[00:00] <LapTirma> Kir
[00:00] <tacoma949> Kirill_, haha whats up, what are u trying to do?
[00:00] <mibdavid> can someone point me in a direction where I can see what the options in the live disk boot menu mean?
[00:00] <LapTirma> Kirill_: did you try gparted?
[00:00] <Kirill_> Not yet
[00:00] <erUSUL> syockit: if you want a file browser for terminal use Midnight commander
[00:00] <tacoma949> LapTirma, i tried gparted, its not really all to be what it looks to be :/
[00:00] <erUSUL> !info mc | syockit
[00:01] <sonink> Has anyone ever had problems where the X server doesn't allow full resolution and color depth if a system is unable to pull an IP address?  Or does this sound like a misdiagnosis?  I think it may be due to the connection to the monitor.  Is there a way to check X error logs to find the cause?
[00:01] <tacoma949> ugh, i need to clean my room :(
[00:01] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> I have a 500GB SATA drive formatted into Journaled HFS+ and filled with 316GB of data. I have a newly purchased unformatted 1000GB External USB drive with 0 data on it and showing 5 megabytes of free space.
[00:02] <tacoma949> sonink, how old is the monitor, lol
[00:02] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> I need to move 316GB worth of data to 1000GB drive and have it readable by a Mac. Files are larger than 10GB
[00:02] <Kirill_> I have Ubuntu, WinXP, Vista, Clonezilla and bootable flash drive at my disposal
[00:03] <tacoma949> Kirill_, have u tried formating the drive yet? or is that where your stuck?
[00:03] <DasEi> sonink: iop resolvinc and the x-system don't rely on each other
[00:03] <DasEi> ip*
[00:03] <solusdelgar1> in windows i bridged my wireless and wired connections allowing my xbox 360 to connect to the internet through my laptop. is it possible to do this in ubuntu? my wireless card seems to be working fine in ubuntu so far so drivers should not be a problem
[00:03] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> That's where I'm stuck :( And even if I manage to format it, I don't think I can WRITE to it
[00:03] <DasEi> !ics | solusdelgar1
[00:04] <DasEi> solusdelgar1: possible, yes
[00:04] <tacoma949> Kirill_, because you think the drive is bad or just doing something wrong?
[00:04] <cptblood> well, cant u format it with osx filesystem?
[00:04] <solusdelgar1> thanks
[00:04] <sonink> tacoma, the monitor is a relatively new Dell LCD, but the system in question is one of two PC's connected to a Belkin 2-way KVM, which I think may be causing the problem.
[00:04] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> The drive was external in the past. I ripped it out of the chassis when it died. It seems to be working but is making clicking noises. I don't know how much longer it will last
[00:04] <solusdelgar1> i love this channel
[00:04] <DasEi> cptblood: see man mkfs for available filesystems
[00:04] <cptblood> and use macdisk in windows to write to the disk
[00:04] <Kirill_> cptblood -> Don't have an apple computer anywhere :(
[00:05] <cptblood> well, if u format the 1tb drive with ntfs, u can read from that in osx or whatever
[00:05] <Kirill_> cptblood -> Can you?
[00:05] <cptblood> writing outside windows is harder tho
[00:05] <cptblood> yes
[00:05] <sonink> dasEi, I didn't think they were dependent either but my boss thinks they are for some reason.  I think it might just be a coincidence that the box isn't pulling an IP
[00:05] <tacoma949> Kirill_, k, old trick, start light then u can go harder on it but a nice tap on the table with it will stop the clicking
[00:05] <cptblood> osx/linux can read from ntfs, writing is harder
[00:05] <Kirill_> yeah, my client will have no way of working with files then b/c this will be his only large storage
[00:06] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> so far all the files open up fine
[00:06] <DasEi> sonink: again, the xserver is not dependant from networking
[00:06] <cptblood> well, cant u use you client's hw to format it to hfs?
[00:06] <tacoma949> Kirill_,  once you get the transfer going it will hit spots that will make it click
[00:06] <Kirill_> He's kind of far away...
[00:07] <cptblood> how's he gonna utilize it then?
[00:07] <Kirill_> Thanks tacoma949, I'll keep that in mind
[00:07] <tacoma949> Kirill_, transfer like 20 to 50 gigs at a time so your always making positive progress to saving all the data
[00:07] <Kirill_> Well he will take it back and hook it up to his Mac and give me money lol
[00:07] <slerder> HEy guys. Im tryring to reinstall ubuntu but for some reason I cant boot from my only dvd-drive i have which is USB. I even disabled booting from hard drives, set usb-cdrom to first boot device... went directly to the boot menu and selected usb-cdrom and nothing it simply wont boot. what can i do ? Thanks. Ps i have a gigabyte EP45-UD3R
[00:07] <brett__> balls
[00:07] <sethm13> Hi everyone
[00:07] <tacoma949> sethm13, yo
[00:07] <sethm13> What's going on?
[00:07] <cptblood> otherwise, format with fat32 and split files at 4gb ;)
[00:08] <brett__> hello!
[00:08] <Kirill_> gparted can format to hfs+ i think
[00:08] <tacoma949> slerder, can u pull it out of its ubs sleve?
[00:08] <sethm13> Ok, I was wondering if anyone in here would be able to help me out. I'm having a problem with WINE
[00:08] <mibdavid> Hey LapTirma! the acpi off helped me load up ubuntu again, thanks alot!
[00:08] <erUSUL> !ask  | sethm13
[00:08] <Rabbitbunny> I'm trying to install libpcap-dev, it apt-get gets to 'Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com' and stalls, Hints?
[00:08] <sethm13> Oh, ok. Sorry about that.
[00:09] <tacoma949> sethm13, sure, i hate when they do that ask! thing lol, whatsup
[00:09] <LapTirma> mibdavid: YRW. If you want to boot to windows, you may to play with grub. Google it. Plenty of infor
[00:09] <LjL> Rabbitbunny: archive.ubuntu.com is currently down, wait a couple of minutes
[00:09] <Rabbitbunny> LjL: Oh. Thanks.
[00:10] <DasEi> cptblood: I think ntfs will best for your propose
[00:10] <LjL> Rabbitbunny: actually, it seems back up already - try now
[00:10] <cptblood> not me wh's got a problem, it's Kirill_
[00:10] <sethm13> :D
[00:10] <sethm13> Well, I'm having a problem trying to copy files into the C: directory for WINE. I can't seem to find the WINE folder. I go to my home folder, but there's no sign of .wine and I can't seem to find it elsewhere. Anybody have any ideas?
[00:10] <Rabbitbunny> LjL: ...So... you have a switch for the servers eh?
[00:10] <Kirill_> DasEi -> Will my client be able to open it and write to it on his MacOSX though....
[00:11] <LjL> Rabbitbunny: eh?
[00:11] <Rabbitbunny> sethm13: It's hidden, right click, "show hidden"
[00:11] <BOZG> sethm13: .wine is a hidden folder
[00:11] <Rabbitbunny> LjL: Worked perfectly, Thanks
[00:11] <sethm13> Oh. Wow. Thank you :)
[00:11] <DasEi> Kirill_: ntfs ? yes
[00:11] <sonink> DasEi: any idea if or how the KVM connection could be causing the problem?  I think a direct connection to the monitor has solved the problem in the past.  Does X have error logs I could check for hints?
[00:11] <tacoma949> sethm13, when ever there is a . in front of a file its linux's way of hiding a file
[00:11] <sethm13> Oh, yup. There it is. Thanks for the help everyone
[00:11] <tacoma949> sethm13, its there, just unhide :)
[00:12] <sethm13> Oh. That's good to know
[00:12] <tacoma949> sethm13, welcome
[00:12] <Kirill_> DasEi -> Sorry, I am just confused because I saw in some places that it could not
[00:13] <DasEi> sonink: kvm might be, check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors (KVM on), or do a customized xorg.conf, that overrides the (false) detection of kvm
[00:13] <mrwes> tacoma949, well..there are better ways to hide files and directories }:)
[00:14] <sonink> DasEi: okay.  I'll check that out.  Thanks
[00:14] <LapTirma> exit
[00:16] <tacoma949> mrwes, haha, very true, im mexican so i do it the cheep way
[00:16] <mrwes> tacoma949, ahh..I love Negro Especialle
[00:17] <mrwes> :)
[00:17] <Time`s_Witness> when does 9.04 come ? is the date known?
[00:17] <tacoma949> mrwes, fosho
[00:17] <syockit> erUSUL: holy tuna, this thing's powerful! why didn't I come across this sooner? thanks for telling!
[00:17] <DasEi> Kirill_: ntfs is fully supported by ubuntu, for mac there is a tool from paragon for full write-access
[00:17] <tacoma949> 24 days
[00:17] <tacoma949> 23
[00:17] <sbt> I have a new ibm thinkpad x200 with a core2 and 4gb of ram. I recently installed ubuntu, but only 2.9gb of ram is visible. somebody suggested to me that I should try to install the 64 bit version to make use of all the ram. What should I do?
[00:17] <DasEi> sbt:did you install 32 bit ?
[00:17] <DasEi> did*
[00:18] <tacoma949> sbt, go 64
[00:18] <Time`s_Witness> is it known if 9.04 will correct the bug with microphone of 8.10? That we can't make it work?
[00:18] <Kirill_> DasEi -> thanks but i have to assume the user of this drive is technically illeterate. My plan now is to format the drive in hfs+ using gparted and then use clonezilla to clone the drive
[00:18] <YiamiYo> hi...i want to make a bootable usb flash with linux...i have tried about 6-7 how to's but my usb never boot...i found this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-a-new-mbr-to-your-usb-flash-device/ and i think that is the answer in my problem since my usb is Kingston Data Traveler 4GB...but the tutorial is for ubuntu...can anyone tell me what to do at openSUSE?
[00:18] <tacoma949> Kirill_, bad choice
[00:19] <balrog__> how do you stop kile from loading the splash screen?
[00:19] <sbt> tacoma949: I thought core2 was a 32bit proc. will it work automatically with 64 bit?
[00:19] <DasEi> Kirill_: if the files arent too big, fat32 is another offer (no additional drivers)
[00:19] <DasEi> sbt: install 64 bit
[00:19] <DasEi> ram > sbt
[00:19] <tacoma949> sbt, ya just g 64
[00:19] <DasEi> !ram > sbt
[00:19] <sbt> ok thanks for the info
[00:20] <tacoma949> go* i mean
[00:20] <ChoboMog> Hey!  I'm familiar with using commands like "dropdownmenu" in Compiz (accessibility>Opacity, brightness and saturation>Opacity), and I've sued it to make my menus and Gnome panels transparent.  However, does anyone know the command to make the Calendar, which drops down below the clock, transparent?
[00:20] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> Whyy?
[00:20] <Kirill_> DasEi -> The files are 10GB+
[00:21] <tacoma949> ChoboMog, it looks cool but ull get tired of it in t-10hrs and just go right back to no transparent lol
[00:21] <DasEi> Kirill_: I see, sorry for me having no apple
[00:21] <unmasker> ask('vas');
[00:21] <tacoma949> Kirill_, because u said ur drive was clicking before
[00:23] <tacoma949> Kirill_, how  important is ur data to u? can u live without it or do u sleep with it at night?
[00:23] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> I actually hear no clicking noises. That was a second hand account from my client
[00:23] <Kirill_> It's important :P
[00:23] <tacoma949> Kirill_, what do u mean, the drive never clicked on u? o then clone it
[00:24] <ChoboMog> tacoma949, lol Yeah I know some transparencies can get annoying after a while, but I was hoping to give it a try.  I actually have my other menus' values set to like 90%, so they're only slightly transparent anyway.  I was just hoping to do the same for the calendar to make it look more unified.
[00:24] <mrwes> tacoma949, with dd ?
[00:24] <Mean_Admin> does Samba listen to all NIC cards by default ?
[00:24] <tacoma949> mrwes, que?
[00:24] <DasEi> Mean_Admin:nope, you configure it in smb.conf by ip
[00:24] <mrwes> tacoma949, clone the drive with dd ?
[00:25] <Huufarted> Anybody able to give me a hand with a NIC issue?  It's a gigabit NIC, lspci shows it as gigabit, but it links up as 100 megabit and transfers only go about 11 megabytes/sec instead of the usual 50
[00:25] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: all right thanks
[00:25] <tacoma949> mrwes, no, he said earlier that his drive was clicking then he was gonna clone it, but turns out that wasent what he ment
[00:25] <DasEi> Huufarted: what says ifconfig ?
[00:26] <Huufarted> DasEi: stand by a sec, please.
[00:26] <chop> =D
[00:26] <chop> hey guys )=
[00:26] <Ax3> !jaunty | Ax3
[00:26] <mrwes> DasE1, You set the smbusers in the smb.conf -- that's new to me
[00:27] <Huufarted> DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141057/   It's eth1
[00:27] <Huufarted> DasEi: ifconfig doesn't display link speed as far as I know, though.
[00:28] <keli> Enter text here...oi
[00:28] <keli> sou brasileira
[00:29] <keli> oi
[00:29] <Huufarted> test/quit
[00:29] <keli> ola
[00:29] <Huufarted> DasEi: sorry.  Did you respond?  Tried re-negotiating link speed.  Still gave me 100 mbit, though.
[00:30] <dyek> Hi! If I want to restore ALSA, PulseAudio, and Bluetooth packages to the initial state when Ubuntu Hardy is first installed, is there a specific dpkg-reconfigure command that I can run?
[00:30] <mrwes> Huufarted, did you add the smbuser?
[00:30] <DasEi> Huufarted: I'm just looking, had that option on an item 2 weeks ago, moment
[00:30] <Huufarted> mrwes: elaborate please?
[00:31] <mrwes> Huufarted, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba << pretty straight forward
[00:32] <Huufarted> mrwes, I apologize but I don't have any issues with Samba.
[00:32] <Huufarted> mrwes: I think you saw someone else's question, not mine.
[00:32] <Joeseph> Hi.  I'm using Ubuntu Studio Edition.  I recently purchased a new flat screen monitor--  It is capable of DVI and VGA inputs.  Would I be able to tell a difference if I put in a DVI capable video card and used that instead of my current VGA card?
[00:32] <mrwes> Huufarted, hrmm... sorry my bad :)
[00:32] <Huufarted> mrwes, I'll let it slide this time.  ;P
[00:33] <ianm_> Joeseph: do you see pixels bleeding into each other with the VGA?
[00:33] <mrwes> Huufarted, no sleep + work = mistakes
[00:33] <mrwes> heh
[00:33] <Huufarted> haha
[00:33] <ianm_> anyone have a GeForce 8200 on-board?  how is the Ubuntu support and performance?
[00:33] <nado> Huufarted, type iwconfig
[00:33] <karasuman> I have a quick question.  I want to open a program from the command line but be able to close the terminal window without closing the program.  for instance, gedit.  how do I do that?
[00:33] <Huufarted> nado, it's not wireless.  gigabit can't be wireless (with current technology)
