[03:48] <Frogzoo> LordSkies: pastebin!
[03:48] <_jason> LordSkies: I asked for only the first two lines
[03:49] <_jason> LordSkies: what does /etc/hostname contain?
[03:49] <brenner> pauldaoust: packages.ubuntu.com has a file search feature
[03:49] <_jason> ubotu: tell DarthShrine about multimedia
[03:49] <LordSkies> /etc/hostname gives me a blank line
[03:49] <Mischevious> pauldaoust, why do you think it is
[03:49] <vader> help with a broadcom wireless anyone?
[03:49] <Mischevious> _jason, any idea why my ipod has 78 unpartitioned megabytes?
[03:49] <pauldaoust> brenner: thanky
[03:49] <pauldaoust> Mischevious: not the foggiest. probably some weird Apple thingy.
[03:50] <pauldaoust> Mischevious: don't have an iPod myself.
[03:50] <Mischevious> pauldaoust, i never noticed it my self till i fired up gparted right now
[03:50] <Cyorxamp> are there 617 people in this channel?
[03:50] <Mabus06> where is your 'c' drive when you install wine?
[03:50] <tonyyarusso> Mabus06: Something like ~/.wine/dosdevices/c/
[03:51] <Rug> Cyorxamp: We are hiding, hush!
[03:51] <_jason> LordSkies: ok choose a hostname, for example ``ubuntu'' and change the contents of /etc/hostname to ``ubuntu'' without the quotes.  Then update the first line of /etc/hosts to be ``<IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntu'' again without the quotes.  To edit these files you may have to reboot in recovery mode and issue the command 'nano /etc/hostname', then edit the file, save with ctrl-o, and exit with ctrl-x.  Same for /etc/ho
[03:51] <Cyorxamp> Rug... seriously - are there?
[03:51] <pauldaoust> Mabus06: ~/.wine/drive_c
[03:51] <Mischevious> pauldaoust, it's okay i just merged the two partitions into fat32
[03:51] <_jason> LordSkies: that was a little longer than I anticipated, did you get all that?
[03:51] <Arrick> brenner: when it asks me where to install the grub, o I want it on the master boot partition?
[03:51] <Rug> yeah, you can set a +i Invisible flag when you login to IRC
[03:51] <pauldaoust> Mischevious: good stuff. does it still work? :P
[03:51] <LordSkies> ok, I think I got all that, I will try and return if I have trouble
[03:51] <Cyorxamp> I'm not on about that
[03:51] <Mischevious> pauldaoust, tell ya in a sec :-p
[03:51] <Cyorxamp> jeez simple question - complex answer
[03:51] <brenner> pauldaoust: are you sure that's the filename?  the search didn't show it in hoary :-/
[03:51] <pauldaoust> heh
[03:52] <brenner> Arrick: yes
[03:52] <Mischevious> pauldaoust, nope now it's complaining :-P probably shouldn't have done that
[03:52] <Rug> Cyorxamp: sorry.  It's in my nature to be a pain in the ass
[03:52] <vars> if i install windows on a seperate partiton is there a way to run it inside Ubuntu?
[03:52] <Arrick> brenner: ok thanks
[03:53] <ArIeZ> im trying to enter a root password but it wont let me
[03:53] <ArIeZ> any ideas
[03:53] <NickGarvey> !root
[03:53] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[03:53] <pauldaoust> brenner: thought it was. anyway, there's a ps2ai.ps file in the gs-afpl, gs-gpl, and gs-esp packages, but for some reason my documentation has disappeared, so I don't know how to use those files with ps2ps, if I can at all. Anyway, I'll just search the Web.
[03:53] <brenner> vars: less trouble to just reboot if you ask me
[03:54] <biberao> hey
[03:54] <biberao> how do i make xgl work?
[03:54] <_jason> !xgl
[03:54] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[03:54] <sbartleylinux> I just bought my first AMD-64 system.  It has an ATI X200 video card on-board.  I installed Ubuntu 5.10 - 64-bit.  I can get ok video with vesa driver but can not seem to get the ati or the fglrx driver to work at all. anyone able to help?
[03:54] <Frogzoo> can anybody recommend a firefox downloader for pulling whole web directories?
[03:54] <Cyorxamp> the mIRC perform list is totally poo compared to the power of X-Chat
[03:54] <Cyorxamp> :P
[03:54] <_jason> Frogzoo: flashgot extension, with d4x, gwget, wget...
[03:54] <biberao> _jason sure that howto will work for ati gnome?
[03:55] <_jason> biberao: no idea, try asking the #ubuntu-xgl crowd
[03:55] <vader> cafuego, are you about?

[03:56] <Mischevious> :-p
[03:57] <Frogzoo> _jason: thx jan I'll give d4x a shot - wget won't cut it cos they're java pages
[03:57] <pauldaoust> Mischevious: oh dear. so what happened now? I was worried that it might be some fancy spot for the OS.
[03:57] <nvicf> how can I tell which version of a given lib I have?
[03:57] <_jason> Frogzoo: hmm don't think it will work then, but you can try
[03:57] <Mischevious> pauldaoust, i just need to run the apple updater utility, no worries
[03:57] <vader> cafuego, are you about tonight?
[03:57] <pauldaoust> Mischevious: hope that's all you need to do :)
[03:57] <Mischevious> pauldaoust, it is.

[03:59] <OMGKTHX> it would make apt-getting it a smidge easier
[03:59] <Frogzoo> _jason: there's an ff extension called 'download them all' but I've had only mixed success
[03:59] <_jason> Frogzoo: flashgot just grabs every link on a page and sends it to the download manager of your choice
[04:00] <OMGKTHX> this one at a time ish is killing me
[04:00] <Frogzoo> _jason: yup, that might do it - I'll get it a go

[04:18] <NickGarvey> Arrick: what command are you using?
[04:18] <hardbop200> hey all - I'm trying to run "make" on an app, and it tells me that it cannot find gtk+-2.0 in my PKG_CONFIG.  what should I install to get this?
[04:18] <Arrick> system_username = "network username"
[04:19] <NickGarvey> Arrick: well you aren't root
[04:19] <NickGarvey> Arrick: and that seems over my head
[04:19] <Arrick> nickgarvey: ok, thanks for your help
[04:19] <turf_ph> hardbop200: apt-get gtk+2.0
[04:19] <Falstius> turf_ph: he needs the -devel package.
[04:20] <NickGarvey> Arrick: heh sorry for the lack of.. anything

[04:23] <vader> I have a broadcom 4318 Air Force wireless card on board. I can see the network but I cannot seam to gain DHCP...does anyone have any suggestions? I am out of answers
[04:23] <FunnyLookinHat> vader, do you have the right WEP key?
[04:24] <vader> yes I do
[04:24] <Arrick_> hell all
[04:24] <FunnyLookinHat> Try running dhclient <interface>
[04:24] <nickrud> vars, still have firefox problems?
[04:24] <vader> I have
[04:24] <FunnyLookinHat> strange.
[04:24] <vader> very
[04:24] <FunnyLookinHat> Don't know what to say, sorry
[04:24] <FunnyLookinHat> try it on someone elses wireless network
[04:24] <vader> np.....i was taking a stab anyhow
[04:24] <FunnyLookinHat> if it still doesn't work, o poopz
[04:24] <turf_ph> im using 5.10 and using the out of the box dailer problem is i could not default my gateway to ppp0 any idea why?
[04:24] <vader> have
[04:25] <Arrick_> I am looking for help setting up my Ubuntu Linux Server as a file/print server, I have it installed on a pentium mmx with 64 mg ram
[04:25] <turf_ph> Arrick: try samba
[04:26] <vook> vader, so it does work on other networks?
[04:26] <vader> vook, no
[04:26] <vader> it will not get DHCP anywhere
[04:26] <Arrick_> Turf_ph: I ont haev a gui installed, so I have no idea what to do at this point
[04:26] <yamathan> Wow.  That's useful.  : D
[04:26] <RedRose> how do i, through bash, change the default loaded desktop that startx exec's?
[04:26] <yamathan> "Ubuntu Servers" just brought me here.
[04:27] <Arrick_> yamathan: thats how I got here?
[04:27] <turf_ph> do you have lynx installed? @Arrick
[04:27] <vader> vook, in other words......lol I have no more answers lol
[04:27] <vook> vader, it could be that the dhcp server is demanding that your client provide a hostname.  One handy tool I recommend is gtkwifi
[04:27] <Arrick_> turf_ph: I dont have anything but the default "server" from ubuntu
[04:27] <vook> vader, it's not in the ubuntu repositories, but can be found on sourceforge.
[04:28] <vader> k
[04:28] <turf_ph> Arrick, : apt-get install samba
[04:28] <nickrud> RedRose, edit ~/.xinitrc
[04:29] <yamathan> Arrick, really?
[04:29] <Arrick_> turf_ph: it says command not found
[04:29] <LordSkies> Just wanted to say thanks to _jason.  Everything is functioning perfectly now!
[04:29] <Installer36>   Arrick> try this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_software
[04:29] <_jason> LordSkies: great
[04:29] <yamathan> Why has Vista been delayed for another year?
[04:30] <turf_ph> Arrick: ic its a bare installation
[04:30] <LordSkies> _jason: Thanks so much!
[04:30] <fiendskull9> im installing another distro on a new partition, will i need another swap partition, or will the other distro use that swap?
[04:30] <turf_ph> Arrick: you need to install apt
[04:30] <Arrick_> turf_ph: when I type it the right way, it says E: could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (permission denied) E: unable to lock the list directory
[04:30] <yamathan> I ask this because, well, Vista doesn't seem much different from, say, some of the up-and-coming GUI's.
[04:30] <Arrick_> turf_ph: how?
[04:30] <Falstius> fiendskull9: it can use the same swap and should detect it automatically during install.
[04:30] <vader> vook, I now have that, what do I do to use it?
[04:31] <Installer36> tArrick use sudo apt-get install samba
[04:31] <turf_ph> Arrick: use sudo
[04:31] <fiendskull9> Vistas "revolutionary" features are the same as osx
[04:31] <fiendskull9> theres a you tube video that demonstrates
[04:31] <fiendskull9> Also
[04:31] <turf_ph> Arrick: sudo apt-get install samba
[04:31] <fiendskull9> im installing slackware (as i mentioned), is there something i can install thatll utilize the apt-get commands we all know and love?
[04:31] <vook> vader, right click on a gnome panel (assuming you are using gnome) and click "add to panel", look for "Wireless Connection Manager".
[04:31] <yamathan> "Revolutionary" only because the MicroMonopoly is releasing it.
[04:32] <Installer36> Arrick > first read at the site I posted for you
[04:32] <fiendskull9> yamathan, lol, true.
[04:32] <turf_ph> Arrick: also consider Installer36 advise
[04:32] <yamathan> When is GLX coming to Ubuntu?
[04:32] <fiendskull9> yamathan, i prefer to refer to it as Microslush
[04:33] <yamathan> I should rephrase that -- how can I INSTALL GLX and others?
[04:33] <Installer36> Arrick > you will also need ..I believe smb
[04:33] <fiendskull9> !glx
[04:33] <ubotu> fiendskull9: Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[04:33] <fiendskull9> !GLX
[04:33] <ubotu> fiendskull9: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[04:33] <fiendskull9> hmm
[04:33] <vader> vook, that only sees one (the weekest) wireless in this area, and not my own
[04:33] <vook> vader, what kind of wireless router are you using?
[04:34] <fiendskull9> Im installing slackware, is there anyway to install a package manager, or utilize apt-get commands on it? I still hate compiling.
[04:34] <vader> Motorola
[04:34] <turf_ph> where do  i edit my gateway?
[04:34] <vader> but it doesn;t matter, no router seems to work with it lol
[04:34] <turf_ph> under interface?
[04:34] <vook> vader, hmm.  I have my wireless router set up to be hidden, so it doesn't see mine either, but that's intended.
[04:34] <Falstius> route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> eth0 :)
[04:34] <vader> mine is not for now
[04:35] <vook> vader, are you using ndiswrapper?
[04:35] <Cyorxamp> !root
[04:35] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[04:35] <turf_ph> Falstius: would that make permanent?
[04:35] <vader> no...ndiswrapper would not light it up
[04:35] <vook> vader, so this device of yours, it does have a broadcom chipset correct?
[04:36] <vader> vook, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx?highlight=%28broadcom%29 this is what I am using
[04:36] <vader> vook, yes
[04:36] <Arrick_> installer36: how do I install anything on here? I am a newbie, so please bear with my sometimes stupid and repetitive questions.
[04:36] <ArIeZ> anyone know how i can move a file to a different dir
[04:36] <Falstius> turf_ph: no, its not really the suggested method.  You can do it through  system->adminstration->networking then click on properties for the network card.
[04:36] <vader> it does all but gain DHCP
[04:37] <vook> vader, what do you mean "all", can it be assigned a static IP and then ping the router?
[04:37] <neo911> is it safe to put soy sauce in ubuntu?
[04:37] <vader> I can assign but no it will not ping
[04:37] <turf_ph> Falstius: i did that but i could not find ppp0, so im looking on manually editing it
[04:38] <vook> vader, i'm doubting it's a dhcp issue then
[04:38] <Falstius> uhm .. what are you using to dialup?  It should be set there somewhere.
[04:38] <vook> hmmmmmm
[04:38] <fiendskull9> neo911, no, but it makes it delicious :)
[04:38] <fiendskull9> neo911, i dunno really
[04:38] <Jerub> hi! I've changed /etc/hostname to be a host that doesn't resolve on the network, and sudo will refuse to work if I can't resolve the hostname
[04:38] <vook> vader, I'm using a broadcom chipset, but it's been a while since I got this thing working, lemme dig a bit.
[04:38] <turf_ph> Falstius: yes its a dialup
[04:39] <Jerub> so, I can't see to be able to get root access in order to fix the problem, does anyone know how I can fix this?
[04:39] <neo911> fiendskull9, i was just kidding there's no such package he he
[04:39] <vader> k ty vook
[04:39] <shrewduser> hey guys, where is the: Directory containing linux kernel source code ?
[04:39] <blueOrange> anyone able to assist me with how to enable svideo output ?
[04:39] <fiendskull9> neo911, i know, but i though maybe it was some program.
[04:39] <Falstius> turf_ph: which program to dialup though? gnome-ppp, wvdial?  Actually, I haven't used either in years so I can't really help.  But it should be set there.
[04:39] <fiendskull9> Does anyone use slackware?
[04:39] <turf_ph> Falstius: i could only view in the drop down are eth0 and eth1
[04:39] <Installer36> Arrick .>  First go here...http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu....This will give you a good start ...
[04:39] <fiendskull9> or is familiar with it
[04:39] <NickGarvey> !slackware
[04:39] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, NickGarvey
[04:39] <vader> vook, I will be back....must do something
[04:39] <nickrud> Jerub, you'll need to boot up in recovery mode, you can edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts that way without sudo
[04:40] <Jerub> nickrud: okay, thanks.
[04:40] <shrewduser> a program is asking me for the "Directory containing linux kernel source code " but i can't find the dir,....
[04:40] <nickrud> Jerub, what do you have in /etc/hostname ,  and on the first line only of /etc/hosts , anyway?
[04:40] <Falstius> shrewduser: /usr/src/linux-2.6....
[04:40] <NickGarvey> shrewduser: you don't have it by default
[04:40] <Falstius> if it is installed.
