[15:30] <unop> syscode, ohh ok, you need to reboot into linux and try this then. , assuming eth0 is what you are configuring.  sudo dhclient eth0; ifconfig eth0; route -n
[15:30] <Xavura_> if it had been said would I be here asking still?
[15:30] <Flamelor> oh sry
[15:30] <Xavura_> err no
[15:30] <Flamelor> one moment
[15:30] <ttt--> Xavura_, /usr/share/backgrounds
[15:30] <KenBW2> Xavura_: it's got to be somewhere in your home folder since you dont need root priveliges to change them
[15:30] <Xavura_> backgrounds :S
[15:30] <KenBW2> ttt--: am i wrong?
[15:30] <unop> icewaterman, even now?
[15:30] <syscode> cool. thanks unop
[15:30] <Xavura_> why are they backgrounds on Ubuntu and wallpapers on everything else I can think of
[15:30] <Xavura_> thanks anyway
[15:30] <yousif111> erUSUL: i m not sure what you mean by #bsh. is it an irc channel?
[15:30] <icewaterman> even with -r
[15:31] <unop> yousif111, he meant #bash -- but they'll probably tell you the same thing
[15:31] <yousif111> oh ok
[15:31] <unop> icewaterman, ok, what is contained in the variable?
[15:32] <KenBW2> nixnoob: i installed VB as you suggested, and it's gone: it's not in Applications and "bash: virtualbox-ose: command not found"
[15:32] <icewaterman> unop: contents of /proc/cmdline
[15:32] <unop> icewaterman,  A="foobar"; sed -r 's/.*(oba).*/\1/' <<<$A # should return oba
[15:32] <nixnoob> KenBW2: system tools
[15:32] <icewaterman> i want to extract the root=/dev/ part
[15:32] <KenBW2> nixnoob: not there
[15:33] <unop> icewaterman, and what specifically are you trying to extract?
[15:33] <KenBW2> nixnoob: unless it's hidden...
[15:33] <iSign> Does anyone know what happened to BitchX? It's not in the Ubuntu repositories.
[15:33] <nixnoob> KenBW2: it shouldn't be, did you uninstall the one from the repos first?
[15:33] <planet_x> anyone know if its possible to use vmware workstation to make a virtual operating system of my already installed vista when i am using Ubuntu 8.04? they are on seperate hard drives.. any link to a tutorial or something greatly appreciated
[15:33] <KenBW2> nixnoob: yea but i uninstalled it first
[15:33] <icewaterman> unop: from /proc/cmdline the device from root=/dev/sda7 for example
[15:33] <MolePrince> Hello, using a Linksys USB ethernet adapter I receive flood of "Failed to send software reset" how may I fix this please?
[15:34] <KenBW2> hmmm, it's showing in Edit Menus as "Sun xVM VirtualBox" and is *not* hidden, even though it doesn't show up
[15:34] <Flamelor> i just tried to start a .exe-file using wine, but i got this message:
[15:34] <Flamelor> install the Windows version of MONO to run .NET executables
[15:34] <Flamelor> What to do?
[15:35] <nixnoob> KenBW2: lol i dunno what you did but it should be there under system tools
[15:35] <Test> install mono
[15:35] <unop> icewaterman,  i just tried this    sed -r 's/.*root=(.*) .*/\1/' /proc/cmdline
[15:35] <runemaste644> I need urgent help, my grub menu.lst got deleted for some reason and i cannot boot ubuntu
[15:35] <KenBW2> nixnoob: i ran it using the command in Edit Menus: VirtualBox (capitalised)
[15:35] <Flamelor> Test - thank you - but what in heaven is 'Mono'?
[15:35] <Qhestion> if i want to copy everything except files/dirs in the 'build' directory into build/temp/. how do i do that? "cp -a !(build/*) build/temp" seems not to work...
[15:35] <nixnoob> KenBW2: yea i found that about vbox as well the use the camel case its annoying.
[15:35] <cwillu> well that was cute, my computer just spontaneously did a clean shutdown. :
[15:35] <ShawnP> its the open source version of the .net framework
[15:36] <Flamelor> ok - thank you!
[15:36] <unop> Qhestion, you need to enable extglob for that
[15:36] <evingrano> @Flamelor, DNS tables are filled properly...weird.  I can't even ping the router
[15:36] <icewaterman> unop: that returns everything else but the root= part
[15:37] <Flamelor> evingrano - sry, i have no other suggestion...
[15:37] <ShawnP> should be able to get it from the updater
[15:37] <unop> icewaterman, it shouldn't -- make sure you don't have any aliases or functions for sed that might cause bash to run sed differently
[15:37] <icewaterman> unop: dont have such an alias
[15:37] <evingrano> @Flamelor, np...thanks for the suggestion...banging my head on this one
[15:37] <KenBW2> nixnoob: it's saying i need to be in the vboxusers group. I added myself, but do i need to log out and in again for it to take effect?
[15:38] <unop> icewaterman,  $ sed 's/.*\(root=.*\) .*/\1/' /proc/cmdline # give me root=/dev/mapper/athena-root  , which is intended
[15:38] <twobits> these days when I apt-get packages, i get a strange message.
[15:38] <MolePrince> KenBW2: Yes
[15:38] <KenBW2> MolePrince: eugh :P
[15:38] <twobits> i was wondering if anybody here might know what they mean, or if they are harmful

[15:38] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> Hi: Say that I want to uninstall my GNOME desktop, and install IceWM. Running: [sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop] would take me back to the Ubuntu 8.04 installation (server w.GUI) I have server command line. Could i just then do [sudo aptitude update] followed by [sudo aptitude install icewm]?
[15:38] <unop> icewaterman, note i didn't use -r here
[15:38] <Qhestion> unop: is there no easier / more portable way? what i am *really* trying to do is build a .tgz of the current directory, but all these files and directories should be in a directory "foo" inside of the .tgz
[15:39] <twobits> i don't get it from every package i apt-get, but a few
[15:39] <astroboyf06> Hi all
[15:39] <runemaste644> it gives me a menu with seven options: boot find /menu.lst, boot find /wubi/grub/menu.lst, boot find /grub/menu.lst, boot find /boot/grub/menu.lst, command line , reboot, and halt.
[15:39] <astroboyf06> I wonder if someone could give me a hand with something
[15:39] <runemaste644> When i shut down my computer last, it froze and might have corrupted menu.lst
[15:39] <icewaterman> unop: echo $CMDLINE | sed 's/.*\(root=.*\) .*/\1/'
[15:39] <icewaterman> quiet rw resume=/dev/mapper/swap root=/dev/hda7
[15:40] <icewaterman> now that returns the entire string
[15:40] <icewaterman> which the echo alone would also do
[15:40] <unop> Qhestion,hmm, let me think about this
[15:40] <kociak> a question and request for help: im using asus EEE PC with freshly installed 8.04 - some website recommended wicd instead of network-manager-gnome - so i did sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager-gnome network-manager and network stopped working altogether :( ifconfig displays only loop :/ anyone plz?
[15:40] <astroboyf06> does anyone know why my wireless might not be showing up in the list even though its setup to broadcast?
[15:40] <unop> icewaterman, we're both doing different things, you're working on a variable, i am working on the file directly, one sev
[15:40] <twobits> I've been getting strange messages when apt-getting some packages, and I was wondering if anybody here could shed some light on what they mean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26668/

[15:41] <Carpe|Diem> Hello all...Is there a program available like XDCC catcher for ubuntu? It is a program that searched DCC bots on different networks and supports direct downloading
[15:41] <knittl> Slart: any findings yet?
[15:41] <icewaterman> unop: cant test that on the /proc/cmdline right now, because my cmdline does not contain a root= expression, so the regex will not match
[15:41] <unop> icewaterman, understood ..
[15:41] <Slart> knittl: nope.. but pulseaudio is a weird beast
[15:42] <unop> icewaterman, what is the content of your $CMDLINE var?
[15:42] <knittl> Slart: yup. blocks my network after hibernation
[15:42] <unop> icewaterman, actually, nvm, i got it
[15:42] <runemaste644> please, i need help, this is really urgent
[15:42] <icewaterman> unop: the output
[15:42] <Slart> knittl: would you mind installing the paman and pavucontrol packages? it's utilities for pulseaudio
[15:42] <knittl> Slart: no, i wouldn't
[15:43] <Whitor> Hi, I'm following a guide for setting up a pcmcia curitel wireless evdo card. I was able to follow the guide in Gutsy, but in 8.4 I don't see a /proc/bus/usb/devices file ... which the guide tells me to reference ... where is this file ?
[15:43] <icewaterman> unop: what i posted above is the output of $CMDLINE as if the sed command would do nothing
[15:43] <Slart> knittl: oh.. I almost forgot.. padevchooser too
[15:43] <knittl> Slart: is already installed
[15:43] <Whitor> 8.04*
[15:43] <Slart> knittl: all of them?
[15:43] <knittl> ja
[15:44] <Slart> knittl: so you've got a small icon in the tasktray now?
[15:44] <knittl> after starting the app, yes
[15:45] <Slart> knittl: if you start the volume control applet, do you see vlc there when it's running?
[15:45] <unop> icewaterman, i'm not very proficient at sed .. but this works now but won't work for me as i have extra info after the root= part, if you are trying to build something portable, i suggest you ask in #sed ..
[15:45] <unop> icewaterman,  CMDLINE="quiet rw resume=/dev/mapper/swap root=/dev/hda7"; sed -n 's/.*\(root=.*\)/\1/p' <<<"$CMDLINE"
[15:45] <knittl> volume control applet?

[15:46] <Slart> knittl: it's pavucontrol

[15:47] <MXIIA_> How can I type characters like the alt+### on windows?
[15:47] <Slart> knittl: ok.. try this then "pkill pulseaudio; pulseaudio -D"  then try paman again
[15:48] <knittl> ok, now it's ready
[15:48] <MolePrince> Hello, in hardy heron 2.6.24-19 using a Linksys USB ethernet adapter I receive flood of "Failed to send software reset" how may I fix this please?
[15:48] <Slart> knittl: any difference when it comes to playing sounds?
[15:48] <the_eraser> is there a package for epiphany with webkit engine instead of gecko?
[15:48] <the_eraser> ive searched synaptic didnt find it
[15:49] <ice_cream> Qhestion, are you still trying to copy all files except for some pattern still?
[15:49] <Flamelor> the_eraser: press alt + f2 and type gksu synaptic
[15:49] <Qhestion> ice_cream: yep
[15:49] <knittl> weeehaaa, great. 2 vlc's running is ok again :)
[15:49] <ice_cream> i was just thinking about it.. good problem =P
[15:49] <Slart> knittl: ahh.. and there was much rejoicing =)
[15:49] <icewaterman> unop: thx, this now works perfectly: sed -n 's/.*\(root=\/dev\/[hs]d[a-z][0-9]\{1,2\}\).*/\1/p' <<<"$CMDLINE"
[15:49] <knittl> great, 2vlc's + amarok
[15:49] <the_eraser> Flamelor: sorry, i meant that i have searched in synaptic after the epiphany-webkit package :)
[15:49] <knittl> all up again :)
[15:50] <knittl> thanks a lot Slart
[15:50] <unop> icewaterman, that's ugly :)
[15:50] <Slart> you're welcome, knittl
[15:50] <ice_cream> Qhestion,  /usr/bin/ls --color=none | grep --color=none -v ".r
[15:50] <ice_cream> b" | xargs -n 1 -iHI cp -r HI tmp        -->  this would copy all files and directories except for ones that end in .rb  into a tmp directory
[15:50] <Flamelor> oh, sry
[15:50] <ice_cream> omg worwrap ftl
[15:50] <ice_cream> wordwrap*
[15:50] <unop> ice_cream, never parse the output of ls like that .. it's dangerous
[15:50] <knittl> Slart: but you don't have any idea why PA blocks my network after being in hibernation?
[15:50] <icewaterman> unop: you woudlnt happen to know why i would need .* around the the expression?
[15:51] <unop> ice_cream, you could seriously mangle data with something like there ..
[15:51] <Slart> knittl: no idea.. afaik pa shouldn't affect your network at all
[15:51] <ice_cream> unop, something like what?
[15:51] <Qhestion> ice_cream: thanks
[15:51] <Slart> knittl: but hibernation is still a bit new for linux it seems
[15:51] <unop> ice_cream, use find.   find /path -type f -iname "*.rb" -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t tmp
[15:52] <unop> ice_cream, like the command you just suggested
[15:52] <knittl> Slart: i narrowed my problem down a few days ago. after hibernation, if i put amarok on pause irc/jabber, everything breaks down.
[15:52] <icewaterman> unop: just a hint: -exec from find will save you the xargs
[15:52] <knittl> same with totem/rhythmbox (if they are open and playing network is fine…)
[15:52] <syscode> hiyas
[15:52] <unop> icewaterman, i'm aware
[15:52] <andres_> hola . . . alguien me puede ayudar con un problema de montaje de unidades en ubuntu 8.04 . . .
[15:53] <Shoopuf> Any reason why Ubuntu Wireshark wont recognize my Network interface, but XP Wireshark does?
[15:53] <unop> icewaterman, you need .* around the expression to have that excluded from the captured expression .. as we are using s///  ..
[15:53] <ice_cream> if you two (unop, icewaterman)  knew how to do it, why not answer Qhestion's question earlier?
[15:53] <syscode> unop, just did as you suggested.. how can i paste here large chunks of text without being punished..?
[15:53] <unop> !paste | syscode

