[07:54] <wariskampar> Anyone experience Gnome_Do consume 70-80% CPU resource
[07:55] <AlexW> why are addresses assigned in reverse whe nusing dhcp3-server
[07:55] <Durendal> im trying to install ubuntu on a used computer i bought from my work and it starts out ok i select to install then i get "Loading Please Wait... | /init: /init: 1: Syntax error: 2 - 1 | [ 33.603866] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[07:55] <Durendal> | = new line
[07:55] <Durendal> any suggestions? im fairly new to linux
[07:55] <gluonman> Durendal, think it's a problem with the live CD?
[07:55] <wariskampar> Gnome-Do slow down my system
[07:55] <amdpox> Finnish, I thought fileroller supportred sit
[07:56] <amdpox> wariskampar, it's a ram hog here
[07:56] <Durendal> i thought so at first i have one of an older version i had shipped to me then i burnt one of the new version
[07:56] <MeVsTheVoices> | = new line !?!
[07:56] <MrDudle> i wish i could open .lit files on ubuntu :(
[07:56] <Finnish> So how do I unpack it?
[07:56] <Durendal> seem to get the same error on both so im thinking it may be something else
[07:56] <gluonman> Durendal, otherwise, if it's an older computer with slower hardware, you may want to burn a copy of the alternate text-based version so the installation itself uses less resources.
[07:56] <gluonman> see if that works.
[07:56] <Durendal> hmmm kk ill give it a shot
[07:56] <Durendal> thanks a lot :)
[07:56] <wariskampar> amdpox, me too, only CPU usage the most critical
[07:56] <gluonman> no prob
[07:56] <wariskampar> amdpox, do you have any idea
[07:57] <wariskampar> leakage etc
[07:57] <amdpox> wariskampar, nope, it never uses CPU here when it's not onscreen
[07:57] <amdpox> Finnish, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX
[07:57] <wariskampar> amdpox, it happened to me since a few days ago
[07:57] <amdpox> wariskampar, any change in desktop environment/window manager?
[07:58] <amdpox> are there multiple instances of gnome-do running?
[07:58] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
[07:58] <darkbishop> kevin_:didnt u ask this before.. seems like no one know
[07:59] <wariskampar> amdpox, nope (as far as I remember)..use Ubuntu HH+compiz+Gnome 2.24
[07:59] <kevin_> darkbishop, yea -- i keep posting in hopes someone will catch it
[07:59] <RedWolfLH> well.. a reboot of X fixed that.. I dont have them set to clone, but I'm still unable to launch programs in each independent X screen.  If I open it on my left screen it opens up the program on my right screen.  Seems like the only screen capable of running stuff is my primary screen and the toher just servers as extra desktop space.. They still seem cloned :(
[07:59] <wariskampar> amdpox, sorry...Gnome 2.22
[07:59] <amdpox> wariskampar, no idea then
[08:01] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: You just have to twiddle with it...make sure that in nvidia-settings you have "X Screen 0" and "X Screen 1" . I'm sorry I don't remember the details, this happens to me every once and again when messing about with the drivers and fiddling about in there solves it. I just don't recall the exact procedure, sorry
[08:01] <abeeky> exit
[08:01] <milligan> kevin_, no luck :-\
[08:02] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, yes they are X Screen 0 and X Screen 1
[08:02] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Well, if you want to pastebin your xorg.conf i can compare it to mine
[08:02] <RedWolfLH> okay ushi
[08:03] <kevin_> milligan, does your disk drive read *any* disk?
[08:03] <wariskampar> amdpox, nv but if you're curious, i'm looking at this bug report
[08:03] <wariskampar> amdpox,
[08:03] <wariskampar> https://answers.launchpad.net/do/+question/32494
[08:03] <milligan> kevin_, well, the disk boots.. so it reads till the linux kernel takes over.
[08:03] <wariskampar> sorry..not bug report
[08:03] <ASrock> how do i configure grub  to chainload the windows bootloader?
[08:04] <kevin_> milligan, do you reach an error other than "no disk found" -- and did you try researching this on google/ubuntu forums?
[08:04] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, http://pastebin.ca/1211282
[08:04] <dwa_> i just did an apt-get update and some firefox components got upgraded, including xulrunner. Now my thunderbird isn't working properly; i can't write new e-mails anymore. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
[08:04] <Flannel> ASrock: There's actually an example in the menu.lst
[08:04] <milligan> kevin_, it doesn't say no disk found .. it says no cd-rom is found!
[08:06] <SaS`> has anyone heard of firefox causing a system to lockup ?
[08:06] <kevin_> milligan, the only advice i can give to you is keep researching and/or ask again in here. My guess is that the linux kernal does not have access to the appropriate drivers needed for reading from the CD-ROM.
[08:07] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: You have 2 cards, one on each monitor?
[08:07] <RedWolfLH> no 1 card
[08:07] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Your xorg.conf defines two cards
[08:08] <kevin_> milligan, god luck and sorry I can't be of more help to you.
[08:08] <kevin_> milligan, good*
[08:08] <RedWolfLH> uhmn i think that was the only way to get dual screens back in dapper
[08:08] <RedWolfLH> It's a dual head card tho
[08:08] <fallore> does linux have some limit as to the size of flash drives it recognizes? a 4gb one works no problem, but 8 gb of the same exact type doesn't.
[08:09] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: When you complete the nvidia settings are you "merging" the changes or saving a brand new file? (It looks like you are "merging" them
[08:09] <RedWolfLH> Saving
[08:09] <bullgard4> fallore: I believe that 32 bit Linux has this limit but 64 bit Linux not.
[08:10] <Flannel> that's only for RAM
[08:10] <blue-frog> jim_p: edit ~/.dmrc and fill in Language=fr_FR.UTF-8   adapt to your language
[08:10] <fallore> bullgard4: i'm on 32 :[
[08:10] <joustin> Anyone know a user by the name of SecurityTester?
[08:11] <Flannel> fallore: There's no limit, assuming its FAT32.
[08:11] <Flannel> well, FAT32 has a limit of 2TB, which we haven't quite reached in flash drives just yet
[08:11] <fallore> Flannel: i don't know if it is. it's a u3 drive, which means it has this software that allows you to install programs on it that you can run off the drive on any windows computer.
[08:12] <jim_p> blue-frog: ~/.dmrc?
[08:12] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, do you think you can provide me with an updated Xorg.conf without the risk of me not being able to use my gui lol
[08:12] <blue-frog> jim_p: yes in your user's folder
[08:12] <jim_p> blue-frog: .dmrc has only 2 lines there
[08:12] <blue-frog> jim_p: yes. add a third line
[08:12] <jim_p> blue-frog: i was thinking about .bashrc
[08:13] <blue-frog> nopee
[08:13] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: I have 2 cards / 3 monitors and 3 diff xorg.conf (Middle monitor only, Xinerama, Twinview + Separate X Screen) - I don't think you want any of those directly :)
[08:13] <blue-frog> jim_p: well maybe you could, but the .dmrc way is straight forward
[08:13] <dwa_> i just did an apt-get update and some firefox components got upgraded, including xulrunner. Now my thunderbird isn't working properly; i can't write new e-mails anymore. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
[08:14] <jim_p> blue-frog: thanks
[08:15] <Flannel> dwa_: do you have hardy-proposed enabled?
[08:15] <RedWolfLH> :\ so what can I change so I can run programs on my 2nd screen?
[08:16] <dwa_> Flannel: no i haven't
[08:17] <RedWolfLH> I'mma afk and smoke a cigarette >.<
[08:17] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Hold on I will set mine up dual monitor only on one card. Please be patient
[08:17] <Kai> Hello
[08:18] <Flannel> dwa_: Have you checked to see if theres a bug about it?
[08:18] <Kai> Anyone free? My Firefox seems to have crashed and will not work again,,
[08:20] <jim_p> Kai: uninstall it (sudo apt-get remove firefox --purge) and delete the ~/.mozilla folder . you will lose any settings and bookmarks though
[08:20] <Flannel> purging 'firefox' won't do anything, it's just a metapackage.
[08:20] <Flannel> Also, don't delete, just rename.
[08:20] <Kai> jim_p: I will try, I am not worried about lost settings or bookmarks, however. It just will not open at all
[08:21] <Kai> Furthermore, It seems my CD drive thinger won't mount:?
[08:21] <wariskampar> amdpox, i found the bug report
[08:21] <wariskampar> amdpox,
[08:21] <bags><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:21] <Kai> ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
[08:21] <Kai> is the error I keep getting
[08:21] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, <3 thank you
[08:21] <wariskampar> https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/270437
[08:22] <Flannel> bags: Please don't do that.
[08:22] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Alright: this is what I am running right now and it works, 2 separate X screens on 1 card: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/50761/
[08:22] <blue-frog> jim_p: if you wish to load the keyboard corresponding to the language, you will need to add a file with stxkbmap fr (adapt) in ~/.config/autostart
[08:22] <wariskampar> seem like this problem happen after Gnome-Do latest update
[08:22] <jim_p> blue-frog: thanks. it seems like a lot of hussle :(
[08:23] <blue-frog> jim_p: no it's not
[08:23] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, just because I'm an idiot which portion of that should I copy or just use verbatim what is there?
[08:23] <Flannel> Kai: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/273883
[08:23] <Flannel> Kai: seems you need to make sure firefox is actually closed
[08:23] <Kai> Thats creeping me out, Flannel, It just loaded that page, on firefox.
[08:23] <jim_p> blue-frog: i mean the whole procedure
[08:23] <jim-20-m-sby> w
[08:23] <jim_p> anyway
[08:23] <Kai> However, the Firefox at the bottom displays to FF icon
[08:23] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Don't copy any of it! I have different cards and monitors than you do! *MODIFY* what I posted to match your equipment!
[08:24] <sbeh> hi, "localedef --no-archive --magic=20051014 -i en_US -c -f UTF-8  en_US.UTF-8" hangs at 100% cpu reproducable and "strace -p `pidof  localedef`" gives no output, what can i do to determine whats  causing this problem?
[08:24] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, forgive me  lol
[08:24] <Flannel> Kai: right.  You'll need to close all of them, forcefully if necessary.
[08:24] <dwa_> Flannel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/274672
[08:24] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, i'm only relaly good with non-gui linux..so when you add all this gui stuff it changes my whole world lol
[08:24] <blue-frog> jim_p: well if you wish a different language for each user, it's only a matter of one file. the keyboard can stay the same except if they have the real keyboard
[08:24] <Kai> Ah,,, One more question then, Flannel? My CD/DVD drive not able to open the input CD? (CD in like-new condition, never had a problem playing the same disc before)
[08:24] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Well, I'm not good with any of it, but I keep trying :)
[08:25] <blue-frog> jim_p: it all depends on what you want and what your users want
[08:25] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  lol i'll make sure to keep ym xorg.bak :-p
[08:25] <pshm> привет! кто нибудь знает че это может быть Argh. No free space left for GC. nr_erasing_blocks is 0
[08:25] <pshm> в гугле ниче толкового не нашел =(
[08:25] <Flannel> !ru | pshm
[08:25] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: alright keep at i am going to reboot so i can get back to 3 monitor glory
[08:26] <Kai> I wish I knew that language, pshm :(
[08:26] <jim_p> blue-frog: sadly, they want their os to be translated so they can understand it directly
[08:26] <joko> boy
[08:26] <Kai> Yes?
[08:27] <Ububegin> i see this symbol  appear quite often in the ebooks... Does anyone else have had this problem.. Is my ubuntu system missing some font or something
[08:27] <blue-frog> jim_p: sounds legitimate to me, are they in different countries?
[08:27] <Kai> Flannel: How do I force close FF?
[08:27] <pshm> Kai
[08:27] <sbeh> Kai: xkill
[08:27] <jim_p> blue-frog: no, they are next door to me
[08:27] <SaS`> ;\
[08:27] <Flannel> Kai: ps aux | grep firefox   then kill [pid] where pid is the second column
[08:28] <blue-frog> jim_p: so that means they all have the same keyboard. you don't need to tweak it then?
[08:28] <Kai> No windows shown on taskbar, beh
[08:28] <milligan> kevinO, found the fault
[08:28] <sbeh> Kai: than Flannel's way.
[08:28] <jim_p> blue-frog: possibly
[08:28] <blue-frog> jim_p: how many users?
[08:28] <Kai> Flannel, I have no idea what you just said :(
[08:28] <sbeh> Flannel: pgrep firefox
[08:28] <Ububegin> the funny is that when i type in "" in google.. it appears as "??" .. Anyone with any clue
[08:28] <fallore> 90% of websites won't load, google works, google can search, msn logs in, aim won't log in. just reset my IP, any ideas?
[08:29] <amdpox> Kai, type "killall firefox" in a terminal
[08:29] <Kai> fallore: Blacklisted from router?
[08:29] <sbeh> Kai: pkill firefox (but this is dangerous, because it kills all programs with firefox in its name
[08:29] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, they seem identical
[08:29] <fallore> Kai: i can't imagine, it worked a minute ago and just suddenly stopped
[08:29] <jim_p> blue-frog: 2. in fact 2 categories of users, the german speaking ones (3) and a greek speaking one
[08:29] <Kai> fallore: Restart web browser?
[08:30] <blue-frog> jim_p: 2 users? :) you can do that by hand then
[08:30] <fallore> Kai: no effect
[08:30] <Kai> Thank you, sbeh!
[08:30] <Ububegin> Does anybody have any clue....
[08:30] <Kai> fallore: Proxy set?
[08:30] <amdpox> fallore, could be a DNS issue
[08:30] <fallore> Kai: nope
[08:30] <Kai> amdpox :( i was getting there,
[08:30] <fallore> amdpox: how do i find out/resolve?
[08:30] <Kai> fallore: @amdpox
[08:31] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: What was your pastebin link again? I lost it when i restarted X
[08:31] <Kai> Now to install Adobe Flash player?
[08:31] <jim_p> blue-frog: by hand?
[08:31] <amdpox> fallore, try loading http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ in a browser
[08:31] <RedWolfLH> http://pastebin.ca/1211282
[08:31] <blue-frog> jim_p: one after another
[08:31] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, http://pastebin.ca/1211282
[08:32] <fallore> amdpox: 404 not found
[08:32] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  if you ignor ethe commented out lines they're pretty much the same minus the Hardware differences
[08:32] <jim_p> blue-frog: ok i will give it a shot
[08:32] <zabeehkhan> how can I start or stop a service .. for example mysql?
[08:32] <amdpox> 404? that means it's getting to the server but apache's refusing because of the lack of a domain
[08:32] <fallore> amdpox: which means? :-/
[08:32] <amdpox> DNS issue
[08:33] <fallore> amdpox: any idea how to resolve?
[08:33] <amdpox> probably a temporary issue with your dns server
[08:33] <amdpox> for now you could add another to your list
[08:33] <zabeehkhan> how can I start or stop a service .. for example mysql?
[08:33] <fallore> amdpox: then the remedy is a cereal break. i'll brb, thanks for your help
[08:33] <zabeehkhan> I would use #service mysqld start on fedora
[08:33] <blue-frog> zabeehkhan: system/administration/services
[08:33] <zabeehkhan> ok
[08:34] <amdpox> zabeehkhan, if you want to do it from CLI, use /etc/init.d/mysqld stop/start/restart
[08:34] <blue-frog> zabeehkhan: or in console: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql
[08:34] <zabeehkhan> ok.. :)
[08:34] <amdpox> the services menu checkboxes turn them on/off permamently, ie for next boot
[08:36] <fallore> i did "sudo make me a sandwich" in terminal but it didn't work :-x
[08:36] <Kai> :( its
[08:36] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Yeah, I can not spot a difference either. I sure did test it though, different backgrounds, different apps open and so forth.
[08:36] <neil_d> why does the alternative CD install grub when the server CD installs lilo for the same filesystem layout ?
[08:36] <Kai> sudo make install sandwich
[08:36] <Kai> (:
[08:36] <fallore> oh thanks
[08:36] <Kai> heh
[08:36] <Flannel> neil_d: It shouldn't GRUB is default
[08:36] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  this makes me mad lol
[08:38] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: The only thing I can say is that occasionally I get that clone action happening, but it goes away when i fiddle around in nvidia settings and restart. I know that is vague and not very helpful
[08:39] <neil_d> Flannel: it did.  I have a /etc/lilo.conf and no /boot/grub directory
[08:39] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  i've played with nvidia so many times I'm about to puke lol
[08:39] <joko> hai
[08:39] <Kai> Nvidia ftw.
[08:39] <^paradox^> ok i see what i was doing wrong now while i was trying to setup a printer to be shared over our network. i believe i selected the wrong pc in the process
[08:39] <RedWolfLH> kai, nvidia ftl tonight
[08:40] <LimCore> ok I see that apparmored sucks?
[08:40] <LimCore> AppArmor
[08:40] <^paradox^> ive got the right one now but i still need a hand from somebody whos more experienced than i
[08:40] <LimCore> can one use SE Linux on ubuntu fully?
[08:40] <Kai> RedWolfLH, whats the issue?
[08:41] <RedWolfLH> Kai, my dualscreens arent working qui eright.  Everything seems to be cloned from one desktop to the next.  I can only run applications on 1 screen, and i am unable to establish individual backgrounds, they share the same one.
[08:43] <Kai> Really? :( Darn....
[08:44] <Kai> Wish I could help ^^ but I only have 2/5 speakers working, RedWolfLH
[08:44]  * RedWolfLH stabs his dualscreens
[08:44] <Kai> >.>
[08:44]  * Kai pats RedWolfLH, That only works when it's a Windoze product
[08:53] <neil_d> when installing grub, how do I get it to generate the menu.lst file ?
[08:53] <negge> neil_d: it does it automatically
[08:53] <filo1234> !purge
[08:54] <neil_d> negge: I know it should, but it wasn't lilo was installed.
[08:54] <LimCore> why ubuntu ships things like AppArmored instead of providing real security solution like selinux?
[08:54] <negge> neil_d: hmm. Did you remove lilo first?
[08:55] <neil_d> negge: no!  should grub care if lilo is installed.
[08:55] <Flannel> LimCore: Ubuntu chose to use AppArmor instead of SELinux.  It was a design choice.  You can still use SELinux though.
[08:55] <Andy80> hi all :)
[08:56] <negge> neil_d: I don't know, I never used Lilo
[08:56] <wariskampar> Flannel, what is AppArmor
[08:56] <negge> neil_d: which bootloader is in use when you boot your computer?
[08:56] <tyberion> hey there.. Im having trouble compiling a certain package because it says Package audacious wasnt found.. But actually I installed it since Im using it all the time, guess I just have to set the paths in configure..but how do I find out where my audacious stuff is located? Thanks :)
[08:57] <negge> tyberion: are you trying to compile audacious or some plugin for it?
[08:57] <tyberion> negge: compiling conky with audacious support
[08:57] <negge> tyberion: I'm sorry, I know nothing about that
[08:57] <negge> you're probably missing a dependency
[08:57] <neil_d> negge: I havn't for a long time, never with ubuntu, the new install put in lilo, it boots with lilo into ubuntu server.
[08:57] <ttwio> ubottu: ubuntu 8.10
[08:58] <negge> !intrepid | ttwio
[08:58] <LimCore> Flannel: but from what I read, AppArmored really sucks. Perhaps its bad to give users false sense of security/
[08:58] <neil_d> ttwio: see #ubuntu+1
[08:58] <ttwio> okay thanks
[08:59] <tyberion> negge: hmmm... well:/ how could I find out?
[08:59] <Flannel> !apparmor | wariskampar
[08:59] <tyberion> negge: No package 'audacious' found
[08:59] <tyberion> Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[08:59] <negge> neil_d: I think you have to uninstall Lilo first and then install GRUB. I'm not sure about this though as I've never bothered using anything but GRUB so you might wanna Google around before you do it. Make sure you have a live CD at hand in case you mess it up
[08:59] <tyberion> installed software in a non-standard prefix.

