[18:58] <shaver> I'm trying to swapon by label in gutsy, and it's not working; /dev/disk/by-label doesn't exist, but I'm not sure how to debug it further
[18:59] <nickrud> dka7414: basically reformat it as an ext3 , that will erase all of suse and prep it for use
[18:59] <Blaise> display: :0.0  screen: 0
[18:59] <Blaise> OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
[18:59] <Blaise> OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1950 Series
[18:59] <Blaise> OpenGL version string: 2.1.7276 Release
[18:59] <Blaise> That's right?
[18:59] <nickrud> dka7414: when you reformat it, the UUID will change, and you will also have to update /etc/fstab to the new value
[18:59] <Assid> fglrxinfo comes with what package
[18:59] <nickrud> Blaise: yes
[19:00] <chimp> same problem Assid, when i run it, it just gives me the help file of how to run gksu
[19:00] <chimp> but if i use sudo, it will execute
[19:00] <Blaise> *phew*
[19:00] <dka7414> NICKRUD-ok, but i would like to erase the opensuse partition then use the free space to add equally to the other 2 os's
[19:00] <Gecko> Hey there. One quick question: How do I find the UUID I need to set in /etc/fstab for linux to mount my lvm-based partition?
[19:00] <Assid> chimp: gksu -u root /sbin/blah
[19:00] <miranda> Having trouble getting a clone of my  desktop on a secondary diisplay (two video caard setup) Do i need xinerama running to get clone desktop enabled?Having trouble getting a clone of my  desktop on a secondary diisplay (two video caard setup) Do i need xinerama running to get clone desktop enabled?
[19:00] <jimmygoon> are the ubuntu repos fixed yet?
[19:00] <chimp> k
[19:00] <dka7414> NICKRUD-so basically i will open gparted then unmount the suse partition then what
[19:00] <jimmygoon> like is it safe to update xserver xorg update manager, etc
[19:01] <Plenox9> Okay, my issue is with sound. (USB Headset). It worked fine before the upgrade (that is, fine in 6.10) but now it doesn't work at all.
[19:01] <shaver> Gecko: dumpe2fs /dev/mapper/<whatever> | grep label
[19:01] <nickrud> Blaise:   gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and compare it to the stuff on the wiki under 'the manual way' make sure that stuff is there
[19:01] <Plenox9> If I open sound preferences and test it, I can hear it.
[19:01] <Plenox9> But no where else.
[19:01] <shaver> Gecko: but I think the kernel should be able to detect it correctly
[19:01] <Filled-Void> There was somethign wrong with Ubuntu repos?
[19:01] <xiven> jimmygeon> It's not my DNS I just tried open dns servers and still no luck
[19:01] <miranda> Whoops. Accidentally pasted twice. sorry.
[19:01] <Gecko> shaver: it's a jfs file system...
[19:01] <shaver> Gecko: not sure then, sorry
[19:01] <nickrud> dka7414: adding it equally to the two other os's will depend on your layout, you probably can't just do it.
[19:01] <shaver> I'm having trouble with labels right now myself
[19:02] <Gecko> I see. Well, I hope I can just specify the path to the volume then
[19:02] <nickrud> dka7414: I'm really conservative about my computers, I don't generally resize and move them. I like my data
[19:02] <dka7414> NICKRUD-right
[19:02] <xiven> Does Ubuntu have any known issues with Realtek RTL8139/x810 NIC's?
[19:02] <dka7414> NICKRUD-resising is an easy way to lose data huh
[19:02] <Cpudan80> miranda: Xinerma makes one display across several monitors --- is that what you want?
[19:03] <justin_> when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong
[19:03] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> when I access my IP via browser I do enter at the modem's frontend... does anyone know how to fall into my apache??
[19:03] <nickrud> dka7414: yes, I did that once (but I had a backup) so I don't do it anymore. I backup, move/change partitions, then put the data back
[19:03] <Cpudan80> miranda: Sounds like you want the thing that is displayed on monitor A to == the thing on monitor B
[19:03] <Filled-Void> xiven, Cant connect to your network?
[19:03] <justin_> when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong
[19:03] <xiven> nope
[19:03] <Plenox9> Hmm, anyone?
[19:03] <jln> Hello all, I'm having trouble with suspend on my gutsy installation. It's a desktop ASUS p5k se board, when hitting suspend, the computer just locks.. Where to start debugging?
[19:03] <xiven> I can get an IP..but thats where it ends
[19:03] <dka7414> NICKRUD-ok then could i unmoount the suse partition then erase so i will have free space for a new os maybe?
[19:04] <Filled-Void> xiven, Are we talking about accessing the internet?
[19:04] <justin_> when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong
[19:04] <nickrud> dka7414: yes, exactly. Or you could simply mount it as /data (or some other place) and use it for shared data between os's. It's free for any use
[19:04] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: http://localhost/
[19:04] <xiven> yeah
[19:04] <dka7414> NICKRUD-cool thanx
[19:04] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> Cpudan80: nono... i want it by the outside
[19:05] <miranda> Cpudan80: That is correct. II ask only because when I configured cloneing, kubuntu ha this on. I tried setting it up manually,loading 2 cards, monitors and screens in my xorg file, but the secondary display simply does not work.
[19:05] <Filled-Void> xiven, Can you open this http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[19:05] <mbh00020> I'm extremely new to ubuntu, any clue how to change rights of /var/www?
[19:05] <xiven> I get no DHCP offers, but my router allows both this machine, and my fiance's machine online just fine,,plus the windows install that is on the troubled machine
[19:05] <luis> hello all!
[19:05] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: you need to move your modem's frontend off port 80, or reset your apache to use some other port (ie. 8080)
[19:05] <xiven> yeah it brought up google
[19:05] <Filled-Void> DNS
[19:05] <xiven> hmm
[19:06] <Cpudan80> miranda: ehhhh dunno
[19:06] <dka7414> NICKRUD-also when i install os's i usually just make a / partition and a swap partition. Is this ok or should i definately make a /home partition. what is the difference between /home and just / will i be ok with just a / partition
[19:06] <luis> The other day I managed to create 4 desks and have them be on a cube, IDK how I did it, but I did, and now I can't do the same, any clues as to how to do this?
[19:06] <miranda> mbh00020: go to a terminal and type chmod --help
[19:06] <Filled-Void> OpenDNS Shoulve solve your problems then. One of the server numbers is <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:06] <xiven> Yeah I already tried it though
[19:06] <xiven> and it wasnt working
[19:06] <luis> sorry, not desks, I meant workspaces
[19:06] <mbh00020> thanks miranda
[19:06] <xiven> do I need to totally restart my computer?
[19:06] <Filled-Void> xiven, :( Through neotwork manager?
[19:06] <Filled-Void> xiven, nope shouldnt have to
[19:07] <Owleto> the flash installer reports "remove the xpti.dat from the components directory of the Mozilla"... what about this?
[19:07] <nickrud> dka7414: I keep /home on a separate partition for several reasons: I can reinstall without losing the data in my home, I use it in different os's, I can use disk level backups. Many good reasons to have it
[19:07] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: Change the apache configuration file to add port 8080, the do http://....:8080 to hit it
[19:07] <luis> The other day I managed to create 4 workspaces and have them be on a cube, IDK how I did it, but I did, and now I can't do the same, any clues as to how to do this?
[19:07] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> Cpudan80: ohhh... ok! ill try it! tnx! ;D
[19:07] <KrisWood> does ubuntu have a resume installation feature? :-/
[19:08] <KrisWood> I got impatient and rebooted my machine during install and it didn't pick up where it left off like I'd hoped it would
[19:08] <nickrud> KrisWood: nope
[19:08] <Filled-Void> KrisWood, no
[19:08] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> Cpudan80: just another question... =x I installed apache via apt.. where is the httpd.conf? =x
[19:08] <KrisWood> doh >.<
[19:08] <Filled-Void> :(
[19:08] <xiven> ok i changed dns in the network manager, do i need to restart the network?
[19:08] <KrisWood> I guess I needed to let it sit longer :(
[19:08] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: lemme find out - hang on
[19:08] <nickrud> Mew[vendo_jogo]: it is dynamically created from files in /etc/apache2
[19:08] <KrisWood> I did take this opportunity to check my CD and it went through the check just fine
[19:09] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> nickrud: tnxx
[19:09] <xiven> gah
[19:09] <xiven> I'mstill getting host unreachable, after changing DNS, and then pinging the DNS server
[19:09] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: it's /etc/apache2/ports.conf -- add "Listen 8080"
[19:09] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> nickrud: may i edit it?
[19:09] <Filled-Void> luis, Do you have the compizsetting -manager installed?
[19:09] <Filled-Void> luis, ccsm
[19:09] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> Cpudan80: ok! ill try it
[19:10] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[19:10] <KrisWood> Alright, just gonna go afk a while and let it do its thing, bbl!
[19:10] <luis> Umm, I don't think so
[19:10] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> and then at no-ip i put IP:8080 ?
[19:10] <nickrud> Mew[vendo_jogo]: no.
[19:10] <luis> but I managed to do it last time, I set the "workspaces on a cube" thing in desktop effects, but it doesn't happen anymore :(
[19:10] <Filled-Void> luis, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:11] <luis> it says it's done
[19:11] <luis> but it also gave me this message "Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:11] <luis> "
[19:11] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> Cpudan80: ok! eddited.. whats the command to restart apache? =x
[19:11] <nickrud> Mew[vendo_jogo]: you should look around the conf dir, and use a2enmod a2dismod  a2ensite a2dissite to work with stuff in mods-available and sites-available, and make changes in apache2.conf and ports.conf
[19:11] <Owleto> someone knows if the file "xpti.dat" must be deleted while installing flash manually?
[19:12] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> nickrud: hmmm
[19:12] <nickrud> Mew[vendo_jogo]: once you're used to it, its much easier to work with snippets of the http.conf rather than the whole thing
[19:12] <Filled-Void> luis, Do you have the option System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Settings
[19:13] <jv_> plz....
[19:13] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: uhhhhhhh
[19:13] <jv_> need to know what my dev is for sd card
[19:13] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: restart apache2 I think
[19:13] <luis> I do not have "advanced desktop settings"
[19:13] <jv_> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23554.html didn't work
[19:13] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> hmm
[19:13] <nickrud> Mew[vendo_jogo]: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart
[19:13] <xiven> how can it be DNS when this ubuntu box gets access just fine using the same DNS the other one is suposed to be on?
[19:14] <Aicryac> hey you guys, i have ubuntu 7.10 running and of course it is on apache 2.2.4 right now, i saw apache 2.2.8 came out not to long ago and want to give it a shot but couldn't find config.nice file to play with, can anyone help me out on that? :)
[19:14] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> i remembered!
[19:14] <kristjan_> I need something that will cut 70MB .mov file into 15MB sized parts, any suggestions?
[19:14] <nickrud> Mew[vendo_jogo]: I'm good with the structure, Cpudan80 obviously knows more about apache than I do :)
[19:14] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[19:14] <jv_> kristianholm, par or somethin glike that
[19:14] <Filled-Void> luis, Advanced Desktop Effect Settings ? If its not there then it must not be installed. To install it you would run the command sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager  but you get an error on this correct?
[19:14] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: there we go - that's the ticket
[19:14] <luis> yes, I get an error
[19:15] <towel> hi everyone
[19:15] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> yes!
[19:15] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> it works!
[19:15] <Cpudan80> Mew[vendo_jogo]: great
[19:15] <Mew[vendo_jogo]> nickrud, Cpudan80: thank you a LOT!
[19:15] <towel> can anyone give me a display suggestion?
[19:15] <mwolf> how do i go back to metacity instead of compiz-fusion?
[19:15] <towel> i have a weirdness
[19:15] <jv_> guys..please let me know what I am lookign for in demsg for my sd card reader
[19:15] <nickrud> mwolf: alt-f2  metacity --replace
[19:16] <crdlb> mwolf: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > None
[19:16] <Filled-Void> luis, Is this a new install and if so did you enable any of the software sources?
[19:16] <mwolf> ok thanks
[19:16] <luis> It's not a new install, no
[19:16] <towel> i'm stuck at 1280x1024 and can't make my resolution lower
[19:16] <nickrud> jv_: try this: in a terminal, type   tail -f /var/log/syslog  , then insert the card. You will get back a bunch of messages about the card, one will tell you the device
[19:17] <kilgor3> does ubuntu have support for quad core computers?
[19:17] <kilgor3> does the software suite utilize all 4 cores?
[19:17] <jv_> Nickrud, tx will try that
[19:17] <Filled-Void> luis, Do you have universe selected in  System > Adminstration > Software Sources
[19:18] <luis> yes, but everything else is checked as well, does that matter?
[19:18] <luis> the other 3 boxes are also checked
[19:19] <joanki> hi
[19:19] <Filled-Void> luis, Can you pastebin what you get when you run sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:19] <joanki> can anyone tell me how i can get emacs?
[19:19] <luis> ok.
[19:19] <nickrud> joanki: install emacs22
[19:19] <jv_> Nickrud, has only stuff about the network card ath0
[19:19] <luis> this is the error I get
[19:19] <luis> E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:20] <bod_> Hi, is there a program for linux like the windows program Alcohol 120%    ,.,.?
[19:20] <joanki> nickrud thx - surprised it's not already installed
[19:20] <nickrud> jv_: plugging in the card and ejecting it gives you now output at all
[19:20] <QwertyM> luis: try a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:20] <powergoa1> Are there group permissions in kubuntu for read/write for auto mounted usb disks?
[19:20] <nickrud> joanki: this isn't a developers distro :0
[19:20] <crdlb> luis: are you on gutsy?
[19:20] <joanki> nickrud, when running emacs, do i need to type emacs22 to open it?>
[19:20] <luis> IDK what gutsy is? sorry, I'm a newb
[19:20] <joanki> or is it just emacs
[19:21] <crdlb> luis: lsb_release -a
[19:21] <crdlb> does it say 7.04 or 7.10 ?
[19:21] <luis> IDK
[19:21] <luis> lol sorry
[19:21] <bod_> nickrud: do u no if there is a program like Alcohol 120% for linux?
[19:21] <nickrud> joanki: emacs will do
[19:21] <luis> but, filled-void, I get the same error
[19:21] <luis> E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:21] <joanki> and, nickrud, one last q, how could i have found out on my own that it was called emacs22?
[19:21] <mustafa> Hi, i wanna know how can i disable starting services from my system
[19:21] <luis> this is the error I keep getting: E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:21] <nickrud> bod_: what's alcohol 120%
[19:22] <mustafa> because its loading so late and loads like 1.60 , 2.20 after booting
[19:22] <crdlb> luis: in your System > Preferences menu do you see 'Appearance' ?
[19:22] <Strider_>  Question: For some strange reason the new install of 7.10 is incorrectly detecting my GPU (BFG 7300 GT). Instead it's showing up a "Mesa" card. Any ideas?
[19:22] <bod_> nickrud: its a program that lets you use disc iso files without having to burn them to cd/dvd
[19:22] <nickrud> joanki: you can search in system->admin->synaptic (ctl -f)
[19:22] <kilgor3> mustafa go to system>preferences>session>
[19:22] <jv_> Nickrud, no..still the same stuff about ath0
[19:22] <crdlb> Strider_: what does 'mesa card' mean? where are you seeing mesa?
[19:22] <crdlb> in glxinfo?
[19:22] <mustafa> yes, kilgor3 i'm there
[19:23] <luis> crdlb, no, I don't see "appearance"
[19:23] <kilgor3> start up programs
[19:23] <Strider_> crdlb: Tried setting up cedega and that is what it detected as the card.
[19:23] <nickrud> bod_: you can do it with  sudo mount /path/to/iso -o loop /mnt , and access them at mount.  There's also gisomount that's a gui
[19:23] <kilgor3> its right there
[19:23] <luis> I do see "themes" though
[19:23] <luis> probably not the same thing.
[19:23] <mustafa> well, kilgor i cant see evolution on there: S
[19:23] <nickrud> bod_: that is, access them at /mnt not mount
[19:23] <bod_> nickrud: thanks dude,.,. ur a legend
[19:23] <crdlb> luis: you're on 7.04 (feisty), which does not have compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:23] <luis> :(
[19:23] <powergoa1> When trying to write to a USB External HD, konqueror complains that i dont have write permissions.  But the fstab is configured such that I ought to, not to mention I have already run a chmod 777 -R <directory> to give permissions.  it is an fstab filesystem.  Any ideas?
[19:23] <kilgor3> click the add button if you want to add something to start up with
[19:23] <Strider_> luis: You can update pretty easily ;)
[19:23] <luis> and it seems like I can't get it either, since I try installing it and it gives me this error: E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:24] <nickrud> jv_: then something is not working right, I would have no clue why the kernel is seeing ath0 as an sd card :(
[19:24] <crdlb> Strider_: did you use the Restricted Drivers Manager ?
[19:24] <xiven> This makes no sense
[19:24] <luis> tell me how strider, please :P
[19:24] <xiven> This box is the same install..and is working from the ISP nameserver's..
[19:24] <mustafa> kilgor3:  i wanna disable programs like seahorse,evolution from startup
[19:24] <xiven> using eth1
[19:24] <joanki> for programming, is emacs better than gedit?  or gedit is better?
[19:24] <jv_> nickrud, added  tifm_sd to modules and it loads fine
[19:24] <luis> I don't understand , the other day I was making the cube work and it was awesome
[19:24] <powergoa1> joanki: vim :)
[19:24] <xiven> but the other box gets ip and wont connect to anything.
[19:24] <luis> then it stopped for some reason
[19:24] <Filled-Void> luis, GAh, thanks for clearning that crdlb I had no clue what i was missing . I guess assuming donest help :(
[19:24] <QwertyM> joanki: emacs is an os in itself :p
[19:24] <nickrud> jv_: then you don't need help, you can search google :)
[19:24] <Strider_> luis: This should explain everything: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[19:25] <jv_> I did, and that's the thing....didn't work ;)
[19:25] <joanki> too many answers!
[19:25] <joanki> for programming in c++.... which one?
[19:25] <Markos77> stopkeylogger DCC SEND "LOLOWNED" 000
[19:25] <nickrud> joanki: depends, some people do it all in gedit, others like the fact that emacs can read their mail
[19:25] <joanki> read their mail? emacs seems SO complicated?
[19:25] <jv_> will unload tifm_sd and run your command again
[19:26] <Strider_> crdlb: You still here? The restricted drivers limited me to 800x600 and caused some strange graphic errors.
[19:26] <nickrud> joanki: that's because there's an editor to match everyone's taste. I use eclipse which has a c++ plugin, some use vi , some use emacs, some use jedit, it's a matter of trying some and choosing your own poison
[19:26] <Bizzeh> hey, how do i launch a java application in ubuntu?
[19:26] <crdlb> Strider_: well you need that driver, but it sounds like when you enable it, it's failing :/
[19:27] <kestir> nano
[19:27] <parsec300> Anyone know how to install a theme like darker-ice? I've downloaded it, but have no idea how to proceed. It's a zip file, but not something I can easily install using 'Appearance'.
[19:27] <nickrud> kestir: you program in nano?
[19:27] <Owleto> the flash installer reports "remove the xpti.dat from the components directory of the Mozilla"... what about this?
[19:27] <joanki> vi, eh
[19:27] <nickrud> parsec300: you can unzip it into ~/.themes , create the dir if it doesn't exist
[19:27] <Strider_> crdlb: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=138 <--- Posted a thread
[19:27] <joanki> will check out
[19:27] <kestir> no, i came late.  Thought we were just listing editors
[19:28] <nickrud> yeah, I like nano cuz it's always there, even if /usr is missing
[19:28] <forsaken> i have a dell laptop and previously I had it so that you could scroll along the right side of the touchpad to scroll the page, this functionality got broken in an upgrade, anyone know how to reenable this?
[19:29] <nickrud> !synaptics | forsaken
[19:29] <ubotu> forsaken: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad

