[12:02] <imbecile> hey guys, how do i make a program that doesnt need to run by root  require root  privs?
[12:03] <fatespeaks> vox754, I figured that may the sound app were connecting directly to my card and not going through ALSA.  Does that make sense?  I'll look into proprietary drivers though.
[12:03] <d4rkmonkey> imbecile, why do you want to do that?
[12:03] <lazaro> d4rkmonkey:  thanks for the help anyway! :) I'll give a try on it, and try also the 32bits version of feisty
[12:03] <pike_> imbecile: just to be safe what app is it?
[12:03] <imbecile> d4rkmonkey,  my roommate just discovered bittorrenting ;P
[12:04] <d4rkmonkey> no problem lazaro
[12:04] <treyesh> Im using a toshiba Satellite and I cant hear sound
[12:04] <imbecile> pike_,  its azureus.. my roommate just discovered btttorrenting
[12:04] <fedor-emelianenk> why all developers use linux? is there a reason for that?
[12:04] <pike_> !sound | treyesh
[12:04] <ubotu> treyesh: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:05] <pike_> treyesh: ive had good luck with satellites under linux btw
[12:05] <treyesh> it is alsa
[12:05] <vox754> fatespeaks, good luck finding proprietary drivers.
[12:05] <Niklas_E> is there any package that contains this function? php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed:
[12:05] <joshritger> does anyone know how to access a wifi network that uses a wpa not a wep?
[12:05] <pike_> imbecile: im not sure id want to run a p2p app with root priv. id probably just delete it as he can just install it in his home dir
[12:06] <MajorPayne> Is there an applet out there that can manage sshfs mounts?
[12:06] <fedor-emelianenk> is true that all software developers are using linux?
[12:06] <imbecile> pike_,  ok thanks... that  sounds like a good idea actually
[12:06] <MrXorg> Whats the best way to install an .rpm?
[12:06] <treyesh> what hould i do
[12:07] <treyesh> what should i do
[12:07] <MajorPayne> fedor-emelianenk: Umm.  No, not all software developers use Linux.
[12:07] <pike_> MrXorg: very carefully. :) use alien to conver to deb then sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[12:07] <pike_> MrXorg: most apps are in repos though what is it?
[12:07] <vox754> imbecile, yes, you may create separate accounts and disallowing him the privileges to run applications, you could "sudo chmod go-rwx <azureus-executable>" so nobody but the owner has privileges and also "sudo chown root <azureus-executable>" something along that
[12:08] <MrXorg> pike: a version of snort.rpm
[12:08] <vox754> MrXorg, if there is a rpm, there most probably is a deb also, or you can fetch the source directly yourself.
[12:08] <imbecile> vox754, pike_ , thanks
[12:08] <Mauro22> l
[12:08] <treyesh> how do i install drivers to here sound
[12:08] <pike_> MrXorg: snort is in universe you just looking for another version?
[12:08] <fatespeaks> vox754, Thanks, I'll figure something out.  I just wanted to voice the issue here an case any already knew an answer.  Figuring stuff out is half the fun of Linux.  ;)
[12:09] <vox754> fatespeaks, aye
[12:09] <fedor-emelianenk> majorpayne: last two months all linux distributions have been loosing digits on the Hits Per Day of distrowatch.com Do you know why this is happening? I noticed this and I became very worried!!!
[12:09] <erUSUL> |sound | treyesh
[12:09] <MrXorg> pike: I already have a version of it I'm just trying to go by the directions so I can compile it right
[12:09] <treyesh> help

[12:09] <Mauro22> Hi, Does Anybody know a IRC hannel Like This But In Spanish???
[12:09] <MajorPayne> fedor-emelianenk: No, I do not.
[12:09] <pike_> treyesh: do a google search like 'site:ubuntuforums.org sound laptopmodel' <--is best bet
[12:09] <MajorPayne> fedor-emelianenk: But I also don't really care.
[12:09] <pike_> MrXorg: oh
[12:09] <Agrajag> !es|Mauro
[12:09] <ubotu> Mauro: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:10] <MrXorg> pike: I'm trying to compile with ACID and mysql
[12:10] <imbecile> fatespeaks,  yeah you are right... i look at using linux like putting together a model
[12:10] <MrXorg> Any idea?
[12:11] <pike_> MrXorg: sorry no.
[12:11] <Arko> how can i check which version of Java (5 or 6) is installed?
[12:11] <supremesonic> arko, java -version
[12:12] <Syco54645> i am about to update to feisty
[12:12] <Arko> supremesonic: thanx. It shows me 1.6.0. Is it 6?
[12:13] <supremesonic> arko,  java 6 = 1.6.0
[12:13] <Syco54645> but the update manager lists a few recommended updates that are greyed out (totem, libggi2, mplayer, totem-mozilla).  how do i get these to update?
[12:13] <Arko> supremesonic: Thank you.
[12:14] <d4rkmonkey> just thought you guys might enjoy this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPE9-YozpyQ&eurl=http://divineomega.co.uk/open-source/do-not-install-linux-on-the-toilet
[12:14] <d4rkmonkey> o_O should cut out that eurl thing..

[12:14] <fatespeaks> I am also trying to fix a Display  issue.  I have a Matrox TripleHead2Go box that makes 3 monitors look like 1 3840x1024 monitor to the PC.  I have already configured a modeline that works.  I would like Xinerama-like functionality that allows me to maximize to on display instead of all 3.  Any ideas?
[12:15] <vox754> !offtopic | d4rkmonkey
[12:15] <ubotu> d4rkmonkey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:15] <d4rkmonkey> vox its about linux ;)
[12:15] <d4rkmonkey> close enough :P
[12:15] <vox754> d4rkmonkey, you can have all the fun you want in offtopic
[12:15] <vox754> !away > shwouchk
[12:16] <d4rkmonkey> does it really matter if I say one thing off topic?
[12:16] <osman> hi, i have question re 32 bit lib for AMD64 with feisty
[12:16] <d4rkmonkey> I'm not having a full conversation and cluttering up the channel by saying one thing
[12:16] <vox754> d4rkmonkey, it is a matter of principles.
[12:16] <amorphous_> jrib - i'm having issues with the vnc thing - do you know if there's any reason why I'm getting 'channel 3 open failed' 'administratively prohibited' errors... i'm trying to connect to marshcast@ipaddress - should I be trying to connect to root (i have ssh to root turned off for securiy)
[12:16] <osman> where can i get 32 bit lib libg2c ?
[12:16] <amorphous_> ?
[12:16] <logreeval> Hi, should I set Firestarter firewall to go on startup, i installed it, but it nevers runs...
[12:17] <ans_> oh man I have major issues, I was installing ubuntu using instlux and it hung while installing. I soft rebooted and now I get "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 15" It's a dual-boot machine, but I can't get beyond this point and get into Windows to restart instlux. My laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive or floppy drive and I was doing a net install. Any way to get around this to get back to Windows?
[12:17] <d4rkmonkey> vox754, I don't think theres anything wrong with me pasting one link to a funny video about linux here.
[12:17] <vox754> d4rkmonkey, I assume you are not an adult
[12:18] <d4rkmonkey> vox754, no, I am not. But making comments like that doesn't make you sound more mature than me.
[12:18] <Billy> how do I get my self in to the ubotu
[12:18] <amorphous_> or anyone else that could possibly tell me about vnc ^^^
[12:18] <vox754> osman, "aptitude search libg2c"
[12:18] <vox754> !vnc
[12:18] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[12:18] <osman> thx
[12:19] <Billy> bot
[12:19] <vox754> Billy, "/query ubotu"
[12:19] <maynards-girl> this is more of a general linux question, but in windows i type "netstat -n", what do i type in linux to see the same thing?
[12:19] <intangir> maynards-girl: ya
[12:20] <Billy> Vox754: thank you
[12:20] <maynards-girl> intangir, ya? i dont have that command
[12:20] <osman> vox754. I am only getting the 64 bit libs, is there some option to search for 32 bits?
[12:20] <marfeath> does an ntfs drive have to be defragged before it can be resized?
[12:21] <ans_> how can I get around a GRUB error 15 on startup?
[12:21] <vox754> osman, oh, mmm... probably because you have the 64 bit repositories enabled. Try browsing the 32 bit repositories manually
[12:21] <vox754> ans_, reinstalling GRUB
[12:22] <g[r] eek> hi, in ubuntu networking (/etc/networking/interfaces), setting static eth0, what does the "broadcast" attribute refer to?
[12:22] <vox754> marfeath, it is recommended. I defraged my drive like 10 times because I wanted to be sure.
[12:22] <ans_> vox754, I don't have any external devices, I was doing a net install.
[12:23] <vox754> g[r] eek, maybe you read "man interfaces"
[12:23] <Billy> in windows I look up my mac address with "ipconfig /all"   how do I do this in Ubuntu?
[12:23] <georgy28> Billy, : ifconfig
[12:23] <vox754> ans_, then maybe you need the Ubuntu CD to reinstall grub.
[12:23] <preaction> Billy: ifconfig and/or iwconfig
[12:23] <maynards-girl> billy, i think it's ifconfig
[12:23] <erUSUL> Billy: ifconfig -a
[12:23] <ans_> vox754, I don't have a CD-ROM drive, nor floppy.
[12:23] <Billy> interface  thank you  I forgot...
[12:24] <amorphous_> can anyone tell me about vnc connections (specifically 'channel 3 administratively prohibited') error messages? I can ssh into the machine fine, but not vnc...?
[12:24] <ans_> vox754, it's a fujitu lifebook b2630
[12:24] <maynards-girl> this is more of a general linux question, but in windows i would type "netstat -n", what do i type in linux to see the same thing/result?
[12:24] <vox754> ans_, Is that one from 1996?
[12:24] <erUSUL> maynards-girl: netstat -n
[12:24] <shwouchk> for some reason knetworkmanager fails to connect me to wireless networks - my nix alreasy autoassociates and all that is left for the connection to work is just running dhclient (which I end up running manually)... what could cause this?
[12:24] <erUSUL> maynards-girl: most windows tcp/ip utils come from unix ;)
[12:25] <MajorPayne> What package do I install for gnome development?
[12:25] <ans_> vox754, not sure when it came out, it's second-hand
[12:25] <maynards-girl> erusul, thanks! i feel stupid now
[12:25] <maynards-girl> i learn a little each day :)
[12:25] <shwouchk> for some reason knetworkmanager fails to connect me to wireless networks - my nix alreasy autoassociates and all that is left for the connection to work is just running dhclient (which I end up running manually)... In addition, even after I manually connect to a network, networkmanager shows me as offline... what could cause this?
[12:26] <vox754> ans_, you could try some very weird stuff using a network install, running the CD from another PC, but I have really no experience.
[12:26] <erUSUL> maynards-girl: no problem. i usually use this 'netstat -putan' ;)
[12:26] <vox754> shwouchk, a bad driver. Broadcom?
[12:26] <ScottLij> can you record the audio output (audio that goes to the speakers) into a mp3 file in Ubuntu?
[12:26] <MajorPayne> What package do I install for gnome development?
[12:26] <d4rkmonkey> for everyone except vox754, as he doesn't seem interest in my "off topic" links, http://www.zachisbored.com/penguinLifeSafetyCompany.jpg Got it off of digg
[12:27] <maynards-girl> erusul, thank you! that is exactly what i was looking for :) :)
[12:27] <shwouchk> vox754: indeed, but Im using the latest windows driver via ndiswrapper
[12:27] <erUSUL> maynards-girl: your wellcome
[12:28] <vox754> shwouchk, mmm... yeah. Well, good luck.
[12:28] <shwouchk> vox754: :(

[12:28] <g[r] eek> instead of waiting for dhcpdiscover
[12:29] <TurtleBoots> how would it break the machine very badly vox754?

[12:33] <d4rkmonkey> yes SimplySeth

[12:33] <SimplySeth> d4rkmonkey:  thank you
[12:33] <SimplySeth> *doh*
[12:33] <jrib> SimplySeth: no, only ubuntu debs
[12:33] <d4rkmonkey> preaction?
[12:33] <preaction> SimplySeth: packages built for debian cannot be installed into ubuntu, in most cases
[12:33] <preaction> SimplySeth: .deb packages built for ubuntu can be installed in ubuntu
[12:33] <d4rkmonkey> SimplySeth, from my understanding, .debs can be installed in Ubuntu, but it is better to use the repositories
[12:34] <BeastlykingsIsMe> How do I open .rar files in Ubuntu?
[12:34] <preaction> d4rkmonkey, SimplySeth: there are two different concepts here. .deb packages and packages for Debian.

