[07:48] <usser> Laurus, do you need the data on there? if not i see no harm in deleting it. why waste perfectly good 128mb
[07:49] <troublesh00ter> hello
[07:49] <Laurus> usser: No I don't need any of the data, I've already copied it all to my laptop HD. I was just worried that if I deleted the last remaining partition, I wouldn't be able to create a new one or something.
[07:49] <jordan_> how do you know if you ubuntu 64 bit or 32 bit installed
[07:50] <usser> Laurus, no you should not have any such problem.
[07:50] <Laurus> usser: Okay I'm going to try deleting it then :)
[07:50] <Gnea> xpot: you said you were able to convert the .rpm to .deb and install that, right?
[07:50] <Gnea> Trevski13: i'm not sure then - that other thread seemed to have it all outlined just fine
[07:51] <Laurus> usser: Do you recommend ext3 as a file system?
[07:51] <xpot> it installed with errors... from that point on I have been left with this broken aptitude situation... I tried reinstall and remove with no d
[07:51] <xpot> * no dice
[07:51] <Gnea> xpot: is there a copy of the .deb in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?
[07:51] <gino541> thank you very much :-)
[07:51] <Gnea> gino541: cheers :)
[07:51] <xpot> Gnea: checking...
[07:52] <jordan_> or does it automattically use 64 bit if it is using a 64 bit processor
[07:52] <Gnea> jordan_: depends if you installed 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu
[07:52] <usser> Laurus, yea ext3 is pretty much standard choice nowadays
[07:52] <worre> the paste whic you asked me yesterday is here http://pastebin.com/m3310d27c
[07:52] <Laurus> usser: Okay. Thank you so much for all your help!
[07:52] <Gnea> jordan_: uname -m
[07:53] <jordan_> how do you know it came with hardy and i upgraded to intrepid
[07:53] <usser> Laurus, no problem
[07:53] <marky_mark> hello, i just installed Ubuntu. im a new Linux user. problem is it's been freezing a lot with caps lock blinking. i think it mainly happens when im updating. i tried looking up online but saw a lot of terms i didnt understand. any help would be greatly appreciated
[07:53] <jordan_> i686
[07:53] <Gnea> jordan_: it's 32-bit
[07:53] <Trevski13> Gnea: it doesn't even have a solution to his problem does it? the only thing that would be leads nowhere :(
[07:53] <jordan_> MF
[07:53] <jordan_> those idiots
[07:53] <Gnea> !language | jordan_
[07:53] <xpot> Gnea: negative... no copy of .dep in /var/cache/apt/archives
[07:53] <Gnea> xpot: okay - you still have it somewhere else?
[07:54] <jordan_> ok is it easy to upgrade it to 64
[07:54] <jordan_> i will be installing 4 gb of ram
[07:54] <Gnea> jordan_: it would require a re-installation
[07:54] <worre> where i can get that smp?
[07:54] <ammagendut> hi there
[07:54] <usser> marky_mark, thats called kernel panic it means there's something seriously wrong with your installation could be malfunctioning or badly written/partially supported driver
[07:54] <jordan_> omg
[07:54] <xpot> Gnea: negative... after unsucessful attempts I rm'ed it... i can re-create it if I need it??
[07:54] <ammagendut> does ubuntu have p2p software?
[07:54] <Gnea> jordan_: if it was 64bit, the result of uname -m would be this:  x86_64
[07:55] <Gnea> !p2p | ammagendut
[07:55] <jordan_> and 32 bit if its i686
[07:55] <Gnea> jordan_: correct.
[07:55] <grumbel> I want to rebuild a package with a custom patch applied, how do I set the version number properly for that so that it doesn't confuse apt-get to much?
[07:55] <jordan_> i can't believe dell i hope everything still works
[07:55] <Laurus> usser: Ever heard of the error "Partition map has no partition map entry!" ?
[07:56] <Gnea> jordan_: heh, did some sales person on the phone tell you that it'd be the 64bit flavor?
[07:56] <jordan_> no, but why not make it 64bit
[07:56] <jordan_> does hardy come with 64 bit?
[07:56] <worre> hey guys i am serious. i need that smp
[07:56] <Gnea> jordan_: never assume.
[07:57] <Gnea> there is a 64-bit version of hardy
[07:57]  * Gnea looks oddly at worre
[07:57] <jordan_> ok so I need to reinstall and wipe out everything?
[07:57] <ammagendut> Gnea: is that p2p software for ubuntu? i have try to download but my ubuntu cant find the package
[07:57] <Gnea> jordan_: if you have anything important, back it up first - but basically, yeah
[07:58] <Gnea> ammagendut: yes, there are tons of p2p programs for ubuntu
[07:58] <jordan_> theres a dell rescue dvd image
[07:58] <Gnea> jordan_: is that on a separate partition? if so, you should leave that partition alone.
[07:58] <ammagendut> Gnea: ok thanks.. i'll go to the page
[07:58] <jordan_> not sure
[07:59]  * xpot sends props to Gnea for managing such a busy room by himself. -=0)
[07:59] <Gnea> jordan_: well, get your 64bit cd/dvd and see what it says - or install gparted and see for yourself
[07:59] <Gnea> :)
[07:59] <jordan_> i already made the dell rescue dvd image
[07:59] <usser> Laurus, no. it says when you try to create a partition?
[08:00] <Gnea> jordan_: oh, I misunderstood - sorry
[08:00] <Laurus> usser: No, when I try to delete the first 8 "unknown" partitions, sdb1 through sdb8.
[08:00] <Laurus> usser: They're all 256Kb or less.
[08:00] <jordan_> i just got it today so i don't need to back up either
[08:01] <jordan_> i'm worried there were drivers packaged that i will need
[08:01] <Gnea> i doubt it
[08:02]  * xpot pings Gnea to make sure he's not forgotten in this mess. ;)
[08:02] <jordan_> anyway is using 32bit os on 64bit processor wasting half the processor?
[08:02] <Gnea> ubuntu typically comes with every driver that it needs, for the most part
[08:02] <Laurus> usser: I think I'll try to reformat all of the 8 weird partitions
[08:02] <Laurus> usser: And THEN delete them :p
[08:02] <Paddy_EIRE> jordan_no
[08:02] <Gnea> xpot: blah!!! is it the same version they have on the site?
[08:02] <Trevski13> jordan_ um.... no
[08:02] <xpot> Gnea: yes
[08:03] <Gnea> xpot: then yeah, it should work... in theory.
[08:03] <ammagendut> ubuntu is anomity for windows virus.. but can those virus stay in ubuntu and then copy itself into usb flash?
[08:03] <xpot> Gnea: VMware Server 2
[08:03] <jordan_> so it would be slower using a 64bit os
[08:04] <Gnea> jordan_: using 64bit would be faster, plus it'll recognize and use more than 4gigs of ram
[08:04] <rakudave> but it will also fill more ram
[08:04] <xpot> Gnea: I have already attempted to re-install and uninstall without success.   If it cant delete it, theres something really wrong.
[08:04] <jordan_> ok so if its not wasting half the processor how would using a 64bit os be faster I don't understand that
[08:04] <usser> Laurus, you are not booting from hdd you're trying to reformat are you?
[08:04] <Laurus> usser: Ok, I see.
[08:05] <Laurus> usser: I think I forgot to unmount it first.
[08:05] <Laurus> usser: That's probably the problem.
[08:05] <Gnea> xpot: it's looking for the original .deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives/  so cleaning out would not be a good idea.
[08:05] <Laurus> usser: I'll be right back, I'm going to reboot, plug it in, and see what happens.
[08:06] <xpot> Gnea: I see.  Do you think recreating the .deb and throwing it in ../apt/archives then removing will do the trick?  (just trying to figure
[08:06] <xpot>  my next step)
[08:06] <Gnea> xpot: it might
[08:06] <xpot> Gnea: thank you much.  Going to give it a shot.
[08:06] <Trevski13> jordan_: yes Gnea is right, 32 won't quite recognize 4 GBs 64 recognizes something like 16 or 32GB I think (but I wouldn't swear to it) ...... it has to do with addressing I believe but again, I'm not 100% sure
[08:07] <Trevski13> *32 vs 64 has do to with addressing I believe
[08:09] <zurn> ware
[08:09] <jordan_> but you can load 2 32bit instructions in a 64bit processor
[08:09] <Trevski13> jordan_: no, it's not that simple
[08:10] <jordan_> ok why does it say amd64
[08:10] <jordan_> does that matter i have intell
[08:11] <Light-> jordan_, ope
[08:11] <Light-> nope*
[08:11] <troublesh00ter> Hello, somebody known about ipwraw ?
[08:11] <Light-> jordan_, its amd64 because amd were the first to release 64-bit cpus for the desktop market iirc
[08:11] <smacky> how do I install and play a game besides using Wine
[08:12] <Light-> smacky, you need to make sure the game is linux compatible first otherwise you cant
[08:12] <Light-> smacky, UT2004 is a good one
[08:12] <Trevski13> jordan_ exactly, they're just "showing off" that it's 64bit
[08:12] <Gnea> jordan_: the way they made AMD64 is that it supports both AMD and Intel 64bit procs (the AMD64 and EM64T)
[08:13] <nbuntu> excuse me - but when  i use an app with hyperlinks and click them (eg Prism) the link doesnt open in firefox unless firefox is already open.  If firefox isnt open - then it will start, but only at a blank page rather than at the link. Firefox is my dafult browser.  Any ideas?
[08:13] <Laurus> usser: It worked. Thanks for the help there.
[08:13] <usser> Laurus, no problem
[08:13] <BedPost> hey, what should I use for flash in firefox?
[08:13] <Trevski13> jordan_ also all intel processors since core 2 have been 64bit I  believe
[08:13] <smacky> is wine the only Viral deaql i can use ?
[08:14] <rakudave> nbuntu: see if firefox is activated in "system - settings  - preferred apps"
[08:14] <jordan_> yes there pentium4's are 64bit now
[08:14] <nbuntu> rakudave: yes it is
[08:15] <Laurus> usser: One last question: how do I make the drive writable? Right now it's read-only and I can't copy any files to it.
[08:15] <koshar4> Trevski13 64bitcan adress a lot more ram than 32gig
[08:15] <Ev0> are there any first person shooter games like counter-strike for *nix without having to install winE?
[08:15] <troublesh00ter> hello, somebody can help me to install " ipwraw "
[08:15] <nbuntu> Ev0: Alien Arena
[08:15] <Trevski13> jordan_ also I was COMPLETELY über wrong earlier, 64 bit supports up to 16 Exabytes
[08:15] <sfire> my raid array suddenly started doing a check on itself tonight.  Is it programmed to do this after a set time?
[08:15] <Gnea> Ev0: openarena, quake, quake2, quake3, tremulous...
[08:15] <usser> Laurus, what do you mean?
[08:15] <O__o> hi if i change the permission of my home directory to drwxr-x--- , does this create any problem
[08:15] <smacky> Here we go i am trying to install Wow And i dont want to use wine is there something else that i could use  ?
[08:16] <koshar4> Ev0 i beleive there is a quake arena clone, and bzflag
[08:16] <Laurus> usser: The drive seems to be read-only now.
[08:16] <usser> Laurus, did u format it? you mounted it?
[08:16] <Ev0> thank you Gnea, nbuntu
[08:16] <rkpisanu> BedPost, try http://rkpisanu.altervista.org/doku.php?id=ubuntu_post_installazione and search flash
[08:16] <_2> O__o no
[08:16] <kebomix> how to stop people who attack my internet connection using switchsniffer  and net cut on my network ?
[08:16] <Light-> Ev0: urban terror is the closest nix game to counter strike imo
[08:16] <rakudave> ubuntu: then the problem could be prism...
[08:16] <jordan_> yes i thought 64 bits was a lot larger than 32gb that would be 2^36
[08:16] <Gnea> kebomix: setup a firewall using iptables
[08:16] <nbuntu> rakudave: its not just prism that does it
[08:16] <Ev0> Light, it's free?
[08:16] <TheFunkbomb> So I'm getting this weird error from update manager.  "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following..."
[08:17] <Light-> Ev0: yup
[08:17] <worre> smacky, you need wine to play windows games like wow
[08:17] <troublesh00ter> hello Gnea
[08:17] <Ev0> can I get it with synaptic?
[08:17] <rakudave> nbuntu: then i don't know :(
[08:17] <Gnea> troublesh00ter: hi.
[08:17] <_2> O__o 7[0-7][0-5]   wont cause any problems
[08:17] <nbuntu> rakudave: ok thanks anyway
[08:17] <TheFunkbomb> anyone having trouble getting updates?
[08:17] <usser> Laurus, you can just chmod the mount point
[08:17] <Light-> Ev0: nah, get it from their site. dont worry, you just double click the binary and it runs (make sure SDL is installed though)
[08:17] <troublesh00ter> you know the ipwraw driver ?
[08:17] <smacky> Thanks worre
[08:17] <Gnea> nope
[08:17] <usser> Laurus, if you want to it to be mounted on boot add a record to /etc/fstab
[08:18] <Ev0> SDL???????? sorry new to *nix
[08:18] <nbuntu> for anyone else out there:  when  i use an app with hyperlinks and click them (eg Prism or others) the link doesnt open in firefox unless firefox is already open.  If firefox isnt open - then it will start, but only at a blank page rather than at the link. Firefox is my default browser.  Any ideas?
[08:18] <jordan_> so once i download this 64 bit how do i go about installing it over the old one just put in the cd?
[08:18] <Trevski13> jordan_ yeah sorry about that, it's late and I don't think terribly well when it's late :D
[08:18] <troublesh00ter> :(
[08:18] <Laurus> usser: So, run sudo chown -R username:username /media/drive ?
[08:18] <Gnea> TheFunkbomb: works fine here
[08:19] <Light-> Ev0: search "libsdl" in synaptic and install it
[08:19] <Ev0> Thank you Light
[08:19] <Laurus> usser: Works! Excellent, thanks so much :)
[08:19] <_2> Laurus if it's a linux filesystem then that should work
[08:19] <kebomix> Gnea: what is iptables?
[08:19] <Gnea> !iptables | kebomix
[08:19] <usser> Laurus, yep
[08:19] <Trevski13> jordan_ yeah, the easiest (in my opinion) would be to just put the CD in and when you go to choose the location make sure to check the "format partition" check box
[08:20] <Trevski13> that way it'll wipe the partition before the install
[08:20] <usser> Laurus, chown it if you're the only user, if there are more ppl you probably want to chmod it to 777 too
[08:20] <Laurus> usser: Cool, thanks :)
[08:21] <Ketrel> Question, if I'm going to run a program from a terminal, say xcalc, and I want it to not output to the terminal, how would I do that?
[08:21] <Ketrel> xcalc >> /dev/null & didn't work
[08:22] <usser> Ketrel, xcalc > /dev/null &
[08:22] <Dragonfly> Hi there
[08:22] <_2> Ketrel xcalc >/dev/null 2>&1 &
[08:22] <Ketrel> usser: still outputs to terminal
[08:22] <koshar4> jordan_: 2^64 bytes of RAM is something on the order of a billion gigabytes of RAM.
[08:23] <_2> Ketrel it's probably outputting to stderr  thus 2>&1
[08:23] <Ketrel> _2: can you break that down, (I want to understand how it works)
[08:23] <Dragonfly> i need help with Printer sharing ><
[08:24] <_2> Ketrel 2>&1 ties the output of (litterally redirrects it) stderr to stdout   so that the  >/dev/null catches all output
[08:24] <joejc> is it possible to align icons to the right by default?
[08:24] <TheFunkbomb> I have no idea why I'm missing the key :(
[08:25] <Trevski13> hoshar4 I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is yeah 16 million Gigabytes of ram
[08:25] <_2> Ketrel the three main *put's are  0 = stdin   1 = stdout  and  2 = stderr    there are others but that's all most people ever want/need to know about
[08:25] <Ketrel> _2 ah ok, I think I get it, I wish I understood the syntax of that though, but that's something I'll have to read up on I guess
[08:27] <jordan_> is that all koshar4
[08:27] <Ketrel> anyways, thanks _2
[08:28] <Dragonfly> could you guys help me set printer sharing for W****s??? I'm sort of lost
[08:28] <Dragonfly> please
[08:29] <cbill> hey, can someone help me with a libquicktime dependency?
[08:29] <Trevski13> hoshar4 I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000*Terabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is actually 16 billion Gigabytes of ram
[08:29] <_2> Ketrel common > redirrects stdout   while you can specify 1> stdout (redundant)   2> stderr   <<0 stdin     you can pipe them too
[08:30] <TheFunkbomb> I really don't want to have to format this again :(
[08:30] <lenovo> hi all
[08:31] <lenovo> does anyone knows how to run rybka on ubuntu?
[08:31] <Circs> Is there a way to lose all the changes you made to your top gnome bar?
[08:31] <cbill> hi, libquicktime says "libdv:      Missing / Disabled (Go to http://libdv.sourceforge.net)" but i do have it installed
[08:31] <Trevski13> *koshar4 (sorry I wrote your name wrong:D) I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000*Terabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is actually 16 billion Gigabytes of ram
[08:32] <_2> cbill it's not saying it's missing it's saying it's broken.
[08:32] <usser> Pedabytes=Petabytes :)
[08:32] <Circs> I royally messed up my top bar in gnome, how can I fix it?
[08:32] <Sergeant_Pony> rakudave: I found a solution to my problem
[08:33] <cbill> _2, ok trying to fix
[08:33] <_2> cbill the message "Missing / Disabled" is telling you that the library is hosed, has bad syntax which lacks the leading slash
[08:33] <YouBucky> Evening all, how do I change a default icon in Ubuntu, I'd like an icon of my choosing for all SMB shares for example
[08:33] <Trevski13> yes, thank you yay for typos!
[08:33] <cbill> _2 i just fixed it with: ./configure --enable-gpl --with-libdv  :)
[08:33] <usser> Circs, rm -rf ~/.gnome2 that will reset all your modifications though not just top bar
[08:33] <lenovo> can someone tell me how to run rybka under ubuntu?
[08:33] <Circs> usser: Ty
[08:34] <ari_stress> thanks guys, i'm going home now. so sleepy. see u
[08:34] <Circs> usser: Is that command safe, I've seen lots of videos where it breaks stuff
[08:34] <usser> Circs, you will have to logout/login
[08:34] <TheFunkbomb> fixed it!  Thanks internet!
[08:34] <_2> cbill actually you didn't "fix" it, you worked around the issue.  but ok.
[08:35] <usser> Circs, ask around if ppl confirm its safe, never trust a single person's opinion when it comes to rm -rf :)
[08:35] <Circs> usser: Ty
[08:35] <cbill> _2, ah that makes sense, hopefully it works in the end, lol
[08:35] <usser> Circs, i mean ask here if rm -rf ~/.gnome2 is safe
[08:35] <ranol> join #irssi
[08:36] <cbill> _2, its for open movie editor - new version, its tough to install lol
[08:36] <Circs> usser: Actually I'm reading the man page about that command so I know all about it instead of just getting an answer
[08:36] <joejc> Is it possible to align desktop icons to the right by default?
[08:37] <_2> cbill yeah, lot of bugs yet.   but that's what you get with bleeding edge
[08:37] <cbill> _2, ya, we'll see in a few mins if it was worth it!

