[00:00] <DJ_Cranky> BobCFC because root is the owner there is no way for me to access it
[00:00] <drash> cyphase: same here .. might give it a try though, the screenlets package is nice, but a bit heavy on my limited CPU / RAM resources ;)
[00:00] <neglesaks> g'day mates
[00:00] <NewfieLinux> keech you there?
[00:00] <Y-Town> I am getting ready to install a 1 TB drive in my home server for sharing/storage and to run vmware.  Any suggestions on a partitioning set up that would work well for my situation?
[00:00] <Keech> DJ_Cranky: what is the file/folder
[00:00] <BobCFC> DJ_Cranky: yousaid it was already samba group?
[00:00] <Keech> NewfieLinux: fixing to test now
[00:00] <NewfieLinux> k
[00:00] <Keech> so i might get kicked offline
[00:00] <zvacet> !samba | ferbyboy
[00:00] <Keech> brb
[00:00] <BobCFC> DJ_Cranky: anyway with sudo you can do anything
[00:00] <cyphase> drash: maybe this will end up turning into some sort of new widgets program that's included in the next Ubuntu. who knows
[00:00] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: how fast is the disk?
[00:01] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: 7200 sata drive
[00:01] <chuck__> Hi, whenever i update Ubuntu that requires a reboot, the firewall blocks all network traffic, is there a way to avoid this?
[00:01] <DJ_Cranky> BobCFC yes i understand now
[00:01] <DJ_Cranky> i sudo -s and cd into folder how do i chmod BobCFC
[00:01] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: and how many virtual machines were you planning to run?
[00:01] <NewfieLinux> Guys what linux mmo should I play?
[00:01] <drash> cyphase: probably yes, thx for the info
[00:02] <fyrestrtr> NewfieLinux: #ubuntu-chat
[00:02] <NewfieLinux> k
[00:02] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: 1 Win Xp.... this will also run 24/7 for business software i cant port  :o(
[00:02] <tuxone> chuck__: you use iptables?
[00:02] <BobCFC> DJ_Cranky: something like    sudo usermod -a MYNAME sambagroup  will add you to the group
[00:02] <DJ_Cranky> BobCFC i am in the group, that did not help
[00:02] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: Running 2 gig of ram and may boost to 4 if needed
[00:03] <BobCFC> DJ_Cranky: does the group have read/write permission?
[00:03] <grendel> h
[00:03] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: to get the most out of 4GB you'll need the 64-bit kernel.
[00:03] <Tstantonfsu> hey i was wondering if anyone could teach me how to get the program that makes it so you can zoom out and see your desktop as a 3d cube
[00:03] <chuck__> tuxone - i just disable in guarddog, but have iptables rules that allow bothway traffic
[00:03] <DJ_Cranky> BobCFC it obviously doesnt because i cant change anything :(
[00:03] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: it is installed by default
[00:03] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: will 64 bit kernal work on intel duo 3.4?
[00:04] <Tstantonfsu> how do i use it?
[00:04] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: do you have desktop effect enabled?
[00:04] <DJ_Cranky> BobCFC if i understand correctly i need to do a chmod of it under sudo how do i do that?
[00:04] <Usiu> Jack_Sparrow: ????
[00:04] <BobCFC>   sudo  chmod  g+w /some/file/here
[00:04] <Tstantonfsu> not sure :x
[00:04] <Tstantonfsu> how do i check
[00:04] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: what video card do you have?
[00:04] <Tstantonfsu> errr sec
[00:04] <tuxone> chuck__: are you completly sure of your rules?
[00:04] <AlexCONRAD> hi, can I use apt-get to install local packages ? or I can only do it this way? dpkg -i mypackage.deb ?
[00:04] <Tstantonfsu> geforce 7000m i think
[00:04] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: if you want to share files from your vmware guest and your ubuntu machine, then you'll need a FAT32 partition; suggest you make one 10 GB and mount it as /win-share, mount 40 GB as /virtual-disk ext3, and the rest /storage with xfs
[00:04] <thesilentwarrior> whats the key to change viewports btw
[00:04] <Tstantonfsu> its a nvidia
[00:04] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: do you have the Nvidia driver installed already?
[00:04] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: what is the processor family?
[00:04] <BobCFC> DJ_Cranky: to enable group writable try    sudo  chmod  g+w /some/file/here
[00:04] <Tstantonfsu> err let em checm
[00:05] <NewfieLinux> Results yet keech?
[00:05] <Tstantonfsu> yes
[00:05] <Tstantonfsu> its installed
[00:05] <Keech> am i still here?
[00:05] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: intel dual core
[00:05] <NewfieLinux> Yes
[00:05] <Keech> NewfieLinux: i have an even biger problem.....i cant install it

[00:05] <Tstantonfsu> ok thanks
[00:05] <alexander_> ich suche ein programm für icq unter linux
[00:05] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: then you probably have desktop effects enabled, can you switch between virtual desktop when scrolling on the Desktop?
[00:05] <chuck__> tuxone - will send iptables -L , which pastebin should i use?
[00:06] <NewfieLinux> Whats wrong with it?
[00:06] <Tstantonfsu> yes
[00:06] <Keech> NewfieLinux: its my computer
[00:06] <NewfieLinux> Dam,try asking gin
[00:06] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: should work just fine.
[00:06] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: then you probably have desktop effects enabled, can you switch between virtual desktop when scrolling on the Desktop?
[00:06] <NewfieLinux> He helped me with same problem
[00:06] <Keech> NewfieLinux: hen its gets to the starting adminstator part to install it ...it never starts it...
[00:06] <Tstantonfsu> yes i can
[00:06] <NewfieLinux> Hmmm
[00:06] <Keech> NewfieLinux: is there a way to install that from the terminal?
[00:06] <NewfieLinux> thats odd
[00:06] <Keech> i know
[00:06] <cyphase> drash: np
[00:07] <Gin> Keech: did you click on the Intall button to install?
[00:07] <drash> Tstantonfsu: you'll need to make some config changes in ccsm (the compizcompiz settings manager) for the cube, it's all explained in the link
[00:07] <Keech> I had to install xchat with termainal
[00:07] <Keech> Gin: lol yah
[00:07] <Tstantonfsu> ok thanks
[00:07] <Gin> Keech: what happened next?
[00:07] <alexander_> icq for linux?
[00:07] <DJ_Cranky> now for another question, i have ubuntu running on my desktop and laptop, laptop can see desktop on network but desktop cannot see laptop??
[00:07] <thesilentwarrior> DJ_Cranky: did u do it?
[00:07] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: in your partitioning, how much to /
[00:07] <Keech> Gin: it said it was starting adminastator and then nothing
[00:07] <DJ_Cranky> thesilentwarrior yes i did, would you like to know how
[00:07] <thesilentwarrior> ofc
[00:07] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: install simple-ccsm
[00:08] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: you are going to use the disk as the primary system disk, or additional storage?
[00:08] <tuxone> chuck__: i normally use this rulles
[00:08] <tuxone> iptables -t nat -Fiptables -Fiptables -Xiptables -Z
[00:08] <grobda24> Is there a simple to access windows shares on a LAN from Ubuntu. Samba has me pulling my hair out again. Should I even be using Samba ? :]
[00:08] <Gin> Keech: did a small window show up with a progressbar??
[00:08] <grobda24> way*
[00:08] <DJ_Cranky> thesilentwarrior sudo -s | cd /var/lib/samba | chmod 777 usershares    - |'s indicate new lines of terminal code
[00:08] <fyrestrtr> grobda24: Places > Network
[00:08] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: primary... i want to be able to use the system but we wont just "play" on it
[00:08] <m_newton> Hey
[00:09] <Keech> Gin: at the bottom yah like a window....thats where is say Staarting Adminastrator and then nothing
[00:09] <thesilentwarrior> DJ_Cranky: chmod: cannot access `usershares': No such file or directory
[00:09] <BobCFC> DJ_Cranky: as long as you know 777 gives world writable privilages
[00:09] <Keech> Gin: I had the same problem before with xChta i could not install it with syanptic  i had to use sudo apt-get
[00:09] <Keech> the synpatic failed the exact same way
[00:09] <Gin> Keech: that is what yuget when you press on Install?
[00:09] <DJ_Cranky> BobCFC i am only one who uses this on a private LAN, dont really care, and yes i know
[00:09] <grobda24> fyrestrtr ... thanks, I can see the sahre machine names, but the actual share directories never connect.
[00:09] <grobda24> share*
[00:09] <Usiu> Jack_Sparrow: how to reset gnome-mount settings ?
[00:10] <Usiu> Jack_Sparrow: mount options in it
[00:10] <DJ_Cranky> thesilentwarrior try mkdir usershares?
[00:10] <Gin> Keech: in the terminal you can use dpkg -i filename    to install it
[00:10] <Keech> Gin: there is something wrong with ubuntu i think now.....i cant even run Update
[00:10] <chuck__> tuxone - hmm, i get iptables v1.3.8: Can't use -F with -F

[00:10] <grobda24> fyrestrtr ... oh wait a moment I've got something.
[00:10] <Keech> legend2440: yeah Exact same thing
[00:10] <Gin> Keech: is this  a fresh install or an upgrade?
[00:10] <DJ_Cranky> thesilentwarrior you sudo'd right/.
[00:10] <DJ_Cranky> ?
[00:10] <supertanker> What's the difference between BSD and Linux?
[00:10] <Keech> fresh
[00:10] <drash> anyone having these kind of nm_dbus_init warnings ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=677329
[00:10] <Gin> Keech: probably bad download.. :\
[00:11] <BobCFC> akahige: the next version of gnome 2.24 is supposed to fix that
[00:11] <zvacet> Y-Town : can you give me min to find link how to share files between vmware and Ubuntu
[00:11] <p1> Anyone good at vnc? I set everything up correctly however I get a gray screen when  VNC into the remote machine. The weird this is I'm able to log in just fine via XDMCP from a remote machine. I just can't log in while in a session via VNC. I can remote share and all that good stuff I want to be able to log in to the remote machine via gdm.
[00:11] <thesilentwarrior> DJ_Cranky: yes,  sudo -s | cd /var/lib/samba | chmod 777 Share
[00:11] <Keech> it just started this today wasnt doing it before
[00:11] <burner> supertanker: what's hte same?
[00:11] <legend2440> Keech: can you paste your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname    files . i'm pretty sure i know whats wrong
[00:11] <akahige> BobCFC: thanks.  is there an approx. date for that?
[00:11] <kitche> !offtopic | supertanker I'll anwser in the offtopic channel if you like
[00:11] <DJ_Cranky> thesilentwarrior you need to chmod 777 usershares not Share
[00:11] <Keech> legend2440: yeah i will give me just a sec
[00:11] <supertanker> Oh, thanks kitche
[00:11] <LAU_> if i upgraded from Ubunutu 7.04 to 7.10 from the Update Manager. Will data loss for any folder or files occur ? which means do i need to back up all my data?
[00:11] <Y-Town> zvacet: yes
[00:12] <thesilentwarrior> DJ_Cranky: Share is the name of folder
[00:12] <thesilentwarrior> i created
[00:12] <BobCFC> supertanker: history,  BSD comes from the old UNIX code from 60s 70s,  linux was started from scrath in 91
[00:12] <burner> LAU_: always good to back up, but don't expect any data loss
[00:12] <DJ_Cranky> thesilentwarrior the folder needs to be called usershares in order for samba service to work with it
[00:12] <drash> LAU: you should be ok, although a backup of your data is always handy
[00:12] <supertanker> Ah
[00:12] <tuxone> drash: I'm agree
[00:12] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: ah, then create /boot with 150 MB ext, /home with 100 GB ext3, /win-share 40 GB FAT32, /vms 100 GB ext3, /storage 250 GB xfs, /swap 8 GB, /tmp 5 GB and / the rest.
[00:13]  * jokoon is away:
[00:13] <BobCFC> supertanker: BSD can run linux programs they are almost identical,  but BSD is older and programs not so up to date...  no compiz etc
[00:13] <DJ_Cranky> does anyone know why my laptop can see my desktop but desktop can't see laptop on a network, but DAAP music shares work so its not a connection problem?
[00:13] <BCM43> !away > jokoon
[00:13] <thesilentwarrior> DJ_Cranky: same error ><
[00:13] <LAU_> so i just upgrade and it will go rigth coz if i wanna backup i have around 25GB :SS: soo huge data? so do advise me to upgrade now witout backup?
[00:13] <kitche> BobCFC: umm actually your a bit wrong there
[00:13] <perez> hi, i'm using a 248 MB pendrive to install ubuntu 8.04 I download boot.img.gz and mini.iso then did zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb1 (pendrive) but only 16 MB is the total space of the pendrive what i did wrong?
[00:13] <fyrestrtr> DJ_Cranky: maybe they don't like each other, except they have similar music tastes?
[00:13] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: perfect thanks
[00:13] <soundray> LAU_: remember, data you haven't backed up is data you don't want
[00:13] <drash> tuxone: know of any fixes for those by any change ?
[00:14] <DJ_Cranky> fyrestrtr i wish it was that simple, only thing i can think of is bad samba on desktop?
[00:14] <jokoon> sorry didn't know xchat do a /me on alt + a
[00:14] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: not sure if those all add up :) Its 2 AM here.
[00:14] <fyrestrtr> DJ_Cranky: both machines are Linux?
[00:14] <DJ_Cranky> both ubuntu 8.04
[00:14] <BobCFC> kitche: compizfusion on bsd?   well it was first exampe of modern program.. they are behind in version u must admit
[00:14] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: No but I get the idea  :o)
[00:14] <fyrestrtr> DJ_Cranky: then install ssh on both and forget samba.
[00:15]  * jokoon is away: dodo
[00:15] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: basically split your file locations, you want a lot of swap for sure.
[00:15] <DJ_Cranky> fyrestrtr would that allow me to share files?
[00:15] <kitche> BobCFC: not sure I know compiz is 0.6.2 and compiz-fusion is 0.6.0
[00:15] <Keech> legend2440: Hosts file is http://paste.ubuntu.com/17349/
[00:15] <Jaffarkelshac> whats a good ipod management software, rythmbox and banshee just mess things up

