[20:35] <Frantic> carpeliam|pidgin: btw that goes in /boot/grub/menu.lst but you have to change the partition :)
[20:35] <_VIM_> jp_sf: that firefox trick seems to be helping thanks :)  if i put it more than 8 would it be even better?
[20:35] <G-Bleezy> carpeliam|pidgin: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:35] <blizzle> Oni: The advantages are three fold. One, Ubuntu is highly focussed on the desktop user. 2) Ubuntu has a healthy community. 3) Ubuntu will always be free. Oh, and 4) Ubuntu release predictably every 6 months. (And you can easily upgrade versions).
[20:35] <carpeliam|pidgin> Frantic: yep, the part i'm getting stuck on is (hd0,0). windows is on /dev/sdb5, how do i know which that goes on?
[20:36] <racecar56> dang gotta restart
[20:36] <figueiredo> ubuntu is great system
[20:36] <Frantic> carpeliam|pidgin: I'm not sure, I hope someone else can help you on this one, my best guess would be 1,5 :)
[20:36] <stefg> sahak: that can be done in ubuntu, too... it's not just that easy and requires manual setup. It would be easier to use a 4 Gig usb drive instaed of a loop file... just make some custom entries in grubs menu.lst and boot the kernel and initrd off the usb drive
[20:36] <jp_sf> _VIM_: with the speed of your connection I would say yes it is supposed to make multiple request and not waiting, the problem is that sometimes some http webserver don't support it, but I'm running fine since a few months
[20:36] <G-Bleezy> carpeliam|pidgin: what is the output when you type:  fdisk -l
[20:36] <G-Bleezy> thats a little 'L' not a 1 :)
[20:37] <SB6789> hi all.  completely new to this and i could use some help if there are any takers?
[20:37] <G-Bleezy> SB6789: google ftw :)
[20:37] <_VIM_> jp_sf: ok i'll keep raising it slowly and see if it help or makes things worse
[20:37] <jp_sf> !ask | SB6789
[20:37] <sahak> stefg: ok, thanks.
[20:37] <carpeliam|pidgin> G-Bleezy: http://pastie.org/384302 /dev/sdb5 is the windows partition
[20:38] <jp_sf> _VIM_ mine is set to 12
[20:38] <racecar56> ok i have an external cd drive for my server but how do i install ubuntu on it??
[20:38] <racecar56> i have a ubuntu server 8.10 disk
[20:38] <^hashbang^> racecaar56: if your bios supports booting from USB , just reboot your server
[20:39] <blizzle> !tell SB6789 about ask
[20:39] <^hashbang^> racecaar56: you should get a boot option like F9, F10 or something during post boot, which you can press to boot from USB is it's supported
[20:39] <deany> ActionParsnip, so even if I install xubuntu from scratch, it`ll put a ton of gnome packages on just because of firefox?
[20:39] <Feleo> LOL
[20:40] <deany> sounds a little silly to me.. is the point of xubuntiu to be xfce...
[20:40] <AJC_Z0> What's the easy was to replace sun-java6-jre  6-10-0ubuntu2 with 6-7-0ubuntu2?
[20:40] <wunnymush_> somebody who knows about dualbooting?
[20:40] <Feleo> hey
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> deany: yep, sucks doesnt it
[20:40] <blizzle> deany, Firefox is default in Xfce.
[20:40] <carpeliam|pidgin> G-Bleezy: does rootnoverify (hd1,6) sound about right?
[20:40] <G-Bleezy> carpeliam|pidgin: ya im trying to figure that out..
[20:40] <KyleK> hdb7?
[20:40] <SB6789> what is ask?
[20:40] <G-Bleezy> carpeliam|pidgin: you could try it
[20:40] <blizzle> deany, Well, at least Xubuntu, anyways. Midori is Xfce's nominated browser.
[20:41] <G-Bleezy> carpeliam|pidgin: so your xp is on your 5th partition on your first drive?
[20:41] <fozzy_the_bear> thanks everyone.  Off to watch the latest BSG episode on my shiny new Ibex install.  :)
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> I'm using the 8.04-2 live CD to repartition a disk.
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> It has nearly completed, but resize2fs complains, saying:
[20:41] <G-Bleezy> or 5th partition on your second drive?
[20:41] <Family> Could someone help me install the broadcom wireless drivers in ubuntu??
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda5' first.
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> I manually ran that, it completed without errors.
[20:41] <SB6789> i am having trouble getting a webcam to work with an HP laptop - ricoh version.  any assistance?
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> but resize2fs still complains.
[20:41] <KyleK> carpeliam|pidgin: if that doesn't work, abuse the tab completion from grub :D
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> anyone had this issue?
[20:42] <blizzle> Family, sudo apt-get install ndis-wrapper
[20:42] <^hashbang^> racecaar56: serial cable? if not... hmm, don't think you can install it
[20:42] <stefg> !webcam | SB6789
[20:42] <ParhelicTriangle> isn't midori gtk too?
[20:42] <jando> hello, can someone help me with the speed of my ubuntu??
[20:42] <^hashbang^> wb Jack_Sparrow
[20:42] <carpeliam|pidgin> G-Bleezy: you can see in the pastie that it's on a LBA partition so it's actually kind of on the first logical partition. (i think)
[20:42] <blizzle> ParhelicTriangle, It is. Xfce is GTk based, as is Gnome.
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> deany: theres firepup which is 32bit and doesnt have all the extra fluff, or you can use opera or kazehakase
[20:42] <KyleK> NfNitLoop: did the fsck complain about the partitione being mounted?
[20:42] <IntuitiveNipple> SB6789, Which driver are you using, uvcvideo or r5u870 ?
[20:42] <stefg> jando: speed of what? loading?
[20:42] <racecar56> ok i have an external cd drive for my server but how do i install ubuntu on it?? it dosent have a monitor or a keyboard, all it has is 2 HD's and a external cd-rw drive
[20:42] <ParhelicTriangle> blizzle: thx for clearing that up :)
[20:42] <carpeliam|pidgin> KyleK: grub has auto-complete? is that in terminal? how's that work
[20:42] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[20:43] <G-Bleezy> lol at the auto-explanation
[20:43] <jando> nope, the speed when running apps and so on, it used to be quicker than now
[20:43] <^hashbang^> racecar56: you will need a monitor and a keyboard...
[20:43] <racecar56> lol
[20:43] <letalis> //quit
[20:43] <racecar56> dang too bad
[20:43] <stefg> jando: what hardware do you have ?
[20:43] <KyleK> carpeliam|pidgin: well i mean if you try the lets say XP option, and it doesn't work, so you restart, select XP and instead of enter button, press e I think
[20:43] <SB6789> hi intuitive.  i am not 100% sure in all honesty!
[20:43] <^hashbang^> racecar56: most OS installs other than an automated kickstart install require a monitor and keyboard
[20:43] <G-Bleezy> carpeliam|pidgin: i'd try  root (hd0,5)
[20:43] <racecar56> how would i get a monitor working on a server?
[20:43] <jando> im trying to say that it worked fine and now it runs everything slower
[20:43] <G-Bleezy> that's first disk 5th partition
[20:44] <racecar56> a keyboard would be easy to do
[20:44] <^hashbang^> racecar56: plug one in and reboot the server
[20:44] <NfNitLoop> KyleK: nope... the partition is not mounted.
[20:44] <G-Bleezy> guess i could look at what my grub.lst says
[20:44] <blizzle> racecar56, ssh and vnc is also possible if you have another system you can log in from, though I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do?
[20:44] <wunnymush_> is it possible to include ubuntu in boot.ini in windows?
[20:44] <jp_sf> racecar56: it usually have a vga port no ? what kind of server is it ?
[20:44] <blizzle> wunnymush_, It is. See wubi.
[20:44] <blizzle> !wubi
[20:44] <^hashbang^> blizzle: install ubuntu from a cdrom without a keyboard or monitor
[20:44] <IntuitiveNipple> SB6789: Some HP models have a Ricoh camera. In a terminal use the command "lspci -nn" and look for the Ricoh device and tell me the [vendor:product] ID that will be shown at the end of the line
[20:44] <stefg> wunnymush_: yes, but you would be better off using grub
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> jando What have you installed since it was running fast.  In particular, what things from outside supported repos or from source
[20:45] <KyleK> hahahaha
[20:45] <SB6789> the webcam is listed as being: ID (05ca:1810
[20:45] <wunnymush_> ok
[20:45] <blizzle> ^hashbang^, Ah. Now that's going to prove a little tricky :)
[20:45] <KyleK> <3 hp laptops, my webcam works in windows but I have lots of skype problems with ubuntu
[20:45] <mkatz_> hello
[20:45] <KyleK> err webcam works in linux, NOT windows
[20:45] <Family> Excuse me I have ndiswrapper and the .inf and .sys files, but I need instructions from here please
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> wunnymush_ best to avoid wubi and use grub as part of a regular install
[20:45] <mkatz_> is there a trick to getting 8.1 to save teh nvidia x server settings?
[20:45] <jando> hmmm, i installed compiz but actually im not running it
[20:45] <IntuitiveNipple> SB6789: thanks... let me check, I've just installed a new hard disk so all my notes are on a disconnected disk
[20:45] <G-Bleezy> mkatz_: mine just saved them automatically
[20:46] <jando> i also installed google earth and some apps. like the gimp
[20:46] <^hashbang^> bizzle: yea that's what I told him =) now if hey had a serial cable setup to a console server then it might be possible =)
[20:46] <G-Bleezy> or like...i installed and didn't need to change anything
[20:46] <mkatz_> Im getting a UNable to create new X config backup error.  Then when I login I have to redo my settings
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Family: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[20:46] <mkatz_> this is a fresh install
[20:46] <blizzle> ^hashbang^, If you can remove the hd and place in another system, you might be able to install Ubuntu ok.
[20:46] <wunnymush_> but the case is that i want to install windows on fresh install, but without having to reinstall ubuntu
[20:46] <G-Bleezy> mkatz_: what settings did you change?
[20:46] <stefg> mkatz_: run gksudo nvidia-settings
[20:46] <^hashbang^> blizzle: true... then put that drive back into the server =)
[20:47] <blizzle> wunnymush_, You'd want to repair Grub, in that case, post-Windows install.
[20:47] <IntuitiveNipple> SB6789: Yes, that ID is supported by the r5u870 driver, which I just happen to maintain in my Ubuntu PPA...
[20:47] <carpeliam|pidgin> G-Bleezy and KyleK thanks :) here goes nothing, i'll be back if it doesn't work..
[20:47] <stefg> !gub | wunnymush_
[20:47] <SB6789> aha! :)  i think i might have got that faar
[20:47] <stefg> !grub | wunnymush_
[20:47] <^hashbang^> blizzle: more work than it's worth I think .... much eaiser to put a monitor and keyboard on the server lol
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> jando sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:47] <mkatz_> G-Bleezy - multi monitor
[20:47] <blizzle> ^hashbang^, Your call :)
[20:47] <SB6789> i think i have that as a zip file and have unzipped it
[20:47] <mkatz_> stefg - thanks
[20:47] <SB6789> let me check
[20:47] <G-Bleezy> mkatz_ and it doesn't save huh
[20:47] <^hashbang^> blizzle: looks like he left...
[20:48] <wunnymush_> ok, thankx

[20:48] <SB6789> yes, i do have it, but now i am unsure how to get it to work.  i followed a tutorial, but it didn't work
[20:49] <SB6789> ok, i have gone to that link IntuitiveNipple , what do i do now?

I can change the theme without any problem but a few minutes later, it changes back to old theme without obvious reason. when i then try to start System->Settings->appearance it changes again back to oxygen-theme but then i've got some problems like "clicking" buttons or links in firefox
[20:58] <wompy> has anybody heard of this problem?
[20:58] <racecar56> ok i need help installing on my server, whoever wants to help pm me
[20:58] <jp_sf> adil:  aptitude show tilda Version: 0.09.6-1

[21:00] <racecar56> how do i get ubuntu server on my hp mediasmart ex475?
[21:00] <devil> !ubutto how to update seamonkey?
[21:00] <racecar56> LOL
[21:00] <G-Blunted> racecar56, just burn Ubuntu Server to a cd and boot it on your hp mediasmart
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !info seamonkey
[21:01] <TuxSympathiser> If I use modprobe -r e1000e do I have to use ifconfig eth0 down first?
[21:01] <jp_sf> racecar56: http://samuel.thollander.net/projects/linux-on-hp-ex470/
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> devil that is the latest in supported repos.  for newer you will need to build it yourself
[21:01] <devil> jack
[21:01] <devil> thats where im stuck
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> racecar56: install it like any other linux, boot to the live cd
[21:01] <^hashbang^> TuzSympathiser: try downing the interface first then unload the driver
[21:01] <adi1> jp-sf | what do you mean for aptitude?
[21:01] <adi1> aptitude is synaptic?
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> devil Why, because you dont know how to compile etc?  you really sholdnt need a newer versions
[21:02] <devil> i get this when i try to build "./seamonkey-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[21:02] <devil> "
[21:02] <jp_sf> adil: in System > Administration > Synaptic Package manager yes
[21:02] <devil> i know how to build
[21:02] <devil> lol
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter
[21:02] <nDuff> adi1, aptitude is more longstanding than synaptic and has a textual (CLI/ncurses\) UI.
[21:02] <adi1> jp-sf| what repos should I make available to install it?
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> devil: try: apt-file search libstdc++.so.5
[21:02] <pteague> how do i find out what has a lock on a particular file ?
[21:03] <jp_sf> adil: to check the version in type: aptitude show tilda
[21:03] <adi1> sp-sf im in hardy
[21:03] <devil> its not installed
[21:03] <devil> dang
[21:03] <Jack_Sparrow> pteague If you are trying to install something.. synaptic, aptitude and apt-get.. only one open at a time
[21:03] <dmilad_> holla
[21:04] <devil> jack how to install the lib?
[21:04] <devil> i dont have a source for it
[21:04] <jp_sf> adil: ok then use a terminal
[21:04] <pteague> Jack_Sparrow: the problem is that i was trying to install a plugin in firefox... firefox crashed, window closed & now i have no idea how to release the lock in order to do anything else
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> devil You wont listen when we tell you to use the persons nick or when we tell you to not hit enter every other word.. sorry, I cant  help
[21:05] <Dartel> Hi all I am back
[21:05] <G-Blunted> yay! Dartel !
[21:05] <pteague> Jack_Sparrow: so i figured if i could find out what has a lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock i could kill that process
[21:05] <devil> i dont hit enter after every word
[21:06] <adi1> sp-sf this is why i came here...in terminal "./configure" give me this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> pteague YOu will end up killing filrefox from cli.. kill all perhaps
[21:06] <Dartel> How do I uninstall things.. Like say all the default games from the Intrepid install
[21:06] <pteague> Jack_Sparrow: um, that's just it... firefox process is *not* running
[21:07] <zsakr> how to install java?
