[04:04] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, still in terminal -->type:   cat /etc/apt/sources.list  --> paste that to website   --> paste.ubuntu.com  hit paste and give us the url here
[04:04] <FLJohn> JDU: let me look up the motherboard
[04:04] <Pici> FLJohn: The processor determines whether it can handle a 64bit architecture OS, not the RAM or motherboard.
[04:04] <xTheGoat121x> prince_jammys, still does not allow GDM to start
[04:04] <Xcell> look at the bios for that model # on the board
[04:05] <xTheGoat121x> losher, I can probably get network connectivity...
[04:05] <Xcell> versions mean allot
[04:05] <Pici> !who
[04:05] <FLJohn> pici: thank you.  Its a Dual core pentium 2.5 Ghx
[04:05] <FLJohn> ghz
[04:05] <losher> xTheGoat121x: too many cooks right now. Why don't you and prince_jammys work on it a bit more & then if you don't make progress I'll give it a try...
[04:05] <Higgins> I have a problem with my new Lenovo laptop.  After loading, there's a black screen and nothing appear.
[04:05] <xTheGoat121x> losher, but ssh-ing into the machine... can that be done with a crossover cable?
[04:06] <prince_jammys> xTheGoat121x: the errors from /var/log/Xorg.0.log are probably the most relevant.
[04:06] <jdu> FLJohn, does the label on the outside of the box (or on the palm rest) have 64 on it.
[04:06] <prince_jammys> losher: no, please.
[04:06] <prince_jammys> losher: i don't mind, plus i have no idea what the origin of the problem is.
[04:06] <jdu> FLJohn, I know that is not scientific but they want to advertise the 64ness
[04:06] <FLJohn> jdu: it was a barbones kit sent by mistake I do not know that much about it.  Guess I should research it.
[04:07] <prince_jammys> losher: all that i can tell is that /usr seems to mount properly, but X won't start.
[04:07] <Xcell> what video card is it
[04:07] <FLJohn> jdu: Vision man sent me the wrong computer first then they sent me a rebuild of the right computer and never asked for the wrong one back
[04:08] <losher> xTheGoat121x: if you dont have network connectivity, was the whole thing installed entirely from CD? I'm thinking we can probably just reinstall the xserver...
[04:08] <Higgins> Xcell, me?
[04:08] <FLJohn> I am paying them for this one too now.  do not have the correct manifest with the correct print outs cause the manifest on the wrong computer was the correct components with the right computer
[04:08] <chiques> I have a couple of empty partitions that were created during my ubuntu upgrade. How can I merge them to my home directory?
[04:09] <bazhang> core duo is 32 bit ; core 2 duo is 64 bit
[04:09] <FLJohn> thanks baz
[04:09] <prince_jammys> !gparted | chiques : Get the live CD:
[04:09] <FLJohn> bazhang: that should be in Bios right?
[04:10] <prince_jammys> chiques: actually, gparted comes with the ubuntu Live CD, if you have it. Boot to that and use "partition editor"
[04:10] <xTheGoat121x> losher, here's the long version of the story. I have an eeepc 2g surf that only has a 2gb SSD. I'm using eeebuntu, and everytime i tried to put /usr on an SD card right from installation, it didn't work
[04:10] <chiques> prince_jammys, ubottu So I have to boot off the live cd to merge them?
[04:10] <bazhang> FLJohn, the core duo/core2 duo? not sure; usually I see it on the outside of the case, you can find out in the terminal though
[04:10] <philf]> Good evening, with Ubuntu 9.* using aMSN .97 I can't seem to recieve files or view contacts webcams, I've tried disableing the firewall, allowing port 6891 no avail...any ideas? thanks!
[04:10] <puff> Hey guys, I have this box with jaunty freshly installed onit, eth0  is there and appears to come up but no response from dhcp.
[04:11] <puff> Any suggestions?
[04:11] <prince_jammys> chiques: i suggest so.
[04:11] <xTheGoat121x> losher, so instead, I installed to the 2GB SSD with plans on moving /usr to the SD card post-installation
[04:11] <chiques> Thanks!
[04:11] <prince_jammys> chiques: what you'll do is stretch your /home so it takes over the available space.
[04:11] <dpetrosky1> (bazhang) http://paste.ubuntu.com/220222/
[04:12] <bazhang> FLJohn, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:12] <prince_jammys> chiques: .... provided the partitions are next to each other.
[04:12] <losher> xTheGoat121x: so in fact you've never had a successful installation on this hardware? And X has never worked?
[04:12] <FLJohn> looks like there is only 3.25 gigs of memory
[04:13]  * prince_jammys pulls his hair if X has never worked and that wasn't mentioned.
[04:13] <xTheGoat121x> losher, no, actually I've had great success with this hardware. The problem is that the 2GB hard drive winds up with 55mb free after installation, and I'd like to be able to have more installed than just Firefox
[04:13] <jdu> FLJohn, if you are running 32 bit ubuntu, run    sudo lshw -html > lshw.html && firefox lshw.html &
[04:13] <jdu> FLJohn, the resulting html file will tell you the width of the processor
[04:13]  * losher has no hair to pull
[04:13] <xTheGoat121x> losher, the issue with booting only began after moving /usr to the SD card
[04:14] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, to an sd card?
[04:14] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, you can probably find a trashed computer witha 20 gig drive or use a distro that only consumes 200mb or so.
[04:15] <xTheGoat121x> jdu, yes, to an SD card.
[04:15] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, you'll ware it out.
[04:15] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, probably
[04:15] <xTheGoat121x> jdu, it's a netbook
[04:15] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, how did you format it?
[04:15] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, ah, yes
[04:15] <xTheGoat121x> jdu, how it's formatted currently doesn't matter -- I know that ext3 is bad for flash memory
[04:15] <FLJohn> Ok Gang.  I am going to load 8.04 lts until I can get another Sata cable here so I do not have to swap cables again.  Talk in an few.  I need to rip this one apart .  Talk in a few.
[04:16] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, sorry.
[04:16] <FLJohn> be back.
[04:16] <puff> Anyone want to help me get networking working on this box?
[04:16] <xTheGoat121x> jdu, no need to be sorry.
[04:16] <jdu> xTheGoat121x, if its something like fat, it may be that linking is not working which may be your problem.
[04:17] <prince_jammys> it isn't. it's ext3
[04:17] <jdu> ok
[04:17] <prince_jammys> oh, wait
[04:17] <prince_jammys>  /dev/sdb1 /usr auto relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[04:17] <prince_jammys> "auto"
[04:18] <xTheGoat121x> prince_jammys, it had been ext3 previously in fstab
[04:18] <losher> xTheGoat121x: ext3 -> auto shouldn't really matter. Does /dev/sdb1 fsck successfully?
[04:18] <n2diy> Ok, I just backed up  /home to my test box, and it worked! All my files are there, but not all the apps. to run them. Is there an easy way to restore the apps., or should I reload them with Synaptic?
[04:19] <puff> This is a fresh ubuntu jaunty install on a desktop box.  It installed successfully and, of course, was immediately out of date.
[04:19] <poseidon> What do I have to do to make it so that ubuntu can play dvd's again?
[04:19] <puff> Did an update and it fetched packages for a couple of hours and then told me it needed to reboot.  Rebooted and when it came back up couldn't get back on the network.
[04:19] <xTheGoat121x> losher, let me check
[04:19] <jdu> n2diy, not really.  unless you never deleted the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:19] <poseidon> !dvd
[04:19] <dpetrosky1> (bazhang) did you get that last TEXT link?
[04:20] <puff> n2diy: If you have your old drive, or the files  from /etc from your old drive, you can pull a package list out of apt and just reload all your packages at once.
[04:20] <xTheGoat121x> losher, how am I going to fsck it if it's mounted, and I get a warning when I try to umount it (apparently it's in use?)
[04:20] <n2diy> jdu: so, if I ran apt-get clean recently, I'm out of luck?
[04:20] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, yep, just hardy repos (none from everex) did the wireless ever work on that box?
[04:20] <jdu> n2diy, yes
[04:20] <jdu> n2diy, they're no longer there
[04:20] <puff> So, nobody has any ideas on this networking before I give up and reinstall jaunty from scratch?
[04:20] <puff> God, I feel like a windows user.
[04:20] <losher> xTheGoat121x: well, normally you'd do it from the livecd. Dunno if eeebuntu has one though. I admit I don't know much about eeebuntu....
[04:20] <prince_jammys> n2diy: do you have the apps installed in your old box?
[04:21] <xTheGoat121x> losher... alright, I'll boot off my USB
[04:21] <dpetrosky1> (bazhang) I just got it yesterday...... ethernet works fine, but not wireless
[04:21] <jdu> puff, try restarting networkmanager
[04:21] <xTheGoat121x> losher, that'll take a moment, then
[04:21] <jdu> puff, reading logs.
[04:21] <n2diy> puff: I did  back up /etc, but I think I might need to tell grsync to do it recursively.
[04:21] <puff> jdu:  Which logs in particular?
[04:22] <lion_> http://reviewboard.us.oracle.com/r/247
[04:22] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, sorry I don't know more about everex cloudbooks (never had one); is there a wifi on/off switch on that? or wifi marked on one of the F1-F12 keys?
[04:23] <jdu> puff, if you go to the log viewer then try to connect, the appropriate logs will become bold
[04:23] <jdu> there may be several
[04:23] <n2diy> prince_jammys: its not my old box! It's my mission critical box! :) Yes the apps. are here, and I have all my synaptic markings saved.
[04:23] <dpetrosky1> bazhang there is a Wif-i located next to the power on/off switch
[04:23] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, try toggling that before you restart  the box
[04:23] <puff> jdu: Ah, so it just checks the timestamps?
[04:24] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: hold on I'll take a pic for you.... NO toggle switch just says Wif-i
[04:24] <jdu> puff, it certainly tracks changes
[04:24] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, no need for a picture, is there a key with a wifi symbol on it
[04:25] <jdu> puff, not that can't be done with         dmesg | tail -f
[04:25] <jdu> puff, additional that
[04:25] <jdu> in the last senctance
[04:25]  * jdu is tired, is going
[04:26] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: yes the wif-i is a button that you press on/off..... lights up orange
[04:27] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, then hit it, and sudo dhclient wlan0 again  no need for pictures, just say if you get anything more than last time
[04:27] <micah> can someone please tell me how to turn of the vlc text thing and clock on vlc media player?
[04:28] <puff> jdu:  Hm, oddly enough my friend rebooted themachine while I was talking here and the network appears to be working now.
[04:28] <CoJaBo-Aztec> micah: The one that is displayed on the video?
[04:28] <micah> no its just on the screen for every movie i play
[04:29] <CoJaBo-Aztec> micah: Theres an option in preferences to turn off the OSD, that seem like what youre loking for
[04:29] <micah> oh ok thank you let me try that real quick
[04:29]  * CoJaBo-Aztec wonders how ssh works o_O
[04:29] <nate[oz]> anyone know of a textile editor/previewer app for ubuntu?
[04:30] <billybigrigger_> where is the config for the system/preferences/remote desktop???
[04:30] <micah> well im under the subtitles/osd part and i dont see an option for osd
[04:30] <billybigrigger_> i see port 5900 is open, but can't find /etc/vnc or anything like it
[04:30] <xTheGoat121x> losher, apparently the device passes fsck
[04:30] <xTheGoat121x> I just ran it and it says it's clean
[04:30] <dft> which pkg provides sun jvm?
[04:30] <poseidon> sun-java-6 i think
[04:31] <dft> I'm trying to watch a webex and ff keeps complainig jvm is not installed
[04:31] <dft> I have java6-jre isntalled
[04:31] <poseidon> jre = jvm
[04:31] <dft> hmm
[04:31] <CoJaBo-Aztec> micah: akgraner Should be an osxdude ption "enabel OSD that you can unckeck.. What version arere you using?"
[04:31] <losher> xTheGoat121x: please re-run it with fsck -f /dev/sdb1 to force an actual check, not just test the 'clean' flag...
[04:31] <poseidon> dft, did you try restarting?
[04:31] <CoJaBo-Aztec> *option
[04:32] <dft> poseidon: yes
[04:32] <micah> nvm aztec i found it thank you very much man
[04:32] <dft> poseidon: ff at least
[04:32] <TuxedoBond> How do you change default program for handling file types?
[04:32] <dft> not my whole box
[04:32] <Skaperen> has anyone written up a "recipe" on how to get Ubuntu to start the wireless network connection without/before a user logging in?
[04:32] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: I feel real stupid. that damn Wif-i does NOT LOOK like a button......but it sure enough was.... I am connected now... THANKS for all your help.... if you are not mad at me now......lol - - - - - - Now, will this, like windowsOS, remember the passkey that I entered, or something that I have to re-enter everytime I want to connect to the internet?
[04:32] <poseidon> dft, I'd try at least restarting x
[04:32] <xTheGoat121x> losher, running right now
[04:33] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, for the wifi? you should be able to set that in the network manager applet or in the network connections preferences
[04:33] <dpetrosky1> thank you bazhang, cant thank you enough.............
[04:34] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, additionally you may consider just using Mac Filtering instead of WEP, as wep is not secure at all
[04:34] <unitxt> jdu, bazhang: Thanks guys. 3.5 *is* in the repos so that was nice as well.
[04:34] <xTheGoat121x> losher, passes with flying colors
[04:34] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, glad you got it going
[04:34] <losher> xTheGoat121x: where did you copy the new /usr from?
[04:34]  * poseidon has no encryption!
[04:34] <dpetrosky1> Is Mac Filtering another days worth of investigation for me
[04:35] <xTheGoat121x> losher, from the 2GB SSD
[04:35] <losher> xTheGoat121x: can you mount the 2GB SSD?
[04:35] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, it is set in the router, and means that only your MAC (hard ware address for your chipset) is allowed to connect
[04:35] <xTheGoat121x> losher, yeah, no problems there
[04:35] <losher> xTheGoat121x: can you mount the 2GB SSD? I'd like to check the data copied faithfully
[04:36] <xTheGoat121x> losher, sure. What exactly should I be looking for?
[04:36] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: ok.....on that....... does this Linux open .exe files, or is that not allowd with this system?
[04:36] <mattgyver> is there a command to log you out of gnome, and return you to a terminal?
[04:36] <CoJaBo-Aztec> dpetrosky1: MAC filtering provides almost no security as weell
[04:36] <losher> xTheGoat121x: I want to mount the original /usr and the new /usr and then diff them. Do you know how to do that?
[04:37] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, some will work with wine, an app that allows some windows programs to run; you can check the appdb for more info on what does and does not work
[04:37] <xTheGoat121x> I've got the original on the SSD as /usr2
[04:37] <bazhang> !appdb | dpetrosky1
[04:37] <dpetrosky1> CoJaBo: thx
[04:37] <Docvet95> Hey
[04:37] <losher> xTheGoat121x: great. And the new /usr (/dev/sdb)?
[04:37] <losher> xTheGoat121x: great. And the new /usr (/dev/sdb1)?
[04:37] <billybigrigger_> where is the config for the system/preferences/remote desktop???
[04:37] <xTheGoat121x> losher, I've got them both mounted (which is currently on /dev/sdc1)
[04:38] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: and what is Wine?
[04:38] <xTheGoat121x> losher, but I have no clue as to how to diff things
[04:38] <Docvet95> Is it ok if I advertise on this chat? Like just one link xD
[04:38] <losher> xTheGoat121x: ok, now do diff -r /usr2 /new_user (if you see what I mean)
[04:38] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, install it from the repos  it is an application that lets you run some windows software
[04:38] <bazhang> Docvet95, no
[04:38] <Docvet95> Ok thanks anyways
[04:39] <CoJaBo-Aztec> lol
[04:39] <bazhang> !wine | dpetrosky1
[04:39] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: Ok I can do that if I know what repos is........ I told you I am totally lost on the OS but WILL LEARN it hahhahaha
[04:39] <Andorin> Am I allowed to ask for help on an issue that I have posted about on the Ubuntu forums, but that has gone without substantial help?
[04:40] <losher> Andorin: sure you are...
[04:40] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ dpetrosky1 you may wish to read this primer as well
[04:40] <billybigrigger_> !vnc
[04:40] <xTheGoat121x> losher, I see what you mean, and the diff is running right now
[04:40] <billybigrigger_> can someone tell me where the config is for remote desktop?
[04:41] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: what is repos
[04:41] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, the repos are the software repositories where you install applications from, unlike in Windows where you go to 3rd party websites, the repos have most everything you need
[04:41] <Andorin> Okay, cool... basically, I'm having trouble with keyboard shortcuts and such, and I do not believe it's hardware related. I'd appreciate it if anyone who could help with such things would look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214508
[04:41] <dpetrosky1> and where do I find that bazhang?
[04:41] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, they can be accessed via add/remove  synaptic package manager, or the command line
[04:42] <losher> xTheGoat121x: assuming the copy is good, then the next step is to reboot, connect to the network, and try reinstalling your xserver....
[04:42] <xTheGoat121x> losher, I'm imagining that if the copy was good... there wouldn't be much output from the diff operation?
[04:42] <eFrag|Pulse> Anyone familiar with routing with firestarter? I'm having a problem where only some hosts are accessible on the client machine
[04:43] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, search around in your menus for the first two, I dont recall where they are in hardy, should be in Applications, and system administration respectively
[04:43] <losher> xTheGoat121x: basically no output -> no problems
[04:43] <xTheGoat121x> losher, haha, well, then. That explains a lot.
[04:43] <philf]> does anyone have any ideas on how to view others webcams or recieve files on aMSN v.97 on Jaunty? I've tried disabling the firewall, allowing port 6891 but still nothing...thanks
[04:43] <losher> xTheGoat121x: why, what happened?
[04:43] <xTheGoat121x> losher, the thing is still listing the differences
[04:43] <censushq> hello
[04:43] <censushq> i cannot get the wordperfect gzip tar package to install
[04:44] <censushq> is there a secret to install wordperfect 8
[04:44] <censushq> hello
[04:44] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: I am in the add/remove part.... any suggestions on what to use for the .exe files and/or any other apps I should be using if you know any off the top of your head
[04:44] <losher> xTheGoat121x: if you ran the thing for a while after copying, installed new stuff etc. the differences may be legitimate. Did you?
[04:44] <censushq> wine is a windows emulator that can run exe
[04:44] <chetnick> is it just me or this Document Viewer is way faster and more responsive than Adobe Reader ... ?
[04:45] <n2diy> censushq: Wordperfect works in linux?
[04:45] <chronographer> chetnick: way faster!
[04:45] <censushq> is there an adobe reader for linux
[04:45] <xTheGoat121x> losher, no, that's the thing... hmmmm, true.
[04:45] <ethicx> anyone who's got a good recommendation for LCD ARM desk mounts?
[04:45] <censushq> there is a linux wordperfect no longer supported
[04:45] <losher> xTheGoat121x: you never said, exactly how did you attempt the copy?
[04:45] <censushq> windoze blows
[04:46] <CoJaBo-Aztec> lol
[04:46] <bazhang> censushq, no need for that
[04:46] <censushq> ok sorry
[04:46] <censushq> i have 3 windows pcs
[04:46] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, yes, Wine
[04:46] <censushq> 1 ubuntu netbook
[04:46] <eFrag|Pulse> Anyone have any experience with using ubuntu as a router? I'm using it to route from a wireless connection to an eth0 connection, where a single pc client picks it up. (internet connection sharing). I can get it working MOSTLY, except some sites/hosts are not accessible, nor even pingable.
[04:46] <censushq> how hard is it to upgrade from hardie heron to the gibbon
[04:46] <khelvan> censushq - Is there a reason you don't want to use OpenOffice?
[04:46] <censushq> on a netbook
[04:46] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, please do some reading, such as the links I have given you and the primer as well
[04:47] <xTheGoat121x> losher, booted into the Live USB, then used sudo nautilus to copy /usr from the SSD to the SD card. Changed the mount points (including renaming /usr to /usr2), and tried the reboot
[04:47] <censushq> i have open office but it cant seem to load wordperect files even with import filters
[04:47] <dpetrosky1> I will do that bazhang..........thank you very much
[04:47] <khelvan> Hmm, that's strange...
[04:47] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, you're welcome
[04:48] <poseidon> !dvd
[04:48] <Slurpee> so I have some personal DVD movies I created.  I had them on a DVDR playing movies....then I ripped the movie onto my laptop to an ISO file.
[04:48] <Slurpee> the iso file are 4 gigs....
[04:48] <losher> xTheGoat121x: Hmm. I'm not sure I would trust nautilus to do the copy properly. Would you like to reattempt the copy using a different tool? Is there anything on the new usr you need to save?
[04:48] <dpetrosky1> bazhang: So if I ever have another Q:? about this system, is this where I am supposed to get my help then from now on?
[04:48] <Slurpee> anyone recommend a program to encode these iso files?
[04:48] <censushq> how hard is it to change from heron to gibbon on a netbook
[04:48] <censushq> is it worth the upgrade
[04:49] <censushq> heron to gibbon
[04:49] <losher> Slurpee: encode them to what? For what purpose?
[04:49] <dreamy> what can i write at the terminal to check if my card is doing opengl ?
[04:49] <Slurpee> i am open to suggestions on codecs to use...obviously dvd is way too much.  especially when sharing with friends.
[04:49] <xTheGoat121x> losher, no, nothing that needs to be saved. The only thing that is concerning me is that I don't get a progress bar with any other tool, and there tends to be some... issues... when copying to the SD card
[04:49] <censushq> use vlc media player
[04:49] <censushq> it has lightweight codecs
[04:49] <bazhang> dpetrosky1, here is fine, but for very basics things like what is wine, etc. you should first read the links given so as to ask more informed questions
[04:50] <khelvan> censushq - if you upgrade, I would suggest a reinstall with Jaunty rather than Gibbon...I assume you don't have a CD/DVD drive?
[04:50] <losher> xTheGoat121x: what kind of issues. Anything less than a perfect copy is, well, imperfect....
[04:50] <censushq> i have a usb external i can hook to the netbook
[04:50] <Hopsnick> I have jaunty.  I heard the next release is going to be pimp though
[04:50] <censushq> heron recognizes the external usb
[04:50] <Andorin> Can someone help me? I'm having trouble with keyboard shortcuts and such, and I do not believe it's hardware related. I'd appreciate it if anyone who could help with such things would look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214508

