[12:02] <Slart> ucordes: check the man page for sudo.. I think there's a way to specify a password
[12:02] <stefg> ucordes: the rc.local section is what you want to read
[12:03] <kitche> theflyingfool: any cd burning app canbe used to make an iso just choose image recorder instead of your cd burner
[12:03] <Slart> ucordes: oh.. you meant boot.. not when you login... sorry
[12:03] <ucordes> Slart: yea
[12:03] <doofy2> what do i need to have in /etc/fstab when i mount an ext3 partition in order to have write permissions?
[12:03] <_Sean> I am following this, but I can't "In the Software Preferences dialog that comes up, click the Add button." because there is no dialog that comes up
[12:03] <kitche> yep us.archive repo is slow probably due to bandwidth issues
[12:03] <kjaer> doofy2, rw under options, is default.
[12:03] <Slart> doofy2: nothing special.. as far as I know...use default
[12:03] <pluto> gml
[12:04] <doofy2> kjaer, hmm doesnt seem to be working. Let me try restarting
[12:04] <kitche> doofy2: you need to use umask if you want normal users to have write access
[12:04] <Slart> _Sean: where is that from? url?
[12:04] <kjaer> doofy2, Just remount
[12:04] <ninnghizidha> how is the blacklist-file for kernel-modules called?
[12:04] <_Sean> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[12:04] <Slart> ninnghizidha: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[12:04] <doofy2> kjaer, sudo mount -a ?
[12:04] <ninnghizidha> danke! :))
[12:04] <doofy2> kitche, what do you mean?
[12:04] <kjaer> mount /dev/hd? -o remount
[12:05] <ucordes> stefg: section of which document?
[12:05] <kjaer> Can you write to the disk as root ?
[12:05] <stefg> ucordes: you know bash? cat /etc/init.d/rc.local
[12:05] <theflyingfool> does anyone know the windows cmd to fix a master boot record
[12:06] <doofy2> kjaer, yes
[12:06] <mojojojo__> I've got a question... Does Ubunt somehow support automatically downloading source code and compiling package to optimize for particular computer? (like Gentoo does)
[12:06] <kjaer> theflyingfool, fixmbr
[12:06] <squeee> I just pushed my fn+wireless button, and my bluetooth and wifi shut off... then I pushed it again and only the bluetooth turned back on and wifi wont come back up
[12:06] <theflyingfool> thanks
[12:06] <kjaer> mojojojo__, No
[12:06] <kitche> doofy2: umask if used correctly will let a standard user write to the filesystem
[12:06] <Slart> _Sean: ah.. it's Software sources.. then select first pane there.... check proprietary drivers...
[12:06] <squeee> it still reads my card in dmesg though
[12:06] <mojojojo__> toob bad
[12:06] <mojojojo__> too bad
[12:06] <kjaer> mojojojo__, Not a goal atm.
[12:06] <ucordes> stefg: i heard of this, yes ;)
[12:06] <mag_> please help me with samba "ACL's"
[12:07] <doofy2> kitche, umask in fstab?
[12:07] <Slart> _Sean: you can check the other repos too.. univers, multiverse
[12:07] <kjaer> doofy2, Is it a transportable disk ?
[12:07] <stefg> mag_: read the hwto and /j #samba
[12:07] <_Sean> Kay, think you Slart
[12:07] <_Sean> thank*
[12:07] <doofy2> kjaer, nope its not. Its /dev/hdb
[12:07] <Slart> _Sean: you're welcome.
[12:07] <hatt_> server irc.igloos.ca
[12:07] <mag_> stefg: do you know someting about ACL's ?
[12:08] <_Sean> also, when trying to copy files from windows into linux (for firefox bookmarks) how do i deal with "Documents And Settings"?
[12:08] <kitche> !permission|doofy2: you want the second link and the volume part to understand about umask
[12:08] <ubotu> doofy2: you want the second link and the volume part to understand about umask: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[12:08] <_Sean> %20 doesnt seem to work
[12:08] <stefg> mag_: not enough to troubleshoot a problem
[12:08] <Dial_tone> quote it
[12:08] <soujiro> when i search for openSSH i only find "encryption keys"
[12:08] <jinx099> anyone have an audigy2?
[12:08] <Slart> mag_: if it's a very very easy question I might be able to help you.. I've setup my own samba server.. but it was a year or so ago.. problem with linux. you don't reinstall reconfigure it all the time so you forget things =)
[12:08] <Dial_tone> 'Documents And Settings'
[12:08] <naut> !strings
[12:08] <_Sean> ah, okay
[12:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about strings - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:09] <Dial_tone> or do \
[12:09] <doofy2> kitche, thank you
[12:09] <naut> What do I need to install to get the strings utility on dapper?
[12:09] <_Sean> so instead of /Documents and Settings/  its \Documents and Settings/ ?
[12:09] <kitche> doofy2: I don't use umask myself so I can't explain it as well as that wiki page does
[12:09] <ucordes> stefg: where do i have to put my script in that file now?
[12:09] <doofy2> kitche, i got it, just added umask=0222 to fstab
[12:09] <Slart> mag_: or.. you're not using the usual smb.conf file? that's what I did
[12:10] <mag_> Slart:  I try to do a fileserver with samba but is very complicated my tree of folders ... do would you like to see my tree
[12:10] <kjaer> doofy2, You really should use chown and chmod to set up the permissions.
[12:10] <mag_> Slart: no no no no now I have samba and it work's fine but the problem is the privilegies of some users
[12:10] <Dial_tone> beagled is pretty darn good
[12:10] <doofy2> kjaer, ever for volumes?
[12:10] <mag_> Slart: in #samba they said me that I need a ACl's
[12:10] <kitche> kjaer: no you shouldn't since neither of those have nothing to do with a volume
[12:11] <_Sean> Last question, with gaim, is there someway to edit my aim profile?
[12:11] <mag_> Slart: look ! http://patch.timesofcoffee.com/data/files/tree.xls this is my tree of folders an users !
[12:11] <Slart> mag_: hmm, I only setup a simple one dir for one user..is it a complicated setup?
[12:11] <kitche> kjaer: it's also safer to use umask just in case you mess up with chown and chmod
[12:11] <theBishop> is it possible to do debbootstrap from a ramdrive on a liveCD?
[12:11] <doofy2> is there a way to force umount?
[12:11] <mag_> Slart: is complicated when you have more users and more folders !
[12:11] <kjaer> kitche, So it is safer to give everyone permission to read and write ?
[12:12] <kitche> kjaer: umask only gives that user permission to
[12:12] <Slart> mag_: my oh my... I think I got a headache by just looking at that... =)
[12:12] <Slart> mag_: yes.. acl's would be they way to go..
[12:12] <mag_> can somebody help me with ACL's ?
[12:12] <kitche> kjaer: umask=UID for the user you want to have read write permission
[12:12] <Slart> mag_: the #samba people weren't able to help you?
[12:12] <kupesoft> What's a good, rugged laptop that has complete (or near complete) ubuntu support?
[12:12] <mag_> Slart: do you know someting about ?
[12:13] <stefg> ucordes: http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.de.html (already in your language :-) )
[12:13] <Slart> mag_: nope.. never used them.. just know they exist
[12:13] <tuxub> what can I do if my nautilus window stops responding on remote ssh folders? this happens sometimes and my only solution is to logoff and on again, which is very uncomfortable. is there a way to avoid this?
[12:13] <ucordes> stefg: thanks a lot
[12:13] <mag_> Slart: no... the problem is that all those never answer just two users and those users doesn't know !
[12:14] <kjaer> kitche, He should probably use uid or gid instead then.
[12:14] <mag_> Slart: do you know a irc channel about ACL's ?
[12:14] <Slart> mag_: hehe... the big problem with irc channels.. the times you really need help they are empty =).. .
[12:14] <selah> kupesoft: System76 is supposed to be one.
[12:14] <mag_> Slart: yes I knoe ! lol :P
[12:14] <Slart> mag_: no.. I would have tried the #samba channel too.. but surely there must be some tutorials on the big internet?
[12:15] <mag_> Slart: surely !
[12:15] <squeee> I'm having wireless issues... I pushed FN+F2 for the wireless toggle button.  Bluetooth came back up, but wireless didn't.  The only thing I've noticed is in dmesg when i push fn+f2 i get "atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x88 on isa0060/serio0)."  Anyone have any ideas
[12:15] <naut> How come ubuntu doesn't have the unix strings utility?
[12:15] <naut> I thought it was one of the standard gnu tools
[12:15] <mag_> Slart: I'll go to that channel but I will come back !
[12:15] <juano> mag_: what kind of samba issue?
[12:15] <Slart> mag_: good luck

[12:15] <soujiro> if i want a webserver with PHP. what do i search for in add remove prog ?
[12:16] <kitche> kjaer: I m just going by what ubuntu standard is which is to use umask instead

[12:19] <pb69> question: I put a DVD into the drive (commercial DVD) and the dvd player tells me it cannot play it because it has an encryption on it (it plays fine under windows) what library am I missing to get Mplayer to work ?
[12:19] <doofy2> stefg, i've read that... I put /dev/hdb1      /media/Storage2     ext3    rw,user,auto,exec    0      0    and it still doesn't work
[12:19] <kjaer> naut, binutils installed ?
[12:19] <naut> kjaer, I'll check that
[12:19] <stefg> doofy2: forget all that crap and jusdt use a simple 'defaults' in the options column

[12:19] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[12:20] <kjaer> pb69, mplayer is not good at dvd, (no menues) And you need libdvdcss
[12:20] <doofy2> stefg, tried that, it doesnt give normal users write permissions
[12:20] <stefg> doofy2: the thing is that you have to give the right permissions to the *folder* you want to write to
[12:20] <pb69> thanks kjaer is that apt-get possible ? or I need to find/install it ?
[12:20] <doofy2> stefg oh chmod /media/Storage2?
[12:20] <stefg> :-)
[12:20] <naut> kjaer, a static linked version but not the regular one
[12:20] <Borzen> Any one know why ubuntu partition manager wont resize my partition?
[12:21] <naut> not sure what the difference might be
[12:21] <kjaer> pb69, aptitude search libdvdcss
[12:21] <ucordes> stefg: will the defaults work for me? i just want to launch the script before xsession login
[12:21] <naut> kjaer, that was it
[12:21] <naut> thanks :)
[12:21] <pb69> kjaer thanks you very much, which dvd player would you suggest to use then if mplayer aint that good ?
[12:21] <kjaer> naut, Great then :-)
[12:21] <Mike__> kjaer is fglrx the right driver/
[12:21] <Borzen> Can i get some help here?
[12:21] <stefg> ucordes: errmm, you said you want to run it at boot time...
[12:21] <h3xis> Borzen, with what
[12:21] <kjaer> pb69, Doesn't mather much, I use gxine and mplayer
[12:22] <h3xis> Borzen, er
[12:22] <Borzen> My HDD wont change the partition
[12:22] <Slart> Borzen: are you using gparted?
[12:22] <kjaer> The movie plays alright, but sublines is a pity.
[12:22] <h3xis> Borzen, why not? what are you doing?
[12:22] <Borzen> I use the one ubuntu has on eggy
[12:22] <ucordes> stefg: yep so it is enabled when i am ready to use the system.
[12:22] <pb69> kjaer Ill get it and give it a try...
[12:22] <kjaer> Mike__, It probably is, have you tried the opensource one for r300 ?
[12:23] <Borzen> I am manualy doing it so i can just use about 6 GB for mail, web and word
[12:23] <ucordes> stefg: the script is to enable my wireless so the modules and stuff have to load for it first
[12:23] <stefg> ucordes: the system might bot without X... init S... are you sure about what you want to do?
[12:23] <selah> You can't resize mounted partitions can you?
[12:23] <kjaer> pb69, Good luck, take a look at automatix also. I think it got it too.

[12:24] <pb69> lol on automoatix, I had read that before... Ill stick to the aptitude apps, nice to not have to recompile everythgin all the time
[12:24] <kjaer> :-)
[12:24] <ucordes> stefg: i would add the script to my gnome session startup but i allready want to have wireless lan before i login
[12:24] <Mike__> kjaer how would I do that/
[12:24] <_Sean> are regular amd 64 (3700+ in this case) considered k8>
[12:24] <Eldox> hey
[12:25] <pb69> arent 3700 considered i686 ?
[12:25] <Slart> _Sean: I think they are k8
[12:25] <Music_Shuffle> K8.
[12:25] <ucordes> generic
[12:25] <stefg> ucordes: wlan is of course a boot-time setting, X or not... see the link i gave you how to make rc.local call your script
[12:25] <Eldox> anyone knows how i convert a .bin file into the rigth one for ubuntu 6.10? :) i would be greateful
[12:25] <_Sean> it is generic?
[12:25] <kitche> pb69: they are actually considered i886 actually but it stopped at i686 :P
[12:25] <Music_Shuffle> Yeah
[12:25] <kjaer> Mike__, change fglrx to radeon in xorg.conf, the graphical desktop might blow away, if that makes you insecure, don't do it.
[12:26] <h3xis> Eldox, what app is it?
[12:26] <RememberPOL> So... if I shut down my laptop while the AC charging cable is plugged in, it hangs on halt (no matter if APCI is disabled)... But if I shut down _without_ the AC charging cable plugged in, it completely shuts down just fine. Any ideas why this might be so?
[12:26] <malt> is mysql-server the newest mysql in ubuntu package manager?
[12:26] <Eldox> the new google earth :)
[12:26] <htaccess> whats the name of the default screensaver in ubuntu?

