[14:09] <Rabbitbunny> tonny: For a fileserver you're probably going to like Samba, and I bet CUPS can handle your printing needs.

[14:10] <tonny> Rabbitbunny i managed to install cupsys and can can even administer the printer through the web interface but the test page never prints
[14:10] <s3a> bazhang: lol i have that exact page b4
[14:11] <s3a> bazhang: it doesnt actually say how to do it tho
[14:11] <ePax> mancmatt: google and see what modes your graphic card supports. I think that your refresh rate is not as it should be.
[14:11] <Rabbitbunny> tonny: Sorry, I don't own a printer, I've got no idea how to help with that. :(
[14:11] <STSX> Which system log contains the shutdown information from the last shutdown?  Any ideas?
[14:11] <tonny> as for files, ive set up an nfs server but i wanted to know how to stream media
[14:11] <tonny> Rabbitbunny really?
[14:11] <Rabbitbunny> really. I have no need.
[14:11] <mancmatt> ePax, already done, the mode and refresh were correct at 1680x1050:60Hz, but it was still just blindly outputting 1280x1024
[14:11] <ubuntu-lover> epax:which is better of all ver?
[14:11] <ePax> mancmatt: Driver name should be "ati" "radeon"
[14:12] <bazhang> http://answers.yahoo.ca/question/index?qid=20080116202523AAgi0dK s3a should work with open office as well (this is ms office)
[14:12] <tonny> anyone else? bazhang?
[14:12] <ePax> ubuntu-lover: The newer the better
[14:12] <bazhang> tonny, what is the issue
[14:12] <ePax> mancmatt: As i said driver name should be ati or radeon
[14:12] <LordMetroid> what is the 1 in "-rwx------ 1 lordmetroid lordmetroid" representing? Where can I get more info on all various numbers?
[14:13] <tonny> bazhang how to get my cups server working.... i can administer throug the web interface, but no test page prints
[14:13] <mancmatt> ePax: is that in "Monitor" or "Screen"?
[14:13] <Rabbitbunny> LordMetroid: man chmod, man chown.
[14:13] <mancmatt> ePax: or both?#
[14:13] <bazhang> tonny, print to pdf?

[14:13] <LordMetroid> Pici: Nah, size comes after user and group notice
[14:13] <bazhang> tonny, which printer
[14:13] <Pici> LordMetroid: er, I lied, I was looking at the wrong number.
[14:14] <tonny> hp deskjet 3740
[14:14] <bazhang> tonny, let me check
[14:14] <ePax> mancmatt: I hink its in bouth. Before you start messing with xorg.conf do one copy of the file wich kinda works. cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-copy in case you really mess up.
[14:14] <tonny> all my other ubuntu systems recognize it when its connected locally... it works with the foomatic/hpijs(or whatever) driver...
[14:15] <tonny> bazhang plus ive set up ssh so i can do most of the stuff remotely...
[14:15] <ratpoison> Hello! Hardy amd64 user. I want to install support for my emu 1212m card. It IS supported by alsa 1.0.16 but probably the deb package hardy doesn't install the driver with support for it. How do I do it by avoiding ./configure?

[14:15] <mancmatt> ePax: how do i edit xorg.conf? I'm trying to edit in nano but it says it can't save it

[14:18] <MegaBrutal> Hi all! I have a Telindus 1111 ADSL Bridge, connectiong on USB. Ubuntu doesn't detect it? Anyone know about a driver for it? Anyone who use the same device? (I've been searching, but couldn't find anything.)
[14:18] <LordMetroid> pici: Thanks, number of links
[14:19] <TritonX> MEgabrutal: can you connect it by ethernet? if not you might want to add a network card in your system, network USB always sucked
[14:20] <LordMetroid> What does number of links mean?
[14:20] <MegaBrutal> TritonX: It has an ethernet interface - then I should get a cable, and try to connect by that thing.

[14:25] <Dani> hello guys ! question : if you have a problem with backtracking to resolve what language would you use ?
[14:25] <Dani> in linux-ubuntu
[14:26] <anirudh0> broonsparrow, AFAIK amarok has a random playlist option
[14:26] <lw0x15> whats the command for listing the processes
[14:26] <Dani> i'm thinking c , python or bash is to hard to code ...am i right ?
[14:26] <magnus__1> ps
[14:27] <pdub> hey guys having some difficulty finding my XP partition in my Ubuntu.  Both partitions are on the same drive but for some reason my XP Partition isn't showing up in the /media folder.. or anywhere else for that matter?
[14:27] <lw0x15> Dani, python isnt hard
[14:27] <Dani> k.. but is it easy to solve a backtracking problem ?
[14:27] <broonsparrow> ah. cheers. found it - it's gonna take it an age to import the 60 odd days of music i have into the playlist, i'm guessing it only has to do that once.

[14:28] <robg_> pdub: if the OS does niot appear in the BIOS bootlist then it could have been deleted during an install.
[14:28] <pdub> its dual booted.. i can get into both partitions.. i just can't see xp in ubuntu
[14:28] <Pici> bullgard4: It probably just 'locales' then

[14:49] <squirkey> I use a usb drive for my linux all the time
[14:49] <soundray> Achoth: yes -- it's possible in principle, but you have to consider the limited write cycles of flash memory

[14:51] <Rabbitbunny> okay, got my video driver fixed. Now to get it to use the correct video modes for my monitor.
[14:51] <soundray> Achoth: flash memory cells go bad after a certain number of write operations. Then they are lost to the total capacity. You shouldn't store temporary files or use swap space on a flash device for this reason.
[14:51] <STSX> pdub: No, fstab uses different syntax. Before I give you an idea how to do it, how about pastebinning your fstab file?
[14:52] <Achoth> soundray: So you would recommend I use a CF memory instead?

