[00:00] <bazhang> StealthCP, ??
[00:00] <StealthCP> that's one of the worst scripts ever
[00:00] <StealthCP> so dangerous and crude
[00:00] <the_g3rm> so would anyone know why when i reboot i have to run in low graphics mode
[00:00] <kcarden> anyone that can help installing and using synCE for my WM6.1 device?
[00:00] <rww> StealthCP: what on earth are you talking about?
[00:00] <JohnPhys> for compiz, go to the settings manager, click "General", and hten it's in the Display Settings tab.
[00:00] <StealthCP> that iso2usb.sh script he gave me
[00:01] <Skiessi> how can I convert ext3 partition to ext4?
[00:01] <Chlorate> JohnPhys: Alright.. I'll just mess with it.
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> !ext4
[00:01] <StealthCP> no error or sanity checking, no nothing
[00:01] <StealthCP> just crude automation :P
[00:01] <sketch2002> anyone know what would cause my resolution to be 800x600 on my laptop display without a monitor attached, with one attached it uses the max res for that monitor (1024x768). How do I get it to realize that without a monitor it should be 1920x1200?
[00:01] <Skiessi> okay I found it
[00:01] <StealthCP> it's screwed a lot of things up, for some reason it tried to unmount every device on my running system

[00:02] <mib_6357a9> does ubuntu have like a system restore?

[00:02] <Chlorate> JohnPhys: Any place I can look to check the refresh rate for my graphics card?
[00:02] <kcarden> anyone that can help installing and using synCE for my WM6.1 device?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> Skiessi: make sure you have a decent backup of your important data
[00:02] <edenroz> hello,i have a sony viao vgn-cs11z, how can i use the touchbutton? (play/foward and sound control)
[00:02] <bazhang> mib_6357a9, not really no
[00:02] <StealthCP> I give up - can someone here provide guidance on installing Ubuntu from a USB drive?  from the first, bootable partition on it too?
[00:02] <bazhang> mib_6357a9, though you can rsync backups progressively
[00:03] <ari_stress> good morning all :)
[00:03] <kcarden> stealth: are you on an ubuntu box right now?
[00:03] <bazhang> StealthCP, using intrepid or other
[00:03] <JohnPhys> Chlorate: I don't know how to do it for ATI, only really know for nvidia
[00:03] <StealthCP> intrepid bazhang
[00:03] <Chlorate> JohnPhys: Maybe it's similar, how do you do it for nvidia?
[00:04] <bazhang> StealthCP, what about the usb-creator builtin to intrepid
[00:04] <JohnPhys> Chlorate: lol, I load up "nvidia-settings" and check
[00:04] <StealthCP> is this on the ubuntu forums?
[00:04] <kcarden> SteathCP:  the USB creator is located under system>admin>USB creator
[00:04] <Cyber_Hades> It's hard to create a cluster ?? I have 2 ubuntu linux pc in lan ????

[00:05] <Mickmeister> BigMike, any port number above 1024 would be a safe bet.
[00:06] <kcarden> anyone that can help installing and using synCE for my WM6.1 device?
[00:06] <BigMike> ok tyvm
[00:06] <sketch2002> IndyGunFreak... not sure how to respond the way you sent that message to me... see private chat please (or educate me, that'd be better)
[00:06] <DVA5912> anyone familiar with moto4lin
[00:06] <fosco__> DVA5912: a few
[00:06] <Cyber_Hades> How i can create CLUSTER betwen 2 pc in lan ? Some tutorial ??
[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> sketch2002: i don't respond to PMs unless i solicit them, but that card should work fine w/ the restricted driver, i have it on my main PC.
[00:06] <bazhang> Cyber_Hades, please dont repeat so often
[00:06] <Mickmeister> BigMike, no problem.
[00:06] <Cyber_Hades> Oki
[00:06] <StealthCP> bazhang, I'm currently running a messy Slax installation, on an EeePc with no cd-rom drive, wishing to boot the install from USB for intrepid
[00:07] <DVA5912> fosco_know how to make it work with my Motorola I335
[00:07] <bazhang> StealthCP, okay; you want the netbook remix then?
[00:07] <JohnPhys> Chlorate: yeah, sorry
[00:07] <sketch2002> IndyGunFreak: ... understandable, how do I respond like you sent the message? It shows up with your name in yellow on my side... is it just because you put my name followed by a colon?
[00:07] <StealthCP> bazhang, yes, however I thought that was post install
[00:07] <fosco__> DVA5912: i've used it with SLVR L7, just make sure you know the right device
[00:08] <IndyGunFreak> sketch2002: you just did, just prefix anything you say w/ my name.
[00:08] <bazhang> StealthCP, nope, that is the install :)
[00:08] <IndyGunFreak> sketch2002: or whoever you happen to be talking to.
[00:08] <edenroz> hello,i have a sony viao vgn-cs11z, how can i use the touchbutton? (play/foward and sound control). am under ubuntu 8.10
[00:08] <DVA5912> fosco__: how do i know the right device?
[00:08] <cinco29> ubuntu i luv this os
[00:08] <fosco__> DVA5912: plig in the phone and run dmesg command
[00:08] <fosco__> plug*
[00:08] <DVA5912> ahh!!!
[00:08] <Abed> guys i have a question, i made a c code and gcc -o code code.c and i want only the root to run it so i did sudo chown root code && sudo chmod +s code but when i try it by any other users it runs noramlly
[00:09] <DVA5912> aww man i got to sift through all that
[00:09] <DVA5912> :(
[00:09] <fosco__> DVA5912: mine is /dev/ttyACM0, look for someting similar
[00:09] <sketch2002> IndyGunFreak: Ok, thought it was something that only I saw, not the rest of the room, cool. XChat doesn't tell you that anywhere I could find. Back to my problem, I've tried the nv and nvidia drivers (96, 173, 177, 180.11, 180.22) none work, I'm stuck using the vesa driver. But it doesn't make sense that I get 1024x768 with the monitor connected and only 800x600 without it?
[00:09] <nvrpunk> how do I check if someoen else is SSH'd into a box?
[00:10] <IndyGunFreak> sketch2002: i honestly can't explain that

[00:10] <fosco__> DVA5912: yes, it is
[00:10] <sketch2002> IndyGunFreak: lol... thanks, at least I don't feel so noobish if I'm not alone
[00:10] <nvrpunk> ok, thanks
[00:10] <StealthCP> bazhang, according to http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr it is simply packages to install on top of a regular installation
[00:11] <StealthCP> "You can download the packages for Ubuntu Netbook Remix at so and so..."
[00:11] <sketch2002> bazhang: the laptop display and a connected monitor
[00:11] <bazhang> StealthCP, eeebuntu is what I was referring to; /msg ubottu usb or pendrivelinux.com
[00:11] <edenroz> hello,i have a sony viao vgn-cs11z, how can i use the touchbutton? (play/foward and sound control). am under ubuntu 8.10. sorry if i repeat again
[00:11] <bazhang> StealthCP, if you have any questions then give a shout
[00:11] <mynameismud> is there anything wrong with putting labels on my partitions?
[00:12] <rww> mynameismud: works fine for me
[00:12] <Abed> guys i have a question, i made a c code and gcc -o code code.c and i want only the root to run it so i did sudo chown root code && sudo chmod +s code but when i try it by any other users it runs noramlly

[00:12] <DVA5912> fosco__ i have this at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043652 ive posted the output of moto4lin if you can decifer it
[00:12] <bazhang> sketch2002, that would be limited to the total allowable resolution for the two displays combined
[00:12] <StealthCP> hmm, I steered away from eeebuntu as in the past it provided me with serious headaches with stuff built and installed from source and system breakages when updating packages
[00:12] <bazhang> sketch2002, ie in your video card
[00:13] <sketch2002> bazhang, not sure I follow. without the monitor I'm stuck at a lower res than with it. Both the internal display and the external one show the same thing when it's connected
[00:13] <mithro> on intrepid where I can put scripts to be run after a resume from ram?
[00:13] <bazhang> StealthCP, just installed it the other day without worries, you may also go for straight ubuntu but takes a bit o tweaking to get all the fn etc keys wifi working

[00:14] <bazhang> vock, net upgrade?
[00:14] <vock> bazhang: From the update manager
[00:14] <mithro> it use to be /etc/acpi-support - but they never seem to be run anymore
[00:14] <StealthCP> hmm, got you then, perhaps it's improved in time, I'll give it a shot, what a waste of time this has been, the past 3 hours :P
[00:14] <Skiessi> yock, at least then no
[00:14] <bazhang> vock, via the net and not a fresh install should keep them
[00:14] <serengeti> JohnPhys, success ;) I have forced the original version of NetworkManager, removed the line regarding eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces (now why was the line there? I had never edited this file before), and after a reboot ran sudo nm-connection-editor. And the Auto profile now remembers my static ip even between reboots.
[00:14] <StealthCP> and I need to get up for college in 5 :/
[00:15] <vock> bazhang: thanks
[00:15] <sketch2002> bazhang, I've done a lot of playing around with xorg.conf and not gotten very far. At least I've learned how to edit it from the prompt (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and from within X (terminal > sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf)... and I've tried all sorts of combinations trying to get both to work and not be identical.
[00:15] <bazhang> StealthCP, well come back when or if you have questions :)
[00:15] <serengeti> JohnPhys, thanks for your help :)
[00:15] <JohnPhys> serengeti: glad to hear it!  No problem
[00:15] <BigMike> Mickmeister I changed the port and now cant connect to my ftp by cell phone does the phone use port 80 only or should it matter?
[00:16] <mynameismud> ok, /dev/sda7 is equivalent to hd(0,6) yes?
[00:16] <mynameismud> er, (hd0,6) rather
[00:16] <ezerhoden> mynameismud: yes
[00:16] <sketch2002> BigMike, getting in the middle of your conversation and I don't see the start, but if you changed the port you may need to specify it, put :PortNumber after the server name
[00:17] <mynameismud> SCORE!
[00:17] <mynameismud> thanks
[00:17] <StealthCP> bazhang, there was no mention of install size, do you know if the netbook remix will still fit on my 4GB SSD?
[00:17] <bazhang> StealthCP, with ease :)
[00:17] <EtFb> Planning to upgrade my laptop.  Any advice on what to choose, or NOT to choose?  Price range is under AUD$1000, and I've already decided to avoid Dell and ASUS due to their poor customer service.
[00:17] <StealthCP> ok, cool thanks :)
[00:18] <EtFb> (Oh, I should add: I'll be using Kubuntu 8.10.)
[00:18] <LetterRip> hi all - i've mounted an os x shared folder (sharing using smb) and trying to copy files to it but it always times out (a single text file transfers ok - but trying to do larger stuff it times out/never seems to start)
[00:18] <LetterRip> any suggestions
[00:18] <sketch2002> EtFb, customer service is a poor reason to choose (or not choose) a company. Usually you're better off with Google than any customer service department, lol
[00:19] <tsunami> I migrated from kubuntu to ubuntu to use boxee and with a fresh install of boxee it fails without error (i blame the move from kubuntu > ubuntu, is that reasonable?).

[00:20] <Rocking-W> no linux mirc
[00:20] <ic3fr0g> bazhang Script... protect channel self automated commands.. flood prots etc..

[00:21] <ic3fr0g> irc scripts exist on linux or not ?
[00:21] <gleaken> question regarding bluetooth mighty mouse left clicking issue.  I cannot left click.  Scroll and movement works, left and right click don't work
[00:21] <bazhang> ic3fr0g, via wine?
[00:21] <gleaken> any ideas?
[00:21] <sketch2002> bazhang, what did you mean by "that would be limited to the total allowable..." ? my problem is that with a monitor connected my displays are both 1024x768, without it I can get a max of 800x600 on the internal display. It should easily get 1920x1200, which it uses in Windows.
[00:21] <Rocking-W> konversation is good irc
[00:21] <fosco__> ic3fr0g: yes, take a look on www.xchat.org
[00:21] <ic3fr0g> bazhang dont undesteand what you talking abount m8. :/
[00:21] <squirt33_> How do I find what graphics drivers I am using?
[00:21] <tsunami> i don't like mirc as a client
[00:21] <bazhang> ic3fr0g, mirc is windows app
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: do you use compiz?
[00:22] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: yes
[00:22] <ic3fr0g> microsoft internet relay chat..
[00:22] <EtFb> sketch2002: In Dell's case, however, the poor attitude to single users combines with their habit of using even more non-standard components than usual.
[00:22] <ic3fr0g> ok then..
[00:22] <BigMike> yes but mirc does work in wine
[00:22] <ic3fr0g> any IRC = internet relay chat Script ?
[00:22] <bazhang> ic3fr0g, yes, so it needs wine to run
[00:22] <Bodsda> ic3fr0g, emphasis on 'microsoft' why would you wont it on linux?
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: its a compiz thing, I've seen compiz break mouse clicks loads
[00:22] <BigMike> yes I ran it in wine

[00:23] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: let me turn off compiz
[00:23] <Bodsda> Brack10, no, it displays mounted volumes, use sudo fdisk -l  to see your drives
[00:23] <Brack10> bodsda: mounted volumes, sorry
[00:23] <Bodsda> Brack10, no worries, same thing basically -- sudo fdisk -l   is what your looking for though :)
[00:24] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: nope, no luck
[00:24] <Rencx> does anyone now how i can install cinelerra
[00:24] <tsunami> are there known problems from migrating to ubuntu from kubuntu?
[00:24] <Brack10> Bodsda:  So if I wanted to mount /dev/sda3 to  a folder, I could do "mount /dev/sda3 /hdd2"?
[00:24] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: this is not the clicking issue I have seen in firefox, no mouse click is recognized at all