[19:29] <DFlame> I'm sure that is in mouse settings

[19:29] <mbh00020> does anyone know the command to allow me to ftp into /var/www  on gibbon server?  i keep getting operation not allowed, even when I try to chown

[19:34] <mwe> I see
[19:34] <towel> WoodMaven: that's another linux distro... apparently parallels doesn't like installing Ubuntu as Ubuntu, and has better luck when you select SuSe as the operating system to set up Ubuntu
[19:34] <mwe> Owleto, well removing anything there would seem odd to me
[19:34] <gfather> hello guys

[19:35] <towel> WoodMaven: this is what i heard from a friend of mine but I have yet to install ubuntu via Parallels (though i aspire to at some point)
[19:35] <kestir> gimp is amazing...those devs really need to be congratulated
[19:35] <gfather> we need help on irix , a unix system , pleas if anyone has info on it , say so
[19:35] <towel> WoodMaven: it should be a relatively straight-forward process
[19:35] <odinsbane> anybody here setup an apache server on their ubutu box, that also set up suexec? and/or mod_sll
[19:35] <jimmygoon> when watching the kde4 keynote, its crazy to think that windows has a chance of being around in 10 yearas
[19:35] <mwe> Owleto, I don't know what the file is good for but it's not present here
[19:36] <WoodMaven> towel: this is what I've done, I installed Parallels, downloade ubuntu, had the ISO image on the desktop but it won't accept it
[19:36] <mwe> Owleto, you could try renaming it. that way you can restore it if it breaks anything
[19:36] <Owleto> mwe, will try
[19:36] <gcarrillo> hi, is there an obvious way to get the majority of things one would need for developing?

[19:45] <slaskiz> have you tried ENVY ?
[19:45] <stasbull> how can I do it??
[19:46] <mwe> gidna: with the quiet word present you don't get all the info. only the fatal error
[19:46] <slaskiz> Either edit the Xorg.conf or install ENVY and run as root
[19:46] <randomshadowbm1> how do I get flash working on amd64 kubuntu?
[19:46] <astro76> !envy | slaskiz
[19:46] <ubotu> slaskiz: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[19:46] <brobostigon> !amd64
[19:46] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.

[19:47] <VvWolverinevV> !gnome
[19:47] <WorkingOnWise> what is the current "right" way to install 32bit firefox  on an AMD64 system?
[19:47] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[19:47] <ThipThip> randomshadowbm1:  google "nspluginwrapper."  You are looking for a script called "getflash."
[19:47] <mwe> gidna: esc before it boots will only give you the grub menu. then you need to edit it
[19:47] <randomshadowbm1> i tried that
[19:48] <stasbull> i've got ubuntu today! but get norwegian. want ENGLISH!
[19:48] <randomshadowbm1> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924 i tried that

[19:48] <W8TAH> what log do i look in to see what scrolled on screen during bootup?
[19:48] <WorkingOnWise> VvWolverinevV: are u using Compiz Fusion, or Metacity?
[19:48] <ThipThip> randomshadowbm1:  and what problem did you have with it?
[19:48] <robdig> stasbull: system->administration->language support
[19:48] <randomshadowbm1> i cant watch youtube videos
[19:48] <W8TAH> no can i
[19:48] <VvWolverinevV> WorkingOnWise: not sure, whatever is default
[19:48] <parsec300> nickrud: That didn't work. Any more ideas?
[19:48] <stasbull> can I do it from console???
[19:48] <mwe> gidna: I told you

[19:49] <whabo> any one knows why my rescreen resoluyion went out of WACK after a shutdown??? HELP
[19:49] <WorkingOnWise> VvWolverinevV: the default will depend on your hardware, and which video driver u are using.
[19:50] <slaskiz> whabo - you have to edit your xorg.conf
[19:50] <WorkingOnWise> Can someone tell VvWolverinevV how to chech if his system is using cf?
[19:50] <VvWolverinevV> WorkingOnWise: well i disabled it in compiz, and windows are still snapping, so i guess metacity
[19:50] <chickin> whabo sorry, I am new to ubuntu and it won't even get started on my comp sorry.