[12:27] <foxpaul> hi all. does anyone know if it's possible to bind alt + f1 to open the gnome sled menu, rather than the standard menu?
[12:27] <kjaer> Mike__, You could just change it back to fglrx
[12:27] <Mike__> lol
[12:27] <Mike__> I know
[12:28] <kjaer> But since you won't have a tty (terminal) you might need a live cd.
[12:28] <stefg> ucordes: http://debiananwenderhandbuch.de/init.html
[12:28] <kjaer> Its pretty simple.
[12:28] <foxpaul> i've taken the original menu bar off of my panel and put the suse main-menu applet on there, but alt+f1 brings up the classic style menu, which isn't what i want
[12:29] <pebblestone> Hi, I have a question. I need to rebuild apache2 because Virtualmin needs suexec builded with homedir=/home. I downloaded apache 2.2.4 and used "./configure --with-suexec-docroot=/home && make && make install". but the problem is, after I restart apache2, it's still the old version. What's wrong with my process?
[12:29] <Dial_tone> make sure you're restarting the NEW one
[12:29] <kjaer> pebblestone, use the --prefix option to ./configure and install into /opt
[12:29] <kjaer> Easier to maintain.
[12:30] <kjaer> lotacus, Probably in ~/
[12:30] <kitche> pebblestone: probably because the apache script runs the old one still
[12:30] <mnoir> pebblestone: and use checkinstall to make easier to manage
[12:30] <pebblestone> i see. I'll try to install the new one into /opt
[12:30] <lotacus> hm
[12:30] <lotacus> let me check
[12:31] <kjaer> If it even writes such a log.
[12:31] <Tenric> howdy
[12:31] <lotacus> cuz i'm having problems with beryl not displaying any graphics and such

[12:31] <lotacus> compiz.. yea, I was gonna forget beryl and try compiz
[12:31] <mnoir> lotacus: what all that means is there is a whole channel just for xgl issues!
[12:31] <malt> Also does anyone know the command in linux to create user accounts in ssh?
[12:31] <kjaer> lotacus, Try manually starting emerald , the window manager
[12:32] <kjaer> malt, useradd and adduser
[12:32] <kitche> huh emerald is not a window manager beryl is the window manager
[12:32] <kjaer> If you say so.
[12:32] <kjaer> Try manually starting both then..
[12:32] <kjaer> Then emerald is the window decorator
[12:32] <lotacus> well I know there are channels dedicated for it but .. with no disrespect. neither channel seems to be active or offer much help really other than this chan
[12:33] <hendrickvp> would any one know why the php5-imagick package wouldn't be found in install?

[12:34] <pl_ice> quick question, anyone uses like a usb or sd card to get Bluetooth? i'm going to buy one in a sec, just to make sure it works with ubuntu...
[12:35] <Tenric> liberon: I'm talking about a program, not a distro
[12:35] <kjaer> pl_ice, I have a broadcom, works flawlessly
[12:35] <liberion> tengil, what issue are u having with jamd?
[12:35] <Tenric> kjaer: lucky bastard
[12:35] <kjaer> Eroick, Skype was never free.
[12:35] <Chamuco> anyone has any ideas on how to setup a ati dual head video card?
[12:35] <kjaer> Tenric, I think most common bluetooth dongles work.
[12:36] <Tenric> liberion: trying to configure it to run in GPM; not working.
[12:36] <hendrickvp> kjaer: well the drupal install I'm doing needs imagick......
[12:36] <linux_user400354> does ubuntu have hamachi in the any universe or multiverse repositories or any good well known software similar to it?
[12:36] <pb69> pl_ice make sure you get the bluetooth modules/libs with aptitute and should be fine
[12:36] <Eroick> kjaer: it was free in North America
[12:36] <hendrickvp> kjaer: I thought I had done it before, but this time it doesn't want to find it.....
[12:36] <pl_ice> kjaer is it usb? can u tell me the model pls?
[12:36] <Tenric> kjaer: Oh, no, I have a Broadcom wireless card, not bluetooth
[12:36] <Eroick> Is there any VOIP for linux that has free out? Windows has iCall
[12:37] <liberion> Tenric, how long have uve been using jamd?
[12:37] <knight>   im running out o diskspace in root what can i do?
[12:37] <mnoir> linux_user400354: you need to learn how to look yourself, using synaptic, for instance
[12:37] <linux_user400354> mnoir: i dont have synaptic rude man
[12:37] <kjaer> Eroick, Not free software. It is still free to use.
[12:37] <Tenric> liberion: just installed it a few minutes ago
[12:37] <czedlitz> Azureus is open and each one of the torrents say they are downloading, but nothing is happening, Tracker Status jsut saying OK.... what can i do to get these going?
[12:37] <kitche> czedlitz: get more peers
[12:37] <knight> im running out of diskspace in root dir what can i do?
[12:37] <kjaer> pl_ice, It is a small device, takes a min :)
[12:38] <pl_ice> ok, thnx guyz going shoppin' for b.tooth :) c ya
[12:38] <pb69> by pl_ice
[12:38] <pl_ice> bye
[12:38] <Slart> knight: boot from the live cd, use gparted to resize and move partitions around to get more space
[12:38] <mnoir> linux_user400354: then you need to learn how to use whatever tool you use to install to answer your question
[12:38] <linux_user400354> mnoir: im considering switching back to ubuntu
[12:38] <Agrajag> knight: what is taking up so much space?
[12:38] <czedlitz> kitche, some say 0(145) Seeds, 0 (128) peers, what's that mean ?
[12:38] <pb69> knight stop using root for files ? slap another drive ? repartition ?
[12:38] <linux_user400354> mnoir: and its fine for me to ask questions, and if you dont want to help, dont reply
[12:38] <kitche> czedlitz: you have peers but you aren't connected to any of them
[12:38] <Eroick> kjaer: But I dont think that outgoing calls are free anymore.
[12:38] <knight> ive installed many things on my system
[12:38] <mnoir> !packages | linux_user400354
[12:38] <ubotu> linux_user400354: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[12:39] <czedlitz> kitche, ok i gathered that from the little red face... what can I do to get this fixed?
[12:39] <kjaer> To other skype users, yes it is. (I know Janus Friis, the author.)
[12:39] <knight> Agrajag: its just only 5 % free now
[12:39] <stefg> !bum > ucordes
[12:39] <kjaer> Not to normal phones.
[12:39] <czedlitz> kitche, was working about 3 days ago and now i jsut turned the comp back on and they aren't working....
[12:39] <kitche> czedlitz: nothing unless you are behind a firewall then open it up for those ports
[12:39] <linux_user400354> mnoir: does that website include the multiverse, universe and backports or only official ubuntu packages?
[12:40] <mnoir> linux_user400354: go there and see and then tell us!
[12:40] <czedlitz> kitche, Open, NAT OK is at the bottom, and i havn't changed anything since the other day, machine has a static IP and port is open on the router
[12:40] <Vuen> hey guys, how do i input special characters in linux? like in windows i'd go alt+130, what's the equivalent of that for linux?
[12:40] <knight> Agrajag: whats the normal space requirement of root dir ?'
[12:40] <kjaer> Tenric, Seems my dongle is from Belkin. :-/
[12:40] <kitche> czedlitz: maybe all of those peers have their connections full already it happens
[12:40] <asdf_> can anyone tell me what version of ffmpeg is in the edgy repos?
[12:40] <Tenric> kjaer: huh.
[12:40] <L0cKd0wN> is there a way to ssh into a box that is JUST running the livecd ?
[12:41] <Slart> Vuen: in gnome I have some nifty little things in my right click menu.. special input methods.. haven't tried them yet... but I'd start looking there
[12:41] <malt> 2.6.17-10-generic (SMP)
[12:41] <Slart> !ffmpeg
[12:41] <ubotu> ffmpeg: multimedia player, server and encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 175 kB, installed size 612 kB
[12:41] <kjaer> knight, You could remove the .deb files, which is cached.
[12:41] <linux_user400354> mnoir: why did i even bother to ask you? you wouldnt answer a simple yes or no question when you already know the answer.
[12:41] <knight> Slart: if i use gparted and add some gbs to my root will there be any problem?
[12:41] <malt> I installed version off of ubuntu site, and my version shows this Debian testing/unstable
[12:41] <knight> kjaer: thank u
[12:41] <Slart> knight: I wouldn't think so... but you never know.. backup any important stuff before trying
[12:41] <lupine_85> anyone know of an easy way to convert $random_format to .smv format videos in linux? the provided SigmaTel utility is giving me a hard time...
[12:42] <mnoir> linux_user400354: 1. i didn't know the answer.  2.   3. learn to give back to the community
[12:42] <kitche> malt: yes that is correct
[12:42] <malt> [kitche, thought the version was stable?
[12:42] <kjaer> knight, mine is 6gib btw.
[12:42] <malt> everyone told me it was
[12:42] <linux_user400354> mnoir: whatever, tell your mom that
[12:42] <kitche> malt: edgy is based on debian testing/unstable
[12:43] <knight> kjaer: ive just got only 4 gb
[12:43] <kjaer> knight, Hard to squeeze everything in there then :-)
[12:44] <knight> Slart: is there any other way i can prevent my files ?
[12:44] <Slart> knight: huh? preserve your files?

[12:45] <Chamuco> anyone has any ideas on how to setup a ati dual head video card?
[12:45] <Slart> knight: I don't think anything will disappear.. but I'm not going to promise you it wont... burn a CD or something with the stuff you can't live without or just live on the edge.. I've resized my partitions without loosing anything
[12:45] <phr34ck> is it possible to defragment like in windows ?
[12:46] <Slart> phr34ck: I don't think so.. but people say you don't have to
[12:46] <Slart> phr34ck: but people said that about ntfs too.. =)
[12:46] <phr34ck> Slart, I think it's a must.
[12:46] <knight> Slart: i mean repartitioning

