[00:00] <gaby> yes
[00:00] <gaby> ahem, somebody know how to forcefully mount something?
[00:00] <oCean_> gaby: mount has a force option, but the preferred/recommended way is to go through windows
[00:00] <_Whipper> gaby: so.. you are changing From ub ?-)
[00:00] <gaby> i cant access windows
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> caleb_: nice, sometimes they take a while to connect
[00:01] <thewrath> hey
[00:01] <gaby> ill probably have to go back to factory settings
[00:01] <caleb_> ActionParsnip: It's kind of weird, seeing how I had this open all night.
[00:01] <gaby> but i need my files first
[00:01] <thewrath> does anyone want to help me test the stuff with my pgp key?
[00:01] <caleb_> ActionParsnip: I guess it's a good thing I didn't uninstall.
[00:01] <cypher1> does anybody have the same problem of cpu usage being 95-100% with flash in firefox ?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> gaby: sudo mount /dev/<partition anme> /mount/point -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,force
[00:01] <BuckyBunny> Evening everyone.
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> cypher1: firefox is a memory hog imho
[00:01] <oCean_> gaby: Ok, you can try the forced mount, but when it still gives the "..in use" or "..not cleanly shutdown" message, you have to go through windows anyway, or install ntfs progs
[00:02] <gaby> thanks a lot, im going to try this, hold on
[00:02] <cypher1> ActionParsnip, ok.. what is the better alternative then ?
[00:02] <_Whipper> and there went another win.. :)
[00:02] <BuckyBunny> I'm loking for a bit of help if anyone can assist a noob.
[00:02] <SrEstroncio> (:
[00:03] <SrEstroncio> what's the problem?
[00:03] <cypher1> !ask > BuckyBunny
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> cypher1: i rate opera personally
[00:03] <QaDeS_> whoa, this is becoming a pretty private chanel as it seems ^ ^
[00:03] <BuckyBunny> I need help turing on to turn on “Automatic kernel module loading”
[00:03] <`Borg`> oh yay. ee is not available for intrepid? how crappy is that
[00:03] <cypher1> ActionParsnip, ok.. thanks and i am assuming you have not had any problem with flash in opera
[00:03] <BuckyBunny> I'm pretty sure I have to recompile the kearnel but I'm not sure
[00:04] <zagabar> Hi guys.
[00:04] <caleb_> Hi.
[00:04] <SrEstroncio> hi

[00:05] <kilj> Does anyone know why the proprietary drivers in Intrepid causes my ATI graphics card to overheat?
[00:05] <jpubuntunub> anyone know the code to get the latest nvidia drivers?
[00:06] <soreau> Is there any reason why VLC settings aren't being saved in Hardy?

[00:06] <zamba> i see three options.. nfs-user-server, nfs-kernel-server and unfs3
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> cypher1: runs fine
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> cypher1: try it, you can always uninstall
[00:07] <Sylphid> does anyone know of a program that will do popup reminders of upcoming events
[00:07] <unop> Sylphid, evolution can do that
[00:07] <soreau> The keybindings aren't working like 'f' for fullscreen and settings for keybindings aren't being saved. No relevant terminal output or permission issues
[00:07] <soreau> (in VLC on Hardy)
[00:08] <kilj> Does anyone know why the proprietary drivers in Intrepid causes my ATI graphics card to overheat?
[00:08] <BuckyBunny> can anyone assist me turning on Automatic kernel module loading

[00:08] <ryan1> I am a total beginner with a dell inspiron 6000 newly installed, but I'm having problems with my graphics can anyone help me?
[00:08] <OmniDrink> Whenever I plug my Zen in, Banshee closes. I went to the Banshee irc channel, but no one was there.
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> BuckyBunny: its already on, just add the module name in /etc/modules and it will be loaded at boot
[00:09] <cypher1> BuckyBunny, yes as you thought it looks like you have to recompile kernel..but you can checkout kerneld also
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> OmniDrink: what if banshee isnt running?
[00:10] <cypher1> ActionParsnip, thanks i will try opera
[00:10] <OmniDrink> Banshee works, but it closes as soon as I plug it in.
[00:11] <ryan1> I am a total beginner with a dell inspiron 6000 newly installed, but I'm having problems with my graphics can anyone help me?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> OmniDrink: does it re-eun ok?

[00:11] <ActionParsnip> ryan1: in terminal run: lspci | grep -i vga

[00:12] <zamba> georgy_28: ok, thanks :)
[00:12] <ryan1> thank you
[00:13] <`Borg`> why was the ee package for intrepid removed? that was retarded.
[00:13] <OmniDrink> Are alot of people of people having this problem with Banshee?

[00:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> what is the default time that sudo remembers my password?
[00:16] <jpubuntunub> hey gnorris
[00:16] <gnorris> Hello!
[00:17] <jrib> Iceman_B^Ltop: 15 minutes
[00:17] <Iceman_B^Ltop> jrib: thanks
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: i think 5 mins after a quick web search
[00:17] <jpubuntunub> gnorris: where should i look for the code to grab the new nvidia drivers do you think?
[00:17] <space_cadet> can't you set that length of time??
[00:17] <gaby> ActionParsnip, Im trying this instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-535808.html because the problem is similar
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/395107/2005-04-03/2005-04-09/0
[00:18] <gnorris> I dont know the answer to that question sorry.
[00:18] <jrib> ActionParsnip, Iceman_B^Ltop: « man sudoers » says 15 minutes is default, though I suppose it could have been compiled differently.  15 minutes sounds right from experience though
[00:18] <jpubuntunub> its alrighty
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> jrib: i was just going by that site
[00:18] <space_cadet> doesn't it also matter if you use seperate terminals?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> gaby: looks good, you need to use ntfs-3g for write access
[00:19] <space_cadet> yes.
[00:20] <SrEstroncio> ActionParsnip: I am talking to gaby, and It seems to me that the issue is that she cannot access her NTFS partition and she is getting a "not clean shutdown in windows" message even thought that is not the case.
[00:20] <zagabar> What is the terminal command for unmounting?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> SrEstroncio: you'll need to use -o uid=1000,force
[00:20] <space_cadet> ActionParsnip, Iceman_B^Ltop if you use two different terminals, and you sudo in both, both will ask for a password
[00:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ActionParsnip / jrib: thanks
[00:20] <georgy_28> zagabar : umount
[00:20] <SrEstroncio> Could you post the whole command?
[00:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> space_cadet: I noticed in screen :)
[00:20] <usuario> alguem fala portugues?

[00:21] <SrEstroncio> ActionParsnip: Could you please post the whole command to forcefully mount an NTFS partition?
[00:22] <zagabar> I have a game that I run with wine. It needs a CD to be started. How can I mount the ISO so that it recognize it as a CD?
[00:22] <barbo> SrEstroncio: you usually cant force an NTFS partition, if its unclean you'll have to chkdsk it and try again
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> SrEstroncio: sudo mount /dev/<partition name> /mount/point -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,force
[00:22] <space_cadet> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/sdx0 /media/mountpoint
[00:22] <barbo> forcing it is dangerous still
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> zagabar: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0
[00:23] <space_cadet> o loop?
[00:23] <space_cadet> aah cd rom
[00:23] <zagabar> ActionParsnip: Thanks.
[00:23] <matt434> i just installed ubuntu for the first time in a couple of years.  i have dual ubuntu and windows partition.  In the past I was used to the GRUB screen coming up so I could select which OS to boot.  but that is not happening now!   i do not have a way to get into ubuntu.  only by loading the livecd.  but i can see fro mthe live cd that the parition is full of linux files.  tell me what to do please!
[00:24] <space_cadet> matt434, install grub to the MBR instead of the Ubuntu partition
[00:24] <barbo> matt434: recovery the mbr
[00:24] <micca> ok so my firefox greyed out.. is there a chance of it recovering or do i just kill it? its been grey for a while
[00:24] <jpubuntunub> will i have problems with a pci and pcie card(s)
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> matt434: make sure your bios points to the drive you installed grub to
[00:24] <space_cadet> micca, kill it
[00:24] <matt434> space_cadet, barbo, how
[00:24] <micca> ok thank space_cadet : will it like in windows give the option to restore session?

[00:26] <ActionParsnip> zagabar: run the installl .exe file with wine

[00:27] <ActionParsnip> matt434: part of the install process is to install grub
[00:27] <zagabar> ActionParsnip: I did. I mounted the install CD to "/media/mnt". Then I mounted the play disc to /media/cdrom0 but it doesn't recognize it.
[00:27] <space_cadet> matt434, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991987
[00:27] <space_cadet> matt434, read through it before attempting anything.
[00:27] <matt434> ActionParsnip: i believe you, but it was definitely not installed
[00:28] <matt434> wow
[00:28] <gnorris> Ok people im back
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> matt434: then use that guide to install grub to the disk and you will then be bootable
[00:28] <matt434> this shouldn't be so hard to install grub
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> matt434: its simple enough
[00:28] <space_cadet> matt434, that is taking advantage of windows bootloader
[00:28] <space_cadet> matt434, grub is already installed
[00:28] <ubunttu> hi , i need a data (picture) recovery software
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> zagabar: you will need to mount the play and instal disk to the same place
[00:29] <gaby> brb guys, thanks for the help
[00:29] <matt434> ActionParsnip, space_cadet, the find /boot/grub/stage1 fails
[00:29] <matt434> so does find /grub/stage1
[00:29] <zagabar> ActionParsnip: Okay. I will try to reinstall it then.
[00:29] <space_cadet> matt434, did you sudo ?
[00:29] <matt434> it says file not found
[00:29] <space_cadet> you did sudo grub?
[00:30] <matt434> yes
[00:30] <shadowblade> !iptables
[00:31] <matt434> shouldn't need sudo to run find though
[00:31] <space_cadet> Mine was a slightly different story. I couldn't get grub to find the stage1 file or even recognize my drive. So I borrowed some knowledge I picked up while using Gentoo:

[00:31] <space_cadet> to access partitions other than the live cd?  yes
[00:31] <space_cadet> it should require root perm

[00:37] <jonathan__> enigma: is flash installed?

I had to unplug the ethernet and redial... how do I get gnome to choose between different internet connections on my machine
[00:39] <enigma> nado, what do you mean by that?
[00:39] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, if I do that I won't be able to use my usb stick?
[00:39] <cordelia> thanks
[00:39] <oCean_> enigma: First see if you have installed flashplugin-nonfree
[00:39] <nado> enigma, on windows, when you go to their website they ask to install a software
[00:39] <shadowblade> gorlak: could be the design of the processor - you might want to try googling for high cpu usage for your cpu
[00:39] <jonathan__> enigma: it doesn't, i don't believe.  You can get a .deb package from adobe's website.
[00:39] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer, backup your usb stick, then install with unetbootin, you'll get the idea...
[00:40] <enigma> oCean_, alright.
[00:40] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, ahhh, what I meant is instead of burn the ISO to a cd, burn it to a USB stick
[00:40] <enigma> nado, what software?
[00:40] <enigma> jonathan__, alright.
[00:40] <nado> enigma, it's a player they provide that you need to install before you can view their videos
[00:40] <jonathan__> enigma: or install restricted-extras
[00:40] <oCean_> enigma: it is in the repos, so no need to download deb from any site
[00:40] <Nephilus> ikonia: am i unbanned or is this a server error?
[00:40] <nado> enigma, and they only have it for windows and mac
[00:40] <jimi_hendrix> i dled a .deb and am about to install it, but it says i am advised to dl it from the channel, what does that mean
[00:41] <enigma> nado, what is the name of the player?
[00:41] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer  well... this use is possible for that, but you will have a different menu at the start
[00:41] <nado> enigma, although flash is necessary, in the case of ABC it is not enough :(
[00:41] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, I see, how different?
[00:41] <oCean_> nado: yes it is, I can see abc shows
[00:41] <jtaji> jimi_hendrix: all you need to do is: sudo apt-get install pan
[00:41] <Nephilus> ABC?
[00:41] <Tophu> is there a tool I get get to scan an IP range like say <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS> and return which IP addresses are in use?
[00:41] <enigma> jonathan__, I already have that.
[00:41] <phaer> jimi_hendrix: that means the same program is also in a repository, install it trough the jannel, updating will be easier
[00:41] <jtaji> jimi_hendrix: no need to download the .deb seperately
[00:41] <landanimal> wtf is an MiB (data size) ?
[00:41] <CyberSurfer> I want to update my Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10