[14:53] <mateus> hello, I'm trying to "apt-get install wine" but i've got this error:"E: Não foi possível abri arquivo de trava /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permissão negada)
[14:53] <mateus> E: Impossível criar lock no diretório de listas
[14:53] <mateus> "
[14:53] <paruchuri> i am using ubuntu in my laptop
[14:53] <hong> hello
[14:53] <soundray> squirkey, Achoth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory -- section Memory wear
[14:53] <mateus> it is like "It wasnt possibal to open the lock (12-permission denied"
[14:53] <paruchuri> in that wireless is not working correctily\
[14:53] <Achoth> soundray: The machine I'm building can't have any moving parts. Are there any storage devices without moving parts that doesn't have this problem?
[14:53] <mateus> does anyone knows what is it?
[14:53] <pdub> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15080/
[14:53] <Amaranth> mateus: You need sudo apt-get install wine
[14:53] <mateus> Okay, thanks ill try
[14:54] <paruchuri> can any one help me in this problem
[14:54] <AcornAcorn> How do you change what icons appear in the notification area?
[14:54] <janet> anyone knows how to change the link of checking audio data base in rythmbox?
[14:54] <mateus> It worked =)
[14:54] <mateus> thank uy
[14:54] <Gr3yW0lf> pacuri.. solid state disks
[14:54] <Gr3yW0lf> paruchuri,
[14:54] <soundray> squirkey, Achoth: you can use flash for root and home, just avoid using it for swap and temp storage.
[14:54] <paruchuri> yes
[14:54] <Gr3yW0lf> paruchuri, solid state disks have no moving parts
[14:54] <andy56_uk> sudo (and a few other apps) seems to have stopped working after an automatic update to 8.04 32bit.  New to Linux and Ubutntu, so maybe I'm just being dumb!  Anyone able to help please?
[14:55] <paruchuri> i didnt get u
[14:55] <soundray> !install | Achoth, this page has links to help docs on installing to USB media
[14:55] <Achoth> soundray: Alright, thanks
[14:55] <squirkey> soundray: does that mean that using them as live CDs are a bad idea?
[14:55] <janet> anyone knows how to change the link of checking audio data base in rythmbox?
[14:56] <paruchuri> i am using hp compaq nx6310
[14:56] <soundray> squirkey: no. Live CDs, by their very nature, are read-only
[14:56] <paruchuri> in that i am facing lots of problems with wireless
[14:56] <Lynet> Achoth: And on flash-type media you should avoid using journalling file systems (e.g., ext3).
[14:56] <STSX> pdub: Wait--is that really the fstab on your Ubuntu partition? Or are you on a LiveCD right now?
[14:57] <pdub> this is my fstab on ubuntu 8.0x
[14:57] <soundray> andy56_uk: what happens when you try to use sudo?
[14:58] <Wires> hey, I've got a whopper of a problem.. I did a fresh install of ubuntu because I messed up my old one partitioning.. well I reinstalled ubuntu, but then when I got into the os and went to login to root, it wouldnt work.. so I reinstalled again.. and it still, does not work
[14:58] <Wires> help? lol
[14:58] <ragsagar> hm
[14:58] <Myrtti> Wires: there should be a root account to login with
[14:58] <pdub> is it wrong??
[14:58] <Wires> I'm trying
[14:58] <soundray> Wires: "does not work" is an insufficient problem description
[14:58] <Wires> my password is not working
[14:59] <Wires> I know it's correct
[14:59] <Myrtti> Wires: shouldn't be, meant to say
[14:59] <vbabiy-laptop> Hey what should I do if after the kernel update it broke my virtual box it says i need virtualbox-ose-modules-generic which is installed
[14:59] <andy56_uk> Probably gksudo.  Trying to update applications just hangs without asking for password, doing gksudo gnome-terminal shows wait cursor then dies, using sudo in terminal to run a shell script with parameter says script file doesn't exist.
[14:59] <JuJuBee> Can someone help me with resolution on external monitor with my laptop dual-head setup?
[14:59] <Wires> the root password should be the password I initially put in when installing ubuntu, correct?
[15:00] <JuJuBee> I need 1280x1024 but only see 1024x768
[15:00] <soundray> andy56_uk: try 'sudo ls'
[15:00] <Myrtti> there is no root account to login with
[15:00] <Pici> Wires: No, that the sudo password.  The root password is locked.
[15:00] <robg_> Wires: you install with a user account
[15:00] <Myrtti> Wires: put your own user name and your own password
[15:00] <Wires> ok, let me go try sudo
[15:00] <vbabiy-laptop> http://pastebin.com/m22d0ced5 here is some info
[15:00] <Myrtti> Wires: noo
[15:00] <Wires> no I'm going to typ su in the terminal
[15:00] <Myrtti> Wires: just put your own username and password
[15:00] <Wires> and put the password in
[15:01] <Myrtti> don't enable root
[15:01] <Wires> it doesnt work anyway
[15:01] <andy56_uk> sudo ls comes back with 'unable to resolve host <computer name>'
[15:01] <Pici> !sudo | Wires please read
[15:01] <soundray> !hostname | andy56_uk
[15:01] <Wires> !sudo
[15:01] <Wires> !sudo
[15:02] <Wires> didnt see it before, my bad
[15:02] <soundray> andy56_uk: if you can't fix /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts due to sudo not working, you will need to reboot into recovery mode. Do you know how to do that?
[15:02] <tarab> there's too many gues, why?
[15:02] <gumpish> gedit is poo. Is there a nice lightweight editor (with a GUI) that has regex support? (Or is there a gedit plugin that provides this?)
[15:03] <incorrect> gumpish, emacs?
[15:03] <incorrect> gvim
[15:03] <Wires> I see
[15:03] <Wires> thanks.
[15:03] <STSX> pdub: I could tell you what to add to mount your windows partition, but I've not seen an fstab like yours: "/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / ext3 loop,errors=remount-ro 0 1" for your Ubuntu partition it looks like. I think you better get some other people to look at your fstab first, because I don't want to advise you when it doesn't look like the syntax I've ever seen.
[15:03] <incorrect> personally i use cat and sed
[15:03] <Wires> is there a way to enable root though?  just out of curiousity
[15:03] <Slart> gumpish: scite supports regexps for searching, if that is what you want
[15:03] <Lynet> pdub: Is this wubi? That fstab is unlike any I've seen before.
[15:04] <robg_> Wires: is possible but not advised.
[15:04] <microwaver> Is there a way to go back to you default install without reinstalling it?
[15:04] <microwaver> Like you have restore points in windows ?
[15:04] <pdub> its the new ubuntu.. that was jsut released
[15:04] <STSX> Can some other people here please check out pdub's fstab? I'm not familiar with this type of configuration: it's at http://paste.ubuntu.com/15080/
[15:04] <Myrtti> pdub: how did you install the ubuntu?
[15:04] <pdub> i downloaded it, burned it to a cd, installed it in the windows xp environment and restarted and it was set for dual boot for xp and ubuntu
[15:05] <pdub> im not running off of the live cd
[15:05] <soundray> microwaver: no -- reinstalling is so quick that any effort to implement this would be largely wasted
[15:05] <Myrtti> so it's a wubi installation then
[15:05] <pdub> not sure what a wubi installation is?
[15:05] <Slart> STSX: never seen anything like it.. wubi?
[15:05] <microwaver> soundray, it's actually, my themes and stuff are fcked up
[15:06] <Lynet> pdub: wubi is "installed it in xp".
[15:06] <pdub> yea, its wubi then
[15:06] <soundray> !language | microwaver
[15:06] <microwaver> soundray, that wasn't meant to be.
[15:06] <simplexio> how i configure X in hardy when stypid X isnt working
[15:06] <STSX> pdub: You should have mentioned it was wubi to begin with. :)
[15:06] <Slart> simplexio: edit the stypid xorg.conf of course
[15:06] <simplexio> there is no xconfigure or xconf
[15:06] <pdub> :( sorry didn't know it made that much of a difference
[15:07] <Myrtti> STSX: we were asking wrong questions
[15:07] <genii> simplexio: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:07] <simplexio> genii: didnt help
[15:07] <coobe> anyone uses TI Derive under Ubuntu ?
[15:07] <andy56_uk> After sudo complains about the hostname, it then asks for my password, then lists directory as expected.  Trying to do 'hostname <hostname>' from a terminal tells me I need root access.  Can't open a terminal in root mode because of gksudo problem.  Safe mode entered from GRUB startup menu?
[15:07] <simplexio> i want that old system where i could select video driver
[15:07] <genii> simplexio: Choose vesa for driver
[15:07] <Myrtti> andy56_uk: so you booted to the recovery/safe mode from grub?
[15:08] <soundray> andy56_uk: yes, that would be recovery mode. If the sudo ls worked eventually, you may not have to go there, though. Just try 'sudo hostname <hostname>'
[15:08] <STSX> pdub: Well, I could give you the syntax to normally mount a ntfs (windows) partition, but I don't know if that's going to work in your Wubi fstab.
[15:08] <hak5fan> Hi all does anyone know where i can find the exact part of the windows licence which grants me the right to a refund if i do not agree with the licence?
[15:08] <PriceChild> !windows | hak5fan
[15:09] <simplexio> aah-- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg without option that xorg.conf offered
[15:09] <STSX> Slart, Myrtti: Any idea of the proper syntax to mount stuff with fstab in Wubi? :)
[15:09] <andy56_uk> 'sudo hostname <hostname>' says 'unable to resolve host <hostname>'
[15:09] <soundray> andy56_uk: okay, you will need to do this in recovery mode then.
[15:09] <Myrtti> STSX: after the installation is done, it should be handled the same way than any ubuntu's
[15:09] <pdub> STSX: well we might as well try it.. or im gonna be forced to mount the windows drive everytime :-/
[15:09] <Slart> STSX: absolutely no idea what so ever..  but there has to be some info about it somewhere.. canonical invented this little weirdo.. it had better send a manual with it =)
[15:09] <Lynet> pdub: It's not that bad. It is just that wubi does some tricks (instead of installing linux in separate partitions it creates a couple large files on your xp filesystem and then treats those files as the linux disk). Few of us use wubi, so your fstab looked unfamiliar to us.
[15:10] <hak5fan> PriceChild: I just asked here because someone might have some experience with that
[15:10] <genii> simplexio: Adding the -phigh to that command makes it for resolution settings only. Otherwise you get all the options of driver, keyboard, etc
[15:10] <andy56_uk> soundray: thanks for your help, will try now.  Myrtti: not tried yet - just about to.  Thanks to all, will be back later.
[15:10] <Myrtti> STSX: perhaps live cd, fiddle fstab from there...
[15:10] <pdub> would you recommend reinstalling ubuntu in a different way??
[15:10] <Myrtti> pdub: boot from the cd
[15:11] <Myrtti> wubi is a bit fresh
[15:11] <pdub> or will it be fine to work in like this.. im really just trying to get away from windows because im not a fan of vista. and figured this would be the best OS to do so
[15:11] <Myrtti> but we might get your problems fixed without you reinstalling
[15:11] <Myrtti> I have to go get some food, take care
[15:11] <STSX> pdub: Installing Ubuntu on a separate partition is really ideal, but we can deal with a Wubi install...
[15:12] <pdub> at some point im going to completely delete windows, i just don't know enough about ubuntu to do that yet
[15:12] <Lynet> Speaking of which.. pdub wants to mount his xp partition from a wubi linux install (i.e., same partition that has the linux disk image files). Will this cause any problems?
[15:12] <sing> ?
[15:13] <robg_> STSX: i view a dual-boot configuration as transitional.
[15:13] <Nitricacid> I want to play .mp3 files that are in my windows partition in linux. But when i try to access the drives in nautilus it says they cannot be mounted? Anyone know how to do this?
[15:13] <STSX> pdub: If you want to eventually get rid of Windows, I think putting Ubuntu on its own partition is really your best solution.
[15:13] <Devistator> hey
[15:13] <Devistator> where can I find ubuntu hacks????
[15:14] <Nitricacid> Devistator: what?
[15:14] <Wires> hey, I was asking about how to login to root earlier.. when I type su and then my password I can an auth failure
[15:14] <Nitricacid> Wires: sudo gedit
[15:14] <STSX> robg_: What do you mean? At least if pdub has it dual-boot he can easily get rid of Windows like he said he wants to eventually. With Wubi you can't do that, that I'm aware of.
[15:14] <pdub> ok, could you give me the command to mount windows everytime, if im going to reinstall i might as well try to enter something into the fstab
[15:14] <Devistator> Cool tricks on da computer, hacks where can I find them?
[15:14] <Wires> what does gedit do?
[15:14] <Nitricacid> Devistator: google.
[15:14] <Devistator> what should I search under?
[15:15] <Nitricacid> "ubuntu hacks"
[15:15] <Lynet> Devistator: ssh <IP_ADDRESS>. Same username/password as your own. Mess around and have fun with the poor pwned dude.
[15:15] <robg_> STSX: maintaining a dual-boot system becomes a pain-in-the-neck due to constant switching between OSes.
[15:15] <Nitricacid> or ubuntu tips + tricks
[15:15] <Wires> err that's a word processor
[15:15] <Devistator> wow, thanks
[15:15] <soundray> Wires: do not use su please. Use sudo <command> -- for example 'sudo nano' to open an editor as root.
[15:15] <Devistator> bbl
[15:15] <Nitricacid> I want to play .mp3 files that are in my windows partition in linux. But when i try to access the drives in nautilus it says they cannot be mounted? Anyone know how to do this?
[15:15] <soundray> Wires: for gedit and other graphical programs, use 'gksudo gedit' or similar
[15:15] <STSX> pdub: Hang on a minute...
[15:15] <Wires> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[15:15] <Wires> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[15:15] <Wires> that's why im trying to use su
[15:16] <bazhang> Devistator, lifehacker also
[15:16] <Wires> nvm...
[15:16] <Wires> sudo ./configure.. im retarded ;)
[15:16] <wers> i have to print my homework on a short bond paper but I do not know what paper size to set on openoffice.org. how does openoffice.org call a short bond paper?
[15:16] <Lynet> pdub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G#head-3c27b1fe906b037b438cebcdcdb702d0afa5bd3d
[15:16] <Wires> but if I would want to use su in the future.. why would su password give me auth failure?
[15:16] <Nitricacid> wers: you wrote a paper on james bond!?
[15:17] <Pici> Wires: Because the root account is locked by default.
[15:17] <robg_> wers: my experience with OpenOffice is that it automatically formats to the right size.
[15:17] <wers> Nitricacid, in our country, we call the size "short bond paper"
[15:17] <soundray> Nitricacid: if nautilus can't mount your Windows partition, it may not have been unmounted properly before. Boot Windows and do a clean shutdown.
[15:17] <wers> i don't know what to set on oo.o
[15:17] <Wires> ah yes, ok thank you
[15:17] <remoteCTR1> if i dont boot into gnome failsafe i get a all white screen after upgrading to hardy, any odeas please?
[15:17] <Devistator> tanks
[15:17] <Nitricacid> soundray: ok BRB
[15:17] <bob1122> Anyone use OSS4, oss doesnt appear as a selection in gnome sound applet
[15:17] <Lynet> Wires: sudo bash will give you a root shell. Ubuntu is sorta designed to force you to enter a password every time you want to change system stuff.
[15:18] <robg_> wers: I just type a letter into the default paper size and the printer returns a perfect letter.
[15:18] <jmacpherson> Wires: to switch to root use 'sudo su -'
[15:18] <Wires> ok.. now im getting configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[15:18] <soundray> !rootshell | jmacpherson
[15:18] <hoggie> Hey.. which application allows me to add subtitles to a movie? (to play it together and also to create a new file with vid+subtitles)
[15:18] <simplexio> has nyone has similiar problems with via s3 unichrome rev02, X starts but it stays blank. live cd did work but for somereson desktop was much bigger than screen
[15:18] <Wires> when trying to configure xchat
[15:18] <artcore> hi
[15:18] <Slart> jmacpherson: or sudo -s, or sudo -i (I think it's the recommended way for some reason)
[15:18] <soundray> !enter | wires
[15:18] <artcore> need help is a german channel anywhere?
[15:18] <HymnToLife> !b-e | Wires
[15:19] <soundray> !de | artcore
[15:19] <Wires> sorry
[15:19] <Lynet> Wires: sudo apt-get install build-essential?
[15:19] <artcore> thanks soundray
[15:19] <jmacpherson> however if dpkg is complaining about a locked folder it's usually because there's another apt (or synaptic or whatnot) process going on, like the fetch updates tool
[15:19] <soundray> Slart: because of the environment variables
[15:19] <STSX> pdub: Try adding this to your fstab file:
[15:19] <STSX> /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1
[15:19] <remoteCTR1> gawd dammit 1400 ppl in a chan and noone who knows how to fix a f***in graphics problem???
[15:19] <soundray> Lynet: please don't recommend sudo bash -- see ubottu ^^
[15:19] <HymnToLife> !patience | remoteCTR1
[15:20] <Slart> soundray: thanks.. I have to start writing this stuff down or something =)
[15:20] <bob1122> remoteCTR1, same ..been having a sound problem no ones responding on ubuntu forums either
[15:20] <wirelessdreamer> what command can i use with apt-cache, or a similar command to see the files provided by a given package?
[15:20] <Wires> install
[15:20] <TritonX> remote: probably your video card that doesn't support a function
[15:20] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: This is with nvidia graphics?
[15:20] <k1dugar> remoteCTR1: what is you graphic problem
[15:20] <hoggie> wirelessdreamer : try apt-cache search "bla"
[15:20] <remoteCTR1> jmacpherson: nope its a ati and it worked just fine until i upgraded to hardy
[15:21] <bob1122> 1. I cant select oss 4 in gnome sound menu, so i get no system sounds, 2. I get no sound in half life singleplayer, but 1.6 and HLDM work and have sound.
[15:21] <remoteCTR1> k1dugar: i get an all white screen after login since i upgraded to hardy
[15:21] <bob1122> For the second problem i must have bumped the topic on the ubuntu forum about 600 times
[15:21] <bob1122> still have yet to get a response
[15:21] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: I had issues (on nvidia) the fix was to remove xserver-xgl
[15:21] <wirelessdreamer> hoggie: search only checks package names, it doesn't say what files are provided, so i can't find where it gets installed to
[15:21] <remoteCTR1> xgl?
[15:21] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: upgraded driver, then reinstalled and was okay
[15:21] <Wires> ok, when configuring I get error 'coud not find glib'
[15:21] <soundray> bob1122: sure way to annoy people. Have you thought about restating/rephrasing your problem? Adding extra information?
[15:22] <Slart> bob1122: use aoss to run oss software with alsa..
[15:22] <remoteCTR1> jmacpherson: you mean from the nvidia site directly? i haven't tried tha tyet...
[15:22] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: Yeah, it was what I was using for the nifty bouncing graphics etc.
[15:22] <remoteCTR1> jmacpherson: is that a nvidia related thing or is that also there for an ati card?
[15:22] <bob1122> soundray: almost every bump I did updated the issue.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=796994 see for yourself
[15:22] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: No not from the nvidia site, but when I upgraded to Hardy, I got the white screen. The solution for me was to stop using the XGL xserver (which was providing me with the fancy graphics)
[15:22] <hoggie> wirelessdreamer : i didnt get what you wanna do? you want to check which pkg's need to be installed also when installing a specific pkg? or where its installed too?
[15:22] <Lynet> soundray: What would be dangerous with sudo bash compared to sudo -i? The RootSudo wiki says the second should be used but doesn't explain why as far as I can see.
[15:23] <bob1122> Slart: I removed alsa. u cant use OSS4 and alsa at the same time.. and OSS4 is the only thing that supports my sound card (Creative X FI)
[15:23] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: I am not sure, mine was nvidia but I *think* the problem applied to both
[15:23] <hoggie> Hey.. which application allows me to add subtitles to a movie? (to play it together and also to create a new file with vid+subtitles)??
[15:23] <bob1122> Slart: so I dont really have a choice between OSS and ALSA right now
[15:23] <remoteCTR1> jmacpherson: what fancy gafcs are you precisely relating to? i hope you dont mean compiz?
[15:23] <wirelessdreamer> hoggie: no i want th check what files get installed when i install a package, like where it puts its binaries and config files
[15:24] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: Yes compiz etc. but for some reason I also had the xserver-xgl package installed, removing this fixed the problem. ymmv
[15:24] <remoteCTR1> jmacpherson: in that case thanks for the hint dude i'll try that out!:)
[15:24] <bob1122> soundray: I have also posted on the WINE appdb, and some other forums , no one can help me fix it
[15:24] <Slart> bob1122: ah.. you're a creative-victim.. sorry to hear that.. well.. I don't really have anything more to add.. never played around with oss .. sorry
[15:25] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: I now have compiz running but do not have the xserver-xgl package installed
[15:25] <jmacpherson> remoteCTR1: Cool, good luck! (I understand the frustration! ;)
[15:25] <Daisuke_Ido> why would video be extremely slow and choppy in totem and mplayer, yet play fine in dragon player or vlc?
[15:25] <hoggie> wirelessdreamer : hmm.. i dont know how to check that.. i just know that usually u can find it in /usr/sbin /usr/share /sbin
[15:25] <Daisuke_Ido> gstreamer issues?
[15:25] <bob1122> Slart: yeah..it sucks.  But before OSS4 came out it was even worse, the only help I got was people saying "Just buy another sound card" like I can just pull 100 bucks out of my rear end
[15:25] <hoggie> !subtitles
[15:25] <soundray> Lynet: the difference is a sane environment. Most people would expect a full root environment when they see a # prompt. If you run sudo bash or sudo su or other root shell commands, your environment is incomplete, e.g. $HOME points to your user home instead of /root/
[15:25] <remoteCTR1> jmacpherson: hehe yeah after all i have now been googling for an hour and a half...
[15:26] <hoggie> how can i inject subtitles to a movie file??
[15:26] <soundray> bob1122: maybe there is no solution then
[15:26] <wirelessdreamer> hoggie: its a web app, but nothing got added to /var/www roundcube
[15:26] <bob1122> soundray: so im supposed to just deal with no sound?
[15:26] <jmacpherson> soundray: any idea of the difference provided by 'sudo su -' ?
[15:27] <Lynet> soundray: Ah. Gotcha. Kinda obvious really, facepalm moment on my part.
[15:28] <soundray> jmacpherson: there is none that I am aware of. But people are going to forget the - and run into trouble. That's why I support ubottu's stance on this: sudo -i for rootshells, anything else is of the evil.
[15:28] <legend2440> bob1122: is oss-compat installed?
[15:28] <jmacpherson> soundray: fair enough - old habits die hard :-) will read the man pages, thanks!
[15:28] <hoggie> wirelessdreamer : you know which command runs the application?
[15:28] <soundray> bob1122: you can always ask Creative better to support open source driver development
[15:29] <STSX> soundray: Please excuse the interjection, but I was following what you were telling Lynet; if I do "sudo su" and then "echo $HOME" it shows my home as /root, not my user's home directory. Did I miss something?
[15:29] <wirelessdreamer> hoggie: thats why i need to find out what it installs, no command runs it, its web browser based
[15:29] <hoggie> how can i inject subtitles to a movie file??
[15:29] <Silex> hi, how do I find out in which libghc6 package is `Control.Parallel.Strategies'
[15:29] <Silex> ?
[15:29] <Silex> apparently apt-get install ghc6 doesn't install it
[15:29] <wood> what about the Beagle?
[15:30] <bob1122> legend2440: I did a apt-get install..i guess it 2wasnnt installed, do I have to reboot my pc now?
[15:30] <hoggie> wirelessdreamer : whats the name of it? you cab find / -name <filename>
[15:30] <jmacpherson> STSX: Some variables won't be initialised properly - I'm not 100% sure of the differences but I know that sudo su - (or this sudo -i) is required to run your root login scripts properly
[15:30] <wirelessdreamer> hoggie: package is called roundcore-webmail
[15:30] <bob1122> soundray: I just read on the alsa site that creative has suipplied the alsa team with data sheets for the xfi and the card was delivered to the team, development work has started
[15:30] <legend2440> bob1122: not sure if you have to or not
[15:30] <Wires> I get this when configuring Warning: The GTK (GUI) frontend will not be built. what should I do?  I did apt-search'd for gtk and got nothing
[15:30] <Wires> er, I did apt-search rather
[15:31] <wirelessdreamer> hoggie: using find still won't tell me if it installed a file that doesn't have that name in it
[15:31] <jmacpherson> STSX: your /root/.bash_rc will NOT be run if you only 'sudo su'
[15:31] <soundray> STSX: indeed, it does here, too... This has changed from previous Ubuntu versions.
[15:31] <wirelessdreamer> hoggie: did you try apt-cache search subtitle? a big list comes up for it, i've never tried any of them before though