[12:46] <JosefK> phr34ck: http://www.salmar.com/pipermail/wftl-lug/2002-March/000603.html
[12:46] <knight> Slart: is there any way to change /etc or any other folder to move around noher parition?
[12:47] <kjaer> knight, format a partition to the cause and set up the mount pount in fstab
[12:47] <Chamuco> I think you can use kdirstat to show you a map of your drive
[12:47] <czedlitz> kitche, shouldn't when you are seeding it be uploading also ?
[12:47] <knight> Slart:  so that  i can keep this settings
[12:47] <pebblestone> kjaer: it's not working. what's interesting is that I've already removed apache2.
[12:47] <_Sean> Newest one is Edgy right?
[12:47] <lupine_85> nobody? :/
[12:47] <kitche> czedlitz: maybe it depends
[12:47] <kitche> _Sean: yes
[12:47] <kjaer> Chamuco, It is called xinerama. Don't know much about it.
[12:47] <czedlitz> kitche, cause i have 0 going in and 0 going out, i mean everything is just sitting there
[12:47] <Xinux> I'm not able to SU in terminal...
[12:47] <Slart> knight: ah... yes.. I've done that once too.. I don't remember all the steps though
[12:47] <kjaer> pebblestone, Any errors ?
[12:47] <_Sean> Well after I did the last step, and restarted X I got a message about X not being able to load.
[12:47] <_Sean> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[12:47] <kjaer> Xinux, use sudo or sudo -s
[12:47] <mnoir> _Sean: newest lts= 6.06, newest general release=6.10, newest dev= feisty
[12:47] <kitche> czedlitz: it happens
[12:48] <adaptr> I'd use filelight instead of kdirstat.. it's way nicer :)
[12:48] <RememberPOL> kjaer: nothing changes in dmesg when I plug the cable in...
[12:48] <clayg> anyone know how hard it is to get compiz running on ubuntu?
[12:48] <knight> kjaer: is it what kjaer said?
[12:48] <Xinux> kjaer, thank you =)
[12:48] <Slart> knight: but it's possible..  read some tutorials about partitioning first.. there are some good advice out there..
[12:48] <pebblestone> kjaer: chown: changing ownership of `/var/lock/apache2': Operation not permitted
[12:48] <clayg> also what is a good streets+trips/gps/map program for ubuntu
[12:48] <_Sean> Luckily I remembered how to restore the xorg.conf
[12:48] <knight> Slart: is it what kjaersaid?
[12:48] <adaptr> clayg: dunno.. but Beryl is 10 minutes' work if your video card is supported :)
[12:48] <clayg> beryl?
[12:48] <JosefK> lupine_85: you could do "ffmpeg -formats" and see if the format you need is listed
[12:48] <ptley> phr34ck: you don't need to defragment a linux file system because linux file systems don't jam files right next to each other in the first place.
[12:48] <kjaer> pebblestone, How do you start it ?
[12:48] <clayg> adaptr, is that a diff distro
[12:48] <clayg> ?
[12:49] <adaptr> clayg: it's like compiz, but done right :)
[12:49] <mnoir> !beryl | clayg
[12:49] <ubotu> clayg: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[12:49] <RememberPOL> clayg: Beryl's a fork of Compiz.
[12:49] <Chamuco> other than the system>preferences>screen resolution is there another way to see the properties of your display?
[12:49] <phr34ck> ptley, okay.
[12:49] <pebblestone> kjaer: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[12:49] <clayg> i want it, lol
[12:49] <kjaer> And you installed into /opt ?
[12:49] <Slart> knight: yes.. that sounded like that.. copy stuff over, change the fstab.. reboot..
[12:49] <adaptr> clayg: set up a repo, install it, go wild :)
[12:49] <clayg> adaptr, is the link ubotu gave a good one or is there a better guikde
[12:49] <pebblestone> kjaer: sorry. I didn't type sudo .
[12:49] <RememberPOL> kjaer: Do you want my whole dmesg output?
[12:49] <clayg> damn i can do it through apt?
[12:49] <knight> kjaer: is there any manual related?
[12:49] <neguin> hello evrbdy!
[12:49] <clayg> that is even better
[12:49] <ptley> phr34ck: windows will save a file and then save the next file at the next possible spot on the drive.  if you then open that file and edit it and it is too big to fit where it used to, it fragments
[12:49] <kjaer> RememberPOL, Just the last few lines
[12:49] <pebblestone> kjaer: it's working now but still old version which is 2.0.55
[12:49] <adaptr> clayg: if your video card is up to it it'll *literally* blow your mind...
[12:50] <Slart> knight: but please.. find a tutorial first.. so you don't forget something and end up with a system that wont boot
[12:50] <kjaer> knight, to ? :-)
[12:50] <RememberPOL> kjaer: They don't seem related to AC cable..they're all about cdrom
[12:50] <kjaer> pebblestone, How did you start it ?
[12:50] <adaptr> clayg: there are better ones, and you also want a good svn repo for beryl - dunno if the official ones are up to 0.1.4 already
[12:50] <mnoir> pebblestone: that is cuz when you install an alternate release to /opt, the normal scripts do not work for you
[12:50] <lupine_85> JosefK: unfortunately, it seems to be a proprietary format :/ and ffmpeg doesn't support it
[12:50] <clayg> adaptr, i just got this hpdv6000t, has nvidia 256megger think it'll run it
[12:50] <pebblestone> kjaer: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[12:50] <RememberPOL> kjaer: http://rafb.net/p/ntlPuI45.html
[12:50] <knight> kjaer: fstab set mount point change /etc or other partition to another drive
[12:51] <pebblestone> mnoir: then what should I do?
[12:51] <adaptr> clayg: no gibberEnglish please, I have no clue what you mean
[12:51] <kjaer> knight, Sure, man mount; the cool command
[12:51] <knight> kjaer: on net?
[12:51] <mnoir> pebblestone: several possibilities:  alter the init.d scripts, install in the normal place, manual start/stop
[12:51] <knight> kjaer: any other reference?
[12:51] <kjaer> knight, http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mount.8.html
[12:52] <kjaer> It is pretty straightforward
[12:52] <mnoir> pebblestone: the location of configs could be an issue too
[12:52] <superm1> hi guys, i was just looking for some general advice about VLC deinterlacers - which one is a all around good one to choose for most video/dvd playback
[12:52] <kjaer> pebblestone, Browse you /opt directory
[12:52] <mnoir> pebblestone: i like ny second alternative best...
[12:52] <knight> Slart: can u help me with the tutorial where can i find it?
[12:52] <mnoir> ny=my
[12:52] <JosefK> I could never get a decent deinterlacer working in VLC superm1, the best I found was 'tvtime', which is (imo) a pain to setup outide of Amarok
[12:52] <Slart> knight: I'll take a look.. see what I can find
[12:52] <kjaer> pebblestone, You've got some new init scripts
[12:53] <JosefK> s/amarok/kaffeine/
[12:53] <kjaer> RememberPOL, I have no idea then, tried forcing load of acpi modules ?
[12:53] <superm1> JosefK, unfortunately VLC is the only player I can get that is error free for everything else
[12:53] <superm1> everything else using xine-lib has a horrible spdif bug
[12:53] <superm1> :(
[12:53] <mnoir> pebblestone: with waht kjaer  says, my first option is better
[12:53] <_Sean> where can i view my system log? i forget
[12:53] <mnoir> _Sean: /var/log
[12:53] <clayg> adaptr, is 256 megabytes of video ram enough
[12:53] <kjaer> _Sean, /var/log and dmesg
[12:53] <_Sean> ty
[12:53] <kjaer> clayg, For what ?
[12:53] <clayg> beryl
[12:53] <JosefK> superm1: ack :/ discard then, but it depended on what I was watching (ie. anime looked cack with any deinterlacing)
[12:54] <kjaer> clayg, More than plenty
[12:54] <stefg> !info sysvrc-config
[12:54] <superm1> JosefK, okay thanks a bunch for the advice
[12:54] <Slart> knight: here's one http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[12:54] <_Sean> which do i look at?
[12:54] <ubotu> Package sysvrc-config does not exist in any distro I know
[12:54] <_Sean> i need to find a file i changed
[12:54] <stefg> !info sysv-rc-config
[12:54] <pebblestone> mnoir: Ok, I'll look into init.d script.
[12:54] <mnoir> _Sean: for what?
[12:54] <ubotu> Package sysv-rc-config does not exist in any distro I know
[12:54] <RememberPOL> kjaer: Yeah, appended acpi=force to my grub boot command and it's the same problem
[12:54] <pebblestone> kjaer: I got 4 dirs in /opt
[12:54] <ferrouswheel> hi all. can't run synaptic or adept please help. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1117/
[12:54] <knight> Slart: anything other?
[12:54] <clayg> kjaer, i put the repo in my sources.lst but im getting errors, any idea what im doing wrong?
[12:54] <Slart> knight: here's more reading http://ftp.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/warty/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/en/apa.html
[12:54] <clayg> it wont let me grab the package
[12:54] <Salvar> Hello. Testing...
[12:54] <mnoir> pebblestone: init.d is a dir and you will need to do a little more than replace the script there
[12:54] <_Sean> mnoir: i need to find a file i changed
[12:54] <kjaer> clayg, Try pasting the errors
[12:55] <clayg> k
[12:55] <mnoir> _Sean: start with messages
[12:55] <kjaer> RememberPOL, Still, figure out which module it loads when it works and modprobe does modules.
[12:55] <kjaer> lsmod will show loaded modules
[12:55] <mnoir> _Sean: do an ls -latr in that dir to see what logs have changed most recently
[12:55] <kjaer> pebblestone, /opt/apache or similar ?
[12:55] <knight> Slart: ya
[12:55] <clayg> http://pastebin.ca/312528
[12:55] <pebblestone> mnoir: do you mean that I need to change some script besides apache2?
[12:55] <mnoir> _Sean: remember not everything is logged
[12:56] <ferrouswheel> i can't run synaptic because it is looking for libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.3.11 but ubuntu upgraded to libapt-pkg-libc6.4-6.so.3.51 - can anyone help me?
[12:56] <pebblestone> kjaer: /opt/bin /opt/build /opt/include /opt/lib
[12:56] <kjaer> clayg, Try installing with aptitude install beryl
[12:56] <mnoir> pebblestone: no - i mean that the way the init scripts work, you may need to change some things in rcX.d directories
[12:56] <kjaer> mnoir, And no apache ?
[12:56] <clayg> kjaer, ok
[12:56] <RememberPOL> kjaer: I don't completely understand. Again, if I unplug my AC cable right before I shut down then it works fine, but if I try to shut down while it's plugged in then it hangs... When exactly am I supposed to check which modules are loaded?
[12:56] <_Sean> how can i log into root to save with gedit?
[12:56] <pebblestone> mnoir: i see.
[12:57] <mnoir> kjaer: huh/
[12:57] <knight> Slart: thank you for he help
[12:57] <Slart> knight: you're welcome. Hope it works out for you
[12:57] <mnoir> pebblestone: it aint hard but requires some care
[12:57] <kjaer> mnoir, sorry to pebblestone ..
[12:57] <bimberi> _Sean: sudo gedit ...
[12:57] <_Sean> through the file explorer?
[12:57] <mims> hi is there anyone who knows what a good program to install for editing photos and making slideshows with stilos and effect and backgraound music tracks?
[12:57] <Salvar> This is the Ubuntu support chat, right?
[12:57] <mnoir> pebblestone: otherwise apache will not behave the way you want
[12:57] <jughead> How do you upgrade the firmware or flash a bios with Ubuntu?  I'm looking a new components and some mention flashing the bios.  I never thought about how that might be done with linux
[12:57] <livingdaylight> is there an open-source chat application that runs in windows?
[12:58] <Slart> livingdaylight: chat=IRC? then xchat is one
[12:58] <bimberi> _Sean: hm, no, from the terminal
[12:58] <mnoir> pebblestone: the new init script should conform to standards for parameters
[12:58] <_Sean> aw :<
[12:58] <kjaer> RememberPOL, I am not sure about anything, but the shutdown sequence shouldn't have anything to do with the cablem unless its figure that this is a laptop since it is now running on battery and then loads the proper acpi modules.
[12:58] <bimberi> livingdaylight: xchat is available for windows
[12:58] <Salvar> Awfully crowded in here.
[12:58] <mnoir> Salvar: :)
[12:59] <mims> anyone a film junky who uses sbuntu?
[12:59] <RememberPOL> kjaer: It might be related to the cstep / intel speedstep features of my Pentium M processor
[12:59] <pebblestone> mnoir: i see.
[12:59] <Slart> livingdaylight: but there is one official version that isn't free any more... but there are also unofficial versions that are free.. not cracked or anything.. just free
[12:59] <L0cKd0wN> what's the root password for the livecd ?
[12:59] <pebblestone> kjaer: Did I do something wrong?
[12:59] <mnoir> pebblestone: if anything is unclear, ask!
[12:59] <Salvar> I'm trying to get into Linux, but the documentation isn't very beginner-friendly.
[12:59] <livingdaylight> Slart, sorry, i mean like gaim
[12:59] <pebblestone> mnoir: Ok
[12:59] <kitche> L0cKd0wN: there isn't one
[12:59] <kjaer> L0cKd0wN, use sudo
[12:59] <Slart> livingdaylight: miranda im is one alternative
[12:59] <RememberPOL> or sudo passwd
[12:59] <theflyingfool> has anyone tried to get windows live messanger working on ubuntu, i am switching a friend to ubuntu, and he doesnt seem to want to use gaim
[12:59] <Salvar> Right now I've got a mouse problem.
[12:59] <kjaer> pebblestone, Probably.
[12:59] <L0cKd0wN> i tried mounting an NTFS hdd
[12:59] <livingdaylight> bimberi, i meant like gaim or amsn
[12:59] <L0cKd0wN> using sudo
[12:59] <Slart> livingdaylight: I think gaim exists for windows too..
[12:59] <L0cKd0wN> and it won't give me access
[12:59] <livingdaylight> thx
[01:00] <RememberPOL> theflyingfool: Try winehq.org ?
[01:00] <L0cKd0wN> even tried
[01:00] <kjaer> theflyingfool, Then don't switch him.
[01:00] <L0cKd0wN>  etc /fstab
[01:00] <IntuitiveNipple> theflyingfool: Try him on aMSN
[01:00] <L0cKd0wN> didn't work either
[01:00] <bimberi> livingdaylight: gaim is available for windows too
[01:00] <livingdaylight> thx, bimberi
[01:00] <__pink_> hey can you help me with ACl's please ?