[00:41] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, ah
[00:42] <Nephilus> or maybe bit
[00:42] <jrib> landanimal: wikipedia knows
[00:42] <landanimal> not a man in black?
[00:42] <oCean_> enigma: I can see the shows
[00:42] <Tophu> I have a remote client that I reboot on occasion and don't want to give it a static IP so I need to be able to scan for it so I can connect to it
[00:42] <Nephilus> landanimal: it is a megabit
[00:42] <CyberSurfer> Nephilus, I think it's bit
[00:42] <Nephilus> yeah
[00:42] <nado> oCean_, through their website ? how
[00:42] <Nephilus> byte would be Mb
[00:42] <Nephilus> i think
[00:42] <oCean_> nado: flashplugin, that's it.
[00:42] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer, this may be a little bit better...  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html
[00:42] <jrib> landanimal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibit
[00:42] <enigma> nado, oCean_ jonathan__ it would appear that I have everything installed that I need. But whatever the deal is with that player ABC requires, I am just missing that. Do you know a way around this?
[00:42] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, okay, thanks
[00:42] <enigma> oCean_, you can watch Ugly Betty without problems?
[00:43] <myselftion_> hellow, anybody can help me? i need to know how is my disk distribution (i'm a ubuntu begginer)
[00:43] <space_cadet> !topic enigma, oCean_
[00:43] <oCean_> enigma: have you checked for the "flashplugin-nonfree" ?
[00:43] <Nephilus> does ikonia ever shut down his comp?
[00:43] <space_cadet> !topic | enigma, oCean_
[00:43] <oCean_> space_cadet: don't. This is clearly an ontopic issue
[00:43] <enigma> oCean_, yes I checked. I have it installed.
[00:43] <Nephilus> ah support
[00:43] <jtaji> myselftion_: try applications > accessories > disk usage analyzer
[00:44] <space_cadet> ugly betty is a topic issue oCean_
[00:44] <space_cadet> ?
[00:44] <oCean_> enigma: ok. one moment
[00:44] <phaer> space_cadet: they are discussing how to watch abc series *on ubuntu*
[00:44] <nado> oCean_, no that is not enough. I have flash player installed. ABC says : Our new video player is only available for Windows (IE Firefox) and Mac(Firefox,Safari). Please download the appropriate browser.
[00:44] <phaer> space_cadet: so thats on topic, if you ask me ;)
[00:44] <nado> oCean_, what do you get when you go here : http://fep.abc.go.com/fep/player?src=abccomjs&show=186439  ?
[00:44] <space_cadet> aah... srry oCean_ enigma
[00:45] <shadowblade> can anyone help me set up port forwarding with iptables?
[00:45] <enigma> space_cadet, we are on topic. Don't worry. It's about trying to get ABC videos to work with firefox on Ubuntu.
[00:45] <space_cadet> oCean_, enigma have you tried hulu.com?
[00:45] <oCean_> nado: I get "only viewers withing US can watch blah blah"
[00:45] <nado> oCean_, ah sad
[00:45] <Nephilus> I have a problem with my dock. i found the command for my pandora app. and added it and it doesn't have an icon so i gave it one. Now everytime the dock starts i have to reapply the image (i use AWN and i have tried png and ico)
[00:45] <Nephilus> any ideas?
[00:46] <enigma> space_cadet, my friend, whom I just recently converted to Ubuntu from WIndows watches Ugly Betty on ABC.com every day. This is the issue. To allow her to keep viewing in Ubuntu.
[00:46] <KeithBilly> could someone please offer some direction to replacing vlc 0.9 with vlc 0.8 on intrepid? This isn't b/c of some silly interface issue but rather a very bad memory leak in the streaming wizard that was introduced in 0.9, we need to be able to run our stream with 0.8.6 until vlc can fix this.
[00:46] <space_cadet> oCean_, try a proxy service
[00:46] <nado> oCean_, so where do you watch the shows if not on ABC ?
[00:46] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, hehe sorry for being a noob but, "Copy the installer kernel and the initramdisk into this folder (Download source below.You need the files ?vmlinux? and ?initrd.gz?)." what does he mean with kernel?
[00:46] <ozzloy> i'm looking to move my company from visual source safe to bazaar.  i tried contacting canonical about this and haven't heard back.  any suggestions on support for this?
[00:47] <oCean_> enigma: ok. Also make sure, the flashplugin-nonfree is set as default.
[00:47] <zagabar> How can I remove a program from wine? I tried the default uninstaller for the game, but it did nothing. Then I removed the files in program files manually, but it still thinks the program is installed.
[00:47] <Nephilus> go to wine config
[00:47] <stallon> hello
[00:47] <Nephilus> it is in the wine section in applications
[00:47] <enigma> oCean_, set as default? Is that a setting in Firefox?
[00:48] <Nephilus> and i htink there is also an add or remove application
[00:48] <oCean_> enigma: Use the 'alternatives' method: "sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin"
[00:48] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer, scroll down, you will see images of the files that need to be on the usb
[00:48] <CyberSurfer> ah okay
[00:48] <nado> oCean_, enigma : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67916 that's it. No other solution
[00:48] <CyberSurfer> that's not what I mean space_cadet
[00:49] <space_cadet> the "installer kernel" is what he's referring to...
[00:49] <CyberSurfer> should I just cpy ?vmlinux? and ?initrd.gz?to install?
[00:49] <oCean_> enigma: you will get a list of available plugins. And you can set the default there. Mine is set to the flashplugin-nonfree
[00:49] <CyberSurfer> or I need to do something else with it
[00:49] <enigma> oCean_, alright. It's default. But it was already default. Do you know why online videos are so freaking choppy in fullscreen mode?
[00:49] <UKGent> j/ #xubuntu
[00:49] <stallon> PLease can somebody give me and idea how to set up my skype audio
[00:49] <zagabar> Nephilus: What to do in the config?
[00:49] <zagabar> I tried the wine unintall utility. It didn't work.
[00:50] <enigma> nado, that link you gave doesn't work.
[00:50] <a5x7> stallon; try going to system > synaptic package manager and download/install from there
[00:50] <space_cadet> From the installation iso image you downloaded, copy the folder “isolinux” to the root directory of your USB device (right-click on the .iso file, choose “extract here”). Rename “isolinux” into “syslinux”. Go inside the directroy “syslinux”. There, rename the file “isolinux.cfg” into “syslinux.cfg”.
[00:50] <oCean_> enigma: sorry, no. Mine seem pretty ok
[00:50] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer, ^^
[00:50] <nado> enigma : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679165
[00:50] <nado> sorry missed the last 5
[00:50] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, okay...
[00:50] <zagabar> Nephilus: That application does not exist in the list
[00:50] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, thanks
[00:51] <enigma> oCean_, I've had that problem on every single Ubuntu box I've run. Online video runs way better in reduced mode. Sometimes even the case with Totem. But in fullscreen, it becomes unbearably choppy.
[00:51] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, but that's not what I meant, I'm talking about step 1
[00:51] <Computer> Why is all of my audio at such a low volume, even when turned up all the way?
[00:51] <a5x7> (Noob question) Does linux offer something simular to windows batch programming? like can i write a .bat type of file in linux ?
[00:51] <jtaji> a5x7: you are after Bash shell scripting
[00:52] <jtaji> a5x7: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html   http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
[00:52] <a5x7> jtaji: ok thanks i will look into that :-)
[00:52] <space_cadet> copy the two files you downloaded to that folder... :)
[00:52] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer,
[00:52] <CyberSurfer> ah, okay thanks
[00:52] <shadowblade> can anyone help me set up port forwarding with iptables?
[00:53] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer, sorry, i got sidetracked ... :)
[00:53] <jonathan__> a5x7: I like: http://linuxcommand.org/
[00:53] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, no problem man, thanks :D
[00:53] <hmsims> anyone know how to make the /boot bigger on backtrack 3  want to run the nessusd and get not enough space error
[00:54] <shadowblade> hmsims: you can resize partitions  with gparted
[00:54] <enigma> nado, jonathan__, space_cadet, thank you for your help.
[00:54] <a5x7> jonathan_:  i will check it out, thanks.. i've been trying to learn the CLI more and this looks perfect
[00:54] <stallon> a5x7: pls what do i download from synaptic manager?
[00:54] <hmsims> its not the partition - there is only one
[00:54] <nado> enigma, welcome
[00:54] <DasEi>  hmsims: backtrack 3 ? /gparted le's you alter partitons, or create a new /boot
[00:55] <a5x7> stallon: you needed to install skype correct?
[00:55] <shadowblade> hmsims: then the only thing limiting it should be the drive size. or am i missing something?
[00:55] <jonathan__> enigma: not that I did much.
[00:55] <zagabar> No one knows how do force a removal of a wine application? D:
[00:55] <dn4> Greetings
[00:55] <dn4> my prompt says
[00:55] <dn4> dn4@dn4-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III$ mv Download/ Maps/
[00:55] <dn4> mv: cannot move `Download/' to `Maps/Download': Directory not empty
[00:55] <enigma> jonathan__, I still appreciate the effort to contribute.
[00:56] <stallon> i installed it correct the only thing is that when i talk no one hears me
[00:56] <DasEi> dn4: try with cp and delete afterwards (option -r for subdirs)
[00:56] <dn4> dn4@dn4-desktop:~/.wine$ cp -r Maps/Download/ drive_c/Program\ Files/Warcraft\ III/Download/
[00:57] <a5x7> stallon: does the mic work with other programs? or only not with skype, if not only with skype then its program a setting in skype
[00:57] <stallon> yes
[00:57] <shadowblade> dn4: add ./ to the beginning of your paths
[00:57] <shadowblade> not a guarentee, my best guess
[00:57] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, with this I'll be able to boot like a live cd right?
[00:57] <hmsims> missing something...this is the code to get pentoo to accept some saves   What you can do is creating a bigger root ext2 fs :
[00:57] <hmsims> Code:
[00:57] <hmsims> dd if =/dev/zero of=root2.img bs=1M count=50
[00:57] <hmsims> [i]this will create a 50 Mb file[/i]
[00:57] <hmsims> mke2fs -q -F -m 0 root2.img
[00:57] <FloodBot1> hmsims: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:57] <stallon> it works well with other
[00:57] <hmsims> mount -o loop root2.img /some/dir/
[00:58] <stallon> though i never tested pidgen
[00:58] <a5x7> stallon: make sure your audio settings in skype are right
[00:59] <shadowblade> dn4, did that work?
[00:59] <stallon> i have done all i could but no result
[00:59] <d33d> is there an ubuntu "lounge"?
[01:00] <dn4> shadowblade: no
[01:00] <jtaji> d33d: #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:00] <shadowblade> dn4: same error or a different one
[01:00] <landanimal> lol....... don't use Enter..... as........ punctuation........ I like that
[01:00] <d33d> ty
[01:01] <gouki> Anyone mind sharing the debootstrap script for jaunty?
[01:01] <BadHorsi1> hi, I have a package that fails on apt-get remove complaining about some files in a directory, so it will never remove it and apt-get upgrade will always fail because of it, I tried -f and all... any ideas?
[01:01] <hmsims> the root ext2 not partition needs to increase in size.  there is only one partition, the entire disk
[01:01] <dn4> shadowblade: same error the maps have not been put into the Maps/Downloads directory
[01:01] <zagabar> How can I remove a program from wine? I tried the default uninstaller for the game, but it did nothing. Then I removed the files in program files manually, but it still thinks the program is installed.
[01:01] <space_cadet> CyberSurfer, yep.
[01:01] <shadowblade> dn4: what command are you using? cp or mv?
[01:01] <kanzie> ok, I have a 8.04LTS installed with LAMP-package, anyone know a good ftpserver?
[01:01] <CyberSurfer> space_cadet, thank you man
[01:02] <CyberSurfer> I'm gonna do that right now, see you.
[01:02] <space_cadet> k
[01:02] <patrlck> l'm still trying to figure out my laptop's fan problem .. I've installed sensors and it has detected the fan, now I'm trying to run pwmconfig but I get this msg :pat@pat-laptop:~$ sudo pwmconfig
[01:02] <patrlck> File /var/run/fancontrol.pid exists. This typically means that the
[01:02] <patrlck> fancontrol deamon is running. You should stop it before running pwmconfig.
[01:02] <patrlck> If you are certain that fancontrol is not running, then you can delete
[01:02] <patrlck> /var/run/fancontrol.pid manually.
[01:02] <FloodBot1> patrlck: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:02] <gouki> kanzie, give vsftpd a try.
[01:02] <patrlck> sorry
[01:02] <stallon> in the sound control i notice that at RECORDING, is disabled , i have enabled it several times but it will still go back to disable
[01:02] <jtaji> kanzie: vsftp is popular, and in the main repo
[01:02] <stallon> what do i do
[01:02] <dn4> shadowblade: basically I have to go from /home/dn4/.wine/drive_c/ <-- right here is where when I try to alt-tab I cannot get Program Files
[01:03] <landanimal> !best
[01:03] <dn4> wait I mean just tab
[01:03] <kanzie> jtaji: you reckon that is easier to set up for me than going with proftpd
[01:03] <patrlck> is it safe if I kill fancontrol.pid while I generate the configuration file?
[01:03] <dn4> so what I did was move all the files to .wine
[01:03] <dn4> then moved them to Maps/Downloads
[01:03] <shadowblade> dn4: tabbing only works when theres one directory in a folder or when you've already typed part of something
[01:04] <jtaji> kanzie: not sure about that..  do you really need an ftp server? because ultimately ssh/scp/sftp is easier if only users with system accounts need to upload
[01:04] <space_cadet> dn4, hit tab twice?
[01:04] <jtaji> kanzie: s/upload/access/
[01:04] <lbayas> ubuntu rocks!
[01:04] <landanimal> lol
[01:05] <space_cadet> yap
[01:05] <landanimal> bestbot is missing from #ubuntu-bots
[01:05] <dn4> I figured it out
[01:06] <kanzie> jtaji: nah, sftp would be perfect...does that not require any additional software to be installed?
[01:07] <raylu> kanzie: as long as openssh-server is installed, you're good to go
[01:08] <dn4> try this cd /home/Username/.wine/driver_x/Program Files <-- why is program files spelled differently
[01:09] <shadowblade> can anyone help me set up port forwarding with iptables
[01:09] <jtaji> kanzie: just openssh-server
[01:09] <dn4> cd /home/dn4/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Warcraft\ III/Maps/
[01:09] <jtaji> kanzie: and then the credentials are already set up since it uses system accounts, you can do anything you can do locally
[01:10] <kanzie> sweet
[01:10] <kanzie> jtaji: thanks
[01:10] <dn4> see those '\' slashes
[01:10] <dn4> what do those do?
[01:10] <raylu> dn4: they're escape characters
[01:10] <raylu> dn4: if you wanted to rename "a" to "a b", you would either have to do
[01:10] <raylu> dn4: mv a "ab"
[01:10] <raylu> dn4: sorry, mv a "a b"
[01:10] <raylu> dn4: or: mv a a\ b
[01:11] <dn4> ahh thank you
[01:11] <jonathan__> dn4: in other words \ is used to escape the normal meaning of a space
[01:11] <raylu> dn4: what you were trying to do was cd into .../Program and passing in some random extra "Files" thing which it ignored
[01:12] <dn4> Thank\You!
[01:13] <kanzie> Im reading a guide for installing 8.04LTS and it recommend me disabling AppArmor, is this really wise?
[01:13] <Sylphid> is there any way i can generate a list of packages that come in a clean install to compare against whats currently installed
[01:13] <Lenin_Cat> how do I use a disc label image to burn on my disk I have lightscribe btw
[01:14] <Nithrin> How do I move a file from one folder to another in Ubuntu?
[01:14] <Shivam> you click and drag
[01:15] <Nithrin> in command line
[01:15] <landanimal> lol
[01:15] <Shivam> ahhhh
[01:15] <raylu> Sylphid: dpkg -l, i think
[01:15] <Nithrin> Sorry, I should've mentioned commandline rofl. my bad
[01:15] <raylu> Nithrin: mv
[01:15] <Nithrin> I know about the mv part, but the help makes it confusing
[01:15] <landanimal> sudo mv?
[01:15] <Knirgh> mv /folder/file.x /destinationfolder/file.x
[01:15] <raylu> Sylphid: though i'd try "dpkg -l | grep -v ii" on the newer system
[01:16] <landanimal> sudo mv /home/buttface/Desktop/mug.jpg /home/yourstuff/Desktop/haha.jpg
[01:16] <raylu> Sylphid: that's a list of not automatically installed packages... i think. this also means that it doesn't include additionally installed dependencies
[01:16] <Knirgh> Nithrin: the first argument of mv is the original file, the second argument is the destination
[01:17] <Sylphid> raylu, thanks ... so grep ii should show me packages i have installed that are not defaults
[01:17] <ogg> hello
[01:17] <gnorris> I have a question, is there a program for Ubuntu that is like a automatic file sync. so when i plug in a USB FLASHDRIVE it will add files that i dont have yet?
[01:17] <ogg> r u can help me?
[01:17] <raylu> Sylphid: grep -v ii
[01:18] <gnorris> I also have onemore question is there a way or program to password protect a program on Ubuntu?
[01:18] <raylu> Sylphid: i can't really understand what's going on, but it seems 'ii' marks an automatically installed package
[01:18] <gnorris> Ogg : i can help you
[01:18] <raylu> gnorris: should it also remove files that don't exist anymore?
[01:18] <Nithrin> What is the destination operand in moving a file with mv? I can't seem to solve it
[01:18] <ogg> gnorris Not starting ipcad (not enabled)
[01:18] <gnorris> yea i guess i dont care if thats a feature
[01:18] <Knirgh> Nithrin: it's the second argument
[01:19] <raylu> gnorris: then you could just write a script that cps
[01:19] <Metatron> i just did a dist upgrade on jaunty, now ndiswrapper is broken, command line ndiswrapper -l just hangs, the gui utility hangs, i can remove the driver with -r name, and add it back, but it still hangs....clues?