[15:33] <StrongMotive> didnt ask for THE best
[15:33] <bob1122> legend2440: yes I followed that thanks, its an exact copy of the post on the ubuntu forums that I followed
[15:33] <magnetron> StrongMotive: ubottu also asked you to not take polls
[15:33] <Shadow6363> is there any way to determine what flags were used to compile the apache package?
[15:33] <hoggie> wirelessdreamer : hmm im afraid i cant help you then, try googling for the same problem and see what the search produces, you can be amazed sometimes how a specific problem happens to another fraustrated buddy! and i didnt try it. cause i wanted to see which is recomended instead of trying them all before :) but thanks i think ill do that after all :)
[15:33] <bob1122> legend2440: Sound WORKS in amarok, WINE, anything with OSS drivers built in, but gnome sound applet doesnt show OSS as an option, so I get no system sounds
[15:34] <STSX> jmacpherson: Interesting, you could always ". .bashrc" if you need to I guess, or could you even ". .*" to try and run all .files? Just curious, since I've always wanted to know some of the subtleties of "sudo su" (would explain why things don't work sometimes as expected)>
[15:34] <Wires> I get this when configuring Warning: The GTK (GUI) frontend will not be built. what should I do?  I did apt-search gtk and got nothing
[15:34] <Lynet> STSX: Just did quick test. There are differences in at least COLOURTERM, PATH, DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY and some SUDO_* between sudo su and sudo su -
[15:35] <soundray> Lynet: did you look at the sudo -i environment, too?
[15:35] <STSX> Lynet: Interesting... what if you do like I suggested to jmacpherson and manually run all the .files to initialize everything?
[15:35] <soundray> Lynet: the SUDO_* stuff is not that important, of course. XAUTHORITY could be, though
[15:35] <jmacpherson> STSX: yeah now I'm curious. try this, if you sudo -i, you get a root login and get dumped into /root/ as the current dir
[15:36] <jmacpherson> STSX: sorry hit enter... then try run an X app, it should work
[15:36] <jmacpherson> STSX: but if you sudo su - you will get a "cannot open display"