[04:51] <rods> Hey! Got an Ubuntu Netbook Remix running on my eeePC 1000HE. For some reason flash just crawls. Any ideas? I'm not sure the issue is the hardware (I see a lot of netbooks--I product test at woot.com)

[04:52] <Hopsnick> vlc will run anything
[04:52] <xTheGoat121x> losher, let me just format the partition and try the tool you're going to recommend.
[04:52] <rods> i concur on VLC
[04:52] <losher> xTheGoat121x: well, you've nothing to lose at this point. I suggest wiping the new partition & we'll try the copy again...
[04:53] <Hopsnick> does anyone know a good tutorial/guide to using mySQL I have all the software installed on Ubuntu but I can't get any commnands to work or create a db

[05:01] <censushq> if i have an xp home coa on my ubuntu netbook, can i use that code to install xp in virtualbox while keeping ubuntu
[05:02] <censushq> why would i regress backwards to windows if i only need limited apps
[05:02] <khelvan> Heh, nevermind on the mp4box question. It is in gpac, you just have to use MP4Box, I didn't realize the case was different.

[05:08] <wizzo50> Hi, I just setup Sun Virtual Box on Ubuntu. Now, how do you run it to load Windows on Ubuntu?
[05:08] <Hopsnish> I thought windows was the only OS that required you to restart your computer after an update, but Ubuntu does it to.  Why do OS's need restarts after updates?
[05:08] <losher> xTheGoat121x: yes, definitely use sudo, otherwise you will have permissions problems
[05:09] <lstarnes> Hopsnish: usually that's only required for updating the kernel or certain core libraries
[05:09] <Andorin> Can someone help me? I'm having trouble with keyboard shortcuts and such, and I do not believe it's hardware related. I'd appreciate it if anyone who could help with such things would look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214508
[05:09] <nevyn> Hopsnish: some don't but if the core os code is replace during a software update it's generally easier to reboot than attempt to replace in memory that code
[05:09] <RiverRat> What is the name for version 9.04?
[05:09] <Hopsnish> Jaunty

[05:11] <allenbradley> open Virtualbox
[05:11] <wizzo50> yes

[05:12] <xTheGoat121x> It ranges, really.
[05:13] <FLJohn> It says I downloaded Nvidia drivers for my display, but I can not access the 1440x900
[05:13] <losher> xTheGoat121x: ok, so about 10 times slower than a sata disk. Just wondered...
[05:14] <xTheGoat121x> losher, give or take.
[05:14] <FLJohn> Ok It appears there were more updates.
[05:15] <Twittery> How long will be an ubuntu version maintained
[05:15] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, i can help you....
[05:15] <MaxPower9> Twittery, that depends on the version
[05:15] <oldude67> Twittery, server or desktop?
[05:15] <Twittery> Desktop
[05:15] <oldude67> Twittery, 3 years
[05:16] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, are you on the live cd or already installed?
[05:16] <Twittery> oldude67 : Wow thats a big number compared to fedora
[05:16] <FLJohn>  SeaPhor:  I downladed the drivers.  It asked me for the acer display and It did not have my model number.  I am installed.  I thought it did the updates, but now I am downloaded 164 do that computer is tied up now
[05:17] <TuxedoBond> How do I change the default program that opens music files?
[05:17] <neko_> enable the multimedia selector by editing menus
[05:17] <neko_> youll find it in system>administration
[05:17] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, I also have native res of 1440x900 and cannot get without what i am about to offer you
[05:18] <FLJohn> I am running that res on this computer.  ATI seems to have their crap togethor
[05:18] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, but i need more info from you before i suggest
[05:18] <TuxedoBond> Do you mean Main Menue?
[05:18] <TuxedoBond> For me it's in preferences.
[05:19] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, ATI + Linux = BAD ,,, for now, getting better but,,, my offer still stands
[05:19] <xTheGoat121x> losher, still waiting
[05:19] <xTheGoat121x> LoL
[05:19] <prince_jammys> !defaultapp | TuxedoBond
[05:19] <losher> xTheGoat121x: copy progressing normally?
[05:19] <MaxPower9> Twittery, only the LTS releases are supported for 3 years
[05:20] <FLJohn> SeaPhor, I have two computers now running Linux. the one I am on now is not the one we are talking about.
[05:20] <MaxPower9> the regular releases are 18 months
[05:20] <xTheGoat121x> losher, other than the occasional pause, yes.
[05:20] <FLJohn>  SeaPhor: The one we are talking about is running Nvidia
[05:20] <prince_jammys> xTheGoat121x: what happened? /usr hadn't been copied properly?
[05:20] <Twittery> MaxPower9 : Whats LTS <sorry>
[05:20] <prince_jammys> Twittery: long term support
[05:20] <prince_jammys> !lts | Twittery
[05:20] <Twittery> Ah
[05:20] <MaxPower9> http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu
[05:20] <FLJohn>  SeaPhor:I also agree that ATI is not tooo great, does cause this system to crash
[05:20] <losher> xTheGoat121x: no problem then. When the copy finishes, umount, fsck, and then reboot. You know the drill from there....
[05:20] <xTheGoat121x> prince_jammys, we tried reformatting and copying again
[05:21] <MaxPower9> that pages details it out
[05:21] <prince_jammys> xTheGoat121x: ah
[05:21] <xTheGoat121x> losher, will do. The question arises, I shouldn't have to change anything in the fstab at this point, right?
[05:21] <losher> prince_jammys: the original copy was done from within nautilus, and there were lots of differences between the copy & the original, so we recopied using rsync
[05:22] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, this is also 1440x900 and nvidia, and I HAVE to run a specific add-to kernel-line to get it to work,,,
[05:22] <prince_jammys> losher: i see.
[05:22] <losher> xTheGoat121x: no, shouldn't need any new changes to fstab, unless you want to change auto to ext3...
[05:22] <xTheGoat121x> losher, that's what I figured.
[05:23] <_Apple_> SeaPhor, what is this you speak of...with the 1440x900
[05:23] <xTheGoat121x> losher, is there any way to get an inkling of how far into the ENTIRE process we are?
[05:23] <KoolD> anyone knows a tutorial on how  to change the cpu freq when there is a change in the power supply (ac to battery)
[05:23] <losher> xTheGoat121x: if you run df -h you should see the 'used' sizes of both source & destination....
[05:24] <SeaPhor> _Apple_, ? thats native resolution for this box, and no release of ubuntu has run it on this box whithout me adding it to the kernel-line
[05:24] <xTheGoat121x> losher, k
[05:24] <FLJohn>  SeaPhor:Ok, you run it in Terminal?
[05:25] <SeaPhor> _Apple_, not since 7.04
[05:25] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, no
[05:25] <SeaPhor> FLJohn, not necessarily
[05:25] <losher> xTheGoat121x: from df -h, how much of the original looks copied so far?
[05:25] <_Apple_> i see, which box is this then? OS wise, I need to be running that as well on display number two
[05:25] <_Apple_> SeaPhor,
[05:25] <FLJohn>  SeaPhor:Ok what do I need to do?

