[09:29] <retry> to install you need to boot from the iso...that means the vnc server isn't running
[09:29] <Stevethepirate> Jimi_Neutral: So your only option is to install the / partition on windows.
[09:29] <Jimi_Neutral> Stevethepirate, so it needs ot be from physical CD
[09:29] <Stevethepirate> retry: He could actually.
[09:29] <retry> how
[09:29] <Oli```> How can I find out what's locking apt? I can't see anything open that would be doing it
[09:29] <retry> man ubuntu offtopic has TOO much chatter
[09:29] <Stevethepirate> retry: He could "get the ball rolling"
[09:29] <retry> how
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> By resizing his NTFS partition actively.
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> And extracting all his / files.
[09:30] <cyqotiq> Oli```: Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, aptitude, apt-get, Ubuntu Software Center... none of those are running?
[09:30] <theadmin> Oli```: Well, try running "sudo killall apt-get && sudo killall aptitude && sudo killall synaptic"... those are 3 applications that most likely can do so
[09:30] <retry> well ok he could use virutalbox create a guest linux system ...attach to real drive
[09:30] <retry> boot guest off iso
[09:30] <retry> and install to drive
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> That is dumb.
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> But probably better than anything else.
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> Jimi_Neutral: Just go home early and install it.
[09:31] <Oli```> cyqotiq: not that I can see - no but I'll try theadmin's killalls
[09:31] <retry> your way won't install anything just dumps the CD iso
[09:31] <retry> that's not a full install
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> I didn't say dumb the ISO
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> *dump
[09:31] <retry> also the way I just described worked perfectly for getting my usb key install going
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> Lol.
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> That is a big rigmarole for a USB key ;/
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> :D You running DSL on it?
[09:31] <retry> naw
[09:32] <retry> full ubuntu
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> Eish :D
[09:32] <retry> i tried dsl and puppy and they pissed me off
[09:32] <retry> no security updates and freaking old software
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> Heh, I used fluxbox for around 2 years.
[09:32] <Jimi_Neutral> Stevethepirate, lol thanks I think i will, will be a lot easier
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> At school all machine were windows NT
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> Which was pretty irritating.
[09:32] <retry> Jimi_Neutral, install virtualbox on target machine
[09:33] <Stevethepirate> retry: For a new ubuntu user, he should rather just go home and install like a normal person.
[09:33] <Oli```> cyqotiq & theadmin: thanks - I looked through PS for synaptic and it turns out there an invisible window of it somewhere (very odd!) but killed now and apt-get is working. Thanks
[09:33] <alteregoa> i used flux capacitors 2 years ago
[09:33] <retry> well that's probably true, but I'm here to provide solutions, not make decisions
[09:33] <cyqotiq> Oli```: np

[09:33] <Stevethepirate> When I said fluxbox above I meant DSL with flux.
[09:34] <retry> change the number part of the url
[09:34] <retry> that might work
[09:34] <retry> DSL has 2.4 kernel...annoying
[09:35] <rumpsy> 2.4 kernels are solid, they give good performance
[09:35] <retry> the dsl one is old
[09:36] <rumpsy> may be old, but powerful
[09:36] <retry> i don't necessarily believe it
[09:36] <retry> anyway I wanted ext4 too
[09:36] <retry> to optimize use of disk

[09:39] <brijith> rumpsy:what I think is it is because of the proxy... I am using ...
[09:39] <rumpsy> Since you are using proxy server, you have to do certain settings in evolution i think so, check that

[09:42] <w3l54666> hey guys need help with my usb wifi dongle
[09:42] <w3l54666> anybody care to give 1-2-1 help???
[09:44] <Explore2> for farsight, i had to install libnice and it says, configure: error: could not find Python headers
[09:44] <Explore2> any suggestions?
[09:46] <w3l54666> i need to get my RT3070 usb wifi dongle working but have no idea!!! help!!!!
[09:48] <KrisKo> Explore2: try to install python debug packages
[09:48] <Oli```> w3l54666: try "sudo rmmod rt2800usb" and plugging it in again - that works for my RT USB one
[09:49] <Oli```> w3l54666: if that works, you want to blacklist it so it does it on boot
[09:50] <faileas> I have a programme whose man page is in a non standard location - /usr/local/foo/man/ some other stuff
[09:50] <faileas> how do i open thm?
[09:50] <cyqotiq> mv /usr/local/foo/man /usr/local/foo/man/chu
[09:51] <w3l54666> Oli```: it didnt work
[09:51] <cyqotiq> I'm so bad... sorry.
[09:51] <w3l54666> Oli```: hang on yes it did
[09:51] <w3l54666> Oli```: lolz how do i blacklist it??
[09:51] <faileas> cyqotiq: that's a terrible joke
[09:52] <Oli```> w3l54666: ;) I blacklisted mine by opening up another blacklist file (in my case /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf) and sticking "blacklist rt2800usb" on a new line but I think you can make a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/ as long as it starts "blacklist-" and ends ".conf"
[09:53] <cyqotiq> faileas: I know, I'm awful.. but "/usr/local/foo/man" was begging for it.
[09:54] <faileas> cyqotiq: if you insist /usr/local/gw6c/man/ and there's a man5 and man8 folder in it.
[09:54] <faileas> however the exact name of the app has nothing to do with the issue ;p
[09:54] <llutz> faileas: add it to MANPATH
[09:54] <faileas> llutz: how? and which one of the two?
[09:55] <llutz> faileas: /etc/manpath.config
[09:56] <llutz> faileas: adding /usr/local/gw6c/man/  should make 5 and 8 available (man 5 foo, man 8 foo)
[09:57] <faileas> llutz: ahh, fixed i think ;p

[10:34] <Oasa> If its not found,  I guess it will be a major problem. Try downloading the source again. Or see if they have given any another name for makefile. In that case you might need to specify aditional parameters.

[10:42] <rumpsy> he had it
[10:43] <mobi-sheep> rumpsy: sudo -i (better than activating a root account).
[10:43] <KrisKo> sudo su does login you as root
[10:43] <nakamuka> mobi-sheep, but is there any way to specify in the server side? as we specify for ftp in vsftp.conf anon_root=path ?
[10:43] <lynxsys> if I use ubuntu with lamp is it better to change the ownership of /var/www to the user with admin permissions to enable creating folders via ftp?
[10:43] <Myrtti> KrisKo: and it's not exactly safe method of doing it
[10:43] <Myrtti> KrisKo: there are better ways, which aren't needed either

[10:44] <mobi-sheep> nakamuka: Nothing I am aware of. You could try #ubuntu-server. It would defeat the purpose of using scp if I can't specify where to copy it to.

[10:52] <arand> rumpsy: yes, the one where you may install video drivers e.g. Also the command does not need gksu it seems, since it unlocks with password aftterward, when you install rather than when you start the app.

[10:55] <Oasa> $ are used to specify varibles :D
[10:55] <mobi-sheep> cantoma: Hmm. 16GiB to 2TiB for ext2. You're okasy.
[10:55] <alteregoa> then you can compress 1tb file within a 10kb rar
[10:56] <cantoma> whats the problem with bzip2?
[10:56] <alteregoa> maybe use a 64bit version

[10:58] <Sargun> 7+ year gentoo user converted to ubuntu
[10:58] <Sargun> Aren't you guys proud?
[10:58] <rumpsy> ya !
[10:59] <Sargun> Let's see how this goes, I am preserving my gentoo hard drive in case I want to go back
[10:59] <Sargun> how do I nuke the start-up sound?
[10:59] <rumpsy> But late migration, i think so..
[10:59] <Sargun> Why do you think it's late?
[10:59] <Sargun> I've already hit a few issues in Ubuntu that I didn't touch in Gentoo
[11:00] <rumpsy> you missed most of the releases in ubuntu
[11:00] <sambagirl> hey
[11:00] <Myrtti> rumpsy: at any given point, there's always some missed releases...
[11:00] <sambagirl> is there a ipad a4 port for ubuntu yet?
[11:01] <rumpsy> Sargun: goto system->preferences->sounds.. there you have options
[11:01] <arand> Sargun: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/437429 Sound customization is severely lacking in 9.10, but there are workarounds.
[11:01] <Sargun> :-/
[11:02] <Sargun> ew, atime is enabled.
[11:02] <Sargun> Man, what's up with the IO scheduler, I'm running a copy in the background and it's completely bringing my system to a halt
[11:02] <pat|nG> what's the command to delete an application? i mean the total delete?
[11:03] <Sargun> apt-get remove
[11:03] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: "sudo aptitude purge <xyzPackage>"
[11:03] <llutz> pat|nG: sudo aptitude/apt-get purge package
[11:03] <korb> good morning
[11:03] <pat|nG> thanx guys
[11:03] <Sargun> purge/remove, close enough
[11:03] <rumpsy> yes
[11:03] <Sargun> I come from a CentOS/Gentoo background
[11:03] <Sargun> where emerge -C was god.
[11:04] <rumpsy> Sargun: i'm new to centos, that i'm having in 3rd hdd
[11:04] <korb> can u guys recommend me a good and thin IM server for ubuntu ? actually i use jabberd14 but got serious memory issues, with a 500 users database i can get up to 4gb of mem use until it dumps the process
[11:04] <Sargun> korb, ejabberd is awesome
[11:05] <Sargun> unreal-ircd is fine for small installs
[11:05] <arand> pat|nG: The purge command will however not remove the user-specific config files in the home dir, those you will have to remove yourself..
[11:05] <Sargun> erm, inspircd, not unreal, unreal is actually pretty rad.
[11:05] <pat|nG> i just removed xscreensaver
[11:05] <pat|nG> i don't know where i get that app