[00:24] <Bodsda> Rencx, http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu
[00:25] <Bodsda> Brack10, yes, but you would need to use sudo -- sudo mount /dev/sda3 /hdd2
[00:25] <Brack10> ok cool
[00:25] <Brack10> thanks
[00:25] <Bodsda> Brack10, assuming you have a /hdd2 folder
[00:25] <Brack10> the folder needs to exist first?
[00:25] <deea> hi all. what's the name for gnome-mag application? And generally how can I find out program names from installed packages?
[00:25] <sketch2002> EtFb, valid. I ran across a few comparisons of netbooks a while back that seemed pretty informative. I think the put the Eee in first place, but then I think it was listed like 4 times for the various versions. The netbook business is still too new to have any really good options though.
[00:25] <Bodsda> Brack10, just a quick fyi, its common to put mounted devices in /media/filename
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: does the mouse click create an event in xev
[00:26] <inman> edenroz there maybe a fix i dont know but i have a acer and cant use the same buttons but no great loss to me i prefer linux
[00:26] <linuxman410> rencx use this link it tells you http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu
[00:26] <Bodsda> Brack10, yes -- although i think pmount will make it on the fly for you
[00:26] <jasonWagstaff> i am trying to boot a linux live cd 8.10 x_64 and am getting comreset errror.... is there a way to get around this?
[00:26] <EtFb> sketch2002: Not looking for a netbook, though; they're too tiny for serious use as a main machine.
[00:26] <Brack10> ok sweet
[00:26] <Brack10> thanks a bunch
[00:26] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: haven't checked yet, what would the best way to do that be?
[00:26] <edenroz> inman, :)
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: run xev in terminal and click in the lil box, it will react
[00:27] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: got it, nope, no events registered
[00:27] <sketch2002> EtFb, ah, somehow I translated your initial question to asking about netbooks specifically. :-) my bad
[00:27] <chris_83> anyone knows if the ati hd3300 on amd 790gx mainboards is working fine with fglrx?
[00:27] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: the motion, scrolling register, but not left or right click
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: ok then you need to reconfigure the driver or link between as the mouse click is not being detected
[00:29] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: ok, well, I tried plain jane setup with the new gui config, and I tried using the older change to xorg.conf which I used before, both the same issue
[00:29] <EtFb> sketch2002: np.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: what make / model is the mouse?
[00:30] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: it uses the evdev driver
[00:30] <brett> Hey, I'm getting a FATAL:  unrecognized configuration parameter "redirect_stderr" when starting postgresql 8.3
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: gleaken: what make / model is the mouse?
[00:30] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: Bluetooth Mighty Mouse
[00:31] <mithro> so anyone know?  on intrepid where I can put scripts to be run after a resume from ram?
[00:31] <Trel> When using loadkeys, if I wanna bind something to Alt+Left what do I set it = to?
[00:31] <squirt33_> Is there a tool for reconfiguring GTK themes in the next release of Ubuntu?
[00:31] <mithro> searching the web has not reveled much, just the old locations which no longer work
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: http://www.marteydodoo.com/2007/06/08/wireless-mighty-mouse-on-ubuntu-linux/
[00:32] <Rencx> cant install it
[00:33] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: yep, I used a different xorg.conf section because I don't want the mighty mouse to be my main mouse, so I changed corepointer to option sendcoreevents true, but this site also says left clicks are issues, but the main article has no problems
[00:33] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there an active kpovmodeler irc channel anywhere?
[00:33] <squirt33_> Is there a tool for reconfiguring GTK themes in the next release of Ubuntu?
[00:33] <quiksilver> i'm an official ubuntu user now
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> gleaken: i'd try it as the main mouse to see if it makes it work
[00:33] <quiksilver> i'm wondering where the heck to get all the drivers i need for my dell though
[00:33] <Cyber_Hades> Please someone ! I true make a cluster... i must install Kerriquhed on oth computer ?
[00:33] <quiksilver> such as graphics, sound drivers, etc
[00:34] <squirt33_> quiksilver: didn't they come on your system when you installed Ubuntu?
[00:34] <Cyber_Hades> or just one...
[00:35] <Cyber_Hades> i have to install kerriqhed on all computer or just one if i wanna cluster ?
[00:36] <Cyber_Hades> ok tnx i going to kill myself...
[00:36] <Cyber_Hades> :(
[00:36] <squirt33_> quiksilver: What drivers are you missing? What version ubuntu (I'm assuming 8.10 Intrepid, right?) ?
[00:36] <inman> back
[00:37] <sketch2002> ok, so maybe I just need to try 1920x1080 instead of 1920x1200... going to try that, later all.
[00:37] <quiksilver> squirt33_: yes
[00:37] <quiksilver> thanks
[00:37] <gleaken> ActionParsnip: considering the way input devices are automatically recognized, what way would be best to stop the touchpad from being enumerated as the corepointer, just change the entry in xorg.conf?
[00:38] <quiksilver> it auto  prompted me to enable my geforce drivers but it says something about being locked when i try and install
[00:38] <squirt33_> quiksilver: which ones, though? sound, wifi? What cards, chips do you have? No one can help you if you don't post that.
[00:38] <the_squircle> Does anybody know how to change the mirror in ubuntu server (command line)?
[00:38] <JohnPhys> quiksilver: do you have synaptic or the add/remove programs program open?
[00:38] <Gerinych> im using a usb adapter to connect my ps2 controller to my computer. somehow i need to map it to /dev/js0. how?
[00:38] <quiksilver> syanptic is updating my system right now
[00:39] <quiksilver> 220 some odd updates
[00:39] <quiksilver> i just converted to ubuntu today
[00:39] <quiksilver> no more microsoft
[00:39] <JohnPhys> quiksilver: that's why, only one program can install/update packges at a time.  wait until synaptic is done, then you should be able to get the geforce stuff
[00:39] <the_squircle> quiksilver: congrats!
[00:39] <ConstantineXVI> the_squircle, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:39] <quiksilver> thanks
[00:39] <gmm46> I am running a script for my new game console I made (Ubuntu Linux Based) and I need that script to run in fullscreen without me pressing F11. Is this possible?
[00:40] <squirt33_> quicksilver: what other drivers do you need?
[00:40] <the_squircle> ConstantineXVI: I know I can do that... but it'll take me an hour to change every single entry... is there any way to do it with apt-config or something?
[00:40] <quiksilver> JohnPhys: this was before i tried installing the mass updates
[00:40] <quiksilver> squirt33_: i don't know, my system is pretty old
[00:40] <JohnPhys> quiksilver: something else might have been using it, just try it when synaptic is done, and close all other programs just to make sure
[00:40] <ConstantineXVI> the_squircle, it's called find/replace :)
[00:40] <codename> Hey
[00:40] <quiksilver> im pretty sure i need a creative blaster driver though for sound
[00:40] <__mikem> berot3, would you please not ctcp me
[00:41] <the_squircle> ConstantineXVI: using nano or vi or what?
[00:41] <Enverex> I just install Ubuntu onto a USB device, that had issues becayse it enabled composite by default, turned that off and it's at least viewable now, but al the icons from the gnome menu are missing
[00:41] <Scunizi> What's ctcp __mikem
[00:41] <__mikem> Scunizi, something you don't need to do to me
[00:41] <squirt33_> Quicksilver: Is your sound card on the list of them on this page?http://gerry.ws/2008/11/360/creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-driver-source-code-released.html
[00:41] <quiksilver> i am incredibly impressed by the power of ubuntu for web development
[00:42] <ConstantineXVI> the_squircle, editor of choice.  in vim, i think you use ":s/old/new/g"
[00:42] <Scunizi> __mikem: I wouldn't just curious what it is.. I don't like bothering people with needless stuff.
[00:42] <the_squircle> ConstantineXVI: Thanks!
[00:42] <gmm46> How do I make my linux scipt run in fullscreen automaticly?
[00:42] <LetsGo67> How do I mount a Kodak Easyshare C340 as a USB mass storage device (as opposed to camera)?  Vista supports both.
[00:43] <quiksilver> squirt33_: i dont think so
[00:43] <Scunizi> __mikem: another name for irc?..
[00:44] <__mikem> Scunizi, no, its something you do to get information about another user on IRC
[00:44] <rww> Scunizi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-To-Client_Protocol has a pretty good summary
[00:44] <Brack10> Hi
[00:44] <gmm46> hmm
[00:44] <quiksilver> is there a great book out there for understanding the architecture of linux?
[00:44] <quiksilver> im brand new to this and i want to investigate more
[00:44] <broly_> whats a good webcam program for ubuntu?
[00:45] <the_squircle> quiksilver: Linux for Dummies?
[00:45] <Scunizi> Thanks rww.. so it's used for pm, dcc..
[00:45] <j_nwb> hi, I installed ubuntu 8.10 using netinstall on my /dev/sdb2. When it asked me for loading grub, I told it to install it on /dev/sdb2 instead of changing my mbr. I usually do this.. and then go and update my grub file manually. I did that for Ubuntu, but its not booting.. telling ..Bad File descriptor... , I can mount the /dev/sdb2 to a /tmp/x and contents looks good.. any ideas ..
[00:45] <squirt33_> quiksilver: Try to find out what sound card you have, then we can find a driver for it.
[00:45] <the_squircle> j_nwb: re-install grub
[00:45] <Brack10> I'm trying to mount my extra hdd but it says "must specify filesystem type" so then when I do -t ext3 it says "CANNOT FIND EXT3 PARTITION"  I'm going "mount /dev/hda /extrahdd"
[00:46] <squirt33_> quiksilver: If you have to, reboot into Windows and find out that way.
[00:46] <gmm46> actually quiksilver i remember seeing Ubuntu Linux For Dummies online in the walmart catalog. i am sure you could find it somewhere online
[00:46] <j_nwb> the_squircle:  re-install grub where ? /dev/sdb2?
[00:46] <runderwo> j_nwb: So if I hear you correctly, you did not actually install grub in the MBR?
[00:46] <tsunami> are there known problems from migrating to ubuntu from kubuntu?
[00:46] <ConstantineXVI> tsunami, shouldnt be
[00:47] <Brack10> also why am I banned from #Debian?
[00:47] <runderwo> j_nwb: Also, is "Bad File descriptor" really the error you are getting?
[00:47] <Brack10> is it because I ask noob questions all the time?
[00:47] <gmm46> is there anyway to run a linux script in fullscreen automatically?
[00:47] <rww> Brack10: you'd need to ask them. We don't control #debian.
[00:47] <j_nwb> yes.. I do not do that for other oses... my MBR boots in to fedora.. I have other operating systems.. like suse...etc... I go and manully change the grub file in fedora installation to point to other installations.
[00:47] <runderwo> gmm46: A fullscreen terminal?
[00:47] <Brack10> rww: how can I do that when I'm banned?
[00:48] <j_nwb> mount their partitions.. and copy menu.lst snippet.
[00:48] <rww> Brack10: /msg chanserv access #debian list to get a list of operators, find one that's online, and ask them.
[00:48] <j_nwb> Irunderwo: I will reboot and get u the exact description.. in a min.
[00:48] <gmm46> ya when i run my script i want it to run in terminal but in fullscreen without me pressing F11
[00:48] <runderwo> j_nwb: So, you do get GRUB, and then when you select Ubuntu, it fails?
[00:48] <OneClickB> www.myspace.com/oneclickbeats   <- best producer online right now, Awesome music check it out
[00:48] <OneClickB> www.myspace.com/oneclickbeats   <- best producer online right now, Awesome music check it out