[00:15] <LAU_>  man i mean if i wanna upgrade from ubunutu 7.04 to 7.10 using the update manager ,do i need to back up data ? will data loss occur ?
[00:16] <zvacet>  Y-Town:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=652640
[00:16] <___Alex___> the howtos specifically state that they are as OLD.
[00:16] <BCM43> !anyone | ___Alex___
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> LAU_ Sounds like you dont backup very often.. no I would not upgrade without a backup
[00:16] <Tstantonfsu> gen
[00:16] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: putting the kernels in a separate partition helps for recovery, /home in separate helps when backing up, /win-share for sharing items between your vm guest and host; although strictly speaking, if your vmnet is setup correctly you can remove that partition. / should contain only things for the core system, /tmp -- I make it separate as well, but you can choose to combine it if you like.
[00:16] <Y-Town> zvacet: Thank Youi
[00:16] <Keech> legend2440: and the hostname is http://paste.ubuntu.com/17350/

[00:17] <f0rmat> please i really would like to get my GUI fixed before i end up going insane it is seriously getting me down this is the 4th time Ubuntu 8.04 has done this and it puts me off using ubuntu for this reason i mean it just randomly out of the blue whent to low graphics the resolution failed and then the keyboard switched to en-US layout i mean the whole system reverted to some kind of safe mode theme :S
[00:17] <soundray> LAU_: not normally, but when you do something like an upgrade, it's typically the time when something stupid happens, like a powercut
[00:17] <legend2440> Keech: ok 1 sec

[00:18] <lizard_> f0rmat: i just transferred my files to another dive and am trying to reinstall 8.04 after video crashed
[00:18] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: I'd put the virtual machines in a separate partition only because if you want to use (read: mount) the virtual machines from another box, it becomes easier. Although depending on how you want to use the system, if its going to be minimal use and just a vmhost, then you can even do more tweaking on the software side.
[00:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !pm | LAU_
[00:18] <grobda24> f0rmat ... if you don't get an answer here document the behviour and make a forum post.

[00:19] <drash> Keech: don't know .. :) i'm from belgium if that might jog anything
[00:19] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: you have to set the # of virtual desktops to 4 to get a cube

[00:22] <Y-Town> fyrestrtr: will kmymoney import a QB backup file?
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !info compiz
[00:22] <Starnestommy> er, seyed: was it alias ll="ls -a"?
[00:22] <legend2440> Keech: ok
[00:22] <sago> no just a c++ compiler
[00:22] <seyed> STarnestommy,,,,,its an alias?
[00:23] <sago> today someone told me one that looks like borland c
[00:23] <seyed> sorry
[00:23] <sago> but i forgot the name
[00:23] <seyed> i men ls -l
[00:23] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: yes, I believe it does. For more robust options, use GnuCash.
[00:23] <sago> if was something like altuja
[00:23] <zvacet> good night
[00:23] <Starnestommy> sago: anjuta?
[00:23] <m_newton> In ftp there are many SHELLS how do i choose one?????
[00:23] <fyrestrtr> Y-Town: which is more like a proper business finance package.
[00:23]  * Alan_M yeah
[00:23] <BobCFC> sago anjuta
[00:23] <ariqs> you want an IDE that uses the regular gcc compiler. the IDE is what will "look" like borland c
[00:23] <Starnestommy> seyed: try this: alias ll="ls -l"
[00:24] <Alan_M> sorry guys..didnt mean to do that in here.
[00:24] <ariqs> anyway, sago, I don't remember what borland looks like, but try dev c++
[00:24] <sago> i think that's it..
[00:24] <m_newton> !ftpd
[00:24] <sago> thank you..
[00:24] <m_newton> !proftpd

[00:25] <Starnestommy> seyed: was it in .bashrc?
[00:25] <seyed> no in .profile
[00:25] <seyed> it has to be in bashrc?
[00:25] <Starnestommy> seyed: that's where the aliases are normally kept

[00:29] <mike> i havent
[00:29] <akahige> can anybody answer a gdm theme question...?
[00:29] <brian88> mike: yes. VGA drivers. or apply restricted driver if you can
[00:30] <drash> hi kima .. that's ok, any problems running ubuntu ?
[00:30] <mike> i installed restricted
[00:30] <mike> it happend
[00:30] <mike> then i tried envy
[00:30] <mike> and it happend
[00:30] <mike> tried updating kernel
[00:30] <___Alex___> ok, simpler question (I just figured out my synce issue)
[00:30] <mike> and it happend
[00:30] <fyrestrtr> !envy | mike
[00:30] <FloodBot3> mike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> mike so.. yes, you were tweeking video drivers and this happened
[00:30] <brian88> kima: yes, many users. :))
[00:30] <___Alex___> how can I have two network devices enabled simultaneously?  ubuntu seems like it only wants one enabled
[00:30] <drash> akahige: maybe .. what's the question ?
[00:31] <mike> Jack_Sparrow i tried doing a fresh install, and just enabling restricted
[00:31] <kima> really? ok. have to go, i will explain later.
[00:31] <Fungusman> NEw Ubuntu rocks !
[00:31] <mike> it still happend
[00:31] <Fungusman> 8lts works !
[00:31] <___Alex___> how can I have two network devices enabled simultaneously?  ubuntu seems like it only wants one enabled
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> mike see fyrestrtr 's link for envyng
[00:31] <akahige> drash: I've got 2 monitors.  is there a way to extend the theme / background across both screens (or is that hard coded into the theme)?
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !repeat | ___Alex___
[00:31] <daedra> how do I make rsync respect differences in files?
[00:31] <daedra> all it seems to be doing right now is overwriting the differences
[00:32] <mike> Jack_Sparrow where do i c those?
[00:32] <___Alex___> !patience
[00:32] <BobCFC> akahige: take a screenshot of you desktop then cut and paste two wallpapers together on top in GIMP
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[00:32] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: you want two network devices (ie, two separate cards) or one device has two addresses?
[00:32] <mike> ! envy
[00:32] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: two network devices, two different networks
[00:32] <mike> !envy
[00:32] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: what's the problem you are facing?
[00:32] <BobCFC> akahige: you can find screenshot in Applications ->accessories
[00:32] <selocol> hello i don't have man strftime. what do i need to install to get it? thanks
[00:33]  * lizard_ will wait to hear Fungusman yell when video crsahes
[00:33] <xintron> I'm searching for a app like samurize for ubuntu, suggestions?
[00:33] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: synce uses eth2...  I'd like to be able to sync and be on the internet at the same time
[00:33] <mike> Jack_Sparrow how does that solve anything, it just tells me wat envy is, ive tried envy and it has also failed me
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> mike sudo apt-get install envyng              but I may be wrong
[00:33] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: e.g., eth0
[00:33] <akahige> BobCFC: it's not the desktop I'm after, it's the background in the gdm theme
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> mike did you try the online envy and not envyng?
[00:34] <Tstantonfsu> gin can you give me a guide on how to change my background and teh way my icons and all that
[00:34] <BobCFC> akahige: then you will have base for image that is correct size
[00:34] <mike> Jack_Sparrow accutally i did not, how do u access that?
[00:34] <akahige> BobCFC: I see what you mean.  thanks
[00:34] <BobCFC> akahige: use it like a template
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> mike did you try envyng?
[00:34] <mike> Jack_Sparrow yes i have envyng and i have tried it
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> mike do not use the online envy
[00:34] <Gin> Tstantonfsu: nope, I haven't done it myself, try google
[00:34] <Tstantonfsu> alright thanks for the help
[00:35] <mike> Jack_Sparrow i have also tried to use other nvidia drivers in envy and they force the computer into safe graphics mode
[00:35] <drash> mike: envyng-gtk or envyng-qt are also in synaptic, which one did you actually try ?
[00:35] <mike> Jack_Sparrow EnvyNG only
[00:35] <connor> sup everyone
[00:35] <BobCFC> Tstantonfsu: right click on the desktop and choose CHange Background
[00:35] <mike> drash EnvyNG Only
[00:35] <connor> so uh
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> mike so like I first said you have been tweeking video drivers..  your story keeps changing
[00:35] <connor> what exactly is emerald
[00:36] <mike> Jack_Sparrow i have done alot of trial and error before i came to irc
[00:36] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: I don't know what synce is or what it does, but as far as the network is concerned; if you can manage the devices from network manager, you should okay. If network manager is going on the fritz, then just edit /etc/network/interfaces
[00:36] <mike> Jack_Sparrow i have tried multiple things
[00:36] <me6ez> hello
[00:36] <BobCFC> connor: it lets you have transparent/glassy tilte bar effects
[00:36] <drash> mike: envyng-gtk worked for me without any problems .. might give it a try
[00:36] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: I can change the primary device from eth0 to eth2, but I'd like both to be enabled at the same time
[00:36] <connor> hmm
[00:36] <connor> where cna i get emerald themes?
[00:36] <BobCFC> connor: titlebar*
[00:36] <connor> that sounds amazing
[00:36] <dimedo> is there any known problem with Qt on hardy amd64? i'm experiencing crashes with the Psi instant messenger if i try to get into the appearance options. also all the Qt apps use an uglier font and theme than before on my last ubuntu install
[00:36] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: why do you keep switching the primary device?
[00:36] <BobCFC> connor: www.compiz-temes.org
[00:36] <mike> drash i have tried that envyng-gtk install envyng
[00:37] <legend2440> !emerald | connor
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> mike fresh install and envyng cures most problems..  (except.. in my opinion 8000 series nvidia)
[00:37] <BobCFC> connor: www.compiz-themes.org   lol
[00:37] <connor> whats a teme
[00:37] <mike> drash installs**
[00:37] <me6ez> i am running ubuntu 8 right now ,,but have problem with the screen size i cant change it ,,is there a wat
[00:37] <BobCFC> connor: theme oops
[00:37] <connor> how do i install these?
[00:37] <kitche> dimedo: it's the same font really just an option is turned off now I believe so the fonts do not look crisp
[00:37] <mike> Jack_Sparrow no it doesnt i have tried that aswell
[00:37] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: I don't understand what one has to do with the other. If eth0 is up, and you shutdown eth1, then what's the problem?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> mike which nvidia cvard
[00:37] <root__> Connor, where are you writing from?
[00:37] <me6ez> a way to force the screen size change ?
[00:37] <dimedo> kitche: do you know how i can reverse that setting?
[00:37] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: because eth2 is a network between my pocketpc and my laptop (via usb) and eth0 is internet...  I'd like to speak to both networks simulatneously.
[00:37] <Starnestommy> selocol: install manpages-dev
[00:38] <kitche> dimedo: have to recompile a program I do believe
[00:38] <BobCFC> connor: if you have installed emerald... System-Preferences  menu there is emerald manager...  click on that then you see a button to install theme....  as soon as you click on one it changes
[00:38] <connor> my computer
[00:38] <mike> Jack_Sparrow i forget the card model but i know its a quadro
[00:38] <selocol> Starnestommy: thank you
[00:38] <legend2440> connor: http://openswitch.org/2008/04/28/how-to-enable-emerald-in-hardy-heron-804/
[00:38] <pros9000> connor you wouldn't happen to be on vacation in Florida right now?
[00:38] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: and using the ubuntu network panel, it seems like I can only enable one interface at a time
[00:38] <connor> why do you ask?
[00:38] <connor> pros why do you ask?
[00:38] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: eth2 is probably a virtual interface, not something network manager can manage.
[00:38] <connor> legend i already have emerald enabled
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> mike grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel to show driver in use by xorg)
[00:39] <connor> uh, how do i enable my theme?
[00:39] <drash> mike: do you have a recent nvidia card ? if so, nvidia-glx-envy might help ..
[00:39] <BobCFC> connor:  System->Preferences  menu there is emerald manager...  click on that then you see a button to install theme....  as soon as you click on one it changes
[00:39] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: usb connects over serial, not ethernet.
[00:39] <pros9000> connor I know a guy named Connor who is on Vacation is Florida right now who is a Ubuntu nut.
[00:39] <connor> o_O
[00:39] <connor> what part
[00:39] <connor> what part are you from?
[00:40] <duane> No Python OpenGL Support I get that error when I try to put chess into 3d view how do I add that I apt-get the name and nothing
[00:40] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: yes, I know.  it's a virtual network interface on eth2 and the network manager can control it, because I can select
[00:40] <pros9000> connor don't know
[00:40] <grobda24> me6ez ... nvidia ?
[00:40] <pros9000> connor Texas

