[06:27] <GodfatherofEire1> formode, keepsake, have either of you noticed a BIG problem with the bass levels in intrepid?
[06:27] <Spherous> Just needed to get myself the link to tell me how to restore grub :D
[06:27] <formode> fryguy,keepsake, it's in the process of moving the partition right now. :-P It would be wise to just let it finish for it's 3 hour thing?
[06:27] <jengc0il> i'm now IBEX user
[06:27] <formode> godfatherofeire1, Not at all.
[06:28] <transporter> keepsake: i did not understand what exactly the author of the thread tried to write and am bit confused
[06:28] <formode> godfatheroseire1, my sound is actually better then windows gives me.
[06:28] <derklempner> onetinsoldier: Yeah, it sometimes comes back after a few minutes, but it's been over five minutes now and doesn't seem like it's going to recover.
[06:28] <GodfatherofEire1> formode: why I switched from windows: I had no sound
[06:28] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: roger. i'm sorry to hear that
[06:28] <fryguy> GodfatherofEire1: ubuntu outputs bitperfect digital streams for me, just like it does in windows
[06:29] <formode> godfatherofeire1, then your one step father. :) Try using different settings in the sound preferences.
[06:29] <keepsake> formode: Definitely =P
[06:29] <keepsake> transporter: Can you link me to the thread, and tell me what command you're having problems with?
[06:29] <formode> keepsake. :( I wanted to osx86 my computer tonight, not tommorow. :-/
[06:29] <derklempner> onetinsoldier: Could it be an issue with my RAM?  I mixed types to go from 1GB to 1.5GB, and I'm thinking that may be the culprit.  I've had other odd happenings as well.
[06:29] <GodfatherofEire1> formode, unfortunately, I'd basically need a system-wide equalizer, but the only thing I know of for that is jackd, etc
[06:29] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: my only thought would be for you to rename(mv) your ~/.mozilla dir and see if that helps
[06:29] <acc_> Hi, #Ubuntu.  I'm trying to do an aptitude safe-upgrade on Hardy, but I'm unable to do so because I'm missing a gpg key to verify linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic.  I've Googled for at least an hour with no luck.  Any ideas where I might find it?
[06:29] <transporter> keepsake: sure here it is ......... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=687663&page=2
[06:30] <darkfuzion_> thats all in the network add part
[06:30] <darkfuzion_> thats in the network add part
[06:30] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: yes.. that could have something to do with your issues.
[06:30] <keepsake> transporter: What is the command you're having problems with?
[06:30] <formode> godfatherofeire1, I mean try changing your soundsystem. :) Pulse, Alsa, and oss all could yeild different results.
[06:30] <transporter> keepsake: the last one
[06:30] <keepsake> transporter: Can you paste that command?
[06:31] <derklempner> onetinsoldier: I figured as much, just wanted confirmation.  Thanks for the input.
[06:31] <transporter> k
[06:31] <GodfatherofEire1> formode: Oss is crackly, I removed pulsee, and ALSA is a little bass over driven it seems, but then again I'm running on a laptop
[06:31] <formode> Note to self, never, ever move a partition again. :-P
[06:31] <saranya> anyone know how to read dailythanthi in ubuntu
[06:31] <transporter> sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[06:31] <transporter> keepsake: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[06:31] <Lou_> Dec 18 09:43:44 lat-ws kernel: [25625.192700] nautilus[23198]: segfault at 746178 ip b72abd31 sp b39fee48 error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b723c000+158000]
[06:31] <formode> godfatherofeire1, Then that's probably the best you're going to get for now. :)
[06:31] <GodfatherofEire1> formode: yeah, I learned that the hard way yesterday
[06:32] <GodfatherofEire1> With the partition stuff that is
[06:32] <transporter> keepsake: and then i don't realize what the guy means by i added this as the last line
[06:32] <Lou_> What does that mean?
[06:32] <formode> godfatherofeire1, 4 hours to move 60gb? QQ My LAN is faster.
[06:32] <fryguy> Lou_: it means you probably have failing hardware
[06:32] <GodfatherofEire1> formode: well, at least you didnt lose that 60 gigs, like I lost mine cause of a screwed up partition
[06:33] <keepsake> transporter: Okay so, what you do is
[06:33] <saranya> how to read dailythanthi in ubuntu please tell me, i am the new user of ubuntu
[06:33] <GodfatherofEire1> My primary at that, and I had no back up
[06:33] <fryguy> formode: because you are dealing directly with partition tables, you can't do readahead or anything, so it's going to go slow, for safety's sake
[06:33] <Lou_> fryguy, does it say what hardware is failing?
[06:33] <DefamedPrawn>  ok, I have a 4Gig partition, with 4k used, and only 380Gig available. Why is that?
[06:33] <keepsake> transporter: Press Alt+F2, then type in "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"
[06:33] <formode> godfatherofeire, Actually, at this point, I kind of want to just delete it haha.
[06:33] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: you should run 'memtest86+.  apt-cache show memtest86+
[06:33] <transporter> keepsake: im sorry i did not understand ur question
[06:33] <b1n42y> hi all, installed a bunch of packages including bind, apache2, net work managers, sniffers, etc from standard repos now i cant ssh to desktop, browse internet etc, I do believe my hosts file is empty (by way of some network manager gui)
[06:33] <fryguy> Lou_: segfaults usually indicate cpu or ram failing or running out of spec
[06:33] <formode> fryguy, I understand that. :)
[06:33] <yowshi1> anyone know any goiod programmes for helping one build a webpage?
[06:33] <ce_ePhezn> konnichiwa
[06:33] <fryguy> yowshi1: vim is a nice editor
[06:34] <keepsake> transporter: So first paste that command and run it, do you get a gedit window?
[06:34] <Lou_> fryguy, spec?
[06:34] <dwelz> vim is the shit
[06:34] <DefamedPrawn>  ok, I have a 400Gig partition, with 4k used, and only 380Gig available. Why is that?
[06:34] <fryguy> Lou_: specification
[06:34] <fryguy> Lou_: running overclocked, too hot, etc
[06:34] <keepsake> !jp | ce_ePhezn
[06:34] <yowshi1> fryguy: i use gedit but i was thinking omre like dreamweaver
[06:34] <transporter> keepsake: could not find the command
[06:34] <keepsake> transporter: Press alt+f2
[06:34] <jimmio> Hello all, any issues with QEMU and USB?... I'm installing Windows in QEMU just to sync my iPhone 3G...
[06:34] <fryguy> DefamedPrawn: the filesystem reserves 5% of the partition for system use
[06:34] <saranya> no one there  to answer my question ah
[06:34] <keepsake> transporter: Do you see a run application popup?
[06:34] <Lou_> fryguy, ok. Many thanks.
[06:34] <transporter> yes
[06:34] <DefamedPrawn> fryguy 20gig? I feel ripped off!
[06:35] <formode> jimmio, xD I'm still trying to get my ipod touch first gen to work haha
[06:35] <fryguy> Lou_: there could be other causes, but that's the most likely cause
[06:35] <keepsake> transporter: Type in "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"
[06:35] <Lou_> Ok, thanks.
[06:35] <transporter> keepsake: k done :D
[06:35] <ruhaan_jslip_> is there a download manger for ubuntu that is similar to flashget?
[06:35] <keepsake> transporter: Do you see a text-editor window?
[06:35] <transporter> keepsake: yes
[06:35] <b1n42y> ruhaan_jslip_: i know theres kget for kde desktop
[06:35] <GodfatherofEire1> Also, would I have any serious problems with rezizing a partition back to its original size? Like, I have a partition with Windoze (ACK), 20 gigs, would It be fine if I just removed it, and resized /dev/sda1 or would that screw me over royally. Again
[06:36] <keepsake> transporter: Okay, scroll alllll the way down, and then at the very end of the file
[06:36] <jimmio> formode: iTouch and iPhone is encrypted, much like Microsoft's Zune is... so, yeah, Ubuntu is out of the question right now.
[06:36] <transporter> keepsake: k
[06:36] <ruhaan_jslip_> b1n42y: kget doesnt support mutiple threeads
[06:36] <onetinsoldier> DefamedPrawn: when you install ubuntu, if using the option to manually set up your partitions, you can change that percentage
[06:36] <keepsake> transporter: Paste this text "options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL"
[06:36] <keepsake> transporter: But replace model with the model you're workign with
[06:36] <formode> jimmio, Mhm. :) Pre 2.0 we could SSH in via a BSD subsystem, but that's it.
[06:36] <DefamedPrawn> onetinsoldier could I change it now with gparted?
[06:36] <keepsake> transporter: So you can try this "options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-ms7195-dig"
[06:36] <b1n42y> ruhaan_jslip_: dono then google linux download manager multiple thread support
[06:36] <WIGGMPk1> fryguy: segmentation faults are memory problems.. memory trying to write outside of its assigned locations.. trying to write to read only memory, etc
[06:37] <jimmio> formode: Now there's nothing?
[06:37] <formode> jimmio, so far. :-/
[06:37] <formode> jimmio, They changed the hashing.
[06:37] <jimmio> formode: I say we petition Apple... or boycott... or something =P
[06:37] <ruhaan_jslip_> i like d4x but it cany be minimized to tray
[06:37] <ruhaan_jslip_> which is a pita for me
[06:37] <fryguy> WIGGMPk1: memory is not the only hardware cause, an overclocked or overheating processor could cause it as well, as I just mentioned
[06:37] <formode> jimmio, I emailed steve jobs, got no reponse.
[06:38] <onetinsoldier> DefamedPrawn: hhmm, good question. actually, i would look at   man tune2fs
[06:38] <transporter> keepsake: k done
[06:38] <transporter> keepsake: now what do i do?
[06:38] <Neff1> anyone know why the installer would skip over "preparing partitions" and go to partition screen
[06:38] <Neff1> i'm using 8.10
[06:38] <jimmio> formode: Unless you're Mr. DevelopersDevelopersDevelopers, you're not going to.
[06:39] <fryguy> Neff1: ?
[06:39] <formode> jimmio, It's generally worth a try. :)
[06:39] <keepsake> transporter: Restart, and see if things work.
[06:39] <GodfatherofEire1> Also, does anybody in here know of a bootable (i.e. iso image or something similar) that I could use to remove a partion on my HD, and then resize the primary partition?
[06:39] <fryguy> Neff1: that doesn't make sense to me
[06:39] <fryguy> GodfatherofEire1: gparted has a livecd
[06:39] <onetinsoldier> DefamedPrawn: yes... with  tune2fs you 'can' change it.  it's -m option
[06:39] <transporter> keepsake: k will u be here?
[06:39] <yowshi1> fryguy: no? hmmm know any decent html guides for people who dcont know anythng about html?
[06:39] <psypher246> hi all, pls any assistance would be great. i have a completely unusable work PC right now. Cannot browse the internet on either Opera, epiphany or firefox. Since 2 weeks ago my browser just crashes all the time. I have tried safe mode, new profile, re-install ff, all plugins disabled, uninstall java, uninstall flash and a heavy system stress test. Nothing works. FF and other browsers will still randomly crash. I have started a forum post on the probl
[06:39] <b1n42y> Neff1: computers have a tendancy to do what they are told, mabye select a different radio box and watch your next button clicks, they are placed in the same spot on most pages during install
[06:39] <DefamedPrawn> onetinsoldier ta!
[06:39] <GodfatherofEire1> fryguy, thanks
[06:39] <psypher246> just repeating in case anyone has any new ideas
[06:39] <psypher246> tired disbaling compiz, does not work
[06:39] <fryguy> yowshi1: www.w3.org
[06:40] <onetinsoldier> DefamedPrawn: :-)
[06:40] <keepsake> transporter: Dunno, maybe =P
[06:40] <Neff1> fryguy: when you go to install, it will bring up the "prepare partition right?
[06:40] <transporter> keepsake: sweet answer
[06:40] <jimmio> formode: I should bring my laptop (Ubuntu 8.10) in to a Mac [genius] and say "It won't f___ing work! Fix it!" and watch as they go "Oh, it's not supported. Sorry. Buy a mac?"
[06:40] <transporter> keepsake: really brother stay i will be back and meet u in private chat
[06:40] <transporter> :p
[06:40] <GodfatherofEire1> fryguy, it shouldnt cause any problems, correct? Like mismatch between the physical reading and the superblock? cause I just lost all my data the other night to that problem.
[06:40] <WIGGMPk1> fryguy: have to disagree with you there.. sometimes (rarely) would it be caused by a faulty piece of hardware, but it is usually ( 9 out of 10 ) times directly related to memory writing where it shouldnt be.. usually caused by the program using bogus pointers
[06:40] <fryguy> jimmio: what would be the point of that?
[06:40] <keepsake> transporter: okay =P I'll try
[06:40] <yowshi1> fryguy: thats not a nice guide thats a complicated thingy thing where i dont know where to start
[06:40] <juancabrito> can i partition my disk from inside ubuntu to create a new one to install windows, maybe with vmware?
[06:41] <WIGGMPk1> juancabrito: you can create a virtual hard drive with VMWare to install an OS
[06:41] <RazorFTW|Styles> hey
[06:41] <jimmio> fryguy: To prove how horrible things are getting... everything should work with everything. Write one industry standard binary driver, and have all OS's support it. Done.
[06:41] <RazorFTW|Styles> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an iBook, and I'm having a problem... (ErrorNo: 5).
[06:41] <fryguy> WIGGMPk1: a segfault in a very common well known and tested mature application (like nautilus in this case), is pretty unlikely, which is why i suggested hardware failure first, and then mentioned the potential for other causes
[06:41] <RazorFTW|Styles> I/O Error
[06:41] <ce_ePhezn> hello
[06:41] <Until_It_Sleeps> How do I install this: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70428&forumpage=0
[06:42] <darkfuzion_> wonders if i should install wine and make a full switch to linux
[06:42] <fryguy> jimmio: that's never been the case, and that will never be the case, and it's foolish to think so.
[06:42] <GodfatherofEire1> jimmio: then capitalism/competitive free markets would be in trouble
[06:42] <fryguy> jimmio: and if it WERE the case, things would probably be pretty bad
[06:42] <mylogic> do it darkfuzion_!
[06:42] <fryguy> jimmio: systems are built for different uses
[06:42] <juancabrito> WIGGMPk1: I know, but I was wandering if that could help improving the performance
[06:43] <WIGGMPk1> juancabrito: create a fixed disc image instead of using a dynamically expanding image and it would speed things up
[06:43] <jimmio> fryguy: I'm just sick of NEVER being able to use my OS of choice easily to do something that's "standard" stuff on Windows or Mac...
[06:43] <WIGGMPk1> juancabrito: plus, how much memory are you assigning to the VM, how many cores does your processor have.. its NOT going to run like a native install
[06:43] <Until_It_Sleeps> Help? Please?
[06:43] <_2> darkfuzion_ being new to it. i would sujest you dual boot for a while.   you can remove windows completely after you are comfortable with linux enough to fix your own oops's .
[06:43] <fryguy> jimmio: so pick one OS and stick to it
[06:43] <darkfuzion_> yeah
[06:44] <darkfuzion_> i agree
[06:44] <dongs> haha.. well now that network works, where's a not-5-years-outdated howto on setting up internet connection sharing?
[06:44] <jimmio> fryguy: Ubuntu. But wait, I have an iPhone! So both Ubuntu and Windows.
[06:44] <fryguy> or become a software engineer who deals with low-level APIs of multiple operating systems on a daily basis
[06:44] <b1n42y> !internet
[06:44] <WIGGMPk1> fryguy: true, I understand where your going with it.. but Windows XP SP2 is known and tested OS but it doesnt mean its not going to blue screen and not be the OS's fault
[06:44] <b1n42y> asif
[06:44] <_2> dongs why does the age of the howto matter ?
[06:44] <b1n42y> !network
[06:45] <fryguy> WIGGMPk1: it's very very rare for windows to blue screen due to something other than a hardware problem
[06:45] <WIGGMPk1> fryguy: just trying to say, most commonly, the problem is memory and the usage of it
[06:45] <GodfatherofEire1> fryguy: that gparted thing shouldnt screw up the superblock should it? Cause I lost all my data to that problem last night due to a faulty partition
[06:45] <dongs> _2: if it talks about 2.0 kernels, yes
[06:45] <juancabrito> WIGGMPk1: ok. Can I change to a fixed disk my current image?
[06:45] <sidhrt> My usb hard drive is not getting detected. anyone help, please...
[06:45] <_2> dongs whatever.
[06:45] <fryguy> GodfatherofEire1: it shouldn't, but they have warnings around every piece of partitioning software to make backups for a reason
[06:45] <keepsake> sidhrt: dmesg in Terminal and pastebin.
[06:45] <WIGGMPk1> juancabrito: that option has to be selected when you create the virtual disk
[06:45] <_2> dongs have a look at  http://howtoforge.com
[06:45] <GodfatherofEire1> fryguy, true that
[06:45] <_2> or is it .org
[06:45] <dongs> _2: okay ill go use ipchains right now
[06:46] <RazorFTW|Styles> Whenever I try to install Ubuntu on an iBook, it comes up with Errorno 5 (Input/Ouput Error) while installing. I'm using the PPC version... and I want to idealy if possiblej ust remove OSX
[06:46] <dongs> i was trying to remember waht the network shit was called in 1.2/1.3 but i forgot.
[06:46] <dongs> i dont think it was ipchains then.
[06:46] <dongs> somethign even more ridiculous.
[06:46] <fryguy> RazorFTW|Styles: you don't want to just remove OSX, you need it for some things still (firmware updates notably, also some disk management stuff you can only do in OSX)
[06:46] <WIGGMPk1> fryguy: how is my statement any less true than? its more rare for a hardware problem to cause a seg fault than it is for a memory problem instead the OS or application
[06:46] <robquad> hey all, is there a lamp server metapackage?
[06:46] <WIGGMPk1> fryguy: anyway, this is getting off the rails.. good conversation.. thanks
[06:47] <fryguy> WIGGMPk1: 99% of bluescreens in windows are hardware problems
[06:47] <RazorFTW|Styles> fryguy, why can't I Just remove OSX Completely and let ubuntu handle it?
[06:47] <_2> !lamp | robquad
[06:47] <fryguy> RazorFTW|Styles: because ubuntu doesn't know how to upgrade firmware on mac hardware, since it's not standard x86 stuff
[06:47] <fryguy> RazorFTW|Styles: Macs don't have a bios
[06:48] <RazorFTW|Styles> This mac is only going to be used for surfing the web.. well I want to make a linux comp but yea
[06:48] <sidhrt> keepsake: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87591/
[06:48] <RazorFTW|Styles> Why would that matter fryguy , (serioulsy just asking) :P
[06:48] <fryguy> RazorFTW|Styles: so then do that, why waste time removing another operating system
[06:48] <robquad> _2: My friend hit enter instead of space on the ubuntu server install where it asks what to install. is there a quicker way than reinstalling?
[06:48] <RazorFTW|Styles> fryguy, the hd is very small.
[06:48] <keepsake> sidhrt: Have you tried unplugging/reinserting the USB key?
[06:48] <fryguy> robquad: reinstalling takes like less than 10 minutes, it's probably faster than whatever else you want to do
[06:48] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion_: so what did you end up doing to get xorg working at maximum performance?
[06:48] <keepsake> sidhrt: USB drive*
[06:48] <RazorFTW|Styles> fryguy, but it is giving me an IO err thats the main issue.. idk wh
[06:48] <RazorFTW|Styles> why*
[06:49] <fryguy> RazorFTW|Styles: ubuntu needs like less than 10GB to run
[06:49] <_2> robquad did you look at the page ?
[06:49] <RazorFTW|Styles> fryguy, I'm aware.
[06:49] <sidhrt> keepsake: yes. i have tried. it was working fine till yesterday.
[06:49] <RazorFTW|Styles> fryguy, but reguardless, even just trying to install it alongside osx it gives me an io err.r
[06:49] <PaddyMullen> I think I screwed up apt-get/python by trying to compile my own python
[06:49] <fryguy> PaddyMullen: probably
[06:49] <PaddyMullen> I'm trying to remove everything that I can and start from close to scratch
[06:49] <RazorFTW|Styles> PaddyMullen, i've done that haha
[06:49] <RazorFTW|Styles> wasn't fun to fix :P
[06:49] <fryguy> PaddyMullen: dpkg -f
[06:50] <RazorFTW|Styles> di it on a nix too haha
[06:50] <keepsake> sidhrt: Try "rmmod -f ehci_hcd" and see if that allows connection
[06:50] <robquad> fryguy: so there's no package that sets all of that up?
[06:50] <RazorFTW|Styles> like, err a server coloed somewhere
[06:50] <bzwingzero> Is there any way to force ubuntu to always start in safe graphics mode or force software rendering. My video card is shot and if it attempts hware rendering the entire machine crashes.
[06:50] <fryguy> robquad: no idea
[06:50] <fryguy> robquad: since you haven't set anything up yet, it's probably easier to just reinstall
[06:50] <_2> robquad at any rate, for install.  sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql
[06:50] <robquad> _2: yes, but it'll take like half an hour to do all of that, versus just a minute for an apt-get install or ten to fifteen for a full install
[06:50] <sidhrt> keepsake: it says operation not permitted
[06:51] <fryguy> sidhrt: sudo
[06:51] <robquad> _2: that's not the same thing, actually....
[06:51] <keepsake> sidhrt: sudo, sorry
[06:51] <robquad> _2: got it anyway, thanks though
[06:51] <onetinsoldier> bzwingzero: so you can't get into your window-manager at all right now?
[06:52] <keepsake> sidhrt: I find ehci_hcd kind of unreliable, sometimes it works perfectly, other times it doesn't work at all.
[06:52] <sidhrt> keepsake: nothing happened.
[06:52] <onetinsoldier> bzwingzero: are wanting to be at console level only?
[06:52] <bzwingzero> onetinsoldier: sometimes I can but often after running for awhile it dies... taking the system with it.
[06:52] <keepsake> sidhrt: Try connecting your USB drive again
[06:52] <RazorFTW|Styles> fryguy, on startup I get "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Deamond. Some things, such as tehemes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. Last error message was: did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security polcy blocked the reply, the reply timedout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[06:52] <fryguy> bzwingzero: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the vesa driver
[06:53] <onetinsoldier> bzwingzero: so do you want console runlevel only?
[06:53] <bzwingzero> onetinsoldier: I'd prefer to have X, and I know it runs fine in safe graphics (while on a live disk)
[06:53] <keanu> I have a bug - isn't too big of a deal, but thought i'd let everyone know - http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1229582834oj2.png

