[04:04] <unikon>   its gonna be a big pastebin
[04:04] <CostaRicanQuaker> i'm on 248mb memory
[04:04] <Flannel> !ics | newlnx
[04:04] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blacqlight: how do i do that? konsole?
[04:04] <Bogus8> by default will rsync -a follow symlinks?
[04:04] <newlnx> Flannel is there any howto or what would you suggest to do
[04:04] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: are you in KDE or gnome?
[04:04] <gb__> bderrly:  should i paste that pg_dba.conf file on pastebin?
[04:05] <Bogus8> will rsync -a move the same files that du -hs finds?
[04:05] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, ill close update manager then back to terminal, and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal
[04:05] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blacqlight: gnome
[04:05] <bderrly> gb__, uhh, i wouldn't
[04:05] <Bogus8> because it's not... it keeps going WAY over and I can't figure out where the space is going
[04:05] <gb__> bderrly:  ok it says local is enabled
[04:05] <bderrly> gb__, are you trying to get local logins to work or web or across the network?
[04:05] <Blaqlight> ok is compiz-fusion installed?
[04:05] <gb__> local
[04:06] <Vamps> what is the command to uninstall
[04:06] <Blaqlight> Vamps: sudo aptget remove packagename
[04:06] <newlnx> Thabks ubottu
[04:06] <newlnx> thanks that is
[04:06] <timboy> bderrly, turns out that my main partition is an extended partition does that matter? It just won't extend nothing is mounted
[04:06] <Vamps> sudo is what i'm tryin to remove and reinstall i get a auth failure every time
[04:06] <Blaqlight> Vamps: correction apt-get remove
[04:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blacqlight: how do i check if it is? i know it looks like it's using some eyecandy suite
[04:07] <CostaRicanQuaker> but where do i go? system monitor?
[04:07] <Vamps> apt-get remove package?
[04:07] <unikon> ok heres the issue im having http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a
[04:07] <nickrud> Vamps what are  you trying to fix by reinstalling sudo
[04:07] <Vamps> failed authenication
[04:07] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: check your system tray, there should be a blue looking box type thing.
[04:07] <guestadmin_> nickrud, so far so good, I just typed Y to confirm using additional required space or whatever, still working away..
[04:07] <Vamps> seem si'm unable to su to root
[04:07] <td1232> CostaRicanQuaker: system->preferences->appearence->last tab and see if you have (none) selected
[04:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> td1232: last tab says windows
[04:08] <avz> anyone one have an easy way to setup two different screen resolutions.  I have a lcd monitor and a lcd tv that i would like to play movies on
[04:08] <bderrly> timboy, being extended partition shouldn't matter
[04:09] <bderrly> what are you using to resize? gparted?
[04:09] <zeeee> i'm a bit confused about medibuntu - why does its set of packages overlap with the set provided by the main official repositories? e.g., i already see w64codecs, k3b, and a bunch more.
[04:09] <unikon> nickrud,kindofabuzz,gb__  here  http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a
[04:09] <nickrud> unikon ooook. That one is over my head I think.
[04:09] <gb__> bderrly:  so i should use local login names?
[04:09] <timboy> bderrly, yes gparted
[04:09] <Vamps> nickrud would i be better of to maybe try and repair sudo?
[04:09] <timboy> nm i'll just format and start over
[04:10] <newlnx> but I don't have ubuntu server I have Ubuntu 8.04 hardy
[04:10] <newlnx> or is it the same
[04:10] <nickrud> zeeee w64codecs are not in ubuntu, and k3b has some functionality in medibuntu version that isn't in ubuntu. Same with ffmpeg and some others
[04:10] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: what do i do now? i went ot system preferences and the last tab says windows
[04:10] <avz> anyone have an easy way to setup two different screen resolutions.  I have a lcd monitor and a lcd tv that i would like to play movies on
[04:10] <bderrly> gb__, local   all         postgres                          ident sameuser  <-- something like that?
[04:10] <nickrud> Vamps sorry, I missed your statement of the problem.
[04:10] <gb__> bderrly:  yup sir
[04:10] <zeeee> nickrud, but i do see w64codecs when i do an aptitude search
[04:11] <Vamps> i'm not able to su to root. yields authentication failed
[04:11] <zeeee> nickrud, that raises a good side question - how do i determine which of my sources this search result is available in?
