[03:06] <goldbond> i am trying to kill a directory with this command: sudo rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty django_src. but it will not die
[03:06] <nj786> does anybody know what this means for acidrip  Place your DVD in the drive and then on the right-hand-side of the window where it says "Video Source" type the path to your DVD drive. Select "Load"
[03:07] <holymoly> nj786, probably /media/cdrom or /media/dvd
[03:07] <metbsd> will live kubuntu work just as well as installed version
[03:07] <soyporti> i need drivers for an  Ati radeon 9250 video card any idea??
 Isn't locally logged in?  If you want it to interact with windows <-- i never said anything about windows? :P
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> metsdepends
[03:07] <goldbond> the directory is symbolically linked if that is a helpful clue
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> metbsd: depends
[03:08] <goldbond> how do i remove it?
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> !ati | soyporti
[03:08] <ubotu> soyporti: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:08] <persica> metbsd: it will be a lot slower loading anything from the disk, and you won't have anywhere to write files to.
[03:08] <metbsd> is there livedvd?
[03:08] <Luziphir> hmm, that's odd
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> metbsd: yes, its on Kubuntu.org
[03:09] <persica> DeFirence, I figured since you were using the mouse you'd be interacting with something in X.  You could just have a script that runs in the background and sends mouse/keyboard events to the kernel.  What happens will then depend on what's running and what is watching those events.
[03:09] <SirBob1701> anyone know how to change the directory where cedega installs game resources?
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> metbsd: i'd recommend you stick with the i386 version
[03:09] <metbsd> dvd has more stuff than cd?
[03:10] <metbsd> i only have i386 anyway
[03:10] <pike_> SirBob1701: cd .cedega or somesuch probably
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> metbsd: yeah, probably... i've never messed with the DVD vs. the Cd.
[03:10] <pike_> SirBob1701: ls -a ~ | grep -i cedega
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> metbsd: how old is your PC?
[03:10] <persica> SirBob1701: I just made my .cedega directory a symlink to elsewhere.
[03:10] <SirBob1701> persica: good idea lol
[03:11] <metbsd> it's acer aspire 3680
[03:11] <metbsd> i think it's a couple of year old
[03:11] <lumai> lumit
[03:11] <lumai> lumit
[03:11] <persica> SirBob1701: It worked just fine and allowed me to keep games on another partition that was larger.  game installs are getting huge these days.
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> metbsd: ok, just make sure you don't download the alternate-i386 iso, as thats a text based installer version of kubuntu, download the standard desktop-i386.iso
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> metbsd: http://ftp.wwc.edu/pub/mirrors/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/feisty/
[03:12] <yehweh> hello everyone!  So, I popped in a live cd and tried to mount my hdd. For some reason it refuses to ount. any ideas as to why?
[03:13] <DeFirence> i want to make a script automate the hosting process on warcraft 3, but i need to run this on a linux session that isnt logged in :S any ideas?
[03:13] <goldbond> what is the command line for restart/
[03:13] <goldbond> ?
[03:13] <persica> luzipher: I'm not sure what I can do to help you.  All the issues I've dealt with have been with setting up alsa to work once and mix properly.
[03:13] <DeFirence> shutdown -r now
[03:13] <silvertip257> goldbond:  reboot -f
[03:13] <goldbond> thanks
[03:13] <DeFirence> :O
[03:14] <silvertip257> what DeFirence?  he said reboot
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> goldbond: silvertips instructions will work, but you need to be root... sudo reboot -f
[03:14] <DeFirence> my bad, im new to linux :)
[03:14] <goldbond> thanks i idd
[03:14] <silvertip257> ah np DeFirence
[03:14] <persica> defirence: you'll need to have some sort of window session running then host the warcraft3 process.  It would be tricky to get it to start up without an X session to attach to.  If you want it to just run in the background you could use a vncserver to create a separate X session that is reached over TCP.  Then just run your script in there and it won't impact the monitor.
[03:15] <eexp> if anyone know how to decrypt pdf' password?
[03:15] <silvertip257> yes true IndyGunFreak ... goldbond ... yep gotta be root
[03:15] <zxguitar> need help, how do i find the root to the vlc player, i have ubuntu feisty
[03:15] <DeFirence> lawl persica, im so confused :(
[03:15] <DeFirence> but thanks for ur help
[03:15] <yehweh> nay help folks?
[03:15] <yehweh> any  :D
[03:16] <eexp> if anyone know how to decrypt pdf' password? or has any pdf annotate software?
[03:16] <persica> I'm saying Warcraft has to be somewhere, but if you don't want to have to be logged in at the computer all the time you can use VNC.  Look up VNC servers, or you could start another X session and run from there, e.g. on virtual terminal 8 and leave 7 free for other stuff.
[03:17] <ipx-laptop> Have there been any improvements for wow from either wine or any wow-patch? Ive been feeling a GREAT fps-boost!
[03:17] <DeFirence> hehe, im starting to understand, i know vnc :)
[03:17] <DeFirence> just 1 thing
[03:18] <DeFirence> im hoping to be able to do this in multiple sessions
[03:18] <persica> So you want a lot of warcrafts open and running your script?
[03:18] <DeFirence> that way being able to run more then 1 warcraft server
[03:18] <DeFirence> only 2 or 3
[03:18] <DeFirence> :)
[03:18] <cheeseboy> HOW I EDIT MY KEYBOARD SETTINGS?
[03:18] <cheeseboy> opps caps
[03:18] <DeFirence> basically im making war3 dedicated server :)
[03:18] <goldbond> in verbose mode i get the output "rmdir: removing directory, django", but the directory is not removed even with --ignore-...
[03:18] <goldbond> what can i do?
[03:19] <yehweh> cheeseboy: shortcuts or lang?
[03:19] <persica> Your limit is your ram.  You can run as many window sessions as you like, each being its own separate desktop and the like.  Each could have warcraft open and have a clicker-script running.
[03:19] <cheeseboy> yehweh, shortcuts
[03:19] <cheeseboy> my period key broke
[03:19] <DeFirence> ok, roughly how will i run the window sessions
[03:20] <persica> goldbond you've tried 'rm -rf' as root?  what about lsof | grep <dir> to look for processes that have files in the directory open?
[03:20] <ipx-laptop> goldbond: sudo before?
[03:20] <ShackJack> Hi all - is there a gstreamer plugin that allows playing of asx files in Totem, or can someone suggest a ackage that plays them?
[03:20] <yehweh> cheeseboy: you can do it in gconf > apps ? ,etacity
[03:20] <yehweh> metacity
[03:21] <cotyrothery> i just bought a new stick of ram and placed it in my computer how do i know if it was accepted
[03:21] <persica> defirence: something like 'startx -- :1'
[03:21] <cheeseboy> yehweh, in what?
[03:21] <languid> i have a very strange problem... my cd/dvd burner can read burned and pressed dvd's, but can't mount any kind of cd.  anyone know why this might be?  i can also boot off of a dvd, but not cd's from the bios.
[03:21] <yehweh> gconf-editor
[03:21] <DeFirence> ok, ta for ur help, ill do some research :D
[03:21] <ShackJack> cotyrothery: type cat /proc/meminfo in a terminal...
[03:21] <Littlebob> is there a live cd for ubuntu?
[03:22] <wesolek> yes littlebob
[03:22] <Littlebob> err... i cant find it.
[03:22] <cotyrothery> ShackJack: what do i look for after that
[03:22] <pike_> Littlebob: the default ubuntu cd is the livecd
[03:22] <Ravenndude`> Littlebob,  Its the normal instal disc
[03:22] <yehweh> cheeseboy: or in preferences> keyboard shortcuts
[03:22] <ShackJack> cotyrothery: just look for total memory listed...
[03:22] <mneptok> *-desktop*
[03:22] <sharkface> can someone help me configure CUPS?
[03:22] <cotyrothery> MemTotal:       767036 kB
[03:22] <nj786> does anybody know what avant is and what can you do with it?
[03:22] <sharkface> im completely lost ive been trying to get my printer working for 2 days
[03:23] <Littlebob> :) i was getting that idea from the webpage, just wanted to make sure
[03:23] <Littlebob> thanks
[03:23] <cotyrothery> ShackJack: i just bought a 512 mb of ram stick and i had a 254 mb stick of ram already
[03:23] <Warb1> Can anybody think why I might be getting floating point exceptions when trying to load Liferea and Firefox?
[03:23] <Dave132> 254??
[03:24] <yehweh> when I try to mount my hdd using a live cd I get the following message "special device dev/sda1 does not exist"
[03:24] <arnold-583> can someone help me with an NFS issue?
[03:24] <ShackJack> cotyrothery: cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
[03:24] <yehweh> !ask | arnold-583
[03:24] <ubotu> arnold-583: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:24] <cheeseboy> yehweh, how i do it gconf?
[03:24] <pike_> yehweh: what is your mount command?
[03:25] <cotyrothery> ShackJack: MemTotal:       767036 kB
[03:25] <yehweh> did you try the preferences > keyboard shortcuts first?
[03:25] <ShackJack> cotyrothery: O.kaay - is that what you were expecting?
[03:25] <cotyrothery> is that over 700 mb
[03:25] <ShackJack> cotyrothery: SOunds right to me based on what you said...
[03:25] <yehweh> pike_: sudo mount dev/sda1 /media/temp
[03:25] <soyporti> does anyone knows how to install Gyache without Automatix??
[03:25] <Pici> How would I go about downgrading a package using only the shell?
[03:25] <ShackJack> cotyrothery: Yes - 256 + 512 MB :)
[03:26] <cotyrothery> ShackJack: good because after i put in that ram when i started up the computer it made alot of beeping sounds
[03:26] <arnold-583> i am trying to get a mac running os x (client) to mount a shared folder on a pc running ubuntu (server) via nfs, and I think I have the /etc/exports file set up properly, but when I try to mount the folder, I get "mount_nfs: can't access /dir: Permission denied" on the client. Can anyone help?
[03:26] <cheeseboy> yehweh, thats not there
[03:27] <ipx-laptop> arnold-583: sudo?
[03:27] <arnold-583> ipx-laptop: nope
[03:27] <yehweh> cheeseboy: On the top Gnome-Panel ... System>preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[03:28] <ipx-laptop> arnold-583: then try it :)
[03:28] <arnold-583> ipx-laptop: sorry, i meant nope it doesn't work
[03:28] <cheeseboy> yehweh, i installed from command line its not there
[03:28] <pike_> yehweh: /dev
[03:28] <ipx-laptop> arnold-583: do you got permission to access the folder that youre mouting in?
[03:28] <goldbond> persica: thanks, it worked
[03:28] <arnold-583> ipx-laptop: hold on, i may have found something
[03:29] <yehweh> pike_: damn ... let me try
[03:29] <sharkface> can soemone help me connect to the CIFS host for getting my printer to work?
[03:29] <yehweh> pike_: that was so stupid. Thanks very much
[03:30] <pike_> ytheh np
[03:31] <arnold-583> ipx-laptop: well, the permission issue is the problem i would imagine. The owner of the shared folder is root, but is chmod'd so that anyone should be able to read/write to it
[03:31] <yehweh> pike_: one more thing. I got a msg saying gdm cat write to disk and Im sure the disk is not full. The power died out during updates. Is this a lock issue?
[03:32] <NemesisD> hi all ive got an external drive and for some reason its showing up in panel as not mounted and when i try to mount it it says its probably in a format that cannot be mounted
[03:32] <NemesisD> but its ext3...
[03:32] <yehweh> cheeseboy: type "gconf-editor"
[03:32] <pike_> yehweh: on the livecd? i dont have alot of exp with livecd's im not sure if / is writeable.. maybe someone here can offter better opinion
[03:33] <arnold-583> ipx-laptop: nevermind, i figured it out; thanks for your help
[03:33] <yehweh> pike_: nope not on the live cd, this happened on my full install. Im using the live cd to fix it, but dont know how ;)
[03:33] <ipx-laptop> arcade: ok :) great
[03:33] <ipx-laptop> gn
[03:33] <h3xis> does feisty include the the mac80211 subsystem in the stock kernel?
[03:34] <lo4fer> !dual display
[03:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dual display - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:34] <julio> Hi everybody
[03:34] <mdious> Hi julio
[03:35] <julio> does anybody know a good tutorial explaining how i can install ATI driver?
[03:35] <sn0> !ati
[03:35] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:35] <julio> thank-you all
[03:35] <sn0> julio its quite simple on fiesty, but that link explains how on any version :)
[03:35] <pike_> yehweh: id mount it then make rm -fr /media/sda1/tmp/*   but ive not seen that error before..
[03:35] <lo4fer> so what does the peanut gallery have to day about dual display in ubuntu? is it a pain in the ass or not so bad? i have a single nvidia card/ned monitor setup now that wasn't tough to configure. i would likely get one more of each if i decided to go for it.
[03:35] <RAOF> h3xis: Yes, I belive so.
[03:36] <julio> fiesty = 7.04??
[03:36] <Music_Shuffle> julio, yes
[03:36] <NemesisD> anyone? why would an external ext3 volume show up as not mounted and refuse to mount from panel?
[03:36] <h3xis> RAOF how positive are you? :p
[03:36] <Music_Shuffle> lo4fer, its not a pain
[03:36] <pike_> lo4fer: if ya got a dvi and vga in the nvidia you might have two displays already
[03:36] <Dave132> julio:http://ubuntuguide.org/
[03:36] <julio> It's the mine, how can i still on fiesty sn0?
[03:36] <newbie_> hi, ive deleted /etc/dovecot by mistake, and i tried to re-install dovecot by apt-get but still the folder doesnt created. how to restore it?
[03:36] <lo4fer> no kidding pike? this is sounding better and better already.
[03:36] <pike_> NemesisD: not enough power maybe?
[03:36] <sn0> julio see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:37] <julio> thank-you
[03:37] <sn0> np
[03:37] <yehweh> pike_: thanks, ill try that and report back
[03:37] <pike_> NemesisD: my external enclosures sometimes need the secon pigtail usb to be plugged in. sometimes not
[03:38] <RAOF> h3xis: Pretty positive.  Why, what are you after?
[03:38] <student> guys i'm really worried
[03:39] <h3xis> RAOF well i'm helping a guy install the intel 4965 native linux drivers and he has no idea what he's doing and since i don't use ubuntu i'm not sure if it includes the 80211 subsys by default since it obviously requires it
[03:39] <student> i have a G4 powermac
[03:39] <cafuego> it's okay, we all die eventually
[03:39] <student> i had ubuntu running on it
[03:39] <lo4fer> heck it looks like that's two DVI outputs in back. sweet. would there be any practical benefit to running two gpu's for dual display? i suppose i should give it a go with the one and see how things play out, huh.
[03:39] <student> had updated all the way to edgy
[03:39] <student> then tried to update to feisty but realized that there was no feisty update for powerpc.
[03:39] <student> now i'm trying to reinstall
[03:40] <h3xis> RAOF i'll see if i can get him to run modprobe mac80211 the next time i talk to him but i just wanted to check here first. if you say it's there that's good enough for me
[03:40] <student> i cant reinstall....it wont install the base system....tried dapper...badger...edgy...also tried the alternate cds
[03:40] <RAOF> h3xis: Yes, I'm pretty sure it includes that subsystem by default.  I should really try the experimental 3945 drivers sometime :)
[03:40] <student> at the base system install it gives an error that the file might be curroput
[03:40] <student> but i'm very sure that it is not
[03:40] <h3xis> RAOF why the experimental ones? i'm using ipw3945 atm
[03:40] <student> can anyone help me please?
[03:41] <shiester_miester> student, are you the one i was talking to yesterday?
[03:41] <yehweh> cheeseboy: did it work? Im going to restart my comp. If you want me to hold on for a lil bit Ill wait
[03:41] <student> shiester_miester: i dont think so
[03:41] <RAOF> h3xis: Because the experimental ones also use the softmac layer.  Also, I'm running gutsy, so I might as well try other experimental stuff :)
[03:41] <shiester_miester> oh ok...there must have been a different person named "student"
[03:41] <h3xis> RAOF oh right.
[03:41] <student> shiester_miester: can u help me?
[03:41] <shiester_miester> maybe
[03:41] <cheeseboy> yehweh, what work i missed it
[03:42] <h3xis> RAOF any advantage?
[03:42] <lmosher> I just changed my main linux partition (I copied it) from /dev/sda3 to /dev/sda1. of course grub isn't happy and won't load, what do I need to do to repair grub? I'm bottin ginto the liveCD at this time.
[03:42] <shiester_miester> RAOF, how is gutsy anyway?
[03:42] <pike_> student: run the verify disk thing at bootup. as a rule 1) burn the iso at the slowest speed  2) verify the image beforehand and md5sum the disk after. of course i never do 2)
[03:42] <Pelo> student, isn't your edgy instal working anymore ?
[03:42] <yehweh> cheeseboy: On the top Gnome-Panel ... System>preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[03:42] <fivetwentysix> How do i install Wine?
[03:42] <fivetwentysix> on 64 bit?
[03:42] <shiester_miester> pike_, thats ok, i never do either :P
[03:42] <cheeseboy> yehweh, its not there
[03:42] <Music_Shuffle> pike_, oh good, I hoped I wasn't the only one to play loose with that rule :P
[03:42] <cheeseboy> i installed from scratch
[03:43] <yehweh> cheeseboy: ok, open gconf-editor
[03:43] <shiester_miester> if it burned wrong, you'll find out soon enough anyway :P
[03:43] <Pelo> fivetwentysix, in www.winehq.org   check the download section , the ubuntu page,  there is a link for the 64 bit versions on the page
[03:43] <student> pike_: i verified the disk at bootup and it doesnt verify it...it says somethign is wrong...i cant remember what...but i used those discs earlier...i even burned those discs on a mac...and one of those discs was an orginal badger disc
[03:43] <cheeseboy> yehweh, then what?
[03:43] <student> pike_: can you tell me how i can burn a ubuntu powerpc cd on a PC properly and check if it is fine?
[03:43] <yehweh> cheeseboy: wait a sec, do you want to add stuff to your menus?
[03:44] <cheeseboy> no
[03:44] <shiester_miester> student, you can check it using a little program called "fsum"
[03:44] <cheeseboy> i just want a period key
[03:44] <pike_> student: same process really. i dont have any powerpc specific exp
[03:44] <pike_> are macs still hfs?
[03:44] <student> shiester_miester: right now i'm on a dell PC....i know it sounds stupid but can you walk me through the burning the cd and checking process please?
[03:44] <pike_> lol nm
[03:44] <yehweh> cheeseboy: ok then, after that click on apps>metacity
[03:44] <RAOF> h3xis: No, not really.  Just experimental, which translates to kinda cool :)
[03:45] <cheeseboy> yehweh, ok
[03:45] <h3xis> RAOF ah right
[03:45] <compuniversal> I NEED HELP WITH ATI RADEON 9250 DRIVERS
[03:45] <shadowarts> does anyone know why the 'madwifi' driver is considered restricted?
[03:45] <student> pike_: i cant remember the last time i burned an ISO image on a cd before i had ubuntu...it was so much easier on ubuntu...can someone please help me walkthough burning one and checking if it is alright?
[03:45] <h3xis> RAOF as long as theyre stable, allow monitor mode, i'm fine
[03:45] <yehweh> in keybinding command type in the action/script or app name you want
[03:45] <shadowarts> the code seems to be licesensed under the BSD or at your option the GPL
[03:45] <lmosher> Grub gives error 22 after I moved a partition. How do I repair?
[03:46] <RAOF> shiester_miester: Pretty good.  New, super-eyecandy compiz, gnome 2.19 includes some cool stuff (like being able to change the master key on the gnome-keyring).
[03:46] <pike_> student: on windows?
[03:46] <yehweh> cheeseboy: in keybinding command type in the action/script or app name you want
[03:46] <pike_> student: or mac?
[03:46] <mdious> student:  can you just 'right click' and select burn...don't remember exactly but I think if you drag the iso onto a blank cd it comes up saying that this is an iso do you want to etc etc...sorry if this is wrong
[03:46] <student> pike_: on windows..
[03:46] <cheeseboy> yehweh, keybindinf?
[03:46] <RAOF> shadowarts: They're probable restricted in the same way the the ipw3945 drivers are restricted: the code is free, but you need a non-free binary firmware blob to actually do anything with them.
[03:46] <cheeseboy> yehweh, keybinding* its not there?
[03:46] <NemesisD> pike_, ok so this drive has sufficient power
[03:46] <NemesisD> pike_, what else should i try now
[03:47] <yehweh> cheeseboy: its keybinding_command
[03:47] <cheeseboy> yehweh, theres nothing about key in there
[03:47] <shadowarts> RAOF, does ubuntu package the firmware with the distro then?
[03:47] <nickrud> lmosher, you boot into a live cd, mount the new partition rw, chroot into it, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to the new partition, then run grub-install
[03:48] <pike_> student: id get one of those burner programs from downloads.com i guess. its been so long im not sure of that site anymore but any of em aught to do. the md5sum thing isnt a big deal but make sure you burn at slowest speed
[03:48] <pike_> NemesisD: you unplug replug it and dmesg|tail  says sda or sdb or whatever?
[03:49] <lmosher> nickrud, thanks
[03:49] <nadilson> oi
[03:49] <nadilson> boa note
[03:49] <fivetwentysix> Holy crap this is hillarious
[03:49] <nadilson> boa noite
[03:49] <nadilson> alguem ai?
[03:49] <fivetwentysix> I'm running windows applications in wine lol
[03:49] <yehweh> cheeseboy: are you in metacity?
[03:50] <nickrud> lmosher, be sure you're editing the menu.lst from inside the chroot, and run grub-install inside the chroot
[03:50] <NemesisD> pike_, im helping someone do this over the phone and he just hung up because hes going to try some things, ill have him try that when those attempts fail
[03:50] <lmosher> nickrud, ok thanks :0
[03:52] <PanzerMKZ> I would like to put DMA on my cd roms. But when I go to /etc/hdparm.conf all there is a commented out sample file
[03:53] <Nutubuntu> Hello Flannel, wols_ - Got the new (RAID1) box working, that I was having so much trouble with. Wanted to say thanks
[03:53] <PanzerMKZ> should this be so or should I have settings for the current two roms?
[03:54] <Kpr> Hey. I'm having a problem with my sound. I had it earlier, now it's gone again. My sound IS on alsa, I checked alsamixer. Nothing's muted, I think. Any ideas, anyone? (Using Kubuntu, btw)
[03:54] <nickrud> PanzerMKZ, what does hdparm -i /dev/<cdrom> say?
[03:54] <PanzerMKZ> there are a few settings
[03:55] <PanzerMKZ> at this moment I am not in front of that machine
[03:55] <cheeseboy> yehweh, yes
[03:55] <lmosher> nickrud, I've got my liveCD running and the disk mounted on /mnt/sda1, but how does chroot work to edit grub.conf?
[03:55] <lamalex> Kpr: did you check speaker connections
[03:55] <yehweh> cheeseboy: what do you see in the leftahnd side pane?
[03:56] <yehweh> cheeseboy: left hand
[03:56] <Kpr> Yes
[03:56] <bulmer> whats with the Master versus "Cable Select" jumper on  a hard drive, I installed ubuntu when it was a master and it booted okay, just for kicks tried it as cable select since it is the only drive, but it fails to boot..what gives?
[03:56] <Kpr> Nothing wrong with speakers
[03:56] <cheeseboy> yehweh, under metacity?
[03:56] <intelikey> can anyone illuminate this for me ?    "ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/root is mounted."  ???    (full startup text @ http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/37562 )
[03:56] <sharkface> can someone help me with my printer
[03:56] <yehweh> cheeseboy: yep
[03:56] <nickrud> PanzerMKZ, the asterisk tells you what mode you're in.  If it's not already in dma mode, you can add edit that file to enable dma. There're samples in there
[03:56] <PanzerMKZ> yea that is what I was wondering
[03:56] <cheeseboy> yehweh, general notification-dameon
[03:56] <SirBob1701> trying to install battlefield2 on cedega and it hangs on the game spy install
[03:56] <PanzerMKZ> should I just put stuff in there
[03:57] <PanzerMKZ> or should the mode that the cdrom is in be there already
[03:57] <C0_31_JKT> Hello... I am amin from Jakarta - Indonesia
[03:57] <SirBob1701> anyone have any idea/
[03:57] <nickrud> lmosher, what you'd do is open a terminal, then   do sudo chroot /path/to/partition . If you do an ls, you'll find you're working inside your hard drive ubuntu install. Then nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:57] <C0_31_JKT> I am newbie on linux
[03:57] <Nutubuntu> bulmer: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/ide/confCS-c.html
[03:58] <yehweh> cheeseboy: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[03:58] <theblackknight> C0_31_JKT, lots of us are noobs!
[03:58] <pike_> C0_31_JKT: welcome
[03:58] <PanzerMKZ> ok
[03:58] <nickrud> PanzerMKZ, no, you'd need to add it. hdparm isn't needed too often anymore by most people
[03:58] <lmosher> nickrud, Oh.. lol ok so it changes the root directory.. chroot.. hehe ok makes sense :)
[03:58] <cheeseboy> yehweh, fiesty
[03:58] <PanzerMKZ> ok I got you.
[03:58] <PanzerMKZ> thanks
[03:58] <yehweh> cheeseboy: that is weird.
[03:58] <lmosher> nickrud, and for the grub-install... is it just literally "grub-install" or do I give it parameters?
[03:59] <PanzerMKZ> I guess then it will be something like /dev/cdrom dma= on
[03:59] <PanzerMKZ> and that is it
[03:59] <cheeseboy> yehweh, i installed from command line
[03:59] <yehweh> cheeseboy: sorry buddy I dont know how to fix it
[03:59] <xanne> !xorg
[03:59] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:59] <Dekkard> how do i get gdm to start right after boot?
[04:00] <nickrud> lmosher, grub-install /dev/hda  (for me, make sure for you)
[04:00] <bulmer> Nutubuntu: have you experience such difficulties?
[04:00] <RAOF> Dekkard: It should do it already.
[04:00] <lunitus> is there an easy way to restart x while you're logged in?
[04:00] <rodrigomgm> Hi, could someone please tell me the difference between the alternate version and the Desktop version?
[04:00] <Dekkard> RAOF:  yeah.. but i switched to kdm somehow.. and now i cant get it to start without loging in to the console
[04:00] <theblackknight> rodrigomgm, alternate version is for servers i.e. 64 bit computer
[04:00] <lmosher> nickrud: Uh oh.. grub-install /dev/sda returns: Not found or not a block device... It is supposed to be mounted and im chrooted into /mnt/sda, which is where /dev/sda1 is mounted.
[04:00] <PanzerMKZ> rodrigomgm: the alt install is text based
[04:00] <bruenig> rodrigomgm, alternate version is text install, desktop version is a live cd with an optional graphical install
[04:01] <Nutubuntu> I'd like to be able to choose between KDE and Gnome - currently running K - do I simply install ubuntu-desktop or is there more that needs to be done to be able to choose a Gnome session?
[04:01] <lamalex> that's all
[04:01] <intelikey> Dekkard sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm -plow
[04:01] <lmosher> nickrud, Oh. duh. because /dev/sda only exists out of the chroot. are you sure I'm supposed to be in it? :)
[04:01] <Music_Shuffle> Nutubuntu, if you have it installed, you should be able to select which you want at the login sreen :)
[04:01] <RAOF> Dekkard: Hm.  You should be able to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and select "gdm" as your login manager, I think.  As long as it's still installed :)
[04:01] <C0_31_JKT> anyone have experience trouble when running gxine? it always restart just likethat
[04:01] <Bassetts> how can I import my private key? I lost it but it is on my launchpad
[04:01] <Nutubuntu> bulmer: no, no difficulties here. I gave you the link b/c it's a lot to explain, and hardware, really, not ubuntu
[04:01] <rodrigomgm> thanks heaps!!!!!!!!!
[04:02] <lamalex> bassetts: your private key should not be anywhere public, your public key is probably on launchpad
[04:02] <C0_31_JKT> anyone have experience trouble when running gxine? it always restart just likethat
[04:02] <RAOF> Bassetts: Your GPG private key is surely not on launchpad, right?  It'd be your public key?
[04:02] <nickrud> lmosher, yes, you need to be in it. I've done this before.
[04:02] <nickrud> lmosher, but never had that problem
[04:02] <ali1234> lmosher: you need to bind /dev/ and /proc/ inside the chroot
[04:02] <Nutubuntu> Music_Shuffle: yes, understood, and thanks - just want to be sure that installing ubuntu-desktop will get me Gnome. This is a clean Kubuntu install, and I figured if I could get this far I'd install Gnome too
[04:02] <bulmer> Nutubuntu: well thanks, a better insight is from who had experience similar difficulties
[04:02] <nickrud> ali1234, thanks
[04:02] <Frogzoo> Bassetts: if you've lost your private key, best make a new one
[04:02] <Bassetts> lamalex, RAOF; in my control panel it shows my my private key I am sure
[04:02] <lmosher> ali1234: how?
[04:02] <Music_Shuffle> Nutubuntu, yep :D
[04:02] <nickrud> been a while ;)
[04:02] <NemesisD> pike_, are you still there?
[04:02] <Nutubuntu> Music_Shuffle: t/y again
[04:03] <ali1234> lmosher: *outside* of the chroot: mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/sda/dev
[04:03] <Music_Shuffle> Anytime.  Best of luck :)
[04:03] <intelikey> can anyone illuminate this for me ?    "ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/root is mounted."  ???    (full startup text @ http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/37562 )
[04:03] <ali1234> lmosher and the same for proc
[04:03] <Nutubuntu> bulmer: sorry, then. I've had my difficulties, but master vs. cs was not one. I'd read the link ... if it was me.
[04:03] <pike_> NemesisD: yeah
[04:03] <RAOF> Bassetts: No, that'd be your public key.  If you're talking about something like https://launchpad.net/~raof/ , it's going to be the KeyID of your public key.
[04:03] <Nutubuntu> intelikey: /dev/root?
[04:03] <lamalex> bassetts: if your private key is displayed on launchpad, then you need to revoke it right away and make a new one
[04:03] <lamalex> the private key is for you only and should be kept in a safe place
[04:03] <goldbond> i am trying to symbolically link using:  sudo ln -s /home/project/.django/django /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django . and the output is ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django' to `/home/walsh/.django/django': File exists. but the link is broken
[04:04] <intelikey> Nutubuntu yeah.
[04:04] <Nutubuntu> intelikey: root isn't a disk device
[04:04] <goldbond> nm walsh and project
[04:04] <Bassetts> RAOF, at the side it list my public key, but in my control panel under Update OpenPGP keys it shows the key with a longer number
[04:04] <marltu> hello again. I have XMMS player and volume control in XMMS doesn't work
[04:04] <goldbond> they are meant to be the same
[04:04] <intelikey> Nutubuntu that's within the initrd.img      and you don't mount devices you mount file systems
[04:04] <lmosher> ali1234, nickrud: Ok better, but now it's saying "/dev/sda3: not found", which is OK, /dev/sda3 doesn't exist anymore. What did I forget to change?
[04:04] <DeFirence> how can i check how much ram a program is using?
[04:05] <pike_> DeFirence: top is the standard answer
[04:05] <Bassetts> Frogzoo, how do I get rid of my old one and make a new one?
[04:05] <Warbo> marltu: Have you tried going into the preferences and changing whether it changes PCM (wave) or master?
[04:05] <ali1234> lmosher: probably fstab?
[04:05] <bruenig> goldbond, make sure you aren't doing it backwards
[04:05] <RAOF> Bassetts: Are you talking about something like this?  http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x2F306651&op=index - because that's my *public* key (notice the "pub" at the left)
[04:05] <lmosher> ali1234: Ohhhhh yes. hah.
[04:05] <DeFirence> top?
[04:05] <marltu> Warbo, will try
[04:05] <Nutubuntu> intelikey: yes ... um, you mount fs on devices ... that is, you'd mount / on /dev/hda1, for example
[04:05] <pike_> DeFirence: open a terminal and type 'top'
[04:05] <ali1234> lmosher: or grub.conf
[04:05] <rustalot> If I have a table in HTML format (i.e. <tr> <td> , etc..), how to I convert that to a .csv?
[04:05] <DeFirence> kk, ta ;)
[04:05] <Bassetts> RAOF, ok I got confused
[04:05] <mikeypizano> hey bassetts
[04:05] <Nutubuntu> Maybe I'm just too tired to understand you. My bad :/
[04:06] <Bassetts> mikeypizano, hey
[04:06] <tyoc> Hi there people, Im trying to enable qAllowDeactivateGrabsq on xorg.conf, but Xorg.0.log still saying (WW) Ignoring unrecognized extension "qAllowDeactivateGrabsq"
