[12:04] <Sascha|> heh
[12:04] <Black_Cat> Emperor, it's funny, the only link i've found there it's a .deb one: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>.0ubuntu1~7.04.1_i386.deb
[12:04] <Alys> Hello
[12:05] <abrahammer> hey pals i have a question about partitioning
[12:05] <zbrahead91> Go on
[12:05] <NemesisD> marx2k, lol i killed gnome baker but its still got a hold of my dvd burner
[12:05] <Emperor> Black_Cat: I'm using an AMD64 not an i386. =/
[12:05] <abrahammer> which software do you use
[12:05] <marx2k_> NemesisD: oh man...
[12:05] <Emperor> Soz.
[12:05] <abrahammer> for partitioning a brand new disk
[12:05] <marx2k_> its probably not dead yet
[12:05] <zbrahead91> But never call me your pal
[12:05] <marx2k_> NemesisD: in terminal, "killall gnomebaker"
[12:05] <[nrx] > abrahammer: try gparted
[12:05] <rocunreal> marx2k_, Section "Device"
[12:05] <rocunreal> 	Identifier	"Generic Video Card"
[12:05] <rocunreal> 	Driver		"nv"
[12:05] <rocunreal> 	BusID		"PCI:5:0:0"
[12:05] <rocunreal> 	VideoRam	256
[12:05] <abrahammer> ok sorry man
[12:05] <bascule> NemesisD: hdparm -w /dev/hd? and then hold eject button on drive
[12:05] <Alys> I have an External HDD that's formatted Ext3, how do I force a journal check onit?
[12:06] <rocunreal> marx2k, i changed mine to that and saved it
[12:06] <marx2k_> rocunreal: whats that videoram bit doing in there?
[12:06] <rocunreal> marx2k, now im gonna restart
[12:06] <marx2k_> ok
[12:06] <rocunreal> marx2k, i set it to 256
[12:06] <FFighter> Is samba installed by default on Feisty
[12:06] <FFighter> ?
[12:06] <rocunreal> marx2k_, i set it to 256 because my Video card is a 256mb video card so
[12:06] <rocunreal> marx2k_, i altered it before so
[12:06] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: hmmm same error
[12:07] <zbrahead91> Has GParted got that feature.
[12:07] <killaz> what is the path to my DVD drive?
[12:07] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: and it only let me pick from a list of resolutions
[12:07] <abrahammer> any experts on partitioning here??
[12:07] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: it will ask for the driver, then resolutions.
[12:07] <bascule> abrahammer: what is the problem?
[12:08] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: it only asked for a res
[12:08] <rocunreal> marx2k_, restarting now ill tell ya what happens, Thanks for spending so much time helping me i really  appreciate it!
[12:08] <abrahammer> bascule i want to partition a new disk but i've heard most programs can ruin disks
[12:08] <bascule> ?
[12:08] <killaz> the problem is this: I have a DVD with some avi's on it. And I want to map mplayer to the path of the disc so I can watch the avi's
[12:08] <abrahammer> like partition magic ashampoo and stuff
[12:08] <abrahammer> which do you recommend?
[12:08] <bascule> cfdisk
[12:08] <[nrx] > LOL
[12:08] <[nrx] > :x
[12:08] <[nrx] > sorry
[12:09] <bascule> :)
[12:09] <NemesisD> marx2k, its strange something is really slowing down my computer a lot, it takes like 30 seconds for my commands to show up, also gnomebaker is gone but it still persists
[12:09] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: you can also do:     sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf    ;  look for Section "Device"  , and change driver to  "nv"
[12:09] <abrahammer> was that LOL for me?
[12:09] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: that's what the dpkg-reconfigure would do
[12:09] <[nrx] > bascule: you can't have a newbie using cfdisk :/
[12:10] <abrahammer> oh i see
[12:10] <abrahammer> xD
[12:10] <[nrx] > abrahammer: what exactly do you want to do?
[12:10] <abrahammer> i don't want crappy programs for newbies
[12:10] <bascule> abrahammer: maybe, cfdisk is a cli util with curses interface like old dos fdisk, but *much* better
[12:10] <nickrud> Emperor: adobe hasn't released a 64bit flash
[12:10] <[nrx] > abrahmer, in that case... use cfdisk.. but you gotta know what you're doing :)
[12:10] <abrahammer> i understand difficult programs are often better
[12:10] <abrahammer> ok
[12:10] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: the driver already says nv
[12:10] <Emperor> nickrud: :(
[12:10] <[nrx] > abrahammer: but gparted is good enough :)
[12:11] <abrahammer> is it?
[12:11] <[nrx] > abrahammer: all depends what you want to do :)
[12:11] <bascule> abrahammer: it's fairly stright froward to use, move about with arrows and return selects things
[12:11] <abrahammer> i want to partition a new disk
[12:11] <abrahammer> make 3 primary partitions
[12:11] <abrahammer> and one extended
[12:11] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: BusID is "PCI :2:0:0"
[12:11] <nickrud> Emperor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins
[12:11] <abrahammer> with ntfs ext3 and vfat partition
[12:11] <[nrx] > abrahammer: well, try them out.. if it's a blank disk, you can't really go wrong. you can always re-write the mbr etc
[12:12] <bascule> abrahammer: any disk util can do that, part magic and co are problematic at resizing and moving cause thet can corrupt partition tables
[12:12] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: in the error it said there wasn't a monitor
[12:12] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: you can go the long path:  dpkg-reconfigure  xserver-xorg , that will ask every question. It's possible it's the bus id,
[12:12] <abrahammer> oh i see
[12:12] <bascule> abrahammer: partitioning a new disk is easy and clean
[12:13] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: but if you have networking, you can install pastebinit and pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log . That should have detailed errors
[12:13] <abrahammer> great, then do i have to get cfdisk from the internet?
[12:13] <abrahammer> (i will chek gparted and cfdisk :))
[12:13] <[nrx] > abrahammer: they both come with ubuntu
[12:13] <bascule> well the chances are it's installed already in ubuntu
[12:13] <abrahammer> cool
[12:14] <abrahammer> so i put in the live cd
[12:14] <abrahammer> terminal, cfdisk
[12:14] <abrahammer> and thats it?
[12:14] <[nrx] > abrahammer: wait, are you partitioning this disk to install ubuntu on it?
[12:14] <bascule> abrahammer: cfdisk will work well and will support all 3 tyoes you mention
[12:14] <abrahammer> yes
[12:14] <bascule> types*
[12:14] <[nrx] > abrahammer: there's no need then, just fire up the live cd.. it'll do all the work for you
[12:14] <abrahammer> but i also want to organize the whole disk
[12:15] <abrahammer> one partition for ubuntu another for installing debian later and so
[12:15] <[nrx] > abrahammer: there is a manual partition edit section in the installer
[12:15] <abrahammer> oh i see
[12:15] <bascule> dunno if the installer will allow of offer an ntfs drive
[12:15] <nickrud> Monitor.
[12:16] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: do you have networking?
[12:16] <abrahammer> i prefer to organize the whole disk first
[12:16] <abrahammer> then install ubuntu
[12:16] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: it said no screens found?
[12:16] <bascule> that is actuallty trickier abrahammer if you don't know mount points and such like
[12:16] <genii> abrahammer: Practical :)
[12:17] <[nrx] > pft, just stick the live CD and let it do whatever it wants
[12:17] <[nrx] > :D
[12:17] <xshad> hi guys, and ladies ;)
[12:17] <bascule> lamao
[12:17] <abrahammer> hahah
[12:17] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: yea
[12:17] <[nrx] > hi xshad
[12:18] <abrahammer> ok, i just wanted to make sure my disk won't burn or be corrupt or anything after using gparted or partition magic
[12:18] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: ummm should it say PCIX:2:0:0 since its in a PCI express slot?
[12:18] <abrahammer> or whatever
[12:18] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: not quite the same thing as no monitor; it means it couldn't create a screen definition
[12:18] <rocunreal> =(
[12:18] <stmiller> Anyone using Feisty 64bit and Wine packages from winehq: Can you run winecfg and under the audio tab tell me if you have an option for jack? I can't figure out why my jack is missing and want to know if it is 64bit related.
[12:18] <[nrx] > abrahammer: it's fine.. because the disk is empty already, you're safe
[12:18] <rocunreal> marc2k_, didn't work :(
[12:18] <abrahammer> cool
[12:18] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: no, it's all pci this or that
[12:18] <abrahammer> see ya after i finish
[12:18] <abrahammer> thanks
[12:18] <rocunreal> marc2k_, i lost my GUI and had to use Vesa or w/e its called
[12:18] <[nrx] > abrahammer: have fun :)
[12:18] <bascule> abrahammer: it only breaks stuff if you are moving and resizing and stuff, again a new disk is clean and easy
[12:19] <blue|fox> Hi everyone :> I'm experiencing very choppy/static-filled audio in sun's java 6 jdk in feisty, particularly in applications where both sound and graphics are being used simultaneously :/ Anyone know of a way I might be able to resolve this?
[12:19] <genii> abrahammer: If you had a pre-existing ntfs partition you would need to make sure it was marked clean before partitioning and resizing.
[12:19] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: is there any way you can show me the whole /var/log/Xorg.0.log?   if you have net, pastebinit will do it
[12:19] <cjae_> have hp a700n a Samsung CDRW/DVD SM-352F that opens and closes right after it opened the box it dual boot and happens under both oses
[12:19] <andruk> how do i install packages for LaTex (specifically looking for the "here" package) on Feisty?
[12:19] <rocunreal> I am so freaken screwed ::((((((((((((((((
[12:20] <abrahammer> i see, thanks for the advice genii
[12:20] <cjae_> you have a second to put in disc
[12:20] <abrahammer> chau!
[12:20] <genii> cjae_: Doesn't sound like an ubuntu issue

[12:21] <akrill> oh, sorry.
[12:21] <andruk> how do i install packages for LaTex (specifically looking for the "here" package) on Feisty?
[12:21] <akrill> anyway so i just installed ubuntu using the manufacturer mode... and i didnt set a username or password but now i need one?
[12:21] <akrill> well, i take that back. i set a password. no username
[12:21] <DexterF> !backports
[12:21] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[12:21] <cjae_> genii the reason I ask is only when you are done running a live disc of UBUNTU and it asks you to remove it and press enter to reboot
[12:22] <genii> cjae_: What you can do is hit the Pause key during bios. then use eject button on drive to insert a cd before hitting any other key to continue normal operation
[12:22] <cjae_> does it stay open
[12:22] <Manignug> does anyone know how to look and write to the raw data of a harddisk?

[12:30] <bascule> :)
[12:30] <killaz> [nrx] : it is not that I cant play videos at all. I cant play videos on a DVD-RW
[12:30] <rocunreal> nrx, ive been having this problem for hours man
[12:30] <rocunreal> nrx, im going crazy now its so frusterating
[12:30] <[nrx] > rocunreal: understandable, but pasting it every 60 seconds wont help
[12:30] <killaz> I can play movies on my HD, I can play a DVD, but cant play a VCD
[12:30] <genii> cjae_:  eject -t /dev/cdrom                 or /dev/dvd    if applicable
[12:30] <[nrx] > killaz: just with dvd-rw media then?

[12:32] <stmiller> Has anyone ever built wine on 64bit? I know there are packages, but has anyone here tried from source? Any problems?
[12:32] <d4rkmonkey> stmiller why not just use their repos?
[12:32] <genii> Pici: I had issues with it on a netboot install. Only -t worked for kicking it out and reloading
[12:33] <Pici> hm
[12:33] <stmiller> d4rkmoney : the provided wine packages for 64bit seem to not have jack support
[12:33] <killaz> [nrx] : why uh huh?
[12:33] <d4rkmonkey> stmiller jack support?
[12:33] <[nrx] > killaz: i'm waiting for more info lol.