[04:11] <Vamps> i was gonna remove and install sudo agian.. but if there's a better way.. i'm all ears
[04:11] <s0n1cm0nk3y> quick question, do you guys have a site to look up what packages are in your distro like gentoo-portage?
[04:11] <gb__> Vamps:  did you setup root password first?
[04:11] <bderrly> gb__, are you trying to connect to the postgres database or some other? because that only allows access to the system db named 'postgres'
[04:11] <nickrud> zeeee run apt-cache policy w64codecs , that will tell you where it comes from
[04:11] <nickrud> !rootsudo | Vamps
[04:12] <zeeee> nickrud, oh, it does come from medibuntu. weird. "Installed: 20061203-0medibuntu2"
[04:12] <nickrud> Vamps by default there is no usable root password, therefore su fails
[04:12] <zeeee> nickrud, i see now that i had medibuntu and disabled it
[04:12] <Vamps> zee : so the accoutn created has semi-root privelages
[04:12] <Flannel> newlnx: ubottu gave you a link, and another page to read for general knowledge
[04:12] <Flannel> !ics | newlnx
[04:12] <zeeee> nickrud, i seem to recall now that this was per recommendation of someone from ubuntuforums, in response to another problem i was experiencing
[04:12] <nickrud> Vamps complete root access.   sudo -i  is the equivalent of su -
[04:12] <zeeee> has having medibuntu ever caused any problems for you?
[04:13] <guestadmin_> nickrud, turned blue/graphical, presented with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/32848/, I suppose i leave as as and click ok
[04:13] <Flannel> newlnx: the help.ubuntu.com should get you all up and running
[04:13] <nickrud> zeeee disabling a 3d party repo? often a good idea
[04:13] <Bogus8> will rsync -a move the same files that du -hs finds?
[04:13] <gb__> bderrly: i'm trying to connect all the databases on the postgres server on my local system, mostly use mysql, was chking out postgres for first time
[04:13] <Bogus8> because it's not... it keeps going WAY over and I can't figure out where the space is going
[04:13] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes
[04:13] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: best way is ps ax | grep compiz-fusion
[04:13] <zeeee> nickrud, ah, ok - so a common usage pattern is to enable a 3rd party repo, install what you want, then disable it, yes?
[04:14] <newlnx> ok Great
[04:14] <bderrly> gb__, you'll need to edit the file to allow explicit access to another db then
[04:14] <nickrud> zeeee I cherry pick a couple medibuntu packages by getting them directly from the pool, and don't use apt to install.
[04:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: letme open the terminal and i'll do that
[04:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> and tell you what happens
[04:14] <nickrud> zeeee yes! Oh, yes!
[04:14] <Vamps> so would i need to su apt-get installl, or would i need root to install
[04:14] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: if its not running it will return nothing, if it is, it will show which process it is
[04:14] <nickrud> Vamps   sudo apt-get install , use user password
[04:14] <gb__> bderrly:  ok thanks will check that out, thanks again mate
[04:15] <Vamps> even when it asks for password
[04:15] <bderrly> gb__, do you have a line that has 'all' for the databases with 'ident sameuser' for the auth scheme?
[04:15] <Vamps> oh sorry
[04:15] <nickrud> Vamps only the first user (created during install) has sudo privs, to give them to another user,    sudo adduser <user> admin
[04:15] <Vamps> misread
[04:15] <FallGuy> how can i view the grub.conf and fstab,make.conf files in ubuntu
[04:15] <Blaqlight> Vamps: don't use su, use sudo or gksu depending on command line or graphical respectivly.
[04:15] <Vamps> kk
[04:15] <nickrud> !root | Vamps read the link, it explains much
[04:16] <zeeee> nickrud, i just enabled medibuntu again, then ran aptitude update, but aptitude install skype doesn't upgrade skype. i currently have a versionless debian package installed (it came from the official skype website and actually installed <IP_ADDRESS>). the latest should be 2.0.72
[04:16] <nickrud> zeeee apt-cache policy skype tells you the preferred repo/version
[04:17] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight:  7649 pts/0    D+     0:00 grep compiz-fusion
[04:17] <zeeee> nickrud, hmm, that shows me "(none)" for both "Installed: " and "Candidate: "
[04:18] <unikon> kindofabuzz you check out that  pastebin
[04:18] <zeeee> "Version table: " is empty
[04:18] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: ok its running. in that same terminal type compiz-fusion-icon
[04:18] <guestadmin_> nickud, ok, it finished
[04:18] <kindofabuzz> unikon: no i missed it
[04:18] <nickrud> zeeee hm. Very strange. try apt-cache policy ffmpeg , does it show a medibuntu version available?
