[00:00] <m0sh3> nice, thanks
[00:00] <Odd-rationale> m0sh3: you might want to try some console irc clients like irssi or weechat.
[00:00] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, how do I run the applet? I tried to add to the gnome panel, but the only extra applet I saw there was a FreqScaling monitor, it does not measure the temperature
[00:00] <Kevin___> Does anyone have any ideas on my issue? I have a lot of important stuff on there and I'm really not sure what to do.
[00:01] <nightrid3r> Kevin___: can you ssh into the box?
[00:01] <CarolinaSwamp> can you echo an end of line character ? ie echo "line 1 \n line2 \n" > file
[00:01] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: you need to install it with synaptic, then add "CPUFreq monitor" in the applets menu
[00:01] <Kevin___> Nightrid3r: I have a web admin interface installed and can access a terminal prompt from there.
[00:02] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, yup that's exactly what I did, but it't not measuring temperature at all, only cpu frequency
[00:02] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: does it have temp enables in the preferences?
[00:02] <lrdApex> Trying to install the 64bit flash player in firefox.  i downloaded the .so file and copied it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ doesnt seem to work.
[00:02] <ZeroA4> como monto um dispositivo raid pra manutenção ?
[00:02] <nightrid3r> Kevin___: worst case scenario, you can backup your stuff trough webmin
[00:03] <ZeroA4> sorry!
[00:03] <roni> does anyone know a cli method that will tell me my external ip address, not the one my router gives me with ifconfig?
[00:03] <oholiab> yme: that's sweet man, well done :D
[00:03] <bobbyd> Kevin___: can you just do ctrl-alt-f1 and get a terminal?
[00:03] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, there is no option for preferences... left click gives be a list of presets for cpu frequency, right click just gist the standard gnome panel options (ie. move, remove etc.), but no preferences
[00:03] <bobbyd> Kevin___: remember ctrl-alt-f7 to get back here :)
[00:03] <lrdApex> roni: probably do some cool wget whatsmyip.org and fish it out of there :)
[00:04] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: weird, I've got preferences :)
[00:04] <Kevin___> bobbyd: I have the machine at work so I'll have to check tomorrow. See, the error keeps popping up when I hit OK so I'm not sure if it'll let me do a ctrl-alt-f1
[00:04] <roni> lrdApex: thanks ill mess with that
[00:04] <Kevin___> bobbyd: Can I just run the commands from webmin?
[00:04] <lrdApex> roni: or if you like ruby they have some nice ways of crawling web pages
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin
[00:05] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, you have the same version of ubuntu ? 8.04
[00:05] <bobbyd> Kevin___: the other thing to do is log in as root (use the recovery option at the GRUB prompt), you then have full access to the machine and could create another user account, or transfer the data
[00:05] <nightrid3r> !ebox
[00:05] <ZeroA4> how can i mount an soft raid md device on a liveCD for rescue some files?
[00:05] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: 8.10 here, but this has worked for a long time for me
[00:05] <lrdApex> anyone installed adobe flash 64bit plugin for firefox?
[00:06] <bobbyd> Kevin___: I don't know, sorry
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash64
[00:06] <pio_> lrdApex, activate medibunturepo and ues it to install flash
[00:06] <pio_> medibuntu repository*
[00:06] <Kevin___> bobbyd: Sorry, I'm not totally sure what or where the GRUB prompt is...
[00:06] <bobbyd> Kevin___: it's the text you get on boot when the machine starts up
[00:07] <bobbyd> but as someone said, you could also just ssh to it from Linux, or Windows using something like Putty
[00:07] <Kevin___> bobbyd: Ok. I'll try it out. Thanks guys.
[00:07] <lrdApex> pio_: rather not add the extra repo and do this manually, any suggestions?
[00:11] <nightrid3r> can i get my screen higher than 800x600 on a vesa card (my laptop card is not supported otherwise)? sis 771/671 card
[00:11] <yme> oholiab, thank you for your help
[00:11] <yme> Bye
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> nightrid3r, 1024x768 will work for vesa
[00:12] <yuri_> how do i send mail from the command line? something like $ sendmail emailaddress subject body ?
[00:12] <marabout_> Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu (hardy) normally uses the IPv4  protocol or is that an anomaly on my system?
[00:12] <m0sh3> Hello ppl
[00:12] <m0sh3> back on ubuntu :)
[00:13] <m0sh3> and pidgin
[00:13] <nightrid3r> Jack_Sparrow: i know but i can only set 800x600 trough the gui util and have no idea how to setup Xorg.conf
[00:13] <m0sh3> can you have a fusion of ubuntu and kubuntu at the same time?
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[00:13] <zc00gii> m0sh3: yeah, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[00:13] <nightrid3r> m0sh3: yes you can
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> switch between yes
[00:14] <ruffles_> gi
[00:14] <m0sh3> oh ok nice :)
[00:14] <ruffles_> hi
[00:14] <m0sh3> i'll still have all my files right?
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[00:14] <zc00gii> Jack_Sparrow: via the kubuntu-dekstop you can
[00:14] <m0sh3> ok thanks
[00:14] <yuri_> exit
[00:14] <zc00gii> m0sh3: yes, just uses a different window manager
[00:14] <ruffles_> how do i connect to another channel?
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> zc00gii, fusion of both no, select between kubuntu and ubuntu under options when you login ,. yes
[00:14] <remix_> can anyone help me,in setting up my wireless network.Icant figure it out
[00:15] <zc00gii> m0sh3: there's fluxbox, xubuntu-desktop, and many more, I suggest getting ccsm too
[00:15] <m0sh3> what is fluxbox?
[00:15] <zc00gii> Jack_Sparrow: essentially, yeah sort of, you have eachothers programs
[00:15] <ruffles_> zc00gii: they are called KDE FLUXBOX ang GNOME
[00:16] <kitche> zc00gii: it's the same operating system just a different desktop environment
[00:16] <zc00gii> m0sh3: a down to earth, simple, windows manger, think of it as the Windows Classic style of Linux
[00:16] <m0sh3> nice
[00:16] <zc00gii> kitche: I do kow that, even kubuntu itself is, and ruffles_, I was saying the packages (I hate posting too many lines)
[00:16] <m0sh3> that would be a good idea, since i wanna change from windows to linux
[00:17] <xiphos> Hello
[00:17] <zc00gii> KDE is alot like Windows(Kubuntu window manager)
[00:17] <m0sh3> i don't like the idea to be paying for software right now that i'm in my college years
[00:17] <m0sh3> yeah i have tried that one
[00:17] <m0sh3> but personally prefer Gnome
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> http://xwinman.org/          for info on wm's
[00:17] <m0sh3> gives me a different taste than windows
[00:17] <ruffles_> there are pople who think microsoft copied KDE for windows acutally
[00:17] <xiphos> I like windowmaker, myself
[00:18] <zc00gii> KDE4 is like Win7, and KDE3 is like vista and older ones
[00:18] <remix_> does anyone know how to setup a wireless network in ubuntu?
[00:18] <xiphos> Anyone present able to assist with a tv tuner ausio issue?
[00:18] <nightrid3r> i think microsoft first runs over it with a train before they copy but thats just me :)
[00:18] <ardchoille> !ot
[00:19] <Jack_Sparrow> xiphos, tvtime. mythtv. linuxmce etc?
[00:19] <ari_stress> morning all :)
[00:19] <zc00gii> remix_: just type the routers IP address, look in the routers manual
[00:19] <pdtpatrick> remix can you be more specific ..you want to join a network or you need to install a wireless card?
[00:19] <m0sh3> i tried Win7 looks nice but it is the same thing, just some new features but none of them to be recalled.
[00:19] <xiphos> Jack_sparrow: All of the above
[00:19] <PixelBitch> I updated Ubuntu and now X gets stuck in an infinite restart. I'm only able to start the system and use TTY1-6...is there any way I can just "restore" my intall to the current release and blow away everything non-standard?
[00:20] <pdtpatrick> remix if you want to join a wireless network then at the top right, you will see your network, click on it and click on the wifi essid you want to join, then put in the password or paraphrase and you should be set
[00:20] <zc00gii> m0sh3: I just wanted a free windows excuse for apps I need to run on Windows lol
[00:20] <xiphos> I cannot get any apps to play audio directly.  I have to cat /dev/audio1 to /dev/audio, and that results in mono-only sound, and a 2 second delay.
[00:20] <pdtpatrick> remix if however you are having problems, then install wicd and that should be basic enough to work
[00:20] <m0sh3> lol xD
[00:21] <m0sh3> i have it on a dvd, i installed it for like 2 days
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > m0sh3
[00:21] <m0sh3> then i unistalled it and installed linux
[00:22] <xiphos> I'm watching TV with tvtime now, with the 2-second delayed audio. It's very annoying.
[00:22] <m0sh3> ubottu, ok, sorry man my bad
[00:22] <xiphos> So, /dev/audio1 is definitely the correct TV tuner audio device. It even shows up in alsa.
[00:23] <m0sh3> join ##ubuntu-offtopic
[00:23] <Kevin___> When entering the Ubuntu Recovery Mode, will it boot GNOME or will it just give me a command prompt?
[00:23] <PixelBitch> Any way to restore ubuntu to a pristine state without doing a full reinstall?
[00:23] <useruseruseruser> herro
[00:23] <xiphos> But TVTime, MythTV, XAwTV, linuxmce, etc refuse to acknowledge /dev/audio1 as a valid audio input.

[00:24] <megabyte_> Im using NVIDIA Grahpics version 173 with a FX 5200 anyone able to get dual monitors working correctly??
[00:24] <nightrid3r> xiphos: give kdetv a try, i always use it and never had any probs
[00:24] <\Kira> why doesnt ubuntu use a rolling release system? It would be WAY more effective
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> kira Offtopic
[00:24] <remix_> but i have a usb antenna
[00:24] <PixelBitch> ardchoille: Really? I've got the packages on my HDD, I just want to jump back into the before times of long, long ago where things worked
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, the suggestion would be then to have a backup
[00:25] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah...
[00:25] <zc00gii> remix_: is it a adapter or router? if a router the default GNOME network manager will do
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, did you just install video drivers or a bunch of other stuf
[00:26] <ozzloy> what's the equivalent of ipconfig /renew on linux?
[00:26] <nightrid3r> remix_: is your adapter supported ??
[00:26] <nightrid3r> ozzloy: ifconfig
[00:26] <unop> ozzloy, sudo dhclient  <interface_name>
[00:26] <linux_trojan> sudu ifup eth0 is that renew IP?
[00:26] <PixelBitch> I let Ubuntu do it's update via update manager and now my X is stuck in an infinite restart
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, Were there perhaps unsupported repos in your source list.. or things youinstalled manually
[00:27] <unop> linux_trojan, that brings up an interface, not necessarily renew the DHCP lease.
[00:28] <Doonz> hey guys just wondering if you could recomend a gui feeling unrar utility to use in a shell
[00:28] <linux_trojan> unop: well you have to do sudo ifdown eth0 first?
[00:28] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: Possibly. Is there any way to just go back to a defacto Ubuntu install without doing a full wipe? I've got my important bits on other HDDs and machines.
[00:28] <unop> linux_trojan, even then, an ifup doesn't necessarily renew a DHCP lease.
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, there is no rollback
[00:28] <linux_trojan> i see
[00:29] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: Gotcha. Welp, I'm off to reinstall. Thanks for the help matey.
[00:29] <oholiab> linux_trojan: can you not just do dhcpcd stop and then dhcpcd start?
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> np sorry it wasnt a better answer
[00:29] <linux_trojan> anyone know how to download video from a camcorder in ubuntu?  google info is very weak, could use some help
[00:29] <ardchoille> PixelBitch: A good thing to do right now is try and figure out what you did wrong so as to not repeat the mistake. Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[00:29] <ardchoille> !paste | PixelBitch
[00:29] <linux_trojan> lol oholi:  didnt think of that one
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille, Stuck in a boot loop from what he said
[00:30] <PixelBitch> Uhmm...I'm in TTY2 atm, so I'm not sure how I'd go about posting anything to paste bin without going through some telnet fun.
[00:30] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: ah, ok, I was thinking it was a problem with xorg
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, You can try this.. one sec
[00:31] <ardchoille> PixelBitch: nevermind, I may have misunderstood the problem
[00:31] <linux_trojan> I need help downloading video from a camcorder, anyone available?
[00:31] <ardchoille> !info pastebinit
[00:31] <PixelBitch> ardchoille: I will move my sources and x confs from the HDD before I reinstall just so I can have my fsck-ups for future reference
[00:31] <ardchoille> ok
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list    (Provide Pastebin link in channel)

[00:34] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: I believe that was an error
[00:35] <xiphos> nightrid3r: Allright, I'll give kdetv a try. Thanks.

[00:40] <tylor> I tried to plug in my Ubuntu system into a projector via a s-video port, i went to screen resolutions and when i extended my screen to the projector it asked something about making a virtual screen resolution, i accepted and put in my password and now my screen is messed up, when i log in i can see all of my screenlets, which are suppose to be in a widget layer, and my background, no panels or desktop icons, i can alt+f2 and run "gnome

[00:42] <wyoung> hey
[00:42] <Delete> hey man

[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, Ok..
[00:42] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: Perhaps his xorg.conf is bad?

[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok see if that will install
[00:43] <chmac> Now I want to install grub onto it, but that step is failing.
[00:43] <chmac> Any suggestions on how to debug? Or how to install the bootloader? I'm using an encrypted lvm
[00:43] <wyoung> Jack_Sparrow: yarh!!
[00:43] <fromero69> hello
[00:44] <Delete> lol
[00:44] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: installed
[00:44] <chmac> I have an "execute a shell" option in the installer
[00:44] <xiphos> nightrid3r: Well, it partially worked. :)
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, try sudo nvidia-xconfig  it should remove your driver
[00:45] <xiphos> kdetv seems to just automagically cat /dev/audio1, and little else.
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, We are grasping straws here.. but worth a try

[00:47] <xiphos> Delete: Thanks, but I'm now firmly convinced it's because this is a cruddy software/firmware-based tuner.
[00:47] <nightrid3r> CrocoJet: no
[00:47] <ardchoille> CrocoJet: no
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, Reboot to recovery mode and see if you can startx
[00:47] <xiphos> I should just spend the extra and get a decent, hardware tuner card.  Thanks for the help!