[12:33] <killaz> [nrx] : :-)
[12:34] <[nrx] > killaz: what exactly is the problem.. can you mount the dvd and see the files.. you just can't play them or?
[12:34] <d4rkmonkey> N3M3575 they should install automatically, you shouldn't need to worry about it. Do you get errors or something?
[12:34] <bascule> killaz: if you browse to the dvd/cd dir under /media/? and then drag them into totem/gxine what happens?
[12:34] <bascule> them being the .avi s
[12:35] <killaz> [nrx] : nice analysis..... the problem starts with the fact that /media /mnt doesn't show me any dvd drive when I eneter the VCD
[12:35] <genii> VSpike: At least you should separate /boot so it's always reachable
[12:35] <cmak_> is there a gnome applet for maildir checking?
[12:36] <DexterF> anyone here running a 2.6.22 from feisty-backports? can't see headers, where are they?
[12:36] <bascule> i thought VCD had to be mpg ... ?
[12:36] <erUSUL> cmak_: gnubiff
[12:36] <killaz> [nrx] : this seems not be a problem with DVD, since I can play DVD
[12:36] <akrill> I have a "Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card" and i cant get it to work with Ubuntu 7.04
[12:36] <akrill> any ideas?
[12:37] <DjViper> akrill: try both the bcm43xx driver and the ndiswrapper driver
[12:37] <[nrx] > killaz: i think bascule is right... VCD's are generally MPEG's. Are you sure you have the right codecs installed for it?
[12:37] <akrill> DjViper: alright, will do
[12:37] <cmak_> erUSUL: ty
[12:37] <killaz> [nrx] : the only drives I see in the /media dir are cdrom0 and cdrom1
[12:38] <[nrx] > killaz: and if you put in a dvd.. what do you get? /media/dvd?
[12:38] <bascule> and are those dirs empty?
[12:38] <SpudDogg> I have a major problem:  I had an IDE drive in my desktop dual-booting Ubuntu Feisty/Winblows.  Now, I installed a SATA drive and tried to install gutsy to it.  I keep getting grub error 17"Cannot mount selected partition".  Please help!
[12:38] <killaz> [nrx] : hold on
[12:38] <killaz> [nrx] : let me try that
[12:38] <SpudDogg> I am trying to run BOTH drives
[12:38] <[nrx] > killaz: it could be that your drive doesn't support the media you're putting in?
[12:39] <killaz> [nrx] : Oo Lite-On DVD drive not supporting data?
[12:40] <[nrx] > killaz: no.. not supporting the media.. you get different kinds of DVD's remember
[12:40] <bascule> killaz: how did you make the disc? I sit burned as type VCD or is it data ..
[12:40] <killaz> bascule: data
[12:40] <Ch1ppy> hey, can anyone offer me a non-gui way to renew my DHCP lease?
[12:40] <genii> cjae_: Incidentally alternate firmware for your drive is here  http://www.cdfreaks.com/devices/COMBO/Samsung/SM-352F.html     If you have no windows install, make a bootable floppy from a bootdisk.com floppy image with the dd command, then put the file and the flash utility on it.
[12:41] <t94xr> DVD burners vary in quality, DVD themselves vary in versions, theres DVD+R DVD+RW DVD-R DVD-RW DVD+R/DL DVD-R/RW
[12:41] <bascule> well it should just contain the avi as data files in the /media/<the_drive> dir after inserting and hald gnome-volume-manager doing it's thing

[12:43] <bascule> then cd /media/cdrom1 && ls -l
[12:43] <killaz> bascule: is /dev/hdd the device for a dvd?
[12:44] <manu_> killaz: depends your config
[12:44] <bascule> it depends on the drive you used, /dev/hdd is the secondary slave in terms od IDE channels and their naming convention
[12:44] <manu_> killaz: look at your fstab
[12:44] <Orange_tea> How i install steam into wine when the files is msi?
[12:44] <bascule> killaz: I am assuming you are using a second(bottom) drive in a desktop
[12:44] <Ch1ppy> can anyone help me refresh my DHCP lease?
[12:45] <Orange_tea> How i install steam into wine when the files is msi????
[12:45] <manu_> Ch1ppy: dhclient maybe
[12:45] <Pici> Orange_tea: Might want to ask in #winehq
[12:45] <Ch1ppy> manu_: mkay, thanks
[12:45] <killaz> my fsta shows these devices /dev/scd1 and /dev/scd0
[12:45] <Orange_tea> pici i found out by testing out . Thanks anyway
[12:45] <killaz> fstab*
[12:46] <bascule> mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
[12:46] <manu_> killaz: which one is cdrom in fstab
[12:46] <bascule> killaz: if yo are using the top drive the above will do
[12:46] <rocunreal> ive tried everything i just need different drivers is it that hard to install drivers on linux i am so mad ive been trying to fix this problem for hours somebody please help me!
[12:47] <genii> Ch1ppy: sudo dhclient
[12:47] <killaz> manu_: cdrom is softlink with cdrom0 cdrom -> cdrom0
[12:47] <manu_> so nobody can help on modif to do on a liveCD
[12:47] <bascule> rocunreal: /j #nvidia
[12:47] <manu_> killaz: ls -l /dev/cdrom0
[12:47] <rocunreal> I need different Nvidia 79000 GS Drivers somebody help me please!
[12:47] <VSpike> genii: I have a feeling the initrd should make it work, but as you say, it would feel a lot safer that way..
[12:48] <killaz> manu_: /dev/cdrom -> scd1
[12:48] <Ch1ppy> genii: oh duh, thanks
[12:48] <manu_> killaz: so dvd is scd1
[12:48] <rocunreal> bascule, it aprears that there are nobody in that channel :(
[12:49] <genii> Well, see all in about an hour.

[12:49] <Ch1ppy> manu_: it seems that I got the same IP as before :S
[12:49] <wcham> Why is there no emerald-themes package?
[12:49] <manu_> Ch1ppy: no more idea sorry
[12:50] <astro76> martin123, espanol or portugese?
[12:50] <rocunreal> Ok nothing works idk why this is so hard to install updated drivers can somebody help me?
[12:50] <dashfiel> Does anyone know where mysql (daemon) keeps its logs under Ubuntu? I want the process error logs, not the database logs. :)
[12:50] <bascule> rocunreal: well rather unhelpfully of me I would suggest trying to build from the NVIDIA*.run with kernel-sources installed, but I am not talking you through it, I have done it 1000 times in my time and I really can't be bothered, but it is the best line of attack on this prblem IMO
[12:50] <martin123> espaol
[12:50] <killaz> manu_: lol, but still ls -al /media/cdrom, /media/cdrom0 or /media/cdrom1 gives me an empty dir
[12:50] <astro76> !es | martin123
[12:50] <ubotu> martin123: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:50] <Ch1ppy> manu_: :S okay, thanks anyways
[12:50] <martin123> y como hago eso
[12:51] <manu_> killaz: what do you want to do exactly ?
[12:51] <martin123> soy nuevo en esto
[12:52] <maddash> awful quiet in here
[12:52] <bascule> *BANG*
[12:52] <bascule> :)
[12:52] <kazol> Can Ubuntu be installed to an external hd and dual-booted with m$?
[12:52] <astro76> martin123, Este canal solamente ingls
[12:52] <killaz> manu_: I want to be able to see the data I have on a DVD burned....
[12:52] <VSpike> martin123: pon "/join #ubuntu-es"
[12:52] <capo> hello
[12:52] <killaz> manu_: seems this is a very hard thing for me to figure out :-)
[12:52] <capo> how do i undo "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -root"?
[12:53] <dashfiel> Heck, *does* ubuntu's mysql daemon keep error logs?
[12:53] <wasabi> capo: "undo" it?
[12:53] <wasabi> capo: Stop the glmatrix program.
[12:53] <capo> ok, how do i go about that?
[12:53] <VSpike> rocunreal: have you tried using envy?
[12:53] <dappermuis> dashfield, check /var/log
[12:53] <wolfsong> I'm following this tip on disabling unused consoles and it says to edit /etc/inittab but when i use "sudo gedit /etc/inittab" I get an empty file
[12:53] <rocunreal> Vsike, no i have no idea what envy is
[12:53] <wolfsong> any ideas?
[12:53] <manu_> killaz: mount /media/cdrom
[12:54] <martin123> gracias
[12:54] <rocunreal> VSpike, no i have no idea what Envy is
[12:54] <VSpike> rocunreal: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[12:54] <dashfiel> dappermuis: Yeah, that is where it should be. :) But both the .log and .err files are always empty.
[12:54] <Pici> !envy | VSpike rocunreal
[12:54] <ubotu> VSpike rocunreal: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[12:54] <rocunreal> VSpike, is it hard?
[12:54] <erUSUL> wolfsong: feisty uses upstart and not system V init any more
[12:54] <airstrike> what music player do you guys recommend other than rhythmbox/amarok/quod libet?
[12:54] <airstrike> i need something that has an EQ for god's sake
[12:54] <astro76> airstrike, try audacious (like winamp)
[12:55] <wolfsong> thanks erUSUL
[12:55] <erUSUL> wolfsong: to remove virt tty rename or erase /etc/event.d/tty* files
[12:55] <dappermuis> dashfiel, ya - i see so with mine too
[12:55] <dimas_> how do i open firefox from the terminal?
[12:55] <dappermuis> dashfiel, you probably need to enable logging somewhere
[12:55] <akrill> firefox then enter?
[12:55] <wolfsong> also does anyone know where I can create a new hotkey?
[12:55] <rocunreal> VSpike, how do i install it from the terminal?
[12:55] <dimas_> akrill thanks
[12:55] <airstrike> it even supports winamp skins.. nice
[12:55] <wolfsong> erUSUL: thanks again
[12:55] <airstrike> thanks, astro76
[12:56] <killaz> manu_: hold on just a second
[12:56] <rocunreal> how do i install envy?
[12:56] <dashfiel> dappermuis: Good call. Seems funny not to have it log at least the daemon errors by default... But what the hey, I'll check the configs.
[12:56] <dappermuis> dashfield, check out /etc/mysql/my.conf
[12:56] <dashfiel> Thanks for the suggestion.
[12:56] <dappermuis> that's my.cnf
[12:56] <rocunreal> how do i install envy?
[12:56] <akrill> hahaha woot
[12:56] <rocunreal> How do i install Envy from the Terminal?
[12:56] <akrill> DjViper: thanks, ndiswrapper worked.
[12:57] <Pici> rocunreal: envy is not supported in this  channel
[12:57] <rocunreal> Pici, does it matter? ^^
[12:57] <dashfiel> dappermuis: Ta, I'm checking it now.
[12:57] <rocunreal> Pici, to get the the code?
[12:58] <rocunreal> Pici, :(
[12:58] <dappermuis> dashfiel, np
[12:58] <rocunreal> Pici, ive been trying to fix this problem for like 8 hours straight
[12:58] <aj_> i need some advise on the best media player to use to watcm downloaded movie
[12:58] <Pici> rocunreal: You don't really need to use it.  Use the restricted drivers manager
[12:58] <bascule> rocunreal: go to bed for a while .. :)
[12:58] <killaz> manu_: damn a different problem have come up now, while dealing with this problem..
[12:58] <rocunreal> Pici, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO everyone tellsm e to use that it will give me no GUI
[12:59] <rocunreal> Pici, i will get no GUI if i do that man
[12:59] <goofy> omg, you guys, is ubuntu the crappiest distro? i've been trying for an hour to change my refresh rate to 75, it only lets me to use 50 55 60, WTF! help me please, i'm begging you!
[12:59] <VSpike> rocunreal: what actually is the problem you are trying to solve? and what have you tried?
[12:59] <manu_> killaz: sorry i must go
[12:59] <manu_> byz