[08:55] <O__o> everyone uses skype
[08:56] <dixonionthedemon> was using vista fer the longest time then decided to switch to ubuntu
[08:56] <O__o> dixonionthedemon, how long u been using computer?
[08:56] <dixonionthedemon> fer awhile
[08:56] <rkpisanu> dixonionthedemon,  wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu
[08:56] <rkpisanu>  sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture skype*.deb
[08:57] <dixonionthedemon> my computer is only a year and 3 months old
[08:57] <ValentineX> for a while lol :D
[08:57] <ValentineX> only :D
[08:57] <|_ocke> you know honestly what my biggest problem with windows is that is totally great in linux
[08:57] <|_ocke> when you scroll the mousewheel, it scrolls the window your pointer is in
[08:57] <_2> "was using vista fer the longest time"  hehhe longest time,,, compaired to what?     longest time... :)
[08:57]  * quincunx55555 started with slackware in '95
[08:57] <|_ocke>  in windows you have to click on whatever window first
[08:57]  * |_ocke started with slackware 3.4
[08:57] <|_ocke> i dont know what year that was but probably like 96 or 97 or something
[08:58] <ValentineX> O__o: any way to preview my effects before enabling them?
[08:58] <quincunx55555> I was so impressed when I installed ubuntu
[08:58] <_2> |_ocke you were running linux for the longest time....
[08:58] <dixonionthedemon> fer me it was like in 94-95
[08:58] <dixonionthedemon> ish
[08:58] <ziroday> !offtopic
[08:58] <O__o> ValentineX, i am not sure
[08:58] <O__o> ValentineX, i just enable them
[08:58] <|_ocke> ziroday, i know i know
[08:58] <_2> dixonionthedemon vista was only released a very few years ago...
[08:58] <|_ocke> i've been in here for a couple years now
[08:58] <ValentineX> O__o: do they make 2.0Ghz 1GB ram pc slow?
[08:59] <|_ocke> i'm actually banned from ubuntu-offtopic..
[08:59] <quincunx55555> anyone here use "approx", or other programs to get one computer to look at a local computer for repository downloads?
[08:59] <|_ocke> not i
[08:59] <O__o> i dont think so
[08:59] <|_ocke> i've always had a fast net connection and only one or two ubuntu pcs
[09:00] <O__o> this is not MS aero crap
[09:00] <quincunx55555> my isp caps my bandwidth, and since both computer download mostly the same stuff, I've been trying to figure how to get them to share
[09:00] <_2> ziroday yeah you are right,  sorry.   that vista for the longest time  statement just struck me so comically
[09:01] <O__o> what system u guys uses the longest time?
[09:01] <ValentineX> O__o: after enabling effects nothing happened should i logout then login again?
[09:01] <O__o> u dont need to log out
[09:01] <smacky> what else is there beside wine to run window apps
[09:01] <O__o> where did u change the setting?
[09:01] <O__o> "open animation " tab?
[09:01] <_2> quincunx55555 common storage area ?  sshfs maybe ?    or a caching server ?
[09:01] <Wille_eee> lp
[09:02] <quincunx55555> smacky, Cedega is used for windows games
[09:02] <ValentineX> O__o: compizconfig settings
[09:02] <aron> i'd like to ask if somebody can help me to setup awstats?
[09:02] <O__o> ValentineX, i mean in effect | animations
[09:02] <durt> smacky: You either virtualize windows under ubuntu/linux or you dualboot
[09:02] <O__o> ValentineX, there are 6 tabs
[09:02] <quincunx55555> _2, with approx, you can get one machine to check another for packages before checking the internet
[09:03] <syn-fin> does ubuntu support nvidia 9800 gtx?
[09:03] <O__o> close animation, effect settings, focus animation, min animation, open animation, shade animationm
[09:03] <ziroday> syn-fin: yes
[09:03] <smacky> how do i virualize windows
[09:03] <_2> quincunx55555 yeah,  there are also caching proxy services for linux   would make that more seemless
[09:03] <|_ocke> smacky, cedega and crossover, but both are based on wine and not opensource/free
[09:03] <ziroday> syn-fin: as long as you use the latest version (8.10)
[09:04] <|_ocke> syn-fin, if its nvidia, ubuntu pretty much supports it
[09:04] <syn-fin> ziroday, its supported 100%? I.E. CUDA is supported?
[09:04] <_2> quincunx55555 right now the most common name eludes me.
[09:04] <quincunx55555> _2 it seems like that is what "approx" does.  From comments that I googled, people were favoring approx to the other similar apps
[09:04] <smacky> i done tried crossover it dont work
[09:04] <ziroday> syn-fin: not sure about CUDA support sorry. I know that is has 3D acceleration.
[09:05] <ValentineX> O__o: in effects where those tabs?
[09:05] <joot> quincunx55555, Is this what you want...http://www.osnews.com/story/20724/Keryx_Updating_GNU_Linux_Without_Broadband
[09:05]  * ValentineX test
[09:05]  * ValentineX wants to try jaunty
[09:05] <_2> quincunx55555   squid  maybe
[09:05] <quincunx55555> thanks joot
[09:06] <ValentineX> O__o: thanks a lot they are not working i shall give them time later
[09:06] <joot> quincunx55555, NP :-)
[09:07] <askand> Is there a way I can use the screen of my asus eee beside my stationary computerscreen over wifi?
[09:07] <durt> smacky: By using virtualbox or Vmware or Qemu or others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization
[09:07] <ziroday> askand: only using VNC but that doesn't sound like what you want
[09:08] <_2> quincunx55555 if you are only talking about the debian packages  then  their are several ways and yes approx is one
[09:08] <smacky> durt vmware was what i was trying to think of  Thanks
[09:08] <askand>  ziroday: nah I would like to extend my stationary screen to the asus eee
[09:09] <dinesh372> that is the error i got when i tried to rename a file why?         Bareword "Sort" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1. Bareword "rar" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line1. why does this problem is occuring
[09:09] <smacky> have a good one you guy's catch y'all on my next mess up
[09:09] <Goliath23> hi
[09:09] <quincunx55555> _2, yea, I'm not sure if approx is supposed to be running on both machines, where the config file is supposed to be (one machine, or both)
[09:10] <Goliath23> I have problems with my Alps touchpad on intrepid. It seems it is detected as synaptics touchpad and uses wrong parameters.
[09:11] <durt> !virtualization
[09:11] <Goliath23> I found a forum entry which described how to change xorg.conf to make it work. however, my xorg.conf is almost empty and overwritten on reboot. and it seems that my settings have no effect. how can I overwrite the (wrong) default settings?
[09:11] <_2> quincunx55555 it might also be to your liking to just share the /var/cache/apt/packages/  with the remote box  mounting it on the dir of the same name   again sshfs would work well for that.
[09:11] <usser> askand, you may try X forwarding with ssh, and run apps from your stationary computer on eee but im not sure if thats exactly what u need
[09:11] <_2> quincunx55555 that's a pretty easy fast and simple setup
[09:11] <dixonionthedemon> with trying to get skype i keep getting the following
[09:12] <quincunx55555> _2, yea, actually, thanks.  I would have never thought of that
[09:12] <dixonionthedemon> ERROR - Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt-core
[09:12] <usser> askand, you can basically make your desktop forward X apps to the eeepc its not quite extended dekstop, more like dual view with two separate X server for each monitor
[09:13] <_2> quincunx55555 welcome.   i actually used that setup for a while, i'm on dialup and don't want to dl any more than i have to.
[09:13] <aMuleAduGuest400> cè qualche esperto di linux
[09:13] <askand> usser: that sounds about what I want but sounds difficult :)
[09:13] <bazhang_> !it | aMuleAduGuest400
[09:14] <quincunx55555> _2 when my ISP throttles me down after downloading too much per month, it's worse than dialup
[09:14] <_2> quincunx55555 no. you have forgotten how slow dialup is.
[09:14] <joot> dinesh372, you probably need to go to #perl
[09:14] <usser> askand, not really
[09:14] <quincunx55555> _2 well, I can only connect after 11pm, and then only text chat, maybe download a text web page
[09:15] <usser> askand, all you need is ssh server on the desktop and client on eeepc
[09:15] <_2> quincunx55555 heh.  yeah  that's about the same.
[09:15] <usser> askand, sudo apt-get install openssh-server on the server
[09:15] <aSHWIN> i need to optimize performance of nfs what are the parameters
[09:15] <user_> gorski: (since intrepid a lot of stuff is determined automatically so xorg.conf isnt the top reference for settings anymore)
[09:15] <askand> usser: that I have
[09:15] <user_> gorski: sorry
[09:15] <dinesh372> joot: how can it be done going to perl
[09:15] <usser> askand, sudo apt-get install openssh-client on the eee
[09:15] <user_> Goliath23: (since intrepid a lot of stuff is determined automatically so xorg.conf isnt the top reference for settings anymore)
[09:15] <gorski> :)
[09:16] <usser> askand, now try ssh'ing into the desktop with ssh -X -C username@computername
[09:16] <_2> usser umm i know it's not really needed, but the ssh meta package depends on both the server and client
[09:16] <user_> Goliath23: what is the url of the forum entry you found?
[09:16] <_2> !info ssh
[09:16] <bazhang_> aMuleAduGuest400, /join #ubuntu-it
[09:16] <_2> simple to remember and reccomend   ^
[09:17] <usser> _2, ah thanks, but does ubuntu come with ssh-client by default?
[09:17] <gthj> the netbeans is looks like visual c++ and borland c++ builder?
[09:17] <CAiRO_> how can i regenerate the control.stub for the restricted-modules package?
[09:18] <usser> gthj, nothing like it, its written in java after all, but pretty much all the features of visual C++ are there
[09:18] <_2> usser as far as i know all default ubuntu installation methoods do have the client by default  but that still doesn't assume that they havent removed things.
[09:18] <aron> please,who can help me to set up awstats?
[09:18] <CAiRO_> for the kernel itself and the modules packages, i could do ./debian/rules debian/control.stub but it doesn't work for the restricted modules
[09:18] <joot> dinesh372, just put   /join #perl
[09:18] <_2> and that assumption can, like any other assumption, bite you!
[09:18] <usser> heh
[09:18] <gthj> ok thank you
[09:19] <simon127> so anyone know how to backup/export mailq?
[09:19] <askand> usser: what is supposed to happend when I run that? : o
[09:19] <joot> dinesh372, also there is much google on bareword not allowed
[09:19] <usser> askand, it should ask for the password, the one that u use on the server
[09:19] <askand> usser: yep
[09:19] <quincunx55555> thanks everyone!
[09:19] <usser> askand, go ahead and enter it
[09:20] <Ketrel> I'm having a big problem trying to mount a windows share from command line, I keep getting: mount error 13 = Permission denied
[09:20] <Ketrel> I KNOW my credentials are correct
[09:20] <askand> usser: and now it looks like a regular ssh session
[09:20] <usser> askand, yes
[09:20] <ValentineX> MY screen refresh rate is set to zero how to increase that?
[09:20] <usser> askand, try to run xterm
[09:20] <ichbinesderelch> Ketrel: ran it with sudo?
[09:20] <user_> simon127: #ubuntu-server might help you, or the channel of your mail-server (exim?)
[09:20] <Ketrel> ichbinesderelch: I have to
[09:20] <Ketrel> it won't even let me run it without
[09:20] <fiveofoh> ValentineX: If your screen refresh rate is set to zero, how are you chatting?
[09:20] <Ketrel> mount: only root can do that
[09:21] <askand> usser: ah, that did work :)
[09:21]  * fiveofoh is feeling rather biting tonight
[09:21] <Ketrel> ichbinesderelch: my command: sudo mount //<IP_ADDRESS>/c$ ./smb_share/ -t cifs -o username=andrew,password=123456
[09:21] <usser> askand, right so you can open X apps from the server on the ee
[09:21] <ValentineX> fiveofoh: wait i upgrade to jaunty
[09:21] <usser> askand, do you run gnome on the server
[09:21] <askand> usser: yes
[09:21] <usser> askand, it may look weird and break things, but still try running gnome-session
[09:22] <usser> askand, if it doesnt work just kill ssh connection
[09:22] <_2> usser while thinking about ssh,  i setup sshd to pause 10 seconds before authenticating  then limit the grace time to 30 seconds and the number of retries to 2     overkill i'm sure, but keeps kids from eating up bandwidth with ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and trying to brute force it       just a thought.
[09:22] <Yossarian> hey peeps
[09:22] <ichbinesderelch> Ketrel: can you ping the other computer in lan?
[09:22] <ValentineX> fiveofoh: http://imagebin.ca/view/PfCp0G.html
[09:23] <Ketrel> ichbinesderelch: yup
[09:23] <Yossarian> i'm using intrepid x64 on a toshiba A130. everything works fine, except for when i plug in my headphones, nothing happens and the speakers keep sounding on, headphones mute.
[09:23] <Yossarian> what can i do?
[09:23] <usser> _2, i'd just change the port :)
[09:23] <usser> _2, and set UsersAllowed in sshd.conf
[09:24] <_2> and, while i am thinking about ssh,   why would permission on ~/ matter to ssh whether it reads the public key from ~/.ssh/  or not  ?
[09:24] <ichbinesderelch> Ketrel: do you have sambafs installed?
[09:24] <_2> usser yes allowing only specific users is good too
[09:24] <ichbinesderelch> Ketrel: sry smbfs
[09:25] <Ketrel> [34250.008242] Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[09:25] <Ketrel> [34250.008253] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
[09:25] <Ketrel> [34250.008262] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
[09:25] <Ketrel> (and yes I do)
[09:25] <_2> usser security by obscurity, port change is a deturant to whom ?
[09:25] <Ketrel> (That's a dmesg | tail )
[09:25] <Yossarian> bump
[09:25] <ValentineX> fiveofoh: even i cannot change that zero there is no other option http://imagebin.ca/view/nWlqgVU.html
[09:25] <gthj> usser, do you know an ide that makes the same thing that visual c++ and borland c++ builder do?
[09:26] <Ketrel> ichbinesderelch: same error if I substitute mount.cifs for mount -t cifs
[09:27] <usser> _2, well most scanners are automatic and those kids never bother or lack knowledge to scan ports
[09:27] <_2> gthj have you looked at kdevelop ?
[09:27] <ichbinesderelch> Ketrel: tried mounting it with -t smbfs?
[09:27] <_2> usser exactly
[09:27] <|_ocke> holy crap i hadn't looked at the userlist lately, 1280 users!
[09:27] <gthj> no, but ill looking for...
[09:27] <Ketrel> ichbinesderelch: I've tried, same error
[09:28] <_2> |_ocke yeah it't way down,,, wonder why ?
[09:28] <Yossarian> bump :(
[09:28] <|_ocke> that's down??
[09:28] <ichbinesderelch> Ketrel: how dos your credential file look like?
[09:28] <_2> |_ocke yeah. catually
[09:28] <_2> act.*
[09:28] <|_ocke> last i remember looking, it was like 4-500
[09:28] <Ketrel> ichbinesderelch: as far as I know, I'm not using one
[09:28] <usser> askand, with that kind of setup you may end up with panels overlapping,rendering issues etc, so what i do is i run a simple window manager like fluxbox or openbox with a single ssh window open then run gnome-sessions, helps it keep cleaner
[09:28] <Ketrel> as I said before
[09:28] <user_> Yossarian: does it work, if you mute the speakers manually?
[09:28] <Ketrel> my command: sudo mount //<IP_ADDRESS>/c$ ./smb_share/ -t cifs -o username=andrew,password=123456
[09:28] <|_ocke> ubuntu is really catching on mainstream
[09:28] <_2> |_ocke sure that wasn't #kubuntu
[09:29] <|_ocke> most people i talk to in the it set, and at least half of the people in every other set have at least heard of it
[09:29] <_2> |_ocke #kubuntu  runs around that number
[09:29] <fr4nkg05> :P
[09:29] <Yossarian> user_: no. nothing happens when i plug the headphones in. but it did work under vista :\
[09:29] <|_ocke> _2, no, it was this chan, i havent noticed the number for probably more than a year
[09:29] <Guest92063> I need to reinstall ubuntu but i also want a partition for windows vista, would it be easier to install vista first then install ubuntu?
[09:30] <|_ocke> jedi06, just use parted to resize your win partition
[09:30] <usser> jedi06, yea windows first
[09:30] <askand> usser: thanks!
[09:30] <_2> |_ocke you must have looked durring a netsplit or something.
[09:30] <usser> askand, no problem
[09:30] <jedi06> yea thought it would be easier to do windows first
[09:30] <|_ocke>  oh from blank disk
[09:30] <user_> Yossarian: does it work, if you mute the speakers manually (via sound control)? Are your manual settings ignored by the system?
[09:30] <|_ocke> yeah definitely windows first :P
[09:30] <|_ocke> it s greedy with the mbr
[09:30] <jedi06> yes
[09:30] <fiveofoh> jedi06: Heck yes
[09:31] <Yossarian> user, i have no idea. if i mute the speakers, they will go mute, but still no headphone
[09:31] <fiveofoh> jedi06: Windows, oldest to newest, then Linux
[09:31] <jedi06> and it will mount the ntfs volume for me
[09:31]  * fiveofoh is triple booting with Vista/XP/Ubuntu
[09:31] <fiveofoh> And yes
[09:31] <_2> !dualboot | jedi06
[09:31] <GreenDelta> On my ubuntu machine every video (even the visualization of rhythmbox) flickers horribly... is this a codec problem? and when yes, how can i fix it?
[09:31] <jedi06> yes i know
[09:32] <|_ocke> ntfs is supported since like breezy or earlier heh
[09:32] <durt> Guest92063: yes, for the sole reason that windows over writes the MBR
[09:32] <jedi06> i thought about getting xp but i don't know why i need it if i have vista
[09:32] <Ketrel> ichbinesderelch: any idea/
[09:32] <user_> Yossarian: do you mean that speaker output and headphone output are on the same level whenever you change one of them?
[09:32] <Yossarian> no
[09:32] <Yossarian> i can change them seperately
[09:32] <Yossarian> but no sound from headphone
[09:33] <fiveofoh> jedi06: Cause it's less resource hungry
[09:33] <fiveofoh> I just had it laying around
[09:33] <|_ocke> jedi06, i'd say for the one reason (besides many others) that every website and everything else you do on the computer gets sent through the NSA and homeland defense dept before hitting its target
[09:33] <ezerhoden> GreenDelta: are you using compiz?
[09:33] <user_> Yossarian: hmm, have you tried unmuting headphone or turning volume to max?
[09:33] <k1ko> GreenDelta: try turning off the visual effects :) System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>None
[09:33] <|_ocke> jedi06, that is in vista, not in xp
[09:33] <GreenDelta> yeah i am using compiz...
[09:33] <jedi06> lol
[09:33] <jedi06> didn't know about that
[09:33] <Yossarian> user, of course
[09:33] <|_ocke> yep
[09:33] <_2> |_ocke selinux
[09:33] <|_ocke> its true
[09:34] <ezerhoden> GreenDelta: you have to change with video output drivers for the various apps, totem, mplayer etc...