[00:47] <CrocoJet> no adjust when installing?

[00:53] <vigo> whileiamhere: Uhmmmm,,,errr,,,did you search Synaptic for another PDF app?
[00:54] <whileimhere> Is there an adobe reader for linux?
[00:54] <eseven73> whileimhere: yes there is
[00:54] <whileimhere> I saw x-pdf but that is a viewer no editing in it
[00:54] <eseven73> !medibuntu | whileimhere you have to get adobe reader this way:
[00:54] <Victorix> please i search a french ubuntu channel
[00:55] <whileimhere> Thanks! :)

[00:55] <Schuenemann> I have a brand new installation of intrepid in my notebook (lenovo N200) and the audio is VERY low. If I have it at 60% it's almost inaudible. Any suggestions?
[00:56] <eseven73> !pm | fromero69
[00:56] <vigo> tried headphones?
[00:56] <fromero69> I need some help please, could someone help me with linux
[00:56] <fromero69> PLEASE
[00:56] <ardchoille> whileimhere: you the one looking for an app to edit pdf's?
[00:56] <Ratinho> Hi, Somebody have experience with Ubuntu Server 8.10 and Xen?
[00:57] <Sylphid> !ask fromero69
[00:57] <whileimhere> ardchoille yeppo
[00:57] <Sylphid> !ask | fromero69
[00:57] <vigo> I dunno,,just thought a test with headphones might determine if is an output or hardware error
[00:57] <Victorix> please i have a simple question
[00:57] <ardchoille> whileimhere: apt-cache search pdfedit
[00:57] <Victorix> can i install xubuntu on my laptop Toshiba tecra 8100 PIII 128 Mo ?
[00:57] <fromero69> I get error: brokencount>0
[00:57] <Victorix> if yes how
[00:57] <kitche> whileimhere: no such program is made yet I believe but since pdf is a open standard I m sure there will be one at one point
[00:57] <skandlous> <---- noob alert... this is my first linux computer and ubuntu was recommended to me. i went to download it and i want to knoiw if i can run the iso file straight up when it finishes
[00:57] <ardchoille> !info pdfedit
[00:57] <whileimhere> LOL okay i will stick to the adobe product for now then.
[00:58] <Sylphid> fromero69, that doesnt tell anyone anything... what are you trying to do ... what program is it erroring on... we need something more to get an idea of where you having problems
[00:58] <nightrid3r> skandlous: burn the iso IMAGE to cd end reboot
[00:59] <kitche> ardchoille: yeah it's a bit limited it seems compared to adobe's at least last time I knew
[00:59] <fromero69> I am trying to run the package manager and it says error:brokencount>0
[00:59] <skandlous> nightrid3r: are there any downloadable executables that i dont have to burn first
[00:59] <ardchoille> kitche: Ah, ok. I used it once and it seemed ok, but I didn't get too deep into the app
[00:59] <nightrid3r> skandlous: no all you need is in the iso
[00:59] <Ratinho> anybody use xen in Ubuntu Server 8.10 that can help me?
[00:59] <nightrid3r> skandlous: remember to burn as an image, not as data dsik
[01:00] <outofthemadness> Schuenemann: maybe try adjusting the PCM volume
[01:00] <fromero69>  I am trying to run the package manager and it says error:brokencount>0
[01:00] <Victorix> Please can i install xubuntu on my laptop Toshiba tecra 8100 PIII 128 Mo ?
[01:00] <Sylphid> fromero69, open synaptic and go to edit and click fix broken packages
[01:00] <bartek> Hi there, what's the proper way to  tie a command to a specific script script in a dir (i.e: /var/lib/some_script) ? Using alias in .bashrc or ?
[01:00] <outofthemadness> Schuenemann: in the volume control that is
[01:00] <vigo> frmer69: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418182
[01:00] <skandlous> ok thanks... i need to get a burner first... running an asus eee and dont have an external cdrom yet
[01:00] <Schuenemann> outofthemadness, it's already maxed. And that distorts the sound...
[01:01] <Schuenemann> everything is maxed, actually
[01:01] <nightrid3r> Victorix: should work
[01:01] <whileimhere> I am not sure what happened but after the last few updates my wireless kicked in and has been working without dropped signals.
[01:01] <fromero69> this is my 3rd day using linux so I dont know much about anything. i tried to use synaptic manager but I got this  messageE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:01] <fromero69> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[01:01] <nightrid3r> whileimhere: the magic of updates :)
[01:02] <jtaji> bartek: I'd put a link to it in a directory already in your path, like /usr/local/bin
[01:02] <bartek> jtaji: good idea! thanks
[01:02] <Sylphid> fromero69, Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[01:02] <nightrid3r> fromero69: open a terminal and type in the dpkg..... command
[01:02] <Sylphid> fromero69, then type sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:02] <fromero69> okay ill do that
[01:03] <outofthemadness> Schuenemann, that's all I've got to suggest. I had that same problem, but that's how I solved it. My PCM volume was too high... IIRC there is a linux audio channel on freenode. I might suggest trying there
[01:03] <linxeh> are there any tools that can take a pdf and reencode all the images to a particular dpi/resolution/size?
[01:03] <Newfie_rich> Hey all, just wondering what is the command to compile a java program in terminal?
[01:03] <linxeh> outofthemadness: #lad / #lau
[01:03] <echo_> Hello! What is a good GUI Ubuntu program for archives?
[01:03] <fromero69> okay I entered that command and now it's back at the promtp frank@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:03] <fromero69> [sudo] password for frank:

[01:04] <PixelBitch> Ooops
[01:04] <linxeh> gonewestcoast: it is justintime compiled
[01:04] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[01:04] <weed37> hi guys i use rapidshare for dling all my stuff and use the rs manager i just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio latop aand am used to vista or xp i was wondering if there is an app like rs manager i can use for getting my liles in linux
[01:04] <fromero69> okay sorry
[01:04] <whileimhere> Is the XFCE desktop really lighter on the system than GNOME?
[01:04] <eseven73> echo_: archiver, fileroller maybe
[01:04] <skandlous> new question but not ubuntu specific: if updates fail to install is that because they dont pertain to my current distro and or system reqa
[01:04] <Newfie_rich> gonewestcoast: ok but do you know how to compile java code?
[01:05] <nightrid3r> whileimhere: yes it is
[01:05] <linxeh> whileimhere: yes. I know someone using it on a p200
[01:05] <gonewestcoast> Newfie_rich: Apparently not. :-p
[01:05] <eseven73> whileimhere: yes but xfce is getting more bloated every day
[01:05] <echo_> Hello. What's good software for ZIP and RAR files? Right out of the box, I can't extract anything, it says unknown archive so I guess I need better software. Anyone?
[01:05] <linxeh> Newfie_rich: you use javac to compile the code to java bytecode (for the vm). the JVM then compiles it to native code or interprets it.
[01:05] <whileimhere> On a p2 wowo
[01:05] <eseven73> whileimhere: if you really want something lightweight, try fluxbox
[01:05] <fromero69> I ran the command sudo dpkg --configure a
[01:05] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: or lxde its pretty nice
[01:05] <nightrid3r> echo_: rar is in the repo's
[01:05] <weed37> hi guys i use rapidshare for dling all my stuff and use the rs manager i just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio latop aand am used to vista or xp i was wondering if there is an app like rs manager i can use for getting my liles in linux
[01:05] <linxeh> whileimhere: p1, 200mhz :)
[01:05] <whileimhere> eseven73 I have tried it but my wireless was not there.
[01:06] <Sylphid> fromero69, run synaptic now ... should be fine
[01:06] <fromero69> k
[01:06] <whileimhere> a p1 linxeh? WOWW
[01:06] <linxeh> Newfie_rich: you can in theory compile java to native code completely, but it is completely going against the whole point of the language. you should have used C.
[01:06] <rxs> Hi! how do i disable xv output and change it to X11 in gstreamer. Using ubuntu 8.04 and xserver-xorg-video-ati
[01:06] <echo_> nightrid3r, I don't know what that means. Repo's?
[01:06] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: your wireless can be setup manually in /etc/network/interfaces then just ifdown wlan0 and ifup wlan0 or whatever it is called if not wlan0
[01:06] <eseven73> whileimhere: yep no panel icons or menus really :) that's what makes it lightweight
[01:06] <whileimhere> Ahh but I am lazy and like some things auto.
[01:06] <nightrid3r> echo_: use synaptic and search for rar
[01:06] <whileimhere> ;)
[01:07] <powertool08> Does anyone know of a program to create cd labels (for cd itself not case) specifically with the memorex template WL-OL5025
[01:07] <Newfie_rich> linxeh thanks for your help that all i needed to know
[01:07] <echo_> nightrid3r, I am doing that, however nothing is GUI based (well, the last couple I've tried at least.)
[01:07] <matrim26> can anyone help with a printer issue? I'm on a windows network, and I'm trying to access a network printer. I got through the printer config stuff, and then it asked me for the "Password for root on localhost". Now, I know there is none set. Is there some way to get around that? Or something specific I'm supposed to put in?
[01:07] <fromero69> wow thank you so much
[01:07] <fromero69> it was such a simple fix lol
[01:07] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: to get your wireless up in fluxbox you have to edit its startup file and do wirelessprogramthing & then next line have exec fluxbox
[01:07] <powertool08> matrim26: Try your username/pass
[01:07] <nightrid3r> echo_: its for a server ?
[01:07] <eseven73> whileimhere: lightweight window mangers can run things automatically too, but you have to edit a file
[01:08] <eseven73> seems me and h4mx0r are on the same page :)
[01:08] <echo_> nightrid3r, no, it's not for a server.
[01:08] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: try doing leafpad ~/.fluxbox/startup
[01:08] <matrim26> powertool08: tried it, didn't work
[01:08] <marabout> !HFS
[01:08] <powertool08> matrim26: Try localhost:631, maybe you can set it there somewhere
[01:09] <nightrid3r> echinos: hmmm arch should use rar to open the files
[01:09] <skandlous> if an update fails installation repeatedly does that just mean it doesnt apply to my system
[01:09] <matrim26> powertool08: as the username or password?
[01:09] <Ratinho> IF somebody use XEN virtualization on ubuntu server 8.10 please private-me
[01:09] <linxeh> Newfie_rich: the article in wikipedia on java is quite good
[01:09] <rxs> Hi! how do i disable xv output and change it to X11 in gstreamer. Using ubuntu 8.04 and cannot find gstreamer-properties
[01:09] <h4mx0r> eseven73: yeah, I usually use fluxbox but been loving lxde. Tried playing some yesterday with xmonad but its bit confusing and restrictive in ways
[01:09] <eseven73> h4mx0r: lol i just installed lxde last night, its ok i guess. but i love my fluxbox :)
[01:09] <powertool08> matrim26: No, in a browser, go to localhost:631 to get to the cups web interface
[01:09] <h4mx0r> rxs: what's xv output?
[01:10] <nightrid3r> skandlous: could be or maybe there was an update done from source
[01:10] <whileimhere> There used to be a pacman screensaver in the xscreensavers anyone know where it is now?
[01:10] <echo_> nightrid3r, Karchiver looks promising, I'm going to try that.
[01:10] <h4mx0r> eseven73: hey I got a question for you which do you prefer conky or gkrellem?
[01:10] <eseven73> conky is good, havent had much time with gkrellem
[01:10] <nightrid3r> echo_: that should work together with rar
[01:11] <h4mx0r> eseven73: i heard there was something else called xmodbar but it isn't in the repos perhaps renamed with some other tools
[01:11] <rxs> h4mx0r: i really dunno exactly .. but I know that my driver supports only one xv port for video and I would love to use x11 output with software scaling
[01:11] <echo_> It appears it works with all typical archives. I am extracting a DVD movie image, what is good burning software?
[01:11] <mrwes> echo_: K3b
[01:12] <echo_> mrwes, thank-you.
[01:12] <mrwes> nod
[01:12] <h4mx0r> rxs: so umm what you trying to do with that then?
[01:12] <eseven73> h4mx0r: yeah i donno, im on my Fedora box at the moment so i couldnt check :)
[01:12] <skandlous> thanks night
[01:12] <mike12> hey does anyone know how to free up space
[01:12] <h4mx0r> eseven73: do you know how to get battery status and thermal temperatures listed in conky? I use a laptop and it would be helpful
[01:12] <ogre> i setup gnomenu and have an extra icon on there I want to get rid of. its that ubuntu one at the bottom of gnomenu. http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4fv8.png
[01:12] <wyoung> yes | rm -fr /
[01:13] <rxs> h4mx0r: okay .. let me put it this way .. I really dont care what gstreamer uses, as I dont use any app that works directly with it ... I use xfce and mplayer for my needs .. but then skype has a gstreamer dependency and uses xv for video output ... but can also use X11
[01:13] <jtaji> !danger
[01:13] <eseven73> h4mx0r: that requires lm-sensors and a good .conky script
[01:13] <wyoung> yes I wouldnt run that command btw
[01:13] <ogre> h4mx0r,  its really personal pref. i prefer conky myself
[01:13] <wyoung> but that is a way to free some space
[01:13] <h4mx0r> ogre: right click the button and select edit menu should be option to delete the ubuntu thing
[01:13] <mike12> ok
[01:14] <eseven73> wyoung: that is not helpful at all. :/
[01:14] <jtaji> wyoung: it's a way to destroy your system, please don't give that sort of advice here
[01:14] <TheFunkbomb> good evening
[01:14] <nubuntu> hello
[01:14] <wyoung> eseven73: it is if you are in a root shell
[01:14] <rxs> h4mx0r: in mplayer I use X11 with zoom enabled for watching videos .. I have long forgotten about gnome and gstreamer ... and I remember a command called gstreamer-properties  .. it used to work in 7.10 .. but then ... now .. I kind of find nothing similar
[01:14] <eseven73> no its not
[01:14] <mrwes> wyoung: with the / and blow away everything? sigh...
[01:14] <eseven73> stop suggesting it
[01:14] <TheFunkbomb> how can I make VLC my default movie player instead of the stock 8.10 player? (totem?)
[01:14] <whileimhere> The Ubuntu thang is a funky thang that none should delete.
[01:14] <h4mx0r> rxs: so is skype not playing or is there an error? does it have something to do with not being able to run other sound apps while listening to voice?
