[14:33] <luckydeveloper> kindofabuzz: is kde ..that bad to use?
[14:33] <x3on> hey what is a good simple program for recording video with my webcam?
[14:33] <Pici> !best | luckydeveloper
[14:33] <Fidel> yes
[14:33] <iSTRONG> fuck
[14:33] <iSTRONG> i deleted the admin group
[14:33] <compengi> !vmware > Fidel
[14:33] <Xinfection> i think gnome 's also very customizeable, and it's got cool widgets for the panel
[14:33] <Pici> iSTRONG: Please watch your language
[14:33] <iSTRONG> sorry
[14:33] <Xinfection> like showing cpu-freq
[14:33] <Sylphid|work> luckydeveloper, I personally used kubuntu untill recently when i tried kde 4.x and disliked it so much that i switched to gnome the next day
[14:34] <itsmrt> luckydeveloper: I use xfce, as it is very lightweight and leaves much space for other windows
[14:34] <iSTRONG> what do i do now?
[14:34] <MrKennie> kde4 is like what happened to gnome.
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> luckydeveloper: its each to their own. I use fluxbox as it just gets the job done, no messing around. I simpy dont care for prettys and gloss
[14:34] <luckydeveloper> kde 4.x gives a  plastic kind of look
[14:34] <Xinfection> flux is also great, kinda freaky =)
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Xinfection: how freaky?
[14:35] <Xinfection> it's just kinda pure you know, back to the roots
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Xinfection: the only quirk is having to run idesk to get desktop icons which is very weird
[14:35] <bazhang> !ot
[14:36] <kindofabuzz> luckydeveloper, all preference
[14:37] <iSTRONG> ok. i re-added the admin group and put myself in it. now do i need to type a command to grant the "admin" group the correct priviledges?
[14:37] <Xinfection> actionparsnip: yep, but that only bar leaves much space for programms :) i use it quite rarely
[14:37] <Xinfection> i prefer gnome
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> luckydeveloper: just like some people really like compiz but i personally cant stand it
[14:37] <compengi> bazhang, please if you would like to search something in ubottu's brain you could do this by /msg ubottu <factoid>. to prevent the channel from flood and confusion
[14:37] <strAlan> How do I bind a network interface to a VM in VirtualBox?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> Xinfection: only holds my web browser, plus I made them small so I can fit more. I use yakuake most
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> strAlan: stop the system and in prefs you should be able to enable the virtual network adapter
[14:38] <jimcooncat> ActionParsnip, erUSUL: imagemagick worked well for that conversion. Thanks much.
[14:39] <iSTRONG> please? anyone? I'm freaking out
[14:39] <mgolisch> iSTRONG: you dont need to do anything other than that, just logout and login again to make the group changes take effect
[14:39] <itsmrt> iSTRONG: that should've done the trick

[14:40] <zoed> Hi. I am trying to code a plugin for evolution based on "mail notification plugin".
[14:40] <iSTRONG> phew
[14:40] <unicum> could someone give me a hand setting up the /etc/sudoers to my liking?
[14:40] <danyalo> hello every body :D
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> jimcooncat: awesome
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> jimcooncat: it does a lot, look into it more, you'll be amazed
[14:40] <Chevy> hello everybody .................
[14:40] <qr__> unicum: man sudoers has all the information you will ever need to write a sudoers file
[14:40] <zoed> So I used the same event hook as that plugin, folder.changed. But my c method that is supposed to be the handle is not called!
[14:40] <unicum> the user i set the box up for is supposed NOT to have root-rights. i already set up a root account, so i guess i'm good to go, but what exactly do i have to do
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> mgolisch: he deleted the admin group
[14:41] <danyalo> i hellp help to get amsn in my ubuntu
[14:41] <Whitor> Hi. Does anyone know of any software I can run on Ubuntu that will let me _Serve_ a bandwith test to clients via http?
[14:41] <lenin> Hello All
[14:41] <hagus> Are there free email clients for linux that use http protocols?
[14:41] <bazhang> danyalo, install from the repos
[14:41] <jimcooncat> ActionParsnip: yes, I used it before in years past -- but because it's not in my Graphics menu, I keep forgetting about it.
[14:41] <unicum> qr well, i guess, though usually a little help is much quicker then reading man-pages.. well, i'll give it a shot
[14:41] <zoed> Can anybody help me with the evolution plugin?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> jimcooncat: haha nice
[14:41] <mgolisch> ActionParsnip: i think the only purpose of that group is to  be used with sudo, there is a rule in the sudoers file which allows each user in that group to use sudo with its own suer password
[14:42] <Rabbitbunny> zoed: use one line to state your problem, get more help.
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> mgolisch: ok, i wasnt aware to that degree how groups worked under the hood
[14:42] <G3N0> how do i view a list of running programs?
[14:42] <echo6_> w/window 2
[14:42] <qr__> G3N0: ps axu
[14:42] <zoed> The plugin is recognized by evolution, I can see it in edit->Plugins, but it doesn't have any effect.
[14:42] <qr__> G3N0: ps -u$USER for just _your_ programs
[14:43] <lenin> My headset is working fine....but here is the problem
[14:43] <lenin> I cant seem to figure out how to get sound coming from JUST the headset. Usually it will have sound from the speakers AND the headset at the sametime
[14:43] <G3N0> qr__: and then how do i close something?
[14:43] <zoed> It's based on the mail notification plugin, so it should work.
[14:43] <iSTRONG> why isn't my "root" user part of my "root" group?
[14:43] <qr__> G3N0: um, the best way is to use the program's own shutdown command, but if you want something to just go away do sudo kill -9 pid_of_the_program
[14:43] <hagus> Does any linux email support http protocol (rather than pop or imap)?
[14:44] <itsmrt> hagus: pop and imap are the mail protocols
[14:44] <itsmrt> hagus: http is something entirely different
[14:44] <genius> do you know any articles about photoshop CS2 installation? does it still unusible?
[14:44] <iplaythisgame> i'm trying to get ubuntu to run seamless in virtualbox on vist. I can get it to go seemless, but my menu bars dissapear(offscrean maybe, i dunno). Any ideas?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> hagus: there are ways you can grab httpmail
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> hagus: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-22152.html
[14:44] <itsmrt> hagus: maybe you want a mailprogram that can read your mail from GMail/hotmail/etc.?
[14:44] <zoed> Is there a channel about evolution?
[14:45] <zoed> !evolution > zoed
[14:45] <hagus> itsmrt, windows live mail supports html protocol.
[14:45] <hagus> ActionParsnip, thanks :0
[14:46] <mgolisch> never heard of http mail protocol
[14:46] <hagus> I want a program that can read mail that is held on a microsoft-owned server, ActionParsnip - you are right.  However, it is not accessible to me using gmail tools in, fe, thunderbird.
[14:47] <qr__> hagus: by microsoft-owned... do you mean exchange? Evolution can do exchange.
[14:47] <x3on> is there a program for recording video from webcam?
[14:48] <hagus> No - I have a little website that MS offered for free.  It supports webmail but only firefox can access it on linux (so far that I have found).
[14:48] <cast> so no pop3?
[14:48] <Odd-rationale> !info cheese | x3on
[14:48] <cast> what if you pay money, its like that with hotmail, pay to upgrade to a real email account
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> hagus: what account do you want to read with httpmail?
[14:48] <hagus> I have no intention of paying money lol

[14:51] <hagus> http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/protocol.html
[14:51] <hagus> that was for the iformation of those who have not come across http mail protocol before.
[14:52] <mgolisch> lol but that webmail
[14:52] <mgolisch> not some mail protocol
[14:53] <nikin> i have a small problem... i want to co work in a folder with my friendandwe both use sshfs to conect. what i want is that every file in that folder should be created with owner who it has created group work , andpermissions are set to rw-rw-r? is that possible and if yes then how?
[14:53] <hagus> is that all that http protocol means?
[14:53] <ech0s7> anybody have setting rgba on emesene-svn  ??
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> mgolisch: you can get httpmail readers that shove the html in the mail reader afair
[14:53] <hagus> Thanks for putting me right on that, mgolisch :-)
[14:54] <mgolisch> ActionParsnip: how does it work? i mean allmost all providers use different webmail interfaces, different skins and themes
[14:54] <mgolisch> how would you access that in a generic way?
[14:54] <mgolisch> you cant id say
[14:54] <nikin> pop3 IMAP?
[14:55] <tsurc> This is going to sound crazy, but I need to change the gid of messagebus group on a dapper box, any idea how I'd do it without braking everything?
[14:55] <_motti_> hi guys.
[14:56] <_motti_> how can I ran ubuntu 8.10 from usb flash memory?
[14:56] <Pirate_Hunter> is their an app like net nanny for ubuntu "yes i want to spy on the kids", yeah i wnat to make sure they dont go to innapropiate websites and i want to know the exact connections they are making and the ip addresses being connected to and from their machine?
[14:56] <mgolisch> _motti_: you mean running ubuntu installed on a flash thumbdrive?
[14:57] <Rabbitbunny> Pirate_Hunter: run a dns box, squid, wireshark, snort?
[14:57] <mgolisch> _motti_: thats generaly a bad idea, frequent writes to the flash will kill it in no time
[14:57] <_motti_> I don't want to burn it do a cd and install on a usb flashdrive.
[14:57] <_motti_> I only want to test it.
[14:57] <Pirate_Hunter> Rabbitbunny: huh do i need to run all those apps? isnt there something that caters to my needs?
[14:58] <zoidfarb> So during the FSCK at startup, it found errors and deleted some illegal blocks or something. Now, for some reason, the Ubuntu file save dialog boxes are REALLY wide, like too big for the screen, and so is the "Places" menu, but not the Applications or System menus. Can I fix this by reinstalling some package? Like GTK maybe?
[14:58] <Rabbitbunny> Pirate_Hunter: not that I know of, but then again I've never tried to limit pron, I tend to make sure it flows.
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> !usblinux | _motti_
[14:59] <nikin> mgolisch: there is a filter the name dosntcomein butit canllimit acces to porn

[15:03] <nikin> Pirate_Hunter: did you take a look at dansguradian?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: try sudo umount -a
[15:03] <bazhang> !players | sushiX
[15:03] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: don't work
[15:07] <sushiX> i tried using Amarok but get an error when i try to play mp3 files it says audio output not available Xine parameters
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: run sudo fdisk -l
[15:07] <cyix> lasjsdfs: pretty hard to help w/o error messages, feedback, what was done, mfg, etc...
[15:07] <MikeSeth> sushiX: does other sound work?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: do you see the partition?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: has it been in a windows pc?
[15:07] <jimcooncat> can I use openoffice on the command line to convert docx to doc?

