[15:55] <Fat> Woops Again, start over...  When I try to access a directory on my desktop from terminal with "cd  /1961" it responds that the directory does not exist, any ideas?
[15:55] <amenado> GreedyB-> i did not ask about nautilus, use the command line to print what i asked..then i can help you
[15:55] <MrPeepers310> amenado: well it has binary stuff as well, it's a vb file
[15:56] <Pseudomocha> spiritssight: it might be unstable, might not work properly with your release, there are many reasons
[15:56] <spiritssight> Thanks
[15:56] <Pseudomocha> spiritssight: but the .deb file will probably work
[15:56] <amenado> MrPeepers310-> what your looking for is something like a svn or version control system, set up one yourself, its not that overly difficult
[15:56] <erUSUL> Fat: /1961 refer not to your desktop but to a folder on the root / folder
[15:56] <Pici> Fat: / is the root of your filesystem.  you'd need to cd Desktop/1961 or cd /home/youruser/Desktop/1961
[15:56] <^paradox^> is SIP4 all i need or do also need any dev packages etc?
[15:56] <erUSUL> Fat: cd ~/Desktop/1961
[15:57] <Fat> erUSUL:  Bingo!  Thanks again!

[16:02] <Dimensions> hi ... im looking for an application which shows total memory and cpu usage along with per programme ... just like 'top' 'htop' etc .. but i need its output to be saved aswell ... currenly when i try the same with mentioned applications they put garbage in saved file ... Does any one know a better way of doing it ???
[16:02] <johnfg> sipior: Thanks, I think, since I really need most of server, it will be better to add the ubuntu-desktop after server's installed.

[16:11] <wiehan> hoonteke update will fix that
[16:11] <mikeypizano> my fan isnt working right sometimes it refuses to go on, my processor just hit 84C and i had to restart
[16:12] <klync> i downloaded vmware player as a ".bundle" file... anyone know what I'm supposed to do with it? `file` thinks it's a bash script
[16:12] <hoonteke> wiehan: no, the window is opening, then closing.  When run from cmdline, (sudo gdmsetup) I get a segmentation fault.
[16:12] <rohan_1> hello guys is it possible to automatically make usb drives to appear on the network?

[16:13] <Khisanth> how the heck do I make the settings I change through the NetworkManager GUI stick?!
[16:13] <kjetil1001> simple Q: Can I burn a CDrom when running on a liveCD? If, how? ??Will not eject?
[16:13] <klync> huh... apparently, it *is8 a bash script
[16:13] <hoonteke> kjetil1001: depends on how much memory you have
[16:13] <amenado> Khisanth-> edit the /etc/network/interfaces file
[16:13] <kjetil1001> 2Gigabyte ram
[16:14] <hoonteke> kjetil1001: if you ahve enough, you can boot up teh LiveCD ... in something like memory only or ... I don't know the wording
[16:14] <hoonteke> kjetil1001: then you will be able to use the cdrom drive
[16:14] <Khisanth> amenado: I don't want to change anything in that file, I want to change the stuff that is in /etc/resolv.conf
[16:14]  * vorador Boas!
[16:14] <rohan_1> kjetil1001: thats enough but in the live cd mode you cant take out the CD because all programs are in the CD
[16:14] <kjetil1001> How do I boot up the CDlive in memory-only mode?
[16:15] <hoonteke> kjetil1001: it still may not be enough however, because that will take somethin glike 1.2 or 1.5 gigs right there
[16:15] <hoonteke> kjetil1001: it's ... hold on
[16:15] <Khisanth> I can change it in NM and it will save it in /etc/resolv.conf but after awhile it reverts back to the old settings -_-
[16:15] <unop> klync, if file thinks its a bash script - make it executable and run it
[16:15] <rohan_1> kjetil1001: try an ubuntu live pendrive
[16:15] <socal> mon^rch, have you tried [man freshclam] to find the answer to your question?
[16:15] <amenado> Khisanth-> then change the /etc/resolv.conf  but everytime you get a new ip, that changes again
[16:15] <hoonteke> kjetil1001: that's a good suggestion
[16:15] <klync> unop: yeah, i was just a bit surprised... i just downloaded a 61Mb bash script
[16:15] <hoonteke> or rather, rohan_1: that's a good suggestion.
[16:16] <Khisanth> hmm yeah I remember now, there is a setting in the dhclient conf
[16:16] <mon^rch> wiehan: that didnt work
[16:16] <klync> i mean, i've written some convoluted code in my time, but...
[16:16] <unop> klync, it probably contains binary data as heredocs
[16:16] <hoonteke> rohan_1: are there instructions for kjetil1001 anywhere for how to make a pen drive?
[16:16] <hoonteke> I haven't done that yet ...
[16:16] <klync> unop: no doubt

[16:25] <willluongo> Hello, I am trying to set up my ubuntu server to act as my router and gateway using iptables and nat. It turns out that IPs outside of my LAN resolve, but I can only get to domains on the server, not on clients. Does anyone have any ideas?
[16:26] <amenado> willluongo-> which clients are you referring to? what is their ip address and what name server do they use?
[16:26] <woe3634> willluongo: get the dns settings for the clients right
[16:27] <willluongo> woe3634 clients are right, it is a problem with my server configuration.
[16:27] <willluongo> amenado my LAN clients, with local IPs
[16:27] <woe3634> willluongo: what did you set as dns server on the clients?
[16:27] <amenado> willluongo-> how did they get their ip address?
[16:28] <willluongo> amenado static IP
[16:28] <amenado> willluongo-> answer woe3634 question, whats the name server you used for the clients?
[16:28] <willluongo> woe3634 the gateway's IP. Should I set them to my ISP's nameserver

[16:30] <linny> willluongo: ill check them out thx
[16:30] <msh> but I cant change resolution more then 1200x800 on ubuntu. Anyone can help me?
[16:30] <amenado> willluongo-> well, you have to set up your network properly, if you can resolve the outside ip address then thats good enuff, you dont have too many lan clients, so try to use the /etc/hosts to resolv them
[16:32] <willluongo> amenado woe3634 setting up the nameservers correctly fixed it :D I am sorry I assumed my client was set up correctly, my other router forwarded the nameservers...

[16:49] <LjL> nachi_, Ubuntu doesn't just "know" about newer versions. people must package them. and packages are *never* updated in Ubuntu, except for security patches and bugfixes.
[16:49] <LjL> !backports | nachi_
[16:49] <comicinker> nautilus on the client side says: "mounting of the windows memory failed" or alike. could somebody help me out? (runnign hardy on clien and server)
[16:49] <Pici> mib_7jzk06: It should be about the same.
[16:49] <nachi_>  !packaging
[16:49] <mib_7jzk06> Pici: thanks
[16:49] <unop> sledge, what do the <img src=""> tags look like when you view the HTML
[16:50] <cosmodad> unop: why is it then that if I try to remove it, aptitude wants to get rid of compiz stuff as well?
[16:50] <eregi> Ljl ALL parts... get an err http://paste.php.lv/8094
[16:50] <morpholology> Hey - I tried to suspend to disk once, and now every time I boot up it's telling me that it can't find the resume file. Is there any way to clear it manually? Running intrepid though.
[16:50] <mib_7jzk06> Thanks everybody for being here to help out with questions! Bye!
[16:50] <cosmodad> unop: btw the package description of ubuntu-desktop says: "It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed."
[16:50] <LjL> eregi: yes, you DO need to enable universe. i think i sent you a link about it, i'll send it again.
[16:50] <LjL> !universe > eregi    (eregi, see the private message from Ubotu)