[05:35] <Konam> after a "java -version" command in the command line i get that i have the version <IP_ADDRESS> and openjdk even tho I uninstalled it... is that ok? I have the java-sun-jdk installed too
[05:36] <skyl> any way to see what my device is for a umout command
[05:36] <skyl> umount*
[05:36] <skyl> list them?
[05:37] <skyl> I need to umount my current drive immediately :(
[05:37] <losher> skyl: df -h will show you all mounted devices
[05:37] <stroyan> skyl: "df ." will tell you your current mount point.  You can umount by the mount point directory name rather than a device name.
[05:38] <skyl> thank umount: /: device is busy.
[05:38] <Andorin> How do I determine my laptop's MAC address?
[05:38] <stroyan> skyl: Of course.  If you have it as a current directory then that alone will make it "busy".
[05:39] <skyl> stroyan how can I make it unbusy
[05:39] <skyl> ?
[05:39] <failers> Andorin http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+check+mac+adress

[05:39] <cje> hi, does anyone know a good IRC channel for Linux games?
[05:40] <cje> Sorry, let me re-phrase that question.  Does anyone know a good Freenode IRC channel for Linux gamers.
[05:40] <Andorin> failers: Are responses like that REALLY appropriate? >_>
[05:40] <stroyan> skyl: / is always going to be busy.  You would need to shutdown (or pivot_root to another / filesystem) to unmount it.  What is your motive?
[05:41] <shade34321> does anybody know anything about adding a splash screen to grub here?
[05:41] <failers> Andorin well some people really have to learn use google :p
[05:41] <skyl> stroyan recover data I deleted :'(
[05:41] <Andorin> failers: I do know how. A basic search didn't turn up anything help. kapil, on the other hand, did provide help. Thank you.
[05:42] <stroyan> skyl: It is probably too late to recover data from /.  It is a busy file system.  If you wanted to try you would need to shutdown and examine it from an alternate boot such as a live CD.
[05:42] <wizzo50> Anyone help me on setting up the program g--- something to check or change any of your partitons on here?
[05:43] <shade34321> ive edited my menu.lst file on grub....and i put a picture there for it that's 640x480 with 14 colors in the xpm format that's gzipped....i even updated my grub, where it finds my splash image, and it still tells me that it cant read it....any ideas?
[05:43] <kapil> skyl: sometimes "mount -o remount,ro /" will work to mount the fs read-only.

[05:45] <shade34321> glitsjl6: hmm....ok...let me look at that real fast
[05:46] <wizzo50> oldude67:  need sudo in front of it
[05:46] <xTheGoat121x> losher, directory corrupted, should I salvage?
[05:46] <joannethrax> kapil: they apparently aren't on my computer, according to locate
[05:46] <oldude67> wizzo50, probably
[05:46] <losher> xTheGoat121x: yes
[05:46] <kapil> Andorin: that depends on your local network. or you can use a public dns server like opendns.
[05:47] <joannethrax> wait...I found them
[05:47] <joannethrax> Linux Kernel Documentation
[05:47] <joannethrax> Thank you.
[05:48] <Andorin> kapil: Thanks. Found it.
[05:49] <ali_> hey
[05:49] <wizzo50> what is that program called to take an image and put the address on here when showing someone? Not pastebin I am talking about but it starts with an S
[05:50] <adam7> wizzo50: imageshack or xs.to?
[05:50] <adam7> they don't start with S but do the same thing, I guess
[05:50] <wizzo50> yea, thanks adam

[05:50] <xTheGoat121x> losher, getting a TON of unattached inodes
[05:51] <Squynti> Ok I have a few things I like to iron out a few kinks I have here is firstly, the flash plugin wont let installed because it says wrong architecture
[05:51] <histo> Squynti: how are you trying to instal it?
[05:52] <mbnoimi> how I can reset ubuntu modifications?
[05:52] <Squynti> Im not too sure, I had it installed thru synaptic pac manager
[05:53] <Squynti> and i    tried the typical    way like windows but it tells    me wrong cpu according what    it message said
[05:53] <D4rk-aVenGeR> http://www.music-planet.gr
[05:53] <losher> xTheGoat121x: it strikes me that we never checked the source /usr. If these come from there then it's probably trashed and you need to reinstall. The alternative is that the target device is unreliable, which means you're probably never going to be able to use it. At this stage, I would reinstall from CD, do a manual partition, and select /dev/sdb1 as the location for /usr, and see if that works.
[05:53] <wizzo50> Hi, Can someone help me? I just setup Sun Virtual Box on Ubuntu. Now, how do you run it to load Windows on Ubuntu?
[05:54] <skyl> how can I interact with /dev/sda1 ?
[05:54] <skyl> I am trying to recover data that I deleted
[05:54] <xTheGoat121x> losher, alright. I'll get cracking on that right now
[05:54] <skyl> /dev/sda1 has been umount
[05:54] <Squynti> I hope im clear enough..

[05:54] <Gemmie78> Hello. I've been having issues with my pidgin instant messenger recently being unable to sign in to both my MSN accounts and my Yahoo account. Has anyone experienced a problem recently
[05:55] <mbnoimi> how I can reset my ubuntu to the defaults?
[05:55] <xTheGoat121x> losher, yeah, it's late here too.. Thanks for everything.
[05:55] <Gemmie78> I can explain what version I am currently running but after researching google and forums haven't found much help on my exact issue
[05:55] <xTheGoat121x> losher, I'll look for you soon, let you know how it goes
[05:55] <Squynti> and how can I get the scroll bar widen?
[05:55] <stroyan> skyl: Perhaps http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2007/12/26/undelete-files-in-linux-with-lazarus-and-unrm/
[05:55] <losher> xTheGoat121x: ok. good luck...
[05:57] <glitsj16> Gemmie78: what version pidgin are you running? there was some yahoo trouble with 2.5.7 that has been fixed in 2.5.8 recently
[05:57] <skyl> stroyan it doesn't mention ext3
[05:57] <skyl> http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html <-- I
[05:57] <Gemmie78> I am currently running version 2.2.1 of pidgin
[05:57] <skyl> m kind of working off of this and I only have 90 minutes
[05:57] <acidio> hello
[05:57] <histo> wizzo50: i'm downloading it now myself if I can get it goign i'll let you know exactly were its at
[05:58] <Gemmie78> I find the issue strange as the issue arose quite suddenly that basically the MSN client would fail to authenticate
[05:58] <mbnoimi> how I can reset my ubuntu to the defaults?
[05:58] <Gemmie78> Researching online doesn't provide much help due to the fact of version differences and help given more than 18 months ago. While they may have solved their issues I'm not sure if it would solve mine
[05:59] <glitsj16> Gemmie78: yep, each time msn or yahoo (or any of the other supported networks) changes their service, pidgin needs to adapt to it, might be worth to upgrade pidgin, i'd check getdeb.net for a supported version
[06:00] <x_> hello
[06:00] <x_> I accidentaly downloaded the server version of ubuntu, but I managed to install and run gnome

[06:03] <WIGGMPk> Hello, came home from an incredibly bad day at work to find out that my Grub can no longer find my bootable image.. How do I mount an ext4 filesystem partition from the live CD? I keep getting "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" and im just not good with the mount command?
[06:03] <Squynti> but it shouldn't matter does it?
[06:03] <acidio> what are those windows installer discs called that come with the OS and applications for that certain machine?
[06:03] <acidio> is it OEM?
[06:03] <moymoy> yeah.. heard some bad things about 64 bit and flash... but there are tons of people that get it working.. i see posts about it all over the forums
[06:04] <somedude933> now i get this:  http://i29.tinypic.com/5of5si.jpg

