[16:35] <Joker_-_> abhi_: anyway, just google your mac, ubuntu and howto
[16:35] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I bet you'll get everything you need
[16:35] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : ok.
[16:35] <abhi_> which laptop is best compatible with ubuntu?
[16:36] <BlearyBram> abhi_: I really want to know that answer myself.  I heard Dell and ThinkPad seemed to be best, but I don't know.
[16:36] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I guess everything is kinda compatible. The newer, the less likely to be fully compatible tho
[16:37] <Alan_M> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam abhi_ you can try looking at this link :)
[16:37] <Alan_M> im not sure of how "up to date" it is.
[16:37] <fwaokda> how do you edit tilda? like its options?
[16:37] <Raheem> abhi_, http://www.linux-laptop.net/ that also helps i believe
[16:38] <Joker_-_> abhi_: Corporations are building drivers for windows, but thats the community who has to develop drivers for the majority of hardware in linux, without having the specs needed from manifacturers most of the time... Reverse engeneering ftw.
[16:38] <Alan_M> Raheem: i wasnt aware of that page, thanks :)
[16:38] <abhi_> Joker_-_,, BlearyBram : few days back i am compiling kernel . one option is there for 1>dell 2>toshiba.
[16:38] <Joker_-_> abhi_: so the older it is, the most likely it is to be compatible
[16:38] <Raheem> :)
[16:38] <abhi_> that true
[16:38] <cr0w> hi i have a problem..as the themes are settled? I do not succeed to us..
[16:38] <fwaokda> whats the command to uninstall a program from shell?
[16:39] <Sudowman> fwaokda: apt-get remove
[16:39] <Alan_M> cr0w: can you rephrase your question? i am not understanding you buddy :)
[16:39] <Raheem> abhi_, i am using hp compaq 6720s .. core2duo .. works perfectly
[16:39] <abhi_> thinks dell is selling laptops with ubuntu in us
[16:39] <Alan_M> abhi_: you are right
[16:39] <cr0w> Alan_m i want install a theme..
[16:39] <fwaokda> ty :)
[16:39] <cr0w> but..i don't succeed ..
[16:39] <crawler> hi everybody
[16:39] <abhi_> Raheem, : which model
[16:39] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I have a few friends who got everything working out of their macs... none uses ubuntu tho
[16:39] <Alan_M> cr0w: what part of installing are you having trouble with? do you get any error messages?
[16:39] <Joker_-_> abhi_: but any distro is the same when it comes to hardware
[16:39] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : good joke
[16:40] <xidryck> hi, im a newbie in ubuntu. do i need an anti-virus in ubuntu?
[16:40] <leftyfb> xidryck: no
[16:40] <Raheem> HP Compaq 6720s . .the only issue I had was with the wireless.. but it got solved when i upgraded to 8.04
[16:40] <Sudowman> xidryck: nope, but you should configure a firewall
[16:40] <Joker_-_> abhi_: heh, wasnt a joke, no pun intended ;)
[16:40] <Raheem> !antivirus
[16:40] <xidryck> leftyfb> what abount in wine?
[16:40] <Alan_M> xidryck: ubuntu is linux..and linux doesnt have any virii associated with it, so the simple and short answer is no :)
[16:40] <Joker_-_> abhi_: have you googled like I told you to?
[16:40] <xidryck> thanks all
[16:40] <cr0w> Alan_M i download the theme and I do not know what I must make.
[16:41] <Alan_M> cr0w: can you please take this back out of private message so that we can all contribute? thank you :)
[16:41] <Joker_-_> abhi_: whats your macbook type?
[16:41] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : i will check it latter
[16:41] <leftyfb> xidryck: windows virus's are VERY difficult, or impossible to run in wine. People have tried.
[16:41] <chubby_sby> how active samba in ubuntu 8.40
[16:41] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : i am going to buy
[16:41] <Joker_-_> abhi_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
[16:41] <Alan_M> cr0w, are you on Ubuntu hardy herron?
[16:41] <Joker_-_> abhi_: first hit
[16:41] <cr0w> yes
[16:41] <Darkchef> hey all, anyone know how to limit the cpu usage ?? its making my laptop very hot ??
[16:41] <xidryck> leftyfb> so wine is safe
[16:42] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I simply typed: macbook ubuntu howto: 62 000 hits in 0,24 secs...
[16:42] <Joker_-_> talk about efficiency
[16:42] <Joker_-_> I bet google doesnt work on  Windows :)
[16:42] <Darkchef> abhi_: try google first
[16:42] <Darkchef> joker _-_ - it does
[16:42] <Windsurfer619> leftyfb: Wine isn't "Safe". You can still infect things or delete your system running something with wine.
[16:42] <Joker_-_> Darkchef: wow, stunning :P
[16:42] <Sudowman> Darkchef: in /etc/limits.conf
[16:43] <xidryck> sudowman> how do i configure a firewall in ubuntu?
[16:43] <bsrat> have machine 64bit amd, 4gb. is it better to install 32bit or 64bit to run my 32-bit fps games
[16:43] <Darkchef> gksudo /etc/limits.conf ?
[16:43] <Alan_M> cr0w: you can follow these steps, go to the system tab...go to the preferences submenu item...then move your mouse over to the Appearance menu item, click on that....then drag the theme that you got from the website to the little list of themes..and it should be all set.
[16:43] <leftyfb> Windsurfer619: I never said wine was "safe". But for the most part, people have tried to run some of the most dangerous virus's in wine and failed.
[16:44] <winboard> hallo
[16:44] <Sudowman> xidryck: To configure a firewall manually you should use iptables, see man iptables, but I think there are easier ways to do it with a gui
[16:44] <Sudowman> !firewall
[16:44] <Windsurfer619> leftyfb: That may be true, but the ultimate goal of wine is to get those viruses to actually work the same as on windows.
[16:44] <leftyfb> Windsurfer619 / xidryck : regardless, wine for the most part should be used to those 1 or 2 windows applications you can't live without. Not for installing crapware you found on limewire or some xxxgirls.exe someone sent you over IM.
[16:44] <leftyfb> Windsurfer619: incorrect
[16:45] <Darkchef> Sudowman - that conf file is empty
[16:45] <Sudowman> Darkchef: see man limits.conf
[16:45] <Windsurfer619> leftyfb: Viruses rely on bugs and quirks in the windows API. Wine is trying to replicate those bugs and quirks.
[16:45] <Darkchef> ok
[16:45] <Joker_-_> well, I'm off, be back later
[16:46] <xidryck> leftyfb> okay. i just used it to play warcraft III but when i run warcraft all i see is black screen
[16:46] <leftyfb> wine is not trying to emulate any bugs or quirks. Nor is it trying to emulate most of the windows api that most applications do not need to run.
[16:46] <Darkchef> sudowman : ok ill give it a go
[16:46] <Sudowman> Darkchef: my bad  it is   /etc/security/limits.conf
[16:46] <leftyfb> xidryck: that's not a virus.
[16:46] <vaibhav> what is happening here
[16:46] <vaibhav> anyone here
[16:46] <vaibhav> i want help
[16:46] <bazhang> vaibhav, ubuntu support
[16:46] <xidryck> sudowman> i will try help. there is something in there that says about installing firewall
[16:47] <vaibhav> hi
[16:47] <Raheem> vaibhav, many here.. state ur issue please
[16:47] <vaibhav> i am using ubuntu 5.10
[16:47] <xidryck> leftyfb> i know. i just don't know how to configure it right
[16:47] <bazhang> vaibhav, that is eol
[16:47] <vaibhav> i am unable to install packages using apt-get
[16:47] <vaibhav> please help
[16:47] <DRebellion> vaibhav, 5.10 is no longer supported
[16:47] <DRebellion> you should upgrade
[16:47] <bazhang> vaibhav, there are no more repos for that
[16:47] <vaibhav> how to upgrade
[16:47] <leftyfb> xidryck: did you look on winehq.org ?
[16:47] <NeoGeo64> the beauty of linux is that you dont have to upgrade if you dont want to
[16:47] <leftyfb> vaibhav: what error do you get?
[16:48] <bazhang> vaibhav, back up and fresh install
[16:48] <DRebellion> vaibhav, download the 8.04 cd from ubuntu.com and install
[16:48] <xidryck> leftyfb> not yet
[16:48] <vaibhav> ok
[16:48] <vaibhav> i am thinking of installing debian
[16:48] <xidryck> leftyfb> maybe later. ill set up a firewall for now
[16:48] <vaibhav> fed up of this
[16:48] <vaibhav> ubuntu
[16:48] <vaibhav> 5.10
[16:48] <bazhang> #debian for that vaibhav
[16:48] <xidryck> vaibhav> what is devian?
[16:48] <phillipedison189> debian is harder to install..
[16:49] <vaibhav> oh
[16:49] <leftyfb> xidryck: is this ubuntu machine a laptop or desktop?
[16:49] <Raheem> vaibhav, u r free to install what u want ..
[16:49] <DRebellion> vaibhav, you're using a release that's nearly 3 years old. The latest one is *much* improved.
[16:49] <vaibhav> yeah
[16:49] <xidryck> leftyfb> laptop
[16:49] <vaibhav> ok
[16:49] <vaibhav> i will upgrade
[16:49] <leftyfb> phillipedison189: debian is not harder to install than ubuntu? It's almost exactly the same installation (txt)
[16:49] <xidryck> leftyfb> toshiba satellite
[16:49] <Darkchef> sudowman : this conf file doesnt help at all
[16:50] <phillipedison189> ah, have things changed since I tried to install sarge?...
[16:50] <DRebellion> phillipedison189, this is #ubuntu not #debian
[16:50] <DRebellion> oh, right, earlier message
[16:50] <DRebellion> ;)
[16:51] <carl> For those of you who work in the IT Department of your respective companies, I was wondering what software you use to manage your hardware(whats in each machine/etc)?
[16:51] <regeya> manage?  bwahahahaha
[16:52]  * regeya notes that at his office, it's it management via anarchy
[16:52] <gregory> hello! anyone can help me installing PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx
[16:52] <carl> lol, ya that is how it is currently here.. I am attempting to straighten it all out
[16:52] <regeya> basically the unofficial official policy is that people get to do whatever they want, and they yell at me when their computers stop working.  any attempts on my part to rein that in are met with "b-b-but you're giving him too much power!!!"
[16:53] <Armored_Azrae1> carl: Not an IT dept, but for our cluster, we have different machine "classes" organized by hardware, with a set of mac addresses per class. This allows us to control each class of machines separately. The closest thing we use to an accounting system for them though is the records of what MAC addresses are currently on the control lists for each of them, and location queries over SNMP (etc controlled by cfengine).
[16:53] <regeya> I'm tempted (since it's a mac shop) to use radmind, but I don't know how well that owuld work with newer machines
[16:54] <Sudowman> Darkchef: its where you can put limits on how much users are using the cpu, I thought that's what you wanted
[16:54] <Armored_Azrae1> carl: Data is kept in python pickles at the moment, as management of these machines is infrequent.  Not particularly robust if you have many different kinds of systems (i.e. if most systems would be a different class) but in our environment, and many others, people have only 5 or 6 kinds of computers, and just mass numbers of them.
[16:54] <regeya> and I have various things shared between machines I can "restore" via rsync, as well as rsync'ed "snapshots" (actually, hardlinked to conserve space) of our fileserver
[16:55] <regeya> read the manpage of rsync; iirc the script I have on the ubuntu box is about a dozen lines, most of it to name dirs and purge old copies
[16:56] <regeya> whoops, that last line, s/ubuntu/debian/
[16:56] <regeya> since it's a ppc machine and ubuntu doesn't acknowledge ppc machines anymore (hey, guys, there are still a lot of ppc machines out here)
[16:56] <jeffwheeler> I'm running two 20" Dell monitors powered by a Nvidia graphics card, one with DVI and one with, uh, whatever the old ones are called, hehe. I've never got them to work beyond a clone, so I always just turn one of them off.
[16:56] <gabunga> hi all
[16:57] <gabunga> i am trying to deinstall exim4 from my ubuntu
[16:57] <Thoku> Hi Jeffwheeler
[16:57] <jeffwheeler> The primary monitor just turned to almost solid black with random flashes, and said "Auto-Adjust in Progress." I can see the mouse clearly, but nothing else is visible at all.
[16:57] <gabunga> but got a lot of trouble
[16:58] <jeffwheeler> It no longer says Auto-Adjust in Progress (it only did for a few seconds), but still displays random flashing gray on top of the black screen.
[16:58] <Thoku> Jeffwheeler: If you enable xinerama in the nvidia gui options set up you can get both screens working. I have a 19" and a 15" set up working together
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> I normslly use twinview - and DISABLE xinerama.
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> and i use my 2 monitors as one wide desktop
[16:58] <jeffwheeler> Oh, I'm sorry; I'm insane. I'm running an ATI card.
[16:58] <gabunga> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29338/
[16:59] <xidryck> anyone knows how to  add a universe repository? so i can install firestarter
[16:59] <gabunga> hier is my paste
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> !repos
[16:59] <gabunga> Dr_willis do you mean me?
[16:59] <Thoku> jeffwheeler: ah ok.
[16:59] <fwaokda> How do i assing a dynamic ip address to a device that is appearing in my wireless notification applet?
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> gabunga,  no   - i got no idea what exim4 even is., :)
[17:00] <kevinO> does anyone have any idea why my login screen and desktop are running at different resolutions?
[17:00] <gabunga> :-(
[17:00] <bastid_raZor> Dr_Willis; i have the exact same setup.. i prefer it over xinerama.. twinview gives you a bit more working space
[17:00] <gabunga> i am just trying to remove it
[17:00] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, your xorg.conf is not correct
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  users can have their own custome res.
[17:00] <KenBW2> kevinO: good question - i've noticed that
[17:01] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: i thought resolution was managed by xorg.conf - a system-wide config file?
[17:01] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, the resolution information is no longer held in xorg.conf
[17:01] <ingenieroariel> Hello everyone, I would like to know how to add a repository to my source.list, but only use it for an specific set of packages (5 or so)
[17:01] <ingenieroariel>  I have linux mint and would like to add some gis packages from debian lenny
[17:01] <ingenieroariel>  but just downloading the .deb's would not be so future proof
[17:01] <ingenieroariel>  and I don't want either to get lenny packages conflicting with mint packages (a custom vesion of ubuntu
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> !info xandr
[17:01] <FloodBot1> ingenieroariel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:01] <Thoku> Dr_Willis: xinerama is better imo. You can pass the windows between the 2 screens which twinview doesn't let you do.
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  tht defines what red.
[17:01] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, then why did changing my xorg.conf fix that problem for me
[17:01] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: so what's the dofference?
[17:01] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, i have no idea, maybe you had gutsy then upgraded?
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> Thoku,  Huh? i drag my windows from one monitor to the 2nd all the time with twinview. Twinview works MUCH better for me then xinerama
[17:02] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, no. clean ubuntu 8.04 install
[17:02] <bastid_raZor> Thoku; you are wrong, i drag them all the time.
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  the user can pick what res he wants, from the allowed res;s
[17:02] <gregory> hello! anyone can help me installing PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx
[17:02] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: ah
[17:02] <Thoku> Dr_Willis: I end up with 2 xsessions, 1 for each screen.
[17:02] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, I didnt mean i want my own custom res, i want them to be the same, how do i do that?
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> Thoku,  you have is set up tht way then. thats one way to do it.,
[17:02] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, i went under "screen" and got rid of all of the resolutions except the one i wanted on my desktop and that forced the login screen to take it as well
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  no idea. could define only ONe rex i xorg.conf i guess.
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> How do  I add an entry to sources.list that is only used for a smallset of packages (i.e. a couple of gis packages from debian lenny on a ubuntu 8.04 box)
[17:03] <hiptobecubic> because there were no other choices
[17:03] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: so where's the config file for users' reses?
[17:03] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, i dont even have that section.
[17:03] <gabunga> HALLO ALL
[17:03] <Thoku> Dr_Willis: Ah ok
[17:03] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, mint?
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> yup
[17:03] <gabunga> please helo
[17:03] <Agion> hi, can anyone help me getting my flash work??
[17:03] <gabunga> i mean help
[17:03] <gabunga> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29338/
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  kde and gnome both have a config tool for tht i thought. or you can use the various xrandr tools to set the res on the fly as a user.
[17:03] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, mint is not supported here
[17:03] <gabunga> i cannot remove exim4
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> In fact I want to do that on ubuntu jeos too
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> :D
[17:03] <Alan_M> is the guy with the theme problems here still that i was helping a few minutes ago?
[17:04] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, you don't have a section called 'Screen' ?
[17:04] <staj> help
[17:04] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: yea but i assume theres a config file somewhere?
[17:04] <ingenieroariel> so I could try any suggestion there
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  proberly is a setting somewhere.. of course.
[17:04] <Alan_M> if he's still here im sorry....my internet connection just died..and i couldnt get it back for a while.
[17:04] <kevinO> KenBW2, you are having the same problem as me? at the login screen the display is off to the left or right, an auto adjust on the monitor fixes it, but once you login, the display is off again
[17:05] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: so is that the difference between Screens and Graphics and Screen Resolution config apps?
[17:05] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, what you want is apt-pinning; not for the faint of heart and highly unrecommended
[17:05] <staj> hi guys
[17:05] <staj> join endian efw please
[17:05] <bazhang> staj, dont spam
[17:05] <Alan_M> staj, please dont spam
[17:05] <staj> ok
[17:05] <staj> sorry
[17:05] <KenBW2> kevinO: no, just that the login screen is at 1024x768 and when i login its 1152x864
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  i use the nvidia-0settings tool to set the system wide res, then the users can select their own using the other tools.
[17:05] <bazhang> !pinning
[17:05] <staj> i am need one channel firewall efw
[17:06] <staj> understand?
[17:06] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, ^^
[17:06] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: ah. thanks :)
[17:06] <bazhang> staj, ufw?
[17:06] <staj> no, efw endian
[17:06] <ingenieroariel> oh, ok, it is only for 5 packages and I know they won't clash with the rest because no other one depends on them (i.e. django trunk version is gonna use them)