[09:03] <negge> tyberion: hehe okay
[09:04] <negge> guess it's in a weird path then. Did you install it using apt?
[09:04] <jim_p> rd1089: let me look it up. i have the huge amount of 2 ips here
[09:04] <l337ingDisorder> anyone know a way to use an .AVI file as the background for gnome-terminal?
[09:05] <SaS`> if my system completely freezes up at random is there anyway i could find a log to attempt to troubleshoot?
[09:05] <l337ingDisorder> (sorta like using xwinwrap to make the desktop a .AVI)
[09:05] <tyberion> negge: yeah, installed it that way... how can I find out the path?
[09:05] <negge> tyberion: I'm not sure.
[09:05] <jim_p> l337ingDisorder: i dont think gnome-terminal (or any other terminal) will give you that option
[09:06] <negge> tyberion: I'm gonna install it just to find out
[09:06] <negge> don't have anything better to do anyway
[09:06] <l337ingDisorder> SaS`: first thing to check with random freezing or random reboots is memory. Boot to an Ubuntu LiveCD and choose the option to test the memory with memtest86+
[09:06] <l337ingDisorder> jim_p: bugger.
[09:06] <tyberion> negge: wow.. thank you very much =)
[09:07] <jim_p> rd1089: the range is supposed to be like from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[09:07] <illuminate> Hello.  I've got a question.  I installed ubuntu on a amd PC, and for some reason its making my resolution 800 x 600, but i have ubuntu set to 1280 x 1024.  Ubuntu seems to be forcing my monitor res to drop down.  any ideas on how to fix this?
[09:07] <negge> tyberion: while you're waiting do this: "apt-get install libglib2.0-dev python-gobject-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev
[09:07] <jim_p> rd1089: you can also have a look at your router's interface
[09:07] <negge> illuminate: you real the right drivers for your GFX card
[09:07] <negge> illuminate: what card to do you ahve?
[09:07] <illuminate> it doesnt have a card
[09:08] <illuminate> onboard video
[09:08] <negge> illuminate: what kind?
[09:08] <tyberion> negge: done.
[09:08] <maxtor211> I'm getting sound in YouTube videos but not videos on Apple's website, any ideas? I'm using FireFox
[09:09] <illuminate> negge: http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?item=78019
[09:09] <negge> tyberion: the audacious file is in /usr/bin
[09:10] <rd1089> jim_p, ya its from <IP_ADDRESS> - 8.255
[09:10] <negge> illuminate: run the command "lspci | grep VGA" and paste the line here
[09:10] <negge> that'll tell you what chip you got
[09:10] <maxtor211> I'm getting sound in YouTube videos but not videos on Apple's website, any ideas? I'm using FireFox
[09:10] <illuminate> negge: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01)
[09:10] <rd1089> jim_p, i just got this reply from another channel: nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[09:11] <rd1089> its seems to work
[09:11] <HappyHater> illuminate, run 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' and setup your monitor
[09:12] <tyberion> negge: hrum, so I just edit the config file?
[09:12] <tyberion> negge: and Libs?
[09:12] <negge> tyberion: what parameters do you pass to ./configure?
[09:13] <tyberion> negge just ./configure --enable-audacious=yes
[09:13] <tyberion> for now.
[09:13] <negge> tyberion: try with just "./configure --enable-audacious"
[09:14] <tyberion> No package 'audacious' found
[09:14] <negge> also check which version of audacious you have installed ("apt-cache policy audacious | grep Installed")
[09:14] <illuminate> negge:  It doesnt have my monitor type, but when i choose another monitor type with a res. of 1280 x 1024, i get nothing.  Here is a video of what its doing ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex6FGwZxO0E )
[09:14] <tyberion> negge:  Installed: 1.5.0-2ubuntu2~hardy1
[09:14] <negge> illuminate: I don't think I can help you
[09:15] <illuminate> hmm, ok.  Thanks man!
[09:15] <HappyHater> illuminate, pick a monitor with similar specs to the one you're using
[09:15] <illuminate> ok, ill do that.
[09:15] <HappyHater> either that or edit xorg.conf manually
[09:16] <illuminate> ok, i think ill have to edit it manually.  Thanks guys!
[09:16] <negge> tyberion: I honestly don't know why it won't find it. I read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=677846 and it seems like Conky and Audacious have (atleast had) a bit of problems working together
[09:17] <negge> tyberion: then there's this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585096 , it's a deb file pre-configured, it's for Gutsy but I suppose it should work
[09:18] <HappyHater> illuminate, just make a backup before you start changing it
[09:18] <HappyHater> learned that the hard way...
[09:19] <illuminate> haha, i learned it the hard way with my other linux box.  hehe.
[09:19] <tyberion> negge: hum bud thats an outdated version :(
[09:19] <negge> tyberion: I know but it was the only thing I could find
[09:20] <neil_d> negge: I found out how to generate the file, update-grub does it.
[09:20] <tyberion> negge: configuring worx for you?
[09:21] <gnuskool> can the beanshell run applets too, or just scripts?
[09:22] <maxtor211> How do I find out what vesrion of Flash I have?
[09:22] <maxtor211> Is there a command in the Terminal?
[09:22] <maek> hi everyone .. I got a Firefox update a couple of days ago and now today I get the same Firefox updates .. why is that ??
[09:22] <Enselic> Is there any way I can cancel a started install step in the Ubuntu alternative installer?
[09:22] <maxtor211> How do I find out what vesrion of Flash I have?
[09:23] <maek> maxtor211, type "about:plugins"  without the quotes in the address bar in Firefox
[09:23] <kaushal> anybody here has worked on logrotate utility
[09:23] <maek> maxtor211, and look for Shockwave Flash
[09:23] <mitchell_ubuntu> hi all
[09:24] <kaushal> hi all
[09:24] <kaushal> I am not getting any help here
[09:24] <mitchell_ubuntu> can i ask which is the best irc client for ubuntu
[09:24] <mitchell_ubuntu> im using xchat
[09:24] <Enselic> mitchell_ubuntu: I prefer Konversation
[09:24] <HappyHater> whatever works best for you...
[09:24] <tyberion> irssi :p
[09:25] <Enselic> mitchell_ubuntu: that's for KDE, but works fine in GNOME too
[09:25] <mitchell_ubuntu> i like the miranda one
[09:25] <mitchell_ubuntu> lol
[09:25] <HappyHater> xchat has tons of support for scripting, so xchat > *
[09:25] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: i use a chatzilla addon for firefox, no need to install extra progz
[09:25] <mitchell_ubuntu> btw is it possible to order the alternate cd??
[09:26] <mitchell_ubuntu> i live in South Africa and data rates are expensive so a download is a nono
[09:26] <AlexW> who has setup a dmz befoe
[09:26] <AlexW> virtual dmz*
[09:26] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: there is a local ubuntu community that can send you the disks
[09:27] <mitchell_ubuntu> how big is the alternate cd? roughly
[09:28] <river> hello
[09:28] <maverick340> ubuntu wont even play examples media !
[09:28] <maverick340> however plays the last fm radio fine
[09:29] <msshams> difference of kubuntu and ubuntu is only in environment?
[09:29] <maek> mitchell_ubuntu, pretty much the same as the normal disc
[09:29] <mitchell_ubuntu> btw out of curiosity what is the difference between gentoo and ubuntu??
[09:29] <mboman> mitchell_ubuntu: quite a lot
[09:29] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu: different distros
[09:30] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: check these sites http://www.linux.org/groups/southafrica.html
[09:30] <^paradox^> im still trying to get a printer setup to be shared over a network
[09:30] <mboman> mitchell_ubuntu: in Gentoo you will spend a lot of time compiling stuff from sources
[09:30] <^paradox^> after double checking my steps i saw what i was doing wrong. i had selected the wrong computer
[09:30] <mitchell_ubuntu> anyone here from south africa?
[09:30] <maek> Gentoo is just too hard to deal with .. ubuntu is so easy
[09:30] <^paradox^> ive got the right one now but i still need a hand with this
[09:30] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu: if you want non-support chatter, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:30] <mboman> mitchell_ubuntu: supposed to make it code more optimized, but I haven't seen the real-world benefit of it
[09:30] <mitchell_ubuntu> i deleted windows yesterday
[09:30] <maek> mitchell_ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth is from South Africa
[09:30] <^paradox^> ok i did new printer
[09:30] <^paradox^> selected windows printer via samba
[09:31] <mitchell_ubuntu> i know that
[09:31] <^paradox^> browsed for smb printer and found it this time on the right computer
[09:31] <^paradox^> hen i verified and it said this print share is accessible
[09:31] <mitchell_ubuntu> but i wanted to ask if what ordinary citizens feel about our new president
[09:31] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-za thats the SA channel
[09:31] <maverick340> i cant see any of the computers on the network :-/
[09:31] <^paradox^> now im at a dialog where i must choose to select printer from database or provide ppd file. i have the driver cd for the printer. its from here on that im humbly ;-) asking for help
[09:31] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu I've just asked you to take off-topic support chat elsewhere
[09:31] <maek> mitchell_ubuntu, how well known is the Ubuntu brand in South Africa ??
[09:31] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu: this channel is for ubuntu support questions only
[09:31] <AlexW> who has used ubuntu to setup a dmz
[09:32] <ikonia> maek: please - stop the offtopic chatter
[09:32] <mitchell_ubuntu> KK seeyah all
[09:32] <mboman> I am looking for a C/C++ IDE that allows you to "follow" the source code (ie: if someone calls function foo() I can jump to the source code where function foo() is created)
[09:32] <ikonia> AlexW: many times
[09:32] <mitchell_ubuntu> not very big,
[09:32] <AlexW> ikonia: Lol hello again.
[09:32] <river> hi, I have some problem about ping
[09:32] <ikonia> mboman: thats nothing that will let you follow the source code of compiled code,
[09:32] <river> can anyone help me?
[09:33] <ikonia> mboman: eclipse has some debugging tools
[09:33] <ikonia> river: what's the issue
[09:33] <mboman> ikonia: no, not compiled
[09:33] <mitchell_ubuntu> most of the population need to earn how to turn on a computer first. lol. kk g2g before i get kicked
[09:33] <Stormx2> Hi.
[09:33] <river> root@ncam# ping ncam