[09:34] <|_ocke> _2, any linux..
[09:34] <_2> nevermind
[09:34] <user_> !sound | Yossarian
[09:34] <alpaka> Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex; I can't empty the trash in evolution, everytime I want to empty trash I have to enter the following code in the terminal: http://rafb.net/p/nCPvOr25.html
[09:34] <GreenDelta> k1ko: if i turn off compiz, it works fine, but i want to have both...
[09:34] <alpaka> what's possibly wrong? is there anyone else who is experiencing similar symptoms? I have even tried reinstalling evolution and deleting the ".evolution" folder
[09:34] <Yossarian> tried most of those
[09:34] <GreenDelta> ezerhoden: what exactly do you mean?
[09:36] <user_> Yossarian: try all of those ;-) also does google suggest anything: intrepid sound problems $your-computermodel
[09:36] <CAiRO_> how can i build the restricted modules only for one specific flavour?
[09:37] <Yossarian> http://arbitraryusefulinfo.wordpress.com/2007/10/10/configuring-headphones-for-ubuntu-704-on-a-toshiba-a135-s2356/ tried this and it messed up my sound completely. had to reinstall ALSA.
[09:37] <_2> alpaka unless there is an ownership/permissions issue   it would have to be a bug in the app i guess
[09:38] <_2> alpaka and sense you have deleted ~/.evolution/mail/local that kinda rules out permissions
[09:38] <Yossarian> thing is, i have perfect sound, just not through the headphones, so i don't know what to start messing around with
[09:38] <Yossarian> isn't there some sort of jack sensing applet?
[09:38] <_2> !bug
[09:38] <ezerhoden> GreenDelta: one second, what app are you using? totem?
[09:39] <alpaka> _2: here's the bug's page, it's been crawling in evolution since version 0.9
[09:39] <alpaka> _2: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213072
[09:39] <_2> there ya go
[09:39] <_2> alpaka so script your three commands an make a symlink to the desktop
[09:40] <GreenDelta> ezerhoden: its in all aps... rhythmbox, totem, vlc
[09:40] <alpaka> _2: sorry i'm a dummy, symlink to what?
[09:41] <k1ko> GreenDelta: GPU?
[09:41] <GreenDelta> k1ko: what do you mean? what GPU i have?
[09:41] <alpaka> _2: wish I could find a way to recreate the bug for developers
[09:42] <k1ko> GreenDelta: nVidia or aTi
[09:42] <koshar4> GreenDelta model of your video card
[09:42] <GreenDelta> k1ko: ATI 4850
[09:42] <k1ko> cool :) mine too
[09:42] <k1ko> i have the same problem
[09:43] <ezerhoden> GreenDelta: you can try gstreamer-properties and change video output to X Window System (No Xv)
[09:43] <k1ko> and i used to search for solution
[09:43] <k1ko> but i got tired...
[09:43] <GreenDelta> ezerhoden: i this a programm?
[09:44] <ezerhoden> GreenDelta: and if you use mplayer, edit the ~/.mplayer/config and change the line vo=xv to vo=x11
[09:44] <Yossarian> bump, i have no idea what to do :(
[09:45] <Yossarian> and i really don't wanna go back to vista *sob*
[09:45] <ezerhoden> GreenDelta: i have never used rythembox but if it uses gstreamer then it should be ok after the 1st fix
[09:46] <Heliodor> Helluh
[09:46] <k1ko> GreenDelta: go to the terminal and type gstreamer-properties ... a window will popup
[09:46] <Heliodor> It takes like 10 minutes until eth1 is up, is there any way to speed this up?
[09:46] <user_> Yossarian: you could test with a livecd of jaunty (devel branch)
[09:47] <GreenDelta> k1ko: k
[09:47] <boshhead> Are there any good free browsers besides firefox? (Ideally it would also support flash and such). Mainly I'm looking for a browser that doesn't crash after 10 minutes of browsing.
[09:47] <ice_cream> lol
[09:47] <sfire> Heliodor, the easiest way would be to set it up for a static IP.. but I wonder what is taking DHCP so long
[09:47] <ice_cream> boshhead, maybe you should take it easy and not blame the best browser for crashing ;)
[09:47] <k1ko> GreenDelta: then go to [tab]video and under Default Output choose plugin to be X Window System (No Xv)
[09:47] <ezerhoden> boshhead: epiphany, opera, links2 -g
[09:47] <sfire> Heliodor, you are using a router correct?
[09:47] <GreenDelta> k1ko: it works fine
[09:47] <Yossarian> no other way of making it work?
[09:48] <GreenDelta> k1ko: thx :)
[09:48] <boshhead> ice_cream: What makes it the best? And I'm just stating a fact... it really does crash on me extremely often.
[09:48] <k1ko> GreenDelta: the idea was ezerhoden's :) 10x him
[09:48] <user_> Yossarian: at the moment in this channel nobody knows the solution
[09:49] <GreenDelta> ezerhoden: ok thx to you, sry i mixed it up :P
[09:49] <Yossarian> oh bummer :(
[09:49]  * ice_cream sighs
[09:49] <ezerhoden> GreenDelta: yep, np
[09:50] <Yossarian> but if it helps: in vista, i had to set the headphones as the default output before it would work. before i did, it did the same thing as in ubuntu
[09:50] <boshhead> ice_cream: I'm not complaining about a once a day thing. The vast majority of my browsing sessions end in crashes, rather than quits.
[09:50] <Yossarian> but in ubuntu i can't find a switch for it
[09:50] <Heliodor> sfire: Yes, there is a router. But dmesg waits for the link to get ready to get up, so i am not sure that it is the router that is the problem. It is configured as static already with networkmanager properly disabled.
[09:50] <ror> hey, does anyone know which compiz plugin has the window switcher on ctrl+alt+up? I've lost it and can't find which ccsm plugin it's in :(
[09:51] <ice_cream> boshhead, k, keep thinking it's firefox
[09:51] <k1ko> Yossarian: which program you use to listen music?
[09:51] <boshhead> ice_cream: well what is it, then?
[09:51] <Yossarian> rhythmbox, vlc for videos
[09:51] <Heliodor> sfire: funny thing is, i have two network cards and both take time to come up.
[09:51] <loom__> does anyone know the name of the CLI program which is spec. for last.fm ?
[09:51] <sfire> Heliodor, using the same ethernet cable?
[09:51] <Heliodor> sfire: and i dont have this problem in windows, or os x
[09:51] <sfire> hmmm
[09:52] <Heliodor> sfire: umm, you think it might be the cable?
[09:52] <sfire> I've seen network cables do really funny things
[09:52] <Heliodor> sfire: Good point, il check into that
[09:52] <sfire> is this the same cable that works fine in windows?
[09:53] <Heliodor> sfire: no, i had two cables. so you might have hit the nail here :)
[09:53] <k1ko> Yossarian: you have that little speaker like icon near the clock? for volume control?
[09:53] <PabloPL_> Hi, I have a problem with hibernation - after I hibernate my computer, during it's resuming (sometimes on GDM, sometimes even before graphic mode) there are some beeps from PC-speaker and computer shutdown :/
[09:53] <boshhead> ice_cream: ?
[09:53] <prova> hello
[09:53] <ice_cream> boshhead, it could be a number of things... how am i supposed to know
[09:53] <Yossarian> k1ko, sure
[09:54] <boshhead> ice_cream: well how do you know it's not firefox then ?
[09:54] <k1ko> Yossarian: rightClick - preferences
[09:54] <ice_cream> intuition
[09:54] <jsfoxton> hi ppl! :) I've just installed Illustrator through wine and it said it installed correctly but i cant find it anywhere? Can anyone help me find it?
[09:54] <Yossarian> k1ko: yes?
[09:54] <ezerhoden> boshhead: do you run many extensions or flash plugin, etc ?
[09:54] <toehio> how do i edit the kernel? I read somewhere that i have to commet out a line to patch it. Where is the 'kernel' that i have to edit?
[09:55] <chymus> guys, anyone knows how to or where to edit right click menu when I click on desktop ?
[09:55] <ice_cream> say a toyota camry driver gets into a car crash and blames toyota
[09:55] <Nextract> hey all
[09:55] <loom__> jsfoxton: which version of Ill are you running ?
[09:55] <k1ko> Yossarian: play some music and try the items in the menu
[09:55] <ice_cream> when the car has been proven to be solid
[09:55] <Nextract> i was wondering if somebody could spare a moment to help me with understanding alsa options
[09:55] <UrsusTas> jsfoxton: ~/.wine/drive_c
[09:55] <jsfoxton> loom: CS
[09:55] <Nextract> im not sure how to setup my microphone
[09:55] <boshhead> ezerhoden: I run a few extensions, stumbleupon, adblock, noscript. Although I've uninstalled them all before in frustration to see if that would help things, and it didn't. Yes I have the flash plugin, which I don't consider optional :)
[09:55] <Yossarian> okies
[09:55] <jsfoxton> i looked in drive_c but cannot find it there
[09:56] <ezerhoden> toehio: what are you trying to do.
[09:56] <jsfoxton> or in program files
[09:56] <loom__> jsfoxton: that's weird , it should be there ... will Illustrator work through wine.. i thought i read somewhere thath none of Ill is supported or usable..
[09:56] <boshhead> ezerhoden: I installed noscript to try and help with the problem. Since a big cause of crashing (or really slowing down) is if I load a website with a lot of flash videos. Noscript disables the videos until I click on them, so it's helped a bit with that.
[09:56] <k1ko> Yossarian: when you change the preferences better play other sound/music
[09:57] <ezerhoden> boshhead: flash is probably causing the majority of the crashes
[09:57] <faderhval> Hey folks, anyone have a working link for loki's open UT 436?
[09:57] <_2> !game
[09:57] <_2> !games
[09:57] <jsfoxton> loom: well i saw that photoshop didnt work so i tried illustrator through terminal and it ran perfectly....i enter my serial number and it installed
[09:58] <k1ko> Yossarian: just to be sure... cuz i'm with 2 snd cards and in XP to see the effect when changing the output i have to Stop the music and the Play it...
[09:58] <UrsusTas> jsfoxton: try ...     $ find ~/ "*.exe" -print
[09:58] <ice_cream> faderhval, possibly here http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/updates.php3
[09:58] <boshhead> ezerhoden: Anything I can do short of disabling flash? My system is completely up to date according to the update manager :)
[09:58] <_2> UrsusTas -print is redundant
[09:58] <Yossarian> nah, nothing happens. laptop speakers keep working but no headphones
[09:59] <Yossarian> they're set at MAX in the volume control
[09:59] <loom__> jsfoxton: gotta give it a try ... try searching  for illustrator .exe file.. it should be SOMEWHERE
[09:59] <k1ko> (11:56:59 AM) k1ko: Yossarian: when you change the preferences better play other sound/music
[09:59] <k1ko> (11:58:02 AM) k1ko: Yossarian: just to be sure... cuz i'm with 2 snd cards and in XP to see the effect when changing the output i have to Stop the music and the Play it...
[09:59] <Yossarian> isn't there some switch like there is in the windows drivers?
[09:59] <_2> UrsusTas and you might want -iname '*.exe'
[09:59] <k1ko> Yossarian: done this?
[09:59] <Yossarian> k1ko, i tried
[09:59] <Yossarian> :(
[09:59] <k1ko> Yossarian: wierd...
[10:00] <Yossarian> on my other laptop. there is a switch in ubuntu for the headphones. here, it is missing
[10:00] <user_> Yossarian: on the long run with new laptop hardware i can hearly recommend trying out the latest live-cd
[10:00] <faderhval> ice_cream: thanks but those links does (for some reason) not work for me..:/
[10:00] <UrsusTas> _2: true, sorry it's been awhile since I used find ;) normally i just use updatedb / locate
[10:00] <jsfoxton> loom: it did the exact same thing with itunes. I got it to instal through terminal and wine but it disappeared
[10:01] <jsfoxton> i'm looking for it now
[10:01] <_2> UrsusTas on my system that takes a long time.
[10:01] <_2> UrsusTas so i use find a lot
[10:01] <Yossarian> ok but i don't have any blank cds now :P
[10:01] <Appi> hi guys, when I play any video from Youtube, there is break in voice often, can any one please help me in sorting out
[10:02] <bullgard4> man cron: "daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)." What does 'Vixie Cron' mean here?
[10:02] <_2> user_ what means hearly recommend ?
[10:02] <boshhead> bullgard4: it's just a flavor of cron. There are several cron daemons including vixie cron, fcron, dcron...
[10:02] <UrsusTas> _2: locate is pretty much instant on my system O.o .. it's a database that is searched, not the actual file system ..
[10:02] <Yossarian> this is so frustrating. ubuntu works so well, all things considered. when i watch a movie in xp or vista, the system gets incredibly hot(to around 70c) but when i do the same with ubuntu, even with games, it sticks around 50-60. shows how much better it can use system resources.
[10:03] <user_> _2: s/hearly/heartly
[10:03] <bullgard4> boshhead: Ah! Thank you for explaining.
[10:03] <_2> UrsusTas yes it's the "updatedb" that takes for ever
[10:03] <_2> user_ oh   heh  sorry.
[10:03] <ari_stress> hi hi, i'm back :)
[10:03] <user_> _2: my mistake with the typo ;-)
[10:04] <_2> user_ no i should have been able to see that,  i just couldn't understand if you were advocating or denouncing
[10:05] <UrsusTas> _2: which is why I suggested find for a recent install, slocate should include a cron job that runs updatedb 1/day .. I use locate first (most of the time I search for a file it's older than a day) and if nothing run a find ;) but my find is aliased as i am lazy ;)
[10:06] <worre> how to update from hardy to intrepid
[10:06] <_2> !upgrade | worre
[10:07] <Nextract> Hi can anybody help me with my microphone in ubuntu
[10:07] <_2> i go now.  gooday and goodluck to your pinguin.
[10:08] <user_> Nextract: how far have you come?
[10:09] <celestin> 4times or more?
[10:09] <CAiRO> is there some place where i can make my custom kernel flavour (desktop kernel with PAE enabled) available to the public without having to have own web hosting?
[10:11] <user_> !ppa | CAiRO maybe.. havent used it yet myself
[10:13] <k1ko> the guy with the headphones - http://vaioubuntu.wordpress.com/2009/01/03/headphones-detection-auto-switch-off-laptop-speakers/
[10:14] <Nextract> does anybody know why my mic would not be working in Gyachi
[10:15] <Yossarian> k1ko: thankes,i'll try this out now :)
[10:15] <Yossarian> reboot
[10:16] <Ev0> light u there?
[10:16] <Dread> anyone played with AIR on linux? i cant get shit to run
[10:17] <ortsvorsteher> !language | Dread
[10:19] <jedi06> i put in my windows vista cd and change boot order to cd/dvd and it still boots up in linux
[10:20] <MarcoPau> hello, I can't mount the fat partitions as user, even thou I set gid=100 and umask=000 in /etc/fstab. do you have a hint?
[10:20] <Quack[stinkpad]> jedi06, do you have more than one drive?
[10:20] <Quack[stinkpad]> if so, try the other one?
[10:21] <|AR|> MarcoPau: add "user" to the options field in /etc/fstab file
[10:21] <jedi06> nope only one drive
[10:21] <Yossarian> to no avail :(
[10:21] <jedi06> maybe there is something wrong with the vista cd
[10:21] <Quack[stinkpad]> have you tried it before?
[10:22] <Quack[stinkpad]> cause if it's booting from linux it sounds like a vista cd problem, not an ubuntu problem
[10:22] <Quack[stinkpad]> ubuntu is doing what it's supposed to, just not the vista cd
[10:22] <koshar4> jedi06 maybe the disc isnt bootable
[10:22]  * delcoyote hola
[10:22] <Quack[stinkpad]> anyway, ditch the vista cd
[10:23] <Quack[stinkpad]> get windows 7
[10:23] <ortsvorsteher> !ot | Quack[stinkpad]
[10:23] <k1ko> Yossarian: what happend?
[10:24] <k1ko> Yossarian: same result?
[10:24] <Yossarian> k1ko: same thing
[10:25] <Yossarian> k1ko: same thing yeah. the line it says to add, thought, it says model=hippo
[10:25] <Yossarian> perhaps mine is different?
[10:25] <MarcoPau> |AR|: that won't work, I had already tried it
[10:25] <jedi06> i try the xp install and it does boot from the cd but i get the blue screen
[10:26] <unknown_> hi, anyone can help me with perl expression what should be in rename command to change beginning of filenames? ex. I've got file.part01.rar file.part02.rar etc. and I'd like to change it to otherfile.part01.rar otherfile.part02.rar etc ?
[10:26] <k1ko> Yossarian: maybe... your model?
[10:26] <k1ko> Yossarian: laptop i mean
[10:26] <ortsvorsteher> !ot | jedi06
[10:26] <k1ko> Yossarian: p.s. sorry for the english... :)
[10:28] <|AR|> MarcoPau: did you mount the partition using a normal user account after setting the "user" option?
[10:28] <user_> unknown_: hi, whats your code so far (pastebin)?
[10:28] <Yossarian> k1ko: quite alright :)i'm using a toshiba satellite A130 customized
[10:28] <Yossarian> the audio chipset is realtek
[10:28] <bullgard4> I am playing an .ogg file using Firefox. How can I determine what program Firefox 3.0.3 uses to play this .ogg file??
[10:28] <MarcoPau> |AR|: it's not mounted. that's what I would like to do
[10:28] <CrownAmbassador> Hi guys. Is there a specific IRC channel for Jaunty?
[10:29] <MarcoPau> |AR|: now it's working only as root
[10:29] <bullgard4> CrownAmbassador: Yes.
[10:29] <aprilhare> i wish they'd get about and release jaunty already the suspense is killing me
[10:29] <CrownAmbassador> bullgard4 Thanks. Do you know what it is?
[10:29] <koshar4> aprilhare happens every 6 months
[10:29] <|AR|> MarcoPau: umount it using root and mount it again using normal user
[10:29] <bullgard4> CrownAmbassador: #ubuntu+1
[10:29] <user_> bullgard4: firefox options lists how media files are handled
[10:30] <|AR|> MarcoPau: then that uesr account should have access to the partition
[10:30] <koshar4> will 9.04 final ship with 2.6.28 or 2.6.29 kernel?
[10:30] <CrownAmbassador> Thanks bullgard4
[10:30] <bullgard4> user_: What do you mean by 'Firefox options'? Where can I find them?
[10:31] <unknown_> user_: I thought it maybe is easy like adding some name like "rename .asm 40.asm *.asm" but it won't work for beginning of filenames :/
[10:31] <koshar4> bullgard4 edit => preferences on linux firefox
[10:31] <user_> bullgard4: in firefox - edit - preferences - applications
[10:31] <MarcoPau> |AR|: it's not mounted at the moment
[10:32] <bullgard4> koshar4, user_ : Thank you.
[10:32] <user_> unknown_: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Rename has good examples
[10:32] <MarcoPau> |AR|: I got it, can't use gid option anyway, had to delete it
[10:32] <jedi06> i'm trying to install windows over ubuntu do i need reformat the hard drive before i try to boot from cd?
[10:33] <|AR|> MarcoPau: :)
[10:33] <k1ko> Yossarian: zless /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz > Desktop/1.txt          run this command... it'll output a file to your desktop called "1.txt"
[10:34] <MarcoPau> |AR|: thanks for helping
[10:35] <unknown_> user_: thanks :) anyway its quite hard (total newbies in perl & regulard expressions) to me to change it, cause there isn't exact example :)
[10:35] <koshar4> jedi06 you will format as part of the windows install process, so the answer would be no you dont have to format before booting windows install disc