[00:33] <Joeseph> ianm_: Not really...  Of course, this monitor is leaps and bounds ahead of the old CRT I had.
[00:33] <nado> Huufarted, oh my bad
[00:34] <nado> Huufarted, then install ethtool
[00:34] <mrwes> karasuman, use screen
[00:34] <ianm_> Joeseph: my guess is it would be better, but perhaps not in an important way
[00:34] <mrwes> !screen | karasuman
[00:35] <karasuman> I've used that, but it's still a little more clutter than I was hoping for.  :-/  Is there no way to unassociate a program from the shell if you opened it from the shell?
[00:35] <LjL> karasuman: well, for starters, you could always start it with Alt+F2 instead... anyway, nohup program &
[00:35] <LjL> mrwes: isn't screen a bit overkill?
[00:35] <Joeseph> ianm_: Alright.  I have a DVI card somewhere around here.... but it was giving me trouble before... I'll give it another try though. Thanks.
[00:35] <stevea_> hi i got a question if anyone has the time
[00:35] <mrwes> LjL, yah I guess so :)
[00:35] <DasEi> sudo ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000,  Huufarted
[00:35] <nado> Huufarted, then check this out : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-change-the-speed-and-duplex-settings-of-an-ethernet-card/
[00:35] <Huufarted> !ask | stevea_
[00:35] <kaveh> ok after a lot of google-ing i have failed to find a reason or even anyone else comment on this - anybody able to help me with this? ventrilo (voip) is giving me very loud upper-tones and no lowertones aswell some slight distortion on a codec/server that works fine on windows. im using alsa right now - also any command i use involving pulseaudio "fails to parse" - ill keep lookn but if anyone has any help they can offer?
[00:35] <karasuman> thank you, LjL, that's what I wanted. :)
[00:35] <Huufarted> nado, thanks.  :)  Checking that out now
[00:36] <mrwes> LjL, guess it depends on the process he wants to run
[00:36] <LjL> mrwes: well he did mention gedit
[00:36] <karasuman> I'm a she
[00:36] <mrwes> heh...pretty demanding process no? :)
[00:36] <karasuman> I just want to run octave and open new files as I need them without... clicking.  I don't know. :)
[00:37] <LjL> mrwes: err, what does gemanding have to do with it?
[00:37] <mrwes> LjL, it was a joke :(
[00:37] <mrwes> bad one
[00:37] <arrrghhh> anyone use mt-daap or firefly?
[00:37] <mrwes> arrrghhh, I do
[00:37] <Kirill_> wtf
[00:37] <Kirill_> gparted crashed on me!
[00:37] <arrrghhh> mrwes, did you install it from the repo's?
[00:38] <mrwes> arrrghhh, yes
[00:38] <karasuman> thanks again for the help, mrwes and LjL
[00:38] <Joeseph> Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Rhythmbox is planning on supporting transferring video to and from your ipod anytime soon? I'm getting frustrated having to use something else to transfer video.
[00:38] <stevea_> ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that?
[00:39] <arrrghhh> mrwes, mine fails, it runs for like 2 seconds and tells me it can't add a file... i was trying to compile a nightly (or something newer) and i can't resolve the dependencies...
[00:39] <Myxed> anybody in here using VPN to work?
[00:39] <DasEi> stevea_: little hard to follow, you want to use wubi ?
[00:39] <mrwes> arrrghhh, hrmm..well the repo version runs just fine, try that one and then edit the /etc/mt-daapd.conf file
[00:39] <Myxed> Let me rephrase, anybody in here able to connect to Juniper VPN using Ubuntu?
[00:40] <stevea_> did anyone read that?
[00:40] <arrrghhh> mrwes, i did, it runs for 2 secs and if i check my syslog it says it can't add 1 file.  it seemingly "crashes" after that, as it's no longer running.
[00:40] <arrrghhh> mrwes, maybe i should run it without any music first?
[00:40] <Huufarted> nado, what's the difference between mii-tool and ethtool?  I can't seem to get ethtool to make any changes.  I get a constant "Operation not permitted".  I am running the commands as root.
[00:40] <mrwes> arrrghhh, that's the purpose of running the repo version, as dependencies are met
[00:41] <jsphillips86> Anyone running Jaunty on a Macbook?
[00:41] <arrrghhh> mrwes, yes, that's why i tried the repo version first.  i only tried to compile after it failed to run.
[00:41] <mrwes> arrrghhh, you try going to the admin gui via your browser? http://localhost:3689 ?
[00:41] <nado> Huufarted, they are the same for what you want to do
[00:41] <balrog__> how do you stop kile from loading the splash screen?
[00:41] <Myxed> Huufarted from WOW Stormreaver???
[00:41] <Huufarted> nado, ok.
[00:41] <arrrghhh> mrwes, it's not there as mt-daap stops on that error.
[00:42] <stevea_> ok
[00:42] <mrwes> arrrghhh, did you edit the mt-daapd.conf file?
[00:42] <Huufarted> Myxed, correct.  Please send me a private tell in game or here to keep things on ctopic
[00:42] <stevea_> anyone?
[00:42] <jsphillips86> What is the command for me to upgrade to the beta?
[00:42] <arrrghhh> mrwes, yessir.  i think i should try running it w/o a music directory...
[00:43] <LjL> !jaunty > jsphillips86    (jsphillips86, see the private message from ubottu)
[00:43] <Myxed> VPN, Anyone?
[00:43] <mrwes> arrrghhh, what directory are you using?
[00:44] <arrrghhh> mrwes, for my music?
[00:44] <mrwes> arrrghhh, yah
[00:44] <jsphillips86> r
[00:44] <LjL> stevea_, i've read it, and i haven't understood a word of it
[00:44] <stevea_> ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that?
[00:44] <arrrghhh> mrwes, don't see how this helps, /media/200GB/Music/
[00:45] <mrwes> arrrghhh, I was just wondering if it was a permissions issue on the directory
[00:45] <stevea_> and why not its as plain as the nose on your face
[00:45] <arrrghhh> mrwes, well it doesn't fail on the *first* file.  unless it starts in the "d"s lol.
[00:45] <bc> what needs to be running so that a Windows client using Remote Desktop is able to connect to this Ubuntu box?
[00:45] <Slart> stevea_: what program are you talking about?
[00:45] <LjL> stevea_: if you say so. what is "this program"? who did you install ubuntu "in" windows? which "it" should setup drivers?
[00:45] <cwraig> does anyone know where i can get an nmap-4.85BETA5 deb so i can scan my windows clients for conficker
[00:45] <stevea_> ubuntu
[00:46] <arrrghhh> bc, uh the other way is easy.  not sure about the other way.
[00:46] <Slart> stevea_: ubuntu is an operating system.. quake 4 is a program
[00:46] <arrrghhh> bc, sorry said that retarded.  ubuntu -> win rdp = easy.  win -> ubuntu rdp, not sure.
[00:46] <Slart> stevea_: so you used wubi?
[00:46] <bc> arrrghhh: I've done it once before, but now something that is needed isn't running, and I have no idea what "it" was :)
[00:46] <stevea_> yes i know that thats what i,m talking about
[00:46] <nado> cwraig, apt-get install nmap ?
[00:46] <stevea_> ubuntu 8.10
[00:46] <LjL> stevea_: then explain it to us in the correct words
[00:47] <nado> cwraig, is that what you are looking for ?
[00:47] <arrrghhh> bc, well vino is the client in 8.10.  i don't know what a server would be, unless you used vnc...
[00:47] <LjL> if you know it - because we aren't mind readers
[00:47] <arrrghhh> or if there's some terminal services you can enable, i don't know.
[00:47] <LjL> stevea_: if your question was "i have installed Ubuntu using Wubi; i would prefer to install it natively, but will my video and other drivers work like they do in Wubi if i do that?" -- then the answer is "yes"
[00:47] <bc> arrrghhh: ahh vino is running. any idea what port it uses? nmap isn't available.. how else would I find out?
[00:47] <stevea_> ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that?
[00:47] <cwraig> nado, you need the beta5 build i cannot find a deb anywhere for it do you have any ideas where to look?
[00:48] <Slart> stevea_: I still don't understand.. you have installed ubuntu and it's working, right? what are you trying to do? install it again on another computer? install without wubi on the same computer? upgrade?
[00:48] <arrrghhh> bc, i think the default is 5900.
[00:48] <stevea_> no i was going to install it on this pc without it being installed in windows xp
[00:49] <bc> arrrghhh: I'll poke around, thanks
[00:49] <LjL> *sighs*
[00:49] <nado> cwraig, http://nmap.org/download.html
[00:49] <Slart> stevea_: that would be "reinstalling ubuntu but without using wubi"
[00:49] <nado> cwraig, just build it
[00:49] <arrrghhh> bc, i'm sure someone's done it.  g00gle :D
[00:49] <cwraig> nado, yea ill have to, thanks
[00:49] <Slart> stevea_: then I guess LjL's answer would be valid
[00:49] <stevea_> ok if i do that will i have problems with drivers for video and sound
[00:50] <DasEi> !hardware > stevea_
[00:51] <stevea_> or will ubuntu install all the drivers i will need for my system?
[00:51] <arrrghhh> stevea_, most drivers you'll need are built into the kernel.  the only ones that aren't are closed-source (for the most part) like video cards, some wifi controllers, etc.
[00:52] <Myxed> stevea_:  it should install all the drivers you need
[00:52] <LjL> stevea_: it will install the same drivers that it would install when you install it "in windows xp".
[00:52] <bc> arrrghhh: yeah, just have to fix the 'cannot open display' thing. i'll get it, thanks!
[00:52] <LjL> it doesn't USE windows xp's drivers. it ALWAYS uses its OWN drivers, stevea_
[00:52] <LjL> regardless of how you install it
[00:53] <stevea_> thank you jackpot thats what i was asking thank you very much
[00:54] <y2k> hey, i'll be reading a chapter from my bible and will go to sleep, so i'll see you guys all later
[00:54] <kaveh> anyone able to help me with this - im using alsa + ventrilo. havent got my mic working yet but thats not to worry - i can sit in channels and hear people but there are overtones that  didnt occur in windows and i havent found any comment of someting like this on the intarwebz+
[00:55] <tonsofpcs> anyone know of a way to set my computer to write out a hosts file when it resolves domains?
[00:56] <arrrghhh> anyone use mt-daap or firefly?
[00:56] <LjL> tonsofpcs: do you want to do that in order to speed up future domain resolution?
[00:56] <tonsofpcs> LjL: yes
[00:56] <tonsofpcs> LjL: but i also want to be able to take that hosts file to another machine
[00:56] <LjL> tonsofpcs: then - i don't know about what you asked specifically, but there are better ways to achieve that
[00:56] <LjL> !info dnsmasq | tonsofpcs, this is what i use
[00:57] <fantasyforever> I have a problem - I have a Comcast Router, and I can't connect to the internet, and it shows a webpage that Comcast Install Wizard is not compatible with my OS (Ubuntu)
[00:58] <LjL> !info pdnsd | tonsofpcs, look at this for the transfering-to-other-machine part
[00:58] <nado> fantasyforever, you might want to connect to your router by going to http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[00:58] <tonsofpcs> LjL: well, other machine is on a different network
[00:58] <LjL> tonsofpcs: i haven't used it, but from the APT description it looks like it could help you, since it claims its cache is saved permanently on HD
[00:58] <arrrghhh> fantasyforever, have you registered the modem with comcast?
[00:58] <nado> fantasyforever, in a web browser
[00:58] <LjL> tonsofpcs: yes but you could probably just grab its cache file
[00:58] <fantasyforever> yesi have registered the modem
[00:59] <tonsofpcs> i also want the cache to never expire
[00:59] <LjL> tonsofpcs: that should be configurable in pretty much any proxy
[00:59] <arrrghhh> fantasyforever, do you know what i mean by that?  like the router doesn't have internet until the modem is initially setup by comcast.  either by installing their stupid software or having them do it over the phone.
[00:59] <ndshacker> I have an issue Brasero recognises a DVD disk as empty and writable but says there is only 0 mb of space left, ive tied like 6 dvds
[00:59] <Cryptography> Question: 802.11N -- Is there any support for any 802.11N chip for putting it in Access Point Mode?
[00:59] <tonsofpcs> LjL: there has to be a way to have it write out the hosts file though, that's what the hosts file was made for
[01:00] <LjL> tonsofpcs: err, no, the hosts file was made for when DNS servers didn't exist at all, more like...
[01:00] <fantasyforever> yes, i am using it right now. It's been done over the phone
[01:00] <tonsofpcs> LjL: right
[01:00] <Cryptography> ndshacker: have you tried a different disk? Perhaps that one is just bad?
[01:00] <cordelia> how can I grep all comment lines and just have the lines with just text? All my comment lines begin with #
[01:00] <tonsofpcs> when you first went to a site in sprynet and similar browsers, it said it didn't know where and asked you where and wrote it to hosts
[01:00] <LjL> cordelia: grep -v "^#"
[01:00] <nado> fantasyforever, open firefox and go to http://<IP_ADDRESS> .. is there anything you can configure there ?
[01:01] <ndshacker> cryptopgraphy: yes ive tried 6, or different types
[01:01] <ndshacker> *of
[01:01] <cordelia> thx LjL
[01:01] <kevin_zhong> People of Earth, I come in piece! :D
[01:01] <fantasyforever> do i check on Ubuntu, nado?
[01:01] <arrrghhh> fantasyforever, well if the router has internet, then you shouldn't be getting that config page.
[01:01] <Cryptography> fantasyforever: open firefox and go to http://<IP_ADDRESS> does it return a page giving modem connection information?
[01:02] <arrrghhh> i love how everyone is guessing his gateway for him.
[01:02] <caspu> A pleasure to be here this night! good night to everyone
[01:02] <kevin_zhong> does anyone know where I can buy a laptop without an OS pre-installed?
[01:02] <Cryptography> i am not guessing the gateway, <IP_ADDRESS> is the default MOdeM address for comcast
[01:02] <nado> fantasyforever, i'll private message you
[01:02] <fantasyforever> ok.
[01:03] <arrrghhh> Cryptography, i have comcast, that's not my gateway.
[01:03] <ndshacker> Ive tried DVD-r DVD+R DVD-R/RW DVD+R/RW and none work, yet CD's work, so im convnced its not hardware
[01:03] <Cryptography> arrrghhh: did you try it?
[01:03] <kevin_zhong> anyone know where I can buy laptops without OS?
[01:03] <LjL> !ot | kevin_zhong
[01:03] <ndshacker> kevin: Dell
[01:04] <Cryptography> it wont be your router, and the modem is default configured as passthrough so you wont see it as your "default gateway" but it should be the modems personal address
[01:04] <arrrghhh> Cryptography, well my cable modem has a gateway that is NOT a class 2 ip.