[06:07] <x_> You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.28-11-server (x86_64) first.
[06:07] <x_> what am I supposed to do?
[06:08] <moymoy> x_: sudo aptitude install dkms
[06:08] <eFrag|Pulse> x_ do as it says
[06:08] <x_> Ok
[06:08] <x_> thanks
[06:08] <eFrag|Pulse> if I recall you can just rerun the installer with the -K option
[06:08] <moymoy> x_: nasically what the dkms does is keep track of changes in the kernel or something
[06:08] <zenlunatic> WIGGMPk, for starters it's mount -t fstype but why do you want to mount it in livecd?  Don't you want to grub fixed?
[06:09] <tehbaut|> I'm trying to install on an already partitioned drive, and I keep getting a dialog: "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
[06:09] <Squynti> Another issue; I have one HDD with a partition that cannot mount... and it says: failed to read last sector (numeric): invalid argument. Perhaps the vol is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't set up yet, or the wrong device was used, or the partition table incorrect. Failed to mount /dev/sbc3
[06:09] <WIGGMPk> zenlunatic: yes, im mounting my boot partition in the livecd to fix grub
[06:09] <eFrag|Pulse> Anyone familiar w/ firestarter and internet connection sharing?
[06:09] <zenlunatic> WIGGMPk, oh okay
[06:09] <tehbaut|> but I'm not seeing any partitioning menu
[06:09] <moymoy> tehbaut|: you have to tell the installer all the mount points for the partitions
[06:09] <tehbaut|> ah
[06:10] <WIGGMPk> zenlunatic: is the filesystem check command different for ext4 partitions? i think my boot partition has some bad superblocks
[06:10] <moymoy> tehbaut|: you have to click "Manual" when it asks you if you want to do a "guided" install or "manual"
[06:10] <tehbaut|> yeah, I'm already on the manual editing screen
[06:10] <moymoy> WIGGMPk: just specify the FS .. fsck -t ext4 .. or use fsck.ext4
[06:10] <x_> thanks
[06:10] <orb360> when in doubt... just fsck it
[06:11] <x_> now... how can I enable my live 5.1?
[06:11] <zenlunatic> WIGGMPk, never used ext4 are you on ubuntu 9.10?
[06:11] <moymoy> tehbaut|: is this a fresh install? or do you want to keep data?
[06:11] <x_> do I have to enable the software mixer?
[06:11] <WIGGMPk> moymoy: thanks.. and I can still use the -y parameter too?
[06:11] <WIGGMPk> zenlunatic: yea
[06:11] <moymoy> WIGGMPk: yup
[06:11] <tehbaut|> moymoy, one of my partitions is hfs+ but I don't want to reformat it on accident
[06:11] <coldhak> how much space does ubuntu need? should 10gb be enough?
[06:11] <tehbaut|> trying to triple boot
[06:11] <eFrag|Pulse> coldhak: more than enough
[06:12] <jerrcs> Hi. When installing the ubuntu-server 9.04, I get a bunch of "debootstrap warning" errors, several .deb files seem corrupt.
[06:12] <coldhak> (not really a linux question) if I put /home on a different partition, is there a way for windows to read it?
[06:12] <zenlunatic> WIGGMPk, you probably would be better served in #ubuntu+1
[06:12] <tehbaut|> moymoy, I saved ubuntu for last, so the first two partitions need to keep their data
[06:12] <eFrag|Pulse> coldhak: nope.
[06:12] <WIGGMPk> zenlunatic: oh crap im sorry.. no im using 9.04 (jaunty)
[06:12] <coldhak> ok
[06:12] <moymoy> tehbaut|: okay, click into the partition and for the dropdown menu, click "use as HFS+ partition" and set a mount point... but make sure it's marked as "do not format"
[06:12] <eFrag|Pulse> coldhak: Windows cannot read linux partitions. However. IF you have to share files. Just use a seperate fat32 partition
[06:13] <moymoy> tehbaut|: the installer is complaining that you didn't set up a root partition... so pick a partition to mount "/"
[06:13] <coldhak> can /home be put on a fat32 partition?
[06:13] <tehbaut|> moymoy, there is no HFS+ option, just XFS journaled and JFS journaled
[06:13] <moymoy> tehbaut|: hmm right.. the installer doesn't support HFS then.. but i know the kernel supports it.. so i don't know
[06:13] <eFrag|Pulse> coldhak: I don't think so, but maybe?(someone else...). Not recommended in either case
[06:13] <tehbaut|> heh
[06:14] <eFrag|Pulse> Fat32 has alot of limitations, mainly in filesizes and whatnot.
[06:14] <eFrag|Pulse> ext4 is pretty nice lately ^_^
[06:14] <moymoy> tehbaut|: wait.. you want to install linux onto the hfs+ partition right?
[06:14] <tehbaut|> no, that's my osx partition
[06:14] <tehbaut|> but I'd like to be able to access it
[06:15] <tehbaut|> both read and write
[06:15] <moymoy> coldhak: fat32 only allows 4GB file sizes max i think.. and your /home will most likely become heavily fragmented and become very slow
[06:15] <xTheGoat121x> How is Ubuntu's support for bluetooth mice?
[06:15] <coldhak> ah. that's definitely bad.
[06:15] <moymoy> tehbaut|: oh .. then you don't have to do anything to it when you install ubuntu .. you'll be able to access it from ubuntu no problem
[06:16] <moymoy> tehbaut|: but you might have to install some modules from the repositories .. but i know it works.. i can mount Mac OSX partitions on my install
[06:16] <tehbaut|> moymoy, okay but I still need to specify a mount point? or?
[06:16] <Squynti> Anyone catch my message on mount?
[06:16] <moymoy> tehbaut|: yes, you still have to specify a mount point.. do you have a partition set aside for ubuntu already?
[06:17] <tehbaut|> yep, I do
[06:17] <linux>
[06:17] <moymoy> tehbaut|: then you can set that to be mounted as "/"
[06:17] <WIGGMPk> moymoy: quick question.. whats the differences between e2fsck and fsck???
[06:17] <n2diy> where's a good "wake on lan" howto?
[06:17] <tehbaut|> Prepare Partitions dialog won't let me add a mount point to the other part's though
[06:18] <moymoy> WIGGMPk: they're the same to me.. but i always use fsck
[06:18] <TheShahFactor> I have this weird problem, Whenever i lock my Ubuntu desktop and login back again; the sound which i muted before gets unmuted
[06:18] <moymoy> tehbaut|: which parts? do you want two different partitions for / and /home?
[06:18] <tehbaut|> not without reformatting them, at least
[06:18] <tehbaut|> no, for the other os pars
[06:18] <tehbaut|> parts
[06:18] <usser> WIGGMPk, well they're not technically the same, e2fsck is for ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystems, fsck is more general, its a wrapper that works for any FS.
[06:19] <moymoy> tehbaut|: i don't understand what you're saying
[06:19] <usser> WIGGMPk, by calling and appropriate fsck
[06:19] <sd32> !firefox
[06:19] <arooni> how do i remove/replace grub, and make it so the laptop always boots up to vista?
[06:19] <tehbaut|> moymoy, you said that I needed to add mount points to the other os's part's
[06:19] <ZyYyXy> hi friends
[06:20] <sd32> !firefox-3.5
[06:20] <WIGGMPk> usser: which would you suggest for repairing an ext4 partition? should i just us fsck -t ext4 or e2fsck -t ext4? this is my first need to repair one of my ext4 paritions
[06:20] <moymoy> tehbaut|: not necessary .. you only need to mount "/" that's the most important .. everything else is optional (but highly recommended)
[06:20] <tehbaut|> moymoy, but when I edit those part's, the mount point field is greyed out until I tell it to reformat
[06:20] <usser> WIGGMPk, just use fsck
[06:20] <[R]> arooni: "fixing" your MBR is a windows issue, not a linux issue
[06:20] <usser> WIGGMPk, thats the "right" way of doing it
[06:20] <WIGGMPk> usser: moymoy: k thanks for the help guys
[06:20] <tehbaut|> I guess I can just proceed then?
[06:20] <ZyYyXy> want to share info about http://www.ubun2.com Web 2.0 style Question and Answers  Please help to build the largest Ubuntu knowledge base
[06:20] <bullgard4> RFC2828 includes a definition of 'proxy server'. In two commentaries of this definition the term 'proxy' is used (not 'proxy server'). Does this use of 'proxy' mean a short-hand for 'proxy server' or what does proxy stand here for?

[06:21] <moymoy> tehbaut|: always double check when dealing with your harddrive .. make sure you don't format the wrong drives and such
[06:21] <arooni> [R], right but uninstalling linux ubuntu should be something covered in this channel
[06:21] <arooni> [R], i love ubuntu to death, i'm just selling the laptop to someone
[06:21] <[R]> arooni: there is no such thing as "uninstalling"
[06:21] <linux> ሂያ
[06:22] <richardcavell> arooni: You can uninstall and just have a computer with BIOS on it
[06:22] <Squynti> Another issue; I have one HDD with a partition that cannot mount... and it says: failed to read last sector (numeric): invalid argument. Perhaps the vol is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't set up yet, or the wrong device was used, or the partition table incorrect. Failed to mount /dev/sbc3 <-- anyone help me with this?
[06:22] <Squynti> or an input
[06:22] <moymoy> arooni: a quick google search will give you all the details .. mostly just put the windows disk in and boot into recovery or something and `fixmbr` or something
[06:23] <richardcavell> Hey guys, what is the correct way to map keyboard keys as mouse buttons?  I'm using xmodmap. Is that still the 'correct' way?
[06:23] <tehbaut|> does ubuntu not share swap space on the same partition as the install itself?
[06:24] <richardcavell> tehbaut|: no, you should use a separate partition
[06:24] <richardcavell> tehbaut|: it is possible to use a swapfile but it is a bad idea
[06:24] <moymoy> tehbaut|: swap partition is always a separate partition.. but if you have enough RAM, swap isn't necessary unless you want to hibernate and such
[06:24] <tehbaut|> ah, well that's not important
[06:25] <wizzo50> What sound programs is there for on Ubuntu that are good?
[06:25] <moymoy> do macs use a swap partition?
[06:25] <richardcavell> moymoy: no, they cannot do so
[06:25] <skyl> how to get a full copy of a drive (ext3 partition) so that I can query the deleted items?
[06:25] <eFrag|Pulse> I always do 2GB for swap myself.
[06:25] <richardcavell> moymoy: that is to say, OS X does not and cannot do so. Ubuntu can if it's installed on a mac
[06:25] <[R]> wizzo50: "sound program"?
[06:26] <eFrag|Pulse> Though the usual reference is 1.5x your RAM
[06:26] <Gemmie78> Okay it looks like I may need to upgrade pidgin in some way
[06:26] <[R]> skyl: query?
[06:26] <Gemmie78> How should I go about doing this?
[06:26] <tehbaut|> yeah, macs use a swap file I thought
[06:26] <skyl> [R] well, hopfully eventually 'recover'
[06:26] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: what version do you have?
[06:26] <Squynti> can swap partition be adjusted?
[06:26] <eFrag|Pulse> Mac doesn't use swap.
[06:26] <skyl> I want not just an image with files that exist but a full binary copy I think
[06:27] <[R]> skyl: undeleting on ext3 is pretty tough
[06:27] <[R]> skyl: but you can google it
[06:27] <tehbaut|> that explains the performance issues I experience when memory is low then
[06:27] <skyl> [R] I'm aware
[06:27] <usser> skyl, dd
[06:27] <eFrag|Pulse> tehbaut|: how much ram do you have?
[06:27] <tehbaut|> 2GB in this machine
[06:28] <skyl> right now I am only trying to get /dev/sda1 which is umount (I'm on another partition) to another computer
[06:28] <wizzo50> r yes
[06:28] <Rob235> umm
[06:28] <eFrag|Pulse> tehbaut|: if you can manage the extra space, match your RAM w/ swap. (2048 MB for swap)
[06:28] <Rob235> why does firefox 3.5 have to include firefox 3.0
[06:28] <Squynti> I think I have my swap partition too big, can it be fixed?
[06:28] <Enoc> ohh wow!! I found a chat with tons of ppls:)
[06:28] <shade34321> i'm trying to have a splash screen on my grub menu....I've manually edited the menu.lst file to include it.....put in a picture in the grub folder that was .xpm format and gzipped and 14 colors with a resolution of 640x480....then i updated the grub, which reconized my splash screen....yet grub kept giving me a failed to read splashimage error.....i was told to try StartUp-Manager and so I installed it and checked everything out....and everythi
[06:28] <usser> skyl, dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/location/to/store/image
[06:28] <[R]> Squynti: there is no "too big"
[06:28] <Squynti> Welcome first timer Enoc
[06:28] <tehbaut|> eFrag|Pulse, is it something I can add later?
[06:28] <moymoy> Squynti: how big is your swap? ... and why do you think it's too big?
[06:29] <eFrag|Pulse> tehbaut|: ofcourse.
[06:29] <tehbaut|> not planning to do anything that intensive right away
[06:29] <Squynti> [R]: ok though my HDD seem to be a wasted space with oversized swap (initally made an error on that part)
[06:29] <usser> shade34321, try grub2 its really easier to set splash image in it
[06:29] <eFrag|Pulse> Just make sure you leave the extra space just in case.
[06:29] <tehbaut|> how do I revisit swap space in the future?
[06:29] <tehbaut|> just partition manager?
[06:29] <Rob235> why does firefox 3.5 have to include firefox 3.0
[06:29] <Enoc> thanks I'm new and still alittle lost lol
[06:29] <eFrag|Pulse> just leave a few gigs free at the end of your disk space
[06:29] <[R]> Rob235: yes... we all heard you the first time
[06:30] <glitsj16> Rob235: i believe it has to do with making sure the gecko rendering engine is available for other (dependant) packages
[06:30] <Squynti> my ram is 15,gb and the swap I had it set on I think according to windows  disk managment at nearly 7 gb
[06:30] <shade34321> ok
[06:30] <moymoy> tehbaut|: yup.. just shrink one of your partitions and create a new swap partition
[06:30] <eFrag|Pulse> then later you can just format the free space as swap and activate it
[06:30] <Rob235> ok thanks
[06:30] <Squynti> 1.5 gb*
[06:30] <richardcavell> OS X definitely cannot use a swap partition. It's a constant complaint of people who use graphics software
[06:30] <histo> Can you do a server install from the mini.iso cd?
[06:30] <eFrag|Pulse> richardcavell: don't get me started :P
[06:30] <skyl> thanks so much usser , I'm on a pretty tight timeline here or I would be doing my homework :)
[06:30] <usser> histo, yes
[06:31] <usser> histo, server install is nothing more than a basic set of packages around a -server kernel
[06:31] <richardcavell> eFrag|Pulse: some people have made it work with external swap partition but it involves a lot of Darwin voodoo
[06:31] <Enoc> any site where girls are located??
[06:31] <usser> histo, install as usual from mini.iso add -server kernel and go from there
[06:31] <histo> usser: I understand that I just don't see an option to choose server install to get the server kernel.