[01:31] <kanzie> shoot... what do I use to unzip .zip-files, do I use tar with a flag?
[01:31] <lstarnes> kanzie: unzip
[01:31] <Sylphid> raylu, hmm that doesnt seem to work either as it is grabbing mrxvt (my terminal emulator) that i know is not a standard package
[01:31] <kanzie> no installed
[01:31] <kanzie> and couldn't find in repos either
[01:31] <lstarnes> kanzie: sudo apt-get install unzip
[01:31] <jonathan__> kanzie: it is installed by default
[01:31] <kanzie> my bad
[01:31] <kanzie> jonathan__: not in HH 8.04LTS it isn't
[01:32] <jonathan__> hmm
[01:32] <Titan8990> so20f, after that try: sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[01:32] <so20f> Titan8990, still pukes. http://pastebin.com/m19109b86
[01:32] <Sylphid> raylu, im thinking i may have to pop in a live cd and do a list comparison
[01:33] <jonathan__> kanzie:  I just logged in to my 8.04 box and its there.  try: man unzip
[01:33] <Titan8990> so20f, ehh
[01:33] <raylu> Sylphid: um, that's what it should do then
[01:33] <patrlck> if there is no fancontrol file does it mean my system uses the BIOS settings to control the fan?
[01:33] <Titan8990> so20f, continue with trying the full-upgrade command but that is my last idea
[01:33] <raylu> Sylphid: the  -v means 'not'
[01:33] <so20f> Titan8990, it's working, i'l llet you know
[01:33] <Sylphid> raylu, understood
[01:34] <BadHorsi1> Hi, friend changed "intrepid" to jaunty at work and then did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, went through the screens configuring stuff but the system is pretty broken
[01:34] <so20f> Titan8990, well, not 'working' it's 'in the process'.... :) appreciate the help though.
[01:34] <marcus_> Was just wondering how to change interface language on a per user basis?
[01:35] <marcus_> nm I think I know how. Sorry.
[01:35] <BadHorsi1> there's an unconfigured package, linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (which couldn't be removed) and fails with cpio ./sbin/udevadm No such file or directory
[01:35] <Sylphid> raylu, maybe my explanation was unclear .... im looking to generate a list of packages that are installed in a clean ubuntu install
[01:36] <acton> perform a clean ubuntu install and then do dpkg -l
[01:36] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ive been wondering for a while, how come SCREEN doesnt terminate when you close your terminal ?
[01:36] <acton> because it detaches
[01:36] <Iceman_B^Ltop> any other program halts immedeately when I close putty
[01:36] <acton> that's the point of screen. you can recompile to make it close when you close the terminal
[01:37] <Iceman_B^Ltop> nono, its cool the way it works. Its just something Ive been wondering
[01:37] <Iceman_B^Ltop> what does it do to detach
[01:37] <acton> nods. it just detaches. you can use screen -r to reattach
[01:37] <acton> I'm not sure. same principals as nohup.
[01:37] <BadHorsi1> !udevadm
[01:38] <raylu> Sylphid: oh, then take off the -v
[01:38] <raylu> Sylphid: except that's not quite what you want
[01:39] <raylu> Sylphid: that's a list of automatically installed packages. so when you installed something on top of the base system, any dependencies it pulled in are in that list
[01:39] <Sylphid> raylu, right because it doesnt include packages i may have removed
[01:39] <raylu> Sylphid: oh...
[01:39] <raylu> Sylphid: i think ubuntu-desktop depends on
[01:39] <raylu> Sylphid: everything in the base system. maybe.
[01:40] <MK-ubuntu> hi, i was wondering
[01:40] <Orbixx> Is there any support for Jmicron raid drivers?
[01:40] <MK-ubuntu> how do i select boot settings?
[01:40] <Tokenekie> hi, how can I search for core utility commands using wildcards?
[01:40] <jonathan__> MK-ubuntu: you mean in grub?
[01:40] <Sylphid> raylu, so do i need to reinstall ubuntu-desktop to get the list or is there a way to determine the entire dependancy tree without installing?
[01:41] <MK-ubuntu> yes
[01:41] <micca> LOL earlier abt the problems with all the audio programs
[01:41] <MK-ubuntu> i heard i could change that from gdm.
[01:41] <Tokenekie> How do I search for commands using wildcards?
[01:41] <MK-ubuntu> ?
[01:41] <Orbixx> Sylphid: If you just do a "apt-get install -s ubuntu-desktop"
[01:42] <kanzie> how can I apt-get install the GD2-plug for my php
[01:42] <jonathan__> MK-ubuntu: I don't know about from gdm. however you can edit /boot/grub/menu.list to change them, but be careful.
[01:42] <Orbixx> kanzie: apt-get install php-gd
[01:42] <MK-ubuntu> any links i could look into?
[01:42] <gaby> hello, i just finished mounting an external hard drive that ¨couldnt be mounted¨ (because of windows, but it really wasnt on windows) and now i got this message: The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "sdb1".
[01:42] <kanzie> Orbixx: thanks
[01:42] <jonathan__> MK-ubuntu: you can also access them on boot, normally with escape.
[01:43] <Qblabla> Why are all desktop launchers in the guest session "not trustworthy"? (Jaunty, edited /skel/ to put starters on the guest session desktop)
[01:43] <Orbixx> kanzie: apt-get install php5-gd actually
[01:43] <kanzie> Orbixx: could not find package :-(
[01:43] <kanzie> thaks
[01:43] <gaby> :cc please?
[01:43] <ChotaZ|Idle> How can I use MySQL tools with Ubuntu 8.10?
[01:43] <Tokenekie> gaby: try putting sudo before what you are trying to do. You need to be root.
[01:43] <kanzie> Orbixx: is there anyway to tab to see what is available in the repos?
[01:44] <Tokenekie> How do I search for commands using wildcards?
[01:44] <MK-ubuntu> jonathan__, i know but right now, i installed 8.10 from vbox in xp but when i ran
[01:44] <MK-ubuntu> apt-get update/upgrade
[01:44] <Tokenekie> gaby: or you can use chmod somehow to change the permissions on what you are trying to view
[01:44] <MK-ubuntu> it also updated the kernel to 2.6.27-11
[01:44] <MK-ubuntu> thats y
[01:45] <Sylphid> Orbixx, raylu, thanks that gets me what i need
[01:45] <Tokenekie> How do I search for commands using wildcards?
[01:45] <kanzie> which user should /var/www have?
[01:45] <gaby> chmod?
[01:45] <Qblabla> where are the positions for the desktop icons stored (appearantly not in /home/)?
[01:45] <kanzie> I created a user and chown -R www to that
[01:45] <gaby> im supposed to be ¨root¨, i think
[01:46] <Tokenekie> How do I search for commands using wildcards?
[01:46] <jasballz> qblabla: i think /home/your_user_name
[01:46] <Sylphid> Orbixx, raylu, hmm thats odd and doesnt sound right .... apt is showing up in the list of post install apps
[01:46] <fosco_> Tokenekie: many ways, ls /bin/*command* or ls /usr/bin/*command* for example
[01:46] <lstarnes> Tokenekie: or type part of the command then press tab
[01:47] <jonathan__> MK-ubuntu:  running sudo update-grub will regenerate the config file based on what ever kernels etc you have.
[01:47] <Tokenekie> fosco_: Are those the only two places to find core commands?
[01:47] <Orbixx> What did you expect?
[01:47] <MK-ubuntu> thanks
[01:47] <Tokenekie> lstarnes: Omg Im so stupid. Thanks
[01:47] <jasballz> tokenekie: i know the "locate" command automatically ascribes wildcards to w/e word you have after it
[01:47] <fosco_> Tokenekie: yes for most of them
[01:47] <fosco_> Tokenekie: use find path -name *command* to seacrh wherever you want
[01:47] <kanzie> how can I set up my webserver to use https?
[01:48] <fosco_> whereis command
[01:48] <fosco_> locate command
[01:48] <lakeoftea> hi
[01:48] <Qblabla> jasballz you be right, but than a guestsession seems to handle the desktop specially (re-/notarranged icons and all starters are "not trustworthy")
[01:48] <Tokenekie> fosco_: Yeah, I tried it with whereis but it doesnt let you use wildcards
[01:48] <lakeoftea> i have a question.  i have 150gb drive but for some reason it seems ubuntu is taking up 70gigs which i know isnt true
[01:48] <alexmhso> i need help mounting/managing my media library. I am converting from windows so i have an itunes library consolidated onto an external harddrive
[01:49] <Qblabla> jasballz "you might be right" was what I wanted to say
[01:49] <Tokenekie> fosco_: But anyway, problem solved. just use tab complete. Maybe Ill try locate too, dunno if I have yet
[01:49] <lakeoftea> i can't find any big files on my drive using gnome-search-tool
[01:49] <lakeoftea> how can i figure out where all of this disk space has gone?
[01:49] <jasballz> lakeoftea: try running applications/disk usage analyser
[01:49] <jasballz> lakeoftea: or "sudo apt-get gparted" / "gparted"
[01:49] <Qblabla> lakeoftea: use the diskspace explorer
[01:50] <fosco_> lakeoftea: type df -h in a terminal
[01:50] <lakeoftea> diskspace explorer?
[01:50] <lakeoftea> k
[01:50] <jasballz> alexmhso: since its itunes its already nicely organized so it should be just a matter of connecting it to your pc
[01:50] <kanzie> what steps do I need to take to have my server allow https?
[01:50] <Qblabla> do whaat  jasballz said lakeoftea
[01:50] <Qblabla> I mixed up the names
[01:51] <lakeoftea> i have gparted, it just tells me what % is used
[01:51] <lakeoftea> i wanna know where it's at
[01:51] <alexmhso> jasballz: well for one, i havent mounted the harddrive, so i just have it sitting on my desktop in gnome. banshee isnt letting me drag/drop into it's library, and they're consolidation file organization is different to some extent.
[01:51] <Qblabla> lakeoftea use the /disk usage analyser
[01:51] <lakeoftea> when i search w gnome-search-tool for files over 100mg it dont pull nothing up!
[01:51] <jasballz> alexmhso: you may have a problem of permissions when you try to access them if its hfs / mac
[01:51] <Qblabla> lakeoftea use the disk usage analyser...
[01:52] <lakeoftea> how do i do that?
[01:52] <alexmhso> jasballs: ntfs doesnt have permissions right?
[01:52] <Qblabla> applications  - accesories (or something simmilar) - disk usage analyser
[01:52] <lakeoftea> there it is
[01:53] <alexmhso> jasballz: ntfs doesnt have permissions right?
[01:53] <lakeoftea> word up this program looks pretty cool lol ;)
[01:53] <Jeruvy> alexmhso: sure it does.
[01:53] <alexmhso> okay well is it worth mounting a dedicated folder within my external drive to /home/username/music?
[01:53] <alexmhso> can i even mount a folder to another folder?
[01:54] <bonez46> I have 8.10 installed.. I need to run xp pro.. er.. install it so my boys can play a few games.. should I a) install it natively with dual boot and if so, how, when linux is the first OS on the drive, or b) install virtual box and then load XP into it?
[01:54] <Qblabla> lakeoftea found the evil?
[01:54] <dan457> for games, boot.  VB is not so hot for gaming
[01:55] <jonathan__> lakeoftea: how bout something like "ls -R /your/dir | du | sort -nr | less"
[01:55] <lakeoftea> no it didn't i'm in even more confused
[01:55] <Jeruvy> bonez46: ask ubottu about !dualboot and !wubi, take your pick :)
[01:55] <lakeoftea> the program worked very nice
[01:55] <alexmhso> jeruvy: well should i mount the drive with permissions or can i use it sort of like an external drive in windows?
[01:55] <bonez46> !wubi
[01:55] <lakeoftea> but it doesn't add up to approx 70ish missing gigs
[01:55] <Qblabla> lakeoftea no big chunk anywhere?
[01:56] <hhp2k> Hey everyone!
[01:56] <Jeruvy> alexmhso: I would mount it as a cifs or nfs drive.  You can also use ntfs3g
[01:56] <Qblabla> lakeoftea what does the small text under the toolbar say how much space is used?
[01:56] <dan457> Using ext3?  then a it will format with some missing.....
[01:56] <lakeoftea> it says my / is 7.4 gig
[01:56] <bonez46> Jeruvy: but.. see.. I only have UBUNTU on my hard drive.. not I have windows and want to install unbuntu..
[01:56] <alexmhso> yeah i was told to use fstab
[01:56] <alexmhso> jeruvy: yeah i was told to use fstab by a friend.
[01:56] <lakeoftea> and my home is 4 gig
[01:56] <dan457> fstab will mount things for you automaticaly at boot.
[01:57] <Jeruvy> alexmhso: thats a good way to do it automagically, but your choices remain
[01:57] <lakeoftea> maybe i'll just wait til 9.04 stable comes out and reformat lol
[01:57] <Qblabla> lakeoftea maybe you did what I did: deleting files as root and not emptying the trash?
[01:57] <alexmhso> i dont want to do it auto so i was going to use noauto, but so that it would end up at the same folder all the time.
[01:57] <hhp2k> I have a quick question:  Since recently reinstalling Ubuntu 8.04 after some time not using it, I've spent the last couple of days customizing it to my liking.  If I ever needed to reinstall Ubuntu, would there be a way to save all of the packages, commands, and settings into an executable/archive that would make my system fully customized right out the door?
[01:57] <Jeruvy> bonez46: well then don't even bother..I'm kinda confused what you need help with?
[01:58] <lakeoftea> how do i empty trash as root
[01:58] <jonathan__> hhp2k:  you could keep a copy of all the config files in your home directory as a start
[01:58] <alexmhso> jeruvy: can i just add noauto to the command and mount it to the same folder everytime?
[01:58] <hhp2k> jonathan__: I've got that down, yes.
[01:58] <lakeoftea> sudo take out the trash plz
[01:58] <bonez46> Jeruvy: I have only ubuntu installed.. my boys want to play SOME windows based pc games.. so I want to figure out whether to natively install xp pro. and if so HOW.. or whether to set up virtual box and install xp in there?
[01:59] <Jeruvy> hhp2k: your /home folder should have most of the important stuff, but you should verify with any packages you were using for any specific locations of any possibly important files.
[01:59] <lakeoftea> i know how to empty it from .local in my home dir
[01:59] <Qblabla> lakeoftea if you dont know how to empty the trash as sudo you probably did not fill it with sudo or gk sudo either
[01:59] <jonathan__> hhp2k:  have a list of the packages you just installed, and write a script that installs them and restores your config files
[01:59] <Jeruvy> bonez46: ah, sorry I missed that.  Depending on 'what' games, wine may be a better idea than virtualboxing or dualbooting
[02:00] <bonez46> oh, these are games that I have already looked up in wine...
[02:00] <bonez46> they require win xp..
[02:00] <Jeruvy> bonez46: then you don't have a question. You have a direction :)
[02:00] <Tophu> is there any way to get an ideazon MERC ZBoard and a 7 button logitech mouse working like they do in windows?
[02:00] <hhp2k> jonathan__: Good enough. :) Thanks!
[02:00] <lakeoftea> i's like disk anayiser helped me find approx 13 gigs but wheres the like other 55 gigs i cant find lol
[02:00] <Jeruvy> bonez46: virtual boxing is not ready for gametime in most cases
[02:01] <Qblabla> lakeoftea: you could type "gksudo nautilus" in the terminal and search for the trash bin and empty it (but dont delete anything, in this window you can do much harm)
[02:01] <bonez46> ok, then.. how would I proceed installiing xp pro.. to the hard drive then? it wants to see the MBR as all its own.. how can I install it?
[02:01] <lakeoftea> true what would it be called? trash?
[02:01] <Qblabla> yes
[02:02] <Jeruvy> bonez46: either: dualboot.  That means installing xp first, then ubuntu, or use wubi, which is install xp, then install wubi.
[02:02] <lakeoftea> couldnt i do a gnome-search-tool for it too?
[02:03] <Qblabla> lakeoftea: maybe the 55GB are many smaller files, what would you search for?
[02:03] <lakeoftea> dunno
[02:03] <lakeoftea> is there some sort of strange temp directory like in windows?
[02:03] <Jeruvy> Tophu: mine is seen as a keyboard, and actually works.
[02:03] <jonathan__> lakeoftea:  trash is sometimes stored in .Trash.  You can use Ctrl-H in nautilus to see files starting with .
[02:04] <Jeruvy> Tophu: but I've only alpha tested it with jaunty.  So I don't know if it's properly supported at this time.
[02:04] <bauruine> i am trying to run a miredo server but i always get "Error (87.98.244.xx): Cannot assign requested address." :-/
[02:04] <bonez46> I wont' rip ubuntu out and reinstall just to put xp pro on here.. I guess I won't install it then..
[02:04] <Qblabla> lakeoftea: guess I cant help you any further and I need to sleep
[02:05] <Jeruvy> bonez46: backup /home, trash the rest and go.  Unless your running server apps you should be ok
[02:05] <thebest> hi
[02:05] <Qblabla> lakeoftea: good night and luck
[02:05] <lakeoftea> lol k thx
[02:05] <thebest> there are some one?
[02:05] <gaby> how can i change the ¨permission¨ on a hard disk? i get this http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5710/screenshottrashfilebrow.png
[02:05] <Qblabla> thebest no, 1333 = 0
[02:05] <Tophu> @Jeruvy: my keyboard works fine but the special gaming area on the left with the QWEASD area doesn't want to work
[02:06] <Tophu> what file would I edit to change these keymaps (or add them)
[02:06] <Jeruvy> Tophu: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:06] <Tophu> 8.10
[02:06] <bauruine> gaby, open a terminal and type sudo chown youruser:youruser -R /path/to/folder
[02:06] <cory8092> Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone?