[01:06] <glitsj16> ndshacker: that leaves brasero i suppose ... did you check for open bugs / fixes yet on launchpad.net ? brasero 0.9.1 runs smoothly here on 8.10
[01:06] <locovicen> hello
[01:06] <ndshacker> um.. no
[01:06] <ndshacker> its a clean install
[01:07] <magcius> How does Ubuntu's apt add folders to the emacs load path?
[01:07] <magcius> Something like ropemacs package.
[01:07] <glitsj16> ndshacker: you could try the brasero version for Ibex from getdeb.net i suppose to see if that solves the issue
[01:07] <ndshacker> im not on ibex
[01:07] <ndshacker> Im on Hardy Heron
[01:08] <ndshacker> Since Ibex couldnt connect to my Wireless >.<
[01:08] <glitsj16> ndshacker: ow my bad, getdeb.net might have it, i'll check
[01:08] <arrrghhh> anyone use mt-daap or firefly?
[01:08] <ndshacker> are there any alternatives? If I cant get brasero to work?

[01:09] <DasEi> !k3b | ndshacker
[01:09] <ndshacker> uhhh doesnt that run bad under Gnome?
[01:10] <ndshacker> Since it has to load the KDE libraries
[01:10] <arrrghhh> not so much an issue anymore.

[01:12] <shpook> Hello all. I have some aerial video captured from a Aiptek PenCam 1.3 SD. In the video properties, it lists the codec as "SP5X-like JPEG." The video plays great in Totem and VLC, but I can't open it in Cinelerra, Avidemux, or Kino. Is there a way to convert it to DV format or find the appropriate codec for one of these programs? I've done a fair share of searching, but haven't gotten anywhere.
[01:13] <tonsofpcs> shpook: convert it to MPEG2
[01:13] <raving> LjL, ahh, that did the trick. Thank you for your help.
[01:14] <kaveh> anyone able to help me with this - im using alsa + ventrilo. havent got my mic working yet but thats not to worry - i can sit in channels and hear people but there are overtones that  didnt occur in windows and i havent found any comment of someting like this on the intarwebz+
[01:14] <shpook> but isn't MPEG2 a compressed format?
[01:14] <shpook> I'd rather only compress the file once after editing...the quality isn't all that great as it is.
[01:15] <raving> shpook: yeah, although there are other formats that have lossless compression
[01:15] <arrrghhh> shpook, so is the video format you're using.  RAW video is rarely - if ever - used.  even BD's are "compressed"
[01:15] <shpook> I know, but if I convert it to another compressed format, won't that cause a loss in quality?
[01:16] <shpook> if not, I don't mind converting it to mpeg2 :D
[01:16] <Guest290342> shpook: Converting between lossy formats results in quality loss
[01:16] <arrrghhh> shpook, what he said
[01:17] <Roanoke> Hello all.
[01:17] <shpook> wouldn't be an issue if it was decent quality video to begin with. :D The problem is, Cinelerra, Avidemux, or Kino won't read the file
[01:17] <Guest290342> !hi | Roanoke
[01:17] <fbc-mx> How do you change the default Display Manager (gdm,kdm) I installed kubuntu-desktop to tryit out but all I get is a blank screen and a terminal when I log in.
[01:17] <thewrath> has nayone used gnupg?
[01:18] <arrrghhh> fbc-mx, when you're at the login screen pick "session" and select your preferred session.  it should ask if you want it to be the default.
[01:18] <fbc-mx> arrrghhh, it didn't what do I do?
[01:19] <shpook> so, I guess I should try converting it to mpeg2 to edit the video?
[01:19] <RedMushroom> hey everybody
[01:19] <raving> shpook: if you can get a lossless format or one that doesn't lose as much quality, that might be better
[01:19] <arrrghhh> fbc-mx, que?
[01:20] <RedMushroom> hey, uh, where's the off topic channel?
[01:20] <shpook> #ubuntu-offtopic

[01:21] <raving> shpook: in particular, you might want to check out ffv1
[01:21] <syockit> fbc-mx: maybe you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm or kdm
[01:22] <shpook> raving: Thanks, will do. I think it's time for a higher quality aerial photography camera :D
[01:22] <fbc-mx> syockit, kewl, I'll try that.
[01:23] <arrrghhh> syockit, uhm that probably won't fix his issue... maybe if you but ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop in there.
[01:23] <jenkem_pusher> i have a problem.. I need to get an ssh session on a friends machine (I can't have him port forward to his machine where he is). Is there a way I can listen on one of my remote servers and have him connect, and open a reverse shell?
[01:24] <syockit> arrrghhh: hmm, so I take it that the gdm/kdm selection appears on those two metapackages, is that correct?
[01:24] <arrrghhh> syockit, certainly.

