[06:29] <forest_> HEP85 -- right. Not sure how exactly to add the hostname to /etc/hosts though
[06:29] <astro76> btsdev, /media/storage, officially (fhs) /mnt has no subfolders and is for temporary mounting
[06:30] <btsdev> astro76: thanks :D
[06:30] <rcbaxter_> Does anyone have any suggestions for a NAS device?
[06:30] <HEP85> forest_: well. leave that part.
[06:30] <forest_> HEP85 -- okay, lets see
[06:30] <HEP85> forest_: if you do that you would have to change the IP there everytime
[06:30] <whatspy> how do we copy files from a partition that is apparently, even if the file listings is still available through testdisk ?
[06:30] <Busata> what log should I check to see what crashes cause? I'm getting hardlocks at random periods, think it's my graphical card
[06:30] <CaspeR-Bz> does anyone know ? :(
[06:30] <whatspy> *apparently Broken
[06:31] <astro76> rcbaxter_, freeNAS ?
[06:31] <whatspy> I'm trying to do some kind of backup of that partition
[06:31] <forest_> HEP85 -- I'm just not sure what the URL to the printer with the hostname would look like
[06:31] <HEP85> forest_: you can try to ping the hostname from the other computer to see if the hostname lookup works
[06:31] <Sasha_> CaspeR-Bz: I think that's something to ask the VMWare people, probably.
[06:31] <bluefox83> should Places->Network show an NFS network?
[06:31] <rcbaxter_> astro76: Thanks... I'll check it out.
[06:31] <HEP85> forest_: for example: http//ubuntu-desktop:631/printers/deskjet980
[06:31] <LordMarshal> HEP85 could u check ur pm plz?
[06:32] <nikosaei> hi
[06:32] <nikosaei> people
[06:32] <Sasha_> 'Ello.
[06:32] <nikosaei> can anyone help me ?
[06:32] <brainiac8008> astro76, how do you change the time period for which ubuntu remembers your password for administrative tasks?
[06:32] <HEP85> LordMarshal: No queries. Maybe you are not registered?
[06:32] <rcbaxter_> I'm looking for something that I can just plug in and it works...
[06:32] <telexicon> where did apport save my crash information to?
[06:32] <nikosaei> i want to know if someone had ever install ubuntu on cf
[06:32] <nikosaei> compact flash
[06:32] <xtknight> compiler i don't see support in the Gutsy livecd as of yesterday
[06:32] <LordMarshal> what do u mean?
[06:33] <astro76> brainiac8008, not sure I'd have to google it, it's a sudo setting
[06:33] <forest_> HEP85 -- no good, it's just trying to go to www.hostname.com
[06:33] <compiler> :(
[06:33] <JayRoe> does ubuntu have a default scripts folder?
[06:33] <brainiac8008> astro76, ok
[06:33] <compiler> im very glad with that NIC
[06:33] <xtknight> compiler you'd do this to check.  "sudo update-pciids" then " cat /usr/share/misc/pci.ids|grep -i 168c" and search for your device id
[06:33] <brainiac8008> astro76, im looking it up now
[06:33] <HEP85> LordMarshal: What do you mean with check your PM? What PM?
[06:33] <xtknight> compiler but that's if you're on the gutsy livecd already
[06:33] <forest_> HEP85 -- ping gives unknown host
[06:33] <fallenedict> getting a total system freeze when running Wine on Ubuntu 7.04, can anybody give me a hand ?
[06:33] <xtknight> besides they dont have 2.6.22 final in here yet
[06:33] <LordMarshal> private message
[06:34] <HEP85> forest_: can't you configure your router to give the same IP to the same MAC?
[06:34] <kaptein> nikosaei: That should be doable as long as your computer can boot from it. Take a look at this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[06:34] <compiler> xtknight,
[06:34] <compiler> lspci also sai its 5006EG
[06:34] <forest_> HEP85 -- I don't control the router, unfortunately
[06:34] <NigelS> Sasha_: I don't think there's an error there - what happens when you try to ping <IP_ADDRESS>, what's the error?
[06:34] <compiler> but its a 5007EG
[06:35] <elvirolo2> hi everyone
[06:35] <Surb> what command would i run to reinstall a package that dpkg is telling me is half-installed?
[06:35] <meme_> heelo, how can i turn up the brightness, gamma on my desktop? I have brightness and contrast set to max on monitor ajustment.
[06:35] <elvirolo2> gmail is extremely slow under firefox (uses up 90% CPU) ... why is that ?
[06:35] <NigelS> Surb: install --reinstall reinstalls
[06:36] <Sasha_> NigelS: "From <IP_ADDRESS> imcp_seq=xx Destination Host Unreachable".
[06:36] <Surb> thanks.
[06:36] <HEP85> forest_: then you need to setup a DNA server somehow. Because you have no chance to set anything up with either CUPS or Samba if the IP changes and the hostname cannot be resolved
[06:36] <Wizardo55> I'm a total linux newbie, and I just finished installing Ubuntu via the alternate CD on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 6400), and the X Screen system tells me that there are no screens available after I start the OS, and kicks me back into a terminal.
[06:36] <Wizardo55> Is there any way I can get it to recognize my laptop screen?
[06:36] <Ek0nomik> Is anyone here familiar with assigning the same internal IP to the same computer?  Currently, my computers just assign their own internal IP it seems by talking with the router, but I want each computer to have the same internal IP on every boot.
[06:36] <act1v8> How do I convert a FLV video to a ISO MPEG-4 video codec version 1.0 or to Microsoft MPEG-4 codec version 2.0 and 3.0 ?
[06:37] <mc44> Wizardo55: what graphics card?
[06:37] <Justi1> wizardo55: I'll try to find the tutorial I used to fix that on my 6400
[06:37] <Wizardo55> mc44: ATI Mobility Radeon X1300
[06:37] <Savenger> hi every1
[06:37] <mc44> !ati | Wizardo55
[06:37] <ubotu> Wizardo55: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:37] <astro76> Ek0nomik, the best/easiest way is to set static dhcp on the router, where the router always gives the same IP to a particular MAC address via dhcp
[06:37] <Newbie_Dude> HEP85: can you look at that script when you are not busy - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30018/
[06:37] <Karthik> I have dapper in my system...recently i have installed windowsxp...since then the grub doesn't appear...how to get it back?
[06:37] <forest_> HEP85 -- thanks for all the help. Gonna give up for now
[06:38] <compiler> xtknight,  so no chance to bring this nic up
[06:38] <brainiac8008> astro76, i think it has to do with /etc/sudoers
[06:38] <Ek0nomik> astro76:  may I PM you?
[06:38] <Flannel> Ek0nomik: you want static IP, not dynamic IP.  You can set it on the networking config thing, or you can do it on the command line here: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/network-configuration.html
[06:38] <Flannel> !grub | Karthik
[06:38] <ubotu> Karthik: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:38] <bluefox83> why does Places->Network not show my NFS server?
[06:39] <astro76> Ek0nomik, keep it in channel please
[06:39] <mysticalone> I've compiled Mesa 7 and drm and it seems to compile fine but after $sudo make install, I try $glxinfo|grep info and it still shows Mesa 6.5.2, bad compile?
[06:39] <meme_> what is the FN key?
[06:39] <Flannel> Karthik: first link there, XP overwrote grub, you'll need to reinstall grub (not Ubuntu, it's quick)
[06:39] <Ek0nomik> So, Flannel's suggestion is changing Ubuntu system files.
[06:39] <HEP85> Newbie_Dude: Try to delete the whole script except the first line and exec /usr/lib/games/quake2/quake2.real "$@"
[06:39] <Ek0nomik> while yours (astro) is doing it in the router
[06:39] <astro76> bluefox83, I'm not sure that it will, I think you have to mount it and/or add it to fstab
[06:39] <Savenger> can u help me fixing my sound card problem? when i play ut2003 or diablo2@wine i have a kind of scratiching in the sounds.
[06:40] <Karthik> thanx flannel
[06:40] <Savenger> every other app (mplayer/rhythmbox) are working well
[06:40] <bluefox83> astro76, i did..i'm just wondering why i even have a Places->Network if i don't have smb installed and all i use is NFS
[06:41] <astro76> bluefox83, it's always there, places that are connected with Connect to Server... will also show up there
[06:41] <duelboot> can't see my "shared" folders using either smb or nfs on my ubuntu box...can see my freenas share from all computers so I think this is linked to my ubuntu box...any assistance?
[06:41] <Surb> NigelS, --reinstall isn't working. can you tell me tell me the whole command you had in mind?
[06:41] <astro76> Ek0nomik, either static IP on your pc as Flannel suggested, where you set the desired IP on each indiv. computer
[06:42] <astro76> Ek0nomik, but if you can do static dhcp, you can do it all from one place (router), and not worry about configurig the PCs
[06:43] <Ek0nomik> alright thanks.
[06:43] <compiler> yeahh
[06:43] <compiler> it works
[06:43] <compiler> :DDDDDDD
[06:43] <compiler> unbeleavable
[06:43] <compiler> 1 week i searched that F**** driver
[06:43] <LordMarshal> can anyone help me out with how to get a working ubuntu installation file?
[06:43] <dantalizing> astro76: "static" dhcp? ;)
[06:44] <mysticalone> What could be wrong if it seems like Mesa 7 is installing but my version is still 6.5.2, maybe a restart?
[06:44] <arch> is there a way to prevent the Super key from opening the applications menu?  I am unable to use it as a shortcut for anything else (compiz-fusion namely).
[06:44] <astro76> dantalizing, it's where the dhcp server always gives a particular IP to a particular MAC address
[06:44] <astro76> dantalizing, very handy
[06:44] <osxdude|laptop> there is no such thing as static dhcp
[06:44] <dantalizing> astro76: i know...jus sounds funny
[06:44] <brainiac8008> for editing /etc/sudoers, do i use sudo /etc/sudoers, visudo /etc/sudoers, or sudo visudo /etc/sudoers?
[06:44] <compiler> xtknight, ?
[06:44] <Flannel> brainiac8008: sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
[06:45] <Flannel> brainiac8008: visudo is the editor
[06:45] <Zambezi> Is there a packages in the repos which can measure my bandwidth?
[06:45] <HEP85> duelboot: how would you "see" the nfs folders? you have to mount them first
[06:45] <brainiac8008> Flannel, okay.  I think I talked to you quite a while ago about something.  can't remember what it was tho.  :)
[06:45] <duelboot> HEP85, can I pm you?
[06:45] <astro76> osxdude|laptop, static mapping, whatever, different devices call it different things
[06:46] <mysticalone> Anyone recommend restarting after attempting to install Mesa 7 altho glxinfo says 6.5.2 ?
[06:46] <HEP85> duelboot: it only works if you are registered. but yes
[06:46] <brainiac8008> Flannel, I got this:  usage: visudo [-c]  [-f sudoers]  [-q]  [-s]  [-V]
[06:46] <duelboot> HEP85, I am...here it comes
[06:46] <NigelS> Surb: for apt-get it's apt-get install --reinstall <pkg> for dpkg -i and force it to go over or if what you mean is that it installed but didn't configure then you ca dpkg --configure -a
[06:46] <gerro> trying to install ubuntu server x86 6.06 and after I select install it gives a says uncompressing then starting system loggers and screen goes blank for about an hour then computer restarts
[06:47] <astro76> osxdude|laptop, funny google seems to think static dhcp exists
[06:47] <Wizardo55> mc44: The ATI tutorial you linked me to wants me to enable several repositories which apparently require me to actually have the OS started up: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096
[06:47] <arsalan> what is recommended swap space required for ubuntu 6.10
[06:47] <NigelS> Sasha_: can you ping yourself on 127etc etc and also on your static ip <IP_ADDRESS>? also what is the network card?
[06:47] <mc44> Wizardo55: no you shouldn't need to do that
[06:47] <trippndarift> Is there a program that will allow me to record what I am doing on my computer for later use in my classroom?
[06:47] <gerro> astro76: it does
[06:48] <astro76> arsalan, how much ram do you have?
[06:48] <bjupton> have 3 computers, one to be server, so I set up SAMBA on it.  I can see the share over the network from Windows box, but I cannot see it from another Ubuntu machine
[06:48] <arsalan> 512
[06:48] <Flannel> brainiac8008: I'm sorry.  It's just "sudo visudo", no path
[06:48] <xet7> How do I install newest Sun Java 6u2 ? Just from binary file, or is there ubuntu package repository for it?
[06:48] <Sasha_> NigelS: both, yes. It's a... Realtek Semiconductor Co., Lt. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (r10).
[06:49] <brainiac8008> flannel, got it, ty
[06:49] <astro76> arsalan, you probably should use 1GB (but at least 512MB)
[06:49] <NigelS> xet7: 'tis in the repos if you search for java - sun java 6 jdk is there
[06:49] <arsalan> astro76,  512 I have and I want to know how much space should I give to swap drive
[06:49] <daddydoc> I have a question
[06:49] <bluefox83> just ask
[06:49] <astro76> arsalan, see my reply ^
[06:49] <bluefox83> don't ask to ask
[06:49] <brainiac8008> flannel, also, if I add an entry to /etc/sudoers, do I need the # sign and the correct spacing as the other entries?
[06:49] <bjupton> arsalan, 2X ram is the standard
[06:49] <osxdude|desktop> okay...for some reason I can't go on the internet, but I can go on IRC. That's not right.
[06:49] <daddydoc> how do I turn off entrance and exits from this formu?
[06:50] <daddydoc> forum/
[06:50] <gerro> arsalan: if your not running some form of database server then no reason to ever have over 100mb swap
[06:50] <samwize> osxdude|desktop: its happened to me
[06:50] <osxdude|desktop> huh. it's kinda weird.
[06:50] <bluefox83> osxdude|desktop, make sure your browser isn't set to use a proxy or something
[06:50] <samwize> i think its a port issue, unless your browser is messed up, which im sure you have checked
[06:51] <Flannel> brainiac8008: # lines are comments, spacing is just for readability.
[06:51] <osxdude|desktop> samwize: the internet is not working today :P
[06:51] <bluefox83> i had trouble one time with my system...all the browsers were set to use a proxy and i don't use a proxy...so it didn't connect to anything
[06:51] <samwize> are u on a mac?
[06:51] <daddydoc> anyone know how to access your linux samba drive from windows?
[06:52] <astro76> osxdude|desktop, often that indicates your dns isn't working, but since you're already connected to IRC...
[06:52] <arsalan> thanx all, I got what I was looking for: I need atleast 150MB swap space and 2 GB of hard drive for ubuntu 6.1
[06:52] <samwize> i would cycle the modem
[06:52] <brainiac8008> Flannel, so I don't need the # if I change, say, the timestamp_timeout (i.e. how long sudo remembers my password for administrative tasks)?
[06:52] <osxdude|desktop> samwize: no I'm in ubuntu (recovery mode) ( :P ) and ELinks, a text based web browser, didn't connect to adobe.com.
[06:52] <daddydoc> I can find the linux machine in my mshome neighborhood folder in my windowsxp machine
[06:52] <osxdude|desktop> here...let me restart in normal mode.
[06:52] <brainiac8008> flannel, if i add an entry about the timestamp_timeout
[06:52] <xet7> NigelS: but is it the newest version? it says java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105) and I'd like to install 6u2
[06:53] <daddydoc> but I cant access the linux box
[06:53] <Flannel> brainiac8008: Everything on a line after a # is ignored as a comment
[06:53] <samwize> adobe ._. beautiful yet difficult
[06:53] <daddydoc> it keeps asking for a login and password
[06:53] <HEP85> daddydoc: you need to set the right permissions
[06:53] <daddydoc> ok
[06:53] <daddydoc> sudo something?
[06:53] <osxdude|laptop> OMG Elinks was still running
[06:53] <HEP85> daddydoc: use the username and password of your linux box
[06:53] <brainiac8008> flannel, huh?
[06:53] <daddydoc> I did in windows, so maybe it is permissions in linux
[06:54] <HEP85> daddydoc: how did you set it up?
[06:54] <daddydoc> do I use the chown command in linux for a particular folder?
[06:55] <Flannel> brainiac8008: everyone after a # is ignored
[06:55] <osxdude|desktop> okay I'm in normal mode now
[06:55] <daddydoc> I have shared a couple of linux folders already
[06:56] <dantalizing> daddydoc: did you use the Shared Folders applet in "System..Adminitration...Shared Folders"?
[06:56] <osxdude|desktop> okay internet is working now :P
[06:56] <NigelS> xet7: not sure, you'll have to compare with the sun web site
[06:56] <Anomynous> is it possible to merge some partitions to my root partition with gparted?
[06:56] <daddydoc> system/administration/shared folders/add
[06:57] <daddydoc> in linux
[06:57] <brainiac8008> so if I create an entry that doesn't have a # before it, then it won't be ignored (it will be effective)?
[06:57] <duelboot> can anyone help me with correctly setting up an smb share...used the gui, but other computers don't see it..any assistance?
[06:57] <daddydoc> domain is mshome
[06:57] <samwize> osxdude|desktop: restarting did the trick?
[06:57] <osxdude|desktop> I guess so. I did 2 restarts even...
[06:57] <brainiac8008> flannel, so if I create an entry that doesn't have a # before it, then it won't be ignored (it will be effective)?
[06:57] <dantalizing> daddydoc: so the share properties for "Share through" is "Windows networks"
[06:58] <samwize> osxdude|desktop: always works, especially with ethernet
[06:58] <daddydoc> share through smb windows network
[06:58] <kaptein> brainiac8008: yes
[06:58] <brainiac8008> captainm, ok
[06:58] <osxdude|desktop> samwize: yup, and I'm on wireless.
[06:58] <dantalizing> daddydoc: path?
[06:58] <samwize> ah that too
[06:58] <Flannel> brainiac8008: No.  Everything with a # infront of it is ignored.  Everything without isnt
[06:58] <Flannel> brainiac8008: er, yes to what you said.  You just said it in a roundabout way
[06:58] <brainiac8008> flannel, ya
[06:59] <brainiac8008> :)
[06:59] <bluefox83> ok, for some reason my girlfreind's machine is getting a segmentation fault when she loads gxine
[06:59] <daddydoc>  it is /home/daddydoc/pictures
[06:59] <hypertyper> ok, i have a slightly complex (for  my newbie self) issue. i have a small script that needs to be run when i log in to x (it allows my keyboard's extra buttons to function). how do i make it run when i log in, so i can stop running it manually?
[06:59] <xet7> NigelS: Newest Java is not in Ubuntu repository, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494403
[07:00] <astro76> hypertyper, system>preferences>sessions
[07:00] <hypertyper> astro76: aha! thanks, i'll see if i can figure it out from here
[07:01] <duelboot> can anyone help me with correctly setting up an smb share...used the gui (system -> admin -> Shared Folders), but other computers don't see it and it's been over 12 hours..any assistance?
[07:01] <gnomefreak> xet7: sun-java6-plugin for feisty is atm just java1.6 we are working on getting update1 maybe if update2 came out that in feisty
[07:01] <dantalizing> dadddydoc....from a terminal type "ls -la /home/daddydoc | grep pictures"
[07:01] <dantalizing> daddydoc: and tell us what the first column has
[07:02] <duelboot> dantalizing, can help me with correctly setting up an smb share...used the gui (system -> admin -> Shared Folders), but other computers don't see it and it's been over 12 hours..any assistance?
[07:02] <HEP85> duelboot: just got an idea. does your firewall block port 139?
[07:02] <mysticalone> So after installing Mesa 7, glxinfo reports version 6.5.2 still, what did I do wrong?
[07:02] <RainCT> Hi
[07:02] <duelboot> HEP85, don't think so, but let me check...I allowed the box to come through it...
[07:03] <Savenger> i have scratching sound when playing ut2003 or diablo2@wine. can any1 help me out?
[07:03] <RainCT> If I've a user called nobody that's used when accessing the computer trought the network, is it save to remove it and create a group with the same name instead?
[07:03] <eighty4> hello!
[07:03] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!! <-- I get that with native linux games and games using wine, what do i do!?
[07:03] <thoreauputic> RainCT: the user "nobody" is a bad choice - quite a few system functions run as "nobody"
[07:03] <daddydoc> drwxr-xr-x  7 daddydoc daddydoc     4096 2007-07-08 14:24 pictures
[07:03] <samwize> steve99_: what games?
[07:04] <azslande> Excuse me, I forget the command to access my /ect/apt/sources.list file... I cant remember what I need to type to get permission to edit
[07:04] <Flannel> azslande: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:04] <azslande> thankyou
[07:04] <eighty4> azslande, "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[07:04] <eighty4> or what Flannel said
[07:04] <steve99_> samwize, all
[07:04] <dantalizing> daddydoc: so I'm assuming you're using username 'daddydoc' and your linux password?
[07:05] <daddydoc> gasman
[07:05] <steve99_> samwize, its freaken annoying
[07:06] <dantalizing> daddydoc: i mean when you try to connect from the windows machines...you're connecting with username 'daddydoc' nd password the same as your linux password
[07:06] <Savenger> hey pplz. i have scratching sound when playing ut2003 or diablo2@wine. can any1 help me out?
[07:06] <hinogi> nabend
[07:06] <bluefox83> Savenger, that's a wine problem, not a ubuntu problem
[07:06] <daddydoc> i use daddydoc and gasman and it doesnt connect
[07:07] <Savenger> no, ut2003 runs direclty in ubuntu not in wine
[07:07] <juan> hello all, i have a small question
[07:07] <Anlar> Savenger: disable esd for sure
[07:07] <Newbie_Dude> Savenger: does regular UT work as well? (not 2003)
[07:07] <steve99_> samwize, ideas??
[07:07] <daddydoc> I can see windows drives and shared drives from linux
[07:07] <juan> i used to be able to clean my printer cartridges and do all sort of maintenance to my hp under ubuntu,
[07:07] <Newbie_Dude> by the way, i gave up on the quake2 cause it was so frustrating and just deleted the files :P
[07:08] <hinogi> i still can't keep my vista bootloader from rebooting immidiatly after selecting it in grub GRRR
[07:08] <Savenger> Anlar: how can i disable it?
[07:08] <daddydoc> and have successfully copied from windows to linux in linux
[07:08] <Agip> hi I have a problem vista the desktop effects
[07:08] <Savenger> Newbie_Dude: i havent' tried it
[07:08] <juan> does anyone know the package necessary?
[07:08] <daddydoc> but I cant move files from linux to windows from either windows or linux
[07:08] <dantalizing> daddydoc: well it doestn look like a permissions issue
[07:08] <daddydoc> it is just a one way trip
[07:08] <Anlar> Savenger: preferences -> sound. then use "winecfg" to select alsa as sound device.. and I don't know about UT but perhaps it just auto-detects things
[07:08] <dantalizing> oh
[07:08] <daddydoc> I am trying to move files back to windows.
[07:09] <daddydoc> from linux
[07:09] <dantalizing> daddydoc: thought you were trying to move files to linux
[07:09] <imunar_> try with sudo
[07:09] <Agip> everytime I activate the desktop effects the upper bat of the window disappears, any suggestions?
[07:09] <Agip> *bar
[07:10] <IndyGunFreak> Agip: what type of video card?
[07:10] <daddydoc> I can move files from windows to linux in the linux box,
[07:10] <Savenger> Anlar: i have already alsa as sound device
[07:10] <JayRoe>  create a boot script with root privileges?
[07:10] <daddydoc> but I cant move files to windows from linux in either box, and I cant access linux from windows
[07:10] <Agip> IndyGunFreaK: nvidia mx 440
[07:10] <JayRoe> oops. How do I create a boot script that has root privileges?
[07:10] <xet7> gnomefreak: is it possible to install java manually from sun's .bin file? And how to install Firefox plugin? On Feisty?
[07:11] <IndyGunFreak> Agip: i had the same problem, so i installed beryl, and had the same problem, then someone showed me a script that fixes it.
[07:11] <IndyGunFreak> not really a script, but a terminal command
[07:11] <Agip> IndyGunFreaK: do you know it?
[07:11] <_joey> There are proofing tools for MS Office. Is there anything similar for Open Office?
[07:12] <gnomefreak> xet7: its possible but its more work than you relize to keep it up to date, there are instruction on suns site on how to install it
[07:12] <IndyGunFreak> yeah,l but i don't know if it will work w/ ubuntu effects, to my knowledge, it only works w/ Beryl(as it writes options in beryl)
[07:12] <IndyGunFreak> Agip: actually, i feel almost 100% confident it won't work w/ desktop effects
[07:12] <daddydoc> I just tried to access linux box from 2 different windowsxp boxes, and cannot connect
[07:12] <Agip> IndyGunFreaK: ok I'll install beryl
[07:12] <_joey> yes, no, may be? :)
[07:13] <Agip> IndyGunFreaK: which is the command?
[07:13] <tehdarkllama> join #dsp
[07:13] <IndyGunFreak> hol on
[07:14] <seidren> hi there
[07:14] <seidren> i am having problems with my Xserver resolution
[07:14] <daddydoc> any other thoughts?
[07:14] <IndyGunFreak> Agip: you should have gotten a PM w/ the command
[07:15] <seidren> gdm starts in 1440x900 but when i login i get frequency out of range
[07:15] <Agip> IndyGunFreaK: got it
[07:16] <EightEleven> Seidren: Are you logging in to a KDE or Gnome session?
[07:16] <seidren> gnome
[07:17] <seidren> i am installing kubuntu right now.. i was gonna give kdm a shot
[07:17] <JayRoe> can someone recommend a GUI for the bootmanager?
[07:17] <EightEleven> It could be a tool that sets your resolution after login.
[07:17] <EightEleven> Seidren: Does it happen to all users?
[07:18] <Shafto> JayRoe, A GUI for it? To edit GRUB?
[07:18] <seidren> EightEleven: I only have one user... also.. i just installed kdm and same story
[07:18] <daddydoc> how do I turn off notifications of people entering and leaving this forum?
[07:18] <seidren> the login screen is fine but as soon as i login i get frequency out of range
[07:18] <IndyGunFreak> daddydoc: its in options i think.
[07:18] <linuxgeekery> daddydoc: what IRC client are you using?
[07:19] <daddydoc> konversation
[07:19] <EightEleven> Seidren: And you are now logging in to kde?
[07:19] <seidren> oh..
[07:19] <seidren> let me check
[07:19] <osxdude|desktop> O
[07:19] <osxdude|desktop> sry...
[07:19] <osxdude|desktop> I'm gonna shut down. I still have my laptop...
[07:20] <south01> hi i cannot install my bluetooth to the ubuntu, i am using a laptop and it is internal drive
[07:20] <Newbie_Dude> daddydoc: what IRC client are you using
[07:20] <seidren> oh yeah.. gnome is the problem
[07:20] <seidren> kde started fine
[07:20] <EightEleven> JayRoe: Does Grub not have some GUI?
[07:20] <EightEleven> Seidren: Then gnome must be starting some resolution setting tool.
[07:21] <seidren> eighteleven: yeah i have noticed this before.. its something to do with setting the dpi and stuff..
[07:22] <seidren> this was a fresh install of ubuntu on a new machine
[07:22] <seidren> i'll stick to kde.. but someone needs to find out what the deal is with gnome
[07:22] <south01> hi i cannot install my bluetooth to the ubuntu, i am using a laptop and it is internal drive
[07:23] <HairyDude> I've set up an email account in Evolution, using password auth for IMAP. When I click "Send/Receive", it tries to connect and fails... which isn't surprising because it never asks me for a password!
[07:23] <seidren> thanks eighteleven
[07:23] <EightEleven> Seidren: Maybe you could file a bug-report and specifially mention your monitor and graphical card in it.
[07:23] <HairyDude> So how do I tell it the password?
[07:23] <seidren> yeah i'll do that
[07:23] <seidren> later
[07:23] <EightEleven> I also run Gnome on 1400x900, but in my case the default install gave no problems.
[07:23] <EightEleven> Later
[07:24] <JayRoe> what are the different run levels for in boot-up manager?
[07:25] <Cairna> Quick question? Anyone got the time?
[07:25] <LDZ420> !QT
[07:25] <ubotu> Qt is the Q toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt applications
[07:25] <lufis> Cairna: the time? :p
[07:26] <captainm> !anyone | Cairna
[07:26] <ubotu> Cairna: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:26] <LDZ420> !D-Bus
[07:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about d-bus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:26] <EightEleven> JayRoe: Runlevels are for start to multi-user, text-only or single user modes.
[07:26] <lufis> Cairna: it's 12:24 here in my time zone
[07:26] <Cairna> Harrumph.
[07:26] <eighty4> Cairna, timezone? ;-)
[07:26] <Cairna> EST! ;)
[07:26] <lufis> ;)
[07:26] <Cairna> If I set ubuntu to in CFDISK to non bootable... I assume that means I can't boot to it after I restart?
[07:27] <eighty4> sorry, i'm in the UK. google might now ;-)
[07:27] <PriceChild> @now est | Cairna
[07:27] <un4get> hey, i was just wondering, im using firefox and there are some bidding site i cant watch the auction, it doesnt show the whole details of the website, like counter for the ending of the bid etc... any idea why???
[07:27] <EightEleven> It's 19:27 in my timezone.
[07:27] <lufis> un4get: have you tried another browser?
[07:28] <un4get> well, opera isnt working, i dont know why but it just doesnt show any webpages at all
[07:28] <un4get> and some other browser that comes with ubuntu does the same thing...
[07:28] <EightEleven> Cairna: Maybe, some bootloaders just ignore that flag.
[07:28] <Newbie_Dude> how do I mount a CD ISO in ubuntu?
[07:28] <lufis> un4get: epiphany?
[07:28] <un4get> yes something like that
[07:29] <un4get> you got any other suggestions?
[07:29] <lufis> un4get: are you sure it isn't an issue with your connection? they show no pages at all?
[07:29] <un4get> opera doesnt show but at the same time firefox and the other epienphy thing is working but not proper on the specific website
[07:29] <JayRoe> EightEleven is the value  Sxx the point at which the script should be loaded? So it would load S11 before S12 and so on.
[07:29] <lufis> un4get: ebay?
[07:29] <Cairna> Anyone have an idea? :/
[07:30] <hinogi> is there a physical adresse extension option for ubuntu to adress 4gb of ram?
[07:30] <un4get> nop, its an israeli site called p1000.co.il
[07:30] <lufis> un4get: oh, i don't know... you could try spoofing your user agent in case it's ie-only or something
[07:30] <Spaceman3750> How do I install the visor kernel?
[07:30] <Spaceman3750> Can I get it using APT?
[07:30] <EightEleven> JayRoe: During boot, S11 is indeed run before S12 is.
[07:30] <un4get> what do you mean?
[07:31] <lufis> un4get: go to https://addons.mozilla.org and search for "user agent switcher"... it's an extension that makes sites look like you're using another browser
[07:31] <sercan> Ubuntu did't auto mount my Philips GoGear when plug in. How can I get work it?
[07:31] <un4get> ok, thank you...
[07:31] <lufis> un4get: some sites have poor usability standards and make things ie-only
[07:31] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
[07:31] <steve99_> any ideas?
[07:31] <hak5fa1> Newbie_Dude:  mount -t iso9660 -o loop war3ft1.iso /tmp
[07:31] <JayRoe> EightEleven thanks for the help, I'll give it a shot
[07:31] <hak5fa1> sudo  mount -t iso9660 -o loop war3ft1.iso /tmp
[07:32] <Spaceman3750> sercan: I believe "sudo mount /dev/[device] ", but double-check it with someone else
[07:32] <igglybuff> hi
[07:32] <EightEleven> Steve99_: Did you google for it?
[07:32] <steve99_> EightEleven,  ya
[07:33] <sercan> Spaceman3750 : How can I know what is mount point of my philips?
[07:33] <Johto> w00t, my old debian box just had its uptime record of 100 days :)
[07:33] <un4get> nop, doesnt help...
[07:33] <BigL> hey guys
[07:34] <Sasha_> Hi, BigL.
[07:34] <BigL> i have a few internal hard disks lying around, for now nad for future use, is there some cable/etc i can get that can lets say hookup to my laptop via usb or something while other side can connect to internal hard disk and kinda make a drive i can go browse in the internal?
[07:34] <zedfloyd> how do i run wine on 64bit ubuntu feisty fawn?  I am a ubuntu newbie...
[07:34] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Good question, I can't remember what command lists the inserted drives...
[07:34] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Standby
[07:34] <Newbie_Dude> hak5fa1: ok i did that, but where did it go? :P
[07:34] <mon^rch> my windows decorations dissappear when I enable desktop effects. whats the fix please?
[07:35] <eighty4> sercan, just tryping "mount" into a console will list all currently mounted drives
[07:35] <lufis> mon^rch: window decorations? what do you mean?
[07:35] <mon^rch> window borders
[07:35] <Cairna> How do I know what the (hd0,#) of my partitions are? In CFDISK, it says Recovery is sda2, but in Grub file it says that Ubuntu is 02, and it works...
[07:35] <Johto> he means the window borders
[07:35] <mon^rch> buttons
[07:35] <lufis> mon^rch: run "metacity"
[07:35] <steve99_> Solutions???
[07:35] <Johto> mojojojo_: when that "desktop effect" is compiz, and compiz is "not stable"
[07:36] <Johto> mojojojo_: i ment for mon^rch
[07:36] <sharky> hi there any ideas y skype has no sound i have just installed it and there seems to be no sound and it wont let me connect to any calls ive played around with all the sound devices but no luck any ideas?? thanx :)
[07:36] <mribas> hola
[07:36] <jsestri2> sharky: do the rest of your programs have sound?
[07:36] <mon^rch> I want the desktop effects to work... beryl decorations dont work either
[07:36] <Newbie_Dude> hak5fa1: nevermind i found it :) linux is so weird
[07:36] <EightEleven> Steve99_: What is the problem that comes with that message?
[07:36] <mribas> hola
[07:36] <lufis> !es > mribas
[07:36] <mribas> holalufis
[07:36] <Johto> mon^rch: you have something "weird" if neither works
[07:36] <sharky> jsestri2: yep
[07:36] <BigL> anyone know anything
[07:37] <mribas> hi lufis
[07:37] <steve99_> EightEleven, games 2 slolw
[07:37] <EightEleven> sercan: with the mount command you can list which drives are inserted.
[07:37] <mon^rch> support for desktop effects WAS awesome when I had this problem before...
[07:37] <jsestri2> sharky: have you looked into what skyp uses for a sound driver?
[07:37] <Jerome_> hmm
[07:37] <metguru> Has anyone here installed google earth in ubuntu? please PM me cause this room is insanely huge
[07:37] <Jerome_> I have a slight issue, when I boot, it says something like DMI_String: out of memory
[07:37] <south01> hi i cannot install my bluetooth to the ubuntu, i am using a laptop and it is internal drive
[07:37] <Jerome_> any ideas?
[07:37] <lufis> mon^rch: effects aren't totally stable yet, you could try re-enabling them
[07:37] <sharky> jsestri2: no were do u suggest looking?? just google for it??
[07:38] <Cairna> How do I know what the (hd0,#) of my partitions are? In CFDISK, it says Recovery is sda2, but in Grub file it says that Ubuntu is 02, and it works...
[07:38] <Savenger> does anyone know how to change the buffer size for my sound card?
[07:38] <eighty4> metguru, i believe google runs its own respositories for linux. will look and get back to you if they include google earth, but stay in the channel
[07:38] <jsestri2> sharky: google would be one way...there may be sound settings for skyp as well
[07:38] <Johto> Cairna: in grub 0 is 1
[07:38] <Johto> Cairna: and 1 is 2
[07:38] <mon^rch> there was a simple console fix for no decorations....
[07:38] <Johto> Cairna: and so on
[07:39] <Cairna> Gotcha. Thanks.
[07:39] <jsestri2> Does anyone know what sort of programs keep the screen saver from running?
[07:39] <Spaceman3750> sercan: I can't remember how to list your mountable drives...  I'm looking and can't find it.  I just used it yesterday, but it has slipped my mind.  Try opening the /dev folder and see if anything looks like the camera in there
[07:39] <sharky> jsestri2: yeh i have messed around with all the skype sound settings to but no luck il have a look on google :)
[07:39] <boodle> Greetings peeps. Quick strange question.. can someone direct me to a basic howto/software/method to setup a user on an ubuntu box that does NOT have any networking access (for children)
[07:40] <jsestri2> sharky: in all likelyhood your problem isn't that uncommon, so google should have some answers, let me know if you can find anything and i'll give it a try
[07:40] <Cairna> Off I go to try again....
[07:40] <boodle> Meaning the computer does but the user doesn't
[07:40] <eighty4> metguru, http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ - not sure if the repo carries Google Earth though :\
[07:40] <un4get> is there any problem with drivers for nVidia FX5200? cause i tried to install them last time and it worked for a day or two an then my computer screen went black and i had to reinstall ubuntu...
[07:40] <sharky> jsestri2: kk cool cheers
[07:40] <jsestri2> boodle: don't give them access?
[07:40] <metguru> eighty4, there is a download available for google earth, but it comes in a bin file
[07:41] <Johto> boodle: dunno how to disable tcp/ip on user bases, what if you just dont enable them to run any network apps?
[07:41] <metguru> eighty4, i have no idea what to do with it
[07:41] <Flannel> !earth | metguru
[07:41] <ubotu> metguru: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository
[07:41] <Flannel> metguru: it's in medibuntu as a package
[07:41] <un4get> is there any problem with drivers for nVidia FX5200? cause i tried to install them last time and it worked for a day or two an then my computer screen went black and i had to reinstall ubuntu...
[07:41] <boodle> Johto, any decent interface to remove network app access (per user) ?
[07:41] <jsestri2> boodle: don't give them access to the network driver...
[07:42] <eighty4> metguru, http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=44713&topic=1135
[07:42] <Johto> boodle: dunno, the whole idea sounds funky, because, linux(unix) without network access is like..er...fish without water ? :D
[07:42] <boodle> jsestri2, ummm ok snds great but I thought that wasn't file based... is it 'dev' driver?
[07:42] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Find anything?
[07:42] <un4get> anyone?
[07:42] <metguru> eighty4, thanks
[07:42] <EightEleven> Boodle: You could install a firewall that blocks everything except what your computer needs.
[07:42] <eighty4> metguru, no probs
[07:42] <boodle> jsestri2, or is that /proc restricted
[07:43] <milllmannn> anyone know of a good resource for setting up postfix on dapper?
[07:43] <brainiac8008> hi.  i'm really panicked.  I added timout_timestamp=0 to my /etc/sudoers file and now nothing that requires admin. tasks will work
[07:43] <EightEleven> Spaceman3750: Is the mount command not suitable?
[07:43] <jsestri2> jsestri2 drivers are filebased...
[07:43] <steve99_>  fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!?
[07:43] <boodle> EightEleven, I know but frankly then it's into admin-ing that and I'd rather (if easier) just say this user can't get out of localhost
[07:43] <Spaceman3750> EightEleven: He doesn't know the mount point of the camera
[07:43] <jsestri2> boodle: let me think on it a minute, i have a couple of ideas to try also
[07:43] <Johto> boodle: yeah, you could build a iptables filter script(firewall) which is ran when the user logs in..and use that to block stuff
[07:43] <Spaceman3750> I can't remember the command to list the mount points
[07:43] <proog> how come webmin isn't in the feisty packages? is there a better alternative for feisty?
[07:43] <mon^rch> help please... I need the console fix for having no decorations after enabling desktop effects
[07:43] <Spaceman3750> EightEleven: Your help would be appreciated :)
[07:43] <Johto> boodle: or, do a script that simply puts the network interface down while they use the account? :D
[07:44] <Sasha_> Thanks for your help earlier, NigelS.
[07:44] <brainiac8008>  hi.  i'm really panicked.  I added timeout_timestamp=0 to my /etc/sudoers file and now nothing that requires admin. tasks will work
[07:44] <boodle> Johto, been awhile fooling with iptables...can these be setup on a per user basis?
[07:44] <EightEleven> Spaceman3750: If you type "mount" on a terminal, it just lists all mount points.
[07:44] <EightEleven> :)
[07:44] <boodle> Johto, hehe could work
[07:44] <Spaceman3750> EightEleven: I didn't know that :)
[07:44] <Spaceman3750> EightEleven: You learn something new every day :P
[07:44] <finalbeta> brainiac8008: boot from the live CD, mount the partition, check it back.
[07:44] <lafayette> hey i am having trouble sshing into my server. when i was on the local network i was able to, but now that i am away i cannot
[07:44] <lafayette> ports 80 and 22 are forwarded
[07:44] <Johto> boodle: like simples way i can think of is to run usign root in some script "ifdown eth0" :D
[07:45] <lafayette> and apache is working
[07:45] <bulmer> lafayette: do you have a firewall?
[07:45] <lafayette> but i get the error: ssh: connect to host chicago.dsndojo.com port 22: Connection refused
[07:45] <brainiac8008> finalbeta, you mean that I should go and use the live cd and erase that entry from the file?
[07:45] <Johto> boodle: and then in the logout script via root "ifup eth0"
[07:45] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Type "mount" and pastebin the output
[07:45] <Johto> crude but should work :D
[07:45] <boodle> Johto, yep...sudo script to take it down would work
[07:45] <finalbeta> lafayette: does your ISP block those incoming ports? Mine does.
[07:45] <lafayette> well i didn't install one
[07:45] <lafayette> i don't know
[07:45] <joey__> kubuntu looks cool
[07:45] <lafayette> it doesn't block 80
[07:45] <finalbeta> brainiac8008: yes,.
[07:45] <Torsan> !grub
[07:45] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:45] <joey__> looks better than ubuntu
[07:46] <brainiac8008> finalbeta, ty so much!  why didn't I think of that?
[07:46] <joey__> I wonder how xubuntu looks like
[07:46] <proog> is there an alternative to webmin since webmin isn't in the feisty packages?
[07:46] <bulmer> iptables is installed by default, but may have empty rules
[07:46] <brainiac8008> finalbeta, I'll try it
[07:46] <metguru> eighty4, i got an error when i trtied that http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30025/
[07:46] <lafayette> i was able to ssh locally, would ssh block over the internet?
[07:46] <milllmannn> anyone know a good walkthrough on setting up Postfix on Dapper?
[07:46] <joey__> anyone would like to comment?
[07:46] <lafayette> would ssh be blocked over the internet?
[07:46] <jsestri2> boodle: iptables are a solution but will be significant work. I'm wondering if you couldnt get firestarter to do it for you
[07:46] <finalbeta> lafayette: locally, you don't mean <IP_ADDRESS> locally right?
[07:46] <lafayette> i mean
[07:47] <bulmer> lafayette: nope
[07:47] <sercan> I couldn't
[07:47] <lafayette> no
[07:47] <Spaceman3750> joey__: www.xfce.org
[07:47] <Johto> jsestri2: but wouldnt it be easier to kill the network interface :D
[07:47] <boodle> jsestri2, having a look now
[07:47] <sercan> seeing "USB Vendor Specific Interface"
[07:47] <eighty4> metguru, yikes. no idea.
[07:47] <eighty4> !Medibuntu
[07:47] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[07:47] <lafayette> i was able to access the computer by ssh using the dnsdojo.com url yesterday when i was on the same router
[07:47] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Try to mount that
[07:47] <lafayette> now i am in another state and trying to use it, but i get the connection refused error
[07:47] <regis> hello, can anyone tell me how to warn the maintainer of flash that their package has a problem(md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz)
[07:48] <metguru> eighty4, I guess Ill just try to install that
[07:48] <eighty4> metguru, try http://www.medibuntu.org
[07:48] <teethdood> I'm looking for a movie catalog app, can anyone recommend one?
[07:48] <finalbeta> lafayette: then the isp blocks.
[07:48] <bulmer> lafayette: what is the ip address of your box? can we test it?
[07:48] <lafayette> could iptables be the problem?
[07:48] <regis> teethdood, gc films or gc star
[07:48] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone know a good DOSBox frontend?
[07:48] <lafayette> how would that help?
[07:48] <jsestri2> Johto: boodle: I wanted to address that he wants the machine to still have access to the internet. boodle, do you care if the computer has access while one of the non-priv users is logged in?
[07:48] <Newbie_Dude> or an IRC channel for Ubuntu gaming?
[07:48] <sercan> media:/camera ?
[07:48] <teethdood> regis, good deal will try them
[07:49] <bulmer> lafayette: what is the ip address of your box? can we test it? <-- see the 2nd
[07:49] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Type mount into the terminal and pastebin the output
[07:49] <lafayette> chicago.dnsdojo.com
[07:49] <Spaceman3750> sercan: it would be /dev/<device>
[07:49] <regis> is there any devs here?
[07:50] <Johto> jsestri2: boodle: yes if you dont care that the machine has working networking while the non priv user is logged, then the killing of interface will be the easiest way :)
[07:50] <bulmer> lafayette: how do you know your ip address has not changed? and that chicago.dnsdojo.com has been re-assigned to someone else?
[07:50] <Newbie_Dude> Do I always have to mount an ISO into "/tmp" for the programs to recognize it or can i mount it anywhere
[07:50] <Wizek> are there any ways to burn a cd from Live CD if i have only 1 cd/dvd drive?
[07:50] <sercan> My output http://rafb.net/p/9aRQCW94.html
[07:50] <lafayette> bulmer: well i can access my web pages
[07:50] <Johto> Newbie_Dude: no need to use /tmp
[07:51] <Newbie_Dude> Johto: thanks
[07:51] <banlieue> I can't for the life of me seem to be able to change the icon for "Volume Applet".. anyone think they could point me in the right direction?
[07:51] <bulmer> lafayette: okay and thats from same box you're trying to ssh into right?
[07:51] <lafayette> yes
[07:51] <voraistos> hi. this is not ubuntu-support related, but i presume someone here will know :P . Main problem with linux - especially on not-so-fast machines - is gaming. So while mom likes linux, my sisters like directX. I was wondering if, somehow, there is a gnu/Windows kernel out there, so i could run everything (gnome, bash, and tuxracer) on top of a windows kernel, while taking care of the wasted hdd space (IE, wmp, security holes r
[07:51] <voraistos> elated to the mouse cursor, etc). I know it should be possible, i just would like to know if there is a project  or something to make that easy.
[07:51] <Johto> Newbie_Dude: for example i use /media/iso directory...
[07:51] <jsestri2> boodle: johto: you can make iptable rules that specify the owner of the packet, so if blocking outbound tcp/udp packets given a user is fine, then johto's solution could be best
[07:51] <lafayette> 80 and 22 are forwarded to the same box and apache is working over 80
[07:51] <banlieue> I added a /status/audio-volume-high.png etc to my theme directory, but it's refusing to use it, it seems
[07:52] <lafayette> and 22 worked with ssh when i was behind the same router
[07:52] <Newbie_Dude> Johto: good place, i'll try that.
[07:52] <boodle> jsestri2, cool
[07:52] <eighty4> voraistos, have you looked at Cygwin?
[07:52] <voraistos> nope :P
[07:52] <lafayette> could any of you guess what could be going wrong?
[07:52] <voraistos> most of the time when i see winsomething i dont look :P
[07:52] <eighty4> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin
[07:53] <bulmer> lafayette: what kind of router/dsl modem is it?
[07:53] <samwize> cygwin is unix emulator
[07:53] <lafayette> linksys something
[07:53] <trakie> voraisos: i suggest looking into cedega
[07:53] <boodle> Johto, hrm... don't see any user-specific config offerings for policy editing in firestarter.. well can read up on it..
[07:53] <voraistos> cedega is slow, too slow
[07:53] <lafayette> i don't know how to access that remotely
[07:53] <bulmer> lafayette: you also need to respond with a prefix nick or else i will miss your responses
[07:53] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Is "/proc/bus/usb" what you described as the camera?
[07:54] <lafayette> bulmer: okay. i don't know what port to try to access the router on.
[07:54] <Spaceman3750> Or did you get that description from the main "Computer" page?
[07:54] <tim167> hi, is there something like camstudio ( http://www.camstudio.org/ ) for ubuntu ?
[07:54] <boodle> Johto, well will just do your idea :) thank you
[07:54] <voraistos> the idea is no emulation, i mean i am sure i saw xorg running on windows before.
[07:54] <lafayette> bulmer: but i do know the ports are both forwarded to the same machine
[07:54] <brainiac8008> finalbeta:  I am running the live cd and mounted my ubuntu partition.  now what
[07:54] <eighty4> lafa
[07:54] <bulmer> lafayette: usually its a web enabled router/dsl modem..port 80
[07:54] <sercan> No it is in Desktop
[07:54] <eighty4> lafayette, most routers are at http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[07:55] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Did you just try to double-click it?
[07:55] <lafayette> yeah but i am running apache on that port
[07:55] <Spaceman3750> sercan: It might mount it automatically
[07:55] <finalbeta> brainiac8008: use sude gedit /pathtofileyoumessedup
[07:55] <teethdood> I need an app like a media center that would list all movie files that I have so I can click on it to play
[07:55] <bulmer> lafayette: but it has to be configure to be accessable from the internet side
[07:55] <banlieue> ah I was wrong...... ONLY the stock_volume-max icon seems the work, the other (min, med, mute) do not
[07:55] <trakie> tim167: look into gtk-recordmydesktop
[07:55] <bulmer> lafayette: you are running an apache on your router/dsl modem? how did you do that?
[07:56] <tim167> trakie, cool thanks!
[07:56] <sercan> When I click it says "unknown error unknown model"
[07:56] <brainiac8008> finalbeta, it is /etc/sudoers.  i used the command sudo visudo to edit it.  it said that I had to use visudo
[07:56] <banlieue> brb i mightve fixed it
[07:56] <Anlar> tim167: "wink" is the best
[07:56] <lafayette> bulmer: no i am running a development server behind the router. the router is forwarding 22 and 80 to the server.
[07:56] <Abhi123> how can i open port 8080 in ubuntu??
[07:56] <voraistos> uh ? cygwin doesnt seem to be an emulator to me ?!!!
[07:56] <lafayette> bulmer: yesterday i was able to ssh to the server, but today i cannot
[07:56] <telexicon> Abhi123, ubuntu doesn't run a firewall by default
[07:56] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Do you have anything else plugged into your USB ports?
[07:57] <eighty4> it's not an emulator, it provides a POSIX-compliant set of GNU tools within windows
[07:57] <Wizek> are there any ways to burn a cd from Live CD if i have only 1 cd/dvd drive?
[07:57] <Abhi123> ok
[07:57] <sercan> no
[07:57] <mattva01> does anyone know if the  sobby 0.4 backport for dapper is available anywhere?
[07:57] <bulmer> lafayette: am a bit confused of your setup..can you elaborate? ie which physical device is which and connected to which?
[07:57] <Abhi123> i mean ubuntu server
[07:57] <steve99_> hi
[07:57] <steve99_> how can i enable shm?
[07:57] <Spaceman3750> sercan: Type "sudo mount /proc/bus/usb" into a terminal
[07:57] <Abhi123> telexicon, this is ubuntu server
[07:57] <tim167> Anlar, do you have a link to ubuntu version of Wink ?
[07:58] <telexicon> Abhi123, im not sure of the 'right way'
[07:58] <lafayette> bulmer: the server is connected to the router which is connected to the modem
[07:58] <Anlar> tim167: http://www.debugmode.com/wink/
[07:58] <sankko> hello
[07:58] <telexicon> Abhi123, if you wanted to use iptables directly you could do something like, iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
[07:58] <Anlar> tim167: you have to follow the instructions but it is FAR ahead the other applications
[07:58] <bulmer> Wizek: i have not tried this yet..but maybe you can chroot, then mount the hd and copy the iso to the hd, then burn from within chroot?
[07:58] <Flannel> Abhi123: You don't open the port, you just make something listen to it.  What program are you trying tohave listen?
[07:58] <jdavis__> how do I used emerald with compiz?
[07:58] <eighty4> lafayette, have you tried http://<IP_ADDRESS> ?? that is what most routers respond on
[07:58] <Abhi123> Flannel, jboss
[07:58] <Flannel> Abhi123: so, configure jboss to listen on port 8080, and it will.  No firewall mucking necessary
[07:58] <osotogari> Hello, does anyone know how to reset the visualisation options in rythmbox? It keeps crashing when i try to enable them
[07:59] <tim167> Alnar thanks i'll have a look
[07:59] <Seoke> How do I upgrade my ubuntu version from 6.06 to 7.04?
[07:59] <Flannel> Seoke: you upgrade to 6.10 and then to 7.04
[07:59] <Flannel> !upgrade | Seoke
[07:59] <ubotu> Seoke: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:59] <Abhi123> but when i scan using nmap the port is not open
[07:59] <bulmer> lafayette you have your router directly forwarding to your linux box? ie like perhaps configured the router  as DMZ'd ?
[07:59] <lafayette> eighty4: thank you, but i am not on the same local network as the router so that address is not helpful
[07:59] <trakie> wizek: have you tried inserting the cd and then when its automatically mounted right clicj the desktop icon and copy disc?
[07:59] <Abhi123> i cant access 8080 from other machine
[07:59] <Spaceman3750> Sercan, how goes it?
[07:59] <Seoke> Flannel, It only tells me how to upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 how do I upgarde to 6.10 from 6.04
[07:59] <Flannel> Abhi123: then you must not have properly configured jboss to listen on it (and restarted jboss after changing config files)
[07:59] <lafayette> bulmer: no, only the two ports 80 and 22
[08:00] <Abhi123> jboss is fine
[08:00] <supertones> so are the changes from kde 3.5 to 4 going to be anything that special?
[08:00] <Abhi123> it is running
[08:00] <borys> Does any have experience accessing a partition on a Promise Fasttrak133 Raid-0 stripe under Feisty? The volume shows up under File Browser, but I'm unable to access it.
[08:00] <Flannel> Abhi123: but it's not listening on 8080.
[08:00] <Flannel> Seoke: It tells you how to do that too, further down.  it's 6.06 not 6.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:00] <Abhi123> nmap doesnt show any other port
[08:00] <bulmer> lafayette I can ssh to your machine I think, it is responding, but off course since i dont have a user account on it, i dont know hwat to use
[08:00] <Flannel> Seoke: ack, sorry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[08:01] <local> what option to aptitude will tell it to overwrite the /etc config files that were previously installed... i tried --reinstall however that says "not overwritting deleted /etc... file"
[08:01] <Abhi123> Flannel, 23:26:42,281 INFO  [Http11Protocol]  Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-<IP_ADDRESS>-8080
[08:01] <lafayette> bulmer: you do not get an error? you get a password request?
[08:01] <Flannel> Abhi123: Looks like that's bound to localhost
[08:01] <bulmer> lafayette: it prompts me for a password
[08:01] <Newbie_Dude> Is there an Ubuntu-gamers type of #channel?
[08:02] <Abhi123> do i need to give my nat ip?
[08:02] <lafayette> hm it prompts me too now
[08:02] <lafayette> i don't know wtf happened
[08:02] <lafayette> but thanks for your help
[08:02] <Flannel> Abhi123: You probably don't want to bind it to any specific IP
[08:02] <bulmer> lafayette: no sweat..sometimes it just needs another pair of eyes :)
[08:02] <Spaceman3750> Newbie_Dude: You could try irc.ubuntu.com
[08:02] <rkgl> hi, I am using a feisty fawn and x hangs when I play mp4 or any video...
[08:02] <xipietotec> question: I'm editing the file /etc/default/acpi-support and there's a section with STOP_SERVICES="mysql " to add more services to stop, do I add another STOP_SERVICES="" line, or just add more to the string?
[08:02] <baikonur> local: you can delete --purge the configuration files
[08:03] <bulmer> Abhi123: you're attempting to hit your jboss server from a valid internet ip address?
[08:03] <Wizek> how can i have premissions out of terminal? i mean in the GUI.
[08:03] <Flannel> Spaceman3750, Newbie_Dude, irc.ubuntu.com is this server (it redirects to freenode)
[08:03] <xipietotec> Wizek, gksudo / kdesu
[08:03] <Abhi123> from my lan
[08:03] <Spaceman3750> Flannel: Didn't know that, thanks
[08:03] <Abhi123> bulmer, frommy lan
[08:03] <local> baikonur, the package was removed with "remove --purge" already
[08:03] <Wizek> thx
[08:03] <bulmer> Abhi123: and the ip address of your jboss is?
[08:04] <Spaceman3750> sercan, any luck?
[08:04] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
[08:04] <baikonur> local: purge should delete the configuration files
[08:04] <Abhi123> <IP_ADDRESS> LAN IP
[08:04] <steve99_> meaning?
[08:04] <rkgl> hi, my x hangs when I play mp4 or any video... Can any one help
[08:04] <bulmer> Abhi123: how would you like to hit your jboss as? a name or an ipaddress?
[08:04] <xipietotec> question: I'm editing the file /etc/default/acpi-support and there's a section with STOP_SERVICES="mysql " to add more services to stop, do I add another STOP_SERVICES="" line, or just add more to the string?
[08:04] <joey__> people, true fonts can be installed on kubuntu?
[08:04] <local> baikonur,  someone had manually deleted them before the aptitude purge....
[08:04] <baikonur> local: maybe there is a file you created that wasn't in the package originally. dpkg -L packagename shows the content of an installed package
[08:04] <Abhi123> http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/
[08:05] <xipietotec> joey__, yes create a .fonts folder drop them in there
[08:05] <_Ahti> !offtopic
[08:05] <bulmer> Abhi123: and what happens when you do that?
[08:05] <baikonur> local: it's the other way round? and install does not install them again?
[08:05] <tbamr> is it possible to restore default files in /etc/pam.d/ ? someone here deleted the whole /etc/pam.d by mistake
[08:05] <joey__> xipietotec: in $home ?
[08:05] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:05] <_Ahti> !topix
[08:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about topix - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:05] <Abhi123> bulmer, no page
[08:05] <xipietotec> joey__, yep
[08:05] <sdloo> Nabend
[08:05] <tbamr> ?
[08:05] <bulmer> Abhi123: is that from same box as the jboss or another puter?
[08:05] <joey__> xipietotec:  how about installing them system wide?
[08:05] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!??
[08:05] <local> baikonur,  something tracked that the file was manually deleted nad now aptitude is so dam smart it wont do what i want.. which is to put in the file form the package :(
[08:06] <Abhi123> bulmer, from another machine
[08:06] <local> baikonur,  nope.. doesnt isntall htem again
[08:06] <tbamr> is it possible to restore default files in /etc/pam.d/ ? someone here deleted the whole /etc/pam.d by mistake
[08:06] <tbamr> ?
[08:06] <bulmer> Abhi123: from another machine, can you ping that <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[08:06] <Abhi123> yes ofcourse
[08:06] <Abhi123> apache is running on 80
[08:06] <Abhi123> i can access that
[08:06] <xipietotec> joey__, /usr/share/fonts/
[08:06] <bulmer> Abhi123: i dont know so i have to ask :)
[08:07] <aa^way> hello, how to check or install FireWire? Ive plugged it to computer with hands now id like to install it or something.
[08:07] <joey__> xipietotec: is there a package perhaps?
[08:07] <Flannel> Abhi123: I imagine JBoss is bound to localhost.  Check the config file for a bind directive
[08:07] <bulmer> Abhi123: from same box as the jboss, can you hit that same ip address port 8080 ?
[08:07] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
[08:07] <Abhi123> it is ubuntu server , how can i acesses webpages?
[08:07] <local> baikonur,  http://ocaoimh.ie/2005/04/14/debian-sarge-php4-and-apache2-why-do-you-persecute-me     but that doesnt help.. just shows the issue
[08:07] <xipietotec> joey__, I dunno, I don't think so, but if you want fonts to be universal, you just move the font into /usr/share/fonts/
[08:07] <Abhi123> which command bulmer?
[08:08] <bulmer> Abhi123: does your ubuntu have a web browser or lynx?
[08:08] <Abhi123> no
[08:08] <Justi1> if I delete all my desktop panels, how do I add another
[08:08] <bulmer> Abhi123: no? no what?
[08:08] <xipietotec> well, /fonts/truetype or /type1 or /X11
[08:08] <Abhi123> no lynx
[08:08] <Abhi123> i will install lynx
[08:08] <bulmer> Abhi123: what about a web browser?
[08:08] <mhz`> lynx is awesome!
[08:08] <xipietotec> Abhi123, links2 is better
[08:08] <Abhi123> nope.. it is command line
[08:08] <samwize> lynx ftw
[08:09] <bulmer> Abhi123: also a telnet to port 8080 will at least give you some indications
[08:09] <xipietotec> links2 > lynx
[08:09] <Justi1> if I delete all my desktop panels, how do I add another one?
[08:09] <Flannel> Justi1: go to the top/bottom of the screen, right click, "add panel"
[08:09] <Abhi123> ok
[08:09] <baikonur> local: did you try his solution? apt-get remove purge. he uses apt-get not aptitude?
[08:09] <bulmer> Abhi123: you have no X server on that server?
[08:09] <xipietotec> question: I'm editing the file /etc/default/acpi-support and there's a section with STOP_SERVICES="mysql " to add more services to stop, do I add another STOP_SERVICES="" line, or just add more to the string?
[08:10] <local> baikonur,  tried them both... no use
[08:10] <local> baikonur,  also tried dpkg-reconfigure --force package
[08:10] <rkgl> hi, my x hangs when I play mp4 or any video... Can any one help
[08:10] <Abhi123> bulmer, NO X
[08:11] <borys> question: Does any have experience accessing a partition on a Promise Fasttrak133 Raid-0 stripe under Feisty? The volume shows up under File Browser, but I'm unable to access it. Not quite understanding what dmraid is telling me either.
[08:11] <Wizek> how can i have premissions to edit or copy files out of terminal? i mean in the GUI.
[08:11] <bulmer> Abhi123: also a telnet to port 8080 will at least give you some indications <-- try this
[08:11] <mhz`> anyone happen to know the link to the site regarding storing the wireless WPA/WEP key?
[08:11] <Spaceman3750> Wizek, you can open a file with root permissions in gedit by typing "sudo gedit <file>"
[08:12] <aa^way> hello, how to check or install FireWire? Ive plugged it to computer with hands now id like to install it or something.
[08:12] <baikonur> local: what about downloading the package from packages.ubuntu.com and doing dpkg -i packagename?
[08:12] <brainiac8008> finalbeta, I got it working.  I had to do some crafty stuff of my own but I did it, with your help.  ty
[08:12] <Wizek> Spaceman3750, I want to copy a file from Live CD's desktop, to a real HD...
[08:12] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
[08:13] <bulmer> aa^way: iptables is installed by default, but by default has no rules
[08:13] <local> baikonur,  the files are in the package.. but nto being installed because the system knows they were manually deleted and thinks thats what i want!
[08:13] <Abhi123> bulmer, localmachine it is working
[08:13] <baikonur> local: you could ask in #debian :-)
[08:14] <finalbeta> brainiac8008: glad you figured it out. It's always the best way, get some pointers, figure out part of it yourself. That way you don't forget it ;)
[08:14] <Wizek> I would like to copy a file from Live CD's desktop, to a real HD... How is it possible?
[08:14] <mon^rch> okay... so I got my windows decorations back via beryl... compiz no work-ey
[08:14] <local> lol baikonur  just did
[08:14] <bulmer> Abhi123: come again?
[08:14] <brainiac8008> finalbeta, thanks again
[08:14] <Wizek> I would like to copy a file from Live CD's desktop, to a real HD... How is it possible?
[08:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Wizek: what format is the hd you want to write to.
[08:15] <nikin> Wikek: mount the HD
[08:15] <_joey> I am not trying to start a flaming discussion here. How would you rate SuSE distribution?
[08:15] <Anlar> _joey: the best.
[08:15] <nikin> or compy the files to pendrive
[08:15] <mattva01> does anyone know if the  sobby 0.4 backport for dapper is available anywhere?
[08:15] <Wizek> Jack_Sparrow, ntfs i think
[08:15] <bulmer> _joey: i like it myself, thats prior to 10.x ..i have not fiddle with 10.x or opensuse
[08:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Wizek: if ntfs you will need ntfs-3g
[08:16] <Anlar> _joey: it has een selected for use by several agencies and large corporations, and it contains features geared towards larger environments. it is well finished all the way and just absolutely fabulous.
[08:16] <bulmer> i cannot dis-agree with Anlar
[08:16] <bulmer> :)
[08:16] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: Just e-mail it to yourself, then boot into whatever OS can access the regular HDD, and copy it there
[08:16] <Abhi123> bulmer, from local machine i tried to access through lynx i can see the pages
[08:16] <Anlar> _joey: there are lots of suse/novell specific tiny tweaks in it, and they just make you happy daily :)
[08:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Wizek: Do you have a usb flash drive available?
[08:16] <Justi1> spaceman3750: good solution :)
[08:17] <_joey> Anlar do you if open suse offers livecd to check it out?
[08:17] <Spaceman3750> Justi1: Thanks :P
[08:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Wizek: PErhaps if you tell us the reason we might have a better soultion
[08:17] <Abhi123> bulmer, http://localhost:8080/application
[08:17] <Wizek> it is 650MB :DDD
[08:17] <bulmer> Abhi123: okay, cool..now from another puter, do the same telnet'ing on port 8080
[08:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Wizek: iso?
[08:17] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: Thumb drive?
[08:17] <Wizek> yeah
[08:17] <Abhi123> ok
[08:17] <Wizek> iso
[08:17] <Anlar> _joey: umm, I'm not sure. there supposedly is one, but they haven't done those a lot so it is likely it's not the same quality as the installed version in case it exists
[08:17] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: I mean, do you have a thumb drive you can put it on?
[08:17] <Abhi123> bulmer, will putty work on 8080?
[08:18] <Wizek> what is thumb drive?
[08:18] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: Nevermind :P
[08:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Wizek: flash drive.. memory stick etc
[08:18] <bulmer> Abhi123: maybe, i dont remember how to configure putty to use port 8080
[08:18] <Wizek> oh
[08:18] <Wizek> i don't have that big
[08:18] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: Yeah, a memory stick would work, got one of those?
[08:18] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
[08:18] <steve99_>
[08:18] <steve99_> how do fix that?
[08:18] <Jimbob> yes putty will work on 8080 long as you config ssh to use 8080 ;p
[08:18] <Abhi123> ok
[08:19] <baikonur> Abhi123: you can set the port that's going to be used in putty
[08:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Wizek: else follow the ntfs-3g info then write it to your ntfs
[08:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g
[08:19] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:19] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: Do you have a CD burner and reader, or a combo?
[08:19] <jdavis__> can anyone tell me why 'compiz -c emerald &' gives me only the top left corner of the emerald theme and all the buttons work as if they're there but are invisible along with the rest of the decoration?
[08:20] <Abhi123> baikonur, i dont have sshd in server
[08:20] <Wizek> yes i have one, but i have Live CD running in it ;)
[08:20] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: Or another computer on the network?
[08:20] <baikonur> Abhi123: what do you mean?
[08:21] <Wizek> network is a good way
[08:21] <ralphius> anyone any idea how to play wma in amarok?
[08:21] <Wizek> thx u all! :D
[08:21] <Spaceman3750> Wizek: It looks like your best option right now :)
[08:21] <Justi1> How can I stop tooltips from poping up when I place the cursor over a window in the 'taskbar'
[08:21] <Spaceman3750> No problem :
[08:21] <Spaceman3750> :)
[08:21] <_joey> Anlar there's live dvd however; the size of its image is 1.7G
[08:21] <conorkirkpatrick> I *would* flood this with happiness, but I will get banned

