[04:05] <the_engineer> lol@ tommi69: not to make light of your plight but if PFU stands for what I think it stands for, thats a great acronym.   I don't know my way around too well yet... I think it might be a midi issue, but that's just what I got from scanning sites for two hours :/
[04:07] <nikitis> Need to know how much harddrive space 9.04 takes up on install?
[04:08] <tEky> Okie, try just running the application that's having the problem.
[04:08] <thrillERboy> I've mistakenly disabled the top panel
[04:08] <nikitis> anyone?
[04:08] <tEky> I would suggest restarting if you haven't done that recently too.
[04:09] <thrillERboy> I just have access to terminal through dock... help me enabling it.... I disabled it when I tried to uninstall evolution mail client
[04:09] <vinyaa> Restarted, double checked that sound card is still working on windows (it's partitioned too small to dl musescore there), and tried adding any related apps... musescore still doesn't let me open the play panle
[04:09] <vinyaa> *panel
[04:10] <tonsxchat> just rebooted an amd64 intrepid machine, X is not loading...
[04:10] <tonsxchat> I keep seeing error messages [from IPtables?] appear on the local console
[04:10] <tonsxchat> [5550727.036092] Unknown OutputIN= OUT=vmnet8 SRC=<IP_ADDRESS> DST=<IP_ADDRESS> LEN=187 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=631 DPT=631 LEN=167
[04:10] <tonsxchat> ^^ example
[04:11] <tEky> vinyaa, brb I'm going to check something
[04:11] <vinyaa> ok. if it makes any difference, my friend just sent a midi file that I was able to play
[04:11] <hhp2k> Hey everyone! =) I have a question - I have Istanbul installed, the desktop video recording program.  Earlier this afternoon, I set it to record a quick 30-second clip of my desktop, and the 3D capabilities of Compiz-Fusion.  Once the recording stopped, the icon changed into a disk, and hovering my mouse over the icon displays 'In process of saving to disk.'  I cannot elicit a single response from the icon now - right
[04:12] <unimaginative> I'm trying to watch a blu-ray rip of Planet Earth on my ubuntu box. The player plays the audio but the video is blank. I think it may be an issue with codecs.. ist theresome sort of codec pack I need to install ?
[04:12] <tommi69> for a second i thought you wrote istanbul instead of intrepid :D
[04:12] <tonsxchat> unimaginative: does it work with the actual disc?
[04:13] <unimaginative> tonsxchat, It works on my windows system. The ubuntu box doesnt have a blueray drive
[04:13] <Ububegin> unimaginative: doesn videolan play everything...
[04:13] <tommi69> hhp2k: where are istanbul videos saved?
[04:13] <edogzilla> hi is anyone here?
[04:13] <unimaginative> Ububegin, apparently not. I don't even know what codec this file is saved in. It was the digital copy.
[04:13] <tommi69> hhp2k: check if the video has been created
[04:13] <tommi69> edogzilla: no, unfortunately
[04:14] <tommi69> edogzilla: the virus has spread
[04:14] <edogzilla> excuse me, but I'm a total newb to ubuntu linux and i need some serious help, anyone available to help?
[04:14] <edogzilla> its a startup issue
[04:14] <tEky> vinyaa, I'm back
[04:14] <thrillERboy> hello guys..... I've mistakenly disabled desktop panel on the top......... I just have access to terminal through dock... help me enabling it.... I disabled it when I tried to uninstall evolution mail client
[04:14] <vinyaa> okay, any ideas?
[04:14] <unimaginative> ask in the room and someone will try to help if they can
[04:14] <tommi69> edogzilla: just explain the problem if someone can help you they will answer
[04:15] <nikitis> what is the .img format?  i
[04:15] <hhp2k> tommi69: I'm not sure where the Istanbul videos are saved - let me check that out and get back to you in a second.
[04:15] <Ububegin> edogzilla:  the qn pls...
[04:15] <nikitis> im downloading jaunty
[04:15] <tEky> next to the transport there is a box, is that checked
[04:15] <tommi69> hhp2k: i don't know that software but probably from the preferencies you can get the directory
[04:15] <sloin> hey, how can I copy a lot of directories from a directory where is a lot of other files
[04:15] <vinyaa> next to the huh? x.x
[04:15] <sloin> I mean, only the directories
[04:15] <edogzilla> my problem is that when i startup my comp, i dont get the gui desktop...instead i get just a command line. all i wanna do is get to my desktop at startup. any ideas?
[04:16] <edogzilla> i am using 8.10 btw
[04:16] <linch> i have two ips bound to eth0 and eth0:0; is there a way for my server to be configured on each interface separately?
[04:16] <thrillERboy> edogzilla, did you tried startx
[04:16] <nikitis> How do you use a .img file?
[04:16] <linch> any help, guys?
[04:16] <edogzilla> no. is startx the entire command?
[04:16] <tEky> There's a Display Transport menu and next to that should be a box you can check
[04:16] <tommi69> nikitis: you have to burn it on a disk i believe
[04:17] <nikitis> tommi69, its for a usb disk
[04:17] <nikitis> tommi69, but how do i put it on the usb?
[04:17] <tommi69> nikitis: ah! you need something special to burn the img on the usb i think
[04:17] <vinyaa> tEky: that's also shaded, it won't let me select it
[04:17] <thrillERboy> edogzilla,  yes.... after login in through command line interface just type startx and enter
[04:17] <nikitis> tommi69, right, but what?
[04:17] <tEky> hmm.. that's odd
[04:17] <edogzilla> ok...then what?
[04:17] <tommi69> nikitis: searching for 'ubuntu img usb' BAM! first link
[04:17] <vinyaa> tEky: yeah. welcome to my world.
[04:18] <space_cadet> edogzilla, startx should start your gui
[04:18] <tommi69> nikitis: use google the answer is at the first link
[04:18] <edogzilla> thrillerboy, will i have to type that every time? can i set it so that it starts automatically?
[04:18] <admin_masu3701> is there a channel for protocol?
[04:18] <space_cadet> !protocol
[04:19] <thrillERboy> I guess you can make that automatically start from services screen....
[04:19] <space_cadet> nope no #protocol
[04:19] <space_cadet> admin_masu3701, what kinda protocol?
[04:20] <tommi69> edogzilla: you have to check your /etc/inittab
[04:20] <edogzilla> thrillerboy, whats services screen? not sure where to find that
[04:20] <tEky> vinyaa, I might try a different program.
[04:20] <thrillERboy> edogzilla, I just started using ubuntu for a week, so some other experienced peeps can help well
[04:20] <tommi69> edogzilla: you are in a console?
[04:20] <edogzilla> when i start up my comp i get no gui just a command line
[04:20] <vinyaa> tEky: alright, I might go mess around a bit with Jack and see if maybe something is wrong there, but thanks for your help
[04:21] <edogzilla> well, theres a bunch of other text and stuff too but you know what i mean
[04:21] <admin_masu3701> space_cadet: for a class, i have to design a protocol that can be used to send anonymous mail
[04:21] <admin_masu3701> not sure where to start
[04:21] <space_cadet> admin_masu3701, sounds like your teacher is one of those spammers
[04:21] <usser> admin_masu3701, aint nothing hard about that :)
[04:21] <tEky> yea, no problem
[04:21] <space_cadet> admin_masu3701, i would scrap the project and report your teacher to the fcc
[04:21]  * usser hehe
[04:21] <admin_masu3701> haha
[04:22] <admin_masu3701> we're not writing the code..just designing it
[04:22] <edogzilla> so will i have to type startx every time?
[04:22] <tommi69> edogzilla: not really :)
[04:22] <space_cadet> admin_masu3701, http://www.theanonymousemail.com/anonymous-email-server.php
[04:23] <usser> admin_masu3701, so just put in the protocol specs that a sender is not required to provide an callback address, thats it
[04:23] <thrillERboy> hello guys..... I've mistakenly disabled desktop panel on the top......... I just have access to terminal through dock... help me enabling it.... I disabled it when I tried to uninstall evolution mail client
[04:23] <tommi69> edogzilla: let me check one thing i'll be right back to you
[04:23] <tEky> Vinyaa, have you tried Ubuntu Studio version
[04:23] <vinyaa> tEk: No
[04:23] <edogzilla> tommie 69, ok great thx
[04:23] <usser> admin_masu3701, not sure whats there to design, just take smtp as a base and remove the clause about authentication from there
[04:23] <Aerodynamic> I'm having a problem with desktop effects. When enabled, the titlebar [icons / close/minimize/maximize buttons] seems to mess up.
[04:23] <Aerodynamic> Is there a fix to this?
[04:23] <space_cadet> thrillERboy, try gnome-panel
[04:24] <thrillERboy> where to get it :/ I don't see the top panel.... not anything...... applications, system nothing
[04:24] <admin_masu3701> usser: he want the message to be split into 2 parts that will be sent to 2 differents peers
[04:24] <space_cadet> thrillERboy, are you sure you want to uninstall evolution as well?
[04:24] <admin_masu3701> then reassemble before delivery
[04:24] <tEky> vinyaa, http://ubuntustudio.org/
[04:24] <thrillERboy> I've uninstallled evolution....
[04:24] <Aerodynamic> :x
[04:24] <space_cadet> thrillERboy, open a terminal then run gnome-panel
[04:24] <vinyaa> tEk: there already. I might give that a go, thanks
[04:24] <wnstn> Hello, On my main desktop I have two users, my wife and I. I use Awesome as my window manager and my wife uses Gnome. Back when we both ran Gnome switching users while leaving the other logged in was not a issue thanks to the user switcher panel applet. Is there a way for my wife to log into her gnome session while leaving my Awesome session active? I run a lot of applications and hate coming back to my computer only to find out she
[04:24] <wnstn>  has Ctrl+Alt+Backspace me out so she can check her email. Thanks!
[04:24] <space_cadet> thrillERboy, but beware, when you close the terminal, bybye gnome-panel
[04:24] <gek_onthe> ey the  deluge is better what transmission
[04:25] <tEky> I'm using it on my DT with an M-Audio 1010LT audio card, works very well.
[04:25] <Xcell> lol bye bye panel
[04:26] <thrillERboy> this program in not installed, so I've to do that sudo apt-get thing?
[04:26] <Aerodynamic> Anyone know why I get that issue?
[04:26] <space_cadet> try this..
[04:26] <tEky> It's not too flashy though, but it gets the job done.
[04:26] <space_cadet> thrillERboy, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+question/3179
[04:26] <scunizi> wnstn: there's a way to run one sesson on one X and another on a different X session.. at the same time.. like :0 & :1 but I don't know how to set it up..
[04:26] <vinyaa> dumb question, will it just update what I have now, or does it completely replace the OS?
[04:26] <usser> admin_masu3701, hm. well thats still technically traceable. still, it seems doable, look at how smtp does stuff, take some commands from there, add a couple of your own that specify the peer addresses and reassemble the mail upon delivery
[04:26] <tommi69> edogzilla: if you do this command 'cat /etc/inittab' what do you get? i hope your ubuntu has inittab
[04:26] <scunizi> wnstn: you'd switch with ctrl+alt+F7-9
[04:26] <edogzilla> one sec ill tell ya
[04:26] <usser> admin_masu3701, http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/smtp/rfc0821.txt
[04:27] <wnstn> scunizi: Tried that but it wont let me startx
[04:27] <haxila> how do i mount a drive if it was not properly ejected from windows?
[04:27] <tEky> vinyaa, you will need to reformat.
[04:27] <gek_onthe> deluge is more stable
[04:27] <admin_masu3701> usser: the link didnt open correctly
[04:27] <edogzilla> tommi 69: i get no such file or directory
[04:27] <scunizi> wnstn: there's a special way of doing it. kinda like running x over ssh..
[04:28] <Aerodynamic> Hmm...
[04:28] <edogzilla> its a fresh install of 8.10 straight from the live cd
[04:28] <vinyaa> ok, it'll have to wait until I get my hands on my friend's external, then. thanks a lot though, I'll just try and find a program to do what I need to for tonight, and I'll switch over this week. thanks though! :) I'm headed off, but I might check back in if I can figure something out
[04:28] <Aerodynamic> I tried installing Compiz because I've heard that it had to do with the command under "window decorations" but that didn't do any good.
[04:28] <usser> admin_masu3701, here http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html
[04:28] <tommi69> edogzilla: please type this command: 'runlevel'
[04:28] <tommi69> edogzilla: and tell me the response
[04:28] <usser> admin_masu3701, or just google for smtp rfc
[04:28] <bartek> Hi there, I can't seem to find Apache benchmark (ab) available for download in Ubuntu's repos. Is it only available from source?
[04:29] <Gnurdux> so, switching to RealVNC didnt fix the crashes; it seems ot be gnome-settings-daemon that is crashing
[04:29] <edogzilla> tommi 69, i get N  2
[04:29] <Gnurdux> it did, however imrpove performance
[04:29] <wnstn> scunizi: That sounds a bit complicated, especially for my wife :)
[04:29] <tEky> Vinyaa, Okie, sorry I couldn't help out more... have a good day :}
[04:29] <usser> admin_masu3701, since you dont have to actually implement the commands you can say that they do this and that without bothering if its actually possible in real life, hell half of HTML standard is done this way
[04:29] <Aerodynamic> :(
[04:30] <tommi69> edogzilla: ok wait one more minute
[04:30] <edogzilla> tommi 69, but keep in mind that i'm actually using the cd right now, not my install, cuz its the only way I can get a desktop to get onto chat cuz i dont know how to do anything from just the command line
[04:30] <tommi69> edogzilla: ah.
[04:30] <edogzilla> so i'm really not sure how that affects things
[04:30] <scunizi> wnstn: If she had the primary load on F7 (standard location) and your's was on F8 then everything would look normal to her and you would have the control to switch to your desktop when needed and switch back when you walked away..
[04:31] <ubuntu21> Now that Nexuiz 2.5 has been released, is there an expected date for it to appear in the repos?
[04:31] <thrillERboy> thanks guys.... lemme check this worked....
[04:31] <tommi69> edogzilla: ithought you were trying these commands on the affected system
[04:31] <edogzilla> tommi 69, no sorry. forgive me i'm a total newb
[04:31] <wnstn> scunizi: sounds do-able, how would I set that up?
[04:31] <Aerodynamic> Changing the command didn't seem to work..
[04:32] <tommi69> edogzilla: no problem but i can't help if you don't tell me how the system replies to those commands
[04:32] <Aerodynamic> Oi, I just have no idea what the problem is. :[
[04:32] <edogzilla> i would have to restart every time
[04:32] <JosephD> When someone's free to help, I'd like some. =D
[04:32] <admin_masu3701> usser: yea..saying they do this and that will be much easier..since we dont have to write the code
[04:32] <Aerodynamic> Same here.
[04:33] <tommi69> edogzilla: i know
[04:33] <ubuntu21> Now that Nexuiz 2.5 has been released, is there an expected date for it to appear in the repos?