[06:31] <cached> anyone know what "tracker applet" telling me that "there was an error while performing indexing: corrupted" means? and why do none of the 3 relevant buttons to close it work? why is it using my hard drive like a madman?
[06:31] <eFrag|Pulse> richardcavell:  bleh :P More trouble than its worth than heh
[06:31] <moymoy> Enoc: ubuntuforums.org
[06:31] <richardcavell> Hey guys, what is the correct way to map keyboard keys as mouse buttons?  I'm using xmodmap. Is that still the 'correct' way?
[06:32] <usser> histo, so, just install as usual you can always add another kernel later on when system is in place
[06:32] <[R]> richardcavell: if it works and does what you want... then yes
[06:32] <usser> skyl, no problem
[06:32] <Enoc> moymoy I'm alittle lost
[06:32] <eFrag|Pulse> IMHO, there is no "Right, and wrong way." If it works without quirks, then its the right way.
[06:33] <Gemmie78> richardcavell I believe I have 2.2.1 of pidgin
[06:33] <richardcavell> [R]: but there's a problem: I also want to map some of my keys as super keys (eg ctrl), and I don't think it's compatible
[06:33] <histo> usser: trying to avoid that I just dl the server iso
[06:33] <Gemmie78> It's not as simple as updating the piece of software by clicking on the menu
[06:33] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: Latest version is 2.5.5
[06:33] <Gemmie78> I had to go into terminal, but strangely, typing what was asked at the pidgin website didn't seem to have much of an effect
[06:33] <tehbaut|> eFrag|Pulse, moymoy: thanks for your help
[06:34] <moymoy> tehbaut|: no problem
[06:34] <Gemmie78> I realise that
[06:34] <[R]> richardcavell: and what makes you "think" its not?
[06:34] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: don't update using the pidgin website's instructions
[06:34] <skyl> can one then latter use the image as a drive after dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/here.img  ... what can one do with the image?
[06:34] <strost> any application that i can run on 9.04 but not 8.04 ?
[06:34] <Gemmie78> So I'm trying to upgrade the software in some shape or form
[06:34] <moymoy> skyl: you can mount the image if you want
[06:34] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: use update manager. What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[06:34] <Tefad> greetings
[06:34] <richardcavell> [R]: I'm on a Mac and I have two command keys either side of my spacebar that are doing nothing
[06:34] <[R]> strost: sure... something that requires the version of something that is in 9.04 and not 8.04
[06:34] <moymoy> skyl: sudo mount -o loop /image/here.img /folder/here
[06:35] <duckwars> what is a good command line bittorent aplication?
[06:35] <Tefad> i cannot find a guide for disabling journal on ext4 successfully
[06:35] <Tefad> i upgraded kernel to 2.6.30
[06:35] <moymoy> duckwars: try rtorrent
[06:35] <[R]> richardcavell: they don't show up in xev at all? anything show up in dmesg when you push them?
[06:35] <isonomy> I was trying to make my transparent terminal embedded within the desktop via compiz, but then all windows lost their borders. How do I get the borders back?
[06:35] <richardcavell> [R]: So I'm trying to do keycode 133 = Control_L but it's not working
[06:35] <Tefad> but i still get error after the kernel loads.. it isn't able to mount the rootfs it seems
[06:35] <skyl> moymoy I see, ty
[06:35] <duckwars> moymoy: i was going to, but i can't apt-get or wget rtorrent
[06:35] <Gemmie78> Update manager?
[06:35] <strost>  [R] : like what ?
[06:35] <richardcavell> [R]: They are keycodes 133 and 134. I can map them to Pointer_Button1 but not Control_L
[06:35] <Gemmie78> I'm using gutsy gibbon
[06:35] <moymoy> duckwars: almost all bitorrent clients in linux have command line support .. but rtorrent is the only one that uses ncurses
[06:35] <Gemmie78> I'm fairly lazy to update the whole thing, I'm fairly simple
[06:35] <skyl> if I compress and uncompress an image it will still be identical?
[06:36] <strost> very slow internet connection over here , going to take days to download another iso
[06:36] <duckwars> moymoy: what is ncurses?
[06:36] <Tefad> however, i am able to mount ext4 paritions without journal enabled once i am in the OS...
[06:36] <[R]> richardcavell: keys like control and alt are called "modifier" keys... you should re-read the xmodmap man page
[06:36] <moymoy> duckwars: have you tried compiling it? the one in the repositories are out of date anyway
[06:36] <Gemmie78> I've tried using update manager and it says I'm using the latest stuff but have the choice to upgrade the 8.04 LTS
[06:36] <[R]> strost: i don't know
[06:36] <[R]> strost: but if you have no problems iwth 8.04... then stay with it
[06:36] <richardcavell> [R]: I've read it a hundred times
[06:36] <[R]> strost: no one is forcing you to upgrade
[06:36] <Gemmie78> Should I just remove pidgin from my computer and redownload it?
[06:36] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: Well then that's the version used in 8.04. So what's the problem?
[06:37] <strost> hmmm
[06:37] <usser> skyl, well yea what good is a compression algorithm that messes up the original file after decompression
[06:37] <strost> the changelogs arent that helpful
[06:37] <usser> skyl, of course it will be the same
[06:37] <richardcavell> [R]: In my startup Applications I have xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = Control_L", but it doesn't work
[06:37] <strost> releasenotes*
[06:38] <skyl> usser yep
[06:38] <skyl> I'm dealing with wax records over here j/k
[06:38] <[R]> richardcavell: and then what does xev report?
[06:39] <richardcavell> [R]: huh?  You mean I should run that after running the xmodmap -e "keycode... bit?
[06:39] <Gemmie78> The problem is I cannot sign into my MSN and YIM
[06:39] <Gemmie78> This stopped last week
[06:39] <lbsjack> hi,who knows the partioning tool disk druid?
[06:39] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: I don't know that's pidgin's fault
[06:39] <[R]> richardcavell: sounds like you dont know what xev is... maybe you should read it's man page
[06:39] <richardcavell> I'm signed in to MSN right now
[06:39] <richardcavell> [R]: I know what xev is
[06:40] <richardcavell> That's how I got the keycodes
[06:40] <moymoy> duckwars: it's basically like a commandline interface .. it constantly updates itself, so it's already almost like a gui that runs in the command line
[06:41] <duckwars> i hate to ask, but how do I compile a .tar.gz file?
[06:41] <[R]> duckwars: you don't
[06:41] <[R]> duckwars: .tar.gz is an acrhive... not somethign "to compile"
[06:41] <[R]> archive*
[06:41] <richardcavell> duckwars: what do you mean? What are you trying to do?
[06:41] <NickDeNeger> you have to unpack it first :)
[06:42] <Stralytic> anyone in the US want a google voice invite? they sent me one and i cannot use it...
[06:42] <jsq> hello, can someone please help, i am unable to log in to a tty, i tried creating a new user, also i am unable to do anything requiring a password.. i am in the admin group
[06:42] <duckwars> I'm trying to install rtorrent
[06:42] <duckwars> it's a .tar.gz
[06:42] <moymoy> duckwars: all you have to do is extract it.. get on a terminal and go in and ./configure then make then sudo make install
[06:42] <moymoy> duckwars: but you need to hunt down all the dependencies first
[06:42] <richardcavell> [R]: What's wrong with the command : xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = Control_L"
[06:42] <moymoy> duckwars: a quick google search on "how to compile rtorrent" should give you a nice list
[06:42] <richardcavell> It should work but it doesn't
[06:42] <jsq> duckwars tar -xvf filename
[06:42] <[R]> richardcavell: so like i ALREADY said...
[06:43] <[R]> [10:38:53] [R] richardcavell: and then what does xev report?
[06:43] <jsq> then cd dir, ./config, make
[06:43] <jsq> or ./configure
[06:43] <dragon_> how can i share a file with someone using UbuntuOne?
[06:43] <jsq> anyone can help me?
[06:44] <richardcavell> [R]: I have the output of xev but what do I need to grep?
[06:44] <jsq> i am about to just format.. even though i have everything set up
[06:44] <[R]> richardcavell: when did i tell you to grep anything?
[06:44] <jsq> have had ubuntu running for almost a year.. don't know why this happened
[06:44] <cached> Holy crap. I just removed trackerd and now my laptop just became fast again.
[06:45] <histo> jsq: can you log in as your old user?
[06:45] <jsq> not in a tty, i cant log in as anyone
[06:45] <richardcavell> [R]: Well, xev produces a ton of output. I thought it might be sensible to grep the relevant parts
[06:45] <richardcavell> [R]: ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x6e00001,
[06:45] <richardcavell>     root 0xac, subw 0x6e00002, time 75764165, (45,39), root:(1141,630),
[06:45] <richardcavell>     state 0x0, button 2, same_screen YES
[06:45] <FloodBot1> richardcavell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:45] <jsq> just takes me back to a login prompt
[06:45] <moymoy> !paste | richardcavell
[06:45] <[R]> richardcavell: that is what is output when you push the key?
[06:45] <richardcavell> [R]: yes
[06:45] <richardcavell> moymoy: okay, noted, thanks
[06:45] <`boz> Hi all could anyone recommend a windows emulator to run under ubuntu?
[06:46] <richardcavell> `boz: you know about wine?
[06:46] <[R]> richardcavell: i thought you said it output a keycode
[06:46] <jsq> im in my old user now, i have auto login
[06:46] <`boz> wine is not working too well
[06:46] <richardcavell> [R]: It did before I mapped it to Control_L
[06:46] <histo> jsq: the other option is to boot and catch it at the grub menu and log in recovery mode so you can get single user access to figure out whats gonig on.
[06:46] <jsq> but anything that requires a password doesn't work
[06:46] <[R]> `boz: there is no such thing as a window emulator
[06:46] <richardcavell> `boz: it doesn't work for me either
[06:46] <jsq> i have done that
[06:46] <[R]> richardcavell: weird
[06:46] <histo> jsq: so everything works but tty?
[06:46] <joannethrax> Can anyone help me with getting sound to work?  I've been through everything on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[06:46] <jsq> i made a new user, and they aren't able to do admin either
[06:47] <`boz> i stand corrected R
[06:47] <jsq> everything but tty, and anything admin
[06:47] <histo> jsq: anyone should be able to admin with sudo
[06:47] <histo> jsq: perhaps the sudoers is messed up
[06:47] <jsq> yes
[06:47] <histo> !sudo | jsq
[06:47] <jsq> hence my problem.
[06:47] <jsq> i know what sudo is
[06:47] <richardcavell> [R]: Are you able to help me or are you just being sarcastic?
[06:47] <jsq> it's not working
[06:48] <joannethrax> no one as any ideas about sound?
[06:48] <histo> jsq: so your users are not in a certain group let me check mine
[06:48] <acmeinc> LF help configured the plugins in Brasero so I can burn a DVD of asome avi's...THanks!
[06:48] <jsq> sudo | julian | julian
[06:48] <jsq> bash: julian: command not found
[06:48] <duckwars> howto's never run straight trhough =(
[06:49] <joannethrax> I've a Dell Studio XPS.
[06:49] <histo> jsq: try sudo visudo
[06:49] <jsq> after i enter my password, absolutely nothing happens, eg when trying synaptic
[06:50] <jsq> nothing, just takes me to prompt
[06:50] <histo> jsq: are you sure your user is in admin group
[06:50] <jsq> i will double check, but yes
[06:50] <histo> gpasswd -a jsq admin
[06:50] <`boz> Does anyone know of a WINE alternative?
[06:50] <[R]> `boz: wine is the only implementation of windows api
[06:50] <histo> jsq: /var/log/auth.log will have errors as well
[06:50] <jsq> gpasswd: Permission denied.
[06:50] <joannethrax> and the sound card isn't making a peep
[06:50] <nirupama> How to execute udev
[06:51] <nirupama> I gave udevtrigger but nothing happened
[06:51] <`boz> so if don't go in wine, it don't go eh?
[06:51] <histo> jsq: reboot in single user mode and issue that command
[06:51] <richardcavell> `boz: there's the commercial version, called CrossOver
[06:51] <nirupama> I added the rules
[06:51] <jsq> Jul 14 07:50:01 julian-desktop CRON[6230]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user julian by (uid=0)
[06:51] <jsq> Jul 14 07:50:01 julian-desktop CRON[6229]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
[06:51] <jsq> ok
[06:51] <richardcavell> `boz: CrossOver is a bit ahead of the WINE curve, and based on the same code
[06:51] <jsq> then what?
[06:52] <`boz> cheers richardcavell may try that
[06:52] <histo> jsq: then reboot and sudo should be working
[06:52] <histo> jsq: for whatever user you specify
[06:52] <jsq> ok ty will try
[06:52] <richardcavell> `boz: Don't. You're better off virtualizing
[06:53] <`boz> how do i do that richardcavell?
[06:53] <richardcavell> `boz: Do you know about VirtualBox?
[06:53] <`boz> nope
[06:53] <richardcavell> `boz: it allows you to run an operating system such as Windows within Ubuntu
[06:53] <richardcavell> `boz: real windows, not WINE
[06:53] <`boz> ok
[06:54] <Gemmie78> If I'm currently on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon and choose to upgrade to 8.04 will I receive the new firefox
[06:54] <Gemmie78> I'm currently using firefox 2 and unable to upgrade it simply in the menu
[06:54] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: no
[06:54] <histo> Gemmie78: you'll have the firefox that was in 8.04
[06:54] <Gemmie78> I believe there's a firefox 3?
[06:54] <Gemmie78> I see, darn
[06:54] <histo> Gemmie78: you mean upgrading to 9.04
[06:54] <Gemmie78> And what firefox version was packaged in 8.04
[06:54] <richardcavell> Gemmie78: Yes there is but it's not in 7.10
[06:54] <Gemmie78> No no, I was hoping I could go with an LTS
[06:54] <histo> Gemmie78: 9.04 has 3.0.11
[06:54] <histo> Gemmie78: let me check
[06:55] <Gemmie78> thank you
[06:55] <Gemmie78> Currently I'm uysing 7.10 which has FF2 packaged in
[06:55] <rocky_> omg, you guys have to read this: http://austinist.com/2008/12/10/aisd_teacher_throws_fit_over_studen.php
[06:55] <richardcavell> rocky_: summary?
[06:55] <geirha> Gemmie78: Hardy has firefox 3, yes. And Gutsy has reached EOL a long time ago, so you should really upgrade
[06:55] <ZyYyXy> here is how to install firefox 3.5 http://www.ubun2.com/question/157/how_install_firefox_35_ubuntu
[06:56] <`boz> so i just have to get a windows version and install and i'm away then richardcaell
[06:56] <rocky_> richardcavell, a teacher has a fit about a kid distributing linux, thinking its illegal XD
[06:56] <histo> Gemmie78: it says version 3 in hardy
[06:56] <histo> !info firefox hardy | Gemmie78
[06:56] <Hilikus> when i ssh to my server i get the MOTD twice. any idea why??
[06:57] <jsq> ok, got the message: Adding user julian to group admin. still same problem: julian@julian-desktop:~$ sudo vi [sudo] password for julian:  julian@julian-desktop:~$
[06:57] <[R]> Hilikus: twice when you login or once before and once after?
[06:57] <richardcavell> `boz: Yes. Check the compatibilities first. It tends to be a bit slow. But it's really Windows inside Ubuntu.
[06:58] <Hilikus> [R]: twice when i loggin. one after the other
[06:58] <`boz> cheers richardcavell i'm on to it
[06:58] <richardcavell> `boz: Not really good for running games. But for servers or testing programs, etc, it's invaluable
[06:58] <jsq> gksu nautilus asks for password, then does nothing
[06:58] <`boz> autocad?
[06:58] <[R]> Hilikus: how odd
[06:58] <histo> Gemmie78: what version of ubuntu areyou running?
[06:59] <jsq> still can't log into a tty
[06:59] <geirha> Gemmie78: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades
[06:59] <Gemmie78> I'm considering upgrading but my concern is losing my settings files and bookmarks
[06:59] <histo> jsq: so you can't log in to tty and you can't use sudo is what you are saying?
[06:59] <histo> Gemmie78: do you have your home on a seperate parititon?
[06:59] <Hilikus> actually the "last login" info is displayed once but the info about the kernel and my custom message appears twice
[06:59] <Gemmie78> And doing an upgrade from the Upgrade Manager, I've never done it before so yeah I'm hesitant
[06:59] <jsq> is there some way to reset pam package? histo: yes! exactly
[06:59] <coolpyrofreak> Gemmie78: If you upgrade by changing your sources.list file, you shouldn't lose anything.
[06:59] <histo> !seperatehome | Gemmie78
[07:00] <Gemmie78> So to confirm hardy heron is 8.04 and an LTS version which should give plenty of support for many months to come
[07:00] <jsq> something with pam maybe?
[07:00] <Gemmie78> should be safer
[07:00] <histo> !home | Gemmie78
[07:00] <Gemmie78> and has Firefox 3?
[07:00] <Gemmie78> Will other programs be updated too, such as pidgin?
[07:00] <histo> Gemmie78: seperate home is your safeest bet all yoru settins and files should be stored there.
[07:00] <geirha> Gemmie78: Your home folder will not be touched by an upgrade
[07:00] <indus> hi
[07:00] <histo> jsq: let me find the link i was looking at with some trouble shooting for sudo
[07:00] <Gemmie78> Home into a seperate partiton, not that I'm aware of actually
[07:00] <jsq> ok thanks
[07:00] <histo> jsq: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sudo
[07:00] <indus> geirha: i dont think thats entirely true
[07:01] <geirha> Gemmie78: All programs will be updated, more or less
[07:01] <geirha> indus: how so?
[07:01] <anirban> I have installed Virtualmin 3.703.gpl module in my Webmin 1.480 panel of my Ubuntu 9.04 HyperVM VPS . Now I have added 1 domain named web2dziner.com using Virtualmin virtual hosts. The problem is when I type http://web2dziner.com (wrong Apache default page ) and http://www.web2dziner.com (the desired page) , it goes to two different webpages. I haven't done any modifications as such directly to the Apache. How to fix it ?
[07:01] <coolpyrofreak> Gemmie78: Possibly.  If you want everything up to date, though, you'd be best to upgrade to the latest version.
[07:01] <Gemmie78> I see, so my home folder is basically my settings and documents right
[07:01] <Gemmie78> What about installed software and programs? Will they be effected?
[07:01] <Gemmie78> Upgraded/ or even lost?
[07:01] <depaul> hey.. any experts here.. i need some help with ubuntu
[07:01] <indus> geirha: probably some .ice files etc are rewritten but iam probably wrong
[07:01] <coolpyrofreak> Gemmie78: They'd only be upgraded
[07:01] <S_A> Hi! where can i get package for kscope ?
[07:01] <indus> the Xauthority files
[07:01] <geirha> indus: No idea what .ice files is
[07:02] <Gemmie78> I see, thanks for the help everyone
[07:02] <coolpyrofreak> Gemmie78: Just because a package is upgraded doesn't mean you'll lose your preferences.  It might happen, but that's rare.
[07:02] <Gemmie78> I'm guessing I should sign out of everything and restart before an upgrade
[07:02] <indus> geirha: aah its some permissions file
[07:02] <Gemmie78> and even then
[07:02] <histo> Gemmie78: if you installed everything from apt or synaptic they will all be upgraded. Unless you used 3rd party repos
[07:02] <Gemmie78> I'm concerned about system requirements increasing with the upgrade
[07:02] <histo> Gemmie78: there are ways to install firefox 3 on your version of ubuntu as well.
[07:02] <depaul> anyone had a good time with ati driver in jaunty?
[07:02] <histo> Gemmie78: I don't think system specs have gone up at all
[07:02] <Gemmie78> Currently I run a 1.5 celeron M on 512MB ram, sufficient I hope
[07:02] <jsq> my /etc/group is okay
[07:03] <histo> Gemmie78: if anything you would probably see a performance increase due to a better version of gnome etc...
[07:03] <coolpyrofreak> depaul: which ATI driver
[07:03] <jsq> sudoers should be okay but i will go into recovery mode to make sure
[07:03] <GeorgeAScott> please tell me... if i had  synce-hal and removed it to install odccm, can i download just the package? im stuck with a mobile phone for the net otherwise..
[07:03] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: huh?
[07:03] <jsq> should be fine esp i just ran gpasswd -a
[07:03] <histo> Gemmie78: but if you back up your home you will have all your data and settings
[07:03] <aqlx86> How can configure the server to skip http authentication for local ip addresses?
[07:04] <geirha> Gemmie78: I've upgraded from Edgy 6.10 to Hardy 8.04, never lost any settings due to the upgrades
[07:04] <histo> Gemmie78: all the settings are in . folders hidden in yoru home.
[07:04] <Gemmie78> What about bookmarks?
[07:04] <histo> Gemmie78: there in there as well.
[07:04] <Gemmie78> settings for pidgin?
[07:04] <Gemmie78> Accounts?
[07:04] <histo> Gemmie78: everything
[07:04] <Gemmie78> thunderbird?
[07:04] <GeorgeAScott> i was tethered to my pc.  and installed a package without noticing that it was removing synce-hal.
[07:04] <coolpyrofreak> Gemmie78: yes.
[07:04] <histo> Gemmie78: all those settings are in your users home directories
[07:04] <Gemmie78> So the upgrade was seamless in the sense that the software was untouched
[07:04] <geirha> Gemmie78: firefox bookmarks are in ~/.mozilla/firefox/ somewhere. A bookmarks.html file for firefox 2 I believe
[07:04] <Gemmie78> sorry let me rephrase
[07:04] <GeorgeAScott> now i cant tether any more....
[07:05] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: ok and...
[07:05] <Gemmie78> the software was updated, but the settings for that software (pidgin, firefox, thunderbird) were kept?
[07:05] <Gemmie78> What about cookies? Temp files
[07:05] <coolpyrofreak> Gemmie78: exactly.
[07:05] <Gemmie78> etc
[07:05] <Gemmie78> I have to say I'm very surprised
[07:05] <GeorgeAScott> and tethering was my only outside connection... i cant apt-get synce-hal
[07:05] <coolpyrofreak> Gemmie78: cookies and temp files don't matter.  Firefox will download new cookies if it needs to.  Temp files are only temporary.
[07:06] <aqlx86> How can configure the Apache2 server to skip http authentication for local IP addresses?
[07:06] <geirha> Gemmie78: And upgrade updates package versions. It doesn't remove anything in your home-folder where all your personal settings are
[07:06] <anirban> I have installed Virtualmin 3.703.gpl module in my Webmin 1.480 panel of my Ubuntu 9.04 HyperVM VPS . Now I have added 1 domain named web2dziner.com using Virtualmin virtual hosts. The problem is when I type http://web2dziner.com (wrong Apache default page ) and http://www.web2dziner.com (the desired page) , it goes to two different webpages. I haven't done any modifications as such directly to the Apache. How to fix it ?
[07:06] <histo> Gemmie78: everything is in your home.  go to places > home and hit ctrl + h to see all the hidden files
[07:06] <histo> Gemmie78: hit ctrl+h again to hide them.
[07:07] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: ok... and...
[07:07] <histo> Gemmie78: or you can open a terminal and ls -la
[07:07] <Gemmie78> fantastic
[07:07] <GeorgeAScott> since synce-hal was the only package that was removed, can i download it to my mobile sd card and copy it over and restore tethering capabilities?
[07:08] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: OH... why dindt you say that to begin with
[07:08] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[07:08] <histo> Gemmie78: thats why I keep a seperate home partition I can switch distributions or anything and keep all my data.
[07:08] <GeorgeAScott> R, but will that work?
[07:09] <Gemmie78> A seperate home partition
[07:09] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: what do you mean?
[07:09] <Gemmie78> But I thought the home partition was untouched?
[07:09] <GeorgeAScott> if i remove the odccm package that caused the removal of synce-hal
[07:09] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: sounds like you'll have to reinstall both
[07:09] <S_A> Hi! where can i get package for kscope ?
[07:10] <geirha> Gemmie78: Yes, when upgrading, when reinstalling Ubuntu though, you want a separate home partition so you can tell the installer not to wipe it
[07:10] <GeorgeAScott> reinstall both? i just want synce-hal back, i can use sd card to transfer files if need be.  i just want net back on my pc..
[07:11] <Kartagis> hey all. in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I attempted to change the Login sound, but it defaults. any ideas?
[07:11] <histo> Gemmie78: it is in an upgrade. But i have the optiont aht I can reload root and just mount my home so that all my stuff stays even when switching to different distros.  You don't have to worry about that if you are upgrading.
[07:11] <logankoester> Anyone have a favorite command line alternative to pidgin?
[07:12] <histo> !best | logankoester
[07:13] <jsq> ok,, everything is in order.. im going to say its nothing to do with the sudoers file or the group.. especially i created a new user.. and they are unable to sudo. also a can't log into a tty and that has nothing to do with sudo, and i think these are related.
[07:13] <GeorgeAScott> my biggest question... if i go to the ubuntu packages page and download the synce-hal(though i think i got it originally through svn) all dependencies should be met right, since that was the only package removed?
[07:13] <logankoester> histo: Haven't seen a rule like that on irc before, seems kinda silly. But thank you, I won't ask again
[07:13] <histo> jsq: thats wierd let me do some more searching
[07:13] <jsq> iirc or something is cool
[07:13] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: if you have them all... but it sounds like you removed one of its deps
[07:14] <histo> jsq: do you get an error when you try to log in to a tty
[07:14] <geirha> logankoester: for what protocols?
[07:14] <jsq> no, it just says ubuntu 9.04 blah, then prompt for login again
[07:15] <GeorgeAScott> R, i was trying to install odccm because i couldnt access the file sys on my phone anymore(????) but when i did it removed synce-hal... which broke the tethering shindig i had going on..
[07:16] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: ok so reinstall it
[07:16] <jsq> wish i could cut & paste :P
[07:16] <Gemmie78> Cool. I was a little concerned upgrading that there might me an option to start from a fresh slate
[07:16] <histo> jsq: you can use pastebin I had a similiar problem before trying to remmeber what I did to fix it.
[07:16] <GeorgeAScott> but cpying synce-hal from the sd card to the pc should be ok since all dependencies were there before right?
[07:16] <Gemmie78> I'll probably upgrade later on tonight, thanks to everyone involved
[07:16] <jsq> i mean from the tty
[07:17] <[R]> GeorgeAScott: unless you removed something
[07:17] <histo> jsq: yeah same behavior
[07:17] <crunchbang> hi