[06:53] <bzwingzero> fryguy: will do. Thanks.
[06:54] <sidhrt> keepsake: no result.
[06:54] <keanu> fryguy, how can it say it's running on AC and running on battery at the same time?
[06:54] <the_newbie> I need help, how can I play a dvd in my computer?
[06:54] <keepsake> sidhrt: Can you post another dmesg?
[06:54] <eatThisAndDie> keanu: did you just apt-get something?
[06:54] <fryguy> keanu: the first message was a timed message that disappears after a few seconds
[06:54] <keanu> fryguy, yeah
[06:54] <darkfuzion_> you opem totem player
[06:55] <fryguy> keanu: so it's not saying them at the same time, it's a residual message from before
[06:55] <keanu> eatThisAndDie, think you highlighted the wrong person ;)
[06:55] <onetinsoldier> bzwingzero: i am wondering if that'd the same thing as using the 'vesa' driver
[06:55] <the_newbie> when movie player tries to play the dvd, there is an error, where can I get the right codecs?
[06:55] <bzwingzero> onetinsoldier: from what i've researched, i'm pretty sure it is.
[06:55] <fryguy> the_newbie: ubuntu-restricted-extras has libdvdcss
[06:55] <sidhrt> keepsake: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87594/
[06:55] <eatThisAndDie> keanu: you're the one with the power-related bug rite/
[06:55] <darkfuzion_> it should ask to dowload codec
[06:55] <keanu> fryguy, not really - even when i disconnect the AC power, it still says that it's running off of AC
[06:55] <keanu> eatThisAndDie, yeah
[06:55] <psypher246> hey guys, wrt canonical support, they say 9-5. is that gmt?
[06:55] <the_newbie> fyguy, how can I install them?
[06:55] <onetinsoldier> bzwingzero: if it is then you can specify that as you xorg driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[06:55] <keanu> eatThisAndDie, no, i haven't apt-get'd anything recently
[06:56] <fryguy> keanu: then your board is apparently doing acpi stuff wrong, file a bug in launchpad
[06:56] <the_newbie> fryguy, how can I install them?
[06:56] <eatThisAndDie> yeah well i had that too while I was apt-get update distroing.
[06:56] <dongs> lol
[06:56] <bzwingzero> onetinsoldier: Got it. I just didn't know where the setting was.
[06:56] <fryguy> the_newbie: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:56] <onetinsoldier> bzwingzero: ok.. cool
[06:56] <keanu> fryguy, k - i removed the battery for a few mins, so it seems that it isn't re-registering the settings
[06:56] <the_newbie> fryguy, thanks
[06:57] <keanu> Power Manager 2.24.0 reports the battery life properly though
[06:57] <keepsake> sidhrt: Is it unmounted, or not connected at all?
[06:58] <sidhrt> keepsake: it is connected. but its not getting detected .. it used to get automounted before. now nothing happens.
[06:58] <nbeebo> when u got gnome-panel non fullscreen, u get those ugly "grab-buttons" on each side, is there a way to remove those?
[06:59] <the_newbie> fryguy, nope did not work, I got the newest version, and the movie player shows an error message "could not read from resource", do you know of any video player I could use?
[06:59] <sidhrt> the_newbie: try using vlc media player.