[01:54] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: manufacturer gives you some tools you can download
[01:54] <LjL> !info smartmontools | no need for them though
[01:54] <NoobGuest> Mean Admin: manufacturer provide linux tools?
[01:55] <nick> LjL: nope. i thought he was talking about upgrading ubuntu(dist-update)
[01:55] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: well, pre-OS tools
[01:55] <Guest290342> NoobGuest: You check the hard disk for faults. It's like memtest for hd, I guess.
[01:55] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: tools that boot before operating system
[01:55] <NoobGuest> Guest290342: k sounds good
[01:55] <NoobGuest> Guest290342: like ChkDsk -f for Windows
[01:56] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: except it's pre-OS boot
[01:56] <NoobGuest> Mean_admin: thanks I will look into that. No Disk drive though or Windows OS environment to initiate in.
[01:56] <Guest290342> NoobGuest: Not really. That just compares the journal to data... it's different
[01:56] <NoobGuest> Guest290342: learned something there thanks.
[01:56] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: it's on a live cd
[01:56] <NoobGuest> Mean_Admin: Good to know also, ty.
[01:57] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: so you're not executing it from inside an operatin system (like windows or ubuntu), it's before they even load
[01:57] <NoobGuest> Guest290342, Mean_Admin: I will look into that your suggestions and I am grateful for your time.
[01:57] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: once you do that (I doubt that's the problem though), you can move to other possible vectors of problems
[01:58] <Guest290342> NoobGuest: Yups...
[01:58] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: no prob, you won't really do it but you might remember it one day, when thing really go weird :P
[01:58] <psyber> Anyone tried to install something in WINE and get an error message about unsupported operating system?
[01:58] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to install apache on ubuntu?
[01:58] <Guest290342> psyber: No? Did you apt-get install wine?
[01:58] <NoobGuest> Mean_Admin: haha. I think i will try it because I am trying to fix this. I don't like problems I cant fix especially with electronics.
[01:59] <Kingsy101> apt-get install apache?
[01:59] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: sudo apt-get insall LAMP
[01:59] <diabu> 100gb partition is enough for / partition? i have 150gb for /home partition
[01:59] <Kingsy101> ah right cooll
[01:59] <jamey-uk> psyber: did you try #wine?
[01:59] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: sudo apt-get insall apache is good too
[01:59] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - thanks
[01:59] <psyber> Guest290342:  yes I have wine installed through synaptic
[01:59] <usser> diabu, waste if you ask me, 20gb should be plenty
[01:59] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: LAMP is whole 9 yards, apache, Mysql and so on
[01:59] <NoobGuest> Do X.org driver installations/updates require reboot before taking effect?
[02:00] <Guest290342> psyber: And you can't run it? Have you messed with the kernel or something like that?
[02:00] <psyber> jamey-uk: no, not yet.  Seems like that room is always empty.  Heading there now just in incase.
[02:00] <twolane> NoobGuest: linux doesn't need rebooting but rarely, restart X
[02:00] <Mean_Admin> log out
[02:00] <Mean_Admin> log in
[02:00] <NoobGuest> Twolane: ah
[02:00] <diabu> usser, ok ok :) thank you, probably i'll do a fresh install and try to set 50gb (just in case..) for /
[02:00] <phaer> diabu, you will never ever use 100gb for / unless you store your videos in /videos or something similar.
[02:01] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - I get this error - E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:01] <psyber> Guest290342: nope.  The installer starts, then I get an error from the installer that it failed b/c of an unsuported OS.  I am trying to install sketchup 7
[02:01] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - any ideas?
[02:01] <NoobGuest> Mean_Admin: logout will take me terminal only?
[02:01] <usser> diabu, 50gb will take you well into 22nd century
[02:01] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: it means you have opened another tool like apt-get
[02:01] <usser> diabu, :)
[02:01] <NoobGuest> Mean_
[02:01] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: like synaptic
[02:01] <Guest290342> Kingsy101: Or run as root. Either or.
[02:01] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: or you're having updates being done
[02:01] <Guest290342> psyber: Oh, an application in wine?
[02:01] <mib_syqmsd> What's a good grammar checker for Open Office?
[02:02] <phaer> is it "safe" to just kill gnome-session? would there be any leftover files or pipes or ...?
[02:02] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - I don't have any updates installing or any other installer
[02:02] <psyber> Guest290342: yes, an application in wine
[02:02] <Guest290342> psyber: Try #wine-hq
[02:02] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: like the little read arrow pointing downwards asking if you wanna upgrade, that's using same ressource as apt-get
[02:02] <Guest290342> phaer: No, use /etc/init./gdm stop
[02:02] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: and no synpectic either ?
[02:02] <Kingsy101> oh its just working again now
[02:02] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: hum ... cool? I guess :)
[02:03] <Kingsy101> but it says could not find package lamp
[02:03] <phaer> Guest290342: the problem is, gdm is not running ;) its a quite special situation with gnome-session in a chroot connecting to xephyr on the host.
[02:03] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: do you only need apache?
[02:03] <lantay77> Do any of you know what will happen if you type this in bash/shell? ':(){ :|:& };:'
[02:03] <Guest290342> phaer: well, I dunno then. go for it and let us know how it goes!
[02:03] <mib_syqmsd> Open Office is UGLY
[02:03] <vorian> lantay77: do not paste that please
[02:03] <Guest290342> !troll > mib_syqmsd
[02:03] <Kingsy101> yea I suppose, just a localhost with php compatibility
[02:03] <vorian> lantay77: google "forkbomb"
[02:03] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: you can type in      sudo apt-get install apa           and after those 3 letters, double-tap Tab on your keyboard, it will show you matches starting with apa
[02:03] <lantay77> why dont paste that?
[02:03] <dan___> is there any possible ways uninstall Linux from a dual boot system
[02:04] <psyber> Guest290342: :-( no one home.  Oh well
[02:04] <phaer> Guest290342: but, maybe i should try to get gdm running.
[02:04] <Guest290342> !paste | lantay77
[02:04] <lantay77> oh
[02:04] <Mean_Admin> mib_syqmsd: weren't you complaing in ##linux ?
[02:04] <Guest290342> psyber: Oh. There's another one on #wine on a different server (forget which one)
[02:04] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - hmm sudo apt-get install apache doesnt work either
[02:05] <psyber> Guest290342: ah ha it is winehq without the -
[02:05] <acfrazier> Can anyone help me? My sound stopped working after upgrading to the Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty beta
[02:05] <Guest290342> psyber: Ahh, sorry. ;)
[02:05] <schnootop> anyone know how to set up a virtual ip across a network
[02:05] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - E: Package apache has no installation candidate
[02:05] <schnootop> what i pretty much have is a lamp setup
[02:05] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: do the touble-Tab thing
[02:05] <acfrazier> I tried to remove OSS to go back to ALSA, but it didn't work and I've hit a brick wall
[02:05] <schnootop>  i want people who go to a certain URL go to a certain virtualname on my computers webhost
[02:06] <acfrazier> !sound
[02:06] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: like type       sudo apt-get install apa       and right there, after that 2nd a quickly double-tap your TAB
[02:06] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: ow
[02:06] <Kingsy101> ah right I see, its apache 3 I need
[02:06] <Kingsy101> apache2*
[02:06] <lolitas> md
[02:07] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: and don't forget to       sudo apt-get update
[02:07] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - ok thats installed
[02:07] <mib_syqmsd> OpenOffice is UGLY
[02:08] <Kingsy101> .Mean_Admin - so now if I go to localhost apache will be running?
[02:08] <Guest290342> !troll
[02:08] <Mean_Admin> mib_syqmsd: weren't you complaining in ##linux about such and this ?
[02:08] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: yeah! it should
[02:08] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: should say It Works Duuuuuuuuuuuude
[02:08] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - NICE it doesn
[02:08] <Kingsy101> does* :)
[02:09] <Guest71806> Has anyone ever had a problem installing xubuntu where it freezes a second or two after loading the GUI? even in safe graphics mode?
[02:09] <Mean_Admin> no sorry
[02:10] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: good stuff :)  when using apt-get, double Tab is your friend
[02:10] <Mean_Admin> when double tab sounds so much like double tap :D
[02:10] <Mean_Admin> headshotx2
[02:11] <Guest71806> is there a way to install ubuntu without a GUI?
[02:11] <Mean_Admin> Guest71806: server edition
[02:11] <Guest290342> Guest71806: Alternate install cd or minimal install cd
[02:12] <Guest290342> Guest71806: You choose command-line install for alternate. Minimal is always command-line unless you select extra.
[02:12] <Mean_Admin> or just server edition ?
[02:12] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: Server has different repository & kernel.
[02:12] <Guest71806> ok. i was thinking i could isntall via command line and then update from there, bypass my awful graphics card
[02:12] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: why using server-edition for a desktop-system?
[02:13] <phaer> is it possible to just display processes in a chroot?
[02:13] <Guest290342> Guest71806: Yeah, you can do that.
[02:13] <Guest290342> phaer: ps aux?
[02:13] <Guest290342> phaer: lsof?
[02:14] <phaer> Guest290342: ps aux shows me the processes of the host too, and what would lsof help in this case?
[02:14] <Mean_Admin> iceroot: if you're not wanting any gui..
[02:14] <Guest290342> phaer: Dunno. lsof / for the chroot environment? I suppose you need lsof & that's a pretty convulted "solution" but I'm trying to be creative. :)
[02:14] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: then you use alternate-cd but not the server-edition for a desktop-system
[02:15] <Guest290342> iceroot: Or minimal (netinstall) disk
[02:15] <phaer> Guest290342: thanks, but i am not really satisfied with that.
[02:15] <Guest290342> phaer: Fair enough. Can you run top from the chroot environment?
[02:15] <Guest290342> phaer: Or same story?
[02:15] <Mean_Admin> iceroot: so then what's up with server edition ? why was it made ?
[02:15] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: For servers..?
[02:15] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: for servers
[02:15] <phaer> Guest290342: in either case, it has gotten late in my timezone, so i will take care about it tomorrow or in a few days
[02:16] <phaer> Guest290342: same story as ps aux
[02:16] <Guest290342> phaer: Have fun. ;)
[02:16] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: different kernel, different repos, LTS
[02:16] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342:, iceroot  was under the impression server edition was ubuntu - X
[02:16] <boshhead> It seems like my volume on my headphones is not as loud as it used to be. I don't have a physical control for it on my computer. The Volume Control Panel says that Master and PCM are at max volume.... Not sure what it could be, maybe I'm just nuts :) But I used to keep "master" at about half volume and that was fine, now it seems like I need it at full volume for a lot of stuff.
[02:16] <miniproject> Hello
[02:17] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: no its a different system
[02:17] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: Carry on! :)
[02:17] <miniproject> hello
[02:17] <boscop> miniproject, Hi
[02:17] <Mean_Admin> iceroot: well, then.. I'm shocked and shamed
[02:17] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: no problem
[02:18] <miniproject> Hello
[02:18] <Mean_Admin> hello miniproject
[02:18] <Guest290342> !hi | miniproject
[02:18] <miniproject> is my first time
[02:18] <miniproject> here
[02:18] <Mean_Admin> !mighty greetings | miniproject
[02:18] <miniproject> anyone?
[02:18] <miniproject> anyone
[02:18] <miniproject> ?
[02:18] <Guest290342> !question | miniproject
[02:18] <Mean_Admin> HI miniproject ?
[02:19] <miniproject> ok excume is that this is my first time using this
[02:19] <boscop> miniproject, do you have a question or just want to say hello?
[02:19] <miniproject> i cant write
[02:19] <boscop> why?
[02:19] <miniproject> in a directory
[02:20] <boscop> use chmod
[02:20] <miniproject> a can't white on a dierctory here
[02:20] <RedMushroom> can anyone help me with some install issues?
[02:20] <miniproject> i used it
[02:20] <Guest290342> miniproject: chmod u+w
[02:20] <miniproject> i was using chmod -rw
[02:21] <Guest290342> miniproject: Although you may not own it, in which case chown <username>:<group>
[02:21] <miniproject> ok letme try
[02:21] <miniproject> thanks
[02:21] <RedMushroom> :(
[02:21] <Mean_Admin> !ask | RedMushroom
[02:21] <miniproject> i do it and then i get the next message chmod u+w
[02:21] <miniproject> operation not permitted
[02:22] <Guest290342> miniproject: Where is the directory?
[02:22] <boscop> miniproject, or "chmod -R u+w dir" to permit the whole tree
[02:22] <Mean_Admin> miniproject: you must put               sudo       before command
[02:22] <miniproject> ok
[02:22] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: If he doesn't own the folder, that's irrelevant
[02:22] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342: if he's a sudoer
[02:22] <Mean_Admin> ?
[02:23] <ericwright17> hello, new to ubuntu, but i'm running it in VMWare, and I'm trying to use the CompizConfig Settings Manager and I cannot set up multiple desktops any ideas why?
[02:23] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: He's trying to write to the folder as an unprivileged user.. chmod u+w doesn't do much. :P
[02:23] <miniproject> ok thanks
[02:23] <Guest290342> !compiz | ericwright17
[02:23] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342: hum right :)
[02:23] <RedMushroom> ok, well, i'm trying to install onto a really old box, and i can't get it to boot of the cd-rom. it bios menus say it allows it, but it's just not doing it. when i go into win98 on the box and double click on the cd rom icon it says device not ready, like there's nothing in there. i don't know what's going on w/ it. when i disable the h/d from booting, and leave it with only the cd-rom it says "operating system not found"
[02:23] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342: I was only seeing the lack of sudo before his command :P
[02:24] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: check the CD for defects
[02:24] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: Course if its outside his home, he shouldn't give himself ownership. soo.. depends
[02:24] <RedMushroom> it's good. works on my other computer. but the other one is newer
[02:25] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: then your cd drive is busted
[02:25] <atomic> I'm having trouble installing adobe air. It just won't install. I chmod 755 like some tutorials suggest but when I sudo ./Adobe... it returns but nothing happens.
[02:25] <RedMushroom> oh. you know this for a fact?
[02:25] <boscop> in my timezone it's 3:24 am. so gn8, now
[02:25] <Guest290342> atomic: chmod a+x
[02:25] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: maybe reburn it at slower speed ?
[02:25] <frog_>  find . -not -iname ".svn" -path '*/Factsheet/*' -type f -exec perl -i.bak -pe "s/www.quartalflife.com/www.investisflife.com/" {} \; <- shouldn't this ommit .svn?
[02:25] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: already tried that
[02:25] <atomic> Guest290342: I'll try it
[02:26] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: anything else booting ? cd-rom unbroken ?
[02:26] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: it it works in the new PC and not in the old then yes i guess i do, did you try to boot it in your new pc and check the CD ?
[02:26] <Guest290342> atomic: if that fails, try bash Adobe...
[02:26] <RedMushroom> yeah, cd booted newer pc no problem
[02:26] <anima> ok I need some webcam help
[02:26] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: did you run the cd check on the cd ?
[02:27] <RedMushroom> i have no clue how to
[02:27] <anima> i like ubuntu but it ain't plug n play.  LOL
[02:27] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: ok but on old pc, other cds boot  ? it's not some pata conflict or someting ?
[02:27] <bradcovey> hey guys
[02:27] <bradcovey> mind if i ask a question?
[02:27] <Mean_Admin> wow, that's a big and intimidating lol
[02:27] <RedMushroom> nope, cd works fine in the other pc, doesn't work at all in the older one
[02:27] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: Boot from the CD there is a "cd check" option, give it a run
[02:27] <Guest290342> RedMushroom: How much ram?
[02:27] <Mean_Admin> bradcovey: ask away
[02:27] <atomic> Guest290342:  cannot execute binary file
[02:27] <atomic> When I try that with bash
[02:28] <atomic> and sudo bash
[02:28] <LostCause07> Are the wine repo's down?
[02:28] <Guest290342> atomic: Sure your file is 100% correct?
[02:28] <RedMushroom> Guest290342: not a lot. i think about half a gig. just barely meets the system requirements
[02:28] <Guest290342> atomic: Try downloading again
[02:28] <bradcovey> thanks, I have a 3d related question. I have an intel graphics accelerator and i am getting crashes or improper menus from games such as wolfenstein and savage 2
[02:28] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: ok by cd rom, I mean optical drive, the thing in which you put your ubuntu disk,
[02:28] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: yeah
[02:28] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: go on
[02:28] <ericwright17> thanks, ubottu, but i think i didn't ask my question clearly enough, does CompizFusion work under VMWare, specifically the Expo plugin??? (I know that certain screensavers don't work.)
[02:28] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: it's okay you say ?
[02:29] <Guest290342> !bot
[02:29] <atomic> Guest290342: Okay, I was going to try that but I'm on a slow internet service so 13mb is like reading war and peace.. :)
[02:29] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: I've had some brake on me and I've chased the culprit a lot of time before realizing that was the culprit
[02:29] <Guest290342> atomic: AWw, sorry. :\
[02:29] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: don't know. need to find another disk to test with it. when in win98 if i do "eject cd" it'll open the tray, so assuming it's good
[02:29] <bradcovey> i believe it is something to do with the opengl version
[02:29] <bradcovey> im not entirely sure tho
[02:29] <LostCause07> I don't think CompizFusion works very well under VMware.
[02:29] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: ok just saying, my cd-rw randomly stopped reading any CDs at some point..
[02:30] <ericwright17> okay, are there any alternatives to CompizFusion?
[02:30] <RedMushroom> no, not that i know of.
[02:30] <Guest290342> ericwright17: Metisse!
[02:30] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: do you get any CD's to work in the old pc ?
[02:30] <bradcovey> btw here is the related glxinfo: OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
[02:30] <bradcovey> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 865G 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2
[02:30] <bradcovey> OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.2
[02:30] <Guest290342> !paste | bradcovey
[02:30] <RedMushroom> Dreamglider: not yet, need to find one to test, but i have no reason to believe the drive is bad yet
[02:30] <RedMushroom> basically, it's untested either way
[02:30] <bradcovey> oh, i appologize
[02:30] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: try ANY cd
[02:30] <Guest290342> RedMushroom: As ali said, try putting it in another computer & installing
[02:30] <RedMushroom> Dreamglider: yeah
[02:31] <RedMushroom> if any other cd works, then the drive's good. if not, bad drive
[02:31] <RedMushroom> if drive's good then i'm still at square one
[02:31] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: yup
[02:31] <shpook> Okay, so in my mission to try and convert this AVI file, that won't open in any video editor, I haven't been able to find a converter that will convert it. The codec is listed as "sp5x-like jpeg," which is listed in "gst-inspect-0.10 ffmpeg." Now, this file plays fine in VLC and Totem, but not in MPlayer. VLC can't find the encoder to convert it, and neither can ffmpeg. Any ideas? I just want to convert it to a format that I can edit, w
[02:32] <anima> if anyone can help me with my cam, and installing the drivers (which I have) please msg me
[02:32] <RedMushroom> *sigh* well, i actually hope it's bad. if so, i have another i can swap it with. if not, i dunno
[02:32] <aqlx86> help please... i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 but application menus are missing
[02:32] <bradcovey> mean_admin: here is the information from glxinfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/141104/
[02:32] <Guest290342> aqlx86: run alacarte & configure
[02:33] <Mean_Admin> bradcovey: not sure I can help you but! can you state your phrase in one big sentence :) ?
[02:33] <Dreamglider> aqlx86: left klick > Add to panel
[02:33] <_Rha7_> Hi every1, I want to patch and recompile Ubuntu kernel driver drivers/media/video/saa7134, if I run the make command, it compiles with no errors, but on;y generates *.o files, no *.ko, can I just rename saa7134.o to saa7134.ko and place it at its place at /lib/modules ?
[02:34] <Guest290342> Dreamglider: klick is for kde. gnome uses click. ;)
[02:34] <aqlx86> Dreamglider, not the ubuntu menu
[02:34] <Guest290342> aqlx86: Custom menu
[02:34] <Guest290342> !kernel | _Rha7_
[02:34] <aqlx86> menus in applications like pidgin
[02:34] <Dreamglider> Guest290342:  heh sry dude
[02:34] <aqlx86> menus of application are missing
[02:35] <Guest290342> _Rha7_: Driver, sorry. Yes, place in /lib/modules but you may need to set them to load on your own
[02:35] <aqlx86> menus in nautilus are missing also
[02:35] <bradcovey> mean_Admin: absolutely, savage 2(opengl based) and enemy territory(also opengl based) do not function properly and there seems to be some issues with black screens or the games not running at all. I believe it is opengl related but im not entirely sure
[02:35] <Guest290342> aqlx86: alt+f2 & run alacarte
[02:35] <_Rha7_> Guest290342, Thanks a lot ;)
[02:36] <Guest290342> bradcovey: glxinfo | grep Direct
[02:36] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Paste output
[02:36] <aqlx86> Guest290342, not that
[02:36] <Guest290342> aqlx86: Oh, like the drop-down menus @ the top?
[02:37] <bradcovey> guest290342: glxinfo:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141104/
[02:37] <Guest290342> aqlx86: Try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:37] <bradcovey> guest290342: grep direct doesn't seem to do anything much
[02:37] <_Rha7_> Guest290342, just one more question, If a kernel upgrade comes, I have to repatch+recompile+rename+put_in_/lib/modules in the new kernel??
[02:38] <Guest290342> _Rha7_: I believe so. You compile for a certain set of kernel & headers.
[02:38] <_Rha7_> Thanks again :)
[02:38] <Mean_Admin> bradcovey: so you typed in      glxinfo | grep Direct        in command line and no output ?
[02:38] <Kingsy101> ok I have just written a simple php script and I want to try and run it through my localhost.. how is this done? I have tried putting it in the www folder and entering the URL http://localhost/new.php but it asks if I want to open or save the file, it doesnt run it through the browser any ideas?
[02:38] <bradcovey> sec i will retry, maybe a typo
[02:38] <Guest290342> bradcovey: You're using the mesa driver
[02:39] <bradcovey> that is correct
[02:39] <Guest290342> bradcovey: No 3d render w/ it
[02:39] <Guest290342> !mesa
[02:39] <bradcovey> that would explain several things :P
[02:39] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Yeah. :\ Sorry.
[02:39] <sexcopter> hi there. I discovered some .chk files (which I *think* may have originated from XP doing an ntfs error check) on an ntfs volume. Does anyone know what can be done with them? Some kind of analyzer or recovery tool?
[02:39] <bradcovey> Guest290342: is there an alternative driver?
[02:39] <RedMushroom> well crud. i just tested my cd-rom drive w/ a music cd and it works.
[02:39] <RedMushroom> never been so bummed to learn something's not broken
[02:39] <Guest290342> bradcovey: What's your card?
[02:40] <RedMushroom> |>_<
[02:40] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: damn indeed
[02:40] <bradcovey> Guest290342:its an integrated intel, im not exactly sure of the model under windows it used an intel extreme 2 driver
[02:40] <Guest290342> bradcovey: lspci | grep Graphic
[02:40] <RedMushroom> now i got to figure out why the stupid thing wont boot
[02:40] <RedMushroom> it has to be something with the bios i'm guessing
[02:41] <cristian> alguien me ayuda a configurar mi sonido?
[02:41] <bradcovey> Guest290342: command not found?
[02:41] <Kingsy101> can someone help me?
[02:41] <Guest290342> lspci not found? what?
[02:41] <Dreamglider> !ask
[02:41] <bradcovey> nvm
[02:41] <Guest290342> bradcovey: That's coreutils. How could it not be found? :S
[02:41] <bradcovey> lol typo
[02:41] <RedMushroom> anyone know of a bootstrap program that'll fit on a floppy and allow me to boot from the cd-rom?
[02:42] <RedMushroom> like, just something that directs it to the cd-rom when it tries to boot from a floppy
[02:42] <Nasra> any1 know to set logitech webcam to work with Ubuntu?
[02:42] <bradcovey> guest290342: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141108/
[02:43] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Desktop pc?
[02:43] <bradcovey> Guest290342: yes
[02:43] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: you could be brave and boot off USB key although.. I  don't know.. can the old box handle usb boot ?
[02:44] <Guest290342> It's probably a restricted driver. Have you tried using the restricted drivers module in system->admin?
[02:44] <RedMushroom> tied it, doesnt work
[02:44] <bradcovey> Guest290342: yes, nothing available
[02:44] <opera> who can tell me how to use ekiga
[02:44] <Guest290342> bradcovey: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=1044&DwnldID=13815&lang=eng
[02:45] <trimalap> Hola!
[02:45] <Guest290342> !hi | trimalap
[02:45] <bradcovey> Guest290342: restricted drivers is under administration correct?
[02:46] <bradcovey> can't seem to find it today : /
[02:46] <Guest290342> bradcovey: I believe so.
[02:46] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: this is scary... can't you just use the cdrom off the good computer, just for the install ?!
[02:47] <bradcovey> Guest290342: I honestly cannot find the restricted drivers
[02:48] <bradcovey> Guest290342: i remember it being there in previous versions, was it taken out in 8.10?
[02:48] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Highly doubt it
[02:48] <Guest290342> I don't know what the package is called, but make sure its installed
[02:49] <bradcovey> Guest290342: k found it, they changed the name :P
[02:49] <bradcovey> Guest290342: thank you for the help btw, i can probably take it from here
[02:49] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Go for it.
[02:52] <nick> whats up people

