[01:30] <dcordes> gautam: this is not what i was looking for
[01:31] <dcordes> reverseblade: i mean the ones for my session.
[01:31] <reverseblade> dcordes, the ones that start after you login gnome ?
[01:31] <gautam> livingdaylig, http://www.r-tt.com/
[01:31] <dcordes> reverseblade: exactly
[01:32] <gautam> anyways i'm off
[01:32] <gautam> later guys
[01:32] <reverseblade> dcordes, prolly somewhere around gconf-editor but why do you have to do from console ?
[01:32] <dcordes> reverseblade: cause i can't login :-)
[01:32] <dcordes> gnome
[01:32] <poolkey172> zim : use ncftp
[01:33] <reverseblade> dcordes, then why don't you fix it first ?
[01:33] <dcordes> reverseblade: that's what i'm trying man
[01:33] <poolkey172> zim : use ncftp : allows scripts
[01:33] <reverseblade> dcordes, can you specify the problem why you cannot login
[01:34] <suedoh> hi guys, im having some difficulties not being able to have Xine play audio
[01:34] <apokryphos> suedoh: could you expand?
[01:34] <suedoh> I run gxine through command line to check if it gives any output regarding the audio, but nothing shows up... Any ideas?
[01:34] <apokryphos> suedoh: what is it you're trying to play?
[01:34] <suedoh> though for example VLC Media Player brings audio on the same file
[01:34] <livingdaylig> can someone help me with recovering files?
[01:34] <poolkey172> suedoh : can u play audio in general ?
[01:34] <dcordes> i tried to installed beryl and when i logged into my xgl session, the system loaded the old theme which is ugly. so i looked in the wiki that told me to run a certain command to get the new theme back. after adding this command to my startup i couldn't login anymore.
[01:35] <suedoh> mpeg 320x240 MPEG (libmpeg2) MPEG Layer 2/3
[01:35] <suedoh> thats what it says in the gxine player
[01:35] <suedoh> regular .mpg and .wav files some using win32 codecs, which i do have installed
[01:35] <suedoh> all of these play sound in VLC Media player, but for some reason gxine doesn't output sound?
[01:35] <livingdaylig> i've mounted my /sda1 and i can see it and there is 2.3gb of data but i can't access it
[01:35] <apokryphos> suedoh: do you have libxine-extracodecs?
[01:35] <reverseblade> dcordes, you can try searching the text : grep -r - n my_app .
[01:36] <livingdaylig> is there a heavy duty operator out there who knows how to sort this?
[01:36] <apokryphos> ktogias: auto-away messages are evil :)
[01:36] <livingdaylig> i'm talking like serous geek status...
[01:36] <suedoh> apt-get doesn't find a libxine-extracodecs
[01:37] <suedoh> though i installed all the win32 codecs myself
[01:37] <livingdaylig> a real Ubuntu God
[01:37] <suedoh> it plays the video
[01:37] <bXi> does one of you know what modules i should modprobe for parallel playstation controllers
[01:37] <poolkey172> suedoh : dont now myself much about xine sorry
[01:37] <suedoh> apokryphos: have any idea ?
[01:37] <suedoh> poolkey172: no problem :)
[01:38] <apokryphos> suedoh: you don't have multiverse enabled?
[01:38] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: do you know about mounting n stuff?
[01:38] <apokryphos> suedoh: what version of Ubuntu?
[01:38] <suedoh> where can I find this multiverse option?
[01:38] <ktogias> I just turned it off apokryphos....
[01:38] <livingdaylig> fdoving: ping
[01:38] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: what's the problem?
[01:38] <apokryphos> ktogias: cool :)
[01:38] <suedoh> how can I find out my Ubuntu version :) ?
[01:38] <apokryphos> ktogias: nearly 1000 users here; you can imagine the /away floods :P

[01:40] <apokryphos> suedoh: /msg ubotu restricted
[01:41] <suedoh> oh ok, sorry... wont do anymore
[01:41] <apokryphos> suedoh: ...for enabling Multiverse.
[01:41] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: cat /etc/fstab. How else are you mounting them?
[01:41] <reverseblade> dcordes, just dig around what you're looking should be around
[01:41] <reverseblade> dcordes, need not to be 'session'
[01:41] <suedoh> apokryphos: but i dont believe i'm having that issue here... I've gone through that before, when I wasn't able to show up audio...
[01:41] <apokryphos> suedoh: ok, you're running dapper.
[01:41] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i did sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/home
[01:42] <apokryphos> ubotu: info libxine-extracodecs dapper
[01:42] <ubotu> libxine-extracodecs: the xine video/media player library, binary files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.1+ubuntu1-2 (dapper), package size 1148 kB, installed size 2976 kB
[01:42] <apokryphos> suedoh: have a go at installing it, if you can.
[01:42] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: that will never auto-mount. You need to be editing fstab. Please have a look at:
[01:42] <apokryphos> !fstab
[01:42] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[01:42] <apokryphos> !mount

[01:42] <poolkey172> anyone know if there is a vncserver that attahes to X :0 no matter who is logged on ? I'd like to vnc right from the kdm
[01:42] <suedoh> Package libxine-extracodecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[01:43] <suedoh> though it doesn't show me the other package :-(
[01:43] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34530/
[01:43] <suedoh> searching for libxine doesn't bring up anything regarding codecs either.
[01:43] <Guest753> hi
[01:43] <suedoh> hrmm... im not sure whats going on her
[01:44] <gunfus> hi guys
[01:44] <dcordes> reverseblade: i coudln't dig it out
[01:44] <Guest753> i need some help with automatix2
[01:44] <apokryphos> suedoh: make sure you've enabled multiverse. Add "multiverse" to any line that has "universe" in /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:44] <reverseblade> dcordes, sorry
[01:45] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: don't understand... i did mount sda1  - this has worked in the past
[01:45] <gunfus> in ubuntu, I noticed that my /etc/crontab has "test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily"
[01:45] <gunfus> i guess 2 question come from there
[01:45] <gunfus> why the test
[01:45] <gunfus> and if my computer runs all the time I can remove anacron, right?
[01:45] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: it would *not* automount like that though
[01:45] <apokryphos> for sure
[01:45] <lucjan> sdsd
[01:45] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i've aldo done sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[01:45] <dcordes> in which file are the entries for all programs that startup with the gnome session login?
[01:45] <Richard__> rawr
[01:45] <suedoh> thanks, ill give it a shot :)
[01:46] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i don't understnad why not?
[01:46] <Richard__> I'm trying to get samba to work with my ubuntu and xp pcs... but it aint!
[01:46] <Richard__> theyre connected to el internet via a modem with a built in switch
[01:46] <Richard__> and they both have individual external ips
[01:46] <Guest753> 'quinn1.key' could not be opened
[01:46] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: because entries have to be in fstab to be permanent. Or you have to use the gnome tool
[01:46] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i've done it before and then i just copy files from sda1 /home directory  to sdb1 home/dir
[01:46] <suedoh> wow 911 nicks here
[01:46] <suedoh> heh
[01:46] <Guest753> no such file or directory
[01:46] <apokryphos> !mount | livingdaylig
[01:46] <gunfus> in ubuntu, I noticed that my /etc/crontab has "test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily", can I remove anacron, and why the test-x?
[01:46] <ubotu> livingdaylig: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[01:46] <Richard__> suedoh, It's a sign ;)

[01:48] <suedoh> have a good night man
[01:48] <dcordes> Richard: i need to edit the list of gnome startup programs without gui
[01:48] <dcordes> Richard__:
[01:48] <tomyeah> does ubuntu 6.10 32 bit support the nvraid soft raid ? i just installed the ubuntu 6.10 in 64 bit and it was laggy as hell, took 4 hours to get through the installer ....
[01:48] <Richard__> :o hmm

[01:48] <Rocito> How can i let multiple programs use the sound card at the same time (without running them with aoss <command>) ?
[01:49] <gunfus> any takers?  in ubuntu, I noticed that my /etc/crontab has "test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily", can I remove anacron, and why the test-x?
[01:49] <alek66> does anyone knows the page where I can paste txt there
[01:49] <apokryphos> ubotu: topic | alek66
[01:49] <ubotu> alek66: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic
[01:49] <poolkey172> tomyeah : are you talking LVM or dmraid ?
[01:49] <dcordes> alek66: take a look at the topic
[01:49] <Jaak_> Hi, i am looking for working beryl repo, since their hd crashed... Is there an alternative...?
[01:49] <incorrect> is apt-get dist-upgrade still the method to upgrade to a new version?
[01:50] <alek66> thankssssss
[01:50] <tomyeah> poolkey172 : im talkin about nvraid, its the software raid technology by nvidia
[01:50] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i wish you 'd talk to me than just going !mount and stuff like that. I don't need gparted .... i've created a mount point and sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt or in this case /media/home has worked fine. So, why not now...
[01:50] <apokryphos> incorrect: not for edgy
[01:50] <incorrect> no?
[01:50] <poolkey172> tomyeah : nvraid is a chipset
[01:50] <apokryphos> incorrect: see the faq in topic
[01:50] <incorrect> from dapper -> edgy
[01:50] <tomyeah> poolkey172 : nvraid is a software that runs on the nforce4 chipset
[01:51] <poolkey172> tomyeah : as u wish mate
[01:51] <bezibaerchen> .
[01:51] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: I've been giving you all the valid information. The first link I gave to you explains fstab. The second one tells you how to mount partitions using gnome
[01:51] <Guest753> my problem begins with the 'quinn1.key' which cannot be opened "no such file or directory"
[01:52] <dcordes> how can i edit the list of gnome startup programs without gui?????
[01:52] <dcordes> i can't login anymore
[01:52] <dcordes> please help
[01:52] <poolkey172> tomyeah : are you raiding RAID1 or RAID0
[01:52] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i know how to mount and i looked at the link you gave me regarding mounting and i see that i've done it right.
[01:53] <gunfus> can someone give me a listing of their /etc/crond.daily
[01:53] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: you asked for my etc/fstab and i pastebineed that for you
[01:53] <gunfus> sorry it is actually: /etc/cron.daily
[01:53] <tomyeah> poolkey172 : raid0, but that doesnt matter, i just want to know if ubuntu supports that soft raid controller or not, because on my last (64bit) installation it didnt support it
[01:53] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i've not had to tinker with fstab before to mount and access a partition so why now, is all i'm asking
[01:54] <dcordes> hello? i bet there are many people here who know how i do this
[01:54] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: ok, crazy stuff going on there. One sec. You want to mount a disk on another disk?
[01:54] <poolkey172> tomyeah : cool I just installed RAID0 : kubuntu boots up in 18seconds : got bootchart logs to prove it
[01:54] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: because perhaps before you had a tool that put it into fstab for you
[01:54] <dcordes> don't let me swim like this. i allready helped many ppl here
[01:54] <apokryphos> !repeat
[01:54] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:54] <gunfus> I am restoring my cron.daily, (don't ask) so can someone give me a listing of their /etc/cron.daily
[01:54] <tomyeah> poolkey172 : do you use nvraid ?
[01:54] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: what do you want to be mounted on /home?
[01:55] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: yea, i want to mount sda1 unto sdb1
[01:55] <poolkey172> tomyeah : no dmraid
[01:55] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i want to access the /home dir of sda1 in sdab1
[01:55] <poolkey172> tomyeah : create the raid from the the BIOS then dmraid to get them recognised
[01:55] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: but it works with mount points. Firstly what do you want to be mounted as /home
[01:56] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: things about "the home dir of..." we have to deal with after.
[01:56] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i don't quite understand you
[01:56] <tomyeah> poolkey172 : i dont want to create or edit any raid, i dont even want to boot from the raid, i just want to mount it ...
[01:56] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: and, can you also pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l ?
[01:56] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i've done sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[01:56] <eneried> hello boys? is there something better than xmms in edgy?
[01:56] <poolkey172> lol @ tomyeah then u r in luck that is EASY
[01:56] <apokryphos> eneried: yes
[01:56] <apokryphos> !players
[01:56] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[01:57] <eneried> woa!
[01:57] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: so i should now be able to access sda1 from my /mnt point no?
[01:57] <apokryphos> eneried: I think, of those, amarok and banshee are the best.
[01:57] <eneried> thanks a lot!
[01:57] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: well, you haven't specified options. So no saying if a user could access it etc. Could you pastebin that other stuff? Then I can start showing you what you need in fstab
[01:57] <tomyeah> poolkey172 : on boot the filesystem check crashes on the raid partitions ...
[01:58] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: fdisk output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34534/
[01:58] <eneried> i used xmms for a long time, because it resembles winamp, but I like something better now
[01:59] <poolkey172> tomyeah : lol unlucky mate : ps I was not even able to get a full install onto raid I had to hack around and copy an install onto a RAID and then post configure it
[01:59] <poolkey172> tomyeah : apt-get install dmraid
[01:59] <dcordes> poolkey172: he is not here
[02:00] <poolkey172> tomyeah : ubiquity and debian-installer were unable to install to RAID so I copied a whole system to it :o
[02:00] <poolkey172> tomyeah : what do u mean not here ?
[02:00] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: what's sda6?
[02:01] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: another swap partition it looks like, dunno
[02:01] <dcordes> apokryphos: Can you tell me where i can find the file where the entries of Settings/Session/Startup are stored?
[02:01] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: installing os over time its created more swaps than necessary?
[02:01] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: you should be using the previous swaps when installing another OS though. But hey.
[02:01] <apokryphos> dcordes: don't use gnome, sorry.
[02:01] <Richard__> I'm trying to connect two of my computer together - one ubuntu and one xp. They are both connected to the internets via a modem with a built in switch. And they both have been assigned individual external IPs.
[02:02] <Richard__> I can connect to them using browsers and/or netbios names, only IPs
[02:02] <dcordes> Richard__ i think when they are in a different subnetwork it won't be easy to connect them
[02:03] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: ok. Do this: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1
[02:03] <Richard__> Awwww :'-(
[02:03] <dcordes>  anybody here using gnome who knows where the session startup programs are saved??
[02:03] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: done
[02:03] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: and then put this into your fstab: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34535/
[02:03] <dcordes> -_-
[02:03] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: then type sudo mount -a