[15:38] <bazhang> Wires, it is apt-cache search not apt-search
[15:38] <babolat> then it's not for me, k1dugar
[15:38] <Wires> thats what I meant
[15:38] <STSX> jmacpherson: Yes, I've never really delved into the intricacies of the differences between sudo su, sudo -i, etc. And if you really want to complicate things, how gksudo handles environmental stuff differently than sudo. You know any good online references?
[15:38] <Wires> typed it wrong on irc

[15:39] <soundray> !gksu | STSX, here's one...
[15:39] <Lynet> STSX: My guess would be that gksudo maintains display/xauthority.
[15:39] <Wires> bazhand: any ideas?
[15:39] <soundray> STSX: although, as someone pointed out, if you're running firefox as root, you've got worse problems than the diff between sudo and gksudo...

[15:40] <Wires> bazhang*
[15:40] <bazhang> Wires, gtk frontend to what
[15:40] <STSX> Lynet: Yes, that would make sense. But have you ever run a shell terminal command with gksudo? gksudo handles stderr differently than sudo it seems.
[15:40] <legend2440> bob1122: what choices you have? alsa pulseaudio?
[15:41] <Wires> bazhang: xchat
[15:41] <lw0x15> anyone here uses xfce with ubuntu?

[15:41] <soundray> !xubuntu | lw0x15
[15:41] <bazhang> Wires, what is the exact issue with xchat
[15:41] <Wires> I've installed it in the past to a new installation of Ubuntu with no problems
[15:41] <andy56_uk> Update on sudo problem.  System was 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16 but seems to have been updated to 2.6.24-17.  Earlier kernel works, but later one doesn't.  From GRUB I chose the recovery boot mode, did 'Repair broken packages' and was able to do 'Drop to root shell prompt'.  Things still work in kernel -16 but not in -17.
[15:42] <bob1122> legend2440: http://pastebin.com/d29ce96b7
[15:42] <jmacpherson> STSX: the article posted is specific to graphical aps... so you wouldn't run any shell command with gksudo even if you took that as gospel

[15:42] <STSX> soundray: Yes, I wish it could be simpler quite frankly--unless I have some reference, I don't know how I would keep track of the differences between sudo, sudo -i, sudo su, gksudo, gksu, etc :)
[15:43] <bazhang> Wires, you are compiling xchat?
[15:43] <Wires> yes
[15:44] <soundray> STSX: as you can tell, I don't. I just got into the habit of using sudo -i, as this promises the fewest problems.

[15:44] <iop> List of Defeated Kings
[15:44] <iop>  1 These are the kings of the land whom the Israelites had defeated and whose territory they took over east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern side of the Arabah:
[15:44] <iop>  2 Sihon king of the Amorites,
[15:44] <iop>        who reigned in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge.from the middle of the gorge.to the Jabbok River, which is the border of the Ammonites. This included half of Gilead. 3 He also ruled over the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Kinnereth [a] to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea [b] ), to Beth Jeshimoth, and then southward below the slopes of Pisgah.
[15:44] <FloodBot1> iop: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:44] <soundray> !ops | iop
[15:44] <iop>        one of the last of the Rephaites, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. 5 He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, all of Bashan to the border of the people of Geshur and Maacah, and half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

[15:44] <pawan> hi
[15:44] <Lynet> Wires: Looks like you're missing some gtk-dev stuff. sudo apt-get build-dep xchat should pull in most/all of the -dev packages you need.
[15:44] <andy56_uk> soundray: Sorry, didn't try that yet, but it occurs in both kernel versions, so probably not a factor in the sudo problem.  sudo problem was highlighted when I tried to run VirtualBox and got 'VirtualBox kernel driver not installed.  ...  Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup''.  Note that VirtualBox still works in kernel -16.
[15:45] <squidly> hello. I did an update to 8.04 and I lost my /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d what package does that come from?
[15:45] <Wires> ok thanks - I will install from the repos (didnt think to search) but I'll try that Lynet
[15:45] <soundray> andy56_uk: you should really fix the hostname problem. It may have other consequences than just the sudo error.
[15:45] <Armada> I inserted a new 1TB HDD into my computer and partitioned it with gparted. But when I look in the drive, it says 46,8GB is in use. Does the ext3 filesystem really take up that much space?
[15:45] <zaggynl> heh
[15:46] <andy56_uk> soundray:  Ok, will do that now and come back later.
[15:46] <SwedeMike> Armada: are you sure it says 46 gig in use? or have you calculated that from amount of free space?
[15:46] <soundray> Armada: those are probably the reserved blocks
[15:46] <Lynet> Wires: apt-get build-dep is a great timesaver if you for some reason want to build from source instead of pulling the binary from repos. :-)
[15:46] <STSX> jmacpherson: I agree, but I'll give you a case where you would want to use gksudo to run terminal commands: say you are writing a bash script that you want to run from one of the Gnome menus, and need to run some commands as root, but you don't want the whole script run as root. If you put "sudo <cmd>" in the script, you won't be able to run the script since sudo has no terminal to ask your...
[15:46] <legend2440> bob1122: sorry out of ideas. you've probably tried more stuff than i could ever think of. have you tried channel #OSS?
[15:46] <STSX> ...password. So wouldn't it be nice if you could just gksudo the command and the nice spiffy GUI window comes up asking for your password?
[15:46] <bob1122> legend2440: thanks for the help, ill try that
[15:46] <ziod> hi all.  is there a way to force hardy to install the latest version of an application (e.g. f-spot, whose current stable release is 4.3.1 but installed hardy version is 4.2)?  I'm a linux noob, so don't yet fully understand the package update system yet...

[15:47] <fredh> Hi all. Today i suddenly got a message saying that i was using restricted drivers - VMWare kernel drivers. I don't understand where that came from. Anybody seen that or have any idea?
[15:47] <squidly> fredh: do you have vmware installed anywhere?
[15:47] <STSX> jmacpherson: That's an example from personal experience, not hypothetical... :)
[15:48] <coobe> need help with Derive under Wine !
[15:48] <fredh> squidly: Yep, the Player version, but I thougth only the "guest" os would need special drivers. Also it has been installed for at least a week, why "restricted drivers" now?
[15:48] <Lynet> STSX: Sounds like a feature request for sudo - if it has no terminal but has $display then pop up a gui password prompt.
[15:49] <bazhang> ziod, you could either add the proposed repos or compile yourself; this is highly unadvisable however.
[15:49] <squidly> fredh: vmware has to hook in to the kernel for hardware access.
[15:49] <squidly> that may be where it comes from
[15:49] <squidly> fredh: what does lsmod show?
[15:49] <WaxyFresh> Hi im having problems setting the path to java in opera. ive tried yelling at opera and it has no effect. does anyone have a better idea?

[15:50] <cjohnson> What do I do to mount a folder to another folder? For isntance, "sudo mount /media/Media/Videos /home/dmsuperman/Videos" complains that /media/Media/Videos isn't a block device
[15:50] <fredh> squidly: Oh ok. That sounds reasonable. I just don't get why. Sorry can't lsmod right now, since I am at work. I will try when I get home this evening. What should I look for?
[15:50] <STSX> Lynet: Yes, I agree. But I found an easy workaround: "gksudo true && sudo <command to run>" which basically let's gksudo ask for your password, and then let's sudo do the dirty work since you just entered your password.
[15:50] <WaxyFresh> How do i see a list of all running proceses?
[15:50] <jmacpherson> STSX: Fair point - and good example. Had forgotten that I have done the same myself (to mount NFS shares at work). Though I guess it's never been an issue for me because the script run from the gksudo handled it's own environmental issues (or ignored them by using absolute paths!)
[15:50] <soundray> cjohnson: use a symbolic link instead (man ln)
[15:50] <Armada> soundray: it's a new drive that is only going to contain data, no programs at all. What is the absolute minimum? 1%?
[15:50] <bob1122> WHeres a good starting point for programming in linux?  I kno a small amount of C++
[15:50] <squidly> fredh: look for anything with the name vm* in it
[15:50] <cjohnson> soundray, Is there a particular reason to use a symbolic link?
[15:50] <Pici> WaxyFresh: ps aux
[15:51] <jmacpherson> STSX: Oh, how premptive laziness has saved me time and time again!
[15:51] <squidly> fredh: 10-1 its got some networking and sound, and usb
[15:51] <squidly> it may have more as well
[15:51] <cjohnson> soundray, I've done it with a folder to folder before, and it just seems to be a bit more flawless (for example ls -al will show it as a folder, as opposed to a folder linking to another folder)
[15:51] <Lynet> fredh: The host OS needs some vmware drivers for vmware to run. lsmod should show at least vmnet, vmblock, vmci and vmmon.
[15:51] <ziod> bazhang, soundray, ubottu: thanks!  I'll check out backports...
[15:51] <STSX> jmacpherson: :)
[15:51] <Lynet> fredh: At least, those are the ones vmware workstation 6.5 beta installs on my hardy.
[15:51] <bazhang> ziod, one of us is a bot :)
[15:52] <soundray> Armada: I'm sure you can set it to 0, but don't do it before you know why ext2/3 has this reserved blocks feature.
[15:52] <squidly> Lynet: correct. I have not used vmware for a while
[15:52] <Khisanth> cjohnson: there are mount options, --bind, --rbind, --move depending on your needs
[15:52] <amorphous_> hey guys
[15:52] <Armada> soundray: to reserve space for the root so it can write to the disk even when it's full, right?
[15:52] <soundray> cjohnson: you can always mount a device twice, but you have to call it by the block device name, not by the existing mount point
[15:52] <fredh> squidly: Cool, will do. Thanks a lot.
[15:52] <fredh> Lynet: Thanks I just get a little paranoid when stuff like that pops up when I didn't take any action (well I did install, but nothing happened for over a week)
[15:52] <soundray> Armada: yes

[15:53] <bazhang> !usb | the_eraser

Then it ran past Hezron up to Addar and curved around to Karka. 4 It then passed along to Azmon and joined the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the sea. This is their [c] southern boundary.