[08:23] <aztracker1> anyone know when/if alsa 1.0.14 will make it into feisty repos?
[08:23] <JayRoe> is it possible to vouch for a script as root?
[08:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[08:23] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[08:23] <ralphius> Ok thanks! ;-)
[08:23] <jetscreamer> speaking of, any links on getting the livecd to work on an old thinkpad with a savage gpu?
[08:24] <steve99_> fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
[08:24] <steve99_> SOMEONE?
[08:24] <jetscreamer> w/o using 'safe mode'
[08:24] <conorkirkpatrick> jetscreamer: Look at the boot options
[08:24] <jetscreamer> yeah but which one
[08:24] <Newbie_Dude> How come it seems I don't have any privelages to do anything. I insert CDs and it won't let me access the contents (sometimes), I just put my thumbdrive in and it said I didn't have permission to delete something out of it !!!!
[08:24] <conorkirkpatrick> jetscreamer: It should be something about a framebuffer
[08:24] <aztracker1> jetscreamer, try:  noapic nolapic  ...boot options
[08:24] <un4get> is there any problem with drivers for nVidia FX5200? cause i tried to install them last time and it worked for a day or two an then my computer screen went black and i had to reinstall ubuntu...
[08:24] <jetscreamer> conorkirkpatrick: i booted with vga=normal
[08:25] <JayRoe> nikin, I've installed mythtv and the media library is on a Vista machine. I'd like it to mount the folders, but fstab won't load them at boot. I can though get fstab to load them manually with fstab -a.
[08:25] <Justi1> How can I stop tooltips from poping up when I place the cursor over a window in the 'taskbar'
[08:25] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: I have that GPU, and I spent forever fixiing it, just got it working
[08:25] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: with that being said
[08:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: Have you used sudo much, have you installed things with scripts instead of manually?
[08:25] <jetscreamer> JayRoe: try using old style /dev/sda1 et al instead of uuid in fstab
[08:25] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: Is there anything wrong right now?
[08:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: What is the format on the pendrive
[08:26] <ahorner> !automatix
[08:26] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:26] <JayRoe> jetscreamer, sorry but I don't I follow.
[08:26] <Newbie_Dude> Jack_Sparrow: not sure i think i formatted it in windows
[08:26] <Justi1> !tooltip
[08:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tooltip - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:26] <ahorner> so should i get automatix