[17:07] <KenBW2> eshat: try adding them to fstab
[17:07] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, also ditch mint and get the real deal www.ubuntu.com
[17:07] <ingenieroariel> oh,
[17:07] <regeya> oh no no no
[17:08] <eshat> KenBW2: that's what I do NOT want to do

[17:08] <regeya> eshat...I'm sorry I don't remember off the top of my hed, but somewhere in settings is settings for the gnome volume manager...maybe removable media?
[17:08] <Agion> hi, can anyone help me getting my flash work??
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> Zunde,  not doable under gnome I belive... other desktops/windowmanagers can have tht feature.
[17:08] <Raheem> ingenieroariel, well, in my opinion, mint is nothing but Ubuntu, with some apps pre-installed .. you can always get them in ubuntu though
[17:08] <KenBW2> Agion: whats the problem with it

[17:09] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, well thtat's certainly interesting. Where ARE your resolution settings if they aren't in xorg.conf?

[17:09] <leftyfb> someone kick the troll/spammer please
[17:09] <KenBW2> regeya: i think he means at startup
[17:09] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, thats what i do not know
[17:09] <regeya> whee.
[17:09] <Alan_M> I have a problem myself, I have a ricoh 5 in 1 memory card reader....its not auto mounting...i tried to put in a memory card to the slot..and its not even recognizing that the card is there...suggestions?
[17:09] <ingenieroariel> I have tried a couple of times, to get ubuntu pimped up, but mint does a better job out of the box
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  the new  'auto configuring-minimal' X system now - have a very minimal xorg.conf :) and it can cause troubles.
[17:09] <ingenieroariel> I still use ubuntu server and ubuntu jeos
[17:09] <ingenieroariel> :D
[17:09] <eshat> anzone else knowing how ubuntu mounts USB Sticks automaticlly ???
[17:10] <leftyfb> Agion: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree --reinstall
[17:10] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, but that is offtopic here and not supported
[17:10] <KenBW2> eshat: what do you mean by automatically
[17:10] <Armored_Azrae1> eshat: As far as I can tell it watches the HAL.
[17:10] <Agion> ok, I'll try it
[17:10] <ingenieroariel> :P, thanks a lot bazhang for your pointer
[17:10] <regeya> eshat: is that what you mean?  at startup?  then yes, if you're using it at startup and just keep it plugged in, then yes, follow that advice; otherwise, hopefully someone sitting in front of their ubuntu box please tell eshat where to look
[17:10] <ingenieroariel> :D
[17:10] <bazhang> np
[17:10] <Armored_Azrae1> px2: Check the HTTP headers on the response to a request.
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> ingenieroariel,  im using mint on a lot of mahines also.. :)  I just keep quiet about it. :P
[17:10] <ingenieroariel> shh
[17:11] <regeya> KenBW2: on my home machine, here's the steps I go to mount a USB disk:  1.) plug it in.  2.) wait
[17:11] <Sinnerman> hi. im using cryptkeeper and encfs. is it possible to get encfs to default to AES whilst using cryptkeeper?
[17:11] <eshat> Armored_Azrae1: I restarted hal, no success
[17:11] <hiptobecubic> what exactly is the idea behind mint? just prettier?
[17:11] <KenBW2> regeya: what if he/she wants it mounted at boot?
[17:11] <Alan_M> !ot | hiptobecubic
[17:11] <Armored_Azrae1> eshat: Plug it in, check dmesg
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> hiptobecubic,  it has some packags installed/setup by default that ubuntu cant/wont do. Check homepage for more
[17:11] <Armored_Azrae1> (see if there's a plug event registered on udev)
[17:11]  * ingenieroariel sits quiet with a tiny smile and a guilty look
[17:11] <Agion> KenBW2: the problem is that it flashes black in like 3-5 times a sec....
[17:11] <kevinO> ok, so where can i find some normal screen resolution values to put in my xorg.conf.
[17:12] <eshat> Armored_Azrae1: dmesg find's the device and there are no problems
[17:12] <bazhang> lets take mint chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[17:12] <regeya> KenBW2: hey eshat, are you wanting it to mount at boot?  if so, follow KenBW2's advice, otherwise...
[17:12] <KenBW2> regeya: oh yea
[17:12] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, have you tried using nvidia-settings?
[17:12] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, i dont have a nvidia chipset or video card
[17:12] <Armored_Azrae1> eshat: Sorry then--I know about udev, and that HAL triggers the plug, but that's about it :(
[17:12] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, what do you use?
[17:13] <regeya> KenBW2: if I want to mount a disk at boot, then absolutely, I'll ad the filesystem's uuid to fstab.  but I don't make a habit of it on removable media, because it's removable
[17:13] <gregory> hello! anyone can help me installing/configuring PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx
[17:13] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, inel 945
[17:13] <kevinO> intel*
[17:13] <alicev> how can i knightonline playing
[17:13] <KenBW2> regeya: yea, i use it for my SD card on my eeepc
[17:13] <regeya> KenBW2: and therefore hal and gnome-volume-manager just handle it :->
[17:13] <bazhang> alicev, native linux or via wine
[17:13] <eshat> Armored_Azrae1: ahhh It works, just had to restart udev, thanks a lot
[17:13] <alicev> wine
[17:13] <kevinO> my mainboard is an intel d945gclf
[17:13] <duallain> I have a ubuntu computer setup to serve some webpages with apache/mysql/php and the like.  It's working fine, but to access it I type in http://<IP_ADDRESS>, is there a way to make it so I type in http://blacksun or something to get to it instead?  (I can't figure out how to search for how to do it, a tutorial or a few search terms would be great)
[17:14] <regeya> if you like that behavior and don't use gnome/kde, ivman work fine in that regard as well
[17:14] <alicev> i hav wine
[17:14] <bazhang> alicev, check appdb and #winehq
[17:14] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, perhaps something like this will give you somwhere to start from? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=670645
[17:14] <bazhang> !appdb | alicev
[17:14] <Alan_M> dullain you can edit /etc/hosts file to point <IP_ADDRESS> to http://blacksun :)
[17:14] <FibonacciGold> duallain: You want to edit the file located at /etc/hosts
[17:14] <alicev> tx
[17:15] <alicev> bazhang,  thanks
[17:15] <bazhang> np
[17:15] <fwaokda> is there anyway to have a terminal window embedded into my desktop?
[17:16] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, nope that doesnt work either, i have even tried to deleteing the xorg file altogether then regenerating it with dexconf.
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> fwaokda,  theres some tricks to do that. Or thers some Hit F12 and have one popdown tools also.
[17:16] <FibonacciGold> fwaokda: You could try something like yakuake
[17:16] <kevinO> kevinO, but it just does the auto value crap
[17:16] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, i'm afraid we're beyond my scope of knowledge here
[17:16] <kevinO> i need to manually enter in all of the available screeens i guess
[17:16] <fwaokda> FibonacciGold, thanks
[17:17] <kevinO> can i see someones xorg, a relatively normal one?
[17:17] <bazhang> fwaokda, for gnome see tilda
[17:17] <KenBW2> Does anyone know of a Terminal type thing you can have in the gnome-panel?
[17:17] <fwaokda> bazhang, i was using tilda but i want one that continually runs on my desktop below all other windows
[17:17] <Sina> I have a Nvidia GeForce Go 8600M GT graphic card and I can't install the driver properly, does anyone know what should I do?
[17:17] <gangsterlicious> i did a debootsrap and i dont' have "man" command. which pkg contains that?
[17:18] <bazhang> yakuake is kde fwaokda similar to tilda
[17:18] <hiptobecubic> fwaokda, if you hot-key the terminal to something easy to do you might be alright not having it embedded. you'd have to minimize windows to get to it anyway. I use alt-gr+space to open a terminal window and i don't even have to move my hands from the homerow
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  clarify tht a bit? :)  Theres lots of panel applets in the repos not installed by default, and at gnome-look.org
[17:18] <ShinjinAkage> I need a program for virtual cd's and dvd's so I can run a .bin file without burning. Can anyone suggest one?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> ShinjinAkage,  'run' as in run a game with wine from it?
[17:18] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: something that i can type quick commands into without loading up a Terminal
[17:19] <Sina> @ ShinjinAkage use fuseiso
[17:19] <ShinjinAkage> Dr_Willis: Run as in install a program.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  dont like alt-f2 eh?
[17:19] <Sina> I have a Nvidia GeForce Go 8600M GT graphic card and I can't install the driver properly, does anyone know what should I do?
[17:19] <dml> what
[17:19] <ShinjinAkage> Sina: Thanks
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> ShinjinAkage,  a linux app? the fuseiso tool can mount bin and other formats i hear. but dont expect any game/copy protectiion suff to worrk. If its for a game
[17:19] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: i know but it seems a waste for just cp /home/kenneth/file /home/kenneth/file.bak or whatever
[17:20] <duallain> After I change /etc/hosts do I need to restart anything?  And how do I do that?
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  i alwas have a few terms open. :) so its never a issue for me
[17:20] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:20] <Alan_M> dullain i would suggest you do so, log out and back in, and it all should be fixed.
[17:20] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: yea but theyre inevitable doing something at the time
[17:20] <Nacht> Hello, I'm new to using Ubuntu, and I'm attempting to install my wireless internet adapter.  The problem is that I can't seem to get Ubuntu to run the CD normally as opposed to opening a folder with all its files
[17:21] <Nacht> I'm somewhat confused as to how to correct this issue, or what I am supposed to do form there
[17:21] <thorny_sun> help!! pleeeze!!  so i added my user to a new group using 'usermod -G newgroup', only that dropped all my other groups (didn't realize that), including the one that lets me have sudo access- and now i have no way to do anything that requires root access..  how do i get it back?
[17:21] <KenBW2> Nacht: the CD you have will be for Windows only
[17:21] <Nacht> II see
[17:21] <VileTimes> Nacht: Keep that CD handy. You might need it for ndiswrapper.
[17:21] <Nacht> Well, thank you KenBW2
[17:21] <KenBW2> Nacht: you can use ndiswrapper to run Windows drivers though
[17:22] <eie> hi
[17:22] <eie> any good site to learn ubuntu
[17:22] <Nacht> Ah, where do I get that?
[17:22] <KenBW2> Nacht: are you familiar with how to install things in ubuntu?
[17:22] <Nacht> No, this is my first time using Ubuntu