[15:54] <|MUSE|> hello, what program would you use to synchronise 2 folders?
[15:54] <unop> ice_cream, because i was helping icewaterman then .. but your solution needs addressing, it is not safe
[15:54] <Pici> |MUSE|: rsync
[15:54] <syscode> cool - thanks ubottu
[15:54] <Yawg> i'm in the process of installing xubuntu on a decTOP and i'm stuck at "could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6..."
[15:54] <KenBW2> |MUSE|: conduit
[15:54] <ice_cream> ok
[15:54] <|MUSE|> thanks
[15:54] <[SeRbian> hey are there any girls
[15:54] <[SeRbian> ?¿?¿
[15:54] <[SeRbian> for chat
[15:54] <[SeRbian> ....
[15:55] <DJones> !ot | [SeRbian
[15:55] <bazhang> [SeRbian, not here please
[15:55] <unop> Qhestion, did you get anywhere with your tar question?
[15:56] <Qhestion> unop: i am still trying to understand what you all said
[15:56] <Qhestion> unop: currently i am browsing the tar and cp man pages, thinking about hardcoding the directories that will be added
[15:57] <joni_> ya where are you?
[15:58] <unop> Qhestion, i'm not aware of a way to have the contents of the current directory placed in a named directory in a tarball
[15:58] <syscode> ok.. ifconfig eth0; route -n  is @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/26673/
[15:58] <porkpie> hi guy's .. how do I add a binary to bootup ?
[15:58] <syscode> ifconfig; route -n is @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/26672/
[15:58] <porkpie> I want to start the radiusd service at start up ?
[15:58] <syscode> sudo dhclient eth0 @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/26670/
[15:58] <unop> Qhestion, what i would do is simply extract the tarball into a seperate directory rather than go through the hassle i.e.  tar zxvf file.tgz -C foo
[15:59] <porkpie> when it reboots
[15:59] <TB`> Hi all
[15:59] <syscode> hope these can help finding why the system wouldnt connect to the internet well
[15:59] <Qhestion> unop: unfortunately this is not possible: this is for a contest and the rules explicitly forbid writing allowed the directory
[15:59] <syscode> a reminder - its ubuntu 8.0.4
[16:00] <Qhestion> unop: ... writing outside of the allowed ...
[16:00] <unop> syscode, i don't see why you can't connect to the internet, everything here is perfect
[16:00] <unop> Qhestion, hmm, you might like to ask this question in #bash - they might know
[16:00] <syscode> oh.. unop.. thanks for looking
[16:00] <Qhestion> unop: thanks, i will.
[16:00] <ice_cream> unop, why was it dangerous, btw
[16:00] <unop> syscode, what happens when you try and ping a host .. like google.com   ?
[16:01] <TB`> Any idea when Ubuntu 8.10 is coming out?
[16:01] <syscode> what else can i do? should i give up then?
[16:01] <ice_cream> unop, it was taking at most one argument into a cp command
[16:01] <gordonjcp> TB`: October
[16:01] <TB`> Thanks
[16:01] <DJones> TB`: Probably towards the end of October
[16:01] <gordonjcp> TB`: the clue is in the title
[16:01] <TB`> Oh sorry, didn't read it gordonjcp
[16:01] <syscode> i can ping any site i like
[16:01] <gordonjcp> 8.<10>
[16:01] <syscode> it pings fine
[16:02] <syscode> which is why initially i thought the problem was in the browser
[16:02] <gordonjcp> TB`: the current one came out in April, and is 8.<04>
[16:02] <syscode> but then when i tried ftp, or download apps - it didnt work either
[16:02] <unop> ice_cream, hold on
[16:02] <TB`> I know that
[16:02] <FTB> Hmm?
[16:02] <astroboyf06> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824974&highlight=D600 I have this exact same problem
[16:02] <FTB> Hmm?
[16:02] <astroboyf06> can someone help me?
[16:03] <syscode> so am very lost indeed on that one..
[16:04] <Mimi> Mmmmm where do I go if I want to change what key stroke  moves the window, etc? It's not on Keyboard Shortcuts.  If I hit the shift key it moves the window, so I cant select text
[16:05] <ice_cream> unop, to rewrite it slightly shorter and avoid colors/aliases -->    /usr/bin/ls | /usr/bin/grep -v ".rb" | xargs -n 1 -iHI cp -r HI tmp
[16:05] <Ghost-R> which is a Light Weight Flash Player for Hardy 32bit ?
[16:05] <unop> ice_cream, ls does not properly escape filenames that contain unusual characters, including spaces, newlines and other ASCII control characters -- now your command works fine when filenames are properly named, but it does not take into consideration exceptions
[16:05] <Ghost-R> flashplayer-nonfree hangs the browser
[16:06] <unop> ice_cream, you should never ever parse the output of ls, ls was never created to be used in scripts or compound commands .. it was simply written to list objects in interactive sessions, thats all
[16:06] <Whitor> nm, dmesg helped figgure it out
[16:07] <unop> ice_cream, if you must copy files in such a way .. use find.   find . -exec cp '{}' /path/to/dest \;
[16:09] <shab> so i'm having a very strange problem... my screen will flicker between a red grade to normal constantly
[16:09] <shab> its not a monitor problem
[16:09] <Ghost-R> !flash
[16:09] <unop> ice_cream, why using ls and xargs that way is actually dangerous is when you have filenames with spaces, a file named "foo bar" will actually be passed down the pipe to xargs as two strings and xargs will think it has to copy two files one "foo" and another "bar"

[16:11] <syscode> well.. thanks for the attempts to help! all the best!

[16:11] <ice_cream> find is not working the way i want it to
[16:11] <unop> ice_cream, no please, don't make excuses about using ls that way -- if you must really know, ask in #bash, they will give you good reasons for avoiding ls completely
[16:12] <hlfshell> unop -  what would you use other than ls?
[16:12] <ice_cream> k i'll ask them
[16:12] <unop> hlfshell, find, tar, cpio
[16:12] <ice_cream> foo\ bar    copied correctly btw
[16:12] <unop> ice_cream, that's properly quoted but ls doesn't do quoting for you
[16:13] <ice_cream> i just made a filename called  foo\ bar first

[16:18] <Pici> mad_max02: This channel is only for Ubuntu support, if you want to discuss OSX take it to ##mac or #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:18] <Pici> !ot
[16:19] <unop> ice_cream,  just an example.  http://pastebin.com/d13e400e8
[16:19] <mad_max02> I dont this that this was off topic at all
[16:19] <mad_max02> and stop pasting all those things
[16:19] <aslamc> ummm... its lspci I think... pici can you confirm that...
[16:20] <Pici> aslamc: yes, that should work
[16:20] <unop> mad_max02, this is an ubuntu support channel, your questions do not pertain to ubuntu
[16:20] <mad_max02> it is
[16:20] <mad_max02> I want to support it
[16:20] <aslamc> elderx type in lspci in terminal
[16:21] <Elderx> sec, just looking it
[16:21] <unop> mad_max02, you can support ubuntu here, please do, it helps .. but please take your questions about osx and aix to #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:21] <osiriz-ubuntu> hello all!
[16:21] <osiriz-ubuntu> can anyone please tell me if the beryl settings file can be converted to compiz?