[08:26] <Justi1> !tooltips
[08:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tooltips - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:26] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[08:26] <nikin> JayRoe : maybe you could write a script with is nor Readble by anyone else, and put there   echo "password" | sudo -R fstab -a
[08:26] <Newbie_Dude> Justi1: what tooltips do you want to get rid of
[08:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: It could be ntfs... or fat32.. or ug.. fat16
[08:27] <JayRoe> nikin, how would I do that?
[08:27] <samwize> fat16 is for cavemen
[08:27] <ahorner> ...
[08:27] <Newbie_Dude> Jack_Sparrow: but that doesnt explain why half the CDs i put in the computer i dont have privelages to view.
[08:27] <Justi1> newbie_dude: when I put the cursor over a window in the 'taskbar'
[08:27] <nikin> just write a script....
[08:27] <jetscreamer> JayRoe: by default ubuntu creates an fstab that uses uuid to mound partitions, instead of /dev/sda1 for instance... i've had the automount problem like that, and it 'seems' to only be the windows/(ntfs?) drives.
[08:27] <jetscreamer> s/mound/mount/
[08:27] <Newbie_Dude> Justi1: oh the taskbar, no idea :P
[08:27] <Justi1> newbie_dude: I have a window preview thing, but the tooltip gets in the way
[08:27] <surviver> hello , can anyone help me? in tty 1 (i think its called like that  (ctrl+alt+f1)) i want to change colors like background and stuff just for fun anyone know the commands?
[08:27] <jetscreamer> changing to /dev/sda? works for me on_boot
[08:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: No it dosent, but we are talking about possibly different issues.. Have you used automatix or envy scripts ?  Very bad idea by tht way
[08:28] <Newbie_Dude> Justi1: if you figure it out let me know, i find all the tooltips on the panels to be annoying :p
[08:28] <JayRoe> jetscreamer, my local drives are mounted with /dev/sdx
[08:28] <JayRoe> jetscreamer, but how would I mount a share that way?
[08:28] <jetscreamer> JayRoe: even in the fstab?
[08:28] <Newbie_Dude> Jack_Sparrow: never

