[03:10] <sgmadison> askreet: an optiplex 745, intel 975G chipset/onboard video if i'm not mistaken, I've nveer had an issue with it under windows or any other linux distro before
[03:10] <askreet> sgmadison,  I *think* whatever boot options you use on the cd are propogated to the installation.  I remember having to use a certain flag for a laptop and the issue never occured in the installed copy.
[03:10] <bcl1713> grndslm: hey.. just wanted to let you know I've been playing with a program called TestDisk which seems to have located a backup superblock for the ext3 filesystem that I SHOULD be able to use to recover the partition table!!!
what are you trying to burn exactly
[03:11] <askreet> sgmadison, Pretty recent chipset, this is Hardy?
[03:11] <sgmadison> askreet: correct
[03:11] <glick> m_newton, some .avi and .mpg files that i want to be able to open on windows
[03:11] <m_newton> Question to all:Just wondering, is it possible to install cain + able on hardy???
[03:11] <sgmadison> askreet: 8.04, downloaded and burned yesterday
[03:11] <askreet> sgmadison,  Wierd.  I've never used it on that chipset, I wonder if it's a chipset-specific bug.
[03:11] <sgmadison> askreet: well, the last time I burned it was yesterday, I thought maybe something was wrong with the CD
[03:11] <sgmadison> askreet: I've googled and found other people reporting the issue as far back as the GX260 on gutsy gibbon, but it looks like anytime someone fixes it they never say how...
 gimi a sec
[03:12] <askreet> sgmadison, Anyway, whatever flag you booted with could be appended to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to produce the same result, theoretically.  I think the installation LiveCD is the same kernel.
[03:12] <pipegeek> Howdy
[03:12] <pipegeek> So
[03:12] <dimas869> troxor you still there?
[03:12] <askreet> pipegeek, Hi there.
[03:12] <vadi2> Does anyone know the name of the app that opens when you press alt+f2?
[03:12] <sgmadison> askreet: I'm going to try enabling the safe video mode and installing, I'll report back about how ti goes =P
[03:12] <pipegeek> askreet: hi :)
[03:13] <troxor> dimas869: yep
[03:13] <pipegeek> Just booted a system for the first time in a few months, and decided to upgrade gutsy -> hardy.  Resolved all outstanding package updates, rebooted (new kernel), then waited for the "you've got updates!" icon to appear in my system tray
[03:13] <Soulwarp> im using xchat. does anyone use other irc clients?
[03:13] <frsandstone77> chatzilla
[03:13] <pipegeek> only, it didn't.  So, how do I kick off the upgrade, if ubuntu doesn't think there are any updates waiting for me?
[03:13] <[RICE]> Weechat
[03:13] <askreet> sgmadison, For the record, I think safe video mode uses the Xorg "vesa" driver instead of autodetecting nvidia, nv, radeon, intel, etc.  I'm guessing the chipset would autodetect intel and try that.
[03:13] <dimas869> troxor could you explain me what is it i need to do?
[03:14] <SirBob1701> can anyone recommend a really customizable terminal that supports transparency and possible no file menu?
[03:14] <Soulwarp> frsandstone77, [RICE] thx
[03:14] <askreet> pipegeek, gnome-terminal supports all that.
[03:14] <vadi2> SirBob1701: gnome-terminal supports transparency
[03:14] <novato_br> http://www.spreadfirefox.com/eng/worldrecord/
[03:14] <askreet> vadi2 & SirBob1701, and no file menu.
[03:14] <frsandstone77> soulwarp: no problem
[03:14] <troxor> dimas869: `sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status{,-broken}; sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status{-old,}`
[03:14] <pipegeek> askreet: heh, I think you meant to direct that to SirBob1701
[03:14] <[RICE]> @SirBob1701, xfce4-terminal is pretty good (and doesn't actually need xfce4 to work)
[03:14] <askreet> pipegeek,  Haha, sure did.
[03:14] <glick> still ther m_newton ?
[03:15] <sgmadison> askreet: honestly, this is for a little 'rack' of 12 optiplex's, I wanted to try something besides debian, I like having a gui environment instead of just staring at terminals when i play with them, but once they're set up I really just remote desktop in with vnc
[03:15] <pipegeek> sorry, I type slower than I think
yup trying to find the app in the menu
[03:15] <pipegeek> But how do I explicitly start the ubuntu upgrade tool?
[03:15] <askreet> sgmadison,  Then vesa is fine ;).  I can't say I agree with you though, I usually roll out ubuntu-server on .. uh.. servers :)
[03:15] <danbhfive> pipegeek: update-manager -d
[03:15] <dolphin_noel> someone knows how can i read .ape sound files in ubuntu?1
[03:15] <dimas869> troxor i am going to copy and paste that on the terminal is that ok?
[03:15] <troxor> dimas869: it should be ok, yes
[03:15] <troxor> dimas869: nobody's yelled at me yet ;)
[03:15] <pipegeek> danbhfive: my thanks
[03:16] <jedimind> troxor: sweet it sees the card now but the connection is wonky, it has 100% signal then drops to 0 and it keeps doing that
[03:16] <askreet> dolphin_noel,  one second, I think I've seen this somewhere.
[03:16] <dimas869> troxor  lol
try this, insert the disk
[03:16] <pipegeek> haha, there it is in the system menu
[03:16] <|thunder> hardy sucks,, it runs like crap
[03:16] <sgmadison> askreet: I'm just not totally comfortable with my terminal skills yet, I use the terminal alot, but for some things I'm just not "there" yet
[03:16] <pipegeek> I'm a doof
[03:16] <dolphin_noel> askreet :)
[03:16] <SirBob1701> [RICE]: thanks
[03:16] <pipegeek> |thunder: in what sense?
[03:16] <troxor> jedimind: hmm.. anything in dmesg/logs?
[03:16] <amrik> I have this apache2 process that don't die. Any ideas?
[03:16] <[RICE]> @SirBob1701, No problem ^^
and right click on it and tell me what you see in the open with collem
[03:16] <|thunder> pipegeek;   ubuntu has gotten progressivley slower since dapper. especially when trying to play any game.
[03:17] <powertoo108> say you have a 10mb down connection, you can't actually download at that can you?
[03:17] <|thunder> *3d game
[03:17] <pipegeek> odd
[03:17] <troxor> jedimind: tail -f /var/log/daemon.log can be helpful with networkmanager
[03:17] <pipegeek> is it just gnome?
[03:17] <troxor> jedimind: and watch -n .5 "dmesg | tail"
[03:17] <pipegeek> that just hasn't been my experience
[03:17] <glick> m_newton, open with brazero or cd/dvd creator
[03:17] <jedimind> Jun  1 22:15:33 lappy NetworkManager: <info>  Deactivating device wlan1.
[03:17] <jedimind> Jun  1 22:15:37 lappy NetworkManager: <WARN>  request_and_convert_scan_results(): card took too much time scanning.  Get a better one.
try cd/dvd creator
[03:17] <|thunder> Whats the proper way to remove all the nvidia restricted drivers and modules so I can install my own ?
[03:18] <troxor> jedimind: lmao, it told you ;)
[03:18] <amrik> I have this apache2 process that won't die. Any ideas on how to get rid of it, its bound on port 443 and I need that port
[03:18] <Soulwarp> |thunder, try xubuntu if you want speedy system
if not look in synaptics for iso master
if not look in synaptics for dvd or cd
[03:18] <Scunizi> reinstalled grub on fresh install of Hardy, everything stops on boot displaying GRUB Loading stage1.5.. nothing after that.
[03:18] <sgmadison> askreet: are you familiar at all with dhcpd?
sry brb got to go eat
[03:18] <|thunder> Soulwarp; is it obsurd to think that hurdy should be as fast as dapper on the same hardware ?
[03:18] <dimas869> troxor yesssss is dpkg
[03:18] <navetz> hey guys my super key stoped working, I accidently changd my keyboard layout andI don't know how to fix it.
[03:19] <navetz> can someone help me fix it.
[03:19] <jedimind> that rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/installing page only apparently supports 8187 and 8185, though it uses the 8180 driver to do so
[03:19] <jedimind> sigh
[03:19] <Scunizi> askreet: any other suggestions? with grub that is?  after reinstall still stuck in the same place
[03:19] <askreet> dolphin_noel,  I found what I was looking for but it's specific to Dapper.  Have you installed the -bad and -ugly plugin packages for gstreamer?
the command for cd/dvd burner by the way is nautilus-cd-burner
[03:19] <ugur_> hi
[03:19] <Infinito_> just killing it via shell works for you amrik  ?
[03:19] <Soulwarp> |thunder, they have made some changes to the interface
[03:19] <Infinito_> (the process)
bye brb
[03:19] <JFactor> That command and site did not work
[03:19] <askreet> Scunizi,  You booted off the livecd and reinstalled grub, any errors during the process?
[03:19] <JFactor> I am still stuck in 800x600 resolution
[03:19] <Scunizi> askreet: nope.. smooth as silk.
[03:20] <JFactor> ubotu
[03:20] <dolphin_noel> askreet i allready try it nathing :x
[03:20] <m11> cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated.
[03:20] <amrik> Infinito_: no, sudo kill -9 wont kill it, and its STAT isnt zombie
[03:20] <dimas869> troxor thanks
[03:20] <askreet> dolphin_noel,  There are a few people on google that have compiled it themselves, but many have poor results.  I would look to see if there is a beep-media-player or XMMS plugin for it.
[03:20] <troxor> dimas869: no problem
[03:20] <danbhfive> m11: have you tried a clean install?
[03:20] <dimas869> troxor i gt restart
[03:21] <spsneo> how to get screenshots of boot process?
[03:21] <dimas869> later...;-)
[03:21] <askreet> Scunizi, very wierd.  It's stuck at stage1.5 right?
[03:21] <JFactor> !help
[03:21] <ubot3`> I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;)
[03:21] <|thunder> Soulwarp; its still gnome, and im not talking about compiz. that is tuned off and metacity is running
[03:21] <Scunizi> askreet: yep
[03:21] <JFactor> !resolution
[03:21] <ubot3`> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:21] <m11> danbhfive: u recomend to reinstall ?
[03:21] <jedimind> troxor: so im basically SOL ?
[03:21] <Scunizi> askreet: maybe something with splash? acpi? .. never had a machine do this to me.
[03:21] <danbhfive> m11: well, you are saying hardware failure, did you fix that?
[03:21] <spsneo> how to get screenshots of install process
[03:21] <dolphin_noel> askreet hum :x ok i will try this to thank you :)
[03:21] <amenado> JFactor-> i just went through the hazzle, i have to delete my ~/.gconfd  ~/.gconf .nautilus .ICEauthority
[03:22] <troxor> jedimind: sort of, the options are getting more painful
[03:22] <brody> hey does anyone know about a sizing problem running ubuntu on a ps3?  I can't complete the install because it won't resize
[03:22] <m11> danbhfive: hardware error fixed, dead cooler on chipset
[03:22] <Soulwarp> |thunder, i have also noticed a strange slow down coming from feisty, im not sure why
[03:22] <Infinito_> I have to step out for a while
[03:22] <Infinito_> afk
[03:22] <Soulwarp> |thunder, im using hardy now
[03:22] <spsneo> how to get screenshots of install process
[03:22] <brody> resize the window I mean
[03:22] <dimas869> troxor one more question...it wont hurt if i just keep the old status file?
[03:23] <askreet> Scunizi,  I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.    And I've been here since warty!
[03:23] <pipegeek> upgrade tool just crashed
[03:23] <troxor> dimas869: nah, it'll probably get overwritten later
[03:23] <Scunizi> askreet: since it isn't mine.. no I just threw it 1/2 mile back to the owner :)
[03:23] <Soulwarp> spsneo, only way i figured out how to take a screen shot of an install process is virtualization such as Virtualbox
[03:23] <dimas869> troxor ok
[03:23] <pipegeek> OK, so that wasn't a very helpful thing for me to say ;)
[03:23] <indio> Why does xterm doesn't read .profile ?
[03:23] <askreet> pipegeek,  Did you fully upgrade the OS on the current revision first?
[03:24] <pipegeek> yes.
[03:24] <askreet> pipegeek, also, remind me, gutsy -> hardy?
[03:24] <pipegeek> yeah
[03:24] <m11> danbhfive: it just cant boot into system, rest is working ok
[03:24] <pipegeek> upgrade window stopped responding, doesn't redraw itself, isn't taking any cpu
[03:24] <deviantintegral> anyone here using an nforce4 motherboard and finding the sound to be really quiet in 8.04? I've got the sound maxed in alsamixer, in mythtv, and am piping video through an audio normalizer, but it is still about half of the volume of my nforce3 based system
[03:25] <danbhfive> m11: but did you follow my logic?
[03:25] <indio> Does xterm have to read ~/profile ?
[03:25] <indio> ~/.profile
[03:25] <mooGirl> indio, NFC, man
[03:26] <m11> danbhfive: some data got corupted
[03:26] <askreet> pipegeek, Did you run it from a console?  Any output?
[03:26] <danbhfive> m11: hopefully, thats the case, and a clean install should fix that
[03:26] <sgmadison-ub> woohoo
[03:26] <askreet> sgmadison,  Are you on the installed system?
[03:26] <pipegeek> askreet: I'm a dipsh*t.  backgrounded it and closed the terminal
[03:26] <danbhfive> m11: do you have a separate /home partition?
[03:26] <noxix> m11,  that works thank you
[03:26] <sgmadison-ub> indeed
[03:26] <m11> np noxix
[03:26] <noxix> whats a good winamp like mp3 player for ubuntu?
[03:26] <askreet> pipegeek, Haha, kill it and run again, check for errors :P
[03:27] <m11> danbhfive: OS works
[03:27] <askreet> sgmadison-ub, Nice.
[03:27] <m11> danbhfive: it is just not loading
[03:27] <sgmadison-ub> askreet: that was an easy fix, I feel kind of silly
[03:27] <sgmadison-ub> :P)
[03:27] <pipegeek> :-\  Last time I did that (different box) it decided that it was already upgraded, and refused to run.  Took me two hours of fiddling to make the thing go, and then it delivered me a broken install
[03:27] <pipegeek> >.<
[03:27] <brody> noxix- banshee
[03:27] <pipegeek> wellp, nothing for it
[03:27] <m11> danbhfive: EXT3-fs error and groupd size description
[03:27] <askreet> sgmadison-ub, That's a nice thing about this community, even if it's simple, someone will usually tell it to you anyway and save you the minutes or hours, or weeks it might take to fix :)
[03:28] <SirBob1701> so i have openbox installed and I'm using feh to change the backround but after i exit and launch back in then the background gets wanked over by the ubuntu-gnome desktop wallpaper
[03:28] <troxor> jedimind: did you try booting into an earlier kernel?
[03:28] <SirBob1701> how can i stop this
[03:28] <askreet> pipegeek,  I've only ever done one Ubuntu upgrade gutsy to hardy beta and I had 0 issues.  I know this doesn't help, though :P
[03:28] <GabrielxD> Alguem do Brasil ?
[03:28] <Starnestommy> !br
[03:28] <ubot3`> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[03:29] <pawonfire> how do I have a different keyboard layout for a second user on 8.04, that is saved between sessions
[03:29] <jedimind> troxor: the site says that the mods have been patched for 2.6.24-17-generic which is what im running
[03:29] <noxix> brody: ok ill try that out.
[03:29] <pipegeek> askreet: It worries me.  It seems like this is the one thing that really really needs to work, or new folks'll be scared off
[03:29] <Omlette> !es
[03:29] <ubot3`> Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[03:29] <brody> noxix - or you could try amarok, rythmbox, or any others
[03:29] <askreet> pipegeek,  The thing that would be nice is for us to figure out why it worked for one person and not another, it seems rather trivial.  Anything special in your Ubuntu configuration?
[03:29] <pipegeek> The answer would be for me to put my money where my mouth is, and contribute :)
[03:29] <brody> banshee being my favorite
[03:29] <askreet> pipegeek,  Right, haha.
[03:30] <m11> cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated.
[03:30] <danbhfive> m11: so I guess its booting, and you get that error?  I dunno mate, sorry.  Maybe you need to run fschk.  There is a way to get it to run on boot, but I cant find that atm
[03:30] <pipegeek> Not especially.  A few packages from unofficial repos, which I removed out of prudence before the upgrade
[03:30] <Kronic_Det1> Can I safely change from IDE emulation mode to AHCI (in the BIOS settings) once I have Ubuntu installed or will all my drives be remapped so things like LVM and soft raid would break?
[03:30] <rathel> I'm having sound issues, only 1 thing can have sound at a time... how do I fix this?
[03:30] <m11> danbhfive: yes , i think fschk would solve problem but i dont know how to stsart it after in livecd
[03:30] <askreet> pipegeek,  I was just thinking of asking you if you had any unofficial repos out there.
[03:30] <navetz> hey guys, can somebody help me fix my windows key?
[03:31] <Kronic_Det1> rathel: are you using the default sound setup?
[03:31] <askreet> navetz,  I'll leave that one alone.  :P  What's wrong with it?
[03:31] <pipegeek> askreet: not no more
[03:31] <new2linux> hi all, my thin-client can't connect to host. this is the paste bin of the syslog: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2927f2a0
[03:31] <rathel> Kronic_Det1, Yes. Default on Hardy.
[03:31] <askreet> pipegeek,  Maybe it's trying to find those packages, and since the repos are no longer it's more confused than it was.  Do you still have them handy?
[03:31] <pipegeek> well, but the packages are purged
[03:31] <askreet> pipegeek, Oh.
[03:31] <danbhfive> !fsck | m11
[03:31] <ubot3`> m11: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[03:31] <navetz> askreet: it stoped working, i accidently changed some keyboard configurations, and I don't know how to fix it.
[03:31] <pipegeek> askreet: and two of the repos 404'ed