[07:03] <psypher246> does anyone know if canonicals' support is 9-5pm GMT?
[07:03] <_2> sidhrt have you checked the package logs to see if something that would/should affect that might have been installed/removed/updated ?   (/var/log/dpkg.log)

[07:09] <sidhrt> _2: isnt there anything i can do?
[07:09] <Satisfied> We wanna be free, free to do what we wanna do... and we're gonna get loaded
[07:09] <nickharper> To be more specific in my problem, whenever I first boot into ubuntu the password and name screen is sized completely wrong, I cannot select anything in compiz, and I receive an error message anytime I try to get graphical effects working.
[07:09] <_2> sidhrt give me the details and i'll see what i can come up with.
[07:09] <karexx> HI, is there a software such an intel GMA(mobile) for ubuntu??
[07:10] <wiehan> how can I make an xfs filesystem on /dev/md0 (it is a RAID: linear partition) with the mfs command...
[07:10] <sidhrt> _2: what kind of details? can i pm?
[07:10] <onetinsoldier> Meshezabeel: i am currently installing the IcedTea plugin... then i will revist the page
[07:11] <darkfuzion_> so i didnt need to get the ati driver anyways onetinsoldier to use compiz fusion
[07:11] <CheesyWeasel> rhythmbox won't play any of my music. none of it. i double click on a song and i get nothing
[07:11] <transporter> hi can somebody help me with a sound issue that im having
[07:11] <_2> sidhrt you can pastebin things as needed.   details on hardware software and desired end result.    i already gathered it's an auto-detect/mount issue.   i just need all the specifics.
[07:12] <_2> !pastebin | sidhrt
[07:12] <Meshezabeel> onetinsoldier: Just before it crashes it pops up an error message, after several attempts I finally was able to get a screen capture just as it was crashing. Here is the error message: http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/197/screenshoteo1.png
[07:12] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion_: roger that
[07:12] <nickharper> Anyone have any ideas for me?
[07:13] <wiehan> how can I make an xfs filesystem on /dev/md0 (it is a RAID: linear partition) with the mfs command...
[07:13] <wiehan> I meant: with the mkfs command
[07:13] <sidhrt> _2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87606/
[07:13] <onetinsoldier> Meshezabeel: upon installing the IcedTea plugin, firefox is locked up. i will need to kill it and start it back up
[07:14] <_2> wiehan mkfs.xfs /dev/md0
[07:14] <wiehan> thanks _2
[07:14] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion_: so what is your xorg driver?
[07:15] <mtaylor> is there an ubuntu-ish way to change from a generic vga X driver to a real driver? (installed in video safe mode, now it's stuck in 800x600, but the video card is a supported intel card)
[07:15] <mtaylor> I'm trying to talk a friend through this on the phone, and I'm trying to avoid saying the words "edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[07:16] <Meshezabeel> onetinsoldier: I am able to get to the site using a proxy site (http://ninjacloak.com), it pops up the warning message, but does not shut down firefox. There seems to be a gray applet underneath the gy.com logo that says: "An error occured while loading this applet."
[07:16] <onetinsoldier> Meshezabeel: i got firefox restarted and went back to that page. the pugin is working and firefox has not crashed
[07:17] <nickharper> I have an nVidia GEForce 5200 graphics card and am unable to enable any kind of desktop effects in 8.10, any solutions?
[07:17] <_2> sidhrt ok that's the output of dmesg   now how about the output of "sudo fdisk -l"    and a summary of what used to, and now doesn't happen.
[07:17] <wiehan> mount /dev/md0
[07:18] <wiehan> oops, I actually thought this was my terminal screen
[07:18] <Meshezabeel> onetinsoldier: looking at my installed plugin, it looks like I am using: libgcjwebplugin.so
[07:18] <_2> wiehan you can use it as one if you use the  /exec command
[07:18] <_2> wiehan i don't advise it really.
[07:19] <onetinsoldier> Meshezabeel: i saw that one available, but it's not the one i chose to install
[07:19] <wiehan> _2 wow, that is amazing.. are you kidding?
[07:19] <Until_It_Sleeps> Please help me. How do I install this: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70428&forumpage=0    The theme changing thing doesn't seem to load it, and the 'Login Window' panel won't load it, as it "Isn't a theme archive"
[07:19] <_2> wiehan try it.   /exec ls

[07:36] <_2> sidhrt do you have more than one kernel version installed that you can test booting to another kernel ?
[07:36] <b1n42y> k1dugar: you are using seperate X screen....
[07:36] <Until_It_Sleeps> And, um, how exactly do I do that?
[07:36] <nickharper> Until_It_Sleeps: How are you installing the theme? Which program are you using?
[07:36] <Until_It_Sleeps> I hate being a noob!
[07:36] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps run the command "file" then put the file name

[07:36] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: you need to be in the same directory as the theme package
[07:37] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: you don't install through a login window
[07:37] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: it's possible, however unlikely that it's a corrupt download. have you tried  tar -t <file>  ??
[07:37] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: you install it using a theme manager from
[07:37] <Meshezabeel> onetinsoldier: thanks, using that plugin I get no crashes now :)
[07:37] <_2> sidhrt also.  while it's very unlikely, it is possable that it's /sys/ not mounted   you can check that with this command   ls /sys/
[07:37] <sidhrt> _2: i dont understand .. what is another kernel?
[07:37] <onetinsoldier> Meshezabeel: yeah! you're welcome :-)
[07:37] <b1n42y> k1dugar:"I am using now separate X screen, so I have two separate desktop." so thats why i said i dont think u can do that
[07:37] <plouffe> Is there any way to revert the update or redo it?
[07:37] <Until_It_Sleeps> I thought you had to do it through there for a GDM theme...
[07:37] <Oxidize> When i booted Ubuntu this morning my sound wasnt working, just had a flashing half transparent speaker icon on my desktop and still do. Cant seem to get the sound working even tho its been fine since the system was installed.

[07:38] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: you open the gdm theme manager and drop it in

[07:41] <_2> onetinsoldier ok,   i was just saying that -t filename   doesn't look right "normally"   -f filename   even if you do use -t
[07:41] <k1dugar> hello,  is there a way that I can use different workspace on each monitor but use one X screen
[07:41] <ikonia> wiehan: just do an mdadm --scan --detail
[07:42] <_2> onetinsoldier just caught my eye, and thought i'd comment in passing.
[07:42] <b1n42y> k1dugar: then u can move apps around as you like
[07:42] <ikonia> wiehan: does that give you output ?
[07:42] <onetinsoldier> _2: yep.. just found that out by trying it on a file of my own
[07:42] <_2> :)
[07:42] <wiehan> ikonia: mdadm: --scan does not set the mode, and so cannot be the first option.
[07:42] <k1dugar> b1n42y: yes but I don't know how I can do that
[07:42] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: ok, command should be    tar -ztf <file>
[07:42] <gizmo> why it take to long install ubuntu..?i have wait until 5hrs..but yet finish..
[07:42] <gizmo> can someone tell me what happen..
[07:42] <b1n42y> b1n42y: its in the same setup area
[07:43] <ikonia> wiehan: sorry mdadm --detail --scan
[07:43] <Circs> I'm having a little trouble, I'm trying to put Ubuntu-eee onto my Eee but what do I do with untetbootin-linux-279?
[07:43] <ubd> there are files in my trash that i cant get rid of because of permission error
[07:43] <nickharper> gizmo: Sounds like you may have a corrupt disc. Shouldn't take that long.
[07:43] <b1n42y> k1dugar: nvidia-settings ?
[07:43] <bikak0> hey, how do i change user ssh login password via shell in ubuntu?
[07:43] <gizmo> nickharper : so how?
[07:43] <_2> gizmo at what step/stage is it taking all this time ?
[07:43] <onetinsoldier> _2: btw, thanks for helping :-)
[07:43] <ubd> where is this trash is located
[07:43] <wiehan> ikonia: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid0 num-devices=2 metadata=
[07:43] <_2> onetinsoldier welcome
[07:43] <RazorFTW|Styles> Hey, I'm trying to install Linux on a iBook and remove mac's os. Now the installer only sees 1/2 the hd (the unpartitioned part) And I refomrat it and select the HFS fiel system for mac( though I dont want mac) and it saids no NewWorld boot partition as found. The yaboot loader requires an apple bootstrap partition, (How can I remove this yaboot boot loader and use the grub one?)
[07:44] <sidhrt> _2: i have done...
[07:44] <ikonia> wiehan: looks good, now copy that information into /etc/mdadm.conf
[07:44] <wiehan> ikonia: I am really appreciating this btw - I've been struggeling my behind off
[07:44] <_2> sidhrt and the results are ???
[07:44] <nickharper> gizmo: Reburn your boot disc at a slower burn rate and try to install with the new disc.
[07:44] <wiehan> ikonia: it seems as though there needs to be something after metadata=
[07:44] <k1dugar> b1n42y: dint found any such option, twinview, clone and separate X screen
[07:44] <ikonia> wiehan: ther is normay a long numer
[07:44] <gizmo> _2 : unbuntu install 8.10 - Please wait while the required files are retrive and prepared..
[07:44] <b1n42y> twinview
[07:45] <sidhrt> _2: nothing...
[07:45] <_2> gizmo hmmm and you have enough ram ?   more than 192m ?
[07:45] <RazorFTW|Styles> Anyone?
[07:45] <ikonia> wiehan: for example ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 metadata=0.90 UUID=99da1a3d:f11b2c9e:87264f9f:804a8f04
[07:45] <_2> sidhrt still doesn't recognize when you unplug and then replug the drive ?
[07:45] <gizmo> 504mb
[07:45] <ubd> there are files in my trash that i cant get rid of because of permission error
[07:46] <gizmo> _2 : 504mb of ram
[07:46] <k1dugar> b1n42y: its like make two monitor as one "BIG" just like Xinerama
[07:46] <_2> gizmo   ok.   trouble shooting that may not be easy,   and i don't have the time. maybe someone else can.
[07:46] <Lou_> What are the correct permissions for the home directory and the files and folders in it?
[07:46] <b1n42y> ya and whats the problem ?
[07:46] <ikonia> Lou_: normally 700 or 750
[07:46] <Until_It_Sleeps> onetinsoldier: tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
[07:46] <gizmo> _2 : u ask me..after i answer u dont know..
[07:47] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: run file against it
[07:47] <Until_It_Sleeps> How on earth do I do that?
[07:47] <sidhrt> _2: no. not even after unplug n replug.
[07:47] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: as I told you be in the same directory as it, and run "file $filename"
[07:47] <b1n42y> gizmo: checked your media for defects ?
[07:47] <ubd> where is this trash is located so i can find it and remove with sudo autilus
[07:47] <_2> gizmo   i was just checking to see if the 'simplest of all answers' might apply.   didn't mean to get your hopes up.
[07:47] <ikonia> !trash > ubd
[07:47] <Lou_> ikonia, thanks.
[07:48] <gizmo> _2 : is it ok with 504mb of ram?
[07:48] <b1n42y> ubd: just sudo dolphin or whatever and delete from trash
[07:48] <nickharper> gizmo
[07:48] <_2> gizmo yes indeed it is.
[07:48] <nickharper> gizmo: Yes.
[07:48] <_jlb__1> is ubottu a bot?
[07:48] <ikonia> yes
[07:48] <_2> yes

