[10:50] <Sazpaimon> I cant CTRL+ALT+F1 into a console to make changes and stuff
[10:50] <Sazpaimon> anything I can take a look at?
[10:51] <ghindo> Sazpaimon:  to be honest, I'm not really sure :/
[10:51] <Sazpaimon> k
[10:51] <IcE_^> hmmz, i'm sorry for repeating my question, but why when I use dmesg -c i get nothing?
[10:52] <kuri0s> dman__ which video card? reconfigure your X.
[10:54] <Gantz> i just tried switching to ubuntu from xp x64 and i'm really lost
[10:54] <void^> IcE_^: -c clears the buffer. if there are no new messages since the last time you ran it, you won't get anything.
[10:54] <Whitt> Gantz, What are you trying to do?
[10:55] <Gantz> i'm trying to get comfortable with ubuntu, other than that i'm trying to get everything running correctly starting with my sound
[10:55] <babolat> The Trash Bin icon on my panel went missing. Adding it back via Right click > Add to Panel doesn't add it back. Nothing happens. How do I bring it back?
[10:56] <Morpheus> morning folks, is there a tool to let me migrate a live physical ubuntu server to another physical server?
[10:56] <IcE_^> void^: oh, i understand now.. I am tryng to set up my modem by configuring the USB in /etc/udev/rules.d.. how do I know that it was identified correctly since dmesg -c doesn't give anything?
[10:59] <jberg-> hey. i've just got my broadcom chipset working with apt-get install b43-fwcutter; modprobe -r b43; modprobe b43 but i heard the new b43 module only works okay with 2.4.25 kernel otherwise i'd get transfer errors
[11:00] <abhi> i'm trying to mount a volume using the GUI from Nautilus
[11:00] <Sazpaimon> I guess i'll try kubuntu and see if I have any luck with that
[11:00] <abhi> I'm at the location Computer
[11:00] <jberg-> so now when i do apt-get i get a lot of transfer errors because of incorrect hash sums and stuff
[11:00] <abhi> and I enter the path correctly
[11:00] <jberg-> do i need kernel 2.6.25?
[11:01] <abhi> i get this error when mounting : mount_point cannot contain the following: G_DIR seperator (/)
[11:01] <abhi> when i try to mount using GUI
[11:01] <kuri0s> jberg- nop, you can add kernel modules by hand to any version. just compile
[11:01] <Slart> abhi: start gconf-editor in a terminal
[11:02] <Slart> abhi: go to system, storage, volumes
[11:02] <abhi> ok
[11:02] <jberg-> kuri0s, yes i know. but b43 apparently doesnt work with 2.6.24 because i get transfer erros
[11:02] <jberg-> errors
[11:02] <Gantz> i just installed ubuntu and can't get audio through spdif
[11:02] <jberg-> so i think i need 2.6.25 which is supposed to fix it
[11:02] <abhi> Slart: went
[11:02] <Slart> abhi: you've got a couple of folders there.. named _org_free...blablabla
[11:02] <peng_> hi, anyone know how use spell file in vim?
[11:02] <abhi> yea
[11:03] <jberg-> but is there an easy way to get 2.6.25? can i use a config file which was used to compile 2.6.24?
[11:03] <abhi> Slart: yea
[11:03] <peng_> when I add zg it tell me"e764 option 'spellfile' is not set"
[11:03] <Slart> abhi: if you click on those you see they key "mountpoint" on the right hand side, right?
[11:03] <peng_> in vim
[11:03] <abhi> Slart: correct
[11:03] <cpk1> Gantz: use alsamixer and make sure pcm is turned up
[11:03] <abhi> Slart: key documentation gives an error
[11:03] <Slart> abhi: I'm betting at least one of those keys /mountpoint
[11:03] <Slart> abhi: I'm betting at least one of those keys (mountpoint) contain a / or something else
[11:04] <kuri0s> jberg-: weird, I normally have problems whith newer kernels because they come with newer features which driver developers don't use to expect...
[11:04] <Slart> abhi: might be called /media/mydisk or something like that.. right?
[11:04] <abhi> Slart: ok then how do i specify the mount point if not with /s?
[11:04] <cpk1> Gantz: also if alsamixer has an iec958 device(s) play around with those
[11:04] <abhi> Slart: yea correct
[11:04] <TB`> Hi all
[11:04] <Slart> abhi: the gnome volume automounter doesn't want the whole path.. just the stuff after /media/
[11:04] <TB`> When is 8.04 being released?
[11:04] <abhi> Slart: oh :) and what if i want to mount it else where?
[11:05] <Slart> abhi: so if the mountpoint is "bigdisk" it will be mounted in "/media/bigdisk"
[11:05] <Whitt> TB`, its out
[11:05] <Slart> abhi: you can't.. afaik
[11:05] <Gantz> cpk1: not entirely sure how to do any of that tbqh
[11:05] <abhi> Slart: then i'll have to change /etc/fstab correct? :)
[11:05] <Slart> abhi: of course you can mount your drive manually wherever you want.. but the gnome auto mounter thingy works like this
[11:06] <cpk1> Gantz: open up a terminal and then run "alsamixer" left right selects which device to change, up and down lowers/raises volume or changes an option
[11:06] <bouma> could someone please help, ive been using google but no luck, i used to have a progy that let me access ext2 drives under xp, but i cant find it again, only a bunch of other progrs that i tried and found were, uh, .. undesireable, and deleteworthy
[11:06] <cpk1> Gantz: pressing escape twice quits
[11:06] <Slart> abhi: what does your fstab look like? can you pastebin it?
[11:06] <Slart> !paste | abhi
[11:06] <Gantz> cpk1: ok cool i'll try that
[11:07] <DJones> bouma: search for ext2fs, I'll see if i can find the link though
[11:07] <abhi> Slart: i think i'll just do an automount in media won't make a difference :)
[11:07] <abhi> Slart: thx for explaining Gnome automount to me :)
[11:07] <Slart> abhi: ok.. just change the mountpoint key.. just one word.. not /\., etc.. and try clicking on the drive in nautilus
[11:07] <DJones> bouma: http://www.fs-driver.org/ This should do it
[11:07] <dj_hamsta> lets say i installed proftpd and no longer like it, how can i remove it ?
[11:07] <Ollie> Hello, I just put a DVD in my drive, and totem movie player was unable to play it. It said: "An Error Occurred: Could not read from resource"
[11:07] <Ollie> any ideas?
[11:08] <judgen> Does the netboot iso contain madwifi?
[11:08] <cpk1> Gantz: if you do have iec958 devices, mine are set to ac-link and the other 2 are at 0 volume but unmuted
[11:08] <bouma> DJones, right, i would rather not an installable driver, just a simple standalone exe like the last one
[11:08] <Slart> Ollie: installed the dvd css thingy?
[11:08] <Ollie> nope... where do I get it?
[11:08] <Slart> !dvd
[11:08] <judgen> Ollie: medibuntu repos
[11:08] <kuri0s>  jberg-: if you need to keep the older version for any reason, try googling for a patch
[11:08] <TB`> Keep getting a blue screen error, what shall I do?
[11:09] <Slart> Ollie: look  at those links.. or try typing "!medibuntu" here in the channel.. ubotu will help you
[11:09] <bouma> DJones, the last one i had was something like e2fs?*? and had support for files over 2gig
[11:09] <Slart> TB`: blue screen error? in ubuntu? neat.. never seen that
[11:09] <DJones> bouma: I've not seen anything like that, I always used this, which gave the ext2 partition of drive letter
[11:09] <kuri0s> lol
[11:10] <judgen> Does the netboot iso contain madwifi?
[11:10] <ArthurArchnix> Well, I've downgraded to gutsy and I'm much happier. The only thing I miss is openoffice 2.4 On the forums it doesn't seem like people have much happiness trying to get it working. Will it find it's way into backports do you think? Or should I try and install it some other way?
[11:10] <Gantz> cpk1: doesn't seem to be doing anything
[11:10] <Ollie> !medibuntu
[11:10] <cpk1> judgen: I am fairly certain the kernel hardy uses has madwifi built in
[11:11] <bouma> DJones, right, well ive had bad experiences with drive letters that werent valid, and being offered to format them under xp, and severe stress when i let someone else use my computer lest they click yes, yes, i would like to format this ext2fs drive with all my music on it
[11:11] <judgen> cpk1: nice, as i prefer to do manual install of packages rather than using a full distro
[11:12] <no_one_noz1> hizzzzzzz
[11:12] <Slart> bouma: isn't there an ext2/ext3 fs driver for windows? don't know if it keeps windows from wanting to format it though
[11:12] <TB`> Can't do it
[11:12] <tenX> Slart: there was a tiny tool for that.. accessing ext fs
[11:12] <KrimZon> i seem to still be having network qos problems in ubuntu - a slowish download and some package downloads via synaptic are preventing me from using the web at all
[11:13] <KrimZon> ext2fs
[11:13] <bouma> Slart, ok is sounds like there is, i am just looking for a single exe standalone progy that does 2gig files, i used to have one, and im still regoogling for it
[11:13] <cpk1> judgen: ath5k is supposed to be in 2.6, BUT it might be only in the wireless GIT so I cant be 100% sure that the hardy kernel has it
[11:14] <DJones> Slart: that was the link I suggested to bouma, I've not seen anything that was just an exe to access the partition
[11:14] <bouma> Slart, ah ok, i found it again, http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs
[11:14] <Slart> DJones, bouma: I used something when I dualbooted.. some kind of file explorer that you could use to access your ext2 driver from XP.... can't remember the name.. shareware or something
[11:15] <cpk1> Gantz: well, it is too late for me to try to trouble shoot sound, but I remember getting my spdif to work I had to play with the iec958 devices and pcm volume
[11:15] <bouma> DJones, i like this, i found it again, http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs
[11:15] <Gantz> cpk1: how would i do that then/
[11:15] <tenX> bouma: thats it :)
[11:16] <jberg-> does anyone know if i can use some config files which was used to compile the default kernel in ubuntu to compile the latest 2.6.25 kernel?
[11:16] <Ollie> Slart: Do I need to restart the pc after installing livdvdcss2? It's installed, but totem is still giving the same error
[11:16] <jberg-> so i dont need to configure anything, just download, load config and compile
[11:16] <DJones> bouma: I hadn't seen/heard of that, looks useful
[11:16] <cpk1> Gantz: alsamixer should show all your sound devices, also whatever gnome uses for controlling sound (I dont use gnome) probably has an advanced option or something to change sound settings
[11:17] <Slart> Ollie: I'm not sure.. don't think so
[11:17] <Slart> Ollie: might be some other problem though.. you are sure the DVD is intact? no weird DRM, no scratches?
[11:18] <mysticdarkhack> anyone know how to exit nano mode in termial?
[11:18] <Slart> mysticdarkhack: ctrl+x?
[11:18] <Slart> mysticdarkhack: I'm not sure I run the proper nano.. I think it's symlinked to something else.. perhaps pico
[11:19] <Lr5> What's the command to upgrade just one package (+ what it needs)?
[11:20] <Lr5> apt-get upgrade seems to try to upgrade every package
[11:20] <m0u5e> Lr5: just sudo apt-get install <packagename>
[11:20] <m0u5e> Lr5: that should upgrade that single package
what I'm trying to do is exit when I was viewing man eject where is show some command back to termial
[11:20] <Lr5> m0u5e: ok, thanks
[11:20] <m0u5e> Lr5: or if you just go into synaptic you can manually do it
[11:20] <m0u5e> Lr5: why not just upgrade all the packages? is there a bug / break?
[11:20] <Slart> mysticdarkhack: ah.. just 'q' then
[11:21] <kuri0s> Lr5: I suggest installing and using aptitude instead of apt-get
[11:21] <Slart> Lr5: updating just one package rarely works.. apt is meant to update everything..
[11:21] <Slart> Lr5: why don't you want to run a regular update?
thx, still learning here and been on linux for two years now
[11:22] <judgen> cpk1: ive burnt it now, hope it works
[11:22] <Slart> mysticdarkhack: mm.. I learn new stuff every day.. been using linux for.. 4 years or so
[11:22] <Lr5> Slart: the computer is quite old and has not enough hard disk space for all
[11:23] <Slart> Lr5: ouch... remove some stuff you don't need? openoffice or other big packages.. ?
[11:23] <m0u5e> Lr5:  it should automatically overwrite the old packages
[11:23] <kuri0s> Slart: Lr5: with aptitude you can select and install packages individually. It also makes a good dependecies check
[11:23] <m0u5e> lr5: type sudo apt-get --purge clean to clean old packages
[11:23] <m0u5e> Lr5: also, go into package settings and set it to auto delete old packages that have been downloaded
I probably catch up and there other thing I'm learn like starting to compile kernel
[11:23] <Lr5> Uninstalling openoffice sounds like a good idea
[11:24] <m0u5e> Lr5: how much space do you have? N:X
[11:24] <dan> where can i find details about configureing a kernel?
now I hoping to remember some or most command line in linux
[11:24] <Slart> kuri0s: I've never understood why people prefer aptitude over apt-get.. I've never found anything I couldn't do with apt that aptitude does..
[11:24] <zaffry007> hi
[11:24] <bjwebb> okay, firefox is being a pita
[11:24] <zaffry007> guys can i know a website for ubuntu softs
[11:25] <Slart> mysticdarkhack: there are some good sites out there for bash and linux command line..
[11:25] <mysticdarkhack> aptitude or apt it really doesn't matter
[11:25] <mysticdarkhack> both work fine
[11:25] <Slart> !repos | zaffry007
[11:25] <Gantz> can anyone else assist me with getting my spdif audio working?
I know right, and I like linuxcommand.org if that right
[11:26] <kuri0s> Slart: I like the dependencies checking, package filtering and its efficient UI
[11:26] <vallhalla81> !vm
[11:26] <vallhalla81> !VMWare
[11:27] <vallhalla81> !vmware
[11:27] <mysticdarkhack> virtualbox is better and free
[11:27] <kuri0s> mysticdarkhack: why is virtualbox better?
[11:27] <tenX> vmware-server is the choice
[11:28] <vallhalla81> mysticdarkhack: i dont seem to be able to get it to run on this kernal tho
it better support
[11:28] <vallhalla81> tenX: can you get it to run on gutsy?
what kernel version are you using?
[11:28] <lool> Hi, from time to time I hit a key combo by accident which causes Compiz to move my mouse each time I switch windows with alt tab; does someone know which combo it is?
[11:29] <vallhalla81> 2.6.24-17-generic
[11:29] <tenX> vallhalla81: you can but if i was to setup a new server i'd still stick to 7.10
[11:29] <tenX> vallhalla81: it works but you have to fool around
[11:29] <tenX> and there are no packages yet
[11:29] <mysticdarkhack> what version of virtualbox are you using?
[11:29] <vallhalla81> tenX: i gues i will just have to w8
[11:30] <Gantz> audio issues using spdif
[11:30] <kuri0s> mysticdarkhack: do you work with it alot? I never tryed, so Im curious about it...
[11:30] <vallhalla81> mysticdarkhack: i tryed all the ones in the ubuntu repos
[11:30] <tenX> vallhalla81: thats what i'd do
[11:30] <kasra> anyone exprience gzip cpu usage in Hardy ?
[11:30] <mysticdarkhack> just a remind to all, virtualbox 1.5.6 doesn't work hardy kernel but the newer version 1.6.0 does
[11:31] <U> open
[11:31] <mysticdarkhack> go to virtualbox.org for the latest version
[11:31] <peng_> exit
[11:31] <tenX> U: (FILE, >file)
[11:32] <tenX> ;
[11:32] <Quintin> does alternate install take longer than regular install?
[11:32] <Ollie> Slart: In case anyone else asks... you need to eject + reinsert the DVD after installing libdvdcss2 for it to work!
[11:32] <tenX> Quintin: yeah, 5 mins and 36 secs
[11:32] <vallhalla81> mysticdarkhack: will do thank you
[11:32] <tenX> Quintin: what a waste of time :(
[11:32] <Slart> Ollie: ahh.. that actually makes sense.. thanks for letting us know
[11:32] <jaki> hi
[11:32] <Slart> Ollie: it works alright now?
virtualbox is simular to vmware but it open sources and support all os
[11:32] <Ollie> yes :)
[11:33] <jaki> can you help me ? http://forum.ubuntu.pl/showthread.php?t=74148
[11:33] <Slart> !pl | jaki
[11:33] <mysticdarkhack> before you install the new virtualbox, I recommand removing the old one first by using this command sudo apt-get --purge -f autoremove virtualbox
[11:33] <kuri0s> mysticdarkhack: what kind of virtual HW emulates? For example wich ethernet cards do you have inside a vmachine?
[11:34] <tenX> kuri0s: what is that important for? its emulation anyway
[11:34] <jaki> ubottu: wlasnie z nimi sie dogadac nie idzie, obracaja kota ogonem
[11:35] <Slart> jaki: ubottu is a bot..
[11:35] <jaki> lol:D
[11:35] <tenX> ubottu: i'm sure that thought would never have teased his mind :p
[11:35] <kuri0s>  tenX: performance?
[11:35] <jaki> nom i see
[11:35] <tenX> kuri0s: i dont know never used it
[11:35] <tenX> kuri0s: i stick to vmware-server
[11:36] <f1re> Hi there.
it will clone from your ubuntu setting but almost like you install windows process, you can tried out and see for yourself
[11:36] <kuri0s>  tenX: me neither :) ...   yet

