[08:25] <Flannel> GITS1: oh.  how interesting.  Ok, we can probably use dpkg to solve this.  dpkg -i [package 1] [package 2]
[08:26] <guido> I'm trying to set a headless winxp with virtualbox and have seamless integration following the steps listed here http://ace2016.net/tutorials/linux/run-windows-xp-applications-seamlessly-on-your-linux-desktop  and here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=433359 but for some reason I can only get it to work once, upon reboot I couldn't connect remotely.

[08:28] <JoL> gordonjcp: need libxml2 ... but I've installed libxml2 just before
[08:28] <sja> please say to me, where im can get driver amd74xx.ko ?
[08:28] <gordonjcp> JoL: maybe you need libxml2-dev
[08:28] <pretender> advice needed i want to setup a remote control connection to my parents ubuntu box so i can help them ou if needed.  I know you can use VNC and also FreeNX.  What do you recommend.  Also can you point me towards any good documentation to set this up
[08:28] <gaozhi> Cry～～   	How enter ubuntu-cn
[08:29] <gordonjcp> JoL: if you run into problems like that, it's worth checking that you've got the -dev packages
[08:29] <LinuxIST> is there a .vsd converter or viewer?
[08:29] <JoL> gordonjcp: where can I get this?
[08:29] <gordonjcp> pretender: use something like dyndns so you can get their IP address
[08:29] <gordonjcp> JoL: same place you got libxml2 from
[08:29] <wbmj> gaozhi: ./join #ubuntu-cn
[08:30] <gordonjcp> LinuxIST: what's .vsd?
[08:30] <deltaslaya> Hey, I have OpenOffice.org Calc. When I open it it is stuck in full screen. I can't see either of the Ubuntu panels, or the OOo Calc title bar. I don't know what happened, I may have accidentally hit a shortcut or something. Thanks in advance.\
[08:30] <JoL> gordonjcp: Ok... I'll try
[08:30] <gordonjcp> JoL: I'm guessing you just installed from the repos
[08:30] <GITS1> Flannel: you are the man!
[08:30] <pretender> ok dyndns then what
[08:30] <LinuxIST> Visio file
[08:31] <arrrghhh> so i installed windows on this ubuntu machine.  grub is still intact, how do i add windows to the grub menu?  is there anyway to reinitiate the initial grub setup?  it seems to work quite well.
[08:31] <wbmj> deltaslaya: hold down the alt key then drag the window down to see the menu
[08:32] <deltaslaya> wbmj: Hey, I cannot drag it like that.
[08:33] <wbmj> deltaslaya: ctl+alt+J
[08:33] <pretender> gordonjc:  ok dyndns then wha
[08:33] <deltaslaya> wbmj: Yea I tried that but it doesn't fix it. I don't think it's exactly full screen that it is stuck in.
[08:34] <JoL> gordonjcp: 	I downloaded from the website, compiled and make install...
[08:34] <deltaslaya> wbmj: And I assume you mean CTRL+SHIFT+J, because what you suggested does nothing.
[08:35] <wbmj> deltaslaya: ctl+shift+J
[08:35] <gordonjcp> JoL: ah, that wasn't a very good ise
[08:35] <gordonjcp> JoL: ah, that wasn't a very good idea
[08:35] <gordonjcp> JoL: you need to install from apt
[08:36] <deltaslaya> wbmj: Yes, all that does is remove all the top menus and function buttons so you just have the sheet. So it is not actually stuck in full screen, it's just that its covering the whole screen and has no title bar.
[08:36] <JoL> gordonjcp: how can I install from apt? (Sorry I'm not familiar with linux)
[08:37] <Gigadelic_IIDX> is there a app to .MD5 a whole folder?
[08:38] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: you mean for all the files in the folder? or folder as a whole?
[08:38] <deltaslaya> Any ideas?
[08:38] <Gigadelic_IIDX> yeah
[08:38] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: which one?
[08:38] <JoL> gordonjcp: ok.. apt-get install libxml2
[08:38] <Gigadelic_IIDX> seiryuu/music/J-pop/Rez Gamer's Guide to...
[08:38] <JoL> that should be ok
[08:39] <Loginanton> people, please help me. I want install compiz on my xubuntu 8.04, but can't do it :(
[08:39] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: not which folder, all the files in the folder? or the folder as a summation?
[08:39] <roachmmflhyr> can firefox corrupt bookmark backups be recovered?
[08:39] <Gigadelic_IIDX> yeah all the files in the folder
[08:40] <gordonjcp> JoL: and also the -dev package
[08:40] <wbmj> deltaslaya: I can't seem to recreate your problem......and  am at a loss as how to fix it
[08:40] <deltaslaya> wbmj: Should I take a screenshot?
[08:41] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: just use * it'll get expanded to [all the files]
[08:41] <Gigadelic_IIDX> huh
[08:42] <Gigadelic_IIDX> i dont get it Flannel

[08:46] <wbmj> deltaslaya: when you close OOo Calc  do you have panels?
[08:47] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: try doing it again, except this time use tab-completion on your folder naviating, it'll escape the stuff that need to be escaped
[08:47] <deltaslaya> wbmj: Yes, after I close it using ALT+F4, or File>Exit, it returns to normal.
[08:47] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: md5sum sei[tab]mus[tab]J-[tab]Rez[tab], etc
[08:47] <wbmj> deltaslaya: but it does the same thing when you open it?
[08:48] <deltaslaya> wmbj: Yes, but I can still use alt+tab to change between other windows. It just appears behind them with the top and bottom of it obscured by the top and bottom panels.
[08:49] <Gigadelic_IIDX> u mean tab key?
[08:49] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: yes

[08:50] <Gigadelic_IIDX> md5sum sei[tab]mus[tab]J-[tab]Rez[tab],
[08:51] <Flannel> Gigadelic_IIDX: No, I mean what that expands into.  Right before you hit enter, copy and paste it here.
[08:52] <wbmj> deltaslaya: okay .... here's an idea .... autohide the top panel then resize the OOo Calc window

[08:54] <nyoknyok> Flannel: thanks!!!!
[08:54] <wbmj> earthling: open apearance and shut off effects
[08:55] <Gigadelic_IIDX> yo Flannel how do i make the .md5?
[08:55] <nyoknyok> and anyone here uses, transmission torrent client, recently, it always crashes.. and my downloads starts again to zero bytes.
[08:55] <GITS1> what does "invalid mount option" mean when pluggin in a usb
[08:55] <cweagans> nyoknyok: try Azureus
[08:55] <cweagans> erm, I guess it's called Fuze now
[08:56] <earthling> wbmj : yeah i shut off appearence. but no change
[08:56] <cweagans> nyoknyok: I haven't really had any luck with Transmission
[08:56] <nyoknyok> cweagans: i cant open a port in azureus
[08:56] <ManualOverDozer8> forward ports at router
[08:56] <wbmj> earthling: when you removed compiz were the effects enabled
[08:57] <nyoknyok> cweagans: i have successful downloads in transmission.
[08:57] <cweagans> nyoknyok: well, you will have better luck if you can open a port on your router
[08:57] <cweagans> hmm
[08:57] <cweagans> weird
[08:57] <cweagans> wbmj, earthling:  not sure what you are trying to do, but this may help:    metacity --replace
[08:57] <nyoknyok> cweagans: im downloading in my work, so they can detect azureus, bat in transmission i can open ports
[08:58] <ManualOverDozer8> even port triggers will work, just they timeout and the port forward closes if not in use for so long
[08:58] <cweagans> nyoknyok: just find a way to remote to a home computer
[08:58] <cweagans> you will have MUCh  better luck that way
[08:58] <earthling> wbmj : no
[08:58] <nyoknyok> cweagans, any suggestions how can i remote to my pc from from?
[08:59] <ManualOverDozer8> another alternative at a work place is use lower port numbers, use the ones that your internet browsers use 1024-2000 or something in that range
[08:59] <cweagans> nyoknyok: can you open ports on your router @ home?
[08:59] <earthling> wbmj : i also installed flgrx driver.. may be that was the problem?
[08:59] <nyoknyok> ManualOverDozer8: i see.. all torrent ports are block in my work place
[08:59] <nyoknyok> cweagans: yup i can open ports in my home
[09:00] <cweagans> nyoknyok: and is your home compy a linux box?
[09:00] <ManualOverDozer8> nyoknyok:  do you have internet access ?
[09:00] <nyoknyok> yup i have internet access(DSL) and i have ubuntu in my home
[09:00] <cweagans> nyoknyok: try VNC then
[09:00] <kun-10> how can install .tgz
[09:00] <nyoknyok> but the problem is here in my work place, i cant open ports in azureus, but in transmission i can open torrent ports.
[09:00] <vierranet> need help more or less, i got an evolution under linux back up file and i need to import it into an evolution under windows windows format
[09:01] <nyoknyok> cweagans: i see, i think ill try VNC
[09:01] <nyoknyok> kun: try tar
[09:01] <ManualOverDozer8> maybe the protocol is blocked rather than just the ports
[09:01] <kun-10> what commaned?
[09:01] <cweagans> kun-10: where did you get the tgz?
[09:01] <nyoknyok> tar -xvzf *.tgz
[09:02] <kun-10> it is cedega
[09:02] <nyoknyok> ManualOverDozer: yup i think the protocol.
[09:02] <ManualOverDozer8> there is many ways to block access to those types of apps
[09:02] <cweagans> kun-10: do what nyoknyok said then
[09:02] <nyoknyok> in Windows environment, we cant download. but here in ubuntu i can, but only in transmission
[09:02] <kun-10> what?
[09:03] <cweagans> tar -xvzf file.tgz
[09:03] <ronder> хай пиплы
[09:03] <cweagans> ronder: wrong channel?
[09:03] <kun-10> how can install .tgz
[09:04] <ManualOverDozer8> kun-19 what do you need it for ?
[09:04] <cweagans> kun-10: I just told you...
[09:04] <nyoknyok> you should have to extract the files from .tgz
[09:04] <kun-10> ok how?
[09:04] <nyoknyok> tar -xvzf file.tgz
[09:04] <kun-10> ok
[09:04] <kun-10> i will try
[09:04] <nyoknyok> it will extract and create a folder
[09:05] <cweagans> Xo)
[09:05] <nyoknyok> did i said the right term "extract"? :)
[09:05] <ManualOverDozer8> i stick with DEB if at all possible, the tar method is way more extensive than it has to be
[09:05] <nyoknyok> why?
[09:06] <cweagans> nyoknyok: tar = no package/dependency management
[09:06] <ManualOverDozer8> with the way permissions are set on linux, for new people, its combersome, more than needed. make a DEB and get over with it
[09:06] <kun-10> then?
[09:07] <kun-10> what do aftter that?
[09:07] <nyoknyok> then go to the created folder
[09:07] <cweagans> kun-10: sudo apt-get install wine
[09:07] <cweagans> MUCH easier
[09:07] <nyoknyok> :)
[09:07] <ManualOverDozer8> good luck explaining thT ONE
[09:08] <kun-10> why wine?
[09:08] <cweagans> Cedega, i believe, is based on wine (if I remember right) -- wine will run most popular games
[09:08] <cweagans> best of all:  package management
[09:08] <ManualOverDozer8> !info wine
[09:09] <cweagans> oh wait....even better:  you don't have to go DL all the dependencies
[09:09] <ManualOverDozer8> it is right in SPM
[09:09] <kun-10> i won't install wine
[09:09] <cweagans> why?
[09:09] <kun-10> not wine
[09:09] <kun-10> it is cedega
[09:10] <cweagans> Cedega
[09:10] <cweagans> Commercial re-implementation of the Windows API for Linux with a focus on gaming. Similar to (and a derivative of) WINE.
[09:10] <Wallgod> Hi All
[09:10] <deltaslaya> wbmj: Sorry for the late reply, but even if hide the top panel I still can't see the title bar. The highest up I can see on the windows is the file bar.
[09:10] <cweagans> Cedega is derived from wine
[09:10] <Wallgod> Can anybody please tell me how to open a .bc! file
[09:10] <cweagans> except you have to pay for Cedega
[09:10] <Wallgod> Its a pdf.bc!
[09:10] <kun-10> ?
[09:11] <kun-10> what i do now?
[09:11] <kun-10> after extract
[09:11] <cweagans> kun-10: I have no idea
[09:11] <kun-10> it is .tgz
[09:11] <cweagans> it depends on what was in the tgz
[09:12] <kun-10> I extract what now
[09:12] <Wallgod> Can anyone pls tell me how to open a .pdf.bc! file
[09:12] <nyoknyok> what is the files inside in the created folder
[09:12] <cweagans> what was in the tgz?
[09:13] <ManualOverDozer8> files
[09:13] <kun-10> program
[09:13] <ManualOverDozer8> lol
[09:13] <ManualOverDozer8> even better

[09:13] <v3nd3tta> anyone know a fix for IFS drives in XP SP3, I'm dual-booting Hardy and XP SP3 and now Truecrypt mount causes Windows to bluescreen
[09:13] <cweagans> kun-10: what are the names of the files inside of your cedega.tgz?
[09:14] <ManualOverDozer8> decrypt it maybe
[09:14] <kun-10> cedega_6.0.5-1.i386..tgz
[09:14] <kun-10> cedega_6.0.5-1.i386.tgz
[09:14] <cweagans> when you did tar xvzf cedega_6.0.5-1.i386.tgz, what files were created?
[09:15] <kun-10> bin    share     winex      update.reg
[09:15] <cweagans> where did you get that tgz?
[09:16] <kun-10> from cd

[09:21] <Tizz> Hi every body. Does anybody know when KDE 4.1 will be available on Ubuntu repositories ?
[09:21] <cweagans> Tizz: my guess:  whenever someone makes a package
[09:21] <Tizz> Ah
[09:21] <Tizz> How many does it take ?
[09:21] <cweagans> Tizz: well....a lot
[09:22] <Tizz> and.... is there another way to get kde 4.1 ?
[09:22] <ManualOverDozer8> !kde
[09:22] <cweagans> Tizz: compile it from source
[09:22] <cweagans> !kde4
[09:22] <kun-10> ok thanks
[09:23] <cweagans> kun-10: np.
[09:23] <kun-10> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required
[09:23] <Tizz> cweagans > its KDE 4.0
[09:23] <Tizz> :p
[09:23] <kun-10> it is install or no?
[09:23] <Tizz> And I dont know how to compile
[09:23] <cweagans> kun-10: yes
[09:23] <Tizz> and I dont want to know :p
[09:23] <kun-10> ok ty
[09:23] <cweagans> Tizz: it's useful, though
[09:23] <kun-10> nice to meet you
[09:23] <Tizz> yeah I know
[09:23] <cweagans> for instances like this =D
[09:24] <Tizz> im a linux beginner you know
[09:24] <cweagans> i didn't know, actually =D
[09:25] <cweagans> Tizz: gratz on moving to Linux. Good move =P
[09:25] <ManualOverDozer8> cweagans do you know if there is a way to configure the standard CTRL+c / CTRL+v keyboard shorts ?