[19:56] <xiven> Hey
[19:56]  * chickin needs help with his partitioner
[19:56] <ThipThip> stasbull:  Unfortunately I have no idea.  I'm very new to Ubuntu.  Have you googled this?
[19:56] <mwe> stasbull: export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
[19:56] <xiven> I did a live bot, and I had internet...but once I installed it, it now cannot connect anymore...
[19:56] <xiven> What could be causing this?
[19:56] <stasbull> not yet..... but it shoudnt be a problem..,.,
[19:57] <filthpig> how can I force the cdrom to open? I'm installing a game through wine, and I need to insert cd #2, but ubuntu won't let me open it cus the cdrom is "busy"
[19:57] <chickin> will someone please help me, my partitioner won't work when im installing ubuntu, it says i have to little mem. :/ I have 30gb free
[19:57]  * ThipThip does not know enough about partitioning to help chickin, but hopes someone does.
[19:57] <mwe> stasbull: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 as well
[19:57] <chickin> chickin thanks thipthip for thinking of him
[19:57] <stasbull> from console?
[19:57] <Arelis> How do i enable GNOME's sounds? right now only the logon and logout sounds can be heard. I treid enabling them but don't hear anything.
[19:58] <mwe> stasbull: right. it wont be permanent that way but should work for that console
[19:58] <ThipThip> xiven:  what do you mean "cannot connect?"  Can you browse to google.com?
[19:58]  * chickin wonders if anyone could help him
[19:58] <Gizmo_The_Great> can anyone explain to me the thinking behind allowing users read access, by default, to other users home folders? Even Windows doesn't do that! Why does Ubuntu allow it?
[19:58] <xiven> no
[19:58] <bsod2> i dunno, chickin
[19:59] <stasbull> I'll try...
[19:59] <bsod2> chickin: i know that at console you have 'fdisk' commmands
[19:59]  * chickin needs help w/ his partitioner
[19:59] <ThipThip> I am having a very strange problem with make.  I cannot compile anything at all.  I get a variety of errors, all similar to this one:  /bin/sh: -o: not found
[19:59] <bsod2> chickin: but those are pretty advanced, but doable
[19:59] <stasbull> that would be nice to change it forever!!
[19:59] <brobostigon> gparted
[19:59] <ThipThip> xiven:  so obviously you are not connected from the OS in question to this IRC channel
[19:59] <chickin> bsod2 really? I'm in windows xp and im trying to install ubuntu
[19:59] <mwe> stasbull: edit /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale to make it permanent. back up the files first, though, so you can revert them if it breaks anything (it shouldn't, though.)
[20:00] <xiven> The live boot had hotmail.com, but this has an IP but cant access anything
[20:00] <xiven> no.
[20:00] <ThipThip> chickin:  have you considered using wubi?
[20:00] <xiven> This system is the same thing...but a version later
[20:00] <stasbull> thanks mwe!
[20:00] <stasbull> ill try
[20:00] <kasper_> hi everybody.. i'm pretty new to ubuntu, but I want to hear if anybody knows how to customize the interface in ubuntu 7.10 with things such as widgets and docks?
[20:00] <chickin> i have but i don't want ubuntu to be my only system, I want to double boot
[20:00] <brobostigon> whats is wubi??
[20:00] <squid0> kasper_: look at superkaramba for widgets
[20:00] <mwe> stasbull: you'll need to reboot or log out and back in
[20:00] <ThipThip> xiven:  Well I'm pretty new to Ubuntu myself, but I had an issue where I could only connect to a few sites (including google) and it ended up being an MTU issue.

[20:02] <InfectedMachine> lol
[20:02] <joshwaryan> can anyone explain/send a link of how to get a wireless card that has no Linux drivers to work in Linux? Does it involve Wine at all?
[20:02] <Jaymac> for example, if i had: john@john-laptop:~/Downloads/Folding could I just display: john@john-laptop:~/Folding/ ?
[20:02] <chickin> thipthip: I don't know.
[20:02] <brobostigon> wubi presumably cant erase windows , as its running inside windows.
[20:03] <bmc> dc'd
[20:03] <Gizmo_The_Great> Why do users have read access to other users home folders by default?
[20:03] <bmc> i missed that

