[14:58] <ThomasWaldmann> moin :) having issues with ubuntu 8.10, booting from md0, initramfs doesn't assemble the md0 device and drops me to busybox
[14:58] <TerminHell> josh__: are you connecting to a VM or something?
[14:59] <arvind_khadri> ScarySquirrel, no i think you must enable backports... how did you install 8.10?
[14:59] <josh__> No I screwed something up big time trying to fix another problem
[14:59] <istvan_> for some reason my numpad stopped working, any solutions?
[14:59] <arvind_khadri> DarkKnight, i didnt see your problem...  sorry
[14:59] <ThomasWaldmann> for debian there is /etc/default/mdadm where you can set what md devices to start on the initramfs, but ubuntu does not have those variables. any hints?
[14:59] <TerminHell> push the NumLock key
[15:00] <ScarySquirrel> arvind_khadri:  I installed it by means of a downloaded upgrade from a previous installation.
[15:00] <istvan_> TerminHell: nope, tried that
[15:00] <TerminHell> josh__: what were you trying to fix?
[15:00] <neil_d_> I would like to know how to setup a serial console if there is not /etc/inittab?  all the examples I have found say edit /etc/inittab!
[15:00] <arvind_khadri> ScarySquirrel, do you have backports enabled?
[15:00] <DarkKnight> arvind_khadri; that's okk when i restart apache2 i get this error:  * Restarting web server apache2                                                apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_User}
[15:00] <ScarySquirrel> arvind_khadri:  Let me check.
[15:00] <TerminHell> istvan_: i have no idea then, rerun your keyboard setup? idk
[15:01] <josh__> I was trying to fix a problem with switching users... and I went into the Login Window preferences and told it to use the Chooser instead of the Greeter which was my own dumb fault I didn't know what it was for
[15:01] <erUSUL> neil_d_: look up the files  /etc/event.d/tty*
[15:01] <arvind_khadri> DarkKnight, how do you restart it?
[15:01] <erUSUL> !upstart | neil_d_
[15:01] <erUSUL> !inittab | neil_d_
[15:02] <Asad> hey... anyone know of a software that can be used for streaming to a shoutcast server like winamp + shoutcast DSP plugin on windows?
[15:02] <erUSUL> !info shoutcast
[15:02] <arvind_khadri> Asad, rythmbox i guess
[15:02] <TerminHell> josh__: and now you cant log in to fix it eh?
[15:02] <RenatoSilva> How to make apt-get autoremove & autoclean run automatically after Update Manager updates Ubuntu?
[15:02] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, run them manually
[15:02] <Asad> nope .. rythmbox doesn't have it
[15:03] <ScarySquirrel> arvind_khadri:  I have always had all the update categories, from intrepid-security to intrepid-backports enabled.
[15:03] <josh__> Basically :(
[15:03] <josh__> I can get to text logins I know how to do that
[15:03] <TerminHell> josh__: well, you may still get access using another TTS login
[15:03] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: you didn't answer the question
[15:03] <TerminHell> ah
[15:04] <arvind_khadri> ScarySquirrel, then run sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:04] <neil_d_> erUSUL: thanks, I suppose debian will move to this sooner or latter?
[15:04] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, i told you to run them manually
[15:04] <TerminHell> josh__: well if you can still log via TTS, you may wanna ask how to change the gdm settings via cli...
[15:04] <BorkisDrizzt> what is the path of sshd's config file?
[15:04] <ScarySquirrel> Yes.
[15:04] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: I told you you didn't answer the question
[15:04] <erUSUL> neil_d_: dunno really; fedora has switched i think
[15:04] <TerminHell> ill look for ya
[15:04] <malibu> Hi there, I have awesome 3.1 configured on Ubuntu.. can anyone tell me how I might configure my screen resolution?
[15:04] <josh__> Ok.  I've found some stuff online, and I found /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[15:04] <erUSUL> BorkisDrizzt: /etc/ssh/*
[15:05] <Huufarted> Question:  Have a fat32 partition that I'm trying to load by adding it to fstab.  It gets mounted to /media/disk when I click on it through Places, but won't automount when added to fstab.  Can someone take a look at this fstab and maybe tell me why it won't automount?  Sorry for the block-o'-text.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/120609/
[15:05] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, sorry i dont know about it
[15:05] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: ok, thanks
[15:05] <Fiftyone> howdy all. I have been having a bit of a problem i have a hd from an old mac, i can mount it and even access files but some of the files are locked due to premission errors. I can copy some of the files but out of 100gb i can get only about 30gb any ideaa how i can access this drive in full?
[15:05] <TerminHell> josh__:  perfect =D le me know if you get it working
[15:06] <malibu> Huufarted: A trick I like is just find the line for your drive from /etc/mnttab and append it to /etc/fstab
[15:06] <erUSUL> Huufarted: is the device correct?? /dev/hda4 ? paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[15:06] <Huufarted> malibu:  I'll try that.
[15:06] <RenatoSilva> WHat's the better way to put apt-get autoremove & clean running at system startup? rc.local? something else?
[15:06] <TerminHell> Fiftyone: are you trying to directly copy all of the disks contents over the network?
[15:07] <genii> the hdX# syntax shoulda gone out with 6.10 or so
[15:07] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, no...maybe you will have to use some scripting and put the thing as a deamon
[15:07] <Huufarted> erUSUL:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/120612/
[15:07] <neil_d> erUSUL: the website says its in debian experimental, so it going to happen sometime.
[15:07] <erUSUL> Huufarted: is /dev/sda4 not /dev/hda4
[15:08] <ScarySquirrel> arvind_khadri:  I have entered and run the command "sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".
[15:08] <erUSUL> Huufarted: also defaults options for a fat32 partition will give you some trouble
[15:08] <Huufarted> erUSUL, thank you for pointing out I"m retarded.  *sigh*
[15:08] <erUSUL> !fat | Huufarted
[15:08] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: why daemon?
[15:08] <arvind_khadri> ScarySquirrel, ok .. so whats going on?
[15:08] <erUSUL> Huufarted: see the wiki page for details on the options to use in fstab for vfat/fat32
[15:09] <Huufarted> erUSUL: thanks.  I will for sure
[15:09] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, so that there is a constant check on the package status... as you dont know when the release of updates happen
[15:10] <Fiftyone> terminhell, no via usb. I took the drive from an old mac lappy and im connecting it over usb
[15:10] <josh__> I fixed it!  Yay!
[15:10] <tuxflavrdwafls> Hi!  I have an acer aspire 5335, and I cannot get my webcam to work.  anyone got a good site to start looking on?
[15:10] <Mal3ko> curl -v -T filenamehere ftp://uname:pass@hostname/public_html/dir/ <-- how do we use filelist with this command?
[15:10] <ScarySquirrel> arvind_khadri:  I have run the command, and the update ran as usual.  I have now just run the two commands you mentioned earlier for determining which kernel I have, and pasted the output here:  http://pastebin.com/d46ad83fd .  I have Firefox, IRC, and gnome-terminal open.
[15:10] <TerminHell> josh__: *HIGH FIVE!
[15:10] <saurabh> wat is the subtitute for /etc/inittab in ubuntu
[15:10] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: soory, but what the hell are you talking about? are you a kid or ubuntonto?
[15:10] <doolph> hello
[15:10] <doolph> anyone here know what is my:
[15:10] <doolph>   "/dev/server": Invalid path for Logical Volume
[15:10] <DarkKnight> arvind_khadri; sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[15:11] <n8tuserf> RenatoSilva-> if you  do not understand what a daemon, can you kindly google for the definition of it?
[15:11] <TerminHell> Fiftyone: so you have a 32gb flash drive and trying to do it that way?
[15:11] <pekalongan_> hai
[15:11] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: what makes you be sure I don't know what's a daemon?
[15:12] <arvind_khadri> ScarySquirrel, for going on to a new kernel i think you will have to do a fresh install
[15:12] <Behemoth> hi
[15:12] <TerminHell> Fiftyone: sorry, i get ya now, linked the old fashioned way
[15:12] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: sorry,
[15:12] <saurabh>  wat is the subtitute for /etc/inittab in ubuntu
[15:12] <RenatoSilva> n8tuserf: what makes you be sure I don't know what's a daemon?
[15:12] <nomego> hey guys
[15:12] <nomego> how do I compile an ubuntu kernel myself? I just need to change a couple of lines in the source..
[15:12] <TerminHell> Fiftyone: the only thing that comes to mind is power settings, if either machine suspends or hibernates during this process it will interupt the xfer
[15:12] <n8tuserf> RenatoSilva-> because of your question why a daemon?
[15:12] <DarkKnight> arvind_khadri; any idea??
[15:13] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: autoremove & autoclean may run at startup, if there's nothing to clean or remove, then NOTHING HAPPENS, there's NO PROBLEM with this approach ;)
[15:13] <arvind_khadri> DarkKnight, that should work then... i dont know much about it am sure.... google it....
[15:13] <saurabh> wat is the subtitute for /etc/inittab in ubuntu
[15:13] <RenatoSilva> n8tuserf: so you don't know how to read a question
[15:13] <erUSUL> saurabh: for doing what?
[15:13] <tuxflavrdwafls> Hi!  I have an acer aspire 5335, and I cannot get my webcam to work.  anyone got a good site to start looking on?
[15:13] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, ya but you wanted it to run after the update manager updates your packages
[15:13] <DarkKnight> can anyone help me restart apache2...i get errors while restarting
[15:13] <n8tuserf> RenatoSilva->  you are trolling? i asked you nicely, drop it
[15:13] <RenatoSilva> n8tuserf: I'd ask WHAT's a daemon instead ;)
[15:13] <saurabh> for run levels(i want the file for run levels)
[15:13] <Mal3ko> curl -v -T filenamehere ftp://uname:pass@hostname/public_html/dir/ <-- how do we use filelist with this command?
[15:14] <doolph> urgent I need help with LVM
[15:14] <Pir8> Hello folks.
[15:14] <arvind_khadri> !lvm | doolph
[15:14] <Pir8> Need some assistance trying to install proftpd.
[15:14] <saurabh> like we have in redhat(/etc/inittab).there must be somthing in ubntu
[15:14] <arvind_khadri> Mal3ko, ubuntu uses wget... not curl
[15:14] <erUSUL> saurabh: all runlevels in ubuntu/debian are equal by default (except 0,1 and 6 of course)
[15:14] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: I gave up of that, in favor or system startup (as it seems impossible)
[15:14] <ScarySquirrel> arvind_khadri:  Since this happened with a live CD which used Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), I doubt that reinstalling with a later CD will fix the problem.  In the event that it does not, how do I use 8.10 with an earlier kernel?
[15:15] <[droide]> I just downloaded some dotfiles that were published for mac and the author says it is possible to use/install in ubuntu...What is the default place to put dotfiles in ubuntu?
[15:15] <Mal3ko> arvind_khadri: cant use wget..i have no permission to use it
[15:15] <Mal3ko> only wget
[15:15] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: in favor OF
[15:15] <doolph> arvind_khadri can you help me? I am reading it but those tutorials only teach you how to create it from scratch, I just need add another HD to increase my actual HD
[15:15] <saurabh> so we dont have a subtitute of /etc/inittab in ubuntu>
[15:15] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: now I've got your suggestion
[15:15] <saurabh> ????????????/
[15:15] <arvind_khadri> Mal3ko, sudo wget maybe
[15:15] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: sorry
[15:16] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, its ok :)
[15:16] <Pir8> I have proftpd installed using apt-get install proftpd, but am not able to see where I select "Standalone/Inetd" nor do I see /etc/init.d/proftpd
[15:16] <arvind_khadri> doolph, sorry am not a expert on that..
[15:16] <erUSUL> saurabh:i ask again what do you want to change?
[15:16] <n8tuserf> saurabh -> near equivalent is /etc/event.d
[15:16] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: would be nice update manager having some trigger mechanism
[15:16] <Kaerigan> Currently running the 8.10 live CD. It mounts my USB drive, but as read-only. Can I fix this somehow? Trying to actually install Ubuntu on it.
[15:16] <Mal3ko> arvind_khadri: lol..its webshost ssh..i can only use curl
[15:17] <arvind_khadri> ScarySquirrel, i think you arent getting the point... live-cd sometimes is weird...so install and check anyways...
[15:17] <arvind_khadri> Mal3ko, oh ok :)
[15:17] <saurabh> thanx /etc/evet.d is the one
[15:17] <saurabh> thanx
[15:17] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, you can make it as a wishlist...
[15:17] <Mal3ko> do you know trick with xarg?
[15:17] <TerminHell> lag?
[15:17] <Mal3ko> xargs*
[15:17] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: ok, thanks
[15:17] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: and sorry
[15:18] <aleix> anyone here knows when nf_nat_ftp should be used? If i load it the users on my local net can't download any file from a remote fet server...
[15:18] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, thats really ok :) np never mind
[15:18] <Travis-42> how can I turn on monitor color profiles on a per monitor basis? (e.g. different profile for left monitor and for right monitor)
[15:18] <n8tuserf> Kaerigan -> you have tried to read up a bit on mount ?  man mount, and see i fyou can get the idea, options are listed on man pages..
[15:19] <n8tuserf> aleix -> thats an application? what does that do supposedly?
[15:19] <Kaerigan> n8tuserf: Didn't think of that. I'll try it.
[15:19] <RenatoSilva> Is there a way to disable .bash_history?
[15:20] <aleix> no, it's an netfilter/iptables module
[15:20] <rdohms> hey guys
[15:20] <saurabh> i want to dual boot ubuntu with windows vista(vista first).........using a pen drive[as becoz the cd drive is not working ]......can anyone tell me the complete set of procedures
[15:20] <RatPackSopra-> BLANK MicroCrap .....that is all ;)
[15:20] <rdohms> i have a inteprid install that for some reason cannot connect fo HTTPS svn repos, only to HTTP ... any ideas?
[15:21] <n8tuserf> aleix -> not many of us would remember what each and every module does, doesnt the web page you downloaded it from has description and how to use it?
[15:21] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, ya sure,... ask #bash :)
[15:21] <aleix> I'm having a terrible time finding documentation on this modules (nf_conntrack_*, nf_nat_*)
[15:21] <saurabh> i want to dual boot ubuntu with windows vista(vista first).........using a pen drive[as becoz the cd drive is not working ]......can anyone tell me the complete set of procedures
[15:22] <nanotube> saurabh: there's some stuff on the wiki about creating a 'liveusb'.
[15:22] <n8tuserf> aleix -> then dont use a module that you are not familiar with, it would be darn difficult to troubleshoot, but it also has options so maybe you can get the gist from it?
[15:22] <nanotube> !liveusb
[15:22] <ScarySquirrel> arvind_khadri:  I will try a full installation of Ubuntu 8.10, and, failing that, two different Live CDs that implement Ubuntu 8.10.  Otherwise, it's back to 7.10 for me.  Thanks for being patient.  Wish me luck.
[15:22] <saurabh> let me see
[15:22] <nanotube> saurabh: so just find it and read that. :)
[15:23] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/27995/Top_Ten_basic_things_to_know_about_securing_Ubuntu
[15:23] <saurabh> thanx
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> saurabh Please hold down the repeats, every few minutes is plenty often enough.. and if you are asking us how to setup your pen drive as a dual boot with vista.. All on the same pen drive?
[15:23] <arvind_khadri> ScarySquirrel, lots of luck...
[15:23] <n8tuserf> saurabh -> bootin a vista from a usb, you may have to google for a how to on that,
[15:23] <TerminHell1> ScarySquirrel: be sure when your burning livCD's that you use your burners SLOWEST burn speed to insure data integrity
[15:23] <saurabh> no vista is already installed....i just want it to dual boot using pendrive
[15:23] <aleix> yes, i know that would be the way to work... the thing is i've just upgraded to a new kernel and this modules have changed. I've been using the "old versions" for two years now without problems. I was just trying to find if something had changed... :(
[15:24] <saurabh> ubuntu using pen drive
[15:24] <n8tuserf> saurabh -> ahh, then you can use netbootin also to install the linux part
[15:24] <n8tuserf> !install | saurabh
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> aleix Which kernel
[15:24] <nanotube> saurabh: here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[15:24] <tuxflavrdwafls> Hi!  I have an integrated web cam on my acer aspire lap top, and it doesnt seem to be recognized by anything.  any ideas?
[15:25] <aleix> 2.6.24 on an Ubuntu Server 8.10
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[15:25] <aleix> sorry 8.04 LTS (same kernel)
[15:25] <rdohms> i have a inteprid install that for some reason cannot connect fo HTTPS svn repos, only to HTTP ... any ideas?
[15:26] <nanotube> saurabh: also see this for an alternative: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[15:26] <arvind_khadri> Jack_Sparrow, how is it that he has a old kernel on 8.04 ?
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> nanotube Ugh, I hate seeing people use wubi
[15:26] <TheClam> Hi, all - since I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid (amongst many, many other things) my DVD drive is no longer detected. If I reboot and select an older kernel, it works fine. It's SATA if that makes any odds. Any ideas?
[15:26] <n8tuserf> aleix -> if possible, there may be an equivalent iptables rules to accomplish that, try to figure out what that module accomplishes and maybe you can be able to create a rule to do same functionality
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> arvind_khadri No idea why he is on that kernel
[15:26] <aleix> ok, i'll see what i can do...
[15:27] <aleix> thanks
[15:27] <breeze> older kernel can wort better
[15:27] <nanotube> Jack_Sparrow: it's not just about wubi :)
[15:27] <arvind_khadri> Jack_Sparrow, ok :) if i upgrade say from gutsy to hardy my kernel tree should autmatically change?
[15:27] <TheClam> breeze: well it does.... for the DVD at least
[15:27] <godzirra> Okay...  I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my new lapptop... and everytime I get a long string of errors when it starts installing then it starts spamming:  "VFS: busy inodes on changed media."
[15:27] <godzirra> I've redownloaded the cd like 3 times and checked the md5sums etc.
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> nanotube Ugh, I hate seeing people install ubuntu under windows (even in a vm)
[15:28] <guilhermeblanco> I'm having troubles with an ubuntu instance of EC2... I cannot svn co over https... do you have any ideas what can it be?
[15:28] <n8tuserf> godzirra -> does it even allow you to boot into livecd? before even doing an install
[15:28] <nanotube> Jack_Sparrow: heh
[15:28] <godzirra> The first error when it crashes is "SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x56465"
[15:28] <godzirra> n8tuserf: yeah, and it seems to work fine
[15:28] <genii> Bad CD
[15:28] <godzirra> It doesn't crash until I start installing.
[15:29] <godzirra> genii: 3 burns of bad cds? :p
[15:29] <IdleOne> godzirra, try hitting F6 and enterring all_generi_ide at the end of the line. see if that helps you. also try the Alternate Install cd.
[15:29] <n8tuserf> godzirra -> its possible
[15:29] <IdleOne> godzirra, try hitting F6 and enterring all_generic_ide at the end of the line. see if that helps you. also try the Alternate Install cd.
[15:29] <genii> godzirra: "sb_bread failed reading.."
[15:29] <IdleOne> godzirra, slow burn is better also. prevents errors
[15:29] <godzirra> Bleh.  Okay.
[15:29] <jxander> i am trying to install the kubuntu-desktop package but i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/120624/ . please advice
[15:30] <godzirra> genii: I'm worried if that the cd or my hard drive.
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> godzirra At start or install screen, press F6 and remove splash and quiet,  if that does not work do it again but now also add noapic acpi=off before the -- on the command line
[15:30] <IdleOne> godzirra, slowest speed you can
[15:30] <godzirra> So add noapic acpi=off all_generic_ide
[15:30] <IdleOne> that should help you some yes
[15:30] <speedmaster> godzirra: is it a wubi install?
[15:30] <godzirra> k
[15:31] <n8tuserf> godzirra -> i dont know if it just mine, cdrom/dvdroms do warm up, i think the laser overheat after several usage, so let it cool down a few mins, and try again?
[15:31] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: I don't have bash_profile :S
[15:31] <godzirra> speedmaster: uh, I don't think so?
[15:31] <TheClam> alright, no ideas on the DVD not being detected... anyone know why SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) is no longer working since upgrade to Intrepid?
[15:31] <RenatoSilva> :s
[15:31] <godzirra> n8tuserf: I let it cooldown all night and just tried it this morning with the same problem. :)
[15:31] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, how do you know? its a hidden file..
[15:32] <mikey213> Heya all
[15:32] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: ls ~/.bash_history
[15:32] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: sorry
[15:33] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: profile
[15:33] <mikey213> I am using evolution to download my gmail, but it downloads my email is spurts
[15:33] <godzirra> okay, I'm burning at 4x now then.
[15:33] <Mal3ko> curl -v -T filenamehere ftp://uname:pass@hostname/public_html/dir/ <-- how do we use filelist with this command? maybe xargs
[15:33] <mikey213> I get 10 mail and then I need to press send/recv again and it continues download.. this keeps on happening..
[15:33] <mikey213> What is the problem ?
[15:34] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, in the given page i guess he creates one...better to ask #bash about this
[15:35] <kg> Hi I wanted to confirm if compiz-fusion is workable on vmware-workstation 6.5 [it has 3d acceleration support now available for ubuntu 8.04]
[15:36] <tuxflavrdwafls> Hi!  I have an integrated web cam on my acer aspire lap top, and it doesnt seem to be recognized by anything.  any ideas?