[16:22] <DASPRiD> what does "i A" mean in aptitude (command line)? i stands for installed, but what does the A stand for?
[16:22] <Pici> DASPRiD: Probably automatically installed, as a dependency, not explicitally.
[16:23] <DASPRiD> because i have many packages marked with A
[16:23] <DASPRiD> which "seem" to be installed, but arent
[16:23] <DASPRiD> have to make aptitude reinstall `package` to realyl install them
[16:23] <DASPRiD> and there are lots of
[16:23] <TacticalFrostbit> is there a terminal command to change the screen resolution?
[16:24] <DASPRiD> xrandr
[16:24] <DASPRiD> if i remember right
[16:24] <Pici> DASPRiD: Packages that are marked as i A are installed.
[16:24] <DASPRiD> Pici, depending programs always complain about that they cannot find them
[16:25] <DASPRiD> until i aptitude reinstall the required packages
[16:25] <aslamc> elderx madwifi
[16:25] <TacticalFrostbit> DASPRiD: how do i use xrandr to change to 1024x768?
[16:25] <aslamc> i have atheros too and works perfect... madwifi will do the job
[16:25] <Pici> DASPRiD: Thats not normal behavior.
[16:25] <DASPRiD> Pici, i know ...
[16:26] <unop> TacticalFrostbit,  xrandr -s 1024x768 # but your setup must support this resolution
[16:26] <TacticalFrostbit> they do
[16:26] <Xavura> You know when you right click and certain letters for everthing are underlined
[16:26] <Xavura> and in menus too
[16:26] <TacticalFrostbit> in facft my setup didnt support the default res
[16:26] <Xavura> I think they are access keys, my question is *how* do I use them
[16:26] <soundwave> please help.. I broke my screen resolution
[16:26] <unop> TacticalFrostbit, xrandr  should list what resolutions are supported
[16:27] <soundwave> I tried to set up my second monitor
[16:27] <Xavura> like how would I access the "Rename" via the R access key, what do I press?
[16:27] <Xavura> alt/shift/ctrl don't work
[16:27] <Xavura> I think on Windows it was alt
[16:27] <soundwave> ubuntu asked me to restart X
[16:27] <soundwave> and now I can't see shit
[16:27] <soundwave> 640x480
[16:27] <soundwave> sorry about my french
[16:27] <Nevermind> does any1 know how to turn ON WiFi on HP G7000? the button for doing that doesnt work(no driver in ubuntu like for brightness buttons?)
[16:28] <ks3> Xavura: I believe you can rename files by pressing F2
[16:28] <Xavura> ks3: that's all fine and dandy
[16:28] <Xavura> but I want to start using all these access keys
[16:28] <Xavura> they make things quicker and easier but I don' tknow how
[16:28] <ajira> hi
[16:29] <unop> Xavura, you might need to use xmodmap to map these keys to the right sequences
[16:29] <Xavura> unop:
[16:29] <ks3> Xavura: once the menu is open, you just hit the letter... not sure how to pop up the menu with a keystroke though. sorry.
[16:29] <Xavura> oh
[16:29] <Xavura> yeah that's kind of what I need, how to pop up the menu with a keystroke
[16:29] <RasQulec> Xavura: The alt key works for me to bring up the menu, does your alt key work correctly elsewhere?
[16:29] <Xavura> but for the TOP  menus I think you can use alt
[16:30] <Xavura> yeah that works, in most apps anyway
[16:30] <Shoopuf> Error- Dependency is not satisfiable: libboo2.0-cil                 ... While installing Banshee 1.0 from a deb package... any idea why i get this error? that file is not in the repository
[16:30] <Xavura> say if I'm going through my music using the arrow keys
[16:30] <Xavura> and I want to rename them, there's no way to trigger the right click menu without the mouse
[16:30] <Nevermind> any1 up for it? (Turn on WiFi on HP G7000)
[16:30] <mgolisch> Shoopuf: mostlikely because it depends on packages which are not in the repo
[16:31] <aslamc> shoopuf i think that means its either an older version or conflicting
[16:31] <mgolisch> Shoopuf: why not use the banshee package from the ubuntu repos
[16:31] <RasQulec> Xavura: do you have that key that looks like a menu on your keyboard?
[16:31] <Xavura> Raskall_: err that looks like a menu? explain
[16:31] <RasQulec> near right super [windows] and control
[16:31] <Shoopuf> mgolisch: I got the one in the repos but this new Banshee 1.0.0 is supposed to be really good
[16:31] <Xavura> err no just space, super, ctrl
[16:31] <aslamc> mgolisch if it didn't exist wouldn't it give a different error message?
[16:32] <Xavura> ctrl super alt space alt super ctrl
[16:32] <RasQulec> Xavura: Aw, some keyboards have a key there that brings up the context menu
[16:32] <Xavura> Nobody know of a way to open right click menus with the keyboard
[16:32] <aslamc> shoopuf let me check which repository i got it from
[16:32] <ASULutzy> Xavura: The little button between alt and ctrl on the right side?
[16:32] <RasQulec> ASULutzy: he doesnt have it
[16:33] <Xavura> er
[16:33] <Xavura> I don't have a button there
[16:33] <RasQulec> Xavura: you could remap right super to context
[16:33] <aslamc> xavura soem keyboards have a right click key if not you can configure it
[16:33] <Xavura> well, I have a super there but the key isn't on, it's broken
[16:33] <Xavura> can't I map left super to do that?
[16:33] <RasQulec> Xavura: whichever
[16:33] <Xavura> I don't use left super except on Windows
[16:33] <aslamc> xavura im sure u can
[16:33] <Xavura> how would I do that?
[16:33] <SamDunne> Hey I'm dual booting ubuntu and windows. Any way to merge the windows partition with the ubuntu files without losing the data on it? i.e getting rid of windows os but keeping the file and folders
[16:34] <RasQulec> Xavura: fyi the context key is keymap 117
[16:34] <Xavura> I don't know how to do it though
[16:34] <Xavura> where do I go?
[16:34] <zs6otb> quit
[16:34] <gordonjcp> SamDunne: copy the files across to the Ubuntu partition, then resize it?
[16:34] <Xavura> zs6otb: forget a forward slash? lol
[16:34] <Xavura> haha
[16:34] <RasQulec> Xavura: I think xmodmap will do it
[16:34] <Xavura> RasQulec: what's that, how do I get to it, how do I use it
[16:34] <RasQulec> Xavura: left super is 115 I think
[16:34] <aslamc> shoopuf why don't you download it from getdeb.net
[16:34] <Xavura> this is what I mean, I have absolutely no idea
[16:35] <td123> SamDunne: you can just copy the files to a backup drive and then reinstall again selecting the entire disk
[16:35] <mgolisch> SamDunne: yeah backup first then kill the windows partition, then resze the ubuntu one, but dont do it ithout backups!
[16:35] <mgolisch> SamDunne: unless the data isnt important
[16:35] <RasQulec> Xavura: I dont know, you will have to look it up, I think you have to configure a script in your home dir to map them using that
[16:35] <Elderx> how can i install madwifi drivers easily ?
[16:35] <Xavura> SamDunne: buy a few DVDs :P
[16:35] <ks3> Xavura: You can try installing xkeycaps - it should let you map your keys
[16:35] <Nevermind> hello? no1 knows about WiFi? )
[16:35] <mgolisch> SamDunne: do you have some external storage like usbhdd wich is big enough?
[16:36] <Xavura> is that the package name?
[16:36] <DASPRiD> Pici, how can i search for all packages which were automaticall installed?
[16:36] <ks3> Xavura: yep. it's a gui front end for xmodmap
[16:36] <Xavura> E: Couldn't find package xmapkeys
[16:36] <Xavura> oops
[16:36] <mgolisch> SamDunne: id copy the files to the ubuntu parition, then backup/image the ubuntu partition, after that remove the windows one and resize the ubuntu one to have more space
[16:36] <Xavura> ignore that
[16:36] <Xavura> I just totally typed the wrong thing
[16:36] <soundwave> can someone help me set up a second monitor?
[16:37] <td123> SamDunne: you will also have to edit the grub file
[16:37] <Shoopuf> aslamc: I figured it out by Googling. :P I had to add 2 lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:38] <RasQulec> Xavura: Type this into a terminal:  xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Menu"
[16:38] <td123> SamDunne: I recommend that you just reinstall from fresh, just copy your important files to a backup, reinstall, copy files back and away you go! thats how I would do it =)
[16:38] <RasQulec> it should remap it
[16:38] <Xavura> ffHAHA
[16:38] <Xavura> it works
[16:38] <SamDunne> I have 30 gb's of music which I cant backup and I'm not willing to lose lol
[16:38] <Xavura> not exactly how I thought it would though
[16:38] <ASULutzy> SamDunne: How much free space does your Ubuntu install have?
[16:38] <Xavura> say if I do it in the x chat window it does the right click for the input box
[16:38] <SamDunne> 18gb
[16:38] <Xavura> even if my mouse is not in the input box
[16:38] <SamDunne> =(
[16:39] <RasQulec> Xavura: okay put "keycode 115=menu" into ~/.xmodmap  if you want to keep it
[16:39] <ASULutzy> SamDunne: Alternatively you could just delete everything on the NTFS partition other than the music and use it as storage
[16:39] <SamDunne> Good idea
[16:39] <ASULutzy> SamDunne: It's not like you can't just convert the Windows partition into a storage space
[16:39] <RasQulec> Xavura: it brings up the menu for the currently selected item that has keyboard focus
[16:39] <td123> SamDunne: you can also convert the ntfs partition to ext3
[16:39] <ASULutzy> td123: Doing that would format it?
[16:39] <SamDunne> How do I do that?
[16:39] <SamDunne> Yeah
[16:39] <SamDunne> So just delet everything on the windows partition apart from music etc?
[16:39] <td123> ASULutzy: ya, I mean format it to ext3
[16:40] <RasQulec> Xavura: Menu may need to be propercase
[16:40] <Xavura> RasQulec: it worked how you typed it
[16:40] <Xavura> RasQulec: ok well x chat doesn't let you blur the input field so that's why right
[16:40] <SamDunne> ASULutzy thanks I'll do that =)
[16:40] <ice_cream> unop, yea, the -1 switch of ls is important for that reason
[16:41] <lesshaste> what's the easiest way to add a password to a pdf document?
[16:41] <RasQulec> Xavura: perhaps, I have not used xchat but if it doesnt give the input focus then it wont work
[16:41] <ASULutzy> td123: that wouldn't be a solution, he wants to keep his 30 GB of music. SamDunneYea, just convert it to storage by deleting everything other than the music ;)
[16:41] <Xavura> it gives the focus input
[16:41] <Xavura> and it works for what I wanted to use it better, it doesn't really work for x chat
[16:41] <myconid> I apt-get'd nagios, removed it, and now when I reinstall it seems to know I previously installed it; and wont try to configure itself.
[16:41] <Xavura> but I never really need to right click in x chat so it's ok
[16:41] <myconid> how do I make apt-get reconfigure nagios ?
[16:41] <Xavura> RasQulec: one thing though, if I reboot will the key still be mapped
[16:42] <erUSUL> myconid: dpkg-reconfigure packagename
[16:42] <myconid> erUSUL: it wont even install now (I deleted /etc/nagios) :)
[16:42] <erUSUL> myconid: you need to do "sudo apt-get remove --purge nagios to get rid of conf files too
[16:43] <RasQulec> Xavura: no, you need to put the stuff in quotes into ~/.xmodmap
[16:43]  * delcoyote hi
[16:43] <lesshaste> what's the easiest way to add a password to a pdf document in linux?
[16:43] <erUSUL> myconid: :| brute force is not usually the best action... a "man apt-get" shoulb have been a better aproach ;P
[16:43] <ice_cream> unop, actually,   xargs -iVAR rm -v VAR  correctly works, even if spaces
[16:43] <myconid> erUSUL: I think I broke it.. http://pastebin.com/m774e4aa7
[16:44] <RasQulec> lesshaste: truecrypt it would be easy :P
[16:44] <Xavura> RasQulec: it is empty/doesn't exist is that normal
[16:44] <RasQulec> Xavura: Yes, you need to make it
[16:44] <lesshaste> Raskall_, can acroread then open it?
[16:44] <erUSUL> myconid: sudo dpkg -i --force-all path/to/deb/file
[16:45] <simmerz> firefox 3 randomly crashes on me. any ideas why?
[16:45] <RasQulec> lesshaste: no you will have to extract it, if there is not a tool for adding a password to the pdf then you will have to put it in an archive like that
[16:45] <simmerz> doesn't appear to be flash that causes it
[16:45] <Xavura> RasQulec: thanks
[16:45] <Oli```> Hi all. This computer has been on for a few days now and when I try and launch new apps, they stall half-way through loading. Ones that are already running are stable. Restarting the whole computer is the only fix I've found. I've no idea what's causing it, or how to tell so any input would be lovely!
[16:45] <erUSUL> myconid: usually yo will see them on /var/cache/apt/archives/
[16:45] <myconid> see what?
[16:45] <aslamc> shoopuf make sure u let me know how u like banshee
[16:45] <lesshaste> Raskall_, :(
[16:45] <erUSUL> myconid: the bed files
[16:45] <aslamc> shoopuf its cool isnt it ;)
[16:45] <erUSUL> myconid: the deb files
[16:46] <RasQulec> lesshaste: I;m RasQulec not Raskall_ :P
[16:46] <lesshaste> :)
[16:46] <ChoboMog> Does anyone know how powerfull a graphics card it takes to run Compiz at 1080p?
[16:46] <myconid> ChoboMog: about 75 watts
[16:46] <unop> ice_cream, you still aren't getting the point - ls doesn't escape at all - http://pastebin.com/d3674fe7b
[16:47] <RasQulec> ChoboMog: an intel x3100 or higher I bet
[16:47] <ChoboMog> okay
[16:47] <Slart> ChoboMog: just running it.. something in the geforce 6 series would run it without sweating I guess
[16:47] <jals> anyone have a good Grip guide for setting encoding flags and stuff?
[16:47] <Slart> ChoboMog: depends on the amount of effects you use too
[16:47] <td123> wth, whats an intel x3100 :)
[16:48] <RasQulec> td123: its the intel 965's video chip
[16:48] <ASULutzy> td123: Integrated graphics card, i965
[16:48] <ChoboMog> I'm currently using a radeon 9200/p4 3ghz, which can run 720p playback without issue, but I wasn't sure how intensive compiz would be compared to that
[16:48] <td123> ahh
[16:48] <RasQulec> ChoboMog: that should work, it doesnt seem to take much to run compiz
[16:48] <ASULutzy> ChoboMog: I have an onboard x3100, it works to run compiz, it won't do much more than that though
[16:48] <ChoboMog> the main settings I use are wobbly windows, awn dock, and the hot-corner like effects
[16:48] <unop> ice_cream, the only way to get around this is to have fields delimited by the NULL character (\0) passed to arg .. e.g. find -print0  .. as far as i know, there is no ls that does that, GNU ls especially
[16:48] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> Hi: Say that I want to uninstall my GNOME desktop, and install IceWM. Running: [sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop] would take me back to the Ubuntu 8.04 installation (server w.GUI) I have server command line. Could i just then do [sudo aptitude update] followed by [sudo aptitude install icewm]?
[16:49] <Oli```> ChoboMog: I'm running compiz at 1920*1200 on two screens on a single 8800 GTS. Compiz isn't that heavy as long as you have a new enough card with enough graphics RAM
[16:49] <ChoboMog> okay
[16:49] <RasQulec> [k0d3]||4[tran]: that should install all the dependencies
[16:49] <thehumanerror> Does anyone have any experience getting a Treo 650 to synchronise with Ubuntu?
[16:49] <Slart> [k0d3]||4[tran]: that should work.. I don't even think you need the sudo apt-get update there
[16:49] <thehumanerror> or know anything about the GNOME Network Applet
[16:50] <Vermux> why when Im running adept_manager it doesnt give me administrator rights to install updates unless I rub sudo adept_manager? (using kubuntu)
[16:50] <thehumanerror> I mean, GNOME Bluetooth Applet
[16:50] <ChoboMog> excellent...I'll give it a shot, thanks
[16:50] <Oli```> ChoboMog: just seen your other message - a 9200 might start to feel the heat at 1080p... that is getting on in years
[16:50] <Slart> [k0d3]||4[tran]: but it can't hurt.. so might as well run it.. unless you've updated recently
[16:50] <RasQulec> ChoboMog: how much video ram does it have?
[16:50] <ChoboMog> 128mb
[16:51] <jeeves__> can someone tell me how to expand my FS3 partition that my root is in without needing a live CD?  I don't have blank disks, and I can't find the ones I had mailed to me
[16:51] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> RasQulec, Slart, thanks for the replies. I have a friend with Ubuntu-Desktop 8.04 installed. Would I be able to do the same [sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop]?
[16:51] <wazon> hi
[16:51] <RasQulec> ChoboMog: its getting close to being a bit weak for that, but you can try. I would expect it to work
[16:51] <wazon> could someone please recommend me a program to chat?

[16:52] <wazon> I think I'm using the correct program then
[16:52] <wazon> :)
[16:52] <ChoboMog> Oay, I'll try it.  However, if I were to upgrade the video card would you recommend AMD or Nvidia?  I'm not sure which one has the best Linux drivers, and especially if any have x.264/h.264 acceleration
[16:52] <MolePrince> Hello, is there any cli tool to backup music from ipod please?
[16:52] <myconid> MolePrince: cp works well
[16:52] <Oli```> ChoboMog: at the moment, nvidia
[16:52] <unavailable> I have a Jabra BTE-0te1    bt headset, and a usb cord.  am i able to bt enable my comp with this setup?
[16:53] <gordonjcp> heigh-ho, all his messages just showed up as "broken unicode" symbols for me
[16:53] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, ahhh, sorry, I don't use IRC that much.  I'd love to learn how it works, but I can't find a lot of good documentation on it.
[16:53] <thehumanerror> gnupod might do what you're after, MolePrince, although it's a bit horrible
[16:53] <MolePrince> myconid: The file names are all jacked up then.  I need one that will preserve the song names.
[16:53] <RasQulec> ChoboMog: atm nvidia seems to be better but ati has release a ton of info and in the future I expect them to be better :/
[16:53] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: there's a bot, and commands to the bot are prefixed with an exclamation mark
[16:53] <unop> MolePrince, ipodfs
[16:53] <myconid> MolePrince: Use a mp3 renamer that uses the file's tags.
[16:53] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, do you know how to resize your root partition without needing a live CD?
[16:53] <thehumanerror> anyone know about syncing a Palm with Ubuntu?
[16:53] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: you can /query the bot so if you want to poke it, it doesn't bother other users
[16:53] <myconid> MolePrince: theres no way to preserve original file names
[16:53] <unavailable> I have a Jabra BTE-0te1    bt headset, and a usb cord.  am i able to bt enable my comp with this setup?
[16:54] <thehumanerror> MolePrince, if you got the all the files back, you could use EasyTag to rename all the files from their tags
[16:54] <thehumanerror> I think
[16:54] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: nope, I've never resized a partition
[16:54] <Oli```> ChoboMog: completely agree with RasQulec - give if a year or two and ATI could well be top for Linux graphics but they're coming from a long way behind
[16:54] <RasQulec> jeeves__: You might be able to make grub mount a live cd that is stored on a non root partition but I dont have experience in setting that up
[16:54] <MolePrince> Thank you for all your suggestions. I'll take a look.