[09:33] <river> root@ncam#
[09:33] <river> bad address
[09:33] <river> ^^"
[09:33] <ikonia> mboman eclipse is plausable
[09:34] <amdpox> river, you need it in /etc/hosts I believe
[09:34] <river> i am not familier with irc
[09:34] <AlexW> river, whats in /etc/hostname ?
[09:34] <^paradox^> but i will need a hand
[09:34] <river> can we use whisper?
[09:34] <ikonia> river you need name resolution, I'd make an assumption that you don't have any name resolution setup, so add your hostname with the correct ip address (<IP_ADDRESS> normally safe) to /etc/hosts
[09:34] <river> ncam
[09:34] <maek> ikonia, "so whats everyone doing on the weekend" <<------- off topic  "Ubuntu in South Africa" <<----- sidetracked
[09:34] <ikonia> AlexW: what's the issues again
[09:35] <ikonia> maek: I'm not arguing with you - it's off topic - please drop it
[09:35] <bazhang> maek, please chat elsewhere

[09:36] <AlexW> ikonia: No issue, im just asking if thats the best way to do it, cause i dont want to run two servers, im trying to prevent compromised services gaining access to my local network, ive read up about shorewall, and know how to do it, but i just dont know which is the most realiable tool for running guest os;es
[09:37] <ikonia> AlexW I rate kvm, others would have different opinions
[09:37] <river> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50777/
[09:37] <river> my /etc/hosts
[09:37] <ikonia> river: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:37] <river> yes
[09:37] <AlexW> ikonia: I need to have a desktop to run kvm correct?
[09:37] <ikonia> AlexW: no
[09:38] <river> ikonia: yes, i can ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:38] <ikonia> river: and if you type "ping ncam"
[09:38] <vogelscheuche> ahoy everyone... im trying to partition my new hdd...

[09:38] <river> root@ncam# ping ncam
[09:38] <river> ping: bad address 'ncam'
[09:38] <river> root@ncam#
[09:38] <river> ikonia: I got "bad adress"

[09:39] <AlexW> Is a "virt-viewer" avaliable for windows :/
[09:39] <river> root@ncam# ping ncam.localdomain
[09:39] <river> ping: bad address 'ncam.localdomain'
[09:39] <river> root@ncam#
[09:39] <river> ikonia: same, "bad adress"
[09:39] <kjs> anyone know of any open source document managment software?
[09:40] <ikonia> kjs: svn ?
[09:40] <AlexW> ikonia: Is a "virt-viewer" avaliable for windows :/
[09:40] <ikonia> AlexW: I don't know ?
[09:40] <ikonia> river: thats most unusual, your two name references are failing
[09:40] <kjs> ikonia: svn ? lol
[09:41] <ikonia> kjs: why is that funny, it's an excellent tool for document managment/versioning
[09:41] <ikonia> river: can you "ping localhost"
[09:41] <river> ikonia: yes, i got a trouble

[09:42] <river> oh
[09:43] <river> ok, thx
[09:43] <ikonia> river: are you running ubuntu ?
[09:43] <AlexW> river: Are you running ubuntu on a router?
[09:43] <utnubudnai> what should I do with "/elf.h:396: error： expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘loff_t"
[09:43] <river> ikonia: no,
[09:43] <ikonia> river then why are you in an ubuntu support channel
[09:43] <^paradox^> im trying to setup a printer to be shared over our network. this pc runs ubuntu 8.04. my wifes pc with the printer runs vista home
[09:43] <river> ikonia: but still linux
[09:43] <ikonia> utnubudnai what are you trying to build
[09:43] <ikonia> river: this is not "linux support" this is ubuntu only support
[09:43] <^paradox^> after double checking my steps i saw what i was doing wrong. i had selected the wrong computer
[09:44] <vogelscheuche> what kind of encryption is used when im installing ubuntu with an encrypted LVM? please halp :/
[09:44] <^paradox^> ive got the right one now but i still need a hand with this
[09:44] <^paradox^> i did new printer
[09:44] <utnubudnai> ikonia, i want to build a simple module!
[09:44] <ikonia> utnubudnai: which module
[09:44] <river> ok, thanks for ur answer
[09:44] <^paradox^> selected windows printer via samba
[09:44] <utnubudnai> ikonia, a module of my own!
[09:44] <^paradox^> browsed for smb printer and found it this time on the right computer
[09:44] <ikonia> utnubudnai: a kernal module
[09:45] <utnubudnai> ikonia, just a test!
[09:45] <utnubudnai> ikonia, yeah!
[09:45] <^paradox^> then i verified and it said this print share is accessible
[09:45] <ikonia> utnubudnai: so you must knwo what you've doing then, why are you asking ?
[09:45] <^paradox^> now im at a dialog where i must choose to select printer from database or provide ppd file. i have the driver cd for the printer. its from here on that im humbly ;-) asking for help
[09:46] <zebraf> Hi, when I move around using the cursor keys in vi the letters abcd, i.e pressing down changes to the letter B - any ideas why this is ;) ?
[09:46] <AlexW> ikonia: So how do you view a virtual guest from another machine
[09:46] <ikonia> utnubudnai: if your writing kernel modules, you must know how to solve that error, or at least understand what it is
[09:46] <ikonia> AlexW: bridge network connection, which sort of defeats the object of your DMZ idea
[09:46] <hateball> ^paradox^: Have you checked if the printer is included in the database?
[09:46] <nero_> Question: Do I need firewall & virus scanner for ubuntu?
[09:46] <Enselic> nero_: nah
[09:46] <ikonia> nero_: your call, depends on your needs
[09:47] <^paradox^> which database?
[09:47] <hateball> !antivirus
[09:47] <utnubudnai> ikonia, but now I don't know it,do you have any ideas?
[09:47] <_coredump_> HUMPPA!
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: you did know - but now you don't
[09:47] <utnubudnai> what?
[09:47] <nero_> i just found firestarter recommend me to install it?
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: you've made a call to something in your code - but you don't know what/how ?
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: tell the truth - have you wrote this kernel module
[09:47] <Enselic> nero_: since you're asking, no
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: or is it someone elses
[09:47] <^paradox^> oh i know what u mean
[09:47] <webfarmer> hey guys, I know this is isn't specific to ubuntu, but you guys are smart - I've deleted a bunch of files on one of my hard drives on a windows platform - what is the best way to recover files?
[09:48] <ikonia> webfarmer: thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[09:48] <^paradox^> mines psc 1110, but it only goes to 1100
[09:48] <nero_> But how can I controll which programm connects to which server?
[09:48] <bazhang> webfarmer, ##windows
[09:48] <ikonia> webfarmer: please take that to an appropraite channel
[09:48] <webfarmer> windows recovery doesn't work
[09:48] <RoflCoptr> ask in another channel
[09:48] <HappyHater> it's windows, who cares
[09:48] <ikonia> HappyHater: thats not the attitude
[09:48] <^paradox^> hateball: anyways ive got the driver cd
[09:49] <^paradox^> but no idea what id be looking for on it
[09:49] <utnubudnai> ikonia, no it's my own!very simple!
[09:49] <HappyHater> it is for those of us who don't use it
[09:49] <ikonia> utnubudnai: so you've made an include to elf.h then
[09:49] <ikonia> utnubudnai: you may want to join #kernel for kernel intergration help with your own modules
[09:49] <webfarmer> I hate windows, but I need to get these files back
[09:49] <bazhang> webfarmer, this is the wrong place to ask
[09:50] <ikonia> webfarmer: sorry - this is not the place for windows support
[09:50] <Geeth> paradox, what pc is the printer hooked up to?.
[09:50] <webfarmer> it's not windows support
[09:50] <utnubudnai> ikonia, yeah,good! thank you!
[09:50] <webfarmer> it's file recovery
[09:50] <ikonia> webfarmer: enough now
[09:50] <HappyHater> webfarmer, so google it
[09:50] <ikonia> webfarmer: it's nothing to do with ubuntu, so not appropriate in this channel.
[09:50] <webfarmer> I have
[09:50] <^paradox^> its on my wifes pc that runs vista home
[09:50] <webfarmer> got some really weird software packages
[09:50] <webfarmer> even went on download.com and those programs help for nothing
[09:51] <ikonia> webfarmer: last warning - stop asking/discussing it
[09:51] <^paradox^> i already found it on her pc
[09:51] <dwa_> anyone else having thunderbird issues this morning?
[09:52] <ikonia> dwa_ in what way
[09:52] <^paradox^> now im at the dialog asking for ppd
[09:52] <nero_> robot/ user SecurityTest just sent me: <SecurityTest> dcc send startkeylogger 0 0 0
[09:52] <webfarmer> ikonia there's no windows room
[09:52] <hateball> ^paradox^: a .ppd file. sometimes you have to install it in windows and then pull it from the windows dir.... but easiest is just checking the manufacturers website
[09:52] <ikonia> webfarmer: ##windows
[09:52] <^paradox^> i dont whether to get it from database or driver cd
[09:52] <ikonia> nero_: report it to freenode staff if your not happy with it
[09:53] <dwa_> ikonia: i can't type new emails
[09:53] <dwa_> ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/274672
[09:53] <ikonia> dwa_: you'll need to be more descriptive than that
[09:53] <^paradox^> what type of file am i looking for?
[09:53] <dwa_> i experience the same bug
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_ what server are you connecting to, is it not connecting to the server and waiting for a time out
[09:54] <^paradox^> i mean what extension might it have or how will i recognize it?
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_: selecting inbox makes it connect to the server
[09:54] <dwa_> i can read my inbox messages just fine
[09:54] <dwa_> so it's connecting to my server
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_ no - thats not what I meant
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_: your inbox is cached locally
[09:55] <dwa_> no, i use imap
[09:55] <fk> hi- i have 20 boxes running xp sharing a folder, i have trouble because of xp limitation on the nmber of connection. i want to switch the shared folder to alinux box. what is the minimum hardware requirment if 20 boxes will connect to it at the same it (and that box will also be used as a workstation - it needs a gui)
[09:55] <webfarmer> ikonia be great if they gave me the attention you gave me
[09:55] <ikonia> yes you inbox is cached locally
[09:55] <ikonia> webfarmer: please stop now
[09:55] <ikonia> dwa_ thunderbird caches inbox even with imap
[09:55] <ikonia> dwa_: get someone to send you a new mail and see if it comes through
[09:55] <dwa_> ikonia: ok, didn't know that. I already tested that and the mail arrives fine
[09:56] <dwa_> my account works just fine with outlook (in my virtual machine)
[09:56] <ikonia> dwa_ forget other clients - just concentrate on thunderbird
[09:56] <ikonia> dwa_: just because outlook can connect doesn't mean thunderbird can
[09:56] <ikonia> dwa_: close thunderbird, re-open it, don't cliek on inbox and try to hit "new message"
[09:57] <nero_> what's a good theme to get for ubuntu? I'm looking for something simple & clean
[09:57] <RudyValencia> nero_: try some of the other default ones.
[09:57] <bazhang> nero_, check gnome-look.org
[09:57] <ikonia> nero_: gnome-look.org
[09:57] <nero_> thx all
[09:57] <dwa_> ikonia: not working. I'd like to point out i also get a xul error when i right click on my toolbar and select customize
[09:58] <ikonia> dwa_ I suggest you add that to the bug
[09:58] <dwa_> ikonia: will do
[09:59] <dwa_> ikonia: i don't think something is wrong my with settings or server connections. It only started this morning after i apt-get upgraded.
[10:00] <ikonia> dwa_ fine, put that int he bug report
[10:00] <dwa_> it installed a few firefox packages (including xulrunner)
[10:00] <ikonia> dwa_: that bug reprot has no meat in it, your telling me all this detail, put the detail in the bug report
[10:00] <dwa_> it's not my bug report
[10:00] <ikonia> so ?
[10:00] <dwa_> i linked because i have the same issues
[10:00] <ikonia> dwa_: your suffering the same issue, add to it
[10:00] <dwa_> i'll ad a comment
[10:00] <ikonia> as much detail as possible
[10:01] <ikonia> as much "fact as possible
[10:01] <ikonia> webfarmer: any reason you've not been in ##windows and your still lurking here ?