[12:44] <PurpZeY> !ati | arben
[12:44] <ubotu> arben: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:44] <g[r] eek> the router supports dhcp
[12:44] <__david> I have an audigy 2zs and an integrated sound mobo (asus p5b) and neither sound output works--also doesn't even detect them
[12:44] <g[r] eek> thus i tried both dhcp and static on my linux box
[12:44] <chadeldridge> Does anyone know when Gnome 2.19 is coming out ?
[12:44] <d4rkmonkey> does anyone know if theres a .deb I can download for pidgin anywhere? I don't like gaim, but I've tried pidgin and its soo much better
[12:44] <__david> What should I do to enable these devices?
[12:44] <LeoDioxide_> are you using a straight through cable?
[12:44] <mastager> chadeldridge: if you create a new user is it in the correct location?
[12:44] <amorphous_> if I want to use vnc, do I have to ssh into the remote server as root???
[12:44] <FunnyLookinHat> nj786, sorry I had to run...   just remove the entry that refers to Xchat and Terminal
[12:44] <evri2> chadeldridge:when it is ready.
[12:44] <BeastlykingsIsMe> how do I make a cd bootable without an .iso file?
[12:44] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_ yeah ive tested cable on windows pc and it works
[12:44] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Why not download it from pidgin.im ?
[12:45] <d4rkmonkey> pidgin.im? I'll try that
[12:45] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: can you ping the windows pc, or can you never get an IP?
[12:45] <g[r] eek> its definately not the hardware
[12:45] <chadeldridge> evri2:  thanks that was tons of help ... ill print that on TP so i can wipe my bum with it
[12:45] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, I don't think theres a .deb
[12:45] <BeastlykingsIsMe> how do I make a cd bootable without an .iso file?
[12:45] <d4rkmonkey> how hard is it to install from source?
[12:45] <nj786> FunnyLookinHat: ok where is it under
[12:45] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: really simple.
[12:45] <chadeldridge> mastager:  nope .. same for all users ... i just found that it was a known issue with 2.18 but its fixed in 2.19 ... although no idea when 2.19 releases
[12:45] <nj786> FunnyLookinHat: what tab?
[12:45] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: 3 commands.
[12:45] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: when pinging windows pc (on lan) destination host unreachable
[12:46] <FunnyLookinHat> nj786, Startup Programs
[12:46] <LeoDioxide_> are both pcs on the same subnet?
[12:46] <Hatty> http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNineteen
[12:46] <kijjaz> for __david's question, should alsaconf be used? and how do we find alsaconf in Ubuntu?
[12:46] <mastager> chadeldridge: sorry dude
[12:46] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, can you send me commands in a query?
[12:46] <nj786> FunnyLookinHat: ok i dont see IRC anywhere
[12:46] <g[r] eek> yup, <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:46] <g[r] eek> both 192.168.0.x
[12:46] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: and your ethernet card is working in linux, module loaded and all that?
[12:46] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: It's in the package in a readme type file... it's just ./configure, make, sudo make install
[12:46] <FunnyLookinHat> nj786, then it's probably starting up from somewhere else...  I don't know where else it could be though   : (   sorry
[12:46] <BKISME> how do I make a cd bootable without an .iso file?
[12:46] <d4rkmonkey> ok
[12:47] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: You'll also need the build-essentials package.
[12:47] <evilfourzero> hey, can someone here please cat /proc/filesystems, and pastebin the output for me?
[12:47] <g[r] eek> (addresses)
[12:47] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_ as far as i can tell yes. perhaps a command to tst?
[12:47] <g[r] eek> *test
[12:47] <g[r] eek> ifconfig returns eth0 - but tahts just the /etc/network/interfaces file i think
[12:47] <d4rkmonkey> thanks PurpZeY
[12:47] <BKISME> how do I make a cd bootable without an .iso file?
[12:47] <g[r] eek> ie: eth0 shows up. so i assume that network car correctly installed/recognised
[12:47] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: No worries...I'll be here if you run into a program...Hopefully I can help...=)
[12:47] <cellfish> hey guys
[12:47] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: lspci should show your ethernet card as being detected, then you can look for the corresponding module with lsmod
[12:48] <g[r] eek> yeah lspci shows ethernet controller (realtek) which is my network card
[12:48] <g[r] eek> lsmod?
[12:48] <LeoDioxide_> yeah
[12:48] <Judg3_Dr34D> geia sou ellada
[12:49] <g[r] eek> kalispera
[12:49] <Judg3_Dr34D> :)
[12:49] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: how do i make it lsmod page by page
[12:49] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: lsmod | more
[12:49] <g[r] eek> ok, and im looking for eth0?
[12:50] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: you should have rt###x or something close to that
[12:50] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, just installed build-essential, how do I used configure?
[12:50] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Did you download pidgin?
[12:50] <d4rkmonkey> yeah
[12:50] <evilfourzero> hey, can someone here please cat /proc/filesystems, and pastebin the output for me?
[12:50] <d4rkmonkey> I'm in the directory that i downloaded the .tar.bz2 to..
[12:50] <d4rkmonkey> do I need to extract it first or something?
[12:50] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Yeah...extract it
[12:50] <d4rkmonkey> ok
[12:51] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I usually use /home/apps/
[12:51] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: nope nothing there of that sort
[12:51] <John2> how can you make vlc player or kino to look at s-video input?
[12:51] <LeoDioxide_> whats your NIC card?
[12:51] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: So it'd be /home/apps/pidgin
[12:51] <d4rkmonkey> ok
[12:51] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: what like the make? its a realtek
[12:52] <WaxyFresh> anyone ever setup a ati radeon 1150?
[12:52] <John`> anyone know?
[12:52] <LeoDioxide_> I guess you could try modprobe 8139too, but it helps to know the make for the exact module
[12:52] <d4rkmonkey> ok PurpZeY after I extract what do I do?
[12:52] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: ah yes 8139 stuff pops up in lsmod
[12:52] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Open a terminal
[12:52] <d4rkmonkey> yeah
[12:53] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Then run the command ./configure
[12:53] <g[r] eek> 8139cp,8139too,sis900
[12:53] <g[r] eek> next to module called "mii"
[12:53] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: That will do a whole bunch of things
[12:53] <d4rkmonkey> uhh
[12:53] <Takesinn> Ey guys
[12:53] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: thats good, so your have your NIC and it's loaded, is your broadcast address and routing table correct?
[12:53] <Takesinn> Banshee shows foren characters wrong
[12:53] <Takesinn> It's like weird boxes with numbers and stuff
[12:53] <arben> ty _ubotu_

[12:53] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:53] <Takesinn> How do I change the font in Banshee?
[12:53] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[12:53] <vox754> !thanks | arben
[12:53] <ubotu> arben: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[12:53] <d4rkmonkey> got that error
[12:53] <LeoDioxide_> <IP_ADDRESS> for broadcast, <IP_ADDRESS> for subnet
[12:53] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: You must be in the same dir as you extracted the source
[12:54] <d4rkmonkey> I was.
[12:54] <John`> how can you make vlc player or kino to look at s-video input?
[12:54] <d4rkmonkey> o_O
[12:54] <d4rkmonkey> might not have been.. let me try again
[12:54] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: You have to not have been.
[12:54] <d4rkmonkey> lol, yeah I wasn't
[12:54] <d4rkmonkey> I was in /apps
[12:55] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: im not sure what to set the broadcast address to?
[12:55] <g[r] eek> i know how to set it though
[12:55] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:55] <d4rkmonkey> o_O says I didn't have GLib
[12:55] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: also, if you have more than 1 NIC, maybe an onboard ethernet port, you might have to bring up eth1 with the same info
[12:55] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Ok, that means you need another package, one sec, I'll get you the exact name
[12:55] <d4rkmonkey> ok
[12:55] <d4rkmonkey> thanks PurpZeY
[12:56] <WaxyFresh> whats the apt-get to install beryl?
[12:56] <LeoDioxide_> apt-get install beryl
[12:56] <PurpZeY> WaxyFresh: beryl
[12:56] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: i tried configuring an eth1 earlier and it failed
[12:56] <WaxyFresh> hi im following the directions at:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766&highlight=how+to+xgl+session to install a ati driver.but it stalls at:sudo module-assistant build fglrx
[12:56] <WaxyFresh> thanks
[12:56] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: is <IP_ADDRESS> the fixed broadcast address for all installations?
[12:56] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: device not found?
[12:56] <WaxyFresh> PurpZeY: what the command to start it alt-f2?
[12:56] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: yeah
[12:57] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: so you only have 1 port then, whats your /etc/resolv.conf look like?
[12:57] <Masai47> I a new to Ubuntu and set up a dual boot everything worked fine but after logging into windows and then back into Ubuntu the title bar on all my windows were missing, any suggestions on how to fix this?  also if I open the terminal a white box appears but I can no text.
[12:57] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Which glib does it say?
[12:57] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: resolv.conf just has the two dns servers
[12:57] <d4rkmonkey> it says
[12:58] <d4rkmonkey> GLib 2.0 development headers
[12:58] <PurpZeY> Ok.
[12:58] <WaxyFresh> how do you start beryl after instaling it with apt-get?
[12:58] <thedonvaughn> Masai47, sounds like you're runing compiz or beryl and it's using the wrong GL libraries
[12:58] <Masai47> nope
[12:58] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: can I see your output of ifconfig? just pm me

[01:03] <aboutblank> I'm trying to install using raid 1 with mdadm. I'll boot alternate, make my partitions on each drive, and go to configure software raid, and somehow it magically already knows about the raid, but it only uses 1 drive. It makes a raid 1 with 1 drive and makes md0 without me doing it! I cannot delete the device because it says it's in use. Any ideas?
[01:03] <PurpZeY> sindre: sudo apt-get build-essential
[01:03] <sindre> thnks

[01:03] <LeoDioxide_> aboutblank: umount /dev/md0, and then play with the settings, info is stored on the drives to make assembling them later easier
[01:03] <PurpZeY> Fathefner: I don't think you can...You'd have to unmount it
[01:04] <aboutblank> LeoDioxide_: Ah! Can I get a terminal off the alternate CD?
[01:04] <Fathefner> ok
[01:04] <Fathefner> thank u

[01:11] <LeoDioxide_> why?
[01:12] <LeoDioxide_> B_166-ER-X: .....?
[01:12] <g[r] eek> eth0 reflects all the settings i have configured in /etc/networking/interfaces
[01:12] <g[r] eek> *network
[01:12] <preaction> g[r] eek: eth0 is your ethernet card. lo is the loopback interface. you want to keep both

[01:12] <John`> !ping
[01:12] <ubotu> pong

[01:15] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: well thats correct, you sure your router doesn't hate you?
[01:15] <SpiderMan> Hello! I would like some help. Please tell me if the free ShipIt CDs of 7.04 work with mac Books. Is there any harm in trying to use Ubuntu on a MacBook (bought last year)?
[01:15] <r00t_> r0ut1, ati radeon xpress 1150.but im completly lost
[01:15] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: well its allowing my windows pc to connect allright and tahts going through the same switch
[01:15] <SpiderMan> Spiderman
[01:16] <pandora--> how can i tell what version of ubuntu i have installed?
[01:16] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: at least log in and check the settings on that, maybe you have to add your mac address?
[01:16] <g[r] eek> windows box, linux box - both connect via straight through utp to switch, which receives lan cable. lan cable at other end connects to router
[01:16] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: nah never had to do it before
[01:16] <g[r] eek> im pretty sure its something wrong wiht my linux box settings
[01:16] <g[r] eek> possibly a conflict with the sis900 and the 8139too ?
[01:16] <frantic> Can someone tell me how I compile python?
[01:16] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: go to your windows box, open up your browser, and go to <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:17] <g[r] eek> because lspci shows both a sis ethernet controller and a realtek
[01:17] <LeoDioxide_> uh....
[01:17] <pandora--> can i upgrade glibc with synaptic?
[01:17] <LeoDioxide_> you only get eth0, no eth1?
[01:17] <g[r] eek> "unable to conncet"
[01:17] <g[r] eek> ifconfig only returns eth0 and lo
[01:17] <LeoDioxide_> is your windows box on 192.168.0.*?
[01:17] <g[r] eek> so no eth1
[01:17] <LeoDioxide_> do ifconfig eth1 up
[01:18] <r0ut1> pandora--: of corse) just selecta new version
[01:18] <pandora--> r0ut1: what is it under?
[01:18] <pandora--> r0ut1: i had trouble finding it
[01:18] <g[r] eek> yeah
[01:18] <g[r] eek> <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:18] <frantic> OK how do I compile python? It seems like I do not have the folder /usr/local/bin/python nor #! /usr/bin/python
[01:18] <SpiderMan> Rephrasing: Do the ShipIt CSs work with MacBooks?
[01:18] <LeoDioxide_> :bog:, what is your routers IP address?
[01:18] <frantic> Anyone know what the problem is?
[01:19] <LeoDioxide_> and is it a router, or a switch?
[01:19] <LeoDioxide_> if you're just plugged into a switch, this will make a whole lot more sense
[01:19] <Masai47> actually it might be an issue with compiz, I see to things on my system monitor, I did not intentionally install it but a few days ago I installed a whole bunch of things on the terminal with out really knowing what was going on, it being my first day with Ubuntu, how can I remove it?
[01:19] <frantic> IS THERE ANY PYTHON EXPERT HERE I CAN PM?
[01:20] <SpiderMan> Do ShipIT CDs work with MacBooks?
[01:20] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: its just a simple switch.
[01:20] <pandora--> r0ut1: do you know?
[01:20] <wren> could anybody help me figure out why i get a black screen and lockup when trying to play tremulous? i have geforce4 mx
[01:20] <g[r] eek> my windows box and my linux box both plug into this switch
[01:20] <g[r] eek> and this switch is connected to the router
[01:20] <g[r] eek> which connects me to the internet
[01:20] <preaction> frantic: try #python
[01:20] <LeoDioxide_> ...
[01:20] <kitche> SpiderMan: they are mostly i386 or x86_64
[01:20] <preaction> !caps | frantic
[01:20] <ubotu> frantic: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:20] <LeoDioxide_> is the switch connected to the router through a crossover?
[01:21] <wren> i have tried the supported and unsupported drivers, and both were correct
[01:21] <LeoDioxide_> and is it a router, or a cable modem?
[01:21] <frantic> Thnx preaction for the answare I was thinking no1 could see what I said
[01:21] <SpiderMan> Kitche: is there any known harm in trying out the live cds on macbooks?
[01:21] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, after I installed that package, whenever I try ./compile it says: ./compile: No command.  Try `./compile --help' for more information.
[01:21] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: You are in the wrong directory again
[01:21] <preaction> !1337 | frantic