[09:25] <ManualOverDozer8> i really dont like it
[09:26] <Tizz> cweagans thanks... I deleted my windows partition a few weeks ago :)
[09:26] <cweagans> ManualOverDozer8: erm...they should work out of the box
[09:26] <cweagans> unless you have some exotic keyboard
[09:26] <ManualOverDozer8> some cheapo keyboard but i dont see that it works for any apps
[09:26] <ManualOverDozer8> ti left the
[09:27] <ManualOverDozer8> well then maybe, i dont know
[09:27] <ZStar> How do I check my network connection?  I am trying to update from 6.10 to 7.04 so I can update yet again :|
[09:27] <ManualOverDozer8> let me check terminal
[09:27] <ZStar> It isn't getting the packages it needs to.
[09:27] <cweagans> ManualOverDozer8: btw, if you highlight something in linux, it's automatically copied....you can paste it by using the middle mouse button
[09:27] <cweagans> =D
[09:28] <ManualOverDozer8> ok thats it, it doesnt work in terminal, and to highlight SHIFT+ARROW doesnt work either
[09:28] <ManualOverDozer8> is there a way to allow terminal to use them ?
[09:28] <cweagans> ZStar, it will probably be quicker to download the 8.04 Image, burn it to disk, and install from there
[09:28] <ZStar> I did that and I got thousands of erorr messages.
[09:28] <cweagans> ManualOverDozer8: it's probably a driver issue
[09:28] <ZStar> I ordered a CD already.
[09:28] <ManualOverDozer8> yeah, maybe i will see about changing it
[09:28] <kun-10> linux have program same Online TV Player??
[09:29] <cweagans> kun-10: please speak in complete sentences, if you could.....and Online TV Player kind of sounds like a virus to me =D

[09:30] <Er0x> any1 had this error? http://pastebin.com/m24991b8
[09:30] <cweagans> kun-10: is wine installed?
[09:30] <kun-10> yep
[09:31] <kun-10> Is there a programme in Linux?
[09:31] <kun-10> Is there a programme in Linux to show tv?
[09:31] <cweagans> kun-10: put in your 'Online TV Player' CD and install it in wine
[09:32] <kun-10> Is there a programme of lookalike?
[09:32] <cweagans> kun-10: probably not
[09:32] <cweagans> kun-10: what is your native language?
[09:32] <cweagans> kun-10: or is it english?
[09:32] <ManualOverDozer8> cweagans found the option to keyboard shorts in Terminal
[09:33] <kun-10> i am arabia
[09:33] <Mentat> hey guys quick question
[09:33] <Mentat> i have installed ubuntu using the WEBUI
[09:33] <Mentat> is there a quick command that i can use to access my windows files
[09:34] <cweagans> kun-10: I would recommend the ubuntu channel that is in your native language
[09:34] <viqas_> Mentat: should be accessible in the gui
[09:34] <kun-10> Support not good
[09:34] <viqas_> Mentat: the window manager may have mounted the partition for you automagically
[09:35] <Mentat> i dont see it
[09:35] <stefanx> hello all
[09:35] <Mentat> what would it be called?
[09:35] <cweagans> kun-10: well, I am having issues helping you, too. sorry.
[09:35] <zetheroo> a friend of mine has had her system board on her laptop giving her problems so she needs to backup her data right away... she has booted up with the LiveCD and plugged a USB hard drive in and started to copy files from her Home directory ... but she is getting errors saying that she lacks permissions on some of the files .... how can she get permission?
[09:35] <kun-10> ok
[09:35] <maxagaz> is there a good video podcast application on ubuntu ?
[09:36] <cweagans> zetheroo: sudo nautilus
[09:36] <deltaslaya> Does anyone know why when I open OOo Calc I can't see the title bar of Calc, nor the two Ubuntu panels? Thanks.
[09:36] <cweagans> zetheroo: then just try copying them again
[09:36] <zetheroo> cweagans: ok thanks
[09:36] <ManualOverDozer8> cweagans do you know of a way to access folders with names (ie: Program Files) with a space in the name, from terminal ? %??
[09:36] <viqas> Program\ Files
[09:36] <deltaslaya> ... and it's not in the 'full screen' setting, as such.
[09:36] <cweagans> cd Program\ Files
[09:37] <zetheroo> cweagans: will that work from the LiveCD?
[09:37] <kun-10> How to Make wine as best ?
[09:37] <viqas> zetheroo: what format is the external in?
[09:37] <cweagans> zetheroo: it should
[09:37] <cweagans> as long as the USB drive isn't NTFS
[09:37] <Mentat> if Ubuntu did automount my windows volume whats the best way to
[09:37] <zetheroo> viqas: probably NTFS
[09:37] <viqas> zetheroo: are you moving the file or copy
[09:37] <viqas> zetheroo: NTFS is read only
[09:37] <viqas> cant write to ntfs by default
[09:38] <unop> ManualOverDozer8, also you could quote it this way. "Program Files" or 'Program Files'
[09:38] <zetheroo> viqas: well some of the files copy ... so its not the hard drive that's at fault
[09:39] <ManualOverDozer8> unop that seems a little more reasonable, thank you
[09:39] <viqas> zetheroo: are you moving or copying the files
[09:40] <Mentat> guys need some help: im trying to access my windows files after using the ubuntu webui install. it did automount then anywhere i can find. is there a command i can run?
[09:40] <Mentat> it didnt automount
[09:41] <zetheroo> viqas: she is copying
[09:42] <wwbwwb> what didnt be automounted?
[09:42] <apo> How can I access my Windows 2003 server's shared files from my ubuntu desktop?
[09:43] <cweagans> apo: samba, FTP, SSH.....how much work do you want to go through?
[09:43] <cweagans> =D
[09:43] <apo> I am accessing other WinXP computers normally.
[09:43] <hischild> apo, are you talking about AD?
[09:43] <ManualOverDozer8> will \\computername work in mozzilla ?
[09:43] <axel_s> hi all, is there a way to become root when sudo is broken?
[09:43] <cweagans> ManualOverDozer8: no
[09:43] <cweagans> axel_s: su
[09:44] <hischild> axel_s, reboot into rescue/single user mode.
[09:44] <cweagans> axel_s: then enter your root password
[09:44] <hischild> cweagans, ubuntu doesn't have a root password.
[09:44] <axel_s> cweagans, what is the root passwd?
[09:44] <hischild> axel_s, there is none unless you've set one
[09:44] <ManualOverDozer8> why do i get "su: Authentication failure" when i use su instead of sudo ?
[09:44] <axel_s> ManualOverDozer8, same with me
[09:44] <Rageon> hey guys im using compiz fusion and when i use my Applications / Places / System bar sometimes a blank white rectangle appears which only dissappears from me clicking on it a few times which is rather annoying, any ideas how id fix this guys?
[09:44] <osfameron> ManualOverDozer8: "sudo su" ?
[09:45] <axel_s> even though I haven't set a root pw
[09:45] <itai-michaelson> which command will tell me the version of a package in the repository?
[09:45] <hischild> ManualOverDozer8, su is going to root user, which requires the root password. sudo executes the command after that as root using your own password. axel_s
[09:45] <cweagans> su requires you to enter the root user's password (not your password)
[09:45] <Rageon> !compizfusion
[09:46] <axel_s> hischild, so in case I've set a root pwd and don't remember I'm screwed
[09:46] <ManualOverDozer8> i tried sudo su and now su works without pass, i still dont get it
[09:46] <cweagans> Rageon: run metacity --replace    =D
[09:46] <hischild> axel_s, no. YOu can reboot into single user mode which will get you root automatically. Then you can run passwd to reset it.
[09:46] <Navy> Hey there
[09:46] <Rageon> whut is metacity
[09:46] <SitUbuntuSit> !compiz | Rageon
[09:46] <ManualOverDozer8> but then do i even need su instead of sudo ?
[09:46] <Navy> Where are UBS-printer pointet at in /dev ?
[09:46] <axel_s> hischild, thanks, I'lll try
[09:46] <cweagans> Rageon: metacity is the default window manager
[09:46] <Rageon> oh lol/
[09:46] <cweagans> =D
[09:47] <osfameron> ManualOverDozer8: not really.  But doing "sudo su" takes you into a root terminal, so it saves you having to prefix everything important with "sudo"
[09:47] <apo> i have workgroup LAN with a Win 2003 Server, WinXPp and an ubuntu. I acn access the files of winxp. but couldnot the Server 2003. how can i access the files?
[09:47] <Navy> I've connected an m2400w-printer, but there is no entry in /dev/usb/lp0
[09:47] <unop> apo, "could not" means what exactly?
[09:47] <hischild> osfameron, the correct way for that would be sudo -i, not sudo su. The first sets up the env properly.
[09:47] <masood> is there any ways to stop tearing while using compiz-fusion on drivers other than nvidia non-free?
[09:48] <ManualOverDozer8> osfameron yes now i recall doing that.
[09:48] <masood> it seems sync to vblank only works on nvidia non-free driver
[09:48] <axel_s> hischild, the problem is that my gf turned off my computer during dist upgrade and now most programs don't work because it cant resolve my local hostname anymore
[09:48] <cweagans> apo: easiest would be to set up an FTP server on your win2k3 server and use an FTP client to transfer files back and forth
[09:48] <unop> !hostname | axel_s
[09:48] <cweagans> hischild: you could also do sudo su -, which gets basically the same result
[09:48] <cweagans> =D
[09:48] <deltaslaya> Does anyone know why when I open OOo Calc I can't see the title bar of Calc, nor the two Ubuntu panels? Thanks.
[09:48] <unop> cweagans, err no
[09:49] <axel_s> ubottu, right sudo doesn't work anymore ;-)
[09:49] <apo> i am working on a workgroup. can access the pc with winxp, but unable to access the pc with win 2003 server os
[09:49] <masood> anybody?
[09:49] <hischild> cweagans, that leaves the env as it is, as the user set it up. sudo -i reinitializes the env as root, which is how it should be.
[09:49] <axel_s> ubottu, no gui because X wont start because of the same hostname issue
[09:49] <unop> axel_s, ubottu is a bot .. you will need to set the hostname in recovery mode
[09:49] <cweagans> hischild: oh, gotcha -- you wanted root env
[09:49] <cweagans> sorry
[09:49] <cweagans> misread
[09:49] <kun-10> how install by wine?
[09:50] <p4_xxx> I'm running samba behind a firewall, but i don't know which port it uses, i cant access files from another computer
[09:50] <osfameron> hischild: ah, shiny, not seen that
[09:50]  * cweagans jumps off cliff in fear of kun-10's wine questions
[09:50] <Gazbo14> have installed banshee but it will not pick up tracks on my ipod I am new to Ubuntu can you help please
[09:50] <cweagans> Gazbo14: amarok has pretty good support
[09:50] <axel_s> how do I get into single user mode?
[09:50] <Gazbo14> ok thanks.. ill give that a try..
[09:50] <hischild> axel_s, you can reboot into single user mode, which gives you root. Then you can use vim, vi or any other text editor to edit /etc/hosts to add your hostname to that list.
[09:50] <deltaslaya> anyone? :(
[09:51] <unop> apo, what have you tried? where is it failing? do you get any error messages? is the server and share visible to your ubuntu client?  - the more you tell us the easier it is to help you
[09:51] <cweagans> axel_s: reboot and select the recovery mode from the grub list
[09:51] <axel_s> cweagans, ok thanks
[09:51] <kun-10> how install by wine?
[09:51] <cweagans> axel_s: but it is console only
[09:51] <ManualOverDozer8> in terminal > wine installprogram.exe
[09:51] <axel_s> cweagans, lets hope this works with my raid 0 setup
[09:51] <ManualOverDozer8> replace installprograme.exe with the install program name
[09:51] <cweagans> =D
[09:51] <axel_s> cweagans, console is fine
[09:51] <Navy> Gnarf. Anyone there knows why my usb-printer is listes by "lsusb" but /dev/usb/lp0 isnt present on hardy-server?
[09:52] <thomc> what is upstart?
[09:52] <unop> p4_xxx, 137,138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp
[09:52] <p4_xxx> ok, from my windows pc it is visible, but i can access , im using ubuntu server
[09:52] <unop> !upstart | thomc
[09:52] <p4_xxx> ok
[09:53] <apo> i can see the server in network, but see nothing when click at the icon.. no error message also.
[09:53] <axel_s> cweagans, cool I changed my root passwd in recovery mode... even though I've seen some device related warnings
[09:54] <ManualOverDozer8> cweagansjust left
[09:54] <axel_s> Isn't that a security problem that root access can be gained by just starting the recovery console?
[09:54] <hischild> axel_s, having physical access to your computer is always a security problem.
[09:54] <ManualOverDozer8> axel_s if there is a will, there is a way
[09:54] <unop> axel_s, yes. but if a person can physically access your machine, there isn't much you can do
[09:54] <axel_s> thats right
[09:55] <ManualOverDozer8> hey dont tell him about liveCd and windows :P
[09:55] <p4_xxx> $ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT           Is this correct? under iptables
[09:55] <kun-10> i can't install by wine
[09:56] <axel_s> okay how should my /etc/hosts look like?
[09:56] <unop> apo,  at a terminal, issue this command.  smbclient //server/share -U username # can you connect to the share?
[09:56] <kun-10> wine: /home/kun-10/.wine is not owned by you
[09:56] <hischild> axel_s, what's your hostname?
[09:56] <axel_s> neon
[09:56] <deltaslaya> Does anyone know why when I open OOo Calc I can't see the title bar of Calc, nor the two Ubuntu panels? Thanks.
[09:56] <ManualOverDozer8> you cant install WINE or you cant install a program to WINE ?
[09:56] <kun-10> program
[09:56] <hischild> axel_s, then one line should look like this --> neon     <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:56] <ManualOverDozer8> use terminal
[09:56] <unop> p4_xxx, sounds good
[09:56] <kun-10> i use it
[09:56] <ManualOverDozer8> like this >  wine thenprogramname.exe
[09:57] <axel_s> hischild, it looks like it should be vice versa from the entries I can see in hosts
[09:57] <kun-10> wine Farm Frenzy 2.exe
[09:57] <unop> hischild, otherway around.
[09:57] <hischild> axel_s, my bad --> reverse that --> <IP_ADDRESS> neon
[09:57] <ManualOverDozer8> you need to configure wine first>. wincfg
[09:57] <axel_s> <IP_ADDRESS>     neon?
[09:57] <axel_s> okay thanks
[09:57] <hischild> unop, ^
[09:57] <kun-10> bash: wine: command not found
[09:57] <ManualOverDozer8> wincfg
[09:57] <ManualOverDozer8> winecfg
[09:57] <kun-10> what next?
[09:57] <ManualOverDozer8> did you configre wine ?
[09:57] <axel_s> hischild, wow now I've found the problem of all evil.. it said "<IP_ADDRESS>     neon" in the files
[09:58] <kun-10> i don't now how
[09:58] <stmartin> hello!
[09:58] <axel_s> weird
[09:58] <ManualOverDozer8> type > winecfg in terminal
[09:58] <hischild> axel_s, that doesn't matter .... the entire range of 127.0.*.* is good.
[09:58] <kun-10> ok
[09:58] <ManualOverDozer8> i got link just a sec
[09:58] <kun-10> i type it
[09:58] <stmartin> Can you tell me why my bluetooth device (mobile phone) is not recognizable on ubuntu 8.04?
[09:58] <kun-10> open window
[09:58] <kun-10> whats next?