[20:06] <robdig> ThipThip: paste the output of make to the pastebin and i'll take a look
[20:06] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: develpors decided. I don't know why, though.
[20:06] <robdig> !paste | ThipThip
[20:06] <ubotu> ThipThip: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[20:06] <ThipThip> robdig:  Thanks!  I have actually already posted a few outputs of make, but I did not save the URLs.  Is there a way I can look them up by name?
[20:06] <yon> bod_: can i pm u? it gets rather complicated
[20:06] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, is that chmod switch saying "Make the owner have read, write and execute of your home folder" thus meaning everyone else does not have that?
[20:07] <robdig> ThipThip: afik, no
[20:07] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: no it says revoke read, write and execution perms for others
[20:08] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, oh yeah....the - I missed that
[20:08] <Kungen354646> sigh... can any1 help me with my tablet?
[20:08] <blag> Kungen354646: ditto
[20:08] <Kungen354646> u too?
[20:08] <ThipThip> robdig:  OK.  I have posted another one.  See here:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52814/
[20:08] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: you could chmod 750 ~ if you prefer
[20:08] <robdig> ThipThip: looking
[20:08] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: or 700 even
[20:09] <Kungen354646> as far as i know i SHOULD work.. but it doesnt ;) grrr
[20:09] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, the problem I have is that I have a mounts folder that points to a drive that I do want other users to access, but it's only mounted from my home folder. So if I apply 750 to ~ they won't be able to navigate to the shared folder.
[20:09] <abc111> how would one knows which window manager is active or used at the moment?  gdm ? kdm ? metacity ?
[20:09] <jimmygoon> 7.10 has been disappointing. my gdm/kde4 has  huge fonts and is completely unusable, I have no ttys, and the disk checker gives no feedback or indicator during boot :/
[20:10] <blag> i booted my tablet today and the stylus wouldnt wor
[20:10] <blag> *work
[20:10] <Kungen354646> and whats with that annoying tracker bug??
[20:10] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: mount it elsewhere like /mnt/something
[20:10] <antipop> what is the best antivirus program for ubuntu?
[20:10] <Kibbles> trying to open an mms and it tells me i don't have permissions - any advice?
[20:10] <jimmygoon> antipop, you dont need one
[20:10] <W8TAH> antipop, you dont need one - but if you insist, check out clamAV
[20:11] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, UI could do, but it's how I've always had it and I'm kinda used to it now! :-(
[20:11] <ThipThip> antipop:  The best AV software for Ubuntu is Ubuntu :-)
[20:11] <jimmy__> on compiz i have "desktop cube" on and every now and then it just stops working and reverts back to normal desktop moving properties, does anyone know why this is?
[20:11] <Kibbles> it's useful to have an AV so you can scan other boxes
[20:11] <bruenig> ThipThip, hahahahahahahahahahahahah, you mean gnu/linux
[20:11] <abc111> how would one knows which window manager is active or used at the moment?  gdm ? kdm ? metacity ?
[20:11] <Kibbles> anyone know how to run an mms feed?
[20:11] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: I think it's your only option if you restrict access to ~
[20:11] <W8TAH> can some one please point me in the right direction for problems with ifplugd -- it seems to fail on boot, and doesnt do its thing
[20:11] <bruenig> abc111, gdm and kdm are not window managers
[20:11] <ThipThip> bruenig:  fair enough :-)
[20:12] <Kungen354646> Kibbles: use vlc
[20:12] <abc111> bruening what are they called then?
[20:12] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, indeed. I am currently searching the net to try and find the reasoning behind why users are given read access by default. I cannot understand it!
[20:12] <ljsmithx> i just found something out about Live Mail
[20:12] <Kibbles> Kungen354646: thanks
[20:12] <bruenig> abc111, display managers I think is what the dm stands for (login managers perhaps makes more sense)
[20:12] <ThipThip> unagi:  that's eel, right?  I had some eel two nights ago from a great sushi place in town.  Wonderful!
[20:12] <unagi> eel is so yummy
[20:12] <jimmygoon> this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/180881  does anyone know how to fix this :(
[20:12] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: it's common. other users only have read access
[20:12] <robdig> ThipThip: an error in the makefile. can you paste the makefile from /home/justin/Desktop/gDesklets-0.36beta/po to the pastebin?
[20:13] <blag> any ideas on how to get my tablet working?
[20:13] <ThipThip> robdig:  I sure can, but I should tell you that this has happened with every single source I have tried to compile.
[20:13] <ljsmithx> I can't access it through Thunderbird without paying money. I sthere a free way to get my Live mail through thunderbird?
[20:13] <Jefo> hi
[20:13] <ljsmithx> hey
[20:13] <Kibbles> Kungen354646: it takes alot of stuff to run vlc
[20:13] <jimmy__> on compiz i have "desktop cube" activated and every now and then it just stops working and reverts back to normal desktop moving properties, does anyone know why this is?
[20:13] <robdig> ThipThip: wierd, but it may be something not resolving correctly if it is impacting all of them
[20:14] <Jefo> does anyone know if its possible to order 2 64bit CDs at shipit?
[20:14] <naxa> hi
[20:14] <ThipThip> robdig:  Here it is:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52816/
[20:14] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: I think it's for historical reasons. it's been custom for a long time in *nix I think
[20:14] <Kibbles> jefo - download them
[20:14] <robdig> ThipThip: looking
[20:14] <Kungen354646> Kibbles: it does? didnt notice ;)
[20:14] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: yes i had the same issue, it was somehow related to the desktop resolution
[20:14] <Darkmystere> Could some help me fix my Splash Screen I dont have it atoll havent had it since i booted the Live CD and successfully installed Ubuntu
[20:14] <ljsmithx> Kibbles, he may be on dialup
[20:14] <Kibbles> Kungen354646: you screwing with me?
[20:14] <antipop> deos anyone uses program antivir?
[20:14] <Kibbles> ljsmithx: yeah i figgered he'd say something
[20:14] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, but even Windows doesn't allow that AFAIK
[20:14] <chickin> thipthip: I am going to try wubi, Wish me luck!
[20:14] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, in what way? its the right one for my laptop, I've always used this res and I've only had this prob on 7.10
[20:14] <naxa> i have nvidia 7200 go in my laptop and the nvidia restricted driver is the only working one. however, due to some nvidia problems, the driver randomly freeze... can someone help me and listen the details? :)
[20:14] <bruenig> antipop, unless you are serving windows machines, no one uses antivirus
[20:15] <Kungen354646> Kibbles: i dont remember anything out of the ordinary
[20:15] <ljsmithx> Kibbles, :)
[20:15] <ThipThip> robdig:  I can find no other mentions of this problem with gDesklets, but there are a few references here and there in other situations.  Generally the discussion is over my head, as I am quite new to Linux.  I'd love to understand bash and dash and sh and the rest.  In time.
[20:15] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: it not only was very ver large, but then i changed desktop resolution, and then it was super super small. wierd
[20:15] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: it does if you don't tell it not to
[20:15] <ThipThip> chickin:  break a chickin leg!
[20:15] <chickin> thipthip lol :D
[20:15] <Jefo> Kibbles: i want a "real" one, not CD-R, and my blanks are out
[20:15] <ljsmithx> Jefo: why not order one then copy it to another dvd?
[20:15] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, does it? I thought it didn't
[20:15] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: i dont know what fixed it, but now its fine, it had something to do with video settings
[20:15] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, hm, well, I just changed from "intel" to the (old) "i810" driver so give me a sec to restart gdm
[20:15] <ljsmithx> ohh well
[20:15] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: you can make your files "private" in windows terms
[20:15] <Matir> is it better to have side case fans as intake or exhaust?
[20:15] <Darkmystere> Anyone Have Experience In fixing splash Screens?
[20:15] <VvWolverinevV> hi, how do i mount an ntfs volume at startup/login
[20:15] <wyclif> mwe you mean chown?
[20:16] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, oh yeah - you're right. I remember now
[20:16] <ThipThip> !ubotu
[20:16] <jwadd> anyone have any experience getting steam games to run in ubuntu?
[20:16] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[20:16] <mwe> wyclif: I think you missed our conversation :)
[20:16] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: it may bot be driver specific, it might do the same will all driver. i have nvidai, you have intel, does same thing
[20:16] <wyclif> ha, just realised that...(scrolling up)
[20:16] <wyclif> sorry
[20:16] <naxa> VvWolverinevV, /etc/fstab is the auto-mount file. on wikipedia there are examples of it's sturcutre. if you can mount ntfs otherwise, it won't be a problem
[20:16] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, alright, well, I've got nothing else to try yet
[20:16] <jimmygoon> brb
[20:17] <Jefo> doesnt solve my problem with dont having blanks. usually i dont burn CDs
[20:17] <vile_maxim> is there a way to copy a Logical volume to a different Volume Group on the same machine.  The lv is not active, but is a NTFS.  This seems simple, but for some reason I'm running into brick wall.
[20:17] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: i tried both drivers as wll, no change, it has something to do with resolution fix. let me get you link
[20:17] <Reborn> #join ubuntu.pl
[20:17] <Kibbles> Kungen354646: it works - but it installed ALOT of stuff
[20:17] <Kibbles> Kungen354646: thanks anyhow
[20:17] <chickin> thipthip, well nvm :P My moms listening to online radio, I get a whopping 14Kb/s !!!!! that wouild only take 14days!
[20:17] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: check this out, maybe it will help > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[20:17] <Kungen354646> Kibbles: np ^^
[20:18] <crush_groove> . brb
[20:18] <Kibbles> as payback: http://www.radio3net.ro/index.php?cx=best500
[20:18] <robdig> ThipThip: this particular problem is that GMSGFMT is defined to be empty around line 47...so there is no command at line 131, just the option
[20:18] <Kibbles> knock yourself out
[20:18] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, it fixed it but no my mouse is invisible :O
[20:18] <KrisWood> I just finished installing ubuntu on my server. During first boot it hangs apparently indefinitely (a bit over 20min now) at "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)                                  [ OK ]" do I need to reinstall? :-/
[20:18] <Kungen354646> can any1 help me with my tablet problems?
[20:18] <ThipThip> robdig:  I don't know what GMSGFMT is - could you enlighten me?
[20:18] <antipop> and what about tweaking programs and cleaners?
[20:18] <robdig> ThipThip: so it tries to execute -o, which isn't a command...looking about GMSGFMT
[20:18] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: the size is correct now ? check this out too > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[20:19] <techgeek40> Okay - question - I have an Nvidia 5200 GForce card installed on my desktop - I had to use the alternate CD install - everything went okay - but during the reboot it is just sitting at a screen that says Running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local) [ok[ and then nothing
[20:19] <jimmy__> on compiz i have "desktop cube" activated and every now and then it just stops working and reverts back to normal desktop moving properties, does anyone know why this is?
[20:19] <badkitty> Whats up busters
[20:19] <chickin> kungen354646 what type of tablet is it? computer tablet?
[20:19] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, the font size is "normal" now yes
[20:19] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, both in kde and in gdm
[20:19] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: you fixed it like that ?
[20:19] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, I'm gonna have to file a bug against the "intel" driver I guess... or do some more research
[20:19] <antipop> are such kind on ubuntu?
[20:19] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, yep, that was the only thing i did was change from intel -> i810
[20:20] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: check out that link i gave you
[20:20] <misslecommander> jimmygoon: maybe it will help
[20:20] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, will do when I reboot and get my mouse back :) (I've got logging on so I'll look)
[20:20] <ThipThip> robdig:  can you recommend a course of action?  Is it simply that his source is poorly written?  Others seem to use it successfully.  What can explain the apparent uniqueness of my problem?
[20:20]  * KrisWood sighs
[20:20] <KrisWood> I gues I reinstall yet again, then
[20:20] <Kungen354646> chickin: its a trust draw pad.. or apparently aiptek
[20:20] <robdig> ThipThip: looks like you need to install gettext, sudo apt-get install gettext
[20:20] <jimmygoon> misslecommander, brb again thanks
[20:21] <badkitty> Can someone please give me a brief overview of kernel images
[20:21] <chickin> kungen354646 oh, I can't help you then. :( sorry.
[20:21] <robdig> ThipThip: after that, you will need to re-run the ./config script, then re-run make
[20:21] <creature> Hello. I am in the alternative installer, and I would like to remove some MD devices. But when I choose 'delete MD device', it tells me 'There was an error deleting the multidisk device. It may be in use.' How do I fix this?
[20:21] <Kungen354646> chickin: k :(
[20:21] <sc_> Hi
[20:21] <chickin> kungen354646 cool think though! :D
[20:21] <ThipThip> robdig:  I am doing just that.  Thank you.  :-)  Could you explain to me (or point me in the direction of an explanation of) what gettext is and why it was needed here?
[20:22] <sc_> People im getting trouble when trying to copy an AVI from a CD to my disk.. is there any software to dificult cases?
[20:22] <Kibbles> how do I select a default program for filetype?
[20:22] <sc_> The CD isnt very good... scratchy
[20:22] <vile_maxim> creature: I've had that before on debian installs... it was caused by me setting up the MD then changing my mind.  I had to reboot... hope that helps
[20:22] <robdig> ThipThip: my guess is that the config script looks for something in gettext, but doesn't issue an error message that it isn't there
[20:22] <creature> vile_maxim: I haven't set anything up yet.
[20:23] <Gizmo_The_Great> Is there a difference, in relation to sharing files\folders using Samba, to data stored on an ext3 partition over those stored on a reiser partition? The reason I ask is I had data stored on an ext3 partition that I could share and bavigate to from my Windows laptop. But applying the exact same permissions to data on the reiser, I kept getting Access Denied errors
[20:23] <creature> There are pre-existing RAID devices on these drives, however.
[20:23] <chickin> sc_ thats probobly the problem then.
[20:23] <slash|crisis> hey! i am currently working on a remote monitoring server. the server runs on linux, the client does also run on linux and is planned to be ported to other *nixes and windows (if i find somebody who is more familiar with windows). - the server works, the client is ready for a first alpha version. but i need help in development! CVS, mailing lists etc are set up - server and client are written in C++, the web interface is PHP
[20:23] <slash|crisis> anybody interested?
[20:23] <misslecommander> does ANYONE actually have a version of ANY distro that works out of the box ? there is way too many issues with everything failing, its complete chaos
[20:23] <slash|crisis> its a GPL project
[20:23] <sc_> Any special software to try to copy to my HDD from a scratchy CD? =)
[20:23] <robdig> ThipThip: i found a similar problem on google, and that is what they did to fix it :)
[20:23] <jwadd> steam games in ubuntu? halp?
[20:23] <sc_> chickin: yes... almost the entire file is copied but the last 50mb... it's hard..
[20:23] <badkitty> misslecommander: My ubuntu worked out of the box
[20:23] <sc_> any tip?
[20:23] <vile_maxim> creature: I'm not sure    bluepill:/etc/xen# cat /proc/mdstat ?
[20:23] <misslecommander> if you do, what kind of system you have ?
[20:24] <chickin> sc_ wierd
[20:24] <misslecommander> badkitty: system specs please
[20:24] <vile_maxim> creature: bluepill is the name of my machine... sorry
[20:24] <Mudkipz> lol matrix
[20:24] <chickin> sc_ have you tried cleaning it with toothpaste and a microfiber cloth?
[20:24] <sc_> beside cp command, any thing I should try?
[20:24] <Mudkipz> how cute
[20:24] <Gizmo_The_Great> misslecommander, as did my Ubuntu install. And I have a 500Gb hardware RAID that works like a dream. Took me ages to setup using Windows!
[20:24] <ThipThip> robdig:  it would seem that you are the superior googler between us.  :-)  This seems to have done the trick.
[20:24] <vile_maxim> Mudkipz: from the attack... which comes from Matrix
[20:24] <chickin> sc_ clean swiping outward from the center not with the grain
[20:24] <sc_> yes chickin in this case with alcohol and a microfiber cloth
[20:24] <robdig> ThipThip: cool. good luck
[20:24] <misslecommander> Gizmo_The+Great: system, specs please
[20:25] <creature> vile_maxim: It shows 2 active RAID devices.
[20:25] <misslecommander> Gizmo_The_Great: system, specs please
[20:25] <chickin> sc_ ah! try with toothpaste
[20:25] <QwertyM> how do I merge two screen sessions?
[20:25] <badkitty> misslecommander: I have an amd64bit (running 32bit ubuntu) 2.8G Proc w/ 2 gigs ram, nvidia 7300 GT AGP, 2 500 gig SATA HDD, 2 DVD-RW Nvidia Wireless card and Nvidia chipset
[20:25] <sc_> ok chickin tks for the help
[20:25] <xiven> What would cause a live boot to have internet, but an install (done after the live boot)?
[20:25] <sc_> just the question, is there any other way to copy besides the CP command?
[20:25] <misslecommander> badkitty: thank you
[20:25] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: well if samba has read access to your files you can share them even though local users cant access them
[20:25] <vile_maxim> creature: mdadm --manage -stop
[20:25] <jwadd> lol @ badkitty .. you know you can get 64 ubuntu
[20:26] <badkitty> jwadd: Yeah but for what? It is less supported
[20:26] <Gizmo_The_Great> misslecommander, Dell Precision P650 Workstation. 2Gb RAM, 500Gb SCSI Hardware RAID, 40Gb SCSI OS Disk, Intel Xeon 3.5Ghz dual processors
[20:26] <vile_maxim> creature: you might need to help that command... I don't remember it off the top of my head
[20:26] <mwe> Gizmo_The_Great: as a side note for our previous conversation
[20:26] <badkitty> misslecommander: I also had ubuntu working out of box on my Laptop
[20:26] <chickin> slash|crisis sorry, thats not my area of expertice
[20:26] <lespea> sc_:  there are plenty of ways to copy stuff
[20:26] <creature> vile_maxim: I'll check it out, thanks.
[20:26] <chickin> sc_ no problem
[20:26] <vile_maxim> creature: I think you need the device after that
[20:26] <lespea> sc_: what'r eyou trying to do?
[20:26] <ThipThip> robdig:  My next question is:  What does "make install" do and how does it differ from installing something from synaptic, apart from the obvious difference between getting something from source vs. from a repo.  Should "make install" put a launcher into the applications menu?  If not, how does one execute an application installed via "make install"?
[20:26] <yon> I have two hdds that i can not see, one is internal, the other is external (USB), can anyone help me fix this?
[20:26] <chickin> sc_ I don't know, I run windows :/
[20:27] <badkitty> jwadd: I had 64 ubuntu and experienced many problems... especially when it came to multimedia stuff
[20:27] <vile_maxim> creature: I have no idea if that will fix this for you though... I'm just telling you where I would start
[20:27] <misslecommander> badkitty: out of the box, running stable, just cause it works isnt good, stable is most important, yours stable ?
[20:27] <lespea> ThipThip: make install follows whatever commands are given to the "install" process in the make file
[20:27] <sc_> leagris: a divx is on a scratchy CD
[20:27] <Gizmo_The_Great> mwe, thanks nwe. I'm on a different 'concern' now though. I've just migrated from one PC to another and trying to replicate shares that I had on the old machine. Nothing to do with out earlier chat about users home folders :-)
[20:27] <lespea> ThipThip: so it depends on who made it and how they set it up
[20:27] <sc_> it doesnt even read on windowsxp
[20:27] <sc_> so I tried on ubuntu
[20:27] <sc_> it was copying but the last 50mb... it cant
[20:28] <badkitty> misslecommander: Yes of course... during my days using dapper and edgy I had some stability problems but now Its al working gravy, the only thing I had to do was install the proprietary multimedia codecs
[20:28] <chimp> Is it possible through synaptic/aptitude to install just the dependencies and not the package selected?
[20:28] <jwadd> badkitty: ah.. i just use the basic apps when my windows install crashes... might go to 32 if i want more apps
[20:28] <ThipThip> lespea:  I see.  So it is possible, but not necessary, that it would behave similarly to synaptic (ie placing a launcher somewhere)
[20:28] <lespea> have you cleaned the cd, and what proggy in windows were you using?
[20:28] <sc_> so i want to know if any of you know any software to try to copy scratchy cd's dvd's
[20:28] <lespea> ThipThip: yup, possible but not a gimme
[20:28] <Mudkipz> is it best to run a barebones install of ubunto for an old p3 machine running on 256mb ram?
[20:28] <sc_> in windows, i can't even read the CD
[20:28] <badkitty> jwadd: It wouldn't hurt to have both
[20:28] <misslecommander> badkitty: thank you
[20:28] <creature> vile_maxim: It's --misc --stop, by the way.
[20:28] <ThipThip> lespea:  And in cases where it doesn't, where should one look for an executable?
[20:28] <sc_> just with ubuntu with the CP command i was almost copying the entire divx
[20:28] <lespea> sc_: well isobuster in windows is by far the best program for scratched cd's... imo
[20:29] <badkitty> misslecommander: What problems are you having?
[20:29] <sc_> but the last 50mb... cant
[20:29] <sc_> lespea: freeware?
[20:29] <lespea> ThipThip: type where {program} or go `sudo updatedb` then `locate {program}`
[20:29] <jwadd> badkitty: my 320 gb hd is almost full as it is... may go for a 500 gb when the prices drop
[20:29] <Kibbles> uninstalling vlc
[20:29] <vile_maxim> creature: I think it's ether, but you could be right
[20:29] <lespea> ThipThip: also, if you're feeling adventurous, you can `less` the makefile and find it in there
[20:29] <chickin> sc_ see http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Scratched-CD and look st quote "Polish the CD. Though counterintuitive, polishing a disc can repair a scratched CD by removing some of the outer plastic coating and thus making existing scratches shallower. A number of common household products can be used to polish the CD, but toothpaste — especially baking soda toothpaste — and Brasso are probably the most tried and true. You can also us

