[18:34] <ajricoveri> can i remotely monitor network traffic with wireshark ???
[18:34] <nickrud> Wiredtape: sorry, was away. You ok now?
[18:34] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow,  what is this vesa thingy,.,. and it didnt ask me about res i dont think
[18:34] <DRebellion> sascha_: ext3 ???
[18:35] <ejer> ajricoveri: yes, you need promiscuous mode in net driver or need to be bridged gateway
[18:35] <MasterShrek> sascha_, id use fat32 (vfat) just in case you ever had to plug it into a windows machine
[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: vesa is generic video driver, works for virtually any card
[18:35] <thebest> ciao
[18:35] <shade052> Wiredtape: you can check you firewall settings.. some firewalls allow specific protocols to be blocked
 Kles, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what driver it is using, most likely vesa, nv or nvidia
[18:35] <Wiredtape> nickrud, unfortunately no, :) -> we have found out though that http doen't work, I am definitely connected to net..
[18:35] <DRebellion> ajricoveri: you can monitor all traffic through your computer
[18:35] <Kles> Section "Device"
[18:35] <Kles>     Identifier     "Generic Video Card"
[18:35] <Kles>     Driver         "nvidia"

[18:35] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, i have it in single mode atm,.,. and i can dmesg,. but it scrolls too fast,.,. how can i dmesg with only 1 page at a time?
[18:35] <NET||abuse> is there a basic package i need for ipod connections?
[18:35] <Wiredtape> shade052, I am using same network on another computer without any problem...
[18:35] <mnemonica> Repeat: Hello folks. I recently installed a Graphire4 pen tablet in Ubuntu 7.10. The pen tablet is working perfectly, but now my vertical scroll on my touchpad doesn't work! Can someone help me get it working again?
[18:35] <ejer> Wiredtape: what about https ?
[18:35] <Kles> Is that what I'm looking for?
[18:35] <MasterShrek> Kles, u coulda just told me it was nvidia, you are getting a gui though right? just low settings?
[18:35] <MasterShrek> yes
[18:35] <Wiredtape> ejer, do you have an address?
[18:36] <Kles> MasterShrek: Yes, low settings
[18:36] <neverblue> command to convert dec. to hex. ?
[18:36] <ejer> Wiredtape: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[18:36] <DRebellion> shade052: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS
[18:36] <Kles> although if I go in to the control panel
[18:36] <Kles> it says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver."
[18:36] <MasterShrek> the nvidia control panel right?
[18:36] <shade052> Wiredtape: well diff comps have diff firewall setting?
[18:36] <MasterShrek> hmm
[18:36] <Kles> yeah
[18:36] <sascha_> DRebellion, why ext3 and not ext2? is journaling of any use on a usb-stick?
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: I dont do much cli... but my suggestion should get you to gui
[18:36] <henroc> I have a question.. I"m trying to create a deb package which lists libpam-krb5 as a dependency, but for some reason aptitude is installing libpam-ldap
[18:36] <neverblue> !enter | Kles
[18:36] <ubotu> Kles: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[18:36] <MasterShrek> Kles, is there another entry in xorg.conf that refers to vesa or nv?
[18:36] <oem__> network manager isnt properly managing my ehternet adapter. it says it is disconnected when it is connected and i have to manually tell it to get an address from DHCP
[18:36] <Wiredtape> ejer, https works .. now this is really weird..
[18:36] <henroc> Is it possible to prevent this?
[18:36] <shade052> DRebellion: thanks
[18:36] <ejer> Wiredtape: firewall seems most likely
[18:36] <Kles> MasterShrek: Nope
[18:37] <Wiredtape> shade052, oh, i thought you meant router firewall.. let me check..
[18:37] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow,il try the xorg again
[18:37] <Wiredtape> ejer, is this in system->administration->network?
[18:37] <MasterShrek> Kles, you said you tried using the nvidia driver from apt right? have you completely removed it?
[18:37] <ejer> Wiredtape: it is something you would have set up
[18:37] <nickrud> Wiredtape: sudo iptables -F  will clear any firewall rules that might be affecting you
[18:38] <Kles> completely removed it? nope
[18:38] <Wiredtape> ejer, this is a clean install...
[18:38] <ejer> well, something is blocking traffic
[18:38] <MasterShrek> Kles, i would completely get rid of the apt version if you plan on using the one from their site
[18:38] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, thinkin i found the prob,.,. xorg has NO screen res's to use,.,. mybe the thing
[18:38] <ejer> Wiredtape: if you have a router, try to go to its config screen
[18:38] <Wiredtape> nickrud, after clearing firewall.. http still not working...
[18:38] <Kles> :|
[18:38] <Wiredtape> ejer, router config screen works...
[18:38] <MasterShrek> Kles, also keep in mind that any time your kernel gets upgraded, youll have to reinstall that driver (just so you know)
[18:38] <ejer> Wiredtape: ex http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[18:39] <Kles> >_<
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: good place to start
[18:39] <bod_> lol
[18:39] <ejer> Wiredtape: ok, then http is being blocked in router or afterwards
[18:39] <Kles> well, be right back then
[18:39] <nickrud> Wiredtape: try ejer 's thing, and the only thing I can think of otherwise is   env | grep -i http , possibly it's a bad proxy
[18:39] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow,  ok ,. i selected 1024/800 & 640     shouldnt have an excuse not to work now
[18:39] <ejer> Wiredtape: look at access settings in router
[18:40] <julia_> miu
[18:40] <MasterShrek> Wiredtape, you are trying to set up an http server that can be accessed from outside your router (sorry wasnt paying attention b4)
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Which video card driver
[18:41] <ejer> MasterShrek: http egress is not working for him
[18:41] <Wiredtape> MasterShrek, not atm, I will after i get http working..
[18:41] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, i chose vesa like you said,.,. but this time i got some weird lines and a mouse pointer for a second then the screen went black again
[18:42] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: you are running 6600 right?
[18:42] <julia_> ketä te ootte
[18:42] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, 6600 what? ,.,. whats that?
[18:42] <MasterShrek> Wiredtape, so you cant browse to any http sites is what you are saying?
[18:42] <julia_> ho are you
[18:42] <Wiredtape> ejer, nickrud, MasterShrek-> firewall is not the issue.. have disabled it, still no go
[18:42] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Your video card.. I thought you posted that earlier, but may have been someone else
[18:42] <ejer> Wiredtape: it is in router or after
[18:42] <MasterShrek> Wiredtape, your isp could be blocking ports, mine does
[18:43] <Wiredtape> MasterShrek, some protocols work, some don't... https, irc work.. I think http, ftp don't...
[18:43] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, i dont know what it is,. i think its a savage something
[18:43] <ejer> MasterShrek: it is outbound http - i doubt that is blocked
[18:43] <Wiredtape> MasterShrek, port 80? and I have another computer on same network, that can access np...
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: S3   sound familiar
[18:43] <MasterShrek> ejer, i could almost bet it does
[18:43] <Wiredtape> ejer, in router.. and also followed nickrud's instructions and cleared internal firewall
[18:43] <ejer> MasterShrek: then you can't see any webpages, seems a little silly?
[18:44] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow,  yer ,. but only because i read it online,.,. in single mode,. could i lspci to find out?
[18:44] <NET||abuse> popey, your suggestion of "rmmod ehci_hcd" worked,, why is that?
[18:44] <BlackRece> !paste
[18:44] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[18:44] <surak> Does anyone has any idea on the message "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-lookup.c: 475: _dl_setup_hash: Assertion `(bitmask_nwords & (bitmask_nwords - 1)) == 0' failed
[18:44] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Yes
[18:44] <RichEd> hi guys ... can anyone tell me how to reset "the video mode/driver" for my notebook without a reboot (i.e. command line reset)
[18:44] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, kk 1 sec
[18:44] <NET||abuse> popey, is there something wrong with my usb ports,, i do get alot of issues with them.
[18:44] <darkham> can you read me?
[18:44] <MasterShrek> the isp is blocking outgoing traffic on port 80, i could almost guarentee it, (assuming im understanding the problem correctly) my isp blocks outboud traffic on port 80, so my webserver is forwarded to a different port
[18:44] <ejer> hehe
[18:45] <julia_> what is happening
[18:45] <oddie> RichEd: ctrl+alt+backspace ?
[18:45] <ejer> we are talking about otehr way around MasterShrek he can't get to http webpages from inside the network
[18:45] <MasterShrek> i can access my webserver on port 80 inside my network, but it needs to be forwarded to a different port from the outside
[18:45] <Wiredtape> MasterShrek, that's a problem I'll handle later, atm, I can't GET http
[18:45] <RichEd> oddie ... what does that do ?
[18:45] <MasterShrek> oh, i thought he said it did work inside the network
[18:45] <oddie> RichEd: don't know if that's what you are looking for
[18:45] <ejer> it does
[18:45] <ejer> his router is stopping it somehow
[18:45] <bjames> hi all, how do I do the inverse of this: if [ -n "$1"]
[18:45] <oddie> RichEd: restarts your x server without rebooting
[18:46] <MasterShrek> is the router forwarding port 80 to that ip address?
[18:46] <MasterShrek> if so then the isp is blocking 80 like i said
[18:46] <skoruppa> hi, i created my own livecd of ubuntu. I cahnged sources.list but on installation, installer rewrite sources.list to default.... someone know how to disable this?
[18:46] <ejer> nothing to do with forwarding
[18:46] <Gigamo> I'm in need of a little help here. I installed the nvidia-glx-new package for my video card, but I can't start x using the "nvidia" driver in xorg.conf; only "nv" will work. What should I do? Run the manual nvidia installer from their site?
[18:46] <NET||abuse> popey, welll, whatever the reason,, thank you very much for the pointer,,, i'll have to figure out what's up with my usb stack.... the thing does hang often, killing my usb mouse, and just becoming unresponsive to new usb connections..
[18:46] <bjames> i.e. if not [ -n "$0"]
[18:46] <bjames> ??
[18:46] <MasterShrek> ejer, do you know how a router works? its not going to work from the outside if the router doesnt forward the port correctly
[18:46] <ejer> bjames: if [ ! -n $0 ]
[18:46] <ejer> MasterShrek: you are just confusing issue, go read back
[18:46] <surak> skoruppa: you must change it inside the package
[18:46] <bjames> ejer: tried that and it didn't work, although I think I see the problem now
[18:47] <bjames> cheers
[18:47] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13)
[18:47] <surak> becase it gets replaced from it
[18:47] <skoruppa> surek: in what package?
[18:47] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, that took ages to type,.,.lol
[18:47] <Wiredtape> ejer, if my router is to blame... why port 80? and why can I work on port 80 on another computer.. maybe, maybe it's because of a specific dhcp lease? i dont think it is.. but even if, i have disabled firewall.. so what could be blocking?
[18:47] <surak> the one who contains this file ;-)
[18:47] <oddie> RichEd: not sure that's what you're asking, but if you change your video driver you would need to restart the xserver
[18:47] <shade052> WasterShrek: but he says that the other comp connecting to the same router is able to forward? so its not isp fault?
[18:47] <ejer> Wiredtape: if you can get to http on router, it is not your ubuntu system
[18:47] <RichEd> oddie: what happens to my open applications when i do that x server reset ?
[18:47] <skoruppa> /etc/apt/sources.listt are in package?
[18:47] <fatejudger> I can't seem to get Zeroconf to broadcast my installed printers like it used to, is there some option which controls which services Zeroconf broadcasts?
[18:47] <skoruppa> wow
[18:47] <skoruppa> :P