[09:59] <Rageon> anyone tell me how id go about uninstalling firefox3.0 preview and installing current ff3?
[09:59] <ManualOverDozer8> !wine
[09:59] <unop> Rageon, how did you install the preview?
[09:59] <axel_s> hischild, thanks for everything! bye!
[10:00] <Rageon> someone gave me a command to run lol
[10:00] <inflex> what's a ubuntu panarama stitching software?
[10:00] <inflex> (package)
[10:00] <mrtimdog> inflex: hugin
[10:00] <unop> Rageon, hmm, that doesn't help very much.  what does this return?   dpkg -l *firefox*
[10:00] <inflex> thankyou mrtimdog
[10:00] <axel_s> hischild, one more question: what the command to upgrade/distupgrade on command line?
[10:01] <hischild> axel_s, sudo aptitude dist-upgrade  <---- iirc
[10:01] <unop> axel_s, sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade / dist-upgrade
[10:01] <axel_s> what safe-upgrade?
[10:02] <unop> axel_s, upgrade safely, without removing anything that might conflict with updates of packages
[10:02] <Rageon> unop, it sends out a printoutlike bunch of stufff
[10:02] <unop> Rageon, ok, can you put that up on a pastebin?
[10:03] <Rageon> like pm u with it or?
[10:03] <Er0x> can any1 help with this: http://pastebin.com/d12ce9931 http://pastebin.com/d4ad948e1 http://pastebin.com/d6ab417d9
[10:03] <unop> !pastebin | Rageon
[10:03] <axel_s> unop, is that the recommended way of upgrading?
[10:04] <unop> axel_s, actually this is recommended when doing a dist-upgrade.  sudo aptitude install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade  # it updates your /etc/apt/sources.list file accordingly
[10:04] <Rageon> unop, http://paste.ubuntu.com/31662/
[10:05] <pikeshouse88> or couldnt you just do an automatic upgrade? and have things less complicated? cant we trust the auto upgrade by 2008?
[10:06] <icewaterman> i wonder if this classifys as a bug or a feature, but if you change your theme the orange ubuntu-gnome symbol in the upper left corner will always stay the same
[10:06] <icewaterman> with gnome this is normally blue (looks better with other themes than the default)
[10:06] <axel_s> unop, my situation is that during an upgrade to the development branch my computer was turned off
[10:06] <jc-denton> hi all
[10:07] <jc-denton> network manager is not working correct
[10:07] <nao> helo.
[10:07] <unop> axel_s, then these might do.  sudo aptitude install -f; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade;
[10:07] <jc-denton> the wireless lan driver is working and i can set the ssid of an accesspoint with iwconfig
[10:07] <jc-denton> however
[10:07] <Rageon> any ideas unop?
[10:07] <pikeshouse88> axel_s: i would recommend starting over with http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[10:07] <unop> Rageon, yep, coming up
[10:07] <jc-denton> netwrokmanager does not "see" the wireless lan
[10:07] <Rageon> cheers
[10:07] <jc-denton> it just shows the wired network
[10:08] <jc-denton> also when looking at /var/log/daemon
[10:08] <jc-denton> it does not do anything wlan related
[10:08] <unop> Rageon, sudo aptitude purge $(dpkg -l | grep -i firefox | cut -d " " -f 2);  sudo aptitude update;  sudo aptitude install firefox
[10:08] <axel_s> pikeshouse88, does that just upgrade?
[10:09] <Rageon> can i do all those as one line mate or chop em up at the sudo's?
[10:09] <pikeshouse88> axel_s: i'm assuming you are plaing around with intrepid ibex because you are testing or developing, and you arent concerned with unforseen crashes and losses. so i would reformat and get into the development branch from scratch with that live cd
[10:09] <pikeshouse88> ^playing
[10:09] <unop> Rageon, better to copy and paste all that in.. but you can chop them down. though what would be the point? :)
[10:10] <Rageon> yea just making sure i can paste 1 line, as id rather be lazy :D
[10:10] <unop> Rageon, one step ahead of you there :)
[10:10] <pogay> jc-denton:  I used wpa_supplicant  (because nm didn't handle web/wpa)
[10:10] <Rageon> hehe
[10:11] <jc-denton> pogay: me too
[10:11] <jc-denton> pogay: and i'm fed up with it
[10:11] <jc-denton> also it's not my laptop
[10:11] <jc-denton> so i don't want to hear this
[10:11] <ManualOverDozer8> what application i install to save my current setup to CDRW . i know something like ???2iso ??
[10:11] <ManualOverDozer8> iso2CD ?
[10:11] <ks> is there a tool for logging file access via samba? eg. who deleted sth. etc.
[10:12] <vistakiller> hi
[10:12] <p4_xxx> instead of this ...$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT      i did $ sudo iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT, and now i can browse my files but it seem slow when it is asking for password , do u know if i have to do the same in all these ports ?  137,138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp
[10:12] <vistakiller> in hardy-proposed
[10:12] <jc-denton> so how does the network manager "talk" to the wlan driver?
[10:13] <vistakiller> sauerbraten is break package
[10:13] <jc-denton> pogay: it's retarded to write a configuration file to join a wlan network
[10:13] <unop> p4_xxx, i would suggest that yes.
[10:13] <pogay> jc-denton:  yeah, I agree!!!
[10:13] <vistakiller> for few days now i cant update sauerbraten because is break with sauerbraten-data
[10:13] <jc-denton> :)
[10:13] <Rageon> lol unop.. i had gran paridiso open when i uninstalled think it didnt work
[10:14] <pogay> jc-denton:  o.k. I still run 7.10
[10:14] <p4_xxx> ok
[10:14] <jc-denton> aha
[10:14] <dubb> hm
[10:14] <Rageon> whats the latest ff3 ?
[10:14] <unop> Rageon, hmm, i'm not sure i follow? what do you mean?
[10:14] <unop> !firefox3
[10:14] <ManualOverDozer8> jc-denton i found an application much better than Network Manager
[10:14] <Rageon> 3.0a8 ?
[10:14] <jc-denton> ManualOverDozer8: ?!
[10:14] <DistroJockey> Rageon, 3.0.1
[10:14] <jc-denton> loook
[10:14] <Rageon> didint work then unop :(
[10:14] <jc-denton> ubuntu and kubntu both ship network manager
[10:14] <jc-denton> it normally works
[10:15] <ManualOverDozer8>  jc-denton WicD
[10:15] <Rageon> seems to of installed another version of firefox 2?
[10:15] <jc-denton> but now it does not for xome strange reason
[10:15] <unop> !info firefox3 | Rageon
[10:15] <ManualOverDozer8> normally is right but not always
[10:15] <unop> come on ubottu - wake up
[10:15] <Rageon> that sent me no info :O
[10:15] <ManualOverDozer8> remove NetMan and install WicD, you will find wireless is much more fluent to configure
[10:15] <jc-denton> ManualOverDozer8: i don't want anything different
[10:15] <unop> Rageon,  3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> is the current version
[10:15] <jc-denton> is it just another frontend to network manager/
[10:15] <ManualOverDozer8>  jc-denton then you dont want ease of use
[10:16] <unop> Rageon, you on hardy i assume?
[10:16] <jc-denton> so how does nm talk to the driver?
[10:16] <Rageon> dunno lol
[10:16] <jc-denton> ManualOverDozer8: no it should work out of the box
[10:16] <AdvoWork> hi there, if i make a simple script that just does: /usr/bin/php myfile1.php then /usr/bin/php myfile2.php  how will that execute, run the 1st one and then the 2nd one once the first has finished or straight after another?
[10:16] <ManualOverDozer8>  jc-denton Network Manager doesnt like you using terminal commands
[10:16] <Rageon> gutsy i thought
[10:16] <unop> !version | Rageon
[10:16] <Ms_Cathy> Version: Acidblood 1.2.18
[10:16] <ManualOverDozer8>  jc-denton and it does but as soon as you do any manual configure it freaks out
[10:16] <sajuuk> hey guys wot do i get for dvd drivers?
[10:16] <Rageon> yea gutsy
[10:16] <sajuuk> this is on hardy
[10:17] <Rageon> does it work on gutsy?
[10:17] <pikeshouse88> axel_s: if you dont want the develop branch, use http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/
[10:17] <tparcina> shutdown -r TIME 23:00 - why this command doesn't work?
[10:17] <unop> AdvoWork, depends on how you write the script -- if those are on seperate lines, command 1 is executed first, when done, command 2 is done
[10:17] <pogay> jc-denton:  may be an other network manager has less bug. I wasn't able to connect to a protected network,password never was accepted..
[10:17] <pogay> jc-denton:  but with iwconfig I could connect...
[10:17] <unop> Rageon, unfortunately, firefox3 is only available in the hardy repos.
[10:18] <erUSUL> tparcina: TIME is not needed. sudo shutdown -r 23:00
[10:18] <tparcina> erUSUL: thank you!
[10:18] <Rageon> is hardy older or newer tan gutsy?
[10:18] <unop> newer
[10:18] <Rageon> i was running the ff3 preview tho.. still am actually?
[10:18] <jc-denton> me too
[10:18] <Navy> Anyone an idea, why  /dev/usb/lp0 isnt created when attach an usb-printer?
[10:19] <erUSUL> Navy: "tailf /var/log/messages" and attach the printer. Maybe you get some clue
[10:19] <jc-denton> let me ask again
[10:19] <sajuuk> requesting what type of dvd drivers i need to get for hardy heron?
[10:19] <jc-denton> how does nm talk to the wlan driver
[10:19] <Rageon> if i upgrade to hardy will it remember all of my settings?
[10:19] <erUSUL> sajuuk: dvd drives do not need anything special
[10:19] <jc-denton> cos if i don't know how, how am i supposed to fix it then
[10:19] <jc-denton> ?
[10:19] <unop> Rageon, pretty much yea
[10:20] <sajuuk> hmm my dvd drive can't play evangelion...
[10:20] <Rageon> any minus's about hardy? eg its still got compiz etc right?
[10:20] <erUSUL> sajuuk: for dvd playback (no data access) you need
[10:20] <erUSUL> !dvd | sajuuk
[10:21] <pikeshouse88> or use VLC
[10:21] <unop> Rageon, there are a few nagging issues -- if firefox3 is the only reason you have to upgrade, i would say, don't
[10:21] <sajuuk> thx i will go through those
[10:21] <Rageon> mmk
[10:21] <unop> Rageon, you can install firefox 3 from mozilla's download
[10:22] <Rageon> ?
[10:22] <pikeshouse88> i dont understand what the problem is. upgrade automatically, or reformat with a hardy disk. what else could you need?
[10:23] <Navy> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31667/
[10:24] <Rageon> as famous australian racist politiion pauline hanson would say "please explain" :D
[10:24] <Navy> Nothing wrong with it
[10:24] <unop> Rageon, http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=linux&lang=en-US
[10:26] <geirha> Rageon: resize partitions so you have 10 GB free space on one of your disks, then install hardy there, then you can test and see what works and what not whitout interfering with your current system
[10:26] <unop> Rageon, these instructions work despite being for the beta.  http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/install-firefox-3-beta-3-on-ubuntu/
[10:26] <erUSUL> Navy: only those lines... ? i got this extra line whn i plug mine  usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x1904
[10:27] <Navy> Nope. Only this 3 lines
[10:27] <erUSUL> Navy: so your device is not recogniced by usblp ¿¿
[10:27] <AdvoWork> unop so if file1.php does stuff to take 30 seconds, on a new line i call file2.php  file2.php will only begin running after file1.php has completed?
[10:27] <Rageon> cheers unop, does it cover in that how to uninstall the preview etc?
[10:27] <Navy> usblp?
[10:27] <unop> AdvoWork, correct.
[10:28] <erUSUL> Navy: the module that handless usb printers afaik
[10:28] <unop> AdvoWork, you can run them simulateneously - if that's what you are after.  php file1 & php file2
[10:28] <Navy> uhm... lets see if its loaded
[10:28] <AdvoWork> unop nope, need them to run after each other if you get me, that should be great, cheers!
[10:28] <unop> Rageon, errm no, but the command i gave you earlier should remove the "preview"
[10:28] <erUSUL> Navy: try "sudo modprobe usblp" with the printer plugged
[10:29] <Rageon> cheers
[10:29] <Navy> Yeah
[10:29] <Navy> That was it
[10:29] <Navy> thanx
[10:29] <chriswr> whats the offtopics room name?
[10:29] <geirha> AdvoWork: you can also have the second command run based on the return value of the first. "file1.php && file2.php" file2.php will only run if file1 completes successfully
[10:30] <Navy> erUSUL, how to thank you?
[10:30] <sx66eee> woot
[10:30] <erUSUL> Navy: no need; glad to help out
[10:30] <chriswr> !offtopic
[10:30] <AdvoWork> geirha how does it know if file1 has completed successfully though?
[10:31] <unop> AdvoWork, each process returns an exit status to the shell. the shell uses this value to determine if it was a success or not
[10:31] <AdvoWork> ahh I see
[10:31] <geirha> AdvoWork: if file1.php returns 0, that means it succeeded, all other values means it failed. I'm rusty on php, but you have the exit(number) function I think, and possibly return (number)
[10:32] <erUSUL> Navy: echo usblp | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[10:32] <Navy> Its allready in
[10:32] <Navy> :)
[10:32] <Navy> But thank you
[10:32] <p4_xxx> :-D i added all this ports 137,138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp,,  in iptables  ubuntu server trough samba ej. $ sudo iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT.   Working Perfect, thank u all,  thanks unop
[10:32] <unop> p4_xxx, brilliant
[10:32] <ManualOverDozer8> MODs jc-denton offensive
[10:32] <jc-denton> jc-denton is offensive!!
[10:33] <jc-denton> i just wanted to help him
[10:33] <ManualOverDozer8> kids just want to play
[10:33] <ManualOverDozer8> ignored
[10:33] <GreySim> Is there any more specific channel than this to ask packaging questions?
[10:34] <ManualOverDozer8> you asked for help, i didnt, and you asked to be ignored. and this isnt the place to be offensive to people helping you
[10:34] <ManualOverDozer8> enuf said
[10:34] <GreySim> I'm pondering setting up a PPA.
[10:34] <ZStar> that's right
[10:34] <Blaqlight> ManualOverDozer8: well said :F
[10:34] <ZStar> people learn to not be rude
[10:34] <ZStar> to be considerate and kind to others
[10:34] <harveyd> Can I get wc to ignore new lines in cat src/*.ext | wc -l  ?
[10:35] <sajuuk> ok i got gxine
[10:35] <sajuuk> and it still won't play dvd
[10:35] <unop> harveyd, you mean "blank" lines? coz every line has a newline
[10:35] <harveyd> yes blank lines, or lines containing only a new line at least
[10:35] <apinunt> Does anyone here use DHCP and have both a working eth0 and wlan0?
[10:36] <krazy-h> hello to everybody :D
[10:36] <krazy-h> I thinks that all going good :D
[10:37] <ManualOverDozer8> apinunt check your dhclient.wlan0.leases file
[10:37] <unop> harveyd, cat src/ext* | perl -lne 'print if /^\s*\S+/' | wc -l
[10:37] <harveyd> brilliant, cheers
[10:38] <sajuuk> very weird... xine says i have everything to play dvd's... but dvds wont play
[10:39] <Blaqlight> !dvd | sajuuk
[10:39] <sajuuk> done that
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[10:39] <apinunt> ManualOverDozer8: What I'm looking for is the content of /etc/network/interfaces from a working system as Ubuntu has created some obviously unusable entries in ours.