[00:40] <FloodBot3> connor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:40] <mike> Jack_Sparrow this is the outcome of the command http://pastebin.com/f650304c
[00:40] <connor> ok mr. floodbot3
[00:40] <usser> duane, u have python-opengl installed?
[00:40] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: ok, another situation... wired ethernet & wireless ethernet, two different networks, real interfaces... how do I enabled both interfaces so I can connect to the different networks simultaneously?
[00:40] <me6ez> yea nvidia
[00:40] <me6ez> 6800gt
[00:41] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: I'm not sure that just because its listed in network manager, means network manager can control it.
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> mike lshw
[00:41] <duane> thanks usser :)
[00:41] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: I believe it's the same question...
[00:41] <mike> Jack_Sparrow i currently have restriced drivers off and envy drivers uninstalled
[00:41] <connor> i dont see install theme, all i see is import
[00:41] <connor> eix: what do you need help with?
[00:41] <usser> duane, np
[00:41] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: enable them both from network manager, or, edit /etc/network/interfaces
[00:41] <Anthrounit> what is the best way to use a second hard drive in a box that has ubuntu on the main drive while trying to add extra space for a second ext3
[00:41] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: and run /etc/init.d/networking restart
[00:41] <BobCFC> connor: sorry yes import..  then browse to the  .emerald files that you get from compiz0themes.org
[00:41] <eix> connor: I cannot get LDAP extension in PHP but I have installed php5-ldap
[00:41] <grobda24> me6ez ... I assume you found preferences-->Screen Resolution ? I guess you prob need this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#head-35311afc21ce57e599c941cd303233d2f0b3be23
[00:42] <fyrestrtr> eix: restarted Apache?
[00:42] <connor> god
[00:42] <connor> WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN WHEN I RUN COMPIZ
[00:42] <usser> Anthrounit, eh?
[00:42] <duane> ok now I get a new error usser no Python GTKGLExt Support?
[00:42] <dimedo> also i have the problem that amarok doesn't let me choose a speaker setup anymore
[00:42] <mike> Jack_Sparrow here you are this is the model Quadro NVS 135M
[00:42] <connor> bobcfc:clicking the theme i want to use did nothing
[00:42] <fyrestrtr> Anthrounit: install the disk, run gparted, create some partitions, format them, mount them, and enjoy.
[00:42] <usser> duane, python-gtkglext1 ?
[00:42] <connor> wait
[00:42] <connor> you can theme compiz?
[00:42] <connor> whats this
[00:43] <duane> you know that off top your head or you getting that info from somewhere usser?
[00:43] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: is 'network settings' found at system/administration/network the same as network manager?
[00:43] <Anthrounit> but when i do that they mount as media/disk
[00:43] <usser> duane, just using tab completion with apt-get
[00:43] <BobCFC> connor: are you sure emerald is running... ...  press Alt-F2  and type:    emerald --replace
[00:43] <Anthrounit> i cannot write to it
[00:43] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: no.
[00:43] <usser> duane, ie apt-get install python-gtk<TAB>
[00:43] <connor> oh sweet dude
[00:43] <duane> oh snap did not know you could do that thanks usser thats sweet
[00:43] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: network manager is more of profile management than device management.
[00:43] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: can you please tell me how to get to the network manager?
[00:43] <connor> thanks bob
[00:44] <duane> I knew you could for command line but figured apt-get was getting from remote so tab would not work sweetness
[00:44] <mike> Jack_Sparrow if u are there my graphics card is Quadro NVS 135M
[00:44] <me6ez> grobda24:yeah i know the screen res. thing but it wont offer any res. to chose
[00:44] <connor> wait, will a beryl emerald theme be compatible with ubuntu?
[00:44] <connor> hardy heron?
[00:44] <grobda24> conner ... have you found http://www.compiz-fusion.org/ ?
[00:44] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: left click on the icon near the clock that looks like two computer screens (on the top right of your desktop on default gnome).
[00:44] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: and choose manual configuration
[00:45] <grobda24> me6ez ... did you see my link to you ? I had to add a setting to the xorg.conf settings file. Clear instructions are through that link.
[00:45] <BobCFC> connor: since hardy you can run compiz without emerald to match the old themes...  to start emerald every time you boot  goto System->Prefs->Session and create an item for   emerald --replace
[00:45] <connor> oh ok
[00:45] <connor> man
[00:45] <connor> i love irc so much
[00:45] <___Alex___> fyrestrtr: that's the same thing I see when I goto /system/administration/network
[00:45]  * usser irc is the best thing to happen with the world since ice cream
[00:46] <Anthrounit> so how should i change the mount from /media/disk to something like /home/disk2
[00:46] <BobCFC> connor: i think they are trying to phase out emerald and replace it to make everything look the same.. but if you want glassy transparent effects you need it
[00:46] <fyrestrtr> ___Alex___: ah, yes it is. I'm right now in a virtual term on a Fedora box. heh, sorry.
[00:46] <usser> Anthrounit, u have to add/edit the record for that disk in /etc/fstab
[00:46] <connor> grobda i actually installed compiz fusion right when i got ubuntu
[00:46] <connor> lmao
[00:46] <BobCFC> connor: they want compiz with ulgy orange titlebars lol

[00:50] <usser> Anthrounit, u probably messed up /dev/sd* part since the rest of it is trivial
[00:50] <eaglestar83> no
[00:50] <eaglestar83> pulse audio is it?
[00:50] <Anthrounit> sounds about right but the end had a zero followed by a two
[00:50] <mike> Can someone help me with a ubuntu 8.04 crashing issue?
[00:50] <BobCFC> eaglestar83: by default virtual box disables sound... stop the vm,, goto setting  tick enable audio and choose pulseaudio from the list
[00:51] <eaglestar83> something weird just happen
[00:51] <usser> Anthrounit, 2? 1 maybe? also make sure u have to know your partition's name in /dev its usually sdb1 or sdb2 for a second harddrive

[00:53] <eaglestar83> it is very annoying
[00:53] <peitschie> Anti-Tedd: what gives you this error?

[00:54] <usser> Anthrounit, last number determines the order in which the filesystems are checked for consistency(usually on bootup) 1 is highest, 0 not checked at all
[00:54] <grobda24> Anti-Tedd ... you're running Ubuntu on a time machine ?
[00:54] <peitschie> lol
[00:54] <Anti-Tedd> grobda: apparently so
[00:54] <Anthrounit> so is it affecting it and not mounting it correctly
[00:54] <usser> Anthrounit, 1 is usually used for root filesystem, and yea the guide was right it should either 2 or 0
[00:54] <BobCFC> eaglestar83: have you tried VLC player... it is smarter than totem
[00:55] <usser> Anthrounit, no it shouldnt have any effect on that
[00:55] <Anthrounit> im still at a loss of what i didnt do right
[00:55] <Anti-Tedd> peitschie, any ideas?
[00:55] <MilitantPotato> how do you fix missing window borders and a blank terminal with an nvidia card?
[00:55] <duh1337> Hello, I'm new to linux, and am trying to figure out grub. I have 3 drives, 500GB Windows Vista, 500GB storage, and 80GB linux. I wanted to install ubuntu onto my new 80GB drive, and it went though with the install, and rebooted. I was disapointed when I selected my 80GB drive with my boot picker and it said MBR not found. So giving up I went back to my windows drive, and saw grub had an error 17. I didn't even want grub on m
[00:55] <peitschie> Anti-Tedd:... i'm googling now
[00:55] <Anti-Tedd> ahaha
[00:55] <eaglestar83> ok thanks bobcfc will try
[00:55] <usser> Anthrounit, did u create mountpoint? ie /home/disk2 directory?
[00:55] <Anti-Tedd> I think I might have bought a time machine
[00:55] <BobCFC> eaglestar83: also there is a special pulseaudio mixer you can install

[00:56] <eaglestar83> what is that?
[00:56] <connor> anyone else here a fan of the negative compiz plugin?
[00:56] <eaglestar83> what is difference between pulseaudio and alsa

[00:56] <legend2440> Anti-Tedd: first thing to check is if date is set to 2008
[00:56] <BobCFC> eaglestar83: i use the pulse audio mixer to choose which apps play on which soundcard.. i have usb headphones and onboard sound..
[00:56] <drash> eaglestar83: the totem youtube plugin might conflict with youtube open in your browser .. for the audio hijacking, that's flash .. look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 for a fix .. hope it helps
[00:56] <Anthrounit> in that fstab you mean
[00:56] <someone1990> /stats
[00:57] <Anthrounit> i did do that as /home/disk2
[00:57] <Tstantonfsu> what does the water effect do in ubuntu?
[00:57] <usser> Anthrounit, yes but /home/disk2 has to exist physically before u mount
[00:57] <eaglestar83> thanks
[00:57] <usser> Anthrounit, the directory disk2 should exist
[00:57] <BobCFC> Tstantonfsu: if you enable the tidal wave,.  then whenever your system beeps for error you get cool effent on screen
[00:57] <Anthrounit> i did create the folder but it still wont mount it
[00:58] <grobda24> Tstantonfsu ... moving concentric ripples.
[00:58] <usser> Anthrounit, well what does it say when u do mount -a

[00:58] <Tstantonfsu> and what is painting fire?

[00:58] <ipfw> MikeJCa:  FF3b5 Yeah... Nice browser, but can't believe they put that into a "stable" LTS release... it isn't _stable_
[00:58] <eaglestar83> and sometimes when i go to seamless mode in virtualbox the bottom bar doesn't come up and i have to restart how do i avoid this
[00:59] <ipfw> MikeJCa:  Thinking I might stop at 710 for a while until that gets better, or do the upgrade and install ff2x as well
[00:59] <BobCFC> eaglestar83: try running   System->Prefs->Keyboard shortcuts
[00:59] <usser> Anthrounit, in the commandline do mount -a
[01:00] <Tstantonfsu> i enabled title wave and all that but it dosnt change anyhting :(

[01:01] <bazhang_> eclipseee, wrong channel to ask in
[01:02] <duh1337> Thanks for the link guys, I read though it again to make sure I didn't miss something, but I have written grub twice. Once with GUI, and once with command line. It didn't change anything.
[01:02] <Anthrounit> i just did a mount -a and added a sudo infront of it and nothing happened i checked /media/disk and tried to make a directory and it said nothing and no folder was made

[01:03] <thesilentwarrior> why can my laptop see desktop, but desktop cant see laptop on a network share, i am making vnc from laptop to desktop atm, but i want the oposite ><
[01:03] <BobCFC> eaglestar83: ah, its something to do with the change to pulseaudio in hardy i think.. i use pauvcontrol to change volume for each app.. haven't used keyboard recently sry
[01:04] <grobda24> Tstantonfsu ... search for the compiz settings manager in add/remove if you don't already have it.
[01:04] <usser> thesilentwarrior, ehm, its a client-server relation, to be able to vnc to laptop a vnc server has to run on it
[01:04] <thesilentwarrior> usser: i did the exact same process on both pcs
[01:04] <usser> thesilentwarrior, oh rly?
[01:05] <usser> thesilentwarrior, do u have firestarter or any other firewall running on a laptop?