[04:06] <goldbond> bruenig: the files are located at the former. is that right?
[04:06] <tyoc> (WW) Ignoring unrecognized extension "qAllowClosedownGrabsq"
[04:06] <intelikey> Nutubuntu no   first your example is backwards.  you mount the fs on /
[04:06] <lmosher> ali1234: I changed all the entries of grub.conf i.e. root hd(0,2) to root hd(0,0). Is there another place in grub.conf to change it?
[04:06] <bruenig> goldbond, right, real file then link
[04:06] <lmosher> ali1234, Also in the fstab, my entries ar all UUID=blahblahblah. Can I just change the appropriate one to /dev/sda1 from the UUID and it will be OK?
[04:06] <Nutubuntu> ./nick sdrawkcabutnubutuN
[04:06] <ali1234> lmosher: possibly a setup() line?
[04:06] <tyoc> I mean I whant to get back the mice and kb control when Im debugin an app that has grabbed the input
[04:06] <goldbond> bruenig: what else could be wrong?
[04:06] <intelikey> Nutubuntu the initrd.img by default uses /dev/root  for the root fs.
[04:06] <Nutubuntu> I think I'm too tired to think ... bbl, after some sleep mebbe :)
[04:07] <ali1234> lmosher: yes i think so, if you do it properly
[04:07] <goldbond> bruenig: when i ls the directory the link appears red on black
[04:07] <bruenig> goldbond, well you wouldn't be able to do that command without being root
[04:07] <Nutubuntu> be well intelikey; sry for confusion
[04:07] <intelikey> ok anyone else got thoughts on this ?    "ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/root is mounted."  ???    (full startup text @ http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/37562 )
[04:07] <charlie__> i need help please. I want to upgrade to the newest flash beta and it says to delete the flash plugins in /home/charlie/.mozilla/plugins, but that folder doesn't exist! how can i upgrade?
[04:08] <goldbond> bruenig: yeah i sudo. can i delete the link and try again? or does repeating the command replace it?
[04:08] <bruenig> goldbond, you would need to do ln -sf to replace
[04:08] <Warbo> charlie2: There are 2 places where Flash can be installed
[04:08] <kravlin> hey. Im working on setting up grub and trying to figure out the root line. Linux says the hard drive is hdb1. How do I change that to hd0 etc?
[04:08] <charlie2> Warbo, how do I find which one it is installed and how do I upgrade to beta?
[04:08] <Warbo> charlie2: If you installed them yourself manually then they will be in that folder
[04:09] <nickrud> kravlin, hd(1,0)  (counting from 0 for each)
[04:09] <Warbo> charlie2: If you installed the package system-wide then they will be in the folder /usr/lib
[04:09] <charlie2> Warbo, I installed a distro called "Linux Mint" which is based on Ubuntu but comes preinstalled with flash
[04:09] <intelikey> anyone ?
[04:09] <lmosher> ali1234: hmm. I did "more /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep sda3" and it finds nothing. Same with fstab, yet I still get "sda3: not found" when I run grub-install. What am I missing?
[04:09] <pike_> charlie2: .mozilla should exist if there isnt a .plugins anywhere under that id check /usr/lib/mozilla  <-- i forget actual location.
[04:09] <Warbo> charlie2: (probably /usr/lib/firefox/plugins)
[04:09] <NemesisD> pike_, we rebooted and now the usb drive isn't even auto mounting :/
[04:09] <kravlin> nickrud: i know about that. However i have two disks and i need to figure out where my windows partition is for GRUB.
[04:10] <Warbo> charlie2: First of all check if you have a package of it installed, since then removing it is easier
[04:10] <bruenig> it used to be that flashplugin was installed in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree or something like that and linked over
[04:10] <nickrud> kravlin, sudo fdisk -l
[04:10] <pike_> lmosher: you can grep sda /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:10] <charlie2> Warbo, there are two folders in /usr/lib, one is called "mozilla-firefox" and one is called "firefox" and they both have a plugins folder with the flash plugin inside, which one is the real one?
[04:10] <bruenig> charlie2, they are likely both links
[04:10] <Warbo> charlie2: Can you open up the Synaptic Package Manager? (I know Mint uses its own menu which I haven't used)
[04:10] <Tremitos> hey
[04:10] <ali1234> lmosher: grub-install tries to be clever, but it is just a pain. just install grub manually
[04:10] <kravlin> that returns info in hdb2
[04:10] <charlie2> yes, i can open synaptic package monitor, it has all the menu options ubuntu has, hold on
[04:11] <goldbond> bruenig: thanks, that worked
[04:11] <pike_> NemesisD: ive never used auto mount. my entire mount process is like 1) plug it in 2) dmesg| tail  3) depending on if sda or sdb or whatever showed up sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/directory
[04:11] <Warbo> charlie2: OK, search for "flash" in there and see which ones have a green box next to them
[04:11] <Bassetts> Launchpad wont import my key even though it is on the keyserver
[04:12] <NemesisD> pike_, do you have to specify filesys or do that -o loop thing?
[04:12] <pike_> NemesisD: that is for loopback for iso mounting and such. it depends on the file system. is it ntfs or fat or ext3 or what?
[04:12] <Kprofthreat> Having difficulties with my sound on Kubuntu. I just did a fresh install to Feisty and I get no sound. Nothing's muted. Checked alsamixer already and Kmix is set with ALSA. I AM using a soundcard, not onboard, if that makes a difference.
[04:13] <charlie2> warbo, i searched for flash and these are the ones in green: flashplayer-nonfree, flashplayer-nonfree, konqueror, libswfdec0.3. should i uninstall all of those?
[04:13] <RAOF> Bassetts: But if you don't have the corresponding private key any more, that's useless, right?
[04:13] <kravlin> nickrud: It does not return where the NTFS partition is.
[04:13] <Bassetts> RAOF, I am uploading a new key
[04:13] <NemesisD> pike_, ext3
[04:13] <Warbo> charlie2: I would uninstall the flashplayer-nonfree (that is the Adobe one)
[04:13] <pike_> NemesisD: a regular usb stick is fat32 so a simple sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/something  will work. that will mean you need sudo to access it though
[04:14] <Warbo> charlie2: Then you should be able to install a newer one
[04:14] <pike_> NemesisD: oh then just sudo mount you dont need any options
[04:14] <charlie2> Warbo, for some reason there are two in the list with the exact same name, should  i uninstall both?
[04:14] <NemesisD> ok cool
[04:14] <nickrud> kravlin, fdisk -l should list every partition on all fixed drives; one of them should be marked as ntfs or vfat on the right
[04:14] <Warbo> charlie2: Yes
[04:14] <charlie2> Warbo, thanks alot, just got Linux Free/Ubuntu yesterday so i'm a total n00b to all this =)
[04:14] <pike_> NemesisD: bear in mind as ext3 it has permissions intact.
[04:15] <Warbo> charlie2: No prob
[04:15] <kravlin> nickrud: i started up GParted. That says its hdb1
[04:15] <charlie2> Woops i mean "Linux Mint" not "Linux Free" warbo
[04:15] <Alysum> Im getting tired of ubuntu's Xorg which starts to use more then 10% CPU after a couple of hours, have tried lots of different xorg.conf settings and different drivers for my ati R9550 any suggestions ?
[04:15] <nickrud> kravlin, then it would be hd(1,0)
[04:15] <kravlin> nickrud: so i take it its (hd1,0)
[04:15] <ali1234> lmosher: how exactly did you repartition? i mean which partitions did you move?
[04:15] <charlie2> warbo, should i click "mark for complete removal" or "mark for removal" ?
[04:15] <pike_> Alysum: xorg 7 is still pretty new.. shouldnt do that though
[04:15] <Warbo> charlie2: I'd go with just removal
[04:15] <nickrud> erm, kravlin :)
[04:16] <lmosher> ali1234: It was complicated. In short I deleted 2 partitions, copied /dev/sda3, then deleted the original and then made the new /dev/sda1 bigger. All because I wanted sda3 to the front of the disk (so I could grow it a bit)
[04:16] <Kprofthreat> Having difficulties with my sound on Kubuntu. I just did a fresh install to Feisty and I get no sound. Nothing's muted. Checked alsamixer already and Kmix is set with ALSA. I AM using a soundcard, not onboard, if that makes a difference.
[04:16] <Alysum> pike_: well I has always on my ATI OR NVIDIA card
[04:16] <kravlin> nickrud: yeah... That's what it says in my GRUB startup. But it just displays a bunch of random characters.
[04:16] <ali1234> lmosher: so did you have a separate partition for /boot or anything fancy like that?
[04:16] <charlie2> Warbo: what is the easiest way to set up the newest flash beta
[04:17] <pike_> Kprofthreat: can ya 'hohup sudo cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp' ?
[04:17] <lmosher> ali1234: nope, nothing like that. all that was linux before was /dev/sda3 as / and /dev/sda4 as swap
[04:17] <Warbo> charlie2: Can you give me a link to the webpage you were on?
[04:17] <lmosher> ali1234: sda1 and sda2 were windows. I plan to re-make them on the other side (and a bit smaller) once this is working
[04:17] <Warbo> charlie2: (which said about removing the .mozilla thing)?
[04:17] <Kprofthreat> pike_: ev/dsp: Device or resource busy
[04:17] <Kprofthreat> *Dev
[04:18] <charlie2> Warbo: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/
[04:18] <atman> how can i pass a file from the host os (ubuntu) to a client os (winxp) in vmware?
[04:18] <pike_> Kprofthreat: i just wanted you to blast static out of the speakers :)
[04:18] <NeoGeo64> TaJMoX, ?
[04:19] <charlie2> Warbo: i want to download the beta at: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html and it is a .tar.gz
[04:19] <kravlin> nickrud: The whole problem may have been that i had the ( right before the hd instead of next to the 1.
[04:19] <Kprofthreat> -.-
[04:19] <nickrud> kravlin, no, you wer right, that's what the erm was ;)
[04:19] <pike_> Kprofthreat: try the sound troubleshooting link i think it has a script too. ask crimsun if you see him hes the man on sound issues
[04:19] <pike_> !sound | Kprofthreat
[04:19] <ubotu> Kprofthreat: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:19] <Warbo> charlie2: Yeah, get the tar.gz one http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer9_update/flashplayer9_install_linux_061107.tar.gz
[04:19] <ali1234> lmosher: okay... first, in grub.conf, check for any line containing (hd0,2) and change it to (hd0,0)
[04:20] <TheCougar> any way to quickly tell if my system has bluetooth?
[04:20] <kravlin> nickrud: well shit. That means it doesn't work right.
[04:20] <lmosher> ali1234: yep did that. I also searched for "UUID" and if it matched my old /dev/sda3 I changed it to /dev/sda2
[04:20] <lmosher> errr /dev/sda1, lol
[04:20] <charlie2> then just run ./flashplayer_installer warbo?
[04:20] <ali1234> lmosher: in grub.conf?
[04:20] <lmosher> ali1234: yes
[04:21] <lmosher> ali1234: no
[04:21] <nickrud> does your grub stanza look similar to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26506/ ?
[04:21] <Warbo> charlie2: You'll need to run "sudo ./flashplayer_installer" to install it system-wide
[04:21] <lmosher> ali1234: crap. hang on :0
[04:21] <quio> ubuntu!
[04:21] <ali1234> lmosher: grub does not use /dev/sda1 etc - instead you must put (hd0,0) - *unless* it's a kernel config line
[04:21] <kravlin> nickrud: all but the save default
[04:21] <quio> #ubuntu!
[04:21] <lmosher> ali1234: yes it was the kernel config line, but where is grub.conf? I was editing menu.lst
[04:22] <ali1234> lmosher: they are the same file... actually you might not have grub.conf
[04:22] <Bdonohue> Oh. Lord.
[04:22] <ali1234> lmosher: if you do it's normally a symlink
[04:22] <nickrud> kravlin, with all this grub garbage going on, it makes me reconsider going back to lilo
[04:22] <Warbo> Anyone know why Liferea and Firefox don't start (saying floating point exception) and Epiphany crashes loads when loading pages? Only happened this past couple of hours. I've rebooted a few times since too, still happening
[04:22] <glLoadIdentity> hi all, i am using 6.10 and have a problem with my usb webcam.. actually, i want to use it as a mic(has builtin mic). i have 2 soundcards on the machine.. i am not able to record any sound from my usb mic.. any clues ?
[04:23] <kravlin> nickrud: well if i could make it work. I would.
[04:23] <lmosher> ali1234: Ok, in that case yes, i changed all sda(0,2) to sda(0,0) and I changed all "kenel /boot/vmlinuz.... root=UUID=blah" to "kernel /boot/blah... root=/dev/sda1..."
[04:23] <ctothej> what is a .so.0d file?
[04:23] <charlie2> warbo, it says to enter the installation path of the browser, should i use /usr/lib/mozilla, /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox, or /usr/lib/firefox?
[04:23] <ctothej> same as a .so?
[04:23] <devilsreject> hello all
[04:23] <Warbo> charlie2: I'd use /usr/lib/firefox
[04:24] <ali1234> lmosher: okay then, next run grub and at the prompt: root (hd0,0) <enter> setup (hd0) <enter>
[04:24] <charlie2> ok
[04:24] <Warbo> charlie2: (looks like one of them is probably just a link to the other anyway)
[04:24] <devilsreject> quick question -- i am trying to record mp3 playback with mic playback but the mp3 playback is recording way low i've played with  the diff mixers is there an easy way to fix this?>
[04:24] <kravlin> nickrud: I almost have it running. It just displays a bunch of random non-latin characters when i try to make it work.
[04:24] <jungoh> can someone help out, I just installed Feisty x86, and now my sound is not working. It was working fine on the amd64 ver. but i had trouble doing anything else. I get this error: gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open resource for writing.
[04:24] <lmosher> ali1234: ok works fine
[04:25] <lmosher> ali1234: Ok let's see if that worked. yay
[04:25] <ali1234> lmosher: then reboot
[04:25] <charlie2> ok, warbo, thanks, i just did about:plugins in firefox and it says i installed Flash 9.0 r60 beta, so it should work now (the old flash player 7 crashed constantly)
[04:25] <Warbo> charlie2: You're welcome :)
[04:25] <kravlin> nickrud: It lets me go to the menu and choose windows as an option.
[04:25] <nickrud> kravlin, I've no clue about that, really. My fear is that there's something wrong with the windows boot, especially if all else works, you're using what sudo fdisk -l says is the right partition, etc.
[04:26] <lmosher> ali1234: Ok it's rebooting. Hopefully this works
[04:26] <charlie2> eh crap. i take it flash player for linux _sucks_?
[04:26] <ali1234> lmosher: if it doesnt work, but you can get a grub prompt, then the problem is in your menu.lst
[04:26] <lmosher> ali1234: it works :)
[04:26] <kravlin> nickrud: sudo fdisk doesn't show anything. I used gpart instead
[04:26] <Warbo> charlie2: Not much more than it does for WIndows
[04:27] <charlie2> i never had problems on windows, but it crashes constantly in ubuntu/firefox on youtube =(
[04:27] <lmosher> ali1234: so far... but I get an ubutnu logo, so that means it should be doing OK. In about 10 seconds I'll know. If the fstab is OK, is there anything else strange I can expect?
[04:27] <devilsreject> my pcm outpath is set to mute how do i change this
[04:27] <incorperated> hello
[04:27] <incorperated> can someone help me with the truereality emulator
[04:27] <incorperated> i was here earlier
[04:28] <marltu> hello. I need to edit for example xorg.conf. How do I open xorg.conf with gnome graphical editor with root permissions?
[04:28] <ali1234> lmosher: if fstab is wrong, it will probably die half way through booting, and give you a single user login of something
[04:28] <marltu> without going into terminal and etc.
[04:28] <Warbo> charlie2: Well I haven't had many problems with it so I can't tell (I have got a crazy 32bit-inside-64bit setup too). It does seem to crash a bit though
[04:28] <nickrud> marltu, gksudo gedit (you'd need to go into the terminal to start it)
[04:28] <lmosher> ali1234: yeah my fstab is kinda simple now, just sda1, sda4 (swap) and cdrom, so works great
[04:28] <dawn_chorus> marltu, alt-f2: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:28] <jungoh> can someone help out, I just installed Feisty x86, and now my sound is not working. It was working fine on the amd64 ver. but i had trouble doing anything else. When I press 'Test' for my drivers in sound preferences I get this error: gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open resource for writing.
[04:29] <charlie2> everytime i'm watching a youtube video and click a link the whole browser crashes, what's up with that? it did it on the old version too
[04:29] <devilsreject> hola?
[04:29] <incorperated> can someone help me with the emulator
[04:29] <devilsreject> i dont think theres anybody in here incorperated :(
[04:29] <devilsreject> alls i see is questions :0P
[04:29] <darklard> !bot
[04:29] <Warbo> charlie2: You COULD try using Konqueror, since that runs the plugin as a seperate program, then draws the output of that program into the webpage. This means that if the plugin crashes, the browser doesn't (although I could only get Flash working in Konqueror by using Gnash, not Adobe's one, but it is possible)
[04:29] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[04:29] <marltu> can I reload xorg.conf without closing apps?
[04:29] <incorperated> ok
[04:29] <ali1234> incorperated: what's wrong with it?
[04:30] <devilsreject> nevermind these popele
[04:30] <dawn_chorus> marltu, can't.
[04:30] <devilsreject> theres people rather
[04:30] <marltu> dammit
[04:30] <marltu> ;)
[04:30] <incorperated> i have to compile it and im alittle new with doing that and i dont know how
[04:30] <marltu> ok, bye
[04:30] <lmosher> ali1234: Thanks a lot for your help, saved me a ton of time googling, or I likely would have ended up reinstalling (it's a fast install anyway :)
[04:30] <charlie2> what's gnash, a third party flash player? if i could get another flash player that would work in firefox without crashing constantly that'd be gread
[04:30] <Warbo> charlie2: Sorry, my skillz are running out in this area
[04:30] <ali1234> incorperated: first get a compiler: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:31] <devilsreject> it wont let me take the mute of pcm out in aslamixergui or gnome alsa mixer
[04:31] <devilsreject> any others i couldn't find any i just want to unmute the friggin pcm out
[04:31] <Warbo> charlie2: Yes, Gnash is a third party player. A few days ago they released a version with video support (so it won't be available as a package yet), and then there is also SWFDec which recently got video support (don't know if that version is packaged yet though)
[04:32] <PyChild> Hello, stupid question, how can I tell firefox to download media instead of opening it in the same window?
[04:32] <charlie2> Warbo, how do I check if SWFDec is packaged?
[04:32] <incorperated> after that what do i do then
[04:32] <Driven10> PyChild: right click > save target as?
[04:32] <kravlin> nickrud: So what do you know about the MBR. Is it stored on a disk to disk basis or is it stored somewhere else?
[04:32] <NeoGeo64> Why does Firefox use so much RAM?
[04:32] <NeoGeo64> its using like 90mb
[04:32] <incorperated> i installed build-essential now what do i do
[04:32] <nickrud> kravlin, first few sectors of the drive.
[04:33] <ali1234> incorperated: next install the dependencies
[04:33] <PyChild> Driven10 I mean, directly, single click, automatic download, as it does in windows
[04:33] <charlie2> Warbo, flash doesn't even work for me in konqueror, it just says you don't have the latest flash playere
[04:33] <sebastian> !es
[04:33] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:33] <Warbo> charlie2: I doubt it will be
[04:33] <incorperated> is there a command to find out which ones you need
[04:33] <lmosher> PyChild: Driven10: Well he might have it defaulting to running in a plugin. Anyway, go to tools, options, then content and then pick the media and change the option. Delete the entry to make it ask you.
[04:33] <ctothej> i cant get ffmpeg to use aac, i even built it myself with the aac option!
[04:33] <ali1234> incorperated: there should be a text file with the source which tells you
[04:34] <charlie2> how do i get flash to work in konquror?
[04:34] <kravlin> nickrud: ok. So i have windows and Linux on seperate drives. Because of the MBR could i just put Hd1 and forget the  0.
[04:34] <kravlin> nickrud: right?
[04:34] <jungoh> My sound is not working. If I try and open Volume Control I get this error: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[04:34] <Warbo> charlie2: Sorry, I can't really think of anything else. Gnash would be complex to set up (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash if you're interested), and I've never used SWFDec
[04:35] <incorperated> i cant seem to find it
[04:35] <SexyBoBo> how do you kill x?
[04:35] <Warbo> charlie2: You can search in Synaptic for konqueror plugins (I think there is a package which lets Konqueror use Mozilla plugins)
[04:35] <charlie2> Warbo, thanks but i'll just use firefox, it only crashes on youtube if i don't pause the video before clicking a link, so i'll just try to remember to do that
[04:35] <incorperated> there is awhole bunch of stuff
[04:35] <ali1234> incorperated: where did you get the source?
[04:35] <nickrud> kravlin, no, you still need to identify the partition that windows lives in
[04:35] <Warbo> !flash > charlie2
[04:35] <darklard> holy crap i need sleep uh whats my editor called uh... pino.. nino... no...
[04:35] <PyChild> lmosher You mean "edit>preferences" this is ubuntu, remember, i remember seen that option "under dowloads"
[04:35] <Warbo> charlie2: That may have more info, but I'm all out sorry
[04:35] <charlie2> what is !flash > charlie2
[04:35] <PyChild> lmosher but it seems it is now "file types"
[04:35] <incorperated> what do you mean where did i get the source?
[04:36] <ali1234> incorperated: where did you download it from?
[04:36] <jungoh> darklard, nano?
[04:36] <Warbo> charlie2: That should have sent you a message from the bot ubotu about Flash
[04:36] <charlie2> oh nevermind the bot pmd me
[04:36] <PyChild> lmosher hurray for user "friendly names", anyway thanks i needed that push
[04:36] <SexyBoBo> how do you kill xserver?
[04:36] <justin__> my wifi disconnects every now and then with ubuntu os only any ideas?
[04:36] <darklard> jungoh NANO !!!! thanks... man total spaz i am
[04:36] <incorperated> i dont remember actually
[04:36] <nickrud> kravlin, ask ali1234, he's obviously grubbier than I :)
[04:36] <NemesisD> hi all, something has been seriously borked, im trying to help some with ubuntu edgy over the phone, over 100 packages are showing up as broken D:
[04:36] <jrib> SexyBoBo: sude invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[04:36] <ali1234> SexyBoBo: ctrl-alt-backspace
[04:36] <charlie2> i was also wondering how you kill xserver and go back to bash
[04:36] <incorperated> i just looked for a nintendo 64 eemulator
[04:36] <pike_> SexyBoBo: standard way is sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop   then just start or restart
[04:36] <jungoh> darklard, haha no problem i know the feeling
[04:36] <Warbo> SexyBoBo: press ctrl-alt-f1, login and run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[04:36] <KoNsTrUcToR> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruJ0AMxijdQ
[04:36] <SexyBoBo> ty
[04:36] <incorperated> that what sthink i cant find where i downloaded it from
[04:36] <PyChild> and off i go, thanks!
[04:36] <lmosher> PyChild: Oh right sorry im in windows at the moment :)
[04:36] <kravlin> alil234: nickrud said you're good with grub. Is that true?
[04:37] <incorperated> i have alot fo readme files and stuf
[04:37] <KoNsTrUcToR> sorry
[04:37] <incorperated> but i cant seem to find what to do
[04:37] <incorperated> there is a install file
[04:37] <BrianDonohue> !flood
[04:37] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:37] <incorperated> can i paste it to  you and see if that helps
[04:37] <ali1234> kravlin: yeah, i know it fairly well
[04:37] <vivi_>
[04:37] <ali1234> incorperated: pastebin it, or just tell me where i can get a copy of the source
[04:38] <incorperated> how do you pastebin it
[04:38] <kravlin> alil234: I've been working hard to try and get GRUB to work for one week.
[04:38] <incorperated> ill do that
[04:38] <incorperated> but how
[04:38] <vivi_> could somebody can help me ?
[04:38] <kravlin> alil234: With windows.
[04:38] <greyfrog> !ask | vivi_
[04:38] <ubotu> vivi_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:39] <atman> anyone know if you need samba to share files from a host os to virtual machine?
[04:39] <atman> samba installed on the host
[04:39] <atman> ?
[04:39] <pike_> atman: or ssh or ftp
[04:39] <ali1234> !flood | incorperated
[04:39] <ubotu> incorperated: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:39] <vivi_> the problem is
[04:39] <darklard_> so.... before i totally screw something up.... in grub's menu.lst ... if I just cut paste windows OS to above the Ubuntu in there it would be the default start
[04:39] <greyfrog> atman, you could use nfs... it depends on the guest os
[04:39] <pike_> atman: the virtual machine just needs to connect to its gateway (your host) with any way you want
[04:39] <ali1234> kravlin: pastebin your menu.lst?
[04:40] <jungoh> can anyone help out, i have no sound, and i keep getting errors when i try to open volume control (No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.) or play sound (MPlayer:cannot initialize audio device)
[04:40] <kravlin> alil234: It allows me to select it from the list but unfortunately. It displays a bunch of non-latin characters and just stops working.
[04:40] <incorperated> just copy the url from the site
[04:40] <NemesisD> anyone? im getting a ton of broken packages in synaptic, over 100, what could be going wrong
[04:40] <incorperated> or what you mean
[04:40] <BrianDonohue> !broken
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about broken - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <greyfrog> atman, personally I use what pike_ said: ssh/scp
[04:40] <ali1234> incorperated: yes, paste the url it gives you here
[04:40] <jungoh> !alsa
[04:40] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[04:40] <vivi_> when i use the desktop-3d-effect,the title-bar is lost ?
[04:40] <kdiggdy> does ubuntu support agp gfx cards?
[04:40] <vivi_> how to solve the problem?
[04:41] <greyfrog> vivi_, you using Beryl?
[04:41] <vivi_> ?
[04:41] <vivi_> no
[04:41] <pike_> kdiggdy: yes.more important is if you are using ati or nvidia
[04:41] <kdiggdy> ait
[04:41] <kdiggdy> ati
[04:41] <lamalex> vivi_, I have that problem too
[04:41] <vivi_> just the compiz which is inculded
[04:41] <lamalex> i use beryl which works fine
[04:41] <lamalex> only compiz does it
[04:41] <kravlin> alil234: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26534/
[04:41] <genti> vivi_ me too
[04:41] <vivi_> ?
[04:41] <greyfrog> !beryl | vivi_
[04:41] <ubotu> vivi_: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[04:42] <vivi_> en ,how to
[04:42] <kdiggdy> i've been trying to configre my computer for about 8 hours now and i'm almost at the point to giveing up
[04:42] <pike_> kdiggdy: if you stick with linux id go nvidia next time. ati is fine for 2d stuff though and some 3d
[04:42] <atman> hmm ty
[04:42] <pike_> kdiggdy: whats the problem
[04:42] <vivi_> compare with beryl ,i do think compiz is better,which is more stable and resource-saving
[04:42] <greyfrog> kdiggdy, yes, ubuntu supports most agp gfx cards
[04:43] <kdiggdy> well when ever i put my gfx card in and try to install or load ubuntu
[04:43] <kdiggdy> it dies
[04:43] <ali1234> kravlin: well, it looks okay - windows is on a different drive, yes? not just a different partition...
[04:43] <greyfrog> kdiggdy, "put my gfx card in"?
[04:43] <kdiggdy> it loads the kernel and the kills the screen
[04:43] <kravlin> yeah. Linux is on a SATA drive. Windows is on an IDE drive that's set as a slave.
[04:43] <kdiggdy> when i have the gfx card inside the computer
[04:44] <pike_> kdiggdy: can you alt-ctrl-f2?
[04:44] <kdiggdy> nope
[04:44] <kdiggdy> my moniter does not get any signal
[04:44] <kravlin> alil234: yeah. Linux is on a SATA drive. Windows is on an IDE drive that's set as a slave.
[04:44] <ali1234> kravlin: hmm... and the linux lines work okay?
[04:44] <kdiggdy> when i dont have the gfx card inside and use the intergrated gfx from the motherboard it runs like a bueaty
[04:44] <kravlin> alil234: i wouldn't be talking to you right now if they didn't
[04:44] <pike_> kdiggdy: ebay the ati card? :)
[04:45] <kdiggdy> cant
[04:45] <pike_> kdiggdy: what model is the card?
[04:45] <kdiggdy> x700 pro
[04:45] <kdiggdy> i have 2 that one and the Gforce 5200
[04:45] <lo4fer> any equivalent of the dead pixel buddy program for us linux users?
[04:45] <ali1234> kravlin: okay... the windows drive is set as slave? if there is a master, then wouldnt that drive be (hd1)? and if there wasnt a master, would the drive work properly as a slave?
[04:46] <ali1234> kravlin: or in other words, maybe you meant (hd2,0)?
[04:46] <vivi_> i had used BERYL for once ,but then i uninstal it
[04:46] <Techi> hey all
[04:46] <Techi> quick question
[04:46] <incorperated> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26535/
[04:46] <incorperated> theres the url to the paste
[04:46] <lo4fer> i was underwhelmed by beryl
[04:46] <incorperated> let me know if you need anymore information
[04:47] <ice799> Hey -- I have an old computer that I don't have the correct monitor adapter for -- its a P3 with a VGA graphics card and I only have a DVI cable -- is there a way to do an automated or remote console instalation of ubuntu on that system?
[04:47] <ali1234> incorperated: okay, i'm checking it
[04:47] <lo4fer> i was too lazy to even learn how to use beryl. that's how unappealing it was to me. i just uninstalled after 30 seconds of moving the wavy windows around.
[04:47] <darklard_> Anyone can help with a quick grub question?
[04:47] <Techi> I have a ubuntu server, with 2 NIC cards... If i were using Windows, i could bind both NIC's to a bridge, and let the bridge control the IP address. Is there some way in Ubuntu Server 7.04 to do this?
[04:47] <Mod_Man> i love the beryl cube
[04:47] <ctothej> subversion froze in the middle of a download, how can i restart from where it left ofF?
[04:47] <lo4fer> darklard you don't have to ask if you can ask or if someone knows. just ask and ppl will answer if they can.
[04:48] <darklard_> I want windows to be the default boot up (for wife) currently ubuntu is default can I just copy paste?
[04:48] <con1> is beryl slow?
[04:48] <lo4fer> mod_man: that's the thing, i was too lazy to even get that far with it lol
[04:48] <vivi_> but beryl takes too many resources
[04:48] <vivi_> right ?
[04:48] <darklard_> lo4fer i usually do but no one answered earlier ;-)
[04:48] <lmosher> ice799: It might be easier to get an adapter? Radioshack? I'm sure it's possible though, you could mimick w/ another PC (but don't do the final install)...
[04:48] <kdiggdy> pike, so anything
[04:48] <Chore-Boy> i just got beryl working on my computer.... but wine runs very slow in it, does that have something to do with me running in xgl?
[04:48] <con1> if i have a good graphic card, will it speed up beryl?
[04:49] <Chore-Boy> beryl runs pretty fast on my x800
[04:49] <ice799> lmosher, well i've used BSD before and there is a way to do a remote installation wherein the data output to the console is sent over the network to a receiving computer and displayed
[04:49] <[Tiju4n0] > eh pelicano
[04:49] <pike_> kdiggdy: i dunno i did a quick search of forums but didnt see anything other than standard x config stuff
[04:49] <[Tiju4n0] > x ke me rajaste guacho?
[04:49] <ice799> lmosher, i was wondering if ubuntu has something similar
[04:49] <kravlin> alil234: I posted more information here. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26536/ No there is no master drive above the one with windows on it.
[04:49] <kdiggdy> all right thanks
[04:49] <ali1234> ice799: yeah there is, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH
[04:49] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: I've used beryl and wine w/out a problem.. could be not enough ram or processor
[04:49] <lo4fer> yeah sometimes you just have to wait 20 and ask again. i wish i could help you out.
[04:49] <rustalot> can I tell cat (or some other such program) to print lines 234 - 260 of file foo.bar ?
[04:49] <Chore-Boy> just, wine runs slow while im using beryl, i had to change the session to xgl
[04:49] <julio> hi, what's the comand to delete and archive?
[04:49] <tinwhiskers> con1 - that would be a big 'hell yes it would';
[04:49] <ali1234> kravlin: can even windows operate that way?
[04:49] <[Tiju4n0] > sobre que usas ubuntu gil me echas