[16:04] <Lynet> Bracki: There are no true and tested procedures for in-place upgrade from some-linux-distro to ubuntu. The easiest way is probably to backup /home (and whatever other files you want to keep) and do a clean install of Ubuntu.
[16:04] <m-c> jmacpherson: thanks!!
[16:05] <ubuntuisloved> i cant seem to kill off an app that has semi crashed? i tried as root kill -9 but it just wont kill any other command im unaware of to really kill this app
[16:05] <UBUNTUJAY123> still cant get tunderbird to work
[16:06] <jamey-uk> I can only write to my HFS Plus partition as root, how can I get it to work for regular users too?
[16:06] <soundray> ubuntuisloved: if kill -9 doesn't help, only rebooting will.
[16:06] <UBUNTUJAY123> it askes for a password now when trying to send email though
[16:06] <UBUNTUJAY123> and i put it in and it keeps asking for it
[16:06] <UBUNTUJAY123> and i know its right
[16:06] <k1dugar> Bracki: I once moved from debian to ubuntu. Well it worked but took really long since everthing have to download again
[16:07] <dbarnett> if kill -9 doesn't work then the processes is stopped and will be killed the next time the cpu encounters it
[16:07] <jmacpherson> ubuntuisloved: which app? generally kill-9 should work, but sometimes the process has a different name to what you expect. (e.g. could be a python script) also try killall -9 <processname> (or do as soundray suggests)
[16:07] <yamanickill> what is this busybox thing my computer booted into? i cant get it into ubutnu
[16:07] <Balachmar> Hi, I just changed mount options on my usbdisk and now it won't mount anymore. How can I reset this?
[16:07] <yamanickill> ubuntu*
[16:07] <m-c> jmacpherson: should I be able to "spin the cube" by default ?
[16:08] <ubuntuisloved> ahh found it guys ....xkill does the trick? not sure why
[16:08] <the_eraser> i cant open /etc/mtab. surely this must be something wrong?
[16:08] <jmacpherson> m-c: I think the default is "desktop wall" which allows ctrl+alt+<arrow key> to slide between virtual desktops
[16:08] <jamey-uk> I can only write to my HFS Plus partition as root, how can I get it to work for regular users too?
[16:08] <jmacpherson> m-c: the compiz settings app will allow you to enable the cube instead
[16:09] <m-c> jmacpherson: the shortcut is not functioning right now... maybe I need to install that package first?
[16:09] <yamanickill> could a wonky RAM connection create a kernel panic{
[16:09] <soundray> jamey-uk: I have no specific information on hfsplus, but you could make a directory inside the filesystem with group write permissions and a group that all your users belong to
[16:09] <nuambenzina> hello, i just did an ubuntu install and I get an Grub Error 17 coud someone help? The first primary master hdd is 80 G with xp on it with the xp-`s MBR (witch I wish to remain untouched) and second one is with Ubuntu and fc
[16:09] <ubuntuisloved> soundray, actually xkill killed it from xscreen but the dang thing is still running...time to reboot
[16:09] <soundray> jamey-uk: or you could explore the umask, uid and gid settings that that particular filesystem driver offers (probably described in man mount or man hfsplus)
[16:10] <m-c> just wish there was a manual for the default compiz configuration.  I am not wanting to load anything extra, just to know what is already enabled.
[16:10] <Greencoat1982> Did anyone else have their display setting jacked up after running yesterdays updates?
[16:10] <jmacpherson>  m-c: someone correct me if I'm wrong but you should get at least the wall running if you go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and select either "Normal or Extra"
[16:11] <m-c> jmacpherson: just checked again, and Extra is enabled here
[16:11] <yamanickill> could a wonky RAM connection create a kernel panic?
[16:11] <snoop> hello, somebody can help me with a library permission problem. I have openldap and the process deb4.2_recover call lib but the lib is forbiden for any user, anyone have an idea?
[16:11] <jmacpherson> m-c: yeah that's the best I know. but if you install the app, it won't enable anything extra unless you tell it to, but you can see from the app what is currently enabled and what the shortcuts are
[16:11] <m-c> jmacpherson: wish that "Help" button worked on that GUI page, that'd be the place to describe the functions
[16:11] <soundray> yamanickill: yes
[16:11] <jmacpherson> m-c: fair complaint though :)
[16:11] <moe_> H
[16:12] <m-c> jmacpherson: thanks again for your advice
[16:12] <jmacpherson> m-c: no problems, good luck!
[16:12] <moe_> Good afternoon!
[16:12] <jamey-uk> How do I make my HFSPlus partition writable by normal users, not just root?
[16:12] <soundray> jamey-uk: what was the problem with my replies?
[16:12] <yamanickill> soundray: if i were to take out the RAM from the slot, could it still do it?
[16:13] <legend2440> the_eraser: right click mtab choose properties>open with select text editor
[16:13] <moe_> How do I prevent my ubuntu from hard-freeze with the new kernel? Problem is caused imho by the b43 driver
[16:13] <Lynet> yamanickill: Wonky ram can cause all sorts of random problems, inkluding kernel panics.
[16:13] <soundray> yamanickill: it depends on the exact nature of the fault. BTW, don't remove RAM from a running system (not sure if you were going to)
[16:13] <moe_> first connection ist lost, then my keyboard freezes and then the whole system halts
[16:13] <kane> yeah thats bad
[16:14] <andy56_uk> soundray:  Started up kernel -16 and edited hosts to ensure the expected machine name was in there.  The sudo and gksudo problems now seem to have gone away in kernel -17, though the VirtualBox driver problem still occurred.  As I now have root access, I was able to fix this.  Thanks very much for your help, and now the question we all hate.  Any idea why in incorrect host name would affect sudo in kerynel -17?
[16:14] <gub> heh
[16:14] <jamey-uk> soundray: sorry, missed them, thanks. But I'd like to make the whole HDD writeable (or at least by my normal user account). I have it listed in fstab and can successfully mount and unmount it based on those settings
[16:14] <yamanickill> soundray: i just broke one of my RAM slots and whenever i boot anything, it has a kernel panic
[16:14] <soundray> jamey-uk: see my second reply
[16:15] <soundray> yamanickill: it may be a deep-seated electrical fault on your mainboard
[16:15] <jmacpherson> yamanickill: I believe the memtestx86 is still shipped on the ubuntu cds (and is a boot menu option).  run that test and see if it confirms your issue.  If it fails without the RAM even installed, then you could be in for some bad news
[16:15] <soundray> andy56_uk: incorrect host names always affect sudo
[16:16] <andy56_uk> yamanickill: the memtest utility is available on the installation CD on the startup menu.
[16:16] <jamey-uk> soundray: i'm working on a large 26in TV, sorry i missed them ;) will look into umask, uid and gid, thanks
[16:16] <daddy> hello i need a help
[16:16] <mouz> Hi all. I installed an unsupported package using synaptic. It hang during the postinst script. Where can I report that fact?
[16:16] <andy56_uk> soundray:  Thanks again, and will bear that in mind in future.
[16:16] <daddy> i have ubuntu (8.04) and i can't open my modem ( PLANET ADU 2110A USB ADSL ) help
[16:17] <robg_> daddy: normally an Ubuntu install should do an automatic DHCP.
[16:18] <bazhang> daddy, open a terminal and type ifconfig
[16:18] <tzd> was there a kernel update or something similar the past 2-3 days please?
[16:18] <bazhang> tzd yes
[16:18] <daddy> now i can't becaue i m in house's freind
[16:18] <Lynet> tzd: -17.
[16:19] <tzd> bazhang: i see. I automatically upgraded to that one and now my computer loads constantly whn running on that new kernel?
[16:19] <bazhang> daddy, come back when you can troubleshoot the machine directly
[16:19] <yorky501> hi need help. I am having kernel problems since upgrading to version 8.04. pc fails to boot frequently and gives error acpi read timeout anyideas ?
[16:19] <tzd> Lynet: yep that's the one, thx
[16:19] <dkT> Anyone familiar with installing vmware server (latest) on ubuntu 8.04?
[16:20] <soundray> daddy: not all USB ADSL modems are supported. See if your modem has an Ethernet interface for internal connections (aside from the WAN port). If so, use that instead of the USB connection
[16:21] <daddy> soundray ok but
[16:21] <daddy> soundray you can't tell me driver or other file ?
[16:21] <bob1122> hey soundray: remember that issue I was tellin u guys about before..well I checked "Driver emulation" under audio in wine and no sound works in hl1 single player
[16:21] <yorky501> anyone able to help with kernel issues?
[16:22] <irodders> I can't seem to identify any blank dvd+rw discs inserted, any one has any ideas?
[16:22] <tzd> will try to boot up in the previous kernel and see if that helps, pretty sure it has to do with that new kernel :/
[16:22] <tzd> brb
[16:22] <soundray> daddy: if that's not an option, try to identify the line in the output from 'lsusb' that corresponds to your modem. It contains a USB ID -- do a web search on that ID and "ubuntu"
[16:22] <yamanickill> ahhh i think i've fixed it soundray...i think it just wasn't in properly...schoolboy error lol
[16:22] <magnetron> how do i a modify the pulseaudio settings? i heard that pulseaudio support per-application sound levels
[16:22] <soundray> bob1122: great, well done!  I made a mistake like that once
[16:24] <WelshDragon> Hey. I'm looking into to buying a video capture card in order to hook my sky box up to my laptop, so I can watch TV on it. Anyone know of any captures cards which working on ubuntu?