[02:09] <livingdaylig> i needed to pastebin that
[02:09] <livingdaylig> yea :| sorry
[02:10] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: erm, make sure you don't leave the numbers when you copy to the file, right?
[02:10] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: be careful to follow things properly when using fstab :)
[02:10] <daxxar> How can I, in a shellscript, expand a pattern like a{b,c}?
[02:10] <eneried> and about video players, which are the best?
[02:11] <chaelot|work> vlc <3 :)
[02:11] <daxxar> I.e. in a variable.
[02:11] <apokryphos> eneried: vlc totem and kaffeine are all good
[02:11] <chaelot|work> is it a known issue that "gkrellm" (that system stats output thing) really slows down the puter ?
[02:12] <eneried> vlc, totem and kaffeine... what about xxx-xine?
[02:12] <apokryphos> eneried: if you're using totem use xine, yes
[02:12] <apokryphos> same with kaffeine of course
[02:12] <fourat> tryed to upgrade, it's stopping on an error saying that it cannot install pppconfig_2.3.15_all.deb because it is going to replace this file /usr/share/man/fr/man8/pppconfig.8.gz wich is from another package (manpages-fr), how to force it ?
[02:13] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: ok, i did mount -a
[02:13] <apokryphos> no errors?
[02:13] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: no, it had been my misstake again with the numbers as you intuited
[02:13] <orgy> somebody knows a tool which can recover hidden passwords out of login boxes, i lost my dsl connection password, but its still on the router :(
[02:14] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: ok, now ls /mnt/sda1
[02:14] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: ok,
[02:14] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: and cd /home
[02:15] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: ok, so your sda1 is now mounted. What do you want to mount as /home?
[02:15] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: yes
[02:15] <JuJuBee> Can someone suggest a program that will let me edit pdf?
[02:16] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: if i do cd /home/conrad i'm back in the old sdb1 it seems. This is the problem i was getting before
[02:17] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: yeah, we haven't dealt with that yet. You haven't said what you want to be mounted as /home yet
[02:17] <Leeds2> quick question... is there a tool I should be using rather than editing /etc/fstab manually?
[02:17] <dcordes> how can i install a program bypassing the pubkey?
[02:17] <eneried> JuJuBee there's something called... pdftools or something like that, but they're command line tools, i don't remember the name, but they're command line tools
[02:18] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i just want to get my /home directory from sda1 so i can completely reformat sda1 and do a fresh install of my choice
[02:18] <poolkey172> anyone know where the x logs are for a session ?
[02:18] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: so you want to copy it to sdb1?
[02:18] <JuJuBee> eneried : thanks , but looking for gui.  SOmething like word processor.
[02:18] <apokryphos> poolkey172: /var/log
[02:18] <Leeds2> I'm setting up a machine for someone - on my own (slackware) machine, I'd just edit, but I'm trying to keep it clean and GUI on his machine
[02:18] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: yes, please ! :D
[02:18] <poolkey172> thanks
[02:18] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: well, they're both mounted now aren't they? So just copy the stuff over.
[02:18] <fourat> tryed to upgrade, it's stopping on an error saying that it cannot install pppconfig_2.3.15_all.deb because it is going to replace this file /usr/share/man/fr/man8/pppconfig.8.gz wich is from another package (manpages-fr), how to force it ?
[02:19] <Jaak_> I've installed beryl, when i reboot and log in, the first couple of sec everything is ok, but when beryl is loaded (jewel logo apears) gnome freezes, except for my mouse pointer. The 2hd icons on my desktop dissapear...Is there anyone with a solution or some pointers on what to do?
[02:19] <apokryphos> fourat: apt-get -f install. Though I'm presuming you didn't follow the guide for upgrading.....
[02:19] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i don't know when i was in kubuntu using konqueror it was as simple as clicking on and copying over. The thing is i don't even see the /home folder here
[02:19] <apokryphos> Jaak_: /msg ubotu beryl
[02:19] <eneried> JuJuBee try looking at sourceforge.net, maybe there's something new there
[02:19] <defrysk> !beryl > Jaak_
[02:20] <Jaak_> !beryl
[02:20] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[02:20] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: you don't see anything in /dev/sda1 ?
[02:20] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: well i see bin, cdrom etc initand so on and including home but when i open it i am back in sdb1
[02:20] <fourat> apokryphos, wich guide please
[02:21] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: can i not use nautilus to 'see' and copy over what i want from sda1's /home folder?
[02:21] <apokryphos> fourat: check the FAQ in channel topic
[02:21] <Leeds2> so there's no GUI tool for maintaining /etc/fstab?
[02:21] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: oh.. give me an ls -lh /mnt/sda1/
[02:22] <underzsof>  THE NUMBER ONE WAREZ INSTANT DOWNLOADZ SITE IN THE PLANET  --> WWW.UNDERZSOFT.COM THANKS
[02:22] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: copy *just* the home entry in here
[02:22] <dcordes> i tied upgrading from dapper to edgy and now i can't boot anymore. the fancy edgy splash does come up but it hangs about at the half. is there any way to fix this install or do i have to completly format?
[02:22] <nolimitsoya> is anyone here using abcde, and would know if it can be used just to rename files, but not reencode them? (or what itmight use to do nameing...)
[02:23] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: drwxr-xr-x   3 root root 4.0K 2006-11-15 10:21 home
[02:23] <Dreamglider> good day folks
[02:23] <poolkey172> how do I connect to a different x server ?
[02:23] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: ok, how about ls -lh /mnt/sda1/home ?
[02:23] <apokryphos> poolkey172: connect? Do you mean start?
[02:23] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i just used nautilus to check and i see sda1 in the /mnt folder but again when i open it there is nothing in /home
[02:24] <poolkey172> I want to run a comple xsession remotely
[02:24] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: oh, so all the stuff's appearing in shell, but not in nautilus?
[02:24] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: total 4.0K
[02:24] <livingdaylig> drwxr-xr-x 2 conrad conrad 4.0K 2006-11-15 10:21 conrad
[02:24] <apokryphos> poolkey172: Xorg :1 -ac
[02:24] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: is that your home folder, with all the stuff you want?
[02:24] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: well, i've not had it show in the shell either
[02:25] <Hoxzer> where are multimedia-settings located?
[02:25] <Hoxzer> !multimedia-settings
[02:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about multimedia-settings - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:25] <poolkey172> apokryphos : hmmm where do I stick that ?
[02:25] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: agues
[02:25] <apokryphos> poolkey172: in the shell
[02:25] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: huh?
[02:26] <romeozor> i need some help, i installed ubuntu (next to a windows) and the boot fails at waiting fot root filesystem and it drops me in a shell saying /dev/sda2 (root fs) does not exist, anyone know a fix?
[02:26] <poolkey172> apokryphos : That'll just set up an x instance from uid it's running under : cant this be global via the gdm or kdm ?
[02:26] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i mean yes, i would have preferred to see it and take out exactly what i want but as it is i will be more than happy if i can recover everything and then edit later
[02:27] <poolkey172> apokryphos : ie from when x starts initially
[02:27] <v21> you install UBUNTU  on another partition ? ?
[02:27] <apokryphos> poolkey172: I believe gdm can only run one x session
[02:27] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i worry that i can't see anything of sda1's home/conrad
[02:27] <poolkey172> apokryphos : hmmm ic : then how would I connect to Xorg :1 -ac ?
[02:27] <romeozor> i did, sda1 is win, sda2 is root and sda3 is swap
[02:27] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: so navigate around with ls
[02:28] <apokryphos> poolkey172: independently
[02:28] <apokryphos> poolkey172: ctrl+alt+f8
[02:28] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: the other folders give me stuff just not /home/conrad
[02:28] <apokryphos> poolkey172: f7 to get back to the old one
[02:28] <apokryphos> !patience | Leeds2
[02:28] <ubotu> Leeds2: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:28] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: how would you suggest i can copy just to try /test it
[02:28] <poolkey172> apokryphos : no no mate I want to connect to it from a remote machine
[02:28] <Jazzinghen> Hi
[02:29] <Jazzinghen> Can someone help me?
[02:29] <Leeds2> I know how to use fscking IRC, and I've been doing IRC supprt for years - I'd have expected at least an RTFM before now
[02:29] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: cp /mnt/sda1/home/conrad /sdb1/home/conrad ?
[02:29] <defrysk> !someone | Jazzinghen
[02:29] <ubotu> Jazzinghen: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:29] <apokryphos> poolkey172: run an x session on a remote machine but output to somewhere else?
[02:29] <Jazzinghen> Ok
[02:29] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: with -r in there, yeah
[02:29] <poolkey172> apokryphos : correct
[02:29] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: where does the -r go after cp?
[02:29] <Jazzinghen> I have a copy of Borland JBuilder 2006 and I'd like to install it because I need it for University
[02:30] <klm-> how can I make xchat to automatically accept download of files from a certain user?
[02:30] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: anywhere
[02:30] <openexit> anyone know much about xtdesk I'm trying to disable the right click/properties of icons so you cant click on them at all
[02:30] <Jazzinghen> The problem is that when I try to install (Using the bin, as stated on the Borland Readme) it tells me that there are problems with the libc
[02:30] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: sudo cp -r /mnt/sda1/home/conrad /sdb1/home/conrad?
[02:30] <apokryphos> poolkey172: hm, I'm really not sure. Maybe play around with the DISPLAY variable?
[02:30] <Manse> can xchat be so powerful?
[02:30] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: right
[02:30] <apokryphos> Manse: for what?
[02:31] <openexit> im also trying to do the same with blackbox, disable the right click
[02:31] <apokryphos> Manse: it's a pretty decent client. Scriptable
[02:31] <poolkey172> apokryphos : I used to do this years back I just forgot
[02:31] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: what does the -r arguement do then?
[02:31] <Manse> klm:how can I make xchat to automatically accept download of files from a certain user?
[02:31] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: to allow you to copy folders.See man cp
[02:31] <defrysk> recursively
[02:31] <apokryphos> right
[02:32] <Jazzinghen> Anyone can help me, please?
[02:32] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: lol, cp: cannot create directory  /sdb1/home/conrad : no such file or directory
[02:33] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: remove the "/sdb1"
[02:33] <neuro_> Jazzinghen: ask your question, then everyone else will be able to figure out if they can help you or not :)
[02:33] <shodanjr_gr> hey guys
[02:33] <defrysk> klm-, you can set it to accept or not accept from all users , however you can also save nicknames in filenames so you can see from who the upload is coming
[02:33] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: aha
[02:33] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: sudo cp -rv /mnt/sda1/home/conrad /home/conrad
[02:33] <Jazzinghen> Well
[02:33] <Jazzinghen> I've stated it
[02:33] <shodanjr_gr> i got a process running in the background, whats the bash command to bring it to the foreground?
[02:33] <Jazzinghen> So I'll repost it:
[02:33] <poolkey172> fg
[02:33] <Jazzinghen> I have a copy of Borland JBuilder 2006 and I'd like to install it because I need it for University, the problem is that when I try to install (Using the bin, as stated on the Borland Readme) it tells me that there are problems with the libc
[02:34] <poolkey172> shodanjr_gr : fg
[02:34] <klm-> defrysk: ok. I thought if it was possible to somehow script it to accept only from one person, but of course in ubuntu it's not as hazardous as on windows
[02:34] <shodanjr_gr> and how do i use it poolkey172? is it fg <PID>?
[02:34] <poolkey172> Dont u just love the simple questiions
[02:34] <daniel789> Hello people,
[02:34] <poolkey172> shodanjr_gr : just fg
[02:34] <shodanjr_gr> fg gives me "No such job"
[02:35] <poolkey172> shodanjr_gr : ahhh thats because u didnt put in the background
[02:35] <njan> klm-, it's no less hazardous accepting file transfers from other users in ubuntu than windows.
[02:35] <daniel789> I like this ogg music codec :-D, the makers did think about the common birate's and ogg does better
[02:35] <defrysk> klm-, as far as virusses is concerned no, perhaps you can search for script/plugins for this (google)
[02:35] <klm-> njan: yea but ubuntu users are more friendly
[02:35] <njan> klm-, either way you're at risk from exploits in the IRC client, and in either instance people can send you dubious content.
[02:35] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: it hasn't copied anythign over
[02:35] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: any errors?
[02:36] <shodanjr_gr> poolkey172 what i did was that i started a WGet via SSH and then just alt+f4'd putty
[02:36] <njan> klm-, who says the person sending you a file is going to be an ubuntu user?
[02:36] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: as i say fro some reason it is not reading /home/conrad
[02:36] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: no,
[02:36] <poolkey172> shodanjr_gr : start process; press ctrl-z (which pauses it); type 'bg' puts it in the background; fg back in the foreground
[02:36] <defrysk> Jazzinghen, might be wise to send the output of the failing install to pastebin
[02:36] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: "not reading"?
[02:36] <eneried> Does somebody how to install the mp3 support to amarok and banshee??
[02:36] <daniel789> here read something about microshaft , http://100777.com/node/1120
[02:36] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: the thing with sda1 is that on login/bootup it was not accepting my username/password
[02:36] <shodanjr_gr> poolkey172 is there a way to bring my wget back up? to check its progress?
[02:37] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: that is why i'm tryintg to recover my /home/dir
[02:37] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: your sdb1 actually isn't mounted anywhere
[02:37] <poolkey172> shodanjr_gr : ps -ef | grep -i wget
[02:37] <klm-> njan: sorry, I meant linux users. Who would try to harm a linux system? no point at all!
[02:37] <Jazzinghen> defrysk: Would you like to see the Output?
[02:37] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1 && sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
[02:37] <defrysk> Jazzinghen, the people who might know what to do about it need it
[02:37] <poolkey172> shodanjr_gr : I got the feeling your wgets dies when u ALT-f4'd the parent ;)
[02:37] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: by reading i meant as i was saying earlier that nothing shows up in /home/conrad even though there is about 2.3gb of data in there
[02:37] <neuro_> shodanjr_gr: why can't you just kill the wget process then run it again with -c to continue?
[02:37] <njan> klm-, all kinds of people try and harm linux systems.
[02:37] <daniel789> well linux is more secure because linux is not designed to have potential security weaknesses nor is designed to suck up spyware like windowsa
[02:37] <Jazzinghen> Ok, I'll paste it here
[02:38] <defrysk> no!!!
[02:38] <defrysk> not here