[10:44] <jedi06> well there is a fat16 must be the boot becuase its only 82mb the fat32 is 3GB
[10:45] <koshar4> jedi06 i think you may find the fat16 id a recovery tool
[10:45] <k1ko> Yossarian: found anything?
[10:45] <Yossarian> yes
[10:45] <Yossarian> found a lot actually hehe
[10:45] <Mahalo> Flappin Back|Track3 won't boot on my laptop
[10:45] <k1ko> Yossarian: a lot??? how many
[10:46] <Yossarian> should i paste? it might look like i'm flooding
[10:46] <nun2> ciao
[10:46] <zachk> can i "install" applications from a ubuntu livecd to like a ramdisk or something
[10:46] <nun2> !list
[10:46] <jedi06> would there be any problems with xp installing over it?
[10:47] <user_> Mahalo: ask in backtrack or #linux
[10:47] <Mahalo> zachk, you can run it if on a live CD. You can install it if you boot from usb
[10:47] <Mahalo> Cheers user_
[10:47] <Mahalo> And http://pastebin.ca/
[10:47] <zachk> where do i go to grab online packages
[10:47] <zachk> say ghc
[10:49] <user_> !software > zachk
[10:49] <Mahalo> Youssarian... http://pastebin.ca/
[10:49] <gmathews> Hi i am trying to install a package and I get this error - please haev a look at it http://paste.ubuntu.com/112393/
[10:49] <Mahalo> you can paste your info there and get a url
[10:50] <Spark_rd2> hello world
[10:50] <Mahalo> hello.world
[10:51] <Spark_rd2> please how can I run my cso games on my psp... It's on my memory card duo
[10:51] <user_> gmathews: just a side question. you seem wanting to compile something. your sure about this?
[10:51] <Mahalo> user_ actually... I would prefer to do this in Ubuntu...
[10:51] <jemark> hello there
[10:52] <Spark_rd2> hello
[10:52] <alpaka_> where is the truetype fonts folder in ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex?
[10:52] <gmathews> user_: yes - I am trying to a plasmoid working by following the README. I already installed cmake and build-essential, now i got another error which needs the package i indicated in the pastebin link.
[10:53] <user_> Mahalo: what exactly is flapping backtrack 3, url?
[10:53] <ice_cream> alpaka, /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[10:53] <alpaka> ice_cream: thank you
[10:54] <user_> gmathews: the output indicates that is a dependency bug. ubuntu is not really a kde affine distro. opensuse would be a better choice for KDE
[10:55] <Mahalo> user_: Video, apparently... no go. Don't have a suitab;e USB adapter and the internal on the compaq is no good for injecting.
[10:55] <jedi06> do you think it is worth keeping the fat16 and fat32 partition dell created?
[10:55] <Mahalo> no
[10:56] <jedi06> anyone else?
[10:56] <PrebenR> Hi. I did switch user on my computer, so two users are logged in. However I can jump to the other user by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Fx (x changes from time to time) and back again without typing password. Isn' this a security issue?
[10:56] <jedi06> Mahalo was that to me?
[10:57] <user_> Mahalo: sorry, i cannot follow you, what is flippin backtrack 3? a distro, a dvd, a program?
[10:57] <gmathews> lol user_. Does that mean I need to change to Suse for that plasmoid
[10:57] <gmathews> ;/
[10:57] <Mahalo> jedi06: Yes, you can always create new partitions, and if you load grub or lilo you will have a mother of a time getting///finding a windows boot partition if ever.
[10:58] <McFlury> french here ??
[10:58] <quibbler> !fr
[10:58] <nightrid3r> !fr | McFlury
[10:58] <jedi06> mahalo could they be some type of recovery?
[10:58] <McFlury> thanks :)
[10:58] <user_> gmathews: basically yes, you may ask in #kubuntu, but chances in this channel are that few people build kde programs themself (KDE's reputation is not the best currently)
[11:00] <Mahalo> jedi06: it Is the recovery partition in the loader. If you need to dual boot use a partition tool or instal the wuubi version to test it out.
[11:00] <eoke> How can I remove items from Nautilus places?  They're not listed in bookmarks probably because they're legacy file shares (share host no longer exists).  Unfortunately I think Nautilus is trying to enumerate them which makes it run incredibly slow.
[11:01] <XGas> Hi.. anyone, I use RhythmBox to transfer music to an iPod, it is usually automatically encoded into MP3 if the format isn't already that. The problem is that it encodes them into vbr 128bit which is a tab bit too low for me, and there is no way I can find to change this, any tips?
[11:02] <gmathews> lol user_ I moved to Kubuntu because I have been hearing that KDE is superior
[11:02] <jedi06> so i don't need them is what you are saying]
[11:03] <PC_Nerd> Hi, attempting to restore grub from a windows install (MBR), and past: "setup (hd0,5)" I get the Error #22 No such partition error.  I dont know what its refering to.  Im running 8.10 live CD (and installation), ubuntu on /dev/sda5, and mounted at /mnt/root      any suggestions?
[11:04] <user_> gmathews: it depends on your tasks and goals, ask in #kubuntu for sure, or switch to opensuse, they employ kde4 people
[11:04] <|AR|> test
[11:04] <|AR|> :O
[11:05] <fredl> hi guys, I tried a script 'mp4ize' that converts (using ffmpeg) videos to mp4 format to play on the ipod.
[11:06] <PC_Nerd> Any ideas on teh grub restore?
[11:06] <fredl> however, it does not work because of some xvid it can't find.
[11:07] <dfkl> hi ther
[11:07] <fredl> Unknown encoder 'libxvid'
[11:07] <dfkl> gmail is it an good Email box ?
[11:07] <user_> fredl: do you have a link to the mp4ize script?
[11:08] <user_> fredl: try   sudo aptitude install libxvidcore4
[11:08] <etech> whith which ubuntu alpha version it is generally ok for every day's use?
[11:08] <dblitz> hello everyone.. I just installed ubuntu 8.10 and I added my drivers and updated my system and now I rebooted and I can't get X to start up again
[11:08] <vvivan> Hi all. Could you please help me to reanimate 3 additional buttons on my Genius Ergo 525?
[11:08] <dayo_> !grub | PC_Nerd
[11:08] <gmathews> someone give me a small app to check if my apt-get is working pls
[11:08] <rakudave> dfkl: No, it's google... unless you like having your mails scanned ^^
[11:09] <dfkl> i mean gmail all message on our gmail box are controled by the advertisend
[11:09] <SiDi> hi, i installed an usplash for i386 while i'm running on amd64, and the usplash is *really* ugly, how can i put the default one back ?
[11:09] <dblitz> I tried envyng and it tried the -t switch and it didn't work.
[11:09] <dayo_> gmathews: apt-get install zim
[11:10] <etech> yes, as richard stallman said, it is really dum to use gmail...
[11:10] <dayo_> etech: why is it dumb to use gmail?
[11:10] <koshar4> dayo_ because its not gnu
[11:11] <etech> it isn't when you really don't care about your privacy and freedom
[11:11] <user_> dayo_: its not good for society if one company has soo much data
[11:11] <dfkl> i mean for example if i receive a message with on the body of message content the sentence " voip telephone " and you a banner publicity with a telephone company
[11:11] <dayo_> user_: u mean the emails and the search habits?
[11:11] <dfkl> i think gmail abuse controling our personal message
[11:11] <etech> absolutely
[11:11] <dfkl> am i right ?
[11:11] <Misterio> no
[11:11] <dblitz> has anyone had a problem with nvidia drivers ?
[11:12] <user_> dayo_: sure, they do what NSA does, except they dont care about terrorist, but about just one thing: advertising money
[11:12] <koshar4> dblitz probobly
[11:12] <PC_Nerd> Ive followed those guide, and get that error on the setup(hd0)  command in grub.  I beleive its part of menu.lst however i dont know much more than that.  alternatives  (the 2nd on above urls) tells me that fstab disagrees with partitions.
[11:12] <SiDi> dblitz: a lot of people have problems with geforce 2/4 's version 96 drivers and font antialiasing, but apart from this, dunno
[11:12] <dayo_> user_: i never looked at it from that perspective. intriguing
[11:12] <koshar4> dfkl vendoe lock is stallmans gripe
[11:12] <etech> anyway it is weird, i don't know any service you can trust
[11:13] <dayo_> PC_Nerd: sorry, i don't know anything about grub beyond those links
[11:13] <dblitz> ahh.. envy-ng doesn't seem to work either.
[11:13] <alpaka> how do I install ttf fonts in ubuntu 8.10?
[11:13] <ikonia> etech: none
[11:13] <etech> alpaka, the microsoft fonts?
[11:13] <dayo_> user_,etech: is there no non-invasive foss email service out there?
[11:13] <PC_Nerd> ok, thanks anyway (*sighs*) its the last thign I had to do after reinstalling windows.... but its driving me nuts :P
[11:14] <nyaa> PC_Nerd I sent you a dialog
[11:14] <etech> dayo_, i don't know :/
[11:14] <parthbakshi> gmathews : whats the issue?
[11:14] <dayo_> PC_Nerd: i usually install windows *first*, then ubuntu
[11:14] <nyaa> dblitz you're having trouble installing the driver?
[11:14] <dblitz> yes nyaa
[11:14] <willis_> some days - it just pays to dive in to the grub docs and learn how grub works..
[11:15] <dblitz> I just tried three different versions and still nothing
[11:15] <davetarmac> Hi folks - is there a way that I can make Pidgin (2.5.2) dock on the side of the screen, only appearing when the cursor is over the area - much like Adium can in OS X?
[11:15] <Sergeant_Pony> is there a way to reinstall ubuntu 8.10 without losing all my setups?
[11:15] <etech> dayo_, i wish it would exist
[11:15] <ikonia> etech: this is ubuntu support - please keep on topic
[11:15] <user_> dayo_: i would choose a local company which isnt too small so that you would fear seeing them go bankrupt within the next two years
[11:15] <nyaa> dblitz I would either check the driver from ubuntu under system > administration > hardware drivers, or if you don't want that one I would recommend installing the envy program from synaptic (it helps to install the right driver from NVIDIA.. does pretty well)
[11:16] <dblitz> nyaa: thats the problem.. I can't get into X
[11:16] <koshar4> Sergeant_Pony you could use a partimage image
[11:16] <dayo_> Sergeant_Pony: yes, by having a separate partition for /home, and not formatting that on reinstall
[11:16] <PC_Nerd> Your right, however I wanted to wipe windows and start again without having to reinstall ubuntu and all its packages again ( Ive got a HDD of downloads for installing initial programs/drivers on windows, I dont have a repository mirror for ubuntu)
[11:16] <dblitz> nyaa: After I rebooted I couldn't get into X