[18:48] <Eric> hello, i'm on a ubuntu live cd right now and I'm trying to rescue some files and copy them to my external hard drive but is says I don't have permission any ideas?
[18:48] <hunter_> guys is there any way to get around using windows media plugins on ubuntu, pls
[18:48] <Eric> please...I really need the files
[18:48] <hunter_> thanks in advance
[18:48] <oddie> RichEd: they get closed. (without confirmation I think)
[18:48] <Nihilist_Nerd> Sorry if this is offtopic, but how may I find my friend's ISP's IP Address? I want to configure PPP in Linux.
[18:48] <surak> yes, man dpkg and you will know how to find a owner of a package
[18:48] <MasterShrek> !sudo | Eric
[18:48] <ubotu> Eric: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[18:48] <Eric> ok
[18:48] <Wiredtape> ejer, so weird... i'm really lost.. :-
[18:48] <Eric> thnx
[18:48] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, so should i try with the savage driver, not the vesa?
[18:48] <ejer> Wiredtape: can you see http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: I see those eery so often, dont know much about them.  vesa should work..  Is it possible to post your xorg.conf to the pastebin?
[18:48] <Wiredtape> *:-\
[18:48] <RichEd> oddie ... ah .. exactly what i am trying to avoid :)
[18:48] <oddie> RichEd: the restart goes pretty fast though.  since you are not rebooting
[18:48] <Wiredtape> ejer, you want me to ping that, or to go there?
[18:49] <itch_> Hello guys. I have a Dell 6400 notebook and an aditional LG CRT display. I`m tring to set up a dual-display configuration (not cloning) using my crt connected to the VGA port of the notebook. i`ve configured my xserver to enable both displays. But for some reason, after reboot, the X server starts in safe mode. Here is my xserver file: # xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
[18:49] <itch_> #
[18:49] <itch_> # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
[18:49] <itch_> # values from the debconf database.
[18:49] <shade052> MasterShrek: but he says that the other comp connecting to the same router is able to forward? so its not isp fault?
[18:49] <ejer> click it Wiredtape
[18:49] <ejer> see if it is dns not working
[18:49] <Wiredtape> ejer, I have..
[18:49] <ejer> and...
[18:49] <Eric> what's the password?
[18:49] <Wiredtape> can't see
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Not sure what else you have tried so far, it seems we spend more time undoing things people have tried than fixing the original problem.
[18:49] <RichEd> oddie: here's the problem ... totem usually works fine ... but after some major browsing hitting pages with embedded videos ... totem then plays with a blank screen
[18:49] <chri4> Wiredtape: if only http doesnt work, have you checked your proxy settings then?
[18:49] <iKap> am i suppose to create a separate partition for my files and the os? so when i restore.. all the files and programs are still there? didnt quite understand that concept... ?
[18:49] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, is there a way (from single mode) to copy xorg.conf to a usb stick?
[18:49] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, i havent tried anything
[18:49] <Wiredtape> ejer, can't access
[18:50] <ejer> Wiredtape: for fun i would reboot router
[18:50] <MasterShrek> shade052, the other pc, running an http server can forward on port 80 to the outside?
[18:50]  * MasterShrek is confused
[18:50] <MasterShrek> lol
[18:50] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: good...  first, look at your xorg and see what it currently shows for the video driver
[18:50] <skoruppa> surak: sorry but i cant find... there are many packages with sources.list but no any with etc/apt/souces.list
[18:50] <ejer> nothing to do with http servers MasterShrek
[18:50] <MasterShrek> then ignore everything i have said lol
[18:50] <ejer> he can't get to google for instance, or any other http
[18:51] <Wiredtape> ejer, will brb, rebooting.. chri4 -> will check after reboot
[18:51] <MasterShrek> i get you now
[18:51] <iKap> ejer, is it too late for me to create a separate partition of the files and programs?
[18:51] <oddie> RichEd: do you have the right driver for your video card?
[18:51] <ejer> iKap: yes, you don't need to really, the default is recommended for new users
[18:51] <shade052> MasterShrek: i am getting dizzy....
[18:51] <Gigamo> Anyone expert in nvidia drivers? :P
[18:51] <xfroggy> what's the difference between 7.10 & 6.06 LTS? Or where I can find some info about this topic?
[18:51] <ejer> iKap: make backups like normal you will be fine
[18:51] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, no,. you misread my question,,.,. can i/how do i    copy xorg.conf to a usb stick,.
[18:51] <ejer> !releases | xfroggy
[18:51] <ubotu> xfroggy: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[18:51] <RichEd> oddie: yep ... everything usually works fine ... i think some web page plugin hangs the video port
[18:51] <surak> so take a look at the own apt package, and the ubuntu installer
[18:52] <surak> skoruppa
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: if it is mounted you should just be able to cp to it.
[18:52] <iKap> ejer, oh okay, well what do you mean by backups? if you dont mind.. i mean i dont wanna loose my files/programs
[18:52] <xfroggy> ubotu, ty :D
[18:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ty :d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:52] <MasterShrek> xfroggy, ubotu is a bot, no need to thank him :)
[18:52] <ejer> iKap: all computer users should have regular backups
[18:52] <xfroggy> ah :D
[18:52] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, i dont know if its mounted,.,. hang on let me go grab the usb stick
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Sorry if I am distracted, but kinda involved in another project atm
[18:52] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, dw,.,. i just appreciate the help
[18:53] <Eric> how do I use the command line to move a file if there's spaces in it?
[18:53] <iKap> ejer, well even if i backup my files, when i restore how do i access the backup'ed version?
[18:53] <MasterShrek> !tab | Eric
[18:53] <ubotu> Eric: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[18:53] <tokok> ubotu: how do you do?
[18:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about how do you do? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:53] <Eric> the folder I'm rtying to move is /media/Macintosh HD/Applications
[18:53] <lod__air> what's the syntax for stoping avahi-daemon from boot?? update-rc.d avahi_daemon ???
[18:53] <Eric> theres a space in Macintosh HD
[18:53] <oddie> RichEd: sorry no idea how to help you.
[18:53] <ejer> iKap: part of backing up is knowing how to restore - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup
[18:53] <RichEd> thanks for trying :)
[18:53] <oddie> RichEd: try googling
[18:53] <Pici> Eric: mv /media/Macintosh\ HD/Applications
[18:53] <MasterShrek> RichEd, whats your problem?
[18:54] <iKap> ejer, one more thing.. when new versions of ubuntu come out, you can just upgrade right and keeping your files?
[18:54] <RichEd> oddie: i always do that before i join the fray in here
[18:54] <Arelis> Hi all. I switched to Dapper Drape 6.04 LTS, and like it. But the resolution is all screwed up. How can i force it to 1440x900? The GNOME utility won't let me select 1440x900
[18:54] <ejer> iKap: yup
[18:54] <RichEd> MasterShrek: here's the problem ... totem usually works fine ... but after some major browsing hitting pages with embedded videos ... totem then plays with a blank screen
[18:54] <MasterShrek> Eric, yes also as Pici said, use a backslash \ before the space, but you can use tab completion, just type the first couple letters and hit tab
[18:54] <MasterShrek> RichEd, ive never had good luck with totem, i think vlc has a firefox plugin, tried using that?
[18:55] <iKap> ejer, then why do people regularly restore ubuntu?
[18:55] <viki> hi
[18:55] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow,  im back,.,. right im gonna see if the ubuntu single mode recognizes it
[18:55] <RichEd> MasterShrek: i'll msg you some more detail ...
[18:55] <MasterShrek> iKap, its always better to do a clean install than to upgrade, although upgrades have gotten much smoother with each release, its always nicer to have a fresh install imho
[18:55] <Arelis> Hi all. I switched to Dapper Drape 6.04 LTS, and like it. But the resolution is all screwed up. How can i force it to 1440x900? The GNOME utility won't let me select 1440x900
[18:55] <Wiredtape> ejer, nickrud, chri4, MasterShrek thanks all for your help.. it works now..
[18:56] <viki> hi
[18:56] <iKap> MasterShrek, but i dont wanna loose my files/programs/settings lol... or well files/programs atleast.
[18:56] <hunter_> hi viki how can i help u
[18:56] <ejer> Wiredtape: good stuff, rebooting routers is a magic fix :)
[18:56] <chri4> Wiredtape: found the cause?
[18:56] <pepperjack> !fixres | Arelis might help
[18:56] <ubotu> Arelis might help: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[18:56] <Wiredtape> ejer, yeah, somehow it always works :)
[18:56] <ejer> heh
[18:56] <Wiredtape> chri4, I have no idea what the problem was.. but it works now.. :)
[18:57] <pepperjack> Arelis: bear in mind that the nex release is an lts as well and will have probably alot more polish compared to 7.04
[18:57] <MasterShrek> iKap, i understand that, im not sure if you can install ubuntu without formatting, but how i do it (in slackware) is just remove everything from the partition except the files that i want to save, then install without reformatting...dunno if its possible in ubuntu, but they should make that option available if it isnt
[18:57] <phaedral> usb plug and play works only intermittently; not sure what to do?
[18:57] <ejer> like the IT crowd says 'have you tried unplugging and replugging it?'
[18:57] <chri4> Wiredtape: in german we say "reboot tut gut", that's a rhyme, saying reboot help ;-)
[18:57] <Gigamo> Im in need of an NVIDIA expert here;.. :D
[18:57] <phaedral> last time I asked was pointed to look at hal, but don't understand what I'm looking at
[18:57] <ejer> iKap: the upgrade process does everything for you
[18:57] <Arelis> pepperjack: thanks.
[18:57] <pewpewpew> Gigamo: Just ask. The experts will pop up afterwards.
[18:58] <MasterShrek> iKap, otherwise as suggested use a seperate partition, which i doubt you can do if its currently install, in which case i would back up all the files you want to save to an external hdd or something, then repartition and reformat with a seperate /home partition
[18:58] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, what is the default dir of a usb stick?
[18:58] <iKap> ejer, but if u do a restore even if you save your files seperate.. you still loose your settings.. right?
[18:58] <Gigamo> I cannot start X using the "nvidia" driver in xorg.conf. It will error out saying it can't find nvidia.ko or something like that. However it works fine when I put "nv" as the driver. I have installed the nvidia-glx-new package.
[18:58] <ejer> iKap: what restore?
[18:58] <ejer> Gigamo: use the restricted-driver manager
[18:58] <phaedral> bod_: I think it's /media/[volume label]
[18:58] <Wiredtape> chri4, hehe.. I've been hearing a lot of rhyme in german lately specifcally about techie stuff.. I am starting to wonder how many techies you have over there :-)
[18:58] <iKap> ejer, when i do a clean restore, like everyone does..
[18:59] <phaedral> so for mine, when it works, it's /media/BAMF
[18:59] <shade052> ejer, Wiredtape, chri4: anticipating something interresting would come out of this!! and in the end a reeboot fixes the prob.... argh !!! brilliant!!
[18:59] <pewpewpew> Gigamo: Are you using Gutsy? I recommend the restricted-driver manager then
[18:59] <bod_> phaedral, ty :~)
[18:59] <Gigamo> how do i launch restricte dmanager from command again?
[18:59] <MasterShrek> iKap, some settings youll lose, if you save your /home/<user> folder all your user settings will remain, but system settings will go away i think
[18:59] <ejer> iKap: reinstall? this is not a restore
[18:59] <Foon> @find lobo
[18:59] <Arelis> pepperjack: Hm. It's not exactly the resolution i had in gutsy. It's off-screen, weird, blurry...
[18:59] <lukasz> WineCVS.sh: 48:  I get that error
[18:59] <phaedral> but desktop only see the damned thing about 1 time in 4
[18:59] <MasterShrek> Foon, use !find