[00:48] <Ward1983_> i have this script in which i use ddclient, i want to make a cron job out of it but ddclient must be run with sudo
[00:48] <Ward1983_> so whats the best way to do this?
[00:49] <Brack10> ok let me re-ask this...How can I mount /dev/hda to a folder on my filesystem?
[00:49] <DasEi> Brack10:open a terinal..
[00:49] <netsurf3> has anyone actually been able to remove the popping etc from pulse audio in hardy?
[00:49] <runderwo> Brack10: /dev/hda is not likely to actually have a filesystem on it.  It should be /dev/hda1 or something like that.
[00:49] <Brack10> DasEi: done
[00:49] <MK13> hey, is there a way to take a driver (nvidia) off of a Mandriva install cd, for use with ubuntu or will it not work cause of the different distro?
[00:49] <Brack10> runderwo: fdisk -l tells me it's /dev/hda
[00:49] <DasEi> Brack10:sudo mkdir /mnt/mydisk
[00:49] <Enverex> I have no icons on my Applications, Places or System menu, anyone encountered that before?
[00:49] <j_nwb> runderwo: yes
[00:50] <runderwo> Ward1983_: sudo crontab -e should put it in root's crontab.
[00:50] <Rencx> I cant install Cinelerra cold i get some help here?
[00:50] <DasEi> Brack10:sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[00:50] <Ward1983_> runderwo, ah thanx man :)
[00:50] <Brack10> runderwo: fdisk -l oh wait nevermind you're right
[00:50] <j_nwb> The errors is "File Not found." (sorry.. it was bad file descriptor... few hrs back.)
[00:50] <Brack10> sorry I'm not used to bitchx
[00:50] <quiksilver> is there a way to see what kind of sound card i have?
[00:50] <DasEi> Brack10:correct device name ?
[00:50] <linuxman410> did you try the link Rencx
[00:50] <ConstantineXVI> Brack10, then why are you using it?
[00:50] <Rencx> yes
[00:51] <runderwo> j_nwb: Is it the kernel that is not found?
[00:51] <j_nwb> runderwo: yes. I tried putting root (hd1,1) but is not helping.
[00:51] <linuxman410> what does it do when you try to install
[00:51] <gmm46> hmm
[00:51] <Brack10> ok nevermind I found it, you were right it was /dev/hda1
[00:51] <DasEi> !who | brack10
[00:52] <Brack10> DasEi: several people were tying to help, sorry
[00:52] <linuxman410> what does it do when you try to install Rencx
[00:52] <quiksilver> how can i locate my sound card drivers?
[00:52] <quiksilver> i have no way of knowing what they are
[00:52] <runderwo> j_nwb: Do you have a separate /boot partition?
[00:52] <edenroz> hello,i have a sony viao vgn-cs11z, how can i use the touchbutton? (play/foward and sound control). am under ubuntu 8.10. sorry if i repeat again
[00:52] <Brack10> now I need to know how to use cp to copy a directory and all subdirectories to another location :P
[00:52] <DasEi> Brack10:filesystem of hda1 ?
[00:53] <j_nwb> runderwo: ok.. I tried to set root (hd1,1) and then use find from the grub command prompt.. thats when it gives me bad file or directory type.
[00:53] <gmm46> Brack10: use cp -r
[00:53] <runderwo> quiksilver: cat /proc/asound/cards
[00:53] <MK13> is there a way to download nvidia driver then install it? my internet connection breaks alot and I don't want it to break while installing it.
[00:53] <Rencx> linuxman410: from your lik it asks for key
[00:53] <Brack10> cp -r ok
[00:53] <gmm46> cp -r is for directories and just cp is for files
[00:53] <ConstantineXVI> MK13, no need to worry
[00:54] <Brack10> thanks everyone
[00:54] <quiksilver> runderwo you are awesome
[00:54] <MK13> why's that?
[00:54] <ConstantineXVI> MK13, it won't install till it's fully downloaded
[00:54] <quiksilver>  1 [Live           ]: EMU10K1X - Dell Sound Blaster Live!
[00:54] <quiksilver>                       Dell Sound Blaster Live! at 0xdda0 irq 17
[00:54] <runderwo> gmm46: gnome-terminal --full-screen appears to work.  You may file a bug so that the manual page includes this.
[00:54] <runderwo> quiksilver: yw :)
[00:54] <Brack10> so to copy all the subdirectories of the one I'm currently in: cp -r * /location ?
[00:55] <quiksilver> ruderwo: where do i get those now?
[00:55] <ConstantineXVI> MK13, and if your connection drops, it'll pick back up next time you try to install it
[00:55] <gmm46> yes
[00:55] <MK13> kk, that is what i needed to hear thnx.
[00:55] <Rencx> linuxman410: from your lik it asks for key
[00:55] <runderwo> quiksilver: They are included with the kernel and loaded.  If you are not hearing sound, maybe it is muted or volume is down.
[00:55] <MK13> i have had a bad experience trying to do it before, it wouldn't resume
[00:55] <quiksilver> oh wow
[00:55] <runderwo> j_nwb: So /boot is inside /dev/sdb2 and not on a separate partition?
[00:56] <Brack10> is it possible to get cp to show some kind of information like an ETA?
[00:56] <j_nwb> runderwo:yes
[00:57] <gmm46> Brack10: if you type info cp it will show you the info on the cp command
[00:57] <Appl3Kork> is there a command to stop the X Server?
[00:57] <quiksilver> runderwo: check private messages please
[00:57] <edenroz> hello, when i use acpi_listen for hit super+F5 it say: ^[[15~ whicj combination i have to put in event=sony/hotkey SNC???
[00:57] <ConstantineXVI> Appl3Kork, as in to restart it?
[00:58] <gmm46> yes Appl3Kork try killall xserv
[00:58] <squirt33_> is there a gtk theming channel around?
[00:58] <Appl3Kork> well like i'm tryin to install a driver, and when i load up the driver it says that i'm running xserv
[00:59] <Appl3Kork> tried that gmm46 but it says xserv: no process killed
[00:59] <ConstantineXVI> Appl3Kork, try sudo killall
[00:59] <the_squircle> Does anybody know how to make apt compatible with RSync?
[00:59] <DVA5912> Any software out that will gps based on the NEMA out on my phone?
[01:00] <runderwo> j_nwb: What happens when you try to use tab completion to find the kernel when you're in the grub loader?
[01:00] <Appl3Kork> Constantine I've tried bout hwith and without sudo
[01:00] <Rencx> Do anyone can help me install cinelerra??
[01:01] <bittin> Rencx: sudo apt-get install cinelerra
[01:01] <Rencx> bittin E: Broken packages
[01:01] <bittin> :<
[01:02] <bittin> check if u added the stuff in synaptic
[01:02] <Rencx> i did
[01:02] <gmm46>  Rencx: use sudo apt-get update
[01:02] <whoDat> how do i find out what module handling a particular device in /dev ?
[01:02] <darth_grantius> daedalusx64 beta 2 released soon
[01:02] <the-wes> hello all. I am having an issue with pulseaudio hanging hard when I try to get it to point to bluetooth. is there a room more focused on that sort of issue?
[01:02] <ludmilmm> hi. ubuntu 8.10 + nvidia (propr drivers). the nvidia config tool does not list my monitor's 1680x1050 mode, but only 1600x1024 and 1600x1200. i found 2 threads on ubuntu forums, but non of the suggestions there helped. any idea how to enable 1680x1050 mode?
[01:02] <gmm46> Rencx: then try sudo apt-get install cinelerra
[01:02] <Bi_Bottom_Taipe> hi
[01:02] <the-wes> I also have strace output if anyone is interested.
[01:02] <bittin> hi
[01:03] <Rencx> gmm46 dont work the same
[01:03] <gmm46> hmm
[01:03] <runderwo> whoDat: Try /proc/devices and ls -l to see the major and minor of the one you're interested in.
[01:03] <mx-tvt> hey... Is ext4 supposed to be slower or faster than ntfs (under windows). I am copying the same files from my home partition to an ext4 parition in an external drive, and from windows to another ntfs parition on the same external drive. Windows seems to copy files at 14mb/s while ext4 in lnux goes between 5-9
[01:03] <Rencx> gmm46 maybe i have add wrong stuff in synaptic
[01:03] <whoDat> runder: thanks man
[01:03] <j_nwb> runderwo: When I try file completion.. it is trying to get to my fedora partition ... as root is set to (hd0,0)
[01:04] <runderwo> j_nwb: :-)  Something's wrong there.
[01:04] <afroken> hi, how do i update from the command line ?
[01:04] <j_nwb> runderwo: The ubuntu is using uuid to set root
[01:04] <MK13> how good is the JFS filing system?
[01:04] <Knysliux001> afroken: sudo apt-get update
[01:04] <whoDat> runder: it looks like lshw gave me what i needed too
[01:04] <Jorophose> Hi, I'm trying to help a friend install ubuntu, but for some reason GRUB won't install, and when it does, it won't allow her to boot. It just says that there's no operating system (or something along those lines)
[01:04] <Knysliux001> afroken: sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:05] <Jorophose> Any idea on what to do? I tried installing grub manually, but it won't find the OS.
[01:05] <j_nwb> runderwo: And there is no root directive... so it is not finding it.
[01:05] <runderwo> j_nwb: That is okay when it comes to the kernel.  When it comes to grub, it needs to know the BIOS disk and partition number.
[01:05] <grayson> Hi all.
[01:05] <runderwo> j_nwb: that's why grub uses the (hdX,Y) stuff.
[01:05] <j_nwb> runderwo: I added root (hd1,1)
[01:05] <afroken> Knysliux001, upgrade -will download the latest versions of the software i'm running plus security updates?
[01:05] <Knysliux001> afroken: exactly
[01:06] <afroken> Knysliux001, thanks
[01:06] <Knysliux001> afroken: and not only download, it will install them
[01:06] <Rencx> Do anyone can help me install cinelerra??
[01:06] <runderwo> afroken: Unless the newer version of the software requires a new package that it didn't require before.  In that case, you'd have to use dist-upgrade.
[01:06] <grayson> aptoncd refuses to find more than 3 packages?? Where iare the packages please I will have to save them manually. thank you
[01:06] <moldy_> hi
[01:06] <LetsGo67> How do I mount a Kodak Easyshare C340 as a USB mass storage device (as opposed to camera)?  Vista supports both.  PM please.
[01:06] <moldy_> what package should i install to get the nvidia driver?
[01:06] <afroken> runderwo, will apt tell me i need to use that?
[01:06] <runderwo> Jorophose: What kind of computer is it?
[01:07] <Rencx> how can i install this file??? cinelerra-4-ubuntu-i686.tar.bz2
[01:07] <grayson> moldy, depends on your card
[01:07] <runderwo> afroken: If you see packages "held back", then that tells you that dist-upgrade is required to be fully up-to-date.
[01:07] <TheFunkbomb> So, what's the next step?  I have a pretty good feel of Ubuntu now but feel stupid having a swiss army knife of OSes and only using the tweezers
[01:07] <j_nwb> runderwo: And it gives Bad File or directory type
[01:07] <afroken> runderwo, thanks
[01:07] <TheFunkbomb> pretty good metaphor, right?
[01:07] <moldy> grayson: i cannot check which card right now... what is the general recommendation?
[01:08] <Brack10> I have 18 gigs of music, thousands of files to copy, is it faster to tar, copy and extract, or just copy the files?
[01:08] <Rencx> Do anyone can help me install cinelerra?? I need step by step because of erors..
[01:08] <runderwo> Brack10: Just copy them, unless it's over a slow link.
[01:08] <moldy> grayson: i ran aptitude search nvidia, but i am confused now. what is the correct version to install?
[01:08] <j_nwb> I tried file completion with (hd0,0)/  ... it works .. with (hd1,1), it does not!! But if I boot in fedora, I can mount /dev/sd2 and see the contents.!!!
[01:08] <gnubuntu> Rencx: What is your problem?
[01:08] <Brack10> rimderwo:  No, it's 2 IDE hdds
[01:08] <Rencx> gnubuntu cant instal video editing soft
[01:09] <runderwo> j_nwb: Is it possibly switching the two disks on you?
[01:09] <Knysliux001> gnubuntu: for some reason cinelerra is not in repositories anymore
[01:09] <gnubuntu> Knysliux001: ah really? i had install it in hardy and had no problems
[01:09] <Rencx> gnubuntu is drops eror mesage  E: Broken packages
[01:09] <Jorophose> runderwo: Intel Core 2 Duo, built by HP
[01:10] <runderwo> Jorophose: Laptop?
[01:10] <Knysliux001> interpid can't find it
[01:10] <Knysliux001> *intrepid
[01:10] <grayson> moldy, system, preferences, appearance check the level you want the choice should be found for you "Recommended"
[01:10] <j_nwb> runderwo : how do I know if that is the case ? (though I do not personally think..)
[01:10] <runderwo> Jorophose: What error does grub give you?
[01:10] <moldy> grayson: i don't have a gui
[01:10] <treats> I want to reinstall as much as possible in ubuntu without reformatting, what should i do
[01:10] <moldy> grayson: i need to setup a chroot environment for an ltsp client to which i currently have no access
[01:11] <kyrmne> hi
[01:11] <Comet> can anyone tell me what the actual command is for the gnome terminal server client?
[01:11] <grayson> moldy, sorry I am only good with gui :(
[01:11] <moldy> grayson: ok. thanks anyway :)
[01:11] <runderwo> j_nwb: Well, check the BIOS and see which drive is which according to it.  Sometimes grub is set up to monkey with that (usually to deal with windows) which would mislead you into thinking /dev/sdb is the second disk, in that case.
[01:11] <gnubuntu> Rencx: Sorry. i cant help you with that.
[01:12] <Rencx> gnubuntu can you help me with input sound?
[01:12] <Jorophose> runderwo: it just says it failed to find (but I believe this is the BIOS) or load the OS
[01:12] <linuxman410> Rencx just extract file to folder and run it i just did and it works fine
[01:12] <TheFunkbomb> Damn.  Ubuntu is already releasing 9.04?
[01:12] <runderwo> Jorophose: What error does grub give you when you try to install it?
[01:12] <Mr_Bunny_> How do I see what driver xorg is using?
[01:12] <rww> TheFunkbomb: not until April...
[01:12] <j_nwb> runderwo: I just checked I have an old fedora installation on (hd1,4) and grub is correctly finding it..!!!
[01:13] <badfish69> Knysliux001, it's probably in a respository you haven't added
[01:13] <Rencx> linuxman410 but there are not any setup file
[01:13] <TheFunkbomb> rww, I just installed 8.10!
[01:13] <Jorophose> She installed grub when I wasn't there, it seems grub installed fine when it was done manually.
[01:13] <rww> TheFunkbomb: Ubuntu releases every six months. 8.10 will be supported until April 2010.
[01:13] <Knysliux001> badfish69: yes, I see in their site that i have to add one. Thank's
[01:13] <badfish69> np
[01:13] <TheFunkbomb> rww, well, I'll have to upgrade
[01:14] <grayson> gone digging, chow
[01:14] <runderwo> j_nwb: Makes no sense to me.  grub could swap the drives but it can't mix up partitions.
[01:14] <HustlinTomTurkey> hi, I'm using the live cd right now and I'm trying to install it onto a partition I made earlier
[01:14] <gmm46> i gtg
[01:14] <gmm46> bye
[01:14] <gnubuntu> Rencx: i have this link for you: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu
[01:14] <j_nwb> runderwo: May be I will try once more .. (tried it few times).. and not install grub this time.
[01:14] <HustlinTomTurkey> I'm at step 4 where it says 'prepare partitions', and there's nothing there
[01:14] <Rencx> yes
[01:14] <Jorophose> http://i40.tinypic.com/27zvt6t.png
[01:15] <runderwo> Jorophose: How did you partition the drive?
[01:15] <quiksilver> how do i see what django is pointing to?
[01:15] <quiksilver> on my system
[01:15] <linuxman410> just execute cinelerra that file got into folder double click it and program will run
[01:15] <Jorophose> the "entire disk" option
[01:15] <linuxman410> Rencx
[01:15] <Rencx> gnubuntu when i put stuff in snapic it ask for some key
[01:15] <runderwo> Jorophose: I have no idea what the problem is.
[01:15] <gnubuntu> Rencx: just accepted the keys. should ok
[01:16] <quiksilver> any idea?
[01:16] <gnubuntu> Rencx: or get the keys from the site
[01:16] <Jorophose> Where could we pick a failure point at? Is it during grub's installation, or is it because we might be missing swap? Could the BIOS itself cause the problem?
[01:16] <DVA5912> how do i install google earth?
[01:16] <DVA5912> am i able too?