[21:07] <zsakr> apt-get install sun-java6 ?
[21:07] <G-Blunted> Dartel, add/remove applications
[21:08] <pteague> zsakr: you need the jdk or just the jre ?  apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or sun-java6-jre should work
[21:08] <shingen> pteague: you could always remove ~/.mozilla
[21:08] <dmilad> perl bot1.pl
[21:08] <G-Blunted> adil: you gotta add some packages
[21:08] <adi1> zsakr | go to add/remove and install open jdk or java
[21:08] <G-Blunted> adi1, i think that is happening because you don't have the right packages for the compiler to compile
[21:08] <pteague> shingen: um, what does that have to do with the lock on apt ?
[21:08] <Dartel> TY
[21:08] <zsakr> zsakr> apt-get install sun-java6 ?
[21:08] <zsakr> this like that wont work?
[21:08] <shingen> pteague: nothing, guess I didn't read your entire issue :D
[21:08] <G-Blunted> adi1, you need like...glibc-devel package
[21:08] <G-Blunted> i think thats the one
[21:08] <^hashbang^> pteague: so firefox won't run?
[21:09] <pteague> shingen: firefox crashed while trying to install a plugin... & now apt is locked
[21:09] <_VIM_> zsakr: you need the 'jre' at the end of that
[21:09] <adi1> g-blunted | so is going to be a mess jsut to install lates tilda :)
[21:09] <^hashbang^> pteague: so apt-get is locked? were you installing this plugin via synaptic?
[21:09] <G-Blunted> naw not really
[21:09] <G-Blunted> just install the glibc packages
[21:09] <adi1> I will waity for a deb package
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> !fixapt
[21:09] <_VIM_> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[21:09] <G-Blunted> and run ./configure again
[21:09] <pteague> ^hashbang^: no, via firefox
[21:09] <adi1> ok thanks
[21:09] <G-Blunted> or you can wait for a .deb :)
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> killall firefox
[21:10] <G-Blunted> but compiling stuff is like...hella 1337
[21:10] <adi1> :)
[21:10] <DeeDeeVee> Good day all
[21:10] <pteague> ps aux | grep firefox shows no firefox process running
[21:10] <G-Blunted> i actually havn't compiled anything on my install yet....i feel so noob
[21:10] <Dartel> Feel silly that I had not seen the add/remove before
[21:10] <G-Blunted> i wanna recompile my kernel some time...just for fun :p
[21:10] <_VIM_> G-Blunted: Gentoo user?
[21:10] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[21:10] <nightrid3r> G-Blunted: but compiling stuff might bork your box :(
[21:10] <^hashbang^> pteague: try for the heck of it restarting X
[21:10] <G-Blunted> what is Gentoo?
[21:10] <jp_sf> adil: I think the latest one is on a deb form already could you do a aptitude show tilda ?
[21:10] <^hashbang^> ctrl+alt+backspace

[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> DeeDeeVee Wont use it, wont recommend it, wont help if you have used it
[21:11] <G-Blunted> nightrid3r,  lol ya...compiling shit is hard for some reason....so many options all the time
[21:11] <G-Blunted> adi1, compiling is better if you do it right
[21:12] <G-Blunted> adi1, it is hard tho....i'll give ya that..
[21:12] <G-Blunted> sometimes
[21:12] <adi1> even for tilda?
[21:12] <jeancalvin> how can i send email via terminal/ command line?
[21:12] <G-Blunted> sometimes it's simple as 'make install' './configure' othertimes its good to set hella options and shit
[21:12] <adi1> a small app
[21:12] <G-Blunted> probably easy
[21:12] <jeancalvin> I do NOT need to read email. just need to send a few emails.
[21:12] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: mail -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-s"testing"
[21:12] <G-Blunted> i never heard of tilda...
[21:13] <adi1> terminal emulator
[21:13] <G-Blunted> but you should try i would think...just install the packages so your compiler can compile it
[21:13] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: do i need to setup password stuff?
[21:13] <MeVsTheVoices> tilde
[21:13] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: mail -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-s"testing" then enter, then hit .
[21:13] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: nope
[21:13] <G-Blunted> terminal emulator.....that's just like a terminal window isn't it?
[21:13] <adi1> tilda
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !info tilda
[21:13] <pteague> found the issue...  `ps aux | grep apt` ... had to kill 3 processes in the list... a gksu, the synaptic installer running as root, & another process that i don't remember now
[21:13] <jeancalvin> nope?, wow. i'll try now
[21:13] <G-Blunted> i don't get that
[21:13] <G-Blunted> with first person shooter console likeness??
[21:13] <MeVsTheVoices> Ooo, Tilda any goods?
[21:13] <adi1> gblunted  yes
[21:14] <G-Blunted> first person shooter console likeness....at a terminal window?
[21:14] <ParhelicTriangle> it pops out from the top
[21:14]  * jp_sf is copyrighting the fact that the latest version is in the repos
[21:14] <ParhelicTriangle> like quake console
[21:14] <MeVsTheVoices> G-Blunted: Sexy
[21:14] <G-Blunted> should be a url for tilda in that !tilda help
[21:14] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: i need to download heirloom-mailx or mailutils, right? which of the 2?
[21:14] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: mailutils
[21:14] <adi1> g-blunted: i like it cause with F1 im able to show/hide terminal
[21:14] <Omoikane> Is there a way to extend my desktop to my 32" LCD tv via HDMI?
[21:14] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: sudo apt-get install mailutils
[21:15] <G-Blunted> hmm
[21:15] <G-Blunted> can't you just configure F1 to bring up a terminal window?
[21:15] <adi1> gblunted: im a copy/paste guy
[21:15] <adi1> :)
[21:15] <^hashbang^> Omoikane: what resolutions does your graphics card support?
[21:15] <^hashbang^> Omoikane: what resolutions does your TV support
[21:15] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: if you don't need to enter password info, then how will my ubuntu comp know what "from email address" to use?
[21:16] <theacolyte> How do you call up restricted drivers menu, if it's not next to your clock
[21:16] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: it uses the  the username sending the email as the from:
[21:16] <adi1> gblunted ; this is ok but sometimes I need to understand what some forums says and copy commands from browser and paste them to tilda
[21:16] <NfNitLoop> oh well, if anyone cares, I just did resize2fs -f to force it, and everything worked fine.  *shrug*
[21:17] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: so if your hostname is mybox and your username is me, then your from: line will be me@mybox
[21:17] <G-Blunted> ohh is Tilda an irc client?
[21:17] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: wow. a username but no email address. ISn't this a way then to send anonymous email?
[21:17] <adi1> gblunted: so i hide tilda for some 30 sec or so and than show it again paste the command and "enter"
[21:17] <adi1> :)
[21:17] <jken146> G-Blunted: Tilda is a drop-down terminal
[21:17] <jeancalvin> mail: invalid option -- v ^hashbang^
[21:17] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: I guess
[21:17] <G-Blunted> is that just a terminal with menus??
[21:17] <adi1> jken146: thanks
[21:17] <^hashbang^> mail -v
[21:18] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: mail -v not mail -- v
[21:18] <quentusrex> What does this error mean? and how to I fix it? "Ekiga got an invalid value for the GConf key "/apps/ekiga/general/gconf_test_age". "
[21:18] <user_> is there scroll button in ubuntu same as windwos ?
[21:18] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^:  I did have -v, as in ....    mail -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-s"testing"
[21:18] <theacolyte> Ah I found it, it's just labeled wrong
[21:18] <IrishDavid> hey, what's the easiest way to share a folder across a network between two ubuntu machines? (I want to mount the network folder)
[21:18] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: let me double check
[21:18] <theacolyte> So I'm trying to install the NVIDIA restricted drivers, and I click activate, it thinks for a second, then closes the window - and doesn't activate the driver
[21:19] <theacolyte> Any idears?
[21:19] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: thanks! (i'm getting used to typing in Shift6 because of your first letter) 8-)
[21:19] <foges> have you tried a restart?
[21:19] <G-Blunted> CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[21:19] <jp_sf> ^hashbang^, jeancalvin : to use mail command you will need a MTA
[21:19] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: lol I use the up key
[21:19] <user_> any help ?is there scroll button in ubuntu same as windwos ?
[21:19] <G-Blunted> user_, ya use your mouse
[21:19] <G-Blunted> or the pgup pgdw
[21:19] <jeancalvin> jp_sf: is there a simpler way of sending email via commandline/terminal?
[21:20] <^hashbang^> jp_sf: doh that's right ubuntu doesn't install one by default
[21:20] <user_> i use ut but nothing happend
[21:20] <jeancalvin> jp_sf: do you recommend that i get an MTA? What's an MTA? is it free?
[21:20] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: true.. so install postfix too =)
[21:20] <quentusrex> What does this error mean? and how to I fix it? "Ekiga got an invalid value for the GConf key "/apps/ekiga/general/gconf_test_age". "
[21:20] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: sudo apt-get install postfix
[21:20] <jillian> i'm using ubuntu 8.04. Do you recommend upgrading to 8.10?
[21:20] <jp_sf> jeancalvin: MTA Mail transfer agent it's basically a mail server to speak to other mail server
[21:20] <user_> i mean i need it to scroll down in window
[21:21] <Guest628> yes jillian
[21:21] <sgtryan> ubuntu blows
[21:21] <sgtryan> that is all
[21:21] <zsakr> im downloading ubunt 8.10 becouse i need backup my hardriv
[21:21] <user_> i dont know if you got my idea clear
[21:21] <zsakr> and my question is if i could get usb to put the file on the pen
[21:21] <zsakr> ????????
[21:21] <G-Blunted> quentusrex,  probably means your permissions aren't right
[21:21] <jeancalvin> jp_sf: what's the simplest way to send email via terminal? (I already have a Gmail account, if that makes any difference)
[21:21] <_VIM_> You can also do SHIFT + page up/down to scroll the terminal
[21:21] <jp_sf> jeancalvin: just to make sure what exactly is your need trying to acheive ?
[21:21] <quentusrex> G-Blunted: I want to remove gconf keys....
[21:21] <quentusrex> G-Blunted: But I can't find a way to dump the keys....
[21:21] <zsakr> Anyone?
[21:21] <hexmasta> zsakr?
[21:21] <nickrud_> quentusrex, right click the key and select unset
[21:21] <zsakr> im downloading ubunt 8.10 becouse i need backup my hardriv
[21:22] <zsakr> and my question is if i could get usb to put the file on the pen
[21:22] <jillian> what are the benefits of upgrading...i'm new to using ubuntu
[21:22] <quentusrex> nickrud_: I want to remove an entire tree...
[21:22] <jeancalvin> jp_sf:  my goal: send a few emails via terminal/commandline. I need to send some emails to myself when something on my computer triggers it.
[21:22] <quentusrex> nickrud_: and most of the unset commands don't remove the values....
[21:22] <nickrud_> quentusrex, gconftool --recursive-unset /path/to/folder/key
[21:22] <quentusrex> I have gconf-editor opened in root
[21:22] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: I just installed postfix, set it up as an internet mail server... did mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(example only) typed in a subject and bam... it sent me mail to my gmail account
[21:23] <Milkeh> why is it when I start ubuntu my window manager is compiz and not metacity when I changed it in compiz icon?
[21:23] <nickrud_> quentusrex, they revert to the schema values in /etc/gconf, irrc. And using gconf as root affects /root/.gconf
[21:23] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: during the postfix install it will prompt you to setup postfix, just pick internet host
[21:23] <jeancalvin> jp_sf: i'm using specto to change a web page for changes. with specto rc3.1, you can enter a command when specto finds a change to a page.
[21:23] <jp_sf> jeancalvin: ok, depends of the scale, usually in operations you will install Postfix or sendmail, for a very very basic usage I would use  msmtp
[21:23] <G-Blunted> quentusrex,  gconf-edit....you gotta remove them one at a time
[21:23] <jeancalvin> jp_sf: yes, this is for very very very very basic usage.
[21:23] <jeancalvin> should i download msmtp?
[21:23] <^hashbang^> jp_sf: postfix isn't that bloated...
[21:24] <Milkeh> how do I set metacity as my defalt window manager?
[21:24] <jeancalvin> i've already downloaded postfix, jp_sf
[21:24] <^hashbang^> jp_sf: plus the setup is very easy (for new users anyway)
[21:24] <jp_sf> jeancalvin: so if it is not a production site or anything like I would suggest msmtp
[21:24] <guntbert> ^hashbang^: are you sure you didn't create another open mail relay?
[21:24] <nickrud_> quentusrex, for example,  gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel  && killall gnome-panel will cause your panels to be reset to the defaults set in /etc/gconf
[21:24] <Omoikane> ^hashbang 1366X768 is the TV
[21:24] <^hashbang^> guntbert: yes.. i'm behind a firewall =0
[21:24] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: in postfix config, do i choose "internet site", "internet wih smarthost", "satellite system" or "no config"?
[21:25] <^hashbang^> Omoikane: ok cool, it should work then =)
[21:25] <kop_> so I dl to a .gvfs mount on a remote box on the lan from a bittorrent client and I have to keep the folder open as well as refresh the permissions to the target folder every hr or so and even then every 12 hrs or so the .gvfs mount disappears , the torrent client responds with destination folder does not exist and goes zombie . there's more but...
[21:25] <quentusrex> nickrud_: I need to remove the whole tree...
[21:25] <quentusrex> and the recursive-unset won't unset them all
[21:25] <guntbert> ^hashbang^: ok, but doesn't necessarely apply for jeancalvin as well, I'm afraid
[21:25] <jp_sf> ^hashbang^: I like postfix but... well I might think this is not for jeancalvin it is my opinion and not my employers opinion, all I wrote ...
[21:25] <Omoikane> ^hashbang I have it hooked up but not sure what to do. Do I require additional software to use HDMI?
[21:25] <quentusrex> and it won't delete them either.
[21:25] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: if you installed it via apt-get then the postfix installer would have asked you for the postfix setup type, there is no reason to exit the postfix mail.cf file by hand
[21:25] <guntbert> *but that
[21:26] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: i'm not editing it by hand.
[21:26] <^hashbang^> Omoikane: hmm, I wouldn't believe so... have you tried rebooting your system with the HDMI cable plugged in?
[21:26] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: there's a blue-red-grey config screen
[21:26] <jeancalvin> wanna see a screenshot?
[21:26] <Omoikane> ^hashbang yes
[21:26] <Omoikane> let me try again
[21:26] <^hashbang^> jeanvalvin: blue red and green?