[10:39] <Blaqlight> sajuuk: what exactly did you do
[10:39] <Blaqlight> sajuuk: and did you try another dvd?
[10:40] <jc-denton> apinunt: just delete everything
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> jc-denton: its better to rename rather than delete
[10:40] <jc-denton> auto lo
[10:40] <jc-denton> auto lo inet loopback
[10:40] <sajuuk> downloaded gxine, made sure i had the lib codec thing, did "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh" command wasn't found, tried 2 dvds.
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> if you rename the interfaces file and reboot a fresh one will be created
[10:40] <apinunt> jc-denton: And...?
[10:41] <jc-denton> nm should work w/o /etc/network/interfaces
[10:41] <jc-denton> not sure if you need it to bring up loopback
[10:41] <Blaqlight> sajuuk: did you install libdvdcss (2)?
[10:41] <Blaqlight> not version 1
[10:42] <sajuuk> i will check
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | sajuuk
[10:42] <Blaqlight> ActionParsnip: already did that.
[10:42] <serge> hi there!
[10:42] <serge> tell me, please, how to find out what driver do my video card uses at this moment?
[10:42] <sajuuk> im on hardy
[10:43] <Blaqlight> sajuuk: its a restricted format you need to download it separately.
[10:43] <sajuuk> so libdvdcss2 would be useless?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> serge: lshw
[10:43] <Blaqlight> and explicitly
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> serge: easiest way is to open your xorg.conf
[10:43] <Blaqlight> or you can't play dvd's
[10:43] <sajuuk> can i do sudo apt-install libdvdcss2?
[10:43] <serge> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[10:43] <Blaqlight> no follow the above instructions
[10:43] <apinunt> jc-denton: Are you saying the file is not used ?
[10:43] <sajuuk> cos synaptic takes too long
[10:44] <blogi> can i pm someone here...i need help
[10:44] <er0x_> how to check what rights got group?
[10:44] <Blaqlight> !patience | sajuuk
[10:44] <Blaqlight> lol wrong thing for patience but you need to to download and install it, there are NO shortcuts.
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> blogi: ask in the room, you will get more responses
[10:45] <sajuuk> aye, i sometimes cant stand synaptic and its search function sometimes...
[10:45] <mrtimdog> sajuuk: apt-get install <pkg>
[10:45] <Blaqlight> sajuuk: just follow the instructions above and it WILL work.
[10:45] <nubuntu> i didn't know you could download 'patience' ... that's wonderful.
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: what mrtimdog said ;)
[10:46] <Blaqlight> mrtimdog: you can't do that with restricted formats/drivers
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> !info patience
[10:46] <nubuntu> dOH!
[10:46] <geirha> sajuuk: and to search for packages containing the string foo in the terminal: aptitude search foo
[10:46] <sajuuk> aha
[10:46] <nubuntu> i
[10:47] <Blaqlight> fine do what they say, when that fails, do as I said and you'll be able to play your dvd's
[10:47] <nubuntu> i'm still waiting to download free beer.
[10:47] <pikeshouse88> or you could just use VLC
[10:47] <pikeshouse88> and be done with it
[10:47] <serge> ActionParsnip: u know, it didn't wrote me driver name ((
[10:47] <sajuuk> im doing both of wot you guys recommend me to do
[10:48] <ghostcube> hi anyone here firm with ubuntu-server
[10:48] <serge> where can i find xorg.conf?
[10:48] <ghostcube> i updated to 2.6.x.20 and no way to boot the new kernel 2.6.x.19 works fine so far
[10:48] <ghostcube> /etc/X11 se
[10:48] <ghostcube> /etc/X11 serge
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> serge: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:49] <sajuuk> E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate
[10:49] <ghostcube> medibuntu repos bneeded
[10:49] <pikeshouse88> sajuuk: sudo apt-get install vlc
[10:49] <pikeshouse88> and play your dvd with vlc
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: try tab completing it
[10:50] <ghostcube> guys has he installed medibuntu repos if not no way
[10:50] <ghostcube> :)
[10:50] <ghostcube> so back to my server kernel prob
[10:50] <jc-denton> apinunt: at least it should not
[10:50] <sajuuk> ok
[10:50] <sajuuk> i will know the answer in 10 min
[10:51] <sajuuk> thx for your help so far
[10:51] <ghostcube> sajuuk: if u search google for medibuntu repo u will find it
[10:51] <ghostcube> :)
[10:51] <sajuuk> can i add the medibuntu repo ?
[10:51] <geirha> !medibuntu | sajuuk
[10:51] <ghostcube> thx geirha dont know the bot tags in here
[10:51] <ghostcube> :)
[10:52] <drainman> what is the package called that gives auto complete in the terminal
[10:52] <sajuuk> yeah good work
[10:52] <serge> ActionParsnip: i am form live cd now, so i am not curious xorg.conf have nothing interesting
[10:52] <Starnestommy> drainman: I think it's bash-completion
[10:52] <drainman> Starnestommy, thanks
[10:52] <sajuuk> xorg is scary stuff when it dont work
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> serge: yeah as its using vesa, the failsafe driver
[10:53] <serge> ActionParsnip: can it, if it is compiz runnin' now?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: secret is to make one for each machine you own and put it on your backup media
[10:53] <apinunt> jc-denton: We've spent a few months trying to get wlan0 to work and even appear, and are now seeing that it exists and can begin negotiation with the router, but displays IP addresses which cannot be used. I think we can resolve the problem by manually editing the interfaces file but would like to see one that works currently.
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> serge: no, you need 3d accelleration, what graphics card do you have?
[10:53] <serge> intel 945
[10:54] <jc-denton> lol\
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> serge: unless you have a tonne of ram you wont get compiz running in live environment
[10:54] <jc-denton> i love ubuntu
[10:54] <talope> me too
[10:54] <jc-denton> apinunt: just reinstall it would be faster :P
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> i love fluxbuntu
[10:55] <ghostcube> ok guys
[10:55] <ghostcube> why should the intel 945 not work
[10:55] <ghostcube> ??
[10:55] <serge> ActionParsnip: but i have such effects as desktop wall (win-e) all the transparency and so on
[10:55] <ghostcube> any explanation to an cf supporter please
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> ghostcube: serge: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install 915resolution
[10:55] <apinunt> jc-denton: We've gone that route many many times, and end up in this same position.
[10:56] <ghostcube> ActionParsnip: i dont ned this i support cf guy so why should it not work for him
[10:56] <ghostcube> with an intel 945
[10:56] <serge> the problem is i used ati express 1251
[10:56] <Blaqlight> ghostcube: did you update to ubuntu 8.04
[10:56] <ghostcube> Blaqlight: sure
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> serge: then why did yuo say intel?
[10:57] <Blaqlight> ghostcube: mine works perfectly without 915resolution
[10:57] <ghostcube> serge: damn thats a complete ifferent card lol
[10:57] <Blaqlight> I have the intel 945gm chip
[10:57] <ghostcube> Blaqlight: i have no probs lol i have an gf 7900 gt

[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Gazbo14: you have xmms specified as your play now app, you need to change it
[10:58] <ghostcube> ^^ eh
[10:58] <pikeshouse88> what is the problem ghostcube
[10:58] <ghostcube> i have only an server problem :D
[10:58] <hachaboob> Is there an Intrepid channel?
[10:58] <serge> (09:55:40) ActionParsnip: ghostcube: i have no problems with ati, but it doesnot works with intel =))
[10:58] <ghostcube> but i found the channel
[10:58] <pikeshouse88> and which is what]=
[10:58] <Starnestommy> hachaboob: #ubuntu+1
[10:58] <ghostcube> i was wrong i have no problem so far on normal ubuntu
[10:58] <jc-denton> apinunt: well
[10:59] <pikeshouse88> ghostcube: www.sbeattyconsulting.com/blog/%3Fp%3D13+ubuntu+server+kernel+update&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us
[10:59] <Gazbo14> ActionParsnip: What do i change it to? And how?
[10:59] <jc-denton> they promised that nm 0.7 will be much better
[10:59] <ghostcube> pikeshouse88: oh let me see
[10:59] <ghostcube> :)
[10:59] <pikeshouse88> ghostcube: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:VMn89Me3oVAJ:www.sbeattyconsulting.com/blog/%3Fp%3D13+ubuntu+server+kernel+update&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us
[10:59] <jc-denton> that it will be the new chuck norris and blah blah
[10:59] <jc-denton> i just hope that it will work reliable
[10:59] <serge> ghostcube: can ubuntu recognize on startup what driver it should use, or what channel should i catch?
[10:59] <jc-denton> did anybody here try it btw?
[10:59] <BaD-CrC> Gazbo14: load gtkpod. go to the Edit menu, Edit Preferences, click the Tools tab, change "xmms %s" to "totem %s" w/o the quotes
[11:00] <Gazbo14> Thanks BaD-CrC
[11:00] <ghostcube> serge: u tell it in xorg.conf which driver to use for x startup
[11:00] <Blaqlight> serge: it should but remember, nothing is perfect
[11:00] <bsusa> hello
[11:00] <ghostcube> pikeshouse88: thats not the prob for me i have updated to the new release x.20
[11:00] <apinunt> jc-denton: Really interested in seeing exactly what is contained in a properly created interfaces file.
[11:00] <ghostcube> and the kernel isnt coming up
[11:00] <ghostcube> :|
[11:01] <Blaqlight> !hi | bsusa
[11:01] <pikeshouse88> ghostcube: remove the old kernel
[11:01] <AdvoWork> when using cp to copy files, is there any way to have cp return something if its worked?
[11:01] <geirha> serge: xorg may be able to detect the proper driver if you have no video device configured in xorg.conf, but it's only successful with video cards that does not use proprietary binary drivers
[11:01] <ghostcube> i have only 2 kernels
[11:01] <ghostcube> x.19
[11:02] <ghostcube> x.20
[11:02] <ghostcube> i always remove them
[11:02] <ghostcube> i use 200 mb boot
[11:02] <FloodBot1> ghostcube: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:02] <ghostcube> so not many space for old ones
[11:02] <Blaqlight> ghostcube: keep the other until your sure the other works
[11:02] <pikeshouse88> sudo aptitude -y remove linux-image-2.6.24-19-server
[11:02] <Blaqlight> ghostcube: they won't effect each other.
[11:02] <ghostcube> pikeshouse88: its the only one that runs so far no way to remove this its an university machine so
[11:03] <jc-denton> apinunt:
[11:03] <bsusa> could someone please tell me how i can assign all permissions on this particular folder and all files a subdirectories in it? i tried sudo chmod 777 myth but it only does thr myth directory.
[11:03] <jc-denton> auto lo
[11:03] <jc-denton> iface lo inet loopback
[11:03] <jc-denton> auto lo
[11:03] <jc-denton> iface lo inet loopback
[11:03] <FloodBot1> jc-denton: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:03] <jc-denton> sry
[11:03] <ghostcube> uff hard anti flood procedure :)
[11:03] <jc-denton> as explained above
[11:03] <pikeshouse88> if .20 isnt coming up, then sudo update-grub
[11:03] <Blaqlight> jc-denton: if you must paste multiple line please use pastbin.ubuntu.com
[11:03] <pikeshouse88> and then you should see it
[11:03] <ghostcube> pikeshouse88: i know how this all works it works fine
[11:04] <ghostcube> it just freezes the kernel at startup
[11:04] <Finiras> there is a readme that tells me to run this command to check for dependencies: make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep' BUT if i do that, all i get is >, and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong??
[11:04] <DistroJockey> bsusa, -R does that (see  man chmod)
[11:04] <artagnon> Alsa problem [ http://rafb.net/p/duAS4G70.html  ] >> Any ideas?
[11:04] <Blaqlight> Finiras: are you trying to build a custom kernel?
[11:04] <jc-denton> Blaqlight: oh i didn't know that
[11:04] <ghostcube> its an amd sempron cpu with 2 sata hard disks
[11:04] <mrtimdog> apinunt: See man wpa_supplicant.conf, there's a few examples.
[11:05] <ghostcube> could it be the sata disks ?
[11:05] <Finiras> blaqlight no, i am trying to install this program: motion
[11:05] <bsusa> yep just tried it before forgot about that one i was using -r instead of -R
[11:05] <Blaqlight> Finiras: use sudo apt-get install mothion
[11:05] <Blaqlight> err
[11:05] <sajuuk> i think im out of luck with my dvd, vlc hasnt worked either but I swear i have a dvd player
[11:05] <bsusa> k thanks Distrojockey
[11:05] <DistroJockey> bsusa, you're welcome
[11:05] <Blaqlight> sudo apt-get install motion
[11:06] <Finiras> blaqlight sorry it is not what i meant, i am installing the driver for hte webcam first.
[11:06] <Finiras> which is what im doing now
[11:06] <Blaqlight> !dvd | sajuuk follow the direction explicitly it will work :D
[11:06] <geirha> bsusa: btw chmod 777 is never a good idea to to
[11:06] <Finiras> so what is wrong about that command\
[11:06] <AikonIV> I want to create a custom LiveCD with some user settings (like IM accounts in Pidgin etc). How should I set that up in the chroot environment?
[11:06] <Finiras> so what is wrong about that command, blaqlight
[11:07] <dusty_> Hey guys, I have just configured dual monitors in Ubuntu 8.04.  Using ATI Radeon HD card and one 19inch CRT and one 22inch LCD.  THe LCD has 1600x1050 and the 19" has 1680x1280 - I have done aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse --overlay-on=1 and I am unable to drag windows from one screen to the next, i can move the mouse across both screens but not application windows, any idea how to get that working ?
[11:07] <bsusa> Distrojockey: just another thing is their a way of always having 777 permissiond in that folder if i copy new data to that location?
[11:07] <dusty_> Or does it not work with different resolutions
[11:07] <ikonia> AikonIV: look in the . file in your home directory, eg: .gnome2 .pidgin etc, to understand how it's setup
[11:07] <orgthingy> hi
[11:07] <bsusa> geirha: Why is it a bad idea?
[11:07] <lusule> hi there, i'm having problems, certain applications have stopped working, as in i can't open them anymore, and i can't run scripts.  unfortunately these are important programs like terminal and firefox
[11:07] <orgthingy> how can I make a "short-cut" command again?
[11:07] <DistroJockey> bsusa, as geirha said 777 is not a good idea
[11:08] <bsusa> but its just for a temp storage folder
[11:08] <bsusa> its only for one folder
[11:08] <Finiras> there is a readme that tells me to run this command to check for dependencies: make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep' BUT if i do that, all i get is >, and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?? (i am trying to install a webcam driver)
[11:08] <bsusa> why would it be bad
[11:08] <AikonIV> ikonia: ok, but I want the files to be in the squashfs to load with the LiveCD. So I guess the question is how do I change the default files in the home directory for the live user?
[11:09] <geirha> bsusa: it gives everyone write access, you should put all users that need write-access into a group
[11:09] <bsusa> coul you explain please?
[11:09] <Blaqlight> geirha is right.