[04:33] <edogzilla> tommi 69, if you will be around a while we could do it that way
[04:33] <tommi69> edogzilla: unfortunately it's 5.30am and i seriously need to sleep :)
[04:33] <scunizi> wnstn: I would search some of the technical how to educational sites.. many schools are using one machine with 4 sets of monitors, keyboards, mice etc for individual unique logins.. including session choice.. can't be that hard to find.. I actually had someone on here tell me how a couple years ago.
[04:33] <usser> ubuntu21, its not gonna make it into the repos. it probably wont even be in jaunty its too late for that
[04:33] <edogzilla> tommi 69, any ideas?
[04:33] <tommi69> edogzilla: login in the faulty system, do that 'runlevel' command and see if it still responds '2'
[04:34] <ubuntu21> usser: why would it be too late for repos? Repos actually freeze? Why?
[04:34] <edogzilla> tommi 69: and if it does...or doesnt?
[04:34] <ubuntu21> What's the point of that?
[04:34] <tommi69> edogzilla: runlevel 2 usually means 'login graphically' (not exact but for clarity sake..)
[04:34] <tommi69> edogzilla: if you log in in the console, no graphics, it usually means you are in runlevel 1
[04:35] <JosephD> Whenever I start up my laptop, it goes to the login screen fine, but when I login it just stays that basic offwhite color and I can't do anything.
[04:35] <usser> ubuntu21, yea, the freeze usually happens around beta release after that point only security updates are allowed into repositories, 2.5 is a major upgrade theres no way it'll make it
[04:35] <admin_masu3701> usser: when the message get splitted in 2 parts and send to 2 different peers, should the 2 parts of the message include headers?
[04:35] <tommi69> edogzilla: so, if you get a runlevel 1 response you just have to switch back to runlevel 2 to get graphical login
[04:35] <zombie-robo1> whats a good source for learning python?
[04:35] <ubuntu21> usser: So it won't make it for another 6 months... lame
[04:35] <thrillERboy> hi got the gnome-panel now... It closes when I close the terminal.... is there a way to make it stay
[04:35] <edogzilla> tommi 69: so if I type runlevel 2 in the command line it will work from then on?
[04:35] <scunizi> ubuntu21: you can probably get it at www.getdeb.net
[04:35] <tommi69> zombie-robo1: swarooch.com,e
[04:36] <admin_masu3701> and how is it going to be reassembled before delivery
[04:36] <tommi69> zombie-robo1: swarooch.com, ebook titled 'byte of python' - learned basis in a weekend, it's great
[04:36] <thrillERboy> also It seems I've uninstalled user switcher. hot to enable it? whats the command?
[04:36] <usser> admin_masu3701, its up to you. its probably easier to have them both have headers, since it'll be easy to reassemble
[04:36] <tommi69> edogzilla: you type 'runlevel' and hope it's 1 then come back here and ask around how to change it to runlevel 2
[04:36] <ubuntu21> usser: Nope. not there.
[04:36] <zombie-robo1> thank you
[04:36] <Aerodynamic> does anyone else get the same issue with visual effects turned on?
[04:36] <Flannel> edogzilla: 'init 2'
[04:36] <tommi69> edogzilla: if you type 'runlevel' and you get 2 there is something else wrong
[04:36] <edogzilla> tommi 69: ok i will thx
[04:37] <edogzilla> tommi 69: would you happen to know what that is?
[04:37] <tommi69> edogzilla: listen to Flannel i used to modify a file to solve this but it doesn't work anymore in ubuntu (/etc/inittab), maybe Flannel knows more
[04:37] <edogzilla> tommi 69: whats init 2?
[04:37] <usser> admin_masu3701, make sure you do some sort of integrity check, hash the message or something, and then check if the hash is correct after reassembly, a good protocol should do that
[04:37] <TecROc> how do you connect to a access point by the terminal?
[04:38] <tommi69> edogzilla: init is that runlevel thing i told you about - if 1 start at console, if 2 start with gui
[04:39] <edogzilla> tommi 69: so in other words...If I type init 2 in the command line if i am on runlevel 2, then it will switch me to runlevel 2?
[04:39] <tommi69> edogzilla: really need to go, try to get as much information as possible and come back here somebody will help
[04:39] <dxdemetriou> how can I empty trash if permission is denied and the ~/.local/Share/Trash is empty?
[04:39] <edogzilla> tommi: sorry i meant if i am on runlevel 1
[04:39] <usser> ubuntu21, well thats how it is, you can always get it from getdeb.net im sure those guys will create a package for it pretty fast
[04:39] <edogzilla> tommi 69: ok thanks
[04:39] <tommi69> edogzilla: i don't know that init command Flannel talked about it, try to ask him
[04:39] <TecROc> how do you connect to a access point by the terminal?
[04:39] <Flannel> tommi69, edogzilla: init 2 will get you to runlevel 2
[04:40] <tommi69> Flannel: permanently?
[04:40] <tommi69> Flannel: like it used to be when editing runlevel on /etc/inittab i mean
[04:40] <edogzilla> flannel: aha. thanks. and after i get to runlevel 2 is the change permanent or will i have to do that every time i start my comp?
[04:40] <Flannel> tommi69: No, just this one time.  Is he booting to runlevel1 constantly?
[04:40] <Flannel> edogzilla: What menu entry are you selecting at GRUB?
[04:40] <tommi69> Flannel: that's what i was trying to understand
[04:41] <epaphus> hi guys..  grub does not boot into ubuntu because its giving a error code 15...   when I boot with the live cd..  I do find /boot/grub/stage1 .. it returns the same error.. if i do: find /grub/stage1 ... that also returns the same error.. what are my options? why would this be like this on a good working install?
[04:41] <tommi69> Flannel: if you can see if you can point edogzilla to a solution i must leave
[04:41] <edogzilla> Flannel: um, wow sorry. i'm a first timer and I dont know what you mean. i dont selct or type or press anything it just takes me there when i turn my computer on...sorry about being ignorant here
[04:42] <JosephD> Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong?
[04:42] <edogzilla> flannel: this is a completely fresh install of 8.10 from the cd. first time bootup
[04:42] <Flannel> edogzilla: Being new is nothing to apologise about, we're all new at some point.  Alright, you just installed and its doing this?
[04:43] <edogzilla> flannel: yes
[04:43] <Firefishe> What is the CLI command for the listing of device hardware?
[04:43] <Flannel> edogzilla: Alright.  Is this a separate computer you're on? So we can play with things while you're still here talking to me?
[04:43] <josh890> hey guys my computer hung when i was installing a package so i had to do a hard reset now when i try to use a package manager it says there is one  already running, any ideas/
[04:43] <Flannel> Firefishe: lspci and lsusb
[04:43] <Firefishe> thanks, Flannel
[04:43] <Firefishe> that helps
[04:43] <Flannel> josh890: Be sure update-manager isn't running (or anything else) with ps aux, and then, if you're absolutely sure, you'll have to manually delete the lock file.
[04:44] <edogzilla> flannel: unfortunately not. i am running from the cd right now cuz its the only way i could use the comp, cuz i dont know what to do with that command line
[04:44] <edogzilla> flannel: if i tried anything i would have to reboot, try it, then reboot again from the cd to get back here
[04:44] <jimisrvrox> hey guys Ive got a wmp54g that shows like half a signal in ubuntu but when you try to connect to the router it does not want to connect. If it does connect it doesnt stay connected for very long how could I solve this issue? Im using the native linux drivers btw
[04:44] <josh890> well theres no notification in the gui or the system log so where is the lock file located?
[04:44] <JosephD> Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong?
[04:45] <smacfarl> so i bit torrented an ubuntu 8.10 iso and md5sumed it and it was good. then I copied the file from my ntfs partition to my ext3 primary and the md5sum changed, what happened?
[04:45] <adam7> smacfarl: the data got corrupted during the transfer?
[04:45] <Flannel> edogzilla: alright.  That's fine, I've got a while.  What I want you to do is reboot, hit escape a few times after the POST screen (you should see something that says 'press ESC to view the GRUB menu' or something like that) once you get there, jot down what menu choices you have.  Try to choose one that doesn't say "recovery mode" (and also, not memtest) and then also keep track of whatever errors it gives you.
[04:46] <smacfarl> how is that possible?
[04:46] <Flannel> josh890: use apt-get and it'll tell you.  sudo apt-get update
[04:46] <smacfarl> I'm just copying from one drive to another on the same machine
[04:46] <josh890> ok
[04:46] <edogzilla> flannel: ok i'll try it. be back in a while
[04:46] <scunizi>  Flannel might almost be easier to tell him how to install and load irssi after booting to a command line
[04:47] <adam7> smacfarl: I don't know... http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/04/2230252 might help you
[04:47] <Firefishe> irssi is what I'm using...niiice :)
[04:47] <edogzilla> whats irssi?
[04:48]  * scunizi feels like he's stired the pot
[04:48] <ttl>  how can i backup my system files so if my hdd died, i can reinstall on a new hdd and have the same configuration and settings but not my personal files(ie music pictures)?
[04:48] <edogzilla> anyway i'll be back
[04:48] <scunizi> ttl: partimage
[04:48] <Typh> Is anyone familiar with a way to have dual monitors, each wit hits own window list? (Like ultramon on windows)
[04:48] <JosephD> Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong?
[04:49] <ttl> scunizi: will it work if i copied my /home/username directory on a backup drive and past it on the new one?
[04:50] <chrisdall> does anyone here have experience compiling kvm userspace against full kernel source?
[04:50] <chrisdall> I have a problem with a warning, that <linux/compiler.h> is missing.
[04:50] <usser> chrisdall, probably needs gcc sources or something
[04:51] <chetnick> which music player would you recommend?
[04:51] <chrisdall> it doesn't complain about <linux/ioctl.h>, so I am kind of confused. Can you elaborate?
[04:51] <TecROc> how do you connect to a access point by the terminal?
[04:51] <epaphus> hi guys..  grub does not boot into ubuntu because its giving a error code 15...   when I boot with the live cd..  I do find /boot/grub/stage1 .. it returns the same error.. if i do: find /grub/stage1 ... that also returns the same error.. what are my options? why would this be like this on a good working install?
[04:51] <usser> chetnick, exaile
[04:51] <lewench> if I have ubuntu installed and using fluxbox, how would I connect to a windows server? Ex. I want to connect to another windows PC on my network.
[04:52] <chetnick> usser: do you know by any chance is there equalizer on it?
[04:52] <Firefishe> I just installed ubuntu 8.10, and when the x server login comes up, I have no keyboard or mouse recognition (usb).  I've tried using two usb-to-ps2 adapters for the 2 free ps2 ports, but that didn't work.
[04:52] <scunizi> ttl: partimage mirrors entire partitions.. if you only have two .. one /swap and the rest including /home on / then just imaging that will take care of everything..
[04:52] <admin_masu3701> usser: am getting somewhere. but whouldnt the messages have the sender address in them?
[04:53] <Firefishe> The keyboard works on virtual terminal (hence this session), but not in x.  I"m stumped.
[04:53] <chrisdall> usser: Do you know why it complains about compiler.h and not ioctl.h?
[04:54] <chrisdall> (they are both included in kvm.h). Help would be fantastically greatly appreciated from anyone...
[04:54] <usser> chetnick, hang on
[04:54] <usser> chetnick, yep
[04:54] <Firefishe> What's the command to list process id's?
[04:55] <jplur> can I upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04 directly?
[04:55] <usser> admin_masu3701, if you dont want it, you can just say that sender doesnt have to specify his address, and splitting the message and sending throgh different peers will efectively masquarade the ip
[04:56] <ruben23> hi.
[04:56] <Flannel> jplur: Nope.  7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04
[04:56] <usser> chrisdall, i've never compiled kvm, i wouldnt know it just sounded like it needed gcc sources
[04:56] <jplur> Flannel, thanks
[04:56] <chrisdall> ok, thanks for input though!
[04:56] <friedtofu> jplur: just clean install
[04:56] <edogzilla> hi flannel im back u there?
[04:57] <Flannel> edogzilla: Yep
[04:57] <ruben23> anyone tried to installed ubuntu with Acer e machine EL1700
[04:57] <admin_masu3701> usser: so the header could just contain like a packet name or # or such.
[04:57] <jplur> friedtofu, i did the autoclean and clean, I guess I should disable all non main repositories before upgrading?
[04:57] <JosephD> Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong?
[04:57] <usser> admin_masu3701, yea, and recipient address
[04:57] <ruben23> i have errors upon booting form installation
[04:58] <edogzilla> flannel k: I got 3 choices. one was ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-2 generic...the other was the same only with (system recovery) at the end....and the last was ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+
[04:58] <admin_masu3701> usser: who reasembling the messages?
[04:58] <Flannel> edogzilla: Alright, good so far.  And choosing the non-recovery one ended up with what?
[04:59] <edogzilla> flannel: the same thing
[04:59] <edogzilla> as before
[04:59] <pHreaksYcle1> man, i've been trying to solve this problem for like 12 hours now
[04:59] <edogzilla> flannel: the only thing that looked like an error was a message that said: knit:no resume image, doing normal boot
[04:59] <pHreaksYcle1> my nautilus is crapping the bed everytime i boot 9.04
[04:59] <Xcell> ttl transistor transistor logic?
[05:00] <Flannel> edogzilla: So, you got a root prompt? one that ended with #?
[05:00] <pHreaksYcle1> as in, the desktop doesn't have any icons, nautilus won't start from command line
[05:00] <Flannel> pHreaksYcle1: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks.
[05:00] <usser> admin_masu3701, well the recipient
[05:00] <ruben23> anyone have ideas..?
[05:00] <cappicard> is anyone using imap in evolution? damn thing seg faults as soon as I try using imap
[05:00] <edogzilla> flannel: no. I got the command line as usual, the one that ends with $
[05:00] <pHreaksYcle1> Flannel: ah, that would explain the lack of responses around here. thanks man.
[05:00] <admin_masu3701> usser: ok
[05:00] <Flannel> edogzilla: oh... that's not single user mode then.  You installed with a liveCD?
[05:00] <admin_masu3701> usser: writing all that out will be good?
[05:01] <admin_masu3701> usser: and thinking about doing a diagram
[05:01] <usser> admin_masu3701, arent you already? i mean yea
[05:01] <edogzilla> flannel: what happened was I upgraded from hardy heron to 8.10...and i got this problem. in order to fix it i did a fresh install from the cd...same problem
[05:02] <Flannel> edogzilla: Odd indeed. Installed from the liveCD?
[05:02] <edogzilla> flannel: yes
[05:02] <edogzilla> flannel: the one i downloaded from the ubuntu website
[05:02] <edogzilla> flannel: i already tested the cd's integrity and it was fine
[05:03] <duffc> Anyone have trouble getting compiz animations to work?
