[12:57] <balkian> Zelda: I use xchat in gnome, konversation in kde
[12:57] <DIFH-iceroot> Zelda: irssi, but everyone will tell yu another program
[12:57] <Zelda> and thats in the repos?
[12:57] <ermoved> xubuntu intrepid.. has stopped loading the volume control panel app.  tried running from terminal and not getting an error.. any ideas where to look?
[12:57] <Jcb-> I use irssi myself
[12:58] <Zelda> heh why that the command line based IRC?
[12:58] <Jcb-> Just sudo apt-get install irssi
[12:58] <Zelda> thanks. I know how to install.
[12:58] <Jcb-> Yes.
[12:58] <balkian> I'm not pro enough to use irssi :D
[12:58] <zwobble> hey there, ive been send here by the guys from #samba .. considering a possible distro / packaging issue with samba
[12:58] <DIFH-iceroot> Zelda: you can use irssi as a bnc on a vserver
[12:58] <Zelda> som xchat better?
[12:58] <Zelda> er so,
[12:58] <Jcb-> I've used irssi for years.
[12:58] <DIFH-iceroot> Zelda: with screen and ssh + irc-proxy to connect irssi with x-chat and so on
[12:59] <zwobble> this is the exact error: http://pastebin.com/m4168516   <-- there is no samba directory in /etc
[12:59] <balkian> just kidding, Zelda :P
[12:59] <Jcb-> Xchat is fine too.
[12:59] <gizmo> what is the good use for ssh that have in my terminal?
[12:59] <DIFH-iceroot> irssi can also handel icq, msn, yahoo, jabber (bitlbee)
[12:59] <Jcb-> There's BX too.
[12:59] <Zelda> balkian: what are you kidding about?
[12:59] <santiago> join kubuntu
[12:59] <santiago> hello!
[12:59] <balkian> you don't need to be a pro to use irssi :P
[12:59] <Jcb-> Hello.

[13:00] <santiago> who is the .txt for linux?

[13:00] <Zelda> LOL
[13:00] <Jcb-> Np have fun with flash
[13:00] <Jcb-> Thebloggu, no.
[13:00] <eugen> co to jest
[13:01] <Jcb-> Opera > Firefox =P
[13:01] <thebloggu> Jcb-, everytime i use firefox i have to login in gmail. tried deleting cookies, restarting, make a new profile and use login managers
[13:02] <zwobble> Samba install error: http://pastebin.com/m4168516   <-- there is no samba directory in /etc
[13:03] <Jcb-> Thebloggu, I wish I could help you but I do not believe in saving passwords or autologging in, nor do I use firefox. :(
[13:03] <oma-opa> when I open synaptic to choose my software repos, there are two options: 1. (sry translated from german to english) download updates only  2. install security updates without asking.    is there an option that will install all available updates in the background, without asking for permission? (I didnt add hardy-proposed to sources.list)
[13:04] <ortsvorsteher> oma-opa: you can also try #ubuntu-de ;)
[13:04] <oma-opa> thx
[13:04] <thebloggu> Jcb-, thanks anyway
[13:04] <thecube> is tor really anonymous?
[13:05] <skoef> thecube: i believe they don't guarantee 100% anonymity
[13:06] <mylisto> argh
[13:06] <balkian> skoef: nobody does
[13:06] <Jcb-> Tor is anon, but of course the person running the node could log. But it's doubtful.
[13:06] <Zelda> anyone know how to disable the user switcher panel from changing the default power button (red) to the green circle when you load pidgin?
[13:06] <skoef> balkian: true
[13:06] <mylisto> anyone have troubles with webcams in skype?
[13:06] <mylisto> especially getting a green screen?
[13:06] <gizmo> mylisto, what your webcam brand?
[13:06] <zwobble> Issue with samba init script..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/91565/   <-- /etc/samba missing
[13:06] <ermoved> thecube, no, they're not "really anonymous" but it's as close as you'll need for general practice
[13:06] <gizmo> mylisto, is it built in your computer or not?
[13:06] <mylisto> phillips
[13:07] <mylisto> apparently its a skype problem
[13:07] <mylisto> not built on
[13:07] <gizmo> !webcam | mylisto
[13:07] <thecube> thx guys
[13:07] <skoef> wg 62
[13:07] <mylisto> gizmo
[13:07] <gizmo> mylisto,  or you can test your webcam using cheese | 'sudo apt-get install cheese
[13:08] <mylisto> whats !webcam do?
[13:08] <mylisto> the webcam works
[13:08] <Jcb-> Anyone here have trouble with brasero?
[13:08] <thecube> its seems to work quite well except the browsing speed
[13:08] <mylisto> just not in skype
[13:08] <jin__> how do you put the output of the commands date and "cat /proc/stat  | grep -w cpu" to a output file on the same line?
[13:08] <gizmo> :x
[13:08] <gizmo> lol i thought webcam :)
[13:08] <gizmo> sorry i have mistake.
[13:09] <Zelda> Does anyone know anything about the User Switching Panel?
[13:10] <thebloggu> everytime i use firefox i have to login in gmail. tried deleting cookies, restarting, make a new profile and use login managers
[13:10] <Jcb-> Never even heard of it.
[13:10] <Neaai> jin__: cat /proc/stat  | grep -w cpu  > thefile.name.txt
[13:10] <Zelda> its the panel in the top right that has your user name and the power button right next to it.
[13:10] <jin__> Neaai: but I also want the current date on that same line
[13:10] <kret_> im hate ubuntu im hate linux fuck linux:/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!
[13:11] <DIFH-iceroot> kret_: bye
[13:11] <Zelda> ok.
[13:11] <Zelda> BOOT!
[13:11] <Zelda> LOL. thanks.
[13:12] <Jcb-> He's just pissed that 'rm -rf /' didn't fix his problem.
[13:12] <balkian> lol
[13:12] <Pici> Jcb-: Please don't suggest that, even jokingly.
[13:12] <ortsvorsteher> maybe rm -rf take too long...
[13:12] <mylisto> what commands can I use to find what video devices are isntalled
[13:12] <mylisto> ie the /dev/video's?
[13:12] <Zelda> call me stupid, but doesnt that remove the root directory?
[13:12] <Jcb-> Pici, does anyone even fall for that?
[13:12] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> lspci
[13:13] <rnd-1> mylisto : see the Xorg config files
[13:13] <Kartagis> what process do I need to kill in order to be able to rmmod snd_hda_intel?
[13:13] <mylisto> ?
[13:13] <Jcb-> Yes the entire file system zelda
[13:13] <Zelda> heh. thought so
[13:13] <Pici> Jcb-: Yes.
[13:13] <Neaai> jin__: echo -n " `date` : " >  thefile.name.txt ; cat /proc/stat  | grep -w cpu  >> thefile.name.txt
[13:13] <miaviator278> Kartagis: rmmod -f snd_hda_intel
[13:13] <Jcb-> *shakes his head*
[13:14] <Zelda> sorry. Im not really good with unix commands.
[13:14] <Zelda> but I could figure them out
[13:14] <Kartagis> miaviator278, ERROR: Removing 'snd_hda_intel': Resource temporarily unavailable
[13:15] <saulus> Why is my windows able to login users, even when smbd and nmbd and ldap (and winbind - not used) is off? How can I change that? Please help!
[13:15] <balkian> guys, got to go, it's been a pleasure ;)
[13:15] <miaviator278> @Kartagis: lsmod |grep snd_hda_intel
[13:15] <Zelda> thanks for the help
[13:15] <Zelda> have a good one Balkian
[13:15] <Jcb-> Laters balkian
[13:15] <rnd-1> mylisto : see /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[13:15] <mylisto> how?
[13:15] <balkian> good luck with brasero, jcb-
[13:15] <krishnan> what is wrong with this command "sudo cp -R ./upload/ /var/www/forums"
[13:16] <Zelda> use nero. its better.
[13:16] <rnd-1> mylisto : grep video /etc/log/Xorg.0.log
[13:16] <Kartagis> miaviator278, http://pastebin.com/f51019a58
[13:16] <jin__> Neaai: thanks :-) works perfect
[13:16] <rnd-1> mylisto : or grep --color /dev /etc/log/Xorg.0.log
[13:16] <Jcb-> Thanks, anyone else know much about brasero?
[13:16] <miaviator278> @Kartagis: should list what other modules are using it.  or you could reload alsa /etc/init.d/alsa reload
[13:16] <Zelda> jcb: ever used NeroLinux?
[13:17] <gmathews> Hi is it possible to take a video of what is happening on my desktop - like a screenshot - just into a video of like 10 seconds?
[13:17] <miaviator278> @Kartagis: reloading also would be a better choice, why are you trying to unload the sound module?
[13:17] <mylisto> didn't do anything
[13:17] <ortsvorsteher> krishnan: i would try 'sudo cp -rp upload /var/www/forums/
[13:17] <fosco_> gmathews: gtk-recordmydesktop
[13:17] <miaviator278> @gmathews: istanbul or gtk-recordmydesktop
[13:17] <gmathews> thanks
[13:18] <fosco_> gmathews: some samples in www.youtube.com/fosco222
[13:18] <Kartagis> miaviator278, to apply a colution i got in #alsa
[13:18] <Jcb-> Zelda, no and brasero is my only option. Verizon fios is out in my area.
[13:18] <Kartagis> solution*
[13:18] <Pici> Jcb-: Whats wrong with Brasero?
[13:19] <miaviator278> @Kartagis: nice of that solution to not include unloading modules.  What isn't working?
[13:19] <krishnan> ortsvorsteher: iam geting this error "cp: cannot stat `upload': No such file or directory"
[13:19] <Jcb-> Pici, I am attempting to burn a video to a dvd-r. It's under the file/time limit. I get as far as burning setup where burn is then grayed out.
[13:19] <Subdolus> Is there a way to use more than one OSS sound mixed program at once? For example, Skype and a movie at the same time?
[13:19] <Zelda> what media are you using?
[13:20] <Kartagis> miaviator278, sound comes from both speakers and earphones
[13:20] <Bodsda> Hi, my brother needs an OS light enough to run on a 15 year old comp, Is ubuntu + fluxbox / xfce    gonna be light enough, or is there anything, user friendly and lighter?
[13:20] <Subdolus> Zelda: What do you mean?
[13:20] <Jcb-> Zelda, philip's dvd-r 4.4g single layer
[13:20] <Subdolus> Oh :-(
[13:20] <ortsvorsteher> krishnan: try at first to change to directory where directory upload is. or you take the full pathname like /tmp/upload
[13:20] <Zelda> and the video is a single layer?
[13:20] <quatar> hi all! In apt-get install, how can i indicate from which package it shoul install a virtual package?
[13:21] <Zelda> yes you stated that.
[13:21] <kitche> Subdolus: yes and no you would have to use aoss or pulseaudio to get sound from both of them
[13:21] <Jcb-> Bodsda, hdd size and ram?
[13:21] <quatar> (in particular, i want that: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ladspa-plugin )
[13:21] <jin__> what file to look in /pro to get the memory usage?
[13:21] <Pici> quatar: You need to pick the real package that provides that.
[13:21] <Jcb-> Zelda yes
[13:21] <zttr> how can i set my cd drive on auto? it doesn't start the cd unless i do a reboot... :( (mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist)
[13:21] <quatar> uh ok
[13:21] <Zelda> is there an overburn option?
[13:21] <Bodsda> Jcb-, not too sure but lets say, 40GB and 128mb
[13:21] <buggix> hi, I want to reinstall grub after an vista-installation (with this howto: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm?page=6). I'm in the terminal and I've typed grub and then root (hd0,0). after typing setup (hd0) I get an error: file not found... pls help me.
[13:22] <Pici> jin__: meminfo
[13:22] <miaviator278> Kartagis: try the alsa reload command
[13:22] <aremay> !giver
[13:22] <Jcb-> No, nor is it needed a 4.4g video will hold 8hrs of video. I am burning a 703MB avi (or mpeg I have both) 1h53m long.
[13:22] <aremay> guys, is giver available for hardy
[13:22] <Zelda> hm.
[13:23] <Bodsda> !info giver
[13:23] <Bodsda> aremay, yes
[13:23] <aremay> thanks bodsda
[13:23] <Jcb-> Upgrade the ram to 256 and do a very minimal install. I recommend blackbox over gnome too.
[13:23] <Pici> aremay: No. Only for intrepid+
[13:23] <aremay> but, its for intrepid only :(
[13:23] <Subdolus> Is there a way to use more than one OSS sound mixed program at once? For example, Skype and a movie at the same time?
[13:23] <Pici> !who
[13:23] <Kartagis> miaviator278, that loaded the module again
[13:23] <Bodsda> aremay, you may have to use the intrepid repos if its not in hardy's
[13:23] <Bodsda> Jcb-, ram upgrade not an option, im skint so is he
[13:24] <Zelda> yeah dont get intrepid. Im having too many issues with it.
[13:24] <kitche> Subdolus: I already answered your question
[13:24] <aremay> bodsda: is it possible
[13:24] <drkop> hey ppl is it ok install likewise in chroot ?
[13:24] <Bodsda> aremay, it might work, id recommend upgrading to intrepid though
[13:24] <Jcb-> Bodsda, run pc-bsd with a large swap then.
[13:24] <miaviator278> Kartagis: try /etc/init.d/alsa unload
[13:24] <Bodsda> Jcb-, ok, cheers
[13:24] <Jcb-> Or ubuntu 8.0.4 with a min install.
[13:24] <carpii> whats different about ubuntu server compared to desktop? just the lack of a full window manager?
[13:24] <Subdolus> kitche: Ah. I missed it. What's the best out of those two options to try with Ubuntu?
[13:25] <Jcb-> No problem
[13:25] <Zelda> --agree with Jcb. use 8.04
[13:25] <aremay> bodsda : my agp not working well with intrepid eventhough i had installed the correct driver
[13:25] <Jcb-> Carpii, configuration and X doesn't come standard.
[13:25] <Bodsda> Jcb-, i think il do ubuntu 8.10 min + flux + large swap
[13:25] <carpii> do they use the same repositories? ie, could a server be made equivalent to desktop just by installing certain packages?
[13:25] <exo_stryder> hey mates
[13:26] <kitche> Subdolus: most likely have pulseaudio but myself I never touched pulseaudio, see aoss is OSS that goes though ALSA so that you can use more then one program at a time that is OSS only
[13:26] <Bodsda> aremay, ah, ok -- you can try using the intrepid repo's but it is not guaranteed to work
[13:26] <Jcb-> Hm why not 8.0.4 and cvsup the new kernel?
[13:26] <Jcb-> Carpii, yes.
[13:26] <carpii> great, thanks Jcb
[13:26] <aremay> bodsda : thanks
[13:26] <Subdolus> kitche: I think I already have that
[13:26] <Subdolus> AOSS
[13:26] <Bodsda> carpii, ubuntu server is basically minimal desktop + lamp
[13:27] <zttr> anyone know how to mount a cd drive under ubuntu?
[13:27] <Bodsda> aremay, your welcome
[13:27] <Jcb-> No problem Carpii.
[13:27] <kitche> Subdolus: you also have pulseaudio as well
[13:27] <Subdolus> kitche: Actually, I definitely do
[13:27] <Zelda> does ubuntu have a dosemulator?
[13:27] <Jcb-> Zttr, man mount
[13:27] <Zelda> DOSEmulator*
[13:27] <axisys> Bodsda: w/o the lamp unless u choose that during install
[13:27] <ranok> Zelda: dosbox
[13:27] <tiyowan> Zelda: Dosbox
[13:27] <Subdolus> Hmmm.. Well I can't figure it out
[13:27] <carpii> bodsda, thanks too, thats what im looking for really. Just for a vmware I could later upgrade if I needed X etc
[13:27] <Zelda> thansk
[13:27] <Zelda> er thanks
[13:27] <Bodsda> carpii, yeah :)
[13:28] <CaptainMorgan> !mount | zttr
[13:28] <exo_stryder> if i got the right channel, while making a new partition on one of my usb hard drives i had a power loss. now i can't mount the hdd. does anyone know what to do?
[13:28] <gizmo> is it normal to d/l movie using bittorent in 12hrs?
[13:28] <CaptainMorgan> gizmo, depends
[13:28] <Bodsda> axisys, server would be pretty pointless without lamp
[13:28] <CaptainMorgan> gizmo, seeders, tracker, size
[13:28] <zttr> !fstab
[13:28] <kitche> exo_stryder: probably have to remake all of the partitions on the said drive
[13:28] <tiyowan> gizmo: Depends on your connection, in addition to the health of the torrent.
[13:28] <Bodsda> exo_stryder, use gparted to wipe it
[13:29] <gizmo> CaptainMorgan, thats mean normal..its mean success d/l..?
[13:29] <rnd-1> mylisto : what do you want exactly ??
[13:29] <Zelda> heres one, are there tutorials on how to setup a software raid array?
[13:29] <axisys> Bodsda: well I am saying to install server lamp does not get installed automatically unless you choose it
[13:29] <exo_stryder> well the problem is that i need the data on it
[13:29] <Jcb-> Gizmo depends on your transfer speed.
[13:29] <Bodsda> axisys, oh, ok :)
[13:29] <Zelda> he's using AOL
[13:29] <CaptainMorgan> gizmo, I've had some torrents that took more than a day, sometimes two
[13:29] <gizmo> Jcb-, means that can be open after d/l?
[13:29] <CaptainMorgan> gizmo, yes, you should be able to open after d/l
[13:29] <Bodsda> Zelda, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid
[13:29] <gizmo> CaptainMorgan,  what you d/l?movie?
[13:29] <CaptainMorgan> whatever
[13:30] <Zelda> Bosda: Many thanks
[13:30] <Bodsda> Zelda, how well does ubuntu deal with AOL broadband?
[13:30] <Emilis> how do I mount a sco partition, trying mount -f HTFS /dev/sda4 /mnt but it doesn't work
[13:30] <Jcb-> Gizmo, what kind of connection do you have?
[13:30] <Zelda> er Bodsda
[13:30] <gizmo> CaptainMorgan, mean i can burn to dvd using brasero burn?
[13:30] <Bodsda> Zelda, <Zelda> he's using AOL
[13:30] <gizmo> Jcb-, im using wifi/wireless..
[13:30] <Zelda> Bodsda: Im not using AOL. Im on Cable
[13:30] <CaptainMorgan> gizmo, depends on the file format... but yes should be able to. If not, you may have to use conversion software
[13:31] <Bodsda> Zelda, sorry, thought from that post you knew someone with ubuntu + aol
[13:31] <Jcb-> And what's the connection on the other end of the wifi?
[13:31] <CaptainMorgan> brasero is great
[13:31] <gizmo> ok..
[13:31] <gizmo> conversion software?
[13:31] <CaptainMorgan> gizmo, what type of file is it?
[13:31] <gizmo> wait
[13:31] <Zelda> Bodsda: No, as far as I know AOL in a *hush* MS program
[13:31] <aremay> !info quickstart
[13:32] <gizmo> CaptainMorgan,  dvdripp you mean this?
[13:32] <Jcb-> Ex: I am obviously going to be slower in theory on a 50/20 fios connection than a 1g connection at the office.
[13:32] <Bodsda> Zelda, yeah but im moving back to my mums tomoro and she has AOL, and i ditched windows ages ago :(
[13:32] <zttr> i get the following error message when i try to mount my cd drive:  special device /dev/scd0 does not exist
[13:32] <gizmo> CaptainMorgan,  its axxo-avi <--is it ok?
[13:33] <Zelda> Bodsda: yeah I ditched windows when Vista came out. I've been using Ubuntu since. So im a noob!
[13:33] <Jcb-> Bodsda you don't have to run the aol software just to use aol broadband.
[13:33] <Jcb-> Bodsda, uk?
[13:33] <Bodsda> Jcb-, uk yes, really?
[13:33] <exo_stryder> the only thing i can see in gparted is an empty drive, is there any way t fix it?
[13:33] <gizmo> CaptainMorgan,  avi the file is..is it ok?
[13:33] <gizmo> or anyone can help me?
[13:34] <aremay> what is it gizmo?
[13:34] <Bodsda> exo_stryder, right click on your device in gparted and format as fat# (which ever file system you want)
[13:34] <gizmo> i d/l movie with avi file..can be burn to dvd cd?
[13:34] <Jcb-> Carphone warhouse owns AOL UK, it's just rebranded AOL. You'll be fine, you'll just get routed through ATDN for anything outside the UK.
[13:34] <jussi01> !info devede | gizmo
[13:35] <Bodsda> Jcb-, ok, cool cheers