[02:38] <eneried> I found something interestig for irc people, there's something called Ubuntu Open Week, look https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/

[02:38] <defrysk> !pastebin > Jazzinghen
[02:38] <Trivolt> question: why cant i see "gstreamer0.10-dev" in "add/remove" using ubuntu 6.10 ?
[02:38] <apokryphos> eneried: yes, see the channel topic :)
[02:38] <daniel789> scroll up
[02:38] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: let me know if that gives any errors
[02:38] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: having done your mkdri command try and copy again?
[02:38] <njan> klm-, linux may have fewer viruses and spyware, but that doesn't mean no-one ever tries to break into linux systems - in point of fact, linux systems are great for relaying spam and doing other dubious thing, precisely because linux an efficient and flexible server platform.
[02:38] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: no that came back without errors
[02:39] <Parallax> hi, I hybernated my laptop and now that I turned on again I have no sound !!!!
[02:39] <poolkey172> shodanjr_gr : not sure if you can attach them to a terminal : I used to know how to do this
[02:39] <daniel789> thats because linux is not designed like windows to suck up spyware,
[02:39] <njan> klm-, you'll find that there are a lot of compromised linux machines out there alongside the windows ones being used for spam and all manner of other things.
[02:39] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: now type sudo cp -r /mnt/sda1/home/conrad /mnt/sdb1/.
[02:39] <Jazzinghen> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34537/ Here you go
[02:39] <eneried> hehe, i become... :")
[02:39] <Parallax> hi, I hybernated my laptop and now that I turned on again I have no sound, is there a command to start it up again?????? !!!!
[02:39] <daniel789> can you hack into a electric signal like a battery connected to a little bulb? no, which leaves me windows is designed to be insecure
[02:39] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: including the fullstop at the end?
[02:40] <apokryphos> yup
[02:40] <apokryphos> though it doesn't make a difference in this case; just a habbit :P
[02:40] <klm-> njan, ok. ubuntu is still quite safe by default installation?
[02:40] <apokryphos> klm-: yes
[02:40] <apokryphos> !firewall
[02:40] <njan> klm-, yes, ubuntu has a very safe default installation.
[02:40] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:40] <defrysk> klm-, yes
[02:40] <daniel789> what firewall do you guys recommend for ubuntu?
[02:40] <njan> klm-, but there are certain things that are still risky, like opening your client up for DCC file transfers. DCC/CTCP in IRC is something which historically has had a bad track record, in windows and in linux.
[02:40] <defrysk> daniel789, read above
[02:40] <apokryphos> daniel789: you shouldn't have to change anything from the default
[02:40] <o-6n-o> danierl, firestater
[02:41] <dbe> I have the apache 1.3 and php 4 packages installed but I cannot execute .php files, apache wants to download them. I dont have /etc/php4/apache/php.ini but /etc/apache2/php4/php.ini. ANy idea how I can fix this?
[02:41] <daniel789> well i just updated ubuntu , dapper drake, and is default
[02:41] <njan> daniel789, yes, you can increase the current and execute a denial of service attack against the light bulb filament ;)
[02:41] <shodanjr_gr> poolkey172 guess i have to try the -c thingie...power just dropped at my place
[02:41] <cheesy> what would be the best way to copy DVDs(data) with ubuntu?

[02:42] <defrysk> cheesy, copy it inthere
[02:42] <apokryphos> eneried: please have a look at the FAq in the channel topic

[02:45] <Fjodor> Does anyone know of updated edgy packages of mldonkey that doesn't look for the now defunct mldonkey.net?
[02:45] <njan> daniel789, well, example aside, how does that example actually relate to windows?
[02:46] <Dreamglider> i finaly got my wifi USB dongle to work, now i need to configure it to connect to my privat wlan and my schools wlan can anyone assist me ?
[02:46] <daniel789> BInary.
[02:46] <njan> daniel789, binary?
[02:46] <daniel789> freebsd,no way as much funding as microshaft, yet, no way as insecure as win
[02:46] <reverseblade> livingdaylig, still ?
[02:47] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: errrmm..sorry, i don't follow. I thought i would copy from this folder called sdb1 what i want over to my actual sdb1 /home/conrad directory
[02:47] <reverseblade> livingdaylig, I know these days, very tiring and desperate
[02:47] <njan> daniel789, that doesn't really answer the question, you've basically just stated windows insecure and made an intangible appeal to freebsd being secure without actually backing up the assertion.
[02:47] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: your current /home is on your sda3 at the moment, along with the rest of your /
[02:47] <daniel789> http://100777.com/node/1120
[02:48] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: oh really i thought it was in sdb1
[02:48] <livingdaylig> what a mess
[02:49] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: easy to fix though, now.
[02:49] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: so you want sdb1 to be your /home, right?
[02:49] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: yes
[02:49] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: i think...
[02:49] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: can you /msg me a ls /mnt/sdb1 so I can see what's in there?
[02:50] <njan> daniel789, that page is just a pile of silly, unsubstantiated complaints, many of which are false. If that's the extent of your willingness to hold, and backup, opinions in a discussion with me, I think I'll find something else to do ;)
[02:50] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: msg you?
[02:50] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: /query apokryphos
[02:50] <livingdaylig> apokryphos: ok
[02:50] <apokryphos> livingdaylig: then paste the stuff in there