[04:49] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[04:49] <lo4fer> shouldn't be too hard to find documentation on changing default boot order in grub tho.
[04:50] <wastedfluid> Hi.  I removed my swap, to re-size it.  I re-created it; it's still /hda5... however, I'm having problems.  WHen ubuntu starts, it doesn't auto-mount.. but if I /sbin/mkswap it, it works.. ANY ideas?? it's listed in my fstab.
[04:50] <NemesisD> ok does anybody have any ideas why over 100 packages are showing as broken in synaptic?
[04:50] <ice799> ali1234, that assumes there is something installed on the remote system already though! I suppose what I am asking might be difficult or impossible...
[04:50] <Chore-Boy> lmosher: well, i have an athlonxp 2500, and 1gb of ram
[04:50] <ali1234> incorperated: those compilation instructions are extremely unhelpful, unfortunately
[04:50] <incorperated> ok
[04:50] <julio> hi everyone, what's the comand to delte an archive?
[04:50] <incorperated> where should i look
[04:50] <lo4fer> default boot order in grub http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=280342
[04:50] <incorperated> let me see if i can find a link to the site
[04:50] <darklard_> lo4fer you would think... but it seems to be just so basic a question they don't cover it in their manual...
[04:50] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: Hrm should be OK then. Do you get good FSP with glxgears?
[04:50] <Chore-Boy> lmosher: i also had to make an xgl session to get beryl to work, is that maybe the problem?
[04:50] <ali1234> incorperated: try searching the ubuntu forums to see if anybody has posted a detailed guide to compiling it
[04:50] <julio> sudo delete?
[04:50] <Chore-Boy> glxgears?
[04:50] <incorperated> ok
[04:51] <incorperated> if not ill be back with a source or link or something helpful
[04:51] <rustalot> julio: like, a .rar file you have lying around?
[04:51] <Chore-Boy> ok, i ran glxgears, how do i see the fps
[04:51] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: Just type 'gxlgears' and wait it will tell you the FPS every 5 seconds. What do you get?
[04:51] <kravlin> alil234: I had two disks running that both had different versions of windows. I was able to switch the one that booted first in my BIOS and they worked fine.
[04:51] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: in a terminal window, of course.
[04:51] <julio> no, and archive called xorg.conf.fglrx-0
[04:51] <wastedfluid> Hi.  I removed my swap, to re-size it.  I re-created it; it's still /hda5... however, I'm having problems.  WHen ubuntu starts, it doesn't auto-mount.. but if I /sbin/mkswap it, it works.. ANY ideas?? it's listed in my fstab.
[04:51] <darklard_> lo4fer i've noticed that about lots of linux manuals they have answers for everything except the simple things ;-) I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't mess it up if I just coppied the windows boot section above the ubuntu section
[04:51] <jungoh> my sound isn't working at all, when i run alsamixer i get this error alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[04:51] <Chore-Boy> lmosher: about 7500fps
[04:52] <ali1234> kravlin: okay but in both cases, you had a master and a slave... i dont think you can have just a slave on it's own as the windows boot device...
[04:52] <rustalot> julio: from the command line, or the GUI?
[04:52] <julio> it's because i have some problems trying to install ati driver and i wanna begin all over again, from the zero
[04:52] <julio> command line
[04:52] <wols> ali1234: as long as the bIOS is ok with it, you can
[04:52] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: That's fine, then. Ok. You're running xgl in another x? Hm. I remember having an issue w/ that once, I had to tell wine to run in X itself and I got much better performance.
[04:52] <kravlin> alil234: Ill go test that out.
[04:52] <Techi> Flannel, you around?
[04:53] <lo4fer> yeah the forums work a treat when the manuals fail.
[04:53] <tidrion> E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error)
[04:53] <tidrion> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[04:53] <tidrion> any ideas?
[04:53] <rustalot> you want to do 'sudo rm /path/to/the/file'
[04:53] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: Now I use X7, so no xgl anymore. That could be a cause of the slowdown.
[04:53] <lo4fer> here is a good resource too, but as you see you can't always get an answer b/c there's not always someone who knows
[04:53] <Chore-Boy> lmosher: im not sure i had to change it to xml because i have a radeon card, i guess, thats what the internet told me lol
[04:53] <Chore-Boy> lmosher: what is x7?
[04:54] <wastedfluid> Hi.  I removed my swap, to re-size it.  I re-created it; it's still /hda5... however, I'm having problems.  WHen ubuntu starts, it doesn't auto-mount.. but if I /sbin/mkswap it, it works.. ANY ideas?? it's listed in my fstab.
[04:54] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: xorg 7, it just has a built-in composite manager (like xgl) but atm it only works w/ nvidia as far as I know
[04:54] <PeDePano> hi
[04:54] <wols> lymeca|3: aiglx?
[04:54] <PeDePano> does anyone here use ubuntu 64 bits?
[04:54] <julio> Why my desktop effects doesn function, after i try to active that, a window appear and say "desktop effect couldn be actived
[04:55] <wols> it wokrs with anytthing but fglrx is more like it
[04:55] <wastedfluid> Hi guys.  Need some help.  I deleted/re-created my swap file to re-size it.  It's still /dev/hda5... but it doesn't auto-mount on boot.  /sbin/mkswap makes it show up.  It's listed in "fstab".  any ideas?
[04:55] <Chore-Boy> lmosher: is 7 just the new version? which one do i have with feisty?
[04:55] <wols> !effects | julio
[04:55] <ubotu> julio: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[04:55] <julio> ok, thank-s
[04:55] <wols> !repeat | wastedfluid
[04:55] <ubotu> wastedfluid: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[04:56] <lo4fer> !botabuse | wols
[04:56] <ubotu> wols: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[04:56] <lo4fer> bwahaha
[04:56] <PeDePano> does anyone here use ubuntu 64 bits?
[04:56] <lmosher> Chore-Boy: Yes. Now, for xgl... if I remember right you put X on display 0, and XGL on display 1. So I -think- if you want to get wine to go on display 0 you just open a terminal and type '$DISPLAY=:0" and then run wine, I've forgotten tho it's been awhile. I bet if you ask in #beryl someone can help you more.
[04:56] <lo4fer> wols: just fooling
[04:57] <wols> lo4fer: go to bed kiddo
[04:57] <lo4fer> wols: i should. work tomorrow and all that
[04:57] <greg_g> wastedfluid: does your fstab UUID for your swap match the command "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -alh"
[04:57] <wastedfluid> greg_g;  I don't have UUID's in my fstab..
[04:57] <Chore-Boy> lmosher: thanks
[04:57] <lmosher> PeDePano: I not currently, but I've used it before. What's up?
[04:58] <wols> PeDePano: ask your real question
[04:58] <greg_g> you just have the /dev/sda# etc?
[04:58] <wastedfluid> greg_g;  It's /dev/hda5.. etc.
[04:59] <greg_g> use pastepin for your fstab so I can take a quick look
[04:59] <greg_g> !paste
[04:59] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:59] <wastedfluid> ok.
[04:59] <pike_> anyone need help? im in a giving mood
[04:59] <wastedfluid> greg_g; http://pastebin.ca/580493
[05:00] <wols> wastedfluid: boot, try to mount /dev/hda5 and see what error it gives
[05:00] <ali1234> pike_: what's the easiest way to install on a machine with no cdrom, no floppy, no network, and no existing OS?
[05:00] <wastedfluid> how do you want me to mount it?
[05:00] <wastedfluid> I have to /sbin/mkswap to make it activate.. sudo swapon -a doesn't work.
[05:00] <lmosher> Ew interesting problem. I (as some know) just moved around my partitions. I want to add a windows partition now, but my XP install is saying it can't find any disks. Why, god, why? Do I need to pre-format the partition NTFS for it?
[05:00] <PeDePano> lmosher, my splash screen is not colored... is it normal in 64 bits versions?
[05:00] <shiester_miester> pike_, you could help me :P
[05:00] <PeDePano> wols, same thing for u
[05:00] <shiester_miester> theres a few things I'd like to do that I haven't been able to solve
[05:00] <sebastian> were i can find a ircop ??
[05:00] <jrib> sebastian: why?
[05:01] <wols> sebastian: #freenode
[05:01] <sebastian> ok thx
[05:01] <lmosher> PeDePano: hmm I think mine was. It might not be enabling the right driver for your videocard until the OS is running
[05:01] <righteous> hello everyone i need help with installing a wireless card
[05:01] <shiester_miester> pike_, my most severe problem is the one that this attempts to fix:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26364/ but to no avail
[05:01] <righteous> can anyone help me?
[05:01] <mezziah> great, now miranda over wine stopped working
[05:01] <greg_g> wastedfluid: in my fstab, the mount point for the swap partition is "none"
[05:02] <pike_> ali1234: we'll need a magnet and a num 2 sewing needle
[05:02] <wastedfluid> greg_g;  I know, I changed that off a tutorial, and it still didn't work.. it used to be none, and still didn't work
[05:02] <greg_g> wastedfluid: ok
[05:02] <mezziah> oh it didn't
[05:02] <PeDePano> lmosher, is there any problem with the linux itself? or may i use it normally?
[05:02] <mezziah> nevermind.
[05:02] <shiester_miester> pike_, i just realised that that thing doesnt really tell you what the problem is..  basically when I boot ubuntu on another machine it hangs and gives me the error "sh cant access tty"
[05:02] <ali1234> pike_: last time i did it by hot swapping my harddrive (this machine does not have hot swap, but it worked... somehow)
[05:02] <Beastlykings> where would I go on the net to make a .vmx file? I know there is a site but googleing is no ghelp.
[05:02] <shiester_miester> ali1234, thats probably a really, really bad idea
[05:03] <righteous> does anyone know anything about getting wireless cards to work
[05:03] <lmosher> PeDePano: I think so.. is everything else color once it starts?
[05:03] <wastedfluid> greg_g;  do you think setting up the UUID's would work?  thisi stotally annoying, because hibernate *used* to work until I res-ized my partitions..
[05:03] <PeDePano> lmosher, yes
[05:03] <shiester_miester> righteous, people come in with wireless problems all the time
[05:03] <PeDePano> apparently normal
[05:03] <righteous> cool
[05:03] <righteous> i need help
[05:03] <greg_g> wastedfluid: just to make sure, pastebin the results of "sudo sfdisk -l /dev/sda"
[05:03] <wastedfluid> ok
[05:03] <lmosher> PeDePano: Then it sounds like you're OK, it probably just doesn't enable the proper color modes until it loads the proper drivers
[05:03] <righteous> with more than one issue
[05:03] <righteous> if you would be so kind to help me
[05:03] <greg_g> wastedfluid: btw, what version are you running?
[05:03] <wastedfluid> greg_g; "sudo sfdisk -l /dev/sda" returns nothing
[05:03] <wastedfluid> dapper drake ^
[05:03] <jungoh> anyone wanna help out? i can load my gnome-alsamixer as root, but as a normal user i just get errors, what's up?
[05:03] <shiester_miester> yes, we all understand the fact that you need help righteous
[05:03] <wols> righteous: state your real problem
[05:04] <shiester_miester> stop asking for help and ask your question :P
[05:04] <PeDePano> lmosher, thanks, i thought that was a bug in 64 bits version
[05:04] <wastedfluid> greg_g;  it says sfdisk cannot open /dev/sda for reading
[05:04] <PeDePano> lmosher, in all the OS...
[05:04] <righteous> i cannot detect anything from my wireless card
[05:04] <righteous> using wiki
[05:04] <greg_g> oh, whoops, switch sda with hda
[05:04] <Beastlykings> nevermind, I found easyvmx.com
[05:04] <shiester_miester> pike_, any ideas?
[05:04] <righteous> im sitting next to my wireless router and it doesnt see it
[05:04] <greg_g> wastedfluid: switch sda with hda
[05:04] <wastedfluid> ok, hold on
[05:04] <wols> righteous: what wlan chip?
[05:04] <pike_> shiester_miester: from livecd or install?