[13:36] <kerik> I could use a little help regarding a Geforce 6600go gfx card...any experts here?

[13:37] <memfis> Hi, I'm having a nightmare getting wpa to work with an old orinoco minipci card. I've tried going through the ubuntu wireless wiki. Tried orinoco drivers from sourceforge which wont compile & tried using wpa_supplicant with ubuntu provided hermes or orinoco drivers. Does anyone have expirience in using wpa_supplicant or ndis drivers who could point me in the right direction?
[13:37] <memfis> I know it's possible without recompiling the kernel, I just don't know how.
[13:38] <kerik> I need help regarding a geforce 6600go that won't work properly...
[13:38] <exo_stryder> thanks a lot i'll search for one ;)
[13:38] <jussi01> !elaborate | kerik
[13:38] <tiyowan> kerik: Did your problem get fixed yesterday?
[13:39] <kerik> jussi01: throw me a bone man...it won't work...
[13:39] <kerik> tiyowan: hey...no not really....
[13:39] <jussi01> kerik: you havent told me how it doesnt work, is it a bad resolution, nothing on screen, what have you done etc?
[13:39] <kerik> I have installed the driver but it doesn't seem to use it nomatter what I do...
[13:39] <bullgard4> http://linux.die.net/man/1/pulseaudio: "If the PulsAudio binary is marked SUID root, then membership of the calling user in the pulse-rt group decides whether real-time and/or high-priority is enabled." What does 'the PulseAudio binary' mean here? Does it mean the file /usr/bin/pulseaudio?
[13:40] <jussi01> kerik: so it loads with a bad resolution or?
[13:40] <kerik> jussi01: oh...sorry mate...bad resolution. Have installed the driver manually but when I reboot I get the low-res. Moreover it seems as it refuses to use my driver...
[13:41] <kerik> jussi01any ideas?
[13:41] <jussi01> kerik: you manually installed the driver, through synaptic? what happened when you tried the hardware drivers wizard?
[13:42] <kerik> jussi01: I installed the driver using the nVidia guide (from outside X...it told me success but no effect...
[13:42] <Bodsda> if im running, ubuntu + fluxbox, what Desktop environment am i using?
[13:42] <tiyowan> kerik:It'd be helpful too if you mentioned everything you tried yesterday, so we can skip the steps which have already been tried.
[13:43] <jussi01> kerik: did you run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" after installing the driver?
[13:43] <kerik> tiyowan: good point. I ran sudo nvidia-xconfig after installing
[13:44] <jussi01> kerik: so why didnt you use the graphical app in ubuntu? or did you try it and it didnt work?
[13:44] <kerik> jussi01: I tried the "hardware drivers" thing under system --> admin...
[13:45] <kerik> jussi01do you know a way to start over, so I could maybe try the Synaptics...or could I just try as is...?
[13:45] <sander_m> Hello. Can someone help me get my scanner to work? I have an Epson Precision 4490 Photo which has "Complete support" according to sane-project.org. But, Ubuntu doesn't let me use it. `lsusb` sees it, sane-find-scanner sees it, but `scanimage -L` does not. Any ideas?
[13:45] <jussi01> kerik: go back tothe hardware drivers wizard and see ifit says enabled?
[13:45] <jussi01> kerik: sorry, I need to run. talk later
[13:45] <runpain2> God day all
[13:46] <kerik> jussi01: ok...it's not enabled...

[13:47] <tiyowan> kerik: Well, I tried to fix a similar problem earlier with thebloggu, but I failed unfortunately. I'm searching on the forums, because this type of problem is really getting to me.
[13:48] <runpain2> yes a way to dail the number than talk to the other person using my computer
[13:48] <Jcb-> Runpain just run asterisk.
[13:48] <kerik> tiyowan: yeah...I have seen a lot of people asking everywhere...and sometimes it seems as it is just "accidential" when they make it work...
[13:48] <runpain2> hmm where is asterisk
[13:49] <tiyowan> kerik: Could you pastebin your /var/log/xorg.0.log file? Let's take a look. I'll try to help you out.
[13:50] <kerik> tiyowan: thanks man...can you tell me how to pastebin it? (I don't even know a site)
[13:50] <runpain2> Jcb-
[13:50] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> www.pastebin.org ?
[13:50] <runpain2> Jcb-I will be downloading it
[13:50] <Subdolus> kitche: This is impossible! Running the movie player and VoIP client using aoss doesn't help or change anything
[13:51] <tiyowan> kerik: paste.ubuntu.com
[13:51] <gizmo> what the command to check my RAM and free hardisk?
[13:51] <rebel_kid> kerik, pastebin.com paste.ubuntu.com pastey.com pastebin.ca pick your favorite lol

[13:52] <gizmo> what the command to check my RAM and free hardisk?
[13:52] <gizmo> what the command to check my RAM and free hardisk on my terminal?
[13:52] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> gizmo, shut up and read whats being typed.
[13:52] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> i've already told you.
[13:52] <gmathews> gizmo: as CoUrPsE|DeAd said 'free' and 'df'
[13:52] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Excellent! :) Everything is fine now visually?
[13:52]  * CoUrPsE|DeAd glares at repeaters.
[13:52] <gizmo> ok..
[13:52] <thebloggu> tiyowan, but the image is somewhat blur, and even though nvidia logo appears on login, in nvidia-settings it says is not using nvidia driver
[13:52] <Jcb-> meminfo && du, should work
[13:52] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> I prob should of put that a bit better mind you... ahh well.
[13:53] <thebloggu> tiyowan, the blur maybe from the monitor..
[13:53] <tiyowan> thbloggu: Blurring eh? Maybe you could try a different refresh rate?
[13:53] <kerik> tiyowan: of course - Xorg is with capital X ;)
[13:53] <sander_m> I have just edited /etc/sane.d/epson2 to add my scanner. How can I now restart sane so that it fids it?
[13:53] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> service sane restart ?
[13:53] <tiyowan> kerik: Hehehe. Yes.
[13:54] <thebloggu> tiyowan, and cmompiz is activated so it must be using nvidia driver
[13:54] <gmathews> is there an Nfo viewer for Ubuntu?
[13:54] <kerik> tiyowan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91595/
[13:54] <thebloggu> tiyowan, compiz*
[13:54] <kerik> tiyowan: can I pm you?
[13:54] <zttr> why can't ubuntu find my cdrom drive?
[13:54] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Well, if it says nv in your xorg.conf file, then its using the nvidia drivers.
[13:54] <tiyowan> kerik: Sure.
[13:54] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> I broke my gfx, :(
[13:54] <gmathews> !nfo

