[05:31] <maynoth42> is there an applet that can change color depth

[05:31] <morrolan> quaal, give me one moment
[05:31] <quaal> morrolan, ok

[05:31] <vox754> nyokie: you could try unplugging each one. Are you running Live CD? you could type "fdisk -l"

[05:31] <nyokie> fdisk i will let me browse the drives?
[05:32] <nyokie> yes live cd
[05:32] <maynoth42> grey... there are no options for colors in there... just screen resolution
[05:32] <nyokie> 6.10
[05:32] <quaal> nyokie, fdisk -l
[05:32] <vox754> nyokie: that is "sudo fdisk -l" it gives you a list of your "disks" and "partitions"
[05:32] <nyokie> and it will show which is windows boot disk?
[05:32] <quaal> nyokie, it shows ntfs partitions
[05:33] <quaal> nyokie, or fat. i do not believe it has any way of knowing what is bootable
[05:33] <quaal> as far as windows partitions go
[05:33] <nyokie> ok all are ntfs single partition

[05:34] <Dr_willis> maynoth42,  could edit the xorg.conf file by hand.
[05:34] <maynoth42> ohhh... so... painful
[05:35] <maynoth42> theres not an applet
[05:35] <maynoth42> ?
[05:35] <Dr_willis> maynoth42,  trivial.. its the 'defaultdepth' setting. the ISSUE is why did it change..
[05:35] <quaal> oh noez !!
[05:35] <Dr_willis> maynoth42,  im guessing theres some other issue going on.
[05:35] <quaal> you'll have to edit the file manually !

[05:46] <niyi> does anyone know of a good torrent downlaoder aside from bittorent or azerus?
[05:46] <Dr_willis> Lostmadman,  ssh -X whatever to the box, from antoher linux box, or windows with xming, and run the x program. it should appear  on the remote desktop. I do that all the time.
[05:47] <AMAG> compengi looks like your machine is still booting the previous image
[05:47] <Dr_willis> Lostmadman,  of course if you want to remove the X/gui interface packages... well that wont work. :)
[05:47] <mikemacd> niyi - utorrent
[05:47] <AMAG> You mean you upgraded as in built it from the source tree yourself right?
[05:47] <mikemacd> best one.
[05:47] <Belutz> i got problem booting/installing 6.10, it says <0> kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! what might cause the problem?
[05:47] <niyi> it works on linux
[05:47] <niyi> ??
[05:47] <mikemacd> oh, not sure, check it out.
[05:47] <compengi> AMAG, so should i risk deleting the previous image?
[05:47] <Dr_willis> niyi,  i use wine and utorrent.exe
[05:48] <AMAG> compengi I wouldn't delete it; your box might not boot without it! :)
[05:48] <Dr_willis> niyi,  a bit overkill.. but it worked last i tried it.

[05:56] <midgetg0at> I lose power to my office when someone runs the microwave about 3 times a day. Most of the time VMWare is running when this happens. This latest time it happened, VMWare is refusing to start. It just says "Starting VMware Server Console" in the task bar, hangs for a bit while it's loading, and then just disappears...Question is: is there any repair method i can use to get VMware to come back?? I use it about 90% of the time i'm
[05:56] <maynoth42> why don't they beta test before sending these ecms out
[05:56] <maynoth42> :B
[05:57] <Dr_willis> midgetg0at,  id get a long extension cord and run the power to the microwave from someplace else. :)_
[05:57] <varsendaggr> my palm can hotsync   but not transfer the .prc files
[05:57] <quaal> midgetg0at, sounds like you need a power backup
[05:57] <pirate-king> I updated and now xorg.conf buggered
[05:57] <alanhaggai> I have lost the Add/Remove and many many options in 'Administration' menu. Can anyone help me?
[05:57] <midgetg0at> yes, i agree with both of you :) however, just getting VMware back up would be the best right now.
[05:57] <compengi> is the latest kernel <IP_ADDRESS>-11.35?
[05:57] <cheeseboy16> its saying archive type not supported.7z
[05:57] <m_e_> hab kdm deinstalliert und neu installiert... seit dem ld er meine taskleiste nicht mehr :( hatt jemand damit erfahrungen? wei nicht was ich tun soll... :(
[05:58] <m_e_> wuups sry
[05:58] <pirate-king> hehehe
[05:58] <pirate-king> how do you remove a kernel
[05:58] <Dr_willis> !unp
[05:58] <ubotu> unp: unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.10 (edgy), package size 9 kB, installed size 72 kB
[05:58] <Hmmmm> guys, i have setup my domain on google apps. but cant get evolution to download mails
[05:58] <Dr_willis> cheeseboy16,  when in doubt fall back to the shell. i rarely ever use ark.
[05:58] <alanhaggai> How to repair the Ubuntu installation?
[05:59] <frying_fish> A microwave really shouldn't be causing a whole office to go down (unless you have too many things running off one circuit)
[05:59] <midgetg0at> so - no known vmware repair method?
[05:59] <cheeseboy16>  Dr_willis, how?
[05:59] <midgetg0at> yes frying, that is the thought.
[05:59] <midgetg0at> however, i dont feel like messing w/ a breaker box right now.
[05:59] <Dr_willis> cheeseboy16,  go to the shell, install the 7zip tool - and ark proberly will work. (also unstall 'unp') :)
[05:59] <compengi> AMAG, is the latest kernel <IP_ADDRESS>-11.35?
[05:59] <Dr_willis> !find 7zip
[05:59] <ubotu> Found: p7zip, p7zip-full
[05:59] <Killer548> midgetg0at, try launching vmware from a shell, you'll get the error message to display and maybe there'll be an obvious fix
[05:59] <niyi> i really do feel like a n00b asking this question.... how do you install wine?
[06:00] <Dr_willis> cheeseboy16,  so install those packages -  p7zip, p7zip-full  - i bet ark will work then.
[06:00] <cherva> can someone help me how to fix my GDM after the kernel update i have uninstalled the nvidia drivers installed them again and still then i change the Driver from "nv" to "nvidia" booom blue screen and it says no displays found !
[06:00] <vox754> alanhaggai: how did you mess up? I guess only thing is fresh reinstall. Or maybe reinstalling "gnome-desktop"
[06:00] <niyi> i cant seem to get it to work
[06:00] <midgetg0at> Killer: alright, i'll give it a shot....
[06:00] <frying_fish> midgetg0at: if vmware was installed from apt, then could aptitude remove --reinstall vmware
[06:00] <alanhaggai> niyi: sudo apt-get install wine
[06:00] <niyi> done that
[06:00] <Dr_willis> niyi,  then 'wine whatever.exe'
[06:00] <niyi> it says that im not root
[06:00] <midgetg0at> that wont mess my images up frying?
[06:00] <alanhaggai> vox754: No idea why. But many of the menus have disappeared.
[06:00] <lotusleaf> niyi: also see #winehq
[06:00] <alanhaggai> niyi: use sudo
[06:01] <bucketfan99> yeah Dr_willis it is
[06:01] <frying_fish> midgetg0at: no, since they are just files stored on your system, that aren't config files for it
[06:01] <frying_fish> so that should be fine
[06:01] <midgetg0at> ok, i'll give it a go.
[06:01] <bucketfan99> but it shows up in dmesg
[06:01] <bucketfan99> but then no etho devies
[06:01] <instabin> I can not install the new kernel update they are grayed out.
[06:01] <Dr_willis> bucketfan99,  i would guess its not loading the network card module
[06:01] <PwcrLinux> GreyGhost: My ff quit unexpect for unknown reasom after I installed flashplayer 9 and I looked in about:config something whacked up on network.IDN.blacklist_chars
[06:02] <Dr_willis> bucketfan99,  could boot a live cd - see if it works.. if so see what modules its loading.
[06:02] <EnsignRedshirt> Hmmm... I would think long and hard before running 'sudo wine program.exe'
[06:02] <midgetg0at> "  This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers."
[06:02] <vox754> instabin: don't install, it is still buggy.
[06:02] <bucketfan99> hmm thefn load them manually ?
[06:02] <bucketfan99> Ok i'll do that

[06:02] <AVN`> hey, my mouse doesn;t show up... help?
[06:02] <bucketfan99> there is no way to run through the detection portion of the installer without insatlling tho ?
[06:02] <frying_fish> midgetg0at: the command might be slightly different
[06:02] <EnsignRedshirt> Dr_willis: Oh, I see.
[06:02] <frying_fish> try apt-get , or do it in synaptic
[06:02] <midgetg0at> sux being a nub :)
[06:03] <Dr_willis> bucketfan99,  never needed to mess with it that way.  so not sure.. this is where being a old-timer hurts the newbs.. i KNOW what modules my network cards need.. :) so iwould just put the module in the autoload module list.
[06:03] <cherva> can someone help me how to fix my GDM after the kernel update i have uninstalled the nvidia drivers installed them again and still then i change the Driver from "nv" to "nvidia" booom blue screen and it says no displays found !

[06:04] <bona> allow
[06:04] <frying_fish> midgetg0at: synaptic may be the better choice as you can get the right package then.
[06:04] <train> I thought it was like telnet internic.net
[06:04] <train> but thats not right
[06:04] <PwcrLinux> GreyGhost: okay, someone might know the problem
[06:04] <frying_fish> rgl more than 6?
[06:04] <rgl> frying_fish, no.  two would be enough!
[06:05] <Boing> Hi the pwc driver shows only grey screen for webcam since update to <IP_ADDRESS> any help appreciated
[06:05] <GreyGhost> PwcrLinux , maybe try treinstalling FF ?
[06:05] <rgl> frying_fish, I can only press Ctrl+alt+f1 ... no other console works :(
[06:05] <frying_fish> hummn
[06:05] <frying_fish> odd
[06:05] <PwcrLinux> Grey: where I can reinstall it?
[06:06] <train> anyone know of a howto that allows me to add my NTFS partitions, and create a link to it on the desktop
[06:06] <train> I foudn the script to do it a while back
[06:06] <vox754> Boing: there are problems with kernel updates, don't upgrade. There is more info in the forums.
[06:06] <train> I dont know where to find it
[06:06] <Dr_willis> Defacto NTFS (and works for Vfat as well) guide for your Fstab/mounting of NTFS partitions -->  http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#how_do_i_mount_an_ntfs_volume
[06:06] <GreyGhost> PwcrLinux ,sudo apt-get install firefox
[06:06] <cherva> can someone help me how to fix my GDM after the kernel update i have uninstalled the nvidia drivers installed them again and still then i change the Driver from "nv" to "nvidia" booom blue screen and it says no displays found !
[06:07] <vox754> train: I think you only need to mount the partition on /media and then a link is created automatically
[06:07] <Boing> vox754 thanks - pity, it releases the webcam now in aMSN but that's not much use if it's all grey :)
[06:07] <train> are you sure about that?
[06:07] <GreyGhost> cya all ... bight
[06:07] <train> I'll give it a shot
[06:07] <PwcrLinux> GreyGhost: couldn't find it
[06:08] <ruzgar> I have a Ati radeon 9600
[06:08] <GreyGhost> PwcrLinux , ok .. run  "apt-cache search firefox" and put the name of the pacaakge in "apt-get .."
[06:08] <ruzgar> when I select  opensource "ati" drivers
[06:08] <ruzgar> I can't change the refresh rate for my tft monitor
[06:08] <midgetg0at> just ran sudo vmware in console - told me config was screwed up - going through "reconfigure" process...which is really just a bunch of <enter>'s
[06:08] <ruzgar> that is always 60hz
[06:09] <midgetg0at> bah, i have ot reenter my serial number?!??
[06:09] <midgetg0at> i donno where that is!
[06:09] <train> that didn't work vox754
[06:09] <ruzgar> fglrx dirver doesnt make a problem I can change the refresh rate when I use that dirver but beryl doesnt work no that
[06:09] <ruzgar> ??
[06:09] <midgetg0at> hah, but vmware is backup, thants for pointing out the obvous "run in console - you'll get an error message for a simple fix".
[06:09] <rgl> jeebuz.  to reread inittab is not enought to do a telinit q ?
[06:09] <Dr_willis> midgetg0at,  if its reinstalling over a prev install. it kept the old serial # in a file.. unless you whiped it out.
[06:09] <train> vox754: how do I mount the partition so all users can see the counts?
[06:10] <vox754> train: I read it somewhere... you checked your "places"?
[06:10] <Killer548> ;)
[06:10] <jvai> fiesty will replace daper when it's tyme right? in 2008
[06:10] <midgetg0at> yea, it must've because i'm back in business. thanks again guys. back to work.
[06:10] <train> vox754: its a permissions thing do you know how to mount it rw for all users?
[06:10] <vox754> !fiesty
[06:10] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[06:10] <PwcrLinux> Grey: Hmm no english file name on it..
[06:11] <EnsignRedshirt> jvai: Feisty is due to be released this April, but that doesn't mean it "replaces" edgy.  Edgy will still be supported.
[06:11] <xTERMiNATOR> I am not able to 'tick mark' the menus in 'Menu Layout'. Any help?
[06:11] <vox754> train: but is it NTFS? You edit your "/etc/fstab" and set apropriate "gid" and "uid" and maybe "oid"
[06:12] <train> ARGH
[06:12] <jvai> ooooh, what when dapper isnt supported in 2009? will it be replaced with fiesty?
[06:12] <sigger_> never used ubuntu desktop (only server).  How do I use the GUI/desktop to mount an nfs share? (I see how to mount samba shares, but no mention of nfs)
[06:12] <ruzgar> how can I make scroll in man pages ??
[06:12] <PwcrLinux> Grey: you there?
[06:12] <Dr_willis> ruzgar,  try 'man less' to learn how the less reader works.
[06:12] <Music_Shuffle> ruzgar, down arrow...?
[06:12] <quaal> what is NFS ?
[06:12] <yellow> jvai, by then you'd probably want to switch to the latest ubuntu at that time
[06:13] <Music_Shuffle> !NFS | quaal
[06:13] <ubotu> quaal: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[06:13] <Dr_willis> ruzgar,  try pageup/down ?
[06:13] <rgl> frying_fish, oh well, inittab is ignored on ubuntu due to the upstart thing
[06:13] <ruzgar> both of them doesnt work
[06:13] <sigger_> ooh, nfs not normally in ubuntu desktop?
[06:13] <jvai> yellow: i kno that.. but which "ubuntu will that be?
[06:13] <ruzgar> or maybe the file is very short
[06:13] <ruzgar> ok
[06:13] <frying_fish> ahh
[06:13] <ruzgar> thx
[06:13] <frying_fish> yeah I need to figure out how to beat upstart into submission
[06:14] <yellow> jvai, htf would i know ? i don't think mark shuttleworth knows either
[06:14] <vox754> ruzgar: wow, that was some short question-answer...
[06:14] <jvai> lo.. nevamind.. development is too fast! sh*t they may extent dapper for anothr 100 years ... lol
[06:14] <quaal> sigger_, go to system/administration/shared folders
[06:14] <EnsignRedshirt> jvai: A new version is released every six months. By then, you will have several choices, including whatever the "Long Term Support" version is.
[06:14] <quaal> sigger_, click on the folder, properties button
[06:14] <PwcrLinux> Oh well...
[06:14] <yellow> jvai, (at this time taht is)
[06:14] <quaal> sigger_, should be a dropdown box to pick from samba/nfs
[06:14] <jvai> riiight. gotcha
[06:15] <ruzgar> vox754, in wiki ubuntu that had been said that when I want to get information about open source ati drivers I should try "man ati"
[06:15] <sigger_> quaal: thanks.trying.
[06:15] <cheeseboy16> how do i unzip a .7z from terminal?
[06:15] <ruzgar> vox754, but that file contains very little information
[06:15] <yellow> jvai, and i'm running dapper btw, so no fret :)
[06:15] <Dr_willis> !find 7zip
[06:15] <jvai> <-- same @ yellow
[06:15] <ubotu> Found: p7zip, p7zip-full
[06:16] <yellow> jvai, =)
[06:16] <jvai> oi
[06:16] <vox754> ruzgar: that is correct. Want to read a BIG man page? Try "man bash".
[06:16] <ruzgar> :) ok