[02:59] <poolkey172> huh ?
[03:00] <Hattori> hello, who know where JAVA_HOME is ?
[03:00] <Dreamglider> poolkey172, system > pref's > network settings
[03:00] <poolkey172> I want to change hostname on my box
[03:00] <poolkey172> dreamflider : is there a commandline way plz ?
[03:00] <Dreamglider> poolkey172, i dont know, i am not keen in terminal at all
[03:00] <Hattori> where should JAVA_HOME be located usually?
[03:00] <cox377> is there a command to list all applications
[03:00] <njan> poolkey172, the hostname command, or edit /etc/hostname
[03:01] <njan> cox377, at the command line, hit tab twice.
[03:01] <Hattori> the directory i mean
[03:01] <njan> cox377, that'll give you a list of every executable in your PATh.
[03:01] <njan> *H
[03:01] <njan> cox377, but be warned, it's big.
[03:01] <monokrome> Anyone know if 5.1 surround sound is possible in Ubuntu?
[03:01] <monokrome> er. or ALSA :)
[03:01] <cox377> njan: i saw something torrent closesing when shutting down, i want rid of it
[03:02] <mypapit> sak sak boom !!!
[03:02] <njan> cox377, ok, you mean services which are runnign?
[03:02] <poolkey172> njan : thanks
[03:02] <njan> cox377, at the command line, or are you ok with the gui?
[03:02] <cox377> njan: yeh i think it was
[03:02] <monkeybutter> Hi, this may sound like a dumb question, but how do I change the colors in ubuntu?
[03:02] <cox377> njan: Umm i just saw it during shutdown, but there is nothing under apps
[03:02] <monkeybutter> I found themes but nothing to change colors of widgets
[03:02] <DeepThoughts> Hi! A buddy of mine is trying to install the latest ubuntu (alternate CD) but when he tries to resize the partition it only shows him a blank blue window and a text-entry row but no text. What to do?
[03:02] <Hattori> how can i locate the dir where is installed JAVA?
[03:02] <njan> cox377, no, it's definitely a service - you'll find the shortcuts that start services in /etc/init.d/
[03:03] <cox377> njan: do u manually delete?
[03:03] <njan> cox377, there's a GUI app for managing services (although I forget the name), or you can use something like rcconf to manage whch services automagically start at the command line.
[03:03] <njan> cox377, no, don't delete the file from there
[03:03] <cox377> njan: is rrconf installed by default?
[03:03] <JuJuBee> OK, I found a few pdf editors.  I tried to install pdfedit and got an error... configure: error: You need boost library to compile PDFedit
[03:03] <shadukan> hi guys
[03:04] <daniel789> well i tryed this, sudo dpkg -NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7184-pkg1.run asks for password but does not seem to input letters
[03:04] <monkeybutter> Is there a wayto change the colors in ubuntu? Orange is nice but...
[03:04] <njan> cox377, no, you'll have to apt-get install rcconf. You can manually edit the shortcuts in /etc/R*.d/, but you're as well apt-get installing rcconf and using that, it's a useful tool.
[03:04] <shadukan> is there any dedicated room for installin drivers for motherboards?
[03:04] <cox377> njan: installing now, will it show up under the applications?
[03:04] <njan> cox377, no, it's a command line application.
[03:05] <incorrect> are there any more gnome themes packaged?
[03:05] <shadukan> cause i have installed sucessfuly the fglrx driver in my IBM X31 Thinkpad but i get an strange error
[03:05] <njan> cox377, like I said, there's a GUI app for managing which services start at boot time in ubuntu's menus somewhere, but I couldn't tell you what it is, because I don't use it.
[03:05] <cox377> njan: ok, well i';ve install rcconf, how do i launch it?
[03:05] <njan> cox377, run a terminal, and type 'rcconf'
[03:05] <Hattori> how can i locate the dir where is installed JAVA?
[03:06] <njan> cox377, there's a terminal link in the applications menu or you can alt+F2, type gnome-terminal, hit return.
[03:06] <monkeybutter> Hattori: locate java.exe
[03:06] <monkeybutter> Hattori: ...on the command line
[03:06] <JuJuBee> Can anybody assist with this error ? configure: error: You need boost library to compile PDFedit
[03:06] <cox377> njan: sorry mate, what i mean is how do u launch rcconf?
[03:07] <Hattori> monkeybutter: how?
[03:07] <njan> cox377, type rcconf at the commandline.
[03:08] <cox377> njan: cheers for that
[03:08] <njan> cox377, np.
[03:08] <monkeybutter> Hattori: open a terminal and type "locate java.exe" it will list the paths of all the files named java.exe
[03:08] <njan> cox377, the debian/ubuntu runlevel system can be a bit tricky to manage by hand, rcconf is useful to have.
[03:08] <tomyeah> how do i activate this 3d desktop in ubuntu 6.10 ? i thought its pre-installed and pre-configured AIGLX
[03:08] <monkeybutter> Hattori: you can type "man locate" while you're at it :)
[03:09] <monkeybutter> Is there a wayto change the colors in ubuntu? Do I need to use different themes to achieve different colors?
[03:09] <Hattori> monkeybutter: there is no java.exe
[03:09] <monkeybutter> Hattori: maybe you don't have java installed
[03:10] <apokryphos> tomyeah: not at all
[03:10] <apokryphos> ubotu: beryl | tomyeah
[03:10] <ubotu> tomyeah: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[03:10] <tryggvib> monkeybutter: Hattori is actually right, the java executable is only named 'java' not 'java.exe'
[03:10] <Rprp> Hmmmm can someone help me? If i try to install java i got a error
[03:10] <Rprp> ./jre-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64.bin: line 310: ./install.sfx.6759: cannot execute binary file

[03:11] <tomyeah> these news told me that ubuntu 6.10 has AIGLX and compiz preinstalled ....
[03:11] <monkeybutter> tryggvib: ah! sorry Hattori
[03:11] <apokryphos> Tomcat_: aiglx, yes, compiz -- no.
[03:12] <Tomcat_> tomyeah: If you want eyecandy, search Google for "berylonedgy". It's quite easy and runs well. :)
[03:13] <j0n0> Hi, how to set hostname via dhcp?

[03:13] <sittisal> eneried,
[03:13] <sittisal> you should use aptitude
[03:13] <eneried> hello
[03:13] <poolkey172> can someone tell me what runlevels lo and network should be in : my network doesnt autostart
[03:14] <monkeybutter> Hattori: try a locate keytool - this is in the JRE

[03:14] <Hattori> i'm actually installing sun-java5-jre
[03:14] <sittisal> every program installed with aptitude, (sudo aptitude install foo)
[03:14] <Hattori> with apt-get
[03:14] <eneried> i want to uninstall some program, that's ok. but that program depends on a lot of packages that i don't need, i don't like programs leaving garbage on my systenm, how can i delete those packages?
[03:14] <apokryphos> aptitude or autoremove

[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about autoremove - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:15] <eneried> autoremove?

[03:15] <apokryphos> actually, I'm not sure if that supports anything more than the basic ubuntu-desktop package. Will check the man page
[03:15] <daniel789> ty
[03:15] <monkeybutter> eneried: aptitude will remove automatically installed packages for you later
[03:15] <eneried> ah
[03:15] <poolkey172> can anyone help please or check their install ?
[03:16] <sittisal> monkeybutter, aptitude keep tracks of installed package and recursive remove dependencie that are not used by other programs
[03:16] <sittisal> eneried, aptitude keep tracks of installed package and recursive remove dependencie that are not used by other programs
[03:16] <sittisal> sorrt :-P
[03:16] <der0b> I've lost my mind today..  what's the command to list the installed hardware?
[03:16] <Chill3r> hello everyone - im wondering if somebody could help with a little problem i have
[03:16] <monkeybutter> der0b: lspci?
[03:16] <daniel789> thank you for this graphics driver link,
[03:17] <poolkey172> Chill3r : ask away
[03:17] <der0b> monkeybutter: thank you..  I couldn't remember it for the life of me
[03:17] <eneried> for example, i don't want to use... abiword anymore, and anymore depends on some libraries, i don't need those libraries, i need space for using openoffice or koffice instead, then i remove it wioth aptitude and aptitude automatically remove the useless packages?
[03:17] <brianski> if i want to run a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit userland, is that just a simple matter of installing the proper 64 bit kernel, or would i need to do some other magic to get the 32 bit executables working?
[03:17] <sittisal> eneried, in fact if you install kubuntu-desktop with aptitude you can remove it with all dependencies that it brings
[03:17] <sittisal> except these used by ubuntu-desktop
[03:17] <Lynoure> der0b: lshw  is nice too
[03:17] <php1> Hallo !?
[03:17] <poolkey172> can someone tell me what runlevels lo and network should be in : my network doesnt autostart pretty please ?
[03:17] <Chill3r> i have a mini tosh laptop - its only an old thing - currently windows 98 - i want to install ubuntu on it - but it has no physical network connection or cd rom , floppy
[03:17] <poplars> hey guys, I need a way to run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade after sudo apt-get update . . . can anyone give me a command?
[03:17] <Lynoure> der0b: and in future,  apropos hardware  can be handy :)
[03:17] <php1> oh, sorry
[03:18] <brianski> poplars: uh, apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[03:18] <Chill3r> i have wirless on it an worls fine  can anybody point me in the right direction ?
[03:18] <eneried> aaa, but if i delete for example, um totem, totem uses gstreamer plugins, and i don't need them anymore, cause i use.... um... w32cocecs instead
[03:18] <eneried> when i delete totem all gstreamer plugins remains n system
[03:18] <poplars> brianski, I think I just found a command,   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:18] <eneried> aptitude delete them for me?
[03:18] <poplars> how big is the whole upgrade for edgy from dapper? lol
[03:18] <poplars> I'm on dialup so this actually matters to me (sadly)
[03:19] <sittisal> eneried, yes if you installed totem via aptitude :-P
[03:19] <looksaus> anyone has experience here with installing ubuntu on a usb key on powerpc?
[03:19] <Chill3r> is there somsort of local install from windows that can be done ?
[03:19] <eneried> poplars? if dapper is working well in your machine just update some dapper-backports instead
[03:19] <eneried> edgy is ok, but the upgrade is painful
[03:19] <j0n0> Tomcat_: I'm trying, thank you
[03:20] <Chill3r> anybody ?  local install of ubuntu from windows - as i havnt got cd drive or floppy drive - but got wirless connection via pcmcia
[03:22] <jrib> ubotu: tell Chill3r about install
[03:22] <eneried> poplars, i think there's only three big things upgrading from dapper to edgy 1. firefox, 2. best support on hibertation (if you install edgy and not upgrade it from dapper) 3. easy to install ntfs read write support
[03:22] <jrib> Chill3r: not sure if any of the methods on that apge will work for you, but look it over
[03:22] <eneried> nothing more
[03:23] <sittisal> eneried, upstart
[03:23] <Chill3r> thanks dude
[03:23] <poplars> eneried, yeah, upstart too.
[03:23] <sittisal> 30 second to boot :-P
[03:23] <poplars> :)
[03:23] <poplars> I wont mind, I'm a hacker so
[03:23] <poplars> when I get time I'll dedicate a few hours to fixing it up.
[03:23] <eneried> what is upstart?
[03:23] <poplars> its like a boot manager.
[03:23] <poplars> supports high quality boot screens
[03:23] <poplars> increases boot up time
[03:23] <daniel789> on this synaptic manager where you select the kernal, whats the most up to date kernal number for ubuntu dapper drake, plus im on p4 .
[03:23] <poplars> I'm pretty sure that's what OSX uses.
[03:24] <poplars> (and osx boots in like 20 seconds, btw)
[03:24] <gavi1> I can't find anything on how to mount with xubuntu, and all of the command line instructions i can find are for dappy (I'm on edgy). help?
[03:24] <sittisal> poplars, yeah it similar to launchd
[03:24] <eneried> i have to check it hehe
[03:24] <eneried> :)
[03:24] <titan> howzit, can anyone hlp me with terminal server and tsclient?
[03:24] <jrib> gavi1: should be the same, what filesystem is it?
[03:24] <eneried> ok 4 big things
[03:24] <gavi1> jrib: ext3
[03:24] <poplars> lol
[03:24] <poplars> eneried, cons?
[03:24] <poplars> other then the fact that everythign is bleeding edge.
[03:24] <gavi1> the file listing the mounts changed for edgy right?
[03:25] <shadukan> howdy again
[03:25] <sittisal> poplars, artwork
[03:25] <poplars> sweet
[03:25] <sittisal> poplars, vnc bugs
[03:25] <reverseblade> gavil , they are all the same, just go with wiki
[03:25] <Chill3r> umm trying to grab Loadlin but links out on ubuntu page anybody got a working one
[03:25] <shadukan> can i ask again if there is a dedicate chat room for drivers installation?
[03:25] <jrib> gavi1: just create a mount point, and mount -t ext3 /dev/foo /path/to/mountpoint,  add to fstab if you want it to be permanent.  Are the instructions you have now good enough for you?
[03:25] <poplars> I'd rather not use Compiz/Beryl, and all that crap, produced way too many problems with the inneffeciency of it.
[03:25] <reverseblade> gavi1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[03:25] <daniel789> look at this, its about nvidia drivers, http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/8571/screenshot1iy0.png which one im on the dapper drake ubuntu up to date which kernal version
[03:25] <sittisal> and mono
[03:25] <daniel789> p4 to
[03:25] <eneried> ok, you're selling me edgy ;) i'll become buying it from you
[03:25] <eneried> :P
[03:26] <gavi1> reverseblade: wiki only has instructions for ubuntu, using the graphical mouunter in gnome, im on xubuntu
[03:26] <gavi1> i think...
[03:26] <reverseblade> gavi1, No
[03:26] <sittisal> Edgy worst things: Mono (beagle, f-spot, tomboy)
[03:26] <reverseblade> gavi1, just follow the link I have given
[03:26] <gavi1> mmm, ok ill check again, sorry
[03:26] <gavi1> ah, ok i see it