[20:29] <lespea> ThipThip: but it will probably go in /usr/bin or /bin, maybe /sbin
[20:30] <QwertyM> how do I merge em?
[20:30] <robdig> ThipThip: make install generally just copies the binaries into the proper directories. I don't think they would normally add to a menu as they are for more general distros, and not all have the same menus
[20:30] <jwadd> this is a noobish question but... anyone know how to get those custom themes some people seem to have...any sites for those or anything?
[20:30] <QwertyM> oops
[20:30] <badkitty> jwadd: Yeah I have many HDD's sitting around because my MB wont handle more than 2 sata drives... I have a 500 external and a 100 but rarely use those
[20:30] <QwertyM> how do I merge two screen sessions I meant
[20:30] <xiven> would someone please help me out?
[20:30] <lespea> sc_: it's crippled a bit if you don't pay for it .. but i've never needed the advanced stuff so i use the free version
[20:30] <robdig> ThipThip: what were you compiling?
[20:30] <chickin> xiven whats your problem?
[20:30] <chimp> Heres my issue, i have downloaded warsow off the internet, but i need to make sure i have all the dependencies, is there a way of doing this considering i downloaded the game as a zip?
[20:30] <ThipThip> "Where gDesklets" does not work.
[20:30] <xiven> My linux won't conect to the internet
[20:30] <jwadd> badkitty: i have no moneys... waiting on those W2's lol
[20:30] <lespea> where not Where
[20:31] <lespea> omg
[20:31] <misslecommander> badkitty: i have it running better and better each day, but, its not about me, its about the whole linux community. so many having all the same issues, with 200 ways to fix, none working
[20:31] <lespea> witch
[20:31] <lespea> lol
[20:31] <xiven> it'll get IP..but no connections...I did a live boot that had internet, but then I installed it, and now I don't have anything other then an IP.
[20:31] <chickin> xiven do you have the right driver?
[20:31] <ThipThip> lespea:  indeed when I typed it I did all lowercase
[20:31] <badkitty> misslecommander: what problem?
[20:31] <lespea> which
[20:31] <lespea> lol wow i'm dumb today :/
[20:31] <ThipThip> lespea:  bash: where: command not found
[20:31] <badkitty> chimp: Did you download a windoes version of something?
[20:31] <xiven> The live boot had internet, before i reinstalled it like 15 minutes ago
[20:31] <lespea> ThipThip: which
[20:31] <mattholimeau> chimp: warsow installed fine for me once i had all the compiz settings right
[20:31] <vile_maxim> xiven: can you ping your local gatway?
[20:31] <chickin> xiven, bizzar, sorry, I would mlike to help but I can't think of anything
[20:31] <lespea> ThipThip: sorry, gave you wrong command
[20:31] <xiven> no
[20:31] <misslecommander> badkitty: i dont currently have any issues, i was asking what systems work out of the box. find a common denominaotr
[20:31] <chimp> It was just straight off the warsow website
[20:32] <ortodox> please someone help me install JDK java in ubuntu
[20:32] <chimp> Its the linux version, however for my little brother, i dont think he has all the dependencies for it
[20:32] <rencore_> can someone tell me what im doing wrong here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52818/
[20:32] <VvWolverinevV> naxa: how do i view the mounted volumes in gnome?
[20:32] <badkitty> misslecommander: You could always try LFS ...
[20:32] <chimp> And so how do i find out what they are mattholimeau  or make sure he has them?
[20:32] <ortodox> i want eclipse working on ubuntu so i need JDK java
[20:32] <xiven> apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[20:32] <chickin> jwadd I don't know if theres a ubuntu ver. of windows blinds, I dought it by the name but you could try
[20:32] <misslecommander> badkitty: i dont have any issues as of now., but what is LFS ?
[20:32] <creature> vile_maxim: That did it, thanks.
[20:32] <vile_maxim> creature: no problem
[20:33] <badkitty> chimp: You can try oh what was it sudo apt-get install -depends <packagename> .. i think that is what it was
[20:33] <vile_maxim> xiven: sudo dhclient eth0 ?
[20:33] <ThipThip> which gDesklets returns nothing
[20:33] <chimp> Badkitty, the repositries only have the older version of the game, so they may have changed
[20:33] <jwadd> chickin: i just meant like change stuff from default brown and orange... ive been through some of the settings and cant seem to find simple changing colors stuff
[20:33] <badkitty> misslecommander: Linux from scratch... basically you customize your linux environment to your likings.. you have to know how to build and complime from source code though
[20:33] <lespea> ThipThip: okay type `sudo updatedb` then when that is done type `locate gdesklets`
[20:34] <chickin> jwadd, oh sorry. I would help but im running windowz
[20:34] <badkitty> chimp .. did you download the source code then?
[20:34] <chimp> No just the zip off the warsow website
[20:34] <lespea> ThipThip: actually go `locate -i gdesklets`
[20:34] <theshadow> Anyone here setup virutual hosts on ubuntu 7.10 server with apache2 with one host using :80 and the other :8080?
[20:34] <xiven> shouldn't it be DHCPDIscorvering on my router, not <IP_ADDRESS>?
[20:34] <chickin> jwadd I know from windows look for things like "display" or "desktop" or maybe "color?"
[20:34] <lespea> theshadow: i've done something like that
[20:35] <ortodox> xiven im getting error on apt-get java
[20:35] <misslecommander> badkitty: so its bare-bones ? i know your busy with these people, so that will be last question
[20:35] <theshadow> lespea: wouldn't happen to know of a tutorial that I could follow? I'm having a hell of a time figuring it out
[20:35] <badkitty> misslecommander: No please ask
[20:35] <vile_maxim> xiven: no dhcp broadcast
[20:35] <Frings> how can i list isa devices in shell? its possible?
[20:35] <ortodox> could not open lock file

[20:35] <badkitty> misslecommander: LFS is bare bones necessities for linux, then you download and build all the programs you need for your systems, and install only what you need
[20:35] <xiven> iuts in the repositories
[20:35] <vile_maxim> xiven: it actually fun to setup your own dhcp server on someone's network
[20:35] <Frings> how can i list isa devices in shell? its possible?
[20:35] <vile_maxim> :)
[20:36] <ThipThip> lespea: OK.  it seems to have listed every file with "gDesklets" in the name.  I still don't know how to execute it, though.
[20:36] <xiven> open your repos up
[20:36] <ortodox> apt-get install sun-java6-jdk gives me error
[20:36] <misslecommander> badkitty: i will check it out, thanks for the info.
[20:36] <xiven> my router is the DHCP
[20:36] <badkitty> misslecommander: So you can build a server version of linux under 8 MB or your OS can take up less than 100 megs
[20:36] <Mudkipz> dhcp server and fun on the same sentence?
[20:36] <Mudkipz> madness

[20:37] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[20:37] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.

[20:40] <xiven> and it used <IP_ADDRESS> to try to get them.
[20:41] <ortodox> i did search but there is so much stuff

[20:44] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow:  you there?
[20:44] <Bo7a> G'day folks. weird scenario (to me anyway). I booted into my ubuntu 7.10 install yesterday to find the gdm in about 800x600. logged into a gnome session and attempted to switch the res back, but the res chooser only gave me 800x600@50 and 1900x12??@50. I then attempted to re-conf my monitor in the 'screens and displays' settings. only to find it detects as plug n play. instead of the viewsonic vg2230wm(not in the list of options under v
[20:44] <Bo7a> iewsonic) So i boot out to a prompt. adjust xorg.conf with the proper specs (retrieved from xresprod and ddc)
[20:44] <vile_maxim> theshadow: I've had all kinds of problems with * and defaults.  I've have to put the IP in once.  Kinda messed up but if worked.

