[00:00] <BlinkyToon> sinan, Bolivia, South America
[00:00] <nbeebo> dr-willis ah i see.. but i need some with support for gtk applications like pidgin etc, just wanna try some few out
[00:00] <nbeebo> i know theres screenlets and desklets, what else are there?
[00:00] <nemo> joaopinto: um. my point is I'd like a system that should work reliably :-p
[00:00] <DarkMage2303> For my router, I have to setup my DNS settings manually - I can't let my computer find it automaticly or else my internet won't work. I'm trying to setup the DNS settings on Ubuntu 8.10, can someone help me?
[00:00] <nemo> joaopinto: your response implies to me my intuition is correct. there'd be trouble
[00:00] <joaopinto> nemo, hibernation is not reliably on linux, at least in general
[00:01] <zsquareplusc> DarkMage2303: system->prefs->network should have a tab for that
[00:01] <joaopinto> if you want reliability, shutdown :)
[00:01] <tiyowan> hi.
[00:01] <nbeebo> like i would say..
[00:01] <nemo> joaopinto: ugh. fine. 1x of swap and just being careful :-/
[00:01] <nbeebo> HELLO.
[00:01] <sinan> BlinkyToon: you guys have fast internet? over here they have just introduced 8mbps :P
[00:01] <nemo> joaopinto: I'd just as soon give swsup its own partition, but if that's not normal/possible, will just not worry about it :-/
[00:01] <btoogood> DarkMage2303: what is the problem?
[00:02] <zsquareplusc> nemo: i was using hibernation on my desktop for many weeks. it worked well. then i had some filesystem corruption (nothing missing though) so i stopped using it. because i was not sure what caused the corruption
[00:02] <joaopinto> nemo, is is possible, not normal
[00:02] <DarkMage2303> For my computer I have to type in the dns, it can't get it manually
[00:02] <y0315219> why i cannot install yahoo messenger ?
[00:02] <nbeebo> !swap
[00:02] <DarkMage2303> and I've typed in the DNS settings, and it still doesn't let me connect to the internet
[00:02] <the_grouch> can someone help me with my question?
[00:02] <zsquareplusc> nemo: but it worked well for months, and using hibernate 20 times in a row without reboot.  though rebooting some time helps that the computer runs faster again
[00:02] <nbeebo> y0315219 its a window application, i think pidgin det preinstalled works with all kinds of IMs
[00:02] <DarkMage2303> and the settings are correct because I am using them on the computer I'm on at the moment
[00:03] <matreya6> Did you restart Bind or PowerDNS?
[00:03] <nbeebo> windows*
[00:03] <nbeebo> the not det lol
[00:03] <ghostknife> When I do a system update which updates the kernel, it won't remove my previous kernel right?
[00:03] <joaopinto> ghostknife, right
[00:03] <nemo> zsquareplusc: from responses so far, sounds like hibernate, as currently configured will ONLY be reliable if your swap partition is not used to the point where it exceeds main memory
[00:03] <btoogood> DarkMage2303: so you are not getting then via dhcp?
[00:03] <ghostknife> I know the previous system update didn't want to boot the new kernel, so I switched back to the old, and now it would be a 3rd kernel, and if it doesn't boot eiter I still want to use the first one
[00:03] <nemo> zsquareplusc: or at least, I hope, the portion of memory that isn't being used for cache
[00:03] <DarkMage2303> if it gets it vis dhcp it doesn't let me connect on Windows, I have to set it manually
[00:03] <nemo> zsquareplusc: but, yeah, probably obsessing too much.
[00:04] <marek_> hi i have very strange problem - i use blueman, and my phone paired with my notebook, i can browse through files, in two directions, but my hone thinks that my notebook is headset, but on my pc i dont hear anything, what should i do?
[00:04] <nemo> zsquareplusc: I'd allocate a ton of swap space but this stupid laptop has only a 60GiB HD and I need to reserve at least half of it for some windows software required for work.
[00:04] <the_grouch> I realize that ubuntu is created with multicore processors in mind; however, is ubuntu studio also optimized for dual and quad core?
[00:04] <btoogood> DarkMage2303: that is strange, windows should do that automatically
[00:04] <tiyowan> Anybody using intrepid + ati drivers + hibernation successfully?
[00:04] <DarkMage2303> since my dad got this new router it doesn't
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> nemo: yes, for hibernate is needs to store RAM /o caches + used swap. but i'd hope that its detecting when it does not fit. (i had such cases, then it was not shutting down, it came up again)
[00:05] <nemo> zsquareplusc: (my first experiment will be seeing if I can setup a complete SAP development env under linux ;) )
[00:05] <DarkMage2303> ;/
[00:05] <BlinkyToon> y0315219, YahooMessenger is a Windows program, NOT for Linux .. Ubuntu has a couple of decent IM programs such as Pidgin and Kopete (KDE)
[00:05] <btoogood> DarkMage2303: hmm no idea sorry there
[00:05] <ghostknife> joaopinto: is the a definite then?
[00:05] <matreya6> nemo, regarding SAP, you can use the Java 710r6 client
[00:05] <the_grouch> anyone?
[00:05] <DarkMage2303> Hmm
[00:05] <DarkMage2303> :(
[00:05] <DarkMage2303> time for google..
[00:05] <nbeebo> i know theres screenlets and desklets, what else are there?
[00:06] <nemo> matreya6: hm. that's the R3 right?
[00:06] <wvw--forzamaltep> wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m
[00:06] <tiyowan> I can suspend on a dell 9400, but no hibernation. :-)
[00:06] <wvw--forzamaltep> wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m
[00:06] <matreya6> nemo, no, NetWeaver
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: follow links in wikipedia ;-)
[00:06] <brad__> im having some problems getting adobe flash 10 to run on Ubuntu 8.04. I've tried atleast 3 different ways to install it and none of them have worked.
[00:06] <nemo> matreya6: riiight. but isn't that revision the one for R3? :)
[00:06] <matreya6> nemo, but it is also compatible with R/ 3 yes
[00:06] <wvw--forzamaltep> wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m
[00:06] <wvw--forzamaltep> wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m
[00:06] <bsdbandit> does suspend work in 8.10 running on the mac book
[00:06] <node357> the_grouch, ubuntu studio does not support multiple processors as far as I know
[00:06] <nemo> someone k/b the spammer
[00:07] <brad__> or would you guys suggest just installing adobe flash 9 instead?
[00:07] <nemo> matreya6: ah. not requireed though. ok. cool. still learning SAP.  only thing I know is that R3 requires 4GiB of memory and the client isn't on it anyway.
[00:07] <L3Tum> Anyone know what package I need to fix this? I tried apt-file search and it tells me a location where the Xdbe.. is, I assume this means I have it, but I still get the error. "configure: error: Could not find XdbeQueryExtension in -lXext"
[00:07] <nemo> matreya6: amusingly SAP is not terribly windows compatible from my exp in the training class :)
[00:08] <wvw--forzamaltep> wvw--forzamaltepe--c0m
[00:08] <joaopinto> L3Tum, apt-cache search libxext dev
[00:08] <joaopinto> !ops
[00:08] <matreya6> nemo, yes that was a hoot indeed. All people struggling, while I had my setup ready on my Macbook in say.. 2 minutes :-D
[00:08] <L3Tum> joaopinto: That was fast, thanks
[00:09] <nemo> matreya6: oh!!! it works on OSX??
[00:09] <nemo> matreya6: sweeeet.  you'll make 2 students very very happy
[00:09] <matreya6> nemo, Oh yes, like a charm
[00:10] <Nabi> why does not works it: find * -size c[625]
[00:10] <nemo> matreya6: what I found hilarious was I was the only student to get it installed on my newly donated notebook.  I, who have hardly any windows exp
[00:10] <zexr0> Using Wubi, is it possible to have access on the partition that it is installed on ? I can see my two Sata drive, but not the IDE on which Ubuntu is installed
[00:10] <Nabi> what's corect?
[00:10] <joaopinto> Nabi, find path, not find mask
[00:10] <matreya6> nemo, as a matter of fact, I'm writing a tutorial how to get SAP working on linux and OsX, care to receive a copy when I have finished it?
[00:10] <joaopinto> find / -size 625
[00:10] <nemo> matreya6: sending you pm to stop hogging channel if you don't mind
[00:11] <Nabi> joaopinto: ok i try this: find / -size c[625]
[00:11] <joaopinto> Nabi, find / -size 625 -exec ls -la {} \;
[00:11] <enovativ> can anyone tell me what the room name is for samba
[00:11] <tiyowan> Did you folks trying using terminal server client with win. remote desktop?
[00:11] <enovativ> i tried " #samba " and it didn't work
[00:11] <joaopinto> tiyowan, yes
[00:12] <tiyowan> joaopinto: You managed to get it working?
[00:12] <Nabi> joaopinto: very thanks :X
[00:12] <btoogood> anyone used a windows pda on ubuntu
[00:12] <QPid> matreya6: Okay I installed xine + xine-ui
[00:12] <joaopinto> tiyowan, it works out of the box, at least with w2k3 servers
[00:12] <QPid> matreya6: Now what?
[00:13] <joedirt> enovativ: #samba is up
[00:13] <tiyowan> joaopinto: I'm trying to get it going with on a plain vanilla LAN of a couple of WinXP boxes. No AD services.
[00:13] <enovativ> thanks joedirt guess i will try it agin
[00:13] <joaopinto> tiyowan, it also worked fine with xp for me
[00:13] <joedirt> enovativ: "/join samba"
[00:13] <heret1c> I'm trying to fish pix out of a nokia 6070 by serial USB. how? have gnokii/gammu etc.
[00:14] <tiyowan> joaopinto: Oh? That's nice. I tried connecting to one of the machines at work, but I got a...channel service error or something like that.
[00:14] <joaopinto> never saw that error
[00:14] <Nabi> joaopinto: i have a file with 625 byte, but not found it!
[00:14] <heret1c> fish=fetch/get/download, pix=pictures
[00:15] <aboucher> how do you find out what version of ubuntu you have
[00:15] <joaopinto> Nabi, find does not fail
[00:15] <Nabi> find / -size 625

[00:15] <aboucher> let me try it
[00:15] <Nabi> joaopinto: no
[00:15] <joaopinto> NicEXE, you need libfmodex.so
[00:16] <aboucher> it worked.thnak you
[00:16] <NicEXE> joaopinto: how tho get that library?
[00:16] <joaopinto> Nabi, I mean, you must be doing some mistake, because find does not fail to find a file size based
[00:16] <joaopinto> NicEXE, google.com ;)
[00:16] <tiyowan> ok...let's see. You folks recommended a good resource on using the terminal? Besides the man pages.
[00:16] <moDumass> morning all, did a system update, selected restricted drivers for my vid card, but i am stuck in 600x800 land with no Compiz,,,, any ideas on where to start to fix this?
[00:16] <joaopinto> it's not available on the repositories because of license restrictions
[00:16] <joaopinto> tiyowan, help.ubuntu.com
[00:16] <teidon> is this room full of people all the time?
[00:17] <joaopinto> teidon, yes
[00:17] <teidon> thank you for telling me that..jaopinto.
[00:17] <aboucher> but i just updated from hardy to intrepid and my computer went to sleep and it thinks its hardy but have intrepid packages.
[00:17] <moDumass> teidon, mostly, sometimes theyre here but not here
[00:17] <aboucher> and it wont let me do it again
[00:17] <matreya6> QPid, now it is time to read the xine documentation, as I said the learning curve for this one is rather steep, but the rewards are tantalizing
[00:17] <Lasivian> hrrrm
[00:17] <teidon> other rooms were empty somehow.
[00:18] <aboucher> should i get an alternate iso and mount the image?
[00:18] <tiyowan> joaopinto: Too basic. Need something like compressed CS notes. :-)
[00:18] <zsquareplusc> !bash > tiyowan   see links at botom
[00:18] <LlFE> hello and good morning, i  have a fast - short question :-) sorry for this .... please can you tell me what irc client software you use in ubuntu ???
[00:18] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[00:18] <Lasivian> i'm thinking of getting a new chassis for my ubuntu server: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/sys/947913340.html wonder if it's worth it tho :/
[00:18] <joaopinto> aboucher, you can do that with the regular live cd
[00:18] <moDumass> LlFE xchatr
[00:18] <teidon> what do you talk about with each other in the chat room mostly?
[00:18] <zsquareplusc> the FloodBot talking to ubottu?
[00:18] <moDumass> LlFE XCHAT sorry
[00:18] <grandi> so are there any good games I could install on linux
[00:19] <aboucher> can you repeat what you said please
[00:19] <joaopinto> !ot | teidon
[00:19] <moDumass> !resolution
[00:19] <joaopinto> grandi, search for them on the package manager
[00:19] <LlFE> do you know any better client as xchat @moDumass ???
[00:19] <Hy71194> woot netsplits
[00:19] <carandraug> grandi: Teeworlds and tremulous
[00:19] <joaopinto> !best | LlFE
[00:19] <moDumass> LlFE you could use the mozilla chat app i guess
[00:20] <moDumass> which runs through firefox
[00:20] <grandi> joaopinto, well I think I have installed 'em all. that's why I'm asking
[00:20] <teidon> do any computers join the chat room?
[00:20] <moDumass> chatzilla
[00:20] <btoogood> LlFE: pidgin
[00:20] <joaopinto> grandi, google.com, linux games
[00:20] <nickrud> teidon, only the bots that are pre approved
[00:20] <Digit0> Hi
[00:20] <NicEXE> how can I get libfmodex.so ?
[00:20] <LlFE> ok, i try pidgin and xcat for this time, but i like blingbling thinks like mirc ,,, =)
[00:21] <Digit0> I got the black screen of death with an ATI card
[00:21] <teidon> do you think of me as a human being?
[00:21] <LlFE> you know any other ?
[00:21] <zsquareplusc> !games > grandi
[00:21] <Digit0> what can I do ?
[00:21] <joaopinto> NicEXE, http://www.fmod.org/
[00:21] <L3Tum> joaopinto: what about lXdamage? I tried both apt-file and apt-cache. Are there more of these I should search? how do I know which one to search, and is there a list somewhere of them all? (meaning the apt-file, apt-cache etc)
[00:21] <nickrud> teidon, until proven otherwise, but if you're gonna stay off topic, you'll end up getting removed from the channel
[00:21] <LlFE> oh chatzilla ... i try this .... thanks all for support
[00:22] <grandi> well 3D games are out of the question because using a radeon 3D and tv-card doesn't really work together
[00:22] <LlFE> have a good time .... bye
[00:22] <joaopinto> L3Tum, apt-cache search xdamage
[00:22] <alex_21> I have the gnome theme for session Mac and I can't install it. It just gives me the default
[00:23] <moDumass> my brain is being eaten by my ubuntu install
[00:23] <moDumass> it wont allow my screen to look awesome like it used to
[00:23] <moDumass> it looks like windows 3.0
[00:23] <moDumass> thats not cool
[00:23] <alex_21> I added it to gdm.conf-custom, but I also have a gdm.conf ifle. Does this make a difference
[00:23] <alex_21> ?
[00:24] <tsrk> how do I find my partition name in (hd0,0) format?
[00:24] <Lasivian> what's a good unbuntu program for wireless network sniffing? (IE. something like netstumbler in windows) thanks
[00:24] <nickrud> aleX-xx, gdmsetup is a gui front end, helps you set up those things
[00:25] <moDumass> how do i upgrade from hardy to intrepid
[00:25] <nickrud> Lasivian, kismet is popular for that
[00:25] <nickrud> !upgrade > moDumass
[00:25] <moDumass> becazuse i was under the impression that it had happened
 I need a CLI utility, since I can't use a GUI really well over ssh
[00:25] <tiyowan> lasivian: I use kismet, but didn't try it with Ubuntu yet.
[00:25] <nickrud> alex_21, kismet is console
[00:26] <moDumass> thanks nickrud
[00:26] <btoogood> OT: but please read could be important