[16:54] <DASPRiD> in which package are config.sub and config.guess?
[16:54] <myconid> MolePrince: what are you trying to do? copy them back to a PC?
[16:54] <myconid> MolePrince: or to another ipod
[16:54] <MolePrince> myconid: From my ipod to a new Linux pc.
[16:55] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, ahhh, well, I don't have blank disk (well, I do, but they're dual layer DVDs), and I can't find the ones I had mailed to me.  I saw a "howto" on howtoforge.com, butI didn't know if it was any good
[16:55] <myconid> MolePrince: ok.  If it was ipod to ipod, I was going to say the file names dont matter
[16:55] <SeveredCross> MolePrince: Banshee or Rhythmbox should be able to do that.
[16:55] <ai3gtmc> hi I just upgraded to hardy heron but my sound card isn't detected after the upgrade
[16:55] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: boot off a USB stick?
[16:55] <SeveredCross> If you just drag the files from your iPod into Rhythmbox's library, it'll import them and rename them to match your settings.
[16:55] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> Will switching desktop environments on Ubuntu 8.04 server (w/GNOME) cause me to lose any programs or files?
[16:55] <RasQulec> [k0d3]||4[tran]: programs perhaps, files no
[16:55] <unop> SeveredCross, he did say CLI too :)
[16:55] <ChoboMog> Okay...I'll probably be doing the screen upgrade before the fall so if need be I'll probably go for Nvidia, and then a few years down the road, see which brand will be best for a new PC
[16:55] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, I'm using a Toshiba laptop.  (ie. the BIOS is as dumb as my mother)
[16:55] <RasQulec> [k0d3]||4[tran]: any that depend on gnome will go away
[16:55] <SeveredCross> unop: Oh, I did not see that. :<
[16:56] <ChoboMog> Thanks for the help ^_^
[16:56] <Oli```> Anyone seen this problem before: Computer has been on for a few days now and when I try and launch new apps, they stall half-way through loading. Ones that are already running are stable. Restarting the whole computer is the only fix. =\
[16:56] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: that's not a very nice thing to say
[16:56] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> RasQulec, t/y
[16:56] <unavailable> gordonjcp its a low end jabra headset
[16:56] <gordonjcp> Oli```: running low on memory?
[16:56] <RasQulec> Oli```: do you have swap set up? it may be out of mem
[16:57] <Oli```> gordonjcp: no, loads of it free according to conky. htop confirms. RasQulec - swap is set up too.
[16:57] <RasQulec> Oli```: is it always the same programs or does it not matter?
[16:57] <Oli```> RasQulec: doesn't matter - everything stalls
[16:58] <RasQulec> Oli```: can you still use the terminal? when it happens you should check logs like dmesg
[16:59] <Oli```> Apart from System Monitor. That works but that may be because I have an applet already loaded on the panel.
[16:59] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, have you ever had a set of disks mailed to you after requesting them on the website?
[16:59] <idx> I have a game that funs in the terminal
[16:59] <idx> I want to create a launcher in Gnome for it
[17:00] <Oli```> RasQulec: can't get into a terminal =(
[17:00] <idx> I've tried gnome-terminal -e <game path and exec>, but it just closes straight away.
[17:00] <RasQulec> Oli```: ): does your cpu usage go up?
[17:00] <nixnoob> idx: create an icon with the command gnome-terminal +x gamename
[17:00] <nixnoob> idx: create an icon with the command gnome-terminal -x gamename rather
[17:01] <Oli```> RasQulec: it's pretty low (under 10% and that's only because system monitor is running)
[17:01] <idx> Hmmm, it still blinks and the quits
[17:01] <idx> Hmmm
[17:02] <idx> It's a problem with the game perhaps
[17:02] <sn9> is there a way to read pdfs within firefox without mozplugger?
[17:02] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: set of disks?
[17:02] <Oli```> RasQulec: And now my cursor is a text-carat-thingy all the time. Random. Starting to fear for my existence...
[17:02] <unop> sn9, the acroread plugin
[17:02] <RasQulec> Oli```: does it occur after the same amount of time each time?
[17:02] <sn9> unop: no other way?
[17:03] <td123> sn9: no, you need some kind of plugin, like acroread or some other software that supports firefox
[17:03] <unop> sn9, i believe evince has a plugin
[17:03] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, yes, requesting disk from the ubuntu site
[17:03] <sn9> unop: is it in the repo?
[17:03] <coolasjon> I need help with my graphics card and monitor in Hardy
[17:03] <idx> If I try to run it, bash just says command 'hengband' not found
[17:03] <RasQulec> Oli```: I would recommed restarting now, and then looking athe the old logs that the system stores to see if there are error messages in /var/log/messages and such
[17:03] <unop> sn9, yes, i believe so
[17:03] <idx> Despite the file "hengband" being set to +x
[17:03] <sn9> unop: what's it called?
[17:03] <unop> sn9, evince
[17:04] <Oli```> RasQulec: Roger that, captain. bbiab
[17:04] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: never tried
[17:04] <unop> sn9, not sure of the plugin filename
[17:04] <coolasjon> are is the a driver for my dell monitor?
[17:04] <unop> idx, where is this file located?
[17:04] <sn9> unop: can you find out what pkg has the plugin? (and don't say mozplugger)
[17:04] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, I requested a server and desktop CD set, and I got stickers included!!!
[17:04] <Oli```> RasQulec: >_< the quit dialogue wont load either =) hard reset time
[17:05] <LieZ^> anyone good with vim?
[17:05] <RasQulec> Oli```: ):
[17:05] <abchirk> LieZ^ whats your question
[17:05] <idx> In it's own dir, had to compile it myself so it didn't put things in the right places
[17:05] <LieZ^> how do you exit and save rofl
[17:05] <LieZ^> no clue
[17:05] <abchirk> :wq
[17:05] <LieZ^> type that and press enter?
[17:05] <abchirk> yes
[17:05] <unop> sn9,  ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-25685.html
[17:05] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: it only takes about 7 minutes to download the ISO for me...
[17:05] <idx> Strange thing, it was working perfectly t'other day. I think I might recompile
[17:05] <unop> idx, then use the full pathname to execute it
[17:05] <abchirk> :w is only save
[17:06] <idx> Ah
[17:06] <idx> ./hengband
[17:06] <unop> idx, it shouldn't be necessary to recompile -- just use the right paths
[17:06] <idx> Works
[17:06] <RasQulec> LieZ^: http://tnerual.eriogerg.free.fr/vimqrc.pdf
[17:06] <LieZ^> yer nothing happens
[17:06] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, ahhh, but it looks soooo much better when you can go to a prespective client's place and just drop in a pressed disk!
[17:06] <gordonjcp> jeeves__: true
[17:06] <unop> idx, but ./hengband only works if you are in that directory -- not from anywhere else
[17:06] <mjg> what is the "Nice" column in SystemMonitor?
[17:06] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, and since it comes with stickers, it's easy advertizing
[17:06] <rogue_trader> wow I can use compiz fusion desktop effects now ... and it seems so be without crashing
[17:06] <RasQulec> LieZ^: vim has multiple modes, if you are in insert mode you need to hit escape to type in commands
[17:06] <idx> would "/home/ashley/downloads/hengband-1.6.2/hengband"
[17:06] <coolasjon> is anyone willing to help me with my graphics card and monitor? Please
[17:07] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, brb
[17:07] <idx> Quality as a whole path? Since that's what I'm feeding gnome-terminal
[17:07] <unop> mjg, a nice value is like a priority, the lower the nice value, the more un-nice it is is, and uses more cpu cycles
[17:07] <coolasjon> I just installed Hardy
[17:07] <sn9> unop: yuck, thanx
[17:07] <LieZ^> aahhh thanks rasq
[17:07] <RasQulec> coolasjon: why do you need a driver for your monitor?
[17:07] <mjg> unop haha, odd.  can you increase/decrease the Nice value?
[17:07] <unop> idx, that would do, yes
[17:07] <iceeey> hi
[17:07] <unop> mjg, yes -- using nice and renice
[17:08] <coolasjon> well with my graphics card I only get two size resolutions
[17:08] <unop> mjg, the system monitor might have its own way of doing it
[17:08] <mjg> unop oh i found it! thanks!
[17:08] <coolasjon> and I have tried everything
[17:08] <coolasjon> googled everything
[17:08] <RasQulec> coolasjon: thats not a monitor driver issue, xorg isnt picking up your video card correctly it sounds like
[17:08] <mjg> unop the only thing that has "nice" on mine is 'trackerd'
[17:08] <iceeey> i just upgraded from gutsy to hardy and now all my qt3 apps freeze when i click in a text box (e.g. opening the run dialog with alt+f2), anyone have ideas?
[17:08] <onialb> nvidia geforce go 7600 problem after upgrade to hardy. anyone _
[17:08] <wols> coolasjon: what videocard?
[17:08] <crookshanks> anyone know where adept-installer, et al get their mirror list from?
[17:09] <coolasjon> well I just did a fresh install and used EnvyNG
[17:09] <wols> coolasjon: man sources.list
[17:09] <wols> coolasjon: what videocard?
[17:09] <RasQulec> !EnvyNG
[17:09] <unop> mjg, yea, it has to have a high nice value - or it will take up a lot of cycles and might make your system a little unstable/sluggish
[17:09] <coolasjon> nvidia 5200 FX
[17:09] <wols> crookshanks:  man sources.list
[17:09] <wols> nvidia | crookshanks
[17:09] <onialb> crookshanks: you mean al for albania ?
[17:09] <coolasjon> what can I do?
[17:09] <idx> Hmmm, it still refuses to stay on screen for less than one picosecond. Disappointing.
[17:10] <mjg> unop it seems to tell me the lower the nice value, the higher the priority
[17:10] <RasQulec> coolasjon: what is your video card?
[17:10] <crookshanks> wols: no, that's not what i mean
[17:10] <coolasjon> Nvidia 5200FX
[17:10] <onialb> nvidia geforce go 7600 problem after upgrade to hardy. anyone that can help ?
[17:10] <coolasjon> It worked fine with Gutsy
[17:10] <crookshanks> wols: i mean, i go to change my software sources, and it gives me a dialog where i can choose the mirror i want to use, where does it get that list?  is it on the filesystem?
[17:10] <mjg> unop ah right, so the low nice = more cpu cycles, high nice = low cpu
[17:11] <mjg> unop so if i set something to very high nice value, will the program itself (ie - firefox) become slow?
[17:11] <coolasjon> I can't find a fix
[17:11] <onialb> i get an error saying that is ubuntu is going to run in safe mode graphics. hardware drivers doesnt resolve the problem because i tried enabling and restarting but nothing changes
[17:12] <RasQulec> coolasjon: go to system -> admistration -> hardware drivers
[17:12] <meoblast001> hi
[17:12] <meoblast001> how do you restart sound cuz i dont feel like logging out and my sound wont play
[17:13] <chriswr> i just download a source file from http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/kfceu?content=63274 can anyone help me install it?
[17:13] <Oli``> RasQulec: Okay the only log message from around the time it started playing up is: "pulseaudio[11974]: source-output.c: Failed to create source output: too many outputs per source." Not sure how that breaks the entire computer, unless that's just another symptom
[17:14] <Xavura> Music preview won't work if I change view type to list
[17:14] <RasQulec> Oli``: looks like a symptom, it could be a harddrive issue, you should install the smart tools and run a diagnostic on the disk
[17:14] <Xavura> Is there any way to fix that
[17:15] <oobe> im having trouble with ndiswrapper randomly disconnecting my wireless anyone use ndiswrapper

[17:23] <ballsac> hi
[17:24] <ronin12345> Hi I used Envy to update fglrx to 8.6 but when using "export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose" It still says that I have 8.50.3 and at the end of fglrxinfo i get a segmentation fault
[17:24] <ballsac> i just installed ubuntu on my computer
[17:24] <ballsac> i am looking for a good antivirus package for it
[17:24] <ballsac> what do u guys recommend?
[17:24] <bazhang> clamav ballsac
[17:24] <ballsac> clamav?
[17:24] <chriswr> whats the difference from grub and usplash????
[17:24] <Pici> ballsac: Are you going to be serving files to Windows systems?
[17:24] <Bob_Sagot> theres anti-virus for linux?
[17:24] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: there is
[17:24] <ballsac> Pici : I would be doing a lot of internet browsing, checking email and using microsoft word, excel etc.
[17:25] <ballsac> btw
[17:25] <ronin12345> there are also virus for Linux
[17:25] <Bob_Sagot> Lol, one day I suppose Linux users may need anti-virus
[17:25] <gordonjcp> ronin12345: no
[17:25] <ballsac> how does on go about running word
[17:25] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: unlikely
[17:25] <myconid> Bob_Sagot: my fileserver is linux.. but i run AV for the windows clients that access it.
[17:25] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: it's very very handy for scanning incoming mail
[17:25] <cube_> my display resets after reboot, and editing out the undesired resolution from xorg.conf doesn't help or saving my session with the correct display so what should i do
[17:25] <ballsac> how to install word in ubuntu
[17:25] <chriswr> bob_sagot: there is chkrootkit in synaptic for root kits
[17:25] <atlef> ballsac: you need wine
[17:25] <Pici> ballsac: Unless you are sharing files with Windows users, you really don't need antivirus.  Linux is not succeptable to any viruses in the wild.
[17:25] <ballsac> the CD i have dosent wor
[17:25] <myconid> ball: apt-get install openoffice
[17:26] <Bob_Sagot> ok, i was just making a quick remark
[17:26] <Pici> ballsac: OpenOffice supports editing and saving .doc files.
[17:26] <ballsac> atlef : ok where can i get wine (im assuming it's a program, not the drink :))
[17:26] <chriswr> whats the difference from grub and usplash????
[17:26] <atlef> ballsac: or create a virtual machine and install windows to it
[17:26] <Bob_Sagot> if you want a full discussion we can do it in offtopic
[17:26] <ballsac> Pici: Is it legal though?
[17:26] <ballsac> i heard some of this open source stuff might be illegal
[17:26] <Dreiskat> any1 knows,  how to use finnish layout in irc-client?  ä  + ö needed
[17:26] <Pici> ballsac: Its all legal.
[17:26] <ballsac> ...just playing it safe u know
[17:27] <HappyHater> haha
[17:27] <Bob_Sagot> ballsac
[17:27] <atlef> ballsac: apt-get install wine, or open synaptic and search
[17:27] <E2PZ> all bot is ban
[17:27] <ballsac> alrighty!
[17:27] <taddis_> Hi, How can I find out what kind of encoding a file has?
[17:27] <Bob_Sagot> there is a work processing program that comes pre-installed with ubuntu
[17:27] <Bob_Sagot> word*
[17:27] <chriswr> does anyone know whats the difference from grub and usplash????
[17:27] <greg_universe> ochris: usplash happens when you log in
[17:27] <ballsac> Bob_Sagot: ill use that then instead of installing anything
[17:27] <E2PZ> the colors!!!
[17:27] <ballsac> how doe sone access it
[17:27] <simmerz> firefox 3 randomly crashes on me. any ideas why? doesn't appear to be flash causing it.
[17:27] <ronin12345> gordonjcp: there have been and are linux viruses but their effect is very limited due to the fact that updates are released and applied faster
[17:27] <Bob_Sagot> its just an idea
[17:27] <Pici> chriswr: usplash just displays the nice picture when you boot, grub actually loads the kernel
[17:28] <gordonjcp> ronin12345: uhm, no
[17:28] <Bob_Sagot> ballsac: but if you dont like it, you will need to install wine on your linux distro then install word
[17:28] <gordonjcp> ronin12345: there are various exploits for Linux, but no viruses
[17:28] <chriswr> pici: can you tell me how to install new ones?
[17:28] <cube_> how do i make my correct resolution stay after a reboot?
[17:28] <bazhang> ronin12345, lets take this to offtopic channel
[17:28] <ronin12345> gordonjcp um yes