[11:06] <faileas> korb: someone on superuser mentioned one called prosody http://prosody.im/
[11:06] <faileas> Sargun: eh. irc isn't really a 'proper' IM. IMO
[11:07] <pat|nG> any screensaver app u could recommend?
[11:07] <arand> pat|nG: xscreensaver-gl *-data are installed by default it seems (at least here on 9.04)
[11:07] <lynxsys> whats the command to change ownership? cli>chown -R user
[11:07] <Sargun> faileas, ejabberd is awesome
[11:07] <faileas> Sargun: well, since he explicitely mentioned having trouble with it... unless you could work out what's wrong... ;p
[11:08] <Sargun> oh, sorry, I didn't see that
[11:08] <Sargun> what issues were you hitting with ejabberd?
[11:08] <Sargun> faileas, what's wrong with irc?
[11:08] <faileas> Sargun: ...eep. i think i got confused
[11:08] <Halabund> Why does sound (e.g. music playback, regardless of player) have a different quality in WinXP and Ubuntu on the same machine?  Do any of them pass it through an equalizer?  It is markedly better ("wholer") in XP, while in Ubuntu it often makes the laptop case resonate even at not too high volumes.
[11:08] <korb> jabberd14 is the issue
[11:08] <faileas> Sargun: its just not an IM client ;p
[11:08] <faileas> *server
[11:08] <korb> 500users 4gb consumed mem until dumps
[11:09] <Sargun> korb, wait, -- ejabberd was consuming 4 G of memory?
[11:09] <KrisKo> lynxsys: you can use it to change user and group: chown user:group <file>
[11:09] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: If you come from CentOS/Gentoo background, you might be interested in Ubuntu Minimal (where you start with a console and install certain packages as you go).
[11:09] <Sargun> why does the clock do weather?
[11:09] <Myrtti> Sargun: gnome magic
[11:09] <Sargun> mobi-sheep, nah, I'll try ubuntu your way for a while
[11:09] <jetienne> somebody with good knowledge of unionfs ? if i modify a file, it copies the whole file and then do the modficiation ? or does it store only the modification ?
[11:10] <pat|nG> i've been reading linux documents.....just wanna ask something....are all those commands i've red on linux applicable here on ubuntu? or they do differ most of the commands?
[11:11] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: Usually yes. Unless you're reading outdated linux documents.
[11:11] <KrisKo> pat|nG: most commands are the same
[11:11] <llutz> pat|nG: most should work, there are always differences (i.e package-management)

[11:22] <Sargun> is there any downside to using apt as opposed to synaptic
[11:25] <enzotib> Sargun: the keys on the keyboard become gray faster
[11:25] <arand> Sargun: synaptic has a nicer internal history function, otherwise I don't think so.
[11:25] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: Nothing at all. synaptic is GUI package manager. apt is CLI package manager.
[11:25] <Sargun> and what is this aptititude thing
[11:25] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: Another front-end.
[11:26] <Myrtti> aptitude keeps a bit better track on what packages are installed than apt-get
[11:26] <Sargun> ah
[11:26] <arand> Sargun: somewhat higher-level than apt-get, has a ncurser interface if started as-is
[11:26] <pirx> hi! does anyone know if there are eclipse(ee) packages for ubuntu?
[11:27] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: The real package manager is dpkg. Apt, aptitude, synaptic, and Software Center are tied to it.
[11:27] <arand> Sargun: aptitude imo is better at showing conflicts and giving suggestions on solutions.
[11:29] <lysek> hi i cant find opera in synaptic

[11:31] <lysek> Sargun: so it is impossible to install via synaptic?