[07:39] <KingSteve032> I need help
[07:39] <NickDeNeger> just ask...
[07:39] <Jar> Hey guys I have a freeradius server using mysql db for authentication. It is on the same server as a Dansguardian/Squid proxy server. I use SARG to view the reports of internet usage. Currently this is reporting by IP address. Is it possible for me to have it log by the username from the MYSQL db?
[07:40] <KingSteve032> I installed ubuntu through a pc and put the hdd into my laptop and i get a gurb error
[07:40] <KingSteve032> no i mean os
[07:40] <NickDeNeger> you transfered the disk to another pc?
[07:41] <KingSteve032> it says  Error loading operating system
[07:41] <Jar> KingSteve032: because of different hardware, it would chuck out errors
[07:41] <KingSteve032> so what i do
[07:41] <Jar> Best bet is to build the ubuntu install on the laptop
[07:42] <KingSteve032> my laptop doesnt have a disc drive
[07:42] <saif> is it possible to install ubuntu in virtual box in xp host ?
[07:42] <lstarnes> saif: yes
[07:42] <Slart> saif: yes
[07:42] <jsq> guess what
[07:42] <NickDeNeger> that is probably because your laptop has other disk settings
[07:42] <jsq> apt-get purge samba* fixed it!
[07:42] <jsq> weird...
[07:42] <Jar> KingSteve032: I am sure there is a way to install ubuntu off a USB
[07:42] <NickDeNeger> when it was on your pc the drive directive was probably /dev/hd?
[07:43] <KingSteve032> on a ibm thinkpad 4r0
[07:43] <saif> lstarnes,slart : is there any addition work or just what i am used to do
[07:43] <NickDeNeger> ^^
[07:43] <KingSteve032> r40
[07:43] <NickDeNeger> lol that's old :+
[07:43] <jsq> histo thonks alot
[07:43] <jsq> thanks*
[07:43] <Jar> KingSteve032: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html
[07:43] <NickDeNeger> boot via network support?
[07:43] <Slart> lstarnes: the same procedure as always.. setup machine, tell it to boot from the install cd/iso, start machine
[07:43] <jsq> now.. do i want to reinstall samba... or slackware... hmm
[07:43] <jsq> not really :P
[07:44] <histo> jsq: sudo aptitude install samba
[07:44] <histo> jsq: thats wierd.
[07:44] <jsq> it has already got uninstalled twice... 1st time nothing bad came of it
[07:45] <jsq> i will leave it uninstalled for now.. and keep ubuntu

[07:50] <acalvo> Hi!
[07:51] <indus> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseNotes/ChangeSummary/8.04.3
[07:51] <anesthesia> You are home alone, and you hear on the news about the profile of a murderer who is on the loose.
[07:51] <anesthesia> You look out the sliding glass doors to your backyard, and you notice a man standing out in the snow. He fits the profile of the murderer exactly, and he is smiling at you.
[07:51] <anesthesia> You gulp, picking up the phone to your right and dialing 911.
[07:51] <anesthesia> You look back out the glass as you press the phone to your ear, and notice he is much closer to you now.
[07:51] <anesthesia> You then drop the phone in shock.
[07:51] <FloodBot1> anesthesia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:51] <wangtao_> there is chinese guys?