[13:56] <gizmo> how to check partition?
[13:56] <Wiseblood> Hmmm I have a question and I have searched around for a good 15 mins and cant seem to find an answer i understand. Can someone help me? it relates to Ubuntu i686 support for livedisc.
[13:56] <Jcb-> Anyone have further adivse to my earlier question?
[13:56] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> sander_m, sudo service sane restart
[13:56] <fale> it seems the italian ubuntu archive is broken
[13:56] <Jcb-> Sander, just 'restart'
[13:57] <Jcb-> Restart gives it a sane restart.
[13:57] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> oh, my bad.
[13:58] <sander_m> CoUrPsE|DeAd: Nope. serbive: command not found
[13:58] <Jcb-> Sander, restart
[13:58] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> sander_m, you typod service anyway, but listen to Jcb-.
[13:59] <IdleSanta> why am I getting "aptitude: unrecognized option '--disable-columns'" when running " aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages "
[13:59] <sander_m> CoUrPsE|DeAd: That was a typo in IRC, not in the cli, but I will do as you suggest
[13:59] <Wiseblood> Well if anyone is still listening, my problem is that I have a nold laptop from a friend and I tried a 8.04 kubuntu sdisc for standard intel processeors but this laptop isnt of the samne arch (lapto. desktop.) so I am looking for a livedisc for a i686 archetecture it doesnt matter what gm it is as long as it is ubuntu and it is a live disc. Can anyone help?
[13:59] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Ahh k.
[14:00] <Jcb-> Sander, restart and start pinging in 300s to re-ssh in.
[14:01] <erUSUL> Wiseblood: the desktop disk should support any 686 processor
[14:01] <Wiseblood> well I put in the Kubunt udisc and it gave me an error stating that I did not have the support
[14:01] <Wiseblood> if you wnat I will restart this thing and give you the error verbatim
[14:02] <erUSUL> Wiseblood: maybe you have the amd64 disk?
[14:02] <Wiseblood> Damn I just freaking realized that that may be the problem.....lololol so many comps lying artound and I NEVER mark that on the discs (arch type)
[14:02] <Wiseblood> thanks
[14:02] <Wiseblood> I am a bonehead

[14:05] <bakarat_> ikonia, ok, will have a look, thanks :)
[14:05] <kitche> IdleSanta: maybe because it does not understand the --disable-columns option like it says
[14:05] <IdleSanta> kitche, the command comes directly from the !clone factoid
[14:06] <bakarat_> ikonia, any idea if it also works with https? (it's giving me a vague error atm)
[14:06] <ikonia> bakarat_: not sure, don't see why not

[14:15] <tulimaq> nightmareshadow, pastebin.com
[14:16] <LTL> nightmareshadow: try this from terminal: ls Desktop/  does it list the file
[14:17] <nightmareshadow> it says no such file or directory

[14:24] <LTL> bakarat_: i can certainly believe that.
[14:24] <myk_robinson> hey guys. My Evolution is not sending smtp emails today. I can ping the smtp server with no trouble, but Evolution just sits there. Any ideas? If it matters, I live in Tennessee, today I am in California. The server is smtp.1and1.com
[14:24] <LTL> jim_p: i don't know if its in the repo's but i would say yes.
[14:25] <jim_p> LTL, thanks. i am looking for file sharing apps to convert a friend to linux
[14:25] <jussi01> myk_robinson: some isps block port 25
[14:25] <myk_robinson> the ISP is Comcast.
[14:25] <myk_robinson> jussi01: is there a way for me to determine if the path is being blocked? The ISP is Comcast
[14:26] <LTL> myk_robinson: comcast is notorious for blocking ports, is your smtp account setup properly, if your not homed on your home domain there could be issues.
[14:26] <bio45> guys who can help me with pokerth
[14:26] <bio45> ?
[14:27] <myk_robinson> LTL: is there a way in evolution for me to specify the port? I have another port I can use for smtop
[14:27] <bio45> i am rus
[14:27] <myk_robinson> LTL: this same setup works fine at home and from several other places
[14:27] <LTL> myk_robinson: in accounts, edit, sending mail
[14:27] <hwilde> hey everybody.  is there any way to see more timestamps about a file than ls -al  ?
[14:27] <c0p3rn11> shouldnt the geforce 6200 be supported ? (error: http://share.ovi.com/media/c0p3rn1c.public/c0p3rn1c.10108)
[14:27] <c0p3rn11> in intrepid
[14:28] <hwilde> somebody copied an old file over mine so the timestamp is 2008-09-30.  but I would liek to know when it was copied over the old file if possible
[14:28] <myk_robinson> LTL: no port setting is showing. I am googling it ow
[14:28] <Arrick> can anyone tell me how to get the ubuntu version of xchat to show the users on the right like the windows version does?
[14:28] <hwilde> Arrick, just drag the right bar over a bit there should be a UserList
[14:28] <myk_robinson> LTL: looks like you just add it after the server with a colon. For example  smtp.host.com:587
[14:29] <myk_robinson> I will try another port and see what happens
[14:29] <magnetron> Arrick→ ctrl+f7
[14:29] <hwilde> Arrick, otherwise,  Settings- > Preferences -> UserList ->  Show on Upper Right
[14:29] <Arrick> magnetron: it doesnt do anything here
[14:29] <myk_robinson> LTL: why would an ISP block a common email port?
[14:29] <hwilde> myk_robinson, so you have to use their server
[14:29] <magnetron> Arrick→ there's an option in the menu
[14:29] <themohd> hi guys
[14:30] <LTL> myk_robinson: try it without the colon and port number
[14:30] <Arrick> im looking for it, not seeing it
[14:30] <magnetron> Arrick→ it's there
[14:30] <hwilde> myk_robinson, that is pretty common for mail ports to be messed with;  maybe not blocked but filter or run through a spam filter
[14:30] <themohd> HI
[14:30] <nkei0> Hello, does anyone here know if kmuddy works in gnome?
[14:30] <myk_robinson> LTL: that is the way I have it now. I want to try now to use port 587. I assume it defaults to 25
[14:30] <LTL> myk_robinson: try it without the colon and port number, and try SSL encryption.
[14:30] <nightmareshadow>  yes i see the file on my desktop
[14:30] <hwilde> nkei0, it should, go ahead and try
[14:31] <nkei0> hwilde: Thanks.
[14:31] <jerre> shouldnt the geforce 6200 be supported in ubuntu intrepid? (error: http://share.ovi.com/media/c0p3rn1c.public/c0p3rn1c.10108)
[14:31] <themohd> plz, can any one tell me how to read arabic text files on xubuntu?
[14:31] <myk_robinson> LTL: i dont think it supports SSL. Here's the info from my webhost for email    http://faq.1and1.com/e_mail/setting_up_email_clients_like_ms_outlook_outlook_express_and_netscape_mail_/1.html
[14:31] <myk_robinson> LTL: I got "Connection Refused" when i tried SSL
[14:32] <LTL> nightmareshadow: you in a terminal still, type cd Desktop [hit enter]
[14:32] <LTL> myk_robinson: use just the smtp server, the port is default.
[14:32] <myk_robinson> LTL: it worked using port 587
[14:32] <themohd> plz, can any one tell me how to read arabic text files on xubuntu?
[14:32] <LTL> myk_robinson: ask comcast
[14:32] <myk_robinson> LTL: I guess Comcast is blocking or filtering port 25.
[14:33] <jerre> themohd: did you install the arabic ?
[14:33] <hwilde> hey everybody.  is there any way to see more timestamps about a file than ls -al  ?
[14:33] <hwilde> somebody copied an old file over mine so the timestamp is 2008-09-30.  but I would liek to know when it was copied over the old file if possible
[14:33] <myk_robinson> LTL: I am just visiting family for 5 days, so this will be over soon anyway. But looks like port 587 is working
[14:33] <themohd> yes
[14:33] <mungustas> hello! does any one now, how to use lftp thru socks5 proxy (ssh) ?
[14:33] <The_Joe_> After formatting a disk in GParted how do I mount it again?
[14:33] <jerre> themohd: sorry I donno then
[14:33] <themohd> ok
[14:33] <myk_robinson> LTL: just sent another one, it went out fine as well. I will just leave it at port 587, i guess. Thanks!
[14:34] <themohd> thnx anyway
[14:34] <LTL> nightmareshadow: type mv the-filename .. [hit enter]
[14:35] <Arrick> magnetron: the only option I find is to hit ctrl+u and it brings up a seperate window, then goes away when you click.
[14:35] <hwilde> Arrick, pretend like the user list is there but minimized and drag it open
[14:35] <nightmareshadow> mv: missing destination file operand after `mc-4.6.1'
[14:35] <nightmareshadow> and its a folder if that matters
[14:36] <LTL> nightmareshadow: type mv the-filename .. [hit enter] the two dots are needed.
[14:36] <nkei0> hwilde: Just in case you wanted to know, no, kmuddy does not work in gnome.
[14:36] <The_Joe_> Anyone? No one?
[14:36] <nkei0> hwilde: Unless of course there is something that I'm missing
[14:36] <jpjacobs> The_Joe_, tried mount?
[14:36] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, Yes
[14:36] <magnetron> Arrick→ look... just look in the menu. you *DID* install xchat from the via the regular ubuntu method, right?
[14:36] <hwilde> nkei0, what'd you do apt-get install kmuddy?
[14:36] <The_Joe_> Just tells me it can't find it
[14:36] <jpjacobs> so what 's the problem with it?
[14:36] <nightmareshadow> mv: cannot stat `mc-4.6.1': No such file or directory
[14:36] <Arrick> yes magnetron and it is NOT there
[14:37] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, It won't mount
[14:37] <nkei0> hwilde: No, I downloaded the source and tried to compile/install that way.
[14:37] <Arrick> I've looked at EVERY option under there
[14:37] <hwilde> Arrick, Settings-> Preferences -> User List -> Show on Right
[14:37] <jpjacobs> The_Joe_, you already made a filesystem on the newly made partition did you?
[14:37] <The_Joe_> It probably would after a reboot but I really can't be bothered waiting if it turns out there's a 30 second option
[14:37] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, Yes - ext3
[14:37] <hwilde> nkei0, ok so... is that a package or what ?  I can't find it
[14:37] <Arrick> there is no userlist option in preferences on here hwilde
[14:37] <jim_p> does anyone know what is an smp option on the kernel or smp kernel?
[14:37] <jpjacobs> hmmm weird... error?
[14:37] <hwilde> Arrick, Go to Help About what version?
[14:37] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, No error
[14:37] <Arrick> heck there isnt even a settings, its under edit
[14:38] <hwilde> Arrick, you are not using the right version.
[14:38] <nkei0> hwilde: No, I had to download it from their official website.  They do make .deb packages, but I figured compiling from source would be the best way to do it.
[14:38] <jpjacobs> erm... so it's mounted i guess
[14:38] <hwilde> nkei0, no, get the .deb package!
[14:38] <jpjacobs> The_Joe_, tried looking in the autput of mount,
[14:38] <hwilde> Arrick, Go to Help About what version?
[14:38] <ghaleb_> hello, I'm trying to configure libnss-ldap to authenticate via ldap, I apt-get install libnss-ldap but can't find /etc/libnss-ldap.conf !!
[14:38] <Arrick> hwilde: i installed it using the ubuntu synaptic package manager
[14:38] <Arrick> one sec
[14:38] <jpjacobs> (i mean mount without options)
[14:38] <hwilde> Arrick, Go to Help About what version?
[14:38] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, Want it pastebinning?
[14:38] <hwilde> !pastebin
[14:38] <nkei0> hwilde: Why would one want to use .deb package over source?
[14:38] <LTL> nightmareshadow: are you trying to install mc midnight commander?
[14:38] <Arrick> xchat-gnome 0.24.1
[14:38] <Arrick> hwilde: ^
[14:39] <hwilde> nkei0, because the .deb package will install right.
[14:39] <jpjacobs> The_Joe_, ok
[14:39] <hwilde> Arrick, it should say xchat 2.8.4 atleast.
[14:39] <nightmareshadow> yes
[14:39] <eth01> sudo to save a file when giving permission error?
[14:39] <nkei0> hwilde: heh, okay i'll give it a try
[14:39] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, Ok - give me a se
[14:39] <The_Joe_> c
[14:39] <magnetron> Arrick→ oh, you are not using x-chat!!!
[14:39] <LTL> nightmareshadow: type sudo apt-get install mc
[14:39] <Arrick> hwilde: then it must be something I have to dl from another source seperatly.
[14:39] <hwilde> Arrick, exit that program, go to Applications, Internet,  XChat IRC
[14:39] <Arrick> thats what i did to get here hwilde
[14:39] <magnetron> hwilde→ he's not using xchat.
[14:39] <eth01> i can't save a file? something about permissions.
[14:40] <hwilde> magnetron, all yours then
[14:40] <hwilde> eth01, sudo.
[14:40] <Arrick> one sec, i think I installed the wrong version lol, brb
[14:40] <hwilde> Arrick, open a terminal type  "which xchat"
[14:40] <nightmareshadow> thank you
[14:40] <eth01> it can't find sudo?
[14:40] <magnetron> Arrick→ you're using xchat-gnome, not xchat. they are very different.
[14:40] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, http://paste2.org/p/119945
[14:40] <The_Joe_> I don't see it there
[14:40] <Arrick> yeah, I just remembered magnetron
[14:40] <Arrick> lol
[14:40] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, I only see my master HD
[14:41] <LTL> eth01: save it to your home dir, /home/your-user-name
[14:41] <eth01> working now (my fault)
[14:41] <jpjacobs> The_Joe_, could be you should reboot in order to have the kernel see a newly made partition...
[14:42] <The_Joe_> jpjacobs, Oh ok, thanks
[14:42] <hwilde> jpjacobs, no reboot it not necessary really
[14:42] <hwilde> you just have to mount the new partition
[14:42] <ksbalaji> Can I have a sliding control for hue, brightness, contrast etc like an audio-volume control? If there is one, which application please?
[14:43] <runpain2> Jcb- i still dont know how to use asterisk
[14:43] <nkei0> hwilde: Hmm, that's weird, why does the .deb package work and not compiling from source...
[14:43] <Prabz> HI, I just now installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my frnd's laptop.. after a few restarts, it's giving an improper shutdown message, and isn't starting. Fsck dies with error code 4.. and asking for manual fsck. what can be done??
[14:43] <nightmareshadow> and thats it for mc?
[14:43] <Arrick> thanks magnetron and hwilde for helping me figure out what i messed up
[14:44] <magnetron> Arrick→ you're welcome
[14:44] <LTL> nightmareshadow: thats it, now type mc in a terminal
[14:44] <jpjacobs> hwilde, had to do it sometime.. then fdisk told me to reboot to have the kernel load the new partition table...
[14:44] <hwilde> nkei0, the .deb package was made to work in ubuntu
[14:45] <hwilde> jpjacobs, eh won't hurt
[14:45] <nkei0> hwilde: Ah, thanks.
[14:45] <n8tuser> Prabz -> does it kick you to login in single user mode? if not -- use the livecd to boot and fsck the faulty boot partition
[14:45] <nkei0> hwilde: Do you use kmuddy yourself?
[14:46] <Prabz> n8tuser, it's exactly like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574174
[14:46] <Arrick> I'll tell you the #1 thing I DONT like about the newest version of ubuntu..... Why the heck is it AUTOMATICALLY mounting my ntfs partitions r/w ?
[14:46] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> or could try pressing esc while loading grub, and choose kernel (recovery)
[14:46] <runpain2> How can i use my modem as a telephone from my computer
[14:46] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> I had to do that tonight to fdsk my hdd.
[14:46] <spdz2> What is the difference between creating a primary and an extended partition?
[14:46] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> runpain2, Didnt someone already tell you?
[14:46] <Prabz> n8tuser, it does ask me to login into maintainence. as root
[14:47] <runpain2> cant figure it out
[14:47] <magnetron> spdz2→ BIOS limits the number of primary partitions to 4
[14:47] <nightmareshadow> mc is run through the terminal?
[14:47] <LTL> Arrick: install ntfs-config and tell it not to, unless its already installed, skip the install
[14:47] <LTL> nightmareshadow: thats correct
[14:47] <ksbalaji> I have volume control in my panel. Similarly, can I have a sliding controls for hue, brightness and contrast please? Some websites make it very necessary!
[14:47] <tiyowan> Arrick: Storage Device Manager || editing /etc/fstab should get rid of that.
[14:47] <spdz2> Seeing as I wish the second partition to be a data partition, would it make more sense to have it as an extended partition?
[14:48] <runpain2> CoUrPsE|DeAd cant figure it out
[14:48] <LTL> nightmareshadow: i think you would prefer nautilus
[14:48] <nightmareshadow> which is?
[14:48] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Ahh right.
[14:48] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> did you google it? or man it?
[14:48] <runpain2> got astrick installed but cant find it
[14:48] <LTL> nightmareshadow: nautilus is a graphical file manager.
[14:49] <nightmareshadow> ok
[14:49] <kitche> runpain2: what asterisk command does not work?
[14:49] <armok> testing this Xchat thing, how do I get to the WorldIRC server even?
[14:49] <kitche> runpain2: well wait you mean astrick?
[14:50] <krishnan> iam not able to install forum in my site. can anyone help me?
[14:50] <nightmareshadow> part of the problem is awhile ago i made a .rar file encryped it then lost the password and i would really like to open that file