[08:28] <jetscreamer> JayRoe: are you trying to mount a share or a local partition
[08:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: what is on the cd's that dont show up?
[08:29] <JayRoe> jetscreamer, a several shares from my Vista pc
[08:29] <ferronica> If any one who have downloaded GTK-2 theme please tell me :(
[08:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ferr yes
[08:29] <Newbie_Dude> Also it gets kinda annoying when I'm going into the /usr/ directory trying to delete something and i have to "gksu nautilus" each time :p
[08:29] <jetscreamer> JayRoe: ah, nevermind... i thought you were dual booting and the partition was local
[08:29] <ferronica> how to make my pannel black and character in white ?
[08:29] <milllmannn> * anyone know a good resource for installing Postfix on dapper?
[08:29] <conorkirkpatrick> I wish my old Dell didn't have such a slow HD, Ubuntu has been booting for 10 minutes :D Oh, there are the icons... *awaits menu bar*
[08:29] <Newbie_Dude> Jack_Sparrow: well my own burnt CDs showed up fine, but when I put in both of my Quake 4 DVDs (from windows) it said i didnt have permission to view and i had to gksu nautilus
[08:30] <jetscreamer> if by panel you mean xterm just edit the default profile (for gnome-terminal)
[08:30] <abuhasan> trying to UNINSTALL realplayer....any help?
[08:30] <ocha> firefox won
[08:30] <surviver> can anyone help me? in tty 1 (i think its called like that  (ctrl+alt+f1)) i want to change colors like background and stuff just for fun anyone know the commands?
[08:30] <ocha> firefox won'
[08:30] <ferronica> If any one who have downloaded GTK-2 theme please tell me :(
[08:30] <conorkirkpatrick> surviver: I think you can only do that in Xterm
[08:30] <jetscreamer> surviver: look at (edit) ~/.bashrc
[08:30] <aztracker1> Newbie_Dude, you can use gksu as the command line (similar to sudo) start for a shortcut in the menu.. I usually do this to add a gksu gedit and gksu nautilus so they're easier to get to..
[08:30] <conorkirkpatrick> surviver: or not :D
[08:31] <jamyskis> does anyone know anything about automount problems beyond fstab?
[08:31] <nikin> ferronica: you had problems installing it?
[08:31] <ocha> firefox won't load up webpages, but i got internet working.  it won't load up webpages like it's no internet, but im on irc.
[08:31] <surviver> conorkirkpatrick, hehe
[08:31] <bulmer> surviver: look into tput
[08:31] <jetscreamer> .bashrc
[08:31] <Newbie_Dude> aztracker1: great idea, i'll make a shortcut that automatically runs gksu nautilus, good thinking :)
[08:31] <jetscreamer> edit it for colorocity
[08:31] <bulmer> surviver: and maybe stty
[08:31] <jamyskis> my dvd-rom drive refuses to automount, the fstab is correct, the automount is set in the config but dvds refuse to automount
[08:31] <jamyskis> and permissions for the /dev/hdc and /dev/cdrom are correct too
[08:31] <surviver> bulmer, thx ill take a look
[08:31] <jetscreamer> see also ~/.bash_profile
[08:31] <JayRoe> nikin you still here?
[08:31] <surviver> jetscreamer, ill take a look :
[08:31] <jetscreamer> try mine first
[08:31] <jetscreamer> :o
[08:31] <samwize> conorkirkpatrick: i remember using 4x speed
[08:32] <nikin> JayRoe: sure
[08:32] <conorkirkpatrick> samwize: SLOOOOOOW right?
[08:32] <conorkirkpatrick> :D
[08:32] <samwize> more than
[08:32] <samwize> i once had a 2x drive though
[08:32] <conorkirkpatrick> samwize: Installer still loading
[08:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: THe one problem.. the flash drive is probably ntfs which can be fixed with ntfs-3g.. the other issue the cd's you will need to ask someone that plays quake..
[08:32] <conorkirkpatrick> oh
[08:32] <conorkirkpatrick> Thats even worse!
[08:32] <jetscreamer> dvd's won't automount if you don't have libdvdcss2 probably
[08:32] <samwize> back in like 1997 :P
[08:32] <jetscreamer> et al
[08:32] <Newbie_Dude> Jack_Sparrow: i jsut checked my thumbdrive, it is FAT32
[08:32] <Commander-Ape> how do i delete all folders in a directory without touching the files, in a shell?
[08:32] <ferronica> nikin: nope, i wanna use its pannel theme only
[08:32] <jetscreamer> if a video dvd
[08:33] <conorkirkpatrick> samwize: Don't know the date, but this is a Dell Dimension L800R
[08:33] <jetscreamer> a data dvd nm
[08:33] <JayRoe> nikin, how should I write the script? at the moment it says "sudo mount //host/share /var/lib/mythtv/vidoes/movies"
[08:33] <ferronica> nikin: just gnome-pannel theme
[08:33] <un4get> conokirkpatrick: now im not working with the drivers, im working with the defult ubuntu settings so i can use the screen, but if i install the drivers via restrict drive manager i wont be able to see nothing (black screen)
[08:33] <nikin> JayRoe:  pm me
[08:33] <Newbie_Dude> Jack_Sparrow: i use my thumbdrive to transfer files from my ubuntu machine to windows machine at school, should I keep FAT32 or reformat?
[08:33] <bulmer> Commander-Ape: try rm -rf /directory/to/erase
[08:33] <nikin> ferronica: i ame afraid i cant help.. i use Xfce4
[08:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: keep fat32
[08:33] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: Have you tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-net (Thats what just made my card start working)
[08:33] <bulmer> Commander-Ape: oopps.that includes all files..hang on..
[08:33] <Commander-Ape> bulmer: i tried to walk around this, because i dont know the names of the folders which are created by a script
[08:33] <un4get> nop should i try it now?
[08:33] <samwize> i still have a dell dimension from 1995 locked up somewhere, its cd drive was replaced but it had a driver conflict and it only accepts floppy now
[08:34] <jetscreamer> heh
[08:34] <Newbie_Dude> Is there a way to mount ISOs that's easier than using terminal? Perhaps like a program that lets the CD show up on the desktop like a normal CD does?
[08:34] <jetscreamer> what's ubuntu for !pdo
[08:34] <serenity> Newbie_Dude:  yes Q4 cds >1 are known to be set to root permissions it's a bug
[08:34] <ferronica> nikin: oh okay
[08:34] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: You could, worst comes to worst, you get thrown to a Shell with no GUI, which is where I was, but you could just reinstall default drivers
[08:34] <serenity> DVD is ok
[08:34] <bulmer> Commander-Ape: it may take me a while to search the man pages..or google..
[08:34] <aztracker1> JayRoe, look into smbfs package...
[08:34] <jetscreamer> !pdo
[08:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pdo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:34] <elmo40> Jack_Sparrow, was it digital, or darth that have a copy of tiny?
[08:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Newbie_Dude: If that problem with the falsh continues it might be corrupt format and need to be reformatted and or checked... but I would stick to fat32 for the flash drive
[08:35] <Newbie_Dude> serenity: Interesting, so it's a Quake4 CD thing, how weird!
[08:35] <un4get> it said "couldnt find package"
[08:35] <jetscreamer> !puo