[01:21] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Oh.
[01:21] <hakk> ogmo: you got r6 and the darkness?
[01:21] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: b/c it's ./configure
[01:21] <d4rkmonkey> lol PurpZeY first thing I tied
[01:21] <d4rkmonkey> o_O
[01:22] <frantic> haha ok :D
[01:22] <hakk> rw
[01:22] <pandora--> libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found
[01:22] <Masai47> how do I install Compiz?
[01:22] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: im not sure. im in a residence. each room gets a lan cable that can be connected to our pc. i have two pc's in room so i bought a switch to be able to connect both of them
[01:22] <pandora--> synaptic should be able to do this?
[01:22] <kitche> SpiderMan: well they won't work unless you grab ppc which is not officially supported anymore but which macbook do you have?
[01:22] <d4rkmonkey> omg... PurpZeY another missing package :(
[01:22] <g[r] eek> but since my windows box is connecting to this switch and its workign on the internet, i figured the linux box should be simpe too
[01:22] <d4rkmonkey> You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed to compile Pidgin.
[01:22] <r00t_> y to install a ati driver?
[01:22] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: ok, just a sec, i'll get you the package name on that.
[01:22] <d4rkmonkey> thanks PurpZeY
[01:23] <r00t_> is there a easy to install a ati driver?
[01:23] <SpiderMan> the small one ... not the mac book pro
[01:23] <SpiderMan> white
[01:23] <d4rkmonkey> r00t_, I believe there is some package in the repos
[01:23] <d4rkmonkey> r00t_, I forget the exact name of the package for the ati drivers though
[01:23] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: there's a random router, with a random IP address, giving DHCP to your windows boxes?  I think the router hates you and won't let your linux box do anything fun
[01:23] <r00t_> d4rkmonkey, restricted?
[01:23] <d4rkmonkey> r00t_, uhh I'm not sure..
[01:23] <r00t_> ok
[01:23] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: :(
[01:23] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: regardless, you should be able to ping the windows box
[01:24] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: did you set up eth1 the same way, and try?
[01:24] <d4rkmonkey> r00t_, I'll see if I can find the package name
[01:24] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: yeah i cant even ping that so tahts a good indication that my config is messed up somewhere
[01:24] <aboutblank> can i get a terminal on the alternate CD before the install starts? if so, how?
[01:24] <g[r] eek> ok must i use the same settings for eth1 as for eth0?
[01:24] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: ifconfig eth1 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:24] <g[r] eek> same addresses etc
[01:24] <d4rkmonkey> !ati
[01:24] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:24] <d4rkmonkey> o_O
[01:24] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: don't have to, but it doesn't hurt
[01:24] <d4rkmonkey> !ati > r00t_
[01:24] <g[r] eek> ok

[01:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:25] <SpiderMan> the macbooks have intel processors, don't they?
[01:25] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: what confuses me is you would need a crossover cable or an upload port on the switch to plug it into the wall
[01:25] <SpiderMan> Intel Inside http://intel.com
[01:25] <d4rkmonkey> uhh some of the newer ones I think SpiderMan
[01:25] <logreeval> What are the dots when they are the password?, i typed a number on the end, but now the password doesnt work
[01:26] <SpiderMan> So ow can I use a LiveCD on a MacBook?
[01:26] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, I don't think it wants me to install pidgin... another package :( You must have libxml2 >= 2.6.0 development headers installed to build.
[01:26] <logreeval> Please, anyone?
[01:26] <svcagent> peko pa toos
[01:26] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: No worries, I had to do all this myself.
[01:26] <d4rkmonkey> SpiderMan, do you know how to boot of a CD with your macbook?
[01:26] <svcagent> los k me entende

[01:27] <Stormx2> What on earth?
[01:27] <Masai47> how do I uninstall Compiz?
[01:27] <d4rkmonkey> SpiderMan, I forget exactly how, my brother knows, I'll do a quick google search to see if I can find it
[01:27] <JimDandy> Hello
[01:27] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: i duno. all i know is that the cable that comes into my room can just as easily be connected directly to my windows box and it conencts to the internet. right now its instead going into the switch's link port, and then i have 2 cables going into ports in the switch, each for my windows and linux box respectively
[01:27] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: ok, that sounds right, can your windows box ping the router at least?
[01:27] <g[r] eek> hmm no such device eth1
[01:27] <g[r] eek> lol, dont know what router ip
[01:28] <g[r] eek> would it be the same as the dhcp ip address?
[01:28] <LeoDioxide_> should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:28] <logreeval> please, anyone, i cant get into my computer
[01:28] <LeoDioxide_> dns address
[01:28] <pike_> logreeval: ?
[01:28] <LeoDioxide_> logreeval: don't think you can recover passwords
[01:28] <Stormx2> logreeval: ... what happened?
[01:28] <ponicg> SpiderMan, i think you hold down a key when booting... apple or option.
[01:28] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: libxml2-dev  I think that's it, and if it is I'm pretty sure it's the last one you'll need
[01:28] <SpiderMan> ooh
[01:28] <logreeval> i tried to change my password by adding a 1 on trhe end in the User and Group thing, now it doesnt work
[01:28] <Stormx2> logreeval: You can log into recovery console and change it from there?
[01:28] <SpiderMan> one last question ...
[01:28] <Ricardo-Jarrett> Hey, I'm working from the FixResolutionHowTo, and I've ran into a bit of trouble. Is there anyone free to help?
[01:29] <logreeval> recovery console?
[01:29] <ponicg> SpiderMan, you hold the option key when booting
[01:29] <d4rkmonkey> ok thanks PurpZeY
[01:29] <aboutblank> bah, anyone know how to totally clear a drive of ANY info of mdadm? it seems to be saving the info from a previous configuration and i can't delete the device because it's in use (from the alternate CD)
[01:29] <pike_> logreeval: hit esc at bootup and go into recovery mode
[01:29] <svcagent> alguien xileno

[01:31] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: That will return a whooooole bunch of stuff, some of it might be errors, but as long as the final reutrn looks OK, you are good to go.
[01:31] <Ricardo-Jarrett> when I type - "sudo aticonfig --resolution=1024x768,600x800,640,480" and get the error - "Error: Section # expected"
[01:31] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: I would hope so :P now go to the linux box, do a dmesg | grep eth and see if theres anything besides eth0
[01:31] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, I think I might be able to do it from here with the README... I'll tell you if I need help :)
[01:31] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: same with trying to ping windows box
[01:31] <d4rkmonkey> its still doin the make right now...
[01:31] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: make sure you do sudo make install
[01:31] <d4rkmonkey> ok
[01:31] <PurpZeY> if not you get all these permissions errors.
[01:32] <promet> met
[01:32] <d4rkmonkey> still running...