[04:41] <shrewduser> oh i don't?
[04:41] <Jerub> nickrud: I changed /etc/hostname without chanign /etc/hsots
[04:41] <nickrud> Jerub, ok, then you know :)
[04:41] <NickGarvey> root@ubuntu:/etc/samba# apt-get install linux-source-2.6.12
[04:41] <shrewduser> NickGarvey:well thats probably why i couldn't find it....
[04:41] <Jerub> nickrud: it would work fine if I had put the FQDN in /etc/hostname, but I made a mistake.
[04:42] <shrewduser> NickGarvey: ta...
[04:42] <nickrud> Jerub, you only need the host name portion in hostname , domain is not needed
[04:42] <Jerub> nickrud: if you have /etc/hosts configured correctly :)
[04:42] <turf_ph> Falstius: i just try to figure this out, thanks for your help
[04:42] <Falstius> turf_ph: I'd try to help more ... but I don't have a phone line or modem installed.
[04:43] <turf_ph> Falstius
[04:43] <turf_ph> its ok
[04:43] <nickrud> turf_ph, you could try using pppconfig , and then pon/poff to start/stop ppp . Not as convenient as a gui thing, but reliable
[04:43] <phrowzen> anyone know how i might configure the minimum number of similar windows required for gnome to make a 'group' on the taskbar?
[04:43] <sgleo87> when I open an Office XP word file in Open Office 2.0 in Ubuntu the page breaks are slightly differnt (but after 10 pages it makes a half a page difference). Why is that and how can I fix that?
[04:43] <turf_ph> nickrud: k,thanks
[04:44] <NickGarvey> ./join #openoffice
[04:44] <Arrick_> Installer36: I have read the page you sent me, and it doesnt help e out much if I cant install the software, any Ideas?
[04:44] <NickGarvey> that would most likely be your best best sgleo87
[04:44] <sgleo87> ok thx
[04:44] <Arrick_> turf_ph: you have any suggestions for me, I have read the page that installer36 gave me
[04:45] <Arrick_> turf_ph: how do I install the programs?
[04:45] <sbartleylinux> I just bought my first AMD-64 system.  It has an ATI X200 video card on-board.  I installed Ubuntu 5.10 - 64-bit.  I can get ok video with vesa driver but can not seem to get the ati or the fglrx driver to work at all. anyone able to help?
[04:45] <brenner> Arrick: do you have net access on the box?
[04:45] <Mabus06> Totem could not play 'fd://0'.
[04:45] <Arrick_> brenner: I have no idea
[04:45] <Mabus06> How do I get streaming video to work with firefox?
[04:46] <Arrick_> brenner: how do I check?
[04:46] <turf_ph> Arrick: ping www.yahoo.com
[04:46] <sgleo87> hmm only 3 people in #openoffice and they don't know....
[04:46] <Installer36> Arrick > Start at this page..http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu...This will show you how to install programs and setting up Ubuntu for you
[04:46] <turf_ph> Arrick: if there is a reply you have net access
[04:47] <nickrud> !replacetotem
[04:47] <ubotu> from memory, replacetotem is 'sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libtotem*', install mplayer (see !mplayer), install mozilla-mplayer
[04:47] <nickrud> Mabus06, that ubotu factiod above was for you
[04:48] <sgleo87> when I open an Office XP word file in Open Office 2.0 in Ubuntu the page breaks are slightly differnt (but after 10 pages it makes a half a page difference). Why is that and how can I fix that?
[04:48] <Mischevious> anyone here have an ipod nano ?
[04:48] <brenner> sbartleylinux: what did you try for the ati and fglrx drivers?
[04:49] <sbartleylinux> brenner, I followed the ubuntu wiki for BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[04:49] <NickGarvey> !ipod
[04:49] <ubotu> info for syncing your iPod is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[04:49] <brenner> sbartleylinux: ok 1st of all.  i don't know if it being a 64bit system matters.  have you check that?
[04:50] <criminy> How can I get the ipodvidenc work with Realmedia files?
[04:50] <sbartleylinux> brenner, nope.  only reset to vesa and got it running that way so I could get online and try to figure it out.
[04:51] <dj-fu> Mischevious, yes, I do.
[04:52] <brenner> sbartleylinux: ok, let's assume it doesn't matter.  which one did you try?  the repos driver?  the ati.com driver? both?
[04:52] <Arrick_> brenner: I got information from the yahoo server
[04:52] <sbartleylinux> brenner, so far, just the repos driver.
[04:52] <Arrick_> brenner: it gave me the IP addy and all that
[04:53] <Jerub> :q
[04:53] <brenner> Arrick: that's good.  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:53] <Arrick_> how do I get out of the ping?
[04:53] <brenner> sbartleylinux: the repos driver didn't work for me.  the ati.com one did
[04:53] <brenner> Arrick: ctrl+c
[04:54] <sbartleylinux> brenner, k. will try that next. thx.
[04:54] <Arrick_> brenner: thanks
[04:54] <Rawplayer> re
[04:54] <Arrick_> brenner: it wants a password?
[04:55] <brenner> Arrick: type your password
[04:55] <Arrick_> brenner: comand not found
[04:55] <brenner> Arrick: what's the full error?
[04:55] <nomin> how do I have the date clock appear?  I thought I had a date and a clock but now they are gone.  How do I make them reappear?
[04:55] <Arrick_> brenner: got it, had a typo
[04:56] <brenner> Arrick: ok, edit the file so it looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047
[04:56] <brenner> nomin: right-click on panel>add to panel
[04:57] <Arrick_> brenner: which file, this is a whole page
[04:58] <nomin> thanks brenner
[04:58] <nomin> wow, there are a lot of user in this room.
[04:58] <nomin> *users
[04:58] <brenner> Arrick: you need to make that file look like the contents of the pastebin link
[04:59] <Arrick_> brenner: remember I am a newbie, what does the paste bin look like?
[04:59] <Strayhikari> Hello, noob here with a couple questions if anyone has a second?
[04:59] <dj-fu> just ask
[04:59] <nickrud> brenner, cutting & pasting from the bottom block works really well
[04:59] <sgleo87> when I open an Office XP word file in Open Office 2.0 in Ubuntu the page breaks are slightly differnt (but after 10 pages it makes a half a page difference). Why is that and how can I fix that?
[05:00] <GNU_Style> can I compile and mane xconfig the kernel on another hdd not in usr/src --- cause my / is low on space
[05:00] <brenner> nickrud: he doesn't have a gui atm
[05:00] <nickrud> oh
[05:00] <brenner> nickrud: i'm trying to get him to enable universe actually...
[05:00] <brenner> or whatever it is so he can get xubuntu-desktop
[05:00] <Strayhikari> I installed ubuntu 5.10 on a laptop, and just recently hooked a monitor up to it, ubuntu mirrors the image from the laptop screen onto the plugged in monitor, is there any way to tell it to default to the plugged in monitor when it is plugged in?
[05:00] <nickrud> brenner, lines 19 & 20, uncomment them if he already has standard sources (add multiverse to the end while he's at it)
[05:01] <brenner> nickrud: thanks
[05:01] <brenner> Arrick: what nickrud said :)
[05:01] <ArIeZ> anyone in here know how i can convert a .sh dos file to a nix file
[05:02] <Arrick_> brenner: how do I uncomment them?
[05:02] <brenner> ArIeZ: isn't that just a shell script?
[05:02] <brenner> Arrick: anything with a # in front is commented
[05:03] <Arrick_> brenner: do I want to uncomment just 19 & 20?
[05:03] <Falstius> ArIeZ: dos2unix file.sh
[05:04] <Arrick_> brenner line 20 is blank
[05:04] <brenner> Arrick: yes.  and add the word multiverse to the end
[05:04] <Aisi> Arrick_, should be lines 18 and 19
[05:04] <Falstius> ArIeZ: that is assuming by DOS file you mean a file with the file line endings.
[05:04] <brenner> Arrick: you might want to comment out the cdrom line while you're at it too
[05:04] <sbartleylinux> brenner, I am trying to follow the ati driver install instructions.  Small problem.  My resolution is currently set to 1024x768 which is as large as it will go.  The tool for the ati installer wont give me access to the buttons.
[05:04] <pulgoki> .
[05:05] <brenner> sbartleylinux: hold alt, and click anywhere on the window to move it
[05:05] <sbartleylinux> brenner, the buttons are off the bottom of the screen, I cant resize the window and the window is too big to see the bottom.
[05:05] <sbartleylinux> k. will try that.
[05:05] <GNU_Style> how do I use chmod to change file group and ownership?
[05:05] <Strayhikari> Does anyone know how to change monitor output to a different monitor in linux?
[05:05] <whyameye_> is there a way to "mount" a network drive as if it is local?
[05:05] <Consty> What's the best way to add dma for my harddrive?  just add the hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc to a startup file or are there any places it should actually go?
[05:05] <Arrick_> brenner: I uncommented 18 and 19, but I dont have a multiverse
[05:05] <GNU_Style> I want to chmod linux-source.tar.bz2 to let myself and src group own it?
[05:06] <GNU_Style> how to do that?
[05:06] <Arrick_> brenner: I also comented out the cd-rom
[05:06] <sbartleylinux> brenner, yep that worked.
[05:06] <brenner> Consty: /etc/hdparm.conf
[05:06] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: chmod user: linux-source.tar.bz2
[05:06] <NickGarvey> would make the user own it, and what ever group he is in own it
[05:06] <Aisi> Arrick_, add the word multiverse to the end of those lines, in the same way that universe is at the end of those lines
[05:06] <GNU_Style> and for the group?
[05:06] <Consty> brenner, thanks
[05:06] <Falstius> NickGarvey: you mean chown, right?
[05:06] <brenner> Aisi: thanks for chipping in
[05:07] <Arrick_> Aisi: do I replace the unverse?
[05:07] <Aisi> Arrick_, no
[05:07] <Aisi> brenner, np
[05:07] <NeverDream> I need some help with cdrecord
[05:07] <NeverDream> how do I find out my device name?
[05:07] <NeverDream> if I run $cdrecord dev=help
[05:07] <ArIeZ> yeah the file ending is .sh
[05:07] <Strayhikari> My other question is when you set up a share for windows machines on a LAN, and you try to connect to it, and it asks for an ID/pass and I use one I created on the linux box, it doesn't seem to work, is that because windows puts the machine name in front of the user? machine/user when it identifies?
[05:07] <NeverDream> it shows 1,2,0
[05:07] <GNU_Style> nickgarvey it says to few arguments
[05:07] <Arrick_> Aisi: so i just add the multiverse to the end?
[05:08] <NickGarvey> yeah sorry, he said chmod so I said chmod
[05:08] <NeverDream> but it refuses to blank the disk
[05:08] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: its chown, not mod
[05:08] <MrCollins> Strayhikari you gotta create a user on the win32 box
[05:08] <Strayhikari> ok, trying it MrCollins
[05:08] <Aisi> Arrick_, yep, and to save the file in nano press ctrl-o,   to exit: ctrl-x
[05:08] <ArIeZ> anyone in here use frostwire
[05:08] <brenner> Arrick: yes
[05:09] <IamEthos> top three media players for Ubuntu: go!
[05:09] <GNU_Style> chown: changing ownership of `linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2': Operation not permitted
[05:09] <Frogzoo> ArIeZ: yep
[05:09] <ArIeZ> hi frogzoo
[05:09] <IamEthos> :-(
[05:09] <NeverDream> ahh, nevermind, I got it :)
[05:09] <Hobbsee> GNU_Style: stick sudo in front of it?
[05:09] <ArIeZ> did you have to convert the runfrost.sh file
[05:09] <GNU_Style> i used chmod <user>: <filename.tar.bz2>
[05:09] <IamEthos> I expected everybody to quickly shout their favorites
[05:09] <IamEthos> I thought it was going to start a conversation
[05:09] <GNU_Style> i used ----- sudo chmod <user>: <filename.tar.bz2>
[05:09] <brenner> !tell IamEthos about players
[05:09] <GNU_Style> still the same error
[05:10] <Arrick_> Aisi: I only add multiverse to the end of the lines that I uncommented right?
[05:10] <Strayhikari> MrCollins: Do you need to have the samba client installed in windows? or just make a regular windows user?
[05:10] <MrCollins> regular windows user
[05:10] <GNU_Style> guys?
[05:10] <Frogzoo> ArIeZ: yes indeed - dos2unix
[05:10] <Cyorxamp> !paste
[05:10] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[05:11] <Nico`Sleep> My Delivery hasnt came...
[05:11] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: don't use chmod, use chown
[05:11] <Nico`Sleep> Its been over 6 weeks
[05:11] <Aisi> Arrick_, yes... assuming what you have done is what brenner and I think/hope you have :)
[05:11] <sbartleylinux> brenner, sorry for all the questions.  Next issue is that the install wants the local kernel headers.  kernel running is the 2.6.12-10-amd64-generic.  ubuntu package list does not include headers for this kernel yet it appears.
[05:11] <ArIeZ> frogzoo: could you tell me the best way i can do that
[05:11] <Arrick_> Aisi: I took the # off the lines 18 and 19, then added multiverse to the end of those two lines
[05:12] <Arrick_> Aisi: then saved it like you said and exited
[05:12] <Frogzoo> ArIeZ: sudo dos2unix /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrost.sh
[05:12] <Arrick_> brenner: Aisi: whats next?
[05:12] <Aisi> Arrick_, good. now type sudo apt-get update
[05:12] <MrCollins> Strayhikari did it work
[05:12] <brenner> sbartleylinux: *nod* which was what i sort of feared at the start....maybe 64bit isn't supported?
[05:12] <GNU_Style> i used chown, still the same eroor
[05:13] <Strayhikari> MrCollins: negative, although I didn't see your response to my last post
[05:13] <Arrick_> Aisi: ok its working right now
[05:13] <MrCollins> what was your last post
[05:13] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: paste bin the command and output
[05:13] <sbartleylinux> brenner, *LK*(&^^(
[05:13] <IamEthos> brenner (or anyone); do you happen to know which ones supoort the Zen Micro?
[05:13] <ArIeZ> Frogzoo: its asking for a password but wont let me type anything in
[05:13] <IamEthos> I know Banshee does
[05:13] <sbartleylinux> brenner, :)
[05:13] <ArIeZ> you know why??
[05:13] <Aisi> Arrick_, good. make sure to abuse us if it doesn't ;) (very easy to get things wrong over irc)
[05:14] <Strayhikari> MrCollins: Whether I needed to install the samba client in windows, or if just creating a windows user would do
[05:14] <Frogzoo> ArIeZ: you need to enter your user password - this is standard for sudo
[05:14] <MrCollins> just regular windows user
[05:14] <ArIeZ> yeah i know but it wont let me type nothing
[05:14] <MrCollins> form it in the computer management
[05:14] <Strayhikari> ok I did that
[05:14] <NeverDream> on third thought, I still need help :S
[05:14] <brenner> sbartleylinux: hang on.  look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[05:14] <Arrick_> Aisi: ok, whats next?
[05:14] <Strayhikari> when i type it in though, and if fails it is putting the machine name/user is that ok?
[05:14] <GNU_Style> http://pastebin.com/621170
[05:14] <MrCollins> and is it still not letting you in
[05:14] <Aisi> Arrick_, i'll leave the rest to brenner, because the rest is his show. i just jumped in to help with the editing of the souces.list
[05:14] <birdfish> If I install ubuntu without in "server mode" is there a command that I can use through apt-get to install the new gnome 2.14 desktop?