[01:17] <Rencx> gnubuntu i will se now
[01:17] <runderwo> Jorophose: The only thing I can see interfering is some lame BIOS antivirus.
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> DVA5912, Add medibuntu. it is in there
[01:17] <rww> DVA5912: add the medibuntu repository and install it from there
[01:17] <rww> !medibuntu | DVA5912
[01:17] <gnubuntu> Rencx: good luck.
[01:17] <badfish69> DVA5912, it's in the repositories
[01:17] <runderwo> misteralexander: ls -l > output.txt ?
[01:17] <TheFunkbomb> so, if I wanted to build a good Ubuntu machine, is there a guide?
[01:17] <unop> misteralexander,  what's this for?
[01:17] <afton> where is the grub.conf file located in ubuntu?
[01:17] <runderwo> misteralexander: If you need to pick fields out of it, use awk.
[01:18] <seraphin_> hey
[01:18] <misteralexander> Lots of great ideas, is there a web resource I can look up to learn more about this?
[01:18] <bazhang> !rute
[01:18] <Knysliux001> afton: there is no grub.conf in my system
[01:18] <Jorophose> runderwo: It's a phoenix bios... and although it might have been sensationalism, I heard about them having problems with linux... do you think it could be that?
[01:18] <runderwo> misteralexander: Anything on log processing with awk should help.
[01:19] <gnubuntu> afton: /boot/grub
[01:19] <SuperDefenderX> Hey, if I wanted to write "Ubuntu" in binary code on my forehead, how would I do it?
[01:19] <unop> misteralexander,  http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide
[01:19] <misteralexander> runderwo: thanks!
[01:19] <bazhang> !ot | SuperDefenderX
[01:19] <SuperDefenderX> I mean, I know I would use a pen or something.
[01:19] <rww> SuperDefenderX:<PHONE_NUMBER>10001001110101011011100111010001110101
[01:19] <SuperDefenderX> Thanks.
[01:20] <unop> is that big or small endian ? :)
[01:20] <afton> ok. I'm trying to get my computer to boot up with the plymouth graphical boot loader.  I have it installed, but I'm not sure how to ... enable it.
[01:20] <Rencx> it wrorks now with 2 metods :)
[01:20] <gnubuntu> Rencx: nice to hear that
[01:20] <Rencx> gnubuntu can you help me also with input sound?
[01:21] <gnubuntu> Rencx: just ask your real question. i will see
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> TheFunkbomb: what do you mean a good guide.. what i've done in the past, is i get a list of things i'd like to use, then use Google and the part name and "Ubuntu", and see if i get hits on problems w/ that devie... Its never let me down
[01:21] <seraphin_> i have a problem with ubuntu sound shortcuts and Fn keys on my laptop. the keys are recognised as XF86AudioLowerVolume and simillar and simillar, the icon is appearing on the desktop, but the sound is not getting louder/quiet/muted. alsa 1.0.18, snd-hda-intel
[01:21] <runderwo> Jorophose: Have you looked for any kind of antivirus or MBR protection in the BIOS?
[01:21] <Jorophose> runderwo: I will right now
[01:21] <TheFunkbomb> IndyGunFreak, I mean something beyond compatibility lists.
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> TheFunkbomb: like...?
[01:22] <Rencx> gnubuntu I need fix sound for skype and also when i record on Audacity it is very low..
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> TheFunkbomb: like a build how-to?
[01:22] <TheFunkbomb> IndyGunFreak, yeah something like that
[01:22] <TheFunkbomb> IndyGunFreak, like recommended hardware
[01:22] <Comet> does anyone know what the command for the gnome terminal server client is?
[01:23] <gerob> I just installed ubuntu 8.10, should I install all of the available updates?
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> TheFunkbomb: well, i don't know about recommended hardware for a linux machine, you might find one.. but usually MaximumPC, builds a computer each issue...  if you're wondering about the build process
[01:23] <gnubuntu> Rencx: ah ok.  i had this problems too with hardy. i had fix it now. do you have ubuntu 8.10?
[01:23] <Rencx> yes
[01:23] <unop> Comet, tsclient perhaps?
[01:24] <DaveW> gerob, yes you should
[01:24] <TheFunkbomb> IndyGunFreak, I can build a Windows based computer.  I guess I should just do that and do your thing of googling each part.  I'm wondering if Ubuntu would support Intel's new i7 processor and stuff like that
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> TheFunkbomb: just remember.. motherboards- Asus/MSI, Harddrives- WD/Seagate, Optical Drives- Lite ON, GPU- Nvidia.. and you'll probably be OK
[01:24] <Rencx> gnubuntu: can we talk in private chat?
[01:24] <Comet> unop: thanks :D
[01:24] <DaveW> comet, have you tried tsclient?
[01:24] <TheFunkbomb> Does anyone run Ubuntu on a quadcore?
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> TheFunkbomb: well, yeah, you're not gonna find a guide to building a pc specifically for linux(at least i don't think so)
[01:24] <badfish69> gerob, it would do you well to install all of the updates
[01:25] <gnubuntu> Rencx: sorry. but i have to go sleep now. just search your problems in ubuntuforums.com
[01:25] <TheFunkbomb> IndyGunFreak, I might do it and document my results.  It could be an untapped area where a new guy could help the process
[01:25] <Comet> DaveW: yea, no luck.. but i noticed it is an actual program
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> TheFunkbomb: eh, ubuntu's hardware recognition is pretty solid, so really you're probably not gonna have many hardware issues, unless you buy really odd, or really new hardware
[01:26] <Rencx>  I need fix sound for skype and also when i record on Audacity it is very low..
[01:26] <TheFunkbomb> Okay
[01:26] <Comet> i'm asking in the wrong place, but i'm using freebsd.. i know ubuntu comes with the terminal server by default, so i figured someone would have a quick answer.. i compiled gnome and wasnt sure if it comes with it by default
[01:27] <TheFunkbomb> Rencx, double click on the speaker and go to preferences
[01:27] <Rencx> TheFunkbomb ty :)
[01:27] <gerob> I am also wondering how I get my video card working?  I am running 2 geforce 8600 GT in SLI mode on a 20.5" LG with a native resolution of 1680x1050.  How do I get all that working? Video card and Monitor support?
[01:27] <DaveW> comet, it sounds like youre not sure if its installed then? if so, try installing/reinstalling
[01:27] <TheFunkbomb> Rencx, no problem.  There are a lot of playback and recording features in there
[01:28] <Comet> DaveW: well if i knew the command, then i could search the HD to see if its installed..
[01:28] <Rencx> TheFunkbomb do you also now how to set skype devices?
[01:28] <Yokatai> hello
[01:28] <Comet> but i dont, so i'm compiling some program called tsclient now
[01:28] <quiksilver> (05:28:15 PM) quiksilver: how do i see what all my directories are pointing to
[01:28] <quiksilver> (05:28:20 PM) quiksilver: symbolic
[01:28] <docmur> I just compiled the kernel from source but when I install the ati drive from the ati site and add fglrx into xorg.conf my screen doesn't work it kicks into gdm but then all that happens it white artifacts and it restarts and putting ati for the device driver in xorg.conf doesn't work because the ati drier doesn't exist.  All I can use it vesa

[01:30] <BobDolet> in the users directory
[01:30] <Yokatai> bonne appetie
[01:30] <hansel> BobDolet - you can do it a few ways... set the group ownership of /home to SOMEGROUP and recursively give it read perms.      Or you can chmod o+r /home/ recursively...
[01:31] <badfish69> i replaced my sound card and video card at the same time and just did a fresh install of ubuntu

[01:31] <badfish69> this is english
[01:31] <BobDolet> is it possible to add www-data to some general user group

[01:34] <hansel> !ask
[01:34] <TheFunkbomb> Here is a question.  I'm running 8.10.  When 9.04 gets released, will I have to do a fresh install or will I be able to update?
[01:34] <hansel> TheFunkbomb you can just update.
[01:34] <TheFunkbomb> hansel, does it update like all of the other updates with the little red down arrow?
[01:34] <JoshPilcer> well I installed ubuntu on my hp pavilion dv6000 and i need to get wifi. I'm not sure how to turn on the wifi.
[01:34] <rww> TheFunkbomb: You can just update. The GUI Update Manager will prompt you about it.
[01:35] <TheFunkbomb> rww cool, thanks
[01:35] <hansel> System - Administration - Software Sources - under the Updates tab you can select the release types you want in the bottom...
[01:35] <runderwo> j_nwb: Right, give it the correct root, and then chainloader +1.
[01:35] <hansel> TheFunkbomb - I think by default it only gets long term support releases...
[01:35] <roroo> thank u i jouin the ubutnu-cn
[01:35] <j_nwb> runderwo: oh! let me try that.
[01:35] <JoshPilcer> well I installed ubuntu on my hp pavilion dv6000 and i need to get wifi. I'm not sure how to turn on the wifi.
[01:35] <TheFunkbomb> JoshPilcer, I had the same issue.  Try plugging in with a ethernet cable and typing this in terminal "sudo get-apt update"
[01:36] <hansel> get-apt?
[01:36] <JoshPilcer> i have no plug though
[01:36] <TheFunkbomb> err
[01:36] <utopiauca> ist
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> JoshPilcer, Please hold down the repeating, every few minutes is enough
[01:36] <TheFunkbomb> scratch that
[01:36] <utopiauca> list
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> utopiauca, We dont serve files
[01:36] <JoshPilcer> i'm trying to connect to a wifi "my neighbors"
[01:36] <JoshPilcer> and i'm not sure how
[01:36] <_slax_> lol this isnt a warez channel utopiauca
[01:36] <badfish69> lol
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> JoshPilcer, Please hold down the repeating, every few minutes is enough. Tell us what wifi card, what version of ubuntu and have patience
[01:37] <hansel> JoshPilcer sudo iwconfig         do you have a wireless interface that is enabled?
[01:37] <TheFunkbomb> now I'm trying to remember the command I used
[01:37] <TheFunkbomb> :(
[01:38] <JoshPilcer> it says "lo no wireless extensions.    eth0 no wireless extensions."
[01:38] <JoshPilcer> but my computer has built in wifi
[01:38] <Dalila_> i've just installed ubuntu 8.10, it's cool
[01:38] <TheFunkbomb> what wireless card do you have JoshPilcer ?
[01:38] <JoshPilcer> how do i check that?
[01:38] <hansel> JoshPilcer - well maybe you need to toggle it on.  Is there a button on the front of your laptop that you can slide back and forth?
[01:38] <hansel> JoshPilcer - sudo lshw -C network
[01:38] <JoshPilcer> ya, it's on hansel
[01:38] <j_nwb> runderwo: Brilliant!!! it worked!!!! I should change the scheme to use this all the time. Thanks
[01:38] <TheFunkbomb> I think the command is lshw -c network
[01:38] <disappearedng_> Hey everyone
[01:39] <JoshPilcer> umm
[01:39] <runderwo> j_nwb: great!
[01:39] <JoshPilcer> it says a bunch of stuff
[01:39] <hansel> JoshPilcer - you can also          sudo lspci          and see if there is a wireless card detected.  It's possible the wireless driver just doesnt work.  Depending on the card there are a few ways to get it up and running easily.
[01:39] <j_nwb> runderwo: now it is not finding ubuntu-server package! is there a way to look for it in apt-get (similar to yum list or yum search)
[01:39] <MK13> how do you set a broadcom 43xx card to master mode?
[01:39] <slashzul> how can u tell if the magazine version of 8.04 ubuntu is the same as 8.04 LTS ?

[01:40] <sceo> I'm trying to install pidgin-facebookchat from a .deb but in the .deb the prefix is wrong; is there a way to install a .deb with a different prefix?
[01:40] <runderwo> j_nwb: What exactly isn't finding ubuntu-server?
[01:41] <sceo> (that is, it's installing to /usr/ instead of /usr/local)
[01:41] <b_> Does VLC record video streams?
[01:41] <kindnation> Is there a way to get Desktop Effects working while running Ubuntu in VMWare?
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> slashzul, Please see the  link for md5
[01:41] <j_nwb> runderwo: apt-get install ubuntu-server
[01:41] <DasEi> b_:no
[01:41] <runderwo> j_nwb: I don't know of that package.

[01:42] <bazhang> kindnation, no
[01:42] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:42] <linux_newbie> runderwo: how do I do that ?
[01:42] <jorgerosa> hi
[01:42] <DasEi> b_:what kind of stream you want to record ?
[01:43] <kindnation> bazhang: thanks.
[01:43] <runderwo> sceo: You can't usually change the paths since they are compiled in at compile time.
[01:43] <runderwo> linux_newbie: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:43] <b_> DasEi: It's from a dreambox which is a linux based DVB
[01:43] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Scroll to the end and see what error is shutting it down.
[01:44] <TheFunkbomb> What does "Tracker Search Tool" do?
[01:44] <DasEi> b_:there are solutions to use pc as a videarecorder and you can have addons in browser to record flash

[01:44] <JoshPilcer> this is what i got

[01:44] <jorgerosa> would anyone make/share some photos for a (free download in PDF) ubuntu magazine? (African themes and other stuff, e.g. an user with a joystick in his hand, etc, etc), all the credits will be published, also a link in our site, etc. Thanks in advance
[01:44] <j_nwb> ubottu: I wanted to install ubuntu server amd64 8.10 .. ran into some weired problem via installation from CD, so tried netboot using minimal cd, as suggested here in this forum.. now I want to get the installation similar to ubuntu server amd64 8.10 .. so what packages need to be installed... (from my understanding.. I have core / base system installed)
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jorgerosa, Please dont ask in here
[01:45] <BobDolet> hansel, if i want www-data to ls a users directory what permissions do i need
[01:45] <TheFunkbomb> JoshPilcer, h, you have a Broadcom BCM94311MCG
[01:45] <JoshPilcer> what should i do then?
[01:45] <hansel> BobDolet - o+r and anybody can.   man chmod and look for -R recursive option and realize what this will do...
[01:45] <disappearedng_> Hey after I did this sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r) where do I find my kernel source files?
[01:46] <TheFunkbomb> JoshPilcer, I would google "BCM94311MCG +Ubuntu"
[01:46] <hansel> BobDolet - also you can give www-data perms in sudoers file with the NOPASSWD option for ls command ONLY.
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !bcm43xx
[01:46] <hansel> JoshPilcer - I have an easy how-to... lemme dig up the link...
[01:46] <disappearedng_> I followed this documentation

[01:46] <jorgerosa> Jack_Sparrow:  ok, sorry

[01:47] <linux_newbie> runderwo: the list is very long I have no idea where to look for the error
[01:47] <hansel> BobDolet - . is just the current directory... hopefully you are in /home.  Also you will need to sudo for that.
[01:47] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:why do you do that if you're very new to linux ??
[01:48] <dano_> hey all, I'm confused how to modify my X settings, I currently have intrepid ibex, and when i nano my xorg.conf file, I don't even see a driver being loaded, does X work differently now.