[15:10] <bazhang> sushiX, never had that problem; could be because I installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and ubuntu-restricted-extras :)
[15:10] <sushiX> MikeSeth: ya i know its wierd do you think since its a KDE application it does work well on Gnome
[15:10] <lasjsdfs> cyix: don't have error, only not mount
[15:10] <balachmar> How can I use control+alt+F1 to get to TTY1 in a VM in QEMU/KVM?
[15:11] <jimcooncat> ActionParsnip: thanks, but I don't see an answer in that thread. I'll dig some more in ooo's docs.
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: did you unplug it gracefully from your windows box?
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: or did you just yank it out
[15:12] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: yank out
[15:12] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: but i have, 2 flashdriver and 1 hd usb
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: go put it back in and properly rmove it or it wont mount as the drive is marked as "busy"
[15:12] <w8tah> !upgrade
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: why do you think they have the "safetly remove hardware" thing?
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: in windows
[15:13] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: hehehe
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: if you dont want it to mount just keep pulling it out
[15:13] <bazhang> sushiX, iirc it is the libxine1 meta-package that has to be installed for amarok to play mp3
[15:14] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: to fix i need to put in windows and remove safetly ?
[15:14] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: or have another metod
[15:14] <sushiX> bazhang, how do i get it
[15:15] <thesaint4444> hi guys, does anyone have a problem when trying to send a large attachment with evolution? thanks.
[15:15] <bazhang> sushiX, install it from synaptic or the command line
[15:15] <sushiX> bazhang, ok thanx
[15:15] <bazhang> sushiX, you may also want to ask in #kubuntu , just to be sure :)
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: always remove it saftely and you should be ok
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> thesaint4444: does you mail provider support the file size (most have limits)
[15:16] <thesaint4444> ActionParsnip: yes, should do...

[15:18] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: sudo mkdir /mnt/usb1; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb1
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: should do it
[15:19] <jessid> hello. Does  Ubuntu Linux support touchscreen displays????????????????
[15:19] <aconrad> hi, if I want to install eclipse, will "apt-get install eclipse" install the official version of java or the "free" one ?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> jessid: indeed
[15:19] <bazhang> jessid, no need for so many ?
[15:19] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: /dev/sdb1 on /mnt type vfat (rw)
[15:19] <jessid> ActionParsnip no need for so many? what do you mean???
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: not /mnt./mnt/usb1
[15:20] <lasjsdfs> ok
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> jessid: i think you mean bazhang
[15:20] <bazhang> jessid, it does
[15:20] <jessid> ActionParsnip ,bazhang thanks a lot!!! good bye!!!
[15:20] <thesaint4444> aconrad: can't say for sure but likely the free one... - give it a go.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: sudo umount /mnt; sudo mkdir /mnt/usb1; sudo mound /sdb1 /mnt/usb1
[15:21] <bazhang> iirc need the netbook version
[15:21] <bazhang> oops
[15:21] <thesaint4444> aconrad: suppose it depends which sources you have enabled.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: it basically makes a folder in /mnt and mounts your usb stick to it
[15:21] <carlba> Does anybody have experience with using an external screen with Ubuntu-eee...
[15:21] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/usb1 type vfat (rw)
[15:21] <bazhang> carlba, sure
[15:21] <carlba> bazhang: I can
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: cool, ok
[15:21] <carlba> bazhang: I can
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: cd /mnt/usb1; konqueror .
[15:22] <bazhang> carlba, me too
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> theres your pendrive
[15:22] <aconrad> thesaint4444: I don't see anything about the "sun-java-6" in the listed packages when I hit enter
[15:22] <carlba> bazhang: I can't get it to work... I only get 800x480 on the external screen...
[15:22] <aconrad> maybe if I install sun-java-6 first, will won't try to install the free version ...
[15:22] <bazhang> carlba, how did you install ubuntu on the eee
[15:22] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: did
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: before you pull it out remember to sudo umount /mnt/usb1
[15:23] <carlba> bazhang: I used the installation from ubuntu-eee.com
[15:23] <lasjsdfs> ActionParsnip: close konqueror and umount ?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> carlba: theres also /j #eeepc
[15:23] <bazhang> carlba, no idea about that site; I followed the wiki at www.eeeuser.com to get hardy running perfectly :)
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: when you are done, yes
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> lasjsdfs: looks like you are set, im outta here
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> peace out kidsd
[15:24] <thesaint4444> aconrad: why don't you  just give it a go and see what happens. I have done it before a while ago. it will cry about deps later if necessary.
[15:24] <carlba> bazhang: Okay maybe I should have done that instead... Thank for the tip..
[15:24] <aconrad> thesaint4444, ok
[15:25] <thesaint4444> aconrad: I seem to remeber it was a bit of a pain getting the right java but the way to do it is start with eclipse and go from there.
[15:25] <thesaint4444> aconrad: what are you using eclipse for?
[15:26] <tsurc> cant get nis authenticated users to load usb memory sticks on our 8.04.1 ltsp servers because they dont appear to be members of the fuse group

[15:27] <aconrad> thesaint4444, I'll need it to develop Adobe Flex applications
[15:28] <thesaint4444> aconrad: sorry, don't know anything about that. It is a memory hog and runs like a bag of nails...
[15:28] <aconrad> thesaint4444, after installing sun-java6-jre, eclipse doesn't seem to need gcj anymore... :)
[15:28] <Kartagis> !lamp

[15:29] <cyrax> Hello all. I have an HP DV6500 laptop. I noticed that the screen is not as bright as it was when using Windows Vista on this laptop. Is this by default? How do I make the screen brighter? I am using Ubuntu 8.04 updated version.
[15:29] <thesaint4444> aconrad: ok, I know a little about that. I use vim... :-)
[15:29] <Fredd2> Hey, anyone who uses Synergy on ubuntu: how do I get synergy to start on the login screen? I put a startup script in /etc/init.d and it starts only after I login, so I have to keep a keyboard hooked to the machine JUST for that purpose.

[15:30] <bcase> How can I get ati's control center to permanently save my changes? I have to reset them everytime I logout/login.
[15:33] <aconrad> thesaint4444, I'm a vim user as well, but I thought I'd give it a try with eclipse as I have to install it for Flex
[15:34] <thesaint4444> aconrad: yeah, I think its the best of the ide's ...
[15:34] <unicum> somewhere in compiz there's a plugin with which one can define things like "show all windows" and "show all windows of this workspace" and stuff like that.. which plugin is it?

[15:52] <LjL> !hardware > Meroigo    (Meroigo, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:52] <wols_> but unless you pay more than say 10-20% it's overpriced

[15:57] <bavardage> fun fun
[15:58] <Fredd2> how do I start a background app so it's running when I hit the startup screen, and not just when I log in?
[15:58] <LjL> bavardage: i see no netsplit
[15:58] <wols_> freeman: add it to rc.local
[15:58] <Fredd2> wols_: where is that? I added it /etc/init.d
[15:58] <Fredd2> which is apparently WRONG
[15:58] <bavardage> LjL: hmm I just got one here as huge as a huge monkey
[15:58] <siekacz> is it possible, that Wall Light theme wil be implented in 8.10?
[15:58] <wols_> Fredd2: very wrong. /etc/rc.local for example
[15:59] <Fredd2> that's not a directory!
[15:59] <Fredd2> all the directories are rc\d\.d
[16:00] <Fredd2> or rc<number>.d
[16:00] <wols_> Fredd2: no one told you to use a directory.
[16:00] <wols_> Fredd2: did you write a proper, working startup initscript?
[16:00] <wols_> if so, putting it to init.d is right but symlink to to rc2.d too
[16:01] <Fredd2> I think so, it's just a bash script with the line "synergyc drakknar" in it, does it need any more than that?
[16:01] <gunner999999> I know this mite sound dumb but I know a lot about Linux and how to use it but, is there an easy way to learn to program or a good webpage that has some ebooks to get started learning.
[16:01] <wols_> Fredd2: yes lots more. use rc.local
[16:02] <Homicide> wow, that's a lot of people.
[16:02] <ubuntu> .
[16:02] <Homicide> Anyone know what would cause me to be unable to update to 8.04 from 7.10 via update manager?
[16:02] <jrib> gunner999999: do you want to learn programming or do you want to become more familiar with the operating system?
[16:02] <wols_> Homicide: use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and tell us what the errors is it spits out
[16:03] <Fredd2> wols_: how will moving the script change the contents of the file?
[16:03] <Homicide> on it, hold please
[16:03] <LjL> gunner999999: i wouldn't know, but this isn't quite the right channel, try perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux or i guess ##programming
[16:03] <AaronChen> VI have a lot of files name like **.friend.**.rmvb that I just keep the the files like friend.**.rmvb ,how do you do that with rename
[16:03] <Subaeroux> when i try to connect using dial up with wdialer or ppon i get the dial tone and it rings thru and then the dial tone sort of blocks

[16:03] <Subaeroux> why????
[16:03] <gunner999999> a programmer and as well be able to better software and make some of my own
[16:04] <Homicide> wols_: no error of any sort visible.