[19:02] <MasterShrek> !ati | Arelis
[19:02] <ubotu> Arelis: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[19:02] <Arelis> MasterShrek: no
[19:02] <Wiredtape> Arelis,  1) can your gfxcard handle that..? 2) do you have a 16:9 monitor?

[19:04] <At0x0> Is there a quick way to reset my desktop (GNOME) layout to the default? Ie, I've moved icons, menu bars, clock, etc around and I'd like to reset it to the default layout.
[19:04] <MasterShrek> !better | Arelis
[19:04] <ubotu> Arelis: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[19:04] <Nihilist_Nerd> MasterShrek: Sorry, I'm talking rubbish. I'm looking for his ISP's IP address.
[19:04] <bod_> MasterShrek, ok i just removed the device then lsusb'd and i only get 1 line, so it see's it,.,. could you please double check the dir for a usb stick?
[19:04] <MasterShrek> Nihilist_Nerd, that should give it
[19:05] <Wiredtape> Nihilist_Nerd, whois, dns...
[19:05] <MasterShrek> bod_, i doubt in single mode it will auto-mount it though
[19:05] <Nihilist_Nerd> MasterShrek: Thanks very much.
[19:05] <MasterShrek> np Nihilist_Nerd
[19:05] <ejer> At0x0: it may remove other settings, but removing ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf* will do it
[19:05] <bod_> MasterShrek, how would i go about mounting it?
[19:05] <Pici> !resetpanel | At0x0
[19:05] <ubotu> At0x0: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[19:05] <shade052> bod_: put in the flash drive and type "fdisk -l"
[19:06] <ejer> At0x0: that is better way Pici said
[19:06] <MasterShrek> bod_, first: sudo fdisk -l     and identify which device it is, then do: sudo mount /dev/xxxx /media

[19:10] <Talon> Ejer: I tried and it didnt work, lemme try again
[19:10] <Nihilist_Nerd> And also, I'm not looking for his IP, but rather the IP of his ISP.
[19:10] <MasterShrek> Nihilist_Nerd, im aware of that, but if his network isnt working, his isp's ip isnt going to do anything for you
[19:11] <bod_> MasterShrek, ok ive done fdisk -l | grep dev

[19:16] <_0x44_> I recently purchased an Inspiron 1420n, and last night I was experimenting with suspend. I closed the laptop, and it suspended as normal, but this morning when I went to use it, the battery was dead. Apparently the laptop woke up about fifty minutes after I put it away and then never went back to sleep. How do I prevent that in the future?
[19:16] <Wiredtape> ejer, how do I do that?
[19:16] <ejer> sudo aptitude update
[19:17] <ejer> _0x44_: there are many bugs with suspend still imo
[19:17] <Moduliz0r> How would I control my system fan speed?
[19:17] <Wiredtape> ejer, after update, same error as b4
[19:17] <MasterShrek> _0x44_, suspend/resume has never worked well in linux
[19:17] <mohbana> just need some more confirmation, is anyone runnung ubuntu on an acer ferrari 4005?