[01:48] <BobDolet> hansel, yes debian:/home# chmod o+r propub -R
[01:48] <BobDolet> propub is the user
[01:48] <sceo> hansel; thanks, but that didn't do it -- again, it didn't install to the correct path.  the deb when I view it extracts/installs files to /usr/lib/purple-2 -- but it needs to extract all to /usr/local/lib/purple-2 for pidgin to pick it up... is there a way to reconfigure a .deb or will I have to install from source?
[01:48] <disappearedng_> DasEi 1) I am not very new, 2) I need to recompile with CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE=y so that I can access my FFS systems

[01:49] <hansel> dano_ then modprobe -r that intel_agp one to remove it   and modprobe i915  to load the i915 one
[01:50] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:ok then, thought so because of your request for partis
[01:50] <arooni-mobile> is there a way of getting latest open office on ubuntu hardy?  i believe there is 2.6 and hardy only has 2.4
[01:50] <dano_> hansel, ok, is there anyway to tell it to use that one everytime
[01:50] <hansel> dano - realize you will need to cycle X
[01:50] <disappearedng_> yeah
[01:50] <BobDolet> hansel, nm im retarded
[01:50] <disappearedng_> DasEi well when I recompiled my kernel in FreeBSD, there's a config file for me to pick options from
[01:50] <Jorophose> There was nothing on protection or about the MBR or antivirus or something similar.
[01:50] <disappearedng_> when I read the documentation it didn't say much, it just says it's located in debian/config/ARCH/
[01:51] <j_nwb> is there anyway to find what packages are installed on a ubuntu server 8.10 ? or after doing minimal install how to get to Ubuntu server 8.10 state.
[01:51] <runderwo> Jorophose: Strange.  It usually installs without a problem when you do a whole disk install.
[01:51] <bzaks> When trying to run split, I say this: "split --line-bytes=8G foo-backup.tar.gz foo-backup_" however its giving me 'invalid number of byes' ---- what should I change about my command line?
[01:51] <Jorophose> runderwo: Very strange. Do you think there's a Jmicron controller or another problematic controller like that in there?
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Out of Date? !latest: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.
[01:51] <j_nwb> can some one please confirm, that Ubuntu server 8.10 by default is character only.. and does not install X.
[01:51] <runderwo> arooni-mobile: Perhaps in backports.
[01:51] <disappearedng_> DasEi Oh nvm
[01:52] <bzaks> j_nwb - that is confirmed
[01:52] <arooni-mobile> runderwo, how do i check
[01:52] <j_nwb> tx.
[01:52] <runderwo> Jorophose: The only way to know would be to go to a terminal while installing and lspci.
[01:52] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6523/
[01:52] <runderwo> Jorophose: But I can't see how everything else would install correctly and only writing to the MBR would be a problem.
[01:53] <runderwo> arooni-mobile: You'd have to search the backports repository for hardy and see.
[01:53] <j_nwb> bzaks: would u know what packages constitute ubuntu server 8.10 ?
[01:53] <arooni-mobile> runderwo, how do i do that;  do i need it enabled in sources.list
[01:53] <tsunami> I want to "reformat" my ubuntu box but i don't have a cd player and my usb boot disks don't work.  It is running ubuntu now, what is the best way to achieve this?
[01:53] <Jorophose> runderwo: should I double-check and make sure the entire system installed correctly? the machine is no longer here, but I can get the friend to check it.
[01:53] <MK131> is there a way to delete an mbr on a flash drive that isn't needed anymore?
[01:53] <runderwo> arooni-mobile: Yes, you would need it enabled.
[01:53] <jorvis> how do you list the files installed by a package?
[01:53] <Rencx> why my skype sound is only in pne side?
[01:54] <barbarella> MK131:yes
[01:54] <bzaks> j_nwb - that's a HUGE amount of packages that I can't guaranty... may I suggest downloading virtual box and just running dpkg on a vm of server 8.10?
[01:54] <ldlework> Ubuntu rocks!
[01:54] <gerob> !nvidia | gerob
[01:54] <j_nwb> k tx.
[01:54] <MK131> how would I go about deleting the MBR?
[01:54] <hansel> fdisk mbr
[01:55] <hansel> !mbr
[01:55] <nkei0> Anyone here have any experience with installing that acer hotkeys thing?
[01:55] <runderwo> Jorophose: That would be a good place to start.
[01:55] <DasEi>  MK131:you could use fdisk or dd, see man for the cmd's
[01:55] <runderwo> Jorophose: You could also try going to the terminal and grub-install hd0, and see what the matter is.
[01:55] <n8tuser> MK131 usage of dd also
[01:55] <jorvis> help. how do you list the files in a package installed by a apt-get?
[01:55] <Jorophose> runderwo: what about recovery partitions? and I don't want to send them through a "check-every-file-manually" (or even with a script...) ascapade; what key files should we look for?
[01:55] <runderwo> !backports | arooni-mobile
[01:56] <runderwo> jorvis: dpkg -S <package>
[01:56] <MK131> kk, thnx
[01:56] <runderwo> jorvis: or dpkg -L <package> for the file list
[01:56] <bzaks> When trying to run split, I say this: "split --line-bytes=8G foo-backup.tar.gz foo-backup_" however its giving me 'invalid number of byes' ---- what should I change about my command line?
[01:56] <a> I'm considering making my workstation the firewall. mail server, and webserver for our small lan. Is this a bad idea?
[01:56] <dorgan> so I am planning on making a linux appliance...I have the "appliance" part but now I am trying to figure out the CF card stuff
[01:57] <dorgan> a: yes thats a bad idea
[01:57] <runderwo> a: Shouldn't be a problem.
[01:57] <MK131> i have an acer, what buttons aren't working?
[01:57] <runderwo> a: But you have to pay attention to security.
[01:57] <jorvis> thanks runderwo
[01:57] <nkei0> Anyone want to help me turn my wireless radio back on and keep it on?  I've tried all sorts of things and it works, but then some random file gets updated and my wifi killswitch no longer works.
[01:57] <josephnexus> hi there
[01:57] <dorgan> when you want to use a CF card as a hard drive for an appliance what are some consideration i should consider when looking for CF Cards
[01:57] <ludmilmm> hi. ubuntu 8.10. how do i change the Xorg log level, so i have more detailed information in the X log?
[01:58] <Gerinych> im trying to change grub2's background following this tutorial: http://blogs.koolwal.net/2008/12/16/how-to-grub2-and-grub-pc-installing-splash-images/, but when I type update-grub, it doesn't say that it found Debian background, like in the tutorial
[01:58] <josephnexus> i've got an interesting issue
[01:58] <josephnexus> i was using my laptop
[01:58] <josephnexus> went to dual monitor
[01:58] <josephnexus> and it all worked great during the presentation
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter
[01:58] <exodus_ms> !enter josephnexus
[01:59] <jorvis> anyone know a command-line way to convert 4 jpg images to a 4-page PDF?
[01:59] <daniel24> hello
[01:59] <disappearedng_> DasEi: Where do I find   debian/config/i386/ then ?
[01:59] <josephnexus> (I used the ati control center to do so) now whenever I reboot it defaults to dual screen, and I have to go in and change my resolution and then back again and it goes to my one screen
[01:59] <tsunami> there must be a command line way to reinstall ubuntu... hopefully sacrificing all my data.  any ideas?
[01:59] <daniel24> hi
[01:59] <josephnexus> anyone have any ideas how I can resolve that (thanks for the enter reminder... I get a little carried away)
[01:59] <__jaschon__> i'm getting a "Could not open location" error when i open a link in the Places menu
[01:59] <josephnexus> tsunami... what exactly are you trying to do?
[02:00] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:no idea, but you can read ffs , nor ? try from live cd
[02:00] <gerob> Does anyone here have experience installing a GeForce 8600 GT?  I have read the tutorials but need some clarification.
[02:00] <runderwo> !clone |tsunami
[02:00] <barbarella> jorvis:you can use a pdf printer
[02:00] <a> doran, why do you say it is a bad idea?
[02:00] <disappearedng_> DasEi I can read but not write
[02:00] <daniel24> im using chat zilla
[02:00] <tsunami> josephnexus: boxee won't work and I blame it on my transition from kubuntu to ubuntu.  I can't use a cd to reinstall and booting off flash doesnt work for me.  I want boxee
[02:00] <disappearedng_> it's on http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_mount_FFS_partition_under_Linux
[02:00] <nkei0> How about this one?  I am on an acer aspire 1680 running 8.10, however the only way I can boot and do anything is to add acpi=off in the menu.lst.  The only problem with that is that my wifi killswitch has something to do with an acpi event and it stops working all the time...
[02:00] <disappearedng_> it's actually pretty annoying
[02:00] <dorgan> a: well think of it this way would you use your workstation as a dev station?
[02:01] <tanjir> can any one tell what is the minimum memory requirement for ubuntu 8.10?
[02:01] <jorvis> barbarella: got it with imagemagick - thanks
[02:01] <josephnexus> and u are trying to do so while preserving all o fyour information?
[02:01] <dorgan> **i mean firewall as a dev station
[02:01] <gerob> Does anyone here have experience installing a GeForce 8600 GT?  I have read the tutorials but need some clarification.
[02:01] <dorgan> a:  a workstation is a place to test/try things a firewall is an important thing on the network
[02:01] <daniel24> 64 MB of system memory (RAM)
[02:01] <josephnexus> gerob: what version of ubuntu?  usually you can just use jockey
[02:02] <MK131> josephnexus: when you change it back from dual screen, do you have two screens attached?
[02:02] <josephnexus> no
[02:02] <gerob> jospehnexus: 8.10
[02:02] <dano_> hey all, im trying to get compiz to work, and I think it's because X is not using the right driver.  lsmod |grep agp says agpgart                42184  3 drm,intel_agp.  But whenever I try to rmmod intel_agp it fails, even when I log out of X and go straight from the console.  Any ideas?
[02:02] <josephnexus> i only have one monitor... this was just for a demonstration
[02:02] <tanjir> daniel24:  thanks.
[02:02] <gerob> jospehnexus: what is jockey?
[02:02] <firebird619> I just got a new Creative Labs sound card that has the breakout box with remote control. I installed gnome-lirc-properties, which has my remote listed, but not the receiver. Could someone help me get this working?
[02:02] <josephnexus> gerob: if you have the card installed, go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[02:02] <dorgan> when you want to use a CF card as a hard drive for an appliance what are some consideration i should consider when looking for CF Cards
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu
[02:03] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:you could mount it ?
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> tanjir, See above
[02:03] <dorgan> !Xubuntu
[02:03] <runderwo> dano_: Why are you trying to rmmod intel_agp ?
[02:03] <disappearedng_> yeah
[02:03] <distinctblur>  I
[02:03] <a> doran and runderwo, thanks for your imput.
[02:04] <dano_> runderwo, because I have an intel i915gm card.  I don't care which driver Im using I want to use the best one so I can get compiz working
[02:04] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:chown the directory it's mounted to to the regular user
[02:04] <gerob> jospehnexus: ok so I have the options of 173 and 177
[02:04] <distinctblur> I'm running kernel 2.6.27-9-generic; why is update manager recommending 2.6.27-7-generic?
[02:04] <runderwo> dano_: The drivers included with Ubuntu should enable compiz on intel chips.
[02:04] <josephnexus> gerob: 177 should work wonderfully for you
[02:04] <MK131> josephnexus: then try setting it back to one monitor while connected to two monitors, that works for me most of the time
[02:04] <dano_> runderwo, whenevever I try to enable it, it's says it failed to set desktop options
[02:05] <josephnexus> ok... i guess I'll have to try that
[02:05] <gerob> jospehnexus: how do i get back in if it crashes my X server?
[02:05]  * josephnexus will ha ve to go dig up a monitor somewhere...
[02:05] <Gobby> Quick question, when i minimize my windows in ubuntu studio i cannot see them on the bottom bar, but i can alt tab to them, can anyone please help me? Regards Gobby
[02:05] <runderwo> dano_: What version of ubuntu?
[02:05] <josephnexus> gerob: since you are on a newer version of ubuntu, if it fails, it should offer to revert to failsafes
[02:05] <dano_> runderwo, intrepid ibex
[02:06] <runderwo> dano_: I'm using intrepid with an intel chip and didn't need to do anything special to enable compiz.
[02:06] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:assuming it's mounted /media/disk, will be : sudo chown -R  disappearedng /media/disk   (correct username, course)
[02:06] <Gerinych> how do i change grub 2's background?
[02:06] <disappearedng_> DasEi read only file system
[02:06] <dano_> runderwo, I'm happy for you ;)  I just wish I could get mine working.
[02:06] <Gobby> Quick question, when i minimize my windows in ubuntu studio i cannot see them on the bottom bar, but i can alt tab to them, can anyone please help me? Regards Gobby
[02:07] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:was it set up like this ?
[02:07] <dano_> Gobby, you need to install window switcher application from pannel
[02:07] <distinctblur> I'm running kernel 2.6.27-9-generic; why is update manager recommending 2.6.27-7-generic?
[02:07] <disappearedng_> DasEi I guess, I followed the guide http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_mount_FFS_partition_under_Linux completely
[02:07] <Gobby> Where do i do this dano_, im farily new to ubuntu linux
[02:07] <dano_> gobby right click on the pannel and select add to pannel
[02:08] <daniel24> how do i get ubuntu if i have dialup and live in victoria melbourne australia
[02:08] <Gobby> I am pretty sure it was working earlier, i must of accidentally switched something because it showed up before
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> daniel24, By mail for free
[02:08] <arooni-mobile> i always forget; is it better to use - in filenames, databases, directories, or _
[02:08] <__jaschon__> distinctblur - i got that in update manager too
[02:08] <josephnexus> daniel24: does shipit reach you?
[02:08] <daniel24> i dont know
[02:08] <josephnexus> shipit.ubuntu.com is the site I believe
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !shipit
[02:08] <distinctblur> jaschon - tough part is it won't actually install
[02:08] <MK131> Gobby: add window list to taskbar; right click -> add -> window list
[02:09] <runderwo> distinctblur: dpkg -l linux-image-generic
[02:09] <DasEi>  disappearedng_:ufs is supported by mount (default)
[02:09] <distinctblur> runderwo: what'll that do?
[02:09] <TheFunkbomb> Can Ubuntu run as 64bit?
[02:09] <runderwo> danopia: How are you trying to enable compiz specifically?
[02:09] <Gobby> Okay MK131, thanks, and may i ask, how are you directly speaking to me is there a setting, or do you manually type Gobby:,regards
[02:09] <sheep> TheFunkbomb: the amd64 edition does
[02:09] <danopia> runderwo, by not attempting to
[02:10] <danopia> lol
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, YEs
[02:10] <disappearedng_> DasEi I am using FFS
[02:10] <distinctblur> runderwo: nevermind I can read MAN
[02:10] <MK131> i manually type it, dunno about other people
[02:10] <daniel24> ubottu
[02:10] <runderwo> distinctblur: It will tell you what version of the kernel is tied to the kernel virtual package.  If that does not match your running kernel, that is why it is trying to downgrade your kernel.
[02:10] <TheFunkbomb> sheep, what about the Intel 64 bit processors?
[02:10] <daniel24> who is ubottu
[02:10] <runderwo> dano_: How are you trying to enable compiz specifically?
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, THey use the amd64 version
[02:10] <TheFunkbomb> ubottu is a bot
[02:10] <DasEi> !brain > daniel24
[02:10] <runderwo> danopia: sorry, tab completion :)
[02:10] <sheep> TheFunkbomb: amd64 and intel's emt64 are both compatible with each other
[02:11] <TheFunkbomb> Cool Jack_Sparrow
[02:11] <TheFunkbomb> and when you're running Ubuntu 64 bit, is there a ram limit?
[02:11] <MK131> it is just called AMD64 cause they were the first (i believe) but intel uses it too now
[02:11] <Gobby> How do you switch from the GUI to CLI? I'm full of questions, sorry :)
[02:11] <TheFunkbomb> other than the mobo limit
[02:11] <Gobby> Like in the terminal?
[02:12] <daniel24> kubotto
[02:12] <DasEi> Gobby:alt+F2, gnome terminal (one possib)
[02:12] <DasEi> Gobby:alt+F2, gnome-terminal (one possib)
[02:12] <Gobby> Thank you , and has that how you also switch out?
[02:12] <ldlework> DasEi, is that a toggle?
[02:12] <MK131> gobby: when you start a new session (login) select the appropriate session then too
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> F7 to get out
[02:12] <linux_newbie> hi,help my X-window contantly shuts down automatically
[02:13] <DasEi> Idlework: what's a toggle ?
[02:13] <linuxman410> has anyone ever used dropbox for ubuntu
[02:13] <Gobby> Thank, you MK131, and also DasEI.
[02:13] <distinctblur> runderwo: that command returns <IP_ADDRESS>.13
[02:14] <runderwo> distinctblur: Doesn't help. Hmm.
[02:14] <DasEi> Gobby: also the menu has an option > console
[02:14] <Gobby> In the terminal, what is the command so i can just look at everything text based?.. Unless this is the same thing as my CLI question
[02:14] <Gobby> So i can like browse the internet etc from there
[02:15] <tyoons> I believe ubuntu has shortened the life of my laptop. I wish to sue. Who shall I sue?
[02:15] <MK131> tyoons: what makes you say that?
[02:15] <quaal> you can sue me
[02:15] <quaal> i got about $8
[02:15] <dorgan> when you want to use a CF card as a hard drive for an appliance what are some consideration i should consider when looking for CF Cards
[02:15] <quaal> by suing i mean you will have to fight me for it
[02:15] <quaal> its only fair
[02:15] <runderwo> Gobby: elinks is a terminal based web browser.
[02:15] <danopia> runderwo, fix your tab complete
[02:15] <daniel24> does shipit ship to aus
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[02:16] <danopia> runderwo, make it go in order of who spoke, not alphabetical
[02:16] <sheep> tyoons: ubuntu 9.04 will have that issue fixed when it is released in april
[02:16] <tyoons> MK131 this makes me say that --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[02:16] <tyoons> sheep yes, but I would like compensation for ubuntu ruining the life of my machine. I am wondering who to sue.
[02:16] <Jorophose> ahh! possible breakthrough
[02:16] <daniel24> does shipit ship to aus
[02:16] <linux_newbie> can someone please help me... my x-window shut down automatically ~10-20mins
[02:16] <runderwo> tyoons: Sue your BIOS manufacturer.
[02:16] <Gobby> Yes, yes that is exactly what im talking about runderwo, can you also like for example run xchat through the terminal, for the oldschool look?
[02:16] <sheep> tyoons: iirc, that is licensed in such a way that you cannot sue for damages
[02:16] <Jorophose> sudo grub-install hd0 returns "Could not find device for /boot: not found or not a block device"
[02:16] <tyoons> daniel24 yes
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> tyoons, This is support, please try a different place to express your opinion.
[02:17] <firebird619> Could someone please help me to get my sound card's remote control working? I have lirc and gnome-lirc-properties installed and have the right remote selected in gnome-lirc-properties, but I don't know what to set the receiver to, mine isn't listed?
[02:17] <tyoons> daniel24 takes about 4 weeks
[02:17] <daniel24> how many can i order
[02:17] <runderwo> Gobby: Use irssi for irc, imcom for IM, etc.
[02:17] <Jorophose> Is that supposed to happen? Was I supposed to change it for sdc1 or something?
[02:17] <tyoons> Jack_Sparrow this is not an opinion. I was looking for support.   It's the BIOS manufacturer's fault.
[02:18] <daniel24> this irc is community
[02:18] <tyoons> runderwo no windows install had the same effect. It only occurred with ubuntu.
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> tyoons, Feel free to ask somewhere else