[17:33] <ballsac> bazhang: dont tell me where to go, son!
[17:33] <OEks> Hi guys, i really don't think you should be telling people to install openoffice, it's pirated software from Microsoft made to work with Linux and be free.
[17:33] <Elderx> Firefishe, is there any graphical way to do it ?
[17:33] <Firefishe> ikonia:  As to the downloading of 8.04, I'm not on a very fast connection.  It might be easier to install from the cd, then just upgrade.  Or will it have to download everything, anyway?
[17:33] <Photocopy> Im assuming tht its a common problem
[17:33] <abchirk> thx for the info OEks
[17:33] <atlef> OEks: haha
[17:33] <Atomhunter> OEks: WTF?
[17:34] <Photocopy> There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. on my ubuntu 8.04 booting off my usb stick (via guide by pendrivelinux.com) Can anyone help me out please?
[17:34] <ikonia> Firefishe: the difference won't be massive to be honest, hence why I said the cd may work better
[17:34] <Firefishe> ikonia:  I have the Kubuntu 8.04 cd, but I really want the ubuntu/gnome system as the standard, untill kde 4.x becomes a bit more mature in the upstream
[17:34] <basvg> hey all... all of a sudden f-spot stopped working. When I fire it up it only shows blanks for images. Top does show high load for f-spot. Any thoughts?
[17:34] <Bob_Sagot> ---Ok, I am in need of help myself, I can run a program off of my 'sda' where linux is installed, but when I try to run it off of 'sdb' I get this error: "No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file." Please help---
[17:34] <ikonia> Firefishe: install from that, and then install gnome - thats a smaller download
[17:34] <Firefishe> ikonia:  I see.  Is there a way to get the 2.6.25 kernel via patching?
[17:34] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: what's the program you're trying to run off sdb?
[17:34] <Firefishe> ikonia:  Really?
[17:34] <ikonia> Firefishe: why do o uwant it ?
[17:34] <OEks> You have been warned.
[17:35] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: UrbanTerror
[17:35] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: oh right
[17:35] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: is that the installer?
[17:35] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: No, just extract and run
[17:35] <Firefishe> ikonia:  a bit more support for the b43 module...  oh wait, doesn't gutsy come with b43, as well as kubuntu 8.04?
[17:35] <Elderx> iwconfig just gives this : lo        no wireless extensions.  eth0      no wireless extensions. Somethings wrong ?
[17:35] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: ok, I vaguely remember installing it, but I'm sure I ran a shell script installer
[17:35] <Photocopy> T_T Nobody here is available to help?
[17:36] <basvg> eog does seem to work.
[17:36] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: The program runs fine off of the sda, but doesnt run off of sdb, and the weird thing is, before I reinstalled my Linux, it worked fine from a secondary hard drive
[17:36] <Firefishe> Elderx:  That means, probably, that you need the firmware blobs from the driver file.  What wireless card are you using?
[17:36] <sandi> does anyone know anything about the gyachi ?
[17:36] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: oh ok, can you pastebin or pm the output from "mount"?
[17:36] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: yea sure
[17:37] <Elderx> What wa
[17:37] <Firefishe> Photocopy:  What is it you're having trouble with?
[17:37] <Photocopy> A common problem I believe
[17:37] <Elderx> Firefishe, what was the command to see what card i have ?
[17:37] <Photocopy> Ive said it twice so ill send the first part to you in query
[17:38] <sandi> when i am in gyachi and i do have sound i cannot mute a person.... is that a glitch?
[17:38] <ali__> guys need some suggestions, im REALLY used to the mirc App from Windows, It has features like A Channel list, allows me to send files easily, etc what irc clients are there LIKE MIRC for linux?
[17:38] <trakinas> how do I add new locales to my system? I keep forgetting... that debian dialog where you chose loads.
[17:38] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/26700/
[17:38] <ali__> So Far i've tried irssi, xchat and now konversation
[17:38] <crichardso> anyone here using bonding here? i am having some strange issues
[17:38] <trakinas> ali__: just like mIRC, no. xchat2 is really good and i prefer it over mIRC. but you could use gaim, kopete, etc.
[17:38] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: see the line describing /dev/sdb1?  It's got "noexec" as an option
[17:39] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: see if you can guess what the implications of that are
[17:39] <ali__> trakinas: hey one more thing
[17:39] <Bob_Sagot> hmm, i didnt see that before, lemme check it out
[17:39] <atlef> ali__: try kvirc
[17:39] <ali__> how can i get rid of Gnome and Install something like Open Box/Flux Box

[17:40] <sandi> um has anyone seen my posts re:  gyachi?
[17:40] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: I would change that in the fstab, correct?
[17:40] <trakinas> ali__: dont need to ger rid of gnome.... just install *box and use it as your default window manager
[17:40] <Firefishe> lol...dEAmon LOL
[17:40]  * Firefishe retires his finges
[17:40] <Firefishe> fingers even

[17:42] <DieseL`nix> anyone know of a fix for samba in gutsy?
[17:42] <trakinas> ali__: i also like e16, in fact, love ir.
[17:42] <DieseL`nix> when i map a windows share it gives and error, then sort of maps it twice?
[17:42] <trakinas> never use pekwm. i should have a look on it
[17:42] <chriswr> what type of file should a usplash file be????
[17:42] <unop> chriswr, compressed bitmap i think
[17:42] <ali__> guys i cant find kvirc >2.3 and i remeber firefishe recommened 3.2.7 im searching for it in my package manager
[17:42] <Coggz> !kde
[17:43] <myconid> chriswr: google-usplash howto
[17:43] <gordonjcp> sandi: no, what's gyachi chat?
[17:43] <chriswr> ok
[17:43] <bazhang> !usplash | chriswr
[17:43] <Firefishe> chriswr:  speaking of which, how do you disable the splash at boot up?  I just want to see the startup lines, without the spash screen
[17:43] <sandi> its a chat client
[17:43] <Charbucks> I can't seem to record any sound (not from a microphone, from a program) with recordmydesktop, any clues?
[17:43] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: I for some reason still cant run programs from the sdb
[17:43] <Coggz> hi remi/carlos
[17:43] <DieseL`nix> anyone aware of the broken samba in ubuntu 8.04?
[17:43] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: did you remount?
[17:43] <Bob_Sagot> i did
[17:44] <DieseL`nix> it happens on every install of gutsy i've done
[17:44] <Bob_Sagot> umount and mount
[17:44] <ali__> Firefishe: hey i cant find anything higher than 2.3 for kvirc in synaptic pack manager
[17:44] <Coggz> Carlos: Join #Coggz
[17:44] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: odd.  Well, it's something related to that, I'm sure
[17:44] <chriswr> firefishe: idk , just started with linux few days ago so im kinda a noob
[17:44] <gordonjcp> Bob_Sagot: it sounds permissionsy
[17:44] <trakinas> !locales
[17:44] <Bob_Sagot> gordonjcp: this install of ubuntu has been doing nothing but giving me problems
[17:44] <issyl0> /window/window 14
[17:44] <gordonjcp> sandi: have you tried pidgin?
[17:45] <atlef> ali__: ignore the numer 2 thing
[17:45] <ali__> guys if i want to install something like flux box can i get rid of compiz?
[17:45] <Coggz> Carlos: Join #Coggz
[17:45] <atlef> *nimber
[17:45] <atlef> *number
[17:45] <ali__> atlef: so just get any version?
[17:45] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: what errors are you getting?
[17:45] <sandi> gordon: isn't that just a im service?
[17:45] <Firefishe> ali__:  There are builds of the later releases.  You have to do a bit of googling and searching the archives to find 3.2.6 Anomalies.
[17:45] <gordonjcp> sandi: it's an im client that handles lots of different services
[17:45] <DieseL`nix> "The specified location is not mounted"
[17:45] <DieseL`nix> Jeruvy,
[17:45] <sandi> ok i'll check it out thanx
[17:45] <Firefishe> ali__:  Let me see if I can get you alink
[17:45] <Firefishe> a link
[17:46] <ali__> kk
[17:46] <Coggz> carlos: Join #Coggz
[17:46] <DieseL`nix> it appears on the desktop, when i try to open it it sort of mounts a second time
[17:46] <atlef> ali__: it says 2:3.24 which means 3.24
[17:46] <DieseL`nix> both mounts disappear after a restart
[17:47] <unop> DieseL`nix, if you wish for a partition to be mounted automatically at startup -- make an entry for it in /etc/fstab
[17:47] <ali__> kk
[17:47] <unop> !fstab | DieseL`nix
[17:47] <Firefishe> ali__:  I'm looking
[17:47] <ali__> firefishe found it:D
[17:47] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: if it's working sometimes but not others you probably have configuration issues with your samba setup.
[17:47] <Solob> Salut tlm
[17:47] <DieseL`nix> no it never works
[17:47] <taddis_> Hi, How can I find out what kind of encoding a file has?
[17:47] <ali__> Firefishe: i found it :D
[17:47] <Firefishe> ali__:  good...can you give me the url?  you can /msg me with it if you like
[17:47] <unop> !fr | Solob
[17:47] <DieseL`nix> and this is on multiple installs
[17:48] <Solob> ok
[17:48] <DieseL`nix> fresh installs on various machines
[17:48] <Solob> Hi all :)
[17:48] <DieseL`nix> everytime its the same
[17:48] <DieseL`nix> gutsy 8.04 has broken samba support
[17:48] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix you just said : when i try to open it it sort of mounts a second time
[17:48] <DieseL`nix> yes
[17:48] <unop> Solob, hey - how can we help?
[17:48] <mahesh> hi
[17:48] <DieseL`nix> you mount it, get an error, share appears on desktop, double click, share appears second time and you can browse
[17:48] <MaSSaSLaYeR> i got a question: where can i buy a laptop case, so i can assemble my laptop on my own. i can't find it anywhere
[17:48] <DieseL`nix> so i get two icons on my desktop
[17:48] <DieseL`nix> after a restart both icons are gone
[17:49] <unop> MaSSaSLaYeR, this is a question for #hardware
[17:49] <mahesh> new user:: i wanto install .tar.gz package which i have
[17:49] <trakinas> sitll dont get what i want with !locales...
[17:49] <DieseL`nix> before i upgraded, i could mount windows shares, they appeared as an icon ONCE on my desktop, i could restart and they would still be there
[17:49] <DieseL`nix> and there were no errors
[17:49] <trakinas> any help?
[17:49] <Solob> I have a small problem .. I had ubuntu and windows installed on 2 partitions. Thx to windows bugs, i had to reinstall windows, who erased the MBR, and so the multiboot. My question is : what is the SIMPLEST way to rebuild the multiboot ?
[17:49] <atlef> !tar.gz
[17:49] <trakinas> i want to add other languages
[17:49] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix:  I think that is a nautilaus bug and has been reported.  But shares should work.  Samba isn't that issue.
[17:49] <mahesh> new user:: i wanto install .tar.gz package which i have
[17:49] <unop> trakinas, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales
[17:49] <ali__> guys if i want to install something like flux box can i get rip of compiz?
[17:50] <DieseL`nix> Jeruvy, ok
[17:50] <DieseL`nix> so how do i fix it?
[17:50] <DieseL`nix> i want to have mounted drives
[17:50] <unop> ali__, you don't need to
[17:50] <trakinas> ali__: sure
[17:50] <mahesh> new user:: i wanto install .tar.gz package which i have
[17:50] <unop> DieseL`nix, mount your samba shares in /etc/fstab
[17:50] <ali__> ll
[17:50] <mahesh> help
[17:50] <ali__> i mean okay
[17:50] <greg_universe> does anybody have problems using cp games in lunux usign a dual monitor setup?
[17:51] <unop> mahesh, tar.gz files are like .zip files, they cannot be installed -- they must be extracted
[17:51] <atlef> !patience | mahesh:
[17:51] <DieseL`nix> unop, and they will appear as volumes on my desktop?
[17:51] <ali__> oh i dont have windows installed but is there anyway i can play games like counter strike? :D
[17:51] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: I haven't explored it since it doesn't affect me.  But check out the ubuntu bug forums.  Unop's suggestions will probably avoid this give it a shot.
[17:51] <Prez00_> anyone got an X61 with custom kernel going on 8.04 that can share their .config?
[17:51] <atlef> ali__: yes
[17:51] <trakinas> !tar.gz | mahesh:
[17:51] <mahesh> ubottu:: sorry
[17:52] <trakinas> mahesh: ubottu is not a person, btw
[17:52] <unop> DieseL`nix, you can have shortcuts to the mount-points on your desktop, launchers to them or even mount stuff directly on your desktop (which probably won't look as good)
[17:52] <Prez00_> I have most working, except for small things like weird video at startup, once in X no prob... and acpi_notify getting stuck when trygin to undock.. with 2.6.25.x
[17:52] <Zero_Q> hello word
[17:52] <Zero_Q> XD
[17:52] <DieseL`nix> unop i want exactly what "connect to server" gave me
[17:52] <mahesh> trakinas:: oh i didnt know
[17:52] <ali__> atlef: how so?
[17:52] <unop> DieseL`nix, i don't know what that is - i don't use gnome
[17:53] <Zero_Q> hello world
[17:53] <atlef> !wine | ali__:
[17:53] <DieseL`nix> when you say fstab, that would mean i need to mount them to a folder in my filesystem?
[17:53] <Geoffrey2> is there actually a version 10 of Adobe Flash out at this point?
[17:53] <ali__> i have that installed ill figure it out thanks for the help guys
[17:53] <ali__> :D
[17:53] <unop> DieseL`nix, right
[17:53] <trakinas> unop: that is not what i want... i want a dialog where you chose other languages to add.
[17:53] <DieseL`nix> and would this also mean i would always need to be connected to the network they are on?
[17:53] <grant_> I've got a bit of an urgent question folks, I recently installed ubuntu and i'm quite sure I partitioned it like windows XP 42% ubuntu 58%, but I was wondering how I can get back to windows?
[17:53] <Sili__> wee :)
[17:53] <mahesh> trakinas:: i have mysql package.. tat i want to install....help
[17:54] <unop> trakinas, reconfiguring the locales package gives you exactly that :)
[17:54] <ikonia> mahesh: what do you want to install
[17:54] <trakinas> unop: i will pastebin...
[17:54] <unop> DieseL`nix, well yes, obviously
[17:54] <ikonia> grant_: what do you mean by get back to windows ?
[17:54] <ikonia> grant_: as in boot into windows ?
[17:54] <grant_> Can anyone help me?
[17:54] <grant_> Yes
[17:54] <mahesh> ikonia:: mysql tar.gz package which i have in my desktop now..
[17:54] <ikonia> grant_: is windows not available from your grub menu ?
[17:54] <DieseL`nix> unop it's no good to me then, i'm on a laptop
[17:54] <grant_> When I turn on my computer it goes right into the ubuntu login
[17:54] <ikonia> mahesh: what is in that tar file, eg: what package do you want to install
[17:54] <unop> mahesh, why won't you install mysql from the repositories?
[17:54] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: irrelevent :)
[17:55] <grant_> It shows something "GRUB" but that only flashes for a second or two
[17:55] <mahesh> mysql
[17:55] <ikonia> grant_: can you put the output of "sudo fdisk -l" into a apstebin please
[17:55] <DieseL`nix> Jeruvy, how so?
[17:55] <trakinas> unop: http://pastebin.us/?show=d49cf5663
[17:55] <ikonia> mahesh: the package "mysql" is in the ubuntu repos
[17:55] <mahesh> ikonia:: mysql package
[17:55] <unop> DieseL`nix, you need to be connected to a network if you want to mount a remote share -- using nautilus or otherwise
[17:55] <ikonia> mahesh: you can install it by opening synaptic and searching for mysql, the marking it for install
[17:55] <mahesh> ikonia: no i got it from my friend
[17:55] <ikonia> mahesh: you don't need to
[17:55] <trakinas> mahesh: install it via synaptic
[17:55] <ikonia> mahesh: it's in the ubuntu repo's
[17:56] <DieseL`nix> when i'm not it left the "mount" there it just would throw up an error until i was connected
[17:56] <mahesh> ikonia: synaptic doesnt show it
[17:56] <DieseL`nix> with fstab, if i'm not connected on boot it's not going to mount now is it?
[17:56] <ikonia> mahesh: if you open up synaptic from system -> administration -> synaptic
[17:56] <mahesh> ikonia: i searched it!!
[17:56] <ikonia> mahesh: I can see it in front of me
[17:56] <mahesh> ya
[17:56] <trakinas> me too
[17:56] <grant_> ikonia:http://pastebin.com/d2064ecfc
[17:57] <ikonia> mahesh: the client is called mysql-client, the server is mysql-server
[17:57] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: well the mount will be done, it will fail.  Once the connection is up tho it should work fine.  This is really basic networking, I do not see any problem with the suggestions.
[17:57] <mahesh> ikonia: ya i see it
[17:57] <unop> trakinas, not sure what has happened there -- usually you are prompted for additional locales to install -- btw, athena happens to be my hostname too :)
[17:57] <ikonia> grant_: sudo fdisk -l "not 1"
[17:57] <ikonia> grant_: as in fdisk -"ell"
[17:57] <Prez00_> how can i view my bios version within linux?
[17:57] <grant_> Aaah
[17:57] <grant_> Looked like a 1
[17:57] <DieseL`nix> i don't really want them in my filesystem though
[17:57] <mahesh> ikonia: but i wan to learn about how to install a package by myself
[17:57] <ikonia> Prez00_: it shows the version when you boot the machine
[17:57] <Prez00_> ikonia: yeah, a bit late for that now :-)
[17:57] <mahesh> ikonia: which is in my media
[17:57] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: well then you're stuck doing it with nautilaus.
[17:58] <ikonia> mahesh: then untar it and read the "README" file, however it will break your pacakge managment facilities
[17:58] <DieseL`nix> i dont understand how such a massive bug can be in a "new" version??
[17:58] <ikonia> Prez00_: lshw
[17:58] <grant_> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d3d74f860
[17:58] <DieseL`nix> does ubuntu not get tested before new versions are released?
[17:58] <ikonia> grant_: there is no windows partition there
[17:58] <ikonia> grant_: you've removed your windows partition
[17:58] <grant_> Damn.  I dunno what happened on the install.
[17:58] <ikonia> DieseL`nix: which bug is this
[17:58] <trakinas> unop: what a coincidence! haha! well... i will see what i can do.
[17:58] <grant_> Well this is incredibly sucky.
[17:59] <DieseL`nix> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/198531
[17:59] <ikonia> DieseL`nix: there is a fix release for it ?
[17:59] <DieseL`nix> can't find it though?
[17:59] <ikonia> DieseL`nix: really, one moment
[17:59] <DieseL`nix> someone said on there it was in the new isos?
[17:59] <Prez00_> ikonia: that was it, thanks
[18:00] <ikonia> DieseL`nix: it should be in the repo's for download onto existing systes
[18:00] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix>: This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu3
[18:00] <Legendario> hi! i have opened nautilus as root and delete couple folders. Do i have a way to recover them?
[18:00] <ikonia> I can see that pacakge
[18:00] <ikonia> Legendario: are they in the trash bin ?
[18:00] <MaSSaSLaYeR> anyone know: 08 numbers are there free?
[18:00] <ikonia> MaSSaSLaYeR: not appropriate in this channel
[18:00] <chriswr> can anyone tell me how to install startupmanager_1.9.11-1_all.deb?
[18:00] <ikonia> chriswr: dpkg -i
[18:00] <Legendario> ikonia, not in my user bin
[18:01] <MaSSaSLaYeR> well ikonia there's no channel for numbers....
[18:01] <ikonia> Legendario: no, you did it as root
[18:01] <MaSSaSLaYeR> just a normall question
[18:01] <ikonia> MaSSaSLaYeR: thats not ubuntus issue
[18:01] <bazhang> MaSSaSLaYeR, not here
[18:01] <ikonia> MaSSaSLaYeR: this is for ubuntu issues only
[18:01] <DieseL`nix> Jeruvy, how do i get that>
[18:01] <DieseL`nix> * ?
[18:01] <ks3> chriswr: If you've already downloaded it, just run dpkg -i file_name
[18:01] <ikonia> Legendario: look in root's trash
[18:01] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix> sudo apt-get  install nautilus
[18:02] <DieseL`nix> i'm up to date apparently
[18:02] <Legendario> ikonia, how do i do that? When i try to do it, my computer always crashes...
[18:02] <daemon3_opera> Is there an application for Ubuntu that can complete a song tag just by "listening" to the song?
[18:02] <ikonia> Legendario: how are you doing it to make your computer crash ?
[18:02] <ikonia> daemon3_opera: cdb's normally pickup song tracks for you
[18:02] <chriswr> ks3 it says requested operation requires superuser privilege
[18:02] <mahesh> ikonia: ok plz tell me how to create a root user
[18:02] <ikonia> chriswr: sudo
[18:02] <ks3> chriswr: sorry... sudo dpkg -i ...