[10:06] <MaxJays> what process is using sh?
[10:06] <MaxJays> GParted?
[10:07] <ikonia> MaxJays: it's s shell
[10:07] <MaxJays> it cant be killed
[10:07] <ikonia> MaxJays: look if it has a parent/child pid
[10:07] <ikonia> MaxJays: how are you trying to kill it ?
[10:07] <nero_> how do i get root?
[10:07] <MaxJays> in system monitor
[10:07] <perlsyntax> where can i find the pidgin deb package for the pidgin 2.5.1?
[10:07] <MaxJays> i rightclick, then kill process
[10:07] <ikonia> nero_: you don't
[10:07] <CoW_fs> nobody know globus toolkit 4?
[10:08] <ikonia> perlsyntax: check if it's in the ubuntu repo's
[10:08] <nero_> program asks me for root to update.
[10:08] <ikonia> perlsyntax: use the package manager to search for it
[10:08] <ikonia> nero_: put in your user password
[10:08] <perlsyntax> i have no lucky with that
[10:08] <ikonia> perlsyntax: then it's not packaged up by ubuntu yet
[10:08] <hateball> perlsyntax: try getdeb.net if you _really_ must have it
[10:08] <nero_> when i click update it simply displays the box: you need root. No option for pw.
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: as your not responding to your pm's - please don't pm me in future, it's not considerered polite to randomly pm people in the channel
[10:09] <hateball> perlsyntax: but thats not supported by ubuntu
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: what are you trying to update
[10:09] <nero_> ClamTk Virus Scanner
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: run it with gksudo
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: gksudo $command
[10:10] <vallhalla81> i just had a msg pop up in mirc program it said dcc send startkeylogger 0 0 0 should this hapen?
[10:10] <LimCore> is AppArmor for noobs?
[10:10] <vallhalla81> mirc should read my irc
[10:10] <Guest80645> hello
[10:10] <JonathanD> vallhalla81: pleae don't repeat that here.
[10:10] <ikonia> vallhalla81: thats nothing to do with ubuntu, please take that to #freenode if your not happy
[10:11] <JonathanD> vallhalla81: it's part of an exploit and is being dealt with.
[10:11] <ikonia> LimCore: n00bs is not a nice term, anyone can use appamour if they read the docs
[10:11] <JonathanD> no need to take it to #freenode, we're already on it.
[10:11] <ikonia> JonathanD: thank you
[10:11] <HappyHater> old exploit
[10:11] <vallhalla81> ok thank you for the info JonathanD:
[10:12] <LimCore> ikonia: I ment, is it bad software that gives false sense of security
[10:12] <ikonia> LimCore no, it's not
[10:12] <ikonia> LimCore as you've used it before, and your in the appamour channel, you know about this, so as usuanl, please don't start a troll session
[10:12] <gabbler> hi can someone tell me the free tool to keep folders in sync that i can also use across the network, i think it is something like unison?
[10:12] <LimCore> ikonia: but it seems it is - ie http://securityblog.org/brindle/2006/04/19/security-anti-pattern-path-based-access-control/ and others
[10:12] <vallhalla81> JonathanD: is it any thing i should worrie about or can self fix?
[10:12] <bazhang> gabbler, rsync?
[10:13] <JonathanD> vallhalla81: don't worry about it. if it affected you, you would have been disconnected :)
[10:13] <ikonia> LimCore: this is your one and only warning for today - you know what appamour is, you know this is not an ubuntu support question, so either participate with the channel, or don't bother at all
[10:13] <vallhalla81> JonathanD: ah thats ok then:)
[10:13] <nero_> ikonia: what am I doing wrong? nero@nero-laptop:~$ gskudo$ '/home/nero/Desktop/clamtk.desktop'
[10:13] <nero_> bash: gskudo$: command not found
[10:14] <ikonia> nero_: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu
[10:14] <gabbler> bazhang, thanks i knew that one but that isn't it :)
[10:14] <nero_> ubuntu
[10:14] <ikonia> nero_: gksudo - sorry
[10:14] <ikonia> nero_: my typo
[10:14] <nero_> thx
[10:16] <gabbler> bazhang, looked at the rsync page and it goes to unison, strange google failed
[10:17] <bartmon> Hey! How do I thank a person for his post on ubuntuforums.org?
[10:17] <AdvoWork> hi there, im trying to setup a bridge, and ive restarted networking and it says device br0 already exists; cant create bridge with the same name, where would this be exactly?
[10:19] <pppZero> does 8.04 use pulseaudio now?
[10:20] <ikonia> always has
[10:20] <pppZero> thought so, theres just nothing in the audio menu, so i was lost
[10:21] <AlexW23> Who has experience with bridging
[10:22] <AlexW23> My question, why does the bridge i created take the same ip from dchp as the network interface it is bridged off
[10:22] <AlexW23> If you need my conf let me know
[10:23] <pppZero> i've never used bridging, but i'd say at a guess its getting the same lease because its sending the same MAC address
[10:26] <CaptJager> after 3 days and 5 differnent versions I now have filemaker pro working with wine
[10:27] <krishna_> I am facing audio problems in.04 ubuntu 8
[10:27] <krishna_> I  tried with soft phones like twinkle, zoiper, counterpath etc. but none of them are working
[10:28] <CaptJager> now anyone know how to remove an item in wine so it is not in the startup menu I tried uninstalling but doesnt work
[10:28] <negge> CaptJager: did you use Wines own uninstall utility?
[10:28] <krishna_> anyone know which soft phone shud i use for ubuntu 8.04?
[10:28] <CaptJager> nope
[10:28] <ikonia> krishna_: any that are in the ubuntu repos
[10:28] <CaptJager> where is that
[10:28] <negge> CaptJager: that's the way you're supposed to uninstall Wine programs
[10:28] <negge> CaptJager: it's directly under the Wine menu
[10:28] <ikonia> CaptJager: you just removed it by deleting it off the disk ?
[10:29] <CaptJager> yes I did try that
[10:29] <ikonia> CaptJager: it's in the wine menu - probably next to the icon you want to remove
[10:29] <afallenhope> hey having a small issue installing virtualbox. was wondering if anyone could give me a pointer or a direction as to where I can go
[10:29] <ikonia> !virtualbox
[10:29] <afallenhope> right..
[10:29] <afallenhope> however, the OSE doesn't support USB?
[10:30] <ikonia> afallenhope: I don't beleive it can do hardware interaction
[10:30] <ikonia> afallenhope: but I'm not %100
[10:30] <afallenhope> ikonia, the non free edition can..
[10:30] <ikonia> afallenhope: then use that
[10:30] <prabu> any 1 know how to set default OS ?
[10:30] <ikonia> prabu: in what sense ?
[10:30] <magnetron> afallenhope, virtualbox-ose, the version we are allowed to distribute, has that feature removed
[10:30] <afallenhope> PUEL (Personal Use & Evaluation License) Version
[10:30] <negge> prabu: you mean in the bootloader?
[10:31] <prabu> yes
[10:31] <negge> afallenhope: if you want USB support you should install VMware server instead
[10:31] <negge> prabu: you have to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[10:31] <afallenhope> negge, yeah.. but VMware has issues with the keyboard and whatnot
[10:31] <negge> afallenhope: I never had any issue
[10:31] <CaptJager> I tried that but errors out says the wizard was interupted before filemaker pro 8 could be completely installed but I am trying to remove it
[10:31] <prabu> how to edit tat ? im new to ubuntu
[10:31] <ikonia> prabu: you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, there is a line in there that says "default" then a number, the number relates to the position on your boot menu, eg: default 0 would be the first os in the list
[10:32] <x3on> hey guys, i'm having trouble using my webcam. The camera is installed and works fine, and appears in the kopete config window, but when i try to "send webcam" to someone nothing happens
[10:32] <afallenhope> negge, yeah.. apparently if you don't switch out using the "CTRL + ALT" you jack up the keymap
[10:32] <afallenhope> this is the error I get: http://pastebin.com/m4f676921
[10:32] <negge> afallenhope: that's weird. I must say I haven't used the server version on Ubuntu, but Workstation 6 has worked just fine
[10:33] <afallenhope> negge, yeah for Windows because I don't think there's workstation on Linux
[10:33] <ikonia> afallenhope: thats a kernel driver conflict
[10:33] <negge> afallenhope: yes there is, I just told you I've tried it
[10:33] <the_gamer> hi folks
[10:33] <afallenhope> ikonia, hmm how would I fix it?
[10:33] <prog077> I have RAM 256  and I want to download a Linux distribution?
[10:33] <prabu> brb . will try tat
[10:33] <the_gamer> i can't find mdb2 anywhere in the repos or in the synaptic packetmanager. how to install it best?
[10:33] <ikonia> afallenhope well, my first question is why are you installing a package out of a deb on your desktop ?
[10:34] <afallenhope> ikonia, because I need USB support
[10:34] <prabu> do i hav to run tat in terminal ?
[10:34] <ikonia> afallenhope: ok - so your using the propriatary version, which has paid support as I recall
[10:34] <negge> prog077: if you want something with the Ubuntu flavor you should probably go for Xubuntu
[10:34] <fallore> vlc media player is downloading very slowly from the package manager. i'd like to see if i can get it online faster, but i don't know what would be easiest for me to install once i've downloaded it. what should i look for?
[10:34] <afallenhope> ikonia, could be. however, figured someone could help
[10:35] <ikonia> afallenhope: best to use the official support as it looks like it conflicts with the versions in the ubuntu repo,
[10:35] <negge> prabu: open up a terminal and write "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst", then enter your password and it will open in a notepad-like program. Then you just make the changes and save the file
[10:35] <ikonia> afallenhope: make sure the version from the repo is removed before using the official one
[10:35] <afallenhope> ikonia, did that.
[10:35] <prabu> ok , brb
[10:36] <ikonia> afallenhope: an associated packages such as the kernel module package
[10:36] <prog077> ؟؟؟؟؟
[10:36] <ikonia> afallenhope: eg: virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic
[10:36] <afallenhope> oh
[10:37] <ikonia> afallenhope: if you read the error you'll see it wants to overwrite the module that is provided by virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic so removing that package should fix it
[10:37] <vallhalla81> !vm
[10:37] <afallenhope> vmware is pretty much the worse I've tried
[10:37] <AdvoWork> when you do ifconfig  what are you seeing, ie wheres the details stored that come out of ifconfig, is it ONLY /network/interfaces?
[10:38] <afallenhope> dpkg - warning: while removing virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic, directory `/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/misc' not empty so not removed.
[10:38] <ikonia> AdvoWork the config for that is in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:38] <gharz> hi, guys.
[10:38] <ikonia> afallenhope so empty it or use the force options
[10:39] <zebraf> Hi, when I move around using the cursor keys in vi the letters abcd, i.e pressing down changes to the letter B - any ideas why this is ;) ?
[10:39] <ikonia> zebraf the keys to move aruond in vi are ghjkl
[10:39] <AdvoWork> may sound a silly question, but can you basically restore an ubuntu pc back to factory default? ie everything, mainly everything todo with network connections and so on?
[10:39] <afallenhope> lol I'm retarded.. that has my vmware stuff in it
[10:39] <the_gamer> the search on help.ubuntu.com can't find anything. is there a package for mdb2 or is mdb2 included in another package?
[10:39] <gharz> i'm having a problem with my external hard drive...if i run lsusb i get a result -> Bus 004  Device 003 : ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor  Corp. USB-2.0  IDE adapter... but if i run fdisk -l it doesn't show. what could be the problem here? your help is much appreciated.
[10:40] <ikonia> AdvoWork not really no
[10:40] <fallore> how do i pause or stop a download that i'm apt-getting through terminal?
[10:40] <gharz> ctrl-C
[10:40] <ikonia> fallore: don't think you can, other than control z it
[10:40] <ikonia> gharz: no !
[10:40] <ikonia> gharz: that won't pause it
[10:40] <gharz> ok
[10:40] <gharz> ikonia, it doesn't pause. it just stop it. :_
[10:40] <fallore> nit ot
[10:40] <fallore> but it'll be okay* ?
[10:40] <ikonia> gharz that terminates the application
[10:40] <kyhros> u must first mount the usb hard druve
[10:40] <gharz>  i'm having a problem with my external hard drive...if i run lsusb i get a result -> Bus 004  Device 003 : ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor  Corp. USB-2.0  IDE adapter... but if i run fdisk -l it doesn't show. what could be the problem here? your help is much appreciated.
[10:41] <fallore> it's downloading at 5kb/s, something must be wrong
[10:41] <Bravo_52> ðóññêèå åñòü?
[10:41] <kyhros> gharz: u must first mount
[10:41] <ikonia> fallore: mirror probably running slow ?
[10:41] <gharz> kyhros: i'm just can't figure out what /dev/??? is my external hard drive.
[10:41] <zebraf> ikonia yep the arrows used to work though, same SSH client etc too -
[10:41] <ikonia> kyhros: he doesn't need to mount it to use fdisk
[10:41] <gharz> kyhros: it doesn't automount
[10:41] <kyhros> dmesg |tail
[10:41] <ikonia> zebraf: term caps changed
[10:42] <gharz> ikonia, fdisk -l doesn't detect or show the my ext hard drive /dev/??? if i would have known then it would be easy to mount it.
[10:42] <gharz> kyhros: hold on... i'll dmesg tail it
[10:42] <afallenhope> !virtualbox
[10:43] <afallenhope> ikonia, fixed it ;)
[10:43] <LimCore> is there some guide for making ubuntu desktop secure?
[10:43] <kyhros> true true
[10:43] <gharz> ikonia: the 1st line sayd [ ###.####] end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0
[10:43] <ikonia> LimCore there are some threads on the forum that offer high level basics
[10:44] <ikonia> gharz: is there a partition table on it ?
[10:44] <knut> is there a way to use animated *.icns flies with ubuntu?
[10:44] <ikonia> gharz: fidsk -l /dev/sdc ?
[10:44] <gharz> ikonia: 2nd line [ ###.#####] sd 3:0:0:1: [sdc] Result: hostbyte-DID_ERROR
[10:44] <knut> files
[10:44] <gharz> ikonia: hold on.
[10:44] <gharz> ikonia: no result when i run fdisk -l /dev/sdc
[10:45] <ikonia> gharz: something wrong with the drive, I don't know that the hostbyte-DID_ERROR is
[10:45] <gharz> so that means the hard drive is useless... :((
[10:45] <LimCore> what is current state of apparmor in ubuntu? Does it try to, uhm, secure, itnernet-facing applications like kmail, irc clients, etc? Or only given deamons etc?
[10:46] <LimCore> some wikipage I found says it doesnt yet secure (provide profiles) for non internet facing client applications?
[10:46] <LimCore> s/for non/for/
[10:46] <ikonia> LimCore I would agree with that, although, I'm not %100
[10:46] <Ziroday> LimCore: iirc, apparmor has also been disbanded
[10:46]  * LimCore facepalms, and tries selinux
[10:46] <ikonia> Ziroday: thats interesting
[10:47] <Ziroday> ikonia: yeah, I believe novell let it go. Anyway its offtopic :)
[10:47] <ikonia> LimCore: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor
[10:47] <LimCore> ikonia: well I obviously read that, its like first hit on google
[10:48] <ikonia> LimCore: I didn't know if you'd read it or not
[10:49] <prabu> how to edit boot menu ?
[10:49] <kyhros> with an editor :)
[10:49] <ikonia> prabu: use a text editor, try gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:49] <prabu> will try tat . brb
[10:50] <LimCore> how to use pax/NX and randomization security things on ubuntu? I see chpax and pax-utils, so I presume the kernel is set to work with that?
[10:50] <ikonia> LimCore: a fellow user followed this link https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/apparmor.html
[10:50] <ikonia> LimCore: may provide additional use/examples
[10:50] <ikonia> LimCore: for pax you may have to mod probe the module in, don't think it's loaded by default
[10:51] <knut> does anybody know why my elisa is flickering when i use compiz?