[17:23] <bazhang> !docs | eie
[17:23] <Nacht> I've been unable to procure a copy of a Windows OS, so a friend reccomended I try Ubuntu
[17:23] <jatt> big bang software development
[17:23] <KenBW2> Nacht: Welcome to Ubuntu :) the GUI way is to go to Applications > Add/Remove... > type in ndiswrapper and tick the box. Then click Apply at the bottom
[17:23] <eie> bazhang: thanks
[17:23] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: hehe  try passing  init=/bin/bash  as boot params to the kernel
[17:23] <VileTimes> Nacht: You can do a search of ndiswrapper-gtk and install it with a quick sudo aptitude install <package-name>
[17:24] <Nacht> Do I need to be connected to the internet to do that though?
[17:24] <TtyS2> where can i find my trashcan
[17:24] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh yea, that might help
[17:24] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:24] <Nacht> That's the problem
[17:24] <VileTimes> Yes, unfortunately. It's the old, annoying catch 22.
[17:24] <bazhang> !trash | TtyS2
[17:24] <KenBW2> Nacht: do you know anyone else who uses Ubuntu?
[17:25] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: what do you mean exactly-- i'm still a noob
[17:25] <Nacht> I can't connect to the internet on that computer without installing the router, which I need to connect to the internet
[17:25] <TtyS2> thanks
[17:25] <Nacht> Yes, but he's out of town for the next week
[17:25] <KenBW2> Nacht: ah
[17:25] <KenBW2> Nacht: do you have access to the internet at all?
[17:25] <KenBW2> Nacht: on any PC?
[17:25] <VileTimes> Do you have a usb key handy? You could download all of the necessary .deb files and install with dpkg
[17:25] <Nacht> Is there a place I could get the files to burn to a disk and open on my computer?
[17:25] <Nacht> Not on that computer
[17:26] <Nacht> On my laptop I have internet accss
[17:26] <bazhang> packages.ubuntu.com
[17:26] <Nacht> I have a usb drive
[17:26] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: when you boot up, do you have a grub screen that gives you the option of changing the parameters to the kernel before booting, or does it boot straight into ubuntu ?
[17:26] <KenBW2> Nacht: right, go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[17:26] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: i do have a grub screen
[17:26] <KenBW2> Nacht: please prepend the message with the username of the person youre talking to
[17:26] <VileTimes> Nacht: Download the .deb files you need and install them from the console by typing: sudo dpkg -i <package-name>.deb
[17:27] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:27] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: what will init=/bin/bash do? and how do i "pass" that as a paramter
[17:27] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, do you know where the login screen gets its res info from (if not on auto) was it xorg.conf?
[17:27] <SebNaitsabes> puller:  right click and then add to panel
[17:27] <yassine_> Hello
[17:27] <kevinO> Hi
[17:27] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Alright
[17:27] <KenBW2> go to erm
[17:27] <fwaokda> I'm trying to sync my phone with evolution.  I was told I need to give it an ip address/set it up as a network interface.  Does anyone know how to do this?
[17:27] <yassine_> Please,how do i install Skype for Ubuntu ?
[17:28] <KenBW2> Nacht: just a sec, ill boot up my ubuntu machine
[17:28] <bazhang> !skype | yassine_
[17:28] <puller> SebNaitsabes: but i dont know what to add
[17:28] <kevinO> fwaokda, you using bluetooth?
[17:28] <fwaokda> kevinO, nah its through usb
[17:28] <VileTimes> yassine: You need to go to Skype's site and install the .deb file they provide.
[17:28] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  I got a nice tutorial that covers insatlling Skype,  it's for Kubuntu, but  you can figure out from that for Ubuntu :)
[17:28] <kevinO> fwaokda, are you able to set an ip address on your phone?
[17:28] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: you should be able to press a letter ( I think it is e ) to edit the params. Add init=/bin/bash to the line with the kernel, and it should boot into a root shell
[17:28] <fwaokda> kevinO, idk
[17:28] <yassine_> .dec work like .exe under linux ?
[17:29] <gangsterlicious> !!
[17:29] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: if it doesn't work there are other ways to get in so dont worry
[17:29] <kevinO> fwa type of phone please
[17:29] <fwaokda> kevinO, its showing up in the list of network adapters when i click on my wireless applet atm
[17:29] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: do all these methods require me remembering my root password?
[17:29] <bazhang> yassine_, somewhat analogous
[17:29] <fwaokda> kevinO, HTC Touch/Elf
[17:29] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  yes DEB is like instead of .exe or .msi
 alright thanks
[17:29] <yassine_> :)
[17:29] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: no, you dont need your passwd if you have physical access to the machine
[17:30] <jadams__> I'm having problems with pidgin.  It will frequently minimize itself and get bogged down (right now the window's greyed out, thinking).  I'm running a quad core system with 3G ram and no usage, so I don't know why it's hanging up
[17:30] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: ok-- good-- cuz i don't remember it
[17:30] <jadams__> but this happens a lot
[17:30] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: i'll try it-- see ya back here in a bit
[17:30] <KenBW2> Nacht: ok, go to File > Generate package download script
[17:30] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:30] <level09> i've just installed lamp, where can I find my *actual* php files ?
[17:31] <KenBW2> Nacht: and save it to somewhere
[17:31] <KenBW2> level09: /var/www/
[17:31] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-kubuntu-8.04-lts  later on Skype is done
[17:31] <level09> thanks
[17:31] <kevinO> fwaokda, you probably can set  the ip address on the htc, being that its showing up in your network adapters, its probably got a dhcp ip address already.
[17:31] <th0r> jadams__, are you sure it is pidgin...maybe your connection is failing and pidgin goes offline, then has to reconnect to come back to life
[17:31] <jadams__> th0r, pidgin's window isn't drawing
[17:31] <jadams__> th0r, and my internet connection isn't dropping
[17:31] <kevinO> fwaokda, can you see the ip address assigned to the htc from your adapters menu?
 It's ok i'm downloadinf it thanks
[17:31] <yassine_> :)
[17:32] <puller> i lost my wifi can somone help me get it back online?
[17:32] <fwaokda> kevinO, how do i do that?
[17:32] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Alright
[17:32] <level09> KenBW2: its not here :( , any other places to look for ?
[17:32] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_: ,but sure come to think of it it should just be download the DEB and install
[17:32] <kevinO> fwaokda, you said you can see the htc listed in your adapters right?
[17:32] <KenBW2> Nacht: if you know someone else with a working internet connection on Linux then you can use that easily
[17:32] <fwaokda> kevinO, yes
[17:32] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  I know of another program that may be better than Skype for you
[17:32] <KenBW2> Nacht: can you not plug your Ubuntu PC into ethernet?
[17:32] <banjo> spoiler from irc.trollin.org #arab: Batman is portrayed early in the movie as a nutcase and is saught to be arrested.  Harvey dent reveals the identity of batman as HIMSELF (untrue).. batman kills joker.. gordon uses a huge axe to smash the batman light symbol (the dark knight)
 yes im downloading from that link you just gave it yo me
[17:33] <kevinO> fwaokda, click on it and try to see of it displays an ip address

[17:33] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Correct
[17:33] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_: of this other program
 what is it ?
[17:33] <KenBW2> Nacht: do that then :)

[17:33] <Nacht> KenBW2 - You asked if I cannot plug it in
[17:33] <level09> KenBW2: yes
[17:33] <level09> I only have apche-default dir in there
[17:34] <puller> can somone help me get wifi back and workign in ubuntu, it just randomly stopped
[17:34] <KenBW2> level09: then you put your PHP files in there
[17:34] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh you mean it's not possible to plug it into ethernet?
[17:34] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Right
[17:34] <level09> KenBW2: no I mean, when I used apt-get to install php, where did that install the files ?
[17:34] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  ,but my parants used in Windows, but now this phone goes straight into the net without needing PC on.  anyway  http://www.voipcheap.com/en/index.html
[17:34] <fwaokda> kevinO, i see it listed in 'ifconifg'
[17:34] <KenBW2> level09: which files?
[17:35] <level09> I mean the location of actual PHP package
[17:35] <kevinO> fwaokda, you see the vendor name of the phone in if config?
[17:35] <fwaokda> kevinO, this is listed - 'inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>'
[17:35] <KenBW2> Nacht: right, in that script you just saved it should have something like "wget /location/of/file" ok?
[17:35] <KenBW2> level09: oh right, erm
[17:35] <kevinO> fwaokda, is that eth0?
[17:36] <fwaokda> kevinO, no but i was told if I do this... ' /sbin/ifconfig -a | grep 80:00:60:0f:e8:00  | cut -d " " -f 1' that it would tell me which one it was
[17:36] <fwaokda> kevinO, no eth0 is another

[17:36] <sns> I am using KDE and I want to make it so that the screen doesn't turn off at idling, so that screensaver always is on. How can this be acheived?
[17:36] <KenBW2> Nacht: in a text editor
[17:36] <level09> KenBW2: thansk :)
[17:37] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: I tried it-- my grub bootup had four lines-- i put "init=/bin/bash" on the fifth line, but booting up i didn't notice anything different, and it seems i still have the same problem-- did i do it right?
[17:37] <kevinO> fwaokda, that command is beyond my scope, nut it looks like it will tell you something, try it :)
[17:37] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, did u try this http://www.intervoip.com ? they have the best deal on net. . can be configured using ekiga
 Nooo im under ubuntu not debian
[17:37] <fwaokda> kevinO, haha i already did try it :P thats what told me it was eth1
[17:37] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem:  nope didn't know about that one,  and I don't use this kind of thing personalley
[17:37] <Nacht> KenBW2 - All it's displaying is #!/bin/sh
[17:37] <kevinO> fwaokda, im just trying to make sure your htc is actually being recognized
[17:37] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: did I message you no?  so what are you refering to?
[17:37] <kevinO> ok so its eth1
[17:38] <pmmadog> hi were would you enter a splash screen aplication ?
[17:38] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh. you might have it installed alr... oh i know why