[15:01] <ksbalaji> sorry to repeat - after 5 minutes. Like volume control in the panel, can I have controls for hue, brightness etc please? Websites make it necessary!

[15:02] <LTL> ksbalaji: have you tried the controls on your monitor?
[15:03] <ksbalaji> LTL, I have been operating those and I fear that the buttons may soon fall off!
[15:03] <Terabyte> hey,
[15:03] <Pici> krishnan: Wait. You deleted /usr/bin/dpkg ?
[15:04] <Terabyte> docx files, is there a program to read them on linux?
[15:04] <dante123> hi all,  I installed ubuntu on a friend's computer (Dual boot with WIndows XP).  The windows side got messed up (virus etc.) and he wants me to reinstall windows for some apps that he must have for work etc.  However, if I reinstall windows in the first partition......it will wipe out the boot menu (grub) so how do I fix that after reinstalling windows?
[15:04] <Linuxrevolution> vallhalla81: sudo dmidecode | more
[15:04] <LTL> ksbalaji: your monitor may be going south, dying slow.
[15:04] <Kartagis> where can i find alsa backport?
[15:04] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub dante123
[15:05] <vallhalla81> Linuxrevolution: thank you
[15:05] <dante123> bazhang thanks!
[15:05] <Linuxrevolution> vallhalla81: np
[15:05] <ksbalaji> LTL, I sit for 6 hours before the monitor each day and now-a-days, I need easy controls for brightness etc.
[15:05] <krishnan> Pici: yes i deleted that file
[15:05] <Linuxrevolution> guys how to lock screen lets in desktop that when press show desktop, screen lets stay there without minimizing?
[15:07] <ksbalaji> LTL, not that the monitor is dying, but my eyes - perhaps. I find some websites very annoyingly bright. I want an easy way to control this.
[15:07] <LTL> ksbalaji: I don't know of any software controls for the monitor brightness hue etc.
[15:07] <Terabyte> docx files, is there a program to read them on linux? the online converters don't work.
[15:07] <Pici> krishnan: Thats not good. Were you getting this error before you delted that?
[15:07] <LTL> ksbalaji: you might try a different theme, right click on your desktop
[15:08] <kitche> Terabyte: openoffice.org-3 among other office apps
[15:08] <Terabyte> brilliant
[15:08] <somedude> how can i set my monitor 1900x1080
[15:08] <krishnan> Pici: no i was not getting this error before i deleted this file. I am getting it since i deleted tht file.
[15:08] <Terabyte> thanks
[15:08] <ksbalaji> LTL, that's a good idea. - the theme. And God! let someone find some SW cntrols before many eyes close.
[15:09] <LTL> ksbalaji: you can change font size there also
[15:09] <mon^rch> there is a chmod command for me to own all my files so nobody cant browse my home dir... what is it again?
[15:10] <LTL> mon^rch: chmod 700 will do that
[15:10] <btse> chown -R you: ~
[15:10] <btse> chmod 0700 ~
[15:10] <ksbalaji> thanks anyway LTL , I waited long enough to get any response and yours was the only one.- Font size? I use FF - mouse control to change size.
[15:10] <krishnan> Pici: what now? worst case i can reinstall my server?
[15:10] <LTL> ksbalaji: welcome
[15:11] <Pici> krishnan: Let me see if I can come up with a solution. Give me a few monites.
[15:11] <Pici> krishnan: *minutes* (sorry, can't type today)
[15:12] <Kartagis> where can i find alsa backport?
[15:13] <MrWehadababyitsa> hey
[15:13] <Linuxrevolution> problem about screenlets
[15:14] <LTL> Kartagis: enable backports in synaptic may be the easiest way.
[15:14] <MrWehadababyitsa> I want to build a livecd with "linux live scripts" and I wonder if someone could let me know if the standard install will install all the modules and scripts to detect hardware etc that the ubuntu liveCD has?
[15:14] <Kartagis> LTL, then how do I use *that*?
[15:15] <Pici> krishnan: This is a bit of a reach, but it *should* work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91647/
[15:15] <jaw> Hi all.
[15:16] <Kartagis> what I want to do is upgrade alsa
[15:16] <MrWehadababyitsa> actually, (asking to be beet up here but) does the gentoo livecd still have better hardware support than ubuntu? anyone know?
[15:16] <LTL> Kartagis: click system - administration - synaptic package manager, repositories, updates, enable backports
[15:16] <jaw> Who has ever encountered the following?  Ubuntu Intrepid & Evolution.  Trying to connect to exchange server.  Evolution asks for the password over and over, and then says Outlook is offline. Ideas?
[15:17] <ortsvorsteher> jaw: yes, try to delete your key.
[15:17] <gizmo> how to install sshd?
[15:18] <MrWehadababyitsa> gizmo sudo apt-get install ssh
[15:18] <LTL> Kartagis: you'll only get the version the repositories have.
[15:18] <jaw> to Gizmo..
[15:18] <jaw> # sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
[15:18] <Kartagis> LTL, backports is enabled
[15:18] <MrWehadababyitsa> jaw ssh package gone?
[15:19] <jaw> gone?
[15:19] <LTL> Kartagis: update and upgrade is all you can do, other than compiling from source, which i don't recommend.
[15:19] <MrWehadababyitsa> ssh always installed openssh client and server. not anymore?
[15:19] <jaw> Dunno...
[15:19] <jaw> But is you don't have it.. that will install it
[15:19] <LTL> MrWehadababyitsa: openssh-server installs both iirc
[15:19] <Pici> MrWehadababyitsa: 'ssh' is a metapackage that depends on  openssh-server openssh-client
[15:20] <krishnan> Pici: I am trying that will get back to you once it gets finished
[15:20] <jaw> I "think" some dumbed down desktop version don't install the daemon
[15:20] <MrWehadababyitsa> thanks
[15:20] <jaw> welcome
[15:20] <MrWehadababyitsa> :)
[15:20] <Hideme> Evolution appears to check my mail, but really it's not.   Does it log connection attempts, if so where?
[15:20] <Terabyte> hey, i have an ipod nano, is there anyway to transfer music onto it using linux?
[15:20] <Neaai> jaw: the standard desktop install doesn't install the ssh server
[15:20] <jaw> close evolution
[15:20] <jaw> then run it from the terminal
[15:21] <Neaai> jaw: I've had to add it myself after initial install.
[15:21] <jaw> it should show you what happens
[15:21] <jaw> Has anyone here got Evolution working with Exchange...?
[15:21] <badserii> Hi! I have a question. When I run iftop, I see a lot of connections to the port 53 (domain) from different hosts. Now, when I run 'netstat -atp' I see no service listening to this port. I wrote a rule 'iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp --dport 53 -j DROP', but I continue to see traffic to this port with iftop. I did a tcpdump for this port, it captured lots of packets. Is that possible? Thank you in advance!
[15:22] <LTL> jaw: it probably is, but check the plugins to enable it.
[15:22] <Hideme> jaw  with "evolution" as the command?
[15:22] <ikonia> badserii sure is
[15:22] <ortsvorsteher> jaw: i have run evolution, connected to an exchange box
[15:22] <badserii> ikonia: how to avoid this?
[15:22] <jaw> plugin is enabled..
[15:23] <jaw> problem is... it keeps asking for the password over and over... won't save it
[15:23] <jaw> workmate has it working perfectly with the same exchange server
[15:23] <Hideme> I've had that password issue before.
[15:23] <jaw> Do you recall how it was fixed?
[15:23] <vasoq> is there a way to make an account have no shell but still log in?
[15:23] <kitche> badserii: are you sure it
[15:24] <kitche> badserii: are you sure it's connectins to you and your not sending the connections out when yuo visit a website?
[15:24] <jaw> hmm
[15:24] <badserii> kitche: I'm not visiting any site
[15:24] <frostburn> badserii, port 53 is used for DNS
[15:24] <vallhalla81> do ati cards run ok on ubuntu?
[15:25] <jaw> Has anyone else noticed that the clipboard empties when you close an app?  For example,, if you copy text in firefox, close it and then try to paste the text.. it is gone
[15:25] <LTL> vallhalla81: some do, some dont
[15:25] <nettezzaumana> hi all
[15:25] <jaw> bug?
[15:25] <ardchoille> !ati | vallhalla81
[15:25] <Hideme> Evolution appears to check my mail, but really it's not (started happening after it lost passwords for no reason).   Does it log connection attempts, if so where?
[15:25] <badserii> frostburn: yes. but it should be port 53 on the remote, dns server, not on my machine.
[15:25] <hateball> jaw⚘ it's the way it *works*. You can try installing glipper or klipper
[15:25] <nettezzaumana> can be sorted packages using dpkg*/apt* by time installation/removal ??
[15:25] <Hangwire> Can anyone help me with my MP3 player problem? All the files show up as Read only, but yesterday it worked perfectly!
[15:25] <kitche> badserii: yes on your machine
[15:26] <vallhalla81> excelent thank you
[15:26] <LTL> badserii: run chkrootkit
[15:26] <Pici> nettezzaumana: You'll have to look in /var/log/dpkg.log
[15:26] <frostburn> badserii, are you on a public IP or a local network?
[15:26] <Hangwire> Can anyone help me with my MP3 player problem? All the files show up as Read only, but yesterday it worked perfectly!
[15:26] <Neaai> jaw: I've noticed that. I think it has to do with the fact that there exist 2 clipboards. one is the X clipboard, the other is the application clipboard.
[15:26] <klync> Hangwire: by mp3 player, you mean a usb device? i'm guessing it's the mount options in /etc/fstab
[15:26] <Hangwire> klync: yes, its a USB device. what do i edit there? Whats fstab?
[15:26] <klync> anyone here using amanda? wondering what uid would be best to use for an ubuntu client... the already existing "backup" user?
[15:26] <Hangwire> !fstab
[15:26] <kerik> Hey again

[15:27] <nettezzaumana> Pici: solved by that .. have a nice xmas buddy ;)

[15:27] <ikonia> JonathanEllis is it a fat 32 partition ?
[15:28] <Neaai> JonathanEllis: I suppose it's a ntfs partition ?

[15:28] <tiyowan> kerik: Hey mate. What's the situation now?
[15:28] <_cb> Need to edit xconf in ubuntu but think I need to do it with a sudo command. How do I do it?
[15:28] <Hangwire> klync: how do i Access it? its not a folder?
[15:28] <ikonia> JonathanEllis: arey ou %100 sure it's not fat 32 ?