[02:53] <ryanbeer> not much man. I have a situation on my hands.  I installed Ubuntu about 3 weeks ago.  I am running Gnome and it is running Compiz.  I started kde from terminal, restarted and now when the login screen comes up my keyboard, mouse, and all usb devices lock up.
[02:53] <Voltaire> ryanbeer: Oi, you started two wms at the same time?
[02:54] <ryanbeer> Yes, I did start two window systems at the same time.
[02:54] <Voltaire> ryanbeer: They'll fight over crucial files like xauthority & so on. No wonder it locked up. :\
[02:54] <Voltaire> ryanbeer: Always kill off one wm before running the other.

[03:01] <aubreyja> Hi All - I have ubuntu 8.10 on a Toshiba R15-S829 (Tablet). I installed fxfnd to get the Fn key-combos to work. However, it doesn't seem to work - e.g. Fn-F5 doesn't switch display modes (as it should).  Is fxfnd the right program to use? And, I thought tosiba acpi support comes by default in the kernel, but maybe not? How can I check this?
[03:01] <tyoc> is there a way that gnome-terminal display the last commands typed in a menu list??
[03:01] <trimalap> BilokShem: what is the problem with your computer machine, please provide more details
[03:01] <tyoc> I remember that behaviour

[03:03] <Edgar> I have a little problem with the add/remove application tool
[03:03] <trimalap> BilokShem: make sure you have not muted the Microphone