[17:38] <Nacht> Ok
 im yassine
[17:38] <Nece228> how about ati opensource driver?
[17:38] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Alright
[17:38] <kevinO> fwaokda, the ip address that eth1 lists, is that on the same subnet as your other devices?
[17:38] <Nece228> does it supports opengl and compiz?
[17:38] <Innopeor> Hi, someone know if exist a valid alternative to GtkRadiant that runs natively (no wine, crossover or cedega) on Linux?
[17:39] <sns> I am using KDE and I want to make it so that the screen doesn't turn off at idling, so that screensaver always is on. How can this be acheived? I am having two users and I wonder which one controls these settings
[17:39] <KenBW2> Nacht: search for "ndisgtk" and tick to install that
[17:39] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: oh another name
[17:39] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: I think your meant to put it on the line with the kernel, so you should have a line that looks something like this:  kernel   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-686 root=/dev/hdb1 ro vga=795  init=/bin/bash
[17:39] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: well did you see both links?
[17:39] <fwaokda> kevinO, yes
[17:39] <x_hunter> nop
[17:39] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: oh-- ok-- i'll try that
[17:39] <Raheem> sns, power saving options
[17:39] <KenBW2> Nacht: click the tick box next to it > Mark for installation
[17:39] <x_hunter> only the first link
[17:39] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Nothing is turning up
[17:40] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: yep voipcheap.com and
[17:40] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh yea, thats right it wont without internet
[17:40] <KenBW2> hmmm
[17:40] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter:  [17:37] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, did u try this http://www.intervoip.com ? they have the best deal on net. . can be configured using ekiga
[17:40] <Nacht> KenBW2 - I seem to be trapped in the loop of needing the internet to get the internet
[17:40] <KenBW2> Nacht: indeed :)
[17:40] <KenBW2> Nacht: i have another idea
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> Nacht,  that a problem when using wireless only.
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> Nacht,  ive gotten stuck in simaler loops with windows in the past also. :)
[17:41] <KenBW2> Nacht: ok, ill type out the URLs of the files you need rto download
[17:41] <Nacht> Dr_Willis - A problem inherent to my financial state of affairs
[17:41] <iQwerty> Simple question: How to display the text in a textfile in a terminal window? I don't mean display with nano or vi, but just print out the contents and returning to a prompt
[17:41] <fwaokda> kevinO, i put it in roaming mode
[17:41] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Alright
[17:42] <arvind_khadri> iQwerty, cat filename
[17:42] <bazhang> cat iQwerty
[17:42] <Nacht> KenBW2 - I can burn these and then open them up to install them on Ubuntu, right?
[17:42] <fwaokda> kevinO, sry i was lagged out there
[17:42] <kevinO> fwaokda, dont
[17:42] <iQwerty> arvind_khardi: Thanks!!!
[17:42] <fwaokda> kevinO, i put it in roaming mode but now its back to dhcp
[17:42] <puller> can somone help me get my wifi back online?
[17:42] <iQwerty> bazhank: Thanks!
[17:42] <arvind_khadri> iQwerty, welcome
[17:42] <kevinO> fwaokda, thats basically the same thing