[02:08] <cory8092> Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone?
[02:09] <Jeruvy> Tophu: I'm not sure I'm still working on keymap changes.
[02:10] <cory8092> Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone?
[02:10] <lakeoftea> lol Qbabbla was right it was in my root trash haha a sudo find / -type f -size +10000k figured it out
[02:10] <lakeoftea> all hail ubuntu!
[02:11] <Tophu> ok back
[02:11] <Tophu> so what file do I need to edit to manually map the "gaming" area of my merc zboard?
[02:12] <Tophu> I just got warhammer online working in wine and I'm itching to play ^_^
[02:12] <Sememmon> =\ too bad WAR gets boring quickly..
[02:13] <patrlck> could anyone tell me which part of linux tells the fan which speed to run?
[02:13] <Tophu> not as a choppa ^_^ ofcourse I'm not quite 40 yet
[02:13] <gaby> hello bauruine? this tells me that ive been made owner and its read only now but i cant see at the files in the hard drive, much less write into it
[02:13] <cory8092> Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone?
[02:13] <lakeoftea> what's the best way to install vlc 0.9.8 on ubuntu 8.10?
[02:14] <Tophu> @cory8092 if you go to www.nvidia.com you can download and compile the latest drivers
[02:14] <jonathan__> patrlck:  I don't know, but there some interesting stuff about it in /proc/acpi
[02:15] <Jeruvy> Tophu: hmm sorry I have killed my alpha test.  Thought I had it still.  :(
[02:15] <Brandon_> Hi
[02:16] <oood> hey
[02:16] <cory8092> Tophu: Thank you
[02:16] <Brandon_> wow i finally got this working
[02:16] <TunnlRat> is there a way to use the Synaptic Package Manager to download the newest ATI video card drivers?
[02:16] <cory8092> Tophu: hopefully this will help me problem
[02:16] <kanzie> where do I change the home-path for a user
[02:16] <oood> i've heard about this zeitgeist tool. does anyone know about similar thing? is there something out there with same functionality?
[02:17] <Tophu> if you need help message me I just went through all that today ;-)
[02:17] <janedoe_> will ubuntu's installer create and size a new partition to allow an existing OS (e.g. Vista) to be left in place and functional?
[02:17] <Brandon_> man i've been getting so frustrated with this os
[02:17] <Brandon_> every time i try to add somthing i get a new error
[02:17] <TunnlRat> Janedoe_: Yes it will you can set it to dual boot when you first install
[02:18] <chris__> how can I make firefox spoof ie7 for login purposes
[02:18] <TunnlRat> it gives you the option to change the sizes of the partition before it does anythin
[02:18] <jonathan__> Brandon_: why?
[02:18] <janedoe_> so no need to remove existing OS then, right? (to restate pretty much the same darn thing;) )
[02:18] <TunnlRat> Jane: no you don't have to, it can be left alone so that if you want to be able to chose to boot in windows you still can
[02:18] <oood> i've heard about this ZEITGEIST tool. does anyone know about similar thing? is there something out there with same functionality?
[02:19] <TunnlRat> It will setup a bootloader for you so that you can select either Vista or Ubuntu to start up
[02:19] <janedoe_> great, thanks TunnlRat!
[02:19] <cypher1> chris__: try user agent switchers