[12:07] <lotus> hey, aptitude seems to be going through Tor.  I don't want this and didn't torify apt-get, how can I stop this from happening?
[12:08] <mobi-sheep> locallyremote: Only if you know multiple languages. :o
[12:08] <locallyremote> or if they all know english? the standard defacto language for troublshooting? just kidding, generally #ubuntu scrolls so fast i cnt even read threads properly
[12:08] <arand> lotus: have you set up the $HTTP_PROXY to point to tor?
[12:09] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[12:09] <locallyremote> is $http_proxy and $HTTP_PROXY different to the xubuntu 9.10 environment?
[12:10] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: still got the same error
[12:10] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: http://tinyurl.com/ydhzgvy ?
[12:11] <pat|nG> i think it's in http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-updates/universe/binary-i386/packages.bz2 hash sum mismatch
[12:11] <arand> locallyremote: yes, variables are case-sensitive, if you've set the $HTTP_PROXY it might be applied to everything, hence apt as well..?
[12:12] <pat|nG> and the BADSIG
[12:12] <locallyremote> Arand: thanks for a reply!!! :) (relief!) let me try.
[12:12] <lotus> arand: I might have, how to check?
[12:13] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: Where did you get that line from?
[12:14] <airtonix> lotus, echo HTTP_PROXY
[12:14] <arand> lotus: "echo $HTTP_PROXY"
[12:14] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 does exists
[12:14] <lotus> blank
[12:15] <lotus> $http_proxy is set to localhost:8118 though
[12:15] <airtonix> lotus, did you set it with : export $HTTP_PROX="localhost:8118"
[12:15]  * airtonix means HTTP_PROXY
[12:15] <lotus> thankyou airtonix and arand.  I did not.  But I have clicked "apply system wide" on a proxy config dialog somewhere at some point
[12:16] <arand> lotus: then it's not that at least.. how do you see that aptitude goes through tor? Ah, that $http_proxy might be the issue then..
[12:16] <pat|nG> from the error message
[12:16] <pat|nG> same i did post the pastebin.com link earlier
[12:16] <lotus> I see that it goes through tor because without tor open, it says : fowarding failure [ip <IP_ADDRESS> 8118 ]
[12:17] <lotus> what's the best way to get it to not set that way by default?
[12:18] <locallyremote> arand: thanks :)
[12:19] <locallyremote> something seems to be working. lets see if it continues to work as expected :)
[12:19] <arand> lotus: if you do "export http_proxy=" that will clear that variable.
[12:19] <lotus> arand: did that.  do I need to make a script to do that every time I login?
[12:20] <arand> lotus: I think not, but am not sure.
[12:20] <lotus> thanks I'll find out when I reboot :)
[12:20] <arand> lotus: does it work without tor now?
[12:20] <lotus> yes :)_
[12:22] <arand> lotus: btw, I think another way to clear variables is "unset http_proxy", but it should do the same..
[12:24] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: i think i got the trick to do it but i need ur help i got this http://ae.archive.ubuntu.com thingy...how can i get rid of that ae.? like i would rather use the main archive.ubuntu.com?
[12:24] <lotus> arand: thanks for the help
[12:25] <Sargun> stupid question, what's with all the gvfsd-http processes accessing the interwebs
[12:25] <ne0futur> hi all I uninstalled many games like torcs, flightgear and others, to free space on my disk
[12:25] <ne0futur> but :
[12:26] <Gorlist> hi, having some problems in ubuntu 9.10, after a while im finding my DVB tv signal deteriorates (can take upto 5 minutes), will drop from 100%, holds at 64% then falls off from their. Test in windows and no problems
[12:26] <ne0futur> http://dpaste.com/151564/
[12:26] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[12:26] <ne0futur> apt-get remove dont remove /usr/share/games data ????????
[12:27] <ne0futur> can I safely rm -rf /usr/share/games torcs and others ?
[12:27] <ne0futur> isnt this a apt bug ?
[12:27] <arand> ne0futur: Remove the data packages etc. either through synaptic, or apt-get autoremove
[12:27] <_ruben> ne0futur: use the purge option of apt-get/dpkg
[12:28] <jrib> ne0futur: purge the /right/ package
[12:28] <ne0futur> apt-get purge did nothing
[12:28] <pat|nG> 1: Delete the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists/partial. <---- how to do it? what's the command?
[12:28] <pat|nG> 2: Ensure file /etc/apt/sources.list only points to "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/", not, as Jonathan Harker points out above, sources such as "http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" <---- again how to do it? what's the command?
[12:28] <arand> ne0futur: "remove" with apt-get will only remove the named packages, but not "torcs-data" for example.
[12:28] <arand> ne0futur: but "apt-get autoremove" should do that
[12:29] <ne0futur> apt-get autoremove find nothing to remove
[12:29] <ne0futur> still 1 GB data for games i removed . . .
[12:29] <w3l54666> hey guys, can i create a link-up from mu ubuntu laptop to my m8's windows home server, via the net???
[12:29] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: I'm back. Change it via "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:30] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: tell how to do it bro
[12:30] <pat|nG> hehe
[12:30] <arand> ne0futur: try checking with "dpkg -S /usr/share/games/torcs" to see which package those files belong to.
[12:30] <ne0futur> i ll have to spend 30 mins in dselect to find all the packages and remove them one by one . . . I thought apt was better made . . . never seens this with urpmi . . .
[12:31] <ne0futur> do you think this could be reported as a bug ? or debian guys will say me its normal ?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> explore the other apt tools perhaps.
[12:31] <diipadaapa_> Hi there =) can some one help me with Iptables.. I cannot mess this up, and I am flying blind. I need www + ssh and mysql  only from localhost + bruteforce attack prevention some kind.. This far I have gotten, but before I run it, I could use some confirmation.. =)  script: http://pastebin.com/mc701c0a
[12:31] <_ruben> ne0futur: dpkg --purge any-packages-you-removed
[12:31]  * Dr_Willis missed the initial problem. but knoqws theres a LOT of features to the apt system that get overlooked
[12:32] <ne0futur> thanks , dpkg -S /usr/share/games/torcs will help me save a little time
[12:32] <diipadaapa_> I have one shot at this.. if I shut my self out.. that server is sitting idly for 2 weeks.. o_O
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> why ssh only from localhost? that dosetn make a lot of sence
[12:33] <ne0futur> dpkg --purge torcs did nothing
[12:33] <diipadaapa_> Dr_Willis: no ssh from out side, but mysql only from localhost
[12:33] <Sargun> root@lucifer:~# jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia-185
[12:33] <Sargun> SystemError: installArchives() failed
[12:33] <Sargun> I get that fun little error, any ideas
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> diipadaapa_:  i belive mysql has settings for that to set what ports/ip's to listen to
[12:34] <ne0futur> dpkg --purge flightgear neither
[12:34] <arand> ne0futur: did you only install the "torcs" package when you installed it, normally "torcs-data" is pulled along, but marked as auto-installed and hence can be autoremoved when "torcs" is removed.
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> why not 'sudo apt-get --purge whatever' ?
[12:34] <arand> ne0futur: if you installed those packages specifically they wont be able to autoremove.
[12:35] <ne0futur> Dr_Willis: i do it as root . . . dont need sudo
[12:35] <Myrtti> ne0futur: oh, you've got root. good luck
[12:35]  * Dr_Willis still wonders why dpkg and not apt-get..
[12:35] <ne0futur> ill find them one by one with dpkg -S . . . but really it looks like a bug for me
[12:36] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:36]  * Dr_Willis has missed ne0futur 's original problem.
[12:36] <ne0futur> and furthermore packages are badly named, without dpkg -S i would have never nbeen able to find a package named fgfs-base ( could be named flightgear-data . . . )
[12:37] <Myrtti> ne0futur: apt-cache search flightgear didn't help then?
[12:37] <pat|nG> Myrtti: http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 can u give me the howto do it step by step? how to delete the contents? and change the archive source?
[12:37] <ne0futur> Myrtti: is it bad to use root with ubuntu when managing packages ?
[12:38] <Myrtti> ne0futur: in general, using root in ubuntu to do *anything* is bad.
[12:38] <Myrtti> ne0futur: use sudo.
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> ne0futur:  its best to use sudo as needed like ubuntu is designed.
[12:38] <Stevethepirate> bbl
[12:38] <ne0futur> is it possible apt dont work is using root , not sudo ?
[12:38] <arand> Dr_Willis: has residual stuff in /usr/share/games, albeit having removed the "basenamed" packages, guessing that a lot of *-data *-core etc. is still left, and unable to autoremove for some reason.
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> ne0futur:  it should work the same.
[12:38] <ctford> @Dr_Willis I have a friend whose first command when opening a terminal is "sudo bash"
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> ctford:  i will be nice and just say.. 'thats stupid' :)
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> then again you have to wonder what all one needs to do as 'root' once you get a system set up.. i rarely use sudo for more then an apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade  these days
[12:39] <ctford> @Dr_Willis You use nicer language than I did when I saw him do it
[12:39] <ne0futur> ok apt-get remove fgfs-base freed 400 MB ;) i m better . . . next one
[12:40]  * Dr_Willis thinks theres a reason synaptic was invented
[12:41] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:41] <w3l54666> so can anybody help me out regarding linking my ubuntu laptop to a friends Windows Home Server??
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  clarify what you mean by 'linking'
[12:41] <ManDay> USB Thumb drives fail to automount although AUtomount is enabled in gconf and the device is propery formatted, what could possibly cause that?
[12:41] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: via internet
[12:42] <ne0futur> arand: many thanks for the dpkg -S command, seems to be the only working tool to find and kick game dependencies filling my disk
[12:42] <k0ala> i need some help with the firewall
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  ive noticed automounting 'crashes' for me every so often  i can still manually mount devices.. but i have to log out/back in to get automounting working right again.. siometimes i got to reboot.. not sure whats causiong it
[12:42] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: as he lives a few many miles away from me, and we share documents and such
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  try to be a little bit more specific by what you want to Do  with a 'link' that term means veyr little.
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  He could use winscp to access files on your machine if you wanted.
[12:43] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, I can always mount it manually (as su). Rebooting or logging out never changed anything for me, tho
[12:43] <k0ala> am on karmic and used the network tools to find the open ports. how do i close those open ports?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  odd.  Ive had similer issues since beta.
[12:43] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: ok i wana connect to his home server, for specific files, and if need be, use it as storage, is that possible???
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  dont run any services it dosxent matter if they are open if a service is not listening to them.
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  proberly. but ive never done it that way. You may to ask in #windows for what service to use on windows to set that up. You dont want to do 'samba' over the internet without a ssh tunnle, or vpn proberly
[12:44] <arand> ne0futur: if you did not specifically install the fgfs-base package it *should* be automatically removable via autoremove, hmm... Also I know that aptitude tends to autoremove things automatically where apt-get doesn't, might be worth using instead in future..
[12:44] <k0ala> Dr_Willis, 139, 445 :|
[12:45] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, thanks for the hint then
[12:45] <arand> ne0futur: but as of now sometihng might have marked the '
[12:45] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: ok so what would i need for a ssh tunnel then software wise, on my end of the link???
[12:45] <ne0futur> arand: i just installed torcs and flightgear ( anongst others ) using dselect
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | w3l54666
[12:45] <k0ala> netbios-ssn
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  no idea really. i dont do windows -> linux stuff like that. except on a local lan.
[12:46] <mobi-sheep> w3l54666: 700MB+ media transfers takes forever if you're thinking that.
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> !firewall | k0ala
[12:46] <w3l54666> mobi-sheep: really
[12:46] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:46] <ne0futur> arand: iirc dselect automaticaly selected the data packages needed for the games to work
[12:46] <arand> ne0futur: ...marked the *-data packages as manually installed..
[12:46] <pat|nG> http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 can u give me the howto do it step by step? how to delete the contents? and change the archive source?
[12:46] <w3l54666> mobi-sheep: rekon i could stream from his server then???
[12:46] <ne0futur> ( and should do the same when uninstaling)
[12:47] <k0ala> Dr_Willis, though i have tried both, thanks for the help
[12:47] <mobi-sheep> w3l54666: Really. It goes in and out of ISP interwebs and whatnot.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  My router blocks those from the internet.. so it dosent matter if they are open.. actually they NEED to be open for samba to work on my lan.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  so the fact theya re open with the tools dont matter here.
[12:48] <mobi-sheep> w3l54666: You're better off with external storage media. It is faster and hassle-free.
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> I forget which one is samba.. thats 139 isent it.. whats 445?
[12:48] <k0ala> 139 - netbios-ssn / 445 :microsoft ds
[12:48] <mobi-sheep> Dr_Willis: Microsoft-DS Active Directory, Windows shares
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  wanting to stream video files? he could install 'orb' on his windows box then you could watch videos from anywhere. :0
[12:49] <k0ala> i dont have any windows disk here
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  is your pc behind a router? or directly connected to the internet? its the only machine on the lan?
[12:50] <arand> ne0futur: yea, you could check if they are in fact set to manually installed by using "aptitude show packagename" (There is an automatically installed=yes/no item there)
[12:50] <k0ala> behind a router. (actually the modem also has a builtin router and i got another between it snd the pcs)
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  let some site like shields up scan your network and see aht it sees.. You may be worring about nothing
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> Unless you are worried about the other pc's on the lan haxxoring you
[12:51] <k0ala> i got booted 5-6 times in yahoo today
[12:52] <k0ala> it happened for the first time
[12:52] <k0ala> today
[12:52] <CaneToad> anybody else got broken bluetooth on karmic and jaunty with recent updates?  was working fine for me, now obex won't work
[12:52] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: bro....wat's the command? i mean i like to delete the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists/partial. ?
[12:52] <mobi-sheep> Dr_Willis: You used Orb before? It works well?
[12:53] <k0ala> m using pidgin 2.6.2
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  it 'works' but it dependsx on your connection a great deal
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  it did let the wife watch videos on the Wii. :)
[12:53] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: "sudo rm -rfv /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*"
[12:54] <mobi-sheep> Dr_Willis: Nice. Any linux alternatives? I know VLC is capable of that but meh -- A little hassle.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  orb is radically different from how vlc works. :)
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  no idea on a linux port of it. Proberly isent one
[12:55] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:57] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: bro do i have to change http://archive.ubuntu.com? i mean do i have to change all to http://archive.ubuntu.com?
[12:57] <ne0futur> arand: yes theyre not automatically installed . . . i thought apt was managing dependencies . . . i m really disappointed with this
[12:57] <wejick> Can anyone tell me about readme.diskdefines, and the detail about this thing.
[12:58]  * Dr_Willis has never had issues with apt-get not manageing dependencies
[12:59]  * Urda loves the aptitude way more!
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> i had aptitude remove then reinstall 300mb of  identical files.. once.. for some odd reason. :)
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> still not sure why it did that.. but it reinstalled the oens it had just decided to remove. heh
[13:00] <pat|nG> SUCCES!
[13:00] <pat|nG> i did it!
[13:00] <pat|nG> thanx!
[13:00] <pat|nG> weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[13:02] <pat|nG> http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 <---- for updating error do this steps....it works for me! just did it right now.....everything is fine! thanx to mr. Geoff!  mobi-sheep and Myrtti! and some of the guys here who helped!
[13:02] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: Weeeeee! (Little fake bro)
[13:03] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[13:04] <pat|nG> ManDay : get the audacious2
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> I cant even find any of my music thqt uses fancy characters
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> I got some with Japanses/chionease characters in their names.. but i think audacious worked with them last i tried
[13:05] <mobi-sheep> ManDay: http://tinyurl.com/ybf694j
[13:05] <w3l54666> does ubuntu have a plug and play system??? as i got a USB mouse for lappy???
[13:05] <UK-DONE> Why can't I start my net I get net work unmaged error
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  i plyg in my mouse in my laptop and it works
[13:06] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: hmm mine hasnt
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> check dmesg output.
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> its worked that way for me for Ages and on several laptops
[13:07] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: and what do i look for??
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  any messages at teh bottom qwhen you plug it in
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> plug in.. check dmesg command out put a few times as it 'scans' the usb stuff
[13:08] <mobi-sheep> "lsusb" could works too.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> it 'should' work..
[13:09] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: how do i pastebin summat from terminal??
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> !infp pastebinit
[13:09] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: command wise?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  pastebinit command