[16:50] <unop> cosmodad, you can find out why a package is being removed.  aptitude why-not package_name
[16:51] <sledge> unop someone else told me its an Apache problem not a HTML problem
[16:51] <justshams> hi.. i need help to configure the webcam in my syustem.. i have monitor integrated webcam and mic, i have a desktop with a dell monitor.. running hardy.. i am a newbie.. so need help..
[16:51] <LjL> nachi_: anyway, don't bother with backports, since phpmyadmin 3 isn't even in Intrepid, so no chance it gets backported this semester
[16:51] <LjL> unop: that's a new one to me...
[16:51] <cosmodad> unop: if I do that on ubuntu-desktop, it says "The package "ubuntu-desktop" is manually installed.". What do I do now?
[16:51] <justshams> i tried to install cheese camorama adn also tried with ekiga and skype.. nothing works.. i can see the devices in lsusb..
[16:51] <enriaf> I can't mount a pendrive in ubuntu or in any OS, I have tried desactivating the module ehci_hcd but nothing happens
[16:52] <mykool> Does Mythbuntu have a # here?
[16:52] <unop> sledge, there's your problem -  you need to change src to a relative URL ..
[16:52] <Pici> mykool: #mythbuntu
[16:52] <LjL> Pici: nope
[16:52] <Pici> er
[16:52] <unop> sledge, try this.   <img src="home.jpg"  .....
[16:52] <enriaf> the output of the log: dmesg is like new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 106
[16:52] <LjL> there is an  #ubuntu-mythtv
[16:52] <sledge> unop:  and just leave it in /var/www/ ?
[16:52] <Pici> mykool: Sorry, #ubuntu-mythtv
[16:53] <cosmodad> unop: there seems to be no manpage entry on why-not, which is why I need to keep asking.
[16:53] <mykool> thankyou Pici and LjL
[16:53] <justshams> any body plaese help
[16:53] <unop> sledge, yea .. as /var/www is your document root .. home.jpg is relative to the documentroot there
[16:53] <bobertdos> enriaf: If you can't mount the drive i any OS, then it's a problem with the drive. Is it recognized by a partitioner so that you can possible reformat/repartition it?
[16:53] <eregi> Ljl can you just pls give me lines to add to the terminal, don't have time to read. please..
[16:53] <unop> cosmodad, hmm - you might be using an older version of aptitude then
[16:54] <cosmodad> unop: yeah I'm still on 7.04.
[16:54] <LjL> eregi, that's the lamest excuse i've heard, honestly.
[16:54] <cosmodad> unop: found some explanation in the doc directory, however.
[16:54] <enriaf> No it is not recognise for gparted or anything also the $ lsusb
[16:54] <cosmodad> unop: still, how'd I go about resolving this issue? Any idea?
[16:54] <enriaf> bobertdos
[16:54] <unop> cosmodad, that could explain it - well, it looks to me like the package that are being removed somehow depend on tracker or a library related to tracker
[16:55] <jakisktos> i havent`t network drivers in my distro 8.04
[16:55] <jakisktos> how to fix that?
[16:55] <justshams> hello
[16:55] <unop> cosmodad, errm, see if apt-get does this any better - aptitude can be a little more aggresive at tiomes
[16:55] <sledge> unop:  awsome it worked. thank
[16:55] <justshams> anybody listening to me??
[16:55] <LjL> eregi: you'd have solved the problem already if you had read that link back when i first gave it
[16:55] <bobertdos> enriaf: Hmm, then I think you're just going to have to chalk it up as a hardware failure.
[16:55] <unop> sledge, so you need to change all src attributes to point to images at URL relative to where the page is at
[16:56] <cosmodad> unop: ok apt-get seems to do the job.
[16:56] <cosmodad> unop: thanks a lot
[16:56] <gahan> !current
[16:56] <enriaf> bobertdos:  I have been using it for a long time with out any problem, and I don't remenber of unplugin it with unmount
[16:56] <unop> LjL, sorry, what's a new one to you??
[16:56] <sledge> unop:  now how do i set it up so you can read it from your house
[16:56] <sledge> lol
[16:56] <LjL> unop: why-not
[16:56] <unop> LjL, ahh yea, a recent addition that
[16:57] <LjL> unop: and funny sounding too
[16:57] <unop> LjL, yea, aptitude has a why too :)
[16:57] <enriaf> bobertdos: It started to happend after erase the virus that I was having when I was Using an Windows OS
[16:57] <turtle_> thanks whoever told me how to screen capture
[16:57] <LjL> unop: next turn, the apt-get team will add "because"
[16:58] <turtle_> now I can use movie snapshots as my background.  I love Audrey Tatou!   :)
[16:58] <unop> sledge, errm, the way i told you i suppose
[16:58] <cosmodad> how much disk space do I need for upgrading? I guess it depends on the number of packages that are already installed, but I'd be glad for some figure.
[16:58] <cosmodad> upgading ubuntu...
[16:58] <enriaf> boertdos: I have posted it in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936985
[16:58] <sledge> unop:  i mean i have a local web server turned on, how do i make it non local.. so its on the web?
[16:58] <Pici> cosmodad: if you upgrade using apt-get, it will tell you the amount of disk space that needs to be used.
[16:58] <unop> LjL, ha ha yea
[16:59] <usser> turtle_, check out xwinwrap
[16:59] <cosmodad> Pici: aptitude as well?
[16:59] <Pici> cosmodad: Yes.
[16:59] <enriaf> sledge: do you have router?
[16:59] <cosmodad> Pici: thanks.
[16:59] <usser> turtle_, but for it to work you have to have 3d acceleration and compiz
[16:59] <unop> sledge, ohh - have you registered a domain name ?
[16:59] <sledge> unop:  not yet, should i go order one now?
[16:59] <^paradox^> just as a refresher im trying to share the printer an hp psc 1110 over a network with two computers. the computer the printers hooked up to is a windows vista home pc. im trying to share it to this pc running ubuntu 8.04. ive installed samba, samba-common, smbfs. ive configured it and set the vista pc to share files and printers. the printer receives test pages sent to it but doesnt print them. they show up in the job list saying spooling and the print
[16:59] <^paradox^> er physically tries to print them, but to no effect.
[17:00] <bobertdos> enriaf: Hmm, I wonder if the Windows partitioner could recognize it.
[17:00] <unop> sledge, well yea, if you prefer people to access your site by a memorable name - though you can always access a site via IP address
[17:00] <jim_p> how do you disable automount for removable media????
[17:00] <enriaf> sledge: I don't use any domain name and I am able to connect to my web server over all the planet just with the IP
[17:00] <bobertdos> jim_p: You mean mounting upon being plugged in?
[17:01] <^paradox^> ive put all the steps i went through to configure plus things i did that were suggested to me in this pastebin http://rafb.net/p/PGKt2Y50.html
[17:01] <jim_p> bobertdos: yes. i want that disabled!
[17:01] <sledge> unop:  well i guess ill try the IP address first
[17:01] <enriaf> bobertdos: When I plug it in windos a pop-out appears saying something like: "The USB it is not working well"
[17:01] <r3c0n> hey
[17:02] <unop> sledge, yea, you can do that to test the site out yourself
[17:02] <r3c0n> where can i find spare parts for a car other than ebay ??
[17:02] <sledge> <IP_ADDRESS>/save.html
[17:02] <bazhang> r3c0n, this is ubuntu support

[17:02] <enriaf> bobertdos: I haven't try with a partitioner
[17:02] <r3c0n> just as an advice
[17:02] <unop> sledge, yea, i see it :)
[17:03] <r3c0n> maybe someone know

[17:04] <mike1504> I had several users uploading files
[17:04] <unop> sledge, that's your job tho :) with dreamweaver
[17:04] <maek> r3c0n, Has Canonical released a car ?? WOW !!!!!
[17:04] <mike1504> I was changein mod and owner name
[17:04] <MaXo2> skunk_ ?
[17:04] <mike1504> to make the files read only to users in the ftp group
[17:04] <legend2440> jim_p: read the post by michael spenser about disabling automount using gconf
[17:05] <mike1504> and to make the ftp group the group the files belonged to
[17:05] <jim_p> legend2440: yea that seems the most logical
[17:05] <bobertdos> jim_p: I don't know how to disable that, exactly. There might be some sort of option under System->Preferences->Removalble Media or Edit->Preferences->Media under Nautilus, but i"m not sure
[17:05] <mike1504> I had copied a find pipe from somewhere to help cut my admin time
[17:06] <LjL> mike1504, what's the error exactly, what's the filesystem that's being read-only, and what was the stuff you typed exactly (use the pastebin)
[17:06] <mike1504> at some point I closed a terminal window and got an error that there were 3 somethings left  I don't remember at this point what
[17:06] <mike1504> when I reopened terminal and tried chmod again I got access denied read-only file system
[17:07] <kudak> guys, what makes resolv.conf re-update itself ? DHCP Lease maybe ??
[17:07] <mike1504> I restarted hoping that that would clear up the issue
[17:07] <usser> kudak, yes its dhcp
[17:07] <mike1504> when I restarted it would not start,
[17:07] <LjL> mike1504: it didn't run fsck to check your drive?
[17:07] <mike1504> I have posted on ubunt help forum what I got at the restart ,
[17:07] <unop> kudak, dhclient actually
[17:08] <LjL> mike1504: i'd appreciate having the URL of that then
[17:08] <usser> kudak, check out /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to override
[17:08] <unop> kudak, or resolvconf if you have it installed, it generally isnt
[17:08] <mike1504> but breifly it was access denied read-only file system
[17:08] <mike1504> I will pause now for questions
[17:08] <lanoxx_> how can i just retrieve a package with apt-get without installing it?
[17:08] <LjL> lanoxx_: sudo apt-get --download-only install packagename
[17:09] <enriaf> bobertdos: I can't find the option "Storage" I am using widows XP
[17:09] <lanoxx_> it tells me its already the newest version, how can i ignore this?
[17:09]  * LjL points mike1504 to the few questions he's had already
[17:10] <LjL> lanoxx_: sudo apt-get --reinstall --download-only install packagename
[17:10] <LjL> i suppose
[17:10] <lanoxx_> where is it saved?
[17:10] <amanulla> LjL:after just downloading can we install it later?
[17:10] <amanulla> with this  sudo apt-get --download-only install packagename