[06:17] <PieFinger> hilo
[06:17] <AVN`> my mouse has no picture! it works, but I can't see the cursur, please help
[06:17] <yellow> jvai, you can always save them to to a backup place for later use ^^!
[06:18] <Phopsy> Blimey, Kopete didn't like that! Anyway, I just installed the kernel updates and now my FGLRX driver has rolled back to Mesa - how do I go about gettting the darned thing back again?
[06:18] <maynoth42> :(
[06:18] <jvai> riight
[06:18] <maynoth42> I tried the xorg gui config
[06:18] <maynoth42> but it doesn't seem to actually be able to change anything
[06:18] <maynoth42> still stuck at 256 colors
[06:18] <vox754> Phopsy: there are problems with kernel updates, don't upgrade. There is more info in the forums.
[06:19] <Phopsy> vox754: Thanks :D It's a tad late now, though, so I guess I'm stuck with Mesa for a while
[06:19] <sigger_> quaal: ah, thx.  didn't read and found out that Ubuntu doesn't have nfs installed by default.  Duh, just realized my ubuntu servers at work only use samba.
[06:20] <Boing> vox754 I cleaned out the old pwc modules and reinstalled the one I had working in <IP_ADDRESS> and it works fine now
[06:20] <jvai> yes, twice i got the new kernel updates forwarded, but dapper wouldnt update them, said i needed to do a dist. upgrade 1st
[06:20] <quaal> sigger_, no prob
[06:20] <noiano> hello
[06:20] <quaal> hi
[06:20] <ul1024k> when I try to boot ubuntu it doesn't and the, on recovery mode it says "DSDT not found"... does anyone can help with that?
[06:21] <noiano> silly question: what do I need to download from a svn server?
[06:21] <vox754> Boing: good. Be sure to tell everyone not to update to the new kernel yet.
[06:21] <noiano> vox754: why?
[06:21] <kuw88_> how can i get realplayer for ubuntu6.6?
[06:21] <PwcrLinux> Oh boy, SPM are not linked to server (can't find or dir) I am on breezy
[06:21] <Phopsy> kuw88_: because it's rubbish, frankly :D
[06:21] <FurryNemesis> vox754, far too late, luckily I'm just trying to get my desktop items back
[06:21] <vox754> noiano: there are problems with kernel updates, don't upgrade. There is more info in the forums.
[06:22] <EnsignRedshirt> noiano: For subversion: sudo apt-get install subversion
[06:22] <AVN`> don't upgrade the kernal?
[06:22] <AVN`> good to know
[06:22] <noiano> thanks EnsignRedshirt
[06:22] <FurryNemesis> yes, stay away for now
[06:22] <Phopsy> ...So, how do I go about rolling back?
[06:22] <rgl> anyone  known how to "start" /etc/event.d/tty2 ?!
[06:23] <vox754> There is a bot message about the new kernel, but I don't remember it.
[06:23] <kuw88_> i need real palyer for ubuntu 6.6?
[06:23] <Phopsy> Cheers, vox, I'll have a quick look on the forums (Y)
[06:23] <LjL> vox754: it's not there anymore, since those problems were fixed.
[06:23] <PwcrLinux> anyone who's on breezy?
[06:23] <FurryNemesis> kuw88_, you need the wm32 codecs from the repos
[06:23] <quaal> kuw88_, why would you NEED realplayer
[06:23] <Pntkl> Hi
[06:23] <Mongo2> hello
[06:23] <Pntkl> ??
[06:23] <Mongo2> I'll soon find out
[06:23] <maynoth42> ok I just changed all the depths in xorg.conf to 24 maybe that will work...
[06:24] <vox754> LjL: you sure?, because people seem to have problems still
[06:24] <maynoth42> anyone know how to reboot xorg without locking up the system
[06:24] <maynoth42> ?
[06:24] <mnabil> !maplyer
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about maplyer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <Murf> Hello. Is there anybody here who could help with an ndiswrapper issue?
[06:24] <yellow> jvai, it's in /usr/share/sound
[06:24] <LjL> vox754: probably different problems (such as having unofficial drivers for their video cards which, of course, won't work with the new kernel unless they are updated)
[06:24] <cypherdelic> how to get cryptsetup-luks volumes acces with ubuntu  livecd
[06:24] <kuw88_> <quaal coz there web site  need this realplayer
[06:24] <jvai> aaaaaah! ty sooo much @ yellow!!!
[06:25] <yellow> jvai, np
[06:25] <cypherdelic> i want to copy my root partition two another partition
[06:25] <harisund> Murf: what does ndiswrapper issue?
[06:25] <cypherdelic> but it crashes
[06:25] <cypherdelic> the hole laptop does not respond, any ideas
[06:25] <vox754> LjL: well, make a bot message with this info "the kernel updates have been fixed, but you may need to update your unofficial drivers also"
[06:25] <maynoth42> GreyGhost you still around?
[06:25] <B_166-ER-X> When a cd/dvd rom  is stuck in a loop (or something) while trying to read a file that is unreadable, and it wont eject or umount , what would be the command to know exaclty what process are used by the cd-rom ?
[06:25] <kuw88_> wm32 codecs from the repos where can i get this
[06:25] <Murf> harisund: I've got it to the point where I get "driver present, hardware present" when I type ndiswrapper -l.
[06:26] <Murf> And then I did iwconfig to set it up.
[06:26] <harisund> B_166-ER-X: I believe there is a command called fuser. Try fuser /dev/hdc or /dev/cd_rom_device ..
[06:26] <Murf> harisund: But I'm not getting any lights on the wireless card.
[06:26] <vox754> harisund: talk in #ndiswrapper, you can talk privately there.
[06:27] <harisund> vox754: is #ndiswrapper on freenode?
[06:27] <Murf> harisund: thanks!
[06:27] <LjL> vox754: hardly very useful. someone who knows how something like "updating one's unofficial drivers" is done is unlikely to *need* to be told that in the first place - and those who don't know (well, unofficial repositories *do* have huge disclaimers usually, but anyway...) will have as much of a clue as before
[06:27] <FurryNemesis> kuw88_, use synaptic - if you have enabled universe and multiverse they should be in there
[06:27] <Eranmane> OK, here's the deal. I want to install Ubuntu on a Dell inspiron.
[06:27] <zyth> Is there some sort of problem with security.ubuntu.com ? I can't get any header listing from it, it just times out.  All the other repos work fine when I apt-get update
[06:27] <jvai> kuw88_, i got them thru synaptic, w/ multi & universe enabled.. the yshowed up
[06:27] <FurryNemesis> zyth, I had the same problem, just keep trying
[06:27] <Eranmane> Problem is that a Dell Inspiron won't boot from CD properly.
[06:27] <PwcrLinux> Zyth: yep I got same thing on my breezy
[06:28] <frying_fish> Eranmane: what model, and why won't it boot from cd?
[06:28] <zyth> hm k
[06:28] <ruzgar> I can't change the refreshing rate when I use the open source ati drivers ?
[06:28] <LjL> maynoth42: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X
[06:28] <frying_fish> my inspiron 630m will boot from cd (if I tell it to)
[06:28] <ruzgar> can somebody help me?
[06:28] <harisund> B_166-ER-X: did you get what you were looking for?
[06:28] <FingerPie> wont boot from CD "properly"
[06:28] <FingerPie> ?
[06:28] <B_166-ER-X> harisund nope, the command doesnt return anything
[06:29] <Eranmane> frying_fish: I'll check model later, and it won't boot from CD because whenever I try to, it simply returns to Windows.
[06:29] <__doc__> hi, a question. Can I autohide the desktop panels completely, such that they're not showing at all (instead of reatreating up to 3 px)
[06:29] <frying_fish> I think you just need to mash F12 a few times when you turn it on
[06:29] <vox754> LjL: well, I'm trusting you on that. But still info should be given.
[06:29] <PwcrLinux> let me check pings on them..
[06:29] <brombomb> If I install apache Where is the root dir for webpages?
[06:29] <AVN`> anyone have any suggestions for my cursur that has no image?
[06:29] <frying_fish> Eranmane: you have to hit F12 when you turn the computer on, then select CD
[06:29] <harisund> B_166-ER-X: did you enter the name of your CD rom device? (It might not necessarily be hdc on your machine)
[06:29] <mphill> nautilus won't show all the files on my hd, just media and home.  what gives?
[06:29] <Eranmane> frying_fish: I know.
[06:29] <frying_fish> then whats the problem?
[06:29] <Eranmane> When I select CD, it boots Windows anyway.
[06:29] <frying_fish> then the CD isn't a bootable cd
[06:29] <FingerPie> yes F12 or F2 for dell
[06:30] <B_166-ER-X> yup, although i'm TRYING to confirm that it was hdc, but now nautilus is frozen. :)
[06:30] <Eranmane> It boots on my desktop...
[06:30] <frying_fish> you haven't made the cd correctly.
[06:30] <FurryNemesis> Eranmane, did you write the CD in ISO format?
[06:30] <PwcrLinux> security.ubuntu.com seem alive.. prolly just a server crashed
[06:30] <harisund> B_166-ER-X: can you get back to any kind of a shell? A Ctrl-Alt-F1 perhaps? SSH login?
[06:30] <frying_fish> Eranmane: does it just completely skip the cd, or at least attempt to load from it.
[06:30] <DigitalNinja> I'm updating a server. One of the packages beeing updated is "linux-server". Do I need to do a reboot?
[06:30] <rammsteined> Hey, whenever I login I get this error: "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users." :/
[06:30] <B_166-ER-X> harisund yes
[06:30] <maynoth42> :(
[06:31] <Megaqwerty> Where do I go to configure all keybindings? (including Alt-F4)
[06:31] <rammsteined> what should I do?
[06:31] <harisund>  B_166-ER-X ok ..then execute "mount" to know where your CD rom is mounted...and what your CD device is. Then try fuser /dev/cd.device
[06:31] <FingerPie> give it permissions
[06:31] <_Jaak_> lupine_85, when do you think the nvidia drivers from you're repo will be kernel ready?
[06:31] <maynoth42> ok well I guess it needed a format anyway
[06:31] <maynoth42> seems I have to format ubuntu a heck of a lot more than windows...
[06:31] <maynoth42> *_*
[06:31] <lupine_85> _Jaak_: I'm getting there
[06:31] <maynoth42> :B
[06:31] <lupine_85> just uploading the last ones now
[06:31] <TomEstat> Hi, i'm in trouble while trying to compile dss-vst0.4 on a fresh Ubuntu system. Can anybody help ??
[06:32] <FingerPie> format ubuntu?
[06:32] <maynoth42> yeah
[06:32] <frying_fish> maynoth42: not true, unless you're doing silly things (and tbh most can be recovered without a reinstall)
[06:32] <maynoth42> well im asking
[06:32] <lupine_85> the whole process involves maybe a gigabyte of data
[06:32] <_Jaak_> lupine_85, thanks for you're efforts!
[06:32] <maynoth42> last time I updated something
[06:32] <maynoth42> and it broke X
[06:32] <ul1024k> when I try to boot ubuntu it doesn't and then, on recovery mode, it says "DSDT not found"... does anyone can help with that?
[06:32] <Eranmane> I got the 6.06 LTS from https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ so it shouldn't be a write problem. Laptop doesn't seem to recognise CD at all even under windows.
[06:32] <maynoth42> so I had to reformat
[06:32] <frying_fish> maynoth42: no you don't
[06:32] <B_166-ER-X> harisund, it was indeed, hdc, and it still doenst return anything
[06:32] <Megaqwerty> where is the keyboard bindings configuration file?
[06:32] <lupine_85> enjoy it while it lasts :p
[06:32] <AVN`> can somebody help me?
[06:32] <maynoth42> well anywho frying
[06:32] <frying_fish> not just because X broke, doesn't mean you have to format, the rest of the system works, so you can just go back to other things to make X work.
[06:32] <maynoth42> perhaps you can help me
[06:32] <Bsims> Grr, rdiff-backup is ignoring something in my exclude any ideas
[06:32] <harisund> B_166-ER-X: what happens if you try to umount /dev/hdc? Does it say the device is in use?
[06:33] <maynoth42> my colors are stuck
[06:33] <B_166-ER-X> harisund yes
[06:33] <maynoth42> at 256
[06:33] <brombomb> is there a way to "sudo" a file drag and drop?
[06:33] <frying_fish> Eranmane: problem with the cd drive then.
[06:33] <maynoth42> xorg.conf says its 24
[06:33] <maynoth42> if you know how to fix it without a format im all ears
[06:33] <kritzstapf> i installed kiba-dock and messed up with the settings, how to reset them do the state they were after apt-get-installing?
[06:33] <frying_fish> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't help ?
[06:33] <harisund> B_166-ER-X: that's funny .. but we are not able to find out what process  is using it, right? Can you try and figure out something from the listing of ps -axjf or something on your terminal?
[06:33] <Eranmane> It can read my other cds... Fine. Is there an "alternative" Ubuntu install I can try?
[06:34] <maynoth42> ill give it a shot
[06:34] <Megaqwerty> can anyone help me with my aforementioned issue?^^
[06:34] <frying_fish> I would say if the cd is working in another machine, but not that one, then the machine is at fault
[06:34] <FurryNemesis> anyone know how to restore desktop icons? my update *nearly* went smoothly apart from this......
[06:34] <kuw88_> i find the real player >?
[06:34] <Megaqwerty> mnsg ubotu gconf
[06:34] <Megaqwerty> whoops
[06:34] <kuw88_> \where can i find the real player?
[06:35] <maynoth42> frying_fish... I have no clue what answers I am supposed to give :(
[06:35] <dxdt> FurryNemesis, which icons?  Most you can just drag back onto the desktop
[06:35] <Bsims> Is there a better group to ask my question in?
[06:35] <billy> hello, having a problem with getting swat to run on ubuntu 6.10 . i've edited /etc/service  to include 'swat 901/tcp ' and created /etc/xinet.d/swat to have 'service swat { port 901 etc ..' I just get  page not found etc  when I localhost:901 etc. what have i missed thanks
[06:35] <gbjk> Good afternoon.
[06:35] <B_166-ER-X> harisund, i' ll continue my quest for this problem... i dont see anything special in the ps -axjf, so, i'll get back to you i i find something, thanx
[06:35] <carl> kung, download it with automatix
[06:35] <gbjk> I'm about to ask some pretty fscking stupid questions, so sorry in advance.
[06:35] <kung> huh?
[06:35] <rammsteined> Anyone know?
[06:35] <zero88> does anybody know what the apt-get install name for the ieee80211 system is?
[06:35] <carl> kuw88_, automatix mmake that
[06:35] <brombomb> How do I copy a dir ?
[06:36] <gbjk> I've used linux for many years, but always without a gui (server online)
[06:36] <harisund> B_166-ER-X: ok thanks :)
[06:36] <kung> ;)
[06:36] <jvai> i wanna be like u @ gbjk.... i cant do that.. well, i find it hard
[06:36] <Bsims> maynoth42: have you restarted X
[06:36] <gbjk> I've finally managed to get ubuntu working on an old machine with a voodoo 3, 128mb ram, and some sort of hamster wheel processor made by intel.
[06:36] <maynoth42> I rebooted
[06:36] <gbjk> Swap?
[06:36] <rammsteined> I own .dmrc, and it is modded to 644, so why does it say it isn't? :(
[06:36] <ahave> is networking ubuntu w/ windows based networks for file/print sharing 'hard' ?
[06:37] <gbjk> So, anyway...
[06:37] <mister_roboto> brombomb: cp -R
[06:37] <FurryNemesis> dxdt, that's true, but what's happening is that my nautilus is showing all the things I normally have on the desktop, whereas my desktop is actually blank apart from my wallpaper. That, and I can't click
[06:37] <Bsims> Grr, rdiff-backup is ignoring something in my exclude file any ideas?
[06:37] <gbjk> Using the gui interface to change the screen resolution gives me no options other than 600x480
[06:37] <brombomb> mister_roboto: thanks
[06:37] <baluk> hi all
[06:37] <funkja> What should my fstab entry look like if I want to mount /dev/sda3 to /home/funkja/ with the permissions drwxr-xr-x and ownership funkja.funkja?
[06:37] <baluk> anyone to help me on crontab..
[06:38] <gbjk> Ironically this resolution is so small that I can't even manage to configure things, because the default size of the windows is too big to fit onto the screen, when resized to minimum :D
[06:38] <EnsignRedshirt> !anyone | baluk
[06:38] <ubotu> baluk: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:38] <gbjk> baluk: Ask, don't ask to ask.
[06:38] <rammsteined> this is the thing for ~/.dmrc: -rw-r--r-- 1 rowan users 0 2007-02-11 01:10 /home/rowan/.dmrc
[06:38] <dxdt> ahave, not really if you are just talking like getting your Ubuntu machine to see the shared folders and shared printing.  I networked to my fathers windows xp shared printer in under two minutes.  Like literally just point and click for me.
[06:38] <ruzgar> how can i reconfigure my dpkg
[06:38] <ruzgar> how is the command ?
[06:38] <ruzgar> !dpkg
[06:38] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[06:38] <ruzgar> ?????
[06:38] <gbjk> I assume I get no option to change to a bigger resolution because the device isn't installed or configured properly.
[06:38] <kritzstapf> i installed kiba-dock and messed up with the settings, how to reset them do the state they were after apt-get-installing?
[06:38] <baluk> crontab despite the regular entries is not working
[06:38] <gbjk> Am I right?
[06:38] <kritzstapf> :\
[06:39] <dxdt> FurryNemesis, oh weird, I have no idea then.  Maybe someone else with more Ubuntu Fu knows.
[06:39] <ruzgar> dpkg -re.... ???
[06:39] <AVN`> How can I get my cursor to show up?
[06:39] <lupine_85> _Jaak_: want to test it?
[06:39] <ahave> dxdt>>  can you link me to a tutorial?
[06:39] <FurryNemesis> dxdt, yep.... thx though
[06:39] <_Jaak_> sure
[06:39] <ahave> dxdt>>  or just explpain how?
[06:39] <gbjk> baluk: Much more likely is that you've done something wrong. Use a paste page (topic) to show what it is you've done.
[06:39] <_Jaak_> ill test it on my test machine
[06:39] <gbjk> So, back to my problem ( if anyone is listening )
[06:39] <_Jaak_> it's slow
[06:39] <_Jaak_> very slow
[06:40] <gbjk> How do I tell if 1) "Drivers" are installed for the sound card
[06:40] <gbjk> 2) The sound card is configured properly.
[06:40] <dxdt> ahave, umm  really if the shares are already setup, and we are just talking like basic windows workgroup sharing it is as easy as clicking Places >> Network Servers >> and then Windows Network >> and from there you navigate the workgroups like you do in windows.
[06:40] <gbjk> Device manager shows the device, and the pci reports it's state correctly.
[06:40] <geokok> I was affected by the recent kernel problem and I lost X. Although I booted in the old kernel and downgraded to the previous version (10) grub still boots in the flawed (11). How can I fix that?
[06:40] <gbjk> And if anyone wants to help me and can do so in console I'd be much more comfortable there than in the gui.
[06:40] <ahave> dxdt, hmm. i thought i have that setup but my windows network folder is empty..
[06:41] <gbjk> Actually, Maybe I should take a looksee at the x11.conf. That's what ubuntu would use, right?
[06:41] <LjL> geokok, can't you just tell grub to boot 10 by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[06:41] <Megaqwerty> Can anyone help me with my keyboard?
[06:41] <kenny20> hi
[06:41] <baluk> how do i paste a page
[06:41] <ahave> dxdt, and with this method if i setup a folder on my linux box to be shared.. will my XP boxes be able to see it?
[06:41] <DigitalNinja> is there something wrong with security.ubuntu.com? I'm not getting updates from that server.
[06:41] <kenny20> I would like to sign the packages of my repository, without falcon.
[06:41] <kenny20> can u help me ?
[06:41] <rammsteined> Anyone? This is making my hair fall out :/
[06:41] <kenny20> (a tutorial for example)
[06:41] <geokok> LjL I guess I can but 1.) I dont know how :) 2.) Shouldn't the downgrade fix that?
[06:41] <kenny20> thanks in advance
[06:42] <J-_> I'm getting serious DDOS attacks, is there any way I can stop them from happening?
[06:42] <pecisk> what's up with security.ubuntu.com?
[06:42] <Betatux> Question : Does anyone know of any third party programs that can scan for virusses when downloading or uploading files through the WebDAV protocol ?
[06:42] <FurryNemesis> it;s down