[03:04] <Ropechoborra> BilokShem, I did the same and i ended reinstalling 8.04 :p
[03:04] <BilokShem> This no good.
[03:05] <RedMushroom> does anyone know how i can use XP to image the /install/sbm.bin file to a floppy disk so i can use it as a boot disk for an installer?
[03:05] <trimalap> BilokShem: try the steps here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488431
[03:05] <RedMushroom> to do something called a rawwrite?
[03:06] <bradcovey> ok, I whent back through and attempted to update my intel 82865G integrated video card driver and it turns out that mesa is 3d? and other than mesa there don't appear to be any drivers available
[03:06] <syockit> RedMushroom: umm, I remember it wasn't called syslinux. I can't seem to remember the boot disk maker....
[03:07] <Edgar> my problem is that when I run the gnome-app-install, it doesn't show me anyprogram
[03:07] <ndshacker> Hello all, I am trying to learn C++, I have two tutorials and all the neccesary itesm installed on my Ubuntu 8.04 box, but when I G++ my *.cpp file i get a.out, which I have no clue what that is
[03:07] <BilokShem> I using Eee PC
[03:07] <BilokShem> with ubuntu
[03:07] <mbana> hi, how do i hide the day of ht week in the panel?  i'd prefer just the date
[03:07] <RedMushroom> syockit: i'm a noob here, show me some kindness
[03:08] <ndshacker> any help as to how to make a real executable would be appreciated
[03:08] <syockit> RedMushroom: actually I'd like to help, but I've kinda lost the knowledge of those boot thingies
[03:09] <popcornPanic> is there a reason why the ubuntu repository does not have the lastest version of java?
[03:09] <BilokShem> bye
[03:10] <trimalap> BilokShem: it doesn't matter. If it worked once it should work again. I am sure something got messed during the upgrade
[03:10] <Mean_Admin> ooow ArsTechnica says no-go on ext4 yet
[03:10] <RedMushroom> i just wish i could d/l a file, put it on a disk, and have at it
[03:10] <syockit> RedMushroom: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50344 for starters.... hope it has a clue
[03:10] <RedMushroom> basically, i need a program for xp, that i can d/l, which will create a  linux boot floppy, and i don't know what to do!!!
[03:11] <Knocks> hi
[03:11] <Knocks> how do i resize a partition from ubuntu
[03:11] <orl> hmm can Unetbootin do what you need?
[03:11] <ndshacker> !a.out
[03:11] <flashjunk> generally i use gparted
[03:11] <Knocks> flashjunk how do i launch it?
[03:11] <ndshacker> Knocks: sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:11] <pyjama> knocks - you could but from a Live CD and use the partition editor whilst the drive is unmounted
[03:11] <ndshacker> then itll be in your menu
[03:11] <flashjunk> make sure it is installed, then run it from sudo
[03:12] <Knocks> so which is better
[03:12] <pyjama> i use the cd
[03:12] <Knocks> it's an NTFS partition
[03:12] <Knocks> will it be safe?
[03:12] <flashjunk> for an NTFS you can do it from your install
[03:12] <flashjunk> otherwise use the CD
[03:12] <syockit> RedMushroom: since you mentioned rawwrite, probably you already know what sbm is? ah, you said sbm.bin
[03:12] <pyjama> knocks - i use the CD as I don't want a problem unmounting and remounting, plus it's my system disk
[03:12] <Guest24539> Knocks: Yes, as long as your immediately re-mount in Windows
[03:12] <ndshacker> gparted live cd
[03:12] <arodd> Wondering if anyone has actually got amarok2 to play music in 9.04b
[03:12] <Knocks> it's not a system disk
[03:12] <flashjunk> when you remount in windows it will run some checks, but it will be ok
[03:12] <Knocks> it's an external USB hard drive
[03:13] <flashjunk> just freaks windows out at first
[03:13] <pyjama> knocks, then gpart sounds better
[03:13] <Knocks> i just need to steal 10GB from it for a wii partition
[03:13] <ndshacker> Hello all, I am trying to learn C++, I have two tutorials and all the neccesary itesm installed on my Ubuntu 8.04 box, but when I G++ my *.cpp file i get a.out, which I have no clue what that is
[03:13] <Guest24539> !ubuntu | ndshacker
[03:13] <syockit> RedMushroom: http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite is probably the tool you need
[03:13] <Guest24539> ndshacker: Uhh.. wrong channel?
[03:13] <ndshacker> that helps how?
[03:13] <flashjunk> you get a.out if you don't tell it a particular filename to output to
[03:13] <ndshacker> uhhh no?
[03:14] <ndshacker> flashjunk: but what do I output it as?
[03:14] <tritium> !offtopic | ndshacker
[03:14] <Guest24539> ndshacker: This is specifically for ubuntu help -- try a channel centered around c++?
[03:14] <Knocks> ok, it's installing gparted now
[03:14] <pyjama> knocks, you may need to unmount the drive from Windows first
[03:15] <Guest24539> Knocks: Or -o force
[03:15] <pyjama> knocks, it gives you an option to force a mount but I wasn't confident enough
[03:15] <Knocks> it won't let me resize
[03:15] <Knocks> should i unmount first?
[03:16] <Guest24539> Knocks: Yes!!!
[03:16] <Guest24539> Knocks: Never change partitions while they're mounted
[03:16] <Guest24539> Knocks: Never modify** partitions while they're mounted
[03:16] <Knocks> still can't do it
[03:17] <pyjama> knocks, you'll need to unmount it from windows, or force a mount
[03:17] <Knocks> it's grayed out
[03:17] <syockit> RedMushroom: it seems the page I gave you just now didn't offer any downloads. look for rawrite2 instead
[03:17] <Guest24539> Knocks: Refresh gparted
[03:17] <Knocks> i did
[03:17] <pyjama> knocks, you need to disconnect the drive from windows using the remove icon in the bottom right
[03:17] <pyjama> then try the usb
[03:17] <Knocks> ok pyjama i will try that
[03:17] <pyjama> or you could force a mount
[03:17] <Knocks> need to reboot then
[03:17] <Knocks> brb
[03:18] <aqlx86> hi, my nautilus menu is missing and so as the other applications.. any idea how can i restore the menu..
[03:19] <popcornPanic> does anyone know of an extra repository for java?
[03:19] <Guest24539> popcornPanic: Why do you need it?
[03:19] <keith> Does anyone know where I can find the Ext4 specification?
[03:20] <popcornPanic> Guest24539, i develop in java and my Arch linux install is later then my ubuntu one
[03:20] <Guest24539> popcornPanic: The latest available is in the repositories. Else you'll have to compile your own. :\
[03:20] <aqlx86> hi, my nautilus menu is missing and so as the other applications.. any idea how can i restore the menu..?
[03:20] <Kirill_> What does "not a multiple of 4k" error mean
[03:20] <Kirill_> After executing command mkfs.hfsplus in gparted
[03:21] <TuxAttack> welcome room
[03:21] <Taijiquan> every time my screensaver starts my key layout reverts back to qwerty
[03:21] <Guest24539> Kirill_: Your block size is messed up?
[03:22] <popcornPanic> Guest24539, yes i was just wondering. i would rather just be able to do apt-get to install and update for later
[03:22] <Guest24539> popcornPanic: Yeah, I understand.
[03:22] <bonez46> popcornPanic: why not do it all at once, and be done?
[03:22] <Kirill_> That's what I thought so I tried 4000*238 = 952000 for block size
[03:23] <Kirill_> Still nothing Guest24539
[03:23] <Knocks> ok
[03:23] <Knocks> i can't unmount it from windows either
[03:23] <Knocks> it says device is in use
[03:23] <Kirill_> Woah Google just looked at my query and said it looks like something that a virus on many computers is writing right now and they needed me to do one of those graphical letter identification logins
[03:23] <Guest24539> Kirill_: Strange. Idk.
[03:24] <Guest24539> Kirill_: Haha, fun..
[03:24] <usser> good stuff

[03:28] <gonewestcoast> coppro: This one works, depending on what's going on.
[03:28] <gonewestcoast> coppro: What's the problem?
[03:28] <trimalap> coppro: I was going to ask the same
[03:28] <coppro> Actually, it doesn't seem so bad right now

[03:29] <coppro> I'm using some manner of Mobility Radeon - hang on I'll get the exact one
[03:29] <coppro> using the OSS driver
[03:29] <gonewestcoast> coppro: dmesg to a pastebin

[03:29] <selocol> how come whenever firefox asks to restart, it never restarts. it just closes and never restarts..?

[03:31] <coppro> lspci -vv: http://pastebin.com/m31df402
[03:33] <coppro> It also occasionally just freezes on its own, but that seems to be some bug in X causing an OOM or something, based on the symptoms

[03:43] <fearful> ultratek, your welcome
[03:43] <staykov> nevermind had to run the installer for 8.10
[03:44] <staykov> thanks kitche
[03:47] <matt___> I am just wondering if perhaps a recent update has caused some sort of hard disk failure. Because my data drive stopped working, after a reboot, the drive isn't even detected. Not in /dev/, and gparted doesn't see it.
[03:47] <rcy> My desktop is too big for the display. U 8.10 with NVIDIA 8400 using the most recent proprietary driver.
[03:48] <coppro> matt_: Try booting to an older kernel. If that doesn't work, it's possibly you suffered a physical disk failure
[03:48] <PhotoJim> matt___: an update wouldn't cause a failure.  it is possible the drive happened to fail then.  but it would be coincidental.  either that, or something else is your problem.
[03:48] <matt___> coppro: PhotoJim my fear exactly, hard disk failure.
[03:49] <DasEi> !jaunty | arodd
[03:49] <PhotoJim> matt___: worth checking your cabling.  cables do sometimes wiggle loose.
[03:49] <DasEi> arodd: my amarok did well
[03:49] <matt___> PhotoJim: will try.
[03:49] <PhotoJim> matt___: good luck.
[03:49] <matt___> PhotoJim: why thank you.
[03:51] <Jenna48> I am new to ubuntu .. I copied my favs from IE to a CD .. now I need to know how to import to firefox .. can anyone please help me?
[03:51] <aladin403> wow ubuntu  9.04
[03:51] <PhotoJim> Jenna48: I don't know that way, but I know an indirect way that has some advantages.
[03:51] <itai_michaelson> hi, i want to install a everore office for linux, the programme comes as a tar.gz inside theres a setup.sh file, how can this programme be uninstalled if needed?
[03:51] <trevor> hey all
[03:51] <Jenna48> any help would be appreciated
[03:52] <aladin403> ubuntu  9.04 is the perfection
[03:52] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, what you copied is an html file?
[03:52] <Jenna48> URL
[03:52] <aladin403> it is a  version beta is very good
[03:52] <PhotoJim> Jenna48: install Firefox on your Windows machine.  It'll offer to import your IE bookmarks.  Let it.  Then install the plugin Foxmarks.  It'll let you upload your bookmarks to a central server and you can use them on any Firefox installation on any machine or OS that you use that you also add Foxmarks to.
[03:52] <asdf_lafleche> hi
[03:52] <PhotoJim> Jenna48: it's a great thing if you use more than one OS, or more than one machine.  Your bookmarks will always be synchronized on all of them.
[03:53] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, what PhotoJim said...
[03:53] <Jenna48> unfortunately I no longer have my windows partition
[03:53] <DasEi> Jenna48 : ff> bookmarks> managae bm's > import
[03:53] <jonathanrwallace> i just had a power spike and no can no longer ssh into my ubuntu box remotely
[03:53] <Jenna48> The import function won't recognize the file
[03:53] <jonathanrwallace> however locally sshing works fine
[03:53] <coppro> Ah, this is why I hate this channel
[03:53] <jonathanrwallace> any suggestions?
[03:53] <wanna_learn_more> ow?

[03:54] <wanna_learn_more> do u kow how to remove ubuntu-desktop package?
[03:54] <coppro> You could at least say "no clue"
[03:54] <jonathanrwallace> coppro: what's the question?
[03:54] <kitche> coppro: for many applications to use your sound they must not be OSS apps
[03:54] <wanna_learn_more> well when i tried to installed it..it takes 2 giga off my hardisk
[03:55] <_Brun0_> hi. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 with xampp installed yesterday in /opt/lampp/. I cannot get mysql to start. Any hints?
[03:55] <kitche> coppro: pulseaudio and alsa support dual channel very well
[03:55] <coppro> [20:28:05]	<coppro>	My computer frequently freezes when using intensive OpenGL applications
[03:55] <wanna_learn_more> but when i tried to apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop only xxxmb freed

[03:55] <coppro> [20:30:19]	<coppro>	lspci -vv: http://pastebin.com/m31df402
[03:55] <kitche> coppro: sounds like the freezing is due to your video card
[03:55] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, are u trying to import IE bookmarks or firefox?
[03:55] <coppro> And fglrx offers no OpenGL period.
[03:56] <nado> wanna_learn_more, did you to an apt-get autoremove ?
[03:56] <nado> do*
[03:56] <PhotoJim> coppro: that's not something I can help you with.  But do post it occasionally if you don't get an answer.
[03:56] <asdf_lafleche> hey, does anyone have some info on using dual monitors in ubuntu?  It works fine except when I maximize windows they span across both screens.  Is this a simple fix?
[03:56] <darkduelist> xopa
[03:56] <kitche> coppro: fglrx does offer opengl if installed correctly it's a known issue with fglrx on how bad it is to install acutally have you checked out the ati docs? by chance
[03:57] <coppro> kitche: I've installed through apt; never tried manually
[03:57] <nado> coppro, do you get freezes when running glxgears ? (that's not intensive i know)
[03:57] <coppro> nado: Not that I've noticed
[03:57] <coppro> but I haven't had it running in the background for long periods
[03:57] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, alternatively you can try IE4linux
[03:57] <wanna_learn_more> nado:not yet
[03:57] <wanna_learn_more> nado:i will try it
[03:57] <kitche> !ati > coppro read the docs here they tell you exactly how to configure the driver I m not good with ati drivers
[03:57] <nado> wanna_learn_more, it should free up a lot more space
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> nado:but isnt
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> nado :i tried it,,now i dont have enough space anymore since my hardisk only 4 gb
[03:58] <itai_michaelson> does anyone know how to uninstall a programme taht was installed using a setup.sh file?
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> should i remove gdm or xrg?
[03:58] <mattgyver83> how do i make a program availble by just typing in the name @ the command line, instead of typing the full path each time?
[03:58] <nado> wanna_learn_more, still after the autoremove ?
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> yeah....stills
[03:58] <asdf_lafleche> hey, does anyone have some info on using dual monitors in ubuntu?  It works fine except when I maximize windows they span across both screens.  Is this a simple fix?  anyone?

[03:59] <iceroot> Nithrin: but you dont need a firewall at all
[04:00] <wanna_learn_more> nado:first i installed ubuntu server intrepid ibex 8.10 and i tried apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

[04:04] <M_> yo guys
[04:04] <oOarthurOo> freeflowcauvery: Do you have mac filtering on the router, and if so is your wireless mac address added to the exception list? If you dual boot windows and can connect from windows then this isn't the problem.

[04:06] <Whitor|> nubuntu,  debian is like ubuntu's bigger brother... I thought you'd be a suse guy or slackware perhaps
[04:06] <freeflowcauvery> and this laptop that I'm having trouble with was able to connect via xp before I blew it out

[04:06] <floato> can someone please help me with my freaking problem
[04:07]  * BlackCoffee sits down with a double bourbon and a hash pipe
[04:07] <nubuntu> no i hate suse
[04:07] <oOarthurOo> freeflowcauvery: Turn off mac filtering until you get your ubuntu laptop connected. Then once you get it connected you can clone the address to ensure that there are no mistypes. Second question, are you connecting with network manager, and  if so have you ever connected succesfully to another secure wireless network?
[04:07] <floato> nubuntu: help me with my problem
[04:07] <Ertain> I look to the logs and everything seems to start fine.

