[09:37] <ghetek> does anybody have a completely failsafe xorg.conf? i remember in hoary i used to be able to set to "vesa" and the graphics werent amazing but it always worked.
[09:37] <Maul555> hrmm...  both
[09:37] <nevermind> Maul555: well... i had better experience with manufacturer's drivers so...
[09:37] <Maul555> yeah, me too
[09:37] <nevermind> ghetek: what's your video card?
[09:37] <Maul555> ill give this one a try, but tomorrow, it time for me to hit the hay, thanks man
[09:38] <nevermind> Maul555: np
[09:38] <Maul555> night all/..
[09:38] <nevermind> night
[09:38] <ghetek> nevermind: its a usb external hard drive installation, its kinda meant to be portable so i need complete defaults
[09:39] <nevermind> well, you might wanna try vga drivers
[09:39] <ghetek> vga drivers?
[09:40] <visualnets> hello all I need some help to install Mozilla Seamonkey
[09:40] <nevermind> package is xserver-xorg-video-vga
[09:40] <tuxperger> hello...
[09:40] <ghetek> nevermind: if i apt-get install that package will it configure itself?
[09:40] <XfceRules> When I hit the volume up/down on my keyboard or headset, it adjust the bass instead of volume. How do I change it?
[09:41] <tuxperger> anybody got MH mailboxes to work in evolution/edgy?
[09:42] <nevermind> ghetek: probably you don't have to apt-get it, it's supposed to get installed by default, you may have to set it up in xorg.conf tho
[09:42] <yettenet> Can anyone tell me how I can change the workgroup I'm in? (in a samba network)
[09:42] <ghetek> nevermind: thats kinda where i have some issues, i dont really know how to do that
[09:43] <ghetek> the hd is in a usb case now and i can access its files
[09:43] <nevermind> yettenet: got to system/administration/shared folders/general
[09:43] <geek2go> has anyone ever messed with reconstructor
[09:44] <tuxperger> ...I'm now using sylpheed for only that reason
[09:44] <lycangodofwar> can anyone tell me how to use a higher screen resolution in ubuntu
[09:44] <nevermind> ghetek: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the line that says Driver "whatever" and change it for "vga"
[09:44] <tuxperger> In some ways it's better, but I hate it when software doesn't do what I want ;-/
[09:45] <ghetek> nevermind: will do thanks!
[09:45] <trond> lycangodofwar: Specify hsync and vsync of your monitor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:45] <nevermind> ghetek: np
[09:45] <Askar> My taskbar buttons are very small...what to do?
[09:45] <Un1c0> or try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:45] <geek2go> Grr.. I hate making LiveCD's.
[09:46] <trond> lycangodofwar: That is if you don't get higher resolutions under the settings --> screen resolution menu
[09:47] <eck> tuxperger: maybe you should conver to maildir/imap if only because it's better supported
[09:47] <yettenet> nevermind: I don't have such a thing :(
 what do you mean by  hsync vsync
[09:47] <tuxperger> eck: i have imap too (external server). These are historical mails
[09:47] <trond> lycangodofwar: Which screen resolutions are your monitor capable of?
[09:48] <lycangodofwar> not to sure
[09:48] <tuxperger> eck: feels a bit overkill to setup an imap server on a desktop machine
[09:48] <trond> Don't know which ones that worked under windows?
[09:48] <eck> tuxperger: well, i have used evolution with maildir before and i know that works
[09:48] <eck> there was a bug though where i had to manually enter the directory in gconf-editor
[09:49] <tuxperger> eck: that's precisely my problem!
[09:49] <eck> aha
[09:49] <trond> lycangodofwar: For instance, in xorg.conf you will find an entry called "Section Monitor"
[09:49] <eck> iirc you have to select a file that isn't the mail directory, and then you go into gconf-editor and change the string, and then when you open up evolution it works
[09:50] <eck> i filed a bug on it in launchpad some time early in the edgy release, it might have been fixed for feisty
[09:50] <lycangodofwar> it can do 1600 x 1200
[09:50] <trond> lycangodofwar: There you should specify something like this: HorizSync    31.0 - 94.0
[09:50] <trond>         VertRefresh  55.0 - 120.0
[09:50] <trond>  . But you have to figure out the correct values first. These are values for 1600x1200 75hz.
[09:50] <tuxperger> eck: thanks!
[09:51] <trond> Lycangodofwar: Ok, if you are capable of 75hz than I just provided values which should work ok
[09:52] <dcordes> i would like to install the latest madwifi drivers. do i have to blacklist the old one before? how do i do so?
[09:52] <eck> tuxperger: no problem. i can't find the bug anymore, so i guess it must be fixed :-)
[09:53] <tuxperger> eck: thanks a lot! Just did what you said and it works now.
[09:53] <chuck`_> With pure-ftpd, there seems to be a user set up by default to match my ubuntu login name/pw.  Anyone know how to disable this account if possible?  It's not in the users list in PureAdmin
[09:54] <tuxperger> sylpheed-claws is still one heck of a mailer ;-/
[09:54] <mneptok> eck: we switched LP to only show working features in Evolution instead of bugs. shorter list. ;)

[10:06] <enyc> hrrm wrong character set ?
[10:06] <MrEgg964> yes, most likely, but what should I do ?

[10:14] <analou> Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
[10:14] <analou> the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
[10:14] <analou> that package should be filed.

[10:18] <kraypius> i mean /dev/media/whatev
[10:18] <XfceRules> If I backup my old drives and reformat them to ext3 (from NTFS) I should get significantly improved performance, namely, file system searches on that drive, correct?
[10:19] <mneptok> XfceRules: yes
[10:19] <analou> i have followed the instructons written in there.. but still i wasn't able to install

[10:19] <tumbleweed> NFS bug in edgy?: http://paste.omnia.za.net/5

[10:20] <tumbleweed> I can repeatedly cause this with firefox (NFS-mounted home)

[10:20] <rambo3> !Diskmount | kraypius

[10:21] <F00BaR> and install php4
[10:21] <mkquist> later
[10:21] <rambo3> analou, you can have them both , just see that you cofigure apache config to php5 module
[10:21] <mneptok> F00BaR: man apt-get
[10:21] <XfceRules> mneptok is there a utility you might recommend for backing up a drive, for restoration after reformat?

[10:22] <F00BaR> mneptok, i know about it but i need the command to remove

[10:22] <XfceRules> mneptok thanks
[10:22] <F00BaR> i mean
[10:22] <F00BaR> do i do apt-get remove php4
[10:22] <F00BaR> or will it not work
[10:22] <F00BaR> do i do apt-get remove php5 *
[10:22] <mneptok> +sudo
[10:23] <mkquist> real_aussie - any luck? that was quick
[10:23] <rambo3> analou, a2enmod is tool for external modules when you install apache2 . ex . a2enmod php5
[10:23] <F00BaR> package php5 not insdtalled
[10:23] <analou> what if it says some pacjages are broken??
[10:24] <real_aussie> Nup: command was accepted without error, but nothing happened. (I logged in as root on Ctrl-Alt-F2 & entered telinit 3)
[10:24] <XfceRules> mneptok grsync not bad?
[10:24] <mkquist> real_aussie - http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html check that out

[10:25] <Player> I'm sure you get this a lot, but how do I enable SSH server on Ubuntu Desktop?
[10:26] <XfceRules> mneptok recommended by add/install

[10:34] <real_aussie> mr quist (I'm sorry I don't have your proper handle - it's not on my clipboard) -- the html said that everything in ubuntu was either level 1 or levels 2, 3, 4, 5 are same as level 2.  The driver installation (an nvidia install-script!) complains if I'm running in run level 1, because it says various services are not enabled at that level.  Who's brilliant idea was to collapse all the run levels 2,3,4,5 to 2?  How do I unfuc
[10:34] <real_aussie> k this brilliant idea?
[10:34] <F00BaR> rambo3, ispconfig
[10:34] <F00BaR> rambo3, its a control panel
[10:34] <magik> heh, u know i don't know what it is exactly, but it allows gd to use TTF fonts to draw in images dynamically over web pages...