[02:18] <runderwo> tyoons: Windows may work-around the broken BIOS.  Ubuntu doesn't.

[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> danlose the caps and go look at the link
[02:19] <vince___> hello?
[02:19] <runderwo> tyoons: Mainly because BIOS manufacturers refuse to talk to Linux programmers.
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> daniel24, the caps and go look at the link
[02:19] <tyoons> I would just warn everyone here about ubuntu then. It shortened the life of many of my companies laptops. There is no way to seek compensation for that. I would be very careful about installing ubuntu on any machine as a result
[02:19] <daniel24> what link
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[02:19] <tyoons> ubuntu is just too dangerous

[02:21] <linux_newbie> runderwo: how do I select all the info in the long list to copy it out ?
[02:21] <MK131> you can't get away from it :P
[02:21] <hommeentete> hey I'm very new to shell scripting -- I need to know how to get the result of a command to be stored in a variable... see http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5a56723 for what I'm trying to do... how do I fix that?
[02:21] <DasEi>  vince___: can you boot to safe mode ?
[02:21] <daniel24> ubuntu paste bin here http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[02:21] <sdkmvx> hommeentete, `command`
[02:22] <sdkmvx> hommeentete, VARIABLE=`command`
[02:22] <hommeentete> oooh ````` gotcha
[02:22] <Jorophose> runderwo: do I cat it?
[02:22] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Open it in a text editor, and select all, and copy.
[02:22] <daniel24> EVERYONE  Listion Paste bin HERE http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[02:22] <runderwo> Jorophose: Yeah, it's a text file.
[02:22] <hommeentete> i was using all the different quotes and didn't try that one
[02:22] <vince___> DasEi, I booted with the recovery mode, but it said "Trace complete" or something, then it just stopped doing anything.
[02:22] <hommeentete> sdkmvx: thanks
[02:22] <slew> hi im currently using hardy, is there an easy way to upgrade to intrepid, or do i need to?  i'm on a sony vaio with a broken cd drive.
[02:23] <Gerob> Hi, I just installed Ubunut, updated and then installed the 1.77 nvidia drivers through the hardware manager.  When I reset my system it dropped me at a text login with something about tty1?  How do I get back into the GUI?
[02:23] <DasEi>  vince___:on a standard p4 ? sounds like a bad installation (burn/cd-drive)
[02:23] <Jorophose> Gerob: Try "startx" and see what it tells you
[02:23] <linux_newbie> runderwo: how to display the log with txt editor ?
[02:23] <hml> how do I change the size of my X11/desktop ?
[02:23] <vince___> DasEi, it booted fine before i updated the software in update manager.
[02:23] <linux_newbie> runderwo: my name says it all
[02:23] <daniel24> slew: upgrade info here http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server
[02:23] <Gerob> Jorophose ok be back in 5 mins
[02:24] <Jorophose> hml: Check your settings manager.
[02:24] <hml> Jorophose: where?
[02:24] <hml> Jorophose: what to typpe at the command line?
[02:24] <runderwo> linux_newbie: gnome-text-editor <logfile>
[02:24] <slew> daniel24, thanks
[02:24] <linuxman410> use update manager slew and upgrade that way
[02:24] <DasEi>  vince___:when going to safe mode, no error (trace?) is displayed ?
[02:24] <edju> kernel 2.6.24-22-generic.  at boot, each message scrolling by repeats - shows up twice.  any clue as to why appreciated.
[02:24] <daniel24> slew: its ok
[02:24] <Jorophose> hml: You don't need the command line for this one. It should be in the Settings, Display Settings or similar.
[02:24] <vince___> I am accutally using irssi, in CUI
[02:24] <daniel24> slew: if any more probs ask
[02:24] <Jorophose> You could try "xrandr -s 1024x768" but it's only temporary, until you reboot
[02:24] <DasEi>  vince___:was it a dist-upgrade ?
[02:25] <slew> daniel24, thanks, will do
[02:25] <linux_newbie> !pastebin
[02:25] <vince___> DasEi, no sir, it was simply a normal update
[02:25] <hommeentete> okay next question - what's the shell script syntax for comparing a number to a variable -- eg, $E < 7

[02:26] <runderwo> hommeentete: man test
[02:26] <DasEi>  vince___:so I'd first run a e2fsck from live, then chroot from live into the fs and update/grade again
[02:26] <daniel24> any one have probs
[02:26] <vince___> DasEi, Ill try it. but i think it has something to do with the video more like
[02:26] <vince___> ill be back
[02:26] <vince___> exit
[02:27] <hommeentete> runderwo: well i'm doing it in an if clause, so i was looking for something a little more straightforward