[01:00] <mnoir> :)
[01:01] <mims> anyone? I;m TOTALLY new to IRC and I'm wondereing where to go to find out about ubuntu/linux programs thet mimic iphoto?
[01:01] <kjaer> theflyingfool, He could use mercury and java6, mercury is only half bad and not opensource or anything. And java6 because it sucks less for desktop apps than java5.
[01:01] <L0cKd0wN> how do i mount my NTFS hdd so i can back it up? (using sudo)
[01:01] <Slart> mims: this would be a good place then =)
[01:01] <kjaer> mims, What can iPhoto do ?
[01:01] <L0cKd0wN> cuz i've even tried changing the owner of the folder, but then it says "Permission Denied"
[01:01] <kjaer> L0cKd0wN, Install ntfs-3g
[01:01] <L0cKd0wN> but im sudo....
[01:01] <knight> is there any problem if i delete contents in /var/cache/apt/arcieves?
[01:01] <theflyingfool> kae: i havnt hrd of mercury what is it
[01:02] <L0cKd0wN> does apt-get work on the livecd?
[01:02] <noobcook> morning
[01:02] <L0cKd0wN> kjaer,
[01:02] <mims> it can take stills put them in a slide show, add some effects to them, and put a soundtrack underneath
[01:02] <Kirok> L0cKd0wN: try sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
[01:02] <noobcook> yes
[01:02] <knight> is there any problem if i delete contents in /var/cache/apt/arcieves?
[01:02] <noobcook> it does
[01:02] <bimberi> ntfs-3g? only need that if writing to it
[01:02] <mnoir> pebblestone: just a warning - the #apache channel can be helpful but they hate the debian config, so be prepared for some razzing if you go there
[01:02] <livingdaylight> bimberi, i see that there are three packages of gaim for windows available
[01:02] <L0cKd0wN> i just need to get the data off
[01:02] <L0cKd0wN> ok one moment i'll try now
[01:02] <L0cKd0wN> :D
[01:02] <kjaer> mims, I really like f-spot, no sound thou.
[01:02] <noobcook> lockdown  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ that tells you how to get NTFS 3g
[01:02] <Kirok> L0cKd0wN: you'll need to create the folder and know the number of the HD
[01:02] <kyncani> knight: apt-get clean  will clean it
[01:02] <maxamillion> anyone know of a gui network config front end that is known to function with ndiswrapper?
[01:02] <Slart> Picasa isn't available for linux?
[01:02] <knight> kyncani: ok
[01:03] <kjaer> Slart, Not opensource or free software.
[01:03] <bimberi> livingdaylight: kk, I wouldn't know which one though (if that's where you're headed)
[01:03] <IntuitiveNipple> maxamillion: Network Manager worked for me on a notebook
[01:03] <_Sean> How do I set up my dual monitors?
[01:03] <livingdaylight> bimberi, gaim.exe; gaimedebug.exe; gaim.no.gtk.exe
[01:03] <mims> ok thanks, it's a place to start, is there a group in linux for filmmakers?
[01:03] <Slart> kjaer: oh.. well.. no.. that's right =)
[01:03] <Salvar> Are there different rooms in this channel, or is it just a big free-for-all?
[01:03] <maxamillion> IntuitiveNipple: i actually run Xubuntu ... i assume network manager to be a gnome application?
[01:03] <IntuitiveNipple> _Sean: which video adapter do you have?
[01:03] <livingdaylight> bimberi, yes, i was ^^
[01:03] <_Sean> nvidia 7800GT
[01:03] <IntuitiveNipple> maxamillion: possibly, yes.
[01:03] <mnoir> Salvar: one big chaos - dive in
[01:03] <livingdaylight> Slart, do you know which one to choose?
[01:03] <_Sean> twinview?
[01:03] <Salvar> Aww.
[01:03] <knight> knight: :-)
[01:03] <Naik0> Where is azuerus located?
[01:03] <maxamillion> IntuitiveNipple: well, i will give that a try then ... thank you
[01:04] <livingdaylight> Slart,  gaim.exe; gaimedebug.exe; gaim.no.gtk.exe
[01:04] <kjaer> _Sean, Install the driver and search for xinerama.
[01:04] <__pink_> do you know someting about ACL's ?
[01:04] <Slart> livingdaylight: when I used windows I used Miranda.. it worked nicely for me
[01:04] <Salvar> I feel like a stock market trader.
[01:04] <tobyr> yay i got edgy working
[01:04] <Slart> livingdaylight: try them =) I have no idea
[01:04] <kjaer> livingdaylight, Take gaim.exe
[01:04] <_Sean> I just installed the drivers, that was annoying x_x
[01:04] <Caca> Naik0: Universe.
[01:04] <livingdaylight> Slart, what does nogtc and debug mean?
[01:04] <Naik0> Caca: i ment on my harddrive

[01:04] <Salvar> Okay, see if anyone recognizes my problem. My scroll wheel suddenly controls back/forward, and my back/forward (thumb) buttons control scrolling.
[01:04] <knight> amy similiar circuit makin software in ubntu?
[01:04] <livingdaylight> kjaer, gaim.exe ok. Do you happen to know what the other two are?
[01:05] <knight> amy similiar circuit makin software in ubuntu?
[01:05] <kjaer> livingdaylight, debug is for debugging (developers) gtk is the toolkit used.
[01:05] <livingdaylight> kjaer, ok, thx
[01:05] <Salvar> I suspect it may have happened when I installed imwheel, but I followed the directions.
[01:05] <knight> amy similiar circuit makin software in ubuntu like orcad?
[01:05] <Slart> livingdaylight: debug is probably a version that logs things a bit more.. to find bugs in the program.. gtk is a framwork to make windows, buttons etc.. exists on windows and linux
[01:05] <Slart> !gtk
[01:05] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of Gnome and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[01:05] <noobcook> does anyone know if i run a program that connects to its own independant IRC server with a password, how i can get that password so i can connect on a normal irc program?
[01:05] <Caca> Naik0: All of the files associated to or just the executable?
[01:05] <kjaer> Where toolkit is the thing that puts things on the screen.
[01:05] <Naik0> executable
[01:05] <_Sean> I want twinview right?
[01:05] <Caca> Type in 'whereis azureus' in the terminal.
[01:06] <IntuitiveNipple> _Sean: probably, for nvidia
[01:06] <Caca> Would assumingly be in /usr/bin/azureus.
[01:06] <Salvar> Anyone?

[01:06] <livingdaylight> Slart, thx
[01:06] <Slart> livingdaylight: you're welcome
[01:06] <bimberi> livingdaylight: try the nogtk one.  That probably means that you don't need to install the gtk libraries for windows.
[01:07] <kjaer> willys_fueguino, su $user -c $command
[01:07] <theflyingfool> will rhythmbox sync with an ipod

[01:08] <BlueLaguna> On the console
[01:08] <BlueLaguna> What file do I edit
[01:08] <kjaer> willys_fueguino, Easy way is to alter the sudo conf file.
[01:08] <BlueLaguna> hyperb0lix: yes
[01:08] <hyperb0lix> BlueLaguna: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
[01:08] <Salvar> C'mon.
[01:08] <BlueLaguna> ah, yeah, that's the one, thanks
[01:08] <Salvar> Anyone want to help convert a Windows power-user?
[01:08] <willys_fueguino> kjaer: /etc/sudoers??
[01:08] <hyperb0lix> BlueLaguna: But if you have DHCP enabled, it'll overwrite the file
[01:08] <knight> whats that?
[01:09] <Slart> Salvar: there are button mappings in xorg.conf
[01:09] <revan> hi, is there a way to switch to 32bit color mode in ubuntu?
[01:09] <Salvar> Yeah, but they're just numbers.
[01:09] <Salvar> I don't know what they represent.
[01:09] <Slart> Salvar: I don't know if they will solve that problem.. but you can try switching them around..
[01:09] <kjaer> willys_fueguino, write visudo
[01:09] <kitche> revan: well 24 bit and 32 bit are the same actually
[01:09] <kyncani> knight: ubotu is an irc bot, a robot, it only do what we tell it to do
[01:09] <Slart> Salvar: I don't know what they represent either..  I just use the default buttons
[01:10] <willys_fueguino> kjaer: ??
[01:10] <Salvar> I have a big mouse.
[01:10] <gikidBot> DCC
[01:10] <Slart> Salvar: oh.. wait. .hold on
[01:10] <Salvar> I followed the directions here:
[01:10] <Salvar> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Mice
[01:10] <Salvar> To try to set it up.
[01:10] <Salvar> Including installing imwheel
[01:10] <kjaer> willys_fueguino, Use the visudo command, but you should probably just add the user to the admin group
[01:10] <noobcook> does anyone know the command to dump all outgoing connections on a certain port?
[01:10] <Salvar> But then the next day the mapping is off.
[01:10] <revan> kitche, I need it for WINE because one of the programs I'm trying to run gives me a message saying it needs 32bit color
[01:10] <tobyr> Hey guys
[01:10] <willys_fueguino> kjaer: I dont want the user x2 to write the user x1 (the 1 with su privilegies) password.
[01:10] <knight> kyncani: dats amazing
[01:10] <tobyr> I just installed Linux 6.10 Edgy...
[01:10] <tobyr> And did updates with apt-get
[01:10] <gikid> lol
[01:11] <Slart> Salvar:     Option         "Buttons" "7"
[01:11] <Slart>     Option         "Protocol" "auto"
[01:11] <Slart>     Option         "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
[01:11] <Slart>     Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
[01:11] <willys_fueguino> kjaer: can we go PV?
[01:11] <tobyr> Then I did: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[01:11] <kjaer> willys_fueguino, sure
[01:11] <Crescendo_> Why is nvidia-glx being removed with my most recent ubuntu update
[01:11] <tobyr> and sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:11] <Slart> Zaxismapping is the wheel.. try changing the numbers there
[01:11] <tobyr> Now my X start won't boot
[01:11] <knight> kyncani: can i get it to search something?
[01:11] <tobyr> X server even
[01:11] <Slart> Salvar: Zaxismapping is the wheel.. try changing the numbers there
[01:11] <tobyr> How do I get it to start?
[01:11] <tobyr> :(
[01:11] <kjaer> tobyr, aptitude will be more helpsome to resolve the dependencies.
[01:11] <tobyr> eh??
[01:11] <Salvar> Okay.
[01:11] <Salvar> What's the difference between sudo and gksudo?
[01:11] <kyncani> !thanks | knight
[01:11] <tobyr> I basically did all the steps shown here: http://lunapark6.com/?p=2501
[01:11] <ubotu> knight: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[01:11] <kjaer> aptitude install nvidia-glx
[01:12] <Crescendo_> Salvar, Gksudo opens in gnome
[01:12] <kyncani> !ubotu  > knight
[01:12] <Slart> Salvar: one gives you a graphical prompt.. a dialog box.. the other is console only
[01:12] <mnoir> !gksudo | salvar
[01:12] <ubotu> salvar: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using "sudo <GUI-application>"
[01:12] <knight> kyncani: how can i make it to search something?
[01:12] <Salvar> Hmm.
[01:12] <theflyingfool> whats the command to see if my direct rendering is enabled
[01:12] <noobcook> tobyr id like to know how u solve ur problem also
[01:12] <Salvar> I was wondering because they seemed to do the same thing.
[01:12] <noobcook> just incase wen i install my driver it doesn't work
[01:12] <tobyr> Has it happened to you too noob?
[01:12] <knight> !thanks | kyncani
[01:12] <ubotu> kyncani: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[01:12] <tobyr> I don't get any error messages
[01:12] <IntuitiveNipple> theflyingfool: glfxinfo
[01:13] <tobyr> Just a black screen
[01:13] <IntuitiveNipple> first 4 lines or os, i think
[01:13] <Slart> Salvar: yes, they do.. but one is console based.. the other gnome based
[01:13] <tobyr> ANd no HD activity
[01:13] <Slart> Salvar: or at least x based
[01:13] <kitche> theflyingfool: glxinfo|grep rendering
[01:13] <kyncani> !ubotu > knight  look at this
[01:13] <Salvar> Alright.
[01:13] <theflyingfool> thanks guys
[01:13] <noobcook> tobyr then it jumps to a console?
[01:13] <tobyr> no
[01:13] <riotkittie> surely there's some error message going on there. read the xorg log ;p
[01:13] <tobyr> it just stays black
[01:13] <Salvar> After I change xorg.conf, do I need to reboot, or just restart gnome?
[01:13] <IntuitiveNipple> theflyingfool: actually, make that "glxinfo"
[01:13] <Crescendo_> Why is sound bad quality when PCM volume is all the way up?  I have to turn it most of the way down to get good loud sound from my speakers
[01:13] <Salvar> Or whatever it is that Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does.
[01:13] <Slart> Salvar: just restart gnome
[01:13] <mnoir> Salvar: just gnome
[01:13] <noobcook> have u tried google?
[01:13] <kkerwin> Hi. Where can I find out about the current status of the ATI fglrx issue; and/or how to fix it?
[01:13] <tobyr> riotkittie where is the xorg log?
[01:13] <tobyr> Yeah I have noobcook
[01:14] <Slart> Salvar: yes.. ctrl+alt+backspace restarts gnome
[01:14] <Salvar> Okay, thanks.
[01:14] <hyperb0lix> Slart: Kills X
[01:14] <IntuitiveNipple> tobyr: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:14] <Salvar> I'll try messing around with it.
[01:14] <tobyr> thanks
[01:14] <tobyr> dont suppose i can read ext3 from windows?
[01:14] <tobyr> lol
[01:14] <kjaer> knight, The circuit software ?
[01:14] <Slart> hyperb0lix, Salvar oh.. yes.. kills X.. correct
[01:14] <tobyr> (dont want to come out of IRC lol
[01:14] <IntuitiveNipple> tobyr: Yes
[01:14] <kkerwin> tobyr: Yes. One sec ...
[01:14] <IntuitiveNipple> there's an ext4 driver
[01:14] <hyperb0lix> Slart: But you're right, it does end up restarting GNOME
[01:14] <kitche> tobyr: fs-driver.org for ext3 driver
[01:14] <Slart> hyperb0lix: so does a lot of things =)
[01:14] <tobyr> f**k me, really?!
[01:14] <Bruco16> tobyr: personally, i had the same non-splash boot, i removed "quiet" and "splash" from the default entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst so poeple could see the booting process is at least alive.
[01:14] <hyperb0lix> :P
[01:14] <knight> kjaer: yah
[01:15] <kkerwin> tobyr: Yeah. And write to it as well, I believe.
[01:15] <Salvar> Can anyone tell me what imwheel is, precisely?
[01:15] <mcquaid> hmm, there is a thread on ubuntuforums on playing the apple keynote.  someone says it successfully played for him using a stream he listed using vlc
[01:15] <mnoir> !language | tobyr
[01:15] <ubotu> tobyr: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:15] <mcquaid> but it failed for me
[01:15] <Crescendo_> Apparently, nvidia-glx is now stable?  It's being removed by my most recent update, how to prevent issues?
[01:15] <tobyr> Hey kitche that link you sent is for Ext2?
[01:15] <knight> kjaer: iv just installed geda but its missing something
[01:15] <mcquaid> anyone else care to try it?  I'm curious if it works for others