[10:51] <Cyranix0r> you know whats really a shame
[10:51] <Cyranix0r> X11 gets higher resolution at higher color depth on this machine than windows does :(
[10:51] <LimCore> ikonia: ok; and are programs ready to work with it? Programs should be builded with -fPIC for that... hmm but afair this is anyway tlaways the case on amd64?
[10:51] <LimCore> Cyranix0r: :(  ---> :)
[10:52] <Cyranix0r> oh yeah, I'm not complaining :P~
[10:52] <ikonia> LimCore: I'd certainly expect it on amd64 as you said, not sure about 32bit stuff, maybe pick a few random deb files and have a look at the spec file
[10:52] <levene> has the latest firefox update broken it? when i type an address in the url bar i get an incomprehensible error message, and the page doesn't load
[10:52] <Cyranix0r> Its just kindof a shame
[10:52] <prabu> its not working ikonia
[10:52] <LimCore> levene: I got it too
[10:52] <ikonia> prabu whats the problem
[10:52] <Ziroday> levene: 8.04?
[10:52] <levene> ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
[10:52] <levene> Ziroday: LimCore yes
[10:52] <LimCore> levene: I entered something to search bar, and then firefox showd tiny 10x10 pixel window (??) and hanged.  After restart it works
[10:53] <levene> LimCore: hm, i just did restart it
[10:53] <LimCore> levene: I guess: just restart firefoxes after upgrade
[10:53] <levene> LimCore: i'll try again
[10:53] <prabu> i run tat in terminal it asked my passwork . i did . then nothin happens
[10:53] <LimCore> ikonia: perhaps its a bug, that installer of firefox upgrade should force it to restart
[10:53] <prabu> password
[10:53] <LimCore> or ask is it ok to do so
[10:53] <levene> LimCore: right, working now. phew!
[10:53] <LimCore> levene: join #ubuntu-bugs
[10:54] <levene> LimCore: i had to killall firefox, it wasn't closed although all the windows were closed
[10:54] <levene> LimCore: sorry, back to work now :)
[10:54] <LimCore> argggggggh
[10:54] <LimCore> why always dpkg by default cuts packages names
[10:54] <LimCore> dpkg -l
[10:54] <levene> LimCore: you can fix that i think
[10:54] <Ziroday> levene: LimCore: did your error look like this? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17973720/firefox_start.png
[10:54] <ikonia> prabu try this, open a password and do "sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[10:54] <LimCore> yaeh, COLS=200
[10:55] <prabu> where to type tat ? im new to ubuntu ikonia
[10:55] <LimCore> Ziroday: no, I got 10x10 pixels window, with just part of title visible "F..." - firefox? and I restarted then
[10:55] <levene> Ziroday: more or less. mine started the same, but looked denser i think
[10:55] <ikonia> prabu: there did you type gksudo gedit /boor/grub/menu.lst
[10:55] <ikonia> "where"
[10:55] <Ziroday> levene: LimCore: thanks
[10:56] <prabu> ok . will try
[10:56] <levene> anyway, thanks all. ttfn
[10:56] <ikonia> prabu: where did you type "gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[10:57] <prabu> it says command not found :(
[10:57] <gharz> bye room
[10:57] <ikonia> prabu where are you typing it
[10:58] <prabu> in terminal
[10:58] <LimCore> Ziroday: add your description to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/274725
[10:58] <ikonia> prabu showme the command your tying, exaclty
[10:59] <Ziroday> LimCore: its not my bug report :), just something I saw that seemed similar
[10:59] <prabu> gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:00] <r2r> !ebox | r2r
[11:00] <ikonia> prabu: thats not what I todl you to type
[11:01] <aar> Hi, guarddog is not displaying the tick boxes next to each of the programs, so I can't specify what to allow / disallow. I suspect it's a permissions issue (i.e. chmod or chown problem). Any clues on what file / directory I should tweak?
[11:01] <ikonia> sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst" is what I told you type
[11:01] <prabu> got it :) thanks ikonia
[11:01] <prabu> thanks very much
[11:02] <ikonia> no problem
[11:04] <r2r> ikonia: hello do you mind if i borrow some your time?
[11:04] <ikonia> r2r what's up ?
[11:04] <LimCore> what application will try to haxor my box or crash it? apart from the crashme test
[11:04] <airtonix> how does one tell which version of openobex i have
[11:05] <ikonia> LimCore: look at stress test that has utils on it
[11:05] <ikonia> airtonix how did you install it
[11:05] <LimCore> ok but this is aimed at stressing by load, not by trying actuall exploits... I was thinking like, some milw0rm or something compilation + scripted test
[11:05] <airtonix> ikonia, via apt-get
[11:05] <r2r> ikonia: i have this problem that when ubuntu is deployed for staff (in on office) many people are not happy with the DE can i make my spin with new settings ?
[11:06] <ikonia> LimCore stresstest cd has a ton of great tools
[11:06] <ikonia> airtonix dpk -l | grep openobex
[11:06] <LimCore> stresstest cd..?  I ment an application to test my ubuntu system, are we talking about same thing? Not some live cd with test tools to test my hardware
[11:06] <r2r> limCore: would you mind if you pm me your message please
[11:06] <ikonia> r2r you mean the compiz cube ?
[11:07] <ikonia> LimCore I'm saying look at the stress test live cd - it has tools on it, that you can then install on your ubuntu box, as the tools are very good
[11:07] <r2r> ikonia: no shortcuts menu bar locations little tweaks
[11:07] <LimCore> ok
[11:07] <ikonia> !theme > r2r
[11:07] <airtonix> ikonia, ok result is :  1.3-3ubuntu1  ... is this the version of the package or the lib itself?
[11:07] <ikonia> r2r: you can apply themese and styles
[11:07] <Q_Continuum> Okay, what's up with Evolution's failure to work with spam for me, running 8.04?  SpamAssassin IS installed.  Is there some magical trick?
[11:07] <ikonia> airtonix thats the package but it normally links in witht he version
[11:08] <airtonix> ikonia, cheers
[11:08] <ikonia> Q_Continuum: have you set evolution to use spamassisn
[11:08] <Q_Continuum> Yeah.
[11:08] <r2r> ikonia: its almost impossible to do that (iam sorry but please ask before pm thankyou very much)
[11:08] <Q_Continuum> And I have the package installed.  Yet it still won't work.
[11:08] <ikonia> r2r I've not pm'd you ?
[11:09] <r2r> ikonia: mm.. ok you told ubottu to iam i right?
[11:09] <ikonia> r2r yes, ubottu sent you a link
[11:09] <airtonix> r2r, the bot here did it's a quick way to divuldge information
[11:09] <ikonia> r2r: why is it impossible to use the themes
[11:09] <Q_Continuum> Crap, I don't have that migrated over to my new HD.
[11:09] <skycrane> 2
[11:09] <fallore> every 10 minutes my screen goes black and i have to move the mouse to wake it back up. i changed the screensaver idle time or whatever to 1 hour from 10 minutes but still the same. how do i make it stay on while i watch a video?
[11:09] <Q_Continuum> Thinking about just going back to Thunderbird, as I no longer need PIM support (being that ATT is being retarded with Palms and I stopped using one)
[11:10] <r2r> ikonia: i really cant manually change themes for evrybody there atlest 50 systems
[11:10] <r2r> !ubottu NO PM
[11:10] <AlexW> i need help with some bridging/networking please see http://pastebin.com/d3608f146
[11:10] <dr_willis> r2r,  why not let them change their own themes?
[11:10] <ikonia> r2r then look at enterprise managment tools, like varients, nfs mounted home dir's, etc etc
[11:11] <x3on> does anyone know a way to show someone their webcam besides using Kopete?
[11:11] <r2r> dr_willis: they are pure windows users they dont even know how to run openofice
[11:11] <ikonia> AlexW read the kvm documentation it explains bridging
[11:11] <airtonix> r2r, there is a tool in the repos to allow you to make simultaneous changes across multiple systems
[11:11] <mecha> anyone know how to make emerald on by default when the system boots?
[11:11]  * dr_willis is big on 'educating users' not 'dumbing down systems'
[11:12] <OdnsRvns> how do i put directx on my ubuntu
[11:12] <ikonia> OdnsRvns directX is a windows technology not available for uubnut
[11:12] <airtonix> r2r, dont know how to use openoffice? thats a rather long stretch... give them more credit than that or just sya they don't want to learn
[11:12] <ikonia> ubuntu
[11:12] <dr_willis> OdnsRvns,  why do you want to? or think you need to? wine normally does not need DIrectX
[11:12] <r2r> airtonix: i'd love that any name or reference
[11:12] <J-_> mecha:  Go into sessions in the menu, and make a new command, "emerald --replace" without quotes.
[11:12] <r2r> OdnsRvns, games right?
[11:12] <airtonix> r2r, one sec
[11:12] <OdnsRvns> yea i am in wine and trying to install COD4 and it ask for DX
[11:13] <OdnsRvns> i know there is a patch i just dont know where i read it at
[11:13] <ikonia> r2r: NFS mounted home drives and read only gnome profiles would manage your setup very well
[11:13] <AlexW> ikonia: That is not what i want
[11:13] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: join #winehq for specific wine info
[11:13] <ikonia> AlexW: what do you want then
[11:13] <Hydromethod> Hi there, i have a secondary harddrive connected to my motherboard, ntfs(win HD), how do i format it with ubuntu via the bash shell?
[11:13] <ikonia> AlexW: looking at that diagram thats exactly what you want
[11:13] <r2r> OdnsRvns, COD4 try cedja or something like that
[11:13] <OdnsRvns> no under wine right now
[11:13] <airtonix> r2r, i think it is called clusterssh
[11:13] <mecha> J-_:  thank you so much. i hated doind the --replace every time i boot
[11:13] <OdnsRvns> i have cedega
[11:13] <AlexW> ikonia: Do you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[11:14] <ikonia> AlexW: no
[11:14] <ikonia> AlexW: I mean the kvm docs
[11:14] <airtonix> r2r: clusterssh : administer multiple ssh or rsh shells simultaneously
[11:14] <ikonia> AlexW: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki
[11:14] <OdnsRvns> but im not using cedga they havent gotr my login for it yet
[11:14] <mecha> J-_: can i do the same with quicksynergy to connect to a synergy server?
[11:14] <r2r> OdnsRvns, under wine hm.. this is a wild idea try installing directx under WINE (it is illegal) but if you have a windows system add directx dlls to it
[11:14] <ikonia> OdnsRvns #winehq will help you with your specific questions
[11:14] <J-_> mecha:  Not sure, sorry. :)
[11:15] <r2r> !clusterssh | r2r
[11:15] <mecha> anyone here use quicksynergy?
[11:15] <airtonix> r2r, you could always (as ikona suggested) mount a central folder on a server that is symlinked to each users ~/.themes , ~/.icons , ~/.fonts
[11:15] <Hydromethod> anyone know how to format a second harddrive via the bash shell?
[11:15] <ikonia> Hydromethod what file system to you want
[11:15] <Hydromethod> either ither
[11:15] <airtonix> Hydromethod, ther eis a guid on the ubuntu help website that details this process
[11:15] <ikonia> Hydromethod: I suggest you use gparted as a visual tool
[11:15] <OdnsRvns> no einr changes system paths as well to like instead of c:/programs its .c:/programs
[11:16] <ikonia> Hydromethod: either ??? there are many
[11:16] <Hydromethod> no id like to do this via bash
[11:16] <r2r> airtonix: iam really greatful to you clusterssh does the job
[11:16] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: #winehq is the correct support place
[11:16] <AlexW> ikonia: Is this hwat i wantg http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Networking
[11:16] <Hydromethod> its my home file server, i use ssh to access it
[11:16] <OdnsRvns> ikonia no one is talking to you
[11:16] <OdnsRvns> chill bro
[11:16] <airtonix> Hydromethod, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[11:16] <ikonia> OdnsRvns this is not an ubuntu issue
[11:16] <Hydromethod> but i have two HD's (one running ubuntu) and the second one has windows installed - which i want to format
[11:16] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: so #winehq is the correct place for support
[11:16] <ikonia> Hydromethod do you know the device file for your second disk ?
[11:17] <Hydromethod> its /dev/hdb1
[11:17] <r2r> OdnsRvns, mind your language if you will you have been given an advie not a command
[11:17] <OdnsRvns> its an install question on hardy how is that not ubuntu
[11:17] <ikonia> AlexW: thats a good doc
[11:17] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: no it's not, its a wine install question and a wine application issue
[11:17] <airtonix> r2r, if you want to control the themes then i would look at centralising those folders via nfs ...somehow
[11:17] <kjdro> hello there how can i see a workgroup from a windows network ???
[11:17] <ikonia> Hydromethod: ok - so for example, if you wanted to do ext3 you would do "sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1"
[11:17] <r2r> OdnsRvns, please stop pm me if you can
[11:18] <AlexW> ikonia: "You are ready to take a huge performance hit." , would you agree with this?
[11:18] <Hydromethod> ah ok, thanks ikonia
[11:18] <OdnsRvns> ???
[11:18] <r2r> OdnsRvns, sorry let me refrase it :please stop ,pm me if you can
[11:18] <ikonia> AlexW Hmmmm, yes and no, let me think of a way to respond to that properly
[11:18] <OdnsRvns> lol
[11:18] <airtonix> Hydromethod, i recommend you look at that page i linked, it has more info you need
[11:18] <Hydromethod> sorry i missed the link airtonix, ill scroll
[11:18] <afallenhope> ikonia, got it workin ^_^ just had to reboot lmao. added somethign to my fstab though :-s
[11:19] <OdnsRvns> whats the command to kill a window
[11:19] <airtonix> Hydromethod, the help.ubuntu.com/community website should not be underestimated
[11:19] <r2r> airtonix: hmm... maybe but i dont think a core2duo 2gb ram server would handle it
[11:19] <ikonia> AlexW: ok - well perfomance will drop as your sharing hardware, but by how much will depend on a.) how good your hardware is b.) how much your using it, for a home user I wouldn't expect to see a "masssive" hit
[11:19] <airtonix> r2r, i beg to differ
[11:20] <vallhalla81> !.rar
[11:20] <airtonix> r2r, a 300mhz pentium1 would be good enough :)
[11:20] <r2r> airtonix: nice humor
[11:20] <airtonix> r2r, not humour, reality
[11:20] <vallhalla81> !info unrar-free
[11:20] <OdnsRvns> comand to kill and app anyone
[11:21] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: kill
[11:21] <dr_willis> I have to agree with airtonix  - low end machines can serve up a lot of  stuff...
[11:21] <airtonix> r2r, the centralised mount method would make your job easier as well when time comes to change stuff
[11:21] <afallenhope> ikonia - none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=664 0 0
[11:22] <r2r> airtonix: you see our network is chocked to death even at gbps we are planning a fibre backbone as for old hardware you woudnt belive we have a p1 337mhz 32mb ram as our firewall (m0n0wall)
[11:22] <airtonix> r2r, but really...you need to experience the differences between various methods before you can appreciate them i guess
[11:22] <r2r> airtonix: let me try
[11:22] <airtonix> r2r, ah ok i see how sshcluster would be better thern
[11:22] <AlexW> ikonia: Would it be possible to just uses kvm's taps
[11:22] <dr_willis> 'learning to be a sysadmin 101' :)
[11:23] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:23] <ikonia> if you don't want to give it access to aphyiscal card yes, join #kvm for some solid chatter on it
[11:23] <airtonix> dr_willis, my next step in this area is getting a group of people together willing to be guinea pigs so i can learn more
[11:24] <dr_willis> airtonix,  im still a firm beliver in 'educating' users  :) over 'dumbing everything down so they never need to think'
[11:24] <cwillu> was somebody just claiming that a 333mhz firewall couldn't handle gigabit traffic?
[11:24] <ikonia> gents, maybe offtopic a better place for this ?
[11:24] <r2r> dr_wills: i would do so 101 is a chapter or some refrence please could you give me more detailed refernce ;P
[11:24] <dr_willis> airtonix,  even my wife figured out  the basics of linux in a day or 2.