[11:36] <jkp> hi all, i installed avahi and configured it to advertise netatalk recently.  i changed the advertised name of the host to something i liked better than the raw host name
[11:37] <kuri0s> mysticdarkhack: don't have enought time to try all sw arround  :)
[11:37] <jkp> but browsing around i still see the old host name: it seems that the server is advertising a _workstation._tcp service as well, but there is no service for this in the avahi config
[11:37] <jkp> does anyone know how i can disable this service adertisement?
lol i se
[11:38] <alex_> i am using catalyst, and i enable big desktop (for dual monitors) but everytime i restart it goes back to normal mode. do i need to edit xorg.conf or something?
[11:38] <_moro_bana_> i have an aver media card and want to watch tv on ubuntu, help
[11:39] <tenX> i think so - got into contact with dual monitors once but cant supply details
[11:39] <mysticdarkhack> it going to be awhile that I can help everyone in here and I'm still learning here myself
[11:39] <alex_> _moro_bana_ i have been using a program called 'me tv' which seems to work pretty well
[11:39] <tenX> google for it alex_
[11:39] <dj_hamsta> how do i get a list of programs that are installed ?
[11:39] <Holyhandgrenade> hey everyone, im setting up a home server. does anyone know if its possible to set "shared" files via http instead of smb .... if so what should i look for
[11:39] <dj_hamsta> browse to that folder
[11:39] <_moro_bana_> alex_: with the same card as mine>
[11:40] <f1re> I'd need some assistance. I'd have to use Audacity, and some effects are missing. Particulary the "Change pitch" effect also. I'd found out, that the problem is related to a configuration script problem. It doesn't recognize the libsndfile package as installed, so it disables the effects. I could install from CVS or source, but I don't want to break out from apt.
[11:40] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  which card you have ?
[11:40] <alex_> _moro_bana_ no, sorry different card
[11:40] <kuri0s> mysticdarkhack: virtualization is expanding very fast, Im vmware professional ;)
[11:40] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_L  avertv hybrid +fm pci
[11:41] <jkp> its ok, i found an option in the main avahi config
[11:41] <m1dn1ght> hey guys - can anyone tell me how to unrar multi-part archives?  I installed the unrar package so the Ubuntu archive manager will open rars, but it doesn't appear to be opening all the files as it's saying the size is only 300mb when it should be closer to 4.5gig
[11:41] <newb> hi i am trying to install hadoop on an edgy server. hadoop requires ssh access to itself. i generated a public/private key with a blank password to allow hadoop to access ssh without me having to intervene to enter the password. i tried it on my gutsy workstation but on my edgy server it's not happening. why?
[11:41] <f1re> there is 1.3.5 in CVS now, in the apt tree it's 1.3.4, but some guys say that 1.3.3 also works fine. The package it problems with is installed, but is's name is not the same.
[11:41] <Holyhandgrenade> hey everyone, im setting up a home server. does anyone know if its possible to set "shared" files via http instead of smb .... if so what should i look for  (edit) the point would be to allow file transfers via wget ....
[11:41] <ikonia> Holyhandgrenade: apache will do it
[11:41] <f1re> Holyhandgrenade: That would be a one-direction file transfer.
[11:42] <Ovispain> hi
[11:42] <epifanio_> hi, i'm tring  an application "fwtools"    http://fwtools.maptools.org/    (binary package 32bit)  on ubuntu server 7.10 64bit

[11:42] <epifanio_> locate libgcc_s.so.1 ,  give me that it is in :  /lib/
[11:42] <epifanio_> i  tried : export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/lib   but do not sove my problem
[11:42] <Holyhandgrenade> okay thanks guys
[11:42] <FloodBot2> epifanio_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:42] <epifanio_> how can i use fwtools on a 64 bit machine,  i'm wrong something or i need to install otherer libraries ?
[11:42] <dj_hamsta> when restarting my ssh server i get  "Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd " but im using ubuntu! is that ok?
[11:42] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  this is DVB card ?
[11:42] <tenX> dj_hamsta: yes
[11:42] <Ovispain> Does anyone know how to install DC++ on Ubuntu ?
[11:42] <xintron> Hi termitor
[11:43] <tenX> dj_hamsta: openssh is part of the openbsd project
[11:43] <dj_hamsta> apt-get install dc++ ?
[11:43] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: DVB?
[11:43] <ikonia> epifanio_: check if it's linked against it
[11:43] <Ovispain> I tried this but it doesn't work
[11:43] <kuri0s> have to go, cul8r
[11:43] <f1re> Ovispain: Look for a DC client
[11:43] <newb> how do i stop edgy from asking a password when i'm running hadoop?
[11:44] <ikonia> Ovispain: open synaptic and search for dc++ there is a linux client version
[11:44] <ikonia> newb: hadoop ?
[11:44] <epifanio_> ikonia: how can i check it?
[11:44] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_: TV standerd here different than yours, DVB is european standerd
[11:44] <ikonia> epifanio_: ldd it i
[11:44] <ikonia> it
[11:44] <epifanio_> ok
[11:44] <newb> ikonia: yea hadoop
[11:44] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  if this i'm using VDR for it
[11:44] <f1re> Could someone tell me please which apt tree is the more up-to date? Stability doesn't matters for me.
[11:44] <ikonia> newb: I've no idea what hadoop is
[11:44] <Ovispain> ikonia: Thanks. I am going to try it right now. Be right back.
[11:44] <newb> ikonia: it's a DFS
[11:45] <f1re> (hardy)
[11:45] <ikonia> f1re: hardy is the most current
[11:45] <newb> ikonia: never mind what hadoop is
[11:45] <f1re> And there aren't branches?
[11:45] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  this card you have ?... http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/products_digitvtuner_hybridPCI.asp
[11:45] <f1re> I mean some tree, where
[11:45] <f1re> most recent (could not be tested) stuff sits.
[11:45] <ikonia> newb: ahh it's a clueter
[11:45] <newb> ikonia: but i want to know how can i prevent a shell script from requiring my intervention everytime to enter a SSH password?
[11:45] <ikonia> f1re: hardy is the current
[11:45] <ikonia> newb: use ssh keys
[11:45] <tenX> newb: ssh certs
[11:45] <newb> ikonia: ok
[11:46] <ikonia> tenX: it's keys not certs
[11:46] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: well im in russia, that has to be european, but under windows i get to choose the country , the software got preconfigurations
[11:46] <tenX> ikonia: how could i :/
[11:46] <newb> tenX ikonia: ok so i did this ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" where i left the password blank so that i don't require to enter the password everytime
[11:46] <ikonia> tenX: how could you what ?
[11:46] <f1re> then again: How could I (even low level) get Audacity to recognize libsndfile az installed? I need those effects.
[11:46] <epifanio_> ikonia: ldd libgcc_s.so.1 ?  give me No such file or directory
[11:46] <ikonia> newb: you also need the "allownullpassword" option set in the sshd_config file
[11:46] <tenX> ikonia: fail like that
[11:46] <newb> ok
[11:47] <ikonia> tenX: it's a simple wording error
[11:47] <newb> ikonia ok
[11:47] <ikonia> epifanio_: nah, ldd the binary
[11:47] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: yes its the one
[11:48] <babolat> where do i find the files that i've sent to trash?
[11:48] <ikonia> newb: PermitEmptyPasswords option sorry
[11:48] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i see its linux compatible from that link
[11:48] <newb> ikonia: thx :)
[11:48] <jamiesss> hey
[11:48] <f1re> I tried to use apt-get source, but the configuration script cries for packages, THAT ARE INSTALLED. I think I need some pkg-tool tweak but I don't have the experimence...
[11:48] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  then i think you can use VDR
[11:48] <epifanio_> ikonia: i get :   ldd /path/to/binary  >  not a dynamic executable
[11:48] <f1re> -m
[11:48] <ikonia> epifanio_: run "file" against the binary and tell me what it is
[11:49] <jamiesss> wat ya all up 2 ?
[11:49] <Tonni> hi, i just upgraded my ubuntu machine from 7.10 to 8.04. everything went finde, except the graphics stuff. i'm now stuck at low-res mode and have no idea how to revert it. i have nVidia 8800GTS, used the nVidia driver before the upgrade. now i'm running kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
[11:49] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  what source you use Sat, cables  ..etc ?
[11:49] <Tonni> what can i do about it?
[11:49] <ikonia> jamiesss: this is a busy support channel, it would be really helpful if you could keep your conversation to support topics please. #ubuntu-offtopic is available for chatting
[11:49] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: well i never tried sat for digital, i use antenna cable
[11:49] <p1> how can I prevent Pidgin from starting up automatically? It's not in Sessions > Startup Programs
[11:49] <epifanio_> ikonia: it give me : http://rafb.net/p/sJ79eU72.html
[11:49] <babolat> in what folder is "Trash" stored?
[11:50] <Gantz> whats a good replacement for someone whose been using winamp for the past decade
[11:50] <Tonni> i did some googling, but it didnt work for me
[11:50] <ikonia> babolat: it changed in hardy something likse /usr/share/trash
[11:50] <jamiesss> ikonia: ok
[11:50] <Tonni> and i don't want to reinstall :/
[11:50] <babolat> p1: Tools > Preferences
[11:50] <newb> ikonia: FYI: hadoop is a DFS. it can be used to set up a linux cluster of inexpensive boxes to carry out parallel computations
[11:50] <ikonia> epifanio_: ahhh it's a shell script
[11:50] <ikonia> newb: I read up in it, thanks
[11:50] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_: moment i try find russien forum that discuss this then you understand more there
[11:50] <orgy`> hi, i get a "Segmentation fault" when starting pSX. what could be causing that? http://rafb.net/p/3mc5dB18.html
[11:50] <ikonia> newb: read up on it, sorry
[11:50] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: ok
[11:51] <newb> ikonia: DFS - distributed file system (sorry I didn't mention that)
[11:51] <babolat> ikonia: it's not /usr/share/trash... wonder what it is
[11:51] <ikonia> newb: thats fine, I know what it is
[11:51] <ikonia> babolat: hang on I'll find it for you *sigh*
[11:51] <epifanio_> ikonia it is :  http://rafb.net/p/lNYcav20.html
[11:51] <babolat> ikonia: no need if you're busy. i think i can find it myself
[11:51] <tenX> babolat: should be in your /home/$user dir
[11:52] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  http://www.allrussian.info/board.php?boardid=61
[11:52] <babolat> no it's not tenX
[11:52] <m1dn1ght> Can anyone tell me how to unrar multi-part archives?  I installed the unrar package so the Ubuntu archive manager will open rars, but it doesn't appear to be opening all the files as it's saying the size is only 300mb when it should be closer to 4.5gig
[11:52] <p1> babolat: I checked all the options in the preferences, don't find anything relevant on starting automatically
[11:52] <ikonia> epifanio_: check what fwtools_env.sh does
[11:52] <tenX> babolat: make sure to look at hidden files as will ls -a
[11:52] <ikonia> tenX: no - it's moved in hardy
[11:52] <Tonni> can't anybody help me please? :(
[11:53] <tenX> ikonia: but a trash folder is user related?
[11:53] <ikonia> tenX: it's moved in hardy
[11:53] <void^> m1dn1ght: i don't know about the guy, but unrar x first.part.rar works.
[11:53] <void^> m1dn1ght: *gui
[11:53] <baklava-> so I edit a file, save, compile with gcc, run it, fine. copy the source to a new name, edit it, try to compile, and get "/opt/gnu/bin/gcc: No such device or address" ...what's going on?
[11:54] <epifanio_> tring ldd on the "real" command that is in $fwtools_home/bin   instead of  $fwtools_home/bin_safe , i get : http://rafb.net/p/4KZY0A82.html
[11:54] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i understand english better, which program are you using under ubuntu for your card
[11:54] <ikonia> babolat: ~/.local/share/Trash
[11:54] <babolat> it's really not there, tenX
[11:54] <babolat> beautiful work ikonia :D
[11:55] <m1dn1ght> thanks void - I'll give that a try
[11:55] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  i have different card is hauppage also is DVB-s but the same i think working for yours but i'm not sure the program called VDR
[11:55] <ikonia> epifanio_: and you've done this on an ubuntu system
[11:55] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  it exist in ubuntu repository with som eplugins
[11:55] <ikonia> epifanio_: it's a 32bit binary, and all your libaries are 64bit (mostly)
[11:55] <epifanio_> ikonia in i thtere isn't : libgcc_s.so.1
[11:55] <epifanio_> yes
[11:55] <epifanio_> 7.10 (server) 64bt
[11:56] <ikonia> epifanio_: thats the problem then
[11:56] <Gantz> winamp is to windows as _______ is to ubuntu?
[11:56] <ikonia> epifanio_: the libaries it wants are 32bit.....you don't have them
[11:56] <epifanio_> can i install some 32 bit libraries?
[11:56] <m0u5e> Gantz: try audacious
[11:56] <bazhang> audacious Gantz
[11:56] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_: i think there is some application also that you can access the card faster to see if it work
[11:56] <Gantz> thanks
[11:56] <m0u5e> bazhang: jinx :D
[11:56] <bazhang> ;]
[11:56] <ArthurArchnix> rhythmbox in gutsy doesn't show album art anymore?
[11:56] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: which