[08:35] <serenity> Newbie_Dude:  DVD is OK
[08:35] <HEP85> Newbie_Dude: is your user account in the cdrom system group?
[08:35] <un4get> conorkirkpatrick: it said "couldnt find package"
[08:35] <aztracker1> will give you smbmount for mounting smb shares
[08:36] <Newbie_Dude> HEP85: we found the problem it's that Quake4 CDs are knwon to be set to root permission :P according to serenity
[08:36] <mom> Xfce is less cpu-intensive than gnome, meaning it will run better on this piece-of-crap computer, correct?
[08:36] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: I forgot, first do "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx"
[08:36] <conorkirkpatrick> noquotes :D
[08:36] <IndyGunFreak> mom: yes, thats correct
[08:36] <mom> thanks
[08:36] <Newbie_Dude> HEP85: i've only had the problem with the Quake 4 CD, but also the Quake 4 CD was the first non-burnt CD i put in, so it was just coincidence and i thought it was all non-burnt CDs
[08:36] <HEP85> Newbie_Dude: I see
[08:36] <un4get> conorkirkpatrick: it said "package not installed so not removed"
[08:37] <mrsno> Newbie_Dude whilst im not sure about your cd problems, you can copy your q4 directory across from windows, then use the linux patch to patch it for gaming in linux
[08:37] <Newbie_Dude> HEP85: thanks for gisomount, will download that soon
[08:37] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: Okay, thats good, we didn't want it anyway :D Now be sure you type this exactly (without the quotes) "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"
[08:37] <peanutman> i am trying to compile something by letting ./configure make me a makefile, but it complains it can not find any MD5 function, what do i need to install to get md5 functionality.
[08:37] <peanutman> Checking for MD5... no
[08:37] <peanutman> Checking for library containing MD5... no
[08:37] <peanutman> configure: error: need MD5 function
[08:37] <un4get> yep
[08:37] <Newbie_Dude> mrsno: i heard about that :) gonna try that, but wanna get quake2 working first (Quake2 is better IMO) :P
[08:37] <akos> What can I use to format a partition as fat32?
[08:37] <HEP85> akos: gparted
[08:37] <un4get> ok
[08:37] <akos> ok
[08:37] <akos> thx
[08:37] <un4get> installing now
[08:37] <mrsno> Newbie_Dude  quake4 is to quake2 that quake 3 is to quakeworld ;]
[08:38] <elmo40> peanutman, interesting... maybe apt-get install md5?
[08:38] <jetscreamer> sudo mount -t auto -o loop /path/to/blah.iso /mntpoint  what could be easier, esp since you can alias it in .bashrc and it would also be in your history
[08:38] <un4get> conorkirkpatrick: its installing now
[08:38] <peanutman> elmo40: no such package
[08:38] <aleksanteri> what package gnome uses as the sound mixer?
[08:38] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: oh, ok :D
[08:38] <Newbie_Dude> mrsno: Have you tried Open Arena yet? I heard it's better than Quake Arena, downloading it now :)
[08:38] <un4get> conorkirkpatrick: downloading and installing now... after that just do a restart and thats it?
[08:38] <conorkirkpatrick> Not yet
[08:38] <gnomefreak> aleksanteri: alsamixer
[08:38] <elmo40> apt-cache search md5 | grep md5 , then see which app looks closer to the md5 app :P
[08:38] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: there is another command
[08:38] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: I need to remember it, but don't restart
[08:38] <un4get> ok, im gonna tell you after its done installing...
[08:39] <akos> elmo40, its md5sum
[08:39] <un4get> ok no problem...
[08:39] <mrsno> Newbie_Dude im a long time q3'r so i would have to disagree :p but yea its great fun, really looking forward to ET quakewars when its released + native client comes for linux
[08:39] <Newbie_Dude> Does anyone know what "alacarte" is? SOmeone said it could help me with my compiling and installation problems.
[08:39] <gnomefreak> Newbie_Dude: its menu editor
[08:39] <gnomefreak> Merijn: system>prefferences> main menu or menu editor depending what version of ubuntu you are on
[08:40] <Newbie_Dude> gnomefreak: oh ok, well the menu seems pretty editable as it is, i just right-click :p
[08:40] <gnomefreak> dapper may still have alacarte in menu
[08:40] <gnomefreak> Newbie_Dude: same thing
[08:40] <Savenger> can i tell a program to use a different sampling rate than default?
[08:40] <aleksanteri> gnomefreak: yeah, but where kde uses kmix, what gnome uses?
[08:40] <gnomefreak> Newbie_Dude: it opens alacarte
[08:40] <Newbie_Dude> gnomefreak: oh ok :) that is alacarte, cool
[08:40] <aleksanteri> oooh...
[08:40] <gnomefreak> aleksanteri: alsamixer
[08:40] <serenity> aleksanteri: gnome-volume-manager i think?
[08:40] <serenity> alsamixer is cli
[08:41] <elmo40> peanutman, got that? apt-get install md5sum
[08:41] <aleksanteri> now i see... i was wondering why i didn't hear any sound :P
[08:41] <aleksanteri> alsamixer has everything in 0
[08:41] <gnomefreak> serenity: for the most part but it allows you to do things that gnome-volume-control diesnt
[08:41] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone ever gotten Unreal Tournament (the original) to work with the Loki installer? That's my current project.
[08:41] <un4get> conorkirkpatrick: ok, done... installed, what now?