[06:42] <FurryNemesis> hee hee
[06:42] <pecisk> FurryNemesis: thanks
[06:42] <MrJeep> hi
[06:42] <MrJeep> I'm wondering
[06:42] <MrJeep> is the last version for download also a live cd ?
[06:42] <geokok> LjL U gave the path to the file soory I did not notice at first.
[06:42] <pecisk> J-_: there are various ways to deal with it, but they are rather difficult
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> Windows only raise when I click on their titlebars. How do I fix this?
[06:43] <dxdt> ahave, that I'm not sure about.  I don't think so.  Though I have shared stuff in the past using the command line and it was fairly easy to do.  Just google around for samba and stuff if you need to on that.  I wish I had a windows box around still I could help you more :-/
[06:43] <gbjk> WTF - No /etc/bashrc by default. None at all
[06:43] <EnsignRedshirt> MrJeep: Yes.
[06:43] <ahave> dxdt, alright. thanks for your help
[06:43] <J-_> pecisk: do you know of any tutorials I can use do deal with it?
[06:43] <mnabil> how can i install mplayer on ubuntu edgy ?
[06:43] <MrJeep> let's hope it's going to work great on my laptop (Toshiba A100)
[06:43] <baluk> does anyone faced problems wit crontab
[06:43] <dxdt> mnabil, sudo apt-get install mplayer I think
[06:43] <dxdt> mnabil, or using synaptic search for mplayer
[06:44] <gbjk> baluk: Paste your config to the pastebot (Topic)
[06:44] <Betatux> mnabil , have you tried automatix ?
[06:44] <LjL> !automatix
[06:44] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:44] <J-_> eww
[06:44] <Betatux> oO :D
[06:45] <HaMF> HI
[06:45] <Megaqwerty> Windows only raise when I click on their titlebars. How do I fix this?
[06:45] <Bsims> lets try this again... all I want to do is backup with rdiff-backup like I did weekly on Debian... but for some reason known only to the Great GNU it wants to try to recurse its own backup ignoring my beautifully hand crafted exclude file... Anyone else have this issue?
[06:45] <EnsignRedshirt> MrJeep: This might be a bit old but worth a look: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsToshiba
[06:45] <Betatux> Anyone familiar with WebDAV ?
[06:45] <ul1024k> when I try to boot ubuntu it doesn't and then, on recovery mode, it says "DSDT not found"... does anyone can help with that?
[06:46] <geokok> LjL when should I perform the upgrade of the kernel? any news if it was fixed?
[06:46] <mnabil> Betatux: what is it ?
[06:46] <baluk> how do i paste  to the pastebot.. i'm on opera chat
[06:46] <HaMF> i upgraded my edgy to feisty. everything went "fine" except from gaim. it is no longer able to connect to icq. the status is "Waiting for network connection". how can i fix that?
[06:46] <gbjk> baluk: Visit the URL in the topic in your web browser.
[06:46] <jrib> HaMF: feisty help in #ubuntu+1
[06:46] <HaMF> thanks
[06:46] <Betatux> mnabil , i'm looking for a program that can scan files for virusses when files get uploaded or downloaded through the WebDAV protocol
[06:47] <lupine_85> _Jaak_: unsurprising
[06:47] <lupine_85> bear with it
[06:47] <EnsignRedshirt> MrJeep: Also try searching for ToshibaSatellite at wiki.ubuntu.com
[06:47] <LjL> geokok, the dependency problems are fixed. any problems with third-party X drivers is not a problem with Ubuntu...
[06:47] <lupine_85> I don't have teh munnie for a fast link for that server
[06:47] <pbureau> MrJeep, what kind of satellite you have ?
[06:47] <rammsteined> This is going to sound odd, but can someone put a copy of their ~/.dmrc file up on pastebin?
[06:47] <Betatux> mnabil, I've tried some programs already but none are good enough (streamav , mod_clamav , dansguardian , http antivirus proxy and mod_security)
[06:48] <dxdt> test
[06:48] <geokok> LjL I see your point but still I would like to know if the update would kill X
[06:49] <pbureau> Betatux, f-prot ?
[06:49] <LjL> geokok: if it did when you last tried, it probably still will.
[06:49] <J-_> !ddos
[06:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ddos - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:49] <geokok> LjL and exactly how would ubuntu stop crashing when it will ship with the proprietary drivers by default?
[06:49] <seal`> edgy: I installed a configured ndiswrapper with win32 driver for my wifi card. Everything works fine, but when I boot system wifi is 'unavailable' (like there's no kernel module), but in `lsmod` i see ndiswrapper and when I `rmmod ndiswrapper && modprobe ndiswrapper` wifi works fine again (until next reboot)
[06:49] <LjL> geokok: there was no reason why you should have "downgraded" (if with that you mean you have *removed* the new kernel) anyway, all you need is to *boot* into the old kernel, no need to remove anything or wait before updating
[06:49] <Betatux> pbureau , i'll have a look thanks
[06:50] <MrJeep> anyone could explain to me what Beryl is, if it,s the same thing as xgl ??
[06:50] <lupine_85> they aren't the same thing :)
[06:50] <daviey> How can i mount / burn *.bin and *.cue files??
[06:50] <ompaul> MrJeep, it ain't and you can ask in #ubuntu-beryl
[06:50] <LjL> geokok, when it will ship with them by default, they will be updated in sync with the distribution. now that you're getting it from third party repositories (or even straight from nvidia/ati as "installers"), you'll have to wait until [if]  they fix things.
[06:50] <geokok>  MrJeep beryl is a fork of compiz and provide a 3d desktop like it
[06:50] <rammsteined> anyone? :/
[06:50] <Megaqwerty> Windows only raise when I click on their titlebars. How do I fix this?
[06:50] <LjL> geokok, that's the difference between official repositories and software installed in other ways.
[06:50] <lupine_85> !bchunk
[06:50] <ompaul> geokok, that question is still for ati and nvidia - what problems to video drivers cost users on other platforms
[06:50] <ubotu> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (edgy), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[06:50] <LjL> !bchunk | daviey
[06:50] <ubotu> daviey: please see above
[06:51] <lupine_85> ooh, upgrades
[06:51] <lupine_85> LjL: update to repo done
[06:51] <daviey> LjL, thanx
[06:51] <baluk> i have pasted the contents of crontab ..http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5096/
[06:51] <LjL> lupine_85: thanks, checking it out
[06:51] <geokok> LjL thanks I wasn't aware of the full process. Thanks for your help. c ya
[06:51] <PwcrLinux> reinstalled flashplayer 9 and my FF still same thing..
[06:51] <lupine_85> haha, I'm being pwned
[06:52] <vox754> rammsteined: what for? what did you do?
[06:52] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: Try System->Preferences->Windows ... there might be an option in there to change the behavior.
[06:52] <lupine_85> Outgoing rate: 4999.6kbps
[06:52] <lupine_85> limit is 5,000
[06:52] <rammsteined> vox754: to try and work out what's wrong with mine/my system
[06:52] <jrib> PwcrLinux: same thing?  what do you mean exactly?
[06:52] <LjL> lupine_85: that's not me, my apt-get update is stuck on security.ubuntu.com ;)
[06:52] <vox754> rammsteined: you ready, this is a BIG file...
[06:53] <rammsteined> ok
[06:53] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: no, there isn't
[06:53] <Dr_willis> lJ i noticed that today also.
[06:53] <dxdt> anyone happen to know how I change the color of my own text in xchat so it shows up better?
[06:53] <vox754> rammsteined: just kidding, TWO lines: [Desktop]
[06:53] <vox754> Session=default
[06:53] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: I have "Selected windows when the mouse mover over them" checked.  This gives the window focus when the mouse is over the window, and I can click anywhere to raise it.
[06:53] <lupine_85> no, it's the millions of other users
[06:53] <rammsteined> vox754: thanks
[06:53] <FingerPie> what client, xchat?
[06:53] <PwcrLinux> jrib: I reinstalled the flashplayer 9, I browsed websites the FF quits unexpectly, something wrong with FF or flashplayer 9?
[06:53] <dxdt> FingerPie, yeah
[06:53] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: I am using dapper... I don't know if this is the same in other versions of Ubuntu.
[06:53] <Dr_willis> PwcrLinux,  Yes. :)
[06:54] <LjL> Dr_willis: i think it's still just the burden from users downloading the new kernel. rememeber it all comes from security
[06:54] <FingerPie> there is options colors
[06:54] <maynoth42> I would pay 5-10 USD
[06:54] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: right, but I don't want the rollover part. Just that I can click anywhere on the window for it to be selected and raised
[06:54] <maynoth42> just to not have to reformat
[06:54] <LjL> !support > maynoth42    (maynoth42, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:54] <jrib> PwcrLinux: what is your display's bit depth?
[06:54] <Dr_willis> LjL,  i dident even SEE a kernel update listed in my updates. :) perhaps the server was so overloaded it got skipped
[06:54] <dxdt> FingerPie, seriously?  I've been looking there and I'm just not seeing it :-/
[06:54] <PwcrLinux> I am breezy
[06:54] <maynoth42> !support
[06:54] <ubotu> For your support options, see http://www.ubuntu.com/support For IRC support, join #ubuntu / #kubuntu / #xubuntu etc
[06:54] <PwcrLinux> let me look on screen settings brb
[06:54] <lupine_85> 110GB of users so far this month, and they're all going to update at once... :D
[06:54] <dxdt> FingerPie, what is it called in Colors
[06:55] <FingerPie> ummm, i dont have it running here, there is an item that sets all of the colors, messages, background etc
[06:55] <maynoth42> ugg I'll reformat before I pay $250 USD
[06:55] <maynoth42> :B
[06:55] <LjL> Dr_willis: edgy, 2.6.17-10 to 2.6.17-11, and being quite a nuisance (first, they broke the dependencies - now they've fixed the dependencies, but everyone who has "bleeding edge" nvidia/ati drivers has their X, of course, broken)
[06:55] <Dr_willis> FingerPie,  i dont see a way to set the persons own text different color then the rest of the text.
[06:55] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: do you understand?
[06:55] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: Yes, I see.
[06:55] <PwcrLinux> 1024x768 at 60 hz
[06:55] <orionrobots> Ah - that explains my problem rather well already.. Security site is drowning is it.. Are there mirrors?
[06:55] <DigitalNinja> Is there something going on with the Ubuntu servers? It's taking a long time to finish "apt-get update".
[06:55] <FingerPie> hang on looking up
[06:55] <dxdt> FingerPie, yeah I see those, but none of those seem to control my text color as they don't seem to change my text color when I change them
[06:55] <Danielv> Hello
[06:56] <orionrobots> My X was broken - so I set my xorg to NV. No GL for me until it is fixed then..
[06:56] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: I turned off that option.  I can click anywhere in a window to raise it.
[06:56] <Dr_willis> DigitalNinja,  yes.. theres a lot of updates getting hammered firhg now.
[06:56] <live> hello, how are you?
[06:56] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: right, but I can't
[06:56] <Dr_willis> DigitalNinja,  id say wait a day or so. :)
[06:56] <Danielv> i`m problem ..
[06:56] <live> a problem?
[06:56] <Danielv> kernel panic -not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
[06:56] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: something happened to my computer, and I have no idea what, but it's been acting weird like that lately
[06:56] <PwcrLinux> jrib: 1024x768 at 60 Hz
[06:56] <tristanmike> Hi just updated and I have no unofficial sources, and after the kernel update, my Ubuntu wont start X or GDM....help please.
[06:57] <jrib> PwcrLinux: that's not your bit depth.  xdpyinfo| grep -i depth\ of\ root
[06:57] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: I think my debian setup acts like yours. I'm sure there is an option somewhere to change, but--sorry--I don't know what it is.
[06:57] <live> I don't know anything about it
[06:57] <tristanmike> I had to an earlier kernel
[06:57] <DigitalNinja> Dr_willis: Are you talking about users downloading or the Ubuntu developers updating the servers?
[06:57] <orionrobots> Tristan - are you using NVidia card?
[06:57] <tristanmike> yes
[06:57] <dxdt> FingerPie, nm I was able to get it by changing one of the random color numbers listed but I don't know how I'm supposed to know which color I was
[06:57] <kitche> tristanmike: if you use ati or nvidia drivers X is broken have to use nv or ati for now
[06:57] <justin420> hi everyone. anybody help with some hostname resolution issues with a certain application? I have NIC's one wired one wireless both I believe are setup correctly, but this one program cant seem to resolve hostnames anymore?
[06:57] <Danielv> you have idea? kernel panic -not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
[06:57] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: I'm sure there is as well, but thanks for trying.
[06:57] <lupine_85> kitche: is it?
[06:57] <FingerPie> right, i remember having that prob, but i set it like a year ago and forgot
[06:57] <Dr_willis> DigitalNinja,  i think its a little of both.. :) apraently a kernel update has some 'issues'  - i think i will wait till next week to update
[06:57] <tristanmike> bah, thanks kitche and orionrobots. So do I just open xorg.conf and switch from nvidia to nv ?
[06:57] <kitche> tristanmike: unless of course you manually install the drivers yourself
[06:57] <orionrobots> Yes.
[06:58] <britt> how does one change the default login manager from gdm to kdm?
[06:58] <poohma> does totem usually work "out of the box" in ubuntu?  cant get it to work at all...  just tells me that I dont have the right plugin installed...
[06:58] <lupine_85> why is it broken?
[06:58] <LjL> tristanmike: that... or perhaps just boot from the old kernel?
[06:58] <orionrobots> Hmm - I should have thought of that too.
[06:58] <tristanmike> LjL: I'm doing that currently :D
[06:58] <davin> I need help on updating thru apt
[06:58] <kitche> lupine_85: ljl just said it :) a few lines ago
[06:58] <DigitalNinja> Dr_willis: Thanks for the info. I'll pass this allong to our local LUG.
[06:58] <PwcrLinux> jrib: here is
[06:58] <orionrobots> What exactly does the new Kernel bring anyway?
[06:58] <FingerPie> okay, it's in "your action" in the "text events" config
[06:58] <FingerPie> i remember now
[06:58] <PwcrLinux> opps
[06:58] <FingerPie> you have to edit "text events"
[06:58] <Megaqwerty> britt: in the login menu, select kdm or gdm (whichever one you want to use) and then say yes to the prompt that asks if you want to use it as your default setting
[06:58] <LjL> kitche: wait, are the *official* binary drivers broken with the new kernel too?
[06:58] <Mandrill> trying to mount an ntfs drive with fuse/ntfstmount and I get the message "windows did not shut down properly Try to mount volume in windows, shutdown and try again' the only problem with that being that I don't have windows running on the machine that the drive is in. Is there any way round this?
[06:58] <Dr_willis> DigitalNinja,  of course this may all get fixed by tomorrow. :)
[06:59] <tristanmike> Does this problem affect the versions right across the board or is it just a Dapper thing ?
[06:59] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: Try this: run gconf-editor, go to apps->metacity->general, and change raise-on-click
[06:59] <Megaqwerty> britt: or something to that extent
[06:59] <lupine_85> The official ones won't be, I'm almost certain
[06:59] <jrib> PwcrLinux: still not there... just run the command I gave you :)
[06:59] <orionrobots> I am on Edgy - got me too
[06:59] <anthony_> Hi guys, I installed scorched3d on ubuntu, when i load it.. all the text in the game is "garbage". anyone with a similar problem?
[06:59] <LjL> PwcrLinux, eerg, annoying
[06:59] <DigitalNinja> Dr_willis: You never know
[06:59] <kitche> LjL: don't think so as long as you install them correctly :)
[06:59] <Danielv> help, im installing ubuntu 6.10 on server adm64 , but say kernel panic -not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1), i need help
[06:59] <justin420> poohma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:59] <CheshireViking> is anybody having problems with update manager, I'm getting an error about failed to fetch linux headers and could not connect to security.ubuntu.com?
[06:59] <orionrobots> Yes Viking.
[06:59] <PwcrLinux> Ljl, yea don't worry about it.. just someone want to ask.. hehe
[06:59] <LjL> CheshireViking: security.ubuntu.com is overloaded
[06:59] <orionrobots> The new kernel has the servers at capacity it appears..
[06:59] <kitche> LjL: they have to reinstall the driver each time the kernel gets updated anyways that's what the problem is no one made a package for the new module
[06:59] <orionrobots> I would not bother.
[07:00] <lupine_85> haha, if they can't cope I certainly can't
[07:00] <FingerPie> Dr willis\
[07:00] <CheshireViking> LjL: Thanks, I'll try again later
[07:00] <orionrobots> It is broken for now CheshireViking - leave it a few days for them to fix the fallout..
[07:00] <Megaqwerty> it is already selected...
[07:00] <vox754> LjL: told you, there are still problems. I will not update until the message in the forums is removed.
[07:00] <lupine_85> kitche: I just uploaded it - for the unofficial repo
[07:00] <tristanmike> LjL: Does this problem affect the versions right across the board or is it just a Dapper thing ?
[07:00] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone know of a program to convert a directory of mp3s to ogg files?
[07:00] <FunnyLookinHat> !restricted
[07:00] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:00] <PwcrLinux> jrib: 24 planes
[07:00] <orionrobots> Tristanmike - it is across the board.
[07:01] <jrib> FunnyLookinHat: mp32ogg
[07:01] <orionrobots> At least in Edgy, and Dapper. Not sure about Breezy
[07:01] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: it is already selected...but disabling and re-enableing helped a bit. now the windows get selected, but they aren't brought to the front
[07:01] <ubuntu> How much space should I give to the "/"  if I will have a separate partition for "/home" ?
[07:01] <LjL> tristanmike: actually i'm on Edgy and i thought Dapper didn't have any problem
[07:01] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: and in that same part of gconf-editor, change focus-mode to clickl
[07:01] <FunnyLookinHat> jrib, oh haha, thanks.   does it have a GUI?
[07:01] <lupine_85> ubuntu: 5 to 10 GB is normally fine
[07:01] <tristanmike> LjL: well, it's got it :P
[07:01] <jrib> FunnyLookinHat: not that I know of, maybe
[07:01] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: *click
[07:01] <rammsteined> vox754: thanks, although it didn't help :P
[07:01] <tristanmike> orionrobots: thanks orionrobots, LjL, and kitche you guys/girls rock.
[07:01] <tristanmike> I'll wait a few days
[07:01] <orionrobots> No worries.
[07:01] <justin420> anybody know how to unlock the extra pipes and shaders on a bfg geforce 6800 gs oc for edgy?
[07:01] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: nope, it's already at click :-(
[07:02] <vox754> rammsteined: yeah, probably a file won't solve all your problems.
[07:02] <poohma> thanks justin420 :-)
[07:02] <orionrobots> I am not going to update any of my other boxes for a week or so after this mess... At least a few other shave NV cards, and 3D apps we need..