[13:09] <mobi-sheep> it 'would' work :)er
[13:09] <nikolam> hello, anyone else also have slow speed when downloading from ppa.launchpad.net or is it only me?
[13:10] <wejick> I need the readme.diskdefines's documentation. i've googled it but I cant found it
[13:10] <ne0futur> arand: yes i ll try to use aptitude and not apt-get or dselect, thanks for the advice
[13:10] <UK-DONE> Why do I get network unmanaged error  ?
[13:11] <mgolisch> UK-DONE: probably because your interface is managed via /etc/network/interfaces file?
[13:11] <ne0futur> thanks all. bye
[13:12] <mgolisch> networkmanager leaves all network interfaces alone that are managed by the system networking initscripts
[13:12] <UK-DONE> mgolisch: But now I cant updae anymore and my net is down
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Ive never used dselect in several years of ubuntu ussage.....
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> I dont even bother with aptitude much any more
[13:13] <UK-DONE>  mgolisch: Any solution for this ? I tried a couple of solutions from forums but couldnt do it properly
[13:13] <w3l54666> did the dmesg output, then what to pastebin it??
[13:15] <nikolam> hello, anyone else also have slow speed when downloading from ppa.launchpad.net or is it only me?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> dmesg | pastebinit
[13:15] <remoteCTRL1> in know this is heavily offtopic but as i dont know where else to ask: i want to configure squid to anonymize http requests, meaning the receiver does not see the ip of the client but the one of squid, does anybody know how to do that?
[13:15] <amouge> hey all.. im only a few month in to running ubuntu full time.. ive had it before.. but never ran it full time like I am now...
[13:16] <amouge> yesterday I started getting random pop ups on pidgin... mostly saying a few random letters and invalid channel or user
[13:16] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: congratulations!
[13:16] <amouge> today I got one that said __ wants to send you to irc.someserver.com#hackerthreads
[13:16] <UK-DONE> Does anyone have a solution for network unmanaged error ?
[13:16] <amouge> i forget what someserver.com was
[13:16] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: configure pidgin not to receive messages from ppl not on your contact list
[13:16] <mobi-sheep> amouge: Spams. Ignore them.
[13:17] <amouge> ok.. they were pidgin notificiations though.. not messages in new tabs
[13:17] <amouge> does that make a difference
[13:17] <remoteCTRL1> UK-DONE: yes: edit nano /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and set managed to true
[13:17] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: afaik not
[13:19] <amouge> thank you.. was worried about being compromised..
[13:20] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: not gonna happen unless you accidentally click accept on such requests
[13:20] <UK-DONE> remoteCTRL1: I need a little bit primer for editing files in Konsole (Yes I have kubuntu) I tried a couple of times but all lines just disappers when I press insert button
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> UK-DONE:  using what text based editor?
[13:21] <remoteCTRL1> UK-DONE: i wrote the command already with nano infront which is the editeor;)
[13:21] <remoteCTRL1> -e
[13:22] <mobi-sheep> amouge: Like that?
[13:22] <UK-DONE> remoteCTRL1: Ok I tried vi to edit the same file but when i clicked insert it kept adding line and all the main code went to the bottom
[13:23] <UK-DONE> Anyways I ll try
[13:23] <remoteCTRL1> UK-DONE: do yourself a favour and use nano as i said;) further put sudo infront otherwise you will not be able to save the file
[13:23] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[13:23] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[13:23] <FloodBot2> NFischer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> if its a removeable disk.. let the auto mount system handle it.. not fstab..
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> is one way
[13:24] <lenswipe> hey guys
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> NFischer:  also give the disk/filsystem a proper 'label' and it should use the label name where it can
[13:25] <mobi-sheep> NFischer: You can make it looks nice (ie "20 GB Filesystem")
[13:25] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[13:26] <B9> hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please?
[13:26] <Justin_`> Quetstion: Will my Microsoft keyboard and mouse work with Ubuntu (Running on USB)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  normal usb keybiorads/mice should work fine
[13:27] <ManDay> yes Justin_`
[13:27] <pat|nG> i'm enjoying ubuntu now!
[13:27] <Justin_`> Will my netgear wireless adapter work fine aswell?
[13:27] <scunizi> Justin_`: unless they are logitec.. then some have issues..
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> depends on the chipset Justin_`
[13:27] <Justin_`> Ah ok.
[13:28] <Justin_`> Damn you guys are really helpful and fast
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Only mouse/keyboard issies ive ever had was with the fancy keys/buttons that i never use anyway
[13:28] <lenswipe> has anyone got any ideas of cool things to do with ubuntu
[13:28] <lenswipe> things  can install over webmin that is
[13:28] <scunizi> Justin_`: that's why we get the big bucks :)
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  over webmin? Huh. whaat does that have to do with anything.
[13:28] <Justin_`> haha :)
[13:28] <Justin_`> How much ram would it use just running the OS?
[13:28] <lenswipe> Dr_Willis: it means i cant use the command line
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  why not?
[13:29] <scunizi> Justin_`: the live cd I think requires 384 to run.. server 256.. but the more the merrier..
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> theres always the synaptic gui...
[13:29] <scunizi> Justin_`: those are minimums
[13:29] <lenswipe> Dr_Willis: because the client side ssh client in webmin requires outbound port 22 to be open, im at college where its blocked.
[13:29] <Justin_`> Do you have to have the CD in to use the OS?
[13:30] <arand> Justin_`: no
[13:30] <Justin_`> Ah ok awesome :)
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  you do realize that webmin is considered a big security risk?  and you can proberly set up ssh to use some other port..
[13:30] <jeke> I am trying to reset my root password with Ubuntu 9.10 i selected recovery mode from the GRUB menu I then get a menu which gives me the option to get a root shell. However this root shell requires a maintenance password. How do I change a forgotten root password?
[13:30] <B9> hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please?
[13:30] <scunizi> Justin_`: but then how you gonna get it?  .. you could download the iso and put it on a usb stick instead of a cd
[13:31] <Justin_`> Yeah I am downloading the ISO, burning it onto a CD then installing it
[13:31] <Justin_`> But I thought you said you need to have the 'live cd' in to use the OS
[13:31] <scunizi> Justin_`: you on a win machine now?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  live cd lets you test or install the os
[13:31] <LjL> !root | jeke
[13:31] <Justin_`> Windows vista atm
[13:31] <arand> jonbo: but if you run the liveCD environment where you boot solely off the CD, then you'll have to keep the CD in of course, but not if you install ubuntu to disk.
[13:32] <Myrtti> jeke: do not try to set one, please.
[13:32] <jeke> I have also forgotten my normal user password
[13:32] <LjL> jeke: add "init=/bin/sh" to your kernel line from the GRUB menu, change password.
[13:32] <jeke> LjL, thanks
[13:33] <scunizi> Justin_`: ok.. the live cd allow you to boot from it.  You'll be able to run the os right from the cd.. it's slower (much) but a good way to test it... also burning the iso is different from data. if your burning software doesn't support iso images. just google for windows iso burner.. when burning do it at the slowest speed possible..
[13:34] <Justin_`> Ahh ok
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> !iso
[13:34] <arand> jonbo: oops, above was meant for Justin_`
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. thers some factoid with a list of burning apps for windwos..  Dr_Willis had ubottu give you a link that might be helpful
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[13:35] <Justin_`> Wouldn't I be able to burn the ISO onto a CD from my windows laptop?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Still not that one. :)
[13:35] <arand> !burniso
[13:35] <Justin_`> then put that into the desktop I want to install it on
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  yes with the right tools
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  or use unetbootin and make a bootable usb flash drive.. it will install faster from that
[13:36] <Justin_`> Ok ill read that help site
[13:37] <bbelt16ag> hey peeps i was  wondering if there is a hotkey app for linux or something built in to ubuntu where i can have keys set to start apps.  print text, change  screens  etc??
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> bbelt16ag:  gnome and compiz has some settings to do that
[13:38] <bbelt16ag> ok
[13:38] <arand> bbelt16ag: there is already a configuration for that in System>pref>keyb. shortc.
[13:38] <bbelt16ag> i see it
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> some of those example tasks  - fall under 'compiz' controlled features also
[13:39] <dp_> so whats the word on fglrx cards in Lucid?
[13:39] <Pici> dp_ : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.4 support/discussion.
[13:39] <arand> bbelt16ag: And also compizconfig-settings-manager has a very general tool for applying all kinds of shortcuts
[13:39] <dp_> Pici: cool
[13:39] <B9> hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please?
[13:40] <arand> bbelt16ag: in case you're compiz of course.
[13:41] <scunizi> B9: LOL.. for some they are activated and they've never seen it.. drives them crazy to turn them off... try ctrl+alt+numlock.. might tbe ctrl+numlock .. it activates the arrow keys in the numeric keypad to act like a mouse
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> B9:  some as in left works.. but not right>
[13:41] <scunizi> or de-activates
[13:42] <bbelt16ag> k thanks
[13:44] <jeke> I am still having problems resetting my password i tried adding init=/bin/sh to the kernel line in grub. I get the error /bin/sh cannot open splash, and then a kernel panic
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> jeke:  the 'rescue/revovery' option dident work from teh grub menus to get to a shell?
[13:44] <jeke> no
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> what did it do then?
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> You may have deeper issues
[13:45] <jeke> if their is no root password can just push enter at the recovery screen menu
[13:45] <jeke> ?
[13:45] <scunizi> yes
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> cant say that i rember off hand jeke  -  I always rember my password
[13:46] <jeke> ok i will try that first
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> a kernel panic - seems to be a sign of a deeper problem
[13:50] <jeke> Could i kernel panic
[13:51] <jeke> Sorry, *Could a kernel panic be caused by another error in the boot process
[13:51] <jeke> such as not being able to enter single user mode
[13:52] <jeke> it boots normally without the init=/bin/sh parameter
[13:52] <jaypur> Myrtti, thx
[13:52] <Kartagis> I am using brasero to burn a CD. sometimes it refuses to burn one unless I reboot the laptop. any ideas?
[13:53] <Kartagis> it always says preparing to burn otherwise
[13:53] <Myrtti> jaypur: np
[13:56] <boli> ola
[13:56] <lenswipe> so does anyone have any ideas?
[13:56] <lenswipe> no?
[13:56] <scunizi> Kartagis: use k3b
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> jeke:  so the whole problem, is you some how frogot your users password?
[13:56] <lenswipe> something cool i can install on ubuntu using webmin
[13:57] <lenswipe> i have no SSH access at college
[13:57] <Slart> lenswipe: can't webmin install regular packages? if you've got the module activated
[13:57] <jeke> yeah
[13:57] <lenswipe> Slart: can it?
[13:57] <lenswipe> Slart: what module is that?
[13:57] <lenswipe> Slart: whats it called?
[13:57] <scunizi> lenswipe: what is it with webmin.. is webmin installed at the school or on your remote machine?
[13:58] <Slart> lenswipe: I vaguely remember it having an apt module
[13:58] <lenswipe> scunizi: webmin is server side - its on my machine, its the only thing the college dont block more or less
[13:58] <Pici> I vaguely remember webmin not being supported here.
[13:58] <lenswipe> Slart: hmm it doesnt have one of tose

[13:58] <B9> hello when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic my keyboard direction arrows stopped working, well all but the left direction arrow... i would appreciate some help fixing
[13:58] <yakimov> eyyyyy
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> so you want to isntall programs you can play over the web browser?
[13:58] <yakimov> ay ak+
[13:58] <FloodBot2> yakimov: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:58] <grey_> hi #ubuntu
[13:59] <lenswipe> Dr_Willis: no, i want to install like servers to do cool stuff without having SSH access
[13:59] <grey_> could someone tell what is the name on unstable ubuntu repository ?
[13:59] <grey_> in debian it is sid
[13:59] <Myrtti> grey_: there is no such thing.
[13:59] <grey_> Myrtti: ok, what is the latest repository then ?
[13:59] <Myrtti> grey_: ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro, but you may want to try lucid.
[13:59] <Myrtti> !lucid | grey_
[13:59] <scunizi> Pici: lenswipe correct.. webmin isn't supported because it changes some file settings that get borked on some upgrades, patches etc.. I think the supported package is ebox or something similar
[14:00] <grey_> Myrtti: where I can read about repository organization ?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  time to check the package manager then I guess..  Theres a few games that are client/server// but you still need the cliekt on your end
[14:00] <grey_> ubottu: thaks
[14:00] <grey_> Myrtti: thanks
[14:00] <scunizi> !webmin