[00:30] <joedirt> btoogood: thx for sharing
[00:30] <Gerinych> why don't you disable sleep mode
[00:31] <angelo> zsquareplusc,  no I basiclly want to access the adslmodem gui which is connected to the red nic from any workstation on the green zone
[00:31] <aboucher> i did after. i forgot about it
[00:31] <Gerinych> ok, what does it say when you tried it again
[00:31] <alex_21> Help? Confused. I can't use GUI, no matter how nice it is, it isn't accessible to a blind person over ssh really
[00:31] <btoogood> joedirt: no worries by the way have you used a windows pda on ubuntu???
[00:31] <joedirt> nope
[00:31] <alex_21> So how do I fix my login theme then
[00:32] <aboucher> i went to the update manger and said there wasn't anyone new verdsions

[00:32] <Gerinych> hmmm... well, what i know from my own upgrade experience is that I couldn't tell ibex from heron at first
[00:33] <joedirt> _LoneCrow: maybe ur theme isnt a qt but a gtk theme for gnome
[00:33] <aboucher> i went to the ubuntu page and said you could upgrade with alternate iso and mount the image but i dont know how to do that
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> angelo: ok, i don't know that firewall. i was asking to check if you meant accessing a security relevant page from the outside. in that case i'd have recommended to make a connection using ssh and use its port forwarding
[00:33] <Timslin> anybpdy familiar with encoding films in ubuntu to mHD or x264?
[00:33] <L0neWolf> joedirt, did you mean me?
[00:33] <joedirt> yep
[00:33] <alex_21> What is kismet, since I just installed it by mistake
[00:33] <angelo> zsquareplusc,  No worries thanks anyways
[00:34] <aboucher> i know you your talking about but i checked my version, and said it was hardy
[00:34] <L0neWolf> joedirt, it doesn't matter which theme I use, even the ones that come with Ubuntu do it
[00:34] <zsquareplusc> alex_21: wireless network scanner, nothing useful for gdm
[00:34] <aboucher> hey Gerinych can you pm me to talk the chat is too busy

[00:35] <QPid> How do I decrypt a DVD to allow me to watch it?
[00:35] <alex_21> How do you edit a theme manually?
[00:36] <L0neWolf> oh I fixed it... switched from Emerald to GTK then back and it's as normal!
[00:36] <L0neWolf> huzzah
[00:36] <alex_21> If I uninstall kismet, it won't marm any other packages with the dependancies being removed?
[00:38] <tiyowan> Say, if I wanted to change from clicking to focus to following the mouse...would that setting be in compiz? I can't seem to find it in mouse.
[00:38] <robert__> how do i connect my palm treo to my laptop?
[00:38] <matt____> LjL: Hey buddy..I want to show you something: http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/wiki/index.php?title=Startup_with_Init.d
[00:39] <matt____> LjL: After you showed me how to do that with crontab and I got it working....I was browsing the wiki, trying to get images to work, and stumbled upon this ;)
[00:39] <abarai_renji> Timslin, i use filezilla, i just enter the ftp adress in the host form, if it doesn't require username and password i just click quickconnect and its done, you now can choose the file you want from the adress
[00:39] <joedirt> Anyone got an idea y my wifi frequently disconnected with ipv6 but works like a charm with ipv4 in 8.10?
[00:40] <QPid> This is ridiculous, next time I'll just torrent it.  How do I, when there's no empty space on my panel to right click the actual panel instead of an item on it?
[00:42] <linkmaster03> grendal_prime: move them to ~/.fonts/
[00:42] <matt_____> LjL: BTW, was wondering how to remove that thing I updated.
[00:42] <linkmaster03> grendal_prime: that folder might not be present; create it.
[00:43] <QPid> !dvd
[00:43] <grendal_prime> oh...wow...ok, well is there a manager for that..or...well just because im currious
[00:43] <linkmaster03> grendal_prime: no unfortunately

[00:44] <alex_21> If you want to know about a manager, you may find something on Google. I do everything command line so I don't know, but just because we here don't know,a there may be something
[00:44] <zsquareplusc> linkmaster03: i mean you probably have to toggle the expand flag there
[00:44] <leoechevarria> people, i'm sorry but i need your help

[00:45] <MaT-dg> can I set a compression level for screenshots? current ones are oversized..
[00:46] <zsquareplusc> MaT-dg: save jpeg instead of png
[00:46] <abarai_renji> Timslin, well i have never encounter one tha needs password, sorry, may somebody here can assist you further
[00:47] <zsquareplusc> MaT-dg: unfortunately the app launched by "printscreen" key doesnt support that directly
[00:47] <Gerinych> whenever i try to boot winxp from grub, i get a disk read error, any way to fix this without chainloading with vista's bootloader?
[00:47] <alex_21> How do you edit a theme manually?
[00:47] <alex_21> For GDM
[00:47] <leoechevarria> alex_21: uncompress the .tar.gz and see what's inside of it
[00:47] <leoechevarria> they're usually .png's and scripts
[00:48] <tsrk> how do i know what (hd0,#) my windows partition is?  I know it's /dev/sda3
[00:48] <zsquareplusc> Gerinych: you have the setdefault line? and if its is an other harddisk you may also need to use map
[00:48] <leoechevarria> tsrk: do you mean in grub legacy?
[00:48] <tsrk> leoechevarria, In grub, not sure if it's legacy
[00:48] <alex_21> I moved the resulting folder to /etc/gdm/themes/
[00:48] <remu> Hey guys, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 version, and I recently upgraded my ram from 2GB to 4GB, and yet, I've noticed that lately my system feels pretty sluggish. Sometimes I'll only have firefox open with one or two tabs, and rhythmbox running (as well as avant-window-naviagtor i guess), and when I am switching between tabs in firefox, it doesnt do it right away, and my music thats playing even skips a little bit. Intrepid should
[00:48] <remu> n't be feeling this irresponsive, i dont think....I don't know what to do. Everything in the Processes tab of System Monitor looks good too.
[00:48] <remu> Any Ideas?
[00:48] <leoechevarria> tsrk: it should be, none distro use grub2 for default... or that's what i think
[00:48] <MaT-dg> zsquareplusc: I'm converting now with GIMP, is there a hack for it? editing a command or something?
[00:49] <tsrk> leoechevarria, ok, how do I know what it is though?
[00:49] <leoechevarria> tsrk: grub-legacy or grub1, counts partition starting from 0, so sda3 is (sd0,2)
[00:49] <gleesond> is there a shell command that will tell me what the largest files on my computer are?
[00:49] <Gerinych> zsquareplusc: i have setdefault only on vista's entry and it loads fine. XP is also on a different hard drive than ubuntu/vuista
[00:49] <tsrk> leoechevarria, ok, thanks
[00:49] <gleesond> I have a small hard drice
[00:49] <gleesond> drive
[00:49] <gleesond> that keeps filling up
[00:49] <zsquareplusc> MaT-dg: there are command line converters, but i'm not sure if its worth it. i only use gimp for editing images
[00:50] <aboucher> know i only have one more question
[00:50] <aboucher> how do you get wine
[00:50] <PATX> mozzila covers up my top pannel and then the x button disapers
[00:50] <L3Tum> I finally got the new version of conky completely compiled and installed I think. I got it configured and ran make. So it should be installed now right? But when I type conky into the terminal to run conky, it opens the old one still. Even conky -v still says version 1.5.1 But I uninstalled conky from the Sypnatic BEFORE I compiled the new on
[00:51] <alex_21> sudo apt-get instal winehq
[00:51] <zsquareplusc> Gerinych: i've seen examples where map is used to swap device names, which is apparently needed when booting winblows from a second disk
[00:51] <joedirt> gleesond: u can sort the ls output by size with i think ls -S ..
[00:51] <MaT-dg> PATX: had the same problem once... It disapreared after rebooting
[00:51] <PATX> MaT-dg: ty
[00:51] <Gerinych> zsquareplusc: ok, so how do i do that
[00:52] <zsquareplusc> L3Tum: which yourbinary returns the path of the where you installed it?
[00:52] <alex_21> I moved the resulting folder to /etc/gdm/themes/, so how or what do I do now?
[00:52] <zsquareplusc> Gerinych: uh.. i don't know without looking it up with google
[00:53] <L3Tum> zsquareplusc: I don't understand your question
[00:53]  * Lasivian can't seen to find kismet install instructions
[00:53] <Lasivian> come to think of it, i've never installed anything not in a package :S
[00:53] <D-MAN> anyone know a good place to get better screensavers for  hardy?
[00:54] <backstabb> L3Tum: i think he was telling you to use the command "where [binaryname]"
[00:54] <zsquareplusc> L3Tum: "which" shows whre a binary is installed. is it returning the path you would expect?
[00:54] <backstabb> *which, my mistke
[00:55] <alex_21> I downloaded a GDM theme and untarred it. Now, I moved the resulting folder to /etc/gdm/themes/, so how or what do I do now?
[00:56] <L3Tum> I don't know, I just ./configure'd, installing packages as I needed them, then typed make and that was it.  Now, I moved the resulting folder to /usr/shared/gdm/themes/, so how or what do I do now?
[00:59] <AzizLight> is it normal that when I press Esc in Firefox the page doesnt stop loading?
[01:00] <Slasher`> filesystem even
[01:00] <earthling> Slasher:  yes, i forgot to mention that.
[01:00] <zsquareplusc> Lasivian: synaptic has two types of search now. make sure that the quicksearch text box is empty. and use the real search
[01:00] <backstabb> has anyone gotten hamachi to work in ubuntu? i'm having trouble with it
[01:00] <Slasher`> earthling; that's weird, because I had that same problem, but it somehow fixed itself
[01:01] <Muskie> ARFGH
[01:01] <leoechevarria> has anyone had this error when trying to enable dma on an ide drive ? HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[01:01] <Muskie> My X just died
[01:01] <earthling> Slasher`:  mine works ONCE then any subsequent attempts i get permission errors..  darn!!
[01:01] <zsquareplusc> alex_21: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf has a line GtkTheme=Human  you probably need to edit that one
[01:02] <Muskie> every time I boot it get to the laoding screen fine, but then the monitor turns off when it boots into X
[01:03] <zsquareplusc> Muskie: sounds like it uses a resolution your monitor does not like