[02:24] <Linuxerio>  oigan una preguntita si tengo un Disco duro de 250GB y quiero instalar ubuntu con /home separado ¿que espacio me recomiendan para dejar a cada una de las particiones?
[02:24] <eseven73> !es
[02:24] <Linuxerio> ok
[02:25] <micca> linuxerio , creo que es un ubuntu es
[02:25] <micca> !info ubuntu-es
[02:25] <micca> !ubuntu-es
[02:25] <micca> thank you eseven73  :P
[02:25] <eseven73> :D
[02:25] <micca> sigh i installed LAMP on ubuntu.. and when I run mysql -u root i get an acees denied.. this also happens when i run it with sudo... but if i run it as mysql -u myusername it works (or wihtout -u flag)... this is a problem as once im in mysql i can't set the root password.. what to do?
[02:25] <pymike> bop? any answers?
[02:25] <wonderpoop> ne1 know how i can go from remote host login back to regular user login?
[02:26] <Jeruvy> micca: try #ubuntu-es :)
[02:26] <micca> pymike.. have u tried going to your homefolder (then ctrl+h) so that hidden folders appear perhaps .adobe will show?
[02:26] <pymike> I'll try
[02:26] <micca> no no Jeruvy , it was for linuxerio :p
[02:26] <micca> sigh i installed LAMP on ubuntu.. and when I run mysql -u root i get an acees denied.. this also happens when i run it with sudo... but if i run it as mysql -u myusername it works (or wihtout -u flag)... this is a problem as once im in mysql i can't set the root password.. what to do?
[02:26] <Brandon_> WOOT i finally got somthing to work
[02:26]  * micca scratches me behind with chilli fingers.. arse on fire!
[02:26] <eseven73> micca, slow down on that repeating
[02:27] <pymike> micca: yeah the adobe dir is there, no class directory though
[02:27] <micca> ok eseven73 sorry.. just seemed no one noticing x
[02:27] <Jeruvy> micca: ah sorry
[02:27] <micca> hmm ok pymike im not used ot ubuntu so not sure where classpaths of adobe might be set
[02:27] <pymike> ok
[02:28] <pymike> any chance they might not be installed? ^_^
[02:28] <kanzie> can anyone help me set homepath for a user in my new 8.04LTS
[02:28] <Brandon_> so is every one having as much fun as i am with all this??? (sarcasm)
[02:28] <Jeruvy> micca: mysql root doesn't have a password by default install, So if you set one, explicitly tell it 'mysql -u root -p'
[02:28] <eseven73> micca, you should try channels with 30 people like #puppy, you'll never get help, #Ubuntu is a paradise for help compared to that, why i switched back to Ubuntu ;)
[02:29] <pymike> woah .macromedia/ has a ton of crap
[02:29] <micca> hehe eseven73 .. ye thx.. and Jeruvy : hence I am confused why I can't start it with mysql -u root (I havent set any password.. i can run it wihtout specifying root but if i try to run as root it gives me access denied)
[02:29] <Jeruvy> micca: you have to specify -p
[02:29] <TunnlRat> Can ubuntu scan for wifi networks like windows and if so how? i can't seem to see my wifi router had to hardwire in
[02:29] <Gnomie> wow, there's a lot of new people in here
[02:29] <jonathan__> kanzie: explain more
[02:29] <Gnomie> I don't 'know anyone :o *cries*
[02:30] <kanzie> jonathan__: I want /var/www to be the home-dir of one user
[02:30] <micca> eseven73, does that mean I must forget about all the root stuff in ubuntu? and just set a pssword for me as the admin user? (jeruvy.. if i specify -p wihtout having set a password I wont be able to log in)
[02:30] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ nm-applet on the panel should list all available networks when you click it (in a drop-down)
[02:30] <Gnomie> oh cause im in the wrong channel sorry
[02:30] <micca> TunnlRat, yes it does.. but the wireless driver must be enabled and working
[02:30] <pymike> no projects though
[02:30] <pymike> *classes
[02:30] <Jeruvy> micca: correct, but it's one or the other, it cannot be both :)
[02:30] <jonathan__> kanzie: try "man adduser"
[02:30] <TunnlRat> hrmmm i don't think my wifi card is working then
[02:30] <kanzie> jonathan__: I changed /etc/passwd to link to /var/www instead of home/username, howdever it does not trigger... still end up in the /home/username-foder when I log in over sftp.
[02:30] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ which wifi card do you have? (Check with 'lspci' in terminal, if required)
[02:30] <kanzie> Thinking now of removing the folder and symlink /var/www to /home/username
[02:31] <micca> no true.. but Jeruvy , did you see what I wrote? I CAN log in as myusername but not as root!
[02:31] <kanzie> '
[02:31] <Tophu> what file do I edit to manually set up my gaming keyboard? I need to get the WASDQE section working ^_^
[02:31] <micca> shouldn't i on a default install be able to log in as root?
[02:31] <MenZa> Which keyboard is this, Tophu?
[02:31] <Tophu> Merc ZBoard from ideazon
[02:31] <TunnlRat> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[02:31] <MenZa> you're in luck, TunnlRat
[02:31] <Tophu> @micca: I think root is "hidden" by default
[02:32] <TunnlRat> good lol i hate being out of luck
[02:32] <MenZa> !ath5k > TunnlRat
[02:32] <MenZa> :(
[02:32] <Mobius_thought> hello.. can someone tell me how to put the required tools to install from source? I think I need stuff like "make" and "gcc" ?
[02:32] <kaveh> hey guys im a completely new to ubuntu (im using Xubuntu)
[02:32] <Jeruvy> micca: ok, so did you try user@host?
[02:32] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ are you on a wired network right now
[02:32] <TunnlRat> yeah
[02:32] <kanzie> got it
[02:32] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I have the same controller, I can guide you through the setup :)
[02:32] <Jeruvy> micca: ie: root@localhost
[02:33] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ just to confirm, you're on intrepid, right?
[02:33] <wonderpoop> when i boot into xubuntu it asks for a server host and i don't want that screen how can i go back to regular login typing in just a regular l/p?
[02:33] <TunnlRat> Menza i have no idea
[02:33] <micca> jeruvy: lets say my username is plonker : when i run this: mysql (it starts), if i run : mysql -u plonker... it works.. but absoilutely NOT if i specify root
[02:33] <jonathan__> kanzie: or you go to system => administration => Users and Groups and edit Properties for the appropriate user
[02:33] <MenZa> Mobius_thought→ sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[02:34] <micca> can i just disregard root account or will this be a security hole (i.e. root with no password set )
[02:34] <micca> im not used to not being able to go root with sudo
[02:34] <micca> su*
[02:34] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ try cat /etc/lsb-release - that should say
[02:34] <Guest46609> haj
[02:34] <Chaorain> !HIDpoint
[02:34] <TunnlRat> yeah i am
[02:34] <TunnlRat> Unbuntu 8.10
[02:35] <micca> Jeruvy
[02:35] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ perfect. Just to describe the process - you need to install the ath5k module (which suits your card), blacklist the old ath_pci module and set the new one up to load automatically on boot. I'll guide you through it
[02:35] <micca> you are the best
[02:35] <micca> yup.. it needed the host appendix to accept it... cheers mate!!!
[02:35] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ start by running sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic and wait for that to install
[02:35] <Jeruvy> micca: thanks, you got it?
[02:35] <Chaorain> I'm trying to use HidPoint with my MX Revolution but I get "No Mouse Found" help?
[02:36] <kaveh> someone at my place decided to update my xubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 - firefox started not working properly, the back and forward would be greyed out, it wouldnt put proper home page etc.. - so i googled, several solutions said to remove "xyz.default" and profiles.ini in the .mozilla/firefox folder and then remove / install firefox again. i did that and now firefox wants to make a profile, i dont know how to edit the permissions
[02:36] <kaveh>  so that it can make the profile folder in the .mozilla/firefox folder and when i make the profile elsewhere it says the profile is in use. then i made the profile on a folder on desktop, firefox loads but it wont work at all and a message pops up telling me "Could not initialize the applications security component"
[02:36] <Jeruvy> micca: see bind-address for details on that
[02:36] <micca> Jeruvy, yup it needed the suffix of host as you say.. sorry havent run a mysql server in 7 years :P
[02:36] <kaveh> any help?
[02:36] <type_generic> Hey, I'm having trouble settin up a static IP on one of my computers running ubuntu, I'm starting to try my hand at servers and such. I managed to get it to be a static IP, but I cant get out of my local network (ping google.com fails)
[02:36] <micca> (yes i already read it jeruvy.. but was silly enough to just blindly follow an ubuntu LAMP install guide)
[02:36] <Jeruvy> micca: hehe I hear that :)
[02:36] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ done?
[02:37] <TunnlRat> Menza: yes just finished
[02:37] <lakeoftea> ubuntu is so cool lol ;) i run windows on 1 comp and ubuntu on the other and i want to never have to use my windows again !!! (well, except for cs3 lol)
[02:37] <jonathan__> type_generic: did you restart networking with "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[02:37] <Tophu> ok last time I'll ask before I'm off for the night, anyone know how to get the "gaming section" of a Merc ZBoard from Ideazon working (secifically the WASDQE keys), or does anyone know which file I can edit to manually map these keys?
[02:37] <type_generic> jonathan_: yes, then I typed sudo reboot to see if that would help, nothing
[02:37] <SeaPhor> lakeoftea, cs3?
[02:38] <Othor> what is a good IRC client? i am using XChat-Gnome is there anything better to use?
[02:38] <kaveh> anybody able to help my problem?
[02:38] <TunnlRat> menza: it wants me to reboot now
[02:38] <ice-nine> CounterStrike 3?
[02:38] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ perfect. now you need to blacklist the old module - use nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist - you want to go down to the bottom, add blacklist ath_pci
[02:38] <lakeoftea> adobe lol
[02:38] <Jeruvy> !poll | Othor
[02:38] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ just a second
[02:38] <jonathan__> type_generic: can you ping the ip of google
[02:38] <Tophu> <---I use pidgin cause that's what I had at my fingertips
[02:38] <lakeoftea> no, not counterstrike 3 lol
[02:38] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ it may work now, but just to be sure, let's make sure we don't have modules trying to dominate each other
[02:38] <micca> lol Jeruvy , strike that though ;) in mysql .. even if i logged in as root. i now can't set password with thias ocmmand : mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('hideyhidey');
[02:38] <micca> ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'mysql'
[02:38] <ice-nine> Is there a CounterStrike 3?
[02:38] <lakeoftea> no
[02:38] <lakeoftea> ;)
[02:38] <type_generic> jonathan_:well my ssh to it just crashed for some reason
[02:39] <micca> lmao ice-nine  nothing to do with ubuntu
[02:39] <Jeruvy> micca: hehe that looks wrong  use 'grant'
[02:39] <Othor> Jeruvy: thanks
[02:39] <micca> okidokie
[02:39] <Chaorain> can any one help with HIDpoint configuration
[02:39] <TunnlRat> Menza: i don't even see that in the list
[02:39] <ice-nine> micca WIne 4 Sure would run it if it existed :)
[02:39] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ no, I want you to /add/ it to the list
[02:39] <type_generic> jonathan:  the command "ping google.com" results in "ping: unknown host google.com"
[02:39] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ :)
[02:39] <TunnlRat> menza: ahhhh understoo
[02:40] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ save the file with ctrl + w
[02:40] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ when you're done with that, edit /etc/modules in the same manner, and just add ath5k to the bottom of that list. then reboot and remove your ethernet cable. feel free to pop in and let me know if that worked after :)
[02:40] <micca> Jeruvy.. but grant optipon is for new users no? i mean given I can log in as root@localhost , surely I must create a password for that account by set password no?
[02:41] <jonathan__> type_generic: I was thinking that perhaps dns isn't working, so you could try <IP_ADDRESS> which is google and see what happens
[02:41] <micca> although even back years ago.. i think PASSWORD was somewhat obsolete or osmething.. and rather use a simila rocmmand hmm
[02:41] <MenZa> setting the root user password should be done with the following, micca: SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword');
[02:41] <type_generic> jonathan_: yeah, just thought to do that, and it works. I noticed the problem when it couldn't resolve stuff in synaptic
[02:41] <TunnlRat> menza: aight one problem lol it won't let me save it says permission denied
[02:42] <kaveh> anyone having absurd problems with firefox since updating to 8.10?
[02:42] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ ohh, my bad - you need sudo in front
[02:42] <micca> MenZa, that is what I pasted and it said.. access denied :/
[02:42] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ so sudo nano <files>
[02:42] <TunnlRat> menza: ahhhh okay
[02:42] <Jeruvy> micca: Menza has the right syntax for root mysql may want you to use ` instead of ' tho
[02:42] <dotkite> hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal?
[02:42] <ice-nine> Menza, I used a 2 step process for setting root password.   "sudo su" and then "passwd"
[02:42] <MenZa> micca→ and mysql -u root -p gives you an error?
[02:43] <MenZa> ice-nine→ that's for Ubuntu, not MySQL. and it's awful practice.
[02:43] <MenZa> !root > ice-nine
[02:43] <dotkite> *hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal?*
[02:43] <type_generic> jonathan_: what would stop the DNS from working?
[02:43] <micca> ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql' is what i get in reply inside mysql MenZa  after running mysql -u root@localhost
[02:43] <|toad> has anyone paired the blackberry remote stereo geteway successfully?
[02:43] <micca> so it seems as root returns an empty field.. so root isnt recognized internally?
[02:43] <MenZa> micca→ if it's still not doing as you might want it to, try this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[02:43] <andy_> good day to all
[02:43] <jonathan__> type_generic: a dns server can be specified in /etc/network/interfaces.  but I'm not sure
[02:43] <SvenZ> anyone with patience willing to Private chat with me to get me up and running?
[02:43] <dotkite> *hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal?*
[02:44] <jonathan__> type_generic: why it would stop working in your case.
[02:44] <micca> ok MenZa but i just installed LAMP through the apt-get something something tesl?
[02:44] <SvenZ> need help mounting partitions with NTFS and getting audio to work
[02:44] <TunnlRat> Menza: will that stop my wired network from working?
[02:44] <micca> I could only enter with root user to mysql by specifying root@localhost
[02:44] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ no, not at all - they're seperate adaptors.
[02:44] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I have that wireless card, and I'm on a wired network right now :)
[02:44] <Jeruvy> micca: try 'root'@'localhost'
[02:44] <wonderpoop> does anybody know how i can change login options from terminal?
[02:44] <jonathan__> type_generic: I had a similar problem in FreeBSD but it just solved itself after a reboot and I never bothered with it.
[02:45] <dotkite> *hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal?*
[02:45] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ basically, ath_pci is the name of an old module for that card. It just doesn't work in Intrepid.
[02:45] <type_generic> jonathan_: so I should append my interfaces file to include the DNS servers as supplied by my ISP? Would I just put "DNS 123.456.789.10"?
[02:45] <MenZa> !patience > dotkite
[02:45] <TunnlRat> Menza: Good cause i got so tired of my stupid windows machines not working i just spent the last two days converting them all to Ubuntu and getting world of warcraft up and going
[02:45] <micca> !root
[02:45] <TunnlRat> which worked on my desktop may not work on laptop
[02:45] <andy_> im about to do a dual boot on my pc.with xp and ubuntu..i already did it before on my old pc..i was just inquiring on issues with regards with 2 sata hdd
[02:45] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ good plan! let me know how the reboot goes :)
[02:45] <micca> lol at ice-nine 's solution: why so bad to set a root password ;p
[02:45] <MenZa> andy_→ there shouldn't be an issue. I have two.
[02:45] <wonderpoop> nobody knows do they?
[02:46] <TunnlRat> Alright hopefully my computer doesn't go up in smoke if not i'll be back in a couple mins lol
[02:46] <MenZa> wonderpoop→ that depends what login options you're talking about.
[02:46] <andy_> ok..thanks..and with dual monitors?
[02:46] <MenZa> andy_→ should work excellently - which graphics card do you have?
[02:46] <type_generic> jonathan_: alright, found some info on the internet, thanks for the help!
[02:47] <andy_> ati 3450 HD
[02:47] <wonderpoop> well all this waiting i probably could just redo the entire thing from scratch again eh?
[02:47] <Iceman_B^Ltop> !root | Iceman_B^Ltop
[02:47] <MenZa> andy_→ ATI I don't know much about. I suggest a quick Google with the terms 'ATI 3450 HD ubuntu dual' or similar
[02:47] <SeaPhor> andy_, for dual monitors, i have a few in my channel that can help if you need
[02:47] <micca> hmmm, where are alternative lampo installations of mysql MenZa , because now when I follow that guide.. I cant start mysqld as its not in user/sbin or so
[02:48] <jonathan__> type_generic: well I hope it works, I am no expert, perhaps you did not specify your gateway correctly or something?
[02:48] <SvenZ> I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcard, how do I configure it to work on ubuntu?
[02:48] <andy_> ok thanks..
[02:48] <YellowRed> Would someone be able to assist me with a printer issue?
[02:48] <MenZa> micca→ it should be in /etc/init.d/mysql
[02:48] <micca> oki