[07:48] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: tar ztvf Vista.tar.gz
[07:48] <_2> sidhrt ok.   ls /sys
[07:48] <gizmo> nickharper : slower like what..is it ok to use infrarecorder?
[07:49] <_2> sidhrt just tell me if that lists dirs or errors out
[07:49] <wiehan> ikonia: should I use metadata=0.9 - I didn't get any output about that; also how do I get the UUID?
[07:49] <gizmo> nickharper : ok i will burn it again..
[07:49] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: are you sure you did it right, like in my last message to you?   --> tar -ztf <filename.tar.gz>   >
[07:49] <Until_It_Sleeps> tar: Vista.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[07:49] <b1n42y> gizmo: check your media first
[07:49] <rainabba> Why wouldn't "ls "foo (x)*" return "foo (x).ext"  ?
[07:49] <gizmo> b1n42y : media?
[07:49] <sidhrt> _2: block  bus  class  devices  firmware  fs  kernel  module  power  slab
[07:49] <b1n42y> gizmo: cd dvd ...
[07:49] <nickharper> gizmo: When I originally installed 8.10 I ran into a general error that did not allow me to complete the install, so I canceled and ejected the disk, I then reloaded it and in grub checked it for errors - there were a few, that'd be the best place to start.
[07:50] <ubd> ty ikonia
[07:50] <_2> sidhrt ok.    hmmm you are making this difficult aren't you...    i mean your system is...
[07:50] <gizmo> nickharper : yeah same like me when boot..
[07:50] <b1n42y> nickharper: well done
[07:50] <_2> sidhrt pastebin the output of    df -h
[07:50] <sidhrt> _2: umm... i am sorry mate.. but i appreciate all your help...
[07:50] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: you must be doing something wrong. i just double-checked that command. it absolutely works
[07:50] <gizmo> nickharper : so what your step..just do the burn with slower rate..?
[07:51] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: you need to be in the same directory as it
[07:51] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, check your media first, if it's not your media, check the iso file you downloaded against the md5sum hash (I think it's called) to make sure your iso file is not corrupted to begin with.
[07:51] <_2> sidhrt heh  no worries.   just trying to hurry here.
[07:51] <Until_It_Sleeps> what is that command supposed to do, open it?
[07:51] <ikonia> wiehan: is the array still running ?
[07:51] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: No... just list the file contents
[07:51] <b1n42y> gizmo: check your dowload against a checksum first
[07:51] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: it will verify it as a tar file
[07:51] <gizmo> Meshezabeel : i already check my md5..
[07:51] <gizmo> its ok..my md5 same with the hash number..
[07:51] <wiehan> ikonia: I didn't do anything else - so I guess the array is still running
[07:52] <sidhrt> _2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87629/
[07:52] <Until_It_Sleeps> well, I just copied and pasted, and it didn't work...
[07:52] <b1n42y> ehehe double posts
[07:52] <gizmo> but i confuse with media..
[07:52] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, okay, it should be a good iso then
[07:52] <nickharper> gizmo: Well, I didn't have another blank disc, so I loaded an older version of ubuntu, Gutsy, I believe, and upgraded from there. But, yes, reburn your disk at a slower burn rate - this should be in the options before you hit the burn button.
[07:52] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps what do you mean it didn't work - what did it do or say
[07:52] <gizmo> Meshezabeel : yes iso ok..
[07:52] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: you need to be exact
[07:52] <b1n42y> gizmo u can also do a simulation before you burn
[07:52] <YankDownUnder> My lighter runs outta fluid every time I try to burn a disk...
[07:52] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, I think when you insert the disc, a menu appears asking to install it and other options, one of the options I think is to check disc for defects
[07:52] <Until_It_Sleeps> "tar: Vista.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory"
[07:52] <gizmo> simulation?media..
[07:52] <b1n42y> YankDownUnder: same
[07:53] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, someone can tell me if I'm wrong
[07:53] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: you need to be in the SAME directory as the file as I said
[07:53] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: my Vista.tar.gz file just finished downloading. let me check it with that command...
[07:53] <Until_It_Sleeps> fyi the full file name is ubuntu to Vista.tar.gz
[07:53] <b1n42y> Meshezabeel: thats what ive been trying to say ...
[07:53] <rainabba> If my current directory contains the file "foo (x).ext", why wouldn't the following command list that file?
[07:53] <rainabba> ls -1 'foo (x)*'
[07:53] <gizmo> Meshezabeel : but i can open the "try ubuntu without change any of my computer"
[07:53] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: use the correct file name
[07:53] <Until_It_Sleeps> "ubuntu to Vista.tar.gz"
[07:53] <b1n42y> ...
[07:53] <gizmo> nickharper : i will try to burn a new one with the slower burn..
[07:54] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, it doesn't matter, maybe there's one spot on the disc that has problems that isn't detected on live viewing
[07:54] <Until_It_Sleeps> is that the correct file name?
[07:54] <b1n42y> gizmo: do what Meshezabeel said
[07:54] <nickharper> b1n42y: I'm new to this whole thing, so, I do hope you were being honest and not sarcastic! You could dash my dreams away in a moment you know!
[07:54] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: I don't know what the file name is, it's your file !
[07:54] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: tar -ztf ubuntu\ to\ Vista.tar.gz
[07:54] <gizmo> Meshezabeel : so what should i do..burn the new one with slow rate..?
[07:54] <wiehan> Until_It_Sleeps: spaces aren't allowed (or not understood) when typing in file names in terminal, thus use: \before the beginning of the space and then type the space or just use TAB for autocomplete
[07:54] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: worked for me!
[07:54] <RazorFTW|Styles> The installer needs to remove operating syste m files from the install target, but was unable to do so. The installer cannot continue.
[07:54] <RazorFTW|Styles> wtf:(
[07:54] <ikonia> wiehan: mdadm -S /dev/md0
[07:55] <_2> sidhrt man i don't know.     i would have to see the output of  cat /var/log/dpkg.log      and still might not be able to find what is causing your issue.     but unfortunately, i'm quickly running out of time, and have to pass you off to someone else. ikonia might have time to look into this, maybe.
[07:55] <ikonia> wiehan: sudo of course
[07:55] <b1n42y> nickharper: the advice you gave , i was referring to
[07:55] <clearzen> is there a reason that I get the following error installing flashplugin-nonfree......  md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
[07:55] <clearzen> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[07:55] <Until_It_Sleeps> **** tar: ubuntu to Vista.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[07:55] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, well you could check the current one for defects like I mentioned just to see. But you could also try to burn it again at slow speed. Also, maybe try a different brand of disc if possible.
[07:55] <sidhrt> _2:
[07:55] <gizmo> ok..
[07:55] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps how did you run file against it
[07:55] <nickharper> b1n42y: Yes, and I was hoping I had gave genuinely good advice.
[07:55] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: use Tab Completion
[07:55] <gizmo> i use infrarecorder to burn image..
[07:55] <_2> sidhrt if you have the time,  someone here can surely help you find and correct it.   but i have to go.
[07:56] <sidhrt> _2; okay,,,, thanks....
[07:56] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, I've never heard of that before
[07:56] <_2> welcome. and sorry we didn't finish. sidhrt
[07:56] <gizmo> its from ubuntu site..
[07:56] <Until_It_Sleeps> onetinsoldier: Uh, in Terminal?
[07:56] <Until_It_Sleeps> or in irc?
[07:56] <gizmo> Meshezabeel : what you use to burn image?
[07:56] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: type in.... tar -ztf ubu    ...then press the Tab key on your keyboard
[07:56] <sidhrt> its okay _2.. we can finish off later..
[07:56] <ikonia> Until_It_Sleeps: so do exactly the same, but repalce the command file with tar ztvf
[07:56] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: yes.. in terminal
[07:56] <Meshezabeel> gizmo, so you are in ubuntu right now to burn a disc?

[08:05] <ikonia> wiehan: ok, now we are getting somewhere
[08:05] <ikonia> wiehan: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[08:05] <wiehan> ikonia: good, thnks
[08:05] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: ok... you have it... good! do you know how to use Tab completion on the terminal?
[08:05] <nickharper> ikonia: Is that a program I would have to download, or a terminal command, or what?
[08:06] <ikonia> wiehan: type "t" for toggle, and set the patition to type "fd"
[08:06] <ikonia> !compiz > nickharper
[08:06] <ikonia> nickharper: check that guide
[08:06] <Until_It_Sleeps> onetinsoldier: same as in IRC essentially right?
[08:06] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: yes
[08:06] <nickharper> ikonia: Got it, thanks, bbl.
[08:07] <wiehan> ikonia: ok, next (last command was fd... things are going smoothly)
[08:07] <ikonia> wiehan: now use "w" to write it to the disk
[08:07] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: if you are in the same directory as your theme file, then try the following.....
[08:07] <wiehan> ikonia: it is finished... now?
[08:08] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: type in.... tar -ztf ubu    ...then press the Tab key on your keyboard, then press Enter key
[08:08] <ikonia> wiehan: do the same on the other dis, and then do an fdisk -l you should system the "system" type as "LinuxRaid" or something like that in stead of System Linux
[08:08] <Until_It_Sleeps> onetinsoldier: nothing
[08:09] <wiehan> ikonia: ok.. when will it ask me that... I'll ask you here when I get to there?
[08:09] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: ok, i don't know whats wrong then... it should end up looking like this --> tar -ztf ubuntu\ to\ Vista.tar.gz
[08:09] <wiehan> ikonia: otherwise it is the exact same steps?
[08:09] <ikonia> wiehan: it won't ask you about that
[08:09] <onetinsoldier> you can type that in manually... or copy and paste
[08:09] <Until_It_Sleeps> It's on the desktop, which is where the theme archive is located
[08:09] <ikonia> wiehan: same steps on /dev/sdc
[08:09] <Until_It_Sleeps> Oh snap, 1:00 a.m. I gotta get to bed. Cya all later. Talk to you tomorrow onetinsoldier.
[08:09] <ikonia> wiehan: then re-do your fdisk -l /dev/sdb acommand and the ast colum should say linuxraid or autoraid something like that
[08:10] <onetinsoldier> Until_It_Sleeps: ok.. g'night
[08:11] <wiehan> ikonia: Linux raid autodetect

