[01:27] <C-{pR0F> user1_: IS that a good/bad news?
[01:27] <Desp_> I have installed cluster manager socket then I get error when I install other programs as numlockx and calamav
[01:27] <user1_> what do you think
[01:28] <Desp_> I removed manager socket but I still get error
[01:28] <gnuskewl> Junecy , ok there may be a way round hang on
[01:28] <Desp_> this is the last error log i got Jul 24 13:25:56 rebellcorner ccsd[4095] : Unable to connect to cluster infrastructure after 3150 seconds.
[01:28] <Desp_> how can I remove it completly
[01:28] <C-{pR0F> user1_: that message shouldn't have apperead by default , right? , but as i'm the one , it appeared , and i will have no problem ,,,, is that right ?
[01:29] <IdleOne> unix4me, sorry I cant seem to figure it out
[01:29] <user1_> C-{pR0F, what problem do you have
[01:30] <unix4me> IdleOne: It's Ok. I'm searching with the international keyboards.
[01:30] <C-{pR0F> user1_:till now nothing
[01:30] <gnuskewl> Junecy, what kernel u use?
[01:30] <C-{pR0F> user1_: but i want to ask another thing  ... now i've upgraded dapper->edgy->fiesty , and i have the dapper cd , and i also have another latptop with dapper installed and it has no internet connection , can i write the upgrade from this computer to a dvd/cd , and install it on the laptop
[01:30] <user1_> C-{pR0F, so you are fine

[01:31] <Desp_> any ideas please
[01:31] <daren> Hi
[01:32] <daren> howto remove firefox without removing ubuntu-desktop ? (apt-get wants to remove ubuntu-deskopt when I try to remove firefox)
[01:32] <daedra> daren: ubuntu-desktop is dependant on firefox - it can't operate without it
[01:33] <daren> daedra: But my firefox is totaly broken, i want to reinstall it
[01:33] <daedra> daw
[01:33] <Desp_> Jul 24 13:33:05 rebellcorner ccsd[4095] : Unable to connect to cluster infrastructure after 3570 seconds.
[01:33] <jatt> daren: you can remove ubuntu-desktop without problems
[01:33] <daren> daedra: I cant go to any page with firefox, it exits directly without any error
[01:33] <daedra> daren:  do that then
[01:33] <daren> jatt yes ?
[01:33] <jatt> daren: yes. It is safe to remove ubuntu-desktop
[01:33] <daedra> lol
[01:35] <jatt> !lol
[01:35] <IdleOne> jatt, yes it is . ubuntu-desktop is a meta package and safe to remove
[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <jatt> IdleOne: that's what I am saying. ubuntu-desktop can be removed without problems.
[01:35] <daedra> !metapackage
[01:35] <ubotu> A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions.
[01:35] <Junecy> gnuskewl: any luck?
[01:35] <Desp_> E: clvm: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3
[01:35] <Desp_> E: redhat-cluster-suite: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[01:35] <Desp_> E: system-config-cluster: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[01:35] <daedra> hmm
[01:36] <C-{pR0F> daedra:  i've upgraded dapper->edgy->fiesty , and i have the dapper cd , and i also have another latptop with dapper installed and it has no internet connection , can i write the upgrade from this computer to a dvd/cd , and install it on the laptop
[01:36] <gnuskewl> Junecy,  im reading rom the kernel so im just looking through the source tree now need info f command , but
[01:36] <IdleOne> !!cloning  | C-{pR0F
[01:36] <ubotu> C-{pR0F: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[01:37] <C-{pR0F> IdleOne: BUT THE upgrade have about 1400 package , where will i find them ,,, ???
[01:37] <gnuskewl> Junecy, sorry, Swedish keyboard ;;;;;;; im looking in the devices.txt of your kernl number for info to use that command
[01:37] <C-{pR0F> does the aptoncd copies the upgrade ?IdleOne
[01:38] <Junecy> ok
[01:38] <IdleOne> C-{pR0F, need to put the laptop on the net or you can go to packages.ubuntu.com and download all the packages put them on a cd then install to the other machine