[04:08] <kitche> blackmamba: terminal is for command line
[04:08] <BlackCoffee> float i really wanted to know,how does that make me an idiot?
[04:09] <paragonc> when i ssh into my box from another machine, how can i launch an application so it shows up in gnome

[04:09]  * coppro sets an alarm to go off if the temperature gets above 50
[04:09] <PhotoJim> blackmamba: terminal is the way to use the Linux shell, which uses typed commands to do everything.  Far too rich an environment for me to describe in one sentence.  I recommend you get a Linux book for newbies.  It's super-powerful and super-flexible.

[04:10] <stduseren> any recommendations on ripping dvd software  something like dvd shink
[04:10] <PhotoJim> blackmamba: you're welcome.
[04:10] <aladin403> ubuntu  9.04 faster booting
[04:10] <paragonc> iceroot: Error: no display specified
[04:10] <PhotoJim> Nithrin: installing Linux software manually is fairly complex.  You're far better to use the Ubuntu OpenOffice packages.
[04:10] <coppro> hmm... I wonder if that worked
[04:10] <stduseren> any recommendations on ripping dvd software  something like dvd shink????????//
[04:10] <iceroot> ssh -X user@host      and then type e.g. firefox did not work?
[04:11] <asdf_lafleche> stduseren: I'm sure there's a few.  google it or even just go into add/remove software and type in DVD
[04:11] <coppro> stduseren: dd if=/dev/dvd of=file has worked for me more than enough
[04:11] <iceroot> paragonc: that was for you :) x-forwarding is enabled in sshd.conf?
[04:11] <junglist_> stduseren: Handbrake has a linux version now
[04:11] <BlackCoffee> hi,i'm having a problem with most KDE apps(im using gnome though).all menus and several other text aspects do not appear.what could be going wrong?