[01:00] <martin123> lo siento disculpen la molestia pero diganme com entro a una chat en espaol}
[01:00] <rocunreal> Vspike, i tried to update my Video card drivers from Synaptic package manger thing and it screwed me over and gave me no GUI
[01:00] <akrill> ok, any ideas on why X will only show in 1024x768 even though the xorg.conf says to display in 1440x900
[01:00] <DjViper> akrill: np
[01:00] <rocunreal> Vspike, so i got my GUI back by using a chessy option in Xserver or w/e called VGA or something like that
[01:00] <gorga> Popular channel
[01:00] <dashfiel> dappermuis: Funny thing, they left debian.cnf in there. It is odd to see debian cruft left behind in ubuntu.
[01:00] <guidox> sound works intermitently in my kubuntu installation
[01:01] <rocunreal> Vspike, but it wasn't VGA it was worse then VGA ive tried Nvidia and NV options
[01:01] <guidox> sound works intermitently in my kubuntu installation. somtimes it works, sometimes  it does not. What can I do?
[01:01] <rocunreal> Vspike, ive tried Everything that people in this channel have told me too do
[01:01] <rocunreal> Vspike, and these guys in this channel are the Best of the Best so i am really screwed
[01:02] <rocunreal> Vspike, if the Best of the Best cant help me with this problem because it is that hard idk what too do :(

[01:02] <goofy> i changed my monitor refresh rate in nvidia-settings to 70hz but it didn't change. i even saved it in my xorg conf file. please???????
[01:02] <VSpike> rocunreal: do you know what kind of errors you get when you try to start X with nv or nvidia drivers?
[01:03] <bascule> goofy: the nvidia-settins shows non-true refresh rates for monitors

[01:03] <Emperor> Can someone help me install Flash for Firefox? I'm following a tutorial but it isn't quite working.
[01:04] <VSpike> rocunreal: did you try looking at your xorg.log, or doing startx from the console?
[01:04] <rocunreal> Vspike,  i wasn't getting good preformance with my Default Nvidia Driver so i tried to update it
[01:04] <Orange_tea> where you do you find SteamInstall.exe file?
[01:04] <VSpike> rocunreal: to the proprietary one?
[01:04] <wildnkrazy> lol

[01:05] <Emperor> Can someone help me install Flash for Firefox please?
[01:05] <rocunreal> Vspike,  i cant even freaken run blender man this stinks
[01:05] <goofy> bascule: it really is at 55hz, my eyes hurt
[01:05] <aj_> I am having problems watching movies on ubuntu 7.04
[01:05] <goofy> bascule: ok, so how can i make my monitor refresh to 75hz?
[01:05] <rocunreal> aj_, try VLC Player  google it man

[01:06] <lathropwells> synaptic kubuntu-desktop ??
[01:06] <ki4cgp> Hey, I have a USB device that shows up in my lsusb list on my session of X, but when I CTRL+ALT+F9 over to my wife's session that is running at the same time, I can't see the device with lsusb.  I probably missed a setting somewhere in gnome.  Any ideas?
[01:06] <cmak_> why is it that i sometimes dont have to enter a password when switchung to root?
[01:06] <aj_> pici:already have I got the version for windows for wine and I got the version for ubuntu
[01:07] <PriceChild> cmak_, sudo has a timeout
[01:07] <Pici> cmak_: because its still cached from the last time you used it.
[01:07] <cmak_> now what?
[01:07] <delire> cmak_: around 15minutes i believe
[01:07] <cmak_> :)
[01:07] <cmak_> cached, timed out?
[01:07] <delire> cmak_: you can sudo -k to kill the timeout.
[01:07] <aj_> I have actually got the movie to start playing but it wont play the whole movie only parts
[01:07] <cmak_> or is that the same
[01:07] <Emperor> Pici: It says the file is downloaded is not where i said it is. But it is.
[01:07] <cmak_> PriceChild Pici delire ok :)
[01:07] <pb> get this command  /etc/init.d/ssh start   to automatically start instead of typing it out in terminal after boot-up.
[01:08] <Shapeshifter> My dear people, how it is possible to add a custom menu to the gnome panel. I can't beleive that this isn't actually a standart feature included in the "add to panel" items. It's so obvious!!! Is there a downloadable "plugin" that will do that? I tried google but I don't get any answers. I just want a button to click on and then an empty menu where I can put stuff in. And not like that sticky drawer thingy that sticks to the scree
[01:08] <Pici> Emperor: How are you trying to install it? What version of Ubuntu?
[01:08] <Emperor> Pici: 7.04
[01:08] <PPPP> i found Xgl is using almost 400mb of RAM.  is that normal?
[01:08] <Emperor> Pici: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins#head-109119244b265c4b0a7cab30aab06eea14ca1728
[01:09] <Pici> Emperor: Oh... on 64bit...
[01:09] <rocunreal> Synaptic Package Manager! Give me a list of Nvidia Geforce 7900 Series Drivers to install via the Synapatic package thing please!
[01:09] <Emperor> Pici: Yeah, I had to go and install 32 bit FF. :(
[01:09] <Pici> Emperor: I'm sorry but I dont have any experience with that.
[01:10] <Emperor> Pici: But if I'm using 32 bit FF shouldn't it not make any difference?
[01:10] <aj_> Pici: I have vlc running on ubuntu, I think the biggest problem I am having is this is the first torrent I have downloaded and I can only play one file and it is like 1 minute long
[01:10] <rocunreal> Synaptic Package Manager! Give me a list of Nvidia Geforce 7900 Series Drivers to install via the Synapatic package thing please!
[01:10] <fujin_> nvidia-glx
[01:10] <fujin_> nvidia-glx-new for newer ones
[01:11] <lathropwells> okay, Norton Internet Security is holding  my boot sector hostage and gparted rebels at each attempt to ntfsresize windows recovery console won't give me back a vanilla  boot sector. - he-elp what to do next? -
[01:11] <bascule> lathropwells: norton go back removal tool
[01:12] <DiabloX> check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft
[01:12] <goofy> bascule: can u point me to a good tutorial so i can change my monitor refresh rate? debian, fedora, mandriva were ok even without nvidia drivers installed, now with ubuntu it really is a pain for me
[01:12] <lathropwells> bascule - Ahhh! Thank You very much!
[01:12] <Pici> Emperor: Where do you think you've downloaded the file and where are you looking for it
[01:12] <Pici> !spam | DiabloX
[01:12] <ubotu> DiabloX: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[01:12] <Emperor> It's on my desktop, and that's where I am with the terminal.
[01:12] <bascule> lathropwells: the revolting piece of scum hiacks mbrs and all sorts of thoroughly awful things, kill it dead and *never* install it again
[01:13] <DiabloX> Pici: nevermind, my friend said that #ubuntu bans anyone who posts a link in the channel, i was just testing it out
[01:13] <DiabloX> sorry to disturb anyone
[01:14] <lathropwells> bascule - everything even games want a place in the boot sector it seems. (securerom etc )   amazing.
[01:14] <Pici> Emperor: okay? and you can't decompress it?
[01:14] <Emperor> Pici: I can extract it if need be.
[01:14] <bascule> lathropwells: yeah, it's a crazy world now in win, everything wants to take over the system, the 'helpful' stuff is getting harder to remove than the malware :(
[01:15] <bascule> and breaks more stuff too
[01:15] <lathropwells> bascule - lol
[01:15] <Pici> Emperor: You said you were getting an error I thought.
[01:15] <bascule> :) I am a tech, I see stuff all day long that makes me cry  ;P
[01:15] <goofy> hey, doesn't any1 know hot to fix a monitor refresh rate problem in ubuntu 7.04, or no1 had any problems ever?
[01:16] <RockerMONO> =]
[01:16] <aj_> well I guess I will have to find my own answers I cant believe it I have heard how helpfull this channel was and all I get for advice is to do something I have already done then no response after that   Unbelievable
[01:16] <Emperor> Pici: Yes, when I try to install it from the terminal with the command ( tar -zxf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz ).
[01:16] <bascule> uggh, it hurts us it hurts us, nasty symantec coded it take it off take it off (LAMAO)
[01:16] <lathropwells> bascule - read something this morning in digg about MS "stealth" updates even with auto updates turned off. if the service is enabled as i understand the article the updates are pushed to the client.
[01:16] <PriceChild> !patience | aj_
[01:16] <ubotu> aj_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:17] <bascule> lathropwells: yup an all sorts like that -- you clicked "I agree" didn't you ... scumbags :(
[01:17] <aj_> I have been patient, but its ok I will figure it out myself
[01:17] <Pici> Emperor: What error do you get?
[01:18] <Emperor> tar: install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[01:18] <Emperor> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[01:18] <Emperor> tar: Child returned status 2
[01:18] <Emperor> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[01:18] <lathropwells> bascule - norton is just the least cooperative in removal. disk imaging software would like a place in  ring 0 too but it asks -before- installing itself there. (archive integerity-
[01:18] <gluttony> is there a linux version of chkdsk that i can run on a mounted drive?
[01:18] <Pici> Emperor: if you do `ls`, do you see that file?
[01:18] <PriceChild> gluttony, fsck
[01:19] <gilster> question, i just did a reinstall and wanted to know what gstreamer libs do i need to get the profiles in soundjuicer
[01:19] <guidox> is there a way to recondigure sound. it works intermitently
[01:19] <Pici> gluttony: you can force a fsck of all your drives for the next reboot.
[01:19] <Emperor> Pici: Yes, but it's a different name than the one provided by the tut.
[01:19] <Pici> Emperor: Whats the name?
[01:19] <tcleval> how can i configure console resolution?
[01:19] <Emperor> flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>.0ubuntu1~7.04.1.tar.gz
[01:19] <lathropwells> gluttony - testdisk can find lost parttions is that what you needed?
[01:19] <Pici> Emperor: Use that one in the tar command, it looks okay.
[01:20] <csc`> PriceChild: since when can you fsck a mounted drive without loss of data
[01:20] <Pirate_Hunter> hi earlier on my comp box shutdown improperly as it lost power to the mains, now does ubuntu correct and check itself for any errors or do I have to do that? im in ubuntu right now everything seems fine but is the root file system ok?
[01:20] <Emperor> Pici: Gave me the same error.
[01:20] <csc`> Pirate_Hunter: it should be fine
[01:20] <PriceChild> csc`, eeek sorry yes, didn't see that
[01:20] <PriceChild> gluttony, sorry you can't run fsck on a mounted driver...
[01:20] <PriceChild> *drive
[01:20] <csc`> Pirate_Hunter: the proper term would be "Does linux check itself"
[01:20] <bascule> Pirate_Hunter: depending on the fs used it will be fine
[01:21] <tretle__> any way of fixing grub from within windows?
[01:21] <marcus> Pirate_Hunter-  you could run a fsck after dismounting the drive would be a good idea
[01:21] <csc`> Pirate_Hunter: and it does, but not fully, you'd have to wait or run it manually for a 'full' repair
[01:21] <PriceChild> !fixgrub | tretle__
[01:21] <ubotu> tretle__: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:21] <tretle__> or installing grub from within windows
[01:21] <tretle__> or live cd?
[01:21] <PriceChild> tretle__, use the live cd to do that ^
[01:21] <csc`> tretle__: no use a live cd or an install cd
[01:21] <Pici> Emperor: do this: tar xzvf flashplug<tab>   i.e, the tab key and then press enter.
[01:21] <__mad> how do i update to gnome 2.20?
[01:21] <Pirate_Hunter> csc`, bascule: ok and thanx for the quick response and how would i unmount root to check fsck