[01:03] <scoil> anyone know about RIS and using ubuntu as a backend
[01:04] <Gerinych> zsquareplusc: i did that, it just says Starting up... and nothing happens
[01:04] <leoechevarria> joedirt: thanks, let's see
[01:04] <E4emacs4> is there a way to control vmware server without using the Web interface? I cant get anything working from that, it creates the VM but i dont see where to view it or anything, back in the day there used to be a non-web interface for it :/
[01:04] <aboucher> i got the wine commnad to work and then it failed at the last second
[01:05] <zsquareplusc> Gerinych: maybe someone dual booting can jump in. i don't load windows that way anymore (virtualbox :-)
[01:06] <carlf> Is there any way to make urlview exit immediately after it calls the browser? I have to press an extra 'q' to get back to mutt after I'm done with w3m.
[01:06] <Gerinych> does anyone know how to boot winxp from a different hard drive than ubuntu using grub? what I do gives me a disk read error
[01:07] <Muskie> either that or my computer going crazy cause things aren't plugged in right.
[01:08] <azfira> lasaudin
[01:08] <leoechevarria> Muskie: please, explain yourself clearly
[01:08] <earthling> Gerinych:  I dual boot XP and openSUSE on my laptop but from the same drive.  the only difference should be in the disk you specify in the grub command.  ie:  hd0,0 or hd0,1 etc..
[01:09] <MTecknology> earthling: make sure /boot and winxp are on the first drive - and install grub to that drive
[01:09] <roosel> can anyone tell me why that the ntfs option is greyed out in gparted when i try to make a new partition on my disk
[01:09] <MTecknology> Gerinych: ^^
[01:09] <MTecknology> Gerinych: xp doesn't like living on a second drive and if you just swap it from drive one to drive 2 it tends to freak out
[01:10] <roosel> im not trying to have seperate drives
[01:10] <Gerinych> mtecknology whats /boot
[01:10] <MTecknology> roosel: Do you already have 4 partitions on the drive?
[01:10] <roosel> Mtecknology it would be the 4th
[01:10] <Lasivian> damn.. does anyone know what the "source" for kismet would be for an ath5k?
[01:11] <MTecknology> !language > Lasivian
[01:11] <zsquareplusc> roosel: my guess is that you dont have ntfsprogs or a similar package that provides a mkfs.ntfs command. but maybe it is better to use windows to format the ntfs partition anyway?
[01:11] <alex_21> No such line GthThemes=anything
[01:11] <MTecknology> Gerinych: It's where all the bootup files to boot linux are stored. Technically it can be on any drive, buts I find it better to keep it on the first drive
[01:11] <roosel> hrmm okay thanks
[01:12] <Gerinych> mtecknology: ok, so all i have to do is install grub on my winxp partition?
[01:12] <MTecknology> roosel: What partitions do you already have created?
[01:13] <Timslin> where do i find winff in the repositories? What is/are the repositories?
[01:13] <MTecknology> Gerinych: You don't install grub to a partition. grub exists in the MBR, that's not a partition at all
[01:13] <MTecknology> !winff
[01:13]  * dr_willis wonders what winff is.
[01:13] <MTecknology> !info winff
[01:13] <zsquareplusc> alex_21: without "s" at the end
[01:14] <MTecknology> Timslin: It looks like winff.org has your answers
[01:14] <gleesond> would it be bad to delete the contents of /var/log?
[01:14] <Gerinych> MTecknology: Ok, I have 8Mb of unpartitioned space on the hard drive with xp's partition
[01:14] <alex_21> Or that either withou the s
[01:14] <alex_21> Without, sorry
[01:14] <gofg> I am being turned off by Ubuntu lately. I installed it on my EeePC HDA 900 and everything works perfectly except the wireless, which works about 10% of the time. Would anyone care to help me out? The steps I have taken: Installed the Eee custom Ubuntu kernal, installed the Atheros wifi drivers. What else is there I can do to make it work?
[01:15] <MTecknology> Gerinych: I don't think 8MB is enough to create a partition in...
[01:15] <zsquareplusc> alex_21: hm. it's what i see in my /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[01:15] <gleesond> gofg: use ubuntu eee
[01:15] <snoopy_> I am having wireless issues also.
[01:15] <Gerinych> MTecknology: Depends on the filesystem, probably
[01:15] <joedirt> gofg: but it works sometimes?
[01:15] <alex_21> osx-login About what line?
[01:15] <ali3nwar3> whats the terminal command to restart?
[01:15] <gofg> joedirt: Yes, i have not isolated what it is exactly that causes it to work
[01:15] <snoopy_> Running 8.04 on a IBM Thinkpad T30 with a Linksys G adapter
[01:16] <ryanr> Greetings, I am new to Ubuntu, I have been using Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD for fun.However, I discovered that some file names are changed into 000 after using Ubuntu , which can not be recognized or deleted by WinXP. Since the 000 keyword does not wokr quite well as it is used in many commands in Linux..I want to know if anyone can direct me to some threads on forum which discuss this matter in depth?
[01:16] <MTecknology> Gerinych: I'm pretty sure it takes more that 8MB to even create an NTFS partition
[01:16] <te_> Hello all -- I'm trying to figure out how my sound works in linux
[01:16] <zsquareplusc> alex_21: line 347
 About what line is this, it is possible my screen reader isn't picking it up with the find command
[01:16] <te_> I've been using a command line mp3 player
[01:16] <joedirt> gofg: does it disconnect freqeuntly after some time?
[01:16] <maxjust> ciao a tutti
[01:16] <Leefmc> Question: I used apt-get to install digikam, as i was installing it gave me a single y/n prompt like normal.. without reading i entered y, since i've never had an issue.  And how can i avoid it in the future? This feels like some f'n microsoft crap.. where they sneak in other applications with one install.
[01:16] <te_> and it makes a lound pop when i change songs
[01:16] <nickrud> alex_21, I pulled out gdmsetup, made a few changes: GraphicalThemes=circles/:happygnome enabled those themes , GraphicalTheme=Human selected the theme, and GtkRC=/usr/share/themes/Glossy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc sets some other theme settings
[01:16] <snoopy_> Sorry....   gotta go for a bit.

[01:17] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Sorry, i didnt think the one letter would count as swearing heh
[01:17] <joedirt> gofg: maybe u still want to try to blacklist ipv6
[01:17] <Digit0> with an ATI card
[01:18] <Gerinych> MTecknology: i can make an ext3 partition with thoughe 8mb
[01:18] <gofg> joedirt: How might I go about doing that?
[01:18] <Leefmc> MTecknology: So your not allowed to use swear replacements either? gosh darnet? ;)
[01:18] <Gerinych> *those
[01:18] <gofg> also, why would that help?
[01:18] <MTecknology> Leefmc: You did one swear and one swear replacement
[01:18] <MTecknology> Leefmc: and no, neither are allowed
[01:19] <MTecknology> Leefmc: Pay attention to what's going on and that won't happen. apt and synaptic both tell you what's going on.
[01:19] <Leefmc> MTecknology: oh he**, didnt even think that was a swear word heh. I am surprised, anyway.
[01:19] <DarkMage2303> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1004027
[01:19] <gofg> Anyone want to help me troubleshoot this issue then?
[01:19] <MTecknology> Gerinych: exactly my point. You can create certain types of partitions in that, but not NTFS.
[01:19] <Digit0> any help ?
[01:19] <Timslin> can i convert films to x264/mHD using WinFF?
[01:19] <Gerinych> MTecknology: yeah but why do you need an ntfs partition for grub
[01:20] <joedirt> gofg: add to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  a  new line: blacklist ipv6 , and reboot
[01:20] <MTecknology> Gerinych: also, NTFS partitions pad themselves about 8MB so it can never touch the edge of the drive anyway
[01:20] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Well put it this way, how would i remove their sneaky software installs?  I installed ruby via apt-get, then deleted the binary from /usr/bin manually. Now if i re-install ruby via apt-get i don't get the binary again. What can i do to restore everything?
[01:20] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Because digikam does not need kmail.. it never did before.
[01:20] <joedirt> gofg: worked with my weak wifi
[01:20] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Sneaking apps with other apps is a horrid thing in my opinion.
[01:20] <MTecknology> Leefmc: exactly, try remving them and see if your original install. It's possibl it now uses that as a dependency
[01:21] <eXcAliBuR> wondering if there is a good open source software for help desk support, ticket system, remote assistance.. the works
[01:21] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Before you were never given the default option of installing a bunch of other programs if you just want to use one.. heh
[01:21] <gofg> joedirt: I don't think that is the issue; i do not even have the option of joining a wifi network on the Wifi menu. I'm sorry, I was ambiguous as to what my problem was.
[01:21] <alex_21> No luck still About what line?
[01:21] <ryanr>  Greetings, I am new to Ubuntu, I have been using Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD for fun.However, I discovered that some file names are changed into 000 after using Ubuntu , which can not be recognized or deleted by WinXP.

[01:21] <nickrud> sinan, you tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall <all ruby packages> ?
[01:21] <gofg> ryanr: You'll need to disambiguate; what did it change? It is not supposed to even affect the hard drive.
[01:21] <zsquareplusc> Leefmc: maybe you confuse the list of dependencies with the list of pending upgrades? like apt-get is printing a list of packages if you have updates not yet installed?
[01:21] <MTecknology> Leefmc: It's not being sneaky, it's doing the best job it can at finding what dependencies you need to install the package. It's how package managers work.
[01:21] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Man, that boggles my mind.. i would have thought they would just use libraries for dependencies, not entire programs.
[01:22] <Leefmc> zsquareplusc: Pardon? All i know is i installed digikam and get 4 other programs with it.
[01:22] <MTecknology> Leefmc: that's normally the case. But that's a complaint you need to take up with the people that package the application.
[01:22] <sinan> nickrud: let me try :) thanks
[01:22] <tiyowan> Leefmc: Look on the bright side. At least you have an option to uninstall them. :-D
[01:22] <nickrud> sinan, you can get a list of all installed ones with   dpkg -l '*ruby*' | grep ^ii
[01:23] <ryanr> Thank you gofg, to be frank I did not change anything, that's what surprising.
[01:23] <kindofabuzz> anyone having problems with songbird? as in it crahes when something is trying to be played? #songbird is no help
[01:23] <tiyowan> Unlike some DRM software.
[01:23] <ryanr> I did tried to mount a partition sothat I can access to my harddrives and check if the documents are there...
[01:24] <ryanr> and also did a bit browsing
[01:24] <ryanr> that's it
[01:24] <gofg> ryanr: Hmm. Where did it create this new files? did these new files overwrite old WinXP files?
[01:24] <Leefmc> tiyowan: Well not really.. if it is the way MTecknology says, and the program does require those other 4 programs (which boggles my mind) then installing them would break the one program i want. Uninstalling an email client, a web browser, a media player, etc, would somehow break a photo organizer. heh
[01:24] <Digit0> anyone know what to do with the black screen of death ?
[01:24] <tiyowan> Leefmc: Should report it.
[01:24] <ryanr> It seems that those file named 000/001/002 without extension are based on original file of my system.
[01:25] <Leefmc> tiyowan: need to calm down first, feels like microsoft just snuck into my life again. ;)
[01:25] <zsquareplusc> Leefmc: well apt-cache show does not list kmail as dep for digikam, so that should not be installed.
[01:25] <E4emacs4> where is the java installation path on ubuntu? I need it for Opera, i cant get java working in it :/
[01:25] <MTecknology> Leefmc: If you uninstall kmail, it will tell you if it's going to remove your primary package or not. Just read what the messages say
[01:25] <ryanr> In XP, I can do nothing with them, In Unbuntu, I can delete or rename it
[01:25] <tsrk> Hey, my boot loader was on my windows recovery partition which I just erased and now I can't use grub to boot directly to the windows partition, when I select windows it says "NTLDR is missing".  What's the best way to fix this?
[01:25] <gofg> ryanr: Do you lack files in winxp that you had before? Is this an actual dangerous situation for your OS or is this simply a nuisance?
[01:26] <tiyowan> tsrk...I think you want to use the recovery console?
[01:26] <zsquareplusc> ryanr: i think these are files from checkdisk
[01:26] <tsrk> tiyowan, the windows one?
[01:26] <SuperDefenderX> Does anyone know how to stream Shoutcast with Banshee via Firefox 3.0? Banshee opens when I click the link, but no data treams

[01:26] <tiyowan> tsrk...yeah, the fixmbr or fixboot cmds.
[01:26] <tsrk> tiyowan, ok, thanks
[01:26] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Well removing it isn't the problem, im honestly not that offended by it being there (though i would like it to not be). I'm more offended by how it got on, and what needs it. Is there a log for program install/uninstall activities? So i can see make sure digikam is at fault for letting the other kde cronies in?
[01:26] <ryanr> I have recently discovered that the WinXP is not working properly.
[01:26] <tsrk> i'll try that
[01:26] <tiyowan> tsek: It'll overwite grub though.
[01:27] <ryanr> What makes me worry about is the 000/001/002 files may stop me from backing up using Ghost..etc
[01:27] <Robert_C> how do i give myself superuser rights?
[01:27] <MTecknology> Leefmc: if you use aptitude there is
[01:27] <ryanr> I will be back in a moment, thankyou
[01:27] <MTecknology> Leefmc: it's not at fault
[01:27] <gofg> ryanr: Do you think the ubuntu livecd caused this failure?
[01:27] <Leefmc> MTecknology: i used apt-get
[01:27] <nickrud> !sudo | Robert_C
[01:27] <alex_21> I mean no luck still
[01:27] <zsquareplusc> !sudo > Robert_C