[08:16] <spmccann> aleX-xx i believe you can configure firefox to act in this way
[08:17] <alex_21> How, and "no close button"?
[08:17] <ikonia> wiehan: my train is about to stop, so I may vanish for 25 - 30 minutes
[08:17] <wiehan> ikonia: same messages with mdadm: create aborted
[08:17] <ikonia> wiehan: I'm not ignoring you just not at the desk
[08:18] <iaindalton> Does the new network manager have documentation somewhere?  The docs I found through yelp reference the old one from 8.04.
[08:18] <wiehan> ikonia: thanks man, I understand, I'll hange around... just memorize everyhting that happened up until now..
[08:18] <wiehan> ikonia: I really appreciate this, maybe I'll send you something in the post if all works out...
[08:19] <ikonia> wiehan: you "may" want to consider deleting /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc2 and re-creating them making sure you set the tpe to "fd"
[08:19] <ikonia> wiehan: happy to help don't worry, about to jump off train though
[08:19] <wiehan> ikonia: see you in 30minutes
[08:19] <spmccann> aleX-xx look at this lugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1659
[08:19] <wiehan> ikonia: I don't want to mess up our progress...
[08:20] <wiehan> ikonia: I'll wait
[08:20] <ikonia> wiehan: as it thinks /dev/sdc1 is in an array, it may not hurt to delete both partitions and re-create to make sure they have blank header information
[08:20] <ikonia> and no file systme on
[08:20] <ikonia> that help
[08:21] <wiehan> ikonia: still there? How do you mean delete /dev/sdb
[08:21] <iaindalton> I'm trying to set up a static IP address, but I don't know what settings to enter other than the address itself.  What goes in gateway?
[08:21] <alex_21> Does this addon get rid of the close button?
[08:22] <ikonia> wiehan: no open /dev/sdb with fdisk delete the partition (/dev/sdb1) witht he "d" command, then recreate it
[08:22] <ikonia> wiehan: don't forget to do "t" and then "fd" to set the parttiion type to raid AFTER you've recreated
[08:22] <wiehan> ikonia: ok, I'll do that, then follow the command you ordered in here... I'll try... but would appreciate to see you in 30minutes... I'm gonna give it a shot
[08:23] <LoveGuru> Hi, quick question i just compile new kernel but somehow it won't work so just delete that kernel from every where and in update my grub too but when i did " dpkg --list | grep linux-image " it shows my kernel still there .. i remove kernel thorugh apt-get utility. so why dpkg shows its still there?
[08:23] <alex_21> In gateway goes the name of your router, Netmask is usually <IP_ADDRESS> and dns is dns
[08:23] <ikonia> wiehan: once you have re-created the partitions (don't forget "w" to write and quite fdisk" try the mdadm command I gave you to create the array
[08:25] <iaindalton> alex_21: The gateway field in network-manager expects an IP address.  So, I'd enter something like <IP_ADDRESS>?  Also, what do you mean "dns is dns"?  Do I have to enter DNS for the connection to work?  That field is in a separate area.
[08:28] <spmccann> aleX-21 i'm not sure i'd suggest reading the documenetation, although i thing alt f4 still works

[08:28] <alex_21> Oh, I forgot. Your right. It is in another area, specifically /etc/tesolv.conf
[08:28] <alex_21> /etc/resolv.conf

[08:31] <alex_21> The page won't work
[08:31] <alex_21> The first one
[08:31] <alex_21> But I found a Keyosk extention
[08:32] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: well, that version of g++ is not available as a package in ubuntu 8.10
[08:32] <alex_21> Addon, actually
[08:32] <YankDownUnder> Hmmm...if'n ya can't view the page, alex_21, maybe perchance it's a PEBCAK error?
[08:33] <tiyowan> Good morning, folks.

[08:33] <YankDownUnder> Er, morning?
[08:33] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: hello there
[08:33] <alex_21> But now it says to use a suitable program for your os, to prevent the user using alt + f4 to close the browser. What is that? *Washes himself for using the word "ALT" which is very horrible*
[08:34] <alex_21> YankDownUnder: It is a screen reader issue, it visually looks OK
[08:35] <YankDownUnder> alex_21: Ah. Clarity is good for clearing things up. Understand now.
[08:35] <alex_21> Does anyone know what kind of application will do this?
[08:36] <YankDownUnder> alex_21: Have you thought about that page I listed about using Sabayon and Firefox?
[08:36] <iaindalton> alex_21: /etc/resolv.conf is system-wide; network-manager is user-specific.  Do you know what files it uses?  Maybe I'll just edit it manually; the interface isn't totally clear and I don't know what to use as DNS.

I remeber editing a config file to get this working in the first place.. but cant remember witch..  Also adding users to a linux group(fuse), wont work since the us

[08:39] <alex_21> And YankDownUnder: No, I think that was the page that wouldn't load? What does that do?
[08:39] <enzotib> wiehan, /dev/sdb is not a partition, it is a full disk device
[08:39] <alex_21> YankDownUnder: No, I think that was the page that wouldn't load? What does that do?
[08:39] <onetinsoldier> where can i find the gnome theme installer?

[08:44] <kanchana> wartalker: how can I recognize that I have dhcp? I have no knowledge about internet and networks...
[08:44] <wartalker> kanchana: you need to set the ip address
[08:45] <wiehan> alex_21: I am not sure but follow the guide on the latest distrowatch weekly newsletter, it is more or less what you want to do...

[08:48] <red-sheep> v1d4l0k4: Temporary?  Why don't you install Windows in VirtualBox?  That's what I do when I need to use my Windows apps.  It's cleaner that way.
[08:48] <Photoguy> Is there an Avant Window Navigation .deb for 8.10?
[08:48] <kanchana> sometimes it even says, that it is connected, and that everything works well, but then I can only send packets, no packets can be received ...
[08:49] <Photoguy> Or is it all source code...:P
[08:49] <kanchana> wartalker: what is the question I should aks?
[08:49] <wiehan> ikonia: you back yet?
[08:49] <veloc1ty> v1d4l0k4, you need to start from the live cd, move the "old" partitions and then create a new one
[08:49] <ftornell> guys, if i wanna make my gnome terminal open up with a certain size, a little bit larger than it is by default how can i accomplish this?

[08:50] <v1d4l0k4> red-sheep: Yep, I also have a Windows in VirtualBox. But VirtualBox does not actually support Direct 3D (the last 2.1.0 only supports 3D acceleration). >.<
[08:50] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: well, that version of g++ is not available as a package in ubuntu 8.10. it 'might' be possible to doesnload the source code and compile it, but it probably a complex package to install next to g++-4.3
[08:50] <red-sheep> ftornell: Right-click on the terminal window -- Look in profile/preferences -- There are some thing you can customize to your liking.
[08:50] <onetinsoldier> download*
[08:50] <wiehan> Is there a app with a GUI to create RAIDs (to span a partition accross 2 HD's)... I'm having trouble with mdadm
[08:51] <kanchana> I have put the same Ubuntu on other computers here and the internet settings were recognized so quickly and automatically, that I never saw such thing before
[08:51] <Photoguy> Is there an Avant Window Navigation .deb for 8.10?
[08:51] <ftornell> red-sheep, i looked there but cant seem to find any re-size settings...
[08:51] <red-sheep> v1d4l0k4: In that case, you should download GParted iso -- It'll allow you to move partitions around.  You'll have to do one thing at a time -- IE -- Stretch size -- Move partition -- Resize -- Move partition -- Etc.
[08:51] <kanchana> But on that my laptop it doesn't work, it only receives some Kbs, but doesn't send anything
[08:51] <Photoguy> oh, it's in the apps, never mind.
[08:51] <generalsnus> how can i add a group that is called " domain^users "  to a group in xubuntu that is called "FUSE"?
[08:51] <Kate4382> onetinsoldier does it will be possible to install this package on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[08:51] <Kate4382> onetinsoldier: does it will be possible to install this package on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[08:52] <v1d4l0k4> veloc1ty, red-sheep: I already tried, but the problem is that the extended partition doesn't move to right >>. :/
[08:52] <wiehan> Photoguy: have you lookid in the repositries, and have you selected "all available applications" in Add/Remove
[08:52] <Photoguy> oh, it's in the apps, never mind.
[08:52] <Photoguy> Thanks
[08:52] <Photoguy> :)
[08:52] <v1d4l0k4> ...neither copy to another space.
[08:53] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: i really don't know. check http//packages.ubuntu.com/ and see what's available for 8.04.... g++-3.4 sounds very old to me though
[08:53] <veloc1ty> v1d4l0k4, have you booted from a live CD?
[08:53] <v1d4l0k4> veloc1ty: Yep.
[08:53] <chief> hi kate question: , anyone know how to turn the block highlighting off when you mouse over a fold marker ?
[08:53] <veloc1ty> i did that a couple of weeks ago, it was working fine for me
[08:53] <veloc1ty> move the old ones, then create a new one
[08:54] <kanchana> I can't connect to the internet - it is connecting about one minute and then says: Disconnected. Is there any way out?
[08:54] <Kate4382> onetinsoldier: what is the diffrent between gcc and g++ ?
[08:54] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: gcc is a C compiler and g++ is a C++ compiler
[08:55] <wiehan> Is there a app with a GUI to create RAIDs (to span a partition accross 2 HD's)... I'm having trouble with mdadm
[08:55] <Kate4382> onetinsoldier: does ubuntu have other c++ compilers other than g++ ?
[08:56] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: i don't know for certain, but i highly doubt it
[08:56] <red-sheep> v1d4l0k4: You can't move them.  You'll have to resize them.
[08:57] <infinity1> wiehan: evms.sf.net
[08:57] <red-sheep> v1d4l0k4: For instance, you want to move extended partition to the right -- You start by stretching the right-side of the said partition (extended) all the way to the right, then you repeat for the said parition (inside) then you move the left-side for the said partition (inside) then you move the left-side for the said partition (extended).
[08:58] <rahiel|^> hi
[08:58] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382:  the Gnu C and C++ compilers work hand in hand, hence, having the same version number as each other. And C/C++ compilers are very very complex to make. it's very doubtful you'll much other than gcc and g++
[08:58] <wiehan> infinity1: thnks
[08:58] <onetinsoldier> you'll find*
[08:59] <rahiel|^> there is also tinycc
[09:00] <Kate4382> onetinsoldier: i am trying to compile some package of "nlp tagger" for my research (studies), last time i use the same package on old ubuntu with g++ compiler 3.4 and its works fine , but now with the new compiler i cant compile to package any idea ?
[09:00] <v1d4l0k4> red-sheep: Ah! I haven't tried this way. Seems perfectly logic, he he he. Thanks for the tip man, I'll reboot now to do the work. Thank you too, veloc1ty. :)
[09:01] <veloc1ty> welcome =)
[09:01] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: it is possible to have more than one version of these installed at one time, however, the installation is complex and i wouldn't really recommend doing it yourself. i would make sure to use a packaged version made specifically for your version of the OS(ubuntu)
[09:02] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: how old of ubuntu was it?
[09:02] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: anyway, i don't really think i can help. no idea really
[09:04] <Lou_> Why is network-manager not good for use on a server? (I'm using ubuntu 8.10)
[09:04] <Lou_>  I'm wanting to use static ip addresses, and I'm thinking network-manager tries to override those static ip addresses. Is that correct?
[09:04] <onetinsoldier> Kate4382: it's possible you might have better luck asking in a channel such as ubuntu-devel
[09:05] <wiehan> infinity1: I looked at evms, I see it only has an 32bit install will it work on my 64bit machine?
[09:05] <kanchana> I cannot connect to internet! ridiculous - it says - :Connection established. But it doesn't receive any data. It only sends some little Kbs. What to do?