[21:27] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^:  http://img9.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotsi4.png
[21:27] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: you want "internet site"
[21:27] <joe-mac> hello, am i correct to assume that --acls isn't working with tar on ubuntu becaue it was compiled without support?
[21:28] <figueiredo> someone help me about RACOON IPSEC?
[21:28] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: btw, why do you want to send email from the console?
[21:28] <guntbert> !ask | figueiredo
[21:28] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: yes, that's EXACTLY what i want to do
[21:28] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: ok but why?
[21:29] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: for scripting?
[21:29] <mylisto_> anyone have any idea how to record skype video?
[21:29] <mylisto_> ie...webcams?
[21:29] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: yes. need to get an alert when a webpage changes.... using it with http://specto.sourceforge.net/?go=download
[21:29] <nickrud_> quentusrex, that's what --recursive-unset does; however you may not see the change because if a default exists in /etc/gconf it will revert to that
[21:30] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: kk
[21:30] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: so you picked "internet site" right? and now the installer is finished?
[21:30] <nickrud_> quentusrex, http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-6878/6jfpqt2sv?a=view gives a decent overview of gcong
[21:30] <nickrud_> *gconf
[21:31] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: if so, try `mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and hit enter you could get a (CC) prompt, just hit enter, then type in your subject, then for the body of the message hit . and then enter again
[21:31] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: yes fininshed.
[21:31] <Omoikane_> ^hashbang^ my tv says mode not supported
[21:31] <sn00zer> Does anybody know how to start x11vnc if you aren't already logged into an X session but the graphical login is running?
[21:31] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: i need to get an email sent all in 1 line/command
[21:31] <nickrud_> quentusrex, install sabayon to manipulate the default settings
[21:31] <sn00zer> btw, I have ssh access
[21:31] <^hashbang^> jeanvalvin: try man mail
[21:32] <Omoikane_> ^hashbang^ does ubuntu support HDMI?
[21:32] <^hashbang^> jeanvalvin: or mail --usage
[21:32] <bove2> any ideas why each time I do "xrandr -o something", font sizes increase?
[21:32] <jimi_hendrix> can i access files on my windows partition and if so how
[21:32] <jeancalvin> jp_sf: tell me about mspmts. is it easy to work with?
[21:32] <Frozenball> bove2, you are answering your own question already
[21:33] <^hashbang^> Omoikane: HDMI is a video format, on a laptop it's a display output... so it's likely that the resolution on your laptop is greater than what your TV can support, in which case, decrease your laptop display resolution
[21:33] <nickrud_> quentusrex, for official gconf info, http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/
[21:33] <cdavis> how do you determine if I one is running intrepid or hardy?
[21:33] <joe-mac> lsb_release -rd
[21:33] <G-Blunted> jimi_hendrix, mount the partition
[21:33] <joe-mac> cd
[21:33] <nickrud_> cdavis,   lsb_release -a
[21:34] <jp_sf> jeancalvin: it consists of installing a package msmtp and then have a file name .msmtprc that does have the configuration that's it
[21:34] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: i keep hitting enter, but it won't send
[21:34] <cdavis> nickrud_ thanks
[21:34] <`Peter``> Can anyone help with troubleshooting a gigabit ethernet PCI card on Intrepid?
[21:34] <jp_sf> jeancalvin: http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/
[21:34] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: did you put in a . as the last line in the body of the message?
[21:34] <bove2> Frozenball: ? Why does that change text size?
[21:34] <`Peter``> It's recognised (if I click network manager it's shown) however it doesn't recognise any connections and ifconfig lists it as "FIBRE"
[21:34] <jeancalvin> ^hashbang^: now i did 8-)
[21:35] <`Peter``> *ethtool not ifconfig
[21:35] <`Peter``> and it also says the MAC is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[21:35] <guntbert> !enter | `Peter``

[21:41] <benkamin> hi, how do I extract multiple Tar archives at once?
[21:41] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: it could be because most mail system require a reverse DNS entry to exist before they will relay email
[21:41] <jeancalvin> oh
[21:42] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: you could try setting the relay option in /etc/postfix/main.cf to your ISP's mail host
[21:42] <ahmed> how can install Arabic language 2 my PC because I wanna write in Arabic
[21:42] <^hashbang^> jeancalvin: and then restart postfix and try sending the mail again
[21:42] <G-Blunted> bove2, just make sure font sizes set to same size on both screens
[21:42] <gwhyte> Looking for help with a basic linux file permission problem. My non-root user (smith) is a member of multiple groups (smith, specialgroup) but can't write to a ext3 folder that is 775 specialgroup.specialgroup. Does "smith" need to change his active group somehow or something to use his group permission to write to the dir?
[21:42] <nickrud_> benkamin, something like   for i in `ls *tar`; do tar xf i; done
[21:43] <deadbattery> this is kind of a unrelated question, but are there any scripts that will tell u the status of a apache web server? like you can post it in the forum and it tells u if server #1 or #2 is offline or online?
[21:43] <deadbattery> this is kind of a unrelated question, but are there any scripts that will tell u the status of a apache web server? like you can post it in the forum and it tells u if server #1 or #2 is offline or online?

[21:44] <xnox> Can you please help me to turn of proxy? (apt uses one and fails)
[21:44] <^hashbang^> xnox: are you running apt from commandline?
[21:44] <ahmed> no result ok thanks all bye bye
[21:44] <xnox> ^hashbang^: yes. I do sudo apt-get update and it shows that it tries to connect to a proxy and fails to update any of the sources.
[21:44] <^hashbang^> xnox: if your using synaptic, go to settings -> Prefs-> network
[21:45] <^hashbang^> xnox: ok do an `env | grep http_proxy
[21:45] <^hashbang^> xnox: if you see it just run unset http_proxy
[21:45] <nickrud_> ahmed, system->admin->keyboard, layouts tab iirc
[21:45] <benkamin> nickrud: i guess it should be do tar xf $i? otherwise it doesn't work,
[21:45] <benkamin> but when i do with $i i get tar: filename: Not found in archive
[21:45] <benkamin> for each filename
[21:45] <nickrud_> benkamin, yeah, typo without a $
[21:46] <benkamin> but why do i get Not found in archive?
[21:46] <nickrud_> benkamin, not sure. I'm in a vm with no downloaded tars, a sec
[21:47] <xnox> ^hashbang^: thanks a lot! that help it was stuck in the env!
[21:47] <^hashbang^> xnon: np
[21:47] <^hashbang^> benkamin: are you tryin to untar a file?
[21:47] <benkamin> i do: for i in 'ls *.bz2'; do tar -xjvf $i; done
[21:47] <benkamin> and i get: tar: filename.tar.bz2: not found in archive - for any file in the dir
[21:48] <benkamin> i mean for each of the files in the dir
[21:48] <nickrud_> benkamin, works here; didn' bzip them though
[21:48] <benkamin> hm...
[21:49] <theacolyte> So apparently I can't install my NVIDIA drivers and now after updating to the latest, my BCM4312 stopped working
[21:49] <guntbert> benkamin: tar has a *lot* of options, try tar xjvf instead of tar -xjvf
[21:49] <racecar56> help! i got this weird error on booting ubuntu server
[21:49] <theacolyte> Seems like it should work according to the documentation
[21:49] <racecar56> i put my server's HD into my pc and booted ubuntu server off of the cd
[21:49] <racecar56> and it gives me this:
[21:49] <benkamin> tried tar xjvf -- same result
[21:50] <prince_jammys> benkamin: for i in *.bz2; tar xjvf "$i"; done
[21:50] <nickrud_> benkamin, bzips work too. Sure you're in the same dir
[21:50] <guntbert> !enter | racecar56
[21:50] <prince_jammys> benkamin: you had the wrong quotes, plus you don't need ls
[21:50] <Vadonon> yay for EAC in WINE \o/
[21:50] <prince_jammys> benkamin: forgot the 'do'
[21:50] <prince_jammys> benkamin: for i in *.bz2; do tar xjvf "$i"; done
[21:51] <^hashbang^> benkamin: I just made 3 tar.bz2 files and ran for i in `ls *.bz2`; do tar xjf $i; done and everyhing worked fine.

[21:51]  * nickrud_ always forgets that newer bashes figure out that *.bz2 is assumed to be a directory listing
[21:51] <prince_jammys> he had single quotes instead of ` `, but yeah, don't use ls
[21:51] <benkamin> trying...
[21:52] <racecar56> ...
[21:52] <racecar56> what am i to do
[21:52] <benkamin> ls
[21:52] <benkamin> sorry
[21:52] <prince_jammys> . ..
[21:52] <brianrgn> i keep reading that ubuntu depends on an internet connection very heavily... what if the computer i want to use has no connection?
[21:52] <racecar56> idk
[21:52] <racecar56> you'd be missing a lot
[21:52] <benkamin> SOLVED :-)
[21:52] <benkamin> this one worked: for i in `ls *.bz2`; do tar xjf $i; done
[21:52] <prince_jammys> great
[21:52] <Naisel> hi all
[21:53] <guntbert> nickrud_: what was that about bz2 in newer bashes?
[21:53] <racecar56> what am i to do? i dont know how to do this'
[21:53] <^hashbang^> benkamin: you could do a "for i in `find . -name \*.bz2`; do tar xjf $i; done" that should work fine =)
[21:53] <Naisel> Bram are you ther
[21:53] <prince_jammys> until you filenames have whitespace
[21:54] <benkamin> cool, thanks!
[21:54] <^hashbang^> prince_jammys: you have whitespace zip files?
[21:55] <vlan> hello all
[21:55] <nickrud_> guntbert, nah, the for i in *bz2 , I always forget I don't need the ls anymore
[21:55] <vlan> i get error : src/p_translate.c:314: warning: passing argument 2 of 'strmncpy' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
[21:55] <vlan> whern im trying to install psybnc
[21:55] <ANTRat> find -name "*.bz2" -exec tar xjf "{}" \;
[21:55] <guntbert> nickrud_: ah ok, misunderstood you :)
[21:55] <ANTRat> find . -name
[21:55] <nickrud_> ghahhahahahahg it's a quick scripting quide today
[21:55] <^hashbang^> ANTRat: yea that's how I do it... =)
[21:56] <vlan> i think one package missed but i dont know wich, if anyone can help me please
[21:56] <Naisel> vlan what is psybnc
[21:56] <^hashbang^> find . -type -f -size +2G -name \*.bz -exec rm -f {} \; I like that one too
[21:57] <G-Blunted> !psybnc
[21:57] <G-Blunted> psybnc is a bouncer
[21:57] <G-Blunted> for irc
[21:57] <brianrgn> so an internet connection is basically required for any serious use of ubuntu?
[21:57] <G-Blunted> brianrgn, it helps for sure
[21:57] <G-Blunted> brianrgn,  and yes....if you want to use it 'seriously' an internet connection would be good to have
[21:57] <bove2> despite your help, I really can't understand why screen fonts get bigger and bigger eachtime I do a xrandr command
[21:57] <G-Blunted> that goes for any operating system though
[21:58] <G-Blunted> bove2, change your screen to default DPI's
[21:58] <G-Blunted> bove2, has to do with the DPI
[21:59] <dianewny> hi
[21:59] <felixsulla> So, I installed a program through Synaptic. How do I know where it went? How do I get to it?
[21:59] <^hashbang^> hi
[21:59] <^hashbang^> felizsulla: what was the program
[22:00] <isase> felix: it'll be in /usr/bin, and should have a laucnher for it in the "applications" menu in the gnome panel
[22:00] <felixsulla> Kodos
[22:00] <dianewny> anyone have time for a couple of dumb questions?
[22:00] <G-Blunted> !justask
[22:01] <^hashbang^> go for it..
[22:01] <G-Blunted> all we're doing is answering dumb questions
[22:01] <G-Blunted> one more can't hurt too much :)
[22:01] <^hashbang^> lol G
[22:01] <felixsulla> Dumb is relative to knowledge :)
[22:01] <brianrgn> is there anyway around the connection requirments for things like ubuntu-restricted-extras??
[22:01] <^hashbang^> there is nothing dumb about a question =)
[22:01] <AMPws> Hi
[22:01] <G-Blunted> good call
[22:01] <felixsulla> Ok I think I know why it doesn't show up in Applications. It's just a python script ;)
[22:01] <G-Blunted> lol felix
[22:02] <AMPws> like to ask help for my first time using linux...
[22:02] <^hashbang^> yea felixsulla.... I just installed it to check it out..
[22:02] <^hashbang^> !justask | AMPws
[22:02] <G-Blunted> !justask | AMPws
[22:02] <G-Blunted> jynx
[22:02] <felixsulla> OK so here is a dumb question, can I MAKE a shortcut to it from Applications?
[22:02] <cphillips> does anyone know why some songs in amarok are grey instead of black?
[22:02] <dianewny> 1.5 g celeron 2g ram cpu is running 100% and way to lighten the load    ?
[22:02] <^hashbang^> lol G beat you to it
[22:02] <G-Blunted> ^hashbang^,  no you didn't
[22:02] <AMPws> got a backtrack version and need to change the mac address to conect the internet..
[22:02] <G-Blunted> felixsulla,  from applications?
[22:02] <^hashbang^> lol G-Blunted: yes... look above  your's
[22:03] <G-Blunted> AMPws: go to #remote-exploit <--- BackTrack channel
[22:03] <ikonia> apw: backtrack is not ubuntu
[22:03] <felixsulla> Yeah, a new link like other program would add.
[22:03]  * G-Blunted is helping people :)
[22:03] <stefg> dianewny: first thing willo be to figure out what's eating up the resources. look at the system monitor, sort by cpu time and look what's on top
[22:03] <AMPws> I'm sory, I'm tring to find, were is this..
[22:03] <dianewny> ok thanks
[22:03] <^hashbang^> me ^hashbang^ has been helping people all day =)
[22:03] <G-Blunted> AMPws: go to #remote-exploit <--- BackTrack channel
[22:03] <ikonia> AMPws: your currently in #ubuntu - for ubuntu support
[22:03]  * ^hashbang^ ^hashbang^ has been helping people all day =)
[22:04] <G-Blunted> he's gunna make me say it again...
[22:04] <G-Blunted> i can feel it
[22:04] <AMPws> where can I find BackTrack channel
[22:04] <G-Blunted> AMPws: go to #remote-exploit <--- BackTrack channel
[22:04] <ikonia> ^hashbang^: can we give the "/me" commands a break, you and G-Blunted are making more random noise than half the channel
[22:04] <G-Blunted> omg i knew it
[22:04] <prince_jammys> felixsulla: yes, you can. does the script have to run inside a terminal?
[22:04] <dianewny> my fourth day of using Ubuntu
[22:04] <prince_jammys> felixsulla: that is, does it print output to a terminal?