[05:15] <Arrick_> Aisi: thanks I appreciate it
[05:15] <Strayhikari> not letting me on
[05:15] <NickGarvey> birdfish: why yes
[05:15] <brenner> sbartleylinux: there's something about 64bit there
[05:15] <NickGarvey> birdfish: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:15] <NeverDream> cdrecord gives me a "Cannot open SCSI driver"
[05:15] <Arrick_> brenner: you got the show now
[05:15] <birdfish> NickGarvey: And that's gnome 2.14?
[05:15] <MrCollins> do you have the same user you are logged in as setup on the linux box
[05:15] <Strayhikari> no, different user
[05:15] <Arrick_> brenner: whats next, I just updated by using sudo apt-get update
[05:15] <brenner> Arrick: ok, let's install a desktop environment: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:15] <MrCollins> ok
[05:15] <Strayhikari> does it need to be the same?
[05:15] <GNU_Style> nickgarvey:wat do you think?
[05:16] <MrCollins> on the win32 box login as the same user name that you have on the linux box
[05:16] <MrCollins> should let you in]
[05:16] <Frogzoo> ArIeZ: so no prompt "Password:"  ?
[05:16] <NeverDream> can anyone help me with cdrecord?
[05:16] <Arrick_> brenner: working
[05:16] <MrCollins> but do you have your user setup on the linux box setup as a samba user?
[05:16] <Strayhikari> ok trying it
[05:16] <MrCollins> permission to view samba shares?
[05:16] <NickGarvey> Operation not permitted is interesting..
[05:17] <NickGarvey> worked fine for me
[05:17] <Arrick_> brenner: I appreciate all the help you've given me tonight, adn today for that matter

[05:19] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: do a ls -l and put the output on pastebin
[05:19] <Arrick> had 2 tabs open
[05:19] <Strayhikari> perhaps I'm not setting up the share correctly?
[05:19] <MrCollins> on the linux box does the user have access to samba shares?
[05:19] <Strayhikari> I believe so, I'm very new to linux though, how woudl I check?
[05:20] <dj-fu> do this
[05:20] <dj-fu> smbpasswd -a <user>
[05:20] <dj-fu> then set the password for the share
[05:20] <ArIeZ> sudo dos2unix /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrost.sh i typed that
[05:20] <Strayhikari> k trying it
[05:20] <dj-fu> then you should be able to access it fine from other machines
[05:20] <ArIeZ> prompt me for password
[05:20] <ArIeZ> typed it in
[05:20] <dj-fu> (with the <user> and password, though)
[05:20] <MrCollins> dj-fu where does he check in ubuntu for user permissions?
[05:20] <ArIeZ> now it says dos2unix command not found
[05:20] <Arrick> brenner: will I have to manually load the usb drivers for my printer?
[05:20] <_jason> ArIeZ: sudo aptitude install sysutils, then try again
[05:21] <dj-fu> MrCollins, check what?
[05:21] <MrCollins> where in ubuntu gui would he check for user permissions
[05:21] <brenner> Arrick: not sure to be honest.
[05:22] <Arrick> brenner: ok
[05:22] <Strayhikari> ok retrying it
[05:22] <Arrick> brenner: will pass that bridge when i get to it then
[05:22] <MrCollins> where is the user administration gui
[05:22] <MrCollins> lol
[05:22] <dj-fu> MrCollins, what user permissions?
[05:22] <Strayhikari> nice it worked dj-fu thanks a bunch
[05:22] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: http://pastebin.com/621174
[05:22] <dj-fu> Strayhikari, not a problem :)
[05:22] <Arrick> brenner: at 31% right now on my dinosaur
[05:23] <dj-fu> Strayhikari, I don't think samba likes doing non-authenticated file sharing.. I have always had trouble so I just do that method ;P
[05:23] <Strayhikari> works for me :)
[05:23] <nickrud> MrCollins, for permissions, right click the file, and select properties; and user admin is under system->administration
[05:23] <Strayhikari> Thanks to you too MrCollins
[05:23] <NickGarvey> I win
[05:23] <NickGarvey> I know why
[05:23] <Consty> does breezy use devfs or udev?
[05:23] <alpha255> dj-fu, i find that my machines benfit from having a hosts file on private networks
[05:23] <NickGarvey> you are in /media/sda7
[05:23] <alpha255> dj-fu, like behind a nat
[05:24] <Strayhikari> Neither of you woudl have any idea how to make a laptop output video to a monitor plugged into it rather than mirroring it on the lcd and the monitor do you?
[05:24] <MrCollins> ahhh thx NickGarvey
[05:24] <dj-fu> Strayhikari, what kind of graphics card?
[05:24] <NickGarvey> I bet you don't have write access to that mount
[05:24] <MrCollins> yeah
[05:24] <alpha255> dj-fu, i think samba likes knowing fqdn
[05:24] <dj-fu> Strayhikari, with nvidia & ati it's easy
[05:24] <NickGarvey> anytime MrCollins:-P
[05:24] <brenner> _jason: are you familiar w/ server installs?
[05:24] <MrCollins> it should be a combination of button pressing
[05:24] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: type mount and pastebin the output
[05:24] <dj-fu> alpha255, samba pwns, it's more secure out of the box than windows file sharing :p
[05:24] <Arrick> strayhikari: you have to disable the onboard monitor in the display settings
[05:24] <_jason> brenner: not really, what's the question though?
[05:24] <MrCollins> on the laptop
[05:24] <Strayhikari> dj-fu this laptop has a really really old ati card
[05:24] <MrCollins> there is a FN button
[05:25] <alpha255> dj-fu, ya, i like samba
[05:25] <MrCollins> press the FN button then the i think its F3
[05:25] <brenner> _jason: was i right in recommending Arrick install xubuntu-desktop to get a lightweight desktop going?
[05:25] <MrCollins> ?
[05:25] <MrCollins> maybe its F4
[05:25] <_jason> brenner: yeah
[05:25] <alpha255> dj-fu, it helps bring windows users into the linux world
[05:25] <dj-fu> Strayhikari, what driver? fglrx?
[05:25] <brenner> ok then
[05:25] <dj-fu> alpha255, yep :)
[05:25] <ArIeZ> working; thanks frogzoo and jason
[05:25] <alpha255> dj-fu, plus john trig and jerremy are great guys
[05:25] <dj-fu> alpha255, sorry, not sure who they are ;x
[05:26] <jadaz87> does anyone know if there is a memory manager for ubuntu because i think i need one badly
[05:26] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: http://pastebin.com/621178
[05:26] <alpha255> main folks behind samba
[05:26] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: what do you think?
[05:26] <MrCollins> F2?
[05:26] <MrCollins> Strayhikari did it work
[05:26] <alpha255> trig was the guy who started samba from wha t i can tell
[05:26] <NickGarvey> nope I am wrong
[05:26] <NickGarvey> I thought I had it too
[05:26] <alpha255> also wrote up swat when folks complained about no gui for samba
[05:27] <NickGarvey> /dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000)
[05:27] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: that looks good to me
[05:27] <dj-fu> alpha255, ah, i see.
[05:27] <MrCollins> ahh cool
[05:27] <MrCollins> is that trig guy hang in this channel
[05:27] <sgleo87> when I open an Office XP word file in Open Office 2.0 in Ubuntu the page breaks are slightly differnt (but after 10 pages it makes a half a page difference). Why is that and how can I fix that?
[05:27] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: why are you putting the linux source on a drive like that anyway heh
[05:27] <dj-fu> I doubt it, He probably doesn't wanna be bugged
[05:27] <alpha255> john terpstra is a great guy... writes good books and an overall promoter of linux gnu software
[05:28] <sbartleylinux> well, off to reboot and try this ati configuration.  bbiab
[05:28] <Consty> does breezy use udev or devfs?
[05:28] <GNU_Style> my '/' is low on spce i want to extract my the tarball aand complie from /dev/sda7
[05:28] <nickrud> Consty, udev
[05:29] <regeya> sgleo87: OOo isn't Office XP, there may be different typefaces in use, and if they're the same XP and Freetype may not be treating the fonts the same...um...*shrug*
[05:29] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: hmm alright, let me try to think why it would work for me and not you, that seems to be a permission error
[05:29] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: cd to the upper dir and tell me the permissions on that
[05:29] <GNU_Style> im unable to 'tar .tar.bz2' cause I dont have permission..
[05:29] <phrizer> i just did an upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10, and at the end i got:
[05:29] <phrizer> Errors were encountered while processing:
[05:29] <phrizer>  ubuntu-base
[05:29] <phrizer>  mozilla-firefox
[05:29] <brenner> dj-fu, alpha255 :would you guys mind helping out Arrick?  i think he's trying to get a print server up and samba was recommended by a couple of guys.  i've just told him to get xubuntu-desktop to get a working desktop running.  does he even need a gui for what he needs?
[05:30] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: http://pastebin.com/621186
[05:30] <dj-fu> hrm
[05:30] <sgleo87> regeya: the fonts are the same but I guess it still makes a difference...
[05:30] <regeya> sgleo87: heck, I get Office documents from amateur typesetters all the time, and there are even significant between Office XP and Office on Mac...you may be forced to do a bit of editing by hand.
[05:30] <phrizer> what do i need to do?
[05:30] <NickGarvey> try to "chown -R user: ./kernel"
[05:30] <alpha255> brenner, nope, he needs to install the bare minimum and samba's swat
[05:31] <sgleo87> regeya: is it possible to install office xp on ubuntu
[05:31] <alpha255> brenner, then open up swat to a specific ip address
[05:31] <dj-fu> brenner, samba will be good for compatibility, I find the default 'gnome' printer configuration works a treat, tested it the other day and it worked fine. I am on Dapper, though.
[05:31] <brenner> Arrick: you listening?
[05:31] <Arrick> yeah
[05:31] <dj-fu> O
[05:31] <Strayhikari> lol that did not work as intended
[05:31] <sgleo87> regeya: maybe with an wine?
[05:31] <dj-fu> I'm not sure how to manually configure a print server, though.
[05:32] <brenner> dj-fu: thing is he's on a 64mb system.  which is why i recommended the server installl + xfce
[05:32] <Arrick> once I gte the software I need I can perform that part, just have to get all the parts and peices together
[05:32] <alpha255> dj-fu, point a web browser to the print server box with apache running i think it is on port 901 or somet hing like that
[05:32] <alpha255> ej <IP_ADDRESS>:901
[05:32] <alpha255> eg
[05:32] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: http://pastebin.com/621188
[05:32] <alpha255> might have to configure swat to respond to requests other than localhost
[05:33] <Strayhikari> Is there anyway to force a higher resolution? It is limiting itself to the same resolution as teh laptop screen :(
[05:33] <Arrick> yep
[05:33] <alpha255> Arrick, look at samb.org
[05:33] <Arrick> ok
[05:33] <alpha255> Arrick, you can read John Terpstra's book there
[05:33] <NickGarvey> ok GNU_Style try this "touch ./test"
[05:33] <alpha255> Arrick, excellent book
[05:33] <alpha255> Arrick, buy and/or tell your friends about it
[05:33] <blueOrange> can anyone tell me how to edit the xorg.conf file to enable svideo output on a laptop ?
[05:34] <alpha255> Arrick, or read it for free and help others
[05:34] <alpha255> :)
[05:34] <NickGarvey> alpha255: what book? is it something samba involving?
[05:34] <Arrick> that site redirects you to http://redir-error.gandi.net/
[05:34] <brenner> Arrick: i need to go. good luck!
[05:34] <Arrick> you too, great hunting next time, heh
[05:34] <alpha255> NickGarvey, offical samba 3 book is there last time I looked
[05:34] <alpha255> in html
[05:34] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: nothing happens
[05:35] <Arrick> alpha255: samb.org redirects you to http://redir-error.gandi.net/
[05:35] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: now type ls | grep test
[05:35] <NickGarvey> "ls | grep test"
[05:35] <damian_> hi im trying to run oldschool larry for dos whats best to use? can wine also run dos programs?
[05:35] <sgleo87> is it possible to install office 2003 in ubuntu?
[05:35] <Aisi> Arrick, I suspect he meant samba.org
[05:35] <damian_> sgleo87 yes
[05:35] <NickGarvey> !oo.org
[05:35] <Arrick> ok thanks
[05:35] <ubotu> Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, NickGarvey
[05:35] <alpha255> NickGarvey, its under learning on the left hand colum.... http://us4.samba.org/samba/
[05:35] <NickGarvey> !openoffice

[05:35] <damian_> sgleo87 crossover office
[05:36] <alpha255> Arrick, http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id2520441
[05:36] <Arrick> next thing is to download samba once the gui is loaded
[05:36] <NickGarvey> alpha255: thanks, I am playing with samba now, hoping to get some linux computer in my school during my senior year (2 years to go ;))
[05:36] <alpha255> Arrick, that's the swat secton
[05:36] <damian_> but yeah why bother...openoffice\
[05:36] <Arrick> ok thanke
[05:36] <alpha255> NickGarvey, np have fun with it
[05:36] <alpha255> :)
[05:37] <sgleo87> well, the problem is that the page breaks are different in openoffice and I also have to do stuff for college spcifically in MS Access or Excel
[05:37] <eobanb> can i use a wireless card as an access point if i'm using it with ndiswrapper?
[05:37] <Arrick> NickGarvey: university of Pheonix has some linux courses you can take while in high school
[05:37] <live> hello
[05:37] <damian_> oh k well yeah search google for crossover office
[05:38] <alpha255> is there a local linux user group there?
[05:38] <damian_> openoffice CAN load and save msoffice files btw
[05:38] <damian_> hi im trying to run oldschool larry for dos whats best to use? can wine also run dos programs?
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> XXXubuntu - with Porn Icons? :p
[05:38] <linuxpoet> damian_: freedos
[05:38] <damian_> thanks
[05:38] <linuxpoet> Dr_Willis:  no... Xubuntu as in XfceUbuntu
[05:39] <damian_> and dos emulators are all standard as in they all will run atleast 95% programs?
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> linuxpoet,  My idea is more interesting. :P
[05:39] <linuxpoet> damian_: freedos is not an emulator
[05:39] <damian_> oh
[05:39] <eobanb> uhh yes it is
[05:39] <Arrick> alpha255: were you talking to me with that question?
[05:39] <damian_> i need something of the ttype to run inside of linux
[05:39] <nick_here> i have just installed ubuntu 5.10
[05:40] <eobanb> oh, wait, sorry, i thought you meant dosbox
[05:40] <nick_here> and never asked for a root password during installation
[05:40] <alpha255> Arrick, the user group yes
[05:40] <Toma-> !qemu
[05:40] <ubotu> somebody said qemu was an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo or http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=200357&postcount=1
[05:40] <linuxpoet> no, not dosbox
[05:40] <linuxpoet> freedos
[05:40] <linuxpoet> www.freedos.org
[05:40] <nick_here> now asks me for a root password for mounting my disks
[05:40] <damian_> will that install inside of linux?
[05:40] <Arrick> yeah, they have a pretty big online group, and also a pretty big lab setup
[05:41] <linuxpoet> damian_: I believe so
[05:41] <damian_> cool
[05:41] <Arrick> they teach linux and unix, and gaurantee you can run wnything you want whn your done
[05:41] <alpha255> Arrick, that's pretty
[05:41] <alpha255> good
[05:41] <linuxpoet> ubotu: qemu is ungodly slow... just buy vmware if that is what you are going to do
[05:41] <ubotu> ...but qemu is already something else...