[19:18] <_0x44_> ejer, MasterShrek: What's strange is that's the only suspend issue I  have.
[19:18] <MasterShrek> Nihilist_Nerd, sorry i couldnt be of more help to you
[19:19] <kbrooks> i ... err, made a mistake related to time on ubuntu and want to return the time to normal. what can i do?
[19:19] <Wiredtape> ejer, *install ubuntu-desktop didn't help
[19:19] <ejer> _0x44_: suspend is not really meant for overnight anyways
[19:19] <bod_> MasterShrek, im not sure,.,. lol,.,. oopps,.,. it wasnt you who asked for that then?
[19:19] <usr13_> I've set up a desktop system for a friend in a nighboring town, and all is well accept for the java plugin for firefox seems to be wrong version and doesn't seem to work properly.  I seem to have somehow installed Java Plug-in 1.6.0_13-b05.  How can we change to version 1.5.0_13-b05 ?
[19:19] <Moduliz0r> how would I manually control my system fan speed?
[19:19] <MasterShrek> bod_, nope, i was just helping you with usb :)
[19:19] <kbrooks> i don't have sudfo access because of the time problem, and this is a server
[19:19] <_0x44_> ejer: Is it possible to suspend into hibernate?
[19:20] <bod_> MasterShrek, cheers,.,. il try and find,. whoever wanted this now,.,.lol,.,. thanks alot m8
[19:20] <ejer> _0x44_: look at power management settings in system
[19:20] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, are you still there m8?
[19:20] <Talon> Is it commonplace for your wireless card to just not be detected after a reboot ?
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: YEs and no..
[19:20] <MasterShrek> bod_, what was your problem? i maybe able to help you anyways
[19:21] <MasterShrek> Talon, was it working before a reboot?
[19:21] <enkidu_ak> Talon: Are you using the compat-wireless drivers?
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Where are you at with that S3 Video driver
[19:21] <hansderelict> Slart: ok i see it - critical temp reached / critical trip point - but - my processor and fan is all cleaned out! i've never ran into this issue before, it's just in the past week or so.
[19:21] <_0x44_> ejer: That has two options, when laptop is closed do X, when power is critically low do Y.
[19:21] <L3ttuc3> is it possible to, say have two versions of opera running side by side, installed from .deb? like, i want the opera 9.25 package because it's stable fast and reliable, and 9.5 beta, because it actually has flash. yes, no?
[19:21] <enkidu_ak> Talon: You might need to call the loader, if you are.
[19:21] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, was it you who asked for my xorg.conf?      MasterShrek, my IBM Thinkpad T22,. crashes when it tries to load x
[19:21] <ejer> _0x44_: i know ;)
[19:21] <MasterShrek> L3ttuc3, i doubt it
[19:21] <penars> what's a good torrent client for linux?
[19:21] <Talon> Enkidu: i have no idea
[19:21] <_0x44_> I have X set to suspend, y set to hibernate, but it didn't hibernate when the battery dropped critically low.
[19:21] <mohbana> just need some more confirmation, is anyone runnung ubuntu on an acer ferrari 4005?
[19:21] <ejer> penars: i like azureus
[19:21] <bod_> penars, i use ,. deluge       sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent
[19:22] <tokok> penars: transmission, java NOT required
[19:22] <L3ttuc3> MasterShrek would it be possible, if i manually extracted the stuff, and stuck one in /home/user?
[19:22] <_0x44_> penars: I'm rather fond of BitTyrant.
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: YEs, xorg for your video, but if it crashes when set to vesa mode, you probably have other problems
[19:22] <ejer> _0x44_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend
[19:22] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, well heres xorg.conf,.,. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54243/
[19:22] <tokok> transmission will be default torrent client in ubuntu 8.04 replacing current torrent
[19:22] <MasterShrek> L3ttuc3, maybe, but the config files would be saved in the same place /home/user/.opera i think, and that may cause some problems, but it may be possible i guess...hard to say

[19:23] <shade052> go
[19:23] <bod_> MasterShrek, no,.,. i have no gui,. will apt-get still work? ,.,. what does that command do?
[19:24] <YixilTesiphon_> shade052: sorry, saw your "wait" just as I was hibernating
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: where did you get the horizontal sync, that isnt much of a spread
[19:24] <MasterShrek> bod_, yes apt-get will still work
[19:24] <shade052> YixilTesiphon : no probs
[19:24] <seaspider> hi guys, could do with a little help getting ubuntu onto my lappy. anybody got a sec to give me a hand?

[19:24] <shade052> doy you have a router you connect to for internet?
[19:24] <new2linux> is it safe to have kde and xfce and if so is there a way to switch between the 2 ?
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: LEt me see what I can find on your hw..
[19:24] <ejer> new2linux: yes, safe, switch using session in login screen
[19:25] <xfroggy> is there a way to find out which version of the program it's going to install prior to installing it?
[19:25] <usr13_> new2linux: The login manager will give options.
[19:25] <new2linux> right now i use xubuntu, i wanna try kubuntu
[19:25] <kbrooks> new2linux, warning: you may not like the look of running KDE apps in XFCE
[19:25] <MasterShrek> new2linux, totally save to have both, choose a different session from your kdm before you log in to switch between the two
[19:25] <kbrooks> new2linux, or vice versa
[19:25] <bod_> MasterShrek, i already have that package
[19:25] <Wiredtape> ejer, none of my tries have worked.. still getting same error 100 - aptitude failed..
[19:25] <MasterShrek> bod_, ok, just worth a shot
[19:25] <DRebellion> new2linux: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[19:25] <ejer> Wiredtape: can you install anything?
[19:26] <Wiredtape> ejer, from tasksel?
[19:26] <new2linux> drebellion, thats how i can get it?
[19:26] <histo> xfroggy: apt-cache showpkg packagename
[19:26] <MasterShrek> bod_, what was the laptop model again? thinkpad something?
[19:26] <bod_> MasterShrek, although it says ,.,. set to manual installed        what does that mean?
[19:26] <histo> xfroggy: if you are using synaptics you can look at the description.
[19:26] <ejer> Wiredtape: tasksel just calls aptitude, so try installing something from add/remove, synaptic, anywhere
[19:26] <MasterShrek> bod_, thats nothing to worry about
[19:26] <bod_> MasterShrek, T22
[19:26] <MasterShrek> k
[19:26] <bod_> k
[19:26] <DRebellion> new2linux: yep, to get kde
[19:26] <seaspider> *ahem* yes well my problem is this... i'm trying to install on an acer travelmate 4072, but the install crashes out. When i run it in safe graphics mode, it gets as far as loading a tan colored screen with a mouse... then stays there ^__^
[19:26] <new2linux> thank you all very much
[19:26] <spiffman> hi all... i was messing with gconf-editor and now gnome doesn't load anything after gdm
[19:27] <Talon> !info Wifi
[19:27] <ubotu> Package wifi does not exist in gutsy
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_:   Try these numbers for that..   HorizSync       28-51        VertRefresh     43-60   ...
[19:27] <usr13_> seaspider: Try alternate CD
[19:27] <ejer> seaspider: sometimes ctrl-alt-backsppace will restart grafix and make it work on livecd
[19:27] <ejer> !wifi
[19:27] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[19:27] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, how would i edit xorg.conf from single mode?
[19:27] <xfroggy> histo, ah! thanks! I was using Add/Remove first, wasn't aware of synaptic
[19:27] <Wiredtape> ejer, found error.. I hadn't closed the update manager after update (sheesh)...
[19:27] <seaspider> user13_: this is the 3rd disk al the same
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: You can always run livecd...
[19:27] <ejer> :)
[19:28] <seaspider> ejer: will try that now thanks
[19:28] <MasterShrek> bod_, also try: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-savage   maybe
[19:28] <moon> désoler mais je ne suis pas trés bon en anglais
[19:28] <ejer> !fr | moon
[19:28] <ubotu> moon: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[19:28] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, no i cant,.,. i had to install with the text based installer because of this prob
[19:28] <bod_> MasterShrek, ok
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: I assume you know how to edit using sudo nano
[19:28] <spiffman> gconf-editor only modifies the contents of .gconf, correct? to reset ALL settings, just delete those contents?
[19:28] <usr13_> bod_: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:29] <bod_> MasterShrek, already got it,.,.lol ty
[19:29] <MasterShrek> use sudo nano
[19:29] <bod_> usr13, no gui
[19:29] <MasterShrek> oh single user, no need for sudo then
[19:29] <DRebellion> nah, sudo vim :P
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterShrek: His HorizSync in xorg is way wrong
[19:29] <YixilTesiphon_> shade052: so if I were to install this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82936 (my wireless card is Atheros) it should then recognize my card, right?
[19:29] <usr13_> bod_: sudo  nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:29] <MasterShrek> Jack_Sparrow, i didnt even look at that
[19:29] <bod_> usr13, does it work in single mode?
[19:29] <usr13_> bod_: or: sudo  vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:29] <MasterShrek> bod_, yes it will work in single user mode, nano is a text-based editor
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterShrek: 28 - 33 isnt enough for that laptop
[19:30] <MasterShrek> Jack_Sparrow, i have no idea what it should even be
[19:30] <bod_> MasterShrek, usr13, ty
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterShrek: I just gave it to him
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_:   Try these numbers for that..   HorizSync       28-51        VertRefresh     43-60   ...
[19:30] <MasterShrek> cool
[19:30] <_0x44_> ejer: Would you suggest hibernate instead?
[19:30] <MasterShrek> _0x44_, i would suggest shutdown
[19:30] <MasterShrek> lol
[19:30] <ejer> _0x44_: i don't use them, sorry
[19:30] <ejer> i agree with MasterShrek
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterShrek: If he cant get hsync he wont get any display
[19:31] <MasterShrek> i agree with you on that Jack_Sparrow, i didnt even think to look at that
[19:31] <shade052> YixilTesiphon : Sorry, if you have a wifi prob, and the card is Atheros. then i am no the man.. i have tried getting mine atheros working for a few months now. i gave up..
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterShrek: Once that is set, I agree with you on going back to savage driver
[19:31] <_0x44_> MasterShrek: Why? Aside from the computer waking up unexpectedly, I haven't had any issues with suspend/hibernate.
[19:31] <YixilTesiphon_> shade052: damn, thanks though
[19:32] <_0x44_> ejer: Thanks for your help. :)
[19:32] <MasterShrek> bod_, also if you still cant get it, a pastebin of /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be helpful
[19:32] <Zleeping> cedega is making me mad, I just want to play some Civilization 4