[01:22] <Pici> Pirate_Hunter: `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot.
[01:22] <Emperor> Pici: I think it worked. :D
[01:22] <csc`> rocunreal: that looks like an archive/install script to me
[01:22] <erUSUL> rocunreal: why not use the packaged version?
[01:23] <rocunreal> Cause the Package Version isn't updated and idk what package version to use ive tried everything :(
[01:23] <Pirate_Hunter> Pici: thank you very match my good gentleman or madam
[01:23] <Pici> Emperor: good :)
[01:23] <Pici> Pirate_Hunter: no problem
[01:23] <bascule> rocunreal: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=install+linux+nvidia+drivers
[01:23] <gilster> need help with sound juicer!!  i did a reisntall of feisty and i seem to not have any codec profiles in sound juicer! what am i missing?
[01:23] <Emperor> Pici: Thanks! :)
[01:23] <csc`> rocunreal: install the one inside the repositories...the worst thing you can do if you are a noob to linux is install outside of a package manager unless it is really needed
[01:24] <fujin_> I disagree, It's probably one of the better things you can do to further your learnign.
[01:24] <csc`> ok whatever, have fun breaking stuff
[01:24] <bascule> rocunreal: bonus help -> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:24] <BT-Ubuntu> hey guys i installed the latest gutsy gibbon, and its the first time Im using linux. I updated everything but im not sure how to enable nvidia driver and use compiz-fusion
[01:24] <Pirate_Hunter> Be right back going to reboot
[01:24] <N3M3575> Hi guys, I'm new and i'm having some trouble installing flashplayer
[01:24] <rocunreal> csc`, i dont know what one to use exactly
[01:24] <Emperor> Pici: One more problem :(
[01:24] <fujin_> Although not the easiest to roll back, check-package and it's equivalent tools will let you make debian packages to handle installation/uninstallation
[01:24] <Pici> Emperor: Whats up?
[01:24] <csc`> rocunreal: use whatever you can get with apt-get(?)
[01:25] <Emperor> Pici: anthony@anthony-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo mv install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/firefox32/plugins/

[01:25] <Gothfunc> hi.  i'm trying to mount an ntfs partition, but when i mount it i don't have permission to access it.  how do i change the permission?
[01:25] <__mad> how do i check if i got a package installed?
[01:25] <rocunreal> csc`, idk what you mean use whatever you can with Apt-get?
[01:25] <csc`> fujin_: if you want to learn further about maintaining a system without a packagemanager, why not just use LFS or something
[01:25] <fujin_> because that's stupid
[01:25] <fujin_> next
[01:25] <__mad> Gothfunc use ntfs-3g
[01:25] <csc`> rocunreal: do you not even know how to install packages?
[01:25] <csc`> ffs
[01:26] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[01:26] <rocunreal> csc` i know how to install packages from the manger ya man
[01:26] <csc`> larson9999: tell us something we dont know
[01:26] <larson9999> csc`, i rock, too?
[01:26] <larson9999> betcha didn't know that
[01:26] <CaptSaltyJack> linux does rock. ;)  so does OS X
[01:26] <csc`> rocunreal: then install the nvidia packages or follow the forum post whats-his-name gave you
[01:26] <csc`> OSX is for gay people ;P

[01:27] <csc`> akrill: two laptops, three servers and a palm
[01:27] <Pici> Emperor: You need to adjust the 'install_flash_player_9_linux' part for whatever the folder name the archive decompressed to.
[01:27] <CaptSaltyJack> if OS X had a desktop interface like Beryl, that'd rock.
[01:27] <Emperor> Pici: How do I find out the folder name?

[01:28] <lathropwells> akrill - what is the best way to back up and restore a server to a newly reformatted disk?
[01:29] <csc`> rocunreal: dont judge me by what i do, i destroy ubuntu boxes for fun :D
[01:29] <csc`> lathropwells: cron job
[01:29] <Pici> Emperor: So just use that instead of the other folder name in the instructions.
[01:29] <Gothfunc> __mad: ../../lib/dump.c:191: internal error `unknown verrel' .... to be honest i just want temporary access to the partition
[01:29] <gilster> can anyone please help me with soundjuicer?
[01:29] <rocunreal> csc`, ^^
[01:29] <LjL> ...verrel?
[01:29] <csc`> wth?
[01:29] <csc`> verrel?
[01:29] <akrill> lathropwells: i use dd to copy the image directly over to the new drive (assuming the hardware is basically the same)
[01:29] <__mad> Gothfunc to get right acess on NTFS, u need some driver that allows it, ntfs-3g is the best one
[01:30] <__mad> *write
[01:30] <N3M3575> can someone help me install adobe flashplayer?
[01:30] <Gothfunc> __mad: i don't want write access...
[01:30] <csc`> why you would want write access to ntfs on linux is beyond me
[01:30] <csc`> N3M3575: rtfm
[01:30] <LjL> !flash > N3M3575    (N3M3575, see the private message from Ubotu)

[01:30] <ubotu> Acronyms or statements like  noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[01:30] <lathropwells> akrill - will that copy everything including the mbr in one step? - what do you  boot with to recieve the new image file?
[01:31] <csc`> N3M3575: there's a perfectly good instruction manual on the download spot of Adobe
[01:31] <Emperor> Pici: anthony@anthony-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo mv install flashplugin-nonfree-<IP_ADDRESS>.0ubuntu2~7.04.0/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/firefox32/plugins/

[01:31] <Gothfunc> __mad: i just want read access.  i'm on ubuntu server 7.04.  when i mount the ntfs partition, i cannot access it without sudoing
[01:31] <GNine> ntfs - windows |  linux -EXT3
[01:31] <LjL> csc`: but then again, downloading it from Adobe is a pretty bad idea, when we have it in the repositories.
[01:31] <LjL> !flash
[01:31] <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
[01:31] <gilster> bueno chicos que idioma tengo que hablar para que me alludan???

[01:31] <akrill> GNine: no, linux = anything the kernel can read ;-)
[01:31] <csc`> LjL: lol yeah, the flash tarball sucks on linux anyway :P
[01:31] <LjL> csc`: perhaps you should follow your own advice before replying ;)
[01:31] <Pici> Emperor: are you sure that install is part of the filename?
[01:31] <csc`> LjL: i do ;P
[01:32] <__mad> Gothfunc sorry man cant help you then...
[01:32] <GNine> kernel works better with EXT3
[01:32] <Emperor> >_<
[01:32] <csc`> LjL: but i use Opera most of the time so...
[01:32] <GNine> 2.16
[01:32] <gilster> i have an issue with soundjuicer showing no profiles? any ideas?
[01:32] <akrill> GNine: ya, if you're on crack. but whatever.
[01:32] <Daemonmort> #xbins
[01:32] <__mad> gnome 2.20 will be available on repo's to update the current one?
[01:33] <csc`> Gothfunc: read access is built into the kernel iirc, mount /dev/hd<poo> -t ntfs /mnt/disk
[01:33] <GNine> youre obviously very windowy , akrill
[01:33] <LjL> people, this channel is busy. please stick to ubuntu support and use #ubuntu-offtopic for the rest
[01:33] <akrill> GNine: windowy?
[01:33] <mc44> __mad: no
[01:33] <CaptSaltyJack> two quick Q's: in feisty, the wifi manager.. any way to make it #1, STOP asking me for my damn keyring passwd every time, #2, auto connect to my router upon boot, NOT upon login.  of course, I'm using Wicd now which rocks, but I'm still curious.
[01:33] <Gothfunc> csc`: i can get read access with sudo, not without
[01:33] <csc`> Gothfunc: permissions
[01:34] <Gothfunc> csc`: even if i chmod 777 the folder it still doesn't let me read
[01:34] <Gothfunc> csc`: shown too
[01:34] <LjL> !ntfs | permissions for mounted filesystems are explained here
[01:34] <ubotu> permissions for mounted filesystems are explained here: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[01:34] <Gothfunc> csc`: so "permissions" might need expanding :P
[01:34] <GNine> ha
[01:34] <csc`> Gothfunc: well what i did was, mounted my ntfs drive, copied all the stuff to my home folder, then chmodded it
[01:34] <CaptSaltyJack> !wifi
[01:34] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:34] <CaptSaltyJack> hah..  ubotu.  I see what you did there.
[01:35] <Gothfunc> csc`: do you think it's not possible to read it otherwise?
[01:35] <GNine> elementary concepts
[01:36] <Orange_tea> How much does Ubuntu os space does use?
[01:36] <mossby> http://digg.com/linux_unix/How_to_Sync_Hydrogen_with_Ardour_in_Ubuntu_Studio
[01:36] <LjL> it is you just need to mount with the right umask, options and stuff i don't remember but is explained - although a bit just by example - on thta page
[01:36] <PriceChild> Orange_tea, I "think" about 2.5Gb, but you'll want a lot more for all your own files, extra apps etc.
[01:36] <LjL> Orange_tea: i think between 2 and 3 gb for a standard install
[01:36] <GNine> Orange_tea, am going on 10 gigs right now.  bon apetite
[01:37] <GNine> originally you need about 5 gigs of space to install core system.. but thats just not going to stay that way
[01:37] <Orange_tea> When i check my gparted for my harddrive total is 14.30 gib ,. But then 4.43 gib unused...
[01:37] <mweichert> any of you guys know diff/patch well? I have two files, a & b. I want anything that is new in b (and missing in a) to be appended or merged with a
[01:38] <Shadow6363> hmm, does anyone know if/when gnome 2.2 will be available for feisty?
[01:38] <LjL> Orange_tea: then it doesn't look very soundly partitioned
[01:38] <Orange_tea> Is that normal?
[01:38] <Pici> Shadow6363: It wont.
[01:38] <marcus> Pici -  Why?
[01:38] <lathropwells> 3.63gigs is absolute minimum - 10-15gigs is a *comfortable minimum.
[01:38] <Shadow6363> Pici, no chance it'll be backported from gutsy or won't it be available for gutsy?
[01:38] <LjL> Orange_tea: ask whoever partitioned it... i wouldn't leave 4 spare gb when partitioning, unless i have a valid reason
[01:39] <Pici> marcus: Because its too much of a change to backport to feisty.  It is standard in Gutsy (which is the next version, releasing in October)
[01:39] <marcus> Ohhh
[01:39] <LjL> backports are mostly only for single applications that don't interfere with the overall system very much
[01:39] <marcus> Pici - Ok, because I was about to say "Hopefully it'll be on Gutsy" but then you said "It won't" and I took it as "ever."  :P
[01:40] <Shadow6363> thanks Pici
[01:40] <GNine> ok.. so you have a usb flash drive ?  ha!  you talk like you got only 20gigs there

[01:42] <cmak_> anyone knows how to disable startup notification in gnome?
[01:42] <LjL> Orange_tea, probably a *majority* of games won't work in wine.

[01:46] <greg> but i want it
[01:46] <PriceChild> Gate, the card works fine out the box
[01:46] <LjL> Orange_tea: if it's *installed* in that folder, maybe. it may need some registry keys and/or some stuff in windows/system32 or such, though
[01:46] <Pirate_Hunter> Im going to use Virtual Box to install M4 XP if i pull this off I shouldn't need to dual boot any more, however how much Ram should I assign to XP? Ive got 2GB and 1GB swap for ubuntu so how much of that cna i give to XP?