[17:43] <katad0t1s> #ubuntu-gr
[17:43] <kevinO> fwaokda, i have never done this before so bear with me
[17:43] <fwaokda> kevinO, is it possible that i dont have the driver for this device installed? maybe thats why it isn't noticing it
[17:43] <kevinO> fwaokda, it notices it, we have to setup evolution now
[17:43] <timboy> i'm having an interesting issue: I logged in today and my LAN ip was getting dhcp instead of static even though I have it set for static! this is relevent info from syslog http://pastebin.ca/1079625
[17:44] <fwaokda> umm ok
[17:44] <SebNaitsabes> thorny_sun: looks good
[17:44] <kevinO> fwaokda, go to evolution>edit>synchronize options
[17:44] <fwaokda> there
[17:45] <KenBW2> Nacht: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=18294
[17:45] <iratsu> if i ask ubuntu to use an existing partition for an install, will it clear that partition?
[17:45] <fwaokda> kevinO, i've tried that before but it keeps wanting me to press a hotsync button which this phone doesn't have
[17:46] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: looks good
[17:46] <kevinO> fwaokda, what settings did you use?
[17:46] <KenBW2> Nacht: these are for my PC which is in the UK, and is 32-bit. the UK bit shouldn't matter, but the 32-bit part might
[17:46] <Raheem> yup.. the voice is good
[17:46] <arvind_khadri> iratsu, yup ..use the manual method
[17:46] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: seems like voipcheap to me though
[17:46] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: my Dad would probably be interestd in that to though
[17:46] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: ok-- that just caused the bootup to hang-- had to force computer off and then on to get back here
[17:46] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, depends on the country u want to call
[17:46] <fwaokda> kevinO, a bunch i think that option is only for palm devices... something else just happened now i have a eth1:avahi listed in ifconfig too
[17:46] <KenBW2> Nacht: are you ok with that?
[17:47] <iratsu> arvind_khadri: it won't clear the partition if i do manual? what if i want to do LVM?
[17:47] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: Sweden
[17:47] <timboy> i'm having an interesting issue: I logged in today and my LAN ip was getting dhcp instead of static even though I have it set for static! this is relevent info from syslog http://pastebin.ca/1079625
[17:47] <arvind_khadri> !lvm | iratsu
[17:47] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: ah, ok. Do you have the ubuntu live cd you used to install?
[17:47] <mrts> are there python 2.6 beta debs for ubuntu somewhere?
[17:47] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: yes-- somewhere-- i'll find it
[17:47] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, i guess for sweden, u can have free calls using some other services .. but, the point i wanted to make was, they have sip service, which can be configured using Ekiga ..that's all
[17:47] <Nacht> KenBW2 - I should be
[17:48] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: voipcheap is free for Sweden :)
[17:48] <arvind_khadri> mrts, ask #ubuntu-motu mean while aptitude search it
[17:48] <Raheem> :)
[17:48] <Konichiwa> hi
[17:48] <KenBW2> Nacht: download them on a PC with a nt connection, then transfer them to your Ubuntu machine. Then double click each one in turn
[17:48] <arvind_khadri> !hi | Konichiwa
[17:48] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: got it
[17:48] <abhi_> in "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner" what does it mean by partner . is it safe to add this repo.
[17:48] <Konichiwa> was mach ich wenn "plugin fehler" dasteht
[17:48] <Alejandrito> Hi
[17:48] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop 32bit-- Hardy Heron
[17:49] <KenBW2> Konichiwa: dies ist ein Englishsprachige Kanal. Bitte benutzen Sie #ubuntu-de
[17:49] <arvind_khadri> abhi_, that refers to official ubuntu partners site.. its safe
[17:49] <VileTimes> Mein schleim ist schwartz und klebrig.
[17:49] <SebNaitsabes> !de
[17:49] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: boot into that. From there you will be able to chroot into your ubuntu installation and change the passwd, or you could manually edit out root's passwd. The install cd will have an irc client so you can some here for help on that
[17:50] <abhi_> arvind_khadri, : ok
[17:50] <kevinO> fwaokda, its not looking good for you right now look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4653154, im not saying its impossible, just that there may not be full support for your htc yet
[17:50] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, http://www.voipcheap.com/en/sipp.html they also have sip service .. good news .thank you
[17:50] <fwaokda> kevinO, http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
[17:50] <kevinO> does any one know where the login screen gets its res info from (if not on auto) was it xorg.conf?
[17:50] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: ok-- be back here in a bit..
[17:50] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem:  sip whatever that is, but meaning it will work with Ekiga?
[17:50] <Raheem> yup..
[17:50] <jlewis> Can someone help me please? I have a CD full of essays that I have burned onto a disk for backup. Now, with my fresh install of Ubuntu, when I try and access the folder a icon of a lock appears and I cant save anything in that folder. How do i remove the lock from the files?
[17:51] <arvind_khadri> kevinO, its from xorg.conf
[17:51] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: shame these things are propritary though, but there we go
[17:51] <KenBW2> jlewis: CDs ae read-only
[17:51] <kevinO> fwaokda, have you tried that program?
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  the way i understand it - it checks xorg.conf, it also querrys the card and monitor . and gets what res's the card and monitor can handle.
[17:51] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, we can't force ppl to give us what we want . but, we can always find a way through, though
[17:51] <cr0w_> hi
[17:51] <timboy> i'm having an interesting issue: I logged in today and my LAN ip was getting dhcp instead of static even though I have it set for static! this is relevent info from syslog http://pastebin.ca/1079630
[17:52] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: yep in many cases
[17:52] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: with computer
[17:52] <falstaff> I found a bug in ubuntu and i belive it belongs to compiz-fusion: When i play poker with pokerstars (with wine), the table-window pop up when i have to play something. So I do other things while i play. BUT when i go to another desktop, the window doesnt pop up, it disapears! Completly, so i have to restart the game... Is this a compiz thing or a wine bug?
[17:52] <Raheem> :)
[17:52] <jlewis> KenBW2: Yes, but I have transfered the contents of the CD to my HD. They are all still locked. Thoughts?
[17:52] <arvind_khadri> !bug | falstaff
[17:52] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, do you think that entering in all the res info like the old way will help?
[17:52] <Zyna> Hi folks, I got myself the U50SI1 Notebook and waited over three weeks till it arrived... now it's here and I am having bigtime trouble getting the ubuntu install cd to boot... I tried several bootoptions such as pci=noacpi and noacpi some sequences bring me a bit further past previous errors, but I cannot get it to boot in any way... could someone help please?
[17:52] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff: could be try the game when Compiz is not on
[17:52] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: change the permissions...
[17:52] <KenBW2> jlewis: ah i see
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  thats one way to do it I guess.
[17:53] <jlewis> KenBW2; how do i change the permissions?
[17:53] <cr0w_> exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?!
[17:53] <CanOfRats> hi all..is there an instant messenger for linux that lets u share photos?
[17:53] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: what directory is the locked folder in?
[17:53] <CanOfRats> hi all..is there an instant messenger for linux that lets u share photos?
[17:53] <VileTimes> Zyna: have you tried another distro like DamnSmallLinux yet?
[17:53] <nico_> i want to see my chromosomic chart, how much and where can i take it ?
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> !im | CanOfRats
[17:53] <SebNaitsabes> CanOfRats:  no don't think so, but you can send photos through IM networks in Pidgin and what not of course
[17:53] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, if it then probes the card and monitor and uses those values ill be sol?
[17:53] <falstaff> SebNaitsabes, yes i did this
[17:53] <arvind_khadri> falstaff, first see the logs for any crash report
[17:53] <cr0w_> exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?!
[17:53] <falstaff> sebastien, Pop up doesnt works without compiz
[17:53] <fwaokda> kevinO, yup
[17:54] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  Compiz shoudn't need to be used for anything to do with Wine
[17:54] <kevinO> fwaokda, how did it work
[17:54] <fwaokda> kevinO, im stuck at a point in the instructions as detailed here -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5435658#post5435658
[17:54] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: what folder is the locked folder in?
[17:54] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  interesting to some extent issue, but it's not really Ubuntu so  try #winehq
[17:54] <VileTimes> Zyna: I had an old laptop that didn't like the Ubuntu install CD either. I eventually installed Ubuntu server, and eventually turfed that in favour of Crux Linux
[17:54] <cr0w_> exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?!
[17:54] <jlewis> Odd-rationale; it is in my Home folder under my username.
[17:54] <falstaff> arvind_khadri, the game doesnt crash... compiz also not. The game has multiply window, but only the "poping" window disapears
[17:54] <Zyna> VileTimes, no, you think that would help getting ubuntu unstalled?
[17:54] <snmpee_> Dr_Willis bitlbee is an interesting IM app as well, it uses irc to interface with all those IM networks
[17:54] <Abed> problem with my bluetooth adapter { it isn't enabled}
[17:55] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: ok. pastebin the output of "ls -l ~"
[17:55] <arvind_khadri> falstaff, hmm not sure ask #compiz-fusion
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  try it and see.. i guess
[17:55] <arvind_khadri> !bluetooth  | Abed
[17:55] <VileTimes> Zyna: It might help you narrow down the problem. If your machine can boot up DSL, then it doesn't like the Ubuntu spalsh screen.
[17:55] <nico_> where can i set mac addresse ?? in /etc/network/interfaces ? or in /etc/init.d/network ??
[17:55] <Abed> !bluetooth
[17:55] <Abed> yeah
 yop Skype installed ;)
[17:55] <fwaokda> kevinO, ahhh
[17:55] <snmpee_> somebody recommend a usb or pcmcia bluetooth card for my laptop please
[17:56] <Abed> arvind_khadri, yeah it is not enabled yet
[17:56] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter:  you want to phone real phones? or just computers?
[17:56] <Zyna> VileTimes, I allready tried nosplash, didnt help
[17:56] <Odd-rationale> nico_: do sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
[17:56] <kevinO> fwaokda, in those instructions at the bottom read "If you get an error that no devices are connected to odccm you should probably blacklist ipaq module, by adding
[17:56] <kevinO> blacklist ipaq
[17:56] <kevinO> "
[17:56] <ZeroOP_> hello folks
[17:56] <VileTimes> Zyna: At what point does your machine choke at?
[17:56] <ZeroOP_> anyone use VirtualBox?
[17:56] <Abed> hello ZeroOP_
[17:56] <SebNaitsabes> yes
[17:56] <Odd-rationale> nico_: then "sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:22:11"
[17:56] <SebNaitsabes> yep I use Virtualbox :)
[17:56] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: pastebin?
[17:56] <arvind_khadri> Abed, i have no idea about it.. ask again , someone who knows will help
[17:56] <nico_> Odd-rationale: i know how to change with ifconfig
[17:57] <ZeroOP_> can you help me with a problem i'm having seb?
[17:57] <shashi> I want sudo without password. i have followed the URL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo . But it's not working with Ubuntu 8.08 64-bit. sudo still asking for password. What is the correct way to do this ?
[17:57] <nico_> but i want to set it "ever"
[17:57] <Wicks> snmpee_, out of interest (your name) ... you wouldnt happen to know how to add a new mib to snmp in ubuntu would you? o_0
[17:57] <nico_> even if i reboot
[17:57] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  maybe what's the problem?
[17:57] <fwaokda> kevinO, it's showing up again when i click on the wireless thing it has it listed at the top as... "wired network (High Tech Computer Corp. Generic RNDIS)"
[17:57] <fwaokda> kevinO, you get my last msgs? about the device showing up again
[17:57] <Odd-rationale> !pastebin | jlewis
[17:57] <Abed> problem with enabling bluetooth!
[17:57] <Raheem> ZeroOP_, just state ur prooblem  please
[17:57] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: how do i get pastebin?
[17:57] <Zyna> VileTimes, well, it depends on what options I use... when using pci=noacpi, it crashes while configuring the CD drive
[17:57] <kevinO> yeah, did you get my last message?
[17:57] <fwaokda> kevinO, btw i tried the blacklisting thing and that didn't work
[17:57] <kevinO> ahh
[17:57] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: follow the link ubottu gave you.
[17:57] <falstaff> SebNaitsabes, with compiz it works better for me (pop up is in this case really usefull...)
 Just computers
[17:57] <nico_> Odd-rationale: i wish set it for all boot
[17:58] <x_hunter> Thanks
[17:58] <kevinO> well its fits the problem tho, maybe your not doing it correctly?
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> "VirtualBox kernal driver is not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module......"
[17:58] <Odd-rationale> nico_: ok. let me get you link...
[17:58] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: Skype is fine for that then yeah
[17:58] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  what was it again some game?  and does it use 3D?
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> no, it's before first boot
[17:58] <falstaff> SebNaitsabes, Pokerstars, no 3d
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> oh
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> that wasn't to me
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> lol
[17:58] <KenBW2> jlewis: did you solve the permissions problem?
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> nico_: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transwiki:Changing_MAC_addresses
[17:59] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29349/
[17:59] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  try #winehq
[17:59] <jlewis> KenBW2: still working on it.
[17:59] <stylzP> ZeroOP_, did you compile a kernel modul while installing
[17:59] <nico_> Odd-rationale: thx a lot
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: umm. what is the name of the locked folder?
[17:59] <ZeroOP_> i guess not, but i don't know how, i just used Add/Remove.
[17:59] <arooni> * 3 * * * /home/chasetoys/bin/opendns.sh .........  runs every minute at 3AM in the morning?  to run once every morning at 3AM:  0 3 * * * /home/chasetoys/bin/opendns.sh
[17:59] <ZeroOP_> if that didn't do it, I didn't do it.
[18:00] <digiwhite> Всем привет! :)
[18:00] <jlewis> It is "Free Reformed Stuff". But they are all locked it seems (all the ones from the CD burn).
[18:00] <kevinO> fwaokda, you added "blacklist ipaq" to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then did "sudo rmmod ipaq"   ?
[18:00] <KenBW2> jlewis: im not an expert on this, but i think the command you want is 'sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /location/of/folder'
[18:00] <stylzP> try reinstalling ;)
[18:00] <timboy> i'm having an interesting issue: I logged in today and my LAN ip was getting dhcp instead of static even though I have it set for static! this is relevent info from syslog http://pastebin.ca/1079630
[18:00] <Nece228> !ru | digiwhite
[18:00] <fwaokda> kevin0, yup... i can do it again while having the device selected in the network option... but if i try it its gonna lag me out here for awhile
[18:00] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: It is "Free Reformed Stuff". But they are all locked it seems (all the ones from the CD burn).
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> sudo apt-get install VirtualBox?
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> oh
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> reinstalling
[18:01] <digiwhite> oops, sorry :)
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> i already did.
[18:01] <Abed> !virtualbox
[18:01] <kevinO> fwaokda, that command i gave you shouldnt lag you out
[18:01] <KenBW2> ZeroOP_: ive heard youre best to get VB from the official site
[18:01] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  ok so you want virtualbox,  but what for?
[18:01] <ZeroSerenity> I know I have asked this question before but I forgot the command. What is the command to install the GUI component on the Server Distro?
[18:01] <Nece228> digiwhite: no problem we just inform you ;)
[18:01] <fwaokda> kevinO, no nvm its complicated im trying that again now
[18:01] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: ok. so do "chmod -R 755 Free Reformed Stuff"
[18:02] <ZeroOP_> i want to run windows inside of linux
[18:02] <digiwhite> Nece228: thanks :)
[18:02] <SebNaitsabes> ZerOP:  Windows XP inside Linux?
[18:02] <stylzP> ZeroOP_,  I took mine from sun/virtualbox and works fine
[18:02] <ZeroOP_> yeah.
[18:02] <KenBW2> ZeroSerenity: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:02] <nico_> virtual box is nice but some lack with usb hotplug
[18:02] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  do you need USB support?
[18:02] <CarlFK> from the command line, how can I tell if the box (laptop) is running on ac or battery?
[18:02] <ZeroOP_> yesh i would.
[18:02] <fwaokda> kevinO,  when i type the rmmod ipaq it gives me this... "ERROR: Module ipaq does not exist in /proc/modules"
[18:02] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: ok-- i booted up off my cd-- now what? chroot???
[18:02] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  you want USB support?
[18:03] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: use tab completion to help complete the folder name...
[18:03] <stylzP> SebNaitsabes, kernel modul missing
[18:03] <SebNaitsabes> yes yes that can happen
[18:03] <ZeroOP_> but yeah, tahnks for the lead on their website
[18:03] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: try "chmod -R 755 ~/Free<tab>"
[18:03] <SebNaitsabes> the virtualbox manual is good
[18:03] <ZeroOP_> follow their directions
[18:03] <kevinO> fwaokda, ok it must not be there then, i would move on to the next step
[18:03] <SebNaitsabes> not sure waht the link is
[18:03] <ZeroOP_> and see :)
[18:03] <nico_> what about xen Versus virtualbox ?
[18:03] <Abed> wut is the virtualbox?
[18:04] <jlewis> ok, hang on.
[18:04] <Odd-rationale> !virtualbox | Abed
[18:04] <SebNaitsabes> and if you want  USB supporrt get the PUEL from their site
[18:04] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: yes. Do you know where your ubuntu installation is mounted?
[18:04] <snarkster> has anyone converted a window ce pda to linux?
[18:04] <Taylor> hey ppl
[18:04] <Abed> hey Taylor
[18:04] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: not really
[18:04] <Taylor> yeah i did it to my aunt
[18:04] <fwaokda> the next step is syncing but my device doesn't pass this step yet... "synce-pls"
[18:04] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: That is it! Beauty! tHX.
[18:04] <digiwhite> bye to all! :)
[18:04] <kevinO> fwaokda, sudo apt-get install multisync-tools opensync-plugin-evolution opensync-plugin-synce
[18:05] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: i think it's hda0 or something like that
[18:05] <nico_> is it possible to emulate a complete desktop with xen or it is only for server ?
[18:05] <Sudowman> thorny__sun:do you know where you installed it (something like /dev/hda2 or /dev/sda1)
[18:05] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: np. BTW, cool to see other reformed people on here... :)
[18:05] <sns> I got two users: user1 (default user) and user2. When logged into KDE as user2. Which users defines when screen goes idle in gnome-power-preferences?
[18:05] <fwaokda> kevinO, k
[18:05] <sns> gdm is login thing
[18:05] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: can you type 'cat /etc/fstab' and post the output to pastebin for me
[18:05] <fwaokda> kevinO, already have those installed.
[18:06] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: in fact post the output of  'sudo fdisk -l' as well
[18:06] <kevinO> fwaokda, can you reboot and then try to sync again please
[18:06] <radeone> hello is anyone in here that can help me change apt from using wget
[18:06] <kevinO> fwaokda, just to rule it out
[18:06] <radeone> to curl
[18:06] <Zyna> VileTimes, using nosplash pci=noacpi all-generic-ide it crashes saying "disabling IRQ #5" any idea?
[18:06] <sns> I got two users: user1 (default user) and user2. When logged into KDE as user2. Which users defines when screen goes idle in gnome-power-preferences? I use KDE and GDM as login manager.
[18:07] <Zyna> VileTimes, seems like a problem when initiating usb support
[18:07] <fwaokda> kevinO, ok
[18:07] <linuxkrn> hey guys, having some trouble with hp-setup, when I try to download the firmware I get "error: No network connection found. Please check your network connection try again." but I'm able to use the net in everything else (firefox,ping,etc)

[18:11] <kmaynard> anyone running pure-ftpd?
[18:11] <shashi> I want sudo without asking for password. i have followed the URL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo . But it's not working with Ubuntu 8.08 64-bit. sudo still asking for password. What is the correct way to do this ?
[18:12] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: ok first type 'sudo su' to give yourself a root shell, then 'mkdir /mnt/ubuntu222
[18:12] <weretaco> anyone feel up to answering a network related question?
[18:12] <Odd-rationale> Sudowman: "sudo -i" is reccomended over "sudo su". here at least...
[18:13] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: then 'mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ubuntu222'
[18:13] <fwaokda> kevinO, still no worky
[18:13] <weretaco> probably easiest to just link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866994