[10:43] <nevermind> lisapc: what's the mouse brand?
[10:43] <lisapc> MS usb mouse,
[10:43] <rambo3> nhy, yes
[10:43] <lisapc> it doesnt seem to happen in usb port #2
[10:43] <rambo3> i have it at least on modprobe
[10:44] <nevermind> lisapc: have you tried it on different ports?
[10:44] <real_aussie> mkquist: *I* don't mind: the install script is the thing that's complaining about run level 1
[10:44] <nhy> Are you sure?
[10:44] <lisapc> nevermind, scroll up
[10:44] <F00BaR> ??
[10:44] <nhy> I've tried and tried and I can't get it to work.
[10:44] <F00BaR> anyone know what it means
[10:44] <lisapc> what could be wrong with usb port #1?
[10:44] <nevermind> lisapc: oh, then probabbly it's a bad usb port
[10:44] <nevermind> have your mobo checked
[10:45] <lisapc> nevermind, LOL
[10:45] <nhy> I think I read somewhere that you need a patch for the 4318. Can you confirm that?
[10:46] <nhy> This is the one thing thats stopping me from using linux
[10:46] <rambo3> too bad
[10:46] <mneptok> nhy: Broadcom refuses to open their drivers. it's Broadcom's issue, not Linux.
[10:47] <mneptok> nhy: vote with your wallet
[10:47] <rik_> In gedit, for an unkown reason, all my file permissions have been altered to read-write-execute. How can I permanently remove the execute permission from ALL my '.txt' files ?
[10:47] <ghetek> guys, what is wrong with this syntax? partimage -b -z1 -o save /dev/sda1 /home/hellouser/backup/$answer.gz
[10:47] <nhy> mneptok, there's an open source driver
[10:47] <anthropus> currently i use window$ but i'm planning (and eager) to install ubuntu. should i wait for the final release of feisty fawn, or should i install edgy eft now and then upgrade to feisty as soon as it's released?
[10:48] <nevermind> anthropus: depends on your will
[10:48] <trond> anthropus: Feisty is supposed to be release 7 April, running edgy 6.10 and bery 0.2.0 here, love it :)
[10:48] <anthropus> hmm
[10:48] <anthropus> ok
[10:48] <anthropus> :)
[10:48] <anthropus> i'll wait for feisty
[10:49] <anthropus> and then "dive" into ubuntu
[10:49] <trond> Just migrated back to linux after some years without linux, good to be back and no traces of microsoft (exept some ntfs volumes) left :)
[10:49] <nhy> By the way, I just joined the bcm43xx channel and it seems that bcm43xx is broken in feisty
[10:50] <dilch> why does ubuntu refuse to put lxdvdrip into the repositories?
[10:50] <Xtyn> does someone know how to install an integrated sd cardreader?
[10:51] <Xtyn> texas instruments
[10:51] <dilch> i'll be needing answers. Thank you.
[10:51] <nhy> What's the difference between the Softmac and mac80211 drivers?
[10:52] <ghetek> what is wrong with my script? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10586/
[10:53] <dilch> i'll be needing answers about lxdvdrip, and i'll be needing them now. Thank you.
[10:53] <magik> ah hah, so i think i figured it out, i have to install the pear package manager first? apache2 distro through ubuntu doesn't include it?
[10:54] <mkquist> real_aussie - so why not run the script at a diff runlevel? like 3?
[10:55] <Shub> nevermind, mind if i ask you wich package i can use for Mondo? redhat, fedora, mandriva, opensuse, suse, debian, gentoo ... :p
[10:55] <lisapc> My line speed is 12.3 Mbps. Is that good?
[10:55] <dilch> real_aussie, are you aboriginal?
[10:56] <nevermind> Shub: i use debian packages
[10:56] <Shub> k, i actually found it in synaptic. Should probably have checked there first ;)
[10:56] <mkquist> real_aussie - nm that last
[10:57] <mneptok> why not use Ubuntu packages?
[10:57] <nevermind> but there's a ubuntu package also: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/utils/mondo
[10:57] <nevermind> Shub: right
[10:57] <Shub> oh, doesnt list it on the mondo page
[10:57] <dilch> mneptok, i would, but they refuse to include lxdvdrip into the repositories
[10:57] <nevermind> Shub: you have to enable universe repos
[10:57] <Smoke2k> Does any girl want to celebrate st. patricks day with me ?
[10:57] <mneptok> dilch: "they?"
[10:57] <ultimobyte> exit
[10:58] <Shub> yeah i got installed now
[10:58] <dilch> mneptok, the keepers of the official repositories
[10:58] <dilch> that 'they'
[10:58] <nevermind> mneptok: why the big deal?
[10:58] <mneptok> nevermind: huh?
[10:58] <Smoke2k> I will make your crotch turn green from my herpes so you can really celebrate
[10:58] <Smoke2k> I have advanced case
[10:58] <mneptok> dilch: feel free to package it for multiverse
[10:58] <dilch> mneptok, i think i'll have to
[10:59] <nevermind> mneptok: about the lxdvdrip package
[10:59] <Smoke2k> Happy st. patricks day almost everyone
[10:59] <dilch> mneptok, i'm just unsure as to why it's not there already ... but yeah, i'll package it
[10:59] <dilch> gives me something new to do, anyway ;)
[10:59] <mneptok> dilch: because no one has cared about it yet?
[11:00] <real_aussie> dilch: I was born here: what does that make me? All that the aboriginals have got on me is a few extra generations. I've only got one generation. I don't think quantity matters.  Isn't it all about the feeling of belonging?
[11:00] <dilch> mneptok, that's why i was surprised. With so much superfluous crap in the repositories, the best command-line dvdripper wasn't there?
[11:00] <huckster> hello
[11:00] <dilch> real_aussie,  i guess that's a "no"
[11:01] <mneptok> !offtopic
[11:01] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:01] <dilch> real_aussie, so someone who has immigrated to australia isn't a 'real aussie'?
[11:01] <huckster> I successfully installed samba. Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to see my Ubuntu machine from Windows XP on laptop. Any ideas?
[11:01] <dilch> anyway, yeah it's OT
[11:02] <kraypius> /dev/sda2 /media/winxp ntfs rw,umask=0222,uid=kraypius 0 0
[11:02] <kraypius> /dev/sda4 /media/SHARE vfat rw,umask=0222,uid=kraypius 0 0
[11:02] <kraypius> why is root the only user who can write to those?
[11:02] <dilch> kraypius, because they are MS partitions
[11:02] <lisapc> can I install Opera on Edgy?
[11:03] <rambo3> kraypius, dont write to ntfs
[11:03] <dilch> kraypius, just the way it works when mounting them
[11:03] <dilch> rambo3, i write to it all the time
[11:03] <huckster> rambo3 what's wrong with that?
[11:03] <kraypius> i just want to be able to save file and drag and drop to the FAT patition
[11:03] <kraypius> partition**
[11:03] <anthropus> does k3b (a cd/dvd burner for kde) run on a gnome environment?
[11:03] <huckster> kraypius you should be able to do that.
[11:03] <trond> lisapc, yup
[11:04] <kraypius> huckster, only root can write to them for some reason
[11:04] <kraypius> those 2 lines are from my fstab
[11:04] <mneptok> kraypius: be sure the mount point has tho proper permissions
[11:04] <mneptok> *the
[11:04] <dilch> ntfs-g seems to be holding up, with no write corruption so far. This is a new development, so there may be problems, but for once I haven't had them
[11:04] <kraypius> are those lines incorrect for allowing the user: kraypius  to write?
[11:04] <nevermind> krang: i use dmask=777 and fmask=777 on my w$ share and works for all users
[11:05] <lisapc> trond, how?
[11:05] <nevermind> sry, taht was fro you kraypius
[11:05] <kraypius> nevermind, so i should just add those to what I have there?
[11:05] <crazy_bus> is it possible to use your broadband account and modem on another persons computer in a different house?  Because the ubuntu guide tells me I need to install drivers for the built in dialup modem
[11:05] <mneptok> lisapc: it's in the repos
[11:05] <kraypius> should i take anything out?
[11:05] <nevermind> kraypius: actually i don't use umask
[11:06] <kraypius> let me see your fstab
[11:06] <nevermind> kraypius: just try
[11:06] <real_aussie> dilch: I certainly don't feel like I belong to either of my parent's European countries: they both got displaced and disenfranchised by Hitler's lot: and now they're naturalised Aussies. *I*'ve never felt the need for better roots than simply growing up here in this far wide brown land. I certainly don't feel like a native of Latvia/Russia or other European principality.
[11:06] <lisapc> mneptok, ah great :)
[11:06] <ADminS> how i can make mic working under Linux ?
[11:06] <ADminS> i tried alot but its not working :S
[11:06] <trond> Lisapc: Administration --> system sources. Enable the restricted sources. Then start synaptic and search for Opera
[11:07] <anthropus> does k3b (a cd/dvd burner for kde) run on a gnome environment?
[11:07] <JLuca> hi all I have a very strange problem: my webcam is working fine with capturing software such as camorama or gqcam but it doesn't work at all neither with kopete nor with amsn.
[11:07] <lisapc> mneptok, any ideas why my mouse pointer goes crazy and flies around the screen sometimes?
[11:07] <trond> Lisapc: Good to see that your are fond of norwegian software btw :)
[11:07] <mneptok> ADminS: alsamix
[11:07] <lisapc> trond, :)
[11:07] <mneptok> lisapc: bad USB port?
[11:07] <nevermind> kraypius: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10587/
[11:07] <ADminS> mneptok: alsamixr
[11:07] <lisapc> mneptok, it does it on usb port #1 and #2
[11:08] <my-kairi> where can i get support for beryl-vidcap?
[11:08] <mneptok> lisapc: poor BIOS?
[11:08] <JLuca> could anybody tell me why (I compiled by myself my pwc module, following posts on the ubuntu forum)
[11:08] <lisapc> it juts jumped 5 secs ago
[11:08] <kraypius> ty
[11:08] <lisapc> mneptok, poor bios?  really?
[11:08] <mneptok> yeos
[11:08] <Menasim1> I cant install packeges
[11:08] <lisapc> mneptok, whats the fix?  new mb?
[11:08] <Menasim1> I think there is mising files
[11:08] <mneptok> we have a Dell here whose BIOS undervolts the USB, and Ubuntu thus sees *no* input devices
[11:09] <kraypius> oh cool u can put samba shares in fstab
[11:09] <lisapc> mneptok, No candidate version found for opera
[11:09] <ADminS> mneptok: mic boss is 100% but no i can't hear voice from mic and am sure mic is working because i tested it with Windows
[11:09] <nevermind> kraypius: :) just make sure to apt-get smbfs
[11:09] <solkaris> Does anyone know how to remove a folder from the Places menu?
[11:09] <mneptok> lisapc: did you update?
[11:09] <lisapc> mneptok, does that mean i need to replace the mb?
[11:09] <kraypius> k
[11:09] <lisapc> mneptok, sudo aptitude update
[11:10] <steckdose2007> ADminS: have you install drivers`?
[11:10] <nevermind> lisapc: he means to upgrade your bios
[11:10] <dilch> real_aussie, ah, you are the child of immigrants ... my family has been here in aus for 5 generations. I find children of immigrants are more likely to try and prove their "australian-ness". The term 'real aussie' is often used by racists, that's why i asked you. These 'real aussies' are seldom real aussies (ie. Aboriginals), but more the sons of immigrants eager to have an identity.
[11:10] <kraypius> nevermind, do i need smbclient as well?
[11:10] <ADminS> steckdose2007: i don't know to be honest am hearing voice when i run any song so i think thats mean driver installed
[11:10] <lisapc> mneptok, No! its a new laptop
[11:11] <jamey-uk2> hi

[11:11] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[11:11] <lisapc> opera is not found when I try to install. any ideas?  I have enabled all repos
[11:11] <nevermind> kraypius: dun remember the dependencies, but more is not bad
[11:11] <jamey-uk2> I'm running Ubuntu server (dapper) and trying to remove lighttpd but I get " subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1". Any ideas?
[11:11] <trond> lisapc: hmm, you may have to do a refresh in synaptic
[11:12] <lisapc> trond, i did that already
[11:12] <trond> lisapc: or terminal--> apt-get update
[11:12] <ADminS> steckdose2007:  00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) <--- this output of lspci
[11:12] <trond> ok that is weird
[11:12] <ADminS> ops
[11:12] <mneptok> lisapc: what does "new" have to do with it?
[11:12] <lisapc> mneptok, ok
[11:12] <ADminS> i meant this one 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[11:12] <lisapc> mneptok, maybe a BIOS update will fix it
[11:13] <jamey-uk2> Can someone help me with my apt-get remove problem?
[11:13] <steckdose2007> ADminS: perhaps the driver for your mic are not the same one
[11:13] <ADminS> steckdose2007: so can you help me to know if it is the same or not :)
[11:13] <lisapc> trond, it doesnt find opera.  any other ideas?
[11:14] <lisapc> thats weird.  YOU'RE RIGHT! I'm over compensating. (Curse you, Berkely!) OK: whadya suggest?: I'm 1st gen: northern european by genes, but aus by outlook: I used to use "TheFamousBlurt" since I invented a particular smiley face in about 1975 after reading "Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut.
[11:16] <lisapc> nevermind,  i downloaded that file you gave and it says ERROR: conflict with package Opera!   did it break my edgy now?
[11:17] <trond> Lisapc: Download directly from their site
[11:17] <mneptok> real_aussie / dilch: enough.
[11:17] <mneptok> stop. now.
[11:17] <trond> Lisapc: I think they have a deb
[11:17] <dilch> real_aussie, now that you referenced Vonnegut all is forgiven :)
[11:17] <lisapc> trond, i dl from the websire nevermind gave
[11:17] <dilch> yes sir
[11:17] <lisapc> trond, how can I now reverse what it did?
[11:17] <nevermind> ADminS: enable all tracks you get on edit/preferences and check what happens if you enable them
[11:18] <nevermind> lisapc: you didn't broke edgy
[11:18] <real_aussie> sorry: OK, any more on how to install an NVIDIA driver that (a) does NOT want X running, but (b) does NOT want single-user mode?
[11:18] <lisapc> trond, its from opera direct anyway
[11:18] <ADminS> edit/preferences?
[11:18] <trond> Lisapc: Don't think there is a problem?
[11:18] <jamey-uk2> wols_: any ideas?
[11:18] <barata> hallo all, my Alt-F2 is dead in both gnome & xfce4
[11:18] <nevermind> lisapc: try to do it from terminal: sudo dpkg -i package-name.deb
[11:18] <trond> Hmm I wonder if opera use less memory than firefox
[11:18] <lisapc> nevermind, opera loads
[11:19] <trond> Haven't used opera in a long time
[11:19] <lisapc> nevermind, it said ERROR: conflict with package Opera.  But it seems to load ok!  how come?
[11:19] <barata> I have a feeling that xfce4's Alt-F2 is related to Gnome's, am I right?
[11:19] <trond> lisapc: Don't think it installed anything if you got that message
[11:19] <jamey-uk2> Does anyone know why apt-get doesnt remove "lighttpd" package because of this error: "invoke-rc.d: initscript lighttpd, action "stop" failed."
[11:20] <nevermind> never got such error...
[11:20] <lisapc> trond, it did
[11:20] <mneptok> real_aussie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:20] <dilch> real_aussie, the driver doesn't want X running? These the normal nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-lgacy ones?
[11:20] <lisapc> nevermind, but i doouble cliked on the file and installed it from the GUI
[11:20] <Stonekeeper> hi. Can anyone help me get a Highpoint raid card working in ubuntu?
[11:20] <mneptok> jamey-uk2: ensure Lighty is running before you uninstall
[11:21] <trond> lisapc: If you can find the package in synaptic, uninstall it completely and reinstall the one from the opera website?
[11:21] <lisapc> nevermind, GDebi Package installer
[11:21] <jamey-uk2> mneptok: but why :@ stupid script, its already not running - i dont want to mess with the conf file (its invalid)
[11:21] <Stonekeeper> i got a chicken and egg situation because the raid card hosts all the drives in the system
[11:21] <lisapc> trond, i told you already! its from the opera website
[11:21] <mneptok> jamey-uk2: read what i said again.
[11:21] <lisapc> trond, opera_9.10-20061214.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb
[11:21] <mneptok> jamey-uk2: ensure Lighty *************** is ******************** running before you uninstall
[11:21] <nevermind> jamey-uk2: check this out https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/lighttpd/+bug/68401
[11:22] <nevermind> lisapc: right, that's the one
[11:22] <nevermind> does it work?
[11:22] <dilch> jamey-uk2, it needs to run, as shown by the error ... the script is trying to stop lighttpd first, and exiting when it can't find it running
[11:22] <steckdose2007> ADminS: sry but i must go..nice day
[11:22] <ADminS> thx steckdose2007 :D
[11:23] <lisapc> nevermind, yeah it  runs
[11:23] <ADminS> u 2
[11:23] <lisapc> nevermind, can I ignore then that Error?
[11:23] <nevermind> lisapc: yup, probably just a version warning
[11:23] <lisapc> ok
[11:23] <nevermind> ADminS: sry, yes, edit/prefferences
[11:23] <lisapc> nevermind, it even installed an Icon in the menu
[11:24] <ADminS> what is edit/prefferences :D
[11:24] <nevermind> in alsamixer
[11:24] <ADminS> aha
[11:24] <ADminS> ok
[11:24] <real_aussie> mneptok & dilch: I was trying to use NVIDIA's installer script from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html which has the two requirement sof r(a) no X & (b) not single user -- I'll try mneptok's suggestion for using the restricted module instead.
[11:24] <ADminS> already all enabled
[11:24] <barata> I have a feeling that xfce4's Alt-F2 is related to Gnome's, am I right?
[11:25] <barata> hallo all, my Alt-F2 is dead in both gnome & xfce4
[11:25] <nevermind> ADminS: do you have a 'commuters' tab?
[11:25] <morpheus74> Hello.
[11:25] <ADminS> nevermind:  no
[11:26] <kraypius> nevermind, now I cant read or write to the drives. here is what I have now:

[11:26] <ADminS> no
[11:26] <formation> Please what are you say?
[11:27] <morpheus74> I'm having trouble connecting wireless.  I've configured my wifi card with NDSI wrapper to work at home with my cable modem using a wireless router, but I'm at another location that uese a DSL wifi modem.  Any suggestions?
[11:27] <nevermind> kraypius: well, as i remember, on my own drive i used umask=000 and on the network shares i used dmask and fmask, sry bout that
[11:27] <formation> hello
[11:27] <nevermind> ADminS: guess it's not recognizing audio capture then
[11:28] <nevermind> ADminS: have you checked for audio drivers?
[11:28] <kraypius> anything else i should add before i save and reboot?
[11:28] <nevermind> kraypius: whay reboot?
[11:28] <nevermind> why*
[11:28] <nevermind> just do sudo umount -a and then sudo mount -a
[11:28] <kraypius> i dunno
[11:28] <sebrock> anyone got skype up and running on the x64 version of Edgy?
[11:28] <nevermind> :) i hardly reboot ubuntu
[11:29] <kraypius> okay so now I have

[11:29] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[11:29] <kraypius> !
[11:29] <dilch> kraypius, those aren't the right fstab entries. You can add umask=0000 or change the dmask=0000 fmask=0111
[11:29] <ADminS> nevermind: look i opened from command line alsamixer and i just make all 100% that wat i did ,,but seems u talking abut GUI so what GUI i should open?
[11:29] <Menasim1> I cant install packeges
[11:30] <dilch> kraypius, that should work now
[11:30] <kraypius> 000 or 0000 ?
[11:31] <nevermind> ADminS: errr, volume control?
[11:31] <nevermind> dilch: actually that it's a fstab entry
[11:32] <nevermind> 3 0's or 4 are the same
[11:32] <dilch> kraypius, and if you want to read and write to ntfs partitions, install ntfs-config
[11:32] <mfd> hmm, kraypius from bhf?
[11:32] <Helmi> all voip programs report errors with my headset (ubs) device. any ideas what the problem could be?
[11:32] <kraypius> ya

[11:33] <mfd> great
[11:33] <mfd> !
[11:33] <nevermind> Helmi: what errors?
[11:33] <dcordes> my iwconfig keeps setting my essid automatically to "WLAN" when i up or ifup my interface. how can i avoid this? i want it to be set to nothing

[11:34] <ADminS> nevermind: ok all enabled
[11:34] <nevermind> Helmi: does it work with regular sound?
[11:34] <mneptok> dcordes: sudo iwconfig $interface essid any
[11:35] <nevermind> ADminS: did you get another tab besides reproduction?
[11:35] <Helmi> nevermind: yes - but wait a sec - now my usb stuff has a general problem - i'll be back in a few mins
[11:35] <ADminS> yes
[11:35] <real_aussie> mneptok: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx failed on the "linux-restricted-modules" one (the middle of three commands), but I checked the Synaptic Package Manager, and "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic" and a couple of similar entries nearby were checked (on), I'll now install the nvidia glx one...
[11:35] <nevermind> ADminS: ok, check out there, you should have a mic capture thing, check it
[11:35] <morpheus74> How can I get this old Dell running Ubuntu to work with the wifi card consistently?  I can get a spotty connection, but when I run under WinXP it works just fine.  Any ideas?
[11:35] <ADminS> ok
[11:36] <apokryphos> !wifi
[11:36] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:36] <dcordes> @mneptok: well thanks but that's not what i'm looking for. also my iwconfig used to keep the essid i typed in. for example when i set the essid to foobar it is reset to WLAN on reboot, ifdown/up
[11:37] <mneptok> dcordes: pastebin /etc/network/interfaces
[11:37] <dcordes> ok
[11:38] <thcmonkey> anyone know anything about hi-def gfx cards?
[11:39] <kraypius> someone was just saying i need ntfs-config if i want to write to ntfs? im not seeing that package
[11:39] <Huffalump> pothead, you mean like DRM-enabled cards?
[11:39] <Huffalump> kraypius, check out ntfs-3g
[11:39] <kraypius> ahh
[11:39] <kraypius> k
[11:39] <dcordes> mneptok: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10591/
[11:40] <nevermind> either way i do not write on ntfs partitions (neither i have ones)
[11:40] <kraypius> well im feelin lucky today
[11:40] <mneptok> dcordes: change "wireless-essid WLAN" to the essid you want, or remove the line
[11:41] <dcordes> mneptok: great thanks
[11:41] <nevermind> k, leaving now... bye all
[11:41] <kraypius> bye thx for help

[11:44] <UB`> sebrock try read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1143584
[11:45] <UB`> gorski sudo chmod ...
[11:45] <mneptok> gorski: no' as Linux has no concept of NTFS pyermissions. you need to change the permissions of the mount point
[11:45] <UB`> oh yes

[11:46] <mneptok> sebrock: it's not in your $PATH
[11:47] <sebrock> mneptok, ok so how do I add it so skype will use it?
[11:47] <bimberi> phomes: packages that you have installed manually (using dpkg or gdebi for example) that aren't in the activate repositories
[11:47] <mneptok> locate libaudio.so.2
[11:48] <sebrock> yes
[11:48] <mneptok> where is it?

[11:50] <sebrock> mneptok, how do I remove that thing you just told me?
[11:50] <mneptok> sebrock: ls -l /usr/lib/libaudio.so.2
[11:50] <phomes> bimberi: strange, I have not installed anything manually. This is a herd 4 install that I have been upgrading since its release
[11:51] <sebrock> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-02-13 12:11 /usr/lib/libaudio.so.2 -> libaudio.so.2.4
[11:51] <mneptok> sebrock: taht file is a symlink
[11:51] <sebrock> I see that
[11:51] <mneptok> sebrock: complain to Skype about not honoring symlinks :)
[11:51] <bimberi> phomes: or installed a package from a repository that you've since disabled?  or perhaps it has been removed from the repository by its administrator(s)
[11:51] <sebrock> hmm...
[11:51] <mneptok> sebrock: ls -l /usr/lib/libaudio.so.2.4
[11:52] <sebrock> mneptok, how do I remove that path?
[11:52] <sebrock> mneptok, nevermind I will uninstall it
[11:52] <mneptok> sebrock: it will be gone next itme you open a terminal
[11:52] <phomes> bimberi, perhaps the latter then. Thanks
[11:52] <sebrock> ok
[11:53] <bimberi> phomes: yw :)
[11:54] <sebrock> mneptok, how do I remove the package?
[11:54] <mneptok> sebrock: how did you install it?
[11:54] <sebrock> dpkg
[11:55] <mneptok> dpkg -r
[11:56] <sebrock> ok
[11:56] <morpheus74>  I've configured the network setting in Ubuntu accroding to the wiki, but I still cannot get access.  Please help!

[11:58] <UB`> sebrock dpkg -P
[11:58] <UB`> purge every files
[11:59] <sebrock> UB`, what does purge mean?
[11:59] <UB`> search in the dictionary :)
[11:59] <Heroin> sebrock purge means totally remove
[11:59] <UB`> yep
[11:59] <Heroin> to purge > to remove all instances of one
[11:59] <CheshireViking> any know of a website that i can download video codecs? I'm looking for the "MWV1" codec, the developer website doesn't list it anymore, I found an installer for windows, but no other traces of it on the web?
[11:59] <sebrock> UB`, aslo should the command be followed by the package name or what?
[11:59] <gorski> can i change the write permition on directory My Documents(Windows XP)
[11:59] <Heroin> UB' thanks for your help yestrday.. my server is running fine now
[11:59] <bimberi> morpheus74: System -> Administration -> Networking and reconfigure the Wireless connection
[11:59] <UB`> sebrock of course
[11:59] <UB`> man dpkg
[11:59] <sebrock> ok
[12:00] <UB`> Heroin I'm happy for you :)
[12:00] <UB`> gorski you obtained an answer a few minutes ago
[12:01] <gorski> sorry
[12:01] <Jancker> hi all
[12:02] <morpheus74> bimberi, Thanks.  I think I did this by deselecting the box next to the wireless icon, making adding the essid, and then rechecking the box next to the wireless icon.  Is there something different I should be doing?  The weird this is, this wifi card works fine when at home.  Should it auto detect the wireless network?
[12:03] <tarelerulz> Is there any large distro that work on usb hard drives that are like Ubuntu in there compleness
[12:03] <sebrock> UB`, one more question: I installed libqt3-mt i386 also, how would I remove this? same way? or will I also delete other x64 things?
[12:03] <UB`> same way or use aptitude
[12:04] <UB`> aptitude pure or remove <package>
[12:04] <bimberi> morpheus74: that's the usual way.  However there is networkmanager which simplifies the process a lot.  Not sure if it works with ndiswrapper but it's worth a try...
[12:04] <bimberi> !networkmanager | morpheus74
[12:04] <ubotu> morpheus74: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[12:04] <analyzer> hello all
[12:05] <binary0> hello analyzer
[12:05] <analyzer> does ubuntu have packages support by arch
[12:05] <analyzer> i mean if i have athlong-xp
[12:05] <analyzer> can i install optimized for my cpu apps?
[12:05] <analyzer> or just common i686?
[12:06] <sebrock> UB`, now it started to download the file instead?????
[12:06] <sebrock> as something was broken?
[12:06] <Nokao> hi: i need help with ubuntu. My db2 stopped to work, with some troubleshooting i discovered that there is some script that is removing the "chmod u+s" flag of a file (/home/db2inst1/sqllib/security/db2ckpw) at every reboot. That file makes db2 get the user passwords from the system. How can i find that damn script and avoid the problem?
[12:06] <UB`> sebrock what did u do?
[12:06] <perverted> hi friends, I currently have two network cards in my ubuntu box eth0 eth1. eth1 is setup as default, how do i get certain programs to use eth0's ip to access the internet?
[12:06] <ikonia> Nokao: look at the /home/db2inst1/sqllib/security/db2ckpw and see what its doing
[12:06] <morpheus74> bimberi, I'm a newbie, is !networkmanage | morpheus74 a command line command?
[12:06] <UB`> perverted man route
[12:06] <sebrock> UB`, aptitude purge <.deb>
[12:07] <ikonia> perverted: use an iptables rule
[12:07] <UB`> sebrock packege name go without .deb
[12:07] <ikonia> perverted: or change the routing table
[12:07] <sebrock> UB`, ok...
[12:07] <jrib> Nokao: grep maybe but that would take a long time... I would leave it overnight if I couldn't think of another approach
[12:07] <UB`> example: aptitude remove skype
[12:07] <sebrock> UB`, well It could not be found now
[12:07] <sebrock> UB`, so I guess I uninstalled it then
[12:07] <UB`> well done
[12:08] <sebrock> heh tnx
[12:08] <jrib> Nokao: I'd start with my users directory
[12:08] <perverted> is the setup i have different from "vhosts" ?
[12:08] <Nokao> ikonia : it's a binary
[12:08] <kaso> What's the command to see which process is using a certain file? (thus locking it)
[12:08] <UB`> sebrock test it with "dpkg -l | grep <packega>"
[12:08] <ikonia> Nokao: so its not a script then, so its the binary thats asking for the password
[12:08] <jrib> kaso: fuser
[12:08] <UB`> dpkg -l lists every package you have installed/removed/etc...
[12:09] <Nokao> yes but who is removing it's +s flag?
[12:09] <Nokao> it needs it to take the password from the sistem
[12:09] <ikonia> Nokao: on the binary ?
[12:09] <Nokao> yes: that file must be u+s chmodded
[12:09] <ikonia> chmod it then
[12:09] <Nokao> at every reboot something removes it's u+s
[12:09] <ikonia> I see
[12:09] <ikonia> well grep through the init scripts
[12:09] <bimberi> morpheus74: no it's a trigger to ubotu to address the !networkmanager factoid to you :)
[12:09] <sebrock> UB`,  gives nothing
[12:09] <Nokao> how can i discover who is doing that?
[12:10] <ikonia> Nokao: grep through the init scripts
[12:10] <kaso> jrib and what does it mean if i do fuser /var/lib/apt/lists/lock and nothing is returned, why is it still locked if noone is using it? and how can i unlock it
[12:10] <morpheus74> I see.
[12:11] <jrib> kaso: do you have synaptic or update-manager open?  Or some other apt or dpkg process running?
[12:11] <Nokao> i did a find /etc/init.d | xargs grep chmod
[12:11] <morpheus74> bimberi, Thaks for your help.
[12:11] <Nokao> but nothing with -R results
[12:11] <Nokao> and nothing to that file
[12:11] <UB`> sebrock not possible, paste the command you use
[12:11] <kaso> Nope, ive just booted up about 4min ago, i opened irc and firefox, went to install something with aptitude and it blocked telling me it was locked
[12:11] <ikonia> Nokao: just grep through the init scripts
[12:12] <sebrock> UB`, I did
[12:12] <Madasoka> windows roxx!
[12:12] <sebrock> UB`, dpkg -l | grep skype_debian-<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb
[12:12] <UB`> none!
[12:12] <Madasoka> lunix suxx!
[12:12] <far0k_work> Hi how can i edit my hosts file so all domains resolve to one ip?
[12:12] <UB`> just "skype"
[12:12] <ikonia> Madasoka: thats great, please stop trolling
[12:12] <sebrock> ok
[12:12] <UB`> without anything
[12:12] <Madasoka> far0k: Use vista
[12:12] <ikonia> !opas
[12:12] <ikonia> !ops
[12:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opas - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:13] <sebrock> UB`, that also gives nothing
[12:13] <jrib> Nokao: what are the permissions on the file?  Can any user change those permissions or would it have had to have been a script with root privileges?
[12:13] <Madasoka> ikonia I'm trolling?
[12:13] <ikonia> good morning
[12:13] <Madasoka> ?
[12:13] <larson9999> wth? firefox has been locking up on me lately when i bookmark a site.
[12:13] <nalioth> Madasoka: this is a support channel, all other topics need to go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:14] <sebrock> UB`, that also gives nothing, just a new prompt