[14:04] <heylouiz> you don't need to defrag
[14:04] <BluesKaj> !defrag
[14:04] <leo> good to know
[14:04] <lideranca> linux the bes ... you dont need defrag
[14:04] <heylouiz> anyone from brazil?
[14:05] <leo> what about check for trouble, like the CHKDSK on ms?
 I am using brasero to burn a CD. sometimes it refuses to burn one unless I reboot the laptop. any ideas?
[14:05] <BluesKaj> !br
[14:05] <lideranca> i'm from brasil
[14:05] <erUSUL> leo: fsck
[14:05] <Kartagis> scunizi, ^^
[14:05] <Justin_`> Are you able to run .sh files on Ubuntu?
[14:05] <Myrtti> leo: fsck is run automatically every so often in boot
[14:05] <Tm_T> Justin_`: sure
[14:05] <heylouiz> thanks
[14:05] <scunizi> leo: it'll do that every 24 boot or 6 mths whichever comes first

[14:05] <leo> excelent
[14:05] <leo> thank you guys

[14:05] <Justin_`> I might need your help soon in installing java (onces I have it installed)
[14:05] <lideranca> ubuntu the best
[14:06] <erUSUL> !java | Justin_`
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> theres rarely a need to defrag the various linux fileysstems,.. 'ubuntu' is an os. :) not a Filesystem
[14:06] <BluesKaj> !ext
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  install the ubuntu-restricted-extras pacakage it should install java and some other parts
[14:06] <Carlis_> I am trying to install ie7 in Ubuntu but I receive this message: Ie7 is not supported on this operating system. How do i fix this issue ?
[14:06] <BluesKaj> !extfs
[14:07] <iceroot> Carlis_: why you want to do something like that?
[14:07] <trijntje> Carlis_, firefox?
[14:07] <scunizi> Kartagis: did you try k3b?
[14:07] <BluesKaj> dumbot
[14:07] <Myrtti> !bot > BluesKaj
[14:07] <iceroot> Carlis_: you dont want IE
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> Carlis_:  err.. give up? i doubt if its doabnle.. theres that ies4linux tool somewhere.. but it only does up to ie6 i think
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> !ie
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> :)
[14:07] <Kartagis> scunizi, no, but it doesn't happen on my desktop
[14:07] <trijntje> haha
[14:07] <Kartagis> scunizi, what could be the difference?
[14:07] <eR> d
[14:08] <BluesKaj> Myrtti, yeah, but this bot is dumber than it should be
[14:08] <eR> dd
[14:08] <scunizi> Kartagis: no idea..
[14:08] <eR> d
[14:08] <eR> d
[14:08] <FloodBot2> eR: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:08] <Diverdude> I have .sh script.How do i make it accesible in the entire system, so that I from an arbitrary folder can execute it by writing e.g. myscript if the scriptname is myscript.sh?
[14:08] <Myrtti> BluesKaj: no, it's exactly as smart as it needs be
[14:08] <BluesKaj> yeah sure
[14:08] <Carlis_> I have installed WorldCast but I can´t insert and image in the text body. To fix this issue is installing ie7 with winetricks.
[14:09] <iceroot> Carlis_: with what browser you cant do it?
[14:09] <shirish_> what is that bluetooth accessory that is used to transfer files from mobile to PC
[14:09] <shirish_> I dont remember the name
[14:09] <Carlis_> ie7
[14:09] <shirish_> !bluetooth
[14:09] <iceroot> Carlis_: cant
[14:10] <erUSUL> Diverdude: pu it somewhere in your path ~/bin/ fo yourself or /usr/local/bin/ if you want it accessible to others
[14:10] <VCoolio> Diverdude: check possible folder with "echo $PATH"
[14:10] <Carlis_> How can I insert an image in text body in WorldCast ?
[14:11] <Diverdude> erUSUL, i cannot just update the path to also point at the folder containing mysctript.sh?
[14:11] <nn-main> Carlis_: are you talking about internet explorer 7?  I use ie6 on linux .. via wine .. need it for some school thing that requires active X
[14:11] <erUSUL> Diverdude: it is easier to use an already present folder.
[14:12] <Diverdude> erUSUL, hmm but if i format my computer i might forget what scripts i have created that lies in that huge folder with all the other scripts....It easier to just remember to backup a folder containing all my selfmade scripts
[14:12] <Carlis_> I was installing ie6 and now I decided to install ie7 and now I receive the message Ie7 doesn´t support this OS
[14:12] <erUSUL> Diverdude: ~/bin/ in your home folder is the weasiest you do not need root
[14:12] <sa_coraima_xula> playboy
[14:13] <scunizi> Carlis_: worldcast is for mass emailing?  with html?  a windows program? wine support in #winehq, windows in ##windows
[14:13] <nn-main> Carlis_: ... lol you cant install them dirrectly into linux ... earch ies4linux  project
[14:13] <erUSUL> Diverdude: use bin in your home folder. your home folder is something you will allways bckup or copy
[14:14] <erUSUL> Diverdude: also /usr/local/bin/ is empty in a fresh install only compiled programs or scripts mad by yourself en up in /usr/local/
[14:14] <sa_coraima_xula> playboy
[14:14] <VCoolio> Diverdude: listen to erUSUL but to add a folder to path: add a line to ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc like "PATH=${PATH}:/yourfolder" and then a line "export PATH"
[14:14] <IdleOne> !es | sa_coraima_xula
[14:15] <Carlis_> is there a #windows channel ?
[14:15] <Myrtti> Carlis_: ##windows
[14:15] <Emanon> god i hope not
[14:15] <scunizi> Carlis_: gave it to you earlier
[14:15] <nn-main> Carlis_: command /join ##windows
[14:15] <Emanon> more like #:
[14:16] <Carlis_> ok thanks
[14:17] <scunizi> Emanon: # works for the windows channel.. but it refers to ##windows
[14:17] <amokpaule> Hello, on ubuntu karmic my mouse is moving from alone to the top of my screen
[14:17] <Emanon> read the name of the symbols i used out load scunizi it will make sense then
[14:17] <smokey> how the new linux mint
[14:17] <Justin_`> 15 mins til the download is done :) :) :)
[14:18] <Pici> smokey: We do not support Linux Mint here. Please use their support channel.
[14:18] <Pici> !mintsupport | smokey
[14:18] <scunizi> Emanon: got it.... careful.. that's treading on the coc some
[14:18] <Emanon> i know hehe
[14:18] <Emanon> but it's windows so it balances out
[14:20] <GutZuWiSSeN> are there any (good) project management  tools for ubuntu?
[14:21] <scunizi> GutZuWiSSeN: what have you tried?
[14:21] <Emanon> yea, quality kind of depends on what you're used to using
[14:21] <amokpaule> Hello, on ubuntu karmic my mouse is moving from alone to the top of my screen
[14:21] <GutZuWiSSeN> scunizi, openproj, planner, ganttproject  ...
[14:21] <capron> GutZuWiSSeN,  maybe check system->Admin
[14:21] <istvan> my friend installed ubuntu inside a windows partition, so he has the ubuntu folder inside the root dir. i'm trying to fix his grub, but i cant get any of the grub commands to find the boot directory with that setup. whats the solution? do i mount that ubuntu folder instead of the paritition?
[14:22] <Ari_Lazarus> Gamers! What are the best games in the repository that are updated on a regular basis?
[14:23] <Emanon> Ari_Lazarus: http://whdb.com/2008/top-25-linux-games-for-2008/
[14:23] <Emanon> thats just one opinion
[14:23] <scunizi> GutZuWiSSeN: check this list.. http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/200904102027568/ProjectManagement.html  planner and ganttproject aren't too bad.. there are also some web based (for your server) CRM programs that also incorporate that feature..
[14:23] <Emanon> theres a ton more but theres also other articles
[14:23] <GutZuWiSSeN> scunizi, thx
[14:24] <Ari_Lazarus> Emanon: Cheers. I've got Freeciv and Battle for Wesnoth. Both epic games. :)
[14:25] <Emanon> i went off games for quite a while (burned out after 10 years on EverQuest) getting back in with simple things like card games anagrams chess and the like
[14:27] <Ari_Lazarus> You could try flash games on Kongregate or Newgrounds. I found out those are handy when you've got a couple minutes instead of hours.
[14:27] <istvan> can anyone help with my grub problem?
[14:27] <amokpaule> Hello, on ubuntu karmic my mouse is moving from alone to the top of my screen
[14:27] <Sacho> Yay wesnoth!
[14:27] <coz_> amokpaule,  quickly or over a period of time?
[14:28] <capron> istvan, ubuntu use grub2 the menu.list is gone
[14:28] <coz_> istvan,  and if no one help here you can try the #grub channel :)
[14:28] <coz_> istvan,  what is the issue...out of curiosity
[14:28] <amokpaule> coz all the time it moves up slow needs about 30 secs from the bottom to the top
[14:28] <IdleOne> istvan: also try #ubuntu-wubi
[14:29] <IdleOne> err nm that
[14:29] <capron> istvan, I dont think I can help you but what is the problem ?
[14:29] <IdleOne> doesn't exist
[14:29] <tininek> i need my mom to think she uses vista, what should I change at the begining? usplash or xplash?
[14:30] <coz_> tininek,  on karmic it would be xsplash..but why try to fool her?
[14:30] <tininek> ok
[14:30] <istvan> the problem is my friend installed ubuntu inside a windows partition (in the root dir there is a 'ubuntu' directory) familiar with this feature? anyhow, his grub is messed up, but i can't get grub to reconfigure itself from a live cd because i can't make it find the boot dir since it isn't in the root of the parition (my theory anyway)
[14:30] <capron> tininek,  Haha think she use vista lol
[14:31] <tininek> i tried to dialogate
[14:31] <tininek> i tried to explain, but too much effort
[14:31] <coz_> tininek,  she isnt bying it :)
[14:31] <tininek> she just wants vista so there she has
[14:31] <tininek> she suspects something i guess
[14:31] <coz_> tininek,   I have switch many clients over to ubuntu  from windows...some with great difficulty until they actually used it
[14:31] <tininek> i just need to change that ubuntu logos
[14:32] <tininek> i know
[14:32] <coz_> tininek,  the white on black one?
[14:32] <coz_> logo
[14:32] <istvan> coz_: capron ^
[14:32] <tininek> I mean the ubuntu logos at the begining
[14:32] <tininek> i didnt know it was xplash
[14:32] <tininek> thanx
[14:33] <coz_> tininek,   /usr/share/images/xsplash
[14:33] <JuJuBee__> I just installed a fres copy of 9.04 on a server and for some reason apache not starting up when I restart the server.
[14:33] <ubuntu> hey  i have a dvd disc its original i want to play it i open it on vlc nothing happens i click on the folder of the dvd i see the files are there
[14:34] <tininek> seems complicated, but i found a tool called TheeMahn’s XSplash Maker
[14:34] <capron> istvan, maybe try out that grub channel, or try reinstall grub in the mbr  on the disk but it might mess up the system even more
[14:34] <erUSUL> !dvd | ubuntu
[14:34] <istvan> capron: ok, thanks
[14:34] <coz_> tininek,   do you have a link to that?
[14:34] <tininek> im seeking
[14:34] <tininek> i found this tool ond ubuntu ultimate edition
[14:35] <tininek> if u find shate coz_
[14:35] <coz_> ah
[14:35] <tininek> share
[14:35] <fixxxermet> My /home is on a separate partition and is encrypted.  After reinstalling ubuntu and choosing NOT to format my /home partition, when I login, my desktop never shows up and my files are not in /home/user.  Do I need to somehow decrypt my home partition?
[14:35] <capron> istvan , I liked this tutorial for grub2 http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html
[14:35] <tininek> coz_: maybe this http://www.themelinux.com/nggallery/page-46/page-2/
[14:36] <Da> Hello
[14:37] <luca__> Hi, I decided to change the system language from italian to english. Ubuntu asked me if I wanted to translate the folders names, I clicked yes but now I have the "old" desktop called "Scrivania" and a new empty desktop (which is the translation). How do I revert this?
[14:37] <noviceTux> Hi all, i have problem with my flash player on firefox, i want to delete it and install it again
[14:37] <noviceTux> any one can guide me?
[14:38] <warriorforgod> noviceTux: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:38] <fogbank> luca__: it would probably be easier to just move your files from the old directory to the new one.
[14:39] <scunizi> noviceTux: what did you install to get flash working in the first place?
[14:39] <fogbank> luca__: and possibly file a bug.
[14:39] <JuJuBee__> Any help with apache?
[14:40] <techrascal> what is the geekiest thing you can do to your ubuntu system?
[14:40] <scunizi> noviceTux: if you installed the package mentioned by warriorforgod *and* you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras then you have 2 different flash packages installed.. they are interfearing with each other.. uninstall the "non-free" version
[14:40] <kain> get my site running using flash
[14:40] <kain> actually it works nicely but was a little pita
[14:40] <fogbank> techrascal: make love to your floppy drive? :P
[14:41] <techrascal> lol....
[14:41] <noviceTux> warriorforgod done , and now when i want to install it again after downloading from adobe site i got this message Erreur : Entre en conflit avec le paquet installé « flashplugin-installer »
[14:41] <techrascal> fogbank: seriously something really hard to do on a linux system
[14:41] <kain> not sure I can link it in there, so :^)
[14:41] <rumpsy> Good antivorus for ubuntu?
[14:41] <Myrtti> rumpsy: not really needed
[14:41] <scunizi> noviceTux: see my post to you above
[14:42] <rumpsy> Myrtti: Okay.
[14:42] <pat|nG> i got a webcam on my laptop...i haven't try to use it on ubuntu coz i don't know where i can find the apps? can anyone tell me?
[14:42] <fogbank> techrascal: I guess that hacking the kernel would rank pretty high on the geek scale.
[14:42] <greedo> My question: If I use the lpr command from a regular ssh client (ie. not using xterm), I get a printout from a IP printer without problems.
[14:42] <erUSUL> pat|nG: install cheese
[14:42] <erUSUL> !info cheese
[14:42] <greedo> But if I am using an xterm and issue the exact same command, a window named "LPR GUI" pops up. The problem with the gui window is that the "OK" button is greyed out and nothing I do seems to allow me to print.
[14:42] <noviceTux> scunizi how to install the non free one?
[14:43] <scunizi> noviceTux: did you already install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[14:43] <noviceTux> not yet
[14:43] <noviceTux> true to say i don't know
[14:43] <scunizi> noviceTux: then don't bother with the non-free version of flash.. just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:43] <BluesKaj> is canonical selling out ?  http://tinyurl.com/yabprov
[14:44] <noviceTux> scunizi doing this
[14:44] <scunizi> BluesKaj: no
[14:44] <Myrtti> BluesKaj: feel free to discuss this at #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:45] <mikey_> where would i go to ask questions about xubuntu?
[14:46] <Tm_T> mikey_: here or #xubuntu (:
[14:46] <coz_> mikey_,  here or  #xubuntu I believe
[14:46] <BluesKaj> yeah Myrtti , there's so much activity in here at the moment
[14:46] <Myrtti> BluesKaj: it's offtopic discussion for this channel.
[14:46] <mikey_> thanks
[14:46] <greedo> any ideas
[14:46] <BluesKaj> Myrtti,  no kidding