[11:57] <ArthurArchnix> hmmm
[11:57] <m0u5e> ArthurArchnix: banshee / listen is better ;-)
[11:57] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  i test kaffiene before but only with dvb-s
[11:57] <dj_hamsta> if my motherboard does not suport WOL is there a workaround to turn pc on remotely ?
[11:57] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  i look what exist
[11:57] <ikonia> epifanio_: you'd need a 32bit full environment for those
[11:58] <ikonia> epifanio_: ubuntu isn't multi-lib
[11:58] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i could not find hauppage in the repos
[11:58] <ikonia> dj_hamsta: not really
[11:58] <epifanio_> ikonia , can i use apt-get to solve ,  what packages i'll need ?
[11:58] <babolat> p1: solved your problem yet?
[11:58] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  is vdr hauppauge is my card
[11:58] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  you search for vdr
[11:58] <babolat> p1: read up -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574345 and do the instructions in reverse
[11:59] <Whitt> anybody able to help here with X11 crashing due to Fglrx?
[11:59] <ikonia> epifanio_: no, your only using the 64bit repo's so apt won't work
[11:59] <ikonia> epifanio_: the 32bit lib's would conflict
[12:00] <ikonia> epifanio_: as I said, ubuntu is'n't multi-lib
[12:00] <tenX> ikonia: what os is?
[12:00] <ikonia> tenX: windows
[12:00] <ikonia> tenX: a few linux distros
[12:00] <tenX> ikonia: like?
[12:00] <ikonia> tenX: most corperate unix's
[12:00] <epifanio_> ok so i can't use it (fwtools 32 bit binary)
[12:00] <ikonia> epifanio_: thats the sort version, yes
[12:00] <ikonia> short

[12:01] <lool> (Second try) Hi, from time to time I hit a key combo by accident which causes Compiz to move my mouse each time I switch windows with alt tab; does someone know which combo it is?