[19:33] <trippss> how come when I want to install xrn from synaptic, it wants to basically remove every other package on the system? can Anyone else duplicate this?
[19:33] <usr13_> Talon: I don't know about "reinstalling", but you should be able to fix the problem.  What is it doing, exactly?  (or not doing?)
[19:34] <ejer> Zleeping: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=2514
[19:34] <mohbana> ah yes thanks but id like to know if anyone here is running a ferrari
[19:34] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, MasterShrek, ok retrying now,.,.
[19:34] <ejer> very doubtful mohbana
[19:34] <Talon> Well, i rebooted after changing my sound properties and now my 'Wireless Connection' isnt even in the list any more
[19:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: good luck
[19:35] <MasterShrek> mohbana, ive never heard good things about acer laptops with linux, especially new ones, they tend to have very new hardware that isnt quite supported yet, mohbana how old is the laptop?
[19:35] <K_Nine> tass1412: try running sudo alsaconf

[19:36] <tass1412> but actually it doesn't really work :/
[19:36] <MasterShrek> mohbana, also, the installer cd doubles as a livecd, so you can test out the hardware before actually installing it
[19:36] <ejer> acee1234: put http;// first
[19:36]  * bod_ 's anatomy may be ruined for life, but he loves MasterShrek & Jack_Sparrow ,.,. if they were beautifull women, he'd thank them very nicely

[19:37] <bod_> MasterShrek, Jack_Sparrow, cheers guys,.,. worked!!!!
[19:37]  * MasterShrek is a beautiful man...is that enough?

[19:37] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, yer,. cheers
[19:37] <mohbana> MasterShrek, yes i was also asking about that earlier 1) do you know if i can install the wireless card drivers before i do the install of ubuntu 2) if i install software via synaptic when i decide to install ubuntu will they be installed also?
[19:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Now to go for the gold... change vesa to  Driver          "savage"
[19:37] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, cheers dude,. thanks alot,. i really appreciate it
[19:37] <SinDoc> How can I make a USB Stick bootable?

[19:38] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: Oh, and make a backup of your xorg..  :)
[19:38] <MasterShrek> mohbana, if you isntall the drivers when you are on the livecd, after you install and reboot into the new install, youll have to reinstall the wifi card
[19:38] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, ok,. crossing again,.,. will i have to rechange those xorg settings?
[19:38] <acee1234> DRebellion: wrong paste sry
[19:38] <usr13_> Talon:  iwlist [interface] scanning

[19:38] <usr13_> Talon: sudo  iwlist wlan0 scanning
[19:38] <mohbana> MasterShrek, does the same thing apply to software?
[19:38] <K_Nine> tass1412: Then do you have alsa installed? Try sudo apt-get alsa
[19:39] <MasterShrek> mohbana, yes, nothign will be saved from the livecd environment

[20:25] <drunkmuppets> yes
[20:25] <exneo> but running the install script doestnt work
[20:25] <mkquist> exneo: did you check that page? usually works for me..
[20:25] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: i don't see why not, the ram is a bit low.
[20:25] <Indiadev_Techie> xobius: <IP_ADDRESS>....
[20:25] <exneo> I t recognizes it but it wont play
[20:25] <IndyGunFreak> exneo: ? the install script?..
[20:25] <exneo> Im a bit of a noob
[20:26] <exneo> ubuntu for bout a month
[20:26] <masquerade> Anyone know if there is a known way to install Ubuntu from a USB thumbdrive with the setup in windows rather than a preexisting linux install? I don't have an optical drive but I do have a bunch of 2 and 4GB thumbdrives
[20:26] <IndyGunFreak> !install | masquerade
[20:26] <ubotu> masquerade: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[20:26] <hsystemxX> scorphus, if gnome is consuming more resources than the acceptable, try a lighter desktop manager like xfce.
[20:26] <exneo> yes search google pendrive has a nice guide
[20:26] <mut80r> masquarade: try setting your BIOS to boot from USB-HDD and plug your memory stick in
[20:26] <Indiadev_Techie> IndyGunFreak: yes i know... but would ubuntu work fine on this machine if i set swap partition 2GB... ????
[20:26] <pinoyskull> need help using sed.. who can help me
[20:27] <exneo> probably but if its persistant you want a big partion
[20:27] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: like i said, its low on ram.. and if you're system is constantly accessing swap, its going to be slow
[20:27] <scorphus> hsystemxX: I have to mimic the most used configuration, as this is for software tests purposes, and many ubuntu users report problems with it
[20:27] <mut80r> brb restarting into installed system ..
[20:27] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: i would rpobably look at a straight debian etch install, as opposed to Ubuntu, on that little ram
[20:28] <Indiadev_Techie> IndyGunFreak: so should i ubgrade my ram (SDRAM.... they rare to seen in the market these days)....
[20:28] <exneo> so can I graphically compile the driver I've updated alsa and the kernal is new should I install the alc880 codecs? indygunfreak
[20:28] <PuppiesOnAcid> Is there any way to wget all the files in an apache directory listing?
[20:28] <iKap> whats the difference in restore and reinstall?
[20:28] <IndyGunFreak> exneo: i would.
[20:28] <norty>  i just installed matlab 7.4.0 for linux, and when i start it i cannot see the toolbar icons, i know they are there since i can click on them and windows appear but the links and labels are gone.. any help?
[20:29] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: if you cna upgrade the ram, I would, or like i said, go with a straight Debian install, Debian is pretty similar to Ubuntu, but not quite as resource heavy.
[20:29] <exneo> should I use kompile ive tried I get errors is their a better tool
[20:29] <dido> hello
[20:29] <exneo> indygunfreak
[20:29] <Indiadev_Techie>  IndyGunFreak: do u mean the that dos type installation .........
[20:29] <hsystemxX> iKap, guessing, restore - exact copy of a previous. reinstall - reinstalation with new configuration.
[20:29] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: i assume you're name means you're in India, but youc an find SDRam on ebay all the time for pretty cheap.
[20:29] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: i mean for either...
[20:29] <xobius> Indiadev_Techie, http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ in the browser and entering Username: admin and Password: admin
[20:29] <Indiadev_Techie>  IndyGunFreak: Yes.... i m frm India...
[20:29] <iKap> hsystemxX, if i do a restore would i loose my settings, apps, files?
[20:30] <Indiadev_Techie>  IndyGunFreak: wher u frm ???
[20:30] <hsystemxX> iKap,maybe, depends on what type of restore you are doing.
[20:30] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: ok, well, id on't know how the market is there, but i've gotten old memory on ebay pretty cheap.
[20:30] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: indpls, IN
[20:31] <Escudero> Hi, what are the repositories of source.list default?
[20:31] <Dandre> Hello,
[20:31] <scorphus> hsystemxX: maybe it is something with NoMachine. I'll backup this image and "aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" to see if I get this fixed... the drawback is that this will install 400+ packages and more than 380MB
[20:31] <Indiadev_Techie> IndyGunFreak: ok i will shop it on ebay...
[20:31] <scorphus> s/and more/and download more/
[20:32] <R_en_GUtsy> hello... I need to know how to activate the aegis protocol for use with WPA. My card works with wep, but Uni has WPA Enterprise and it doesn't seem to be supported. Anyone knows of any project related with this aegis sec.prot?
[20:32] <Indiadev_Techie> IndyGunFreak: also can u help me buy my new system ???
[20:32] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: what do you mean by that?
[20:32] <norty> nevermind got it fixed
[20:32] <IndyGunFreak> exneo: i can't really be anymore clear on the instructions, i compiled alsa followign those instructions, and it made my intelhda work fine.
[20:32] <adelie43> anyone having issue with the repositories being REALLY slow today? every server I am getting <1kBps
[20:32] <Wiredtape> hey.. is it possible to run ubuntu as a virtual machine inside windows? with 1 exception.. ubuntu installation is on different drive..
[20:33] <Starnestommy> Wiredtape: I think virtual PC can do it, but I'm not sure about vmware
[20:33] <Dandre> I am searching for a vnc viewer that can scale the screen so that it can fit in the viewer window. For instance, if the server has a display array of 1500x1000, and the viewer 800x600, I want to have the whole display in the viewer window
[20:33] <R_en_GUtsy> ANybody else having trouble with WPA Enterprise? WPA Personal seems to work...
[20:33] <Indiadev_Techie> IndyGunFreak: not on ebay man.... i mean can u help me configure my new pc that i want to buy... im into animaton,VFX/SFX & Cinematics....
[20:33] <invit> Hi
[20:33] <hepek> when I press Ctrl+A in any GTK+ textbox it doesn't select all but moves cursor to the beginning of the line, how can I fix this...
[20:34] <adelie43> Wiredtape: ubuntu needs to be installed from the VM. you can't run the same install because the hardware is technically different between being a host and a VM
[20:34] <IndyGunFreak> Indiadev_Techie: wouldnt' even know where to start, sorry
[20:34] <Wiredtape> Starnestommy, ok..
[20:34] <invit> Anibody know if 9dragon can work with Wine please ?
[20:34] <R_en_GUtsy> if you are to use ubuntu isnide a virtual machine on winodws you may be able to download it. Using vmware?
[20:35] <Indiadev_Techie> IndyGunFreak: Then sorry to disturb ya.... but thanx 4 ur Help....
[20:35] <R_en_GUtsy> invit try wine-doors. The best way to know is to try it. Wine is just 10MB
[20:35] <Wiredtape> adelie43, that's what I was thinking.. one more question.. would a ubuntu amd 64bit vm be able to run at that bit depth, while inside a windows 32 bit?
[20:35] <adelie43> Wiredtape: if you want to run ubuntu in a VM, you need to download the install iso for the host and them mount it in the vmware config for that machine and boot to it, then run install as normal
[20:35] <adelie43> Wiredtape: no
[20:35] <Ritter_Rost> guten morgen
[20:36] <Wiredtape> adelie43, so which version should I download?
[20:36] <Wiredtape> machine is 64bit amd.
[20:36] <muuddflap> will someone please tell what is the easiest printer to install on 7.10
[20:36] <R_en_GUtsy> Wiredtape: ifg you are to run ubuntu in vmware, just download the bmware image of gutsy and you are off. Doesn't get simplier
[20:36] <adelie43> Wiredtape: the only mix and match is that you can run 32 and 64 bit VM's in 64 bit host environments
[20:36] <invit> R_en_GUtsy I have try and I cant lunch the game, i don't know if my configuration are bad or if 9dragon don t work with wine
[20:36] <R_en_GUtsy> muuddflap: any HP printer should do
[20:36] <adelie43> Wiredtape: you need to get ubuntu for i386
[20:36] <Wiredtape> R_en_GUtsy, thanks
[20:36] <invit> But I think It doesn t work
[20:36] <Wiredtape> adelie43, thanks
[20:37] <warlock_handler> hi guys
[20:37] <muuddflap> r_en ok man thanks alot
[20:37] <adelie43> Wiredtape: you want the 32 bit ubuntu if you have 32 bit windows
[20:37] <R_en_GUtsy> It may not work. www.winehq.org
[20:37] <warlock_handler> i am having some display problem on my ubuntu 7.10
[20:37] <invit> Thanks a lot
[20:37] <muuddflap> thanks talk to ya'll later
[20:37] <pelerophon0> hi all. i'd like to backup my crontab file, but i don't know where to find it. i edit it by running "crontab -e".
[20:37] <adelie43> ok, different question. has anyone been using the repositories today and had them be normal fast?
[20:37] <R_en_GUtsy> see the WineDB to see details
[20:37] <R_en_GUtsy> and add some if you find them ;)'
[20:38] <DamagePlan> hello
[20:38] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: /etc/crontab
[20:38] <warlock_handler> I have a screen resolution of 1400 x 1050 ... and it is suppose to be perfect for my 19" wide screen (LG says that)
[20:38] <R_en_GUtsy> anybody knows about WPA and aegis ? Is there any protocol one has to install? what the h.. is it?
[20:38] <warlock_handler> but my ubuntu stretches more than required
[20:38] <adelie43> I suspect my traffic is being manipulated, so I was going to use squid over socks vis ssh to see if it sped thngs up, but wanted to see if others were having problems too, first
[20:38] <pelerophon0> zionpsyfer, that's what i thought, but that file looks nothing like the one i edit myself
[20:38] <invit> Ok it s my config .... 9dragon is supposed to work with wine :'(
[20:39] <lz1gjd> hello, could anyone help me with making flash work with firefox and gutsy ?
[20:39] <moon> bon soir tous le monde
[20:39] <heartsblood> I just read that Transmission has been selected as the defualt Torrent client for hardy, is this true?