[11:24] <ikonia> interesting as it is
[11:24] <airtonix> dr_willis, :) darwin approach
[11:24] <r2r> guys can we cahtter at ubuntu-offtopic if you like
[11:25] <dr_willis> airtonix,  she still calls my Laptop  the 'laptdesk' machine. :)
[11:25] <airtonix> yes back on topic
[11:25] <ikonia> thanks guys
[11:25] <Kuba> hi
[11:26] <airtonix> delicate question: was the bios issue returning incorrect acpi tables the issue with hibernation? or is it just acase that we have to wait for some workaround in the kernel ?
[11:26] <dwa_> ikonia: my thunderbird problem was solved with a reboot; found out on the forums people had similar problems with firefox and a reboot was all that was needed. Probably some xulrunner file that had to be reloaded or something
[11:26] <Kuba> do you know, how to power on wlan adapter during startup and make an attempt to connect to prevously specified wifi network and if the network is not available power off the adapter :) is that possbile?
[11:27] <ikonia> dwa_: very good, maybe worth putting that in the bug report also
[11:27] <dwa_> ikonia: my plan exactly
[11:27] <ikonia> dwa_: thanks you, most helpful
[11:28] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:28] <TheBase> I'm running a ubuntu and since I last upgraded to 8.04 TLS I can't get the graphics to work. I reinstalled the drivers and everything but I still have a problem. Every time I start X it says runs in low resolution and even after I change to the right drivers and resolution it goes back to low-res after restart. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows this error: Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)   and I have a Ge
[11:28] <TheBase> Force 8400 GS.
[11:29] <TheBase> One thing that I noticed it that lsmod and xorg.conf shows the nvidia driver. Shouldn't it be nvidia_new ? After all there is a nvidia_new.ko listed with modprobe -l
[11:29] <pauljc> hello
[11:30] <ikonia> TheBase: xorg.conf does not relate to kernel modules
[11:31] <prodigel> hi all. any experience wit svn?
[11:31] <cwillu> TheBase, there's magic with nvidia_new, it'll show as nvidia in lsmod
[11:31] <barseflesh> i bet ppl on #svn have
[11:31] <airtonix> prodigel, minimal
[11:31] <baal> buzka
[11:31] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:31] <r2r> TheBase: hmm.. try upadting is it updated i have never seen such a problem try maully configuring xorg if you can , GeForce 8400 GS is thata single core?
[11:31] <prodigel> barseflesh, svn channel doesn't give much feedback
[11:31] <r2r> nnull: someone will answer thankyou for reminding
[11:31] <prodigel> airtonix, I've just set up my svn server, did configuration in svnserve.conf and passwd and started svnserve as daemon, and when trying to checkout from a different computer it 'no repository found in ...
[11:32] <TheBase> r2r, I guess so since it's a laptop
[11:32] <nnull> r2rƺ no worries im not trying to spam, just reminding :x
[11:32] <ubbuntu-newbie> help...... how do you install tar.gz archive software?????
[11:32] <cwillu> prodigel, give it more time, not every channel is as busy as #ubuntu.  Best to just ask your question there, and be patient (in the at least 8 hours sense)
[11:32] <Ethos___> guys, can anyone tell me what's best for a virtual ubuntu box? :) Vmare of virtual pc?
[11:32] <reehan> can anyone provide me the room name for linux kernel
[11:32] <haeger> hello! Is there a chance to find a repository with packages of compiz 0.7.8 for ubuntu hardy heron?
[11:32] <billybongo> prodigel: how are you trying to check out?
[11:32] <airtonix> prodigel, sorry, not much i can do to help...been a long time since i used svn, and i was only following a guide to install it...fairly blind in that area i am
[11:32] <cwillu> reehan, #kernel I believe
[11:32] <reehan> Ethos___: virtualbox is the best and the simplest
[11:33] <reehan> thanku cwillu
[11:33] <Ethos___> really?
[11:33] <Kuba> nnull: my compiz is going crazy when 2 users are logged in ;p
[11:33] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: you shouldn't... try to find the program as deb for ubuntu... tar.gz are usually source code that needs to be compiled and couses probelems
[11:33] <Ethos___> I thought it was a bit simple and slow?
[11:33] <Ethos___> :)
[11:33] <ubbuntu-newbie> im trying to install azureus vuze and the file i downloaded is in the form of a archive... what do i do????
[11:33] <MaxJays> what's the difference in ext2 and ext3 filesystem?
[11:33] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: what program do you want to install?
[11:33] <nnull> Kubaƺ ive only got 1 user on this PC
[11:33] <TheBase> r2r, everything is up to date. I was wondering if it's something to do with the LCD display settings
[11:33] <airtonix> Ethos___, i use it, but you should try out all of them....see which suits you.
[11:33] <erUSUL> !torrent | ubbuntu-newbie
[11:33] <reehan> MaxJays: ext2 is not a journalling file system
[11:33] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ erUSUL how do i compile it?
[11:33] <erUSUL> !azureous | ubbuntu-newbie
[11:33] <erUSUL> !azureus | ubbuntu-newbie
[11:33] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_linux.php
[11:34] <MaxJays> can you explane journalling file system? reehan ?
[11:34] <r2r> TheBase: is geforce 8400 gs single core?
[11:34] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ all i am familiar with torrents and windows
[11:34] <airtonix> ubbuntu-newbie, why would you want azureus ?
[11:34] <ubbuntu-newbie> ive recently switched to linux ubuntu
[11:34] <Kuba> MaxJays: try wikipedia ;p
[11:34] <nnull> airtonixƺ why wouldnt you want it
[11:34] <reehan> MaxJays: wikipedia and google are the best
[11:34] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ all how do you compile a program or archive
[11:34] <MaxJays> i heard google try to take over the world
[11:34] <airtonix> nnull, because its written in java and is kinda bloatware
[11:34] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: i recommendo you to try deluge or follow onstruction given by ubottu to install azureus
[11:35] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: TRansmission is good client for starters
[11:35] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[11:35] <airtonix> +1 for transmission
[11:35] <prodigel> billybigrigger, svn co svn://<IP_ADDRESS>/something
[11:35] <nnull> airtonixƺ lol.. you may consider it bloatware, but its 4x+ more advanced/configurable then any clients ive used
[11:35] <cwillu> ubuntulog, azureus is in the repository, although I second erUSUL's suggestion of deluge
[11:35] <cwillu> !info azureus
[11:35] <billybongo> prodigel: I would use svn+ssh
[11:35] <nnull> tranmission is a joke (great as a simple downloader for most users) but it has 0 configurablity
[11:35] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: installing the software on linux (for newbie) can be pain in the ass ;)
[11:35] <airtonix> nnull, if i had a laptop to use i would be running rTorrent
[11:35] <billybongo> prodigel: and you need full path to your repository
[11:36] <OdnsRvns> use symatic
[11:36] <r2r> cwillu:what e you trying to achive
[11:36] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ kuba could you please try and explain how to compile?
[11:36] <cwillu> ubbuntu-newbie, that means you can install it directly via add/remove in the applications menu
[11:36] <airtonix> nnull, for the laptop would go under my bed or in a cupboard and i would adminsiter rTorrent via screen through ssh
[11:36] <nnull> well yea if hes got a low end pc airtonix prolly isnt the go for him, but its a the best linux supported bit client ive used
[11:36] <cwillu> ubbuntu-newbie, azureus is in the repository, although I second erUSUL's suggestion of deluge
[11:36] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: i can assure you you don't need Azureus; try Transmission (look in to ubuntu Menu); i newbie to linux too
[11:36] <tyberion> hi there.. ive got a little problem, is there a way that u can prevent gnome-settings-daemon, if you launch it, from setting the wall thats used in gnome???!
[11:37] <airtonix> ubbuntu-newbie, if you have used utorrent, then transmission will be familar ground
[11:37] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: i already told you *twice* the url with instructions on how to instal azureus but you keep asking here?
[11:37] <Ethos___> guys which is the best virtual product for ubuntu, virtual pc, vmware or virtual box?
[11:37] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: for the *third* time → https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[11:37] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ all i get the picture........ but anyway could you guys explain in brief how to install using compile
[11:38] <Kuba> Ethos___: vmware
[11:38] <ikonia> erUSUL: personal taste, try them out
[11:38] <ikonia> oops
[11:38] <ikonia> Ethos___ personal taste, try them out
[11:38] <airtonix> nnull, well the premise of using a laptop with rTorrent is that it would be low power and silent
[11:38] <ikonia> erUSUL: sorry
[11:38] <erUSUL> ikonia: no problem :)
[11:38] <reehan> airtonix: !sorry
[11:38] <nnull> airtonixƺ sounds good makes me wish i had a laptop heh ;)
[11:38] <ubbuntu-newbie> right.....
[11:38] <ubbuntu-newbie> thanks
[11:38] <prodigel> billybigrigger, I've just realized i didn't start svnserver with a path parameter, now it works but probably I need to pass som usename/password
[11:39] <Kuba> airtonix: linux newbie won't specially like console programs ;p
[11:39] <airtonix> reehan, your apology is accepted my troops have been withdrawn from your territory....although im not sure waht your apologising for?
[11:40] <airtonix> has anyone been able to get lg u8110 mobile phones working with openobex in ubuntu?
[11:41] <reehan> airtonix: try ubuntu 8.04
[11:41] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:41] <airtonix> Kuba, that's a personal problem they have to deal with really...
[11:41] <airtonix> Kuba, i am using ubuntu hardy.
[11:41] <TheBase> r2r, looks like it's single
[11:41] <airtonix> Kuba, mistell
[11:41] <airtonix> reehan, ja i am...any more ideas?
[11:42] <prodigel> billybigrigger, I get this message now: svn: /media/big/repos/imob/conf/passwd:7: Option expected. what does it say?
[11:42] <Kuba> airtonix: you have to point new linux user into right/simplest way
[11:42] <nnull> i also have no windows borders
[11:42] <r2r> TheBase: i really cant figure out a solution try running it with the LIVE CD
[11:42] <strk> so I want to install Ubuntu on a laptop. Have its hdd out and pluggable trought USB. What's the best way to do that ? Is it worth installing the system directly to the HDD usin USB and *after* install the HDD onto the laptop ?
[11:42] <airtonix> Kuba, hence my suggestion for transmission
[11:42] <airtonix> Kuba, imo nnull isnt a newbie
[11:42] <microwaver> Hello, i've got a strange issue. I've issued smbpasswd -a <user> <pw> and i can connect to my share, but when I want to enter it, it asks (duhr) for auhtentication I use the things I used at <user> <pw> but it just keeps on asking for it.
[11:43] <Kuba> airtonix: ubbuntu-newbie was ;)
[11:43] <strk> I'm asking because when I tried install CDs they failed (Asus w7j) : unable to find the CD volume to mount root...
[11:43] <Kuba> we all know rTorrent is the best ^^
[11:43] <airtonix> Kuba, which is why i suggest to that person to use transmission.
[11:43] <CaptJager> anyone play with crossover?
[11:43] <magnetron> !crossover | CaptJager
[11:44] <airtonix> Kuba, i actually havent used rTorrent for a while yet, my current version is on a feisty server...does the latest support dht yet?
[11:44] <cwillu> CaptJager, not recently, my roommate uses it for office though
[11:44] <cwillu> CaptJager, not sure how necessary it is though
[11:44] <TheBase> r2r, ok.
[11:44] <TheBase> thanks
[11:44] <Kuba> airtonix: 0.8 does (not sure)
[11:44] <CaptJager> kinda like wine
[11:45] <r2r> thanks for nothing? i like your attitude TheBase
[11:45] <airtonix> Kuba, although i was always getting very nice transfer speeds, many others would complain that they 'simply must have dht support'
[11:45] <CaptJager> transmission is the only one I get decent speeds on
[11:46] <billybongo> prodigel: not sure, I only ever use svn+ssh
[11:46] <airtonix> CaptJager, maybe because it uses upnp and you didnt try to create a port forwarded route?
[11:46] <cwillu> tranmission's bandwidth limiter has issues though, it isn't effective for sharing a connection with latency sensitive apps
[11:46] <CaptJager> I did forward the port and I get great speeds
[11:46] <airtonix> CaptJager, but i also notice the ubuntu transmission supports dht
[11:47] <joseph__>  Hello, my ubuntu system tends to become unstable after a while it's on and need to reboot like in windows- is this normal?
[11:47] <Ziroday> joseph__: no, however extremely difficult to diagnose. Desktop or laptop?
[11:48] <Dillizar> any news about the flash is it fixed :D
[11:48] <cwillu> joseph__, sounds like a hardware issue, might want to run the memory checker overnight (hit escape on the 'grub' menu)
[11:48] <MadHag> anyone use boinc on here?
[11:48] <ph8> hey guys, how does rcX.d work? I want to stop a service being shut down properly on halt/reboot but keep it as being started
[11:48] <Ziroday> Dillizar: please give us a specific issue and see !flash
[11:48] <cwillu> joseph__, it that crashes, or shows any errors, then you've definately got a hardware problem, although it isn't proof that everything is fine if it _does_ work
[11:48] <Dillizar> Ziroday: i found oput
[11:49] <kauer> hi. How can I install LAMP after the fact, from the command line? Do I just install Apache, MySQL, PHP, or is there more to it?
[11:49] <MadHag> I am getting sick of ubuntu, it works too well, I dont have any problems :)
[11:49] <cwillu> kauer, that's pretty much it, although you need to be familiar with administering those packages in any case
[11:49] <cwillu> MadHag, switch to openbsd :p
[11:49] <joseph__> Ziroday:  desktop
[11:49] <MadHag> tried, yeah I had problems
[11:49] <ziorcas> I am trying to install xmlrpc-c but failing miserably, can anyone help?
[11:49] <microwaver> no one using samba here ?
[11:49] <Dillizar> Ziroday: i found out that linux has a lot of problems with the flash, its slow, and when you are watching smt with flash your pc its slow 2
[11:50] <Ziroday> !anyone > microwaver
[11:50] <Dillizar> and z'
[11:50] <MadHag> pcbsd, knackered my chainloaders :)
[11:50] <Dillizar> and Ziroday i have the same problem
[11:50] <Dillizar> :D
[11:50] <Ziroday> !flash > Dillizar
[11:50] <microwaver> I can't seem to get my user auth straight for samba
[11:51] <kauer> cwillu: "Pretty much it"? Is it or isn't it? I really don't want to end up in install-dependency hell.
[11:51] <kjdro> pls help me arhive some files... to make backup.. i dont know why i get this error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4e9a9940
[11:52] <cwillu> !lamp | kauer
[11:52] <TheBase> r2r, no. It's a thanks for trying. Doesn't matter if you know how to fix or not. I appreciate for the time and good intention.
[11:52] <cwillu> kauer, everything in the repository should in theory work fine together
[11:52] <Jimm-> I'd like to direct /home to a new partition, is it as simple as just coping the contents of /home to the new partition and then editing fstab?
[11:52] <cwillu> kauer, in practice it tends to just work
[11:52] <Dillizar> Ziroday: i know how to install it but its not working, well its working but the pic is not good like 5frames or smt
[11:52] <Tonno> I can't see the ubuntu grafic everytime that I do a restart or shutdown, all what I see is a  background ( black ) and a white letter, can someone help me to fix it?
[11:53] <cwillu> kauer, you will need to be familiar with how to configure apache modules, for instance however
[11:53] <kauer> cwilli thanks
[11:53] <kauer> cwillu thanks
[11:53] <cwillu> kauer, np