[01:12] <wers> i want to reduce cpu usage. will xubuntu be a good idea?
[01:12] <usser> thesilentwarrior, it should spit a line, something like 0 S  1001  6154     1  0  80   0 -  7667 -      ?        00:02:25 vino-server

[01:14] <apallo> hello! I was wondering if someone could recommend a newsreader
[01:14] <thesilentwarrior> usser:  atm, i just put the ip, on the ubuntu config it says, to connect do vncviwer silent-laptop:0
[01:14] <peitschie> wers: ahh.  Well, virtualbox needs more ram.  How much ram do you have?
[01:15] <wers> peitschie, 512 mb
[01:15] <peitschie> wers: I have the same issue running it on my laptop.    For virtualisation stuff you want at least 1.5Gb I reckon... I have issues on 1Gb
[01:15] <wers> actually, everything is smooth if I just dont run firefox and vbox together
[01:15] <drash> alexconrad: why not use Synaptic for installing sun-java6-jre ?
[01:15] <sanzky> hello. Does anyone knows how to make the pidgin latex plugin work?
[01:16] <wers> peitschie, i'm running some lite xp ;)
[01:16] <peitschie> wers: yes.  That is because firefox uses up a couple hundred megabytes of ram :-)
[01:16] <drash> AlexCONRAD: .. that will take care of depencies
[01:16] <wers> yeah but that's not the issue on fx3
[01:16] <AlexCONRAD> drash: i'm installing these package on a offline pc, I copied thoses packages from a usb key
[01:16] <wers> if only swap can fix this
[01:16] <peitschie> wers: you can try xubuntu, i'd recommend fluxbuntu personally... but yer... I am not sure if that would make enough difference in ram.  I'd recommend getting a least 1Gb of ram :)
[01:17] <peitschie> wers: a lighter windows manager such as xubuntu would help.... but you're still squeezing to fit all that stuff in memory
[01:17] <thesilentwarrior> usser:
[01:17] <wers> peitschie, yeah. i dont want fluxbuntu because i dont believe in the quality of those derivatives. hehe
[01:17] <thesilentwarrior> usser: works
[01:17] <thesilentwarrior> usser: nasty effect tho
[01:17] <peitschie> wers: xubuntu is also a derivative ;)
[01:17] <usser> thesilentwarrior, infinite loop eh :)
[01:18] <usser> thesilentwarrior, try the same from the desktop, vncviewer ip:0
[01:18] <wers> peitschie, it's an official one and much more people work on it
[01:18] <peitschie> wers: well... yes there definitely is that :)
[01:18] <friel> when i mount my 500gig hard drive, it only has root access, chmod will not let me change the permissions on the hd, and i can't figure out how to use my hd.

[01:18] <thesilentwarrior> usser: works now, wtf, what changed? didnt notice
[01:18] <wers> yeah. i'll see if there's a ram usage difference. i'll buy more ram as soon as resources permit peitschie
[01:19] <AlexCONRAD> drash: nop, how can I do that ?
[01:19] <AlexCONRAD> I'm not sure java is on the CD

[01:19] <usser> thesilentwarrior, :0 at the end?
[01:19] <thesilentwarrior> usser: hmm, i have to include it always?
[01:19] <Pingdiguo> hey everybody
[01:19] <usser> thesilentwarrior, sometimes ip is not enough cause vnc can use different ports ip by default links to 5900, vnc can run on 5800 and such
[01:19] <Pingdiguo> this is my 1st time to use irb~
[01:20] <peitschie> wers: good luck :-).  If you're ever interested, have a look at ram and swap usage when running virtual box.  As soon as it starts eating into swap, things always slow down really bad for me :)
[01:20] <Pingdiguo> exit
[01:20] <usser> thesilentwarrior, :0 just maps to the first available remote display
[01:20] <thesilentwarrior> usser: i see, xD would have never guessed
[01:20] <wers> peitschie, been doing that. you're right. though i've been eating 100%cpu at some point, the real issue is ram
[01:20] <drash> AlexCONRAD: open Synaptic, use the menu item 'settings' > repositories > third party tab has a 'add cd-rom' option ..

[01:28] <usser> Aintaer, *sigh* its not strange no more
[01:28] <usser> Aintaer, do u have intel wireless?
[01:29] <Starnestommy> nicknock: I have no problems with 64-bit, although getting java to work took a little more effort than on the 32-bit version
[01:29] <frank23> nicknock: well flash and some windows codecs are trickier to setup.
[01:29] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: you can copy files over ssh using scp
[01:29] <Aintaer> usser, nope, I have an RT2500
[01:29] <frank23> nicknock: but I haven't tried 64bit recently
[01:29] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, Just ignore wmaster0 and focus on wlan0
[01:29] <nicknock> yea i think i installed the 64-bit and dvd isn't working nor skype.
[01:30] <frank23> nicknock: well the dvd problem is probably not related to 64bit
[01:30] <frank23> !dvd
[01:30] <Aintaer> trying to iwpriv wlan0 to set WPA key returns "no private ioctls."
[01:30] <usser> Aintaer, oh in any case wmaster0 is a virtual interface disregard it
[01:31] <frank23> nicknock: but I always use x86. the loss in performance is minimal in most cases
[01:32] <frank23> nicknock: unless you have 4GB of RAM or more I think
[01:32] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, What are you trying to accomplish with iwpriv?
[01:32] <Aintaer> Trying to set WPA PSK
[01:32] <nicknock> yea witch i wish i did use the x86
[01:32] <BobCFC> nicknock: the only reason i use 64bit is because i have 8gb, to be honest 32bit would make life easier
[01:33] <b0xxy> in command line how can i check wat version of linux of have
[01:33] <Aintaer> uname -a
[01:33] <soldats> b0xxy: lsb_release
[01:33] <BobCFC> nicknock: if you have 3 or less use 32bit
[01:33] <usser> b0xxy, lsb_release -a
[01:33] <nicknock> that's why i'm going to down grade.
[01:33] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, you could install wpa_supplicant and use the networkmanager applet I believe
[01:34] <nicknock> what about windows games is that a pain to get going?
[01:34] <Aintaer> Ahadiel, I believe I already have the wpa_supplicant
[01:35] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, Then is WPA not working or something?
[01:35] <Aintaer> Well it seems like I can't get any networks to show up
[01:35] <Xpistos> damn I can't believe I missed Splitpaw
[01:36] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' return anything?
[01:36] <Xpistos> can anybody tell me how to set a share from the terminal
[01:36] <Aintaer> Hmm
[01:36] <Aintaer> It returns one thing
[01:36] <frank23> nicknock: well it depends... sometimes pretty tricky, sometimes impossible. If gaming is important, keep a windows partition and dual boot
[01:36] <Aintaer> that is not my router
[01:36] <yuri_> hey guys, i just did a dist upgrade from 7.10. great job on the wireless drivers; my broadcom wifi was set up instantly... but i am having trouble with my audio - the sound quality is terrible.. there is alot of static..
[01:36] <Aintaer> ESSID is some USR router
[01:36] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, Is your router broadcasting it's ESSID?
[01:36]  * BobCFC note to self.. dont press Alt-F4 to change desktop when you mean Super-F4
[01:37] <Aintaer> Ahadiel, I thought it was, but how do I make sure?
[01:37] <frank23> nicknock: if it's only WoW, you should be able to get it working in linux and won't have to reboot in windows for example
[01:37] <Segadude> Can I upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 in a wubi installation?
[01:37] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, Do you have any other wifi capable devices? Or you can check your router's web configuration.
[01:37] <nicknock> is there any sites for hardware bug reports ?
[01:37] <Aintaer> Ahadiel, yeah, I have a psp
[01:37] <Aintaer> it can find the router just fine
[01:38] <Aintaer> so can this laptop
[01:38] <BobCFC> nicknock: try launchpad
[01:38] <eraldo> greetings... I wondered how I can add some text to the "Notes" tab in file properties using the command line :D
[01:38] <Ahadiel> Aintaer, Well, I don't know what else to tell you if sudo iwlist wlan0 scan shows a ESSID.
[01:38] <Ahadiel> an*
[01:38] <Segadude> Can I upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 in a wubi installation?
[01:39] <Ahadiel> Segadude, probably
[01:40] <Segadude> Whats the risk?
[01:41] <A2intaer> Alright
[01:41] <A2intaer> now it shows up
[01:41] <A2intaer> and I've accidentally killed myself
[01:41] <A2intaer> Ahadiel, so now my router shows up on the scan list
[01:41] <adamorjames> Hello. I am trying to change my DPI for the login screen. The problem is that when I go to System->Administration->Login Window it tries to open but crashes. So I need to figure out how to change the DPI through a file. The exact instructions of what I'm trying to do are at the bottom of this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23048.html
[01:42] <DjViper> quick question; I use msn only.. should I use pidgin or amsn?
[01:42] <Ahadiel> A2intaer, Now connect with the networkmanager-applet?
[01:42] <itson> i just bought a mac, I have samba up and running on my ubuntu, I can see and access my sahres ( that are on linux ) from my windows computer, but I cant see them on my Mac , is there something different i have to spicify in the smb.conf to be able to access them from my mac?
[01:42] <Ahadiel> DjViper, Try both and see which one you like.
[01:42] <Bodsda> DjViper, your choice but aMSN is very similar (without the bugs) tomsn
[01:42] <DjViper> okay
[01:43] <A2intaer> Ahadiel, should I set it to roaming?
[01:44] <Ahadiel> A2intaer, Have you tried connecting yet?
[01:44] <DjViper> Bodsda, Ahadiel: is the latest stable in the default ubuntu repo. ?
[01:44] <Bodsda> DjViper, probably
[01:44] <Ahadiel> DjViper, Most likely, just try sudo apt-get install pidgin amsn
[01:45] <A2intaer> heyhey!
[01:45] <DjViper> well I have pidgin, so I thought I'd give amsn a spin
[01:45] <A2intaer> Internets!
[01:45] <A2intaer> on my linuxbox!
[01:45] <Rabbitbunny> We're on teh intarwebs?
[01:45] <A2intaer> Thanks Ahadiel, it looks like it's working now
[01:45] <led> ok when I goto play a game and put it to fullscreen it says out of range is there a way to fix this
[01:45] <mib_5tuov3> please! help me! my first and only user in ubuntu 8.04 cannot sudo anymore. It says "bruno is no in suders file".
[01:45] <A2intaer> uhoh
[01:46] <A2intaer> somebody might have to reinstall ubuntu
[01:46] <Ahadiel> mib_5tuov3, Did you remove yourself as a system administrator?
[01:46] <tritium> mib_5tuov3: are you using the user account of the user you setup during installation?
[01:46] <mib_5tuov3> Ahadiel: no I didn`t. I`m not an expert linux
[01:46] <mib_5tuov3> tritium: yes
[01:46] <eraldo>  Is there a way to add some text to the "Notes" tab in file properties using the command line?
[01:47] <Pupeno> Is it possible to have Firefox 2 on Ubuntu 8.04?
[01:47] <Ahadiel> mib_5tuov3, Have you editted your user in any way?
[01:47] <tritium> mib_5tuov3: that user is in the admin group, and has admin rights.  What have you changed?
[01:47] <ce_wwwww> hyyyyyyyyyyyy
[01:47] <eraldo> Pupeno: yes it is... sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[01:47] <connor> hi
[01:47] <adamorjames> Hello. I am trying to change my DPI for the login screen. The problem is that when I go to System->Administration->Login Window it tries to open but crashes. So I need to figure out how to change the DPI through a file. The exact instructions of what I'm trying to do are at the bottom of this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23048.html
[01:48] <ce_wwwww> hyyyyyyyyyyyy
[01:48] <mib_5tuov3> Ahadiel: maybe. how can i check that? I`m running in a live CD now because the net wasnt working naymore.
[01:48] <Seeker`> ce_wwwww: do you have a problem we can help with?
[01:48] <mib_5tuov3> Ahadiel: i can open /etc/group for read only
[01:48] <BobCFC> adamorjames: if you run the login changer from the terminal you should be able to see some error messages
[01:48] <ce_wwwww> hyyyyyyyyyyy
[01:48] <connor> what do you want
[01:48] <tritium> ce_wwwww: stop that
[01:48] <connor> ce_wwwww what do you want
[01:49] <connor> yes!
[01:49] <Ahadiel> mib_5tuov3, Well, you'd have to mount your ubuntu's / and chroot into it.
[01:49] <PCcertified> in Ubuntu 8.04, I want to have a server start every boot.  was going to locate inittab and add it that way.   is there a better way?
[01:49] <tritium> mib_5tuov3: does sudo work when you're booted into the system (not from the LiveCD)
[01:49] <adamorjames> BobCFC, ok
[01:49] <BobCFC> adamorjames: sudo gdmsetup
[01:50] <Alan_M> Pupeno, yes, check add/remove applications...its in there :)
[01:50] <mib_5tuov3> tritium: i know. i boot from live cd to be able to tak in IRC
[01:50] <mib_5tuov3> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17367/   <---- my /etc/group     please help me i can`t sudo anymore
[01:50] <adamorjames> BobCFC, "Segmentation fault"
[01:50] <tritium> mib_5tuov3: you'd have to change something for your user to lose admin priveles.  Boot into single-user mode (recovery), and re-add that user to the admin group
[01:50] <mib_5tuov3> tritium: thanks! but how?
[01:51] <tritium> mib_5tuov3: once in single-user mode, "adduser bruno admin"
[01:51] <dcbdbis> Good afternoon all. To address the previously posted system slowness, I just compliled a new kernel, and it works peechee. Coming from Gentoo, the /etc is a tad different in Ubuntu. What is the name and location of the init script that loads kernel modules in Ubuntu 8.04? Thanks!
[01:51] <mib_5tuov3> tritium: i`ll try that. i`ll be back.
[01:52] <PCcertified> using  Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, I want to have a server start every boot.  was going to locate inittab and add it that way.   is there a better way? a Ubuntu prefrred way?
[01:52] <eraldo>  Is there a way to add some text to the "Notes" tab in file properties using the command line?
[01:52] <tritium> PCcertified: please read /etc/init.d/README
[01:52] <PCcertified> thanks tritium
[01:53] <BobCFC> adamorjames: i have not tried it.  but there is a file in   /etc/gdm/gdm.conf  that has the settings... you need to be root so   gksu gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf     BE CAREFUL
[01:53] <eraldo> in nautilus... when rightclicking a file, there is a "Notes"-tab.. Question: is there a way to view or right content to that tab using the command line ?
[01:54] <tscolin> how do i add a wireless network to network manager?
[01:54] <tscolin> it only has a remove button
[01:54] <tscolin> no add
[01:54] <eraldo> it would also help if I knew whether that Information is saved _in_ the file or not
[01:55] <DJ_HaMsTa> where do i change the system hostname ?
[01:56] <adamorjames> ok BobCFC
[01:56] <BobCFC> DJ_HaMsTa: /etc/hosts
[01:56] <eraldo> DJ_HaMsTa: or: System > Administration > Network
[01:56] <DarkVampire> hello
[01:56] <BobCFC> DJ_HaMsTa: and also /etc/hostname
[01:56] <elmer_> dang why isn't Firefox Downloads showing up?
[01:56] <tscolin> is there any good online guides for network manager?
[01:56] <PCcertified> tritium:  that readme does not help me much, I don't have to time to research the debian policy manual.  if there isn't a short answer I'll just switch back to fedora where life was familiar.   I have spent the better part of 2 weeks reading.
[01:57] <DarkVampire> is there any fix for the agressive hdd parking on laptops?
[01:57] <Xpistos> How do i add my new ubuntu file server to my network from the command line
[01:57] <eraldo> in nautilus... when rightclicking a file, there is a "Notes"-tab.. Question: is there a way to view or right content to that tab using the command line ?