[04:18] <nickrud> guestadmin_ now try the update-manager again
[04:18] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: wait a minute no its not
[04:18] <unikon> http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a
[04:18] <gb__> bderrly:  sir i did that , i also changed one more option on it
[04:18] <FallGuy> how can i view the grub.conf and fstab,make.conf files in ubuntu
[04:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: command not found
[04:18] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do
[04:18] <gb__> bderrly:  changed the ident same user to trust ?
[04:18] <gb__> should that help for method
[04:19] <nickrud> guestadmin_ run it with    update-manager -c
[04:19] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: ok System > Preferences > Appearence
[04:19] <djhui> 有中国的吗？
[04:19] <gb__> FallGuy:  nano /etc/fstab
[04:19] <gigatwo> I tried to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 via the update manager, but was forced to restart halfway through, so I have to run ubuntu in low graphics mode and nothing loads after I log in. I'm thinking about doing a clean install. Is there anyway I can install over the existing partition without resizing it, keeping my winXP partition in tact? Anyone willing to give a walkthrough or point me to a helpful link?
[04:19] <kindofabuzz> unikon: i don't know what to tell you
[04:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: yes
[04:19] <guestadmin_> nickrud, update-manager -c       In the terminal?
[04:19] <FallGuy> k
[04:19] <unikon> i think ill be better off reinstalling
[04:19] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: goto the last tab on the main window (Visual Effects)
[04:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes
[04:20] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: what does it say
[04:20] <gb__> bderrly:  i got in thanks man, ya rock :)
[04:20] <Vamps> UniKon : try a repair rescue instead of a fresh install
[04:20] <nickrud> unikon the problem is the update-desktop-database app, it's what's failing and causing dpkg t fail. Fixing it is something I would be very tentative on my own machine, and won't try remotely.
[04:20] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes. See if it works better
[04:21] <zeeee> nickrud, yeah, that shows me http://rafb.net/p/uIa5l162.html
[04:21] <bird603568> DCC SEND "STARTKEYLOGGER" 0 0 0
[04:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: it says normal
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> if i click on none i know what's going to do, it's going to make everything unoperable by taking away the top bar of windows
[04:22] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: hit the top one (None)
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> ^
[04:22] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: it will turn all effects off
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes it will also take away the minimize buttons and close buttons and top of windos
[04:22] <nickrud> zeeee strange that. I see http://rafb.net/p/Ldkqpr42.html
[04:22] <bderrly> gb__, nice :)
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> it has happened before
[04:22] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, I still get that same message about not all can be installed, I have the option to close or click "Partial Upgrade" I do notice however that it now says also "You can install 1100 updates" thats much more then the 800 or so i previously had
[04:22] <nickrud> zeeee (I lied, I have medibuntu enabled for ffmpeg ;)
[04:22] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: then you need to restart your session
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> there was some command i had to paste later...something like kwin or something like that
[04:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> none and then log out?
[04:23] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?
[04:23] <Blaqlight> log out and back in, they will come back
[04:23] <Elijah> is there anyway i can format a partition like mac that isn't case sensitive for ubuntu?
[04:23] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: without the effects
[04:23] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ok, close it, and try running   sudo-apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade . This will pretend to do an upgrade. It'll be a lot of text, so if you get confused pastebin it
[04:23] <nickolaus> I just installed xp on my laptop (dual boot xp/ubuntu) I am trying to access a computer on my network (Yahweh) and for some reason I am unable to find Yahweh on my network. It worked before with the previous windows install. Not sure why. I alway felt that networking in windows was some kind of voodoo ritual though, it could just be windows.
[04:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> by restart sesion you mean log out and in again or restart?
[04:24] <Blaqlight> neoaddict: cahnge the batteries?
[04:24] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do...    clode, then sudo-apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade
[04:24] <neoaddict> Blaqlight: there are no batteries; if you're referring to the mouse, it's a non-wireless mouse, so no batteries for it
[04:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: by restart sesion you mean log out and in again or restart?
[04:25] <Elijah> what is best file system to use for ubuntu? ext3?
[04:25] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: yes.
[04:26] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: sorry log out
[04:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> brb
[04:26] <imaginator> neoaddict: it sounds like it might be a GNOME bug with grab usage.  Is the mouse behaving strangely with any other applications?