[01:57] <EvilDin> how can i keep ubuntu-minimal, but still installing syslog-ng
[02:02] <blackbird> any one own a PSP here??
[02:03] <daedra> hey I want to set "tarc" as an alias for tar cjvf in my .bashrc file
[02:03] <daedra> how would I do it?
[02:03] <Frogzoo> daedra: put it in ~/.bash_aliases & just copy the existing examples
[02:04] <daedra> Frogzoo: there is no existing .bash_aliases
[02:04] <daedra> I've tried this: tarc () { tar cjvf $1.tar.bz2 $1 }
[02:05] <daedra> but it produces .tar.bz2 and I want filename.tar.bz2
[02:06] <Janimaku> hallo @all
[02:06] <bullgard4> What does the interjection 'argl' mean? (as in http://www.rocklinux.net/irclog/rocklinux.log.20030428.html)
[02:06] <blackbird> any one own a PSP here??
[02:06] <filthpig> !hi | Janimaku
[02:06] <ubotu> Janimaku: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:06] <DarthShrine> blackbird, Yes, why?
[02:06] <Frogzoo> daedra: echo "alias tarc='tar cjzf'"  > ~/.bash_aliases
[02:06] <blackbird> darthshrine, i would like to encode full res videos for it...480x272 but i cant seem to do so
[02:06] <Janimaku> has anyone experience with canon and printing labels under Ubuntu?
[02:06] <filthpig> bullgard4, dunno, but it sound like someone has been hit on the back with a steel rod ^^
[02:07] <DarthShrine> blackbird, Ah, I haven't done anything with mencoder for a long time... Sorry.
[02:07] <blackbird> DarthShrine, no problem
[02:07] <bullgard4> filthpig: hm.
[02:07] <daedra> Frogzoo: ok I'll try it, but I can see it not working
[02:07] <Frogzoo> daedra: echo "alias tarc='tar cjvf'"  > ~/.bash_aliases
[02:07] <Myrtti> man mencoder ;-)
[02:07] <daedra> Frogzoo: it needs an output filename or it will produce .tar.bz2
[02:07] <blackbird> DarthShrine, see this app in windows called pmp simple converter converts vids for psp in PMP format and it uses mencoder but i cant seem to get it working in linux as i am a newbie
[02:08] <bullgard4> Was bedeutet die Interjektion 'argl'? (Wie in  http://www.rocklinux.net/irclog/rocklinux.log.20030428.html)
[02:08] <Frogzoo> daedra: you'll need to supply it, so:  'tarc  my_tar_file  /a/b/c/path_to_backup'
[02:08] <Pici> bullgard4: I dont know, it doesnt make sense to me either.
[02:08] <daedra> Frogzoo: :(
[02:09] <daedra> Frogzoo: theres got to be some lazymans way
[02:09] <daedra> Frogzoo: I thought the switch $1 would sub in the filename
[02:10] <bullgard4> Pici: Ok, thank you for commenting.
[02:11] <Janimaku> OK - I guess not a whole lot of people have a canon wich can print on CDs ? - or can give me a source where there is a howto for that topic?
[02:11] <jowi> hi. fresh feisty server install. the clock is two hours off. /etc/timezone is correct. how do I set the correct time without screwing up the system?
[02:12] <DarthShrine> jowi, `date`?
[02:12] <Myrtti> jowi: you probably have the timezone settings wrong
[02:12] <gnuskewl> Junecy_
[02:12] <slabby> what is the difference between the Desktop and Server edition of ubuntu 7.04?
[02:12] <billybong1> slabby: about 2Gb of desktop crud
[02:12] <blackbird> is it possible to run counter strike source in DX9 mode yet or always in DX8
[02:12] <jowi> Myrtti, /etc/timezone is "Europe/Paris" which is correct
[02:12] <Myrtti> slabby: the other one is ubuntu-minimal, doesn't have any desktop applications or even graphical environment
[02:13] <Myrtti> jowi: how about the bios date?
[02:13] <slabby> myrtti, thanks
[02:13] <Myrtti> is your computer bios using UTC time
[02:14] <jowi> Myrtti, this computer had dapper installed up until a couple of hours ago and the time was correct then so I assume the cmos settings are ok as well.  the server install prompted for something regarding local time or some other type of time which was the default. I went with the default.
[02:15] <jowi> Myrtti, I guess bios/cmos is set to local time
[02:15] <Myrtti> that might be the source of your problems
[02:15] <Frogzoo> jowi: I guess your timezone is set to EST or something then
[02:15] <jowi> Frogzoo, are you talking about the system or cmos?
[02:16] <Frogzoo> jowi: right click the clock in the task bar "adjust time & date"
[02:16] <jowi> Frogzoo, I don't have a task bar. only a simple WM (ion3) is installed (that's why I like the server install)
[02:17] <pawan> hi
[02:17] <pawan> noatun error
[02:17] <aricz> Hi, anyone know in which file linux sets the font at startup?
[02:17] <jowi> Frogzoo, Myrtti. "date" say CEST. how do I change that?
[02:18] <billybong1> jowi: what does "date" say?
[02:18] <tarzeau> aricz: vga textmode font?
[02:18] <aricz> tarzeau : yep, in virtual console :)
[02:18] <jowi> billybob, correct date, wrong time, CEST, 2007
[02:18] <jowi> billybong1, that was for you
[02:19] <unix4me> is there something like Flash for Linux?
[02:19] <blackbird> is it possible to run counter strike source in DX9 mode yet or always in DX8
[02:19] <filthpig> !flash
[02:19] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[02:19] <jowi> unix4me, flash players, yes. composers, not that I know of
[02:19] <unix4me> filthpig: i mean composers ;)
[02:19] <billybong1> jowi: put Europe/London in /etc/timezone
[02:20] <unix4me> is there something like Flash for Linux (not the player; the actual program) ?
[02:20] <filthpig> unix4me, ah-a!
[02:20] <Gibby82> can someone help me with a noob issues?
[02:20] <Gibby82> issue*
[02:20] <pawan> hi
[02:20] <tarzeau> unix4me: there's gifsicle to make animated gifs
[02:20] <Gibby82> hi
[02:20] <jowi> billybong1, no, the timezone is correct. it's probably CEST that should be something else. I just have no idea of where to change that
[02:20] <billybong1> Gibby82: it's ok to just ask the question
[02:21] <unix4me> tarzeau: I was looking for something for interactivity
[02:21] <Frogzoo> jowi: sudo tzconfig
[02:21] <aricz> tarzeau : did you know which file?
[02:21] <billybong1> jowi: what happens if you run ntpdate ?
[02:21] <tarzeau> aricz: no, i'd have to look
[02:21] <tarzeau> unix4me: i see
[02:21] <jowi> Frogzoo, ah thanks a lot!
[02:21] <aricz> tarzeau : aha, ok, non problemo
[02:21] <pawan> realtek drivers for ubuntu
[02:22] <unix4me> If i save something interactive in openoffice impress, will it remain interactive if I export it to flash?
[02:22] <Gibby82> ok. well, this one is an easy one for sure (except for me). I'm just wondering what partions to have for a basic install, no dual boot, and sizes. I'm brand new to this, and trying to find this info isn't as easy as I thought it would be.
[02:22] <Pici> Gibby82: If you use the live-cd install, it should set up everything for you.
[02:23] <billybong1> Gibby82: personally I just make sure /home is on its own partition - I don't want that wiped if I move to another distro
[02:23] <Frogzoo> Gibby82: 15gig for /, gig for swap, rest for home
[02:23] <Gibby82> Pici: well there is the kicker-I'm running a RAID1 on nvraid.
[02:23] <IntuitiveNipple> Gibby82: I use /boot (512MB), swap (2GB), / (10GB), /home (remainder)
[02:23] <IdleOne> pawan, you need to ask specific questions if you want someone to help you with the problem you are having! saying things like pizza is cooked could mean you want to know how to check if the pizza is cooked or want to know how to cook a pizza or perhaps your just letting us all know that the pizzzaa is cooked and you are  inviting us all to come over and have some
[02:24] <Pici> I always make at least as much swap as I have RAM. But thats just me.
[02:24] <Pici> IdleOne: Your place? Pizza? Sounds good.
[02:24] <jowi> Frogzoo, strange. i select the correct timezone with tzselect and it reports Universal time is 14h UTC and Local time 16h CEST. I want the UTC to be my local time...
[02:24] <IdleOne> Pici, lol
[02:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Pici: That is a good choice, it helps for hibernation when the swap partition receives the RAM image
[02:25] <Pici> IntuitiveNipple: Exactly.
[02:25] <Gibby82> Ok, so the part's to have are swap (obvious), root, and home?
[02:25] <syanddylf> Anybody can tell me why my adsl begin to shut down sometimes today?
[02:25] <kev_b> Can anyone tell me why this might be happening: every time I lose my wireless connection I get asked by nm-applet to enter my wpa/wpa2 key... but when I start the PC it remembers it, it only forgets it when it disconnects (loses signal or whatever)
[02:25] <Pici> Gibby82: Yes.
[02:25] <IntuitiveNipple> Gibby82: possibly a separate boot (no more than 512MB needed, and thats for someone testing kernels!)
[02:25] <zak_coding> anyone know of an irc channel full of potheads?
[02:26] <Frogzoo> jowi: why? you live in Greenwich?
[02:26] <IntuitiveNipple> Gibby82: Having a separate boot gives you the option to encrypt the root partition
[02:26] <xjkr> zak_coding, #potheads ?
[02:26] <IdleOne> !offtopic | zak_baking
[02:26] <ubotu> zak_baking: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:26] <Gibby82> Well, I don't imagine I'll be doing that anytime soon, unless this is something that is routine (testing or encryption
[02:26] <zak_baking> xjkr: that's only full of me
[02:26] <Gibby82> )
[02:26] <jowi> Frogzoo, paris at the moment. timezone say "europe/paris".
[02:26] <xjkr> zak_baking, you must be the only pothead on freenode
[02:26] <Frogzoo> jowi: that's fine
[02:26] <IntuitiveNipple> Gibby82: encrypted partitions on laptops/notebooks is a good thing
[02:27] <billybong1> but why encrypt the root partition/
[02:27] <billybong1> ?
[02:27] <jowi> Frogzoo, thanks. i like it here ;)
[02:27] <Frogzoo> jowi: yw
[02:27] <billybong1> root should only have a few bits on it
[02:27] <bricas> i'm trying to run htop but it dies immediately with "*** stack smash detected ***" -- anyone seen that before?
[02:27] <soundray> billybong1: root holds /tmp on most systems
[02:27] <Gibby82> This is on a desktop-using it to learn the OS a bit and to run a game server (not the best I know)
[02:27] <pawan> great
[02:27] <billybong1> soundray: if you've gone to the trouble of encrypting / it's fairly easy to put /tmp on its own partition or link to /var/tmp
[02:28] <Gibby82> mostly just an experiment
[02:28] <soundray> billybong1: I know. Just countering your argument that "root should only have a few bits on it"
[02:28] <daedra> Frogzoo: hey my $1 switch did work! I just needed () these brackets instead of {}
[02:28] <IntuitiveNipple> billybong1: mostly to prevent it booting without the key
[02:29] <FactTech> Question: Can anyone recommend some software for converting OGG format to MP3?
[02:29] <Frogzoo> daedra: grats
[02:29] <IdleOne> bricas, i JUST INSTALLED HTOP AND IT RUNS FINE HERE
[02:29] <IdleOne> sorry bout the caps
[02:29] <soundray> FactTech: you decode to .wav and reencode to mp3. It loses quality, though.
[02:29] <bricas> IdleOne: it seems to run fine on some of my other machines, just not this one...
[02:30] <jowi> Frogzoo, maybe i should just sync with an ntp server to see what i get
[02:30] <IdleOne> bricas, see if you cant debug...dont ask I dont know where to look
[02:30] <daedra> bricas: you could try compiling it from source
[02:30] <Gibby82> One last ?: I should be able to create these using the GUI method correct? (a bit tired ATM and code is probably not the best idea)
[02:30] <soundray> FactTech: there is also soundconvert:
[02:30] <soundray> !info soundconvert
[02:30] <ubotu> soundconvert: convert compressed sound formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.40-1 (feisty), package size 8 kB, installed size 72 kB
[02:31] <FactTech> soundray That might be OK -- it's just a voice recording. Is there a package for that, or are they separate?
[02:31] <Ryan450> hey guys, anybody know of an application that will let me record the "output" from my sound card. basicly there some sounds from a dvd and a website I want to rip for a desktop theme.
[02:31] <soundray> FactTech: ^^ see ubotu's message
[02:31] <FactTech> soundray I'll look into soundconvert. Thank you.
[02:31] <soundray> FactTech: yw
[02:31] <daedra> Ryan450: this is one way to rip sounds of a website network stream: mplayer -dumpstream filename
[02:32] <kev_b> FactTech: try soundconverter (with the er on the end) which has a gnome front end, works well
[02:32] <Frogzoo> jowi: you can install ntpdate
[02:32] <incorrect> how can i remove line feeds from text files?
[02:33] <bullgard4> Is the object_handle of the function acpi_evaluate-object () in  http://tinyurl.com/2vy5ul a number or a pointer or of what data type?
[02:33] <unix4me> is there something like Flash for Linux (not the player; the actual program) ?
[02:33] <soundray> incorrect: cat file.txt | tr -d "\n"
[02:33] <Gibby82> Sorry to bug you guys, but is ext3 the root? I assume no, but I really have no clue
[02:33] <incorrect> ty
[02:33] <ubuntuEdgy> can any one help "E: Package php4-mysql has no installation candidate "
[02:33] <incorrect> thank you!!
[02:33] <Gibby82> please excuse my noobishness
[02:33] <FactTech> kev_b Thanks. I'll check that, too.
[02:34] <bullgard4> Gibby82: Most likely not. Why do you ask?
[02:34] <soundray> incorrect: depending on your input, it may be better to replace them with spaces: cat file.txt | tr -s "\n" " "
[02:34] <stefg> !info php4-mysql
[02:34] <ubotu> Package php4-mysql does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:34] <ubuntuEdgy> i just found out why :P
[02:35] <ubuntuEdgy> it dose
[02:35] <Gibby82> Well, trying to create the partitions. Using whatever GUI related tool the installer has, trying to figure out what is what.
[02:35] <soundray> incorrect: the -s prevents multiple spaces from occurring in place of empty lines
[02:36] <vikku>  i just installed ubuntu 7.04 server ed and i want to have my internet working in it ...pls guide
[02:36] <stefg> vikku: how are you connected, and what nic do you have?
[02:36] <jowi> Frogzoo, used "ntpdate fr.pool.ntp.org" time is corrected. let's see if i survive a reboot. :)
[02:37] <bullgard4> Gibby82: ext3 is the short name of a file system. The file system ext3 is the preferred one for Ubuntu.
[02:37] <vikku> stefg: I have USB connected ADSL modem for cable internet
[02:37] <Gibby82> bullgard: yeah, I figured it out when I went back to play with it.
[02:37] <Gibby82> thanks
[02:37] <stefg> vikku: so it's most likely a driver issue with the modem. What brand is it? Is that pppoe dsl?
[02:38] <kev_b> Can anyone tell me why this might be happening: every time I lose my wireless connection I get asked by nm-applet to enter my wpa/wpa2 key... but when I start the PC it remembers it, it only forgets it when it disconnects (loses signal or whatever)
[02:38] <Ryan450> daedra: kk, there a few sounds I'd like to grab from the dvd now. any idea?
[02:38] <vikku> stefg: "pppoe : not sue ... but when i do lsusb it does show me the vendor and product id , by the way its Dlink-502T
[02:39] <aricz> Hi, anyone know which file linux use to set the font at startup?
[02:39] <AngusRichardFinn> We've got an edubuntu-machine here which doesn't boot properly after a lightning stroke... it doesn't show the boot-logo, the screen stays black, until gdm starts up. gdm works properly, and we also can login, but as we do so, gnome seems to crash and shows an error-message that some program isn't replying. we then tried another window manager, one which only consits of a terminal, from this we could start metacity so the window had
[02:39] <AngusRichardFinn>  a gnome-like style. other gnome-elements like the menu bar started also, but very slow, and they couldn't be interacted with.
[02:39] <vikku> stefg:  i've also done modprobe for that ...and iam still not able to do "sudo apt-get update"
[02:40] <Gibby82> What's the benefit/reason for having /boot? Will it still function without it?
[02:40] <stefg> vikku: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=348605
[02:41] <hypn0> Gibby82: what are you trying to do?
[02:41] <W9ZEB> is there a linux-uvc package for fiesty amd64?
[02:41] <soundray> vikku: you can connect the router to your PC using Ethernet instead of USB. That's generally a much better option.
[02:41] <vikku> stefg: thnks , going thru it now
[02:41] <AngusRichardFinn> we tried to reinstall the package metacity, with --purge parameter and removing the ~/.metacity directory, but that didn't help. Are there any other packages which might be damaged so it could help to reinstall them?
[02:41] <Gibby82> hypn0: just a basic install, nothing special. first time though...
[02:41] <vikku>  soundray:  yes, but then i thought i should dig this sytem !!