[11:17] <sxp> hi
[11:17] <benpicco_> Hi, is it possible to include the filename in templates, so that there is say a 'new java class.java' in my templates folder, so that I can choose 'new java class' - rename it to MyClass.java and the first line gets changed from public class $magicpattern { to public class MyClass { automatically?
[11:17] <dayo_> etech, user_: there needs to be something that relates to things like Tor
[11:17] <Sergeant_Pony> dayo_ can I move it and then do the reinstall then put it back?
[11:17] <joejc> Is it possible to align desktop icons to the right by default?
[11:17] <sxp> i was started ubuntu 7.10 CD in "safe graphics mode" and i modified xorg.conf because i need resolution 800x600
[11:18] <sxp> (the live cd)
[11:18] <punter> gmathews: your system is kind of broken apt-get works though u need to fix it
[11:18] <punter> gmathews: do sudo dpkg -configure
[11:18] <dayo_> Sergeant_Pony: u mean, creating a separate /home on your free space and moving your /home/* there? i'm not sure, if u won't break anything. u might have to edit your $PATH?
[11:18] <punter> gmathews: and post the output
[11:18] <Mahalo> user_: No dice. No other pointers?
[11:18] <sxp> if i install a program with the live cd, in what hard disk it installs?
[11:19] <nyaa> dblitz see if there are any backup xorg.conf_ files in /etc/X11
[11:19] <Sergeant_Pony> dayo_ I'm asking because this is on a dual-boot laptop
[11:19] <dayo_> punter, gmathews: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[11:19] <punter> gmathews :
[11:19] <gmathews> punter: dayo_: There is no output after dayo_s post
[11:19] <dayo_> Sergeant_Pony: which settings are u trying to preserve?
[11:20] <sxp> if i am running ubuntu from the live cd, in what place i can found the files?
[11:20] <punter> gmathews : do sudo dpkg -C
[11:20] <sxp> please help!
[11:20] <Sergeant_Pony> dayo_ my desktop and the customizing I did to the gnome desktop
[11:20] <dayo_> sxp: what files?
[11:20] <sxp> the files i installed
[11:21] <dayo_> Sergeant_Pony: then just backup those on DVD to be safe
[11:21] <gmathews> punter: I am still getting the same erpr as my pastebin post.
[11:21] <Sergeant_Pony> dayo_ ok, thanks
[11:21] <sxp> when i install soft with sudo apt-get install, in what device the files will install?
[11:21] <Mahalo> sxp: If you are running a live CD you are not installing filesw permanently
[11:21] <gmathews> punter : after running sudo dpkg -C
[11:21] <dayo_> sxp: u're installing stuff while running a LiveCD?
[11:22] <dayo_> gmathews: give me the pastebin link
[11:22] <sxp> dayo_: yes, i was installed and i am running bitchx now!
[11:22] <Mahalo> sxp: Your OS is running off of the CD.
[11:22] <Mahalo> And local resources.
[11:22] <gmathews> punter: it seems other packages work fine.. but kdebase-dev and kdelibs5-dev don't for some reason
[11:22] <stinger> Hello Just wanted to know if anyone has Dual X sessions working with Dual monitor - one being TV out would be nice - I went to suse and this has been a pain has not worked very well was wondering if it works better in ubuntu ?
[11:22] <dayo_> sxp: why not just install ubuntu on your hard drive?
[11:23] <gmathews> http://paste.ubuntu.com/112393/ - dayo_
[11:23] <punter> gmathews:check dependencies of both the packages
[11:23] <sxp> dayo_ : because i want only to play a sound with the ubuntu live cd
[11:23] <ikonia> stinger: xorg is xorg in any distro
[11:23] <punter> gmathews:basically dependencies are not being satisfied and hence the issue
[11:23] <bullgard4> [Audacious] Audacious > Audacious Preferences > Replay Gain >  Miscellaneous. What is the difference between  'Preamp' and 'Default gain'?
[11:23] <gmathews> punter: i though apt-get takes care of dependencies
[11:23] <sxp> i need to play a sound with mpg123 to test if my sound is ok
[11:23] <Mahalo> OK, I definitely don't feel so bad now...
[11:24] <stinger> ikonia: I have ubuntu running on my server with kde 3.5 and dual X worked fine
[11:24] <punter> gmathews:yes it does but sometimes it cannot
[11:24] <sxp> but in ubuntu y have not X!
[11:24] <sxp> then, i need to play with mpg123 in console
[11:24] <Mahalo> But I really would like some pointers for ipwraw with 8.10
[11:24] <gmathews> punter: that makes no sense... what do you mean sometimes it cannot ;/
[11:24] <dayo_> gmathews: have u tried: sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev ?
[11:24] <ikonia> stinger: I didn't say it didn't, I have xorg working fine
[11:24] <sxp> but i have not a sound file now :(
[11:24] <stinger> ikonia: so you have dual X sessions i.e sep X sessions ?
[11:25] <ikonia> stinger: not on this laptop but on other machines, yes,
[11:25] <dayo_> sxp: i'm not sure i understand why u can't install ubuntu
[11:25] <ikonia> stinger: I've used xinerama for a few years
[11:25] <stinger> ikonia: what version of kde may i ask ?
[11:25] <ikonia> join #freenode
[11:25] <sxp> dayo_: i do not want to install ubuntu!
[11:25] <ikonia> oops
[11:25] <ikonia> stinger: I'm not using kde - the desktop doesn't matter
[11:25] <gmathews> dayo_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112405/
[11:25] <dayo_> sxp: i see that. but i don't see *why*
[11:25] <stinger> ikonia: oh i see i don't want to use xinerma i prefer to have two X sessions
[11:25] <sxp> i want only to test if my board sound is ok or not
[11:26] <diakhal> diakhal
[11:26] <sxp> because i use debian lenny
[11:26] <ikonia> stinger: xinerama is two xservers
[11:26] <ikonia> stinger: then join #debian
[11:26] <ikonia> stinger: sorry - not you
[11:26] <FloodBot1> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:26] <ikonia> sxp: then join #debian
[11:26] <sxp> ikonia, my problem is with ubuntu!
[11:26] <koshar2> sxp why dont you use a default supported codec like ogg?
[11:26] <stinger> ikonia: can i see a copy of your xorg please ?
[11:26] <Mahalo> sxp: You use Debian and you are asking why your liveCD does not save settings?
[11:27] <ikonia> sxp: sorry, you just said it was with debian
[11:27] <stinger> ikonia: so do you have a menu on each screen ?
[11:27] <ikonia> stinger: why, my xorg config is not relevant to your setup
[11:27] <ikonia> stinger: yes, you can do that
[11:27] <sxp> Mahalo: yes
[11:27] <punter> gmathews:well sometimes the issue is more complex
[11:27] <stinger> ikonia: do you use nvidia drivers ?
[11:27] <diakhal> je suis nouveau.on peut séxprimer en francais dans ce forum?
[11:27] <ikonia> stinger: errr, on some desktops yes
[11:27] <sxp> i do not speak english, is my first problem
[11:27] <Mahalo> sxp: It is not saving settings because it is runningthe OS from the CD.
[11:27] <ikonia> stinger: not all
[11:28] <punter> gmathews:do this sudo apt-get -f install libkonq5-dev
[11:28] <sxp> Mahalo: i understand that
[11:28] <dayo_> gmathews: try downloading the .deb of  libpcre3 (= 7.6-2.1ubuntu1) then use sudo dpkg -i <debfilename> to install
[11:28] <sxp> but, i do not know where the things are installs when i have the live cd running
[11:28] <ikonia> sxp: in ram
[11:28] <willis_> sxp:  to a ram disk i belive.. and they get lost whenyou reboot
[11:29] <Mahalo> sxp: Then...? You can find any soundfiles you need online...
[11:29] <sxp> ok ok!
[11:29] <gmathews> dayo_: the package i am looking for is kdelibs5-dev - let me download that and see
[11:29] <sxp> Mahalo: no, because i can not access to the X
[11:29] <koshar2> sxp with a usb stick you can create a live session with persistance
[11:29] <gmathews> punter: he package i am looking for is kdelibs5-dev - let me download that and see
[11:29] <sxp> i have problems with the resolution, i was modified the section display
[11:29] <sxp> of xorg.conf
[11:30] <dayo_> gmathews: ok. but install the .deb of the 7.6-2.1 version might solve that dependency issue
[11:30] <sxp> and restarted gdm sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[11:30] <k1ko> I was wondering... can I make my computer fly? :D
[11:30] <Mahalo> sxp: Take note of the file that is being used, then, when you get back into your Debian OS and online just search for it.
[11:30] <punter> gmathews:ok
[11:31] <sxp> Mahalo: i need only to play an audio file with the console in ubuntu
[11:32] <koshar2> sxp can you use an audio file of a format suported natively fom ubuntu
[11:32] <sxp> koshar2: yes!
[11:32] <Mahalo> sxp: You want to play a file from the CD... seriosusly?
[11:32] <sxp> ...
[11:32] <nyaa> sxp I sent you a dialogue
[11:33] <koshar2> sxp jsut use mplayer and an ogg file