[22:04] <^hashbang^> ikonia: hmm, I did it 1 time... relax
[22:04] <brucealdridge> running jaunty, ran updated, rebooted, blank screen, can still login/ssh ... just no display.
[22:04] <ikonia> G-Blunted: you too please, calm down on the noise a bit, your doing great helping people, but a little random
[22:04] <ikonia> ^hashbang^: I'm asking nicely - your both making a lot of noise
[22:04] <ahmed> hey this is ubuntu channel??
[22:04] <felixsulla> prince_jammys hmm.. thats a good question. Let me run it.
[22:04] <ikonia> brucealdridge: join #ubuntu+1
[22:04] <ikonia> ahmed: it is
[22:05] <G-Blunted> ikonia, he asked about backtrack 3 times in a row....
[22:05] <brianrgn> is there any way to install programs that appear in "add/remove" without an internet connection to the linux computer? (_this_ computer clearly has internet connection)
[22:05] <ahmed> ok I have one ask
[22:05] <felixsulla> No its GUI alright.
[22:05] <ikonia> G-Blunted: I know - as I just said to ^hashbang^ your doing great helping - just keep the random comments/noise down please.
[22:05] <G-Blunted> kk sry np
[22:05] <stefg> ahmed: no this is #how-to-get rich-by-getting-one buck-for every-silly-question-asked
[22:05] <ikonia> appriciated
[22:05] <brucealdridge> ikonia: thanks
[22:05] <prince_jammys> felixsulla: then you can add it with the menu editor
[22:05] <^hashbang^> ikonia: how is 1 /me alot of noise...
[22:06] <ahmed> how can I install additional language??
[22:06] <brianrgn> ...
[22:07] <ahmed> I know but when I got the letter of the language I want where can I keep it??

[22:08] <ahmed> aha
[22:08] <ASrock> well i will be connecting from both a computer on the LAN and computers over the internet
[22:08] <^hashbang^> ASrock: how about VNC?
[22:09] <rww> !vnc | ASrock
[22:09] <stefg> ASrock: ubuntu has vino , a vnc-server. you'll need a vncviewer on the accessing machine
[22:09] <Cpudan80> stefg: vino probably wont work
[22:09] <Cpudan80> stefg: The way it is setup is very ... bad
[22:09] <Sarthor> i am wanat to setup up multip isps, getting here from http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html , how to define $IP1, $IF1 $IP2 etc etc. please need a hint.
[22:09] <stefg> ASrock: although i usually replace thet by x11vnc
[22:09] <ASrock> um...i dont follow...and is it possible to connect using a windows computer?
[22:10] <rww> ASrock: Yes, it is. Go read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH :)
[22:10] <Cpudan80> ASrock: yes, there are many VNC viewer things for windows
[22:10] <ASrock> how about tightvnc?
[22:10] <Cpudan80> any one of them will work, I like UltraVNC's viewer personalyl
[22:10] <G-Blunted> RealVNC
[22:11] <jp_sf> ah
[22:11] <jochenh> Hey! Can anyone please help me? My firefox shuts down directly!
[22:11] <Cpudan80> UltraVNC supports encryption (windows servers) so that's nice
[22:11] <G-Blunted> jochenh, after you do what
[22:11] <^hashbang^> jochenh: did you just finish installing a plugin?
[22:11] <jochenh> G-Blunted: after clicking on flash
[22:11] <G-Blunted> what flash?
[22:12] <ASrock> well for ultra vnc how do i go about installing it on the linux comp...is it in synaptic?
[22:12] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: yes I installed flash plugin 10 for 64bit
[22:12] <quentusrex> Anyone know how to solve ubuntu mic sound issues? Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'
[22:13] <jochenh> G-Blunted: adobe flash plugin 10 for 64bit
[22:13] <Sarthor> i want to setup up multip isps, getting help here from http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html , how to define $IP1, $IF1 $IP2 etc etc. please need a hint... CORRECTED AS MY KNOWLEDGE
[22:13] <boot_loop> how do I execute an executable file from the command line?
[22:13] <^hashbang^> jochenh: oh ok cool. So I take it if you go to youtube and click on a vid firefox will crash?
[22:13] <^hashbang^> boot_loop: ./filename
[22:13] <dianewny> funny now that I'm monitoring the CPU usage went down to 78%
[22:14] <boot_loop> hashbang: do I have to be in the directory of that file?
[22:14] <rww> boot_loop: ./filename if you're in the directory it's in. /path/to/file/filename if you're not.
[22:14] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: yes
[22:14] <^hashbang^> boot_loop: do a chmod +x filename to make sure you can excute it
[22:14] <dianewny> thanks
[22:14] <^hashbang^> hmm, not sure ...
[22:14] <boot_loop> it says "no such file or directory" but the file is right there
[22:15] <ASrock> stefg: i installed x11vnc what viewer should i install on the windows machine to control the ubuntu machine?
[22:15] <^hashbang^> boot_loop: not really you could do ./path/to/file
[22:15] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: I click on a flash vid or flash swf file
[22:15] <^hashbang^> boot_loop: or just /path/to/file without the . in front of /
[22:15] <nickrud_> ^hashbang^, not with the leading .
[22:15] <cphillips> amarok is insisting that my "collection folder" is my ipod, how can i change that to /home/Music?
[22:15] <^hashbang^> nickrud_: I corrected myself =)
[22:16] <hatter243> ASrock, UltraVNC is my preference, RealVNC is good as well...
[22:16] <nickrud_> ^hashbang^, dueling enter keys :)
[22:16] <^hashbang^> nickrud_: lol totally
[22:16] <ASrock> ok once i install that what will i need to do to connect?
[22:16] <ASrock> do i need to know my IP or what?
[22:16] <hatter243> ASrock, yes, you do need to know the IP of the machien you are attempting to connect to
[22:16] <G-Blunted> jochenh, edit your xorg.conf and comment out compistes
[22:16] <G-Blunted> that will fix your problem :)
[22:16] <ASrock> where do i configure x11vnc?
[22:17] <stefg> ASrock: make sure to uninstall vino then... two vnc-servers on the same machine usually do no good. There are several vncviewers for win available. try some, use the one you like best.
[22:17] <ASrock> stefg: where do i uninstal vino?
[22:17] <boot_loop> damnit, it keeps saying no such file or directory, but the file is there! lol
[22:17] <jochenh> G-Blunted: what are compistes? how do they look like? :)
[22:17] <stefg> ASrock: synaptic
[22:17] <rww> ASrock: For the *third* time, go read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#x11vnc . And no, you don't need to uninstall vino first.
[22:17] <kansan> is there a way to 'name' certain gnome-terminal instances?  or should i be using screen?
[22:17] <stefg> !software | ASrock
[22:18] <nickrud_> kansan, you can, by creating profiles. But screen is probably simpler
[22:18] <benkamin> just FYI: the problem before with extracting multiple tars: the problem was that i used ' instead of ` - wrong apostrophe.
[22:18] <^hashbang^> benkamin: nice work
[22:19] <^hashbang^> benkamin: I always got messed up with those when reading some webpages online...
[22:19] <jochenh> G-Blunted: what should I delete exactly?
[22:20] <abbronzato> is the Philips PCVC680K WebCam supported?
[22:20] <G-Blunted> do you see anything in there that says 'composite' or somethin to do with that extension?
[22:21] <G-Blunted> i couldn't really find it in mine :p

[22:22] <^hashbang^> boot_loop: doh! good catch
[22:22] <nefrin> Hello all, I think I did something to my system to screw it up, but I can't figure it out. Details are here in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6705889#post6705889      basically, I get the GRUB Splash and then nothing
[22:23] <boot_loop> thanks for your help hashbang
[22:23] <abbronzato> ^hashbang^, i already see it, but was about the mic not the webcam
[22:23] <Sarthor> i want to setup up multip isps, getting help here from http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html , how to define $IP1, $IF1 $IP2 etc etc. please need a hint... CORRECTED AS MY KNOWLEDGE

[22:23] <boot_loop> ls
[22:23] <trygg> How did I search for a package on apt-get?
[22:23] <G-Blunted> jochenh, hmm..okay i don't see so i got a different work around for you to try...
[22:24] <mo_bledhoz> tolong
[22:24] <george> nefrin i screwed up ubuntu by interrupting the shutdown screen. took 4 restarts and it started workin
[22:24] <nefrin> George --- I have gone through several reboots, just goes through the Splash and then hangs on a black screen with a cursor flashing
[22:24] <G-Blunted> jochenh, edit this file:  /usr/bin/firefox   <--and before the last line (which is launch line) add this without the quotes:  "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1"    Flash is conflicting with somethinn and this should turn it off
[22:25] <nefrin> George ---- plus the GRUB auto loader has stopped working, I have to manually choose my kernel each boot
[22:25] <^hashbang^> G-Blunted: couldn't you just place that in ~/.gnomerc
[22:25] <george> nef also when it prviously froze, control d made it go on..I no expert.
[22:25] <rww> trygg: apt-cache search packagename. Or, for more advanced / better searching, use aptitude search
[22:25] <stefg> nefrin: what happens if you try booting to recovery mode ?
[22:26] <nefrin> Stefg ---- full details are in the forum posting, but I get a lot of errors
[22:26] <Deamos> Anyone feeling like tackling some Samba in Naulitis problems? :)
[22:26] <nefrin> I have somehow screwed up my system, and I am not quite sure how it happened or how to fix it. Here's the layout:
[22:26] <nefrin> The GRUB Loader no longer counts down and auto boots, but takes me to the kernel screen so I have to choose which kernel.
[22:26] <nefrin> One I pick the kernel and continue loading, the Usplash booting screen displays just fine, then I get a black screen with a underscore cursor in the upper left hand corner. System will hang here forever, no GDM Login, keyboard is unresponsive except for holding down CTRL+ALT+DEL for several seconds, then it will reboot.
[22:26] <nefrin> The recent most kernel is 2.6.24-23-rt
[22:26] <FloodBot2> nefrin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:26] <nefrin> If I use the recovery mode kernel of the same type, I can resume normal boot and this is what I get:
[22:26] <jochenh> G-Blunted: okay done
[22:27] <G-Blunted> jochenh, restart firefox and see if it works
[22:27] <stefg> nefrin: seems your /boot/grub/menu.lst is gone or damaged. have you run sudo update-grub (and sudo update-initramfs -u just for good measure ) ?
[22:27] <G-Blunted> did you have to sudo to save that?
[22:27] <dopiwan> is there any software app similar to Ventrilo or Skype that is encrypted and can be hosted locally for free?
[22:27] <Sarthor> how to define $IP1=<IP_ADDRESS>
[22:28] <Deamos> Anyone wanna help me deal with Samba? :D
[22:28] <nefrin> stefg --- should I run it from LiveCD?
[22:28] <Zombie_Gaz> Trying to get ansi colours to show up properly in gnome-terminal. Anyone got any ideas?
[22:28] <G-Blunted> !justask | deamos
[22:28] <jochenh> G-Blunted: same error : http://pastebin.com/m27c945fc
[22:29] <stefg> nefrin: only if you chrooted to your installed system. but you should inspect /boot/grub/menu.lst on your installed system first. is it there? Does it look good ?
[22:29] <rww> Sarthor: $IP1, etc., on that page are just placeholders. You just substitute the real values for the placeholders in the command.
[22:29] <rww> Sarthor: It says that right there on the page.
[22:29] <Sarthor> rww, Ok.
[22:30] <Deamos> Ok, Trying to connect Using Nautilis to a network share via the Network Browser, It shows the workgroups but when I try to connect to the workgroup, it reports Unable to Mount Share.  I can connect by manually entering the IP address in the Network Browser Windows.
[22:30] <nefrin> stefg ---- that's the problem, I'm not sure how to get into my system because of the boot hang up after the splash
[22:30] <Zombie_Gaz> Trying to get ansi colours to show up properly in gnome-terminal. Do I need a certain font or to set my term? Anyone got any ideas?
[22:30] <G-Blunted> jochenh,  is that what happens when you view flash? or when you startup firefox?
[22:30] <dougofborg> DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0
[22:30] <stefg> nefrin: are you on Live CD on the broken system ?
[22:30] <jochenh> G-Blunted: when I click on a flash video or a flash app
[22:31] <nefrin> stefg ----- currently I am on a secondary laptop, but I can be booted up into liveCD on the trouble system in a few seconds
[22:31] <stefg> nefrin: since you were messing with usplash you might have broken the initrd
[22:31] <G-Blunted> hmm..lemme see...
[22:32] <nefrin> stefg ---- yeah, that will teach me my lesson about customizing boot screens
[22:32] <^hashbang^> jochenh: in firefox in the url bar type about:flash and imagebin that
[22:32] <kbrosnan> ^hashbang^: about:flash is not a valid about: page
[22:32] <rww> ^hashbang^, jochenh: about:flash isn't a valid URL. Try about:plugins

[22:36] <Deamos> Ok, Trying to connect Using Nautilis to a network share via the Network Browser, It shows the workgroups but when I try to connect to the workgroup, it reports Unable to Mount Share.  I can connect by manually entering the IP address in the Network Browser Windows. Any ideas how I can fix this?
[22:36] <Rencx> ^hashbang^ cant
[22:36] <^hashbang^> jochenh: man that is strange. I'm using the same plugin and I don't get the firefox crash... tho I do now notice I also have     File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 r15
[22:36] <alaz> Deamos, samba share?
[22:37] <Deamos> yes
[22:37] <^hashbang^> Rencx: what error did you get?
[22:37] <J6Dof> anyone to help me whith this : http://paste.org/index.php?id=5308 ?
[22:37] <Deamos> It will not get past the Workgroup listing
[22:37] <Deamos> But will connect if I manually type in the address in the window ie: smb://192.168.1.x/
[22:37] <Rencx> ^hashbang^ in terminal none with Shift+Delete Premision Diend
[22:38] <^hashbang^> Deamons: did you run sudo apt-get update link the output mentions at the bottom?
[22:38] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: thats because you have the nswrapperplugin one
[22:38] <nefrin> stefg ---- Ok, I'm up in LiveCD, if I try to run sudo update-grub in a terminal, it tells me there is no GRUB directory found
[22:38] <phoenixz> Every reboot I have a process "socket" taking up +95% of my CPU resources. the parent process is cups, and I suspect this is a print job I once accidentally sent to a print which no longer exists. How can I remove this job?? I can not find it anywhere, and killing off cups every restart isnt a solution either :)
[22:38] <^hashbang^> Rencx: in a terminal do sudo su - and then cd to the file and try removing it that way
[22:38] <G-Blunted> jochenh, hmm...i don't know....you don't got the compiste extension...which is the cause of this problem 90% of the time...