[01:14] <wyoung> ok
[01:15] <h4mx0r> eseven73: ah lm-sensors I forgot all about those thanks
[01:15] <mike12> hey is there anything i can delete to free up space
[01:15] <kinja-sheep> TheFunkbomb: Right-click on the video file and go to the properties to change "Open with..."
[01:15] <mike12> it keeps sayin somethin is full
[01:15] <linxeh> are there any tools that can take a pdf and reencode all the images to a particular dpi/resolution/size?
[01:15] <powertool08> mike12: anything you aren't using
[01:15] <TheFunkbomb> kinja-sheep, beautiful
[01:15] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[01:15] <nightrid3r> wyoung: stop getting linux info from bash.org
[01:15] <rxs> h4mx0r: its not about voice .. its about the video ... if it uses the xv output .. i cannot have both my video and the other parties video .. I would love to use X11 w/ scaling and be able to see that
[01:15] <eseven73> h4mx0r: yw
[01:15] <mike12> im can delete everything
[01:15] <jtaji> mike12: 'sudo aptitude clean' will clear out the package cache in /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:16] <mike12> i just wanna like reset the computer
[01:16] <kinja-sheep> mike12: Try sudo rm -rf * /tmp && sudo aptitude autoclean
[01:16] <wyoung> nightrid3r: xkcd actually :
[01:16] <ogre> h4mx0r,  any idea where the tick box for that icon is?
[01:16] <mankash> anybody know about hostpad module
[01:16] <mike12> do i just look for that in a folder
[01:16] <TheFunkbomb> kinja-sheep, that doesn't make it the default player though, does it?
[01:16] <rxs> h4mx0r: I have complete control on my sound w/ alsa ( not a big fan of pulse .. though I have read the white papers and I am impressed with teh sliding window approach )
[01:16] <templaedhel> when I run tremulous its all slow when you go into a server it totally freezes
[01:16] <kinja-sheep> mike12: Run it in the terminal.
[01:17] <DevilDoc5> someone got time for a person considering "the switch"
[01:17] <mike12> ok just type sudo
[01:17] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: ok, fire away
[01:17] <kinja-sheep> mike12: Run in the terminal --> sudo rm -rf * /tmp && sudo aptitude autoclean
[01:17] <h4mx0r> rxs: yeah i'm using pulse with 8.10, is it possible to hear multiple sound streams or do I have to switch back to alsa.
[01:17] <mike12> ok thanks
[01:17] <h4mx0r> rxs: about your problem though why do you say your limited to only one output?
[01:17] <wyoung> lol
[01:17] <michal_> exit
[01:18] <h4mx0r> michal_: try ctrl + c
[01:18] <rxs> h4mx0r: xvinfo | grep ports says 1
[01:18] <michal_> thx
[01:18] <DevilDoc5> I was wondering, as I seem to have tethered myself to "the beast" via various games and applications, is there a (preferably) free accurate windoze replicator that will allow me to still play my games and such?
[01:18] <rxs> h4mx0r: now that sucks .. as I can have only one xv playing at the same time :(
[01:18] <kinja-sheep> I think I just sent mike12 to his death.
[01:18] <h4mx0r> rxs: wow.. mine says 32
[01:18] <Vantrax> DevilDoc5, Look at Wine, but it wont play everything
[01:18] <ogre> kinja-sheep,  i saw that.
[01:18] <Vantrax> !wine | DevilDoc5
[01:18] <DevilDoc5> cool thanks will check it out
[01:19] <gianluigi> Salve a tutti!
[01:19] <nightrid3r> DevilDoc5: games are problematic but some apps may run under wine
[01:19] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: wine is in the right direction
[01:19] <h4mx0r> DevilDoc5: also look at winetricks, playonlinux, and the ubuntu forums advanced wine section. They help a lot
[01:19] <Vantrax> DevilDoc5, put it this way, not everything works, but the Orangebox does
[01:19] <Vantrax> so did Doom3
[01:19] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: or you can buy vmware with opengl support
[01:19] <DevilDoc5> also how about YIM?  Preferably with Webcam support as I need this for my business dealings
[01:19] <rxs> h4mx0r: what graphics card do u have ? I am long time ubuntu user ( feel ashamed to say that as I cant find gstreamer settings .. )
[01:19] <kitche> Vantrax: why would you use Doom3 with wine just use native Doom3 :)
[01:19] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: but legally you still need a windows licence to run windows in a vm
[01:19] <kinja-sheep> ogra: My mistake.  Shouldn't have the wildcard in it.  At least he's freeing up some spaces. :|
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> I was actually talking about Combat arms and BF2
[01:20] <templaedhel> ANYONE???? TREMULOUS CRASHES X
[01:20] <Vantrax> kitche, native doom3 came out after
[01:20] <rxs> h4mx0r: I have a ati x300 .. the worst of the lot and have struggled with it for over 3 years ... mostly with the ati-fglrx driver .. but then ... now with the open source and xrandr I have better control
[01:20] <wyoung> yim?
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> I still have windows licenses from old comps, that are unused, those should work no?
[01:20] <CrocoJet> Ubuntu make use dual channel memory ?
[01:20] <Vantrax> DevilDoc5, BF2 works in wine
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> Yahoo Instant Messenger
[01:20] <Vantrax> CrocoJet, yes
[01:20] <kitche> CrocoJet: yes if your system handles dual channel memory
[01:20] <kinja-sheep> TheFunkbomb: Yes -- It does make it the default player.
[01:20] <h4mx0r> rxs: I don't use gstreamer much myself either Iike using smplayer a bit though. I have a nvidia 7600 go. Yeah ati is like that they just cheat to beat benchmarks no real settings though and most only play at max performance
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> awesome thank you
[01:21] <nightrid3r> CrocoJet: your motherboard does
[01:21] <TheFunkbomb> kinja-sheep, okay, thanks
[01:21] <CrocoJet> do you have idea % performance .. single channel and dual channel ?
[01:21] <wyoung> CrocoJet: that is up to your motherboard
[01:21] <CrocoJet> ok
[01:21] <DevilDoc5> thank you all very much for your help this evening
[01:21] <kinja-sheep> TheFunkbomb: And if you happen to run a different file that opens up the different player -- Name it to VLC -- Because of different in filenames extension + possible formats.
[01:21] <wyoung> CrocoJet: te os doesnt have control over that
[01:21] <rxs> h4mx0r: anyway .. I dont want to install gnome ( cant stand metacity ! ) .. so do you know how I can invole gstreamer-properties in 8.04 ?
[01:21] <ogre> i setup gnomenu and have an extra icon on there I want to get rid of. its that ubuntu one at the bottom of gnomenu. http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4fv8.png I am in "edit menus" and cannot find which icon it is
[01:21] <h4mx0r> rxs: what driver you using for it though? the proprietary one recently was released as open source and they have been integrated some
[01:22] <h4mx0r> well not recently actually quite a while back
[01:22] <rxs> the open source
[01:22] <CrocoJet> ok, thanks for information !
[01:22] <rxs> h4mx0r: the open source one
[01:22] <h4mx0r> rxs: why can't you just install gstreamer without gnome? I mean even xubuntu and kubuntu use it for some things.
[01:23] <kinja-sheep> ogre: Seems like it's in the theme you used....
[01:23] <Vantrax> you need all the dependancies h4mx0r
[01:23] <rxs> h4mx0r: yes I did install all the stuff but still cant find the settings manager !
[01:23] <fromero69> hi it's me again fomero69, I have downloaded Ubuntu to msi wind, and there are a few problems that I need help with
[01:23] <Vantrax> fromero69, grats
[01:23] <h4mx0r> rxs: didn't know there was a manager app for it
[01:23] <ogre> kinja-sheep,  yeah so i can just edit it in the theme then?
[01:23] <rxs> h4mx0r: did a aptitude install gstreamer*
[01:23] <fromero69> I help resolving the suspension problem with the msi wind
[01:23] <kitche> h4mx0r: huh the open source driver is not the same as proprietary for ati really
[01:23] <rxs> h4mx0r: what version of ubuntu do you use ?
[01:24] <h4mx0r> fromero69: what's msi wind?
[01:24] <kinja-sheep> ogre: I'm not expert.  If you can.  Sure.  I suppose you should try renaming the icon (to something else) and it may disappear.
[01:24] <fromero69> it's a netbook no cd rom
[01:24] <h4mx0r> kitche: yeah they are both a bit different
[01:24] <rxs> h4mx0r: come to think o it .. they did some stuff with gnome and integrating all gnome stuff into some settings thing ... lemme look around for a sec
[01:24] <fromero69> everything works fine, I just need to run some codes in the terminal but I cant see to make it work
[01:24] <ogre> kinja-sheep,  ill give it a go. i think i can fix it
[01:25] <kinja-sheep> ogra: Alright.  Good luck.  :)
[01:25] <h4mx0r> rxs: I'm on 8.10 right now. Thinking about reformatting though I've messed up this laptop so much lol. And it would be nice to have a separate /home incase I want to multi boot other systems
[01:25] <fromero69> I found the solution but I just cant make it work for some reason here's the link
[01:25] <fromero69> http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Tweaks
[01:26] <rxs> h4mx0r: yes... a separate /home  is the bets way
[01:26] <Vantrax> fromero69, suspend is a common problem across linux in laptops
[01:26] <fromero69> oh really
[01:26] <rxs> h4mx0r: come to think of it ... i have not changed my home .. may be deleted a few configs over time .. but from 6.04 ... its been the same home
[01:26] <fromero69> why would that be? is because of linux and the programming?
[01:26] <Vantrax> fromero69, are you using 8.10 or 8.04
[01:27] <h4mx0r> fromero69: not really a problem just a lot of people whom know the word suspend also know enough tech to whine like a newbie :/
[01:27] <fromero69> I am using 8.10 and I have found the solution on the website http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Tweaks I just cant make it work for some reason
[01:27] <rxs> h4mx0r: dont have the patience to download 8 GB of mail :)
[01:27] <fromero69> hahaha like me you mean lol
[01:28] <nightrid3r> fromero69: the instructions are for 8.04
[01:28] <tester_> I am programming on linux and need to get my program work to have access to some files which require sudo, so right now I use with gksudo and it works okay, is there way to create a shorcut or something to di it
[01:28] <fromero69> yeah I guess that is the problem
[01:28] <tester_> I do not want a user to do that ever time he/she uses the app
[01:28] <fromero69> I figured it should still be the same
[01:28] <fromero69> so I just need to find something for ubuntu 8.10
[01:28] <james_> Does anyone have experience recovering files from NTFS partitions?
[01:29] <rxs> how do i invoke gnome prefernces using command line ?
[01:29] <gonewestcoast> james_: More than I'd like.
[01:29] <tester_> james_ how bad is it
[01:29] <wyoung> james_: not in ubuntu
[01:29] <fabos> ??
[01:29] <h4mx0r> tester_: umm use sudo or drop privileges
[01:29] <fabos> bonsoir
[01:29]  * fabos est content
[01:29] <rxs> !gstreamer-preferences
[01:29] <h4mx0r> tester_: I use kismet a bit and it requires partial root access maybe try a similar method
[01:29] <eseven73> !fr
[01:29] <tester_> h4mx0r, I am using gksudo right now, was hoping there was a way to create a shortcut or something
[01:29] <james_> gonewestcoast: business MYOB accounting files, all gone
[01:29] <fabos> join #ubuntu-fr
[01:30] <nightrid3r> fromero69: going for 8.04 can keep you out of the upgrade cycle for a longer time so this might be a wise choice
[01:30] <tester_> maybe we will be write a simple shell script
[01:30] <eseven73> fabos: its /join
[01:30] <gonewestcoast> gonewestcoast: Gone how?
[01:30] <gonewestcoast> Er.
[01:30] <gonewestcoast> james_: Gone how?  Baleeted?
[01:30] <Sylphid> how do i make my terminal flash?
[01:30] <rxs> has gstreamer-properties been discontinued from 8.04 ? if so how does one set the gstreamer properties .. particularly video output
[01:30] <kinja-sheep> I think I'm experiencing a filezilla bug.  <_<
[01:30] <fromero69> yeah I see
[01:31] <james_> gonewestcoast: A friend accidently deleted them with a program called CCleaner
[01:31] <gonewestcoast> james_: Okay, this isn't even remotely covered under Ubuntu.  Go talk to #windows about it.
[01:31] <fromero69> I have no cd rom so I used wubi to install the software and it just installed ubuntu 8.10
[01:32] <h4mx0r> fromero69: dont' use wubi get a usb to install ubuntu there is simple app for it
[01:32] <james_>  gonewestcoast: okey doke, thanks
[01:32] <nightrid3r> fromero69: get an usb dvd drive and use that
[01:32] <h4mx0r> fromero69: use this program http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[01:32] <eseven73> !unetbootin
[01:32] <fromero69> okay thank you
[01:32] <eseven73> bah
[01:33] <h4mx0r> fromero69: wubi would be translating the ntfs to a native linux file system and slow things a tiny bit on disk access
[01:33] <tester_> man how do I automate gksudo
[01:33] <fromero69> thank you very much
[01:33] <tester_> it still prompts me to select an app to run
[01:33] <fromero69> everyone thank you!
[01:34] <tester_> Is there a separate forum for programming questions on linux?
[01:34] <h4mx0r> eseven73: they should add that program to ubottu its very nice. burning cds is so obsolete.
[01:35] <eseven73> h4mx0r: yeah good idea
[01:35] <Sylphid> tester_, your best of asking in a forum for the language you are coding in
[01:35] <ninjabuntu> When in a Terminal I want to be able to type the command "clear" to also be usable with the command "cls" I sure that can be accomplished with a custom Linking so something like that...
[01:35] <h4mx0r> tester_: there are lots of programming groups, and there are some bug/error channels you can keep track of. You checked launchpad yet its kind of nice
[01:35] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: its called an alias
[01:35] <eternaljoy> I have a 1080p .mp4 file that wont play using mplayer or VLC.  Anyone know why?  It plays sound, but screen is black
[01:35] <eseven73> first the floppy drive , now cdrom goes obsolete haha, what's next.
[01:36] <kinja-sheep> !mp4
[01:36] <eternaljoy> eseven73: having a good day? :)
[01:36] <h4mx0r> ninjabuntu: set an alias for it in your .bashrc file
[01:36] <whileimhere> I know this is a dumb question but when   I am at work I use the XP program called Remote Desktop to access other computers does ubuntu have something like that and will it work with XP workstations?