[03:26] <eneried> f-spot is the image viewer?
[03:27] <sittisal> eneried, yes
[03:27] <eneried> i wish an image viewer working closer than ACDSee
[03:27] <daniel789> okay guess ill just click one of these..
[03:27] <eneried> f-spot is not good enough
[03:27] <sittisal> it's simple (not as iPhoto)
[03:27] <_maney> hmmm.... anyone know where the X man pages have gone to?
[03:27] <sittisal> but try to recursive modify tags or metadata...
[03:27] <poplars> its amazing how ignorance can stop people from doing things, lol
[03:28] <sittisal> with 500 photos (very few)
[03:28] <eneried> there's an ACDSee alternative on linux?
[03:28] <sittisal> it tooks ages
[03:28] <sittisal> ender, gthumb (gnome)
[03:28] <sittisal> ops

[03:32] <eneried> bye
[03:32] <sittisal> has someone tried lphoto?
[03:32] <sittisal> it's now in feisty
[03:33] <daniel789> okay i have to install legacy
[03:34] <Chill3r> hey dudes - call me thick but - network install does it only work through Ethernet connection or will it work with pcmcia wireless device
[03:35] <daniel789> wow..so you don't actually have to bother going to nvidias website with this package management?
[03:35] <Lin> i got a weird problem with cd-rom drives. Im using ubuntu edgy, when I insert a disk on drive it isn't automaticly mounted. Then I go to Places->Computer and double click on cd-rom driver  icon. Nothing happens (in terminal I notice that CDROM is mounted in this time). When I click again in CD-ROM Drive it just tell me: CD-ROM is already mounted or busy. But didn' t opens it. Using a terminal to do cd /cdrom works flawlessly.  Using CTRL+L to open location work
[03:35] <Lin> s too. The CD-ROM icon didn't appear on nautilus desktop. Any help is welcome
[03:35] <dabaR> Chill3r: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[03:36] <nomin> daniel789: there are some live cd's that have the nvidia drivers installed on them already.  You can run a live session with video acceleration.
[03:36] <cox377> does anyone here have a modded xbox and use xlink?
[03:36] <nomin> ah, too late
[03:36] <poolkey172> can someone help me with my networking please ? It doesnt come up automatically
[03:37] <gavi1> ok, i've mounted a partition to protect my backups while i reinstall xubuntu (and format the rest of the harddrive). will the partition be mounted in the same place even after i reinstall? or do i have to mount it again? could anything be lost?
[03:37] <cox377> poolkey172: wireless or wired?
[03:37] <dabaR> Lin: show me your fstab on a pastebin, please
[03:37] <poolkey172> wired
[03:37] <Lin> I forgot to put fstab here ..
[03:37] <poolkey172> cox377 : wired
[03:37] <Lin> dabaR: I will put it on paste bin
[03:37] <dabaR> gavi1: well, it may even be mounted on the same spot, where is it mounted now?
[03:38] <gavi1>  /optacle
[03:38] <gavi1> :  /
[03:38] <dabaR> gavi1: then it likely will not be mounted in the same spot. Sometimes the installer will mount all the /dev/X to /media/X not sure what it will do in you case.
[03:39] <gavi1> dabaR: ok, that's ok. but will the files be safe?
[03:39] <dabaR> poolkey172: do you know how to get your Internet connection working and want us to tell you how to make it automatic, or do you need to get it working too>?
[03:39] <_maney> never mind, found the man pages I needed on a box that's still running Debian.  maybe I need to do that more...
[03:40] <daniel789> where can i locate nvidias drivers if they are installed i want to go to 1280x1024 res
[03:40] <dabaR> gavi1: well, as long as you do not overwrite them all you have an OK chance of that.
[03:40] <Lin> dabaR: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34545/
[03:40] <poolkey172> cox377 : i know that after booting up the machine I have to ifdown eth2; ifup eth2 to get it working
[03:40] <gavi1> ;  X ok. thanks a lot!
[03:40] <mihakriket> I use WINFAX on Windows, I want to know what is a good replacement for Linux?
[03:40] <nomin> I'm trying to add ubuntu to my bootloader which is installed on another distro.  when I type "lilo" in a terminal after editing lilo.conf, I get an error message saying, "Warning: First sector of /dev/hdb3 doesn't have a valid boot signature".  That's where ubuntu is located.  What is going on here and how do I fix this so I can boot into ubuntu?
[03:40] <gavi1> this support stuff rocks. in fact, i find it hard to believe it exists. bye!
[03:41] <daniel789> this screen resolution preferences only go up to 1024x768 i want 1280x1024 :-)
[03:41] <cox377> poolkey172: is there only one eth card in the machine
[03:41] <stefg> !fixres
[03:41] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:41] <poolkey172> cox377 : Yeh its strange
[03:41] <cox377> daniel789: i had the same problem u have to manually edit xorg
[03:41] <poolkey172> eth0 somehow becomes eth2
[03:41] <daniel789> ok
[03:42] <daniel789> is there a way to confirm that i have nvidias legacy drivers?
[03:42] <kleinlappies> I just wanted to say that i have been running windows on top of ubuntu via vmware and it rocks. windows bit slow but more stable now. Hey i need windows for our filemaker db that is no windows. Just though i'd let everyone know that there is no need for a dual boot system.
[03:42] <daniel789> because i went through that package stuff
[03:42] <cox377> daniel789: umm it's dpkg-reconfigure command isnt uit?
[03:42] <poolkey172> cox377 : any ideas ?
[03:42] <cox377> daniel789: what do u mean package stuff?
[03:42] <daniel789> i installed nvidia legacy through
[03:43] <daniel789> synpatic package managment
[03:43] <dabaR> Lin: well, it looks similar to mine: /dev/hdd        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[03:43] <cox377> daniel789: ok, and it still doesnt allow for the rez that u desire
[03:43] <eXp|Dwark^> someone that can help with the Keyboard Stuck issue? when i try to login it keeps presseng the key 100 times lige USERNAME: "Uuussseeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
[03:43] <Lin> I know ;-) its the ubuntu default one.. I have tried to remove udf too..
[03:43] <daniel789> nope,
[03:43] <Lin> im lost..
[03:44] <B|nTaRa> !firewall
[03:44] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[03:44] <kleinlappies> how can i make Linneighbourhood start when ubuntu starts up. at the moment i have to boot linux and open Linneigh.
[03:44] <dabaR> Lin: it does get automounted, but nautilus does not get it, is that a fair description of what happens?
[03:44] <daniel789> anyways im gonna take a break, be right back.
[03:44] <Lin> it didn't automount it.
[03:44] <cox377> daniel789: do u know how to edit the xorg?
[03:44] <Lin> just mount when I click on CDROM drive inside computer place
[03:44] <dabaR> Lin: that would be weird, automount means the computer does it.
[03:45] <daniel789> nope im a newbie.
[03:45] <NET||abuse> hm,, i'm having issues with my machines dns selection when i move from network to network
[03:45] <Chill3r> ok im getting a bit muddled up - im trying this install- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows but how the hell does it work
[03:45] <poolkey172> can anyone help ?
[03:45] <dabaR> Lin: what if you try to cd to the cd right after putting it in, before  click on CDROM drive inside computer place
[03:45] <NET||abuse> it doesn't seem to inherit the local dns settings from networks in /etc/resolv.conf when i go from work to home or vice versa
[03:45] <cox377> give m a shout when u get bakc, make sure u use my name
[03:45] <NET||abuse> is there a way to get it to re-join the network and refresh the dns settings?

[03:46] <Lin> dabaR: didnt automount. after insert the disk on drive.. I cannot cd to it. (i can but isn't mounted). Only after click on cdrom inside computer place
[03:46] <nomin> daniel789: when I install nvidia, I don't need to configure xorg.conf to get acceleration.  I do need to configure it for tv-out to work, though.  You can test if the driver was installed by running an app that uses graphics stuff like ppracer.
[03:46] <desmond> I have been trying to install Ubuntu on my iMac G4 700. There are a host of problems such as GNOME Settings Daemon couldn not start, sometimes it hangs after i type in live. live video=ofonly causes it to hang at a nice peach coloured screen. What could the problem be?

[03:49] <eXp|Dwark^> LjL but it is only 6.10 not 6.06 :S
[03:49] <Chill3r> anybody ?  seems a few problems with this guide - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[03:49] <LjL> eXp|Dwark^, what i can give you is this: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/39315 - i solved the problem by removing plptools in dapper (but i didn't have the problem in edgy). seems like an escaping bug that's due to... who knows. you could try the many suggestions that there are on that report
[03:49] <dabaR> Lin: It took me a while to find what I had in mind... Desktop/gnome/volume_manager, check the automount_media key, it may be off:-/
[03:50] <eXp|Dwark^> LjL thx.. :) ill try
[03:50] <rsl> Nevermind... The new soundcard I installed is having some issues with the volume control. I'm gonna just do a quick reinstall.

