[19:55] <airtonix> tomco, but in some instances for example the webserver files found at : /var/www you may have a setup there that requires you to allow write access to other users in your development enviroment
[19:55] <tomco> ugh my system is not responding to that
[19:55] <amanulla> tomco:do u wish not to even select shutdown from display but just a key which will shutdown your system.........
[19:56] <airtonix> tomco, this is ofcourse just an example
[19:56] <tomco> the system is really jacked up
[19:56] <tomco> i am trying to reboot it remotely
[19:56] <airtonix> webfarmer, so i have been corrected that the recursive switch is -R not -r
[19:56] <tomco> ctr-alt-del, no response.   the reboot icon is gone.. so are the applications ones... and the taskbars at the bottom
[19:56] <phantomcircuit> hey guys quick question here
[19:56] <Teisei> jim_p: What does that mean ? I have Intel GMA 950 and I use the latest Intel drivers
[19:57] <indian_munnda> NiKeCRu666: someone told me miro can do that but i didn't installed that. Have u tried that
[19:57] <ejer> tomco: try ctrl-alt-backspace
[19:57] <amanulla> tomco:is for alt+ctrl+del    system is not responding
[19:57] <Teisei> jim_p: This problem disappears if I turn Compiz on and off for a few times
[19:57] <phantomcircuit> my microphone input is being relayed back through my headphones
[19:57] <airtonix> webfarmer, but honestly on a live webserver, you wouldnt change ownership of the webserver files...instead you would insert yourself in to the www-data user group
[19:57] <NiKeCRu666> indian_munnda, nope, but i cant try =)
[19:57] <tomco> ctr-alt-backspace and ctr-alt-del both no response
[19:57] <indian_munnda> NiKeCRu666: :)
[19:57] <NiKeCRu666> indian_munnda, thnks
[19:57] <KillGuta> how do I sudo file transfer?
[19:57] <jim_p> Teisei: i think the vga is too weak to do all sorts of these effects
[19:57] <airtonix> tomco, have you tried using hte magic sysreq combo?
[19:58] <KillGuta> I currently can't move stuff in the home directory
[19:58] <indian_munnda> tomco: ctrl-alt-f1
[19:58] <cruddpuppet> What is a name of the command-line browser
[19:58] <tomco> air: no
[19:58] <jim_p> Teisei: (can you give me a link for the wallpaper?)
[19:58] <indian_munnda> tomco: then sudo init 2
[19:58] <lli> how would one get windows live messenger to install via wine?
[19:58] <Teisei> jim_p: I can send it to you
[19:58] <amanulla> tomco:do u mean cant u see shutdown icon there?
[19:58] <tomco> indian: i tried that.. but since i am VNC i cant get to a non-X session
[19:58] <lli> due to its f**king installer, it becomes a real pain
[19:58] <airtonix> tomco, hold alt + print screen and type r
[19:58] <tomco> amanulla: yeah no shutdown icon
[19:58] <ejer> lli: there are alternate linux programs you could use...
[19:59] <KillGuta> I currently can't move stuff in the home directory
[19:59] <jim_p> Teisei: ok
[19:59] <lli> yes there are
[19:59] <lli> i still prefer msn
[19:59] <indian_munnda> tomco: then do one thing press reset :)
[19:59] <lli> actually no i cant be bothered with the hastle
[19:59] <tomco> hmm ok so i hit alt, printscreen and then r all at once.. no go..