[01:36] <eseven73> eternaljoy: always :)
[01:36] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: yeah thats it... h4mx0r: now how to do that for the clear command...
[01:36] <Sylphid> ninjabuntu, alias cls='clear'
[01:36] <h4mx0r> ninjabuntu: I also set some streamed music servers in my bashrc for a few genre I like incase I get bored with cli :)
[01:36] <lolcakes> whileimhere: its Terminal Services Client in Aplications->internet
[01:37] <tekteen> eternaljoy: try to play it in mplayer using the command line and the -v and -frames 1 options. Look for errors.
[01:37] <lolcakes> Terminal Server Client*
[01:37] <whileimhere> Thanks!
[01:37] <eternaljoy> tekteen: what?
[01:37] <whileimhere> Also is there an open source Virtulization program?
[01:37] <lolcakes> yes, Virtualbox
[01:38] <tekteen> eternaljoy: your video, play it with mplayer using the terminal
[01:38] <eseven73> !virtualbox
[01:38] <nightrid3r> whileimhere: XEN
[01:38] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: yeah its called terminal server something another. Some of the clients features aren't installed by default though so if you want vnc or x11 streaming support should install those packages
[01:38] <eternaljoy> tekteen: how?
[01:38] <ninjabuntu> sylphid: so wait... I go into the folder where Clear is, and type Sudo alias cls='Clear'
[01:38] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: edit your .bashrc
[01:38] <tekteen> eternaljoy: I do not know how to open a terminal in ubuntu
[01:38] <tekteen> !terminal | eternaljoy
[01:38] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: the command to edit that is?
[01:38] <h4mx0r> tekteen: it is under accessories!!
[01:39] <TraceRoute> Does anyone know how i can stream movies from linux to my xbox 360?
[01:39] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: "sudo nano ~/.bashrc"
[01:39] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok ty
[01:39] <tekteen> h4mx0r: I am not a gnome person
[01:39] <tekteen> :-)
[01:39] <h4mx0r> tekteen: don't panic! do ctrl alt f2 if you can't find a terminal then ctrl alt f7 to get back to desktop
[01:39] <gunspoja> gday all
[01:39] <eternaljoy> !thanks | tekteen
[01:39] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: ahhhh ok...
[01:39] <gunspoja> what is the proper procedure for removing an ubuntu installation on a dual-boot windows system?
[01:39] <h4mx0r> tekteen: I know gnome scared the heck out of me when I first used it and couldn't find a terminal
[01:39] <jtaji> lolcakes, ninjabuntu, no need for sudo to edit your own .bashrc
[01:39] <lolcakes> oh true
[01:39] <lolcakes> :P
[01:40] <h4mx0r> yeah that would make it unaccessible to your user
[01:40] <tekteen> h4mx0r: I use alt+f2 command gnome-terminal
[01:40] <tekteen> eternaljoy: ok
[01:40] <lolcakes> yeah my bad, sorry ninjabuntu
[01:40] <tekteen> eternaljoy: where is the video?
[01:41] <h4mx0r> tekteen: I think alt f2 leaves some sort of run daemon going for one reason or another
[01:41] <Sylphid> how can i make my terminal flash?
[01:41] <eternaljoy> tekteen: desktop
[01:41] <eternaljoy> tekteen: it says mplayer not installed
[01:41] <lolcakes> Sylphid: explain
[01:41] <tekteen> ok
[01:41] <lolcakes> Sylphid: you mean look fancy, or flash on and off?
[01:41] <tekteen> eternaljoy: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[01:41] <eternaljoy> Sylphid: take its trench coat off
[01:41] <h4mx0r> sylphid: umm try getting a terminal that will render a gif as its background? sounds very glitchy though
[01:41] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok ty
[01:41] <calipso> anyone know the command to open the gnome menu editor?
[01:41] <Sylphid> lolcakes, flash on and off like an alert
[01:42] <lolcakes> calipso: right click menu -> edit menu
[01:42] <pyrophelia> when you create a 770 directory, how can you cd to it if your not part of the group or the owner?
[01:42] <calipso> lolcakes: i removed it by accident :(
[01:42] <tekteen> eternaljoy: once that is done, run the command: cd Desktop (capital D counts)
[01:42] <lolcakes> oh the command
[01:42] <lolcakes> umm
[01:42] <pio_> hey, i have a freaking problem with my built-in microphone on a asus f3jc laptop. All guide i've read so far tells me that this was a problem from ubuntu dapper and now it should works fine
[01:42] <jtaji> calipso: alacarte
[01:42] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok
[01:42] <tekteen> eternaljoy: tell me when that is done
[01:42] <Daphko> Hallo jemand noc hda!?
[01:42] <pio_> i use intrepid and the mic does not work
[01:43] <Daphko> ohh english
[01:43] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok brb
[01:43] <Daphko> can anybody help me to boot the ubuntu iso from my usb stick !?
[01:43] <danc3> Daphko: what would you like us to do?
[01:43] <pyrophelia> pio_, this may be a stupid question, but is the mic selected as a primary record source?
[01:43] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: ok I entered the .bashrc then at the very bottom I entered [alias cls='clear'] with out the brackets and saved but nothing happens when I type cls and hit enter.
[01:43] <cinco29> is it easy or hard to setup ftp server on ubuntu?
[01:43] <Sylphid> lolcakes, h4mx0r im trying to have my terminal flash on an event in a custom bash script
[01:43] <danc3> cinco29: it's easy
[01:43] <pyrophelia> pio_, critical yet, often over looked option
[01:43] <kinja-sheep> ninjabuntu: source ~/.profile
[01:44] <jtaji> ninjabuntu: type 'source .bashrc' in the terminal
[01:44] <vigo> Daphko: Is USB set up as a boot thing in BIOS?
[01:44] <dstevens5833> Hi.
[01:44] <Daphko> yes
[01:44] <Daphko> i can boot from usb
[01:44] <pio_> pyrophelia, there are 5 input options, i've tried all
[01:44] <calipso> thanks jtaji and lolcakes
[01:44] <h4mx0r> cinco29: there are a lot of ftp servers, what kind you looking for? there are also other methods of transfering files like ssh or ntfs/samba which perform well in their own regards
[01:44] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: http://wazem.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-create-command-alias-to-save.html
[01:44] <cinco29> okay ima search on google to find out how. i don twanna bother yall professionals:)
[01:44] <pyrophelia> pio_, what program are you using as your mixer?
[01:44] <vigo> Daphko: I am stumpered then,,let me look at the boards
[01:44] <eseven73> Sylphid: emacs does that , ifyou disable the 'bell' you can make the entire app blink/flash :)  and Emacs can run terminal stuff, mystery solved :)
[01:45] <bastid_raZor> !usb > Daphko .. the 2nd link may be what you're looking for
[01:45] <h4mx0r> Sylphid: yeah I heard you. Been waiting for someone to answer you, it sounds neat
[01:45] <pio_> the volume control that comes with intrepid
[01:45] <cinco29> well im trying to setup ftp server for my brother to access my pc and just get what ever he wanna get
[01:45] <tekteen> eternaljoy: are you almost done? having problems?
[01:45] <ninjabuntu> ok perfect... will that work from now on? or will i have to keep typing 'source .bashrc' every time I want to use that...
[01:45] <gunspoja> can I use grub to fix an error 22 with the MBR, or do I have to boot from windows cd/ubuntu livecd to fix this problem?
[01:45] <eternaljoy> tekteen: 80%
[01:45] <tekteen> ok
[01:45] <pio_> pyrophelia, also i've tried to configure using System - Preferences - Sound
[01:46] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: .bashrc gets loaded everytime you start bash, so no
[01:46] <h4mx0r> Sylphid: I did a few kool things with eterm before like invisible terminal. Perhaps there is an option with it try doing terminal --help to see or read the man pages
[01:46] <nightrid3r> cinco29: vsftpd will do fine
[01:46] <ninjabuntu> awesome...
[01:46] <ninjabuntu> thanks guys...
[01:46] <cinco29> cool can i get that from the add software thing?
[01:46] <nightrid3r> cinco29: yes
[01:46] <pyrophelia> pio_, in the volume control window, do you see a tab called 'switches' with "Microphone capture" checked?
[01:46] <cinco29> niiice...
[01:46] <h4mx0r> cinco29: yeah I heard lot of good things about vsftpd before and ultimately decided on using it myself
[01:46] <cinco29> see i like this os so much im trying to bring him to the better side lol
[01:47] <pio_> pyrophelia, yes, but not now. It shows to me 5 sound devices, just 2 have input option
[01:47] <cinco29> h4mx0r good to know
[01:47] <h4mx0r> cinco29: why what other os you use? I feel bad for not trying out solaris or bsd :/
[01:48] <gunspoja> I followed some instructions on a forum that said to remove ubuntu from a dual-boot system you just get rid of its partitions.  turns out that doesn't work :P so now I have a grub error 22
[01:48]  * lolcakes wonders how to shot web
[01:48] <djeik> Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu on a Sony VAIO and when I get to the "Prepare partitions" screen, none of my partitions are listed and all of the buttons are grayed out except "Back" and "Forward". Why does this happen?
[01:48] <cinco29> i also have windows xp...
[01:48] <eseven73> cinco29: this ftp server not gonna be accessed from that outside world is it? If so you might want to try ssh server its more secure
[01:48] <djeik> and what do I do to fix it?
[01:48] <pyrophelia> pio_, click on preferences and make sure your microphone capture option is being displayed and checked
[01:48] <cinco29> but i have seen the light which ubuntu is
[01:48] <echo_> I can't get any software to properly unrar my RAR archive of a DVD movie. Whenever I try to unarchive it, the three different pieces of software Im using either A) say its not an archive, B) shows a very small file to extract (which isn't the whole archive, the file it shows is only 200 megs, it should be over 4 gigs) .. does anyone have any archive software they prefer?
[01:48] <lolcakes> gunspoja: boot your xp cd into recovery mode, then run "fixboot" and "fixmbr"
[01:48] <cinco29> only my brother will access it. thats all
[01:49] <gunspoja> lolcakes, ok I'll go try that.  thank you :)
[01:49] <echo_> KArchiver isn't working for me, nor is the Gnome archiver. It works under Windows so I know there is nothing wrong with the archive itself.
[01:49] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok thanks. it plays the video now :-)
[01:49] <pio_> pyrophelia, i checked it, but does not show the volume option
[01:49] <eseven73> cinco29: ok because FTP is not encrypted :)
[01:49] <cinco29> i got you
[01:49] <bastid_raZor> cinco29; use winscp, probably safer and easier
[01:49] <tekteen> eternaljoy: mplayer worked?
[01:49] <eternaljoy> !thanks > tekteen
[01:49] <nightrid3r> djeik: probably ubuntu not recognising your sata controler
[01:49] <h4mx0r> gunspoja: umm think you have to format the mbr (master boot record) then repair it with whatever other os or boot loader you use
[01:49] <lolcakes> echo_: sounds like the archive is damaged?
[01:49] <tekteen> eternaljoy user !helpersnack
[01:49] <cinco29> i wanna see how many can i bring over to the light side and leave windowz the darkside
[01:49] <eternaljoy> tekteen: yes, cheers big ears :-)
[01:49] <eternaljoy> !helpersnack
[01:49] <pyrophelia> pio_, you know what, I have learned that I dislike this program.  install alsamixer :)
[01:49] <echo_> lolcakes, no, as it is fine via Windows.
[01:50] <djeik> nightrid3r: hmm okay, the drives show up in cfdisk... so the basic drivers seem to be working at least. is that not good enough for ubuntu?
[01:50] <cinco29> winscp is for ubuntu?
[01:50] <tekteen> eternaljoy: thanks tells me not to thank the bot
[01:50] <eternaljoy> !helpersnack | tekteen
[01:50] <lolcakes> ehco_: you you have not installed unrar
[01:50] <gunspoja> h4mx0r, actually I'd be quite happy to use grub, I don't really mind
[01:50] <pio_> pyrophelia, i checked Microphone Capture and Capture
[01:50] <lolcakes> *or
[01:50] <eternaljoy> tekteen: :-)
[01:50] <djeik> nightrid3r: so I possibly need chipset drivers?
[01:50] <pio_> pyrophelia, i ahve alsamixer installed
[01:50] <pio_> have*
[01:50] <echo_> lolcakes, I have installed Unrar.
[01:50] <bastid_raZor> cinco29; no, it will be used on the xp/vista and will be able to access your box.
[01:50] <h4mx0r> cinco29: do you and your brother share the same network? if so why not try nfs its faster. Or if its remote stuff ssh is nice if you set the encryption keys right
[01:50] <zmanning_> my text all of a sudden has huge spacing like in pdfs and certain apps! all i did was reduce the font size in Appearance.  any idea what this could be?
[01:50] <pyrophelia> pio_, use that to select your mic and turn the volume up.  it's a little bit more flexible than this app
[01:50] <cinco29> we in different states
[01:50] <eternaljoy> !helpersnack | bastid_raZor
[01:51] <lolcakes> ehco_: the free or nonfree version? the nonfree version can handle more archives
[01:51] <nightrid3r> djeik: yes but i have no idea how to fix that
[01:51] <pyrophelia> pio_, arg
[01:51] <djeik> nightrid3r: alright, thanks a lot
[01:51] <pyrophelia> ok I lied
[01:51] <pyrophelia> they changed it on me
[01:51] <Sylphid> h4mx0r, i cant remember... what is the command to search all the man pages?
[01:51] <pyrophelia> it not routes to pulse :x
[01:51] <pio_> pyrophelia, when i open, it just show speakers volume
[01:51] <pyrophelia> pio_, yea sorry about that, they changed that option in 8.10
[01:51] <echo_> lolcakes, I installed the free version.
[01:51] <vigo> Sylphid: man man
[01:51] <pyrophelia> pio_, 1 sec
[01:52] <lolcakes> echo_: try the nonfree version
[01:52] <bastid_raZor> !botabuse | eternaljoy
[01:52] <eternaljoy> !botabuse | bastid_raZor
[01:52] <h4mx0r> gunspoja: did you just reinstall grub or make any boot changes with which systems you have? if so you might need to check the config files and make sure they are pointed at the right sections of the hard drive
[01:52] <cinco29> what about gftp??