[03:32] <Kronic_Det1> that should be using pulse for all the sound so there shouldn't be any /dev contention.  What sound card is in your box?
[03:32] <askreet> pipegeek, thats why I hate unofficial repos :/
[03:32] <troxor> jedimind: try this, `find /lib/modules/ | grep rtl`
[03:32] <pipegeek> since I last used them.  Just replaced a broken mobo after four months of not using this machine
[03:32] <askreet> pipegeek, I, of course, still use them.
[03:32] <pipegeek> hehe
[03:32] <amrik> i cannot kill the apache2 process, can someone help me?
[03:32] <askreet> gotta have my avant-window-navigator with plugins.
[03:32] <nanoprobe> which program should i use for DVD .iso image burning?
[03:32] <pipegeek> It's just a shame that apt-get dist-upgrade is out.  I've only ever flubbed one debian upgrade, and I've been *there* since woody
[03:33] <new2linux> anyone can help me solving the ltsp or dhcp please
[03:33] <askreet> amrik,  ps aux|grep apache2 -- what does it show for a status (should be 1 char, like S, S+, D, Z)
[03:33] <m11> danbhfive: great :) now how i do that from busybox as livecd dont do nothing with that command =
[03:33] <amrik> askreet: its not zombie, just S
 u there
[03:33] <pipegeek> running in a terminal nao
[03:33] <jedimind> troxor: among others, the ones relevant to my kernel include: /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.ko
[03:33] <jedimind> /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187.ko
 prob solved?
[03:33] <askreet> amrik,  And kill -9 <pid> does nothing?
[03:33] <danbhfive> m11: I dunno anything about busybox
[03:33] <troxor> jedimind: but your card is an 8180, isn't it?
[03:33] <amrik> askreet: www-data  7373  0.0  2.1  87968 16752 ?        S    May28   0:09 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL
[03:33] <jedimind> no mention of 8180 for any kernel version
[03:33] <amrik> askreet: nope
[03:33] <jedimind> yes
[03:33] <jedimind> 8180L
[03:33] <rathel> Kronic_Det1, It's an intel.
[03:34] <Cromag> askreet: is it because it is broke ? - tried to stop it ?
[03:34] <jedimind> though this mod is supposed to work for 818x
[03:34] <troxor> jedimind: yeah, that's another module that was mentioned in that bug report earlier
[03:34] <m11> danbhfive: how about run sudo shutdown -F -r now from livecd ?
[03:34] <m_newton> Question to all:Just wondering, is it possible to install cain + able on hardy???
[03:34] <zero-velocity> hey
[03:34] <pipegeek> ugh, it died without removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:34] <nano_> Where can i setup X-environment variables in gnome?
[03:34] <troxor> jedimind: what does dmesg say when you load it?
[03:34] <askreet> Cromag,  I was responding to someone else, my apaches stop when I tell them to :P
[03:34] <Cromag> askreet: doh my bad... :D
[03:34] <zero-velocity> can any one help me with the "initramfs" while installing ubuntu?
[03:34] <askreet> amrik,  not that it should matter, but have you tried a killall `apache2`
[03:34] <jedimind> im gonna have to paste you it in query
[03:35] <jedimind> sec
[03:35] <askreet> erm
[03:35] <askreet> take those backticks out..
[03:35] <amrik> askreet: yes, also kill -kill etc.etc.
[03:35] <danbhfive> m11: so your system won't boot?  I think you should run fsck from the livecd
[03:35] <Starnestommy> amrik: what about sudo killall apache2?
[03:35] <askreet> amrik,  That is so bizarre... >.<
[03:35] <Cromag> amrik: is it because it is broke ? - tried to stop it ?
[03:35] <m11> danbhfive: how would i go with that ?
[03:35] <[RICE]> Does anybody know the way to make Tint Task Manager stay on top of all other windows (like most other panels do)
[03:35] <askreet> amrik,  Yes, i'm assuming you're doing this as root...
[03:35] <nano_> Where can i setup X-environment variables in gnome?
[03:35] <amrik> tried apache2 stop, then apache2 start and apache cant bind to port 443 because one of these ultrazombie processes has it bound
[03:36] <askreet> "ultrazombie", I like that.
[03:36] <Kronic_Det1> rathel: go to System > Preferences > Sound.  Does the Device under Default Mixer Tracks have ALSA or OSS in it's name?
[03:36] <Starnestommy> askreet: people here do things woth sudo most of the time, not directly as root
[03:36] <Starnestommy> *with
[03:36] <jedimind> sorry about the spam
[03:36] <zero-velocity> hello. any one? wanna help me? pls
[03:36] <Cromag> !ask
[03:36] <ubot3`> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[03:36] <Starnestommy> zero-velocity: with what?
[03:36] <danbhfive> m11: I dunno, I would check the man page.  Again, it may be easier to just do a clean install.  Thats what I would do.  Expecially if you have a separate /home
[03:36] <m11> amrik , i think i heard somthing that is know apache bug in 8.04 , check launcpad
[03:36] <askreet> Starnestommy, Right.  That's sorta what I meant.
[03:36] <askreet> :)
[03:36] <{}zombie> can i connect my desktop to the internet, via ethernet cable>laptop>wifi? is this possible?
[03:36] <amrik> m11: except im running dapper 6.06 LTS
[03:36] <troxor> jedimind: no problem, that look sort of promising
[03:36] <rathel> Kronic_Det1, ALSA
[03:37] <amrik> m11: can you give me a bug id?
[03:37] <Starnestommy> zero-velocity: oh, the initramfs thing.  It sounds liek a bad burn or a bad iso image
[03:37] <jedimind> yeah i mean it loads it fine, i can see wifi spots in the network manager through the interface
[03:37] <zero-velocity> with ubuntu installisation.. it keeps stoping on busybox initramfs
[03:37] <m11> danbhfive: reinstall out of question :/
[03:37] <jedimind> but it just keeps dropping from 100% connectivity to 0
[03:37] <m11> amrik: cant remember, just recall i heard it somewhere about apache spawning proceses
[03:37] <harriseldon> {}zombie you can do it with dnsmasq and ipforwarding
[03:38] <navetz> is there a way to reconfigure your keyboard?
[03:38] <askreet> amrik,  What is the apache2's process' PPID?
[03:38] <navetz> my windows key doesn't wokr
[03:38] <zero-velocity> ...
[03:38] <Infinito_> zero-velocity, ubuntu 8.04, livecd ?
[03:38] <{}zombie> thanks, harriseldon does it matter that the laptop is xp, and desktop is ubuntu?
[03:38] <zero-velocity> yup
[03:38] <amrik> askreet: the parent id? how do I find that? there is no ptree for some reason
[03:38] <harriseldon> {}zombie yes that matters. lol. The other way would be better of course
[03:38] <amrik> askreet: perhaps there is another command?
[03:38] <frsandstone77> when booting virtualbox in windows xp I receive the following error:  "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
[03:38] <troxor> jedimind: but, wasn't that the interface you wanted to use for monitor mode?
[03:39] <askreet> akrik, You can use ps, but I dont remember the flags and I'm not on a *nix box right now :/
[03:39] <jedimind> yes
[03:39] <jedimind> which means it wont work as is :)
[03:39] <askreet> akrik that was for amrik
[03:39] <harriseldon> {}zombie I cannot help with internet connection sharing in XP. I do not use Windows.
[03:39] <askreet> This should work:
[03:39] <iresprite> hey, all. Having a problem getting NX Server running on my machine (wel, FreeNX/No Machine)
[03:39] <askreet> What command can you use to see a processes parent pid?
[03:39] <{}zombie> ok, thanks though
[03:39] <iresprite> The packages I got don't seem to include libX11-nx.so.6.
[03:39] <iresprite> And that's killing it.
[03:39] <iresprite> Any ideas?
[03:39] <troxor> jedimind: you shouldn't need network manager to associate with anything for networkmanager
[03:39] <troxor> jedimind: oof, that made no sense :(
[03:40] <harpreet> how do i manually open ports to make my emails work?
[03:40] <jedimind> im just saying network manager picks it up so its loaded etc
[03:40] <harriseldon> {}zombie here is good guide if it were the other way around. It is gentoo-specific, but I have used it on a debian based system before. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
[03:40] <jedimind> its just unstable
[03:40] <troxor> jedimind: yep, that's good, but it doesn't matter that it won't connect to anything for monitor mode
[03:40] <askreet> harpreet,  as far as I know, ubuntu doesn't ship with a software firewall enabled.
[03:40] <jedimind> oh
[03:40] <harpreet> askreet, by default all ports are closed
[03:40] <amrik> askreet: ok i did ps -ef
[03:40] <{}zombie> thanks i'll check it out, i may just have to put a live cd in my lappy
[03:40] <amrik> askreet: looks like init (pid 1) has adopted them
[03:41] <iresprite> Anyone here have NX Server experience?
[03:41] <askreet> amrik,  as it should be.
[03:41] <harpreet> amrik sinha,..ki haal aa
[03:41] <pipegeek> Arrgh
[03:41] <askreet> amrik,  that's very strange :/
[03:41] <pipegeek> gets to "preparing upgrade", progress bar fills, then it stops responding.  No cpu activity
[03:41] <pipegeek> no output to stdout, since the upgrade program is separate from update-manager
[03:42] <VladimirAntipov> the sound doesn't seem to be working, just installed today.  anybody have any ideas?
[03:42] <pipegeek> Next stop, strace
[03:42] <harpreet> how do i manually open ports to make my emails work?
[03:42] <askreet> pipegeek,  My guess is there has to be an apt equivelent command or series of commands to do the upgrade.
[03:42] <amrik> askreet: maybe its an orphan?
[03:42] <askreet> amrik,  I can't say I'm an expert but S means sleep and 1 is init, so it seems "happy"
[03:42] <pipegeek> askreet: there isn't :-\  At least, not that's supported.  You're supposed to use their tool.
[03:42] <jedimind> sweet, airsnort is working :)
[03:42] <frsandstone77> when booting virtualbox in windows xp I receive the following error: "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
[03:43] <askreet> pipegeek,  Is the tool some kind of awesome easily-readible bash/python script?
[03:43] <pipegeek> It's python.  It gets automatically downloaded into /tmp by update-manager---I've looked at it before
[03:43] <pipegeek> lemme take a look
[03:43] <zero-velocity> ok no one to help?
[03:43] <brody> frsnadstone77-you need to properly select the version of xp form your harddisk
[03:43] <amrik> askreet: is there any way for init to IGNORE one of its adopted children?
[03:43] <m11> can i use live cd check and repair option to fix my boot process ?
[03:44] <troxor> jedimind: there ya have it- who needs fully functional hardware ;)
[03:44] <Starnestommy> zero-velocity: have you tried the alternate CD?
[03:44] <jedimind> haha
[03:44] <frsandstone77> brody, what do you mean by proper?
[03:44] <zero-velocity> yes. it would say the same thing
[03:44] <jedimind> now if only i knew how this thing worked and how / when it figures out a wep key
[03:44] <brody> you can click general settings and then find the propper bootable system
[03:44] <DJ_HaMsTa> what is the default username and pass for samba after installation ? i am able to access the drive from my xp machine but wont take my ubunt server username and pass
[03:45] <Starnestommy> zero-velocity: at the boot prompt, press F6 and then add "noacpi noapic nolapic" to the line
[03:45] <pipegeek> mutex deadlock
[03:45] <pipegeek> that shouldn't happen
[03:45] <askreet> DJ_HaMsTa,  You need to add smb users, it's wierd.  I think it's smbpasswd, try doing smbpasswd --help
[03:45] <brody> go to general settings and then go to cd/dvd rom and select the boot source for xp
[03:45] <frsandstone77> brody, i'm gonna send you a screenshot okay?
[03:45] <brody> k
[03:45] <DJ_HaMsTa> askreet: i can see the users in webmin
[03:45] <Falstius> I'm trying to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein in Wine (0.9.59) and RTCW says I don't have opengl installed (I'm using the nvidia drivers, glxgears works).  There is a lot of old and conflicting information about opengl and wine online.  Does anyone know if I need a special package installed or somesuch?
[03:45] <askreet> DJ_HaMsTa, Hm, sorry, not familiar with webmin. :(
[03:46] <NTU> If I want to edit my kernel and optimize the kernel for a specific CPU where would the file be to do so?
[03:46] <zero-velocity> "noacpi noapic nolapic" with space?
[03:46] <brody> frsandstone77 where is xp located on your disk
[03:46] <harriseldon> NTU do you mean you would like to recompile your kernel?
[03:46] <askreet> Falstius,  glxgears works with mesa software rendering, though.  What does glxinfo |grep Direct say?
[03:46] <frsandstone77> uhh
[03:46] <frsandstone77> nowhere
[03:46] <frsandstone77> i just installed ubuntu
[03:46] <amenado> whose got a working two video cards (agp and pci) to work on same host?  may I copy your xorg.conf configs? i tried but its only one video and not both at same time
[03:46] <frsandstone77> then installed virtualbox
[03:47] <harpreet> how do i manually open ports to make my emails work?
[03:47] <harpreet> how do i manually open ports to make my emails work?
[03:47] <frsandstone77> do i have to install a partition?
[03:47] <pipegeek> Aha
[03:47] <pipegeek> !
[03:47] <brody> no you need a valid copy of xp
[03:47] <pipegeek> you can specify that it uses a text frontend
[03:47] <jordan> is it possible to send sms messages from ubuntu to cell phones?
[03:47] <pipegeek> and it seems to get somewhere.
[03:47] <askreet> harpreet,  I'm still confused as to what you are trying to do.  Are you trying to *send* email from your computer, or trying to have your computer receive emails as an email server?
[03:47] <frsandstone77> okay...
[03:47] <Starnestommy> harpreet: you need to make sure that your email sender is configred to send to other places
[03:47] <brody> like tinyXP_rev06
[03:47] <frsandstone77> i have one of those, i just didnt know how to activate it w/ this program
[03:47] <pipegeek> alright
[03:47] <askreet> pipegeek,  How do you do that?
[03:47] <pipegeek> now we're cooking with gas
[03:47] <Falstius> askreet: "direct rendering: Yes" ... the game itself is complaining about opengl missing
[03:47] <frsandstone77> k
[03:47] <frsandstone77> brb
[03:48] <amenado> jordan-> you can try  chikka   visit chikka.com  you may have to use wine with if the linux client dont work well
[03:48] <pipegeek> askreet: find the directory where it unpacked the upgrade tool, and run ./hardy --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText
[03:48] <harpreet> askreet, starnestommy i am trying to send emails through evolution
[03:48] <pipegeek> it'll be somewhere in /tmp
[03:48] <pipegeek> wow.  ew
[03:48] <pipegeek> :)
[03:48] <nano_> in bashrc file I can use export command, however, is there an equivalent method of defining variables in gnome?
[03:49] <Starnestommy> harpreet: do you have the right outgoing servers set?
[03:49] <harpreet> starnestommy, yes
[03:49] <b4l74z4r> i can't get juk to launch in ubuntu
[03:49] <askreet> harpreet,  In the world of software firewalls (Which I'm 99.9% certain isn't enabled on Hardy by default) output traffic such as email from evolution would *not* be blocked.  Are you sure your evolution settings are correct to be sending mail?  Are you using the SMTP information provided by your ISP/Mail service?
[03:49] <brody> create a virtual system by following the instructions it gives you and then when it says choose the mount point find the copy of xp that you have and tell it to boot from that file
[03:49] <amenado> jordan i just checked their web site, and yes you can send from ubuntu..via a web browser
[03:49] <harpreet> askreet, all settings are same as they are suppose to be in windows too
[03:50] <askreet> harpreet, So, you are able to receive mail, but unable to send?
[03:50] <harpreet> askreet, exactly
[03:51] <jedimind> troxor: thanks so much for all your help and patience man
[03:51] <mr-Kirch> w00t
[03:51] <askreet> harpreet, If you want to rule out a firewall blocking you, you can try to connect to the SMTP server via telnet and send it a HELO.  Go to a console and type telnet <smtp server here> <smtp port here>
[03:52] <askreet> If it connects then you are clear to talk, try typing HELO and pressing enter, I think you should get something back.
[03:52] <Eleaf> HELO
[03:52] <amrik> Eleaf: EHLO
[03:52] <navetz> guys is it possible to dpkg -reconfigre your keyboard somehow?
[03:52] <askreet> :P
[03:52] <askreet> Not here.
[03:52] <androver> navetz: what do you mean?
[03:53] <bcl1713> WOOT just recovered a deleted ext3 filesystem using testdisk to find a backup superblock and fsck to recover from it! XDDDDD
[03:53] <m11> navetz: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , and chose your keyboard option there
[03:53] <troxor> jedimind: no prob
[03:53] <askreet> m11: neat, didn't know you could do that. :)
[03:53] <amrik> bcl1713: *high five*
[03:54] <pipegeek> So, err... why isn't the upgrade tool a debian package?  Why is it downloaded and untarred in /tmp?
[03:54] <m11> askreet: there should be option to chose keyboard
[03:54] <navetz> androver, m11: my windows key is not working, I just want to reconfigure my keyboard.
[03:55] <melch> Hey guys i have two network cards installed in my box I was wondering how i could use the 2nd card to share internet
[03:55] <m11> navetz: try above or : system>preferneces>keyboard
[03:56] <ruiboon> melch: you might want to try firestarter
[03:56] <melch> ruiboon, okay just install firestarter?
[03:56] <harpreet> askreet: result: harpreet@harpreet-laptop:~$ telnet smtp.telus.net 25
[03:56] <harpreet> Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...
[03:56] <harpreet> Connected to smtp.svc.telus.net.