[05:14] <mezziah> guys i need your help.. it seems that 'man' stopped working. everytime i enter something like.. say 'man irssi' it just gives me a list of commandline parameters, like in 'man --help' or something
[05:14] <reya276> hum.. good question I don't remember all I know is that it is a .bin file not .deb
[05:14] <ali1234> kravlin: not sure... the best way to find out is to look at the list of devices from the grub prompt
[05:14] <wols> righteous: both have tons of howtos for ubuntu I imagine
[05:14] <kravlin> alil234: That would make it hd0 even with the Sata drive.
[05:14] <mezziah> the package 'manpages' is installed
[05:14] <ali1234> kravlin: also windows sometimes has problems if you move the boot device around
[05:14] <kravlin> i think.
[05:14] <righteous> ive followed a few
[05:15] <righteous> they make it seem so easy
[05:15] <righteous> lol
[05:15] <righteous> never is
[05:15] <lukealpha> i also have a 8 core amd athlon
[05:15] <reya276> huh? broadcom, no you guys are thinking of the Laptop wireless issue I had I fixed that
[05:15] <righteous> thats why im asking a pro

[05:15] <Frogzoo> mezziah: do you get anything from 'alias man' ?
[05:15] <shiester_miester> lukealpha, are you trying to impress us
[05:15] <Naisenu> Installed the ntfs-3g and ntfs-config. Ran ntfs-config to allow access on internal HDD. Appear to allow only root to write. Anyway I can allow the two main users permissions to write to the drive?
[05:15] <mezziah> thanks i'll try that out
[05:15] <righteous> wols
[05:15] <ali1234> kravlin: also if windows is installed on a raw partition that could affect it - it would be (hd1) then i think
[05:15] <righteous> im not using real
[05:15] <righteous> lol
[05:15] <reya276> all I want to do is remove realplayer from my system
[05:15] <wols> lukealpha: stop that you're being OT
[05:15] <mezziah> Frogzoo: wait a sec
[05:15] <wols> righteous: sorry. reya276 is
[05:15] <lukealpha> what is ot ?
[05:15] <righteous> did you get that pastebin
[05:15] <righteous> wols
[05:16] <vlad_> heya, does feisty have debuginfo packages available?
[05:16] <wols> reya276: you didn't use a ubuntu .deb so #ubuntu cannot help you
[05:16] <Naisenu> lukealpha, ot = Off Topic
[05:16] <mezziah> yo2k: didn't change anything
[05:16] <reya276> wols you lost me on that one
[05:16] <wols> righteous: I did and UI answered you
[05:16] <lukealpha> lol
[05:16] <shiester_miester> lukealpha, youre doing a pretty crappy job of being impressive...most of the people in this channel are hardcore geeks that know of much better rigs than yours
[05:16] <mezziah> Frogzoo: bash: alias: man: not found
[05:16] <SaveFerris_> shes asleep already? or is she raving?
[05:16] <kravlin> alil234: so when i get into the grub prompt what do i type to bring up the list of devices.
[05:16] <vlad_> oh, -dbg I guess?
[05:16] <righteous> whos ui
[05:16] <reya276> ok got yah
[05:16] <righteous> i dont understand wols
[05:16] <yo2k> mezziah: try again --> man packages
[05:16] <Frogzoo> mezziah: ok, how bout 'which man'
[05:16] <lukealpha>  im not trying to be impressive
[05:16] <wols> righteous: if you want us to help you, use .debs to install stuff. debs from ubunut.com. also: we cannot know where and how realplayer installed files so we cannot help you to remove it. ask real.com
[05:17] <ali1234> kravlin: about grub - when you see the grub menu when booting, you can escape to a grub prompt. at that point you can type in commands like in the menu.lst, as well as others
[05:17] <lukealpha> i was just trying to see the reaction i would get from people
[05:17] <shiester_miester> no, youre just listing all the specs of your system on one line each for absolutely no reason
[05:17] <righteous> wols im not using real player
[05:17] <righteous> come on man
[05:17] <SaveFerris_> hey where are we?
[05:17] <mezziah> yo2k: yep, as said, same behaviour
[05:17] <lukealpha> lol
[05:17] <righteous> why do you keep saying that
[05:17] <wols> lukealpha: stop trolling
[05:17] <lukealpha> yes to get a reaction
[05:17] <reya276> the reason why I came here is because I'v been searching everywhere on how to remove it, no luck, bu thanks
[05:17] <shiester_miester> lukealpha, why? do you think we care about your hardware?
[05:17] <righteous> i dont need help with real player
[05:17] <wols> !ops lukealpha is trolling
[05:17] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, the screensaver 'sonar' under Gnome should be able to display networks in stead of the usual Migs and F18 ... can someone help ?
[05:17] <righteous> i need help with my wireless vard
[05:17] <kravlin> alil234: right. So what commands do i use to bring up the info on my hard drives?
[05:17] <mezziah> Frogzoo: that's quite a lot of output, i'll paste it somewhere else
[05:17] <ali1234> kravlin: just checking
[05:17] <lukealpha> lol see this is the reason why i did cause i know you folks in here would ask me questions like this
[05:18] <Frogzoo> mezziah: 'which man' should just give /usr/bin/man
[05:18] <righteous> can someone else help me
[05:18] <righteous> wols doesnt know what hes talking about
[05:18] <mezziah> Frogzoo: http://pastebin.ca/580520
[05:18] <shiester_miester> lukealpha, you kinda ruined the potential for reaction when you came in and said you were a noob :P a noob with a good system is nothing special
[05:18] <ali1234> kravlin: try "root (" followed by tab
[05:18] <bruenig> righteous, what is the issue
[05:18] <lukealpha> i dont have a good system
[05:18] <righteous> cannot connect to my wireless router
[05:19] <wols> bruenig: broadcomn 4318
[05:19] <righteous> cannot get a signal
[05:19] <shiester_miester> yeah you do, its quite good...not the best but good enough for most things
[05:19] <bruenig> righteous, and what makes you think wols is wrong?
[05:19] <mezziah> Frogzoo: oh, i found out that '/usr/bin/man irssi' works
[05:19] <lukealpha> no not for my needs
[05:19] <righteous> hey kept talking about real player