[01:58] <Eisenhower> Ohh. okay thaks
[01:58] <BobCFC> Eisenhower: there is no N in umount
[01:58] <PCcertified> tritium: there has to be a short answer... I installed mgetty with the synaptic package manager but it does not start at boot.  In other linux I would just add a line to inittab to launch it at boot.  how do you add a program in UBUNTU,

[02:00] <ShackJack> NewfieLinux: Why not install tremulous from the repos?
[02:01] <NewfieLinux> What?
[02:01] <cjkall> who can help me ?
[02:01] <NewfieLinux> What do you mean repos
[02:01] <BobCFC> Eisenhower: there is a command called  lsof   that lists open files but you get alot of data  you will have to learn it
[02:01] <Xpistos> How do i add my new hardy file server to my network from the command line
[02:01] <ShackJack> NewfieLinux: (Add/Remove Programs)
[02:01] <WindowsKaboom> i guess no one can help us cjkall
[02:01] <cjkall> I have a program !
[02:01] <NewfieLinux> Ah
[02:01] <WindowsKaboom> cjkall: what is your problem
[02:01] <ShackJack> NewfieLinux: The software repositories where you get most proggies from...
[02:01] <Daisuke_Ido> !repos | NewfieLinux
[02:01] <BobCFC> Eisenhower: lost of files open on ur syystem.. in unix everything is a file
[02:01] <ShackJack> NewfieLinux: Or sudo aptitude install tremulous ;)
[02:02] <cjkall>  I can't set the 3d!
[02:02] <BCM43> cjkall: the 3d what?
[02:02] <WindowsKaboom> you mean berly
[02:02] <Eisenhower> BobCFC,   Well i just rebooted. So its not like i've been runing it all day. Should i just close everything out pretty much?
[02:02] <BobCFC> NewfieLinux: can I recommend Nexuiz   imho better than tremulous
[02:02] <Daisuke_Ido> !beryl
[02:02] <PCcertified> Anyone?   I installed mgetty with synaptic but mgetty is not starting at boot.  if it's not loaded at boot it's pretty usless .  I know the inittab to add but how do I do it in UBUNTU?  How do I get mgetty to load in Ubuntu ??
[02:02] <edburns> Greetings Programs.  I just installed 8.04LTS on my Toshiba Satellite 5205-S703, a notoriously finicky laptop for GNU/Linux, and it all went fine, except for one thing:
[02:02] <_Brun0_> hi all. I was the user that was complaining about "username is not in the sudoers file". I did what tritium said: reboot in recovery mode and do: useradd bruno admin. It worked so i came back to thank you guys.
[02:03] <Daisuke_Ido> BobCFC: nexuiz, alien arena, both good :)
[02:03] <cjkall> I write a error word
[02:03] <cjkall> sorry
[02:03] <Eisenhower> BobCFC,   I think i know what the problem is. I'm using gparted which is installed on my hd...
[02:03] <Eisenhower> Duh!
[02:03] <echowip> anyone have any idea why might my video card not be showing up in the hardware component list in hardware drivers?
[02:03] <NewfieLinux> Well I could try nexuiz instead but I also get the same problrm with regnum
[02:03] <Eisenhower> kay * reboots on cd. Thanks for the help you guys are great. Ubuntu! =)
[02:03] <ShackJack> NewfieLinux: That is also in the repos
[02:04] <edburns> When I close the lid and re-open it, the display doesn't start again and I have strange vertical  lines down the screen
[02:04] <eraldo> in nautilus... when rightclicking a file, there is a "Notes"-tab.. Question: is there a way to view or right content to that tab using the command line ?
[02:04] <BobCFC> Eisenhower: oh mate... you have to unmount to use gparted.. if you want to do the system partition use the liveCD

[02:04] <BCM43> PCcertified: do you have a question?
[02:04] <edburns> s /serrious/serious.
[02:05] <cjkall> Thanks!
[02:05] <edburns> Can anyone help me with my easy display question?
[02:05] <BCM43> edburns: what was it again?
[02:05] <BobCFC> Daisuke_Ido: yes nexuiz has more online players than q4
[02:05] <edburns> When I close the lid and re-open it, the display doesn't start again and I have strange vertical  lines down the screen
[02:05] <adamorjames> BobCFC, can you paste what it says in the command field?
[02:06] <BCM43> edburns: what is your laptop being told to do when you shut the lid, and what is the computer?
[02:06] <Daisuke_Ido> NewfieLinux: what regnum?
[02:06] <edburns> Once I close the lid, I have to re-boot to get my display to work again.
[02:06] <PCcertified> yes and I do,   mgetty needs to be started at boot, I would normally add SX:345:respawn:/usr/sbin/vgetty ttySX to inittab, but it appears ubuntu works differently .  can you tell me how to add a server at boot?
[02:06] <edburns> BCM43: It's a toshiba Satellite 5205-S703.
[02:06] <BCM43> !prefiz
[02:06] <BCM43> !prefix
[02:06] <lemonlaw95> do i have a voice?
[02:06] <edburns> I haven't changed any of the lid settings from their installed defaults.
[02:06] <Daisuke_Ido> NewfieLinux: just sudo apt-get install nexuiz - this isn't windows, we don't go randomly downloading untrusted binaries (usually)
[02:06] <BCM43> lemonlaw95: we can hear you
[02:06] <ShackJack> edburns: I think he's asking if it's hibertnateing or suspending when you close the lid..
[02:06] <PCcertified> BCM43: did you see the message aboe?
[02:06] <PCcertified> above
[02:06] <lemonlaw95> can anyone else?
[02:07] <Aintaer> Well the good news is the network is working
[02:07] <Starnestommy> lemonlaw95: maybe
[02:07] <lemonlaw95> i mean non-admins
[02:07] <Aintaer> the bad news is, the transmission rates are way below those in Windows
[02:07] <lemonlaw95> or whatever
[02:07] <D3RGPS31> anyone have experience with Adesso graphics tablets working LIKE a tablet on Ubuntu?
[02:07] <BobCFC> adamorjames: in type it says halt   in path it says
[02:07] <BCM43> PCcertified: ah, did not see that, sorry
[02:07] <ShackJack> lemonlaw95: Yes, everybody hears you :P
[02:07] <BobCFC> adamorjames: in type it says halt, suspend, hibernate... which command?
[02:07] <PCcertified> BCM43: mgetty needs to be started at boot, I would normally add SX:345:respawn:/usr/sbin/vgetty ttySX to inittab, but it appears ubuntu works differently .  can you tell me how to add a server at boot?
[02:07] <cylux> When I run apt-get -v -> The version includes the word 'ubuntu', if i was on say, kubuntu, or ubuntu-studio, would it just say 'ubuntu' or would it say the indifidual flavor?
[02:07] <lemonlaw95> ok
[02:08] <BCM43> PCcertified: this is on a desktop machine? try session manager
[02:08] <edburns> BCM43: ShackJack I don't think it's hibernating, becuse I have some samba exported drives and I can continue to access them even with the lid closed.
[02:08] <lemonlaw95> i have a radeon x1950 pro 512mb agp card.  (oh joy)  does anyone know how to make one of them work in linux mint?
[02:08] <PCcertified> Hmmmm not sure how to use that i there a doc
[02:08] <adamorjames> BobCFC, at the bottom of this page it tells what command field http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23048.html
[02:08] <BCM43> edburns: it must be going to sleep
[02:08] <edburns> BCM43: ShackJack: sorry, samba exported drives
[02:08] <ShackJack> edburns: You can see what the setting is under Power Management
[02:08] <DarkVampire> is there any fix for the agressive hard drive parking on laptops?
[02:09] <lemonlaw95> someone?
[02:09] <edburns> BCM43: But how could it be going to sleep if I still can read and write files to the exported drives?
[02:09] <drash> cylux: just checked, my xubuntu and ubuntustudio both return ubuntu ..
[02:09] <BobCFC> adamorjames: ok i was on wrong tab...
[02:09] <BCM43> edburns: you should be able to do that in sleep mode. hibernate and suspend will not let you
[02:09] <adamorjames> BobCFC, I need to know so I can search for it in the file you told me about (gdm.conf)
[02:10] <lemonlaw95> does anyone here know how to get a radeon x1950 pro agp to work?
[02:10] <BobCFC> adamorjames: xserver command is:    /usr/bin/X -br -audit 0
[02:10] <PCcertified> BCM43: thanks for the short answer
[02:10] <ShackJack> lemonlaw95: This is an ubuntu chat... you should prolly use theres. but try the "Hardware Drivers" under Admin... it should tell you if you can use a restricted driver for it...
[02:10] <edburns> Interesting.
[02:10] <ShackJack> !patience | lemonlaw95
[02:10] <lemonlaw95> ...
[02:10] <EIPhiGam> !radeon
[02:11] <adamorjames> thanks BobCFC
[02:11] <BCM43> PCcertified: sorry, did not see your last messege, prefix it with my name
[02:11] <edburns> BCM43: ShackJack: Interesting.  I'll certainly check the power modes, but would it still work if the samba exported drives are actually coming from an externally mounted USB drive that is from which I am running a VMWare Solaris 10 virtual machine?
[02:11] <lemonlaw95> i can't use envy or restricted drivers
[02:11] <yuri_> hey guys, i upgraded to 8.04 and sound quality has degraded... there is alot of noise
[02:11] <EIPhiGam> Try that link lemonlaw95.
[02:11] <EIPhiGam> You can, follow instructions and it should prompts a download.
[02:11] <BCM43> PCcertified: go to prefernces, then it should be under that menu
[02:12] <BCM43> edburns: i have no idea, sorry
[02:12] <PCcertified> BCM43: I found it, I was just thanking you.    the last person who answered me had me reading the debian policies manual
[02:12] <edburns> Well, I'll check the power preferences.
[02:12] <lemonlaw95> i've already done that
[02:12] <BCM43> PCcertified: lol
[02:12] <lemonlaw95> and it didn't work
[02:12] <ShackJack> yuri_: You might be having trouble with PulseAudo - you can switch under sound settings (Alsa) to see if that makes an improvement...
[02:12] <edburns> BCM43: Can you give me a clue on how to find the specific preference you recommend I inspect?
[02:13] <yuri_> ShackJack: i have tried every combination in the sound prefs... no difference
[02:13] <BCM43> edburns: try telling it to go to sleep without closing the lid

[02:15] <ghindo> Does anybody know how to create a .deb from source?
[02:15] <lemonlaw95> !awesome
[02:15] <lemonlaw95> darn it!
[02:15] <BobCFC> echowip: did you tick the box to enable restricted drivers?
[02:15] <echowip> hmm
[02:15] <PCcertified> echowip:  and there is no NVIDIA driver listed in Hardware drivers at all?
[02:16] <lemonlaw95> !ubuntu
[02:16] <echowip> there is no box :/
[02:16] <drash> echowip: it would only show up there if you have the proprietary driver .. Do you ?
[02:16] <m1r> BloGTK ? anyone using this application ?
[02:16] <BobCFC> echowip: you mean System->Admin->Restricted Drivers?
[02:16] <echowip> drash i dont believe i do
[02:16] <BCM43> !bot abuse | lemonlaw95
[02:16] <echowip> bobCFC yes, its not there.