[01:47] <rocunreal> LjL, yes i know but ive tried them seperatly
[01:48] <PriceChild> LjL, rocunreal I "think" there's a packaging bug with the 79's... or is that just the 7950?
[01:48] <rocunreal> LjL, it will boot without an GUI with booth so i am using VGA or vesa something like that
[01:48] <rocunreal> PriceChild, its a 7900
[01:48] <LjL> rocunreal: if you pastebin the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, i'll see if i can spot anything not right
[01:48] <Larson> python-pyinotify: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be installed <-- anyone know how I can resolve this without breaking my system completely? :D

[01:49] <PriceChild> rocunreal, nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new? rocunreal could you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf anyway, and also your X logs in /var/log so we can see the error
[01:49] <rocunreal> LjL, thought you wanted me to go though it lol
[01:50] <LjL> rocunreal: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, ctrl+a, ctrl+c, then paste to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give me the url

[01:52] <rocunreal> LjL, if it was NV or Nvidia i wouldn't have a GUI right now
[01:52] <LjL> rocunreal: i would need the one with nvidia-glx on. i realize it's hard to paste it without a gui though

[01:53] <LjL> rocunreal: you'd need to make a backup from textmode - but in the meanwhile, you may paste /var/log/Xorg.log.0 as price suggested
[01:53] <Pirate_Hunter> !ask
[01:53] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:53] <LjL> rocunreal: i mean that i'd need you to paste the version of xorg.conf that you'd get with the nvidia driver, i.e. when you *don't* have a GUI

[01:54] <rocunreal> LjL, i am a complete newbie with linux man
[01:54] <bascule> Pirate_Hunter: you asked for a suggestion you got one, do your own thing
[01:54] <rocunreal> LjL, it would age 100 years before i got into that dir and pasted it on That site without a GUI
[01:54] <rocunreal> LjL, i*
[01:55] <LjL> rocunreal: that's why i said "i realize it can be hard to" etc
[01:55] <rocunreal> LjL, indeed
[01:55] <rocunreal> LjL, im just telling you how scary the word NO GUI is to me :(
[01:55] <Pirate_Hunter> bascule: i didnt intend to annoy you, just wanted to find out why such high amounts of ram, you're opinion is still appreciated
[01:55] <bascule> Pirate_Hunter: i am not annoyed, just being alowing ... :)
[01:56] <skiold2007> I have a trouble with Nvidia drivers for a HP pavillion dv6327 turion 64x2 and ubuntu feisty with amd64
[01:56] <LjL> PriceChild: do we currently have third party nvidia packages that kind of work reasonably well? amaranth's heritage, or milone's, or something
[01:56] <rocunreal> LjL, ive drank 48oz of Ice Cold black Tea since ive started this
[01:56] <lathropwells> rocunreal,  - boot up a live cd and open, copy, and paste it that way. - no gui *IS* scarey.
[01:56] <Pirate_Hunter> bascule: didnt get the last part of that but seems cheerful :)
[01:56] <Leftmost> How can I disable spellcheck without Ubuntu trying to remove ubuntu-desktop and the like?
[01:56] <PriceChild> LjL, not that I know of :/ - But I want to see what error X is giving before I give a suggestion.
[01:57] <LjL> PriceChild: well more than repeating to him to paste his xorg log, i cannot do about that
[01:57] <PriceChild> yup
[01:57] <LjL> rocunreal: forget about it for the time being and just pastebin the contents of the current /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:57] <Tomosaur> hell to the O
[01:57] <mweichert> !gutsy
[01:57] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[01:57] <bascule> Pirate_Hunter: being allowing, I was affirming that your own way is cool, and it was also a play on words, 768MB for XP can still be too little with the qmount of crap average win desktop machines collect and run in the background
[01:58] <rocunreal> LjL, okay
[01:58] <LjL> rocunreal: actually, Xorg.1.log and/or Xorg.2.log
[01:58] <LjL> rocunreal: whichever of them has "nvidia" in it
[01:58] <LjL> rocunreal: (try "grep nvidia /var/log/Xorg*" to see which one it is)
[01:59] <Pirate_Hunter> bascule: now i get it thanx its so nice having ppl like you in this channel... keep up the good work
[01:59] <bascule> :0 ok

[01:59] <bobonthenet> Could someone help me out.  I am unable to access my usb external hard drive.
[02:00] <pb> how to get the ssh server to start automatically with boot-up?
[02:00] <skiold2007> I've tried to install nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new, but It crashes my X configuration. This is the third time I had to reinstall ubuntu in this laptop.
[02:00] <LjL> rocunreal: no go i'm afraid, that's a VESA one. try another of them
[02:00] <rocunreal> LjL, did you get that new link?
[02:00] <rocunreal> LjL, ive tried like 5 or 6
[02:00] <rocunreal> LjL, including     NV and Nvidia
[02:00] <PriceChild> Ronald, not that one
[02:00] <AzMoo[w] > Hey, is there any way to remove a partition table? I think I've stuffed mine trying to configure Software RAID.
[02:00] <PriceChild> gah
[02:01] <PriceChild> rocunreal, that paste wasn't it
[02:01] <LjL> rocunreal: you need that "grep" command to show  LoadModule: "nvidia"
[02:01] <rocunreal> LjL, o srry nvm
[02:01] <LjL> that's the right file
[02:01] <rocunreal> LjL, i get what your saying now
[02:01] <Pirate_Hunter> what is the minimum HD space M$ XP can be installed to?
[02:01] <GlasstuX> hi @ all
[02:01] <rocunreal> LjL, i dont understand how to get to the Nvidia file still?
[02:01] <Pirate_Hunter> Pr should I ask what is the lowest HD space M$ XP can be installed to?
[02:01] <GlasstuX> someone here with gutsy installed?
[02:02] <GlasstuX> i need the content of /etc/fonts
[02:02] <skiold2007> I need a secure repository for install Envy
[02:02] <GlasstuX> i have replaced my original font configs with bad ones
[02:02] <vader1102> I have a MS fingerprint reader and mouse combo.... how would I go about setting the fingerprint reader?
[02:02] <LjL> rocunreal, there are a couple of similarly named files: /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/Xorg.1.log, and so on -- you need to find one that was created when you have the nvidia (and not the VESA) driver
[02:02] <rocunreal> LjL, i see what your saying now ight ill look for it man
[02:03] <AzMoo[w] > GlasstuX: #ubuntu+1
[02:03] <LjL> rocunreal: to do that, type  grep nvidia /var/log/Xorg*  and see which file(s) contain(s) the line  LoadModule: "nvidia"
[02:03] <LjL> and paste that one
[02:03] <rocunreal> LjL, i think i found it :) ill post it
[02:03] <refdoc> Hi can someone help me with sorting a broken package
[02:03] <rocunreal> Ljl, it has like a title like Xorg Old
[02:03] <Tomosaur> hi refdoc - what's the problem?
[02:04] <rocunreal> LjL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37960/
[02:04] <refdoc> I installed a non rep package which relied on a library which is in the system but under a doifferent name
[02:04] <GlasstuX> AzMoo[w] : ased there, too
[02:04] <BlindApe> hey, I'm getting this error with my video card, Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". How can I fix this?
[02:04] <rocunreal> Ljl, please says thats it
[02:04] <rocunreal> Ljl, cause the title sounds like it would be it and it see a ton of Nvidia Text in there
[02:04] <bobonthenet> Could someone help me out.  I am unable to access my usb external hard drive, worked fine a few days ago and now it doesn't seem to be recognised by this computer works fine on other machines.
[02:04] <refdoc> I linked the wrong name to gthe right name and used dpkg --force-depends -i mypakcge.deb
[02:05] <refdoc> the porgramme now works fine
[02:05] <refdoc> but synaptic is coughing angrily baout a broken package
[02:05] <refdoc> what shall I do
[02:05] <LjL> PriceChild: wasn't that (mismatching kernel module and x module) the result of a broken feisty package? something like that installing nvidia-glx-new, and then removing it for nvidia-glx, resulted in that problem -- i cannot remember exactly
[02:05] <skiold2007> So, does anybody know a stable repository for install Envy?
[02:05] <BlindApe> hey, I'm getting this error with my video card, Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". How can I fix this?
[02:05] <LjL> !envy
[02:05] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[02:05] <lividity> Anyone know how to check mail in bitchx? I've read the man page but I can't figure it out.
[02:05] <PriceChild> LjL, yeah, i think i know how to fix this
[02:06] <PriceChild> LjL, who's error is this?
[02:06] <rocunreal> LjL, please say its it
[02:06] <LjL> PriceChild: rocunreal's at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37960/
[02:06] <Tomosaur> do you get an actual error message, refdoc?
[02:06] <LjL> rocunreal: it is
[02:06] <PriceChild> ah missed that one
[02:06] <rocunreal> !envy
[02:06] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[02:06] <refdoc> Yes refdoc says the package is broken and refuses to install anything else
[02:06] <BlindApe> hey, I'm getting this error with my video card, Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". How can I fix this?
[02:07] <LjL> !repeat | BlindApe
[02:07] <ubotu> BlindApe: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:07] <rocunreal> LjL, so just past that entire Text into my Current Xorg File?
[02:07] <Pirate_Hunter> I just figured out m$ lies and they are bad at it, if im reading this right their site states that windows xp home edition can be installed onto a HD of 1.5GB which I know is a lie since I have it... the amount of crap on that is not suitable to allwo than especially when you do updates
[02:07] <LjL> rocunreal: nonono, that's just a log to let us see which errors occurred
[02:07] <rocunreal> LjL, can never be simple ;(
[02:07] <Tomosaur> ok, close synaptic / any other package management software you have open, then open up a terminal and type the following command: 'sudo apt-get update -f'
[02:08] <LjL> rocunreal: it is for many people, then there are the unlucky ones. but surely, the fact that those nvidia drivers are closed source and all don't help with making it more seamless
[02:08] <PriceChild> rocunreal, just writing out instructions
[02:08] <jsg> hey, clicked on "remove from panel" over my 'applications' dropdown menu, now its gone, how do i get it back?
[02:08] <rocunreal> LjL, guess i am one of the unlucky ones :(
[02:09] <LjL> jsg: "add applet"?
[02:09] <skiold2007> Ok, but is there a really secure procedure to install Nvidia drivers (from Nvidia web page) for my laptop?
[02:09] <rocunreal> LjL, i really appreciate you helping me with this tho man not many people would spend this much time on 1 question
[02:09] <pb> ubotu; how to start ssh server at boot start
[02:09] <rocunreal> LjL, or 1 person
[02:09] <LjL> pb: just install it, i think it'll start by default
[02:10] <pb> actually it hasn't since install
[02:10] <rocunreal> LjL, you know what i mean lol
[02:10] <Leftmost> How can I disable spellchecking without uninstalling aspell?
[02:10] <refdoc> Tomosaur - thsi has not fixed the problem
[02:10] <jsg> how do i return the 'applications' and 'systems' menus to default?
[02:10] <PriceChild> rocunreal, can you "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx", "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable", "sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed"
[02:10] <LjL> rocunreal: my suggestion would be to try nvidia-glx-new again (or nvidia-glx, if the one you have installed right now is nvidia-glx-new), and after installing it, doing a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".  i knew there was a problem with those packages that resulted in the error i can see in your logfile
[02:10] <pb> i type in terminal /etc/init.d/ssh start
[02:11] <PriceChild> rocunreal, (that's with a clean xorg.conf)
[02:11] <LjL> PriceChild: right, that dotfile was it
[02:11] <Tomosaur> ok refdoc - did it give you any information?
[02:11] <Pirate_Hunter> lol i just figured out I can use Virtual box to run other linux distro I haven't tried out yet... but the problem I have no clue which distro I want to try out :(
[02:11] <PriceChild> rocunreal, ie, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" or restore a backup first
[02:12] <rocunreal> LjL, that propalby wont work will it?
[02:12] <refdoc> tomosaur the actual command - no. I then tried apt-get upgrade and got an error messageThe following packages have unmet dependencies.
[02:12] <refdoc>   ircp-tray: Depends: libopenobex-1.0-0 (>= 1.0.0-rel) but it is not installable
[02:12] <refdoc> E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
[02:12] <jsg> skiold2007, you can attempt to install your drivers through the kernel in startup mode
[02:12] <rocunreal> pricechild, i think i tried that too man ;(
[02:12] <LjL> rocunreal: probably not. but what pricechild is saying probably will
[02:12] <PriceChild> rocunreal, please just try it
[02:12] <LjL> !info libopenobex-1.0-0
[02:12] <ubotu> Package libopenobex-1.0-0 does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:12] <skiold2007> Do you know how can I install the last version of Nvidia drivers?
[02:12] <rocunreal> PriceChild, ok ill try i gotta read what you said again im not too good with linux lol
[02:12] <PriceChild> skiold2007, why do you want to?
[02:12] <jsg> skiold2007: you can attempt to install your drivers through the kernel in startup mode
[02:13] <refdoc> I know, but libopenobex1 fulfills the dependency
[02:13] <PriceChild> refdoc, where is this package from?
[02:13] <skiold2007> It's because Nvidia-glx crashes my Xorg configuration
[02:13] <jsg> skiold2007 , restart ubuntu and in grub choose 'recovery mode'
[02:13] <PriceChild> jsg, I don't know what you are suggesting at all?
[02:13] <netham45> does anyone have an iptables tutorial handy
[02:13] <skiold2007> recovery mode fails too.
[02:14] <LjL> rocunreal: he's saying: type  ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf*  and see if there are any backup files listed. if yes, choose the one with the oldest date
[02:14] <Tomosaur> refdoc, try uninstalling that package, and use the one from this page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/libopenobex-1.0-0
[02:14] <netham45> !iptables
[02:14] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:14] <PriceChild> skiold2007, ok could you give us the error message, or an X log from /var/log
[02:14] <LjL> rocunreal: if there isn't any, then you'll have to type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg  and go through the questions, but you can leave the defaults to just about all of them
[02:14] <jsg> pricechild , the way i installed my nvidia drivers, was i configured the x-server through recovery mode
[02:15] <LjL> rocunreal: then, once that's done,  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx  followed by  sudo nvidia-glx-config enable  followed by  sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed
[02:15] <PriceChild> jsg, we don't suggest that here.
[02:15] <rocunreal> rm: cannot remove `/lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed': No such file or directory
[02:15] <PriceChild> rocunreal, LjL then "sudo rmmod nvidia" to make sure everything's unloaded
[02:15] <skiold2007> I don't have it because I've finished to reinstall the entire system again.
[02:15] <rocunreal> rm: cannot remove `/lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed': No such file or directory
[02:15] <PriceChild> rocunreal, ignore it and carry on then
[02:15] <refdoc> tomosaur I have this library
[02:15] <rocunreal> okay what next?
[02:15] <LjL> PriceChild: though i don't like that :|
[02:15] <rocunreal> ive got to that point
[02:15] <PriceChild> LjL, hmm?
[02:15] <jsg> pricechild , alright, just pointing out what worked for me
[02:16] <LjL> PriceChild: i hoped that file was there
[02:16] <PriceChild> !worksforme | jsg
[02:16] <ubotu> jsg: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[02:16] <refdoc> tomosaur my problem is ircp-tray which I got from glinux
[02:16] <PriceChild> LjL, yeah... maybe he --purged it along the line or something... not sure if that would catch it... if this doesn't work, we'll get a new X log and see?
[02:16] <jsg> ubotu , got it
[02:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about got it - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:17] <rocunreal> PriceChild,
[02:17] <bobonthenet> I'm having trouble with my usb devices can someone help me with this?
[02:17] <Tomosaur> ok refdoc - try installing it from this page: http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Ircp-Tray
[02:17] <rocunreal> PriceChild, ive done this so far "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx", "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[02:17] <LjL> PriceChild: talk for yourself, it's two am and i'm not waiting for a reboot to textmode followed by a reboot to vesa mode to get a log :P
[02:17] <Tomosaur> remember to remove the version you've installed now
[02:17] <rocunreal> PriceChild, ive got 2 of the peices entered and done
[02:17] <PriceChild> LjL, gah was hoping you would stay :D
[02:17] <rocunreal> PriceChild, what do i do now?