[17:11] <mike1504> I,m sorry for typing on so many lines.  I have a post at the following url: http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=5203392 which will explain everything in one place

[17:22] <LjL> mike1504: install it the way you prefer, as long as it's some kind of APT frontend
[17:22] <gharz> Pici: thanks for the info
[17:22] <unop> sledge, i'm not sure about dreamweaver - but I know some WYSIWYG HTML editors have an option to change local file paths to relative URLs
[17:22] <amanulla> LjL:dependencies as well means?
[17:22] <arbir> haqe43: i have done all my googling and changed most things in about:config.. if you have tellme exactly, i will do that too!
[17:22] <unop> sledge, yea, that works
[17:23] <haqe43> arbir: but I dont remember. ask in #firefox
[17:23] <amanulla> LjL:what else we have to take care of
[17:23] <LjL> amanulla: rarely does a .deb package not require any other .deb packages (libraries, etc) in order to run. those are called dependencies. you can see a list of them when you type "apt-cache show packagename"
[17:23] <sledge> unop:  i would have to make a back arrow
[17:23] <arbir> alright haqe43 :-)
[17:23] <LjL> amanulla, if you can use the method that Ubottu proposed, you won't have to worry about the dependences yourself.
[17:24] <seao_>  I'e  got a uncommon problem that I can't  open any program using the "gksu" command
[17:24] <emorris> leon_06: works ok for me. I think you have to have flash 9. also check that you don't have any programs which are using the sound card open when you start or use it?
[17:24] <LjL> seao_: what happens when you try?
[17:24] <amanulla> LjL:Ubottu proposed means terminal?
[17:24] <LjL> ...
[17:24] <mike1504> LJL i have installed smartmontools do i need to start them from terminal?
[17:24] <LjL> !offline | amanulla, THIS
[17:25] <brutus_> Can somebody help me out with making bluetooth work on my laptop. I have gutsy running...
[17:25] <LjL> mike1504: from the terminal, run "sudo smartctl -H /dev/whatever-your-problem-drive-is-called"
[17:25] <seao_> I tried to open Synaptic Package Manager
[17:25] <Pici> !enter | seao_
[17:25] <LjL> brutus_: is the "gnome-bluetooth" package installed?
[17:26] <brutus_> LjL, Yes
[17:26] <LjL> !bluetooth > brutus_    (brutus_, see the private message from Ubotu) have you checked the tips here?
[17:27] <brutus_> LjL, I tried this before... hcitool dev still doesn't show any devices...no idea why...
[17:28] <LjL> brutus_: what is your device as reported by lsusb?
[17:29] <ross`> hey, can someone tell me the command to make an iso image out of a cd
[17:29] <ross`> !iso
[17:29] <ross`> =/
[17:29] <brutus_> Eh? This command just hangs my terminal...does it usually take time?
[17:29] <brutus_> Ljl, Eh? This command just hangs my terminal...does it usually take time?
[17:29] <mike1504> LJL it asked to specify device type with -d option.  it is coming up on my screen as /media/disk  It is a 320 gb pata drive with what ever partitions were the default for install
[17:29] <seao_> oh,I see!when I tried to open the Synaptic Package Manager,the panel said "starting administrative application" ,and then nothing happened !I ran that in the terminal ,it's said "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[17:30] <LjL> brutus_: no, it usually doesn't
[17:30] <gharz> guys, need your suggestion... in my home network, there are 12 users and majority of these users download files using P2P and torrent, how do i manage it so that they can't download files... all they can do is browse the net
[17:30] <Grey_Loki> Hey, is it possible to use a Digidesign mBox 2 USB soundcard in Linux? It appears to be recognised by the Volume Control, but I can't get any noise from it
[17:30] <ross`> gharz: try qoutas
[17:30] <ross`> gharz: or you can just change the permissions of the programs they use
[17:31] <unop> ross`,  dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/file.iso
[17:31] <LjL> mike1504: have you used sudo?
[17:31] <seao_> !when I tried to open the Synaptic Package Manager,the panel said "starting administrative application" ,and then nothing happened !I ran that in the terminal ,it's said "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[17:31] <mike1504> yes is did use sudo
[17:31] <RediXe> !sane
[17:31] <unop> ross`, you might need to use sudo there depending and perhaps adjust block sizes to get an optimal speed
[17:31] <haqe43>  /msg ubottu
[17:31] <ross`> nop thanks
[17:31] <LjL> mike1504: weird, so what did you specify to "-d", "ata"? is it IDE?
[17:32] <riddley> what's necessary to allow k3b to auto-convert mp3->redbook ?
[17:32] <seao_> would anyone help me ?
[17:32] <FFEMTcJ> LjL: i found the packages im looking for in intrepid universe.. how can i upgrade to those?
[17:32] <ross`> can i just do dd /media/cdrom /location/of/iso.iso?
[17:32] <LjL> FFEMTcJ: you can't, unless you install intrepid (which is not out yet, so installing it might give you small or very big problems)
[17:32] <genii> ross`: No
[17:32] <mike1504> LJL it is an ide drive I am back at prompt  I did no further until instructed thanks
[17:32] <LjL> FFEMTcJ: if you can wait until the 30th of this month, intrepid should be out then
[17:32] <seao_> !when I tried to open the Synaptic Package Manager,the panel said "starting administrative application" ,and then nothing happened !I ran that in the terminal ,it's said "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[17:32] <gharz> ross`: my problem is that we are all connected to a router directly. but i'm planning to use a server
[17:33] <LjL> mike1504: try "sudo smartctl -d ata /dev/whatever"
[17:33] <amanulla> LjL:after generating package download script can i install it on any system who wont of internet connection even my system?
[17:33] <LjL> mike1504: try "sudo smartctl -d ata -H /dev/whatever"
[17:33] <emorris> seao_: try sudo apt-get --reinstall install synaptic
[17:33] <FFEMTcJ> LjL: oh.. uggh. its not in the hardy backports.. only in intrepid
[17:33] <gharz> i've installed one distro and use it as my server but the thing is limewire keeps still connecting.
[17:33] <LjL> FFEMTcJ: you can request a backport
[17:33] <noodlesgc> seao_ or do sudo dpkfg-reconfigure synaptic
[17:34] <LjL> seao_: and while you're waiting, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:34] <FFEMTcJ> LjL: any idea how long that'd take to happen?
[17:34] <LjL> FFEMTcJ: it might never happen, if the backports team decides the package is too complicated to backport
[17:34] <FFEMTcJ> ty
[17:34] <LjL> FFEMTcJ: or it might happen very quickly, if it's trivial
[17:34] <mike1504> LJL  I must take a short break be back in 15 min thanks
[17:35] <noodlesgc> FFEMTcJ why not just wait till the end of the month for intrepid final?
[17:35] <[T]ank> I am trying to configure my nvidia driver... and am getting this error: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[17:35] <[T]ank> i have run nvidia-xconfig and restarted. no change.
[17:35] <ross`> thanks not working
[17:35] <[T]ank> where can i go from here?
[17:35] <ross`> unop not working
[17:35] <LjL> [T]ank: have you run it with sudo?
[17:35] <[T]ank> yes
[17:36] <atlef> [T]ank: have you tried nvidia-settings?
[17:36] <ross`> unop sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom/ of=/root/osolaris.iso
[17:36] <ross`> unop not working
[17:36] <LjL> [T]ank: it's possibly that, currently, xorg.conf doesn't really contain much... pastebin it
[17:36] <Datenshi33> Hi there
[17:36] <[T]ank> atlef: that is what is producing the error i pasted
[17:36] <unop> ross`, not working means what exactly?
[17:37] <null_byte> when i try to install hardy heron it says when copying files something about read-only harddisk :|
[17:37] <null_byte> why?
[17:37] <LjL> ross`: why are you dd'ing to root's home? :o
[17:37] <ross`> dd: opening `/dev/cdrom/': Not a directory
[17:37] <genii> ross`: dd will just make the cursor sit there and blink until it's finished
[17:37] <LjL> ross`: /dev/cdrom
[17:37] <amanulla> LjL:after generating package download script can i install it on any system who wont of internet connection even my system?
[17:37] <ross`> oh ok
[17:37] <ross`> that wokred
[17:37] <ross`> thanks :)
[17:37] <LjL> amanulla: yes, as long as it's a Linux system with wget. if it's not a Linux system, you need at least wget installed
[17:38] <atlef> [T]ank: sorry, this is a busy channel. i try to keep up
[17:38] <[T]ank> here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1218163
[17:38] <LjL> amanulla: otherwise, just open the script and read the list of URLs in it and download them manually
[17:38] <hoonteke> apache question: where do I set what character delimits a userdir?  The canonical example of what I mean I suppose would be the tilde, as in "example.com/~kevin/"
[17:38] <LjL> [T]ank: the nvidia driver *is* enabled in xorg.conf
[17:39] <[T]ank> LjL: thats what i want isnt it?
[17:39] <LjL> [T]ank: it is, but then you don't want to get an error
[17:39] <turtle_> are there any roms for znes?
[17:39] <LjL> [T]ank: anyway you're still using the driver from nvidia.com?
[17:39] <deathtech> Heya guys! All of a sudden, when i try and mount an external , or any other drive for that matter , i get the error  : error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied , anyone ever see this  ? im running 8.04 Ubuntu
[17:40] <[T]ank> i have removed the driver and have since run nvidia-xconfig
[17:40] <atlef> [T]ank: have you tried envy-ng?
[17:41] <LjL> turtle_: i think it comes with a sample ROM in /usr/share/doc/zsnes/examples/debian.smc.gz
[17:41] <turtle_> [T}ank: toy might need to add a few lines to xconfig or repository, i can remember which one
[17:41] <kusanagi_> hey
[17:41] <LjL> [T]ank: do you have "nvidia-glx" or "nvidia-glx-new" installed?
[17:42] <[T]ank> nvidia-glx-new is installed... checking the other
[17:42] <LjL> [T]ank: type "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx-new"
[17:43] <amorphous_> is there a way to restart a printer from consul? there is nobody there to restart it/power it down :(
[17:43] <kusanagi_> I just upgrade to 8.10 and Ive never reported a bug...  When I upgraded it gave me some general error during the download of packages and didnt upgrade... It was because of the lack of empty space... I solved the problem but it didnt told me during the process what was the cause of it... is it considered a bug?
[17:44] <jamesish> kusanagi_: meaningful dialogue boxes are considered necessary, I believe. I'd report it.
[17:44] <LjL> amorphous_: some printers can be soft-powered off, and sometimes even on, which printer is that?
[17:44] <danbh_intrepid> kusanagi_: were you using update-manager?
[17:44] <kusanagi_> yep
[17:44] <danbh_intrepid> yeah, report it
[17:44] <kusanagi_> as a bug?
[17:45] <kusanagi_>  in launchpad?
[17:45] <deathtech> Heya guys! All of a sudden, when i try and mount an external , or any other drive for that matter , i get the error  : error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied , anyone ever see this  ? im running 8.04 Ubuntu
[17:45] <amanulla> LjL:ohh as i saved i got this when i opened #!/bin/sh
[17:45] <amorphous_> LjL, sorry - bit slow on the 'including required information' - it's an HP P1005
[17:45] <danbh_intrepid> !bug | kusanagi_
[17:45] <LjL> amanulla: did you *select* any packages for download before saving?
[17:45] <kusanagi_> thanks
[17:45] <amanulla> LjL:what does it mean
[17:46] <LjL> amanulla: it means that if you don't tell Synaptic *which* packages you want downloaded, it can't know.
[17:46] <amanulla> LjL:do i need to mark it for installation
[17:47] <amanulla> LjL:ok]
[17:48] <kusanagi_> and the other "suggestion"... It took about 2 hours to download the packages and about 1 and a half to install them... It was very annoying because every 5 minutes it promted me if i wanted to keep my configuration files or to rewrite them... the thing is... the whole proccess froze behind... I couldnt leave it unnatended... I had to check every 10 mins or so to see what was going on... cant it just keep updating and promt me for every
[17:48] <kusanagi_> thing at the end?
[17:49] <brincade> hi
[17:49] <faria> hello
[17:49] <faria> guys
[17:49] <LjL> amorphous_: there is a bug report about soft-powering HP printers at https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/155965 - you might find a few tips there (perhaps you can just go to http://localhost:631 and tell the printer to power off), but i have to go now, and anyway i can't guarantee that even if you can power it off, you can also power it ON again ;)
[17:49] <_haywire_> cya LjL
[17:49] <faria> plz help
[17:49] <kusanagi_> is it too hard or its meaningful to post it as a bug?