[02:16] <kahrytan> !root >  kahrytan
[02:16] <Bob24> could someone please help me with this little problem. I have created a symbolic link to a folder. The thing is i can see the contets of the folder but cannot copy contents to it.
[02:16] <hanophix33> i have a question about converting a .WMV to a .swf...any suggestions?
[02:17] <echowip> drash: how do i get them?
[02:17] <BCM43> Bob24: do you get an error?
[02:17] <Bob24> when i tranfer trhough ftp clirnt yeh
[02:17] <BobCFC> Bob24: if it is a system folder only root can write to it
[02:17] <echowip> drash: where would i get the proprietary driver?
[02:17] <drash> echowip: look into a package called envyng-gtk (for ubuntu) or envyng-qt (for kubuntu)
[02:18] <echowip> hmm
[02:18] <BCM43> Bob24: what error?
[02:18] <woli> hi
[02:18] <BCM43> Hi
[02:18] <woli> i wonder if there is a nautilus for windows
[02:18] <echowip> drash are you talking about like apt-get nvidia-glx-new ?
[02:18] <echowip> or w/e?
[02:18] <Bob24> give me a sec ill replicate the problem.
[02:18] <BCM43> Bob24: if it more than a few lines please put it in pastebin
[02:19] <peitschie> dcbdbis: i believe all that happens in /etc/modprobe.d
[02:19] <Xpistos> Can anyone here help me add my server to my network through the terminal?
[02:19] <Bob24> a pastebin?
[02:19] <BCM43> !paste | Bob24
[02:20] <montel> xoistis:please explain
[02:20] <drash> echowip: yep, you can do that to get the envyng-gtk, but it might be informative to check Synaptic and search for envy, there are a few diffrent packages , all depends on your system
[02:20] <usser> woli, no but there's dolphin from KDE4
[02:20] <Aintaer> hey
[02:20] <BCM43> Hi

[02:20] <hanophix33> wmv to swf anyone?
[02:20] <BCM43> Aintaer: what wireless card do you have?
[02:21] <Aintaer> RaLink RT2500
[02:21] <echowip> drash: i've done that, and still even when i get the drivers that way, its stuck in 800x600... and the component still isn't listed in the hardware devices
[02:21] <Xpistos> BobCFC: I have my ip then what
[02:21] <aixenv> anyone have issues building the broadcom 43xx bw43-legacy firmware driver?

[02:21] <ohgood> ok, so Hardy Heron is latest available version, correct ?
[02:21] <echowip> hardware drivers*
[02:21] <bloodrock> usser krusader is better
[02:21] <BCM43> aixenv: i have had tons, but why are  you building it?
[02:22] <Aintaer> Should I try to copy down the settings in windows and use those in linux?
[02:22] <aixenv> ubuntu 8.04 - broadcom 4306, followed http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43legacy
[02:22] <Xpistos> BobCFC: I have it set up as an ssh connect too
[02:22] <drash> echowip: does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows anything usefull to try and see what is wrong ?
[02:22] <Aintaer> Because it goes much faster in windows

[02:24] <aixenv> BCM43: no this is the very first thing i was doing, just installed 8.04 to test it out, there's no 'configure' file or anything for this
[02:24] <Xpistos> BobCFC: It comes up in the WORKGROUP domain, but that isn't the right one
[02:24] <echowip> do you mind if i just paste it here?

[02:27] <Bob24> ok
[02:27] <loner269> how do i do this
[02:27] <BobCFC> Xpistos: the password it wants for ssh is the local user on the server, if you want you can generate keys and copy it to the homedir to login without password
[02:27] <edburns> Thanks all
[02:27] <edburns> Good night.
[02:27] <peitschie> BCM43 aixenv: it depends on what version of wireless is had.  The other link I posted has a method for simply apt-gettting the firmware from a repo which is far easier than compiling ;)
[02:27] <loner269> its not installed im runnin as live
[02:27] <ohgood> i'm having trouble finding a current livecd for ppc. anyone mind showing me the way ?
[02:28] <BobCFC> Xpistos: if you want to give it a domain change to static ip and write it to the /etc/hosts file on the server
[02:28] <BCM43> loner269: sorry, put lspci in terminal
[02:28] <Bob24> BCM43: i double click on videos it looks like it goes in then goes back to root directory.
[02:28] <BCM43> loner269: i can give you the link, but keep in mind that it is not fully supported anymore

[02:31] <BCM43> harpreet: what wireless card?
[02:31] <CorpseFeeder> ok, I want to try and connect my iMac to my Ubuntu PC via crossover ethernet cable in order to transfer files. How do I do that?
[02:31] <loner269> my card is bcm4306 b/g ver2
[02:31] <harpreet> BCM43 AR242X802.11, ndiswrapper driver
[02:32] <BCM43> harpreet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[02:32] <Bob24> BCM43: what did the command just do
[02:32] <loner269> linksys
[02:32] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: you can install samba and then right click on a folder to share over windows network.. i think mac can read smb
[02:32] <BCM43> Bob24: opened file browser as root.
[02:32] <Aintaer> man, Ra wifi cards suck.
[02:33] <CorpseFeeder> BobCFC: the stuff I want to get off the iMac is not on a windows share
[02:33] <loner269> bcm can i just do aptget my card driver so i can go online? lol would that work
[02:33] <BCM43> Aintaer: Broadcoms are worse
[02:33] <harpreet> BCM43, it connects fine without security enabled, i went to windows and enabled wpa on it and it cannot connect but connects to unsecured neighborhood connections
[02:33] <Aintaer> What's good then?
[02:33] <loner269> back in a fewe
[02:33] <BCM43> loner269: not that simple. look at the tutorial. and please use my full username. thanks
[02:34] <BCM43> harpreet: the tutorial explains how to get wep working
[02:34] <CorpseFeeder> BobCFC: I have given up trying to copy the files over the network (which is 802.11G wireless) as it is far too slow. This is why I want to try a crossover cable.
[02:34] <Penguin> is it?
[02:34] <BCM43> harpreet: wpa too
[02:35] <Bob24> BCN43: What i actually would like to do for example. I want to be able to access /user from the /myth folder, so when i open my ftp client i see the myhth folder then i see the user folder within it.
[02:35] <Aintaer> man, these are like, dialup speeds.
[02:35] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: the quickest ways are copy over ssh or using samba.. you can use windows protocol to share without a windows pc
[02:35] <BCM43> Aintaer: did you get my link?
[02:35] <Aintaer> BCM43: yeah
[02:35] <Aintaer> but I'm waiting on 12 days worth of package updates
[02:35] <Chunky_Ks> Heya. I'm looking at downloading ubuntu for an x86_64 machine. Should I get the one that's amd64 or i386?
[02:35] <BCM43> Aintaer: did you try it?
[02:35] <Aintaer> which include kernel updates
[02:36] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: can you ping the mac from the linux box over the cable?
[02:36] <BCM43> Aintaer: ok.
[02:36] <Aintaer> I figure I should update the kernel first, then change modules
[02:36] <echelon`> Anyone here can help me with a horrible screen tearing when i try to enter console mode through ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[02:36] <Aintaer> only 12 more minutes to wait!
[02:36] <aixenv> is ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 on the 8.04 cd?
[02:36] <aixenv> how am i supposed to apt-get when i dont have internet lol
[02:36] <CorpseFeeder> BobCFC: yeah.. ok.. but how do I get the computers to "see" each other in the first place? I have the computers side by side and a crossover cable linking them. I am unsure how to set up the connection. I can't ping either.
[02:37] <DJ_HaMsTa> im trying to start ProFTPd server and i get the error  "- warning: unable to determine IP address of 'hostname.com'" i have changed the hostname several times to diff things and i still get the same error, any ideas on how to get it working ?
[02:37] <Aintaer> oh yeah, is 8.04 still TLS?
[02:37] <elmer> How can I add myself to the group "vboxusers"?
[02:37] <Bob24> BCN43: What i actually would like to do for example. I want to be able to access /user from the /myth folder, so when i open my ftp client i see the myhth folder then i see the user folder within it.
[02:37] <BCM43> aixenv: do you have a direct cable?
[02:37] <BCM43> Bob24: it it BCM43
[02:37] <aixenv> BCM43: i could do that i guess.. i didnt wanna go into the other room i was watching the finals :)
[02:37] <BCM43> aixenv: ah
[02:37] <Aintaer> Bob24: you could try a symlink
[02:37] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: if it is a real crossovercable i think you can just give them static IP adresses on the SAME SUBNET
[02:37] <darthanubis> can anyone watch their myth content with totem?
[02:38] <aixenv> BCM43: ill go connec to the cable
[02:38] <BCM43> Bob24: not sure