[18:02] <ikonia> mahesh: it already exists
[18:02] <daemon3_opera> Well, I have a CD that I burned from iTunes with a whole bunch of different artists.
[18:02] <ikonia> !sudo | mahesh
[18:02] <chriswr> oh ok
[18:03] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix> are you running hardy?
[18:03] <xhunter> Hello
[18:03] <DieseL`nix> no gutsy
[18:03] <Jeruvy> ah thats why
[18:03] <DieseL`nix> hardy worked fine
[18:03] <DieseL`nix> ??
[18:03] <DieseL`nix> eh?
[18:03] <DieseL`nix> hardy worked though?
[18:03] <localgod11> is there a good mce channel?
[18:03] <bsund_> I get complaints when running apps from /opt, i guess there is some problem with apparmor, is there any information somewhere how to fix it?
[18:03] <DieseL`nix> gutsy is broken
[18:03] <Jeruvy> !punctuation >DieseL`nix
[18:03] <ikonia> localgod11: join #freenode and ask for help on channel searching
[18:04] <xhunter> I'm new to Linux , and i downloaded a game but i don't know how to install it
[18:04] <ikonia> DieseL`nix: the fix looks like it's hardy only at the moment
[18:04] <xhunter> Please any help ?
[18:04] <daemon3_opera> Is there an application for Ubuntu that can complete a song tag just by "listening" to the song?  I have a CD with a whole bunch of different artists burned with iTunes, and iTunes didn't do a good job attaching tags to the songs.
[18:04] <Legendario> ikonia, i try to open nautilus as root again and click on the bin icon...
[18:04] <mahesh> ikonia: ok
[18:04] <ikonia> daemon3_opera: cdb applications can normally work that out for you
[18:04] <enzotib> daemon3_opera: Picard Tagger from MusicBrainz
[18:04] <DieseL`nix> that's a bit silly because hardy worked fine, the bug is in gutsy
[18:04] <ikonia> !trash | igor_
[18:04] <Fenix|work> Greetings
[18:04] <ikonia> oops
[18:04] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix, you may have to upgrade the nautilus manually on gutsy...
[18:04] <ikonia> !tash | ikonia
[18:04] <DieseL`nix> even on the latest iso!
[18:04] <ks3> daemon3_opera: The only apps like that I know of are highly proprietary. I don't think there are any free ones.
[18:04] <Fenix|work> anyone using Parallels with Ubuntu?
[18:05] <ikonia> Legendario: look in /root/.local/share/Trash
[18:05] <lucas_> hey people, i was customizing my ubuntu for making an iso with remastersys, i got to do all but one thing... how do i set default gnome wallpapers and start progrmas so when i create any other account it has the all settings i want and not the defaults by ubunt?
[18:05] <DieseL`nix> when you say manually, you mean?
[18:05] <chriswr> ks3: it gave me some errors and says package imagemagick is not installed inbetween all the errors
[18:05] <Legendario> ikonia, ok. brb
[18:05] <Killer--Tux>  hello
[18:05] <Veros> how do I disable screen saver in console
[18:05] <Killer--Tux> is there a way to make ubuntu fluxbox
[18:05] <Veros> it blanks the screen after some time
[18:05] <ks3> chriswr: You can install imagemagick with sudo apt-get install imagemagick, then try again
[18:05] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: using deb package manager, sorry I'm not that versed in it.
[18:05] <Killer--Tux> or does it have to be kde
[18:06] <icqnumber> !info mplayer
[18:06] <localgod11> I need a ubuntu mce
[18:06] <bazhang> Veros, sure just install fluxbox and change in login session
[18:06] <ikonia> Killer--Tux: there is a flux box package if you search the repo's
[18:06] <xhunter> !hop xhunter
[18:06] <icqnumber> !info gmplayer
[18:06] <icqnumber> !info gplayer
[18:06] <xhunter> !help
[18:06] <Killer--Tux> ikonia what is repo's
[18:06] <ikonia> Killer--Tux: open you package manager
[18:06] <Veros> bazhang: fluxbox? no other way? I'm not using kdm
[18:06] <xhunter> !commands
[18:06] <lucas_> how can i setup default gnome properties for any other user I add????
[18:06] <Legendario> ikonia, yes, they are in a file folder
[18:06] <ikonia> Legendario: there you go
[18:06] <msl> icqnumber: gmplayer is usually part of mplayer
[18:07] <NCommander> I'd like to help find someone to sponser me for an upload into Ubuntu
[18:07] <ikonia> lucas_: /etc/skel is the skel directory for new users
[18:07] <xhunter> !seen xhunter
[18:07] <xhunter> ;)
[18:07] <NCommander> wrong room :-P
[18:07] <ikonia> NCommander: look at #ubuntu-motu
[18:07] <NCommander> YEah
[18:07] <bazhang> Veros, sorry was for Killer--Tux
[18:07] <Geoffrey2> ah, it appears Hardy-Backports sent down the latest beta of Flash 10...and I'm running into several flash applications that aren't expecting to see Flash 10, so they're telling me I don't have the required flash 9 installed.....
[18:07] <DieseL`nix> Jeruvy, is there a .deb for it then?
[18:07] <NCommander> Just realized I was in the wrong one >.<;
[18:07] <ikonia> NCommander: no problem, easy done
[18:07] <xhunter> !hack me please
[18:07] <Veros> so how do I disable screen saver?
[18:07] <ikonia> xhunter: please stop
[18:07] <chriswr> ks3: ok got it running , thnx
[18:07] <ikonia> !msgthebot | xhunter
[18:08] <icqnumber> msl, thank you
[18:08] <Legendario> ikonia, thank you very much, man
[18:08] <xhunter> ikonia : ok
[18:08] <ikonia> Legendario: no problem, easy mistake to make
[18:08] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, yea, I did it!!!
[18:08] <jeeves__> gordonjcp, I resized my root partition.  took forever, but it's done
[18:08] <Mr_Bad_News> is there a way to make an mp3 from an avi?
[18:08] <mahesh> ikonia: iam not able play movie in my ubuntu 8.04 inspite i hav many players
[18:08] <ikonia> Mr_Bad_News: mencoder
[18:09] <ikonia> mahesh: have you installed the codecs
[18:09] <Mr_Bad_News> how /
[18:09] <carlos> !System>Administrator
[18:09] <chriswr> ks3: one more thing , you know the code to install a file called kfceu-2.0.4.tar.gz?
[18:09] <Mr_Bad_News> the syntax
[18:09] <ikonia> Mr_Bad_News: mencoder is a massive application, check out the docs
[18:09] <mahesh> ikonia: ya i did
[18:09] <lucas_> ikonia, but thats where is stored all gnome defaults?
[18:09] <ikonia> chriswr: check if the compiled version is in the repo's
[18:09] <Legendario> ikonia, the problem is that i didn't know where the root trash folder was located
[18:09] <ikonia> lucas_: normally ~/.gnome2
[18:09] <ks3> chriswr: You can extract the file contents with tar - tar xvzf file_name, but it's probably source code...
[18:09] <mahesh> ikonia: i only see a green screen
[18:09] <Legendario> ikonia, thanks again
[18:09] <mahesh> ikonia: my mouse pointer gets struck
[18:10] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: I don't know I don't play that way :)  If I was you, I'd dist-upgrade to hardy.  If I didn't want to do that (and I really would), I'd stick to using fstab to avoid nautilus.  But since neither are to your liking....I'd get the deb for nautilus and manually install it.  (this I wouldn't do).
[18:10] <Philian> Can anyone help me setup partitions? I'm new to ubuntu and I'm not sure how to setup it to how i liked it in windows
[18:10] <lucas_> ikonia, thats the point, i want to modify gnome defaults for any new user I add
[18:10] <mahesh> ikonia: but iam able to pay musics
[18:10] <chriswr> ks3: yeah , it said source code when i downloaded it
[18:10] <ikonia> lucas_: so do it in the skel dir
[18:10] <atlef> !install Philian:
[18:10] <mahesh> ikonia: but iam able to play musics
[18:10] <atlef> !install | Philian:
[18:10] <lucas_> ikonia, thanks man
[18:10] <ikonia> mahesh: your probably missing the right codec
[18:10] <DieseL`nix> Jeruvy, why do you think the .ded route is a bad idea?
[18:10] <Philian> thanks atlef
[18:10] <chriswr> ikonia: i dont think it would be in repos cause i downloaded it
[18:10] <ks3> chriswr: Ahh, then it will need to be compiled and installed before it's of any use. You'd be better off looking for a package.
[18:11] <mahesh> ikonia: then how to find the right codec...
[18:11] <ikonia> chriswr: have you looked inthe repos
[18:11] <Jeruvy> DieseL`nix: what difference would my opinion make ;)
[18:11] <bazhang> mahesh, codec for what
[18:11] <msl> ikonia: what kind of file is it?
[18:11] <chriswr> ikonia: ill check
[18:11] <ikonia> mahesh: run "file" against it, it normally gives some sort of info
[18:11] <ikonia> msl: what ?
[18:11] <xhunter> ikonia : can i pm you ?
[18:11] <ikonia> xhunter: please chat in the channel
[18:12] <mahesh> ikonia: no info is given after the codec is got
[18:12] <msl> ikonia: mpg, mov, avi, etc?
[18:12] <chriswr> ikonia: nope, its not in there
[18:12] <MeniShevitz> @all: anybody has experience getting the heron running on the Medion 1000/Gigabye u60 umpc?
[18:12] <ikonia> msl: it's not my file, speak to mahesh
[18:12] <MeniShevitz> i've had zero luck getting the Gigabyte drivers to work
[18:12] <MeniShevitz> :(
[18:12] <chriswr> ikonia: just google installing source code package?
[18:12] <DieseL`nix> Jeruvy, you seem pretty against it, I'm sure you have a good reason? lol I don't want to do it if it's going to bugger something else up
[18:12] <ikonia> chriswr: why ?
[18:12] <ks3> chriswr: To build from source, you'll need to install the build-essential package as well
[18:12] <ikonia> chriswr: what is the package called please.
[18:12] <bazhang> !compile | chriswr
[18:12] <xhunter> ikonia : Can i ask you about something in ubuntu ?
[18:13] <ikonia> xhunter: please do
[18:13] <chriswr> ikonia: kfceu-2.0.4.tar.gz
[18:13] <ikonia> xhunter: but please ask in the channel