[18:14] <fwaokda> ty
[18:14] <Guest59137> hello
[18:14] <stylzP> weretaco:  save your location in the networkmanger imho
[18:15] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: yeah-- everything seems good so far-- no errors-- ok-- chroot'ed ok as well
[18:15] <soundray> fwaokda: are you following the forums howto?
[18:15] <weretaco> see ideally
[18:15] <kmaynard> i'm trying to figure out how to pass arguments to pure-ftpd at startup
[18:15] <weretaco> I'd like it to work automagically the way windows does
[18:15] <weretaco> where it has separate DNS for each interface
[18:15] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: where are you from?
[18:16] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: from here you should be able to do whatever you wanted. You can set the root passwd with 'passwd root' or you can add your user to sudo group
[18:16] <kevinO> weretaco,  cant you just leave it on Roaming mode?
[18:16] <weretaco> well.. i need to be on static IP in the office
[18:17] <weretaco> which also means specifying a dns server
[18:17] <weretaco> i tried it before adding a script to add the static DNS servers to the resolv.conf on bootup
[18:17] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: What denom are you?
[18:17] <kevinO> weretaco, is the static ip in the office much different from your home?
[18:17] <weretaco> but then it'd have to wait for the non existant first one left from the dhcp to timeout before moving on
[18:17] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: I would recommend setting the root passwd, so that if something goes wrong when you boot back into the real ubuntu  you should be able to fix it from there
[18:17] <Flannel> Sudowman, thorny__sun: you really don't need a root password.  sudo covers everything you need.
[18:18] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: yeah-- and now i will actually try to remember it
[18:18] <Flannel> thorny__sun: You didn't need to boot to a liveCD anyway.  You should've used the recovery console
[18:19] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: so how does 'passwd root' change the root password of my hd install root instead of the root password of my live cd root?
[18:19] <kevinO> weretaco, couldnt you just give your home network the same subnet ip as your work?
[18:19] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: it just doesn't seem like i should be able to do this?  isn't this a security hole?
[18:20] <Chousuke> thorny__sun: depends; which system are you booted to?
[18:20] <thorny__sun> Chousuke: I booted to live cd
[18:20] <Chousuke> then it changes the livecd root user's pass
[18:20] <thorny__sun> Flannel: so forgetting the root password doesn't matter at all?
[18:20] <Sudowman> Chousuke: he/she is chrooted into ubuntu install
[18:20] <Flannel> thorny__sun: All you need to do is boot to the recovery console, and re-add your user to the admin group.  No liveCD needed.  And certainly don't set a root password
[18:20] <Chousuke> Sudowman: ah, hmm
[18:21] <Chousuke> in that case, yes.
[18:21] <Flannel> thorny__sun: The root password doesn't exist by default.  The root account is locked.
[18:21] <Ithilin> could someone tell me where the .bashrc or .zshrc files are? I need to edit them.
[18:21] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: so chroot then transfers me over to my hd isntall as root on that?
[18:21] <Flannel> Ithilin: ~/.bashrc (/home/user/.bashrc
[18:21] <Sudowman> Flannel: recovery console? is that single user mode?
[18:21] <halp9> hi. How to set in GNOME to have PL language and PL locale for my current user?
[18:21] <Flannel> Sudowman: yes
[18:21] <Ithilin> thanks what about the other one?
[18:21] <Flannel> Ithilin: the same (just different name)
[18:21] <Ithilin> ok thanks again
[18:22] <Flannel> Ithilin: Although it may not exist already
[18:22] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: yeah, but keeps certain things from livecd such as kernel and /proc
[18:22] <thorny__sun> Flannel:  i'll set my root password anyway since i don't remember it
[18:22] <soundray> halp9: prepare your system with System-Administration-Language Support, then choose Polish as the language at the login screen
[18:22] <Flannel> thorny__sun: You should lock your root account.  You should not have a root password set.
[18:22] <zoreau> are there any music players that let me play music over the network
[18:22] <Flannel> thorny__sun: sudo passwd -l root
[18:22] <Flannel> thorny__sun: (thats an L)
[18:22] <halp9> soundray: oh ok... btw, a bit unintuitive imho
[18:22] <halp9> brb
[18:23] <Ithilin> flannel they aren't in folders are they? or are the just files in the home directory?
[18:23] <Flannel> Ithilin: Yes
[18:23] <thorny__sun> Flannel: Sudowman: Chousuke: is there anyway to know what my users groups were before i did 'usermod -G newgroup'?
[18:23] <pmmadog> hi all how do you get the flames when you shut down a window
[18:23] <thorny__sun> Flannel: is that what ubuntu does by default-- lock the root password?
[18:24] <Atomicsunset> compiz fusion
[18:24] <soundray> !ccsm | pmmadog
[18:24] <Flannel> thorny__sun: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[18:24] <kevinO> weretaco, if you make your home networks ip adress the same as your works, then you can give your laptop the static ip it needs for your work. and you can keep your home network dhcp, just make sure the starting range for ip addresses will accommodate your work ip address. a static ip will work on a dhcp as long as its within range and not assigned already i believe.
[18:24] <pmmadog> thank you
[18:24] <Flannel> thorny__sun: In the future, remember the -a
[18:25] <kevinO> weretaco, then you should be able to go to and from with no configuration
[18:25] <Flannel> thorny__sun: yes.  The root account is locked, and there's no need to unlock it
[18:25] <thorny__sun> Flannel: yeah-- figured that out a little too late
[18:25] <thorny__sun> Flannel: so that means knowing the password is useless?
[18:25] <zoreau> anyone know of a music and/or video player that can open files located somewhere on my home network
[18:25] <Flannel> thorny__sun: there is no password to know.
[18:25] <thorny__sun> oh ok
[18:26] <Zyna> VileTimes, tried to install 8.04 server this time and it gets stuck at USB init as well... just says 8 ports detected in the last line... that's it... just stops and after a few seconds the cd stops rotating
[18:26] <Flannel> zoreau: Once you've mounted your network shares, any/all players should be able to open them
[18:26] <thorny__sun> Flannel: Sudowman: may i say that usermod should append by default and remove only with an extra switch
[18:26] <soundray> zoreau: if you mount  the network share, you can play the music files in the share with any player
[18:26] <skaflem> zoreau: I just share the media-files with smb/nfs, and open them "localy" on my computer :)
[18:27] <weretaco> kevinO: I think i might run into issues with that
[18:27] <weretaco> because the DNS ip will be different
[18:27] <weretaco> I am thinking
[18:27] <zoreau> soundray: how do i mount the folder?
[18:27] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: you can do that if you want, using aliases
[18:27] <weretaco> that I could write a bash script that pings the gateway here on the lan, since that connects before X starts anyways
[18:27] <weretaco> if it's up, I know I'm at work
[18:27] <weretaco> if it fails, I'm at home
[18:27] <soundray> zoreau: Places-Connect to Server
[18:28] <weretaco> then i cna just modify resolv.conf if i'm here with the right dns, and at home let dhcpd overwrite it
[18:28] <zoreau> oh well then it should be working, but its not
[18:28] <soundray> zoreau: what version of Ubuntu do you have?
[18:28] <Flannel> thorny__sun: most people just use users/groups, and avoid the issue.
[18:29] <kevinO> weretaco, just setup a dns for each place, in order of which place you want to use the internet the most i guess :))
[18:29] <zoreau> 8.04 hardy
[18:29] <weretaco> yeah.. i was doing that
[18:29] <weretaco> but it takes soo long to timeout on dns :P
[18:29] <weretaco> unless you can change that
[18:29] <weretaco> hrmmm
[18:29] <kevinO> every internet service provider should give you a dns ip to use
[18:29] <soundray> zoreau: just to clarify: you can access the share, but not play the files?
[18:29] <kevinO> oh you already did that
[18:30] <zoreau> correct
[18:30] <jonny__> hi@all
[18:30] <soundray> zoreau: which player have you tried?
[18:30] <zoreau> Im currently looking at the music on my other comp thru Banshee's 'open file' andall the songs are greyed out
[18:30] <thorny__sun> Flannel: what do you mean users/groups?  i created a new group and was tryin to add my user to it.. how would you do that?
[18:30] <Sudowman> Flannel: sudo is no more secure than logging in as root, providing you know not to login as root when you dont need to.
[18:31] <Flannel> thorny__sun: in the GUI, system > admin > users and groups
[18:31] <thorny__sun> oh
[18:31] <Flannel> !sudo | Sudowman
[18:31] <Flannel> Sudowman: that page explains some of the benefits of using sudo vs using root
[18:31] <zoreau> soundray: Banshee and thestandard Movie Player
[18:31] <keram`> how can i make it so that when a network interfaces comes up it automatically creates a secondary interface on a different subnet (like ifconfig eth0:1 <IP_ADDRESS>)
[18:32] <soundray> zoreau: it could be just a permissions problem. If it's that, copying those files to your local desktop would fail, too. Have you tried that?
[18:32] <zoreau> Movie player crashes, and banshee wont open remote files
[18:32] <keram`> i have tried using post-up ifconfig eth0:1 <IP_ADDRESS> but it doesnt seem to do anything
[18:32] <zoreau> i just copied one to make sure it could open, it wasfine
[18:33] <Sudowman> Flannel: I think the reason is more that if ubuntu ever does get widespread like windows, and everyone is competent enough to know how to login as root, then ubuntu will suffer from the same problems as windows
[18:33] <Sinnerman> hi is there a way to find out what icon a program is using to display in the notification area?
[18:33] <kevinO> weretaco, there has got to nbe some program that will allow you to choose a location
[18:33] <weretaco> yeah.. i just want automagical :P
[18:33] <soundray> zoreau: you might try mounting the share on the command line instead of through gnome
[18:33] <ml> ok so I wanted to hack the scripts in the livecd (usb version), I managed to find the filesystem on the liveusb ubuntu 8.04, called filesystem.squashfs, I extracted it, modified the /etc/init.d/myscript, repacked the squashfs files, recopy on key, and now it looked as if it would work, but then I lost every right (cannot sudo su, cannot startx, etc...) ne1 knows why ?
[18:33] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: thanks so much for the help and time!!  u saved me!
[18:33] <Sudowman> Flannel: if you know how to use linux properly logging in as root is fine
[18:34] <fwaokda> soundray, i looked on the forums but no how-tos
[18:34] <zoreau> soundray: how do I do that
[18:34] <kevinO> weretaco, then the way i described to you about putting both networks is the best your going to get for now unless you can find a program on the net for it
[18:34] <Flannel> Sudowman: sudo does nothing to keep you from breaking your own system.  You can have a root terminal, etc.  It provides the admins more control over what non-admins can do, plus the security benefits (guessing username and password instead of just password)
[18:34] <weretaco> yeah
[18:34] <weretaco> I think I found an option for DNS timeouts
[18:35] <weretaco> so if I lower that
[18:35] <kevinO> but you still have the timeout issue
[18:35] <DarkAudit> getting strange sound system behavior... no audio previews in Nautilus, no sound from VLC, and ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
[18:35] <weretaco> i shoudlnt see the difference really
[18:35] <kevinO> ahh cool
[18:35] <soundray> fwaokda: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936
[18:35] <weretaco> just have it timeout soon enough that I don't notice it :P
[18:35] <kevinO> 1 second :)
[18:35] <DarkAudit> all dependent on what the session is. In GNOME or KDE, I get the errors. *Not* in fluxbox
[18:35] <imaginativeone> I need a better irc client than pidgeon
[18:35] <snmpee_> Sudowman:  logging in as root generally a bad practice. in fact, most of the linux channels have root@ banned to encourage using lesser accounts. I'm not going to argue with you, but there's no reason to take such risks.
[18:35] <imaginativeone> are there any others?
[18:35] <Flannel> Sudowman: There's absolutely no reason to enable the root account in Ubuntu, which is why we don't support it, and ask you not to recommend it to people here, unless you're going to be here to support them 24/7
[18:35] <Flannel> imaginativeone: xchat
[18:35] <DarkAudit> if I'm in fluxbox, audio previews in Nautilus works fine
[18:35] <fwaokda> soundray, thanks i'm trying it now
[18:36] <imaginativeone> flannel: thanks
[18:36] <soundray> zoreau: I can only give you a rough pointer, as it's been some time since I did this: 'sudo mount -t cifs -o user=username,pass='password' //server/sharename /mnt'
[18:36] <soundray> zoreau: note this is insecure when you're on a shared system
[18:36] <zoreau> how so?
[18:37] <soundray> zoreau: another user might read your commandline, which contains the password, by typing 'ps aux'
[18:38] <Sudowman> Flannel: snmpee_ : I dont want to argue either, but the fifth point on that page is BS , for obvious reasons
[18:38] <soundray> zoreau: have a look at 'man mount' -- it explains how you can put the user and pass in a credentials file and not have it show up in the process list
[18:38] <snmpee_> Sudowman take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:38] <falstaff> does anybody knows an linux application which pops a windows to the front?
[18:39] <imaginativeone_> sweet!  This is nicer...
[18:39] <imaginativeone_> thanks again flannel
[18:40] <taime1> in Xubuntu, is xfce heavily modified, and does it rely on gnome?
[18:40] <Awsoonn> I would like to set up a local cached repo in my house so that all of my machines in my home will update faster, any tips?
[18:40] <soundray> falstaff: can you explain a bit more what you're trying to do?
[18:40] <fwaokda> soundray, mine doesn't have ipaq runnin :( so i dont think that how to works for me mine says "rndis_host"
[18:41] <Flannel> Awsoonn: check out apt-proxy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy
[18:41] <falstaff> soundray, doing a test.. i found out that popups with wine doesnt work, so i try to find an linux application which pops something up, if this works, the bug belongs to wine.. :-)
[18:41] <Awsoonn> Flannel: domo
[18:41] <soundray> Awsoonn: quick and dirty: define a 'master' downloader, share its /var/cache/apt/archives, and mount that share to /var/cache/apt/archives on the other machines
[18:41] <rotzak> any idea if you can take a virtual desktop across two monitors and split it into two desktops, sort of like how Windows handles multiple monitors?
[18:41] <rotzak> because I really hate having my bars flow over to my second monitor
[18:42] <muntrue> rotzak, Je kan de VM in fullscreen zetten op een van de monitors
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> rotzak,  Huh? If using nvidia - enable Twinview -  and the gnome panelwont do that
[18:42] <chimp> I have two laptops here, one will connect fine to the wireless in the house, while the other one will connect, then only intermitantly give any net access, it will hang for ages (even if i just ping something) then net access will come back outta the blue, any help?
[18:42] <soundray> fwaokda: I'm not sure what you're getting at... ipaq isn't a program, it's a kernel module
[18:42] <rotzak> muntrue: sorry, no dutch speaker here ;)
[18:42] <rotzak> Dr_Willis: TwinView sweet. I'll have to check that badboy out
[18:42] <soundray> falstaff: you can use devilspie to force the behaviour you want
[18:42] <fwaokda> soundray, well its not loaded for my device how do i load it for my phone?
[18:43] <muntrue> rotzak, How can you have that name and not speak dutch ! Blasphemy!
[18:43] <rotzak> lol
[18:43] <soundray> fwaokda: 'sudo modprobe ipaq'
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> rotzak,  disable xinerama, and enable twinview - I normaly do  so with the nvidia-settings tool and the nvidia-xconfig tool
[18:43] <rotzak> i probably could by now, so many people are rattling off dutch to me :-P
[18:43] <TwistedLiquid> Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to take a list (from a file or cat) and run a command for each line with the contents of the line as aruguments for the command.
[18:43] <fwaokda> soundray, k thanks i'll try that
[18:43] <muntrue> rotzak, How did you come to that name ?
[18:44] <rotzak> muntrue: It's the name of my band, my bass player came up with it, his grandma is dutch I think :)
[18:44] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: man xargs
[18:44] <TwistedLiquid> everything I've found points to xargs, but i haven't got that working right for me
[18:44] <synapse98561> After configuring my bcm4306 with ndiswrapper, ubuntu will only connect to open networks. I can't connect to WPA-secured ones.
[18:44] <rotzak> Dr_Willis: Here's an interesting one. When I launch nvidia-settings it tells me that I'm not using an nvidia driver, but I configured my display with nivida-xconfig and in my xorg.conf my device driver is 'nvidia'
[18:44] <muntrue> rotzak, Makes sense. Its such a typical dutch word. We just assume only a real dutchy would use that. Must be pretty hard to pronounce for you guys eh ?
[18:44] <falstaff> soundray, "No s-expressions loaded, quiting" any how to?
[18:45] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: example: 'cat filelist | xargs ls'
[18:45] <chimp> !offtopic > muntrue
[18:45] <soundray> falstaff: /usr/share/doc/devilspie
[18:45] <rotzak> muntrue: yeah, everyone pronounces it "rot-zaak"
[18:45] <rotzak> we, the band, pronounce it more like "rotzok"
[18:45] <muntrue> chimp, Kinda fast on the offtopic button there buddy.
[18:45] <chimp> muntrue: Its a busy channel
[18:46] <TwistedLiquid> thanks soundray, but it always feeds all the lines together as arguments for one process, instead of each line being arguments for each process
[18:46] <taime1> why does thi schannle torture itself???? have you all not heard of conference mode?? there are like 100 people asking questions, and you cannot read the text quickly enough to answer them..
[18:46] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: that's xargs main strength :)
[18:46] <muntrue> chimp, True but that does not mean i cant have a friendly conversation for a second before being !offtopic'd
[18:46] <taime1> conference mode, ops.. c'mon..
[18:46] <weretaco> ok kevinO I think I came up with a solution
[18:46] <weretaco> I used the option in resolv.conf to set the timeout to 0.5 seconds
[18:46] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: see if 'cat file | while read i ; do echo $i ; done' helps
[18:47] <TwistedLiquid> alright, thanks
[18:47] <weretaco> then in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf I removed the request domain-name-server
[18:47] <weretaco> so i'm hoping this works :P
[18:47] <synapse98561> Is anyone here on a WPA network using ndiswrapper?
[18:47] <rotzak> Here's an interesting one. When I launch nvidia-settings it tells me that I'm not using an nvidia driver, but I configured my display with nivida-xconfig and in my xorg.conf my device driver is 'nvidia'
[18:47] <jpcooper> hello
[18:48] <jpcooper> does anyone know how to make the flash plugin for firefox (Adobe's) work with Alsa, rather than direct to the device?
[18:48] <soundray> rotzak: strange... same result with 'gksudo nvidia-settings'?
[18:48] <rotzak> soundray: yep
[18:49] <soundray> rotzak: I presume you've restarted your machine since you configured the driver?
[18:49] <weretaco> bah
[18:49] <rotzak> hmm I think so
[18:49] <weretaco> bahhhh
[18:49] <rotzak> let me try that
[18:49] <weretaco> :P
[18:49] <weretaco> more options to add