[20:01] <user321> i have just installed fglrx driver from ati site, but when X start the resoultion is very slow, and fglrxinfo say no direct rendering is supported, and i have followed the instructions from the ubuntu ati/binary webpage, what could i do?
[20:01] <tomco> how are u supposed to type and hold those keys! lol
[20:01] <airtonix> tomco,     ALT + SysReq + e : terminates all processes
[20:01] <tomco> terminate but not reboot?
[20:01] <soundray> tomco: use some sort of weight on the PrintScreen key
[20:01] <airtonix> tomco,  yeah bit hard...but good thing is you cant accidentally press them
[20:01] <ejer> its supposed to be hard to do tomco :) follow info ubotto gave
[20:02] <airtonix> tomco, ALT + SysReq + b : reboots
[20:02] <KillGuta> I currently can't move stuff in the home directory
[20:02] <airtonix> tomco, ALT + SysReq + i : Kill’s all processes that weren’t terminated nicely.
[20:02] <KillGuta> any help please?
[20:02] <airtonix> tomco,  ALT + SysReq + u : Remounts all filesystems as read only.
[20:02] <tomco> does printscreen go over vnc? i am having no luck
[20:03] <airtonix> tomco, ah right...no this is local keyboard only
[20:03] <tomco> ahhh bummer
[20:03] <KillGuta> HOW DO I SUDO FILE TRANSFER!??!?!?
[20:03] <tomco> looks like i need to make sure SSH is open for next time!!
[20:03] <mamo_noob> KillGuta: gksudo nautilus  <-- try this
[20:03] <airtonix> !scp | KillGuta
[20:03] <ejer> KillGuta: you should never need to, what is the problem
[20:04] <KillGuta> ejer I can't do anything in the home folder
[20:04] <airtonix> tomco, can you issue terminal commands on the remote machine?
[20:04] <ejer> in your home folder KillGuta ?
[20:04] <tomco> airtonix: nope.. terminal locked up when i launched it.. after that the application menu locked up
[20:04] <ejer> KillGuta: in terminal do chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser -R
[20:05] <airtonix> tomco, ah well...one more reason not to use vnc when you have ssh -x and freenx
[20:05] <phantomcircuit> Everything I say into my microphone is repeated through the speaker, how can I stop this?
[20:05] <KillGuta> ok will try ejer :0
[20:05] <KillGuta> :)
[20:05] <tomco> airtonix: i dont get why it's so unstable.. i have AMD64 and i switched to 32 bit version because of too many problems... i just setup virtualbox and that all went well.. i was only browsing when it crashed
[20:05] <izibi> netsplit rocks :)
[20:05] <zewm_> Nice.
[20:05] <r3dd0> hez
[20:05] <phantomcircuit> Everything I say into my microphone is repeated through the speaker, how can I stop this?
[20:05] <airtonix> tomco, vnc you mean? i very much dislike it
[20:06] <r3dd0> could you help me for a minute, setting up my grub?
[20:06] <r3dd0> http://paste2.org/p/80856
[20:06] <r3dd0> always get an error 22
[20:06] <tomco> airtonix: i've never had problems with vnc..
[20:06] <tomco> airtonix: ubuntu has been good overall but lately unstable
[20:06] <tomco> in general..
[20:06] <tomco> 8.04
[20:06] <airtonix> phantomcircuit, have you tried playing with the mixer controls you get when you right click on the volume control applet in the gnome-panel and choose "volume controls"
[20:07] <KillGuta> ejer it says that I don't have administrative rights even with sudo
[20:07] <amanulla> tomco:if so go for sudo shutdown -h now
[20:07] <MrObvious> Whee!
[20:07] <amanulla> check it once
[20:07] <airtonix> tomco, vnc is a pain in the rear no matter which os it runs on
[20:07] <amanulla> imn ot sure
[20:07] <hydroponic> How do I disable Focus Stealing Prevention?
[20:07] <hydroponic> I am not using Compiz
[20:07] <ejer> KillGuta: sounds like some stuff has been messed with ;)
[20:07] <hydroponic> (gnome
[20:07] <hydroponic> )
[20:07] <FloodBot2> hydroponic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:07] <phantomcircuit> airtonix, yes i have but all i can do is mute the microphone or mute the speaker
[20:07] <KillGuta> ejer I actually didn't do anything :D
[20:07] <tomco> amanulla: nah i cant run a command...  the last thing i was able to do was browse the filesystem with the windows explorer-type thing and i was looking for a shell but that locked up too
[20:07] <sytxr> I have a binary application in a single file which is supposed to print information about partitions a Windows Dynamic Volume(ldminfo). But when I try to run it in a terminal even as root, ubuntu can't seem to find it. I've set it to executable and copied it to my /bin . I even renamed it and tried again.
[20:07] <airtonix> phantomcircuit, ok sorry
[20:08] <KillGuta> yes gksudo nautilus worked!
[20:08] <airtonix> tomco, looks like your left with the powerbutton then.
[20:08] <KillGuta> thank you to whoever said it! :)
[20:08] <ejer> KillGuta: someone did :) you could try booting into recovery mode and do the same chown command (you will be root)
[20:08] <airtonix> tomco, which is less than desirable
[20:08] <tomco> now all i can do is log out, log back in.. and hit switch user.. and i cud probably disconnect the network as that's the only icon running
[20:09] <tomco> airtonix: well i'd try ctr-alt-f1 first at the console
[20:09] <airtonix> tomco, have youtried running xterm instead of the standard gnome-terminal?
[20:09] <tomco> just hoping to reboot remote
[20:09] <tomco> airtonix: the menu system is completely gone
[20:09] <indian_munnda> hello all,i have got a second hand TV tuner card from one of my friend but he has lost the driver cd of the TV tuner card? Do i need a drivers in ubuntu or it is there by default? I have a Adcom TV capture card.
[20:09] <tomco> air: the entire bar at the top is ONLY my user name and the network icon..rest is grey
[20:09] <airtonix> tomco, does alt+f2 produce a run dialouge box?
[20:09] <fx3> tomco, have you tried the raising skinny elephans is uterrly boring ? the talk with kernel through the keyboard?
[20:09] <phantomcircuit> ARGH
[20:09] <tomco> airtonix: nope
[20:09] <monsterdragon13> hello
[20:09] <ejer> fx3: he is remote
[20:10] <fx3> oh dear
[20:10] <tomco> fx3: no but i did try dropping 3 hits of LSD to see if that'd help.. nope.. didnt work..
[20:10] <airtonix> tomco, out of ideas here apart from nuclear power button detonation
[20:10] <sytxr> I enter "./bin/ldminfo" then it just says "bash: ./bin/ldminfo: No such file or directory" . Anyhel/ suggestion ?
[20:10] <l3d> hey there is a way to use the crontab to set a hourly alarm right?
[20:10] <comicinker> sytxr: /bin/./ldminfo
[20:10] <plik> l3d: 'at' is simpler
[20:10] <fx3> tomco, you are in a gui session and cant get to the terminal?
[20:10] <airtonix> tomco, when your system comes back up setup ssh and enable x-forwarding
[20:10] <tomco> fx3: yeah]
[20:10] <badfish> anybody else get black and white videos in hardy?
[20:10] <ejer> l3d: put a script in /etc/cron.hourly/
[20:10] <l3d> plik how so?
[20:10] <monsterdragon13> are u all robots?
[20:11] <fx3> tomco, can you run any programs?
[20:11] <cruddpuppet> (firefox-bin:12895): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:  <-- How do I fix it? I can't exactly use google to solve this problem...
[20:11] <NiKeCRu666> yes
[20:11] <tomco> fx3: nope
[20:11] <pallu> hello all of you
[20:11] <airtonix> !hi
[20:11] <monsterdragon13> o
[20:11] <tomco> fx3: trash can..lol
[20:11] <pallu> how can i compile my kernel?
[20:11] <comicinker> monsterdragon13: yes
[20:11] <NiKeCRu666> monsterdragon13, yes we all are robots
[20:11] <hydroponic> How can I disable Focus Stealing Prevention? Gnome/metacity..
[20:11] <fx3> tomco, then if you cant get to a terminal, or exectute a line of code in a script, theres no way
[20:11] <NiKeCRu666> monsterdragon13, just kiddin
[20:11] <NiKeCRu666> :D
[20:11] <indian_munnda> !kernel
[20:11] <monsterdragon13> lol
[20:11] <airtonix> tomco, can you edit a text file on the desktop ?
[20:11] <dr_willis> badfish,  ive heard of a similer bug mentioned befor - dependiong on video card/drivers issues..  Youmight want to check the forums.
[20:12] <ejer> cruddpuppet: where/how is this happening
[20:12] <monsterdragon13> how do u send messages to other people?
[20:12] <tomco> airtonix: right click has no effect ont he desktop.. i have no other way of launching a text editor
[20:12] <fsmmls> Hello.. could someone help me with updating my courier-pop3 SSL certificate? I made a new certificate, but when I try to connect, I still see the old one
[20:12] <sytxr> I tried, comicinker, but still doesn't work. And I did set it to executable.
[20:12] <dr_willis> cruddpuppet,  be sure you are running the app as the user that started up X. thats a common message when you mistakenly use sudo, and not gksu to run  grahical apps.
[20:12] <airtonix> tomco, can you transfer files to the remote computer from the one your on now?
[20:12] <indian_munnda> monsterdragon13: Just write the person name before the msg to which u wanna send the msg
[20:12] <cruddpuppet> ejer: Firefox crashed a few minutes ago (I began to re-arrange tabs, firefox lagged) I switched to command line tty6 or whatever, killed it from there
[20:12] <cruddpuppet> now it won't start
[20:13] <Scunizi> !tab | monsterdragon13
[20:13] <tomco> airtonix: is that possible via VNC? I really doubt it... the ONLY port the firewall lets through is VNC
[20:13] <cruddpuppet> dr_willis: I tried running it as both root and my current account to no avail
[20:13] <sytxr> If it wasn't actually executable, maybe because it is 32 bit and my ubuntu is 64 bit(shouldn't it work anyway?), would it still say "No such file or directory" ?
[20:13] <tburrell> hey everyone... trying to create an ad-hoc wireless network here with network-manager.  After I type in the details network manager just shows the spinny icon thing forever and if I hover the mouse over it I see "attempting to connect to network ('null'" -- anyone know how I can create an adhoc wireless network with hardy?
[20:13] <ejer> cruddpuppet: try logging out and back in?
[20:13] <airtonix> tomco, i was thinking either network file transfer ...seperatly from vnc
[20:13] <cruddpuppet> ejer: K, gonna try that. Any other possible solutions before I do?
[20:13] <tomco> airtonix:  nope but tonite SSH will be open! lol
[20:13] <comicinker> sytxr: maybe you mix l and I ?
[20:13] <monsterdragon13> indian_sunnda ?
[20:14] <monsterdragon13> nvm
[20:14] <airtonix> tomco, ah ok no transfers...when you open the trashcan are you able to change the location ?
[20:14] <ejer> cruddpuppet: that is first thing I would try
[20:14] <monsterdragon13> bye
[20:14] <CC0> is it possible to send a file from a windows ssh client to a linux ssh server? I set up an sshd on my linux laptop and have securecrt/putty on my win xp machine
[20:14] <ironfoot_495> how do I install ubuntu server on to ASUPS DSVB-D Server???
[20:14] <indian_munnda> monsterdragon13: bye
[20:14] <ejer> CC0: get winscp
[20:14] <airtonix> tomco, or does firefox open up?
[20:14] <tburrell> CC0: try winscp, or some sftp / scp type transfer program
[20:14] <fx3> CC0, only if you download something like winSCP
[20:14] <airtonix> tomco, i forgot you cant launch....doh
[20:14] <ejer> CC0: actually, filezilla is better
[20:14] <tomco> airtonix: cant start firefox...  right click menu works on trash but not open
[20:14] <tburrell> CC0: filezilla sucks
[20:15] <CC0> ok, thanks :]
[20:15] <ejer> try them both CC0 - i think you will see ;)
[20:15] <amanulla> how can i mount a .iso file any command?
[20:15] <dr_willis> !iso
[20:15] <amanulla> from terminal?
[20:15] <airtonix> tomco, ok i was thinking that maybe you could create a script on your current machine and download it somehow by manipualting a program on the remote via vnc...
[20:15] <tburrell> ejer: haha it really is good avice to try both :)
[20:15] <enl810d> Does anyone here know if we can run/assemble mips code from the terminal?
[20:15] <shepherd> ok when i do the cube desktop thing, is there a way to set it so when i look at the cube it doesn't snap onto a desktop?
[20:16] <comicinker> amanulla: yes
[20:16] <tomco> what about the login window when still locked out? i can still get there..
[20:16] <dr_willis> airtonix,  if he can get to the console, he could start a X editor that would appear on his Desktop from there. he would have to Export the proper DISPLAY, then run the app.
[20:16] <airtonix> tomco, what sessions are available in the session chooser?
[20:16] <sytxr> nope, didn't confuse lowercase i and lowercase L , i even just renamed it "someprogram", to be sure, same error
[20:16] <Pici> shepherd: #compiz-fusion is the best place to ask about specific compiz options.
[20:16] <amanulla> over here  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> in place of iso-fill name do i have to give path of .iso file?
[20:16] <airtonix> dr_willis, can you assist in that aspect?
[20:17] <Cosmo-san> is there a simple way to split gedit into two colums?
[20:17] <mettao87> hi. i'm trying to install the driver asla on my notebook asus a6va. when i do make i have this problem: http://pastebin.com/m39e8c402.... what can i do?
[20:17] <tomco> airtonix: session chooser logged in is gone.   i CAN use cube rotate (compiz) to rotate to another screen.. but that doesnt help
[20:17] <tomco> when logged out i have "leave message" "switch user" "cancel" "unlock"
[20:17] <dragonf1> amanulla: depends in wich directory you are
[20:17] <ejer> tomco: i missed it, does alt-f2 work?
[20:17] <airtonix> tomco, very interesting...so you cant run apps, you cant use the desktop menu, you cant access a terminal...
[20:17] <tomco> ejer: no
[20:17] <comicinker> sytxr: what does ls -l | grep someprogram show?
[20:18] <airtonix> tomco, but you can logout and in...whatelse can you do?
[20:18] <tomco> airtonix: you got it..
[20:18] <airtonix> tomco, power buttin time i think
[20:18] <enl810d> Does anyone here use their *nix box for MIPS programming?
[20:18] <airtonix> tomco, oh wait...
[20:18] <tomco> airtonix: i can work the network icon.. see the right click menu of trash.. and click my name on the menu bar to switch user
[20:18] <amanulla> dragonf1:my .iso file is in desktop
[20:18] <amanulla> then what to give?
[20:18] <tomco> airtonix: i cant LOG OUT
[20:18] <ejer> tomco: can you add to panel?
[20:19] <amanulla> dragonf1:then what to give?
[20:19] <airtonix> tomco, can you right click the space wher the panel would be and have the menu for that?
[20:19] <tomco> airtonix: but i can just drop VNC
[20:19] <tomco> airtonix: come back and it asks for password
[20:19] <ironfoot_495> how do I install ubuntu server on to ASUS DSVB-D Server???
[20:19] <sytxr> comicinker: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24076 2002-08-09 12:40 someprogram
[20:19] <sytxr> mmmh, 2002, that's quite old
[20:19]  * airtonix really dislikes vnc
[20:19] <ejer> ironfoot_495: what is that and why is it hard to install on it
[20:20] <kho_zhi> !g ubuntu
[20:20] <comicinker> sytxr: and what does show >> file /bin/someprogram ?
[20:20] <kho_zhi> !g kchmviewer
[20:20] <ironfoot_495> ejer: because I'm using a adaptec SCSI card and it does'nt see it ??
[20:20] <dragonf1> amanulla: so the you open terminal, it usually start in oyur home directory so the path is Desktop/<name of the .iso> ,or if oyu are new to the terimnal I can give a bit mor troughout description
[20:20] <kho_zhi> !g script
[20:21] <Pici> kho_zhi: What are you trying to do?
[20:21] <dooglus> it doesn't know !g for google
[20:21] <amanulla> !wiki ubuntu
[20:21] <sytxr> it shows: /bin/someprogram: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[20:21] <airtonix> kho_zhi, remoe the g from your bang commands
[20:21] <kho_zhi> okok
[20:21] <dooglus> !wiki
[20:21] <airtonix> kho_zhi, remove*
[20:21] <Pici> !msgthebot | airtonix kho_zhi
[20:21] <ejer> ironfoot_495: is that card supported?
[20:21] <tomco> airtonix: well i think it's really dead now.. when i reconnect via vnc it just gives a black screen.. can connect/disconnect as often as i wish tho
[20:21] <x3o> hey, gnome-appearance has a bug, it doesnt close properly and consumes a lot of cpu usage
[20:22] <Infinito-> !g gnochm
[20:22] <airtonix> tomco, time to power down and investigate freenx or pure ssh x forwarding
[20:22] <Infinito-> !gnochm
[20:22] <Infinito-> eerr
[20:22] <ironfoot_495> ejer: Yes I have a cd but it setup for Raid and I only have one SCSI DISK?
[20:22] <airtonix> tomco, if you use ssh x forwarding...you can still provide windows users access with the windows software : xming
[20:22] <comicinker> sytxr: if it doesn't start by typing >>/bin/./someprogramm , I don't know
[20:23] <amanulla> dragonf1/:im new to terminal
[20:23] <amanulla> how can i?
[20:23] <amanulla> can u plss?
[20:23] <ironfoot_495> Well let me try and set it up for Raid even though it only has one disk maybe it will see the drive then.
[20:23] <ejer> !fakeraid | ironfoot_495
[20:24] <amanulla> !mount
[20:24] <comicinker> sytxr: you are sure you have an intel cpu?
[20:24] <fx3> amanulla, what problems are you having?
[20:24] <movedx> How does one repair a Ubuntu installation? I have a seperate partition for my '/' mount point, a 2gB swap partition and the rest is mounted to '/home'. How do I repair '/' using an installation CD in the event I ever need too?
[20:24] <sytxr> Thank you already, for the effort so far, comicinker. >>/bin/./someprogram doesn't show an error anymore. Even though I don't know what the >> does
[20:24] <tomco> airtonix: well i think vnc over ssh would probably work too.. cuz then i cud at least SSH in when this happens and type "sudo reboot"!
[20:24] <kho_zhi> Pici, any linux forum ? I want to ask about Linux enterprise wif oracle
[20:25] <ejer> movedx: you just reinstall to / format / only and tell partitioner that home is there and not to format it
[20:25] <unimatrix9> is there an openoffice viewer , that i can run to show impress files?
[20:25] <sytxr> Not really intel, but AMD 64 bit
[20:25] <amanulla> fx3:i want to mount a .iso file in my present in my desktop i need command to type in terminal
[20:25] <airtonix> tomco, when you run ssh x forwarding you wont need vnc
[20:25] <fsmmls> Hello.. could someone help me with updating my courier-pop3 SSL certificate? I made a new certificate, but when I try to connect, I still see the old one
[20:25] <kho_zhi> i mean any chatroom
[20:25] <airtonix> tomco, it becomes pointless
[20:25] <sytxr> shouldn't it be intel 386 compatible ?
[20:25] <ejer> tomco: vnc over ssh is best wareally
[20:25] <tomco> airtonix: yeah but what kind of client do i need?
[20:25] <comicinker> sytxr: the the executable won't work
[20:25] <sytxr> oh, ok
[20:25] <airtonix> tomco, thats the beauty...you wont need one
[20:25] <tomco> ejer: huh :"wareally"?
[20:25] <dooglus> amanulla: mkdir /tmp/iso; mount file.iso /tmp/iso
[20:25] <movedx> ejer: I did just that, but I still lost all the applications I installed. My '/home' partition was left in good order.
[20:25] <kho_zhi> #linux
[20:25] <ejer> tomco: way really sorry
[20:25] <comicinker> and the ">>" should only show the beginning of a command, not to written ;)
[20:25] <airtonix> tomco, you already have it : its called the X11 display server
[20:25] <Cosmo-san> is there a simple way to split gedit into two columns?
[20:26] <tomco> airtonix: link on this?
[20:26] <airtonix> tomco, ok one sec
[20:26] <fx3> amanulla, mounting an iso is just like mounting a real harddrive, so: firt you need to make a mount point, just a simple directory, mkdir /media/cdimage
[20:26] <ejer> movedx: yes, all apps will need to be reinstalled, all settings will be preserved
[20:26] <tomco> airtonix: nah i'm at work... Vista
[20:26] <NoMax> Hello can I install an RPM package in Ubuntu?
[20:26] <kudak> anyone have any idea why in every 10-15min the DNS servers i add are automaticly removed ?