[11:36] <PC_Nerd> Im running the live CD (8.10) and I cannot see any partitions through the partition editor..... is this a bad/weird sign?  Im used to it discovering my partitions
[11:37] <koshar2> PC_Nerd can gparted see any?
[11:37] <ziroday> PC_Nerd: whats the output of fdisk -l ?
[11:37] <k1ko> PC_Nerd: HD type? SATA maybe?
[11:37] <Mahalo> Bueno
[11:38] <PC_Nerd> fdisk -l gives expected output ( I think) ,it lists the partitions and the sizes look correct... gparted doesnt see any, and has "create new partition table" option
[11:38] <Mahalo> OK, I'll ask again... Anyone good with WEP and especially with ipwraw and one of the airs
[11:39] <koshar2> PC_Nerd have you ignored the pull down menu to change device in gparted?

[11:41] <Mahalo> OK, I'll ask again... Anyone good with WEP and especially with ipwraw especially regarding rtl8187l
[11:42] <Mahalo> Or does anyone have a pointer?
[11:43] <HotRod> I was wondering if there was anyone that could help me out iam Running Ubuntu and i wanted to make a usb boot up off of my Acer Boot up disk for my other computer that crashed

[11:50] <Pirate_Hunter> hi how do I change the system language from english to portuguese through cli?

[11:54] <Pirate_Hunter> hi how do I change the system language from english to portuguese through cli?
[11:56] <koshar2> adaptr besides thats a pcu limitation rather than a 64bit address bus limitation
[11:56] <paul_> can anybody give me a hand with ATI driver problems
[11:57] <adaptr> koshar2: yes, it is a CPU limitation, which limits the amount of addressable memory, no matter where this memory is located

[12:09] <John_Ribbonstalk> I'm having a bit of a problem with some off my apps

[12:09] <jedi06> i'm going to write over my previous install 32bit with 64bit so i can install 4gb of ram and I chose to use the entire disk when it asked me Should i do it manually instead?  Will the swap by only 2gb when it should be 4gb?

[12:09] <binarymutant> joerack, did you reload in synaptic? or sudo apt-get update?
[12:09] <mrwes> joerack: I know the wine repo has been down on and off the last couple of days
[12:10] <joerack> I am using 8.10 superubuntu- is that bad
[12:10] <phorensic> jedi06: I don't think yu need 4 gb of swap even for 4 gb of ram
[12:10] <John_Ribbonstalk> Everything's screwed up like the resolution is wrong, but im not sure how to change it
[12:10] <gordonjcp> joerack: sounds like your repositories are broken somehow
[12:10] <joerack> binarymutant, synaptic
[12:10] <binarymutant> joerack, if mrwes is right, then that error makes sense sorry
[12:10] <momomo> jedi06: its ok to use the default of the installer.
[12:10] <gordonjcp> John_Ribbonstalk: did it happen after playing a game?
[12:11] <lyhana> momomo: got an error with `wget` : Resolving snapshots.madwifi.org... failed: Name or service not known.
[12:11] <joerack> do you guys advise ubuntu 8.10? I've had serious problems with it
[12:11] <John_Ribbonstalk> no, its since I installed them, and only a couple programs
[12:11] <joerack> 8.04 WAY better
[12:11] <momomo> lyhana: is wget called by an  ubuntu package or program?
[12:11] <pip> please any one gelp me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1056812
[12:11] <phorensic> lyhana: im sure you know but make sure the url is correct if it needs www in frotn or whatever it will make a difference
[12:12] <NimbleRabit> Anytime I try to watch a video with any player it constantly flashes with this black checkerboard pattern, anybody have any idea what that might be?
[12:12] <gordonjcp> John_Ribbonstalk: can you fix it in Preferences->Screen Resolution?
[12:12] <jedi06> well its putting it all on one ext3 partition shouldn't i have one for boot ext2 and so on
[12:12] <mrwes> joerack: I don't have any issues with 8.10 on my laptop
[12:12] <phorensic> jedi06: You just need 2 partitions min. one for / and one for swap space
[12:12] <Pirate_Hunter> bullgard4, there is no such manual as setlocale or at least not on my system
[12:13] <jedi06> well why do ppl make the boot partition and so on
[12:13] <jedi06> i will be dual booting btw
[12:13] <phorensic> jedi06: Of course you can mount home fold in different partition if u want too
[12:13] <John_Ribbonstalk> gordonjcp: I tried a couple other resolutions but nothing changed
[12:13] <phorensic> jedi06: what are you dual booting xp and ubuntu?
[12:13] <momomo> jedi06: risk mitigation for professional setups
[12:13] <binarymutant> pip, reload your thread, I posted a reply
[12:13] <lyhana> momomo phorensic it's a command given in the ubuntu doc you gave to me :
[12:13] <lyhana> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
[12:13] <lyhana> wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-<IP_ADDRESS>/madwifi-hal-<IP_ADDRESS>-r3835-20080801.tar.gz
[12:13] <mrwes> jedi06: I would also research having a /home partition, that is if you always want fresh installs instead of upgrading. This will protect your /home files during a fresh install
[12:13] <icare> bonjour
[12:13] <gordonjcp> John_Ribbonstalk: did you change the refresh rate too?
[12:14] <John_Ribbonstalk> I'll try that
[12:14] <bullgard4> Pirate_Hunter: Do you have installed the DEB program package 'locales'?
[12:14] <phorensic> lyhana: who was having an issue?? you or the other guy?
[12:14] <John_Ribbonstalk> gordonjcp: It seems 60Hz is my only option
[12:14] <jedi06> phrensic yes
[12:14] <lyhana> phorensic:  a friend of mine
[12:15] <G__81> my windows FAT partitions alone dont get mounted properly automatically when i log in to Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu 8.10 how do i enable this to happen
[12:15] <G__81> i tried adding it in fstab but it does not work
[12:15] <G__81> i dont know whether what mistake i am making
[12:15] <G__81> can someone help me
[12:15] <G__81> on this
[12:15] <jedi06> so I need a root, boot home and swap
[12:15] <phorensic> jedi06: what you should do is use the windows installer, set 3 partitions only format one with ntfs (for windows), and leave the other two untouched until windows is installed. Then once that is done install ubuntu in the given partitions and wallah-done
[12:16] <mrwes> jedi06: I would go with /   /swap and /home
[12:16] <phorensic> jedi06: You don't have do /home but for reinstalls I can be a blessing
[12:16] <s0101> Hi i am trying to make a remote connection for the first time to a computer on my router but when i write the name of that computer it says that connection is closed
[12:16] <jedi06> well there is a problem installing xp on this laptop so i have to start with ubuntu
[12:17] <phorensic> jedi06: what is the problem.. i would really suggest windows first
[12:17] <bullgard4> lyhana: Please install the DEB program package 'madwifi-tools' that Ubuntu provides. External sources should only be tapped in an emergency.
[12:17] <jedi06> a blue screen of death
[12:17] <phorensic> when y ou install it it gives you blue screen?
[12:17] <jedi06> I think there are protected partitions that windows can't touch and it fails
[12:17] <lyhana> bullgard4: ok
[12:18] <phorensic> jedi06: what you should do if you think that is the case is zero fill the drive first
[12:18] <jedi06> well when it boots from cd it loads drivers then says starting setup windows xp then it give me blue screen of death saying check for viruses or check disk
[12:18] <bullgard4> [Audacious] Audacious > Audacious Preferences > Replay Gain >  Miscellaneous. What is the difference between  'Preamp' and 'Default gain'?
[12:18] <lyhana> i've a problem with my wacom graphire2, when i put down my pen out of the tablet, the cursor run on the top left corner
[12:19] <jedi06> phorensic how do i zero fill the hard drive
[12:19] <phorensic> oh you could have bad sectors on the disk or something.. what type of drive is it?
[12:19] <John_Ribbonstalk> jedi06: try dban
[12:19] <jedi06> not surre
[12:19] <jedi06> dban?
[12:19] <momomo> lyhana: the new location is http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/
[12:19] <phorensic> jedi06: if maxtor drive, get maxblast and use their utility, or seagate use theirs
[12:20] <John_Ribbonstalk> jedi06: dereck's boot 'n' nuke
[12:20] <lyhana> momomo: thx
[12:20] <phorensic> jedi06: There may be a way to do it with the liveCD? I think i recall someone saying you can use cat to output all zero's to the drive?
[12:21] <John_Ribbonstalk> jedi06: make a boot disk of dban, its a good thing to have anyway.
[12:21] <momomo> lyhana: please use ubuntu default package first, if they dont work, open up the hood
[12:21] <gordonjcp> John_Ribbonstalk: hmm, no idea
[12:21] <phorensic> jedi06: I have had drives i thought were toast.. i zero filled them, and they worked perfect for years after
[12:21] <John_Ribbonstalk> tons of options
[12:21] <phorensic> John_Ribbonstalk: what is dban again? just a disk utility?
[12:21] <lyhana> momomo: yep
[12:22] <phorensic> John_Ribbonstalk: Oh i just read ^^ sounds like its got some features
[12:22] <John_Ribbonstalk> phorensic: its a disk wiping utility. I think its on the Ultimate Boot CD, but the full version is better
[12:23] <John_Ribbonstalk> phorensic: for some reason i had a hard time finding it last time i looked though
[12:24] <John_Ribbonstalk> phorensic: yeah, its got 0 pass, and random filling with like 80 passes, for the terrorists among us.
[12:25] <gordonjcp> you don't need to wipe disks with 80 passes
[12:25] <gordonjcp> not unless they're extremely old
[12:25] <John_Ribbonstalk> you do if your hiding something
[12:25] <gordonjcp> John_Ribbonstalk: depends, do you want to make it clear that you're hiding something?
[12:25] <aleix> does anyone know why I can't access hosts names *.local. is there any config that forbids the use of "local" in the domain?
[12:25] <phorensic> John_Ribbonstalk:Wont a zero fill suffice????
[12:26] <jedi06> how do i find out what kind of harddrive i have or if there is any bad sectors?
[12:26] <phorensic> jedi06: may run chkdsk??
[12:26] <gordonjcp> John_Ribbonstalk: on any disk made in the past five years, and most in the past ten years, a single pass overwriting all sectors will zap any data beyond the possibility of recovery
[12:26] <John_Ribbonstalk> gordonjcp: see, if it was me, I'd just set it on fire and then bury it
[12:26] <phorensic> i forget if linux has that
[12:26] <jedi06> phorensic inside of ubuntu?
[12:26] <gordonjcp> jedi06: if you've got bad sectors, typically you'll see a lot of errors in dmesg
[12:27] <gordonjcp> jedi06: you'll also hear the drive clicking a lot
[12:27] <phorensic> jedi06: thats what I don't know if ubuntu has chkdsk built in or what?
[12:27] <John_Ribbonstalk> phorensic: The FBI are ninjas man, you can never be too careful
[12:27] <John_Ribbonstalk> but yeah, its not so much of a problem with newer disks
[12:27] <gordonjcp> John_Ribbonstalk: the FBI can be ninja pirates from space if they want, you cannot read data off a disk if it isn't there any more
[12:28] <Ev0> can anyone tell me if TorK is compatible with Firefox, or do I have to get Tor?
[12:29] <modiFy> why when I mrproper the ubuntu kernel, debian folder is removed also?
[12:30] <John_Ribbonstalk> Well, slap my a** and call me Sally, there it is: www.dban.org
[12:31] <modiFy> why if I mrproper the ubuntu kernel before build it, the debian folder is removed also? Is it a BUG?
[12:32] <phorensic> Anyone watching the superbowl tomorrow?
[12:32] <jedi06> how do i find out what kind of disk i have?
[12:32] <Rabbitbunny> phorensic: it's not that that method will render the data unreadable, it's that the method will make it unreadable to most people. The FBI has the manufacturer helping them. Build a small forge for actual security.
[12:33] <John_Ribbonstalk> Oh, I was having another problem too
[12:33] <phorensic> look in the case? I think anybrand should be able to be zerofilled by another brands software
[12:33] <Samma3l> hi there, can anyone help me with installing modules off the alternate cd from the CLI?
[12:33] <John_Ribbonstalk> 9 updates that wont download
[12:33] <sidewalk> is there any cool internet tv applications for linux?
[12:33] <modiFy> why if I mrproper the ubuntu kernel before build it, the debian folder is removed also? Is it a BUG?
[12:33] <Rabbitbunny> Samma3l: you mean packages?
[12:33] <John_Ribbonstalk> the kernel I guess
[12:33] <dns53> Samma3l what modules?
[12:33] <uni4dfx> jedi06: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=disk+info+linux
[12:34] <phorensic> sidewalk: such as mythtv??
[12:34] <Samma3l> Rabbitbunny, dns53: yeah packages. I'm trying to install wireless tools
[12:34] <Pirate_Hunter> bullgard4, nope dont think i do didnt even know there was a deb package
[12:35] <dns53> Samma3l you want to use wireless to install off?
[12:35] <Rabbitbunny> dns53: He needs to add the cd to his sources.
[12:35] <Rabbitbunny> Samma3l: You're going to need to edit sources.list, I just can't remember where it is right at this moment.
[12:35] <bullgard4> Pirate_Hunter: So you better install this package.
[12:36] <Samma3l> Rabbitbunny: thanks, I can find it
[12:36] <John_Ribbonstalk> yeah, linux-generic and all the headers and images wont download
[12:36] <phorensic> Samma3l: of course you can use the software sources button to edit that
[12:36] <Rabbitbunny> phorensic: not from the CLI.
[12:36] <Pirate_Hunter> bullgard4, looking online for it still the links im being given dont have the package
[12:36] <Samma3l> phorensic: what butan is that :P?
[12:36] <phorensic> Samma3l: in system adine-software sources. Oh hes in clil?
[12:37] <gordonjcp> phorensic: zero-filling a drive?
[12:37] <phorensic> gordonjcp: eh?
[12:37] <gordonjcp> Rabbitbunny: if you overwrite a drive, the FBI *cannot* read it back
[12:37] <Samma3l> Rabbitbunny: what would I call the source when I add it?
[12:37] <gordonjcp> phorensic: if you want to zero-fill a disk drive, say "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd<whatever> bs=512"
[12:38] <gordonjcp> Rabbitbunny: there is no way to recover something that isn't there any more
[12:38] <sidewalk> !tv
[12:38] <ShereKahn> Guys, sorry for the newbie question I could not find a definitive answer...