[07:02] <jrib> PwcrLinux: hmm ok I thought it might be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/14911 but maybe not.  Lets try the workaround anyway, close all your firefox windows, then run this command: XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox
[07:02] <justin420> poohma: no problem :)
[07:02] <rammsteined> vox754: it's odd, because its complaining about not having permissions to the file, but I've checked, and it does :(
[07:02] <lupine_85> justin420: -> V \. + Kick ;)
[07:02] <Hoosteen> hiyas...when the topic says the security repository is overloaded, would that be th reason why i can't install any updates?
[07:02] <orionrobots> YEs hoosteen
[07:02] <facugaich> are you all talking about the new -28- kernel? For some reason it's not being sellected by apt-get upgrade
[07:02] <Hoosteen> cool..thanks orionrobots!
[07:02] <PwcrLinux> Dr_willis: does your ff quits unexpectable after you installed FP 9?
[07:03] <orionrobots> Hoosteen - if you have an ATI or NV card - you dont want the updates now anyway.
[07:03] <Zaggynl> security.ubuntu.com is down/slow?
[07:03] <Hoosteen> just making sure i didn't screw something up..rofl
[07:03] <justin420> :/
[07:03] <Danielv> help, im installing ubuntu 6.10 on server adm64 , but say kernel panic -not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1), i need help
[07:03] <LjL> Zaggynl: reports seem to imply that.
[07:03] <Hoosteen> orionrobots: eek! yeah..ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
[07:03] <Zaggynl> arf
[07:03] <lupine_85> there's an -18 kernel?
[07:03] <ubuntu> lupine_85: 5 to 10 gigs that is with the home folder included or considring a home folder being a separate partition ?
[07:03] <alanhaggai> Root is having sound. But sound is not working in users.
[07:03] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: If it helps at all, the titlebar stays gray until I click on the tilebar, which then causes the color to change, and the window to come to the front.
[07:03] <alanhaggai> Root is having sound. But sound is not working in users. Any help?
[07:03] <lupine_85> ubuntu: with a separate /home
[07:03] <jrib> alanhaggai: are they in the "audio" group?
[07:03] <rammsteined> can anyone help me with this error when I login? "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users."
[07:03] <jahid> can anyone tell me how can i install yahoo messenger?
[07:03] <alanhaggai> jrib: how to check?
[07:03] <vox754> rammsteined: in my system it has rw only for the owner, which is your user name, it is also in your group, and the group and others have no permissions at all.
[07:04] <jrib> alanhaggai: this command:  groups USERNAME_HERE
[07:04] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: I'm experimenting...
[07:04] <orionrobots> Hoosteen - don't get updates then - they will hose your X - and you will have to use the non 3d drivers.
[07:04] <facugaich> lupine_85, I meant 2.x.15-28 (don't remember the x)
[07:04] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: thanks.
[07:04] <ubuntu> lupine_85: do you recommedn a separate partition for home or put everything one one partition onlcuding / and home ?
[07:04] <alanhaggai> ok jrib
[07:04] <Hoosteen> orionrobots: eek!  thanks for the heads up..any idea when that issue will be resolved?
[07:04] <rammsteined> vox754: same for me
[07:04] <orionrobots> Hoosteen - I would love to know that myself.
[07:04] <Hoosteen> jahid: you can setup your Yahoo acct within Gaim
[07:04] <alanhaggai> jrib: audio group is not shown.
[07:05] <xtknight> hmm i used magic sys rq key to remount all my drives as RO (emergency freeze).  how do i get them back to rw ;)
[07:05] <Hoosteen> orionrobots: hehe..i hear ya...i'll stick around in here then...hehe
[07:05] <erisco> where are fonts located on Ubuntu 6.10?
[07:05] <jahid> Hoosteen, i dont want use gaim
[07:05] <jrib> alanhaggai: alternatively, you can use  system > administration > users and groups, select the user, and verify that the use can use audio devices.  You can also use this gui to add the users to that group.  If you prefer command line, you would add the user to the audio group with:  sudo adduser USERNAME_HERE audio
[07:05] <quaal> has anyone successfully mounted an existing raid-0 partition in ubuntu ?
[07:05] <vox754> erisco: type "locate font"
[07:05] <kitche> erisco: ~/.fonts is one spot where you should put fonts yourself unless you want them system wide
[07:05] <jahid> is there any software that can convert image from one format to another?
[07:05] <Hoosteen> jahid; ahh..well i dunno then...just been using linux like 1 week..hehe
[07:05] <jrib> jahid: imagemagick's  convert
[07:05] <jahid> Hoosteen, no worries. and thanks
[07:05] <orionrobots> Yes jahid. There is a command line  Convert in Imagemagick.
[07:06] <alanhaggai> jrib: Thanks a lot for that info :)
[07:06] <Pelo> jahid,  you should be able to do that in gimp
[07:06] <Mandrill> trying to mount an ntfs drive with fuse/ntfstmount and I get the message "windows did not shut down properly Try to mount volume in windows, shutdown and try again' the only problem with that being that I don't have windows running on the machine that the drive is in. Is there any way round this?
[07:06] <orionrobots> Yes gimp will do it.
[07:06] <redeeman> how would i get a replacement /usr/lib/apt/methods/http file? apparently it's gone
[07:06] <redeeman> ubuntu edgy, x86
[07:07] <orionrobots> Gone? How?
[07:07] <jrib> redeeman: maybe you can reinstall "apt", that's the pacakge that owns it
[07:07] <redeeman> i tried that
[07:07] <redeeman> by finding version of apt i had, and getting from mirrors and dpkg -i it
[07:07] <spankiez> any wine gurus around here?  I'm running Kubuntu 6.10, and I can't get notepad to run.  Here's what I get:
[07:07] <spankiez> $ notepad
[07:07] <spankiez> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[07:07] <jrib> redeeman: how about reinstalling?
[07:07] <spankiez> then the app comes up, and it's blank/frozen
[07:08] <py__> what is the command to switch to su in Ubuntu? (not sudo)... is it su -[something] ?
[07:08] <py__> e.g., live CD
[07:08] <jrib> py__: what does "switch to su" mean?
[07:08] <orionrobots> py__ - use sudo -s
[07:08] <orionrobots> if you want a root shell.
[07:08] <py__> orionrobots: thanks
[07:08] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: Sorry, I haven't found anything new.
[07:08] <orionrobots> redeeman - reinstalling would be extreme.
[07:09] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: alright, well...thanks anyway
[07:09] <cypherdelic_> help i cant print. usb: brother mfc210c printconf-bash: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5099/
[07:09] <jrib> redeeman: I mean reinstalling "apt", not your system by the way :0
[07:09] <orionrobots> Have you checked which package it should actually belong to. I know apt seems obvious but that does not make it so..
[07:09] <PwcrLinux> jrib: seem works, try testing on websites for now
[07:09] <jahid> is there any pdf writer for ubuntu?
[07:09] <EnsignRedshirt> Megaqwerty: You might also try asking in #gnome (but I don't know how closely gnome and metacity are linked, so I don't know if they would consider the question off topic).
[07:09] <spankiez> openoffice
[07:09] <vox754> spankiez: why to use notepad? I had the same problem of 3D, and it seems a driver issue; you can't do much about it.
[07:09] <orionrobots> Sure - OpenOffice
[07:09] <cypherdelic_> help i cant print. usb: brother mfc210c printconf-bash: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5099/
[07:09] <jrib> jahid: openoffice can export to pdf
[07:09] <Megaqwerty> EnsignRedshirt: thanks
[07:10] <jvai> jahid, the pdf writers r in all open offfice apps, natively
[07:10] <cypherdelic_> Cant detect printer on usb: brother mfc210c printconf-bash: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5099/
[07:10] <PwcrLinux> jrib: aha, CPU spikes at 100, I guess the ads too much run CPU up
[07:10] <orionrobots> Cypherdelic_ - lsusb?
[07:10] <P235> hi, can someone help make sense of the recent notice of the kernel upgrade?
[07:11] <P235> <--- newbie here
[07:11] <jrib> PwcrLinux: yeah, flash sucks
[07:11] <orionrobots> P235 - I would leave it for a week if you have not yet done it.
[07:11] <spankiez> vox754: because if notepad won't run, then my wine mustn't be configured correctly.  I'm using the 'notepad' that comes with Wine (not Win's version)
[07:11] <Pelo> P235,  what was the notice ?
[07:11] <P235> let me see if I can paste it for you
[07:11] <cbrock> what would be better to upgrade to as a desktop OS, Ubuntu or Windows Vista?
[07:11] <orionrobots> The site is at capacity, so updates will be slow.
[07:11] <P235> ATTENTION:
[07:11] <PwcrLinux> Jrib: fan kicked in
[07:11] <P235> Due to an unavoidable ABI change the Ubuntu 6.06 and Ubuntu
[07:11] <P235> 6.10 kernel updates have been given a new version number, which
[07:11] <P235> requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules
[07:11] <P235> you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you
[07:11] <P235> have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the
[07:11] <P235> new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard
[07:11] <P235> kernel metapackages (linux-386, linux-powerpc, linux-amd64-generic), a
[07:11] <P235> standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well
[07:11] <jrib> PwcrLinux: don't paste ehre please
[07:11] <anthony_> Hi guys, I installed scorched3d on ubuntu, when i load it.. all the text in the game is "garbage". anyone with a similar problem?
[07:11] <P235> sorry
[07:12] <orionrobots> P235 - basically if you have an NV or ATI card you will find your X hosed.
[07:12] <Pelo> P235,  is your computer working properly ?
[07:12] <PwcrLinux> jrib: ??
[07:12] <P235> what are third party kernel modules?
[07:12] <jrib> PwcrLinux: wrong name, sorry :)
[07:12] <davin> can I change the filesystem of my usb hdd from NTFS to Ext3 without losing all my files?
[07:12] <Mandrill> cbrock: depends what you want to do, If you want to play the latest games then Vista is your only option. If you're not bothered about games then go for ubuntu.
[07:12] <PwcrLinux> ah
[07:12] <P235> Not really, but I haven't updated my laptop yet
[07:12] <orionrobots> P235 - Basically don't update the kernel if you are using an Nvidia or ATI card and don't need to.
[07:12] <yeniklasor> davin , basicially copy files to local hdd :)
[07:13] <Pelo> P235,  orionrobots 's explanation is as good as it gets
[07:13] <iMilad> Hi guys, i use Amarok for playing audio files and I want to know if there is a way to make it read/write ratings to an specific tag instead of storing it in a database. Anyone?
[07:13] <P235> ah I see
[07:13] <cbrock> cd /window 6
[07:13] <PwcrLinux> P235: you need read up in the topic for paste information
[07:13] <cbrock> err
[07:13] <davin> yeniklasor: I got a auto-backup app but I cant write to NTFS and I want to make it Ext3 but not lose my files already on it
[07:13] <cbrock> sorry
[07:13] <PwcrLinux> !paste
[07:13] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:13] <P235> okay
[07:13] <P235> sorry for my gaff
[07:13] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: According to the message, if you are using the Ubuntu restricted-modules graphics drivers (even nvidia), you should not have a problem.  Are you saying this is not the case?
[07:13] <orionrobots> P235 - It is a normal part of IRC netiquette - don't worry.
[07:14] <ubuntu> Could soemone recommend me how would I go about parittionin my 80gig laptop drive for a new Kubuntu isntallation ?
[07:14] <graabein> quick question: how do i upgrade from breezy to dapper when i don't have ubuntu-desktop meta package
[07:14] <orionrobots> EnsignRedShirt - If you are using the restricted modules, you will have a problem.
[07:14] <orionrobots> The free drivers are okay though.
[07:14] <P235> I have trouble starting my laptop for the first time for the day though
[07:14] <Mandrill> Davin: If you find out let me know cos getting my NTFS partitions working properly is giving me a headache.
[07:14] <jrib> graabein: install ubuntu-desktop then upgrade
[07:14] <pulpficti0n> i'm trying to install ubuntu.. the installed doesn't recognizes my / partition
[07:15] <funkja> I want to have my home directory on a different partition from my installation. I know I will need to change some settings in my fstab options. But I cannot seem to figure out what they should be. Anyone here know? Or is there a better place to go ask?
[07:15] <orionrobots> EnsignRedShirt - But most installations with NVidia or ATI will be using the restricted drivers instead.
[07:15] <pulpficti0n> http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/9107/screenshot1om9.png
[07:15] <pulpficti0n> http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/1736/screenshot2hn0.png
[07:15] <davin> Mandrill: I can read but not write to NTFS, and I want to make it Ext3
[07:15] <pulpficti0n> anyone can help me?
[07:15] <P235> Sometimes it freezes and I have to hit alt-r,s,e,i,u,b-prt src
[07:15] <davin> Mandrill: im not trying to get NTFS write support
[07:15] <graabein> jrib, im on an old laptop, i dont want all that stuff, just a stripped install like now with xfce
[07:15] <jrib> graabein: if you have xubuntu-desktop then the upgrade should work fine
[07:15] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: I am using the restricted modules, and a new version was installed with the upgrade. (But I have not rebooted yet.)
[07:15] <P235> then I try running in recovery mode so it will run a quick fsck check
[07:15] <graabein> jrib, yeah maybe i should check out xubuntu-desktop
[07:15] <davin> Can I safely format my NTFS partition to Ext3 without losing any files?
[07:15] <graabein> thanks, ill try that first
[07:15] <orionrobots> EnsignRedShirt - when you reboot - select the *old* kernel - not the new one.
[07:16] <AMAG> pelo, buy a nicer computer. :)  My desktop boots windows xp of all things in 40 seconds, from power on to desktop.
[07:16] <jvai> ok ppl. bbac later
[07:16] <pulpficti0n> "nenhum sistema de arquivos raiz" means "no root system found" -- but i do have one partition selected to "/"
[07:16] <orionrobots> EnsignRedShirt - or alternatively edit your Xorg.conf to use the free driver..
[07:16] <davin> someone?
[07:16] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: Even if I never installed the nvidia driver "by hand", and only installed it via the Ubuntu restricted module?
[07:16] <Pelo> AMAG,  that wasn'T my point,  but my computer does boot pretty fast in ubu
[07:17] <philip> davin, when you format a drive/partition, everything is lost
[07:17] <pulpficti0n> anyone???
[07:17] <pulpficti0n> i'm trying to install ubuntu.. the installed doesn't recognizes my / partition
[07:17] <superkirbyartist> How can I access the Internet from Ubuntu server?
[07:17] <orionrobots> EnsignRedShirt - Yes. Even then. I installed mine via the restricted module too.
[07:17] <AMAG> I think you missed your own point.  More money = faster computer.
[07:17] <pulpficti0n> http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/9107/screenshot1om9.png
[07:17] <pulpficti0n> http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/1736/screenshot2hn0.png
[07:17] <pulpficti0n> "nenhum sistema de arquivos raiz" means "no root system found" -- but i do have one partition selected to "/"
[07:17] <orionrobots> pulpficti0n - I am looking at your screenies now.
[07:17] <P235> Does anyone know what I can do to keep my laptop from being so difficult to start?
[07:17] <pulpficti0n> thanks orion2012
[07:17] <pulpficti0n> i mean orionrobots
[07:17] <davin> phillip: Well I know that but I remember that you can actually change the FS without formatting
[07:17] <orionrobots> P236 - How is it difficult to start?
[07:17] <gkm> selam
[07:17] <ubuntu> Could soemone recommend me how would I go about parittionin my 80gig laptop drive for a new Kubuntu isntallation ?
[07:18] <Mandrill> davin: same here I can rerad but not write, and all the available options (fuse, ntfs-3g) for getting ntfs writable aren't working. If I could convert it without losing any data and still have it readbale by windows (over a network) that'd make my day.
[07:18] <Pelo> too late pulpficti0n , he won'T help you now you've insulted him
[07:18] <gkm> trk varm varsa biey sorcam
[07:18] <pulpficti0n> heh
[07:18] <P235> The first boot of the day is usually the hardest because it typically freezes after the the splashscreen
[07:18] <davin> Mandrill: heck im gonna format it hold on
[07:18] <graabein> jrib, installing xubuntu-desktop now... but will it be complete when security repos are down???
[07:18] <orionrobots> Pelo: Dont worry I am not quite so sensitive.. Stiff upper lip and all that..
[07:18] <Mandrill> davin: don't!!!
[07:18] <jrib> graabein: probably best to wait, but it might work
[07:18] <philip> davin, well you can resize your partitions without issues
[07:18] <Mandrill> have you tried partition magic?
[07:18] <davin> Mandrill: nah ive transfered to my PC
[07:18] <philip> davin, but you cannot just change partition types
[07:19] <P235> ctrl alt backspace and ctrl alt fx don't work so I can only alt-r,s,e,i,u,b-prt scr
[07:19] <graabein> jrib, ooops already started. hope i can complete it later. hopefully it wont break my system
[07:19] <anton> Ive got a noob question: how can I see my (windows) network from Xubuntu?
[07:19] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: Well, I going to reboot and see what happens.  I'll be back.
[07:19] <jrib> graabein: no, it won't
[07:19] <Pelo> orionrobots, with an attitude like that you might give linux-1337 helpers a good reputation, watch it
[07:19] <EnsignRedshirt> ...maybe
[07:19] <davin> Mandrill: its busy now
[07:19] <philip> anton, look up SAMBA
[07:19] <ody42> woohooo just install feisty
[07:19] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, see?
[07:19] <philip> !samba anton
[07:20] <ubotu> samba: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 2836 kB, installed size 7200 kB
[07:20] <P235> I run fsck, but nothing is wrong with the file system
[07:20] <PwcrLinux> jrib: S-Fault
[07:20] <Grum> would anyone be able to help me find the edgy perl-source package ? :)
[07:20] <orionrobots> Pelo: Not a leet myself.. Just a dude trying to help out - as I want to be helped myself sometimes. Pulp- hold on - looking.
[07:20] <pulpficti0n> ok
[07:20] <pulpficti0n> just for the record, i usually install ubuntu with no problems
[07:20] <PwcrLinux> jrib: Should I reinstall the FF?
[07:21] <orionrobots> I see it pulp - hdb7 - logical ext3..
[07:21] <pulpficti0n> just this time i partitioned everything myself instead of the auto partition and it's giving me that
[07:21] <jrib> PwcrLinux: probably won't matter
[07:21] <ubuntu_> Could soemone recommend me how would I go about parittionin my 80gig laptop drive for a new Kubuntu isntallation ?
[07:21] <Pelo> P235,  when you say first boot of the day, do you mean your computer was turned off at night ? and if so ,  did you "Exit" the OS porperly or did you just turn off the comp ?
[07:21] <PwcrLinux> jrib: Segmentation fault
[07:21] <ubuntu_> how much for / and how much for home ?
[07:21] <davin> Mandrill: done lets see
[07:21] <Grum> ubuntu_: why not have ubuntu pick the default settings?
[07:21] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, what? it must be primary?
[07:21] <Pelo> ubuntu_, why not let the installation do it ?
[07:21] <jrib> PwcrLinux: did it play *any* flash this time?
[07:22] <orionrobots> Pulp - Dunno just looking.
[07:22] <pulpficti0n> ok :)
[07:22] <cypherdelic_> Cant detect printer on usb: brother mfc210c printconf-bash: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5099/