[05:19] <Frogzoo> mezziah: so what set this function for man ? try a new terminal
[05:19] <righteous> i have no issue with real player
[05:19] <bruenig> righteous, oh yeah that does seem off
[05:19] <shiester_miester> needs like what, lukealpha ?
[05:19] <ali1234> kravlin: or "root (hd1" then tab
[05:19] <righteous> i never got an answer
[05:19] <vlad_> hrm, no.. so no debuginfo packages for ubuntu?
[05:19] <bruenig> !wifi | righteous did you read this yet?
[05:19] <ubotu> righteous did you read this yet?: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:19] <wols> bruenig: reya276 vs righteous. *sigh*
[05:20] <lukealpha> id rather not say its ot
[05:20] <Naisenu> wols: Yah, got to the install part of ntfs-3g & config. It only allows root access to write.
[05:20] <kravlin> alil234: Unrecognized drive string
[05:20] <shiester_miester> suit yourself :P
[05:20] <mezziah> Frogzoo: doesn't work after launching a new terminal.. and i didn't understand your question :S
[05:20] <righteous> yes
[05:20] <kravlin> alil234: Unrecognized device string
[05:20] <righteous> its not very informative
[05:20] <kravlin> alil234: sorry. its the second one.
[05:20] <wols> righteous: have you looked for any broadcom howtos on the forums?
[05:20] <Naisenu> !ntfs-3g
[05:20] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