[03:56] <harpreet> 421 Error: timeout exceeded
[03:56] <androver> navetz: there's a program called "xmodmap" that lets you remap keys.  read the man page and google it for some examples.  it's not too hard; I remapped my caps lock key to act like a windows key.
[03:56] <ruiboon> melch: after you install it. open firestarter and there will be a wizard to guide you through
[03:56] <m11> cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated.
[03:56] <askreet> Can you make the caps lock key into an additional modifier?
[03:57] <harriseldon> melch I have used this guide before. It is gentoo specific, but I have used it on Debian systems as well. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
[03:57] <navetz> androver: alright thanks
[03:57] <melch> harriseldon, thanks
[03:57] <harriseldon> melch yw
[03:58] <Julia1> how do i turn up the sound?
[03:58] <codecaine> anybody know a java ide for linux that can do auto files for example if I type System. it will show me a list of parameters like System.out System.in etc
[03:58] <askreet> codecaine,  I would think Eclipse does.
[03:58] <harpreet> askreet, outbox shows message sent but it doesnt reach
[03:58] <askreet> It's pretty much *the* Java IDE for *everything*
[03:58] <Prez00> quick question, I have Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T7500  @ 2.20GHz on my laptop, what firefox optimized whould I use, I want to downgrade to FF 2, instead of FF3B5, shoudl i get pentium 4, pentium M, pentium 4m?
[03:58] <ruiboon> codecaine: netbeans will also do the trick. it depends pretty much on your preference
[03:59] <Julia1> how do i turn up the sound???
[03:59] <askreet> Prez00,  I think any will work, I'm not sure which is more optimized.  Core 2 Duo should support all of those archs
[03:59] <askreet> Prez00,  I also dislike FF3
[03:59] <askreet> :)
[03:59] <emily_> i'm trying to put vmware on ubuntu 7.10 server edition and i'm getting "error while loading share libraries: libX11.so.6 -- does anyone know if vmware server actually requires X?  Is there something I should apt-get?
[03:59] <harpreet> askreet, outbox shows message sent but it doesnt reach
[04:00] <askreet> emily_, VMWare Server Console requires X, I dont think Ubuntu has a way to install VMWare Server without the Console..
[04:00] <Prez00> askreet: I actually have only one big problem with FF3B5, the facebook chat app does not work reliably at all..
[04:00] <amrik> askreet: is there any way to force the unbind of a socket?
[04:00] <askreet> Prez00,  I have an entirely different complaint -- they took out the Forms tab in the Page Info box, was so useful for web development :/
[04:00] <emily_> askreet: augh. So can I just apt-get x or something? I really wasn't looking forward to all that bloat...
[04:01] <melch> ruiboon, no go
[04:01] <Julia1> no one knows how to turn up the sound on xubuntu???
[04:01] <askreet> emily_:  All you're losing is hard disk space if you never actually launch VMWare Server Console.
[04:01] <Gecko> Hmm, I've noticed a strange behavior when pinging from a ubuntu 8.04 box. It takes a lot of time before it starts displaying the RTT's due to reverse DNS lookups performed on every packet. Does anyone know how to disable that?
[04:01] <lainy> Julia1: is there a sound mixer on the top right?
[04:01] <harpreet> what port should outgoing smtp be using ?
[04:01] <ringer> what is the server name for cairo dock
[04:01] <thebishop> server irc.thundercity.net
[04:02] <askreet> emily_:  I would like to think, and you can verify, that the vmware server apps arn't linked to libX11
[04:02] <emily_> askreet: I know -- but I'm using a lot of CPU Cycles on the gui...
[04:02] <Starnestommy> harpreet: 25
[04:02] <ruiboon> melch: no go as in...?
[04:02] <Julia1> lainy: no
[04:02] <askreet> emily_:  You don't need X running, is what I'm saying :)
[04:02] <harpreet> Staarnestommy, smtp server doesnt respond at 25
[04:02] <melch> ruiboon, do i have to have the firewall starting
[04:02] <lainy> Julia1: any "sound" entries in the menu?
[04:02] <askreet> emily_: The server console is for connecting to other VMWare Servers, or locally.. you won't be using it if it's a headless server.
[04:02] <lainy> Julia1: preferences or administration, perhaps?
[04:02] <emily_> askreet: ahh, so install x, but don't start it? do you know how I would install it then?
[04:03] <askreet> emily_: apt-get install xserver-xorg will *work* there may be a way just to get the libs, but I 'm not sure.
[04:03] <emily_> askreet: yeah, I have the console installed on my workstation. was planning on connecting to the server remotely
[04:03] <Starnestommy> ringer: /join #cairo-dock
[04:03] <new2linux> how to install my printing driver...??
[04:03] <ruiboon> melch: are you at the wizard now?
[04:03] <new2linux> i've downloaded it and the package was in rpm
[04:03] <melch> ruiboon yes
[04:03] <new2linux> and i'm  confussed using synaptic
[04:03] <jedimind> with the netowrk manager, how do i connect to a wireless hotspot taht doesnt have a name (but i have its sssid) ?
[04:04] <harriseldon> new2linux there is a package called alien which converts rpm to deb
[04:04] <Starnestommy> new2linux: find a .deb or a .tar.bz2/gz file
[04:04] <ringer> Starnestommy thanks
[04:04] <emily_> askreet: so I just need the libs?
[04:04] <DJ_HaMsTa> any one got Radmin, knoledge on Samba and is willing to connect to my pc ? (to help me with a samba issue)
[04:04] <Starnestommy> new2linux: if at all possible, avoice using rpms unless you must
[04:04] <Starnestommy> *avoid
[04:04] <askreet> emily_:  Sounds like it.  It's looking for libX11.so or some such right?
[04:04] <melch> rui
[04:04] <new2linux> i went to the official brother website, the links say for debian distro, but it gives me rpm
[04:04] <new2linux> ...??
[04:04] <emily_> askreet: libx11.so.6 ...yup
[04:04] <new2linux> i'll try allien
[04:04] <melch> ruiboon, should i take down my eht0
[04:05] <jedimind> bssid that is
[04:05] <harriseldon> new2linux that is alien like the life form
[04:05] <RossK> Hey, anyone know how to host a disk image on an ubuntu server for PXE-booting clients?
[04:05] <melch> i set up the wizard, it won';t ket me start the firewall
[04:05] <Starnestommy> new2linux: you do know that alien sometimes messes things up, right?
[04:05] <ruiboon> melch: yes. you need to start the firewall now
[04:05] <new2linux> i tried add/remove programs and search alien, return to alien 3d game
[04:05] <askreet> emily_:  Theres definately a package for X11 libs, but I'm not on/near a *nix box right now to look for it.  If you do apt-get install xserver-xorg it will show you a list of packages it's going to install.. look for something that sounds right :)
[04:05] <ruiboon> melch: at which part did the wizard prompt you to take down your eth0?
[04:06] <Starnestommy> new2linux: check in synaptic
[04:06] <askreet> Gotta reboot myself, though, going to dual-boot this box.  Best of luck, emily_. :)
[04:06] <emily_> askreet: I think it's working without it
[04:06] <emily_> askreet: just won't let me put in the key
[04:06] <melch> ruiboon, no part it was two windows. I am already done
[04:06] <new2linux> what's the difference between add/remove programs and synaptic..?
[04:06] <melch> ruiboon, it will not let me start the firwall
[04:06] <Starnestommy> new2linux: add/remove is just gnome GUI stuff
[04:06] <nano_> how can i make sure that commands in a bash script get executed in the same forked bash shell......do i use the {} braces...?!?
[04:06] <ruiboon> melch: is there any error message?
[04:06] <Starnestommy> new2linux: synaptic is everything and it has more feeatures
[04:07] <rathel> I'm having sound issues, only 1 thing can have sound at a time... how do I fix this?
[04:07] <melch> ruiboon, device eth1 is not ready
[04:07] <new2linux> starnestommy: both is the same right, only add/remove is for the simply one and synaptic much more for pro or specific?
[04:07] <Starnestommy> new2linux: essentially, yes