[15:03] <novato_br> ?
[15:03] <novato_br> !initialize ubuntu without gui
[15:03] <Emanon> does anyone know of a good graphical config utility for grub in gnome?
[15:03] <mediaprodigy> Question: I use chatzilla for IRC in firefox.  I have a ubuntu-server which I use for streaming music and stuff.. however when I try to transfer files to the server it's extremely slow
[15:03] <Emanon> something similar to kgrubeditor on kde
[15:03] <LjL> !language | novato_br
[15:04] <erUSUL> novato_br: boot into recovery mode ?
[15:04] <Emanon> mediaprodigy: i like the irc client in pidgin myself
[15:04] <theadmin> novato_br: Try removing the "gdm" file out of /etc/init.d, but back it up first.
[15:05] <arand> !tty | novato_br
[15:05] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: someone else recommended pidgin.. will take a look at it.
[15:05] <Justin_`> Dose it normally take along time for Ubuntu to load in 'live mode'?
[15:05] <arand> novato_br: switching to a tty and thewn stopping gdm might be an option?
[15:05] <Emanon> sometimes Justin_`
[15:05] <Yoshio> Justin_`: depends on your computer
[15:05] <theadmin> Justin_`: Well, all is depending on your CD drive speed.
[15:05] <Myrtti> Justin_`: depends mostly on the speed of your cd drive
[15:05] <Justin_`> I burnt it at the max
[15:05] <Myrtti> Justin_`: the reading speed
[15:05] <Justin_`> Doing another CD now at 4x
[15:06] <theadmin> Justin_`: THAT is a bad idea. Do it at slowest speed.
[15:06] <Emanon> i havent found that to be a problem Justin_` but sometimes it can be i hear
[15:06] <Justin_`> Ok, Ill try putting it into my other CD drive (faster)
[15:06] <novato_br> arand, I can't stop gdm
[15:06] <novato_br> when I try it shows message error
[15:07] <Emanon> http://sourceforge.net/projects/billix/ is kinda cool
[15:07] <mediaprodigy> Ubuntu: I am new to this OS but I must say the software download center is one of the coolest parts of Ubuntu!
[15:07] <novato_br> it doesn't wokr
[15:07] <arand> novato_br: what error?
[15:08] <Emanon> thanks mediaprodigy i prefer the full synaptic but media center is kinda cool
[15:08] <novato_br> gdm failed stopping command
[15:08] <theadmin> Meh, software center is kinda weird
[15:08] <Emanon> ubuntu-tweak isnt bad either
[15:08] <novato_br> something like that
[15:08] <Daisy_Diddle> hello
[15:08] <theadmin> Hi, Daisy_Diddle
[15:08] <Yoshio> I have massive problems running ubuntu on my AMD 3200+ with Geforce 6800GT. when i surf on the net I have massive lag on almost any site
[15:08] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: theadmin: do you recommend something better..
[15:08] <Emanon> hello Daisy_Diddle
[15:08] <Daisy_Diddle> I came her to ask for help with C++ #define
[15:08] <theadmin> mediaprodigy: Synaptic ^_^
[15:09] <mediaprodigy> theadmin: :) thanks
[15:09] <alberane>  /msg NickServ identify <password>
[15:09] <boomernang> Yoshio, what video card drivers do you have installed?
[15:09] <Emanon> i like synaptic mediaprodigy although ubuntu tweak's installation options are nice
[15:09] <alberane>  /msg NickServ identify 123456

[15:09] <LjL> !identify > alberane    (alberane, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:09] <jenda_> I have trouble connecting to the internet from one machine. Can anyone help me compare the ifconfig -a output of this machine (not working): http://pastebin.com/m58d1f2af and this one (working) http://pastebin.com/m35ce2420 ? The issue is unrelated to the OS, however, as the connection fails under Windows 7 as well. Is this likely a cable issue, or a NIC issue, or anything else? Both of those components are brand new, however.
[15:09] <Yoshio> boomernang: Nvidia 185 i belive
[15:10] <Daisy_Diddle> can anyone help me write definition like this: #define slot( v_name, ... ) ? with unknown count of parameters?
[15:10] <Yoshio> boomernang: it's really painfull to use
[15:10] <arand> Daisy_Diddle: I would suggest a C-dedicated channel, I think there is #c or #c++
[15:10] <theadmin> Daisy_Diddle: This looks like something C++ related... I'd say it's not exactly Ubuntu stuff
[15:11] <boomernang> Yoshio, what is the output of this command 'glxinfo | grep dir
[15:11] <Daisy_Diddle> well, ok :P I don't like u ^^
[15:11] <LjL> jenda_: dunno... but i must say i didn't know you could have something as interrupt number 251
[15:11] <Emanon> :-)
[15:11] <Yoshio> boomernang: direct rendering: Yes GL_EXT_direct_state_access, GL_EXT_draw_range_elements, GL_EXT_fog_coord
[15:11] <jenda_> LjL: and what does that mean? :)
[15:12] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: theadmin: I just realized that I think I am using Synaptic as I am running ubuntustudio
[15:12] <LjL> jenda_: i don't know :(
[15:12] <erUSUL> jenda_: RX packets:4422 errors:1579 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1579 a lot of errors ?
[15:12] <boomernang> Yoshio, so what kind of lag do you experience on websites? is it bad when you scroll down fast?
[15:12] <theadmin> mediaprodigy: It should be under System -> Admininstration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[15:13] <Yoshio> boomernang: yeah and it's not only flash sites that are "slow"
[15:13] <erUSUL> jenda_: dunno whay again; what are the nic chip on the bad machine ? is same cable/router etc?
[15:13] <noellen> msg NickServ identify brucata87
[15:13] <LjL> !identify > noellen    (noellen, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:13] <jenda_> erUSUL: it's an NVidia nForce 10/100/1000 integrated, I think.
[15:13] <theadmin> noellen: You forgot the slash :/
[15:13] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: theadmin: Yes i have it .. but I must admit I do not know how to use it.. as I have been using add/remove applications and do not really understand the difference.. will have to do some reading on this.
[15:13] <jenda_> erUSUL: on an M4N82 ASUS motherboard.
[15:13] <Emanon> oh btw for all you 64 bit ubuntu (and derivitives) users youl like this http://vadi-blog.com/2009/02/26/howto-upgrade-alpha-version-of-64bit-flash-to-latest-version/
[15:14] <boomernang> Yoshio, glxinfo | grep "server glx vendor"?
[15:14] <Justin_`> be right back
[15:14] <Justin_`> rebooting laptop
[15:14] <Emanon> alot nicer than the 32 bit plugin through nsplugins
[15:14] <jenda_> erUSUL: otherwise, I just connected it with a cable that arrived today, and I think the problems were there even with the old cable (or, might have been different problems, lemme check that)
[15:15] <jenda_> the rest of the network is working for other machines.
[15:15] <jenda_> (switch, router etc.)
[15:15] <erUSUL> jenda_: well nforce nic are not know for stellar performance/reliability in linux but anyway really dunno what may be the problem would be nice if you could try a cheap pci nic card