[20:44] <Bo7a> still no go, the specs are correct in xorg, but the res chooser still ignores them
[20:44] <ThipThip> On another note, does anyone here use gDesklets?  It will not work for me if I install it from synaptic.  It just chills and eventually crashes without doing anything.
[20:44] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: Not really.. did it work
[20:45] <beanybam> anybody who know postfix well
[20:45] <misslecommander> agreenmac: they finally updated it, so it works proper
[20:45] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow: no, made my resolution really low

[20:49] <ThipThip> lespea:  surely it helps less that I know nearly nothing about Linux.  I'm learning fast thanks to kind folks like you.
[20:49] <lespea> xiven: well what are you trying to do that's so complicated?
[20:49] <MasterShrek> !forums | xiven
[20:49] <xiven> well i've been in here for two hours...and i havent gotten anything accomplished
[20:49] <ubotu> xiven: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[20:49] <misslecommander> Bo7a: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[20:50] <Bo7a> i've done everyting in those steps. properly
[20:50] <xiven> IM TRYING TO GET MY FUCKING INTERNET WORKING
[20:50] <lespea> ThipThip: heh, yeah I"m no super expert either -- you'll get used to it :)
[20:50] <Cpudan80> xiven: Easy man - good grief
[20:50] <badkitty> xiven: Perhaps you should ask exactly what you need help with, and if someone knows they will try to help. Many of us here are new just like you
[20:50] <theshadow> vile_maxim: yey it works :) though I don't like the error messages :
[20:50] <LjL> !language > xiven    (xiven, see the private message from Ubotu)
[20:50] <lespea> xiven: and you wonder why nobody helps you?
[20:50] <brobostigon> xiven: no swearing please
[20:50] <Sjimmie> !language xiven
[20:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about language xiven - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:50] <LjL> !attitude > xiven    (xiven, see the private message from Ubotu)
[20:50] <xiven> right out of the box it is not working
[20:50] <MasterShrek> xiven, post in the forums, then you dont have to repeat yourself
[20:50] <Cpudan80> xiven: What's wrong?
[20:50] <Xintruder> ikonia: hey
[20:50] <Sjimmie> !kick xiven
[20:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kick xiven - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:50] <Bo7a> thx tho missle. this is something very elusive. I'be been confing X for various machines for just over 8 years. nothing in my history has helped here
[20:50] <misslecommander> Bo7a: you need to look towards the section that talks about editing xorg.conf
[20:50] <lespea> xiven: lan or wifi?
[20:51] <xiven> lan
[20:51] <Cpudan80> Sjimmie: That would be !ops -- but I wouldn't do that unless it's really bad
[20:51] <xiven> live boot had internet..then i installed..and it doesnt..only gets ahold of an IP
[20:51] <vile_maxim> theshadow: I think you need an entry in your host file... or you are having an unknown ServerName directive in your apache conf
[20:51] <lespea> do you have any eth{number} show up when you go ifconfig?
[20:51] <LjL> Cpudan80: i wouldn't do what he's done either
[20:51]  * ThipThip sees squeaky-wheel syndrome in action (shout and swear in caps, get attention fast!)
[20:51] <xiven> the dual-boted windows system works fine
[20:51] <lespea> ThipThip: lol wtf?
[20:51] <Cpudan80> LjL: Pretend to be the op :-) ?
[20:52] <Cpudan80> xiven: OK - can you ping your gateway?
[20:52] <vile_maxim> theshadow: I'm a little under teh weather, so it was kinda dumb for me to try and help today anyway.  good luck
[20:52] <misslecommander> Bo7a: ok
[20:52] <ThipThip> lespea:  that command is still.... still!
[20:52] <lespea> xiven: do you have any eth{number} show up when you go ifconfig?
[20:52] <Xintruder> sudo grep /boot/grub/menu.lst is not working. why?
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> ThipThip: Squeeky Wheel gets disassembled...  Pumped full of grease.. then spun hard...
[20:52] <badkitty> xiven: I have dual boot system with Ubuntu and Winxp wking fine, what is the problem
[20:52] <xiven> eth0, and no
[20:52] <Bo7a> anyone with expertise in resolution problems with nvidia and 7.10 that has a minute to spare plz PM me. I have done all the standard fixes (dpkg-reconf, reinstalled drivers, updated xorg.conf with xresprobe results, etc etc etc...) but to no avail. I'm just stumped
[20:52] <lespea> ThipThip: well, it goes through all your files and checks its name and file permissoins... so... yeah lol
[20:52] <Cpudan80> Xintruder: That doesn't make sense
[20:53] <Xintruder> I want to use grep editor!
[20:53] <Gizmo_The_Great> I have created a mount point to a disk as follows : /mnt/RAID. I have added an entry to fstab to that it auto mounts at boot. But I nly want myself and the wife to have access (read and write). What do I need to enter to achieve this? Currently I have : UUID Number  /mnt/RAID	   ext3	 	rw,user,auto	0       0
[20:53] <lespea> xiven: do you have an ip addy?
[20:53] <MasterShrek> Xintruder, grep isnt an editor
[20:53] <xiven> yes
[20:53] <Cpudan80> Xintruder: grep aint no editor
[20:53] <Creed> !uset autoinvite 1
[20:53] <ThipThip> lespea:  OK it just finished.  What am I looking for?
[20:53] <Cpudan80> Xintruder: Try vim instead of grep
[20:53] <vile_maxim> Xintruder: sudo grep Kernel /boot/grub/menu.ls
[20:53] <lespea> ThipThip: did anything show up?
[20:53] <vile_maxim> Xintruder: grep is not an editor
[20:53] <lespea> xiven: so you have an ip from your router that's correct, but you can't ping your router?
[20:53] <vile_maxim> Xintruder: it's a filter
[20:53] <Xintruder> Hmmm.. some editor starts with a g?
[20:53] <badkitty> Xintruder: nano is the default ubuntu editor
[20:53] <Tixer> Can someone help me getting Samba to work? For some reason, my username / password from sudo sudo  smbpasswd -a username
[20:53] <NickPresta> where is the location of the apache2 conf file when installed from the repos?
[20:53] <xiven> yuppers.
[20:53] <vile_maxim> gedit
[20:54] <lespea> xiven: wtf
[20:54] <Tixer> Can someone help me getting Samba to work? For some reason, my username / password from sudo sudo  smbpasswd -a username won't work.
[20:54] <Gizmo_The_Great> Xintruder, gmacs?
[20:54] <ThipThip> yes.  apart from the desktop, most of the files that showed up are in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib
[20:54] <Xintruder> gedit.. thats it lol....
[20:54] <misslecommander> Bo7a: just a thouhg, could the card be defective ? try in another machine maybe ?
[20:54] <robdig> Xintruder: gedit
[20:54] <Cpudan80> Xintruder: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst will prob do what you're thinking
[20:54] <Creed> oh great xchat commands are not server specific T_T
[20:54] <chazco> Hi... my USB keyboard doesnt always work when Ubuntu starts... it will start working if moved to a different USB card (regardless of which one it was on)... using some scripting I managed to get a dmesg output which shows that it is correctly detected... any ideas on fixing this?
[20:54] <xiven> yeah...i'd like to know the same thing
[20:54] <Cpudan80> VIM and nano are kinda... complicated
[20:54] <lespea> ThipThip: well all those files that showed up are executible, so....
[20:54] <lespea> ThipThip: if they're in lib, i'm not sure
[20:54] <badkitty> Cpudan80: nano is complicated?? how do you figure
[20:54] <lespea> ThipThip: you're going to have to find an expert in gdesklet
[20:55] <Cpudan80> badkitty: It doesn't have a gui lol
[20:55] <Bo7a> tried that as well missle. :/ i'm confused. I've been setting up X on bsd/linux for many years. and never has a quick edit of xorg/xfree and restart not worked
[20:55] <lespea> xiven: what's the output from the command route?
[20:55] <Cpudan80> badkitty: I use vim myself
[20:55] <lespea> Cpudan80: vim ftw!
[20:55] <Cpudan80> lespea: Yes!
[20:55] <ortodox> is there any antivirus soft for ubuntu?
[20:55] <Xintruder> I want to pass maxcpus=1 to the kernel, where do I type that in menu.lst?
[20:55] <Cpudan80> ortodox: You dont need it
[20:55] <Mudkipz> [12:59:41] ‹ ortodox › is there any antivirus soft for ubuntu?
[20:55] <Mudkipz> LOL?
[20:55] <Cpudan80> ortodox: But... AVG works in Ubuntu

[20:56] <ortodox> i just hate ms for that vista pressure
[20:56] <badkitty> antipop: This for nvidia drivers???
[20:56] <Cpudan80> badkitty: Vim has *excellent* highlighting --- plus you can run actuall commands from within it
[20:56] <Bo7a> apologies in advance for re-posting. I'm not trying to be a pain, just hoping someone new may see my plight and offer a hand
[20:56] <ThipThip> lespea:  OK!  Now when I run the "gdesklets-shell" in terminal, it says "connecting to daemon".... tells me that the daemon isn't working.  At least I have a lead!
[20:56] <Bo7a> anyone with expertise in resolution problems with nvidia and 7.10 that has a minute to spare plz PM me. I have done all the standard fixes (dpkg-reconf, reinstalled drivers, updated xorg.conf with xresprobe results, etc etc etc...) but to no avail. I'm just stumped
[20:56] <antipop> no for ati
[20:57] <Creed> Bo7a, what card?
[20:57] <Bizzeh> Cpudan80: the nix* virus database for avg is larger than the windows database
[20:57] <lespea> ThipThip: yeah, that's going into unkown territory for me, and i'm running kde so i can't really test it
[20:57] <badkitty> antipop: I believe it has a link in the system menu for that
[20:57] <Bo7a> nvidia 8500