[15:37] <arvind_khadri> RenatoSilva, dont give them that page :) tell them what you want to achieve
[15:37] <tuxflavrdwafls> sorry to post over and over but can anyone see me? or do i have to register or something?
[15:37] <guntbert> !sudo | whacked
[15:37] <speedmaster> decent linux music player suggestions? not including Rhythm box
[15:38] <arvind_khadri> speedmaster, there are many...
[15:38] <arvind_khadri> !poll | speedmaster
[15:38] <speedmaster> so name some
[15:38] <kg> has no one used compiz-fusion on ubuntu 8.0.4!!!
[15:38] <Dimensions> Hi can some one please tell me why im getting message E: Package apache2-common has no installation candidate
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> kg Not in vm looking for 3d accel..
[15:38] <guntbert> whacked: you invoke the command like "sudo mycommand", then you are prompted for *your* PW
[15:39] <arvind_khadri> Dimensions, as it has no installation candidate :)
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> kg try /join #Compiz
[15:39] <whacked> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html so the instructions listed on this page is bogus
[15:39] <arvind_khadri> !find apache2-common
[15:40] <dwhsix1> might be better to ask this elsewhere, but any thoughts why "ping -ttl <somenumber>" always fails with "connect: Invalid argument"?
[15:40] <Frantic> I just erased my swap partition and recreated it (to resize), now I need the new UUID to put it in fstab, how do I find the new UUID. (don't say /dev/disks/by-uuid, only my ext4 partition shows there for some reason)
[15:40] <godzirra> Okay, running the installer now I just got "Timezone failed with exit code 126.  Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog.  Do you want to try running this step again before continuing?"
[15:40] <godzirra> So maybe it is a bad cd.
[15:40] <godzirra> I'll try again with the one I burn at 4x.
[15:40] <Dimensions> arvind_khadri:  so what does that mean ?
[15:40] <guntbert> dwhsix1: what are you trying to accomplish?
[15:41] <n8tuserf> godzirra -> try the 1x
[15:41] <arvind_khadri> arvind_khadri, that you will need need to install it using the package its being refered by...what do you want basically?
[15:41] <godzirra> n8tuserf: Well, I'm already burning at 4x so we'll try that one next. ;)
[15:41] <dwhsix1> guntbert: see if I can get more info about a networking problem by not having packets go the whole route
[15:42] <dwhsix1> we're trying to investigate issue where ping w/ packetsize < n work, but packetsize > n all fail
[15:42] <whacked> why do i always get indirect answers here
[15:42] <dwhsix1> (and net perf also sucks for other activity)
[15:42] <Dimensions> arvind_khadri:  i would like to install apache ssl ... i have apache2 on my server but apparently apache2-ssl-certficate was not install so can't generate certificate
[15:42] <guntbert> dwhsix1: there is always traceroute, but you might want ping -t 1 <IP>
[15:43] <arvind_khadri> !find apache2-ssl
[15:43] <dwhsix1> guntbert: anytime I add -t to ping, I get the error
[15:43] <dwhsix1> weird
[15:43] <arvind_khadri> !find apache-ssl
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> godzirra To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[15:44] <godzirra> Live CD runs just fine
[15:44] <godzirra> Its just when I try to install that it goes badly.
[15:44] <guntbert> dwhsix1: you must put a number after -t !
[15:44] <tuxflavrdwafls> Hi!  I have an integrated webcam on my acer apire 5335 laptop.  And it does not seem to be recognized. any help?
[15:44] <boot_loop> I'm looking for a random cool ubuntu app, anyone have any suggestions?
[15:44] <dwhsix1> guntbert: I know... and interesting!  works on another ubuntu system
[15:44] <dwhsix1> but not on my laptop
[15:44] <Huufarted> erUSUL: I got it mounted.  It took some work, but I found the issue.  The mounting directory HAS to be created.  when you mount it through GNOME (and KDE I'd assume), it automatically does this and then removes it afterwards.  Adding an entry into fstab requires the empty directory already exist.
[15:44] <dwhsix1> maybe it's network driver issue
[15:45] <arvind_khadri> Dimensions, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4466.html
[15:45] <Pici> Dimensions: I'm pretty sure you don't need an extra package to do ssl certs.
[15:45] <Frantic> anyone? how do I get a partition's UUID?
[15:46] <whacked> k i am trying to install xampp and the instruction say to do the following Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root: type su then i am prompted for password, "ok what is the password i tried the password that i use to login to ubuntu with on start up but i receive message that i am using wrong password. and another thing what is Linux shell , i was assuming that it goto terminal ? what will i hav
[15:46] <genii> Frantic: blkid
[15:46] <whacked> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#374
[15:46] <Frantic> whacked: to log in as root use sudo su
[15:46] <Frantic> and you have to enter your current user's password
[15:46] <guntbert> dwhsix1: auuw ;-) I didn't read the error completely, you might be correct, what about traceroute?
[15:46] <dwhsix1> well, I can do it on another system, so that's good enough... can do my analysis there
[15:47] <Pici> whacked: We do not support XAMPP here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in the repositories.
[15:47] <nickrud> Frantic, better to recommend sudo -i  actually; same net result, a bit better environment
[15:47] <RizR> hi, did anyone get anywhere with ati+compiz+dual-head?
[15:47] <hexmasta2> ubantu
[15:47] <Pici> !lamp > whacked
[15:48] <dwhsix1> guntbert: traceroute acts a little bit strange as well... and even on the system where ping -t *does* work
[15:48] <tuxflavrdwafls> Hi!  I have an integrated webcam on my acer apire 5335 laptop.  And it does not seem to be recognized. any help?
[15:48] <Frantic> genii: thanks a lot :)
[15:48] <Pici> Dimensions: The ssl module is part of the default apache2 install.
[15:48] <fasta> When I do aplay -l I get: aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found...
[15:48] <genii> Frantic: Needs sudo in the command, I forgot to put it there
[15:48] <fasta> I already build the latest alsa-driver from source, I don't see what else I can do.
[15:48] <whacked> can someone pleas go to link i posted
[15:49] <guntbert> dwhsix1: a little bit strange? how so?
[15:49] <hexmasta2> whacked: what link?
[15:49] <linduxed> what is the general chmod digit combination for "anyone - do whatever"