[01:32] <SpiderMan> Sudo make me a sandwich
[01:32] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: there's a whole bunch of stuff, but all pertaining to eth0. most of it saying "link is not ready", but the first two lines say "SiS 900 PCI ethernet"
[01:33] <Hizzeh> hey guys
[01:33] <Hizzeh> I just installed ubuntu!
[01:33] <Hizzeh> It worked!
[01:33] <Hizzeh> I'm so happy
[01:33] <g[r] eek> hmm i think my cable is plugged into the realtek pci card
[01:33] <Hizzeh> Because it never installed before
[01:33] <r00t_> t_> im trying to install drivers for a ati radeon Xpress 1150,from this how to:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766&highlight=how+to+xgl+session  but it stals at this point:sudo module-assistant build fglrx
[01:33] <Hizzeh> Anyways, onto my question
[01:33] <Hizzeh> Where is the ndiswrapper utility located on the live cd?
[01:33] <nimbo> Hizzeh: nice
[01:33] <rael> hello, today is my birthday
[01:33] <SpiderMan> Congratulations Hizzeh!
[01:33] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: right, plug it into the other one >.<
[01:33] <g[r] eek> one sec
[01:33] <nimbo> Hizzeh: it isn't
[01:33] <Ricardo-Jarrett> /gratz
[01:33] <Hizzeh> I had to hop on windows to access the internet, as I could not find the ndiswrapper utility to install
[01:33] <SpiderMan> happy Birthday Rael!
[01:33] <Hizzeh> Oh, it said it was :(
[01:33] <nimbo> Hizzeh: yeah i know, but you can download it and install it on ubuntu
[01:33] <gnudoc> anyone know where hal holds the cached files before writing them to a usb drive?
[01:33] <Hizzeh> ah, I'm unable to get a cord from the router to here
[01:34] <rael> thank you
[01:34] <Hizzeh> So I guess I need to burn something on a CD
[01:34] <nimbo> Hizzeh: or usb drive
[01:34] <Ricardo-Jarrett> Resolution Problem -- when I type - "sudo aticonfig --resolution=1024x768,600x800,640,480" and get the error - "Error: Section # expected"
[01:34] <gnudoc> a friend of mine just pulled out his isb drive too early! :(
[01:34] <Hizzeh> Yeah, I don't have a USB drive though :(
[01:34] <Hizzeh> Anyways, I have CD's aplenty
[01:34] <SpiderMan> huh?
[01:34] <Hizzeh> CDs a'plenty*
[01:34] <nimbo> Hizzeh: cdrw works finde 2
[01:34] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: there is not other input for cable at the back of my pc
[01:34] <Hizzeh> yeah
[01:34] <SpiderMan> does your cd writer work?
[01:34] <Hizzeh> So, is there any linux drivers for a linksys wireless adapter?
[01:34] <g[r] eek> so probably the card its plugged into is indeed the SiS oen
[01:34] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: go to your linux box's bios, and turn off the ethernet controller
[01:34] <Hizzeh> yes it does, Spiderman :)
[01:34] <gerro> what is difference between g++_4%3a4.1.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb and g++-4.1_4.1.2-0ubuntu4_i386.deb?
[01:34] <JimDandy> Goodnight!
[01:34] <Hizzeh> I just burned Ubuntu today
[01:35] <Hizzeh> on my CD drive
[01:35] <SpiderMan> Great!
[01:35] <Hizzeh> (well, dvd)
[01:35] <g[r] eek> ok one sec
[01:35] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, I finished the make install, how exactly do I run pidgin?
[01:35] <nimbo> Hizzeh: what's that, ethernet? wifi?
[01:35] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: type pidgin
[01:35] <g[r] eek> how do i reboot from commadn line?
[01:35] <Hizzeh> wifi
[01:35] <d4rkmonkey> lol should of thought of that
[01:35] <Hizzeh> one sec, Ill get the exact model
[01:35] <d4rkmonkey> thanks :)
[01:35] <nimbo> Hizzeh: i dunno, ask google, or ask ubuntu's network settings ;-)
[01:35] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: It's working ok?
[01:35] <gerro> g[r] eek: try "reboot" or "shutdown -h 0"
[01:35] <g[r] eek> shutdown 0r
[01:35] <d4rkmonkey> uhh got an error when I started it
[01:35] <g[r] eek> shutdown -r
[01:36] <LeoDioxide_> halt?
[01:36] <Hizzeh> WUSB54GSC
[01:36] <aboutblank> it's 'sudo shutdown -r now'
[01:36] <Hizzeh> that's the adapter I'm using
[01:36] <g[r] eek> busy rebooting
[01:36] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, it says SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a Supported SSL Library.
[01:36] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: What I'd recommend is to add it to your panel, just right click, add to panel, and type in pidgin
[01:36] <gerro> hizzeh: same adapter I'm using
[01:36] <Hizzeh> awesome!
[01:36] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: You plan on using MSN?
[01:36] <nimbo> Hizzeh: open up the network manager and you see if it works or not
[01:36] <Hizzeh> it doesn't
[01:36] <d4rkmonkey> yeah, I do PurpZeY
[01:36] <gerro> hizzeh: I think we have option of getting it working with either ndiswrapper or rt73 drivers
[01:36] <Hizzeh> as no wireless settings appeared in network manager
[01:36] <nimbo> Hizzeh: then ndiswrapper is your friend
[01:37] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I don't know much about that, hold on, let me see.
[01:37] <d4rkmonkey> ok
[01:37] <Hizzeh> Yeah, I read about ndiswrapper
[01:37] <Hizzeh> where can I obtain it?
[01:37] <g[r] eek> sudo shutdown -r 0
[01:37] <gerro> hizzeh: google for it
[01:37] <d4rkmonkey> I'm gonna try setting up gtalk in the mean time
[01:37] <Hizzeh> rgr
[01:37] <Hizzeh> oh, gerro
[01:37] <Hizzeh> I couldn't find a .sys file
[01:37] <Hizzeh> on the drivers CD
[01:37] <Hizzeh> don't I need one?
[01:37] <gerro> hizzeh: just remember to do make uninstall with ndiswrapper source
[01:37] <Hizzeh> I found two .inf files and a .bin
[01:37] <gerro> hizzeh: yeah what were the .inf files called? I'm curious because I lost my cd
[01:37] <Hizzeh> the help in Ubuntu informed me I needed a .sys, .inf, and any .bins
[01:38] <Hizzeh> autplay.inf, and WUSB54GSC.inf
[01:38] <khin> can anyone play the video at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480249/trailers-screenplay-1-10-2 and what are you using. ive been trying off and on since last night to play this. i compiled mplayer and its plugin from source and so far am worse off than when i started (now i cant even view the ad that plays before the trailer).
[01:38] <Hizzeh> Khin: Try VLan
[01:38] <Hizzeh> www.videolan.org
[01:38] <kazol> Is a GRUB boot diskette distro/hardware independent?
[01:38] <Hizzeh> The best media player ever
[01:38] <gerro> Hizzeh: I read in forum if you get it going with ndiswrapper you need to disable power managing feature in feisty/edgy that will make the connection horribly slow and dropping off
[01:38] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey:  libnss-dev is the package...you *may* have to recompile...not sure.
[01:38] <Hizzeh> ok
[01:38] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: ok ive disabled onboard lan controller lets see...
[01:39] <logreeval> pike_ i am sure of what do do, can you go through the steps again?
[01:39] <darkroast> can someone tell me how to pipe commands using sudo?  for example, if I do this "sudo echo '' > myfile.txt", I get access denied because myfile.txt is owned by another user
[01:39] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: yeah, I had that -exact- problem...
[01:39] <Hizzeh> Sorry if I'm extremely rouph, it seems completely different from Windows so it'll take me a bit to get settled down
[01:39] <Amelie21> a friend of mine told me that ubuntu is especially designed for black people ? is that really true ???
[01:39] <d4rkmonkey> ok PurpZeY I'll try that
[01:39] <Stwange> whoever advised me about the nsplugin wrapper for flash on amd 64, thanks - I can finally play the flying gonzo muppets game :)
[01:39] <PurpZeY> Amelie21: no.
[01:39] <Hizzeh> are there any linux drivers for creative x-fi/ATI's 1900?
[01:39] <gerro> Hizzeh: yeah gnome is quite different, I usually use xubuntu myself
[01:39] <pike_> logreeval: basically in recovery mode youll be dropped at a # prompt basically youre root. so you type 'passwd whateverusername' then reboot. that should fix it
[01:40] <Hizzeh> what is xubuntu?
[01:40] <nimbo> xfce pwnz :)
[01:40] <gerro> Hizzeh: ubuntu with xfce desktop its under synaptic as xubuntu-desktop
[01:40] <khin> i suspect something subtle is doing on. i tried using totem and vlcplayer and both of them dont work either on this video. im wondering if there some piece of software that all use optionally that i dont have which is causing everything to fail. like a specter than i cant see...
[01:40] <bnall> ubuntu is not mounting my windows partition- forgot the command to mount it
[01:40] <logreeval> the "Ctrl D" thing pike_?
[01:40] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: heh the boot phase has frozen when "*Starting PCMCIA services..."
[01:40] <darkroast> can someone tell me how to pipe commands using sudo?  for example, if I do this "sudo echo '' > myfile.txt", I get access denied because myfile.txt is owned by another user
[01:40] <nimbo> bnall: mount /dev/xyz1 /media/disk or so
[01:40] <g[r] eek> the plot just thickens..
[01:40] <Hizzeh> does xfce add extra graphical interfaces or something along those lines?
[01:40] <Hizzeh> Sorry, I'm unfamiliar
[01:41] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, would you happen to know what I should do for gtalk? It says it requires TSL/SSL for login. if the library for SSL works for MSN it should work for gtalk too right?
[01:41] <Stwange> khin: how did you download VLC? I tried downloading it but it said the repository no longer existed
[01:41] <mrunagi> where can i find some good themes for ubuntu?
[01:41] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: The forum page I was reading seemed to indicate that yes.
[01:41] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: you're on a laptop?
[01:41] <PurpZeY> !theme | mrunagi
[01:41] <ubotu> mrunagi: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[01:41] <gerro> hizzeh: kde, gnome, xfce, fluxbox, icewm, blackbox those some major desktops for linux I know of
[01:41] <mrunagi> i said good themes =(
[01:41] <nimbo> !beer
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about beer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:41] <gerro> hizzeh: its merely a different graphical interface
[01:41] <larson9999> i set gnome up so it looks like windows.  i guess after more than 15 years(has it been that long?) i just got used to where the start button, taskbar, and system tray are and i don't want to change it.
[01:41] <Hizzeh> oh my goodness, ATI has their own proprietary linux software! I love them!
[01:41] <LeoDioxide_> !awesome
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awesome - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:41] <khin> huh? i dont get why that would be
[01:42] <khin> worked ok for me.
[01:42] <Stwange> !vlc
[01:42] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[01:42] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: nope
[01:42] <nimbo> !bender pwnz!
[01:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bender pwnz! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:42] <gerro> hizzeh: I'd suggest using synaptic, the ati driver on site works kinda crappy
[01:42] <SpiderMan> I heard that there more computers have Windows than all other operating systems combined.
[01:42] <logreeval> pike_ when it says Ctrl D or type the root password?
[01:42] <LeoDioxide_> oh, I'm confused
[01:42] <Hizzeh> yeah, Spiderman
[01:42] <gerro> SpiderMan: yeah in government/corporation storage sitting idle
[01:42] <Hizzeh> Windows takes up about 90%
[01:42] <LeoDioxide_> ubuntu should beast through a hardware change, nothing like that flaky windows
[01:42] <khin> but Blue Gene runs Linux. just remember that.
[01:43] <LeoDioxide_> windows died when I updated my bios
[01:43] <LeoDioxide_> POS
[01:43] <gerro> Spiderman: not to mention some purchase licenses for more and don't use them
[01:43] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: im going to re-enable the onboard pci so taht it boots properly. then remove eth1 and make eth0 dhcp. then re-disable onboard ethernet and see if it boots
[01:43] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, before recompiling what do I do to make sure that I don't have 2 pidgins installed?
[01:43] <logreeval> pike_ ?
[01:43] <SpiderMan> I did not know it was 90% though.
[01:43] <minttea> Is there a key to hold down when booting ubuntu to redetect hardware? I seem to remember, but I'm not sure?......
[01:43] <khin> i went to see Blue Gene at IBM labs, somebody asked about the OS, they said, thats a complicated question. this section runs a stripped down version of linux. this section runs linux, and this other section runs... linux.
[01:44] <Hizzeh> does anyone here have a creative x-fi soundcard with sound working?
[01:44] <Hizzeh> I'm trying to find a linux driver
[01:44] <gerro> SpiderMan: that figure also considers win95, win98, millenium, win 3.01, win nt, all of which are unsupported and extremely buggy by now
[01:44] <aboutblank> Hizzeh: One does not exist.
[01:44] <pike_> logreeval: ctrl-d i guess
[01:44] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I don't think you need to worry about that, I believe it should over-write...I'm not 100% on that, but honestly, I don't know how to remove it either, and I personally don't see damage...If you are worried ask the chan..personally speaking I'd just do it.
[01:44] <aboutblank> Okay, I'm bloody confused. I'm in the liveCD, and fdisk says i cannot write the partition table because the disk is busy?!?!
[01:44] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: all right, but from my experience the ethernet controller kills the actual ethernet port in linux
[01:44] <SpiderMan> whois BlueGene ?
[01:44] <logreeval>  ok
[01:44] <logreeval> ill try
[01:44] <LeoDioxide_> aboutblank: umount it?
[01:44] <gerro> hizzeh: did you just recently get your computer?
[01:44] <aboutblank> LeoDioxide_: I tried ti umount all partions on it.. none are mounted!
[01:45] <Hizzeh> Anyway to use my motherboards onboard sound?
[01:45] <Hizzeh> Yes, gerro
[01:45] <LeoDioxide_> :bog:
[01:45] <Hizzeh> kind of
[01:45] <Hizzeh> not really
[01:45] <khin> anyway, can anybody play the trailer at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480249/trailers-screenplay-1-10-2 (not the preceding ad; the trailer)
[01:45] <Hizzeh> like a year ago
[01:45] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: hmm its not freezing cause i disabled the onboard lan. cause now ive set it back to enabled and its still freezing. i think its freezing cause this is the first restart after i added eth1 to the /etc/network/interfaces file
[01:45] <g[r] eek> yet eth1 doesnt exist
[01:45] <khin> and if so what are you using (ubuntu version, player version, plugin)
[01:45] <gerro> hizzeh: then google its model with phrase "ubuntu linux" your bound to find other users whom are trying to fix the same problems
[01:46] <g[r] eek> so how can i load up in safe mode?
[01:46] <g[r] eek> if there issuch a thing
[01:46] <kazol> Has anyone here made a GRUB boot disk?
[01:46] <Hizzeh> gerro, would you know how to switch to onboard sound?
[01:46] <g[r] eek> ie: bypass ifconfig phase of boot
[01:46] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: it'd do that if you're trying to pull down an IP on an interface that doesn't exist, if you wait 3 minutes it should boot
[01:46] <Hizzeh> because Creative won't release love for linux users for their X-Fi cards untill third quarter of 07
[01:46] <bnall> getting this when i try to open the window partition from ubuntu
[01:46] <bnall> error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable
[01:46] <bnall> error: could not execute pmount
[01:46] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: ah ok
[01:46] <g[r] eek> ill wait 3 minutes then