[05:03] <scunizi> nope
[05:03] <CapaH> I have a Logitech mouse and I am trying to assign one of its buttons to a certain task - I use xev to get the technical details of pressing a particular mouse button, but I am not sure what to do with that information.
[05:04] <Antisoche> I have a hardware problem -- I have a board with an integrated video device.  I want to dual head, so I added a PCI Express type video card.  That card works fine, but the integrated device is gone - the display has no output and the device doesn't show in an lspci.  Does that seem normal?
[05:04] <Flannel> edogzilla: Odd.  If I didn't know any better, I'd say you installed a server system  or whatnot.
[05:04] <Firefishe> If HAL didn't start during bootup, what might the cause be?
[05:04] <Xcell> me thinks Flannel  nailed it
[05:04] <epaphus> hi guys..  grub does not boot into ubuntu because its giving a error code 15...   when I boot with the live cd..  I do find /boot/grub/stage1 .. it returns the same error.. if i do: find /grub/stage1 ... that also returns the same error.. what are my options? why would this be like this on a good working install?
[05:04] <Antisoche> (Hellos, btw)
[05:04] <edogzilla> flannel: i doubt it cuz its the same cd i used on my last computer and it was perfectly fine...this is a new comp i bought today
[05:04] <scunizi> Antisoche: could be a bios setting that disables the onboard when it detects the pci
[05:05] <Antisoche> scunizi, Thanks - I did poke around in the BIOS and there were no video options.
[05:05] <Antisoche> The BIOS is very spartan.
[05:05] <scunizi> Antisoche: that's not normal..
[05:05] <al14s> epaphus: get one of those cd's that do a bootloader rescue
[05:05] <JosephD> Hey guys, I login with Gnome and it takes me to the normal starting screen with my background and the menu bar at the top, but it won't let me move my mouse or anything
[05:06] <Aerodynamic> Back again. I get this error with desktop effects enabled: http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3677/screweduptitlebar.jpg
[05:06] <Aerodynamic> Is there a fix to this?
[05:06] <danbhfive> JosephD: is this a fresh install?
[05:06] <Flannel> edogzilla: well, you're obviously not in single user mode.  Since you get a $ prompt.  All... I can suggest is going back to it, try ctrl-alt-f7, try 'startx', try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:06] <danbhfive> Aerodynamic: did you use the hardware manager to enable your drivers?
[05:07] <JosephD> danbhfive, no I've had this laptop for a while, it just started doing this recently
[05:07] <Aerodynamic> drivers are enabled
[05:07] <al14s> epaphus: how fast is your internet?
[05:07] <danbhfive> JosephD: do you know how to get to a virtual terminal?  or tty?
[05:07] <epaphus> al14s, its fast enough. However... is there anything i can do with the live cd?
[05:08] <mattgyver83> Aerodynamic, do you have compiz as well installed?
[05:08] <Aerodynamic> Yup.
[05:08] <danbhfive> Aerodynamic: ok, but did you use that dialog to install them?  how did you install the drivers?
[05:08] <edogzilla> flannel: ok ill try that
[05:08] <Antisoche> scunizi, Hmm - the integrated and addon cards are both NVidia.  You think the addon has the ability to disable the integrated controller?  This mobo is very heavy on the NVIdia parts (PCI Bridge, USB, Audio, etc.)
[05:08] <edogzilla> flannel: i'll be back if it doesnt work
[05:08] <mattgyver83> Aero, i had a similar issue and the end result is its just due to a bug somewhere between Emerald and compiz
[05:08] <Aerodynamic> danbhfive, I did use that dialog to install the driver.
[05:09] <Aerodynamic> restarted
[05:09] <Aerodynamic> tried this
[05:09] <JosephD> danbhfive, think so, is that the one I can access in sessions in the login screen?
[05:09] <scunizi> Antisoche: is it a gforce 8200 board?
[05:09] <Typh> How do I add a panel to another monitor? (twinview)
[05:09] <astro403> i'm trying to encode a matroska file to mp4 to watch it using my psp. i'm using mencode to convert it, but i'm getting this error: Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec aac. I tried to install faac, but got the same error yet, anyone? thank you :)
[05:09] <Aerodynamic> it searched and loaded the driver or something when I tried to enable the effects
[05:09] <Aerodynamic> mattgyver83,  emerald?
[05:09] <Antisoche> scunizi, 8300 GS
[05:09] <al14s> epaphus: my mandriva 07 DVD comes with a bootloader rescue that works fine with me. Try to download a minimal one i guess.
[05:09] <pHreaksYcle1> Flannel: anyone in particular i can contact in this channel? it's quiet as can be in here
[05:09] <Flannel> pHreaksYcle1: People from this channel who know Jaunty are also presumably in that channel.
[05:09] <epaphus> al14s, thanks
[05:10] <Flannel> pHreaksYcle1: check launchpad though, file a bug, etc.
[05:10] <danbhfive> !tty | JosephD
[05:10] <epaphus> Anybody know if I can recreate a bootloader with the live cd.. without having to download a recue cd?
[05:10] <scunizi> Antisoche: not the video card but the chipset of the mother board
[05:10] <Flannel> !grub | epaphus
[05:10] <Aerodynamic> I tried looking it up and it said something about putting emerald in the commandline.
[05:10] <pHreaksYcle1> Flannel: yeah, i have been pouring over the various sources of bug-fixing databases, the forums etc. IRC is my last hope apparently haha.
[05:10] <Aerodynamic> I dunno what emerald even is.
[05:10] <mattgyver83> Aero, i might have it wrong, but I think its due to Emerald Theme manager confusing Compiz.  If you have Emerald installed still. (its been a while)
[05:10] <ruben23> anyone tried to installed ubuntu with Acer e machine EL1700
[05:10] <danbhfive> JosephD: try running this command, just as a sanity check: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^               it should check for the evdev driver
[05:11] <Aerodynamic> hmm
[05:11] <Aerodynamic> is emerald the default theme manager
[05:11] <mattgyver83> Yes
[05:11] <mattgyver83> Well, no not default, its an additional package
[05:11] <mattgyver83> but it was necessary back when it was beryl
[05:11] <pHreaksYcle1> Aerodynamic: metacity is the default.
[05:11] <Aerodynamic> oh
[05:11] <Aerodynamic> hm.. is there a way to fix?
[05:11] <mattgyver83> I just went back to metacity and it was fine ever since.
[05:12] <Antisoche> scunizi, oh, sorry.  It's an MCP61 according to lspci ... I'll get a flashlight and see what I can find printed
[05:12] <Aerodynamic> I tried it with the default and had the problem
[05:12] <Aerodynamic> and then downloaded Compiz to see if that helped
[05:12] <Aerodynamic> still same problem
[05:12] <pHreaksYcle1> Aerodynamic: personally i would recommend staying away from emerald unless there is a particular emerald theme you HAVE to have. most of the effects can be reproduced in metacity fairly easily. all it does is suck RAM for me anyway.
[05:12] <Antisoche> Also, if someone could tell me how to take Google out of stupid mode when I log into my gmail account I'd be very appreciative.
[05:12] <scunizi> Antisoche: no worries.. do you have any weird issues booting?
[05:12] <NEPTUNO> hola a todos
[05:12] <pHreaksYcle1> Antisoche: stupid mode as in
[05:13] <pHreaksYcle1> NEPTUNO: que tal
[05:13] <JosephD> danbhfive, it asks for my login details, but when it prompts for my password, it won't let me type it
[05:13] <NEPTUNO> como estas
[05:13] <NEPTUNO> oye me puedes ayudar???
[05:13] <Aerodynamic> Idk if I have emerald even installed x_X
[05:13] <mattgyver83> Aerodynamic, Emerald is now 'Compiz Fusion Icon' which might be in your System tools folder of the Applications menu
[05:13] <NEPTUNO> estoy entrando al chat de terra pero no puedo atraves de este programa
[05:13] <Aerodynamic> oh!
[05:13] <Antisoche> scunizi, No issues booting.  The machine behaves well.  The only weird thing that's happened is I plugged in a video card and lost my primary display :-\
[05:13] <danbhfive> JosephD: when you type, it will show nothing.  Just try typing your password, and hit enter
[05:13] <lstarnes> JosephD: just type it.  nothing will be shown even if works
[05:13] <Zeroyez> how can i read a range of bytes from /dev/sda
[05:14] <mattgyver83> Aero, it opens a small systray icon that you can right click into, go to 'Select Window Manager' and see whats selected
[05:14] <danbhfive> JosephD: and don't forget the ^...
[05:14] <Aerodynamic> Nah, I don't have it.
[05:14] <pHreaksYcle1> NEPTUNO: no comprendo "Terra"
[05:14] <mattgyver83> sudo apt-get compiz-fusion-icon
[05:14] <Firefishe> What's the command to list process id's?
[05:14] <Antisoche> pHreaksYcle1, When I do a google search after logging into gmail is takes away the links to search for my keyword in "images" or "news".  All I get is "start search" or "web search" radio buttons.
[05:14] <lstarnes> Firefishe: ps aux
[05:14] <Ropechoborra> Firefishe, ps ax
[05:15] <AwesomePineapple> So I have a Samsung Q1 Ultra and it's not in use right now. I want to turn it into a remote control for my computer at home. Think this is possible if I install ubuntu onto it? (Can I install ubuntu on it? I heard the mobile version works well on it)
[05:15] <mattgyver83> Look to make sure Compiz is the selected Window Manager, and that Emerald is the select Window Decorator
[05:15] <scunizi> Antisoche: just looking for a manual on it now.
[05:15] <Antisoche> Most of the time I just use yahoo, but all my browsers default to google
[05:15] <pHreaksYcle1> Antisoche: I think that's just how it is man. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
[05:15] <JosephD> danbhfive, says dpkg was interupted and i must manually run it
[05:15] <mattgyver83> Aero, might want to make sure you have emerald installed as well, that should appear in the drop down menu when you right click it.
[05:16] <Aerodynamic> E: Invalid operation compiz-fusion-icon
[05:16] <mattycoze> hey does anyone know whether gnome-zeitgeist works on the Ubuntu 8.10 distro?
[05:16] <pHreaksYcle1> NEPTUNO: que es este "Terra" hombre?
[05:16] <scunizi> Antisoche: who makes the board?
[05:16] <Antisoche> scunizi, The mobo is a HP M2N68-LA (rev 3.02)
[05:16] <danbhfive> JosephD: go ahead, and manually run "it"    I assume its something like dpkg-configure -a
[05:17] <mattgyver83> sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
[05:17] <JosephD> danbhfive, says that it requires superuser privelege
[05:17] <danbhfive> JosephD: preface the command with sudo
[05:19] <Antisoche> scunizi, I'm going to have to say that the controller chip is under a heatsink.  :(
[05:19] <mattycoze> what the heck is 'bzr'?
[05:19] <CapaH> Does anyone here have a 10+ button mouse, such as my Logitech mouse - I am trying to get all the buttons to work/map them as I wish. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?
[05:19] <Joker_-_> mattycoze: brazil?
[05:19] <Antisoche> mattycoze, Bazaar is a SCM like CVS, Subversion, or GIT
[05:19] <thrillERboy> I can't see the username in the right corner of the gnomepanel
[05:20] <thrillERboy> I think I had uninstalled it.... how to enable it?
[05:20] <Aerodynamic> mattgy, I have it installed.
[05:20] <Aerodynamic> What do I do now?
[05:20] <Joker_-_> I loose :(
[05:20] <mattycoze> Antisoche ahh nope too many acronyms mate :p
[05:20] <pHreaksYcle1> thrillERboy: right click and hit add to panel. find it in the list.
[05:20] <Antisoche> SCM, VCS, however you want to call it.
[05:20] <mattycoze> like a package management software?
[05:20] <mattgyver83> Aero, open it from the applications-system tools menu.  In your systray near your clock you will see a blue icon.  right click, tell me if you see an icon for emerald theme manager
[05:20] <mattycoze> Synaptic?
[05:20] <thrillERboy> pHreaksYcle1, Nope I think I had uninstalled it.... I checked the add panel list.... Its not there :/
[05:20] <Xcell> CapaH--  imwheel?...google it ..go to site and see if your mouse will work.
[05:21] <Aerodynamic> I see it
[05:21] <Antisoche> mattycoze, context?
[05:21] <JosephD> danbhfive, it showed some lines saying it was setting up various things that sound important, now it's just the blinking text input at the bottom but the prompt with my username is gone and it's not doing anything
[05:21] <mattgyver83> Aero, Okay, thats good.  Now go to 'Select Window Manager' Make sure 'Compiz' is selected.
[05:21] <scunizi> Antisoche: is this a laptop?
[05:21] <likuid_silence_> I have a APC Back-UPS XS 1000 and I would like to know if there's anything for ubuntu to alert me when UPS is running on battery??
[05:21] <Aerodynamic> Selected.
[05:22] <danbhfive> JosephD: sudo apt-get update
[05:22] <likuid_silence_> sort of email alerts or smth
[05:22] <mattycoze> Antisoche i don't understand what you mean by the acronyms SCM, CVS, GIT etc... I'm just assuming from the documentation that bzr is simply a package management software like Synaptic
[05:22] <mattgyver83> Aero, then go to 'Select Window Decorator' and make sure that 'Emerald' is selected
[05:22] <Antisoche> scunizi, No - it's a HP Pavillion.  64bit dual core Athlon something.  6400+ I think
[05:22] <Aerodynamic> there is no emerald
[05:22] <Aerodynamic> only gtk
[05:22] <mattgyver83> Okay, i think thats part of the issue.
[05:22] <mattgyver83> brb.
[05:22] <Aerodynamic> K.
[05:22] <likuid_silence> I have a APC Back-UPS XS 1000 and I would like to know if there's anything for ubuntu to alert me when UPS is running on battery??
[05:23] <Antisoche> mattycoze, Ah, sorry.  Is a program for maintaining software source code, primarily.  A "Source Code Management" or "Version Control System".
[05:23] <JosephD> danbhfive, it put my command up there on the terminal, but it won't do anything
[05:23] <mattgyver83> Aero, what happens if you click on Emerald Theme Manager icon in the menu?
[05:23] <mattgyver83> Im wondering if its installed.
[05:24] <pHreaksYcle1> thrillERboy: get the name of that applet and sudo apt-get install "NAME OF IT"
[05:24] <JosephD> danbhfive, oh, my mistake, must've been quite busy just without telling me
[05:24] <mattycoze> thanks Antisoche; i'm using Bzr to install zeitgeist "bzr branch lp:gnome-zeitgeist"
[05:24] <mattycoze> so yeah
[05:24] <Aerodynamic> clicking on it in the tray nothing happens, clicking on it under System Tools nothing happens
[05:24] <Aerodynamic> x_X
[05:24] <JosephD> haha I need to be a little more patient
[05:24] <danbhfive> JosephD: so what happened?