[04:08] <harriseldon> nano_ by default commands in a script act in the same shell. What are you trying to do that you need to ensure they are in the same "forked shell"?

[04:09] <DJ_HaMsTa> any one got Radmin, knoledge on Samba and is willing to connect to my pc ? (to help me with a samba issue)
[04:10] <harriseldon> nano_ the braces are used for variables. Can you use pastebin and I can take a quick look at your script?
[04:10] <htmljunkie> emily if I wasn't a newb I'd help you
[04:10] <melch> ruiboon, it says "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1."

[04:10] <htmljunkie> emily__ are you new?
[04:11] <Flannel> emily__: libx11-dev
[04:11] <emily__> htmljunkie: mm..no..i'd say i'm a novice, but not a newb
[04:11] <Flannel> emily__: er, sorry, libx11-6
[04:11] <emily__> Flannel: I just tried libx11-6 -- will that cut it?
[04:11] <emily__> Flannel: yay! I'm not as dumb as I feel!
[04:11] <Flannel> emily__: packages.ubuntu.com (second search field)
[04:12] <htmljunkie> emily what is libx11-6? is that the library for x11?
[04:12] <emily__> Flannel: ahh..got it. I was using google
[04:12] <emily__> htmljunkie: i think so. .at least one of them
[04:12] <harriseldon> nano
[04:12] <nano_> harriseldon: i have a program (xmaple) and in order for me to run this programming correctly i need to set up a certain variable.    I can do this in /etc/bash.bashrc and then lauch this application from within bash with no problems.  However, my problem is that when i try to run this application from the gnome main menu, this variable is not set...thusly may application doesn't work correctly from the gnome main menu...any ideas as to ho
[04:12] <nano_> w i can set gnome environment variables?
[04:12] <htmljunkie> does anyone even run nano?
[04:12] <htmljunkie> lol
[04:12] <ruiboon> melch: could you paste the content of /etc/interfaces into pastebin ?
[04:12] <melch> ruiboon what is a paste bin
[04:13] <harriseldon> nano_ have you exited your gnome session after changing your .bashrc? It only gets run when you start gnome.
[04:13] <nano_> harriseldon: nope
[04:13] <melch> ruiboon, /etc/interfaces doesn't exist
[04:13] <new2linux> $cd ~/Desktop  i use this command, but can't get to desktop. are there any command to go to desktop?
[04:13] <ruiboon> melch: http://paste.ubuntu.com  this help to prevent people from flooding the channel
[04:13] <nano_> harriseldon: how can i setup certain enviromental variables in gnome?
[04:13] <emily__> htmljunkie: so what turned you on to linux?
[04:13] <melch> ruiboon, but again ithe file doesn't exist
[04:13] <harriseldon> nano_ try that first. If that does not work, make sure that you export the variable at the end of your .bashrc. (ie export myvariable).
[04:14] <tj83> <--- has a question... I installed wine and tried to install some windows games... mistake 1.... and then i removed wine and cleaned up all the files i could locate. mistake 2.... and now i have a crap load of menu items under "other" and i cannot remove them.. how do i do this?
[04:14] <harriseldon> nano_ using .bashrc is fine, but it gets run only once when you login.
[04:14] <htmljunkie> emily__: using mac osx introduced me to the terminal and I was curious about it
[04:14] <emily__> augh! now it wants libXtst.so.6!!!
[04:14] <born> oi
[04:14] <ruiboon> melch: ahh.. sorry fault on my part. it should be /etc/network/interfaces
[04:14] <new2linux> on my ls i've got the desktop, how to get to desktop...?
[04:14] <new2linux> cd /desktop
[04:14] <nano_> harriseldon: ill try to restart my gnome after editing /etc/bashrc.bashrc
[04:14] <nano_> ill be right back
[04:14] <glitsj16> emily_: what are you trying to achieve ? sorry but i didn't follow your thread ...
[04:15] <htmljunkie> so i thought well i really don't know any special stuff about computers and I felt newb so I installed ubuntu and got rid of windows
[04:15] <htmljunkie> what about you emily__?
[04:15] <emily__> glitsj16: vmware-server on ubuntu 7.10 server edition
[04:15] <ruiboon> melch: after you have pasted it into pastebin, copy the link here so that i can take a look
[04:15] <tj83> how does one remove menue items in general?
[04:15] <harriseldon> new2linux do not use /desktop, that means change to the root directory first. If you do it without the / and make sure the D is capital, it will work (cd Desktop)
[04:16] <tj83> menu*
[04:16] <harriseldon> new2linux if you want to ensure that you are going to your desktop, you can use cd ~/Desktop. The ~ means your home directory
[04:16] <glitsj16> emily_: ok, and i suppose you are on ubuntu 7.10 now ?
[04:16] <ib042129> Hi. I just installed the latest Ubuntu (8.04) and it did not configure my video card. The card is ATI Rage XL, so it should work with the regular ati driver. I'm just trying to get 1024 resolution, I just can't really work with 800*600.  Can someone help?
[04:16] <htmljunkie> this is for all newbs in here :
[04:16] <melch> ruiboon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16330/
[04:16] <new2linux> harriseldon: i've been confused with the cd command, no wonder it don't work. i don't know that in linux it's case sensitive..!!!
[04:16] <htmljunkie> http://www.geocities.com/sunnylug/lindir.html
[04:16] <htmljunkie> all the newbs read that
[04:16] <noxix> thanks for all the help guys
[04:16] <htmljunkie> www.linuxcommand.org
[04:16] <new2linux> harriseldon: thanks for the info
[04:17] <harriseldon> new2linux yw
[04:17] <new2linux> it's case sensitive
[04:17] <harpreet> how do i install .deb file?
[04:17] <PCcertified> ib042129: try going into system->Administration->Hardware drivers and make sure you are using the ATI propietary drive.  should work
[04:17] <htmljunkie> you right click on it and use the package installer
[04:17] <htmljunkie> on the file that is
[04:18] <tj83> no takes on how to remove menu items from 8.04 ?
[04:18] <htmljunkie> what items?
[04:18] <harriseldon> PCcertified, I think the Rage XL may be too old for the non-free ati driver
[04:18] <ib042129> Nothing in Hardware Drivers
[04:18] <tj83> any item... say anything you wanted under applications
[04:18] <RossK> tj83: Right click the menu
[04:18] <RossK> EditMenus
[04:18] <htmljunkie> I don't think you ever could edit it unless you are some programmer who knows what they're doing to mod it
[04:19] <tj83> RossK... i did... and if i unchek the item.. its still there and its check again
[04:19] <htmljunkie> emily__: what made you use it?
[04:19] <ruiboon> melch: that seems strange. what about the output of ifconfig -v ? (Type ifconfig -v in Terminal and paste the output into pastebin)
[04:19] <SuN13> any could suggest good application to create backup image of unbuntu
[04:19] <ib042129> The free ati driver should work. But it's not set up
[04:19] <Flannel> !backup | SuN13
[04:19] <ubot3`> SuN13: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning

[04:19] <emily__> htmljunkie: hatred of Microsoft.  I hate the idea of not being able to use what I buy.
[04:20] <glitsj16> emily_: sorry if you have stated this before, i guess you found http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html with detailed instructions ?
[04:20] <htmljunkie> emily__: only issue is that linux video and audio apps are not made well yet, but I use my mac for em now

[04:20] <melch> ruiboon, the card was not installed when i install ubuntu
[04:21] <harriseldon> Sun13 sorry wrong link http://goinglinux.com
[04:21] <melch> ruiboon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16331/
[04:21] <emily__> htmljunkie: I know -- I wish there were more commercial native games for linux. Cedega just doesn't cut it. I dont' want to have to hack my way through things
[04:21] <emily__> htmljunkie: when I buy a game i just want to play it
[04:21] <harriseldon> Sun13 those episodes are about backups in Linux (specifically Ubuntu)
[04:21] <htmljunkie> well I had to quit WoW
[04:21] <htmljunkie> I was on there too much
[04:21] <htmljunkie> I'd rather waste 8 hours learning linux stuff than be on WoW anymore
[04:22] <mohamed_> i installed xubuntu on via epia C3 how can i install the correct drivers ?
[04:22] <mohamed_> correct VGA drivers
[04:22] <htmljunkie> GIMP is supposed to be different but I honestly feel they're making a huge mistake by not making it like PS
[04:22] <SuN13> harriseldon: thanks plus thanks for the router one too ;)
[04:22] <tj83> anyone know how to manually edit the menu items?
[04:23] <bullgard4> What is the use of the /usr/share/menu directory?
[04:23] <[RICE]> @tj83, Yes, what bullgard4 said.
[04:23] <ruiboon> melch: i see. could you go to System->Administration->Network-> Unlock. Then check the checkbox for eth1
[04:23] <akcin> hey, anyone here good at configuring 2 monitors with a Nvidia driver?
[04:24] <melch> ruiboon, i am not using gnome
[04:24] <legend2440> tj83: right click Applications on top panel>edit menus

[04:24] <tj83> Legend2440 that doesnt work
[04:25] <htmljunkie> emily__: are you from linuxchix?
[04:25] <djzn> why re-saving a WAV in Audacity does not give me the same bit-identical WAV file as the original ?
[04:25] <mohamed_> tj83-> point to  the top menu
[04:25] <htmljunkie> cause its a flawed app
[04:25] <htmljunkie> and should be like sonar!
[04:25] <tj83> mohamed.... it doesnt work
[04:25] <legend2440> tj83: system>prefs>main menu
[04:25] <tj83> i have to do this manually
[04:25] <[RICE]> @tj83, /usr/share/menu/<whatever>menu.xml
[04:25]  * new2linux restarting
[04:26] <jumpinjac> I heard about people running Clam as an antivirus software in Ubuntu 8.04. Is this antivirus software any good or can anyone recommend something else?
[04:26] <tj83> [rice] looking now
[04:26] <legend2440> tj83:  or type    alacarte    in terminal

[04:27] <jumpinjac> Thanks htmljunkie for your answer.
[04:27] <ruiboon> melch: oo... then could you look for something that looks like a network icon in the notification area (where the clock is at)
[04:27] <darkcrab> is there a way to auto-login without the gnome-keyring asking me for my password?