[15:50] <redLAW> hi to all
[15:50] <fevel> hey friends
[15:50] <fevel> I have created a directory and in this directory I have put three txt files. Each file contains a name and a password on this format " john,passwd" I would like to read all the txt files on this directory and create each user on htpasswd. Can someone guide me? I was informed that I would be able to do this easily with a bash script and awk although I don't know awk that well
[15:50] <Huufarted> !webcam | tuxflavrdwafls
[15:50] <linduxed> hexmasta2: thx
[15:50] <whacked> these instruction are missing info required for installing so i am asking from the missing blanks
 whacked: We do not support XAMPP here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in the repositories.
[15:50] <Discipulus> So my laptop (Compaq) Occasionally has issues waking up from suspend. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and specifically the issue is that when I go to wake up, the computer wakes up, but the password prompt does not appear (Computer is awake, but screen is still black, not entirely black like off black, but artificially black like on black if that makes sense)
[15:50] <redLAW> can somenone tell me some good ubuntu distro which can act as router/gateway
[15:50] <fevel> ubuntu server
[15:50] <fevel> with webmin
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> whacked Perhaps /join #apache or #ubuntu-server
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> fevel webmin is no longer supported
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin
[15:51] <guntbert> whacked: read and follow the advice given by Pici
[15:51] <redLAW> fevel: I tried that but still no good
[15:52] <whacked> well it pretty pathetic a website shows instruction for installing xampp with incomplete instruction
[15:52] <tuxflavrdwafls> huufarted i think those links just apply to usb cameras,  mine is built into the laptop.
[15:52] <kamyk> hey
[15:52] <Huufarted> tuxflavrdwafls: it's still a USB camera
[15:52] <hexmasta2> whacked: i've used Xampp for Win32 with no problems. If you have a Win32 system the process is straight forward
[15:52] <kamyk> i have problem
[15:52] <godzirra> So if I get an I/O error on dev sr0, that means a bad cd?
[15:52] <kamyk> becouse

[15:52] <boot_loop> what makes ubuntu better than debian for workstations??

[16:03] <whacked> whacked: Is there a problem with the LAMP stack in Ubuntu that you feel the need to use a third party setup? no what would make you think that it was necessary to in fact ask that question
[16:03]  * hexmasta2 wonders why whacked won't take his questions to #xampp
[16:04] <kamyk> quibbler: it;s this same ;(
[16:04] <Pici> !xampp | whacked
[16:04] <whacked> because usually you need some to respond in order to have a converstion, so if the channel for xampp is all sleeping
[16:04] <hexmasta2> they're awake
[16:05] <fabio_> ...
[16:05] <RenatoSilva> arvind_khadri: it's ~/.bashrc
[16:06] <godzirra> Great.
[16:06] <whacked> why you personal talking to someone now in that channel , i have yet to receive a response in that channel
[16:06] <godzirra> The 4x burn crashed during install.
[16:06] <saurabh> can i create a keyboard shortcut of the custome application launcher
[16:06] <patrickas> I just installed UBUNTU 8.10 server on a machine that had windowx XP on it, but when I restarted I did not get the GRUB menu, the PC booted into XP directly! While when it detected windows and asked where to install grub I just went with the default suggested option ( I don remember exactly what it was) ...
[16:06] <quibbler> kamyk: ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04?
[16:06] <patrickas> How do I go from there ?
[16:07] <kamyk> quibbler: 8.10
[16:07] <oo-dragon> can any one help me with mounting a JBOD partition from a DNS-323 (my NAS died, but drives are OK)
[16:07]  * hexmasta2 reads apachefriends Step 2
[16:07] <whacked> honestly i dont think i am asking a difficult question for a avid linux user, if i were to give a rating out of 10 i would say 1
[16:07] <patrickas> I suppose I should boot from the live CD and install GRUB manually, but how do I know where I should install it ?
[16:07] <hexmasta2> whacked: su

[16:08] <patrickas> speedmaster:
[16:08] <patrickas> yes it does
[16:08] <evilbug> can someone please tell me what the difference is between a desktop chip and a server chip (i.e. c2d quad vs. xeon)?
[16:08] <patrickas> I am now on the machine booted from the live CD
[16:08] <hexmasta2> whacked you just got feedback in #apachefriends
[16:08] <whacked> hexmaster so just type tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt at terminal i tried received errors
[16:09] <speedmaster> well go to a terminal and try cat /boot/grub/device.map then sudo fdisk then cat /boot/grub/menu.lst and reboot see if it helps
[16:09] <Pici> evilbug: That topic is not really on topic for Ubuntu Support, try asking in ##hardware
[16:09] <oo-dragon> evilbug:  I beilive the xeon's are slower :)  hehe at least when i ran Seti on one
[16:09] <boot_loop> Does anyone know of a website that explain Ubuntu's relationship with Debian, or can anyone explain it?
[16:09] <evilbug> Pici- i'm asking because i want to put a server rig together running ubuntu :P indirectly related question.
[16:10] <patrickas> cat: /boot/grub/device.map: No such file or directory
[16:10] <kanan> .net
[16:10] <patrickas> Probably cause I am on the live CD  .... i should find the /boot of the hard disk partition ?
[16:10] <godzirra> I've never had so many troubles installing ubuntu.
[16:10] <Pici> evilbug: Its still not the focus of this channel, ##hardware would be much better at answering it than us.
[16:10] <speedmaster> you may need to apt-get install grub
[16:10] <speedmaster> i dont know why though
[16:11] <christian____> sudo of my ubuntu dont works
[16:11] <christian____> somebody knows why ?
[16:11] <Pici> christian____: Do you get an error?
[16:11] <paradroid> Hi, for some reason since today I have no sound anymore on my Ubuntu 8.10 install. Hardware (on-board sound [NVidia CK804 - IEC958) is properly detected, all modules are there, pulseaudio running, ALSA doing fine and all applications "play" audiofiles without complaining - but the speakers don't produce anything. Booting Windows on the same machine produces sound.   Or my cd rom drive?
[16:11] <patrickas> I did :  cat /media/disk/boot/grub/device.map
[16:12] <patrickas> which is where the partition i installed ubuntu is mounted
[16:12] <kamyk> quibbler: and then what ?
[16:12] <patrickas> and got
[16:12] <speedmaster> paranoid: in your alsa mixer can you set your settings so it uses front setting on your device instead of center?:
[16:12] <patrickas> (hd0)	/dev/sda
[16:12] <patrickas> (hd1)	/dev/sdb
[16:12] <ScislaC> anyone happen to know why dd would not be willing to work with me? I want to backup a partition to an image file on an external drive and am trying "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1/sda.image" and it basically says the destination is not a directory.
[16:12] <quibbler> kamyk: go to: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/  and download the 8.04 deb and install it
[16:12] <kamyk> quibbler: ok
[16:13] <Pici> ScislaC: /dev/sdb1 is not a dierctory, its a device.
[16:13] <oskar-> ScislaC:  because /dev/sdb1 is not a directory
[16:13] <blackjak__> guys how do I remove completely a driver/module from ubuntu
[16:13] <speedmaster> patrickas: can you sudo grub at all?
[16:13] <quibbler> kamyk:  restart firefox and try again youtube
[16:13] <paradroid> speedmaster:  Could you specify that... sry for obviously being slow.
[16:13] <kg> Is it possible to configure compiz on ubunt vm with ws 6.5 3d acceleration enabled
[16:13] <patrickas> speedmaster : yes
[16:14] <kg> vmware Ws i mean
[16:14] <speedmaster> paradroid: if you type 'sudo grub' doesi t run the app grub?
[16:14] <patrickas> speedmaster: I get the GRUB prompt
[16:14] <ScislaC> Pici: so the question is, do I mount the destination and do it via /media/drive/backup.image?
[16:14] <speedmaster> patrickas: ok good, well grub is installed
[16:14] <blackjak__> guys how do I remove completely a driver/module from ubuntu
[16:14] <Pici> blackjak__: Use rmmod to remove a module one-time user.  Put the module name in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist so it wont probe at every boot.
[16:15] <speedmaster> patrickas: try sudo grub-install /dev/hda
[16:15] <Pici> ScislaC: mount -o loop /path/to/image.file
[16:15] <patrickas> speedmaster: I got the feeling it is installed in the wrong place
[16:15] <blackjak__> what about if I install a new one and it sah the same name like other module
[16:15] <patrickas> speedmaster: why /dev/hda ?
[16:15] <genii> Pici: modprobe -r is more useful than rmmod since it removes also any other sub-dependent modules, etc
[16:15] <speedmaster> patrickas: me too
[16:15] <Pici> genii: I see, thanks for the tip.
[16:16] <speedmaster> patrickas: because i am assuming yo uwant to put grub into the mbr of your first disk
[16:16] <genii> Pici: np
[16:16] <speedmaster> patrickas: ias i dont know where and how you've put ubuntu on your disks i'll assume locations
[16:16] <kamyk> quibbler:  when i want download deb is error on site 404

[16:16] <johnb> hello - quick question:  should we enable  medibuntu or xapian-index to fetch acrobat reader?
[16:16] <patrickas> speedmaster: Oh ok ... I suppose I do .... But i don't think I have an hda :-)

[16:17] <ScislaC> Pici: thanks! :)
[16:18] <speedmaster> patrickas: what does sudo grub-install say?
[16:18] <johnb> Fund: uname -a
[16:18] <quibbler> kamyk: right click on the install button and do save link as and run the deb so
[16:18] <speedmaster> it should set up mbr automatically
[16:18] <patrickas> let me check ... I assume you'll give me a warning before I runa  command that my mess up the machine ?
[16:18] <patrickas> I mean it'll give me
[16:19] <kamyk> quibbler: ok
[16:19] <speedmaster> patrickas: grub is just a bootloader
[16:19] <speedmaster> patrickas: worst case you can always fdisk /mbr
[16:19] <hexmasta2> fdisk /mbr ftw
[16:19] <speedmaster> =D
[16:19] <patrickas> ok :-)

[16:20] <frux> hi
[16:21] <Fund> what is the command to see the version and os of the ubbunto linux
[16:21] <patrickas> ok so i should try /dev/sda or /dev/sdb ? I think windows was on /dev/sdb if that matters ...
[16:21] <hexmasta2> Fund: have you tried googling it first?
[16:21] <speedmaster> Fund: uname -a
[16:21] <Pici> Fund: on a terminal, use lsb_release -a
[16:21] <paradroid> Fund:  Several answers have been given: uname -a or probably better lsb_release -a
[16:21] <Pici> speedmaster: That will only show the kernel, which doesn't necessarily reflect the Ubuntu version.
[16:21] <Fund> aha tnx
[16:21] <Fund> now I need the help
[16:22] <Fund> may some gimme the web for the things to I should paste it in the soruces.list