[05:24] <scunizi> Antisoche: found it.. on the link it specifically mentions that you can either use onboard or add on video cards but not both concurrently.  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00906129&cc=de&lc=en&dlc=de
[05:25] <mattgyver83> Aero, you tryed clicking Emerald Theme Manager right?  Do you have it in your systems tools menu (i dont, im just curious)
[05:25] <JosephD> danbhfive, it's still setting up alot of stuff, along with saying something about a user 'messagebus' already existing
[05:25] <Antisoche> mattycoze, "CVS" is an old standby, meaning "Concurrent Versioning System", SubVersion (svn) is it's "more modern" replacement.  GIT isn't an acronym at all - it's just the name of the version that Linus Torvalds wrote, continuing his tradition of naming his software after himself...
[05:25] <stealth-> anyone ever ran a ventrilo server? Im wondering how good the performance is on a home connection
[05:25] <Aerodynamic> It's Compiz Fusion Icon under System Tools
[05:25] <Antisoche> scunizi, Thanks, I guess.  :(
[05:25] <Aerodynamic> I have it there..
[05:25] <Aerodynamic> but.. when I click it
[05:25] <mattycoze> oh ok
[05:25] <Aerodynamic> It does nothing.
[05:25] <epaphus> hey guys, is it true ubuntu isnt good when multiple partitions are being done?
[05:25] <FloodBot1> Aerodynamic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:25] <danbhfive> JosephD: yeah, so something clearly went wrong, with some sort of update or upgrade
[05:25] <scunizi> Antisoche: is the add in card dual head?
[05:25] <stealth-> epaphus: no
[05:26] <Aerodynamic> Oh, alright. Sorry
[05:26] <Antisoche> scunizi, I guess I should have done more research first, but who would have thought?
[05:26] <mattgyver83> Aero, Okay.  Lets try reinstalling it, it might be a part of the menu by default but not included.
[05:26] <Antisoche> scunizi, Nope.  it's probably the same d*mn card ...
[05:26] <edogzilla> flannel u still here?
[05:26] <mattgyver83> sudo apt-get install emerald
[05:26] <stealth-> epaphus: when you say "multiple partitions are being done" im assuming you mean spreading the installation over multiple partitions, right?
[05:26] <scunizi> Antisoche: sell it and get a card with dual output.. not that expensive
[05:26] <epaphus> stealth-, right
[05:26] <JosephD> danbhfive, so this should fix it then?
[05:27] <Aerodynamic> Alrighty, it should be installed.
[05:27] <Aerodynamic> Oh, emerald theme manager is there now.
[05:27] <mattgyver83> Thats good.
[05:27] <Antisoche> Hey scunizi - ya wanna buy an Nvidia 8300 GS ???
[05:27] <mattgyver83> Select Emerald as your Window Decorator
[05:27] <edogzilla> flannel: are you still in here?
[05:27] <stealth-> epaphus: then there should be no difference. Some people split their installion into a partition for '/' and a partition for '/home/' so they can upgrade easier, though
[05:27] <danbhfive> JosephD: well, stuff is being fixed  :P
[05:27] <mattgyver83> Aero, then click on 'Reload Window Decorator' in the menu
[05:27] <thrillERboy> pHreaksYcle1, I want to know the name of the applent :/
[05:27] <mattgyver83> see if you still get the same problems.
[05:27] <Aerodynamic> Ah, seems to be fixed!
[05:27] <epaphus> stealth-, by default ubuntu intalls itself on a single partition.. and swap.. right?
[05:28] <mattgyver83> Awesome :D
[05:28] <scunizi> Antisoche: naw.. I got a motherboard with 3 outputs.. vga, DVI and hdmi
[05:28]  * Antisoche sees it :(
[05:28] <danbhfive> JosephD: when that is finished running, run this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^
[05:28] <stealth-> epaphus: to what i remember, yes
[05:28] <Aerodynamic> Thanks matt :P
[05:28] <mattgyver83> In hindsight, I think that GTK cant process themes for compiz as well as Emerald can
[05:28] <mattgyver83> not a problem, im amazed that i remembered that!!! its been a long time.
[05:28] <pHreaksYcle1> thrillERboy: google for the win dude. . .
[05:29] <thrillERboy> thanks pHreaksYcle1
[05:29] <Aerodynamic> hehe, I just installed Ubuntu today. I'm loving it, just having a bit of a rough time getting used to it all.
[05:29] <SuspectZero> i installed ubuntu with a /boot on /dev/sda10. then i installed windows 7 and i lost grub. when i booted into live ubuntu and tried grub-install /dev/sda i got an error saying /boot was not found. any ideas?
[05:29] <pHreaksYcle1> thrillERboy: haha, sure. if you want ill search it for you
[05:29] <Antisoche> 5000+
[05:29] <mattgyver83> Aero, if you have any other problems dont hesitate to ask me.
[05:29] <JosephD> danbhfive, alright, I'll let you know how that goes in jusssstt a second, it's still just zooming away on the screen =D
[05:29] <epaphus> does ubuntu make a partition for /boot .. or is it part of /..? by default that is
[05:29] <Aerodynamic> Alrighty. Thanks again :)
[05:29] <mattgyver83> Im no wiz, but if your just getting started I can help you with a good amount
[05:30] <danbhfive> JosephD: did you recently upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 or something?
[05:30] <thrillERboy> pHreaksYcle1, lemme try :)
[05:30] <danbhfive> epaphus: part of /
[05:30] <SuspectZero> i tried making /dev/sda10 bootable but that just gave me the no "operating system not found" error
[05:30] <scunizi> epaphus: by default it's part of /
[05:30] <JosephD> danbhfive, no, 8.10 came with the laptop when I ordered it
[05:30] <gek_onthe> how to add ultra nodes in frostwire?
[05:30] <edogzilla> i'm a noob with a problem at startup. I dont get the gui desktop instead i getjust a black screen with the $ command line. i ran startx and got a couple errors. first was xinit: no such process (erno3)...the other was xinit: connection refused (errno111) unable to connect to X server. does anybody know whats wrong here? this is a fresh install of 8.10 on a brand new comp
[05:31] <SuspectZero> any ideas on what i can do?
[05:31] <lagann_> #linux yo
[05:31] <edogzilla> it also said fatal server error: no screens found
[05:31] <danbhfive> edogzilla: are you sure the media you installed from was good?
[05:31] <stealth-> anyone ever ran a ventrilo server? Im wondering how good the performance is on a home connection
[05:32] <edogzilla> danbhfive:i installed from the live cd
[05:32] <edogzilla> checked the integrity it was good
[05:32] <danbhfive> edogzilla: did you check the cd for errors?
[05:32] <edogzilla> danhbfive: yes no problems
[05:32] <scunizi> edogzilla: did you try flannel's suggestion and when you get to the terminal prompt type .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  ... ?  it has to be all lower case t owork
[05:33] <edogzilla> danhbfive: yes, and it did some updates and stuff. it also said that ubuntu desktop was already installed and made no changes. other than that evertyhing stayed the same
[05:33] <SuspectZero> anyone?
[05:34] <edogzilla> would a fresh install work?
[05:34] <JosephD> danbhfive, the screen just went all black and the text disappeared and I have no idea whats going on hahaha
[05:34] <edogzilla> from the cd?
[05:34] <danbhfive> edogzilla: what happens when you run: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   ?
[05:34] <edogzilla> danhbfive: i dont know i havent tried it

[05:35] <edogzilla> i have an nvidia graphics card....could that be it?
[05:36] <ohzie> does anyone know of a website that might list what programs use specific ports?
[05:36] <ryan_> Hi, I was trying to learn some things with the terminal... I ended up adding a directory with multiple files in it as the root, now I'm trying to remove them but sudo rm ./testing doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?
[05:37] <edogzilla> scunizi:was that message for me?
[05:37] <ohzie> I have a lot of network traffic from a box using port 57055 and I'm not getting much in the way of hits on google.
[05:37] <JosephD> danbhfive, okay well I typed in the update and install things, and it says unable to retrieve items so I assume I need to hook this up with an ethernet cable?
[05:37] <danbhfive> JosephD: yeah, those commands need the internet
[05:37] <doleyb> ryan_: use rm -r to kill directory
[05:37] <JosephD> danbhfive, be back in a bit, I'll have to run upstairs to the router lol
[05:38] <ryan_> doleyb: Thanks a lot
[05:38] <SuspectZero> Rave1 in my case, my root would be /dev/sda10 or /dev/sda
[05:38] <SuspectZero> ?
[05:38] <danbhfive> JosephD: ok :)

[05:48] <mattgyver83> bye bye minnie
[05:48] <JosephD> nkei0, wired, I just hooked it up to my router
[05:48] <MINNIE> BYE
[05:49] <nkei0> JosephD: I'm not real sure about wired, but I know iwconfig works for wireless it may show wired too.
[05:49] <mattgyver83> ifconfig for wired
[05:49] <JosephD> nkei0, so, sudo ifconfig?
[05:50] <nkei0> JosephD: No sudo required.
[05:50] <JosephD> mattgyver83, thanks      nkei0, alright
[05:50] <jdb93> I'm running a RAID 1 set up using intel ichr10 on an X58 motherboad w. windows, and am interested in dual booting ubuntu.  That's not going to work is it.. :-)
[05:50] <land> greetings earthlings
[05:50] <Martyr2k6> ok issues here
[05:51] <Doitle> What does -Eperm mean? I am seeing nothing on google
[05:51] <JosephD> I got two IP address looking things, and a bunch of zeroes next to packets and errors
[05:51] <Martyr2k6> I was in here about 2 hours ago, and someone told me that if I wanted to dual boot vista and ubuntu, that I needed to install vista first on one hdd and ubuntu afterwards on the second
[05:51] <Martyr2k6> now ubuntu is all that boots
[05:52] <Glasscan> I just lost the game.
[05:52] <ryan_> Does ubuntu install with a directory "New" in your starting file system?
[05:52] <mattgyver83> JosephD, you just want to make sure your online?
[05:52] <Flannel> ryan_: No
[05:53] <nkei0> I'm having a problem with networking...  However, I don't think it's related to Ubuntu, but I don't know.  I set up my D-link wireless router from within Ubuntu and am using WPA with a pre-shared key.  However, I am dualbooting winxp and when i restart into xp it doesn't even detect the network....
[05:53] <JosephD> mattgyver83, well I need to figure out why the update and install things can't retrive/fetch the items they need so I can fix that initial problem I had
[05:53] <doleyb> nkei0: btw, nobody should use pre-shared keys
[05:53] <nkei0> doleyb: why is that?
[05:53] <zenlunatic> nkei0, that sounds like an xp proble
[05:53] <Martyr2k6> no, there is not a "new" folder in the first drive
[05:53] <doleyb> nkei0: because it reduces security and is harder to configure
[05:53] <mattgyver83> Try this first, tell me what happens.  Sudo apt-get update
[05:53] <nkei0> zenlunatic: I figured, I just was wondering if it could be related somehow.
[05:54] <Martyr2k6> like, I am looking at my vista drive and everything is there
[05:54] <zenlunatic> nkei0, perhaps
[05:54] <Martyr2k6> any help here with dual booting?
[05:54] <lstarnes> mattgyver83: commands are case-sensitive
[05:54] <mattgyver83> Martyr, are you sure they are on seperate partitions
[05:54] <mattgyver83> thanks starnes
[05:54] <JosephD> some index filed failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones have been used instead.You may want to run apt-get update to correct this
[05:54] <edogzilla> danhbfive: the link you asked for is http://us.archive.ubuntu.comintrepid/universe
[05:55] <Martyr2k6> well there are 2 physical drives in my compy, one is a 500 gig and the other (this one with ubuntu) is a 120 gig
[05:55] <Martyr2k6> I installed vista on the 500 gigger, and then ubuntu on the 120 gigger
[05:55] <mattgyver83> Okay, does grub launch when you boot.  Blue screen to select an OS.
[05:56] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, What does it say on the line that says 'Fetched'
[05:56] <edogzilla> danhbfive: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com
[05:56] <mattgyver83> should say something like, Fetched 308B in 1s (271B/s)
[05:56] <Martyr2k6> no... first theres the acer splash screen, then it starts booting the ubuntu drive first with a 5 second window to hit the esc key
[05:56] <JosephD> Failed to fetch 'http://.....'
[05:56] <mattgyver83> Okay, your not connected
[05:56] <edogzilla> are you still here danhbfive?
[05:57] <Martyr2k6> do I need to change the boot order in my bios?
[05:57] <JosephD> how do I get it to connect?
[05:57] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, you gotta set grub
[05:57] <mattgyver83> Is it a wired connection, or wireless?
[05:57] <JosephD> wired
[05:57] <Martyr2k6> er, I am a newb
[05:57] <Martyr2k6> so speak slowly
[05:57] <Martyr2k6> and in easy to understand words
[05:57] <Martyr2k6> :P
[05:57] <edogzilla> jeez, danhbfive left. can anyone else help me
[05:57] <danbhfive> edogzilla: that doesn't seem right
[05:57] <edogzilla> ?
[05:57] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, post this /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:57] <mattgyver83> Martyr, when you turn the compute ron, do you get a screen that is like a terminal window with a blue background
[05:58] <edogzilla> danhbfive:ah there u are
[05:58] <Martyr2k6> matt, no I do not
[05:58] <edogzilla> danhbfive: whats not right?
[05:58] <Martyr2k6> zen, what do you mean by post?
[05:58] <Martyr2k6> in terminal?
[05:58] <mattgyver83> Martyr, i think when you installed you chose not to install Grub or Lilo which i believe is an option.
[05:58] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, post the file /boot/grub/menu.lst onto a link so i can see it
[05:59] <Martyr2k6> not sure how to do that zen
[05:59] <Martyr2k6> matt, is this somehting I can fix without having to reinstall vista?
[05:59] <danbhfive> edogzilla: well, it should post a pastebin like link.  Maybe the sudo apt-get install pastebinit failed.  Try running that alone
[05:59] <mattgyver83> Martyr, yeah i dont think its a big problem.
[05:59] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, is ubuntu the master?
[05:59] <mattgyver83> Martyr, as long as you did select the right partition.
[05:59] <ryan_> Speaking of grub...
[05:59] <edogzilla> danhbfive: it did fail i think. well, it said something like that anyway
[06:00] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, run ifconfig.  Tell me what your interface names (ie; eth0, eth0, something like that)
[06:00] <Martyr2k6> the ubuntu is on a pata drive and the vista is on a sata drive, which I thought the sata took precedence over pata
[06:00] <edogzilla> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com isn't a pastebin link?
[06:00] <ryan_> Any idea why mine will stop the countdown to autoboot default at 2 seconds left?
[06:00] <Martyr2k6> yeah, when installing ubuntu I made sure to select the 120 gig drive
[06:00] <zenlunatic> well you need to use grub as vista doesn't support booting linux... you gotta do chainloader
[06:01] <Martyr2k6> and zen how do I post whatever you wanted me to post
[06:01] <JosephD> matt. link encap:Local Loopback           inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>     Mask<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:01] <Martyr2k6> not sure I follow, again, total noob here
[06:01] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, is that all that shows?  That basically means you have no connection.