[05:41] <alpha255> diversity is good
[05:42] <GNU_Style> ls grep | test -- says test
[05:42] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: thats good and bad
[05:42] <NickGarvey> means it worked
[05:42] <NickGarvey> but that also means I don't know why its not working
[05:43] <damian_> nope its an operating system have to install it via cd  and boot ti
[05:43] <NickGarvey> could be this stuff noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000
[05:43] <Arrick> alpha255: I kinda wish I had gone there instead of going to Western Michigan University
[05:43] <damian_> never mind dosbox used that before but forgot...ill get that
[05:43] <MrBIOS-> hi there, I just added some stuff to my /etc/hdparm.conf for /dev/hda and it doesn't seem to have actually used it
[05:43] <MrBIOS-> any thoughts?
[05:43] <alpha255> Arrick, is that close to umich?
[05:43] <Arrick> alpha255: I have a lot of friends that went there though
[05:44] <linuxpoet> MrBIOS-: did you reboot?
[05:44] <Arrick> UoP is mostly online, but the have campuses all over the US
[05:44] <MrBIOS-> linuxpoet, of course
[05:44] <linuxpoet> MrBIOS-: you never know :)
[05:44] <MrBIOS-> linuxpoet, heh
[05:44] <NickGarvey> the old windows standby, when in doubt, REBOOT!
[05:44] <American> I Need help configuring getting check.sh to work so I can get ATI drivers.
[05:44] <Arrick> Umich is not too far from WMU though
[05:44] <MrBIOS-> linuxpoet, but the file wasn't used
[05:45] <MrBIOS-> linuxpoet, what actually use /etc/hdparm.conf on bootup? which script?
[05:45] <alpha255> NickGarvey, server somedamond reload
[05:45] <linuxpoet> MrBIOS-: hmmm
[05:45] <linuxpoet> MrBIOS-: I don't see any init script calling it
[05:45] <MrBIOS-> linuxpoet, there is /etc/init.d/hdparm
[05:45] <razorclaw> can breezy be upgraded to drapper ?
[05:45] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: I just did a apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:45] <linuxpoet>  Please read /usr/share/doc/hdparm/README.Debian
[05:45] <MrBIOS-> linuxpoet, oops no there isnt
[05:45] <linuxpoet> razorclaw: yes
[05:46] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: results?
[05:46] <alpha255> razorclaw, i read about that in the forum... in theory it should
[05:46] <linuxpoet> I am running dapper right now
[05:46] <linuxpoet> upgraded from hoary to breezy to dapper
[05:46] <linuxpoet> worked great
[05:46] <Toma-> anyone ever converted a dvd to asf before? mencoder is the go?
[05:46] <joseph> How do I get the opendocument format plugin for AbiWord?
[05:47] <alpha255> linuxpoet, was that a stock install?
[05:47] <Falstius> go blue.
[05:47] <razorclaw> linuxboy, just change the entries inside of sources.list ?
[05:47] <alpha255> linuxpoet, laptop?
[05:47] <American> anyone?
[05:47] <Arrick> alpha255: is my scren supposed to go blank when the xubuntu is done downloading?
[05:47] <linuxpoet> no not a laptpo
[05:47] <linuxpoet> two different workstations
[05:47] <Hobbsee> !tell American about anyone
[05:48] <alpha255> Arrick, might be screensaver
[05:48] <linuxpoet> one was an Nividia based (needed the 2.6.15 kernel which is why I tried it)
[05:48] <linuxpoet> one is ati
[05:48] <alpha255> Arrick, not sure
[05:48] <Arrick> ook
[05:48] <MrBIOS-> what runlevel does ubuntu INITIALLY come up in?
[05:48] <Arrick> it came back on when I hit enter
[05:48] <alpha255> linuxpoet, nice
[05:48] <crimsun> MrBIOS-: 2
[05:48] <NickGarvey> MrBIOS-: 5 I believe
[05:48] <NickGarvey> or not
[05:48] <American> sorry
[05:48] <NickGarvey> hes probably right
[05:48] <alpha255> MrBIOS-, less /etc/inittab will show the default
[05:48] <NickGarvey> I'd bet money on it
[05:48] <Falstius> MrBIOS-: 2, you can check in the file /etc/inittab.
[05:49] <MrBIOS-> some fucking thing is polling my HD every few seconds
[05:49] <MrBIOS-> on this notebok
[05:49] <NickGarvey> !language
[05:49] <ubotu> Please watch your language. We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[05:49] <MrBIOS-> very annoying
[05:49] <alpha255> MrBIOS-, how much memory?
[05:49] <Falstius> is 2 a Debian thing or just Ubuntu?  I'm from a 3/5 world of redhat.
[05:50] <alpha255> my guess is from debian
[05:50] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: I found something out, if I use chown and chgrp on <filename.tar.bx2> on my /home it works
[05:50] <MrBIOS-> alpha 1GB
[05:50] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: it better!
[05:50] <Arrick> alpha255: I just got a fontconfig error: cannot load defult config file
[05:50] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: that would be a huge problem
[05:50] <alpha255> MrBIOS-, nice!
[05:50] <Toma-> gosh qemu is great fun :)
[05:51] <GNU_Style> NickGarvey: once I move it to /media/sda7 it automatically change ownership and group to root,
[05:51] <Gau> Graah
[05:51] <GNU_Style> I wonder why?
[05:51] <Gau> I just wanna play an mp3 while booted from my Ubuntu livecd :(
[05:51] <NickGarvey> GNU_Style: no idea, think its over my head
[05:51] <NickGarvey> !mp3
[05:51] <ubotu> mp3 is probably a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:51] <MrBIOS-> is there a packaged amiga emulator for ubuntu?
[05:51] <Falstius> GNU_Style: is sda7 fat/msdos filesystem?
[05:51] <Toma-> MrBIOS-: id say so
[05:51] <joseph> How do I get the opendocument format plugin for AbiWord?
[05:52] <GNU_Style> it a vfat
[05:52] <jesusfish> anyone here know what options do what for compiz via gconf-editor?
[05:52] <GNU_Style> Falstius: its a FAT32
[05:52] <alpha255> Arrick, hummm
[05:52] <benkillin> what is the nameof the media player that comes with ubuntu-desktop
[05:52] <Toma-> !glx
[05:52] <ubotu> Toma-: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:52] <Toma-> !xgl
[05:52] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[05:52] <Toma-> jesusfish: see that howto
[05:52] <alpha255> Arrick, is there a backup of xorg.conf file?
[05:52] <Falstius> GNU_Style: fat32 doesn't support permissions/ownership so everything just gets displayed as who mounted it.
[05:52] <alpha255> Arrick, you were installing ati drivers right?
[05:52] <American> that was me
[05:52] <Arrick> alpha255: nope
[05:52] <American> with ATI
[05:53] <Arrick> i was installing the xubuntu
[05:53] <alpha255> Arrick, oh downloading
[05:53] <Falstius> benkillin: totoem and rhythmbox.
[05:53] <Falstius> er totem
[05:53] <GNU_Style> so how can I mount my /dev/sda7 as gfx username?
[05:53] <benkillin> do either of those support WMP video/audio format streaming content (as a client)?
[05:53] <Toma-> anyone know how to get metacity windows to stick together?
[05:53] <jesusfish> Toma-: that doesn't really go into gconf-editor settings
[05:54] <alpha255> Arrick, is the hardware new?
[05:54] <Toma-> jesusfish: well try in #ubuntu+1 or @xgl
[05:54] <Toma-> orr #xgl
[05:54] <Arrick> heck no
[05:54] <Falstius> GNU_Style: ummm ... good question.  You can do it from the command line, but I assume you want it to do that automatically at boot.
[05:54] <alpha255> lol
[05:54] <alpha255> Arrick, ya, i use older stuff too
[05:54] <GNU_Style> Falstius: It says on root can mount
[05:54] <Arrick> alpha255: this thin is a dell optiplex pentium mmx with 64 mgs of ram
[05:55] <alpha255> Arrick, oooh 64 might be a bit on the thin side
[05:55] <Arrick> i only want it to run as a file/print server when Im done
[05:55] <Arrick> I know its thin, but its what I have for now
[05:55] <alpha255> Arrick, ahh, boot to network only
[05:55] <Toma-> fluxbox and 64mb are a match made in heaven
[05:55] <alpha255> etc/inittab
[05:55] <alpha255> ssh to the box
[05:56] <phrizer> i just upgraded from 5.04 to 5.10, and now i'm missing lots of icons, like, my trash icon, and place's and system icons.
[05:56] <Arrick> alpha255: I did, and then brenner had me download the xubuntu gui, cause im so new
[05:56] <alpha255> Arrick, oh, you are a new at this...
[05:56] <Arrick> very new
[05:56] <alpha255> Arrick, ahh makes sense then
[05:56] <Arrick> as in today
[05:56] <alpha255> Arrick, gui s are nice
[05:56] <alpha255> Arrick, oh boy
[05:56] <Falstius> GNU_Style: to mount it as yourself you'd need to etc /etc/fstab and add the "user" option.
[05:56] <Arrick> but they are so doggone slow
[05:57] <benkillin> Does either totem or rhymbox support windows media format streaming content (as a client)?
[05:57] <alpha255> Arrick, it takes a little while to learn linux
[05:57] <Arrick> yeah, I know
[05:57] <alpha255> and gnu
[05:57] <Falstius> GNU_Style: whats wrong with having it owned by root?
[05:57] <Arrick> alpha255: I've been trying to learn all I could today
[05:58] <GNU_Style> Falstius: im trying to extract a tar.bz2 file in /dev/sda7 but ut says something about permissions
[05:58] <Arrick> alpha255: have redone this thing 5 times today using peoples advice
[05:58] <alpha255> Arrick, good
[05:58] <GNU_Style> /dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000)
[05:58] <GNU_Style> /dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000)
[05:58] <GNU_Style> /dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000)
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> It pays to learn the Fundamentals.. the rest follows.
[05:58] <alpha255> Arrick, lean anything?
[05:58] <NickGarvey> !paste
[05:58] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[05:58] <Arrick> yeah
[05:58] <GNU_Style> Falstius: /dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000)
[05:58] <linuxpoet> xubuntu rocks
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> xfce. Ugh. :P
[05:59] <Falstius> GNU_Style: that looks okay (but I read it the first 3 times ;))
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> lol
[05:59] <Arrick> alpha255: try to get info from more than one source
[05:59] <linuxpoet> xfce is great
[05:59] <linuxpoet> stays completely out of your way
[05:59] <linuxpoet> is uber fast
[05:59] <Arrick> alpha255: hehe
[05:59] <NickGarvey> linuxpoet: yup my personal favorite too
[05:59] <linuxpoet> and they finally got rid of the really ugly theme :)
[05:59] <_whitay> whats the default root password
[05:59] <NickGarvey> !root
[05:59] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> sorry.. my take on xfce is not the same. :P
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> but to each their own...
[05:59] <alpha255> Arrick, fluxbox is pretty light weight too
[06:00] <MrBIOS-> does anyone here have an /etc/init.d/hdparm ?
[06:00] <NickGarvey> Dr_Willis: well I am used to flux and right click desktop for the menu, which is why I like xfce more than gnome and kde
[06:00] <American> i like enlightenment
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> !hdparm
[06:00] <alpha255> is fvwm still around?
[06:00] <alpha255> American, e is nice
[06:00] <NickGarvey> American: oh yeah, I booted elive, nice stuff
[06:00] <Arrick> alpha255: it is finishing the install of the xubuntu right at the moment
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> NickGarvey,  thats a rather trivial feature lol. :P
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> I sort of perfer WIndowMaker in many ways.. Old-Skool
[06:00] <dj-fu> _whitay, `sudo passwd root`, enter your password, enter new root password x2
[06:00] <alpha255> Arrick, give it time... a pentium w/ that small a memory will take time
[06:01] <American> Can I please get some ATI love?
[06:01] <NickGarvey> !ati
[06:01] <ubotu> ati is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[06:01] <American> thanks
[06:01] <Arrick> alpha255: I really wanted to just run the server, cause it would run quicker for the server
[06:01] <dj-fu> American, I wish ;'(
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> dj-fu,  shhh thats a secret.. if he knew how to do that.. then he would know  the secret handshake also! :p
[06:01] <linuxpoet> what is it that you need american
[06:01] <MrBIOS-> does anyone here have an /etc/init.d/hdparm ?
[06:01] <Arrick> alpha255: yeah its loading fonts right now
[06:01] <alpha255> Arrick, well you can alway uninstall the gui stuff later
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> MrBIOS-,  yes - its a script. :P
[06:02] <American> i keep trying to run sh check.sh to check my XFree86 and I cant
[06:02] <dj-fu> Dr_Willis, lol, I think the secret handshake is a little more secret than the sudo passwd root dance
[06:02] <alpha255> Arrick, i get extra machine when people throw them out
[06:02] <dcgarri> another question... sorry... I've just installed ubuntu (hoary) and upgraded to breezy... i am getting horrible dvd playback (1 frame per 6 seconds or so)... any thoughts?
[06:02] <alpha255> Arrick, it's amazing what people throw away
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> dj-fu,  the people that shouled be allowed to set the root password.. should allready know how to do it. :P its like a Initation test.
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> lol
[06:02] <Arrick> yep
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> dcgarri,  be sure dma is enabled. (type !dma or !hdparm) and read the bots messages
[06:03] <linuxpoet> Dr_Willis: that is a very good point
[06:03] <Arrick> alpha255: want to send me one, this one was a throwout too, from a elementry school that just now upgraded
[06:03] <dcgarri> !dma
[06:03] <Arrick> I would love to get a 500mhz or so for my server
[06:04] <alpha255> Arrick, i'm using most of mine
[06:04] <Arrick> I have about 200 different hd's, and only one computer that takes ide drives
[06:04] <alpha255> Arrick, surpluscomputers.com has some cheap machines
[06:04] <dager> anyone here pretty decent with wireless networking? got a tiny problem on my hands, not smart enough to solve it yet
[06:04] <alpha255> Arrick, weirdstuf too
[06:04] <Arrick> Have 2 laptops though
[06:04] <Arrick> yeah
[06:04] <Gau> Please send me one FireWire external HD
[06:04] <Arrick> hehe
[06:04] <Gau> Free of charge
[06:04] <alpha255> wow
[06:04] <Arrick> I dont have any firewire at this point
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> Gau,  heh - i gave away a external firewire drive case the other day
[06:05] <Gau> :(
[06:05] <GNU_Style> Falstius: sory for repiting,
[06:06] <GNU_Style> Falstius: what does cp /boot/config-<IP_ADDRESS>6 ./.config mean?
[06:06] <Arrick> out of 95 computers the school threw out, only 10 of them worked
[06:06] <Gau> My HD is failing; I'm running off a LiveCD right now
[06:06] <GNU_Style> Falstius: im confussed with the ./.config line?
[06:06] <Arrick> what kind do you need?
[06:06] <Arrick> send me an email with the info to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:07] <Arrick> we'll see what we can come up with
[06:08] <Shukhrat> Hello
[06:08] <NickGarvey> hello
[06:08] <alpha255> brb
[06:08] <Falstius> GNU_Style: ./.config? you're compiling a new kernel?