[04:11] <stduseren> coppro: thx
[04:11] <maxagaz> What is the config file managed by gnome-keybinding-properties ?
[04:11] <oOarthurOo> psyber: It's actually the screensaver that locks the computer after resume from suspend
[04:12] <paragonc> iceroot: http://pastebin.com/m59a2e398
[04:12] <stduseren> coppro: thx but what is that?
[04:12] <coppro> stduseren dd is a terminal utility that fundamentally copies one file to another, with a lot of options
[04:12] <stduseren> coppro: r u saying just use dd
[04:12] <coppro> yeah, unless you have some specific reason, it should do fine
[04:12] <psyber> oOarthurOo:  ohh, thank you
[04:13] <flippo> f u cn rd ths, u r prbly a trrbl spllr.
[04:13] <iceroot> paragonc: you tried that in xterm?
[04:13] <asdf_lafleche> so any info on where to find settings for dual screen in 9.04?
[04:13] <Whitor|> bluenzo, all supported hardware is detected at boot, if ubuntu sees new hardware, it downloads drivers from its driver repository and installes them, (unless you are talking about proprietary drivers) Then there is a tool that shows you what proprietary hardware you have physically installed and offers to enable the proprietary drivers for it.
[04:13] <stduseren> coppro: what about the encryption?
[04:13] <paragonc> iceroot: i'm in terminal on my macbook ssh'ing into my ubuntu 8.10 box
[04:13] <jtiner> hey guys, could any of you recommend a company that supplies shells?
[04:13] <paragonc> iceroot: my ubuntu box is hooked up to my tv
[04:14] <oOarthurOo> jtiner: Ubuntu has at least three shells available.
[04:14] <coppro> stduseren: the resulting image would still be encrypted - you'll need more advanced software to remove that
[04:14] <iceroot> paragonc: type xterm  and then do it again with ssh
[04:14] <aspoor> ssh is a shell?
[04:14] <M_> hey guys, did anyone make a zte 3g modem work fine in ubuntu?
[04:14] <SeViLLa> jtiner: what do you mean by supplies shells
[04:14] <jtiner> oOarthurOo: that's cool and everything, but for work i have to run vista or xp - so i'm trying to find a shell to use with PuTTY
[04:14] <PhotoJim> aspoor: ssh isn't a shell.  ssh is a way to connect to a shell on another machine.
[04:15] <iceroot> aspoor: ssh is a protocol
[04:15] <paragonc> iceroot: im confused, do i type xterm in terminal on my macbook?
[04:15] <iceroot> paragonc: yes
[04:15] <aspoor> I see
[04:15] <paragonc> iceroot: i dont have xterm on my macbook
[04:15] <iceroot> paragonc: hm ok
[04:15] <paragonc> iceroot: only terminal
[04:15] <aspoor> like z modem, lol
[04:16] <aspoor> or cexyz?
[04:16] <PhotoJim> jtiner: you can buy shell access from lots of companies.  or you can find an old computer (even a 486 or Pentium) and run a Linux distribution on it, and enable an ssh server to which you can connect.
[04:16] <grocer> xterm is a terminal on mac...it can run different shells...i ended up putting bash on mine...
[04:16] <paragonc> im using the default terminal.app in os x 10.4
[04:16] <jtiner> PhotoJim: yeah i'm with that, i have a laptop and this machine i'm on now, but i have to keep windows on them for work - kinda lame huh
[04:17] <PhotoJim> jtiner: there is a version of Ubuntu you can run as a Windows task.  or you can run Linux off a bootable CD.
[04:17] <jewfish> grocer, xterm is a terminal emulator not a physical terminal ;)
[04:17] <grocer> is there a graphics problem ubuntu chat?
[04:17] <PhotoJim> jtiner: or just pick up a cheap Pentium III with decent memory and play with Linux on that.
[04:17] <SeViLLa> grocer: so is xterm the same for ubuntu
[04:18] <lwizardl> anyone here used something like this with ubuntu? http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/op/z_002336tray.jpg
[04:18] <grocer> isn't bash the same in whatever terminal you're in? (virtual or otherwise?)
[04:18] <PhotoJim> grocer: more or less.
[04:18] <grocer> ergo, wouldn't you just pick the same shell?
[04:19] <nado> lwizardl, a rack ?
[04:19] <SeViLLa> jewfish: thats what i thought xterm was
[04:19] <lwizardl> nado, mobile rack yes
[04:19] <paragonc> ok - let me rephrase this - i'd like the application im launching to load on the off site server
[04:19] <nado> lwizardl, do you want the system installed on it ?
[04:19] <arodd> DasEi:  Thank you.
[04:20] <nado> paragonc, how are you connecting to the off site server ?
[04:20] <paragonc> nado: ssh
[04:21] <nado> if you want to start a graphical application, you need to 'ssh -X' forward X display
[04:21] <nado> paragonc, if you want to run an application that keeps running even when you log off, check 'man screen'
[04:21] <lwizardl> nado, not really, what i was thinking about doing was installing the main os onto the internal drive something like an 80gb and then having multiple other drives using those racks for the media frontend to read
[04:22] <nado> lwizardl, it should not be a problem
[04:22] <lwizardl> nado, but would i have to keep doing anything when i change the drives out with something else?
[04:23] <nado> lwizardl, the system should recognize that the drives are different and compute a unique UUID for each drive
[04:23] <nado> technically you should not have to do anything
[04:23] <nado> but that's the theory you know :D
[04:23] <lwizardl> nado, so it would basically act like it does with external usb drives
[04:23] <lwizardl> yeah
[04:23] <Kirill_> I formatted a drive in Gparted to be HFS+ and now Ubuntu can't write to it, only read it. What gives?
[04:24] <nado> it would act more like an internal drive lwizardl
[04:24] <nado> unless you rack is USB.. but it doesn't seem like it
[04:24] <mysticdarkhack> hello\
[04:24] <lwizardl> Kirill_, well hfs+ if its journalised then it can't write to it, disable journal on it and ubuntu would be able to write to it
[04:24] <BlackCoffee> hi,i'm having a problem with most KDE apps(im using gnome though).all menus and several other text aspects do not appear.what could be going wrong?
[04:25] <mysticdarkhack> anyone know the name of the screen resolution in ubuntu?
[04:25] <lwizardl> mysticdarkhack, ?
[04:25] <nado> mysticdarkhack, what are you looking for exactly ?
[04:25] <mysticdarkhack> screen resolution manager
[04:26] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> I don't have a Mac. I formatted it using default settings in Gparted? Would Gparted make it journaled by default??
[04:26] <rcy>  My desktop is too big for the display. No matter the resolution I select, part of the desktop is not on the screen. Using 8.10 with Nvidia 8400 pci-e card. I'm using version 177 of the Nvidia driver. Any ideas?
[04:26] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA?
[04:26] <grocer> is this the same thing on Freenode?
[04:26] <nado> mysticdarkhack, System->Preferences->Screen Resolution
[04:26] <BlackCoffee> can i dual boot windows and ubuntu installing windows on another hard drive instead of creating a new partition?
[04:27] <tonsofpcs> DaemonLee: check your hardware
[04:27] <nado> rcy, pm me
[04:27] <DaemonLee> tonsofpcs, What do you mean by that/
[04:27] <DaemonLee> *?
[04:27] <L3dPlatedLinux> ok I know this is stupid but I forgot how to adjust how many desktops I have ?
[04:27] <itai_michaelson> BlackCoffee, yes
[04:27] <rcy> nado: not sure how to do that...
[04:27] <mysticdarkhack> nado it now on my system, preferences since I did some upgrade
[04:27] <lwizardl> nado, ok because i'm looking to build a media backend server to house all my media files (dvds, videos, pictures, music, etc). and I want to be able to swap out drives incase I run out of empty bays in the case
[04:27] <PhotoJim> BlackCoffee: sure.  on my desktop, I have grub (the boot software) and Windows on one drive, and my entire Linux installation on another physical drive.
[04:28] <TornilloTorcido> Hola?
[04:28] <mysticdarkhack> so I just wondering the name of it so I can install it
[04:28] <TornilloTorcido> Hay alguien aca?
[04:28] <BlackCoffee> great
[04:28] <lwizardl> L3dPlatedLinux, right click the desktop icon in bottom right of screen
[04:28] <nado> lwizardl, yeah i understand.. it shouldnt be a problem
[04:28] <BlackCoffee> i just didn't wanna go thru the live cd formatting tool step
[04:28] <aladin403> 9.04 driver 180.37  have a good display
[04:28] <L3dPlatedLinux> I removed that i know there has to be another way
[04:28] <nado> lwizardl, not sure you can hot swap them though
[04:28] <lwizardl> Kirill_, doubtful but you might want to check anyway
[04:28] <BlackCoffee> last time i did that i lost suse and winxp :\
[04:28] <space_cadet> blackcoffee y not?
[04:28] <space_cadet> ahh
[04:28] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, do you have vista?
[04:29] <PhotoJim> BlackCoffee: install a second drive, and tell Linux to install the OS there.  No problem.
[04:29] <BlackCoffee> i have no windows in my system since that day lol
[04:29] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, as long as you use manual in the partitioning step and defrag your xp partition
[04:29] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> I read somewhere that running chown on the external drive can do the trick but I'm on Ubuntu Live CD and the drive is owned by root
[04:29] <BlackCoffee> i'm planning on installing xpsp2 but only for audio production
[04:29] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV.
[04:29] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, the manual partitioning step is just that, manual
[04:29] <lwizardl> nado, yeah thats what i was looking for, was thinking about keeping my porn collection on one of those and using it only on the frontend that will view the stuff
[04:29] <DaemonLee> And it shows bootup, perfectly.
[04:29] <itai_michaelson> BlackCoffee, windows will wipe out your grub bottloader - you will need to reinstall it afterwards
[04:29] <BlackCoffee> yeah,i read about that
[04:30] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, BlackCoffee or use the bootpart method and utilize windows' bootloader
[04:30] <nado> lol lwizardl , i don't need to know the details of what's on your drives man :D
[04:30] <BlackCoffee> i mean,i'm kind of studying the manual,don't want ubuntu to die
[04:30] <aladin403> any have installyng ubuntu 9.04 beta vers¿?
[04:30] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, BlackCoffee but then you have to install grub to ubuntu's partition not the MBR
[04:30] <lwizardl> Kirill_, ah well to do a chown its basically what i do is just 'chmod 777 /path/to/drive' which lets all my users write to it
[04:30] <nado> lwizardl, http://linux.die.net/man/1/hotswap
[04:30] <space_cadet> and you get two boot loaders. kinda redundant
[04:31] <BlackCoffee> but...is it ok if i leave only the default windows bootloader?will it show ubuntu too?
[04:31] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV goes black.
[04:31] <lwizardl> nado, hehe i'm just being honest (you know something that doesn't happen alot on irc)
[04:31] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, like I said, you have to install grub to ubuntu's partition
[04:31] <nado> hehe :)
[04:31] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, it defaults to the MBR
[04:31] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, there are tuts out there on how to "restore grub"
[04:31] <lwizardl> DaemonLee, first you gotta enable that in the monitor options. which usually is set for second display
[04:32] <BlackCoffee> yeah,i have one of those bookmarked,got it from the ubuntu forum
[04:32] <itai_michaelson> BlackCoffee, space_cadet i believe it would be easier just to restore grub
[04:32] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, from what I've experienced, grub fails to load xp
[04:32] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, on my machine at least
[04:32] <BlackCoffee> i'll do whatever suits better for a n00b
[04:33] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, i never had that experience...
[04:33] <aladin403> swap  begin cilindres (most rend)
[04:33] <aladin403> faster boot
[04:33] <nado> lwizardl, there is a gui front end for it also. Package hotswap-gui
[04:33] <lwizardl> nado, ah sweet thanks
[04:33] <Kirill_> YES!!!
[04:33] <Kirill_> I can write to HFS+!!!!
[04:34] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, basically the way I did it, install xp, then ubuntu, when installing ubuntu, install grub on ubuntu's partition (at the last step before actually installing)  THEN, after the install, boot to windows, use bootpart to grab the bootsector of the ubuntu partition and add an entry to BOOT.INI and then you have it working.
[04:34] <space_cadet> but that is a lot of work   ^^
[04:34] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> I can write to it from terminal using sudo
[04:34] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV goes black.
[04:34] <aladin403> ..b o ot  ...swap  nad...ext4 files of system
[04:34] <grocer> I put Unbuntu 8.10 on an ancient PII 300 with 448mb ram and a TNT2...it runs fine (on it right now) but it's stuck in 800x600. Is a TNT2 thing?
[04:34] <Nithrin> What is a good program in Ubuntu to watch movies?
[04:34] <aladin403> is partition perfect
[04:35] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, what's your disk like right now.
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> well
[04:35] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, aka, what do you have installed?
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> i have ubuntu installed on the primary hard disk,it's a 40 gb disk
[04:35] <lwizardl> Kirill_, ok then its not a journal partition, do the install like you was going to do then either chown the drive to make it your users or just chmod 777 to give full access to everyone on that machine
[04:35] <nado> Nithrin, vlc is great
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> and have 25 free gigas
[04:35] <psyber> anyone here have trouble reconnecting to wired Internet after standby?
[04:35] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, and you want to do what?
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> i want to leave that only for running ubuntu
[04:36] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: there's some info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/SVideo that might be instructive
[04:36] <BlackCoffee> and windows running from another hdd
[04:36] <aladin403> memory swap usage 0 ..256 MB is suficient
[04:36] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, Looking now.
[04:36] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, well...  what I would do is go out in search for "dual boot xp ubuntu, ubuntu first"
[04:36] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, and just apply that to a dual HDD situation
[04:37] <space_cadet> OR
[04:37] <lwizardl> also anyone know how to tell before you buy a raid controller if it supports ubuntu & linux? example would the ubuntu installer be able to directly use the controller without needing extra stuff or config
[04:37] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, I get an error when attempting any of those.
[04:37] <DaemonLee> The error is: Can't open display.
[04:37] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, you could remove your ubuntu HDD and place another HDD in and install XP, then put the ubuntu HDD back in, and make the xp drive a slave.
[04:37] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> Thank you for your help and tips. I'm copying stuff to the drive using sudo dd already. I hope it's all smooth sailing from here.
[04:37] <Nithrin> I heard that Dell XPS M1530 overworks the processes or inefficiently uses it or something. Is this true?
[04:37] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, then update grub.
[04:38] <BlackCoffee> so basically i have this many options
[04:38] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, BlackCoffee in that case ,install XP, restore grub would probably be the easiest, in the unlikely case it doesnt work- install grub to ubuntu partition and restore mbr
[04:38] <Whitor|> Hi, found answer, acpi -t  will show cpu temp from a command line.
[04:38] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: have you tried option B yet ?
[04:38] <lwizardl> Kirill_, congrats man. i only needed a hfs+ drive for my 360 to read my HD wmv collection
[04:38] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, should I?
[04:38] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, ^^ read my last two posts, and see if that may work.
[04:38] <bluenzo> BlackCoffee, can i PM you?
[04:38] <BlackCoffee> sure
[04:38] <speedcore> is there any open source banking system. A routing protocol where people lend to people, only very small pieces. Så security of repayment is through all of the nodes. Otherwize? There is an idea for you all =)
[04:39] <aladin403> master boot  windows defaults of fabrick get up dual boot with linux
[04:39] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, you think that is easier than install xp ,restore grub?
[04:39] <aladin403> it's true
[04:39] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: i would have tried both other options first personally, you might want to explicitly add display, checking man xrandr on that before going for B
[04:39] <DaemonLee> I tried both other options, and both options gave me error.
[04:39] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, depends on what you mean by easier?
[04:39] <DaemonLee> So, I dunno.
[04:40] <DaemonLee> I'll try.
[04:40] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, I've really had no experience installing xp to a slave drive with ubuntu already installed to the master
[04:40] <psyber> anyone here have trouble reconnecting to wired Internet after standby?
[04:40] <aladin403> you have a problems booting .sure
[04:41] <asdf_n00b> hey.  does anyone know how to work dcgui?  I can't seem to add shared folders.  everytime i reconnect they seem to dissapear.  i'm disconnected from my hub saying I'm not sharing enough
[04:41] <Sal--> anyone have any experience setting up a samba server so you can mount shares on a computer outside of the network?
[04:41] <mattgyver83> Sal-- just basic windows to linux networking?
[04:41] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, my experience is that install xp ,restore grub works fine (though doesnt work with vista that smoothly)...
[04:41] <Sal--> matt, in my case mac to linux
[04:41] <space_cadet> lol
[04:41] <Sal--> but windows to linux as well would be nice
[04:41] <quietas> Hey all, what's out there for web based torrent clients? I've been trying torrentflux, but it seems to have issues with PB's http headers, Transmission works, but it's plain. Does Azureus/Vuze have a decent Web interface?
[04:41] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, I just did the reverse on a dell lol
[04:42] <Erik__> any suggestions for a lightweight MTA.  All I need is something that will accept SMTP connections from localhost and then deliver to the destination MX server
[04:42] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, restarting now with info added in Xorg.
[04:42] <Kirill_> Hmm, how does dd work on Live CD. Am I going to run out of memory because it's putting the entire harddisk image in it?
[04:42] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, installed ubuntu on an xp machine?
[04:42] <arodd> quietas: deluge webui is pretty rocking
[04:42] <mattgyver83> Sal-- Im not the brightest but it took me a long time to figure out i had to create a smb user and password to connect, could that be what you need to do?
[04:42] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: ok, goodluck
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, vista
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, and actually...
[04:42] <Sal--> possibly
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, hold on one sec.
[04:42] <voxel> Is there a way to recursively delete files that match a certain pattern from an arbitrary directory structure? I tried rm -r ./tmp*
[04:42] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, I know it works, because I can see it all the way up to login.
[04:42] <Sal--> sorry I'm using strictly command line here, no gui
[04:42] <DaemonLee> FAILURE!
[04:42] <grocer> Ubuntu 8.10 with a TNT2, does the NV driver support 1024x768? I'm stuck in 800x600...
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991987
[04:42] <DaemonLee> Correction....
[04:42] <DaemonLee> SUCCESS!
[04:42] <DaemonLee> I think.
[04:42] <FloodBot2> DaemonLee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:43] <BlackCoffee> space_cadet: either way,all options seem very viable.i'll probably read more about all of them in different web tutorials and select the one that suits more for a noob like me
[04:43] <DaemonLee> lol
[04:43] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, that's my thread
[04:43] <quietas> arodd: I saw that one, the documentation was a bit sketchy, I'll look deeper
[04:43] <mattgyver83> Sal-- @ command line run -smbpasswd -a <user> where user = the name you want
[04:43] <Erik__> look into the find command with the -exec option, voxel
[04:43] <DaemonLee> lol
[04:43] <asdf_n00b> hmm..  dcgui? anyone?
[04:43] <mattgyver83> Sal-- Then it will promopt for a password.  After that as long as the 2 PCs see each other on the network you can connect just fine
[04:43] <arodd> quietas: I think it is integrated and no longer a plugin but don't quote me
[04:44] <Sal--> matt, is there anyway to track bandwidth usage ?
[04:44] <WBL_O_O> Can I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 from a distro cd that came with a friends new dell?
[04:44] <mattgyver83> That i dont know
[04:44] <quietas> arodd: hehe, I read a bit and it says the best parts are plugins, but I think most is built in now as there are only two plugins to download
[04:44] <Tann> Hello
[04:44] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, as long as you don't wipe your ubuntu partitions you should be good.
[04:44] <itai_michaelson> Black Coffee (and space_cadet ), you have many options, no doubt the fastest would be install xp then restore grub , but if that someohow doesnt work -there are other options as described before - perhaps those options are safer
[04:44] <oOarthurOo> Anyway to fix openoffice menus with the new wave theme?
[04:44] <mattgyver83> Sal-- I imagine there are system monitor gui tools you can find however from command line, im not sure
[04:44] <Sal--> yeah im sure
[04:44] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee,  agreed with itai_michaelson above.. ^^
[04:45] <aladin403> hmm... you need help  of a expert .i dont know
[04:45] <Sal--> what about restricting access here
[04:45] <Sal--> i just created an account
[04:45] <Sal--> but i was hoping whatever user shell accounts would have the same perms on the samba share itself
[04:45] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, out of interest - why did you keep vista?
[04:45] <Sal--> such as restricting to the home directory
[04:45] <aladin403> i am  expert  80%
[04:45] <Tann> Is it possible to use multiple GPUs in Jaunty? In this case I have an newer NVIDIA card and an older one.
[04:45] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, unsure on whether or not i wanted to use 7 half time or not.
[04:46] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, i had just installed 7
[04:46] <aladin403> you need a miracle
[04:46] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, I have since formatted and have win7 and ubuntu only.
[04:46] <arodd> quietas: the best part of deluge is now you can launch the gui from any pc and connect to a backend central deluge daemon.  Windows/Linux/etc.
[04:46] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, :-)
[04:47] <Sal--> matt, i still can't connect :(
[04:47] <arodd> quietas: since they added that support i dropped the webui
[04:47] <Sal--> remember i'm outside the network
[04:47] <Sal--> on the computer that i'm trying to mount the share on
[04:47] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, this one looks allright at first glance... http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm
[04:47] <mattgyver83> Sal-- That shouldnt be a big issue, as long as you can see it, you should be able to connect, at least i would think so
[04:47] <aladin403> oh my god :-)
[04:47] <Sal--> i'm trying, it just looks like it's hanging
[04:48] <BlackCoffee> let's see
[04:48] <quietas> arodd: nice, any howto's out there?  I guess I'll have to go conf hunting
[04:48] <mattgyver83> Sal-- If there is a firewall on the other side it could be blocking the connection
[04:48] <WBL_O_O> is it possible to upgrade 7.10 using an 8.04 distribution cd that came with a new dell? or does upgrading require a special cd?
[04:48] <Sal--> no firewall
[04:48] <mattgyver83> WBL, you can do it that way i think
[04:48] <Sal--> it's my server i have root access
[04:48] <Sal--> what port does samba run on?
[04:48] <Sal--> 137 ?
[04:48] <quietas> several as I remember
[04:49] <mattgyver83> Yeah, 443 comes to mind as well
[04:49] <quietas> 445 also
 is for expert  but you can intent
[04:49] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, if you are going to use that tut, just disregard the "make space for windows xp" if you are going to use a seperate drive...
[04:49] <WBL_O_O> mattgyver83-> I don't want to blow away my data
[04:49] <BePhantom> back
[04:49] <BlackCoffee> actually i was reading that when i decided to come here and make my question lol
[04:49] <quietas> 137, 19 for the netbios stuff as well
[04:49] <melik> what is Update Notifier in Sesions?
[04:49] <quietas> 137, 139 for the netbios stuff as well
[04:49] <space_cadet> lol
[04:50] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, what was your original question?
[04:50] <Sal--> 443 is ssl
[04:50] <arodd> quietas: if you pm me i can walk you through it
[04:50] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, i wasnt here to read it.
[04:50] <Sal--> i don't see any rules in the iptables
[04:50] <bluenzo> space_cadet, im duel booting vista and ubuntu
[04:50] <space_cadet> k
[04:50] <sergio> Q
[04:50] <space_cadet> bluenzo, ok..
[04:50] <map7`afk> If i've setup a VPN through NetworkManager, how would I run that connection on the command line?
   :-)
[04:50] <bluenzo> i find it easiest to install vista first then ubuntu, cuz then grub's list if perfect