[06:01] <hayes_> i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers. does anyone know what I can do?
[06:02] <mattgyver83> anyone know if the live cd mem test is gonna tell me if my HD is fubar?
[06:02] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, just paste the file menu.lst to http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[06:02] <JosephD> matt, yes that's all that shows, how can I get it to connect to the wired internet it's hooked up to at the moment?
[06:02] <rgarcia> hi, does anybody know how do i instal jre6 for 64-b arch?
[06:02] <danbhfive> edogzilla: no, its a  link to the ubuntu repository
[06:02] <mattgyver83> Joesph, i was wondering the same thing.... i started to think it was a different computer.
[06:02] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, boot to ubuntu and sudo gedit /boot/grub.menu.lst highlight all then paste
[06:03] <zenlunatic> i mean /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:03] <edogzilla> danhbfive: ok, u want me to run sudo apt-get install pastebinit by itself and then post the link?
[06:03] <mattgyver83> hayes_ does it happen with all apps?
[06:04] <rgarcia> could anybody help me?
[06:04] <JosephD> matt, is there a command I can use to connect? or should it automatically happen when the cable is in?
[06:04] <hayes_> it happens all the time whether sound should be playing or not.
[06:04] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, i was gonna say try to up and down the interface but I have no idea if your on the internet why your not getting a connection.  I think im missing something.
[06:04] <Martyr2k6> http://paste.ubuntu.com/145270/
[06:04] <Martyr2k6> there I hope that I did that right
[06:04] <edogzilla> danhbfive: what do i do if it fails again?
[06:04] <ryan_> Does anyone know, is there a free IRC client that supports scripts (Like mIRC for windows)
[06:04] <JosephD> matt, up and down the interface?
[06:05] <mattgyver83> ryan_ xchat
[06:05] <oronto> hello guy
[06:05] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, (ie: sudo ifdown eth1; sudo ifup eth1)
[06:06] <JosephD> matt, interface eth1 not configured
[06:06] <J_Litewski> how do i make an acpi event shell script?
[06:06] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, no wonder you can't boot vista... grub doesn't know about it :D
[06:06] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, yeah thats what i figured.
[06:06] <rgarcia> anybody?
[06:06] <mattgyver83> hayes_ you might want to try to select a different driver, i have to remember how though ';\
[06:06] <Martyr2k6> <---- NOOBSAUCE
[06:06] <JosephD> matt, how would I go about configuring it?
[06:06] <zenlunatic> rgarcia, help with what
[06:06] <Martyr2k6> ok so how to make it aware of it
[06:06] <hayes_> ok matt let me know, thanks
[06:07] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, one sec
[06:07] <Martyr2k6> k
[06:08] <rgarcia> i habe kubuntu 8.04 64-B arch...and i have to install jre6
[06:08] <mattgyver83> hayes_, try selecting different drivers @ System-Preferences-Sound
[06:08] <rgarcia> but i don't know
[06:08] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, firstly do this... sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak
[06:08] <mattgyver83> hayes_ Try ALSA first.
[06:08] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, backup what works
[06:08] <Dexi> Hey anyone interested, just tossin it out: Facebook is hiring a linux ninja
[06:09] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, ...I dont understand how your online and not showing an interface.
[06:09] <hayes_> I use xubuntu is it the same?
[06:09] <bonez46> mattgyver83: got a question.. every time I shutdown. or reboot.. my system takes a minute, literally, closing some ALSA process.. how can I resolve it so it shuts down immediately?
[06:09] <Martyr2k6> ok done
[06:09] <mattgyver83> Um, More or less
[06:09] <JosephD> matt, im on a working laptop in this chat, and the laptop with the problem is another one
[06:09] <Flannel> Dexi: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. thanks.
[06:09] <mattgyver83> bonez46, im not too sure.
[06:10] <mattgyver83> Oh, that makes sense.
[06:10] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, sorry i don't dual boot some i have to google
[06:10] <bonez46> anyone know? how to resolve an ALSA issue.. where it won't close correct?
[06:10] <JosephD> haha sorry
[06:10] <Martyr2k6> its cool, ultimately I would have had to do that as well if no one had helped me
[06:10] <mattgyver83> JosephD, this might sound silly but... .check your eth cable.  Maybe its dead
[06:11] <JosephD> matt, the cable's fine
[06:11] <mattgyver83> could the nic card be dead?
[06:11] <J_Litewski> could the nic card be using eth0, not eth1?
[06:12] <xun> Hi, I'm using "Separated X screen" for my Nvidia card, somehow when I click on an icon in screen 1, it always opens in screen 2(in fact everything opens in screen 2). how can I specify which screen to open it from?
[06:12] <rage> Is there a simple method for chown'ing all files owned by user-a only to user-b recursively?
[06:12] <mattgyver83> J_Litewski, according to him its only showing the lo connection
[06:12] <J_Litewski> hmm
[06:12] <rage> Basically I want to chown -R userB dir/ #only if owned by userA
[06:13] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, whens the last time you got online with that machine?
[06:13] <JosephD> wirelessly a week or two ago
[06:13] <JosephD> well 'ifconfig eth0'   showed me the ethernet details
[06:13] <mattgyver83> Is it a wifi adapter, or built in?
[06:13] <zenlunatic> anyone know how to tell grub about roots?  it's different from other distros
[06:13] <JosephD> built in wireless
[06:13] <Frijolie> anybody familiar with comix--the package?
[06:13] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, try; sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[06:14] <mattgyver83> then try sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[06:14] <Guest26350> in need of some help
[06:14] <JosephD> Permission denied
[06:14] <mattgyver83> did you sudo?
[06:14] <hayes_> i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I use xubuntu. I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers all the time even when there should be no sound. does anyone know what I can do?
[06:14] <JosephD> oops lol
[06:14] <Martyr2k6> let me know when you are ready matt, or zen or whoever is helping me
[06:15] <mattgyver83> Martyr, where were we?
[06:15] <J_Litewski> hayes_ are you using the ALSA driver?
[06:15] <Guest26350> I am trying to install the driver for my audigy 2 ZS sound card, but dont know how to access my BIOS
[06:15] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, I'm stuck... i haven't been using ubuntu in weeks
[06:15] <JosephD> matt, I typed it in with sudo and now its not doing anything just waiting for another command
[06:15] <hayes_> How do I check?
[06:15] <thrillERboy> hey guys how to install lamp on ubuntu 8.10 desktop version? I did some search, I get results for installing on ubuntu server? any good links are greatly appreciated. thanks
[06:15] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, thats all it will do
[06:15] <Martyr2k6> matt, I was posting my boot file for grub to you
[06:15] <Guest26350> I am trying to install the driver for my audigy 2 ZS sound card, but dont know how to access my BIOS
[06:16] <JosephD> oh so what exactly do i do now?
[06:16] <J_Litewski> Guest26350, the BIOS van be accessed when your computer first boots up, it's usually F2 or something like that
[06:16] <Martyr2k6> you had me back up everything
[06:16] <mattgyver83> Martyr, that was Zen
[06:16] <Martyr2k6> and said that grub couldn't see loading vista as an option
[06:16] <judasmoses> exit
[06:16] <Martyr2k6> oh
[06:16] <Martyr2k6> noob again
[06:16] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, try sudo apt-get update again
[06:17] <JosephD> same as last time
[06:17] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, but basically your menu.lst needs to be told where vista is, which is the root= part, but ubuntu's is different from CentOS so I ddon't know...
[06:17] <Martyr2k6> gravy
[06:17] <Frijolie> ..guess that's a negative
[06:17] <xun> so can someone help? I'm using "Separated X screen" for my Nvidia card, somehow when I click on an icon in screen 1, it always opens in screen 2(in fact everything opens in screen 2). how can I specify which screen to open it from?
[06:17] <mattgyver83> Martyr, hold on i can give you an idea, let me check mine
[06:17] <Martyr2k6> k
[06:18] <hayes_> how do I check if I am using the ALSA drivers?
[06:18] <rage_> yo somebody know an application that could help me emulate an acces point?
[06:18] <mattgyver83> hayes_ when you go into your sound preferences its either set to autodetect or it will show ALSA, or ALSAmixer
[06:19] <J_Litewski> hanes_, Applications/Settings?mixer
[06:19] <rage_> or if you got  a recent distribution , it could be as a default
[06:19] <mattgyver83> martyr, pastebin your menu.lst @ pastebin.com, give me the link
[06:19] <hayes_> mattgyver83 I use xubuntu and I dont see those menu options.
[06:20] <mattgyver83> It will be in your preferences menu wherever you find your keyboard, mouse, apps
[06:20] <J_Litewski> hanes_, open a terminal and type xfce4-mixer
[06:20] <rage> rage_: hostap can emulate an access point however most wireless cards cannot be put in the correct mode to do so
[06:20] <Stepan1> Any way to have all the desktop icons same size?  And when a new item is saved to desktop, it automatically lines up beneath the previous icon, kinda like in MS?
[06:20] <rage> rage_: prism2 cards for example are on of the few
[06:21] <rage> *one of
[06:21] <zenlunatic> mattgyver83, why is the root= on ubuntu menu.lst all cryptic, compared to redhat
[06:21] <mattgyver83> Stepan, right click desktop, select Keep Aligned
[06:21] <JosephD> matt, it just does the same thing it did last time, says it failed to download
[06:22] <mattgyver83> zen, not too sure i havent used redhat
[06:22] <darkhelmetlive> does anybody have a vista/ubuntu dual boot system working with ubuntu also available to run as a VM under vmware on vista?
[06:22] <darkhelmetlive> (or xp really)
[06:22] <rage_> thanks man
[06:22] <Stepan1> mattgyver83: that is already checked, doesnt help.  see, all the icons are a different size, images and pdfs are larger than folders.  i dont want to manually stretch /reduce the size of each either
[06:22] <hayes_> mattgyver83 it doesnt see the device at all
[06:22] <mattgyver83> martry, check this http://pastebin.com/m30082212
[06:22] <rage> not a problem :-)
[06:23] <Martyr2k6> http://pastebin.com/m70f2cd1c
[06:23] <rage_> ill try playing with hostap, naybe i can make the thing work to an acceptable level
[06:23] <mattgyver83> martyr, dont edit anything yet
[06:23] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, there you go
[06:23] <Martyr2k6> not touching a thing
[06:23] <rage> rage_: What wireless chipset do you have?
[06:23] <Martyr2k6> what?
[06:23] <rage_> i got a marvell
[06:23] <rage> mmmm
[06:23] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, you backed up menu.lst
[06:24] <rage_> i know is a piece of crap
[06:24] <Martyr2k6> yes, yes I did I guess
[06:24] <zenlunatic> Martyr2k6, hosing grub is not a critical situation
[06:24] <rage> I do not beleive there is any method of doing it with that chipset. But feel free to look around
[06:24] <mattgyver83> zen, i see what you mean, mine is nothing like that
[06:24] <zenlunatic> mattgyver83, yeah ;D
[06:24] <Martyr2k6> it is when you don't know jack about what you are doing
[06:25] <hayes_> mattgyver83 it doesnt see the device at all
[06:25] <rage_> its ok , im doing it just for fun, just to make something cool out my old ibm
[06:25] <Martyr2k6> I tell you I was going through synaptic the other night attempting to "uninstall" unwanted files, and slowly, I watched my os become a trainwreck
[06:25] <rage> Fair enough :-)
[06:25] <Doitle> What header needs to be included to use uid in a sys_call?
[06:25] <mattgyver83> JoesphD, i really dont know what else could be wrong
[06:25] <Martyr2k6> I wanted to look away, but couldn't bring myself to do so
[06:25] <Martyr2k6> so I got popcorn
[06:25] <mattgyver83> Unless its a bad card
[06:25] <JosephD> I'm going to restart my computer and see if I can get past login now
[06:26] <mattgyver83> Martyr, i have no idea what the heck uuid is
[06:26] <mattgyver83> oh wait n/m
[06:27] <Martyr2k6> uuid sounds like something macaddress related
[06:27] <Doitle> no like a Uid for a user
[06:27] <rage_> see ya dudes,
[06:27] <mattgyver83> Martyr, i have no idea if what im about to tell you to do is going to help you, or just set you back further but.. you could try this..
[06:27] <JosephD> it just may have randomly been fixed somehow
[06:27] <Martyr2k6> oh dear
[06:28] <Martyr2k6> ok lets try it, worst that could happen is that I suck it up and follow the tutorials and reinstall and update vista
[06:28] <Martyr2k6> which thats only 2 hours of my life, nothing on a night like this
[06:29] <mattgyver83> martyr, go there ill explain
[06:29] <mattgyver83> http://pastebin.com/m6d99970b
[06:29] <Martyr2k6> I'm there
[06:29] <JosephD> so now it doesnt give me a wireless option at all
[06:29] <mattgyver83> Add the the lines underneath the first higlight, 156-160
[06:30] <hayes_> i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I use xubuntu. I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers all the time even when there should be no sound. does anyone know what I can do?
[06:30] <mattgyver83> on line 157, we need to put the where its located.  I only know how to cheat to sorta find this out.  Open System - Administration - Partition Editor.... for gods sake dont press anything after that
[06:31] <Martyr2k6> lol
[06:31] <mattgyver83> Okay, How many ntfs file systems are shown?
[06:32] <zenlunatic> sorry bathroom
[06:33] <Martyr2k6> matt, are you talking about on the ubuntu drive or the vista drive
[06:33] <mattgyver83> ... or better yet, if you click the drop down menu @ top right does it show anything other that /dev/sda?  Im not sure how this will appear in your case.
[06:34] <zenlunatic> mattgyver83, he said he has two drives
[06:34] <Martyr2k6> dev/sda1 is my linux drive, and dev/sdb1 is my vista drive
[06:34] <zenlunatic> mattgyver83, earlier
[06:34] <Miesco> What kinds of apps is linux currently lacking in?
[06:34] <zenlunatic> remember grub doesn't use /dev first
[06:34] <Flannel> Miesco: that sort of question would be better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:34] <zenlunatic> they use the bios scheme
[06:34] <hayes_> i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I use xubuntu. I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers all the time even when there should be no sound. does anyone know what I can do?
[06:34] <Martyr2k6> ok under my vista drive, alls I see is unallocated, then /dev/sdb1 ntfs
[06:35] <mattgyver83> Success, that got us nowhere.
[06:35] <Martyr2k6> so there is a 1mb is unallocated, and 465.76gb
[06:35] <J_Litewski> hayes_, the ASLA drivers don't work?