[16:04] <Subaeroux> i cant connect
[16:04] <LjL> Homicide: we don't pardon the flood, as there exists a pastebin to avoid it...
[16:04] <LjL> !paste > Homicide    (Homicide, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:04] <Subaeroux> because it blocks the dialtone
[16:04] <Homicide> D:
[16:04] <schmidtm> mizo just gparted and not ./gparted
[16:05] <Homicide> crap, apologies.
[16:05] <Homicide> hold please

[16:06] <^grand_champa^> i need some programs like autorecovery after restarting for my kubuntu
[16:07] <jrib> !who | gunner999999
[16:07] <Homicide> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43071/ is all I get.
[16:07] <Homicide> no visible errors of any kind.
[16:07] <jrib> gunner999999: read help.ubuntu.com and follow it by the links ubottu is about to send you.  For programming, you need to pick a language first
[16:08] <jrib> !rute > gunner999999
[16:08] <wols_> Homicide: apt-cacjhe policy libc6
[16:08] <bytor4232> aha!  I finally solved the nm-applet + gdm + autologin problem.
[16:08] <jrib> AaronChen: still with us?
[16:08] <bytor4232> I had to install seahorse ( on Xubuntu), had to go to Encryptions and Keyrings in settings, then set the keyrings to blank.
[16:08] <noone> anyone able to download google chrome?
[16:09] <Homicide> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43075/
[16:09] <jrib> noone: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy.  Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[16:09] <LjL> !ot | noone
[16:09] <Homicide> lol, bots.
[16:09] <wols_> Homicide: you are still on gutsy. change your sources.list
 thats for the info
[16:10] <noone> jribL i dont mind but i think this is ubuntu related knowing that google chrome is for windows only. i want to test it in ubuntu if that is ok
[16:10] <AaronChen> q
[16:10] <wols_> noone: you can't. the end
[16:10] <noone> ok cranky guy
[16:10] <jrib> ...
[16:10] <Homicide> wols_: could you elaborate further or provide a link? I'm still fairly new to the whole linux thing.
[16:10] <tehboriz> good morning im looking for the command which lets me see what's sda and sdb.,.. both drives are identical
[16:10] <jrib> why do people fail to understand #ubuntu-offtopic is an actual channel...
[16:11] <tehboriz> hey a bit of help here please
[16:11] <k3rnelpanic> would anyone mind helping me upgrade? i can't seem to download the last 2 pkgs, even used different mirrors
[16:11] <tehboriz> i have 5 minutes to set up a DD operation
[16:11] <tehboriz> and i'm going to class
[16:11] <jrib> k3rnelpanic: pastebin the errors
[16:11] <IdleOne> jrib: because it does not look like it would be a real channel
[16:11] <tehboriz> im looking for the command which lets me see what's sda and sdb.,.. both drives are identical
[16:12] <IdleOne> jrib: perhaps starting a #ubuntu-chat that forwards to offtopic?
[16:12] <wols_> jrib: how does one change repos "the ubuntu wwy"? Homicide needs to upgrade from gutsy
[16:12] <mango> use fdisk
[16:12] <k3rnelpanic> ive used 4 different mirrors, i have to end up cancelling the upgrade cause it wont download these are the 2 pkgs.....

[16:12] <wols_> tehboriz: sudo fdisk -l is one way
[16:12] <tehboriz> thanks that's the right way wols_
[16:12] <k3rnelpanic> sorry about the spam
[16:12] <jrib> wols_: !upgrade  factoid should give the update-manager instructions.  Or are those not working?
[16:13] <wols_> jrib: he says they are not. but I'M skeptical :)
[16:13] <mango> anyone using IES4LINUX ?
[16:13] <wols_> !anyone | mango
[16:13] <wols_> !upgrade > Homicide
[16:13] <jrib> k3rnelpanic: switch to archive.ubuntu.com
[16:13] <k3rnelpanic> ok let me try
[16:13] <tehboriz> wols_: there was ANOTHER way to check by seeing the disk space occupied
[16:14] <mango> Does anyone using IES4LINUX ?
[16:14] <Pici> !anyone | mango
[16:14] <wols_> tehboriz: df, du. but only for mounted stuff
[16:14] <tehboriz> it involved man or something
[16:14] <IdleOne> wols_: he could edit /etc/sources.list but not the "right way"
[16:14] <wols_> IdleOne: that's why I didn't tell him to do that :P
[16:14] <ijn> hi all
[16:14] <tehboriz> im cloning and i must be sure i  know what sda and sdb are
[16:14] <IdleOne> wols_: although i DON'T THINK IT HURTS ANY DOING IT THAT WAY
[16:14] <ijn> how to install gmail notifier in epiphany?
[16:15] <wols_> IdleOne: it won't, but YOU do that with a newbie without a clue. not enough patience here
[16:15] <mango> Hi all
[16:15] <IdleOne> wols_: lol nahhh that's ok
[16:15] <LjL> mango: do you have a support question?
[16:15] <tehboriz> hi
[16:15] <jrib> ijn: I'm not sure about that but there is a mail-notification package that gives you a nice notifier in your sys tray
[16:15] <IdleOne> ijn: epiphany has a addon manager just click on it and select the addon you want
[16:15] <tehboriz> how to check what's sda and sdb according to total size
[16:16] <wols_> Homicide: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy libc6    needs to say "hardy" somewhere. if it does, then you're done and can upgrade
[16:16] <LjL> tehboriz: total size of what?
[16:16] <k3rnelpanic> jrib, where do i get archive.ubuntu.com? i cant find it in the server list. im using system>admin>software sources
[16:16] <croSmiley> i have hp nx6110 laptop and 8.04 ubuntu, every time i try to suspend, it leaves me with blank screen and cursor blinking in top left corner
[16:16] <ijn> where is the addon manager on epi?
[16:16] <IdleOne> k3rnelpanic: main server
[16:16] <tehboriz> LkL i'm trying to DD and disk(0) is empty and disk (1) has the info i need
[16:17] <IdleOne> ijn: look around. cmon folks you can't just ask where is the mall and then expect us to drive you there also.
[16:17] <tehboriz> so how do i clone disk1
[16:17] <Homicide> wols_: I see no mention of 'hardy' in any form.
[16:17] <tehboriz> brb
[16:17] <wols_> Homicide: cause your sources.list doesn't have them either
[16:17] <LjL> tehboriz: wait, have you changed question?
[16:17] <ijn> im telling you my epi dont have one
[16:17] <tehboriz> no i haven't
[16:17] <k3rnelpanic> ok trying again...
[16:17] <tehboriz> how do i identify sda from sdb
[16:17] <wols_> LjL: well noticed. :)
[16:17] <ijn> i installed the epi extension pack from synaptik
[16:17] <Whitor> Hi. I'm running compiz as my window manager. I'd like to know how to spawn a program in a diffrent xserver than the one used for compiz... and have it show up on alt+F8  (or some other alt key)... is this possible... and where do I look for more info on how-to ?
[16:17] <tehboriz> fdisk dosen't help because the drives are the SAME
[16:17] <ijn> is that what you mean
[16:18] <Homicide> wols_: to be honest, I've nothing to lose on this system as-is. Should I just reinstall 7.10 and then immediately upgrade to 8.04?
[16:18] <LjL> tehboriz: df?
[16:18] <wols_> tehboriz: one reacts to sda, the other reacts to sdb
[16:18] <wols_> Homicide: no. reinstalling is a windows user solution
[16:18] <tehboriz> LjL YOU WIN
[16:18] <wols_> Homicide: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and replace "gutsy" with "hardy"
[16:18] <Homicide> wols_: on it.
[16:19] <blendo> checkout www.kde4.de
[16:19] <wols_> Homicide: if you fsck up you break it all, but then it's at least a learning experience
[16:19] <akahige> question for rdesktop users... I'm running rdesktop from the command line... when I have sound enabled, sound events on the linux desktop are disabled. is there a way to get both local AND remote sound w. rdesktop?
[16:20] <IdleOne> hmm ijn seems that I am mistaken. :/ try #epiphany
[16:20] <ijn> no prob:)
[16:20] <ijn> ok thanks
[16:20] <tehboriz> okay so LjL wins today

[16:22] <MikeSeth> morph3us: see supported hardware list and linux-laptop.net
[16:22] <MikeSeth> morph3us: in general most laptops work
[16:22] <Jewfro-Macabbi> morph3us, run the live CD
[16:22] <Homicide> I just winged it and hoped.
[16:22] <LjL> morph3us: an easy way is to get the live CD and try it...
[16:22] <LjL> !hardware > morph3us    (morph3us, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:23] <morph3us> LjL i haven't bought the computer yet
[16:23] <Mu5> anyone familiar with sound problems connecting with ubuntu?
[16:24] <Jewfro-Macabbi> morph3us, I believe you can buy a Dell with Ubuntu on it already
[16:24] <LjL> morph3us: then use the hardware support link, and if they're laptop, /msg ubottu laptop
[16:24] <k3rnelpanic> nope same thing, it wont dl
[16:24] <morph3us> thanks everybody for the help :D

[16:31] <GuLRS> wols_: but this would mess up with my existing instalation?
[16:32] <Homicide> wols_: i don't know why, but that worked. thank you and good day :D
[16:33] <wols_> GuLRS: no
[16:33] <wols_> GuLRS: IF you know what "doing a backport" is