[01:28] <gofg> tiyowan: Hm? No, Ryanr is having trouble, not I.
[01:28] <E4emacs4> where is the java installation path on ubuntu? I need it for Opera, i cant get java working in it :/
[01:28] <Leefmc> MTecknology: .. if digikam needs an email client to work properly, it is at fault. Or rather, it is responsible for the email client existing on my computer, and me seeing that as a problem, lends me to feel digikam is at fault.
[01:28] <MTecknology> Leefmc: execute "apt-cache show digikam" this will show you what the application needs to install to be able to run. I don't see anything extra except for it recomending konqueror

[01:28] <tiyowan> rubix: How did you remove the virus?
[01:29] <rubix> tiyowan, malwarebytes
[01:29] <MTecknology> Leefmc: Like I said, if you don't like how that package is installed, you need to pring it up with the devs, not us
[01:29] <rubix> tiyowan, i need to get into the drive to figure out what was removed so ic an fix it
[01:29] <Digit0> anyone know what to do with the black screen of death ?
[01:29] <MTecknology> Digit0: explain please
[01:29] <snowveil> Running Steam through Wine causes my CPU usage to skyrocket in the system monitor, even without any games loaded....does anyone else have this problem?
[01:29] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Well i came here not knowing that, searching for knowledge, etc.. and obviously a bit peeved by the microsoft vibes i was getting.
[01:30] <tiyowan> rubix...can you boot into windows?
[01:30] <snowveil> I'm running an athlon 64 2800+ with 1.5Gb of ram
[01:30] <aboucher> how do you java for firefox without wine
[01:30] <rubix> tiyowan, no
[01:30] <tiyowan> rubix: What msg do you get?
[01:31] <Leefmc> MTecknology: At this point i'd rather just wipe all traces of kde from my system and never go back :o. I dont wanna fight for the right to not be pushed into other apps being installed
[01:31] <rubix> tiyowan, no message, mouse appears and screen stays black
[01:31] <ryanr> Does anyone know about why using Ubuntu Live CD causes some files to corrupt? ((Change into filename 000 with no extension, can not do any operation on it in XP but it is possible in Ubuntu))
[01:31] <Leefmc> MTecknology: I assumed i did that when i left Windows hehe
[01:31] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Anyway, thanks for your help, and patience.
[01:31] <gofg> So guys, I really want wireless to work on my Eee. That is the whole reason why I bought this. Could someone please help me out getting it to work?
[01:31] <MTecknology> Leefmc: it looks like digikam is partially a kde app - so...
[01:31] <gofg> ryanr: Can you open them in gedit in linux?
[01:32] <Leefmc> MTecknology: I know.
[01:32] <tiyowan> rubix: Hmm. Tried booting into safe mode win?
[01:32] <chipbuddy> i didn't have any internet applications open, but my system monitor still said i was recieving data. how can i check exactly what processes are using the network?
[01:32] <zsquareplusc> aboucher: icedtea6-plugin provides a java plugin
[01:32] <kindofabuzz> ryanr, the live cd does nothing to the windows partition unless you do it yourself
[01:32] <Leefmc> MTecknology: That was partly my point. All kde apps.
[01:32] <MTecknology> gofg: did you try ubuntu eee?
[01:32] <MTecknology> Leefmc: he on
[01:32] <kindofabuzz> chipbuddy, you could use wireshark and see every packet
[01:32] <phatboy> chipbuddy, install wireshark
[01:32] <rubix> tiyowan, i will do that
[01:33] <gofg> MTecknology: I'd prefer using the standard Ubuntu with the custom Eee kernal. Is Ubuntu Eee any different than that, anyway? Also, if at all possible I would prefer fixing this without having to reinstall an OS.
[01:33] <chipbuddy> kindofabuzz, phtaboy, thanks
[01:33] <Leefmc> MTecknology: ? "he on"?
[01:33] <MTecknology> h on*
[01:33] <phatboy> tcpdump and netstat can give you an idea aswell chipbuddy
[01:33] <tiyowan> rubix: You should be able to boot into safe mode. Get in there, do a system restore if you have that active. Otherwise, run your antivirus/spyware/malware apps from there.

[01:34] <MTecknology> gofg: There are a lot of extra changes. Just try it out and see how it goes - you might be happy with the result
[01:34] <Guest34185> fresh install 8.10
[01:34] <MTecknology> Gerinych: I have no idea, probably
[01:34] <gofg> MTecknology: Any way to install it from within ubuntu (is it just another kernal), or do I have to completely wipe my drive again?
[01:35] <gofg> bah, nevermind, i'll google it
[01:35] <rubix> tiyowan, got the errors on disk fixed (had to do hard shutdown) now to view logfile and see what the app removed
[01:35] <MTecknology> gofg: Just try the live cd and see how it goes. I'm pretty sure that thing is live too
[01:35] <Lasivian> hrrm, not finding us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[01:35] <Lasivian> er rather is anyone else

[01:36] <zsquareplusc> gofg: you can boot it from USB sticks too

[01:36] <MTecknology> Leefmc: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php
[01:36] <gofg> that's how i installed originally
[01:36] <Leefmc> MTecknology: haha, thanks
[01:36] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: which version?
[01:37] <Leefmc> MTecknology: On a side note, have you ever seen something like this before?
[01:37] <Guest34185> 1.4.10
[01:37] <zsquareplusc> gofg: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release has a umpc edition that can be put on a usb stick and be booted on the eeepc (live)
[01:37] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: can u play mp3 at all?
[01:37] <Guest34185> just use it for int. radio.. I dont know
[01:38] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: in preferences which engine is selected?
[01:38] <Guest34185> xine
[01:38] <MTecknology> Leefmc: ya - especially with kde. There's times where a developer wants to make a whole suite and they say "Hey this guy already did exactly what I want." So they integrate almost every part of it and are left with no reason not to include the whole package as a dependency. This isn't what happened in your case though.
[01:39] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: open adept and search for restricted extras ..sth like that
[01:39] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: u use ubuntu?
[01:39] <Jam3s2001> I'm just curious, can I install ubuntu from within another OS, say gentoo?
[01:39] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Yea im not sure what did happen, or even who is truely at fault, all i know is digikam was installed a few moments ago, and earlier today, all that other kde junk was not there heh.
[01:39] <Jam3s2001> (to a seperate partition, of course)
[01:39] <Leefmc> MTecknology: Anyway, thanks again
[01:40] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: with ubuntu open synaptic
[01:40] <MTecknology> Leefmc: oh!
[01:40] <Guest34185> yes ubuntu
[01:40] <zsquareplusc> Jam3s2001: there is deboostrap. but using the normal installer is easier
[01:40] <Leefmc> MTecknology: ? (just as i was about to close my irc hehe)
[01:40] <MTecknology> Leefmc: sometimes with meta packages, they will include a new package with an update.
[01:40] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: install restricted extras
[01:40] <Leefmc> ah
[01:41] <Jam3s2001> zsquareplusc: I'm really just trying to avoid having to dig up a cd/jumpdrive/whatever
[01:41] <cordor> kinda weird. mplayer went zombie. I thought the parent must be amule which was where i launch the preview. turn out the parent was firefox
[01:41] <zsquareplusc> Jam3s2001: there is also the network installer. you just need to load a special kernel+initrd and have internet
[01:41] <MTecknology> Leefmc: like build-essentail. It doesn't do anything itself, it's just a list of tools that are essential for building anything. If they decided ccache was essential to the build process (convenience more than essential), they would include it and you would get it in an upgrade
[01:42] <muse> i have a us-122 on a dell inspiron 1501.. i want it to be my default sound device.. in sounds, i have configured it and tested.. but when i play anything in firefox it still comes out the laptop speakers
[01:42] <MTecknology> and that whole thing for nothing....
[01:42] <chfwiggum> Guest34185: if u dont find cant find it then follow this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[01:42] <Jam3s2001> zsquareplusc: let me see how debootstrap works. being a gentoo user, I'm kind of used to doing things the "hard way"
[01:43] <cordor> muse: firefox don't play audio
[01:43] <zsquareplusc> Jam3s2001: it drags the base system. you then use chroot and apt-get to install what you need, e.g. ubuntu-desktop
[01:43] <Jam3s2001> zsquareplusc: gentoo uses the same process, except being a bit more involved
[01:43] <muse> ok.. i'll ask a differnt way.. how do i set a default sound device in ubuntu?
[01:44] <tiyowan> muse...System -> Preferences -> Sound?
[01:44] <muse> tiyowan: not working, still plays out my laptop speakers even after changing it to the new device
[01:45] <cordor> muse: system->preferences->sound
[01:45] <zsquareplusc> Jam3s2001: but you will miss the experience with the live cd if you install that way ;-)
[01:45] <tiyowan> muse: Google it?

[02:01] <hackel> tsrk, you need to reinstall GRUB to get rid of the garbage left over from your windows install: grub-install /dev/sda (or whichever drive you are installing to)
[02:01] <Muskie> so, out goes Muthbuntu and we go back to standard Ubuntu with the manual install of the DVB-T Drivers.

[02:03] <ribatejo> depending on your desktop version
[02:03] <hackel> tsrk, no, sounds like it's working fine.  Just delete your windows partition with gparted, resize to your full disk size, and you'll be good to go.

I've got a USB HDD (I think it gets marked as (hd1,0) with Ubuntu on it. During the Ubuntu install, I noticed that in the final step, under Advanced options, it had some options concerning GRUB. Its default was to install to hd0,0, so I thought that that must be the wise choice. Now I find that the computer can't start unless the USB HDD is
[02:03] <tsrk> hackel, I need to dual boot...
[02:03] <tsrk> hackel, I only get this error when trying to boot into windows
[02:04] <alarond> gofg: or, you could type in crontab -e at the terminal to edit ur scheduled tasks.
[02:04] <hackel> tsrk, then you should probably head to a windows support network.

[02:04] <jctheman> i have used synaptic and also the add/remove dialog to install adobe flash yet when i go to tools / add ons in FireFox it does not show up (and i cant load flash sites obviously)
[02:04] <tiyowan> tsrk: Um...did this NTLDR msg start to show up right after you installed Ubuntu?
[02:04] <tsrk> hackel, most of their solutions would get rid of grub is what it looks like
[02:05] <tsrk> tiyowan, no, I erased my recovery partition which I no longer needed, forgetting that I had installed some boot stuff to it
[02:05] <abouche1> did u backup your grub file?
[02:05] <jctheman> this never happened to me before  - i have been booting off of this livecd for months
[02:05] <abouche1> cuz i can send you one
[02:05] <hackel> tsrk, yeah, windows people very rarely know what they are talking about!  I'm sure if you pay someone, they will help support your proprietary operating system, however.
[02:05] <zsquareplusc> mcpancakes: grub wants to load /boot/grub/menu.lst  which is located on the usb drive. you need to install grub in a way that this file is on your builting disk, or alternatively use the windows bootloader to load grub on the usb disk
[02:05] <Muskie> looks like GRUB got installed intot he USB HDD. reinstalling the bootloader should fix things. just make sure it's on HDA1, or better yet, remove the USB HD when installing ubuntu!
[02:05] <tiyowan> tsrk: I think you'll need to get rid of grub to fix this one. Better to nuke grub, fix this problem, then reinstall grub.
[02:06] <tsrk> tiyowan, that's what fixmbr from the recovery cd did, but it still didn't fix the error, just "nuked" grub
[02:06] <abouche1> zsquareplucs thats what you want it to load. /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:06] <tiyowan> tsrk: Ok hold on.
[02:06] <tsrk> what is ntldr anyway?
[02:07] <Muskie> nearly too long; didn't read :P
[02:07] <zsquareplusc> abouche1: sorry?
[02:07] <mcpancakes> zsquareplusc: that's what I was thinking was the issue. What does the option during the Ubuntu install (choose which drive to install GRUB to) do?
[02:07] <ribatejo> tsrk: ntldr is a file needed by winlows ;)
[02:07] <tsrk> ribatejo, ok, so I just need to reinstall that file?
[02:07] <tiyowan> tsrk: http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm
[02:07] <ribatejo> you should be able to copy from other puter
[02:07] <ribatejo> not only that
[02:08] <ribatejo> maybe
[02:08] <zsquareplusc> mcpancakes: i think that just selects the bootblock to install to, not the location of the menu file
[02:08] <Muskie> it's NT's version of grub/menu.lst kinda
[02:08] <ribatejo> once you reset the mbr
[02:08] <Logikos> is there a list of ubuntu version numbers and code names ... so that way when i'm reading articals i can match them ? ... figured it would be an easy find in google but i guess not