[12:01] <spaceninja> will I miss anything from the original ubuntu if I get mint instead?
[12:01] <caitlin> does anyone happen to know what kernel 8.04 wants to boot on a via c3 processor? I'm struggling to find the info through google. The server install bombs on first reboot.
[12:01] <ikonia> spaceninja: they are different Os's
[12:01] <ikonia> CatCheeto: same as x86
[12:01] <ikonia> CatCheeto: same as x86
[12:01] <wols_> caitlin: 686 normally
[12:02] <spaceninja> ok
[12:02] <labinnsw> Good Evening All. I have a post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4933232#post4933232, re: Drive /dev/hdg does not contain audio files. Can anyone help
[12:02] <ikonia> caitlin: same as x86 - 2.6.24-16 is current
[12:02] <spaceninja> but I want the best os with the best gui apps for system configuration and package management
[12:02] <caitlin> ikonia: the standard kernel fails to load. it panics.
[12:02] <clemyeats> spaceninja: you'll miss encryption and key generation tools, wubi and a few other things.
[12:03] <ikonia> caitlin: why ?
[12:03] <ikonia> CatCheeto: what is the exact error
[12:03] <spaceninja> how much better is ubuntu compared with opensuse and fedora?
[12:03] <ikonia> uugh
[12:03] <ikonia> CatCheeto: sorry
[12:03] <ikonia> caitlin: what is the exact error
[12:03] <jatt> 100x times better
[12:03] <caitlin> says it can't run on my processor
[12:03] <jatt> or 1000
[12:03] <ikonia> spaceninja: it's not better, it's different, try it
[12:03] <spaceninja> :)
[12:03] <simplexio> caitlin: sound like you try run 64bit on 32bit machine
[12:03] <ikonia> caitlin: what processor was it again please.
[12:03] <caitlin> I didn't have time to log wade, i'm in work atm.. usual retardo user :P
[12:03] <caitlin> via c3
[12:04] <clemyeats> spaceninja: all distros are better than each others :) Depends on your needs.
[12:04] <ikonia> via c3 is 32bit x86
[12:04] <caitlin> categorically a 386 version iso, verified
[12:04] <ikonia> caitlin: are you sure you have the x386 cd
[12:04] <spaceninja> my favorite is archlinux, but I need a point and click distro
[12:04] <caitlin> yes, i downloaded a new one, 'cause the other one i have is for my 64 bit machine
[12:05] <spaceninja> all I want to do is point and click
[12:05] <simplexio> if i recall right via c3 dosent work on i686 i think
[12:05] <kimmey2k3> spaceninja: linux mint may be a good choise :)
[12:05] <emma> I've been helping people in here a few days now and suddenly my own Ubuntu is starting to go screwy :P
[12:05] <caitlin> it's a little odd, because the installer runs fine
[12:05] <ikonia> then fix it
[12:05] <spaceninja> im going to virtualize it
[12:05] <emma> I was just using mplayer and had sound. I closed the terminal it was running in, and now I have no audio. Any ideas?
[12:05] <ikonia> caitlin: ok, so the installer runs ok, but the installed system fails to boot ?
[12:05] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: its the second in the list i suppose looking at the inputs stated there
[12:06] <clemyeats> spaceninja: ubuntu, mint, pclinuxos, mepis, fedora.. they're all good choices really. Just get a virtual machine ready and try them all.
[12:06] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i have audio, svideo, antenna, fm inputs
[12:06] <Myrtti> !mint
[12:06] <labinnsw> YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: I have a post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4933232#post4933232, re: Drive /dev/hdg does not contain audio files. Can anyone help?
[12:06] <spaceninja> yep thanks
[12:07] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_: antenna for analog TV or digital ?
[12:07] <ikonia> labinnsw: typing in caps is more likley to get you ignored that get attention
[12:07] <clemyeats> actually #linuxmint isn't the support channel for mint. It's on irc.spotchat.org.
[12:07] <ikonia> labinnsw: also, you've posted on the forum, if no-one in here can help, wait for someone to respond to the forum post
[12:08] <no_one_noz1> hi
[12:08] <designerman> I just installed ubuntu from an old live cd I have, version 4.01 - I need the root password so I can get root access. I have looked on the documentation but I think it may be out of date
[12:08] <designerman> passwd is not working
[12:08] <designerman> any help?
[12:08] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: is that german, antenna for analog, but the manual showed the same input for analog and digital
[12:08] <ikonia> designerman: ubuntu doesn't use a root password
[12:08] <rabspd> hello
[12:08] <rabspd> Hello everybody.
[12:08] <ikonia> !root > designerman check out the pm from ubottu
[12:09] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  yes is German and there is english version
[12:09] <ArthurArchnix> hmmm... can't find any bug reports. I wonder if the site it gets the album art from is just temporarily down
[12:09] <rabspd> Which is good IDE for Ubuntu?
[12:09] <labinnsw> ikonia: Your responses might not be pleasant or in the ubuntu spirit or philosophy, but it is the only ones I have received till now.
[12:09] <ikonia> rabspd: for what languages
[12:09] <wols_> rabspd: depends what you want to do
[12:09] <jo4> Hi, i set the resolution on the tv out to high, so my tv says out of range. The thing is that i managed to press keep settings. Can i manually edit what resolution the TV uses? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but no result
[12:09] <emma> Has anyone learned anything about audio suddenly ceasing to work in Hardy after closing mplayer?
[12:09] <rabspd> C/C++/PHP etc
[12:09] <ikonia> labinnsw: my responses are in the ubuntu spirit of politly telling you the answer
[12:10] <designerman> ikonia: ye mine does have a password as when I try nothing I get told I can't authenticate
[12:10] <ikonia> rabspd: eclipse seems to be the standard
[12:10] <rabspd> ikonia: for C/C++
[12:10] <wols_> rabspd: C/C++ and PHP are very differentIDEs
[12:10] <snowolf> emma: ctrl+alt+backspace :)
[12:10] <ikonia> designerman: the password is not "nothing"
[12:10] <no_one_noz1> hey designerman >>>.
[12:10] <no_one_noz1> are still here
[12:10] <wols_> for php I'd say eclipse PDT
[12:10] <bazhang> snowolf, not helpful
[12:10] <designerman> ikonia: what is it then?
[12:10] <ikonia> designerman: there is no root password
[12:10] <wols_> designerman: you use sudo, nothing else
[12:10] <rabspd> wols_> is it different from eclipse?
[12:10] <ikonia> designerman: did you read the pm ubottu sent you
[12:10] <designerman> ikonia: how do I log in as root, I type su and press enter
[12:10] <wols_> ikonia: there is. there just is no root account you can log into :)
[12:10] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: oh i forgot , thats wikipedia, silly me,im setting up vdr , what is terrestial(dvb card type)
[12:10] <labinnsw> ikonia: Sorry, just realised I need to go look up the meaning of polite
[12:11] <zChris> !root | designerman
[12:11] <ikonia> designerman: no, did you read the pm ubottu sent you
[12:11] <wols_> rabspd: yes. PDT is a eclipse plugin
[12:11] <ikonia> wols_: pardon ?
[12:11] <wols_> ikonia: grep root /etc/shadow. there you see your root pw :P
[12:11] <Myrtti> wols_: ha     ha.
[12:11] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  terrestial is DVB-T this is i think what you have
[12:11] <ikonia> wols_: I know there is a root password
[12:11] <zChris> wols_: thats not what i have read, i have read that there is a root account but no password
[12:12] <ikonia> zChris: it's a play on words
[12:12] <bazhang> !ot
[12:12] <ikonia> zChris: there is no "known" root password
[12:12]  * emma *smiles*
[12:12] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i can also try satellite, my friend got a cable here
[12:12] <wols_> root simply has no shell, that's all
[12:12] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Main_Page this is the english wiki
[12:12] <rabspd> which IDE is best for C/C++?
[12:12] <jo_e> a while ago, switching virtual terminals stopped working for me. now when I type ctrl-[1..6] i just get a black screen. i tried googling it and found some stuff about removing vga=791 from my menu.lst but I don't have it anyway. can this be fixed?
[12:13] <wols_> some like eclipse, some kdevelop, some rawhide, etc
[12:13] <wpk> rabspd: eclipse
[12:13] <ikonia> wols_: it certainly does have a shell (root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash)
[12:13] <ikonia> wols_: back at you for picking up on my wording ;)
[12:13] <Bodsda> ikonia, i thought i read the root password was ! as no password wouldnt be acceptable but ! is an unexceptable charcter or summit stupid like that
[12:13] <wols_> ikonia: then why can't you log in as root?
[12:13] <ikonia> wols_: you don't know the root password
[12:13] <rabspd> wpk: does eclipse have WYSIWYG plugin for HTML?
[12:13] <zChris> wols_: you can if you change the root password
[12:13] <Bodsda> wols_, you can if you define the root password
[12:13] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: thanks a lot for the info, im getting to work now
[12:13] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_: the steps is to be sure that driver already installed then install vdr and scann channels to have the correct channels.conf then you can try vdr but maybe this is the complex method , the simple way is to try it with kaffiene or vlc
[12:13] <zChris> Bodsda: :D
[12:14] <wols_> ikonia: I should sleep more. mea culpa
[12:14] <Bodsda> lol
[12:14] <dimedo> hi there, why isn't my CAcert root CA available in firefox although i enabled it through the package ca-certificates?
[12:14] <ikonia> wols_: I was only picking on you to get you back
[12:14] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: oh, ok
[12:14] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[12:14] <wols_> ikonia: no, I'm a moron and talked crap. I need a nap
[12:14] <Myrtti> wols_, ikonia, elsewhere. :-D
[12:14] <alex_> can anyone help me, when i enable 'big-desktop' mode in ati's catalyst program when it restarts it changes back to clone desktop every time i restart
[12:15] <jo4> Is there a way of editing the files 'gnome-display-properties' uses manually? Or just change them in a terminal way?
[12:15] <ikonia> jo4: thats a bit of a tricky question
[12:15] <Bodsda> display would mean xorg
[12:15] <ikonia> jo4: xorg.conf controls the xserver info, gnome controls the desktop setup based on partly what xorg does and part use config, it's not really held in a config file for gnome
[12:15] <Bodsda> but im sure the app uses many other conf files aswell
[12:16] <dimedo> isn't firefox using the certificate storage of ubuntu?
[12:16] <jo4> ikonia, not even the actual resolution?
[12:16] <ikonia> jo4: the resolution is set via xorg at boot time, gnome allows you to interact with it to configure it on the fly
[12:17] <gronne> I had issues with my network due to ufw all along... how can I use ufw and allow a certain ip to run?
[12:17] <ikonia> jo4: gnome actually doesn't control the resolution
[12:17] <ikonia> jo4: I appricaite I'm explaining it, in on the most straight forward way
[12:17] <ikonia> gronne: ufw ?
[12:18] <gronne> uncomplicated firewall
[12:18] <binarymutant> how do I get devilspie to open a window in the lower right hand corner? it seems to only move them to the upper left
[12:18] <ikonia> gronne: ufw is just a front end to iptables
[12:18] <jo4> ikonia, yeah, your doing a good job ;D but each user has a resolution setting, right? cause when i log into my own user at this laptop i get the right resolution at the right screen
[12:18] <ikonia> gronne: you just need to make accept rules for the firewall, thats it
[12:18] <alex_> can anyone help me, when i enable 'big-desktop' mode in ati's catalyst program when it restarts it changes back to clone desktop every time i restart
[12:18] <ikonia> jo4: the resoution should be global, unless a user made changes to his GNOME (not X) session
[12:18] <rabspd> does hardy have builtin firewall?
[12:18] <gronne> ikonia: yeah, sure... but isn't it only for ports? well, I try then...
[12:19] <ikonia> rabspd: no, it has iptables built in, but not enabled, you have to configure it
[12:19] <ikonia> gronne: no, iptables deals with much more than ports
[12:19] <jo4> ikonia, so i should go to #gnome and ask? cause it's set in the 'Screen Resolution' thingy
[12:19] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i have kaffeine installed, its a music player
[12:19] <gronne> ok... so I will try to write ufw allow <IP_ADDRESS> and it should work I hope...
[12:19] <rabspd> ikonia how to configure, is there any tutorial?
[12:20] <ikonia> jo4: system --> preferences --> screen resolution will set it on a per user bassis
[12:20] <ikonia> rabspd: www.netfilter.org
[12:20] <rabspd> ikonia: thanks
[12:20] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_: we can talk in side talking , to not make the room here crowded :)
[12:20] <zChris> Love is in the air
[12:20] <RainmaN> hi all!
[12:21] <gronne> ikonia: I did as I wrote... but It said ERROR:Bad port
[12:21] <rabspd> ikonia: what about firestarter?
[12:21] <bazhang> zChris, not in here please
[12:21] <emma> !info firestarter > emma
[12:21] <ikonia> rabspd: thats just another front end
[12:21] <jo4> ikonia, yeah, maybe should have mentioned that when i asked, sorry :p but i mean, it has to save settings in a file. cause the setting persists over reboots
[12:21] <binarymutant> what's the X geometery for the lower right hand corner?
[12:21] <ikonia> jo4: those settings are in memory, but should be stored in the gconf database
[12:21] <zChris> !ot > bazhang
[12:21] <emma> rabspd, there is a really good gui for configuring your firewall called Firestarter
[12:21] <emma> rabspd - type:  sudo apt-get install firestarter
[12:22] <rabspd> emma: I have done it.
[12:22] <emma> rabspd, okay good :)
[12:22] <emma> Then just start firestarter
[12:22] <rabspd> emma: but still unknown how to configure it?
[12:23] <rabspd> emma: started
[12:23] <rabspd> emma: then?
[12:23] <ikonia> rabspd: be very careful what you do, as this is just an interface to iptables, so any crashes mid configuration will leave you in a unusable / locked out state
[12:23] <gronne> ikonia: It said Bad port when I entered "ufw allow <IP_ADDRESS>"
[12:23] <jo4> ikonia, any way to run gconf-editor on ssh? :p or can you tell me where the data bases are located?
[12:23] <jrib> jo4: use gconftool-2
[12:23] <bazhang> rabspd, you wish to read some info in iptables first
[12:23] <ikonia> jrib: thank you
[12:23] <Daviey> jo4: ssh -X user@server , then launch gconf-editor
[12:23] <rabspd> yah
[12:24] <ikonia> gronne: you need to specify a port
[12:24] <ikonia> gronne: I don't know if ufw will allow wildcards
[12:24] <ikonia> gronne: or "ALL"
[12:24] <emma> rabspd, the wizard will walk you through most of it when you start it.
[12:24] <emma> rabspd you might want to log out of ubuntu and back in so that firestarter can update everything though.
[12:24] <jo4> jrib, says cannot open display
[12:24] <rabspd> emma: it is telling network device setup.
[12:24] <ikonia> why do you need to log out and back in
[12:24] <gronne> ikonia: Ok, is there anyway to find out what port I need it to allow?
[12:25] <ikonia> firestarter is dynamic
[12:25] <ikonia> gronne: what do you want to allow ?
[12:25] <emma> rabspd then when you get through the wizard check the box that says "IP adress is assigned via DHCP box (unless you are using an old dial up modem)
[12:25] <rabspd> yah. There was just three step.
[12:25] <jrib> jo4: what did you type exactly?
[12:25] <rabspd> I am using internet via LAN
[12:26] <LimCore> why ubuntu fails agai?
[12:26] <LimCore> * again
[12:26] <emma> rabspd, if you use any bittorent then you will want to set some inbound rules. In the firestarter main window click the Policy Tab. Seclect inbound traffic policy in the editing drop down list.
[12:26] <ikonia> LimCore: with what ?
[12:26] <gronne> ikonia: Well, you said I needed to specify a port... All I want is for it to run <IP_ADDRESS>.. but I guess it needs a port as well then
[12:26] <LimCore> ikonia: with good job, http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html
[12:26] <LimCore> ikonia: with http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html
[12:26] <jo4> jrib, uhm.. i should maybe have done like ssh -X first, i just did 'gconftool-2'
[12:26] <ikonia> gronne: thats right
[12:26] <rabspd> emma: then what to do?
[12:26] <LimCore> hm wait, this is not #ubuntu-bugs
[12:26]  * LimCore moves to other chanel