[06:08] <dager> Anyone know how to get a usb-dongle into monitor mode? "iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor" returns an error =(
[06:09] <MrBIOS-> does anyone here have the file /etc/init.d/hdparm on their systems?
[06:09] <MrBIOS-> I need a copy
[06:09] <Shukhrat> how to dial up with Ubuntu ?
[06:09] <Falstius> MrBIOS-: check /etc/defaults/smartmontools or something like that.
[06:09] <Absenth> can anyone point me to a how-to  to get the forward and backwards buttons on my mouse to work on Ubuntu in Firefox & Opera?
[06:09] <graig> hello
[06:09] <GNU_Style> Falstius: yah iam, and im reading the instructions from ubuntu wiki but I dont understand the ./.config part
[06:09] <MrBIOS-> Falstius, eh?
[06:09] <Shukhrat> should i have special softwere ?
[06:10] <Falstius> MrBIOS-: there should be a line in there for setting hdparm options.
[06:10] <Falstius> MrBIOS-: just poke around in the folder, you should find it.
[06:10] <Shukhrat> how to dial up with Ubuntu ?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> MrBIOS-,  that specific file is a init script.. it reads a config file.  You DONT alter that file.
[06:10] <Shukhrat> should i have special softwere ?
[06:10] <MrBIOS-> Dr_Willis, I know  that, grr
[06:11] <MrBIOS-> Dr_Willis, mine just seems to have disappeared
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> MrBIOS-,  Lol...
[06:11] <Falstius> GNU_Style: why don't you copy it to /usr/src ... you'll need it there later.
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> find what package it came in and apt-get install (reinstall it)
[06:11] <GNU_Style> my '/' is low on space
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> I forget how to do that from the shell...
[06:11] <Falstius> the .config file are options based to the make script to figure out what to include in the kernel.
[06:11] <Falstius> GNU_Style: it will take up about 300 mb after it is built.
[06:12] <jquixote> I need a way to install ubuntu on an external hard drive without a cd or floppy
[06:12] <GNU_Style> i must compile from nother hdd which is /dev/sda7 and copy it to /usr/src when its dome compiling
[06:12] <Falstius> GNU_Style: on a vfat partition?  that might cause problems.
[06:12] <Falstius> GNU_Style: why do you need a custom kernel?
[06:13] <GNU_Style> Falstius: by the way is creating a symlink to linux-sources-x-x-686 necesarry? cant I just cd in to the extract dir and work from there?
[06:13] <GNU_Style> Falstius: I want to remove un needed hardware support and enablt HT on my pentium 4
[06:14] <MrBIOS-> Dr_Willis, could I trouble you to send me a copy?
[06:14] <Falstius> GNU_Style: unless you know what you're doing you're likely to shoot yourself in the foot.  To enable HT, install the kernel-smp package.
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> MrBIOS-,  im usgin dapper5, 64bit disrto. so its not a good idea.
[06:15] <MrBIOS-> Dr_Willis, I am using dapper on x86, the file is simply a text init file, man
[06:15] <GNU_Style> Falstius: check http://pastebin.com/621230
[06:15] <Falstius> GNU_Style: I think it is called linux-image-smp or maybe linux-image-i686-smp
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> MrBIOS-,  plus i cant dcc send. Fire up Synaptic and search for 'hdparm' and reinstall it.
[06:16] <GNU_Style> Falstius: im on 2.6.12-10-686-smp now
[06:16] <Hobbsee> um...i dont think that was quite intended Seveas...
[06:16] <Falstius> GNU_Style: you can't do make because it wants to run a script but you mounted /sda7 as "noexec"
[06:16] <Falstius> remove that and fmask=111 from your fstab and it should let you.
[06:17] <Falstius> GNU_Style: like I said, doing this on fat32 will cause trouble.
[06:17] <GNU_Style> Falstius: oh ok, how can I overide the 'noexec' option?
[06:17] <fiendskull9> how do i install kde and have it choosable in the sessions manager?
[06:17] <fiendskull9> is it sudo apt-get install kde?
[06:17] <eobanb> fiendskull9, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:17] <fiendskull9> ok
[06:17] <GNU_Style> Falstius: bummer im really low on my ext3
[06:18] <eobanb> fiendskull9, it will be added to gdm's session chooser.
[06:18] <fiendskull9> will that install only the enviroment, and not all the software packages?
[06:18] <regeya> dcc
[06:18] <Falstius> GNU_Style: well it is possible, just annoying :)
[06:18] <MrBIOS-> is there a way to reinstall hdparm without first removing the package?
[06:18] <Davey> sudo apt-get reinstall hdparm
[06:18] <fiendskull9> eobanb, wil it only install the kde enviroment, and not all the kde programs?
[06:18] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: All packages.
[06:18] <Falstius> you can remount from the commandline, "sudo mount -o remount,rw,exec,umask=000 /dev/sda7 /media/sda7"
[06:18] <Davey> or it might be install --reinstall hdparm
[06:19] <MrBIOS-> Davey, reinstall is an invalid operation
[06:19] <eobanb> fiendskull9, well part of kde IS the kde programmes (e.g. konqueror)
[06:19] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: Try kdebase
[06:19] <Davey> MrBIOS-: there is an option in the right click on a package for synaptic, try install --reinstall
[06:19] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, is there a way to just get kde enviro, and not all the packages.
[06:19] <MrBIOS-> Davey, thanks, that worked
[06:19] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, ill try that
[06:19] <Davey> MrBIOS-: :)
[06:19] <neoxan> dcc
[06:19] <Davey> MrBIOS-: nice to know I learned *something* :)
[06:19] <GNU_Style> Falstius: /dev/sda7       /media/sda7     vfat    user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000        0       0
[06:19] <GNU_Style> thats in my fstab..
[06:19] <MrBIOS-> Davey, weird, I still don't have an /etc/init.d/hdparm
[06:20] <MrBIOS-> Davey, guess it's not part of the package...strange, though
[06:20] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, kdebase worked.
[06:20] <carbo> hey there
[06:20] <Davey> MrBIOS-: want mine? if I have one :)
[06:20] <MrBIOS-> Davey, it would be greatly appreciated
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: Yep.  Good stuff.  There's a gnome-core similar to that the other way.
[06:20] <Arrick> alpha255: now that the gui is installed, how do i start it?
[06:20] <carbo> how do I delete a file from a terminal? I did 'rm filename' but it still shows up when I type 'dir', although its now called 'filename~'
[06:20] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, well, i just want to try kde, i might use it on slackware
[06:21] <neoxan> dcc send
[06:21] <regeya> well.
[06:21] <Falstius> GNU_Style: if you do fmask=111 you won't be able to execute any of the scripts.
[06:21] <Falstius> you need fmask=000
[06:21] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: Ah.  Perfect for that.
[06:21] <fiendskull9> can anyone do a quick gigabyte to kilobyte to gigabyte conversion for me?
[06:21] <Arrick> Aisi: you still here?
[06:21] <Davey> MrBIOS-: http://davey.is-a-geek.com/hdparm.conf - thats a vanilla default, was installed when I upgraded to Dapper, FYI
[06:21] <regeya> I think we know why the bot is kickbanning people then.
[06:21] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: Sure.
[06:21] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, 20 gigabytes to KB
[06:21] <bennyp> hey, forgive my ignorance please. How do I make my freshly-installed breezy machine have the same network discovery method as the install/live cds?
[06:21] <MrBIOS-> Davey, not hdparm.conf, /etc/init.d/hdparm
[06:21] <Davey> oh, *duh*
[06:22] <eobanb> regeya, why?
[06:22] <MrBIOS-> Davey,  :)
[06:22] <sethrd> I broke X, and I don't know how. How do I apt-get it again?
[06:22] <Davey> no, I don't have one either, I don't think it's a daemon
[06:22] <carbo> how do I delete a file from a terminal? I did 'rm filename' but it still shows up when I type 'dir', although its now called 'filename~'
[06:22] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: 20971520
[06:22] <fiendskull9> thanks man
[06:22] <fiendskull9> i needed it for the slack install
[06:22] <fiendskull9> lol
[06:22] <fiendskull9> since it displays it in KB
[06:22] <Arrick> How do i run xubuntu on my ubuntu linux server?
[06:22] <Davey> MrBIOS-: just woke up ;)
[06:22] <bennyp> filename~ is just the buffer
[06:22] <eobanb> sethrd, just do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and see if that works
[06:22] <fiendskull9> which pisses me off :P
[06:22] <fiendskull9> brb, botting into kde for ubuntu
[06:22] <MrBIOS-> Davey, its not, but there's a debian script that runs hdparm for you at startup
[06:22] <tonyyarusso> sethrd: You don't need to get it, just reconfigure.  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[06:22] <MrBIOS-> Davey, otherwise, there's nothing to USE the settings in /etc/hdparm
[06:23] <Davey> MrBIOS-: oh. hrm.
[06:23] <MrBIOS-> Davey, er, /etc/hdparm.conf rather
[06:23] <Arrick> help
[06:23] <MrBIOS-> Davey, this looks to be a bug with the hdparm package
[06:23] <dabaR> bennyp: it does it by default. YOu use DHCP on your network?
[06:23] <sethrd> How many KBs is 64MBs? *tries to do the math in his head*
[06:23] <carbo> bennyp: err, so what happens to the file? there's no way to remove it?
[06:23] <dabaR> 65356 or so.
[06:23] <sethrd> 1024 * 64...
[06:23] <Arrick> 64x1024
[06:23] <bennyp> dabaR: yes... currently OSX internet sharing from wifi > ethernet > ubuntu
[06:23] <Davey> MrBIOS-: I don't think so, I never needed one (apparently) to get hdparm to work, I think I ran a command that did something to make it run at startup
[06:23] <sethrd> .....I hate math.
[06:23] <sethrd> 65356 sounds right.
[06:23] <bennyp> carbo: just delete it if you don't want it
[06:23] <eobanb> sethrd, google it
[06:23] <GNU_Style> Falstius: /dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type vfat (rw,umask=000)
[06:23] <MrBIOS-> Davey, any idea what? it's not loading by default here
[06:24] <Arrick> thats the right numbet
[06:24] <Arrick> !help
[06:24] <carbo> bennyp: i don't know how to delete it, that was my question
[06:24] <Davey> MrBIOS-: I got it off the forums
[06:24] <Davey> MrBIOS-: or perhaps the ubuntu guide
[06:24] <Falstius> GNU_Style: that should do it.
[06:24] <bennyp> carbo: I already answered your question
[06:24] <GNU_Style> Falstius: still the same error from make xconfig :(
[06:24] <_tcc> Anyone install UT ever?
[06:24] <bennyp> carbo: you already deleted the file
[06:24] <dabaR> bennyp: did you check your /etc/network/interfaces?
[06:24] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, i already miss gnome :(
[06:24] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, lol
[06:24] <dabaR> bennyp: if you would like, post that file to #flood
[06:24] <carbo> bennyp: okay, i'm just not getting this... the file is still there but I've deleted it.
[06:24] <bennyp> dabaR: iface eth0 inet dhcp
[06:24] <Falstius> GNU_Style: try sudo su and then doing it.
[06:24] <GNU_Style> Falstius: even if im root or sudo
[06:25] <bennyp> carbo: the file isn't there
[06:25] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: You can always run both if you wish.
[06:25] <bennyp> carbo: you deleted it
[06:25] <dabaR> bennyp: auto eth0?
[06:25] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, really?
[06:25] <Falstius> GNU_Style: sounds like it still won't allow exec.  I don't know why.
[06:25] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, how is that possible?
[06:25] <Arrick> !anyone: I need to know how to start the xubuntu gui after it is installed on my ubuntu server?
[06:25] <GNU_Style> Falstius: :(
[06:25] <Hobbsee> regeya: yes, people who use the exploit either get a ban by the bot, or a kline, if one of the freenode people is about
[06:25] <dabaR> sudo aptitude install xubuntu-server
[06:25] <carbo> bennyp: okay... man, if it isn't there i wish it would just disappear for real
[06:25] <frank23> Arrick: startx doesn't work?
[06:25] <bennyp> carbo: it already has
[06:25] <sethrd> It decided it doesn't like me...
[06:25] <bennyp> carbo: x does not equal x~
[06:25] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: The "New Login" stuff, in Gnome it's Applications > System Tools, New Login; not sure in KDE, but it's there.
[06:26] <Arrick> franl23: don't know yet, trying to get help, im new at it
[06:26] <Falstius> time for me to get some sleep though.  Good luck.  HT is overrated anyway.
[06:26] <dabaR> carbo: rm filename~
[06:26] <bennyp> similarly, file and file~ are two different things
[06:26] <sethrd> "xserver-xorg/config/device/driver not set"

[06:26] <fiendskull9> tonyyarusso, oh well, back to gnome in a bit
[06:26] <GNU_Style> Falstius: thanks any way
[06:26] <Arrick> frank23: that did it, thanks
[06:26] <tonyyarusso> fiendskull9: Of course.
[06:26] <bennyp> when you edit a file, the editor will generally produce a buffer file and append ~ to the name
[06:26] <ph1qt10n> how can i renew my ip information similar to the ipconfig command in windows?
[06:26] <_tcc> Anyone ever install Unreal Tournament?
[06:26] <fiendskull9> _tcc, me
[06:26] <frank23> Arrick: heh. maybe install xdm to get a login screen
[06:26] <carbo> dabaR: sheesh, thanks... :x
[06:26] <fiendskull9> _tcc, do you need help?
[06:26] <_tcc> fiendskull9, how and where did you get it?
[06:26] <_tcc> yes.
[06:27] <_tcc> please.
[06:27] <fiendskull9> _tcc, legally, from eb-games
[06:27] <Arrick> frank23: I alredy haev that
[06:27] <carbo> bennyp: alright, thanks... I haven't got all this linking and buffering stuff in my head yet
[06:27] <Arrick> its open now
[06:27] <dabaR> bennyp: ^
[06:27] <bennyp> carbo: no problemo
[06:27] <ph1qt10n> how can i renew my ip information similar to the ipconfig command in windows?
[06:27] <frank23> Arrick: maybe server doesn't start X by default. it would make sense...
[06:28] <MrBIOS-> Davey, al the scripts I find just say "edit hdparm.conf" which I've already done
[06:28] <Arrick> frank23: thats right
[06:28] <dabaR> ph1qt10n: you want to do a /release /renew?
[06:28] <MrBIOS-> the thing is that there's NO INIT SCRIPT WHICH USES IT
[06:28] <MrBIOS-> lame
[06:28] <dabaR> bennyp: is there auto eth0 in that file?
[06:28] <fiendskull9> _tcc, do you have aim or something of the sort?
[06:28] <bennyp> dabaR: no sir,
[06:28] <bennyp> dabaR: auto lo
[06:28] <frank23> MrBIOS-: /etc/rcS.d/S07hdparm
[06:28] <fiendskull9> _tcc, im getting ready to install slackware, and im going to be back on around 12:30, 1 am
[06:29] <fiendskull9> _tcc, im atleebass on aim, tttyl
[06:29] <dabaR> bennyp, ph1qt10n : "sudo ifdown eth0&&sudo ifup eth0"
[06:29] <dabaR> bennyp: add auto eth0.
[06:29] <dabaR> ph1qt10n: man ifconfig
[06:29] <MrBIOS-> frank23, dude
[06:29] <MrBIOS-> frank23, those scripts DONT EXIST
[06:30] <dabaR> !enter
[06:30] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[06:30] <bennyp> dabaR: two birds, one line ;)
[06:30] <dabaR> !shout
[06:30] <ubotu> it has been said that shout is WE CAN READ LOWER CASE!