[16:24] <legend2440> irodders: i cant either. when i load blank dvd rw it doesn't load and brasero says no disc. cd's, dvd's cdrw's work fine
[16:24] <irodders> yeah, used to burn using 6.06LTS now with 8.04LTS it doesn't work even with dvd+rw-tools loaded
[16:25] <yusuo> hey im having trouble getting audio running in video files
[16:25] <yorky501> has anyone else had problems with the new kernel in 8.04
[16:25] <irodders> blank dvd+rw is ok, dvd+r is the problem.  I spotted the problem with my old script files, it can't be read with windows machines
[16:25] <soundray> bob1122: I think Ubuntu is abandoning esd for pulseaudio... In any case, if Creative are cooperating on the XFi drivers now, you shouldn't have any more problems in future Ubuntu versions.
[16:25] <legend2440> irodders:  exact same experience here. i dont know maybe my burner is getting too old or something. i dont have windows installed so i cant see if it works under windows or not
[16:26] <cgentry72> i cannot sudo anything, says unable to resolve hostname
[16:26] <soundray> !hostname | cgentry72
[16:26] <irodders> it will read burnt dvd+r from other machines ok
[16:26] <soundray> cgentry72: boot in recovery mode to apply the fix ^^
[16:26] <irodders> somewhere some setting is missing from the old dvd+rw-tools
[16:26] <cgentry72> soundray: ok thanks
[16:27] <legend2440> irodders: oh my problem is different. dvd rw's are the ones mine won't read or load
[16:27] <bob1122> how do i change ubuntu forum thread title to say SOLVED
[16:27] <WaxyFresh> is there an advanced GUI app for editing startup files/deamons/programs? if theres not an advanced one i could use anything. i seam to recall a appwith the word dog in it?

[16:28] <gustavonarea> Hello, everybody. Where can I learn about the advantages of Ubuntu Hardy vs Gutsy on the server? I have a server running Gutsy and I'd like to know if I should upgrade. Thanks in advance.
[16:28] <soundray> bob1122: if you don't get a response here, try #ubuntuforums
[16:29] <irodders> legend2440, Have you installed dvd+rw-tools ?
[16:29] <legend2440> bob1122: you got it working?
[16:29] <soundray> gustavonarea: the main benefit is probably the five years of support
[16:29] <soundray> !lts | gustavonarea
[16:29] <bob1122> legend2440: yes, I had to check "driver emulation" in the wine audio tab
[16:30] <legend2440> bob1122: great
[16:30] <nuambenzina> can someone help me out with Grub?
[16:30] <bob1122> legend2440: that was to fix half life, to fix system sounds i had to install ESD
[16:30] <soundray> !grub | nuambenzina
[16:30] <legend2440> irodders yes dvd+rw is installed
[16:30] <bob1122> legend2440: thanks for the tip about the #oss room, they solved this issue
[16:30] <vincenz> Hello, how do I install the 32 bit version of a package alongside the 64bit one that is already installed?
[16:30] <gustavonarea> soundray: but there's no other noticeable enhancement?
[16:30] <nuambenzina> I can't boot the system
[16:30] <Lynet> yorky501: Which pc do you have? laptop? sony vaio?
[16:31] <yorky501> lynet i do indeed have a sony vaio
[16:31] <nuambenzina> soundray 10q
[16:31] <soundray> gustavonarea: I'm sure there are, but I'm not informed...
[16:31] <legend2440> bob1122: is esd a package in synaptic?
[16:31] <vincenz> Basically I want python2.4 in 32bit version on my computer which has the 64bit installed, how would I go about doing this?

[16:32] <utab_> hi there, I was trying to upgrade my system to 8.04, during the upgrade close to the end, I got some errors and the upgrade
[16:32] <utab_>           aborted, after that I made a restart guessing that system could have been broken, and yes now the system does not reboot, any
[16:32] <utab_>           ideas
[16:32] <yorky501> lynet : you had this problem?
[16:32] <kekkkk> how to troubleshoot an extremely slow ftp connection (comes down to 0.5kB/s while it could be 120kB/s) when I know the problem is not the server I'm connecting to?
[16:32] <icqnumber> ppl what irc client can you recomend me? i'm using konversation at the moment
[16:32] <Lynet> yorky501: I just searched for your problem in the ubuntu bug database. ;-)
[16:32] <bob1122> legend2440: i had to do a sudo apt-get install..h/o let me find the package names

[16:33] <utab_> how may I start my system in text mode
[16:34] <soundray> utab_: just once, or always?
[16:34] <bob1122> legend2440: it had to have been ESD because as soon as I installed it, then logged out and back in to restart gnome, I heard the ubuntu startup music for the first time
[16:34] <Lynet> yorky501: There are a couple work-arounds listed in that bug report. It is related to some timing issue, so even just removing "quiet splash" from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst might make it work most of the time for you.
[16:34] <utab_> soundray, did you read my previous post, the problem is that upgrade to 8.04 broke my system

[16:55] <l0rddrag0n> this is so frustrating i was just starting to enjoy Ubuntu and to get it to look the way i want.  I beliave every thing messed up yesterday when i tried to install a moddified gdesklets deb from the forums to work with hardy
[16:55] <soundray> LordMetroid: you mustn't think of it as one of them containing the 'real data'. That's only with symbolic links.
[16:56] <LordMetroid> So how do I know which are seperate and unique files?
[16:56] <c1|freaky> hi all. how do i delete an entry in the places menu which i added myself?
[16:56] <soundray> LordMetroid: they all contain the real data, and the real data will be there until you delete the last link.
[16:56] <yasser> if i do encrypted installation.....will ppl be able to access my files wid puppy linux ior knoppix?
[16:56] <Silex> hi, how do I install ghc 6.8.1 when aptitude wants to install 6.8.2?
[16:56] <c1|freaky> i mean, i added the entry myself not the menu ^^
[16:56] <Silex> apt-get install ghc=6.8.1 tells me it doesn't know about 6.8.1
[16:56] <soundray> LordMetroid: they are separate and unique files. They just happen to point to the same data

[16:58] <anks> I want to customize ubuntu hardy iso to include different packages and few restricted drivers, Is there any good documentation for me to start with
[16:59] <yasser> if i do encrypted installation.....will ppl be able to access my files wid puppy linux ior knoppix?
[16:59] <Slart> yasser: isn't the whole idea behind encrypted installs that they will not be able to access it?
[16:59] <ArthurArchnix> yasser: Not if you do it right.
[16:59] <patjee> sweet
[16:59] <irodders> anyone has any solutions to burning dvd+r disks using brasero in Hardy?
[16:59] <patjee> thanks kbrito
[16:59] <kbrito> :)
[16:59] <ArthurArchnix> irodders: They tend to fail for me unless I burn them at a really slow speed. No more than 3 or 5 max.
[16:59] <LordMetroid> soundray: Hmm, okay, thank you for the hlpe
[16:59] <WaxyFresh> Can anyone please help me with setting up java in opera,i have suns java and the java plugin installed and my path set up ?correctly? but still no luck

[16:59] <yasser> Slart: i dunno coz ive never done an encrypted install.....so if someone tries to access my partition wid puppy, wat will he see?
[17:00] <gordonjcp> !remaster | anks
[17:00] <legend2440> l0rddrag0n: your mime type associations got messed up i guess. maybe google "hardy restore mime types" or something like that
[17:00] <ArthurArchnix> irodders: You might want to try gnome-baker and see if you have more luck. It's also a very nice program.
[17:00] <irodders> they don't fail, brasero just doesn't recognise dvd+r blanks
[17:00] <ArthurArchnix> irodders: oh
[17:00] <patjee> how about ff3 link to xchat?
[17:00] <Slart> irodders: might depend on the hardware.. I've got an older 8x dvd burner
[17:00] <irodders> have even tried the growisofs, funny thing is that the same hardware worked for 7.10, 6.06
[17:00] <anks> gordonjcp, thnx for redirecting me to bot :)
[17:01] <c1|freaky> how do i install webdav support in ubuntu?
[17:01] <irodders> all i did was upgrade to hardy (or rather install hardy)
[17:01] <l0rddrag0n> its very frustrating. and im searching now
[17:01] <gordonjcp> anks: does it answer your question?
[17:01] <Slart> c1|freaky: install apache and the webdav module.. specify a folder as webdav enabled and you're done
[17:02] <c1|freaky> Slart, no i want to connect to some webdav now
[17:02] <anks> gordonjcp, now I got to read them, I hope it will be a lot of help
[17:02] <Lunar_Lamp> How can I stop DVDs from automatically playing when inserted?
[17:03] <patjee> how do i tell firefox3 to allow irc:// access to xchat?
[17:03] <Slart> c1|freaky: I've never seen a standalone webdav-client.. some apps use it for storage... lightning (thunderbird calendar addon) for example
[17:03] <irodders> Lunar_Lamp, there is a preference section on the top to stop that
[17:03] <c1|freaky> ok thanks
[17:03] <Lunar_Lamp> irodders: on top of what?
[17:03] <pawan> hi
[17:03] <irodders> Lunar_Lamp, System>Preferences>Removable drives and media
[17:03] <jbroome> c1|freaky: cadaver seems to be a webdav client
[17:03] <Lunar_Lamp> irodders: nope, not in there - there is no option for DVDs/CDs
[17:04] <irodders> oops, wait a bit
[17:04] <Lunar_Lamp> irodders: only cameras, PDAs, printers/scanners and input devices - it's where I was expecting to see it.
[17:04] <c1|freaky> ok thanks
[17:04] <irodders> Lunar_Lamp, prefered applications, remoe the program that plays the multimedia

[17:05] <Lynet> c1|freaky: Do a search for webdav in synaptic, there should be some webdav-clients in the repos.
[17:05] <Lunar_Lamp> irodders: erm, it's not opening in teh preferred application for multimedia at the moment...
[17:05] <c1|freaky> Lynet, it worked thanks