[02:09] <ribatejo> if not then you can use recovery console from windows
[02:09] <zsquareplusc> Logikos: names: aplhabet. numbers year/month
[02:09] <mcpancakes> zsquareplusc: So if I had chosen to install GRUB to the USB drive, and in the BIOS I set boot priority to USB -> Internall HDD, it would show GRUB when the USB is plugged in, and automatically go to Windows when it's not, correct?
[02:09] <ribatejo> but I would just copy the files needed and reinstall ...if you don't know what you are doing you will loose a lot of time
[02:10] <ribatejo> believe me..it happened to me :)
[02:10] <Logikos> Muskie: strange, i been looking, i'll check again, thanks
[02:10] <jhemann> here's the full text of the message I get when trying to install 8.10. http://paste.ubuntu.com/81683/
[02:10] <zsquareplusc> mcpancakes: yes, that sounds like it could work :-)
[02:10] <jhemann> I'm not even sure what it's related to
[02:10] <abouche1> evolution wont let me setup
[02:10] <JeremyE> Does anybody know how to set up dual monitors?
[02:10] <alarond> tsrk: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html    read 6.A. i think u'll find an answer.
[02:11] <alex_21> Hi, all, I need a good music player to do the following I have a firefly server, but I don't know what to use to see the music from the server Firefly is like the share ITunes library option, but on Linux I need a client like Banshee or somehing, and how to use it to listen to daap
[02:11] <zsquareplusc> mcpancakes: you can boot into your ubuntu, edit menu.lst to select the install location and run update-grub. then test usb booting
[02:11] <Timslin> hiya
[02:11] <tsrk> tiyowan, ribatejo, I found a NTLDR file on my xp recovery CD, should I just copy that over?
[02:11] <tsrk> and if so, where should it go?
[02:11] <ribatejo> tsrk: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm
[02:11] <zsquareplusc> mcpancakes: if that works, restore the windows mbr
[02:11] <jhemann> i've used that page before, it helps
[02:11] <Timslin> my ubuntu hardy is lagginb quite a bit on my server, how do i improve performance?
[02:11] <ribatejo> tsrk: i would try that
[02:12] <tiyowan> tsrk: You know what the best thing would be?
[02:12] <tsrk> tiyowan, what?
[02:12] <tiyowan> tsrk: Just use testdisk.
[02:12] <jhemann> trsk, i had a similar problem (I think) a while back trying to install; i'll see if i can find the page I found on ubuntuforums
[02:12] <tsrk> tiyowan, what's that do?
[02:12] <tiyowan> tsrk: It's a utility you run off a cd or usb stick.
[02:12] <emilien> i get grub error 17 when i boot after upgrade any ideas ? google didn't help =(
[02:13] <ribatejo> tsrk: corruption could be from hardware or software
[02:13] <tiyowan> tsrk: It'll automatically scan and fix your drive.
[02:13] <ribatejo> ho w old is the computer?
[02:13] <tsrk> ribatejo, I don't think there is any corruption
[02:13] <ribatejo> sometimes HDs go bad
[02:13] <ribatejo> ok
[02:13] <tsrk> I just deleted what I shouldn't have
[02:13] <tsrk> as I said I deleted the recovery partition
[02:13] <tiyowan> tsrk: It also happens when you have a lot of files on your root drive.
[02:13] <mcpancakes> zsquareplusc: I'll be sure to do that. I did look into restoring the Windows MBR (uninstalling GRUB in a way), but the weird thing is, in a command prompt window, it says 'fdisk' is not an operable program. I bought this computer from Dell, is it odd that it wouldn't have it, or am I doing something wrong?
[02:13] <ribatejo> tsrk: missed that
[02:13] <abouche1> how do i mount an iso
[02:13] <tiyowan> tsrk: Sometimes the MFT gets pushed around.
[02:14] <chfwiggum> emilien: u didnt google
[02:14] <abouche1> in the terminal
[02:14] <bazhang> !iso | abouche1
[02:14]  * abouche1 tired
[02:14] <tsrk> ribatejo, here's all that happened:  Before this whole thing, the grub windows option would take me to another boot menu with windows and recovery, and I would always choose windows.  Then I deleted my recovery partition and of course it couldn't use the windows option in grub because it pointed to the deleted partition, so I changed it to the windows partition, and now I'm getting this error.
[02:15] <abouche1> thanks i forgot about the mount point
[02:15] <tiyowan> tsrk: Actually, ignore my earlier advice, the best thing in my opinion would be to run testdisk. It's bundled with many boot recovery packages. And even linux distros. In fact, I used Parted Magic today to recover my partition table. I got a bit carried away with the Create New Partition Table option.
[02:15] <emilien> chfwiggum: i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 and few others to no avail
[02:16] <tsrk> tiyowan, isn't testdisk for recovering deleted partitions?
[02:17] <tiyowan> tsrk: No. It does a lot of other stuff as well.
[02:17] <abouche1> what is the mount point for the first cd drive
[02:17] <shovi> Hey guys, If i put Ubuntu on my external USB hard drive, can i use the drive on any computer-- and have internet work etc... Also will grub work? will it be able to know how to load ubuntu?
[02:17] <tsrk> tiyowan, I looked at it and I don't think it would really help because nothing about the file systems or partitions is messed up
[02:18] <erbi> how can i restart ubuntu safely and saving all the changes ive done ?
[02:18] <Lasivian> is sudo any different than su really?
[02:19] <ribatejo> tsrk: look for hiren's on the net
[02:19] <tiyowan> tsrk: Up to you. You could try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-727533.html
[02:19] <erbi> how can i restart ubuntu safely and saving all the changes ive done ? my laptop always hangs at 98% unload at the ubuntu image
[02:19] <muxx> shovi, you have to configure the computer to boot from USB drive. Your mileage will vary depending on you hardware. Network could work or not.
[02:19] <mcpancakes> shovi: I think GRUB will show it's normal items (from menu.lst), but if their Windows is not in the same place (hd,wherever,wherever), you couldn't boot into it. Don't quote me on any of this though.
[02:20] <ribatejo> nite nite
[02:20] <gofg> Okay so, clicking on a workspace in the bottom right panel (by default) does not do anything. I can see that there is a terminal window there, but clicking on it results in nothing.
[02:20] <shovi> mcpancakes, well im gonna turn off all other hard drives when i install ubuntu on the external hd... cuz i just wanna be able to choose to boot from usb then load up ubuntu
[02:21] <zsquareplusc> shovi: better use live cd with persistent home in that case (casper-rw, casper-cow)
[02:21] <shovi> y?

[02:24] <zsquareplusc> sparr its free as in beer, just not open source
[02:24] <kairu0> i'm having trouble enabling a VNC password for a KVM guest. it is ignoring the parameter. anyone have this working?
[02:24] <Paddy_EIRE> sparr, its non-free as its proprietary

[02:27] <remission> hello all.. can someone help me with nvidia legacy drivers on ubuntu 8.10?  i am not a complete n00b... and have been looking for answers to my problem for quite some time...  i usually use the 173 legacy drivers and they have worked for me in the past.. if i set them up on a freash install they work but if i update through the update manager the drivers are broken and no longer work
[02:28] <zsquareplusc> veltsu: there is a ath5k driver in linux-backports-modules that helps for some cards. then there is madwifi and as last escape ndiswrapper

[02:29] <dnyy> I can hear sound everywhere else, but shell-fm keeps telling me "Couldn't open /dev/audio! Device or resource busy."  How can I go about fixing this?  I've tried restarting shell-fm, didn't work though. :/
[02:30] <cantor> How can I convert a logical partition to a primary partition without destroying the data on it? I tried it with gparted, but apparently it's not supported.
[02:30] <remission> i have also tried the 173.14.15 betas from nvidia and they still wont work.
[02:31] <jhemann> what is the alternate x86 cd?
[02:31] <jhemann> err.. boot cd
[02:31] <veltsu> zscuareluc, thanks for helping. I'm using 8.04 so there is no backports-modules? yesterday I tried getting them but just got an error message saying that a package with that name was not found. Madwifi has been tested, oh about a dozen times to no avail.
[02:31] <alex_21> Anyone ever tried ATunes
[02:31] <alex_21> ?
[02:31] <JeremyE> Hey
[02:31] <JeremyE> How do I get my system's information
[02:31] <veltsu> zscuareplusc, sorry for mistyping your name :)
[02:31] <JeremyE> like graphics card and video card
[02:31] <JeremyE> stuff like that
[02:32] <JeremyE> what command
[02:32] <kairu0> cantor, you'll have to back up, image, and restore the partition. i dont think you can convert it
[02:32] <remission> although i sometimes get the nvidia splash with the 173.14.15 .. compiz will still not work
[02:32] <exodus> JeremyE> sudo lshw
[02:32] <fillzero> hi
[02:32] <emilyg> ok i got a problem, i do not know gnome at all. I have a mount to the datastore in the garage and it works fine (all the kids movies are stored there)  I want the little preview that reflects whats in the file to work for this mounted dir..
[02:33] <fillzero> could somebody introduce some good forum about program
[02:33] <cantor> kairu0: I always thought it's just a simple flag that has to be set/unset... well okay, if that's the only solution... thanks though :)
[02:33] <emilyg> also to add some complexity, its a gutsy machine (dont suggest upgrading, its just not possible)
[02:33] <fillzero> such as http://www.developerweb.net
[02:33] <mic1394> Hello, I got a windows text document that I would like to read in ubuntu which has arabic letters but I cant figure out how to let ubuntu read it properly as it shows it as french letters. Though my ubuntu install does read and write arabic
[02:34] <inaety> Does anyone know how I can find out the "Video Profile" of a video file?
[02:34] <exodus> In Nautilus got to edit->preferences->preview
[02:34] <jtaji> emilyg: in the file manager go to edit > preferences, then the Preview tab... you can change it from Local Files Only to Always
[02:34] <zsquareplusc> mic1394: sounds like the text editor uses the wrong encoding when opening the file
[02:35] <puleen> Hello all.
[02:35] <puleen> Quick questions, is it possible to take an ubuntu install and create a ghost image of it?
[02:35] <CarlFK1> puleen: yes.  even better, use clonezilla
[02:35] <puleen> I hate having to reinstall each time I want to try a new distro
[02:35] <CarlFK1> puleen: http://clonezilla.org
[02:36] <puleen> would be good to just backup my current install and restore whenever I feel like it
[02:36] <mic1394> zsquareplusc, yeah just similar to how browsers would act, any idea how to change it, though I looked in input methods nothing looks helpful
[02:36] <exodus> puleen> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[02:36] <kindofabuzz> puleen, i use clonzilla and save to my server via ssh. works great. just reinstalled using the images
[02:36] <zsquareplusc> puleen: there are live cds to try out things ;-) or virtual pc :-)
[02:36] <puleen> ok cool
[02:36] <wesley> does someone know how to use swfextract ?
[02:36] <zsquareplusc> mic1394: gedit or hat are you using to open the file?
[02:36] <zsquareplusc> s/hat/what/
[02:36] <puleen> zsquareplusc: yes, you are correct. I prefer doing the actual installs...don't ask why :)
[02:36] <CarlFK1> puleen: personally, I would setup a 4 gig partition and install your test to that
[02:37] <kindofabuzz> clonezilla*
[02:37] <puleen> CarlFK1: that's not a bad idea!...
[02:37] <mic1394> zsquareplusc, gedit
[02:37] <Alposky> hi
[02:37] <puleen> actually that's a smart idea...why didn't I think of that hah! :(
[02:37] <puleen> Thanks CarlFK1, kindofabuzz
[02:37] <CarlFK1> I need for format an external usb drive so that I can write a 5gig file to it from a mac
[02:38] <kindofabuzz> actually i need to do another clone now that i got it to how i like it

[02:38] <Alposky> guys what do u suggest for a 128MB ram celeron 800 xubuntu or fluxbuntu
[02:38] <zsquareplusc> mic1394: if you use its open dialog, there is an encoding option where can choose one instead of autodetection

[02:41] <spartanii117> alex_21 no

[02:45] <spartanii117> JeremyE, what is the problem?
[02:45] <exodus> JeremyE> what is the problem? could you describe it so that people might know what you mean by 'does anybody know whats wrong'

[02:48] <danopia> !wifi
[02:48] <mcorbettsr> need some noob help
[02:48] <CarlFK1> puleen: I used to use ghost.  cz isn't as slick as ghost, but I 'think' it does more
[02:48] <Muskie> mcor: justa ask the question
[02:48] <zsquareplusc> jhemann: you accidentally did what?
[02:48] <ddski16> anyone using irssi??
[02:49] <leohartx> zsquareplusc : no, i format 51GB for sda1 when i installed my ubuntu
[02:49] <puleen> I like the fact that they have a server version which I can deploy on my server and use it to image/restore all three of my machines
[02:49] <CarlFK1> puleen: you use ghost - if I image a 20gig ntfs that only has 6gig used, can I restore it to a 10gig drive?
[02:49] <remission> spartanii117:  i have also tryed to reinstall after the kernel updates and it still wont work
[02:49] <puleen> nah I've never used ghost
[02:49] <CarlFK1> doh
[02:49] <puleen> I used to do things old school way.....and almost never reinstalled unless there a GOOD reason
[02:49] <leohartx> zsquareplusc : there're only 22.1 GB left
[02:50] <ddski16> how do you switch to the network window in irssi?
[02:50] <puleen> CarlFK1: to answer your question I dont think you can, because ghost as far as I can recall ghosts the entire drive (unused space included)
[02:50] <puleen> But I could be wrong.
[02:50] <Muskie> JeremyE, you still here? what's your problem?
[02:51] <jhemann> zsquareplusc, well actually what i'm getting is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/81683/
[02:51] <mcorbettsr> I am trying to install webmin from a cdrom with a .deb file and have never done an install from cd i figured out most of the command line but i am not sure which directory to put
[02:51] <Muskie> oh great.