[02:28] <runderwo> hommeentete: it's exactly what you need.  Just look at it.
[02:28] <MK131> is there anyway to copy current computer config (including drivers) to an install cd for later install on the same system?
[02:28] <MK131> or atleast export current drivers?
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd
[02:29] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Looks like no problems there.  But the X server crashes as soon as it starts up? (Not once you login)
[02:31] <BigMike> i just tried to install compiz plugins and it wrecked my system there are no window buttons anymore what should I do?
[02:31] <linux_newbie> runderwo: actually, the shutdown box automatically prompts for like lightening second then it will shutdown
[02:31] <runderwo> linux_newbie: But this is as soon as X starts up without you touching anything?
[02:31] <linux_newbie> runderwo: nope it will shut down my computer ...
[02:32] <MK131> BigMike, that happened when I tested out Mandriva (i know...) try restarting, or set up window decorations in CCSM
[02:32] <Gerob> Jorophose: It said:  Fatal Server error: no screens found, giving up.   xinit:Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to Xserver ... xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error
[02:32] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Did it ever work correctly, and what changed since it did?
[02:32] <linux_newbie> runderwo: this only happened today
[02:32] <csana> im trying to formant a floppy with fdformat /dev/fd0 on ubuntu,says /dev/fd0 no such file or directory
[02:32] <hommeentete> runderwo: yea you were right lol thanks
[02:33] <BigMike> i deleted compiz
[02:33] <runderwo> hommeentete: y/w
[02:33] <ghone> Anyone know how to get a Linksys WRT54G2 working with wireless without MS-Windows?
[02:33] <JoshPilcer> does ubuntu support java?
[02:33] <linux_newbie> runderwo: I didn't touch anything and the shutdown box will pops up and shut down my computer
[02:33] <Jorophose> nVidia drivers are sadly beyond my level of expertise... But do you have a failsafe xorg.conf? or a backup of it?
[02:33] <csana> ghone:hookup two routers or as a wireless adapter?
[02:33] <nightrid3r> ghone: http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:33] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Did you upgrade anything?
[02:33] <Jorophose> Though I sadly can't do much for you, I know some of the guys here are brilliant and can help you out... right? D=
[02:33] <Gerob> I dont know
[02:34] <Gerob> Jorophose: I dont know
[02:34] <csana> ghone:misunderstood your question
[02:34] <linux_newbie> runderwo: not really
[02:34] <ghone> csna: I wanted to use it to connect a notebook running ubuntu to a PPPoE modem
[02:34] <JoshPilcer> does ubuntu support java?
[02:34] <ghone> nightrid3r: <IP_ADDRESS> doesn't exist
[02:34] <Gerob> JoshPilcer: yes
[02:35] <csana> via wireless?
[02:35] <ghone> csna:yes.
[02:35] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Is it a laptop?
[02:35] <dean> !help
[02:35] <linux_newbie> runderwo: a desktop
[02:35] <nightrid3r> ghone: use wired first to setup your linksys
[02:35] <Jorophose> Oyoyoy... Is there an older but more stable version of the nvidia drivers in the repos?
[02:36] <runderwo> linux_newbie: I'm out of ideas.  You could try purging and reinstalling gdm.
[02:36] <Jorophose> Do you think you could get it running in VESA mode?
[02:36] <Gerob> Can anyone help me with getting my GUI back up and running after installing my nvidia drivers and getting stuck at a tty1?
[02:36] <ghone> nightrid3r: sing a wired connection, the router works as a hub.
[02:36] <Steelflint> Gerob, what graphics card do you have, and what resolution are you aiming for?
[02:36] <runderwo> Gerob: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace 'nvidia' with 'nv'
[02:36] <linux_newbie> runderwo: what could trigger the shutdown box to pop up automatically ?
[02:37] <csana> uh so like this? laptop-(router)~(wireless)~(ppoe modem)--internet?
[02:37] <runderwo> linux_newbie: The only thing I can think of is ACPI thinks your battery is dead, but it's not a laptop.
[02:37] <nightrid3r> ghone: reset the router first, puvh a pen in the small hole in the back
[02:37] <Gerob> Steelflint: A geforce 8600 GT and my monitors optimum resolution is 1680X1050
[02:37] <dean> !botsnack
[02:37] <marine> nightrid3r, what's good
[02:37] <csana> i eat packets...
[02:38] <MK131> how can i set up my wifi card so I can connect to it via ps3 (create a wireless access point)
[02:38] <ghone> csna: Near as I can tell, the thing works just fine so long as I don't try to use wireless functionality or access http:<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:38] <csana> !botsnack
[02:38] <linux_newbie> runderwo: where to check this acpi setting in ubuntu ?
[02:38] <csana> ...
[02:38] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Just go to a command line and type acpi.
[02:38] <marine> does anyone here know how to merge an unallocated partition
[02:38] <runderwo> But you won't have a battery.
[02:38] <ghone> nightrid3r: Yeah, tried that around lunchtime or so.  Any other ideas?
[02:38] <csana> ghone:im a noob and also i dont really get what your saying,try <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:39] <dean> marine: use gparted to expand the partiton
[02:39] <runderwo> !gparted | marine
[02:39] <linux_newbie> runderwo: it returns nothing
[02:39] <ghone> csna: also a no-go
[02:39] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Right, because you don't have a battery.
[02:39] <csana> uhh...are you connected to it?
[02:39] <ghone> csna: yes, using a cable
[02:39] <marine> that's how i got the unallocated partition from  gparted
[02:39] <nightrid3r> ghone: for a full reset you need to press the butten for 20 sec
[02:39] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Try  sudo dpkg --purge gdm; sudo apt-get install gdm
[02:40] <csana> as in does ubuntu say you are?btw its written csana
[02:40] <marine> dean, i used gparted to free up the remaining hardrive space from the windows side and got an unallocated partition
[02:41] <ghone> nightridr: tried for about 40 seconds or so.  is it possible that th192.168.a.b (where a and b are between 0 and 5) is incorrect?
[02:41] <marine> runderwo,  i used gparted to free up the remaining hardrive space from the windows side and got an unallocated partition
[02:41] <dean> marine; click on the linux partition, hit resize and then make it take up the free space
[02:42] <linux_newbie> runderwo: gdm is the lastest ... diffstat quilt libfribidi-dev is no longer needed... apt-get autoremove... to remove it
[02:42] <marine> dean let me try that
[02:42] <nightrid3r> ghone: it should be <IP_ADDRESS> unless they changed it in your model all other linksys use that adress
[02:42] <linux_newbie> runderwo: shut I do as instructed ?
[02:42] <csana> ghone:right click on the little computer connection icon and click on connection information
[02:42] <marine> dean i don't think it gave me that choice the first time.
[02:42] <ghone> linksys tech support also said the same address
[02:42] <linux_newbie> runderwo: should I do as insturcted ?
[02:42] <dean> ghone: try <IP_ADDRESS> if that doesn't work
[02:42] <csana> ghone:right click on the little computer connection icon and click on connection information
[02:43] <ghone> maybe I just got a broken one
[02:43] <csana> ghone:right click on the little computer connection icon and click on connection information
[02:43] <runderwo> linux_newbie: I was just suggesting to reinstall it in case it's gotten screwed up somehow, but I don't think it'll make a difference.
[02:43] <hellhound_> how can i downgrade my flash plugin from 10.x to 9.x??? I have 9.x downloaded but i cannot find any resolution in google just people advising other downgrade to 9.x
[02:43] <dean> marine: you can't resize a partition while you're using it
[02:43] <marine> dean
[02:43] <dean> marine: you'll have to boot from the live cd
[02:44] <marine> dean, it won't give me that option
[02:44] <homeskillet> im tryin to connect to my wireless router and ubuntu is asking me to create a default keyring by choosing a password. is this necessary?
[02:44] <dean> marine: are you in the live CD or booting from hard drive
[02:44] <ghone> Is there anyone who's definitely got a WRT54G2 working?
[02:44] <marine> dean,  and do what
[02:44] <marine> dean, booting form the hard drive
[02:44] <csana> ghone:right click on the little computer connection icon and click on connection information should say some ip adreses
[02:44] <linuxman410> me gphone using it right now
[02:45] <dean> marine: open gparted from the live cd
[02:45] <dean> marine: instead of from the hard drive
[02:45] <dean> marine: since ubuntu is using the partition, you cannot access it
[02:45] <dean> marine: it has a lock next to it, right
[02:45] <marine> dean and then what i don't want to wipe out what i already have
[02:45] <dean> marine: post a screenshot
[02:45] <ghone> csana: no, it doesn't.  I think that might only work when the wifi is actually working.
[02:46] <csana> does it say youre connected?
[02:46] <marine> how is that done
[02:46] <ghone> csna: nope
[02:46] <mewshi> can someone help me with vuze?
[02:46] <csana> ok then no wonder
[02:46] <dean> marine: Alt-printscreen and then use imageshack.us
[02:46] <marine> dean,  yes it does a set of keys
[02:47] <csana> how are you on the internet?
[02:47] <mewshi> http://rafb.net/p/FN4P9M78.html <- this is the output when I try to run vuze, what can I do?
[02:47] <linux_newbie> runderwo: it might be the spring engine game I 've install the before that
[02:47] <runderwo> linux_newbie: I doubt it, but you could try removing it.
[02:47] <ghone> csna: ethernet cable
[02:47] <marine> dean see pm
[02:47] <linux_newbie> runderwo: how do i uninstall it ? I couldn't find it in add/remove
[02:47] <dean> !help
[02:48] <csana> ghone: i mean how are you using this irc
[02:48] <ghone> Yeah, I
[02:48] <runderwo> linux_newbie: How did you install it?
[02:48] <ghone> 'csna: I'm using an ethernet cable to the router which is connected to a PPPoE modem also vie ethernet cable.
[02:49] <ghone> csna: I'm using an ethernet cable to the router which is connected to a PPPoE modem also vie ethernet cable.

[02:49] <ghone> csna: wired it works except that there's no <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:50] <jon_high9000> hi. is there a way to adjust text color to make text visable in dark background gtk themes?
[02:50] <csana> are you sure the connection info doesnt say anything?
[02:50] <ghone> Yeah, I think I might just have to do something drastic at the point of sale.

[02:59] <nightrid3r> dreamy: extreme sm ?
[02:59] <runderwo> linux_newbie: You could first do this:
[02:59] <Tyrath> dreamy: and if you ask people questions you should give something back in return
[03:00] <treats> you need to hope someone has a more technical problem than yourself and they see your problem
[03:00] <runderwo> !clone | linux_newbie
[03:00] <dreamy> Tyrath: ok thats a great quality
[03:00] <runderwo> linux_newbie: Reinstall the packages that way and see if it helps.
[03:00] <phix> any ideas guys / gurls?
[03:00] <phix> or do I need to bang my head against the table a few more times?
[03:00] <Jorophose> http://i39.tinypic.com/fdzom8.png http://i44.tinypic.com/2ue36fb.png it seems grub installed just fine...