[16:40] <kai`> hey guys. i just installed ssh server on my ubuntu system. but how can i configure it, that the ssh daemon starts at every boot?
[16:40] <Iradieh> monster: how?
[16:40] <Phantomas> my friend has a problem... he installed ubuntu 8.04 and when he shutdown his pc ubuntu unloads, disks turn off but the rest of the system is still running ..
[16:40] <Myrtti> kai`: it probably already does
[16:41] <regeya> sounds like apm isn't working, Phantomas...other than that, I wouldn't know
[16:41] <FloodBot3> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[16:41] <kai`> Myrtti: So then Ubuntu starts ssh daemon on bootup by default when someone installs it?
[16:41] <regeya> thank you for the flooding bot
[16:41] <Zal0m0n> so girls and boys, any surplus experts here?
[16:41] <wols_> kai`: yes. that someone must be able to use sudo
[16:42] <Phantomas> regeya: what is apm and how can i solve it please
[16:42] <wols_> kai`: ls /etc/rc2.d/*ssh*
[16:42] <Myrtti> kai`: if you install ssh-server, the postinst scripts are usually installed
[16:42] <regeya> !apm
[16:42] <wols_> Myrtti: postinst scripts are "installed" with every package if there are some...
[16:42] <Myrtti> wols_: sorry, got distracted
[16:43] <wols_> Myrtti: but none of them ends up in init.d. I hope
[16:43] <Myrtti> kai`: if you install ssh-server, the postinst scripts are usually install the scripts that make the sshd run on boot
[16:43] <wols_> kai`: run the command I told you
[16:43] <Myrtti> goooohhh
[16:43] <wols_> Myrtti: you need more coffee :P
[16:43] <Myrtti> I need coffee