[20:26] <airtonix> tomco, then you want to download and install xming and get putty
[20:26] <sytxr> So thanks again. Problem resolved, probably as much as was possible.
[20:26] <ejer> Cosmo-san: not really, it is a simple text editor... you could copy/paste into spreadsheet for instance
[20:26] <movedx> ejer: That's a shame, but acceptable. :)
[20:26] <Cosmo-san> there are plugins for it, too
[20:26] <unimatrix9> use alien
[20:26] <unimatrix9> !alien
[20:27] <fx3> amanulla, then you need to mount that iso onto that directory, mount -o loop image.iso /media/cdimage
[20:27] <ejer> movedx: there are ways around it, but software installs are so easy there is no point
[20:27] <ubuntuuser420> okay, I need to find out what the saved password for my wireless network is, I need to distribute it to my other laptop :P
[20:27] <comicinker> sytxr: hopefully
[20:27] <tomco> airtonix: login screen woke up! lol
[20:27] <NoMax> Thanks
[20:27] <airtonix> tomco, xming is a x11 server for windows...and you use putty to create the ssh x forwarding connection which provides you with a ssh tunnel
[20:27] <fx3> amanulla, you say that your image is in desktop, so, cd to desktop, 'cd Desktop' and use the command above
[20:27] <movedx> ejer: They might be easy, but they're also time consuming. This especially true if you've installed a lot of stuff for software development etc.
[20:27] <fx3> amanulla, are you following ?
[20:28] <ubuntuuser420> is there a specific networking channel for ubuntu?
[20:28] <amanulla> i cant get all those commands
[20:28] <ubuntuuser420> okay, I need to find out what the saved password for my wireless network is
[20:28] <ejer> movedx: you can restore them with a script easily, and use a DVD for repo if you want... but, what would be point of reinstalling unless fresh apps were installed?
[20:28] <movedx> ejer: I've requested 'apt' install: vlc, seamonkey, vlc, rxvt-unicode and something else I can't remember and it's 308mB.
[20:28] <fx3> amanulla, whats the problem, there is only two commands you need to type
[20:28] <airtonix> tomco, once you have your ssh tunnel, you run xming which sits in the system tray...then you connect to the remote terminal in putty and run any gui command you want...for example...just run nautilus which will boot up the desktop
[20:28] <orgthingy> hello
[20:28] <ejer> yep movedx
[20:28] <mindframe->  does evolution work with outlook calendar events?
[20:28] <orgthingy> Fama IM (terminal) doesnt have man pages
[20:28] <movedx> ejer: You could re-install core libs and revert the kernel back?
[20:29] <orgthingy> so, anyone knows how to use it?
[20:29] <amanulla> because im new to ubuntu
[20:29] <amanulla> fx3:plss give me a line
[20:29] <amanulla> so that i can type in terminal
[20:29] <fx3> amanulla, pm me if you like, the channel can be a little busy
[20:29] <airtonix> tomco, i will get some pages for you to read on the topic
[20:29] <orgthingy> because tmscn (or whatever its called) isnt working anymore
[20:29] <orgthingy> and famam looks more exciting
[20:29] <fx3> amanulla, i cannot, i do not know where your image is, and what filename it has
[20:29] <ejer> movedx: you can do any of this, it just needs to be setup... and you can reinstall any program at any time without reformatting anyways
[20:29] <ubuntuuser420> I need to find out what the saved password for my wireless network is
[20:29] <ejer> movedx: aptitude reinstall bla
[20:30] <movedx> ejer: Basically, I installed VirtualBox and the relevant Kernel module, and when I rebooted my graphics card was no longer detected, my sound had failed and my 22" widescreen monitor was in 640x480 resolution; in this instance it's easier to repair the core libs and the Kernel than try and resolve the issue manually.
[20:30] <airtonix> tomco, http://blandname.com/2006/10/19/manage-linux-workstations-using-xming/
[20:30] <movedx> ejer: Yes. I guess I need to learn the tools available to me and I could have resolved the issue.
[20:30] <ejer> movedx: there is no way the core libs or kernel were changed, it is a config issue
[20:30] <airtonix> tomco, http://www.tjansson.dk/?p=163
[20:30] <Cyde> What preference do I need to modify to change the default browser that xdg-open uses?
[20:31] <airtonix> tomco, http://www.ax697.org/xming-with-windows-xp-and-ubuntu-200749.html
[20:31] <ejer> !update-alternatives | Cyde
[20:31] <movedx> ejer: It was a Kernel module that was installed. Perhaps you're right. But I see no reason for VirtualBox to edit the 'xorg.conf' file, and remove sound? Why?
[20:31] <ejer> movedx: i can assure you it did not
[20:31] <Terabyte> hey, I just installed ubuntu (I have vista, and xp somewhere too, but i'm more interested in getting vista back up), and grub says "error 22", it's just this minute been installed
[20:32] <airtonix> tomco, this page shows xming being used on vista : http://www.tjansson.dk/?p=163
[20:32] <dr_willis> I like xming, its a handy tool
[20:32] <Cyde> ejer: Ah, I found it inside System Settings -> Default Applications
[20:32] <Terabyte> i'm currently booted into ubuntu live, if i need to make changes, can you tell me what I should do?
[20:32] <tomco> airtonix: thanks!    so right click doesnt work at all on bar, background or taskbar anymore... i think trash is dead now too.. but network and switch user still up
[20:32] <ejer> Cyde: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser is the terminal way
[20:33] <airtonix> tomco, yeah i ran a web development training group for about three years, and i had some of the machines running ubuntu feisty...
[20:33] <movedx> ejer: Then I guess I leave you with one simple (to ask) question: why did my nVidia driver(s) fail and why did my sound card suddenly become non-existant? There's no valid explanation to this from your reasoning, except the Kernel module installed during the VirtualBox installation somewhere messed with something.
[20:33] <airtonix> tomco, i wanted the windows users to use gedit so i used xming to serve it up to them....it was great
[20:33] <thomc> My firestarter events log shows a series of blocked attempts to access different ports by the same IP over a short space of time - is that someone portscanning me?
[20:34] <Cyde> ejer: Ah, so there's a bunch of symlinks in /etc/alternatives/ .  Neat.  I was not aware of this.
[20:34] <ejer> movedx: cause you made a mistake most likely
[20:34] <ejer> Cyde: ya it is pretty cool way to do it
[20:34] <airtonix> tomco, apparently though freenx is a compressed version of ssh x-forwarding and has even better peformancs...people report great results even over dial up
[20:34] <mettao87> hi guys, i have this problem, http://pastebin.com/m36fb1644, with a make command.
[20:34] <Cyde> ejer: Do you know if this is also where I specify my default sound system?  So far, I haven't yet been able to get pulseaudio starting automatically with KDE.
[20:34] <ejer> using vnc you can achieve same thing, use -encodings tight
[20:34] <Gin> I just installed a new HD and formated it to Ext3. how do I allow a user to have full access (read/write/execute/ ) to this drive?
[20:34] <Last1024> looking to determine if 3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC is supported by ubuntu, searched www.ubuntuhcl.org, no results, recommendations to other locations to search would be appreciated
[20:34] <fx3> airtonix, its one hell of a pain to set up however
[20:35] <airtonix> fx3, freenx?
[20:35] <ejer> no Cyde not there...
[20:35] <fx3> airtonix, indeed
[20:35] <Gin> and does Ext3 support 1TB?
[20:35] <airtonix> fx3, mmm probably why i have yet to use it...
[20:35] <movedx> ejer: That's not something I haven't consider, though it wouldn't be me that made the mistake, more apt. Simply installing VB using "apt-get install virtualbox" hardly makes it my fault.
[20:35] <fx3> airtonix, but i do attest that its blazingly fast, using very little bandwidth
[20:35] <airtonix> gin : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[20:36] <movedx> ejer: If the application isn't supported correctly, then that's also not my fault. besides, you've answered my question now, thanks for your time.
[20:36] <airtonix> fx3, makes vnc look really bad....but i still see one or two out of a million possible uses for vnc...
[20:36] <ejer> no prob movedx and fyi I have nvidia and have run vbox for a long time, installed through apt
[20:36] <phantomcircuit> Is there speech recognition software i can run under ubuntu? sim looking for somethign like dragon naturally speaking
[20:36] <tomco> airtonix: oh well maybe next time.. anyone know of any Public DNS servers?
[20:36] <airtonix> tomco, dyndns
[20:36] <ejer> phantomcircuit: it is nowhere close to dragon, but there does exist some
[20:37] <tomco> airtonix (next time on fixing this)
[20:37] <airtonix> tomco, ubuntu has ddclient in the repos for updating the ip
[20:37] <ejer> phantomcircuit: however, older dragon version run in wine apparently
[20:37] <Cyde> ejer: So these symlinks are read by my shell?  I'm finding many symlinks in /etc/alternative that I use on a somewhat regular basis ..
[20:37] <movedx> ejer: I personally think my mistake was using the restricted drivers that come with Ubuntu. I should have used EnvyNG, which is what I've done this time around.
[20:37] <tomco> airtonix: oh no not that..
[20:37] <tomco> airtonix: our site is setup on opendns and i need to get to a site that is blocked
[20:37] <airtonix> tomco, oh you men like opendns?
[20:37] <Last1024> where can i find a hcl website?
[20:37] <Cyde> ejer: Or maybe not, the ones I access from the shell seem to have symlinks in /usr/bin/ ...
[20:37] <airtonix> tomco, have you tried using tor and privoxy?
[20:38] <ejer> movedx: could be but I use restricted drivers... there are many things at play
[20:38] <tomco> airtonix: no does that require signup
[20:38] <airtonix> tomco, not from memory
[20:38] <tomco> airtonix: i shud just be able to hardcode dns.. but dont know what to set it to
[20:38] <airtonix> tomco, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Privoxy
[20:38] <ejer> Cyde: man update-alternatives is a good place to start
[20:38] <movedx> ejer: I think I'll just use VMWare - more support and more functionality! ;)
[20:38] <ejer> good luck movedx :)
[20:39] <airtonix> tomco, I gotta go afk for while...
[20:39] <tomco> airtonix: k thx for all your help!
[20:39] <dooglus> Cosmo-san: I was trying to find a text editor where you can split into two columns
[20:40] <dooglus> Cosmo-san: I didn't find any, other than emacs22
[20:40] <ejer> like to compare 2 files? you could use diff
[20:40] <Generic6552> Speaking of VMWare, I'd like to try running Kubuntu in a virtual machine under Ubuntu, but I'm a little overwhelmed with the myriad options of Qemulator, especially in regard to partitions and thus data loss.
[20:40] <Cosmo-san> dooglus: there is a plugin here: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins/ColumnMode
[20:41] <dooglus> Cosmo-san: oh, cool
[20:41] <Cosmo-san> dooglus: I extracted it but can't get it to show in the plugin tab
[20:41] <NiCK_NaME> Thiebaude: hey man you know ANYTHING about how to auto mount your CD ROM drive and EXTERNAL HardDrives in ubuntu 8.04 ?
[20:41] <Cosmo-san> off to classu~  work on it later.
[20:41] <thiebaude> generic6552:you consider dual-booting?
[20:41] <ejer> Generic6552: try virtualbox it is very easy
[20:41] <thiebaude> Nick_name:i know nothing about that
[20:42] <Generic6552> thiebaude:  It would be triple-booting in my case, but no.  I'm wary of doing a partition, which is why I'd much rather use a virtual-machine.
[20:42] <NiCK_NaME> Thiebaude: you know anyone who might im stuck dude
[20:42] <dooglus> Cosmo-san: I'll look at it
[20:42] <Generic6552> ejer:  Ah, I'll have a look at SPM then, one moment...
[20:42] <Gin> I just formated the new hd drive I installed and my system shows that there are already 7.5GB used. why? I haven/t put naything on it yet
[20:42] <thiebaude> nick_name:i sure don't
[20:42] <ejer> !mount | NiCK_NaME
[20:43] <ejer> !fstab | NiCK_NaME
[20:43] <thiebaude> gerneric6552:since you said 3 OS's then i would agree with you
[20:43] <ejer> what is the issue NiCK_NaME
[20:43] <zcat[1]> I'm using virtualbox, makes it really insanely easy to set up a virtual machine... and windows is running faster virtualised that it used to run in the actual hardware, I'm sure...
[20:43] <tomco> can anyone view this site and give me a dns server or two?
[20:43] <tomco> http://www.tech-faq.com/public-dns-servers.shtml
[20:43] <ejer> it does for mw zcat[1]
[20:43] <dooglus> Cosmo-san: doesn't work for me either
[20:43] <thiebaude> all i did was wipe windows and install ubuntu
[20:44] <ejer> tomco:  <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:44] <dryrot> is there a gui for laying out LVM partitions ?
[20:44] <NiCK_NaME> ejer: hey brother... im new as it can get to linux... and i am having a horriable problem...
[20:44] <bombshelter13> Hey, when I resume my laptop from sleep, it now lands on Virtual Terminal 8 instead of 7, and when I switch to 7, Network Manager is in it's 'networking disabled' state (though it works fine once I toggle this switch)... anyone have any what the problem might be?
[20:44] <ejer> tell us what is happening nick_name and we may be able to help
[20:44] <NiCK_NaME> ejer: i cannot get my CD ROM drive to mount... and i cannot get my External harddrives to mount via USB
[20:44] <thiebaude> !mount
[20:45] <bombshelter13> nick_name: what was the mount command you used?
[20:45] <ejer> NiCK_NaME: do you see an error
[20:45] <TechPepsi> on a power pc mac, can you partition ubuntu and OSX on the same computer?
[20:45] <danbh_intrepid> !info diskmounter
[20:45] <zcat[1]> btw I gave up using gnewsense, no wireless, fairly crap video support, most flash (games etc) doesn't work, but other than that it was not actually so bad. I should probably write up a blog about it.
[20:46] <Generic6552> I return, having found VirtualBox on SPM (Synaptic).  However, there are a LOT of VirtualBox packages, and I don't know which I need.
[20:46] <NiCK_NaME> ejer: oh god thats a good question... like i said i am totally new to linux, and i was surfing the web for hours now, trying to figure it out... and tried something that worked for some one but it didnt work for me ... i will try to recall   ... wait one...
[20:46] <zcat[1]> .. with the right video and wifi chipset I could probably live with it.
[20:47] <Generic6552> TechPepsi:  I've not attempted such a feat, but I was able to run Ubuntu off of a LiveCD with varied degrees of success.
[20:47] <NiCK_NaME> i did this as far as i can remember or something like it....   $  sudo mkdir /dev/dir/sdb1
[20:47] <NiCK_NaME> or something like it then i used...........
[20:47] <bombshelter13> Nick_name '/dev/dir/sdb1' should probably be more like '/dev/sdb1'
[20:47] <LjL> and shouldn't have a "mkdir" in front of it, anyway.
[20:47] <NiCK_NaME> bombshelter13: yeah i think thats what i did
[20:48] <bombshelter13> and make sure sdb1 is your device, it could easily be sdc1 or sdd1
[20:48] <thiebaude> hi LjL
[20:48] <bombshelter13> ljl: also true
[20:48] <NiKeCRu666> hello, does someone know how to set up a radio?
[20:48] <NiKeCRu666> online radio
[20:48] <ejer> NiCK_NaME: look at http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/gosnautilus-462.html.en
[20:48] <Gin> what is the folder Lost+found for? when formatting a partition I always get that folder created automatically.
[20:48] <NiCK_NaME> but i DID mount my external... but the problem is this... i rebooted and now... its unmounted!!! all that work looking on the net did me NO good... is their a way to auto mount ?
[20:48] <_LoneCrow> heya.. I have ubuntu eee  .. just installed.  But when I insert an sdcard it wont mount it says I must be super user etc.. so how do I tell it to mount it before I plug it in?
[20:49] <LjL> Gin: "lost" files that fsck may find are placed there
[20:49] <thiebaude> nikecru666:you ever use songbird?
[20:49] <ejer> Generic6552: applications>add/remove>search virtualbox, tick box, ok
[20:49] <NiCK_NaME> ejer: okay i will give it a look seee
[20:49] <zcat[1]> Generic6552: virtualbox-ose, and virtualbox-ose-modules for your current kernel (uname -r)
[20:49] <Gin> LjL, but that folder is 7.5Gb
[20:49] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, nope
[20:49] <LjL> Gin: what does it contain?
[20:49] <Generic6552> I thought I'd tried that, but... one moment...
[20:49] <bobertdos> NiCK_NaME: Have people already given you fstab information?
[20:49] <Gin> LjL, nothing
[20:49] <zcat[1]> Generic6552: You may find the most recent kernel doesn't have the modules and you'll need to downgrade a couple of versions
[20:49] <thiebaude> nikecru666:it has plenty of on-line radio stations
[20:49] <bombshelter13> nick_name: things always unmount when you reboot
[20:49] <LjL> Gin: then how can it be 7.5Gb if it's a folder that contains nothing?
[20:50] <bombshelter13> nick_name: the 'mount' command is never ever permanent
[20:50] <bastid_raZor> NiCK_NaME; you need to get the UUID of the drive and add that info to your fstab
[20:50] <NiCK_NaME> bobertdos: like i said im new to linux i have NO clue what fstab is...
[20:50] <ejer> NiCK_NaME: to mount it permanently (these are supposed to be removable disks after all), check out http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[20:50] <thiebaude> !fstab
[20:50] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, not for listening online radio, i mean for being a DJ
[20:50] <xomp> jesus, Firefox's new constant crashing feature sure does it's job well :D
[20:50] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, like winamp and shoutcast server, and shoutcast plugin
[20:50] <LjL> Gin: it's perhaps possible, although i'm not really sure, that it's mapped to bad sectors. what makes you say it's 7.5Gb anyway?
[20:50] <NiCK_NaME> bombshelter13: theirs no way to auto mount ?when boot up ?
[20:50] <ejer> NiKeCRu666: you will want to look at icecast
[20:50] <thiebaude> oh, my bad, nickcru666
[20:51] <bombshelter13> nick_name: yes, there is - look at what ubottu just said about fstab.
[20:51] <Gin> LjL, gparted under used it says 7.5GB and I just formated my 1TB drive
[20:51] <Gin> :\
[20:51] <bombshelter13> nick_name: so there is a way, but the command 'mount' is not that way
[20:51] <NiCK_NaME> okay okay...
[20:51] <ejer> he was never using mount
[20:51] <NiCK_NaME> good to know
[20:51] <Gin> LjL, when mounted the partition, I only see 1 folder, the lost+found folder
[20:51] <LjL> Gin, that's the filesystem overhead, it's not that folder.
[20:51] <NiKeCRu666> ejer, i already have the server, thank you, but i want now a program like winamp and it plugin for transmit music
[20:51] <Gin> LjL, any way to gain back that 7.5GB?
[20:52] <ejer> NiKeCRu666: look at MPD http://www.musicpd.org/
[20:52] <bombshelter13> ejer: he didn't seem sure, and probably was if he did manage to succesfully mount the device
[20:52] <bombshelter13> ejer: how else would he have succesfully mounted the device?
[20:52] <ejer> bombshelter13: ubuntu mounts devices automatically
[20:52] <NiKeCRu666> ejer, ok, i'm on it, ty
[20:52] <LjL> Gin: i suppose specify a number of inodes when doing "mkfs". that's stupid though.
[20:52] <bombshelter13> ejer: gnome does, ubuntu doesn't necessarily do so
[20:52] <NiCK_NaME> Has anyone ran into the problem i am having right now and what commands did you use to solve it ?
[20:53] <LjL> Gin: you've never lost that space to begin with. that space is needed for the filesystem to store metadata.
[20:53] <bombshelter13> ejer: or am i mistaken on that?
[20:53] <ejer> bombshelter13: not worth arguing, but ubuntu comes with gnome