[05:21] <ali1234> kravlin: i don't understand?
[05:21] <ali1234> kravlin: dont press enter, press tab
[05:21] <kravlin> it stated root (hd1
[05:21] <kemax> Gnome Windows List applet shows only icons?
[05:21] <kravlin> and then it did nothing at all
[05:21] <righteous> its not a broadcom card
[05:21] <righteous> its a buffalo
[05:21] <ali1234> press tab again?
[05:21] <Naisenu> yep that got me around full circle. I need the assistance with groups/users/permissions.
[05:21] <mezziah> Frogzoo: http://pastebin.ca/580525
[05:22] <kravlin> root (hd0,0)
[05:22] <mezziah> Frogzoo: is there a chance that my new .bashrc (i got it from another place) messed that up?
[05:22] <elmo_> i'm looking for a linuxdriver for my minoltafax 2600 printer... googled ages.. anyone knows help?
[05:22] <yo2k> mezziah: sudo man packages
[05:22] <kravlin> but it did nothing whatsoever.
[05:22] <wols> righteous: you are mistaken. buffalo doesn't make a single chip broadcom does. ti's a braodcom chip
[05:22] <mezziah> yo2k: works perfectly
[05:22] <ali1234> kravlin: then (hd0,0) is the only partition it found
[05:22] <bruenig> mezziah, export MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/man