[11:09] <bsusa> yes understadable i know but its for a temp folder for everyone to access
[11:10] <bsusa> jus need them for this particular folder itsallgood
[11:10] <bsusa> thanks heaps guys
[11:10] <apinunt> mrtimdog: I don't see any samples of a good interfaces file in that, and we've looked at man interfaces, but are wanting to see what is really NEEDED in the file for everything to work.
[11:10] <assi> hello i have a big problem with sudo. Ive installed the hardy heron 8.04 64bit version and this version doesn't had a live CD installation only a text installation. So i installed it with the text and it asked me for a password i gave it ones and then after all it was installed and everytime i will update or change something it asked please passwort and then i write the passwort but then it tells me that : sudo deosnt allow me to use this prgram
[11:10] <Blaqlight> bsusa: if everyone has write access to a folder it defeats the purpose of security.. one of the main strengths of linux
[11:10] <ikonia> AikonIV: you change the files and compress them with squash FS
[11:11] <bsusa> i no but its just a temp folder man just copy on delete
[11:11] <bsusa> i understand what you mean
[11:11] <LOLABOUGADWOUATR> WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA l'anglais ça pue!!!

[11:12] <lusule> anyone able to help me with my programs not working?  this has happened to me before and i really need to know what's causing :(
[11:12] <LanceMartin> Aren't there times when it would be nice to have a common folder that everyone could access ...

[11:13] <JoL> hi there
[11:13] <JoL> someone here who's familiar with Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu?
[11:13] <AikonIV> ikonia: the problem is that the live user "ubuntu" and its home directory seem to be dynamically created on boot up. Is there a good explanation anywhere of the LiveCD scripts and how they work?
[11:14] <dusty_> Anyone ?
[11:14] <ikonia> AikonIV: there is a wiki page on it
[11:14] <scriptha_> My partition corrupt, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc6, missing codepage or helper program, or other error  In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg|tail or so. Someone told me to do fsck /dev/sdc6 but that's giving me errors. What should I do?
[11:15] <Finiras> there is a readme that tells me to run this command to check for dependencies: make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep' BUT if i do that, all i get is >, and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?? (i am trying to install a webcam driver)
[11:15] <assi> no help with my sudo problem
[11:15] <ikonia> Finiras: thats for building a kernal
[11:15] <Blaqlight> !repeat | assi
[11:15] <AikonIV> ikonia: k thanks I'll look into it
[11:15] <ikonia> Finiras: make dep is depreciated
[11:15] <assi> hello i have a big problem with sudo. Ive installed the hardy heron 8.04 64bit version and this version doesn't had a live CD installation only a text installation. So i installed it with the text and it asked me for a password i gave it ones and then after all it was installed and everytime i will update or change something it asked please passwort and then i write the passwort but then it tells me that : sudo deosnt allow me to use this prg
[11:16] <miegalius-loxs> miegaliuz, loxnena
[11:16] <Blaqlight> assi: you must use the first USER you created and their password
[11:16] <Blaqlight> assi: thats what sudo uses
[11:16] <ikonia> assi: please do the following "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal, when you type in your password, what is the EXACT error you get please.
[11:16] <assi> i used that
[11:17] <assi> okay ikona wait a sek
[11:17] <assi> ikonia: p is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[11:17] <ikonia> assi: ok - so p is not the default user you setup
[11:17] <ikonia> assi: I assume "p" is your username
[11:18] <assi> ikonia: yes
[11:18] <gh0st-Pirate> does anyone here know anything about C++?
[11:18] <Blaqlight> assi: at the very least thats a poor username.
[11:18] <ikonia> assi: p is not the user you setup at install time
[11:18] <JoL> what is the command to show all running servers on my machine?
[11:18] <ikonia> gh0st-Pirate: most of the people in #c++ do
[11:18] <assi> ikonia: i don' t mind
[11:18] <ikonia> JoL: ps
[11:18] <ikonia> assi: you don't mind what ?
[11:19] <lusule> hi there, really desperate for help with my broken programs, anyone have any ideas on how to fix why i can't open programs or run scripts?
[11:19] <assi> ikonia: that p ist a poor name
[11:19] <LOLABOUGADWOUATR> Is there a prog to change .ogg to .mp3 on ubuntu??
[11:19] <mrtimdog> JoL: What kind of servers? TCP?
[11:19] <ikonia> assi: I didn't say it was
[11:19] <JoL> apache, mysql and so on
[11:19] <ikonia> assi: I said p is not the username you setup at install
[11:19] <ikonia> JoL: ps -ef
[11:19] <sCOTTo> DAM! hey guys - does anyone know why one of my laptops would have gone all weird in the gnome config after it did an update ?
[11:20]  * sCOTTo is lost...
[11:20] <assi> ikonia: hmm i sue everytime this username i must be p
[11:20] <JoL> thanks ;-)
[11:20] <ikonia> assi: that is not the username you setup at install time. What is the username you setup at install time
[11:20] <irumat> LOLABOUGADWOUATR - Install "Sound Converter" from Add/Remove
[11:20] <ikonia> sCOTTo: what do you mean "gone all weird" you need to be specific please.
[11:20] <assi> ikonia: i don know perhaps petrit
[11:20] <mrtimdog> sCOTTo: http://maps.google.co.uk :)
[11:20] <Blaqlight> ikonia: I suspect he doesnt know.
[11:21] <assi> ikonia: i really dont know^
[11:21] <ikonia> assi: if you don't know your own user name and password at install time I suggest your re-install and pay close attention to what's being said on screen
[11:21] <sCOTTo> ikonia: the theme just went away and also the theme default - which is UGLY... it came up - but there are no title bar buttons n e more etc...
[11:21] <dusty_> Hey guys, I have just configured dual monitors in Ubuntu 8.04.  Using ATI Radeon HD card and one 19inch CRT and one 22inch LCD.  THe LCD has 1600x1050 and the 19" has 1680x1280 - I have done aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse --overlay-on=1 and I am unable to drag windows from one screen to the next, i can move the mouse across both screens but not application windows, any idea how to get that working ?
[11:21] <Blaqlight> assi: you need to contact the person who installed ubuntu, without that your out of luck.
[11:22] <ikonia> sCOTTo: can you launch/do anything ?
[11:22] <assi> ikonia: that is my username and passwort when i look at usernames and grops in ubuntu are two things there root and p
[11:22] <ikonia> assi: that is not the username and password you setup at install time
[11:22] <sCOTTo> ikonia: yeah but its just REALLY uncomfortable... all my settings seem to be bye bye
[11:22] <sCOTTo> mrtimdog: what?
[11:23] <ikonia> sCOTTo: have you tried applying a new theme to see how it responds ?
[11:23] <LanceMartin> Is there a simple program to dial the modem for calling a number in the Kontact database program
[11:23] <sCOTTo> ikonia: yes the colours take but the titla bar STILL stays how it is... no buttons...
[11:23] <sCOTTo> as in teh X andminimise buttons etc
[11:23] <ikonia> sCOTTo: what window decorator are you using ?
[11:24] <assi> ikonia: but it the right one because when i write a wrong ones it tells me wrong passwort and when i write my passwort (the right one) it tells me that sudo dont allow me to use this programm
[11:24] <sCOTTo> dunno - how do i find that ?
[11:24] <harveyd> unop: (or anyone else) sorry another quick question, how would I have cat src/*.ext | perl -lne 'print if /^\s*\S+/' | | wc -l changed to also ignore lines beginning with %
[11:24] <chriswr> help plz , i got a folder on my desktop that has a lock icon on it and i want to delete it but it wont let me , how would i do this?
[11:24] <ikonia> assi: it's not the right one, you've either a.) got the wrong user from when you installed b.) removed that user from the sudoers file
[11:24] <sCOTTo> ikonia: how do i find out ?
[11:25] <ikonia> sCOTTo: ok, well lets get simple, can you disable "advanced desktop effects"
[11:25] <assi> ikonia: where is this list
[11:25] <sCOTTo> ikonia: they dont work n e ways :)
[11:25] <ikonia> assi: what list ?
[11:25] <ikonia> sCOTTo: what video card do you have ?
[11:25] <sCOTTo> ikonia: searched - its metacity
[11:25] <ikonia> sCOTTo: thats good
[11:25] <assi> ikonia: the sudors list
[11:26] <sCOTTo> yup
[11:26] <sCOTTo> how do i fix it ? :)
[11:26] <ikonia> sCOTTo: thats a good question, I'm not sure what's actually wrong from your descirption, is it just big ? or crahsed ?
[11:26] <sCOTTo> ikonia: how do i fix it ?
[11:27] <ikonia> sCOTTo: stop asking everything every 2 seconds if you don't get an imediate response
[11:27] <ikonia> assi: /etc/sudoers
[11:27] <sCOTTo> ikonia: nah the title bar of all my windows has gone weird - it shows no button to kill the windo, minimise or maximise...\
[11:27] <eirik_> how can i make an alias/shortcut for a terminal command? (e.g. make "paq" to execute "/bin/paq8o10")
[11:28] <ikonia> sCOTTo: open system -> administration -> appearence menu
[11:28] <ikonia> erikja: alias paq `/bin/paq8o10`
[11:28] <geirha> eirik_: edit ~/.bashrc
[11:28] <sipior> forward quotes, not back, i believe
[11:29] <sCOTTo> dam i went to something else and it all crashed!
[11:29] <sCOTTo> lol
[11:29] <eirik_> thanks geirha / ikonia :)
[11:29] <sCOTTo> whats the command for re-installing something with apt-get ?
[11:29] <assi> ikonia: i cant open this file shit no nano no gedit becauuuussseeeeeeee iam not allowed shit sudddddooooooooooooooo

[11:30] <ikonia> assi: if you want help - behave responsibly, if you want to mess around, please go elsewhere
[11:30] <chrisfromgreece> HELP with Lexmark Printer
[11:31] <assi> ikonia: i have solved it i download the livecd and installed it neuw motherfucking ubuntu
[11:31] <Blaqlight> lol that was fast
[11:31] <chrisfromgreece> help with lexmark z1320 printer !
[11:31] <chrisfromgreece> drivers?
[11:32] <Adondai> hey, is it possible to have 3 partitions running, one with Vista, one ubunutu and data files such as documents and music shared between the two on the 3rd partition? haha perhaps thats ludicrous but it would be perfect if it was possible
[11:32] <geirha> chrisfromgreece: search for it at www.linuxprinting.org
[11:32] <_CHERKES_> SOSAT' SHOTITE
[11:32] <Ubobtu45> okay I copied my installs with this term command dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-package and placed the file on my desk top how do I get ubuntu to load the installs?
[11:32] <Blaqlight> Adondai: sure it is
[11:33] <geirha> Ubobtu45: sudo dpkg --set-selections <my-package
[11:33] <icesword> hi
[11:34] <Ubobtu45> geirha it says there is no such directory
[11:35] <Adondai> blaqlight, please continue... =P
[11:35] <chriswr> how do i unhide folders??????
[11:35] <Ubobtu45> geirha how do I use it when it's on my desktop? and my username is nickolaus
[11:36] <geirha> Ubobtu45: you need to set the proper path to that file. Possibly: sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~/Desktop/my-package
[11:37] <chriswr> how do i unhide folders??????
[11:37] <wols_> ???
[11:37] <DistroJockey> chriswr, ctrl+h
[11:37] <geirha> chriswr: are you sure you want to do that? naming a file or folder with a . infront hides it. If you want to see hidden files in nautilus, the file browser, hit Ctrl+H to toggle
[11:39] <deanm> can anyone tell me where I can get PythonLibs for hardy?
[11:39] <hyperair> pythonlibs? what dyou mean pythonlibs?
[11:39] <hyperair> python-dev perhaps?
[11:39] <anirudh0> how do i set the ssh login shell on a remote machine?
[11:39] <anirudh0> it defaults to tcsh ..i want bash
[11:40] <nich^> run "chsh" from the remove machine and change it from there
[11:40] <nich^> remote
[11:40] <anirudh0> nich^, i need it to work on login
[11:40] <sCOTTo> ikonia: ok heres the low down - my xwindows isnt booting at all unless using recovery mode... the ubuntu Studio logo comes up and it freezes
[11:40] <nickolaus> Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
[11:40] <geirha> anirudh0: yes, chsh (change shell) changes the login shell
[11:40] <anirudh0> else i could always type "bash" in the remote machine
[11:41] <DRebellion> nickolaus, open a terminal, and enter: killall firefox
[11:41] <nickolaus> I keep getting that error when I try to load firefox.
[11:41] <anirudh0> thanks
[11:41] <geirha> anirudh0: however, the ability to run chsh may be turned off if the admins of the remote servers are a bit paranoid
[11:41] <chriswr> geirha DistroJockey just wondering if it works in backtrack , trying to install it and had to delete file , thnx
[11:42] <lusule> how do i add a new user through the terminal if i can't access the user gui thing?
[11:42] <nickolaus> drebellion it's still giving me that error.
[11:42] <geirha> lusule: adduser --help
[11:42] <anirudh0> yup..my admins are paranoid..cant run chsh
[11:42] <DRebellion> lusule, 'adduser'
[11:42] <hyperair> nickolaus: killall -9 firefox-bin
[11:42] <DistroJockey> chriswr, backtrack is a live cd only (and is not ubuntu)
[11:42] <Adondai> Blaqlight, is there a way?
[11:42] <lusule> geirha, if i need to give it full admin access like my default user?
[11:42] <anirudh0> i added /bin/bash to .ssh/rc..that did'nt work...says /bin/bash ..command not found
[11:42] <chriswr> DistroJockey: but you can still install on hdd
[11:43] <DRebellion> lusule, you need to edit /etc/sudoers using 'visudo'
[11:43] <nich^> anirudh0: you edit .bashrc and add 'tsch' to the bottom
[11:43] <hyperair> anirudh0: figure out the location of bash by typing "which bash"
[11:43] <DRebellion> anirudh0, what are you trying to do?
[11:43] <lusule> DRebellion, thanks
[11:43] <anirudh0> its /bin/bash only..however i still get command not found
[11:43] <chriswr> DistroJockey: etleast thats what ive read and trying to figure out ,(and no its not ubuntu , but it is linux , and most of the linux systems are somewhat alike)
[11:43] <nickolaus> hyperair it keeps saying no process killed.
[11:43] <anirudh0> DRebellion, i want to run in bash
[11:43] <anirudh0> DRebellion, my admin like tcsh
[11:44] <DRebellion> anirudh0, then change his shell in /etc/passwd
[11:44] <DistroJockey> !ot | chriswr
[11:44] <hyperair> nickolaus: okay.. then try ps aux | grep firefox and pastebin the results.
[11:44] <geirha> lusule: sudo adduser username; sudo adduser username admin
[11:44] <anirudh0> i am not superuser
[11:44] <lusule> geirha, thanks
[11:44] <DRebellion> anirudh0, then ask him to change his shell in /etc/passwd
[11:45] <unop> harveyd, src/*.ext | perl -lne 'print if /^\s*\S+|^\s*\%/' | | wc -l
[11:45] <jmunro> could anyone suggest a good way of timing how long a livecd takes to boot
[11:45] <TemplePrime> is there a way I can use a ubuntu server edition to do network logon on several windows vista boxes?