[20:55] <bobertdos> Dillizar: oh, ten? and you don't have sound? that's odd....What version?

[20:56] <Gin> LjL, is it okay to delete the folder lost+found?
[20:56] <NiCK_NaME> ejer: yeah i do and i get a error that says cannot mount drive...

[20:56] <ejer> !grub | Terabyte
[20:56] <greencookie> ejer ok. Ill be back frm the tty
[20:56] <jokibroki> ejer, i m having a problem i see it on my ps3 but it always tells me unsupported file type
[20:56] <Gerrit> I have several vector graphic files in EPS and I want to combine them to make a nice combination (they are logos and I want to create a constellation). What is easy to use software to do this?
[20:56] <bombshelter13> greencookie: do you actually want gnome gone? or just the botting into TTY part?
[20:56] <bombshelter13> too late...
[20:56] <Dillizar> bobertdos: i still dont have sound i am useing 8.04
[20:56] <ejer> jokibroki: i don't have PS3 but you need the software in PS3 to play that type of file
[20:56] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, :O
[20:56] <jokibroki> ps3 already has that file type
[20:57] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, and how about the plug in??? does it work???
[20:57] <jokibroki> because when i had windows vista i was able to play these files
[20:57] <NiKeCRu666> OMG
[20:57] <Generic6553> As you might imagine from temporary absence, I'll have a second question to be asking.  ; )
[20:57] <LjL> Gin: delete it, and you'll see you aren't gaining any space back.
[20:57] <ejer> Gerrit: not 100% sure but I think GIMP can do it, apps>graphics>gimp
[20:57] <Dillizar> bobertdos: i was trying to fix the problem with flash and linux :D and i have made some sh***
[20:57] <Generic6553> Back to business:  Found VirtualBox, but it says its for KDE, can I get it anyway?
[20:57] <thiebaude> nikecru666"im not sure, winamp is a wine downloadable file
[20:57] <bobertdos> bobbyd: In the file browser, go to Edit->Preferences->Media
[20:58] <jokibroki> am i able to use windows media over wine in ubuntu?
[20:58] <thiebaude> nike:i need to check it out, i have wine on my system
[20:58] <Gin> LjL, you are right. I can only use 877GB of the 1TB drive :(
[20:58] <bobertdos> Dillizar: and you're using flash 10?
[20:58] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, i dont want emulate windows with winamp, i have it, but i need a native linux solution
[20:58] <LjL> Gin: and 877+7.5 doesn't even make 1000.
[20:58] <bobbyd> bobertdos: aha! I couldn't find it :)
[20:58] <Gerrit> Can the GIMP preserve vector graphical information?
[20:58] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, you know, is lite hard, i have like 3 years looking for it
[20:58] <greencookie> ok done.
[20:58] <Gin> LjL, then where is the rest ? :\
[20:58] <bobbyd> Dillizar: what problem are you having
[20:59] <Dillizar> bobertdos: i dont know?
[20:59] <bobbyd> Gerrit: Inkscape maybe
[20:59] <zcat[1]> Generic6552: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`
[20:59] <bombshelter13> NikeCru666: xmss is a lot like winamp?
[20:59] <Dillizar> now it doesnt want to play at all
[20:59] <ejer> Gerrit: you will have to try, but there is inkscape as well which is a vector (illustrator type) app
[20:59] <bombshelter13> nikecru666: xmms that is
[20:59] <bobertdos>  bobbyd: Yeah, I have no idea whose idea it was to move it, but........meh
[20:59] <jokibroki> anyone knows if windows media player can be used on WINE
[20:59] <Dillizar> bobertdos: bobbyd now it doesnt want to play at all
[20:59] <LjL> Gin: in units. hard drives are sold with sizes given in decimal multiples of a byte, while computers most often give things in binary multiples of a byte.
[20:59] <Gerrit> Ok
[20:59] <bobbyd> bobertdos: where did it used to be? doesn't seem to be related to the file browser to me (as a user)
[20:59] <ejer> Generic6552: applications>add/remove>search virtualbox, tick box, ok
[20:59] <Gerrit> I will play around with those and maybe OO Draw, thanks.
[20:59] <NiKeCRu666> bombshelter13, i nkow XMMS, even amarok, but i cant trnasmit with XMMS
[21:00] <thiebaude> nike:i loved winamp when i had windows,brb let me see if wine actually let's me run it
[21:00] <greencookie> How can I remove gnome?
[21:00] <zcat[1]> jokibroki: just use beep-media-player, it's a clone of winamp, even takes winamp skins
[21:00] <NiKeCRu666> bombshelter13, i mean, to my radio server
[21:00] <unimatrix9> windows mediaplayers runs with wine yes
[21:00] <thiebaude> brb
[21:00] <turbob> Hallo, schreibt hier Jemand Deutsch?
[21:00] <LjL> !de | turbob
[21:00] <jokibroki> no i need windows media player so i can run my files on my PS3 over media center
[21:00] <bobbyd> greencookie: remove "ubuntu-desktop" in synaptic, or just install kubuntu :)
[21:00] <ejer> zcat[1]: audacious is actually preferred fwik
[21:00] <bombshelter13> nikecru666: ohh, sorry, i may have missed part of the question. i'll quiet down.
[21:00] <unimatrix9> wine info http://frankscorner.org/
[21:00] <NiKeCRu666> bombshelter13, haha dont worry =)
[21:00] <ejer> jokibroki: mplayer can play windows media files
[21:00] <ejer> with correct codecs
[21:01] <bobertdos> bobbyd: Haha, it USED to be in System->Preferences->Removable Media, which makes a whole lot more sense to me too!
[21:01] <ejer> and vlc etc
[21:01] <greencookie> bobbyd: I dont have gdm
[21:01] <NiKeCRu666> bombshelter13, also i suggest that you may use virtualbox instead of wine, cirtualbox is better,(ithink)
[21:01] <greencookie> bobbyd: Just the TTY.
[21:01] <bobbyd> greencookie: "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop"
[21:01] <ejer> greencookie: you can't easily remove it, you need to do it manually
[21:01] <yavapai> greencookie keep gnome
[21:02] <ejer> bobbyd: try that command
[21:02] <bobbyd> greencookie: if you want a minimal system, use the server install
[21:02] <Dillizar> fixed it
[21:02] <bobbyd> ejer: ?
[21:02] <Gin> what is the problem with gnome?
[21:02] <thiebaude> nikecru666:the winamp download wants me to open it with another application
[21:02] <ejer> bobbyd: it does not uninstall anything except the ubuntu-desktop package
[21:02] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, another application?
[21:03] <bastid_raZor> greencookie; on this website goto the Remove Ubuntu Packages section and copy/paste in a terminal. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE
[21:03] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, you mean... a virtual machine?
[21:03] <Terabyte> ejer that didn't help, i havn't lost it to windows, and there's nothing in those links about error 22
[21:03] <bobbyd> ejer: but that depends on a load of stuff right?
[21:03] <thiebaude> nikecru666:no, i need to check it out,brb
[21:03] <ejer> bobbyd: you can try it, I just did
[21:04] <danbh_intrepid> anyone know where /tmp is mounted?
[21:04] <bobbyd> ejer: no thanks, I like my desktop :)
[21:04] <yavapai> last nights cd image booted to white screen no mouse or keyboard
[21:04] <danbh_intrepid> !tmp
[21:04] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, ok
[21:04] <ejer> bobbyd: ok, well it doesn't do anything
[21:04] <drumstyk> msg ubuntu etiquette
[21:04] <bastid_raZor> danbh_intrepid; inside /   .. hence /tmp/
[21:04] <guntbert> danbh_intrepid: that depends on your system, check with mount