[12:26] <jrib> jo4: weird, I unset DISPLAY and gconftool-2 still worked for me
[12:26] <gronne> ikonia: is tere a way to find out what that port would be
[12:26] <ikonia> LimCore: why are you showing this graph ?
[12:27] <ikonia> LimCore: what has that got to do with ubuntu fails comments ?
[12:27] <emma> rabspd, Right click in the second box on the Policy Tab. And then select Add Rule.  To allow use of a Bittorent select the Bittorent choice.
[12:27] <ikonia> gronne: but what do you want to allow them to do  ?
[12:27] <jo4> jrib, oh, that's weird
[12:27] <emma> rabspd, then click add and click Apply Policy.
[12:27] <LimCore> ikonia: ubuntu still dont warn users to secure servers used with weak key - and hackers already take advantage :/
[12:27] <emma> rabspd, that should do it.
[12:27] <ikonia> LimCore: you've been asked multiple times to stop going on about this
[12:27] <ikonia> LimCore: this is not a support issue - it doesn't need warning, it auto updates
[12:27] <emma> I need to fly or I'll be late to work. I hope that helps rabspd
[12:27] <gronne> ikonia: so I can ftp into my pc from my xbox(xbmc) in order to watch videos.. I'm really a newbie :)
[12:28] <emma> see everyone later on today.
[12:28] <ikonia> LimCore: please stop going on about this
[12:28] <LimCore> ikonia: well just twice including this one but ok
[12:28] <ikonia> gronne: ports 21 and 22
[12:28] <rabspd> emma: thank did.
[12:28] <freakabcd> hi all
[12:28] <gronne> ok.. thanks I'll try!
[12:28] <ikonia> LimCore: and you where told earlier to stop dicussing it
[12:28] <rabspd> emma: then.
[12:28] <freakabcd> can someone help me out with input language support?
[12:28] <emma> good luck rabspd -- Enjoy your Ubuntu ♥
[12:28] <rabspd> emma: thanks.
[12:28] <freakabcd> i had scim/anthy working perfectly in gutsy
[12:28] <ikonia> rabspd: why do you need a firewall if your on a lan ?
[12:29] <overdose> does compiz-fusion come with Hardy Heron when installed?
[12:29] <freakabcd> but when i try the same in hardy, it scim doesn;t seem to activate at all for some reason
[12:29] <ikonia> rabspd: surly the lan will have network firewall on it ?
[12:29] <ikonia> overdose: it does
[12:29] <rabspd> ikonia: No.
[12:29] <rabspd> ikonia: there is not any network firewall
[12:29] <ikonia> rabspd: your network has no security devices on it at all ?
[12:29] <dimedo> my firefox doesn't seem to trust the CAs from the ca-certificate packet on ubuntu. is this default behavior? can i set up firefox to do so?
[12:29] <rabspd> freakabck: what happened?
[12:30] <rabspd> ikonia: no?
[12:30] <freakabcd> rabspd, ctrl-Space activates nothing
[12:30] <ikonia> rabspd: odd.
[12:30] <jo4> so, what am i looking for? i tried searching for resolution and the actual resolution it self, but no ciger
[12:30] <ikonia> rabspd: unusual I should say sorry
[12:30] <gronne> ikonia: weird.. I opened both ports, but it still didn't allow me to enter my pc
[12:30] <freakabcd> although i have scim running on the panel and have setup the right combo in the scim setup dialog
[12:30] <ikonia> gronne: is ftp running on your server ?
[12:30] <ikonia> gronne: sorry, ports 20 and 21, typo on my part, sorry
[12:30] <bazhang> freakabcd, for irc or firefox
[12:31] <rabspd> u can change keyboard layout using mouse also.
[12:31] <gronne> ikonia: ok, I'll try again
[12:31] <overdose> ikonia: hi there.  First i like to thank you for your attention to my question.  How come i don't have the cube tho?
[12:31] <freakabcd> bazhang, err.. for all apps no?
[12:31] <hashman> hello all, does ubuntu have any tool similar to SaX2 in SuSE for configuring the desktop?
[12:31] <ikonia> gronne: sorry, my misdtake
[12:31] <freakabcd> bazhang, scim/anthy is supposed to work for all apps
[12:31] <ikonia> overdose: it's install,ed you have to set it up and configure it
[12:31] <freakabcd> not just firefox/irc
[12:31] <bazhang> freakabcd, best to change system language then
[12:31] <freakabcd> bazhang, what?
[12:31] <ikonia> overdose: install the simple-ccsm package to configure it
[12:31] <freakabcd> bazhang, NO. i want to use english everywhere. but be able to type in japanese whenever i want
[12:31] <rich_> does anyone know how to configure the broadcast frequency for SSDP
[12:32] <freakabcd> not have everything shown in japanese
[12:32] <bazhang> freakabcd, hmm; works here-->do you have the trigger keys set correctly
[12:32] <freakabcd> bazhang, yes.
[12:32] <freakabcd> ctrl-space, ctrl-shift-space
[12:32] <rabspd> What do i need to share internet connection in ubuntu server?
[12:32] <overdose> ikonia:  mmm... its been a while since i last used ubuntu.  I had beryl installed on ubuntu 6.10 before.  oH okay, so if i do a simple apt-get install simple-ccsm, it'll do the trick right?
[12:32] <ikonia> rabspd: iptables
[12:32] <ikonia> rabspd: or proxy services like squick and socks5
[12:33] <freakabcd> bazhang, i have even setup the hotkey in the anthy subitem in the scim setup
[12:33] <alzamabar_> Hi, is there anyone who could help?
[12:33] <ikonia> overdose: that gets you the package, then launch ccsm and it will help you configure compiz
[12:33] <Filled-Void> Hello all has anyone installed artwiz fonts on Ubuntu hardy and get it to work. I cant seem to get those fonts to work with my system.
[12:33] <ikonia> alzamabar_: with what ?
[12:33] <bazhang> freakabcd, did scim tell you to re-launch
[12:33] <rabspd> ikonia: will you give me some idea, how to share internet connection through server?
[12:33] <alzamabar_> ikonia, I've just installed the latest version and two weird things happened
[12:33] <freakabcd> bazhang, i have logged out a few times, and even did a reboot!
[12:33] <wols_> rabspd: NAT. you will need 2 network interfaces
[12:33] <overdose> ikonia: i'll give that a try.  thx
[12:33] <gronne> ikonia: Don't worry, I'm just glad someone helps me :) anyway, the bad part is that it still doesn't work.. maybe it isn't ftp'ing it's doing.. it uses samba to view files I've shared
[12:33] <ikonia> rabspd: well, you can either do it at a firewall level with iptables, or install services like squid and socks 5
[12:33] <wols_> rabspd: ipmasq and dnsmasq are the packages
[12:33] <alzamabar_> ikonia, the first is that apparently my network details have gone lost
[12:34] <ikonia> rabspd: if they are on the same lan as you though, surly they will just use the same setup you are
[12:34] <bazhang> freakabcd, what I meant was relaunch the scim itself not reboot etc
[12:34] <rabspd> which one is easy?
[12:34] <ikonia> gronne: ahhh ok, samba is a different thing
[12:34] <ikonia> rabspd: squid is probably easier for web browsing
[12:34] <ikonia> Raptelan: but it's up to you
[12:34] <freakabcd> bazhang, huh? logging out and logging back in relaunches scim. rebooting achieves the same
[12:34] <daver_au> hey, i've just upgraded to hardy, and it broke my network drivers. I need to know how to fix them, but i dont really know where to start.
[12:34] <wols_> ikonia: you think? no config file editing?
[12:34] <freakabcd> dont tell me you think i didn;t restart scim!
[12:34] <ikonia> rabspd: but if they are on the same lan as you, why do you need it
[12:35] <alzamabar_> The second is that I had to partitions hd which are not being recognised
[12:35] <wols_> daver_au: what network card?
[12:35] <gronne> ikonia: would it be a different port for samba then?
[12:35] <ikonia> wols_: squid - couple of lines, iptables for someone who doesn't understand it....touch call
[12:35] <alzamabar_> Can somebody help pls?
[12:35] <ikonia> gronne: surly would
[12:35] <bazhang> freakabcd, how about right clicking in xchat window
[12:35] <ikonia> alzamabar_: what do you mean "gone"
[12:35] <daver_au> wols_: will just check. realtek i think
[12:35] <rabspd> ikonia: my server is using windows currently, i want to replace it by ubuntu server
[12:35] <gronne> ikonia: I try and google to see what port it is
[12:35] <alzamabar_> ikonia, that basically now the localhost name is not recognised
[12:35] <ikonia> gronne: I was just doing that, well done for doing it
[12:35] <ikonia> alzamabar_: where does it say that, what are you doing when it says that
[12:35] <freakabcd> bazhang, right click in xchat window and?
[12:36] <gronne> ikonia: I can't be lazy ALL the time :)
[12:36] <alzamabar_> If I type ping jemoslinux, it says that it doesn't recognise the host name
[12:36] <ikonia> alzamabar_: thats probably your dns not being available
[12:36] <bazhang> あふや freakabcd
[12:36] <ikonia> alzamabar_: look in /etc/resolv.conf and do an ifconfig -a make sure you have ipaddresses
[12:36] <bazhang> choose scim bridge freakabcd
[12:36] <alzamabar_> ikonia, thanks I'll look into that
[12:37] <freakabcd> 万歳
[12:37] <daver_au> wols_: Realtek 8111/8169 LAN
[12:37] <freakabcd> i think it wasn't setting up my environ properly
[12:37] <freakabcd> after i did that it seems to work for xchat alone
[12:37] <alzamabar_> ikonia, I've got the following
[12:37] <alzamabar_> domain JEMOSGROUP
[12:37] <alzamabar_> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:37] <alzamabar_> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:37] <FloodBot2> alzamabar_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:37] <daver_au> wols_: it was working before, but i remember i updated the driver because of some weird issue
[12:37] <freakabcd> bazhang, i do have a line in my ~/.bashrc
[12:37] <rabspd> Thank you very much. bye everybody.
[12:38] <alzamabar_> Would I need anything else in there?
[12:38] <WhataH> Hi y'all, im trying to set up the ubuntu on virtualbox but when i do start it i get this error: COuld not find kernel image: linux. Any idea ?
[12:38] <ikonia> alzamabar_: you may need to use a fully qualified domain name, or put it in your host file, or use the "Search" option in /etc/resolv.conf
[12:39] <kate_mins> Hello, I need help please, how i can remove package from my Ubuntu without any traces ?
[12:39] <kate_mins> (from the terminal)
[12:39] <Dani_> hello ! i've used iptables -A FORWARD .... -j ACCEPT do do a port forward ; but now i need to stop it and i run the same command but with -j DROP
[12:39] <ikonia> kate_mins: apt-get remove --purge $name
[12:39] <freakabcd> bazhang, i have this in my ~/.bashrc: export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
[12:39] <Dani_> and its not working
[12:39] <alzamabar_> ikonia, do you mean in /etc/hosts
[12:39] <Dani_> pls help
[12:39] <freakabcd> is not enough?
[12:39] <airy_chan> hi
[12:40] <ikonia> Dani_: iptables -F
[12:40] <ikonia> Dani_: then re-apply
[12:40] <ikonia> alzamabar_: /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf
[12:40] <Dani_> ikonia L but i have a lot of rules i need to keep
[12:40] <ikonia> Dani_: also #iptables and #netfilter
[12:40] <Pedram> hi
[12:40] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=587eb85dfee661d06b531c2f6f156e0f&p=4444724&postcount=8 see this freakabcd
[12:40] <ikonia> Dani_: you can do iptables -F $rule"
[12:40] <freakabcd> lemme read
[12:40] <alzamabar_> ikonia, in /etc/hosts the name of my local host is there, and it hasn't changed as compared as before
[12:40] <ikonia> alzamabar_: I didn't say anything about that
[12:40] <alzamabar_> ikonia, what shall I put in /etc/resolv.conf
[12:41] <Pedram> i have a problem with my hsf modem
[12:41] <effe> Hello, when i boot with the 2.6.24 Kernel i can't connect to the unsecured WLAN at my university, but my WPA network at home works with the 2.6.24 kernel.
[12:41] <ikonia> alzamabar_: I said "you'll need to use a fully qualified domain, OR put it in your host file OR use the Search string in /etc/resolv.conf"
[12:41] <alzamabar_> ikonia, how do I use the Search string in /etc/resolv.conf
[12:41] <katz__>  /join #OSC2008Nagoya
[12:41] <ikonia> alzamabar_: search $domain
[12:42] <daver_au> wols_: i think i know where to start...
[12:42] <gronne> ikonia: god damnit... how hard could it be, I opened port 139 and 445, which they say smb uses, but still no go... only if I disable ufw will it work... do I really need ufw?
[12:42] <daver_au> wols_: i'll just redownload and reinstall the drivers from the realtek site
[12:42] <alzamabar_> ikonia, do I need to restart anything after adding this string?
[12:42] <wols_> daver_au: wlan?
[12:42] <ikonia> gronne: my personal opinion is that tools like ufw, firestarter, and the like are not good tools for interfacing with iptables, I'd drop all rules, and learn to add some basic iptables rules
[12:42] <ikonia> gronne: thats only my personal view though
[12:42] <ikonia> alzamabar_: no
[12:43] <daver_au> wols_: nope, just normal internal on-motherboard cabled lan
[12:43] <amorphous__> ok - i have problems printing on a HP1020. I have tried a lot. - have re-instaled hotplug stuff as openprinting stuff suggests, but the printer does not print
[12:43] <alzamabar_> ikonia, if my domain was named JEMOSGROUP and my localhost was named jemoslinux, would the following string be correct in /etc/resolv.conf? search JEMOSGROUP
[12:43] <gronne> ikonia: ok... I think I'll do that :) but is there a real need for a firewall when you have it in the router already?
[12:44] <ikonia> alzamabar_: what type of domain is that, it's not a dns domain
[12:44] <ikonia> gronne: if you have a router setup with an ok rule set, I don't see a need, depends how paranoid you are
[12:44] <wols_> daver_au: those are supported by ubuntu usually
[12:44] <ikonia> amorphous__: hot plug died a long time ago, not sure what your installing
[12:44] <alzamabar_> ikonia, in /etc/resolv.conf I've got the configuration of two nameserver entries
[12:45] <alzamabar_> ikonia, with their IP addresses
[12:45] <ikonia> alzamabar_: why do you not answer the questions I've asked
[12:45] <ikonia> alzamabar_: I didn't ask anything about IP addresses
[12:45] <gronne> ikonia: ok, I'm not very paranoid, so it should be alright :) thanks a lot for the help, you're really helpful!
[12:45] <daver_au> wols_: yeah, i know, but i think me installing a custom driver in gutsy might have borked the upgrade
[12:45] <wols_> alzamabar_: do you confuse windows workgroups with dns?
[12:45] <ikonia> alzamabar_: I asked "what kind of domain is that"
[12:45] <ikonia> gronne: welcome
[12:45] <gordonjcp> gronne: if you're behind NAT and you're really just using a normal Linux desktop (ie. you're not running any servers) then basically you don't need to do any more
[12:45] <kajmeran> slm
[12:45] <kajmeran> hi
[12:45] <alzamabar_> ikonia, I don't know. How should I answer?
[12:45] <Pedram> i have problem with my hsf modem
[12:45] <Pedram> can anyone help me
[12:46] <wols_> Pedram: buy a real modem, ditch this winmodem stuff
[12:46] <kajmeran> yes
[12:46] <gronne> gordonjcp: I'm not using NAT though, but is it really a problem?
[12:46] <jatt> winmodems are cheap though
[12:46] <Pedram> i have a laptop
[12:46] <alzamabar_> ikonia, how could I find out?
[12:46] <ikonia> alzamabar_: "what kind of a domain is that, it's not a dns domain" should be responded with "it's a windows Activce directory, or a samba domain, or an LDAP schema", not "I have 2 ipaddresses"
[12:46] <ikonia> alzamabar_: you set it up, you should know
[12:46] <gordonjcp> gronne: it's not a huge problem
[12:46] <wols_> gronne: ifconfig. what IP Addresses do you have?
[12:46] <Dr_willis> finding a real modem these days can be a chore. :)
[12:46] <Pedram> i could work with my modem on 7.10
[12:46] <jatt> winmodems are ok, I had one and worked perfectly with linux
[12:47] <Pedram> but i have problem with my modem on 8.04
[12:47] <alzamabar_> ikonia, I've set it up previously through the network settings tool, I didn't manipulate the file automatically
[12:47] <Pedram> i use dell driver
[12:47] <Pici> !enter | Pedram
[12:47] <ikonia> alzamabar_: lets cut to the chase - you want to be able to ping your hosts, yes/no?
[12:47] <Pedram> but i don't know why it dowesn't work
[12:48] <wols_> Pedram: which driver? from where?
[12:48] <gordonjcp> Pedram: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
[12:48] <gronne> wols_: you want the <IP_ADDRESS>.. ifconfig doesn't give out my ip adress. should I see at whatsmyip.com?
[12:48] <alzamabar_> ikonia, I want my PC to assign a static IP address from my DNS server and I want this IP address to be bound to the name jemoslinux
[12:48] <gordonjcp> Pedram: that suggests that you need to install "alsa-driver-linuxant'
[12:48] <visf> hi, anybody know where i can find beginner info to setup a mail server?
[12:48] <wols_> gronne: no, ifconfig. if it gives you <IP_ADDRESS> you use NAT