Is there a way to have the connexion proceeding without that ?
[12:38] <johan12> which is the best media player to use in firefox?
[12:38] <phorensic> crap anyone know how to escape from being in zoom mode? I accidently hit ctrl-r and now i move the mouse and it is panning around
[12:38] <gordonjcp> Rabbitbunny: you *could* on extremely old drives, but how many people are keeping their goat pr0n on ST506es?
[12:38] <uni4dfx> anyone know how fast samba is supposed to be?
[12:38] <gordonjcp> !best | johan12
[12:39] <bullgard4> Pirate_Hunter: (I hope we are speaking about Ubuntu version 8.04 or higher.) I am surprised that Synaptic does not offer you this package for download. In that case please check your repositories list.
[12:39] <gordonjcp> uni4dfx: it's limited by how fast your network is
[12:39] <uni4dfx> how fast is is on a 100mbit network
[12:39] <johan12> tried both totem and vlc, is wine better?
[12:39] <Rabbitbunny> Samma3l: there should be an example line listing the cd you installed from.
[12:39] <phorensic> wow that was annoying haha
[12:40] <jedi06> dmesg doesn't seem to be complaing much
[12:40] <Samma3l> Rabbitbunny: thanks, I think its commented out, hopefully that works
[12:40] <Rabbitbunny> Samma3l: Yup, that's the one.
[12:40] <momomo> johan12: totem and vlc are completely different from wine. what is your goal?
[12:41] <mercutio22> I installed KDE recently and my ubuntu splash screen was replaced by kubuntu's. Is it possible to revert that?
[12:41] <johan12> momomo: meant xinem playing inbeeded media in firefox
[12:41] <Pirate_Hunter> bullgard4, nvm
[12:41] <momomo> johan12: ah ok, trust ubuntu default i would say, only if problems arise search for alternatives
[12:41] <uni4dfx> jeez, so noone knows how fast samba is supposed to be? wow
[12:42] <Rabbitbunny> uni4dfx: Slow. it works with Windows.
[12:42] <ShereKahn> samba is not supposed to be fast ...
[12:42] <johan12> momomo: so i should stick with totem? to bad it screwed my color when resetting them in settings :'(
[12:42] <uni4dfx> cuz when i used slackware it was around 10MB/s ... with ubuntu it's around 3.5MB/s
[12:42] <bullgard4> Pirate_Hunter: Please explain the abbreviation 'nvm'. Does it stand for 'never mind'?
[12:42] <Rabbitbunny> bullgard4: Yes.
[12:43] <Samma3l> sweet im online again
[12:43] <momomo> johan12: so for your case totem is not an option, so totem is not "better". does it also happen with vlc?
[12:43] <Pirate_Hunter> bullgard4, you got it sorry wont use it again
[12:43] <gordonjcp> uni4dfx: is everything else exactly the same?
[12:43] <uni4dfx> scp is a bit faster i think
[12:44] <gordonjcp> uni4dfx: no, I mean, have you changed anything in your network apart from installing Ubuntu on a machine that previously had Slackware?
[12:44] <uni4dfx> well, yeah... i went from P3 500MHz to Duron 900MHz
[12:44] <bullgard4> Pirate_Hunter: Try to find this package on an Ubuntu CD. I am not sure but I believe it is on it.
[12:45] <Pirate_Hunter> bullgard4, doing so
[12:46] <diakhal_> diakhal
[12:46] <Rabbitbunny> uni4dfx: meaning you changed NICs too?
[12:46] <DStrevinas> Hello. I want to create a tar.gz archive of a path that contains multiple different permission. I create the archive as root. When a different user extracts these I want all the permissions to be default
[12:46] <DStrevinas> is this possible?
[12:47] <uni4dfx> uni4dfx: i actually kept the NICs
[12:47] <uni4dfx> lol i just wrote to myself
[12:47] <John_Ribbonstalk> heh
[12:48] <momomo> DStrevinas: you want to preserve the original permissions?
[12:48] <DStrevinas> no
[12:48] <DStrevinas> I just want to create an archive without containing permissions
[12:49] <momomo> DStrevinas: "without [..] permissions"?

[12:53] <Rabbitbunny> s0101_: what type of connection?
[12:53] <s0101_> dhcp
[12:53] <upd> hi, how can i manualy start cups, becouse i delete file in /etc/init.d/ and now my printer don't work ?
[12:53] <miha> worre: it seems it's already included  http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/727016.html http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=354924
[12:53] <s0101_> my router wants to use port 8080 and i also setup 8080 in the remote program on both sides
[12:54] <Rabbitbunny> upd: why not try reinstaing the files through a reinstall?
[12:54] <momomo> upd: better download the ubuntu cups package manually and hand copy the needed files
[12:54] <upd> i try twice but there is no file
[12:54] <s0101_> is there a conflict with my router?
[12:54] <pingpongpat> quick question... how can you in some way "map" a host name of another machine on the network to its IP address?  eg. i have another computer on my network with the hostname "patman-desktop2" and i want to be able to run "ssh patman-desktop2" ?
[12:54] <momomo> upd: better what Rabbitbunny said, i didnt intend to contradict with him
[12:54] <miha> upd: if you dont care for settings, apt-get remove --purge cupsys, apt-get install cupsys
[12:55] <binarymutant> s0101, what are you trying to do? I thought you were trying to connect to a machine remotely?
[12:55] <s0101_> yes
[12:55] <miha> upd: that definetly reinstall cupsys
[12:55] <Rabbitbunny> pingpongpat: This is the job of dhcp. as a hack you can hand edit /etc/hosts
[12:55] <upd> okey i will try
[12:55] <binarymutant> s0101, well do you want to connect to it through ssh or http or what?
[12:55] <Rabbitbunny> momomo: I'm a noob.
[12:55] <s0101_> anything that works
[12:55] <pingpongpat> Rabbitbunny: oh i see, thanks
[12:56] <momomo> Rabbitbunny: me too ;-)
[12:56] <Rabbitbunny> pingpongpat: np
[12:56] <s0101_> the easiest option
[12:56] <Rabbitbunny> momomo: :D
[12:56] <binarymutant> s0101, on the remote machine install openssh-server
[12:56] <s0101_> ok
[12:56] <upd> i reinstall it, but no file in /etc/init.d should i restart pc now ?
[12:56] <ewanMCF> ich bin back mit nen paar problemen
[12:56] <Rabbitbunny> ewanMCF: #ubuntu-de
[12:56] <binarymutant> s0101_, after you install it, on the client machine, ssh <ip #>
[12:56] <ortsvorsteher> !de | ewanMCF
[12:57] <miha> upd: /etc/init.d/cupsys ?
[12:57] <DStrevinas> momomo: maybe it is better to create a copy of the folder, setting the default permissions before tarring?
[12:57] <miha> upd: did you 'purge' it.. that means clean all configuration, not just binaries
[12:57] <s0101_> ok
[12:57] <upd> miha: ther is no file cup*, and yes i purge it
[12:57] <miha> hm
[12:57] <miha> upd: apt-get install cupsys          after that?
[12:57] <momomo> DStrevinas: i havent yet fully understood your goal, but that would be possible, yes
[12:57] <s0101_> and after that?
[12:57] <miha> upd: dpkg-reconfigure cupsys   is useful too
[12:58] <lvs> list
[12:58] <momomo> DStrevinas: you might also read on wikipedia about 'umask'. its a concept that *might* help you
[12:58] <upd> miha: yes after install cupsys, dpkg also don't help
[12:58] <miha> upd: hm
[12:59] <binarymutant> s0101_, after that you'll be in your remote machine from the client :)
[12:59] <miha> upd: well i can send you my version, 8.10 ubuntu, didnt change :)
[12:59] <miha> if it's just init.d
[12:59] <xevil> upd: did you delete the cups file from init.d ?
[12:59] <s0101_> cheers but should i enter that machines ip or something?
[12:59] <upd> i would be happy if you send my
[12:59] <upd> xevil: yes
[13:00] <xevil> why?