[20:57] <Bo7a> Creed, nope, pci-e
[20:57] <^swb^> hello all, is there a channel for compiz fusion discussion?
[20:57] <Cpudan80> Bizzeh: And?
[20:57] <Xintruder> Cpudan80: where do I type this?
[20:58] <badkitty> ^swb^: Yes
[20:58] <Bizzeh> Cpudan80: and, bigger db = more virii to check for
[20:58] <Cpudan80> Xintruder: Dear god - open the terminal window - and type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:58] <eek> litlle help understanding ubuntu firewall please
[20:58] <misslecommander> Bo7a:  no wonder why, you have a blacklisted card :) its a very new card, i wouldnt even think anyone has a fix for such an issue
[20:58] <Creed> Bo7a, what error does it spit out when you go to terminal 7 (ctrl+alt+f7)?
[20:58] <lespea> xiven: and <IP_ADDRESS> is your router right?
[20:58] <LjL> eek: what firewall?
[20:58] <^swb^> badkitty... and what would it be?
[20:58] <badkitty> Bizzeh: How is virus db for linux larger than MS
[20:58] <antipop> badkitty, it says that "your systems dont need them" and button close?
[20:58] <Cpudan80> Bizzeh: He asked for an AV solution, that is one ---- you prob don't need it anyway
[20:58] <eek> LjL: that what i thought!!
[20:58] <anch> awe =)
[20:58] <Creed> ^swb^, for ubuntu its #ubuntu-effects
[20:58] <Bizzeh> there are actualy more ways into any one distribution of linux than there is in any one version of windows
[20:58] <^swb^> thnx
[20:58] <LjL> !firewall > eek    (eek, see the private message from Ubotu)
[20:58] <Bo7a> Creed, misslecommander, the card worked fine until yesterday. full compiz/accell everything
[20:58] <ortodox> hey guys can some tell me how to let users see my php files on ubuntu server?
[20:59] <Cpudan80> The likelyhood of getting a virus in *nix is so insignificant...
[20:59] <eek> ok port forwarding
[20:59] <Xintruder> Cpudan80: Dear god, You look like you have not read my last question.
[20:59] <Bizzeh> hahahahah
[20:59] <ortodox> i can open them from windows explorer localy
[20:59] <eek> LjL: ok port forwarding
[20:59] <Bo7a> no errors creed.
[20:59] <Bizzeh> you keep your puny little mind thinking that
[20:59] <Xintruder> But I got through it
[20:59] <Xintruder> thanks any way
[20:59] <eek> my bad
[20:59] <Cpudan80> Xintruder: I don't think I've ever said this before....
[20:59] <Cpudan80> Xintruder: Read the damn manual
[20:59] <LjL> eek: port forwarding... as in, you have another computer connected through your computer?
[20:59] <Creed> Bo7a, and you've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[20:59] <misslecommander> Bo7A: i had mine running great till i updated a few things, then i removed what i updated, and all was back to fine
[20:59] <ortodox> do i have to open ports for getting others to see my php files on ubuntu server?
[20:59] <badkitty> ^swb^: Actually try oiut #compiz-fusion
[20:59] <xiven> lespea did you get those results?
[21:00] <LjL> ortodox: if you have a router or something that closes them, i suppose so
[21:00] <Bo7a> Creed, Yup.
[21:00] <ortodox> since i can only get to them localy...in server i can ping www.google.com
[21:00] <Bo7a> misslecommander, yeah i'd imagine it was a round of updates done on friday. but i'm perplexed. I usually fix this stuff pretty quick
[21:00] <Xintruder> Cpudan80: You can either help with a friendly tone or shut up. I prefer no help then being spoken to that way.
[21:00] <KrisWood> ok I've reinstalled ubuntu yet again, still hanging on bootup at  "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)                                  [ OK ]" do I need to reinstall? :-/
[21:00] <lespea> xiven: yeah, i asked if <IP_ADDRESS> was your router -- must have gotten lost in all the talking
[21:00] <ortodox> <IP_ADDRESS>/test.php
[21:00] <Cpudan80> ortodox: No - just port 80 -- there is no firewall in the default config anyway
[21:00] <KrisWood> anyone, please?
[21:00] <xiven> yes it is
[21:00] <mattholimeau> does anyone know how to make the terminal automatically copy to clipboard anything that i highlight?
[21:00] <badkitty> Bizzeh: I have read several sources that say linux virus  total is less than a hundred whereas there are over 1000 virus created for MS products each month
[21:01] <KrisWood> is there a way to reconfigure this thing without reinstalling? :-/
[21:01] <eek> well i have a server and my box  I you my box thru ssh to run the sever.  i'm just setting this up and am having troubles with port on the server
[21:01] <lespea> xiven: well that makes no sense at all
[21:01] <xiven> why not?
[21:01] <eek> LjL: well i have a server and my box  I you my box thru ssh to run the sever.  i'm just setting this up and am having troubles with port on the server
[21:01] <Bizzeh> badkitty: FSF sponsored sources day that
[21:01] <LjL> ortodox: doesn't work
[21:01] <Bizzeh> independant sources such as AVG, do not
[21:01] <brobostigon> unix has less than 2 known virus
[21:01] <lespea> xiven: your *net should be working
[21:01] <xiven> wait, should that be a 255 number?
[21:01] <xiven> ohh ok
[21:01] <xiven> thats my thoughts
[21:01] <xiven> it makes no sense
[21:02] <Bo7a> brb. thanks for your input folks. gonna go smoke a death-stick and try not to pull my hair out.
[21:02] <misslecommander> Bo7a: if it worked before, i am sure it will work again. matter of time, the bugger shows its true colours
[21:02] <lespea> xiven: no it should be all 0s
[21:02] <xiven> huh?
[21:02] <lespea> xiven: wait, should that be a 255 number? :: no
[21:02] <Bo7a> misslecommander, hehe yupyup. I just dont get where the gui tools are pulling their info. if i could find that out i'd prolly have it handled. i KNOW my xorg is correct, but the gui tools won't allow me to select anything that is set in there
[21:02] <xiven> oohh
[21:03] <LjL> eek, if your machine and the server are connected directly, there should be nothing to set up at all. can you describe your setup more in detail? are the two machines connected via what - a router, a plain crossover cable?
[21:03] <xiven> it should be my router's ip right?
[21:03] <lespea> xiven: yeah
[21:03] <eek> LjL: lnksys router
[21:03] <xiven> well maybe it makes a difference..
[21:03] <Bo7a> xorg has full modelines for each mode, and defs are all set to my monitors native settings. but in the screen res, and screens displays gui tools, everything is locked at one res and 50hz
[21:03] <xiven> thats actually set in interfaces file
[21:03] <lespea> xiven: telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 80 :: does that work?
[21:03] <xiven> otherwise it has a *
[21:03] <Bo7a> nowim just babbling... Be back in a few, thanks to everyone who offerred suggestions
[21:04] <xiven> no route to host
[21:04] <lespea> figures
[21:04] <LjL> eek: and you can't ssh to the server from the other one?
[21:04] <lespea> can you pastebin your interface file?
[21:04] <misslecommander> Bo7a: quick thought: systax correct (spacing, typo, <tab>) ??
[21:04] <lespea> xiven: can you pastebin your interface file?
[21:04] <eek> LjL: my problem is when i open ports on the router for the server it wont recognize them.  I'm ssh in it now running azureus
[21:04] <silent__> what is the default vga setting if no vga=XXXX is specified in fstab?
[21:04] <brobostigon> it is in /etc/network/interfaces
[21:05] <kylemclellan> anyone help with virtual partitions on OSX ?
[21:05] <LjL> eek, there's nothing to recognize... a port is either open or not open. if they aren't working, then you didn't open them.
[21:05] <lespea> brobostigon: unix has less than 2 known virus ?? lol
[21:05] <eek> LjL: but Azureus says port failure, but the ports are open
[21:05] <digital00> I try to activate Compiz but it say "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
[21:05] <misslecommander> Bo7a: i asked, because i was doing something on grub, and i couldn figure out why it didnt work when i typed it, yet when i pasted it, it worked, simple type no space
[21:05] <digital00> why??
[21:06] <foxray> anyone know a tool where i can add 2 files into an iso image? I'm trying to flash my bios on my other comp so i can load ubuntu off a thumb drive
[21:06] <LjL> digital00: probably because they're not supported with your hardware.
[21:06] <eek> LjL: i'm looking at my SingleForward.asp screen right now and the box is enabled
[21:06] <kestir> foxray: cat
[21:06] <brobostigon> lespea: o read that this morning, no idea if it is true or noe
[21:06] <pinkbunny> Whoa city wide Comcast outage in Bellingham, Wa for a minute :S
[21:06] <lespea> brobostigon: no, it is not true
[21:06] <xiven> lespea > http://pastebin.com/m6e9c25f6
[21:06] <foxray> kestir: cat? how would that work?
[21:07] <kestir> foxray: have you used the cat command before?
[21:07] <badkitty> foxray: I know of a windows program called folder2iso
[21:07] <mattholimeau> bump: anyone if the option exists to cause the gnome-terminal to copy anything i highlight to the clipboard?
[21:07] <digital00> LjL: I got a  Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960....it's not so old... i bought it two months ago..
[21:07] <lostrose> hey there .. im somewhat of a newbie to linux and need some help too get my system up and running
[21:07] <lespea> xiven: and did you enter in that extra stuff for eth0?
[21:07] <foxray> yes kestir i'm a linux admin for a living
[21:07] <LjL> eek, no use to describe router setup screens to me, i've never had a router. if it's enabled and it's connected to the router directly, it really should work. there is *nothing* blocking ports by default on ubuntu, so if you didn't enable something yourself, opening the ports on the router *has* to be enough
[21:07] <nicolah> is there a video-player that can help me to synchronize the audio/video delay that sometime occurs ? thanks
[21:07] <Pricey> digital00, LjL, that card is blacklisted due to video playback issues.
[21:07] <kestir> foxray: and you asked how to combine two files into an iso?
[21:08] <Pricey> !cfblacklist | digital00
[21:08] <ubotu> digital00: Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu
[21:08] <LjL> !cfb
[21:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cfb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:08] <foxray> no no i need to add the files into the iso
[21:08] <kestir> foxray: Oh, my apologies!
[21:08] <IndyGunFreak> digital00: Pricey is right, you won't get that to work right now.
[21:08] <xiven> yes
[21:08] <xiven> it had * for a gateway until I put that there
[21:08] <emdash> how come I have two unsigned security updates?
[21:08] <emdash> xorg-server-core
[21:08] <emdash> and libxfont1
[21:08] <Cpudan80> lostrose: What's up?
[21:09] <emdash> that seems really suspicious
[21:09] <eek> LjL :(  on a side note why doe the azureuswiki have Port Forwarding on Linux, specifically Ubuntu?
[21:09] <LjL> emdash: there was a slight mess with xserver-xorg-core... however, they should definitely be signed...

[21:09] <lespea> xiven: just delete it then, have it just say `auto eth0 {newline} iface eth0 inet dhcp`
[21:09] <lespea> xiven: then `sudo ifdown eth0;sudo ifup eth0`
[21:09] <lostrose> Cpudan80: not much and even less on my comp..
[21:09] <LjL> eek: link?
[21:09] <lespea> xiven: just to see what happens

[21:09] <emdash> LjL: ok

[21:10] <digital00> Pricey: so I cant use Compiz...??
[21:10] <lostrose> Cpudan80: having probs with my soundcard and wine .... those are the most urgent i think
[21:10] <badkitty> digital00: Do you have a decent gfx card that supports open_gl?
[21:10] <Pricey> digital00, read what ubotu said
[21:11] <Cpudan80> lostrose: hrm... ok... no sound then I guess?
[21:11] <ubuntu> Hi, I need name of xorg driver "radeon     [genetic]" (number 7 in "xorgconf")
[21:11] <ubuntu> enyone know?
[21:11] <LjL> eek: Computers running Ubuntu, by default, come with all the ports locked down and you need to open the ports in ubuntu by using the iptables command. Other flavours of linux behave similarly <--- whoever wrote this was on drugs.
[21:11] <misslecommander> lespea: yu can link them together like that in terminal ? > `sudo ifdown eth0;sudo ifup eth0`
[21:11] <LjL> emdash: true, let me check what is going on with it.
[21:11] <xiven> no DHCPOFFERS received
[21:12] <xiven> and i lost my IP address
[21:12] <eek> LjL:  LMAO  that's why i'm here cause I don't think they know s%&*!!
[21:12] <lostrose> Cpudan80: when i boot up i get sound when i log in and then its gone .. theres also a high pitched soud..
[21:12] <misslecommander> with no DHCPOFFER no ip
[21:12] <lespea> misslecommander: ; is a command break, you can also go && and then if the first command returns an error code (non zero exit code) the second will not run
[21:12] <badkitty> misslecommander: does ; work the same way as && ??
[21:12] <lespea> xiven: well that makes more sense at least!
[21:12] <misslecommander> lespea: thank you good info
[21:12] <Cpudan80> lostrose: Maybe the mic mixer is turned on?
[21:12] <badkitty> misslecommander: lol k
[21:12] <xiven> ok
[21:13] <nika__> привет
[21:13] <xiven> What should I do about it
[21:13] <Ashfire908> i'm having trouble with alsa. a while ago it went nuts and locked up and i had to restart and now it alsa doesn't work.
[21:13] <lespea> xiven: and you said you duel boot and windows works fine?
[21:13] <nika__> есть тут кто нить?
[21:13] <xiven> yeah
[21:13] <nika__> ауууууу
[21:13] <Cpudan80> nika__: Ehh what?
[21:13] <Karyn_bear> how much does it cost to run a 100mb line from home?
[21:13] <lespea> xiven: you have a dhcp address in windows right?
[21:13] <eek> LjL:  how would I trouble shoot my problem to better understand where my issue is at?
[21:13] <LjL> !ru | nika__
[21:13] <ubotu> nika__: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке  / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke
[21:13] <xiven> yes
[21:13] <therethinker> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, I fixed it
[21:13] <lespea> xiven: it seams to me like it's a driver problem or something
[21:13] <xiven> well how do I check it with no connection
[21:14] <xiven> i cant tell it to update
[21:14] <Mudkipz> do a barrel roll!
[21:14] <misslecommander> xiven: you brodcast your SSID ? hidden ?
[21:14] <lostrose> Cpudan80: would that have an effect if i dont have an onboard mix.. the high pithed sound is only there salong as my sound then it also dissapears... this only happend when i installed 7.10
[21:14] <Karyn_bear> If i wanted to run a unbuntu home server, would it be cheaper to get a 100mb line from home or host it at ThePlanet?
[21:14] <lespea> xiven: have you looked up your nic card in the forums to see if others are having similar problems?
[21:14]  * KrisWood cries
[21:14] <digital00> !cfbl
[21:14] <xiven> yes..