[22:39] <^hashbang^> jochenh: yes, which is now making me wonder, which on the browser is really using =)
[22:39] <Deamos> yes I did. all packages are updated, hash
[22:39] <nickrud_> ^hashbang^, you should suggest sudo -i rather than sudo su - (same results, consistent with #ubuntu policy)
[22:39] <Zombie_Gaz> Trying to get ansi colours to show up properly in gnome-terminal. Do I need a certain font or to set my term to something different? Anyone got any ideas?
[22:39] <G-Blunted> jochenh, you could try uninstalling libflash-mozplugin and instead use flashplugin-nonfree
[22:39] <stefg> nefrin: be aware that your installed system isn't even mounted yet... where's your system installed ? (/dev/sda1?)
[22:39] <^hashbang^> nickrud_: ah ok cool, did not know that.. sorry
[22:40] <^hashbang^> nickrud_: I'm old school.. =)
[22:40] <isase> Hmm.
[22:40] <isase> I can't get samba to work.
[22:40] <jochenh> G-Blunted: I dont use the libflash-mozplugin.I use this one : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[22:40] <nefrin> stefg ----- I've mounted my installed hard drive with the system (/media/disk) and am in the /boot/grub folder
[22:40] <Deamos> welcome to the boat, isase :)
[22:40] <isase> I installed all the necessary packages on two Ibex machines, they're on the same workgroup
[22:41] <isase> Daemos: LOL
[22:41] <aLeSD> hi what's the name of the flash plugin ?
[22:41] <isase> Yet they don't see each other's shared folders.
[22:41]  * Deamos feels a great need to stab Samba
[22:41] <jbuncher> Are there any kernel devs in here that could help me troubleshoot intel wireless connectivity?  Connecting to WPA Enterprise SSID Hidden with 2.6.24-23 always fails, but with 2.6.24-22 it always succeeds.  Bugreport and syslogs for failed and successful connection attempts are at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317976 .  Thanks for your time!
[22:41] <stefg> nefrin: is there a file menu.lst ?
[22:41] <alaz> Deamos, most of the time its login details thats the problem. samba is a shitty protocol
[22:41] <isase> I even turned off DHCP and assigned static IPs (which RUINED my nice little IP table)
[22:41] <solexious> Hello, my sound is only coming out as a crackly, works fine in windoes, can I reinstall sound on my system?
[22:41] <nefrin> stefg ---- I have a menu.lst and a menu.lst~ file both same file size and day time group in that folder
[22:41] <alaz> Deamos, is it a windows server that you are trying to access?
[22:41] <G-Blunted> jochenh,  i think i found it
[22:42] <Deamos> well, if it was login details it should be having an issue w/ Names to IPs
[22:42] <Deamos> Windows and Linux
[22:42] <stefg> nefrin: so that's /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst , right?
[22:42] <nefrin> stefg ---- that is correct
[22:42] <Coded_> I have a box thats running 8.10 that was set up without a wifi card and was using a crossover cable to get to the wan.  I took the wifi adapter out of the old machine and put it in the box im using now.  iwconfig picks it up but will not connect to my wep network (the command 'sudo iwconfig ath0 essid NetName key 12345678... && sudo dhclient ath0")
[22:42] <stefg> nefrin: so look what's in it
[22:42] <Rencx> ^hashbang^: rm: cannot remove `/home/user/Videos/BPI': Is a directory
[22:42] <jochenh> G-Blunted: that would be perfect
[22:42] <jp_sf> solexious: no need you could try to start alsamixer and pump up the volume
[22:42] <Coded_> I can get at it using the live cd though (what Im using now)
[22:43] <^hashbang^> Rencx: try rm -rf
[22:43] <G-Blunted> lol actually maybe not
[22:43] <Rencx> ^hashbang^: i crate folders throught kino in sudo mood
[22:43] <diginux> quick question, just upgraded to jaunty, ping can resolve ips, but ssh and firfox cannot, any suggestions?
[22:43] <G-Blunted> video/flv       Flash-Video     flv     Ja  <---this is Totem
[22:43] <Coded_> how can I get the packages I need and leave them on the partition for an "offline installation" ?
[22:43] <alaz> Coded_, what does your ifconfig print out?
[22:43] <G-Blunted> jochenh,  try uninstalling/disabling Totem
[22:44] <solexious> jp_sf, it is up, when muted no sound comes out, when not muted just some crackling comes out
[22:44] <Guest93484> hello
[22:44] <Guest93484> i have couple of questions regarding ubuntu
[22:44] <Coded_> alaz; "ifconfig ath0" shows the default mac / ipv6, but no ip or subnetting
[22:44] <isase> Bah, screw it. I'm just going to mount the shares using NFS. Samba blows.
[22:44] <Rencx> ^hashbang^: ty last one works.. what -rf do?
[22:44] <stefg> nefrin: do have network on the Live CD ?
[22:44] <nightrid3r> !ask | Guest93484
[22:44] <G-Blunted> jochenh, the flash plugin doesn't appear to be associated with .flv though, so i wouldn't think that would be a conflict...but maybe...
[22:44] <george> guest they jus want you to ask them..
[22:44] <nefrin> stefg -----I have wired network on Live CD
[22:45] <alaz> Coded_, and iwconfig?
[22:45] <jp_sf> solexious: could you try: alsamixer -Dhw
[22:45] <^hashbang^> Rencx: it mean to force and recursivly remove
[22:45] <jochenh> G-Blunted: i'll try
[22:45] <Guest93484> alright sorry :P
[22:45] <Guest93484> well
[22:45] <Guest93484> i have ubuntu on my dell mini
[22:45] <Guest93484> and everytime i try to install or update packages it keeps giving me errors
[22:45] <prince_jammys> Guest93484: all on one line
[22:45] <isase> xD
[22:45] <isase> What errors?
[22:45] <stefg> nefrin: so you might connect to this channel from the Live CD, too ... makes pasting to the pastebin easier
[22:45] <prince_jammys> Guest93484: otherwise your question gets chopped to bits and it's hard to read
[22:46] <Coded_> alaz: "sudo iwconfig" shows the essid, key (1234-1234-...) and security shows 'restricted' but I have tried setting that to open 'sudo iwconfig ath0 key open' and connecting but no response from the ap
[22:46] <jochenh> G-Blunted: same error...
[22:46] <Coded_> most of the stats: rx,tx ... are 0
[22:46] <G-Blunted> what did you do?
[22:46] <jochenh> G-Blunted: I disabled the totem plugin
[22:47] <Coded_> for some reason the gui apps seem to work but not from the cli
[22:47] <alaz> Coded_, so iwconfig ath0 shows that its connected to the wifi but theres no ip recieved?
[22:47] <G-Blunted> and restarted firefox and all that?
[22:47] <Coded_> alaz: i think it just shows the settings cause it shows "no associated"
[22:48] <Coded_> *not associated
[22:48] <jochenh> G-Blunted: it should be a Xserver problem
[22:48] <alaz> Coded_, it should be a pretty straigtforward thing to setup iwconfig. but remember that ifconfig also has to be setup in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:48] <anom01y> is there any way I can determine what is causing my X to crash.
[22:48] <alaz> anom01y, check /var/log/messages
[22:49] <G-Blunted> hmm, think so?
[22:49] <Coded_> alaz; I've done it before on 8.04 but I'm wondering if since there was no card in during install some necessary packages are not installed
[22:49] <jochenh> G-Blunted: yes because me-tv is crashing the same way
[22:49] <alaz> Coded_, what chipset does it use?
[22:49] <Coded_> i wanted to find a package cd so I could do an offline type of install
[22:50] <carpii> is there a vnc server i can run on ubuntu., that will let me connect from windows, using remote desktop?
[22:50] <nefrin2> stefg ---- this is nefrin up on LiveCD, never used paste bin before so not sure how, usually I just use the forums
[22:50] <Coded_> Atheros, its using the restricted driver in the driver manager
[22:50] <G-Blunted> me-tv?
[22:50] <stefg> nefrin2: look in /topic
[22:50] <G-Blunted> what is that?
[22:50] <stefg> !paste | nefrin
[22:50] <alaz> Coded_, if its atheros it should work out of the box i think. isnt it compiled straight into the kernel
[22:50] <M3TAPHYS1CS> hi guys im using a laptop with a rtl8187 driver which is having alot of problems with Ubuntu, ive read that ndiswrapper fixes this issue but ive had trouble following theguides and was wondering if anyone here who has experience would be willing to talk me thruough it
[22:50] <prince_jammys> anom01y: the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log might be of use
[22:50] <trygg> Anyone know what themes are used here? http://www.kimchikid.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/green-theme.jpg
[22:50] <^hashbang^> jochenh: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#amd64andppc
[22:51] <jochenh> G-Blunted: "A digital television (DVB) viewer for GNOME"
[22:51] <Coded_> alaz; the driver seems to be there and working 'iwlist ath0 scan' gives an accurate reading for the area
[22:51] <G-Blunted> hmm...crashes the same way huh>?
[22:51] <nefrin2> stefg ---- duh, I'm an idiot... that being said, you want my whole menu.lst pasted?
[22:51] <rww> M3TAPHYS1CS: I have rtl8187 too, tried NDISwrapper, and it didn't really work well at all. I ended up switching to ethernet instead =/
[22:51] <M3TAPHYS1CS> rww: *supersadface*
[22:52] <stefg> nefrin2: yeah ... to pastebin.
[22:52] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: i'll try, thanks
[22:52] <sinmok> Hey everyone. Just a simple question. I' can browse my vista partition and view the files, folders ect. However for some reason XLXS extention files dont appear (office 07 excel documents). Is there anyway i can get it to appear?
[22:52] <Coded_> is there a package that would handle the wep protocol ?
[22:52] <nefrin2> stefg ----- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116222/
[22:52] <stefg> k
[22:52] <alaz> Coded_, networkmanager is a gui
[22:52] <rww> M3TAPHYS1CS: Yeah, I know. What problems are you having with the regular driver? Random disconnects?
[22:53] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: "Be aware that this is pre-release software and there could be bugs." hmm could be the bug
[22:53] <M3TAPHYS1CS> rww yes i was getting that but it evenutally prevented my from using the internet at all..i would connect fine but couldnt access firefox or irc..
[22:53] <^hashbang^> jochenh: lol yea
[22:53] <anom01y> I am looking for information on how to set up ubuntu to run multiple users properly.
[22:53] <Coded_> alaz; you know what I never tried getting at it from a term I just figured it wasn't installed cause it wasn't showing up on the taskbar
[22:53] <^hashbang^> jochenh: that what I find so odd. I have an nvidia quadro fx card, amd64 9.04 and flash working fine.
[22:54] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: so I should try the 32bit one
[22:54] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: how did you installed your flash version
[22:54] <anom01y> as it is now, running two users is very unstable. X crashes quite frequently and I am unable to isolate the problem
[22:54] <^hashbang^> jochenH: well, at this point I think anything is worth trying =)
[22:54] <rww> M3TAPHYS1CS: Yeah. That's caused by a bug that's logged in both Ubuntu and the Linux Kernel's bugtrackers. Hopefully one day someone will get around to fixing it :(
[22:54] <anom01y> I have had this issue for years now.
[22:54] <stefg> nefrin2: hmmm ... looks good so far. so open a terminal and run mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev
[22:54] <eighthour> is there a good program for ubuntu for recovering data from a cd that is scratched to hell....???....
[22:54] <alaz> Coded_, can install it with apt-get install networkmanager i reckon
[22:54] <stefg> nefrin2: sudo !
[22:55] <ryanprior> anom01y: Ubuntu is pre-configured to naturally and easily handle multiple users. Is there anything specific you'd like to ask questions about?
[22:55] <Coded_> alaz; with no network connection though?
[22:55] <Coded_> :)
[22:55] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: how did you installed flash on your pc?
[22:55] <M3TAPHYS1CS> rww: the sooner the better brother =( so that basically rules out all distros then?
[22:55] <G-Blunted> jochenh, try sudo apt-get remove flashplayer-mozilla | sudo apt-get install libflash-mozplugin   and see if the different flash player still crashes firefox....if it does you can assume it's more related to X than to flash/firefox
[22:55] <ryanprior> eighthour: ddrecover is a good utility for that.
[22:55] <rww> M3TAPHYS1CS: Yeah, all the ones I've tried have had the same problem.
[22:55] <alaz> Coded_,  probably not... it should be on the cd though.
[22:55] <eighthour> ryanprior, thanks....
[22:55] <nefrin2> stefg ---- entered the command in sudo, it just put me back to a command prompt
[22:55] <^hashbang^> jochenh: once sec let me find the url
[22:55] <anom01y> ryanprior, I have two users, one runs compiz fusion, the other does not. For some reason I can't keep both users open for longer than 1/2 hour without one of them crashing and returning me to the login screen.
[22:55] <alaz> you tried execing networkmanager from bash
[22:56] <stefg> nefrin2: so it worked ...
[22:56] <Coded_> alaz; not yet I assumed I didn't have it :P ill go try it now
[22:56] <ryanprior> anom01y: Do you mean that you're using the "Switch user" functionality?
[22:56] <nefrin2> stefg ---- assume so, no errors
[22:56] <stefg> nefrin, now sudo mount -t proc none /media/disk/proc
[22:57] <anom01y> ryanprior, yes
[22:57] <anom01y> ctrl alt f7 and f9
[22:57] <M3TAPHYS1CS> rww: thanks for the information..maybe ill wake up tomorrow and a new drivers been released ^_^
[22:57] <zmiq> hi, I have some trouble with xorg-intel driver, but found a patch that solves it. Can anyone tell me where to find instructions to apply the patch and recompile by miself?
[22:57] <nefrin2> stefg ----- same as before, went straight back to command line
[22:57] <Guest10071> I currently have a dell mini with ubuntu installed on it, I am not able to install any packages because of the errors i keep getting, and i am not able to install openoffice on my netbook either, does anyone know how to fix the errors that are coming up?
[22:57] <anom01y> but quite often I find that one of the sessions is no longer open and I always need to re-log in. I must do this 10 times a day.
[22:58] <sinmok> Hey everyone. Just a simple question. I' can browse my vista partition and view the files, folders ect. However for some reason XLXS extention files dont appear (office 07 excel documents). Is there anyway i can get it to appear?
[22:58] <stefg> nefrin2: taht's fine... we just mounted /dev and /proc to the installed system in preparation of a chroot (change root)
[22:58] <ryanprior> anom01y: I don't know much about how those feature work, unfortunately. Out of interest, have you tried the same thing with a different distro?
[22:59] <^hashbang^> jochenh: I can't find the url. I installed from the adobe labs site http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[22:59] <stefg> nefrin now 'cd /media/disk'  then 'chroot .'