So I'm trying to uninstall all the apache packages.  when I do dpkg -l  I can see apache packages, but if I try apt-get remove <package> it says they aren't installed.
[08:42] <bobonthenet> can anyone recommend a specific tutorial for creating scripts for running terminal applications?  I've never done this before but I'd really like to learn.

[08:43] <JayRoe> nikin I keep getting errors. It doesn't want the -R in there and without it, it doesn't work either
[08:43] <conorkirkpatrick> erUSUL: Do you remember a command to make a new xorg.conf, but one that was really long?
[08:43] <gnomefreak> aleksanteri: what is master set at?
[08:43] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: Yeah, that wasn't the right one
[08:43] <aleksanteri> 0
[08:43] <un4get> lol, ok
[08:43] <aleksanteri> set it to 100
[08:43] <gnomefreak> aleksanteri: move it to say 80

[08:43] <ant30> hi all

[08:44] <aleksanteri> how i take that [Off]  out
[08:44] <gnomefreak> aleksanteri: the up arrow
[08:44] <starshine> I *really* want to be able to work with my ultrasparc at console in an emergency, having to ssh in is a serious weakness
[08:44] <scott> hi
[08:44] <ant30> Does somebody know how to create a new action for gnome direct access keys ?
[08:44] <akos> What can I use to have /etc/fstab rebuilt automatically? gparted doesnt have the feature, does it?
[08:44] <aleksanteri> it doesn't take the [Off]  away
[08:45] <d1gita1>  i am failing to resize the windows partition on my laptop... is there a way to correct this without wiping the whole thing
[08:45] <starshine> esp as one of the keys that refuses to work is 'r' so I cannot type 'root' in answer to 'Login:'