[18:13] <xhunter> and i want a compiler
[18:13] <puller> can some one help me get my track pad to work on my dell xps m1530 laptop
[18:13] <ikonia> chriswr: looks like your right, I can't see it in the repo
[18:13] <ikonia> xhunter: ok
[18:13] <Philian> atlef: it still doesn't help me understand what i want to do
[18:13] <xhunter> in windows i use DEV++ to edit it and compile it
[18:13] <mahesh> msl:??
[18:13] <ikonia> xhunter: gcc is available pre-compiled in ubuntu
[18:13] <atlef> !partition | Philian:
[18:14] <chriswr> ikonia: well ill figure it out when i get back from working , thnx
[18:14] <magnus|msc> does anyone know a tool for video-converting into x264 with ac3/dts sound and subtitles, which can be switched off ???
[18:14] <MeniShevitz> umpc help here please umpc help here please umpc help here please
[18:14] <ikonia> chriswr: if you untar it there is normally a README file listing how to install
[18:14] <rtwez334> xhunter: apt-get install build-essential
[18:14] <xhunter>  apt-get install gcc = installed
[18:14] <xhunter> yes

[18:14] <magnus|msc> is there a package ?
[18:14] <xhunter> ikonia : and then how can i run it
[18:14] <ikonia> xhunter: gcc
[18:14] <chriswr> ikonia: lol just noticed that thnx
[18:14] <ikonia> xhunter: thats the command
[18:14] <MeniShevitz> prob'ly, i'm on os x atm though
[18:15] <atlef> Philian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[18:15] <xhunter> gcc will not prevoque it :)
[18:15] <MeniShevitz> so i can't check to repositories for you
[18:15] <mahesh> msl:: vob and avi
[18:15] <ikonia> xhunter: gcc is the correct command to launch gcc
[18:15] <xhunter> gcc: no input files
[18:15] <xhunter> ikonia : gcc: no input files
[18:15] <ikonia> xhunter: it sounds like your not confident building software in linux
[18:15] <ikonia> xhunter: what are you trying to build ?
[18:15] <stwange> I want to backup my server (including mysql databases) - it's Ubuntu 7.10, no X, what should I use?

[18:16] <magnus|msc> stwange, rsync ^^
[18:16] <atlef> stwange: try clonezilla
[18:16] <rtwez334> xhunter: gcc is not a gui. a compiler doesn't need a gui.
[18:16] <Firefishe> ikonia:  Dating, Software Build Style:  ./configher/him && make && make out  ;-)
[18:16] <ikonia> Firefishe: what ?

[18:16] <Firefishe> ikonia:  sorry, pbly  better in offtpic

[18:16] <xhunter> rtwez334 : i know :) thx anyway

[18:17] <The-Compiler> rtwez334: I don't need a gui?!? xD
[18:17] <MeniShevitz> it's virtualdub
[18:17] <rtwez334> xhunter: simplest form is: gcc -o program program.c
[18:17] <MeniShevitz> nandub was an offchute
[18:17] <DGtlRift> Where should I look if I have a white screen on a fresh install?
[18:17] <magnus|msc> but virtualdub is windows-software, isn't it ?
[18:18] <xhunter> rtwez334: it is resolved :) thx i can type man gcc
[18:18] <The-Compiler> DGtlRift: when excatly do you have a white screen
[18:18] <xhunter> :)
[18:18] <bazhang> !info virtualdub
[18:18] <rtwez334> The-Compiler: no. you run in screen :)
[18:18] <bazhang> MeniShevitz, there is no such package
[18:18] <krabador> what can i do for make audio quality better?
[18:18] <MeniShevitz> hmmm... gimme a sec all

[18:20] <Delano> Hi... how do I terminate an unresponsive program?
[18:20] <krabador> i've a sounblaster live card, alsa driver , hardy heron, music playback quality is very lower than windows
[18:20] <Mr_Bad_News> i set firefox to use a black background with white text but now whenever theres an upload buttong its black and i cant see it , is there anyway to fix it

[18:20] <Thirtycakes> killall "program"
[18:20] <alex_c> Just installed ubuntu 8.04 on a dell optiplex.  Install was error-free, but grub errors out with "error 5" during the reboot sequence.  Any suggestions?
[18:20] <bazhang> mahesh, open synaptic and install it
[18:20] <MeniShevitz> sounds right
[18:20] <ak5-> Delano: in a Terminal:  kill `pidof PROGRAMNAME`
[18:21] <Delano> thanks
[18:21] <bazhang> MeniShevitz, if you have no credible advice then refrain from offering any.
[18:21] <mahesh> oh can i find that ubuntu-restricted-extras there??
[18:21] <magnus|msc> it seems, avidemux isn't able to open dvd images ...
[18:21] <Delano> where can I go to learn more about linux in general?
[18:21] <bazhang> mahesh, yes
[18:21] <ak5-> Delano: when in X you can exec "xkill" and klick on the unresp. programm, too
[18:21] <Delano> Is there a site, some book, etc?
[18:21] <bjordan> how can I add sounds to keypresses?
[18:21] <atlef> alex_c: This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle
[18:22] <bjordan> like a clicking noise
[18:22] <bjordan> through software
[18:22] <grant_> When I pop in an audio CD, rythmbox will detect it and display all of the tracks, but when I press play, it refuses to play them
[18:22] <krabador> someone can read me?
[18:22] <ak5-> Delano: try the ubuntu documentation ;)
[18:22] <atlef> krabador: ?
[18:22] <ak5-> krabador: yes, anyone
[18:23] <krabador> can i make audio qualiti better in anyway?
[18:23] <MeniShevitz> @bazhang - i gave my two cents, which were credible advice, though not a complete solution.
[18:23] <Delano> ak5-: I did, but it's a bit basic... it covers mainly desktop stuff, but I wanna get more technical
[18:23] <alex_c> atlef: it's a 250 Gb hard drive, and a recent dell optiplex 740.
[18:23] <DGtlRift> System boots and displays the logo, but shortly after starting everything, the screen goes bright white, but plays audio.
[18:23] <sigma_12> what happened to intrepid alpha 2?
[18:23] <magnus|msc> i use handbrake at the moment, but mp4-files with x264-video and ac3-passthrou can't be played by mplayer and vlc ... and the subtitles can't be switched off :-(
[18:23] <grant_> Can anyone help me?
[18:23] <bazhang> MeniShevitz, telling people to install windows software is not good nor credible advice
[18:24] <krabador> with a soundblaster live , alsa driver in hardy , audio quality is very lower than windows....
[18:24] <mahesh> bazhang:: ok then i'll try
[18:24] <atlef> alex_c: ok, it was the first hit on google
[18:24] <ak5-> Delano: well, try http://www.tldp.org/
[18:24] <atlef> !grub | alex_c:
[18:24] <MeniShevitz> @bazhang - i remembered there being a linux port of virtualdub. i was wrong, but a quick search produced similar software for linux.
[18:24] <MeniShevitz> i've linked the correct thread.
[18:24] <Xcaliber009> can you do an fsck from the kubuntu live CD?

[18:30] <atlef> Jeruvy: that did me a whole lot of good
[18:30] <xnv> hansemann: So, the Linux Volume Manager? Not, for instance, a Linux Virtual Machine.
 : i undersantd now thx

[18:30] <Jeruvy> atlef: your welcome
[18:30] <xhunter> now *
[18:30] <magnus|msc> atlef, what is pulseaudio ??
[18:30] <redbull_> join
 i can use gcc :)
[18:30] <hansemann> yea
[18:30] <mahesh> aptoncd?? i dont understand
[18:30] <atlef> !pulseaudio | magnus|msc:
 i use bluefish like an editor i think he is the best
[18:31] <bazhang> !info aptoncd | mahesh
[18:31] <magnus|msc> ah ...
[18:31] <anto> Heya
[18:31] <anto> im having alot of problems trying to mount usb devices
[18:31] <magnus|msc> ... dont know how it works on my machine :D
[18:32] <anto> i just dont know what they are called in /dev/*
[18:32] <rtwez334> xhunter: no pm please
[18:32] <xhunter> rtwez334 : ok
[18:32] <mahesh> bazhang:: ok i'll search for aptoncd
[18:32] <bazhang> mahesh, it makes an archive you can create and then use on your friends computer
[18:32] <grosshans> hi! Does anybody have problems with cd/dvd drive on hardy? My laptop crashes after a short while when trying to transfer files from cd or while watching a dvd
[18:33] <msl> anto: usually sda, sdb, sdc, etc.
[18:33] <atlef> magnus|msc: i want it to work on my htpc, paid alot for the cable
[18:33] <msl> anto: after plugging in check dmesg to see which device name is has
[18:33] <xhunter> rtwez334 : If you have some free time mybe you can come to my chanel . We'll talk more about C there :)
[18:33] <anto> msl ok what grep parameter should i use?
[18:33] <magnus|msc> vlc -f --spdif <movie> works fine for me ...
[18:33] <mahesh> bazhang:: ok  thanks
[18:34] <xhunter> rtwez334 : irc.2600.net #computertalk
[18:34] <msl> anto: I always check dmesg and the messages will be the last output
[18:34] <atlef> does anyone here use spdif out with hardy, and have it working? it worked with gutsy.
[18:34] <bazhang> mahesh, so make sure your computer can do all those things (ie with codecs) then use aptoncd to create the archive from your installation
[18:34] <hansemann> so i have to format to use LVM2?
[18:35] <geek_inn2> how do i start pulse audio
[18:35] <geek_inn2> i only see volume manager aka sound volume control
[18:35] <Rik_T> Hi all, I've got a problem with my screen resolution, I can't it higher than 800x600 (need 1280x800). I can't select any different driver than VESA Driver (generic), which was first nvidia. It happened when trying to use a second screen (with ubuntu screen settings). My videocard is: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7150M (rev a2)
[18:36] <xhunter> does anyone know a perl editor ?
[18:36] <kerm|t> why would processes be getting stuck in congestion_wait for a few minutes?
[18:36] <bill_> hello
[18:36] <krabador> i can't make audio quality better????
[18:36] <Fenix|work> Is 'Likewise Open' included in the hardy multiverse?
[18:37] <anto> msl, yea i got the new "changes" but i dont know what they mean?
[18:37] <atlef> geek_inn2: install pavucontrol for more pulseaudio controls
[18:37] <gordonjcp> xhunter: any kind of editor you like
[18:37] <xhunter> I discovered a new method in ubuntu about resolving host probleme ;)
[18:37] <atlef> krabador: is it broken or just lower or...?
[18:37] <anto> krabador, maybe you got your pcm to high?
[18:37] <geek_inn2> apt-get install pavucontrol
[18:37] <geek_inn2> ?
[18:37] <tia> athman_skomara
[18:37] <hansemann> anybody here that can help me with LVM2?
[18:38] <atlef> geek_inn2: yes
[18:38] <___Max> I need to get the necessary packages to install wine 1.1.1, how do I do this?
[18:38] <mahesh> bazhang:: ok  thanks
[18:38] <bazhang> np
[18:38] <sensae> My wireless works, and WEP works, but I can't connect to a WPA network
[18:38] <Rik_T> Hi all, I've got a problem with my screen resolution, I can't it higher than 800x600 (need 1280x800). I can't select any different driver than VESA Driver (generic), which was first nvidia. It happened when trying to use a second screen (with ubuntu screen settings). My videocard is: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7150M (rev a2). Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance. :)
[18:38] <krabador> atlef, anto, is very lower than windows....
[18:38] <rsa_md5> I'm trying to load the topcoder applet but instead it throws up a java control panel and a applications cache viewer :(
[18:38] <xnv> hansemann: Care to explain what it is you are trying to accomplish? It sounded like you were trying to partition your hard disk without formatting it.
[18:38] <atlef> krabador: well, nothing to do about that as far as i know
[18:38] <anto> krabador, what has that got to do with it?
[18:39] <newk> anyone installed ubuntu 8.04 with wubi?
[18:39] <xhunter> Does anyone knows how can i put my chanel into the list of chanels .( it is registered_
[18:39] <xnv> hansemann: Which doesn't make any sense if you want to be able to use it
[18:39] <Rik_T> newk: I did.
[18:39] <anto> krabador, what mode/soundsystem you use?
[18:39] <anto> 5.1?
[18:39] <krabador> anto, alsa driver
[18:39] <xhunter> new :  I installed ubuntu 8.04
[18:39] <krabador> 2.1
[18:39] <wols> xhunter: don't make it secret, but: #freenode
[18:39] <hansemann> i want to install LVM2 on my ubuntu server without formatting it. i have read that you have to use the alternate cd to install it with the LVM option.
[18:40] <anto> krabador, make sure that the output you are using is the pulled upto max and control via "master"
[18:40] <trakinas> these are the msgs on auth log... it could be useful for seeing what is wrong that i cannot access my svn... http://pastebin.us/?show=d1f823098
[18:40] <krabador> anto, tes.
[18:40] <krabador> yes
[18:40] <trakinas> btw, why are these characters all messed up???
[18:40] <xnv> hansemann: LVM a volume manager. It manages disk space. What do you think it does?
[18:40] <anto> msl...
[18:41] <Rik_T> Hi all, I've got a problem with my screen resolution, I can't it higher than 800x600 (need 1280x800). I can't select any different driver than VESA Driver (generic), which was first nvidia. It happened when trying to use a second screen (with ubuntu screen settings). My videocard is: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7150M (rev a2). Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance. :)
[18:41] <Sylphid|work> RIk_T, do you have nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-settings installed?
[18:41] <Rik_T> Sylphid|work: I'll try installing those. :)
[18:42] <hansemann> so i can just install LVM now without any formating?
[18:42] <anto> msl, i still dont get it?
[18:42] <xnv> hansemann: LVM is not a program.
[18:43] <xnv> hansemann: It is a way to store data on your hard drive. It involves using a partition editor.
[18:43] <newk> Rik_T: u dont happen to know how to set ubuntu as the default option?
[18:43] <hansemann> yea. i heard that you could use it to make one partition on two harddrives. so thats why im asking.
[18:43] <sensae> Why can't I connect to a WPA network?
[18:44] <Rik_T> newk: No, sorry, I don't.
[18:44] <PrimoTurbo> Hey guys I needed to edit the sudoers files with visudo, whats the shortcut to save the file?
[18:44] <xnv> hansemann: You have to have free space on your hard drive to create an LVM.
[18:44] <___Max> I need to get the necessary packages to install wine 1.1.1, how do I do this?
[18:44] <NTolerance_> PrimoTurbo: ctrl+o
[18:45] <PrimoTurbo> thnx where do i find the rest fo the shortcuts
[18:45] <trakinas> NTolerance_: not with vi
[18:45] <hansemann> so my root drive doesnt need to be lvm?
[18:45] <NTolerance_> nano is default on recent ubuntu installs
[18:45] <trakinas> NTolerance_: ohhh! awesome
[18:45] <hansemann> or partition
[18:45] <xnv> hansemann: I'm not sure what you think "formatting" means, but if you have free space, you have to "format" it to use it. So, creating an LVM without formatting your disk is completely useless.
[18:45] <NTolerance_> at least gutsy and hardy are that way, not sure about anything older
[18:45] <franzi> is anyone here who can speak german??????????
[18:45] <rogue_trader> franzi, yes me
[18:45] <bazhang> !de | franzi
[18:46] <PrimoTurbo> I dont think it's ctrl+o in visudo
[18:46] <grant_> Ich spreche ein bisschen deutsch....
[18:46] <PrimoTurbo> thats for nano
[18:46] <NTolerance_> right
[18:46] <jpds> !de | grant_
[18:46] <rogue_trader> franzi, oder so
[18:46] <new2nix> could someone please tell me how to search my entire server( dedicated running ubuntu) for all files over 3gb in file size. Ive lost a file and really need to find it
[18:46] <PrimoTurbo> or wait nvm it's not for nano nano is ctrl + w
[18:46] <trakinas> PrimoTurbo: shift+ : w
[18:46] <xnv> hansemann: I don't see why it would.
[18:46] <PrimoTurbo> not shift+ w
[18:46] <trakinas> PrimoTurbo: in nano control+w = search
[18:47] <PrimoTurbo> wait
[18:47] <trakinas> PrimoTurbo: no. is shift plus two-points plus w
[18:47] <PrimoTurbo> I need visudo shortcuts
[18:47] <NTolerance_> in vi just hit ESCAPE, COLON, WQ, ENTER
[18:47] <PrimoTurbo> ctrl+o doesnt work
[18:47] <NTolerance_> writes file and quits editor
[18:47] <trakinas> PrimoTurbo: read last NTolerance_ msg
[18:48] <xnv> new2nix: If you're using Ubuntu, you may have Disk Usage Analyzer under Applications > Accessories
[18:48] <trakinas> NTolerance_: i keep forgeting taht ; is called colon
[18:48] <Sylphid|work> newk, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-c205c4f58cdcc9bcbdc1bcdb17c1e7ca0eb79756