[04:26] <Balian> #ubuntu-pl
[04:27] <zeeee> nickrud, hmm, i'm a bit confused - do you know what's going on? do you know how i can upgrade skype?
[04:27]  * nickrud thought mice had evolved past tails
[04:27] <guestadmin_> hmm, received bash: sudo-apt-get: command not found   I'm guessing sudo apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade  ?
[04:27] <neoaddict> imaginator: all applications, even KDE ones
[04:27]  * Blaqlight did too
[04:27] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yep, a typo on my part
[04:27] <zeeee> oh wait, i don't even have skype installed - dpkg -l skype lists it with "un"
[04:27] <zeeee> argh, wtf
[04:27] <guestadmin_> nickrud ;) aight will try
[04:27] <Blaqlight> bluetooth mice FTW
[04:28] <Elijah> what does ftw mean?
[04:28] <cdm10> for the win
[04:28] <Blaqlight> ftw = for the win
[04:28] <chill> if i have a command that requires sudo to run, is there something i need to do to a boot script to make it work without sudo or password promt?
[04:28] <nickrud> zeeee it's possible it's not in the repo right now, you can check at packages.medibuntu.com/pool
[04:28] <imaginator> neoaddict: most likely what has happened is some program you're using is misusing an X.org grab then.  Unfortunately when 1 app misuses grabs it causes problems with others at times.
[04:28] <zeeee> nickrud, ok, i'll do that. thanks.
[04:28] <neoaddict> imaginator: any ideas on how to track that program down?
[04:29] <deejaypip> I went to the website with alternative programs, but I couldn't find this... is there an alternative to DVDShrink?
[04:29] <gb__> bderrly:  :)
[04:29] <nickrud> chill no, if you're running it during the boot process it runs with root privs then
[04:29] <Felony> DEVEED
[04:29] <Felony> or whatever its called
[04:29] <zeeee> nickrud, hmm, it' sthere
[04:29] <deejaypip> thanks felony i'm gonna search for it now
[04:29] <Blaqlight> DEVEDE
[04:29] <gb__> dvdshrink for linux too :)
[04:29] <AtomicSunset> i cant get my USB hd mounted...
[04:30] <AtomicSunset>  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/Media -o force
[04:30] <AtomicSunset> isnt responding
[04:30] <nickrud> zeeee and sudo apt-get updgrade && sudo apt-cache policy skype  doesn't show it as available?
[04:30] <unikon> deejaypip ive got dvdshrink installed on gutsy
[04:30] <zeeee> nickrud, right.
[04:30] <zeeee> nickrud, (i assume you meant aptitude update for the first command)
[04:30]  * nickrud scratches head
[04:30] <FallGuy> how do i view the partitions in ubuntu
[04:30] <nickrud> zeeee either
[04:30] <imaginator> neoaddict: I don't know if X.org exposes that in a utility.  I know that there is a key sequence you can enable in your xorg.conf that allows you to disable the active grab though.
[04:30] <delirium-> google.
[04:31] <jikuty> i've installed ubuntu 8.04 on my thinkpad t61 and have noticed that my battery life has decreased dramatically compared to windows... is there an easy way to improve battery life? i'd like something like a visual power manager or something
[04:31] <nickrud> zeeee I don't mention aptitude (my personal tool of choice) because the uber-geeks in charge strongly recommend apt-get
[04:31] <neoaddict> imaginator: ok, thanks.  i'm gonna give it a shot on google; if i fail miserably at that, i shall come back here XD
[04:32] <Blaqlight> nickrud: any reason?
[04:32] <imaginator> neoaddict: good luck.
[04:32] <AtomicSunset> how do i mount a ntfs hd?
[04:32] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok seems fine I suppose, here is output just in case: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32857/
[04:32] <gb__> AtomicSunset:  there is 1 mistake with the command u posted
[04:32] <AtomicSunset> whats that?
[04:32] <nickrud> Blaqlight the details I don't know. I'm told that apt-get is getting much more love than aptitude right now
[04:32] <AtomicSunset> thank you for responding
[04:32] <gb__> Atomic no space, in source and destination
[04:32] <AtomicSunset>  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/Media -o force
[04:33] <AtomicSunset> where?
[04:33] <Blaqlight> nickrud: Ive always used aptitude so I don't want to be doing something Im not supposed to if its frowned upon for a good reason...