[02:52] <JeremyE> OK
[02:52] <Muskie> now I have to translate everything for Artoo.. I'm probably the only one here who knows fluent astromech
[02:52] <JeremyE> I'm on
[02:52] <JeremyE> my problem is that I want the ATI-RadeonX800 driver for ubuntu, how do I get it and install it?

[02:52] <shadow420> remisson what is you issue
[02:53] <Muskie> !ati | JeremyE
[02:53] <jhemann> oh zsquareplusc, and i'm trying to install 8.10 on an asus A7N8X-E deluxe mobo and a 500GB WD SATA drive
[02:53] <GlibC> Hey!
[02:53] <leohartx> my HDD space in root folder is eaten up ( my root folder on sda1 and my home folder on sda 5). when i use properties to view all files and folders in root ( except /home folder), it display only 8.7GB but in Gparted it display 29.75 GB was used. where is my disk space ???
[02:53] <mcorbettsr> I am trying to install webmin from a cdrom with a .deb file and have never done an install from cd i figured out most of the command line but i am not sure which directory to put
[02:54] <Muskie> hell, when you installed ubuntu, there should be a big thing at the top of your menubar that basicaly says "hey, do you want to install the proper drivers for your video card? click here!"
[02:54] <mcorbettsr> the only file on the cd is the .deb file
[02:54] <Muskie> no dang clue, mcorbettsr. perhaps set the CD as a source for packages and just apt-get install?
[02:55] <alex_21> Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli
[02:55] <Muskie> or you could use synaptic
[02:55] <mcorbettsr> i got it to read the cd but it just wants to tell it where to put it
[02:55] <shadow420> JermeyE I used the same feature when I installed ubuntu 8.04 with my old graphics card
[02:55] <spartanii117> mcorbettsr, you should be able to install it with the command sudo dpkg -I /media/cdrom0/*
[02:55] <alex_21> And does songbird work with IPods
[02:55] <alex_21> ?
[02:55] <Muskie> mcor: and you can't get this through the net with apt-get why? :P
[02:56] <mcorbettsr> is the etc folder basically the same as the program files folder in windows?
[02:56] <Muskie> pretty much, mcorbettsr
[02:56] <spartanii117> mcorbettsr, no, /bin is the programfiles equivalent
[02:56] <mcorbettsr> because everything warns about using webmin from apt-get using root and the version of webmin that i burned to cd does not require root priv
[02:57] <alex_21> Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli
[02:57] <Muskie> is there a particular reason you need to install it off a cd? apt-get install webmin will prety much clear everything up
[02:57] <shadow420> mcorbettsr yeah but becareful of what you mess around in there you could f**k up you ubuntu install in a heat beat
[02:57] <shadow420> heartbeat**
[02:57] <TecROc> how do i setup a ftp on my ubuntu box ?
[02:58] <Muskie> !ftp | TecR0c

[02:58] <GlibC> Hello, I'd like to get my hands on programming with GlibC so I have installed the libglib-dev package ans tried to compile a simple .c file containing #include <glib.h>. gcc issues an error complaining about glib.h not found. Do I need to do configure anything to use glib in my programs?
[02:58] <mcorbettsr> apparently that is how i learn this shadow f it up then figure out what was wrong and try again :)
[02:58] <GlibC> ans ==>and
[02:58] <TecROc> how do i setup in the terminal ? because i am currently sshing to my box ?
[02:58] <shadow420> !webmin
[02:59] <jhemann> @zsquareplusc actually nevermind on that, i think it was a hardware issue. I stood my box upright and got it to load 8.04; retrying 8.10
[02:59] <Zoffix> If I want to "image" the current state of my install, sort of like a backup, so then later instead of reinstalling everything I would be able to just restore the image.. what app could do that?
[02:59] <Muskie> there you go, mcorbettsr. webmin doesen't even work right. :P
[02:59] <hololight> does anyone know if pulse audio has problems running on old hardware (pIII 500mhz 256 Ram)??

[02:59] <spartanii117> TecROc, sudo apt-get install ssh-server
[02:59] <Timslin> hiya
[02:59] <alex_21> Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli
[03:00] <jhemann> actually, shout'em out, how are your mobo's secured to your cases. i used to have some plastic pegs that it latched onto but those broke, and now i'm using these screws and it just sorta hangs there without any nuts to attach.
[03:00] <TecROc> spartanii117 i am currently shhing to my box but i want to setup ftp so i can transfer files to there
[03:00] <Timslin> my remote desktop stopped responding, was in the middle of raring and uploading to RS and everything has stopped. I'm using Ubuntu, what can i do?
[03:00] <jtaji> TecR0c: you can just use sftp, it's part of the ssh server
[03:00] <GlibC> TecROc: you can use SCP to do that.  :P
[03:02] <Timslin> anybody?
[03:02] <Lasivian> has anyone tried to setup wvdial and a usb connection to a mobile phone?
[03:02] <kindofabuzz> sorry i didn't even mean to post that here
[03:02] <Muskie> rofl
[03:02] <Lasivian> I can't seem to get it working
[03:02] <Zoffix> Hmr, I think the method with creating a tar of / seems quite simple.
[03:02] <grendal_prime> is there a plugin for nautilas that will allow you to setup nfs connectinons righ in the file browser?
[03:02] <_Zeus_> Muskie: Do i want to know what that link points to?
[03:02] <kindofabuzz> grendal_prime, i doubt it, nfs is very easy to set up though
[03:03] <TecROc> spartanii117 what if i want to get files off a windows box to a linux box ?
[03:03] <JeremyE> One more question, when I turn on the computer
[03:03] <spartanii117> TecR0c, winscp
[03:03] <JeremyE> it tells me that I'm running in low graphics mode
[03:03] <kindofabuzz> grendal_prime, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html
[03:04] <TecROc> spartanii117 thanks.
[03:04] <TecROc> is there anything i have to setup on my linux box for it to work ?
[03:04] <spartanii117> TecR0c, no problem
[03:04] <alex_21> Where do I get songbird from the repositories? I need to do it via cli
[03:04] <JeremyE> it gives me one error that says, running in low graphics mode, and a second that says to reconfigure hardware, restore to default, or continue in low
[03:04] <JeremyE> what is my problem?
[03:04] <mcorbettsr> exit
[03:04] <spartanii117> alex_21 if we knew we would tell you, swersc google
[03:04] <_Zeus_> alex_21: sudo apt-get install songbird?
[03:04] <leohartx> my HDD space in root folder is eaten up ( my root folder on sda1 and my home folder on sda 5). when i use properties to view all files and folders in root ( except /home folder), it display only 8.7GB but in Gparted it display 29.75 GB was used. where is my disk space ???

[03:05] <alex_21> No, apt-get doesn't work
[03:05] <shubbar> i couldn't get nvidia drivers to work
[03:05] <_Zeus_> alex_21: would you like to post an error, or should i diagnose it telapathetically?
[03:05] <spartanii117> TecR0c, no, it's the same port and service as your ssh
[03:05] <shadow420> JeremyE what is your card name and model

[03:08] <ddski16> i cant get elisa to play DVDs.. any suggestions?
[03:08] <TecROc> spartanii117 are you at uni ?
[03:08] <hackel> leohartx, it's a gnome-utils program to show what files are using up your disk space.
[03:09] <ahmednur> hiiii
[03:09] <leohartx> hackel :ah, it's disk usage analyze
[03:09] <ahmednur> jaa
[03:09] <ZMR_> hi all
[03:09] <ahmednur> ok
[03:09] <exodus> udo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" <enter> "sudo aticonfig --initial" <enter> "sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv" <enter> (notice that is Xv not xv x is caps) startx
[03:09] <ahmednur> so i have quotion
[03:10] <ZMR_> how can I use IDE disks with SATA disks at the same time?
[03:10] <ahmednur> how i get paltk in ubuntu
[03:10] <_Zeus_> ZMR_: if your mobo can do it, you should have no problem
[03:10] <Dracie> hi, is there a way to make window decorations with compiz have blurred transparencies like vista has?
[03:10] <leohartx> hackel : in root folder (/) it display 100% was used, but i mouted my /home on other partition
[03:11] <alex_21> It just says e: could not find package songbird
[03:11] <ZMR_> _Zeus_, the mobo can, but the thing is, the sata disk takes the place of the 2nd ide disk
[03:11] <hackel> leohartx, it will scan whatever you want based on the mount point, it doesn't care which partition it's on.
[03:12] <leohartx> hackel : arrange by size, it's display biggest folder is home with 44.7 GB
[03:12] <hackel> leohartx, right, that is to be expected.  It's just a convenient tool to explore your drive to see if there's some file taking up the space that you didn't find on your own.
[03:13] <leohartx> hackel : but it's on another partition, not on my root partiton, biggest folder in my root partition is usr with 3.5 GB
[03:14] <leohartx> hackel : but when i use properties to view size of all file and folder in root ( except /home ) it display 8.7 GB
[03:14] <exodus> leohartx> read above about 'it doesn't care which partition it's on'
[03:14] <alex_21> Hi, I can't install songbird from cli. It just says e: could not find package songbird
[03:15] <leohartx> hackel : however, when i use Gparted or just view from status bar in root folder, it display there are 29.75 GB was used
[03:15] <exodus> alex_21> what command are you using?
[03:15] <zsquareplusc> alex_21: i think its a firefox addon
[03:15] <hackel> leohartx, maybe there are some hidden files or folders you're not finding in nautilus.  That's what baobab is meant to help you discover.
[03:15] <leohartx> hakel : where is my 20 GB ?
[03:15] <leohartx> hackel : baobab didn't work too
[03:16] <exodus> alex_21> why not just download the .deb?
[03:16] <leohartx> hackel : btw, i used show hidden files and folders in nautilus
[03:16] <arvind_khadri> hi, execpt a few kernels installed here, the rest of them are drpping into a busybox, how do i get out of it?
[03:16] <veltsu> anyone used ndiswrapper? I tried, but just got a bunch of errors about "too few arguments" etc. Any ideas?
[03:16] <zsquareplusc> leohartx: maybe you can !pastebin the output of df -h ?
[03:16] <Emphastala> god... trying to get mod_rewrite to work with apache2 on ubuntu is totally brain and fucked.
[03:16] <RequinB4> !ndiswrapper
[03:16] <glick> excuse me im trying to install the packages i need to compile kernels and stuff, and according the the ubntu community webstie /Kernel/Compile it says i have to install linux-kernel-devel, but then it says that it cant find such a package
[03:17] <Dracie> veltsu - use the GUI that ubuntu provides
[03:17] <Dracie> works good
[03:17] <leohartx> hackel : my problem is about root partition ( i mean sda 1)
[03:17] <exodus> !language | Emphastala
[03:17] <hackel> leohartx, I'm not sure what to tell you...  baobab has always worked fine for me.
[03:17] <veltsu> Dracie, how can I access the GUI for ndiswrapper?
[03:18] <Dracie> if you installed it, it is in system -> administration -> windows drivers
[03:18] <Dracie> something like that
[03:18] <RequinB4> veltsu: focus on what card you have not how to use ndiswrapper.  what card do you have
[03:18] <Dracie> yeah better idea
[03:18] <leohartx> zsquareplusc: here : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81707/
 I will, but then how do I install it via cli?
[03:18] <hackel> leohartx, ;if you chose "scan filesystem", then what is the difference between the size of / and /home?  And are sda1 (/) and sda5 (/home) the only partitions mounted?
[03:19] <arvind_khadri> hi, execpt a few kernels installed here, the rest of them are drpping into a busybox, how do i get out of it?
[03:19] <veltsu> RequinB4, I have an Atheros 5BMB5. Tried just about every method I've found in the past few weeks but nothing has worked
[03:19] <leohartx> hackel : i did it
[03:19] <abdoullah> how do i manually run dpkg
[03:19] <RequinB4> veltsu: output of lspci | grep Network ?
[03:19] <zsquareplusc> leohartx: according to this your / has 29GB with 20GB free. and you are wondering what is using around 9GB on it?
[03:19] <leohartx> hackel : / used 100% and home 87.8%
[03:19] <exodus> alex_21> just download it form here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird click on it, open with GDebi
[03:20] <hackel> leohartx, in GB, not percentage.
[03:20] <leohartx> zsquareplusc: no, my sda1 is 51 GB
[03:20] <abdoullah> does any one know how to manually run dpkg
[03:20] <kidbuntu> !dualboot
[03:20] <leohartx> zsquareplusc : but i used only 8.7 GB
[03:20] <zsquareplusc> leohartx: yes, you're right
[03:20] <RequinB4> abdoullah: waht are you trying to do
[03:21] <giganto> umm, has anyone got pulseaudio to successfully work with skype?? I have problems with my mic input
[03:21] <leohartx> hackel : root is 51 GB, and home is 44.7GB
[03:21] <arvind_khadri> !busybox > arvind_khadri
[03:21] <baddog> hello, where can I find rc.conf (or equivalent) in Ubuntu?
[03:21] <JeremyE> I screwed up some programs on my ubuntu
[03:21] <leohartx> hackel : please remember that my /home is on other partition
[03:21] <JeremyE> and I need a way to just revert back to yesterday or something
[03:21] <veltsu> RequinB4, nothing at all
[03:21] <JeremyE> so that it's the same it was before
[03:21] <JeremyE> is ther any way to do that
[03:22] <passive> Hi can anyone help me with that ? http://pastebin.com/d38f72529 I had MonoDevelop 2 alpha working perfectly fine after updating to 8.1 i can't get it working ?
[03:22] <abdoullah> RequinB4:well i get this message saying that i need to manually run dpkg when i try to do an update
[03:22] <RequinB4> veltsu: ok, nevermind, just lspci  then and look for the line with your wireless card and past it here
[03:22] <kidbuntu> !grub
[03:22] <hackel> leohartx, yes I know, that really makes no difference.
[03:23] <RequinB4> abdoullah: might want to pastebin the error and what you were trying to do when you got it
[03:23] <n2diy> I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting?
[03:23] <exodus> JeremyE> what is messed up with your system and/or programs?
[03:23] <RequinB4> !paste
[03:23] <JeremyE> The video drivers are all messed up
[03:23] <abdoullah> RequinB4: how do i get to paste bin i forgot
[03:23] <alex_21> How  do you install a .deb file with cli?
[03:23] <JeremyE> I can't revert to before it happened
[03:24] <jmod> !tether
[03:24] <jmod> !tethering
[03:24] <RequinB4> !paste | abdoullah
[03:24] <hackel> leohartx, my suggestion remains, to search all your folders in baobab (except for /home, because it's on another partition), and figure out what is using up 29G/51G on that partition.
[03:24] <jmod> !g1
[03:24] <exodus> JeremyE> did you take a look at some of the links that were posted... especially the one from !ati
[03:24] <veltsu> RequinB4, here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81709/
[03:24] <RequinB4> !msgthebot | jmod
[03:24] <JeremyE> No, I just need to revert back