[02:48] <MenZa> YellowRed→ Might want to ask the question stating which printer, which issue, and what you've done to resolve it first
[02:48] <MenZa> YellowRed→ that way, people can buy in if they know anything about it
[02:49] <micca> still command not found :/
[02:49] <andy_> seaphor channel pls?
[02:49] <kaveh> anyone able to help me with firefox? it wouldnt save any user data, a few googled solutions said to delete a folder "leters/numbers.default" and "profile.ini" then completely remove and install firefox. i just updated ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 and my graphics driver was removed - reinstalling it will remove xserver-desktop and firefox is now not working because it wants to create a user profile, once created (wont create in its
[02:49] <kaveh>  intended place, had to create on desktop) it fails to initialize security components
[02:49] <|toad> does anyone know how to troubleshoot bluetooth?
[02:49] <MenZa> micca→ um, sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start should start it
[02:49] <TunnlRat> Yaaaay my wireless networking is enabled lol
[02:49] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ huzzah!
[02:49] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ happy WoW'ing :)
[02:49] <micca> MenZa, negative: commmand not found
[02:49] <TunnlRat> lol one question now though
[02:49] <MenZa> micca→ ...where did you install mysql from?
[02:50] <micca> one sec
[02:50] <MenZa> micca→ assuming you installed it from the repositories, that is where the binary should be.
[02:50] <TunnlRat> how do i tell the wireless card what network to connect to i have the wpa key for my router
[02:50] <micca> MenZa, I used this command: sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[02:50] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ you click it and press the wireless network you wish to connect
[02:50] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ then you insert the key when asked for it
[02:51] <MenZa> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=linkto%3A%22ApacheMySQLPHP%22 <- micca, I don't know much about tasksel, but I've used this guide numerous times to get MySQL, Apache and PHP running.
[02:51] <TunnlRat> hrmm there are no wireless networks showing and i know there are at least 4 within range including mine
[02:51] <micca> okidokie.. cheers
[02:51] <Jeruvy> MenZa: mysqld
[02:51] <MenZa> Jeruvy→ positive?
[02:51] <MenZa> I'm pretty sure it's not mysqld
[02:51] <SvenZ> I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcard, how do I configure it to work on ubuntu?
[02:51] <MenZa> !soundblaster | SvenZ
[02:52] <SvenZ> thanks MenZa
[02:52] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ and... you're connected how, currently?
[02:52] <SvenZ> :thumbsup:
[02:52] <TunnlRat> still wired
[02:52] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ can you connect to your wireless networks if you connect to one specifically?
[02:52] <micca> MenZa, this is the one I used: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP the one you linked didnt give a specific goot hit
[02:52] <MenZa> micca→ well, that's what I mean
[02:52] <TunnlRat> i could with windows though maybe not this way
[02:53] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ you should have a list of networks when you click it.
[02:53] <micca> yup but according to that one MenZa I use the ocmmmand I gave you.. then it says to do mysql -u root (which I couldnt until I added @localhost) then I can get in.. then when I try to set the password witht hat command SET PASSWORD etc.. it just wont work :/
[02:53] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ could you pastebin the following: output of `dmesg`, as well as /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[02:53] <MenZa> sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf
[02:53] <MenZa> err.
[02:54] <TunnlRat> on the front of my laptop there is a slide button that you can us in windows enable/disable the wifi
[02:54] <micca> and when I went to that reset page.. I could stop the daemon.. but for some reason
[02:54] <MenZa> ignore that
[02:54] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ and it's enabled?
[02:54] <micca> I do whereis mysqld it is indeed in /usr/sbin, yet it doesn't want to start from there
[02:54] <ghang> what should i do when this hapen ? ---->  mount: /media/cdrom0 is not a block device
[02:54] <lakeoftea> much love to ubuntu lol
[02:54] <micca> i guess maybe my shell has wrong start
[02:54] <micca> blah
[02:54] <micca> ok brb
[02:55] <MenZa> the only real advice I can give you is to remove the task, micca
[02:55] <MenZa> and install each package manually
[02:55] <TunnlRat> you want me to paste that in a private window right
[02:55] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ no, use a pastebin
[02:55] <lstarnes> ghang: flip /dev/devicename and /media/devicename in the command
[02:55] <MenZa> !pastebin > TunnlRat
[02:55] <TunnlRat> ohhhh okay
[02:55] <Anon8779> hoohohlllalal
[02:55] <MenZa> meh, I'm up at 4 am, may as well get me some coffee
[02:55] <micca> AHA!!! it was cos the site specified usr/bin not usr/sbin where it got installed into
[02:55] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ make sure you highlight my nick with each paste - I'll be back in a second.
[02:56] <ghang> lstarnes, what i  do was  , ---> mount -t iso9660 /media/cdrom0 /***.iso
[02:56] <alaa> alaa:السلام عليكم
[02:56] <Jeruvy> micca: mysqladmin -u root -h host_name password "newpassword" for sure works.
[02:56] <lstarnes> ghang: mount -t iso9660 /path/to/filename.iso /media/cdrom0
[02:57] <alaa> hello
[02:57] <lstarnes> ghang: the mount point comes after the device or image
[02:57] <Jeruvy> micca: then /etc/init.d/mysql restart, then try to login
[02:57] <ghang> debian:/home/ghang# mount -t iso9660 /depot/debian-500-amd64-DVD-1.iso /cdrom ||||||||||  mount: /depot/debian-500-amd64-DVD-1.iso is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
[02:57] <linduxed1> is there a way to prepend a certain string to filenames?
[02:57] <SvenZ> MenZa | it told me to type "aplaymidi -l" into the terminal, but im still not hearing any audio. Preferences | Sound --> is set to Autodetect...
[02:57] <ghang> lstarnes     debian:/home/ghang# mount -t iso9660 /depot/debian-500-amd64-DVD-1.iso /cdrom ||||||||||  mount: /depot/debian-500-amd64-DVD-1.iso is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
[02:57] <micca> Jeruvy,  NOW THAT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING INDEED (i think i agree it will work.. let me give u a feedback here)
[02:58] <|toad> !bluetooth
[02:58] <linduxed1> right now im going through a ton of files going "mv file1.txt appfile1.txt
[02:58] <lstarnes> ghang: add '-o loop' (without ' marks) between '-t iso9660' and the .iso's path
[02:59] <micca> LOL Jeruvy : it says error: access denied :/
[02:59] <micca> and i did the reset thing
[02:59] <linduxed> i just want to add that "app" thing in front to everything in a folder
[02:59] <micca> it just went back to how i just had it when i got it default installed
[02:59] <ghang> i think i done , thanks for help Istarnes
[02:59] <micca> ok nvm.. I will brb @ gonna figure this out hopefully
[02:59] <Jeruvy> micca: try prepending it with 'sudo'
[02:59] <micca> i did
[03:00] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ back.
[03:01] <micca> OK progress
[03:01] <TunnlRat> menza: alright when i did dmesg it comes up with so much stuff i couldn't even see it all
[03:01] <micca> I did instead
[03:01] <micca> sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root@localhost password "password" then I got a reply: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: Can't turn off logging; error: 'Access denied; you need the SUPER privilege for this operation' ideas Jeruvy ?
[03:01] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ a word of advice; you can output the stuff from dmesg to a file with `dmesg > filename.txt` - then you can open it in gedit (gedit filename.txt)
[03:02] <etzerd> hello all
[03:02] <MenZa> hi, etzerd
[03:02] <micca> lla olleh
[03:02] <Jeruvy> micca: sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost -p "password"
[03:03] <etzerd> I have a USB modem from Verizon Wireless, I can use it to browse the internet wherever I go. How can I get it to work using ubuntu?
[03:03] <MenZa> etzerd→ It doesn't work out of the box?
[03:03] <micca> but Jeruvy : NO password has been SET yet
[03:03] <shadowblade> !ipmasq
[03:03] <micca> !cries
[03:03] <micca> :p
[03:03] <micca> !giving up
[03:03] <micca> :P
[03:03] <micca> (sorry)
[03:04] <Jeruvy> micca: did you restart mysql?
[03:04] <TunnlRat> menza: do i just give you the url it gave me for the pasted item?
[03:04] <micca> yes
[03:04] <MenZa> micca→ please, don't trigger the bot when you have no point
[03:04] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ yup
[03:04] <micca> sorry MenZa , was just getting frustrated
[03:04] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I just realised - in the future - there's a package you can install (pastebinit) which will help you pastebin things directly from the terminal.
[03:04] <etzerd> menZa: I know. It comes with a cd that included the drivers from Verizon. My question is can it works with ubuntu? because saturday I'm traveling to LA I will like to use it using ubuntu instead of windows.
[03:05] <SeaPhor> micca, its /me typehere
[03:05] <TunnlRat> okay so to send this only to you i just have to have your named highlighted right
[03:05] <MenZa> etzerd→ good question, let's find out - first, do lspci in a terminal and give me the name of the device
[03:05] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ just paste the link here. :)
[03:05] <lxd> hello everyone
[03:05] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ it contains no private information or anything of that sort.
[03:05] <etzerd> menZa: give me one second
[03:05] <FrozenFire> Is it possible to, using SSH, launch a session on a remote system, and then use Gnome? X11 forwarding seems to work quite well on a single application basis, but I want to launch my entire workspace.
[03:05] <TunnlRat> hehe true
[03:05] <MenZa> FrozenFire→ No. You need VNC for that.
[03:06] <TunnlRat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/143222/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/143223/
[03:06] <lxd> 大家好
[03:06] <Doonz> hey guys im having troucble mapping a drive from my ubuntu server to my ubuntu lapto
[03:06] <micca> SeaPhor, no i know.. I just put words into the bot's mouth
[03:06] <Doonz> someone point me to a tutorial?
[03:06] <SeaPhor> FrozenFire, Tightvnc works well
[03:06] <FrozenFire> MenZa: Are you sure? If I cannot do it via Gnome, I'll just launch single applications with X11
[03:06] <micca> ok Jeruvy : what is the name of the grant table in which root resides? I ll try to update the fricking entries manually
[03:06] <FrozenFire> I don't want to use VNC, in this case.
[03:06] <MenZa> FrozenFire→ For what reason?
[03:07] <CHC> i'm having a strange problem in ubuntu 8.10 where some programs because full screen and i cannot exit it without alt-tabbing because there is no exit, etc, this happed to me on firefox(its not using its full screen option) and KRDC, the only way i got firefox out of it was going to view > fullscreen then unsetting it, because F11 seemed not to do anything, as for KRDC i don't know what i can do about it
[03:07] <MenZa> FrozenFire→ Security?
[03:07] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ one second.
[03:07] <FrozenFire> MenZa: There are a few, but I'd rather not get into them.
[03:07] <TunnlRat> kk
[03:07] <MenZa> FrozenFire→ Right. If it's security you're worried about, you can tunnel VNC through ssh.
[03:07] <Jeruvy> micca: I'm out of ideas.   Maybe the experts in #mysql can be more help.
[03:07] <FrozenFire> MenZa: It's not a security issue. The systems will be on a closed network, via a switch
[03:07]  * micca hits his head... thanks for all the help Jeruvy  and MenZa
[03:08] <micca> eh.. i cant join the channel???
[03:08] <opera> 退格建
[03:08] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ It appears to time out when attempting to connect to your hardware. Try running sudo iwconfig and pastebin the output (you can, like I mentioned before, run sudo apt-get install pastebinit, then simply run: sudo iwconfig | pastebinit)
[03:08] <Jeruvy> micca: you need to be identified to join certain channels on freenode
[03:08] <FrozenFire> Next question. Is there a simple interface for setting up and managing a router from within Ubuntu. That is, Ubuntu running a DHCP server, firewall, etc.
[03:08] <micca> got ya
[03:10] <MenZa> there's ipcop, FrozenFire, but I'm not sure how it works.
[03:10] <SeaPhor> TunnlRat, just type the fiest 3-4 letters of the nick you're talking to and hit the Tab key, example: type tunn and hit the Tab key
[03:10] <MenZa> FrozenFire→ oops, apparently, it's a distro. My bad.
[03:10] <bobbob1016> Anyone know if powertop saying Ihave 150+/- interrupts per second is a bad thing?  And how I can fix it?  It gives me U - USB Suspend, but when I hit U it stays there.
[03:10] <SvenZ> MenZa, I entered some lines in gedit for the audio device, and saved and exited, but got this response
[03:10] <eseven73> FrozenFire, i think theres specific distros just for firewalls check distrowatch.com
[03:10] <SvenZ> (gedit:14516): WARNING **: Could not write gedit state file: Failed to create file '/root/.gnome2/gedit-2.S55VRU': No such file or directory
[03:10] <FrozenFire> Also, is there a way to configure my wireless connection as the preferred connection? Whenever I have my wireless network active, and my wired network active, network manager insists on using the wired connection.
[03:11] <MenZa> SvenZ→ I don't know anything about SoundBlaster cards, personally - sorry :(
[03:11] <MenZa> SvenZ→ try using a different editor - like nano.
[03:11] <MenZa> (and make sure you run it as sudo)
[03:11] <TunnlRat> MenZa, http://paste.ubuntu.com/143225/
[03:11] <SeaPhor> FrozenFire, thats because the wired is supposedly faster
[03:11] <SvenZ> i have no idea what im doing
[03:12] <FrozenFire> SeaPhor: In this case, wired is 256Kb/s, whereas wifi is 2MB/s
[03:12] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ is the name of your wireless network "i see you"?
[03:12] <TunnlRat> MenZa, lawl no thats my neighbours mine is "Masterrat"
[03:12] <Doonz> Ok not sure exactly what i need here. What is the best way to share folders from my Ubuntu-Server to my Windows machines and my Ubuntu laptops?
[03:12] <micca> hmm by the way.. when one is browsing through files with the GUI and wants to open them as root (sudo) how can I add that as an option within the gui?
[03:12] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ Ah. And you're positive nothing comes up when you press the networking icon on the top panel?
[03:12] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ your hardware seems ready to connect
[03:12] <Ububegin> I intend to upgrade from fiesty to gutsy.... do I need to backup my data... and are there any potential problems to take note of
[03:12] <micca> Doonz, Samba perhaps?
[03:12] <micca> !samba
[03:12] <mrwes> micca, run gksu nautilus
[03:13] <Doonz> is that the best one?
[03:13] <MenZa> micca→ you could write a script, or you could run nautilus with sudo - gksu nautilus
[03:13] <MenZa> absolutely, Doonz
[03:13] <Doonz> micca: is that the best option for me?
[03:13] <Doonz> ok
[03:13] <MenZa> Doonz→ samba is excellent.
[03:13] <shinichizio> !printing
[03:13] <juanjo> hi : )
[03:13] <MenZa> hello, juanjo
[03:13] <thewrath> cups sometimes can be difficult
[03:13] <SeaPhor> FrozenFire, do they both connect to the same router?, same default gateway/dhcp-server?
[03:13] <TunnlRat> MenZa,  when i left click the wireless networks thing is greyed out
[03:13] <Doonz> so now that i have samba installed and running on my fileserver. and i can access my share no problem on my vista/xp computers. How can i get it mapped on my ubuntu laptop
[03:13] <Jeruvy> Ububegin: upgrades are never recommended, but backup your /home directory to ensure nothing important dies.  If your running server you may need to be aware of other dirs in /var or /usr for instance.
[03:14] <micca> cheers mrwes and MenZa : and how do i Add that tha option as I only have the folders through the places in the taskbar (do i change it in my profile file or osmething?)
[03:14] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ interesting...
[03:14] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how do I display memory usages /
[03:14] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ?
[03:14] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ could you give me one second - I need a reboot
[03:14] <FrozenFire> SeaPhor: No, one goes to a very slow cable connection, the other goes to a business-grade connection.
[03:14] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ (Just upgraded to Jaunty Beta)
[03:14] <TunnlRat> MenZa, for sure
[03:14] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ shouldn't be a minute
[03:14] <FrozenFire> SeaPhor: They are two independent networks.
[03:14] <Ububegin> Jeruvy: never recommended.. O_O .... so you are saying i stick with fiesty
[03:14] <Jeruvy> Doonz: Plces -> Connect ot server, enter details.
[03:14] <Doonz> ok
[03:15] <simon-1> q
[03:15] <micca> ! I do not know what it means to ever have a break.. these ubuntu guys are killing me!
[03:15] <micca> darn
[03:15] <mrwes> Doonz, or you can mount the samba share in your /etc/fstab file
[03:15] <etzerd> MenZa: when I do lspci in a terminal the name of the USB Modem doesn't show up. It seem like Ubuntu does not identify the device
[03:15] <micca> ok ok ill stop
[03:15] <Doonz> Oh
[03:15] <SeaPhor> FrozenFire, interesting, i will lookinto that,,,, looking---
[03:15] <Doonz> mrwes can you point me to the tuorial
[03:15] <Jeruvy> Ububegin: not at all, but thats a choice you need to make.
[03:15] <JaPiFeiSs> any NTFS file recovery for Ubuntu
[03:16] <Jeruvy> !upgrade | Ububegin
[03:16] <mrwes> micca, add a desktop launcher to your desktop running gksu nautilus
[03:16] <micca> you're a star mrwes
[03:16] <Phrozen_One> How can I determine the usb speed capabilities of my hardware, and what connection speed my usb devices like my external hdd are currently at?