[08:45] <ninix> hi, anyone know the package for allow k3b to burn mp3 audio cd ?
[08:45] <un4get> conorkirkpatrick: should i wait for somethin... ?
[08:45] <serenity> rehsifttam: my 8800gts works great but I use drivers from nvidia website not ubuntu drivers
[08:45] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[08:45] <chaotic> hey when  installing kubuntu  as dual boot my linux drive is set to mount /media/hda1 do i leave it there or mount to /
[08:45] <gnomefreak> aleksanteri: makes me think you have something else like the card and drivers enabled
[08:45] <erUSUL> conorkirkpatrick: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ??
[08:45] <un4get> command not found
[08:46] <un4get> oh ok
[08:46] <gnomefreak> un4get: add enable to the end of that command
[08:46] <gnomefreak> erUSUL: dont use the '
[08:46] <serenity> rehsifttam:  if you do try make sure u uninstall ubuntu restricted drivers first
[08:46] <un4get> new x configuration file is written.....
[08:46] <aleksanteri> aye now i hit some key and the Off went away
[08:46] <starshine> oh yeah and it's ubuntu-server so I don't intend to have X11 present. it probably is anyway... but...
[08:46] <pushpop> what would be the comand I would use to uninstall vmware-server
[08:47] <un4get> when i add enable = invalid command, but without that sudo nvidia-xconfig said: "new x configuration file written to........."
[08:47] <akos> What can I use to have /etc/fstab rebuilt automatically? gparted doesnt have the feature, does it?
[08:47] <bobonthenet> Can anyone recommend a specific tutorial for creating scripts for running terminal applications?  I've never done this before and I'd really like to learn.
[08:47] <aleksanteri> well. it still works :D
[08:47] <erUSUL> gnomefreak: ?? i use it to quote the actual command why is it wrong?
[08:47] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose nvidia as the driver
[08:47] <aleksanteri> ta gnomefreak
[08:47] <gnomefreak> erUSUL: just incase he went to type the '
[08:48] <un4get> now it says: identify your video card
[08:48] <gnomefreak> erUSUL: wasnt for you spiecificly
[08:48] <serenity> starshine: i use server on my laptop its only 500mb no X unless you apt-get it.  you learn alot from command line
[08:48] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: "nvidia"
[08:48] <starshine> .o( is anyone in here enough of a console-keyboard techie to help me?
[08:48] <nocturne_> can someone running kubuntu tell me the themes that come with it
[08:48] <Batfinks> hello
[08:48] <Savenger> can i tell a program to use a different sampling rate for audio than default?
[08:48] <un4get> it says: "Generic video card" should i delete it and write nvidia ?
[08:48] <starshine> serenity: I already have it installed. ultrasparcs arent laptops. I need the sun4 kbd to work.
[08:48] <erUSUL> gnomefreak: fair enough ;)
[08:49] <cereal> starshine: what do you want to do?
[08:49] <conorkirkpatrick> gnomefreak: IDK, In fact, I am at a loss of what to do, can you help out un4get?
[08:49] <un4get> please... :)
[08:49] <surviver> hello can anyone help me farther? i just tested xterm, so i can change it in console but i cant change in tty1... anyone know how to do there?
[08:49] <gnomefreak> conorkirkpatrick: finish runnign through dpkg and ill be right back
[08:50] <conorkirkpatrick> gnomefreak: k
[08:50] <starshine> cereal: I'd like to see the correct letters types when I use the sun native (type4) keyboard on my ultrasparc. so far it's a lose. I tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup about a half dozen times so far experimenting.
[08:50] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: wait for gnomefreak's help :D
[08:50] <un4get> lol
[08:50] <un4get> so for now not to do anything?
[08:50] <conorkirkpatrick> un4get: He has this down more than mo
[08:50] <conorkirkpatrick> mE*
[08:50] <starshine> cereal: of course I ran this while ssh'd in, sudo'd to root, and running the command from a pc
[08:50] <cereal> starshine: oh, I've never needed to customize that...sorry I cant help there :(
[08:51] <starshine> as my ultra5 has no usb interface I have no means to force it onto a pc keyboard :(
[08:51] <starshine> and I would have hoped the sparc distro would default to one or the other sun native keyboard?
[08:51] <local> does the java package work on 64bit?
[08:52] <local> does the flash package work on 64bit?
[08:52] <Hellfish> anyone experienced the error 21 when loading GRUB ?
[08:52] <JayRoe> can someone tell me why 'echo "password" | sudo -S mycommand' doesn't work?

[08:53] <surviver> local, are u programmer?
[08:53] <local> so what does 64bit ubuntu buy me on a owrkstation?
[08:53] <starshine> if anyone knows how I can *undo* its attempted keyboard setting I'd gladly enjoy whatever is built into the kernel, since that's probably correct...
[08:53] <local> surviver, programer.. architect and PM
[08:53] <elmo40> local, java should work in any 'bit' system.
[08:53] <un4get> yes

[08:55] <Neil-> checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... no
[08:55] <Neil-> what packages do i need for this?
[08:55] <starshine> I'm even willing to steal parts frm plain ancient debian if I knew what would make the da* console work :(
[08:56] <gnomefreak> Neil-: are you building something that is in repos?
[08:56] <starshine> foudn website mention of console-setup-sun4-ekmap but it got me a udeb and no extra commands that I can spot
[08:56] <gnomefreak> Neil-: something like libsdl1.2-dev
[08:57] <serenity> Neil: try typing sdl-config it will tell you which package to install
[08:57] <gnomefreak> Neil-: depends what ubuntu what version of that package and what you are building
[08:57] <starshine> I probably need its enhanced keyboards values though :'(
[08:57] <Neil-> gnomefreak: Building zsnes.. Its ubuntu 7.04
[08:57] <Justi1> what is better to install with- tar.bz2 or tar.gz
[08:57] <un4get> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30031/
[08:57] <gnomefreak> Neil-: install the package i gave above it should be in feisty

[08:58] <surviver> can anyone help? i just tested xterm, so i can change colors in console but i cant change in tty1... anyone know how to do there?
[08:58] <starshine> I need my sparc operational so I'm reluctant to wipe it out, but I dunno what to do to make it safe if it ends up in its environment alone
[08:58] <gnomefreak> un4get: you see a line like 02:09.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]
[08:59] <un4get> in what i typed?
[08:59] <gnomefreak> un4get: yes
[08:59] <un4get> yes
[08:59] <un4get> i see ity
[08:59] <Bosambo> Did you get that mhz?
[08:59] <mhz`> yea, not what i was looking for
[08:59] <gnomefreak> un4get: what is the numberse at the start of that line
[08:59] <mhz`> that's having you set your login passwd to the wifi passwd
[08:59] <mhz`> and shit
[08:59] <gnomefreak> numbers*
[08:59] <gnomefreak> mhz`: watch your lanuage please
[08:59] <un4get> 01:00.0

[09:00] <d1gita1> I am trying to install fiesty on my laptop. I have 2 identical dell laptops, one of which i have already installed it successfully, so hardware compatibility is not an issue.  I reach the partitioning step during installation, and whether i use guided or manual partitioning, it says that it failed to resize my windows partition.  Is there a way to fix this without deleting the partition altogether?
[09:00] <un4get> ok..
[09:00] <gnomefreak> un4get: you see "PCI:1:0:0" in the device section
[09:00] <un4get> yes
[09:00] <zeelot> anyone?
[09:00] <jamyskis> can anyone lend a hand with my automount problem?
[09:00] <gnomefreak> elmo40: in ubuntu packages java 1.4blackdown is the only thing you can get for 64bit
[09:00] <zeelot> something like how it is in XP
[09:00] <gnomefreak> elmo40: and you get lots of issues
[09:00] <anixhkr> what's new?
[09:00] <starshine> if the only answer to keyboard on sparc is 'use a pc keyboard' I've no idea what I'll do..
[09:00] <skollie> d1gita1: have you done the defrag thing on the windows drive?
[09:00] <un4get> gnomefreak: yes i see it
[09:01] <sotec_prod> question: does anyone have a fully functional Logitech G5 under Ubuntu?
[09:01] <gnomefreak> elmo40: thats why we build nspluginwrapper for gutsy
[09:01] <surviver> gnomefreak, i found somewhere to fix flash for 64 bit...
[09:01] <gnomefreak> un4get: what are the numbers there?
[09:01] <starshine> I don't even know where to file a bug that anyone would actually fix :(
[09:01] <gnomefreak> surviver: gnash
[09:01] <un4get> PCI:1:0:0
[09:01] <gnomefreak> gnash 0.8.0
[09:01] <gnomefreak> un4get:
[09:01] <gnomefreak> un4get: ok good
[09:01] <d1gita1> skollie: no, i didnt even think of that. i will try that now.
[09:01] <gnomefreak> un4get: close geidt
[09:01] <un4get> OK
[09:01] <starshine> brb checking other room..
[09:02] <torsan> For some reason grub isnt installin when I install ubuntu

[09:02] <gnomefreak> un4get: what nvidia package did you install?
[09:02] <HEP85_> jamyskis: what's your problem?
[09:02] <scoobtits> anyone want to help me getting wine setup and working?

[09:02] <surviver> can anyone help? i just tested xterm, so i can change colors in console but i cant change in tty1... anyone know how to do there?
[09:02] <un4get> what conorkirkpatrick told me to ...
[09:02] <un4get> glx-nvidia-new something like that
[09:02] <gnomefreak> elmo40: big differnece on what is supported and what is not supported
[09:02] <Miranda32>  I disabled wireless encryption and enabled SSDI, there is a Unknown WLAN client showing up right now. What is it? Where is it from?
[09:02] <gnomefreak> un4get: ok 5200 good move
[09:02] <Hellfish> I hope someone can help I have a little problem with ubuntu. When I have installed it I get a error 21 when loading ubuntu. I think it has something to do with Im using RAID
[09:02] <skollie> d1gita1: if that does not fix your problem, you need to get the System Rescue CD and use qtparted
[09:02] <HEP85_> scoobtits: ok
[09:02] <gnomefreak> un4get: now reboot :)
[09:02] <un4get> it should work?
[09:02] <gnomefreak> un4get: if you see nvidia splash screen you are good
[09:03] <sotec_prod> logitech doesn't have an irc channel...
[09:03] <elmo40> what goes wrong with java.com version? i dont see why the 'official' product would be problematic. has not been for me.

[09:03] <gnomefreak> elmo40: any bugs you have with firefox or any other browser any java package and eclipse or anything else that is java related will now be sent to javva
[09:04] <elmo40> gnomefreak, problems with java, now you are pulling my leg :P
[09:04] <scoobtits> HEP85_, you there>
[09:04] <gnomefreak> elmo40: if that is something new users should have to deal with than fine but please dont suggest grabbing no official packages
[09:04] <HEP85_> jamyskis: very strange. I don't think I can help you
[09:04] <torsan> Grub isnt installing when I install ubuntu :(
[09:04] <gnomefreak> torsan: wait til its done
[09:04] <torsan> find /boot/grub/stage1 returns nothing
[09:04] <HEP85_> scoobtits: have you already installed the wine package?
[09:04] <starshine> pressing q on sun4 keyboard produces [18~
[09:05] <torsan> I've done this 3 times
[09:05] <scoobtits> i installed wine via add/remove programs
[09:05] <scoobtits> and that is all
[09:05] <PurpZeY> torsan: Are you installing over vista?
[09:05] <gnomefreak> !grub | torsan
[09:05] <torsan> no
[09:05] <ubotu> torsan: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[09:05] <milllmannn> what is ISPConfig
[09:05] <milllmannn> ?
[09:05] <HEP85_> scoobtits: can you run winecfg?
[09:05] <torsan> I've read through all of that
[09:05] <torsan> none of it works
[09:05] <Hawdy> !grub
[09:05] <r0b-> !tor
[09:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tor - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:05] <elmo40> ok, so java.com is not an official package? I guess not official from ubuntu repo... but THE official java package.     I understand, though, ubuntu wants to keep things 'tight' and control versions... no biggie to me. I keep my 'thinking outside of the box' ideas to myself. Sorry for the confusion. :/
[09:05] <scoobtits> you see i dont even know what that is......should i?
[09:05] <starshine> it was so easy during install :'(
[09:05] <elmo40> ubotu, java
[09:05] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[09:06] <scoobtits> HEP85_, i need to configure wine with winecfg?
[09:06] <torsan> for some reason grub is just not worrying about installing
[09:06] <HEP85_> scoobtits: it's the configuration program for wine. just type it in the terminal
[09:06] <PurpZeY> torsan: Are you installing over vista?
[09:06] <torsan> no
[09:06] <scoobtits> HEP85_, ok
[09:06] <elmo40> wow, looks like a sun-java version to me.
[09:06] <marl> does anyone know if there is a way to map data on one server on another, but using usernames rather than user id? eg. server 1 user marl has an id of 505 and on server 2 user marl has an id of 565, im trying to find a way of allowing data acceess but that will work by user name rather than UID, like NFS (but so far i have hit problems with UIDs on NFS)
[09:06] <torsan> im on a separate hard drive, the other 1 has xp
[09:06] <surviver> can anyone help? i just tested xterm, so i can change colors in console but i cant change in tty1... anyone know how to do there?
[09:06] <gnomefreak> torsan: what install command are you runing and is this from a chroot or from another os?
[09:06] <rolfen> jamyskis: do you see the DVD in the left pane of the file manager when you insert a dvd?
[09:06] <scoobtits> k
[09:07] <Hawdy> I have a simulare problem as torsan

[09:07] <Newbie_Dude> why did my X-Chat system tray icon suddenly appear floating in the upper-left corner of my screen, in a little box?
[09:07] <HEP85_> scoobtits: open the "Drives" tab and add a new drive
[09:07] <djm62> Billy: SoundConverter will do it, I think
[09:07] <surviver> gnomefreak, ok :)
[09:08] <HOT> marl: cant you use NIS to unify UID's?
[09:08] <gnomefreak> surviver: tty is system terminal not meant to be used by average user
[09:08] <scoobtits> HEP85_, k
[09:08] <PurpZeY> Newbie_Dude: You running beryl?
[09:08] <djm62> Billy: use Synaptic search to find it
[09:08] <torsan> I have 1 harddrive with xp, and this hard drive with ubuntu
[09:08] <skollie> billybob:  [oops]  google for a converter. I found one a while back but cannot remember where