[12:49] <Pedram> i installed it too
[12:49] <alzamabar_> ikonia, I've got a wireless router which assigns IP addresses to my PC based on its MAC address
[12:49] <gordonjcp> !mailserver | visf
[12:49] <wols_> visf: look for a dovecot howto
[12:49] <ikonia> alzamabar_: ok, so you need to setup a DHCP server on your host, assign an IP address to it via pattern matching mac address from your PC, then you need to setup 2 dns servers, with dynamic dns and use a DNS update tool to update dns with your hostname and IP address
[12:49] <gronne> wols_: ok... Was pretty sure I didn't. how could you know it's nat because of that ip?
[12:49] <gordonjcp> Pedram: did you install the alsa-driver-linuxant package?
[12:50] <Pedram> yes
[12:50] <wols_> gronne: cause it's a non routable IP, typically used for the hosts behind NAT
[12:50] <JackWinter> i have some dvds that are Mac/PC.  on xp no problems to access the disks.  when i try from kubuntu i'm denied access unless i access them as root ?
[12:50] <visf> hey guys thanks ill looking into it
[12:50] <daver_au> wols_: well, this doesnt work. "sudo make clean modules" fails
[12:50] <alzamabar_> ikonia, I've already got a DHCP server, it's my wireless router, and it's also setup to assign a static IP address to my PC based on its MAC address
[12:50] <wols_> daver_au: what NIC?
[12:50] <ikonia> alzamabar_: ok, so you need to setup dynamic dns servers and dynamic dns clients on your PC
[12:50] <wols_> ikonia: not really. he should set up dyndns on the router if possible. nmost can do it
[12:51] <ikonia> wols_: whe wants to do it on his dns server, and register clients behind the router
[12:51] <wols_> alzamabar_: how is your DNS set up?
[12:51] <daver_au> wols_: Realtek 8111B-GR nic
[12:51] <gronne> wols_: Ok, I take your word for it... Now I'll disable ufw :)
[12:52] <wols_> ikonia: depends who/what resolves DNS for him
[12:52] <alzamabar_> wols, my PC is connected via Ethernet cable to the router, so it should already get an IP address. It was working before the upgrade to 8.04 and after the upgrade this is not working anymore
[12:52] <ArthurArchnix> Ok... turns out cover art retrieval in Rythymbox for Gutsy is broken. If you've already got local art it will display that, but the page (amazon I think it was) that it downloaded new art from changed its protocols. It's been fixed upstream and in Hardy... but will not be made available in Gutsy. So... if you want cover art you either have to download it and place it in "covers" under the rhythmbox config files under ~/, or
[12:52] <airy_chan> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[12:52] <wols_> tricky with routers since they usually contain a DNS server which is not configurable
[12:52] <gordonjcp> Pedram: maybe there's some clues here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4762328
[12:52] <wols_> alzamabar_: what isn't? the dhcp?
[12:52] <gronne> Btw, is anyone here being paid to help us newbies?
[12:52] <ikonia> wols_: he said it was his internal dns - but he could be wrong
[12:53] <jatt> this is not a callcenter dude
[12:53] <freakabcd> bazhang, using the method of scim-bridge, i will be able to use ja input language for gtk and qt apps
[12:53] <freakabcd> bazhang, what about plain old X apps?
[12:53] <vlt> Hello. I have an openssl vulnerability question: Could an attacker log in after sniffing ssh traffic when all logins to the machine with a compromised host key were done using not compromised pubkey auth?
[12:53] <wols_> daver_au: modpobr r8168 or so
[12:53] <wols_> Modprobe r8168
[12:53] <freakabcd> bazhang, iirc with my previous method i was able to use ja language input even on xterm for example
[12:53] <Quintin> I'm using a laptop and seemingly randomly my mouse cursor will start going down and to the left and will be stuck there... what is problem??
[12:53] <bazhang> freakabcd, from reading the scim wiki most are supported under hardy
[12:54] <wols_> daver_au: vanilla linux kernel already supports this chip
[12:54] <freakabcd> bazhang, where is this page?
[12:54] <freakabcd> bazhang, also i can input ja in xterm?
[12:54] <freakabcd> have you tried input your language in xterm, does it work?
[12:54] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM no idea about xterm
[12:54] <daver_au> wols_: FATAL: module r8168 not found.
[12:55] <wols_> daver_au: go to /lib/modules. look for r*.ko files
[12:55] <wols_> one of them is it. r8....
[12:55] <alzamabar_> wols, ikonia, I ran an ifconfig -a and for the Ethernet connection I can see the following:  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:55] <Pedram> gordonjcp i can't find the point
[12:55] <Kernel-1> hi all
[12:55] <alzamabar_> woks, ikonia, that suggests that the IP address for my localhost is correct, right?
[12:55] <root> ola
[12:55] <root> fala ae
[12:55] <wols_> root: don't irc as root. also, this is a english only channel
[12:56] <wols_> !es | root
[12:56] <alzamabar_> wols, ikonia, however, when I ping jemoslinux (which should be bound to the IP address <IP_ADDRESS>) it says unknown host
[12:56] <daver_au> wols_: in /lib/modules/(latest kernal)/ then where?
[12:56] <wols_> alzamabar_: how did you bind jemoslinux to the IP?
[12:57] <wols_> daver_au: in any subdir
[12:57] <alzamabar_>  wols_, ikonia, I ran an ifconfig -a and for the Ethernet connection I can see the following:  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:57] <osmosis> where are instructions on patching the ssh issue ?
[12:57] <wols_> !sshbug
[12:57] <alzamabar_> wols_, ikonia, that suggests that the IP address for my localhost is correct, right?
[12:57] <osmosis> !ssh
[12:57] <wols_> alzamabar_: localhost is 127.0.0.x nothing else
[12:57] <alzamabar_> wols_, ikonia, however, when I ping jemoslinux (which should be bound to the IP address <IP_ADDRESS>) it says unknown host
[12:57] <Dr_willis> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-opensslsshvpn-vulnerability-in-ubuntu-704710804.html
[12:57] <wols_> alzamabar_: answer my question
[12:57] <ikonia> alzamabar_: you need a default domain
[12:58] <ikonia> wols_: he doesn't answer questions
[12:58] <osmosis> Dr_willis: thanx
[12:58] <alzamabar_> wols_, I opened the network settings
[12:58] <ikonia> osmosis: download the updated package - thats it
[12:58] <Dr_willis> osmosis,  its all over the various linux   live bookmarks i got. :) so i just saw it 2 min ago. :)
[12:58] <daver_au> wols_: i found a r8169.ko in kernal/drivers/net
[12:58] <alzamabar_> wols_ and under general I set host name = jemoslinux Domain name = JEMOSGROUP
[12:58] <osmosis> ikonia: i dont have to recreate my keys ?
[12:58] <m1r> hello
[12:58] <Kernel-1> <IP_ADDRESS> looks like switch addres (colected by DHCP from switch)
[12:59] <osmosis> Dr_willis: live bookmark to where ?
[12:59] <ikonia> osmosis: it does everything for you, update it via synaptic
[12:59] <osmosis> ikonia: im running server though.
[12:59] <sothe> Any one know what to download to be able to extract ".rar" files?
[12:59] <ikonia> osmosis: same applies
[12:59] <ikonia> sothe: unrar from the rar package
[12:59] <osmosis> ikonia:   sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[12:59] <Dr_willis> osmosis,  that site i gave for one. It as a live bookmarks for firefox. :) click in the little icon in the address bar to the right of the url.
[12:59] <ikonia> osmosis: yes
[12:59] <daver_au> wols_: i did modprobe r8169, and i think it's doing something now ...
[12:59] <wols_> alzamabar_: that is meaningless
[12:59] <wols_> daver_au: ifconfig -a
[13:00] <Becker_11> is there a way to pipe the output of a man page to a text file so I can email it?
[13:00] <wols_> daver_au: if you have eth0 now, then add r8169 in /etc/modules
[13:00] <alzamabar_> wols_ how can I help you in knowing what you need?
[13:00] <European-African> hello, I want to install ubuntu with /boot, / and swap all on primary partitions, and a lvm containing /home and a /backup partion, I have the 7.10 livecd and the alternate. Is there a guide on the net someone could point me to?
[13:00] <wols_> Becker_11: man foo > file ?
[13:00] <wols_> alzamabar_: what is your DNS server?
[13:00] <Becker_11> wols_ too easy thx
[13:00] <bunted> i tryed to set xserver now i get black screen
[13:01] <bunted> help
[13:01] <alzamabar_> wols_ how can I check?
[13:01] <wols_> alzamabar_: you have two places to set up DNS: your DNS server or /etc/hosts
[13:01] <bunted> if u have an idea
[13:01] <wols_> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[13:01] <bunted> is there a way to recovery ubuntu from a livecd?
[13:01] <_moro_> !mohammed_
[13:02] <_moro_> mohammed_ : my interned went down sorry
[13:02] <alzamabar_> wols_ in /etc/hosts, in addition to all others, I've got one entry for my local domain name: <IP_ADDRESS> jemoslinux.JEMOSGROUP
[13:02] <daver_au> wols_: seems to be working now... and i've added that line into the modules file.
[13:03] <daver_au> wols_:thanks for your help!
[13:04] <W5CT> what do you call the thingie which gives you security updates and such on the menu bar?
[13:04] <Radit> is there a way to install ubuntu from an usb drive?
[13:04] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_:  wb
[13:04] <keba_> ciao ragazzi,sapete dirmi come faccio ad ascoltare la radio con ubuntu?
[13:05] <alzamabar_> _wols, how can I check my DNS?
[13:05] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: my internet went down, sorry
[13:05] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: came back so say bye and thanks
[13:05] <Kernel-1> need this: One command in console to have a file output (.txt) of all HDD drives and partitions on the system. Anyone?
[13:05] <mohamed_> _moro_bana_: u r welcome
[13:05] <CShadowRun> Can anyone tell me how to fix the constant sound conflicts? (Wine and firefox really don't play nice)
[13:06] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: its important , moreso that people here are volunteers
[13:06] <Kernel-1> need this: One command in console to have a file output (.txt) that contains of all HDD drives and partitions on the system. Anyone?
[13:07] <janMD> mount > bla.txt?
[13:07] <aaron> compiz and everything don't play nice on this system, especially with scim for some odd reason.
[13:07] <mohamed_> yes _moro_bana_ this is the good side of opensource
[13:07] <Kernel-1> hmmmmmmm, jes, but only HDD's and Partitions
[13:08] <janMD> mount | grep /dev > bla.txt maybe?
[13:08] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: im loving it, viva ubuntu. bye
[13:08] <Kernel-1> how to filter just them?
[13:08] <DJones> !usb | Radit
[13:08] <Kernel-1> thats the trick i donno :)
[13:08] <janMD> :-P
[13:09] <Kernel-1> mount | grep /dev > bla.txt  - that would help in some degree ;)
[13:09] <European-African> sorry, I will have to ask that again. I want to install /boot, / and swap to 3 primary partitions and 1 lvm partition with /home and /backup, can anyone give me a link that explains how to do this on the ubuntu livecd or the alternative?
[13:09] <Kernel-1> because, I do not need all DEVICES, but only HDD's :)
[13:09] <janMD> grep /dev/h?
[13:10] <mh512> my qsynaptics does not work
[13:10] <janMD> (if devices hda etc)
[13:10] <Kernel-1> mount | grep /dev/h > bla.txt - like this?
[13:10] <mh512> I have set SHMConfig to true alr.
[13:10] <alzamabar_> wols_ I've solved the problem. the entry in the /etc/hosts was wrong. It should have been <IP_ADDRESS> jemoslinux instead of <IP_ADDRESS> jemoslinux.JEMOSGROUP
[13:10] <janMD> yes
[13:10] <Kernel-1> thanks
[13:10] <dystopianray> does anyone have half life 2 working on gutsy with an nvidia video card?
[13:10] <janMD> works?
[13:10] <Kernel-1> lemmy try... :)
[13:10] <alzamabar_> wols_ Now when I ping jemoslinux I correctly get <IP_ADDRESS> which is my local machine
[13:11] <Dr_willis> alzamabar_,  this is twice now ive seen someone with a hostname.SAMBAGROUPNAME in their hosts file.
[13:11] <Dr_willis> alzamabar_,   we never did figure out where that  SambaHostname Line came from
[13:11] <alzamabar_> Dr_willis, this was automatically set up by GG 7.10
[13:11] <ikonia> alzamabar_: thats exactly what I told you to do in the first line
[13:11] <ikonia> alzamabar_: I told you to search use a search domain in your /etc/resolv.conf OR put the hostname in your /etc/hosts file
[13:11] <alzamabar_> ikonia, thanks, but as I've said, this was working with 7.10 GG and it was automatically set up by the network utility
[13:12] <Kernel-1> There is nothing in the file? :))
[13:12] <Dr_willis> alzamabar_,  ive never seen that befor. In  all my ages of samba ussage. :) and so on.  Im wondering if theres a bug going on  somewhere.
[13:12] <European-African> I want to install /boot, / and swap to 3 primary partitions and 1 lvm partition with /home and /backup, can anyone give me a link that explains how to do this on the ubuntu livecd or the alternative?
[13:12] <amorphous__> ikonia - you still there?
[13:12] <janMD> try /dev/s then
[13:12] <ikonia> amorphous__: I am now
[13:12] <Kernel-1> ahhhhhh, yes
[13:12] <Kernel-1> its sd...
[13:12] <Dr_willis> dystopianray,  i hear most of the halflife games work very well with Wine.
[13:12] <mesah> anyone know how to make gemplus smart card reader to function on ubuntu?
[13:12] <Kernel-1> :))
[13:12] <alzamabar_> Dr_willis, after the upgrade I got another problem. Could you help?
[13:12] <dystopianray> Dr_willis: apparently not
[13:13] <aaron> anyone know how to get an eMobile working under Ubuntu?  It is a kind of modem but I don't know where the modem settings are
[13:13] <izinucs> European-African, you should be able to do that on the live cd choosing Manual Paratition when you get to the partitioning portion. should be pretty straight forward.
[13:13] <Dr_willis> dystopianray,  check the wine and !appdb app database. I dont  mess with wine and those games.
[13:13] <Dr_willis> !appdb
[13:13] <amorphous__> ikonia, with hp 1020 - hotplug stuff. I've googled 'till i'm blue in the face (and red too) -- the error log says i don't have auth to print (or similar), the only suggestion is hotplug. it doesn't work.
[13:13] <alzamabar_> Dr_willis, ikonia, before the upgrade I had 1 HD partitioned in two partitions with entry in the /etc/fstab file and everything was working fine
[13:13] <dystopianray> Dr_willis: yeah I know what appdb is
[13:14] <European-African> izinucs: and on the alternative?
[13:14] <amorphous__> ikonia, to get to the printer is over 100mile
[13:14] <jorgenpt> Okay, I have a Edgy Eft (6.10) server, should I upgrade directly to Hardy Heron (8.04), or should I go via Feisty (7.04) -> Gutsy (7.10) -> Hardy (8.04)?
[13:14] <izinucs> European-African, should be the same.. in fact the alternative is the only way to get lvm on install
[13:14] <Kernel-1> hmmm - still gives me something thats not HDD =devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
[13:14] <Kernel-1> :))
[13:14] <designerman> I need to reconfigure my X server - I am trying to use dpkg-reconfigure but I do not know the name of the package on ubuntu for x, I tried the obvious xserver-xorg but the error was that xserver is not installed ...
[13:14] <alzamabar_> Dr_willis, ikonia, now the two partitions are unrecognised (although the entries are still there in the /etc/fstab file, but the system in 'places' shows me the two partitions with another name
[13:14] <wols_> designerman: xserver-xorg
[13:15] <jorgenpt> Ah, I found the wikipage about it.
[13:15] <amorphous__> ikonia, and i've tried the hotplug thing loadsd of times, with reboots etc. Machine printed ok 'till 2 weeks ago (so they say), you have any ideas?
[13:15] <jorgenpt> Seems I should go in increments. :)
[13:15] <ikonia> andatche: hot plug died quite a while ago
[13:15] <vallhalla81> help me please i just installed virtual box from  synaptic  and it requested a restart i did so and now have lost my graphics card config and all sound
[13:15] <ikonia> amorphous__: hotplug died quite a qhile ago
[13:15] <wols_> alzamabar_: "mount"  which two partitions are it?
[13:15] <designerman> wols_: I get the error xserver-xorg is not installed...
[13:15] <MidasWS> Hello, What would be the command to copy (not move) one directory on root including all subdirs to another one?
[13:15] <ikonia> designerman: are you using a server install ?
[13:15] <European-African> izinucs: ok, thanx, I was actually looking for a guide somewhere that gave a step by step.
[13:15] <designerman> wols_: startx runs but there is an error - i need to reconfigure it does not recognise my graphics card driver
[13:15] <Dr_willis> alzamabar_,  a bit over my head. I always do clean installs.     Sounds like mount point confusiion.,
[13:15] <ikonia> MidasWS: sudo cp
[13:15] <Kernel-1> janMD - /dev/sda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,relatime,notail), devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) - I DON"T want the other one! :)
[13:16] <designerman> ikonia: Straight from a ubuntu live cd
[13:16] <ikonia> MidasWS: sudo cp -R
[13:16] <aaron> jorgen> I only went as far as 7.10.  Hardy does not like my laptop at all for some odd reason
[13:16] <wols_> designerman: apt-get install xorg
[13:16] <joaopinto> designerman, cp -a source_dir target_path
[13:16] <alzamabar_> wols_ shall I run the mount command?
[13:16] <wols_> Kernel-1: which one you don't want?
[13:16] <ikonia> designerman: your running on the livecd, with a desktop and it says you don't have xserver-xorg installed ?
[13:16] <wols_> alzamabar_: yes
[13:16] <Kernel-1> the other one
[13:16] <Kernel-1> I WANT just HDD's
[13:16] <Kernel-1> (partitions)
[13:16] <MidasWS> ikinoia, like this ? sudo cp -R asdsadf.com/ uytu.com/
[13:16] <designerman> ikonia: sorry I installed from the install cd out of the live cd pack
[13:16] <yacc> Hmm, any way to make xine dump the stream?
[13:16] <wols_> Kernel-1: you must have /dev/shm or your libc will blow up in your face
[13:16] <designerman> ikonia: havn't been able to start x yet
[13:17] <janMD> Kernel-1: well, grep for "/dev/sd" then...
[13:17] <Kernel-1> I know that
[13:17] <Radit> DJones: thanks :-)
[13:17] <alzamabar_> wols_ I suspect that are these two:
[13:17] <alzamabar_> wols_ /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[13:17] <amorphous__> ikonia, yr a bit busy now... maybe i best to ask later.
[13:17] <alzamabar_> wols_ /dev/sdb2 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[13:18] <wols_> alzamabar_: and what are the entries in your /etc/fstab?
[13:18] <amorphous__> ikonia, cheers
[13:18] <Kernel-1> - /sd(x) should be only HDD devices? - thats very important for me
[13:18] <layo> Hello~
[13:18] <alzamabar_> wols_ /dev/hdb1	/media/disk1	ext3	async,auto,exec,nosuid,nodev,group,owner,rw,errors=remount-ro	0	0
[13:18] <wols_> Kernel-1: not possible. usb flash is also /sda
[13:18] <ikonia> amorphous__: I'm off to do a little work now, I'll be back in 30- minutes or so, I'll spend some serious time with you then
[13:18] <alzamabar_> wols_ /dev/hdb2	/media/disk2	ext3	async,auto,exec,nosuid,nodev,group,owner,rw,errors=remount-ro	0	0
[13:18] <Kernel-1> cos' I need only THEM FILTERED! (thats tricjy)
[13:18] <wols_> alzamabar_: edit your fstab. change /dev/hdb1 to /dev/sdb1
[13:18] <vallhalla81> help me please i just installed virtual box from  synaptic  and it requested a restart i did so and now have lost my graphics card config and all sound
[13:19] <alzamabar_> wols_ thanks. Just out of curiosity, any reasons why this happened?
[13:19] <wols_> Kernel-1: you can also rename them via udev somehow. so they still exist but are called /dev/hda or such
[13:19] <wols_> alzamabar_: yes. around 2.6.18 or so, all disks are using scsi subsystem. before that IDE disks usd /dev/hdX
[13:20] <Kernel-1> hmmm - the reason I need this is to have my own comand to have a quick insight in which HDD;s are on a particular machine
[13:20] <wols_> but that must be an OLD install: ubuntu uses UUIDs in fstab for ages
[13:20] <izinucs> What's the easiest way to rename a bunch of jpg's in bulk so the names end up something like 1-<name>.jpg?
[13:20] <Dr_willis> wols_,  well.. in theory. :) i still have a few odd machines that stll give me /dev/hd##    not sure why that one machine does not use the /dev/sd## method.
[13:20] <troxor> izinucs: the rename command
[13:20] <alzamabar_> wols_ your help has been gr8. Thanks also to ikonia and Dr_willis. Is there a way I can restart the mount without having to restart the system?
[13:20] <wols_> Dr_willis: depends a bit on the driver and how it'S written
[13:21] <Dr_willis> alzamabar_,  you got a lot of odd options in that fstab line..  why the 'exec' option?
[13:21] <wols_> alzamabar_: after you changed it, unmount the two things and remount
[13:21] <vlt> izinucs: `find ... -exec mv {} 1-{}.jpg ;\` for example (there a much more ways ;)
[13:21] <CShadowRun> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4964100#post4964100
[13:21] <izinucs> troxor, I figured that.. :(  but what's the syntax.. I need the number to cascade up like 1-<name>.jpg 2-<name>.jpg
[13:22] <Kernel-1> is there any way that I know that some device is a HDD, regardles if it's sd(x) or hd(x)? - actually I need this
[13:22] <Dr_willis> wols_,  yea - i think its due to that machine haveing ide + sata controller and it being one of the first MB's out with both.
[13:22] <vlt> izinucs: Ok, you didn't tell that first ...
[13:22] <izinucs> vlt, thanks.. can I substitute cp for mv?
[13:22] <alzamabar_> wols_ it works now, thanks!!!
[13:22] <izinucs> vlt, new option?
[13:23] <mohamed_> izinucs: try rename *.jpg 1-*.jpg
[13:23] <wols_> Dr_willis: no. it's only a function of what driver it uses
[13:24] <izinucs> mohamed_, ah.. much easier... that's what I was thinking.  .. one more twist. the name is static and the number progresses up numerically with each pic.
[13:24] <vlt> izinucs: You could use a loop: `i=1; find ... | while read FILE; do mv "$FILE" "$i-$FILE"; i=$(($i+1)); done` ... but there must be a dozen tools already for this task ;)