[17:54] <_Ratchet> My wireless driver is found, but I am still unable to get wireless internet
[17:54] <_Ratchet> Any help?
[17:54] <jim_p> LinuxGuyMarshall: do an lspci and find the wireless afapter in there
[17:54] <LjL> georgeaf: dpkg -l | grep "^ii" | awk ' { print $ 2 } ' | xargs -n 10 sudo apt-get --reinstall --download-only install
[17:54] <jim_p> _Ratchet: any more info... like lspci ?

[17:54] <LjL> amanulla: it means that

[17:55] <amorphous_> ok - another angle... if i shut down the usb deamons on a machine, then restart them, will that give the same result as disconecting & reconnecting the printer?
[17:55] <georgeaf> LjL: what will that do  ?
[17:55] <haqe43> _Ratchet: have you set up encryption properly?
[17:55] <jim_p> deathtech: try restarting dbus or hall or both    sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart     sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart

[17:56] <LjL> georgeaf: "dpkg -l" will list all the packages you have or have had installed
[17:56] <venome> hi, once again i've got a decent problem: all the manuals to pulsaudio say I should add 'default-sample-channels = 6' to my /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ... but when I added it, then pulsaudio says that the string is an unknown lvalue ... is there any other way?
[17:56] <brincade> I'm running VirtualBox in UBuntu, but it do not capture the mouse, anybody knows how to solve it?
[17:56] <LjL> georgeaf: grep "^ii" will select only the ones that actually are installed
[17:56] <[T]ank> LjL: so... i did the reinstall and rebooted... same issue
[17:56] <sfears> i managed to hose my home folder.. is there an easy way to recreate all the .config files??
[17:56] <LjL> georgeaf: awk ' { print $2 } ' will select the package names (the second argument of the stuff that's output)
[17:56] <atlef> brincade: click in the virtual window
[17:56] <_Ratchet> haqe43, i don't know??
[17:57] <jim_p> brincade: you must install vbox additions on the guest os
[17:57] <LjL> georgeaf: xargs is a command to use stuff's output as parameters for a command (in this case, the stuff is all your installed packages)
[17:57] <atlef> brincade: and use left ctrl to release it
[17:57] <brincade> hum
[17:57] <brincade> i have used right control, but mouse is not captured
[17:57] <_Ratchet> haqe43, I'm like totally new to ubuntu and don't know hardy anything. I got some help and found my bcmwl5 broadcom driver though, and don't know the next step
[17:57] <LjL> georgeaf: and apt-get --reinstall --download-only install will download packages into /var/cache without installing them
[17:57] <brincade> [18:57] <jim_p> brincade: you must install vbox additions on the guest os <--- i will try it
[17:57] <eolo999> hi, which is the default password for the administrator when i just install ubuntu
[17:57] <eolo999> ?
[17:57] <atlef> brincade: have you clicked in the virtual os
[17:57] <brincade> yes atlef
[17:58] <_Ratchet> haqe43, I tried setting up my network with the settings, and still didn't work, and tried roaming... no work
[17:58] <jim_p> eolo999: none! the root account is disabled
[17:58] <[Solars]> eolo999 you don't log in as root
[17:58] <sfears> if i use the live cd to reformat the home folder will it force it to reassocite all the .config folders?
[17:58] <georgeaf> LjL: what i meant is i want to MAKE them again, not download them. Because I don't have a very good connection here. I used to. Will dpkg-repackage work ?
[17:58] <[Solars]> eolo999 to run things as root you use the sudo command
[17:58] <atlef> eolo999: it is the password you gave when you installed ubuntu
[17:58] <georgeaf> LjL: google it
[17:58] <Pici> !root > eolo999
[17:59] <amanulla> !root

[18:01] <haqe43> _Ratchet: You need to use ndiswrapper for that
[18:01] <haqe43> !ndiswrapper | _Ratchet
[18:01] <socal> [T]ank, were you having the resolution problem with the new driver?
[18:02] <faria> infact i have laptop and i buy a dvice with sim it called usb flash modem so i want to use my laptop from anywhere with the device i said above
[18:02] <deathtech> jim_p: Nogo, still wont let me access it
[18:02] <Pici> l3d: Because zenity would display stuff to your xorg session. Crontab has no knowledge of your $DISPLAY
[18:03] <ksbalaji> raj are you here?
[18:03] <_Ratchet> haqe43, I will write everything you tell me down, I have to go onto ubuntu and do it since i only have one computer
[18:03] <[T]ank> jim_p: when i enable the driver and try to use the nvidia-settings, it gives me an error that I am not using the nvidia driver and that I should run nvidia-xconfig and restart. i do, but the issue persists.