[03:19] <TunnlRat> MenZa, welcome back it appears i can try TELL it to join a hidden network and seems to find mine but i don't think its connecting
[03:20] <mrwes> Doonz, what did you call your share in samba?
[03:20] <Doonz> server
[03:20] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ hmm, this seems like an odd query, but try a reboot
[03:20] <TunnlRat> MenZa, alright will do
[03:20] <mrwes> Doonz, then change MyFiles to server
[03:20] <Doonz> okok
[03:20] <SeaPhor> FrozenFire, can you look a this file and make sure your wireless is first in the list?  sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[03:20] <mrwes> Doonz, and change the IP to match your server IP
[03:20] <Doonz> yep
[03:21] <micca> AH CRAP .. now I see why I could log in as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>cos mysql will let me log in as any user with -u EXCEPT root lol
[03:21] <mrwes> Doonz, and of course change the path of /home/xxx to match your username
[03:21] <FrozenFire> SeaPhor: I'm messing around with the network interfaces at the moment. I'm pretty sure network manager has a separate configuration file for wireless. I might disable network manager.
[03:21] <ezzieyguywuf> my xorg is consuming 95% of one of my cores. I'm running 8.10 with an ATI V5200. I've tried both the open source and the proprietery drivers and the problem persists. any help?

[03:24] <Doonz> done
[03:24] <mrwes> save the file
[03:24] <Doonz> done
[03:25] <mrwes> Doonz, lets make sure that file is ONLY rw by you -- for security

[03:27] <TunnlRat> MenZa, when i click up in the tray should it show under wireless networks, the name of the adapter like it does under wired network?
[03:28] <KeyserSoze> sorry for the stupid question, but is there a qt 4.5 package available somewhere for ubuntu?  i only see 4.4.3?
[03:28] <Doonz> mrwes: its giving me a bad fs
[03:28] <monkeyb> oops
[03:28] <KeyserSoze> i don't know how ubuntu package repositories work, like if there's an 'experimental' switch i can throw to get that package
[03:28] <mrwes> hrmm..
[03:28] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ Aye, it should.
[03:28] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ let me check something