[01:52] <lolcakes> imo, the best gui ftp client for nix is FileZilla
[01:53] <pio_> pyrophelia, ok
[01:53] <h4mx0r> cinco29: different daemon and different performance specs.
[01:53] <echo_> lolcakes, after installing the non-free version 'File Roller' is now seeing it properly.
[01:53] <h4mx0r> lolcakes: yeah filezilla is very nice from what I've tried
[01:53] <cinco29> oh ok
[01:53] <eseven73> cinco29: you really need ssh server if its going to be going outside your local network
[01:53] <lolcakes> echo_: that sounds promising. is it working?
[01:53] <cinco29> okay
[01:53] <cinco29> im looking for that one right now
[01:54] <h4mx0r> eseven73: not really, but ftp is usually for sharing with lots of random people
[01:54] <eseven73> ftp isnt secure though
[01:54] <echo_> lolcakes, it is!
[01:54] <echo_> Thanks.
[01:54] <eQuk> ftp cant be very secure
[01:54] <lolcakes> echo_: welcome :)
[01:54] <h4mx0r> eseven73: torrenting > ftp bandwidth wise
[01:54] <vigo> eseven73 is absolutely correct, use SSH
[01:54] <eQuk> *cant be
[01:55] <cinco29> ok
[01:55] <eQuk> *can
[01:55] <eQuk> whay cant i type
[01:55] <eQuk> dammit..
[01:55] <fyrmedic> How do I install packages from the repo's without internet access on the target machine?
[01:55] <kinja-sheep> What's the good application that'll colorize the terminal?
[01:55] <tester_> Okay, so I have gksudo working without prompt from the terminal(NOPASSWORD in sudoer), yeah it is the worst idea ever, but I need this. But now wen I run the same command via shell script it still asking for password and a prompt comes up, is there some I need to do in the script?
[01:55] <nightrid3r> fyrmedic: apt-oncd
[01:55] <pyrophelia> pio_, do you have the capture tab present in your Volume control window?
[01:56] <kinja-sheep> tester_: Just a thought.  Try removing sudo from your script.
[01:56] <pio_> pyrophelia, Recording Tab
[01:56] <kinja-sheep> tester_: It is likely that it didn't ask you for the password in first place because of 15-minutes window.
[01:56] <pyrophelia> pio_, yea, go to preferences and make sure it's checked.  it's between "Playback" and "switches" It seems that mic's are muted and input volume set to 0% by default
[01:57] <fyrmedic> nightrid3r; thanks I'll give it a try. Do you know if restricted hardware drivers are on it?
[01:57] <tester_> No still asking, but from terminal it works okay
[01:57] <tester_> so when I type gksudo myapp.exe, it works, but exact same from shell ask for promt
[01:57] <nightrid3r> fyrmedic: it will have whatever you want on them
[01:57] <fyrmedic> thanks.
[01:57] <cinco29> the name of the proggy im looking for is called,... ssh server?
[01:58] <nightrid3r> cinco29: yes
[01:58] <kinja-sheep> cinco29: What are you trying to do?
[01:58] <rww> !info ssh-server | cinco29
[01:58] <pio_> pyrophelia, hmm, i unmute it. When I reopen the app it's muted again :S
[01:58] <nightrid3r> cinco29: try sshd
[01:58] <kinja-sheep> !info openssh-server | cinco29
[01:58] <kinja-sheep> :O
[01:58] <eseven73> cinco29: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=536
[01:58] <rww> kinja-sheep: there we go. I always forget the "open" :O
[01:59] <cinco29> thank you
[01:59] <dmi3on> hi all, i dont know exactly what i need and how to do it i have at work win vista and home ubuntu how do i set up ubuntu so i can control vista at office (in office computer just connect to a router no server)
[01:59] <kinja-sheep> rww: Any chance you know a nice package that will colorize the ascii output in the terminal?
[02:00] <tester_> Why, why why, it works from terminal and not from shell script... I am newbie that is why for sure....but why...
[02:00] <rww> kinja-sheep: output from an ssh session, or in general? because stuff like ls is colorized automatically for me...
[02:00] <kinja-sheep> !info tsclient | dmi3on
[02:00] <kinja-sheep> Bla.  Wrong one.
[02:00] <kinja-sheep> rww: General.  Take a look at supercat. ;)
[02:01] <vigo> kinja-sheep: remote dektop thingy?
[02:01] <eseven73> dmi3on: tightvnc maybe (assuming you or your boss will open the port for the work computer)
[02:01] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: you have to configure your router to forward the ports to your windows pc
[02:01] <eseven73> which i think is 5900-5901
[02:01] <dmi3on> :(
[02:01] <eQuk> ignor me, testing colours
[02:01] <tester_> Why, why why, it works from terminal and not from shell script... I am newbie that is why for sure....but why...
[02:01] <h4mx0r> kinja-Sheep umm the coloring is set in your .bashrc perhaps you edited it some how
[02:02] <kinja-sheep> vigo: for dmi3on.  Not you.
[02:02] <pyrophelia> pio_, mine seems to record with or without it so I'm not sure :x
[02:02] <dmi3on> is there any way to do it with out configuring router ?>
[02:02] <vigo> Okay
[02:02] <pyrophelia> pio_, ask your question again maybe somebody with a bit more xp can help :(
[02:02] <h4mx0r> tester_: ?
[02:02] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: no
[02:02] <eseven73> dmi3on: nope
[02:02] <tester_> Okay, so I have gksudo working without prompt from the terminal(NOPASSWORD in sudoer), yeah it is the worst idea ever, but I need this. But now wen I run the same command via shell script it still asking for password and a prompt comes up, is there some I need to do in the script?
[02:02] <kinja-sheep> rww: Yes, the color worked for ls -al, because of the profile/bashrc.  However, I'm looking for much more colors.  htop (better than ps).... and... You know.  Let me find you a link.
[02:03] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: you can do a reverse connection
[02:03] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: unless there is a vpn server
[02:03] <pio_> pyrophelia, it almost worked
[02:03] <dmi3on> its just big router for like 16 computers
[02:03] <Jpdota> hey i'm in intrepid and i'm thinking about upgrading my laptop's hard drive, what's a good way to get info about the connection my laptop uses to the hard drive?
[02:03] <kinja-sheep> rww: Example in Gentoo's using supercat -- http://supercat.nosredna.net/html-example-spc.html
[02:03] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: I'd suggest nx or vnc reverse connection to home
[02:04] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: its not a very good fix but would give you a graphical remote desktop
[02:04] <dmi3on> what it means reverse connection ?
[02:04] <tester_> some suggest me something as well, I am a good person too, I do go to church ever now and then
[02:05] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: it means the system behind the firewall connects outside to the other system
[02:05] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: rather than you connecting into the server the server connects to the client
[02:05] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: the most important question is "will your boss allow this"
[02:05] <lolcakes> tester_: any reason why you need to use gksudo?
[02:06] <lolcakes> tester_: why not normal sudo?
[02:06] <tester_> it is a gui app
[02:06]  * odium1 puzzled
[02:06] <dmi3on> yes, just i dont want touch router because if some thing will stop working i will be first who to blame :)
[02:06] <quinten> hey, i had network-manager installed. i just removed it and i set up the network using /etc/networks/interfaces
[02:06] <tester_> quinten you are hardcore now
[02:06] <dmi3on> so i need do it with out touching router
[02:06] <lolcakes> tester_: but you're running it from a shell script? you can use normal sudo in the shell script, it doesnt matter what type of app it is
[02:06] <quinten> i want to make sure that the networks start up before a particular service. anything else i need to check?
[02:06] <pio_> I have a problem with my built-in mic. I use intrepid on Asus f3jc laptop. The input volume it's too low, i badly hear my voice
[02:07] <tester_> what is gksudo for then
[02:07] <h4mx0r> pio_: have you turned it up with alsamixer?
[02:07] <lolcakes> tester_: a graphical interface for sudo
[02:07] <tester_> please ignore, I will check online
[02:07] <tester_> wow, thats it
[02:07] <pio_> h4mx0r, yes
[02:07] <tester_> I thought it had something to do with gdm/x
[02:07] <lolcakes> tester_: otherwise little terminals would pop up when you try and make system changes with gui apps
[02:07] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: then the reverse thing is the way to go
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[02:08] <lolcakes> lol
[02:08] <lolcakes> then im completely wrong
[02:08] <pio_> h4mx0r, with the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get it to work
[02:08] <TraceRoute> yay streaming media to xbox is even easier than on windows =)
[02:08] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, how hard is to set up nx or vnc reverse to set up ? i need to run one only one program in vista from ubuntu thats all
[02:08] <tester_> jackPsparrow thanks
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:08] <quinten> in old versions of debian, usually networks would all be up well before the graphical desktop. i don't want to break anything, but i need that to be the case for my setup
[02:08] <tester_> So back to my question then, how to run gksudo from a shell command or desktop shortcut
[02:08] <quinten> i'm assuming that was changed to make a faster bootup
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !startup
[02:08] <rootid> just use the Package Manager
[02:09] <Rohan_SM> Hello ppl How do I update this OS ? I just installed Ubuntu Ibex
[02:09] <tester_> All I want is a user should be able to run the app without having to type password
[02:09] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: try this http://www.nomachine.com/ just set the vista machine as server and have it connect out to you every 10-20  minutes or so then you run the client at home and get a nicely compressed remote desktop
[02:09] <tester_> Rohan, synaptic
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> ubottu, Getting a script to run at boot before login: Put it in you ~/.bashrc. Something like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin ...
[02:09] <cinco29> lmfao
[02:09] <shiloh7> Vista?????? didnt think that word was allowed in here
[02:10] <lolcakes> tester_: "Why is it an issue? Well, to be perfectly honest, most of the time it isn't.". Id just run with sudo unless its causing problems
[02:10] <lolcakes> if it works
[02:10] <tester_> or apt-get if you are hardcorecakes, it does not
[02:10] <tester_> I tried and I got an error
[02:10] <lolcakes> ohk
[02:10] <Rohan_SM> Pardon me but I dont understand how to pick important updates of ubuntu. Do I need to mark them manuly or they will be auto marked ?
[02:10] <pio_> h4mx0r, with the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get it to work. Using alsamixer i can hear a bit of recorded sound with my mic.
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tester add the app/command to sudoers
[02:10] <rootid> auto
[02:11] <tester_> sparrow I did, NoPASSWORD:ALL
[02:11] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: use synaptic
[02:11] <shiloh7> apt-get isnt hard core, its linux
[02:11] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, thx  how save is it ?
[02:11] <tester_> shiloh, why do that when there is a GUI
[02:11] <lolcakes> shiloh7: no, its debian package management. linux is the kernel
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> lolcakes, Dont run gui apps with sudo, it will come back and bite you eventually
[02:11] <Rohan_SM> Yes I have opened it
[02:11] <quinten> alternatively, how can i make a service depend on another one? i'm not that familiar with upstart...
[02:11] <tester_> Sparrow, it already did bite me
[02:11] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: now klick on mark updates
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> tester_, You dont want to set it like that for all apps.
[02:12] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: then klick apply
[02:12] <shiloh7> tester, because i like using terminal
[02:12] <snarkster> !dualboot
[02:12] <Etherael> hey guys, does anyone know how to assign some labelling system to your workspaces to keep track of it, like mentally I use a workspace for coding, a workspace for recreation, workspace for blahblah, is there anyway to actually get them labelled this way so you can quick switch to workspaces based on what you're looking for rather than scrolling through them and seeing what's running and figuring it out from there or trying to memorise wh
[02:12] <Etherael> at number is what?
[02:13] <Rohan_SM> I clicked mark updates couple of times but apply button is still greyed
[02:13] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: the only problem is if your ip changes but if on the client side at home you install this other app it reports to a static site online what your ip is so the server connects to that server to see where you are
[02:13] <pio_> With the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get my microphone to work. Using alsamixer i can hear a bit of recorded sound with my mic, but it's too low. I use intrepid on a Asus f3jc laptop, any ideas??
[02:13] <tester_> Sparrow I do
[02:13] <lolcakes> Etherael: yes, right click->preferences and give them names
[02:13] <tester_> security is no concern for me
[02:13] <tester_> it is either this, or enabling root account login
[02:14] <shiloh7> pio_, did you use mic boost in alsa?
[02:14] <xMopx> Would backing up a Ubuntu partition with partimage then restoring it later on, work?
[02:14] <Etherael> lolcakes, When I right click prefs all I get the option for is "columns and rows"
[02:14] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, what other application ?
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> tester_, You just want all users to be able to install apps? With synaptic
[02:14] <tester_> xMopx, try clonezilla
[02:14] <Etherael> if you mean in the workspace switcher at the top
[02:14] <pio_> shiloh7, no
[02:14] <xMopx> tester_: Would it work better? Or would partimage not work?
[02:14] <shiloh7> pio_, there in options, there is a mic boost options, 20db
[02:14] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: or try this one http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-update-ubuntu-linux-softwares/
[02:14] <tester_> Sparrow, i just want them to be able to run my application (which access some restricted files), without requiriung to type password or anything
[02:15] <shiloh7> i have to use it myself for teamspeak, etc
[02:15] <tester_> xMopX, clonezilla is just easier
[02:15] <lolcakes> Etherael: yes, right click a workspace->preferences, then "Workspace Switcher Preferences" comes up and under "Workspace Names" you can name them (assuming you're using 8.04 or 8.10, I dunno about other versions)
[02:15] <tester_> I use it a lot
[02:15] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: well I read this nx guide and it mentioned a place.. trying to find it
[02:15] <Rohan_SM> Thanks a lot I ll check that
[02:15] <Etherael> lolcakes, the task switcher only lets me pick how many columns and rows I want.
[02:15] <xMopx> Ah. I dont have a problem with difficulty, but thanks, Its good to know it should work, lol
[02:15] <pio_> shiloh7, ill try that
[02:15] <Wicked> !mp3
[02:16] <lolcakes> Etherael: thats odd, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:16] <Wicked> !player
[02:16] <Etherael> lol: 8.10
[02:16] <mysticdarkhack> hello all
[02:16] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, thank you very much
[02:16] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: try no-ip.com that will give you a dns name to use instead of an ip
[02:16] <kylockwood> hey, i lost sound with flash on ubuntu 64, using flash 64bit alpha with iceweasel
[02:16] <Etherael> help about on workspace switcher says ; workspace switcher 2.24.1 copyright redhat
[02:16] <mysticdarkhack> I need advice on where to put my swap partition. Beginning or end?