[15:28] <klync> Hangwire: there may be graphical tools for this, but i'm a cli guy, myself... if you're unsure how to edit a file in /etc, i can't be of much help
[15:28] <kerik> tiyowan, BAD...
[15:28] <JonathanEllis> ikonia: Definitely sure its ntfs. I only just formatted it
[15:28] <Terabyte> rpm*

[15:29] <tiyowan> kerik: Uh-oh. What happened?
[15:29] <Hangwire> klync: i can edit a file, ill just sudo it. But what do i edit?
[15:29] <Neaai> JonathanEllis: you can't change the ownership like that to what I know. ownership as you know it in linux is an ext3 feature of the filesystem that does not apply in ntfs.
[15:29] <Flynsarmy> Hwo do you modify stuff that runs on startup? i turned something off and now i can't find the startup stuff to enable it again
[15:29] <LTL> JonathanEllis: use ntfs-config
[15:29] <Hangwire> klync: i can edit a file, ill just sudo it. But what do i edit?
[15:29] <klync> Hangwire: it may be an entry called /dev/uba or /dev/hda
[15:29] <klync> Hangwire: i mean, sda
[15:29] <klync> also, i can hear you the first time - no need to repeat everything twice
[15:30] <Pici> Flynsarmy: You can use 'bum' (bootup manager)
[15:30] <krishnan> Pici: it is not at all working
[15:30] <ikonia> JonathanEllis make sure it's a.) not mounted read only b.) it's mounted with user options
[15:30] <Pici> krishnan: Can you specify the actual name of the dpkg-something.deb file instead?
[15:30] <badserii> frostburn: It's a fresh install! And it should be blocked by iptables
[15:30] <estagio> Hi
[15:31] <estagio> alguem portugues?
[15:31] <Pici> !pt | estagio
[15:31] <bazhang> #ubuntu-br estagio
[15:31] <estagio> #ubuntu-br
[15:31] <Neaai> Pici: can't krishnan look at the /var/cache/apt/archives/   for his dpkg.deb file and get the missing file from there?
[15:31] <Flynsarmy> Pici, do you know how i can get the bluetooth icon back in my system tray? I'm not sure if its running on my laptop anyumore or not
[15:32] <Pici> Flynsarmy: I really don't know anything about bluetooth, sorry.
[15:32] <krishnan>
[15:32] <Pici> Neaai: He may, but it may not be there.  Hes already downloaded the .deb, we just need the binary now.
[15:33] <tiyowan> ikonia: Hi. Do you have some time on your hands at the moment?
[15:33] <ikonia> tiyowan a little, what's up ?
[15:33] <Neaai> krishnan: do you have a gui, or just commandline ?
[15:33] <klync> Hangwire: i've never connected a usb drive on ubuntu - now that i look at my fstab, i'm guessing that's the wrong place. currently looking in /etc/udev/rules.d/ for an apropriate line
[15:33] <klync> Hangwire: i've never connected a usb drive on ubuntu - now that i look at my fstab, i'm guessing that's the wrong place. currently looking in /etc/udev/rules.d/ for an apropriate line
[15:33] <JonathanEllis> ikonia, ltl and Neaai: Thanks. Should have remembered ntfs doesnt have the flexibility of ext3! Anyway, actually I dont need to take ownership of it as all I want to do is copy some files onto it. I just forgot that I wouldnt need to do that step - it seems I have spent enough time away from windows stuff to forget its limitations :-)
[15:34] <Hangwire> klync: okay, let me know.
[15:34] <ikonia> JonathanEllis: at least your working
[15:34] <tiyowan> ikonia: More of the same. nvidia problems. kerik's running a nvidia 6600 card. Stuck on low resolution.
[15:34] <klync> basically, i'm looking for an entry which will create the device node when the player is plugged in, and what the permissions on the node will be
[15:34] <ikonia> tiyowan: well, pass on the detals and lets take a look
[15:35] <krishnan> Neaai: i have a command line
[15:35] <JonathanEllis> ikonia, LTL, Neaai: Files are copying as we speak. I need it to be ntfs as I also need to take some files off a windows machine with that disk
[15:35] <kerik> ikonia, thanks :)
[15:35] <klync> Hangwire: can you try doing `df`, then plugging the device in, then doing `df` again to see which new device is listed?
[15:35] <jerre> I'm getting low-graphics mode on my supposed to be supported geforce 6200 : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1006352 (dunno why it's marked as solved btw)
[15:36] <Hangwire> klync: okay, just a second.
[15:36] <tiyowan> ikonia: Roger. Here's his xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91595/, his xorg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/91598/plain/.
[15:36] <klync> Hangwire: then, look for that device in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules and change the option for it so that the permissions are 0660
[15:36] <frostburn> badserii, i don't think there's any rules on by default,  I've never really checked since I don't have ubuntu on any public ips
[15:36] <klync> Hangwire: ... and make sure you're in the group that owns the device
[15:37] <master31> hi, this server is only in english? or I can speak others languages?
[15:37] <ikonia> tiyowantiyowan the driver is nv - thats a pretty good start of a problem, and wheere did all the modeline stuff come from ?
[15:37] <Hangwire> klync: ill do these things, its just, yesterday it worked fine, how come it doesnt today?
[15:37] <polatouche_et_co> Hi, I need help on a OpenGL related problem. Someone ready to help?
[15:37] <bazhang> master31, #ubuntu-es for espanol
[15:37] <Neaai> krishnan: well, dpkg-deb -x  filename.deb  /directory/to/extract/  should do what you need. I think Pici already told you that.
[15:37] <klync> Hangwire: no idea
[15:37] <master31> thanks
[15:37] <master31> bazhang
[15:37] <tiyowan> ikonia: He's running 8.04. H/W drivers shows nvidia drivers in use but not enabled. He tried installing the drivers manually from nvidia as well. Right now he's getting an interlaced screen. Don't know about the modeline, someone made him edit his xorg.conf yesterday.
[15:37] <Hangwire> klync: computers, i guess.
[15:38] <ikonia> tiyowan well, if he's started messing around with drivers from nvidia.com instead of working through the other problems his modules setup and libc interface is going to be screwed
[15:38] <klync> Hangwire: yup .... they're not logical - that's a common misconception
[15:38] <klync> :P
[15:38] <_cb> I just installed 8.10. How can I force it to do updates?
[15:38] <kerik> tiyowan, well...it should be the original conf file...though nVidia has changed in it...
[15:38] <jpjacobs> _cb : dist-upgrade
[15:38] <bazhang> _cb no need to force
[15:38] <ikonia> kerik nvidia doesn't change it
[15:38] <ikonia> kerik: what really changed ?
[15:39] <tiyowan> ikonia: sudo dpkg -l | grep nvidia  @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/91603/, nvidia installer log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/91620/, dmesg @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/91633/
[15:39] <Hideme> Evolution appears to check my mail, it receives from a few accounts, but none under a specific ISP. Started happening after it lost passwords for no reason, I see the pop connection attempt, no errors.   Does it log connection attempts, if so where?
[15:39] <kerik> ikonia, I dont know but the nvidia setup told me that it made changes...
[15:39] <ikonia> tiyowan mega so all 3 installed
[15:39] <ikonia> kerik what nvidia setup ?
[15:39] <ikonia> tiyowan thats a real mess
[15:39] <tim167> hello,i am trying to use vncviewer, the computer i want to connect to has the same name as mine (it's an pc running an image of my laptop) so vncviewer connects my laptop to itself, what can I do ?
[15:39] <ikonia> kerik what is "nvidia-installer" ?
[15:39] <Hangwire> klync: believe it or not, when i plug it in after DF, it works perfectly.
[15:40] <klync> Hangwire: :^/
[15:40] <dr_willis> tim167 connect via ip # not hostname
[15:40] <Hangwire> klync: oh wait, too soon to be happy. it just says its read only now.
[15:40] <kerik> ikonia, I downloaded a driver from nvidia.com and followed instructions on how to install..manually from outside X
[15:40] <ikonia> kerik why ?
[15:40] <klync> Hangwire: my mp3 player also has a "lock" position... could that be it?
[15:40] <tiyowan> ikonia: I know. The only command he used is sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1.run to install nvidia drivers I think. nvidia-installer is the one that comes with that. The log file is from it as well.
[15:40] <ikonia> kerik why do you also have 3 nvidia driver packags installed on your system
[15:40] <tim167> dr_willis: ok i can try that, can you give an example command  ?
[15:41] <ikonia> kerik: your nvidia setup is in a real mess
[15:41] <Hangwire> klync: its just a sang 1 gb mp3 player bought for like 15 dollars, i dont thing theres something on it like that
[15:41] <dr_willis> tim167:  vncviewer ip:port
[15:41] <kerik> ikonia, you think? ;)
[15:41] <ikonia> kerik: if I was you I would re-install ubuntu and work through the driver setup properly wihtout going to places like nvidia.com
[15:41] <JonathanEllis> ikonia, LTL, Neaai: Thanks and Happy Christmas!
[15:41] <tim167> dr_willis: ok thanks, trying now...
[15:41] <ikonia> kerik: at the moment you will have 3 sets of nvidia modules from ubuntu and 1 from nvuidia.com all with libc interfaces
[15:42] <Neaai> JonathanEllis: you're welcome. merry x-mass for you too
[15:42] <Fritten> How do I format an external hard disc with Fat32?
[15:42] <kerik> ikonia, ok...how about when I reinstall? it will still fail to find my monitor and I will have the same issues...but will I be able to fix it by then?
[15:42] <Hideme> Evolution appears to check my mail, it receives from a few accounts, but none under a specific ISP. Started happening after it lost passwords for no reason, I see the pop connection attempt, no errors.   Does it log, if so where?
[15:42] <tim167> hm i get vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused, any idea ?
[15:43] <tiyowan> kerik: We could take a crack at fixing that. :)
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik I just got my 6600 working under intrepid
[15:43] <Hangwire> Fritten: with partition editor, sudo apt-get install gparted or something, then plug it in and right click the drive - format
[15:43] <ASULutzy> tim167: So the ip address you are trying to connect to doesn't currently have a vncserver?
[15:43] <CntryTousrTrout> Gnea: U around ?
[15:43] <kerik> tiyowan, ikonia I will now format the disc and start over...I'll get back to you ASAP :)
[15:44] <tiyowan> ikonia: Do you think uninstalling the drivers from nvidia.com is going to rollback the changes properly? Or are the dependencies fubar'ed completed?
[15:44] <Fritten> Thanks
[15:44] <kerik> tiyowan, doesn't really matter...I think its faster the hard way around..
[15:44] <tim167> ASULutzy: hm apparently it was a wrong port number, although i set 'use alternative port', but it stayed 0, now it works, i hope it will also work if i try it from home later today...
[15:44] <tiyowan> kerik: Ok. You reinstall, mate. *Don't* do anything with any drivers. Come online and we'll work then.
[15:44] <Hangwire> klync: i cant find the Drive in rules.d, theres no sdb in 40-permissions rules
[15:45] <kerik> tiyowan, thanks mate!
[15:45] <ikonia> tiyowan they are quite awkward to un-install more so when they conflict with ubuntu's packaged versions
[15:45] <tiyowan> Jack_Sparrow: Care to share some details on the 6600?
[15:45] <ikonia> kerik: get a fresh install and we'll work it through
[15:45] <ikonia> kerik: tehre are two of ubuntus driver packages that will work with your card
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan fresh install.. - enabled the older of the restricted drivers
[15:45] <tiyowan> ikonia: Thanks. :)
[15:46] <klync> Hangwire: are you a member of the group "plugdev"? is that the group that owns /dev/sdb?
[15:46] <Hangwire> klync: how can i check that?
[15:46] <ASULutzy> Hangwire: type groups in a terminal
[15:46] <CntryTousrTrout> tiyowan: can u tell me why my xchat has no options to it? all I have is the chat windows no preference nothing.
[15:46] <Hangwire> ASULutzy: thanks.
[15:46] <tiyowan> Jack_Sparrow: Could you provide a link to a resource? When you installed, initially did you boot to safe mode?
[15:46] <kerik> ikonia, thanks :)
[15:46] <Mallen2008> Looking for help with Emerald Theme Manager, have it installed, but cant apply any themes.
[15:46] <klync> Hangwire: ls -l /dev/sdb ; groups
[15:46] <kitche> CntryTousrTrout: are you using xchat or xchat-gnome two different programs
[15:47] <caeroe> is there anything i can do to improve fullscreen flash video?  8.10 x64, i tried the alpha 10 drivers and the one from synaptic.  connection and pc are both fast enough (i dual boot and it's fine)
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan then sudo nvidia-xconfig
[15:47] <CntryTousrTrout> kitche: how can I tell
[15:47] <saivin> hi is there anybody who uses JWM?
[15:47] <kitche> CntryTousrTrout: by the version number most likely since xchat-gnome is not the same version as normal xchat
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan Didnt use a resource..  It was trial and errors..
[15:47] <Hangwire> klync: well yes, my account "nick" is there
[15:47] <saivin> I have problem with audio and video in JWM...
[15:47] <CntryTousrTrout> kitche: I see nothing about versions. all I c is this chat window
[15:47] <tiyowan> Jack_Sparrow: Did X detect your display properly when it booted first time?
[15:47] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: click help/about
[15:47] <CntryTousrTrout> kitche: no options at all
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan Yes, I had kernel panics and safe mode and all of that until I did it this way
[15:48] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: I dont have a help or about
[15:48] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan not at all..
[15:48] <klync> Hangwire: can you pm me the results of those two commands?
[15:48] <Hangwire> klync: groups and the one you gave me?
[15:48] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan I was stuck in 800x600
[15:48] <Mehdi> Has the new notification system been rolled out in Ubuntu yet?
[15:48] <kitche> CntryTousrTrout: then your using xchat-gnome install xchat if you want xchat
[15:48] <klync> Hangwire: ya
[15:48] <CntryTousrTrout> kitche: did xchat come with gnome? if so can I uninstall it and install the real deal?
[15:49] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: ps aux in a terminal should show which, look for xchat in your menu, use that. not xchat-gnome
[15:49] <tiyowan> Jack_Sparrow: Could you provide some details on which driver you enabled and how? Thanks! I think we could get kerik fixed up with this.
[15:49] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: yes you can install plain old xchat
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan Yes, I know, I worked with him on it yesterday and got nowhere
[15:49] <Hideme> Evolution appears to check my mail, it receives from a few accounts, but none under a specific ISP. Started happening after it lost passwords for no reason, I see the pop connection attempt, no errors.   Does it log, if so where?
[15:49] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: sudo apt-get install remove xchat?
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan Let me pastebin my notes from the other pc
[15:50] <tiyowan> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks a million.
[15:50] <Hangwire> klync: done, sent.
[15:50] <klync> Hangwire: whatever udev rule creates the device, its group is "disk", so add yourself to the disk group and when you login again, you will have write access
[15:50] <Fritten> Hangwire: Cheers, that's the simplest partition program I've ever used
[15:50] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: no don't remove, try dpkg -s xchat  what does it say
[15:50] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: that command brings this line:  6193  1.0  0.8  46556 24320 ?        Sl   10:40   0:05 xchat
[15:50] <Hangwire> Fritten: No problem, glad to see you did what you wanted.
[15:50] <Hangwire> klync: okay, lets see if it will work
[15:51] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: apt-get xchat-common
[15:51] <klync> anyone here using amanda? wondering what uid would be best to use for an ubuntu client... the already existing "backup" user?
[15:51] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: that last command brought up a lot of stuff about xchat not sure what though ok let me apt get the common
[15:52] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: it should be in your apps/internet menu
[15:53] <elementz> what should be the permissions for the tmp folder?
[15:53] <kerik> tiyowan, formatting as we speak...
[15:53] <kerik> tiyowan, installing..
[15:53] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: that did nothing, but what I already had.. xchat-common is already the newest version.
[15:53] <CntryTousrTrout> xchat-common set to manually installed.
[15:53] <Hangwire> klync: System - Administration - Users and groups - There is no group disk
[15:53] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: it was already in my internet list
[15:53] <LTL> elementz: octal format 1777 the 1 is the sticky bit
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan one sec...  pastebin.com/d1e388ecd  installing xchat on that other box atm
[15:54] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: try running that xchat
[15:54] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: I did, same as this one. Im not even sure if it installed a new one it said already had newest