[06:35] <Martyr2k6> lol
[06:35] <Martyr2k6> yeah, welcome to my life
[06:36] <mattgyver83> Martyr, Im thinking that your vista partition might be the same as mine, (hd0, 0), if its the first drive
[06:36] <Martyr2k6> yeah it is
[06:36] <Martyr2k6> one sec and I will verify
[06:36] <hayes_> i don't know xfce4-mixer doesn't see it
[06:36] <admin_masu3701> usser: wanna see what i came up with?
[06:36] <mattgyver83> I dont think really anything will go wrong by changing it, worst that will happen is it wont boot, you will have to reboot and get into ubuntu again.
[06:36] <mattgyver83> Might even just error out.
[06:37] <mattgyver83> But i dont know, its a gamble.
[06:37] <Flannel> Martyr2k6: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145276/
[06:37] <Martyr2k6> flannel, whats this
[06:37] <Flannel> Martyr2k6: Try that menu.lst
[06:38] <Martyr2k6> so what do I do, copy and past it into my current one?
[06:38] <Flannel> Martyr2k6: alt-f2 then type "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" then enter, password, copy/paste, yeah.
[06:38] <J_Litewski> hanes_, check synaptic and see if alsa-base is installed
[06:39] <Guest17556> In need of some assistance
[06:39] <Flannel> Martyr2k6: Oh, wait... one more change to that, before you save.  Up near the top, theres a line that says "hiddenmenu" put a # infront of that (# hiddenmenu)
[06:39] <dumb_dumb> guys i need help with ubuntu server 8.04
[06:40] <dumb_dumb> i want to update ubuntu from the main reporsitory how can i do that?

[06:41] <CapaH> I should say - does anyone here have a 12 button (or similar) mouse?
[06:41] <dumb_dumb> cause i always get error message when do apt-get update
[06:41] <Doitle> I was told to add a syscall that had this in it to my kernel if(current->uid ^= current->uid) -EPERM. Any ideas what it does?
[06:41] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: pastebin the errors please.
[06:42] <Martyr2k6> flannel, what do you mean ?

[06:43] <aaditya> how can i find out whether a laptop is using ACPI or APM?
[06:44] <ariqs> what's a good debugger/profiler for c++ programs for linux?
[06:44] <stephenjudkins> I am trying to start apache2 and it keeps saying "port already in use".  other programs (running as root) also say that port 80 is in use.  however, there are no httpd processes and netstat and lsof report nothing is using port 80
[06:44] <Guest17556> i need help installing drivers for my audigy 2 zs audio card
[06:44] <Flannel> stephenjudkins: How are you trying to start it?
[06:44] <dumb_dumb> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/111254/
[06:44] <CapaH> Is anyone here able to tell me why xbindkeys doesn't seem to work right with Compiz fusion ?
[06:44] <stephenjudkins> Flannel: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[06:45] <aaditya> stephenjudkins: # netstat -nltp |grep 80
[06:45] <stephenjudkins> Flannel: however, other programs (notable python web server) also can't serve from port 80 when run as root
[06:45] <dumb_dumb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/145278/
[06:45] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Alright, so you're using a mirror that has been taken down it seems.
[06:46] <JosephD> How do I hide the launcher?

[06:46] <ekohardi> why my xampp can't change to php4
[06:46] <J_Litewski> when do programs in cron.daily usually run?
[06:46] <dumb_dumb> that`s way i`m asking how if i want to used main reporsitory?
[06:46] <stealth-> how can I tell ALL the open ports on my machine?
[06:46] <stephenjudkins> aaditya: it's a UUID daemon that's causing it.
[06:46] <aaditya> stephenjudkins: interesting
[06:46] <Flannel> ekohardi: xampp isn't supported in this channel.  We recommend you use a proper LAMP stack.  And php4 is ancient.
[06:47] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: "main" appears to be a third party repository.  I'm not sure what it is.
[06:47] <stephenjudkins> aaditya: i am using python 2.6's built-in UUID module
[06:47] <dumb_dumb> so any suggestion
[06:47] <|ikeNoOther> how can I have the graficall ubuntu loading bar back? (I mean when my computer boots to ubuntu)
[06:47] <|ikeNoOther> graphical* ;)
[06:47] <ekohardi> in moregroupware its need a php4 but can it run php5
[06:48] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Just use the official repos.  You really don't need third party repos.

[06:49] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) and I'll take a look.
[06:49] <Firefishe> I just isntalled 8.10.  I'm getting the following startup errors:  hal won't start properly and gives me a warning asking me if dbus is running/has been started.  dbus error gives me a warning about a file: /var/lib/machine-id needing a 32 char hex string instead of 0.

[06:54] <dumb_dumb> i used the local reporsitory
[06:55] <dumb_dumb> now i want to used ubuntu main reporsitory
[06:55] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Alright.  I see what your issue is.  And we'll get it all sorted out.  Also, you should upgrade (within the next week) to Hardy, since Gutsy will soon be out of support.
[06:56] <asdfqwer> where is at in gconf-editor that I edit keybindings?
[06:56] <dumb_dumb> but is it the hardy not stable version
[06:56] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: no, Hardy is stable.
[06:56] <dumb_dumb> when i see the ubuntu for the server is not stable yet
[06:56] <ndshacker> how can I speed up my internet on ubuntu? Im on broadband so it sould NOT take 15 seconds to load google
[06:56] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145280/
[06:57] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Thats your new sources.list
[06:57] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Hardy has been out for almost a year now.  Its definately stable.
[06:57] <Martyr2k6> ok no dice
[06:57] <Martyr2k6> it said that it couldn't load bootmgr
[06:57] <Martyr2k6> press ctrl-alt-del to restart
[06:57] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: also, 8.04 has the benefit of being supported for three years (its an LTS) on the desktop, and five on the server.
[06:57] <tuna>  love wireless internet
[06:58] <ndshacker> this thing takes nearly 15 seconds to change pages in gmail
[06:58] <ndshacker> now ere up to 30 for a page
[06:58] <JosephD> somehow that fixing process deleted my wireless driver I think
[06:58] <Flannel> Martyr2k6: After you chose the windows option?
[06:58] <mikere> ndshacker: not sure I can solve your problem, but are you using a static ip or dns?
[06:58] <Martyr2k6> yeah
[06:58] <shantanu> hi folks :)
[06:59] <girevikmoto> i just installed the proprietary nvidia driver, and upon reboot i have no video ouput at all once the OS loads
[06:59] <ndshacker> mikere: dhcp so dns i geuss
[06:59] <girevikmoto> help please?
[06:59] <Flannel> Martyr2k6: sounds like your windows bootloader is messed up some how.
[06:59] <dumb_dumb> I see
[06:59] <mikere> ndshacker: yeah, my bad on that typo
[06:59] <Martyr2k6> interesting
[06:59] <Kesman> girevikmoto: sorry, no help in support channels... why are you asking to ask for help?
[06:59] <Kesman> :D
[06:59] <mikere> ndshacker: was hoping perhaps there was an ip conflict that could easily be solved, but that's obviously not it
[06:59] <cellofellow> firefox refuses to start. I type 'firefox' at the terminal and it does absolutely nothing. What can I do?
[06:59] <ndshacker> mikere: but it does not change, its just not static since that takes 10$ extra a month
[06:59] <TheMusicGuy> Is it possible to use my laptop's internal wi-fi card as an access point AND as a network adapter to another access point at the same time?
[07:00] <cellofellow> firefox-3.5 works though
[07:00] <girevikmoto> how do i regain video output
[07:00] <dumb_dumb> i used the 8.04
[07:00] <tsrk> i want to ssh into a machine, run a command, and put that output in a local file, how would i do that?
[07:00] <ndshacker> I have about: config tweaks and ipv6 turned off
[07:00] <girevikmoto> this is in ubuntu studio 8.04.1
[07:00] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: What does "lsb_release -a" give you?

[07:00] <lstarnes> tsrk: try ssh user@host command > local-file
[07:00] <dumb_dumb> hardy
[07:00] <tsrk> lstarnes, that'll go to local and not remote?
[07:00] <mikere> ndshacker: have you tried to ping or traceroute on google?
[07:01] <ndshacker> how can I throttle my parents connection >.<
[07:01] <cellofellow> tsrk: ssh thehost thecommand > localfile
[07:01] <ndshacker> no not yet
[07:01] <lstarnes> tsrk: local.  bash parses > as redirection from a local command
[07:01] <dumb_dumb> release 8.04
[07:01] <ryan_> Does anyone know like a download site for Compiz-switch for some reason it's not in my Synaptic package manager... it would make it a lot less of a pain in the ass
[07:01] <tsrk> lstarnes, ah, ok
[07:01] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Alright.  Then those sources are wrong.  Let me give you correct ones.
[07:01] <ndshacker> mikere: about a secondand a half
[07:01] <Kesman> ryan_: google for it, I looked for it sometime ago and it was easily accessed via google
[07:02] <dumb_dumb> ok sory for my mistake
[07:02] <dumb_dumb> :D
[07:02] <dumb_dumb> i`m new on linux
[07:02] <girevikmoto> how do i repeal the non functional nvidia driver
[07:02] <Martyr2k6> allright brb, need smokes
[07:02] <cellofellow> anybody else having a completely non-responsive firefox? I like midori, opera, shiretoko, but I use firefox 3.0 all the time and need it.
[07:02] <mikere> ndshacker: ouch.  That's brutal latency.  I take it you aren't on a router, just a cable or dsl modem?
[07:02] <dumb_dumb> so for the interpid that not stable yet, am i right?
[07:02] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145281/
[07:02] <ndshacker> mikere: a second is brutal?
[07:03] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Intrepid is stable.  Jaunty is not.  But you might want to consider sticking with Hardy anyway, due to the LTS.
[07:03] <ndshacker> and im on a router i think?
[07:03] <Kesman> dumb_dumb: intrepid is stable, but not long-term-supported
[07:03] <ndshacker> it s a 2wire
[07:03] <mikere> ndshacker: yep, I'm getting 38ms and I live out in the boondocks
[07:03] <tsrk> newbie question: if I use > to put the output in a file that already exists, does it get overwritten?
[07:03] <ndshacker> um... maybe im reading it wrong?
[07:03] <Flannel> tsrk: yes.  >> will append
[07:03] <stealth-> tsrk: yes
[07:03] <dumb_dumb> i see
[07:03] <lstarnes> tsrk: yes.  you could use >> instead to add to the file rather than overwriting
[07:03] <ndshacker> mikere: 1400 ms to be exact
[07:03] <Ropechoborra> Is there a command to configure downloaded packages from an apt update without downloading them again?
[07:03] <ulterior_modem> Hi! I am running ubuntu 8.10, and I'm having an issue with my floppy drive. Namely, that it doesnt show up in /dev . The machine's bios will boot from it fine. I'm kind of stumped. Did the default ubuntu kernel have this left out of it
[07:03] <ulterior_modem> ?
[07:04] <tsrk> Wow, thanks everyone!
[07:04] <mikere> ndshacker: 1.4 seconds - brutal.

[07:05] <girevikmoto> how do i rollback to the opensource nv driver from the proprietary nvidia driver?
[07:05] <asdfqewr> like touch-typing?
[07:05]  * cellofellow likes typespeed but it's not a tutor.
[07:05] <ndshacker> could it be that my rents are torrenting?
[07:05] <Flannel> asdfqewr: there are.  gtypist is one (terminal only), I'm sure there's a GUI as well.
[07:05] <girevikmoto> when i installed the nvidia driver and rebooted, i have no video output at all
[07:05] <ndshacker> mikere: im on a router, but I can network

[07:06]  * cellofellow tries gtypist
[07:06] <mikere> ndshacker: is it only on this linux box you have problems?
[07:06] <asdfqewr> Flannel, anooptp learning touch-typing gets me nostalgic, brings me back to this mario game i used to play to learn how to touch type
[07:06] <ndshacker> um.. i only have one box lol

[07:08] <girevikmoto> once i get past the ubuntu splash screen with the loading bar, the scren goes black
[07:08] <icenine> ndshacker: isp filters ICMP
[07:08] <girevikmoto> *screen
[07:08] <ndshacker> icenine: my internet sucks too, but only just now
[07:08] <stealth-> ndshacker: id doubt it would be due to ubutnu, check to see if your running any torrents or any other download programs, maybe try again tomorrow to see if its a constant issue
[07:08] <ndshacker> its not just ping
[07:08] <cellofellow> anooptp: just trying gtypist and I like it, and typespeed is fun especially when you get a network Head2Head game going.
[07:08] <ndshacker> stealth-: my parents culd be?
[07:08] <ndshacker> my dad likes to set them at night
[07:09] <dumb_dumb> one more thing any one here got a nice step-by-step tutorial to install xen on ubuntu hardy that works?

[07:09] <cellofellow> ok, I need to learn typing on the numbers row a bit better.
[07:09] <ndshacker> stealth-: ok thanks
[07:09] <stealth-> rbo_: sudo apt-get update before doing anything
[07:09] <asdfqewr> girevikmoto, first i'd boot into single-user mode; sudo aptitude remove nvidia-glx-new [or whatever glx driver you installed] then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:09] <TheMusicGuy> does anyone know what ##networking is for?
[07:09] <asdfqewr> to reconfigure your xserver
[07:09] <cellofellow> anooptp: I said try tuxtyping, ktouch, and I was just trying gtypist and I like it too.
[07:09] <lstarnes> TheMusicGuy: networking support
[07:10] <rbo_> stealth-: i did it
[07:10] <stealth-> TheMusicGuy: networking issues...?
[07:10] <rbo_> stealth-: no result
[07:10] <madsj> what should I install in order to be able to write appointments in the clock-applet for each date ?
[07:10] <TheMusicGuy> it looks like its some kind of testing ground to me.
[07:10] <anooptp> cellofellow	 i dont understanto

[07:10] <asdfqewr> anooptp, how well do you know english?
[07:10] <ekohardi> flannel this is the script
[07:11] <stealth-> rbo_: did you quit apt in the middle of a installation, update, upgrade, etc?
[07:11] <dumb_dumb> flannel : i got this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/145283/
[07:11] <cellofellow> anooptp: tux typing is a game program that will teach typing. ktouch is a kde program that will teach typing. gtypist is a terminal/ncurses program that will teach typing.
[07:11] <madsj> and how do I get Monday as the first day of the week in the clock applet ?
[07:11] <dumb_dumb> it say GPG error

[07:12] <Kesman> gera: what kind of problems?
[07:12] <girevikmoto> jsut a blank screen
[07:12] <asdfqewr> girevikmoto, i just told you
[07:12] <asdfqewr> girevikmoto, first i'd boot into single-user mode; sudo aptitude remove nvidia-glx-new [or whatever glx driver you installed] then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:12] <cellofellow> I learned with Mavis Beacon when in 2nd grade. Only thing useful I ever learned that year.
[07:12] <edogzilla> girevikmoto: me too
[07:12] <aLegendaryPengui> mavis beacon?
[07:12] <aLegendaryPengui> that fool
[07:13] <ekohardi> thanks for your help!