[09:08] <Hawdy> Strange
[09:08] <Savenger> can i tell a program to use a different sampling rate for audio than default?
[09:08] <gnomefreak> torsan: it makes me think you havent tried it since you still havent given me a command that you ran
[09:08] <HEP85_> scoobtits: select the newly created drive (should be D:) and at path type "/media/cdrom/" without the quotes. then click on "Show advanced" and set type to "CDROM"
[09:08] <r0b-> how do i make it so anyone can use a file?
[09:08] <torsan> what command am I supposed to run? :S
[09:09] <marl> hot, old server isnt using NIS and cant rsk changing the configs on it to much, trrying to bring a new server on line, the old one is almost dead :(
[09:09] <Hawdy> Torsan, maybe it has something to do with the live disc
[09:09] <Billy> djm62:  thank you for telling me about synaptic, now how do i get to that?
[09:09] <gnomefreak> torsan: read the grub docs on your error please
[09:09] <starshine> in current conditions if userland fails for some reason there is no ability to come into my sparc via console.  any sparc keyboard experts pls help
[09:09] <scoobtits> it only has c and z
[09:09] <torsan> ive read plenty of docs
[09:09] <scoobtits> HEP85_, it only has c and z
[09:09] <Hawdy> cos when I install mine with one harddisk (xp and another with ubuntu) it install GRUB
[09:09] <gnomefreak> torsan: or on how to reover after windows install
[09:09] <elmo40> r0b-, chmod it, so everyone can see it
[09:09] <torsan> the docs are on restoring grub. i dont have grub
[09:09] <djm62> Billy: oh, sorry, System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager so that you can install SoundConverter
[09:09] <starshine> weirdly enough oot works, but r doesn't..
[09:09] <HOT> marl: tell me one more time exactly what you want to acheive
[09:09] <HEP85_> scoobtits: therefore you have to click on "Add..." first
[09:09] <jamyskis> rolfen: strange...it's there, and it automounts if i select it from nautilus
[09:09] <btsdev> Hey guys i am trying to use a higher resolution framebuffer before I type 'startx' to go into GNOME... so in /boot/grub/menu.list i changed the vga parameter to be 0x31a for 1280x1024 but now my framebuffer is misaligned with my monitor edges.. anyone know how i can have both my framebuffer and X server aligned correctly with my monitor?
[09:10] <scoobtits> HEP85_, oh k lmao
[09:10] <Newbie_Dude> PurpZeY: nope. sometimes out of nowhere one of the items in my system tray appears somewhere else in a little box that i can minimize, maximize, and close
[09:10] <Hawdy> Have someone experienced error 21 ?
[09:10] <Billy> djm62:  awsome thank you so much... moving right now.
[09:10] <gnomefreak> torsan: do you not have grub or is it not where it should be. apt-cache policy grub
[09:10] <HEP85_> scoobtits: you can then leave the configuration program with "OK" button
[09:10] <torsan> its not here
[09:10] <gnomefreak> torsan: what does that say on the installed line
[09:10] <anixhkr> torsan: you are wanting to install grub, but you don't know if it's on the cd?
[09:10] <torsan> that's my problem
[09:10] <djm62> can anyone tell me how I can put my computer to sleep, but get it to wake up at a specified time and make a loud noise?
[09:10] <r0b-> what permissions do i use?
[09:10] <rolfen> jamyskis: if it is there what exactly is your problem?
[09:10] <un4get> gnomefreak: thats gonna be a NO....
[09:10] <elmo40> r0b-, you can make it chmod 666 for everyone to read/write to it. 777 makes all variable, including execute
[09:10] <djm62> the computer sleeps fine, all the ACPI stuff is good
[09:10] <britt> oy
[09:10] <HOT> djm62: probly best using the bios for that
[09:10] <PurpZeY> Newbie_Dude: Well, I've had that happen, I always thought it was b/c of beryl, but what I do is, force-quit that box...then remove my panel notification app and re-add it...and restart nm-applet
[09:10] <HEP85_> scoobtits: your windows drive is located at ~/.wine/drive_c
[09:10] <britt> any x60'ers in here?
[09:10] <un4get> im using the LIveCD now, i saw a blackscreen on my sys
[09:10] <gnomefreak> torsan: than you need to get a new ISO and start all iver or check the md5sum of the iso you already downloaded if you still have that partition
[09:11] <HEP85_> scoobtits: do you have a windows application to test?
[09:11] <jamyskis> rolfen: when i put the cd or dvd in the icon doesn't show up straight away on the desktop as an icon
[09:11] <jamyskis> rolfen: and cd'ing to the /media/cdrom shows it hasn't been automounted
[09:11] <gnomefreak> torsan: iso or burn was bad most likely md5sum was off
[09:11] <scoobtits> HEp85_, yea i got steam but i need to install a font first
[09:11] <torsan> well it shows it's installed, but when i enter grub and find /boot/grub/stage1 or root (hd0) any of that says grub isnt there
[09:11] <gnomefreak> torsan: than its there
[09:11] <anixhkr> torsan: yep, when you boot the cd, select check cd for errors, and see if you have any errors. if so, re-download and burn the iso image
[09:11] <r0b-> i tried it wont work
[09:11] <Hawdy> torsan: try using alternate desktop CD (text based) it works for me
[09:11] <rolfen> jamyskis: did you configure your system to show removable devices on the desktop?
[09:11] <elmo40> you need to be root to do that, if you dont own the file
[09:11] <un4get> gnomefreak: Didnt work, i saw a black screen and now im using the LiveCD....
[09:11] <HEP85_> scoobtits: yes you need tahoma.ttf and put it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[09:12] <torsan> ive used this cd before is the thing... should work
[09:12] <gnomefreak> torsan: notice i said is it not there ir is it where you cant find it
[09:12] <jamyskis> rolfen: it appears when i double click in nautilus on the desktop
[09:12] <djm62> HOT: I thought that suspend-to-ram (?) was inherently using the BIOS - what do you mean, specifically?
[09:12] <jamyskis> rolfen: but wont mount automatically
[09:12] <torsan> well  i said find /boot/grub/stage1 doesnt show anything
[09:12] <zorglu_> q. there is a kindof script which is launched each time i run a command, the stuff supposed to detect which package i need to install to launch a given command, that i dont have available, what is the name of this feature/script ? sorry for the poor explaination
[09:12] <torsan> so linux cant find it either
[09:12] <rolfen> jamyskis: ah ok
[09:12] <scoobtits> HEP_85, where is ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[09:12] <scoobtits> where is ~
[09:12] <JayRoe> can someone tell how I can create a script that has root privileges?
[09:12] <HOT> djm62: sorry, i thought you just wanted your laptop to wake up at a set time each day, your bios will have an option to do that...probly
[09:12] <scoobtits> more importantly
[09:12] <anixhkr> torsan: so ...you are in a live cd right now, correct? and you are looking on your drive for grub to configure it?
[09:12] <jamyskis> rolfen: ill give it a try with gnome-volume-manager reinstall
[09:12] <gnomefreak> torsan: and grub is installed just not correctly. follow the guide for restaoring grub after windows install use the livecd to do this
[09:12] <ShackJack> JayRoe: Just run script as root :)
[09:12] <PurpZeY> scoobtits: That should be your home dir
[09:13] <Savenger> can i tell a program to use a different sampling rate for audio than default?
[09:13] <torsan> ok let me explain
[09:13] <WatchMan> what "kernel" is the last ubuntu using ?
[09:13] <un4get> gnomefreak: Didnt work, i saw a black screen and now im using the LiveCD....
[09:13] <djm62> HOT: I'm more wanting to use it as an intelligent alarm clock - wake me up and tell me what I'm meant to be doing today...
[09:13] <PurpZeY> scoobtits: In order to see /.wine/ you'll have to go to view-->show hidden files
[09:13] <gnomefreak> un4get: what errors did it giv
[09:13] <HEP85_> it is hidden. you have to setup the file manager to show hidden folders
[09:13] <un4get> nothing just a black screen
[09:13] <Justi1> can I view a folder of pictures as thumbnails?
[09:13] <torsan> i bought a new hard drive. my main hard drive has xp on it, and has had it on there for like a year. now I installed ubuntu on the 2nd hard drive and it wont install grub so I can only boot up in xp becaues there's no boot loader
[09:13] <JayRoe> shackjack, I want it to mount shares whenever mythtv is started and I'd like it to do it without forcing me to manually type the password everytime
[09:13] <eifzon> how do i change name on a file from like, .irssi to irssi
[09:13] <scoobtits> k
[09:13] <torsan> there is not "recover grub/restore grub" crap because it's not or was never existant
[09:14] <HEP85_> scoobtits: then you will see the ".wine" folder in your personal directory
[09:14] <gnomefreak> un4get: ok go back and boot to that black screen again and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set driver to nv than save and restart X
[09:14] <anixhkr> torsan: so you chose not to install grub during the install?
[09:14] <gnomefreak> un4get: that will get you a GUI
[09:14] <torsan> there was nothing that asked me to install grub
[09:14] <PurpZeY> torsan: Sounds like you are not configuring the setup right somehow
[09:14] <HOT> djm62: if your laptop is off, you can have it wake up using either BIOS timer or magic packets on your NIC,then maybe auto logon? > play noise.wav and start your manager program...just one way of doing it
[09:14] <skollie> eifzon: mv file1 file2
[09:14] <ShackJack> JayRoe: You have to be root to mount shares? I wasn't aware...
[09:14] <torsan> I thought it was supposed to ask me as well
[09:14] <marl> hot, am trying to configure a new server to take over from the old samba server, cant do the entire shift in one lot, as am changing a LOT of settings on the new samba server, so wanted to allow one mahcine to use ata from the other for network users, but without having to try and configure UID&GID's to match each server, if that makes any sence!
[09:14] <un4get> i cant write nothing and i cant see nothing... so how am i gonna write what you want me to write?
[09:14] <torsan> but I havent seen a screen, and I did the install 3 times
[09:14] <Justi1> how do I view pictures in a network folder as thumbnails?
[09:14] <scoobtits> HEP85_, okay thnx i found it
[09:14] <un4get> i need to use recovery mode?
[09:15] <scoobtits> HEP85_, i am installing the font
[09:15] <WatchMan> what kernel is ubuntu using? what version so to speak (last version)
[09:15] <gnomefreak> torsan: if feisty livecd it asks you but its very easy to miss
[09:15] <anixhkr> torsan: if you walk through the install, the last screen that shows the summary before doing anything, it will have where you can select grub and configure it from there.
[09:15] <gnomefreak> WatchMan: 2.6.20 ion feisty
[09:15] <gnomefreak> s/ion/in
[09:15] <torsan> I'll try once more
[09:15] <PurpZeY> !dualboot | torsan
[09:15] <ubotu> torsan: Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[09:15] <un4get> Gnomefreak: i cant write nothing and i cant see nothing... so how am i gonna write what you want me to write? should i use recovery mode?
[09:15] <scoobtits> HEP85_, okay i got the font installed now how do i launch steam?
[09:16] <gnomefreak> un4get: the back screen doesnt have a terminal prompt?
[09:16] <un4get> nop
[09:16] <PurpZeY> scoobtits: Should be just wine program
[09:16] <gnomefreak> un4get: it will say tty or somehting like that
[09:16] <un4get> just black like the mode isn right
[09:16] <un4get> nop nothing just black
[09:16] <gnomefreak> un4get: hmmmm
[09:16] <eifzon> skollie: if i move a file from like my home folder, and want it up on my ftp, how do i do? from the terminal
[09:16] <anixhkr> WatchMan: anixhkr@anixhkr:~$ uname -r
[09:16] <anixhkr> 2.6.20-16-generic
[09:16] <djm62> also, is anyone using org-mode on emacs-snapshot on Feisty?  I'm trying to make repeated appointments work, and I enter it exactly as in the manual, but the Agenda shows one week only.  if anyone can confirm or deny this it would be helpful
[09:16] <scoobtits> PurpZey, but how do i launch steam via wine?
[09:16] <gnomefreak> un4get: thats not good. do you have beryl/compiz installed?
[09:17] <HEP85_> scoobtits: doubleclick on Steam.exe. if it asks for a command to open enter wine
[09:17] <hume> someone can recommend me a wifi pc-card that works well with ubuntu?
[09:17] <un4get> hmmm huh?!?!?!
[09:17] <elmo40> r0b-, have it working?
[09:17] <ShackJack> WatchMan: I don't know about Feisty, but you can look at your system monitor to see or type  cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease in a terminal ... I think it's 2.6.16.x
[09:17] <PurpZeY> scoobtits: run the command wine <insertnameofprogram> without <>s
[09:17] <gnomefreak> un4get: im gonna guess no
[09:17] <un4get> lol
[09:17] <rolfen> jamyskis: also try opening gconf-editor and navicating to desktop->gnome->volume_manager and editing the options
[09:17] <skollie> eifzon: does your ftp server allow local users to log in?
[09:17] <surviver> gnomefreak, u seems some smart i got question, i saw somewhere a guy entering a code after he pressed enter it gone to check evry file or it is complete and stuff, do u know how? or what i mean :D
[09:17] <un4get> how do i undo or something?
[09:17] <HOT> marl: sadly the best "fix" i know for that situation is NIS, make the new box a nis slave , copy over the auto.x files and autofs the clients, are you sure thats not an option?
[09:17] <gnomefreak> un4get: you need to be on that full screen terminal
[09:17] <scoobtits> purpZey, just type the command how it should be
[09:17] <eifzon> skollie: no, just me
[09:17] <un4get> gnomefreak: i cant, maybe in recovery mode
[09:17] <gnomefreak> un4get: you can try to chroot in from livecd but i would rather not go that way with it
[09:18] <gnomefreak> un4get: try using reovery kernel
[09:18] <PurpZeY> scoobtits: Let's say I want to run the program purpzey123 I run "wine purpzey123"
[09:18] <gnomefreak> or whatever its called
[09:18] <skollie> eifzon: then it should be available to you when you log into your ftp server i.e. in your home dir
[09:18] <un4get> and what should i do there?
[09:18] <eifzon> skollie: but cant i like move the file to /var/ftp ?
[09:18] <skollie> eifzon: why?
[09:19] <un4get> gnomefreak: and what should i do there? do i need to undo or somethin like that?
[09:19] <scoobtits> purpZey,  L"Z:\\home\\scotty\\Steaminstall.msi": Bad EXE format for
[09:19] <marl> hot, will have a good read up on nis again, not used it for quite a while, so will re-read the docs and see if i can crowbar nis into the old system :)
[09:19] <jamyskis> rolfen: ok ill give it a go thanks
[09:19] <marl> thanks hot :)
[09:19] <gnomefreak> un4get: remove cd and boot that kernel if you get a full screen black with a command prompt log in at it and than sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set driver to nv or vesa whatever one you want i would go with vesa
[09:20] <HEP85_> scoobtits: "wine /home/scotty/Steaminstall.msi"
[09:20] <PurpZeY> scoobtits: Just go to applications--> Wine File --> Then click on c:\ and select the program you want to run
[09:20] <un4get> k
[09:20] <djm62> HEP85_: start with this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[09:20] <un4get> brb
[09:20] <HOT> marl: i am trying to save you heartache on this, setting NIS up wont be to hard, and it will happily unify your UID's and GUID's for you, you seem to have NFS already in place so half the work is done
[09:20] <jermstone> Hello everyone.
[09:20] <Hawdy> Can anyone help me with error 21 when loading GRUB ?
[09:20] <djm62> HEP85_: my personal experience with Linksys cards has been good, YMMV
[09:21] <local> running autofs ... it fails to mount or even hit the nfs fileserver....
[09:21] <scoobtits> HEP85_, thnx
[09:21] <local> how can i configure it to hit hte filesever?
[09:21] <scoobtits> PurPzey, thnx
[09:21] <anixhkr> yeah, seems the linksys cards are fine, now their routers .....
[09:21] <marl> ok, just grabbed the nis howto will sit and read that and jump back in if i hit problems and see if someone can point me i the rite direction
[09:21] <skollie> hawdy: errot 21 means grub cannot access the drive from which you are trying to boot
[09:21] <HOT> marl: sure
[09:21] <marl> thanks again
[09:22] <HOT> local: little more info? have you checked all the services are running?
[09:22] <djm62> HEP85__: did you get that link? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[09:22] <ShackJack> Hawdy: Could be something simple as a loose wire ;)
[09:22] <local> yes
[09:22] <HEP85__> djm62: can it be that you are confusing me?
[09:22] <akos> nautilus is not connecting to my other machine through SSH... what could I do?
[09:22] <Hawdy> skollie: Yes I know, but how do I fix it ?
[09:22] <HOT> local: you exported your auto.foo's ?