[02:16] <pio_> shiloh7, i couldn't locate any boot option
[02:17] <tester_> okay, I love shell commands, command line, I hate GUIs, and have my linux system on a 386 CPU. Will I get some help now :-)
[02:17] <lolcakes> Etherael: Well, I dont know whats going on, it has that option on mine
[02:17] <mysticdarkhack> and also linux filesystem. Beginning or end?
[02:17] <danc3> mysticdarkhack: doesn't matter
[02:17] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: its not the one I was recommended to use but it gets the job done
[02:17] <snarkster> i just cant get ubuntu to load. i installed windows first on its own hard drive, then ubuntu on its on drive, but now just windows comes up.
[02:17] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, will you be here tomorrow so i can ask you more questions ?
[02:17] <trojatra> Anyone have an M-Audio Fast Track working with Ubuntu?
[02:17] <tonsofpcs> how can i tell if my kernel sees my display as a framebuffer device?
[02:17] <eseven73> lol tester_
[02:17] <Etherael> lolcakes, when you right click does it have an about option? is it still the redhat one?
[02:17] <marine>  is this update mandatory acpi-support
[02:18] <lolcakes> Etherael: yup, its 2.21.1 copyright 2001-2002 (lol) redhat
[02:18] <lolcakes> 24*
[02:18] <tester_> Did you guys see, I HATE GUIs, I do everything from command line
[02:18] <tester_> now help me
[02:18] <nightrid3r> snarkster: you have to install grub on the windows drive
[02:18] <Etherael> hrm, that's actually older than my version
[02:18] <tonsofpcs> tester_: screen -U
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > tester_
[02:18] <Etherael> maybe it got removed? why would they do that? :/
[02:18] <lolcakes> I dunno :(
[02:18] <shiloh7> pio_, it isnt a boot option, double click the volum icon
[02:18] <shiloh7> alsa pops up
[02:18] <Wicked> !player > Wicked
[02:18] <mysticdarkhack> danc3, I see and won't it effect or loose any advantage?
[02:18] <tester_> You know what, windows is so much better, no
[02:19] <danc3> mysticdarkhack: correct
[02:19] <Rohan_SM> This os is just incredibly fast :D
[02:19] <node357> tester_, I thought you said you hated GUI
[02:19] <tester_> Sparrow, stopping sending your minion to attack me
[02:19] <shiloh7> pio_, under edit>preferences, there is a selectable box for mic boost
[02:19] <tester_> well yeah I did, I use cmd shell
[02:19] <tester_> like dir and stuff
[02:19] <node357> oh okay
[02:19] <snarkster> nightrid3r: oh? i didnt know that
[02:19] <tester_> more fun then explorer anyways
[02:19] <nightrid3r> snarkster: common mistake
[02:20] <shiloh7> pio_, then under the switches tab, you have to select it to be enabled
[02:20] <mysticdarkhack> danc3, well I just had my swap to be end and filesystem to be beginning. So, you think it all good right?
[02:20] <danc3> mysticdarkhack: yes
[02:20] <lolcakes> tester_: so I guess you program in COBOL and use ed as an editor?
[02:20] <gizmo> can i ask how to set off the invite mode using xhat?
[02:20] <tester_> ASM
[02:20] <tester_> and 1 and 0 is all I do
[02:20] <lolcakes> lol

[02:27] <lolcakes> tester_: try converting a video with mecoder then come back and tell me you love the cmd line
[02:27] <lolcakes> mencoder*
[02:27] <redvamp128> should kick over to the profile manager ( I am also running a second config of FF 3.2
[02:27] <nightrid3r> lolcakes: that should cure him :)
[02:28] <tester_> Flannel, yes, I am trying to gte gksduo work from a shell script(withput requiring the prompt for password), I have modified the sudoers with NoPASSWd, and from terminal gksude wors as expected
[02:28] <lolcakes> vanax: you can share a folder on windows using normal methods, then type "smb://windowsserver/share" into nautilus to access it
[02:28] <redvamp128> also running it in Wine as well
[02:28] <tester_> but form script it asks for password
[02:28] <Flannel> tester_: Try using sudo instead.
[02:28] <Reilithion> I cannot get Magic SysRq to work.
[02:29] <Wicked> !beep
[02:29] <Wicked> !beepmediaplayer
[02:29] <Wicked> !bmp
[02:29] <Wicked> stupid bot!
[02:29] <lolcakes> !media
[02:29] <redvamp128> My question -- is does anyone else have issues with Brasero -- it goes to burn an image -- but then kicks out the cd-- Gnome bake says (" Yes no problem") and burns it just fine... even used the .deb of the new version.. still no fix.
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !botabuse > wicked
[02:29] <Rohan_SM> Guys is it possible to run my photoshop CS3 and 3DMax on this ?
[02:29] <Jams44> Also, how do i change the login out of kde back to whatever the gnome default was? i changed it when i installed kubuntu onto ubuntu but i dont like it
[02:29] <lolcakes> Rohan_SM: maybe, with wine. no guarantees, best use GIMP and blender or something
[02:29] <Reilithion> cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq outputs 1.  But Magic SysRq does not seem to have any effect.
[02:29] <Flannel> Rohan_SM: You'd have more luck talking to the wine people in #winehq, and also check out their app DB
[02:30] <tester_> Flannel, that is not a good idea, to use Sudo where gksude shoudl be used, Sparrow can make his minion convey this to you
[02:30] <Wicked> so whats the beep media player package called in ubuntu?
[02:30] <mysticdarkhack> hey tester_ was fedora able to use the two gpu in vaio z?
[02:30] <tester_> !gksudo
[02:30] <Flannel> tester_: You just said "a script" you didn't mention anything about what said script is doing.
[02:30] <Wicked> i only see one labled experimental
[02:30] <Wicked> bmpx                                                                                - Beep Media Player eXperimental
[02:30] <lolcakes> Wicked: search for "beep media" in synaptic
[02:30] <Rohan_SM> I know GIMP its good but I paid for my Copy of Photoshop and its support etc. :D
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> tester_, He knows the difference
[02:30] <redvamp128> andrew_:  did that new profile work?
[02:30] <tester_> mystic, I did not check, it came up fine, and all my porn plays aokay
[02:31] <tester_> so that part i can confirm, video okay, audio okay
[02:31] <lolcakes> Rohan_SM: then run it on windows? I doubt theyll support it running on wine
[02:31] <vanax> isnt there just an easy way to mount the hard drive as is and read the files off it?
[02:31] <mysticdarkhack> porn, geez
[02:31] <mysticdarkhack> lol
[02:31] <Wicked> lolcakes, not seeing it
[02:31] <Flannel> lolcakes: When helping, please be helpful.
[02:31] <lolcakes> vanax: not across the network? smb is the closest thing if its windows->linux
[02:31] <dubi> hello
[02:31] <tester_> vanax mountmanager or ntfs configuration tool
[02:31] <redvamp128> Does anyone else have the issue of 8.04 and Brasero
[02:31] <DVA5912> How well does ubuntu support dual monitors? I am on windows and im looking to go to ubuntu but i just spent fifty dollars on a new graphics card for the TV out and dual screen support and would like not to loose it
[02:31] <eseven73> too much info tester_
[02:31] <pio_> shiloh7,  noo
[02:31] <Flannel> Rohan_SM: If wine won't run it, you can always run windows in a VM (seamlessly) to use those programs.
[02:31] <dubi> can anyone help me? why does gpaint dont have an undo option?
[02:31] <pio_> shiloh7,  microhone boost not present, it's a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220787
[02:32] <DVA5912> the card is an EVGA E-GeForce 7200 GS
[02:32] <vanax> nono not on the network, like i just reformatted my windows PC and put ubuntu on it, and i had another 320gb hd that i put all my files on, its my other hard drive
[02:32] <mysticdarkhack> anyone know if thinkfinger will work on ubuntu vaio z?
[02:32] <pio_> shiloh7, any other way to boost the mic??
[02:32] <shiloh7> pio_, what version ubuntu are you using?
[02:32] <lolcakes> DVA5912: the closed source nvidia drivers have an excellent settings manager that can do all that for you
[02:32] <redvamp128> I think if you run the - restricted drivers - for your video card -- Nvidia supports Dual Monitors (unsure of Ati)
[02:32] <vanax> i jsut plugged it in, and ubuntu wont let me read the files
[02:32] <Reilithion> DVA5912: I am using dual monitors under Ubuntu right now.
[02:32] <pio_> shiloh7,  inprepid,
[02:32] <Flannel> mysticdarkhack: You'll have to check the thinkfinger documentation (and your fingerprint reader model/etc) to see if its supported.
[02:32] <pio_> also have the bug
[02:32] <shiloh7> pio_, 8.10?
[02:32] <andrew_> thank you so much for ur help, my firefox is back
[02:32] <illuminata> http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184&nav=menu1362_2 apparently your os is causing quite a bit of grief for this wisconsin woman. i hope you respond accordingly
[02:32] <nightrid3r> DVA5912: nvidia support is very good in ubuntu so it should work
[02:32] <illuminata> she's sulking in #gentoo.et, i'll be leaving
[02:33] <DVA5912> lolcakes: closed source? As in from the manufacturer
[02:33] <Reilithion> DVA5912: You may have to edit your xorg.conf file manually, though.
[02:33] <lolcakes> DVA5912: yes, from their website, or "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers"
[02:33] <DVA5912> Reilithion: How does it looks
[02:33] <pio_> shiloh7, yes, 8.10
[02:33] <shiloh7> pio_, im using 8.04 LTS< good to know about that bug in 8.10
[02:34] <pio_> shiloh7, it appear in this version too
[02:34] <tester_> I will try to be succinct, I modified sudoer, so that no password is required when I use sudo or gksude from command line. Now when I run the same command gksude "followed_by_my_app_name" I get the propmt for password. I do not want that. All  my does is, read and modify dhcp.conf, as well some other restricted files
[02:34] <mysticdarkhack> Flannel, you know another alternative finger reader for ubuntu?
[02:34] <DVA5912> Cool thanks lolcakes and Reilithion. Now should my internet be faster under ubuntu? its going crazy in windows
[02:34] <Reilithion> DVA5912: It looks very nice.  I did have some trouble setting it up initially, and I still cannot move windows from one screen to the other (due to the way I've set it up.  This should become possible once RandR 1.4 is released).
[02:34] <tester_> I am doing this to automate some taks I do for clonezilla
[02:34] <shiloh7> pio_, i dont have any other suggestions
[02:34] <Rohan_SM> Too bad windows is nothing in comparison of this. I mean its really fast. I tried this at my friend some blue desktop and black skin etc. and its working very nicely as per him. So I thought of giving it a try. Indeed it switch windows programs etc. at incredible speed.
[02:34] <lolcakes> DVA5912: that almost entirely depends on the speed of your connection, not the OS. try it and see
[02:34] <TheFunkbomb> hey, does anyone have any issues with playing .avi files in VLC player?  I have the w32 codecs
[02:35] <Flannel> mysticdarkhack: Is it not supported?  As far as I know, thinkfinger is the defacto fingerprint software.  And it isn't just for thinkpads.  You really should check to see if yours is supported.
[02:35] <redvamp128> So any reason why Brasero bums out but Gnomebake works without issue>? 8.04 and Brasero 0.7.1 or 0.8.4
[02:35] <vanax> are there any other channels where i can get some help?
[02:35] <wcdl> is anyone could run photoshop under wine
[02:35] <DVA5912> Cool looks promising. Now i can install this first into windows to test right?
[02:35] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: VLC has its own codecs, the w32 codecs are for mplayer
[02:35] <usser> wcdl: cs2 worked just fine for me
[02:35] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, okay, do you have any idea why they won't play in VLC?
[02:35] <mysticdarkhack> Flannel, I haven't read it yet but just wanted to know in case if it doesn't
[02:35] <wcdl> usser: normal install?
[02:35] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: theres probably 32767 reasons, what error is it giving you?
[02:36] <shiloh7> TheFunkbomb, do they play in SM player?
[02:36] <usser> wcdl: yea on latest wine you dont need to do anything special
[02:36] <wcdl> and about cs3?
[02:36] <Flannel> tester_: Whats wrong with just calling that script with sudo?  If the only thing the script does is modify files, `sudo script` should work just fine, without any security issues.  Also, sudo will work fine for that usage as well.
[02:36] <usser> wcdl: cs3 is not supported
[02:36] <wcdl> thanks
[02:36] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, no error.  just no movement.
[02:36] <wcdl> wich wine ?
[02:36] <TheFunkbomb> shiloh7, yes, they play in Firefox and the default movie player
[02:36] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: is it just for avi, or for all video?
[02:36] <Flannel> tester_: Also, you really shouldn't remove the password for all of your programs.  You can, however, remove the password requirement for that particular script rather easily.
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> wcdl, Check the appdb.. kinda lame or ask in Wine hw or see the virtual solutions available
[02:36] <usser> wcdl: 1.1.12 is the latest i believe
[02:36] <tester_> Flannel, I am hoping to create a shortcut on desktop, or put a script on the desktop, when someone clicks on it, want it to run
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> winehq
[02:36] <ConstantineXVI> is there a reason that ubuntu attempts to run (windows) autorun stuff?
[02:36] <redvamp128> wcdl:  try asking it in #winehq
[02:36] <pio_> shiloh7,  :(, thanks
[02:36] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, wmvs play fine
[02:36] <jp_sf> is there a daily and or weekly build for Ubuntu (like Debian for instance)?
[02:37] <Reilithion> DVA5912: I would suggest running from the LiveCD.  It will allow you to test Ubuntu a bit without having to modify anything on your hard drive.
[02:37] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, I haven't tried mpgs
[02:37] <redvamp128> THough 1.1.13 should be out this friday
[02:37] <shiloh7> TheFunkbomb, i had some issues with VLC this last go around to, i just got rid of it and am using SM player, i like it better
[02:37] <Flannel> tester_: That's fine.  You can make the shortcut include the sudo stuff very easily.