[11:45] <jmunro> stop watch isnt really accurate enough
[11:45] <nich^> If that admin won't install bash, could you install bash locally I think
[11:45] <DRebellion> jmunro, 'dmesg'
[11:45] <geirha> lusule: if you want the user to have the exact same access, run "groups yourusername" and "groups thenewusername" and compare. Then "sudo adduser username anothergroup" to add the user to another group
[11:46] <DRebellion> nich^, you could compile bash and use it without insalling it
[11:46] <lusule> geirha, thanks a load :)  now i need to log into that account and see if i can find the source of my problme :(
[11:47] <TemplePrime> is there a way I can use a ubuntu server edition to do network logon on several windows vista boxes?
[11:48] <jmunro> DRebellion: does the final entry in dmesg represent a successfully finished boot?
[11:48] <nickolaus> I copied with  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-package  in term and now how do I install all of my old packages. I used  sudo dpkg --get-selections < /home/$USER/Desktop/my-package and I just get a read out.
[11:48] <peppo> so, I had a hard reboot from Windows, and now Wubi/Ubuntu 8.04 goes to busybox after grub. is there a way to recover from this?
[11:48] <geirha> lusule: what problem is that?
[11:48] <hyperair> nickolaus: how about --set-selections
[11:48] <geirha> nickolaus: get-selections to get the selections, set-selections to _set_ the selections
[11:48] <DRebellion> jmunro, it depends what you define as booted.
[11:49] <DRebellion> peppo, what's the error?
[11:49] <jmunro> DRebellion: to a useable desktop (login is automatic)
[11:50] <DRebellion> jmunro, write a script that writes a message to the system log, and then have it run as the last item of your session.
[11:50] <anirudh0> i added /bin/bash to ~/.tcshrc
[11:50] <anirudh0> until the admin changes in /etc/passwd
[11:50] <pogay> curlftpfs/ubuntu7.10 - are there issus with the libs? curlftpfs: Installiert:0.9.1-1 libcurl3: Installiert:7.16.4-2ubuntu1
[11:51] <jmunro> DRebellion: that is a good suggestion, how do I write a message to the system log?
[11:51] <DRebellion> jmunro, I don't know.
[11:51] <pogay> curlftp doesn't work for me correctly. even destroys files when saving
[11:51] <chrisfromgreece> HELP Lexmark Z1320 is supported ?
[11:51] <chrisfromgreece> msg me please
[11:51] <jmunro> DRebellion: thanks, I will investigate
[11:51] <lusule> geirha - my user has become seriously messed up, i can't start programs like terminal and firefox, can't start most new programs at all tbh, gimp works for some reason
[11:51] <peppo> DRebellion, bootup halted after first ubuntu splash and dumped to busybox. no error. however, after a boot into XP and a file system check there, wubi/ubuntu 8.04 works now.
[11:51] <chrisfromgreece> HELP I want drivers for LExmark Z1320 is supported ???
[11:51] <DRebellion> peppo, there you go.
[11:52] <chrisfromgreece> MSG me please
[11:52] <pogay> there where issus with libcurl :http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net/
[11:52] <TemplePrime> can I create a completly internal domain on ubuntu server like homelan.bla.comp1 or something similar?
[11:52] <DRebellion> TemplePrime, sure
[11:52] <pogay> but libs to me seem to be o.k. in 7.10
[11:53] <hyperair> chrisfromgreece: go search www.openprinting.org
[11:53] <TemplePrime> DRebellion, how would I do it?
[11:53] <DRebellion> TemplePrime, huh?
[11:54] <DRebellion> TemplePrime, oh, right. Set up a DNS server.
[11:54] <DRebellion> TemplePrime, like BIND
[11:54] <TemplePrime> DRebellion, problem is I got a dynamic IP
[11:54] <DRebellion> TemplePrime, you said it was internal
[11:55] <TemplePrime> DRebellion, well, yeah, it is internal, but I want it sometimes to access the net from some network
[11:55] <hyperair> TemplePrime: are we talking domain as in the usual sense, or are we talking windows domains?
[11:55] <TemplePrime> hyperair, well, I would like to enforce a more strict policy on a windows vista by a domain logon ...
[11:55] <nickolaus_> it doesn't seem to be installing.
[11:56] <JoL> how can i see the ports that my app is using?
[11:56] <hyperair> TemplePrime: go read up about samba. it can be done. i'm not sure how
[11:56] <lusule> geirha, i guess you have no clue then :(
[11:56] <sinbox> what would be the path to firefox for a safe mode start  in 7.10?
[11:56] <DRebellion> TemplePrime, oh right. You don't want a domain as in DNS.
[11:56] <mrtimdog> JoL: lsof -p <pid>
[11:56] <geirha> lusule: that sure is odd. Try logging in as root with "sudo -i" and compare the two users environment with this (switch user1 and user2 with correct usernames): diff -u <(sudo -u user1 bash -l -c 'export') <(sudo -u user2 bash -l -c 'export')
[11:58] <nickolaus_> geirha it doesn't seem to be installing.
[11:58] <TemplePrime> DRebellion, yeah :p
[11:58] <nickolaus_> do I have to restart?
[11:58] <TemplePrime> DRebellion, for other type of domain I have dyndns :p
[11:58] <DRebellion> TemplePrime, you should make that more clear when you ask. And why are you asking in #ubuntu about windows "domains"?
[11:59] <geirha> nickolaus_: does it return you to the prompt or is it "hanging"?
[11:59] <TemplePrime> Drebellion, some guy told me it can be done with samba :p
[11:59] <nickolaus_> it returns a prompt.
[12:00] <nickolaus_> geirha it returns a prompt but I'm missing installs.
[12:00] <nickolaus_> geirha do I have to restart?
[12:00] <geirha> nickolaus_: no error messages? restart shouldn't be necessary
[12:00] <nickolaus_> geirha no error, just goes to another command prompt.
[12:01] <nickolaus_> geirha
[12:01] <nickolaus_> geirha sudo dpkg --set-selections < /home/nickolaus/Desktop/my-package
[12:01] <nickolaus_> is what I'm typing.
[12:01] <lusule> geirha, i rebooted and again, and this time it seems to be working...
[12:02] <lusule> geirha, i really wish i knew what was going on, but at least it seems to work now ><
[12:02] <Houli> How do I remove the About Ubuntu program in Xubuntu?
[12:02] <geirha> lusule: you're not out of space btw? "df -h"
[12:02] <lusule> geirha, what does that mean?
[12:02] <sinbox> what would be the path to firefox for a safe mode start  in 7.10?   would it be: ~/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -safe-mode   ??
[12:03] <geirha> nickolaus_: that looks correct. You uninstalled a previously installed package, and expect that command to reinstall it right?
[12:03] <geirha> lusule: you get strange problems if your /home or / filesystems are full
[12:04] <nickolaus_> geirha yes
[12:04] <lusule> geirha, ah no, i have plenty of space
[12:04] <nickolaus_> geirha but I'm missing things like vlc and so on.
[12:04] <mib_fpxuhr> Hi :) Anyone know how I can use konversation(irc client) through my isp, which blocks irc traffic?  Currently I'm using mibbit, it is a web interface to an irc proxy. But, I want the abilities of the konqueror client, just tunneling through an irc proxy, perhaps.  Any suggestions?
[12:05] <DRebellion> mib_fpxuhr, get a new isp.
[12:05] <wols_> you will need a proxy outside the reach of your ISP or use a different port
[12:05] <mib_fpxuhr> dreb - not possible
[12:05] <geirha> nickolaus_: "grep ^vlc ~/Desktop/my-package ; aptitude search '~i ^vlc$'"   << that should show two lines regarding vlc
[12:05] <DRebellion> mib_fpxuhr, why? you shouldn't put up with them screwing you about.
[12:05] <mib_fpxuhr> wols - so, you know of any such service?
[12:06] <wols_> public proxies are useless
[12:06] <mib_fpxuhr> dreb - they are a good deal otherwise, & ther should be a simple solution. Do you have any suggestions about how to accomplish that?
[12:07] <sinbox> mib_fpxuhr, do they block a single port or a range of them?
[12:08] <mib_fpxuhr> sinb - don't know - does it matter for a solution?
[12:08] <sinbox> if they only block the 6667 port most server use other ports too so yes
[12:08] <AdvoWork> how come echo test \n test2 doesnt work, and shows test n test2 rather than test then test2 on another line?
[12:09] <chriswr> help plz , i got a folder on my desktop that has a lock icon on it and i want to delete it but it wont let me , how would i do this?
[12:09] <mib_fpxuhr> sinb - so, I'm interested in freenode, where can I get a list of other ports to try?
[12:10] <geirha> chriswr: gksu nautilus
[12:10] <sinbox> usually in the MOTD mib_fpxuhr
[12:10] <morbyt1> mib_fpxuhr: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml
[12:11] <bazhang> chriswr, careful with that command
[12:11] <morbyt1> mib_fpxuhr: uhh sorry, no ports there... only servers
[12:11] <chriswr> bazhang: k , but it wont show the file that im wanting to delete
[12:12] <nickolaus> okay here is an interesting one. I try to launch firefox via my GUI and it says I have to close firefox. I try and kill it in firefox and it says no process killed then I try and load it via term and it loads. how do I get it to load without using terminal?
[12:12] <gooody> can't update ubuntu hardy. does somebody has similar problem?
[12:12] <chriswr> geirha: why wont it show the file im wanting to delet?
[12:13] <krazihrz> nickolaus: ps -ef | grep mozilla
[12:13] <bazhang> gooody, could you paste sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com
[12:13] <DistroJockey> chriswr, did you try  ctrl+h  as I suggested right after you asked the first time (and before you said you are running Backtrack)
[12:13] <sinbox> nickolaus, what is the path to firefox to launch it in terminal please?
[12:13] <geirha> chriswr: you need to browse to your home directory
[12:14] <gooody> bazhang: for a while
[12:14] <chriswr> DistroJockey: yes (this is on my desktop computer btw , backtrack is on my laptop) but nothing came up
[12:14] <nickolaus> sinbox I just type sudo firefox
[12:14] <chriswr> geirha ill try that
[12:14] <krazihrz> nickolaus: why sudo?
[12:14] <geirha> chriswr: choose filesystem in the left margin, then "home" -> "yourusername" -> "Desktop"
[12:15] <gooody> bazhang: how can i open sources.list?
[12:15] <nickolaus> krazihrz it doesn't load without the sudo. If I try to load without it I get an error saying that firefox is already running and I have to restart.
[12:15] <geirha> sinbox: just type firefox. "which firefox" will show the full path
[12:15] <bazhang> gooody, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste to paste.ubuntu.com (not here)
[12:15] <chriswr> geirha:  allright , that got it , thnx a lot
[12:15] <sinbox> D'oh!         thanks nickolaus
[12:15] <mib_fpxuhr> Any other suggestions for IRC proxy servers that I can access through http ports & will transfer my konqueror irc traffic to correct irc ports?
[12:15] <krazihrz> nickolaus: then you need to find that process and kill it
[12:16] <krazihrz> nickolaus: either that or a lock file somewhere
[12:16] <krazihrz> nickolaus : ps -ef | grep firefox
[12:16] <gordboy> this is a deadly serious question. and i want a definitive answer, in fact i DEMAND one. when are the current maintainers going to be shown the door ? there are plenty of capable people who want to help fix the current disaster area that is hardy. they are being denied access, to protect the reputations of the current "maintainers"
[12:16] <bazhang> gordboy, that is offtopic here
[12:17] <sja> what a make for driver for amd_pata loading before ubuntu lost HDA ?
[12:17] <nickolaus> sinbox what?
[12:17] <gordboy> bazhang: like hell it is. it is the most on-topic question in the whole of *buntu
[12:17] <geirha> nickolaus: that's because the firefox profile is now owned by root, so after running it with sudo once, you can't run it without sudo again
[12:17] <gnomefreak> gordboy: it is and please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:17] <gordboy> gnomefreak: if you can't or won't answer, then keep silent
[12:17] <nickolaus> krazihrz i can't find a firefox running and ps -ef | grep firefox gives me 1000      8506  8043  0 07:16 pts/0    00:00:00 grep firefox
[12:18] <geirha> nickolaus: "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.mozilla" should make it run without sudo again though
[12:19] <gordboy> yeah that's nice and grown up. now answer the question, before you really make idiots of yourselves
[12:19] <nickolaus> geirha thank you! I love you.
[12:19] <bogey-> !offtopic | gordboy
[12:19] <gnomefreak> gordboy: you have been warned now you need to stop and if you want an answer to your questions you join #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:20] <AdvoWork> how come echo test \n test2 doesnt work, and shows test n test2 rather than test then test2 on another line?
[12:20] <geirha> AdvoWork: try with echo -e
[12:20] <gooody> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31695/
[12:21] <geirha> AdvoWork: also, make sure you quote the string: echo -e "line1\nline2"
[12:21] <AdvoWork> geirha echo -e test \n test2 shows: test n test2
[12:21] <AdvoWork> ahh ok, it works now you said that
[12:21] <burhan> AdvoWork: quote the string.
[12:21] <AdvoWork> cheers
[12:21] <DistroJockey> AdvoWork, this does what you want (I think):  echo test ; echo test2
[12:22] <gordboy> gnomefreak: you have exceeded your authority in this channel. not that you ever had any real authority. you are part of the problem, and you have confirmed what a lot of people are now saying about the whole ubuntu project, whose reputation is now disappearing into the gutter
[12:22] <gnomefreak> damnit
[12:22] <krazihrz> nice one
[12:23] <hypn0> does the new firefox update mean the last one was buggy?
[12:23] <gnomefreak> thanks jpds i was there
[12:23] <jpds> gnomefreak: Just helping out. ;-)
[12:23] <gnomefreak> jpds: thanks
[12:23] <burhan> hypn0: probably.
[12:24] <DistroJockey> hypn0, usually security related updates
[12:24] <axel_s> hi, I'm trying to mount a USB disk with VFAT FS but mount tells me "Operation not supported" ... Any ideas what the reason could be? thanks!
[12:24] <gnomefreak> jpds: ok you win
[12:24] <gnomefreak> lol
[12:25] <hypn0> DistroJockey: burhan there wasn't a new release from firefox, just a new ubuntu update it looks like
[12:25] <gooody> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31695/
[12:25] <burhan> hypn0: its a bug fix probably.
[12:26] <geirha> axel_s: are you sure you are accessing the correct device node? double check with the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[12:26] <bazhang> gooody, could you pastebin output of sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade in paste.ubuntu.com please
[12:27] <Jon__> I have a wierd but maybe obvious networking problem if anyone is able to lend an ear?
[12:27] <gordonjcp> !ask | Jon__
[12:28] <Jon__> fairly recently, ping, ssh, rlogin has stopped working to a few machines on the network from my machine only
[12:28] <Jon__> however, the dns name is resolved, traceroute works.....
[12:28] <_dennister> g'morning channel...is anyone using the envy drivers yet for legacy nvidia cards?
[12:28] <Jon__> and other machines see and can login fine
[12:28] <bazhang> _dennister, you mean envyng-gtk?
[12:28] <remoteCTR1> _dennister: i tryed it but it f***ed my system
[12:28] <_dennister> more importantly, how well is it working?