[04:28] <glitsj16> jumpinjac: f-prot has the added ability to clean infected files, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus for more info
[04:28] <janice8954> Guys I have a huge problem. I tried to install a GDM theme on Hardy and now when I boot the loggin screen doesn't load. It just loads an orange screen and the busy pointer.
[04:28] <snake> harriseldon: i already installed that
[04:28] <janice8954> anyone have any ideas?
[04:28] <melch> ruiboon, got it started what do u want
[04:29] <legend2440> tj83: maybe a permissions problem?  gksu alacarte work?
[04:29] <Amaranth> STOP
[04:29] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Can you still type in your username and password?
[04:29] <tj83> nope sudo either
[04:29] <glitsj16> janice8954: could it be that the new theme has a (way) bigger wallpaper than your screen can handle ? if so, try to resize one ..
[04:29] <harriseldon> snake, when you run about:plugins in the browser, does it show that the java is installed?
[04:29] <janice8954> no, it's not loading anything.
[04:29] <ruiboon> melch: could you find the network manager?
[04:29] <Amaranth> tj83, legend2440: Running alacarte as root is a great way to break your menu
[04:29] <melch> ruiboon, i started one up
[04:29] <darkcrab> is there a way to auto-login without the gnome-keyring asking me for my password?
[04:29] <melch> ruiboon, what do u wnat me to look fo
[04:29] <dmsuperman> #maemo
[04:29] <tj83> amaranth... as i see it.. its currently broken
[04:30] <ruiboon> melch: ok. under Connection. do you see eth0 and eth1 ?
[04:30] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Then I have no idea. You have no other way to login?
[04:30] <janice8954> Nope.
[04:30] <ruiboon> melch: i mean wired connection
[04:30] <bullgard4> What is the use of the /usr/share/menu directory?
[04:30] <janice8954> startx is not even loading.
[04:30] <melch> ruiboon, i see both
[04:30] <tj83> i dont even care if the still exist.. i just dont want to see then
[04:30] <tj83> thm*
[04:30] <tj83> them*
[04:30] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Wow... That's of the wierdness ><
[04:31] <janice8954> That loads a desktop but when I try to  start the login window deal it says that gdm is not running.
[04:31] <ruiboon> melch: then is the box for eth1 ticked?
[04:31] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: it has menu information in it that is used for synchronizing menus accross desktop enviromnents
[04:31] <snake> harriseldon: firefox its using icedtea java. how to change it
[04:31] <janice8954> So now I am lost. I would do a fresh install but that would wipe out all my file and I can't have that happen.
[04:31] <Amaranth> tj83: If you don't care about mime type associations (open this file with that app) you can clear out every single user change to your menu (which wine is)
[04:31] <melch> ruiboon, for both are
[04:31] <woodie> it is just a test ,can i see what i type..
[04:32] <Amaranth> tj83: To do that delete the ~/.config/menus, ~/.local/share/applications, and ~/.local/share/desktop-directories folders
[04:32] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Have you tried typing $sudo gdm-setup     in a terminal?
[04:32] <bullgard4> Starnestommy: 'desktop environments' refers to GNOME and KDE?
[04:32] <tj83> amaranth... lookin now
[04:32] <melch> ruiboon, what should i do should i disable roming
[04:32] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: and xfce plus most window managers
[04:32] <ruiboon> melch: i suppose that there is no dhcp server running on the local network?
[04:33] <melch> ruiboon, what do u mean
[04:33] <bullgard4> Starnestommy: Thank you for explaining.
[04:33] <ruiboon> melch: try disabling roaming and give it a static ip address like <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:33] <glitsj16> darkcrab: you can by adding a few lines to your .profile .. I've pasted it at http://paste.ubuntu.com/16334/
[04:33] <woodie> i wander where is the drivers, it used to be in the menu of 7.10,
[04:34] <ruiboon> melch: currently how is your internal network looks like? any router/switch between the internet-connected computer and the rest?
[04:34] <janice8954> RICE: no, standbye let me try that.
[04:34] <melch> ruiboon, what submask and gateway
[04:34] <synobal> woodie, hardware drivers is under  System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[04:34] <harriseldon> snake make sure the ice tea packages are not installed
[04:34] <ruiboon> melch: submask <IP_ADDRESS> leave gateway blank
[04:34] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Alright. If it gives you the average gdm settings screen, switch back to a trusted theme and check the other theme's directory.
[04:34] <janice8954> Okay, thatnks
[04:35] <janice8954> I think someone else said something about that before, I couldn't find the site that said it. Wouldn't you know it.
[04:35] <fyreofchaos13> Is anybody familiar with todiscgui?
[04:35] <melch> ruiboon,  that got it to get the firewall running
[04:35] <janice8954> Would anyone know how to get an ATI radeon 7000 working in Kubuntu?
[04:36] <darkcrab> will gnome-keyring still ask me for my password though glitsj16
[04:36] <melch> ruiboon, the other computer did not get an ip
[04:36] <glitsj16> darkcrab: no
[04:36] <snake> harriseldon: can you tell me what those packages are so i dont remove something that i may need
[04:37] <ruiboon> melch: for the other computer, configure its ip as <IP_ADDRESS>, submask <IP_ADDRESS>, gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:37] <tj83> Amaranth well done... thank you.. i didnt delete all of that... but i was able to find those broken links and delete then only.. many thanks just want i needed
[04:37] <ruiboon> melch: see if you could ping <IP_ADDRESS> (thats google)
[04:38] <glitsj16> darkcrab: there's an additional setting you might need to activate to keep things from breaking, looking in to the menu option under ubuntu for exact phrasing because i'm on xubuntu and it might differ, brb
[04:38] <harriseldon> snake I do not have it installed, but the one I see is icedtea-gcjwebplugin. It looks like the icedtea packages start icedtea-java remove those
[04:38] <darkcrab> kk
[04:38] <janice8954> [RICE] it tells me that command cannot be found. Mind you an I am Shell prompt from the recovery menu
[04:39] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Ahmm... >< I don't know what else to try.
[04:39] <Myxamatosis> hello
[04:39] <melch> no go
[04:40] <janice8954>  frelling weird. Maybe if I try running it from the desktop that startx brings up
[04:40] <harriseldon> janice8954 you can edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Look for the line that start GraphicalTheme and change it to something like Human. You will need to use sudo to edit this file. (in my file it is line 504, but it may be different for you)
[04:40] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Yes, it would then.
[04:40] <[RICE]> @janice8954, PROBABLY
[04:40] <Myxamatosis> do yall know of any computer security servers?
[04:40] <harriseldon> janice8954 I mean change just the them, keep the GraphicalTheme= part
[04:40] <snake> harriseldon: ok done it ? so now everything should be ok ?
[04:40] <melch> ruiboon, nothing
[04:40] <harriseldon> snake try it
[04:41] <ruiboon> melch: what about ping <IP_ADDRESS> (thats the internet connected computer)
[04:41] <m_newton> Hello! Anyone know a good library of dictionary to use for open office? like word 2007, this is so that oppen office recognizes what i type like word???? Any ideas???
[04:41] <janice8954> I don't know. I tried something similar and it said that gdm was not running.
[04:42] <fyreofchaos13> Hello, is there anybody who is familiar with todiscgui?
[04:42] <SeaPhor> ruiboon, thats a local addy,, not inet
[04:42] <melch> good ten it goes to ...51
[04:42] <harriseldon> janice8954 you can use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop it from running
[04:42] <ruiboon> seanw: i mean that is the internal ip of the internet connected computer
[04:42] <harriseldon> janice8954 you can then use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to start it back up
[04:42] <janice8954> now when I run the startx a thing comes up saying "This session is running as as privileged user.
[04:42] <ruiboon> seanw: there is 2 nic involved
[04:42] <glitsj16> darkcrab: can you find the "Login Window" settings ?
[04:43]  * Rolanditu is away (Leaving! Regreso Mas Tarde!)
[04:43] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Just means you're running the x session with root privaleges.
[04:43] <harriseldon> janice8954 were you at a root shell (# prompt)?
[04:43] <darkcrab> yes glitsj16
[04:43] <TheNerdGotchU> how do you open a directory in the terminal
[04:43] <Starnestommy> TheNerdGotchU: cd
[04:43] <glitsj16> darkcrab: if you open that, there's a tab called 'security' .. enable autologin from there and you should be fine
[04:44] <fyreofchaos13> Hello, is there anybody who is familiar with todiscgui?
[04:44] <janice8954> harriseldon, I have no idea. I am rather new at all this. It was a huge accomplishment when I got my bcm4311 to work correctly lol
[04:44] <darkcrab> k cool glitsj16
[04:45] <harriseldon> janice8954 that is ok. ctrl-alt-backspace will exit X and get you back to the terminal. Then you can check the prompt.
[04:45] <melch> ruiboon, any ideas or should we call it anight
[04:45] <TheNerdGotchU> how do you go back a directory or up one directory
[04:46] <Starnestommy> TheNerdGotchU: cd ..