[02:17] <airstrike> does anyone know what that means?
[02:17] <PriceChild> rocunreal, ok, now "sudo rmmod nvidia"
[02:17] <PriceChild> rocunreal, then restart X and cross your fingers
[02:17] <airstrike> i get that everytime i boot
[02:18] <netham45> airstrike: I used to get that too, I was able to ignore it.

[02:18] <PriceChild> rocunreal, ignore that, carry on
[02:18] <ki4cgp> Hey, I have a USB device that shows up in my lsusb list on my session of X, but when I CTRL+ALT+F9 over to my wife's session that is running at the same time, I can't see the device with lsusb.  I probably missed a setting somewhere in gnome.  Any ideas?
[02:18] <Emperor> Could someone help me install flash for Firefox please? I'm running a 64-bit system here and I have been trying a tutorial but it isn't working very well.
[02:18] <refdoc> Tomosaur I think this will work
[02:18] <rocunreal> PriceChild, i am scared
[02:18] <airstrike> i wonder if it's something important
[02:18] <jsg> thanx all, cheerz
[02:18] <Tomosaur> no problem, let us know if it works out :)
[02:18] <PriceChild> !flash64 | Emperor
[02:18] <ubotu> Emperor: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[02:18] <rocunreal> PriceChild, i dont feel like restarting ^^
[02:19] <LjL> rocunreal: if it fails, you can always switch back to VESA... you did it once, i suppose you know how to do it again
[02:19] <rocunreal> PriceChild, are you sure i should restart?
[02:19] <PriceChild> rocunreal, if it doesn't work, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -pcritical" and restart X and all will be fine
[02:19] <PriceChild> rocunreal, just X
[02:19] <Emperor> PriceChild: I've been following that tutorial, it didn't work.
[02:19] <rocunreal> LjL, i do
[02:19] <PriceChild> !doesn't work | Emperor
[02:19] <ubotu> Emperor: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[02:19] <rocunreal> LjL, but its so gay getting there and coming back and feeling like a losser because it didn't wokr
[02:19] <netham45> !wysiwyg

[02:19] <erisco> how can I clear my terminal command cache? I have some very dangerous commands in there right now (sudo rm -rf *) and I really would NOT want an accident
[02:19] <refdoc> tomosaur - this worked fine!
[02:19] <PriceChild> rocunreal, please don't use gay as a derogatory term.
[02:19] <Tomosaur> cool :)
[02:19] <LjL> rocunreal, it might be a nuisance, but it's hardly gay
[02:19] <rocunreal> Sorry
[02:19] <kitche> erisco, delete .bash_history
[02:19] <PriceChild> erisco, remove them from, or the file ~/.bash_history
[02:19] <rocunreal> I will not use that word in here again
[02:20] <LjL> still, you've got a problem with your nvidia drivers, you can't just pretend it's alright. most likely you *will* have to fiddle around a little more
[02:20] <rocunreal> Alright
[02:20] <Emperor> PriceChild: Flash will do nothing for me. I did everything the tutorial said and YouTube says I don't have Flash.
[02:20] <rocunreal> Ill be back with VESA i bet
[02:20] <rocunreal> But ill try
[02:20] <refdoc> tomosaur - bye
[02:20] <PriceChild> rocunreal, if this doesn't work, i'll suggest remove --purge'ing nvidia-glx, then -glx-new, removing that . file again and hoping
[02:20] <Tomosaur> bye bye :)
[02:21] <rocunreal> Wish me luck Cause nobody will

[02:22] <pkern> Hi, is it possible to install Ubuntu with harddisk encryption turned on via the desktop image or is the alternate installer required?
[02:22] <LjL> gluttony: mounted drive - no
[02:22] <erisco> kitche, PriceChild, thank-you very much. You have probably just saved me from myself :P
[02:22] <gluttony> oh
[02:22] <LjL> gluttony: well, you can run it to check it, but not to make any changes to it (i.e. fix it)
[02:22] <PriceChild> pkern, nope, you'll have to install it custom and scary :)

[02:23] <pkern> PriceChild: That disappoints me very much now, having loaded the wrong image.
[02:23] <x05> alguien sabe, por que si pongo mount -o gid=100 /dev/sdb1 /media/backup
[02:23] <gluttony> LjL, what if i unmount the drive?
[02:23] <PriceChild> pkern, that's not a standard install of any distro...
[02:23] <pkern> PriceChild: So another reburn tomorrow morning. From alternate i386 to desktop amd64 to alternate amd64...
[02:23] <LjL> gluttony: then you can use "fsck", and learn how to use it by typing "man fsck"
[02:23] <pkern> PriceChild: d-i supports it, that one I know. ;)
[02:23] <LjL> !fsck
[02:23] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.  I don't advise it
[02:24] <rocunreal> PriceChild,  AND LJL I LOVE YOU GUYS!
[02:24] <LjL> rocunreal: cool
[02:25] <marcus> \test
[02:25] <LjL> failed
[02:25] <marcus> wah-wah...
[02:25] <pkern> PriceChild: Harddisk encryption in general?
[02:25] <rocunreal> I Wish i could do something for You Guys for helping me for so long!
[02:25] <bascule> never upgrade your kernel? :P
[02:25] <gluttony> LjL, how do i find the moint point
[02:25] <LjL> PriceChild, "perhaps", i "suppose" today you have a fetish for quotation marks around words that express "doubt"? :P
[02:26] <PriceChild> pkern, well it just seems like a hell of a lot of effort... will make recovery extremely awkward, and just eww
[02:26] <LjL> gluttony: the mountpoint is simply the directory it is mounted at
[02:26] <PriceChild> LjL, that's the one
[02:26] <rocunreal> aahahhahaahha
[02:26] <AzMoo[w] > What's the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server edition?
[02:26] <PriceChild> pkern, basically if someone has physical access to your hard drive... you lose.
[02:26] <gluttony> LjL. O.o
[02:26] <LjL> gluttony: type "mount" for a list of all things you have mounted - drive name and mount point
[02:26] <pkern> PriceChild: Not with encryption, that's the point.
[02:26] <rocunreal> PriceChild, can you tell me what you told me too do beofore in case i run into this problem agian?
[02:26] <PriceChild> AzMoo[w] , option to install things like lamp, dns servers during install
[02:26] <pkern> PriceChild: Exactly in case someone gets hold of the hardware.
[02:26] <PriceChild> pkern, only delays the attacker if they have physical access
[02:27] <rocunreal> PriceChild, cause i doubt most people will have the About of skill you have
[02:27] <PriceChild> rocunreal, use the restricted driver manager, instead of messing with apt
[02:27] <bobonthenet> help!  I can't use my usb hard drive and I need to get some files from it!
[02:27] <rocunreal> PriceChild, so if i ran into this problem again it would take me hours to track down a person with your Skill level
[02:27] <pkern> PriceChild: I beg to differ. They would be forced to brute-force it. With a sufficient long passphrase and sensible key lengths I should be ok.
[02:27] <rocunreal> be right back
[02:27] <LjL> rocunreal, then just don't mess with your nvidia drivers anymore, now that they're working ;)
[02:27] <AzMoo[w] > PriceChild: if I just do a command line install from the alternate iso and install the packages manually it'll be the same though, right?
[02:27] <PriceChild> rocunreal, calm down and go use your machine.... don't use "sudo" for a few days and be happy
[02:28] <pkern> PriceChild: The only thing I care is not if they could break it in a few years time, but if they could access the data immediately.
[02:28] <PriceChild> pkern, exactly... and it'll eventually break
[02:28] <probun> hello ALL..  Question : does ENVY know that older nvidia cards need an other driver? or does it try to install the new driver even on gf4 cards?  or is it smart and fetches the driver for the retro cards of it detects gf4 and lower
[02:28] <pkern> PriceChild: If they try hard enough, yeah.
[02:28] <PriceChild> pkern, heard of rainbow tables?
[02:28] <PriceChild> !envy | probun
[02:28] <ubotu> probun: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[02:28] <Pirate_Hunter> Does anyone here use virtual box, if they do how do I assign usb to the windows machine and other options?
[02:28] <pkern> PriceChild: But then it shouldn't be too hard for them to break the symmetrical keys used in GPG encryption.
[02:29] <pkern> PriceChild: If they have that much processing power.
[02:29] <pkern> PriceChild: Nope.
[02:29] <jack_jimmy> I keep getting a message when saving in OpenOffice writer about certain types of formatting not being saved. I couldn't find anything about this on their site. What types of things cannot be saved in MS WORD format?
[02:29] <probun> ?
[02:29] <PriceChild> pkern, we're going extremely offtopic > #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:29] <Timmy> can anyone help me?
[02:29] <Pirate_Hunter> !ask
[02:30] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:30] <probun> i just need to know if envy will automaticly install the older driver for older cards or tries to install the new one without knowing it should not for older cards
[02:31] <PriceChild> probun, read the message from ubotu (ie we don't support envy here)
[02:31] <Tomosaur> bobonthenet - I may not be able to help you all the way, but do you get any error messages or anything like that?
[02:31] <Pirate_Hunter> does anyone here use any virtual machine I dont think the settings would be that different?
[02:31] <alecw1> How do I refresh the networks available on ubuntu?