[22:59] <rww> M3TAPHYS1CS: The bug report to keep an eye on is https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/182473 , by the way. There's something at the bottom of that about it maybe getting fixed soon, but it isn't the first time that's been said, so I'm not rolling out the parade yet. Hopefully, though :)
[22:59] <anom01y> yes I seem to get the same problem with debian
[22:59] <stefg> nefrin2: now 'cd /media/disk'  then 'sudo chroot .'
[22:59] <anom01y> I have had this issue for over a year now.
[22:59] <anom01y> not sure if its compiz, wine, or alsa.
[22:59] <M3TAPHYS1CS> rww: yeah i have had a look through that before but its bookmarked now..i shall check daily =)
[23:00] <eighthour> ryanprior, where do i get that from....???....not in synaptic and download not showing up in google....
[23:00] <anom01y> could be firefox too, or flash..
[23:00] <jochenh> G-Blunted: this version dont have youtube support
[23:00] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: thanks
[23:00] <nefrin2> stefg ---- ok, I went from ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/disk$  TO root@ubuntu:/#
[23:01] <stefg> nefrin2: ok, now you are in your installed system
[23:01] <^hashbang^> jochenh: np
[23:01] <G-Blunted> jochenh, try this one  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[23:01] <G-Blunted> im not sure if it has youtube support tho..
[23:01] <G-Blunted> i just know it's another flash plugin :)
[23:01] <stefg> nefrin2: now run update-grub
[23:01] <anom01y> ryanprior, do you have any suggestions on how I could isolate this problem ??? I was considering removing the other user and just using one, but thats a retarded solution and doesnt do anything to prevent others from having this problem
[23:01] <Necrogamemaster> Hello everyone
[23:01] <jochenh> G-Blunted: thats the flash plugin i'm using
[23:01] <kjell> Hello Necrogamemaster
[23:02] <jochenh> G-Blunted: adobe flash plugin 10 for 64bit
[23:02] <ryanprior> anom01y: I don't understand what's going on under the hood there well enough to be helpful, unfortunately.
[23:02] <felixsulla> If a machine has windows on it now, can you add Ubuntu to a new partition?
[23:02] <jochenh> G-Blunted: what flash plugin are you using?
[23:02] <Necrogamemaster> what are we discussing?
[23:02] <G-Blunted> is that non-free one the one that comes from adobe?
[23:02] <nefrin2> stefg ----- results of command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116223/
[23:02] <G-Blunted> hmm lemme see
[23:02] <jp_sf> felixsulla: yes
[23:02] <jochenh> G-Blunted: yes
[23:02] <FactTech> Question: Is this a good place to ask a network-manager question, or is there a more specialized channel?
[23:03] <DIFH-ice1oot> FactTech: just ask the question
[23:03] <felixsulla> jp_sf: How would you format the new partition?
[23:03] <^hashbang^> FactTech: this one is fine
[23:03] <jp_sf> !topic | Necrogamemaster
[23:03] <Necrogamemaster> We always try to help
[23:03] <G-Blunted> File name: libflashplayer.so -> Shockwave Flash 10.0 r15...
[23:03] <G-Blunted> i don't know what the package is named tho...lemme see
[23:03] <diginux> quick question, my network works, i can ssh to an ip, and ping a hostname, but cant ssh to a hostname
[23:03] <jochenh> G-Blunted: thats flashplugin-nonfree
[23:04] <jp_sf> felixsulla: usually people use a boot CD, meaning they boot from the CD and then follow the steps to install Linux, choosing to "dual-boot" with windows (if you still need it)
[23:04] <phoenixz> Every reboot I have a process "socket" taking up +95% of my CPU resources. the parent process is cups, and I suspect this is a print job I once accidentally sent to a print which no longer exists. How can I remove this job?? I can not find it anywhere, and killing off cups every restart isnt a solution either :)
[23:04] <eighthour> ryanprior, where can i get ddrecover....???....
[23:04] <^hashbang^> jochenh: I don't have that installed. I installed from the adobe site... so when I look in synaptic I see nofree listed but not installed
[23:04] <G-Blunted> ah
[23:04] <FactTech> Question: I have two network cards on my machine. One is connected to the internet and one to a local LAN. I'm trying to get internet connection sharing to computers on the local LAN... Network Manager sees the internet side and connects just fine via DHCP. However, the local LAN does not come up correctly when set to "shared to other computers".
[23:04] <stefg> nefrin2: looks good...  and just for good measure we'll run dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic (not the *-rt kernel). and try to boot that then
[23:05] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: yes I did the same
[23:05] <ryanprior> eighthour: I can't find where using Google, and I don't know where I got my copy. Shame, because it's exactly what you're looking for.
[23:05] <FactTech> ifconfig shows that the interface is seen, but no IP4 address is assigned.
[23:05] <^hashbang^> jochenh: hmmmm. *bangs head*
[23:05] <jp_sf> phoenixz: lprm -
[23:05] <FactTech> I can manually assign one, but this does not seem to result in the sharing of the internet connection.
[23:05] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: but your file name is an other?
[23:05] <ryanprior> eighthour: I see lots of results on Google of people talking about how great it is or how they used it, but I can't find a download link.
[23:05] <anom01y> ryanprior, ok I got this error message..
[23:05] <anom01y> "caught signal 11: server aborting"
[23:05] <^hashbang^> jochenh:? the one from adobes's website?
[23:05] <anom01y> "xinit: connection to server lost"
[23:06] <eighthour> ryanprior, same here....
[23:06] <FactTech> Any clues why the "shared to other computers" setting wouldn't be working?
[23:06] <^hashbang^> jochenh: I pulled http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[23:06] <anom01y> that was what is displayed when I go ctrl-alt-f1
[23:06] <anom01y> (which is the session I am using for the second user, which just crashed).
[23:06] <phoenixz> jp_sf: returns prompt.. is normal?
[23:06] <nefrin2> stefg ---- ran the dpkg http://paste.ubuntu.com/116232/   --- when I reboot, I am guesing that I will want to chose the <IP_ADDRESS>-generic kernel to boot with?
[23:06] <phoenixz> jp_sf: socket is still there..
[23:07] <jp_sf> phoenixz: your cupsd is running ? what top is stating ?
[23:07] <trygg> Where is the grub file located if you boot from the hdd?
[23:07] <stefg> nefrin2: yup... but first we're going to rewrite the mbr
[23:07] <phoenixz> jp_sf: just restarted cups, did lprm -, top shows "socket" process @ +95%
[23:07] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: yes I use the same
[23:07] <stefg> nefrin2: now out of the chroot again... press ctrl-d
[23:07] <maverickprowls> Hello all
[23:07] <^hashbang^> jochenh: have you tried the links I sent you?
[23:08] <ryanprior> eighthour: Found it! http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
[23:08] <nefrin2> stefg ---- back to: ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/disk$
[23:08] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: hmm I'll try the 32 one
[23:08] <ryanprior> eighthour: I think ddrecover was an older Unix utility.
[23:08] <jp_sf> phoenixz: you have the pid ? of the process ?
[23:08] <^hashbang^> jochenh: ok
[23:08] <stefg> nefrin2: good now run 'sudo grub'
[23:08] <nefrin2> stefg ---- done
[23:08] <stefg> nefrin2: you'll get a grub prompt
[23:09] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: I think this once help me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#amd64andppc thanks for that
[23:09] <stefg> nefrin2: at the grub-prompt type'find /boot/grub/stage1' and tell me what turns up
[23:09] <^hashbang^> jochenh: ok so you can play flash now?
[23:09] <Kakinho> Indo ao banhu...
[23:09] <phoenixz> jp_sf: yeah, I can kill it if I'd like to but.. the problem is that I have to do thaht every reboot and I don't want to do that anymore.. the (@#*@(* print job just has to piss off
[23:09] <nefrin2> stefg ---- (hd1,0)
[23:09] <trygg> How do I know what device is mounted on a HDD?
[23:10] <jochenh> ^hashbang^: not until now, but i'll try the 32bit version
[23:10] <rww> !ohmy | phoenixz
[23:10] <anom01y> ryanprior, is it normal that the cpu spikes whenever I switch users ? I notice it shoots up to like 80% every time.
[23:10] <^hashbang^> jochenh: oh ok ...
[23:10] <nightrid3r> !br | Kakinho
[23:10] <eighthour> ryanprior, thanks anyway....
[23:10] <stefg> nefrin2: ok .. now 'root (hd1,0)' then 'setup (hd1)'
[23:10] <phoenixz> rww: pardon my french
[23:10] <jochenh> G-Blunted: I'll try the 32bit version, thanks for your help until now
[23:10] <jp_sf> phoenixz: are you sure it is a print job ?
[23:10] <Omar> Hello, I try to install xilinx ISE webpack on my ubuntu
[23:10] <ryanprior> eighthour: Did you see that I found what you're looking for?
[23:11] <phoenixz> jp_sf: yes.. ps -F PID gives me cups as parent
[23:11] <ryanprior> eighthour: ddrescue should probably work.
[23:11] <diginux> everyone, i have asked my question twice now, no one will answer, is there a better place to ask my question?
[23:11] <jochenh> G-Blunted: looks like the 64bit version has bugs
[23:11] <nefrin2> stefg ----- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116235/
[23:11] <Omar> but the CD (attached with xilinx kit) contain installer only for Red Hat Linux
[23:11] <Omar> what can I do???
[23:11] <stefg> nefrin2: brilliant ... now try rebooting
[23:11] <Omar> to install it on ubuntu
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> jochenh NOt really bugs, but more to learn and very little advantage even when you do run 64  bit
[23:12] <nefrin2> stefg ---- will do, I will still be in chat as "nefrin" incase anything goes wrong
[23:12] <ryanprior> anom01y: I truly have no clue what happens when you switch users and leave the session for one of them running. I've never done it in my life - I always log off - and I've never bothered to look at how it works under the hood, so asking me these questions will get you nowhere. I suggest that you start reading, googling, investigating, etc.
[23:12] <stefg> nefrin2: i didn't forget that :-)
[23:12] <jochenh> looks like there's an error between my hardware and 64bit plugin
[23:12] <eighthour> ryanprior, no....sorry....i was still looking myself....thanks....
[23:12] <G-Blunted> ya
[23:12] <nightrid3r> !alien
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Omar Patience.  ask a full and complete question..  and DONT try to install redhat linux software on  or in Uubntu
[23:12] <bernz> hi! i have a typical PC, nothing too fancy, *except* a PCI USB 2.0 expansion card; 'intrepid' installed fine, and stuff's good, except my mobo USB ports aren't fully functional; they're powered (i can charge stuff), but inserted devices don't register, and make no noise in '/var/log/messages' (which i've follow-tailed before plugging); devices plugged into the expansion card DO make noise in the log... it's like the mobo's host(s) are not getting initialized.
[23:12] <trygg> Let me rephrase that, where do I see how the HDDs are mounted?
[23:13] <jp_sf> phoenixz: and if you issue a lpstat -o
[23:13] <CJ__> What's the command to make a sha256 hash of a given string?
[23:13] <m4rtin> is there a sctor mode using ntfsresize?
[23:13] <ryanprior> trygg: /etc/fstab
[23:13] <phoenixz> jp_sf: nothing.. returns to promppt
[23:13] <SkEmO> hi!
[23:13] <m4rtin> *sector
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> trygg mount in a term, but it brings up everything
[23:13] <jp_sf> phoenixz: then it means the queue is empty
[23:14] <SkEmO> i have kubuntu 7.10, if i upgrade to 8.10, will i loose all my info?
[23:14] <jp_sf> phoenixz: sis you submitt a job as root or as aanother user ?
[23:14] <Omar> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, so I can't install xilinx ISE webpack on my ubuntu??? because I have only Windows installer and Red Hat installer in the CD, so what can I do
[23:14] <jp_sf> phoenixz: did you submitt a job as root or as aanother user ?
[23:14] <phoenixz> jp_sf: AFAIK, as my own user..
[23:14] <jp_sf> phoenixz: then it is not a job
[23:14] <phoenixz> jp_sf: maybe I sent it as root by accident.. dunno
[23:14] <SkEmO> !upgrade
[23:14] <phoenixz> let me check lpstat as root
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Omar I have no idea what you are trying to install. but alien is a bad choice
[23:14] <ryanprior> CJ__: You can use openssl to perform that hash.
[23:15] <^hashbang^> Omar: Xilinx is only supported or RHEL and will run on CentOS 32/64bit outside of that.. good luck
[23:15] <phoenixz> jp_sf: nothing either...
[23:15] <ryanprior> CJ__: man openssl
[23:15] <phoenixz> jp_sf: but then.. its cups that creates the socket process, cups is thhe parent process
[23:15] <CJ__> ryanprior: alright, thanks
[23:15] <shay26m> Hello , how can i set the swap size in Ubuntu ?
[23:16] <Omar> Jack_Sparrow: ^hashbang^: OK... thanks
[23:16] <Jack_Sparrow> shay26m gparted is the usual way to set the size of your swap partition
[23:16] <trygg> Jack_Sparrow: Ah there we go. How do I know which ones of the /dev/sd** is what when trying to configure GRUB?
[23:16] <^hashbang^> Omar: np
[23:16] <bernz> (another vote for gparted)
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> trygg sda1 id hd0,0
[23:17] <bernz> shay26m, keep in mind if you are going to use 'hibernate', your swap needs to be at least as big as your RAM and then some
[23:17] <trygg> What would /dev/sdb1 be?
[23:17] <dou213> can somebody help me set up my ftp-server correctly? i am behind my router, trying to connect with FileZilla within the lan on an ubuntu server box, when i connect unencrypted it works just fine, when i do it with SSL it gives me an error: Connection timed out!
[23:17] <[TiZ]> Hi. I'm trying to uninstall some old kernels in intrepid. But I get errors when I try to do so. "Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic, linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic". Can anyone help me out?
[23:17] <stefg> nefrin: how's things going ?
[23:17] <trygg> Jack_Sparrow: hd1,0 right?
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> trygg hd1,0
[23:17] <nefrin> stefg ----- not quit working, http://paste.ubuntu.com/116237/
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[23:17] <trygg> Alright, thanks Jack_Sparrow.
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> trygg pm me if you need more help withthat
[23:18] <dou213> i am using vsftpd
[23:18] <nefrin> stefg ---- hand typed that in while looking at the screen from my secondary laptop
[23:18] <psufan> hi
[23:18] <^hashbang^> hi
[23:18] <shay26m> Jack_Sparrow: what are the steps in order to create swap ? (when i installed Ubuntu i didnt created the swap . when i go to system monitor swap : 0 bytes (0.0%) of 0 bytes ?
[23:19] <psufan> how do i edit MS access on ubuntu?