[04:46] <harriseldon> TheNerdGotchU cd .. goes up one directory, cd - goes to the last directory
[04:46] <TaRDy> is there a command line command to change the name of a user?
[04:46] <new2linux> anybody has idea what's wrong with it?
[04:46] <janice8954> your commands aren't working from the terminal in X
[04:46] <ruiboon> melch: i guess that is what i know as of now. other may be able to help you better
[04:46] <wlofie> query: what channel would be best for ppc ubuntu questions? (boot issue / yaboot / install script)
[04:46] <melch> ruiboon, thanks
[04:46] <bazhang_> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-642950.html fyreofchaos13 please see this
[04:47] <ruiboon> melch: np (:
[04:47] <janice8954>  harriseldon, i am at the root prompt
[04:47] <melch> ruiboon, nice smilly lol
[04:47] <SeaPhor> its a uni-brou
[04:47] <harriseldon> janice8954 did you try to stop gdm? /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[04:47] <janice8954> Yes
[04:48] <k06> ubuntu 8.04: where is Device Manager/Hardware Information? Googling says it's supposed to be in System>Preferences or Administration, but I can't find it. :(
[04:48] <harriseldon> janice8954 now you need to edit gdm.conf. You can use nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (the commands to save and exit are listed at the bottom)
[04:48] <harriseldon> janice8954 look for the line that says GraphicalTheme= and change it to GraphicalTheme=Human
[04:49] <PCcertified> Antivirus question,  is an antivirus really necessary on ubuntu ?
[04:49] <bazhang_> !virus | PCcertified
[04:49] <ubot3`> PCcertified: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[04:50] <glitsj16> pccertified: to confuse things, ubuntu also states this .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus ..; opnions differ ;)
[04:50] <n-iCe> does hardy comes with compiz??
[04:51] <janice8954> argh now I have to reboot
[04:51] <new2linux> my eth0 is facing to the network for thin-client, should it be in static ip mode or roaming mode?
[04:51] <janice8954> I think that command will work, I was loggin in from root. Do you think that's why the command wasn't working?
[04:51] <djzn> anyone familiar with audio (cooledit, audacity, audition):  why re-saving a WAV in Audacity does not give me the same bit-identical WAV file as the original ?
[04:52] <harriseldon> janice8954 possibly. Did you enable root logins? Ubuntu blocks them by default.
[04:52] <Zaiden> Think there'll be a fix for PulseAudio soon?
[04:52] <janice8954> I'm not sure. I actually think I did.
[04:52] <janice8954> When I initially setup the loggin window.
[04:52] <janice8954> This is really crazy lol.
[04:52] <n-iCe> does hardy comes with compiz???
[04:53] <pros9000> Hardy does come with compiz, but it depends on your graphics card
[04:53] <janice8954> n-ice I have not seen that program on my machine, so I think that's a no
[04:53] <glitsj16> djzn: never experienced that with audacity (1.3.4 beta) .. have you checked your settings ?
[04:53] <djzn> glitsj16: I didn't touch the settings....
[04:54] <n-iCe> pros9000,  how do I remove it?
[04:54] <pros9000> n-iCe is your system running too slow or something
[04:54] <djzn> glitsj16: but I am wondering... cooledit *is* saving a copy of the WAV that is identical to what it was opened. But not Audacity... I am missing something?
[04:54] <n-iCe> no, but i can't expand my menu bar on the top
[04:54] <pros9000> Try system -> appearance -> effects -> none
[04:54] <glitsj16> djzn: can't tell, never used cooledit
[04:54] <n-iCe> I did, but that doesn't uninstall, right?
[04:54] <m11> how to fix broken system that is booting to busybox ?
[04:55] <n-iCe> I don't want it on my system anymore, pros9000
[04:55] <djzn> glitsj16: is there anything in audacity that writes wav metadata or stuff like that?
[04:55] <pros9000> n-iCe you could go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the video driver to vesa
[04:55] <harriseldon> n-iCe uninstall will do nothing for you if it is not running. It will just free up some disk space
[04:55] <pros9000> On Gutsy, I added ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable
[04:55] <pros9000> a text file
[04:55] <glitsj16> djzn: yes i think so, that might be it .. it wouldn't hurt to re-check the settings i guess to make sure
[04:55] <pros9000> That also disabled xgl
[04:56] <djzn> glitsj16: because that happens for the first time only, if I re-save again the "not identical" file, it will give a identical file to it
[04:56] <n-iCe> pros9000,  that's other thing i don't have configurated nothing there
[04:56] <glitsj16> djzn: that sounds bizarre and at the same time defaulty .. better check to make sure
[04:56] <PCcertified> can someone tell me why I might get this message when trying to install an app with synaptic ?
[04:56] <PCcertified> Could not connect to ca.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 Connection refused)
[04:57] <PCcertified> is the repo working?
[04:57] <glitsj16> djzn: btw, are you able to record in audacity using ALSA ?
[04:57] <Zaiden> when editing a file through the terminal as root, how do you rename a file, and delete a file?
[04:57] <pros9000> PCcertified /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:57] <janice8954> harriseldon:I am in that one deal, but I don't know what to do next. I feel rather stupid
[04:57] <n-iCe> pros9000,  look, http://asdasdasd.pastebin.com/m69c6567e
[04:57] <pros9000> PCcertified bad entry looks like
[04:57] <djzn> glitsj16: yes
[04:58] <m11> is it safe to use this command on livecd sudo e2fsck -y -f -v /dev/hda2 to fix ext3-fs error and group description corupted error ??
[04:58] <PCcertified> can someone tell me what the correct connection should look like?
[04:58] <glitsj16> djzn: just asking, i had a bit of a whirl getting it to work with the new pulseaudio stuff ..
[04:58] <pros9000> n-iCe ok, have you done sudo apt-get install envyng?
[04:58] <n-iCe> no
[04:59] <pokerfacepenguin> Zaiden: mv command is for renaming

[04:59] <n-iCe> there is no a package named envyng by the way

[05:05] <pokerfacepenguin> adred: "something about network manager" doesnt quite explain what the problem is.....i would say that you got a networking issue of some kind.  Your "network manager" helps you connect.  You should get an exact error and put it in google.  Thats what i would do if it were me.

[05:08] <legend2440> PCcertified: i use main server and avant-window-navigator is in synaptic
[05:08] <Jordan_U> wobblyw1, Possibly not the ideal solution but you can move the panel
[05:08] <wobblyw1> Jordan_U, that's what I have now, but it's far from ideal indeed :)
[05:08] <Odd-rationale> frsandstone77: the networking section in that article might be out of date...

[05:22] <selocol> hi i just installed xfonts-intl-japanese but how do i know what fonts (their names) i installed? thanks
[05:22] <selocol> also xfonts = xft fonts = bitmap fonts?
[05:22] <astro76> Stevethepirate: if you set up a SOCKS proxy you can use one tunnel/port
[05:22] <n-iCe> can anyone help? http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5519/pantallazoum9.png
[05:22] <Flannel> jb0t: Looks all good, what does "sudo apt-get update" give you
[05:23] <Flannel> jb0t: Any errors?
[05:23] <jb0t> Flannel: no, it looks good
[05:23] <janice8954> flannel, now it's not loading gdm
[05:23] <janice8954> at all
[05:23] <m11> cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are fixed now and are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated...
[05:23] <Stevethepirate> astro76: Well, each ssh tunnel is a tunnel to a socks5 proxy I have.. but its speed limited... to 30k/sec.. I need around 300k/sec.. so i need some way to merge the tunnels..
[05:23] <Flannel> jb0t: Alright, pastebin... apt-cache policy mysql-common
[05:23] <Flannel> janice8954: What?
[05:23] <janice8954> Is there a command to setup gdm?
[05:23] <jb0t> k
[05:24] <PCcertified> Dasmoover:  the setup is slightly different depending on the vid card you have in your system,  what video card do you have
 that or he didnt properly configure compiz correctly
[05:24] <janice8954> I did login using root prompt, but when I typed "gdm" to start it's giving me a bunch of error messages.
[05:24] <emily_> anyone? vmware? ubuntu-server? help?
[05:24] <jb0t> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m662e5f53
[05:24] <Flannel> janice8954: sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:24] <Stevethepirate> astro76: Know what I'm saying?
[05:24] <wormwood> whats the command for peering inside a package to inspect file contents?
[05:25] <Odd-rationale> wormwood: less?
[05:25] <Flannel> janice8954: That's not a root prompt, just a CLI, and yes, it'd be normal for gdm to not work there.
[05:25] <Odd-rationale> wormwood: oh, a packages...
[05:25] <wormwood> aye
[05:25] <astro76> Stevethepirate: yes, but no idea how to do it, I've never heard of such a configuration ;)
[05:25] <mstef> why isnt cp -p preserving the permissions?
[05:25] <n-iCe> can anyone help? http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5519/pantallazoum9.png
[05:25] <Flannel> jb0t: Alright, now sudo apt-get install mysql-common
[05:25] <hilz> hi guys. i open the System Settings dialog to change the display resolution, but the "Apply" button is disabled. i assume it is because i need to start the system settings as an administrator, but i can't find how to do that. i am on Kununtu 8.04 KDE4. help please!
[05:25] <Odd-rationale> wormwood: like a .deb? or .tar?
[05:25] <emily_> oh screw it
[05:26] <SuN13> flannel: you get paid to be here
[05:26] <Stevethepirate> astro76: Its like.. I want it to whenever it opens a new connection, for example to download something, to cycle through the tunnels.... Using the one with least load..
[05:26] <Flannel> SuN13: Nope
[05:26] <jb0t> Flannel: same as before.  not avail.  referred to by another package.  has no install candidate
[05:26] <wormwood> Odd-rationale: right, like if I find a package via apt-cache and I want to inspect its file contents how would I do that
[05:26] <christoz> what is the boting path to boot into ubuntu from the grub selector?
[05:27] <SuN13> flannel: thanks
[05:27] <janice8954> Flannel, is that going to solve the login screen?
[05:27] <Odd-rationale> wormwood: you mean like apt-cache show <packagename> ?
[05:27] <jb0t> Flannel: possibly useful info.  the initial install on edgy was amd64-server  i believe
[05:27] <Flannel> jb0t: Er... Except it just said it was available!  Can you pastebin these commands all in one (just copy/paste the rest)? sudo apt-get update ; apt-cache policy mysql-common ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[05:27] <Flannel> janice8954: it should, yes.
[05:27] <jb0t> sure
[05:27] <janice8954> It's unable to fetch those things needed for install
[05:27] <wormwood> Odd-rationale: yeah, but with the individual file listing
[05:28] <Odd-rationale> wormwood: idk then. sorry... :(
[05:28] <Flannel> janice8954: What things did it need?  I don't think you mentioned that to me.
[05:28] <janice8954> Like, you know when it's trying to download the needed files to install a package.
[05:28] <wormwood> Odd-rationale: np :) pkg_info -L 'blah' does that on FreeBSD was just wondering if Ubuntu had something similar
[05:29] <Flannel> janice8954: Right, what are the errors?
[05:29] <Flannel> janice8954: do you have any particular package names?
[05:29] <gcarrillo> hi, i'm trying to set up an environment such that a process core dumps on a segmentation fault.  I believe i need the "ulimit" command to do this, but i don't have it on my system, and don't know what package it's in.
[05:29] <jb0t> Flannel: desktop?  this is a server. no gui installed, or wanted
[05:29] <cn28h> gcarrillo, ulimit is usually internal.. are you using bash?
[05:29] <Flannel> jb0t: What?  If I said anything about a GUI, I meant it for janice8954
[05:29] <jb0t> k
[05:30] <gcarrillo> cn28h: let me double check
[05:30] <Flannel> jb0t: Oh!
[05:30] <gcarrillo> cn28h: yup, i am
[05:30] <Flannel> jb0t: sorry.  Stop, stop.  No ubuntu-desktop, mysql-common
[05:30] <cn28h> also you can set it by calling the ulimit() function - see man 3 ulimit
[05:30] <m11> can someone help getting ubuntu to boot up properly ?it ends now on busybox
[05:30] <Flannel> jb0t: Shoot.   I really hope you didn't hit enter.  If you did, not the end of the world.
[05:30] <cn28h> gcarrillo, bash should have it built in
[05:30] <gcarrillo> ah
[05:31] <christoz> what is the booting path to edit grub in order to load ubuntu?
[05:31] <gcarrillo> haha
 hold on
[05:31] <gcarrillo> cn28h: you're right, sorry
[05:31] <cn28h> gcarrillo, don't be sorry ;P
[05:31] <steve__> hmmm I have a booy up problem too :-(
[05:31] <jb0t> Flannel: no.  i figured you might have typed :)
[05:31] <jb0t> typod
[05:31] <PCcertified> Dasmoover: you still here?
[05:31] <gcarrillo> cn28h: i started by trying to pull up a manpage, and saw there was none...didn't even try to run it ;)  my bad ;)
[05:31] <Flannel> jb0t: whew.  So, those three, but mysql-common instead of ubuntu-desktop.
[05:31] <jb0t> Flannel: http://dpaste.com/54271/     (pastebin spam filter tripped? hmm)
[05:32] <DaveKong> Does anyone know if there are any current projects to create a Linux driver for the dell photo 926 printer?
[05:32] <b4l74z4r> is there a list of plugins for xchat anywhere on the web?
[05:32] <jb0t> oops..missed on
[05:32] <cn28h> gcarrillo, if it's in code that you are writing you can also use the ulimit() function

[05:32] <gcarrillo> cn28h: great, thanks.  looks like i'm set
[05:32] <christoz> what is the booting path to edit grub in order to load ubuntu?
[05:33] <jb0t> Flannel: take a look.  lemme know if thats right
[05:33] <janice8954> Flannel did that show up?
[05:33] <gcarrillo> christoz: /boot/grub/menu.lst, i believe
[05:33] <Flannel> janice8954: Use the pastebin
[05:33] <janice8954> What's that?
[05:33] <Flannel> !paste | janice8954
[05:33] <ubot3`> janice8954: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
 STOP dont do what i told you just yet
[05:33] <PCcertified> janice8954: open your repo list in synaptic and change the pulldown box to MAIN
 Respond if you are still here
[05:34] <Flannel> janice8954: Actually, I see the issue.  And I think PCcertified does too.
[05:34] <PCcertified> janice8954: I was having the same trouble
[05:34] <pokerfacepenguin> anybody in here run ubuntu on a carputer?
[05:34] <Flannel> jb0t: now sudo apt-get install mysql-common
[05:34] <PCcertified> it seems the server is not always reliable but main works
[05:35] <Flannel> PCcertified: no, her problem is http:/us. as opposed to http://us.
[05:35] <m11> how to force fschk from livecd so that it starts after reboot ?
[05:35] <Flannel> PCcertified: hmm, maybe those are typos