[16:24] <assargadon> is it possible to run GUI application from console (not xterm, but from "real" console, ctrl+alt+f1)? I need run GUI application via crontab really.
[16:24] <NFischer> freegoo, what u mean "secure"
[16:24] <NFischer> freegoo, you want to record it?
[16:24] <n8tuserf> freegoo -> i recommend you visit #iptables to pose such questions
[16:24] <patrickas> ActionParsnip1:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/120638/
[16:24] <freegoo> i see iptables can set up ipv4 connections . what what about ip v6 for example
[16:25] <nanotube> freegoo: you could try iptables
[16:25] <defcon1> can anyone help me with moblock?
[16:25] <quibbler> kamyk: then i don't understand ..if flash works on another site why not on youtube?  was this the same befire?
[16:25] <nanotube> freegoo: ip6tables
[16:25] <Iceman_B^unix> anyone know of a way to install the latest version of Ubuntu(8.10?) onto a machine that's only got a UTP cable connected to it? So no screen, keyb or mouse
[16:25] <kamyk> quibbler: yest
[16:25] <Iceman_B^unix> on this laptop I can boot into ubuntu or WinXP
[16:25] <freegoo> nanotube: thanks
[16:25] <Iceman_B^unix> oh, I also have a router in the network running DDwrt
[16:25] <nanotube> freegoo: np :)
[16:25] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | patrickas
[16:25] <blackjak__> is there another way to remove modules, not just blacklist them?
[16:26] <freegoo> nanotube: where do all thse rules get saved and parsed by ubuntu.
[16:26] <filippop78> cIAO A TUTTI
[16:26] <oskar-> blackjak__:  blacklisting is clean, where is the problem?
[16:26] <patrickas> speedmaster: this feels like throwing commands around till something stick! Is there a way to find out where I should install it instead of trying everything randomly ?
[16:26] <freegoo> nanotube: thanks for the addive
[16:26] <foreveryou> modprobe -r
[16:26] <quibbler> kamyk:  did it ever work with youtube?
[16:26] <blackjak__> there will be two modules with the same names
[16:27] <defcon1> does anybody have any experience with moblock?
[16:27] <kamyk> quibbler: no
[16:27] <sandGorgon> how do i clear out all the downloaded debs from the apt cache ?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip1> blackjak__: sudo rmmod <module name>
[16:27] <Abracadabra> Hi
[16:27] <freegoo> what part of ubuntu actualy manages them network connection???????????????????????
[16:27] <kamyk> quibbler: olways yt in my laptop is not working
[16:27] <patrickas> ActionParsnip1 I did not lose GRUB after insatlling windows
[16:27] <Abracadabra> how do you change the keyboard language from CLI ?
[16:27] <nanotube> freegoo: generally, you'd stick them into a shell script in /etc/init.d, and make sure it runs on startup.
[16:27] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: read the guide and it will help you install grub to the drive
[16:27] <patrickas> ok
[16:27] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: its not THAT specific, jeez :)
[16:28] <oskar-> sandGorgon:  all with removing them from /var/cache/apt/archives/, but there is also apt-get autoclean
[16:28] <quibbler> kamyk: is this ok: http://break.com/index/bird-learns-how-to-fish.html
[16:28] <freegoo> nanotube: thanks alot, great advice ::P
[16:28] <blackjak__> ActionParsnip1  : yes but on the next start the same module will be up
[16:28] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: its if the grub gets lost due to ANY OS writing to the boot sector
[16:28] <ActionParsnip1> blackjak__: then blacklist or uninstall the package it is part of
[16:28] <kamyk> quibbler: yes is working
[16:29] <oskar-> freegoo:  NetworkManager
[16:29] <ActionParsnip1> blackjak__: if you need one of the modules from a package you have to blacklist
[16:29] <quibbler> kamyk: we can try something else
[16:29] <nanotube> freegoo: np. have fun :)
[16:29] <ActionParsnip1> blackjak__: or you can use a startup script to run that command when you logon
[16:29] <patrickas> ActionParsnip1:  Yes I know ... I will read and follow it, I just objected because I assumed that the guide will help me reinstall grub in the same location it was originally installed in, which never worked in the first place.
[16:29] <nanotube> freegoo: there are also gui tools that help, if you are into that kind of stuff :) i think firestarter is reputed to be decent at it.
[16:30] <Iceman_B^unix> is there a command to scan the entire subnet and see what machines are present?
[16:30] <Iceman_B^unix> like am ARP ping or something
[16:30] <patrickas> But I am not going to be bone headed about it ... I will try it anyways , maybe it will work
[16:30] <kamyk> quibbler: ok
[16:30] <oskar-> Iceman_B^unix:  nmap
[16:30] <NFischer> Iceman_B^unix, nmap -sP 192.168.*.*
[16:31] <Iceman_B^unix> tnx NFischer, I'll give that a shot
[16:31] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: assume makes an ASS out of U and ME ;)
[16:31] <Iceman_B^unix> need to install nmap first I see
[16:31] <ActionParsnip1> god I'm old
[16:32] <quibbler> kamyk: do firefox out...open nautilus and make sure you can see hidden files and directories. go to ~/.mozilla/firefoz/(yourprofile).default/ and delete localstore.rdf
[16:32] <patrickas> ActionParsnip1: in the guide it says : grub> root (hdX,Y)  which is  (hd1,5) in my case
[16:32] <NFischer> Iceman_B^unix, the problem with this is, that the machines could theoretically block the ping request.. but for normal usage this should work
[16:32] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: disk numbers start at 0
[16:33] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: not 1
[16:33] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip1, thats from sidney sheldon :P
[16:33] <Iceman_B^unix> NFischer: n/p, I'll just see what I end up With
[16:33] <quibbler> kamyk: now open firefox and try youtube
[16:33] <oo-dragon> *jab* *jab*
[16:33] <patrickas> ActionParsnip1: THis time I did not assume anything :-) I ran find /boot/grub/stage1 and it gave me  (hd1,5)
[16:33] <kamyk> quibbler: this same ;/
[16:33] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: fair enough
[16:33] <patrickas> or am I so thick I cannot follow the guide :-(
[16:34] <kamyk> quibbler:  wheit
[16:34] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: no if thats what the guide says i'd agree
[16:34] <patrickas> but the next step says : grub> setup (hd0) and not hdX so my question is should I put hd0 regardless of the output of the previous command ?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip1> patrickas: try http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[16:35] <Iceman_B^unix> ah crud
[16:35] <evilbug> are there any issues with ubuntu x64 server along the lines of compatibility with certain apps the desktop version has?

[16:35] <quibbler> kamyk: in a terminal type firefox -safe-mode press continue in safe mode and try again\
[16:36] <Iceman_B^unix> alright
[16:36] <ActionParsnip1> Iceman_B^unix: you may need to remove some apps / old kernels to make some space
[16:36] <Iceman_B^unix> lets see
[16:36] <ActionParsnip1> right im off for my afternoon sleep
[16:36] <ActionParsnip1> peace out kids

[16:37] <Iceman_B^unix> i'll paste it to the bin
[16:37] <kamyk> quibbler: 1 file profiles.ini

[16:40] <Seveas> robertzaccour, I disagree, running it on quite a few dells here, all different types. All working fine :)

[16:43] <Seveas> Fund, same way as you broke it, but the other way around
[16:43] <NFischer> How do i start Xchat with default "show join/part message" switched off?!
[16:43] <stevemac76> I just installed 8.04 LTS and updated all packages.  Now, when I login at the login screen, it gives me an error, but lets me login.  Also, when I try to authenticate to make a change to the manual network configuration, the session locks up.
[16:43] <xiroV> Seveas, Thanks anyway
[16:44] <stevemac76> Help!?
[16:44] <kevin_405> Help Help with dual boot problems please

[16:44] <stevemac76> I'll check
[16:44] <Seveas> !it | Alexio86_
[16:46] <Iceman_B^unix> (04:39:26 PM) Seveas: Iceman_B^unix, ah you did that already. You seem to have a serious tmpfs addiction :) <-- well I'm running from a USB key, but I'm about done with that
[16:46] <Iceman_B^unix> so my nex question, is there a way to boot from a live cd and save the settings to a USB key or somethinbg ?
[16:46] <SuperGuy_9000> When I logged into Ubuntu, the top and panels don't show up. I can open programs fine with Gnome Do (which is how I got on here), but if I minimize the windows there's no way to get them back.
[16:46] <Yossarian> bump :/
[16:46] <whacked> how do i move a folder from my desktop to a folder called opt without receiving a message permission denied, my method of moving folder is copy & paste ?
[16:46] <Seveas> ice_cream, there is. search the wiki for persistent usb key
[16:46] <Seveas> Yossarian, stop bumping...
[16:47] <Yossarian> okay okay...
[16:47] <Iceman_B^unix> Seveas: alright
[16:47] <Seveas> SuperGuy_9000, start gnome-panel with gnome-do
[16:47] <Iceman_B^unix> thanks
[16:47] <SuperGuy_9000> OK
[16:47] <NFischer> whacked, where do you want to copy your folder to?
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> SuperGuy_9000 tab to get back to your app for the moment
[16:47] <whacked> folder called OPT
[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> SuperGuy_9000 alt- tab to get back to your app for the moment
[16:48] <Iceman_B^unix> oh final question, does anyone know if the alternat install cd starts an SSHD during the install phase?
[16:48] <Iceman_B^unix> if so, I could supervise the install remotely....
[16:48] <moofhahn> hoi
[16:48] <whacked> i stated the folder i wanted to copy to in my question ?
[16:48] <SuperGuy_9000> I just get the option to copy the text when I typed gnome-panel.
[16:48] <Seveas> Iceman_B^unix, by default it does not. I believe you can do anna-install openssh-server-udeb and run it then, but I'm not entirelt sure.
[16:49] <The_Rebel> has anyone got shadowing withing with freenx?
[16:49] <NFischer> whacked, "opt" is not a folder
[16:49] <stevemac76> I get no error number, but I noticed that no matter what password I enter, it instantly throws out that error message and then proceeds to authenticate
[16:49] <moofhahn> what is freenx?
[16:49] <Seveas> NFischer, it is, look in /. There's /opt :)
[16:49] <The_Rebel> use google moofhahn, i'm here for support.
[16:50] <moofhahn> me too. I dont get compiz installed
[16:50] <krishnan> hey is thr any irc for PHP developers?
[16:50] <moofhahn> ^
[16:50] <Seveas> The_Rebel, and an attitude like that makes it less likely to find that :)
[16:50] <oCean_> The_Rebel: this is not the nomachine nor freenx support channel.
[16:50] <Seveas> krishnan, #php perhaps?
[16:50] <whacked> ok i goto computer then file system and i see a folder called opt ?
[16:50] <NFischer> Seveas, yeah so just copy it with sudo?!
[16:51] <Seveas> NFischer, I missed the start of the discussion, so I don't know what you're trying to accomplish
[16:51] <whacked> there is fact a folder called "opt"
[16:51] <whacked> goto file system  and you will see a folder called opt
[16:52] <Gnutoo> hello, I'd like to get the list of all packages installed on an ubuntu computer but not their dependencies: for isntance I want ubuntu-desktop but nor firefox...how do I achieve that?

[16:52] <tuxflavrdwafls> what should i do?
[16:52] <whacked> ok help
[16:53] <whacked> who told me there is no folder called opt ?
[16:53] <Iceman_B^unix> Seveas: hm hm, well the tricky thing is that I dont have a screen hooked up to said pc....

[16:54] <Pici> !sudo > whacked

[16:55] <SuperGuy_9000> Thnaks Jack_Sparrow, it's working now :)
[16:55] <patrickas> How can I get it back ?
[16:56] <patrickas> the problem is after I installed ubuntu, and rebooted ... I could not see the grub menu ... so I followed this guide (with a small change) and now I cannot boot into windows anymore
[16:56] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, you do run the cd of windows and use fixmbr in repair mode...after that you need to reinstall grub
[16:56] <freegoo> is there a way and can save the current state of ubuntu (like hibernation) but shutdown my computer and boot my osx partition
[16:56] <freegoo> ???????????????????
[16:56] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, can you please paste the o/p of sudo fdisk -l and menu.lst
[16:57] <frux1> how can I prevent windows from locking ntfs drives when it breaks down ?
[16:57] <stevemac76> I just installed 8.04 LTS.  I updated all packages and now, when I login at I instantly get an error message.  The error message pops up before attempting to authenticate because regardless of what password I enter (wrong or not) the error comes up I click ok and then if the right password was entered it will authenticate and allow me to login.
[16:57] <Seveas> freegoo, hibernate does exactly that
[16:57] <freegoo> serveas: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thamnks i should have click it first v:P
[16:58] <Seveas> frux1, by not using windows. (read: there's no way windows will not lock drives when it sees inconsistencies)
[16:58] <stevemac76> Once I am into a GUI session, I try to authenticate to make a change to the manual network configuration and the session locks up
[16:58] <frux1> well
[16:58] <Seveas> stevemac76, what is the error you get?
[16:58] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: all of menu.lst or just the windows related section ?
[16:58] <stevemac76> It doesn't give an error number
[16:58] <frux1> seveas, thx anyway
[16:58] <Seveas> stevemac76, but it does give text
[16:58] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, just the end portion would do... from the ubuntu entries