[07:51] <amine> hello
[07:51] <supreme_> :o
[07:51] <acalvo> I've deleted an user but it seems that its UID it's still used, how can I check it?
[07:51] <gogeta> !cn
[07:51] <amine> is ubuntu's installer text-based or gui? my computer can't display anything text-based (bios, grub, ctrl-alt-f1 in xorg, etc)
[07:52] <wangtao_> ok
[07:52] <jsq> supreme: maybe sudo touch /proc/acpi/event
[07:52] <gogeta> amine: gui
[07:52] <No1Viking> whois iamfuzz
[07:52] <supreme_> jsq:  maybe... that could be dirty?
[07:52] <wangtao_> ubottu, are you a real man?! or bot?!
[07:52] <Cybertinus> amine: the normal installer is GUI, the alternate installer is text-based
[07:52] <Hilikus> can someone please run /etc/init.d/bootlogs.sh as a regular user and tell me what commands fail with permission denied please
[07:52] <jsq> yes.. but it might work
[07:53] <amine> Cybertinus: so if I boot up the CD, it load X?
[07:53] <wangtao_> ubottu, are you sure? a real bot?!
[07:53] <Blizzerand> !lol
[07:53] <urthmover> haha
[07:53] <amine> 'this is instant relay chat, not instant messaging'
[07:53] <supreme_> amine: is just a bot
[07:53] <supreme_> :p
[07:53] <Cybertinus> amine: yeah, it starts X, and then you double click "Install" and the installer then runs
[07:54] <KingSteve032> !lol
[07:54] <amine> Cybertinus: okay cool, thanks
[07:54] <amine> someone add !!lol :p
[07:54] <byerley> I'm having some grub issues, anyone up for helping me troubleshoot?
[07:54] <byerley> pls? :D
[07:54] <amine> byerley: just ask your question
[07:56] <Kalamansi> hello guys. BitchX anyone? how to read private msg or the people who msg to me? i cannot read their msg using ctrl+n or ctrl+p and /win 1 or /win # ....
[07:57] <byerley> amine: help troubleshooting grub is about as much as I can ask without pouring out details. I dual-boot xp, was doing some repartitioning and stupidly let PartitionMagic Pro have free reign. It screwed up my MBR something fierce, used fixmbr on a windows boot disk, but now I'm having a lot of trouble getting grub running again (system will boot into windows fine)
[07:58] <Boohbah> Kalamansi: you are aware that BitchX was removed from debian long ago because it is no longer maintained and contains known security vulnerabilities, right?
[07:59] <gogeta> Kalamansi:waent that surpassed by ircii
[07:59] <adhil> hi there, anyone know how to hide the partition icons showing in the desktop while it is mounted. am using ubuntu 9.04 with gnome desktop
[08:00] <madsj> what's the package name for the program lint ?
[08:00] <Blizzerand> adhil : Why do you want to do that
[08:00] <papul> hi. i want to reinstall firefox.
[08:00] <papul> how do i do it?
[08:00] <bernardlychan1> hi! eversince i got kde, i haven't been able to get the desktop on just one monitor. it's always been on two. does anyone know how to fix this?
[08:00] <acalvo> How can I get a list of used UIDs in my system?
[08:00] <madsj> papul: "sudo aptitude reinstall firefox"
[08:00] <gogeta> papul: sudo apt-get -reinstall firefox
[08:00] <jsq> adhil: something in gconf i think
[08:01] <gogeta> lol
[08:01] <papul> which one do i use?????//
[08:01] <gogeta> bothh work
[08:01] <papul> ok
[08:01] <bernardlychan1> eversince i got kde, i haven't been able to get the desktop on just one monitor. it's always been on two. does anyone know how to fix this?
[08:01] <gogeta> no -
[08:01] <madsj> papul and gogeta: I think aptitude keeps track of the changes and apt-get doesn't
[08:01] <linux_> i lost connection when i ran shiretoko web browser
[08:01] <gogeta> madsj: i beleve there all linked in ubuntu
[08:01] <unop> acalvo, awk -F: '{print $3}' /etc/passwd | sort -nu
[08:02] <Boohbah> Kalamansi: interesting, there is a BitchX2 according to http://www.bitchx.com/
[08:02] <bernardlychan1> anybody know how to install a .tar.gz file? everytime i try to run commands, it says "no such file or directory".
[08:02] <jsq> gconf-editor
[08:02] <unop> !source > bernardlychan1
[08:02] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: what is contained in the file, source?
[08:02] <papul> !source
[08:02] <gogeta> bernardlychan1: tars are not a dri there a arcive like a zip
[08:02] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: if so you will have to build it
[08:02] <gogeta> dir
[08:03] <papul> aptitude is removing many things. is it ok????
[08:03] <kraut> moin
[08:03] <gogeta> papul: it shoukd be 4 or 5 packages it removed them then installs em
[08:03] <byerley> papul: if you're using the reinstall option, should be
[08:04] <unop> !build > bernardlychan1 , sorry, ignore !source, see this instead
[08:04] <acalvo> unop:  thanks
[08:04] <papul> my progress bar doesnt show up.
[08:04] <ivenkys> morning gents - not a strictly ubuntu question but here goes - i have got ubuntu running on a VM on OS X , now i run Apache within ubuntu , how do i access that Apache instance publically from within the network , does that make sense ?
[08:04] <papul> firefox was working fine yesterday
[08:05] <MikeL> !info eclipse
[08:05] <jsq> the instance?
[08:05] <byerley> ivenkys: depends how the VM is doing networking
[08:05] <Boohbah> ivenkys: that depends on what sort of virtualization software you are using and the network configuration. try running ifconfig in the vm
[08:05] <anirban> why I am getting this problem in http://dbms.web2dziner.com/ ?
[08:05] <ivenkys> jsq: yes
[08:05] <jsq> i always have luck with bridged networking, if that helps at all
[08:06] <NickDeNeger> anirban, your mysql module isn't loaded into php
[08:06] <anirban> NickDeNeger : How to load that ?
[08:06] <bernardlychan1>  Boohbah: bernardlychan1: what is contained in the file, source? what do u mean?
[08:06] <ivenkys> Boohbah: i am using Virtual Box - and ifconfig gives me a 10.x.x.x networking address .- any pointers to where i can read more about this
[08:06] <jsq> sounds like your using vmware fusion? in wich case i have no clue
[08:06] <Kartagis> hey all. in System > Preferences > Sound, Sounds tab, I attempted to change the Login sound, but it defaults. any ideas?
[08:06] <jsq> oh nvm
[08:06] <ivenkys> jsq: nope - Virtual Box
[08:07] <NickDeNeger> anirban, open your php config file and uncommand the load_module mysql;
[08:07] <Dulak> Saturn2888: what's broke?
[08:07] <NickDeNeger> but maybe you need to apt-get install php-mysql
[08:07] <NickDeNeger> first
[08:07] <barqers> Guys, I went to synaptic and downloaded gfx-boot themes, then when I go to startup manager it doesn't see any of them, and I can't click the option to use an image for bootloader
[08:08] <Saturn2888> Dulak: the apache server is working, it's listening. I can go to ebox on https://serveraddress, but if I go to any of the domains in /var/www/, they don't work. Also,
[08:08] <carlos`> I've installed ubuntu 9.04 in yutube for example i can hear the sound of the vidoes but not the vidoes themself. i found a manual which says to use apt-get install adobe-flashplugin , but it says it has no installatin candidate , how can i add sources to apt-get ?
[08:08] <hunter107> hey all...strange problem here. i'm streaming my webcam via vlc over rtp, but on the receiver i'm getting Port Unreachable (from wireshark). on the server even netstat does not list the stream port as LISTEN.
[08:08] <Saturn2888> Dulak: also, I can go to mydomain.com/apex/ and get oracle's thing working to. But that shouldn't work since the domain isn't working otherwise.
[08:08] <Dulak> Saturn2888: the domains in /var/www, you added config files for them in /etc/apache2/sites-available and enabled them?
[08:08] <gogeta> carlos`: sudo apt-get install flash-installer
[08:09] <hunter107> quick telnet to the server on stream port says connection refused....no firewalls running
[08:09] <NickDeNeger> hmm wrong package to, try php5-mysql ^^
[08:09] <carlos`> gogeta, E: Couldn't find package flash-installer
[08:09] <jsq> aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree (for the non-free 1)
[08:09] <Saturn2888> Dulak: well they used to work. Not after whatever happened to them today. The domains are there. How do I know if they're enabled?
[08:09] <bernardlychan1> hey anybody know how to make kde run on just one monitor not two? i have a laptop and a mon, and it has to run on both.
[08:09] <anirban> NickDeNeger : E: Couldn't find package php-mysql !! I am on ubuntu
[08:10] <NickDeNeger> anirban, php5-mysql
[08:10] <NickDeNeger> sorry my bad
[08:10] <Dulak> Saturn2888: if they are enabled they'll have a link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[08:10] <barqers> anyone know how to change bootloader theme?
[08:11] <gogeta> !spllash
[08:11] <Saturn2888> Dulak: yep, they're there
[08:11] <gogeta> !splash
[08:11] <byerley> alright so: "grub> find /grub/stage1" gives me "(hd0,5)", "grub> root (hd0,5)", "grub>setup (hd0)" gives me: Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed Error 12: Invalid device requested
[08:11] <byerley> any ideas?
[08:11] <Dulak> Saturn2888: what happens when you try to load one of them? What error do you see in the browser?
[08:11] <Saturn2888> The connection was reset blah blah blah in FFox
[08:12] <anirban> NickDeNeger : Installed, now what to do ?
[08:12] <Dulak> Saturn2888: and if you do "ps aux | grep apache" you see that apache has some processes running?
[08:12] <Saturn2888> Dulak: I'd like to note that only /apex/ works. All of the other ones like /otrs/ and /bandwidthd do not
[08:12] <NickDeNeger> anirban, i don't have php installed so i try out of my head... go to etc/php
[08:12] <NickDeNeger> then open the config file
[08:13] <NickDeNeger> and uncomment the load_module mysql.so
[08:13] <Saturn2888> Dulak: http://pastebin.com/d1f0b0ed6
[08:13] <indus> byerley: seems you are stuck with repairing grub

[08:16] <byerley> gogeta: I was under the impression that supergrub didn't have anything more than an ubuntu live disk to offer?
[08:16] <bernardlychan1>   hey guys when i type this in terminal: tar -xvf superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz, i get this: tar: superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory  tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now.
[08:16] <lstarnes> bernardlychan1: stop that
[08:16] <indus> byerley: are you running grub with sudo?
[08:16] <bernardlychan1>   hey guys when i type this in terminal: tar -xvf superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz, i get this: tar: superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory  tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now.
[08:17] <NickDeNeger> ahh ffs where the fuck is it
[08:17] <lstarnes> bernardlychan1: you need to change to the directory where that file is first
[08:17] <bernardlychan1> thanks
[08:17] <Saturn2888> Dulak: nothing except google bot and some other spiders
[08:17] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: tar xzvf superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz
[08:17] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: z for gzip
[08:17] <lstarnes> bernardlychan1: btw, next time, please wait 15 minutes or so before repeating
[08:17] <indus> !language | NickDeNeger
[08:17] <byerley> indus: well, from root yes
[08:17] <gogeta> byerley: super grub can fix windows reinstall grub find linux installs and even boot a distro with a bad grub install
[08:17] <NickDeNeger> sorry indus :)
[08:17] <Dulak> Saturn2888: I actually meant the error log
[08:18] <Saturn2888> oh
[08:18] <Saturn2888> lemme paste
[08:18] <byerley> gogeta: fair enough, thanks
[08:18] <Saturn2888> Dulak: http://pastebin.com/d276a7aa2
[08:18] <indus> byerley:just make sure you typed hd and number 0 and not the alphabet o
[08:19] <indus> root(hd0,5)
[08:19] <indus> byerley: do one thing type root(hd and press tab
[08:19] <Dulak> Saturn2888: that's the problem right there, it's not getting a session id for some reason and it's failing
[08:19] <Boohbah> or if you are confusing o and 0, get a nice monospace font like bitstream vera sans mono
[08:19] <bernardlychan1> lstarnes; i'm still getting error when i type this: tar -xvf /home/desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz
[08:19] <Saturn2888> Dulak: ok. Then what's that issue from?
[08:20] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: tar xzvf /home/desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz
[08:20] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: z for gzip
[08:20] <hatori> heya my x no longer starts itll just hant when i type startx
[08:20] <hatori> would anyone know why?
[08:20] <bernardlychan1> ok boohbah, will try
[08:20] <byerley> indus: I've done this a few times, I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure my syntax is right
[08:20] <bernardlychan1> hey boohbah
[08:21] <byerley> gogeta: http://download.cnet.com/Auto-Super-Grub-Disk/3000-2094_4-10829335.html is what I want yeah?
[08:21] <bernardlychan1> still error
[08:21] <hatori> after a while it says giving up no such file or directory
[08:21] <Dulak> Saturn2888: not sure I"m looking for anyone else that had the issue, give me a minute
[08:21] <indus> byerley: use tab to see what devices are available like root(hd then tab
[08:21] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: what's the error?
[08:21] <lstarnes> bernardlychan1: /home/$USER/Desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz
[08:21] <lstarnes> bernardlychan1: or the shortened form ~/Desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz
[08:21] <indus> byerley: root(hd0,then also press tab
[08:21] <Boohbah> oh dear...
[08:21] <bernardlychan1> tar: /home/desktop/superkaramba-0.39.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