[12:14] <larson9999> oh, seems i'm not the only one that happens to :)
[12:17] <Unclown> Hello
[12:18] <kraypius> there is a little padlock showing over one of my directories and i cant write to it from user: kraypius . I tried chmod -R 777  as root but i still cant write to it as kraypius
[12:18] <nalioth> kraypius: oooh, bad idea
[12:18] <jrib> kraypius: what directory?
[12:19] <nalioth> kraypius: chmod -R will mess you all up if improperly used
[12:19] <kraypius> a directory containing my web dev files
[12:19] <jrib> kraypius: join us in #ubuntu-classroom
[12:20] <kraypius> im there
[12:21] <sebrock> is it common that sound does not work after resuming a suspend state?
[12:22] <Unclown> Anyone know much about Linux and RAID (SATA) cards and the DDF-x drive initialisation format? I have a potentially dead RAID card I can't get to function - I managed (stupidly) to get it all set up nicely, in RAID-1 (Seagate 320GB), but then things came unstuck. Basically, I can't get the card functioning, and don't have another or similar to use to get the data off with. Was wondering if anyone knew if the Linux kernel does DDF-x recognit
[12:24] <PepoBSD> i have problem with broadcom and ndiswrapper says hardware present, driver present
[12:24] <PepoBSD> iwconfig says eth1 like my wireless
[12:24] <PepoBSD> but if i do iwlist scan says no such device
[12:25] <Unclown> Pepo: What does 'ifconfig' show?
[12:25] <enyc> Unclown: well
[12:25] <enyc> Unclown: if the format... has header etc...
[12:25] <PepoBSD> just eht0 and lo
[12:25] <enyc> Unclown: but otherwise its just a raid-1 mirror...
[12:26] <enyc> Unclown: you may be able to mount filesystems with careful use of the offset= facility  to copy your data off..
[12:26] <PepoBSD> Unclown, if i do ifconfig eth1 up : SIOCSIFFLAGS
[12:26] <Unclown> enyc: when I do a 'cfdisk /dev/<drive>' it wants me to zero disk...
[12:26] <enyc> Unclown: i.e. even if the partition-table has 55AA missing or whatever... you may be able to do something like "mount /dev/sda /mount/recovery -o ro,offset=32256" or similar
[12:26] <sebrock> is it common that sound does not work after resuming a suspend state? anyone?
[12:27] <enyc> Unclown: yes... there is probably some header or nobbled-partitiontable courtesy of the way the RAID controller writes the disks
[12:27] <enyc> Unclown: Im saying... you may be able to directly mount the relevant partition if you can see where it starts in bytes relative to the beginning of the disk as you see it now
[12:27] <enyc> Unclown: in order to recover your data
[12:28] <enyc> Unclown: since you have a mirror arrangement
[12:28] <Unclown> pepo: Not 100% on that - try a google search?
[12:28] <enyc> Unclown: do you understand ??
[12:28] <mneptok> PepoBSD: iwlist $interface scan
[12:29] <rambo3> PepoBSD, what is is maped as ? sudo lshw -C network |grep logical
[12:29] <Unclown> enyc: I think I see what you're saying - currently one of the drives is disconnected - so I can stuff^^fix this drive and my data is ok if all goes south :-) Ta!
[12:29] <enyc> Unclown: err....
[12:29] <enyc> Unclown: if you send me the first 128 sectors of the disk ill tell you what I can see/think...
[12:29] <Unclown> Well, being cautious of course
[12:29] <enyc> Unclown: erm... What partitions did you have on the raid?
[12:30] <PepoBSD> Unclown, yes, but see this i do m-a a-i ndiswrapper then i need ndiswrapper-util >= 1.8.1 and i have 1.8 how i can find it?
[12:30] <PepoBSD> cos ndiswrapper-modules need that
[12:30] <Unclown> pepo: that is over my head sorry - I can't help any further
[12:31] <Unclown> Enyc: Umm - mind explaining how I do that? (disk sectors)
[12:31] <enyc> Unclown: erm... What partitions did you have on the raid?
[12:31] <enyc> Unclown: ill explain the other in a min ;-)
[12:31] <PepoBSD> rambo3, logical name eth0 logical name eth1
[12:32] <Unclown> 100MB /Boot......4GB Linux SWAP.......4GB FAT32 SWAP........ummm...60GB NTFS ......60GB Ext3 / ...60GB Data1......60GB Data2... something like this anyway.
[12:33] <enyc> o
[12:33] <enyc> hrrm
[12:33] <enyc> i see
[12:33] <enyc> so the partition you need to recover from is not at the beginning
[12:33] <enyc> ok
[12:33] <enyc> fine
[12:33] <enyc> anyway
[12:33] <apokryphos> !enter | enyc
[12:33] <ubotu> enyc: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:33] <enyc> you have the disk in as /dev/sd?? and you are booting from another disk... ?
[12:33] <[BTF] Chm0d> hey guys how do i find the busid for my vid card?
[12:33] <oxigen> how can i start script.sh on boot?
[12:33] <rambo3> PepoBSD, so  "iwlist eth1 scanning " returns nothing
[12:34] <[BTF] Chm0d> and its not in xorg
[12:34] <enyc> apokryphos: I was just thinking that myself ;-)
[12:34] <apokryphos> =)
[12:34] <Unclown> Currently running LiveCD Ubuntu Dapper 6.06
[12:34] <PepoBSD> interface doesn`t support scanning: no such device
[12:35] <enyc> Unclown: if you "dd if=/dev/sda count=128 of=128sectors.bin" ... that will copy the first 128 512-byte sectors of /dev/sda to "128sectors.bin"
[12:35] <bimberi> [BTF] Chm0d: lspci | grep VGA
[12:35] <[BTF] Chm0d> thx
[12:35] <enyc> Unclown: so I can see the partition table remnants and soforth at teh beginning (64k of data)
[12:36] <enyc> Unclown: need some way of sending it to me ;-)
[12:36] <piranesi> anybody who help me with wpa_supplicant? I get a "no suitable AP found"
[12:36] <[BTF] Chm0d> bimberi: i got this do I put this exactly as it is in my xorg? 01:00.0
[12:36] <rambo3> PepoBSD, ok , i never used ndiswrapper . only iwconfig and dhclient  for wirelsess
[12:37] <bimberi> [BTF] Chm0d: BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
[12:37] <Unclown> Enyc: Did that, have a 64k file named as such - I have e-mail (web) access - what suits you?
[12:37] <[BTF] Chm0d> ty very much bimberi
[12:37] <bimberi> [BTF] Chm0d: yw :)
[12:37] <enyc> Unclown: see /msg sent to you
[12:38] <Unclown> Enyc: Will try t figure out how :-)
[12:38] <enyc> Unclown: oh... i wrote to _you_ rather than to #ubuntu... it should appear as another window... if you are in irssi you need to use ctrl+n to switch windows
[12:39] <Unclown> Enyc: Got it thanks :-)
[12:39] <Unclown> Have tried a transfer - will e-mail as well?
[12:40] <enyc> email yes
[12:44] <Unclown> Enyc: mail sent.
[12:44] <kraypius> whats the best media player to install?
[12:45] <Pici> !best
[12:45] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[12:46] <kraypius> we
[12:46] <kraypius> well, for instance, on windows i prefer winamp
[12:46] <gordonjcp> kraypius: xmms will probably be fairly suitable then
[12:46] <Pici> kraypius: xmms or beep media player will be similar to you
[12:46] <kraypius> kthx
[12:48] <enyc> Unclown: Part 2, 90KB written to "/home/enyc/128sectors.bin"
[12:48] <kraypius> hmm beep can load winamp skins!
[12:48] <enyc> Unclown: $ hexdump -C 128sectors.bin | less
[12:49] <enyc> Unclown: caught on phone
[12:50] <naught102> freenet's not available as a ubuntu .deb yet?
[12:52] <Unclown> Enyc: No probs - some of it looks like part of the controllers config I have seen in its onboard logfile... the '0020' '00ff' etc...
[12:52] <enyc> Unclown: yes... i dont recognize this!
[12:53] <enyc> Unclown: also I can't see the ptbl even theer... looks like there may well be quite a bit of header info
[12:54] <enyc> Unclown: hrrm _assuming_ the normally visible part of the disk is contiguous on-disk (** NOT re-organized / split into blocks by the raid controller**) ... you will be able to mount partitions... but you will need to 'find them' on the disk space
[12:55] <enyc> Unclown: i.e. you will need to work out the offset in bytes... and they can be mounted readonly one at a time using -o ro,offset={number}
[12:55] <Unclown> Enyc: Ummm - the controller isn't entirely hosed - it seems to work partially - but not reliably. Am thinking about whether I should nuke one of the 320GB drives, put RAID controller back in, leave it to do its thing (sometimes takes a nbight to 'reset' itself so it works, then you reboot, and its dead again...), then boot LiveCd like now, which seems to be able to talk to native SATA connected drive - and do 'ghost'? type partition copy?
[12:55] <enyc> Unclown: i dont know etc... it could eb done
[12:55] <enyc> Unclown: I wouldnt touch the existing disks myself
[12:56] <simona> ciao a tutti!
[12:56] <enyc> Unclown: cant really tell you much more.. inteseting to see though
[12:58] <OuZo> how can i install SDL? thanks
[12:59] <Unclown> Enyc: When it does work, it seems to boot up as though everything is normal (dies on boot - think in part to new mobo/lots of hardware changes) - so the partiton etc seems to _generally_ be intact... might try that, and not waste any more of your time. Thanks very much for the help! Much appreciated! (And I learnt some things too! :-)
[12:59] <kraypius> how do i get apt to tell me if a package is already installed?
[12:59] <enyc> Unclown: ;-)
[01:00] <jrib> kraypius: apt-cache policy package_name