[02:43] <Gibby82> stefg: so it's more of a failsafe in case it all goes to crap?
[02:44] <stefg> slabby: ssh . instal openssh-server on ubuntu, and use putty on windows to cannect toit
[02:44] <taxman> desper: it's better to just ask what you want. It's also possible no one active now knows
[02:44] <vikku> soundray: i mean ... i needed to try this before i can go out looking for nic card
[02:44] <stefg> Gibby82: sort of. So i have always three or four distros on my box, and like to have grub separate
[02:45] <Gibby82> stefg: so if I only plan to run Ubuntu no need?
[02:45] <soundray> vikku: I see, that makes sense, if your machine doesn't have Ethernet already
[02:45] <max0> Hi can anyone help I want to install ubuntu 7.2 with a raid1 im at the partion screen
[02:46] <stefg> Gibby82: not really. If your bios is halfway new, it adds complexity, but anyway its good practice
[02:46] <slabby> stefg, i use SSH just want a graphical method aswell
[02:46] <Gibby82> stefg: thanks for the help
[02:46] <stefg> slabby: ssh -X and Xming for windows
[02:47] <IdleOne> slabby, you will like freenx
[02:47] <jowi> Frogzoo, billybong1, syncing with a good ntp server (fr.pool.ntp.org) instead of ntp.ubuntu.com solved it.
[02:47] <stefg> slabby: yeah FreeNX, much better
[02:47] <Frogzoo> jowi: you need to sync to something in your timezone
[02:47] <taxman> max0: I've heard the installer doesn't do that
[02:48] <incorrect> im trying to match elements in an XML file
[02:48] <kev_b> AngusRichardFinn: that is a really weird problem :S
[02:48] <jowi> Frogzoo, yeah.  but the installer should do that for me.
[02:48] <IdleOne> slabby, basicaly boils down to what you prefer so give both methods a try
[02:48] <AngusRichardFinn> kev_b oh yes ^^
[02:48] <incorrect> i want to grep for <element>anything<\/element>
[02:48] <incorrect> i just can't match element

[02:50] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:50] <taxman> max0: good to see others new more than I :)
[02:50] <soundray> incorrect: perhaps you have to escape the < and > characters
[02:50] <IdleOne> slabby, you can find the freenx client on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:51] <incorrect> soundray, its more to do with that carriage returns i think
[02:51] <AngusRichardFinn> it's edubuntu, and we're using it as a server for thin-clients, so it needs to have gnome to give it to the clients
[02:51] <kazaly> incorrect, go read more carefully about reg exps
[02:51] <kev_b> AngusRichardFinn: just wondering if it was turned off by the strike and perhaps the disk is corrupt... do you not even see a bios logo or the POST data?
[02:51] <kazaly> incorrect, you are close, so close
[02:51] <IdleOne> slabby, follow the instruction on that page to add the repo then you will sudo aapt-get update and sudo apt-get install freenx IIRC

[02:52] <soundray> kazaly: please reveal the solution for us
[02:52] <incorrect> :p
[02:52] <instabin> what is the launcher that you can bounce the icons around with?
[02:52] <AngusRichardFinn> hm i dont' know whether the strike turned it off, but i do think so. we ran fsck on every partition except the swap, it returned no errors.
[02:52] <egoleo> and would like to migrate all my users from old redhat server with mails to my new ubuntu server
[02:52] <egoleo> can someone help me?
[02:52] <kazaly> soundray, the solution is learn regular expressions ... it'll hold you in good stead ... kinda :)
[02:53] <soundray> kazaly: oh come on, I said please! ;)

[02:53] <instabin> Pici: thanks
[02:53] <Pici> pawan: You dont.
[02:54] <soundray> pawan: not at all, if you can avoid it.
[02:54] <soundray> pawan: if you have absolutely no choice, use alien
[02:54] <taxman> stefg: laptop, desktop cd, and I had 6.10 working on it before
[02:54] <IdleOne> pawan, does the site have a .deb file for the xmms equalizer?
[02:54] <kev_b> AngusRichardFinn: and you don't see any POST, you see absolutely nothing until GDM?
[02:54] <AngusRichardFinn> ah, yes i do
[02:54] <pawan> it has tar.gz file
[02:54] <AngusRichardFinn> bios is actually working normal
[02:54] <AngusRichardFinn> i see grub, too
[02:55] <IdleOne> pawan, give me the site please
[02:55] <instabin> Pici: Do you have to have composite enabled to use it?
[02:55] <pawan> ok
[02:55] <Pici> instabin: I believe so, but I'm not 100% sure.
[02:55] <AngusRichardFinn> but after grub loads the kernel (when there should be the edubuntu-logo), there's nothing until gsm shows up
[02:55] <stefg> taxman: there might be a bad driver for your video card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. some lappies don't like vesa, which is the default if autodetection of the video fails
[02:55] <egoleo> any help on migrating users of redhat to ubuntu server?
[02:56] <pawan> http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php?details=66
[02:56] <taxman> stefg: odd since it worked before, but anything's possible
[02:56] <kev_b> AngusRichardFinn: Oh OK, then I would suggest 1) boot with live cd and see if that works as normal and 2) if it does, backup your home directories etc and do a reinstall
[02:56] <AngusRichardFinn> we just booted a gparted-live-cd, it worked ok, gnome is starting (without gdm of course) and there was no boot-logo, so we saw the typical kernel-boot-messages
[02:56] <taxman> stefg: and besides not being able to run terminal or console, everything else looks good
[02:56] <pawan> i want to install printer dirvers
[02:57] <kev_b> AngusRichardFinn: you might be better booting an ubuntu live disk, just so you have a like-for-like comparison
[02:57] <stefg> taxman: is this the case from Live CD, too?
[02:58] <johannes> Hi. Does anyone know how to arrange windows automatically?
[02:58] <taxman> stefg: well I have a broken cd drive, but I have the cd on a partition. I never thought of testing that. Let me try
[02:58] <stefg> taxman: and try if you can run plain xterm
[02:58] <taxman> stefg: arrg, I need to edit the grub conf to boot from the install cd and can't
[02:59] <stefg> taxman: usb stick at hand?
[02:59] <taxman> ahh xterm works
[03:00] <CraZy675> is there a way I can monitor how much bandwidth my ubuntu server is using?
[03:00] <taxman> what would I be looking for for X server errors. I see nothing in dmesg
[03:00] <stefg> taxman: so you're able to look at logs or error messages. i don't know what causes that, but i face a feeling it's in xorg.conf
[03:00] <EvilDin> hi does anyone know any guide how to export logs from syslog-ng to fifo and then to postgresql
[03:00] <genii> CraZy675: Webalizer is not bad
[03:01] <CraZy675> genii: thanks
[03:01] <soundray> johannes: can you rephrase or elaborate?
[03:01] <balor> Which Gutsy package contains curl.h?
[03:02] <Pici> balor: use the package search at packages.ubuntu.com
[03:04] <AngusRichardFinn> ok kev_b, we just decided to do a reinstall. hope this'll work. thanks for the help
[03:04] <feh__> can anyone tell me how to change the ubuntu logo on the applications menu? I have read like 50 posts and none of them work
[03:04] <taxman> stefg: yeah I have terminal, but what would I be looking for?
[03:04] <NET||abuse> Is inotify enabled by default in feisty or do i have to install it/initialise it somehow? I'm curious about using beagle ;)
[03:04] <pawan> hi
[03:05] <pawan> how to install printer drivers
[03:05] <stefg> taxman: no idea, see if you get an error when you run the xfce terminal. and ask #xubuntu, maybe they know more

[03:06] <stefg> taxman: run lspci | grep VGA  that is
[03:07] <taxman> stefg: it just gives the line about vga compatible Intel 82815
[03:07] <taxman> where do I tell what X server is running?
[03:07] <pawan> i have the canon ip100 printer
[03:07] <feh__> can anyone tell me how to change the ubuntu logo on the applications menu? I have read like 50 posts and none of them work?
[03:07] <pawan> how to install the drivers
[03:07] <feh__> taxman, do ps -aux
[03:07] <feh__> should say which

[03:11] <stefg> max0: use the alternat installer
[03:11] <Burningmace> basically, when I go to compile using "gcc iwrandom.c -o iwrandom" it throws up a bunch of errors regarding missing header files
[03:11] <moldy> can i install both gnome and kde in parallel on dapper?
[03:11] <Burningmace> so it looks like the compiler needs a path setting or something
[03:12] <Burningmace> but I don't know how to fix it :/

[03:14] <max0> stefg: where is the alternat installer?
[03:14] <stefg> moldy: you can have gnome and kde installed at once. if you don't want allt he kubuntu artwork then don't install kubuntu-desktop, but choose individual kde packages