[16:43] <FloodBot3> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[16:44] <Zal0m0n> Im like thinking on the old top line Deskstar, great hdd with liftime waranty, only the old when 5600 spinns and like 20gig was the best, where are they, I wanna do like lots in a "supercomputer" lol
[16:44] <Phantomas> regeya: ??
[16:44] <regeya> okay...I'll point out that the floodbot is kicking in when ubottu gives an answer...I had a suspicion but had to test...I realize I should have pm'ed myself but I didn't
[16:44] <Myrtti> regeya: do you have a ubuntu support related question, are you planning to help anyone with their problems, or are you here just to make a some odd point?
[16:44] <Zal0m0n> ops wrong channel :)
[16:44] <regeya> Myrtti: see above
[16:45] <Glady> I dont care about this fuckin ubuntu
[16:45] <Myrtti> Glady: fine, you're welcome to leave then
[16:45] <^grand_champa^> i need cybercafe billing and auto recovery (like deepfreeze) on my kubuntu. can anybody help me?
[16:45] <regeya> also, if we're only allowed to be in the channel when we have a QUESTION we're all in trouble :->
[16:45] <kindofabuzz> Glady is mady
[16:45] <wols_> grobda24: does not exist and I gave you two possible solutions
[16:45] <Phantomas> regeya: can you answer my point please?
[16:45] <Myrtti> regeya: read my question again
[16:46] <regeya> Phantomas: not really, but perhaps someone else could
[16:46] <IdleOne> regeya: get on topic or get out please
[16:46] <regeya> Myrtti: apparently you missed MY point, or are ignoring what I said.  drop it already.
[16:46] <Myrtti> !test
[16:46] <kai`> i
[16:46] <Phantomas> regeya: you said about apm ... didnt you? so i guess you know what is apm... ?
[16:47] <Buzzons> if i want to remove dhclient -- what package should i remove from my box?
[16:47] <kai`> i'm starting sshd with /etc/init.d/ssh start
[16:47] <kai`> am i right?
[16:47] <el1> i've installed iiiubuntu, classic on eee pc asus... can you list for me "sudo" applications?
[16:47] <BladieBla> hooi
[16:47] <test27> hey can we boot gparted live on harddisk
[16:47] <regeya> a(dvanced?) power management, that would handle things like, say, shutting off when you issue a shutdown.  aside from that, I don't know...I do know that on various machines I've had issues with it
[16:47] <monster> el1: what is iiiubuntu? i only know of eeeubuntu
[16:47] <wols_> test27: that is OT here. we support ubuntu, not gparted live cds
[16:48] <ganymede> is there a way for me to deactivate my wired ethernet connection (let no traffic pass through) but still retain the DHCP IP address that was given to it?
[16:48] <ganymede> i'd like to switch to wireless but without losing the IP
[16:48] <wols_> grobda24: use iptables for that
[16:48] <IdleOne> test27: #gparted might be helpful
[16:48] <lilleskid> Hey guys, what is the default port in Transmission? I changed it by a mistake and can't remember the right one.
[16:48] <croSmiley> i have hp nx6110 laptop and 8.04 ubuntu, every time i try to suspend, it leaves me with blank screen and cursor blinking in top left corner
[16:48] <BladieBla> spreekt iemand hier nederlands?
[16:48] <monster> port is 51413
[16:48] <wols_> !nl > BladieBla
[16:49] <wols_> lilleskid: there is no default port. bt can use any port you designate
[16:49] <lilleskid> I know wols, but the one I wrote by a mistake is closed so I want to find the open port again, the one that worked.
[16:49] <lilleskid> But thx for answer!
[16:50] <monster> lilleskid: 51413 <- that port can be used just fine
[16:50] <lilleskid> Great
[16:51] <wols_> lilleskid: you open the port. any port
[16:51] <lilleskid> Got a router and can't remember the login for it.
[16:51] <monster> wols_: might be, that the port is closed by his/her router?
[16:51] <Phantomas> i will set again my question in case someone who knows didnt saw it: my friend has a problem... he installed ubuntu 8.04 and when he shutdown his pc ubuntu unloads, disks turn off but the rest of the system is still running ..
[16:51] <test27> well maybe you guys can help me out
[16:51] <nabilmalik> Hello, is the the ubuntu channel where the community helps each other?
[16:51] <wols_> monster: of course. but then he should check his router config, not ask us
[16:51] <jrib> nabilmalik: you're in it!
[16:51] <test27> because i want to expand my ubuntu space
[16:52] <monster> wols_: then ask him to check it
[16:52] <nabilmalik> thanks jrib
[16:52] <wols_> test27: boot the ubuntu live cd and run gparted
[16:52] <charles_> lilleskid: it's 51413.. easy to remember, it's the first digits of pi backwards
[16:52] <nabilmalik> i actually neven used irc before, but came here looking for help
[16:52] <IdleOne> wols_: what lilleskid is saying is that when first installed transmission was working fine but then he went and changed the port it listens on and now it is not connecting so he wants to put it back to the original port it listens on so it can work again. what you are talking about is portforwarding but I don't think he has the permissions to do that
[16:52] <Marfi> how do i ping a computer on my network to find its ip address? ie, ping Marfi (marfi being the computer name)
[16:52] <test27> is that using CD?
[16:53] <lilleskid> Yeah that portname solved it, thanks a lot guys! :)
[16:53] <wols_> test27: yes. "ubuntu live CD" denotes a CD. imagine that
[16:53] <Marfi> IdleOne, the listening ports are 6881 - 6889 if i remember correctly
[16:53] <monster> no problem mate
[16:53] <nabilmalik> it seems like my ubuntu based desktop is hacked..
[16:53] <monster> nabilmalik: what makes you think that?
[16:53] <monster> brb
[16:53] <nabilmalik> and i was going to rebuild it, but though that i will ask for some suggestion
[16:54] <nabilmalik> i have like 17G for the / mount
[16:54] <nw15062> why do you think it has been hacked?
[16:54] <nabilmalik> and suddenly all is full
[16:54] <nabilmalik> when i do df -h, it says all 17G is full
[16:55] <nw15062> you need to use disk usage analyzer and find out what is so big
[16:55] <nabilmalik> it was all fine one 2 days ago.. and there was enough space
[16:55] <kindofabuzz> i saw the same thing happen on a debian system, he thought he was hacked too
[16:55] <Marfi> how do i ping a computer on my network to find its ip address? ie, ping Marfi (marfi being the computer name)
[16:55] <kindofabuzz> may have been
[16:55] <John0Neil> Hello. I have started a program called GCALDaemon in console. The program run in background and I only can stop it in closing the console or in system monitor with Kill process command. Is there any command I can use to stop it and staying in the console?
[16:55] <nw15062> use application >> accessories >> Disk usage Analyzer
[16:55] <nabilmalik> disk usage analyzer... hum
[16:55] <wols_> Marfi: use arp
[16:55] <nabilmalik> let me check
[16:56] <nw15062> Crtl -X will kill the app with out closing the term window
[16:56] <kindofabuzz> Marfi, nslookup
[16:56] <Vonoff> how do i disable the start of xorg on boot?
[16:56] <ritterrav> Ok, hey, i just installed the latest ubuntu on my HP 4gig ram, 2.66ghrtz core 2 duo computer, with a nvidia 256mb ram video card, and i used ENVYNG to install that, but when i run world of warcraft, i get a good 30 FPS but then after a second it just drops to 10FPS for no reason and it never goes back up. and i lowered the resolution to 800 X 600 and it starts out on 60fps and for no reason it drops to 10fps.
[16:57] <test27> wols_: can i use harddsik instead the cd?
[16:57] <wols_> Vonoff: ubuntu? gnome?
[16:57] <nw15062> Control X is a great kill switch for term apps
[16:57] <wols_> test27: no
[16:57] <LimCore> is there any WSDL editor for ubuntu? preferably not eclipse
[16:57] <Vonoff> wols_, ubuntu / console
[16:57] <myron> is there a apt-get command to repair an application?
[16:57] <nabilmalik> i just asked disk analyser to do a Scan Filesystem.. it working now
[16:57] <wols_> Vonoff: your desktop environment is not "console". delete /etc/rc.d/S99gdm
[16:57] <wols_> Marfi: depends how it is broken
[16:58] <nw15062> use " man apt-get"
[16:58] <nabilmalik> i have been fiddling with du command and got pretty frustrated
[16:58] <nw15062> it will give you information on options and values you can use
[16:58] <test27> owww
[16:58] <Vonoff> wols_, i mean I am on the console and want to prevent Xorg from starting at boottime
[16:58] <myron> well, it's wine, and it won't open any applications. Even the config will not open
[16:58] <wols_> Vonoff: I just told you
[16:58] <wols_> Vonoff: IF you run gnome
[16:58] <nw15062> well try using a different tty
[16:58] <nnull> anyone know if theres any problems having both clamav and avast installed at the same time?
[16:58] <charliecb> hi all
[16:58] <nw15062> vonoff just alt+Crtl +1
[16:58] <nnull> thse dont run as daemons on ure system unless u specifically install daemons for them right?
[16:59] <nw15062> or 1-7
[16:59] <nnull> these*
[16:59] <wols_> myron: try to open it frm an xterm
[16:59] <charliecb> does anybody know why openoffice 3.0 is not available in ubuntu 8.10 ?
[16:59] <myron> didn't even think about that, thanks
[16:59] <test27> which distro that support nvidia 9600?
[16:59] <wols_> !ot > charliecb
[16:59] <wols_> test27: try to install nvidia drivers with envyng
[17:00] <wers> how do I know how my wireless lan is labeled (like eth0, ra0 or whatever)?
[17:00] <nw15062> nabilmalik did you find the massive file or files?
[17:00] <test27> i have 9600 on hardy but the hardy doesn't deteect my card at all
[17:00] <wols_> wers: iwconfig
[17:00] <wols_> test27: I just told you what to do
[17:00] <Juje007> how do I enable XDMCP on a Ubuntu Server?
[17:00] <nw15062> just click scan file system and sit back
[17:00] <myron> turns out that wine won't open because there is a conflict with a printer
[17:00] <aconrad> hi, is it possible to install a 32bits application on my 64bits ubuntu ?
[17:00] <wols_> aconrad: in a chroot yes
[17:01] <test27> envyng doesn't work
[17:01] <wols_> !doesn't work > test27
[17:01] <aconrad> wols_, I mean installing an app from the ubuntu repos
[17:01] <wers> thanks, wols!
[17:01] <wols_> aconrad: so do I
[17:01] <test27> its seems need a manual install
[17:01] <wols_> test27: wrong
[17:01] <Juje007> how do I enable XDMCP on a Ubuntu Server?
[17:01] <Juje007> how do I enable XDMCP (Remote login) on a Ubuntu Server?
[17:01] <negge^> I'm trying to replace my old network card on my server. I took out the old one and inserted 2 new ones instead ('cause I don't know if they work). I connected one of the cards to my switch and the lights are on on the card, but when I boot Ubuntu and run ifconfig only the loopback interface shows up. I added an entry for eth1 aswell in /etc/network/interfaces but when I restarted the networking daemon it said Device not found. Does
[17:01] <negge^> this mean that both my cards are broken?
[17:01] <test27> hmmm
[17:02] <test27> then what should i do
[17:02] <wols_> negge^: ifconfig -a
[17:02] <wols_> negge^: also check dmesg
[17:02] <kindofabuzz> Juje007, do you have gnome or kde intalled, by default server doesn't so you just ssh
[17:02] <negge^> wols_ what should I look for?
[17:02] <negge^> (in dmesg)
[17:02] <wols_> test27: I told you
[17:02] <nabilmalik> Yes, i found the massive file.. so embarrasing
[17:02] <Juje007> Just Ubuntu
[17:02] <test27> the envyng cannot find the proper driver for my 9600
[17:02] <nabilmalik> it was not hacked
[17:02] <nw15062> what was the file?
[17:02] <wols_> negge^: for eth
[17:02] <nw15062> well that is good news then
[17:02] <negge^> wols_ dmesg | grep eth then?
[17:03] <nw15062> rather a embarrasing moment then to really be hacked
[17:03] <wols_> test27: and you cannot give us error messages. clearly envyng is the smarter of you two
[17:03] <Juje007> Just Ubuntu kindofabuzz
[17:03] <nabilmalik> well, 2 days ago is was trying to backup a folder using webmin
[17:03] <negge^> I'll see what I'll find, be back in a minute
[17:03] <wols_> negge^: ifconfig -a
[17:03] <kindofabuzz> Juje007, yeah but you said Ubuntu server, did you actually install Ubuntu server edition?
[17:03] <nw15062> I see
[17:03] <Juje007> Ya kindofabuzz
[17:03] <nabilmalik> the backup failed, and i never realized that is must have left some file
[17:03] <nw15062> minor mistake big consequences
[17:03] <wols_> !webmin
[17:04] <test27> i don't remember the message
[17:04] <wols_> nabilmalik: see this? all YOUR fault for using webmin
[17:04] <negge^> wols_ ifconfig -a showed that there is eth2 and eth3. I guess that was the problem
[17:04] <kindofabuzz> Juje007, there is no XDMCP then, just ssh to it
[17:04] <Juje007> Ok
[17:04] <LimCore> ubuntu do need a real XML editor imho
[17:04] <nabilmalik> hum, probably you are right about webmin
[17:04] <negge^> !ebox
[17:04] <nnull> how do i make sure clamav runs only when i spawn it to scan files and not run as a daemon always in my system?
[17:04] <Juje007> I need to have the desktop version for remote login kindofabuzz?
[17:05] <negge^> ebox sounds interesting, gonna take a look at it. Thanks for the quick help wols_ (second time today)
[17:05] <test27> wols_: how about interpid ibex can it support my card?
[17:05] <nabilmalik> anyways, you guys just saved me atleast 4 hours of work.. Cannot thank you enough
[17:05] <kindofabuzz> Juje007, or just sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[17:05] <kindofabuzz> Juje007, on the server
[17:05] <nw15062> no problem glad we could help
[17:05] <wols_> nnull: make sure it's not loaded by init scripts
[17:05] <Juje007> No ty for that :P
[17:05] <nnull> wols_, how do i check that mate?
[17:06] <nnull> system > admin > services ?
[17:06] <Juje007> I just want to have my server and not the desktop part
[17:06] <Juje007> kindofabuzz
[17:06] <nabilmalik> Thanks and god luck to all.. -Nabil.
[17:06] <SurfnKid> unable to look up via gethostbyname
[17:06] <nabilmalik> good luck
[17:06] <SurfnKid> does anyone know what that means?????
[17:06] <wols_> SurfnKid: couldn't resolve a host via DNS
[17:07] <nnull> wols_ to check for init loading is it just in services?
[17:07] <SurfnKid> wols_: so... for example... this system has been off for a year, now its back up and on, and i get this message
[17:07] <nw15062> ha sanybody tried out the new packagekit application?
[17:07] <nw15062> has anybody~ typo
[17:07] <SurfnKid> wols_: what is the difference between a new system that resolves the host without a network interface up
[17:07] <SurfnKid> and a system that gets this error?
[17:07] <wols_> SurfnKid: a working or non working resolver
[17:07] <SurfnKid> ah ok
[17:08] <negge^> man I'm happy. Just by replacing a crappy old 3com network card with another crappy old 3com network card I boosted my transfer speeds between my desktop and server from around 2 Mbit/s to 94 Mbit/s:)
[17:08] <ben34> On windows i had windows messenger which had sharing folders is there a similar solution for ubuntu
[17:08] <SurfnKid> is it in the /etc/network/interfaces ?
[17:08] <negge^> this rocks
[17:08] <Rostropovich> is anjuta a good ide?
[17:08] <nw15062> it is supposed to be a simply repository managment application that may see its way in the next distro of ubu
[17:08] <wols_> SurfnKid: no
[17:08] <tsolox> I have a problem: the ubuntu i installed in my sister's laptop froze at boot-up somewhere in "routine check drives"...wtf happened?
[17:08] <SurfnKid> !gethostbyname
[17:08] <nw15062> tsolox have you tried booting into recovery mode?
[17:09] <wols_> SurfnKid: do you have a prompt now?
[17:09] <negge^> wols_ another quick question... In which log is the stuff that is printed during startup stored? I got some warnings and stuff that I'd like to correct but I can't find it
[17:09] <nw15062> hit esc on grub and select the second options
[17:09] <wols_> negge^: sometimes syslog. but not all
[17:09] <SurfnKid> yeah i have it, but when i try to do any admin commands, any sudo commands, any starting of programs, or the such
[17:09] <negge^> wols_ I checked there but it contained too much
[17:09] <SurfnKid> it takes a while, about 3 minutes and then sometimes
[17:09] <negge^> I'm booting in "quiet" mode
[17:10] <wols_> SurfnKid: nslookup google.com
[17:10] <SurfnKid> if im in a console i get this error
[17:10] <nw15062> tsolox other option is to boot from live disk and view the log files after a chroot
[17:10] <SurfnKid> wols_: there is no network
[17:10] <SurfnKid> wols_: and actually
[17:10] <wols_> SurfnKid: DNS with no network is kinda useless
[17:10] <SurfnKid> it is looking for its own host...  the comptuer's name for example is axion
[17:10] <tsolox> nw15062: she's 5000 miles from me now...
[17:10] <SurfnKid> and it says, unable to find axion by the gethostbyname
[17:10] <nw15062> I see well thats going to be tough
[17:10] <wols_> SurfnKid: add acien to /etc/hosts
[17:11] <SurfnKid> ok brb
[17:11] <SurfnKid> :)
[17:11] <tsolox> whoever invented that "routine check drives"...needs to better check his code
[17:11] <nw15062> you could also find out by disableling quiet and splash i the boot parameters through grub
[17:11] <tsolox> nw15062: how can i do that, she only knows to click a button...
[17:12] <^grand_champa^> i need cybercafe billing and auto recovery (like deepfreeze) on my kubuntu. can anybody help me?
[17:12] <nw15062> the computer probably has a corrupted secotr or damage to the platter so it keeps analyzing
[17:12] <LimCore> why it takes so long to get eclipse 3.3 to repo
[17:12] <nnull> wols_ to check for init loading is it just in services?
[17:12] <nw15062> well our out of luck have her use the live cd till you can get it fied
[17:12] <tsolox> i carefully prepared her dualboot setup..and now only Windows XP survives....sort of make me think that Windows still is the system to go...
[17:12] <tavi> a strategy game for linux?
[17:12] <Pici> !games > tavi
[17:13] <tsolox> very disappointed with Ubuntu...its just eye candy on the surface but ... crap in side...
[17:13] <compengi> O.o
[17:13]  * maxb is extremlely confused
[17:13] <arpegius> tsolox: its debian inside. go tell that to #debian :-P
[17:13] <nw15062> tsolox the only way to fix it is A. walk her through it B. travel to fix it or C. walk her through a reinstall. but if the hard disk drive has issue then it will simply happen again.
[17:13] <maxb> Somehow X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true in a desktop file is preventing it being shown in GNOME
[17:14] <LimCore> tsolox: unfortunatelly; btw this is offtopic here, try ##club-ubuntu
[17:14] <nw15062> tsolox it is a power house underneath dont blame software for hardware issues dont blam computers for human error.
[17:14] <nnull> anyone tell me how i check my init.d to see if clam is running in background always pls
[17:14] <Pici> LimCore: Please don't advertise  non ubuntu channels here.
[17:14] <LimCore> Pici: right, ##club-ubuntu is about slackware, as the name says
[17:15] <nw15062> tsolox if your sister can only ckicl then maybe she is not quit ready for ubuntu or ubuntu is not quit ready for her.
[17:15] <tsolox> I love ubuntu....she paid me to set that up, and i told it's going to be the best setup ever..Dualboot with XP an ubuntu.Apparently, XP is more robust..
[17:15] <whabo> help .. how do you delete a file manually threw terminal. there is a file i am trying to delete and it is telling me access denied .. it is clamav i tried to uninstall it did but the file is still there with the hidden files under Home
[17:15] <LimCore> tsolox: what happened - why ubuntu stoped booting
[17:16] <LimCore> whabo: rm filename    or try   sudo rm filename
[17:16] <nw15062> whabo you need to use the sudo command prior to rm
[17:16] <tsolox> LimCore: it used to work while she was on 1 week vacation before returning to NY. And i was proud for the setup...now she;s in NY..and it stopped booting...hang up on "routine check drives" durig boot
[17:16] <whabo> thx
[17:17] <nw15062> unbuntu does nto simply break usually human intervention or hardware failure will break it
[17:17] <caffe_espresso> Hi all
[17:17] <compengi> hello
[17:17] <nw15062> in on occasion a distro upgrade
[17:17] <tsolox> and I convinced here about Linux..and ubuntu..but now, Im embarassed
[17:17] <LimCore> tsolox: I seen ubuntu to fail totally to boot after working for some time - but I think its harddrive problem
[17:17] <nnull> freshclam is just a program to update virus defs yea?
[17:17] <whabo> Should i type in the Path or just the hidden file name (.clamav) ?
[17:17] <nw15062> tsolox sorry I cant help you I have to go.
[17:18] <aconrad> hi, I have a 64 bit ubuntu, would it be possible to totally switch it to the 32 bit version without reinstalling the whole thing ?