[01:19] <Caca> hyperb0lix: Yeah, but say I'm just using ob3 w/ GTK apps strictly and just one depends on Gconf. Will it be running in the background all the time ala a daemon or only be loaded when that one particular app is running?
[01:19] <Slart> mcquaid: didn't work here.. just printed loads of garbage in the console
[01:19] <mnoir> malt - you don't
[01:19] <livingdaylight> gaim is not working for me in windows at all :(
[01:19] <Slart> Salvar: nice
[01:19] <Kirok> L0cKd0wN: have you tried udo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 ofcourse that might not work if you can't create a folder
[01:19] <tobyr> god dammit
[01:19] <tobyr> I installed that EXT drive thing...
[01:19] <hyperb0lix> Caca: Not sure, but the gnome-settings-daemon might read from gconf - just a conjecture
[01:19] <Salvar> Now, does anyone know if I can get the scroll to be smooth?
[01:19] <L0cKd0wN> one sec
[01:19] <tobyr> And it just asked me if I want to format when I click on it
[01:19] <L0cKd0wN> trying
[01:19] <IntuitiveNipple> L0cKd0wN: Ubuntu comes with a read-only ntfs drive already, but ntfs-3g provides write/read functionality
[01:19] <Caca> mm, just might.
[01:19] <mcquaid> Slart, thx. same here.  but someone on the forums said it worked for him.  I guess I doubt he's using the edgy's version of vlc or ffmpeg
[01:19] <Salvar> It's going by lines, and it's really choppy to me.
[01:19] <Slart> livingdaylight: try miranda then
[01:19] <L0cKd0wN> IntuitiveNipple, it wouldn't let me into the folder
[01:19] <L0cKd0wN> it said i don't have access
[01:20] <L0cKd0wN> errr permission, excuse me
[01:20] <Slart> mcquaid: I'm on edgy, 64bit.. so I'm missing some codes
[01:20] <malt> mnoir: wow thats gay! i don't like giving accounts to sudo with same password.
[01:20] <hyperb0lix> Caca: If I recall correctly, it is always running
[01:20] <IntuitiveNipple> L0cKd0wN: it sounds like the file-system needs a CHKDSK running on it
[01:20] <livingdaylight> Slart, i am now ^^ But disappointed that gaim isn't working in xp for me
[01:20] <malt> so i can't make root pw diff?
[01:20] <mnoir> malt - that is the way sudo works
[01:20] <hyperb0lix> Caca: Something about being able to auto-apply settings for all apps when a single change occurs, therefore it must be in the background
[01:20] <kitche> malt: root and sudo is different
[01:21] <hyperb0lix> Caca: You can check Wikipedia - I'm sure gconf is there
[01:21] <Salvar> Smooth scrolling?
[01:21] <malt> kitche: sudo is basically root though
[01:21] <cafuego> malt: You can. or you can make sudo ask for the root password instead of the suer password. or you can login as root and not be asked for passwords ever.
[01:21] <mnoir> malt - it would serve no purpose for sudo to use other than your password
[01:21] <Slart> Salvar: no idea.. haven't missed it
[01:21] <mcquaid> Slart, on 32bit here.  I have the w32codecs, but afaik vlc doesn't even use those.
[01:21] <marlun> no one who can tell me what (package) I need to create a pdf from a latex file?
[01:21] <kjaer> malt, You can sudo passwd to get a root account, then remove your user from the admin group.
[01:21] <Mikey> how do i defrag?
[01:21] <livingdaylight> Slart, i have xp on my new laptop and i love loading all my favourite linux apps on it. First thing i installed was Firefox and the openoffice.org and Xchat :D
[01:21] <kjaer> marlun, You need tetex
[01:21] <Bruco16> malt: i changed root passwd via rescue
[01:21] <Slart> mcquaid: nope, I think vlc does it's own thing.. for good and bad
[01:21] <hyperb0lix> Mikey: No need, Linux doesn't become fragmented
[01:21] <Salvar> I dislike it.
[01:21] <lotacus> are there any flash plugins for ubunto and FF ?
[01:21] <Salvar> Almost as much as I miss StrokeIt.
[01:21] <cafuego> kjaer: Even if you do that, sudo will still ask for the user password, which would now fail.
[01:21] <_Sean> http://www.ublug.org/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-breezy.html  << Do I need to install anything for that?
[01:21] <Flannel> marlun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX
[01:21] <mcquaid> Slart, exactly, so I"m surprised someone on the ubuntu forums says that works for him
[01:21] <tobyr> oh
[01:22] <Bruco16> (and shadow mods)
[01:22] <tobyr> bollox
[01:22] <malt> cafuego: sounds good how would i do that?
[01:22] <matthe1> I need nvidia-glx to work in edgy i did had it working but the edgy distro upgraded and the xorg.conf driver "nvidia" wont work i'm using driver "nv"..........
[01:22] <lotacus> .. for x64
[01:22] <mcquaid> he must have an updated vlc installed or something
[01:22] <killown> linux has support ntfs write?
[01:22] <Kirok> L0cKd0wN: try this go to a terminal and first type cd /mnt then sudo mkdir windrive
[01:22] <kjaer> marlun, tetex-bin probably.
[01:22] <marlun> kjaer, Flannel, thanks!
[01:22] <Slart> livingdaylight: hehe.. gaim will probably be fixed shortly.. they are still working on it
[01:22] <kjaer> killown, yes.
[01:22] <cafuego> malt: 'man sudoers' - check the rootpw option.
[01:22] <tobyr> hey guys im gonna try and fix this myself
[01:22] <hyperb0lix> killown: Yes, ntfs-3g
[01:22] <LiquidNerd_> apt-index-watch <-- What is it?
[01:22] <tobyr> bit busy in here
[01:22] <mnoir> kjaer: that defeats one of the most important management goodnesses about ubuntu
[01:22] <tobyr> cant focus on the lines
[01:22] <tobyr> LOL
[01:22] <Slart> killown: I think so.. with the ntfs-3g package
[01:22] <IntuitiveNipple> lotacus: Yes, Flash 9 beta is available in the multiverse or universe repositories. I forget which. It works well, too
[01:22] <cafuego> malt: note: MAKE SURE A ROOTPASS IS SET FIRST!
[01:22] <kjaer> mnoir, Yes
[01:22] <franx> matthe1: did you try "automatix2" ?
[01:22] <Salvar> Okay, I have another question.
[01:22] <mnoir> !automatix
[01:22] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[01:22] <Kirok> L0cKd0wN: then Run the Ubuntu Disks Manager. From the system menu bar, choose System | Administration | Disks. In the Disks Manager, find the Hard Disk icon that represents your Windows drive. It is usually /dev/hda. You may see other Hard Disks that you dont recognize, these are virtual devices created by the LiveCD.
[01:22] <_Sean> http://www.ublug.org/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-breezy.html  << Do I need to install anything for that?
[01:22] <Salvar> How do I keep certain partitions from being automounted at startup?
[01:22] <matthe1> franx; no..
[01:22] <franx> hi there does anyone use a tv as a monitor? if so how to?
[01:23] <lotacus> ah ok. i d/l the package but I dont know where to copy the .so file to
[01:23] <Caca> Don't even see an instance of it at the moment at any user level in htop.
[01:23] <kjaer> Salvar, add noauto to the options in fstab
[01:23] <Slart> Salvar: check the fstab.. it's one of the options there
[01:23] <lotacus> I thought maybe there would be a .deb package to make it easier
[01:23] <livingdaylight> Slart, hehe.. shoult i remove GTK+ aswell?
[01:23] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> How do you update system libraries ?
[01:23] <cafuego> malt: Alternatively, you'd be used to it after 2 days, so you could just keep workign and not worry about it.
[01:23] <matthe1> franx should i?
[01:23] <Salvar> Okay, where's fstab?
[01:23] <killown> hybrid, But its  can not crash my partition ntfs?
[01:23] <Mikey> what do i do if my "add/remove" application has crashed?
[01:23] <kjaer> Salvar, /etc/fstab
[01:23] <Slart> livingdaylight: not unless you need the space..who knows you might install something that needs it
[01:23] <Flannel> !flash9 | lotacus, there is.
[01:23] <ubotu> lotacus, there is.: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[01:23] <revan> mcquaid: where do I find the w32codecs?
[01:23] <lotacus> !backports
[01:23] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[01:23] <Slart> livingdaylight: gaim version current+1 =)
[01:24] <revan> or are you not talking about 32bit color?
[01:24] <franx> matthe1: mnoir seems to think it sux, but it installed my nvidia drivers perfectly
[01:24] <franx> so im not sure
[01:24] <livingdaylight> Slart,  and miranda doesn't need it?
[01:24] <loller> DCC SEND AOWITNAO)WTINAWTOINOWT#INAOWTINAOW#TINAOW#TINTAOINWT
[01:24] <stefg> franx: tv as monitor doesn't work... 525 lines (pal) isn't just enough to be able to read a 8pt Font
[01:24] <franx> im still ubuntu newb
[01:24] <Slart> livingdaylight: I don't think so.. miranda is a windows only application

[01:24] <mcquaid> revan, the repository containing them is down for now, but i just a few posts on this the other day on the forum
[01:24] <mnoir> !worksforme | franx
[01:24] <ubotu> franx: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[01:24] <kyncani> asdfjkahsdfjkha: when updating ubuntu, you get security updates for everything, including libraries
[01:24] <Slart> peer is angry?
[01:24] <Bruco16> lol
[01:24] <Caca> Peer is furious.
[01:24] <_Sean> netsplit?
[01:24] <livingdaylight> Slart, how come i've never heard of miranda before?
[01:24] <Salvar> Where would noauto go?
[01:25] <kitche> !exploit
[01:25] <ubotu> There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[01:25] <Slart> livingdaylight: been living under a rock? ;)
[01:25] <bimberi> _Sean: no, exploit
[01:25] <Salvar> Where would noauto go?
[01:25] <mcquaid> revan, just search the forum and you'll find a link to the deb and just manually install the deb.  sudo dpkg -i w32blah.deb

[01:25] <revan> alright, thankyou mcquaid

[01:26] <kjaer> Salvar, Are you following along ?
[01:26] <Caca> Tenri1: None of this equip happens to have a 33/66 turbo button on it, eh?
[01:26] <kingace> ubuntu should have the option to install the same way opensuse does
[01:26] <livingdaylight> Flannel, ahh..is that what it is
[01:26] <Salvar> So, separated by a comma from the other options?
[01:26] <Tenri1> he's moving out of his apartment and selling his stuff for rediculusly low prices

Any thoughts?
[01:26] <ferrouswheel> Caca: man, they should still have turbo buttons. they're retro

[01:27] <_Sean> lol, I mean the other question

[01:27] <_Sean> that

[01:27] <livingdaylight> Flannel, oh, really? its common that there are opensource applications developed for windows ony?
[01:27] <Caca> Tenri1: Back in the day, computers had 'turbo' buttons to throttle between full and half speed. Some apps would run unnaturally fast at full speed so you'd have to throttle downward.
[01:27] <Seveas> cafuego, ?
[01:27] <livingdaylight> Slart, which miranda download? too much choice
[01:27] <cafuego> Seveas: scroll back a bit, loller<EMAIL_ADDRESS>would like a ban.

[01:29] <_Sean> facugaich, just drag it over to the right
[01:29] <Mikey> it crashed

[01:32] <kingace> anyway
[01:32] <Caca> Speaking of gaming, anyone else notice that the Alky project resurfaced out of nowhere with a working conversion of the Prey demo?
[01:32] <IntuitiveNipple> oh gogs, its back
[01:32] <andycr> yeah, to an extent
[01:32] <kingace> try xfce over top of regular ubuntu
[01:32] <andycr> but anyway, itll mainly be for 3d development
[01:32] <andycr> ah, for speed?
[01:32] <kingace> its a much faster desktop
[01:32] <andycr> yeah
[01:32] <kingace> yeah
[01:32] <kingace> but u can boot into gdm if you want
[01:32] <andycr> i sometimes use it in fedora for that reason
[01:33] <Tenri1> IntuitiveNipple: Or not...
[01:33] <andycr> nice and responsive
[01:33] <IntuitiveNipple> lol
[01:33] <IntuitiveNipple> i'm going to bed!

[01:33] <Tenri1> IntuitiveNipple: night.
[01:33] <Jeruvy> slop: you use windows.
[01:33] <kingace> andycr: install regular ubuntu and then run sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[01:33] <andycr> ah
[01:33] <andycr> ty
[01:33] <Tenri1> IntuitiveNipple: quick update on my idea I told you about
[01:33] <kingace> and you can boot into both
[01:33] <andycr> and if i want kde, kubuntu-desktop?
[01:33] <IntuitiveNipple> oh yes?
[01:33] <Caca> Well.