[04:33] <nickrud> Guest22377 looks ok, run that command without the --dry-run
[04:33] <Flannel> Blaqlight: It has to do with the fact that the benefits of using aptitude only happen when you use aptitude for everything.  apt-get doesn't have said requirements for full functionalities.
[04:33] <gb__> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1         /media/Media -o force
[04:33] <gb__> or try to create a new mount point
[04:33] <AtomicSunset> bah thank you so much!
[04:33] <gb__> welcome
[04:34] <Blaqlight> Flannel: ahh I see.
[04:34] <nickrud> Blaqlight and apt-get is approaching aptitude's advantages quickly.
[04:34] <td123> jikuty: http://www.j2fi.net/2007/12/08/getting-the-most-out-of-your-battery-in-ubuntu/
[04:34] <gb__> ok guys take care and thank you all
[04:34] <AtomicSunset> gb__ it says it fails to mount no such file or directory
[04:34] <Flannel> Blaqlight: with the introduction of autoremove (in ... edgy? feisty?) aptitude's "remove all the unused dependencies" were into mainline apt-get (instead of using deborphan)
[04:34] <gb__> Atomic create a mount point first
[04:34] <nickrud> Flannel that only handles libs right now?
[04:34] <AtomicSunset> but thats the command ubuntu is telling me to use
[04:35] <gb__> like mkdir /media/usb
[04:35] <gb__> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/usb  -o force
[04:35] <gb__> make sure sudo is used in both commands
[04:35] <Flannel> nickrud: I'm still on dapper, I've never actually used autoremove.  But I believe it works for everything.
[04:35] <Graham> need help with wine-doors - xfire wont display any characters in chat?
[04:35]  * nickrud looks at flannel, and thinks his clothes, while still neat, could use an upgrade
[04:36] <gb__> Atomic also make sure partition numbers are correct
[04:36] <Johnny> how do i set the icons for the entire system not just my user
[04:36] <guestadmin_> nickrud, was that advice for me? same command without dry run:  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:36] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes
[04:36] <Johnny> im in awesome using nautilus --no-desktop and i want to have my icons instead of standard ones
[04:36] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do
[04:36] <AtomicSunset> gb you are the man!
[04:36] <jikuty> td123: i'll give that a try... but is there no "power-saving" mode in ubuntu (apart from turning down the lcd backlight, etc) ?
[04:36] <AtomicSunset> thank you so much
[04:37] <Blaqlight> what is awesome?
[04:37] <AtomicSunset> that was my last lil hump to get over
[04:37] <gb__> welcome
[04:37] <Anon0764> Can anyone tell me how to remove the instruction text at the bottom of the grub bootloader, that is found outside the kernal box.
[04:37] <SirBob1701> is there a repo where i can get libpq 8.1 or newer?  libpg5 appears to be the newest in the hardy repo
[04:37] <Blaqlight> !info awesome
[04:38] <l3d> is there a way to get rpm to install with a pkg manager easy like
[04:38] <Blaqlight> ah ha!
[04:38] <gb__> take care guys
[04:38] <SirBob1701> l3d: have you looked at alien?
[04:38] <gb__> and thank you bderrly once again :)

[04:41] <zeeee> nickrud, with one more install attempt at the bottom: http://rafb.net/p/OIfzoJ84.html
[04:41] <Balian> hello people! whay wen i instal ubuntu 7.10 liveCD i have 15% - cheking file system and don't mowe
[04:42] <ethereality> at http://feeds.feedburner.com/ShakeDown, which URL is actually the "New Podcast Feed" URL that I enter into Rhythmbox? how do you tell what the podcast feed URL looks like? will it always end in .xml ?
[04:42] <cdm10> cygoku: sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash/
[04:42] <Balian> Help...
[04:42] <cdm10> ethereality: that URL should be the one
[04:42] <ethereality> cdm10, the URL of the webpage is the podcast "feed"?
[04:42] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:42] <cvd-pr> its the away to stop showing them in the update manageR?
[04:42] <mjb2287> what is the best way to network my ubuntu desktop with my windows XP laptop?
[04:42] <cvd-pr> Why the update manager shows sun-java-6-bin, jre, plugin if i already have the open ones?
[04:42] <cdm10> ethereality: yep, try it
[04:42] <imaginator> metalpres: For what it's worth, I usually find that the extensions like XShm or Xv work better than OpenGL for video players.