[18:03] <_Ratchet> haqe43,  like i said, i'm new
[18:03] <brincade> jim_p: i was using the VirtualBox in other PC with the same guest, and the mouse run fine

[18:04] <jim_p> deathtech: i am 99% sure that this is it
[18:04] <Monkey_arma> haqe43 can you link to it for him please, he is very new
[18:04] <Pici> l3d: Youd need to set $DISPLAY= to whatever it is normally inside of xorg.
[18:04] <Pici> l3d: echo $DISPLAY should tell you

[18:05] <kusanagi_> Can you tell me if this is a bug and have to be reported as that?I just upgraded to 8.04 to 8.10... It took about 2 hours to download the packages and about 1 and a half to install them... It was very annoying because every 5 minutes it promted me if i wanted to keep my configuration files or to rewrite them... the thing is... the whole proccess froze behind... I couldnt leave it unnatended... I had to check every 10 mins or so to see
[18:05] <kusanagi_> what was going on... cant it just keep updating and promt me for everything at the end?
[18:05] <[T]ank> socal: the nvidia-settings is where I do this usually. had no problem before i tried to upgrade the driver :-(
[18:05] <deathtech> since im remoted into my nix machine however, i wont be able to drop back into linux as i cant modify the bootloader from within windows, that i know of, anyone have any idea if that can be done ? would be nice to remotely be able to control which OS grub picks at boot
[18:05] <soundd> hi, my sound isnt working, can someone help ?
[18:06] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: either with samba or nfs, depends on the other pcs on your network and their os
[18:06] <Novell> hi, does the 2.6.27-4-generic kernel include the patch to make the NVM read-only on e1000 cards ? and why doesn't my ethernet card on my X61s work with that kernel ?
[18:06] <mike1504> LJL are you still here? I'm back
[18:06] <jim_p> Novell: the 2.6.27 is on ibex, so ask on #ubuntu+1
[18:06] <gonzaloaf_laptop> jim_p, samba
[18:06] <froosch> soundd: i may sing real loud if it helps :/
[18:06] <brincade> Does exist any way to make applications do not control the mouse?
[18:06] <Novell> jim_p: ok
[18:07] <[T]ank> http://pastebin.ca/1218184 is my  xorg.conf
[18:07] <RediXe> Trying to get a scanner working - lsusb show's it but it's not under /proc/bus/usb/###/###     /proc/bus/usb/ is empty
[18:07] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: let me find a tutorial...
[18:07] <patholio> anyone know how to tell GRUB which partition to look for the menu.lst?
[18:07] <faria> infact i have laptop and i buy a dvice with sim it called usb flash modem so i want to use my laptop from anywhere with the device i said above
[18:07] <socal> [T]ank, I would just grab the driver from Nvidia and install that instead. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
[18:07] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: and install SWAT to manage the samba from another pc
[18:07] <faria> infact i have laptop and i buy a device with sim it called usb flash modem so i want to use my laptop from anywhere with the device i said above
[18:07] <[T]ank> socal: thats what caused this whole issue
[18:07] <brincade> Does exist any way to make applications not to control the mouse?
[18:08] <soundd> froosch: it just might... seriously i'm getting tired of fixing hardware issues on each and every computer i install ubuntu on
[18:08] <venome> soundd: what's the exact problem?
[18:09] <soundd> venome, applications look as if they use sound, but i hear nothing
[18:09] <adv> i'm trying to connect to a wpa network after a fresh install and it can't connect. i'm entering the right pass
[18:09] <venome> soundd: what version and type of ubuntu do you use?
[18:10] <soundd> venome: ubuntu hardy
[18:10] <venome> soundd: have you checked system => preferences => sound ?
[18:10] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: do you have a samba.conf file?
[18:11] <soundd> venome: yes there everything seems normal
[18:11] <venome> soundd: you are most likely running pulseaudio, so try to install some gui tools for pulseaudio diagnostics
[18:11] <soundd> venome: intel ICH5
[18:11] <mnemo> how can I burn a blu-ray _data_ disk in ubuntu?
[18:11] <soundd> venome: can you elaborate? what pulseaudio tools do i need ?
[18:12] <venome> soundd: perhaps first check the volume levels
[18:12] <wolson_> hmmm
[18:12] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: the file is /etc/samba/smb.conf
[18:12] <matthias__> hi all
[18:12] <soundd> venome: i checked in alsamixer, tried every possible combination/setting, all volumes full blow
[18:12] <haqe43> _Ratchet: personally I have found it much easier to get the hardware to suit the software. If you encounter multiple problems with ndiswrapper, consider getting a card that is supprted natively by linux. There is a list here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[18:13] <venome> soundd: :) well... are your speakers online? :)
[18:13] <matthias__> could i get on my server without ssh?
[18:13] <wolson_> console?
[18:13] <wolson_> sftp?
[18:13] <matthias__> yes
[18:13] <jim_p> Matt: telnet?
[18:13] <wolson_> vnc?
[18:13] <soundd> venome: i use a minijack to connect to an amp, i use the middle (green) output, which should be line-out i guess
[18:13] <matthias__> ok
[18:13] <venome> soundd: anyway, try to install the pulseaudio device chooser and pulseaudio volume control and pulseaudio manager
[18:13] <deathtech> Im using Putty to connect to my linux box, And when i do  i use bashish themes, and i cnat seem to get putty to display the ansi prompts properly when remoted in, ive tried changing fonts, etc, but it still wont display the ansi characters properly, anyone have experience with this ?
[18:14] <matthias__> i try
[18:14] <matthias__> ...
[18:14] <wolson_> is there a way to install the Infrastructure client for EXSi in ubuntu somehow?
[18:14] <comicinker> Hi! can I use luks/cryptsetup on a laptop without breaking suspend/hibernate ?
[18:14] <venome> soundd: yep, green is the correct one
[18:14] <vlitzer> i need recomendation of some usb wireless card.. i need one that have full support
[18:14] <zer0o> openoffice
[18:14] <jim_p> wolson_: can you show me its site please?
[18:14] <vlitzer> where i could know this?
[18:14] <haqe43> vlitzer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported#Wireless USB Adapters
[18:15] <vlitzer> haqe43: thanks a lot
[18:15] <soundd> venome: padevchooser ? looks interesting, i have new hope ;)
[18:15] <wolson_> jim_p for EXSi?
[18:15] <wolson_> ah nm I found a console version
[18:15] <sfears_> does anyone know of an easy way to reinstall a destroyed home folder?
[18:15] <jim_p> wolson_: yea. its source code, download package anything. i dont know how it looks
[18:15] <venome> soundd: and perhaps pulseaudio volume meter (that should give you some info on whether or not the playback is running)
[18:16] <socal> [T]ank, what video card are you running?
[18:16] <haqe43> sfears_: what you mean destroyed?
[18:16] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: are you there?
[18:16] <wolson_> jim_p EXSi is awesome. And it's free. Google vmware and check out the link at the upper right
[18:16] <soundd> venome: it looks like its not running, it shows a speaker with a red cross through it
[18:16] <matthias__> wolson_, sorry ssh: connect to host intra.szonet.de port 22: Connection refuse so much about sftp
[18:17] <jim_p> wolson_: still no exsi
[18:17] <venome> venome: which tool and where?
[18:17] <haqe43> sfears_: sudo mkdir /home/sfears       might be what you want
[18:17] <deathtech> matthias : sftp uses port 23, not 22 correct ?
[18:17] <mikeypizano> i need serious help please, after a hibernate my CPU fan wont work propperly sometimes
[18:17] <venome> soundd: which tool and where?
[18:18] <soundd> venome: pulseaudio Volume Control
[18:18] <soundd> venome: /output devices
[18:18] <soundd> venome: oh sorry thats just the mute audio button
[18:18] <mike1504> can someone help me with a read-only file system problem which is keeping my system from starting?
[18:18] <venome> soundd: yep, that's just mute
[18:18] <csilk> accidentally selected the high contrat theme and font, changed theme back to human but how can i set the font and size back to default?
[18:19] <csilk> *contrast
[18:19] <venome> soundd: but its ok that your device is there ... is the volume high?
[18:19] <mikeypizano> if i dont get this fan working right i will need to go back to vista :(
[18:19] <matthias__> deathtech, correct
[18:19] <soundd> venome: yes full
[18:19] <venome> soundd: try running the pulseaudio device chooser
[18:19] <haqe43> mikeypizano: sounds like  a hardware problem
[18:19] <venome> soundd: it should add another icon to your taskbar
[18:19] <mikeypizano> it was working fine on vista haqe43
[18:19] <adv> the scroller in my bluetooth mouse doesn't work
[18:20] <l3d> Pici iw as wondering where i would fit in the $DISPLAY=
[18:20] <adv> what should i do?
[18:20] <soundd> soundd: yes its already running, thats where i see Volume Control, Manager, etc...
[18:20] <erUSUL> mike1504: if your system is mounting some filesystem read only is becouse it found serious errors on them so for safety it mounts them ro. Proceed with caution
[18:20] <venome> soundd: and there, open the "volume meter(playback)"
[18:20] <venome> soundd: and run some audio, check if the bars in the meter are moving
[18:20] <haqe43> mikeypizano: what doesn't sometimes work properly about it?
[18:20] <mikeypizano> after a hibernate, sometimes it wont turn on
[18:21] <soundd> venome: yes meters go
[18:21] <csilk> can someone tell me waht the default human ubuntu font sozes are.. and what the default fonts are
[18:21] <Pici> l3d: I'm not sure if you can put that before your command in crontab like you would normally, but you probably can put it into a script and then call the script from crontab
[18:21] <csilk> can someone just have a quick look for me?
[18:21] <venome> soundd: so it must be in the way your speakers are connected
[18:22] <jim_p> i quit guys
[18:22] <venome> soundd: (this means that the sound definately leaves one of the ports of your sound card)
[18:22] <jim_p> see you tomorrow
[18:22] <jakisktos> i have bluetooth and nokia 6230i, how to connect to internet via gprs? i have no internet connection right now
[18:22] <mike1504> erusul I had a problem in terminal wednesday.  it refused to allow me to chown or chmod some files.  I shut it down thinking it might resolve the problem.  The drive is fairly new and has not been hard started what should I do.  I'd like to get it up and running again.  I currently have a live cd up on the system
[18:22] <csilk> can someone tell me what the default human ubuntu font sizes are.. and what the default fonts are
[18:23] <csilk> can someone just have a quick look for me?
[18:23] <soundd> venome, i connect a headphone directly to the green output, and still absolute silence!
[18:23] <matthias__> wolson_, it doesn't success: sftp -oPort=23 ??
[18:23] <gonzaloaf_laptop> jim_p, yes
[18:23] <erUSUL> mike1504: what is the fielsystem mounting read only? the ubuntu partition ?
[18:23] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: here is the url   http://www.insomnia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=256629
[18:23] <Kenono> @csilk sans isn't it at size 10 except the windows title which is 12 and bold
[18:23] <matthias__> is there a third way to access a server without ssh/sftp?
[18:24] <haqe43> mikeypizano: no idea, sorry
[18:24] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: it is in greek, but you will undersant what it says in the code boxes
[18:24] <mikeypizano> ok haqe43
[18:24] <mike1504> I assume that.  I don't know that it is read only on the live cd  I really haven't tried writing to it that way
[18:24] <jim_p> gonzaloaf_laptop: ok?
[18:24] <csilk> Kenono, what about fixed width font?
[18:24] <venome> soundd: well, I'm out of ideas ... afaik when the meters are running ,the playback is all right
[18:25] <xmagixx> when i install a program with apt-get install, and then edit the start menu parameters, then i apt-get purge, then i have to remove the start menu my self, however when i install the program agian it doesnt make the menu item .. bug ? or how to fix this
[18:25] <soundd> venome: aah SOLVED! apparently there is yet another output, that one works :D thanks !
[18:25] <erUSUL> mike1504: then you will have to check that partition looking for errors ...
[18:25] <venome> soundd: ok :) no problem :)
[18:25] <matthias__> afk ...
[18:25] <mike1504> can you give instruction how to do so?
[18:25] <soundd> bye
[18:25] <jim_p> gone!
[18:25] <Kenono> @csilk I believe it's monospace 10
[18:26] <CoRnJuLiOx> ok, i downloaded this command-line program from an apt repo, and a frontend to go with it, but the frontend is asking me for the path to the program's executable. what default install path does apt-get use?
[18:26] <csilk> thanks Kenono . my sanity is restored, and thats also cause for a new bug report
[18:26] <Kenono> No worries csilk :)
[18:27] <cube> !xwinwrap
[18:27] <mike1504> erUSU what should I do to check for errors?  can it be done via the live cd or thru a program on start?
[18:28] <erUSUL> mike1504: run "sudo e2fsck -fnv /dev/sdxx" where you have to put the correct values for xx /dev/sda3 or whatever it is
[18:28] <cube> is it possible to get a screen saver playing for your desktop while having compiz enabled?
[18:29] <erUSUL> mike1504: that will check the filesystem but without doing nothing to it (it will not try to repair it)
[18:29] <hardcorelinux> cube, "screensaver playing"?
[18:29] <gonzaloaf_laptop> jimmy1234, yes I see... thanks
[18:29] <cube> yeah you never seen that
[18:29] <Pici> cube: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/
[18:30] <mike1504> erUSUL how can I determine the proper value for sdaxx I am up on the live cd
[18:30] <cube> pici: yeah i seen that but i am on amd64
[18:30] <erUSUL> mike1504: sudo fdisk -l
[18:30] <Pici> cube: so?
[18:30] <erUSUL> mike1504: should give a list of partitions on all the hard drives
[18:30] <cube> that file download didn't work for it
[18:30] <Kenono> Can anyone recommend a nice gnome theme, I'm looking for a change.
[18:30] <Kenono> ?*
[18:31] <Pici> cube: The download link is broken period. You'll need to find xwinwrap elsewhere.
[18:31] <csilk> Kenono,  i've never found a nice one
[18:31] <ShinobiTeno> Kenono ubuntu studio theme
[18:31] <hardcorelinux> cube, wrong architecture?
[18:31] <csilk> intrepid should come wit a few nice ones though
[18:31] <csilk> which is good news
[18:31] <Kenono> I'll check that out now
[18:31] <cube> yeah the package is i386
[18:31] <Pici> Kenono: http://www.gnome-look.org  has quite a few.
[18:31] <hardcorelinux> cube, you can try dpk --force-architecture
[18:31] <callkalpa> Anyone know the new features of intrepid ?
[18:32] <mike1504> erUSUL 1 is w95 fat ( mft i suppose) 2 is linux, and boot, 3 is extended and 5 is swap.  should i use 2 or 3?
[18:32] <nixbox> are there some utilities in ubuntu which make it easier to get the latest kernel sources and compile them?
[18:32] <Pici> cube: Check the comments on that link, someone has a version for AMD64 linked.
[18:33] <erUSUL> mike1504: paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com please
[18:33] <erUSUL> nixbox: ubuntu kernel sources or vanilla kernel sources ?
[18:33] <erUSUL> !kernel > nixbox
[18:33] <kleto> !list
[18:34] <Kenono> Hopefully it will, I'm not Human's biggest fan really
[18:34] <jamesish> faria: plug it in?