[01:34] <andycr> how would i install ndiswrapper on a system that doesn't have internet? would it be best to find a .deb package for it or to install kernel sources then compile it myself?
[01:34] <Caca> If you just want the DE itself it's gnome-core, kde-core, or xfce4.
[01:34] <Tenri1> IntuitiveNipple: to see how much it might cost to develop
[01:34] <andycr> ah ty

[01:34] <IntuitiveNipple> Tenri1: that sounds like a good move. make sure you're covering youself with IP (patents, etc) and get an NDA before you go
[01:35] <mnoir> andycr: find the deb and sneaker-net it
[01:35] <Scooter7> IntuitiveNipple: I can't get to my linux files, as I've never managed to boot into Ubuntu nor install it.
[01:35] <Tenri1> IntuitiveNipple: Of course.
[01:35] <andycr> unreal 2004, all the id games i know of, ut203, ut99...
[01:35] <andycr> the deb of which? ndis?
[01:35] <Slart> phr34ck: freeciv, freecraft.. all ID's games.. Enemy Territory, Tremulous.. and plenty more
[01:35] <facugaich> phr34ck: Synaptic -> Games?
[01:35] <andycr> and how do i make sure its the right one for my kernel? uname -r and match it?
[01:35] <Slart> phr34ck: then there's wine/Cedega
[01:35] <IntuitiveNipple> Scooter7: can't you get to a command prompt, or boot from the LiveCD and then read the log files from there?
[01:35] <andycr> yeah wine rocks, i play css and hl2 fine
[01:35] <andycr> very small framerate hit
[01:35] <Slart> phr34ck: that's enables you to crash games in linux.. just like in windows =)
[01:35] <phr34ck> Slart, do you know a small good game to download?
[01:35] <andycr> maybe 10-20%
[01:35] <kitche> !freecraft
[01:35] <ubotu> freecraft: Realtime fantasy strategy game for Unix and X. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.18-2.2 (edgy), package size 664 kB, installed size 1684 kB
[01:36] <Tenri1> Got to go. Later amigos.
[01:36] <Slart> phr34ck: what kind of game? Astro Menace is kind of smallish and niceish
[01:36] <knight> !info xcircuit
[01:36] <ubotu> xcircuit: Draw circuit schematics or almost anything. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.6.24-1 (edgy), package size 491 kB, installed size 1908 kB
[01:36] <IntuitiveNipple> me too, bye
[01:36] <mnoir> andycr: use the http://packages.ubuntu.com/ site to ensure youre getting the right one
[01:36] <phr34ck> It doesn't matter, I need a time killer game.
[01:36] <phr34ck> Even chess is good; p
[01:36] <Scooter7> IntuitiveNipple: That's my prob, I can't boot from the CD because of my X server error
[01:36] <andycr> ah ty! i can finally nuke slowdora
[01:36] <Kirok> phr34ck: try ATC :) - Console Based AirTraffic control
[01:36] <jackson3246> is there any way to mount my hard drive in qemu?
[01:36] <franx> !nvidia
[01:36] <andycr> also
[01:36] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:37] <IntuitiveNipple> Scooter7: you should be able to boot to a cmd prompt without X.
[01:37] <andycr> does top give accurate memory usage info?
[01:37] <Slart> phr34ck: http://gaming.gwos.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=219&Itemid=1
[01:37] <dumbintel> hey guys, I have 6.10 and I wanted to know if there was a program to help me connect to wireless networks like the windows one or atleast something the lets me choose amongst broadcasted ssids
[01:37] <andycr> because according to it, fedora uses 512mb on bootup
[01:37] <Scooter7> IntuitiveNipple: Right, but I'm not sure how to access the files... I'm a total newb to that sort of thing >_<
[01:37] <riotkittie> dumbintel: try network-manager-gnome
[01:37] <andycr> dumbintel: google opensuse 10.2 network management, should get you the name of it
[01:37] <andycr> there you go, thats it
[01:37] <riotkittie> ;)
[01:38] <Salvar> Does anyone know how to customize cursors?
[01:38] <Slart> phr34ck: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Native_Games there 's  a whole list.. categorized and all
[01:38] <Salvar> I have my own that aren't in the form of a theme--they're in .cur and .ani files.
[01:38] <andycr> Salvar: download a theme, put it in ~/.icons, and choose it in mouse properties
[01:38] <stefg> !games
[01:38] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[01:38] <dumbintel> i installed it but i don't see it anywhere
[01:38] <andycr> oh, i dont know how to make them no
[01:38] <Slart> Salvar: I think there's a little customization in preferences, mouse.. but only size and shadow  I think
[01:38] <Salvar> Yeah, I'm talking about from cursor files.
[01:38] <knight> !circuit
[01:38] <phr34ck> I just downloaded 3dchess ... where does it go?
[01:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about circuit - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:38] <Salvar> Not whole themes.
[01:39] <phr34ck> sudo apt-get install 3dchess
[01:39] <riotkittie> installed what - nmg ?
[01:39] <andycr> you can make bitmapped cursors, but theyre in x format, dont know how to make them, but there are some on gnome/kde-look
[01:39] <tobyr> Hey guys
[01:39] <andycr> *they are in a format x takes
[01:39] <tobyr> I managed to copy my xorg config/logs to windows
[01:39] <jackson3246> is there any way to mount my hard drive in qemu?
[01:39] <tobyr> Is there a pastebin I can use to put them up?
[01:39] <riotkittie> !pastebin
[01:39] <stefg> tobyr: /TOPIC
[01:39] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:39] <andycr> http://rafb.net/paste/
[01:39] <andycr> nm
[01:39] <Kirok> jackson3246: you can do it with an image see if http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qemu is of any help
[01:39] <andycr> lol
[01:39] <tobyr> pj
[01:40] <tobyr> oh, doh
[01:40] <dumbintel> how can i run the network manager from terminal?
[01:40] <knight> !upgrade
[01:40] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:40] <jackson3246> kirok: thanks
[01:40] <Slart> jackson3246: or you can add a directory.. there are tutorials for this.. I don't remember the specifics
[01:41] <jackson3246> wait what did someone just tell me?
[01:41] <jackson3246> about adding folders?
[01:41] <riotkittie> nm-applet
[01:41] <Flannel> jackson3246: adding folders? mkdir?
[01:41] <Slart> jackson3246: or you can add a directory.. there are tutorials for this.. I don't remember the specifics
[01:41] <Flannel> oh, qemu
[01:41] <Slart> but you can add a directory from linux as a drive in qemu
[01:41] <jackson3246> lol
[01:41] <jackson3246> yeeeah
[01:41] <tobyr> Hey guys
[01:41] <jackson3246> all right I'll look that up then, Slart
[01:41] <tobyr> I used apt-get to update nvidia drivers
[01:41] <jamesb2147> i need to know how to get connected using a dwl-g122 usb adapter from dlink in ubuntu.  i THINK it uses the marvell libertas chipset
[01:41] <tobyr> Now X wo't start
[01:41] <tobyr> This is my log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1124/
[01:41] <jackson3246> I'm guessing it's not as easy as doing -hda or -cdrom
[01:42] <tobyr> Anyone got any ideas?
[01:42] <Scooter7> So, could someone tell me how to access the X Server log through the terminal?
[01:42] <kcinna> hey all
[01:42] <knight> how to get ubuntu edgy cds?
[01:42] <kitche> Scooter7: nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:42] <Slart> Scooter7: less /var/log/xorg.log or something like that?
[01:42] <kcinna> i went through the wiki and still can't get NAT to work with azureus used the iptables command for ubuntu and everything
[01:43] <clearzen> So earlier I broke my ubuntu system by accidentallychanging the permissions of all my files to 0777. Anyway I have root access again but whenever I try to bring up a interface as root it tells me SIOCSIFFLAG : permission denied. Any ideas why?
[01:43] <Scooter7> alright, thanks everyone ;)
[01:43] <Slart> Scooter7: something like that = add the ".0" =)
[01:43] <riotkittie> Scooter7: more /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:43] <tobyr> I dont see any errors in that log file?
[01:43] <tobyr> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1125/
[01:43] <Scooter7> k
[01:43] <riotkittie> oh im slow.
[01:43] <tobyr> This is my xorg.conf
[01:43] <mnoir> riotkittie: less is better, most is best
[01:43] <stefg> tobyr: your log is healthy
[01:43] <tobyr> X isn't booting though
[01:43] <tobyr> Just a black screen
[01:44] <Slart> tobyr: was that the latest log file?
[01:44] <jamesb2147> anybody know about wireless adapter support?
[01:44] <Slart> tobyr: I don't see any errors either
[01:44] <tobyr> Yep should be
[01:44] <juano_> tobyr: sec ill check it
[01:44] <tobyr> I went through the xorg config tool again, that must be that xorg.conf
[01:44] <LookTj> how many of you complianed about nvidia and x.org today?
[01:44] <tobyr> sweet I can get into my ext3 partition from windows now as well :D
[01:45] <stefg> tobyr: have you managed to configure your X to 1162x563 in 17 colours at 142 Hz refresh, so your monitor is deciding not to sync?
[01:45] <jamesb2147> wireless...?  anyone...?
[01:45] <Scooter7> LookTj: a lot of people :P
[01:45] <juano_> tobyr: X wont boot at all?
[01:45] <tobyr> Nope just a black screen
[01:45] <tobyr> I get the ubuntu logo with the orange progbar
[01:46] <tobyr> then blacness
[01:46] <stefg> tobyr: whats youzr display?
[01:46] <LookTj> it's very easy to fix
[01:46] <kitche> LookTj: the only problem I run into with nvidia is that it can't load the nvidia driver
[01:46] <tobyr> 1024x760 toshiba panel
[01:46] <clearzen> jamesb2147: what type of card do you have?
[01:46] <tobyr> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1126/
[01:46] <tobyr> This is my xorg.conf before I ran the config tool
[01:46] <jamesb2147> dwl-g122 rev. d2.  i believe it is a marvell libertas chipset
[01:47] <LookTj> does this link help newbs at all
[01:47] <LookTj> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1993792&postcount=8
[01:47] <juano_> tobyr: i got one more line than you under Driver "nvidia", which is                BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
[01:47] <juano_> tobyr: BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
[01:47] <tobyr> Oh and if this helps I followed ALL steps from here: http://lunapark6.com/?p=2501
[01:47] <tobyr> Hmmm, I'm running a laptop, would that matter?
[01:48] <livingdaylight> Slart, Miranda is a nice littel application actually?
[01:48] <livingdaylight> Slart, actually!!!
[01:48] <Slart> livingdaylight: of course =)
[01:48] <Kirok> tobyr: I don't think so I have a laptop with an Nvidia card and has the PCI line
[01:48] <Slart> livingdaylight: I only recommend nice little applications =)
[01:48] <stefg> tobyr: i'm just guessing, but it could be a DPMS related problem. the monitor/panel isn't reporting backmits correct abilities, so X gets confused and the monitor is receiving a signal it can not handle and turns black because of that
[01:48] <tobyr> hmmm, I'n not sure, there's no hard drive activity and I can't force out of X back to bash
[01:48] <clearzen> jamesb2147: I think you will need to use ndiswrapper for that card
[01:49] <tobyr> I'm really new to this malarky
[01:49] <Slart> livingdaylight: it's modular too so you can install another message reading module if you want more or less functionality.. and lots of other things
[01:49] <mnoir> tobyr: do you have your other virtual terminals?
[01:49] <archangelpetro> has anyone tried getting second life to work with amd64 ubuntu?
[01:49] <juano_> tobyr: you could try adding the PCI line
[01:49] <kitche> LookTj: that's only if you use that package repo
[01:49] <tobyr> can I add it from windows?
[01:49] <david_> hmm guys
[01:49] <livingdaylight> Slart, another message reading module?
[01:49] <david_> im having some problems
[01:50] <juano_> tobyr: if you can open xorg.conf, you could try it
[01:50] <clearzen> jamesb2147: You will have to install fakeroot to get it to work too
[01:50] <clearzen> sudo apt-get install debhelper build-essential fakeroot linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[01:50] <tobyr> I have the ext3 drivers, just dont want to screw the whole file up with windows formatting
[01:50] <noobcook> for some reason i cant access my NTFS partition
[01:50] <noobcook> any ideas?
[01:50] <tobyr> So I add BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
[01:50] <tobyr> Those squares are just tabs right
[01:50] <Kirok> noobcook: have you tried to mount it etc
[01:50] <Slart> livingdaylight: yes.. the module that's responsible for showing the chat window to you.. you can download other ones.. they give you other options for history.. some have other layouts etc etc...
[01:50] <noobcook> kirok i think i mounted it
[01:50] <kitche> tobyr: you sure that's your busid for your card?
[01:50] <stefg> !fuse | noobcook
[01:50] <juano_> tobyr: yes, separate BUSID from "PCI.."
[01:50] <ubotu> noobcook: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[01:50] <mnoir> !ntfs | noobcook you looked at this?
[01:50] <ubotu> noobcook you looked at this?: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[01:50] <tobyr> I dont see why I have wacom stuff in there too :/
[01:50] <QRZ`> Hello
[01:50] <cokeslut> hello
[01:50] <CyberCod> Hello everyone
[01:51] <noobcook> yeh i have
[01:51] <noobcook> hangon im gona try remount it
[01:51] <kitche> tobyr: that's how ubuntu is setup
[01:51] <Slart> livingdaylight: kind of like plugins for firefox.. but they have larger impact on how the program works
[01:51] <livingdaylight> Slart, bit like themes?
[01:51] <Kirok> nookcook: okay well if you have a directory to mount it too try sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
[01:51] <stefg> tobyr: that's just a silly ubuntu-default which doesn't affect anything
[01:51] <livingdaylight> Slart, ok
[01:51] <Slart> livingdaylight: yes.. but they change more than just looks
[01:51] <tobyr> right
[01:51] <tobyr> i've used fedora core and mandrake before
[01:51] <CyberCod> Anyone know why the Debian branch of the Ubuntu Menu Bar only seems to work for users that are added after install, and not for the default user?
[01:51] <livingdaylight> Slart, oooh, exciting. Under options, yea?
[01:52] <tobyr> and i've had loads of problems installing nvidia stuff on there
[01:52] <noobcook> mount: /dev/hdd2 already mounted or win busy
[01:52] <noobcook> but lol
[01:52] <noobcook> its not
[01:52] <tobyr> first program i learned using linux was vi
[01:52] <tobyr> LOl
[01:52] <noobcook> coz i double click on win and nothing shows
[01:52] <Slart> livingdaylight: I think so.. it's been a while.. but I think they are called plugins
[01:52] <Kirok> nookcook: if not try sudo mkdir /media/windows and then try it - then if it works manually you can set it up to mount automatically everytime you boot
[01:52] <mnoir> CyberCod: not so on my systems
[01:52] <tobyr> Shit I had a web article on how to mount NTFS
[01:52] <juano_> noobcook: sudo mkdir /media/windows, then, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab, then add this line at the end: /dev/hda1       /media/windows  ntfs    auto,ro,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8  0       0, then sudo mount -a
[01:52] <Slart> livingdaylight: and there are many many plugins available on their site
[01:52] <tobyr> but its on my linux partition that doesnt work LOL