[08:22] <indus> bernardlychan1: go to paste.ubuntu.com then paste this in there
[08:22] <Boohbah> bernardlychan1: so unless you have a user called 'desktop' ....
[08:22] <byerley> indus: 0,1,3,5,6
[08:22] <indus> bernardlychan1: just type in one line with commas,
[08:22] <bernardlychan1> thanks istarnes!!
[08:22] <indus> byerley: good
[08:22] <hunter107> hey all...strange problem here. i'm streaming my webcam via vlc over rtp, but on the receiver i'm getting Port Unreachable (from wireshark). on the server even netstat does not list the stream port as LISTEN. no firewalls running..
[08:23] <bernardlychan1> hey guys what do i do after i've unzipped .tar.gz?
[08:23] <indus> byerley: so go ahead and type root(Hd0, and tab should list some of the partitions available with a description
[08:23] <bernardlychan1> where r the files that i've unzipped?
[08:23] <indus> bernardlychan1: well it will create a folder with same name \
[08:24] <indus> bernardlychan1: it will be in same place where the tar file is
[08:24] <hunter107> even streaming to localhost gives the same problem, but only on ubuntu. i tried on other distros, its working fine.
[08:24] <bernardlychan1> ok... wierd
[08:24] <indus> *weird
[08:24] <indus> that spelling confuses me all the time
[08:25] <indus> byerley:
[08:25] <Dulak> Saturn2888: ok well from that log otrs is what is broke and causing your problem, but nobody seems to have that same error so there is nothing to go on, if it was me I'd go back to the older OTRS and see if it starts working again, then take that error log and put it on the otrs mailing list for more help
[08:25] <Dulak> Saturn2888: they don't even have a forum, it's all mailing lists
[08:25] <supreme_> damn, i cannot fix the apt-get error
[08:26] <bernardlychan1> hey guys what do i do when i've unzipped the .tar.gz?
[08:27] <bernardlychan1> (soz to be so annoying)
[08:27] <byerley> indus: 0 is 0xde (my dell utility partition), 1 is 0x7 (Windows), 3 is 0xdb, 5 is ox83 (ubuntu), 6 is 0x82 (swap I believe?)
[08:28] <Saturn2888> Dulak: yeah, I requested a forum. Should I just uninstall reinstall?
[08:28] <bernardlychan1> hey guys what do i do when i've unzipped the .tar.gz?
[08:28] <Saturn2888> Dulak: the version in Ubuntu is 2.2.4 which isn't even the newest 2.2.x version. .7 has security updates for instance
[08:28] <martinjh99> Does anyone have a link to docs for upgrading between LTS versions?  I have a LTS server I need to upgrade to 8.04LTS
[08:28] <Dulak> Saturn2888: honestly I have no idea, I have never used it, but something is broke in that newer package you installed
[08:29] <supreme_> martinjh99: in sypantic, you can configure that
[08:29] <Dulak> Saturn2888: it looks like they make all their money from commercial support, so chances of getting anything like a timely response without paying for support is pretty low
[08:29] <supreme_> the system only shows the LTS updates
[08:29] <iceroot> i am searching for a program which can manage passwords, i only need username, password and target for the login. this should be an application with a gui and NOT keyring-manager. it should be an application for managing logins like f-spot is managing photos
[08:29] <barqers> Can someone help me? I installed the gfxboot-themes from synaptic, but inside the startupmanager I can't tick "Use bootloader image"
[08:29] <byerley> indus: in any case, I'll be back in a bit if supergrub doesn't work out
[08:29] <barqers> How do I change bootloader theme?
[08:29] <Saturn2888> Dulak: yep. And there doesn't seem to be a better database system. At least not a free one.
[08:30] <martinjh99> Its a server - No X...  Have been looking at do-update-manager will that go from LTS to LTS...?
[08:30] <Dulak> Saturn2888: but that error doesn't show up scanning their mailing list archive, so if it's something new....  Also you can see if maybe they have a ubuntu deb of the the newest version you can download and install manually, instead of using the repo
[08:30] <indus> byerley: so try again with hd0,5
[08:30] <supreme_> martinjh99: what about edit sources.list?
[08:30] <Kartagis> !info libnpjp2.so
[08:30] <Saturn2888> Dulak: I tried two deb files but they're both for Debian. There isn't any official Ubuntu version so I dunno how I'm even running it
[08:30] <ubuntu> what do i need prior to compiling other than build-essential?
[08:30] <supreme_> martinjh99: and replace dapper with hardy
[08:30] <indus> Saturn2888: DO NOT install debian files direct in ubuntu
[08:31] <martinjh99> Supreme I might just do that actually thinking about it.. ;) Probably a lot easier!
[08:31] <Kartagis> libnpjp2.so is provided by what package?
[08:31] <Saturn2888> indus: oh why?
[08:31] <indus> !Iinfo libnpjp
[08:31] <Dulak> Saturn2888: honestly I wouldn't even bother with a deb, for that I'd probably be using the source and manually installing, so I could update as new releases come out, the repo is lagging behind by a lot
[08:31] <indus> Saturn2888: well , packaging
[08:31] <Kartagis> !info libnpjp
[08:31] <supreme_> i hope it works
[08:31] <indus> Saturn2888: there are differences and it will break your system
[08:32] <supreme_> i have problem with apt-get
[08:32] <supreme_> everything that i try to do i get an error
[08:32] <martinjh99> Thanks guys
[08:32] <iceroot> supreme_: post the error at pastebin
[08:32] <Boohbah> supreme_: what is the error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[08:32] <iceroot> !paste | supreme_
[08:32] <supreme_> ok
[08:33] <Saturn2888> Dulak: indus: sounds like a good idea. I'll do it from now on soon as I backup these files and go ahead and remove it
[08:33] <supreme_> my system is spanish, is there a way to run the command in english ?
[08:33] <indus> Dulak: Saturn2888:you could always enable proposed repository or backports for newer packages
[08:33] <Dulak> Saturn2888: I never use packages for web apps, they tend to update much faster than a repo package, so it's actually easier just to use source and manually update as I need it
[08:33] <indus> !proposed
[08:34] <indus> bah
[08:34] <ubuntu> what do i need prior to compiling other than build-essential?
[08:34] <indus> ubuntu:nothing else
[08:34] <ubuntu> indus, could i send you a pastebin to see what's missing please?
[08:34] <indus> ubuntu: you will need some courage though
[08:34] <indus> :)
[08:34] <indus> ubuntu ya sure
[08:35] <ubuntu> indus, lol im on a live cd not to ruin anything with my learning experience ;)
[08:35] <Boohbah> supreme_: we should still be able to help
[08:35] <supreme_> iceroot  http://paste.ubuntu.com/220328/
[08:35] <Saturn2888> Dulak: what do I do after I do this? Restart apache? Think you can help me setup a newer version of ((otrs)) ?
[08:35] <iceroot> supreme_: sorry dont speak spain or what that is
[08:36] <Boohbah> supreme_: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=440870
[08:36] <Saturn2888> Dulak: YAY! Thank you so much, My site works now! :D
[08:36] <Dulak> Saturn2888: yeah probably a restart of apache after the package is removed, as for installing the newest, I've never used it so I'd just be reading the docs on it just like you
[08:36] <ubuntu> indus, http://pastebin.com/m328a07c0
[08:36] <Boohbah> supreme_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/63450
[08:36] <Boohbah> supreme_: found those by googling the error message, usually works :)
[08:37] <Dulak> Saturn2888: get the newest source, unpack it, and read the README and/or INSTALL file to start
[08:37] <Saturn2888> Dulak: well I've never compiled anything from source before. Lemme take a look. I'll ask questions as needed
[08:37] <Kartagis> what package provides libnpjp2.so?
[08:37] <indus> ubuntu:what is this pastte?
[08:37] <indus> Kartagis: what does that lib do?
[08:38] <ubuntu> indus, have you heard of the package called stow?
[08:38] <Dulak> Saturn2888: it's a web app, it's not compiled.  Read this: http://doc.otrs.org/2.3/en/html/x414.html
[08:38] <indus> ubuntu nope
[08:38] <ubuntu> indus, the regular sudo make install has exact same error btw
[08:38] <Kartagis> indus, it's for java applications in ff, I think
[08:39] <ubuntu> indus, stow is a program with a folder in /usr/local that basically helps u remove apps as easily as if it were managed by a packaging system but without any binaries
[08:39] <der_On> Hello. After a distro-update and then again downgrade (for compatibility reasons of some libraries) I've get a "segmenation fault" most of the time using nautilus and now even when starting a binary. I already did a lot of googling, but don't know what the segemenation fault even is. Does someone know how to track the problem down?
[08:39] <Dulak> Saturn2888: you probably have the perl modules part already since you installed from the package, but otherwise it's just copying and putting things in the right places and stuff
[08:39] <iceroot> Kartagis: use apt-file to search for the file
[08:39] <ubuntu> indus, but if that confuses you, ill paste a regular sudo make install and would you be able to tell me what im missing then?
[08:39] <ubuntu> indus, in fact it would have the same output so i dont see the need
[08:39] <iceroot> Kartagis: apt-file will tell you the paket which provides the file
[08:40] <supreme_> Boohbah: didn't work,, but im still trying other ways
[08:40] <ubuntu> indus, here's an easy to understand guide im reading: http://fredbrunel.com/journal/2004/03/stow/
[08:40] <indus> ubuntu: its lunch time i will come back later
[08:40] <supreme_> iceroot: that is a problem with my apt-get ,when i try to install anything i get that error
[08:41] <bernardlychan1> hey indus, see pm
[08:41] <Saturn2888> Dulak: so it would be compatible if I installed a newer version?
[08:41] <ubuntu> indus, k ill probly be here
[08:42] <supreme_> Boohbah: i can't believe that i have to recompile the kernel... i really cant believe it, im searching for another solution
[08:42] <KingSteve032> I keep getting funky error when  i try to boot from a thumb drive to install it
[08:43] <Kartagis> iceroot, does it do a search in the repos?
[08:43] <gogeta> supreme_: ipv6 bug i assume
[08:43] <iceroot> Kartagis: yes (in the index files)
[08:43] <KingSteve032> Buffer I/O error
[08:43] <Boohbah> supreme_: you can try a newer kernel from a debian repository
[08:43] <supreme_> gogeta: : how ipv6 could affect apt-get or acpi?
[08:43] <iceroot> Kartagis: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && sudo apt-file search the-file-you-search
[08:44] <supreme_> humm
[08:44] <gogeta> supreme_: oh diffrent bug
[08:44] <Saturn2888> Dulak: I think my database is gone too? I made a backup. Do you know how to move it?
[08:45] <Boohbah> Saturn2888: is it a sql dump of a mysql database?
[08:45] <Saturn2888> Boohbah: yeah
[08:46] <gogeta> supreme_: i had some crazyness with the genrec kernel to i switched to the array.org netbook kernel being i have a netbook
[08:46] <Boohbah> Saturn2888: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/6_4_en.html
[08:46] <padd1> hey
[08:48] <Saturn2888> Boohbah: seems to be working? I dunno. IT didn't throw -- yeah! IT WORKS THANKS :D
[08:48] <supreme_> damn....
[08:48] <supreme_> check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/220335/  is about apt-get error
[08:49] <Boohbah> Saturn2888: excellent
[08:49] <Kartagis> libnpjp2.so exists on the system but mozilla doesn't recognize it
[08:49] <supreme_> i really cannot fix that,,, still trying
[08:50] <mitkok> Hey, guys. Does anyone know how to "clear" the result of xrdb -merge .Xresources ?
[08:52] <anirban> Why I am getting this error screenshot: http://download.techdarpan.com/download.php?viminfo.jpg ??
[08:52] <supreme_> lol, i think i fixed renaming /etc/init.d/acpid script and leaving an empty file instead :P
[08:53] <Boohbah> anirban: i dunno but you need to fix your webserver
[08:53] <supreme_> then, after dpkg fixed the problem, i just renamed the acpid_orig to acpid
[08:53] <eeos> I would like to buy a desktop with ubuntu preinstalled or no os, and 3 years NBD on site warranty .... does anyone know whether this is possible (UK)?
[08:53] <BromaxSux> what is /etc/esound/esd.conf responsible for?
[08:54] <iceroot> eeos: DELL imo
[08:54] <Boohbah> BromaxSux: esd configuration, believe it or not :)
[08:54] <ubuntu> eeos, check Dell and system76 (haven't checked them out myself so can't help more)
[08:54] <iceroot> eeos: also have a look at debian.org  there is a list with pc-sellers installing linux on them
[08:55] <eeos> iceroot: got a look to Dell, negative .... system76 does not do UK I believe
[08:55] <Boohbah> BromaxSux: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_Sound_Daemon
[08:55] <BromaxSux> Boohbah: yep im there. thanks
[08:56] <Saturn2888> Dulak: ok. I downloaded the OTRS2.3.4.tar.gz file. I untarred it. It shows the directory structure. Looks like I can just copy/paste it and then what? That's the EOF. If I run it it might ask me to update the database and stuff. This is really confusing
[08:56] <eeos> iceroot: debian.org, ther eis no UK
[08:56] <Saturn2888> Dulak: oh, I found an upgrading file
[08:56] <Dulak> Saturn2888: just follow that, I'd be reading it just like you, I never heard of otrs before tonight
[08:57] <Saturn2888> Dulak: what does *) Stop all your services (e. g. rcotrs stop-force) Mean?
[08:57] <AdvoWork> hi there. yesterday i edited /etc/logrotate.conf and i added an entry for syslog: http://pastebin.com/d7ec86924  its rotated the file, as it now says syslog.conf but its still 410mb so its not compressed it. any ideas please?