[21:06] <danbh_intrepid> bastid_raZor: well, I guess you answered me literally, but not what I was looking for, thanks for trying
[21:06] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, not me =/
[21:06] <bobertdos> LordMetroid: Yes, yes, we know. Just one more month and counting, hold your horses :D
[21:06] <Agent_bob>     how is the nvidia legacy package called ?
[21:06] <bastid_raZor> danbh_intrepid; you could look in your /etc/fstab to see it is mounted elsewhere.
[21:06] <guntbert> danbh_intrepid: that depends on your system, check with mount
[21:06] <blu_ket> hello
[21:07] <danbh_intrepid> guntbert: my /tmp seems to not have any special mounting, why doesnt it?  I thought it was mounted to ram....
[21:07] <bobbyd> ejer: well that must have changed then, it used to work
[21:07] <Agent_bob> bastid_raZor   df   or mount
[21:08] <danbh_intrepid> what is /dev/shm?
[21:08] <Agent_bob> danbh_intrepid not normally.    if /tmp was in ram it would eat all your ram when you mess with dvd's
[21:08] <thiebaude> nikecru666:i did a search on google for winamp, and it says it's also for linux
[21:08] <cannonball> All of a sudden today, Evolution wants some kind of password to unlock the "default keyring".  Any idea what causes that?  (our shared home directory went away for a little while today, it's possible it's related to that).
[21:08] <greencookie> will 'sudo apt-get remove gnome* ' remove all gnome elements installed on my sytem?
[21:08] <NiKeCRu666> :S
[21:08] <cannonball> danbh_intrepid: it's kind of like a ramdisk.
[21:08] <drumstyk> is this the proper place to ask ubuntu questions?
[21:08] <NiKeCRu666> thiebaude, well can i have link?
[21:09] <Agent_bob> !purekde | greencookie
[21:09] <bastid_raZor> greencookie; the link i gave you will completely remove gnome
[21:09] <vallhalla81> hi there i have just reformatted a hard drive on my system i can mount it but cant write to it can any advise please
[21:09] <guntbert> danbh_intrepid: turn your sentence around: always a drive is mounted on a certain mount point (e.g. /dev/sda3 is mounted on /var/log), why did you think that about your /tmp anyway?
[21:09] <danbh_intrepid> Agent_bob: yeah, but right now, it eats at my harddrive giving me horrid performance.  I mean, thats why I have a swap file and all
[21:09] <bobertdos> drumstyk: Yes sir!
[21:09] <thiebaude> !xmms
[21:09] <greencookie> Agent_bob: I don't have KDE
[21:09] <bastid_raZor> greencookie; that link has the list of packages you need to remove. it isn't going to install kde
[21:10] <ejer> danbh_intrepid: if you have enough ram and swap what you have is fine
[21:10] <danbh_intrepid> guntbert: because Brasero uses /tmp for temporary files, and I noticed that even thought I have the WHOLE freaking cd cached in my ram, Brasero hashes the harddrive like crazy, which is BS
[21:10] <thiebaude> i have a little research to do nikecru66, let me grab a heineken,:)
[21:10] <greencookie> oh okay thanks :)
[21:10] <Agent_bob> greencookie removal of gnome is the same reguardless of what you leave behind
[21:10] <ejer> danbh_intrepid: how much ram do you have
[21:10] <greencookie> Thanks Agent_bob looking at it.
[21:10]  * danbh_intrepid asks for a pardon on the language, is just annoyed with brasero

[21:11] <drumstyk> I am attempting to install my tv tuner card on hardy.  I found a guide but it seems to be a little advanced for me to follow. would anyone be willing to help me find where i am going wrong? Also, am i allowed to post the link to the guide i am using here?
[21:11] <Agent_bob> brasero is too blame then.    go configure.
[21:11] <ejer> danbh_intrepid: should be enough, but if you run out it will go into swap, which is very slow - watch top in terminal to see
[21:11] <sledge> i have the MFC Brother DCP-130C
[21:11] <danbh_intrepid> ejer: I figure, that when I burn a cd, my harddrive should never be touched, with that much ram, yet, my harddrive cranks
[21:11] <guntbert> danbh_intrepid: sorry, I know absolutely nothing about brasero, so I might not be the best to help you :)
[21:11] <sledge> anyone else have this printer?
[21:12] <ejer> danbh_intrepid: swap is on your harddrive
[21:12] <Terabyte> I still can't fix error 22 after following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[21:12] <danbh_intrepid> guntbert: well, brasero lets me change where it places its temporary files, can you suggest an alternative location than /tmp?
[21:12] <Generic6552> Progress report:  Fiddling with VirtualBox.
[21:12] <bobertdos> vallhalla81: Be sure it is mounted with read and write permissions and that you are the owner of the drive.
[21:12] <ejer> danbh_intrepid: in your home dir somewhere
[21:12] <sledge> There is a 130C CUPS
[21:13] <sledge> but it doesnt say MFC
[21:13] <vallhalla81> bobertdos: it says root is the owner

[21:13] <danbh_intrepid> guntbert: I was thinking /dev/shm since that is tmpfs?
[21:13] <danbh_intrepid> ejer: come again?
[21:13] <ejer> danbh_intrepid: if /tmp is mounted from /dev/shm - use /home/danbh/braserotmp instead to see

[21:14] <danbh_intrepid> ejer: my /home is mounted to a partition...  I want brasero to stop using the harddrive, and use the ram, which I have plenty of.  Thats what Im trying to do
[21:14] <bobertdos> vallhalla81: aha! Well, for now, you can fix that by going into the directory where the drive is mounted and in the terminal: sudo chown -R <your username>:<your username> <drive directory>
[21:15] <NiCK_NaME> ejer: whats the comand line to get root in the terminal ?
[21:15] <thiebaude> !compile

[21:15] <drumstyk> the "make" command is returning "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop." im assuming i need to point it at a certain file but my guide doesn't mention how
[21:16] <ejer> danbh_intrepid: it won't be unless you did it yourself
[21:16] <NiCK_NaME> ejer: thanks
[21:16] <thiebaude> nikecru666:someone told me compiling a program is a pain in the _

[21:24] <Spoom> hi folks, i'm trying to fix my sound system, which works well enough for most media apps using pulseaudio, but when apps attempt to access ALSA directly, i often get this: ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[21:24] <Spoom> i used to have this problem with gentoo as well, and googling around it seems to be fairly common but with no definitive fix
[21:24] <Terabyte> fdisk /dev/hda unable to open disk???
[21:24] <Terabyte> oh thanks
[21:25] <Spoom> it's intermittent in that sometimes i can close any apps using the sound system and the app i was trying to get working will work again
[21:25] <CKyle22> How can I find out "where" a DVD Drive is?
[21:25] <msikma> Hi there!  I have a wired network at eth0 but apparently it is never used by default...I need to select "wired connection" in the network icon before I'm connected.  How do I fix this?
[21:25] <GoddamnDevil> Terabyte: sudo fdisk -l
[21:25] <CKyle22> Like, how can I tell which drive is /dev/hda1 etc
[21:25] <Agent_bob> Terabyte also   cfdisk  might be more to your liking
[21:25] <Spoom> i'm running ubuntu hardy on amd64 with an hda intel onboard soundcard on my asus G1 laptop
[21:25] <jganetsk> come on #ubuntu, i have faith in you, you can answer my question!
[21:25] <indian_munnda_> Agent_bob: i don't even know which card i m having whether it is analog card or digital. Please help??
[21:25] <Terabyte> thanks GoddamnDevil
[21:25] <Spoom> any ideas?
[21:26] <Spoom> i've tried restarting alsa using /etc/init.d/alsa-tools restart as well as restarting pulseaudio similarly, but that doesn't fix it
[21:26] <ejer> drumstyk: if you are using newest ubuntu the card should work with no extra drivers
[21:26] <bobertdos> CKyle22: sudo mount usually tells you where the actual mountpoints are.
[21:26] <Agent_bob> indian_munnda_   in a terminal type   lshw | less      you will see the hardware infromation,  and the website can then help.

[21:32] <korogiannos> Good evening (morning/afternoon) to all.  I'd like some help with lirc.  I have a bttv (card=120). the buttons on my remote work as /dev/input/event6.
[21:32] <korogiannos> As far as I can see it all works perfectly.  I just want to disable the input being seen as a keyboard (in addition to lirc)
[21:32] <korogiannos> i.e.  I would like to use the power button on my remote, without it being interpreted as a power switch  (event code 116)
[21:32] <korogiannos> any help much appreciated.