[01:52] <dumbintel> should my ssid be displayed or do I have to type it in?
[01:53] <brianski> anyone know how this can be the case?
[01:53] <brianski> http://pastebin.ca/312578
[01:53] <Kirok> noobcook: try this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_manually.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only - it should work if you know the partition number
[01:53] <tobyr> dumbintel you mean for your wireless adaptor?
[01:53] <dumbintel> yes
[01:53] <tobyr> I had to type mine in when I was setting itup
[01:53] <tobyr> just type it in manually and give it a minute, should work
[01:53] <tobyr> Thats what I did
[01:53] <cokeslut> secret
[01:53] <mnoir> brianski: use fuser to find out who is in there
[01:53] <juano_> noobcook: you should install ntfs-3g from repos too, and change ntfs in that line to ntfs-3g to write
[01:53] <dumbintel> so if i go out to my campus i wont be able to see the available networks
[01:54] <ucordes> when i restart my xserver (with ctrl+alt+backspace), switch to ttys or try to restart, my system freezes into a strange coloured screen. i am using fglrx for my x700 mobility vga and i'm running edgy. how can i solve this?
[01:54] <noobcook> i installed ntfs 3g already
[01:54] <brianski> mnoir: wouldn't a user who is in there show in lsof for the current directory then?
[01:54] <noobcook> oh the line in fstab?
[01:54] <Enverex> What would cause bash scripts to execute wrongly? Errors like "AVERMEDIA-Linux-A828-0.03-beta.sh: 24: [[: not found" when it works fine on other distros like Gentoo (like it's reading the lines wrongly)
[01:54] <tobyr> all of my problems started when I did this: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:54] <juano_> noobcook: yes, change ntfs to ntfs-3g
[01:54] <ucordes> noobcook: pastebin your fstab
[01:54] <mnoir> brianski: maybe - fuser is just one more tool in the bag
[01:54] <kitche> Enverex: /bin/sh is symlinked to dash
[01:54] <noobcook> whats a good pastebin site
[01:55] <stefg> ucordes: by avoiding ati under linux, the drivers are buggy as hell, and closed source, so nobody ca fix he bugs except ATi
[01:55] <dumbintel> also do I have to use wpa_supplicant if i want to use wpa?

[01:55] <Enverex> kitche, er, why?
[01:55] <brianski> mnoir: no output from fuser either.. :(
[01:55] <tobyr> yeah but i dont understand some of the things its asking me

[01:56] <kupesoft> What
[01:56] <kupesoft> What's the good ubuntu laptop?
[01:56] <tobyr> I've done that
[01:56] <stefg> ucordes: i'm wise enough not to touch any Ati with a 10" pole
[01:56] <juano_> tobyr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:56] <kupesoft> IBM ThinkPad?
[01:56] <juano_> tobyr: oh
[01:56] <tobyr> I dont understand some of the stuff it asks me
[01:56] <kitche> Enverex: because it is there's a good thing about it online if you look around you can make it symlinked to bash if you wish
[01:56] <noobcook> ucordes: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1127/
[01:56] <tobyr> Its still a black screen
[01:56] <mnoir> brianski: what happens if you do a controlled shutdown and startup?
[01:56] <ucordes> stefg: what are you using instead?
[01:56] <juano_> tobyr: and retry installing nvidia drivers from repos?
[01:56] <tobyr> hmmm
[01:56] <brianski> mnoir, trying to avoid that
[01:56] <brianski> we'll see
[01:56] <Enverex> kitche, hrmm.. I tried "sudo bash blah.sh" and got pretty much the same thing though
[01:56] <tobyr> im not good in bash lol
[01:57] <juano_> noobcook: did you see my instructions for ntfs mounting?
[01:57] <mnoir> brianski: i am out of more gentle ideas :)
[01:57] <noobcook> yeh i did juano_
[01:57] <noobcook> i thoguht i had it done already
[01:57] <brianski> mnoir: yea
[01:57] <tobyr> juano I did
[01:57] <brianski> the time has come for drastic measures
[01:57] <tobyr> It just tells me I have the newest drivers
[01:57] <Kirok> noobcook: try replacing the last line with /dev/hdd1    /win ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0 - assuming you have a directory called win created
[01:57] <stefg> ucordes: i /should/ use intel for open-source drivers, but i /do/ use nvidia for performance, even if the drivers are sometimes vulnerable
[01:57] <noobcook> my harddrive is on /dev/hdd2 for windows
[01:57] <mnoir> brianski: pls do report back....
[01:57] <jamesb2147> clearzen: thank you VERY much
[01:58] <juano_> noobcook: sudo mkdir /media/windows, then, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab, then add this line at the end: /dev/hdd2       /media/windows  ntfs    auto,ro,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8  0       0, then sudo mount -a
[01:58] <juano_> noobcook: ntfs-3g that would be
[01:58] <noobcook> hangon
[01:58] <noobcook> ok
[01:58] <Kirok> noobcook: hmm well the file identifies /dev/hdd2 it as a swap partition
[01:59] <brianski> mnoir: oh, i will :)
[01:59] <noobcook> sorry my mistake
[01:59] <mnoir> :)
[01:59] <noobcook> its hdd1
[01:59] <tobyr> ok I'm going to delete these logs and try and run X again
[01:59] <juano_> noobcook: do what i told you instead of hdd2 do hdd1
[01:59] <tobyr> Just to make sure I'm getting fresh logs
[01:59] <noobcook> k juano_
[02:00] <peterhd> hello folks - i'm having an update problem, from dapper to edgy. it kinda sorta worked, but has left me with dpkg errors including postfix, postfix-mysql, amavisd-new, courier-imap, courier-maildrop. i've had a thread on the forums, but not getting anywhere with it. Any thoughts?
[02:00] <juano_> noobcook: your win partition will be mounted at /media/windows
[02:00] <noobcook> ok
[02:01] <noobcook> so how do i access it now?
[02:01] <juano_> noobcook: cd /media/windows
[02:01] <Kirok> noobcook: there should be a link to it on your desktop when you restart or go into the file /media/windows
[02:02] <tobyr> how do you create links to mounted partitions?
[02:02] <tobyr> one of my friends in work said you can add a windows drive so it appears as a link on the desktop
[02:02] <tobyr> :s
[02:02] <noobcook> alright
[02:02] <Kirok> noobcook: you might need to type sudo umount-a before the mounts in the fstab file mount
[02:02] <noobcook> it says [mntent] : line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad
[02:03] <jackson3246> does anyone know of an effective way of accessing host filesystems under qemu? I tried connecting to ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>/ in qemu'd Windows XP but it says it can't connect
[02:03] <mnoir> tobyr: if it is in places, just drag it to your desktop
[02:03] <juano_> noobcook: /dev/hdd1       /media/windows  ntfs-3g    auto,ro,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8  0       0
[02:03] <juano_> noobcook: that should be your line
[02:03] <Kirok> noobcook: try replacing it with dev/hdd1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
[02:03] <veeyawn> Anyone able to help me out with a little wifi problem?
[02:04] <noobcook> kirok are u sure
[02:04] <juano_> noobcook: /dev/hdd1       /media/windows  ntfs-3g    auto,rw,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8  0       0  --->this one to RW
[02:04] <noobcook> k
[02:04] <kupesoft> What laptops are you people having no trouble using with ubuntu, I'm in the market to buy
[02:04] <Kirok> noobcook: sorry try /dev/hdd1    /media/windows ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0
[02:04] <noobcook> juano_ david@david-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a
[02:04] <noobcook> mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'
[02:04] <Spaghetti_Knife> Hi, is there an Ubuntu application that can open rar files?
[02:05] <Spaghetti_Knife> Archive manager doesn't work on them.
[02:05] <juano_> noobcook: you didnt install ntfs-3g
[02:05] <noobcook> i so did
[02:05] <noobcook> :\
[02:05] <mnoir> Spaghetti_Knife: do you have unrar installed?
[02:05] <noobcook> !ntfs-3g
[02:05] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[02:05] <juano_> noobcook: hmm.. from repos?>
[02:05] <Spaghetti_Knife> I don't know...
[02:05] <Kirok> noobcook: do you need to write to NTFS if not use mine
[02:05] <noobcook> apt-get
[02:05] <noobcook> yeh i need to write
[02:05] <noobcook> i need to fix boot files
[02:05] <noobcook> lol
[02:05] <shr3ya5> that ntfs thing seems cool
[02:05] <Enverex> What would I need to install to stop this from happening?
[02:05] <Enverex> make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/source O=/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build SUBDIRS=`pwd`
[02:05] <Enverex> make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/source: No such file or directory. Stop.
[02:05] <mnoir> Spaghetti_Knife: that is the util that opens them
[02:05] <juano_> noobcook: use synaptic, search for ntfs-3g, install from there
[02:06] <facugaich> I have an AMD Athlon but the Kernel is 386, should I change to K7?
[02:06] <Spaghetti_Knife> mnoir: Do I find it on Add/Remove?
[02:06] <Valmarko> I decided to run firefox from cli. Well, it runs Firefox :)  But...I get strange messages from the terminal just before Firefox opens : X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168. What does it means ?
[02:06] <Spaghetti_Knife> mnoir: Or Synaptic?
[02:06] <CyberCod> anyone here use avast antivirus on ubuntu?
[02:06] <mnoir> Spaghetti_Knife: you should but i use synaptic to manage packages
[02:06] <Kirok> noobcook: if you need to write then try /dev/hdd1    /media/windows    ntfs-3g    defaults,locale=en_US.utf8    0    0
[02:06] <Slart> Enverex: what are you trying to compile?
[02:07] <Enverex> Slart, A828 DVB-T card driver
[02:07] <mnoir> !info unrar
[02:07] <ubotu> unrar: Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.5.4-0.1 (edgy), package size 84 kB, installed size 216 kB
[02:07] <Kirok> noobcook: then after that type sudo umount -a && sudo mount -a
[02:07] <Slart> Enverex: it looks like you need kernel source or headers
[02:07] <Enverex> Slart, They are both installed... apparently
[02:07] <mnoir> Spaghetti_Knife: there is also rar if you want to make them
[02:08] <Spaghetti_Knife> I found it.
[02:08] <Slart> Enverex: I'm a real newb at this.... so I'm just guessing
[02:08] <Spaghetti_Knife> Thanks!
[02:08] <mnoir> Spaghetti_Knife: :)
[02:08] <Nintendud> I never want to use the ext3 filesystem again. I don't think any FS has an excuse for eating up 15 gigs for no reason at a random point in time.
[02:08] <mnoir> Spaghetti_Knife: dont thank until it works :)
[02:08] <noobcook> hmm
[02:08] <steelb> whats a good prog for making audio
[02:08] <Slart> Enverex: hmm.. are you compiling it yourself? or using apt to build it?
[02:08] <noobcook> ill install 3g first then see
[02:08] <kitche> Nintendud: linux has 5% reserved for root
[02:08] <noobcook> beacuse aparently its not installed
[02:08] <Nintendud> kitche: I know this
[02:08] <steelb> whats a good program for making audio DVDs?
[02:08] <Slart> steelb: audiocity
[02:08] <Enverex> Slart, Myself as it's a mess
[02:08] <juano_> noobcook: did you install ntfs-3g from synaptic?
[02:08] <Nintendud> kitche: but, this 15 gig loss happened wayyyy after the format
[02:09] <Nintendud> I just began losing a gig a second or so until I lost 15 gigs
[02:09] <mnoir> Nintendud: tell us  how you really feel about the standard fs for linux....
[02:09] <Slart> Enverex: and there are no build instructions included?
[02:09] <noobcook> its installing now
[02:09] <juano_> noobcook: thats the first step
[02:09] <noobcook> done
[02:09] <Tox> is there any program to learn English or British English in ubuntu/kubuntu ?
[02:09] <Enverex> Slart, no, it's version 0.03 beta =/
[02:09] <Nintendud> mnoir: well, since I've lost 25 gigs for no reason, whereas reiserfs hasn't lost anything, that's just plain crazy ;p
[02:09] <juano_> noobcook: /dev/hdd1       /media/windows  ntfs-3g    auto,rw,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8  0       0
[02:09] <Nintendud> I'll probably try XFS in the future
[02:09] <Slart> Enverex: hehe.. ouch.. it's doesn't get any more beta than that =/
[02:09] <noobcook> k
[02:09] <juano_> noobcook: sudo mount -a
[02:09] <kitche> Nintendud: well don't blame it on a fs it's probably a program running on your computer or even lost+found is probably doing it
[02:10] <Nintendud> kitche: lost+found is empty
[02:10] <Nintendud> and as for a "program", I've rebooted, and all the total files on there add up to what is read
[02:10] <mnoir> Nintendud: whatever makes you happy - do you really think that ext3 is buggy??
[02:10] <noobcook> done
[02:10] <noobcook> sudo mount -a was a success
[02:10] <juano_> noobcook: ok, cd /media/windows
[02:10] <Nintendud> I think that someone has some explaining to do x_x
[02:10] <noobcook> ye
[02:10] <Slart> Enverex: well.. I wish I could help you.. see if there are any forums or something.. someone must know =)
[02:10] <noobcook> juano_ thanks heaps
[02:10] <Nintendud> I mean, if it really is the 5% allocated, why did it suddenly pop up randomly?
[02:10] <noobcook> lol
[02:10] <noobcook> =)
[02:10] <Nintendud> ;p
[02:11] <noobcook> how where does it put a shortcut in gui mode?
[02:11] <kitche> Nintendud: how big is your partition?
[02:11] <Enverex> Slart, already checked. At least it compiled on Gentoo but then I was on the wrong arch, heh
[02:11] <mnoir> ninno doubt but blaming a stable building block might delay finding the real problem
[02:11] <juano_> noobcook: :)
[02:11] <Nintendud> kitche: it's a 300 gig drive.. let me see what that translates to...
[02:11] <juano_> noobcook: its in storage media
[02:11] <tuxvix> Hello
[02:11] <juano_> noobcook: computer
[02:11] <noobcook> l
[02:11] <noobcook> k
[02:11] <mzuverink> anyone know where knoppix gets the .deb for start up ans shut down?  Its called space sound I believe.
[02:11] <tuxvix> What is the best ubuntu program for video/call (with webcam/mic). ??
[02:11] <noobcook> erm juano_ its not in Computer
[02:11] <ucordes> noobcook: may i ask what your problem was?
[02:11] <Slart> Enverex: hehe
[02:11] <mzuverink> The .deb for its sounds
[02:11] <Nintendud> partition is 275 gigs (4.4 gigs less than Reiserfs partition on a similar drive)
[02:11] <stefg> mzuverink: this is #ubuntu, not #knoppix
[02:12] <crimsun> mzuverink: (you could just pull them from a loopback-mounted knoppix iso)
[02:12] <juano_> noobcook: desktop?
[02:12] <noobcook> ucordes i didnt have ntfs-3g installed properly hehe
[02:12] <ucordes> noobcook: why didn't it want to mount?
[02:12] <noobcook> its not on desktop
[02:12] <FliG> Ok well no one will help me on the forums so could someone help me here? with my sound, i can hear people but they cant hear me
[02:12] <ucordes> oh that's lol
[02:12] <FliG> whys that?
[02:12] <Nintendud> partition is 275 gigs (4.4 gigs less than Reiserfs partition on a similar drive) <-- kitche ;p
[02:12] <noobcook> whats the command to copy a shortcut ?
[02:12] <Nintendud> (similar = same exact type, Seagate, but 8 meg cache)
[02:12] <Slart> FliG: I would guess your microphone isn't setup correctly
[02:12] <tuxvix> any one?
[02:13] <ucordes> noobcook: cp i guess
[02:13] <FliG> ive played with all my settings
[02:13] <FliG> nothing works
[02:13] <mzuverink> stefg, thanks for stating the obious, I am looking for a location of the deb for its start up sounds
[02:13] <noobcook> cp would take the dir wouldn't it
[02:13] <Enverex> What would cause bash scripts to execute wrongly? Errors like "AVERMEDIA-Linux-A828-0.03-beta.sh: 24: [[: not found" when it works fine on other distros like Gentoo (like it's reading the lines wrongly)
[02:13] <Nintendud> kitche: so, it's that size, it SHOULD have 24.9 gigs free, but it reads 10.9 ;p
[02:13] <Slart> FliG: you can start by telling me what software you're using..
[02:13] <Nintendud> and I began losing space randomly about two weeks ago
[02:13] <juano_> noobcook: ln something /media/windows
[02:13] <Nintendud> so it didn't happen right after the format
[02:13] <mzuverink> crimsun, thanks, Ill try that
[02:14] <Nintendud> fairly odd
[02:14] <juano_> noobcook: ln /home/user/Desktop /windows/media
[02:14] <tobyr> well i dont know what the fucks' going on
[02:14] <stefg> !language | tobyr
[02:14] <ubotu> tobyr: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:14] <noobcook> umm
[02:15] <FliG> Slart i use regular ubuntu
[02:15] <juano_> noobcook: weird, should be on desktop
[02:15] <mvfeinstein> I have a media keyboard and I am working if there is a way to make the system recognize a key that it doesnt right now...
[02:15] <noobcook> ln: `/media/windows': hard link not allowed for directory
[02:15] <kitche> Nintendud: unless your logs are growing in size or it might be due to the packages see how much space that they take up
[02:15] <Slart> FliG: ok.. not to be a smartass here.. but you're hearing voices when using regular ubuntu.. but they don'thear you.. is it the neighbours? ;)
[02:15] <juano_> noobcook: try sudo umount -a, then sudo mount -a
[02:16] <Nintendud> kitche: hmm? packages? this isn't a root drive
[02:16] <tobyr> Right I just booted up again but it still only loads a black screen when I type startx, and then crashes
[02:16] <Nintendud> er, root partition, even
[02:16] <tobyr> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1132/
[02:16] <FliG> I use a program called Teamspeak
[02:16] <tobyr> This is the log it generated
[02:16] <tobyr> I really dont see why its doing this
[02:16] <FliG> I use a program called teamspeak, its weird cause i can hear people but they cant hear me
[02:16] <juano_> noobcook: it should appear in computer, else try restarting X or something
[02:16] <Slart> FliG: ah =)... teamspeak... use that myself... teamspeak uses the older sound sysstem
[02:16] <Slart> FliG: called oss
[02:16] <toulouse-sleepin> flig: get a microphone
[02:16] <kitche> Nintendud: ah what is the drive for?
[02:16] <ucordes> mvfeinstein: there are some medie keyboard settings that come with ubuntu. see system, settings, keyboard
[02:17] <Nintendud> kitche: downloads, basically.
[02:17] <Nintendud> it's one of my download partitions
[02:17] <Nintendud> I collect video game music
[02:17] <Nintendud> :)
[02:17] <toulouse-sleepin> lol
[02:17] <tolldog> I have a quick question, wireless support, my broadcom 4311 is giving me fits with wep/wpa, if I buy a card, what do you suggest
[02:17] <Nintendud> and rip music from games that lack OSTs
[02:17] <Slart> FliG: ubuntu mainly uses alsa for sound. Have you tried running only teamspeak.. no music, no games etc in teh background.. does that make it work?
[02:17] <noobcook> meh its probs something im overlooking
[02:17] <FliG> Ive tryed and nothing works
[02:17] <noobcook> juano_ while i have u how do i install ati drivers
[02:17] <Nintendud> but anyway, it doesn't have anything written by root on it, but even if it does, it's irrelevant
[02:18] <juano_> !ati | noobcook
[02:18] <ubotu> noobcook: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:18] <FliG> If it matters i have onbord sound and i have an asus MB
[02:18] <tobyr> Anyone got any ideas why this isn't booting X but just hanging on a black screen? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1132/
[02:18] <Nintendud> all I know is that in one day, in a few hours, I went from 25 gigs free to 10 gigs free without writing anything to the drive ;p
[02:18] <Nintendud> well, technically something was writing to the drive, but it was writing on allocated space, so the space used on the partition never increased
[02:18] <mvfeinstein> ucordes I have already been through all of those and did not see an option for "shuffle"
[02:18] <nighthawk2> what is X?
[02:18] <noobcook> ty
[02:18] <mag_> hey can you help me with samba ? "ACL's" ? please help me !
[02:18] <Slart> FliG: that shouldn't matter... .You said you've tried everything.. you've been messing with the volume controls, right?
[02:19] <hendrickvp> any ideas on getting the imagick package installed? anyone?
[02:19] <kitche> Nintendud: well I figured for 300 gig drive 15 gigs would go to root so I would say something you have might be using your space without you knowing it
[02:19] <pluto> h
[02:19] <Nintendud> kitche: I don't see why it would suddenly, in one day, be like "boom. 15 gigs allocated to root"
[02:20] <Nintendud> and there isn't anything using the space ;p
[02:20] <tobyr> i think its easier if i reinstall  :( :(
[02:20] <Nintendud> I've tallied the space already, folder by folder