[02:38] <echelon`> i have a question about screen tearing when i try to get into a tty
[02:38] <echelon`> through ctrl-alt-f1
[02:39] <Aintaer> ew esd
[02:39] <echelon`> i thought it was a screen refresh rate isssue
[02:39] <BCM43> !enter | echelon`
[02:39] <andar> ew pulseaudio
[02:39] <Bob24> Aintaer: i have symlinked them, but i cant open their folders or copy to them from an ftp client.
[02:39]  * randall is back (gone 00:00:30)
[02:39] <echelon`> but i don't think it is as i've tried every resolution possible
[02:39]  * randall is away: I'm busy
[02:39] <Aintaer> Bob24: ah, hmm..
[02:39] <BCM43> !away > randall
[02:39] <Bob24> only iin the terminal
[02:39] <sahak> I am using banshee, but I can't find "Internet Radio" plugin
[02:39] <sahak>  this is banshee-0.99.3
[02:39] <Aintaer> andar: I agree, I just stick to ALSA
[02:40] <Aintaer> The solution I have is to add a pulseaudio -k command when it starts
[02:40] <echelon`> whatever. never mind
[02:40] <Aintaer> that kills the pulseaudio server and leaves everything to alsa again.
[02:40] <echelon`> yell at me for enter keys instead of trying to help. i've tried everything. i can't even access the console cuz the tearing is so bad i can't even read the text
[02:41] <Bob24> Aintaer: any auggestions?
[02:41] <CorpseFeeder> BobCFC: ok, I can ping them now...
[02:41] <Aintaer> Bob24: I don't see how to get around the FTP client treating symlinks as files
[02:41] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: nice one.  you can try ur copy again.. what did u try ftp?
[02:41] <BCM43> echelon`: what is your videa card?
[02:41] <Aintaer> Which is what I assume is happening?
[02:41] <andar> Aintaer: my problem is that nvsound + pulseaudio causes a hard lock
[02:42] <andar> nvsound being an OSS module
[02:42] <Bob24> Aintaer: They are actually folders would that be different?
[02:42] <Aintaer> Bob24: are you sure it's not a permissions problem?
[02:43] <Aintaer> There needs to be a way to disable pulseaudio from starting
[02:43] <BCM43> Bob24: but they are link to folders
[02:43] <Aintaer> I couldn't find it
[02:43] <BCM43> Aintaer: go to session manger
[02:44] <BCM43> Hey, it is a lul
[02:44] <Aintaer> BCM43: Aye, I see the pulse audio session management
[02:44] <Aintaer> but that's not where it's starting the PA server
[02:45] <Bob24> Aintaer: what would "l" mean in front of the permissions
[02:45] <BCM43> Aintaer: is this the ubuntu session manger?
[02:45] <Starnestommy> Bob24: l = symbolic Link
[02:45] <BobCFC> Aintaer: there is a file in /etc/init.d/pulseaudio   it starts as a service on runlevels
[02:45] <Aintaer> BCM43: wait, sorry, wrong thing
[02:45] <echelon`> nvidia geforce go
[02:45] <echelon`> wait
[02:46] <BobCFC> Aintaer: since it changed to upstart im fuzzy about preventing daemons but its in there
[02:46] <Aintaer> ugh.
[02:46] <Aintaer> why is pulseaudio the default sound daemon anyway
[02:46] <Aintaer> It doesn't seem mature enough for general usage
[02:47] <andar> yea
[02:47] <Bob24> Aintaer: then all the permissions should be ok it has this on all of them lrwxrwxwrx which is all ok.
[02:47] <andar> can i simply apt-get remove pulseaudio ?
[02:47] <BobCFC> Aintaer: one benefit for me is that my USB headphones show up as a second soundcard.. now i can tell any application to use the headphones... also you can change sound levels for each app individually
[02:47] <Aintaer> Bob24: I meant the permissions on the files they are pointing to
[02:47] <buntunub> andar: sudo apt-get remove -purge pulseaudio
[02:48] <Aintaer> FTP user might not have enough permissions to get into those
[02:48] <AnthroTechie> can anyone help me with getting my iphone to work with ubuntu? I already tried all the stuff in the ubuntu guide
[02:48] <Bob24> Aintaer: so if /user is linked to /myth, u mean the persmissions of user correct?
[02:48] <Aintaer> correct
[02:48] <BobCFC> AnthroTechie: i believe it only works if you jailbreak it
[02:49] <Aintaer> and all the subdirectories within /usr
[02:49] <Aintaer> err
[02:49] <Aintaer> I mean /user
[02:49] <luderacer> weeeeeeeeeeeee
[02:49] <AnthroTechie> BobCFC: I already did that. . .
[02:49] <Bob24> Aintaer: they are all ok lrwxrwxrwx.
[02:49] <Aintaer> Wait what
[02:49] <Aintaer> the targets for the symlinks should not be symlinks.
[02:49] <CorpseFeeder> BobCFC:Tried to connect to network server, with FTP and SSH... it keep saying "File unavailable" right after it counts up the files to copy :(
[02:50] <BCM43> luderacer: please stop
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> luderacer Did you have a ubuntu support related question
[02:50] <AnthroTechie> BobCFC: plus I already did the stuff in the ubuntu guide for ipods and iphones, except for putting my IP address in
[02:50] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: is it a permissions issue?
[02:50] <luderacer> nopers
[02:51] <luderacer> just tad drunk
[02:51] <luderacer> sorry was /amsg :P
[02:51] <Rabbitbunny> I'm having a problem getting sound to work in 8.04, It did work in 6.06. It's a  Creative Labs SB Audigy LS and google points to a ca0106 module. I've modprobe'd it, compiled it from source, rebooted.. I'm really at the end of what I know/what Google tells me. Hints?
[02:51] <BCM43> luderacer: then please stop desturbint the channel
[02:51] <CorpseFeeder> BobCFC: no.
[02:51] <luderacer> lmao
[02:51] <BCM43> Jack_Sparrow: ty
[02:51] <buntunub> AnthroTechie: you can use Amarok in KDE, Rythmbox in GNOME, or use gtkpod to transfer files on/off your ipod
[02:52] <Aintaer> hurr, which is the default runlevel for ubuntu and how can I check these things?
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> BCM43 np
[02:52] <BobCFC> buntunub: it's a jesus phone
[02:52] <Bob24> Aintaer: ok, so what i have done was ln -s /var/lib/mythtv/video /home/ftpusers/myth  so  i was supposed to do ls -s /home/ftpusers/myth /var/lib/mythtv/video  correct?
[02:52] <jrib> Aintaer: 2 use  'runlevel' to see your current runlevel.  Also, runlevels 2-5 are identical by default
[02:52] <BCM43> Jack_Sparrow: now he is pming me. how do i block him?
[02:53] <Rabbitbunny> /ignore thatgoofball
[02:53] <onthefence928> hey i just set up a fresh install of hardy heron, but now my firefox isn't starting correcty
[02:53] <dcordes_> onthefence928: what does it do?
[02:53] <onthefence928> when ever i try to start it it just creates an orphaned process
[02:53] <Aintaer> Bob24: the first argument should be the target directory
[02:54] <onthefence928> na doens't load up in any usable way
[02:54] <Aintaer> the second should be the link's name
[02:54] <BobCFC> onthefence928: if you run it from the terminal it should give you an error message
[02:54] <BCM43> Rabbitbunny: thanks
[02:54] <Rabbitbunny> BCM43: np
[02:55] <AnthroTechie> buntunub: I already tried that, but I have an iphone
[02:55] <duh1337> can anyone help solve my boot problem, or recommend a way to use LILO on ubuntu
[02:55] <Aintaer> Bob24: so what your first command there would do is make a link at /home/ftpusers/myth to /var/lib/mythtv/video
[02:55] <buntunub> not sure bout that then
[02:55] <onthefence928> BobCFC: wierd now my terminal isn't loading
[02:56] <BCM43> !tab > onthefence928
[02:56] <Bob24> Aintaer: so thats assuming i want to see everything in /myth correct?
[02:56] <BobCFC> duh1337: what's the problem with grub?
[02:57] <duh1337> I installed ubuntu on a new 80GB HD, didn't read the last option under advanced, and wrote grub to my windows drive (500GB). I don't have any two operating systems on a single drive, and don't know what to do
[02:57] <Aintaer> Bob24: that assumes that when you ftp in, your directory is /home/ftpusers/
[02:57] <duh1337> grub gives error 17
[02:57] <onthefence928> BCM43:  thanks, but why'd u send me that?
[02:57] <duh1337> I reinstalled grub to the correct drive, and I can see my boot options, but still get error 17
[02:57] <Bob24> Aintaer: ok yep thats ok
[02:57] <cinimod25_> hello
[02:57] <BobCFC> duh1337: you can reinstall grub from the livecd without reinstalling the whole ubuntu
[02:57] <BCM43> onthefence928: i could tell you were copy and pasteing the nicknames
[02:58] <duh1337> Well, I have reinstalled the whole ubuntu, and reinstalled grub, and they both didn't change anything
[02:58] <Aintaer> Bob24: then you should check your /var/lib/mythtv/video directory's permissions
[02:58] <hua> hi everyone i am trying to load ubuntu to my sony pcg-fx150k laptop but after select install from the install menu the screen just turned blank with a blinking line  on top left
[02:58] <onthefence928> BCM43: interesting, well any idea on my problem?
[02:58] <Bob24> Aintaer: ok so ln - s /home/ftpusers/myth /var/lib/mythtv/video correct?
[02:58] <cjkall_> who can help me ?
[02:58] <duh1337> I wanted it to be easy, I just wanted to select the correct HDD from my boot picker and it would load
[02:58] <BobCFC> duh1337: sounds like you bios isn't point to grub maybe?  which hard disk is first in the boot sequence?
[02:58] <onthefence928> also, how do you check on your swap disk partition?
[02:58] <Aintaer> Bob24: where are you trying to go?
[02:58] <BCM43> onthefence928: i have not been following carefully, so no sorry
[02:59] <BCM43> onthefence928: free
[02:59] <cjkall_> I have a program ?
[02:59] <duh1337> The windows HDD is first, but I select every time usually
[02:59] <BCM43> onthefence928: put that in therminal
[02:59] <BCM43> onthefence928: **terminal
[02:59] <duh1337> I have tried selecting the Windows (500) and the linux (80)
[02:59] <Bob24> Aintaer: to be able see /videos in /myth.
[02:59] <BCM43> ask | cjkall_
[02:59] <onthefence928> BCM43:  my terminal isn't loading :(
[02:59] <BCM43> !ask | cjkall_
[02:59] <PCcertified> Question, is there a better documented fax program I can use with UBUNTU?  my voice-modem is setup correctly, but I'm having a difficult time finding simple answers for mgetty.
[03:00] <Aintaer> Bob24: then you should do ln -s /videos /myth
[03:00] <BCM43> onthefence928: try clicking again
[03:00] <Rabbitbunny> onthefence928: xterm?
[03:00] <tj83> hello PCcertified
[03:00] <amit`> Bash scripting is basically python?
[03:00] <PCcertified> hi tj83, nice to see you
[03:00] <dbenx> dd
[03:00] <bruenig> amit`: no
[03:00] <onthefence928> Rabbitbunny:  no just the standard terminal on ubuntu
[03:00] <amit`> Which language then? And how can you learn it?
[03:01] <yuri_> ola gata
[03:01] <PCcertified> Has anyone here successfully set up a fax or answering machine in Ubuntu 8.04?
[03:01] <Aintaer> Oh yeah, I should check if Enlightenment has made any progress
[03:01] <Bob24> Aintaer: ok so to remove a previous link i would type rm in front correct?
[03:01] <Kira> I have a Windows server behind my office firewall and I'm temporarily hosting a website on it. I also have a Ubuntu box at a datacenter. What tool should I use to portscan for the port 80 of my office IP from the ubuntu box?
[03:01] <bruenig> amit`: there are books and tutorials and such, it is similar to shell languages, limited internal features, meant generally as a way of connecting external apps together
[03:01] <AnthroTechie> is anyone really good at solving issues with iphone and ubuntu? I've already gone through the official guide on how to do it, but I'm still having problems
[03:01] <Aintaer> Bob24: which is the real directory and which is the symlink?
[03:01] <Rabbitbunny> onthefence928: press ctrl+alt+F1, wait a moment, then press ctrl+alt+F7.  See that screen that brought up? That's a terminal.
[03:02] <PCcertified> tj83: I chose Ubuntu cuz it's supposed to be newbie friendly and I'm beginning to regret my choice
[03:02] <amit`> Any suggestions as to where I can start bruenig?
[03:02] <duh1337> Me too, hahaha
[03:02] <BobCFC> duh1337: i think you need to restore the bootrecord on the windows disk but you should still be able to boot linux?
[03:02] <duh1337> towards PCcertified
[03:02] <duh1337> I cannot boot linux at all
[03:02] <duh1337> no
[03:02] <PCcertified> thats no good duh1337
[03:02] <tj83> PCcertified well..... Ubuntu is more "user-friendly" than any other linux distro... but its not windows nor is it intended to be
[03:02] <Aintaer> PCcertified: it's more widely accessible than many other distros
[03:03] <hua> hi everyone i am trying to load ubuntu to my sony pcg-fx150k laptop but after select install from the install menu the screen just turned blank with a blinking line  on top left
[03:03] <bruenig> amit`: find a script that you know what it does, read it until you understand it
[03:03] <Rabbitbunny> amit`: google 'Bash scripting tutorial'
[03:03] <onthefence928> Rabbitbunny:  yeah i've used the terminal before, but even with your instructions i just get a empty window
[03:03] <Bob24> Aintaer: The /myth is the real ftp directory, so i want to see videos in myth.
[03:03] <Aintaer> Meaning more rough edges in linux has been sanded
[03:03] <PCcertified> tj83: I know that, but I can set up my hardware much easier in fedora.
[03:03] <Aintaer> Bob24: wait, so when you ftp in, which directory are you in?