[12:28] <Jon__> btw Im not using any firewalls on my ubuntu box
[12:28] <gnomefreak> !anyone | _dennister
[12:28] <_dennister> bazhang: i guess so
[12:29] <axel_s> geirha, seems all is correct: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7d0913c
[12:29] <gnomefreak> _dennister: just install nvidia-legacy (or what ever the name is)
[12:29] <remoteCTR1> nvidia-glx-new
[12:29] <gnomefreak> remoteCTR1: not for legacy
[12:29] <_dennister> i just tried the proprietary nvdia driver, resolution is only 800x600 and can't go higher...with nv driver it was 1500 x?
[12:30] <remoteCTR1> even better just activate the checkbox in hardware
[12:30] <axel_s> geirha, hmm, I had to specify -t ntfs with mount
[12:30] <axel_s> geirha, strangely it tried to mount as reiser...
[12:30] <remoteCTR1> _dennister: did you download them from the homepage or how did you isntall them?
[12:30] <threedaymonk> I did an update (foolishly following backports) this morning, and I've lost my network devices since restarting! No eth0 or ath0 or wifi0. I've tried a couple of known good kernels, but the same result. Nothing obvious in dmesg that I can see.
[12:30] <gnomefreak> _dennister: you need to run the script to remove the kernel restricted modules the script built
[12:31] <AdvoWork> when running a bash script, can you not verbose whats going on?
[12:31] <gnomefreak> _dennister: i dont remember the flag to do it though
[12:31] <_dennister> i installed it by marking the checkbox...although that didn't work too well, so i changed the xorg.conf file from 'nv' to 'nvidia', rebooted, and it is active
[12:31] <gnomefreak> AdvoWork: -v
[12:31] <sipior> AdvoWork: yes, try the -x switch
[12:31] <bishybashy> ERM
[12:31] <bishybashy> hai guys
[12:32] <Jon__> anyone any ideas on my ping fails but dns lookup works problem?
[12:32] <bishybashy> is there a way to repair a network like in xp for ubuntu?
[12:32] <geirha> axel_s: check if you have an entry with that device node in /etc/fstab
[12:32] <remoteCTR1> _dennister: so nvidia-glx-new only gave you 800x600?
[12:32] <gnomefreak> --verbose is always a failsafe
[12:33] <gnomefreak> remoteCTR1: he cant use those
[12:33] <remoteCTR1> _dennister: how did you try to change the resolution?
[12:33] <remoteCTR1> gnomefreak: why not?
[12:33] <_dennister> remoteCTR1: nvidia-glx-legacy only gave me 800x600
[12:33] <gnomefreak> remoteCTR1: he asked about legacy
[12:33] <axel_s> geirha, nope :-(
[12:33] <_dennister> it's a geforce2 card
[12:34] <gnomefreak> _dennister: what card version
[12:34] <gnomefreak> _dennister: 5200? is one example
[12:34] <gooody> bazhang: sudo apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/31697/
[12:34] <remoteCTR1> ok im confused guys you just said you made the hook in the checkbox?
[12:34] <bishybashy> guys?
[12:34] <gooody> bazhang: sudo apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/31698/
[12:34] <_dennister> gnomefreak: not sure...should have written down the message comes up at boot...it's an old Elsa Gladiac card
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> lo all
[12:34] <bishybashy> i have a wired ethernet connection, the card works but my internet doesn't
[12:34] <geirha> axel_s: hm, sounds like a bug then ... report it at launchpad.net if you have the time
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> sup bishybashy
[12:35] <gnomefreak> _dennister: use pastebin to paste the results of lspci
[12:35] <remoteCTR1> _dennister: gnomefreak ok im out of that conversation :D
[12:35] <bishybashy> on xp i had to right click the connection and go repair and internet worked after that, how would i do that on ubuntu?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> _dennister: than give us the link
[12:35] <_dennister> will do in a sec
[12:35] <_dennister> !pastebin
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[12:36] <remoteCTR1> bishybashy: dhclient eth0
[12:36] <Adondai> why doesnt linux get fragmented?
[12:36] <remoteCTR1> bishybashy: with sudo infront of it
[12:36] <Adondai> *fragmented much*
[12:36] <osfameron> Adondai: have you *seen* how many distros there are... oh you didn't mean *that* sort of fragementation? ;-P
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Adondai: the access to the files is fragmented so its not noticed
[12:37] <_dennister> http://paste.ubuntu.com/31700/
[12:37] <DistroJockey> !defrag | Adondai
[12:37] <bishybashy> hmm
[12:37] <bishybashy> who to listen to lol?
[12:37] <DistroJockey> Adondai, ohh, site is down :(
[12:37] <bishybashy> dhclient eth0 or sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[12:37] <bishybashy> :O
[12:38] <deanm> Adondai:because it's not windoze :) really it's something to do with the way a unix/linux ftle system works
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> Adondai: windows writes vey poorly to the drive so fragmentation occurs, plus idiots dont make a seperate partition for temp and pagefile which makes it so much worse
[12:38] <remoteCTR1> bishybashy: both ways accomplish the sam so just pick one of them
[12:38] <bishybashy> lol k
[12:38] <bishybashy> brb
[12:38] <_dennister> gnomefreak: my paste link is above^^^
[12:39] <gooody> can't update ubuntu hardy. here's the sudo apt-get update result,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/31697/
[12:39] <AlmightyCthulhu> does anyone in here speak Chinese?
[12:40] <Pici> !zh | AlmightyCthulhu
[12:40] <gnomefreak> thanks _dennister i will look when i get a minute im dealing with someone that can follow rules
[12:40] <AdvoWork> hmm, if im normally doing: vim 1st.txt then :%s/''/null/g then :%s/,null'/,'/g for say 10 files. Is there an easier way than that without opening the original file in the first place
[12:40] <_dennister> ok
[12:40] <AlmightyCthulhu> I need someone that knows both Chinese and English, to help me translate something
[12:40] <AlmightyCthulhu> if they could do a favor
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> gooody: the medibunt repo is dead
[12:40] <_dennister> although so can i ...follow rules that is :-)
[12:40] <krazihrz> is this #regularexpression or #ubuntu?
[12:41] <bsusa> hello all i would just like to know how i can save the settings on my nvidia settings in ubuntu for my video output when i adjust the screen and stretch it to tv specs?
[12:41] <DistroJockey> krazihrz, type  /topic
[12:41] <gooody> ActionParsnip: thanks for the help. sad to know that.
[12:41] <_dennister> be right back...stepping outside for 5 to have a cancer stick
[12:42] <krazihrz> DistroJockey: way to kill the sarcasm
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> !medibuntu | gooody
[12:42] <sipior> AdvoWork: yes, have a look at sed. "man sed"
[12:42] <lusule> hi again :)  how do i open the printer options through the terminal?
[12:42] <DistroJockey> krazihrz, sarcasm rarely works in text very well ;P
[12:44] <DistroJockey> krazihrz, especially if you don't direct your reply
[12:44] <AdvoWork> sipior so i can do: sed -f 1st.txt  yet i dont know the regular expression for it, as normally i use vims :%s/''/null/g
[12:44] <krazihrz> DistroJockey: I didn't want to make anyone feel bad, i'm the subtle warrior
[12:45] <sipior> AdvoWork: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < filename   should do it, i believe
[12:45] <Jon__> ok, so I have a networking problem with my ubuntu box, fairly recently I have not been able to ping, rlogin, ssh or in any way connect to a few select machines on our LAN with the rest working fine, but a traceroute runs and the dns name is resolved fine.  on these machines nslookup reports a 'non authoritative' answer but this is also reported on other machines I can connect to fine so probably doesn't mean much.  no firewalls running .....any thoug
[12:45] <Jon__> hts?
[12:45] <junglecrazd1> howdy all
[12:45] <junglecrazd1> i am on gnome here, and using amarok, but can it rip a cd?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Jon__: try rebooting your router and then all your pc's
[12:46] <StaticX> hello
[12:46] <StaticX> can i ask something
[12:46] <StaticX> ?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Jon__: if its practical
[12:46] <sipior> Jon__: a traceroute runs, but a ping doesn't work? that sounds inconsistent...
[12:46] <DistroJockey> !ask | StaticX
[12:46] <Jon__> well its the work network and other machines on the network have no problems, my machine has been rebooted lots since this has been happenning
[12:47] <StaticX> ok..
[12:47] <StaticX> sudo update-rc.d modem-startup default - how can i do this in ubuntu 8.04 ?
[12:47] <gnomefreak> _dennister: i think that is legacy but not really sure on the gts/pro
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> Jon__: did you reboot the interconnection devices? It may help
[12:47] <sipior> Jon__: also, are you sure the target machines are running sshd? do you get a "connection refused" error?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> Jon__: resets all routing tables etc
[12:48] <lusule> can anyone help me figuring out if/how to setup my printer?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> !printer | lusule
[12:48] <DistroJockey> StaticX, I assume you want the modem to connect somewhere on startup?
[12:48] <lusule> ActionParsnip, thanks
[12:48] <cchance> Anyone know why im getting litle clicks out of my laptop speakers when playing music? or for that matter anything?
[12:48] <AdvoWork> sipior i dont think that did anything, well it didnt seem to replace '' with null :/
[12:49] <Jon__> I have tried completely resetting iptables, ufw is turned off, and the machine goes through the same route other machines do that have no problems.  I think it must have come in after an update as it was working problem free previously...
[12:49] <axel_s> about samba: my windows machine asks for a password when connecting to my linux/samba machine... but my username and password of the linux machine don't work
[12:49] <lordchavez> hi all
[12:49] <cchance> are my laptop speakers broken?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> Jon__: id reboot whatever is in the middle controlling the routing
[12:49] <lordchavez> is some1 experienced in KDE4 ?
[12:49] <sipior> AdvoWork: works on my system just fine. it dumped a fair bit to the terminal, did it not?
[12:49] <lordchavez> plz qry me
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> cchance: does it click when you turn the volume down in software.
[12:50] <cchance> no if its muted it wont play at all
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> lordchavez: wassup?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> cchance: not muted, just lower it
[12:50] <_dennister> gnomefreak: so it's the fault of checking the box on the hardware driver's dialog...it said legacy, but perhaps it should be the newer one, non-legacy? or it just doesn't know this card well enough?
[12:50] <cchance> or i mean if its on last audio level it wont do it
[12:51] <cchance> i got it on the third one and i hear it
[12:51] <axel_s> in preferences there used to be a tool call "sharing" where i could configure samba service...
[12:51] <gnomefreak> _dennister: no its the drivers you got from nvidia you need to find out the command from the run script you downloaded from nvidia to get rid of the modules it built
[12:51] <Jon__> well the connection goes through a pretty standard 48 port switch which we have loads of in the company, rebooting it isnt really an option as there are tons of other machines on it.  Id dont understand why it is so specific to just a few machines on the network?
[12:52] <AdvoWork> sipior dumped some stuff to the terminal, but original line is: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2);  after i run that command, it shows: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2); still and hasnt replaced ''
[12:52] <_dennister> I've had this same problem, not getting high enough resolutions, with other pc's I've rebuilt....resulting in 'nv' driver workiing better than proprietary
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> cchance: sounds like your volumes are too high
[12:52] <cchance> ActionParsnip: im playing music with amarok right now and that al i hear. My system startup sound is gone as well
[12:52] <lordchavez> ActionParsnip: i want to have the widgets only in the dashboard not on screen all the time
[12:52] <cchance> ActionParsnip: doubt it
[12:52] <cchance> ActionParsnip: it used to play before now i dont know whats going on
[12:52] <sipior> AdvoWork: could you type the line exactly as you typed it at the terminal?
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> !kde4 | lordchavez
[12:52] <Jon__> but overall, that would mean rebooting the master bigiron switch that controls the entire production network..dont think they would be happy if I rebooted that  :)
[12:53] <lordchavez> ActionParsnip:  kde yeah?!
[12:53] <lordchavez> ActionParsnip:  kde 4yeah?!
[12:53] <_dennister> gnomefreak: so how do I "find out the command from the run script you downloaded from nvidia to get rid of the modules it built"
[12:53] <lusule> according to the walkthrough on printing you linked, i should be able to choose 'wireless setup wizard' from the printer setup menu - i don't seem to have this option :(
[12:53] <axel_s> sorry, but my connection broke.. anyone replied to my samba questions?
[12:53] <lordchavez> dont need the packages
[12:53] <AdvoWork> sipior yeah its: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < /var/dir/temp/testreplace/1.txt
[12:53] <Jon__> so nothing obvious comes to mind?  im pretty confident its not an infrastructure thing, I think its something to do with my ubuntu box
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> lordchavez: yeah for kde4
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> cchance: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770213
[12:54] <cchance> ok
[12:54] <lordchavez> ActionParsnip: what do u want to tell me?
[12:55] <sipior> AdvoWork: and that didn't put the corrected version on the terminal? mind, that won't change the file itself, you'll want to save the results via redirection.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> lordchavez: you need to go into kubuntu-kde4
[12:55] <sipior> AdvoWork: actually, could you just pastebin the whole terminal session? that would simpler, i think.
[12:55] <cyphase> anyone have any ideas for what to do with a process that refuses to die?
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> lordchavez: this is ubuntu not kubuntu-kde4
[12:55] <Gillpy_> cyphase: kill it's parent
[12:55] <lordchavez> i got ubuntu installed
[12:56] <lordchavez> omg cya
[12:56] <cyphase> Gillpy_: no parent
[12:56] <Gillpy_> *its
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> cyphase: kill -9 <PID>
[12:56] <bishybashy> hem
[12:56] <bishybashy> :/
[12:56] <AdvoWork> sipior it did: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < /var/dir/temp/testreplace/1.txt dumped: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2);
[12:56] <cyphase> ActionParsnip: tried that
[12:56] <bishybashy> i did sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[12:56] <Gillpy_> cyphase: is it a zombie
[12:56] <bishybashy> starts a whole lotta stuff but says network down
[12:56] <bishybashy> O.o
[12:56] <sipior> AdvoWork: could you pastebin the contents of the file, and the terminal session?
[12:56] <cyphase> Gillpy_: it's taking up a lot of processing power
[12:57] <cyphase> Gillpy_: or else i wouldn't care
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: check your network config
[12:57] <bishybashy> i made it automatic
[12:57] <cchance> ActionParsnip: i oubt its anything to do with the cpu or any of that because it was woring just fine last week
[12:57] <DistroJockey> cyphase, tried the following:  sudo killall program-name
[12:57] <AdvoWork> sipior think its ok, for some reason the '' werent copying properly, but now, it outputs fine, but doesnt save the contents? can i save it back in the same file?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: check connections
[12:57] <cyphase> DistroJockey: tried that
[12:57] <bishybashy> where/how ?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: ifconfig or iwconfig if its wireless
[12:58] <_dennister> i hate this xorg in hardy :(
[12:58] <DistroJockey> cyphase, what process is it?
[12:58] <bishybashy> wired
[12:58] <sipior> AdvoWork: no, save to a new file, then move it to where you want. so: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < input > ouput
[12:58] <bishybashy> i have done that
[12:58] <Gillpy_> cyphase: you can't kill zombies unless you kill their parent or reboot.  It will have a Z next to it in top()   if it is a zombie
[12:58] <ugnis> hello
[12:58] <bishybashy> do you want the output?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: please
[12:58] <cyphase> DistroJockey: totem
[12:58] <AdvoWork> sipior is there any reason why i cant use the same file though?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> _dennister: its the same in all Linuxes
[12:58] <sipior> AdvoWork: try it. make sure you have it backed up.