[09:21] <jim_p> Sookie, tell me since no one is around and i may know something
[09:21] <Photoguy> What is that "Mac like" app launcher bar called?
[09:22] <jim_p> Photoguy, avant-window-navigator                      cairo-dock               wbar                  make your pick
[09:22] <Sookie> theatrustop, I already explained twice my problem bellow...
[09:22] <wiehan> Photoguy: There is a lot: AWN, Cairo (i think), simdock, the list goes on
[09:22] <Photoguy> Aah, which is the best?
[09:23] <jim_p> Photoguy, do you want me to make a full list of what each has?
[09:23] <Sookie> jim_p, I configured Evolution to access an Exchange OWA account at my office, while configuring, the autentication test works, however afterwards when trying to access the mailbox it is always asking me for the password and failing during the autentication process
[09:23] <Photoguy> Or most stable.
[09:23] <pakus> Hiya
[09:23] <theatrustop> Sookie, oh boy, I've had that problem before
[09:24] <wiehan> Photoguy: personally I stopped using AWN because it froze permanently... my pc started to run like it had windows installed
[09:24] <jim_p> Photoguy, avant-window-navigator if you dont mind the bar to be on the bottom. wbar if you look for something light
[09:24] <pakus> Do you know a good guide to mount a Remote X Server for 50 users?
[09:24] <Sookie> theatrustop, so you will be my angeld today if you could give me a hand on this!
[09:24] <theatrustop> Sookie, make sure to put in a global address list server (usually the domain controller works fine)
[09:24] <Photoguy> Ok, thanks for the advice.
[09:25] <theatrustop> Sookie, but I've found it to be very fickle and sensitive
[09:25] <Sookie> theatrustop, but I only have http://servername/exchange and my user/password info
[09:25] <theatrustop> Sookie, on another tab there is info for the GAL
[09:26] <theatrustop> and if that doesn't work, sometimes running the connector setup manually works
[09:26] <theatrustop> in short, I gave up on it in the end and just access exchange through imap via thunderbird
[09:26] <theatrustop> :)
[09:26] <Sookie> theatrustop, yes  I know that tab, but I mean that for the server the only infor I have is this: http://servername/exchange, so in GAL should I put just http://servername ?
[09:26] <theatrustop> exchange-connector-setup-2.22 is a binary you can run
[09:27] <theatrustop> no http://, IP address basically
[09:27] <Sookie> theatrustop, I will try
[09:27] <theatrustop> I did have it working for awhile myself but then with some exchange patch the calendaring system would just crash the second you loaded it
[09:28] <Sookie> theacolyte, well, doesn't work
[09:28] <jim_p> has anyone seen/used/witnessed the use of an application similar to this http://www.heise-online.co.uk/images/112274/1/1 ?
[09:28] <Sookie> theatrustop, so what is the alternative? My office only has an Exchange server, no POP
[09:29] <theatrustop> learn to love accessing the stripped down version (for non IE) via a browser :-/
[09:29] <theatrustop> Newer evolution in intrepid might have fixed problems though
[09:30] <dns53> jim_p there is one in apt, it used to be included but was removed in feisty it's gnome hardware or something
[09:30] <Sookie> theatrustop, well, this is really a big handicap for people who want to use Linux in their hostile Microsoft Enviroments
[09:30] <jim_p> dns53, the gnome device manager?
[09:30] <dns53> yes
[09:30] <theatrustop> Sookie, I use Linux at work, with exchange via IMAP
[09:31] <theatrustop> e-mail works which is the important part
[09:31] <Sookie> theatrustop, but I don't think they have IMAP working
[09:31] <ikonia> wiehan: I'm back
[09:31] <Sookie> theatrustop, if so, what software can I use instead? Thunderbird?
[09:32] <Sookie> theatrustop, and then, what about with the global agenda? the public folders that all of us share, etc..?
[09:32] <pakus> I want to configure a Remote X Server using gnome and NX. Now It's working, but gnome tries to launch applet that won't works remotely
[09:32] <obhk_> does anybody know a command line program for filetransfer over ftps (ftp over implicit tls/ssl)?
[09:33] <wiehan> ikonia: hey my friend
[09:33] <ikonia> wiehan: how did you get on
[09:33] <Kartagis> does ubuntu have a download accelerator like flashget on windows? where i can download files from rapidshare
[09:33] <wiehan> ikonia: glad to see you... heck - I've been batteling
[09:33] <ikonia> wiehan: ok, so not good thatn
[09:33] <ikonia> wiehan: explain the current sitaution
[09:33] <ikonia> situaiton
[09:34] <wiehan> ikonia: even tried installing evms (a GUI to do this tyoe of thing)
[09:34] <ikonia> ughhh no
[09:34] <scientes> why does a linux modules [ackage require a image package?
[09:34] <ikonia> scientes they are linked to a kernel
[09:34] <wiehan> ikonia: Is it possible that we can start right from the top... assuming I've done no prep at all...
[09:34] <ikonia> scientes: the image is the kernel
[09:34] <scientes> but i load the kernel from nfs
[09:34] <ikonia> wiehan ok, lets do that.
[09:34] <scientes> but need the modules local of course
[09:35] <theatrustop> Sookie, IMAP access will see shared folders
[09:35] <wiehan> ikonia: I will be pasting the steps one by one into a text file to later on publish somewhere on the net - There really needs to be an easy guide like you do it out there, let that be my contribution at least...
[09:35] <ikonia> scientes I've not followed what you've been doing so can't comment
[09:35] <wiehan> ikonia: lets go...
[09:35] <theatrustop> Sookie, but try the connector setup in evolution
[09:35] <generalsnus> Can somone help me troubleshoot this error mesage? i get it when i try to mount a USB drive: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal").
[09:36] <mosiac> so quick question i have ubuntu installed on my notebook and for some reason when i plug a micro sd card in it says i have to be a super user to mount the device how can i tweakk it
[09:36] <wiehan> ikonia: if it makes any difference: I am ssh'ing in... and documenting the steps will take a tad longer, so bare with me please
[09:36] <Photoguy> *bear
[09:36] <ikonia> wiehan:
[09:36] <ikonia> wiehan: no problem
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> generalsnus: what is the command you use to mount?
[09:36] <Sookie> theatrustop, can you please give me a general steps list for the connector?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip1> !mount | mosiac
[09:37] <ActionParsnip1> mosiac: just type sudo mount -a and it should mount
[09:38] <ikonia> wiehan: can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l so I can see the current state
[09:38] <mosiac> it keeps asking me for a filesystem type
[09:38] <mosiac> and no matter what i put it says bad superblock
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> mosiac: ok where do you want to mount it?
[09:39] <blip-> hi all, I have Kubuntu 8.04 and there is a FAT32 partition on my system... everytime I want to mount or unmount this partition through Dolphin filemanager, I get a prompt to enter my password for root access... the problem is when I shutdown the machine as it's shutting down KDE tries to unmount and gives me a password prompt (gui) but there is on time to type it in..... the end result is I usually lose all the changes i've made on the partition during
[09:39] <blip-> that session....  I noticed this partition isn't defined in fstab... is that why it's asking me for passwd every time ?  thanks
[09:39] <mosiac> i made /media/sdcard
[09:40] <Prince> hi all
[09:40] <wiehan> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d5e64fc36 (don't mind the 8gb flash disk - and my /  is on a 40gb hard drive)
[09:40] <generalsnus> ActionParsnip1: i didnt use a command.. i tried to open the usb drive from desktop
[09:40] <ActionParsnip1> mosiac: ok and what is the partition name (/dev/sdc1 for example) you will see that if you run the commad ikonia said
[09:40] <mosiac>  its /dev/sdc
[09:40] <Sookie> theatrustop, nothing in synaptic under the name of echange-connector
[09:40] <ActionParsnip1> generalsnus: if you right click it and select mout you should be asked for a password
[09:41] <Prince> does anyone know if there is an development environment for c on ubuntu?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip1> mosiac: its, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdc is the disk itself. sdc1 is the first partition and you can only mount partitions
[09:41] <beni-> hi guys. i installed ubuntu from the live-cd and i saw that exim is running... why that? can i disable it? or is some other process relying on a running mailserver?
[09:41] <theatrustop> Sookie, its installed by default with evolution
[09:41] <ActionParsnip1> mosiac: ok, what file system is it using?
[09:41] <ikonia> wiehan: ok, that looks pretty good
[09:41] <Unknown0BC> Greetings :D
[09:41] <mosiac> now its using fat32
[09:42] <wiehan> ikonia: ok.
[09:42] <kris_> Hi
[09:42] <ikonia> wiehan: we'll take a slightly different approach here
[09:42] <Unknown0BC> How do I get .amr files played ?
[09:42] <ActionParsnip1> mosiac: ok then this is easy
[09:42] <riz0n> Is there a way to disable/enable accounts in unbuntu without having to delete them or change the password?
[09:42] <kris_> someone can help me with some server questions ?
[09:42] <kanchana> hello, I am connected but I dont receive any packets, so actually I have no internet connection... it says it is connected, but nothing works - firefox, ping, nothing
[09:42] <ikonia> wiehan: sudo mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 --force /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
[09:42] <Prince> UnknownOBC: did you tried VLC Media Player.. it can play much formats maybe amr. too
[09:42] <ActionParsnip1> mosiac: sudo moubt /dev/sdc1 /media/sdcard -t vfat
[09:43] <dns53> Unknown0BC i think it is going to be hard, try vlc or mplayer but you may need to compile support for it in ffmpeg
[09:43] <Sookie> theatrustop, is it possible to setup thunderbird just knowing http://servername/exchange and user/password data?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip1> Prince: any player can play any file with correct codecs installed
[09:43] <tiyowan> Trying open a gnome-terminal window of a *set* size. Anyone familiar with the command switch to do that? Man page seems to be rather vague on it.
[09:43] <wiehan> ikonia: ok: continue creating array: yes?
[09:43] <mosiac> beautiful thank you
[09:43] <ikonia> wiehan yes please
[09:43] <theatrustop> Sookie, if the IMAP server is on servername, yes
[09:44] <wiehan> ikonia: let me rather give you the pastebin: it gives a lot of messages and warnings about size and percentages and stuff.
[09:44] <ikonia> wiehan: ok, I'm steppign away from my desk for 5 minutes to get a drink, I'll be right back
[09:44] <meckle> need help with zenity text-info
[09:44] <kris_> need to open port 3306 on my ubuntu server 8.10 fot acces with my windows client ...   ?
[09:44] <kanchana_> hello, I cannot connect to the internet.
[09:44] <Sorcererbob> IRC begs to differ :P
[09:45] <kanchana_> It says, that I am connected, but actually it doesnt receive any packets. It just sends Kbs, thats all
[09:45] <kanchana_> everything looks fine, but Firefox doesnt work. Ping also doesnt work
[09:45] <kanchana_> what can I do?
[09:45] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: it'll be an IP or firewall problem likely
[09:45] <tiyowan> nvm, figured it out.
[09:45] <khussein78> hi
[09:45] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: lets see "ifconfig"
[09:45] <kris_> Kancha,  How are you connected to the internet ?  modem ?
[09:46] <khussein78> i have problem with my evolution email, where can ask my questions ?
[09:46] <kanchana_> ifconfig shows both eth1 and lo
[09:46] <Sorcererbob> what is your IP?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> kanchanais your browser running offline?
[09:46] <kanchana_> kris_ by wire, ADSL
[09:46] <Sorcererbob> ActionParsnip1: ping doesn't work either
[09:46] <Sookie> theatrustop, ok I installed thunderbird however I can't see any "exchange" option in order to create a new account
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> kris_: if you havent configured any security, they are open
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> Sorcererbob: oh
[09:47] <kris_> kancha: so you are behind a modem or behind a router ?  If you are behind a router, you can obtain local connection, but no internet ...
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> kanchanas: ok, can you ping your routers ip?
[09:47] <kanchana_> actually after starting the Ubuntu, the PC doesn't recognize eth, it shows only "lo", so I have to plug of and put back the ethernet card
[09:47] <riz0n> what is a good program to install on ubuntu to handle configurations through http (apache, bind, accounts, etc) that is similar to cpanel?
[09:47] <kanchana_> kris_ there is no router
[09:48] <kanchana_> kanchana_ there seems to be just modem and connection....
[09:48] <meckle> need help with zenity text-info I'm running this   zenity --text-info filename=/home/myname/Cron/backupALL.log --width 530  but it doesn't show anything in the text info window
[09:48] <jim_p> !apt
[09:48] <jim_p> !checkinstall
[09:48] <kanchana_> Sorcererbob: <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:49] <blip-> where can I set permissions on mounting a partition ?   Everytime I want to mount a FAT32 partition it's asking me for password
[09:49] <kanchana_> sorry - <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:49] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: ok, and the default gateway is .1.1?
[09:49] <kanchana_> Sorcererbob, yes, <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:50] <Sorcererbob> and when you type "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"?
[09:50] <huwenfeng> !url
[09:50] <axyjo> hi all, what does the {a} prefix mean in apt-get/aptitude?
[09:50] <huwenfeng> !basic
[09:50] <huwenfeng> !apt-get
[09:50] <huwenfeng> !Synaptic
[09:51] <MadsRH> How do I make Pidgin start minimized? Is there an option like -q or -s or -m?
[09:51] <kanchana_> Sorcererbob, PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data