[17:00] <Seveas> Fund, you need to upgrade, feisty is no longer supported
[17:00] <aata> can someone please tell me how to fix this! it sems as if i have 4 desktops http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00042ss8.jpg
[17:00] <Fund> Seveas man I have VPS
[17:00] <Seveas> whacked, rightclick on the menu
[17:00] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, a moment please
[17:00] <Fund> !sources
[17:01] <stevemac76> frux, fdisk -l to find out which /dev/??? your windows drive is  and then umount /dev/??? that drive
[17:01] <Seveas> Fund, good. Then you probably have root access and are able to upgrade :)
[17:02] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, SFS is samba file system?
[17:02] <Seveas> arvind_khadri, no, that's CIFS
[17:02] <aata> anyone at all?
[17:03] <stevemac76> frux, then create a directory to mount your win drive in (sudo mkdir /media/windows)  then issue sudo ntfs-3g /dev/<win drive> /media/windows -o force
[17:03] <arvind_khadri> Seveas, thanks.. :) whats SFS?
[17:03] <Seveas> arvind_khadri, it doesn
[17:03] <Seveas> 't ring a bell
[17:03] <patrickas> That's strange!
[17:03] <Seveas> maybe google knows :)
[17:03] <patrickas> I can't remember ....
[17:04] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, you dont need to use map.... what do you have on /dev/sda1 ...its 400 gb
[17:04] <aata> hellooooo
[17:04] <stevemac76> what's your issue aata?
[17:04] <kevin_405> Seveas, can u help with broken dual boot after upgrade
[17:04] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: before I installed ubuntu, it was just a regular hard disk in windows with data on it.
[17:05] <aata> stevemac76 when i turn on my computer i get something that looks like this http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00042ss8.jpg
[17:05] <patrickas> I always thought it was NTF formatted
[17:05] <whacked> wow i got xampp installed on my own
[17:05] <patrickas> I mean NTFS
[17:05] <whacked> without any help
[17:05] <Seveas> kevin_405, not right now
[17:05] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, fdisk -l tells something else... when you did setup (hdx) what did you use here?
[17:05] <Seveas> whacked, then now is the time to remove that. Ubuntu has its own lamp stack, which is actually maintained
[17:06] <Besogon> Do anybody know abrowser faster firefox or not? And which of Web-browsers is fastest?
[17:06] <stevemac76> aata, when you boot, try entering failsafe mode
[17:06] <whacked> huh
[17:06] <Seveas> Besogon, abrowser is firefox without the firefox logo. No seed difference. Fastest browser is lynx :)
[17:06] <stevemac76> aata then try adjusting your drivers
[17:06] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: first time i used hd0 then rebooted ... but it still botted straight into windows ...
[17:06] <whacked> your statement provides no insight
[17:06] <alanbshepard70> when I do a lshw or lspci no where can I find that I have scsi devices, I know my drives are IDE/ATA. Why are scsi drivers in use? Can I remove them from my kernel and use the ATA drivers? What am I missing?
[17:07] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: so I tried with hd1 and it booted into GRUB ... but windows stopped working
[17:07] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, remove the map lines... i dont think they are needed...
[17:07] <aata> stevemac76 how do i enter failsafe mode. and more importantly how do i adjust drivers
[17:07] <Besogon> Seveas, Do lynx work in command line?
[17:07] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: They were added by the installed ... I will comment them out and reboot
[17:07] <Seveas> Besogon, yes
[17:07] <arvind_khadri> Besogon, its for cli :P
[17:07] <kevin_405> Seveas, do u know if ubuntu upgrade saves old menu.lst
[17:07] <patrickas> or should I run grub again ?
[17:08] <patrickas> after I remove the map lines ?
[17:08] <stevemac76> aata when your restart, you get a very short time to enter the grub menu so be on the lookout.  I think it's f1 that gets you there.
[17:08] <Seveas> kevin_405, not sure. *if* it backs the file up, the backup also lives in /etc/apt
[17:08] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, just comment them out... install grub once again to be safe :)
[17:08] <stevemac76> aata after that you have a few options for booting.
[17:08] <aata> ok
[17:09] <aata> and then?
[17:09] <Besogon> nice. But what is really fine browser FOR X in Linux?
[17:09] <Seveas> Besogon, firefox is still the default browser. Apart from its sluggishness it's decent.
[17:09] <arvind_khadri> !poll | Besogon
[17:09] <kevin_405> Seveas, thx
[17:09] <stevemac76> aata after booting into failsafe you can change to vesa drivers
[17:09] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: so I remove the lines, then "sudo grub" then "root (hd1,5)" then "setup (hd1)" ?
[17:10] <aata> stevemac76 how do i change to vesa?
[17:10] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, ya ... sounds good..
[17:10] <knoppix> HELLO
[17:10] <stevemac76> aata I don't remember how to change via command line, but you should be able to google it
[17:10] <knoppix> ALOOO
[17:11] <Seveas> hello knoppix, please switch off your caps lock
[17:11] <stevemac76> aata I'm checking it now
[17:11] <aata> stevemac76 me too
[17:11] <knoppix> HELLO MICHA
[17:11] <patrickas> ok just a question so I understand what I am doing ... why hd1,5 ??? I mean that's the output of "find /boot/grub/stage1" but what is it supposed to be ?
[17:11] <aata> let me know if you find anything :D
[17:11] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I have a strange one here.  I connect a windows and a linux box up to some of these home ethernet plugs.  If I dont have linux plugged in I get a throughput speed across my network of around 54 -74mbps.  If I plug my linux machine back into the network then it goes down to around 10mbps
[17:11] <mikebeecham> can anyone think why?
[17:11] <bedmunds> join #linuxforums
[17:12] <stevemac76> aata http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=648770 check this one out
[17:12] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, its the disk where stage 1 lies :)
[17:12] <Geek`N`Proud> mikebeecham: maybe Linux is only using the 10mbps mode?
[17:12] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: is it possible that stage 1 is in the wrong place ?
[17:12] <patrickas> because that would explain why after I installed ubuntu and rebooted the PC, grub did not show up
[17:12] <Geek`N`Proud> remember some NICs blow on *nix
[17:12] <mikebeecham> Geek....how would I tell?
[17:12] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, nope.... not unless you have manually moved it
[17:13] <oo-dragon> well lets start with a simple question then.  can I mount JBOD disks from a DNS-323 network attached storage on my PC?
[17:13] <kronix> Does this channel dispense actual Ubuntu support?
[17:13] <Geek`N`Proud> kronix: yes it does, why?
[17:13] <kronix> ##ubuntu-uk is mostly people chatting about off-topic stuff.
[17:13] <patrickas> ok then .... let's do it ...
[17:13] <kronix> So I'm here now.
[17:13] <aata> stevemac76 thanks im trying it right now :D wish me luck
[17:13] <Geek`N`Proud> kronix: because the people in there are proud Brits? :P
[17:13] <amews-tech> Do you people receive this message ?
[17:13] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, atb :)
[17:13] <stevemac76> I just installed 8.04 LTS.  I updated all packages and now, when I login at I instantly get an error message.  The error message pops up before attempting to authenticate because regardless of what password I enter (wrong or not) the error comes up I click ok and then if the right password was entered it will authenticate and allow me to login.
[17:13] <arvind_khadri> amews-tech, ya
[17:13] <kronix> No, they're just lazy.
[17:13] <Guardian-Wolf> can anybody suggest a web cam that is ubuntu friendly?
[17:14] <mikebeecham> Geek'N'Proud...how would I tell whether I'm using 10mbps only?
[17:14] <stevemac76> The error has no reference number
[17:14] <guyiom> kronic : no we support 10 years old ubuntu releases!!
[17:14] <ortsvorsteher> !webcam
[17:14] <amews-tech> Nice it works. Just made a program that converts all irc communication to webrequest (can be used on blocked networks) :D
[17:14] <Geek`N`Proud> Guardian-Wolf: Logitech Quickcam i've heard, but the latest kernel even works on my crappy unbranded crap :P
[17:14] <cdavis> How do I change crontab to open with vim instead of vi?
[17:14] <arvind_khadri> amews-tech, cool :)
[17:14] <nickrud> cdavis, sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[17:14] <unop> cdavis, set up the EDITOR variable
[17:14] <knoppix> HELLO LOTIA
[17:14] <arvind_khadri> cdavis, alias vi to vim
[17:14] <cdavis> nickrud: Thanks
[17:14] <nickrud> arvind_khadri, ah that's evil
[17:14] <kronix> How many of you are sys/net admins?
[17:15] <Guardian-Wolf> hrm, ok, ty geek'n'proud
[17:15] <nickrud> kronix, everyone
[17:15] <unop> cdavis, vi on ubuntu is a symlink to vim anyway
[17:15] <kronix> That's good.

[17:15] <kronix> The UK channel seemed to be mainly home users.
[17:15] <Geek`N`Proud> just incase it hasn't already been done >.>
[17:15] <kronix> Which is probably why nobody answered my questions.
[17:15] <kronix> Hello, everyone.
[17:15] <nickrud> !ask | kronix
[17:15] <toddoon> can someone help me to understand more better ufw because i have load it and when i nmap my interface lo , nmap display some ports open
[17:15] <finiras> whats the command to upgrade my ubuntu install from 8.04 to 8.10
[17:15] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, :) who uses vi anyways ... its so clumsy
[17:15] <kronix> nickrud, I have no question.
[17:16] <archman> finiras: update manager
[17:16] <nickrud> toddoon, lo is only available to the local machine anyway, not visible to the net
[17:16] <Geek`N`Proud> kronix: Ubuntu is a home user distro in the main
[17:16] <kronix> Isn't it listed in the package manager.
[17:16] <unop> arvind_khadri, i do .. the 'clumsiness' doesn't bother me :)
[17:16] <kronix> Geek`N`Proud, I said that in that channel.
[17:16] <kronix> That was interpreted as trolling.
[17:16] <mikebeecham> Geek`N`Proud: how can I tell if I'm only using 10mbps mate?
[17:16] <cdavis> nickrud: vi actually opens vim, the problem is just with crontab. When I first edited cron with crontab I didn't have vim installed so I had to choose vi
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> unop,  :P :)
[17:16] <kronix> I said I'd rather run my web server on Fedora (which I do).
[17:16] <toddoon> nickrud: but how do i configure my firewall on lo?
[17:16] <nickrud> finiras, update-manager ; be sure to set the dropdown lower right corner to non lts releases
[17:16] <ortsvorsteher> !ot | kronix
[17:16] <Geek`N`Proud> mikebeecham: not sure.. for me the LEDs on my NIC flash different
[17:17] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: Worked like a Charm :-) Thanks.
[17:17] <mikebeecham> ok...thanks
[17:17] <mikebeecham> can anyone tell me how I check whether my Ubuntu box is running 10mbps or 100mbps?
[17:17] <whacked> someone suggested that i install lamp instead of xampp but i searched for lamp under add&remove programs and return no results
[17:17] <cdavis> The editor is vim but crontab still opens with vi instead of vim
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, so now on windows?? :)
[17:17] <unop> mikebeecham,  ethtool eth0
[17:17] <Hazuki> Does the LiveUSB creator work with the mini or net-install images of Ubuntu? I only have a 256MB USB key
[17:18] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: Hell no :-) I just made sure windows boots ... then restarted into ubuntu :-)
[17:18] <nickrud> toddoon, hm, this wrapper around cron is something new to me. Have to read up on it, sorry
[17:18] <Pici> whacked: The package name is not lamp, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for instructions on how to install it.
[17:18] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, cool :) congrats...glad you made it :)
[17:18] <cdavis> I get "Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vimrc:" when trying to use crontab because I have syntax turned on, but typing vi opens vim
[17:18] <Geek`N`Proud> kronix: that's a wise choice.. as the proactive security is better =]
[17:18] <unop> cdavis, vi is a symlink to vim..   readlink -f $(which vi)   /usr/bin/vim
[17:18] <mereo> I have to leave windows on my comp because of the games...
[17:18] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: So what's next? should I file a bug ? should I forget about it ? how do I prevent another soul from wasting an after noon like I did? Why did the installer mess up on this system ?
[17:18] <Geek`N`Proud> kronix: I meant to say Home Desktop distro :P
[17:19] <mikebeecham> ok...thanks unop.  I am running 100mbps...so can anyone think of why I can only get 10mbps throughput across my network, when my linux machine is plugged into the network?
[17:19] <cdavis> unop: I get /usr/bin/vim.basic
[17:19] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, too many questions :) the map thing isnt useful sometimes... what had happened ??
[17:19] <kronix> Yes, it is, Geek`N`Proud.
[17:19] <Chlorate> When I play videos on my desktop while I have compiz running, the videos flash black like the refresh rate is wrong. I set my refresh rate on compiz as 60hz, just like my graphics card drivers do. Any ideas?
[17:20] <unop> mikebeecham, what tool(s) are you using to measure throughput?  and what format does it use?  Mb/s or MB/s ?
[17:20] <aata> stevemac76 apparently after doing that, my computer is now running in low graphics mode (which is better than nothing but stiill pretty pathetic) adnd even after i select vesa in the low graphics mode driver selection, i get no luck
[17:20] <mikebeecham> unop: I have two devolo highspeed ethernet plugs...their own software 'informer' shows me
[17:20] <mikebeecham> and it shows in Mbps
[17:20] <archman> Guys anyone has that Update Manager window somewhat crippled? I only see half of the rows for program updates...
[17:20] <mikebeecham> at the moment it is on 10 Mbps
[17:20] <unop> cdavis,   EDITOR=vi  crontab -e
[17:20] <whacked> ok thanks Pici  honestly i think i will stick with xampp since i successfully installed it and it requuired a lot less steps to get installed
[17:21] <nickrud> lol sudo taskel lamp .
[17:21] <patrickas> I just installed ubuntu server 8.10 like I do every time ( slowly getting rid of windows mahcines at the office ) , at the end of the install I restarted but did not get the GRUB prompt.
[17:21] <guilhermeblanco> anyone can help me to consigure something with my SVN. I can't svn checkout an HTTPS repository
[17:22] <Dimensions> can some one please help me ... when i try to restart apache2 on my dedicated server i get errors  which says NameVirtualHost *:443 and with *:80 has no VirtualHosts
[17:22] <unop> mikebeecham, what is the topology of the link like?  are you using a switch, hub, straight-through?
[17:23] <arvind_khadri> !svn > guilhermeblanco
[17:23] <whacked> hey nickrod well the link that was posted here does not even mention the simple process you stated no idea why they show a long method
[17:23] <mikebeecham> unop: downstairs, router is plugged into one of these plugs, which goes into the electricity supply.  Upstairs, I have my linux machine and a windows machine plugged into a netgear 5 port switch which, inturn, is plugged into another one of these ethernet plugs in the wall
[17:23] <mikebeecham> does that help?
[17:23] <guilhermeblanco> arvind_khadri: I already have everything installed.... I'm able to checkout non-https repositories
[17:23] <guilhermeblanco> I have this issue:
[17:24] <guilhermeblanco> svn: OPTIONS of 'https://lp1.mihswat.com/svn/dna/trunk': SSL negotiation failed: Secure connection truncated (https://lp1.mihswat.com)
[17:24] <unop> mikebeecham, hmm, so this is ethernet over your powersupply??
[17:24] <whacked> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP no on this webpage does it mention just to type sudo taskel lamp
[17:24] <arvind_khadri> guilhermeblanco, check out #svn
[17:24] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: I see none of the disks on the machine have been auto mounted ! How can I get the right UUIDs to add the fstab ?
[17:24] <mikebeecham> yessir
[17:24] <guilhermeblanco> arvind_khadri: k, thanks
[17:24] <Chlorate> When I play videos on my desktop while I have compiz running, the videos flash black like the refresh rate is wrong. I set my refresh rate on compiz as 60hz, just like my graphics card drivers do. Any ideas?