[21:35] <Gehaktbal> iam new here
[21:36] <matreya6>  I'm trying to get my SB Live to produce sound, specifically MIDI. I also have a builtin card Analog Devices 1980, as part of my VIA 8237 chipset. I don't get any errors while playing midi files, but no sound whatsoever. All ALSA output channels are maxed out.
[21:36] <matreya6> Hi Gehaktbal, just ask your question
[21:36] <roukoun> Gehaktbal: hi
[21:36] <Gehaktbal> don't have one really
[21:36] <Gehaktbal> is that a problem? :p
[21:36] <matreya6> Gehaktbal, no of course not, you are just checking out the scene?
[21:37] <Gehaktbal> yes
[21:37] <korogiannos> Hi.  Is there a way to ignore /dev/input/event6 as a keyboard? (but still have lirc use it)
[21:37] <Gehaktbal> but i had a problem yesterday while configuring my ubuntu server
[21:37] <Gehaktbal> which i couldn't figure out
[21:37] <Gehaktbal> and in the end it was real simple
[21:37] <Gehaktbal> i was trying to configure ddns
[21:37] <AlexMax> Help!  My Gnome taskbar is frozen.  Every other part of my GNOME desktop works (right clicking on the desktop works for example), but trying to use the Ubuntu menu, switch tasks in the bottom bar, etc. doesnt respond.  What process do i need to kill?
[21:38] <Gehaktbal> and it wouldn't work
[21:38] <Hexbomber> so, I have got the weirdest question ever.... Whenever I try loading the compiz editer application, it pops up in the taskbar at the bottom.. but doesn't show up on the screen.. what do I do? lol
[21:38] <Gehaktbal> in the end it where the hostnames -> bladiable-pc is
[21:38] <matreya6> Gehaktbal, you make me curious, what problem did you have?
[21:38] <Gehaktbal> was not alowed
[21:38] <Gehaktbal> the dash in the name
[21:38] <Gehaktbal> and the only error in the logs was that the forward map failed
[21:38] <matreya6> Gehaktbal, please don't use [Enter] as punctuation
[21:38] <korogiannos> is there an lirc specific room?

[21:39] <KDE4000> hi
[21:39] <danhs> once I've connected to a samba share through gnome, how can I *sign out*?
[21:39] <danhs> I want to stop connecting as current suer
[21:39] <Gehaktbal> ok sorry matreya6
[21:39] <danhs> but I set it to "save password forever"
[21:39] <KDE4000> what video card is better: NVIDIA Geforce 5200 or ATI radeon 9600?
[21:39] <matreya6> danhs, that
[21:39] <zewm_> KDE4000: I think the radeon of those two
[21:39] <dr_willis> KDE4000,  i wouldent touch ANY ati card for a linux box.
[21:39] <matreya6> danhs, Just umount your smaba share
[21:39] <zewm_> but nvidia has better drivers
[21:39] <roukoun> AlexMax: then 'kill -9 processid'
[21:39] <danhs> matreya6: ahh thanks
[21:39] <dr_willis> KDE4000,  but i guess it depends on your budget. and needs
[21:39] <danhs> should be easy
[21:40] <korogiannos> KDE4000, Not sure about the 9600 but I much prefer my 5200 to my 9200
[21:40] <bastid_raZor> KDE4000; the nVidia is a bit weaker in performance but Ubuntu will play much nicer with it
[21:40] <Hexbomber> any clue what I should do?
[21:40] <danhs> matreya6: last thing: have you ever heard of same path, but different users seeing different files?
[21:40] <ejer> danhs: you can right click it in nautilus and disconnect
[21:40] <danhs> ie, //openfiler/administrator see admin home if I'm signed in as admin
[21:40] <msikma> Hey guys, how can I set eth0 as the default interface instead of lo?
[21:40] <KDE4000> i have both of those cards
[21:40] <KDE4000> so buying them is not a issue
[21:40] <matreya6> dahns, sounds like they are chrooted
[21:40] <KDE4000> the NVIDIA is currently in there
[21:40] <matreya6> !chroot | dahns
[21:40] <dr_willis> KDE4000,  for a linux box = stick with nvidia
[21:41] <KDE4000> the ATI OSS drivers arent any good then/
[21:41] <KDE4000> ?
[21:41] <KDE4000> radeon driver with 3D?
[21:41] <danhs> ie, //openfiler/user1 *also* sees admin home if I'm signed in as admin
[21:41] <korogiannos> is anyone successfully using lirc with an analoge tv card?
[21:41] <kurumin> how do i save on vim?
[21:42] <danhs> kurumin: :wq
[21:42] <dr_willis> korogiannos,  i have in the past. with Mythtv and my pvr150 hauppage card.. but not currently
[21:42] <danhs> kurumin: errr :w
[21:42] <kurumin> thanks!
[21:42] <matreya6> dahns, You can have an environment in which the root for different people is different, but you can still have hardlinks "under" the root, but they have to be on the same filesystem
[21:42] <danhs> w is for write
[21:42] <dr_willis> kurumin,  there is a trainer tool.. "vimtutor' you may want to check out some day soon. :)
[21:42] <ejer> danhs: that just sounds like permissions/share settings
[21:42] <korogiannos> dr_willis.  Did you see my previous questions?
[21:42] <dr_willis> korogiannos,  proberly not. :) i pop in and out all day..
[21:42] <kurumin> dr_willis: i'll look for it. thanks XD~
[21:43] <thiebaude> hi dr_willis

[21:43] <msikma> He seems to have been stopped
[21:43] <danhs> matreya6: nah, just looks like it points to your homedirectory regardless of where you want to go....so maybe it is a chroot issue

[21:43] <KDE4000> ubuntu went to sleep on my system
[21:44] <KDE4000> it wont wake up now

[21:44] <ejer> danhs: did you set up a chroot?
[21:44] <kurumin> bye o/
[21:44] <korogiannos> many thanks all. take care
[21:44] <danhs> ejer: no
[21:44] <danhs> ejer: but it's possible the guy who originally did system might have
[21:44] <roukoun> korogiannos: can i pm you?
[21:45] <matreya6> danhs, if you are chrooted yourself you should have access to files in /sbin that you would normally not be able to access in a non-chrooted system
[21:45] <korogiannos> yes please
[21:45] <danhs> matreya6: how do you mean?
[21:46] <danhs> what kind of tools
[21:46] <matreya6> danhs, just try fdisk -l as a normal user
[21:46] <matreya6> danhs, If you are chrooted, it should show you the mounts that you have rights to. If not, it should show you that the file cannot be found
[21:46] <danhs> matreya6: openfiler is a baremetal installer
[21:46] <indian_munnda_> korogiannos: how to know that whether the tv tuner card is analog or digital?
[21:47] <ejer> danhs: what is the problem? that people can read others directories?
[21:47] <danhs> not sure if there *is* a non-root user on that box
[21:47] <danhs> ejer: no.  I can only read *my* directory for user I'm signed in as
[21:47] <ejer> danhs: this is normal
[21:47] <danhs> ie, \\openfiler\danhs looks the same as \\openfiler\administrator
[21:47] <thiebaude> exactly danhs
[21:47] <danhs> when I'm signed in as administrator.....
[21:48] <danhs> if I sign in as danhs, they'll be different (danhs home directory).  but those two paths will show the same files
[21:48] <SlimeyPete> anyone else having trouble with the nonfree flash plugin recently?
[21:48] <matreya6> danhs, sounds like chroot to me. Can you see /proc and /system?
[21:48] <danhs> make sense
[21:48] <SlimeyPete> I just get a grey box on youtube most of the time
[21:48] <ejer> well if you ARE the administrator danhs... you could look at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html but I would search openfiler forums if that does not help
[21:48] <indian_munnda_> korogiannos: r u there?
[21:49] <korogiannos> sorry, yes. I'm here
[21:49] <matreya6> SlimeyPete, have you installed the Flash plugin?
[21:49] <thiebaude> slimeypete:did you download flash from synaptic?
[21:49] <thiebaude> did
[21:49] <danhs> matreya6: can cd into /proc...can't do /system
[21:49] <bobertdos> SlimeyPete: What about other sites?
[21:49] <danhs> but I think openfiler is based on redhat derivative....
[21:49] <danhs> so it won't be same directory structure anyway
[21:49] <korogiannos> my card is bttv (card=120)
[21:49] <unop> danhs, i'm quite sure he meant /sys not /system
[21:49] <matreya6> danhs, I see... So you are not using Ubuntu.
[21:50] <danhs> matreya6: using ubuntu on my personal desktop....
[21:50] <indian_munnda_> korogiannos: but i wanna know about mine how can i do so?
[21:50] <matreya6> unop, dahns, rightmy error
[21:50] <d357r0y3r> I need to control the brightness of my laptop using a startup command (not xgamma), is there a way using gnome-power-manager?
[21:50] <danhs> matreya6: reason I came here was to sign out of samba on my ubuntu desktop
[21:50] <SlimeyPete> matreya6, thiebaude: yes
[21:50] <ejer> danhs: http://wwwold.openfiler.com/docs/faq/openfiler-administration-faq.html#d0e175
[21:50] <SlimeyPete> bobertdos: other sites sometimes work, sometimes not
[21:51] <matreya6> danhs, You should just umount your samba share, just like any other mount
[21:51] <danhs> matreya6: k
[21:51] <bobertdos> SlimeyPete: If you type about:plugins into firefox, do you see multiple versions of flash or gnash or anything?
[21:51] <danhs> ejer: problem is that I see same thing for my personal share as I see for /administrator
[21:51] <matreya6> danhs, VFS should take care of the fiddly bits on the low-level
[21:51] <thiebaude> matreya6:is there  a flashplugin nonfree extras in syanptic?
[21:51] <korogiannos> pm me.  I'm no expert, but googled alot in the last few days
[21:51] <danhs> which is wacky
[21:51] <danhs> matreya6: okay
[21:51] <ejer> danhs: it is not wacky if you set it up that way... you have total control
[21:51] <ryanakca> Is going for an x64 CD worth the hassle, or should I just stick to x86? I have an AMD Athlon 64... Would I notice any difference in performance?
[21:52] <matreya6> thiebaude, are you using Firefox as browser? In that case you can just install it from the universe repository, or maybe multiverse
[21:52] <ejer> ryanakca: if you have more than 3GB ram yes for sure, if not... up to you
[21:52] <danhs> ejer: the link you sent doesn't mention anything about seeing other users home directory
[21:52] <ejer> danhs: you need to read admin guide
[21:52] <SlimeyPete> bobertdos: ah, sorry, I should have been more clear in my original query. I use Opera.
[21:52] <bobertdos> ryanakca: There is a difference in performance, but unless you have 4 gigs of ram or more, it's probably not extremely worth it.
[21:52] <danhs> ejer: openfiler adminguide/
[21:52] <danhs> ?
[21:52] <thiebaude> yes matreya6:yes, and im using flash10
[21:53] <dragon33> greetings, how do i launch "file roller" it isn't in the menu pull down list.. thanks
[21:53] <thiebaude> in opera it's flash 9
[21:53] <SlimeyPete> bobertdos: but opera does seem to have an about:plugins anyway and I see two Flashes
[21:53] <matreya6> SlimeyPete, sorry about that, I'm not familiar with flash in Opera
[21:53] <thiebaude> flash is hard to install in opera
[21:53] <bobertdos> SlimeyPete: I've tested opera with flash 10, and not even that works all that well.
[21:53] <ryanakca> So, if I have 512mb ram, but might get more down the road, I might as well try going for x64... Are there any negative side effects if you have less than 3/4GB?
[21:53] <hardcore> anyone know why frostwire doesn't work?
[21:53] <SlimeyPete> ahhh, I think it's picked up both the general plugin in /usr/lib and the one in the firefox dir
[21:53] <matreya6> dragon33, if you have already installed it, just run fileroller & from the terminal
[21:53] <ryanakca> !work | hardcore
[21:54] <gnusar> i want to install (update) the new version of gimp, apt-get install tells me it is already up to date but that is not true, how can i do this?

[21:54] <movedx> Does anyone know how-to get e-mails to sort by order they arrive, newest e-mails starting at the top of the inbox? I'm using Alpine and accessing my gmail account via imap.