[09:51] <ActionParsnip1> axyjo: can you give an example command using this prefix please?
[09:51] <dns53> MadsRH it's in the options
[09:51] <kanchana_> From [ip
[09:51] <MadsRH> dns53 -> thanks
[09:51] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: reply or timeout?
[09:51] <axyjo> ActionParsnip1: it's not a command. when i install certain packages, it shows up next to the names
[09:51] <kanchana_> From [ip] icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[09:52] <Sorcererbob> how strange
[09:52] <ikonia> wiehan: ok lets continue
[09:52] <Sorcererbob> can other computers ping the router?
[09:52] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, it still does that, only counts the seq=[number]
[09:53] <meckle> __2nd time, same question__ I need help with zenity text-info I'm running this   zenity --text-info filename=/home/myname/Cron/backupALL.log --width 530  but it doesn't show anything in the text info window
[09:53] <wiehan> ikonia: did you read the PMs
[09:53] <Sorcererbob> cool. ctrl+c to make it stop, kanchana. Can other computers ping the router?
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> axyjo: weird, not sure about that one, now its a little clearer maybe someone can chime in. i personally use apt-get purely
[09:53] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, when I prest Ctrl-C it shows ping statistics: 35 packets transmitted, 0 received, +30 errors, 100% packet loss, time 34132ms, pipe 3
[09:53] <generalsnus> ActionParsnip1: no, i wasnt asked for a password.. nor do i want a password for mounting usb devices
[09:53] <ikonia>  wiehan I can't at the moment, use the pastebin please]
[09:53] <Sorcererbob> ok kanchana: can other computers ping the router?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> generalsnus: theres a way but i'm unsure, i think ikonia knows of it ;)
[09:54] <axyjo> ActionParsnip1: so do i, and it happens with apt-get too. it doesn't happen with all packages, just certain ones.
[09:54] <wiehan> ikonia: what do you mean? can we go on?
[09:54] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, how can i try it? On the second computer I have windows (from that I am now writing you) so, what should I do to ping router?
[09:54] <ikonia> wiehan: what is the current status
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> generalsnus: it reduces security of the system by allowing users greater access to admin actions though and I dont personally condone it but, its your system
[09:54] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: start > run > cmd
[09:54] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: black window appears. Type "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"
[09:55] <kanchana> exactly, I thought that
[09:55] <ActionParsnip1> axyjo: can you give a pastebin example including the command that you execute
[09:55] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, it is pinging very well
[09:55] <wiehan> ikonia: array /dev/md1 started. But first it warned that the one drive is more than 1% larger than the other...
[09:55] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, without any problem or fault
[09:55] <ikonia> wiehan thats fine, thats a very valid warning
[09:55] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: do you know the method of allowing selected commands to not reqquire sudo please?
[09:55] <ikonia> wiehan: your disks ARE different sizes, so thats great warning
[09:55] <ikonia> ActionParsnip1: setuid ?
[09:56] <Sorcererbob> goodo kanchana: And now I can't remember which functions work on ubuntu... but try "service iptables status"
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> !setuid
[09:56] <ikonia> ActionParsnip1: you want the command to run as root but not actually require sudo ?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: generalsnus does
[09:56] <meckle> __3rd time, same question__ I need help with zenity text-info I'm running this   zenity --text-info filename=/home/myname/Cron/backupALL.log --width 530  but it doesn't show anything in the text info window
[09:56] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, how? if I write it in terminal it says: iptables: unrecognized service
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: for mount
[09:57] <wiehan> ikonia: will that be a problem? I want to be using 250gb + 160gb as a 410gb drive basically?
[09:57] <ikonia> ActionParsnip1 chmod 7750 (last 3 digits are what ever it was before) 7 infront puts setuid on it
[09:57] <Sorcererbob> ok kanchana, thats cool. Its a wired connection, right? not wireless?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: on the mount binary?
[09:57] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, yes, it is wired connection ADSL without router
[09:58] <ikonia> wiehan: won't be a "problem" as such, it's just a warning that data won't be spread even and there is s slightly bigger chance of file system inconsistancy
[09:58] <ikonia> ActionParsnip1: correct
[09:58] <Unknown0BC> dns53, neither ffplay nor vlc wants ( or mplayer ) wants to play .amr files. How can I get it to work ?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> meckle: well then its clear noone can help, id try later when different users are in
[09:58] <wiehan> ikonia: that's ok...
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: ty man
[09:58] <Raven> hi
[09:58] <theatrustop> wiehan, but when either disk goes splat, your data is basically gone
[09:58] <Raven> is there any way to use update-java-alternatives to work with a jdk downloaded from sun.com?
[09:58] <mrfelton> hi
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> generalsnus: did you get all that?
[09:58] <ikonia> ActionParsnip1: fyi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid
[09:58] <elijah_frost> Good day ladies and gentlemen.The question is kinda kubuntu-related but I hope to get help anyway.  How do I switch keyboard layout? KMenu -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout -> XKb options doesn't work for me (I've tried to bind it to ctrl+shift but it doesn't seem to be working). I have no idea why doesn't my binding work. What am I doing wrong if anything?
[09:58] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: when you say "without router" I imagine you mean that the device which connects you to the internet also provides the network functionality. Is that correct?
[09:59] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, exactly :-)
[09:59] <psypher246> hey guys, is there a way to make firefox output debug message to trace why it's crashing. i've tried running from the cli, all it says is aborted
[09:59] <gnomefreak> elijah_frost: did you try in #kubuntu?
[09:59] <ikonia> wiehan: on, NOW that it looks like it's worked (you can cat /proc/mdstat to se the status of the array) do an mdadm --detail --scan and you should have the right info
[09:59] <elijah_frost> gnomefreak: I did
[09:59] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: run it from terminal without &, you will get outputs
[09:59] <psypher246> nope
[09:59] <psypher246> i tried that
[09:59] <psypher246>  i've tried running from the cli, all it says is aborted
[10:00] <dns53> Unknown0BC amr are kind of experimental (i have never got one myself) but i have heard that the main library ffmpeg does have the option to compile support for it, it is a heavily patent protected format
[10:00] <gnomefreak> elijah_frost: they are better equiped to handle menus and things related to KDE only
[10:00] <Sorcererbob> ok kanchana... lets see "service network restart"
[10:00] <Flegel> hi all! Can anyone help me with domain users pam authorization ?
[10:00] <wiehan> ikonia: /proc/mdstat: command not found
[10:00] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: then read logs, or you could run firefox --debug (I think, check man firefox)
[10:00] <ikonia> wiehan cat /proc/mdstat
[10:00] <rfxcasey> I am planning on installing XP on another drive I need help Identifying things like HDD 0,1 or 1,1
[10:00] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, I wrote it in terminal and it says: network: unrecognized service
[10:00] <psypher246> --debug goes into some kind of terminal debig mode, don't understand what they want from me after that\
[10:00] <gnomefreak> ActionParsnip1: there is no man page for it
[10:01] <gnomefreak> use firefox help
[10:01] <psypher246> what logs should i specifically look for, tried kernel, syslog, messages
[10:01] <mrfelton> I'm still batteling trying to figure out what is causing my net connection to be slow ridiculously slow ( a usual 70000kbps down to about 95kbps). I have disabled all services on my laptop, installed the firestarter firewall, kicked everyone off the network except my two laptops...
[10:01] <aldin> how do i automaticaly boot vboxdrv module during the boot without "scripting", everytime i had to do modprobe vboxdrv before using vbox, is there some way that kernel remembers my last list of modules?
[10:01] <aldin> * scripting - no manualy typing modprobe vboxdrv in some boot script
[10:01] <wiehan> ikonia: [[10:01] <ActionParsnip1> gnomefreak: http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/firefox
[10:01] <ikonia> wiehan still building the array
[10:01] <luddite> beni : kill it and see what happens. in terminal go "ps aux | grep exim" then find the pid number of the process. then go "kill XXX"
[10:01] <theatrustop> wiehan, did you set up a mirror?
[10:02] <gnomefreak> ActionParsnip1: our package doesnt have a man page
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/firefox
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> gnomefreak: well everyone elses does
[10:02] <gnomefreak> none of our mozilla packages have a man page
[10:02] <mrfelton> I don't know what else to try :(
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> gnomefreak: good jo i have a few different linux distros installed eh ;)
[10:02] <gnomefreak> ActionParsnip1: we didnt make one on purpose
[10:02] <Sorcererbob> kanchana: I'm sorry to say it, but I don't recall enough about ubuntu to continue... I've been using CentOS for the last year or so :(
[10:02] <dns53> aldin the file /etc/modules has modules to load on boot
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> gnomefreak: why, thats silly
[10:02] <Raven> anyone know how to add more options to update-java-alternatives?
[10:03] <mrfelton> I checked for rootkits too - none found
[10:03] <wiehan> ikonia: oh, so it is rebuilding it in the background? So I need to check back concurrently to see when it is 100%... strange..
[10:03] <gnomefreak> ActionParsnip1: not really since help gives you everything
[10:03] <kanchana> Sorcererbob, actually, what's in brief what should I do now?
[10:03] <lianimator> Help on JAVA app with Eclipse? JOptionPane.showInputDialog gives a frozen dialog box. Have to Force Quit.
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> gnomefreak: well the man page is a few hundred kb in size, every other app has a man page
[10:03] <theatrustop> Raven, use the full update-alternatives
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> gnomefreak: makes no sense whatsoever
[10:03] <ikonia> wiehan: you got it
[10:03]  * gnomefreak has way too much work to make any so if someone cares to write one we will add it
[10:03] <axyjo> ActionParsnip1: sure http://pastie.org/342167 sorry for the delay
[10:03] <wiehan> lianimator: go to ##eclipse or ##java
[10:04] <psypher246> ActionParsnip1: i'm just trying anything, every single browser i install crashes randomly while browsinf
[10:04] <theatrustop> lianimator, try ##java
[10:04] <mrfelton> One thing I have noticed is that firestarter is catching shit loads of outgoing connections to really random port numbers. How can I find out what these are caused by? They all oriinate from my machine.
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> gnomefreak: just copy that text, its been done for you (?)
[10:04] <psypher246> ActionParsnip1: so what logs do i look at?\
[10:04] <dns53> lianimator adjust the command line options for eclipse to allow java to use more memory
[10:04] <rfxcasey> I am planning on installing XP on another drive I need help Identifying the location of all my partitions
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: any and all you can find
[10:04] <mrfelton> if I look up the IP of these connections, they are really really random websites
[10:04] <anon> I'm not quite sure how to phrase this, but is it possible to boot an older kernel with intrepid?
[10:04] <gnomefreak> ActionParsnip1: wish it was that easy
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles
[10:04] <C0p3rn1c> is there more opensuse like gnome menu for ubuntu ?
[10:04] <anon> i'm experiencing the exact issue in this thread
[10:04] <dns53> anon sure you can
[10:05] <mrfelton> I thought it might have been because someone was bouncing off my apache proxy or something, but I have since turned apache off!
[10:05] <anon> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972696
[10:05] <ActionParsnip1> C0p3rn1c: opensuse uses kde doesnt it?
[10:05] <anon> which also seems to be related to other threads cataloging high cpu use from Xorg
[10:05] <Raven> theatrustop, what is the full update-alternatives?
[10:05] <C0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip1: they use both
[10:05] <lianimator> dns53: care to tell me where to adjust this? in preferences->?
[10:05] <rfxcasey> need help setting up XP dual boot with an existing Ubuntu install
[10:05] <gnomefreak> ActionParsnip1: IIRC you can choose either DE during install
[10:05] <wiehan> ikonia: hang on for me.. it's at 45%... check back in couple of minutes..
[10:06] <C0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip1: I'm going to try opensuse today, after there new release, it looks pretty userfriendly
[10:06] <psypher246> after running firefox --debug and get (gdb)  promnts what then???\/
[10:06] <ActionParsnip1> C0p3rn1c: theres a replacement menu system for kde i know of
[10:06] <gnomefreak> rfxcasey: better off havin windows installed first
[10:06] <rfxcasey> gnome
[10:06] <gnomefreak> psypher246: hold on we have a wiki on debugging firefox