[20:39] <PriceChild> !hardy | heartsblood

[20:39] <R_en_GUtsy> invit hang on... It ends up working. See if wine doors supports it. If not drop the guy a line, and he may even make it work ;)
[20:39] <heartsblood> of for crying out loud ><
[20:39] <warlock_handler> can anyone here please help me with my display problem...
[20:39] <moon> merci bien a bientot peace et salute
[20:39] <usr13_> pelerophon0: Just write to another filename / directory.
[20:39] <warlock_handler> admin helpppp sos sos
[20:40] <warlock_handler> :D
[20:40] <invit> Ok thanks a lot :)
[20:40] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: Hmm, what's the command you are using to edit it?
[20:40] <StLemur> Anyone else, ideas why upgrading the kernel to 2.6.24 might cause my audio devices to vanish?
[20:40] <pepperjack> warlock_handler: what problem?
[20:40] <pelerophon0> zionpsyfer: "crontab -e". i don't edit it as root, btw
[20:40] <usr13_> pelerophon0: crontab -e      Ctrl-o
[20:40] <R_en_GUtsy> PriceChild: nm should do it, I know, but it seems that something is wrong. Are the card drivers supposed to support that specific part of the stack. It's a dlink DWL-650+  card
[20:41] <warlock_handler> pepperjack: thank you ... ok the problem is... i have a 1400 x 1050 resolution
[20:41] <xobius> warlock_handler, wha'ts is the problem?
[20:41] <warlock_handler> pepperjack: and my monitor is perfect for that
[20:41] <pelerophon0> usr13_: that's a good suggestion indeed, but i want to write a backup script, so i still need to know where the actual file is
[20:41] <warlock_handler> pepperjack: but my ubuntu stretches below that in height
[20:42] <warlock_handler> pepperjack: so i cant see the bottom of the screen
[20:42] <pepperjack> warlock_handler: does the screen move around if you move your mouse over to the far boarders?
[20:42] <pelerophon0> zionpsyfer: when i edit it with crontab -e, btw, it says the file is tmp/crontab.[randomjunk]/crontab
[20:42] <warlock_handler> pepperjack: nope i am not using compiz or any desktop manager/ animation software
[20:43] <pepperjack> warlock_handler: sure it isnt a monitor setup issue? often when i change drivers or res i need to adjust the geometry using monitor buttons
[20:43] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: Hmm, I'm trying it out on my system to see if I can find it.  Unfortunately I usually just edit /etc/crontab.  still looking =P
[20:43] <usr13_> warlock_handler: You simply need to find one that fits the screen.  Look at ratios suggest in the owner's manual and find one you like.
[20:44] <kaminix> Is there any way to set standard settings for htop?
[20:44] <warlock_handler> pepperjack: I did that... hence i know that this size is not fitting the monitor right.. whereas it should
[20:44] <kaminix> eg. to use text for all bar thingies and to use the Black Night colour scheme
[20:44] <Dandre> I am searching for a vnc viewer that can scale the screen so that it can fit in the viewer window. For instance, if the server has a display array of 1500x1000, and the viewer 800x600, I want to have the whole display in the viewer window
[20:44] <DamagePlan>  help
[20:44] <DamagePlan> PLease
[20:44] <warlock_handler> usr13_: as i mentioned earlier... this is the right ratio...
[20:45] <Gibbwake> can someone tell me how to get to the wifi panel that shows the wifi networks? it disappears from the upper right randomly sometimes
[20:45] <DamagePlan> When I log out my computer freezes and just stays on the desktop picture
[20:45] <Flare183> !ask | DamagePlan
[20:45] <ubotu> DamagePlan: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[20:45] <usr13_> warlock_handler: If it is not displaying on the screen properly, then it clearly is NOT the right ratio.  So change it.
[20:45] <DamagePlan> Whats the problem
[20:45] <DamagePlan> thanks
[20:45] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: Got it /var/spool/cron/USERNAME
[20:46] <fiXXXerMet> Is it difficult to setup dual monitors in 7.10?