[15:55] <rinsmaster> gizmo, then todiscgui would work fine, google for it
[15:55] <ASULutzy> !ask | dlozarie

[15:56] <Halitech> gizmo, you will need to convert it if you want it to play in a stand alone dvd player

[15:56] <Anirban1987> How to define the login name in useradd syntax ?
[15:56] <CntryTousrTrout> ok that worked, that gave me the menu ect.
[15:56] <mon^rch> omg
[15:56] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: thanks
[15:56] <ASULutzy> Yoyoto: You should just be able to plug it in and go to system -> preferences -> screen resolution
[15:56] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: you're welcome
[15:56] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: I could have disabled it using compiz commands :)
[15:56] <tiyowan> jack-smirnoff: Thanks.
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:57] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: thats a possibility
[15:57] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: now do you know where I can get a script that says my os, and system info for irc xchat?
[15:57] <dlozarie> so I installed XAMPP on Linux with Alien and did chown username -r /opt/lampp so i could copy files there. after that, when i tried to access http://localhost/phpmyadmin I got the error "chown cpanel.cpanel config.inc.php", so how do I give everyone read perms to that file/directory?
[15:57] <Anirban1987> How to define the login name in useradd syntax ?
[15:57] <Yoyoto> ASULutzy is it Shp
[15:57] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: not off hand i don't, try xchat.org if it exists
[15:57] <Mallen> Can anyone help with Emerald, I have it installed need help activating
[15:58] <CntryTousrTrout> ltl: k thx
[15:58] <Hangwire> klync: System - Administration - Users and groups - There is no group disk
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !xampp
[15:58] <ASULutzy> dlozarie: Why did you use alien? Why not just download the tarball and extract it to /opt/lampp, that's the whole point
[15:58] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: not off hand i don't, try http://xchat.org
[15:58] <Halitech> dlozarie, why not just install apache2, php and mysql from the repos?
[15:58] <dlozarie> ASULutzy in retrospect, I should've done that, but looks like Alien worked just as well
[15:58] <Pici> dlozarie: We do not support XAMPP here. Even less so that you've used Alien to install it.  Please use the LAMP stack that is in the repositories.
[15:58] <Pici> !lamp > dlozarie
[15:59] <ASULutzy> Pici: What's wrong with xampp? It's nice and simple
[15:59] <LTL> dlozarie: syntax is chown user:group /path/  -R for recursive
[15:59] <dlozarie> so I should remove XAMPP and install LAMP :-?
[15:59] <Pici> ASULutzy: And completely third party.
[16:00] <ASULutzy> Pici: Well, the question was more a general Linux/Ubuntu help me, than a "please support my xampp install" question ;)
[16:01] <dlozarie> just so I can try it out, can anyone give me the code to enter into the terminal to give me read permissions to the /opt/lampp directory? :D
[16:01] <LTL> CntryTousrTrout: um, /ctcp nick version does most of what you wanted
[16:01] <svat> are there software for recording other than Audacity?

[16:09] <loller> what can cause this
[16:10] <nascentmind> tiyowan, I was getting a crash near the network interface something regarding netlink drivers with a dump of the stack trace.. i am not able to find it in the logs
[16:10] <yoyoto_> Uhhh nope? you mean to irc? nah I come in here everyother day with a linux related question, yesterdays was best, how do I open a file as root XD
[16:10] <loller> somebody ?
[16:10] <ASULutzy> !patience | loller
[16:10] <tiyowan> JuleTecki: Do you know what video card you have?
[16:10]  * yoyoto_ sighs
[16:11] <LTL> yoyoto_: you'll have to let the ghost nick time/ping out. define 'XD'?
[16:11] <JuleTecki> tiyowan: well it's integrated, i will just google
[16:11] <yoyoto_> LTL a laughing face, anyways
[16:11] <LTL> yoyoto_: whats your fave editor
[16:11] <yoyoto_> script editor?
[16:12] <LTL> yoyoto_: whatever you want to use
[16:13] <yoyoto_> Uhmm notepad?!
[16:13] <LTL> yoyoto_: any text editor does scripts, example in a terminal sudo nano /path/to/file  nano should be installed, vi, emacs, gedit are others
[16:13] <tiyowan> JuleTecki: Can you get into safe mode on the machine by pressing F4 at the boot screen?
[16:13] <villadelfia> so does anyone?
[16:14] <JuleTecki> tiyowan: i can get into the machine by pressing ctrl+alt+del,
[16:14] <JuleTecki> then the boot continues
[16:14] <tiyowan> JuleTecki: And you can get into the GUI from there?
[16:15] <JuleTecki> tiyowan: well its 8.10 server, soo "gui"
[16:15] <tim167> how do i get a computer to connect automatically to a wireless connection when it starts ?
[16:15] <yoyoto_> ok LTL I opened the file in nano
[16:15] <tiyowan> JuleTecki: Hehehe. Ah. I don't know about that. :)
[16:15] <JuleTecki> tiyowan: well its then same?
[16:16] <abchirk> hm is it easy to deinstall pulse and use another soundserver?
[16:16] <ASULutzy> yoyoto_: I think you should restate what your actual problem is
[16:16] <nDevastator> abchirk yes
[16:16] <nDevastator> abchirk mine needed no addition work after the uninstall
[16:16] <yoyoto_> I got the projector working, however VLC will not play the video on the projector, maybe it doesn't like the pink panther?
[16:16] <tiyowan> JuleTecki: No idea, mate. Keep asking. Someone else here may be able to help you out.
[16:17] <abchirk> nDevastator and which soundserver do you used then?
[16:17] <nDevastator> abchirk, ALSA
[16:17] <carpii> ims etting up ubuntu server and its asking me if i want to install OpenSSH server.  Do I need this in order to ssh into the server or is it something else?
[16:17] <Yoyoto> Oh hey my ghost died
[16:17] <abchirk> as server? and alsa can do oss mixing with teamspeak and else?
[16:17] <Halitech> carpediem1, yes
[16:17] <carpii> ok thanks
[16:17] <ASULutzy> yoyoto_: What do you mean by "vlc will not play the video on the projector" what are you doing to try and get it to play on the projector
[16:18] <nDevastator> abchirk, i assume so i have had no problems with it since
[16:18] <Yoyoto> ASULutzy I open the video in VLC and fullscreen it, the projector is on mirrored
[16:18] <abchirk> nDevastator and u are using teamspeak?
[16:19] <Halitech> Yoyoto, do you see anything prior to trying to play the video?
[16:19] <ultimate> sup
[16:19] <Yoyoto> Halitech, I see the video but I don't, it's everything but the actual video, all the play buttons etc.
[16:19] <LTL> carpii: ssh client/server is a must have imho, apt-get install openssh-server it installs client and should run on boot if not immediately
[16:20] <villadelfia> how do you create a shell buffer in emacs lisp?
[16:20] <Halitech> Yoyoto, is it a dvd you are trying to play or a video on your computer?
[16:20] <ultimate> ?
[16:20] <Yoyoto> Halitech, Video on my computer .avi
[16:20] <Yoyoto> Halitech, I see it on my laptop
[16:21] <gleesond_lappy> is there a channel for using ubuntu on an eee pc? I'm having trouble mounting sd cards says something about  invalid volume. I just want to mount the sd card that is in my camera to get the photos off of it
[16:22] <kitche> gleesond_lappy: most likely the eeeubuntu channel since ubuntu doesn't have an official eee distro
[16:22] <Halitech> Yoyoto, maybe its a resolution issue, do you have another video you can try?
[16:22] <Yoyoto> Yeah, I tried 3 videos, youtube works...
[16:22] <Halitech> Yoyoto, maybe try another player
[16:23] <gleesond_lappy> yeah I have regular ubuntu on this thing but I guess I could check out that channel
[16:23] <Yoyoto> I tried 3 players
[16:23] <Yoyoto> Amarok, VLC, and mp or something
[16:23] <Yoyoto> and amarok just did sound LOL
[16:23] <Halitech> Yoyoto, maybe try gxine or xine
[16:23] <gleesond_lappy> maybe the issue is not eee specific
[16:23] <gleesond_lappy> I just want to mount this sd card
[16:24] <ASULutzy> Yoyoto: "Amarok: The audio player for KDE"
[16:24] <techsuperfreak> lappy: what command are you using to mount?
[16:24] <Halitech> gleesond_lappy, whats the output of sudo fdisk -l ?
[16:24] <Halitech> gleesond_lappy, use pastebin to show us
[16:25] <\\`oot> MOrning everyone
[16:25] <alsetcoil> Good morning
[16:25] <gleesond_lappy> techsuperfreak,  I haven't tried a command yet... just the auto mount is failing when I stick the card in
[16:25] <\\`oot> anyone else catch the 007 Marathon on @ Spike TV?
[16:25] <techsuperfreak> lappy:  have you check the dmesg output?
[16:25] <kitche> !offtopic | \\`oot
[16:25] <bazhang> \\`oot, offtopic; please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:25] <gleesond_lappy> what would an sd card show up as in /dev
[16:26] <Halitech> gleesond_lappy, probably /dev/sdX
[16:26] <Halitech> gleesond_lappy, X being a number
[16:26] <\\`oot> Is there some sort of weird bug in the file-browser in 8.10?  The first time I try to open a link (samba share, NTFS mount) from the file browser it throws an error, but then the 2nd time (and after) opens the location just fine
[16:26] <alsetcoil> I was wondering, "How do I transfer files easily between three networked Ubuntu 8.10 computers?"
[16:26] <Halitech> alsetcoil, NFS
[16:26] <alsetcoil> I have enabled sharing on the folders I want to accesss
[16:26] <dr_willis> alsetcoil: ssh, scp, sshfs
[16:26] <alsetcoil> ty
[16:27] <Yoyoto> Halitech, Gxine won't work...
[16:27] <keke> moi
[16:27] <dr_willis> alsetcoil:  no need for samba - on linux to linux machines
[16:27] <gleesond_lappy> sweet it worked
[16:27] <Halitech> Yoyoto, what do you mean it won't work?
[16:27] <gleesond_lappy> thanks guys
[16:27] <Yoyoto> Halitech, same damn problem
[16:27] <Yoyoto> god hates me
[16:28] <nDevastator> ok if i want to make a symlink inside /var/www/ i would do ln -s /therealfolder /thesym
[16:28] <alsetcoil> Dr_Willis: When I go to the network area I do not see the shared folders on any machine
[16:28] <nDevastator> i mean ln -s /therealfolder /var/www/thesym
[16:28] <Sorin39> Romania
[16:28] <nascentmind> When i press the fn+keys(for brightness) my keyboard stops responding in X but works perfectly in the console. How can i fix it?
[16:28] <gnusiva> hi
[16:28] <klync> nDevastator: yes... no need for the 2nd arg if you want the same name... *but*...
[16:28] <ASULutzy> nDevastator: that's right
[16:29] <klync> nDevastator: also, make sure you've allowed apache to follow symlinks, assuming that's what you want
[16:29] <VSpike> What's the best scheme for dual booting 7.10 and 8.04? I have two separate partitions, but how should I set up grub?
[16:29] <nDevastator> tyvm
[16:29] <dr_willis> alsetcoil:   for a linux to linux setup you dont need to use the shares that way. check out scp, or sshfs for easier file transfers
[16:29] <klync> nDevastator: oh, omit the 2nd arg assuming your PWD is where you want the target, that is
[16:29] <nDevastator> VSpike, you would just want to make sure to have a selection for all options in your grub... im not sure if there is a "best scheme" per se
[16:30] <DrHalan> hey i have compiz running on intrepid and every animation of the animation plugin works except the minimize one
[16:30] <DrHalan> what am i doing wron?
[16:30] <VSpike> alsetcoil: not sure if this is relevant but http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/12/19/simple-desktop-file-sharing-with-giver/
[16:30] <VSpike> nDevastator: so create the menu entries manually?
[16:31] <nDevastator> VSpike, yes you can edit your grub @ sudo gedit /boot/grub/menus.lst
[16:31] <sloadface> sup
[16:31] <bazhang> !gskudo
[16:31] <bazhang> oops
[16:31] <alsetcoil> VSpike: thank you I think this will work
[16:31] <bazhang> use gksudo with gui apps nDevastator
[16:32] <nDevastator> oh
[16:32] <somethingorigina> I'm attempting data recovery of an XP system on Raid0. I have installed the alt version of the latest Ubuntu on a seperate HD after the liveCD was unable to let me interact with the RAID. However i cannot get that OS to boot. It gets no further than a black screen with a white flashing cursor in the top left.
[16:32] <nDevastator> VSpike, im sorry it would be sudo nano /boot/grub/menus.lst
[16:32] <VSpike> nDevastator: both will create menu.lst files in their own /boot/grub/ with their own kernels automagically added... but can I have a single menu that is automatically maintained? Or should I chain the second from the first
[16:32] <sloadface> elo
[16:33] <alfatau> hello, i'm looking for a reliable way to detect a dialup connection active. when traffic is high, ping sometimes produces "unknown host" results. i tried pinging both with tos at 0x04 and 0x20 and 0x24, but the trouble rests. I also tried adding some timeout/deadline waiting time, the trouble is less frequent, but rests. isn't there a way to bypass the traffic congestion and give max priority to ic
[16:33] <alfatau> mp packages? thanks
[16:33] <fasta> How can I configure Thunderbird so that I won't get a popup for new messages in some local folder named foo?
[16:33] <nDevastator> VSpike, honestly i typically make a seperate boot partition... you might need to refer to someone else in this situation
[16:33] <VSpike> nDevastator: and how do you stop them both stomping on each other all the time?
[16:33] <VSpike> nDevastator: actually, they are both sharing a separate boot partition at the moment :)
[16:33] <koro> Hi, i'm having trouble with medibutu packages not showing up in synaptic
[16:34] <themohd> HI ALL
[16:34] <VSpike> nDevastator: I was just wondering what the canonical way is.. after all, if you have windows, ubuntu will create a menu entry for it automatically ... so would it not make sense that it would handle additional ubuntu installs somehow?
[16:34] <koro> the repositories work just fine from apt-get, and even from synaptic if i go manually to medibuntu packages i see all packages (e.g. acroread,etc) but if i do a search for "acroread" from synaptic it doesn't show anything
[16:34] <LTL> koro: intrepid disables medibuntu, if that applies to you.
[16:34] <nabsha> Hi, anyone having experience with google earth on ubuntu, it runs slow on my dell inspiron 6400!!!
[16:34] <nDevastator> VSpike, it would seem like that would be the case
[16:35] <kane77> E
[16:35] <nDevastator> VSpike, must admit im by far no guru
[16:35] <themohd> can anybody tell me what is the default pass for root on xubuntu???
[16:35] <kane77> themohd, there is no default password
[16:35] <bazhang> themohd, there isnt one
[16:35] <VSpike> nDevastator: And I think in a vanilla install it does somehow, but I'm not sure how to get back to that position from the slightly odd custom setup I have :)
[16:35] <dr_willis> !root
[16:35] <themohd> how do i set it?
[16:35] <bazhang> themohd, use sudo
[16:35] <themohd> ok , thanks
[16:35] <backgen> hey guys my amsn doesnt seem to be working i think i need to download an update or something but when i click to download it gives me a firefox error
[16:36] <nDevastator> VSpike, when you say they are sharing a boot partition what boot loader is on that partition
[16:36] <backgen> anyone know how to update with Terminal?
[16:36] <dr_willis> learn to use sudo  - no need for a root password
[16:36] <koro> LTL: yes, i'm on intrepid, but what do you mean by "diasble"?
[16:36] <ASULutzy> backgen: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:36] <kane77> themohd, you can set it with sudo passwd
[16:36] <VSpike> nDevastator: grub - with a manually maintained menu.lst
[16:36] <Halitech> backgen, sudo apt-get update
[16:36] <koro> it works just fine, except that it doesn't show stuff from there in the search results
[16:36] <backgen> thats it? no sudo apt-get upgrade amsn?
[16:36] <lianimator> what software can create UML diagrams?
[16:36] <koro> is there a way to re-enable it_
[16:36] <LTL> koro: read/check  the /etc/apt/sources.list the '#' sign disables the entire line/repo
[16:36] <themohd> ok thanks all of you, and good luck
[16:36] <backgen> i mean i dont need to put amsn in there?
[16:36] <VSpike> nDevastator: I disabled the automatic generation of menu items because they both kept nuking each other
[16:36] <ubuntu_> Does anyone know how to pass a right-click to the current program running in a gnome-terminal?
[16:36] <nDevastator> VSpike, okay so do this... whichever ubuntu you installed last... edit that grub to have all necessary options
[16:36] <themohd> bye
[16:37] <VSpike> nDevastator: but when the other one has a kernel update it will overwrite the mbr
[16:37] <somethingorigina> I'm attempting data recovery of an XP system on Raid0. I have installed the alt version of the latest Ubuntu on a seperate HD after the liveCD was unable to let me interact with the RAID. However i cannot get that OS to boot. It gets no further than a black screen with a white flashing cursor in the top left. I'm thinking MBR problem but that's outside my experience to solve
[16:37] <Halitech> backgen, sudo apt-get update first then sudo apt-get install amsn
[16:37] <dimebar> lianimator: umbrello, dia.
[16:37] <koro> LTL: yeah, it's not there, not even commented out
[16:38] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Hi mate. :)
[16:38] <koro> but how does apt-get figure it out then_
[16:38] <backgen> Halitech: ok thanks!
[16:38] <lianimator> dimebar: thanks
[16:38] <koro> }and why does it show the packages if i search for them manually
[16:38] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: howdy :-)
[16:38] <VSpike> nDevastator: I've done it with arch and ubuntu on another system by getting arch to install grub on the partition instead of the mbr and then chaining the second grub from the main ubuntu one that lives in the mbr and ubuntu partition
[16:38] <kane77> lianimator, umbrello, dia, argouml,  and netbeans have also plugin for uml
[16:38] <Halitech> backgen, chances are though you probably already have the latest from the repo
[16:38] <lianimator> kane77: I have netbeans. gotta try that.
[16:39] <nDevastator> VSpike, yes thats what i was saying to do by editting the last installed ubuntu
[16:39] <brainac0cult> hullo
[16:39] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina: So you get to see your grub menu but when you try to boot it fails?
[16:39] <LTL> koro: you need to add it manually if you want it, and its gpg key, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[16:39] <gnusiva> how to install j2se in ubuntu
[16:39] <nDevastator> VSpike edit the grub on that ubuntu partition instead of the MBR
[16:39] <koro> LTL: in synaptic, under "third party repos" i have medibuntu marked, and i already added its gpg key and
[16:39] <brainac0cult> at least theres ppl on this channel
[16:40] <backgen> Halitech: k well i just did all the commands you told me...it wasn;'t working so i typed in sudo apt-get upgrade amsn and now it's downloading and installing a bunch of stuff
[16:40] <brainac0cult> #ubuntu
[16:40] <backgen> Halitech: i love Terminal :D
[16:40] <kane77> gnusiva, the jre or jdk?
[16:40] <koro> LTL: as i meantioned, i t works fine, particularly from apt-get, but *in synaptic* it doesnt include the packages from medibuntu in search results
[16:40] <somethingorigina> ASULutzy: No not quite that far. It's not a screen that i can interact with. Any key press just elicits a click from the tower
[16:40] <Sentinel83> @ backgen: if you use the upgrade command after apt-get it will upgrade the already installed package of amsn.  You had it installed already correct?
[16:40] <Halitech> backgen, only way to work :)
[16:41] <LTL> koro: does a reload in synaptic show its packages?
[16:41] <backgen> Sentinel83: yup
[16:41] <Sentinel83> k
[16:41] <koro> everything else works fine, it *does* read the medibuntu repository and shows it if i manually look for packages in synaptic
[16:41] <LTL> koro: i'm pretty sure it needs to be in sources.list regardless
[16:42] <koro> LTL: okay, but i ahven found instructions on howhat to add to that file
[16:42] <backgen> hey guys, i want to upgrade my linux from gibbon to hardy...but i'm scared its going to erase everything i've got on here
[16:42] <KST_> Hello Arin