[17:19] <aconrad> maxb, wouldn't apt-get be able to download all 32 bit packages and replace the 64 bit version ?
[17:20] <compengi> whabo, then rm -R /home/yourpath/to/directory (if you want to delete a direcotry) for files use only rm
[17:20] <maxb> aconrad: well there's certainly no supported way to tell it to do that

[17:31] <Led_Zeppelin> anyone know if Google Chrmore works on Linux?
[17:31] <timthelion> Led_Zeppelin: It will in the comming weeks or months but not yet, unless it does under wine...
[17:31] <rski> Led_Zeppelin there is a port so i guess.
[17:32] <xyong22> google chrmore worke on windows only
[17:32] <erUSUL> timthelion: that's intentinal sudo runs with the "root" envoirment not with the user's doing otherways would be a secuirty risk
[17:32] <z3r04> i can't find my hard drive
[17:32] <z3r04> the problem is that it isn't listed under places
[17:32] <z3r04> of when i click on computer
[17:32] <Teisei> Led_Zeppelin, try Wine ?

[17:33] <pi-meson> or, is there any way to restart X without losing my running apps? or just restart the window manager without losing my running apps?
[17:33] <SurfnKid> wols_: it worked, i added <IP_ADDRESS> with the computer name and it worked, however i restarte it and it didnt work again, so i added it to the hosts list
[17:33] <SurfnKid> thanks :)

[17:33] <nikin> how can set a directory so that every file that is created inside it will be automatically group writeable?
[17:34] <kindofabuzz> pi-meson, with fusion-icon you can reload the WM, don't know what the actual command would be
[17:34] <erUSUL> timthelion: /root/
[17:34] <nnull> ozo, works fine in X, but when i watch my boot process it fails... which i beleive would allow a small amount of time for my IPtables not to be set correctly?
[17:34] <compengi> pi-meson, no, only x-server is gui. if you restart it then all gui applications terminate. but all the applications in terminal keep running
[17:34] <z3r04> how can i check my hardware in command line?
[17:34] <Ab3L> hello
[17:34] <pi-meson> compengi: what about just restarting the window manager?
[17:34] <Pici> z3r04: sudo lshw
[17:34] <erUSUL> z3r04: "sudo fdisk -l" should list all hd/partitions on a system
[17:34] <techbee> anyone  can recommend me  any  pppoe program
[17:35] <nikin> z3r04: what doyou mean by check hardware?
[17:35] <compengi> pi-meson, you mean nautilus?
[17:35] <z3r04> thx
[17:35] <erUSUL> techbee: pppoeconf ?
[17:35] <pi-meson> compengi: well, compiz/metacity/whatever
[17:35] <bcase> Where are the settings saved when I use the ATI Control Center to make display changes? I seem to lose them everytime I restart/logout.
[17:35] <pi-meson> unless you think it might be nautilus that is cuasing the problem
[17:35] <techbee> erUSUL, thanx any  gui program for it
[17:35] <prince_jammys> pi-meson: try it. for example, alt f2 and 'metacity --replace'
[17:36] <erUSUL> techbee: have you tried the pppoe plugin for network manager? o system>Admin>Net ?
[17:36] <kindofabuzz> pi-meson, oh do a compiz --replace or metacity --replace
[17:36] <compengi> pi-meson, depending on your problem. you didn't specify it
[17:36] <nikin> how can set a directory so that every file that is created inside it will be automatically chmod 775 ?

[17:36] <dlabz> hi, all. My system is dead, so i want to copy /home folder using live cd to another hdd, but it gives me "access denied" and doesn't let me access the folder. Someone could help?

[17:36] <techbee> erUSUL, noop
[17:36] <pi-meson> alas, while that appears to have successfully restarted my wm, it didn't fix the problem

[17:38] <erUSUL> techbee: no problem
[17:38] <dlabz> compengi: tried sudo cd /home/myuername/ but i think i did it wrong
[17:38] <pi-meson> kindofabuzz: for some reason, I can't switch focus between windows. Alt-tab does nothing, and my mouse moves but the clicks have no effect. I can type into the currently-focused window, however, and can bring up new windows (which get focus) like alt-f2
[17:38] <prince_jammys> d1g1talpsyko: you can't cd using sudo alone. cd is a shell builtin.

[18:01] <Phantal> anolis, the remote machine may have tunneling disabled in its sshd config
[18:01] <rich_> just trie that

[18:05] <JuJuBee> outbackwifi : telling me no interfaces to listen on...

[18:06] <mib_egtamk> outbackwifi: I don't have it.
[18:06] <argento> russe11, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy
[18:06] <JuJuBee> I have a subnet declaration for my internal LAN NIC.
[18:06] <outbackwifi> Jujubee: a) do you have any interfaces at all? b) are they specified in dhcpd.conf?
[18:06] <mib_egtamk> can I sudo apt or do I have to download?
[18:06] <russe11> argento, IdleOne, Yeah, I've got all of them, but if argento thinks kernel -19 will fix it I can wait.
[18:06] <outbackwifi> you can sudo aptitude and select which jdk
[18:06] <JuJuBee> a) Yes, 2 Internal and External  b) only the internal via a subnet declaration
[18:07] <argento> russe11, there is a -19 kernel
[18:07] <ashmew2> This amount of active participation in the IRC wasnt expected by me ....GREAT!

[18:09] <Cutter> it's recognized in Windows and Linux but I can't boot on it
[18:09] <boink> well, I need to upgrade from dapper to hardy
[18:09]  * outbackwifi thinks obama has the biggest probem
[18:09] <boink> but you need to upgrade to edgy first
[18:09] <boink> or not?
[18:09] <Bob_Dole> 8-+67
[18:09]  * boink wants to use the latest LTS
[18:09] <m0u5e> boink: i'd recommend a clean install... you can copy your home over, and everything should work by default
[18:10] <boink> sure, but I don't have a latest LTS CD
[18:10] <boink> so, that's it?
[18:10] <m0u5e> boink: if you reformat, your system will probably be less clunky, and won't experience any weird upgrade bugs
[18:10] <boink> no more edgy? it's been wiped from the face of the earth?
[18:10] <nn64> boink, you need what is called a distrobution upgrade
[18:10] <m0u5e> Szadowek: just go ahead and ask ;-)

[18:10] <nn64> boink, you do not need a cd for that upgrade but you may have to do the upgrade sevral times
[18:10]  * outbackwifi is getting edgier by the minute
[18:11] <JuJuBee> outbackwifi : thanks for jogging my memory.  Turns out /etc/default/dhcpd3-server ... INTERFACES=eth1 not eth0 as needed.  Just got done updating the server...must have changed it and I did not notice.