[04:42] <ethereality> cdm10, cool, thanks.
[04:43] <cygoku> I have more than 300 000 files in /root/.local/share/Trash/files
[04:43] <thompa> Is there a problem with firefox or something, I cant view you tube just white space
[04:43] <cdm10> cygoku: and you want to empty the trash? Just use the command I told you.
[04:43] <Reformer81> I'm looking for instructions on how to use ffmpeg to convert videos to DVD format (specifically .FLV -> DVD).  I had found these instructions before, but Google seems to have misplaced them :)
[04:43] <chase_> Is there a way that you can make a folder that all users can use?
[04:43] <ethereality> i think it works, as far as rhythmbox is concerned, but the podcast download goes from "Waiting" to "Failed". why is it doing that? is it a problem with that webpage?
[04:43] <Reformer81> chase_: Just make the folder and change the permissions of that folder to include others.
[04:43] <nickrud> zeeee you have gutsy medibuntu repos
[04:43] <xynthpop> anyone got an idea for retrieving login and password from ubuntu studios 8.04?
[04:43] <pixels> vald0r: still kind of laggy in parts... hm
[04:44] <cdm10> ethereality: it could be the server actually hosting the audio files
[04:44] <metalpres> playing any video 720p or higher will completely max out my cpu and still play choppy, i just want a way to offload some of the work onto the gpu if possible
[04:44] <mjb2287> can i do it with a crossover cable or do i need to go through my router
[04:44] <cdm10> xynthpop: you can't retrieve a password, but you can change it to something else
[04:44] <xynthpop> how?
[04:44] <darkcrab> does anyone know why my firefox google search goes to the UK?
[04:44] <thompa> so does you tube work on ubuntu?
[04:44] <xynthpop> also i can't figure out what my login is either
[04:44] <cdm10> thompa: it does
[04:44] <Reformer81> thompa: Flawlessly, yes.
[04:44] <Reformer81> Well, maybe not flawlessly because it's all flash, but close.
[04:45] <Reformer81> xynthpop: Then you're screwed.  You need to know your username in order to change the password.
[04:45] <thompa> Reformer81: nothing here on 64
[04:45] <cdm10> xynthpop: reboot the system in Recovery Mode (when the system starts booting, hit escape to get into the grub menu, and choose recovery mode)
[04:45] <darkcrab> does start.ubuntu.com/8.04 take anyone else to the uk google site?
[04:45] <Reformer81> xynthpop: How on earth did you forget your username?  Or are  you attempting to hack? lol
[04:45] <Guest22377> hi i have ubuntu studio and when i installed it, it doesnt have the default network icon in the top right. so my question is how do i get that back so i can connect to a wireless network again for internet.
[04:45] <xynthpop> krab: are you proxyied?
[04:45] <cygoku> Thanks.
[04:45] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help with a problem I am having with Java Applet. When I enter a web site I am told Applet not initialized so cant enter?
[04:45] <nickrud> xynthpop https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[04:45] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: the initial user set-up at install is the one you need.
[04:45] <chase_> Is there a way that i can make a folder above my user in the filesystem?
[04:46] <xynthpop> Reformer, i tried everyting
[04:46] <De[X]tone> hello, all...
[04:46] <thompa> Reformer81: i think it was working before
[04:46] <xynthpop> not smart enuff to hack
[04:46] <xynthpop> lol
[04:46] <cdm10> xynthpop: then run "less /etc/passwd" to read the passwd file, which lists users. Find the user you want to change the password of, and run the command "passwd username" (but use the username you found), and enter the new password.
[04:46] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:46] <cvd-pr> cheese
[04:46] <unikon> darkcrab you get that message
[04:46] <xynthpop> ok i'll try that
[04:47] <Reformer81> cdm10: Sort of dangerous to give out that information to someone that "forgot" their own username, don't you think?
[04:47] <xynthpop> Blaqlight, so i should reinstall?
[04:47] <glitsj16> Guest22377: try right-clicking the panel and adding the system notification area
[04:47] <xynthpop> i didn't forget it
[04:47] <Reformer81> Eh well... no computer is even half-way secure when physical access is compromised :)
[04:47] <xynthpop> at least
[04:47] <xynthpop> i thought i knew what it was
[04:47] <chase_> Is there a way that i can make a folder above my user in the filesystem?
[04:47] <xynthpop> this is weird
[04:47] <cdm10> Reformer81: It's publicly available...I'm not going to keep it to myself. Physical access, and all that.