[18:51] <weretaco> apparently I also have to prepend or append the dns servers since now the dhcpd just overwrites with blank nameservers. So this "should" work now :)
[18:51] <soundray> adp: is the panel still there?
[18:52] <adp> it worked! thanks!

[18:53] <synapse98561> Is there something wrong with WPA in hardy and the 2.6.24 kernel?
[18:53] <Odd-rationale> jlewis_: yes i'm still here. just finished lunch...
[18:53] <TwistedLiquid> Thanks soundray, that works!
[18:53] <TwistedLiquid> I was close with: for args in `cat testfile`; do ./countargs $args; done
[18:53] <snmpee_> soundray: I am not asking you anything, i am correcting you. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you don't wish to pm, you do need some correction.
[18:54] <adp> last question. how would I get a desktop app to load at session login?
[18:54] <adp> like gmail notifier?
[18:54] <falstaff> soundray, does devilspie work under compiz? moving a window to another workspace seems not to work.. but thanks!
[18:55] <soundray> falstaff: I haven't tried
[18:55] <windmill> I've been getting some strange sound issues since I upgraded to Hardy, anyone know why my sound card says it's busy
[18:55] <windmill> ?
[18:56] <synapse98561> Is anyone runnng with WPA working on Hardy?
[18:56] <weretaco> where would I add something to have it insert text after dhcpd has started up?
[18:57] <chriswr> whats VMware?
[18:57] <Awsoonn> synapse98561: i have a working wpa connection
[18:57] <chriswr> im trying to install backtrack in ubuntu on virtual box ,and i dont know if i should choose iso file or a vmware file?
[18:57] <taime1> chriswr: virtual machine program that lets you run an os inside an os
[18:57] <eshear_> daemontools automatically adds itself to /etc/inittab...will that work on ubuntu? or do I need to do something else to get it to load on startup?
[18:58] <Windsurfer619> synapse98561: Yeah, it's pretty easy with nm-applet
[18:58] <taime1> chriswr: iso
[18:58] <synapse98561> awsoonn: are you, by chance, using ndiswrapper?
[18:58] <chriswr> taimel: ok
[18:58] <chriswr> taime1: thnx
[18:58] <synapse98561> windsurfer: I wsh it were... lol
[18:58] <strixv> Wacom tablets: Mine works if I've had it plugged in since boot, but if I plug it in (hotplug it?), no dice. Any suggestions?
[18:59] <synapse98561> with the b43 driver it works, but i get speeds of less that 1Mb/s. with ndiswrapper it will not connect to any wpa enabled network.
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> strixv,  i belive thats a known bug with the  tablets. I recall seeing it mentioned in the forums
[19:00] <mavsman4457> hi my flash player is pretty much working but when I go to play conan obrien episodes or videos from hulu it just stays at buffereing or loading video
[19:00] <chimp> Is there a way for me to 'reinstall' and reset the wiresless setup for this laptop?
[19:00] <strixv> Dr_Willis, I wonder if there's a work-around? I'm looking through the forums atm trying to find something
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> strixv,  no idea - mine dosent ahve tht issue
[19:01] <tortus> how do i check whether my text file has win or unix line breaks?
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. pOpen it in an editor that shows end or line/CR perhaps? like fte - is one way
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> file command may tell also.,
[19:02] <AlexJP> anyone here ever use a trackball?
[19:02] <PrivateVoid> tortus there is a grep command option...
[19:02] <PrivateVoid> I have to look it up

[19:08] <mercutio22> mgreen: there are plenty of names
[19:08] <ClawEEE> hello i installed the radeonhd drivers and included them into the xorg.conf

[19:08] <ClawEEE> system isnt booting anymore
[19:09] <ClawEEE> what can i do ?
[19:09] <mercutio22> mgreen: is there another reader that integrates well with firefox?
[19:09] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: check /var/log/Xorg?.log
[19:09] <gangsterlicious> or just grep "EE" out of that log
[19:09] <mgreen> mercutio22: do you really want it to "integrate" with firefox?
[19:09] <mercutio22> mgreen: It is nice.
[19:10] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: then cross reference the error message on forum see if similiar errors happened with others
[19:10] <mgreen> mercutio22: well, i don't know what to say about the memory leak... hope for the best :)
[19:10] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: whats the command to read the log in console ?
[19:10] <hiptobecubic> where would i go to ask about a problem with flash in firefox3? the text encoding is wrong, it's not correctly printing accents
[19:11] <tranqy>  vc cvvcZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZSQF234
[19:11] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: "vi" or "grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log"
[19:11] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: i've got the same problem here
[19:11] <ClawEEE> kk thx
[19:11] <gangsterlicious> you should have nano installed. use nano instead of vi
[19:11] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, there's no way to force utf-8?
[19:11] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: if there is, please do tell :)
[19:11] <Hotkey> anyone tell me how to add a key shortcut to enter name/address in forms?
[19:12] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, lol great. well i've not had any luck so far
[19:12] <mgreen> it's usually not a problem, but the chat part of YouTube Streams is messed up
[19:12] <mercutio22> mgreen: I will abandon adobe reader if there is another reader that opens in firefox. Do you know of any?
[19:12] <mgreen> mercutio22: i don't know of any, since i prefer opening in a new window
[19:13] <mercutio22> mgreen: which one do you use?
[19:13] <mgreen> mercutio22: i use evince, which comes standard
[19:13] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: well system stops while "*Running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)
[19:13] <ClawEEE> or after that
[19:13] <mercutio22> mgreen: does evince display on fullscreen?
[19:13] <falstaff> Whats the difference between viewports (in compiz) and workspaces?
[19:13] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: how long you let it wait at execuing /etc/rc.local?

[19:14] <joobaby> whats the best way to transfer 2 gigs over the internet to 1 person?
[19:14] <nogagplz> joobaby: A torrent?
[19:14] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: just a few minutes.... does it sometimes take so long ?
[19:14] <windmill> where is my sound? :P
[19:15] <Sudowman> joobaby: ftp server
[19:15] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: I take you can still use CLI/console but just no gui huh? you try to press ENTER few times see if it prompts something?
[19:15] <the_darkside_986> I can't get mysql to let me set a password for a user. when I run the UPDATE query: "Rows matched: 1  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0"
[19:15] <mgreen> mercutio22: i don't know about fullscreen. let me check.
[19:15] <the_darkside_986> after flush privileges: it still requires a blank password.
[19:15] <mercutio22> mgreen: alright, thanx
[19:15] <Sudowman> nogagplz: torrents are subject to bandwidth throttling, if you're only transferring to one person there not much use
[19:15] <mgreen> mercutio22: yes, it does indeed support fullscreen
[19:16] <mgreen> mercutio22: f11 or view menu

[19:17] <mgreen> mercutio22: it think you will find that emedding in firefox is not really necessary. though, ymmv
[19:18] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: did you log on as root and see what it says in /var/log/Xorg0.log?
[19:18] <mercutio22> mgreen: I know its not crucial. But it is nice. I think I will suggest that at ubuntu brainstorm
[19:18] <gangsterlicious> sorry, might be Xorg.0.log.
[19:18] <mgreen> mercutio22: absolutely, do that. thanks for contributing :)
[19:18] <eshear_> does /etc/inittab work in ubuntu?
[19:19] <Hotkey> anyone tell me how to add a key shortcut?

[19:21] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: i'm all back to normal now-- thanks again!  curious though-- didn't we just prove that we could hack into any ubuntu system that we had physical access to?  is that as it should be?
[19:21] <Sudowman> nogagplz: you're in australia, so maybe your ISP doesn't. Here in Britain its impossible to torrent during the day
[19:21] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, try System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[19:21] <Hotkey> Sylphid - I have been theree but cannot figure out how to add a new one
[19:21] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: "ls /var/log/*org*log" what does it say? X is upper case
[19:21] <DarkAudit> I'm getting strange audio behavior only when in GNOME... no audio preview on mouseover in nautilus, no sound from VLC. Switch to XFCE, KDE, or Fluxbox, no problems.