[03:14] <ubotu> max0: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal

[03:21] <Burningmace> cheers pici / ubotu, will check it out
[03:21] <Kaplan_> having trouble with CANON PIXMA MP500 in feisty, can anyone help
[03:21] <Burningmace> Just for reference, this is the output I get --> http://pastebin.com/m3329de0b
[03:21] <soundray> Tomo_: why can't you run the command?
[03:21] <genii> I'm pretty sure gimp has nothing like that
[03:21] <KomiaPoika> with k3b, i have a problem: when i start it displays an error message: could not find mime type: application octet-stream
[03:21] <Burningmace> and there's a bunch more errors related to the fact that the headers are missing (unkown functions, etc)
[03:22] <Tomo_> in the terminal the curcor just blinks and doesnt do anything
[03:22] <cuthrote> my ubuntu is spelled obonto!!! am i a netbot?????
[03:22] <KomiaPoika> lmao
[03:22] <HoboBen> Hi, question - I have an external hard drive. If I copied my entire internal hard drive (/) (excluding /media, so I don't copy my external drive to itself), and then break my Ubuntu distro, would I then be able to copy the files straight back without any problems?
[03:22] <Pici> Burningmace: That is very odd.
[03:23] <soundray> Tomo_: did you start the editor from the same terminal?
[03:23] <Tomo_> yes
[03:23] <soundray> Tomo_: is it still running?
[03:23] <Tomo_> yup
[03:23] <Burningmace> Pici - well, I'm glad in a way that it's not just my newbiness at Linux that's screwing with theings :P
[03:23] <balor> HoboBen: Probably, but using a Xen host might be an easier option.
[03:23] <soundray> Tomo_: have you save the sources.list file after editing?
[03:23] <genii> HoboBen: Yes, I've done this.You need to make /proc dir tho
[03:23] <cuthrote> listen, i'm trying to emulate windows so there's anything spicy to virtual live, like the skiing
[03:23] <Tomo_> it cant save.. its read only
[03:24] <Pici> Burningmace: You do have an internet connection on that computer, correct?
[03:24] <HoboBen> Thanks genii, balor. What would a /proc dir be/do?
[03:24] <soundray> Tomo_: exit the editor and start it again, this time with 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'.
[03:24] <Burlynn> does anyone have beryl running on an intel 950 chipset?
[03:24] <cuthrote> then everything on this lonax port has to do with bestiality
[03:24] <cuthrote> u aint never noticed that
[03:25] <Burningmace> Pici - yup
[03:25] <Pici> !offtopic | cuthrote
[03:25] <ubotu> cuthrote: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:25] <Burningmace> it's running in VMware though
[03:25] <genii> HoboBen: It's a dynamic directory that has stuff in it like your current cpu temperature or other such things. so copying it over doesn't work. It populates when the system is operating
[03:25] <kev_b> HoboBen: you would be better considering either an disk imaging or a disk cloning application
[03:25] <Burningmace> but it works, I checked
[03:25] <cuthrote> excuse me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:25] <Pici> Burningmace: Shouldnt make a difference.
[03:25] <Burningmace> I know
[03:25] <Tomo_> soundray, cheers that worked
[03:26] <kev_b> HoboBen: I think gparted will do this
[03:26] <Pici> Burningmace: try doing `sudo apt-get update` first then retry the build-essential insall
[03:26] <soundray> Tomo_: now exit the editor. Then you will have a prompt in the terminal again, which means you can run the wget... command.
[03:26] <Burningmace> ok
[03:26] <dyrne> HoboBen: there are any number of ways to do this but dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip > /meida/usb/image.gz or something is one
[03:26] <burnerx> how do i write a SysV script to start my firewall before network ?
[03:26] <HoboBen> Cool, thanks kev_b, genii, dyrne. That information helps a lot.
[03:27] <ditto> If I get the message "your session lasted less than 10 seconds", which log file would give me the best information as to what is going wrong?
[03:27] <Tomo_> soundray,  thank you so much.. everything is working now
[03:27] <Burningmace> Pici - nope, same issue.
[03:27] <younghacker> greetings
[03:28] <Burningmace> Pici - you think auto-apt is worth a try?
[03:28] <aidan> how do I provide The X toolkit library '-lXt' could not be found.
[03:28] <younghacker> would like to know what would be the first step in making my site accesible to pc's on my internal net
[03:28] <HoboBen> dyrne, I've googled for a bit more info - that command looks perfect. Thanks a ton!
[03:28] <younghacker> using apache2
[03:28] <vikku> What is the command toi install the Dhcp3-client in ubuntu server ed ?
[03:28] <cuthrote> is there highly resolved problem-solving virtual machines without a cost???
[03:28] <genii> HoboBen: If you copy stuff over, make sure to preserve ownership etc by using -p as copy switch
[03:28] <don> Hey,can anyone tell me what the correct mirror.list for apt-mirror should look like for feisty, would changing each "edgy" to "feisty" work
[03:28] <soundray> Tomo_: you're welcome -- good luck with your ubuntu
[03:28] <aidan> younghacker: sudo aptitude install apache2
[03:29] <HoboBen> genii - brilliant, thanks. :-)
[03:29] <younghacker> aidan: I am using apache2 as of now, i am able to access my site via loopback
[03:29] <vikku> What is the command to install/run the process for Dhcp3-client in ubuntu server ed ?
[03:29] <younghacker> i would like for the other 192.168.*.* 's in my net to access as well
[03:30] <Pici> Burningmace: Are you by chance on the LiveCD?
[03:30] <aidan> younghacker: edit your apache configuration to allow it, and your firewall settings, depending on what's stopping it from working
[03:30] <worst_nightmare> hi everyone
[03:30] <dyrne> vikku: dhclient eth0   ?
[03:31] <genii> vikku:  sudo apt-get install dhcp3-client    then after it installs the file is in /etc/init.d with the same name. to start it manually, do   sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-client start
[03:31] <Burningmace> Pici - I am.
[03:31] <deus> say, i need to change to a norwegian repository for my apt, can i just change "com" to "no"?
[03:31] <Dezine> I was searching on google for an easy/ier way to set up a LAMP server on my Ubuntu, I know Ubuntu Server has that but is there anything that I can use to easily set one up without Ubuntu Server edition?
[03:31] <Burningmace> hmm, now for some reason it won't let me use the install thing.
[03:31] <younghacker> aidan: thanks , thats what i suspected just wanted some more insite
[03:31] <vikku> genii: thanks will try now
[03:32] <aidan> how do I provide The X toolkit library '-lXt' could not be found.
[03:32] <Burningmace> Pici - you think that's the problem, that I need to do a full install?
[03:32] <Dezine> deus: check out http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[03:32] <Pici> Burningmace: I'm sure thats part of the problem.  I thought you could install packages on the LiveCD though.
[03:32] <gnomefreak> Dezine: no it should look simular to deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com ......
[03:33] <Dezine> gnomefreak that's a sources.list generator I found a little whiles back
[03:33] <HHP2K> Hey guys, I have a rather urgent problem.. I was playing around with different themes for GDM and one of them was broken, so now it's not displaying the login screen correctly. I tried to access gdm.conf in etc/gdm to enable automatic login and bypass that, but it's telling me that gdm.conf doesn't exist. Help? :(
[03:33] <aidan> HHP2K: how's that urgent? :)
[03:33] <Burningmace> Pici - it must be that. I'll attempt a proper install :)
[03:33] <gnomefreak> Dezine: its not been kept up so the repos may be broken
[03:33] <HHP2K> aidan: Cause I can't login!! :P
[03:33] <gnomefreak> Dezine: the maintainer hasnt had time for it in over 6 months
[03:33] <Dezine> ok, my apologies than
[03:34] <genii> Bah forgot -server/-client diffs, I don't think theres an entry in init.d for client, only -server
[03:34] <BlkGhost_> How do I get out of Damn 800 X 600 Screen Res.. The Screen Resolution only goes up to 800 x 600 ???
[03:34] <HHP2K> So does anyone know where my gdm.conf file is or how to revert the GDM back ot its defaults?
[03:35] <spikeb> HHP2K, /etc/factory-gdm.conf can be copied to /etc/gdm.conf i would imagine

[03:38] <HHP2K> spikeb: "cp etc/factory-gdm.conf etc/gdm" doesn't work, am I doing that wrong?
[03:38] <spikeb> HHP2K, you need to write "cp /etc/factory-gdm.conf /etc/gdm.conf"
[03:38] <HHP2K> oh, okay
[03:38] <spikeb> HHP2K, missing the leading /
[03:38] <HHP2K> thanks again :) I make that mistake sometimes
[03:39] <spikeb> HHP2K, not a problem
[03:39] <Burningmace> HHP2K - hehe, just don't do it the other way round with an rm -rf
[03:40] <HHP2K> I've heard of that disastrous little command before :P
[03:40] <Burningmace> I've seen it done
[03:40] <HHP2K> spikeb: That didn't work either. :( Double triple checked for typos
[03:40] <spikeb> hmm
[03:40] <Burningmace> my friend went to rm -rf a development directory, and accidentily deleted all writable files on his disk.
[03:41] <spikeb> well that was my bright idea, not sure what else to do HHP2K
[03:41] <um6beimpsychodoc> I've got a little question, doing a dd with input /dev/random and outpunt on a /dev/sda device, blocksize 65535, how long does this take on a 80gig hard drive?
[03:41] <user1_> that's what backup data is for
[03:41] <Burningmace> hehe
[03:41] <Flodo> Yay! Ubuntu irc on my pda =)
[03:42] <HHP2K> Oh, I found it..
[03:42] <HHP2K> factory-gdm was in etc/gdm/
[03:43] <spikeb> oh for crying out loud, i can't read
[03:43] <ubuntu-rocks> where can i find the serial port settings for ubuntu feisty?
[03:43] <spikeb> HHP2K, sorry.
[03:43] <HHP2K> and I successfully copied it back to that dir as gdm.conf, but sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm.conf still tells me that it doesn't exist
[03:43] <spikeb> try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm instead of gdm.conf
[03:43] <HHP2K> I need to edit that file to set the auto login on, should I be using sudo-dpkg reconfigure?
[03:43] <HHP2K> okay
[03:43] <spikeb> bbl folks
[03:44] <HHP2K> Thanks a lot :)

[03:49] <jatt> which is the easiest way to install a network printer from gnome? Some kind of wizard-based configuration tool?
[03:49] <SirBob1701> Feanix: /boot/grub/menu.lst holds grub info.
[03:49] <HHP2K> Shoot, that still didn't work.. sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm didn't solve the problem.
[03:49] <HHP2K> Does anyone know how to bypass GDM when it's messed up?
[03:49] <SirBob1701> Feanix: grub itself tho is held in the partition table

[03:52] <dyrne> CyberWorld: cedega works with bliz i think so it might be easier

[03:53] <Vlet> Anyone know how to get a gnome panel to span between two monitors?
[03:53] <CyberWorld> but been kinda tired of it anyways

[03:53] <dyrne> CyberWorld: just role play in tremulous ;p
[03:53] <Frogzoo> Masterkong: gxine lets you increase memory buffers
[03:54] <osfameron> Masterkong: haven't used mplayer though for a while - when I first installed it liked to crash my laptop and it had a horrible UI skin iirc
[03:54] <tutti> HHP2K World of warcraft is the program
[03:54] <Frogzoo> Masterkong: also, vid quality is superior imo
[03:54] <osfameron> gxine has an insane configuration panel though
[03:54] <Feanix> SirBob1701: thak you. so essentially, I can just go ahead and install xp, and then restore grub afterwards, there is nothing I should save before?
[03:54] <kyja> hey here is a question I hope one can answer please please please
[03:54] <tck> which distro did Ubuntu start using upstart?
[03:54] <Feanix> *thank
[03:54] <CyberWorld> tutti you want cedega
[03:54] <CyberWorld> google that
[03:55] <kyja> are we capable of creating flash?
[03:55] <Pici> tck: Feisty I believe.
[03:55] <Pici> !upstart
[03:55] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[03:55] <Masterkong> thanx Frogzoo .. then there are more ppl than me who thinks mplayer vid quality sucks
[03:55] <mc44> tck: edgy
[03:55] <SirBob1701> Feanix: I always save my important files before something like that just because you never know what could happen  but it should be fine as long as you make sure xp stays in the current vista parition and doesn't expand it

[03:55] <Pici> !alien | pawan
[03:55] <ubotu> pawan: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[03:55] <Masterkong> gxine it is then

[03:56] <logixoul2> Hi. I installed Feisty the normal way. Then I also installed it via Wubi. Then, in Linux, I did a grub-install to the Windows partition (with a wrong menu.lst). Now I can no longer boot into the wubi-installed system, as I have lost the series of GRUB commands necessary. Can anyone help? :)
[03:56] <Pici> pawan: These instructions were in that forums link you pasted here earlier.
[03:56] <kyja> because I realy would love to program some flash but think us poor debian flavor lovers are left out in the cold please tell me I am wrong
[03:56] <jcs> !alien | pawan
[03:56] <ubotu> pawan: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)

[03:58] <CyberWorld> it's nooby install now
[03:58] <Tomcat_> user1_: Check if your mails got "X-Spam" (or similar) headers by your SA machine.

[03:58] <Tomcat_> user1_: Example... wait a second
[03:59] <logixoul2> Pici: yeah, I know... I think it's on-topic here though. I'll keep asking from time to time, but I'll also try the Wubi forums. thanks.

[04:02] <lungan> How do i get a .img from vide_ts folder?

[04:02] <HoboBen> SirBob1701, that might be the best way. I'll do that. Thanks.