[12:04] <BlackDalek> Why does the "percentage% complete" for sending messages never actually update in Evolution mail? it always says (0% complete) for the entire time when sending larger attachments... then it vanishes when the email is finished sending... what is up with that? Has the percentage progress thing ever worked?
[12:05] <OdnsRvns> ok i cant remove folders only files

[12:09] <Strang3r> /home/[USER PROFILE]/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/[USER PROFILE]/Application Data/Adobe/Photoshop/9.0/Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings/Adobe Photoshop CS2 Prefs.psp
[12:09] <Cheery> I'd need a background image for my ubuntu
[12:09] <Strang3r> but when I write
[12:09] <Strang3r> Application Data
[12:09] <BlackDalek> How do I get a 100% linux compatible laptop with "the works" (hardware-wise) for free?
[12:09] <Cheery> the resolution is 2x1920x1200
[12:09] <Strang3r> the system informs me that there`s no such directory
[12:09] <Strang3r> can u help me ?
[12:09] <Strang3r> there`s no problem for me to enter in profiles/user_name
[12:10] <Timberwolf5578> Best distro = PCLinuxOS
[12:10] <Strang3r> but after that I`m not able to continue ...
[12:10] <Strang3r> ;/
[12:10] <Strang3r> and when I`m in the profiles
[12:10] <Strang3r> I see the directory Application Data
[12:10] <Strang3r> ;/
[12:10] <Cheery> 3840x1200 background image, anyone knows where to find these from?
[12:11] <mirex> Strang3r: when in directory write "ls -lA" to see what are properties of Application data. Maybe your user does not have rights to access the dir.
[12:12] <BlackDalek> I find a lot of the stuff in the wine directory is not accessible by the normal user.
[12:12] <msandbu> Hi! anyone know of a good DC client for ubuntu ?
[12:13] <bullgard4> How to get the gucharmap applet onto the upper panel?
[12:14] <fiyawerx> Anyone know how long before a package like xchat gets updated in the repos? 2.8.6 was released in June
[12:15] <BlackDalek> does everyone get the 0% thing in Evolution mail?
[12:15] <hangthedj> fiyawerx, it depends on the maintainer, and the coders.
[12:15] <Dimensions> hi there can someone please tell me how to do this. i have spent hours on this but cant get it working..i have a php page that displays either stop or go on the page..i have a shell script that should read that value from the page and put to a variable to check if it should run or stop
[12:17] <zax1> does any one know a simple partition program i can use(free) to resize the system partition on win2008 ?
[12:17] <hangthedj> gparted
[12:17] <bullgard4> fiyawerx: I know: If you yourself maintain the package, it will become updated faster.
[12:17] <msandbu> just use the integrated one in Windows
[12:17] <zax1> msandbu: which ?
[12:17] <Cheery> hmm, ubuntu seems to be quite much offline today
[12:18] <bullgard4> zax1: GParted. But make a backup before you start using it.
[12:18] <Cheery> I bought an apple keyboard, which feels quite good
[12:18] <hangthedj> I don't think Windows resizes partitions, XP doesn't cause I just tried on my laptop.
[12:18] <Cheery> but now I'd want to get the 'cmd' -buttons down there to do something useful
[12:18] <murlidhar> hi all . how to make cplay the default media player ?