[07:13] <gera> I got stuck at the acpi-support installation, can someone help me?
[07:13] <girevikmoto> sorry i missed that post, thank you asdfqewr
[07:13] <asdfqewr> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg will reconfigure you xserver and rollback your configuration
[07:13] <dumb_dumb> guys i got error http://paste.ubuntu.com/145283/ when try to used apt-get update on my ubuntu 8,04 server
[07:13] <anooptp> cellofellow thank u vru much
[07:13] <Kesman> gera: you could try to run this in terminal "sudo apt-get update" without quotes and see if there's any errors
[07:13] <dumb_dumb> any one could help me guys?
[07:13] <asdfqewr> girevikmoto, sudo aptitude search nvidia | less
[07:13] <stealth-> rbo_: that can cause issues, there is a way to reset it, but i cant remember it at the moment and i have to logout pretty soon. Maybe somone else knows or you can google it, sorry, but i have to leave sooner than i expected. Good luck
[07:13] <asdfqewr> and see what drivers you're currently using
[07:13] <Kesman> gera: then run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to update all the packages
[07:13] <anooptp> bye
[07:13] <cellofellow> aLegendaryPengui: like I had a choice on what typing tutor my school used when I was 7 years old.
[07:14] <rbo_> stealth-: damnation
[07:14] <aLegendaryPengui> think i learned how to type
[07:14] <aLegendaryPengui> no
[07:14] <aLegendaryPengui> the trick to typing good is to use a computer a lot
[07:14] <Kesman> yeah
[07:14] <Kesman> irc and forums are great
[07:14] <asdfqewr> i didn't learn how to touch type numbers till my 20s
[07:14] <asdfqewr> linux helped resolve that though
[07:14] <Kesman> what's touch typing?
[07:14] <cellofellow> I need to break the habit of putting a space after every comma.
[07:14] <edogzilla> how do i do a complete uniinstall of my nvidia graphics driver? when i installed the recommended thrid party driver is messed up my whole system and now i cant get to the gui desktop.
[07:14] <aLegendaryPengui> i can type anything with my eyes closed
[07:14] <asdfqewr> just mean not looking at your fingers
[07:15] <aLegendaryPengui> its a level of typing not seen in 500 years
[07:15] <aLegendaryPengui> know how skilled I am?
[07:15] <girevikmoto> alright time to boot back into the non functional distro
[07:15] <aLegendaryPengui> i can take one finger and put it down randomly
[07:15] <Flannel> !offtopic
[07:15] <aLegendaryPengui> ill know what key im on
[07:15] <rbo_> stealth-: it's weak
[07:15] <ariqs> what's a good debugger/profiler for c++ programs for linux?
[07:15] <aLegendaryPengui> Flannel, fight my character http://legendarypenguin.mybrute.com
[07:15] <stealth-> rbo_: what is?
[07:15] <dumb_dumb> Flannel : i`m still got error when try to update
[07:16] <rbo_> stealth-: apt is weak then
[07:16] <stealth-> rbo_: heh
[07:16] <edogzilla> flannel: i figured out the problem from before...its my graphics driver. any idea how to remove it?
[07:16] <remu> Hey folks, I have a small home network, 4 computers and 1 server. I installed squid and dansguardian on my server and have it configured and it works if I set the proxy manually in firefox. I am using the tomato firmware on my router, and was wondering what is the best way to make sure that all http requests on my lan go through the squid proxy?
[07:16] <Flannel> edogzilla: Someone here will.  I'm not really a big graphics guy.
[07:16] <Jingly> no u Flannel
[07:17] <_stochastic_> What's the easiest way to share files between a normal install and a VM install of Ubuntu?  Is it possible to scp between them?  if so, what IP do you use?
[07:17] <edogzilla> flannel: ok. can anyone here help me
[07:17] <edogzilla> ?
[07:17] <cellofellow> Well, finally broke 30wpm and <3% error rate typing numbers.
[07:17] <edogzilla> all i wanna do is uninstall my third party nvidia graphics driver from the command line
[07:18] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and then see if you still get that error.
[07:18] <Jingly> That's what she said.
[07:19] <Xcell> edogzilla--  i have to go..but here is a hint... in console  type envyng  it will ask you to install...then go from there..good nite and good luck
[07:19] <Jingly> no u Xcell
[07:19] <Xcell> ?
[07:19] <edogzilla> can someone tell me how to uninstall my nvidia graphics driver from the command line? I'm a noob and would really appreciate it plz?
[07:19] <Flannel> Jingly: Please stop that.
[07:19] <dumb_dumb> is that mean i have to upgrade the distro version?
[07:19] <Jingly> NOOOOO!! :(
[07:19] <Jingly> I dunno.
[07:19] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Nope
[07:19] <Jingly> That's what she said.
 I set up a samba share folder to transfer files b/w VM machines & host Ubuntu.  Is that what you're asking?
[07:19] <edogzilla> xcell: i tried that. it in stalled but i dont have the slightest idea how to run it
[07:20] <Shinu> erm wtf
[07:20] <Shinu> Flannel: Did you kick him?
[07:20] <Flannel> Shinu: I did.
[07:20] <Shinu> What kind of IRC server shows a kick as a part O_o
[07:20] <_stochastic_> polo177, well both of my OS (the virtual and the host) are versions of Ubuntu - I don't think Samba is the best way to go about that is it?
[07:20] <lstarnes> Shinu: that was a /remove, not a /kick
[07:21] <Shinu> oh
[07:21] <Shinu> it stops kick on rejoiners right?
[07:21] <kravlin> Flannel: is it just me or have we been getting a lot more hecklers lately?
[07:21] <lstarnes> Shinu: it's a rare feature used only on freenode and some other networks for forcing parts
[07:21] <Xcell> edogzilla--  then @ boot  go to recovery and re-do xserver with..  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:21] <Shinu> Ah cool
[07:21] <polo177> _stochastic_, yeah, you're right my VMs are windows. I guess I don't know the best solution, but samba would work.
[07:21] <lstarnes> Shinu: mainly to combat autorejoin or confuse the target
[07:21] <Flannel> kravlin: It ebbs and flows.  Spring break and all.
[07:21] <dumb_dumb> flannel i still got the same problems
[07:22] <Shinu> haha nice ^^
[07:22] <_stochastic_> polo177, what's the IP address that you give Samba to latch onto? <IP_ADDRESS>?
[07:22] <edogzilla> xcell: cool thx. that will remove the pesky driver?
[07:23] <dumb_dumb> error GPG
[07:23] <lstarnes> dumb_dumb: for medibuntu?
[07:23] <Xcell> edogzilla--  it will give you a choice of card allocation.. pick nvidia
[07:23] <edogzilla> xcell: ok, is there another step?
[07:23] <dumb_dumb> no i used ubuntu server 8.04
[07:23] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: That happens sometimes when theres some network issues.  It should go away on its own sometime soon (try again tomorrow)
[07:23] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: not network issues on your end.
[07:24] <Xcell> edogzilla--  just re-do the card.. keep the rest the same..
[07:24] <edogzilla> xcell: ok i will try that
[07:24] <Xcell> edogzilla--  should work
[07:24] <dumb_dumb> flannel : but my network it seems ok
[07:24] <reval> I just tried gentoo, lol. so thanks to all the people that have good attitudes and try to help others in this sort of channel
[07:25] <dumb_dumb> could it be the firewall rules?
[07:25] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: Right, it has nothing to do with your network.  It has to do with some of the archive servers having issues and lagging a little.
[07:25] <dumb_dumb> so there`s nothing wrong with my ubuntu installation .
[07:25] <Flannel> dumb_dumb: correct.
[07:27] <dumb_dumb> since i have try to re-install my server several times for these week
[07:27] <dumb_dumb> and it seems that thing still occur
[07:27] <ariqs> what's a good debugger/profiler for c++ programs for linux?
[07:31] <Kartagis> good morning
[07:31] <polo177> _stochastic_: sorry I'm trying to remember (I think most of this was automatic when setting up the vmware), but the vm client sees my samba share through its public address, the one the rest of the computers see on my network
[07:32] <Kartagis> why does my xorg.conf get re-written everytime I reboot/restart X?
[07:32] <anooptp> urtutyu
[07:32] <_stochastic_> polo177, okay thanks anyways I'll play around - it's good to know that it's at least feasible
[07:32] <polo177> _stochastic_: thats <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:34] <polo177> my question to the group is: how to resize a vmware image?  XP client on ubuntu 8.04 server.  I can't seem to find instructions online anywhere.
[07:38] <Kartagis> polo177, #vmware
[07:39] <almark1> Hello, I am using Ubuntu Hardy, I hear pop or click sounds in my audio, even since I installed a bunch of sound dev packages, I compiled ardour2.8, anyone know how to fix this? There was no pop until I compiled it.
 thanks, I'm logged on there too, but nobody's responding. figured I'd put my line out here too.  :)
[07:40] <almark1> I hear a pop sound every time I stop or start a sound.
[07:40] <shahan> hi, i was wondering if sed supports backreferences in ranges using patterns?
[07:40] <chyea> hi all. is there a command, or utility that scans the file system and removes broken sym links?
[07:40] <_stochastic_> almark1, is the poping happening while you're running ardour or throughout your ubuntu system (when jack is shutdown?)
[07:40] <almark1> the entire system
[07:40] <almark1> and when jack is shutdown
[07:41] <_stochastic_> is it happening when jack is running?
[07:41] <almark1> It messes with my music creation, who knows what it would do to recording.
[07:41] <almark1> Yes
[07:41] <almark1> it happens when Jack is running and when jack isn't
[07:41] <_stochastic_> do you have the realtime kernel installed?  is that running?
[07:42] <almark1> I'm not using pulse, I don't have it installed, Yes realtime kernel is running fine.
[07:42] <asdfqewr> Will Safari run on Ubuntu?
[07:42] <_stochastic_> almark1, do the pops happen when you're not running the realtime kernel?
[07:42] <almark1> I don't know, how do I check that?
[07:43] <almark1> The pops didn't happen at all, till this, I thought all was fine, my system is like 1 month old, at least 64studio Hardy
[07:43] <_stochastic_> almark1, you need to reboot and at the time of boot press esc to get your grub menu, then select a non-RT kernel
[07:43] <west_andy> hello
[07:43] <pronto> how do i mount a dvd via a network
[07:43] <almark1> Hope I have it, let me check my grub menu.1st
[07:44] <west_andy> is there a channel for ATI support with regards with dual monitors
[07:44] <almark1> would this be it ? title		64 Studio, kernel 2.6.29-1-multimedia-686 (recovery mode)
[07:44] <_stochastic_> almark1, nope that's a 64studio install, not an Ubuntu install
[07:45] <almark1> Its ubuntu, Im using ubuntu hardy with 64studio
[07:45] <_stochastic_> furthermore that's a beta 64studio instal
[07:45] <almark1> yeah I know :)
[07:45] <_stochastic_> ohh
[07:45] <almark1> works great, till this
[07:45] <almark1> I should have just left it alone, it was happy
[07:45] <_stochastic_> you should be asking around elsewhere
[07:46] <almark1> Ok, i'm off then thanks :)
[07:46] <_stochastic_> almark1, it may also be useful to know which packages you installed
[07:46] <almark1> I keep forgetting that I have a forum to go to.
[07:46] <_stochastic_> try pressing the up key in a terminal until you find that listing
[07:46] <almark1> Many, and they are in my bash_history too
[07:47] <_stochastic_> it'll help whoever ends up troubleshooting the issue
[07:47] <almark1> Yep
[07:47] <almark1> maybe they have an issue with this in the forums, well thanks again. C-ya
[07:48] <_stochastic_> almark1, you could also find some help on the ubuntuforums.org's multimedia production section, I know that some people there use 64studio, but betas are always dangerous
[07:49] <almark1> Yeah they are, but thats the fun in em, you know what your getting, and I have read many times that 64studio even the beta 3 Im using is very stable.
[07:49] <_stochastic_> almark1, just so you know too (and I know you want to leave now) the 64studio kernel naming scheme lists the RT kernels with 'multimedia' as the identifier
[07:49] <almark1> Ah, I thought so
[07:49] <almark1> I don't have to leave, I'll stay
[07:50] <airtonix> nomnomnom
[07:53] <almark1> I'm still here ya know ;)
[07:54] <Guest53308> hi all, any help with this error " error: missing terminating " character"; I'm using gcc-4.2
[07:55] <fakeer> I have installed Jaunty Beta .. Suggest a nice and stable Download Manager with resume download support.. in vista I was using FDM ...
[07:57] <suma1> what is the difference between ubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu 8.10?
[07:58] <magnetron> suma1→ they are different versions of ubuntu. one is 6 months older
[07:59] <suma1> ubuntu 8.04 has any drawbacks compare to 8.10
[07:59] <Mjateznik> Hi all.
[07:59] <magnetron> suma1→ it's older
[07:59] <suma1> ok....
[08:00] <Mjateznik> I got a problem with my keyboard/flash. I can't press <left> and <up> at the same time, though I can press <right> & <up> at the same time.
[08:00] <mrsteveman1> suma1: 8.04 is stuck on kernel 2.6.24 and will be for quite a while
[08:00] <mrsteveman1> i don't think they backport hardware support
[08:00] <pronto> 0~
[08:00] <mrsteveman1> so whatever it supports right now out of the box is it, other than add-on drivers in the repos
[08:00] <doleyb> suma1: it's older and less stuff works, plus ubuntu 9.x is out this month, and its better
[08:01] <mrsteveman1> unless you have critical infrastructure or client machines running ubuntu theres little reason to stick with an LTS in most cases
[08:01] <Titan8990> doleyb, less stuff works?
[08:03] <doleyb> Titan8990: yes, many things don't work in older versions.  even in 8.10 there are some pretty bad hardware incompats.
[08:03] <doleyb> Titan8990: since its now been a Long time since 8.x release, it's getting bad.
[08:04] <Titan8990> doleyb, linux has always been best for older hardware
[08:04] <Titan8990> doleyb, and LTS releases follow ideas of other more stable distros such as debian such as patching instead of updating
[08:04] <Titan8990> doleyb, its because more stuff works
[08:05] <Titan8990> doleyb, "not bleeding edge" is what you are saying
[08:06] <doleyb> Titan8990: No, I'm saying that standard baseline hardware won't minimally function.
[08:06] <magnetron> doleyb→ there's 5 months since the last ubuntu release, 8.10. there will be a new version every six months, right on schedule.
[08:06] <doleyb> magnetron: Yeah, that's what I just said.
[08:06] <Titan8990> doleyb, standard baseline?
[08:07] <doleyb> Titan8990: Do you know how often someone comes in here asking why his atheros isn't working?
[08:07] <Titan8990> doleyb, its not like the release of the 2.26.25 kernel magically made all hardware work
[08:07] <Martyr2k6> ugh, well I have my ubuntu customized the way I like it, but now I just want to get my vista working right
[08:08] <jean-luc> hello, you know how i must do to try and an URL in shell ?