[04:09] <Marfi> fsckr, twinview works fine. its that i want them to act as individual monitors, not one giant one
[04:09] <fsckr> yes i understand

[04:13] <Pici> NemesisUK: Firestarer
[04:13] <fsckr> Masterkong: yes or where did you get info on how to have 5.1 working?
[04:13] <Pici> NemesisUK: firestarter rather. (typo)
[04:14] <Masterkong> http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Main_Page and some thinking and testing
[04:14] <NemesisUK> Pici, isnt firestarter a little simplistic tho?
[04:14] <razvan> mare exactly it is a broadband connection with user and pass
[04:14] <Pici> NemesisUK: Probably.
[04:14] <NemesisUK> thx anyway :)
[04:14] <lungan> If i have a 6gig video_ts and want to compress it to ordinary about 4.5gig size in .iso format? How do i compress it?
[04:14] <razvan> and i can't find where to type in my user and pass
[04:15] <bullgard4> When I started my computer this morning, the home partition had been mounted 30 times. So fsck was called and the splash screen did not hide all startup messages. These startup messages end in either 'OK' or 'failed' on the right-hand side of the screen. They differ from the contents of /var/log/dmesg. Are they logged in some file also? Are they the result of daemons in /etc/init.d?
[04:15] <jikanter>  I mistakenly deleted my /etc/passwd and /etc/group when creating a chroot and now
[04:15] <Masterkong> i think it worked all along fsckr .. but i didn't know how to play it
[04:15] <jikanter> I can't login
[04:15] <_imran_> open office is giving me problems, when i click to edit a document the screen goes grey and i can't click on anything..can anybody help me with this please?
[04:15] <jikanter> Is there a failsafe way for me to get in? or do I need a live CD?
[04:16] <wbadger> how can I delete a swap file?
[04:16] <fsckr> Masterkong: hmm ive used ubuntu for over a year and haven't gotten 5.1 working by default.  try playin mp3's in 5.1
[04:16] <adrian> why everytime i reboot i must to set the permissions of /dev/input/event2 and never are saved???
[04:16] <Marfi> Masterkong, fsckr , same goes for me. whenever i played an mp3, it wouldn't work on the back 2 speakers.
[04:17] <Oggu> Rosegarden wont run. Something with latency with kernel
[04:17] <_imran_> can anybody tel me how to add a printer?
[04:17] <fsckr> Marfi: thats what i thought so you dont have 5.1 working :)
[04:17] <wbadger> _imran_, open firefox, enter "localhost:631" and you should be able to see a CUPS screen
[04:18] <fsckr> i have a fresh install of ubuntu this morning and esd loads on startup.  I do not remember this happening before does anyone have the same problem or did have it as me?
[04:18] <kyja> soneil, anyone know how ubuntu folk can program flash?
[04:18] <Marfi> fsckr, didn't even get it working in windows, either. no use for 5.1 if im just listening to music. =)
[04:18] <HHP2K> !printer | _imran_
[04:18] <ubotu> _imran_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[04:18] <_imran_> wbadger, thanks
[04:18] <Masterkong> ahh... fsckr .. that would be my next priority
[04:18] <fsckr> windows you dont have to do anything
[04:18] <kyja> soleil?? uhh thats supose to be so anyone
[04:18] <_imran_> can
[04:18] <fsckr> it works
[04:18] <fsckr> course I haven't used windows in over a year
[04:18] <Masterkong> to make 2 channel sound output in all 5 speakers
[04:18] <fsckr> but i never had to do anything
[04:19] <Marfi> fsckr, only reason i use windowze is because im a tech. but....haven't used windows in 3 months. =)
[04:19] <fsckr> i already know where to go to make 5.1 but its fake
[04:19] <fsckr> < im a tech
[04:19] <fsckr> :)
[04:19] <Masterkong> i've just gotten that to work in windows with a plugin for winamp
[04:19] <Marfi> woot for techs!
[04:19] <fsckr> let me give you the link to get 5.1 working.
[04:20] <wbadger> how can I delete a swap file?
[04:20] <Vlet> wbadger: There are no swap files in linux - they are swap partitions
[04:20] <Tomcat_> Vlet: There are swap files. ;)
[04:20] <fsckr> Marfi: Masterkong here is a link to get 5.1 http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=971
[04:20] <Vlet> :)
[04:21] <wbadger> Vlet, vim tells me it found a swap file (I was probably editing when the computer crashed)
[04:21] <Marfi> fsckr, but i like my 2.1. =P
[04:21] <wbadger> But I can't seem to find that file
[04:21] <Tomcat_> Vlet: Usually, swap is a partition... but because everything in Unix is a file, you can also use a file as swap... easy way to increase swap space.
[04:21] <killermach> I need some pointers on getting a 1394 dvcam to send data to kino in linux, thanks for any help
[04:21] <adrian> why everytime i reboot i must to set the permissions of /dev/input/event2 and never are saved???
[04:21] <Masterkong> um fsckr .. can you make sound in all your speakers with speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c 6 ?
[04:22] <Vlet> Tomcat_: ahh... so normally there are not, but it's something one can do... well, as far as wbadger's problem, it sounds like vim is suggesting he somehow accesses his swap space
[04:22] <fsckr> Masterkong: negative
[04:22] <wbadger> Vlet, it says: "[you should recover the file with :recover]  [..]  If you did this already, delete the swap file ".family_locate.c.swp"
[04:23] <Masterkong> Marfi, fsckr : there is one thing to play 2channel sound in 5.1 speakers and making 5.1 channel sound output on 5.1 speakers
[04:23] <Pici> wbadger: It sounds like to me that its talking about a temporary saved copy.
[04:23] <Masterkong> *another
[04:23] <wbadger> Pici, where would that copy be saved?
[04:23] <Pici> wbadger: Same directory the file is in as .family_locate.c.swp
[04:23] <fsckr> Masterkong: yes i know ;)
[04:24] <_imran_> i go into system>administration>printing>file-addprinter...then it doesnt respand :(
[04:24] <wbadger> Pici, you are right.. I'm sorry, that was indeed my first thought but I couldn't find it the way I looked for it. thanks

[04:36] <CHA0Xm1nd> wbadger so the gfx driver works, no problem???
[04:36] <wbadger> CHA0Xm1nd, if you want to be sure, open a terminal and write: "glxinfo | grep direct"
[04:37] <wbadger> CHA0Xm1nd, what does it say ?
[04:37] <Hornet_> Okay... why would a network share refuse to mount? :\
[04:37] <dyrne> CHA0Xm1nd: you can apt-get tremulous or some other game if you want to try it out
[04:37] <adrian> why everytime i reboot i have to set again the permissions of /dev/input/event2 and never are saved???
[04:37] <Hornet_> mount -t smbfs //<IP_ADDRESS>/test /mnt/test
[04:37] <Hornet_> Won't work, but I can get to it via smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/test without issue
[04:37] <CHA0Xm1nd> wbadger Direct rendering: yes
[04:38] <wbadger> CHA0Xm1nd, well then you're just fine.    I'm trying to setup a static IP on one but with no success. :-(
[04:41] <Hornet_> Any ideas, anyone?
[04:41] <wbadger> CHA0Xm1nd, it is not hell, but since ubuntu 7.04 there's that restricted drivers manager and now it is real easy (usually hehe) :)
[04:42] <CHA0Xm1nd> wbadger :-) nice... well it felt like hell, because i had no feeling at all of what i did

[04:44] <bulmer> paulm_, go and boot off of liveCD now
[04:44] <wbadger> Hornet`, I'm not sure it works that way. how about you try installing the package smbfs
[04:45] <paulm_> bulmer: the problem is that /etc/network/interfaces keeps being reset with some default entries of eth0, eth1, eth2, wan0 etc.
[04:45] <Hornet`> It's a live enviroment. :\
[04:45] <echosystm> whats a good download manager?
[04:45] <bulmer> paulm_, well it gets resets once you shutdown..but what do you mean by being reset by whom or which process resets it?
[04:46] <Hornet`> Bleh, no matter.  How can I see what's actually *in* lost*found?
[04:46] <Hornet`> *lost&found, even
[04:46] <bulmer> echosystm, wget not good enuff for you?
[04:46] <echosystm> i need a gui
[04:46] <wbadger> Hornet`, you should have the user's password and use "sudo"
[04:46] <paulm_> bulmer: I mean the file is overwritten but something else.
[04:47] <bulmer> echosystm, you tried that in you browser yet?  wget:///url..here
[04:47] <Hornet`> wbadger: It's a root shell.
[04:47] <moldy> what do i need to install to get a localized kde?
[04:47] <bulmer> paulm_, what do you mean?
[04:47] <wbadger> Hornet`, so what do you get when you "ls /lost+found" ?
[04:47] <Pici> moldy: Localized?
[04:47] <kyant>
[04:47] <Hornet`> It's empty, yet there's still a large amount of space being used.
[04:48] <Pici> Hornet`: What about ls -a /lost+found/
[04:48] <wbadger> Hornet`, how do you know it uses the space?

[04:49] <needhelp> Hi, I have a little problem installing Ubuntu 704. After booting from the CD, I enter the setup and do all the setup and configurationstuff. Then when it requires to reboot the computer, I eject the CD and do a reboot. What happens now is that Windows XP instead of GRUB og Ubuntu loads. I have this harddisc layout: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31100/ . What am I doing wrong ?
[04:49] <moldy> Pici: in the wizard that pops up when logging into kde for the first time, i cannot select anything else than englishh as "language"
[04:50] <Pici> moldy: Ah.
[04:50] <Pici> !locale | moldy check out this link
[04:50] <ubotu> moldy check out this link: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[04:50] <Pici> moldy: If that doest work, try asking in #kubuntu
[04:50] <paulm_> bulmer:  ok so I setup my live cd image (with static IP settings in /etc/network/interfaces), create image, boot off image.  But then once I am up, I find all the settings have been overwritten.
[04:51] <paulm_> bulmer: the entries in the interfaces file, that is.
[04:51] <moldy> Pici: thx
[04:51] <Hornet`> ./lost+found:

[04:51] <moldy> another question: my nfs share is mounted fine, but does not appear in the output of "mount" -- why?
[04:51] <puvneet> i can someone help me i want to know how to add lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:51] <Hornet`> using ls -alR
[04:52] <bulmer> paulm_, umm i have not done remastering an iso image...maybe there is a scripts that modifies that as part of the install...maybe you have to direct it to some kind of answer file
[04:52] <puvneet> i would like to know how to add lines to i can someone help me i want to know how to add lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:52] <Pici> puvneet: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:53] <dyrne> puvneet: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:53] <wbadger> Hornet`, mine also gives the same result. but that is just 16k you know, you can use -h so the values will be more human readable
[04:53] <bulmer> paulm_, just like when you are installing, it prompts you to configure the network..that part of it you need to find out and direct the configs you set
[04:53] <puvneet> thanks
[04:53] <Hornet`> No, about 240 megs is used somehow.
[04:53] <wbadger> Hornet`, not according to ls
[04:53] <paulm_> bulmer: well this is what I have been thinking, but I don't seem to be able to find it.
[04:53] <wbadger> Hornet`, i'm very sorry but I must go now
[04:53] <wbadger> Hornet`, I have a plane to catch tonight
[04:54] <Pici> Hornet`: You say nothing is on the drive except /lost+found/ ?
[04:54] <Hornet`> Fair enough, but I assure you that a load of space is missing somehow. :\
[04:54] <wbadger> Hornet`, sorry I couldn't do more. goodbye
[04:54] <bulmer> paulm_, i dont know off hand where to find that info on setting the network during remastering
[04:54] <Hornet`> Thanks for helping.