[03:29] <YellowRed> let's try this again: I have recently installed a canon ip3500 printer, along with the linux drivers from canons website. When i print anything with colour, the colours are not aligned whatsoever. i plugged the printer into a xp machine, and it prints fine. I thought doing an alignment while plugged in to the windows machine would fix it, but after reconnecting the problems are the same. Help?
[03:29] <Doonz> you want me to paste my fstab as well
[03:30] <YellowRed> really quiet now...
[03:30] <mrwes> Doonz, pastebin the /etc/fstab
[03:30] <Doonz> think i found it
[03:30] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ can you press 'Connect to a Hidden Wireless Network...'?
[03:30] <TunnlRat> MenZa, yes i can
[03:30] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ ok. Try putting in the information it asks for on your network.
[03:31] <Doonz> mrwes: nope didnt here is everything http://pastebin.com/m21c6dd95
[03:31] <mrwes> k..hold
[03:32] <mrwes> Doonz, there are two //  in front of your IP
[03:32] <Doonz> oh
[03:32] <Doonz> brb
[03:32] <TunnlRat> MenZa, it shows at the top its trying to connect but never does
[03:32] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I thought as much.
[03:32] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ hmm, that's... quite odd.
[03:32] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ let me look around
[03:32] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ one second
[03:33] <TunnlRat> MenZa, it does pop up
[03:33] <mrwes> Doonz, and when you did a mkdir you used SharedFiles or Server ?
[03:33] <Doonz> mrwes: the extra / must be something pastebin
[03:33] <Doonz> added
[03:33] <Doonz> i used Server
[03:33] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ try right-clicking the icon, choose 'Edit Connections', hit wireless. is anything listed?
[03:33] <TunnlRat> MenZa, and say Authentication required by wireless network and asks for my wpa key
[03:33] <progenitus> Hello folks, what is the channel for Ubuntu developpment?
[03:33] <mrwes> ok  sudo mount -a
[03:33] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ oh?
[03:33] <Ropechoborra> I got a lot of entrys in my /var/log/message that say pr  2 23:32:20 RopHierr kernel: [ 3618.636309] eth0: PHY reset until link up.. What is that?
[03:33] <progenitus> I want to contribute
[03:33] <TunnlRat> MenZa, only thing listed is the masterrat one i just tried to get on
[03:34] <MenZa> progenitus→ there's about 20 of them. Depends what kind of development you're interested in contributing to :)
[03:34] <TunnlRat> MenZa, maybe my router needs to be changed
[03:34] <Doonz> mrwes: still doesnt like it
[03:34] <eseven73> progenitus, i believe its #Ubuntu-devel or -dev
[03:34] <mrwes> Doonz, same error?
[03:34] <dcamp25> anyone see java say Applet JVMDetect notinited
[03:34] <Doonz> yep
[03:34] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ do you see *any* wireless networks when you press the icon? If not, that sounds like the card to me... or the configuration.
[03:34] <TunnlRat> MenZa, nope i don't see any there at all its empty
[03:34] <progenitus> MenZa, programming :D
[03:35] <MenZa> progenitus→ I think your best shot is checking out launchpad
[03:35] <mrwes> Doonz, what fs is the share? ntfs or ext3?
[03:35] <MenZa> !launchpad > progenitus
[03:35] <Doonz> ext3
[03:35] <progenitus> MenZa, thank you
[03:35] <Doonz> i think
[03:35] <Doonz> let me check
[03:35] <TunnlRat> MenZa, shouldn't it automatically show every network within range?
[03:35] <mrwes> Doonz, hrmm..same here
[03:35] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ sounds like the card to me. The funny thing is, it appears to find a network with iwconfig
[03:35] <MenZa> it should, TunnlRat
[03:35] <Ropechoborra> MenZa, is there other way of contributing besides programming ?
[03:35] <progenitus> MenZa, thank you sir. Will check that out thoroughly :)
[03:35] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ try disabling the security on your router, temporarily
[03:35] <Iceman_B^Ltop> what file logs SSH remote connect attempts ?
[03:36] <MenZa> Ropechoborra→ there's marketing, translation, helping in here...
[03:36] <eseven73> progenitus, when you get famous, remember us ;)
[03:36] <TunnlRat> MenZa, well in windows the way this laptop is setup there is a spring switch to enable/disable the wifi and the light would come on the light is out and stays out
[03:36] <adfev> im going to use ubuntu, should i get 9.04 beta or 8.10?
[03:36] <Doonz> mrwes:  i can connect to the share through places -> connect to server
[03:36] <mrwes> Doonz, lets test your samba share by connecting via Nautilus   File | Connect to server
[03:36] <mrwes> heh...ahh
[03:36] <TunnlRat> MenZa, aight i will disable my wifi security for now and try
[03:36] <Doonz> :)
[03:36] <mrwes> heh
[03:36] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I have a similar switch, only mine is on... do you have an Fn keyboard shortcut that toggles it?
[03:36] <Iceman_B^Ltop> adfev: I'd say stick with 8.10 unless you're an expert linux user
[03:36] <jonathan__> adfev: probably 8.10
[03:36] <Doonz> can i get you the info somehow
[03:36] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ alternatively, is it off in your BIOS?
[03:36] <Ropechoborra> MenZa, and where can i look for more info?
[03:36] <dcamp25> any one seen Applet JVMDetect notinited in firefox
[03:36] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I'm not upgrading until Jaunty is out :)
[03:37] <MenZa> Ropechoborra→ the wiki is a good place to check out, as well as launchpad.net :)
[03:37] <progenitus> Jaunty runs great
[03:37] <MenZa> !wiki | Ropechoborra
[03:37] <progenitus> the beta is very stable
[03:37] <TunnlRat> MenZa, i don't believe i can shut it off in this bios if it is i didn't do it
[03:37] <progenitus> and much faster than intrepid, imho
[03:37] <MenZa> progenitus→ as long as you don't have an intel card :P
[03:37] <progenitus> nvidia :D
[03:37] <MenZa> (like I do)
[03:37] <MenZa> lucky
[03:37] <adfev> i have amd
[03:37] <mrwes> Doonz, look in dmesg | tail for error messages
[03:37] <Doonz> k
[03:38] <progenitus> ATI is starting to realize they need to put more effort into GNU/Linux
[03:38] <mrwes> Doonz, and also pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf
[03:38] <MenZa> progenitus→ Indeed - and as interesting a topic that is, it's not really relevant for #ubuntu - try #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[03:38] <kitche> progenitus: ATI is not realizing it AMD is but that's off topic
[03:38] <Doonz> http://pastebin.com/m706cd99d
[03:39] <Doonz> oh samba needs to be installed on my laptop
[03:39] <Doonz> not jsut the server
[03:39] <TunnlRat> MenZa, even with the security disabled it doesn't connect maybe i will shut down and check the bios
[03:39] <Iceman_B^Ltop> where can I see all the SSH login attempts ?
[03:39] <progenitus> MenZa, certainly.
[03:39] <mrwes> Doonz, [ 4198.612818] CIFS: UNC Path does not begin with // or \\   you sure there's not a space in front of // ?
[03:39] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ humm, how about the keyboard shortcut I talked about before?
[03:40] <Doonz> hmm
[03:40] <TunnlRat> MenZa, lol what keyboard shortcut don't remember that
[03:40] <adfev> how do wacom tablets work in 9.04?
[03:40] <mrwes> Iceman_B^Ltop, /var/log/auth.log
[03:40] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ look at your F-keys. one of them might have a beacon-like indicator which works with your Fn key.
[03:40] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ tell me, which laptop is this?
[03:40] <syockit> ack, they're all only 100cm wide. can't do much to cover me and my bag when cycling
[03:40] <TunnlRat> MenZa, its an acer aspire 5050
[03:41] <TunnlRat> MenZa, honestly it was a pain in the arse to get the wifi card back up and runing when i removed vista and went to xp
[03:41] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ er, could you just paste your *whole* lspci in a pastebin? I think we may have gone compleeetely wrong here.
[03:41] <TunnlRat> MenZa, kk one sec
[03:42] <margaret> ok i use kde in kubuntu I have a all in one hp do I need xsane when I have hplip toolbox?
[03:43] <TunnlRat> MenZa, how do i use that pastebin addon to past it up there now
[03:43] <Iceman_B^Ltop> mrwes: thanks. how big does the log usually grow for ?
[03:44] <ghcai> can a microkernel do proper parallellism? or microkernel has nothing to do with that?
[03:44] <mrwes> dunno
[03:44] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ lspci | pastebinit
[03:44] <blay_> o.O
[03:44] <ezzieyguywuf> my xorg is consuming 95% of one of my cores. I'm running 8.10 with an ATI V5200. I've tried both the open source and the proprietery drivers and the problem persists. any help?
[03:44] <MenZa> !offtopic | gchai
[03:44] <TunnlRat> MenZa, http://paste.ubuntu.com/143235/ alright thats where it is
[03:45] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ My line in lspci is 100% identical to that. I really cannot understand why it won't just. work.
[03:45] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ um, try doing sudo iwlist scanning
[03:46] <Iceman_B^Ltop> is there a norton commander like tool for the linux CLI ?
[03:46] <TunnlRat> MenZa, that came back "no scan results"
[03:46] <jrib> !info mc | Iceman_B^Ltop
[03:47] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ right. I have one last thing to try, even if it is a little bit dirty. first, remove the ath5k in /etc/modules
[03:47] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ no wait, one thing first
[03:47] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ try sudo modprobe ath5k
[03:48] <TunnlRat> MenZa, sudo modprobe ath5k did nothing
[03:48] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ it shouldn't give you any output. it just means it succeded in loading it
[03:48] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ try pressing the network icon again - anything? if not, try sudo iwlist scanning again
[03:49] <addison> can anyone help me with a grub and raid problem?
[03:49] <TunnlRat> MenZa, still same thing
[03:49] <slhommed> haha, I have a raid problem as well, nothing to do with grub though
[03:49] <slhommed> anyone know mdadm and raid5?
[03:49] <jdrake> What is the name of the application that allows you to install applications in gnome without the use of synaptic? I am not on linux presently to find out on that end, I am mainly after screenshots.
[03:49] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ alright. try sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ndisgtk
[03:49] <TunnlRat> MenZa, if the wifi card was turned off in the bios would it even show up in the lspci?
[03:50] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ that's a good point
[03:50] <TunnlRat> MenZa, LAWL i just used the Synaptic Package manager to download that ndisgtk
[03:50] <addison> I have vista and linux installed on my RAID 0 partition, but the vista boot loader is on my second drive (not sure why actually...) GRUB detected vista, but its not working right
[03:50] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ perfect :)
[03:50] <TunnlRat> MenZa, and wifi-radar
[03:50] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ try downloading the WINDOWS drivers from Acer's website
[03:51] <TunnlRat> MenZa, thats a bad idea
[03:51] <TunnlRat> MenZa, their drivers do not work
[03:51] <TunnlRat> MenZa, i actually have the working windows driver on a dvd that i burned before wiping the hd
[03:51] <TunnlRat> MenZa, i kept a windows copy of every driver specific to this laptop
[03:51] <xun> hello, could someone tell how I can check network activity in terminal?
[03:52] <jonathan__> xun: ifconfig
[03:52] <TunnlRat> MenZa, i will be right back i am going to reboot and check the bios even though i am sure the wifi card is enabled
[03:52] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ excellent. try opening ndisgtk and load the driver with that
[03:52] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ sure
[03:53] <xun> jonathan__, it shows real time network acitivity?
[03:53] <jonathan__> xun: no
[03:53] <usser> xun, sudo iftop
[03:54] <usser> xun, sudo iftop -i interfacename rather
[03:54] <hbx> hey anyone know of a good rar cracker
[03:54] <hbx> besides rarcrac
[03:54] <hbx> rarcrack
[03:54] <xun> usser, thank you!
[03:54] <usser> xun, np
[03:55] <jonathan__> usser: that's cool.  I might have written a perl script to process output of ifconfig
[03:55] <usser> jonathan__, opensource it :)
[03:56] <jdrake> ... or make it free software :p
[03:56] <Cashingout> hello
[03:56] <TunnlRat> MenZa, back
[03:56] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ wb
[03:56] <Cashingout> what is this for
[03:57] <CerberusChimera> Hi I having a problem to install the ubuntu on hard drive. The Gnome crash. And there appears no error message.
[03:57] <usser> !topic
[03:57] <TunnlRat> MenZa, lol the wifi radar doesn't even work just says "su-to-root" doesn't exsist
[03:57] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ ignore that for now :)
[03:57] <D4nT3> السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
[03:57] <MiraiWarren0_0> Hello, can someone tell me how to mount an external hard drive disk to give me full access as a regular user?
[03:57] <Cashingout> can someone give me a great topic to look at wikipedia
[03:57] <addison> how do i launch the partition manager
[03:57] <addison> ?
[03:57] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ try opening ndisgtk and load the driver.
[03:57] <MenZa> adiktd→ gksu gparted
[03:57] <MenZa> addison→ (or System → Administration → Partition Editor)
[03:57] <Cashingout> what kind of help do you guys give
[03:58] <MenZa> !fstab ± MiraiWarren0_0
[03:58] <MenZa> !fstab > MiraiWarren0_0
[03:58] <slhommed> addison "parted" is command line partition editor
[03:58] <Cashingout> can you people hear me
[03:58] <MenZa> Cashingout→ Help related to Ubuntu. Anything else is for other channels. :)
[03:58] <TunnlRat> MenZa, shall i install my windows file??
[03:58] <Cashingout> what  is ubuntu
[03:59] <MenZa> Cashingout→ A free operating system. Check http://ubuntu.com for more information.
[03:59] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ using ndisgtk, yes
[03:59] <CerberusChimera> MenZa: when I try to install the ubuntu the Gnome Crash
[03:59] <ajanus> how can i view the actual dmesg output in real time, not the watered down file in /var/log
[03:59] <redwyrm> how do you make gnome-screensaver lock the screen on suspend-resume?
[03:59] <slhommed> does anyone have any experience with mdadm and raid5?
[03:59] <ajanus> someone had given me a command once to do it, where i could see usb events and everything
[03:59] <TunnlRat> MenZa, interesting says Net5211 Hardware Present: yes
[04:00] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I don't know what Net5211 is
[04:00] <TunnlRat> MenZa, thats the name of the 802.11 file that works with this network card in windows
[04:00] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ Well, that's good. Try running sudo modprobe -r ath5k && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:00] <addison> how does grub reference hard drives
[04:00] <addison> ?
[04:01] <MenZa> !grub > addison
[04:01] <the10nitro> Is it possible to pull a single file in Git?
[04:02] <TunnlRat> MenZa, alright i ran both now i can't even try to connect to a hidden wifi netowkr
[04:02] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ alternatively, try echo "ndiswrapper" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules, then reboot
[04:02] <ajanus> can i view true dmesg output, all events
[04:02] <ajanus> i need to see the output from this driver
[04:04] <micca> ok this must be a fooking stupid question but i just started using ubuntu... how can i find in the synaptics like phpadmin etc... when i do a quick search i never get anything up :/
[04:04] <CerberusChimera> MenZa: can I install ubuntu via command line?
[04:04] <MenZa> micca→ you mean phpmyadmin?
[04:04] <slerder> Hey guys is there any way to how long a network interface card has been up and running? thanks
[04:04] <biggestchops> micca: quick search is no good
[04:04] <MenZa> CerberusChimera→ you can install it using the alternate CD
[04:04] <MenZa> !alternate | CerberusChimera
[04:05] <micca> ye MenZa .. and ok biggestchops  so just how DO I FIND a package sigh
[04:05] <biggestchops> micca: instead of doing the quick search where you type in the field that is immediately present
[04:05] <MenZa> micca→ personally I use apt-cache search
[04:05] <micca> ok
[04:05] <micca> ye os far ocmmandline has seemed vastly better
[04:05] <biggestchops> micca: click search, and use the dialog box that comes up
[04:05] <micca> ok biggestchops
[04:06] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ status?
[04:06] <biggestchops> i don't understand that quick search at all
[04:06] <TunnlRat> MenZa, still doesn't show the card under the wifi networks
[04:06] <micca> does the dialiogue search the hoghlighted sub settin on th eleft or if if im highlighting 'all' will it then search everywhere? also does * work as a wildcard?
[04:06]  * MenZa collapses.
[04:06] <TunnlRat> MenZa,  though i can try connect to hidden wifi again lol
[04:06] <CerberusChimera> The gnome crash when I try to install ubuntu...
[04:06] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ let me google for a sec
[04:06] <biggestchops> i think it only searches installed packages micca. i think if you use the drop down you can pick
[04:06] <micca> poor MenZa , i really dont know how u do it? do u get paid for this? :pp
[04:06] <TunnlRat> Shhhhh
[04:06] <TunnlRat> don't bother him
[04:07] <micca> installed? LOL i want to search anything BUT installed :p
[04:07] <micca> oki biggestchops  cheers
[04:07] <TunnlRat> he's converting me from windows xpism
[04:07] <biggestchops> later micca
[04:07] <micca> TunnlRat, i meant in general keeping it up to all of us
[04:07] <micca> not just you
[04:07] <micca> thanks biggestchops
[04:07] <MenZa> micca→ No, I just like the warm, fuzzy feeling I get when I resolve an issue.
[04:08] <TunnlRat> micca, oh i know i wish with the help he's given me so far already i could at min hand that man a steak!!
[04:08] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ blacklist ath_pci is still in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, yes?
[04:08] <TunnlRat> MenZa, yup yup
[04:09] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ there's a list of things you could try. first, the switch on your computer. flick it. "on" might mean "off" and vice versa. it's fairl confusing.
[04:09] <joshjtl> hey all,  does anyone use prelink, or preload?
[04:09] <TunnlRat> MenZa,  yeah its a spring loaded switch
[04:09] <TunnlRat> MenZa, in windows it will spam on the screen in big green wifi enabled and the light comes on
[04:10] <TunnlRat> MenZa, there is a blue tooth one beside it both are dark and cold and mocking me
[04:10] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ another option could be the keyboard switch I mentioned earlier, which you press in addition to the Fn key
[04:11] <micca> MenZa, you go girl!!!! :D good stuff
[04:11] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ and yeah, it won't do that in Linux
[04:11] <TunnlRat> MenZa, when i go to system>admin>hardware drivers there is an activated driver for my wifi card listed with a green light beside it
[04:11] <micca> and wow.. the search thing is starting to come together woohoo
[04:11] <micca> looks like comman line is not the only way to go
[04:11] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ aye, that should be deactivated by the blacklist-line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist - although I suppose it wouldn't hurt to hit 'deactivate'
[04:11] <TunnlRat> MenZa, ZOMG YOUR A GENOIUS!!!!!!
[04:11] <biggestchops> micca: watch your mouth!
[04:12] <micca> gosh TunnlRat  u been at that wifi for ages
[04:12] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ it worked?
[04:12] <micca> sorry ? it wasnt meant to be anything bad?
[04:12] <TunnlRat> MenZa, yeah!!! the function key reactivated it!
[04:12] <MenZa> holy moly, thank jebus
[04:12] <biggestchops> i'm playing.
[04:12] <slerder> Hey guys is there any way to how long a network interface card has been up and running? thanks
[04:12] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ excellent. :)
[04:12] <micca> it was meant as a frien
[04:12] <TunnlRat> Yaaaaaaaaay all hail Menza master of wifi!!!
[04:12] <micca> hehe well you got me :p
[04:12] <TunnlRat> woooooooot ty ty ty
[04:12] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ you're buying me a beer if I ever come around where you live. ;)
[04:12] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ not a problem. It's why I'm here. :)
[04:12] <micca> lol MenZa , that one deserves two beers!!!! ;)
[04:13] <biggestchops> i guess mock consternation is something there is no emoticon for
[04:13] <TunnlRat> MenZa, oh for sure!!!!!!!!!!! if your ever in the calgary alberta canada area
[04:13] <micca> constipation?
[04:13] <TunnlRat> MenZa, i owe ya lol
[04:13] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I'm glad it worked. Enjoy the fully-functional mobile laptop :)
[04:13] <biggestchops> i think there is one for that... :o
[04:13] <biggestchops> or thats my constipation face
[04:13] <TunnlRat> MenZa, oh i will now for the last and final very hard and probably not fun part lol
[04:14] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ I'm a bit sad you're running the ndiswrapper driver, though. If you're ever up for it, you could re-try the ath5k driver. It might've been the same issue causing it.
[04:14] <TunnlRat> MenZa,  i got Worldofwarcraft to run really well on my wife's desktop with an nvidia card this laptop however
[04:14] <evilGUI> Anyone ever heard of a Linux video exploit in mplayer or somthing?
[04:14] <TunnlRat> MenZa, i've heard very bad things about ati video cards and wine etc
[04:15] <evilGUI> I was wanting to know if it's safe to play a suspected infected file in Linux.
[04:15] <MenZa> TunnlRat→ Might want to continue the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic - you see how busy this place is, it gets flooded pretty easily.
[04:15] <Guest11196> Hey guys am trying to install Office 2007 using crossover and i keep getting an error
[04:15] <Guest11196> can u please help
[04:15] <MenZa> evilGUI→ As long as you run it as a user, I don't see a lot going wrong
[04:15] <evilGUI> MenZa: Alright, good to know.
[04:15] <chop> hey guys, i just installed open office 3.0. anyone know where the install path is? i can't find the executables :(
[04:15] <TunnlRat> MenZa, oh for sure from here i will probably end up on the winehq forums
[04:16] <MenZa> evilGUI→ The worst it could do is compromise your files, but I find it *highly* unlikely
[04:16] <biggestchops> locate openoffice
[04:16] <Guest11196> anyone can help me with office 2007 with crossover
[04:16] <Guest11196> i want to install it
[04:16] <Guest11196> but i keep getting an error
[04:16] <MenZa> Guest11196→ Patience is a virtue. Give it time before you ask again. :)
[04:16] <Guest11196> ok ok
[04:17] <SeaPhor> TunnlRat, if your up for it, Cedega works great on WOW and COH
[04:17] <MenZa> SeaPhor→ so does wine.
[04:17] <TunnlRat> SeaPhor, i got it to work very well with wine but my laptop is running an ati card
[04:17] <micca> im having iwne now hihi
[04:17] <SeaPhor> MenZa, i disagree
[04:17] <biggestchops> chop, did typing locate openoffice in the command line give you useful anything
[04:17] <TunnlRat> I got wow to run better with wine faster better looking that it ran in windows xp
[04:18] <TunnlRat> i am very impress with ubuntu
[04:18] <MenZa> SeaPhor→ well, considering it has a Platinum rating on the appdb, I just think you're having an isolated bad experience. :)
[04:18] <TunnlRat> erimpressed
[04:18] <micca> evilGUI, if the file is a windows binary you shoudl be fine.. given you are not runnign it through wine.. even then it shouldnt really be toooo dangerous as such but