[17:25] <unop> mikebeecham, well, that might be it .. as far as i have seen .. most "ethernet over power" devices don't reach 100Mbps
[17:25] <whacked> why is everyone discouraging the use of Xampp ?
[17:25] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, sorry its /dev/disk
[17:25] <patrickas> ~$ ls /dev/device/by-uuid
[17:25] <patrickas> ls: cannot access /dev/device/by-uuid: No such file or directory
[17:25] <nickrud> whacked, hm, the page doesn't include 8.10 in the short form. fixing. Thanks
[17:25] <patrickas> heheh oops
[17:25] <Chlorate> ezerhoden, To what and how?
[17:26] <cumulus007>  I'm trying to install kubuntu-desktop on uubntu jaunty, but the installation fails on kdelibs-data
[17:26] <Pici> cumulus007: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[17:26] <cumulus007> it says there is no space left on device, but there's 33 GB free!
[17:26] <mikebeecham> unop: nope, that is fine.  My issue is that historically I've used windows.  When using windows I get arouind 54 - 74mbps throughput....if I unplug the linux machine then I still hit that figure.  If I plug the linux machine into the 5 port switch then the throughput drops to 10mbps
[17:26] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, for a better understanding use blkid
[17:27] <unop> jurism, put script.sh in your ~/bin directory ??  or some other directory that is in $PATH
[17:27] <unop> patrickas, /dev/disk/by-uuid
[17:27] <jurism> Thank You!
[17:27] <ezerhoden> Chlorate: what app?
[17:28] <unop> mikebeecham, ok, so what exactly does  ethtool  report for your link/interface?
[17:28] <mikebeecham> 100mbps
[17:28] <unop> mikebeecham, I'm guessing that's for speed.  what about duplex?
[17:29] <mikebeecham> unop: full
[17:29] <whacked> i noticed
[17:29] <Chlorate> ezerhoden, For my drivers? btw my graphics card is ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
[17:29] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, or use ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[17:29] <patrickas> arvind_khadri:blkid gives me uuids thanks ... the ntfs ones look very different than the etx3 ones .. that's normal I guess ?
[17:29] <patrickas> unop thx got it
[17:29] <maDChoPR> what is the cli way to see what groups a user belongs to ?
[17:30] <ezerhoden> Chlorate: no, what application are you playing the videos with?
[17:30] <unop> mikebeecham, hmm, very odd, i'm not sure then .. perhaps ask in #networking or #cisco ?
[17:30] <unop> maDChoPR, groups  or  id
[17:30] <Chlorate> azerhoden, I have used Totem and vlc, they both do it.
[17:30] <mikebeecham> unop: are they linux-based rooms?
[17:31] <maDChoPR> unop: a user belongs to groups right?  i want to see for instance... what groups the user "andy" is in
[17:31] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, ya its because you installed windows i guess... its normal
[17:31] <unop> mikebeecham,  no .. but they might be able to give you some insight into why this happens.
[17:31] <unop> maDChoPR, groups andy
[17:31] <unop> maDChoPR, or.  id andy
[17:32] <ezerhoden> Chlorate: for totem use gstreamer-properties and change the video driver to x11 (no xv)
[17:32] <maDChoPR> unop: rad thanks, sorry i didn't understand what your original answer was, now i do.. i feel ignorant. thanks for the help.
[17:32] <archman> Guys, i updated to the latest backports version of kdelibs5, how can i rollback to the latest "official" update?

[17:34] <Fund> guys may I paste 3 lines errors here ?
[17:34] <arvind_khadri> Fund, ya...

[17:34] <archman> Maybe force version?
[17:34] <Chlorate> ezerhoden, Could you explain how in more detail? I'm not very good with ubuntu yet.
[17:34] <Fund> that is when I type.. sudo apt-get install build-essential
[17:35] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: Is there a tool to help with autodetecting fstab params or should I just RTF man page ?
[17:35] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, none that i know of...maybe google will :)
[17:35] <archman> Why does "Force Version" want me to erase some files?
[17:35] <Fund> arvind_khadri, why it shows :s
[17:36] <ezerhoden> Chlorate: launch a terminal, type gstreamer-properties, press enter. change the video plugin to X window system (no xv)
[17:36] <cdavis> Why do I get this error when typing crontab -e ---> "E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on"
[17:36] <arvind_khadri> Fund, no idea... maybe some libc6 package is down... try sudo apt-get install -f and then install build-essential

[17:43] <shifty5> can anyone get their idle ram usage below 350mb with compiz and gnome?
[17:43] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: By the way SFS mystery remains! fdisk -l tells me /dev/sda1 is SFS but blkid tells me /dev/sda1: UUID="762030B1203079E7" TYPE="ntfs"
[17:44] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, hmm... weird... i dont know much about it ...sorry...
[17:44] <mlissner> I have a question about upgrading software?
[17:44] <n2diy> For a files permissions, what does rws indicate? I understand rwx, but have never seen rws?
[17:44] <patrickas> arvind_khadri: no problem you already helped much  :-)
[17:44] <mlissner> if I want to upgrade past the version in the repos, is there any intelligent way to do that?
[17:44] <mlissner> I mean, so I don't have conflicts and problems down the road?
[17:44] <archman> NOone knows if i can rollback kdelibs to the official version???
[17:44] <shifty5> patrickas, have you checked fstab to see if its being mounted with the ntfs option
[17:44] <mfdavid> hi all. I want to host my own webpage. The apache is working fine, and right now im using no-ip.com to redirect to my server. But I would like to have my own .com webpage... But how can I make the server to connect to my computer? Im about to register a domain but it askes me for a DNS server. Can I be my own DNS server?!
[17:44] <arvind_khadri> patrickas, np... maybe google about SFS
[17:45] <whacked> you have to purchase a .com
[17:45] <mlissner> mfdavid, your best bet is to use somebody else as a DNS server.
[17:45] <n2diy> mlissner: yes, upgrade to an LTS version, and that will let you jump to the next LTS version.
[17:45] <unop> patrickas,  fdisk does not read the filesystem type .. all it does is list the partition type -- which are two different things .. in your case there is a discrepancy between the two (and that's not unusual)
[17:45] <mfdavid> mlissner: i dont think there is a easy way yo do so (roll back)
[17:45] <mlissner> hmmm...maybe I didn't explain quite right.
[17:45] <unop> n2diy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid
[17:46] <mlissner> The version in the repos is too old. I want a newer version of a certain piece of software.
[17:46] <n2diy> unop: thanks
[17:46] <mlissner> I have it installed via the repos already, so should I uninstall that, and then install from source?
[17:46] <mlissner> Or leave the one from the repos installed?
[17:46] <mfdavid> mlissner: or you could try and find a .deb on someother place.
[17:46] <mlissner> No dice.
[17:46] <archman> mlissner: sure uninstall it
[17:47] <mlissner> I'm just trying to figure out the standard practice so conflicts aren't an issue.
[17:47] <mfdavid> mlissner: yeah you will have to uninstall it, but you may get in trouble in future upgrades and stuff... why you want to do that?
[17:47] <theunixgeek> I followed all the community instructions for installing Google Earth, installed it and reinstalled it independently various times, but every time Google Earth 5 loads up its screen shows for a second or two, then quits. What should I do to fix this?
[17:47] <mlissner> the version in the repos doesn't work properly, and supposedly it's fixed in the latest source.
[17:48] <mfdavid> theunixgeek: are you running it from the console? if not, try it and see if it shows any errors.
[17:48] <shifty5> theunixgeek, did you try and run from console?
[17:48] <mlissner> theunixgeek, this is a known problem. I don't recall the solution, but check ubuntuforums.org I found it there right off the bat.
[17:48] <archman> mlissner: simply build from source, and when the newer version releases, you uninstall yours and build newer again ;)
[17:48] <theunixgeek> it says "unable to create prefs directory", shifty5 and mfdavid
[17:48] <theunixgeek> mlissner: I'll search there
[17:48] <mlissner> OK. I can do that. Generally, is it better to purge the one from repos, or to just uninstall it?
[17:49] <shifty5> theunixgeek try running as root and see if the error goes away
[17:49] <archman> mlissner: i'm not sure of that one, i'll go just uninstalling
[17:49] <whacked> can someone tell me which option enable the ability to use the middle wheel to switch desktops, i have installed compiz manager but for the life of me i cant seem to get it enabled ?
[17:49] <mlissner> Sounds good. I'll do that, I guess.
[17:49] <shifty5> whacked you have to enable the cube
[17:49] <shifty5> and then enable the animations
[17:49] <whacked> ok confusing this is
[17:50] <whacked> imagine enable cube to other features
[17:51] <whacked> still no sucess
[17:51] <shifty5> whacked are you sure your compiz is working?
[17:51] <theunixgeek> shifty5: still no
[17:51] <theunixgeek> *nothing
[17:51] <shifty5> theunixgeek, did the error change?
[17:51] <whacked> does not appear to be
[17:52] <shifty5> do you have 3d acceleration enabled?
[17:52] <whacked> even i checking off the options mentioned
[17:52] <whacked> oh right
[17:52] <whacked> opps
[17:52] <whacked> okk here comes 177\
[17:53] <tuxflavrdwafls> Hi again!  I have found that my crystal eye webcam works through ekiga.  It does not work in skype.  and cheese crashes my system when I open it.  any suggestions? thanks
[17:53] <whacked> i might get the  hang of linux yet
[17:53] <tuxflavrdwafls> btw, i am using 8.04
[17:53] <shifty5> tuxflavrdwafls, try running from a console and see if there are errors
[17:53] <whacked> i love the way firefox loads in 3 seconds
[17:54] <f_newton> excuse me... are they any cli tools I can use in init 3 to reconfig my display ?
[17:54] <shifty5> i hate the way it uses like 80mb of ram hehe
[17:54] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 i do not know the command
[17:54] <f_newton> I hear xorg.conf is no longer  the thing
[17:54] <unop> f_newton, you can still use the xorg.conf
[17:54] <shifty5> i he does xorg will just overwrite his settings when he configures in the gui
[17:55] <unop> f_newton, you could use xrandr(1)  but that requires a connected display
[17:55] <f_newton> well I cant get past the fact that new xorg has to be edited to make my display work yet I have no clue as to ubuntu's cli tools
[17:55] <unop> shifty5, that's not true .. you need root permissions to overwrite xorg.conf
[17:55] <f_newton> is xrandr what is used now?
[17:56] <mikebeecham> hi guys...how can I tell what drivers are being used for my network card?
[17:56] <mikebeecham> is there a terminal command I can use?
[17:56] <unop> f_newton, a GUI front end to xrandr seems to be what is used to configure the display -- but that's a per-user setting .. if you want to configure a global setting, you can still use the xorg.conf
[17:56] <whacked> the funnest thing i found so far when you goto terminal and type top my Pc show very low cpu usage, and then i go load system monitor it show high cpu usage, strange bug i guess
[17:56] <majeru> hello, is there a way to make suspend  occur when some programs are running? (synaptic or vlc are blocking suspend)
[17:56] <lupus_> whats the easiest way to install virtualbox? having way too much trouble.
[17:56] <Huufarted> mikebeecham:
[17:56] <Huufarted> mikebeecham: I'd like to know that as well
[17:56] <majeru> lupus_: use their repo
[17:56] <Huufarted> sorry for that blank sentence
[17:56] <f_newton> unop not unless I can get the gui to start
[17:56] <shifty5> whacked, from what i can tell the sysmonitor uses lots of resources
[17:57] <shifty5> even though it reads from tops
[17:57] <majeru> the one in multiverse is quite outdated (like many other packages)
[17:57] <f_newton> I need some cli tools to use in init 3
[17:57] <unop> lupus_, sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose
[17:57] <f_newton> not familiar with ubuntu only used deb back in the day
[17:57] <unop> f_newton, why can't you just create a xorg.conf ?
[17:57] <f_newton> write one from scratch?
[17:57] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 what did you want me to run in the terminal?  and what is the command?
[17:57] <theunixgeek> mlissner, mfdavid, shifty5: I got it working by deleting the libcrypto file :D
[17:57] <shifty5> tux, its prolly just "skype"
[17:57] <theunixgeek> thanks for your helps
[17:58] <theunixgeek> *help
[17:58] <unop> f_newton, well, that's one way .. there are others.  like  X -config  ( i think )
[17:58] <f_newton> ive tried the old unix tools such as "setup"  no worky
[17:58] <f_newton> is it x -config?
[17:58] <f_newton> or is it x --reconfig?
[17:58] <lupus_> unop- Ive tried that and still no dice
[17:58] <unop> f_newton,  xorg -configure
[17:58] <mlissner> theunixgeek, that sounds about right.
[17:58] <signpost> can anyone direct me to a mail transfer agent set-up tutorial for 8.10?  I'm trying to set up email notifications from Nagios 3, which uses the "mail" command to send mail.
[17:59] <shifty5> hey f_newton, if you read the xorg.conf it will tell yo uthe command to set it back to defaults and x should start
[17:59] <f_newton> I wish there was a place I could visit that would let me peruse the cli comands for ubuntu
[17:59] <f_newton> shifty5, not with my ati card and this old lcd
[17:59] <f_newton> out of range or mode not supported
[17:59] <shifty5> ahh
[17:59] <f_newton> I need to manually edit the darn thing
[17:59] <unop> f_newton,  have you edited it before?
[18:00] <shifty5> so you go into, etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:00] <f_newton> but could not figure out for the life of me how to get in to it with ubuntu
[18:00] <f_newton> unop if this was redhat no problem
[18:00] <shifty5> then you edit the vertical and horizontal timing
[18:00] <f_newton> right
[18:00] <cosmosy> is the xfce version in #xubuntu or #xuntu
[18:00] <unop> f_newton,  you could just move the xorg.conf out of the way and let xorg choose the defaults
[18:00] <f_newton> ok I am writing this down...
[18:01] <Yossarian> i'm trying to enable wireless channels 12 and 13 on laptop with intel 3495ABG using intrepid.
[18:01] <shifty5> fnewton, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:01] <Yossarian> any ideas, anyone?
[18:01] <Mr_X> cosmosy:xubuntu
[18:01] <f_newton> well apparently the monitor is no longer supported with the new xorg
 it installed but what do I do next?
[18:01] <f_newton> its a problem in every distro so far but with rh and fedora I can use the rh admin tools in cli
[18:01] <unop> lupus_, start it?  type  VirtualBox   in a terminal or something?
[18:01] <f_newton> I am just ignorant of ubuntu
[18:01] <mikebeecham> guys..is this right...I just checked my network information, and it tells me that I'm getting 100mb/s
[18:02] <mikebeecham> surely that should be 100mbps?
[18:02] <lvlefisto> Is it possible to gksudo to an ordinary user?
 this is what I get: Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall.
[18:02] <freegoo> i just dwnload testdisk, but i can not seem to run or install it.. what should i excute there is no .sh or config gile
[18:02] <freegoo> file
[18:03] <Mr_X> hello how can i manualy edit the xfce menu?
[18:03] <wims> !vbox > wims
[18:03] <f_newton> unop, and shifty5 thanks.  I will give that a shot and let ya know how it turned out
[18:03] <godzirra> Are SQUASHFS error's problems with my hard drive?  Or my cd rom drive?  Or my CD?
[18:04] <unop> lupus_, hmm.  that's odd.
[18:04] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 when I opened skype through the terminal. and then tried to test the video, it crashed my system.
[18:04] <shifty5> tux, did you watch the console and look for error messages?
[18:04] <tuxflavrdwafls> yes, nothing happened
[18:05] <shifty5> tux, try "sudo skype" that will run it as root and see if it crashes
[18:05] <shifty5> only do that for testing
[18:05] <tuxflavrdwafls> it opens it fine, now ill test video
 Ive used virtualbox in the past and it worked fine but now...
[18:07] <shifty5> lupus, would wine work instead?
[18:07] <thiago_> * clarke.freenode.net coloca o modo +s #slackware-pancadaria-br
[18:07] <shifty5> or are you trying to install another os
[18:07] <el_ninoo> hello. is there anyone else that got problems installing amarok? i get alot of failure when trying to install it trough add/remove option
[18:07] <lupus_> wine? never used that before
[18:07] <shifty5> lupus, are you trying to run a windows app?
[18:08] <erUSUL> godzirra: seems like corrupted cd? have you checked it?
[18:08] <shifty5> tux, no dice?
[18:08] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 it still crashed, no error message though
[18:08] <shifty5> tux, ive never used skype so thats all i can do for ya
[18:08] <dfox_> Anyone here at SCALE? in LA?
[18:08] <erUSUL> freegoo: install testdisk from the repositories
[18:08] <erUSUL> !info testdisk | freegoo
 im just trying to get virtual box to work. I know how to virtualize but its been awhile
[18:09] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 im not actually trying to use skype, just trying to get the webcam workin i guess.  thanks for the help
[18:09] <erUSUL> el_ninoo: what errors?
[18:10] <el_ninoo> erUSUL it cant connect to the server i think. i have also tried the sudo apt-get install amarok
[18:10] <shifty5> tux, you have to make sure the device was detected and the module was loaded
[18:10] <godzirra> erUSUL: How do I check it? I've md5summed the downloaded iso and its good.
[18:11] <shifty5> el_ninoo, have you tried in the synaptic package manager?
[18:11] <erUSUL> godzirra: there is an option to check the burned disk when you boot into it
[18:11] <el_ninoo> shifty5 yes
[18:11] <shifty5> did it list the dependencies and isntall them?
[18:11] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 i believe it is dev0 and the uvc mod is loaded.  i read something about vl42 .  i think that is what works for me and vlc does not?
[18:11] <erUSUL> el_ninoo: maybe youre mirrors are down. change mirrors or wait
[18:11] <erUSUL> el_ninoo: you can change them in System>Admin>Software Sources
[18:12] <el_ninoo> erUSUL ok, ill try, thank you
[18:12] <shifty5> tux, type "lsusb"
[18:12] <godzirra> erUSUL: thanks.  I'll try that if this one doesn't work.
[18:12] <godzirra> And its looking like its frozen... yet again.
[18:12]  * godzirra sighs.
[18:12] <godzirra> I've never had so much trouble installing ubuntu on a laptop.
[18:13] <cbilljones> Hey, can anyone help me troubleshoot why my mic is not working?