[04:56] <needhelp> osxdude|lap: change into what ?
[04:56] <bulmer> paulm_, umm google for it? remastering ubuntu ?
[04:57] <Pici> Hornet`: by /lost+found/ ?
[04:57] <paulm_> bulmer:  thanks, will try that.
[04:57] <kikokos> hi
[04:57] <logixoul2> Hi guys. What commands do I need to enter in the GRUB commandline to make it boot into a Feisty (installed via Wubi)?
[04:58] <bulmer> paulm_, in the preseeding portion of the process may narrow it a bit
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp: That dosent tell me much other than you have a second drive with your /home.. where did you install grub and what is it showing..  Someone else will be able to help you more as I am busy installing UB on my other system as we speak
[04:58] <osxdude|lap> neephelp: Your BIOS Settings. You need to change the boot priority.   But as far as I know there's nothing else there.
[04:58] <Hornet`> In fact, there's 3% gone from both drives. :\
[04:59] <Hornet`> And they're new partitions as well.
[04:59] <riaal> How do I start an application from terminal as an background process?
[04:59] <Pici> Hornet`: Its probably due to the nature of the ext3 filesystem.
[04:59] <Pici> riaal: nohup application &
[04:59] <kikokos> I have a problem (i use now ubuntu) but i try to install it on my friend comp and after insert live cd (7.04) boot process stoped on: squashfs: version 3.2-ubuntu (2007/05/16) Philllip Lougher . Could you herlp us ?
[04:59] <Pici> riaal: Where application is the program's name.
[04:59] <genii> Pici i think -d also detaches it
[04:59] <riaal> Pici, and & os ?
[05:00] <kikokos> p.s. acpi=off and still dont work
[05:00] <needhelp> Jack_Sparrow: actually I dont know where grub is installed. I did automatically by the installerprogram.
[05:00] <riaal> is*
[05:00] <paulm_> bulmer: sorry, I don't understand what you mean?
[05:00] <needhelp> osxdude|lap: k, I go try change the bootsequence
[05:00] <osxdude|lap> needhelp: GRUB is on the drive you installed ubuntu
[05:00] <cperfumo> does anyone know one channel where I can ask about itanium assembly?
[05:00] <Hornet`> Pici: so ext3 takes a large chunk by default? :\
[05:00] <Pici> riaal: nohup tells it to continue running when the terminal is closed. & says to run in the background
[05:01] <needhelp> osxdude|lap: then its probably on /dev/sda5
[05:01] <kikokos> mhmm an anyone help or just tell me "no" :P ?
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp: look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:01] <riaal> Pici, thanks
[05:01] <bulmer> paulm_, at which portion of the remastering process do you copy the /etc/resolv.conf ?
[05:01] <Pici> Hornet`: Thats what it sounds like.
[05:01] <arag0rn> hey
[05:01] <osxdude|lap> needhelp: yup or /dev/sda
[05:01] <Pici> Hornet`: I havent ever really checked.
[05:01] <arag0rn> I was compiling a package that requires Xext.h
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp: on 3
[05:01] <arag0rn> any ideas which package that belongs to
[05:01] <arag0rn> I'm on fiesty fawn
[05:01] <Pici> arag0rn: search for the file on packages.ubuntu.com
[05:02] <Hornet`> Pici: Thanks then. :)
[05:02] <Pici> arag0rn: says x11proto-xext-dev
[05:02] <needhelp> Jack_Sparrow: on 3.. what ? *confused*
[05:02] <Pici> arag0rn: or ivtools-dev
[05:02] <Hornet`> This channel's far too busy. :(
[05:02] <arag0rn> Pici,  great thanks
[05:03] <paulm_> bulmer: at the beginning, right after I have mounted ext3 just before I chroot.
[05:03] <braxis> Could I have some help changing my resolution... for some reason it's stuck at 800x600 and I'm running the restricted nvidia drivers
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp: sorry sda1
[05:04] <cperfumo> does anyone know one channel where I can ask about itanium assembly?
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp: I cnet seem to do this.. sda5
[05:04] <bulmer> paulm_, when you chroot, you chroot to which directory?
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp: you are mixing hda and sda, are you also running raid
[05:05] <riaal> How do I make an aplication that is already running in the foreground run in the background (terminal)?
[05:06] <arang> i need help with aMule , i get Kad:firewalled even when im in a DMZ
[05:06] <kuitang> riaal: add a & to the end, eg longprogram &
[05:06] <braxis> That's before running kuitang :P
[05:06] <riaal> kuitang, the aplication is allready running =/
[05:06] <fsckr> who was it that had the same vid card as me and is trying to get twinview running?
[05:07] <fsckr> < can't remember crap
[05:07] <braxis> What video card do you have
[05:07] <Hory> help, i had to hard reset ubuntu (from the button on the computer case) and now when i restart it, it shows a brown ubuntu login screen. If i input the correct username/password, the screen turns black for a couple of seconds, then it goes back to the login screen with no error message. What can i do?
[05:07] <Ozux> hi I add some directories to my $PATH in .bashrc but that Directories are not in the Alt+F2
[05:07] <fsckr> 7800gtxc
[05:07] <Hory> (ubuntu 6.10)
[05:07] <braxis> Oh I have the GT
[05:07] <braxis> :(
[05:07] <paulm_> bulmer: the directory which has a fresh copy of the ISO root directory.
[05:07] <fsckr> doesn't matter
[05:07] <fsckr> if you want twinview
[05:07] <bulmer> paulm_, just thinking out loudly..at what point to you load the driver for the nic card?
[05:07] <fsckr> working
[05:07] <braxis> Twinview meaning dual display?
[05:07] <fsckr> correct
[05:07] <braxis> That's surprisingly relevant
[05:07] <fsckr> LOL dittos quit message
[05:07] <logixoul2> Hi guys. What commands do I need to enter in the GRUB commandline to make it boot into a Feisty (installed via Wubi)?
[05:08] <fsckr> sudo make me a sandwich
[05:08] <braxis> <3 xkcd
[05:08] <logixoul2> indeed
[05:08] <braxis> So uh what does it take to install twinview
[05:08] <bulmer> paulm_, i assume you have to load the driver for the nic card before you can configure it right?
[05:08] <fsckr> enabling it and editing xorg
[05:08] <braxis> Maybe you're the one to ask about my problem...
[05:08] <braxis> I can't change my resolution with my 7800GT
[05:08] <braxis> It's stuck at 800x600
[05:09] <neverblue> braxis, not sure 'twinview' in ubuntu :)
[05:09] <fsckr> how is it stuck
[05:09] <braxis> I have no other options
[05:09] <power220> dear all how i can install gnome gui on ubuntu server 6.06 lts
[05:09] <fsckr> paste your xorg
[05:09] <kuitang> braxis: you might edit your xorg config file
[05:09] <fsckr> http://pastebin.ca
[05:09] <PriceChild> power220, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:09] <fsckr> ill paste mine
[05:09] <braxis> Alright hold up
[05:09] <paulm_> bulmer: yes in general terms.  But I am using the feisty iso as a template and the network comes up find with this...
[05:09] <power220> thank you
[05:10] <braxis> I'm not on dual monitors right now but I could definitely plug the second in
[05:10] <paulm_> bulmer: so I fairly confident it isn't a driver issue
[05:10] <riaal> I have a problem here, Im running 2 aplications in the background of an terminal, when I use jobs -l they are listed. but how do I make on of the listed run in the foreground again?
[05:10] <kuitang> riaal: fg [number]
[05:10] <fsckr> my xorg.conf http://pastebin.ca/632019
[05:10] <bulmer> paulm_, what network settings do you get even though you said it changed?
[05:10] <riaal> kuitang, thanks a lot
[05:10] <braxis> Hmm what's the native notepad in ubuntu
[05:10] <PriceChild> braxis, gedit
[05:10] <fsckr> gedit
[05:11] <braxis> Ah alright