[17:07] <MrNaz> i'm trying to get skype working. the hardware is all working, i can hear myself in the laptop's internal mic, but for some reason skype does not seem to "hear" whatever the mic is feeding... i've definitely got the right input device selected in skype options.... anyone got any ideas where else i can check for problems?
[17:07] <Lunar_Lamp> irodders: found it! In nautilus: edit>preferences>multimedia.
[17:07] <Slart> kushal1: I have to agree with kbrito, I've used Devede to create dvd-movies with menu's and stuff.. it's nice
[17:07] <Lynet> krammer_: Define "clean". As in totally erase?
[17:07] <ghostscript> Which release of Ubuntu is supposed to have KDE 4 bundled?
[17:07] <krammer_> no
[17:08] <krammer_> more like defragging
[17:08] <Slart> !defrag
[17:08] <irodders> Lunar_Lamp, Hurray for you!!
[17:09] <Slart> krammer_: if you keep at least 5-10% free space, defragmentation won't be a problem

[17:10] <aptproxy> hi all, having problems with apt-proxy on 8.04.  I have a apt-proxy server setup (new setup on another box), when I try to grab updates I get 404 errors that files does not exist on any server.  http://pastebin.ca/1031093 (apt-proxy.conf)
[17:10] <Lycade> I'm having video issues on 8.04. When I had set my monitor and graphics card, it wouldn't save the settings at first, requiring that I set them each time I loaded ubuntu. On the last time I did it, the screen looked really bad, to where I can't see anything. When I did a reboot, Ubuntu loads the same way after login, to where I can't see anything. Is there a way to fix this without a reinstall?
[17:10] <kushal1> thank you very much
[17:11] <Lynet> acecase: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-fda2b476cbe51b911313b25d55e6bf70c6134b2b
[17:11] <kushal1> just to make sure, all I do in term is sudo apt-get install DeveDe , right
[17:11] <acecase> Lynet, thank you :)
[17:12] <l0rddrag0n> well thank you for all the help legend2400. i guess im going to be doing a reinstall tonight so it downloads updates while i sleep
[17:12] <ghostscript> Hi
[17:12] <daysleepr> hello all, i had a nice dual-screen setup going with nvidia-settings in 7.10.  i moved my setup to a new office, and when i booted up, the second monitor isn't recognized
[17:12] <ghostscript> when is KDE4 coming on Ubuntu
[17:12] <ghostscript> Sorry to repeat
[17:12] <daysleepr> its hooked up OK... i'm at a loss here... any suggestions?
[17:12] <l0rddrag0n> LOL least iv gotten really really good at installing the drivers for my windows mobile internet share
[17:12] <l0rddrag0n> :D
[17:12] <Slart> ghostscript: you can install kde4 right now, afaik
[17:12] <Slart> ghostscript: I think there are live-cd's with kubuntu using kde4 too
[17:13] <ghostscript> Oh
[17:13] <Slart> ghostscript: well.. at least there was before.. I tried it
[17:13] <ghostscript> But I had kubuntu
[17:13] <ghostscript> and I did a system  upgrade to
[17:13] <ghostscript> gutsy
[17:13] <ghostscript> But it still did not upgrade to kde4
[17:13] <ragsagar> did u select it from the login screen
[17:14] <ghostscript> Slart: Does it come with the live cd only?
[17:14] <Slart> ghostscript: I don't think they've upgraded the default to KDE 4.. but you can probably install it separately
[17:14] <Lynet> acecase: More specifically, the section "Resizing virtual disks" in http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html

[17:16] <jah> hi.. how would I easily uninstall firefox 3.xx and go back to 2.xx in ubuntu??

[17:17] <marco_> Thank to people to help me before

[17:17] <HymnToLife> Lycade: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[17:17] <HymnToLife> then restart X

[17:18] <Georgij> It can play games?
[17:18] <Slart> Georgij: slowly, yes..
[17:18] <HymnToLife> Lycade: if you can't access Ubuntu at all, it's not just a display problem you're having
[17:18] <[GUN]Wires> im trying to install a firefox theme, I've downloaded it and now I have a .jar file, what do I do with it?
[17:18] <inna> hi

[17:19] <marco_> I have no idea why... . the game is unreal tourment.
[17:19] <HymnToLife> Georgij: no
[17:19] <Slart> Georgij: there's no good alternatives to windows if you want to play the latest games ..
[17:19] <HymnToLife> please be more precise about what you want
[17:19] <Lycade> HymnToLife - I can get to the login screen, but after that, it seems to have improper display settings. The screen appears 'torn' and I am unable to view anything. However, the login screen is fine.
[17:19] <genii> jah: Uninstall package firefox-3.0                  then install package firefox-2
[17:19] <HymnToLife> Lycade: then Ctrl+Alt+F1 will bring you a text console, just login and run that
[17:19] <Slart> Georgij: wine will only work some of the time, on some of the games..vm's have problems with accelerated graphics and such..
[17:20] <Georgij> Ah

[17:20] <HymnToLife> Georgij: then you have no option but to stay with Windows
[17:21] <yezariael> anyone using a macbook here?

[17:22] <bullgard4> After upgrading to Hardy the lower right pane of Evolution E-Mail is missing. How to restore it at the expense ofthe upper right pane?
[17:22] <ePax> !ask
[17:22] <c1|freaky>  how do i save a session in gnome? and how do i remove bookmarks in the upper menu under places?
[17:23] <Lynet> Georgij: Using virtualization software like vmware or virtualbox, you can install a full Windows inside a "fake PC" that runs under linux. The problem is that some stuff (especially accelerated graphics) will be slow or not work at all. Using Wine you can run windows pograms directly in Linux. The problem is that Wine is not a 100% complete copy of windows, so some programs won't work properly.
[17:23] <ubuntuisloved> anyone using ubuntu can you load this page i cant seem to get it to find the plugin http://www.kidscreations.com/3dbuilder.cfm
[17:24] <Slart> ubuntuisloved: same here.. can't find the plugin

[17:25] <linkinxp> hey guys where is the screen to change the video drivers ????
[17:25] <agares> it does list the available networks...and even connects...but it doesn't show the signal strength
[17:25] <agares> andy idea?

[17:25] <meltingclock> im on dialup...and i have around 100mb of updates to d/l...if i use the update the manager to d/l a few files at a time, would this cause any probs?
[17:25] <meltingclock> minus one the in that msg, heh
[17:25] <sap> thanks ubuntuisloved
[17:25] <Lynet> sap: They are kinda sorta the same functionality wise. Virtualbox is easier to install on cutting edge/new distributions like Hardy.
[17:25] <hipodilski> I have one package which is marked as a hold package how to remove the hold
[17:26] <sap> thanks lynet