[13:00] <miha> upd: http://www.wolfey.si/tmp/cups  (and rest check it so i aint spywaring him :)
[13:00] <s0101_> exactly like you wrote or would it be different in my machine?
[13:00] <Rabbitbunny> lol
[13:01] <binarymutant> s0101_, ssh -u <remote username> <remote ip #>
[13:01] <binarymutant> s0101_, anything in <> you change to meet your needs
[13:01] <dimitris> Quick question. How can I disable x temporarily to install the nvidia driver? CTRL+ALT+F1 just shows me power info instead of a terminal.
[13:02] <momomo> upd, miha checked :-)
[13:02] <John_Ribbonstalk> binarymutant: yeah, it was the effect. How do I enable dragging windows between desktops though? That was actually usefull.
[13:02] <upd> miha: thanks i will restart pc now
[13:02] <miha> dimitris: 'sudo killall -9 gdm' to stop respawning login... ctrl+backspace in X kills it, then just 'sudo gdm'
[13:02] <miha> upd: n
[13:02] <miha> upd: just
[13:02] <miha> upd: /etc/init.d/cups restart
[13:02] <dimitris> miha: thnx :-)
[13:02] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, uh... ctrl+shift+<some number like 1 - 4 or something>

[13:03] <John_Ribbonstalk> binarymutant: thanks
[13:03] <upd> i'm root
[13:03] <miha> upd: chmod +x cups
[13:03] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, you can also right click the window and it's under "Move to another workspace", if the other method doesn't work
[13:03] <miha> upd: so it's executable?
[13:03] <Rabbitbunny> diakhal_: You're missing some words there.
[13:04] <John_Ribbonstalk> binarymutant: I know, but I like dragging
[13:04] <upd> miha: i forget chmod, it is restarted cups now
[13:04] <diakhal_> i have problem to delete completely some files even if i use synaptic.need help
[13:04] <John_Ribbonstalk> hmm
[13:04] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, you can always get a better video card to run both compiz and videos, what driver are you using for the video card?
[13:04] <miha> upd: try localhost:631, that's cups admin
[13:04] <miha> http://localhost:631
[13:05] <upd> miha: it works now, thanks you
[13:05] <miha> np

[13:06] <Wunderbar> minor issue with gnome do over here
[13:06] <Wunderbar> who's listening??
[13:06] <Rabbitbunny> Wunderbar: Don't ask to ask.
[13:06] <binarymutant> Wunderbar, I'm listening
[13:06] <Superritchman> I search server
[13:06] <Wunderbar> :(
[13:06] <zagabar> Yo.
[13:06] <binarymutant> sup
[13:06] <Wunderbar> it shuts off randomly
[13:06] <John_Ribbonstalk> binarymutant: ATI Radeon proprietary drivers, its a laptop so there isnt much room to upgrade
[13:07] <Wunderbar> when its working its great
[13:07] <zagabar> I downloaded super maryo chronicles. It was a tar.gz so I unzipped it. What shoul I do next? There are some random files. :S
[13:07] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, onboard video probably isn't that great sorry :(
[13:07] <zagabar> install-sh is among the,
[13:07] <Wunderbar> but i've gotten use to using it
[13:07] <Rabbitbunny> Wunderbar: Read your system log and find out why it dies.
[13:07]  * miha now knows why people use nvidia.. so that composite extension works with direct rendering. ati doesnt do that, but rendering is fasteR:)
[13:07] <binarymutant> Wunderbar, your computer shuts off?
[13:07] <Wunderbar> no, just gnome do
[13:07] <Superritchman> Where I must go, when I want playing?
[13:07] <Wunderbar> but it's essentially the means by which i navigate
[13:07] <momomo> zagabar: ls -al | pastebin
[13:08] <momomo> zagabar: ls -al | pastebinit
[13:08] <zagabar> But when I try to run install-sh, it tells me that no input file is specified.
[13:08] <zagabar> Okay.
[13:08] <John_Ribbonstalk> binarymutant: yeah I know. I think someone showed me how to enable effect individually once...
[13:08] <binarymutant> Wunderbar, run it from the terminal and pastebin any errors
[13:08] <anonymko>  irc.erebos-nyx.net
[13:08] <anonymko> #pantha
[13:08] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, ccsm or something like that
[13:09] <zagabar> http://pastebin.com/f77428918
[13:09] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, you might be able to do the edge flips without compiz, but I don't know how :/
[13:10] <John_Ribbonstalk> binarymutant: Community Climate System Model?
[13:10] <momomo> !compile | zagabar
[13:10] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, Compiz Config System Manager
[13:10] <binarymutant> John_Ribbonstalk, but the program is called ccsm
[13:10] <nyaa> you can install the compiz fusion icon from add/remove applications to bring that up too
[13:10] <John_Ribbonstalk> binarymutant: oh yeah
[13:12] <Wunderbar> system log?/
[13:13] <Wunderbar> no option for that in system tools
[13:13] <binarymutant> Wunderbar, run it from a terminal and pastebin all the output
[13:13] <zagabar> It looked cumbersome to compile it, I have never done that. =(
[13:13] <zagabar> Are there some download here that doesn't require that?
[13:13] <zagabar> http://www.secretmaryo.org/index.php?page=game_downloads&sid=?sid=
[13:13] <FloodBot1> zagabar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:13] <Wunderbar> looked in /var/log
[13:13] <Wunderbar> couldn't find it
[13:13] <Rabbitbunny> binarymutant: He said it 'randomly' dies, which I'm going to assume means it could take hours.
[13:13] <binarymutant> zagabar, thats a fun game :)
[13:14] <binarymutant> Rabbitbunny, take hours to run from a terminal?
[13:14] <Rabbitbunny> binarymutant: Take hours to die.
[13:14] <zagabar> binarymutant: Nice, but do I have to compile it to install it?
[13:15] <momomo> zagabar: you see the ubuntu logo on the webpage? ;-)
[13:15] <pkundu> hi I have reinstalled the windows xp, after that rebooted from the ubuntu 8.04 live cd and did the grub install

[13:17] <Mahmud> hi can someone help me please
[13:18] <Mahmud> i been struggling for at least 2-3 days trying to install ubuntustudio
[13:18] <Mahmud> i havent got a cd rom which works
[13:18] <binarymutant> s0101_, go to Places->Connect to Server and change the service type to ssh, fill it in with your own details. Might be easier than the terminal for you
[13:18] <Mahmud> and have been trying to install it via the usb
[13:18] <Rabbitbunny> Mahmud: have you though of checking the md5sum?
[13:18] <s0101_> when i go to system-settings-remote and check the name it says vinagre admin:0
[13:18] <Mahmud> but whichever version i take it always fails after selecting keyboard
[13:19] <Mahmud> and asks to mount cd rom
[13:19] <Mahmud> and cannot
[13:19] <binarymutant> s0101_, go to Places->Connect to Server and change the service type to ssh, fill it in with your own details. Might be easier than the terminal for you
[13:19] <Mahmud> and doesnt let the install continue..
[13:19] <silv3r_m00n> ok got it its nvidia-settings
[13:19] <s0101_> which ip should i put in ?
[13:19] <Mahmud> well, i have now downloaded, ubuntustudio 8.04, 8.10 and ubuntu jaunty thingie..
[13:19] <Rabbitbunny> Mahmud: Stop using the enter key as puncuation. Check the md5sum of the file you downloaded.
[13:20] <binarymutant> s0101_, the remotes IP
[13:20] <Rabbitbunny> silv3r_m00n: Thanks for letting us know.
[13:20] <Mahmud> ok, how do i check that?
[13:20] <s0101_> it looks like this on the remote
[13:20] <s0101_> http://pastebin.com/m52d5bf5f
[13:21] <miha> death.si? fellow countryman, good domainname
[13:21] <miha> hehe
[13:21] <s0101_> do you belive my router can interfer
[13:21] <Rabbitbunny> Mahmud: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[13:21] <diakhal_> ok.thanks
[13:21] <binarymutant> s0101_, what's that from? ifconfig?
[13:22] <John_Ribbonstalk> alright, g'night guys
[13:22] <Rabbitbunny> night.
[13:22] <s0101_> ip route
[13:22] <binarymutant> s0101_, pastebin ifconfig
[13:22] <trancefat> Hi all, sometimes when i rollover on the maximize, close or minimize button of a window on the top right, the title bar flickers and the colors get garbled. How should i fix this?
[13:22] <binarymutant> s0101_, from the remote server not from the client
[13:23] <Rabbitbunny> clarks: It's extremely rude to pm people without asking.
[13:23] <s0101_> http://pastebin.com/m76a7c81c
[13:23] <clarks> Rabbitbunny, sorry
[13:24] <binarymutant> s0101_, are you using the "Connect to Server" from the menu or are you still trying to use the ssh from the terminal?
[13:24] <binarymutant> s0101_, ssh -u <username><IP_ADDRESS>
[13:24] <binarymutant> s0101_, ssh -u <username> <IP_ADDRESS>             srry
[13:25] <Rabbitbunny> clarks: asto how to tell if your ubuntu is hacks, That's going to depend on your particular security routine. A large indicator would be a process like 'SPAM_THEM_ALL' or some other dubious name taking up 93% of your CPU.
[13:25] <oCean_> ssh -u ??
[13:25] <s0101_> and the user name must be vinagre admin:0
[13:25] <binarymutant> my bad
[13:25] <clarks> Rabbitbunny, how to check it?
[13:25] <elatio> could anyone tell me a good site for gnome themes?
[13:25] <Rabbitbunny> clarks: No idea.
[13:25] <binarymutant> s0101_, ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[13:26] <e-frame> elatio: gnome-look.org
[13:26] <elatio> thank you
[13:26] <e-frame> :)
[13:26] <oCean_> s0101_: what is it that you want to do?
[13:26] <Daremonai> how can i make it so that when i delete something from ftp (I use proftpd as my ftp server), the stuff goes to trash instead of permanently deleted?
[13:27] <Rabbitbunny> Daremonai: Create a folder called 'ftp_trash' and move stuff there when you're thinking about deleting it.
[13:27] <s0101_> setup a remote connection to a computer that is connected to my dlink router
[13:28] <Wolv3> #ubuntu-es
[13:28] <Wolv3> sry
[13:28] <elatio> e-frame, which category would i use to find general shell themes? (e.g; human, clearlooks)
[13:28] <Daremonai> Rabbitbunny.. it's more for deleting by mistake... I just selected all my mounted hard drives and clicked delete, when i was trying to delete the download queue... I lost some important chunks of information.. I need to prevent that from happening again.
[13:28] <oCean_> s0101_: I see, but ssh and vnc are different options to do so
[13:28] <Rabbitbunny> Daremonai: man chmod.
[13:28] <s0101_> which one is the easyest?
[13:29] <bob123> is there a chance of Unbut supporting the Asus N10 J at somepoint?
[13:29] <oCean_> s0101_: if you don't have the need to use graphical environment, just use ssh. That will 'breng' you to the other machine on commandline
[13:29] <Daremonai> Rabbitbunny... mmm... yeah, that would mean I won't be able to delete anything anymore.. ;)
[13:29] <s0101_> i would like to use the grapchic
[13:29] <schipilliti> salve
[13:29] <oCean_> s0101_: if you do want to connect graphically, you'll have to setup vnc and/or xdmcp
[13:30] <bob123> Someone made a guide, but wondering if it'll ever be officially supported: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/asus+n10j
[13:30] <Rabbitbunny> Daremonai: Yeah, that's the thing about the power linux gives you, responsibility ;)  Don't worry, I deleted over a years CAD work in one night of drunken installs
[13:30] <e-frame> elatio: go find metacity, or gtk, or else depends on your system
[13:30] <s0101_> I tried to use vnc that comes with ubuntu 8.10 but it says connection closed when i try to connect
[13:30] <oCean_> s0101_: vnc requires a vnc server (not a client, which vinagre is)
[13:31] <s0101_> do i need to download vnc on both places?
[13:31] <oCean_> s0101_: but you cannot mixup the ssh and vnc thing.
[13:31] <oCean_> s0101_: download/install vnc4server on the machine you want to connect to
[13:31] <Daremonai> Rabbitbunny, haha :) I've deleted GBs of stuff, and I live with a 128kbps connection... imagine that :P - redownloading was a pain! - but the things i deleted today were files I submitted in a competition... and some files for uni! so that ain't nice (and can't be re-downloaded)
[13:32] <Rabbitbunny> Daremonai: Ouch.
[13:32] <e-frame> :D
[13:32] <Daremonai> Rabbitbunny, yeah.. :) hehe!
[13:32] <e-frame> good luck then :p
[13:32] <oCean_> s0101_: on *that* machine start the vncserver on a display of your choice (not 0) like "vnc4server :1", it'll ask you to enter/create a password
[13:32] <unop> oCean_, you can run VNC over SSH, sure
[13:32] <oCean_> unop: yes i know, but I don't think that's what he wants/needs.. at this point
[13:33] <s0101_> and on my machine?
[13:33] <Rabbitbunny> I concur.
[13:33] <oCean_> s0101_: the vnc4client
[13:33] <oCean_> s0101_: however default in applications > internet is option "remote desktop viewer" which also will do
[13:33] <s0101_> Thats the one i tried
[13:34] <oCean_> s0101_: but at that point, there was no vncSERVER running at the other machine, right?
[13:34] <s0101_> and thats the first question i had how to set it up correct on both sides with my dl604
[13:34] <s0101_> no
[13:34] <s0101_> but it have remote desktop viewe
[13:34] <oCean_> s0101_: ok. So install the vnc4server, vnc4client, and you're ready to go
[13:35] <elatio> How do I install GTK themes on ubuntu?
[13:35] <s0101_> on both sides?
[13:35] <oCean_> s0101_: client on 1 site, server on the machine you want to connect to
[13:35] <worre> how to mount .iso
[13:35] <worre> ?
[13:35] <oCean_> mount -o loop name.iso /mountpoint
[13:36] <s0101_> ok
[13:36] <worre> ok
[13:36] <e-frame> elatio: go to system, preferences, appearrance
[13:36] <e-frame> elatio: choose install, done.
[13:37] <s0101_> thanks i will try this
[13:37] <binarymutant> why does answering questions in launchpad give more karma than doing bugs?
[13:38] <Rabbitbunny> people like to hear words.
[13:38] <binarymutant> :) bugs are more important though
[13:39] <Rabbitbunny> users are important, people will fix bugs without karma, but most the time I can't be bothered to answer questions.

[13:39] <Mahmud> hi, the checksum thingies are fine....
[13:39] <binarymutant> Rabbitbunny, lol
[13:40] <Rabbitbunny> Mahmud: okay, so oyu're got good CD's. what are they and what's going wrong?
[13:40] <Mahmud> it just keeps wanting to mmount the cd rom for the installation instead of using everything from the usb
[13:40]  * Rabbitbunny forgot
[13:40] <Mahmud> ok, i havent got a working cd rom
[13:41] <Mahmud> so i have been trying to install ubuntustudio using a bootable usb
[13:41] <Mahmud> but whenever i get past the selecting of keyboard type, it trys to mount and access the cd rom, and says it cannot access it to get files and asks to retry or abort installation

[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Mahmud How did you create the flash image..  Good info at pendrivelinux.com
[13:43] <Mahmud> yeah i think i used one of those methods, i have been using the unetbootin thingie
[13:43] <Mahmud> and it creates the bootable usb fine enough
[13:44] <Goundy> Hi