[06:30] <MrBIOS-> and you have to symlink them to something per the debian docs
[06:30] <C-O-L-T> say me why is that if I write a cd with gnomebakes I can not read it. If I write one with k3b it is ok
[06:30] <MrBIOS-> frank23, but the thing which you symlink TO does not exist
[06:30] <MrBIOS-> I love how people find one little snippit of info and present it
[06:30] <whyameye_> is there a way to check for a known bug on ooimpress with Breezy? I'm having a weird problem which doesn't seem to happen on my dapper machine with ooimpress...
[06:30] <frank23> MrBIOS-: it does exist for me
[06:30] <Arrick> what is the best version of samba?
[06:30] <Arrick> frank23: do you now anything about print servers?
[06:31] <frank23> Arrick: not much
[06:31] <MrBIOS-> frank23, what does it point to?
[06:31] <Arrick> frank23: how do I get samba
[06:31] <dabaR> Arrick: do you know how to install things?
[06:31] <frank23> MrBIOS-: /etc/init.d/hdparm of course
[06:31] <sethrd> So, what doedit to do a dist-upgrade?
[06:31] <sethrd> Er, what do I edit rather..
[06:31] <Dr_Fate> how to install?
[06:31] <MrBIOS-> frank23, I dont have that file, can I convince you to send it to me?
[06:32] <bennyp> dabaR: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 fails
[06:32] <Dr_Fate> seriosuly?
[06:32] <MrBIOS-> frank23, even after reinstalling the hdparm package
[06:32] <alpha255> Arrick, apt-get install samba? is that right?
[06:32] <dabaR> bennyp: no dhcp server:-/
[06:32] <frank23> MrBIOS-: I can send it but how can you not have it?  try a purge (remove completely in synaptic) and reinstall
[06:32] <bennyp> dabaR: I suspect no access to the ibook...
[06:32] <Dr_Fate> if he does not know how to install
[06:32] <dabaR> Dr_Fate: install what?
[06:32] <Dr_Fate> je sjould not use apt
[06:32] <Dr_Fate> he should use synaptic
[06:33] <Dr_Fate> or adaptec
[06:33] <dabaR> !enter
[06:33] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[06:33] <sethrd> What does one edit in order to do a dist-upgrade from breezy to dapper? I know it's still in testing.
[06:33] <dabaR> !dapper
[06:33] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[06:33] <bennyp> dabaR: what confuses me is that it worked a few hours before, but since I took out the CD, it's no-go
[06:33] <MrBIOS-> frank23, if I do that it breaks dependencies...more than I want to deal with. please, can you post it somewhere?
[06:33] <MrBIOS-> frank23, it will just make my life easier
[06:34] <Dr_Fate> Dapper will be late?
[06:34] <Davey> by 6 weeks
[06:34] <dabaR> see ^
[06:34] <alpha255> flight 5 is here...
[06:34] <Dr_Fate> that sucjs
[06:34] <Davey> alpha255: but it has been delayed 6 weeks
[06:34] <Se7h> Dr_Fate you can use it already
[06:34] <Arrick> aplha255: that was correct thanks
[06:34] <Davey> for extra testing and the addition of xubuntu officially
[06:34] <alpha255> Davey, better than the delay for vista ;)
[06:34] <Dr_Fate> I am using it
[06:35] <Davey> alpha255: too true, lol
[06:35] <Davey> Dr_Fate: Dapper? me too
[06:35] <Se7h> alpha255 lol
[06:35] <Arrick> alpha255: now how do I start it up?
[06:35] <Dr_Fate> Yes
[06:35] <MrBIOS-> frank23, not hdparm.conf
[06:35] <alpha255> Davey, and the price and flexablity is waaay better :)
[06:35] <Dr_Fate> Dapper
[06:35] <MrBIOS-> frank23, /etc/init.d/hdparm
[06:35] <dabaR> Arrick: to learn how to install things, you can use http://dabar.selfip.org/synaptic.html
[06:35] <frank23> MrBIOS-: oh the script...
[06:35] <MrBIOS-> frank23, yes!
[06:35] <Davey> alpha255: haha, and XGL > Aero, or whatever it's called
[06:35] <MrBIOS-> does dapper use xgl by default?
[06:35] <dabaR> alpha255: hehe/
[06:35] <monzie> hi all
[06:36] <dabaR> brb.
[06:36] <alpha255> this is fun :)
[06:36] <frank23> MrBIOS-: did you delete it?
[06:36] <metalhedd> i changed my system time and now I can use sudo it says 'timestampt oo far in the future
[06:36] <MrBIOS-> frank23, I dont know
[06:36] <MrBIOS-> frank23, dont think so
[06:36] <bennyp> dabaR: I can't even reach the ibook in a ping from ubuntu
[06:36] <crimsun> metalhedd: you can try rebooting.
[06:36] <dcgarri> Trying to fix DVD playback... i have seen that DMA is turned ON for /dev/cdrom... when attempting to play DVD, playback begins...plays about two frames, then Totem locks up and DVD drive is no longer accessible
[06:36] <frank23> metalhedd: maybe it will do that a few hours then it will be ok
[06:36] <MrBIOS-> frank23, can you post the file to an HTTP server somewher? DCC seems to be briken
[06:37] <bennyp> I'm using a regular ethernet cable, but that shouldn't matter, as ibook's have autosensing ethirnet ports
[06:37] <metalhedd> theres got to be a better way
[06:37] <Arrick> man, using synaptic would be nice if I had it on this machine
[06:37] <MrBIOS-> frank23, HTTP?
[06:38] <frank23> MrBIOS-: is pastebin ok?
[06:39] <sethrd> "xserver-xorg/config/device/driver not set"
[06:39] <sethrd> Aborting. Run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to correct this problem.
[06:39] <Arrick> How to run Samba?
[06:39] <alpha255>  Arrick you can use the command line
[06:39] <frank23> MrBIOS-: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10750
[06:39] <alpha255> Arrick, apt-get install package
[06:40] <alpha255> Arrick, synAPTic is a gui front end to apt
[06:40] <GNU_Style> anybody here is a master in VI  or EMACS21?
[06:40] <dabaR> Arrick: if you install it, then it runs by itself.
[06:40] <dabaR> Mastah, disastah! #vi #emacs
[06:41] <alpha255> Arrick, on command line go to the rc.d file location and use  ./smbd start
[06:41] <alpha255> Arrick, not positive on that location though
[06:43] <dabaR> alpha255: you can use sudo invoke-rc.d serverName start|stop|restart...
[06:43] <frank23> alpha255: a funny way to start a service but it would work ;)
[06:44] <Arrick> ok thanks
[06:44] <alpha255> dabaR, nice
[06:44] <dabaR> Arrick: if you install samba, it runs by itself. have you installed samba?
[06:45] <Arrick> dabar: yes
[06:45] <dabaR> Arrick: once samba is installed, it already runs. However, you need a user name and password set up for it to be able to log in to the shared folders or printers. there is a command for it. Have you red the following page?
[06:45] <dabaR> !samba
[06:45] <ubotu> rumour has it, samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[06:45] <amazon10x> hello, all
[06:46] <amazon10x> is there only one cd for ubuntu?
[06:46] <amazon10x> other distros usually have 10
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> amazon10x: One at a time, anyway.  There are separate CDs for Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
[06:46] <dabaR> There are several, for a few different versions. Ubuntu has only the main system on the CDs, other packages are downloaded from repositories.
[06:46] <dabaR> !components
[06:46] <ubotu> The rationale behind the different components of the ubuntu repositories (main, restricted, universe, multiverse) is described at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components
[06:46] <alpha255> ubuntu's wiki is quite helpful! :)
[06:47] <Mosi> Does anyone know if Alien can convert Mac OS X .pkg files to .debs?
[06:47] <dabaR> Mosi: man alien sure does.
[06:47] <dabaR> Mosi: google might.
[06:47] <dcgarri> DVD playback is not working... DMA is enabled
[06:47] <amazon10x> what if i don't have a net connection?
[06:47] <joseph> where are the instructions for installing the nvidia driver?
[06:47] <dabaR> !dvd
[06:47] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[06:48] <Mosi> dabaR: Alien doesn't say anything about OS X .pkg's, but it does mention .pkg's for another distro, but i dunno if it's the same file type
[06:48] <dcgarri> i have installed libdvdcss2 as well
[06:48] <dabaR> amazon10x: you could download packages from the web page I will show, and burn them on a cd somewhere else, and then bring them home.
[06:48] <dabaR> !packages
[06:48] <ubotu> packages is, like, You can browse the packages in the Ubuntu repositories from http://packages.ubuntu.com .  It also has a nifty file search feature.
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> Mosi: It's worth a shot, since OS X is BSD-based, right?
[06:48] <alpha255> Mosi, slackware is the other distro that uses .pkg from what i remember
[06:49] <alpha255> Mosi, mabey solaris too
[06:49] <Mosi> ok, cool. next question. OS X .dmg's are just supposed to be HFS ISO's, right?
[06:49] <dabaR> What is this package that OSX has, that ubuntu does not:P I have a Mac, but I am limited in my usage of it...
[06:49] <alpha255> mabey is maybe
[06:50] <Mosi> dabaR: LimeWire for PPC :)
[06:50] <frank23> Mosi: maybe. it would explain how they run from a file
[06:50] <alpha255> dabaR, mac x uses pacakage to install
[06:50] <alpha255> dabaR, right click on the package and you'll see the contnents
[06:50] <dabaR> Mosi: and you do not want to use a good program for gnutella?
[06:51] <dabaR> alpha255: ya, I know that much:-/
[06:51] <Mosi> alpha255: .dmg isn't their package format, it's the standard file format they use for distributing source and junk
[06:51] <Mosi> dabaR: I'm not well versed on the alternatives. You got osmething better?
[06:51] <alpha255> Mosi, isn't dmg an image file?
[06:51] <dabaR> Mosi: try gtk-gnutella. that is what I use. Some people like frostwire, free limewire. Your package manager may have other suggestions. Search for gnutella, that may do it.
[06:52] <Mosi> alpha255: That's what i thought. So when i run file on the .dmg, why does it just say 'data'? It should say something about a HFS ISO file,f rom whati've read...
[06:52] <Arrick> alpha255: your tired?
[06:52] <alpha255> Arrick, yep long week
[06:52] <Mosi> dabaR: gtk starts with a g. that isn't g as in gnome, is it? cuz i'm using KDE ^_^;
[06:52] <Arrick> alpha255: man ive been trying to get this thing up since 5 this morning and its 1 am here
[06:52] <dcgarri> DVD playback fails.  DMA is on.  Libdvdcss2 is installed
[06:52] <alpha255> Mosi, not sure
[06:53] <ArIeZ> im trying to open galeon web browser it says starting galeon...
[06:53] <MistaED> mosi: gimp, actually
[06:53] <ArIeZ> but then it disapears
[06:53] <dabaR> MrBIOS-: Did you know there is a channel especially for dapper?
[06:53] <jcapote> how can you change your screen resolution after making a mistake at the install prompt when it asks what the maximum is
[06:53] <alpha255> Arrick, i got 4 hrs sleep yesterday
[06:53] <ArIeZ> anyne know why its doing this
[06:53] <Mosi> MistaED: thanks :)
[06:53] <joseph> where is the information on how to install the nvidia driver?
[06:53] <ArIeZ> anyone
[06:53] <MistaED> mosi: then the g in gimp is gnu, then it is just an infinite loop of gnu :P
[06:53] <MrBIOS-> dabaR, I dont think this is a dapper-speccific problem, as it was also doing it before I upgraded to dapper
[06:53] <frank23> !tell joseph about nvidia
[06:53] <alpha255> jcapote, try ctrl + /- on the keypad
[06:54] <Mosi> MistaED: gotta love those self-referencing acronyms. recursion FTW :P
[06:54] <jcapote> isnt there a sax like utility
[06:54] <Dr_Fate> what is the Dapper channel?
[06:54] <jcapote> this is an x prob
[06:54] <alpha255> jcapote, try ctrl and option  then tap + or - on the keypad
[06:54] <joseph> frank23: does that work with dapper?
[06:54] <Mosi> Dr_Fate: #ubuntu+1
[06:54] <frank23> joseph: I don't know.
[06:54] <frank23> joseph: actually I think it does
[06:54] <alpha255> Dr_Fate, it when you look stylin! ;)
[06:55] <jcapote> i want to relaunch the x config wizard somehow
[06:55] <alpha255> brb
[06:56] <dcgarri> DVD playback is failing... DMA is set to "on", Libdvdcss2 is installed... any other options?
[06:56] <ArIeZ> im trying to open my galeon web browser it says starting gal...
[06:56] <dabaR> dcgarri: what are you playing it in?
[06:56] <ArIeZ> then it vanishes
[06:57] <ArIeZ> anyone know why its doing this
[06:57] <dcgarri> "The Chronicles of Riddick"
[06:57] <Arrick> alpha255: how do I edit the /etc/fastb using the command line?
[06:57] <Arrick> alpha255: gedit will not open it
[06:57] <dcgarri> Is Totem the player i should be using?
[06:57] <sethrd> dcgarri: I think he meant the program.
[06:57] <frank23> dcgarri: try another player like totem-xine, vlc
[06:58] <dcgarri> will do
[07:02] <thomas> anyone here know anything about grub boot loader? well im trying to get my windows partition going its still there just grub doesnt show it in list but messing around with grub i noticed i can change some stuff to get it to boot like 06 1,0something
[07:02] <Arrick> alpha255:
[07:02] <thomas> how do i find out whatthe hdxx x,x stuff is and how to i set it to boot my windows partition
[07:02] <thomas> in grub.conf
[07:02] <dcgarri> when DVD does not play, the drive also loses function (No LED, eject button fails... cannot be ejected through UI either)... is there a way to restore that functionality wihtout restarting?
[07:03] <asymmetry> thomas: pastebin your grub.conf, and I'll help you out
[07:03] <Arrick> alpha255: any info for me about editing the /etc/fstab?
[07:03] <thomas> nice
[07:03] <thomas> k
[07:03] <fiendskull9> how do i add slackware 10 to GRUB's menu.lst?
[07:03] <mustard5> thomas, use the pastebin
[07:03] <answerguy> thomas: Grub's names for devices are (hd0,0) for what Linux calls hda1 (or sda1) and Windows calls C:
[07:03] <asymmetry> answerguy: the grub device names are relative to a specified partition
[07:03] <answerguy> That's an oversimplification of course, but it's probably right in your case.
[07:04] <fiendskull9> Can someone help me add an entry for Slackware 10.0 to the grub boot menu?
[07:04] <thomas> yea i know thats what gets me
[07:04] <asymmetry> fiendskull9: I can. Same thing, pastebin your grub.conf and link me.
[07:05] <answerguy> asymmetry: not to my experience ... they are based on the BIOS numbers for the drives: device 0x80 is (hd0)
[07:05] <thomas> it reads under hdb5 the windows partition
[07:05] <fiendskull9> asymmetry, you mean menu.lst?
[07:05] <thomas> but whats the x,x?