[23:19] <Jack_Sparrow> shay26m It creates swap by default.  YOuwill need to shrink arnother partition in order to make swap..  Please tell me this isnt one of those Wubi insta;;s
[23:19] <DIFH-ice1oot> psufan: openoffice i think
[23:19] <ryanprior> psufan: What does MS stand for?
[23:19] <DIFH-ice1oot> ryanprior: microsoft
[23:19] <psufan> ryanprior: Micro Soft
[23:19] <Stroganoff> shay26m: use gparted (perhaps livecd) to resize your linux partition and create a swap partition, and add the swap partition to fstab
[23:20] <psufan> open offices will do Access?
[23:20] <psufan> can it do VBA?
[23:20] <ryanprior> psufan: So, you mean Microsoft Access, the database product? In that case, I think OpenOffice.org Base can open those files.
[23:20] <evon> anyone here using e17?
[23:20] <theacolyte> I'm trying to get my 2nd monitor with display port working (NVIDIA) - it seems like the display is disabled and I can't enable it
[23:20] <DIFH-ice1oot> psufan: dont know, you can also use ms office with ubuntu and wine
[23:20] <stefg> nefrin: hmmm... so i'm pretty positive that grub and kernel are there... the only thing that annoyed me was that grub reported (hd1,0) instead of (hd0,0) ... the other possibly thing can be filesystem damage
[23:20] <ryanprior> psufan: I think the very latest version of Base can do some VBA stuff, but I doubt the coverage is complete yet.
[23:20] <psufan> WINE????
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> evon e17 as in the livecd or enlightenment the desktop
[23:20] <Stroganoff> evon: go to #enlightenment
[23:20] <^hashbang^> psufan: wine?
[23:20] <psufan> WHAT
[23:21] <stefg> nefrin: so boot up the CD agian, but don't mount the installed system
[23:21] <psufan> MS Office is nto very relaxing
[23:21] <nefrin> stefg ---- I think that it reported hd1,0 because I have a second hard drive in that computer that boots windows XP
[23:21] <evon> Jack_Sparrow: I am using it as a desktop. I'm having trouble setting up wireless in ozos
[23:21] <rww> !wine | psufan
[23:21] <shay26m> Jack_Sparrow: does it possible to create the swap partition without the livecd ? (i dont have here  right now the cd)
[23:21] <Jack_Sparrow> evon Wrong channel for support
[23:21] <anom01y> is there any way from preventing a session from being logged out, or crashed, so it is more secure and will always be "on" ??
[23:22] <ryanprior> shay26m: You can create a swap partition using gparted.
[23:22] <Jack_Sparrow> shay26m Not your best choice.  you cant resize while it is mounted
[23:22] <anom01y> so that if someone comes up to the computer and screws with it my session won't crash all the time ?
[23:22] <^hashbang^> shay26m: download gpartd burn to cd and then reboot your computer with the cd and resize your harddrive to fit a swap partition
[23:22] <ryanprior> Jack_Sparrow: Could mount as read-only.
[23:22] <stefg> nefrin: and that could cause confusion... some BIOS's flip the numbering around when you choose a different boot device... so grun looks at hd0,  while the bios thinks it's hd1 in grub-speak
[23:22] <DIFH-ice1oot> shay26m: swap must not be an extra partition it can also be a file on an existing partition
[23:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ryanprior No you cant
[23:23] <ryanprior> Jack_Sparrow: Oh. Nevermind then. =X
[23:23] <shay26m> Jack_Sparrow: i have also windows vista partition i can resize the partition and use the space for the Ubuntu swap right ?
[23:23] <SkEmO> atheros wireless cards work with ubuntu 8.10?
[23:23] <evon> how do i change channels?
[23:23] <Cpudan80> Does anyone know of a decent pandora desktop thing for linux ?
[23:23] <Jack_Sparrow> shay26m yes, but you will screw up fstab, grub and probably your mbr
[23:23] <nightrid3r> SkEmO: yes
[23:23] <DIFH-ice1oot> evon: /join #channelname
[23:23] <nefrin> stefg ----- that could be it, I'm booted back into LiveCD
[23:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80 I use pandora in firefox in ubuntu
[23:23] <SkEmO> oh
[23:24] <SkEmO> thanks nightrid3r
[23:24] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah that works, but I'd kinda like to have a desktop client thing
[23:24] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: they have a windows vista panel applet which is kinda nice
[23:24] <stefg> nefrin: run 'sudo fdisk -l ' and show the output on pastebin
[23:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80 that isnt pandora
[23:24] <Cpudan80> its not?
[23:24] <kjell> :D
[23:24] <Cpudan80> It says it is... it looks like it is .... works with my pandora account
[23:25] <ex0a> i'm getting a syslog error about a file not existing even though it's there: execv( /glftpd/bin/glftpd ) failed: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
[23:25] <ex0a> any ideas how to correct that?
[23:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80 Someones implememtation of it..
[23:25] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: Actually this was for Win7 now that I think about it
[23:25] <Cpudan80> oh
[23:25] <Cpudan80> I see
[23:26] <nefrin2> stefg ----- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116241/
[23:26] <stefg> nefrin: wait... the message you received are already kernel messages... so grub got it right, i think it's an initrd problem
[23:26] <ex0a> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1461252 2009-02-09 17:47 /glftpd/bin/glftpd <- shows the file is there and proper perms
[23:26] <akorpija> Anybody know the major window navigators? Like AWN, Cairo, and what else? I'm convinced i was using something before i formatted my HD thatw asn't either of those but was killer
[23:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80 we use pandora at the office.  Works great. until someone opens up a second copy and two songs start playing throgh the sound system
[23:27] <Cpudan80> lol
[23:27] <Jon0> akorpija, do you mean window managers?
[23:27] <Cpudan80> oops
[23:27] <stefg> nefrin2: but just to make sure we'll run sudo fsck /dev/sdb1
[23:27] <ryanprior> akorpija: Gnome-Do perhaps?
[23:28] <stefg> nefrin2: make sure it's not mounted
[23:28] <Jack_Sparrow> akorpija http://xwinman.org/
[23:28] <nefrin2> stefg ---- running now, it isn't mounted
[23:28] <ryanprior> Jack_Sparrow: Not window managers. Dock programs.
[23:28] <mib_rxo3tt> Hey, I would like to boot from my flash drive. How do I copy my Ubuntu ISO file to my flash drive and make it able to be booted from (formatted correctly)?
[23:29] <akorpija> no i mean like navigators like AWN and Cairo-Dock
[23:29] <eraldo> need help getting wifi to work on openWrt... I have no idea why it does not work. please someone help me out
[23:29] <ryanprior> mib_rxo3tt: System -> Administration -> Create a USB Startup Disk
[23:29] <ASrock> what command should i use in the terminal to find out my ip address on the network?
[23:29] <psufan> how many floppies does UBUNTU take up?
[23:29] <wassy121> ASrock: ifconfig
[23:29] <dou213> hi guys, just wandering how i can change the HISTSIZE? with export HISTSIZE='nr' like 3000?
[23:29] <mib_rxo3tt> ryanprior: Where is system?
[23:29] <^hashbang^> psufan: floppies?
[23:29] <wassy121> ASrock: or, visit www.whatismyip.com for your external IP.
[23:29] <psufan> yes
[23:29] <zaapiel-mobile> is there a gnome k3b style app?
[23:29] <^hashbang^> psufan: your joking right? do people still use those?
[23:29] <psufan> no, yes
[23:29] <ex0a> anyone know why a file would show up as "no such file or dir" in syslog even though it's there?
[23:30] <^hashbang^> psufan: well, a default install is 2.7G so I guess a whole lot of floppies
[23:30] <wassy121> psufan: Ubuntu, just to boot it and get networking can fit on 1 floppy.
[23:30] <ryanprior> mib_rxo3tt: It's at the top of the screen, near Applications and Places.
[23:30] <psufan> this PC has no networking
[23:30] <psufan> which is why i am using floppies
[23:30] <wassy121> psufan: but, you have to format it properly.  From there you will need to go through a "real" install.
[23:30] <andresmauricio> hola
[23:30] <mib_rxo3tt> ryanprior: ... I'm running Windows XP
[23:30] <ryanprior> psufan: About 280 floppies.
[23:30] <wassy121> psufan: try a USB stick too.  More space.
[23:31] <ryanprior> mib_rxo3tt: Ah, In that case, I know there are tutorials out there if you google.
[23:31] <mib_rxo3tt> ryanprior: I'm mentioning this in a Ubuntu Chatroom because I'm trying to get Ubuntu to work
[23:31] <^hashbang^> ryanprior: nice man... I was to lazy to do the math
[23:31] <mib_rxo3tt> ryanprior: Ah, where can I find these?
[23:31] <psufan> no USB
[23:31] <psufan> can i get a PS2 stick?
[23:31] <wassy121> psufan: You can also get real fancy and install via serial cable, printer cable, crossover ethernet to your other computer, etc.
[23:31] <poseidon> ~netbeans
[23:31] <DIFH-ice1oot> psufan: no there is no ps2 stick
[23:32] <poseidon> !netbeans
[23:32] <porter1> hello, does anyone know if gnome turns pidgin to away status if the computer is in screensaver? Or if there's a way teo do this?
[23:32] <andresmauricio> bo
[23:32] <mib_rxo3tt> ryanprior: I can't just drag the ISO file into the USB drive?
[23:32] <psufan> ok I have a printer cable now what
[23:32] <ryanprior> mib_rxo3tt: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=install+Ubuntu+on+flash+drive
[23:32] <wassy121> porter1: I think that is a function of the new 8.10 ubuntu.
[23:32] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_rxo3tt no
[23:32] <porter1> 8.10 or 9.04?
[23:32] <^hashbang^> mib_rxo3tt: no...
[23:32] <stefg> nefrin: another possibility is: your linux drive is quite large. you might suffer from a 'out of range' problem. if you write a new initrd (which happens when you mess with usplash) the initrd might get written far to the rear of the disk.grub/bios might not be able to reach that far back on the disk, b/c the don't have large enough address space
[23:32] <^hashbang^> mib_rxo3tt: it doesn't work that way.
[23:32] <wassy121> psufan: read lots of old docs about how to get PC-to-PC communications over a printer cable.
[23:33] <mib_rxo3tt> ryanprior: Nice website =D. I'm gonna use it.
[23:33] <wassy121> psufan: like, lots of docs unfortunately:(
[23:33] <psufan> what
[23:33] <^hashbang^> wassy121: whoa... now that's oldschool! =)
[23:33] <stefg> nefrin: how old ist that machine, how old is the bios ?
[23:33] <wassy121> psufan: letmegooglethatforyou.com
[23:33] <^hashbang^> wassy121: lmao
[23:33] <poseidon> Is there a package for netbeans 6.5?
[23:33] <psufan> what
[23:34] <nefrin2> stefg ---- machine is a couple of years old, last time I updated bios was about 1 year ago (just before switching to ubuntu from Vista)
[23:34] <DIFH-ice1oot> poseidon: apt-cache search netbeans will tell you
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !find netbeans
[23:34] <ryanprior> LOL
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !info netbeans
[23:34] <ex0a> anyone know how i can fix a syslog error about a file not existing even though it's there?: execv( /glftpd/bin/glftpd ) failed: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
[23:34] <poseidon> netbeans gives me netbeans 6.0.1
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> poseidon that is the current stable from our repos
[23:34] <psufan> can i use a PS2 cable to install UBUNTU
[23:35] <Jack_Sparrow> psufan np
[23:35] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[23:35] <poseidon> 6.5 has been out for a while right now.  I would think that a package would have been put in the stable repos by now
[23:35] <nefrin2> stefg ---- I've also had a problem with the large hard drive issue for grub loading, but think I have fixed that problem
[23:35] <wassy121> psufan: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PLIP-Install-HOWTO.html#toc8 might be a good start
[23:35] <psufan> um
[23:35] <xoox> My filesystem was remounted read only. How do I check why (/var/log/messages is empty)?
[23:35] <stefg> nefrin2: would taking a backup and repartitioning the drive be an option? Anyway it's a good idea of having the system and your /home separate
[23:35] <^hashbang^> wassy121: remember "laplink" hehe
[23:35] <luddite> G'day all - I have 8.04 (ext2 /dev/sdc2 with swap on /dev/sdc1) and 8.10 on extended partition /dev/sdc3 as ->(ext3 /dev/sdc5 with swap on /dev/sdc6. I am worried about deleting 8.04 (/dev/sdc2 and 1). What should i do?
[23:35] <psufan> what is PLIP
[23:35] <adaptr> psufan: like SLIP, but different
[23:35] <genii> psufan: paralel port IP
[23:36] <wassy121> psufan: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=plip :)
[23:36] <nefrin2> stefg ---- repartitioning would be an option, though a last option hopefully
[23:36] <wassy121> psufan: it is for parallel port cable communications between two machines.  You can use it to install linux.
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 I missed the question you had?
[23:36] <psufan> um
[23:36] <stefg> nefrin2: how's the fsck going? any errors up to now?
[23:36] <psufan> can i use my GAME PORT?
[23:36] <psufan> that may be easier if it is serial
[23:37] <nefrin2> stefg --- was just remarking that GRUB loading errors are also an issue of having a large hard drive, have had those in the past
[23:37] <^hashbang^> psufan: how old is this system?
[23:37] <psufan> the 90s
[23:37] <genii> psufan: If your computer has no cd, no usb, and just a floppy... you can network it by parallel port cable (sometimes called LapLink cable) and install that way from a second box which also understands PLIP and acts as a n apt-proxy or so
[23:37] <^hashbang^> psufan: so like a 386? 486?
[23:37] <psufan> genli: it's not a laptop
[23:37] <nefrin2> stefg ---- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116245/
[23:38] <mcgohenn> it doesn't need to be a laptop for laplink cable sto work
[23:38] <^hashbang^> psufan: your best bet is laplink
[23:38] <stefg> nefrin2: I tell you what: The longer i think about it, the more i'm convinced that you should make up a better partition scheme for that box
[23:38] <genii> psufan: I did not state anywhere that this process is limited to laptops
[23:38] <wassy121> psufan: the "game port" is normally yellow, and is also normally a "midi port".
[23:38] <psufan> I can use MIDI to install UBUNTU?
[23:38] <genii> psufan: No
[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> psufan Please read our link on all the many ways to install.
[23:38] <^hashbang^> psufan: hmm, doubt it... serial is your option
[23:38] <wassy121> psufan: you may have a grey or black 12-pin female back there which is a serial port.  That can be used.