[15:15] <root> WHY？

[15:16] <noviceTux> scunizi i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but i still have the same problem
[15:17] <Urda> ？<->? hehe cool
[15:17] <theadmin> noviceTux: What is the problem, actually?  I have had this problem for like 1 year :)
[15:18] <ymioll> is there a way to store everything i type in the command line interface in a text file?
[15:18] <Yoshio> boomernang: yes opera works much better than firefox
[15:18] <noviceTux> it's installed
[15:18] <intgr> Hi, the Ubuntu Server 9.10 base installation does not include a powernow-k8 kernel module; any ideas where I could find it?
[15:19] <boomernang> Yoshio, does flash lag in opera?
[15:19] <noviceTux> but i still have problem with reading flash videos
[15:19] <Yoshio> boomernang: abit but not nearly as much as in firefox
[15:19] <ouyes> hi i use gparted tool to make partitions on my usb external hd, but i can not creat or copy a file in the ext4 partition, the permission is root .how can i change it so that anybody can access to it freely
[15:19] <noviceTux> i wanted to download it from adobe site but when i open it with synaptic i got this message Erreur : Entre en conflit avec le paquet installé « flashplugin-installer »
[15:19] <cmp> hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:19] <erUSUL> !addingfs | ouyes
[15:20] <ymioll> is there a way to store everything i type in the command line interface in a text file?
[15:20] <boomernang> Yoshio, what about on live cd - just to cancel out your hard drive as the problem... does it lag in live mode?
[15:20] <ouyes> does anybody know how to change the permission so that anyone can access that partition
[15:20] <jklabnsdfg> could someone please tell me how to restore the volume control (little symbol in the task bar) in 9.10? I have unfortunately deleted it :-(
[15:20] <Yoshio> boomernang: from what i remember the live cd did actually work much better
[15:20] <LjL> ymioll: the last 20 or so are stored automatically in the text file ~/.bash_history
[15:21] <ymioll> LjL, thank yoiu so much
[15:21] <cmp>  hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:21] <Raverix> Hello
[15:21] <theadmin> ouyes: chmod 777 Filename
[15:21] <ouyes> erUSUL,  why this, it is ok for ntfs, i have full permission for the ntfs partition why not the ext4 partition. how to solve this issue?
[15:22] <joseLu> Olaa
[15:22] <Yoshio> boomernang: because now using firefox is almost unusable
[15:22] <cmp> hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:22] <erUSUL> ouyes: the reason is in the factoid. ntfas is not native unix permissions are faked and as such can be faked to anything we want at mount time. not so for ext4
[15:22] <Raverix> I'm relatively new to Linux, and I'm trying to setup a VNC connection to my Ubuntu box. I've followed the instructions here: http://www.ehow.com/how_5089245_install-vnc-server-ubuntu.html, and have Chicken of the VNC client installed on my Mac.
[15:23] <boomernang> Yoshio, it's that bad? have you tried re-installing it?
[15:23] <Raverix> when I connect to the VNC server, all I get is a gray screen with an X Cursor.
[15:23] <Raverix> Any suggestions?
[15:23] <jenda_> erUSUL: it's similar under Windows 7 with official drivers, and it's the same with another cable ( http://pastebin.com/m48fbb9a8 )
[15:23] <arand> Yoshio: if you create a new profile using "firefox -P" does it make any difference?
[15:24] <LjL> jenda_: have you tried putting it in a different PCI slot by any chance?
[15:24] <cmp> hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:24] <jenda_> LjL: I don't want to open the box
[15:25] <Tommy899> can someone help me, I have some files like this footer.php~ what are they?
[15:25] <candy> #kubuntu
[15:25] <theadmin> Tommy899: Backups left by editors
[15:25] <Yoshio> arand: nope
, hey
[15:25] <Tommy899> I can not delete them
[15:25] <Yoshio> boomernang: maybe there is something wrong with my harddrive since it's kinda old
[15:25] <cmp> candy, hi
[15:26] <phirestalker> does anyone know of a media player that is statically linked and will not use temp space or save history?
[15:26] <cmp> candy, can you tell me how to disable the keyring?
[15:27] <boomernang> Yoshio, i don't think it's that bad.. you just need to do the annoying work of trial and error.. you know opera works abit better..  so try another browser that is basically the same as firefox like konqueror or something
[15:28] <boomernang> Yoshio, and then you can work out what is going on...  did you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? or still on 9.04?
[15:28] <arand> Yoshio: Yes, I've experienced very sluggish FF if I keep the profile on a usb stick as opposed to on the HD, which makes a tremendous difference, so poor disk performance is definitely a possible cause. If that is the problem in question, no idea..
[15:28] <Stefan91> todor
[15:28] <hwilde> cmp, I don't think yo uwant to do that, but... sudo apt-get remove gnome-keyring       warning it will probably break stuff
[15:28] <Yoshio> arand: ok thx m8
[15:28] <Stefan91> todor
[15:29] <earthen> Hey guys I just did some updates after a few weeks of not doing any and for some reason now I have no sound and my wireless has disappeared! Any Idea's
[15:29] <Tommy899> I have a file on my server I can save an edit and it doesnt actually update an save the new content? any ideas?
[15:29] <theadmin> Tommy899: Use this to delete all of them in a certain folder: "rm -rf *~ && rm -rf .*~"
[15:29] <cmp> hwilde, it pops up every time i start my system . and it asks me for a password - and do put my password and it doesnt work - i keep pressing ESC many times untill it goes - so what is it for and how can i stop it ....??????

[15:30] <ouyes> erUSUL,  anyway how to solve the problem, because i really need this right now
[15:30] <erUSUL> ouyes: make some folders with sudo change the owner to you. you will be able to writte in those folders
[15:31] <arand> cmp: The settings for keyrings are in Applications>Accessories>Passw. & Encr. Keys

[15:38] <mikeg3> I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 9.10.  I get a white pulsating ubuntu logo, then the monitor goes to sleep.  I am 99% sure that the reason for the failure is that I need the restricted nVidia drivers for my 6150se nforce 430, but how can I get the drivers if I can't see the screen?
[15:38] <arand> grubnoob: and 8.10 is still installed somewhere (although unable to boot at the moment)?
[15:38] <grubnoob> It only stopped working after I restore the root directory from backup.tgz

[15:41] <Myrtti> !java | aaronorosen2
[15:41] <erUSUL> jenda_: well if it does not work in win7 you can certainly just retrun the Motherboard
[15:41] <llutz> aaronorosen2: java jdk
[15:41] <arand> grubnoob: it may be that the secondary stages of the bootloader has changed position on the disk, hence the mbr points to the wrong direction. These command will only overwrite the 466bytes of the mbr.
[15:41] <pirata> my name is paul
[15:41] <pirata> you
[15:42] <jenda_> erUSUL: would have to return the machine, as it was bought whole. I'll have to think about whether its worth it :D

[16:08] <llutz> !de | admin603
[16:09] <ner0x> Are there any known hylafax errors regarding killtime?

[16:12] <bertiebaggio> Hi all. Can someone point me to a good, easy to understand tutorial on iptables, for the purposes of turning a PC into a router?
[16:12] <nubie> trying to learn linux, have a 2x500GB RAID 1 setup, anyone mind giving me an idea for what a good and simple partition might look like?
[16:12] <Pici> b1gjo3fr0: or figlet