[05:22] <Frogzoo> mezziah: open ~/.bashrc with a text editor & comment out the bash() function - you should open a new terminal & it will then work
[05:23] <lukealpha> ok look i have another question anyone help me i promise its not off topic
[05:23] <wols> righteous: unless you have more than one "802.11g Wireless LAN Controller" ?
[05:23] <mezziah> bruenig: thank you but it doesn't work :(
[05:23] <Frogzoo> mezziah: I mean the 'man()' function
[05:23] <mezziah> Frogzoo: ok sec
[05:23] <greg_g> whats up lukealpha
[05:23] <righteous> i dont know man
[05:23] <righteous> lol
[05:23] <lukealpha> root@lukealpha-desktop:/home/lukealpha# cd pcsx2
[05:23] <lukealpha> root@lukealpha-desktop:/home/lukealpha/pcsx2# ./configure
[05:23] <lukealpha> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[05:23] <righteous> your going beyond me
[05:23] <righteous> i think i have one
[05:23] <lukealpha> i try to instal this i get this error
[05:24] <bruenig> mezziah, I am not sure what you are doing exactly but man is already in the path, there is no reason to screw with /usr/bin/man, it would have something to do with the MANPATH not the path to the man executable
[05:24] <kravlin> alil234: Meaning?
[05:24] <ali1234> kravlin: it sounds like grub cant understand the format of the windows disk, probably cos it is a dynamic volume or a raw partition or something
[05:24] <doms> how to free my hardisk ubuntu? like emtry Trash and Empty Thumbnails and empty  apt/Cache
[05:24] <yo2k> semarang: sopo iki...
[05:24] <greg_g> lukealpha: well, is there a configure file in that directory?
[05:24] <righteous> i am just starting all of this
[05:24] <lukealpha> yes
[05:24] <righteous> so i need my hand held through every step
[05:24] <semarang> #semarang
[05:24] <Frogzoo> bruenig: for some reason, man is defined as a function in mezziah ~/.bashrc
[05:25] <kravlin> well i ran it from inside terminal instead of at boot.
[05:25] <lukealpha> i also tried ./pcsx2 dont work either
[05:25] <mezziah> bruenig: i don't know.. but i'm pretty sure it worked before messing with the .bashrc, so the problem should be there i guess
[05:25] <bruenig> Frogzoo, oh, weird, sounds malicious
[05:25] <lukealpha> and when i try to do a make it get another error
[05:25] <righteous> can someone help me step by step
[05:25] <righteous> or maybe vnc
[05:25] <righteous> and show me
[05:25] <bruenig> doms, apt-get clean is how to clean apt cache, you know how to do the rest I assume
[05:25] <ali1234> kravlin: that should do the same thing...
[05:25] <greg_g> lukealpha: is there a README or INSTALL file?
[05:25] <lukealpha> no
[05:25] <lukealpha> oh wait there is an install file yes
[05:26] <wols> righteous:if you don't want to do any work or spend any effort yourselves: good luck. you will need it
[05:26] <mezziah> Frogzoo: i can't find 'bash()', may i show you the whole .bash.rc? it's pretty huge though
[05:26] <righteous> i am spending time right now
[05:26] <Dr_willis> righteous,  depends on the exact version of vnc. i had to copy the /etc/vnc.conf file to the /home/USERNAME/.vncrc and edited it to run what i wanted
[05:26] <righteous> lol
[05:26] <jamman> lukealpha, do "cat INSTALL:
[05:26] <righteous> i just need someone to hold my hand through the begining
[05:26] <jamman> lukealpha, do "cat INSTALL"
[05:26] <kravlin> alil234: so any other suggestions?
[05:26] <lukealpha> ok
[05:26] <n2diy_> righteous: I just checked in, what are you trying to do?
[05:26] <jamman> lukealpha, do the second command.
[05:26] <Dr_willis> righteous,  one issue with vnc is theres several 'variants'
[05:27] <wols> n2diy_: get his broadcom 4318 working
[05:27] <ali1234> kravlin: the only thing i can think of is try (hd1) instead of (hd1,0)
[05:27] <ali1234> kravlin: but that is a total shot in the dark and probably wont work
[05:27] <n2diy_> wols: cable modem?
[05:27] <righteous> yes
[05:27] <nickrud> doms, sudo apt-get clean  (for the cache) , right click the trash icon and select empty trash from the menu, and rm -r ~/.thumbnails/*
[05:27] <spasticteapot> My sound on my laptop has mysteriously disappeared. Aside from system beeps, I get nothing.
[05:27] <righteous> cant detect my wireless router
[05:27] <wols> n2diy_: do you know what a broadcom 4318 is?
[05:27] <righteous> or anything at that
[05:28] <spasticteapot> How do I get my laptop to play music, video, etc through the onboard (intel) soundcard?
[05:28] <wols> !sound | spasticteapot
[05:28] <ubotu> spasticteapot: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[05:28] <spasticteapot> IT used to work, but I had to manually restart it after it refused to come out of sleep mode.
[05:28] <n2diy_> wols: a cable modem? :)
[05:28] <kravlin> alil234: I just mounted the drive in linux.
[05:28] <jamman> spasticteapot, are all of the channels turned up?
[05:28] <wols> n2diy_: don't bother. broadcom 43xx are a widely known range of wlan cards
[05:28] <spasticteapot> jamman: Yup.
[05:28] <ali1234> kravlin: okay...? but grub is not linux :)
[05:29] <jamman> spasticteapot, well, are you alsa modules loaded?
[05:29] <n2diy_> wols: roger.
[05:29] <spasticteapot> jamman: Fixed it. Dunno what the problem was - I just had to unmute PCM on the volume panel.
[05:29] <spasticteapot> How it got jiggered off I don't know.
[05:29] <spasticteapot> Thanks!
[05:29] <righteous> thats great wols
[05:29] <righteous> but i still need help
[05:30] <jamman> righteous, whats your prob?
[05:30] <wols> righteous: I told you what to do. if you don't whant to: your choice
[05:30] <righteous> i cant get my wireless card to work
[05:30] <chrismurf> Does anybody know how to view the clipboard in linux?  I copy and paste two identical things; one pastes, one doesn't. I figure it's a data format issue or something, but I don't know what the clipboard is storing.
[05:30] <righteous> you gave me a link
[05:30] <righteous> ive tried that

[05:30] <righteous> ?!?!
[05:30] <wols> kravlin: what happens when you chose the windows install and press enter int he menu?
[05:30] <jamman> righteous, is that the place you went to?
[05:30] <righteous> i followed the inital setup instructions
[05:30] <righteous> in ubuntu help
[05:30] <Oni-Dracula> does ubuntu have SATA hard drive support?
[05:31] <Oni-Dracula> feisty, that is
[05:31] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, yes
[05:31] <nalioth> Orion: it does, depending on the controller
[05:31] <righteous> but the only help i seem to find is to reload the drivers on that website
[05:31] <righteous> i dont even know what a kernel is
[05:31] <righteous> im completly new
[05:31] <righteous> i need help
[05:31] <Oni-Dracula> chrismurf, what could cause the installer to not detect a hard drive when the BIOS sees it
[05:31] <kravlin> wols: it shows a bunch of non-latin characters.
[05:31] <jamman> righteous, sorry, i gotta hit the hay now. somebody else may be able to help you.
[05:31] <righteous> im not asking too much i dont think
[05:32] <stonerrob420> hi
[05:32] <chrismurf> righteous, but you're just asking it of other users like you ;-)
[05:32] <jamman> righteous, i have to get up at 5:30 and it's 9:30... se you.
[05:32] <Zambezi> How can I get another IP temporary? I can't make Tork work.
[05:32] <n2diy_> righteous: so you found your wireless card modules on the net?
[05:32] <righteous> i understand but someone has to know
[05:32] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, it could be that the drive controller isn't supported by the kernel
[05:32] <Zambezi> I need a simple thing for just some screenshots.
[05:32] <righteous> this isnt a headless monster is it?
[05:32] <wols> kravlin: tried to use (hd2,0) for it yet to boot?
[05:32] <Oni-Dracula> chrismurf, poopie...no easy workaround I assume?
[05:32] <yo2k> righteous: lspci
[05:32] <righteous> already got that
[05:32] <stonerrob420> anybody know how to mount a HD that the MBR is messed up on? ubuntu dapper
[05:32] <righteous> you want a paste bin?
[05:33] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, could be other things too
[05:33] <wols> yo2k: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26539/ is his pastre
[05:33] <Crav> what do i need to do to resize my windows partition?
[05:33] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, do you know what controller you have?
[05:33] <chrismurf> get to a prompt and type lspci
[05:33] <wols> Crav: gparted
[05:33] <n2diy_> righteous: I don't know who you are talking to? Use my nick if addressing me, so it stands out from the rest of the traffic.
[05:33] <zed__> hello, before this last reinstall i had found a command to make "lspci" show all the info regardless of driver support. i forgot what it was, any idea ?
[05:34] <wols> zed__: lspci doesn't care about drivers. it will show always all devices
[05:34] <kravlin> no.
[05:34] <kravlin> wols: no.
[05:34] <wols> zed__: do you mean update-pciids to make less devices "unknown"
[05:34] <wols> kravlin: try it then?
[05:34] <Oni-Dracula> chrismurf, nvidia MCP51
[05:34] <righteous> n2siy
[05:34] <kravlin> will do.
[05:34] <wols> kravlin: SATA is first in BIOS right?
[05:34] <righteous> n2diy im talking to you
[05:34] <adcurtin> I have a shiny new MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to install feisty on it. When I boot the livecd in either normal mode or safe graphics mode, it spits out an error: "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off" Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this? (I've tried UbuntuStudio, and that works just fine, but I wasn't sure if I can install to a USB drive easily with a text-based installer)
[05:34] <zed__> YES!
[05:34] <kravlin> wols: its the first in the boot menu.
[05:35] <n2diy_> righteous: close, n2diy
[05:35] <llol> hello folks
[05:35] <mezziah> thanks for your help guys, i keep playing around with the .bashrc :)
[05:35] <wols> kravlin: I didn't ask about boot menu first. I asked about BIOS first

[05:35] <righteous> yes?
[05:35] <righteous> yo2k
[05:35] <zed__> wols thanks, even after that i still can't see what the device is, any suggestions ?

[05:35] <wols> kravlin: then why don't you do what I suggested?
[05:35] <yo2k> righteous: your hardware will detect, so you can setup it
[05:36] <kravlin> i will. Im downloading something right now and ill be done in about a minute.
[05:36] <righteous> yo2k how do i do that
[05:36] <kravlin> wols: ill try it then

[05:36] <wols> Floog: used windows before? if so, what was your IP there?
[05:36] <righteous> if you dont mind
[05:36] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, sata_nv should do it for you I think
[05:36] <elmo_> i'm looking for a linux driver for my minoltafax 2600 printer... googled ages.. anyone knows help?
[05:36] <Floog> Wols, not sure.
[05:37] <chrismurf> I'm not sure - I would suggest poking about on ubuntu forums to see if someone else had the same problem.

[05:38] <mezziah> um.. somehow some lines in .bashrc look like randomly produced charakters.. like you bang with your head on the keyboard and tada, code.. *tries to figure out*
[05:38] <wols> chrismurf: there shouldn't be any problem with the hdd Oni-Dracula. feisty should recognize it without a problem
[05:39] <mezziah> characters*
[05:39] <Floog> wols, sorry... not sure what that means...
[05:39] <wols> chrismurf: dmesg | grep sda
[05:39] <vivi_> ok ,thanks
[05:39] <yo2k> righteous: find how to setup, ( all of wifi have ip default so can setup under web )
[05:39] <Oni-Dracula> wols, okiedokie...ill double check the connections and stupid shit like that that I'm likely to do
[05:39] <wols> Floog: lspci -vv. paste the output in a pastebin
[05:39] <slackmagic> zed__: meaning you have to download the   http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids  file
[05:39] <n2diy_> stonerrob420: why load knoppix? Just reload Ubuntu.
[05:39] <wols> Oni-Dracula: does the BIOS recognize it? if yes, the connections are ok
[05:39] <zed__> slackmagic, update-pciids ?
[05:40] <slackmagic> zed__: and before you do that you are advised to back up your old/current one
[05:41] <wols> slackmagic: he already ran update-pciids
[05:41] <slackmagic> zed__: not that it will really make a difference because that database is being updated daily with new devices, but it sure won't hurt to back it up
[05:41] <zed__> yea
[05:41] <zed__> i already did
[05:41] <tyler_d> dvd ripping software?
[05:41] <mezziah> YAY, i found the lines who are responsible for that man behaviour

[05:41] <Floog> wols : where am I supposed to put lspci -w? I'm a complete linux noob.
[05:41] <mezziah> er, which*
[05:41] <zed__> ok well i used logic and figured it out, it's the built in webcam
[05:41] <wols> Floog: lspci -vv
[05:41] <n2diy_> tyler_d: k3b

[05:42] <Floog> lspci -w
[05:42] <righteous> yo2k it cant find anything
[05:42] <wols> stonerrob420: reinstall grub. if your partition table is shot (also iin the MBR) then you need to reinstall
[05:42] <wols> !grub | stonerrob420
[05:42] <ubotu> stonerrob420: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.   The drive wasn't connected *doh*
[05:43] <wols> yo2k: he needs a driver for his wifi card
[05:43] <wastedfluid> greg_g; You still there?
[05:43] <wols> Floog: yes
[05:43] <yo2k> wols: that wifi will detect right?
[05:43] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, soo... it wasn't actually working in BIOS ;-)
[05:43] <wols> yo2k: no
[05:43] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, careful what ye claim ;-)
[05:43] <wols> yo2k: his wifi is not detected or so he said
[05:43] <Oni-Dracula> chrismurf, it's been a looooong day
[05:43] <chrismurf> Oni-Dracula, no worries - good luck.
[05:44] <Oni-Dracula> chrismurf, ty
[05:44] <yo2k> wols: at pastebin, line 20, detect but not configured, i think...
[05:44] <wols> yo2k: fyi if you have a wroking driver, iwlist, iwspy, etc from wireless tools will do it. no setting IPs manally and check...
[05:44] <Floog> wols Says invalid option and a list of commands
[05:44] <wols> yo2k: it's a lspci output. doesn't say anything about drivers
[05:45] <yo2k> wols: ooo... really sorry...
[05:45] <righteous> kiwi cant find anything
[05:45] <righteous> whatever im going to bed