[05:12] <power220> how i can install ldap server
[05:12] <max00> can anyone help im at the partion screen
[05:13] <paulm_> bulmer:  it doesn't get any ip address.  But this was after I started removing applications like avahi-daemon, dhcp3-client, avahi-autoipd
[05:13] <fsckr> braxis i see 2 things.  1. i dont think you need the dri option at the bottom, and 2. find the horizontal and vert refresh rates for your monitor
[05:13] <braxis> fsckr: where would I find those statistics
[05:13] <fsckr> what brand monitor do you have?
[05:14] <power220> join #egypt
[05:14] <braxis> Acer AL1714
[05:14] <braxis> LCD
[05:14] <bulmer> paulm_, well, am curious once you put those back, i wonder what ip address you get assigned
[05:14] <fsckr> eww you may have a problem :) lemme find it
[05:14] <paulm_> bulmer:  previously it would setup the 169.254.* network on eth0.
[05:14] <braxis> fsckr: It used to run on ubuntu fine a year ago
[05:15] <fsckr> braxis: with what resolution?
[05:15] <braxis> 1280x1024
[05:15] <braxis> 72hz
[05:15] <paulm_> bulmer:  and the interfaces file would have been rewritten, as mentioned before.
[05:15] <braxis> Who is paulm_ talking to?
[05:15] <genii> power220 http://www.islandlinux.org/HOWTO/openldap_ssl.html
[05:15] <genii> bah they left
[05:16] <Pici> braxis: probably bulmer since he is prefixing his lines with his name.
[05:16] <paulm_> braxis:  I am talking to bulmer
[05:16] <braxis> For some reason I can't see bulmer
[05:16] <braxis> That's really wierd
[05:16] <braxis> weird even
[05:16] <bulmer> am here :)
[05:16] <osxdude|lap> I  see you
[05:16] <adrian> it's possible to change permanently the permissions of /dev/input/event3 ?
[05:16] <jport> how do i get divx plugin for firefox ?
[05:17] <bulmer> aye
[05:17] <devcenter> i'm with error
[05:17] <fsckr> braxis:                Horizontal 22kHz~82kHz x Vertical 56Hz ~76 Hz
[05:17] <devcenter> http://paste.ubuntu-br.org/4429
[05:18] <devcenter> in my log....
[05:18] <fsckr> need to put that in your xorg
[05:18] <braxis> Where would I past that
[05:18] <dyrne> jport: not sure of curent package name. mozilla-mplayer or something is what id use
[05:18] <jport> yeah im looking for the plugin for mplayer
[05:18] <devcenter> any, can you help me?
[05:18] <braxis> fsckr: where in the xorg would that go?
[05:18] <fsckr> braxis: under your monitor section
[05:18] <fsckr> just replace what it has there
[05:18] <braxis> ah
[05:19] <braxis> You mean in the monitor section I'm assuming
[05:19] <Rprp> how can i see what is 'listening' on /dev/mixer!?
[05:19] <fsckr> yes
[05:19] <paulm_> braxis: very weird, i can see him
[05:19] <devcenter> http://paste.ubuntu-br.org/4429
[05:19] <fsckr> braxis: you will see horisync and vertrefresh
[05:19] <braxis> Yeah
[05:20] <fsckr> place the correct values accordingly otherwise your lcd may go poof
[05:20] <fsckr> :)
[05:20] <bulmer> paulm_, when you boot off the remastered cd... do you get a boot:  prompt  at boot time?
[05:20] <dyrne> braxis: dance in a circle and do a little chant before saving.
[05:20] <fsckr> dyrne: LOL
[05:21] <braxis> I do that always when I edit xorg.cfg
[05:21] <fsckr> always works for me
[05:21] <braxis> The only way it works
[05:21] <yo_noob> Greetings, does anyone know where the init script messages are logged on ubuntu?
[05:21] <paulm_> bulmer:  a grub screen?  yes
[05:21] <fsckr> i do the jig
[05:21] <braxis> fsckr: I don't see how this is going to help me change the resolution though
[05:22] <fsckr> also braxis you will probably want to put metamodes in there as well
[05:22] <fsckr> take a look how mine are in my xorg
[05:22] <braxis> Alright
[05:22] <fsckr> if my understand it correct those rates will directly affect your resolution or how high a monitor can go
[05:23] <braxis> ah alright
[05:23] <Celestianpower> Hello. The computer froze during upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10, so we switched the computer off, and when we restarted, we got "screen init failed", and a flashing cursor. So, we loaded an old kernel, and got GNOME running. However, it looks very "retro", and there are no icons or anything. I assume it's not fully upgraded. Can anyone help?
[05:23] <fsckr> brb have to get more coffee
[05:23] <Madsy> How did I force a fsck-run again?
[05:23] <Madsy> It was a touch parameter.
[05:24] <BlkGhost> OK I have my first run in with crashing Xwindows.. :( I'm trying to setup my dual monitors on a Matrox Video Card and having some Issues... Any Help would be great ....
[05:24] <braxis> Rebooting and praying
[05:25] <Frogzoo> Celestianpower: tbh, you'd do best to just clean install from here
[05:25] <bulmer> paulm_, from there boot:  if you tell it to scan for your config files maybe it will be used? am just thinking loudly here
[05:25] <Celestianpower> Frogzoo: How do I do that?
[05:25] <hylje> Celestianpower: chances are you can rerun dist-upgrade, i do not really know about what happened with GNOME
[05:25] <e\ectro_> where can I configure XDMCP to honor indirect requests from the cli?
[05:25] <mohammed> hey guys !anyone knows where to get ubuntu live event videos ?
[05:25] <e\ectro_> is it in gdm.conf ?
[05:25] <Frogzoo> Celestianpower: download the feisty cd - insert & install
[05:26] <Keit1> Hello, what are the best graphic drivers to install for a geforce 4 ti 4600? I can't get the ones from Nvidia.com to work
[05:26] <Pici> mohammed: check in #ubuntulive
[05:26] <yo_noob> does anyone know where the init script messages are logged on ubuntu? NTFS-3g spat out some messages but I am unable to see them on tty8 and anything in /var/log
[05:26] <Celestianpower> Frogzoo: I don't understand - I can't download a CD?
[05:26] <Ronald> Keit1: legacy drivers
[05:26] <mohammed> will do , thx
[05:26] <Ronald> from the ubuntu repository
[05:27] <AlivesWrk> im trying to get iptables to auto load its iptables-save rules file on boot.  Where does ubuntu look for it?  Or do I just use an rc to load them?
[05:27] <erUSUL> Celestianpower: check that the sources ( /etc/apt/sources.list ) point to 6.10 (edgy) and do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[05:27] <devcenter> how to ubuntu back default panel settings
[05:27] <Keit1> Ronald: Where are the legacy drivers?
 from the ubuntu repository
[05:27] <braxis> Ugh I still can't change my resolution :(
[05:27] <Keit1> Ronald: ok thanks I will try that :)
[05:27] <Frogzoo> Celestianpower: you can't boot off the dapper cd?
[05:28] <sussebass> how do I configure my phillips pcmcia wireless card?
[05:28] <Frogzoo> Celestianpower: still doesn't help unless you've 2 cds
[05:28] <Celestianpower> Frogzoo: I don't have a Dapper CD
[05:28] <paulm_> bulmer: mm... not sure what you mean.
[05:28] <erUSUL> !wifi | sussebass
[05:28] <ubotu> sussebass: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:28] <bulmer> AlivesWrk, i'd prefer to use the rc files myself to load the iptables rules
[05:28] <Frogzoo> Celestianpower: well beg/borrow/steal a feisty cd is still your easiest option
[05:28] <fsckr> braxis: can you paste your xorg.log?
[05:28] <younghacker> what is the proper syntax to kill a process by PID
[05:28] <fsckr> from /var/log
[05:28] <Ronald> Keit1: nvidia-glx-legacy
[05:28] <braxis> I suppose so
[05:29] <Keit1> Ronald: Package nvidia-glx-legacy
[05:29] <Keit1> :)
[05:29] <verboz> hi all
[05:29] <Keit1> ok thanks again
[05:29] <David_CDRJ> exit
[05:29] <erUSUL> younghacker: kill <pid>
[05:29] <tonsofpcs> anyone know if I can install xen on ubuntustudio [feisty fawn]  and if so, if I can use xen to launch windows from physical partitions?
[05:29] <sussebass> thanks
[05:29] <AlivesWrk> bulmer: im used to other distros that load based on file location
[05:29] <fsckr> hi verboz
[05:29] <verboz> i want to install IE7 in my ubuntu
[05:29] <bulmer> paulm_, from the boot: promt I am wondering it you can just manualy insert a command (boot option) to tell which config file to use
[05:29] <Ronald> Keit1: + restricted modules something
[05:29] <verboz> but with Wine, i've pb
[05:29] <younghacker> does the pid actually get enclosed in the carrots?
[05:29] <AlivesWrk> does ubuntu do this or is?
[05:29] <younghacker> no right
[05:29] <younghacker> ::smaking self::
[05:29] <tonsofpcs> verboz: you can get ie7's engine running in ie6's frame
[05:29] <braxis> fsckr: http://pastebin.ca/632042
[05:30] <bulmer> AlivesWrk, am sure ubuntu has something equivalent..dont know on top of my head
[05:30] <AlivesWrk> ok thanks
[05:30] <verboz> tonsofpcs, ???
[05:30] <verboz> don't understand you
[05:30] <e\ectro_> I am trying to configure Xvnc with XDMCP and I get to the login screen for gnome, but it doesnt accept my username/password.  What would the problem be?
[05:30] <tonsofpcs> verboz: was that too hard to understand?
[05:30] <Keit1> Ronald: I cant see the restricted module thing?
[05:30] <braxis> I don't know why it thinks I have a wacom
[05:30] <Ronald> ask synaptic to search for restricted :P
[05:30] <tonsofpcs> verboz: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Beta
[05:30] <Ronald> kernel modules and all
[05:31] <verboz> ok
[05:31] <verboz> thanks a lot
[05:31] <younghacker> my update manager is hung up (lagging) it seems like it never started the update process because the notification icon is still active and not shaded, i am looking for the process to kill it and restart it
[05:31] <Keit1> got an error on installing that package
[05:31] <younghacker> however when i do kill <PID> and then do ps i still see the same processes running
[05:32] <younghacker> i even see the nc's from last night that i thought i quit out on
[05:32] <fsckr> braxis: you are using lcd correct?
[05:32] <braxis> Yes sir
[05:32] <erUSUL> younghacker: use 'kill -9'
[05:32] <fsckr> y does your xorg.log say crt-1
[05:32] <Ozux> hi I add some directories to my $PATH in .bashrc but that Directories are not in the Alt+F2, How can I add a new directory to my X session PATH?
[05:32] <preaction> younghacker, if sigint doesn't work, try sigkill (kill -9 <pid>)
[05:32] <bailongo> hi
[05:32] <bulmer> AlivesWrk, perhaps you can man invoke-rc.d
[05:32] <braxis> fsckr: Well I guess it's wrong :P
[05:32] <fsckr> you have 2 lcds?
[05:32] <younghacker> kill -9 <pid>
[05:32] <younghacker> ok
[05:32] <braxis> fsckr: The monitor I have plugged in is an LCD
[05:33] <preaction> younghacker, just know that sigkill doesn't give the process time to do anything at all, it will die. you may also need to be root to kill certain processes
[05:33] <erUSUL> younghacker: the default kill signal can be ignored by the process the -9 (SIGKILL) signal can't be ignored
[05:33] <fsckr> but you have 2 connected to vid card?
[05:33] <younghacker> what is sigint? unfamiliar with that
[05:33] <braxis> Not right now
[05:33] <preaction> younghacker, (so, sudo kill -9 <pid>)
[05:33] <younghacker> ohh
[05:33] <braxis> In nvidia-settings it says my monitor is @@@ (CRT-1)
[05:33] <younghacker> lol let me copy and paste all of this useful information
[05:33] <younghacker> lol
[05:33] <badar> I want to upgrade from 6.06 Dapper to 7.04 Fiesty, through Fiesty CD-Rom without using internet. Is it possible? And how?
[05:33] <preaction> younghacker, sigint = interrupt, it's what happens when you Ctrl+C
[05:33] <fsckr> braxis: ok gimme a min
[05:33] <braxis> fsckr: Sure thing
[05:34] <moldy> how do i correctly change the hostname of an ubuntu system after the installation?
[05:34] <preaction> younghacker, `man kill` will tell you the default signal, i'm pretty sure it's sigint, but it might be sigterm.
[05:34] <erUSUL> badar: no, you can not go to feisty from dapper directly you have to go to edgy first
[05:34] <erUSUL> !upgrade | badar
[05:34] <ubotu> badar: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:34] <delude> help: my laptop totally freezes occasionally with 7.04 while not doing anything (browser and messengers open only), how do i diagnose such a problem, is there some sort of log or something?
[05:35] <preaction> younghacker, (sigterm being "terminate nicely", whereas sigkill is "look, i'm just warning you that i'm about to rip out your process stack and memory. kthxbye")
[05:35] <erUSUL> delude: logs are in /var/log/ (check messages and syslog)
[05:35] <GeekShadow> hi
[05:35] <moldy> preaction: it's SIGHUP iirc
[05:35] <bighil> moldy: use System->Administration->Network program
[05:35] <tck-afk> was chkconfig ever part of Debian ?
[05:35] <younghacker> i see
[05:35] <GeekShadow> I release Uubntu Ice Cream 1.0 today !
[05:36] <GeekShadow> http://www.enregistrersous.com/images/2/59124325620070724173445.html
[05:36] <younghacker> cool
[05:36] <moldy> bighil: thx
[05:36] <preaction> moldy, yes, that's the one
[05:36] <younghacker> lol nice way of putting it
[05:36] <tck-afk> or didit always user update-rc.d
[05:37] <sparrw> Can anyone recommend WYSIWYG page layout software that can visibly arrange text across multiple pages that will be trimmed?  For making banners and such.  I know a lot of graphics programs can "just do" that sort of printing, but I want to see where the page breaks will be while editing.  InDesign can almost do it.  Scribus apparently can't.

[05:38] <younghacker> but it killed the nc's
[05:38] <younghacker> and the ping

[05:39] <Pici> !anyone | PleaseHelpUbuntu
[05:39] <ubotu> PleaseHelpUbuntu: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:39] <braxis> fsckr: I don't even have another monitor plugged in right now... I could care less about dual monitors until I can change the res on the first one ><
[05:39] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> good call
[05:39] <delude> could time sync freeze my pc?
[05:39] <braxis> fsckr: The second monitor has not been plugged in once since I installed ubuntu
[05:39] <jhaig> needhelp: I don't know what the problem is, but is there any reason you cannot just leave it with sda first in the boot sequence?
[05:39] <sussebass> network settings says wireless is ok and lets me select the correct network to connect to, but there are no lights on my pcmcia card and internet is not working. what to do next?
[05:40] <fsckr> braxis: yea i understand that but was just asking if its the same
[05:40] <fsckr> is it an lcd or crt?
[05:40] <jhaig> needhelp: Sorry, I misread it - I thought it said "grub boots OK"
[05:40] <braxis> CRT
[05:40] <osxdude|down> jhaig: needhelp needs to go into his BIOS settings
[05:40] <pr4bh> hi, a problem: im trying to install new intel drivers link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943&highlight=intel+drivers+810 .. the problem is .deb package fails, says 'dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe).. can anyone tell me what that error means?