[02:37] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: not sure whats going on then, aside form making sure you're using the latest VLC, you could try smplayer. its less broken
[02:37] <redvamp128> if they keep the current release schedule (it has been about 2 weeks )
[02:37] <Vantrax> jp_sf, Ubuntu goes by 6 monthly builds
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> jp_sf, no roilling releases except for jaunty which is not ready
[02:37] <tester_> Flannel, you are god that is all I want man
[02:37] <redvamp128> wine is generally on a 2 week release schedule
[02:37] <TheFunkbomb> shiloh7, lolcakes, thanks
[02:38] <DVA5912> lolcakes: this doesnt look prommising: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/evga-e-geforce-7200-gs-wont-work-with-the-nvidia-drivers-567849/
[02:38] <shiloh7> lolcakes, yeah i love sm player  :)
[02:38] <tester_> right now my script is just this  gksudo /home/tesg3/ReadWrite
[02:38] <mysticdarkhack> well I'm off now yall,
[02:38] <mysticdarkhack> thanks for the help
[02:38] <TheFunkbomb> I'll check out sm player.  is it in the stock repositories?
[02:38] <cs_student> When ubuntu freezes from a program is there a ctrl-alt-delete type method of terminating the program/
[02:38] <jp_sf> Jack_Sparrow: Ah ok I'm going to an installfest and I was wondering if I could have a weekly-build something instead of updating after the install
[02:38] <whacked> ok anyone have an idea what could cause this message "network cable unplugged" with windows xp, i am now connected with same computer on dual boot with ubuntu  ?
[02:38] <usser> wcdl: actually it appears that cs3 is also supported http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584 my apologies
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jp_sf, Stick with ibex and copy /var/cache/apt/archives after you do the updates on the first or see aptoncd
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd
[02:39] <tester_> whacked, r u kidding me, it means exactly what the message says
[02:39] <Gnea> cs_student: yeah, if that doesn't do it, alt-sysrq-k  should take out everything on tty7
[02:39] <whacked> ok so the answer is ?
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !attitude  > tester_
[02:39] <tester_> f'in cab;le is unplugged
[02:39] <sektor1952> has anyone had any issues recompiling the latest kernel?
[02:39] <Reilithion> DVA5912: I see.  Your card may yet work with an open-source driver.
[02:39] <lolcakes> DVA5912: thats from 2007, its 2009 (of course they still may not work, I dont know, I have an 8600GT)
[02:39] <user01> how do i open ms access databases in linux?
[02:39] <jp_sf> Jack_Sparrow: Ah great yes exactly what I'm looking for
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel > sektor1952
[02:39] <Gnea> cs_student: you might have a few remnant programs still running, best to check the process list
[02:40] <whacked> i am talking to you know using the same cable nic modem and router right now
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> jp_sf, all of your updates are in that folder or go the apt on cd route
[02:40] <lolcakes> Reilithion: the open source nvidia drievr is really bad, no 3d acceleration at all or xvideo
[02:40] <Gnea> whacked: is the clip on the network cable firmly attached on both ends?
[02:40] <hexidigital> hi folks. anyone know off hand what the max file size is for ext3?  I've read 2^32 but i'm trying to verify this.
[02:40] <sektor1952> Jack_sparrow: I know how to compile the kernel, but I am getting an error
[02:40] <tester_> I am sorry
[02:41] <sektor1952> that I can't seem to clear
[02:41] <tester_> right now my script is just this  gksudo /home/tesg3/ReadWrite
[02:41] <whacked> yes
[02:41] <wcdl> usser: i was asking to see if anyone has it already installed
[02:41] <Reilithion> lolcakes: Yeah, I know.  It's really too bad.
[02:41] <tester_> so how do make a shortcut
[02:41] <jp_sf> Jack_Sparrow: yes will do that thx
[02:41] <wcdl> but thanks anyway
[02:41] <whacked> I been using ubuntu for 2 weeks now on same cablee nic router modem
[02:41] <DVA5912> Cant hurt to try.....   If i could only get to the downloads page its notr loading at all
[02:41] <TheFunkbomb> I think maybe the avi issue was with the movie.  I just loaded up a movie I know that works and it goes fine
[02:41] <Gnea> tester_: add this as the first line:  #!/bin/sh
[02:41] <lolcakes> Reilithion: Its making me look at ATI cards as my next graphics card, its great how amd are releasing specifications
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> sektor1952, We dont support peoples efforts to compile their own kernel...  It works for all of the regulars that know how to do it
[02:41] <wcdl> i will try to install it now
[02:42] <jtaji> hexidigital: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
[02:42] <Gnea> whacked: did this problem just start occurring today?
[02:42] <Reilithion> lolcakes: I am using a Radeon X850.  It's not too bad.  It has some 3d accel, but lacks many features.  I couldn't run Planeshift, for instance, because multitexture support sucked.
[02:42] <whacked> it happen after installing ubuntu 8.10
[02:42] <hexidigital> jtaji:  i mostly ignore wiki links when looking for information, but i'll have a look.
[02:42] <hexidigital> thanks
[02:42] <lolcakes> Reilithion: yes, but due to specifications being available, it will get better a lot quicker than nouveau
[02:42] <whacked> i been running xp and ubuntu 7.10 for 18 months
[02:43] <tigerz> hi guys, I got a audio issue on jaunty. Am I in the right channel?
[02:43] <TheFunkbomb> I need to find a site where I can download a practice .mpg movie
[02:43] <tester_> Gnea I still get the password prompt
[02:43] <whacked> i just formatted the linux partition
[02:43] <Reilithion> lolcakes: R500-R700 chips may get a lot better, but the X850 uses an R420 chip, which AMD has not made any promises about.
[02:43] <Gnea> tester_: of course, you're using gksudo
[02:43] <BellinXFelon> hey how can i change permissions for my seagate external hard drive?
[02:43] <tester_> I have modified the sudoer file so that no password is asked
[02:43] <user01> are there any write drivers for mdb files?
[02:43] <tester_> Gnea, but from command line it works okay
[02:43] <tester_> no password is asked there
[02:43] <usser> tigerz: go to #ubuntu+1
[02:44] <jp_sf> whacked: yes it happens
[02:44] <tigerz> thx
[02:44] <Daphko> is the encrypt home directory function important !?
[02:44] <Gnea> whacked: are you using a different system to irc with?
[02:44] <giloth> good evenin' everyone
[02:44] <whacked> no
[02:44] <whacked> I am on same computer
[02:44] <Gnea> ...
[02:44] <whacked> had a dual boot for 18 monthas
[02:44] <whacked> and never a problem
[02:45] <Gnea> whacked: if you're connected now, then what exactly is the problem?
[02:45] <whacked> formatted my linux partition for a clean install of 8.10
[02:45] <whacked> no longer can connect on my windows though
[02:45] <Gnea> oh
[02:45] <wcdl> firefox is leaking too much memory how can i fix that, anyone??/?
[02:45] <Gnea> whacked: #windows can help you with that then
[02:45] <Reilithion> DVA5912: In summary, good support for your graphics card is not likely going to be easy to come by.  If you want hardware 3D accel under linux, either go beg nVidia to make better linux drivers or get a different graphics card -- preferably one based on one of the ATI R5xx-R7xx chips.
[02:46] <jp_sf> whacked: It looks like a driver problem in XP I have seen this problem with broadcom, I would suspect first the Bios, then I would suspect the eth0 not being properly shutdown, in any case if a bios solution doesn't solve it then reinstall the driver in XP
[02:46] <tester_> So gksudo I have to do something else then
[02:46] <tester_> since it is a gui based app I need to use gksudo
[02:46] <wcdl> and also the flash videos are too much slow ubuntu 8.10 flash 10
[02:46] <supCHOCO> Hey I have a problem playing Mp3's
[02:46] <wcdl> can someone help me
[02:46] <whacked> yes i think the nic is suspended somehow
[02:46] <tester_> wcdl, I use that and it works fine
[02:47] <nightrid3r> !mp3 | supCHOCO
[02:47] <whacked> i have reinstalled driver
[02:47] <whacked> have original cd
[02:47] <jp_sf> whacked: the latest one from the vendor ?
[02:47] <Gnea> whacked: again, please take it to #windows
[02:47] <whacked> i have it
[02:47] <Gnea> jp_sf: please, #windows
[02:47] <Rohan_SM> How do I become root and type commands in Ubuntu linux ? is that su or sudo ?
[02:47] <wcdl> tester_ : when u open a video on youtube..... can u watch it without stoping?
[02:47] <tester_> whacked, go to device manager, and from networks, u shud see your device there, does it say working there
[02:48] <Gnea> !ot
[02:48] <Reilithion> Rohan_SM: sudo su
[02:48] <whacked> network shows local are connection
[02:48] <Gnea> !sudo | Rohan_SM
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Reilithion, That is not the best way
[02:48] <abhi_cse> could any one help me hear plz
[02:48] <abhi_cse> http://pastebin.ca/1308705
[02:48] <jp_sf> Gnea: well not really I think the problem is that when Ubuntu stop it stops the eth0 when windows reboot the etho is not detected s the related question is there a way to shutdown a machine without shutting down eth0
[02:48] <abhi_cse> hey Jack_Sparrow
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Reilithion, Sudo SU:  Instead of sudo su please suggest sudo -i as properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell.
[02:48] <Rohan_SM> Thanks a lot
[02:49] <abhi_cse> captain Jack_Sparrow  i think
[02:49] <whacked> ok np
[02:49] <whacked> thank everyone
[02:49] <abhi_cse> any help hear plz http://pastebin.ca/1308705
[02:49] <Reilithion> Jack_Sparrow: Cool.  I was unaware of that flag.
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:49] <Gnea> jp_sf: well, i'm sure #windows will enjoy your theory
[02:49] <whacked> problem was coaused by installing 8.10
[02:49] <lolcakes> jp_sf: thats windows being crap, its impossible to restart a PC whilst keeping the network interface active (Im pretty sure anyway)
[02:49] <whacked> final point
[02:50] <Flannel> abhi_cse: There are better places for kernel homework help
[02:50] <abhi_cse> Flannel: Ty

[02:52] <luddite>  im in flux box on intrepid and want to change the gnome theme  - how do i open it from the command line instead of  >system / preferences / appearences ?
[02:52] <Reilithion> How can I get Magic SysRq working?  I have already added kernel.sysrq = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf
[02:53] <ReloaD> sorry Gnea
[02:53] <aedwards> im havin trouble with my computer readin drives or USB drives. what would cause this?
[02:53] <Gnea> luddite: gnome-control-center
[02:53] <dubi> Hello, can anyone tell me where the undo function is on gpaint. I cant undo a drawing... thanks
[02:53] <AndyIB> Anyone familiar with making the gHamachi script and the newer hamachi versions on 8.04?
[02:53] <AndyIB> work*
[02:53] <luddite> Gnea - that easy - thanks Sir
[02:53] <Gnea> luddite: cheers
[02:54] <ReloaD> !ask
[02:54] <Gnea> ReloaD: sorry for what?
[02:54] <tester_> gksudo from sscript.....
[02:54] <lolcakes> aedwards: define 'having trouble'
[02:55] <TheFunkbomb> So, if I have SMPlayer, do I need Mplayer or VLC at all?
[02:55] <Flannel> tester_: Don't use gksu, use sudo.  We already covered this.
[02:55] <Gnea> tester_: you keep saying that over and over, as if it's supposed to mean something... just state your problem in human-readable-format, please.
[02:55] <tester_> !gksdu
[02:55] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: SMPlayer uses mplayer afaik, and you wont need vlc
[02:55] <TheFunkbomb> okay
[02:55] <TheFunkbomb> thanks lolcakes
[02:55] <tester_> I will try to be succinct, I modified sudoer, so that no password is required when I use sudo or gksude from command line. Now when I run the same command gksude "followed_by_my_app_name" I get the propmt for password. I do not want that. All  my does is, read and modify dhcp.conf, as well some other restricted files
[02:55] <ReloaD> i didnt undesrtud wwwwwwhat you said
[02:55] <tester_> !gksudo
[02:55] <tester_> and flannl, my fail with sudo
[02:55] <Gnea> ReloaD: oh. open a terminal and type this:  id    do you see the word 'video' there anywhere?
[02:56] <Flannel> tester_: What?
[02:56] <tester_> fla, just running my app with sudo fails
[02:56] <user01> can i have someone at work save a mdb file in a certian format so i can edit it in openoffice?
[02:56] <ReloaD> noop Gnea
[02:56] <tester_> it is c#, gtk#
[02:57] <Flannel> tester_: Why are you using c# and gtk to change a few files?
[02:57] <lolcakes> user01: openoffice base cant open it>
[02:57] <lolcakes> *?
[02:57] <user01> lolcakes, it isnt opening it right now
[02:57] <Gnea> ReloaD: okay, then you need to change that:  System->Administration->Users and Groups  and add yourself to the Video group (you'll need to logout/login once you've done that for the change to take effect) you should be able to use your tv card then
[02:57] <tester_> Flanl, its is a big app, part of it is access some restricted files(dhcp conf and interfaces)
[02:57] <nightrid3r> user01: try to export the file as a CSV
[02:57] <lolcakes> user01: right. sorry, I have not played with oo.o base at all so I have no idea.
[02:58] <tester_> all I need to be able to do is use gksudo from a shell script/shortkut on my desktop
[02:58] <ReloaD> thak you very much Gnea
[02:58] <tester_> if that happens I would be so happy
[02:58] <Gnea> ReloaD: you're welcome
[02:59] <ryanhaigh> /j #gnome
[02:59] <AppleBoy> anyone know if the jaunty alpha2 supports mobo chipsets based on intel x58 ?
[02:59] <Gnea> AppleBoy: the people in #ubuntu+1 can answer that
[02:59] <nightrid3r> AppleBoy: #ubuntu+1
[03:00] <aedwards> well i cant get my CD rom to work on ubuntu and anytime i connect any kind of USB device to my PC it wont find it...
[03:00] <aedwards> i thought it might be becuz of my pc but it works on 8.04
[03:00] <h4mx0r> aedwards: do lsusb to see what usb devices are connected then do sudo lshw to see if any devices don't have drivers
[03:01] <Reilithion> Ok.  Magic SysRq.  I really would like to get it working.
[03:01] <h4mx0r> aedwards: it might have something to do with udev permissions because of power issues depending upon which version of ubuntu you are using
[03:01] <vanax> Looking for help with Mounting a NTFS Hard drive
[03:01] <h4mx0r> aedwards: or it might be faulty /etc/fstab having other things listed for cd/usb device in question
[03:01] <aedwards> well i had to turn ACPI off in BIOS just to get 8.10 to work on my pc...but i didnt on 8.04...