[01:00] <ubotu> kraypius: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[01:00] <enyc> Unclown: mail me again when youve sorted it...
[01:00] <CoRnJuLiOx> the latest ubuntu package is marked 6.10-i386 for Intel and AMD processors, right?
[01:00] <enyc> CoRnJuLiOx: err release...
[01:00] <enyc> CoRnJuLiOx: latest release is 6.10
[01:00] <Unclown> Enyc: No probs. Once again, thanks for the help! :-)
[01:00] <CoRnJuLiOx> enyc: yeah, i'm hunting for a torrent
[01:00] <CoRnJuLiOx> :-/
[01:01] <Cryoniq> Where is gnome-update manager in Edgy and is it a good idea to use it? =)
[01:01] <sisplau> restricted drivers manager rooolzzzzzzzzzz
[01:01] <sisplau> :DDDDDDD
[01:01] <kraypius> i dont get it.. it says I installed PHP5 but when i run "php" it says command not found
[01:02] <jrib> kraypius: to get the command line client you need to install php5-cli
[01:02] <kraypius> thx
[01:02] <enyc> CoRnJuLiOx: 6.06.1=dapper 6.10=edgy.. well you dont really need a torrent?  theres loads of mirrors on http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/downloadmirrors
[01:02] <Cryoniq> Just noticed 2.18 is released and thinking if I should update from 2.16 (and if it will work with beryl, but that is for another chat room)
[01:02] <enyc> Cryoniq: hrrm ... backported package needed?
[01:02] <jrib> Cryoniq: gnome 2.18 is not available on the stable releases
[01:02] <CoRnJuLiOx> enyc: i've got kTorrent open right now and my cable connection hasn't been what you'd call 'stable'
[01:03] <Cryoniq> Ah.. so even if gnomes official pages tell 2.18 is out it is not on stable release list?
[01:03] <kraypius> can i have php5-cli without php5?
[01:03] <enyc> Cryoniq: well it may be on _gnome_'s stable release
[01:03] <Cryoniq> true :)
[01:03] <enyc> Cryoniq: that doesnt mean that is what is included in ubuntu-edgy 'stable ubuntu'
[01:04] <jrib> !timebasedreleases | Cryoniq
[01:04] <ubotu> Cryoniq: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[01:04] <spinster> hello people how i can unignore one person from my ignore list, I'm Running BitchX
[01:04] <enyc> Cryoniq: ubuntu-edgy was released 2006/10 and "frozen" before that point...
[01:04] <Cryoniq> I understand :)
[01:04] <kraypius> jrib, can i run php5-cli without php5 or does it need it?
[01:04] <IdleOne> spinster, /unignore nickname should work
[01:04] <Cryoniq> Makes sense also =)
[01:04] <serfrs> can anyone tell me how to disable screen blanking  (i'm running openbox)
[01:05] <jrib> kraypius: I don't know.  php5-cli should automatically install whatever you need
[01:05] <spinster> IdleOne: nope is not that command
[01:05] <enyc> kraypius: "apt-cache show php5-cli" will show you the dependancies
[01:05] <kraypius> jrib, well i installed php5 first but i dont want it if i dont need it
[01:05] <kraypius> k
[01:05] <serfrs> i've tried xset -dpms, xset s off, and even xset s force off
[01:05] <spinster> Somebody knows ?
[01:05] <IdleOne> spinster, www.bitchx.org or #bitchx might be more help
[01:05] <jrib> kraypius: well you can do what enyc said or try to remove php5 and see if it wants to remove php5-cli as well
[01:05] <Cryoniq> So maybe we can expect 2.18 in Feisty Fawn then :)
[01:05] <jrib> Cryoniq: yes
[01:05] <Daverocks> spinster: /ignore -r ?
[01:05] <Daverocks> oh well, too late
[01:06] <enyc> Cryoniq: if you really want to run latest versions of everything you may not want to be using ubuntu as-is... you may want to be compiliting everything yourself or using a continuois-high-maintenance-distribution for that sort of thing
[01:06] <Hammwell> how do i install "libapache2-mod-apreq2" when apt-get tells me "Package libapache2-mod-apreq2 is not available, but is referred to by another package"
[01:06] <Cryoniq> =P.....
[01:06] <kraypius> says it needs PHP5-common
[01:06] <enyc> kraypius: this means that if you install php5-cli it will install php5-common ....
[01:06] <jrib> !info libapache2-mod-apreq2
[01:06] <ubotu> libapache2-mod-apreq2: generic Apache request library - Apache module. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.07-1 (edgy), package size 56 kB, installed size 188 kB

[01:07] <enyc> jrib: may not have universe enabled
[01:07] <Cryoniq> enyc, I rather want a stable system, that is why I abandoned Windows totaly after all :)
[01:07] <enyc> jrib: exactly ;-)
[01:07] <mlankhorst> lol
[01:07] <Cryoniq> And so far Edgy been very stable and working very good for me :)
[01:07] <enyc> Cryoniq: well yes... so dont expect the absolite latest everything
[01:07] <enyc> Cryoniq: you are worth being in the position that you can re-install everything that you are using...
[01:07] <enyc> Cryoniq: if need-be... i.e. got the right notes/files
[01:07] <Hammwell> jrib: so how do i get it from the "universe" ?
[01:07] <Cryoniq> He he.. thats why I ask first and check if there might be possible to improve and keep stability :)
[01:08] <enyc> Cryoniq: you can run into unexpected hardware/software combination problems..
[01:08] <jrib> Hammwell: read ubotu's message about enabling universe
[01:08] <Hammwell> jrib: ok thx.
[01:08] <jrib> Hammwell: if something isn't clear there, just let us know
[01:08] <enyc> Cryoniq: so you should try to be in position that you can restore what you have now if need-be
[01:09] <morpheus74> I'm back with problems.  I'm now able to connect wireless, but the connection is so spotty (e.g. I can connect to some sites, but google.com and other sites will not load.)  Any idea what's going on?
[01:09] <Cryoniq> True :) I kept myself from experimenting this far. I am rather doing that on test box beside this one then :)
[01:09] <DiMiX> j<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:09] <mlankhorst> lol
[01:10] <DiMiX> J/ #ubuntu-fr
[01:10] <mlankhorst> it's a miracle my system doesn't break every upgrade
[01:10] <Cryoniq> Also VMWare working good testing some things, but not to be trusted as the same as on a regular install :)
[01:10] <kaushal> How to change the timezone from PST tro EST
[01:11] <mlankhorst> then again, it probably would break if i didn't recompile kernel bzImage and loop module every time
[01:11] <Cryoniq> Hey, btw.. isn't there some other open source virtualisation software around that does what VMWare does? Someone mentioned something, but I seem to forgot what
[01:11] <mlankhorst> qemu or xen?
[01:12] <serfrs> can anyone tell me how to disable screen blanking  (i'm running openbox)
[01:13] <kjempe> can anybody help me with a firefox issue?
[01:13] <morpheus74> Using ubuntu 6.10, how can I tell the strength of m?y wireless connection
[01:13] <zyclop> kjempe, just ask
[01:14] <kjempe> ok
[01:14] <kjempe> i tried to install firefox 2.0 on dapper but failed at first. as i tried to re-establish the before-status, i accidentally broke the old firefox. now the new firefox works but the old one is not installable any longer.

[01:15] <kjempe> sorry
[01:15] <kjempe> didn't know
[01:16] <jrib> kjempe: and most here probably do not understand german so try to use  LANGUAGE=en_US  before your commands
[01:16] <Pici> Or ask in #ubuntu-de
[01:16] <kjempe> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10598/
[01:17] <perverted> does anyone know how i could have certain programs use certain nics on my ubuntu box? i have eth0 and eth1 with two different internet sources
[01:17] <perverted> i could do it a cheesy way... disable eth0, run what i need that uses eth1. then enable eth0 and run whatever i need that uses it
[01:18] <kjempe> alright
[01:18] <kjempe> in english: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10599/
[01:18] <MythrilSword> perverted: couldn't you set up routes for different IP ranges ?
[01:19] <jrib> kjempe: "trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/firefox', which is the diverted version of `/usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu'"  does that remind yuou of anything
[01:19] <perverted> MythrilSword: i want to run eggdrop on each eth device, in that case they would have to use different server lists, id prefer each process to have their own device, unless u know another way?
[01:19] <kjempe> neither file exist
[01:19] <perverted> so that it uses both ips
[01:20] <kjempe> that's why i really don't know what's going wrong
[01:20] <jrib> kjempe: the package system still thinks it does, did you delete these files manually?
[01:20] <kjempe> yes
[01:20] <kjempe> i guess
[01:21] <MythrilSword> perverted: if eggie1 connects to ..irc.undernet org, resolve it and set up route that a connection to that goes through NIC1, same for all eggies,servers, might be a bit of work,but it would work, i dont know of a quicker fix
[01:21] <kjempe> i tried to touch /usr/bin/firefox manually but that doesn't work either
[01:21] <kaushal> :
[01:21] <kaushal> :-/
[01:21] <jrib> kjempe: don't do that, that causes the package manager's info to be inaccurate.  Have you ever used some kind of script regarding firefox?
[01:21] <zyclop> kjempe, maybe you should mkdir it

[01:22] <cable_guy> hello
[01:22] <cable_guy> can someone help me please? i have a serious issue concerning hardware acceleration in games
[01:22] <enyc> kaushal: I would think you can "sudo tzconfig" but there might be better ways
[01:22] <kaushal> I have command line
[01:23] <cable_guy> on both of my machines: ibm thinkcentre and thinkpad, one with intel graphics chip and the other with ati radeon
[01:23] <IdleOne> you can also click on the clock and chose preferences and set it there I believe
[01:23] <kjempe> yes, i used some script
[01:23] <cable_guy> both freeze when i run games like second life and diablo 2 under wine
[01:23] <kjempe> i'll post it at that pasting-site
[01:23] <cable_guy> any idea what's causing it?
[01:23] <cable_guy> it's so weird that i have it on both machines
[01:23] <kjempe> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10600/
[01:24] <cable_guy> i tried feisty and edgy and it happens every time
[01:24] <enyc> cable_guy: do those games normally work under that version of wino on any machine?
[01:24] <IdleOne> cable_guy, shot in the dark but how much ram do the machines have
[01:24] <cable_guy> IdleOne, both 512, i think
[01:25] <cable_guy> enyc, simple games that usually work
[01:25] <enyc> cable_guy: usually work under wine on other machines?
[01:25] <IdleOne> cable_guy, also like enyc said does that version of wine run those games
[01:25] <Heroin> Anyone have a mailserver?
[01:25] <cable_guy> IdleOne, Diablo 2 is well supported, and second life is *native*
[01:25] <cable_guy> so it's no a wine issue
[01:26] <MythrilSword> Heroin: have 2 .. i won't let you stab them with needles! :)
[01:26] <Heroin> MythrilSword can i PM u for a second?
[01:26] <MythrilSword> sure
[01:26] <cable_guy> i'm also using stock drivers and configuration
[01:27] <enyc> cable_guy: aah native game
[01:27] <enyc> cable_guy: you may need restricteddrivers (like ati fglrx) for what you need
[01:28] <cable_guy> enyc, tried that and it did not work for me (i guess my card is legacy). the problem is also with intel graphics which has no restricted
[01:28] <cable_guy> is that a serious bug in ubuntu or my machines are somehow fucked up? i'm going nuts here
[01:28] <cable_guy> tried to reinstall like 12 times already and i get the same results every time
[01:30] <enyc> cable_guy: hrrm... good question..  maybe some kind of limitation rather than 'seroious bug' too
[01:31] <IdleOne> !ohmy | cable_guy
[01:31] <ubotu> cable_guy: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:31] <cable_guy> sorry, my bad
[01:31] <IdleOne> no problem
[01:31] <IdleOne> Sheilds UP! the borg_ are here
[01:32] <niller> Anyone here who knows when a video card is perfectly installed ?
[01:32] <CoRnJuLiOx> niller: when it works
[01:32] <IdleOne> when it works
[01:32] <IdleOne> yup
[01:33] <enyc> cable_guy: intel moving to 'open graphics drivers' iirc.. at least fornnew chipsets.
[01:33] <niller> :) Well just invested in nvidia geforce 6600 GT with a water cooling system. The manual says something about a plug
[01:33] <niller> Dont know if it's working though
[01:33] <Huffalump> niller, you might try #hardware
[01:34] <niller> Anyone there using Feisty 7.04 ?
[01:34] <Pici> niller: The harware channel would be better place to ask, but the newer video cards usually have a power molex plug on the end because they require extra power to work properly
[01:34] <seshomaru1234> how do i save a file openned with vi?
[01:34] <Huffalump> niller, could be.  but the OS doesn't matter much to just know if the card is working or how to handle the plug
[01:34] <niller> Pici: Hmm cant find the plug
[01:35] <jrib> seshomaru1234: :w    you should run 'vimtutor' for a good intro
[01:35] <Huffalump> seshomaru1234, to save a file opened in vi, you need to now open emacs...
[01:35] <jrib> Huffalump: evil
[01:35] <Pici> Huffalump: hah
[01:35] <Huffalump> =] ]
[01:35] <niller> Huffalump: Okay I'll try there
[01:36] <seshomaru1234> Huffalump - emacs installed by default on ubuntu?
[01:36] <jrib> Huffalump: it's not
[01:36] <jrib> that was meant for seshomaru1234 :)
[01:36] <zane411> quick question for ya fellahs, can you upgrade from 6.06 lts to edgy eft without updating the kernel?
[01:37] <seshomaru1234> jrib -thanks
[01:37] <Huffalump> seshomaru1234, I recommend jrid's method.  In terminal, type vimtutor and it will teach you.
[01:37] <zane411> my systems got some issues with the kernel that the edgy eft livecd runs
[01:37] <zane411> but 6.06 works
[01:38] <tbuss> need help with wireless connection. after system update wireless connection has been disabled
[01:39] <tbuss> is there an update that causes wireless configuration to become disabled?
[01:40] <sebrock> any already-built-in function to minimize terminal to tray? not using alltray that is
[01:40] <Godsey> how do you specify in interfaces that a dhcp interface should not be default route and not update resolv.conf?
[01:41] <Pici> tbuss: How did you intially setup your wireless card?
[01:41] <tbuss> Pici installed linux-restricted-modules
[01:41] <tbuss> Pici after that everything worked fine
[01:42] <Pici> tbuss: Did your update include a new kernel?
[01:43] <tbuss> Pici i unchecked all the header-generic updates but im ubsure what else was loaded, there were about 50 updates
[01:43] <Lucciano> hello there, i just install xubuntu, but i can't compile anything with c, i create a basic hellowolrd example but it fails becouse it could find the stdio.h anyone any idea what is missing?
[01:43] <Toma-> Lucciano: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" should fix that
[01:43] <IdleOne> Lucciano, what Toma- said
[01:44] <Pici> tbuss: Why did you uncheck the header updates?
[01:44] <Lucciano> Thanks Toma, IdleOne, ill try
[01:44] <sebrock> any already-built-in function to minimize terminal to tray? not using alltray that is??
[01:45] <tbuss> Pici not sure, i dont know what im doing, a previous setup failed after I did the update and I thought it was the headers because that's what i was having problems with during ndiswrapper setup
[01:45] <tbuss> Pici i didnt use ndiswrapper this time, did not need to
[01:46] <tbuss> Pici is there a way to reverse the update process from last night?
[01:46] <xeternal> helloi
[01:46] <Pici> tbuss: I would reboot the computer and select the older kernel from the grub menu, then go through and apply all the updates, then reboot again and select the new kernel.  Hopefully that should resolve your issue.
[01:48] <xeternal> any one install acrobat reader 7.0 in x64 Ubuntu and run it sucessfully
[01:48] <tbuss> Pici is it okay to have two kernels
[01:48] <Pici> tbuss: Yes.
[01:49] <tbuss> Pici okay ill give it a shot, okay to check back with results?
[01:49] <Pici> tbuss: Sure
[01:49] <sebrock> should one update gnome or not?
[01:50] <crazy_bus> how well does window vista dual boot with ubuntu?
[01:50] <Frogzoo> sebrock: from the repos?
[01:50] <sebrock> Frogzoo,I mean 2.18 is out. Or should one simply wait for next ubuntu release
[01:51] <sebrock> is it easy to update?
[01:51] <Frogzoo> sebrock: best wait
[01:51] <sebrock> guess so
[01:52] <IdleOne> tbuss, I have 7 kernels at the momment heh
[01:52] <Slick> hey guys, I've just installed VMware through automatix, there's VMplayer here which asks me to open up an image, but does anyone know how you create an image?
[01:53] <Pici> 1) Automatic is not supported here
[01:53] <Pici> 2) You cant create images with vmware player
[01:54] <Slick> what do you need to create the image?
[01:54] <UB`> Slick I think you have installed the VMWare PLAYER
[01:54] <tbuss> Pici okay rebooted and selected original kernel, updates are loading kernel headers and kernel headers generic -10 and -11
[01:54] <UB`> you need the VMWare Workstation or Server
[01:54] <UB`> to create an image
[01:54] <Slick> cheers UB'
[01:55] <tbuss> Pici after reboot will i need to go into grub and select the new kernel or will it load by default?
[01:55] <Pici> tbuss: It will load by default
[01:55] <Slick> is the workstation the one I would use if I just want to install win2k on my linux setup
[01:55] <Heroin> how can i add a user without a shell, and with a homedir of /home/harm/site08 ?
[01:55] <Heroin> so just for FTPing
[01:56] <tbuss> Pici what happened during the update, and why do i have two kernels now
[01:56] <UB`> Slick it is that you need if you want create an image of that OS, yes
[01:56] <tom__> hi all
[01:56] <Pici> tbuss: Whenever you update the kernel, it doesnt get rid of the old one, it just gets a new one.
[01:56] <UB`> Heroin man adduser
[01:56] <Heroin> UB' ok.. :X
[01:56] <Slick> thanks UB`
[01:56] <tacamr2> Hello, how can i use .htacces files under ubuntu?
[01:56] <tacamr2> in apache2
[01:56] <UB`> welcome Slick
[01:57] <UB`> tacamr2 just pu it in a web directory
[01:57] <tbuss> Pici if i had selected the headers during the update then everything would have worked correct?
[01:57] <UB`> put*
[01:57] <tacamr2> how to configure /etc/apache2/apache2.conf?
[01:57] <UB`> tacamr2 I think apache2 is already setup to to handle .htaccess
[01:58] <tacamr2> i have made a .htacces file, looks to be good...
[01:58] <tacamr2> but the apache2 don't accept it...
[01:58] <Heroin> DB' it doesnt explain howto not add a shell
[01:58] <Heroin> i dont wanne give that account shell
[01:58] <Pici> tbuss: Possibly
[01:58] <tom__> I wonder if someone could help me, I want to change the default terminal emulator (the oen that gets run when you type x-terminal-emulator)
[01:58] <mafagafo> newbie need help... anyone (cant get my windows partition to be displayed under "computer" so I can access files saved on that filesystem)
[01:59] <tom__> I did it before but I can't remember how now...
[01:59] <UB`> tacamr2 try add something like "AllowOverride ALL" in a <directory> directive
[01:59] <kraypius> is there a way to extend the device manager to allow disabling and enabling devices?
[02:00] <Frogzoo> tom__: just bind it to a hotkey in configuration editor -> metacity - much easier by far