[05:45] <righteous> ill try again tomorrow
[05:45] <stonerrob421> anybody got any ideas on how to mount the hdc1 where i could fix my drive?
[05:45] <wastedfluid> Anyone ever have problems getting a swap file to auto mount after deleting/re-creating it?  Dapper drake; it's listed in my fstab, and /sbin/mkswap will mount it.  swapon -a will not.
[05:45] <wols> stonerrob420: I told you
[05:45] <yo2k> righteous: really sorry...
[05:46] <stonerrob421> ive got a copy of my menu.1st file backed up on the HD but no way to mount to restore it
[05:46] <wols> wastedfluid: what did swapon -a say?
[05:46] <TaJMoX> stonerrob421 - boot from the live cd
[05:46] <Floog> wols: bash: lspci-w: command not found that is what it says
[05:46] <wols> stonerrob420: I gave you a factoid about grub. you need to reinstall grub
[05:46] <stonerrob421> i did but ididnt work
[05:46] <wastedfluid> wols; I have to reboot to find out
[05:46] <Bogaurd> what's the name of the webmin package for feisty?
[05:46] <wastedfluid> wols; do you know of a way to unmount a swap?
[05:47] <wols> Floog: a) I epxlicitly told you 2 v's. NO w. I also had a space between lspci and the -
[05:47] <Naisenu> uhm whilst playing around with getting my NTFS drive to work, i appear to have lost support for my sound card -- yet i have done nothing to touch it
[05:47] <n2diy_> wastedfluid: why would you want to unmount /swap?
[05:47] <TaJMoX> stonerrob421 then you are not providing enough information
[05:47] <wols> wastedfluid: man swapoff
[05:47] <Floog> wols sorry looked like a w not vv on my screen
[05:47] <wastedfluid> n2diy_;  to try to paste what swapon says.
[05:47] <dbzdeath[lappy] > i just added myself to a group how do i update that change without logging out?
[05:47] <wols> dbzdeath[lappy] : you don't
[05:47] <stonerrob421> what dod you need to know and ill try my best to provide it

[05:48] <n2diy_> wastedfluid: ah, ok, wols told you how.
[05:48] <wols> dbzdeath[lappy] : groups refresh only on login/lgout
[05:48] <Iberian_Lynx> i have ubuntu installed on vmware player. i've installed kaffeine on ubuntu, but everytime i try to play a file on kafeine, my X restarts. is it because i'm running ubuntu on vmware?
[05:48] <dbzdeath[lappy] > wols: bummer... are you sure there is no other way?
[05:48] <wols> nrdb: wrong channel
[05:48] <tyler_d> my dvd burner has dissapeared from my system... but I have 2 of my removable harddrives(same one) (usb drive)?
[05:48] <wastedfluid> wols: well, swapon -a mounts it now.  but if I reboot, it won't.  Let me reboot and grab the error message for you.
[05:48] <nrdb> wols: just asking don't know anyone with one.
[05:49] <TaJMoX> stonerrob421 - first of all - WHY won't it mount?  there must be some kind of error.   Secon, what are you trying to fix?
[05:49] <Floog> wols: Okay now there is a bunch of stuff on the screen, what should i look for/
[05:49] <wols> nrdb: it's still OT in here. ask #C or #osx or whatever. tho running foreign programs from itc is s dumb thing to do
[05:49] <wols> Floog: paste it
[05:49] <wols> Floog: in a pastebin
[05:50] <wols> TaJMoX: he has a broken MBR but ignores my grub howto I pasted the url for
[05:50] <Floog> wols: what is a pastebin?
[05:50] <wols> !paste | Floog
[05:50] <ubotu> Floog: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:50] <vivi_> excuse me ,where can i download the languige package for opera9.2?
[05:50] <n2diy_> ! pastebin | Floog
[05:50] <oipat> What sorts of Wireless encryption does ubuntu support? ..or dont support.
[05:50] <wols> vivi_: ask opera.com
[05:50] <nrdb> wols: it very simple only uses 3 standard functions 4 if you include printf.
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak> vivi_: the language package?
[05:50] <wols> oipat: it supports both
[05:51] <wols> nrdb: it's a foreign binary which means unless whoever runs it also compiles it himself from source, it could be a trojan. now please stop it's OT
[05:51] <vivi_> yes the language package for chinese
[05:51] <tyler_d> reading.... its a new kernel issue..... perfect...
[05:51] <wols> !opera
[05:51] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[05:51] <adcurtin> Is HFS+ a kernel madule in the feisty live cd, or is it compiled into the kernel?
[05:52] <stonerrob421> tajmox....give me just a few minutes let me reboot into the ubuntu dapper live cd and ill try to explain the best i can......im running off of knoppix 5.1 live cd now...ill be back in 5 min
[05:52] <oipat> wols: I'm mildly retarded when it comes to networking. I encountered a problem while at work, the wireless admin-guy told me that the current setup was using "Key Index 2" or something, and he didn't know how to activate that on linux. How can I resolv that ?
[05:52] <TaJMoX> i wont be here but try by yourself - i never needed any grub help and have had lots of problems with it
[05:52] <vivi_> i have choose the Chinese option ,but the GUI of opera is still for english ?
[05:52] <wols> oipat: WEP?
[05:53] <TaJMoX> the next question someone asks my answer is going to be: Google.com
[05:53] <Naisenu> Anyone know how I can get my sound card back.... I was working with groups and trying to get my NTFS drive read/writable and now I don't have sound.
[05:53] <oipat> wols: I guess so, that was ubuntu 6.06 btw. using fiesty now..
[05:53] <stonerrob421> ive worked on it for 3 days look at my post @ ubuntuforums.org
[05:53] <wols> Naisenu: are you in group audio?
[05:53] <n2diy_> TaJMoX: what would we learn from that answer? :)
[05:53] <vmbrussel> Anybody have some recommendations for alternatives to godaddy for domain name registration? Something more linux friendly.

[05:53] <metbsd> i'm downloading kubuntu dvd

[05:54] <yo2k> wastedfluid: df
[05:54] <wols> oipat: /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools. it's either a setting in /etc/interfaces where you can speciry it all or gnome network manager can do it too in which case I dunno how
[05:54] <TaJMoX> naisenu : cat /etc/group
[05:54] <wastedfluid> yo2k; : ?
[05:54] <wols> wastedfluid: fdisk -l
[05:54] <Naisenu> uhm and my "Administration" section is a whole lot shorter than it should be

[05:54] <wols> Naisenu: groups
[05:54] <TaJMoX> wols : fdisk -l needs sudo
[05:54] <oipat> wols: Ok, thanks. I'll look into that.
[05:55] <n2diy_> wastedfluid: yo2k, df -h is friendlier.
[05:55] <Naisenu> hrm i do not appear to be a part of group audio
[05:55] <wols> wastedfluid: ls -al /dev/hda5
[05:55] <slackmagic> vmbrussel: define linux friendly, all you do it purchase the domain, set up the nameservers, probably change some details about your whereabouts, and that's pretty much it :P
[05:55] <Jamie_Waterloo> QQ: I plan to build a Ubuntu server to host my webserver, and also handle bittorrents. The server will include storage for my downloads, photos, etc. What's the best way for my family Windows XP computer to access the server? I almost wish there was a way to turn the server into a virtual SAN for storage if it's possible.
[05:55] <wols> n2diy_: df -h only shows what's mounted. his problem is he cannot mount...
[05:56] <wastedfluid> wols:  /dev/hda5           11923       12161     1919736   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[05:56] <wastedfluid>  <-- is my fdisk -l for hda5.
[05:56] <wols> Jamie_Waterloo: samba
[05:56] <wastedfluid> wols: if I /sbin/mkswap, it will "mount" - but I can never get swapon -a to work.
[05:56] <wols> wastedfluid: I asked you something
[05:56] <stonerrob421> be bcak in a few mins
[05:56] <wastedfluid> wols: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 5 2007-06-20 19:49 /dev/hda5
[05:56] <vmbrussel> slackmagic, the ceo of godaddy for the longest time refused to allow access to the site via any other browser besides IE. He's anti linux
[05:56] <n2diy_> wols: doesn't df do the same thing? maybe df -a is what he is after?
[05:56] <slackmagic> vmbrussel: and I personally use http://onedomainplace.com/   but then again I haven't looked around for cheaper places for a long time..it works fine for me so i never bothered to look elsewhere
[05:57] <Iberian_Lynx> i have Ubuntu installed on vmware player. i've installed kaffeine on ubuntu, but everytime i try to play a file on kafeine, my X restarts. is it because i'm running Ubuntu on vmware?
[05:57] <wols> n2diy_: no. I told you: only mounted filesystems. his problem is it doesn't mount
[05:57] <Naisenu> if it helps here is the output of the "cat /etc/group": http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26544/
[05:57] <vmbrussel> slackmagic, I'll check it out. how much are you paying with them?
[05:57] <TaJMoX> iberian_lynx you will have to check the log files to see why it crashes
[05:57] <Naisenu> how do i re-add myself to said group?
[05:57] <Iberian_Lynx> TaJMoX, where is X's log file?
[05:57] <slackmagic> vmbrussel: 8.95 - 7.95 depending on the timespan you're paying for
[05:58] <wols> Naisenu: are your chris or kate?
[05:58] <vmbrussel> slackmagic, that's a good price
[05:58] <Naisenu> neither

[05:58] <Iberian_Lynx> thank you TaJMoX
[05:58] <Rober1> can some one help me with this please.
[05:58] <slackmagic> vmbrussel: yep i know :P I looked around a lot back then when I purchased my first domain..and ever since it's always been onedomainplace.com
[05:58] <Floog> ! pastebin
[05:58] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:58] <n2diy_> wols: ok, I must have got my threads crossed, I thought you told him to use df.
[05:59] <wastedfluid>  wols: did you get that last line?
[06:00] <vivi_> thanks ,i have solve the problem
[06:00] <wols> wastedfluid: yes. and since it's there I dunno why swapon says that
[06:00] <TaJMoX> i told you my google method would work
[06:00] <Floog> wols http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26546/plain/ there is what was on the screen
[06:01] <wastedfluid> wols; /dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0 <-- does that look correct for fstab?
[06:01] <firebird619> I have a SB Live 5.1 Digital sound card (Dell) and a 4.1 digital speaker system. I only get sound from the front speakers. I have tried different entries in the ~/.asoundrc file that I came across on the Internet, but none of them helped. What can I do to fix this issue?
[06:01] <wols> Floog: there is nothing by rich...
[06:01] <wols> Floog: *ricoh
[06:01] <Rober1> Hello i need help with my video card settings, i have a Nvidia TNT2 32MB video card which im unable to get OpenGL working with Ubuntu
[06:01] <kravlin> wols: It doesn't even show the non-latin characters anymore.
[06:02] <TaJMoX> slackmagic : everything i've learned about linux was thanks to google.   and before google, there was webcrawler.     anyways, the answer is always out there already if you know how to search.
[06:02] <Floog> wols whats ricoh?
[06:02] <wols> flug: shit. I took you for someone else. very sorry
[06:02] <wols> flug: what is your IP in windows? when you use the router in windows?
[06:02] <n2diy_> kravlin: nine edge down?
[06:03] <wols> flug: e.g. do you use PPPoE?
[06:03] <kravlin> n2diy_ Huh?
[06:03] <wols> Floog: do you use PPPOE? what is your IP when in windows?
[06:03] <wols> kravlin: did it work?
[06:03] <slackmagic> TaJMoX: amen ..the problem is that - I'm not saying everyone - but quite a lot of people just keep coming here for all sorts of questions..questions they could find answers for by themselves if they took the efforts...I personally think you learn more by trying to search for an answer rather than just asking for one (besides..it improves your searching skills via google as well)
[06:03] <Jason_P> I need help. I put the ubuntu CD in. The desktop loads. I click install. I choose my language, and then I choose my time zone and im completely stuck from there. How do I go on?
[06:03] <Rober1> hellooo
[06:03] <kravlin> wols: Nope. It just removed those non-latin characters. it now returns nothing.
[06:04] <yo2k> Jason_P: restart your pc
[06:04] <n2diy_> kravlin: your sign of line, about how T.J. Watson was buried?  I'm having a sound issue with Kubuntu 7.04 Everything on ALSA, checked alsamixer, speakers ARE plugged in, don't ask, and I even tried compiling a new driver. I AM using an audigy soundcard. Any suggestions?
[06:04] <Floog3> wols: not sure what PPPoE is... how do i check my ip?
[06:04] <Naisenu> How do I readd myself to multiple groups?
[06:04] <yo2k> Floog: sudo ipconfig
[06:04] <yo2k> Floog: sudo ifconfig
[06:04] <wols> Floog3: in windows: ipconfig. PPPOE means a network connection with username and password
[06:05] <kravlin> wols: I did however change the boot order of the disks in my BIOS and the windows partition boots fine.
[06:05] <Flannel> Naisenu: usermod -G [group1,group2,group3]  -a username (DONT forget the -a)
[06:05] <metbsd> ppp on ethernet
[06:05] <wols> Floog3: he asks about windows.... his problem is he can't get his 2wire router/modem to work in ubunut... I doubt he's in ubunut right now...
[06:05] <kravlin> so why don't i just point grub to the start of the disk?
[06:05] <Naisenu> Flannel, do the groups have to be in the square brackets?
[06:05] <n2diy_> kravlin: yep, sorry.
[06:05] <Flannel> Naisenu: no, group1,group2,group3
[06:05] <Jason_P> yo2k: after I restart my PC, what do I do?
[06:05] <wols> kravlin: you can
[06:06] <wols> kravlin: (hdX)
[06:06] <Naisenu> Flannel, ty for the clarification
[06:06] <TaJMoX> slackmagic : irc support should be used for quick problems - or as a last resort - like for example: "What's the command to do x"  or  "I have looked everywhere, how do I get x to work with y?"
[06:06] <confusedrandomne> wols: why configure on windows?.. shouldnt config be done via web interface on the 2wire box?
[06:06] <n2diy_> Floog: nine edge down?
[06:06] <yo2k> Floog: you can start a new os now...
[06:06] <kravlin> wols: yeah. Will that cause any major problems?
[06:06] <stonerrob420> ok im back
[06:06] <yo2k> Jason_P: you can start a new os now...
[06:06] <stonerrob420> and booted from dapper live cd
[06:06] <wols> confusedrandomne: he cannot get on the net via ubuntu.. if he could access the box, je wouldn't be here I'd say
[06:06] <Jason_P> yo2k: Do I take the CD out after restart?
[06:06] <TaJMoX> not something like "I need vmware server to connect to my Mac server and then share files with my windows computers, how do I do this?"