[02:33] <jack_jimmy> I keep getting a message when saving in OpenOffice writer about certain types of formatting not being saved. I couldn't find anything about this on their site. What types of things cannot be saved in MS WORD format?

[02:35] <optimarcusprime> illriginal - what mp3 player
[02:35] <optimarcusprime> ?
[02:35] <Tomosaur> jack_jimmy, in my experience it seems that custom line-art and stuff like that can get a bit mangled if you save in MS-Word format
[02:35] <Tomosaur> but it's just a variety of stuff, best option is to just never use MS-Word formats
[02:36] <illriginal> it's a toshiba
[02:36] <illriginal> F10

[02:44] <russ_> test
[02:44] <zefzzz> Hi
[02:44] <devtrash> illriginal, can you paste your dmesg output to pastebin?
[02:44] <zefzzz> I gave a problem !
[02:44] <illriginal> type dmesg ?
[02:44] <devtrash> russ_, I give you a C-
[02:44] <russ_> bummer
[02:45] <Soskel> I am interested in mirroring ubuntu, but my HDD isn't large enough to fit the file... :(    Is there a way I can directly upload it to my server?
[02:45] <bobonthenet> tomosour: you get the pm I tried to send?
[02:45] <zefzzz> I had desktop effect enabled and I deactivated the nVidia driver , after reboot I cant login my session (the screen is waite) , how can I desable display effect from the emmergincy terminal ?
[02:45] <devtrash> illriginal, dmesg > output.txt
[02:45] <Tomosaur> bobonthenet - nope
[02:46] <jack_jimmy> Tomosaur: I was afk for a minute, sorry. You said "custom lineart and stuff" gets messed up sometimes. But I have to use MSWORD to send documents for work. Will basic things like tables, margins, and spacing be formatted properly?
[02:46] <illriginal> devtrash, http://pastebin.com/d2fce5d32
[02:47] <bobonthenet> tomosour: how do I send a pm?
[02:47] <zefzzz> illriginal help pleaser
[02:48] <Tomosaur> jack_jimmy - it should be fine, I have to do the same myself quite often. Tables, margins and spacing I've never had a problem, it's just when I've drawn diagrams and stuff directly into OpenOffice that problems show up when opened in MS-Word
[02:48] <devtrash> illriginal, okay give me a few seconds
[02:48] <smoenux> zefzzz: the following command will take you through a setup process to reset the nvidia drivers:
[02:48] <Tomosaur> bobonthenet, which IRC client are you using?
[02:48] <smoenux> zefzzz:
[02:48] <bobonthenet> xchat
[02:48] <illriginal> thank you :P
[02:48] <Tomosaur> ok, right click on my name, then click 'Open Dialog Window'
[02:48] <smoenux> zefzzz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:48] <bobonthenet> I tried just right clicking on your name and selecting private chat but that didn't work
[02:48] <bobonthenet> I don't have that option
[02:49] <Tomosaur> ok i sent you a pm
[02:49] <smoenux> I have a dependency problem (python-setuptools), after I tried to install Pida. Is there anyone that could assist? http://pastebin.com/d251ae37f
[02:49] <ajw1> quick question... as a nonroot user if i do "ulimit -c 50000" it works, then if i do "ulimit -c 0", then try "ulimit -c 50000" again, i get operation not permitted...  any idea why?
[02:49] <zefzzz> smoenux this will activat drivers ?
[02:49] <smoenux> bobonthenet... check if your side panel isn't hidden
[02:49] <jack_jimmy> Tomosaur: If I use gimp and create diagrams in JPEG format that should be fine right? Are there any other types of things you've had problems with? I'd love to switch to Ubuntu, but it is vital for my work that
[02:50] <bobonthenet> I see the chat in the side panel but you said you didn't get the pm
[02:50] <jack_jimmy> I can send msword docs...
[02:50] <smoenux> zefzzz, that command will give you a setup process... when you get to the video driver, choose nv... that will give you the basic driver (but no 3D accel tho)
[02:50] <ajw1> nvm, h vs s
[02:50] <Timm1> how to enable my ALSA driver? i never uninstalled it, but suddenly it's missing from my ubuntu?
[02:50] <smoenux> zefzzz, it will at least let you get into your ui, so that you can do stuff, and try get it up and running again
[02:50] <Tomosaur> jack_jimmy - images will be fine
[02:50] <jack_jimmy> Tomosaur: Thanks for you time and help.
[02:50] <smoenux> zefzzz, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:51] <Tomosaur> bobonthenet - I don't know wht the problem could be then - try using pastebin
[02:51] <devtrash> illriginal, is uhci_hcd a module?
[02:51] <bobonthenet> tomosaur: ok that I know
[02:51] <Tomosaur> :)
[02:52] <Tomosaur> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[02:52] <smoenux> I have a dependency problem (python-setuptools), after I tried to install Pida. Is there anyone that could assist? http://pastebin.com/d251ae37f
[02:52] <zefzzz> smoenux 7.04 .. I think the problem is that I have display effects enabled without nvidia drivers , the best is to diactivate it directly from the emmergency terminal, no way to do this ?
[02:52] <illriginal> i'm not sure devtrash
[02:52] <bobonthenet> tomosaur: http://pastebin.com/d71631559
[02:53] <smoenux> hmm... that I don't know...
[02:53] <Tomosaur> kk
[02:53] <devtrash> illriginal, do lsmod |less and check
[02:53] <smoenux> zefzzz, have you tried that command to see if it works?
[02:53] <Tomosaur> bobonthenet - I assume the Western Digital is your usb drive?
[02:53] <bobonthenet> tomosaur: I believe so
[02:54] <crabgrass> this might not be the right place to ask, but what's the easiest way of converting a single, already vobcopy'd .vob to x264+audio+mkv?
[02:54] <bobonthenet> tomosaur: I don't have anything else WD
[02:54] <Tomosaur> ok, in the terminal, try the following commands:
[02:54] <illriginal> usbcore               134280  9 usb_storage,libusual,ndiswrapper,rt73,hci_usb,us
[02:54] <illriginal> bhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
[02:54] <illriginal> oops :x

[03:05] <xeer> hi everyone, when booting ubuntu (not recovery) i get presented with a terminal asking for my login. how can i set it up to automatically login the gnome session manager?
[03:05] <astro76> rocunreal, it should be as simple as installing flashplugin-nonfree (sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree) have you tried this?
[03:05] <jrib> rocunreal: are you using feisty?
[03:05] <rocunreal> jrib yes
[03:05] <rocunreal> astro76 ill try that
[03:06] <Tomosaur> bobonthenet, that's strange
[03:06] <bobonthenet> tomosaur: well it did something
[03:06] <sh3l1> xIke, just google gnome themes and find a startup theme and then drag it onto the second tab of the login window manager (administration>login window_
[03:06] <vader1102> night folks :)
[03:06] <jrib> rocunreal: then you just visit a page that requires flash in firefox, and click on the "install addition plugins" button in the yellow bar that pops up at the top of the page
[03:06] <sh3l1> the shutdown option is gone from my the quit session thingy.
[03:07] <rocunreal> Package flashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:07] <rocunreal> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[03:07] <rocunreal> is only available from another source
[03:07] <smoenux> phew
[03:07] <smoenux> finally
[03:07] <Tomosaur> it looks like it mounted the usb bus directory or something
[03:07] <Zemmy> Does anyone have any tips on this disk?
[03:07] <smoenux> rocunreal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2895086
[03:07] <xIke> sh3l1, login themes effect menus?