[03:03] <scifiguy951> i have recently mounted a  secondary HDD and when i try to put files in it, it says i dont have permission to do that???WTF??
[03:03] <PCcertified> tj83: for me, Ubuntu is a whole new learning curve.
[03:03] <duh1337> I'm thinking about going to fedora as well, the only ubuntu I can get is from the live CD
[03:03] <BCM43> PCcertified: it is rather simple for linux
[03:04] <Bob24> Aintaer: im in the /myth directory.
[03:04] <tj83> PCcertified I havent tried fedora so I wouldnt know.
[03:04] <Aintaer> Bob24: okay so then which one is the symlink?
[03:04] <Rabbitbunny> onthefence928: ...You should be getting a login prompt at tty1.  There's a keycombo to bring up a little thingy like Windows Start>Run, lemme look it up.
[03:04] <aixenv> BCM43: i followed all the steps and if i do iwlist scan it tells me wlan0 is down
[03:04] <Bob24> Aintaer: i see the videos folder in it.
[03:04] <BCM43> onthefence928: Rabbitbunny ctrl + alt + f1
[03:04] <scifiguy951> ???
[03:05] <aixenv> BCM43: im on my windows box with the laptop next to me, can you give me that link again so i can bookmark it pls
[03:05] <BCM43> aixenv: if you are having problems, try in the associated forum
[03:05] <AnthroTechie> when ever I try and mount my iphone via the command line, I get an error message "Please add yourself to the fuse group, logout/in and try again" what does this mean?.
[03:05] <PCcertified> BCM43: if it's so easy, why has it taken me 8 days to setup 4 hardware devices, and only one of them is working
[03:05] <Rabbitbunny> BCM43: nah, not tty1, there's one that lets you run a single command without ever leaving the gui.
[03:05] <xzedn> !Enter
[03:05] <amenado> PCcertified-> which settings are you having an issue with?
[03:05] <BobCFC> Rabbitbunny: Alt-F2
[03:05] <BCM43> aixenv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[03:05] <aixenv> ty
[03:05] <PCcertified> tj83:  I think it comes down to abundance of infomation.  I think there is more support for fedora
[03:06] <BCM43> PCcertified: i said easy for linux
[03:06] <Rabbitbunny> BobCFC: Golden.
[03:06] <BCM43> Rabbitbunny: just go to run
[03:06] <duh1337> AnthroTechie I use mac OS X but when running openSSH on the iPhone you can connect with any terminal
[03:06] <FroodooVoodoo> thats not
[03:06] <Aintaer> okay time to reboot
[03:06] <Aintaer> let's hope my grub config is right
[03:06] <FroodooVoodoo> it came in news recently
[03:06] <BobCFC> gl
[03:06] <duh1337> just type ssh than the IP of your iPhone found under settings>Wi-Fi
[03:07] <onthefence928> BCM43: when i tried to run firefox in teh terminal it said something about a "no display specified"
[03:07] <Rabbitbunny> onthefence928: So, you'll need to press Alt+F2, type 'xterm', then type 'xterm' in the window that comes up.
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !coc
[03:07] <BCM43> onthefence928: run uname -a when you can
[03:07] <FroodooVoodoo> centosian: what i was saying is that with the env-global-home thing, a non-root user can install the module, and point his installed version at any data file he chooses and comes with a sensible, predictable default
[03:07] <PCcertified> amenado: lets see, I installed the modem yesterday, and even though the package was supposedly compiled for ubuntu, I still had to correct some files, symlinks and config files to get it to work.   now y modem works, tested ith minicom
[03:07] <FroodooVoodoo> jonny d=<
[03:07] <Bob24> Aintaer: You see i can see all my linked folders in my /myth directory in ftp client, but cannot go into them.
[03:07] <Rabbitbunny> onthefence928: err, without the second xterm
[03:08] <tj83> PCcertified In general linux is linux at heart. And yes.. Ubuntu is a rather new distro.. but its built on in my opinion the better classic distro Debian.. which is where I first came into the linux scene.
[03:08] <scifiguy951> ??
[03:08] <hatman> When I run programs that require entering a password (e.g. Synaptic)  the login screen isn't appearing.  I can see that the gksu process starts but nothing ever shows up on my screen.  Anyone have any idea why not and what I can try to fix this? I can run these programs starting from the command line using sudo so it is not that the program itself is broken.
[03:08] <FroodooVoodoo> and hispanics
[03:08] <BCM43> onthefence928: PCcertified cjkall_ tj83:i gtg, sorry, bye all
[03:08] <FroodooVoodoo> apeiron: the worst case is you are out 20 bucks.
[03:08] <FroodooVoodoo> c'mon then bb
[03:08] <tj83> bye BCM43
[03:08] <CorpseFeeder> BobCFC: I don't know what is up - it just keeps saying either "file is not a directory" or "file unavailable" etc... connecting with gFTP works for a while then disconnects are can't reconnect...
[03:09] <FroodooVoodoo> sinoohe-> if not, create one then..then we can proceed
[03:09] <amenado> PCcertified-> okay, can you dial out on any of the lines? how many dial-lines (serial ports) do you have?
[03:09] <PCcertified> amenado: as for my non working devices,  2 webcams, (one of which has drivers available) my printer ( which only supports part of the functions) and my scanner, which has a driver available.   so I can not get my scanner or webcam to work.  but thats not todays issue.
[03:09] <AnthroTechie> duh1337: I already have that installed on my iphone.  How do I use the openSSH to connect with the terminal in ubuntu?
[03:09] <BobCFC> CorpseFeeder: zip the whole lot up into a tar.bz2 file or tar.gz and copy just one file?
[03:10] <scifiguy951> can someone help me with a newly mounted HDD??
[03:10] <scifiguy951> i cant put files on it
[03:10] <onthefence928> BCM43: ok i ran "uname -a" what am i looking for?
[03:10] <Bob24> Aintaer: You see i can see all my linked folders in my /myth directory in ftp client, but cannot go into them.
[03:10] <FroodooVoodoo> yes, paladin
[03:10] <scifiguy951> it says i dont the the permissions neccary
[03:10] <Rabbitbunny> I'm having a problem getting sound to work in 8.04, It did work in 6.06. It's a  Creative Labs SB Audigy LS and google points to a ca0106 module. I've modprobe'd it, compiled it from source, rebooted.. I'm really at the end of what I know/what Google tells me. Hints?
[03:10] <jrib> scifiguy951: what filesystem?
[03:10] <FroodooVoodoo> i cant connect to the internet wirelessly, can anyone help?
[03:10] <FroodooVoodoo> its always quiet here
[03:10] <Scooma> scifiguy951,  yeah sounds like you mounted it read-only
[03:10] <PCcertified> amenado:  as I said, I tested the modem with minicom and all the features work to the best of my knowledge.  what I can find is a functional app to use it with.
[03:10] <tj83> onthefence928... BCM43 has left
[03:10] <duh1337> AnthroTechie: open the terminal type "ssh XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" where the Xs are your IP address, I assume this works in ububntu, it works in OS X terminal. you need to have the iPhone on the same network as the comptuer you are connecting with
[03:11] <FroodooVoodoo> kubuntu came with that theme
[03:11] <scifiguy951> the standard file system for ubuntu
[03:11] <Bob24> i can see all my linked folders in my /myth directory in ftp client, but cannot go into them.
[03:11] <onthefence928> tj83: oh sorry
[03:11] <BobCFC> scifiguy951: is it formated as windows?  can you use it as root user?
[03:11] <Rabbitbunny> duh1337: ssh user@host
[03:11] <amenado> PCcertified-> have you looked into HylaFax?
[03:11] <scifiguy951> idk?
[03:11] <scifiguy951> how can i find out?
[03:11] <cjones> whats a good linux version of ftprush?
[03:11] <tj83> onthefence928... no problem.. What was he helping you with?
[03:11] <jrib> scifiguy951: did you format the hard drive?
[03:11] <FroodooVoodoo> ok thanks
[03:11] <jrib> !who | scifiguy951
[03:11] <scifiguy951> yes
[03:11] <FroodooVoodoo> hm.
[03:11] <FroodooVoodoo> wols: for example i did aptitude install nano but it didn't list it in dpkg.log
[03:12] <Scooma> scifiguy951, open a terminal and type    mount
[03:12] <PCcertified> amenado: I tried using mgetty since it's a voice modem, but once I installed it using synaptic, I had no menu item, no idea where to find documentation and have been researching it for 3 days.
[03:12] <jrib> scifiguy951: well, what filesystem did you format it as?
[03:12] <aixenv> BCM43: that fixed it ty, i had to run the Hardy Bug fix
[03:12] <puff> I installed drivers for wmv support, but I get this odd freeze-frame effect with the video.  The audio plays normally, but it's as if I'm getting a still frame every 10 seconds (synchronized more or less with the audio).
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> BCM43 May I have a word?
[03:12] <Bob24> i can see all my linked folders in my /myth directory in ftp client, but cannot go into them.
[03:12] <duh1337> alright, thanks in Mac OS X it asks username and password after you put in IP
[03:12] <PCcertified> amenado: I did not try hylafax yet, I'll look into it.
[03:12] <BobCFC> scifiguy951: is it an external drive?
[03:12] <FroodooVoodoo> my cat has a job
[03:12] <FroodooVoodoo> maybe after platinum comes out but not announced yet
[03:12] <Rabbitbunny> Bob24: man chown and chmod.
[03:12] <tj83> Jack_sparrow... BCM43 has left... or so he said.
[03:12] <FroodooVoodoo> rgsteele||work, oic
[03:12] <duh1337> Can anyone help me with my GRUB problem?
[03:12] <amenado> PCcertified-> have you ever setup a dial-in/dial-out modem with linux?
[03:12] <scifiguy951> no its an IDE internal
[03:13] <FroodooVoodoo> i just want to 'fix' it back to proper behaviour..same way it works on slack, debian/sid, gentoo, etc.
[03:13] <Bob24> permissions are ok though.
[03:13] <onthefence928> tj83: trying to figure out why firefox is creating orphaned processes and not booting up
[03:13] <PCcertified> amendo at this time I wanted to setup VOCP and it required a functional mgetty.
[03:13] <Rabbitbunny> Bob24: The ftpd may be limiting you.
[03:13] <scifiguy951> ext3 is the filesystem
[03:13] <aixenv> sweet hoppin back on the laptop :)
[03:13] <onthefence928> and why my terminal is acting wierd unless i get to it using xterm or ctrl-alt-f1
[03:13] <jrib> !permissions > scifiguy951 (read the private message from ubottu)
[03:13] <PCcertified> amenado: I have used mgetty before with fedora
[03:13] <Scooma> scifiguy951,  does it saw mode rw or r
[03:13] <amenado> PCcertified-> have you ever setup a dial-in/dial-out modem with linux?  <-- the basics first, before whatever the VOCP is
[03:13] <Bob24> how could i change that
[03:13] <tj83> onthefence928... ouch.. sounds out of my league. sorry
[03:13] <FroodooVoodoo> how did you test it
[03:13] <Scooma> saw = say
[03:14] <puff> Can anybody help me with playing wmv?
[03:14] <jrib> scifiguy951: use chmod/chown appropriately to set the permissions you want (see ubottu's link).  Feel free to ask questions if you aren't sure about something after reading the link
[03:14] <BobCFC> scifiguy951: i think you mounted it to a folder like /media/mydisk or /mnt/mydisk that only root can access?
[03:14] <scifiguy951> where in terminal?
[03:14] <jrib> !restricted > puff (read the private message from ubottu)
[03:14] <FroodooVoodoo> especially the ones helping you...
[03:14] <anirudh0> scifiguy951, did you modify any permissions in /dev ?
[03:14] <Rabbitbunny> onthefence928: press alt+f2, type firefox on the box, click 'run in terminal', click 'run'
[03:14] <PCcertified> amenado: I installed it from synaptic, but it appears it did not set it up to start at boot and I can't find the inittab to add it manually.
[03:14] <scifiguy951> no
[03:14] <FroodooVoodoo> when i try to sudo chmod -r 777 /media/job
[03:14] <scifiguy951> how do i do that?
[03:14] <Bob24> RAbbitbunny: how could i change that
[03:14] <FroodooVoodoo> fit, it was like, there.
[03:14] <FroodooVoodoo> genii: i try to edit smb.conf
[03:14] <amenado> PCcertified-> ubuntu does not use inittab anymore..
[03:14] <DJ_HaMsTa> i changed the hostname of my server to <IP_ADDRESS> which is the ip that the router assigned it, and now i am unable to connect to it via putty, how could i repair it withoit phyisicaly being near the server?
[03:14] <PCcertified> amenado: I will repeat this one more time....YES YES YES
[03:14] <jrib> scifiguy951: read the link ubottu gave you so you can understand how permissions work
[03:14] <FroodooVoodoo> gordonjcp: not unless using the graphical update-thingy, no
[03:15] <FroodooVoodoo> probably.
[03:15] <puff> jrib: Yeah, that's the page I followed in setting up wmv codecs.
[03:15] <AnthroTechie> duh1337: does this mean that both the iphone and your computer need to have a static ip address?
[03:15] <Rabbitbunny> Bob24: You'd have to either man your_ftpd, or hopefully google will hep you find the help documentation. do you know the name of the ftpd?
[03:15] <amenado> PCcertified-> okay, and where is it failing in terms of mgetty?
[03:15] <BobCFC> scifiguy951: which is the mount point?  which directory?
[03:15] <PCcertified> amenado:  I stated earlier I have used mgetty with Fedora successfully.  mgetty is used for modems, fax and voice
[03:15] <jrib> puff: and?
[03:15] <PCcertified> I do not know how to start it as a server at boot
[03:15] <PCcertified> amen