[13:34] <Terrasque> something strange have happened with my file server's raid array after upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04. When I write large amounts of data to it (seems to be 2gb or more), the transfer stops, the raid does not store any more data, and load goes way up, slowly rising, and peaking around 30-40.. XFS filesystem, if I try to reboot, it just says "umount2: device or resource busy" and hangs
[13:35] <pion> hello
[13:36] <wols_> Terrasque: bad driver?
[13:36] <designerman> how can i list installed packaged?
[13:36] <dthacker> Terrasque: /var/log/messages says what?

[13:38] <Pici> Terrasque: Try asking in #ubuntu-server as well
[13:38] <Terrasque> wols_: yes, and it's not telling what's wrong. It could be .. xfs file system, the raid5 part, or the hdd part.. I have no idea
[13:39] <vlt> Hello. I installed Ubuntu using the CD installer. In the partitioning part I accepted the suggested option that shrinks existing NTFS on /dev/hda1.

[13:39] <overdose> visik7: thx.  I upgraded from tiny to full cuz i wanted highlighting and the left-right-up-down keys to work in vim.

[13:47] <vlt> wols_: If I'm right the first 512 Byte is MBR including Partition table, then comes, hmmm, GRUB? What was there before? I made backups of first 63 sectors, so I could restore it. The NTFS should still be smaller and reside on a larger partition now. Any idea how to fix it?
[13:48] <troxor> vlt: usually, I just beat it over the head with the `grub-install /dev/hda` stick until it gives up
[13:48] <overdose> visik7: i've been away from ubuntu for 6 months.  prior to that i had 10 months of experience in it

[13:57] <adam7> Quintin: you are indeed right, sorry :/ Totem opens when you put a dvd in, right?
[13:57] <Quintin> adam7: yes
[13:58] <Dr_willis> noob-africa_,  try some other players like gmplayer, or vlc?  i havent tried a SVCD in years..,.
[13:58] <steve_j> wols_ ah, so if my server is not getting the right DNS for a domain yet, all i can do is wait for my hosts's own DNS lookup to update?
[13:58] <Quintin> it would be great if the devs could not screw everything up so on new release.  that's what beta testers are for
[13:58] <Quintin> adam7: I'd like vlc, since it can actually show menus etc
[13:58] <wols_> x
[13:58] <adam7> Quintin: yeah, totem can do that too, IIRC

[13:58] <Dr_willis> noob-africa_,  no idea. It may not need tobe mounted to be played by vlc./gmplayer. I aint seen one of those kinds of disks in ages
[13:58] <bridean> blame:  I have all of those fonts as well as about 4000 different truetype fonts that I could try.  That's not my problem.  My problem is getting certain windows to display a decent font.
[13:58] <BVBBQ> oh well, ill try my more important problem. the drivers for my videocard are running crazy. like 10hrz refresh rate or something,
[13:59] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis: and i have just lost my maximize, minimize and close buttons on Firefox... cant see the Title bar also...
[13:59] <bridean> blame:  Maybe if I sent you a few screen shots you would understand what I am talking about
[13:59] <noob-africa_> i think compiz is messing up Firefox, somehow... lol
[13:59] <Dr_willis> noob-africa_,  if all windows have lost their 'decorations' then thats sounds like compiz crashing, or whatever window-decorator you are using.
[13:59] <blame> bridean: some times its theme problem, try switching your theme
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: do you have your video drivers installed?
[14:00] <adam7> Quintin: ok, well, the DVD play back *used* to be under System -> Prefs -> Removable stuff -> Multimedia, but it seems to have vanished
[14:00] <steve_j> wols_ how can i do that? my *nix is patchy :)
[14:00] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis: am using compiz

[14:01] <adam7> Dr_willis: oh goody, a treasure hunt :D
[14:01] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis: desktop cube is working fine... but the decorators have failed only on Firefox... all other windows open normally
[14:01] <lartza_> how do i get remote access to windows computer? what do i have to install there and to ubuntu?
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: id uninstall it and switch to vesa then find a walkthrough to install a different driver
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: or check your xorg.conf to see if you can hike your refresh
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: what video card do you use?
[14:01] <adam7> Quintin: Totem is the default program for DVD-playback in Hardy, and the is no obvious way to change it <--- not looking good
[14:02] <vlt> troxor: No, that didn't work. When I boot from the "new" MBR but with sectors 2-63 from before the install I only get infinitely scrolling "GRUB" on the screen.
[14:02] <mohamed_> lartza_:  u don't need to install anything, there is already terminal server client
[14:02] <adam7> Quintin: try this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_make_VLC_open_when_you_insert_a_DVD
[14:02] <BVBBQ> hmm, i have a radion X1300 or something like that, and how would i check the xorg.config or what to look for
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: let me websearch first
[14:03] <Quintin> adam7: ok this is so stupid
[14:03] <mohamed_> lartza_:  Applications > internet > terminal server client
[14:03] <Quintin> adam7: nautilus > edit > prefs > media tab
[14:03] <BVBBQ> ActionParsnip,  thanks dude
[14:03] <bridean> To be honest, I much prefer mplayer to totem.   In the past, I always regarded totem to be a "not play movies" program whereas mplayer is a "play movies even if the file is broken" kind of program.

[14:03]  * adam7 updates Ubuntu Guide
[14:04] <BVBBQ> bridean, the best video playing program i know of is VLC, if it cant play it, its probly not a video file.

[14:04]  * yacc is happy, at last, a player that understands dvdnav and that can rip the stream. That's for the nasties from Sony.
[14:05] <Dr_willis> adam7,  now was that a gnome change? or did ubuntu change it in gnome? No idea :)   we need a 'search for the settings tool!'
[14:05] <adam7> Quintin: gotta love it though, you *still* can't change to VLC from there xD

[14:06] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis:
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> hi noob-africa_
[14:06] <Dr_willis> adam7,  last time i tried to change a default program on gnome..  (from totem to gmplayer)  it had hissy fits with spaces in the filenames/paths. :(
[14:06] <adam7> Dr_willis: yeah, it appears that gnome likes gnome apps, and no others
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: just dont run sudo gedit if the walkthrough says
[14:06] <Dr_willis> noob-africa_,  i perfer to NOT use compiz at all.. just because its so flakey
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: use gksudo gedit
[14:07] <BVBBQ> thanks
[14:07] <bridean> BVBBQ:  Yeah, and Totem is a "can't play the movie even if the file will play with any other movie player" kind of movie playing program.  It baffles me as to why it's set as the automatic default movie player when there are so many obvious better choices out there.  It's actually easier to reboot to windows and play it with Windows Media player sometimes than to try to play it with totem.