[05:35] <Azael> xfce my keyboard shortcuts work fine unless I try to use anything invlovingthe super key, the marco sees it and records it as alt + l super or what ever, but they don't work on the desktop.  I have gone to google, and found alot of idscussion but no answers that seem to work for me.
[05:35] <jb0t> Flannel: http://dpaste.com/54272/
[05:36] <pokerfacepenguin> i was thinking of building a small carputer for wardriving with a mini-itx board and wonder if there are any caveats to be aware of with jetways or vias...anyone got any input?
[05:36] <Flannel> janice8954: Those are us.archive.ubuntu.com, right?
 check out this link for editing the grub file
[05:36] <janice8954> I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. I am not even able to get in the GUI
 https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/dualboot-custom.html
[05:36] <janice8954> yes Flannel
[05:36] <christoz> gcarrillo this path is not valid anymore cause i ave install recently windows ....and after restoreing grub the path is not valid
[05:37] <Flannel> jb0t: this is odd indeed.  Oh, youre running as root.  Try just "apt-get install mysql-common"
[05:37] <PCcertified> Flannel: mie was ca
[05:37] <gcarrillo> christoz: ahh
[05:37] <PCcertified> Flannel: CA was mine cuz I'm in Canada.   I just used the pulldown box and changed Canada to MAIN and it works now
[05:37] <jb0t> Flannel: hah. yeah.  same error.
[05:37] <Flannel> janice8954: Alright, um, try `sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list` and then remove all the "us."'s from the beginning of the urls (http://archive.ubuntu.com)
[05:38] <jb0t> Flannel: was literally pasting :)
[05:38] <Flannel> PCcertified: she has no GUI
[05:38] <gcarrillo> christoz: you can boot off a liveCD, and run whatever command installs grub into the MBR
[05:38] <janice8954> I just solved the problem It's not able to acess the respos, because it has not Inet connection
[05:38] <gcarrillo> that could restore it
[05:38] <janice8954> repos rather
[05:38] <joanjoseph> Hi, does any1 know how to setup a unichrome video card in hardy 64bit? I've got jmicron video card>>> ty
[05:39] <Flannel> jb0t: So.... random.  Since it claims it sees it right there!  Which pastebin was your sources.list?  do you have that handy still?
[05:39] <jb0t> sure
[05:39] <Flannel> jb0t: Oh, I found it, different bin.
[05:39] <m11> can i use partition editor from livecd to fix broken ext3 ?
[05:39] <fyreofchaos13> Can somebody help me? I'm trying to burn a DVD, but cannot create the structure.
[05:39] <jb0t> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m1b5a19a3
[05:39] <Azael> fyreofchaos, ubuntu?
[05:39] <Dasmoover> i installed fusion-icon
[05:39] <fyreofchaos13> Yes.
[05:40] <Azael> sudo apt-get install gnomebaker
[05:40]  * Kcaj[programming slaps galvinate around a bit with a large trout
[05:40] <PCcertified> hmmm, so I guess just remove ca. from the beginning of the repo's in /etc/apt/sources.list and it will use the main repo's
[05:40] <Flannel> jb0t: you know what, lets try changing us.archive.ubuntu to just plain archive.ubuntu
[05:40] <janice8954> Still hasn't really solved the problem.
[05:40] <Dasmoover> my screen is so laggy, but when i select indirect renderinging, it works but my deskrop freezes
[05:40] <jb0t> ok
[05:40] <janice8954> now I just have no access to the repositories. is there a way to make it get it from the install CD?
[05:40] <Kcaj[programming> I love you guys, and Ubuntu. I want a non-bias'd opinion though; what is the best distro to use with KDE as default (desktop, well, laptop actually)? I want decent server capabilities (sand-box for programming, development station) but lots of good desktop features.
[05:40] <christoz> "you can boot off a liveCD, and run whatever command installs grub into the MBR" what do you mean exactly to do gcarrillo ?
[05:41] <Flannel> Kcaj[programming: #ubuntu-offtopic for that, thanks
[05:41] <Kcaj[programming> I really want KDE instead of Gnome, just becase as I have seen recently, it looks much nicer.
[05:41] <Kcaj[programming> Okay
[05:41] <Flannel> !grub | christoz
[05:41] <ubot3`> christoz: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:41] <Flannel> christoz: First link
[05:41] <janice8954> Flannel. Someone just gave me an idea. What if I run the Live CD and then run those commands there?
[05:41] <janice8954> Will that work?
[05:41] <Flannel> jb0t: After you've changed, apt-get update && apt-get install mysql-common
[05:41] <cyberbuff> Hello! I am using Ubuntu8.04, how can install firefox2 and get rid of ff3b5?
[05:41] <janice8954> Nope of course that won't work because it's mounted the hard drive
[05:42] <Azael> does the lilo boot=/bin/bash, mount -rw,remount trick work in ubuntu, she could reinstall grub that way
[05:42] <fyreofchaos13> Azael, will this create a DVD viewable through a DVD player?
[05:42] <flaccid> cyberbuff: remove the firefox 3 package and install the firefox 2 package
[05:42] <janice8954> because it's not*
[05:42] <Flannel> janice8954: LiveCD won't help, no.  Do you not have internet on this box currently?
[05:42] <Azael> dvd or cd by tree or iso or audio
[05:42] <flaccid> cyberbuff: sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0 & sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[05:42] <m11> before i mess somthing badly , can i use livecd partition editor to fix ext3 error ?
[05:42] <gcarrillo> christoz:  boot off the liveCD and run "man -s8 grub-install"
[05:42] <steve__> when ubuntu boots it runs the totem movie player trying to stream radio caroline ... every time. Has anyone got ideas on how to fix that? ... sorry I'm new to Ubuntu ... you guessed lol
[05:43] <janice8954> Flannel heres the problem I can't start the GUI because I can't login using GDM. So, I had to to go root prompt using recovery.
[05:43] <gcarrillo> christoz: that program can restore the boot block
[05:43] <Flannel> gcarrillo: That page explains how to do it, no need fo man pages.
[05:43] <janice8954> and that's where I have been trying to run all these commands until you suggested the ctrl alt f1
[05:43] <Flannel> janice8954: type `init 2` then ctrl-alt-f1, then log in.  GDM has nothing to do with logging into TTys
[05:43] <gcarrillo> Flannel: i didn't see what you wrote
[05:43] <DShepherd> does installing the ubuntu-restricted-formats packages also install w32codecs?
[05:43] <janice8954> now I am stuck in that prompt
[05:44] <janice8954> I am logged in already.
[05:44] <Flannel> janice8954: What do you mean stuck?
[05:44] <janice8954> I just have gui
[05:44] <janice8954> I mean, I don't have a gui
[05:44] <Flannel> janice8954: So, you have internet now?
[05:44] <janice8954> No
[05:44] <gcarrillo> Flannel: i see it...cool link
[05:44] <Azael> fyre its is a front end so check if cdrecord is loaded.  sudo apt-get install cdrecord will do fine for that
[05:44] <cyberbuff> flaccid: is not a little too obvious? i wanted to know "how"
[05:45] <EvolElm0> restarting x-server.. how do i do it? XD.. tryin to get my 2nd moniter back online
[05:45] <flaccid> cyberbuff: goto a console and issue the command. thats how.
[05:45] <janice8954> I am stuck here because you had me remove GDM
[05:45] <Azael> alt ctrl backspace to restart x
[05:45] <fyreofchaos13> Already installed.
[05:45] <Azael> kewl
[05:46] <jb0t> Flannel: http://dpaste.com/54274/    odd.
[05:46] <Flannel> janice8954: I wasn't aware you had no internet at the time, as that does complicate things.  Do you have an alternate CD by any chance?  Or any way of getting internet?
[05:46] <fyreofchaos13> So, I have an mpg version of what I was trying to burn already.
[05:46] <JDStone> I'm getting this in my logs: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[05:46] <cyberbuff> flaccid: thanks :)
[05:46] <JDStone> how do I fix that
[05:46] <fyreofchaos13> Will burning that via. GnomeBaker work, with it playable through DVD players?
[05:46] <flaccid> cyberbuff: wasnt that obvious :)
[05:46] <janice8954> I don't have an alt CD> I have an alt CD for Kubuntu, but not for Ubuntu
[05:46] <janice8954> and the only other means of internet is the machine I am right now.
[05:47] <janice8954> actually, I have should have an alt CD for Xubuntu
[05:47] <Azael> should work, I burn discs at work with it all the time for customers to have manuals in pdf format
[05:47] <Flannel> janice8954: Either one will work, actually.
[05:47] <janice8954> Okay, so what do I do with that?
[05:47] <Flannel> janice8954: Assuming they're for 8.04 like this one, (we're on 8.04. right?)
[05:47] <Azael> its a front end, it will set the disc up however you want it. audi/video data
[05:48] <Flannel> JDStone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#head-6ce180906ddbc141ef4b213f82465515a8ad3031
[05:48] <janice8954> Yes Flannel
[05:48] <legend2440> Azael: fyreofchaos13is trying to create the DVD file structure the vob and ifo files. gnomebaker only burns them after he has created them
[05:48] <Flannel> janice8954: alright, if you have Xubuntu, we'd prefer to use that, but either will work.  Which are we using?
[05:48] <fyreofchaos13> Nod.
[05:48] <fyreofchaos13> How can I structure them?
[05:48] <janice8954> hardy
[05:49] <JDStone> ah hah, thanks Flannel
[05:49] <Flannel> janice8954: right, but Xubuntu or Kubuntu? (preferrably Xubuntu)
[05:49] <fyreofchaos13> I tried with tovid's makexml, but apparently the command disappeared.
[05:49] <Azael> ok sorry. I saw a hot-to somewhere, but don't remember
[05:49] <janice8954> Xubuntu
[05:49] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: the easist one i ever found to create dvd files is varsha
[05:49] <janice8954> Crackers
[05:49] <Flannel> jb0t: I'm so ... stupified.  This makes no sense.
[05:49] <janice8954> That's a Kubuntu
[05:49] <jb0t> Flannel: yeah. i'm lost too.
[05:49] <Azael> anyone understand xfce?
[05:49] <janice8954> Sorry Flannel. Only have a Kubuntu Alt
[05:50] <Flannel> jb0t: download the package manually, dpkg it?
[05:50] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: it is a java app that works very well
[05:50] <fyreofchaos13> Hrm...
[05:50] <Flannel> janice8954: Alright, that'll work.  Pop it in, `sudo apt-cdrom add`
[05:50] <steve__> when ubuntu boots it runs the totem movie player trying to stream radio caroline ... every time. Has anyone got ideas on how to stop it loading?
[05:50] <janice8954> That won't work from the normal install?
[05:50] <radius_> which repo do i need to get the security updates for hardy heron?
[05:50] <Flannel> janice8954: What?
[05:51] <zalfa> help

[05:51] <Flannel> !ask | zalfa
[05:51] <ubot3`> zalfa: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[05:51] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: earlier you mentioned todiscgui. is that part of tovid?
[05:51] <fyreofchaos13> Nod.
[05:52] <PCcertified> steve__:  System->Preferences-> Sessions
[05:52] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: that didnt work?
[05:52] <janice8954> flannel. what I was asking is this. That command wouldn't work from the normal install CD?
[05:52] <fyreofchaos13> legend2440: It said it succeeded, but nothing was created, structured, or burned to the blank DVD.
[05:53] <zalfa> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[05:53] <zalfa> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[05:53] <Flannel> janice8954: No, Desktop CDs don't have the repositories on them, they just have an image, we need the packages from the alt CD
[05:53] <piju> how can i print using ubuntu ?
[05:53] <fyreofchaos13> legend2440: So I began trying to run the commands by hand, and one of the commands aren't working.
[05:53] <janice8954> Okay, I did what you said. now waht?
[05:53] <Azael> zalfa what were you doing when you got tyhis msg
[05:53] <davf_> can anyone tell me if I need to do anything with iptables to use amule with a default install of ubuntu hardy?
[05:53] <PCcertified> !print
[05:53] <ubot3`> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[05:53] <Flannel> janice8954: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kdm
[05:53] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: it didnt put iso or vob ifo files somwhere in your home directory?
[05:53] <PCcertified> !print | piju
[05:53] <DanaG> ANybody know what would make Ubuntu just mysteriously fail to print?
[05:53] <ubot3`> piju: please see above
[05:53] <davf_> I ed2k is working but not kad
[05:54] <fyreofchaos13> legend2440: Nope, it just immediately said complete with nothing happening.
[05:54] <fyreofchaos13> Once I did it by hand, it spent a good 20 minutes encoding an mpg, but that's it.
[05:54] <davf_> DanaG check http://localhost:631 and look at the status of the printer
[05:55] <rakib> hi people, i am getting problem with ubuntu editors.
[05:55] <janice8954> Flannel, it still gave me the crap about not being to find packages
[05:55] <Azael> rakib what editor
[05:55] <Flannel> janice8954: Which packages?
[05:55] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: yes you need the mpg. that is what the vob ifo dvd structure uses
[05:55] <Flannel> janice8954: A name is good enough
[05:55] <davf_> Anyone successfully using amule with ubuntu and kad?
[05:55] <joanjoseph> what kind of editor???? there are so many types of ubuntu editors???