[02:01] <fruitbag`> Hey...
[02:01] <tacamr2> nothing....
[02:01] <fruitbag`> Does anyone here know any good Doom Linux ports?
[02:01] <tom__> Thanks Frogzoo but I've got all sorts of things which depend on it being set up properly plus I'm not using metacity. I know it's possible to do (there's a command to do it) but I don't remember how
[02:01] <Menasim1> I can't install packeges
[02:01] <tbuss> Pici in settings-->admin-->networking I have only wired and modem connection. is it okay to just boot into the kernel with the working wireless connection
[02:01] <Pici> tbuss: Are you sure that the only thing that you did was install the restricted modules to get your wireless to work?  If you did any sort of compiling you will need to redo those steps with the new kernel headers
[02:01] <IdleOne> Menasim1, what packages?
[02:02] <Menasim1> apt-get
[02:02] <Pici> tbuss: Yes, you can boot into the old kernel if you want to do that.
[02:02] <Menasim1> I think there is mising files
[02:02] <mo^> how can i copy text from vim to "outside"? in nano i just have to mark the text. i can paste it with the middle mouse button then. but in vim, that doesn't work..
[02:02] <IdleOne> Menasim1, yes you are using apt-get to install what package?
[02:02] <Menasim1> inkscape
[02:03] <IdleOne> Menasim1, have you enabled universe and multiverse?
[02:03] <tbuss> Pici yes that was all i did
[02:03] <fruitbag`> Any suggestions here?
[02:03] <fruitbag`> Modern Linux Doom ports...
[02:03] <fruitbag`> Can't I just use the old Doom ports?
[02:03] <shma> Hi!

[02:05] <UB`> tacamr2 read the Log directive in your conf

[02:06] <tacamr2> ok, found
[02:06] <tacamr2> no errors
[02:06] <fruitbag`> UB`, thanks.
[02:06] <UB`> welcome
[02:06] <fruitbag`> UB`, that's Doom 3.
[02:06] <fruitbag`> I wanted classic Doom
[02:06] <UB`> oh
[02:07] <UB`> sorry dont know try search it in google
[02:07] <okami> Are there any macbook (13" core2duo) owners in here?

[02:07] <Eldanen> Has anyone gotten the coretemp.ko module to work and report Core 2 Duo temp information with lm-sensors?
[02:07] <ohana> fruitbag... this is what you want http://www.doomsdayhq.com/
[02:07] <UB`> tacamr2 .htaccess with double "s"
[02:07] <ohana> best doom engine you'll ever want
[02:08] <fruitbag`> ohana, thanks.
[02:08] <ohana> runs beautifully on linux
[02:08] <ohana> np
[02:08] <fruitbag`> ohana, but I hope it isn't too resource intensive.
[02:08] <ohana> enjoy! :)
[02:08] <fruitbag`> I use a laptop ;p
[02:08] <ohana> hmm... shouldnt be fine. as long as you dont push it (shading/lighting/shadow effects/models/etc)
[02:08] <ohana> should*
[02:09] <okami> Are there any macbook (13" core2duo) owners in here?
[02:09] <Heroin> UB' i added -shell /bin/false however in /etc/shells i dont have that listed...
[02:09] <tacamr2> maybe not implemented...
[02:09] <sebrock> does anyone know why my sound never works when resuming after suspend mode?
[02:09] <ohana> you can always make it run oldschool 320x200 res :p
[02:09] <Godsey> I can't figure out how to have dhcpclient not take the default route
[02:09] <UB`> Heroin it's right /bin/false isnt a shell
[02:09] <UB`> and you dont want a shell for that user
[02:09] <Heroin> ah ok :)
[02:10] <fruitbag`> Heh...
[02:10] <fruitbag`> ohana, but that has been heavily modified.
[02:10] <fruitbag`> I want good 'ol classic Doom ;p
[02:10] <tacamr2> .htaccess
[02:11] <tacamr2> Itt works :)
[02:11] <tacamr2> It works:)
[02:11] <Heroin> UB' however i cant seem to be able to login via FTP w. the new user.. is it because it has no shell?
[02:11] <ohana> fruitbag, true, its a doom port. it still uses the same doom data files, but since doom source was released they've simply added a few things
[02:11] <tacamr2> It was a silly mistake...
[02:11] <tacamr2> Thanks!!!
[02:11] <ohana> dont worry, you can use this engine to make it run just like the originals
[02:11] <UB`> tacamr2 shit happens :)
[02:11] <ohana> but i have to say, its the best ever port
[02:12] <UB`> Heroin what kind of ftp daemon you use?
[02:12] <ohana> whether for using uber lighting/shadow effects, or old school, it just goes
[02:12] <fruitbag`> ohana, yes, but I want plain old doom.
[02:12] <fruitbag`> ;p
[02:12] <UB`> have you setup it?
[02:12] <Heroin> UB' VSFTPD and it should just autoupdate for new users and stuff
[02:13] <ohana> it is plain old doom. you just have other options. i really dont know of any other ports that just "port" the game. since source was released, every port out there has modified the engine in some way or another
[02:14] <UB`> Heroin did you read the vsftpd.conf?
[02:14] <UB`> you have to uncomment some option I think
[02:14] <UB`> like "local_enable=YES"
[02:14] <UB`> but please read the doc/faq before
[02:14] <Heroin> UB' here > http://pastebin.ca/397318
[02:15] <Heroin> UB' i have that set
[02:15] <UB`> apache?
[02:15] <Heroin> local_enable=YES
[02:15] <Heroin> scroll down
[02:15] <Heroin> its all my main configs :)
[02:15] <UB`> I think you are done
[02:15] <fruitbag`> ohana, that stinks ;\
[02:15] <ohana> fruitbag, the screenshots show you what doom looks like with all the effects turned on. like i said, you can run doom just like the originals with its low res, lack of 3d models and lighting/shadows. thats about as much help as i can think of. hope it helps
[02:15] <UB`> search for error log
[02:15] <fruitbag`> ohana, can't I just run the old ports?
[02:16] <Heroin> UB' i think Vsftpd requires a restricted shell..
[02:16] <UB`> try to restart vsftpd daemon
[02:16] <Heroin> i did
[02:16] <joshjosh> hmm...doom huh?
[02:16] <UB`> HerculeP  may be I dont remember
[02:16] <joshjosh> i can run it on my ipod, but haven't tried in ubuntu
[02:16] <Heroin> UB' any suggestions on howto create a restricted shell
[02:16] <ohana> fruitbag` to be honest, i dont know of any other ports that just "port" the game.
[02:16] <UB`> but the Faq and google is your friend :)
[02:16] <fruitbag`> ohana, very well.
[02:16] <fruitbag`> ohana, I am aware of such ports, but they are too old.
[02:16] <joshjosh> if you can run dosbox in wine...then maybe you can run doom that way
[02:16] <fruitbag`> I'm not sure if they would work or not.
[02:17] <fruitbag`> joshjosh, that pretty much defeats the purpose of running Doom on Linux ;\
[02:17] <joshjosh> fruitbag`, eh, whatever works.
[02:17] <ohana> fruitbag`, thats why i recommend this one. its constantly being updated and supported
[02:17] <fruitbag`> joshjosh, if I wanted to do that, then I'd just switch to Windows or MS-DOS.
[02:18] <CoRnJuLiOx> how would one burn an ISO to a CD?
[02:18] <CoRnJuLiOx> on linux, that is
[02:18] <ohana> fruitbag`, and you can run doom just like the original, low res and all
[02:18] <fruitbag`> Very well.
[02:18] <ohana> its identical
[02:18] <joshjosh> fruitbag`, if you switch to straight DOS to play Doom, I salute you. That's hardcore haha
[02:18] <ohana> fruitbag`, i only recommend doomsday because imho, its the best there is

[02:29] <dhq> Daverocks: isnt there a gui for it how will i know the errors and all
[02:30] <finalbeta> Anyone can confirm a little bug for me? do ln -s bla bla inside a folder. Then open the folder with nautilus. It should crash.
[02:30] <Daverocks> dhq: no gui, all errors are reported on the command line, it's fairly informative
[02:30] <dhq> Daverocks: so i have to write it in console only
[02:30] <Daverocks> dhq: yes, but there are IDE frontends
[02:30] <dlehman> i need some help w/ Beryl
[02:30] <dlehman> i followed the HowTo wiki for XGL and ATI and when i execute the beryl-manager it says, "Failed to execut child process "beryl-manager" (No such file or directory)
[02:31] <dhq> Daverocks: like
[02:31] <Comrade_Sergei> how do you enable the restricted repos in dapper?
[02:32] <bulmer> finalbeta your theory does not confirm
[02:32] <Daverocks> dhq: um, kate for kde, anjuta for gnome
[02:32] <Daverocks> dhq: kate isn't really an IDE though
[02:32] <finalbeta> bulmer: really? What GNOME version are you running?
[02:32] <bulmer> finalbeta i dont know, whats the quick way to check?