[12:59] <axel_s> hi all, does anyone know what happened to the file sharing configuration tool?
[12:59] <bishybashy> link to paste bin?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> !samba | axel_s
[12:59] <bishybashy> !pastebin
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> !paste | bishybashy
[12:59] <axel_s> ActionParsnip, thanks
[12:59] <DistroJockey> cyphase, can only guess that Firefox is possibly the parent
[13:00] <cchance> ActionParsnip: got anything else?
[13:00] <_dennister> great...with older xorg i could add more resolutions i knew the card was capable of...a cursory look at xorg.conf now doesn't seem to give this option
[13:00] <cyphase> DistroJockey: nope
[13:00] <bishybashy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/31703/
[13:00] <cyphase> DistroJockey: init is the parent :)
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> cchance: reinstall driver for sound maybe
[13:00] <_dennister> so i've had one bad review of envy driver...anyone had any success with it?
[13:00] <cchance> ActionParsnip: ive never had to install a drier for the sound
[13:00] <cchance> driver*
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: can I see your /etc/network/interfaces
[13:01] <bishybashy> lol
[13:02] <bishybashy> i am going to have to restart again:/
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> shouldnt do. I just wanna see your config
[13:02] <bishybashy> well i am on xp now
[13:02] <bishybashy> :C
[13:02] <AdvoWork> sipior i dunno if you can, sed -e "s/''/null/g" < /var/www/temp/testreplace/1.txt > 1.txt makes the output file totally blank :/
[13:03] <sipior> AdvoWork: are you currently *in* the /var/www/temp/testreplace directory?
[13:03] <sipior> AdvoWork: i.e. did you just overwrite your input file?
[13:04] <Terminator> hello
[13:04] <Terminator> some1 else is having a problem with ubuntu
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: if you rename the file with sudo mv then reboot it should make a new one
[13:04] <bishybashy> ?
[13:04] <burhan> !fixres | _dennister
[13:04] <bishybashy> which file should i be renaming?
[13:04] <Terminator> I set in menu.lst the default to "saved" so that it automatically starts windows at startup and not ubuntu
[13:04] <Terminator> now he updated
[13:05] <Terminator> and it auto-starts memtest..
[13:05] <Terminator> any ideas
[13:05] <Terminator> ??
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: /etc/network/interfaces
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: rename it something so it still exists but wont be used as its the wrong name :)
[13:06] <_dennister> burhan: thanks
[13:06] <bishybashy> what'll this do?
[13:06] <DJones> Terminator: You need to edit your menu.lst and change the number of the entry to start, if the kernel has been updated, there'll be a new entry at the top which means that windows will have moved one place further down
[13:06] <bishybashy> sorry if i sound rude lol
[13:06] <cyphase> DistroJockey: i guess i'll just restart. i was trying to fix the problem without restarting, especially since my computer's been on ~21.5 days. but i have a few updates i need to restart for anyway, and there's a hard drive i need to take out out, so..
[13:06] <AdvoWork> sipior not in the directory, i do:  sed -e "s/''/null/g" < /var/www/intranet/temp/testreplace/1.txt > 1.txt  and it now does nothing, doesnt overwrite the file, but doesnt change it either
[13:06] <cyphase> take out,*
[13:07] <sipior> AdvoWork: do you have write permission in the current directory?
[13:07] <DistroJockey> cyphase, yeah, sounds like the best option :)
[13:07] <AdvoWork> sipior yeah, i chmod 777 the file just incase
[13:07] <mar77i> hi, what exactly does the 0x80 in "root (0x80,0)" mean?
[13:07] <gnomefreak> _dennister: if it doesnt have a readme file or a help flag than someone in here might know or you can go to nvidia.com and look for it
[13:07] <Terminator> Well DJones I didnt set a number, but I set the default to "saved" and windows xp is the savededault I think..
[13:08] <sipior> AdvoWork: not the file. the current working directory. did your command produce a new file, called 1.txt, in the current directory?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: your system will see the file missing and make a default one, then you can config from there
[13:08] <AdvoWork> sipior doh! yeah, of course, i shouldave specified the full path, i was checking the original directory
[13:08] <bishybashy> action: i haven't changed anything in the original file
[13:08] <bishybashy> :/
[13:09] <DJones> Terminator: It might just be that the numbers/positions have changed after an update and the saved position hasn't been updated and will manually need changing
[13:09] <_dennister> ok, gonna have to restart x...cya later
[13:09]  * mrHiggins is having sound card driver issues :(
[13:09] <AdvoWork> sipior so now ive specified the full path, it totally empties the output file
[13:09] <cchance> .me and mrHiggins are in the same boat
[13:09] <sipior> AdvoWork: right, because the output file is now the same as the input file. do yourself a favour, and give the output a slightly different name as the input...
[13:10] <mrHiggins> what card(s), cchance?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: is it wired or wireless?
[13:10] <AdvoWork> sipior yea, could do, its just that other scripts rely on that name so i'd have to output to a different directory, then rename
[13:10] <cchance> mrHiggins, realtek High Deffinition
[13:10] <cchance> Ac98 or something like that
[13:10] <sipior> AdvoWork: that's easy enough.
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> cchance: use lspci
[13:11] <mrHiggins> ac97/xfi
[13:11] <XGas> High Definition*
[13:11] <DistroJockey> mar77i, you have a Solid State Drive?
[13:11] <Terminator> DJones, can I post it in a pastebin, so you could take a look?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Terminator: you dont have to ask to use pastebin
[13:11] <mrHiggins> did you check into oss yet?
[13:11] <AdvoWork> sipior works fine if i specify diff directory :0
[13:11] <AdvoWork> :) even
[13:11] <Terminator> well, the question was more if he would look
[13:11] <Terminator> ;)
[13:11] <bishybashy> action
[13:11] <mrHiggins> i'm not sure if it will work for your card but it's worth a read....
[13:12] <mar77i> DistroJockey, might be the case. does hd1 work in another entry though?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: try pressing tab to autocomplete my nick
[13:12] <DJones> Terminator: I'm just about to go away from the computer for 15 minutes, put it in pastebin though, i'm sure somebody will be able to help, if not, I'll have a look in a bit
[13:12] <w0jrl> hello all
[13:12] <AdvoWork> sipior so im assuming: sed -e "s/,null'/,'/g" is also valid?
[13:12] <DistroJockey> mar77i, this is what made me ask:  http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=312492
[13:12] <bishybashy> ActionParsnip: is there a point in renaming if i haven't modified original file?
[13:12] <cchance> ActionPasnip, it doesnt display my card for an odd reason
[13:12] <DistroJockey> mar77i, apart from that, no idea sorry
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: no, no need now
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: just make sure you have the lines
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: auto eth0
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: if its for eth0
[13:13] <sipior> AdvoWork: yes, but that will look for a different pattern than before.
[13:13] <cchance> mrHiggins, thats the only one that i get sound from in the sound properties
[13:13] <bishybashy> ActionParsnip: where i put those? /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:14] <mrHiggins> cchance:  i havent even had that much luck
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: indeed, you'll need gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[13:14] <matholio> hey all, I just installed ubuntu, on a second drive, dual booting with vista/xp on drive 1.  after an easy install, and a reboot, it does not boot to grub.  and I can't boot to drive 2.  any ideas ?
[13:14] <AdvoWork> sipior yeah thats right then, ok 2 more brief questions, if it finds no matches, it wont error will it, and lastly, can i do both of those sed -e "s/,null'/,'/g" and sed -e "s/''/null/g" at the same time?
[13:15] <bishybashy> ActionParsnip: Sorry I am lost? Bare in mind I am new to all this
[13:15] <divisionpoint> Good morning folks.  I've got a client with a ThinkPad T21 with Hardy installed.  Worked fine when I sent it out to him (he's in Los Angeles, I'm in Washington DC area).  Worked fine there as well, until I was trying to remote VNC into the machine.  vncviewer gave me a tiny bit of the top bar of one program, then it made his screen go crazy (sounds like Xorg problem) and now when he tries to login, he gets a black screen with
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: you'll need the gksu gedit command to open the file as root, then type the 2 lines in
[13:16] <sipior> AdvoWork: no, no error. you can concatenate patterns by specifying multiple -e stanzas: sed -e "s/null/g" -e "s/\"/null/g"
[13:16] <bishybashy> where i get that?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: get what?
[13:17] <bishybashy> that gksu gedit comand
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: you need to run terminal and type it
[13:18] <bishybashy> ActionParsnip: So one last time, boot ubuntu, open terminal type gksu gedit? then what 2 commands
[13:19] <cchance> how do i force my system down? I just told it to reboot 3 minutes ago and im still here
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: after gedit runs, open /etc/network/interfaces and add those 2 lines
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: then save and exit
[13:19] <wols_> ccooke: sudo shutdown -t now
[13:19] <seanh> Can anyone advise me on how to install a hardware accelerated graphics driver for intel? My graphics card is (according to lshw): Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[13:19] <TiredWolf> wols_: i suspect it eventually rebooted spontaneously.
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> back in terminal run sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> seanh: have you webseached any?
[13:20] <wols_> seanh: ubuntu comes with all needeed drivers by default
[13:20] <AdvoWork> sipior and how does it handle multiple ones, do all of the first, and then the 2nd? or 1 then 2 then 1 then 2?
[13:21] <bishybashy> lol what 2 lines to add
[13:21] <bishybashy> XD
[13:21] <seanh> ActionParsnip, yeah, but I find different advice for different intel cards, am not sure where exactly to look
[13:21] <dethray> Having some problems with window decorations disappearing in beryl...
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: scroll up
[13:21] <sipior> AdvoWork: they are done simultaneously, not consecutively.
[13:21] <wols_> seanh: nowhere. you already have all the drives
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: i told you earlier
[13:21] <wols_> *drivers
[13:21] <bishybashy> auto eth0
[13:21] <bishybashy> [16:12] <ActionParsnip> iface eth0 inet dhcp

[13:21] <seanh> wols_ the hardware accelerated driver is not enabled though
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> bishybashy: thats it

[13:30] <DJones> Terminator: As DistroJockey just suggested, I'd change to 6 or maybe 7
[13:30] <x3> Im connected to remote machine but i cant et a file over to my desktop
[13:30] <bishybashy> sigh
[13:31] <bishybashy> this is frustrating
[13:31] <bishybashy> my internet still isn't working :o
[13:31] <xnv> Clearly
[13:31] <seanh> wols_ it seems the be using the mesa driver instead of the intel one, but what is the correct way to change the driver?
[13:31]  * x3 agrees with bishybashy
[13:31] <DistroJockey> DJones, yeah, not sure if that title for Other OS's is counted :)
[13:31] <bishybashy> on ubuntu boot
[13:31] <bishybashy> i'm on xp boot now
[13:31] <bishybashy> :/
[13:32] <x3> is there a way to do file tranfer via RDP in ubuntu or not
[13:32] <raven79> how can i check a package installation (if it's already installed or not)? is there a prompt command?
[13:32] <TiredWolf> raven79: apt-cache policy packagename
[13:32] <DJones> DistroJockey: i wasn't sure whether that affected it as well, I've got a feeling it does in which case it would be 7, if not, 6 should work for him
[13:32] <bishybashy> so
[13:33] <bishybashy> is there a way to fix my internet?
[13:33] <DistroJockey> DJones, aye, same as my thinking
[13:33] <x3> bishybashy
[13:33] <bishybashy> ?
[13:33] <x3> so u boot into linu and your connection is lost to internet
[13:34] <bishybashy> well when i boot with xp i have to repair the network connection for network/internet to work properly
[13:34] <bishybashy> and with ubuntu i dunno how to do this
[13:34] <bishybashy> :O
[13:34] <x3> you using routre
[13:34] <x3> router
[13:34] <bishybashy> ya wired
[13:34] <x3> no router?
[13:35] <bishybashy> no i am using router
[13:35] <DistroJockey> bishybashy, you said you need to repair it in Windows, so I'm guessing you have a slow DHCP server. Maybe the following?   sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0
[13:35] <x3> you using Internet connections sharing or what
[13:35] <x3> so your router is set ton DHCP?
[13:35] <bishybashy> its automatic dhcp
[13:36] <bishybashy> o.O
[13:36] <x3> and theres no router firewall rules that could be causing this?
[13:36] <bishybashy> well why would they if it works on xp
[13:36] <bishybashy> :/
[13:36] <bishybashy> i have no strange rules in place:/
[13:36] <dusty_> Hey guys I have dual monitors setup using an ATI radeon hd card the only thing is I cannot drag applications from one monitor to the next, the mouse moves across them freely just not the applications, how do I make that happen ? I've tried: aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse --overlay-on=1 but no avail, any ideas ?
[13:36] <x3> xp is one beast linux another
[13:37] <x3> linux set the NIC to roamin
[13:37] <bishybashy> i made it non-roamin
[13:37] <x3> you can bypass that
[13:38] <x3> and it accepts the correct IP same as you would get on xp?
[13:38] <bishybashy> huh u mean my ipconfig on xp?
[13:38] <x3> and so on with subnetmask and dnd
[13:38] <x3> I mean your router assigns a IP to xp
[13:39] <x3> if on linux is your on same machine you shoukld get same UIP
[13:39] <bishybashy> they are on the same machine
[13:39] <bishybashy> :0
[13:39] <x3> and your getting same IP
[13:40] <x3> on both xpp and linux??
[13:40] <bishybashy> err
[13:40] <bishybashy> which ip?
[13:40] <x3> is there a way to do file tranfer via RDP in ubuntu or not someone please know the answer
[13:40] <x3> ip
[13:40] <hyperair> bishybashy: what's this about
[13:40] <x3> e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:41] <hyperair> x3: no here isn't. since when was there file transfer via rdp?
[13:41] <bishybashy> how i see my linux one?
[13:41] <hyperair> ifconfig
[13:41] <flourish> howto find the busid of my device
[13:41] <bishybashy> okay well i got this
[13:41] <levent> hello
[13:41] <hyperair> bishybashy: don't paste it here, pastebin it
[13:41] <hyperair> wait
[13:41] <bishybashy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/31717/
[13:41] <bishybashy> i know
[13:41] <bishybashy> -.-
[13:41] <x3> since many remote toopls support file transfer
[13:41] <DistroJockey> flourish, what sort of device?
[13:42] <flourish> my video card
[13:42] <hyperair> x3: rdp is purely for remote desktop
[13:42] <hyperair> x3: no file transfer
[13:42] <DistroJockey> flourish, lspci  is a good start
[13:42] <x3> is there a tool then that would support both in ubunto
[13:42] <hyperair> bishybashy: is that the only output you get?
[13:42] <flourish> i want to do some configure so that i can connect to svideo
[13:42] <bishybashy> yes, would ifconfig -a but any better?
[13:42] <hyperair> no.
[13:42] <raven79> i would like to mount a device (external disk) with ntfs-3g so i added to my fstab: "UUID=72F83407F833C85D /media/usb ntfs-3g         rw,user,auto,nls=utf8 0 0" but now i get an error because it's a privileged operation and common user cannot mount it. How can i solve?