[01:46] <greg> is there any soft for ubuntu which can save files form youtube??
[01:46] <LeoDioxide_> thats a browser software
[01:46] <kazol> greg: You
[01:47] <CAL|Smeltn`> I have a question about wireless
[01:47] <kazol> greg: You're using firefox?
[01:47] <gerro> g[r] eek: press esc at boot prompt for root recovery console and you could try setting xorg.conf in /etc/x11 to use vesa graphics if your graphics card isn't setup yet
[01:47] <CAL|Smeltn`> ...
[01:47] <CAL|Smeltn`> there we go
[01:47] <minttea>  Is there a key to hold down when booting ubuntu to redetect hardware? I seem to remember, but I'm not sure?......
[01:47] <CAL|Smeltn`> I have a question about wireless
[01:47] <CAL|Smeltn`> problem really
[01:47] <greg> kazol: yes
[01:47] <mrunagi> !ksmoothdock
[01:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ksmoothdock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:47] <PurpZeY> !ask | CAL|Smeltn`
[01:47] <kazol> greg: (sry for that) There are extensions to rip embedded videos.
[01:47] <logreeval> pike_ i dont think thats right or something>?
[01:47] <mrunagi> can you run ksmoothdock without kde
[01:47] <greg> kazol: know the names?
[01:47] <nimbo> !test | nimbo
[01:47] <logreeval> pike_ is it in the GUI or like the start up of it?
[01:47] <gerro> minttea: it should auto detect but you could try checking dmesg, lspci, lsusb, lshw to view information about your hardware
[01:48] <CAL|Smeltn`> I have showing in my network settings  2 wireless.. Wireless connection (wifi0) and Wireless connection (eth0)
[01:48] <CAL|Smeltn`> which do I use to get my internet to work
[01:48] <Jamesinator> I previously had my Network Proxy settings set so that HTTP connections went through localhost:3128 (Squid). However, I uninstalled squid, reverted my network proxy settings, but now when I try to install squid with apt-get, I get an error on fetching the package which states it's still trying to connect to localhost:3128. How can I "apply" the changes I made to my network proxy settings, since they don't appear to have been acc
[01:48] <c01100011> can someone recomend an audio player ?
[01:48] <nimbo> c01100011: beep-media-player , xmms , amarok
[01:48] <pike_> logreeval: if ya need to chance password but dont have a login that works ya need single user shell. did that not work?
[01:48] <Jamesinator> c01100011: Rythmbox or Amarok
[01:48] <kazol> greg: I use unplug-it's good and advanced.
[01:49] <gerro> Jamesinator: do the reverse of whatever you did..?
[01:49] <khin> rythmbox works ok for me, but you may need to download some extra codecs
[01:49] <Jamesinator> gerro: Please read my question before responding
[01:49] <Stwange> khin: Don't know if anyone's answered you, but yeah I can play it
[01:49] <greg> kazol: from where i can download it?
[01:49] <gerro> Jamesinator: I did
[01:49] <quinton_> Need help with screen resolution!, My ubuntu applications bar and trash bin bar are going off the side of the screen how do I fix this?
[01:49] <minttea> gerro: my friend bought a wireless card known to work with ubuntu, but it's not showing up. I don't know more info than that. thanks for the cmds
[01:49] <Jamesinator> gerro: Please make your response relevant in some way
[01:49] <logreeval> i wasnt able to get in pike_
[01:49] <bnall> when i try to access my windows files from ubuntu i get
[01:49] <bnall> error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable
[01:49] <bnall> error: could not execute pmount
[01:49] <bnall> any ideas on how to fix?
[01:50] <khin> what are you using (os version, player, plugin)
[01:50] <cman346> how come people as poor as I am don't vote in the real world?
[01:50] <Hizzeh> Minttea: Have you tried using NDiswrapper?
[01:50] <kazol> greg: Google "firefox add-ons" and search from the website.
[01:50] <logreeval> pike_ what is single user shell?
[01:50] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY, it gave me some message about an old version already being installed, but its installing anyways, I think when gutsy comes out I'm doing a clean install and just transferring some of the files that I want
[01:50] <gerro> Jamesinator: backup the proxy settings and remove them :)
[01:50] <minttea> Hizzeh: no, is that for using windows wireless drivers? or something else
[01:50] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Like I said, it should just install over.
[01:50] <Compressed> when i typed 'sudo adduser --disabled-password dbserver' to make a new user (this goes successfully) and then do 'su - dbserver' ubuntu prompts me for a password..any ideas?
[01:51] <Jamesinator> gerro: As I said in my question, I removed them, however, the changes have not been applied. Please read Response #1.
[01:51] <quinton_> Need help fitting screen resolution... both top and bottom bars are going off the right side of the screen! help please
[01:51] <d4rkmonkey> yeah I hope it does :)
[01:51] <gerro> minttea: which wireless card? did you edit anything yet? oh and might want to check the forum if its known to work usually lots of goodies or tweaks
[01:51] <pike_> logreeval: try this: hit esc at boot. highlight the top entry and hit e  then go to the kernel line and hit e to edit again. then add init=/bin/sh to the end of that line putting a single space between whatever is there and it of course. hit enter and b to boot. then at # type mount -o remount,rw /    then type passwd username
[01:51] <khin> Stwange er what are you using (os version, player, plugin)
[01:51] <pike_> logreeval: that will work
[01:51] <gerro> jamesinator: you merely said you removed *those* proxy settings not that you disabled using a proxy altogether
[01:52] <logreeval> pike_ is esc supposed to get me to GRUB?
[01:52] <Jamesinator> gerro: "Use direct internet connection"
[01:52] <minttea> gerro: it's a wda-1320        my friend just threw it in and booted up
[01:52] <gerro> logreeval: yes when you boot and see it mention to press esc
[01:52] <gerro> Jamesinator: yeah
[01:52] <logreeval> pike_ thanks
[01:52] <Stwange> khin: ubuntu 7.01 (I think, whatever the latest version is), with firefox, the flash extension (didn't work on it's own) and the nspluginwrapper ( http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/2007/01/15/nspluginwrapper-adobe-flash-player/ ) (I think that's what's running the video, but I have installed a lot of codecs)
[01:52] <pike_> logreeval: yeah, np
[01:53] <Jamesinator> gerro: I was telling you, that was what I did
[01:53] <gerro> minttea: ooh a dlink yeah those are nice
[01:54] <Stwange> gerro: I have a dlink and this is the first time a distro has recognised it (although I only tried madriva and slackware before). I also have a problem with them under windows, where if they arent connected they cause the computer to hang for 2-3 seconds every 5-6 seconds until i disable it
[01:54] <pili> How could i know wich grafic car do i have?
[01:54] <pili> card
[01:54] <quinton_> need help resizing screen resolution to a custom size so the top and bottom bar of my screen does not go off the side
[01:54] <Evilbadwrong> Question: Is there a way to install Edgy over Feisty and still retain the other programs I've installed?
[01:54] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: 5 minutes have passsed still frozen
[01:54] <d4rkmonkey> finally got it working thanks for all your help PurpZeY
[01:55] <gerro> minttea: eh one of those antenna ones *sighs* they always end up sucking in my experience with them. Its that cheap antenna they always bundled with
[01:55] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: Glad to hear it, not a problem.
[01:55] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_ id like to boot up with skipping the ethernet/lan setup phase
[01:55] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: umm, do what that other guy said :P
[01:55] <Stwange> quinton_: there's a way of sorting out this with the config files I think, but - sorry if this is a dumb question - have you tried adjusting the resolution on the monitor itself
[01:55] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: so that i can disable the non-existent eth1
[01:55] <gerro> minttea: think its cheaper and more easy to just get a usb wireless adapter dlink makes those to
[01:55] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: its server edition of dapper drake. no gui
[01:55] <quinton_> stwange, eh?
[01:55] <Ricardo-Jarrett> I have a problem using aticonfig, heres what my xorg.conf looks like - http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/311
[01:55] <tunganet> I am fairly new to ubuntu, and i need a guide for dual boot.  Can someone assist me?
[01:56] <shavex> in compiz fusion, whenever i launch it my close, maximize, and shrink buttons disappear from all my windows, how do i change that?
[01:56] <minttea> gerro: my friend is trying reseating the card
[01:56] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: I never figured out how to cancel boot
[01:56] <g[r] eek> ah ok press Esc at boot prompt
[01:56] <g[r] eek> one sec
[01:56] <Stwange> quinton_:  never mind, I thought you were talking about adjusting the monitor display size
[01:56] <nimbo> tunganet: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:56] <nimbo> !grub | tunganet
[01:56] <quinton_> stwange, uhm no actually i just clicked some buttons on the monitor for about 3 pixels, never though of it, thank you
[01:56] <ubotu> tunganet: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:56] <g[r] eek> wtf
[01:57] <g[r] eek> eth1 link up 100Mbps full duplex
[01:57] <g[r] eek> eth0 media link off
[01:57] <LeoDioxide_> yeah
[01:57] <tunganet> nimbo: nono i am trying to have windows and ubuntu on startup.  I am sorry but there are guides on this right? =.=
[01:57] <g[r] eek> its staring at me - booted up in boot recovery mode
[01:57] <gerro> minttea: hmm forum says it worked good with 6.06 so it might be a feisty/edgy issue
[01:57] <g[r] eek> and now its frozen again, but the cursor is blinking this time. so perhaps its doing that 3 minute thing properly now
[01:57] <nimbo> tunganet: you just need to add a few lines in that file to get windows to boot from grub
[01:58] <tunganet> nimbo ohh aite thanks
[01:58] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: does that bit about eth1 and eth0 make sense now?
[01:58] <gerro> hizzeh you there?
[01:58] <cbc> hey, im using the last xubuntu distro and after a dist-upgrade my fonts is too small.. any idea?
[01:58] <nimbo> tunganet: google -> http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html
[01:58] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: why wasn't eth1 working before?
[01:58] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: I dunno, I suspect the onboard ethernet controller is confusing ubuntu
[01:58] <tunganet> nimbo thanks :P
[01:58] <minttea> gerro: he has 6.06 though, lol
[01:58] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: it's been a problem with some motherboards since forever in the 2.6 kernel
[01:59] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: ok well once i get to prompt ill disable eth1 in my ifconfig and reboot and disable onboard lan
[01:59] <gerro> minttea: does it give him wireless setting under ethernet?
[01:59] <g[r] eek> hopefully ill get to prompt after 3 mintues this time :P
[01:59] <nimbo> cbc: you can change the settings
[01:59] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: not the onboard lan, the onboard controller, it's some stupid thing that apparently guides the lan port
[01:59] <nimbo> cbc: user interface or something like that in the settings
[01:59] <trondh> so who has an ati card and uses feisty
[01:59] <LeoDioxide_> trondh: me
[01:59] <g[r] eek> ok
[02:00] <mavsman4457> i was told to boot from the Live-CD, mount my installation and change kboot.conf from there, does that mean reinstalling ubuntu altogether, if not how do i do that?
[02:00] <trondh> LeoDioxide_: are you using fglrx
[02:00] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: No, you aren't re-installing
[02:00] <tunganet> nimbo: will all my ubuntu information be gone if i am trying dual boot ?
[02:00] <LeoDioxide_> trondh: just the ati driver, nothing special
[02:00] <cbc> nimbo, yeah,, i know.. but if i do that another applications such as firefox/thunderbird stay with big fonts
[02:00] <mavsman4457> aboutblank: so how do i do what i want to do
[02:01] <nimbo> tunganet: no, just dont change lines in that file, just add lines so you won't break anything
[02:01] <minttea> gerro: I think it might be working now, it wasn't seated right it sounds like
[02:01] <tunganet> nimbo: aite, thanks for the info
[02:01] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: You boot... you openthe drive, you browse to the file, edit, save, and reboot :)
[02:01] <rich115> i need elp
[02:01] <gerro> minttea: umm well g2g then
[02:01] <rich115> some1 help me
[02:01] <trondh> LeoDioxide_: ah ok
[02:01] <nimbo> cbc: hm ... ? :-|
[02:01] <nimbo> rich115: wazup
[02:01] <rich115> can some1 help me?
[02:02] <minttea> gerro: later
[02:02] <_nfs_> does anyone knows if there is a gui application to capture online streaming sounds from my sound card?
[02:02] <g[r] eek> LeoDioxide_: cursor still blinking but not doing anything. its stuck after that eth0 and eth1 thing :(
[02:02] <rich115> i cant load my windows anymore
[02:02] <nimbo> rich115: just tell what's your problem
[02:02] <trondh> _nfs_: vlc maybe?
[02:02] <rich115> cuz i took off ubuntu
[02:02] <LeoDioxide_> g[r] eek: probably frozen, figure out how to cancel the boot
[02:02] <Xbehave> ive installed java 5 and java 6 but a program is telling me i need to update?
[02:02] <trondh> _nfs_: yah you should be able to use vlc and your soundcard as capture device to stream to a file
[02:02] <Stwange> I added this to sources.list: deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ubuntu dapper universe     for the VLC player, but I get the following error:  Unable to fetch file, server said /pub/videolan/ubuntu/dists/dapper/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz: No such file or directory   - is this because it actually doesn't exist, or because I'm going it wrong?
[02:03] <logreeval> pike_ i tried it, got to the number thing, but then it could find the -o or something like that
[02:03] <gerro> rich115: the linux boot loader grub allows for dual booting and it was installed with ubuntu but now its gone and you can't boot anything
[02:03] <logreeval> it was an error, so i tried passwd username and it said the token lock was busy or soemthing
[02:03] <mavsman4457> aboutblank: How do I get to the drive? I don't see it on the desktop
[02:03] <rich115> so what do i do to get rid of grub?
[02:03] <pike_> logreeval: mount -o remount,rw /   ? exactly like that?
[02:03] <pike_> logreeval: no space in .
[02:03] <trondh> Stwange: looks like that directory doesn't exist; either it's not there or it's in a different path
[02:03] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: I'm going to PM you, ok?
[02:04] <nimbo> rich115: do you want to install the windows boot loader?
[02:04] <LeoDioxide_> Stwange: just go to the link yourself and download the binary
[02:04] <rich115> yes i do
[02:04] <gerro> rich115: I think its option to recover on windows disc
[02:04] <logreeval> pike_ yes i think so
[02:04] <logreeval> wait
[02:04] <logreeval> no
[02:04] <mavsman4457> aboutblank: ok but I don't think I can sned any PM's to you because I need to register or something
[02:04] <logreeval> hold on a sec
[02:04] <pike_> logreeval: on most any linux box that will work to get you access
[02:04] <rich115> is there any way to do it withouyt the CD?
[02:04] <g[r] eek> ffs im reinstalling
[02:04] <tunganet> nimbo: its really confusing.. =\