[18:34] <matthias__> hi all, is there a third way to access a server without ssh/sftp?
[18:34] <mike1504> erUSUL done
[18:34] <ltrager> the problem is that when it reads in /et* for example it replaces that w/ /etc
[18:34] <ltrager> how can I get it to keep the * in each line read?
[18:35] <erUSUL> mike1504: the url is?
[18:35] <cube> matthias: yeah http:// ;)
[18:35] <Pici> cube: Find the source and compile it yourself perhaps?
[18:35] <matthias__> cube, i don't understand
[18:35] <geirha> ltrager: put "" around it
[18:35] <mike1504> erUSUL paste.ubuntu.com/53492/
[18:35] <ltrager> geirha, in the text file?
[18:35] <cube> pici: yeah man thanks for all your input
[18:35] <hardcorelinux> matthias__, telnet?
[18:35] <geirha> ltrager: no, in the script

[18:35] <kleto> dove posso scarikare film??
[18:36] <matthias__> hardcorelinux, telnet is not installed
[18:36] <erUSUL> mike1504: is 2 so...
[18:36] <x2o> how can i install the new xorg from intrepid but not touching the rest of my system?
[18:36] <ltrager> i just tried read "line"
[18:36] <ltrager> and it still completes it
[18:36] <x2o> just xorg and dependencies
[18:36] <TSupra88> is ubuntu really a good os? or is it popular because a bunch of 14 yr olds on forums yell "ubuntu rules" and it got popular?
[18:36] <erUSUL> mike1504: run "sudo e2fsck -fnv /dev/sdb2"
[18:36] <TSupra88> I want to try it out, but not sure if I should, I already have fedora
[18:37] <ortsvorsteher> try it and you will see TSupra88
[18:37] <erUSUL> x2o: you can't
[18:37] <geirha> ltrager: when you use the variable line, put quotes around, i.e: while read line; do echo "$line"; done
[18:37] <geirha> ltrager: try that with and without the quotes around $line to see the difference
[18:37] <erUSUL> !ot | TSupra88
[18:37] <ltrager> geirha, ahh ok i see what i did