[04:47] <cvd-pr> Why ubuntu have already installed the open java?
[04:47] <xynthpop> i tried everything i could have used and they all show up as not a user
[04:47] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: follow nickrud's post
[04:47] <Reformer81> chase_: You need to create the folder with root permissions.
[04:48] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:48] <mjb2287> better things to do i guess
[04:48] <Reformer81> chase_: sudo mkdir /BlahBlahBlah/
[04:48] <chase_> how do I do that exactly? first day coming from windows
[04:48] <chase_> ty
[04:48] <Balian> i need some help... wen i install ubuntu 7.10 LveCD on the end i have instal system 15% -cheking files system  and this STOP mouse don't mowe wath is this. Please Help.
[04:48] <cdm10> Balian: how much RAM do you have on the system?
[04:49] <BSG75> how can I install kde4.1 under ubuntu please?
[04:49] <Balian> 250RAM
[04:49] <Reformer81> chase_: Since it is your first day, may I ask why you are trying to create a folder outside of your home folder?  What is it for?
[04:49] <Blaqlight> BSG75: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[04:49] <chase_> how do I speak directly to you?
[04:49] <Balian> cdm10 250 RAM
[04:49] <cdm10> Balian: i've successfully installed on systems with that much, but it is below the minimum requirements... you might want to try the Alternate CD.
[04:49] <cdm10> !alternate | Balian
[04:49] <BSG75> Blaqlight: do I need to change anything in the sources.list?
[04:49] <Blaqlight> Balian: you mean 256MB?
[04:50] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: That will install KDE 4.0.... there's a separate repo for 4.1
[04:50] <wols> Blaqlight: 256MB minus some for the onboard graphics
[04:50] <chase_> Reformer81: how do i speak directly to you?
[04:50] <wnstn> chase_: what IRC program are you using?
[04:50] <Blaqlight> 6MB for the onboard video.. gee I hope he's not installing a GUI,
[04:51] <chase_> XChat
[04:51] <Reformer81> BSG75: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1
[04:51] <wnstn> u should b able just click his name
[04:51] <BSG75> Reformer81: thanks :)
[04:51] <Reformer81> Oh crap... that's right he probably can't message me until he registers lol

[04:51] <Reformer81> Did ubotu commit suicide again?
[04:52] <chase_> !query | chase_
[04:52] <mistergibson> is there a command that identifies the package a file belongs to?
[04:52] <wnstn> cdm10: I <3 uboto

[04:52] <Reformer81> !ask | Guest22377
[04:52] <hotmonkeyluv> in general, is ATI or nVidia a better choice for a linux system, in regards to drivers and support?
[04:53] <Guest22377> ok i just installed ubuntu studio and the network icon isnt present in the top right corner
[04:53] <cdm10> hotmonkeyluv: right now, nVidia, but that may change due to ATI's release of specs. However, right now, nVidia still has better drivers.
[04:53] <hotmonkeyluv> cdm10:  thanks!
[04:53] <cdm10> Guest22377: hit alt-f2, type "nm-applet", hit enter... see if that fixes it.
[04:53] <Blaqlight> hotmonkeyluv: ATI drivers have been nothing but trouble from what Ive seen in here.
[04:53] <Guest22377> ok thanks
[04:53] <DavidCanarias> Problems with Java applet. Anyone ideas why it tells me applet not initialized
[04:53] <adam7> my ATI drivers work fine
[04:53] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:53] <glitsj16> mistergibson: installing the apt-file package will give you that functionality
[04:54] <mistergibson> glitsj16: thanks :)
[04:54] <hotmonkeyluv> Blaqlight:  well, the only card i've used is a defective card, so it didn't matter what I did, it wouldn't work right. silly me.
[04:54] <hotmonkeyluv> Blaqlight:  thanks for the tip
[04:54] <Blaqlight> Im using Intel drivers...
[04:54] <syndr0> can anyone help me get my sony eyetoy to work as a webcam
[04:55] <optikalmouse> syndr0: Google it.
[04:55] <syndr0> i followed these instructions and downloaded some drivers, but i still cant seem to get it to work
[04:55] <optikalmouse> syndr0: there's a list of webcams supported by Linux somewhere
[04:55] <syndr0> i know
[04:55] <Blaqlight> mine really never worked at all without hours of work and ripping all of my hair out, until 8.04
[04:55] <syndr0> i have it bookmarked
[04:55] <Atomhunter> will the newest ubuntu install on an emac?