[02:05] <nimbo> oops thats for dos
[02:05] <Stwange> LeoDioxide_: thanks. But what am I looking for? There's Packages, Packages.gz, (same two for Sources), directories: dists, pool, sources - what file type or name am I looking for?
[02:05] <nimbo> rich115: http://www.ambience.sk/fdisk-master-boot-record-windows-linux-lilo-fixmbr.php
[02:05] <Stwange> oh packages.gz I'm guesing?

[02:06] <LeoDioxide_> yeah
[02:06] <LeoDioxide_> grab it, unzip it, and install what you want
[02:06] <rich115> so what do i dfo with it?
[02:06] <nimbo> rich115: run it?!
[02:06] <tunganet> nimbo: hey, the guide seems to teach me how to install ubuntu on a windows installed system.  But i am trying to do the opposite =\

[02:07] <Stwange> the binary just contains packages and packages.gz (which contains packages) - but that's just a text file, what do I do with it?
[02:07] <tunganet> nimbo:  thanks again
[02:07] <nimbo> :)
[02:07] <pike_> logreeval: np :)
[02:07] <nonewmsgs> stwange thats more or less my questoin

[02:07] <Ominous_> argh cant get beryl to work
[02:07] <Ominous_> :S
[02:08] <r00tintheb0x> im upgrading my Feisty install by replacing all the words that contain "feisty" in my sources.list file with the word "gutsy" and issuing this command. "aptitude update && aptitude -y dist-upgrade".
[02:08] <rich115> how do i run it if i cant get into windows?
[02:08] <r00tintheb0x> Is that safe?
[02:08] <kazol> Ominous_: What is wrong?
[02:08] <nimbo> rich115: is windows installed?
[02:08] <mavsman4457> aboutblank: OK I've found my kboot file and I can edit it but is there any way to install new kernel through my live cd?
[02:08] <sn0> r00tintheb0x using gutsy is only recommended if you want to help testing / enjoy things breaking
[02:08] <rich115> yes, but i cant boot it
[02:08] <sn0> its not ready for general use yet
[02:08] <nimbo> rich115: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=375198
[02:09] <Xbehave> ive installed java 1.6 but programs still want me to upgrade, why and how do i do this? i installed through repos
[02:09] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: Maybe... but don't try. why would you want to do that anyway?
[02:09] <r00tintheb0x> sn0 are you talking to me?
[02:09] <TaJMoX> r00tintheb0x: i've used gutsy and im keeping my Edgy
[02:09] <r00tintheb0x> ah
[02:09] <rich115> windows is already intalled
[02:09] <r00tintheb0x> i'll make it work.
[02:09] <rich115> i just cant boot it
[02:09] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[02:09] <RodGo> hi all i am new with linux and want to try some of the best games that are free for linux
[02:09] <TaJMoX> rich115 - you have to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:09] <Ominous_> kazol: installs then dosent do anythinf
[02:09] <LeoDioxide_> bzflag!
[02:09] <sn0> r00tintheb0x yes hence the highlight :) i tried today's daily image of gutsy, its looking quite an improvement
[02:10] <r00tintheb0x> RodGo some of the best games i've found for native Linux are on getdeb.net
[02:10] <r00tintheb0x> BEWARE: that is not an offical site.
[02:10] <kazol> Ominous_: Is it running in the top panel?
[02:10] <nonewmsgs> my questoin.  i would like to install colem.tar.Z.  i untarred it and there is a makefile and a bunch of c suorce files and headers amd a colem.doc that totally is based for after installation.   how do i make it
[02:10] <Ominous_> ya
[02:10] <mavsman4457> aboutblank: because my ubuntu won't boot up and I think that it isn't just my kboot file that is the cause but I could try editting my kboot file and if that doesn't fix it then I could install a new kernel from the live cd?
[02:10] <rich115> well i already took off ubuntu so i cant edit it
[02:10] <Ominous_> kazol: hang onneed to reinstall
[02:10] <RodGo> r00tintheb0x: any game you can recommend me?
[02:10] <r00tintheb0x> BEWARE: Those packages are not supported by Ubuntu RodGo
[02:10] <r00tintheb0x> RodGo im not in X right now
[02:10] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: Er.. no I don't think you can even do that.
[02:10] <r00tintheb0x> but, i know ... hypercube or something is good
[02:11] <Cplunsford> hey all, quick question: Feisty supports built in Compiz already configured and what not;  does Kubuntu also support out the box compiz?
[02:11] <r00tintheb0x> its a 1st person shooter
[02:11] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: Is it grub that's erroring?
[02:11] <nimbo> rich115: doesn't windows has an repair mode you can choose when you boot from cd?
[02:11] <RodGo> i just looking for a free fun online game i can play on free times :p
[02:11] <r00tintheb0x> Cplunsford im sure it does.
[02:11] <PurpZeY> Cplunsford: It's not compiz it's desktop-effects, the two are not exactly the same.
[02:11] <Cplunsford> I understand that KDE and GTK do use different drivers in X, but Xorg is still xorg so it shouldn't matter right?
[02:11] <rich115> i am running from the ubuntu live CD right now
[02:11] <r00tintheb0x> Cplunsford granted that your X server is taking advantage of direct rendering.
[02:11] <Cplunsford> of course
[02:11] <mavsman4457> aboutblank: I don't know what grub is but I think it's because my custom kernel changed sda1 to ps3sda1 and then the update manager's kernel changed it back to sda1
[02:11] <nimbo> rich115: get the windows cd and repair your system
[02:12] <r00tintheb0x> Cplunsford correct, to an extent.
[02:12] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: Sorry, can't help you there
[02:12] <mavsman4457> aboutblank: sorry I have to go eat dinner but will you be on in a half hour?
[02:12] <rich115> thats the only thing i can do? i dont have the windows CD at this moment
[02:12] <r00tintheb0x> Gnome and KDE use Qt and GTK
[02:12] <nimbo> rich115: no, but it's the easiest way
[02:12] <ccollander> anybody know any good websites on programming c++ in linux
[02:12] <r00tintheb0x> or vice versa
[02:12] <r00tintheb0x> ccollander there's things allover google about it.
[02:12] <rich115> whats a way i can do so i can completely get rid of ubuntu and only boot from windows?
[02:13] <Cplunsford> r00tintheb0x, I have a Kubuntu box with an nv6800 running the ubuntu .deb nvidia binarys and wonder which option i should use
[02:13] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 explain your problem to me and i'll see if i can help.
[02:13] <aboutblank> mavsman4457: Probably not.
[02:13] <r00tintheb0x> Cplunsford which option for what?
[02:13] <r00tintheb0x> compiz?
[02:13] <tunganet> nimbo: will i be able to install windows on my already installed ubuntu if my harddrive is not primary?
[02:13] <Ominous_> kazol, ok installed again
[02:13] <Cplunsford> even though its fun to make stuff work, on this particular box i want any desktop enhancements to be sortasupported
[02:13] <tunganet> nimbo: primary amster**
[02:13] <rich115> i got rid of ubuntu, and now i cant load windows anymore, i want to load windows again, but i dont want to keep ubuntu either
[02:13] <nimbo> tunganet: hm ... i don't think so, windows will complain
[02:13] <nimbo> tunganet: if it's not the master
[02:14] <SpiderMan> Gnome does not use QT
[02:14] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 did you dual boot or did you overwrite your windows install?
[02:14] <kazol> Ominous_: So is it running in the top right panel?
[02:14] <Cplunsford> r00tintheb0x, compiz, beryl, the new composite of the two, and the different methods to make it work
[02:14] <r00tintheb0x> gnome uses GTK
[02:14] <Ominous_> ya
[02:14] <tunganet> nimbo: the master thingy broke =[
[02:14] <Ominous_> Beryl Manager
[02:14] <rich115> i put ubuntu on the slave drive and windows on the master
[02:14] <r00tintheb0x> thats why i said or vice versa, if you'd not be so fast to correct.
[02:14] <rich115> so they r on different drives
[02:14] <r00tintheb0x> okay rich115 thats easy to fix.
[02:14] <j1tters> hey all question.  on boot. if enough mem is available does ubuntu atempt to load as much of itself in ram as possible? or is this a setting that changeable?
[02:14] <rich115> how?
[02:14] <r00tintheb0x> Do you have a Windows XP cd that is bootable rich115 ?
[02:14] <Ominous_> berl in terminal gives Checking for XComposite extension               : failed
[02:14] <Xbehave> rich115: have you tried using the windows disk to restore the mbr, its mbr fix or some command like that,
[02:14] <rich115> no, not with me right now
[02:14] <j1tters> ie i have 4 gig of ram. can i force os load to ram. or as much as possible.?
[02:15] <r00tintheb0x> get one and go into the repair console and type "fixboot" and "fixmbr"
[02:15] <r00tintheb0x> and you'll be able to boot back into Windows.
[02:15] <r00tintheb0x> "Now with more bow-chicka-bow-wow"
[02:15] <nimbo> haha
[02:15] <r00tintheb0x> =)
[02:15] <LeoDioxide_> Xbehave: /format MBR fixes it
[02:15] <r00tintheb0x> i'd sugguest a fixmbr.
[02:16] <LeoDioxide_> I would too
[02:16] <tunganet> nimbo: alright, so now that i cannot have dual boot for windows/ubuntu.  I am thinking of upgrading my Edgy to Feisty.  Is there anything i need to be aware of?
[02:16] <r00tintheb0x> you dont need to format it, it's just confused.
[02:16] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: i also did
[02:16] <LeoDioxide_> format MBR was 98 days
[02:16] <LeoDioxide_> windows 98 days
[02:16] <r00tintheb0x> It's worked a million times for me.
[02:16] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: he wont get into his windows
[02:16] <r00tintheb0x> oj
[02:16] <r00tintheb0x> oh*
[02:16] <r00tintheb0x> he wont get into his windows?
[02:16] <rich115> is there a way to do it without the CD?
[02:16] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: no, hes on ubuntu live cd now
[02:16] <r00tintheb0x> I dont understand.
[02:16] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: he cant start windows
[02:16] <nimbo>  /boot
[02:16] <Ominous_> where can i get  XComposite extension  ?
[02:16] <Cplunsford> using the live CD you can have it auto reconfigure your grub
[02:16] <r00tintheb0x> okay, so if he boots from the hard disks what happens?
[02:17] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: ask him :P
[02:17] <rich115> it says grub error
[02:17] <r00tintheb0x> nimbo are you assuming that i was telling him to boot from hard disk into windows to fix his mbr?
[02:17] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: do you wanna emulate fixmbr with wine or how else??
[02:17] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 i know... you can either repair grub and boot into windows... or you can repair the windows MBR
[02:17] <tunganet> nimbo: alright, so now that i cannot have dual boot for windows/ubuntu.  I am thinking of upgrading my Edgy to Feisty.  Is there anything i need to be aware of?
[02:18] <r00tintheb0x> no nimbo i said BOOT FROM A BOOTABLE WINDOWS XP CD!
[02:18] <r00tintheb0x> READ MAN READ!
[02:18] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: i already told him to do so ...
[02:18] <r00tintheb0x> okay then why is he still asking what to do.
[02:18] <nimbo> you don't need to scream
[02:18] <rich115> how do i repair grub then?
[02:18] <nimbo> r00tintheb0x: he has no xp live cd
[02:18] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 if i were you and i didnt have a windows xp cd...
[02:18] <nimbo>  -live
[02:18] <kazol> tunganet: Backup your files first-when I upgraded from Dapper to Edgy, it got corrupted.
[02:18] <Cplunsford> what is his drive assignment? I had a funky situation where my ntfsloader was on one harddrive and my grub on another, which caused me to have to tweek grub.conf
[02:18] <tunganet> kazol: doesnt backuping takes a long time.. =\
[02:18] <r00tintheb0x> then i'd just repair grub and edit the boot.cfg inside the grub directory.
[02:19] <nimbo> tunganet: i had no problems though i can't promise things will not break
[02:19] <rich115> how could i do that form a live cd?
[02:19] <rich115> and ubuntu is gone
[02:19] <r00tintheb0x> Cplunsford he can tell with "fdisk -l"
[02:19] <ubuntuEdgy> did you guys know that you can preview an mp3 by pausing your mouse on it ?
[02:19] <peepsalot> hey folks, i'm trying to upgrade from edgy to feisty.  i try to do it through this button in the update manager, and it says "Authenticating the upgrade failed.  There may be a problem with the network or with the server"
[02:19] <tunganet> nimbo: i mean like, is there anything i need to watch out.  or is it as simple as clicking upgrade to fiesty fawn?
[02:19] <kazol> tunganet: Well if something goes wrong, your files will be probably left intact, but sys. files corrupted.
[02:19] <r00tintheb0x> rich open up a command console and issue a "fdisk -l"
[02:19] <r00tintheb0x> and look for the one with NTFS in it.
[02:19] <timtux> is there any easy way to check upload- & download speed @ command line?
[02:19] <nimbo> tunganet: it is as simple as it should
[02:19] <r00tintheb0x> timtux look for a program called "iptraf"