[07:05] <frank23> fiendskull9: try to find the lines you had in the /boot/grub/menu.lst of you slackware partition and paste them in you ubuntu menu.lst
[07:05] <asymmetry> grub.conf = menu.lst
[07:05] <fiendskull9> frank23, but i cant boot to slackware, i dont have it on my grub menu
[07:05] <answerguy> menu.lst is the original name; most distros symlink that to grub.conf
[07:05] <fiendskull9> !mount
[07:05] <ubotu> hmm... mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[07:06] <frank23> fiendskull9: mount the slackware partition in ubuntu
[07:06] <sethrd> Hmmm.
[07:06] <fiendskull9> frank23, ok, brb
[07:06] <sethrd> How can I make it so that when I user logs into a terminal, they get a random message. Fortune I guess,
[07:06] <sethrd> I know it has to do with motd, but I want to it be random.
[07:06] <nalioth> sethrd: do you want to see it, or do you want it for all of your users?
[07:06] <fiendskull9> frank23, how do i mount it, its installed on hda4.
[07:06] <answerguy> sethrd actually you'd add a call to fortune to the /etc/profile.d
[07:07] <Nabiki> Is it usually a good idea to install updates as the computer says they are available?
[07:07] <nalioth> answerguy: stay out of system files
[07:07] <fiendskull9> frank23, actually, it asked me to install lilo, and i said no. so theres gonna be no conf.
[07:07] <sethrd> nalioth: I'm the only user as of now, but I plan on setting up my wife an account. She thinks Ubuntu is "cute" and she wants Tux as a pet.
[07:07] <nalioth> Nabiki: updates are for security reasons
[07:07] <nalioth> sethrd: to your ~/.bashrc on the last line put "fortune &"
[07:07] <Nabiki> nalioth, Includingupdates to Libc and such? :)
[07:07] <babo> Hi I'm getting a configure error ... something went wrong looking for the Xdbe (double buffer extension)
[07:07] <fiendskull9> asymmetry, so you have slackware 10.0 in your grub menu?
[07:08] <nalioth> Nabiki: anything that shows up as an update is for security reasons
[07:08] <sethrd> nalioth: Thank you very much.
[07:08] <answerguy> nalioth: if sethrd wants this for all of his users on his machine he can edit the system files.
[07:08] <Nabiki> I see. :)
[07:08] <nalioth> sethrd: see answerguys info
[07:08] <asymmetry> answerguy: repeating: stay out of the system files
[07:08] <answerguy> I'd just drop a one-line shell script into /etc/profile.d/
[07:08] <nalioth> sethrd: but to be safe, put the command in each users ~/.bashrc
[07:08] <frank23> fiendskull9: you didn't install a bootloader for slackware. oh. you're going to have to figure out the lines to add. hda4 is  (0,3) in grub numbers
[07:08] <answerguy> (On most Linux distros).
[07:08] <sethrd> Here is another one for ya.
[07:09] <sethrd> Regarding something.
[07:09] <jb0nd38372> I feel silly for asking this as i'm trying to pretty much self teach myself, but, here goes, whats theeasiest way to, say for example get something to runwith root permisions while it's running? without using terminal and sudo'ing it?
[07:09] <babo> My conky app just appears see through on a black screen - I can't see anything ...
[07:09] <Arrick> ok, night
[07:09] <sethrd> I just did it and tested it, and it works, but the fortune is put on my command line, instead of above it...
[07:09] <fiendskull9> frank23, so is hda2 0,1 in grub numbers?
[07:09] <Arrick> Can anyone tell me how to edit the /etc/fstab using the command prompt/
[07:09] <Arrick> ?
[07:09] <dabaR> sethrd: you did the & at the end?
[07:10] <sethrd> Yes.
[07:10] <answerguy> sethrd: sounds like you need to add an echo command
[07:10] <Nabiki>   /j #cedega
[07:10] <dabaR> sethrd: remove it./
[07:10] <frantic> hey guys, i need help :(
[07:10] <sethrd> Ok.
[07:10] <Nabiki> Has anyone here used cedega?
[07:10] <frank23> fiendskull9: yeah.  both drive# and partition# start at 0
[07:10] <ASTX813> Arrick, sudoedit /etc/fstab
[07:10] <fiendskull9> Nabiki, no, its horse sh*t
[07:10] <dabaR> Arrick: what editor? "sudo nano /etc/fstab"
[07:10] <sethrd> There we go!
[07:10] <ASTX813> frantic, be a bit more specific?
[07:10] <Arrick> thanks
[07:10] <Cyorxamp> Hi I could really use someone to help me with a few things - I am at the end of the line here folks - I have vowed to get my ubuntu installation working my noon or I forget the whole thing and my machines go back to windows - I could really use the help.
[07:10] <sethrd> WEE!
[07:10] <jb0nd38372> Nabiki I have used it a little, whats wrong?
[07:10] <sethrd> That was fun!
[07:10] <dabaR> nalioth: I always like your use of $1, &, and those things;P
[07:11] <ASTX813> Don't do it, Cyorxamp!!!
[07:11] <frantic> i made another windows installation cuz mine had been crapped up for a while, and it totally fudged up my grub
[07:11] <Cyorxamp> ASTX813, I have spent HOURS on this damn operating system
[07:11] <frantic> expected, but i can't figure out how to repair it
[07:11] <Cyorxamp> BY NOON is had better work
[07:11] <Cyorxamp> It's that simple
[07:11] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: You don't mean that.
[07:11] <ASTX813> frantic, did you make a lilo floppy?
[07:11] <dabaR> Cyorxamp: I have spent about a year and a half.
[07:11] <Cyorxamp> I do mean that
[07:11] <frantic> er no
[07:11] <Mosi> Cyorxamp: Hours? Installing Linux works differently than it does for Windows
[07:11] <Nabiki> jb0nd38372, I am getting ready to reinstall it because it is giving me an error that I have to install a version of it for it to operate, but it freezes up on any updates download atempts. ^^;;
[07:11] <sethrd> Take it back! *cries*
[07:12] <Cyorxamp> No Ubuntu is installed
[07:12] <frantic> i'm currently running hte ubuntu live cd
[07:12] <Cyorxamp> It's just getting it to do the simplist of things
[07:12] <frank23> Nabiki: I used cedega for WoW. It worked fine (after I configured it properly)
[07:12] <GNU_Style> can I run synaptic in kubuntu?
[07:12] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: Trust me, the longer you spend trying to solve something, the better you feel WHEN you solve it.
[07:12] <dabaR> GNU_Style: have you tried?
[07:12] <Cyorxamp> I could use someone 'personally' who can help me along the way when doing things
[07:12] <sethrd> I understand you want it to Just Work (TM), but it feels good after a while of hacking at it.
[07:12] <ASTX813> frantic, I think there's a tool on the knoppix cd to repair GRUB
[07:12] <GNU_Style> dabaR: no im afraid im gonna mess things up
[07:12] <Cyorxamp> sethrd, I know that feeling and I have had it over the months - theres just too many problems ocurring
[07:13] <Cyorxamp> So bollox to it
[07:13] <Nabiki> frank23, For me it freezes up a lot..  I haven't even installed a game yet. O.o;;
[07:13] <GNU_Style> ASTX813: that tool on knoppix to repair grub
[07:13] <GNU_Style> ASTX813: that tool on knoppix to repair grub?
[07:13] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: I understand. That is why I moved away from Windows. *chuckle*
[07:13] <dabaR> GNU_Style: feel free to try. Use aptitude to install it. That way if you need to uninstall, aptitude will clean up everything behind itself.
[07:13] <frank23> Cyorxamp: what takes time is not the doing, it's the learning. don't put deadlines like that ;)
[07:13] <Mosi> Cyorxamp: I mean getting it running. Linux is like this. All your configuration work happens up front. It takes a week or three to get everything running nice and smooth, but after that, it just *works*. In contrast, windows jsut works at first, but only because it auto-detects and fudges everything for you. Then, as time passes, little things start to show on the surface, and you slowly begin to pay the price, as problems start emerging.
[07:13] <Mosi>  On linux you pay your maintenance up front. Windows, it's stretched out.
[07:13] <Cyorxamp> I NEED SOMEONE - Yes that's right... I need someone 'personally' to help guide me though these things or I will just crack
[07:13] <jb0nd38372> Does Cedega run better or work more efficently when run with root privs?
[07:14] <Cyorxamp> This is a plea!
[07:14] <ASTX813> Sounds like GRUB's not broken, just that your MBR was wiped by windows (and i don't know the fix off the top of my head)
[07:14] <MrBIOS-> are there any tools that will help me determine WHICH process is causing disk IO?
[07:14] <Cyorxamp> I BEG OF YOU ALL#
[07:14] <dabaR> Cyorxamp: get to the point, please.
[07:14] <nub3> Hi  all    :apt-get gives me and error E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list .....
[07:14] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: You smoke? If not, start. Nicotine, even though it is a stimulate, relaxes eople.
[07:14] <frank23> jb0nd38372: no running as root for nothing is a bad idea
[07:14] <Mosi> Cyorxamp: i'll help with what i can. What do you need help with?
[07:14] <nub3> what do i do?
[07:14] <Cyorxamp> Mosi: pm?
[07:14] <dabaR> sethrd: excellent advice.
[07:14] <frantic> well, yeah, i can see my grub files on my disk here
[07:14] <GNU_Style> Mosi: have been using xp for 3 years no reinstallation, no problems lateky
[07:14] <Mosi> sure
[07:14] <sethrd> dabaR: Only reason I said it is because I'm about to go have one. Care to join me?
[07:14] <frantic> i've tried a few things but they all result in nothing being loaded
[07:14] <joseph> argh
[07:15] <MrBIOS-> are there any tools that will help me determine WHICH process is causing disk IO?
[07:15] <Nabiki> If windows whiped the MBR and you can still get into windows, then boot from a recovery CD or similar, and reinstall lilo or grub.
[07:15] <Mosi> GNU_Style: the need for weekly virus and spyware removal, that's a problem.
[07:15] <frantic> grub> root (hd2,0)
[07:15] <frantic> grub> setup (hd0)
[07:15] <frantic> is supposedly the fix, but it cleary isn't working
[07:15] <GNU_Style> Mosi: for spyware using firefox eliminates the problem, virus? an anti virus software will likely work
[07:16] <Nabiki> The only thing that XP does gracefully that I have not been able to do yet under Linux (and that I actually want to do) is the MMORPG's. :P
[07:16] <nub3> what is  'source' URIs in your sources.list  ?
[07:16] <GNU_Style> Mosi: for Linux its really hard to get it running when ur not connected to the net, like accessing the repos and stuff
[07:16] <Mosi> GNU_Style: Firefox is not the cure to everything. If you aren't checking for spyware, you aren't taking care of yourse. Go download AdAware and Spybod-SnD, and you'll find heaps
[07:17] <GNU_Style> Mosi: I have lavasofts ad-aware
[07:17] <ASTX813> I need some Wi-Fi help, myself.  I got ndiswrapper up & running, returns "bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present" but iwconfig doesn't show my wifi adapter at all.
[07:17] <frantic> i used to use ndiswrapper
[07:17] <ASTX813> Linux on laptop = muchos headaches
[07:17] <Mosi> GNU_Style: not good enough. You should have at least two, if not three spyware removers. There's no such thing as the cure-all scanner.
[07:17] <frank23> GNU_Style: Yeah I can't imagine trying to setup linux without the net. It's essential designed (as unix is) to be on a network
[07:17] <frantic> one sec, i think i have a document somewhere to explain the remaining steps
[07:17] <whyameye_> is openoffice 2.0.2 available for breezy as a binary package somewhere?
[07:18] <frank23> whyameye_: yes.
[07:18] <Nabiki> GNU_Style, I use WiFi, so I pretty much had to get it running before I  got connected to the net. :)
[07:18] <babo> Gizmo can't open my display ... I've installed gizmo on a 32 bit chroot environment, but then when I try to run it I get ... (gizmo:18752): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[07:18] <whyameye_> frank23: and where would that be?
[07:18] <ASTX813> Is anyone running on a Dell laptop with the Truemobile 802.11b/g?
[07:18] <GNU_Style> Nabiki: the problem with linux of it doesnt detect ur wifi hardware then ur stuck
[07:19] <frank23> whyameye_: it's 2.0.1 though is that ok?
[07:19] <frantic> aw crap, can't get to it
[07:19] <Nabiki> GNU_Style, Nah,  you just have to install the right drivers.
[07:19] <whyameye_> frank23: yeah I think I just found that one and installed. There still seems to be some weird bug with buttons on ooimpress.
[07:19] <frantic> ASTX
[07:19] <dabaR> babo: running that in a terminal, or as sudo?
[07:19] <frank23> GNU_Style: and that problem is due to manufacturers. the linux friendly ones are a breeze to setup
[07:19] <frantic> do you have wlan0 setup?
[07:19] <frantic> er, set up
[07:19] <GNU_Style> Nabiki: im having trouble just installing my NVIDIA drivers
[07:20] <ASTX813> ndiswrapper is all good, but the network device isn't showing up in any of my hardware tools
[07:20] <dabaR> !wireless
[07:20] <ubotu> hmm... wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers
[07:20] <dabaR> !nvidia
[07:20] <ubotu> hmm... nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[07:20] <ASTX813> iwconfig doesn't have wlan0
[07:20] <Nabiki> GNU_Style, Windows is like that too.  The big difference is that in most cases if you have a driver problem on a windows machine, you are pretty much on your own.  Under linux you tend to be able to find people who care.
[07:20] <frantic> i think the problem is probably that you still need to do "ifconfig wlan0 up" and/or "ifup wlan0"
[07:20] <whyameye_> frank23: were you thinking of deb http://people.ubuntu.com/%7Edoko/OOo2 ./?
[07:20] <frantic> then you use.. ndiswrapper -m or something to install the module
[07:21] <Nabiki> GNU_Style, try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:21] <fiendskull9> !logical
[07:21] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, fiendskull9
[07:21] <GNU_Style> I cant  Imagine being able to install linux or a desert with no internet connection or no other compter to help
[07:21] <frank23> whyameye_: yes, that repository.  compiling from source might not be that hard I don't know. but it would take a while
[07:21] <ASTX813> frantic, ifconfig wlan0 - no such device
[07:21] <sethrd> GNU_Style: Really? That is the fun part! You get to learn so much in the process.
[07:21] <joseph> how do I make it so that the keyboard sequence of SHIFT + BACKSPACE does not cause GDM/X to restart?
[07:21] <Nabiki> GNU_Style, then sudp dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   and make sure the video is set to nvidia not nv.
[07:21] <frantic> what does ndiswrapper -help give you?
[07:21] <fiendskull9> !slackware
[07:21] <ubotu> fiendskull9: Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:21] <fiendskull9> !ubuntu
[07:21] <ubotu> methinks ubuntu is an easy-to-use GNU/Linux desktop distro based on Debian.  http://ubuntu.com http://ubuntuforums.org http://wiki.ubuntu.com. It's Bantu for 'Humanity to others'. see !awards.
[07:22] <GNU_Style> Nabiki: I have a PCI express 5300 nvidia-gls doesnt support that yet, I googled around and they say use the one off nvidias site, but I have problem intalling it, It says compiler gcc version check failed
[07:22] <GNU_Style> sethrd: :)
[07:22] <answerguy> joseph: you mean [Ctrl] +[Alt] +[Backspace] ?  That's controlled by the XFree86-config "DontZap" setting (or it used to be)
[07:23] <joseph> answerguy: No I mean SHIFT + BACKSPACE
[07:23] <ASTX813> frantic, -help just gives me command-line args.  -l lists my network devices eth0, lo, and vmnet8, but no wlan0
[07:23] <Nabiki> GNU_Style, Make sure your compiler stuff is up todate, and that you have a current cups library. Uninstall ALL the nvidia stuff, then run the file from the website as  sudo <filename.run>
[07:23] <sethrd> GNU_Style: Really, everyone says Linux is a pain. Ya know what? I think it is the other way around. Windows gave me so many issues.