[20:46] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: errr, /var/spool/cron/crontabs/USERNAME.   *need more coffee*
[20:47] <usr13_> zionpsyfer: pelerophon0 Why not just let the nano editor write a copy to the home directory?
[20:47] <Flare183> Gibbwake: by running the networkmanager i think
[20:47] <Gibbwake> weird. ok
[20:47] <Odd-rationale> What's the differnce between dvorak and dvorak-classic?
[20:47] <pelerophon0> zionpsyfer: thanks! how did you find it?
[20:48] <zionpsyfer> usr13_:  No idea.  As I've said, my usual method is just editing /etc/crontab.
[20:48] <emma_> hallo
[20:48] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: the man page :P
[20:48] <DamagePlan> PLease can I have help, Whenever I log out or restart the x sever my computer is just left on the desktop picture. I then have to switch off my computer by the wall wich is not healthy. PLease can you help me, thanks :)
[20:48] <warlock_handler> usr13_: where can i find the display config file
[20:48] <Gibbwake> I wish I could tell it to stop auto connecting to some neighbors wifi. It just hangs up on it, then goes unresponsive when it cant connect
[20:48] <pelerophon0> usr13_: i'm writing a backup script
[20:48] <pelerophon0> usr13_: and, apart from that, it makes me nervous that crontab is writing to files i can't locate :)
[20:49] <oem__> !flashissues
[20:49] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[20:49] <pelerophon0> zionpsyfer: RTFM, eh? well, thanks! :)
[20:49] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: Heh, indeed.  when all else fails... :)  Glad I could help and learn something at the same time.
[20:49] <Flare183> DamagePlan: press alt+f1 to login to the termnial then type in sudo shutdown -P now
[20:49] <Gibbwake> how do I restart the nm applet that controls wifi? mine keeps hanging
[20:49] <IndyGunFreak> fiXXXerMet: most of ti depends on what brand card you have, Nvidia was pretty easy for me.
[20:50] <Odd-rationale> nv I got the answer.
[20:50] <usr13_> pelerophon0: But the editor tells you exactly where it is writing to.  [Ctrl-o]

[20:50] <lz1gjd> could you help me fix my problem with firefox and flash . i tried with automatix, installing it from inside firefox but didnt wrk
[20:51] <usr13_> pelerophon0: But the editor tells you exactly where it is writing to.  [Ctrl-o]  And at that point, you can just tell it to write a copy to your /home/username directory and there you have a backup.
[20:51] <Flare183> lz1gjd: flash is broken the installer is anyway
[20:51] <pelerophon0> usr13_: no, it doesn't. it's writing to a tmp file. presumably because i'm not on a superuser account and can't access the stuff under /var/spool/cron/crontabs directly.
[20:51] <lz1gjd> Flare183: any fix ?
[20:51] <Flare183> !flashissues > lz1gjd
[20:52] <HymnToLife> lz1gjd: download the archive, extract, copy the .so file into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, you're ther

[20:54] <Gibbwake> is there a default root password for ubuntu?
[20:54] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[20:54] <Flare183> !root | Gibbwake
[20:54] <jpatrick> !root > Gibbwake
[20:54] <ubotu> Gibbwake: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:54] <jpatrick> !sudo > Gibbwake
[20:54] <HymnToLife> technically, there _us_ one
[20:54] <Flare183> haha
[20:54] <HymnToLife> it's just one you can never get right ;)
[20:54] <HymnToLife> is*
[20:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !noroot
[20:54] <Gibbwake> is that something unique to ubuntu?

[20:55] <deme> Hey guys, my sound card isn't being recognized by ubuntu, any pages or guides that would help me?
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> ruben-: the user created during the install does have sudo access.