[03:25] <jmod> sorry all
[03:25] <alex_21> How  do you install a .deb file with cli? DPKG --configure package_name.deb?
[03:25] <adante_> hi, what service is responsible for allowing my windows box to resolve my linux host to an ip address?
[03:25] <JeremyE> OK, I installed ubuntu 8.10 with Wubi from a windows XP system and am wondering what will happen if I just re-install wubi, will I lose all my settings, files, stuf like that?
[03:25] <adante_> on the local lan?
[03:25] <kairu0> i'm having trouble enabling a VNC password for a KVM guest. it is ignoring the parameter. anyone have this working?
[03:25] <adante_> because at hte moment it is resolving incorrectly
[03:25] <kairu0> alex_21, dpkg -i
[03:25] <n2diy> aLex_21, dpkg
[03:25] <n2diy> I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting?
[03:26] <RequinB4> veltsu: you should be able to go to system - admin - restricted driver manager and install them
[03:26] <leohartx>  hackel : aren't them displayed all in size column ?
[03:26] <abdoullah> RequinB4: i pasted it now what do i do give you the address
[03:26] <RequinB4> abdoullah just paste the url here
[03:27] <leohartx> hackel : and in properties ?
[03:27] <abdoullah> RequinB4:http://paste.ubuntu.com/81711/
[03:27] <veltsu> RequinB4, the "restricted driver man" is probably in 8.10, right? I'm using 8.04, which, if I'm not mistaken has the same thing at "Sys->Admin->Harware drivers"?
[03:27] <RequinB4> veltsu: yes
[03:28] <RequinB4> adboullah: run 'dpkg --configure -a' without the '
[03:28] <abdoullah> RequinB4:yes
[03:28] <leboy> hy