[07:22] <ubuntu_> Grum: Pelo:  isn't it better to have a separate /home parittion ?
[07:22] <davin> Mandrill: everything gone, not a problem for me, but formatting it does lose all files
[07:22] <PwcrLinux> jrib: I went to Yahoo webmail, then poofed
[07:22] <Grum> ubuntu_: why would it be?
[07:22] <orionrobots> Grub -you probably want to do sudo apt-get source -b perl.
[07:22] <Pelo> ubuntu_,  if you plan to resinatll a lot it might be helpfull but it isn'T mandatory
[07:22] <jrib> PwcrLinux: how about badgerbadgerbadger.com  (make sure you use the command from before after closing all firefox again)
[07:22] <davin> btw whats the purpose of the lost+found folder on a freshly formatted Ext3 partition?
[07:22] <ubuntu_> Grum: I am not sure I am a noob
[07:22] <Grum> orionrobots: thanks
[07:23] <orionrobots> You also will need build deps for it.
[07:23] <orionrobots> sudo apt-get build-dep perl
[07:23] <Grum> orionrobots: hmm i just want to have the source
[07:23] <Hoosteen> ok peeps..i need to install java but the file is in bin format..how do i install that?
[07:23] <Grum> i dont want to install it
[07:23] <orionrobots> Ok
[07:23] <Hoosteen> i'm so new...lol...
[07:23] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: I'm back, and I had no problems.
[07:23] <Grum> i need to check something, i think ubuntu made change to Data::Dumper which introduces segfaults on 64bit boxes
[07:23] <orionrobots> EnsignRedShirt - what card do you have there?
[07:23] <Pelo> ubuntu_,  you could make a 20 gig part for install and a 60 gig part where you will put your /home/ folder, and let ubu pick the settings on the 20 gig one
[07:23] <davin> Hoosteen: first make it executable with 'sudo chmod +x /path/to/the/java.bin'
[07:23] <PwcrLinux> jrib: I am on breezy ubuntu
[07:23] <orionrobots> Pulp - I am still not sure what is wrong with it.
[07:23] <davin> Hoosteen: then run it by 'sudo ./java.bin'
[07:23] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: Nvidia 5600 something-or-other
[07:24] <Hoosteen> davin: ahhh...ok...this is all foreign to me...lol
[07:24] <davin> Hoosteen: or 'sh java.bin;'
[07:24] <Pelo> Hoosteen, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[07:24] <P235> my laptop froze, sorry
[07:24] <Grum> orionrobots: so, how can i get my hands on the source package :D
[07:24] <davin> Hoosteen hehe no problem
[07:24] <Mandrill> Davin: I thought it might.
[07:24] <ubuntu_> Pelo: I am a noob so I am not sure whic is better a separate /home pariton or not ?
[07:24] <orionrobots> Grum - the "apt-get source" should get it..
[07:24] <davin> Mandrill well I did it once but forgot how lol
[07:24] <anton> what is the 'KILL' command in Xubuntu?
[07:24] <Grum> what does -b ?
[07:24] <Grum> build it ?:)
[07:24] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, yeah, that's what i figured.. it should work ok, i did what it's saying to me
[07:25] <orionrobots> Oh - yeah. Take out the -b.
[07:25] <Grum> ah k :)
[07:25] <Grum> thanks
[07:25] <Pelo> ubuntu_, if you are a true noob, you will let the installation prog take care of it
[07:25] <orionrobots> Pelo - good call there.
[07:25] <Hoosteen> davin: most excellent...thanks again!
[07:25] <P235> Any suggestions as to how to deal with my first boot of the day problem?
[07:25] <orionrobots> Pelo - My way is to use LVM, and sort it out later if I need more..
[07:25] <yeniklasor> oh When you say my laptop froze I remember 1 thing, How can I kill a program without crtl+alt+backspace, Is there anyway to Windows' task manager
[07:25] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: More precisely: nVidia GeForce FX 5600
[07:25] <gumpish> blarg... anyone here have a link to instructions on building and installing the xf86-video-intel driver?
[07:25] <vox754> Whenever I type "find /boot/grub/stage1" on the grub prompt I get "Error 15: file not found". However, I CAN BOOT, I have no problems. It's just that if I reinstall XP again, I think I may not be able to reinstall GRUB. Any opinions?.
[07:26] <PwcrLinux> jrib: I found the about:config string looks like whacked up in network.IDN.blacklist_chars
[07:26] <davin> Hoosteen: youre welcome friend, a .bin is a script file, though most software doesnt come in those formats
[07:26] <orionrobots> Interesting - with the new kernel and a reboot you had no issues?
[07:26] <Sanne> hi
[07:26] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: Correct.
[07:26] <orionrobots> I ended up with X failing to start and had to edit in NV.
[07:26] <HP_Vue> What other desktop managers besides gnome and KDE?
[07:26] <Hoosteen> davin: ok..so yeah..that's why i'm having problems then...lol...i'm learning slowly...hehe
[07:26] <pirate-king> how do you delete a the latest kernel
[07:26] <ubuntu_> Pelo: I wouldn' say that I am a true noob :-) How about creating just a / with home folder in it and maybe creating a separate partition for docuemnts and downlaods?
[07:26] <davin> Hoosteen: Everyone started somewhere, dont worry about it ;-)
[07:26] <Hoosteen> davin: hehe..true!
[07:27] <Pelo> HP_Vue,  search for kde on wikipedia and you should have a list of comparison of desktop managers in a link on that page
[07:27] <orionrobots> HP_Vue - look up XUbuntu for a lighter one.
[07:27] <Pelo> ubuntu_,  you could make a 20 gig part for install and a 60 gig part where you will put your /home/ folder, and let ubu pick the settings on the 20 gig one
[07:27] <EnsignRedshirt> orionrobots: I am running dapper, if that matters.
[07:27] <orionrobots> EnsignRedShirt - Not sure about that.
[07:27] <adrian_> anybady works beryl on Radeon x550 ??
[07:27] <ubuntu_> Pelo: what do you choose for yoru isntallation ?
[07:28] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, so... should i just give up?
[07:28] <chris^> Hi
[07:28] <orionrobots> Does anyone else have any ideas about PulpFicti0ns prob - I cant see anything immediate yet..
[07:28] <MrMaDSeN> hey.. i need serious help!
[07:28] <orionrobots> Hmmm..
[07:28] <yeniklasor>  How can I kill a program without losing.   Dont ask to ask - just ask.
[07:28] <Pelo> ubuntu_, I let the install do the job
[07:28] <adrian_> killall
[07:28] <ubuntu_> yeniklasor: sudi kill pid              where pid is the proccess id, look in your system manager for running proccesses
[07:28] <quaal> has anyone successfully mounted an existing raid-0 partition in ubuntu ?
[07:29] <yeniklasor> ok thanks
[07:29] <soundray> chris^: that kind of language gets you kicked here.
[07:29] <LjL> !language | chris^
[07:29] <ubotu> chris^: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:29] <orionrobots> yeniklasor :or you can use pkill with a process name.
[07:29] <MrMaDSeN> I have problems with xterm to show certain letters (danish charset)
[07:29] <ubuntu_> Pelo: One thing I do not liek is that default install makes a 3 gig swap parititon for my 2 gigs of ram which is way too much. Can I maybe do the automatic isntall but first create a separate swap parition at the end of the hard drive with say 1 gig of space ?
[07:29] <adrian_> anybady works beryl on Radeon x550 ??
[07:30] <Luke> when I run aptitude (or any ncurses program) in my framebuffer, the special characters (which are used to creatve the boxes) show up as screwed up 'a's. anyone know how to fix this?
[07:30] <Pelo> ubuntu_,  you seem to know what you want to do so use, so do it
[07:30] <orionrobots> PulpFiction - is it moaning because you didnt tick the reformat box?
[07:30] <Hoosteen> davin: yay! it worked...haha
[07:31] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, it automatically ticks the swap partition.. didn't work
[07:31] <ubuntu_> Pelo: should swap be a primary or an extanded ?
[07:31] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, i also tried with all ext/swap checked and unchecked.. didn't work
[07:31] <jrib> PwcrLinux: like what?
[07:31] <soundray> ubuntu_: primary or logical, doesn't matter
[07:31] <pulpficti0n> ubuntu_, swap should be swap
[07:31] <jnex26> good evening
[07:31] <Pelo> ubuntu_,  let me check mine
[07:32] <jief-> hello. I'm trying to get dhclient to update my hostname on a Windows 2003 DNS server. But it doesnt work. Anyone managed to do this?
[07:32] <orionrobots> pulpficti0n - I don't read spanish(is it?) but I can see the "/" selected..
[07:32] <DigitalNinja> Do I need to do a reboot if I do an update and get "linux-server"? I'm running an Ubuntu Dapper server.
[07:32] <Pelo> ubuntu_,  the linux-swap partition is contained within and extended partition
[07:32] <PwcrLinux> jrib: I tested on badgerbadgerbadger site, the CPU spikes at 100 and very slow animations, xchat slow and many other slow
[07:32] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, portuguese.. yeah, it's moaning saying i don't have a "/" selected, but i surely do
[07:32] <Luke> when I run aptitude (or any ncurses program) in my framebuffer, the special characters (which are used to creatve the boxes) show up as screwed up 'a's. anyone know how to fix this?
[07:32] <jrib> PwcrLinux: but does the flash play without your browser crashing?
[07:32] <vox754> ubuntu_: it doesn't matter. It needs to be a partition (primary or logical inside an extended) or it can also be file
[07:32] <jnex26> i have a problem can anyone help me, my network speed is about a 1/3 of normal in the system monitor my connection is full of peaks and troughs can anyone help
[07:33] <Hoosteen> davin: ok question..now...how do i get firefox to realize the plugin is there...lol
[07:33] <PwcrLinux> jrib: none,  just very high CPU spikes
[07:33] <orionrobots> What does "Frente" translate as - Finish/Next?
[07:33] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, next
[07:33] <jrib> PwcrLinux: what kind of specs are on the box?
[07:34] <PwcrLinux> jrib: also I found the about:config string looks like whacked up in network.IDN.blacklist_chars
[07:34] <orionrobots> pulpficti0n - Maybe it has not updated the alerts from entering the page.
[07:34] <orionrobots> What do you get if you click next anyway?
[07:34] <jnex26> can anyone help ?
[07:34] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, nope.. that alert appeared after i clicked next
[07:34] <orionrobots> jnex26 - Is this after the new update - or some other event?
[07:35] <EnsignRedshirt> PwcrLinux: Oh gee, thanks.   What should I do?
[07:35] <orionrobots> s/shoy/shot/
[07:35] <orionrobots> tobias_ - that will be the new kernel.
[07:35] <soundray> jnex26: what makes you think the problem is on your side?
[07:35] <PwcrLinux> Jrib: Sony Vaio lappy 2 Ghz 768 MB ram, 32 MB Vram ATI Mobility Radon
[07:35] <orionrobots> Either select the old one when you reboot, or edit the Xorg.conf to use the free driver.
[07:35] <tobias_> orionrobots, all very well but what can I do about it
[07:35] <Hoosteen> ok..anybody?
[07:36] <pulpficti0n> orionrobots, it could be a bug, but i doubt it.. i mean, how long this 6.1 have been out?
[07:36] <jnex26> well I only install ubuntu a week or so ago and it's never been very fast
[07:36] <orionrobots> tobias_ Either select the old one when you reboot, or edit the Xorg.conf to use the free driver.
[07:36] <vox754> tobias_: the kernel updates are messing nVidia and ATI, don't update, and tell your friends.
[07:36] <tobias_> vox754, evil has has happened already, how do I fix it?
[07:36] <jrib> PwcrLinux: did you setup the drivers for your video card?
[07:36] <tobias_> orionrobots, how can I select an old kernel when booting?
[07:36] <r_rehashed> what's the difference between gcjwebplugin and gcjwebplugin-4.1?
[07:36] <orionrobots> tobias_ Do you not get a breif boot menu?
[07:37] <PwcrLinux> Jrib: already installed in the first installation of linux.. it's work just fine..
[07:37] <tobias_> orionrobots, not at all just the spash window of starting up
[07:37] <redeeman> Pelo: ahh thanks
[07:37] <orionrobots> tobias_ There is an alternative - are you using any 3D stuff?
[07:37] <coshx> tobias_: you have about 3 seconds to press esc when booting to see the grub menu.
[07:37] <tobias_> orionrobots, as in xgl/compiz?
[07:37] <warkruid> quick question: What was the name of the new graphical package manager under Ubuntu? I seem to have lost it from my applications menu and I _really_ would like it back
[07:37] <soundray> vox754: do you know if this kernel/binary drivers problem has been reported?
[07:37] <jrib> warkruid: synaptic
[07:37] <jnex26> brb going to old kernal see what difference that makes
[07:37] <orionrobots> tobias_ Go with coshx - that is a better one to use for now..
[07:37] <warkruid> tnx
[07:37] <tobias_> coshx, I cant recall I have got grub but I'll see
[07:38] <tobias_> ok I will try thank you
[07:38] <EnsignRedshirt> warkruid: Do you mean Update Manager?   Synaptic isn't really "new".
[07:38] <tobias_> be right back
[07:38] <jrib> PwcrLinux: I don't know why it's slow then
[07:38] <vox754> tobias_: some people say the problem is already fixed, but I say not. They say it is NOT the kernel's problem but the "unofficial modules" which need also to be updated. I can't tell you specifics since I don't own ATI or nVidia.
[07:38] <warkruid> EnsignRedshirt: Synaptic was what i was looking for.
[07:38] <PwcrLinux> Jrib: prolly kernel upgraded could be culpirt
[07:38] <orionrobots> coshx - Hmm it must be because i use alternative that I always see the gruib menu for 5 seconds.
[07:39] <EnsignRedshirt> warkruid: OK (that's what I usually use)
[07:39] <cables> orionrobots, you want to disable the Grub menu delay?
[07:39] <vox754> soundray: visit the forums for more info. Yes, the problem started February 6.
[07:39] <orionrobots> Vox754 - I agree it is not fixed.
[07:39] <orionrobots> Cables - no. Not today anyway ;)
[07:39] <coshx> vox754: is this the issue with the recent update breaking the nvidia module? (also broke my wireless module)
[07:39] <PwcrLinux> this is last updated
[07:39] <cables> orionrobots, you've updated menu.lst? If you have, I'll leave you alone. :)
[07:39] <warkruid> EnsignRedshirt: Messed up my menu's, :-( so I "lost" it
[07:39] <orionrobots> Cables - If it really bugged me - I would have disabled it by now..
[07:39] <Hoosteen> can anybody help me?
[07:40] <justin420> no
[07:40] <cables> orionrobots, ok... I'll just give you a hint for when it starts bugging you: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:40] <orionrobots> Cool - thanks.
[07:40] <cables> Hoosteen, what's the problem?
[07:40] <Hoosteen> i just installed the java runtime library but firefox doesn't notice it's there.....
[07:40] <orionrobots> At least grub is friendlier than lilo was.
[07:40] <vitalstatistix> anyone here with a sony vaio laptop?
[07:40] <vox754> coshx: yes, you bet. Too bad. I visit the forums before clicking on updates. Tell your friends.
[07:40] <PwcrLinux> I am
[07:40] <quaal> what program in ubuntu will run aim, yahoo, msn, trillian accounts?
[07:40] <Hoosteen> quaal: gaim
[07:40] <tristanmike> quaal: gaim
[07:40] <clearzen> How can you convert  bin/cue files into .iso or .avi?
[07:40] <orionrobots> Anyone know anything about firefox being annoyingly slow - recently it has been behaving badly.
[07:40] <cables> quaal, Gaim... but what's a Trillian account?
[07:41] <cables> orionrobots, any new extensions?
[07:41] <coshx> vox754: well, i just tried installing linux-generic -- i wonder why the updater didn't do that? hopefully this'll fix it.
[07:41] <quaal> oh cool.. thought it was just a im
[07:41] <EnsignRedshirt> vox754: I just want to point out that, for some people, anyway, the updates of linux-restricted-modules worked with no problems.
[07:41] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: yep, I have same thing..
[07:41] <GMWeezel> My computer is only able to play one sound application at a time.
[07:41] <vox754> Whenever I type "find /boot/grub/stage1" on the grub prompt I get "Error 15: file not found". However, I CAN BOOT, I have no problems. It's just that if I reinstall XP again, I think I may not be able to reinstall GRUB. Any opinions?
[07:41] <quaal> cables, i totally meant to say icq
[07:41] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: does your system spikes CPU at 100?
[07:41] <quaal> cables, was just thinking about trillian
[07:41] <GMWeezel> The sound card is ALC861 HD from Realtek
[07:41] <cables> quaal, Gaim will work
[07:41] <orionrobots> pwrclinux yes
[07:41] <vox754> coshx: if it works, let people know
[07:41] <coshx> will do.
[07:41] <orionrobots> cables - firebug, noscript, adblock, streetmap, GTDGmail (this happens when not on gmail) and Flashgot.
[07:41] <gkm_> #suse.tr
[07:42] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: I do same thing as yours
[07:42] <cables> Hoosteen, sudo update-alternatives --config java
[07:42] <orionrobots> Hmm - I wander if it is flash?
[07:42] <cables> Hoosteen, then select the runtime you installed
[07:42] <PwcrLinux> Video choppy
[07:42] <PwcrLinux> and slow and etc
[07:42] <vox754> EnsignRedshirt: good luck. Keep reading to see if you have some solution people need.
[07:42] <Data_> hi, does anybody knows ngrab under linux?
[07:42] <clearzen> What can I use to convert .bin .cue files?
[07:42] <soundray> vox754: try the find without the leading slash
[07:42] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: yep, FF quits unexpectably
[07:42] <tobias_> orionrobots, I am back and up with my lovely graphical enviroment. How can I make it so that I do not have to spam ESC when booting, and how do I prevent such problems in the future?
[07:42] <orionrobots> cables, pwcrlinux - Could it be flash 9 doing it - even on non flashed sites?
[07:43] <cables> orionrobots, try running "firefox -safe-mode" and seeing if it runs any faster
[07:43] <orionrobots> Cables - thanks..
[07:43] <Hoosteen> cables: hmm..that didn't work says there is nothing to configure
[07:43] <soundray> vox754: thanks, I found the forums post, but it seems that, strangely, I am not affected
[07:43] <cables> Hoosteen, how did you install the runtime?
[07:43] <orionrobots> tobias_ Cables mentioned just now about editing the grub menu..
[07:43] <Hoosteen> cables: i took the bin and chmod it and then ran sudo ./java.bin
[07:43] <orionrobots> Cables - it was /boot/grub/menu.lst was it not - and I suspect you can set the default booting kernel there?
[07:44] <cables> tobias_, you want to have the grub menu show up every time you boot up?
[07:44] <cables> orionrobots, yep
[07:44] <amonbish> Hi
[07:44] <Pntkl> sup
[07:44] <orionrobots> Pwcrlinux - I do not have it quit - just the 100% lockup.
[07:44] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: go open FF and type about:config  and look for "network.IDN.blacklist_chars" if you see the string garbled on it?
[07:44] <EnsignRedshirt>  vox754: I doubt I could contribute to a solution; this morning's upgrade "just worked" for me.
[07:44] <cables> orionrobots, just back it up first...
[07:44] <tobias_> cables, no not really, I want it to select my old kernel everytime because my new one messes nVidia up
[07:44] <orionrobots> Cables - good plan.
[07:44] <tobias_> cables, but if not possible, showing would be a good temporary solution
[07:44] <cables> tobias_, have you installed the "linux-restricted-modules" package for your new kernel?
[07:44] <DigitalNinja> Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu server updates the kernel? I've seen linux-server in the updates but I'm still on the same kernel (I think)
[07:44] <tobias_> cables, I think so let me check
[07:45] <cables> tobias_, better to fix the real problem than work around it