[17:27] <agares> tries google, ubuntu-forums, wireless-forums.... nothing
[17:27] <sap> interesting
[17:27] <ubuntuisloved> agares, shouldn't the strength be listed in the iwlist scanning command
[17:28] <sap> so if i wont to play condition zero
[17:28] <sap> what do i do
[17:28] <sap> want*
[17:28] <hackofchris> anyone help me install a linux driver for intel 945 downloaded from intel's site?
[17:28] <Xbehave> sap: install wine, install steam, play
[17:28] <linkinxp> hey guys where is the screen to change the video drivers ????
[17:28] <sap> oh wait look
[17:28] <sap> the prob is
[17:28] <ubuntuisloved> try Cedega  sap
[17:28] <agares> ubuntuisloved: i use the dropdown menu, roaming mode enabled
[17:28] <jah> is there any faster browser than firefox?
[17:29] <Lynet> agares: Google is probably your best bet. There are so many different wifi adapters around and ndiswrapper is kinda a hack so googling for your particular adapter and ndiswrapper is usually the best short for finding out how to make it work.
[17:29] <sap> i have wine i have the condition zero folder (not installed)just running
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !browsers
[17:29] <tseug> hello, i'm looking to buy a laptop, but not sure what are good brands?
[17:29] <sap> but it gets stuck when i join a server
[17:29] <jah> Jack_Sparrow: thanx but is anything as fast as firefox?
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> sap /join #winehq
[17:29] <chi11y> jah, I like Galeon too
[17:29] <sap> thanks
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jah Just try them for yourself
[17:30] <Xbehave> sap do other programs run fine? any hl1 games working?
[17:30] <agares> Lynet: i did...and i did get it to work..i'm online with it just now...but it doesn't show the signal strenght... the internal wifi device does though...
[17:30] <legend2440> irodders: in terminal   dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd        with dvd inserted what do you get for message?
[17:30] <tonewhy> hi, i have problem geting my sound blaster external card to work. when i test it in the sound menu it gives a tone. however when i try to play a sound file or anythin else, it doesn't produce a sound.
[17:30] <sap> sorry hl1????
[17:31] <sap> dint understand
[17:31] <anirudh0> can data be recovered from a scratched dvd?
[17:31] <sap> age of empires 2 works
[17:31] <meltingclock> i guess what i meant to ask is; if im downloading updates through the update manager...and my connection is lost, there shouldnt be a problem of corrupted files or anything of that nature, right? ie it wont try to install files that arent complete or try to install something without the dependencies already dled too, ?
[17:31] <anirudh0> cp does'nt work...gives "Input/Output error"
[17:31] <Lynet> agares: Unless someone here has the same adapter and has signal strength working, the only answer I can give you is "google for it". Sorry. :-/
[17:31] <meltingclock> that was a mouthful
[17:31] <agares> Lynet: ;(( tnx anyway...
[17:32] <kekkkk> how to troubleshoot an extremely slow ftp connection (comes down to 0.5kB/s while it could be 120kB/s) when I know the problem is not the server I'm connecting to? I use firestarter as my firewall front end and disabling the firewall doesn't change anything. it's not my router, as I can upload files fine from another computer on the same network. I am, however, connecting to the router via wifi (broadcom card with ndiswrapper)
[17:32] <Xbehave> ahh in that case its probabl not caused by ubuntu and asking in wine is a good idea, just that they get pissed off when we send too many people over there, by hl1 i meant half life one engine games
[17:32] <linkinxp> hey guys where is the screen to change the video drivers ????
[17:32] <sap> no havnt tried
[17:32] <Lycade> HymnToLife:  Thanks, once more. I did the commands you provided, and now the system operates again.
[17:32] <tonewhy> can anyone help me with my external sound blaster soundcard?
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> meltingclock It should not be a prob, but can be fixed if something is glitched
[17:32] <sap> thanks Xbehave
[17:32] <Lynet> kekkkk: Does download from toher places work fine?
[17:32] <Lynet> kekkkk: Does download from other places work fine?
[17:32] <meltingclock> right on, thats a load off my mind
[17:32] <agares> Lynet:  oh another thing maybe... when i click on the icon with signal strength the name of the usb device is: Unknown USB vendor specific interface
[17:33] <kekkkk> Lynet, downloading yes, uploading I haven't been able to try
[17:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Xbehave It isnt our job to support wine, they have no reason to get upset
[17:33] <HymnToLife> Lycade: nice :)
[17:33] <sap> yeah and the usual reply just check the website as if we i dint already do that
[17:33] <hackofchris> what's the best irc client?
[17:33] <agares> Lynet: why doesn't it say Netgear wg111v3 when i installed it... i didn't reboot my pc ... u think it could help? ;D
[17:33] <linkinxp> where is the Video settings in Gnome??
[17:33] <Myrtti> !best | hackofchris
[17:33] <mysterycool> Hey.
[17:34] <Xbehave> Jack_Sparrow: when we cause the problem it is our problem, e.g with the realse of hardy apparmor was causing errors in wine, and they were right to be annoyed at us packaging wine but not having it work properly
[17:34] <mysterycool> I downloaded Celtx but there is now set up instructions or a configure file. Help please?
[17:34] <Lynet> agares: I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Dunno, really.
[17:34] <anirudh0> can data be recovered from a damaged dvd?
[17:35] <areels> depends on damage
[17:35] <mysterycool> anirudh0: no idea, but you could give a go at a computer shop. dont think you are much help on your own if you are not specialized on the subject.
[17:35] <mysterycool> =]
[17:35] <anirudh0> areels: cp from terminal does'nt work..Input/Output error
[17:35] <WaZ`> a computer shop wouldn't know anything about recovery...
[17:35] <mysterycool> :p
[17:35] <STSX> What are the different options for spiffying up the default Grub boot menu on startup? I heard there are grub splash screens, and are there any other boot loaders that look a little better than a DOS window?
[17:35] <jbroome> anirudh0: take a look at ddrescue
[17:35] <mysterycool> Lol, mine does...
[17:35] <anirudh0> mysterycool: not an option
[17:36] <areels> anirudh0 just try to clone dvd
[17:36] <stu> can anyone tell me what package I need to resolve this: Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
[17:36] <Xbehave> most of 'support' problems for wine are actually caused by the configs and conflics with other programs or drivers, most new users dont understand this end up in ubuntu where the 'supporter' arnt as noob friendly as here
[17:36] <Lynet> kekkkk: Trying to troubleshoot stuff like that can be very tricky. Could be everything from a bad network cable/config on the server to a semi-broken firewall/nat gateway between you and the server to....
[17:36] <areels> new one will run probably
[17:36] <saotome> I am trying to setup the compose key function so I can type accenteded characters in the same fashion I used to do in windows with the ALT + [Number]. I have followed the steps detailed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=295270 . Yet it doesn't seem to work. Would it have to do something with the fact that I am configuring KDE to do this, but I am using a GTK app? Help would be greatly appreciated.
[17:36] <tseug> I'm looking to buy a good, decent, ~$1000 laptop.  anyone have suggestions?  I'm clueless to what are good brands and models
[17:36] <pdub> could use some help installing beryl please, i have installed kde as required and now when i do a ./configure i get the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/15119/
[17:37] <bazhang> dell or system76.com tseug
[17:37] <stu> tseug: Asus usually provide good value
[17:37] <anirudh0> areels: err..could you explain a bit more please
[17:37] <saotome> tseug I would suggest the macbook. If you wanna go traditional PC, then get a Dell inspiron.
[17:37] <jbroome> !headers | stu
[17:37] <tseug> thanks
[17:37] <troythetechguy> Why does not command sudo echo "hello" > /dev/tty5 not prompt me for a password, and respond with "permission denied"?
[17:37] <ubuntuisloved> tseug, t61 ibm is nice with ubuntu
[17:37] <stu> thanks
[17:37] <aptproxy> anyone know what would cause this problem with apt-proxy: Bad URL /ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/multiverse/source/Sources.gz File does not exist on any server
[17:38] <kekkkk> troythetechguy, the permissions (read/write/execute) could be set to not allow writing
[17:38] <aegzor1> STSX: maybe this will work for you, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/
[17:38] <Xbehave> im trying to teach myself python but the documentation in kdevelop is broken and old, it takes any html, is there a pacakge in the repos or a good simply formated site i can use?
[17:38] <STSX> troythetechguy: For one thing, the redirect is not run as root, only the "echo hello" is run as root.
[17:38] <kbrito> Hello, is there a way to "lock" a gtk theme into gdm ? like Mist, Clealooks, etc... Everytime i restart, all I get is the Human theme.
[17:38] <Lynet> anirudh0: ddrescue is probably your best shot unless you can find a tool specifically for dvd rescue.
[17:39] <troythetechguy> STSX: How do I run the entire command as root?
[17:39] <stu> jbroome_ I already have that package
[17:39] <anirudh0> Lynet: lookig at it right now
[17:39] <anirudh0> Xbehave: docs.python.org has a very good tutorial
[17:39] <saotome> I am trying to setup the compose key function so I can type accenteded characters in the same fashion I used to do in windows with the ALT + [Number]. I have followed the steps detailed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=295270 . Yet it doesn't seem to work. Would it have to do something with the fact that I am configuring KDE to do this, but I am using a GTK app? Help would be greatly appreciated.
[17:39] <humbolt> I have problems sharing printers.
[17:39] <ragsagar> Xbehave: byte of python
[17:39] <anirudh0> Xbehave: written by guido von russum himself :)
[17:39] <atc_> hey.. I have a 500gb on which I use about 100gb.. now I want to shrink it 50gb without formatting it.. anyone with gparted experience on this? is it safe?
[17:39] <STSX> troythetechguy: To run the redirect as root too, you can do something like:     sudo bash -c 'echo hello > /dev/tty5'
[17:40] <linkinxp> can someone tell me where i can change the video drivers in Gnome??
[17:40] <babolat> please help. X window keeps crashing. i *think* it began after some update, when i've began seeing the nVidia logo before the logon screen.
[17:40] <aegzor1> troythetechguy: try sudo -s to make the session a root session
[17:40] <legend2440> tonewhy: do you have internal sound card? if so have you disabled it?
[17:40] <stu> you want to shrink a partition that uses 100GB to 50GB... er?
[17:40] <troythetechguy> Thanks.
[17:40] <aegzor1> then all commands will be run as root
[17:40] <saotome> linkinxp, what video card do you have?
[17:40] <STSX> troythetechguy: Or some people like to see the output too, so you could also do: sudo echo hello | sudo tee /dev/tty5
[17:40] <atc_> stu: no I want to shrink the 500gb with 50gb
[17:40] <kekkkk> Lynet, thanks for the input, I'll keep trying to narrow the problem down
[17:40] <Xbehave> thx
[17:40] <stu> atc_: but you said you are using 100GB of it ?
[17:40] <atc_> so it becomes 450gb
[17:41] <aegzor1> then use exit to exit root
[17:41] <atc_> yeah
[17:41] <linkinxp> saotome,  intel 945
[17:41] <stu> oh, shrink it by 50GB
[17:41] <STSX> aegzor1: Thanks much for that link, I'll check it out. :)
[17:41] <stu> what file system atc ?
[17:41] <atc_> yeah sorry
[17:41] <atc_> ext3
[17:41] <aegzor1> np
[17:41] <hackofchris> How do i install a new video driver?
[17:41] <stu> I am receiving this error message: Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
[17:41] <stu>  - I have linux-headers installed
[17:41] <stu> atc_ from previous experience it is safe yes
[17:41] <Lynet> kekkkk: Try to start by thinking about what is different between that server and some other server you are able to download from without problems.
[17:42] <anirudh0> Xbehave: for the next level, check out "programming python" by o'reilly
[17:42] <saotome> linkinxp, it's in the repo, by package name xserver-xorg-video-intel
[17:42] <aegzor1> stu: there is also a package called linux-sources if i remember correctly
[17:42] <kekkkk> Lynet, it seems that only uploading is the problem. my next step would be to see whether it makes a difference when I change my network device
[17:42] <humbolt> how do I share a printer via cups? I have sharing enabled, even printing from the internet. I can see the printer, and start a job, but it looks like it is never received!
[17:43] <stu> ill try that thanks
[17:43] <linkinxp> saotome,  i install it but its not selected i thinnk
[17:43] <babolat> please help. X window keeps crashing. i *think* it began after some update, when i've began seeing the nVidia logo before the logon screen. I have nVidia Geforce 6800
[17:43] <robg_> atc: you can shrink a partition by knibbling space of the empty side of the partition (the side that contains no data).
[17:43] <linkinxp> saotome,  i want to selecte it trough the visual way
[17:43] <hackofchris> How do i install new graphic driver for intel 945? I have downloaded the linux driver from intel, just dont know how to instal
[17:44] <linkinxp> hackofchris,  its already installed
[17:44] <linkinxp> just need to select it
[17:44] <linkinxp> but i forgot where
[17:44] <hackofchris> how do i select it?
[17:44] <stu> nope that package hasn't helped either
[17:44] <anirudh0> hi..i tried dd_rescue,and it mostly worked, but some files are damaged(all files are mp3's)..Does anyone know of a specific program to fix mp3's
[17:44] <hackofchris> i'm trying to play wow in wine, but my fps is really slow, they told me my driver is old
[17:44] <babolat> hackofchris: check in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[17:44] <aegzor1> stu: what are you trying to compile?
[17:45] <atc_> how about / on one hdd and /home on another.. will that setup be slow compared to / and /home on the same hdd but on two partitions?
[17:45] <Lynet> hackofchris: There is usually a readme included in the driver package that explains how to install it.
[17:45] <stu> aegzor1: ubuntu modules
[17:45] <hackofchris> it tells me "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system."
[17:45] <stu>  linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic
[17:45] <aegzor1> look in /usr/src if there's a symlink called linux
[17:45] <jah> are there any alternatives for pidgin???
[17:45] <robg_> atc: gparted operates outside Linux. It may also create empty space to which no OS has access.
[17:45] <echinos> notmany
[17:45] <echinos> jah: there are a couple ncurses ones