[18:13] <godzirra> okay, so not frozen.. just slow.  Weird.
[18:13] <shifty5> tux, is one of those devices the camera?
[18:13] <recon69> cbilljones: have you checked the level in mixer?
[18:14] <unop> lupus_, try.  sudo aptitude install sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`
[18:14] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 i dont know?
[18:14] <cbilljones> recon69: yes, its all the way up, not muted
[18:14] <godzirra> erUSUL: Adding a user failed with exit code 141.
[18:14] <unop> lupus_, if that still doesn't work.    sudo aptitude reinstall virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`
[18:15] <erUSUL> godzirra: sorry... never seen that error... :|
[18:15] <godzirra> Yeah, I've  gotten them a lot
[18:15] <godzirra> I don't know what the hell is going on, but its killing me
[18:15] <recon69> cbilljones: is a laptop mic, built in ?
[18:15] <godzirra> I've been trying to get ubuntu installed on my laptop for  2 days now.
[18:15] <unop> lupus_,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[18:15] <cbilljones> recon69: desktop, creative x-fi sound card
[18:16] <nibblyn> Hi. Since there is nothing configured in xorg.conf... how do I change the LOGIN screen resolution?
[18:16] <godzirra> erUSUL: Yeah, it crashed saying "SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block <something>"
[18:17] <shifty5> tux, google your webcam and see if thats the device
[18:17] <recon69> cbilljones: you should have a look at preferences in volume control , cause it dont show you them all by default. I take it sound is working?
[18:17] <erUSUL> godzirra: well as i said squashfs errors may be due to a corrupt cd-r or bad burned disk
[18:17] <unop> nibblyn, you'll need to populate the xorg.conf
[18:17] <cbilljones> recon69, ya everything else works, i have already added the stuff i need from pref(mic, mic boost)
[18:18] <godzirra> erUSUL: but not a hard drive problem?
[18:19] <erUSUL> godzirra: no; the squhashfs is used and lives in the livecd
[18:19] <recon69> god, my system just gone unstable as hell in the last week.
[18:19] <nibblyn> unop: thinking about that. thanks. so populate the xorg.conf seems to be the only method to change the resolution.
[18:19] <n2diy> Ok, a catch-22, I want to install root kit protection, but, I have to exspose my self to the internet to get it? Is there a secure way of getting chrootkit onto the box without going on the internet?
[18:19] <null__> how can i stop ubuntu from popping up a UI when media is inserted ?
[18:19] <godzirra> well that sgood at least
[18:19] <godzirra> but I burned this iso at 1x
[18:19] <godzirra> i dunno what the hell else I can do to fix it.
 it reinstalls and I get  "No suitable module for running kernel found"
[18:20] <whacked> get this i have successful used the nvidia 177 driver in the past on ubuntu 8.10 i have recently formatted and now just reinstalled nividia 177 driver but if fails to load  ?
[18:20] <unop> nibblyn, apparently, yes ..   you could do this to create a template you can then improve on.   Xorg -configure
[18:20] <whacked> what gives
[18:20] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 i googled "suyin corp. ubuntu" and there is alot of stuff about webcams.  also I just tried to open xsane image scanner, and it crashed with this error "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0':invalid argument.
[18:20] <bakerj> how bloated is xubuntu when i install it from the CD?
[18:20] <unop> lupus_, that's probably normal .. still not working?
[18:21] <whacked> and i have no new hardward
[18:21] <recon69> have had 3 kernel panics, one lost desktop, programs not starting, terminal windows crashing, and thats just today
[18:21] <godzirra> erUSUL: I'm checking the cd for defects now.  About how long does that normally take?
[18:22] <erUSUL> godzirra: depends mainly on the cd drive speed i guess it has to read the 700MB and do the sum
[18:22] <godzirra> And if thats good, what else could be going wrong?
[18:22] <godzirra> (I'm checking now)
 then I type "virtualbox" in the terminal and it says "Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall."
[18:22] <nibblyn> unop: many thanks... configuring now
[18:22] <godzirra> I guess I could have gotten a pack of bad cds?
[18:22] <godzirra> I've burned it like 6 times now.
[18:23] <recon69> cbilljones: have a look at lshw and see what sound hardware is recognised
[18:23] <unop> lupus_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5248735
[18:24] <cbilljones> recon69, ok, sec
[18:24] <f_newton> well I had to boot up in the generic kernel to get it to work.  This time I got a floating box claiming the screen resolution was not optimal and that was it
[18:24] <f_newton>  Ive still not discovered  how to revert to init 3
[18:25] <cbilljones> recon69, should i run lshw as sudo or regular?
[18:25] <recon69> cbilljones: sudo probably best
[18:26] <mlissner> Does anybody have any knowledge about installing software from source?
[18:26] <mlissner> I'm trying to install the latest version of tracker, but I can't quite get it configured the way I want.
 thanks Im going to try it
[18:26] <godzirra> erUSUL: No errors found.
[18:26] <godzirra> It just finished.
[18:26] <recon69> mlissner: read the install instructions in the source file you downloaded is a good first step
[18:27] <aaaaa> hello
[18:27] <celsojunior> tem alguem ai do brasil?
[18:27] <mlissner> When I run ./configure, it goes well, but in the end it says "Support PDF: no"
[18:27] <mlissner> I read the README, and all the other docs I can find, but this didn't appear anywhere.
[18:27] <oxeimo1> what's the easiest way to upload an image for free?
[18:27] <recon69> mlissner: well, install a pdf viewer and try again :)
[18:27] <oxeimo1> (and have it stay around for maybe a few days)
[18:28] <celsojunior> se tever algem do brasil me diga
[18:28] <galahad> I have created some svg files with inkscape with embedded images. Unfortunatelly these images are rather large in size resulting in a big file size that becomes even bigger when I export them to pdf. Is there a way to automatically shrink the size of the images? Thanks.
[18:28] <recon69> mlissner: you may need source packages for the viewer as well. but not sure if it's required
[18:29] <godzirra> erUSUL: Any other ideas?
[18:29] <cbilljones> recon69, i see my card on pci3, but doesnt say anything about mic
[18:29] <mlissner> The install is for tracker, so it's about indexing pdf, not viewing.
[18:29] <mlissner> I'm trying to compile in the ability to index them, and pictures, and a few other things.
[18:29] <recon69> mlissner: also, the program may not need a PDF viewer to work, does configure actually give an error
[18:30] <vasyl> has the windows title bar bug in ubuntu 8.10 was corrected? (the one that made the title bars grey or dissapear if u use compiz with certain nvidia cards)?
[18:30] <whacked> ok i just decided mo more will i use ubuntu until developers make a more staple system
[18:30] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 are you still with me ?
[18:30] <shifty5> tux sorry
[18:30] <joneblade> #ubuntu -ru
[18:30] <cbilljones> vasyl, seems to have i,proved for me, still alittle buggy though
[18:30] <shifty5> you should just google your specific webcam
[18:30] <arvind_khadri> whacked, thanks.
[18:30] <DIFH-iceroot> can i get the screen of a running ubuntu (no vnc installed) just with ssh? ssh -X host did not work
[18:30] <mlissner> recon69 - it's not about a viewer, it's about pdf extraction.
[18:31] <vasyl> cbilljones: what do u mean by improved eactly?
[18:31] <recon69> cbilljones: well, next how are you testing it? should use sound recorder
[18:31] <n2diy> ifconfig doesn't list the ip address of my eth0 card? It is a virgin install, and the box hasn't been connected to a network yet.
[18:31] <tuxflavrdwafls> shifty5 the "crystal eye".  what am I looking for?
[18:31] <shifty5> just a sec
[18:31] <cbilljones> vasyl, they dont seem to dissapear anymore, though sometimes theres discoloration
[18:31] <joneblade> #ubuntu-ru
[18:31] <cbilljones> recon69: ya im using sound recorder
[18:32] <recon69> n2diy: not having an IP address would be normal if you not connected to a network
[18:32] <shifty5> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=715366
[18:32] <shifty5> that came up from "crystal eye" +ubuntu
[18:32] <shifty5> in google..
[18:32] <whacked> i have used nvidia 177 drivers in past, i just formatted drive reinstalled nivdia drivers and they do not work, nothing has changed about my hardware on pc , this is frustrating
[18:33] <Coded1> I would like to set up user monitoring on my box to keep an eye on my kids, screen shots and keylogger does anyone have a recommendation?
[18:33] <vasyl> cbilljones: that bug is the only thing preventing me from upgrading to 8.10 ... I wonder if I should wait more or its not as bad as them disapearing, do you mean they decome darker like when out of focus?
[18:33] <recon69> cbilljones: well, have never had problems with mic myself, so can only suggest you check forum for you sound card for more info, and keep asking here
[18:33] <whacked> why is everything i do on ubuntu take a year to solve issues
[18:33] <shifty5> whacked, did you go to "hardware drivers" and install the restricted?
[18:33] <f_newton> hmmm I guess gone are the days when I can fix an install by the cli or init 3, if you'd rather....  in a debian environment
[18:33] <whacked> did you even read what i typed
[18:34] <shifty5> yes but i was asking where you installed from
[18:34] <f_newton> I was able to fix it at least for now but booting in to a generic recovery kernel and hand writing a config
[18:34] <shifty5> you could have used the package manager, or console
[18:34] <cbilljones> recon69, ok ill keep playing/searching
[18:34] <whacked> from lanching hardware driver and installing the suggested driver just like a did last time
[18:35] <shifty5> does it say its enabled?
[18:35] <whacked> no
[18:35] <TruthTaco> i need help trying to get some flash installed in opera besides adobe 9
[18:35] <whacked> because it will not let me enable
[18:35] <whacked> why are talking smack
[18:35] <cbilljones> vasyl: its definently improving, i would do a test install, but i have lots of harddrives, lol
[18:35] <aerofly> Hello everyone
[18:36] <f_newton> shifty5, unop  again thanks for your help.  with it I was able to get this install bootable
[18:36] <Orgazmo> anyone have a min to help a nub with some kind of permissions problem?
[18:36] <vasyl> cbilljones: got about 40x 90 gig satas lying around ;) will definatly check it out if u say its improving
[18:36] <shifty5> f_newton, no problem
[18:36] <f_newton> vasyl, send a few my way
[18:36] <unop> f_newton, np
[18:37] <cbilljones> vasyl, ya give it a shot then, however maybe its best to wait for 9.04 - as its out soon
[18:37] <f_newton> Im still afraid to reboot lol
[18:37] <whacked> i have nvidia driver working before driver version 177, i just formatted PC and reinstalled the 177 driver the exact same way i did last time, but know they will not function
[18:37] <shifty5> whacked, the only time that didn't work for me is when it couldn't get to the repositories
[18:37] <deasy> could anyone tell me the permissions of their ~/.dbus directory please?
[18:37] <whacked> it downloaded and installed but fails to load
[18:37] <shifty5> did you try from console?
[18:38] <shifty5> i don't know what the command is though if anyone does..
[18:38] <shifty5> i have ati
[18:38] <fosco__> deasy, drwx------
[18:38] <deasy> thanks fosco__
[18:38] <whacked> no from the system/administration/hardware driver, then unbuntu searched for best driver
[18:39] <whacked> same way i did it last time before formatting pc
[18:39] <whacked> and before it workd
[18:39] <shifty5> whacked, if you try to run from console it should show an error message
[18:39] <Orgazmo> deasy: d700
[18:39] <ZummiG777> Question: There is no /etc/modules.d in Ubuntu, is there a specific way in Ubuntu to achieve the same functionality ?
[18:39] <deasy> fosco__, and inside that (ls -l .dbus) are they all 644?
[18:40] <whacked> only thing i did different this time was install compiz manager first
[18:40] <fosco__> deasy, inside: drwx------
[18:40] <fosco__> same
[18:40] <Pici> ZummiG777: Theres /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/
[18:40] <whacked> maybe cmpiz is corrupting the installing of nvidia 177 driver
[18:40] <shifty5> whacked did you try disabling compiz?
[18:40] <whacked> i really dont know
[18:40] <whacked> how too
[18:40] <recon69> ZummiG777: you can also blacklist modules
[18:40] <whacked> ok uninstalling
[18:40] <whacked> this only a guess
[18:41] <deasy> fosco__, wrx the session-bus one then the files all 644?
[18:41] <whacked> gees dont just go with my hunch as a solution now ok
[18:41] <fosco__> whacked, metacity --replace will disable compiz for the current session
[18:41] <shifty5> it could be using the ati free drivers and erroring the restricted install
[18:41] <shifty5> err, nvidia
[18:41] <shifty5> sorry
[18:41] <ZummiG777> Pici: So, if I simply put a file in modprobe.d with the list of modules I would like loaded it would correctly load at boot time?
[18:43] <Pici> ZummiG777: Just modify /etc/modules if you need to specify more modules to load at boot.
[18:43] <whacked> i am installing compiz
[18:43] <whacked> uninstalling i meant
[18:43] <ZummiG777> OK
[18:43] <godzirra> erUSUL: Checking the disk found no errors.  Any other suggestions or anything else you can think of to try?