[03:28] <RequinB4> abdoullah: ? run that in applications - acessories - terminal
[03:29] <jhemann> i've got 500 GB to play around with, someone want to recommend a partition scheme?
[03:29] <veltsu> RequinB4, the support for Atheros wireless is enabled, but I still don't see any networks. I should say that I first installed 7.10, and the wireless worked with the proprietary drivers. Then updated to 8.04 and the wireless isn't working anymore
[03:29] <Seven_Six_Two> I have 8.10 on 2 machines (3 hours apart). ports are forwarded for ssh and vnc. I have root on both machines but another user is logged in(and absent) and I want to start a vnc session through ssh but on his session. Can this be done?
[03:29] <abdoullah> RequinB4: it gives me another message
[03:30] <hackel> leohartx, yes, if you add up all the "size" column values in baobab, they should add up to / (29G + size of /home)
[03:30] <RequinB4> abdoullah paste that
[03:30] <ihcus> hello guys can any one of you please help me in connecting to a remote user through the internet
[03:30] <exodus> !ssh
[03:30] <n2diy> jhemann, 5g for Ubuntu, and have fun with the rest of it.
[03:30] <abdoullah> RequinB4:http://paste.ubuntu.com/81714/
[03:30] <Guest25130> putty tray rocks!
[03:30] <alex_21> Now how do I start songbird?
[03:30] <Seven_Six_Two> in exodus, I am using ssh. I don't want to tunnel in to a new session, I want to hijack the existing one.
[03:31] <jhemann> i meant, like, separate /home or /var and /usr
[03:31] <RequinB4> abdoullah: put 'sudo ' in front of the above command
[03:31] <RequinB4> then type in your pw
[03:31] <glick> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[03:31] <abdoullah> ok
[03:31] <glick> when i try to install linux-kernel-devel it doent work
[03:31] <ihcus> hello guys please tell me how to connect to remote user through internet using vinagre in ibex
[03:31] <leohartx> hackel : well, there is nothing bigger than usr folder with 3.5 GB disk space usage
[03:31] <exodus> Seven_Six_Two> wasn't for you, was for ihcus. my bad :)
[03:31] <n2diy> jhemann, Then you'll have to manually partition, check the forums, or google.
[03:32] <Seven_Six_Two> ihcus, forward port 5900 on both machines
[03:32] <jhemann> hehe, that's wher
[03:32] <ihcus> yeah i have done that
[03:32] <pulsewave> is it possible to run gnome and kde at the same time in different tty?
[03:32] <hackel> leohartx, and the other folders don't add up to 25.5G?
[03:32] <Seven_Six_Two> and get the server's ip address, then connect to it(as long as the server is running a vnc server)
[03:33] <Seven_Six_Two> pulsewave, yes
[03:33] <ihcus> i have checked the option forwarding through 5900
[03:33] <samhassell> Seven_Six_Two: i read something like this the other day, let me check
[03:33] <n2diy> pulsewave, I don't think so, only one TTY supports X?
[03:33] <Seven_Six_Two> pulsewave, you switch to another session, then start another xserver
[03:33] <leohartx> hackel : yes
[03:33] <RequinB4> veltsu: ok, i can step by step you through ndiswrapper but ideally you shouldn't need it... consider upgrading to ibex?
[03:33] <Seven_Six_Two> samhassell, thanks
[03:34] <n2diy> I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting?
[03:34] <abdoullah> RequinB4:I think it worked
[03:34] <pulsewave> tried that but it says that the servers for display 0 is already busy
[03:34] <hackel> leohartx, you've got me, then.
[03:34] <Seven_Six_Two> I don't want to leave vnc running all the time, so I want to start it through ssh on the currently active session
[03:34] <RequinB4> abdoullah
[03:34] <RequinB4> good
[03:34] <veltsu> I'm considering strongly. Actually requinB4, I'l just grab a cd and burn the iso to it and update to Ibex. Hopefully saves me from a lot of hassle. I'll be sure to bother you again once I'm finished with it though. Thanks for your insight :)
[03:34] <pulsewave> tried gnome-session and /etc/init.d/gdm start nothing is working
[03:34] <abdoullah> thanks
[03:34] <RequinB4> veltsu: glad i could help :P
[03:34] <hackel> leohartx, you could try something like "find / -type d -exec du -hs '{}' \; | grep G" to find all directories over 1GB.
[03:35] <Seven_Six_Two> pulsewave, what happens if you type startx
[03:35] <RequinB4> veltsu: though you know you can upgrade from the server without a cd
[03:35] <zsquareplusc> Seven_Six_Two: vncserver can be used to start your own session. so you dont need to steal an other users screen
[03:35] <veltsu> oh, that's even better
[03:35] <alex_21> Thanks all
[03:35] <RequinB4> !upgrade | veltsu
[03:35] <ihcus> seven_six_two : please help me ...i have to remote fix a problem on a friends laptop
[03:35] <Seven_Six_Two> zsquareplusc, thanks. I want to be able to though. It's my box.
[03:35] <justin_> hey i just go a sub-woofer for my sound system how can i get it so i plug it into one of the jacks in the back of my soundcard and it will play all the lows
[03:36] <Seven_Six_Two> zsquareplusc, others have access to it, but it's mine.
[03:36] <leohartx> hackel : oh, that command list all files, and some file are not accesable
[03:36] <Seven_Six_Two> ihcus, what error do you get?
[03:36] <zsquareplusc> Seven_Six_Two: even if its your box, it's not nice to look at the screen of an other person
[03:36] <alex_21> remote fixing can be done with ssh
[03:36] <hackel> leohartx, log in as root then.
[03:36] <zsquareplusc> Seven_Six_Two: but with x0rfb you should be able..
[03:36] <AlfredHitchcock> hhh
[03:36] <leohartx> hackel : is it ok if i use su ?
[03:36] <Seven_Six_Two> zsquareplusc, I know. I'm not monitoring. I don't want to start another session
[03:37] <hackel> leohartx, yep
[03:37] <leohartx> hackel : instead of re-login\
[03:37] <Seven_Six_Two> zsquareplusc, thanks. I'll look in to that
[03:37] <samhassell> Seven_Six_Two: its old and has some stuff you probably already know but: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html
[03:37] <alex_21> You can ssh tunnel, wahich is the easiest
[03:37] <Seven_Six_Two> samhassell, yeah, but don't you have to be at that machine to start it?
[03:38] <zsquareplusc> Seven_Six_Two: x11vnc should work too, that is apt-gettable
[03:38] <ihcus> seven _ six_ two : all i  get is a black screen thats it !
[03:38] <Seven_Six_Two> oh wait. I can run it on that machine and export the gui here?
[03:38] <leohartx> hackel : ubuntu is defferent from fedora, there is no step create root password, so do u know what is root default accout
[03:38] <samhassell> Seven_Six_Two: maybe it runs as a daemon?
[03:39] <samhassell> yeah i think thats the idea
[03:39] <veltsu> wow, there's quite a lot of updates to install when updating from Hardy to Ibex
[03:39] <hackel> leohartx, just use "sudo" before the command.  (fyi you can also use sudo to set a root pw... "sudo passwd")
[03:39] <RequinB4> veltsu: yay for progress! :P
[03:39] <Seven_Six_Two> possibly. I've never used it that way. I've got some googling to do I guess. Can "root" chown a proc?
[03:39] <Guest_94> hi
[03:39] <RequinB4> !hi
[03:40] <n2diy> I just burnt an Xubuntu CD, can I verify it without rebooting?
[03:40] <dragoon> can someone help me with mhddfs?
[03:40] <veltsu> I'm really glad I came to the office to fix this issue. Downloading all those packages would have taken the rest of the year at home. Thank you again RequinB4
[03:40] <RequinB4> veltsu: np
[03:40] <Seven_Six_Two> change the owner of a process to the other person running the x-session?
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !root > leohartx
[03:41] <samhassell> Seven_Six_Two: hrm, let me try
[03:41] <leohartx> hackel : i've used baobab again but uncheck sda5 ( my /home folder) in baobab preference and it display 6.2 GB was used in /
[03:41] <Guest_94> i installed ubuntu to my vista laptop in order to learn to use linux. i used wubi. but now i cna't enter ubuntu anymore as there's no more space on the linux fule system. i can't even log in. It says GDM or so can't write ....
[03:41] <pieces> can someone please help me to get ubuntu out of low graphics mode...
[03:41] <Guest_94> What can i do?
[03:41] <RequinB4> pieces: is there anything in system - admin - restricted drivers manager
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> veltsu did you use aptoncd or some other
[03:42] <hackel> leohartx, that is bizarre.  Either both baobab and nautlius are wrong, or du/gparted is wrong.  I'm not sure to be honest.  You might need to run an fsck.
[03:42] <Lasivian> has anyone tried to setup wvdial and a usb connection to a mobile phone?
[03:42] <veltsu> Jack Sparrow, what do you mean?
[03:42] <pieces> RequinB4 there is no restricted drivers manager
[03:42] <n2diy> Guess I got to reboot, goodbye uptime. :(
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi > Guest_94
[03:43] <RequinB4> pieces: hardware?  What version of ubuntu are you running
[03:43] <ihcus> seven_six_two: all i get is connection to host was closed :5900
[03:43] <Lasivian> n2diy: boot it in another machine
[03:43] <RequinB4> pieces: hardware drivers
[03:43] <Guest_94> ok
[03:43] <Seven_Six_Two> ok I figured out how to switch to the user that I need to hijack
[03:43] <Logikos> is it possible to make the bottom button bar multi line, so i can have more than 1 row of buttons? - if so how please ?
[03:43] <n2diy> Lasivian, I wish, my other machines are down, but thanks for the reply.
[03:44] <bazhang> Seven_Six_Two, hijack?
[03:44] <RequinB4> Logikos I'm pretty sure you can make a second panel and put it on top of the first one
[03:44] <Seven_Six_Two> ihcus, is the vnc server listening on that port? are the ports forwarded?
[03:44] <Guest_94> Jack_Sparrow Sorry, I hadn't seen the message
[03:44] <Lasivian> n2diy: you could always copy the cd back to the HD
[03:44] <pieces> 8.10, and I installed the driver from the Applications- add/remove
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:44] <RequinB4> Logikos - right click, add new panel, put it on the same side as the first one, and edit your new panel to your liking
[03:44] <Seven_Six_Two> bazhang, sortof. it's mine and I have root, but I want to hijack a currently running x-session
[03:45] <Logikos> RequinB4: i saw somewhere where you can make more pannels, but i'm talking about a double wide pannel so that as the first line gets full it uses the 2nd automaticly rather than makeing the buttons so tiny you cant tell what they are
[03:45] <leohartx> hackel : it didn't work too ( i ran it on sda1, not on sda5)
[03:45] <n2diy> Lasivian, and then what?
[03:45] <linux29694> anyone know how to make the /etc/resolv.conf static upon reboot?
[03:45] <bazhang> n2diy, what version of ubuntu are you using
[03:45] <alex_21> Hey, just use an ssh tunnel and then use it to connect via vnc
[03:45] <dnyy> What's a good app for ripping DVDs, menus and all?
[03:45] <bazhang> Seven_Six_Two, no need ever to have 'root'
[03:45] <n2diy> bazhang, err, umm, aa, 5.10
[03:45] <temppy> linux29694: you could try chattr -i I think
[03:45] <RequinB4> dnyy: k9copy, acidrip
[03:45] <Seven_Six_Two> bazhang, um, ok thanks.
[03:45] <linux29694> tried that temppy
[03:46] <bazhang> dnyy, k9copy
[03:46] <dnyy> RequinB4: which is better in your opinion?
[03:46] <hackel> leohartx, you should run it from a boot CD, so it can fix any problems.
[03:46] <RequinB4> Logikos: i'm not sure that's possible in GNOME.  using two panels is just as good
[03:46] <RequinB4> dnyy: depends on what you're doing
[03:46] <linux29694> temppy: i get the error: chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf
[03:46] <Logikos> RequinB4: k, thanks
[03:46] <bazhang> n2diy, that is end of life. get a newer version if you want support
[03:47] <RequinB4> dnyy: try out both
[03:47] <giganto> Hi all, I've got a problem with skype not being able to use pulseaudio for audio capture. Has anyone fixed that successfully?
[03:47] <RequinB4> !pulse
[03:47] <dnyy> RequinB4: I would, but my CD drive magically started working, so I'm gonna try and do it as fast as I can so it doesn't stop working before it's done ripping. :p
[03:47] <pieces> RequinB4: 8.10, and I installed the driver from the Applications- add/remove
[03:47] <n2diy> bazhang, that's what I'm trying to do, but I want to verify my burns on the way. I have a 6.06 disk here, but it won't install, so I'm hoping upgrading will work?
[03:47] <bazhang> n2diy, you cannot do the disk integrity check without rebooting, no.
[03:47] <RequinB4> dnyy: k9copy has more options but is more userintensive, basically
[03:47] <Seven_Six_Two> alex_21, I'm logged in as the user who started the session
[03:48] <giganto> ubottu, thx
[03:48] <bazhang> n2diy, you can md5 the iso before burning
[03:48] <Seven_Six_Two> alex_21, over ssh.
[03:48] <RequinB4> giganto: ubottu is a bot ^^
[03:48] <dnyy> RequinB4: I'll try that, then.  Is it possible to rip the menus and special features too?
[03:48] <RequinB4> dnyy: iirc yes but it depends on your settings and the way the DVD is set up
[03:48] <linux29694> anyone know how to make the /etc/resolv.conf static upon reboot?
[03:48] <giganto> RequinB4, opps thanks to u then lol
[03:48] <n2diy> bazhang, When booting the CD you have the option to verify it, I was hoping to do that, without rebooting?
[03:48] <dnyy> RequimB4: Alright, thanks. :)
[03:49] <bazhang> n2diy, of course the answer is no.
[03:49] <n2diy> bazhang, :( Thanks.
[03:49] <leohartx> hackel : i'm uploading my printed screen, ill send link for u
[03:49] <bhasu> can any one tell me how to make my mic detect ??
[03:50] <n2diy> 73 all
[03:50] <RequinB4> pieces: you need new video drivers, and i'm not sure what the exact link is on 8.10
[03:50] <TecROc> what is the comand to find a certain file on your ubuntu box ?/
[03:50] <bruenig> TecROc: find, locate, which, whereis
[03:50] <dbe__> TecROc: find
[03:50] <bruenig> depending of course
[03:50] <zsquareplusc> Seven_Six_Two: using x11vnc its really easy,just tried it myself :-)
[03:50] <leohartx> hackel : http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z306/leohartx/Screenshot.png
[03:50] <man77> is ogmrip a good dvd ripper/encoder?
[03:51] <linux29694> anyone know how to make the /etc/resolv.conf static upon reboot?
[03:51] <PATX> how do i get the adobe flash player for firefox?
[03:51] <Seven_Six_Two> zsquareplusc, I'll give it a shot. thanks
[03:51] <RequinB4> PATX: install the flashplugin-nonfree package
[03:51] <dbe__> linux29694: Modify the network config I guess.
[03:51] <Rew> RequinB4: this is pieces, I just switched computers.  Should I uninstall the drivers I have now?
[03:52] <bhasu> can any one tell me how to make my mic work ??
[03:52] <RequinB4> Rew: no, if you're lucky there is a menu in system - admin that will do yours for you
[03:52] <linux29694> dbe_: how do i access the network config, its the vpn settings that keep changing my dns
[03:52] <Rew> RequinB34: can you elaborate on that more?
[03:52] <RequinB4> Rew: I don't run 8.10 so i don't know what its called, sorry
[03:53] <PATX> RequinB4: er sorry i ma a newb, but how do i do that???
[03:53] <zsquareplusc> linux29694: if oyu are using intrepid, try system->prefs->network
[03:53] <RequinB4> PATX, go to system - admin - synaptic package manager, search for flashplugin-nonfree, and check it, apply, etc
[03:53] <sauvin> What kernel does Intrepid Ibex use on its install CDs/DVDs?
[03:53] <Rew> RequinB4: ok thanks
[03:53] <pulsewave> Seven_Six_Two: Server is already active for display 0
[03:53] <dbe__> linux29694: its /etc/init.d/network in Debian. Perhaps Ubuntu has some scripts that relys on the settings for /etc/resolv.conf for this. I don't know.
[03:53] <PATX> RequinB4: ok ty
[03:53] <CaptainMorgan> I'm using DrScheme to acquire packages from their source... it keeps saying that my port 80 tcp is blocked... I have an apache lamp setup so I imagined it's blocked because of that.  I shut down apache via /etc/init.d/apache shutdown, and further I turned off the port at the router level, but still DrScheme can't break through.. any ideas?
[03:53] <linux29694> dbe__: its all empty there, no dns settings there that keep changing my resolv.conf
[03:54] <TecROc> the find command does not seem to be able to find anything.
[03:54] <linux29694> dbe: in addition, there is no setting there for setting dns in intrepid
[03:54] <dbe__> linux29694: Then I don't know, sorry.
[03:54] <bruenig> the find command can find anything if it is there
[03:54] <bruenig> man find
[03:54] <RequinB4> TecROc: try locate, find is tricky
[03:54] <linux29694> dbe__: only dhcp
[03:54] <hackel> leohartx, yes, something is very wrong.  Either baobab is not detecting all the files on your disk, or you have filesystem errors that need to be corrected.  The best way to do this is to use a boot CD, otherwise you can reboot into rescue mode, remount your / as readonly, and fsck from there.
[03:54] <RequinB4> man find will help you out though
[03:54] <bruenig> find is not tricky, it requires that you read though which is a bit tricky for this distro
[03:54] <dbe__> TecROc: Its is, your user perhaps don't have permission to do so?
[03:55] <truthslave> can get miro to run in kubuntu....... got it going in ubuntu
[03:55] <sauvin> What kernel does Intrepid Ibex use on its install CDs/DVDs?
[03:55] <RequinB4> bruenig: requires you to read = tricky for a lot of users :P
[03:55] <bruenig> truthslave: protip: they are the same
[03:55] <leohartx> how do i do it ?
[03:55] <ArCHoNKoG> Question, Has anyone have some wired firefox problems videos wise ?
[03:55] <leohartx> hackel : how do i ?
[03:56] <TecROc> dbe__ even if i put sudo at the start. it still can't find the folder/files
[03:56] <PATX> RequinB4: what do i need to get to play youtube videos?
[03:56] <TecROc> i did a test where i had a folder called matt under my desktop and i still could not find it with the find command.
[03:56] <RequinB4> PATX: that package should be enough unless you've manually set a weird plugin setting
[03:56] <PATX> ok
[03:57] <PATX> RequinB4: youtube says: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.
[03:58] <Seven_Six_Two> pulsewave, sorry, yeah, I just read that. I'm just creating the cfg file
[03:58] <CaptainMorgan> I'm using DrScheme to acquire packages from their source... it keeps saying that my port 80 tcp is blocked... I have an apache lamp setup so I imagined it's blocked because of that.  I shut down apache via /etc/init.d/apache shutdown, and further I turned off the port at the router level, but still DrScheme can't break through.. any ideas?
[03:58] <Guest22495> anyone have luck install ubuntu on a dell xps one a2010
[03:58] <RequinB4> PATX: um, if you're sure flashplugin-nonfree is installed correctly, allow javascript (in edit-preferences or allow youtube in noscript)
[03:59] <hackel> leohartx, try this: "sudo touch /forcefsck" then reboot, it should check the partition automatically.  then remove the /forcefsck file when you are done.
[03:59] <PATX> RequinB4: ok ty again
[03:59] <Guest22495> iit has an intel graphics card and i can only get 800x600 res with vesa setting
[03:59] <TecROc> hrm, i can't get this find command to work.
[03:59] <KlrSpz> hey guys, need some help.. i have upgraded to Intrepid (8.10) and now my nVidia drivers don't work.. According to nVidia's README, my card (Go 7300) should be supported, but GDM always says it can't load the nvidia driver... the restricted drivers manager doesn't ever enable the driver either.. any ideas?  http://pastebin.ca/1278498
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> TecROc SHow us the command you are typing in
[04:00] <okron1k> any network people here wanna try to give me a hand?
[04:00] <leohartx> hackel : huh ? what is that mean ?
[04:00] <okron1k> i need help
[04:01] <Guest22495> can i just edit my xorg to allow for 1280x768?
[04:01] <PATX> RequinB4: how do i alaw youtube in nosrcipt????
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> okron1k Ask you r question and wait.. if no answer in a couple minutes repeat it or re-phrase it
[04:01] <RequinB4> PATX: ok... since you're asking me I assume you don't have noscript installed, so that's probably not the problem
[04:01] <zsquareplusc> hackel: heh, taht works? i was reading tune2fs manpage to find out how to do that. looks like -C 99 should help too
[04:02] <okron1k> just installed ubuntu 7.10. network manager will not connect to my router. it's wired
[04:02] <hackel> zsquareplusc, I don't know, actually I've never tried it, but reading /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh it looks like it should work.  I was just searching for an easy way to tell someone how to do it. :)
[04:02] <TecROc> i am trying to install an eggdrop on my ubuntu box however, i am getting the error. ok, i have ran the ./configure command in the dir however, i get the msg  Eggdrop requires Tcl to compile. If you already have Tcl installed on  this system, and I just wasn't looking in the right place for it, re-ru  ./configure using the --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and  --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.
[04:02] <RequinB4> PATX: go to applications - acessories - terminal and copy and paste (control + shift + v): sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:02] <dukenukem> hello, i am trying to change from windows to ubuntu but i have run into some problems, i wonder if someone can help me out. the problem stems from the fact my cdrom drive is screwed and i cannot boot from cd. i also cannot boot from usb as my bios is too old. (old computer). i wonder if i can install ubuntu from windows, is this possible? please message me privately if you have an idea, thanks in advance.
[04:02] <RequinB4> PATX: type in your pw (it won't show up)
[04:03] <PATX> RequinB4: ok
[04:03] <okron1k> dukenukem install it as an application
[04:03] <dukenukem> and that will wipe my windows installation and start the ubuntu install process?
[04:04] <leohartx> hackel : i think i found the problem but cant solve it, here u go : http://paste.ubuntu.com/81724/
[04:04] <RequinB4> !wubi | dukenukem
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> dukenukem no, it will install it inwindows using a file to simulate a partition
[04:04] <Guest22495> leohartx: u know anything about video cards
[04:04] <okron1k> mount the iso using powerISO or another similar program. in the menu you get the option to install as an application. you will be dual booting
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > dukenukem
[04:04] <PATX> RequinB4: i still get the same msg even after i have done all of that
[04:04] <dukenukem> requinb4. thanks. i'll give it a shot. thanks everyone. also thanks okron1k, i'll try that if wubi fails.
[04:05] <hackel> leohartx, hmm, your /var directory is not showing up in baobab?  I think you need to run it as root, I forgot about that part...