[02:33] <finalbeta> bulmer: in nautilus, go to help - about
[02:33] <Daverocks> Comrade_Sergei: i think there are checkboxes in some place in synaptic
[02:33] <dhq> Daverocks: will just give it a try will write a simple program
[02:33] <Daverocks> dhq: kk
[02:33] <Comrade_Sergei> Dave rocks welll de4r
[02:33] <dyrne> morpheus74: if you ping google.com is the response constant or do you drop alot?
[02:33] <bulmer> finalbeta thats not gnome version check eh?
[02:33] <Daverocks> Comrade_Sergei: lol, forgive me, i haven't used ubuntu recently
[02:33] <Daverocks> Comrade_Sergei: lemme vnc in and find it
[02:33] <finalbeta> bulmer: it's about the same.
[02:34] <morpheus74> dyrne, I can do this by going to the command line and typing ping google.com ?
[02:34] <bulmer> finalbeta i dont know, but my nautilus is 2.14.3
[02:34] <angor> can someone provide me with a rep with gnome 2.18 on it?

[02:36] <Comrade_Sergei> Daverocks check everytining?
[02:36] <Daverocks> morpheus74: you can specify a certain number of pings on the command line, but by default it keeps pinging
[02:36] <angor> could someone tell me wether gnome 2.18 is out there in any "edgy" repo or not?
[02:37] <morpheus74> bulmer, I went to the ci and typed 'ping www.google.com'
[02:37] <Daverocks> Comrade_Sergei: um

[02:38] <Daverocks> mmarc: you need to unset everything else before it'll let you set a ssid
[02:38] <bulmer> anyway to check or inter-act with a remote LPD ? to see its queues, manage it and kill jobs?
[02:38] <Daverocks> mmarc: like iwconfig ethX key off
[02:39] <morpheus74> Here is the results of my ping: 5 packets transmitted, 3 received, 40% packet loss, time 8381ms.

[02:39] <soundray> angor: probably not.  Edgy is pretty much designed around 2.16

[02:40] <dimebar> dlehman: if you look in synaptic is beryl-manager actually installed?

[02:41] <dhq> Daverocks:  error: conio.h: No such file or directory
[02:41] <joshjosh> Comrade_Sergei, sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade i do believe
[02:41] <morpheus74> bulmer, So does that tell me anything?  Could it be my settings?  Or is it possible the dsl modem, or could it be my wifi card (which works fine at home - I'm only now experiencing issues at my current location)
[02:41] <bulmer> what tools one may use to detect broadcast storms on a subnet? not sure what type of packets is causing it, ipx/spx, netbios,arp, dont know..
[02:41] <Daverocks> dhq: yeah, it isn't a standard library, it's not included in gcc
[02:41] <Answer> Hi.  I've got a laptop hooked up to an external monitor, but I am having trouble exporting the display resolution.  When I hit Function+F8 it doesn't switch displays, it stays in the laptop mode.  Under System->Preferences->Screen Resolution there are no other options
[02:42] <dhq> Daverocks: so where do i get the librarie
[02:42] <dlehman> dimebar, synaptic shows - beryl-plugins-data, Installed Version - 0.2.0~0beryl1. Latest Version - 0.2.0~0beryl1, Description - Plugins Data - -Beryl Project
[02:42] <cosmodad> how do I add the commercial repository? Cannot find the URL...
[02:42] <Daverocks> Answer: it usually doesn't "just work" with X. try switching to a tty, and press function F8
[02:42] <bulmer> morpheus74: am like looking at a crystal ball here, you have an interesting life ahead of you...(you need to tell me what you have and how it is connected okay?)
[02:43] <soundray> !multiverse > cosmodad, please read the private message from ubotu
[02:43] <Daverocks> Answer: like, ctrl-alt-F1
[02:43] <Daverocks> Answer: (ctrl-alt-F7 will switch back to X)
[02:43] <soundray> Daverocks: you haven't read the question carefully
[02:44] <soundray> Answer: what graphics chipset do you have?
[02:44] <Godsey> bulmer: I think he's pinging something just past our moon :P
[02:44] <mmarc> Daverocks: doenst work... i set everthing off, tried iwconfig wlan0 essid lala and its still OFF/any
[02:44] <Answer> Daverocks: it exports the display to the external monitor, but it stays on the laptop monitor and in laptop resolution.  It does the same in tty (ctrl+alt+f1)
[02:44] <cosmodad> soundray: thx
[02:44] <Daverocks> soundray: no really, i had the same laptop problem. it wouldn't show on the external display with X running, but it would work under a tty
[02:44] <CroX> I need some help setting up a connection to a WPA network. Anyone care to help me out?
[02:44] <mmarc> no log output, nothig... i dont get it
[02:44] <morpheus74> bulmer, I just ran ping again; this time it only dropped 20%.  I'm running Ubuntuy 6.10 on HP Pavilion lap top with a Linksys wifi card.
[02:44] <bulmer> lolz
[02:45] <dhq> Daverocks: how do i get the libraries
[02:45] <Daverocks> mmarc: situations like this are tough
[02:45] <Answer> soundray, Daverocks: my video card is a ATI Radeon R250 lf FireGL 9000
[02:45] <bulmer> morpheus74: is your laptop only connected to internet via the wifi or another via a ethernet too?
[02:45] <Daverocks> mmarc: i assume it has no encryption and stuff
[02:45] <soundray> Daverocks: well, that's expected behaviour, isn't it?
[02:45] <Daverocks> dhq: download conio.h from somewhere? :P
[02:45] <soundray> Answer, ubotu has something...
[02:45] <morpheus74> bulmer, only via wifi
[02:46] <soundray> ubotu, tell Answer about dualhead
[02:46] <Daverocks> soundray: i guess... now :P
[02:46] <mmarc> it works fine on my debian box... no encryption, nothig... i turned everthing off for testing
[02:46] <dimebar> dlehman: im not on a ubuntu machine right now so I can't check but I'm sure theres a package called 'beryl-manager' that you need to install
[02:46] <dhq> Daverocks: and where to place it
[02:46] <bulmer> morpheus74: who ows the AP your wifi card connects to? and how is it connected to the internet?
[02:46] <Daverocks> dhq: /usr/include
[02:46] <mmarc> i just cant set any essid, no matter what i try
[02:46] <morpheus74> bulmer, Sorry, I'm a bit of a newbie.  What is AP?
[02:46] <joincamp> can anyone help me with ssh configuration issues?
[02:46] <Daverocks> morpheus74: access point
[02:47] <morpheus74> Ah
[02:47] <Answer> CroX: there is a pretty good WPA howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[02:47] <morpheus74> Daverocks, Thanks.
[02:47] <Daverocks> mmarc: ummm
[02:47] <Daverocks> mmarc: i assume your debian box had a different wlan card?
[02:47] <soundray> ubotu, tell joincamp about anyone
[02:47] <bulmer> morpheus74: who ows the AP your wifi card connects to? and how is it connected to the internet?
[02:47] <morpheus74> bulmer, The ap is owned my my parents (I'm visiting at their home).  Their AP is connected via DSL
[02:47] <bulmer> owns*
[02:47] <mmarc> yeah, but i also tried the usb stick 15 minutes ago ;)
[02:48] <CroX> Answer: Tried it but it still wont work for me
[02:48] <morpheus74> bulmer, They have a wireless modem.
[02:48] <dlehman> dimebar: ok, ill try and do some more resarrch
[02:48] <bulmer> morpheus74: okay, so maybe the sun spots or moon spots is affecting your signals, so some of your packets are dropping, would that be too much of a concern?
[02:49] <morpheus74> bulmer, Sun spots?  I assume that is a joke, right?
[02:49] <bulmer> morpheus74: i say that because if you only do chatting  on irc, it does not make that much of a difference
[02:49] <Comrade_Sergei> i did the enable repos but its not finding the upgrade to edgy?
[02:49] <Answer> CroX:  go to the bottom of the page where it talks about /etc/init.d/wpa_launch.sh.  make yourself a little shell script with those options and check the debug output
[02:50] <bulmer> morpheus74: sort of a joke, but really sunspots causes problems with microwaves, satellite comms, etc..
[02:50] <soundray> ubotu, tell Comrade_Sergei about upgrade
[02:50] <joincamp> from what i can figure out, there has got to be some reason the sshd is refusing outside connections.  it works on the lan.  I am fairly sure the port is forwarded and set correctly.  canyouseeme.org saids connection refused.  i just need some help with this
[02:50] <joincamp> is there a sshd_config thing i am missing?
[02:50] <Toma-> joincamp: sounds like SSH isnt binded to the right IP.
[02:50] <Answer> joincamp: yeah port 22 is most likely b locked
[02:51] <joincamp> i set it to several different ports though
[02:51] <joincamp> 6666, 8888, 37890
[02:51] <Toma-> joincamp: you need to change the server ip
[02:51] <bulmer> joincamp: do you have a firewall in front of this sshd? or the server acting as sshd has a firewall?
[02:51] <arrow> I'm going to buy a DVD burner, does anyone have any recomendations
[02:51] <Comrade_Sergei> soundray its (!upgrade | Comrade-Sergei
[02:51] <Comrade_Sergei> !upgrade | Comrade-Sergei
[02:51] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:51] <joincamp> no firewall
[02:51] <soundray> Comrade_Sergei: no, you need to read your private messages.
[02:51] <Comrade_Sergei> yea
[02:52] <morpheus74> bulmer, The real issue is I'm trying to convert my parents from XP to Ubuntu, and their 2nd computer (the one I"m installing Ubuntu on) only has a wifi card.  The connection seems to be spotty running Ubuntu, but works better(not perfect) on XP.  I want them to have an enjoyable experience with Ubuntu so they'll appreciate it.
[02:52] <joincamp> Toma-: can you tell me a bit more about what that means
[02:52] <scv> arrow: who buys a dvd-bruner now? hd-dvd/bd is the future!!!
[02:52] <Toma-> joincamp: you need to change the ip in ssh.conf to your router
[02:52] <joincamp> thank you
[02:52] <Toma-> no probz
[02:52] <bstock> ok, ntp-server should be easier then this... does anyone know where the config file is for ntp-server?
[02:53] <joincamp> Toma-: ssh.conf or sshd_config?
[02:53] <arrow> scv: I don't even have a cd drive right now, and I don't have 700 bucks to drop on "The Future"
[02:53] <bulmer> morpheus74: if you are giving someone an impression, get it connected via hardwire ie  ethernet, you liably can cause fear to the untrained..better to demo a rock solid connection eh?
[02:53] <eilker> reconfiguring Xserver, what is the difference between Im/PS2 and Explorer/PS2 ?
[02:53] <scv> arrow: oh, poor guy
[02:53] <Toma-> joincamp: sshd_config
[02:53] <arrow> scv: ;(
[02:53] <dhq> Daverocks: program1.cpp:4: error: ::main must return int
[02:54] <morpheus74> bulmer, One thing I should add: they have an older 4 level home with the DSL modem in the basement, and the computer with the wifi card in the upper level.  I'm trying to discern if the issue is the hardware, or possible the software.
[02:54] <bulmer> morpheus74: thats speaking from experience of me, trying to impress some folks, and I in turned embarrassed myself using stuff not reliable
[02:54] <Toma-> joincamp: its the ListenAddress <IP> option
[02:54] <arrow> lol, I wish
[02:54] <gesus> `divx
[02:54] <User2323> hello, can anyone help me figure out how to watch a stream?
[02:54] <Daverocks> dhq: umm... i assume _your_ main function is  int main () ? maybe it's one of the main functions in the library
[02:54] <morpheus74> bulmer, Good point!
[02:54] <arrow> I was hoping to see a computer on the side of the road and salvage the burner
[02:54] <Huffalump> User2323, are you near a lake?
[02:54] <Daverocks> User2323: mplayer?
[02:55] <soundray> morpheus74: have you considered that the WLAN signal may be too weak?
[02:55] <joincamp> Toma-: thanks
[02:55] <Toma-> np
[02:55] <scv> arrow: do you want it to eat livecds?
[02:55] <soundray> Huffalump: always the comedian, eh?
[02:55] <User2323> I tried both mplayer and vlc but I get errors trying to watch this stream: rtsp://<IP_ADDRESS>/eektpub_c0014
[02:55] <Huffalump> soundray, aye aye capn'n
[02:55] <morpheus74> soundray, I have.  Do you know how I can check the signal strength under ubuntu 6.10?
[02:55] <dhq> Daverocks: its so irritation
[02:55] <arrow> scv: I'd rather put them into a cd drive that's hooked into my computer
[02:55] <Answer> morpheus74: iwconfig
[02:55] <soundray> morpheus74: iwlist wlan0 scan
[02:55] <bulmer> arrow: be quick before someone beats you to it..lolz
[02:56] <morpheus74> Ah... I was trying ifconfig!
[02:56] <soundray> morpheus74: substitute the real interface name
[02:56] <Sharcho> Is there some way to do global font substitution, e.g. everytime "Courier New" appears, use "Consolas" instead?
[02:56] <scv> arrow: the dvd-bruner is not so useful for me, I have cardreaders and big hdds already
[02:56] <soundray> Sharcho: which application?
[02:56] <joshjosh> Anyone know the terminal command for detecting USB devices? They will detect when plugged in while booting up, but not afterwards.
[02:56] <thorre> i need to run ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS on a server with a " Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet" NIC
[02:56] <Sharcho> soundray: for all of them
[02:57] <Stylee-FilipBole> hello... I have dual boot (ubuntu and win xp), is a way to eliminate the win partition without reinstal ubuntu?
[02:57] <thorre> that nic is supported in the latest beta of ubuntu
[02:57] <Huffalump> User2323, it looks like the server is down.
[02:57] <thorre> but not in 6.06.1
[02:57] <soundray> Sharcho: you mean at the X server level?
[02:57] <jrib> User2323: are you sure it is not a server-side problem?
[02:57] <Sharcho> soundray: yes
[02:57] <thorre> is there any way to get a  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet NIC to work in 6.06.1?
[02:58] <soundray> Sharcho: you could replace the Courier font files with softlinks to Consolas. I'm not sure if that would have any side effects, though
[02:58] <User2323> I wasn't really sure, but if both of you can't access it then I guess you're right, the server must be down
[02:58] <User2323> thanks for your help
[02:58] <scv> thorre: is a gigabit nic good for the network backup?
[02:59] <morpheus74> Thanks for the help.  I ran the scan on the signal strength: Signal level:-48 dBm  Noise level:-256 dBm.  I'm not sure what these #'s mean.
[02:59] <nugenoa> If I don't have internet access on my ubuntu box, how do I install xorg-driver-fglrx ?
[02:59] <nugenoa> xorg-driver-fglrx_6.8.0-8.8.25-0ubuntu11.1_amd64.deb
[02:59] <Huffalump> nugenoa, download the deb package and sneakernet it
[02:59] <dyrne> nugenoa: packages.ubuntu.com from any computer
[03:00] <Stylee-FilipBole> can I eliminate the win partition, without reinstaling ubuntu?
[03:00] <nugenoa> Huffalump, dyrne, Thanks!
[03:00] <mmarc> hmm i dont get it... no way to set this damn essid... iwlist shows up my networks, but no way to set it, no error msgs, nothing :/ allways off/any
[03:00] <Huffalump> Stylee-FilipBole, have you tried gparted?  It should be able to reclaim the partition without a reinstall
[03:01] <jmazaredo> how many ubuntu variants are there? ubuntu.edubuntu,kubuntu,ubuntu-ce, is there something i miss?
[03:01] <Stylee-FilipBole> Huffalump: thanke you... I will check out
[03:01] <Sharcho> soundray: that wouldn't work. TTF fonts have the font name embedded in the file.
[03:02] <viviersf> jmazaredo, impilinux
[03:02] <Bauldrick> I get a black screen and audio when trying to play dvd in any media player and ive installed codecs etc?
[03:02] <morpheus74> Sorry, I had to step away for a moment.  Was someone able to determine what there readings mean: Signal level:-48 dBm  Noise level:-256 dBm  (Excellent, Fair, poor)?
[03:02] <soundray> Sharcho: I see. I don't know the answer then, I thought you were trying to substitute font formats within a document.
[03:03] <joenavelh> hello
[03:03] <joenavelh> hello am new
[03:04] <bstock> anyone know how to make ntp-server listen on external interaces, i can't find a ntpd.conf file
[03:04] <narinux> exist frontend for connection pppoe
[03:04] <ralph_> i need to update to edgy but i get errors when i do about how it cant fech something...
[03:04] <soundray> morpheus74: try 'iwlist wlan0 ap', it gives you a quality rating
[03:04] <bulmer> morpheus74: actually that depends on how sensitive your receivers are.. :)
[03:05] <joenavelh> hello
[03:05] <IdleOne> hello joenavelh
[03:05] <Gast198> Hallo
[03:05] <joenavelh> yeah
[03:05] <Gast198> Ich htte eine frage zu unbuntu !
[03:05] <joenavelh> how are you
[03:05] <Gast198> Hey
[03:05] <CroX> Answer: The WPA still wont work. :(
[03:05] <soundray> Gast198: frag in #ubuntu-de bitte
[03:05] <CroX> Answer: And the reference you gave me was for 6.06, I'm on 6.10
[03:05] <Gast198> fine .. ok english then
[03:05] <Bauldrick> HI - can anyone suggest a fix for my black screen dvd prob?
[03:05] <bulmer> morpheus74: but with -48dBm and -256dBm noise floor, heck thats like over flooding any recivers..200 dBm difference...way too much me thinks..but then again sensors gives false readings
[03:06] <joenavelh> hi idleone
[03:06] <joenavelh> how are u
[03:06] <joenavelh> am new
[03:06] <IdleOne> joenavelh, fine thank you. please keep chatter to support question/answers for ubuntu if you would like to just chat in general go to #ubuntu-offtopic type /join #ubuntu-offtopic to go there
[03:06] <soundray> Gast198: in #ubuntu-de kannst du auf deutsch fragen
[03:06] <ralph_> u need to upgrade to edgy but i think my repos may be wrong how do i fix them?
[03:07] <IdleOne> !upgrade | ralph_
[03:07] <ubotu> ralph_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:07] <morpheus74> Here is what I got when I did iwlist wlan0 ap: wlan0     Interface doesn't have a list of Peers/Access-Points
[03:07] <joenavelh> ko
[03:07] <joenavelh> ok
[03:07] <ralph_> IdleOne yes but i think i have something wrong in my repositorys
[03:07] <Huffalump> Bauldrick, it sounds like you don't have the right codecs installed.
[03:07] <Gast198> I have a problem with MAC ID on unbunt : Cisco router normaly repots MACS following 0100.11d8.xxxx.b8 BUT Unbunt machine MAC ID is reported : 0011.xxxx.9eb8 , so there is 00 missing in the beginning .. abybody has a clue why ?
[03:07] <nightwatch> hi there, I cannot find what repository has the package smbldap-tools and libnss-ldap for dapper, I tried google but all I can find is that is in universe, I tried to enable archives and security repos with universe and multiverse but the package cannot be found.
[03:07] <Bauldrick> i got libdvdcss and w32codecs
[03:07] <soundray> morpheus74: since by the sounds of it, you're almost vertically above the AP, I'd try fiddling with the antennas.
[03:08] <Huffalump> Bauldrick, I realize you said you did install them, but it must be the case that something is missing.
[03:08] <IdleOne> ralph_, the Upgrade manager will adjust the repos so it can get the packages it needs to upgrade. follow the link and do as it sayd
[03:08] <Huffalump> Bauldrick, did you use Automatix or manually?
[03:08] <dimeotane> is there such a thing as an adaptor to convert laptop hard drives to connect to regular IDE cables?
[03:08] <Pici> nightwatch: What version are you running?
[03:08] <nandasunu> I've got ubuntu on an old computer and it won't connect to the internet. is there anything I need to do to configure the ethernet port?
[03:08] <Bauldrick> i did it manually first - it worked until i rebooted
[03:08] <Bauldrick> then tried automatix2
[03:08] <morpheus74> soundray, So in your opinion, the issue is not software related (i.e. configuration settings within Ubuntu)?
[03:08] <nightwatch> [Pici] : dapper drake 6.04.1
[03:08] <soylent> dimeotane~> yes
[03:08] <nugenoa> dimeotane, yes.
[03:08] <dimeotane> yay!
[03:09] <dimeotane> thx
[03:09] <Huffalump> Bauldrick, check out the list on this page.  You'll need these - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[03:09] <Gast198> Help to the previous mentioned problem would be very appreciated ! :)
[03:09] <soundray> morpheus74: well, the driver you're using does seem to be less optimized if the XP one works better. But since reorientating your antennas is so easy, that's the first thing I would try.
[03:09] <Bauldrick> yep - thats what i followed the first time
[03:09] <Heroin> would it matter if changed the ssh port from 22 to 68? or some other port?
[03:09] <Pici> nightwatch: packages.ubuntu.com says both packages are in Universe.
[03:10] <Huffalump> Bauldrick - care to give it another go?  Automatix may have changed something.
[03:10] <rancor> heroin thats probably not going to work
[03:10] <Pici> !automatix
[03:10] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:10] <bipolar> Heroin: not really. you would just have to specify the connection port every time you ssh'ed to that box
[03:10] <rancor> if your port 22 was blocked and you had a remote machiene
[03:10] <rancor> you could tunnel port 68 to 22
[03:10] <Bauldrick> will do - but if i open the file (videots) i see the vob's have pictures?
[03:10] <morpheus74> soundray, Thanks!
[03:10] <Huffalump> Bauldrick - that sounds about right.
[03:11] <Heroin> rancor well i wanne chance the port so i dont get scanned and bruteforced twice a day
[03:11] <Gast198> :-) ?
[03:11] <semion> hello
[03:11] <Bauldrick> So - i would need to uninstall all codecs and then reinstall? do i purge them?
[03:11] <nugenoa> Huffalump, What does this snakernet exactly mean?
[03:11] <rancor> you're getting scanned and bruteforced from an SSH connection?
[03:11] <Huffalump> nugenoa - it means to put the file on a disk/CD and walk it over (in your sneakers)
[03:11] <rancor> users within the ssh connection?
[03:11] <soundray> Heroin: change it to something > 1024
[03:12] <nightwatch> [Pici] : I read it, then I wrote this in my sources.list: deb http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe and deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted universe; what`s am I doing wrong? ( I apt-get update, by the way)
[03:12] <bipolar> Heroin: might be more fun to use iptables to automaticly block ssh when too many connection attempts happen
[03:12] <master03> xit
[03:12] <nugenoa> Huffalump, Ok.
[03:13] <derelm> i wonder if it is possible to "upgrade"/"crossgrade" from debian sarge to the current ubuntu?
[03:13] <scv> bipolar: and it's a good way to ddos you by this?
[03:13] <bipolar> scv: not if you have ssh listing on both 22 and your other spare port.
[03:13] <Pici> derelm: People have done it, but its probably risky
[03:14] <ralph_> IdleOne i get this error Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[03:14] <ralph_> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[03:14] <bipolar> scv: besides, it would only block the ip of the one trying to connect to many times
[03:14] <soundray> bipolar: is that what -m connlimit is for?
[03:14] <bipolar> soundray: I think so. I'd have to check the howto again
[03:14] <bipolar> actulay, I'd have to google for the howto since I don't have it bookmarked :p
[03:14] <scv> bipolar: it's still a brain-dead script for me
[03:15] <derelm> Pici: so it's not a common route. then i'll better do the switch when i actually have to resetup my machine anyways
[03:15] <bipolar> scv: then don't use it
[03:15] <Pici> derelm: Much better idea.
[03:15] <derelm> Pici: thanks
[03:15] <winggndm> any one testing out gnome 2.18?