[10:06] <ActionParsnip1> C0p3rn1c: its good to try differernt distros
[10:06] <anon> dns53, how would you go about loading a much older kernel in Ubuntu 8.10?
[10:07] <theatrustop> Raven, update-alternatives
[10:07] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: if you install windows then ubuntu the dual booting will be handled for you
[10:07] <C0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip1: yes, I'm trying to find a system that works best for everyone in my family
[10:07] <theatrustop> mrfelton, you have some serious issues then
[10:07] <rfxcasey> gnomefreak, I have a tutorial that says all I have to do is save my menu.lst
[10:07] <ActionParsnip1> C0p3rn1c: unless you all have identical needs, its not going to happen
[10:07] <anon> 2.6.27-7-generic and 2.6.27-9 are available in synaptic
[10:07] <mrfelton> theatrustop, yes.. but what!?
[10:08] <theatrustop> mrfelton, lsof -i will show you which process has which network connection open
[10:08] <gnomefreak> rfxcasey: do it as you wish i just suggested the easiest way
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: if you install ubuntu first, the grub bootloader will be overwritten and need to be reinstalled from live cd
[10:08] <dns53> lianimator edit the command line for the icon, right click the menu and select edit menu, then edit the eclipse icon, do a search google search for the command line option for memory, i don't have it on me
[10:08] <anon> but the individual lashi in the thread link above suggested a rollback to hardy kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
[10:08] <psypher246> gnomefreak: thanks although the problem is not with FF but with every browser possible on ububtu
[10:08] <C0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip1: yeah I figured that, w'll see, it would be much easyer to manage though
[10:08] <rfxcasey> gnomefreak, the easiest way doesn't involve wiping out my current Linux install
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: the menu.lst is untouched, its the boot sector on the physical disk that will point to the windows boot loader
[10:08] <gnomefreak> psypher246: what exactly is it?
[10:09] <anon> to fix the problem
[10:09] <dns53> anon add the sources.list from hardy for example and install it using aptitude/synaptic
[10:09] <psypher246> i'm just grabbing at straws, almost to the point of buying support from canonical but io cannot afford till next year, so completely useless wortk pc till then
[10:09] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, ok I know this I just need some details
[10:09] <gnomefreak> rfxcasey: than install windows and use alternate cd to reinstall grub
[10:09] <psypher246> gnomefreak: Cannot browse the internet on either Opera, epiphany or firefox. Since 2 weeks ago my browser just crashes all the time. I have tried safe mode, new profile, re-install ff, all plugins disabled, , disabled compiz, uninstall java, uninstall flash and a heavy system stress test. Nothing works. FF and other browsers will still randomly crash. I have started a forum post on the problem but no resolution yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread
[10:09] <anon> dns53, ok to pm?
[10:09] <riz0n> Just out of curiosity, is webmin a good web-based application for Ubuntu server?
[10:09] <dns53> anon you could also look through your hardy mirror and download the .deb and install it
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: what do you need?
[10:09] <stefg> wiehan: that's actually a quite straightforward thing. The only catch is that teh win installer  will overwrite your mbr, so you will have to restore grub afterwards
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> !webmin | riz0n
[10:09] <mrfelton> theatrustop, but I don't see anything abnormal... 5xskype, 1xirc, 7xthunderbird, 7xjava + 1 ssh
[10:09] <dns53> anon go ahead
[10:10] <riz0n> !ebox
[10:10] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, I need to know how to Identify where my partition are you know like 0,1 and 1,1
[10:10] <generalsnus> how can i get usb disk to mount automaticly on desktop in xubuntu? or how can i make a application launcher on desktop..with the command: thunar /media/$USER/usbdisk-sda1
[10:10] <gnomefreak> psypher246: that isnt a browser bug, that is something on the system doing it
[10:10] <theatrustop> psypher246, if you're have crashing issues with everything, its either a shared library got whacked (try aptitude reinstall) or your system has serious RAM consistency issues
[10:10] <theatrustop> mrfelton, watch out for Skype, it can turn your system into a routing supernode
[10:10] <acedip> i'm getting following errors when i did a fsck on my external drive http://pastebin.com/m57d98048
[10:10] <meckle> Are there any users online who know anything about Zenity?
[10:11] <stefg> generalsnus: actually that should be default behaviour. does it not work ?
[10:11] <acedip> any help here
[10:11]  * mrfelton quits skype!
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: 0 is the first disk, 1 is the second disk etc. 0,0 is first disk first partition, 0,1 is first disk second partition
[10:11] <mrfelton> theatrustop, I never knew that
[10:11] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, I don't know a whole lot about why the storage device manager calls it sda and sdb but in other context it is hdd 0,1
[10:11] <wiehan> ikonia: what's this I hear about restoring GRUB after this?
[10:11] <JumboJellyfish> no skype on ubuntu?
[10:11] <stefg> !grub | wiehan
[10:12] <Ranakah> JumboJellyfish  getdeb.com
[10:12] <psypher246> theatrustop: heavy system stress test.  not ram . aptitude reinstall? will that reinstall all apps and not hose my current config?
[10:12] <ChrisBookwood> Hi
[10:12] <theatrustop> psypher246, you have to name the packages
[10:12] <theatrustop> psypher246, you can try debsums too
[10:12] <theatrustop> psypher246, see if anything got changed
[10:12] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, Well I know this and when I installed Ubuntu I put it on the second disk which is on a SATA1 controller and later I would put XP on the SATA2 controller for more speed gaming
[10:12] <psypher246> debsums?
[10:13] <wiehan> stefg: I know exatly what GRUB is... but wasn't aware of this
[10:13] <generalsnus> stefg: no it dosent.. i can find the usb disk at /media/usbdisk-sda1
[10:13] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, my mobo has both types
[10:13] <aiso> hi all -can canybody recommend a good CLI file manager that would let me select multiple (random) files in a folder and then copy them somewhere else?
[10:13] <ChrisBookwood> Which email application should I use, if I want to be able to make birthdaycard like email, and other stuff like that? I use evolution at the moment
[10:13] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, and I have 2 drives
[10:13] <theatrustop> psypher246, goes through your package repository and verifies checksums on installed files
[10:13] <theatrustop> like, all of them
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: i think !grub will tell youo how to identify
[10:13] <theatrustop> aiso, midnight commander ?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | rfxcasey
[10:13] <gnomefreak> aiso: did you try MC?
[10:13] <psypher246> theatrustop: now THAT is the shit!!!
[10:13] <stefg> generalsnus: then check that 'show volimes on desktop' option is checked in the xfce settings
[10:14] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1 yeah the default is menu.lst I have it backed up to a flash disk already
[10:14] <theatrustop> psypher246, had a server that subtly whacked libc once in an XFS accident
[10:14] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: you could use apt-build and rebuild your system from source
[10:15] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: well if no disks move then it should be the same
[10:15] <psypher246> theatrustop: k it's running, will it output if there any errors at the end or should i grep for errors?\
[10:15] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, so how do I know what is the primary drive?
[10:16] <theatrustop> run it -c or -s to just show errors
[10:16] <psypher246> ActionParsnip1: heard bout that. will check it out. the only thing i want to avoid is a re-install, just too much work and no bandwidth
[10:16] <stefg> So here we have 'firefox-blurry-fonts'-problem... once again. with every new release and new xorg-version you have to find a different workaround to the font mess in linux .... i'm so tired of it. This time it's espicially
[10:16] <psypher246> ActionParsnip1: i'll do ANYTHIGN to not re-install
[10:16] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: made my firefox and fretsonfire run like a dream
[10:16] <stefg> .. especdially the ubuntu pages which got substituted a quite stupid font, which renders bad in firefox
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> psypher246: its doesnt reinstall, just makes new files from source with the optomisation you choose
[10:17] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, I have a samsung and a western digital I believe the samsung is on the Sata II controller which I only have one of and the WD is on one of my 2 regular Sata controllers
[10:17] <stefg> Anyone already went thru this and has some advice
[10:17] <psypher246> so it's kind of like debian from scratch?
[10:17] <ChrisBookwood> Which email application should I use, if I want to be able to make birthdaycard like email, and other stuff like that? I use evolution at the moment
[10:17] <theatrustop> ActionParsnip1, I thought the firefox debuild masked out any custom optimization settings?
[10:17] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, my ubuntu install should be on the 1.5Gbs Sata
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: read the !gru stuff, i think it helps identify the drives and partitions
[10:17] <riz0n> well it appears that the "Ebox" installation procedures on the page provided by !ebox is inaccurate
[10:18] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1,
[10:18] <rfxcasey> ok one more question
[10:18] <gnomefreak> !ebox
[10:18] <tiyowan> stefg: I'm sorry, I missed the description of your problem. Could you repeat it please?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> theatrustop: runs the sme customisations here, just smoother as i ave it sse3 ;)
[10:18] <gnomefreak> riz0n: what is wrong with the output of !ebox?
[10:18] <theatrustop> they must have changed that then
[10:19] <theatrustop> I should try it on my 64bit machine with gcc 4.3 and -mtune=core2
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> theatrustop: i can only tell you what i see, maybe they did
[10:19] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, if I had a 2 swap partitions, one on each drive (I did it with partitionmagic....don't ask why) how can I be sure if I delete the one on the future windows disk it won't screw up my machine
[10:19] <gnomefreak> ikonia: are you able to edit bot triggers incase i miss the problem with it?
[10:19] <riz0n> on the page, it instructs you to put the following line in your sources.list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/juruen/ubuntu/ hardy main then do sudo apt-get update
[10:19] <riz0n> when you actually do the update it returns a 404 file not found
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: check the fstabs of the installed linuxes
[10:20] <stefg> tiyowan, the problem is that fonts render differently in each version of ubuntu... in intrepid the problem is that a lot of web pages have blurry fonts, because the font substitution stupidly chooses a font which isn't hinted right for this xorg-version
[10:20] <C0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip1: I just asked in #opensuse and it's gnome, if your interested you can check out the demo here : http://www.novell.com/linux/demos/desktop.html (this is the enterpise edition but it looks the same in opensuse)
[10:20] <rfxcasey> ActionParsnip1, how do I do that
[10:20] <ikonia> gnomefreak: I think so
[10:20] <rww> riz0n: oh, so the wiki page is wrong, not the factoid?
[10:20] <riz0n> the factoid works
[10:20] <gnomefreak> riz0n: thats the PPA most likely he dropped the packages but i will look. do yuou have correct repos for it?
[10:20] <riz0n> the wiki page isn't
[10:21] <tiyowan> stefg: Indeed. My fonts looked horrible when I installed intrepid, but I found a nice fix btw.
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> rfxcasey: read /etc/fstab of each system and make sure its not poiting /swp to the other drive
[10:21] <riz0n> i dont think i do
[10:21] <riz0n> i just want to make sure im using the latest version of the code
[10:21] <C0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip1: Maybe it's a good idea to port these menu's to ubuntu
[10:21] <emman1> how do i connect to undernet server in a gaim program?
[10:21] <gnomefreak> riz0n: ok let me look into it. give me a few minutes
[10:21] <stefg> tiyowan so i'm eager to hear it :-)
[10:21] <ikonia> emman1 gaim is dead, its replaed with pidgin
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> C0p3rn1c: what menus?
[10:22] <C0p3rn1c> ActionParsnip1: start menu and configuration tools
[10:22] <psypher246> theatrustop: what shoudl i look for when debsums is finished?
[10:22] <emman1> really? but i still use it with my yahoo account
[10:22]  * gnomefreak doesnt have a browser atm so it may be a while
[10:22] <allsystemsarego> tiyowan, how did you fix the ugly fonts?
[10:22] <theatrustop> any checksums mismatched
[10:22] <emman1> it still work.
[10:22] <ikonia> emman1 what version of ubuntu are you on ?
[10:22] <tiyowan> stefg: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/15/tweak-your-font-rendering-for-better-appearance/ <- I had to edit my fonts.conf file. Apparently, there's a patent issue with Apple, which is why this wasn't included in Intrepid by default.
[10:22] <rfxcasey>  read the !gru stuff, i think it helps identify the drives and partitions????? where do I find this
[10:23] <theatrustop> missing is usually ok, some packages don't include checksums