[03:01] <Gnea> Reilithion: press ctrl-alt-F1, then alt-sysrq-h
[03:01] <nightrid3r> !ntfs
[03:02] <dubi> Hello can anyone tell me of an alternative to gimp or gpaint?
[03:02] <nightrid3r> !ntfs | vanax
[03:02] <h4mx0r> aedwards: 8.04 has long term support if you want to stick with that. 8.10 is just some stable testing for the next long term release
[03:02] <Reilithion> Gnea: I presume you want me to switch to the first virtual console.  That has not worked for me since I configured X to use both of my video cards.
[03:02] <Gnea> !sysrq | Reilithion
[03:02] <aedwards> so it would be better to run 8.04 for now?
[03:03] <Reilithion> Yes.  I am aware of what it is.  I have tried this combination.  It does not appear to do anything.
[03:03] <Gnea> B didn't do anything?
[03:03] <Reilithion> That's right.
[03:03] <jp_sf> lolcakes: I have removed the symlink S35Networking from /etc/rc0.d and my eth0 stays on after the shutdown
[03:03] <CaptObvious> I'm having issues with init.d
[03:03] <Gnea> and you're on an officially built ubuntu kernel?
[03:03] <aedwards> y would i have to turn off ACPi on 8.10 but not on 8.04?
[03:03] <Reilithion> Gnea: Yes, I am.
[03:04] <lar50n> Can I make my resolution larger than the choices given in 'Screen Resolution'? Is this determined by monitor, video card, other?
[03:04] <CaptObvious> if I log in as root and run teamspeak-server it launches fine, however if it runs as part of init.d it craps out with: Database initialization error: EDatabaseError.Unable to Load /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0
[03:04] <jp_sf> lolcakes: I guess the guy left but would have been one solution for him while restarting it's window$
[03:04] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: I think he is pulling your chain how about you try ctrl alt backspace to reset the graphical display or do ctrl alt f2 for a terminal you can login and do sudo shutdown -h 0
[03:04] <CaptObvious> although /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 exists and is chmodded 777
[03:04] <CaptObvious> any ideas what's going wrong?
[03:05] <h4mx0r> CaptObvious: what user owns that file? do chown
[03:05] <CaptObvious> root root
[03:05] <CaptObvious> don't init.d tasks run as root?
[03:05] <Gnea> Reilithion: i'm having a very difficult time believing that...
[03:05] <Reilithion> h4mx0r: Ctrl-Alt-backspace does sometimes work.  If my system gets too frozen up, though, it will not.  Also, switching to virtual consoles no longer works for me, as I have mentioned.
[03:05] <h4mx0r> CaptObvious: well your sol I got no clue. What you trying to do again?
[03:05] <aedwards> ?
[03:05] <CaptObvious> launch a teamspeak server instance
[03:06] <CaptObvious> works fine if I run it manually with /usr/bin/teamspeak-server as root
[03:06] <Reilithion> Gnea: I can understand your skepticism.  If you throw commands at me, I will gladly reproduce their output for you.
[03:07] <nickname-0-> I ve just installed vsftpd on 8.04. I want to know if there is any way to limit the size of the FTP users' folders. thanx in advance
[03:07] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: ohh I had a similar issue it was an irq problem do to this wireless driver, when it boots try going into grub and pressing e so it lets you edit the statements then at end of kernel line where it says quiet splash put irq=poll or noirq something like that or maybe its noapic are you using an amd cpu?
[03:07] <Gnea> Reilithion: okay, open a terminal and run this:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[03:07] <Gnea> Reilithion: then:  alt-sysrq-h
[03:07] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: enter dmesg when it boots and check the old error messages to find what is the problem and fix it by blacklisting or reinstalling things
[03:07] <Gnea> Reilithion: does it just beep at you or did something happen?
[03:08] <Reilithion> Gnea: Nothing happens.  My terminal drops its Help menu.
[03:08] <Gnea> Reilithion: like this? SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot
[03:08] <tester_> Even desktop launcher does not works
[03:08] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: have you just installed this system or updated recently?
[03:09] <h4mx0r> tester_: dude what command are you trying to run in a desktop icon
[03:09] <Reilithion> Gnea: tail does not print any such line.
[03:09] <Reilithion> h4mx0r: I updated this system from 8.04 back in early November, I believe.
[03:10] <Reilithion> I have never before tried Magic SysRq, so I don't know if it ever worked for me..
[03:10] <Gnea> Reilithion: okay, it shouldn't do the help menu if you pressed the SysReq/PrintScreen key along with the left-alt key...
[03:10] <Reilithion> Left alt?  I'll try that.
[03:10] <Gnea> Reilithion: making sure that you press the left-alt key *first*
[03:11] <bonhoffer> i can't delete a file  -- from sudo  rm -f foo.mp3, i get  rm: cannot remove `foo.mp3': Read-only file system
[03:11] <bonhoffer> can't sudo chmod
[03:11] <BellinXFelon> can anyone tell me how to change permissions for a seagate external hard drive?
[03:11] <Harley^> Howdy :)
[03:11] <bonhoffer> in nautilus i can't move to trash
[03:12] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: then what are your problems exactly? I mean you've been using it for a while now
[03:12] <Nomexous> bonhoffer: You need to remount to volume with rw permissions
[03:12] <Reilithion> Gnea: I held left-alt, PrintScreen, and pressed H.  It brought up 4 "Save Screenshot" windows.  Which is weird, because I intentionally changed the "Save Screenshot" key combination to Ctrl-Printscreen.
[03:12] <Gnea> Reilithion: I see....
[03:12] <h4mx0r> bonhoffer: do sudo su and delete it as root with the force option -f
[03:12] <Nomexous> bonhoffer: I'm assuming it's some sort of detachable media?
[03:12] <letalis> bonhoffer: yeah its setup read only atm
[03:13] <bonhoffer> yes -- sansa media player
[03:13] <Gnea> Reilithion: if you reboot the system with only one monitor attached, can you drop to console then?
[03:13] <bonhoffer> h4mx0r, i tried the su and delete as root
[03:13] <Reilithion> Gnea: I am not sure.  I'm pretty certain, however, that I could drop to a console if I edit xorg.conf and remove reference to one of my video cards.
[03:14] <h4mx0r> BellinXfelon: format it.. use gparted
[03:14] <Wintervenom> How do I make Ubuntu always force-mount NTFS media that is inserted into the machine?
[03:14] <h4mx0r> BellinXfelon: well gparted can change most stuff without formatting.. just be sure to backup incase you accidentally mess something up
[03:14] <Gnea> Reilithion: better to just reboot and see what happens without modification of xorg.conf - could be a symptom of a bigger problem
[03:15] <lolcakes> Wintervenom: I dont think you can, I saw it was a feature in 9.04
[03:15] <AndyIB> Allright, dualboot, ASUS M2N32-SLi mb, haven't dug up the bios v. yet. Won't fire up 8.04 without Kernel Panic due to missing APIC, I turn off Adv. ACPI - APIC services in the BIOS and it boots smooth, but then windows won't boot. Any answers?
[03:15] <Reilithion> I'll do that then.  bbiab.
[03:15] <BellinXFelon> ok
[03:16] <tester_> h4mxr, I have created a GUI app, which lets a user add/modify/update clonezilla machines from the GUI, and it modifies some restricted files
[03:16] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: turn apic back on and use the kernel option noapic in grub?
[03:16] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, I do tht and the system freezes after about 20 min.
[03:16] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: /boot/grub/menu.lst change the kernel line to have noapic
[03:17] <lolcakes> I wonder how windows does it, you never need to play around with acpi and apic when booting that
[03:17] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: are you sure it is related?
[03:17] <h4mx0r> lolcakes: it automatically has it off in windows I think
[03:17] <AndyIB> I've tested it about 2 times with the noapic in the bootline and it froze every time.
[03:17] <pryodude> having trouble booting the new distro?
[03:17] <yuri_> anybody know a cli tool that will strip an html file of all html tags and leave only the text? I am using espeak with wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random but it reads the html tags... any ideas?
[03:18] <AndyIB> 3*
[03:18] <lar50n> so i want my resolution larger, run 'sudo lspci -vvnn' but i don't know how, what or if i can configure it to be more than 800x600
[03:18] <Nomexous> yuri_: Perhaps use w3m with the -dump option
[03:18] <lolcakes> yuri_: sed with a regex probably, dont ask me how though :P
[03:18] <pryodude> anyone having crc errors with the new distro?
[03:18] <yuri_> thanks guys will mess around
[03:19] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, It's not a major problem, but it's still annoying to have to enter bios every time I want to swap os
[03:19] <Gnea> !info html2text
[03:19] <Gnea> yuri_: ^^^
[03:19] <Nomexous> yuri_: w3m -dump www.google.com, for example
[03:19] <yuri_> im trying to create a daily alarm that will read a random wikipedia article to me using the synth
[03:19] <tester_> !gksudo
[03:19] <Gnea> yuri_: awesome :)
[03:19] <lar50n> that's cool yuri_
[03:19] <h4mx0r> pryodude: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[03:19] <kompi04> semarang
[03:20] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: I agree, what processor you using?
[03:20] <pryodude> anyone know a lot about kernel and crc errors?
[03:20] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, n AMD 64 3800+
[03:20] <h4mx0r> yuri_: use a cron job and festival with a text based browser
[03:20] <pryodude> that's not my problem
[03:20] <william_> i was wondering if there was a way to tell if samba is shareing out to the network
[03:21] <pryodude> I can install it but once it's installed I get crc errors when I try to boot
[03:21] <mdg> howdy!  How are you?
[03:21] <pryodude> I tried a different hard drive and that worked for a bit
[03:21] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, and before you ask, I'm not running the i686
[03:21] <pryodude> then it didn't and I get the same errors as before
[03:21] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: all I can say is check dmesg afterwards and google around
[03:21] <AndyIB> I men I'm not running the x64 >_>
[03:21] <AndyIB> mean*
[03:21] <AndyIB> this keyboard is killing me. sorry.
[03:21] <yuri_> h4mx0r: interesting
[03:22] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: good for you, higher benchmarks on things you actually use
[03:22] <pryodude> anyone?
[03:22] <zetheroo> How do I change the keyring password?
[03:22] <h4x0r> hello yuri
[03:22] <nightrid3r> !pastebin
[03:22] <AndyIB> I'll look around h4mx0r, thanks for trying.
[03:22] <Harley^> I have Ubuntu Studio installed and lsb_release gives the following information;  Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 Codename: hardy   IS it possible to UPGRADE to the 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope edition directly ? IF so, is the ISO image available for download ?
[03:22] <h4mx0r> yuri_: try getting some better voices for festival though default ones are lame. I would suggest links for the text browser
[03:23] <william_> is there anyone that knows alot about samba
[03:23] <h4mx0r> william_: I know enough to use nfs :)
[03:23] <wolv3> hi
[03:23] <william_> is there a way to tell if its shareing out to the network
[03:23] <wolv3> guy i need some help with xorg.conf
[03:23] <zetheroo> How do I change the keyring password?
[03:24] <hendrixski> How can I find out which file is being called when I type a command in the commandline?
[03:24] <yuri_> h4mx0r: thanks for the tips. the default british dude is quite annoying
[03:24] <dm_> gh
[03:24] <jtaji> hendrixski: 'which command'
[03:24] <h4mx0r> yuri_: got to be some sort of text browser reading setup for blind people somewhere try to find a good script
[03:24] <hendrixski> jtaji, lemme try that
[03:24] <nightrid3r> lar50n: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105040/
[03:25] <jtaji> zetheroo: apps > accessories > password and encryption keys... password tab
[03:25] <hendrixski> oh cool
[03:25] <h4mx0r> yuri_: there is a site I used before had hundreds of nice voices to use but my main system is down getting a new cpu fan :/
[03:25] <nightrid3r> lar50n: put that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:25] <hendrixski> jtaji, thanks :-)
[03:25] <zetheroo> jtaji: whats supposed to be there?
[03:25] <yuri_> h4mx0r: thats what google is for, right?
[03:25] <rmokhtar> help
[03:25] <jtaji> zetheroo: I have an entry "Unlock password for default keyring"
[03:26] <Gnea> !ask | rmokhtar
[03:26] <rmokhtar> thank you
[03:26] <zetheroo> jtaji: not here ... this is Ubuntu Hardy
[03:26] <tester_> Yeah, my app fails with sudo alone
[03:26] <AceBlade2581> What are the advantages of using x64 over x86?
[03:26] <tester_> need to figure out gksude from a shell script, and no password prompt, as nopaswd in sudoer is not helping me in this
[03:27] <rmokhtar> I just messed up my audio. I had a problem, I was trying to use Livestation and Firefox simultaneously, but whichever one starts first, hogs the audio output
[03:27] <rmokhtar> now I can't hear a thing
[03:27] <jtaji> zetheroo: you could delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring , then you'll be prompted for the password again next time
[03:27] <hendrixski> AceBlade2581, x64?   you mean x86-64-bit?
[03:27] <tester_> Ace, more memory for your OS and programs
[03:27] <eseven73> !away > DS-Sleepin
[03:27] <zetheroo> jtaji: would I be able to setup a new password?
[03:27] <AceBlade2581> yes, sorry, i'm contimplating switiching
[03:27] <draco1889> hello
[03:28] <jtaji> zetheroo: yeah
[03:28] <draco1889> im having some trouble with my microphone and audacity, i got it to work but the recording is low and the audacity wave form is not centered
[03:28] <rmokhtar> umm, anyone want to help?
[03:28] <scientes> why doesnt ubuntu ever upgrade the kernel-package to allow people to build vinialla kernels?
[03:29] <zetheroo> jtaji: but deleting that file will not remove all my other GPG keys ... right?
[03:29] <hajmola> hey, does anyone know how to install e17 in intrepid?
[03:29] <jtaji> zetheroo: no that has nothing to do with GPG
[03:29] <hendrixski> AceBlade2581, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64           Well, if your computer is a 64 bit machine then you should use the 64 bit install.   If you're looking for a new computer, 64 bit is the way to go, they're faster and can hold more memory
[03:29] <jtaji> zetheroo: they're in ~/.gnupg
[03:29] <zetheroo> ahhh
[03:29] <zetheroo> \ok
[03:29] <kdubya> is there any way to reinstall the default packages
[03:29] <kdubya> without knowing what they are