[12:30] <AliTarihi> Enselic: everything looks normal with 755 permission
[12:30] <mecha> oops
[12:30] <Enselic> AliTarihi: so what do you mean when you say that you "can't get a status from it" ?
[12:31] <AliTarihi> Enselic: /etc/init.d/SOMESERVICE status or start or stop does not yield anything
[12:32] <Enselic> AliTarihi: all services?
[12:32] <nikitis> So when will Gnome 2.24 be in the repositories?
[12:32] <Enselic> nikitis: probably with next Ubuntu release
[12:32] <AliTarihi> Enselic: so far everything I've tested
[12:32] <nikitis> ah, screw that
[12:32] <AliTarihi> :-/
[12:32] <nikitis> Is there a way to upgrade manually, easily?
[12:32] <Enselic> AliTarihi: what service for example?
[12:32] <Enselic> nikitis: yes, easily googleable
[12:32] <AliTarihi> Enselic: tor
[12:33] <AliTarihi> Enselic: lomion@twilight:~$ /etc/init.d/tor status
[12:33] <Enselic> AliTarihi: do you get any output at all wen you try to start tor?

[12:34] <mecha> how would i edit that to boot into 1024x768?

[12:35] <murlidhar> Enselic: let me try it once
[12:36] <_demo> hello i installed ubuntu on a hdd that was on my computer, now i moved the hdd that contains ubuntu to another computer, the other computer has a windows hdd too but it cannot be mounted, what can i do?
[12:36] <AliTarihi> Enselic: I found the problem. dummy services I have/
[12:36] <AliTarihi> Enselic: thx for help :)
[12:37] <Enselic> AliTarihi:  np
[12:37] <mecha> _demo: dual boot from one hdd
[12:37] <zimbres> hi, i have changed from the gdm to xdm display manager, how do i turn back?
[12:37] <fl0w> I'm trying to do ./configure but I'm getting following error "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". It's a newly installed Hardy Heron server edition, and I'm trying to install Sphinx (the search engine). Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm new to linux but this doesn't seem like a dependency error?
[12:37] <Enselic> zimbres: how do you change to xdm?
[12:37] <mecha> _demo: or make a jumper switch, i think it was on tech tv one time
[12:37] <KenSentMe> Is it possible to keep the file date while using ftp?
[12:38] <murlidhar> Enselic: nope it doesn't work that way
[12:38] <_demo> mecha, what?
[12:38] <The-Compiler> fl0w: you have to install build-essential
[12:38] <_demo> mecha how do i do that?
[12:38] <fl0w> The-Compiler: thank you!
[12:38] <Enselic> murlidhar: have you even managed to play an mp3 with cplay on the system your currently is sitting at?
[12:38] <zimbres> Enselic, when i installed it with apt-get, there was an option to make xdm the default manager.
[12:38] <Enselic> KenSentMe: keep the file data of what file?
[12:39] <KenSentMe> Enselic, of the file i am downloading through ftp
[12:39] <murlidhar> Enselic: that is the only player i use for playing my audio files
[12:39] <mecha> _demo: there are little things on the end of your hard drive called jumpers. they make the hdd master or slave or cable select. a jumper switch connects to 2 hdd and lets u use a switch to switch between the two hdd before you boot.
[12:39] <murlidhar> Enselic: yes i did . it works
[12:39] <mecha> google it i guess
[12:39] <The-Compiler> fl0w: no worries ;)
[12:40] <Enselic> murlidhar: how do you play it with cplay?
[12:40] <_demo> mecha why does it matter which hdd is master and which is slave?
[12:40] <mecha> _demo: google "hard drive jumper switch"
[12:40] <KenSentMe> Enselic, so the date of the file on the server and my computer should be the same
[12:40] <mecha> _demo: so BIOS know which to boot from
[12:40] <Enselic> KenSentMe: have you read the manual for your FTP client?
[12:40] <fl0w> The-Compiler: tried a "sudo apt-cache search c compiler" but that gave me a bit more results than I was hoping for :)
[12:40] <_demo> mecha, bios boots from the ubuntu one
[12:41] <murlidhar> Enselic: i type cplay in the terminal and the player fires up . there is an inbuilt file manager from which i can load the songs to play
[12:41] <mecha> _demo: then why do you still have the windows one plugged in? and what are the jumpers set to?
[12:41] <Enselic> murlidhar: you must figure out how to start playing files from when you start cplay
[12:41] <Enselic> murlidhar: cplay --help
[12:41] <Enselic> murlidhar: and/or   man cplay   Either of these should tell you that
[12:42] <_demo> mecha, why shouldnt the windows one be plugged in?
[12:42] <murlidhar> Enselic: Usage: /usr/bin/cplay [-nrRv] [ file | dir | playlist ] ...
[12:42] <mecha> _demo: what you should do is backup all your data and do a dual boot from one hdd and use the other for storage
[12:42] <Virtus> Hi.  What keyboard command switches from one gui to another?  I'm using the latest ubuntu distro
[12:42] <Virtus> nevermind
[12:42] <Enselic> murlidhar: what exact command do you use to laucnh cplay to play a given .mp3? Copy-paste please
[12:42] <_demo> mecha thanks for the advice but it still doesnt answer my question
[12:42] <Virtus> I worded that wrongly and figured out what I needed to do anyways
[12:42] <Flynsarmy> How do you generate the C or C++ code in the latest version of glade? I can't find hte option
[12:43] <Enselic> Flynsarmy: generating code with glade is since long obsoleted
[12:43] <Enselic> Flynsarmy: even glade is obsolete afaik, use GtkBuilder instead
[12:43] <mecha> _demo: if they are both plugged in, the computer can get confused sometimes, but what i think you did is have the ubuntu hdd set to master and the windows to cable select. so the windows drive is currently a waste of space
[12:43] <Flynsarmy> Enselic, OK, Thanks for the info
[12:43] <CaptJager> I know this has nothing to do with ubuntu but... any suggestions for fax program that has ability for distinctive rings
[12:43] <murlidhar> Enselic: i just use cplay command to launch the application. there is a built in file manager from which i select the files .
[12:43] <pc_dude> Can somebody please help me? I am new to Ubuntu! I play yahoo pool and I need to install java runtime library in Firefox, I've tried to find documentation to learn how to do this myself but what I've found so far has only confused me further!

[12:44] <_demo> hello i installed ubuntu on a hdd that was on my computer, now i moved the hdd that contains ubuntu to another computer, the other computer has a windows hdd too but it cannot be mounted, what can i do?
[12:44] <Enselic> murlidhar: you must figure out how to start playing files from when you start cplay
[12:44] <ionstorm66> can anyone here help me set up an ssh tunnel proxy?
[12:44] <Enselic> murlidhar: are you sure   cplay /path/to/file/foo.mp3   doesn't work?
[12:44] <_demo> mecha, thanks anyway
[12:45] <hangthedj> _demo, if your trying to mount a linux partition it won't work because windows doesn't support anything but fat32, fat16 and ntfs.
[12:45] <mecha> _demo: try typing "man mount" into your shell
[12:45] <murlidhar> Enselic: it works in the terminal in that way but not in the file manager .

[12:47] <Enselic> murlidhar: if you can open files that way with cplay, opening with /usr/bin/cplay should work
[12:47] <hangthedj> Will libntfs-gnomevfs do it via gui?
[12:47] <mecha> _demo: type "man mount" and it should give instructions on how to mount a partition
[12:47] <murlidhar> Enselic: it should :(

[13:03] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know of a way to get tcp keepalive in nautilus? ssh always cuts out after like 3 mins and i dunno how to fix it
[13:03] <Enselic> murlidhar: the problem was that only "cplay" was considered part of the command, and %f was intepreted by gnome-terminal as yet another argument (or probably a file)
[13:03] <dishayu> i need to reinstall grub... i added a new HDD and made some modifications to the non-linux partitions of the old one using partition magic in windows... now i'm unable to boot... it gives error 17... i am booted from hardy live cd... please help...

[13:16] <Tron04> Hello, I am using Kubuntu 8.04. When I place a icon on the desktop or on the panel and click on it, nothing happens. Launching it from the K-Menu works as expected. Whats this all about?
[13:17] <dishayu> Murlidhar : it doesn't boot into windows as well, it gives grub error 2 when i try to boot into windows..
[13:17] <her2r23> !spore
[13:17] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, you can re-install grub like that... and afaik error 17 is not recoverable
[13:17] <arvind_khadri> !grub | dishayu read this to re-install grub
[13:17] <LjL> Tron04: how do you place it?
[13:18] <murlidhar> !info spore | her2r23
[13:18] <Tron04> LjL, I open the K-Menu right click on the icon and say "add to desktop"
[13:18] <dishayu> arvind_khadri : will reinstalling ubuntu help? i don't have much any data on my linux drives...
[13:19] <Tron04> LjL: But the icon does not launch the program when placed on the desktop or on the Panel.
[13:19]  * fusp away
[13:19] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, yeah that will do... but just try re-installing grub once

[13:20] <Tron04> LjL: Fresh install of KDE4 version of Hardy
[13:20] <dishayu> arvind_khadri : i tried everything google could give me, but reinstalling grub seems like impossible right now, so i guess i'd just reinstall ubuntu, since error 17 is not recoverable...
[13:20] <cfm> gharz: Sorry, afk.  ssh then the ip or DNS name should work.  If it's not, check are you running ssh daemon on different port than 22?
[13:20] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, its not afaik...
[13:20] <aubade> murlidhar: aubade is never leaving!

[13:23] <Rondom_> dishayu: it is very useful for fixing grub, especially for people who aren't that familiar with bootloaders and stuff because it also offers some help-texts
[13:24] <murlidhar> dishayu: could u give me the output for fdisk -l