[16:42] <Arin> Hi
[16:42] <techsuperfreak> koro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[16:42] <Arin> ..ÇÏ¿ÍÀÌ¾ß?
[16:42] <techsuperfreak> there is a link to adding the repos
[16:43] <KST_> That has an error in your result.
[16:43] <koro> techsuperfreak: i did that already, and thatś why it works with apt'get and with synaptic (*except for the search results*)
[16:43] <bazhang> !give me a test
[16:43] <Halitech> backgen, backup everything first, it should go fine but things do happen
[16:43] <bazhang> hi Arin
[16:43] <bazhang> hi KST_
[16:43] <backgen> Halitech: k thanks!
[16:44] <Sylphid|work> I moved the /boot partition on my hard drive and grub is unable to locate the boot images  or its confignow.... how can i change the location that grub looks for its config in the MBR
[16:44] <backgen> Halitech: can i upgrade it via Terminal or do i need boot cd?
[16:44] <Arin> Hi ¤·¤±¤·/
[16:44] <bazhang> !english | Arin
[16:44] <booksbuggy> anyone know how to make a authentication key for a software source?
[16:44] <Arin> a..
[16:44] <KST_> You only can talk to with english here.
[16:45] <mooky> hi
[16:45] <koro> LTL: what i see is the medibuntu repositories in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list}
[16:45] <Halitech> backgen, you can do it either way but with the cd you will need the alt cd, not the live cd
[16:45] <Guest86155> hi
[16:45] <koro> should i just put the contents of that file in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[16:45] <Halitech> backgen, the benefit of using the cd is you can use it to reinstall if things go haywire on you
[16:45] <Arin> !english | Arin
[16:45] <Arin> ³×..
[16:46] <techsuperfreak> koro:  worth a shot

[16:56] <koro> LTL: i did it again, it did just the same. I repeat: the repositories are there, they work, i can see all the packages going to origin->all->packages.medibuntu.org/non-free in synaptic. BUT if i search for a particular package (e.g. "acroread") it shows no results at all.
[16:56] <jonjoe> ccsm cube uses the same desktop over and over again to form a cube i wanan have individual desktops which i can put different icons in and different backgrounds does anyone know how to do this?
[16:57] <Jack_Sparrow> ragu_pattabi it should allow you to get the source yes