[18:48] <PrimoTurbo> NT thanks that worked

[18:48] <trakinas> !de | franzi
[18:49] <newk> thanks sylphid
[18:49] <xnv> new2nix: Are you using Ubuntu?
[18:49] <kyncani2> new2nix: man find. Something like "sudo find / -type f -size +3G 2>/dev/null". (something like that ;)
[18:49] <AndrewGearhart> anybody have any suggestions why my "Lock Workstation" keyboard shortcut will no longer respond?
[18:49] <sensae> Why would my system connect to wep but not wpa?
[18:50] <new2nix> xnv: yes i have a dedicated server with ubuntu installed on it, but so far i have not got the front end gui to work (im very new to unix)
[18:50] <snarkster> sensae have you installed the wpa-supplicanmt?
[18:50] <sensae> Let me double check
[18:50] <PeterP24> maybe I'm in the wrong channel -> is there a dedicated channel for graphic cards?
[18:50] <NTolerance_> speaking of vi and nano and visudo
[18:50] <NTolerance_> this is how you change the default editor
[18:50] <NTolerance_> update-alternatives --set editor /bin/nano
[18:51] <sensae> snarkster: Already newest version
[18:51] <atlef> sensae: and does the card support connecting to wpa
[18:51] <snarkster> new2nix on linux dedicated servers dont use X, its all command line
[18:51] <new2nix> snarkster: well that explains that then lol
[18:51] <snarkster> new2nix which makes them faster than windows servers.
[18:51] <sensae> atlef: Support? It's in a brand new (2 weeks old) laptop. Yes, it supports it, lol
[18:52] <snarkster> sensae lol
[18:52] <atlef> sensae: ok, how would i know it was new
[18:52] <atlef> sensae: i have had problems with older laptops
[18:52] <Sylphid|work> new2nix, if you want to install a gui do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:52] <snarkster> sensae to be honest I have NEVER gotten wpa to work for me, so if you figure it out please let me know
[18:53] <axisys> how to install qemu with kqemu on hardy heron? the robot link is for older version
[18:53] <kyncani2> new2nix: what is your server for ? In a pro environment or for personal use ?
[18:53] <snarkster> !qemu
[18:53] <new2nix> snarkster: I see. so can you help me with my problem?
[18:53] <new2nix> could someone please tell me how to search my entire server( dedicated running ubuntu) for all files over 3gb in file size. Ive lost a file and really need to find it
[18:54] <AndrewGearhart> at what point does the x session start? I installed numlockx thinking that it would make it so that numlock would already be turned on for login... but meh... not so much
[18:54] <kyncani2> new2nix: man find. Something like "sudo find / -type f -size +3G 2>/dev/null". (something like that ;)
[18:54] <axisys> snarkster: u did not read my post

[18:54] <axisys> ali__: help is given to you.. have fun
[18:54] <ali__> axisys: what?
[18:54] <icewaterman> 10% of the wakeups from C3 state are due to hal checking for an external usb cdrom that is not connected
[18:54] <sensae> Does anybody have wpa working? Broadcom chipset or not. This decides whether or not I have to go back to Windows
[18:54] <new2nix> kyncani2: just a personal server

[18:55] <axisys> snarkster: how to install qemu with kqemu on hardy heron? the robot link is for older version
[18:55] <___Max> I'm trying to compile the latest wine (From the tar.gz available), on ubuntu 8.04. The problem is, I'm missing a ton of packages. Is there an easy way to just install the required packages so I can successfully compile wine?
[18:55] <kyncani2> new2nix: well, then you'd be better of just installing the destkop version. That way you will get a graphical interface and all kind of tools/apps too.
[18:55] <atlef> !wireless > sensae:
[18:55] <new2nix> kyncani2: when i run your command... it brings up 2 files neither of which are the files i require, but I know the file exists somewhere as my used disc space has gone up by 12gb
[18:56] <snarkster> axisys ah..
[18:56] <AlphaTwin> Hey, I just created an ext3 file with mfst.ext3, and partitioned it with fdisk. I can mount the file with no problems - but how do I get access to the other partition?
[18:56] <snarkster> shrug
[18:56] <new2nix> kyncani2 but if it a dedicated server how would I view the desktop? how would I "login" to view it? what would I use?
[18:56] <xnv> new2nix: find / -type f -size +1000M -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $8 ": " $5 }'
[18:57] <NTolerance_> anyone know how to get rid if excess join/part messages in irssi?
[18:57] <NTolerance_> i see one setting in the docs called show_quit_once, but i'm not sure exactly what it does
[18:57] <ali__> zomg please help T_T i think i broke ubuntu!
[18:57] <BadRobot> hi there
[18:57] <xenomorph99> Hi - could do with some help, please? Trying to encode a H.264 movie with FFMPEG and it's complaining that libx264 can't be found despite the library being installed
[18:57] <axisys> NTolerance_: read /help ignore
[18:57] <wols> NTolerance_: /ignore them
[18:57] <kyncani2> new2nix: if it's a file over 3G, the command i gave you will show it. Bear in mind that +3G means all files over 3G, so 2.9G files won't show up
[18:57] <NTolerance_> read /help ignore
[18:57] <NTolerance_> heh
[18:57] <Rik_T> Sylphid|work, you were the one who adviced me to install nvdidia-glx-new and nvidia-settings, aren't you?
[18:57] <````bulldogg> I know I am being stupid but can someone direct me to a script that I can run that will install most of the software you use.... kind of like the perfect desktop on howtoforge but all in a script?
[18:57] <snarkster> new2nix after you have configured the dedicated server you wuld connect with a diferent computer
[18:58] <new2nix> kyncani2 the file is about 12gb.... your command shows: 15:18: 12G
[18:58] <new2nix> 17:20: 12G
[18:58] <new2nix> i guess these are the files i need
[18:58] <new2nix> snarkster: connect how? via a URL?
[18:58] <Sylphid|work> Rik_T, yes
[18:58] <new2nix> kyncani: but how do i find where they are located
[18:58] <BadRobot> try http://www.xda-developers.com/ xenomorph99
[18:58] <snarkster> new2nix nah with a mapped drive, is this a dedicated fileserver?
[18:59] <NTolerance_> looks like /ignore QUITS is what i want right?
[18:59] <ali__> guys help needed, how do i find broken packages in synaptic?
[18:59] <kyncani> new2nix: the command i gave you should show the full path
[18:59] <Rik_T> Thank you very much, it worked perfectly! :)
[18:59] <````bulldogg> trying to set a machine up but I can't sit here and babysit it so I am looking for a script I can start and just walk away

[18:59] <sensae> It was the oddest thing
[18:59] <ozzcomet> hi guys. i want to install ubuntu 8.04 lts x64 desktop on a raid1 array and i am not sure if this is supported through the gui installer. i've tried it already but i haven't managed to make it work. any suggestions?
[18:59] <new2nix> kyncani nope.. gives me an error.... and then just those two files
[18:59] <new2nix> 15:18: 12G
[18:59] <new2nix> 17:20: 12G
[18:59] <xnv> new2nix: Again... find / -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $8 ": " $5 }'
[18:59] <eraldo> greetings... please help me... all of a sudden things don't work correct anymore...
[18:59] <Rik_T> Sylphid|work, Thank you very much, it worked perfectly! :)
[18:59] <sensae> Yesterday morning I had WPA working - I come back from work and it says it's "connected" to my network but refuses to actually connect
[18:59] <xenomorph99> Hi - could do with some help, please? Trying to encode a H.264 movie with FFMPEG and it's complaining that libx264 can't be found despite the library being installed
[19:00] <atlef> ali__: under edit there is a "fix broken packages" have you tried it
[19:00] <snarkster> ali__ just click edit and fix broken packages
[19:00] <eraldo> maximizing and opening menus got really slow !
[19:00] <ali__> kk
[19:00] <Sylphid|work> Rik_T, good to hear!
[19:00] <eraldo> what could have done that
[19:01] <ali__> tried that
[19:01] <atlef> sensae: have you done a disconnect and then reconnect?
[19:01] <eraldo> plus one app is not able to work in fullscreen anymore !
[19:01] <kyncani> new2nix: that's why i told you you may better install a regular ubuntu desktop and use it like a server, that way you will have access to some graphical tools that may be easier to use. The find command does work but if you just want to use a console login, then you have to read documentation (manpages, errors, ...)
[19:01] <pasteeater> i compiled x264 with --prefix=/usr and the binary was installed to /usr/bin, but ubuntu thinks it's in /usr/local/bin.  Why?
[19:01] <snarkster> i could someone help with a one line script
[19:01] <ali__> and still have 1 broken package
[19:01] <new2nix> kyncani: i get the following error: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/sys: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.  Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched
[19:01] <snarkster> I need to ocr 972 tiff using tesseract..
[19:01] <sensae> atlef: I did a full restart
[19:01] <atlef> ok
[19:01] <kyncani> new2nix: don't worry about /proc/sys, your file is not there
[19:01] <eraldo> this gets me really mad
[19:01] <ali__> nvm
[19:02] <ali__> found it!
[19:02] <eraldo> everything slowed down
[19:02] <AndrewGearhart> anybody? I can't get key combinations set for locking the workstation to work (as of within the last 24-48 hours)
[19:02] <eraldo> was there a general problem or is it on my machine only
[19:02] <new2nix> kyncani: ok but the file IS somewhere?
[19:02] <snarkster> for i in *.tiff do tesseract %1 %1.txt -l eng, done (but this doesnt work)
[19:02] <tennispolska> How do I install drivers??? Such as the nVidia graphics card driver????
[19:02] <kyncani> new2nix: if the file is somewhere, then "find / -type f -size +3G"
[19:02] <atlef> sensae: have you tried to open the network manager and re-entered the connection info, as in ssid and password?
[19:02] <tennispolska> I'm new
[19:03] <sako> Anyone know of a better alternative for nm-applet? I got rid of my gnome-panels and am only running AWN. the system tray for AWN is still really ugly.
[19:03] <kyncani> new2nix: if the file is somewhere, then "find / -type f -size +3G" *will* show it. If it does not, then you don't have a +3G file.
[19:03] <``Cube> the biggest lol game I've ever seen. http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/7857100/ I heard the servers run on ubuntu!