[18:45] <_VIM_> IdleOne:yeah it just seemed lagged or something usually after like 3 lines FloodBot bans for a few seconds
[18:45] <IdleOne> Mr_Mackee, if your system is up to date then you have the latest version of amarok the is in the repos

[18:47] <Clinteger> How can I make Ubuntu connect automatically to a wireless network on startup, without me having to login and stuff? I mostly use this laptop to run things remotely from command line :(
[18:47] <omerg> i need help whit my ubuntu
[18:47] <Clinteger> omerg, then ask a question.
[18:47] <deasy> fosco - you use hplip?
[18:47] <IdleOne> omerg, more then you realise I'm sure. what is the issue?
[18:48] <Clinteger> ...now he's not going to ask a question or state the problem?
[18:48] <IdleOne> he left
[18:48] <WiLa> ubuntu 8.10 does not recognise my built-in cam, any ideas?
[18:48] <godzirra> Anyone have any ideas?  Ubuntu refuses to install.  The GUI dies with SQUASHFS errors.   Checking the disk found no errors.  Any other suggestions or anything else anyone can think of to try?
[18:49] <Mr_Mackee> the amarok site says 2.1 is the newest version, while i'm running 1.4
[18:49] <billybigrigger> Mr_Mackee, software in the ubuntu repositories might not always be up to date
[18:49] <IdleOne> Mr_Mackee, the site is correct but the Ubuntu repos might not have that version yet. does the site have a .deb file?
[18:49] <Mr_Mackee> not that i can find
[18:50] <omergty> hi
[18:50] <IdleOne> Mr_Mackee, you can try compiling it yourself but I wouldn't suggest it. newest is not always greatest
[18:50] <omergty> somebuddy cam help me whit my ubuntu ? i need to run apache server

[18:51] <CaptWho> I'm working with a company that im trying to convince to start using linux for desktops and servers.  Probably their primary need is  for some sort of networkable contact management and phone dialing solution.  Something client based that can contact a server would be ideal and if it was able to do predictive dialing, their needs would be met
[18:52] <josephnexus> hello everyone!
[18:52] <IdleOne> hello josephnexus
[18:52] <josephnexus> i'm wondering if anyone has any good ideas for locking down an ubuntu machine to automatically log in, fire up a web browser, and then only allow access to one web domain
[18:52] <josephnexus> any ideas?
[18:52] <josephnexus> i know it is possible
[18:53] <josephnexus> and I read an article a while ago on how to do it
[18:53] <josephnexus> but I'm having trouble finding the article again
[18:53] <IdleOne> !lamp > josephnexus check this out there might be some info or links to what you are looking for. it's the help page to install but has other links also
[18:54] <toader> Hi, how to start to Console?
[18:54] <toader> Hi, no gui
[18:54] <dudus> josephnexus: you can easily auto login on gdm manager
[18:54] <josephnexus> IdleOne... I don't think that is my issue
[18:54] <dudus> josephnexus: then take a look at pessalus to lock everything else up
[18:54] <fosco__> toader, go to system - admin - services and dissable gdm service
[18:54] <godzirra> Anyone have any ideas?  Ubuntu refuses to install.  The GUI dies with SQUASHFS errors.   Checking the disk found no errors.  Any other suggestions or anything else anyone can think of to try?
[18:54] <josephnexus> ok
[18:54] <josephnexus> pessalus... is that pretty easy to use?
[18:55] <IdleOne> josephnexus, I know but there are other links to info that might be useful to you on tha page
[18:55] <dudus> josephnexus: about the domain you should setup iptables to only allow one domain out
[18:55] <toader> fosco__: but i just want to turn all the service and run the program
[18:55] <tavish> problem solved
[18:55] <shifty5> godzirra, ive seen a bad cdrom crash an install
[18:55] <toader> fosco__: after that, i still need gnome GUI
[18:55] <fosco__> toader, sorry, i don't understand
[18:56] <tuxflavrdwafls> how do i display a list of what i installed, i need to see the last 5 things
[18:56] <dudus> josephnexus: http://www.linux.com/feature/62060
[18:56] <godzirra> shifty5: I verified the CD.
[18:56] <recon69> godzirra: can you boot from CD?
[18:56] <godzirra> Or do you mean a CD Rom drive?
[18:56] <fosco__> toader, to start GUI once gdm is dissabled just run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[18:56] <shifty5> godzirra the cd drive
[18:56] <godzirra> recon69: I boot from cd just fine.
[18:56] <shifty5> ya
[18:56] <godzirra> recon69: would a bad cd verify the cdrom correctly.
[18:56] <godzirra> ?
[18:56] <godzirra> err.  Would a bad cdrom drive verify the cd correctly?
[18:56] <josephnexus> dudus... looks like that is what I needed
[18:57] <shifty5> godzirra, the livecd loads?
[18:57] <godzirra> It loads with no trouble at all.
[18:57] <recon69> godzirra: so it crashes during the install?
[18:57] <godzirra> Yes.
[18:57] <godzirra> Everytime, with SQUASHFS errors.
[18:57] <shifty5> and then you start the install..
[18:57] <godzirra> And I've installed osx86 without trouble from the cdrom, as well as doing many other things via the cdrom.
[18:57] <tuxflavrdwafls> is there a console command that will display everything i have used sudo apt-get to download/install
[18:57] <godzirra> I'm not asying it definitely isn't the cdrom.... just haven't had  trouble with anything but ubuntu.
[18:58] <dudus> tuxflavrdwafls: dpkg -l shows the installed packages... but not by install date
[18:58] <oCean_> tuxflavrdwafls: I'm not aware of such command, but you could check the /var/log/apt/term.log logfile
[18:58] <Crungmungus> hi, I'm trying to resolve the netbios name of a machine on my network from my ubuntu box ... but it won't resolve. Got samba installed on the ubuntu box and winbind .... any ideas?
[18:58] <shifty5> that happened to a freind of mine, he had no idea the rom was fucked and found out installing ubuntu
[18:58] <Huufarted> aircrack question.  Once I have my drivers patched for packet injection, anybody know if the wireless will still work normally when connecting to my primary wifi connection?
[18:58] <tuxflavrdwafls> dudus ocean_  thanks
[18:58] <shifty5> he changed it and it worked
[18:59] <nanotube> godzirra: well... if all else fails, you could try the alternate install cd and see if that makes any difference
[18:59] <recon69> godzirra: suggest a scan of you hdd
[18:59] <IdleOne> shifty5, it was broken, the drive that is right?
[18:59] <shifty5> idleone, yes
[18:59] <shifty5> idleone, it worked fine otherwise
[18:59] <IdleOne> shifty5, ah ok I couldn't tell by the language used :)
[18:59] <shifty5> would not install ubuntu
[19:00] <Huufarted> Will aircrack-ng patched drivers affect the normal functioning of a wireless card?
[19:00] <godzirra> nanotube: I'm burning it now.
[19:00] <godzirra> recon69: But a SQUASHFS error is definitely cd someone said?  Not hard drive?  And what can I scan my hard drive with?
[19:00] <shifty5> idleone, my bad
[19:00] <shifty5> hehe
[19:00] <jcase> are there any remote desktop apps for ubuntu? i want to try any access my ubuntu desktop from the road, my work notebook has XP on it (required to for now)
[19:00] <nanotube> godzirra: good luck :)
[19:00] <IdleOne> shifty5, np . you seem like a knowladgable person would hate to see you get banned over poor choice of words is all
[19:01] <shifty5> godzirra, we also tried the alternate cd with no luck, changed the rom and it worked
[19:01] <nanotube> jcase: there are a few vnc apps out there...
[19:01] <dudus> jcase: it comes with vinagre pre-installed
[19:01] <jcase> nano is there one  that you would recommend?
[19:01] <KDB9000> how do I get the partition sizes of my hard drives in server (ie. no GUI, terminal only)?
[19:01] <jcase> dudus: does it work good?
[19:01] <IdleOne> godzirra, will take you 5 minutes to swap out the drive. give it a try if you have a spare one
[19:01] <jericozorn> part/
[19:02] <nanotube> jcase: there's one that comes with ubuntu by default, you can find it under system -> preferences -> remote desktop
[19:02] <dudus> jcase: yeah
[19:02] <jcase> dudus, it has a windows based client?
[19:02] <recon69> godzirra: are you partitioning the drive manualy?
[19:03] <fahadsadah> I've been reading the Windows source code, and the Linux kernel source. Windows' one has a lot more swearing and cursing in the comments.
[19:03] <tuxflavrdwafls> is there a command to downgrade a video driver, to the previous one?
[19:03] <IdleOne> fahadsadah, can you blame them lol
[19:03] <shifty5> haha
[19:03] <fahadsadah> IdleOne: True.
[19:04] <nanotube> jcase: you could also try freenx, or tightvnc or ultravnc or realvnc. not sure if the one that comes with ubuntu also has a win client, though. google it. if it does, then that would be easiest.
[19:04] <jcase> thanks
[19:04] <fahadsadah> jcase: I thought the one that comes with Ubuntu IS VNC?
[19:05] <jcase> fahadsadah, i have no clue about this, never done it
[19:05] <jcase> i just want to use a local copy of thunderbird and keep it off the notebook heh
[19:05] <jcase> \completely
[19:05] <whacked> ok ubuntu is trash why is when i goto appearance and visual effects it want to install the outdated driver and not the newer version
[19:05] <tuxflavrdwafls> is there a way to undo a video driver upgrade?
[19:06] <fahadsadah> jcase: The client that comes with Ubuntu (vinagre) IS VNC.
[19:06] <IdleOne> whacked, because the newest driver is not available in the repos maybe