[03:51] <eXp|Dwark^> LjL ok.. :)

[03:52] <njan> tx, :. s/./\u&/g
[03:52] <DreamerHxC> hi all
[03:52] <titan> kleinlappies, where did you get vm?
[03:53] <dabaR> Lin: try gnome-volume-properties, that may give you some option, and if not, try running gnome-volume-manager in a terminal. Not really solutions, but that is what I can think of. I am off, see ya.
[03:53] <jah^> anyone know about getting hydra working then?
[03:53] <reverseblade> kleinlappies, what exactly do you want ?
[03:53] <gavi1> I've followed the directions for mounting a partition on the ubuntu wiki, but even though it lists it in mount as r/w, i can't create/copy any files to it. anybody know what my problem is?
[03:53] <jah^> or how to fix make errors referring to stdio.h etc? do I need to install a certain package for the devel headers?
[03:54] <stefg> !build-essential
[03:54] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:54] <eXp|Dwark^> LjL how do i get to the terminal?=
[03:54] <reverseblade> gavi1, have you mount a linux part or win part ?
[03:54] <jah^> thanks stefg
[03:54] <tx> njan ok, found another one easyer, gU or gUU and gu or guu
[03:54] <gavi1> reverseblade: linux, ex2
[03:54] <tx> njan: but tha's just for vim
[03:54] <Scythe128> anyone use qemu here?
[03:55] <gavi1> reverseblade: and its empty (except for t he lost+found folder)
[03:55] <reverseblade> gavi1, there are other tutorials for mount in the wiki.
[03:55] <LjL> eXp|Dwark^, err... if the keyboard problem is that bad for you, i really don't know =) you could try recovery mode, as that shouldn't ask you for a password. it will also not load most services, so perhaps the problem won't be present there
[03:55] <reverseblade> gavi1, does it have rw persmission for all ?
[03:55] <njan> tx, indeed, yeah, that works, but only in vim, not in vi :)
[03:56] <daniel789> well it says in synaptic package manager that i do have nvidia graphics drivers installed
[03:56] <gavi1> reverseblade: if i were to guess, i would say only root, but mount doesn't say who its rw for

[04:03] <reverseblade> gavi1, depending on your requirements. Having that said 755 is the defacto standard . But that depends as I told
[04:04] <reverseblade> kleinlappies, are you using vmware now ?
[04:04] <gavi1> reverseblade: ok, i think i get it. thanks again.
[04:04] <poolkey172> soundray : hiya mate how r u ? : No I can log on kdm as root but not as my uid : where can I find the logs
[04:04] <Joakim> hey
[04:04] <kleinlappies> yes, my windows is running on it. vmware is instaled on ubuntu
[04:04] <soundray> poolkey172: ignore my last line. Can you login as user on a console?
[04:04] <reverseblade> eXp|Dwark^, is that happnens only while you are logging in ?
[04:04] <kleinlappies> reverseblade,  yes, my windows is running on it. vmware is instaled on ubuntu
[04:04] <Joakim> can someone help me?
[04:05] <poolkey172> soundray : yes I can ssh as well the uid is fine
[04:05] <reverseblade> kleinlappies, doh,
[04:05] <IdleOne> Joakim ask your question
[04:05] <reverseblade> kleinlappies, have you installed vmware tools ?
[04:05] <soundray> poolkey172: so it fails only when you login at the gdm window?
[04:05] <poolkey172> soundray : theres something fishy happening with x
[04:05] <eltese> Hi. Im thinking about installing and running Ubuntu on my computer with the purpose of getting rid of my windows partition. But in my previous installs Ive encountered some probs when actually running and trying to get optimized drivers for my graphics card as well getting my NTFS partition to work properly when in linux. I cant reach the files. So I wonder if anyone knows why it is so?
[04:05] <poolkey172> soundray : correct
[04:05] <soundray> poolkey172: what are the symptoms?
[04:05] <u01p2109> I have problem to install Riva TNT2 64MB
[04:06] <poolkey172> soundray : blackscreen - cursor - then back to kdm
[04:06] <reverseblade> kleinlappies, you may also consider increasing memory usage of the relevant vm in the config
[04:06] <eXp|Dwark^> reverseblade yes and if i get logged in it still does it..
[04:06] <reverseblade> eXp|Dwark^, how can you type now ?
[04:06] <jenda> How do I list all mounted devices?
[04:06] <soundray> poolkey172: have you looked at $HOME/.xsession-errors for logged messages?
[04:06] <poolkey172> soundray : yup
[04:06] <apokryphos> jenda: mount
[04:06] <kleinlappies> reverseblade, yes did all that. i suppose im going to get myself another gig of ram (that will help) i have like 1 and a half gigs of ram.
[04:06] <eXp|Dwark^> reverseblade my mother ms machine :D
[04:07] <reverseblade> kleinlappies, with 256 mb ram, windows looks fine on my vm
[04:07] <soundray> eltese: NTFS is a closed filesystem. It is fairly difficult to develop free drivers for it. However, with recent versions of fuse, even NTFS read&write works reasonably well.
[04:07] <soundray> poolkey172: so?
[04:07] <dbe> Why cannot I chown a symlink with: sudo chown www-data /var/www   ?
[04:07] <eXp|Dwark^> reverseblade but i think ill just download 6.06 and install that and wait until they a comming up with a newer version that maybe works again.. :D
[04:07] <poolkey172> soundray : nothing is logged in it
[04:07] <eltese> soundray okay. And what is fuse? :)
[04:08] <reverseblade> eXp|Dwark^, peripherals like keyboard monitor are configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:08] <fulat2k> hi folks, any idea why my usb transfer is really slow even though i have a usb2 device + port?
[04:08] <soundray> eltese: regarding video drivers, the big names NVidia and ATI are kind of half-heartedly supporting free OSs.
[04:08] <poolkey172> SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhugar
[04:08] <fulat2k> it's like transferring at usb1 speeds
[04:08] <soundray> poolkey172: behave yourself
[04:08] <poolkey172> I think I see the problem

[04:08] <soundray> poolkey172: what is it then?
[04:08] <dbe> soundray, sudo chown www-data /var/www  to set www-data as owner to /var/www (which is a symlink), but why does it not work for me?

[04:09] <kleinlappies> reverseblade, do you maybe know why the win machine on vm will drop my network connection every now and again? taking a chance here
[04:09] <soundray> poolkey172: ownership problems then. No reason to paste in the channel, though.
[04:09] <monokrome> Hrm...
[04:09] <eXp|Dwark^> reverseblade ive tried to look at forums.. cant find an answer.. dont know how to disable my touchpad on a desktop pc.. hehe :P
[04:09] <poolkey172> soundray : sorry : and ps thanks for helping : sorry for me being an idiot
[04:09] <reverseblade> kleinlappies, I have not much experience with vmware, all I can say, I am content with the default configuration
[04:10] <soundray> poolkey172: aren't we all from time to time...
[04:10] <poolkey172> soundray : pps I got that raid working and am loving it :)
[04:10] <reverseblade> eXp|Dwark^, I assure you there is a solution for that unless your keyboard is broken
[04:10] <soundray> poolkey172: oh, well done! What was the secret?
[04:10] <eltese> ubotu hmms ok. Well in worst case scenario Ill just burn out the stuff I really want to keep and do a full format

[04:10] <dbe> How do I chown a symlink?
[04:10] <kleinlappies> reverseblade, oh OK. I will look around a bit more and come back to post my findings. thaks agian
[04:11] <dbe> sudo chown foo /file does not work at all for me.
[04:11] <poolkey172> soundray : what do u think ? I rsynced my laptops backup to it hence the permission problems :) I couldnt get a full installer running on the raid
[04:12] <poolkey172> soundray : 18second(bootchart) to boot up :)
[04:12] <soundray> poolkey172: what about the grub issue?
[04:12] <eXp|Dwark^> reverseblade im a linux noob.. hehe.. so im just doing it the easy way that i know works :D
[04:12] <norbertauslinz> can i ask
[04:12] <soundray> norbertauslinz: sure
[04:12] <eltese> Is there anywhere a list on compatible games (wich are created for windows) in linux?

[04:13] <daniel789> dunno but i am installing unreal tournament 2004.
[04:13] <reverseblade> eXp|Dwark^, there is nothing wrong with that. some times it is better to know where to look rather than the where to find exact solution. If there is a solution for you it is in that file I have mentioned and prolly there is
 i have a problem with ubuntu server
[04:13] <poolkey172> soundray : As I said be careful how the BIOS manages the disks : I am basically booting raid2 card (ubuntu) via raid1 card (windows with wingrub wingrub points to the bootrecord of raid2)
[04:14] <monokrome> argh... When I run speaker-test, everything is perfect. When I run a stereo movie in mplayer, it plays fine. When I run a movie with more channels, there is no sound for the movie. Anyone know what could cause this? :/
[04:14] <poolkey172> soundray : raid2's bootrecord is created offline by chroot to the / of the RAID via the live cd
[04:14] <eXp|Dwark^> reverseblade i just dont know where to vies the log files :) now im reparing a friends computer.. can you pm me? :) so i can remember what you say :D
[04:15] <soundray> poolkey172: I feel confirmed in my skeptical attitude towards RAID ;)
[04:15] <daniel789> i just use ide,
[04:15] <daniel789> heh
[04:15] <poolkey172> soundray u should see the performance : this is pseudo software raid
[04:15] <reverseblade> eXp|Dwark^, sorry I am also a bit busy right now. But I am sure someone would help you out here
[04:16] <soundray> norbertauslinz: we need a description of your problem. Without that, we can't help.
[04:16] <monokrome> hrm
[04:16] <monokrome> got it to work... Just REAL quiet.
[04:16] <monokrome> :D

[04:16] <poolkey172> soundray : Timing buffered disk reads:  284 MB in  3.01 seconds =  94.23 MB/sec
[04:17] <daniel789> :-), my hd speed is like 10mb, slow enough for breaks.
[04:17] <poolkey172> I've seen burst of 110MB/s but I'm skeptical if they are correct
[04:18] <poolkey172> daniel789 : Lol my lappy is similiar speed

[04:19] <poolkey172> soundray : I wonder if all this hastle was worth it to get just 40MB/s more speed
[04:19] <soundray> poolkey172: when you get 10x performance from a RAID, I'll switch over ;)
[04:19] <soundray> abhish3k: you don't. Not on ubuntu.
[04:20] <poolkey172> soundray : lol :)