[07:45] <orionrobots> PwcrLinux - yes I have garbled characters there alright.
[07:45] <cables> Hoosteen, why didn't you install with APT?
[07:45] <vox754> soundray: no good with "find". It is really a strange problem; I'm holding my XP reinstallation because of it.
[07:45] <cables> tobias_, what kernel do you have installed?
[07:45] <amonbish> tell me
[07:46] <Hoosteen> cables: erm..i dunno..i tried to go to a webpage that needed java, it pointed me to the bin file...so i did it that way :)
[07:46] <cables> Hoosteen, bad idea...
[07:46] <tobias_> cables, "uname -r" results in "2.6.17-10-386" but I think I have got a newer one under my grub
[07:46] <jnex26> hi again, I have loaded into the previous kernal and the problem still exist
[07:46] <orionrobots> Hoosteen - fire up synaptic, look for java..
[07:46] <vox754> EnsignRedshirt: still you could mention which drivers, modules you have, how did you installed them, compile them. Every bit of info is useful.
[07:46] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: okay, after installed the player.. they've might have incorrectly written a codes by adobe creators..
[07:46] <Hoosteen> cables: uh oh..well..gotta learn sometime...lol
[07:46] <fluffybacon> anyone know what might be causing "kernel panic In interrupt handler -  not syncing"?