[23:38] <adaptr> psufan: you can't install anything without physical access
[23:38] <stefg> nefrin2: yeak.. so filesystem is fine... i'm pretty sure now that your 500G partition is simply too much
[23:39] <psufan> I am going to use this as a car computer
[23:39] <nefrin2> stefg ---- yeah, I think that I need a better partition scheme as well
[23:39] <psufan> I've removed the right side seat
[23:39] <psufan> to put this computer
[23:39] <nefrin2> stefg ---- I need a few minutes to mount that drive and recover any important files from it
[23:39] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 did you pastebin your fdisk -l already
[23:39] <wassy121> psufan: use a newer system for Solid State Drives.  Old-school spinny hard drives get Fed up by the bumps.
[23:39] <adaptr> what is it, a friggin Cray 1 ?
[23:39] <psufan> is there a way to instead use the car management system as my UBUNTU car PC box?
[23:40] <wassy121> psufan: it would require super extra lotsa hacks.
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> psufan No.  please read our docs
[23:40] <cdeszaq1> How can I execute a custom script from a post-commit subversion hook? I keep running into permissions errors. The script is simple...cd into a working copy, run svn update. That's it. But it seems that I cannot get the permissions set right because the update fails every time, even with 777 permissions
[23:40] <jillian> I'm upgrading my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and have noticed that my sound has gone...Is this going to be fixed once the download is complete?
[23:40] <stefg> nefrin2: like 256MB /boot , 20G / (root) , 2G swap , rest /home
[23:40] <cdeszaq1> \nick cdeszaq
[23:40] <psufan> wassy121: please give me a push in a direction
[23:40] <wassy121> psufan: you could control the machine with the dashboard switches if you are crafty enough.
[23:40] <bradly> Anyone know ubuntu puts slapd.conf by default?
[23:40] <nefrin2> Jack_Sparrow ---- yes, here it is again http://paste.ubuntu.com/116247/
[23:40] <bradly> *know where
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 ty
[23:40] <^hashbang^> cdeszaql: pastbin your script
[23:40] <wassy121> psufan: hacks are things you have to figure out yourself unfortunately :(
[23:41] <Mike_92> Does Ubuntu come with a VNC client?
[23:41] <psufan> ok i'm removing my cruise controls
[23:41] <psufan> and rerouting them to boot UBUNTU
[23:41] <psufan> and to play music
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> psufan Please stop
[23:41] <genii> bradly: in /etc   or a subdir of that
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 what issue were you having
[23:41] <jillian> can anyone help me
[23:41] <mcgohenn> Mike_92 it comes with a remote desktop, and you can install a VNC
[23:41] <^hashbang^> Mike_92: you can install one via the package manager or from the terminal via sudo apt-get vnc-common
[23:41] <psufan> what
[23:41] <remu> Hey everyone. I am using Geany as my IDE, and I have ubuntu set to open java source code files with Geany, however, when I open a downloaded whatever.java by double clicking in the firefox download window, it always opens it with gedit rather than Geany, if I go to my desktop and double click it, it opens properly in Geany....any ideas on how I can get firefox to use Geany?
[23:42] <pxc> hey, I'm having atheros wifi problems on Intrepid. How can I get wpa_supplicant to work with the madwifi driver? It's not listed in wpa_supplicant --help.
[23:42] <psufan> another question: can I replace the OS on my TI-82 so i can use Python instead of just TI BASIC?
[23:42] <jillian> i need to know if once my ubuntu 8.04 has finished upgrading if my sound will return
[23:42] <bradly> genii: hmm.. I don't see it in etc. Maybe I have to create it myself after install?
[23:42] <mcgohenn> psufan: unles you are an automotive programmer... you really don't want to try those kinds of controls...
[23:42] <nefrin2> Jack_Sparrow ----- can't boot up the system, but I think stefg has got it right, my partition is just too big for ubuntu to handle and I need to clean it up
[23:43] <cdeszaq1> Here is the update script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116248/  The post-commit hook is just one line to call it: /data/scripts/./update.sh
[23:43] <cdeszaq1> ^hashbang^: see above
[23:43] <^hashbang^> cdeszaql: got it...
[23:43] <luddite> can i delete a partition with a unused 8.04 if its extended partition is running 8.10?
[23:43] <genii> bradly: You can do something like:   dpkg -L ldap          (or whichever it was that should have the slapd.conf, I forget exact name) and it should list the files it installed
[23:43] <stefg> nefrin2: replace ubuntu with bios/grub ....
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 grub should go in mbr of sda
[23:43] <stefg> :-)
[23:43] <remu> pxc, I dunno if it works for madwifi or not, but my sisters computer has an atheros card, and I went "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid" and then it was working.
[23:43] <dou213> hi guys, just wandering how i can change the HISTSIZE? with export HISTSIZE='nr' like 3000?
[23:44] <^hashbang^> cdeszaql: so if your in your svn hooks dir how are you excuting this script in your post-commit file?
[23:44] <remu> pxc and then her card works on my wpa2 protected network using network-manager
[23:44] <kholerabbi> the nautilus cd creator has no size indicator?!
[23:44] <kholerabbi> it doesn't tell you how much is used - lol
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 grub> root (hd1,0)             setup (hd0)
[23:45] <ryanprior> kholerabbi: That's why we suggest using Brasero instead.
[23:45] <pxc> remu: I've played with ath5k, but the Ubuntu keeps loading the madwifi driver, despite my contradictory blacklist entries in /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi
[23:45] <cdeszaq1> ^hashbang^: SVN runs this after a commit completes, so it literally runs the command "/data/scripts/./update.sh" which is the script I pastebin'ed
[23:45] <j85wilson> I must say even after years of using it, I continue to be impressed by Debian/Ubuntu.  My laptop ran out of battery partway through apt-get upgrade, and I thought it would be borked for sure.  But it came up, and another call to apt-get asked for a specific invocation of dpkg, which finished the upgrade seamlessly.
[23:45] <bernz> psufan, RS232?
[23:45] <cdeszaq1> ^hashbang^: The path for the update script is based off of root
[23:45] <bradly> genii: Thanks. Apparently it doesn't install a slapd.conf any more
[23:45] <psufan> what?
[23:45] <remu> pxc, I dont know much about madwifi, doing the backports method, and making sure the backports repo was enabled worked for me
[23:45] <bernz> (if you're still figuring out some I/O path for your old old machine)
[23:45] <remu> Sorry
[23:45] <ryanprior> j85wilson: That's great. Many people are not so lucky, so I'm glad it came up that way for you.
[23:46] <^hashbang^> cdeszaql: ok so if you run ./post-commit by hand what do you get?
[23:46] <stefg> Jack_Sparrow: we went through a whole grub reinstall kernel reconfigure and fsck... the bios just doesn't get the initrd... out of address space. got written too far to the back when he did a update-initramfs in the process of customizing usplash
[23:46] <adaptr> j85wilson: now try unplugging it halfway through a dist-upgrade :)
[23:46] <^hashbang^> cdeszaql: also make sure to add in your options for your $REPOS and $REV for your mail option too.
[23:46] <j85wilson> heh, no thanks there adaptr :)
[23:46] <kholerabbi> ryanprior: yeah. But cd creator is default on blank cds.......this is not good.
[23:46] <bernz> psu, i must admit i was looking at the scrollbuffer -- perhaps you've already solved your problem ;-)
[23:47] <Florent_> hi i looking for a soft who can boot my computer with an iso who is on a other partitions (in order to not burn a CD)
[23:47] <pxc> the repository is enabled, the ath5k driver is installed, and it can be loaded manually... the lappy just always loads the madwifi driver
[23:47] <psufan> bernz sorry please dont talk about this here
[23:47] <psufan> you can PM me
[23:47] <cdeszaq1> ^hashbang^: The options are just ignored, so that's no prob, but I noticed the perms on the post-commit were non-executable...let me try this again :)
[23:47] <spritle> so, whenever i try to save my video settings in nvidia-settings, i get an error saying it failed to parse xorg.conf O__o
[23:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > Florent_
[23:47] <ryanprior> kholerabbi: Default apps as a whole are a mess in Ubuntu, and I think in other distros as well. There is no good system in place, it's all hodgepodge and much of the time the best choices are not being made anyway.
[23:48] <^hashbang^> cdeszaql: yea my post-commit is 755
[23:48] <nefrin2> stefg --- I'm copying files over to an external usb harddrive right now that I can't replace, but it's gonna take about an hour to complete. If you just want to run through any additional steps that I should know about to repartition when I reinstall, I'll cut and past them
[23:48] <Florent_> ty
[23:48] <remu> pxc, have you tried uninstalling madwifi? is that even possible?
[23:48] <j85wilson> spritle: you might pastebin your xorg.conf, maybe there is some error in it for some reason.  I don't know about nvidia-settings
[23:48] <pxc> remu: i'd have to remove the entire ubuntu-restricted-modules package
[23:48] <DefineByte> In the process of trying to get sound working with Flash 10 I no longer have sound anywhere. Any ideas on where to start looking?
[23:48] <mcgohenn> if anyone has a moment, i have a question about ripping music to .mp3 format
[23:49] <j85wilson> pxc: can you blacklist the modules you don't want
[23:49] <DefineByte> aplay -l shows the sound card but it can't play any audio files.
[23:49] <^hashbang^> spritle: are you running nvidia-settings as gksu?
[23:49] <stefg> nefrin2: As we agreed on a more or less hardware problem there's not much left to do. you don't even need to reinstall, but it might be easier if you dont want to write a fstab and several other things ...
[23:49] <DefineByte> I've added myself to the pulseaudio groups but htat didn't help.
[23:49] <cdeszaq1> ^hashbang^: After running ./post-commit, got this: "svn: Can't set permissions on '.svn/entries.2.tmp': Operation not permitted"
[23:49] <spritle> gksu?
[23:50] <spritle> im running it with sudo
[23:50] <DefineByte> I don't see an audio group which seems strange to me.
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[23:50] <adaptr> spritle: sudo can't do X
[23:50] <DefineByte> maybe it's normal
[23:50] <hvgotcodes> it seems like a ton of packages depend on python 2.5, but 3.0 is available in synaptic.  Is there a way to get 3.0 on the system without breaking anything?
[23:50] <nefrin2> stefg ---- I'm not much one for writing code, a complete reinstall with a proper partition would probably solve all my problems and they wouldn't come back
[23:50] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: you around, I see I assume that you are the one that made the ms vx6000 .deb file?
[23:50] <remu> pxc: have you tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
[23:50] <adaptr> spritle: it's in the system menu, just use that
[23:50] <remu> I read that the blacklisting suggested there might work
[23:50] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: can I get that for ibex?
[23:52] <stefg> nefrin2: as said before i'd recommend  a 256 MB /boot, some 20Gigs for the system /, then (as logical partition) around 2 G of swap , then the rest for /home... if you hva a large movie collection you might to consider putteing them separate on a dedicated partiton (preferably on xfs )
[23:52] <spritle> ah, gksudo seems to have worked :D
[23:52] <cjae> IntuitiveNipple: I have a person that will completely drop windows if that web cam will work under ibex
[23:52] <nefrin2> stefg ---- I will probably use exactly what you put in chat for a partition setup... I have no movie collection, I keep all music and movies on my PS3 with a backup on an external harddrive
[23:53] <bernz> so, my mobo USB ports don't get initialized properly (but my expansion card ones do) -- where can i start digging? /var/logs/messages shows no activity during a physical plug-in event
[23:53] <therealpxc> hey, sry; my inet connection bounced
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 Split what he said to leave for home down into 100 gig partitions.. you will use them and it will make life simpler
[23:53] <therealpxc> [16:50] <pxc> in /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi, I have lines blacklisting ath_pci and ath_hal, but the thing still gets loaded on boot
[23:53] <therealpxc> [16:50] <pxc> do i have to run something to let the system know i've made these changes?
[23:54] <IntuitiveNipple> cjae: I'm not sure about the vx6000 - I did some packages months ago for someone to test but don't have access to the cam myself
[23:54] <Bodsda> which plugin in ccsm allows windows to be selected on mouse over rather then on click?
[23:54] <therealpxc> j85wilson: is there something else i need to do, as well?
[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 I personally would put an ntfs att eh start of your 500 assuming your windows install would be nice to move over when that other drive starts to get older
[23:54] <nefrin2> Jack_Sparrow ---- that actually sounds like a good idea, since I got 500GB of space
[23:54] <therealpxc> adf
[23:54] <j85wilson> therealpxc: I don't know.  I'm not all that familiar with blacklisting modules.  Google might help you; that's where I'd start.
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 I try to avoid any partition over 100 gig..
[23:55] <i-pink> hii
[23:55] <i-pink> i looking for some program like InkSeine
[23:55] <therealpxc> alrighty... back to google
[23:55] <jereme> I pinned ruby to v1.8.6 in intrepid... purged my ruby install, reinstalled it, saw that it installed the 1.8.6 packages, yet it reports as 1.8.7 w/ ruby -v
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> i-pink inkscape
[23:55] <nefrin2> Jack_Sparrow --- I got two more hard drives laying around unused to replace the windows one, and I only keep windows running because of computer security and networking classes at school
[23:55] <i-pink> no
[23:55] <mcgohenn> if anyone has a moment, i have a question about ripping music to .mp3 format
[23:56] <i-pink> is for tablet pc
[23:56] <Bodsda> nvm
[23:56] <j85wilson> mcgohenn: don't ask to ask...
[23:56] <nefrin2> Jack_Sparrow ---- personally, if my windows drive crashed, I'd rejoice in having to tell my teacher I can't work on windows anymore
[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> nefrin2 I still dual boot, as there is lots of cool stuff for winodws boxes, as long as they dont get to connect to thte internet
[23:56] <cdeszaq1> I have gotten the permissions right no the post-commit script now, but the script cannot run the svn up command due to other permission problems. When it gets to that line, SVN says this: svn: Can't set permissions on '.svn/entries.2.tmp': Operation not permitted    The pastbin of the problem script is http://paste.ubuntu.com/116248/
[23:56] <jereme> has anyone in here successfully pinned ruby 1.8.6 on intrepid?
[23:56] <j85wilson> mcgohenn: just ask, and if someone has a moment, they will answer.
[23:56] <i-pink> Jack_Sparrow : is for tablet pc
[23:57] <Jack_Sparrow> i-pink look into netbook remix for that hardware
[23:57] <i-pink> ???
[23:57] <therealpxc> alright, i found a solution on the internet that I'll post here for the logs: after you change your blacklists in /etc/modprobe.d/FILENAME, you have to run update-initramfs.
[23:57] <mcgohenn> I have gstreamer0.10-plugin-ulgy, lame, and ubuntu-restricted installed, and soundjuicer will show mp3 format, however every time i try it only rips to .flac
[23:57] <disappearedng> hey does any1 here have a good lan game to recommend for me and my girlfriend?