[08:08] <Titan8990> doleyb, because they are new to linux
[08:08] <excess21> i'm still pretty new to linux
[08:08] <Mocs> Greetings all... having some problems getting DNS to work on new install of 8.4 server... tried the forums, anyone care to lend a hand?
[08:08] <Martyr2k6> as am I, hence why I wish to dual boot
[08:08] <magnetron> jean-luc→ you can use "wget" to download an URL in the shell
[08:08] <takao> hi, my new hardy install is using a restricted driver called "atheros hardware access layer(hAL)" but i dont have an atheros card, can i safely disable this?
[08:09] <doleyb> jean-luc: wget or links (or lynx) or firefox or...
[08:09] <magnetron> takao→ well, what card you have then?
[08:09] <jean-luc> thank but no, i want to know where is rmtp://<IP_ADDRESS>
[08:09] <takao> magnetron, tp link
[08:10] <Mocs> Anyone able to help with a DNS issue?
[08:10] <jean-luc> where is going rmtp://<IP_ADDRESS>/oflaDemo/streams
[08:10] <magnetron> takao→ if ubuntu is *using* an atheros driver, only possibility is that there is an atheros hardware somewhere in the system. best is to let things be
[08:10] <magnetron> !anyone | Mocs
[08:11] <takao> magnetron, ok
[08:11] <grawity> Mocs: Just tell us the actual problem and someone might answer.
[08:11] <Mocs> ubottu: I did when I came in... no answer... I have no DNS, using DHCP... tried the forums... still no DNS
[08:11] <Mocs> sheesh... I'm talking to a bot...
[08:11] <Martyr2k6> allright peeps, so I have two hdd's in this box... I installed vista on one and ubuntu on the other, since I did this, I can no longer boot into vista, and I have no choice when I power on my comp to boot either into vista or ubuntu... HALP
[08:12] <doleyb> Mocs: You didn't ask a question.  All you said is "It doesn't work, can I ask?"
[08:12] <doleyb> Mocs: You'd want to explain in what manner it fails to work.
[08:12] <crossbytes> i thought this was user friendly .. u should not be so harsh on newbs..
[08:12] <Mocs> doleyb: oh, sorry... can anyone help me figure out why DNS isn't resolving?
[08:12] <Mocs> doleyb: I can access by IP, no resolution on names
[08:13] <doleyb> Mocs: What is the nature of your internet supplier?
[08:13] <Guest96188> hello can someone tell me about a guide for newbies please and when will be the 904 verssiom
[08:13] <Mocs> doleyb: cable modem, comcast, but I tried to switch to opendns and it still isn't resolving
[08:13] <sarmisak> Guest96188: it's on the website, about 17 days later
[08:14] <doleyb> Mocs: how did you switch?
[08:14] <Martyr2k6> no help?
[08:14] <Guest96188> sarmisak i have 810 how can i update to the 904
[08:14] <doleyb> Martyr2k6: so it does ubuntu every time?
[08:14] <Mocs> doleyb: followed the forums, changed /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[08:14] <icenine> Martyr2k6: http://www.google.com/search?q=dual%20boot%20linux
[08:15] <Mocs> prepend the DNS for opendns
[08:15] <Martyr2k6> dol, yep
[08:15] <doleyb> Mocs: after you get your internet running, check if /etc/resolv.conf looks good
[08:15] <sarmisak> Guest96188: pop a terminal window, type this; sudo update-manager -d
[08:16] <Mocs> doleyb: net is running fine, can ping by ip
[08:16] <Mocs> one sec
[08:16] <sarmisak> Guest96188: you should see an option to upgrade
[08:16] <Martyr2k6> someone in here told me it would work fine if I formatted both hard drives, installed vista first on one, and then ubuntu afterwards on the other
[08:16] <Kartagis> why does my xorg.conf get re-written everytime I reboot/restart X?
[08:16] <Guest96188> sarmisak ill try thanks
[08:16] <Guest96188> sarmisak command not found
[08:17] <doleyb> Martyr2k6: Maybe reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto will help you
[08:17] <Mocs> doleyb: nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf was set to the router, so I tried changing that to the first ip of opendns... that didn't work either
[08:17] <ariqs> what's the best debugger for linux?
[08:18] <Guest96188> ikonia hello how can i update to the 904
[08:18] <DigitalKiwi> a skilled programmer
[08:18] <Mocs> digital: beat me to it... though I would have said a big hammer
[08:18] <Martyr2k6> nope, no help there
[08:18] <glitchd> does anyone happen to use arch linux?
[08:19] <takao> glitchd, i'd imagine the peopel on #arch do
[08:19] <glitchd> mmk thx
[08:19] <takao> #archlinux maybe...
[08:19] <doleyb> Mocs: Normally the router supplied by comcast would perform dhcp server.
[08:20] <doleyb> ariqs: gdb is good.  also valgrind
[08:20] <Martyr2k6> grrr
[08:21] <ariqs> thanks
[08:21] <Mocs> doleyb: it is... for windows... for ubuntu I am getting no joy... dhcp is giving me a good ip, just no DNS
[08:21] <roccity_> Mocs, have you tried forcing in the opendns servers?
[08:22] <doleyb> Mocs: Ok, so you know your router (<IP_ADDRESS>) is functional as a nameserver, so the problem is your ubuntu isn't using it properly.
[08:22] <Mocs> roccity: if I understand the forums, I modded /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to prepend them, no joy
[08:22] <Mocs> doleyb: ayup... taht is about the size of it
[08:23] <takao> hi- i need to install wireless drivers with ndiswrapper but there are tons of files on the windwos cd -which ones am i supposed to instal?
[08:23] <doleyb> Mocs: if it can't get fixed here, maybe #networking will aid you.
[08:24] <roccity_> Mocs, have you tried dhclient?
[08:24] <glitchd> takao, the were really no help
[08:24] <roccity_> Mocs, whats in your /etc/resolv.conf?
[08:25] <glitchd> takao, would this be a good place to try n find some help?
 right now, /etc/resolv.conf looks like this
 search hsd1.fl.concast.net.
 #nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
 nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:25] <FloodBot1> Mocs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:25] <takao> glitchd, whats the  problem? lots of arch users on 4chan's /g/ but they are not so helpful...
[08:26] <mib_n0obmex8> Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[08:26] <Mocs> hi mib
[08:26] <roccity_> Mocs, can you ping ip addresses and not host name?
[08:26] <Mocs> roc: exactly
[08:26] <glitchd> well i had arch setup with gdm on my computer then i got a bunch of new computer stuff like no motherboard nd a whole host of other things
[08:26] <mib_n0obmex8> i wanna ask some thing
[08:27] <glitchd> takao, now that i switched everything over i cant get it to start up
[08:27] <roccity_> moc what happens when you use your router gateway?
[08:27] <takao> glitchd, what errors do you get?
[08:27] <roccity_> Mocs, for the nameserver
[08:27] <Mocs> roc: for the nameserver?  Nothing... no resolution, still ping by IP
[08:28] <glitchd> takao, ill get the exactly wording in a sec
[08:29] <glitchd> takao, failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x5)
[08:29] <glitchd> takao,  then
[08:29] <takao> glitchd, did you google it? does arch has some sort of recovery mode you can access?
[08:29] <glitchd> takao,  its suppose to but it doesnt want to start up
[08:29] <tv7497> guys how do i check if my system has a built in blue tooth device  ?????
[08:30] <takao> glitchd, is grub the bootloader?
[08:30] <roccity_> Mocs, in your resolv.conf file put in your router ip address then as root type "dhclient and what erver your interface"
[08:30] <glitchd> takao, yes
[08:30] <takao> glitchd, is there a recovery option in grub?
[08:30] <glitchd> takao, ive even tried booting from a live cd nd nothing will work
[08:30] <glitchd> takao,  yes there is
[08:31] <glitchd> takao, should i try the recovery again?
[08:31] <takao> glitchd, the recovery doesnt boot?
[08:32] <takao> glitchd, what do you mean you tried livecd and it didnt work? the live cd doesnt boot?
[08:32] <glitchd> takao, im goainnna restart it again nd try to login to the recovery ag
[08:32] <glitchd> takao, it jus wouldnt boot
[08:32] <glick> howdy
[08:32] <takao> glitchd, 1st make sure your hardware is connected properly
[08:33] <glitchd> takao, it jus went to a terminal type screen
[08:33] <glitchd> takao, yes it all is
[08:33] <takao> glitchd, you have knoppix ,what live cd you use?
[08:33] <glitchd> takao, knoppix?
[08:34] <takao> glitchd, knoppix = famous live cd...
[08:34] <glitchd> takao, i have a new kubuntu cd
[08:34] <Mocs> ok, modded dhclient back to the router, restarting network
[08:34] <glitchd> takao, i dont have any other ones
[08:34] <glick> ugh...not kubuntu
[08:34] <takao> glitchd, what VGA card?
[08:34] <glick> kubuntu is aweful
[08:35] <Mocs> er... modded resolv.conf, it is getting late... :(
[08:35] <glitchd> jus the standard one
[08:36] <ikonia> Guest96188: can I help you ?
[08:36] <glitchd> takao, its not a removable card
[08:36] <takao> glitchd, standard?
[08:36] <glitchd> takao, so i guess that would make it some sort of stabdard type one
[08:36] <takao> glitchd, you said you got new hardware, if nothing boots on your system after the new hardware i would suspect its not set propely
[08:37] <glitchd> takao, i do think ur right
[08:37] <glitchd> takao, i dont know enough i think to properly explain this to u
[08:38] <takao> glitchd, apart from arch,, you have anything else there? windows?
[08:38] <glick> i cant wait til jaunty
[08:38] <glitchd> takao, no there is nothin else
[08:38] <glick> loooking forwad to jaunty
[08:38] <glick> i officially give up on kubuntu/kde for good
[08:38] <glitchd> takao, like i said it a computer built from all new parts
[08:39] <takao> glitchd, try another live cd- knoppix is good, you can also try bartPE (windows based), if nothing boots you have a hardware situation
[08:40] <Mocs> thanks all... roc got me going
[08:40] <Mocs> yeah roc!
[08:40] <glitchd> takao, ok well ill do  what i can to get another cd
[08:40] <mr_boo> is there a way i can see the name of the ethernet adapter driver in ubuntu?
[08:40] <takao> takao, if there is no hardware problem then i try arch recovery mode, go into terminal and reconfigure X
[08:40] <glitchd> thx for the attempted help
[08:40] <roccity_> thats ok glad to help
[08:40] <gera> hello, I'm in need of some help with ubuntu updates
[08:41] <mr_boo> gera: what's the issue?
[08:41] <glitchd> takao, so if i go into terminal how would i go about reconfiguring X?
[08:41] <gera> I ran the updates from the balloon, then it got stuck at the acpi-support
[08:41] <Mocs> gera: THAT I can help with...
[08:41] <glitchd> takao, is it simple?
[08:41] <glitchd> takao, or is that what u needed the live cd for?
[08:41] <gera> so I restarted the system, and now I'm running from the desktop cd beacause I can;'t get in
[08:42] <takao> glitchd, in ubuntu it is...i know nothing about arch, if you can boot into recovery mode you dont need alive CD
[08:42] <mr_boo> gera: try disable apic in bios
[08:42] <TheShahFactor> I am running some installation script & I get some errors ..I dont think the script should contain them.Are some scripts OS specific? Like what runs for Red hat doesnt work for ubuntu
[08:42] <glitchd> ok i guess ill jus try nd figure this out then
[08:42] <gera> the new kernel gives me a panica error
[08:42] <mr_boo> gera: i know
[08:43] <mr_boo> gera: disable apic in bios
[08:43] <glitchd> takao, thx again for all the help
[08:43] <mr_boo> gera: is that can't be done you should add the string "-noapic" in the boot menu
[08:43] <takao> glitched if #arch is not helpful, you might want to try /g/ on 4chan, they have many arch users there ,but the degree of helpfulness varies
[08:43] <gera> well I'll try that, but if it doesn't work I'llbe bothering again in a copule hours
[08:44] <unimatrix9> where could i find the dell min 9 repo's with sightspeak video chat package? for ubuntu
[08:45] <mr_boo> is there a way i can see the name of my ethernet adapter that is installed in my system?
[08:45] <jamieleshaw> Hello, how do i change hard disk permission?
[08:45] <thecommutist> mr_boo: use this command - lspci | grep ethernet
[08:46] <mr_boo> thecommutist: it's an onboard ethernet adapter
[08:46] <mr_boo> thecommutist: prolly pci though
[08:47] <thecommutist> jamieleshaw: right click > properties > permissions
[08:47] <jamieleshaw> It says i need to be oot.
[08:47] <jamieleshaw> root
[08:48] <mr_boo> thecommutist: in fact, nothing was listed
[08:49] <cosoal> ?
[08:49] <thecommutist> jamieleshaw: run nautilus with root privileges - gksu nautilus
[08:49] <mr_boo> thecommutist: but i got a IEEE 1394 firewire adapter listed
[08:49] <thecommutist> mr_boo: try - lspci | grep Ethernet (note the capital E)
[08:50] <cosoal> are you american?
[08:50] <mr_boo> thecommutist: what a fool i am, many thanks
[08:50] <thecommutist> mr_boo: it's ok! i make the same mistake all the time! :-)
[08:51] <emoXodus> hi can i get assistance using ndiswrapper plz!!!!!!
[08:51] <linch> anyone could explain to newbee in simple terms why there is no rules listed in iptables but my ssh is listenning to port 22 for a connection?
[08:52] <thecommutist> emoXodus: i'll try!
[08:52] <cosoal> try?
[08:52] <cosoal> what?
[08:52] <emoXodus> is anyone here?
[08:52] <linch> here i ma
[08:53] <thecommutist> emoXodus: shoot! i'll try to help!
[08:53] <emoXodus> i guess not
[08:53] <cosoal> shoot?
[08:54] <jamieleshaw> thecommutist: My Other question is how do i login as root?
[08:54] <quibbler> jamieleshaw-> you don't use sudo
[08:54] <thecommutist> jamieleshaw: r u running gnome or kde?
[08:54] <lstarnes> jamieleshaw: you shouldn't in most cases
[08:54] <linch> jamie, create a root account
[08:55] <linch> that's the best way to log in as a root
[08:55] <jamieleshaw> thecommutist: gnome
[08:55] <linch> no sudo after that
[08:55] <quibbler> linch-> no that is extremely unsafe
[08:55] <linch> quibbler, no it's not
[08:55] <quibbler> !root
[08:55] <jamieleshaw> I'm well awear it's unsafe.
[08:56] <lstarnes> linch: it is
[08:56] <thecommutist> then u can go to Administration > Login Window > Remote tab > Allow local system administrator login, but i guess u'll have to create a root account before that
[08:56] <linch> are you taking about logging in from the net?