[18:11] <boink> aargh
[18:11] <m0u5e> Cutter: did you install grub?
[18:11] <boink> why did they wipe edgy from all of the servers?
[18:11] <jester7> heya guys.  would there be a way to have links run at startup on one of the v terminals on ubuntu server?
[18:11] <outbackwifi> jujubee: im glad you managed to solve yer prob
[18:11] <nn64> boink, i know its anoying but its so nothing gets messed up or intangled
[18:11] <Cutter> m0u5e: no, in fact I'm trying to install Windows XP
[18:11] <JuJuBee> With your help... Thanks
[18:11] <boink> though, I'll try to get a hardy CD now
[18:11] <boink> dapper was a great release, though
[18:11] <Cutter> but I thought Linux tools would help
[18:11] <guido79> Hi guys, anyone figures out how to solve this make error ? I can paste the makefile as well... Thanks ! http://pastie.org/265339
[18:11] <outbackwifi> Cutter: this is Ubuntu ; try WindBlows
[18:12] <ninuuz> hi, how can I _force_ all audio to going through my USB soundcard?
[18:12] <boink> if I have a hardy CD, can I do the upgrade that way?
[18:12] <boink> just put in the CD in and upgrade?
[18:12] <outbackwifi> ninuuz: alsasound.rc
[18:12] <Cutter> outbackwifi: what's that?
[18:12] <phiqtion> boink: jesus christ yes, go to the wiki and read
[18:12] <ninuuz> outbackwifi, what to type in konsole?
[18:12] <boink> oh? I need to rtfm?
[18:12] <boink> dear me
[18:12] <outbackwifi> Cutter: if you want to install Windows XP; this is not the place
[18:13] <m0u5e> Cutter: well, i'd go ahead and install XP first, then when you want grub back, reinstall it, or reinstall linux
[18:13] <cyix> Where might I look to increase my resolution to 1024x768 on my toshiba satellite? I'm 800x600 now, but 1024x768 isn't listed as available.
[18:13] <m0u5e> boink: hardy is also good :D
[18:13] <boink> yes, it's quite good
[18:13] <boink> I'll stay with the LTS releases

[18:14] <filthpig> I'm having an odd problem with my mom's Eee PC (900): The webcam won't work o_O I thought this was supported out-of-the-box? It did work with the default Asus/Xandros OS..
[18:14] <phiqtion> lol
[18:14] <clj[afk]> anyone have experience with lilo + raid1 ??
[18:14] <prince_jammys> !nvidia | chandrashekhar
[18:14] <blip-> pretty much
[18:14] <clj[afk]> i cant seem to install lilo on a raid1 device
[18:15] <cyix> it's a Trident CyberBlade XP2 AGP
[18:15] <clj[afk]> i have /dev/md0 = (raid1) /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 + /dev/sdc1
[18:15] <ninuuz> outbackwifi, what to type in konsole?
[18:16] <guido79> cyix uhm... I don't know, anyway think you could have to install some driver for it...
[18:16] <glitsj16> guido79: the error you pasted indicates you need to run 'make' from the dir mentioned in OUTPATH
[18:16] <nn64> filthpig, web cams are not genurally suported very well by linux. although there is a library and program called gphoto2 that will support cams that store photos taken when the camera is not attached to the computer.
[18:16] <cyix> m'k, thanks
[18:16] <guido79> cyx Otherwise, the full resolution should have been automatically recognized...
[18:16] <ninuuz> how do i edit alsasound.rc?

[18:17] <guido79> ninuuz gedit alsasound.rc (as superuser)
[18:17] <ninuuz> guido79, where is it located?
[18:17] <guido79> glitsj16 Thanks, gonna try !
[18:17] <guido79> ninuuz what, the alsasound.rc ?
[18:18] <Iradieh> How do get to my ubuntu home folder from OS X?
[18:18] <outbackwifi> ninuuz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012
[18:18] <ninuuz> yes, the alsasound.rc guido79
[18:18] <outbackwifi> just follow it to the letter
[18:18] <guido79> ninuuz ask to the guy who gave you the advice, or find it with the search utility...
[18:18] <outbackwifi> Iradieh: are they on the same machine
[18:18] <Iradieh> outbackwifi: no same LAN though
[18:18] <Iradieh> Dont wanna use SCP all the time
[18:18] <guido79> ninuuz you need to set the usb audio as the default card ?
[18:19] <outbackwifi> Iradieh: use NFS
[18:19] <Iradieh> NFS?
[18:19] <Guest64152> oi
[18:19] <outbackwifi> !info nfs
[18:19] <outbackwifi> network file system
[18:19] <filthpig> nn64, I know the story about webcams, but the driver does exist since the webcam actually did work with xandros, so I find it odd that it's not included in ubuntu (well I'm actually using the ubuntu eee-edition)
[18:19] <ay^> where do I download vmware *something* thats free?
[18:19] <outbackwifi> nfs mount the ubuntu home folder in mac
[18:20] <ninuuz> guido79, I cant ask my little brother his a windows-dude. But i guess it should be set to default, yes.
[18:20] <outbackwifi> ay^: not in #ubuntu
[18:20] <ay^> outbackwifi: you sure?
[18:20] <Iradieh> outbackwifi: wanna say HOW?
[18:20] <guido79> ninuuz uhm, wait...
[18:20] <outbackwifi> iradieh: google

[18:21] <nn64> filthpig, try looking threw the package system for the modules package needed for your webcam.
[18:21] <ninuuz> outbackwifi, im using Kubuntu
[18:21] <pedro> how can i setup something to start with ubuntu?
[18:21] <Daisuke_Ido> !vmware | ay^
[18:21] <filthpig> pedro, system - prefs - sessions
[18:22] <glitsj16> ninuuz: check http://alsa.opensrc.org/FAQ026 for help on setting the default ALSA device
[18:22] <Daisuke_Ido> outbackwifi: check your info before giving advice, please
[18:22] <outbackwifi> ninuuz: thats just the different window manager
[18:22] <ay^> Daisuke_Ido: thanks a bunch
[18:22] <rich_> NN64........have you tried the ELISA for playing wmv files?
[18:22] <Daisuke_Ido> ay^: honestly, your best bet would be virtualbox - it's completely free (not just the vm player), and in my experience is a bit quicker as well
[18:22] <outbackwifi> Daisuke_Ido: ok, but he needed to google first and then ask her right?
[18:23] <Iradieh> kindofabuzz: Is it possible to do so wihtout installing anything
[18:23] <Daisuke_Ido> outbackwifi: no, he can ask here.
[18:23] <Iradieh> kindofabuzz: how do I enable samba?
[18:23] <guido79> ninuuz go to a terminal as a superuser, and give: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[18:23] <Iradieh> kindofabuzz: You could easikly enable samba in older ubuntu
[18:23] <Daisuke_Ido> !virtualbox > ay^
[18:23] <rich_> i get an error report
[18:23] <kindofabuzz> Iradieh, sure, just think real hard and it will work.  of course you have to install something lol
[18:23] <ninuuz> kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0
[18:23] <ninuuz>     guido79
[18:23] <_moro_bana_> can i use vpnc on ms pptp ?
[18:24] <kindofabuzz> Iradieh, actually i don't really know what you're trying to do, i just saw something about NFS
[18:24] <ay^> Daisuke_Ido: yeah I tried virtualbox an qemu but I need/want to install vista in the virtual machine, neither of those seemed to manage that
[18:24] <pedro> filthpig: if something goes wrong is it easy to revert what i've setup there?
[18:24] <nn64> rich_, No I haven't. From what I have seen, Mplayer has the most formats and capability as well as the most consistent player I know of.
[18:24] <Daisuke_Ido> ah, then yeah, check out vmware server or vmware player
[18:25] <guido79> ninuuz, what's the problem ? Tried the command I suggested ?
[18:25] <ninuuz> yes, guido79 - could we speak in PM?
[18:25] <ay^> Daisuke_Ido: thanks again!
[18:25] <pedro> filthpig: i added fusion-icon (compiz fusion icon) but im worried because when i run that on alt f2 it restart the whole compiz again, that could slow down my boot, couldnt it?
[18:25] <filthpig> pedro, it's no problem; If you've done something wrong, the program simply won't start.
[18:25] <guido79> ninuuz I guess yes
[18:26] <guido79> ninuuz what's PM ?
[18:26] <Iradieh> kindofabuzz: Well I installed samba
[18:26] <ninuuz> private message guido79
[18:26] <Iradieh> and I shared it
[18:26] <Iradieh> and it still didnt work
[18:26] <prabu_> pm means personal message
[18:26] <guido79> ninuuz Try, I never done it.
[18:26] <Iradieh> and kindofabuzz dont be a condescending dick, I asked if there is tools already
[18:27] <kindofabuzz> Iradieh, quit being a newb and don't be afraid to install something
[18:27] <alpha232> without a total redownload/reinstall is there a way i can get the optomized kernel for my P4 with HT?
[18:27] <filthpig> pedro, I'm not experienced with the fusion-icon, but I guess you're doing something wrong with some parameters
[18:28] <magnetron> alpha232, the -generic *is* optimized for p4
[18:28] <alpha232> Linux chef 2.6.24-19-386 #1 Wed Aug 20 21:59:50 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[18:28] <alpha232> hmmm ok
[18:28] <filthpig> pedro, if you use this command: "fusion-icon --no-start" compiz will not be started anew
[18:28] <alpha232> i see 386 and i wonder
[18:28] <amal029> just build the kernel from the git tree
[18:29] <filthpig> pedro, without the quotation marks, of course
[18:29] <B3z3rk3r> Hey guys
[18:29] <alpha232> magnetron: so all i need to do is enable   ht=on   in my grub.lst
[18:29] <alpha232> er grub/menu.lst that is
[18:29] <B3z3rk3r> need some help with compiz on an HP
[18:30] <rsc_> what is it B3z3rk3r ?
[18:30] <IdleOne> alpha232: search in Synaptic for your kernel with -generic
[18:30] <filthpig> !ask | B3z3rk3r
[18:30] <IdleOne> alpha232: then install it and reboot to that kernel
[18:30] <pedro> thanks filthpig, i'll try it