[02:19] <r00tintheb0x> its EXCELLENT.
[02:20] <Cplunsford> r00tintheb0x, yeah im not an expert i usually have to look up commands and man page my way through stuff
[02:20] <tunganet> nimbo: i heard that ubuntu users who used automatix or easyubuntu will have trouble going from edgy to ubuntu, is that true?
[02:20] <rich115> what do i do?
[02:20] <r00tintheb0x> yeah Cplunsford me either... but --help is always a --help!
[02:20] <Cplunsford> thank got for bash's command history
[02:20] <freeagy> hi can i play iso dvds like daemon tools?
[02:20] <r00tintheb0x> hah!
[02:20] <Ominous_> where can i get  XComposite extension  ?
[02:20] <ricardo> hallo
[02:20] <nimbo> tunganet: whats automatix? whats easyubuntu?
[02:20] <Pricey> !automatix
[02:20] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[02:20] <r00tintheb0x> yes feeagy
[02:20] <rich115> what do i do again?
[02:20] <nimbo> lol
[02:20] <r00tintheb0x> !iso | freeagy
[02:20] <ubotu> freeagy: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[02:21] <Xbehave> tunganet: nimbo: automatix takes shortcuts and so can cause problems, easyubuntu is better but could also cause problems(although it shouldnt)
[02:21] <rich115> can some1 tell me what to do if i dont have my windows XP CD?
[02:21] <ShackJack> Ominous - check out #ubuntu-effects  -- XCOmposite is not something you get but rather something your graphics drivers supports or you have to enable...
[02:21] <nimbo> tunganet: my wifi card didn't work on feisty anymore (without ndiswrapper)
[02:22] <tunganet> Xbehave: i have installed automatix before and uninstalled it.  So far it doesnt cause problems.  Will i have trouble going from edgy to feisty?
[02:22] <Stwange> can anyone tell me which files I should download from ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ubuntu to install VLC, and what I should do with them? They all seem to be the same to me :-S thanks in advance
[02:22] <rich115> some1?
[02:22] <fujin> Stwange: apt-get install vlc
[02:22] <fujin> learn2ubuntu
[02:22] <preaction> Stwange: use the repositories, apt-get install vlc
[02:22] <freeagy> tank you very much :D
[02:22] <Stwange> i don't think that works, one second
[02:22] <Ricardo-Jarrett> rich11: what do you need the XP CD for?
[02:22] <preaction> !repositories | Stwange
[02:22] <ubotu> Stwange: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:22] <rich115> to fix my MBR but i dont have it, so what do i do?
[02:23] <d4rkmonkey> MBR?
[02:23] <ShackJack> tunganet: You could have issues - but do a sudo aptitude -f install to fix any broken packages and you are less likely to have issues...
[02:23] <Xbehave> tunganet: it shouldnt but as its 3rd party its hard to tell + any problems may be hard to diagnose, tbh aslong as you backup it should work and be worth the risk
[02:23] <nimbo> rich115: perhaps lilo will work
[02:23] <ShackJack> d4rkmonkey: Master Boot Record
[02:23] <tunganet> ShackJack: alright thanks
[02:23] <d4rkmonkey> thanks ShackJack
[02:23] <Ominous_> the thing is beryl did work then i ununinstalled it then decided to reinstall it a day later and now it dosent
[02:23] <rich115> tell me exactly what to fix it
[02:23] <nimbo> !lilo | rich115
[02:23] <ubotu> rich115: lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[02:23] <nimbo> grml
[02:24] <Stwange> fujin: that's ridiculous - it worked. I've tried adding the repository and it said it said it didn't exist, and I checked in synaptic and I couldn't find it, your command worked though thanks :)
[02:24] <khin> it seems like whenever i edit my sources.list file i get "gpg error" whatever that is
[02:24] <ShackJack> tunganet: I also make sure packages ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard are installed with dependencies satified (they are meta packages)
[02:24] <fujin> Stwange: It's multiverse or universe I think.
[02:24] <khin> and it doesnt work.
[02:24] <fujin> Might not show in synaptic if you have em disabled.
[02:24] <rich115> so how can i fix the problem from the live CD?
[02:24] <fujin> khin: you have to add the gpg key of the repository you're adding
[02:24] <fujin> otherwise apt will cry
[02:24] <rich115> im on the ubuntu live CD and ubuntu is already gone
[02:25] <Stwange> fujin - yeah, universe, but I've got them enabled and I added that side to sources.list and it didn't work. Maybe the repository was down or something earlier.
[02:25] <nimbo> rich115: reinstall ubuntu
[02:25] <ShackJack> khin: Usually there the command line for doing so on the repo's website...
[02:25] <rich115> but i dont want ubuntu anymore
[02:25] <Cplunsford> fujin, hey how can I make apt look for the key file not in my /home/~
[02:25] <ShackJack> rich115: Wha?
[02:25] <nimbo> rich115: do it
[02:25] <r00tintheb0x> rich
[02:25] <fujin> Cplunsford: what do you mean?
[02:25] <r00tintheb0x> rich i already told you to reinstall grub from the live cd or boot from a windows xp cd and do a fixboot and a fixmbr
[02:25] <d4rkmonkey_> O_O
[02:25] <r00tintheb0x> why are you asking the same question?
[02:26] <rich115> how do i reinstall the grub?
[02:26] <teratoma> what's the difference between the various VNC packages ?
[02:26] <fujin> teratoma: they're different
[02:26] <d4rkmonkey_> does anyone know how I can get rid of d4rkmonkey? I forgot to register so I can't ghost
[02:26] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Could I boot GRUB from a SuSe netinstall CD?
[02:26] <r00tintheb0x> firstly, you need to do a "fdisk -l" at the command line to see what your master drive is.
[02:26] <teratoma> fujin: why is the sky blue ?
[02:26] <fujin> d4rkmonkey_: wait for it to timeout
[02:26] <d4rkmonkey_> ok
[02:26] <fujin> teratoma: liquid ozone is blue, evidently
[02:26] <r00tintheb0x> kazol theorticaly speaking
[02:26] <Cplunsford> fujin, that was terrible english on my part... the file that apt stores the key so it dosn't complain about package verification is stored in ~ correct?
[02:26] <r00tintheb0x> i wouldn't sugguest it.
[02:26] <r00tintheb0x> (spelling)
[02:27] <fujin> Cplunsford: no, you do apt-key add iirc
[02:27] <r00tintheb0x> rich, how many hard drives do you have?
[02:27] <teratoma> fujin: I am glad I have brought humor into your miserable life, but do you know the difference between tightvnc and the normal vnc package?
[02:27] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: I have a problem where the 2nd RAID-1 HD cannot boot on it's own due to a GRUB error.
[02:27] <rich115> 2, the one that used to have ubuntu on it, and one completely dedicated to windows
[02:27] <nimbo> lol
[02:27] <r00tintheb0x> teratoma tightvnc is a spinoff of vnc.
[02:27] <fujin> teratoma: one is developed by a different group of people
[02:27] <nimbo> oh man rich ...
[02:27] <r00tintheb0x> Much like Kompozer is a spinoff of NVU.
[02:27] <Cplunsford> teratoma, because red light waves travel through the atmosphere more easly than blue lightwaves, which get disppersed allowing us to see it or something right? :P
[02:28] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 ubuntu is still on it
[02:28] <fujin> teratoma: I usually find tightvnc to be the best, although on my headed boxes I run x11vnc so that I may attach to my X session remotely
[02:28] <ShackJack> Dumb question - my Dad is going to be installing Ubuntu on a computer of his, I want to be able to login remotely and use the desktop and/or command line from another ubuntu to machine (to do fixes, change his user config etc...)... what should I be looking at - VNC?
[02:28] <rich115> i dont know how, i formated the second drive
[02:28] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Someone told me I have to change the hd0/1 parameter.
[02:28] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 AT THE COMMAND LINE DO A "fdisk -l" and look for the drive that has NTFS.
[02:28] <LinuxGUY> Is there a way to check the ink levels in my printer, through some software on Ubuntu?
[02:28] <zeroglitch> can someone help me with a dns question for ics between windows and ubuntu?
[02:28] <Cplunsford> r00tintheb0x, still working on that?
[02:28] <ShackJack> !ask | zeroglitch
[02:29] <ubotu> zeroglitch: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:29] <r00tintheb0x> kazol if you're doing it in suse you may have to edit the /boot/grub/boot.cfg file...
[02:29] <bendover> for some reason, everytime i try to run a .php from the browser, it tries to download it instead of opening it... can someone help me?
[02:29] <fujin> ShackJack: ssh
[02:29] <zeroglitch> hehe ok
[02:29] <r00tintheb0x> kazol it'd be hd0,0 not what you said.
[02:29] <rich115> i did it nothing happened
[02:29] <r00tintheb0x> Cplunsford working on what... sorry im extremely ADD.
[02:29] <Cplunsford> what does ssh stand for, secured shell?
[02:29] <r00tintheb0x> yes Cplunsford
[02:29] <ShackJack> fujin: But will I be able to click around in his desktop etc... (or course I want to do C/L stuff to, but some stuff in GUI as well)?
[02:29] <rich115> i did the fdisk thing and nothing hapened
[02:29] <n2diy_> ShackJack: take a look in menu> system > pref. > remote desktop
[02:29] <Xbehave> ive installed java 1.5 and java 1.6 but a program is telling me i need to update?, how do i fix this?
[02:29] <g[r] eek> bendover: try ask in #web
[02:30] <zeroglitch> i have xp and ubuntuu sharing files, the only way i can get ubuntu to work with internet is throwing the ip address in the webbrowser
[02:30] <bendover> g[r] eek:  thx
[02:30] <fujin> ShackJack: use VNC then, x11vnc probably if you want to attach to an already running session
[02:30] <r00tintheb0x> rich
[02:30] <r00tintheb0x> do a "sudo fdisk -l"
[02:30] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: So it's a common issue and easy to edit the file?
[02:30] <r00tintheb0x> sorry
[02:30] <r00tintheb0x> kazol what are you booting from?
[02:30] <rich115> ok
[02:30] <r00tintheb0x> CDROM or Hard disk?
[02:30] <ShackJack> n2diy_: fuji - O.K. thanks both - networking isn't my thing will have a look at those...
[02:30] <rich115> i found the master drive
[02:31] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Hopefully the netinstall CD would have the option. I had trouble creating a floppy.
[02:31] <r00tintheb0x> ShackJack i'd sugguest using tightvnc... its more developed that vnc
[02:31] <rich115> what now? i did the command and found my master drive
[02:31] <r00tintheb0x> kazol okay, so you have ubuntu already installed on a hard drive and grub is jacked up?
[02:31] <ShackJack> r00tintheb0x: gracias - will have a look
[02:32] <r00tintheb0x> ok rich what is it
[02:32] <r00tintheb0x> sda?
[02:32] <r00tintheb0x> sure thing ShackJack
[02:32] <rich115> /dev/hda
[02:32] <Cplunsford> Hey, I have another questiond, has anyone had any sucess with dmraid and ntfs-3g
[02:32] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 grub-install /dev/hda
[02:32] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Actually it's SuSe-no one could answer my question in the other channels.
[02:32] <breodje> how can i open the Linux screen reader settings dialog, please
[02:32] <Cplunsford> or whatever the really good ntfs support driver is called
[02:32] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 i meant "sudo grub-install /dev/hda"
[02:33] <zeroglitch> anyhows, somewhere obviously dns isn't translating. Any clues where to go for this?
[02:33] <ShackJack> Cplunsford: ntfs-3g is the bomb - install that and ntfs-config...
[02:33] <r00tintheb0x> kazol its not a hard issue.
[02:33] <rich115> i got an error
[02:33] <rich115> sudo grub-install /dev/hda
[02:33] <rich115> oops
[02:33] <r00tintheb0x> okay kazol no problem.
[02:33] <rich115> here is the error:
[02:33] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Are there alternate ways to boot? Could I just use a LiveCD?
[02:33] <Cplunsford> ntfs-3g is the bomb, but I get errors when i try to use it with my dmraid controlled 'windows software raid'
[02:33] <rich115> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[02:33] <rich115> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[02:33] <r00tintheb0x> hmm
[02:34] <Cplunsford> dmraid sees the drive, the partition, but won't mount it
[02:34] <n2diy_> zeroglitch: menu > system > networking ?
[02:34] <r00tintheb0x> kazol do you have a /dev/hdb?
[02:34] <khin> how do i tell whether my OS is a 64 bit version
[02:34] <Dimensions> Hi ... i have had backuped my hdd as .tgz i have extracted it but when i boot the system it shows me all old and new kernels in grub ... loads booting splash screen but stops there .... What should i do ??
[02:34] <r00tintheb0x> khin "uname -a"
[02:34] <r00tintheb0x> might tell you.
[02:34] <Cplunsford> there is a show kernal command
[02:34] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: hda, hdc
[02:34] <n2diy_> zeroglitch: menu > system > admin > networking ?
[02:34] <Cplunsford> uname -a
[02:34] <Cplunsford> thats it