[07:46] <orionrobots> PwcrLinux - I wander if we can blitz that "blacklist" then..
[07:47] <Hoosteen> cables waiting for ur magic advice! :)
[07:47] <orionrobots> I presume those are all unicode characters.
[07:47] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: yes some of root squares
[07:47] <cables> Hoosteen, you really shouldn't install from installers. Better to check if it's in the repositories first.
[07:47] <soundray> vox754: clearly, if you can boot, it finds the stage1 when it matters. If you can see /boot/grub/stage1 and friends after booting, you will be okay. Reinstall grub after XP follwing the wiki.
[07:47] <cables> Hoosteen, hold on a minute
[07:47] <orionrobots> PwcrLinux - So what would be the danger in killing those network.IDN keys?

[07:47] <Hoosteen> cables: ok..will do..and will remember that advice!
[07:47] <orionrobots> Do you know what they belong to?
[07:48] <PwcrLinux> orionrobots: not worry about, because the FF can cause crashes or quits unexpectly
[07:48] <moreo1> how can i set up a static ip?
[07:48] <coshx> vox754: aptitude install linux-generic did the trick for me. Now everything's back up. Seems like an update bug that it would update the kernel without updating linux-generic?
[07:48] <DCCExpoliiter> Oh btw you guys have a nice day...
[07:48] <soundray> moreo1: are you  on gnome?
[07:48] <Luke> when I run aptitude (or any ncurses program) in my framebuffer, the special characters (which are used to creatve the boxes) show up as screwed up 'a's. anyone know how to fix this?
[07:48] <moreo1> yes
[07:48] <orionrobots> Hmm - big network split?
[07:49] <EnsignRedshirt> vox754: I am just using linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-28-686.  I didn't compile anything--this is the Ubuntu package.
[07:49] <PwcrLinux> oh boy DCC hacker
[07:49] <eternal_p> good afternoon all...I am wondering with my laptop, is there a command that I can use to identify the model of my LCD screen... I know in windows you can use powerstripe, but what can I use for linux?  thanks!
[07:49] <cypherdelic_> Cant detect printer on usb: brother mfc210c printconf-bash: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5099/
[07:49] <vox754> soundray: yeah. It is strange. My XP is kind of broken, but I'm doing it pretty good right now with Ubuntu. So it would be a shame not to boot Linux.