[18:38] <Professor_K> hi everybody
[18:38] <danbh_intrepid> mykool: try /topic
[18:39] <PatrickMello> Hi guys...
[18:39] <x2o> so ive got to download the packages manually? erUSUL
[18:39] <mykool> thanks
[18:39] <thomc> i'm unable to copy specifically large files from windows to my samba share, any ideas?
[18:39] <danbh_intrepid> x2o: what you are asking isnt supported here, sorry mate
[18:39] <amorphous_> I'm confused... dpkg says i have ii  libusb-0.1-4                               2:0.1.12-8                               userspace USB programming library
[18:39] <amorphous_> ii  libusb-dev                                 2:0.1.12-8                               userspace USB programming library developmen
[18:39] <amorphous_>  -- does this mean it's ok for hplip which says requirements are libusb 0.1.8 or higher.
[18:39] <x2o> mmh k
[18:40] <amorphous_> Oops...  sorry for flood
[18:40] <Professor_K> I just installed ubuntu, I tried to play some music (mp3s) it worked in totem after I installed the prorietary codecs, but it doesn't work in moc player
[18:40] <danbh_intrepid> x2o: why don't you just upgrade to intrepid?
[18:40] <Professor_K> can somebody tell me how I can make it wok in moc please?
[18:40] <x2o> to risky, just need the xorg package for my intel-videocard
[18:40] <PatrickMello> I tried to reboot my ubuntu server by ssh terminal, I received the console message, but OS no start reboot process.. anyone have any idea for this problem??
[18:41] <x2o> downgrading isnt safe
[18:41] <danbh_intrepid> x2o: I mean, you can always download the packages manually, and install them, and see what happens.  But if anything breaks, or doesn't work, people may just tell you to reinstall
[18:41] <amorphous_> I have dbus issues and i cant make much sense out of this gnome bug (which seems to be at the root of all my problems (at least I hope it is - it's taken ages to fing something that could be!)
[18:41] <erUSUL> x2o: no; not manually. many things can go wrong if you mix packages from different versions so do not do that
[18:41] <danbh_intrepid> x2o: do you have a separate /home?
[18:41] <x2o> yes
[18:42] <erUSUL> mike1504: is the check in progress ?
[18:42] <gs> hi
[18:42] <Freakin_Busy> umm... i know this is against better judgement.. but how do i log in as the root user?
[18:42] <Pici> !root | Freakin_Busy
[18:42] <amorphous_> Could anyone help me with dbus issues - perhaps just how to stop it and start it
[18:42] <amorphous_> in short
[18:42] <x2o> how safe is intrepid? do you use it for everyday work?
[18:42] <gs> I've just updated to ubuntu 8.1
[18:42] <danbh_intrepid> x2o: so, unless you are running LAMP, you don't have much to loose if you upgrade
[18:42] <TSupra88> Freakin_Busy, just go to administration in the menu panel
[18:42] <Kenono> sudo passwd allow you to create roots password
[18:42] <amorphous_> how do i find out if this applies to me?
[18:42] <Pici> Kenono: Please do not suggest that here.
[18:42] <TSupra88> then login window, and check "allow root login" or something like that
[18:42] <Pici> !noroot | Kenono
[18:42] <x2o> what ist LAMP
[18:42] <gs> but i'm still as unlucky concerning compiz
[18:42] <Kenono> allows*

[18:46] <Pici> Freakin_Busy: Its possible, but we do not reccomend or support it.
[18:47] <geirha> thomc: I think there's an issue with copying to fat32 with samba, with a limit of 2GB per file
[18:47] <bahaa2008> the problem is i instlled ubuntu as wopy
[18:47] <Freakin_Busy> Pici,  yea... well my support comes in the form of a live cd install
[18:47] <Firebirdy> geirha: isn't it 4 GB?
[18:47] <thomc> geirha: these are only 700mb files
[18:47] <geirha> thomc: could you try sharing an ext3 folder and see if you get to copy a large file to it?

[18:50] <geirha> thomc: Well, FAT32 should handle up to 2TB files IIRC, so it sounds like a bug in samba. If you have the time, it would be nice if you reported that as a bug at launchapd
[18:51] <geirha> thomc: launchpad I mean
[18:52] <gharz> :(
[18:52] <thomc> geirha: ok thanks - google search throws up others with a similar problem, but if there's not a solution to be found, i'll report
[18:52] <erUSUL> geirha: fat32 has a filesize limit og (4GB -1) you may have confusez filesize with filesystem size

[18:59] <mike1504> erUSUL do I need to install something to have access to e2fsk from the live cd?
[19:00] <erUSUL> mike1504: e2fsprogs is the package name
[19:00] <mike1504> erUSUL I will add
[19:01] <fe> for configuring my mouse does it make a difference if i ctrl-alt-bkspace or restart?
[19:01] <geirha> Radit: I think I've seen a bug on that on launchpad. You can do « sudo adduser username www-data » in a terminal to add username to that group though.
[19:02] <mike1504> erUSUL it is already installed, but i am doing reinstall and will try again

[19:07] <smokeytheman> uh
[19:07] <smokeytheman> is there a help channel?
[19:07] <break-free> this would be it
[19:07] <badfish> this is the ubuntu help channel

[19:07] <Igramul> Hi, how can I list the files of an installed package with the apt-toolset?
[19:08] <geirha> zimbres: export sets variables in the current shell, and the current shell inside a script, is the shell spawned to run that script ... so you can't use export in a script and expect it to set variables in the parent shell.
[19:08] <smokeytheman> how do i change the fact that when i move my cursor out of the window the foucus changes windows

[19:10] <bahaa2008> How to repartion root partion in Wubi installtion knowing that i removed windows files :(
[19:10] <geirha> Radit: Does « grep www-data: /etc/group » show your username?
[19:10] <zimbres> geirha, What file do i have to change in order to export variables automatically during boot?

[19:13] <erUSUL> that command*
[19:13] <geirha> J_P: Try asking in that in #ubuntu+1

[19:20] <jerbear> is there a way to specify in apt's sources.list that you only want to get certain packages from a repo?
[19:20] <rroblak> Hi all
[19:20] <LjL> jerbear: no
[19:20] <rroblak> I was just notified by my server host that my servers are using a ton of bandwidth
[19:20] <LjL> jerbear: why would you do that anyway?
[19:20] <hardcorelinux> amanulla, ok just take each tar.gz, unpack it(tar -zxvf) read instructions and proceed
[19:20] <geirha> amanulla: You should check if the packages are in the repositories first

[19:22] <LjL> amanulla: when Ubottu tells you not to flood, you're meant to follow his advice
[19:22] <geirha> jerbear: You can use « aptitude download package » to download the deb without installing

[19:22] <clearscreen> Hi, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg complains about "xserver-xorg/config/display/modes" not being set.. anyone able to point me in the right direction? it results in not being able to create a proper xorg.conf file which makes X unable to be started
[19:22] <LjL> jerbear: true, anyway the problem is that repository also contains some other packages that you *have* installed and want to keep using from another repository?

[19:25] <smokeytheman> when i try to tab to External Drive its not there
[19:25] <smokeytheman> so its it located somewhere else?
[19:25] <AlabamaHit> kane77: I'm usering 64 bit.....
[19:25] <hardcorelinux> smokeytheman, do a 'mount' and see what is mounted
[19:26] <smokeytheman> im trying to mount it
[19:26] <geirha> smokeytheman: Put "" around the mountpoint so the space gets preserved ... «  mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 "/media/External Drive" »
[19:26] <kane77> AlabamaHit, me too. I meant why software authors are neglecting it.. And now I mean google and their GWT, it just doesn't work with 64-bit JVM :(
[19:27] <AlabamaHit> oh....
[19:27] <geirha> smokeytheman: and the directory you want to mount to must exist
[19:27] <usuario_> joao
[19:28] <smokeytheman> it does not exist but thats what it is named in the error message
[19:29] <hardcorelinux> smokeytheman, keep it simple - sudo mkdir /media/edisk; mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/edisk -o force

[19:31] <Basem> can i install ubuntu on 2.5 GB?
[19:32] <AlabamaHit> Does installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras make it where I can play my DVDs?
[19:32] <geirha> [Solaris]: or make it executable via nautilus or with « chmod +x the-script-name » and run it with « ./the-script-name » (or double click it in nautilus)
[19:32] <mgolisch> Basem: i guess you can, but no idea if the default gnome installation will fit into that

[19:37] <irated> but from what someone else was telling me
[19:38] <irated> for cgi scripts
[19:38] <geirha> irated: no, if a user wants to change password, he needs to know the current password ...
[19:38] <irated> it uses nobody

[19:38] <Prose> anyone way to bind a keyboard shortcut to a script besuides xbing-conf?
[19:39] <geirha> irated: and since there isn't a password on nobody allready, it's impossible for user nobody to change password
[19:39] <Rob125> Okay, strange issue. gedit doesn't run (ps aux shows it there, but no windows appear). I get sys:1: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed as an error when I try to run from terminal.
[19:39] <ompaul> Prose, consider System Preferences Keyboard shortcuts

[19:44] <Pretto> nate_, i think you have  the  solution in  your description of the error
[19:44] <Rob125> Prose: you can do it in gconf-editor, yeah; there's a way to map key shortcuts to programs, so if you make your script a+x it should work.