[02:34] <rich115> what now? i got this error: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[02:34] <rich115> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[02:34] <nimbo> i686
[02:34] <r00tintheb0x> Dimensions reinstall grub
[02:34] <r00tintheb0x> rich do you have a hdb?
[02:34] <rich115> yes
[02:35] <rich115> i think thats the slave
[02:35] <khin> Linux someone-laptop 2.6.15-28-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu May 10 09:45:43 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[02:35] <r00tintheb0x> kazol what drive is Suse installed on?
[02:35] <zeroglitch> that's where i setup the dns yeah. even used resolv.conf
[02:35] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: both?
[02:35] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 ubuntu is installed on your slave or master drive?
[02:35] <zeroglitch> i have 3 computers networked
[02:35] <LinuxGUY> Is there a way to check ink levels in my printer?  `ink -p "usb"` doesn't seem to be able to locate my printers.
[02:35] <rich115> well it used to be installed on the slave, i removed it
[02:35] <r00tintheb0x> kazol i doubt that, what does "fdisk -l" show?
[02:35] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 how did you "remove it"?
[02:35] <LinuxGUY> So is tehre another piece of software I can use?
[02:35] <rich115> and thats how i got to the point of not booting windows naymore
[02:35] <khin> does that mean my OS is not 64 bit?
[02:35] <rich115> oh
[02:35] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: I have software RAID-1-they should be exactly identical.
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> not sure LinuxGUY use synaptic to poke around.
[02:36] <rich115> i went in windows and deleted the partition on the slave with ubuntu on it
[02:36] <zeroglitch> 2 xp machines work for ics and filesharing,
[02:36] <nimbo> khin: no it's 32bit kernel
[02:36] <voidmage> What can I use to view .pic images?
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> kazol lol
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> kazol is this a server?
[02:36] <khin> how do i tell that
[02:36] <Cplunsford> has anyone gotten mean looks from African American customers when you try to explain them that there is a problem with their slave drive?
[02:36] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Yes, what's so funny?
[02:36] <Cplunsford> I know I have
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> rich115 then your only option is a Windows XP cd.
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> nothing kazol though it was a desktop.
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> kazol no problem.
[02:36] <rich115> and do fixboot and fixmbr?
[02:37] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Btw is 10GB ok for a dedicated webserver?
[02:37] <pandora--> is it possible to upgrade ubuntu to the latest, without wiping out my system?
[02:37] <r00tintheb0x> kazol you need to mount the root or boot partition of one of your drives and edit that file.
[02:37] <RodGo> i just downloaded this package http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=ActionCube
[02:37] <r00tintheb0x> okay kazol
[02:37] <RodGo> how i install it?
[02:37] <RodGo> its to .deb files
[02:37] <r00tintheb0x> RodGo click the picture
[02:37] <RodGo> 2 files
[02:37] <khin> nimbo, how do i tell from that info that my kernel is 32 bit
[02:37] <r00tintheb0x> save them to your desktop and double click them RodGo
[02:38] <eboyjr> Anyone know the command for running the "File Browser"?
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> eboyjr nautalis
[02:38] <ShackJack> eboyjr: nautilus
[02:38] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: So I could use a Ubuntu LiveCD and mount the 2nd drive from there?
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> or maybe that.
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> heh
[02:38] <n2diy_> eboyjr: Nautilus
[02:38] <PurpZeY> !vnc
[02:38] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> yes kazol
[02:38] <ShackJack> eboyjr: or sudo nautlius to run as root :)
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> kazol you have suse installed?
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> kazol do you have a suse boot cd?
[02:38] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Only netinstall
[02:38] <Stwange> with GAIM, how do you log in? I have two accounts and I just logged out of one but I have no idea how to log in with the other
[02:38] <Ominous> hmm if i click the beryl sys tray icon then go select window manager then beryl it makes windows flsah but dosent change settings
[02:39] <nimbo> khin: uname -m
[02:39] <eboyjr> r00tintheb0x, ShackJack n2diy_  Thanks a million.
[02:39] <n2diy_> ShackJack: that should be gksudo for nautilus.
[02:39] <r00tintheb0x> okay kazol netinstall should work but if you're not experienced the ubuntu live cd may be more comfortable.
[02:39] <r00tintheb0x> no probl eboyjr
[02:39] <DarthShrine> Ominous, Are they enabled?
[02:39] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Is there a way to get a GRUB floppy image? "make"/"dd"/copying files does not work for me.
[02:39] <Ominous> what do you mean?
[02:39] <ShackJack> n2diy_: Could be either ;-)
[02:39] <n2diy_> ! gksudo | ShackJack
[02:39] <ubotu> ShackJack: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[02:39] <PurpZeY> What is the most common way to share files over a secure small home network? Like mp3s from one PC to another?
[02:39] <DarthShrine> Ominous, There should be a checkbox next to them in the accounts dialog.
[02:39] <r00tintheb0x> kazol you can dd it to an floppy but thats about all i know.
[02:39] <r00tintheb0x> kazol can you burn anything?
[02:40] <r00tintheb0x> well you're in here i guess you have another computer.
[02:40] <Ominous> DarthShrine, accounts dialogue?
[02:40] <r00tintheb0x> brb gotta reboot kazol dont go anywhere
[02:40] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Sure; and what's the path of the GRUB file?
[02:40] <kazol> ok
[02:40] <zeroglitch> hehe i got it
[02:40] <iphv37> anyone knows SPL sounds' website??
[02:40] <DarthShrine> Ominous, Accounts->Add/Edit? (I use Pidgin so I'm hoping it's the same)
[02:41] <zeroglitch> i had to put the default gateway for my 2nd computer into my 3rd computers dns list
[02:41] <Ominous> no
[02:41] <DarthShrine> No..?

[02:44] <spAcE> Anyone know how i can get my top panel back

[02:44] <ShackJack> eboyjr: Could be either... my gksudo has issues - no hard (in this case) using sudo - only have to enter p/w once and of course keep the parent terminal open..

[02:46] <spAcE> applications, places, system
[02:46] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: yes, I'm downloading the Suse 9.3 liveCD.
[02:46] <eboyjr> spAcE, You have to put them in maunually... You right click on the top panel and click Add to panel

[02:46] <spAcE> i got it
[02:47] <bnal1> rr makes you use a script to dial in - i searched the internet but didn't find much - anyone know how to make it work in ubuntu?
[02:47] <spAcE> thanks
[02:47] <munoz> ls
[02:48] <kazol> r00tintheb0x: Are you there?
[02:48] <blade252> hi
[02:50] <kazol> Where is everyone?
[02:50] <breodje> how can i autostart root services, for example laptop_mode
[02:50] <logreeval> Hi, how do i install the Java .bin file?
[02:50] <teratoma> logreeval: sh java-asdfasdfasdfasdfasd.bin
[02:50] <teratoma> that probably made no sense , sorry
[02:50] <teratoma> it's a sh script
[02:50] <teratoma> sh <filename>.bin
[02:50] <logreeval> in the terminal?
[02:51] <teratoma> yes
[02:51] <teratoma> you might need
[02:51] <teratoma> sh ./filename.bin
[02:51] <ShackJack> !enter | teratoma
[02:51] <ubotu> teratoma: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:51] <logreeval> ok
[02:51] <logreeval> thanks
[02:51] <n2diy_> teratoma: a bash shell script, bash is what runs your terminal.
[02:51] <jrib> !java > logreeval (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:51] <teratoma> tough crowd
[02:51] <jrib> logreeval: don't use the .bin
[02:51] <logreeval> ok
[02:51] <mavsman4457> Is there any way to install a kernel in the live cd or kboot and get the original kernel from the live cd onto my ubuntu without having to reinstall ubuntu altogether?
[02:51] <logreeval> thanks
[02:51] <breodje> how can i run laptop_mode as system service
[02:51] <mavsman4457> or get*
[02:52] <logreeval> why is the .bin file available if i may ask?
[02:52] <n2diy_> mavsman4457: Synaptic, or apt-get can install kernels.
[02:52] <jrib> logreeval: sun provides it, but use the packages java is much better
[02:52] <jrib> using even
[02:52] <ShackJack> mavsman4457: sudp aptitude install linux-generic
[02:52] <logreeval> ah
[02:52] <ShackJack> *sudo
[02:53] <mavsman4457> n2diy_: Even if I am trying to install the kernel for my ubuntu but through the live cd?
[02:53] <mavsman4457> ShackJack: same question as above
[02:53] <n2diy_> mavsman4457: don't know about that, never tried it.
[02:53] <ShackJack> mavsman4457: Can't you select recovery mode from GRUB?
[02:53] <mavsman4457> ShackJack: how do I do that?
[02:54] <mavsman4457> and what would it do
[02:54] <Scunizi> mavsman4457, so your running the live cd and you want to install a different kernel and use it in the live cd?  If true you'd need to create a new live cd to run the kernel you want.
[02:54] <mavsman4457> I want to install a new kernel for my normla ubuntu, not the live cd, because my kernel got messed up and I am unable to boot up
[02:55] <zenmonk> If I want to dual boot between linux and xp, what filesystem can I use that both partitions will be able to read and write to?  Will ext2 work?
[02:55] <logreeval> I dont understand how to add the multiverse
[02:55] <ShackJack> mavsman4457: From grub menu - either sleect recovery mode or select an older kernel (if you havent dleeted them)
[02:55] <bnal1> RR dialup help anyone?
[02:55] <ponicg> zenmonk, fat32 is the best bet - although there is some support for ntfs r/w.
[02:55] <ShackJack> logreeval: Prefs -> Software sources and check it off in first tab...
[02:55] <ponicg> zenmonk, I'm not sure how good/bad NTFS read/write is. I use it... but I don't know how safe it is.
[02:55] <n2diy_> mavsman4457: So boot from the cd, and run Synaptic, and get a new kernel?
[02:55] <ShackJack> logreeval: Erp.. Admin->Software Sources
[02:56] <teratoma> how do i get my sound to work after resuming after a hibernation or suspend ?
[02:56] <logreeval> its checked, so...it should work, correct?
[02:56] <Scunizi> mavsman4457, ok.. if it won't boot at all, ie. no grub appearing, and it's a fresh install, you may just need to reinstall grub so you can boot, then load the kernel you want.
[02:56] <zenmonk> ponicg: I thought NTFS was still at read only stage?  And If I use  fat32 isn't there the possibility of data loss since it has no journaling or system volume information like ntfs or ext2?
[02:56] <mavsman4457> ShackJack: How do I get to the GRUB menu?  What can I do in recovery mode?
[02:56] <khin> if i edit my sources.list file and the repository is for the wrong version of ubuntu, would that potentially mess up the list of software from the repository
[02:56] <aroo> zenmonk: you can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g, but it's dangerous
[02:56] <ShackJack> mavsman4457: Just boot up you should se it... If not -> http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/how-to-restore-grub-using-the-ubuntu-live-cd/
[02:57] <mavsman4457> Scunizi: well I can get to the kboot prompt
[02:57] <jrib> khin: yes, potentially
[02:57] <mavsman4457> is the kboot prompt the GRUB?
[02:57] <peepsalot> anyone here dual boot between different linux distros?
[02:57] <ShackJack> aroo: zenmonk ntfs-3g is quite stable now...
[02:57] <khin> im getting an error " Unable to find expected entry  main-amd64/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" from some repository
[02:57] <aroo> zenmonk: i have a fat32 partition shared between my windows/linux boots and haven't had any problems yet
[02:57] <ponicg> zenmonk, It's readwrite. I am writing to it now.
[02:57] <jrib> khin: potentially it could be even worse and break your system if you start upgrading stuff
[02:57] <Scunizi> mavsman4457, kboot prompt?  does that mean a shell?  is it text mode and asking you to log in?
[02:57] <peepsalot> i upgraded ubuntu kernel and it broke my fedora boot
[02:57] <jrib> khin: what repository?
[02:58] <misty> hi all
[02:58] <mavsman4457> well it just says press enter to boot up
[02:58] <misty> can someone tell me how to get a config file back if I have scrwed it up?
[02:58] <ShackJack> Whhoops.. "Hell's Kitchen" is on - gotta go! :)
[02:58] <misty> I tried apt-get --reinstall install
[02:58] <misty> but that doesn't put the default config files back
[02:58] <n2diy_> mavsman4457: no other options?
[02:58] <Scunizi> mavsman4457, and then what happens when you press enter?
[02:58] <jrib> misty: easiest way, purge and then install again
[02:58] <misty> ok
[02:58] <misty> is purge different than clean?
[02:59] <jrib> misty: yes, you purge a package
[02:59] <khin> the first part is Failed to fetch http://janvitus.interfree.it/ubuntu/dists/dapper-upure64/Release . the line i added is deb http://janvitus.interfree.it/ubuntu/ dapper-upure64 main-amd64
[02:59] <misty> I don't know how to do it
[02:59] <mavsman4457> Scunizi: when I press enter it tries to boot up but then stops at a certain point because the kernel is messed up
[02:59] <jrib> misty: aptitude purge PACKAGE_NAME
[02:59] <logreeval> i got it, thanks guys
[02:59] <Scunizi> mavsman4457, can you CTRL+ALT+F2 and get into another terminal?