[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> ruben-: Never seen a fresh install..(hard drive not some vm thingy) not have sudo access
[20:57] <HymnToLife> deme: see your PM's ;)
[20:57] <HymnToLife> you got one from ubotu
[20:57] <deme> Oh, gotcha O.o
[20:57] <[nrx]> i've installed mythbuntu. enabled the restrcited drivers for my ati radeon. The colour depth isn't there though - can anyone tell me how i increase it?
[20:57] <helloyo> i have a bandwidth limit with my ISP, what is the best way to keep track of my usage?
[20:57] <ruben-> Jack_Sparrow: it's a fresh install, external computer..
[20:57] <Hi> HI :)
[20:57] <usr13_> pelerophon0: Or:  man 5 crontab
[20:57] <adub_> does anyone in here run xtight vncviewer
[20:57] <Flare183> DamagePlan: i don't know all that command does is shut the computer down
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> zLoSteR: #Compix for that answer
[20:57] <Flare183> !hi | hi
[20:57] <ubotu> hi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> #Compiz
[20:57] <Flare183> !compiz zLoSteR
[20:57] <ruben-> Jack_Sparrow: how can I fix that?
[20:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz zloster - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:57] <Flare183> !compiz | zLoSteR
[20:57] <ubotu> zLoSteR: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[20:58] <pelerophon0> usr13_: no offense, but my problem has been solved a long time ago, and i do know how to read the man page.
[20:58] <_Drax> Can someone give me some suggestions on what to use the ubuntu server for except webserver and mysql and game servers, I feel like doing something over here.. :)
[20:58] <Justin125> !ndiswrapper
[20:58] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[20:58] <Hi> Hey I got a Vaio notebook & i wanna install Ubuntu on it
[20:58] <Flare183> _Drax: goto #ubuntu-server i think
[20:58] <jeffMASTERflex> _Drax: how bout turning it into a music jukebox you can access from anywhere
[20:58] <HymnToLife> _Drax: seed the Ubuntu images on bittorrent
[20:58] <zLoSteR> well in compiz-fusion they told me that all i need is to update
[20:58] <zLoSteR> my compiz packages
[20:59] <usr13_> pelerophon0: Just type:  man 5 crontab   and use spacebar to page down or PageUp and PageDown  etc.
[20:59] <Jack_Sparrow> ruben-: No idea.. Is there more than one user on the system?
[20:59] <pelerophon0> usr13_: i find it curious that you give me lots of suggestions that do not apply to my problem, or are plain incorrect, and thereafter advise me to read the man page when i question them.
[20:59] <zLoSteR> my package-tree
[20:59] <ruben-> Jack_Sparrow: no..
[20:59] <_Drax> jeffMASTERflex, that sounds like fun!
[20:59] <Cyrus25801> Jack_Sparrow: IE$Linux not supported at wineHQ
[20:59] <zLoSteR> and i don't know how to do this
[20:59] <HymnToLife> _Drax: also, if you have a static IP, maybe you could consider joining the NTP pool
[20:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Cyrus25801: Yes, I am aware of that...
[20:59] <_Drax> I have a static ip, whats the NTP pool?
[20:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Cyrus25801: I never suggested using that.. I am very against using it
[20:59] <HymnToLife> http://www.pool.ntp.org
[21:00] <HymnToLife> !ntp
[21:00] <Cyrus25801> Jack_Sparrow: so why did you send me there then
[21:00] <Hi> so any special care tobe taken abt it?
[21:00] <ubotu> Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP)
[21:00] <usr13_> pelerophon0: Your original question was how to create a backup of the crontab file, and I told you the easiest most effecient method to do that.
[21:00] <DRebellion> ruben-: you could try booting off the livecd, mounting the hard drive, chrooting to it, and editing the sudoers file.
[21:00] <warlock_handler> usr13_: ok got fixed thnx for the help
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Cyrus25801: To get help with your problem and IE.. without using that script
[21:00] <Hi> Hey I got a Vaio notebook & i wanna install Ubuntu on it
[21:00] <ruben-> DRebellion: trying that now..
[21:00] <Hi> Hey I got a Vaio notebook & i wanna install Ubuntu on it
[21:00] <Hi> so any special care tobe taken abt it?
[21:00] <zionpsyfer> usr13_:  He just wanted to know the default location it is saved to.
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !repeat > Hi
[21:01] <Hi> what?
[21:01] <Cyrus25801> Jack_Sparrow: so ie4linux is a script
[21:01] <Flare183> !install > Hi
[21:01] <usr13_> zionpsyfer: But he asked specifically how to make a backup file of it.
[21:01] <r3tex> DRebellion: that doesn't work since the installed packages are newer
[21:01] <_Drax> HymnToLife, would it take much bandwidth, that NTP ? does it send data every minute?
[21:01] <[nrx]> !alsamixer
[21:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alsamixer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:01] <[nrx]> !mixer
[21:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mixer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:01] <dan__> Someone help a sec?
[21:01] <Flare183> !alsa
[21:01] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[21:01] <HymnToLife> _Drax: no, it takes very little bandwidth
[21:01] <DRebellion> ruben-: make sure you use 'visudo' to edit the sudoers file.
[21:01] <dan__> checking for KDE... configure: error:
[21:01] <dan__> in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
[21:01] <dan__> So, check this please and use another prefix!.
[21:01] <HymnToLife> the requests are really small, it's basically just telling the time it is
[21:01] <[nrx]> i can't get the mixer up, that's the problem :/
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Cyrus25801: Yes, and it makes a mess of things... for more info on it, ask in #Winehq it is OT in here.
[21:02] <dan__> I'm installing Kmuddy
[21:02] <Flare183> !enter | dan__ (sorry, had to do it)
[21:02] <ubotu> dan__ (sorry, had to do it): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[21:02] <[nrx]> what's the command for the alsa mixer in console? i've forgotten
[21:02] <_Drax> HymnToLife, it does sound like fun.. do you have more suggestions where you can be of usage like joining the NTP pool..?
[21:02] <adub_> does anyone in here run xtight vncviewer
[21:02] <zionpsyfer> usr13_:  Not unless I misread his question of " i'd like to backup my crontab file, but i don't know where to find it".  He sounds like he's good to go on backing things up.  He just needed the path.
[21:02] <L3ttuc3> [nrx] amixer?
[21:03] <dan__> huh? I pasted the error message
[21:03] <jeffMASTERflex> !pastebin | dan__
[21:03] <ubotu> dan__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[21:03] <L3ttuc3> [nrx] try amixer.
[21:03] <LjL> mc44: i'm not interested in what you are saying
[21:04] <pelerophon0> usr13_: zionpsyfer is entirely correct. i'm sure you're just trying to be helpful, but what is it that you think will be accomplish from continuing this conversation?
[21:04] <riot__> er irc.g00ns.net
[21:04] <Dexterex> hello! a read a lot of things abaut a solution for cpu 100% with flash anybody has an advice for that?
[21:04] <sajes> How do I build a .deb package from a source package?
[21:04] <dan__> so, you're going to just keep telling me how I'm talking in the IRC wrong, or is someone going to offer me some assistance?
[21:04] <HymnToLife> !checkinstall | sajes
[21:05] <tumbleweed05> hey people. just doing some hardware tests. when i plug in some headphones/speakers in the headphone plugin sound still comes out of the speakers on the computer.
[21:05] <jeffMASTERflex> sajes: debhelper is a series of scripts that will help you build nice deb packages. not the bastardized versions produced by checkinstall
[21:05] <Gibbwake> how do you get to the command line?
[21:05] <sajes> jeffMASTERflex: thanks.
[21:05] <Dexterex> how do you get to the command line?????
[21:05] <ubotu> sajes: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[21:05] <tumbleweed05> gibbwake: applications, accessories, terminal
[21:05] <Gibbwake> Dexterex: yeah im a newb
[21:06] <tumbleweed05> lol.
[21:06] <Gibbwake> thanks tumbleweed05
[21:06] <Dexterex> lol
[21:06] <ruben-> DRebellion: it says invalid argument with mount :s
[21:06] <tumbleweed05> so any help. when i want headphones plugged in i don't want sound coming out of this thing.
[21:06] <Gibbwake> I have ubuntu running on 128 megs of ram. its awful. keeps locking up
[21:06] <pelerophon0> i'm off. zionpsyfer, thanks again for your help.
[21:06] <tumbleweed05> gibbwake: i'm sorry.
[21:06] <jeffMASTERflex> Gibbwake: you might want to try xubuntu
[21:06] <tumbleweed05> you should upgrade or use like xubuntu or something.
[21:06] <Gibbwake> whats xubuntu?
[21:07] <jeffMASTERflex> !xubuntu | Gibbwake
[21:07] <zionpsyfer> pelerophon0: Np, have a good one!
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Gibbwake: That isnt much ram to work with
[21:07] <ubotu> Gibbwake: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels
[21:07] <Gibbwake> does it have wifi support?
[21:07] <DRebellion> ruben-: what was the command you gave?
[21:07] <tumbleweed05> gibbwake: yes it does.
[21:07] <ruben-> DRebellion: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hdd
[21:07] <Dexterex> Gibbwake:  read!!!!!
[21:07] <Parsec300> Gibbwake, it is a lot lighter than the other versions.
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Gibbwake: IS it also using shared ram for your video ?
[21:07] <sewmyheadon> Quick question: can I remove 32 bit ubuntu, keeping my home directory partition intact and install 64 bit in its place and mount the home partition without issues?
[21:08] <Dexterex> yes sewmyheadon
[21:08] <Gibbwake> Jack_Sparrow: oh god. I think so
[21:08] <tumbleweed05> hmmm.
[21:08] <DRebellion> ruben-: does /dev/hda1 exist?
[21:08] <sewmyheadon> Thank you!
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Gibbwake: So you dont even have a clean 128
[21:08] <flatline-kun> Has anyone here ever used CoovaChilli?
[21:08] <ruben-> DRebellion: I presume.. fdisk isn't a known command..
[21:08] <Gibbwake> Jack_Sparrow, yeah lemme turn off that feature
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Gibbwake: Minimizing shared will help
[21:08] <Dexterex> no flatline-kun
[21:08] <dan__> k, lets see if this works better. I'm getting this error when installing Kmuddy onto Gutsy http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54248/
[21:09] <Gibbwake> any other things I can do to save memory before I get xbuntu?
[21:09] <DRebellion> ruben-: :/
[21:09] <ruben-> DRebellion: I'm reinstalling..
[21:09] <Dexterex> dan__ look for kde-dev packages
[21:09] <ruben-> nice first experience with ubuntu :p
[21:09] <white_eagle_> Gibbwake, just get xubuntu ;)
[21:09] <DRebellion> ruben-: yeh, i have no idea why mount would complain about those arguments
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Gibbwake: NOt really... You will most likely end up with X as it is lighter..
[21:10] <ruben-> I'll give it another shot..
[21:10] <DRebellion> ruben-: verify both /dev/hda1 and /mnt/hdd exit
[21:10] <DRebellion> ruben-: verify both /dev/hda1 and /mnt/hdd exist
[21:10] <tumbleweed05> nice. the media card reader works.
[21:10] <jeffMASTERflex> dan__: he's right. you need to install the kde dev packages to compile kde programs
[21:10] <fiXXXerMet> I'm having issues with printing.  When I open up the printer configurator and do a test page, everything is OK.  When I print from firefox, margins are all wrong and text runs off the side of the page?
[21:10] <Cyrus25801> is there no way of running active-x on ubuntu without installing Internet explorer
[21:10] <Dexterex> Gibbwake:  use google!!! there are a lot of distro for that requirement
[21:10] <simion314_> hi, what program for burning CD do you suggest to use? i want something to a good interface
[21:10] <dan__> look for them where? I installed KDE, and it gave me the same error when I was in the KDE session
[21:10] <tumbleweed05> ethernet, fn keys, media card reader, wireless, it all works.
[21:11] <tumbleweed05> nice.
[21:11] <tumbleweed05> sound too.
[21:11] <nemilar> simon360: k3b seems to be everyone's favorite
[21:11] <jeffMASTERflex> simion314_: brasero has a nice simple interface. gnomebaker and k3b are also available
[21:11] <sophs87> k3b?
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Did yo also install build essentials
[21:11] <Dexterex> simion314_:  k3b look it in apt
[21:11] <tumbleweed05> well i'm gonna keep playing around.
[21:11] <nemilar> Brasero is the new default in 8.04 =)
[21:11] <sophs87> Erm, or nero linux but that you would have to pay for or break the law
[21:11] <tumbleweed05> later people.
[21:11] <dan__> I clicked on KDE in the SPM
[21:11] <pepperjack> k3b is better than nero anyway imo
[21:12] <Parsec300> simion314_, yeah, but to enable direct burning music CD from MP3, you need to install additional packages
[21:12] <sophs87> tbh i've never tried k3b :(
[21:12] <Dexterex> k3b rocks!
[21:12] <jeffMASTERflex> pepperjack: i agree, but k3b is ugly as hell IMO. nero is too. i like brasero even if it's not as reliable as k3b
[21:12] <sophs87> downloading it now :)
[21:12] <Dexterex> didt use brasero
[21:13] <Dexterex> i'll test it
[21:13] <linuxNoob> wahh
[21:13] <linuxNoob> hello people
[21:13] <linuxNoob> i need help
[21:13] <usr13_> Parsec300: One cannot directly burn a music CD from mp3s, they need to be converted back to .wav files first.
[21:13] <linuxNoob> dpkg -_-"""
[21:13] <Dexterex> shot!
[21:13] <Gibbwake> is there a way to run scandisk for software errors on the drive due to forced shutdowns?
[21:13] <jeffMASTERflex> !enter | linuxNoob
[21:13] <ubotu> linuxNoob: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[21:13] <linuxNoob> ?
[21:13] <DRebellion> Gibbwake: fsck
[21:14] <Dexterex> Gibbwake: use google please!!
[21:14] <sophs87> Gibbwake: if it's an ntfs partition then you'll need to boot into windows
[21:14] <linuxNoob> i got the available file from the live cd on my flash drive and i cant copy it to my var/lib/dpkg folder it says i dont have permission
[21:14] <nemilar> Brasero actually looks really nice
[21:15] <DRebellion> Dexterex: there is no need to direct Gibbwake to google. that completely defeats the point of this interactive help.
[21:15] <neverblue> linuxNoob, then change the permissions, man chown
[21:15] <sophs87> linuxNoob: sudo cp ?
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxNoob: gksudo nautilus
[21:15] <linuxNoob> err how u change it
[21:15] <_Drax> Is it normal that ubuntu caches about 170MB of 256MB ram.. ??
[21:15] <Dexterex> yap but his questions are in google too there are a lot of people asking
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxNoob: But please exit that asap as it is dangerous to keep using it all the time
[21:15] <tass1412> how to create an iso from a cd? easiest way to go? ^^
[21:15] <_Drax> and leaves about 10MB memfree..
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> tass1412: dd command
[21:15] <linuxNoob> wgats gksudo nautilus?
[21:15] <tass1412> Jack_Sparrow: that easy? ^^
[21:15] <dan__> I have the KDE devel package installed
[21:16] <jeffMASTERflex> tass1412: gnomebaker,k3b and brasero all let you do that
[21:16] <Decinoge> soooo.. just for general checking
[21:16] <Parsec300> usr13, why not? I've read that if you install the additional packages, you can with K3B.