[03:02] <Rencx> how run skype in Ubuntu startup?
[03:02] <Gobby> !photoshop
[03:02] <phix> Rencx: why use skype for?
[03:03] <Gobby> Any photoshop users?
[03:03] <phix> Rencx: when you can run your own skype like service which uses open standards
[03:03] <Tyrath> Gobby: I used to use it
[03:03] <phix> Rencx: asterisk for the win
[03:03] <Gobby> Tyrath, did you use it with Ubuntu studio?
[03:03] <Gobby> Using wine
[03:03] <MK13> photoshop user here :)
[03:03] <Rencx> phix i need all my skype contacts
[03:03] <DivineOmega> Rencx, you can run Skype at start up by going to System -> Preferences -> Session
[03:04] <phix> Rencx: fail :)
[03:04] <Tyrath> Gobby: nope. never. have you tried gimp? gimp's good!
[03:04] <homeskillet> anyone know if verizon fios supports ubuntu linux and if they'll give tech support for it?
[03:04] <DivineOmega> Then adding a new item under the 'Startup programs' tab.
[03:04] <Tyrath> Gobby: I have photoshop on my mum's mac tho CS3 I think it is
[03:04] <Luka> lucasito
[03:04] <Gobby> All photoshop users, i am using photoshop cs2 with wine.. but its very buggy.. and wondering if there is a much more stable way of using it?
[03:04] <Tyrath> Gobby: and it's mac os x so uses the unix kernel
[03:04] <phix> I wonder if there is a SIP -> Skype / Skype -> SIP gatewaye module for asterisk
[03:04] <nickrud> Gobby, running it in windows in virtualbox
[03:05] <DivineOmega> phix, I doubt it. Skype's protocol is secret and encrypted.
[03:05] <Gobby> Hmm, im going to try GIMPShop, so i get the feel of photoshop, i've been using photoshop cs2 for a year, its wonderful
[03:05] <Rencx> DivineOmega yes but what comad i need write there?
[03:05] <MK13> i use Photoshop CS4 on windows... but GIMP is a very close rival
[03:05] <DivineOmega> Providing you have the Linux version of skype installed, just Skype.
[03:05] <linux_newbie> runderwo: ok thanks I will try that when I come back
[03:05] <Gobby> Nickrud, i have no idea how to setup virtualbox... my dad used it , (we are both ubuntu users) and he coul'nt setup right, rather not
[03:05] <DivineOmega> Sorry 'skype' - lowercase
[03:06] <Tyrath> phix: you need to get past what is knows as the skype obfuscion layer - or something like that. should be on wiki...
[03:06] <linux_newbie> runderwo: thanks alot cya
[03:06] <DivineOmega> Rencx, that worked for you?
[03:06] <Rencx> DivineOmega is there on linux beter program than skype?
[03:06] <runderwo> linux_newbie: y/w
[03:07] <BigMike> how do I get my windows buttons back they disappeard
[03:07] <Tyrath> anyone got any idea of how to get hibernate (the linux app) to work?
[03:07] <Rencx> DivineOmega: i add it..
[03:07] <daniel24> hi
[03:07] <daniel24> im back]
[03:07] <treats> many of my apps, after making the jump from kubuntu to ubuntu quit before they have a chance to start up.  is there a way to fix this?
[03:08] <Tyrath> because I read the ubuntu tutorial on it and modified all the settings and it still doesn't do anything other than kill my network connection temporarily
[03:08] <DivineOmega> Rencx, cool. I usually only use Skype for my voice communicates.
[03:08] <zacktu> hibernate worked for me until I resized and moved swap -- now it doesn't
[03:08] <GBGames> I'm running 7.04, and I can't update anytime soon, so it's what I have to work with right now. I found that when I switch to a different wifi network, /etc/hosts reverts back to the default, so anything I set in there disappears. Is there a different place I'm expected to set a hostname for a remote IP?
[03:08] <Tyrath> zacktu: hibernate as in the script for linux? or the gnome hibernate thing?
[03:08] <Rencx> DivineOmega i had problem with sound i uninstalled pulseaudio thet was write?
[03:09] <fulat2k> hi folks, i just installed ubuntu-desktop from a kubuntu installation.  however, there's no sound once the gnome desktop loads.  any ideas?  there's sound in gdm as well as in kde.
[03:09] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: allocation of memory problem ?
[03:09] <DivineOmega> Rencx, you shouldn't have needed to uninstall Pulseaudio. What was the nature of the sound problem? Was it specific to Skype?
[03:09] <zacktu> tyrath -- i tried both -- can see that the commands to hibernate are all executed, but not the ones to wake up
[03:09] <Tyrath> GBGames: have you tried configuring the details in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[03:10] <Rencx> DivineOmega yes i hear only with left side
[03:10] <GBGames> Tyrath: Nope. I'll take a look.
[03:10] <Tyrath> GBGames: that's probably not the solution you want
[03:10] <Jorophose> So guys, any chance one of you would know how grub could fail, even though it's been installed properly and appears to know about all the hard drives?... maybe the BIOS is ignoring grub?
[03:10] <Rencx> DivineOmega now i fix it and i can hear both sides i installed esound
[03:10] <zacktu> robert - don't think so there's plenty of swap -- the forums show how to make certain the uuid is correct, etc, but none of that works
[03:10] <hansel> I am trying to get my WinXP vmware image working but it keeps saying operating system not found.  This vmware image worked just fine on my vista box.  ideas or does somebody have a .vmx file I could try?
[03:10] <Tyrath> GBGames: but you can set your wifi settings to auto connect on boot
[03:11] <hansel> I am using vmware btw... just dl'd it.
[03:11] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: you have a log something error messages ?
[03:11] <vison> - -
[03:11] <GBGames> Well, they already autoconnect. The problem is when I take my laptop to a different wifi connection, it seems to remove my customizations.
[03:11] <DivineOmega> Rencx, you've fixed it? Great stuff.
[03:11] <marine> does anyone know how to engage the autorun software
[03:12] <Rencx> DivineOmega do you now how to startup 2 skype accounts on one pc?
[03:12] <Tyrath> GBGames: unless you see something like auto wlan0 in that file it may not be auto connecting to the wireless network
[03:12] <zacktu> robert - i read the man pages and found out where the logs are kept - this was before christmas, so i don't remember where the log is
[03:12] <ardchoille> marine: in nautilus: Edit > Preferences > Media tab  ?
[03:12] <pyro2927> using gnome, when i open firefox it seems to be located in a different position on my screen. is there a way to make it remember the last location i placed it and have it open there?
[03:13] <GBGames> Tyrath: When I am able to use the network connection, it is clear that it is working. My concern isn't the wireless connection. My concern is that I named an IP address in /etc/hosts so it is easy to ssh to it, but when I switch wifi networks, it seems that /etc/hosts is getting overwritten.
[03:13] <Rencx> Can anyone explain how to run Windows program on Ubuntu.. I have Wine instaled..
[03:13] <Gobby> Can you get a windows virus, from installing a windows program with wine?
[03:13] <DivineOmega> Rencx, you can start two instances of Skype in Linux.
[03:13] <ardchoille> pyro2927: Been looking for that for months, haven't found anything for it
[03:13] <Tyrath> GBGames: you should also allocate instructions such as wireless-mode managed   wireless-channel <channel>   wireless-essid <your wireless networks name>
[03:13] <runderwo> Gobby: It's possible
[03:13] <marine> ardchoille, i don't see nautilus
[03:13] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend
 yes but they will launch in the same account
[03:13] <Gobby> runderwo: what are the chances?
[03:14] <pyro2927> ardchoille: :(
[03:14] <runderwo> Gobby: 42.6971%
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Gobby, Highly unlike;y, but dont use root access and dont map /root as drive Z
[03:14] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: the most common problem is your fstab, but you cleared the UUID you siad right ?
[03:14] <ardchoille> marine: Places > Home
 or one of them i need write by hand
[03:14] <marine> ardchoille, i'm trying to boot up form livecd and it won't run automatically
[03:14] <Tyrath> GBGames: sudo ifup -a  will make it reread the interfaces file
[03:14] <Rencx> Can anyone explain how to run Windows program on Ubuntu.. I have Wine instaled..
[03:14] <Brendan_Johnson> does anyone know how to change the startup screen on ubuntu?
[03:14] <runderwo> Gobby: Seriously, the worst that can usually happen is that it deletes all your user's files and starts some network service.
[03:14] <DivineOmega> Rencx, you can sign out of one and sign into another account manually, but you can not make it auto login to two different accounts.
[03:14] <runderwo> Gobby: Which is pretty bad.
[03:14] <Brendan_Johnson> please pm me
[03:14] <nightrid3r> marine: check your bios, set it to boot from cdrom
[03:15] <Gobby> i see, is there a built in ubuntu scanner?
[03:15] <Tyrath> Rencx: type wine <path to file>/<filename>.exe in terminal
[03:15] <runderwo> !wine | Rencx
[03:15] <GBGames> Tyrath: Ok, but what does that have to do with /etc/hosts getting overwritten?
[03:15] <Gobby> that will detect those types of things?
[03:15] <runderwo> !clamav | Gobby
[03:15] <zacktu> robert: yes, i've checked fstab, and the UUIDs match -- i did a copy and paste -- and have checked that swap works
[03:15] <runderwo> !info clamav | Gobby
[03:15] <marine> ard
[03:15] <treats> my ubuntu is acting rediculous.  Can I bring it back to a "out of the box" state without using a boot cd or thumb stick?
[03:15] <nightrid3r> treats: no
[03:15] <ardchoille> marine: my bad, what I recommended isn't what you want, sorry about that
[03:15] <runderwo> treats: Try creating a new user account and seeing if it has the same problems.
[03:15] <Tyrath> GBGames: well I think it reads the interfaces file first. so any settings in there prob override the others. i'm not 100% sure tho
[03:16] <Gerinych> how do i uninstall grub2?
[03:16] <Gobby> how can i download clamav runderwo? and thanks for all the help
[03:16] <Brendan_Johnson> does anyone know how to change the startup screen on ubuntu? please pm me.
[03:16] <franki^> usplash?
[03:16] <Gobby> just want to be safe always :)
[03:16] <marine> ardchoille, i found it and it looks like it says ask what to do and it di nothing when i poped the cd in
[03:16] <linxeh> treats: sometimes you can delete most of the stuff in your home dir (all the .directories) and it will be ok, other times you need to reinstall unless you know what you are doing
[03:16] <runderwo> Gobby: sudo apt-get install clamav.  But remember it's not a resident scanner, so you'll have to invoke it manually to scan a windows file.
[03:16] <Brendan_Johnson> I guess it is the usplash
[03:16] <marine> nightrid3r, check bios from the desktop how is that done
[03:17] <Brendan_Johnson> it is the one with the progress bar when booting ubuntu
[03:17] <Ying> hi. i need a driver for my ZET modem to run under ubuntu. model: MF622 HSDPA USB MODEM. Can anyone help me?
[03:17] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: you mind if we check again ?
[03:17] <zacktu> robert: okay
[03:17] <Gobby> Alright runderwo... thanks very much hope theres not a limit on questions because im going to ask alot :)
[03:17] <nightrid3r> marine: when booting pc press "del" or "f1" or something like that
[03:17] <runderwo> Gobby: If I'm around :)
[03:17] <Brendan_Johnson> marine: i think it is f8
[03:18] <Brendan_Johnson> when booting
[03:18] <Destinatus> how do i install ubuntu from a usb flash drive?
[03:18] <macman> guys .. i feel like going straight console mode .. is this good or bad ?
[03:18] <marine> all right thanks but the cd is in now and it won't play
[03:18] <Brendan_Johnson> you need to mount ubuntu to the flash and then it will act like a cd
[03:18] <Descention> I need help with wireless: I have a Realtek 8185 - I am running ubuntu 8.04 - kernel 2.6.24-23-generic - I installed the linux-backports-modules and still do not have wireless.
[03:18] <Gobby> If i deleted a file.. that was not a like uninstallable program.. its not installed just downloaded and used it no setup what so ever.. if i just delete this will it permanently go away? sorry i cant think of any better way to put it
[03:18] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: (please use tab to complete my Nick because I could miss your reply) do a ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid
[03:19] <nightrid3r> marine: open the cd in windows and see if theres more than 1 file
[03:19] <GBGames> Tyrath: Found it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372420
[03:19] <Brendan_Johnson> Descention: check your hardware settings in the upper right hand corner
[03:19] <gerber> i got new monitor, where can i go to change resolution ?
[03:19] <Brendan_Johnson> does anyone know how to change the startup screen on ubuntu?
[03:19] <Destinatus> can i just copy unbuntu cd over to flash drive after partitioning the flash drive and making the primary partition active?
[03:19] <Tyrath> GBGames: nice :). sorry i couldn't be of more help
[03:19] <marine> nightrid3r, yes there is about 10 files
[03:19] <MK13> gerber: system -> preferences -> resolution
[03:19] <Descention> Brendan_Johnson: I see nothing about hardware settings.
[03:19] <zacktu> Robert_Surcouf: wanna see the output?
[03:19] <marine> nightrid3r, maye more
[03:19] <DivineOmega> gerber, System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[03:20] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: then compare it with you /etc/fstab if you could paste them in http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[03:20] <Rencx> Ouuuch nice i can run some windows programs :)
[03:20] <nightrid3r> marine: have more than 1 cd/dvd
[03:20] <Ying> hi. where can i find a driver for my ZET modem to run under ubuntu. model: MF622 HSDPA USB MODEM?
[03:20] <Chlorate> When I run Compiz Fusion, videos I watch through vlc, totem, etc will flash black on Ubuntu 8.10. Any ideas?
[03:20] <Descention> Brendan_Johnson: i see hardware drivers, the wireless driver is checked, but not in use
[03:20] <Brendan_Johnson> Destinatus: check this out:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150412
[03:20] <Destinatus> thank you
[03:21] <marine> nightrid3r,  what
[03:21] <Gobby> If i deleted a file.. that was not a like uninstallable program.. its not installed just downloaded and used it no setup what so ever.. if i just delete this will it permanently go away? sorry i cant think of any better way to put it
[03:21] <OmiKrOn> hi, what's the latest available kernel version in the repositories?
[03:21] <nightrid3r> marine: have more than 1 cd/dvd drive ?
[03:21] <marine> nightrid3r, don't follow you
[03:21] <marine> nightrid3r, no just this one
[03:21] <Rencx> ouh nice :)
[03:21] <RORgasm> hey guys i had installed vmware server on my laptop before
[03:21] <marine> nightrid3r, the cd/dvd drive works fine
[03:21] <RORgasm> i was wondering how i could totally remove it
[03:22] <Rencx> i love it... lol
[03:22] <Destinatus> maybe i wasn't clear. i want to boot and install ubuntu off a usb flash drive
[03:22] <nightrid3r> marine: let me check something
[03:22] <zacktu> Robert_Surcouf: pasted
[03:22] <RORgasm> i wanna delete everything i had once windows installed on it but i want to remove it now
[03:22] <Rencx> !virtualbox
[03:22] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: you need to give us the url
[03:22] <Robert_Surcouf> !paste | zacktu
[03:23] <marine> nightrid3r, i'm getting an error cannot find autorun software
[03:23] <marine> nightrid3r, cannot find autorun program
[03:23] <nightrid3r> marine: is one of the files on the cd named casper
[03:24] <zacktu> Robert_Surcouf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/106768/
[03:24] <marine> nightrid3r, yes
[03:24] <Jaffarkelshac> i installed netmeter with wine, it work, but when it starts up startup from sessions, it does not dock in the system tray. it docks in the wine system tray which floats on the desktop. #winehq no help. any ideas http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14197388/WineSystemTray2.png
[03:24] <Tyrath> does the python program have a dictionary? and how good is it if it does?
[03:24] <nightrid3r> marine: it could be either a burning error or a bad download
[03:25] <Chlorate> When I play videos from my hard drive through totem, vlc, etc they flash black like the refresh rate is wrong. This only occurs when I have compiz running, any ideas how to fix it? I'm on ubuntu 8.10 32bit.
[03:25] <marine> nightrid3r, is that what a casper file means
[03:25] <jrib> Tyrath: what do you mean exactly?
[03:25] <nightrid3r> marine: no the file has to be there but if it doesn't boot and your bios is ok then you have a bad disk
[03:25] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: looks good quick question it was sda2 before ?
[03:25] <Ultraputz> in nautilus, where are the icons in the sidebar (shortcuts) defined? is there a reference that documents it?
[03:26] <Tyrath> jrib: well is there any python command that looks up words in a dictionary? like >>> lookup <word> ?
[03:26] <jrib> Tyrath: #python
[03:26] <Tyrath> jrib: I guess i'll just check in the man then
[03:26] <grayson> Hi all, what is the command in terminal to update clamav, please and thank you.
[03:26] <marine> nightrid3r, the error mesage is cannot find autorun program
[03:27] <Tyrath> jrib: but if you want to send me to a channel for something would you know of a channel that could help me with QTStalker?
[03:27] <jrib> Tyrath: ask #python, that's the proper place to ask question about python programming
[03:27] <jrib> Tyrath: I don't know what qtstalker is
[03:27] <MK13> grayson: not sure, but isn't it 'sudo apt-get update clamav' or similar?
[03:27] <nightrid3r> marine: is there a file "umenu.exe"
[03:27] <Tyrath> jrib: it's not python programming related, just python command related. I don't know python and don't care to learn it - i only use the program for it's calculator but thanks for the tip anyhow
[03:27] <zacktu> Robert_Surcouf: dunno about sda2 -- now i have sda1 & sda3 as windows partitions and sda2 is an extended partition containint /boot /home / and swap
[03:28] <jrib> Tyrath: what you are asking is a python programming question
[03:28] <linuxman410> grayson it is gksudo clamtk
[03:28] <marine> nightrid3r, yes it's a blue diamond shaped
[03:28] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: could you issue a sudo swapon -a
[03:28] <grayson> MK13, I tried "sudo apt-get clamfresh" and sudo freshclam
[03:28] <grayson> linuxman410, Thankl you!
[03:28] <Tyrath> jrib: I don't understand. it doesn't involve programming anything
[03:28] <jrib> Tyrath: use 'dict' if you just want a command to use in the terminal (not in the python shell)
[03:28] <linuxman410> your welcome
[03:28] <Tyrath> jrib: i do use dict, i was just curious
[03:29] <Tyrath> jrib: the thing is dict is a little bit annoying because it just dumps an output, the program doesn't enter any interactive mode or anything
[03:29] <OmiKrOn> can someone tell me what is the latest stable kernel version available in repos for Ubuntu 8.04?
[03:29] <jrib> Tyrath: dict WORD | less
[03:30] <Tyrath> jrib: that would merely enable me to scroll, it wouldn't enable me to input additional searches
[03:30] <Rencx> cold somone explain how wor vbox?
[03:30] <zacktu> Robert_Surcouf: done -- swap doesn't normally get used - one time i was running a memory-hungry app and kept opening others until I finally saw some of swap get used
[03:30] <Tyrath> jrib: piping isn't what i mean
[03:30] <Rencx> What is better VirtualBox or Wine?
[03:30] <dmsuperman> Trying to boot the alternate installer I get this: ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [0]
[03:30] <jrib> Tyrath: if that's what you want, ask that
[03:30] <jrib> Rencx: they are completely different things
[03:30] <doublewulf> rencx they do different things
[03:30] <Gobby> If i deleted a file.. that was not a like uninstallable program.. its not installed just downloaded and used it no setup what so ever.. if i just delete this will it permanently go away? sorry i cant think of any better way to put it
[03:31] <nightrid3r> marine: did you check the md5sum before burning
[03:31] <grayson> linuxman410, Thank you
[03:31] <Rencx> cold you explain me difference?
[03:31] <marine> nightrid3r, yes i did and everything was fine the sytem works soild
[03:31] <Tyrath> jrib: in which case would you know of a low resource dictionary program that has a running mode and doesn't simply quit upon execution?
[03:31] <jrib> Gobby: if you delete a file, it goes away, yes...
[03:31] <doublewulf> Rencx: wine allows for running windows applications. Virtual box allows you to run multiple instances of virtual machines for whichever OS you have images
[03:31] <weltpopeltag> Flips a coin: TAILS
[03:31] <jrib> Tyrath: not for a shell, no
[03:31] <jrib> weltpopeltag: please don't do that
[03:31] <Robert_Surcouf> zacktu: hum what I would like to try is to do a to do a hibernation is it possible ? or not, in order to test the hibernation process you have to issue two commands $ echo reboot > /sys/power/disk and $ echo disk > /sys/power/state
[03:32] <Tyrath> jrib: ahh k. thanks anyhow
[03:32] <xSlack> can someone help me get the title bars back on my windows
[03:32] <Gobby> no matter what? its not like windows where it stays in the registry etc? im farily new.. the program was used in wine.. and i think it had a virus... so i deleted it
 VirtualBox will instal xp and only then i can run program?
[03:32] <nightrid3r> marine: try to burn another disk and use that one, write it at a lower speed
[03:32] <jrib> Gobby: well the program could have done whatever it wanted to when you ran it...
[03:32] <MK13> Gobby: yes, it should go away if it was standalone. It may have made files outside of its directory but it is not common for standalone programs to do that
[03:32] <The_Rebel> how do i get gfxboot working?
[03:32] <The_Rebel> grub-gfxboot*
[03:32] <Tyrath> Robert_Surcouf: have you tried /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh ?
[03:32] <doublewulf> rencx virtualbox will allow you to install xp in a virtual environment which you define, as long as you have an image for XP, or an install disk.
[03:33] <doublewulf> rencx: wine will allow you to run individual windows programs
[03:33] <Gobby> i used it for about 3 mins and found out about the virus, it would not have enough time right?
[03:33] <MK13> Gobby: it only takes the time to run it :(
[03:33] <marine> nightrid3r, basically i want to import the remaining hardrive space that i made with gparted that is unallocated right now
[03:33] <MK13> Gobby: once stated that is it
[03:33] <marine> nightrid3r, any suggestions
[03:33] <jrib> Gobby: if it's a windows virus than it probably would not do much more than affect your ~/.wine/drive_c/
[03:34] <Gobby> Hmm, well i deleted it , have'nt found any other instances of it