[03:16] <LucidFox> scv> today
[03:16] <derelm> reborn: you will have to be more specific about your problems to get meaningful help

[03:17] <Huffalump> tian, I'd recommend using linux
 Jajaja</sacrcasm>
[03:18] <reborn> derelm: its like this i can open google, but not yahoo, i can open microsoft but not appe, and the when i try to run the upgrade manager it downloads some upgrades but not others...
[03:18] <Huffalump> kraypius, you might gain some system familiarity.  that's all I can think of.
[03:18] <arrow> does anyone know of a site with a list of products that are linux compatible?
[03:18] <tian> i mean server edition or pure debian or fedora core
[03:18] <Pici> reborn: Have you tried disabling ipv6?

[03:19] <derelm> reborn: which version of ubuntu did you install?
[03:19] <Pici> !hardware > arrow
[03:19] <nightwatch> [Pici] : then is enough to add "universe" to deb url in source list to archives and security???
[03:19] <Huffalump> tian, in #ubuntu you are likely to find most people recommend... wait for it... Ubuntu
[03:19] <reborn> Pici: i dont know whattha is...
[03:19] <scv> LucidFox: did RMS refer his successor today?
[03:19] <reborn> derelm:  the lates...

[03:20] <LucidFox> scv> successor?
[03:20] <tian> gotta go
[03:20] <scv> umm
[03:20] <Huffalump> tian, if you want a variety of opinions, it might be wiser to search on Google or try something general like #linux
[03:20] <reborn> derelm:  edgy
[03:20] <Pici> fisheye: It creates a link (kinda like a shortcut)
[03:20] <mfd> Hmm.. How would one go about making an Ubuntu based distro?
[03:20] <dimeotane> does anyone know of something fast like DD for copying lots of files (cp is to slow)... but which doesn't bother to also copy the empty space on the drive.
[03:20] <arrow> thx
[03:20] <bulmer> fisheye: what do you mean you cant get java to work? can you elaborate?
[03:20] <fisheye> who do i erase that link?
[03:20] <reborn> !ipv6
[03:20] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[03:20] <fisheye> processing doesnt draw anything java based, bun opengl based seems good
[03:21] <fisheye> should i erase that link i made?