[21:54] <matreya6> gnusar, You can add the repository for the development version of the GIMP, see gimp.org
[21:54] <danhs> SlimeyPete: I gave up on ubuntu flash
[21:54] <thiebaude> !getdeb
[21:54] <hardcore> it said frostwire installed successfully. i clicked on applications, internet, frostwire. it does nothing, at all
[21:54] <danhs> SlimeyPete: I just followed instructoins here http://www.queleimporta.com/how-to-install-flash-10-rc-on-ubuntu-64-bits-with-2-clicks/en/
[21:55] <bobertdos> SlimeyPete: In Opera's Preferences, there is a place where you can add and remove from the list of directories the browser looks for plugins. I suggest removing the mozilla directory from the list.
[21:55] <danhs> SlimeyPete: that works *pretty* well
[21:55] <danhs> SlimeyPete: not perfect, but my machine no longer crashes from flash and I can see flash videos *most* of the time
[21:55] <thiebaude> bobbertdos:for some reason i now have flash in opera
[21:55] <hardcore> maybe no other frostwire users here??
[21:56] <unop> hardcore, try launching it from a terminal
[21:56] <danhs> SlimeyPete: A couple of sites have trouble, but youtube works, and most other sites too
[21:56] <thiebaude> brb
[21:56] <pen> is there anyway to change or reset the last modified date for text files?
[21:56] <hardcore> how do i launch from terminal?
[21:56] <unop> hardcore, see if it spits out any errors
[21:56] <supertanker> How could I have a particular command run at startup without making some big init.d script?
[21:56] <LjL> hardcore: type "frostwire" in a terminal and see exactly what error it gives you.
[21:56] <hardcore> whats the command?
[21:56] <bobertdos> thiebaude: Probably because by default, Opera looks in its own plugins directory AND in the mozilla directory.
[21:56] <matreya6> SlimeyPete, thiebaude, maybe you can compare installed flash-plugins in synaptic or apt-cache.
[21:56] <hardcore> i'll try that thanks
[21:56] <unop> hardcore, type this.  frostwire
[21:56] <LjL> hardcore: then look at the errors that are mentioned at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[21:56] <xomp> Rythmbox has to be one of the most unappealing programs I've ever seen to play music lol
[21:57] <unop> supertanker, you can place your command in /etc/rc.local  before the exit 0 at the end
[21:57] <unop> pen, sure, see the touch manpage
[21:57] <xomp> it's equivilent to playing mp3's in notepad :P
[21:57] <bobertdos> thiebaude: Actually, now that I think about it, Opera looks in a VERY long list of places for plugins by default.
[21:57] <danhs> did SlimeyPete see my notes about flash?
[21:57] <supertanker> Thanks unop
[21:57] <matreya6> Is there anyone here who has managed to get MIDI working on a Soundblaster Live! ? I don't see any errors, but there is no sound, even with all ALSA output sliders maxed out.
[21:58] <LjL> matreya6: did you install a soundfont?
[21:58] <mdmkolbe> Does Ubuntu implement IPv6 anonymization (a la RFC3041)?
[21:58] <danhs> matreya6: I hate to be dumb, cause I don't know this stuff, but have you looked into pulse issues?  I've heard those are a doozie in hardy
[21:58] <matreya6> LjL: Yes, I installed several soundfonts, including sfxawe and the fluidsynth soundfonts
[21:59] <matreya6> danhs, I don't use Pulse asa Soundserver, only ALSA and JackAudio
[21:59] <LjL> matreya6: well, all i can tell you i guess is to double-check everything at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/HardwareSynthesisSetup
[21:59] <unop> mdmkolbe, anonymization or autoconfiguration ?
[21:59] <bobertdos> danhs: I don't know if he saw them or not.
[21:59] <danhs> eh....what can you do?
[21:59] <mdmkolbe> unop: anonymization. not autoconfiguration.
[21:59] <danhs> the link I sent him works for fixing flash stuff
[22:00] <matreya6> LjL, thanks for the hint, I have exhausted all the links there and everything works fine, expect there is no soud output from my speakers
[22:00] <nemo> Does gnome have a gui to simplify the setting of session locale variables?
[22:00] <unop> mdmkolbe, oh, no idea what that means then, sorry
[22:00] <nemo> There is a language tool for setting default global prefs, and for adding languages
[22:00] <nemo> can't find a per-user thing though
[22:00] <hardcore> i typed frostwire in the terminal and it replied with Starting FrostWire...
[22:00] <hardcore> Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search...
[22:00] <hardcore> OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/lib/  hierarchy
[22:00] <hardcore> You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com
[22:00] <hardcore> ls: cannot access /usr/java/j*: No such file or directory
[22:00] <FloodBot2> hardcore: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:01] <unop> !java | hardcore
[22:01] <hardcore> i typed frostwire in the terminal. it said java exec not found in PATH
[22:01] <hardcore> i went to java.com, there
[22:01] <hardcore> tjere
[22:02] <unop> hardcore, see what ubottu just said to you
[22:02] <hardcore> there's no deb file at java.com
[22:02] <hardcore> what do you mean?
[22:02] <unop> !java > hardcore
[22:02] <hardcore> oh ok thanks
[22:02] <thiebaude> !java
[22:02] <lakotajames> this doesn't really have to with ubuntu, or linux in general, for that matter, but I don't know where to look for the answer. I am trying to sign up for google adsense but google rejected my application because it thinks I have a PO box. I don't have one, my address is HC 60 box 56a, which is a street address.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[22:02] <LjL> hardcore, i mean READ THE INFORMATION AT  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire - third time
[22:03] <nemo> sooo....   anyway.  setting per-user locale hints?
[22:03] <LjL> hardcore: it HAS the error that you got, it DOES tell you to install Java, it LINKS to the page that tells you how to do it, and it DOESN'T tell you to go to java.com if you get that error
[22:03] <nemo> I'd like to do it "right" and not be editing my profile files
[22:03] <supertanker> Where is the inittab file at in Xubuntu?
[22:03] <bobertdos> hardcore: Installing from Sun's bin is kind of messy. They really don't give you thorough enough instructions for setting the appropriate environment variables, so we just recommend people stick to the repos.
[22:03] <nemo> this is also about linux userfriendliness :)
[22:03] <unop> !upstart > supertanker
[22:03] <nemo> it was doing such a good job on global settings
[22:04] <danhs> lakotajames: sounds like a bug in google po box algorithm...email google.  what else can you do?
[22:04] <unop> nemo, you could adjust the LANG variable - but what are you aiming to do exactly?
[22:04] <nemo> unop: sure.  and that's what I might do in, oh, gentoo
[22:04] <DreDawgg> how would i return the first result in the following statement? "export me=`whoami` && grep $me usplog | cut -d " " -f 1 2> echo $_"
[22:04] <lakotajames> danhs: I thought maybe there might be a way to write the address differently.  thanks, though.
[22:04] <supertanker> I'm asking because I want my server to start in runlevel 3 instead of 5
[22:05] <nemo> unop: but since there is System->Administration->Language Support, and a pretty gui, I was hoping there was something similar for setting the language for a specific user
[22:05] <guntbert> DreDawgg: you might ask better in #bash
[22:05] <Uplink> how can i install emacs IDE?
[22:05] <unop> DreDawgg, that's better written as .. grep $USER usplog | cut ... | head -n 1
[22:05] <unop> Uplink, sudo aptitude install emacs
[22:05] <trece8> hi all... i have a problem i asked about a few days ago...
[22:05] <trece8> My 1680x1050 screen works ok with the linux generic kernel, but it's blank in linux-rt kernel (the realtime kernel)
[22:05] <trece8> Can somebody help me? It's crucial to me
[22:06] <Uplink> unop: i did... but i want IDE bro...
[22:06] <danhs> lakotajames: maybe.  play around with it.  you know what's acceptable to the post office for your address
[22:06] <DreDawgg> thanks
[22:06] <unop> Uplink, i've never heard of the emacs IDE
[22:06] <philippe_> Hello. Which path can I use exept /home/user and /temp to store data? I want to create a birtualbox but my home partition is too small.
[22:06] <danhs> lakotajames: if you can tweak it, and still get mail, go for it
[22:06] <Uplink> unop: like where is the GUI?
[22:06] <bastid_raZor> trece8; did you install the video driver while using the kernel-rt?
[22:06] <danhs> lakotajames: also, think about where they're looking it up.  is it your driver's license, federal tax id, etc.....
[22:06] <supertanker> How can I change my startup runlevel from 5 to 3?
[22:06] <danhs> lakotajames: it's google, not the irs....
[22:07] <unop> Uplink, you might have to install the xemacs package for the GUI
[22:07] <trece8> bastid_raZor: no...
[22:07] <NiCK_NaME> forreal man this is getting absolutely ridiculous ! why is it so hard ust to mount a external harddrive ? and why is it all the tutorials online do NOTHING! none of them give any kind of help to me what so ever!. and if they do, why do people write them for newbies talk to them like they know EVERYTHING they do... OMG! what gives?
[22:07] <WastePotato> Hmm.
[22:07] <trece8> what driver should i install? nvidia-glx-new ?
[22:07] <trece8> (i have an nvidia geforce 6200 TC(
[22:07] <Uplink> unop: ok let me try ty... cause i dont see it on the applications menu... but when i type "emacs" on the terminal it loads
[22:07] <bastid_raZor> trece8; whatever driver your card needs.
[22:07] <unop> supertanker, the default runlevel on ubuntu is 2 (not 5) and runlevels 2-5 are all the same - so there is little point in what you are trying to do.
[22:07] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: ... hard to mount an external HD?  I literally just plugged it in.
[22:07] <guntbert> supertanker: ubuntu doesn't use the concept of run levels , see !upstart
[22:07] <trece8> ok, bastid_raZor , thanks... i will return here
[22:07] <trece8> after trying
[22:07] <lakotajames> danhs: I would, but the "you were not accepted" email took two days to arrive after signing up.  I'd rather not wait that long.  I think I will email them.  Unless you know a live chat thing, or irc channel?
[22:08] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: why can i not do that!
[22:08] <supertanker> So should I remove X? >_>
[22:08] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: USB?
[22:08] <roukoun> NiCK_NaME: you just want to mount an external drive?
[22:08] <unop> guntbert, errm, sure it does - just that you don't think of them from a sysvinit point of view
[22:08] <KDE4000> !upstart
[22:08] <supertanker> How can I stop X from starting?
[22:08] <supertanker> I saw that
[22:08] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: yes usb
[22:08] <supertanker> I can't figure out where Upstart stores its stuff
[22:08] <supertanker> config files*
[22:08] <unop> supertanker,  sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[22:08] <danhs> lakotajames: I don't....I think google's thing is to automate everything and not have people answering phones....but hey google search for customer service!
[22:08] <guntbert> unop: I stand corrected :)
[22:09] <roukoun> NiCK_NaME: what is the output of the 'ls -la /media' command?
[22:09] <NiCK_NaME> roukoun: Just want to mount a external! OMG you make it sound so easy... i been working at this for a day and a half now...
[22:09] <hardcore> frostwire works fine now, thanks yall
[22:09] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: what filesystem is on the USB drive?
[22:09] <NiCK_NaME> roukoun: i have no idea what your just said
[22:09] <zarnick> hello, can anyone help me on how to block snd_emu10k1 module for loading in the system boot, and allow only snd_usb_audio???
[22:09] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: fat32
[22:09] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: windows? mac? dos?
[22:09] <unop> !startup > supertanker
[22:09] <Delmarc> My fonts in GNOME do not take on anti-alaising, what do I do? I tried to set them in the desktop settings but they won't take
[22:09] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: oh. ok. you know what FAT32 is. good :)
[22:09] <Delmarc> Nothing I do works
[22:10] <hardcore> thanks ubottu
[22:10] <hubar> What package should I install if I want some basic C manpage?
[22:10] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: do you mind putting the output of dmesg into a pastebin so we can see what happens when you plug the drive in?
[22:10] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: do you know how to get dmesg output?
[22:10] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: yeah my buddy with a Mac OS  formatted me a HD just for this...
[22:10] <supertanker> Before I do this, how would I reverse this? "sudo update-rc.d add gdm multiuser"?
[22:10] <roukoun> NiCK_NaME: open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type : 'ls -la /media'
[22:10] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: sure i can do that
[22:10] <Delmarc> Hello?
[22:10] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: yeep. sure hope he didn't format it as a mac filesystem :-p
[22:10] <Delmarc> My fonts in GNOME do not take on anti-alaising, what do I do? I tried to set them in the desktop settings but they won't take
[22:11] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: he formated it as a fat32...
[22:11] <supertanker> Screw it, I'll just try it
[22:11] <nemo> Delmarc: if you just set it, it should take effect in new apps
[22:11] <roukoun> NiCK_NaME: does your HD listed in the output of the command?
[22:11] <supertanker> If it breaks I'll do something...somehow...
[22:11] <unop> supertanker, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults
[22:11] <Delmarc> nemo: it doesn't
[22:11] <hubar> What package should I install if I want some basic C manpage?
[22:11] <Delmarc> nemo: I've tried everything
[22:11] <unop> supertanker, there is a manpage for update-rc.d
[22:11] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: okay i will pastebin give me a minute thank you thank you
[22:11] <hubar> What package should I install if I want some basic C manpage? Like printf, sprintf's...
[22:11] <NiCK_NaME> pastebin.com
[22:11] <LjL> hubar: manpages-dev has all the C library functions
[22:11] <ramsundar> hey I have a problem
[22:12] <ramsundar> I am using Ubuntu 8.04
[22:12] <Delmarc> Hello?
[22:12] <ramsundar> and wireless card is detected
[22:12] <guntbert> !ask | ramsundar
[22:12] <LjL> !enter | ramsundar
[22:13] <Delmarc> Anyone????
[22:13] <bobertdos> Delmarc: Yes?
[22:13] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: http://pastebin.com/m158822eb
[22:13] <xomp> !anyone | Delmarc
[22:13] <nemo> Delmarc: so you enabled antialiasing under System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts
[22:13] <nemo> Delmarc: right?
[22:13] <nemo> Delmarc: did you use subpixel smoothing by any chance?
[22:14] <ramsundar> okay. My question is I have a wireless card that is detected. I am trying to connect to net using Wifi radar. I am seeing the networks listed but when i connect to any network I get DHCPDISCOVER thing which tries to get a lease and finally it is not able to get an IP and sleeps. I have ubuntu 8.04 and broadcom driver Dell Lappie
[22:14] <Delmarc> nemo: yes I've used all the settings... none worked
[22:14] <hubar> LjL: What about stdc++ manpage?
[22:14] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: looks like it isn't recognising the filesystem
[22:14] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: I'd suspect a bad format - why not reformat it yourself?
[22:15] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: does it have data you care about?
[22:15] <hubar> LjL: It has 6.4.2 , 6.4.0, which one should I install?
[22:15] <me> how do i create a new partition in gparted with the unused space i have?
[22:15] <LjL> hubar: uh?
[22:15] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: yes it does
[22:15] <ramsundar> hello?
[22:15] <LjL> hubar: what are those version numbers?
[22:15] <tafsen> Where do I find the auth key for the http://ftp.debian.org repo?
[22:15] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: thats bad isnt it ?
[22:15] <thiebaude> hi ramsundar
[22:15] <bobertdos> me: Basically just select the unformatted space and decide how you want it formated.
[22:16] <Axz> Hi there how to get GCC working on ubuntu?
[22:16] <Axz> cant install it with apt-get install gcc
[22:16] <ramsundar> hi thiebauder did u see my question?
[22:16] <thiebaude> !gcc
[22:16] <LjL> tafsen: i don't know, perhaps ask in #debian ? you surely aren't going to use *that* in Ubuntu?
[22:16] <Axz> thanks
[22:16] <hubar> LjL: Version# for libstdc++.
[22:16] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: well. your buddy who did whatever to it. was there existing data on it before he screwed around with it?
[22:16] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: or is this data he added?
[22:16] <bobertdos> Axz: Are you using sudo when you do that?
[22:16] <thiebaude> i was away from my computer
[22:16] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: yes
[22:16] <Axz> yes bobertdos
[22:16] <me> bobertdos; it only gives me unmount option when i click on it
[22:16] <nemo> NiCK_NaME: that was not a yes or no question :-p  which one?
[22:16] <korogiannos> can I ignore /dev/input/event6 as keyboard strokes?
[22:17] <bobertdos> me: You have to do it from a LiveCD. You cannot perform operations on a mounted drive.
[22:17] <tafsen> LjL: I can't?
[22:17] <LjL> hubar: install the libstdc++6 package
[22:17] <ramsundar> hey thiebaude
[22:17] <NiCK_NaME> nemo: i had stuff on it then he formated it for me... then i put new data on it...