[14:10] <bridean> hypn0:  How do I paste a picture in this channel?
[14:10] <miickee> adam7, which paramters do I change to make it run faster? And make the dma larger?
[14:10] <adam7> bridean: you'll have to upload it to xs.to or imageshack or something
[14:11] <adam7> miickee: no idea, sorry :(
[14:11] <SilenceGold> bridean do it with acsi converter
[14:11] <blame> bridean: ok
[14:11] <BVBBQ> ActionParsnip, ... um there isnt anything in my xorg.conf
[14:11] <mvirkkil> What time does FOSSCamp start tomorrow?
[14:11] <adam7> SilenceGold: converting it to ascii kinda ruins the effect... :P
[14:11] <ngzn> like I was saying...
[14:11] <ngzn> is this common with a fresh Hardy install?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> BVBBQ: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:12] <ngzn> [  147.233424] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
[14:12] <ngzn> [  147.233427] ata1.00: error: { UNC }
[14:12] <adam7> ngzn: can you define "this" for us?
[14:12] <adam7> ah, sorry
[14:13] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis: what command do i uses (terminal) to disable it?
[14:13] <bridean> Ok, try [URL=http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3wp9.png][IMG]http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4664/screenshot3wp9.th.png[/IMG][/URL]
[14:13] <d_rea> What is the easiest way to upgrade only a specific set of packages (from the terminal)?
[14:13] <adam7> d_rea: I think sudo apt-get install set-of-packages can do it
[14:14] <Slart> d_rea: second time I hear that question today... why do you only want to update a specific set of packages?
[14:14] <Dr_willis> noob-africa_,  no idea on the commands, just use the menus to set the settings level to none. or run 'metacity --replace'
[14:14] <adam7> bridean: the email the problem?
[14:14] <adam7> change the monospace font
[14:14] <d_rea> slart: it's for a server and I don't want to change to many things at once
[14:14] <crash91> I have a 17" LCD at home, when i try to connect it to my laptop, it just becomes a duplicate of the one on the laptop. How can i use it as an extension to the screen? I.e. when i move my mouse left it goes to the other screen?
[14:15] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis: done... firefox behaving as prior
[14:15] <bridean> adam7:  Yeah, the email that starts with "congradulations ...."
[14:15] <d_rea> Slart: There's a certain critical upgrade I want to get, but I'd like to leave the rest the same since it's stable
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> d_rea: websearching now
[14:15] <Slart> d_rea: hmm...the openssl one?
[14:15] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis: i cant even see the OTHER desktops... i think am going to run firefox --replace
[14:15] <d_rea> Slart: yes
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> d_rea: just install it as if its not there
[14:15] <adam7> bridean: yeah, change the monospace font in Firefox
[14:15] <bridean> Adam7:  Where do I change that?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> d_rea: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox
[14:16] <adam7> bridean: I think its in the firefox preference
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> d_rea: for example ^
[14:16] <bridean> I don't want to change it in just firefox.  Other programs use this annoying font as well.
[14:16] <Slart> d_rea: I thought the whole idea of using separate version of a distro was to prevent it from changing to much..
[14:16] <adam7> bridean: yeah, prefs -> content -> fonts and colors / advanced -> monospace
[14:17] <Slart> d_rea: but well.. I won't tell you how to do your thing... I don't know if apt can update just a couple of packages.. you might want to look into aptitude as well.. it might do things differently
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Slart: if you just try to install the package it willupdateonly that one
[14:17] <d_rea> Slart: True, but i've been bitten by upgrades before. I don't have time and a separate system to vet everything on first before I do it. I've ended up with a broken system more than once.
[14:18] <adam7> d_rea: did sudo apt-get install packages-to-update not work?
[14:18] <ngolinh> 22222
[14:18] <d_rea> adam7: Running it now
[14:18] <Slart> ActionParsnip: sounds reasonable.... never tried it myself though
[14:18] <adam7> d_rea: ok :)
[14:19] <bridean> Here is another example:  [URL=http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotom7.png][IMG]http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/8536/screenshotom7.th.png[/IMG][/URL]
[14:19] <d_rea> adam7: that's doing the trick :D
[14:19] <miickee> Anyone help me wiht hdparm/sdparm?
[14:19] <mohbana> hi guys
[14:19] <adam7> d_rea: great, couldn't remember if that worked or not
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> miickee: i have no knowledge of it man, sorry
[14:19] <Slart> d_rea: do you have more than one computer you keep behind on the updates like this? might want to create a little repo of your own.. with only the packages you want
[14:19] <miickee> Anyone here?
[14:20] <lucky711x> how to speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....????
[14:20] <mohbana> hi guys i am having problems with wifi, ubuntu is detecting my wifi usb card but it fails to content to the router. any ideas?
[14:20] <gordonjcp> miickee: lots of people here
[14:20] <adam7> miickee: yeah, we're here...
[14:20] <d_rea> adam7: That's really handy, I'll be sure to keep note of that
[14:20] <miickee> Ok.
[14:20] <miickee> Well.
[14:20] <gordonjcp> mohbana: can you see the wireless router in network manager?
[14:20] <miickee> My output from the timing results are so slow.
[14:20] <adam7> bridean: might want to try the system wide monspace font too, then :)
[14:20] <d_rea> Slart: it's an option, we don't have a proper sysadmin though and I'm really more of a dev.
[14:20] <adam7> miickee: with sdparm too?
[14:20] <miickee> I need to make it faster to enable good dvd playback
[14:20] <mohbana> gordonjcp: yes i can
[14:21] <bridean> adam7:  Thanks, that fixed the problem in firefox.  What about in freeciv?
[14:21] <miickee> I dunno how to use sdparm, the man page is so vague.
[14:21] <miickee> I need to know which parameters to change
[14:21] <BonezAU> Are there any other GUI's available for PPTP VPN connections than NetworkManager?
[14:21] <Slart> d_rea: ah.. I have no idea how hard it is to setup.. well.. this worked too
[14:21] <bridean> adam7:  Where is the system wide monospace font setting at?
[14:21] <adam7> bridean: System -> Prefs -> Appearance -> Fonts and change the monospace front
[14:21] <adam7> bridean: ideally, you'd choose another monspace font to replace it, but doesn't need to be if having a monospace font isn't important to you
[14:22] <lucky711x> how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....????
[14:22] <d_rea> Slart: yeah, i suspect that you'd have to spend a bunch of time every week keeping it up-to-date
[14:22] <adam7> BonezAU: not that I'm aware of, but that doesn't mean there isn't
[14:22] <bobbob1016> Anyone know if I there is libeel for Hardy yet?  I want to use Fusion's Wallpaper plugin, and keep my desktop icons.
[14:22] <Slart> d_rea: wasn't that the very idea? to not keep it up to date except with special cases like this..
[14:22] <jrib>  !info libeel2-2 | bobbob1016
[14:23] <jrib> bobbob1016: whether or not that does what you asked, I don't know :)
[14:23] <darren_> should i reinstall ubuntu since i have a new motherboard installed
[14:23] <d_rea> Slart: well it's really that I don't want my systems completely up-to-date, *except* in special circumstances
[14:23] <userlol> darren_ nah you should be ok dude, its your drivers you have to worry about
[14:23] <miickee> All: I need help with sdparm parameters.
[14:23] <Radit> how to repair grub on a harddisk that used vista's recover from vista dvd?
[14:23] <adam7> userlol: darren_: linux doesn't use drivers, so you should be all set
[14:23] <userlol> darren_ backup your important files, and see how it go's
[14:23] <miickee> TO fix slow read speeds.
[14:24] <darren_> ok could that cause my system to freeze up
[14:24] <lucky711x> how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....????
[14:24] <userlol> adam7 linux doesnt use drivers?
[14:24] <bridean> Adam7:  Under system -> appearence -> preferences -> fonts which one do I change?  Application font?  The only one that is monospace is the "fixed width" font which I have set to monospace bold.  That controls the font that is used when I run a terminal so I know that one doesn't need to be changed.
[14:24] <bobbob1016> adam7, It does use drivers, just differently.
[14:24] <adam7> miickee: are you sure the drive isn't just inherently slow?
[14:24] <Radit> how to repair grub on a harddisk that used recover vista from vista dvd?
[14:24] <Slart> d_rea: hehe.. ok.. whatever makes you a happy productive dev =)
[14:24] <miickee> Na, it isn't normally slow mate.
[14:24] <adam7> bobbob1016: modules, and they should be automatically loaded, yes?
[14:24] <userlol> darren_ i doubt it mate, not unless your hardware is really odd and then in that case it shouldnt still freeze up
[14:24] <adam7> userlol: modules, and it should load them automatically
[14:24] <userlol> adam7 ah ok, i see
[14:25] <darren_> k
[14:25] <bazhang> Radit, vista installed first or second
[14:25] <userlol> adam7 isnt module just a buzz word for driver?
[14:25] <miickee> Look, I know there are some parameters in sdparm to change my read speed, and I read the man page and I can't find out why.
[14:25] <darren_> what would cause it to freeze up durring 3d use
[14:25] <TimothyP> Hi, I have a script (for the firewall) which needs to be started AFTER MySQL server! if I add the script with pre-up to /etc/network/interfaces OR when I define and upstart job with runlevel 2  the script is executed BEFORE MySQL and does not work, how can I fix this?
[14:25] <adam7> bridean: yeah, the monospace bold, I think -- also, try switching off the subpixel smoothing to monochrome and see if that makes the font look better
[14:25] <lucky711x> how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....????
[14:26] <userlol> darren_ maybe running to many programs that require alot of use from your graphics card, thats across the board for any os though really
[14:26] <bobbob1016> adam7, Yes
[14:26] <Radit> bazhang: vista was first installed, then ubuntu, then my friend runed recover vista from the vista dvd; now it only boots to vista..
[14:26] <darren_> how can i check
[14:26] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows radit this may give some info
[14:26] <bridean> Adam7:  I know it's not the monospace bold because I tried changing that once.  The only thing that one controls is the font that is used if I run a terminal.
[14:26] <userlol> darren_ duno mate, maybe try run heaps of videos or games at the same time?
[14:27] <darren_> k
[14:27] <darren_> k
[14:27] <bridean> Radit:  Sounds like all you need to do is restore the MBR so that it runs Grub.  This is a common problem when installing Windows after you have linux installed.
[14:27] <userlol> darren_ i wouldnt advise it really, but if you wana see how far you can push your computer, then worse comes to worse you'll just need to reboot
[14:27] <drash> lucky711x --> http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/howto-set-up-hardy-for-speed/ for starters maybe ?
[14:27] <darren_> ok
[14:27] <Radit> bridean: can you please tell me how to do that?
[14:27] <adam7> bridean: did you try changing the font rendering?
[14:28] <adam7> !grub | Radit
[14:28] <lucky711x> drash, been there done that
[14:28] <darren_> has their been any problems with ubuntu 7.10 and intel core 2 duo
[14:28] <bridean> Radit:  Run Ubuntu as a live CD, go into repair mode then run grub-install as root is how I normally do it.
[14:28] <Philh> darren_, what trouble are you having?
[14:29] <drash> too bad lucky711x, worked for me, gdluck
[14:29] <bazhang> darren_, check launchpad; no probs here though (same setup)
[14:29] <userlol> darren_ not that i know of, i have a intel core 2 duo and it runs fine for me
[14:29] <TimothyP> does ubuntu know antyhing above runlevel 2 for upstart?
[14:29] <bridean> Adam7:  I am using "best contrast" instead of subpixel smoothing
[14:29] <darren_> after about 10 min of game play my pc freezes up and i can't do anything
[14:29] <Radit> bridean, bazhang, adam, thanks..
[14:29] <bazhang> ;]
[14:29] <userlol> darren_ what game you trying to play?
[14:29] <adam7> bridean: does monochrome make them look any better?
[14:29] <darren_> amaricas army
[14:30] <userlol> darren_ ah ok, is your graphics card up to the task?
[14:30] <bazhang> darren_, the native linux one or on wine
[14:30] <bridean> Adam7:  Monocrome doesn't do anything other than change the font used if I run a terminal
[14:30] <Philh> darren_, how hot is the cpu running?
[14:30] <darren_> native
[14:30] <darren_> and the cpu is only running 40 degrees c
[14:30] <adam7> bridean: did you change the monochrome font or the monochrome rendering option on the bottom of the panel?
[14:31] <adam7> bridean:  (dialog, not panel)
[14:31] <adam7> (sorry)
[14:31] <userlol> darren_ what kinda graphics card you got? and do you run compiz fusion or anything like that when your trying to play the game?
[14:32] <AngryElf> so, is this gutsy -> hardy going to blow up my nvidia install since I did it with the nvidia installer?
[14:32] <AngryElf> *upgrade*
[14:32] <darren_> fxf geforce 7300 gs no compez running or any 3d destop items
[14:32] <Radit> Hi, i've read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows to recover from installing windows, but is there an easier way?
[14:32] <darren_> xfx*
[14:32] <TimothyP> !upstart
[14:32] <userlol> darren_ in the directory /var/crash are there any apport reports?
[14:33] <bridean> Radit:  Did you try reinstalling grub in the MBR?
[14:33] <erUSUL> Radit: supergrub disk is said to be efective and easy
[14:33] <bridean> Radit:  I'm serious, that might really be your only problem.  It only takes a few minutes to do.
[14:33] <Radit> bridean: how do you do that?
[14:34] <drash> AngryElf, let's hope not, backing-up xorg.conf and using envyNG after the upgrade worked flawless for me
[14:34] <darren_> what folder do i look under
[14:34] <adam7> once you've messed with Envy or the driver installers themselves, you're commited :)
[14:35] <bridean> Radit:  Easier than that web site is to just simply run the command "grub-install" instead of "grub".  Without the quotes of course.
[14:35] <AngryElf> envyng?
[14:35] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk
[14:35] <kakoonia> Hello.
[14:35] <adam7> Hello!
[14:35] <kakoonia> :)
[14:35] <userlol> look click on places > Computer > Filesystem, you should see a few directorys, now open up the "var" folder, then the "crash" folder
[14:36] <darren_> what folder is the log it is just saying some of the package versons are obsolite
[14:37] <Radit> bridean: grub-install?
[14:37] <niko_> anyone trying ff 3 beta 5? if not try it! its amazing, at least for me it is 2 times faster! no joke
[14:37] <bridean> Radit:  Just get to a command line and type in sudo grub-install
[14:37] <userlol> it will have an icon that looks like a explosion sort of, when you double click on it, it should open up "apport" which traces bugs and stuff, first just see if theres anything in that directory first
[14:37] <CLEARviewF> hi, do anybody know why can i not see my Genre icon on mi Collection in Amarok over Ubuntu Gnome? i installed kdebase-data but, after that i just can see Artist and Album icon but still not the Genre icon.
[14:37] <darren_> libss10.9.8, libcupsys2
[14:37] <crash91> I have a 17" LCD at home, when i try to connect it to my laptop, it just becomes a duplicate of the one on the laptop. How can i use it as an extension to the screen? I.e. when i move my mouse left it goes to the other screen?
[14:37] <Radit> so i boot the ubuntu cd then?
[14:37] <adam7> niko_: all of using Hardy are :)
[14:37] <bridean> Adam7:  Sorry, was distracted there.  Is this where I want to be?   [URL=http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1zw4.png][IMG]http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/8741/screenshot1zw4.th.png[/IMG][/URL]
[14:37] <bazhang> niko_, everyone with hardy has it :)
[14:38] <niko_> lol really? i didnt know.. i dont upgrade yet, i dont want to do it yet
[14:38] <babolat> how do i tell totem to load an SRT file when I play my movie?
[14:38]  * PCDJ samba only crashes no matter how many times reinstalled
[14:38] <Radit> bridean: so, i boot the ubuntu cd, then?
[14:38] <bridean> Radit:  Yes, you will have to boot Ubuntu from the CD
[14:38] <adam7> bridean: sorry, which one?
[14:39] <niko_> anyway.. FF rocks my world again! lol
[14:39] <bridean> Radit:  Don't install, just get it to run a terminal
[14:39] <PCDJ> anyone know how to fix samba so it does not crash?
[14:39] <drash> babolat, it's in the "prefences", beware of naming conventions though...
[14:39] <CLEARviewF> hi, do anybody know why can i not see my Genre icon on mi Collection in Amarok over Ubuntu Gnome? i installed kdebase-data but, after that i just can see Artist and Album icon but still not the Genre icon.
[14:39] <Rippofunk> How do you get mod_php4 installed on Hardy Heron? Please I dont need to here the 4 vs 5 debate or lecture!
[14:39] <bridean> Adam7:  Over to the right side of the screen
[14:39] <babolat> drash: i have it at opening the subs automatically. how do you mean naming conventions?
[14:40] <Radit> bridean: use ubuntu live, goto terminal, then type sudo grub-install; is that correct?
[14:40] <CLEARviewF> ~karma amarok
[14:40] <darren_> be back
[14:40] <drash> SRT file has to have identical filename for it to work babolat
[14:40] <noob-africa_> Dr_willis: i am back... compiz is stopped... i have another problem
[14:40] <PCDJ> i just went to 100% ubuntu no more ntfs partition
[14:40] <drash> besides the extension itself that is
[14:40] <adam7> bridean: yeah, try the option above "Best contrast"
[14:40] <christoz> what is an obselete software?
[14:41] <bridean> Radix:  Pretty much.  You might have to try something like sudo grub-install /dev/hda or something like that.  But that's the basic idea
[14:41] <babolat> movie.avi = movie.srt right drash ? well i did that. still nothing
[14:41] <PCDJ> christoz, one no longer made
[14:41] <CLEARviewF> hi, do anybody know why can i not see my Genre icon on mi Collection in Amarok over Ubuntu Gnome? i installed kdebase-data but, after that i just can see Artist and Album icon but still not the Genre icon.
[14:41] <kthakore> hi ppl
[14:41] <drash> ok babolat .. did you check the encoding of the SRT file ?
[14:41] <stbain> PCDJ: did you do that manually, or did you use LVPM?
[14:42] <babolat> drash: how do i do that?
[14:42] <PCDJ> with add/remove
[14:42] <PCDJ> stbain, with add/remove
[14:42] <Radit> bridean: ok, thanks :-)
[14:42] <drash> open it in one of the many subtitle editors babolat
[14:43] <stbain> PCDJ: Should have asked first... "were you using Wubi?"
[14:43] <PCDJ> stbain, wubi?
[14:43] <stbain> !wubi | PCDJ
[14:43] <bridean> Adam7:  If I switch to monocrome that fixes the color problem.  But now the font is kind of "blurry" (don't know how else to describe it).  It's black instead of that annoying grey or whatever though.
[14:43] <babolat> it looks fine drash. wanna see a pastebin of it?
[14:43] <KindOne> I have recently gotten a old server with two Pentium 2 (233mhz) cpu's, it has Four 8 gig SCSI hard drive's... Should I get a 32bit or 64 bit Ubuntu server for it ?? \