[19:22] <Dr_Willis> Imaginativeone,  Lots of BLING!
[19:22] <spi343> how can i stop the pcmcia service in ubuntu 8.04 ? i have installed pcmciautils but there is no pcmcia script in /etc/init.d/
[19:22] <unop> Sudowman, i can say that that's not true in my part of britain :)
[19:22] <mgreen> Imaginativeone: have you done any FLOSS work?
[19:22] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: boot fine.... but tv out doesnt work :P
[19:22] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, what are you trying to make the shortcut do?
[19:22] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: yes, with physical access you can do anything. You can put a boot passwd onto the machine to stop people booting into livecds or other operating systems, but then attackers can just steal your harddisk and get your data
[19:22] <Hotkey> type email address
[19:23] <migzu_> Hi
[19:23] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: search around the forums. i never used that feature
[19:23] <gangsterlicious> you have to configure multi-display
[19:23] <Sudowman> unop: it is here. I cant get more than a few kbs during the day
[19:23] <migzu_> My friend just installed ubuntu. and when he applied restricted drivers (nvidia-glx) he got this http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/2695/05012006099na0.jpg
[19:23] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: is there a way to edit the sudoers file to keep me from having to type my password whenever i do sudo?  i mean i've already logged in, so why do i need to keep typing my password...
[19:23] <migzu_> Any ideas?
[19:24] <migzu_> It worked fine before nvidia-glx
[19:24] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: there is
[19:24] <mgreen> migzu_: it worked with 'nv' drivers?
[19:24] <shesek> if I accidentally changed the password for mysql's user debian-sys-maint, what should I do ?
[19:24] <unop> thorny_sun, to stop your little brother from doing damage to your system perhaps? :)
[19:24] <shesek> can I get it to use another password?
[19:24] <hiptobecubic> is there a way i can force aptitude to update just one package to intrepid?
[19:24] <hiptobecubic> has something to do with pinning or something?
[19:24] <Awsoonn> is there a shockwave plug in for ubuntu?
[19:24] <migzu_> mgreen, Dunno what drivers he has
[19:24] <unop> thorny_sun, the password is a security barrier to becoming root
[19:24] <migzu_> But the default ones
[19:24] <iOsiris> Heh you guys, i had to reinstall XP and now GRUB doesn't show up, how do you get it back ?

[19:24] <naftilos76> hi to everybody, i've just imigrated from fedora to ubuntu and it seems great! But i still have a tiny problem with firefox 3. It indicates that java is not working when i try java in java.com. Any ideas?
[19:25] <DarkAudit> something broke in ALSA, but the test seems to work. Only when certain applications need sound does it fail. Any idea what I broke?
[19:25] <thorny_sun> unop: little borther isn't around-- and as Sudowman and I just demonstrated the password is kinda useless if you have physical access anyhow
[19:25] <hiptobecubic> naftilos76,  have you installed java using synaptic/aptitude?
[19:25] <mgreen> migzu_: yes, but it worked before using proprietary drivers, right?
[19:25] <unop> hiptobecubic, pinning is possible, but not recommended -- backporting an intrepid package is safer
[19:25] <migzu_> Yes
[19:25] <jochmen> !java
[19:25] <Hotkey> sylphid did I miss your response?  I logged off by accident!
[19:25] <hiptobecubic> unop, sounds great. how does that work?
[19:25] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: check out the bottom of this page    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:25] <hiptobecubic> !backport
[19:26] <mgreen> migzu_: you could restore settings to use 'nv' driver
[19:26] <spi343> DarkAudit, aplay -l show the card?
[19:26] <shesek> if I accidentally changed the password for mysql's user debian-sys-maint, what should I do ?
[19:26] <migzu_> Yeah, but he wants to get compiz and all that stuff
[19:26] <hiptobecubic> i have already enable backporting but not for intrepid, how do i enable intrepid?
[19:26] <DarkAudit> spi343: card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
[19:26] <mgreen> migzu_: type 'lspci'
[19:26] <DarkAudit> card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
[19:26] <unop> hiptobecubic, you need an intrepid deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list for the repo that has the package. then do.   apt-get -b source packagename
[19:26] <migzu_> And theres this thing, that when he tries to do ctrl+alt+f2. The screen says "out of range"
[19:26] <hiptobecubic> oh

[19:27] <DarkAudit> spi343: yes
[19:27] <cleus> a'ight ^^
[19:27] <jochmen> that looks like nvidia soundcard
[19:27] <mgreen> migzu_: look up in the history
[19:28] <cleus> use windows instead and dont bother trying to config all these things :P
[19:28] <spi343> DarkAudit, so you say only some applications fail with the sound, not all?
[19:28] <jochmen> do lshw in console
[19:28] <cleus> is this better?
[19:28] <migzu_> hes got nvidia 8600gt
[19:28] <migzu_> gts*
[19:28] <migzu_> But he can't type "lspci" in , cause he can't acces terminal

[19:28] <migzu_> I've got 8600gt
[19:28] <neuromit> does anybody know how to enable PAE in ubuntu?
[19:28] <mgreen> migzu_: you can start in failsafe mode, so that X won't start
[19:29] <wols> neuromit: enabled by default normally
[19:29] <slunko> When I turn on normal/extra effects, the desktop boxes in my workplace switcher shrink to half their normal size. How can I return them to their normal size?
[19:29] <wols> neuromit: how much RAM?
[19:29] <mgreen> neuromit: go for AMD64, perhaps?
[19:29] <DarkAudit> spi343: yes. Totem works, Amarok works, VLC does *not*, mouseover preview of an audio file does *not*... and only when in GNOME. In another session manager, it all works
[19:29] <migzu_> mgreen, And how do i do taht
[19:29] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work that seems more like a way to get a script to run an ap.
[19:29] <migzu_> Mine works correctly
[19:29] <neuromit> wols: I have a intel core 2 duo with 4gb of physical ram installed, but only 3 gb are recognized
[19:29] <ubunoob> im on a mac! just got it last week, was hoping to see any advice on if macs are good to run linux, esp ubuntu 8.04
[19:29] <migzu_> This is my friend problem
[19:29] <neuromit> I
[19:29] <fwaokda> :(  I've crudded up my system trying to get this stupid phone thing to work is there any way to magically tell the computer to get rid of it all?
[19:29] <wols> neuromit: that is normal under 32bit. can't be otherwise
[19:29] <migzu_> neuromit, get 64-vit install
[19:29] <jochmen> crtl+alt backspace restart x server
[19:29] <mgreen> migzu_: you will see a message at boot.
[19:29] <neuromit> I would also like to avoid 64bit if possible
[19:29] <migzu_> friends
[19:30] <shesek> if I accidentally changed the password for mysql's user debian-sys-maint, what should I do ?
[19:30] <wols> neuromit: you can however run a amd64 kernel with your 32bit userland just fine
[19:30] <mgreen> neuromit: amd64 works very good nowadays, though
[19:30] <neuromit> if you enable PAE under kernel 2.6 you can get 36 bit addressing which is up to 64gb of ram
[19:30] <deserteagle> hello all
[19:30] <wols> neuromit: tell me which program can actually use PAE
[19:30] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work in the windowz world I had an app running in the background that would allow me to define any key combos and have that combo type anything when I pressed the keys.  Like name, address, state, city, zip code, credit card number, email address, etc.
[19:30] <jochmen> cant type fast running linux on the nintend ds
[19:30] <abhi_> how can i edit the files in /usr/share/applications/xx.desktop
[19:30] <wols> besides, you can use a bigmem kernel
[19:30] <neuromit> wols: the kernel uses pae not individual programs (if I understand)
[19:31] <migzu_> mgreen, Could this problem be because of amd64?
[19:31] <deserteagle> does anyone have a clue as to why i can play music just fine with my xmms but not vlc?
[19:31] <deserteagle> new sound card
[19:31] <jochmen> ;)
[19:31] <mgreen> migzu_: i'm running amd64
[19:31] <neuromit> well I use matlab  and aI analyze very large data sets needed as much ram as possible
[19:31] <migzu_> So am i
[19:31] <spi343> DarkAudit, in System->Preferences->Sound you can change the sound playback driver, maybe you can try them all
[19:31] <wols> neuromit: just use a amd64 kernel
[19:31] <jochmen> !sound
[19:31] <mgreen> migzu_: start with what i told you. reboot the machine and go into failsafe. that way you will be able to edit your xorg.conf and start normally
[19:32] <migzu_> Well i didn't get the failsafe part
[19:32] <migzu_> I didn't see any message on boot

[19:32] <DarkAudit> spi343: got all but sound capture on autodetect and it all works there... but not on those apps when in GNOME
[19:33] <mgreen> migzu_: i think you press escape

[19:34] <hiptobecubic> is there somewhere i can read about backporting? i'm not sure how it works exactly
[19:34] <xFlipx> anybody having FF3 issues where FLV video either freezes or randomly loses audio?
[19:34] <mgreen> !backports | hiptobecubic
[19:34] <Flannel> !java | naftilos76
[19:34] <DarkAudit> spi343: there was talk about issues with /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

[19:34] <earthian> Hello, I recently upgraded from gutsy to hardy and now my HDD is being read/written constantly. `top' shows that kjournald process is taking more CPU time that it should (maybe as I did not actually noticed it before)

[19:35] <soundray> hiptobecubic: you want  to backport software, or  use pre-prepared backports?
[19:35] <naftilos76> -ubottu- i was refering to java support in internet browsing.....

[19:35] <earthian> Hello, I recently upgraded from gutsy to hardy and now my HDD is being read/written constantly. `top' shows that kjournald process is taking more CPU time that it should (maybe as I did not actually noticed it before). What is happening there and how to stop it? I start hating the sound of hdd!
[19:35] <hiptobecubic> soundray, i'm trying to use the version of a program that is currently in the intrepid repos, without upgrading to intrepid
[19:36] <spi343> how can i stop the PCMCIA service in ubuntu 8.04 ? there's no /etc/init.d/pcmcia script
[19:36] <soundray> hiptobecubic: first stop is to check the backports repo:
[19:36] <soundray> !backports > hiptobecubic
[19:36] <spi343> with this kernel version 2.6.24-19-generic
[19:36] <hiptobecubic> backports is already checked in my sources
[19:36] <hiptobecubic> hardy-backports
[19:36] <naftilos76> -ubottu- When i go to java.com it shows that java is not working on my pc
[19:36] <wols> spi343: is it a module?
[19:36] <wols> if so you can blacklist
[19:36] <wols> !blacklist | spi343
[19:36] <soundray> hiptobecubic: if it's not there, you can try and backport it yourself, by checking out the intrepid source package and compiling it with hardy libs
[19:36] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: what software is it, specifically?
[19:36] <spi343> wobblyw1, yes hostap_cs for prism 2.5
[19:37] <spi343> wols, , yes hostap_cs for prism 2.5
[19:37] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, gecko-media player
[19:37] <wols> as I said: blacklist then
[19:37] <jochmen> !blacklist
[19:37] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: do you have a specific issue that we may be of help of or are you sure that you need that package?
[19:38] <spi343> wols, ok that would disable it for good, i just need something like /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop; do stuff without pcmcia; then restart service
[19:38] <xFlipx> anybody having FF3 issues where FLV video either freezes or randomly loses audio?
[19:38] <rockenrola1> do the external hard drives have temperature sensors too? mine is very hot
[19:38] <jochmen> you can eject the card
[19:38] <hiptobecubic> i started http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 there. Which led me to http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5305122&postcount=500 here.
[19:38] <wols> spi343: you can always manually modprobe it and rmmod it afterwards
[19:39] <spi343> wols, ok thanks

[19:39] <naftilos76> Hi i changed from fedora to ubuntu Ultimate Edition and java does not seem to work when i go to java.com for a check...Any ideas?
[19:39] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, you may be able to put some static entries into the clipboard and set shortcuts to paste from there
[19:39] <hiptobecubic> and he does a really awkward look replacement of hardy with intrepid in the sources file. it seems like there is a better way to do it, which is what i'm looking for
[19:39] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work thx
[19:39] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, just curous ... what was the windows program you were using?
[19:39] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: that's alot of text... :) what is the problem? streaming media in ff3?

[19:40] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work not my day!  Forgot user id and/or password to Ubuntu Forums too!
[19:41] <mgreen> mucking around with unsupported packages is rarely needed. i just want to make sure that we don't know a supported way to fix your issues.
[19:41] <jcg> Como utilizar o Squad, para ler um arquivo de log?..Alguem sabe?
[19:41] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, msome quicktime videos don't work and others do, which is exactly the problem he's describing in the post. He says that the mplayer from intrepid doesn't have the same issue so he switches "hardy" with "intrepid" in sources.list. then installs mplayer, then switches it back

[19:53] <SeveredCross> Or, gzip -d
[19:54] <Lusule> thanks
[19:54] <hiptobecubic> no it does not. the other 'working' one does work, however
[19:54] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: what system are you on?
[19:54] <Lusule> SeveredCross, not gzip -dr then?
[19:54] <hiptobecubic> hardy heron
[19:54] <SeveredCross> -r operates recursively on subdirectories, not sure why you'd need that.
[19:54] <Lusule> Seveas, it unpacks the subdirectories properly automatically?
[19:55] <chriswr> plz help , im trying to open synaptic and it keeps saying incorrect password but i know its the right password , what do i do?
[19:55] <soundray> Lusule: .gz are compressed single files, not archives
[19:55] <Lusule> and that should be SeveredCross sorry ><

[20:02] <parasito> list
[20:02] <soundray> zz: this is a long shot, but occasionally, it'll start working if you add an option to the kernel line (hit F6 at the boot screen). Try 'vga=0x317', that should give you 1024x768
[20:02] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: ok, so we've isolated it to the actual html/javascript then
[20:02] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: ff3?