[05:40] <needhelp> jhaig: If you saw the link, the reason for not having sda (the SCSI disk) the first in boot sequence, is that then Windows XP loads, and I cant enter ubuntu
[05:41] <fsckr> i know its breezy but the options in xorg are the same
[05:41] <badar> erUSUL:  thanx for the help

[05:46] <fsckr> erUSUL: that was going to be my next thing for him :)
[05:46] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:46] <jawsh> wow
[05:46] <jawsh> issues
[05:46] <Masterkong> does that mean i need to upgrade to testing.. or can this be solved with backports?
[05:46] <osxdude|down> needhelp: you are sying if grub loads and you choose windows, it loads with an error
[05:46] <needhelp> osxdude|down: exactly
[05:46] <alexboyuk> oops... it's not in the admin group on the remote box... sorry folks.. me being retarded
[05:46] <sprudelwasser> /leave
[05:46] <jawsh> wolf? is your wireless device one supported/works with ubuntu?
[05:47] <sprudelwasser> /leave #ubuntu
[05:47] <sprudelwasser> gna
[05:47] <wolfiebuntu> yes, i've seen a few sites that talk about it. one of them suggests compiling acer_acpi and combining it with madwifi
[05:47] <Soliko> hi, [newbe==me]  someone please point me how to start configuring ubuntu 7.04 display driver?
[05:47] <pr4bh> :S
[05:47] <osxdude|lap> oh crud low battery here
[05:47] <Masterkong>  / part is the command sprudelwasser
[05:47] <jawsh> so, it's in the "list" ?
[05:48] <jawsh> from past experience...i'd say if it's not in the list for that device and version.  get out the trusty o'l ndiswrapper
[05:49] <jawsh> I had to do that with Damn Small Linux on an old compaq lappy with a linksys wireless card
[05:49] <pr4bh> im trying to install new intel drivers link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943&highlight=intel+drivers+810 .. the problem is .deb package fails, says 'dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe).. can anyone tell me what that error means?
[05:49] <_imran_> are there any applets for ubuntu?
[05:49] <wolfiebuntu> jawsh, it is in the list, i'm just having trouble compiling acer_acpi. would you consider the ndiswrapper to be easier though?
[05:49] <nitrocks> am I able to use grub without a linux partition installed on my computer?
[05:50] <nitrocks> my issue is that I restored my disk using clonezilla and now when i try to boot into windows I get a message "error loading operating system".  when I use the live cd (which will display a grub menu), If I select "Boot parition 2 on hard disk 1", I am able to boot into windows sucessfully.  The parameters that grub supplies are rootnoverify(hd0,1) and chainloader +1.
[05:50] <jawsh> I would say so wolf
[05:50] <jawsh> but thats from my experience
[05:50] <jawsh> I had a ton of troubles with it
[05:51] <pr4bh> im trying to install new intel drivers link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943&highlight=intel+drivers+810 .. the problem is .deb package fails, says 'dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe).. can anyone tell me what that error means?
[05:51] <jawsh> I had to use ndiswrapper on a desktop running ubuntu with a wireless nic in it as well
[05:51] <blackest> heres a question if its possible for a program to create folders when needed then it shouldnt be a problem to create files in the folders it creates should it? and if this is true its not a permissions problem
[05:51] <jawsh> check out ndiswrapper on sourceforge
[05:51] <_imran_> can anybody tell me how to get compiz-fusion plugins
[05:51] <wolfiebuntu> hmm... ok brb, let me review the ndiswrapper instructions again
[05:52] <needhelp> Hi, I'm just trying to install Ubuntu 704 with dualboot for WinXP. I have some problems I dont know what to do about. If anyone please can check here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31109/ and tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
[05:52] <Masterkong> nitrocks, i think you need the /boot folder in linux for grub to work
[05:53] <nikin> hy... is there any good GUI for movie transcoding? i need ogg2avi and avi2ogg encoding
[05:53] <nikin> or is there a way to make avidemux read ogg files?
[05:53] <bulmer> blacktest make sure the perms when creating those dirs allows the program itself to use that dir...maybe the create mask is incorrect?
[05:54] <_imran_> can anybody tell me how to get compiz-fusion plugins
[05:54] <th3man> how can i change from EDT to UTC in ubuntu?
[05:54] <blackest> needhelp what are you trying to do exactly it shouldnt be an issue to dual  boot xp / ubuntu grub sorts it out for you
[05:55] <Keit1> Anyone tell me an easy way to get a geforce 4400 working in Ubuntu? :(
[05:55] <Frogzoo> th3man: tzconfig
[05:55] <blackest> ok bulmer so if i check the folder permissions then that should indicate who gets to use them
[05:55] <jawsh> th3man: www.ubuntuguide.org
[05:55] <dyrne> Keit1: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx; sudo nvidia-xconfig
[05:56] <fialar> anyone know why ubuntu has no /etc/alsa dir? And dmix doesn't seem to work?
[05:56] <Frogzoo> fialar: /etc/default/alsa ?
[05:57] <bullgard4> What is the unit of measurement of the timestamps in the /var/log/dmesg file? Example: '[    5.132000] '.
[05:57] <dyrne> Keit1: what problems you running into?
[05:57] <fialar> Frogzoo: no, the file that should be in /etc/alsa.. alsa.conf
[05:57] <fialar> with all the settings
[05:57] <fialar> that has ALSA dmix and such
[05:57] <fialar> I can't find any kind of alsa config file
[05:57] <needhelp> blackest: I already have Windows installed, and have just installed Ubuntu 704. What exactly I'm trying to do, is setting up the dualboot/grub properly. But if you see the link, I have a little problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31109/
[05:58] <th3man> Frogzoo: thanks, just need that command :)
[05:58] <fialar> it's an ALSA library configuration file
[05:58] <fialar> has stuff in it like:  pcm.dmix { @args [ SLAVE FORMAT RATE ]  ..... etc
[05:58] <blackest> grub normally sets it up for for you automagically
[05:59] <_irql> needhelp - looks like you've screwed your windows installation. put the Windows CD in your drive and boot to it, then run the recovery console
[05:59] <Fah> when X starts, is there a way to dictate where the cursor initially appears? I'd like it to not be in the center of the display
[05:59] <_irql> you need to copy hal.dll from the i386 directory on the CD
[05:59] <fialar> someone I know who has a fedora box.. can have >1 program using ALSA simultaneously and it plays to sound card.. but Ubuntu/Debian distros, seems only one app can access sound card at a time. I thought ALSA was supposed to fix all this?
[05:59] <needhelp> blackest: it did, but not properly
[05:59] <fialar> is Ubuntu/Debian broken when it comes to ALSA?
[06:00] <blackest> did you install grub to the mbr
[06:00] <_irql> problem is, chances are you've screwed other files while you were installing.
[06:00] <osxdude|lap> !jp | kabus_jp
[06:00] <ubotu> kabus_jp:  #ubuntu-jp  #kubuntu-jp
[06:00] <wolfiebuntu> jawsh: i gotta restart. the ndiswrapper instructions look too easy to be true! let's see what happens
[06:00] <Masterkong> fialar, you need esound or something like it to play more than 1 sample at a time
[06:00] <wolfiebuntu> brb!
[06:00] <osxdude|lap> lets see if he quits
[06:00] <needhelp> _irql: no, WinXP loads and works fine as long as GRUB does not load.
[06:00] <wolfiebuntu> thanks man
[06:00] <_imran_> what make graphics card is better: ATI or nVidia GeForce?
[06:01] <_irql> needhelp: sorry, didn't realise that. Only just spotted your plight :P
[06:01] <wolfiebuntu> imran, i'd say nvidia because their linux support is slightly better
[06:01] <mindshift> which video driver does ubuntu use as default after a normal installation, is it vesa?
[06:01] <Masterkong> mindshift, nv
[06:01] <Beyond_The_Grave> Does anybody know of a good mixer for ubuntu?
[06:01] <Masterkong> for me anyway
[06:01] <needhelp> _irql: okay :) please check this link to get a understanding of my problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31109/
[06:02] <Beyond_The_Grave> Anything that can mix anything regardless of the program
[06:02] <_irql> needhelp, I checked that, but I'm a bit of a Linux newbie. I'm pretty good at solving Windows issues though.
[06:02] <blackest> needhelp ok I think what you probably need to do is reinstall grub to the mbr which is relatively easy if you look on ubuntu forums you will find step by step help
[06:03] <Beyond_The_Grave> Anybody?
[06:03] <Masterkong> what do you mean Beyond_The_Grave ?
[06:03] <needhelp> blackest: not sure where it installed itself to. Probably on hda or hda1
[06:03] <blackest> in what order are your partitions ?
[06:03] <Masterkong> alsamixer?
[06:03] <Beyond_The_Grave> Yeah, like that
[06:04] <Juhaz> needhelp, how do you change to "boot sequence"? bios?
[06:04] <blackest> i think xp likes to be on the first and ubuntu will sit happily where ever you put it
[06:04] <fialar> Masterkong: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8882 <- I think that may fix it
[06:04] <needhelp> Juhaz: yes
[06:04] <Beyond_The_Grave> But I'd like one that can handle any soundcard or program
[06:04] <Juhaz> it probably doesn't have anything to do with grub, but rather the boot sequence itself, if I'd have to guess, windows switches drive letters or otherwise looks it's stuff from the wrong place.
[06:04] <fialar> problem is.. why isn't is enabled by default in Ubuntu?
[06:04] <NotGuilty> "World", I've just installed firestarter. Is it recommended, to have it boot at startup, and how would one give it the proper  permission, as it asks for root permission to run it at start?
[06:05] <needhelp> blackest: the orders of the partitions (and the problem) can be seen here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31109/
[06:05] <NotGuilty> setuid firestarter executable?
[06:05] <Beyond_The_Grave> So, what about CAM?
[06:05] <kshahnjd> is anyone using anything other than vsftpd? cause i can't stand it
[06:05] <pr4bh> hi im on a laptop thats got intel 915gm chipset.. what drivers do i need to install to get 1280x800 resolution? theres mention of i810, 915resolution, or the intel ones.. i dont know which ones the best out of these, so if any kind sould can tell me which one to go for, and possibly the way to install it thatd be great
[06:05] <needhelp> blackest: as you'll see, Windows is already first...
[06:06] <dyrne> NotGuilty: it will setup rules at bootup automaticlly. you can see this if you sudo iptables -L  normally by default youd just get a few inbound outbound forward labeled ACCEPT with firestarter ran itll have alot more stuff but it only needs to set the rules not run all the time
[06:06] <_irql> anyone know what lib I should use for cryptography in C?
[06:06] <fatbrain> does newest nvidia binary support PureVideo?
[06:06] <_irql> like SHA256 and Rijndael
[06:06] <bullgard4> Where can I change the display format of dates of Gnome applications within the past week (e. g. Today, 00:40) to that more usual format of all the other days (e. g. 24 Jul, 00:40)?
[06:06] <codecaine> im righting a shell script to use a program called whipe in gnome2/nautilus.scripts so when I right click I can choose it how can I make the choosen file deleted?
[06:07] <pr4bh> hi im on a laptop thats got intel 915gm chipset.. what drivers do i need to install to get 1280x800 resolution? theres mention of i810, 915resolution, or the intel ones.. i dont know which ones the best out of these, so if any kind sould can tell me which one to go for, and possibly the way to install it thatd be great