[07:23] <frantic> yeah, i wanna know what the options are, cuz one of them sets up the wlan0 device
[07:23] <sethrd> GNU_Style: With Linux, there are tons of people that want o help, and I've actually gone into a Slackware channel to get help with Gentoo, and they did help.
[07:23] <answerguy> joseph doesn't do that to me.
[07:23] <sethrd> Don't ask why I did, but I did, and I got he
[07:24] <sethrd> help that is.
[07:24] <Nabiki> If you go to the NDISWrapper website,  their wiki has step by step info for setting up wifi under ubuntu. :)
[07:24] <joseph> answerguy: are you using dapper?
[07:24] <sethrd> joseph: #ubuntu+1
[07:24] <answerguy> Not on this box.
[07:24] <GNU_Style> Nabiki: whats the diff between sh nvidia,run and sudo nvidia.run?
[07:24] <mustard5> Cyorxamp, I don't even know what your current problem is
[07:24] <GNU_Style> cant install dapper flight 4, installer hangs
[07:24] <mustard5> Cyorxamp, you could try explaining what this 'simple issue' is
[07:24] <Nabiki> GNU_Style,  you may need to sudo sh nvidia.run  but sudo has to be in there.
[07:24] <ASTX813> Nabiki, I went through their docs, but after following them, wlan0 doesn't appear under ifconfig or iwconfig
[07:25] <Cyorxamp> mustard5, No not in here - this channel is just stupidly crowded
[07:25] <whyameye_> frank23: I just tried oo 2.0.2 on my dapper machine and the problem was the same...so maybe it's me that's the problem... :-)
[07:25] <Nabiki> GNU_Style, sudo is what gives you superuser privlages.
[07:25] <frank23> whyameye_: ;)
[07:25] <babo> dabaR: running it in a terminal as 'user' ... the same 'user' that X is running as from root
[07:25] <Nabiki> ASTX813, Which network card are you using?
[07:25] <frantic> seriously astx, what are the options for ndiswrapper
[07:25] <frantic> there's like -h or something?  try running that
[07:25] <frantic> ndiswrapper -h
[07:26] <babo> dabaR: I've already copied /etc/passwd and /etc/groups into chroot. I'm running the xserver from the same user that I run gizmo from in chroot and I've just disabled the acl on my xserver using xhosts ... still the same error message ... :-(
[07:26] <sethrd> cpufrew: change failed with new_state 1 and result 0.
[07:26] <ASTX813> Nabiki, Dell Truemobile 1350 (broadcom chipset)  ndiswrapper -l says "bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present" but 'm stcuk there
[07:26] <sethrd> What is that, and why does it keep showing up on my screen?
[07:26] <Dalamar_M> does anyone know if or what should be modified , so that I can login with root on the boot screen ??
[07:26] <jb0nd38372> I have a second hard drive that has an ntfs partition, it has all my downloads on it from my window days,. is there anyway to fix it so when i want to access the drive I can do it w/o having to sudo everytime?
[07:26] <sethrd> Dalamar_M: Don't do that. That is bad.
[07:26] <GNU_Style> sethrd: debian people are naughty
[07:27] <liable> Dalamar_M: apppend init=/bin/bash to kernel line.
[07:27] <GNU_Style> but once you get linux running it ROCKS
[07:27] <Dalamar_M> liable : , sethk , Why is it bad ?
[07:27] <ASTX813> frantic, my options are -i inifile (installs), -d devid driver (use devid), -e driver (removes), -l (list), -m (write for modprobe)
[07:27] <frank23> babo: I remember that type of problem....  running Ubuntu i386 fixed everything ;)
[07:27] <frantic> ok
[07:27] <frantic> ndiswrapper -m
[07:27] <Nabiki> ASTX813, Did you follow the wiki and make the changes to your network configcreating the interface and such?
[07:28] <sethrd> cpufreq: change failed with new_state 1 and result 0.
[07:28] <sethrd> What is that, and why does it keep showing up on my screen?
[07:28] <babo> frank23: I am running i386 ... in chroot
[07:28] <ASTX813> lemme go back and double check (it was all yesterday), but i think so
[07:28] <Cyorxamp>  If linux was something physical I would have beaten it to a pulp in a blinding rage at this point - it's 6:22am here and I aint slept
[07:28] <sethrd> Oh, right, Intel Speedsteping in BIOS..
[07:28] <frank23> babo: I know but your problem stems from needing i386 chroot in the first place
[07:28] <Nabiki> Also, check in /etc/modules, and see if wlan0 is listed there.
[07:28] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: Get some sleep and come back to it.
[07:28] <mustard5> Cyorxamp, you should go to sleep then :)
[07:28] <Cyorxamp> I have done that too often
[07:29] <Cyorxamp> it is time to get this FIXED - or it GOES
[07:29] <mustard5> Cyorxamp, if its that frustrating you should go back to windows :)
[07:29] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: What exactly is the issue?
[07:29] <Cyorxamp> Linux has (what seems) wasted HOURS of my time
[07:29] <mustard5> Cyorxamp, save yourself some greif :D
[07:29] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: Feel free to PM it to me if you want.
[07:29] <Cyorxamp> sethrd, go in another channel if ur interested #cyorxamp
[07:30] <Toma-> i just spent 2 hours installing windows, only to have it shaft me in the backside too. so dont think its only linux that sux for installing:)
[07:30] <Dalamar_M> guy's , is there a possibility of booting to Linux lead to net connection problem in Windows ?
[07:30] <frank23> Cyorxamp: dual boot. take your time to figure out linux. It took me a long time to adopt it fulltime
[07:30] <ASTX813> Nabiki, is it important that I use the drivers from the wiki?  I think I used the most recent drivers direct from Dell
[07:30] <sethrd> Dalamar_M: No.
[07:30] <Dalamar_M> so was I thinking ...
[07:30] <Dalamar_M> should be my ISP
[07:31] <sethrd> Doubtful.
[07:32] <liable> Dalamar_M: stranger things have happened. it is possible that the linux driver has set a value on your iface card. unlikely, but do a full powercycle. ie, shut the machine completely down and restart.
[07:32] <Nabiki> ASTX813, the most important parts are probably the entry in /etc/modules, and the interface setup inthe config files.  However the drivers on the wiki have been tested and are known to be stable on  most systems.
[07:32] <nick_here> i am trying to install vmware, but getting error : http://pastebin.com/621308
[07:32] <Dalamar_M> liable : , this is exactly what I have done
[07:32] <Dalamar_M> I will tell you the whole story
[07:32] <Dalamar_M> I come home
[07:32] <dabaR> !enter
[07:32] <Dalamar_M> on windows , there is net & lan
[07:32] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[07:32] <ASTX813> Double checking all that, I'll let you know how it goes
[07:32] <Nabiki> the entry in /etc/modules is so that you don't have to 'modprobe wlan0' all the ime .^_^
[07:33] <Dalamar_M> I reboot to Linux
[07:33] <frank23> nick_here: install gcc-3.4 then export CC=gcc-3.4 before running config script
[07:33] <Dalamar_M> there is net , again
[07:33] <Dalamar_M> but when I reboot to win again
[07:33] <liable> Dalamar_M: please try and use punctuation, instead of enter.
[07:33] <Dalamar_M> liable : , ok .
[07:33] <Dalamar_M> whatever you say .
[07:34] <Dalamar_M> so , my point is that the time I rebooted from Lin To Win , there was authentication problems .
[07:34] <frantic> ok, i am off to toil with grub some more
[07:34] <Nabiki> Dalamar_M, If you keep putting three words on a line, and hitting enter, you will likely not get a lot of help because it is rude.  It also makes it hard to tell what you want at times because many people are chatting at once.
[07:34] <frantic> friggin windows
[07:34] <frantic> i'll fix YOUR mbr
[07:34] <Nabiki> Dalamar_M, Authentication problems, what kind?
[07:35] <liable> Dalamar_M: getting a dhcp lease or what?
[07:35] <pvd2006> On Ubuntu how could you remove every line that has a certain string in it.
[07:35] <pvd2006> in a text file
[07:35] <vbgunz> anyone know how to rename a mount from 18.0GB, etc to something more meaningful?
[07:36] <sethrd> What exactly is Ubuntu-NL?
[07:36] <Dalamar_M> pppoe problems of some kind.
[07:37] <Dalamar_M> yet strange thing is that over Ubuntu there is no LAN , but in Win there is lan but no PPPOE
[07:37] <Dalamar_M> oops
[07:37] <Dalamar_M> sorry
[07:37] <sethrd> pvd2006: sed -e s/<foobar>//" <file> > <file>
[07:37] <Dalamar_M> yet strange thing is that over Ubuntu there is no LAN , but in Win there is lan but no PPPOE.
[07:37] <sethrd> Er..
[07:37] <sethrd> pvd2006: sed -e "s/<foobar>//" <file> > <file>
[07:37] <pvd2006> Thanks a lot sethrd
[07:37] <sethrd> Sure thing.
[07:37] <Nabiki> Dalamar_M, So you can only access the local network under Windows and the Internet under Linux?
[07:38] <pvd2006> There are thousands and thousands of entries in this rootkit revealer that I am looking at, lol.
[07:38] <sethrd> pvd2006: You want to remove the entire line, or just a certian string?
[07:38] <pvd2006> the entire line
[07:38] <sethrd> Oh, not sure about that.
[07:38] <minghua> sethk: that removes the string, not _the line that contains the string_
[07:38] <minghua> sethrd: ^^^
[07:38] <pvd2006> hmm
[07:38] <sethrd> minghua: Yeah, I just realizehat is what he wanted.
[07:38] <answerguy> vbgunz: if you umount the filesystem, create a "meaningful" directory name and then mount the device thereto ... that should work.  Right?
[07:39] <Dalamar_M> Nabiki : , in Linux i seem to NOT connect to either , in Win I seem to have Lan (at least the local FTP server).
[07:39] <minghua> sethrd: but I agree sed is the correct tool
[07:39] <Nabiki> pvd2006, Are you wanting to do tht to a config file,or just any filein general?
[07:39] <sethrd> pvd2006: Have a looksie at theman sed.
[07:39] <pvd2006> its a .txt session file
[07:39] <liable> !services
[07:39] <ubotu> I heard services is to view and alter system services, use one or more of rcconf, sysvconfig, sysv-rc-conf, update-rc.d or ls, ln and rm in /etc/rc?.d/
[07:39] <sethrd> pvd2006: Er, man sed that is.
[07:39] <Britches27> nalioth
[07:39] <Nabiki> Dalamar_M, What kind of network adapter are you using?
[07:39] <nalioth> Britches27: hi
[07:40] <Nabiki> pvd2006, Have you tried throwing together a quick perl script?
[07:40] <babo>  could someone  have a look at my pastebin please ? .... some of my shared libraries seem to be pointing to i686 libraries http://ubuntu.pastebin.ca/46911  ... when I try to run gdb skype ... run  ... I get  [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[07:40] <babo> Error while reading shared library symbols:
[07:40] <babo> Cannot find new threads: generic error
[07:40] <Britches27> nalioth may i try to pm you? i don't think it logged me in as registered
[07:40] <nalioth> Britches27: go ahead
[07:40] <pvd2006> Nabiki, no. I know a little perl, not enough to write something like so. Any Ideas?
[07:40] <sethrd> Not to be rude, but odds are if he is asking how to do that, he doesn't know any/much perl.
[07:40] <Dalamar_M> I have two : One is onboard ,and the other is PCI. Both Realtek RTL319 ...
[07:40] <minghua> sethrd, pvd2006: I believe sed -e "/string/d" file does it
[07:41] <sethrd> minghua: That will delete the whole line?
[07:41] <sethrd> minghua: That contains the string obviously.
[07:41] <pvd2006> Hmm, Ill give that a try, Ill just backup the file before i do it.
[07:41] <Dalamar_M> Nabiki : , I have two : One is onboard ,and the other is PCI. Both Realtek RTL319 ...
[07:41] <metalhedd> I just rebooted after doing quite a few system updates, and I seem to have lost my sound. :S
[07:41] <minghua> sethrd: according to my test, yes (I am by no means a sed expert)
[07:42] <sethrd> minghua: I came to find sed tonight.
[07:42] <jjstiff> how shall i video chat?
[07:42] <Nabiki> pvd2006, I could help a bit on something like that.  I would just suggest making a backup of the original file just in case. :)
[07:42] <minghua> pvd2006: my command send the output to the screen
[07:42] <Nabiki> Dalamar_M, Is your network configured with interfaces for at least one of the adapters?
[07:42] <sethrd> Doing a dist-upgrade and needed to replace breezy with dapper.
[07:43] <jjstiff> huh adapters?
[07:43] <minghua> pvd2006: you probably want something like: sed -e "/string/d" input > output
[07:43] <sethrd> jjstiff: What sort of video chat? MSN webcam chat?
[07:43] <minghua> pvd2006: and yeah, always make backup :-)
[07:43] <Nabiki> pvd2006, Mind if I message you?
[07:43] <daaku> i'm using fluxbox with gnome apps, and i'm trying to figure out how to reproduce the Xft settings that gnome-font-properties provides outside when not using gnome
[07:43] <jjstiff> i have ibm usb video cam
[07:44] <sethrd> jjstiff: That ne and dandy, but what do you want to chat on?
[07:44] <Dalamar_M> Nabiki : , I cant get your point .
[07:44] <sethrd> Fine and dandy that is.
[07:44] <jjstiff> um my ip address to yours
[07:44] <sethrd> GNOMEMeeting would work for you.
[07:44] <Nabiki> Dalamar_M,  You need to make sure that linux knows how to access at least one of  the connections, and that you have that connection connected.
[07:44] <jjstiff> thanks
[07:45] <Nabiki> Dalamar_M,   one is likely eth0 and the other eth1 or similar.
[07:45] <Dalamar_M> Nabiki : , yes , it's like that .
[07:45] <Dalamar_M> and as strange as it may seem , non of them work from time to time.
[07:46] <Dalamar_M> I used plog to see the err message , and what I saw was failure in CHAP authentication
[07:46] <sethrd> <3 USB flashlights for laptops!
[07:46] <pvd2006> Thanks a lot Sethrd and minghua, it worked!
[07:46] <sethrd> pvd2006: Sure, but I didn't do anything.
[07:47] <pvd2006> im going to have to save that command
[07:47] <pvd2006> lol
[07:47] <Cyorxamp> Would I be stupid for wanting to find a physical (i.e. I can see him/her and they can come round) linux expert in my area to assist me in getting things up and running on my machines?
[07:47] <Nabiki> pvd2006, Congrats. :Pmy method would have worked but been a little more complicated.
[07:47] <Dalamar_M> bye all
[07:47] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: Try and see if there is a LUG in your area.
[07:47] <minghua> pvd2006: you are welcome
[07:47] <Cyorxamp> LUG?
[07:47] <sethrd> Cyorxamp: Linux User Group.
[07:47] <Cyorxamp> Linux User Group?
[07:47] <Cyorxamp> lol
[07:47] <Cyorxamp> right