[22:24] <cbrinke1> we are trying to get preseeding setup for some automatic ubuntu server installations, everything is good except for a small issue: mysql-server asks for root password
[22:24] <Pici> sysrpn: Then you can use the update-manager to upgrade.

[22:28] <guntbert> ramsundar: for me, wifi-radar broke my wifi-connection (lenovo T60), so maybe you try without it?
[22:28] <bobbycheetah> ramsundar... you might be able to get help at  FreeNode - channel bcm-users.
[22:28] <roukoun> zarnick: just ask your question
[22:29] <badfish> is there a virtual desktop parameter in wine?
[22:29] <Pici> badfish: Wine is not a Windows Emulator, you can only run (some) programs that were designed for Windows in it.
[22:29] <zarnick> I wanted to know if anyone could help me on how to block snd_emu10k1 module for loading in the system boot, and allow only snd_usb_audio???
[22:29] <Pici> badfish: Its not the same as VMware or Vbox, etc.
[22:30] <zarnick> (as stated before..hehehehe)
[22:31] <guntbert> zarnick: 'blacklist' will be the way for you
[22:31] <Chousuke> badfish: yes, wine can do a virtual desktop
[22:31] <Chousuke> badfish: run winecfg
[22:31] <zarnick> guntbert, just put the module there?just like the other?but what about the dependencies?are they done automatically?
[22:32] <korogiannos> I have setup lirc and it works fine.  I want to disable my remote control from being interpreted as a keyboard too.  (it did this before I installed lirc.  it's seen as /dev/input/event6 and used as a keyboard too)
[22:32] <badfish> i got it
[22:32] <badfish> i knew how to run a virtual desktop
[22:32] <guntbert> zarnick: couldn't say right now :(, just wanted to give you a hint

[22:43] <__mikem> I need help. Metacity won't start when I start gnome, and I can't figure out how to fix my session settings
[22:44] <administrador> this is the problem, my computer use to have XP but it got really hacked and there was no way of recovering it, so I installed Ubuntu as it was no longer working
[22:44] <QuantumRand> If anyone knows how to get 8.04 to work on AHCI, please PM me
[22:44] <administrador> but the f... spy has tried to spy again my session
[22:44] <Spherous> Hey, yesterday you guys helped me create a .dat copy of my broken hard drive so I could get the files off it.  Well, I have the .dat file, but I don't know how to access it...
[22:45] <__mikem> seriously, I am in an urgent situation
[22:45] <korogiannos> I've set up my tv card to use the remote control. problem is it uses lirc correctly, but also sees the buttons I press on the RC as keyboard keystrokes.  Do I need to tell gnome/Xorg to ignore "keystrokes" from /dev/input/event6? if so. how do I do that?
[22:47] <hosstest> Anyone know how to open ports for wine apps?  Do I use Firestarter?
[22:47] <administrador> hi, is there anybody that can help me to track down an spyware
[22:48] <horcajadas> libros
[22:48] <Mr_Fixit> can someone help me set up an extended desktop? i have found a xrandr tutorial but i seem to be having resolution errors
[22:48] <LjL> Spherous: type "file filename.dat" to find out precisely what sort of archive it might be
[22:48] <bobertdos> __mikem: Hmm, well, I guess I'd first suggest reconfiguring ubuntu-desktop and/or metacity. sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package> You may want to kill X when you do this (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and Ctrl+Alt+F7 to reutnr to X when you're done.
[22:48] <QuantumRand> are intel WiFi 5100 drivers out yet?
[22:49] <Anarchy> anyone read about this new super DoS that was found??
[22:49] <Spherous> it says: /home/susa/Documents/fool.dat: writable, regular file, no read permission
[22:50] <LjL> Spherous: do you recall if you perhaps used "dd" to create it?
[22:50] <korogiannos> has anyone here successfully installed a, bt878 based tv card with, remote control to work with lirc?
[22:50] <Mr_Fixit> Anarchy, does it ask the user to rm -rf /?
[22:50] <DustBunn1> Can anyone help me troubleshoot my sound problem ?
[22:50] <Spherous> LjL, yes I did use dd to create it
[22:50] <Anarchy> lol no idea
[22:50] <LjL> !offtopic | Anarchy, Mr_Fixit
[22:50] <Anarchy> it was on /.
[22:50] <phantomcircuit> when I close a program the stuff it had on the clipboard disappears, what gives?
[22:50] <__mikem> bobertdos: that did not fix it
[22:50] <redf1sh> administrador, what do you mean?
[22:51] <QuantumRand> does 8.10 support AHCI?
[22:51] <Anarchy> it has to do with the tcp/ip stack from what i can tell
[22:51] <hosstest> Anyone know how to open ports, do I use Firestarter?
[22:51] <LjL> Spherous: then it's simply a byte-by-byte copy of your partition (or entire drive). you can probably mount it with "sudo mount -o loop filename.dat /mnt/somewhere" (where the directory /mnt/somewhere must exist)
[22:51] <Gizmo_The_Great> Hi. In System --> Preferences --> Power Management I have 'Actions' and 'Display' set to 'Never' when on AC Power. The screensaver is set to the max time of 2 hours. However, I actually want to disable the 'power off' feature of the monmitor all together. I don't want the screensaver to come on at all. Anyway to disable?
[22:51] <redf1sh> Anarchy, yeah; afaik its to do with syn_cookies (which help keep your machine alive if you're being dosed already). They can have some issues themselves... being dosed is apparently one of them.
[22:52] <Anarchy> lol
[22:52] <__mikem> bobertdos: seriously, could you please give me something else to try, I have been desperately trying to get help from people for the last hour
[22:52] <DustBunn1> no help on the sound issue eh..
[22:52] <ChelseaVV> Can anyone tell me if there's anything like ShhMBP for those running Ubuntu on MBPs?
[22:52] <administrador> dude can you pls help me on configuring my Firestarter?
[22:52] <Spherous> so, first sudo mkdir /mounted/somewhere ?
[22:52] <ChelseaVV> I believe ShhMBP disables C0.
[22:52] <LjL> Anarchy, this channel is for Ubuntu support, not for discussing TCP exploits. that's what the !offtopic was hinting at.
[22:52] <phantomcircuit> I'm about 90% sure that the problem is that you can guess the syn cookie
[22:53] <diabl0> hello , have anyone tried wifi on laptop with ubuntu 8.04 ? i remember 8.01 wasnt working not like 7.10 was working flawlessly

[22:53] <phantomcircuit> diabl0, it works perfectly for me, but i have an intel chipset

[22:54] <diabl0> hope it works on my ibm this time
[22:54] <korogiannos> Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't know what to google.  does the power button (event code 116, from /dev/input/eventX) get interpreted by gnome, the X manager or the kernel? I want to ignore keystrokes from /dev/input/eventX
[22:54] <DustBunn1> spyware on ubuntu ? =O

[22:55] <redf1sh> administrador you likely don't need to worry. Might want to read though this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security
[22:55] <__mikem> bobertdos: are you sure

[22:56] <Shark_7-11> Anyone here have a GeForce 6600 with working nvidia drivers?
[22:56] <DustBunn1> @gamikage, change your account and root password and don't  use a common password
[22:56] <Spherous> LjL, Didn't work, http://pastebin.com/m9be3dda

[22:57] <theNoyes> @DustBunn1 Are you pretty good with LAMP setups on 8.04?
[22:57] <DustBunn1> @gamikage, make sure you check for any accounts this person may have made and if you do find any accounts made by this user, be sure to delete them
[22:57] <Spherous> I made the dir first, so no worries about that
[22:57] <gamikage> ok, thanks, is there anything besides Firestarter as Firewalls??
[22:57] <DustBunn1> @theNoyes, Good ? i guess you could say that
[22:57] <LjL> Spherous: "loop", not "lopp"
[22:57] <DustBunn1> @gamikage,  you shouldn't need to "open" ports on ubuntu
[22:57] <Spherous> Ugh, lol alright, one sec
[22:57] <Pio> I'm unable to get the composite extension to load.. my X logs state: (**) Extension "Composite" is enabled, but xdpyinfo claims composite is *not* loaded.. anyone familiar with this, or have guesses why?