[19:45] <Prose> ompaul, Rob125 I'll take a look at gconf-editor then
[19:45] <DSpair> Dear GOD I hate Windows.
[19:45] <nate_> yeah, winblows does suck :)
[19:45] <Prose> DSpair: you dont have a whole family being addicted to it
[19:45] <nate_> haha
[19:46] <Rob125> You can at least say that Windows breaks predictably.
[19:46] <ompaul> that is offtopic please leave it at the door, this is a useful place :) it is free of that
[19:46] <DSpair> Our terminal servers are "forgetting" their computer names and re-registering in DNS with the wrong host names!!!
[19:46] <Cheeky> where is my desktop images folder?>
[19:46] <ompaul> !windows
[19:46] <sweetgum1> how can i set the root password from terminal now that i've logged in with sudo su?
[19:46] <nate_> well nobody would help me with my other problem :/
[19:46] <ompaul> !root | sweetgum1
[19:46] <DSpair> ompaul, Been there, wasted that time. Useless morons. I just came here to relax for a while.
[19:47] <ompaul> sweetgum1, that page will tell you what you want to know
[19:47] <ompaul> DSpair, it is however offtopic for here ;-)
[19:47] <histo> Cheeky: What do you mean where your wallpaper is stored?
[19:47] <sweetgum1> ompaul: it recommends i ask, i want to modify my grub menu.lst file so i can boot a new kernel.bin file, how can i do this?
[19:47] <DSpair> ompaul, I was just venting for a second. It is not my intent to continue on that train of thought.
[19:48] <DSpair> In fact, anyone know where I can get Ubuntu packages for the new GIMP release?
[19:48] <ompaul> !timebasedreleases | DSpair
[19:48] <DSpair> ompaul, Master of stating the obvious today, aren't we?!?!
[19:48] <histo> DSpair: you can get them from synaptic
[19:48] <liza0_> des ubuntu support interaction with APC power backup systems ?
[19:48] <DSpair> histo, No, you cannot.
[19:49] <sweetgum1> how can i modify my menu.lst without logging in as root?
[19:49] <histo> DSpair: You can download them but if you don't want to I can't help you.
[19:49] <ompaul> DSpair, I have been here since late 04 so I kind of know it
[19:49] <DSpair> I guess I'll just compile from source tonight.
[19:49] <liza0_> des=>does
[19:49] <geirha> DSpair: getdeb.net might have it
[19:49] <DSpair> geirha, I'll check. Thanks.
[19:49] <mgolisch> any experts around? i search for a way to tell initramfs to chroot into a subdirectory of the actual root filesystem
[19:49] <mgolisch> any ideas?
[19:50] <Cheeky> histo: i downloaded a new wallpaper i needto know where toput the file in so i can set it as my wallpaper .. rather than just clicking the file and making it my background
[19:50] <DSpair> ompaul, I know the feeling. I've been using some form of Debian since 1997.
[19:50] <histo> DSpair: well you could just sudo apititude download gimp
[19:50] <ompaul> sweetgum1, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:50] <histo> DSpair: and it would download the debs.
[19:50] <histo> DSpair: or there is packages.ubuntu.com
[19:50] <DSpair> histo, No, you cannot. The 2.6.0 source code is not in the repository yet.
[19:50] <hardcorelinux> mgolisch, look at real_root kernel param(just guessing here)
[19:50] <katan> hi im her
[19:50] <shepherd> thats it, windows is going back in......................................................
[19:50] <histo> DSpair: Well then you need to change your question.
[19:51] <ompaul> shepherd, see you again some time
[19:51] <shepherd> i still have ubuntu on my labtop
[19:51] <histo> DSpair: you asked where you can get the debs for gimp.  IF you want a up to date release you can try getdeb.net
[19:51] <shepherd> becuase i dont need my labtop to do useful things
[19:52] <shepherd> #chemistry
[19:53] <sidny4> Under Session Options I checked Automatically remember running... I have unchecked that but it is still opening programs that I have since then unchecked from the startup list. How do I make it forget about what it has previously saved?

[19:53] <DSpair> adv, /usr/lib/jvm
[19:54] <thomc> geirha: sorry to return to this - the files weren't 700mb, but 1.3gb and 2.2gb respectively. the 1.3gb copied successfully via samba to a fat32 volume, but not the 2.2gb (although that did copy to an ext3 share), so it would seem samba + files >2gb + fat32 ain't a good combo

[19:57] <codazoda> Hi.  Does anyone here know how to use xsendkeys?  All the docs simply say "xsendkeys a" will send "a" to X.  But, I'm trying "sleep 3; xsendkeys a" in a bash window then switching focus to an editor, and the "a" never shows up.  Do I miss understand?
[19:57] <Radit> an someone help me? i used sudo vigr, then accidentally changed sudo to sudo asfasfdsudo then pressed ctrl+z, now when i run sudo vigr, it stalls for about 5 seconds then displays these error messages: "vigr: Couldn't lock file: Interrupted system call" "vigr: /etc/group is unchanged". Then i tried to add a user with gpassword and it displayed the same error
[19:58] <Astral_Projectio> hi
[19:58] <tim167> hi i enabled the hardware acceleration for my ATI video card and now i get a blank image after reboot, how do i fix this ?
[19:58] <Astral_Projectio> can someone tell me can nm-applet work with ndiswrapper drivers?
[19:59] <codazoda> tim167: Do you mean, how do you remove the acceleration you added?
[19:59] <sotec_prod> Question: I'm running Hardy. I need to run Windows virtually so that I can use the Zune software. Drag and Drop between OS's would be really nice, but not required. What's the best Virtual program for this?
[19:59] <erUSUL> !virtualizers
[20:00] <tim167> codazoda: preferably how to make accel work, but if not how to remove yes
[20:00] <Astral_Projectio> anyone?
[20:00] <codazoda> tim167: For example, pressing ALT-F1 will get you to a text console where you could undo the damage, then reboot.
[20:00] <test> Astral_Projectio: if you think you can fly you better not try
[20:00] <tim167> codazoda: yes i am poking in xorg.conf, but not sure what to change it to
[20:01] <sotec_prod> I know my choices erUSUL, but thank you. I want the best one for a simple task. I've used VMware plenty of times. Is that the easiest setup?
[20:01] <delire> test: somehow an irony in that your nick is 'test'
[20:01] <_Guma> I just booted into LiveCD 8.10 Beta and my second card driving third monitor is not working. I see it in dmsg. But I can't enable the third display. Both cards are ATI Radion HD3650
[20:01] <erUSUL> sotec_prod: then stick with vmware if you know it
[20:01] <codazoda> tim167: OK. I have no tips for actually getting it to work.  I use nvidia.
[20:01] <_Guma> Any one has idea about how to fix this
[20:01] <Pici> _Guma: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion.
[20:01] <codazoda> No idea's on how to use xsendkeys?
[20:01] <DSpair> Astral_Projectio, Yes, nm-applet can handle ndis-wrapper drivers. Once the ndis-wrapper drivers are loaded, it appears to be a standard network adapter and all Ubuntu programs will deal with it as such.
[20:02] <DSpair> codazoda, I've tried a number of times with no luck.
[20:02] <Astral_Projectio> DSpair, but it wont search my wireless networks
[20:02] <Astral_Projectio> im connected on wlan right now with ndiswrapper but nm-applet wont scan
[20:02] <codazoda> DSpair: Interesting.  Me too.  Odd that the docs just kinda seem like what I want, but nothing happens. Maybe I'll email the author and hope for the best....
[20:02] <DSpair> Astral_Projectio, Hmmm .  .  . Is your user a member of the proper groups for access to the network manager?
[20:02] <delire> Astral_Projectio: have you 'ifconfig <nic> up'?
[20:03] <hardcorelinux> Astral_Projectio, do a rmmod ndiswrapper, 'dmesg', then modprobe ndiswrapper and 'dmesg' see if any errors are popping out
[20:03] <Astral_Projectio> delire, is that equivallent to ifup?
[20:03] <kao> last time i  had download the medwifi but it doesn't work how do i do?
[20:04] <dooglus> is it safe to upgrade to the new beta thingumy?
[20:04] <AlabamaHit> Got Java and flash working on 64bit 8.10 :) works Great
[20:04] <delire> Astral_Projectio: i believe so, though i've never used either, preferring ifconfig and dhclient
[20:04] <DSpair> Astral_Projectio, Not exactly. ifup is a special wrapper script. ifconfig actually talks directly to the kernel.
[20:04] <AlabamaHit> very nice work on the Build and thanks for it :)
[20:05] <patyre> oi uillas
[20:05] <Astral_Projectio> i did ifconfig wlan0 up