[04:20] <Joakim> Hey
[04:20] <poolkey172> soundray : One last thing if u got the time to help me ?
[04:20] <abhish3k> please
[04:20] <Joakim> I need help with the installing of JRE
[04:20] <abhish3k> i forgot root passwd
[04:20] <stefg> abhish3k: check what the bot pm'ed you
[04:20] <reverseblade> Joakim, it is available in the repos
[04:21] <daniel789> game is installed as sudo which i think is root
[04:21] <Joakim> Is it?
[04:21] <poolkey172> abhisk3k : sudo -s (return) passwd (return)
[04:21] <daniel789> can someone explain this, http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/9407/screenshotcz6.png
[04:21] <daniel789> yeye pw
[04:21] <abhish3k> i forgot root passwd
[04:21] <reverseblade> abhish3k, oops :)
[04:21] <poolkey172> abhisk3k : sudo -s (return) passwd (return)
[04:22] <abhish3k> help please
[04:22] <reverseblade> Joakim, absolutely
[04:22] <reverseblade> abhish3k, you have to boot your computer from another partition then delete the password file
[04:22] <Joakim> I've installed it now
[04:22] <reverseblade> abhish3k, that's your only chance
[04:23] <jturek> is there a client that can access Microsoft LCS in ubuntu?
[04:23] <abhish3k> reverseblade: ok
[04:23] <jturek> Its the *only* thing i can't do in linux right now...
[04:23] <reverseblade> jturek, what is LCS ?
[04:23] <abhish3k> any other solution?
[04:23] <poolkey172> abhisk3k : I told u
[04:23] <stefg> daniel789: i think you have no hardware 3D accel... check !ati or !nvidia to get a 3D enabled driver
[04:23] <Joakim> Any sites where I can test if JRE is working?
[04:23] <reverseblade> abhish3k, grap the password file and grap a password cracker and wait 90 days to crack
[04:23] <jturek> reverseblade: Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 (Office Communicator)
[04:24] <daniel789> !nvidia
[04:24] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:24] <jturek> reverseblade: we use it in our corp im enviornment
[04:24] <soundray> abhish3k: can you use sudo on your normal account?
[04:24] <dcordes> how can i copy copyrighted dvds?
[04:24] <reverseblade> Joakim, JRE has nothing to do with the internet, what  you are asking is the java plugin for your browser
[04:24] <abhish3k> soundray: no
[04:24] <poolkey172> abhisk3k : yes
[04:24] <reverseblade> jturek, oh ok
[04:24] <poolkey172> abhisk3k : oh well
[04:24] <jturek> i thought maybe gaim would have a plugin
[04:24] <jturek> but don't see one
[04:25] <soundray> abhish3k: in that case, I suggest you boot in recovery mode and reset the root passwd with 'passwd'
[04:25] <Joakim> Ok
[04:25] <reverseblade> jturek, although I love gaim, it is pretty weak on these matters
[04:25] <abhish3k> soundray: recovery mode needs root passwd
[04:25] <soundray> abhish3k: but you should really use root the ubuntu way, like ubotu msg'd you.
[04:25] <soundray> abhish3k: not on a standard setup.
[04:26] <daniel789> okay it says i do have drivers installed however when i copy and paste the enable command it gave me this
[04:26] <daniel789> http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/2774/screenshot1fo7.png
[04:26] <poolkey172> anyone know how I can delete these files ?
[04:26] <poolkey172> Nov 28 14:56:09 rcS: ld_static: cannot open output file /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-g
[04:26] <poolkey172> eneric/volatile/fcdsl.ko: Read-only file system
[04:26] <soundray> abhish3k: if you have screwed up your installation like that, you should boot from a live CD
[04:26] <reverseblade> daniel789, there is a syntax error in your config file
[04:26] <abhish3k> soundray: i think that sounds nice
[04:26] <reverseblade> daniel789, no ignore what I said
[04:27] <Wyvern> Does Ubuntu Server come with X11 support? Keep getting "Error: Can't open display" when I'm trying to use X11-forwarding over SSH (yes, i used -X)
[04:27] <Wyvern> connecting to old Red Hat boxes works fine, but this ubuntu box just refuse to work. :(
[04:27] <soundray> abhish3k: from the live CD, mount your root partition to /mnt, run 'sudo gedit /etc/passwd' and replace the first line of that file with 'root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash'
[04:27] <soundray> abhish3k: after that, boot in recovery mode and use passwd to reset the root password.
[04:28] <abhish3k> soundray: work in progress
[04:28] <soundray> Wyvern: Ubuntu Server is without X by default
[04:28] <stefg> daniel789: did you 'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable'? You might have the driver, but to be used it needs to say 'driver nvidia' instead of 'driver nv' in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:28] <daniel789> ok
[04:29] <daniel789> yes i copy and pasted it
[04:29] <Wyvern> so it wouldn't support X11 on other displays either?
[04:29] <daniel789> as you see,
[04:29] <rausb0> Wyvern: check if X11Forwarding is allowed in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server
[04:29] <abhish3k> soundray: hats off for you
[04:29] <Wyvern> i've checked that allready, rausb0.
[04:29] <abhish3k> soundray: it worked
[04:29] <soundray> abhish3k: thanks. Please consider doing root the Ubuntu way.
[04:29] <rausb0> Wyvern: is xauth installed as well?
[04:29] <abhish3k> soundray: rox
[04:29] <Wyvern> ...
[04:30] <stefg> daniel789: what does glxinfo | grep direct yield?
[04:30] <abhish3k> soundray: well can i install KDE through live cd?
[04:30] <pdlnhrd> to upgrade to edgy  i am trying   gksudo "update-manager -d"  and it is not giving me the option to upgrade... is that the wrong command?
[04:30] <Wyvern> Ubuntu Server: Nothing Included?
[04:30] <soundray> Wyvern: what program are you trying to run remotely?
[04:30] <Wyvern> ehm, xclock for starters
[04:30] <abhish3k> abhish3k: using edgy right now
[04:30] <jeff2> when I try to update my system using the update notifier in gnome, I get "Only one software management tool is allowed to run at a the same time". I don't have aptitude or synaptic running. where are the lock files I can delete to make it so I can update my system?
[04:30] <Linuturk> @lamp
[04:30] <soundray> abhish3k: yes, but you need the kubuntu live CD
[04:31] <soundray> !lamp | Linuturk
[04:31] <ubotu> Linuturk: lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.  For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  -  See also the Server CD install menu.
[04:31] <abhish3k> soundray: i have it
[04:31] <Linuturk> thanks soundray
[04:31] <reverseblade> #off-topic: PHP sucks hard !
[04:31] <abhish3k> soundray: dont know how to use it for installing kde
[04:31] <daniel789> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:31] <Wyvern> but installing xauth did the trick.
[04:31] <soundray> abhish3k: kubuntu = ubuntu + KDE
[04:31] <rausb0> Wyvern: ssh uses xauth to manage the display permissions
[04:31] <abhish3k> soundray: i know
[04:32] <soundray> abhish3k: kubuntu live will install KDE by default
[04:32] <daniel789> it said that > Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
[04:32] <daniel789> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:32] <Wyvern> yeah, I have to admit i actually knew that, but I keep assuming that stuff is included. :P
[04:32] <Linuturk> soundray, will that work with edgy?
[04:32] <abhish3k> soundray: using ubuntu edgy
[04:32] <scythe128> why is it you can use the ubuntu install as a live cd and have kde but you cant install kde from the ubuntu install cd?
[04:32] <rausb0> Wyvern: okay :)
[04:32] <abhish3k> soundray: want ot install kde on ubuntu from kde live cd
[04:32] <soundray> abhish3k: to install KDE on an existing ubuntu system, do 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'
[04:33] <abhish3k> soundray: tried the command but not working
[04:33] <scythe128> soundray.. you can actually just type apt-get install kde and it will get everything also
[04:33] <soundray> abhish3k: can't do that. You need the kubuntu alternative CD to do that
[04:33] <abhish3k> soundray: from where can i get that?
[04:33] <soundray> abhish3k: you have to enable repositories
[04:33] <abhish3k> soundray: which repositories?
[04:34] <soundray> !repos | abhish3k
[04:34] <ubotu> abhish3k: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:35] <pdlnhrd> what is the proper command to do a dist upgrade? i am trying gksudo "update-manager -d"  and it is not giving option for upgrade
[04:35] <abhish3k> soundray: !repos | abhish3k means what?
[04:35] <dbe> pdlnhrd, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:35] <pdlnhrd> dbe: doesn't work either
[04:35] <soundray> abhish3k: it's an instruction to ubotu to send you info about repositories. Look ^^
[04:35] <rausb0> abhish3k: just read what ubotu said
[04:36] <dbe> pdlnhrd, Should do.
[04:36] <reverseblade> pdlnhrd, check : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades?highlight=%28upgrade%29
[04:36] <pdlnhrd> dbe: that is sort of why i am asking... i know it should
[04:36] <wikijeff> How can I have my wireless interface not be enabled when I startup my computer?? Thanks.
[04:36] <soundray> scythe128: kubuntu-desktop is a much more complete environment than just kde
[04:36] <abhish3k> soundray: ok
[04:36] <scythe128> really?  Ill have to go over to the kubuntu forum and ask some questions
[04:37] <scythe128> bbl
[04:37] <abhish3k> ubotu: ok
[04:37] <reverseblade> wikijeff, /etc/network
[04:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ok - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:37] <pdlnhrd> reverseblade:  thanks... i thought it was the -d switch...
[04:37] <quiet> with apache virtual hosts.... when i make new virtual host files...  is"NameVirtualHost" supposed to be the sitename, i.e. - fooar.com or the server's IP address and then specify the site name in <VirtualHost ....>  ?
[04:37] <samgee> join #ubuntu-classroom
[04:37] <soundray> wikijeff: edit '/etc/network/interfaces' and remove the line that says 'auto wlan0' (assuming that your wireless interface is called wlan0)
[04:37] <wikijeff> soundray, reverseblade: thanks
[04:38] <BlueEagle> quiet: You migth want to try #apache if you don't get any help with that here. Also have a look-see in the apache documentation. I'm told that it's quite comprehencive.
[04:38] <wikijeff> soundray: And then can I enable it while my computer is running with ifup ?
[04:38] <soundray> wikijeff: yes, 'sudo ifup wlan0'
[04:39] <quiet> BlueEagle, #apache generally won't give support because various distro's mangle apache from it's default form...
[04:39] <wikijeff> soundray: ok, thanks
[04:39] <reverseblade> wikijeff, not without modifying the same file again
[04:39] <BlueEagle> quiet: Then you might want to try the documentation.
[04:40] <wikijeff> reverseblade, soundray: I need to modify the same file again to enable it? I can't use ifup?
[04:40] <BlueEagle> quiet: /usr/share/doc/apache2/ might be a good place to start. :)
[04:40] <jorgp> is there a release of gnome 2.16.2 for edgy some place?
[04:40] <quiet> yes... thanks.
[04:40] <reverseblade> wikijeff, use dhclient instead of ifup, it is better generally
[04:40] <reverseblade> jorgp, no
[04:40] <rausb0> wikijeff: you can. reverseblade is wrong.
[04:40] <samu> How do you change what programs to auto-start when logging in to gnome?
[04:41] <samu> I got a tip to change the .xprofile
[04:41] <jorgp> reverseblade, wonder why
[04:41] <reverseblade> samu System > Preferences > Sessions > startup
[04:41] <rausb0> reverseblade: ifup will just call dhclient if the interface is set to dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces
[04:41] <samu> reverseblade, thanks

[04:41] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:41] <rausb0> reverseblade: so no reason for not using ifup
[04:42] <reverseblade> jorgp, because ubuntu has a development cycle of 6 months which is roughly synchronized with gnome. new version of ubuntu = new version of gnome usually
[04:42] <reverseblade> rausb0, I didn't know that, thanks
[04:42] <jorgp> reverseblade, but it would seem logical to stay up with latest stable for your current release
[04:43] <reverseblade> jorgp, not in deed, gnome is one of the core parts of ubuntu, so it is better to have a developer - touched edition rather than the standard one. I am sure it will work fine, but I wouldn't recommend it
[04:44] <daniel789> why is  sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum takeing time , when i enter it. when i type text in terminal my text is doubled
[04:44] <poolkey172> still haven't worked out why my networking doesn't start at boottime :(
[04:44] <poolkey172> can anyone help me to debug it ?
[04:45] <monokrome> Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[04:45] <MrKeuner> hi, isn't banshee on edgy too slow. I was using it former release, and it was quite fast then. What happened?
[04:45] <poolkey172> monokrome : how do u pastebin ?
[04:45] <poolkey172> !pastebin
[04:45] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[04:48] <Ji31> hei, mit kuuluu?
[04:49] <monokrome> Very peculiar.