[16:13] <mikeg3> Hi everyone.  I can't seem to install Ubuntu 9.1 to a separate partition on my Windows Vista box.
[16:13] <danub> oh well, back to KDE I guess
[16:13] <danub> exiit
[16:13] <grubnoob> Where would I find the stage1 and stage2 counterparts on the Live CD?
[16:14] <Audible> hmm, more 32bit libs should be added in lib32a
[16:14] <ymioll> how can i find a file in my computer?
[16:15] <ymioll> if i use `find` it does not find it
[16:15] <steffan> !locate | ymioll
[16:15] <llutz> ymioll: find /path/ -iname name
[16:15] <arand> grubnoob: I don't know, but to restore them the best way would probably be reinstalling grub.
[16:15] <jandro> Hi, I just got a lcd monitor that works fine via DVI once gdm starts but, what's the way to configure it for the tty's? cheers
[16:16] <grubnoob> arand: How do I do that?
[16:16] <ymioll> llutz, how do you tell it to search EVERYTHING?
[16:16] <llutz> ymioll: find /path/ -type f
[16:17] <llutz> ymioll:or a file called "everything"?  find /path/ -iname everything
[16:17] <arand> !grub | grubnoob
[16:17] <woodyjlw> KrisKo,  ahh that link you sent me might have fixed it for me I will reboot and see
[16:18] <RalphSpencer> Hi.. How to make ubuntu 9.10 visible on LAN?
[16:18] <llutz> RalphSpencer: connect lan-cable
[16:18] <Sargun> Ubuntu uses network-manager, right
[16:18] <RalphSpencer> I'm not that dumb
[16:19] <RalphSpencer> Sargun, yea
[16:19] <llutz> RalphSpencer: your question is
[16:20] <RalphSpencer> Well, when it had XP my IPMSG program would detect all other computers, now it wont.
[16:20] <JuJuBee> I cant get apache2 to start up automagically on reboot
[16:20] <ymioll> llutz, i don't know what the /path/ is
[16:20] <ymioll> i jsut want to search the whole computer
[16:20] <llutz> ymioll:or a file called "everything"?  find / -iname everything
[16:20] <ymioll> no no
[16:20] <ymioll> \not a file called everything
[16:20] <andrea_> ciao
[16:20] <ymioll> llutz, just search the whole computer
[16:20] <jellow> RalphSpencer: can you ping it from another host on your network?
[16:20] <llutz> ymioll: search for WHAT?
[16:21] <llutz> ymioll:sudo ls -lRa /             would show "everything"
[16:21] <ymioll> search for .login file
[16:21] <arand> grubnoob: first mount sda1 as /media/something , and then run the grub-install with --root-directory=/media/something and /dev/sda as the "mbr location"
[16:21] <llutz> ymioll: find / -name .login
[16:21] <RalphSpencer> i dont know ... this is a residential lan for sharing movies etc .. would have to call someone up at 3 AM ROFL
[16:22] <RalphSpencer> any other way?
[16:22] <jellow> RalphSpencer: anyone else connected tot eh network?
[16:22] <RalphSpencer> yea .. 30+ ppl
[16:23] <llutz> RalphSpencer: have you blocked ICMP?
[16:23] <afink> I'm having major trouble with the usb-creator program on 9.10.  The workaround for the dbus bug worked the first time but now it is no longer working.  Anyone got some tips?
[16:23] <RalphSpencer> ICMP?
[16:24] <RalphSpencer> what is ICMP ?
[16:25] <llutz> RalphSpencer:a protocol, but sorry, ipmsg seems to be something diffrent as i thought
[16:25] <RalphSpencer> shouldn't hurt trying to enable that anyway .. how to do that?
[16:25] <afink> RalphSpencer: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ICMP
[16:26] <om26er> what is 'people nearby' in empathy?
[16:26]  * Sargun is seeing really bad speeds on his wireless stuff - I moved over from Gentoo
[16:26] <Sargun> any ideas what could cause a drop for 2 mbit to 200 kbitsec?
[16:26] <superpie> k so im looking for something that will put a web page on my desktop as a widget or something similar
[16:27] <om26er> Sargun, I think it not ubuntu problem rather you network?
[16:27] <jellow> Sargun: traffic shaping ?
[16:28] <FeiRuoWa> om26er, people near you also using the service
[16:28] <Sargun> om26er, I had gentoo installed on this laptop yesterday, I was getting speeds of about 2 mbit/sec reliably over the WiFi service.
[16:28] <iAmerikan> Sargun: are there any other computers on your network
[16:28] <woodyjlw> KrisKo,  it is strange. grub comes up with countdown to choose OS and num loc is on for that but soon as it chooses to go to ubuntu it kills num lock
[16:28] <Sargun> iAmerikan, None on the WiFi network
[16:29] <iAmerikan> what about the wired?
[16:29] <iAmerikan> Sargun: what about the wired?
[16:29] <Sargun> iAmerikan, the computer I'm talking to... and a few others. If my network was a one computer network, don't you think that would be kind of pointless?
[16:29] <woodyjlw> I turned num lock off in bios with same results
[16:29] <grubnoob> !grub
[16:30] <woodyjlw> its not a huge deal I will just get use to it
[16:30] <RalphSpencer> any program that can list all the computers on the network?
[16:31] <warriorforgod> RalphSpencer: You should be able to look on your router, or dhcp server to see all clients with active dhcp connections.  Otherwise you can use something like nmap.
[16:32] <KrisKo> woodyjlw: you've also edited /etc/gdm/Init/Default, and added those 3 line before exit 0?
[16:32] <maxjezy> hello, just installed ubuntu with wubi, anyone know how i make the channel sign?
[16:32] <Lungan_> Why doesn't my shared folder shows up on networks? All windowscomputers on the networks shows, but not the ones using ubuntu
[16:32] <maxjezy> i just get £
[16:32] <maxjezy> not the square
[16:33] <bertiebaggio> Hi all. Can someone point me to a good, easy to understand tutorial on iptables, for the purposes of turning a PC into a router?
[16:33] <bertiebaggio> whoops
[16:33] <bertiebaggio> wrong keyboard
[16:33] <bertiebaggio> sorry
[16:33] <JuJuBee> RalphSpencer: if you run nmap -v <IP_ADDRESS>/24  or whatever your network ID is, it will show you all machines (that are on) and ports that are open
[16:34] <bertiebaggio> is it just me or is firestarter very tempermental at sharing an internet connection?
[16:34] <RalphSpencer> <IP_ADDRESS>/255 is valid too, right?
[16:35] <superpie> no such widget? :(
[16:35] <RalphSpencer> JuJuBee, <IP_ADDRESS>/255 is valid too, right?
[16:35] <JuJuBee> RalphSpencer: nmap -v <IP_ADDRESS>/24  (if your subnet mask is <IP_ADDRESS>)
[16:36] <KrisKo> woodyjlw: note: numlockx has to be installed on your system, try out in console: "numlockx on" "numlock off" > does it switch numlock on/off?
[16:36] <RalphSpencer> yea and how to set lan ip and subnet mask in ubuntu?
[16:36] <llutz> RalphSpencer: ifconfig
[16:36] <Masa> yes
[16:36] <KrisKo> woodyjlw: correction: "numlockx off"
[16:36] <hiexpo> morning eveyone
[16:36] <RalphSpencer> care to give the exact command
[16:37] <llutz> RalphSpencer: ifconfig <iface> <ip> netmask 255.255.x.y     depending on your setup
[16:37] <jellow> RalphSpencer: Are you trying to recive IPMSGS from a win box ?
[16:37] <RalphSpencer> am being too dumb but what is iface?
[16:37] <RalphSpencer> jellow, yes
[16:38] <jellow> RalphSpencer: IPMSGS is not compatible
[16:38] <llutz> RalphSpencer: you network-interface (wlan0, eth0, ethX, ppp0)
[16:38] <llutz> your
[16:39] <jellow> RalphSpencer: linux cannot use IPMSG , It not a network issue
[16:39] <Masa> Buenas!
[16:39] <woodyjlw> O can do the numlockx on . or numlockx off and it just drops to next line with no error
[16:39] <woodyjlw> right now I have it on I guess

[16:48] <tripps> starting a few months ago, I could no longer stay connected to starbuck's wifi service, i.g., attwifi. Other waps are no problem at all. using bcm43 card/drivers. iwevent just shows it trying to associate, then stays connected for a couple minutes then going back to scanning
[16:48] <tripps> ideas?
[16:48] <jandro> Hi, I just got a lcd monitor connected via DVI to my laptop that works fine in the X once it's enabled in nvidia-settings, but once I switch to the tty's the monitor goes to sleep mode. What's the way to go to configure it for the tty's? I don't manage to find anything related in google.thanks
[16:48] <jellow> RalphSpencer: not very nice but windows in virtual box
[16:48] <kellopes> Oasa: the option through terminal is easy to use? because i cant find the gui
[16:48] <DuCkNeT> anyone know if i could be able to run compiz with Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500MHD ??????
[16:49] <Oasa> its easy to use.
[16:49] <Masa> yes
[16:49] <Oasa> but if you are unsure you will endup doing someting wrong
[16:49] <Oasa> you can install gparted
[16:49] <Oasa> sudo apt-get install gparted
[16:49] <KrisKo> DuCkNeT: i have x3100, no poblems with compiz
[16:49] <Pici> !who

[16:50] <MasBlaMan> anybody using umtsmon?
[16:50] <Masa> yes
[16:50] <kellopes> Oasa: it said that it is a invalid operation
[16:50] <Oasa> KELLOPES : sudo apt-get install gparted

[16:51] <DuCkNeT> krisko: thanks
[16:51] <Masa> you're right
[16:51] <sayanriju> ymioll, add date to your ~/.bashrc
[16:52] <kellopes> oasa: is there something i need to be cautious about while parting?
[16:52] <maxjezy> is it possible to upgrade to 9.10 when installed on C: with wubi
[16:52] <maxjezy> ?
[16:53] <MasBlaMan> cr0mulent: er its hard to say since new usb sticks dont say what chip there are using
[16:53] <maxjezy> if you got a netbook, make sure you got battery
[16:53] <Masa> yes
[16:53] <cr0mulent> MasBlaMan: is there a certain brand that works/
[16:53] <Myrtti> maxjezy: if you like your ubuntu enough to upgrade it, why don't you install it properly to the disk?
[16:53] <maxjezy> Myrtti, dont got a usb memory yet.
[16:54] <MasBlaMan> cr0mulent: some times even a revision of the same model changes the chip
[16:54] <Jeruvy> maxjezy: it should but given that upgrades can be troublesome normally, I'd either install it fresh using wubi or do a normal install (dual boot).
[16:54] <maxjezy> need to get me one, i on a netbook without cd
[16:54] <maxjezy> Jeruvy, wubi 9.10 is not working
[16:54] <ttye0> Does anyone know of something that will allow me to use my touchpad more like a tablet input system rather than a standard mouse?
[16:54] <maxjezy> bad meta link
[16:54] <Justin_`> Is there any way I can login to Ubuntu without the password (I forgot what i put in)
[16:54] <Oasa> kellopes : Ofcourse you have to be cautious. because at the end you might end up deleting the whole partition table
[16:55] <hiexpo> Myrtti, - no kidding i have noticed that most of the issues people have is due to installation /  good morning
[16:55] <Oasa> But you can always experiment with gparted. Untill you press APPLY no changes will be applied.
[16:55] <Masa> Yes, use Konboot
[16:55] <Jeruvy> maxjezy: ah well you could also wait until it's fixed or for lucid.  Is there something about jaunty that is requiring you to upgrade?
[16:55] <earthen> can some one help me? I've installed some updates and now my wireless no longer works
[16:55] <kellopes> oasa.. thanks.. i will try later.. i need to go for lunch now..
[16:55] <Justin_`> How do I use Konboot?
[16:55] <maxjezy> Jeruvy,  not really actually, just the network manager do
[16:55] <maxjezy> i need it
[16:55] <maxjezy> for mobile connection
[16:55] <Masa> Download konboot a booting de Cd
[16:56] <maxjezy> oh, no i just did see that 9.04 got it
[16:56] <Oasa> okay kellopes
[16:56] <warriorforgod> Justin_`: Just boot to it.  It only works on 32 bit systems thoug.
[16:56] <maxjezy> i did use 8.04 before
[16:56] <warriorforgod> *though
[16:57] <Jeruvy> maxjezy: well if you do upgrade, make sure you backup your disk (wubi install) first, and make sure you have enough free space.
[16:57] <Justin_`> I am running 32
[16:57] <MasBlaMan> maxjezy: what kind of "mobile" connect?
[16:57] <Justin_`> Kon-Boot Windows&Linux fine?
[16:57] <Oasa> !konboot | Oasa
[16:57] <Oasa> what is kon-boot ?
[16:57] <maxjezy> MasBlaMan, the usb network connection modem
[16:58] <Masa> http://www.megaviload.com/home/63-seguridad/2357-konboot-ingresa-a-cualquier-equipo-sin-la-pass
[16:58] <maxjezy> mobile broadband
[16:58] <MasBlaMan> maxjezy: you can use wvdial so you can change NM if you want
[16:59] <Masa> or    http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/
[16:59] <maxjezy> MasBlaMan, i will test if this work later, if not i get wv dial