[18:32] <B3z3rk3r> grr
[18:32] <magnetron> RoshanK, you need to replace it with the backup you made before you started editing the file. you made a backup, right?
[18:32] <RoshanK> magnetron, yes i did, theres xorg.mysave and xorg.backup but they seem to be messed up too, lemme show you in pastebins
[18:33] <magnetron> RoshanK, when i say "a backup", i mean a backup that you did not edit.
[18:33] <wellson-Almeida> oi
[18:33] <wellson-Almeida> oi
[18:33] <alpha232> IdleOne: whats the difference between -server and -generic?
[18:33] <Iradieh> Can someone please tell me why Shared Folder from Admin menu isnt in ubuntu 8 http://www.moixo.com/es/sharing-files-folders-from-ubuntu-to-mac-os-x
[18:34] <magnetron> wellson-Almeida, oj!
[18:34] <darjeeling> alpha232 -server is compact system for server
[18:34] <IdleOne> alpha232: the -server is the server kernel I guess and generic is optimised like magnetron stated. I don't know the exact differences
[18:35] <magnetron> Iradieh, they moved it to the folder properties. right click any folder and select the sharing properties in that menu
[18:35] <alpha232> darjeeling: i'm trying to find out what  is or is not in it
[18:35] <alpha232> darjeeling: i won't be running X thats for sure :D
[18:35] <RoshanK> magnetron, i dont believe i edited a backup. but i attempted to backup and nothing seemed to work
[18:35] <darjeeling> alpha232 in that case use -server =)
[18:35] <chandrashekhar> thanks ubottu :)
[18:36] <magnetron> RoshanK, did you make the backup when things were ok?
[18:36] <RoshanK> magnetron, this is whats in mysave which according to googline seems to be the backup that is made http://pastebin.com/m77143763

[18:52] <tapas> and then dpkg-reconfigure ...
[18:52] <tapas> i thing reconfigure doesn't touch modified installed files..
[18:52] <compengi> tapas, someones reconfigure makes things worse
[18:53] <compengi> RoshanK, you could try logging into cd live session and copy that xorg.conf file generate and replace it with the real one

[19:11] <Lemont> Well --- how do you disable the screensaver
[19:11] <WeezWrk> anyone know of a software that will run on a linux client and clone a local folder to a remote nas drive in real time?
[19:11] <vorkosigan> hi here
[19:11] <peepsalot> anyone know how I can install subversion 1.5?
[19:11] <tdn> WeezWrk, you can boot from NFS.
[19:11] <arooni-mobile> hey
[19:12] <ThisIsMyNewName> hola
[19:12] <tdn> WeezWrk, oh. That was not what you were looking for. Sorry.
[19:12] <mib_km5822> the directory i looking for would have tools.jar but $locate tools.jar returns nothing... how to get a jdk and find directory that has tools.jar?
[19:12] <WeezWrk> tdn im looking for a backup solution but not one that runs daily, like in windows there is a program called folderclone that works great
[19:13] <WeezWrk> if i cahnge a file locally it changes it automatically on the remote drive in real time
[19:13] <Pici> WeezWrk: rsync perhaps?
[19:13] <compengi> Lemont, go to system>preferences>screen saver and disable it from there
[19:13] <magnetron> WeezWrk, there are a lot of different backup alternatives available for ubuntu, most of them are based on the rsync system
[19:13] <magnetron> !backup | WeezWrk
[19:13] <WeezWrk> thanks guys i will read up a bit on rsync, im rather new to linux

[19:15] <nuub> is there any way to get partition tables except "fdisk -l" ?
[19:15] <magnetron> nuub, blkid. they both need sudo, though

[19:16] <varsendaggr> hey there I need to import information i have in .xls to a database like kexi   i have tried google searching but i can't find anything helpful
[19:17] <arooni-mobile> say i have a pdf document on ubuntu hardy... how do i type over it (to fill in forms)... converting to open office word doc would work as well.  anyway, is there a way to do this?
[19:17] <kindofabuzz> zendo, see if this helps you any: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=688625&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
[19:17] <nuub> it doesnt return the partition names(or i can figure em out) as they have to be entered in GRUB
[19:17] <peepsalot> varsendaggr, never heard of kexi.  open office.org should support opening your xls though.  then maybe you can save it to an intermediate format, if kexi doesn't support xls directly

[19:20] <frits> Hi, when i try to play an mp3 with totem my freshly installed Ubuntu system completely crashes, i can' t even switch to a different tty and the syslog doesnt show any errors. How can i find out what's causing these crashes?
[19:20] <zendo> nuub: thanks for effort but it still doesnt work...
[19:20] <kindofabuzz> zendo, read all those posts, could be one of the bugs mentioned too
[19:20] <compengi> frits, that was a bug in x-server. did you upgrade your system for new patches?
[19:20] <shivamib> frits: dunno if it should crash but for mp3 you'd need the restricted-extras package
[19:21] <shivamib> afaik
[19:21] <Ayabara> is it possible to adjust the way nautilus selects files? if I'm on a file in a folder and press shift+home, I want it to select all files above, but it only makes a rectangular selection from where I am standing
[19:21] <Ayabara> hmm. hope that made some sense
[19:21] <peepsalot> is there a magic secret repository where i can get subversion client 1.5?
[19:21] <Ayabara> are there any good alternatives to nautilus?
[19:21] <arooni-mobile> say i have a pdf document on ubuntu hardy... how do i type over it (to fill in forms)... converting to open office word doc would work as well.  anyway, is there a way to do this?
[19:21] <frits> shivamib, i installed the restricted extras package
[19:21] <peepsalot> Ayabara, tried thunar?
[19:22] <frits> compengi, let me check the updates
[19:22] <Ayabara> peepsalot: no, but I will now :)
[19:22] <kindofabuzz> zendo, did you start FF with profile manager and make sure offlin is not ticked?

[19:27] <nandemonai> allen, what sort of video card?
[19:28] <m0u5e> my screen just gets really blurry (probably because i have compiz blur plugin enabled and probably cause screensaver uses a black overlay)

[19:34] <assargadon> I hear Ubuntu login sound pretty fine. But is I trying to use Ekiga (and in other places like some films viewing) - the sound is very-very silent.
[19:34] <nandemonai> allen, log out then back in. (ie restart the X server) then once back in go to system -> prefs -> appearance -> visual effects
[19:34] <allen> ok
[19:34] <allen> brb
[19:34] <tdn> !rt73
[19:34] <assargadon> I think it may be caused by I have tv-tuner card installed on my box...I remove it, but nothing changed.

[19:36] <EvolutionXtinct> !NTFS-3g

[19:37] <allen> what i have to do ?
[19:37] <bobertdos> !hello | Minty
[19:37] <Grenyaris> geodome: Sandra is a program that identifies all hardware, and provides testing and benchmarking for each item...

[19:37] <lubosz1> hi, where do i find the conig files, which restricted modules are loaded on startup? the one with "nv" for the nvidia driver module :D
[19:38] <nandemonai> allen, either pick normal or extra, whichever you prefer.
[19:38] <jerone_moblie> lubosz1: /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[19:38] <allen> ok
[19:38] <allen> and then ?
[19:38] <nandemonai> And then.. it should work.
[19:39] <|Dreams|> i reinstalled ubuntu yesterday and set up ICS for my ps3 and 360 like i have done many time before and now my xbox and ps3 keep giving me dns errors and the dns serer addressis correct
[19:39] <lubosz1> jerone_moblie: no, the one for the kernel. it was another conig, i forgot the path
[19:39] <lubosz1> kernel moduek

[19:40] <jerone_moblie> lubosz1: look in /etc/modprobe.d directory
[19:40] <allen> i mean an animation of closing window
[19:40] <carlba> Does anybody now xrandr?
[19:40] <nandemonai> allen, by default it should fade out.
[19:40] <Ikelos> Excuse me, not a technical question, but I recently un-archived a .tbz2 file, specifically the one used for stone soup's dungeon crawl (v4.3) , and none of the read-me files inside the new directory state what the make/compile command should be... Does anyone happen to know this tidbit of info? I have googled this... Its being particularly difficult to find...
[19:40] <lubosz1> jerone_moblie: thx. i found  /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[19:40] <w0ls0n> hello all. When I reboot my box, my /backup drive goes away even though the entry is in /etc/fstab. Can someone give me a hand?

[19:40] <jerone_moblie> lubosz1: the kernel module is loaded when the driver is initialized .. meaning if "nvidia" driver is not in xorg.conf it will not be loaded
[19:40] <jerone_moblie> lubosz1: ah ok
[19:41] <angusthefuzz> carlba: what would you like to do with xrandr?
[19:41] <NeB1> what is the link to get Kubuntu  ?

[19:47] <allen> btw, how can i uninstall something ?
[19:47] <Vock> I'd really prefer not to have to reinstall ubuntu
[19:48] <nandemonai> Vock, sounds like you need to chroot to your install from the livecd.
[19:48] <noodlesgc> peter__ try looking in system->preferences->screen resolution
[19:48] <nandemonai> allen, sudo apt-get remove program or add/remove or synaptic package manager.
[19:48] <nandemonai> allen, I'd suggest reading over the ubuntu guide, lots of info there.
[19:48] <allen> i will
[19:49] <Vock> nandemonai: I'm new to linux, not entirely sure what that means...