[03:08] <sh3l1> xIke, http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/
[03:08] <jrib> rocunreal: I didn't tell you a command
[03:08] <sh3l1> the shutdown option is gone from my the quit session thingy.
[03:08] <xIke> sh3l1, I've used a number of different login themes, but these don't effect my menu...
[03:08] <rocunreal> jrib, o
[03:08] <rocunreal> lol
[03:08] <cimnik029> is there any way to set the width of a character in gvim? some bold characters, like 'w', get clipped on the right side in gvim
[03:08] <xIke> I'm talking about the application, places, system, etc.
[03:08] <dfletcher> slack-ware is over-there, not-here hehe :)
[03:08] <smoenux> rofl
[03:09] <sh3l1> xIke, you mean the thingy that says "starting nautlius, etc..."
[03:09] <Tomosaur> bobonthenet, you should probably just unmount that for now - 'sudo umount ~/usbdrive'
[03:09] <xIke> sh3l1, no
[03:09] <cimnik029> characters like 'w' and 'm'
[03:09] <smoenux> rocunreal... you have any success?
[03:09] <sh3l1> xIke, do you mean the one that you type your password in then?
[03:09] <xIke> sh3l1, I'm logged in right now.  at the top I have 3 menus: applications, places, and system.  I want to change the way these look when I expand them
[03:10] <sh3l1> xIke, OHH!
[03:10] <xIke> sh3l1, part of the gnome panels
[03:10] <rocunreal> smoenux, dont know yet following the steps
[03:10] <sh3l1> xIke, right click applications and the edit menus
[03:10] <smoenux> right... it's really easy
[03:11] <xIke> sh3l1, yeah...no appearance options there...I guess I'm not being clear.  I want to change the way they look- as in, foreground/background colors
[03:11] <smoenux> rocunreal... check the 1v1 chat I opened with you
[03:11] <wastrel> despicable
[03:11] <cimnik029> how do i change the monospaced font for gksudo
[03:11] <bobonthenet> tomosaur: thanks for the help, I've written down the stuff we tried so that should help me tackle this tomorrow I'll have more time.
[03:12] <wastrel> xIke:  there's a couple of alternate menu applets but i don't think there's much in the way of configuring the apperance of the menu bar
[03:12] <sh3l1> xIke,  then you need to install a gnome theme. go to art.gnome.org and then install one of the themes that themes the whole thing (some of them just get the border)
[03:12] <Tomosaur> ok, i need to bugger off myself actually :P
[03:12] <Tomosaur> hope you get it working!
[03:12] <bobonthenet> tomosaur: for now if I don't get off of here my girlfriend will think I love this computer more than her.
[03:12] <wastrel> ah true you can do it in the gnome theme
[03:12] <Tomosaur> hahaha
[03:12] <bobonthenet> ttyl
[03:12] <Tomosaur> later :)
[03:12] <rocunreal> smoenux, i dont see any 1v1 chat for some reason ive tried opening one with you tho just now
[03:13] <cimnik029> is there any way to change the monospaced font for programs that are open with gksudo?
[03:13] <xIke> sh3l1, I'm using emerald for my themes...  does that effect the panels or just window decorations?
[03:13] <smoenux> rocunreal... hmm... check the side panel?
[03:13] <rocunreal> smoenux, nothing
[03:14] <rocunreal> smoenux, im sure 100%
[03:14] <sh3l1> xIke, it should work for panels, you just need to find one that themes this as well. also, be sure to get an emerald compatiable theme
[03:14] <rocunreal> smoenux, propably my ISP its terrible
[03:14] <sh3l1> the shutdown option is gone from my the quit session thingy.
[03:14] <smoenux> rocunreal, ok... lol... nvm .... lets just do it here... I'll talk you through it... but lets hope it doesn't get too crowded
[03:14] <sh3l1> the shutdown option is gone from my the quit session thingy, can anyone help me?
[03:14] <xIke> sh3l1, alright, thanks
[03:14] <AzMoo[w] > Why is it that when I do `vol_id /dev/md0` it returns a different UUID to `mdadm --examine --scan` ?
[03:14] <rocunreal> smoenux, blocks certain ports
[03:14] <smoenux> rocunreal, do you have the link open?
[03:14] <sh3l1> xIke, glad to be of service
[03:14] <netham45> !lamp
[03:14] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[03:15] <rocunreal> smoenux, lets go to #test
[03:15] <BMT> hello to all
[03:16] <newubuntuser> ok im sick of looking for it can some one tell me how to change permissions to a file
[03:16] <VoX> newubuntuser: chmod
[03:17] <jrib> !permissions > newubuntuser (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:17] <newubuntuser> vox: chmod /filename/filename    is that what your saying
[03:17] <smoenux> newubuntuser: you can also right-click a file and go to permissions... if you prefer a gui method
[03:17] <zefzzz> smoenux
[03:17] <smoenux> yo ?
[03:17] <VoX> newubuntuser: look at the private message from ubotu
[03:18] <zefzzz> this didnt the job :S
[03:18] <newubuntuser> smoenux: yes i know but it doesnt give me the option to change them
[03:18] <jrib> newubuntuser: what are you changing permissions to by the way?
[03:19] <zefzzz> need to - disabledispay effect - OR - enable nVidia driver - from the emergency terminale
[03:19] <newubuntuser> jrib: /etc/msql/my.cnf
[03:19] <jrib> newubuntuser: why?  you shouldn't need to
[03:20] <st33med> Hello, is anybody good at solving wireless problems here?
[03:20] <newubuntuser> jrib i need to configure the file so it works on my network
[03:20] <xeer> hi everyone, when booting ubuntu (not recovery) i get presented with a terminal asking for my login. how can i set it up to automatically login the gnome session manager?
[03:20] <jrib> st33med: best to just ask the channel your next question and see if anyone knows the answer
[03:20] <newubuntuser> jrib i need to change the ip
[03:20] <tunedout> I made modified an ethernet cable a while ago so my dual ethernet card computer can provide internet access to the other. whats the name of that type of cable ?
[03:20] <jrib> newubuntuser: you use sudo to edit it, so for example:  gksudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[03:20] <zefzzz> any help please
[03:20] <jrib> !please > zefzzz (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:20] <astro76> tunedout, crossover
[03:20] <xeer> tunedout, do you mean a crossover cable?
[03:21] <st33med> channel?
[03:21] <jrib> !sudo > newubuntuser (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:21] <st33med> how?
[03:21] <tunedout> yeahh crossover thats what its called !
[03:21] <tunedout> :)
[03:21] <zefzzz> ^^
[03:21] <tunedout> thanks
[03:21] <sh3l1> the shutdown option is gone from my the quit session thingy, can anyone help me?
[03:21] <st33med> hit the power button
[03:21] <jrib> st33med: just state your next question here
[03:21] <st33med> oh
[03:21] <tunedout> I cant seem to get a connection on my xp computer through my ubuntu one
[03:21] <whta> how long will it be til the gnome update is in the repos? will it be at all?
[03:21] <Timm2> please, how to enable my ALSA driver again?
[03:22] <tunedout> anyone ever try
[03:22] <xeer> i guess this channel is mostly for non boot question.. eh
[03:22] <Timm2> my computer is totally mute, i need help to enable my sound again
[03:22] <jrib> st33med: because when you ask "does anyone know about X?"  someone will say, "yeah, I know about X".  And then you ask your question and they say "oh I don't know about that."  So best to just ask your question directly and if someone knwos the answer, they will try
[03:22] <xeer> Timm2, start by uninstalling alsa and reinstall using a guide if you need help
[03:23] <jrib> whta: what gnome update?
[03:23] <st33med> I have random disconnects from my network, and I have a problem with startup on network
[03:23] <Timm2> i've reinstall ALSA
[03:23] <Timm2> do you have another guide?
[03:23] <jrib> xeer: system -> administration -> login window should let you login automatically
[03:23] <xeer> Timm2, i have a lot of guides. you can go to google.com
[03:23] <st33med> I also have the WPA2 encryption following the WPA2 guide

[03:24] <xeer> jrib, sorry i don't have that menu item
[03:24] <whta> jrib: wasn't gnome 2.20 just released?
[03:24] <Timm2> when i look in the sound setting from the control center, my ALSA driver still there... but in the mixer section, it's only OSS, no ALSA
[03:24] <bhuey_> how can I get the latest gnome packages for ubuntu ?
[03:24] <st33med> sh3ll, usually hitting the power button brings up a the menu.
[03:25] <jrib> whta: ah, then no, it will not be in feisty repos ever.  It will be in the next release of ubuntu 7.10 due in october and you can upgrade to that then
[03:25] <don_pucci> bhuey...use update manager
[03:25] <jrib> !timebasedreleases > whta (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:25] <st33med> and you can right click the tray, click "add to panel" and add the shutdown icon
[03:25] <jrib> xeer: are you using GNOME?
[03:25] <bhuey_> don_pucci will this get me the latest gnome stuff that was freshly released today ?
[03:25] <don_pucci> oh...
[03:25] <st33med> oh s3ll left

[03:25] <bhuey_> er, 2.20
[03:26] <jrib> xeer: and gdm?
[03:26] <astro76> bhuey_, see what jrib just told whta ;)
[03:26] <xeer> jrib, yes i have gdm installed.. though it seems it is not working. i have it set to run in my rcconf
[03:26] <jrib> xeer: wait, do you just want to go back to the graphical login?
[03:26] <au_> hej all.. someone who could help me? I've put a program into /etc/rc.local so it should start every time I turn the computer on but it simply doesn't do anything.. it's "su au -c 'screen rtorrent'"
[03:27] <xeer> jrib, yeah that'd be nice
[03:27] <st33med> Have you tried removing the exit 0?
[03:27] <preaction_> !boot | au_
[03:27] <ubotu> au_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[03:27] <jiam> au  su au -c ?
[03:27] <jrib> xeer: well, try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' to try
[03:27] <astro76> au_, it would be sudo, not su, but you wouldn't use either in rc.local
[03:27] <astro76> !boot | au_
[03:27] <BMT> once again ..hello...i am still banging my head on this vlc problem....please someone look at this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37962/    and let me know if you can help...thanks
[03:28] <wastrel> su au -c  is correct
[03:28] <wastrel> but i agree rc.local isn't the place for it
[03:28] <xeer> jrib, reports it being broken. update manager didn't report any broken packages.. hrm.. i've already reinstalled from the package
[03:28] <st33med> where then
[03:28] <wastrel> au_:  cron
[03:28] <au_> wastrel: so what's the place?
[03:28] <au_> wastrel: no! cron loads program every specified time
[03:28] <wastrel> au_:  put it in the system crontab.  man 5 crontab  and search for the @reboot
[03:28] <newubuntuser> ok can someone help me with this error #2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on '<IP_ADDRESS>' (111)
[03:29] <Noah0504> Can anyone help me to get Sound Juicer to encode MP3s at 160KB/s?
[03:29] <jrib> xeer: you could try purging it and installing it again
[03:29] <astro76> wastrel, ah yes, completely misread that command ;)
[03:29] <BMT> i have already added these two lines to my xorg.conf : Option "VideoRam" "65536" / Option "CacheLines"  "1980"
[03:29] <wastrel> although,
[03:30] <Pirate_Hunter> I have just installed and used my first virtual machine using m$ xp :) im proud of that and didnt need help in doing so l0ol
[03:30] <xeer> jrib, thanks for your advice
[03:30] <wastrel> au_:  you'll probably want to start screen in the detached mode
[03:31] <john_davis> I have a Linksys WUSB11 wireless networking device that I use to connect to the net. I don't have an ethernet cable around. I do have a USB memory stick though, so when I go to a friends house, I can download the right drivers and then put them on the computer w/ the WUSB11. What do I need to get to set up USB networking? Is the stuff already in the default 7.04 desktop install?
[03:31] <sixpence> I want to close my X without having it restart, how do I friggen do that with Ubuntu?

[03:33] <jrib> BMT: no, it zaps it, gdm is responsible for the restarting
[03:34] <sixpence> Could someone tell me off hand the hex value for a dark gray?
[03:34] <jrib> sixpence: you're offtopic
[03:34] <john_davis> sixpence: try 010101
[03:34] <sixpence> john_davis: Thanks =D
[03:34] <john_davis> sixpence: try 040404 maybe
[03:34] <SirCharles428> is there a reason my httpd.conf file is blank for apache2?
[03:34] <Frogzoo> sixpence: any colour selector option will show that
[03:34] <john_davis> keep increasing to get darker
[03:34] <jrib> sixpence: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf is probably what you want
[03:35] <Frogzoo> SirCharles428: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ?
[03:35] <BMT> can anyone help me with my vlc issue ?
[03:35] <sixpence> Frogzoo: Well i'm in CLI. Good luck with that
[03:35] <Jaggz-> I want to try ubuntu server.. what's happening after 6.06?
[03:35] <SirCharles428> Frogzoo: Yep
[03:35] <jrib> SirCharles428: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf is probably what you want
[03:35] <Mr1> Can anyone tell me how to go about making my 2 hard drive Read and Write?
[03:35] <jrib> Mr1: what fielsystem?
[03:35] <jrib> Jaggz-: what do you mean?
[03:35] <Mr1> i386
[03:35] <xIke> gack, my mouse has messed up...right-clicking on things in nautilus doesn't bring up contextual menu
[03:35] <Frogzoo> SirCharles428: apache2.conf
[03:35] <SirCharles428> jrib: k, thnx
[03:36] <Jaggz-> in terms of the support, I notice it's only until 2008 for 7.04
[03:36] <Jaggz-> but 6.06 is supported until 2011
[03:36] <Frogzoo> Mr1: repartition & format as ext3
[03:36] <don_pucci> just did update on gutsy and lost scroll functionality on my touchpad...
[03:36] <Jaggz-> is a new version due soon?
[03:36] <Mr1> I have all my movies and music on it
[03:36] <Frogzoo> don_pucci: we don't do gutsy here -> #ubuntu+1
[03:36] <AzMoo[w] > Why is it that when I do `vol_id /dev/md0` it returns a different UUID to `mdadm --examine --scan` ?
[03:37] <don_pucci> it was just a comment frog
[03:37] <don_pucci> relax
[03:37] <Frogzoo> Jaggz-: gutsy's due rsn
[03:37] <Frogzoo> !gutsy
[03:37] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[03:37] <jrib> Jaggz-: it's LTS (Long Term Support).  The next LTS will be 8.04 and you should be able to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04.  But 6.06 is a bit old so if you need recent software, you should probably go with 7.04 and then upgrade each release
[03:37] <Llivavin> Eh.
[03:37] <Llivavin> I cant hear sound
[03:37] <Jaggz-> that makes sense
[03:37] <rockets> Is there any way to figure out whats creating massive Disk IO on my system?
[03:37] <Jaggz-> when is 8.04 due out?
[03:38] <jrib> Jaggz-: 7.10 is due out in 2007 october, 8.04 in 2008 April (see the pattern :))
[03:38] <Jaggz-> gotcha
[03:38] <Frogzoo> rockets: run this alias: alias iostat='echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/block_dump ; dmesg | gawk '\''/(READ|WRITE|dirtied)/ {activity[$3] ++} END {for (x in activity) print activity[x] ,x}'\''| sort -nr | head -n 10 | gawk '\''{print $2 " " $1}'\'''