[05:56] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: ok now i remember devede is good and its in synaptic
[05:56] <neohaven> on a stock Ubuntu 8.04 (64-bit) LTS Machine, where is the OpenSSH server found?
[05:56] <Flannel> neohaven: It isn't.  You'd have to install it
[05:57] <navetz> hey can anyone here please help me get my windows key working agiain. I messed up something with my keyboard settings and now the key is not working, please help
[05:57] <neohaven> Flannel: then why isn't it in the "add/remove" app?
[05:57] <PCcertified> rakib:  where are you copying the text from, a console?
[05:57] <Azael> navetz, I;m here for same reason, no luck yet
[05:57] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: do you see devede in synaptic?
[05:57] <fyreofchaos13> Yes, installed.
[05:57] <navetz> Azael: damn, I dunno what I did to mess it up.
[05:57] <DanaG> Anybody know what would make printing just mysteriously break?
[05:57] <Flannel> neohaven: No idea?  Its not somethign normal desktop users want.  You want the openssh-server package
[05:57] <DanaG> I try to print to my printer... and it thinks it succeeds.... but doesn't do anything.
[05:57] <steve__> does anyone know how to edit what programs run at startup in Ubuntu?
[05:58] <Flannel> !bum | steve__
[05:58] <ubot3`> steve__: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[05:58] <Azael> I got a new kybd w/ windows keys, I set the shortcuts but then they dont work
[05:58] <Azael> which desktop in ubuntu?
[05:58] <neohaven> Flannel: a search for openssh, ssh, or sshd doesn't return anything except clients.
[05:58] <Flannel> neohaven: Are you connected to the internet?
[05:58] <navetz> Azael: have you tried `xev` in a terminal?
[05:58] <neohaven> yes, it finds clients.
[05:58] <fyreofchaos13> legend2440: So this'll create the iso of the MPG, which I can burn to the DVD?
[05:58] <steve__> ok thx
[05:58] <Tilley> server freenode.com
[05:58] <Azael> just type xev/?
[05:58] <Tilley> eek
[05:58] <Tilley> sorry
[05:58] <Flannel> neohaven: Have you hit "update"?
[05:59] <navetz> Azael yea, then try some keys
[05:59] <happy> hello
[05:59] <PCcertified> navetz the best advice I can give you is, when you are about to activate it, choose use phone and follow the  directions
[05:59] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: ok that will create the dvd structure and the iso you can use to burn it to a dvd disc
[05:59] <janice8954> I think i got something from install flannel
[05:59] <Azael> ok whats that doing?
[05:59] <astro76> neohaven: add/remove app only shows gui programs
[05:59] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: yes it will
[05:59] <neohaven> Flannel: Update? in the Add/Remove app?
[05:59] <Flannel> neohaven: no, in Synaptic
[05:59] <navetz> PCcertified: for my keyboard?
[05:59] <janice8954> not sure what just yet, but I gots something.HEY EVERYTHING"S BACK!
[05:59] <Flannel> neohaven: system > admin > synaptic package manager
[05:59] <Flannel> neohaven: Add/Remvoe is just a tiny fraction of the stuff you can install
[06:00] <Felone> Gah.
[06:00] <Flannel> janice8954: that's kdm, not gdm, but once you're back online you can switch back to gdm (and remove kdm)
[06:00] <janice8954> It took out my internet though :)
[06:00] <Felone> Anyways.
[06:00] <Azael> nothing, jsut seing a bunch of VVV's in xterm window when I press volume key
[06:00] <janice8954> now, can you run me through how to do that?
[06:00] <legend2440> fyreofchaos13: do you see that create iso  bin/cue option?
[06:00] <neohaven> Flannel: then I probably will find openssh in Synaptic... but why have 2 distinct apps?
[06:00] <Felone> legend2440: Should I be using NTSC vid output?
[06:00] <Flannel> janice8954: once you're connected to the itnernet, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gdm, then sudo apt-get remove kdm
[06:00] <Flannel> neohaven: Because the server and the client are different
[06:01] <legend2440> Felone: are you in usa?
[06:01] <Felone> Yes.
[06:01] <Azael> nothing, just V's
[06:01] <legend2440> Felone:  then yes ntsc
[06:01] <davf_> No one uses amule or emaul?
[06:01] <janice8954> I am connected.
[06:01] <janice8954> Okay, one moment
[06:01] <Flannel> janice8954: Or, if you prefer synaptic, hit "update" then install gdm, then remove kdm
[06:01] <Azael> if I set up as u and down as d it works, but anything with a super key l or r doesn't work
[06:01] <Felone> Its set to Create ISO or BIN/CUE, as you said.
[06:02] <Flannel> jb0t: you awake?
[06:02] <neohaven> Flannel: not what I meant. What is the purpose of having 2 different apps managing packages? Both Synaptic and the Add/Remove one?
[06:02] <Azael> my vol up key is alt + super L for example
[06:02] <janice8954> Flannel is there anyway to change my password/
[06:02] <Flannel> neohaven: Add/Remove is dumbed down, its simplfiied so if you don't know the name of something, you can find it (and it only shows the stuff most people find interesting), Synaptic is everything (not just apps, but libs, etc, etc)
[06:02] <Flannel> janice8954: sure, users and groups can do it I think.  If not, the "passwd" command
[06:03] <neohaven> Flannel: Meh, I probably would have implemented a menu option with "Advanced..." or something, but ok, I get that. :)
[06:03] <janice8954> Flannel, taking out gdm would have wiped away that stupid theme that screwed me up in the first place right?
[06:03] <Flannel> neohaven: Add/remvoe is a custom app for Ubuntu, Synaptic is a stadnard one
[06:03] <Felone> legend2440: About how long should this take for a 10minute piece?
[06:04] <Flannel> janice8954: yeah, just removing the config files ("complete removal" in synptic).  And actually, once youinstall gdm, you should try it out before removing kdm
[06:04] <neohaven> Flannel: ok :)
[06:04] <legend2440> Felone: you already have mpeg file?
[06:04] <jb0t> Flannel: yeah..  this wrong?  http://dpaste.com/54275/
[06:04] <Felone> Nod.
[06:04] <Flannel> jb0t: /join #ubuntu-motu
[06:04] <janice8954> Whatever happened knocked out my bcm4311 but that's easy to get going again.
[06:05] <legend2440> Felone: making mpeg is the part that takes the longest. i guess maybe five minutes. its been a while since i've done any video encoding
[06:06] <legend2440> Felone: it will put files and iso in your home directory
[06:07] <Felone> Nod.
[06:07] <Felone> Then just burn that to the DVD, and it should work?
[06:07] <m11> kernel panic -not syncing attempt to kill init --- any help appriciated
[06:07] <legend2440> Felone: yes
[06:07] <Felone> Thank you! :)
[06:07] <johnnypanda> lol what am I doing here
[06:07] <legend2440> Felone: your welcome

[06:08] <janice8954> Now, heres a tricky one guys. Does anyone know how to get DVD playback on Kubuntu  6.06?
[06:09] <legend2440> Felone: you have any dvdrw's you may want to try that first to see if it looks right. until you get used to devede
[06:09] <m11> Azael: yes
 Kubuntu  6.06?? UPDATE!
[06:09] <Azael> never happened before. then shut down machines, reeat memory and cpu and cards, blow it out and try again
 dapper = old
[06:09] <Azael> reseat memory cards cpu etc
[06:10] <janice8954> m_newton, I can't update because anything higher won't run on this old machine
[06:10] <m11> Azael: u know somthing about that issue ?
[06:10] <janice8954> I tried Hardy and it just doesn't want to intall.
 why not? what is the problem, is it a driver issue?
[06:10] <Flannel> janice8954: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html
[06:10] <Azael> kernel panics can be hardware, sometimes reseating things can clear it up.  sure as hell can't hurt
[06:10] <dannyboy> how can i browse thru a windows mobile device using ubuntu?
[06:10] <janice8954> m_newton, it's a ram issue
[06:11] <m11> Azael: HW problem was fixed, then i had fschk repair from livecd and now i get kernel panic
 oh well listen to <Flannel> then, if you want to update talk to me
[06:11] <Felone> legend2440: This is just to get a school project on a readable DVD. In the future, should I be making cooler DVDs, I'll definitely play around first. :P
[06:11] <legend2440> Felone: oh ok

[06:12] <s_spiff> anyone with experience in configuring two ethernet cards here?? need help!!
[06:12] <legend2440> Felone: did you start with avi and encode to mpeg?
[06:13] <alioraibi>  I am new at linux & i have a question about the radio thing ????
[06:13] <m11> Azael: cooler went broken and system didnt boot corectly several times
[06:13] <Felone> Worse.

[06:13] <Azael> s-spiff yes I can help
[06:13] <alioraibi> aha

[06:13] <Azael> I had similair issue, had to add external ide card,
[06:13] <legend2440> Felone: never encoded wmv myself only avi's. what program did you use for that?
[06:14] <mohkohn> How can I remove a firefox plugin manually? Uninstall does not work.
[06:14] <m11> Azael: system booted , then got frozen due to broken cooler on southbridge, cooler now replaced and system is stable, but errors are unbelivalbe
[06:14] <Azael> kernel panic could be hardware thars all I'm saying
[06:14] <Felone> I used tovid
[06:14] <mohkohn> It just comes back as soon as I relaunch firefox
[06:14] <DanaG> Oh yeah, the printer shows as status being OK... and it claims to finish the jobs... but nothing comes out of the printer.
[06:15] <m11> Azael: 100% not hardware related issue as it would freeze again if cooler wouldnt work :/
[06:15] <janice8954> Okay, Flannel. How do I switch back to gdm?
[06:15] <brett> Hi, can somebody help me with an ide cdrom hooked up over usb?
[06:15] <Felone> The tovid script worked fine for me; it was the structuring script that failed out.
[06:15] <Azael> what other thinsg could have been stressed or damaged when cooler was out?
[06:15] <legend2440> Felone: yes tovid is good but after i found devede i used that to encode and create dvd structure files. not sure if devede encodes wmv though . never tried
[06:15] <musikgoat> ok, it seems currently I have nvidia driver version 169.12, and for my card support from nvidia, i need to run 173.14.05,  anyone know of a link for compiling and installing this driver?
[06:15] <Felone> I'll try it sometime.
[06:15] <Flannel> janice8954: when you install GDM, it should ask which one you want to use
[06:15] <janice8954> I did.
[06:16] <janice8954> and I selected gdm.
[06:16] <Flannel> janice8954: and it asked?  Alright, log out
[06:16] <Azael> if its that bad, put in a diff hd drive and see if you can get system up, cut the problem in half
[06:16] <legend2440> Felone: ok i got to go now .have fun
[06:16] <brett> I see it mount as 'USB Drive' in the file browser
[06:16] <Felone> Thank you! :)
[06:16] <brett> but I can't open it.
[06:16] <Flannel> janice8954: and you should be at GDM (like usual)
[06:16] <Felone> G'night.
[06:16] <m11> Azael: the M$ works
[06:16] <janice8954> Flannel: it's that simple eh?
[06:16] <Flannel> janice8954: yep
[06:17] <Azael> then your partition is corrupted somehow.  reload os from backup
[06:17] <m11> Azael: how u mean reload os from backup ?
[06:17] <ariqs> I got the celestia package, and when I click on it, it says starting celestia, loads various things and then vanishes and never shows up. Why?
[06:18] <Azael> you do make routine backups right?
[06:18] <janice8954> Alright thanks for all your help guys.
[06:18] <RobLoach> checkout?
[06:18] <RobLoach> cvs?
[06:18] <RobLoach> Argh, wrong channel.
[06:18] <Azael> s_spiff still here?
[06:18] <m11> Azael: my data yes, os no
[06:18] <s_spiff> Azael: yes
[06:18] <DanaG> Odd: I stuck the printer on my Fedora9 VM, and that prints perfectly fine.
[06:19] <DanaG> However, trying to print over network to the guest, from the host, fails just as mysteriously as when the printer is directly connected to the host.
[06:19] <Azael> ok, you might have to rebuild box.
[06:19] <Azael> ok, what is the network card prob? spif
[06:20] <s_spiff> Azael: rebuild??? meaning? the problem is given here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814701
[06:20] <m11> Azael: i can mount that partition thru livecd but i cant boot it :/
[06:20] <ariqs> ok, why can't I play dvds with VLC in ubuntu?
[06:20] <ariqs> I can only play dvds after I've ripped protections from them in windows
[06:20] <Azael> livecd has resce mode no? I forget
[06:21] <astro76> ariqs: installed libdvdcss2 ?
[06:21] <ariqs> checking, astro76
[06:21] <m11> Azael: i just run option to test without install
[06:21] <astro76> !medibuntu | ariqs you can get it here
[06:21] <ubot3`> ariqs you can get it here: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[06:21] <m11> Azael: then mount wanted partition
[06:21] <brett> Hrm so If I try and mount this thing, I get the old 'bad superblock on /dev/sdc etc..'
[06:21] <brett> Wrong driver?
[06:22] <ariqs> thanks