[16:59] <magenNET> whats wrong with the www.ubuntu.com, i have been trying to access it since yesterday, but still i cant open it ?
[16:59] <tiyowan> magenNET: Working fine.
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> conb123 Use a live cd..At start or install press F6 add all_generic_ide before the "--"
[17:00] <techsuperfreak> no probs here either
[17:00] <somethingorigina> I have installed Ubuntu on a seperate HD to my Raid0 XP installation which no longer boots. The new ubuntu installation will not boot. I have tried a reinstall of Ubuntu but the same problem continues. Blackscreen with white cursor in top left.
[17:00] <tim167> System>Preferences>Sessions does not work here, how can i add a startup program now ? thanks
[17:00] <conb123> ok Jack ill see if that works thanks
[17:01] <tiyowan> somethingorigina: Are you trying to install Ubuntu per se, or is your primary objective to recover your data saved under Windows?
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> conb123 There are several options, but that may work for you
[17:01] <Ad_> magenNET, nothing , now  i am in ubuntu.com
[17:01] <somethingorigina> My problem lies with installing Ubuntu hence my presence here
[17:02] <magenNET>  Ad_: tiyowan:  ok. well i can open it from my cell phone too , but whats wrong with my desktop PC ?? i can access google,yahoo,etc
[17:02] <ikonia> Ad_: can you please stop with the offtopic chatter please
[17:02] <tiyowan> magenNET: Can you browse other sites on your desktop PC? What error msg do you get when trying access the ubuntu site?
[17:03] <Ad_> ok, but i think he have  aproblem with IE
[17:03] <Ad_> magenNET, wat is ur browser
[17:04] <magenNET> tiyowan:  Ad_: i dont get any error but the status says connecting to www.ubuntu.com , i use firefox , ubuntu 8.04
[17:04] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina: I'm sorry I must have missed your reply earlier, at what point does it stop booting? Are you at least able to see your grub menu?
[17:04] <Ad_> try disconnect the internet and reconnect a gain
[17:05] <jonjoe> does anyone know how to get individual desktops on ccsm?
[17:05] <tiyowan> magenNET: As I wrote earlier, the ubuntu site is up. Maybe your DNS server is on the blink or something.
[17:05] <somethingorigina> ASULutzy: It stops after checking all the Hardware bios etc
[17:05] <bazhang> jonjoe, yes
[17:05] <Mallen> Looking for help with Emerald Theme Manager, PM plz!
[17:06] <jonjoe> bazbang, how
[17:06] <bazhang> jonjoe, in #compiz-fusion
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> jonjoe Please go to #compiz
[17:07] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina: So it posts but you never actually see the grub menu? Weird, have you tried starting it up without the faulty raid-0 drives?
[17:07] <Ad_> jonjoe, he ment go and join  the #compiz-fusion
[17:07] <qcjn> i've missed electricity last night, now i ve got a hd making lost of noise. wan't to chec it from another computer. I've got an ext wire adaptor. It s plugged but ubuntu doesn t see it, or mount it automaticly. How to ?
[17:07] <ikonia> somethingorigina are you trying to install ubuntu onto the raid 0 devices ?
[17:07] <coccolone> ITALIANO????
[17:07] <ikonia> !it
[17:08] <bazhang> coccolone, /j #ubuntu-it
[17:08] <coccolone> grazie!
[17:08] <Setebos> I am not under Users and Groups for some reason. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have a home directory and applications recognize me as a user but the users and groups admin tool does not have me and the login screen does not display me.
[17:08] <ASULutzy> qcjn: If you plug it in and typing sudo fdisk -l doesn't show it, then... I dunno, the drive exploded ;)
[17:08] <vandrar> some swed chanel , n how do i connect?
[17:08] <somethingorigina> ASULutzy: Nope, i have a handful of essential files to rescue. So disabling or unplugging the Raid is a nogo
[17:08] <jonjoe> ad, on the channel list?
[17:08] <ikonia> somethingorigina: the windows raid partition will NOT be mountable
[17:09] <jpjacobs> vandrar, /j #channel
[17:09] <ikonia> somethingorigina: I'm sure I mentioned this to you
[17:09] <vandrar> ait, tkx
[17:09] <Ad_> jonjoe,yes
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> jonjoe type only this on a new line    /j #compiz
[17:09] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina: er, right, but you ought to narrow down the problem, and Ikonia is probably right... If they're that essential, data recovery specialist time... Not to poke fun, but raid-0 + essential files == a bad idea
[17:09] <pdroy80> Setebos: which user and group do you mean ?
[17:09] <vandrar> #synhare
[17:09] <vandrar> äh
[17:10] <ASULutzy> ikonia: Would they still not be mountable if it were a hardware RAID?
[17:10] <ikonia> fake raid 0 meta devices created in windows won't be mounting under ubuntu
[17:10] <Setebos> Sytem -> administration -> users and groups. The one thats installed by default.
[17:10] <vandrar> how do i connect to another chanel?
[17:10] <jaw> Has anyone in the channel been able to get exchange working with Evolution? My buddy across the room has the same configurations connecting to the same Exchange server, but I can't. It setups up fine and then asks for a password repeatedly.  It sometimes also says that Exchange is offline.
[17:10] <ikonia> ASULutzy: they are not hardware from what he said
[17:10] <ikonia> vandrar: you've been told 3 times, this isn ot ubuntu related
[17:10] <jaw> another channel?
[17:10] <jaw> that is IRC help
[17:10] <vandrar> so fuckin sorry then, fuck u bitch!!!
[17:11] <pdroy80> Setebos: if you open a terminal -> Applications -> Accessories - > Terminal and type "id"
[17:11] <qcjn> ASULutzy: it doesn't see it..Ok thanks
[17:11] <pdroy80> you will see what all user and groups the user belongs to
[17:11] <qcjn> i ll change it
[17:11] <Fret18> hey
[17:11] <jaw> <-- discovered that installing VLC and Firefox media stream plugin allows you to listen to Sirius stream...
[17:11] <lianimator> what diagram software can draw Component Diagrams? can't seem to find the symbol in dia
[17:11] <Fret18> can someone help me with nVidia card?
[17:11] <jaw> let me know if you want details.. very sweet
[17:11] <Fret18> ubuntu isn't recognizing it
[17:12] <Error121> hi, im having some trouble with my sound and was curious if someone could help me out
[17:12] <tiyowan> Fret18: What card are you using? And what visual problems are you experiencing?
[17:12] <jaw> lianimator... Office draw might work...?
[17:12] <Setebos> pdroy80: http://pastebin.com/m7050f395
[17:12] <ASULutzy> ikonia: Ah, I missed that, somethingorigina if it's a software RAID, Ubuntu won't be any help... If you have essential files stored on a RAID-0 that's just a bad idea. Use 1 or 0+1 or something... As far as recovering your files, if they're that valuable you'll probably need a data recovery specialist or something
[17:12] <Azazel-AZ> is someone willing to email me the /etc/samba folder?  I accidently killed it
[17:13] <Fret18> tiyowan: I'm using XFX 5200 and, after a blackout, I turned computer on and ubuntu couldn't identify my graphics card.
[17:13] <jaw> You need to fidn the chipset for the card first
[17:13] <unop> Azazel-AZ,  sudo aptitude reinstall samba samba-common
[17:13] <Ad_> Azazel-AZ,reinstall samba
[17:13] <pdroy80> Setebos: that looks good enough, though you are not there in the admin group so you might not be able to do "sudo" commands
[17:14] <Azazel-AZ> thanks.  I tried samba and smbfs I forgot common
[17:14] <somethingorigina> Ah well, you try to keep everything backed up and then suddenly god notices you and it all goes downhill
[17:14] <jaw> You can also use Synaptic in the GUI ti reinstall samba
[17:14] <tiyowan> Fret18: Does your card show up in lspci?
[17:14] <Setebos> pdroy80: I can do sudo commands. Everything works fine except I can't edit myself with that tool or appear on the login window.
[17:14] <Error121> my sound was working fine a couple days ago, then yesterday it stopped and says my /dev/dsp is busy.
[17:14] <Fret18> tiyowan: I'll check, just a minute.
[17:14] <somethingorigina> Hence why it's only a handful of essential files rather than Oh god my life is ruined
[17:15] <Setebos> pdroy80: I can edit my settings through the terminal I just want to know why I am invisable to these tools.
[17:15] <Fret18> tiyowan: No, it doesn't show up.
[17:15] <Azazel-AZ> Thanks again, I'm doing a complete purge and reinstall
[17:15] <tiyowan> somethingorigina: A bit off-topic. But how much data did you lose?
[17:15] <pdroy80> Setebos: hmm how did you add the user ? during installation or after that ?
[17:15] <Error121> i cant figure out how to tell whats tying up my /dev/dsp, anyone know?
[17:15] <tiyowan> Fret18: I don't think that's a very good sign.
[17:16] <erUSUL> Error121: sudo lsof /dev/dsp
[17:16] <Fret18> tiyowan: It worked for a little time when I reset xorg, but then it screw up again.
[17:16] <ASULutzy> Error121: Does dmesg say anything funny when you try to play stuff? I would try sudo alsa force-reload sudo lsof /dev/dsp
[17:16] <onetinsoldier> Error121: you might try using the lsof command...  man lsof
[17:16] <WolfBslapper> Please fix these problems and many upstreams will be happy! http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/misc/Intrepid_Ibex_errors.txt
[17:16] <Setebos> pdroy80: Before actually. I had the user and home directory already when I installed ubuntu and just went on using it from there. I had originally created it during instalation when I had ubuntu before that.
[17:16] <somethingorigina> approx 1gig worth of pictures textfiles and models. I had to clear space off a USB stick and neglected to realize until this happened
[17:16] <tiyowan> Fret18: Personally, I'd open up the box, yank out the card and test it in a spare PC.
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> WolfBslapper Please just ask a question, not just post a link
[17:17] <erUSUL> somethingorigina: use photorec
[17:17] <Fret18> tiyowan: I installed Ubuntu through Wubi, so I tested the card in Windows and it works normally.
[17:17] <ASULutzy> somethingorigina, tiyowan: Again, this is a software RAID, there's nothing to yank out and try somewhere else, if the software raid is hosed, gl
[17:17] <WolfBslapper> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu is broken in many places, please fix it already!
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> WolfBslapper PLease stop
[17:17] <WolfBslapper> ?
[17:17] <bazhang> WolfBslapper, wrong channel
[17:18] <pdroy80> Setebos: could be that some of the user specific files did not get copied, during installation, just a wild guess
[17:18] <bazhang> oops
[17:18] <Setebos> pdroy80: I have my home directories installed in a seperate partitions for when I decide to distro hop.
[17:18] <tiyowan> ASULutzy: I was referring to Fret18's graphics card, not the RAID array. :D
[17:18] <Error121> yeah, i tried sudo lsof |grep /dev/snd i got from the support site
[17:18] <Setebos> pdroy80: Is there a way to fix this?
[17:18] <ASULutzy> tiyowan: Oh my mistake :X
[17:18] <conb123> Jack_Sparrow: That command you gave me didn't work heres the error i get http://i43.tinypic.com/14uxaf4.jpg
[17:18] <Error121> all thats there is esd a d mixer_app
[17:18] <law_> ..
[17:19] <pdroy80> Setebos: I had did a fix for one of ma friends, trying to figure what I had actually done
[17:19] <Setebos> pdroy80: If I delete the user and then recreate it with the same directory would I still have all my files?
[17:19] <lw0x15_> man
[17:19] <lw0x15_> i love fluxbuntu
[17:19] <lw0x15_> :]
[17:19] <tiyowan> Fret18: Perhaps some linux file got corrupted in the blackout?
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> conb123 you didnt try to install to ntfs or something did you?
[17:19] <Fret18> tiyowan: Possibly. How could I fix it?
[17:19] <bazhang> come discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic lw0x15_
[17:20] <pdroy80> Setebos: thats risky it is based on what command you do to delete the user
[17:20] <conb123> sorry no i just clicked on my ext3 partition that has linux on it and i got that error
[17:20] <pdroy80> man userdel
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> conb123 did it pas a fsck?
[17:20] <jahjah> is there anybody come from indonesia??
[17:20] <onetinsoldier> Error121: roger.  esd could possibly be causing a problem
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck > conb123
[17:20] <pdroy80> Setebos: dont use -r, that would delete the home directory also
[17:20] <bazhang> #ubuntu-id jahjah
[17:20] <conb123> Im sorry im not really that experienced with linux im not sure what that means
[17:21] <magenNET> lw0x15_:  fluxbuntu???
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> conb123 please read that factoid from ubottu
[17:21] <Setebos> Okay I will try it. Thanks
[17:21] <topsub> i have a vmware 2.0 setup with a guest. i need to mount a harddrive to that guest for backuppc. does anyone have docs i can use to do this?
[17:21] <lw0x15_> magenNET: yeppers
[17:21] <Error121> how can i tell if esd is causing the problem?
[17:21] <tiyowan> Fret18: I'd trying reinstalling Ubuntu really.
[17:21] <conb123> should i run that command that it says sudo shutdown -F -r now
[17:22] <magenNET> lw0x15_: i heard it for the 1st time, whats new in it?
[17:22] <Fret18> tiyowan: Dang... OK, thanks for the help. :)
[17:22] <jahjah> disini ada orang pribumi???
[17:22] <ASULutzy> conb123: do sudo touch /forcefsck
[17:22] <pdroy80> topsub: what hard disk is this ?
[17:22] <lw0x15_> magenNET: http://fluxbuntu.org/
[17:22] <tiyowan> Fret18: No worries, mate. Also, get a good UPS if you suffer from frequent power outages.
[17:22] <onetinsoldier> Error121: i'm not sure. perhaps you should see if your /dev/dsp works if you remove the esd package
[17:22] <conb123> ok i run that command now what it didn;t return anything
[17:23] <Fret18> tiyowan: Fortunately, it's not frequent. Thanks again.
[17:23] <magenNET>  lw0x15_: i am on it already...:) .... but whats the difference ?
[17:23] <Guest1089> hi
[17:23] <Guest1089> hi
[17:23] <brainac0cult> how do I send files i  pidgin
[17:23] <Guest1089> :-D
[17:23] <unop> brainac0cult, drag and drop?
[17:23] <ASULutzy> conb123: Now next time you reboot, fsck will be run on the root partition
[17:23] <onetinsoldier> Error121: or might be possible to just shut esd down rather than removing it
[17:24] <quatar-it> hi all!
[17:24] <quatar-it> can you tell me how to remove a print request done via samba?
[17:24] <magenNET>  lw0x15_: seems like an apple os clone ?
[17:24] <brainac0cult> no
[17:24] <Guest1089> why
[17:24] <tim167> anyone using vncviewer ? how do i set -nocursorshape to 'false' ?
[17:24] <conb123> ok but im using a live cd because my existing ubuntu installation will not work will it still run
[17:24] <bazhang> magenNET, lw0x15_ please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:24] <ruadh> I have MySQL Server 4.1 installed on this machine, but am unable to start it. Can any one help?
[17:24] <topsub> pdroy80 what do you mean? i need to mount a harddrive to the server and have my guest ubuntu install from vmware 2.0 read that hard drive
[17:24] <stefo85> hi, how can i insert images in a conversation with pidgin 2.5? Now the option is disabled
[17:24] <magenNET> bazhang: ok sorry
[17:25] <kerik> tiyowan, hey mate
[17:25] <mojo> hi everyone
[17:25] <pdroy80> topsub: if it is an external usb disk all you have to do is connect it and in the console select the USB disk and gets connected to the guest
[17:25] <conb123> ASULutzy: Will it still run it from the live cd because i am having to use that at the moment
[17:26] <topsub> no this is a hard drive 500 gb i want to mount to the desktop
[17:26] <mojo> my pc suddenly has no sound output, can some1 suggest me a best way to troubleshoot this?
[17:26] <ASULutzy> ruadh: What is the output of sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[17:26] <nebopolis> I' having a rather odd problem with an older Powerbook that I just installed ubuntu on. I was able to install ubuntu with no problems, but once I booted it X had a "painterly" effect (jittering blocks of the screen moving back and forth, up and down making it impossible to read text.) A low-res screenshot can be found here: http://orangutanpotato.com/images/1223081100c.jpg.  The graphics card is a Ati rage mobility M3 agp 2x
[17:26] <nebopolis>  according to the xorg.conf, and it is using the "ati" driver. I tried changing the driver to vesa or vga, but that did not solve the problem. Graphics work fine in text mode, so I am suspecting a xorg configuration problem.
[17:26] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, hey there
[17:26] <topsub> pdroy80, ya this is just a hard drive i want to mount to the desktop and have the guest able to use it
[17:26] <ruadh> ASULutzy: I'll try that, thanks
[17:27] <ASULutzy> conb123: Oh, if you're on the livecd, just run fsck from there. Do sudo fdisk -l to find the partition that Ubuntu is installed on, and then do sudo fsck /dev/thatpartition
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik Hey
[17:27] <ASULutzy> conb123: You should also do sudo umount /dev/thatpartition before you fsck just to make sure it's not mounted
[17:27] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, I have successfully reinstalled ubuntu
[17:27] <conb123> ok sudo fdisk -l just returns unable to read /dev/sda
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik at 800x600 now?
[17:27] <rpattabi> QUESTION: I enabled sources checkbox in synaptic. Updated the package info. Still I don't see source code packages. E.g. I want to download and install inkscape source version. Any idea?
[17:28] <somethingorigina> Me again after reading an interesting forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833653 So i CAN gain access to my fakeraid... if i can get Ubuntu to work but i can't get ubuntu to work without disconnecting my fakeraid... or is it probably just an MBR problem that i need to fix?
[17:28] <ASULutzy> conb123: Er, it doesn't have any partitions? like /dev/sda1 etc
[17:28] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, at 1280x800 ;)
[17:28] <pdroy80> topsub: yup then just connect to usb and then in the vmware console you can see it showing the USB disk, select the disk and wil be available to the guest
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kerik cool
[17:28] <kerik> Jack_Sparrow, but without the correct driver as far as I know..
[17:28] <conb123> ASULutzy: Yes i have windows on /dev
[17:28] <conb123> whoops