[21:14] <lespea> xiven: lame.
[21:14] <xiven> coudn't find much though
[21:14] <KrisWood> I think I'm just gonna get the shovel out and bury this poor thing
[21:14] <Ashfire908> when i run speaker-test it says " unable to open slave" then that the device or reasource is busy
[21:14] <Cpudan80> lostrose: I dont really know to tell you the truth... sound isn't my forte...
[21:14] <LjL> eek, do you know which ports Azureus is supposed to use?
[21:15] <Cpudan80> lostrose: What's wrong with wine?
[21:15] <IndyGunFreak> kriswoodwhat poor thing?
[21:15] <KrisWood> LjL, any ports you want
[21:15] <badkitty> Karyn_bear: Hosting is generally much cheaper than running a decent server from home
[21:15] <lespea> xiven: yeah sorry, i've got nothing atm :/
[21:15] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, My ubuntu unstall
[21:15] <IndyGunFreak> can't be that bad
[21:15] <LjL> emdash, it seems that page was taken offline due to it being obsolete. let me see if i can dig the key for the security repo and the command to add it...
[21:15] <lespea> xiven: type `dmesg|grep {nic card}
[21:15] <KrisWood> an hour later it's still hanging on bootup at  "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)                                  [ OK ]"
[21:15] <eek> LjL: is a big range  like 4000-6000
[21:16] <Karyn_bear> badkitty: thanks
[21:16] <badkitty> xiven: How is your router set up... perhaps if you cant get an IP address, it is in the configuration (WPA vs. WEP etc
[21:16] <lespea> xiven: see if there's an error there
[21:16] <xiven> umm
[21:16] <LjL> eek: ok, let's pick one... type "netcat -l -p 4000"
[21:16] <lespea> badkitty: he gets ip fine w/windows through dhcp
[21:16] <lespea> badkitty: and he's using lan
[21:16] <xiven> I'vegot a realtek RTL8139/x810, so what should i put in the command for that?
[21:16] <badkitty> Karyn_bear: I have seen hosts as low as free a month... this is for a web server again right?
[21:16] <lespea> xiven: eh, just put in rtl8139, maybe even rtl
[21:16] <misslecommander> xiven: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[21:17] <lespea> xiven: *you may want to pipe that into less to view it
[21:17] <Karyn_bear> yeah
[21:17] <lespea> misslecommander: he's not using wireless
[21:17] <misslecommander> 8139 common
[21:17] <KrisWood> I'm thoroughly stumped. I've reinstalled twice, both times I get stuck here :(
[21:17] <lostrose> Cpudan80: i got it working .. I can install exe files but some freeze the system and others start running but wont let me select any menu's.. i click on them and they show up for a mili second and then there gone and im back where i started
[21:17] <badkitty> lespea: Yeah but if he is using WPA-2 you have to request for the IP a little differently (atleast through the GUI Ive noticed)
[21:17] <lespea> badkitty: he's not using wireless!
[21:17] <silent__> I've accidentally created a malformed fstab, and my system remounts read-only as a result. How can I get my system to boot writable so I can restore my fstab?
[21:17] <badkitty> lespea: I just read that....
[21:17] <lespea> badkitty: k lol
[21:17] <badkitty> lespea: hmmmm....
[21:17] <Cpudan80> lostrose: What kinds of things are you using in wine?
[21:17] <eek> LjL:netcat -l -p 44444
[21:18] <KrisWood> :(
[21:18] <eek> Can't grab <IP_ADDRESS>:44444 with bind
[21:18] <lespea> silent__: use the linux live cd
[21:18] <LjL> eek: 4000 not 44444 (although both should work really)
[21:18] <robdig> silent__: boot off of live cd, then mount your hard drive, then edit the fstab
[21:18] <silent__> lespea: the boot cd is not available at the moment
[21:18] <silent__> robdig: same
[21:18] <badkitty> lespea: I think it may be beneficial to strum through the router configuration .. it could be an issue with the router and linux ... or router permissions
[21:18] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, any ideas? :-/
[21:18] <lostrose> i tried hitman2 it just freezes up the system.. the other program is testout.. i need it for studying ....
[21:19] <robdig> robdig: can you get into recovery mode in rw?
[21:19] <IndyGunFreak> KrisWood, don't even know what the prob is.
[21:19] <badkitty> Im outtie.. anyone seen cloverfield? Im about to go see it?
[21:19] <randomshadowbm1> i have a chroot
[21:19] <LetoII> hi
[21:19] <lespea> badkitty: if windows get an addy through dhcp then it should be not probelm for linux, i mean its not like the format of the traffic changes
[21:19] <randomshadowbm1> now how do i get flash?
[21:19] <eek> LjL: 44444 was the port i opened earlier.  my rang was off it 5 digits
[21:19] <lespea> silent__: you may have to get a live cd...
[21:19] <zriyac> who can help me configure PPPOE?
[21:19] <lostrose> Cpudan80: i tried hitman2 it just freezes up the system.. the other program is testout.. i need it for studying ....
[21:19] <lespea> lostrose: LOL
[21:20] <lespea> lostrose: oh, nvm lol
[21:20] <lespea> lostrose: i thought you said you need hitman for studying lol
[21:20] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, I guess it got lost in all the chatter so you didn't see it: I've reinstalled twice now, and still the system hangs at "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)                                  [ OK ]" on boot up
[21:20] <robdig> silent__: can you get into recovery mode in rw or is that in ro too?
[21:20] <badkitty> lespea: true but it caould be recognized as a different user, and depending on his router setup, may inallow that new user... happened to me before thats all Im sayin
[21:20] <xiven> well thats all good
[21:20] <Cpudan80> lostrose: Maybe the gfx is too intensive for wine?
[21:20] <xiven> but my card isnt wireless
[21:20] <silent__> robdig: it goes ro as well
[21:20] <lespea> badkitty: are you referring to mac address filtering?
[21:20] <eek> LjL:  it hasn't spit out a responce yet?
[21:20] <silent__> robdig: are there any available grub edits to help?
[21:20] <Duffzyn> =]
[21:20] <emdash> LjL: did you ever find the security repo thing?
[21:20] <mattholimeau> chimp: look for some compiz config walkthroughs in google. there's a bunch of stuff to find.
[21:21] <badkitty> lespea: No it was something else.. I gotta go though bbl
[21:21] <chimp> ?
[21:21] <lostrose> Cpudan80: lol.....  that might be but the studying prog is really low on gfx
[21:21] <IndyGunFreak> KrisWood, have you tried disableing apci?
[21:21] <IndyGunFreak> or whatever it is.
[21:21] <chimp> mattholimeau, ?
[21:21] <zriyac> hello, can anybody help me configure PPPOE?
[21:21] <zk> peopele...is there any way i can reinstall ubuntu without loosing any data ar settings? :D
[21:21] <emdash> LjL: i'm not really sure what you're refering to. if you could just elaborate a bit, i can google the rest
[21:21] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, I'm not sure what that is or how to disable it
[21:21] <LjL> eek: it wasn't supposed to. so now have is it running on a port that *is* open (or at least supposed to), and that's 44444?
[21:21] <mattholimeau> anyone if the option exists to cause the gnome-terminal to copy anything i highlight to the clipboard?
[21:21] <Cpudan80> lostrose: I would ask #wine-hq
[21:21] <mattholimeau> chimp: nevermind, it was a bit ago you were asking
[21:21] <IndyGunFreak> KrisWood, it has to be done on the bootline, an truthfully, i'm not sure how to do it, i imagine LJL does
[21:21] <dissident> hi
[21:21] <lespea> zk: yes, when you get to the partioning part, re-use your /home partition but format the others
[21:21] <Cpudan80> lostrose: Ehh #winehq maybe? I'm not sure what the channel is
[21:22] <chimp> What did i ask?
[21:22] <LjL> emdash, i'm referring to the fact that repositories have a GPG key that your computer checks against when fetching packages from them. if you, for some reason (it happens sometimes), don't have such key listed on your computer, apt will complain
[21:22] <lespea> zk: wait, did you set up a home partition?
[21:22] <dissident> isn't there something faster than pan as newsreader
[21:22] <eek> LjL:  you lost me there.  uhm azureus is running on port 44444
[21:22] <IndyGunFreak> KrisWood, can you get to a command prompt if you boot in safe mode?
[21:22] <Chewy954> whats the best macro maker for linux?
[21:22] <zk> lespea: hmm...no just the "/" and the swap
[21:22] <lespea> dissident: telnet?
[21:22] <dissident> telenet
[21:22] <robdig> silent__: grub only controls the boot...so don't think any options will impact mounting...
[21:22] <lespea> zk: well... that sucks -- i hate that ubuntu defaults to that... so stupid
[21:23] <dissident> klibido is faster
[21:23] <lespea> zk: don't do that from now on lol
[21:23] <eek> LjL:  you're GOOD!!  i can see you're quite the multi tasker
[21:23] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, I didn't even know ubuntu had a safe mode, how do I get there?
[21:23] <LjL> eek, please, close whatever is running that may be trying to bind to ports. then type "netcat -l -p <a-port-that-you-have-opened-on-your-router>", and let me know which port it is
[21:23] <eek> yup
[21:23] <lostrose> Cpudan80: ill give that a shot... Do u know anything about installing atheros5007eg wireless card
[21:23] <dissident> lespea:telenet but klibido is fast
[21:23] <rconnell> Hi, does anyone know where the overscan slider is in the nvidia-settings gui? I am reading all about it but maybe I am using an old version?
[21:24] <IndyGunFreak> KrisWood, when you reboot, you'll see your grub menu(if you don't, hit esc till you do), you have 2 options, 1 is regular, 1 is recovery mode..
[21:24] <silent__> robdig: can anything be done during the boot process or in ro mode to force reverting to write mode
[21:24] <IndyGunFreak> *sorry, meant recovery mode, not safe.
[21:24] <Cpudan80> lostrose: I have an atheros card --- not sure about the version, it works fine...
[21:24] <Cpudan80> lostrose: It's a 5212
[21:24] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, I can get to the recovery console via the install CD
[21:24] <dissident> can someone tell me how to change or get a admin pass
[21:24] <IndyGunFreak> KrisWood, but can you do it from your grub menu was the question..
[21:24] <eek> LjL:  same responce  netcat -l -p 4000
[21:24] <Cpudan80> lostrose: I might have had to enable a restricted driver for it -- lemme see
[21:24] <eek> Can't grab <IP_ADDRESS>:4000 with bind
[21:25] <emdash> LjL: ok, i'll look into it
[21:25] <dissident> i need one for getting acces to another hdd
[21:25] <kestir> dissident: admin pass? you mean root password?
[21:25] <zk> hei...does ubuntu make backups itself? :D
[21:25] <dissident> kestir:yes
[21:25] <Chewy954> whats the best macro recorder for linux?
[21:25] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, no, I cannot see my grub menu, this is on a box three thousand miles away, it goes by in the blink of an eye
[21:25] <dissident> i cannot change passwd in terminal
[21:25] <brobostigon> zk: no
[21:25] <Cpudan80> lostrose: Yeah I did -- enable Atheros hardware access layer (or some such thing) under System -- Admin -- Restricted...
[21:25] <kestir> dissident: you're logged in?
[21:26] <dissident> yes
[21:26] <LjL> emdash: should be « gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5 ; gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add - » - although, of course i might be the one tampering with your connection in the first place and giving you the wrong key ;)
[21:26] <dissident> i cannot log in as root
[21:26] <IndyGunFreak> KrisWood, well, if you hit Esc(It should give you a 2sec countdown), you'll see two menu options, the first one is the main one, the second one is recovery mode.
[21:26] <dissident> at least not with my own passw
[21:26] <KrisWood> IndyGunFreak, ok got it
[21:26] <kestir> dissident: reboot into single user mode
[21:26] <brobostigon> dissident: youre  not ment to be able to log in as root directly, use sudo insted.
[21:26] <lostrose> Cpudan80: mine is enabled but for some reason it's not picked up if i lspci it...
[21:26] <Kungen354646> can any1 help me with a trust/aiptek tablet?
[21:27] <dissident> it's for accessing another hdd
[21:27] <dissident> that is all i want
[21:27] <Cpudan80> lostrose: Is it turned on? My laptop has an on/off switch for it
[21:27] <brobostigon> dissident: sudo mount
[21:27] <dissident> how to get into single user mode
[21:27] <eek> LjL: just to dble check i'm running these commands on the server's terminal correct?
[21:28] <brobostigon> dissident: in grub, linux single
[21:28] <lostrose> Cpudan80: yeah mine too it's swithed on at the moment... it has led indicator....and it too shows that that its online
[21:28] <dissident> ok, i try that
[21:28] <LjL> eek: yes, if my understanding is correct that the server is connected directly to the router and it's the server that should be able to listed on those ports