[07:51] <coshx> chris^: how did you update the kernel?
[07:51] <vox754> EnsignRedshirt: well, good for you. Stay around and tell people if they ask.
[07:51] <coshx> chris^: try booting into the old kernel (esc while grub is loading and select the old one) and run "sudo aptitude install linux-generic" and see if that fixes it.
[07:51] <PwcrLinux> aha, thanks for the topic changes :)
[07:52] <soundray> chris^: that's better :)  What happens when you boot 2.6.17-10 as suggested int the forums?
[07:52] <chris^> coshx: apt-get dist-upgrade, like everytime... the new kernel works great, only wifi is broken (prism2)
[07:52] <kraut> LjL: what's going on?

[07:53] <ubotu> kraut: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit

[07:54] <cypherdelic_> orionrobots, i am IN #ubuntu
[07:54] <soundray> chris^: how is your wifi card connected?
[07:54] <coshx> chris^: what shows up in your kernel log when you try to modprobe the module?
[07:54] <kraut> LjL: ah, thanks. are there issues with iptables, too?
[07:54] <chris^> soundray: minipci in my laptop (ibm t23) and works fine for over one year until today :x
[07:54] <LjL> kraut: uh? what would iptables have to do with this?
[07:55] <orionrobots> cypherdelic_ I realise this. There are other support options if no one here knows. Simply repeating will probably not help you.
[07:55] <gbjk> I can't get ubuntu to run in anything other than 640x480. Xorg.log gives some clues, but I'm unclear on which to follow.
[07:55] <soundray> coshx: have you tried coshx
[07:55] <soundray> sorry
[07:55] <kraut> LjL: you mean routers were effected, my router is a linux box ;)
[07:55] <gbjk> Voodoo 3, P3 500mhz, 128mb ram.
[07:55] <chris^> coshx: the modul is already loaded
[07:55] <LjL> kraut, *some* routers that are stupid enough to mistake one thing for another are affected. your linux box is fine.
[07:55] <gbjk> Xorg.conf hacked to remove frivilous stuff.

[07:56] <cables> Hoosteen, you still there? I was hit by the DCC attack, I'll be back in a few minutes.
[07:56] <vox754> LjL: I just want to say that it looks cool when ChanServ gives you the op, then you do stuff, and the you give it away. I know it is some sort of script, but still, it looks very neat.
[07:56] <coshx> chris^: does iwconfig show you anything useful?
[07:56] <PwcrLinux> Dlink doesn't effects..
[07:56] <kraut> LjL: ah, ok. first time i hear about this exploit.
[07:56] <EnsignRedshirt> vox754: Sorry, I didn't mean to gloat :)  But I wonder, if for some people the upgrade works fine, would it be a bad idea to suggest trying the updated kernel, before suggesting using the old kernel?  If the new one doesn't work, can someone just reboot and select the old kernel?
[07:56] <sYnie> hey there
[07:56] <soundray> coshx: I hit enter at the wrong moment, and the issue has since been cleared up. Sorry about the confusion ;)
[07:56] <tobias_> cables, you asked me what kernel I had, I gave you an answer and I do not want to be rude but if you cant help me further please say so
[07:57] <orionrobots> PwcrLinux - I have zeroed out that crazy key in ff config - I will let you know what happens..
[07:57] <coshx> soundray: oh, i thought it was like some new drug named after me or someting.

[07:57] <PwcrLinux> 113 no where it's better
[07:58] <EnsignRedshirt> superkirbyartist: System -> Admin -> Networking, go to the General tab.
[07:58] <vox754> EnsignRedshirt: using the old kernel seems reasonable; but apparently some people remove it after the update, and then they are stuck.
[07:58] <Mandrill> is there a reference fo command line commands?
[07:58] <rcmiv> what would be my best bet on a wireless card for my toshiba tecra 8100?
[07:58] <superkirbyartist> Thanks a lot, ensignredshirt.
[07:58] <myeatman> Mandrill: try man
[07:58] <orionrobots> Ah - vox754 - I keep 2/3 kernels back around normally. But then I have a lot of free diskspace.
[07:58] <soundray> coshx: not a bad idea. What would it be, though? Painkiller?
[07:59] <EnsignRedshirt> vox754: I see. That's a problem :)
[07:59] <orionrobots> Mandrill - apropos is also handy
[07:59] <sYnie> I am on it to find a good name for a kind of a job community. but im from germany, so i got a question. does "get jobbed" mean something like "get screwed"?

[08:00] <cables> tobias_, Hoosteen, I'm back... you still here?
[08:00] <soundray> Sanne: yes. Be conservative and avoid SATA drives.
[08:00] <tobias_> cables, I am
[08:00] <coshx> Sanne: if you're using the 2.6 kernel you shouldn't have a problem
[08:00] <vox754> orionrobots: You see, at first I had a 16 MB /boot partition just enough for the kernel. Then after an update, I hadn't room for a new one. I ended up reintalling my system with a 64 MB /boot partition, how's that?
[08:00] <vitalstatistix> anyone here familiar with vbetool errors
[08:00] <cables> tobias_, what did you need?
[08:01] <coshx> Sanne: some newegg reviews even say if it'll work under linux (at least when I write reviews i add that as a plus)
[08:01] <Hoosteen> cables: roger..i'm here
[08:01] <tobias_> cables, I was the one with the kernel problem (grub, remember?)

[08:02] <Sanne> soundray, coshx: the one I'm thinking of buying is E-IDE/ATAPI, so I guess I'm set. Thanks you both. And I'm on Dapper, so the kernel should be fine :)
[08:02] <tha_toadman> i'm trying to run ubuntu on a sata but the drive isn't detected...should i be safe and use an IDE drive??
[08:02] <cables> tobias_, ok... do "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" and edit the options for whether the menu should show or not. If you want to re-order your kernels, you can copy/paste them around in the menu list somewhere closer to the bottom of the file. Make sure to back up the file first though.
[08:02] <Pelo> tha_toadman,  check the bios I would think
[08:03] <soundray> tha_toadman: if you have a choice, yes
[08:03] <cables> Hoosteen, did you do "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin"?
[08:03] <Hoosteen> cables: no..i wasn't sure if i needed to remove what i did or not..or how i would even do it
[08:03] <tha_toadman> pelo: i have the bios in 'compatiblity mode' on and it proceeds in the install but when it gets to the drive, nothing works...
[08:03] <kitche> mikey5555: did you install it as a server?
[08:04] <yeniklasor> hi
[08:04] <cables> Hoosteen, that should just overwrite it. Try that, and if that doesn't work, do "sudo aptitude remove sun-java6-plugin" and "sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin" to try version 5.
[08:04] <mikey5555> kitche: yes, it installed as server.
[08:04] <tobias_> cables, I changed the default number to a number referring to the previous kernel
[08:04] <kitche> mikey5555: you have to install X then if you installed it as a server
[08:04] <tha_toadman> i've even used 'achi' and 'ata_piix' modes...which sata drives are suppose to work with but it still dies on the install at that point
[08:04] <tobias_> trying it now
[08:04] <Pelo> tha_toadman,  try this,  open up the comp and unplug the ide drive, leaving only the sata,  see if it gets detected and you can proceed with the install
[08:04] <cables> tobias_, you should probably not do that...
[08:04] <yeniklasor> how can I write this with keyboard "~" :)
[08:05] <Hoosteen> cables: ok cool..one quick questin..what does sudo aptitude do? is it the same as sudo apt-get?
[08:05] <cables> tobias_, join #grub
[08:05] <tobias_> ok
[08:05] <tha_toadman> pelo: i have an ide dvd+r drive (pata) and a WD hard drive (sata)
[08:05] <mikey5555> kitche: is X in the installation, or must i retrieve from somewhere else?
[08:05] <orionrobots> Hmm - cables - I am taking a look at my lst file. Do I just need to move that savedefault marker or do I actually have to reorder their list appearance?
[08:05] <cables> Hoosteen, yes, but it will automatically remove unneeded dependencies when you remove stuff
[08:05] <Hoosteen> cables: ahh...kk
[08:05] <cables> orionrobots, you're trying to use a different kernel by default too?
[08:05] <tha_toadman> pelo: i need the dvd+rw drive to install linux on it