[02:20] <tobyr> whats the easiest way to reinstll from a dual boot system? just put the cd in again?
[02:20] <juano_> noobcook: lol, try this, very simple, inside /media/windows hold ctrl + shift and select windows folder, drag to desktop and let go of ctrl + shift, that makes the link in GUI
[02:20] <juano_> noobcook: inside /media i mean
[02:20] <Nintendud> owell. that is why i will probably never use ext3 again
[02:21] <Nintendud> I value 25 gigs of my dpace
[02:21] <Nintendud> space*
[02:21] <noobcook> ROFL
[02:21] <noobcook> ok thanks juano
[02:21] <noobcook> haha
[02:21] <noobcook> =p
[02:21] <Nintendud> (15 lost on that partition, 10 lost on another, 1 gig lost on root; so technically 26)
[02:21] <iratsu_> how do i find out what process is using a device?
[02:21] <Enverex> Why would bash scripts not work properly in Ubuntu?
[02:21] <mohadip> hola como estan
[02:21] <kitche> Nintendud: your not evben sure if it's ext3 it could be someone using your machine for soemthing
[02:21] <Nintendud> kitche: no one is using my machine but me :)
[02:21] <Falstius> Nintendud: you can create ext3 partitions with 0% allocated for root ...
[02:22] <Nintendud> Falstius: I don't even know if it IS allocated for root
[02:22] <Nintendud> Falstius: 15 gigs vanished out of the blue
[02:22] <Nintendud> Falstius: and it's not written to, it just disappeared out of the "free" space
[02:22] <ucordes> hm hotdogs
[02:22] <tolldog> do a du | sort -n
[02:22] <tolldog> look for where it is
[02:22] <Falstius> Nintendud: vanished?  Sorry, I wasn't paying attention earlier.
[02:22] <tolldog> maybe du -x
[02:22] <nighthawk2> ucordes: what's the difference between X and gnome?
[02:22] <Nintendud> Falstius: it's alright. basically, in a few hours two weeks ago, I starting losing 1 gig an hour on that partition.
[02:22] <mx-zoom> heeh
[02:22] <mag_> help me samba please !
[02:22] <Nintendud> Falstius: now, I am missing 15 gigs.
[02:23] <noobcook> juano_ do you know how i would be able to dump all outgoing data on a certain port? eg to grab passwords?
[02:23] <toulouse> !vanishing15gigsofharddrivespace
[02:23] <Nintendud> Falstius: if I look at output from programs, and tabulate it myself, I should have 25 gigs free.
[02:23] <Eroick> what is that widget that goes in the panel and lets you type commands which it will search on your computer or run?
[02:23] <Falstius> Nintendud: sounds like a runaway process, although that would generally only happen in /var or /tmp.
[02:23] <Slart> Eroick: Deskbar?
[02:23] <stranger_stone> Hello
[02:23] <juano_> noobcook: hmm not sure, but i can search for it
[02:23] <Eroick> Slart: yeah, that. thanks
[02:23] <Nintendud> Falstius: the odd thing is, gnome-system-monitor reports "25 gigs Free", but "10.9 gigs available"
[02:23] <ucordes> the difference is that X is basically the thing where everything you see now runs on. like gnome which is your desktop enviornment assuming you are using ubuntu.
[02:23] <Falstius> Nintendud: what program did you use to calculate the space used?
[02:23] <noobcook> ok
[02:24] <Nintendud> Falstius: I also used df, and I manually tabulated the space myself
[02:24] <ucordes> !gnome | nighthawk2

[02:24] <Nintendud> and lost+found is empty
[02:24] <mag_> I have problems with samba... please help me !
[02:25] <Falstius> Nintendud: well, I assume you didn't read the bits 1 by 1, so did you use ls, du or something like nautilus?
[02:25] <Nintendud> Falstius: I used Thunar
[02:25] <Nintendud> (xfce4's file manager)
[02:25] <TruthElixirX> This is the place to get some help with Ubuntu, right?
[02:25] <Nintendud> Falstius: and du
[02:25] <Nintendud> I used du as well
[02:25] <TGPO> Nintendud, try using df -m
[02:25] <Nintendud> TGPO: okay
[02:25] <mx-zoom> TruthElixirX: yes it is