[04:52] <rausb0> poolkey172: check /etc/iftab
[04:52] <Wyvern> And the "fix" for this is to use lppasswd, which is not avalible even through apt-get, anyone know how to do this?
[04:52] <soundray> Ji31: Wie geht's? (de)
[04:52] <tuna-fish-> Here's a dumb newbie question: I just bought a dvd-burner and plugged it into my system. Ubuntu didn't automatically recognize it, how should  i proceed in installing it?
[04:52] <poolkey172> SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
[04:52] <Ji31> soundray: aha, but I don't speak de
[04:52] <thrice`> tuna-fish-, did you reboot ?
[04:53] <rausb0> poolkey172: i mean the file /etc/iftab
[04:53] <rausb0> poolkey172: check its contents
[04:53] <soundray> tuna-fish-: how is your drive connected?
[04:53] <tuna-fish-> pata
[04:53] <poolkey172> monokrome : rausb0 : ok
[04:54] <poolkey172> rausb0 : LOL and there lies my problem :) can I modify it and correct it ?
[04:54] <rausb0> poolkey172: yeah
[04:54] <monokrome> poolkey172: What happens when you ifup eth0?
[04:54] <soundray> tuna-fish-: did you set the jumpers correctly?
[04:54] <tuna-fish-> fstab entry for it is: /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[04:54] <rausb0> poolkey172: i suppose you moved that linux system from one machine to another?
[04:54] <poolkey172> thanks rausb0 and monikrome :
[04:54] <soundray> tuna-fish-: so it should be jumpered as a slave
[04:54] <tuna-fish-> why?
[04:55] <poolkey172> rausb0 : Yeh have not been hearing the volume level coming from me ?
[04:55] <soundray> tuna-fish-: /dev/hdb is always the slave drive on the first IDE channel (with /dev/hda present)
[04:55] <poolkey172> rausb0 : Sorted all the things out include /lib/module volatile
[04:56] <Holmen> somebody here that has any experience from starting a FTP server that shall share an NTFS(-3g) partition?
[04:56] <beryltrouble> Holmen, me not.. sorry
[04:56] <rausb0> poolkey172: i dont have the time to keep reading this channel permanently
[04:56] <monokrome> lol
[04:56] <poolkey172> rausb0 : lol
[04:56] <monokrome> Anyone seen this work on linux:
[04:57] <monokrome> http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/wireless/wireless_prod/AWN-8010/
[04:57] <Holmen> hey, you dont have to make fun of me
[04:57] <poolkey172> rausb0 : long story short ubuntu copied to RAID0 dmraid
[04:57] <Wyvern> Waaarhg. Anyone else had problems with the CUPS web-interface? It's killing me!
[04:57] <brianski> what's a good gui irc client for gnome?
[04:57] <rausb0> poolkey172: aha okay
[04:57] <thrice`> brianski, xchat
[04:57] <daniel789> how would you change nv to nvidia, http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3760/screenshot2vr8.png??
[04:57] <tuna-fish-> soundray: not quite that simple, as my hda isn't the master of my first ide channel, courtesy of some bios magic. Still, that was my problem, bios not properly set up.
[04:57] <monokrome> Eeew. XChat
[04:57] <monokrome> :'(
[04:57] <beryltrouble> brianski, xchat...
[04:58] <rausb0> irssi! :)
[04:58] <brianski> lots of votes for xchat
[04:58] <brianski> hm
[04:58] <brianski> i'm surprised there isn't a gnome-specific way
[04:58] <monokrome>
[04:58] <soundray> tuna-fish-: is your secondary IDE channel occupied?
[04:58] <monokrome> rausb0: irssi <3
[04:58] <poolkey172> rausb0 : going for the reboot soon : please network work dont make me get out of bed :)
[04:59] <daniel789> yo can someone forward me to ubuntu chat about graphics drivers, thanks.
[04:59] <soundray> !xgl | daniel789
[04:59] <ubotu> daniel789: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[04:59] <tuna-fish-> soundray: yes, by hda and a bios-masked drive.
[05:00] <tuna-fish-> in primary hdb and another masked drive
[05:00] <daniel789> hello guys, how do you, change nv to nvidia, i am a newbie,  http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3760/screenshot2vr8.png
[05:00] <soundray> tuna-fish-: okay, weird setup. I was going to suggest you put the DVD on a separate IDE channel to gain some speed.
[05:00] <tuna-fish-> linux probably sees them differently
[05:01] <daniel789> http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3760/screenshot2vr8.png
[05:01] <brianski> hmm
[05:01] <poolkey172> LOL
[05:02] <brianski> E: couldn't find package xchat
[05:02] <poolkey172> You guessed it I rebooted myself
[05:02] <tuna-fish-> actually, I'm gonna do just that, taking the masked drives out.
[05:02] <poolkey172> duh
[05:02] <brianski> is xchat not completely free pure software whatev?
[05:02] <soundray> !info xchat |  brianski
[05:02] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.6-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 275 kB, installed size 760 kB
[05:02] <thrice`> brianski, opensource?  yes
[05:03] <soundray> brianski: I guess your repos aren't setup correctly.
[05:03] <brianski> i need universe, it seems>
[05:03] <brianski> ya. thanks soundray
[05:03] <soundray> brianski: Wherever you go, there you are.
[05:03] <soundray> (Buckaroo Banzai)
[05:04] <brianski> does anyone here use backports?
[05:04] <daniel789> please,help a Nubbie :-) ,  http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3760/screenshot2vr8.png look at that
[05:04] <dcordes> is there a way to install edgy to an existing ext3 fs without neccessarily formatting it?
[05:05] <nomin> when I do "fdisk -l", what does the star mean under the 'boot' section?
[05:05] <jeff2> when I try to update my system using the update notifier in gnome, I get "Only one software management tool is allowed to run at a the same time". I don't have aptitude or synaptic running. where are the lock files I can delete to make it so I can update my system?
[05:05] <soundray> daniel789: run that line that it suggests (beginning with md5sum) with sudo, then retry
[05:05] <jeff2> nomin: bootable
[05:05] <daniel789> ok
[05:05] <nomin> jeff2: does that mean the partitions not marked are not bootable?
[05:05] <soundray> nomin: it only means something for the old DOS MBR boot thingy
[05:06] <daniel789> okay i did that asked for password, put it in Although i did not see, password dots
[05:06] <jeff2> nomin, * means bootable, no star is not bootable
[05:06] <brianski> soundray: that's not true - the prtition with the * gets booted if you have multiple OSs installed
[05:06] <soundray> daniel789: you don't get "password dots" in the terminal.
[05:06] <Healot> i got OSS installed
[05:07] <daniel789> KK
[05:07] <soundray> brianski: exactly, but only if you have an old DOS style MBR.
[05:07] <nomin> "Warning: First sector of /dev/hdb3 doesn't have a valid boot signature"  <-- /deb/hdb3 has a star in "fdisk -l".
[05:07] <Joakim> Hey
[05:07] <daniel789> okay so i put in sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum after closeing terminal
[05:07] <brianski> soundray: what is the new alternative?
[05:07] <jeff2> daniel789, the password isn't echoed because that would reveal its length. its more secure to turn off echo completely
[05:07] <nomin> */dev/hdb3
[05:07] <soundray> brianski: grub, lilo, ...
[05:07] <Joakim> I have tried to install (Frost|Lime)wire
[05:08] <daniel789> now if i type a letter in it does a echo , 2 letters
[05:08] <daniel789> yea..
[05:08] <daniel789> but im a nub.
[05:08] <Joakim> It won't launch
[05:08] <Joakim> I know what it is
[05:08] <Zbyshek> Good afternoon. Do someone have working bluez-utils on edgy? Or do someone tried to install debian packages on ubuntu?
[05:08] <daniel789> so im gonna wait if something happens now.
[05:08] <Joakim> When I try to run it from the terminal
[05:08] <brianski> soundray: ah
[05:08] <Joakim> It prints out an message
[05:09] <Joakim> runFrost.sh: 44: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")
[05:09] <Joakim> So I opened runFrost.sh
[05:09] <soundray> Joakim: edit the first line of runFrost.sh and replace sh with bash
[05:09] <Joakim> Ok, thanks
[05:10] <Joakim> I couldn't find any special in line 44
[05:10] <poolkey172> hmmmm network is still not working sympthoms are that the interface is being brought uo at bought time but just waiting at dhcp
[05:10] <soundray> Joakim: it's because runFrost expects bash, but edgy has dash as a synonym for sh
[05:11] <Wyvern> ...i think I broke apt-get somehow. :(
[05:11] <soundray> Wyvern: what's the symptom?
[05:11] <Wyvern> tried to unsinstall and reinstall cupsys, and now it refuses to reinstall it
[05:11] <daniel789> take it out on the cat then lol
[05:11] <Joakim> I see
[05:11] <Wyvern> Setting up cupsys (1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06) ...
[05:11] <Wyvern>  * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
[05:11] <Wyvern> cupsd: Child exited with status 1!
[05:12] <Joakim> But it didn't work
[05:12] <rambo3> cat /etc/passwd | grep $(whoami)
[05:12] <Wyvern> Errors were encountered while processing:
[05:12] <Wyvern>  cupsys
[05:12] <Wyvern> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[05:12] <soundray> Wyvern: don't paste errors here!
[05:12] <soundray> !pastebin | Wyvern
[05:12] <ubotu> Wyvern: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:12] <Wyvern> sorry, that was just a small part of it tho. :P
[05:13] <Joakim> soundray: It didn't work
[05:13] <Wyvern> anyway, the symptom is that the child exit with status 1. :P
[05:13] <soundray> Wyvern: reboot before you try anything else
[05:13] <Wyvern> did that.
[05:13] <soundray> !doesn't work | Joakim
[05:13] <ubotu> Joakim: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[05:13] <Joakim> lol
[05:14] <Wyvern> funny thing is that if I try to install anything else, that crashes too, after the line "Setting up cupsys .."
[05:14] <Joakim> It still print the same error
[05:14] <rambo3> Joakim, what script  ? paste it maby
[05:14] <Wyvern> thus, i broke apt-get
[05:14] <cherubiel> Wyvern: use -f
[05:14] <Joakim> runFrost.sh
[05:14] <Joakim> 2 sec
[05:14] <Joakim> I'll paste it
[05:14] <cherubiel> Joakim: pastebin it
[05:15] <abufaress> hi
[05:15] <rambo3> Wyvern, no . child exited with status 1 , means sub proccess got errorr , meaning maby unpacking faild , you forgot sudo
[05:15] <eneried> hello, could somebody tell me what file is used to configure the text mode on linux? not xorg.conf, i need to work without any x server...
[05:15] <soundray> Wyvern: find out what the specific error is that causes the setup script to exit with 1. It might be in /var/log/syslog or somewhere in /var/log/cups/
[05:15] <Wyvern> i am root...
[05:15] <benny99> My sounddevice number changes sometimes, so my soundcard isn't hw:0,0 , but hw:2,0 , how can I fix that ?
[05:15] <eneried> just tty, console or chel, whatever you name it
[05:15] <eneried> excuse me, shell
[05:15] <soundray> rambo3: without sudo, (s)he wouldn't even have got this far.
[05:16] <eneried> I need to work from command line only, and I need to set up the fonts, the keyboard layout, and the language
[05:16] <abufaress>
[05:16] <cherubiel> eneried: whats your question again? what do you want to do exactly?
[05:16] <abufaress> arabic?
[05:16] <cherubiel> !ar
[05:16] <rambo3> soundray, i was just giving an example of error messages
[05:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ar - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:17] <benny99> !cow
[05:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cow - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:17] <brianski> quick poll: evolution or thunderbird?
[05:17] <Joakim> Here ya go: http://rafb.net/paste/results/qdu6Lc60.html
[05:17] <poolkey172> can I remove the .Xauthority file ? will it be regenerated ?
[05:17] <soundray> brianski: mutt
[05:17] <cherubiel> +1 :)

[05:19] <eneried> soundray, i used console-setup, but it didn't works
[05:19] <Wyvern> soundray: thanks for the tip, it seems some old bogus config file is the problem. Do you know how I can totally wipe cupsys, with config files (those in /etc/cups) and everything to get a fresh reinstall of the package?
[05:19] <soundray> !doesn't work | eneried
[05:19] <ubotu> eneried: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[05:20] <eneried> :( ok