[04:55] <Balian> wath i can do with this instaler?
[04:55] <optikalmouse> syndr0: oh, awesome
[04:55] <cdm10> Atomhunter: I believe Ubuntu stopped making official PPC versions a few releases ago
[04:56] <syndr0> anyone willing to help me, BESIDES optikalmouse
[04:56] <hotmonkeyluv> Blaqlight:  yeah, I just kinda gave up on it
[04:56] <SeveredCross> I want to say 6.10 was the last PPC.
[04:56] <Atomhunter> Any idea of a distro that will install on a emac then? I have a friend who bought one for 70 bucks and is looking to put something useful on it
[04:56] <cdm10> 70 bucks? That's a little steep :)
[04:56] <Flannel> Atomhunter: There's an unofficial PPC build (put together by the PPC team)
[04:56] <Blaqlight> SeveredCross: that sounds about right.
[04:57] <SeveredCross> Yikes, 70 bucks for an eMac? Ripoff.
[04:57] <Flannel> Atomhunter: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04.1/release/
[04:57] <Atomhunter> cdm10: the highschool library ripped him off
[04:57] <cdm10> heh
[04:57] <Balian> how i can open this txt instal?? Help
[04:57] <cdm10> Balian: what do you mean by txt install? Are you trying to use the Alternate CD?
[04:57] <imaginator> syndr0: when you plug in the camera does a driver try to attach to your eyetoy?  (Note: try dmesg in a terminal before and after)
[04:58] <Balian> I dont haw it
[04:58] <mistergibson> I must say, I like ubuntu much more than gentoo
[04:58] <a-stray-cat> anyone feel like helping me getting sound to work with flash in firefox on an amd64? :o
[04:59] <td123> a-stray-cat: no
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> QQ
[04:59] <td123> a-stray-cat: but google will :P
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> ive tried google :< i ended up installing swiftweasel 32
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> and it works
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> but i'd rather just use the 64-bit firefox
[04:59] <syndr0> imaginator, nothing happened when i plugged it in
[04:59] <generalsnus> join #ldap
[05:00] <syndr0> i think ima follow some directions with older drivers
[05:01] <imaginator> syndr0: http://eocp.sourceforge.net/  I'm not sure how good those drivers are though.
[05:01] <Blaqlight> syndr0: sometimes older drivers can be dangerous, especially ones that can't see over the steering wheel..
[05:01] <iamdave> I tried to configurer xorg.conf to squeeze some extra resolutions out of my laptop, and all of a sudden compiz isn't workring
[05:01] <iamdave> "cannot enable desktop effects" any ideas there?
[05:01] <ManualOverDozer8> where are module alias loaded in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy ?
[05:02] <syndr0> ty blaqlight
[05:02] <syndr0> ty imaginator

[05:02] <iamdave> er no
[05:02] <iamdave> system 2gb
[05:03] <xynthpop> i tried the less /etc/passwd thing
[05:03] <Blaqlight> drivers are current and the correct ones for your card?
[05:03] <xynthpop> it just gave my a bunch of flie names
[05:03] <iamdave> ayup
[05:03] <xynthpop> and colons and x's
[05:03] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: it works for me.
[05:03] <xynthpop> no usernames
[05:03] <xynthpop> i'm using Ubuntu studios hardy
[05:03] <xynthpop> any diff with that?
[05:03] <cory> Hello
[05:03] <Guest15056> ok so whats the deal? how come my network icon is gone in the system tray?
[05:04] <syndr0> imaginator, they dont have anydriver for linux yet ;o
[05:04] <iamdave> you should be able to just add it back guest
[05:04] <iamdave> right click the panel, add to panel
[05:04] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: no idea, never used it. shouldn't be any difference though..
[05:04] <xynthpop> Blaqlight what kind of info do you see when you less etc/passwd?
[05:04] <xynthpop> yeah this is weird
[05:04] <Guest15056> i hit alt+f2 and typed nm-applet and it said it wasnt found
[05:04] <xynthpop> cuz i swear i know what i put
[05:04] <xynthpop> but it doesn't work
[05:04] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help with a problem Java applet plese?
[05:04] <xynthpop> and i tried all the variations i might use
[05:04] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: john:x:1000:1000:john,,,:/home/john:/bin/bash
[05:05] <xynthpop> yeah i was getting that
[05:05] <a-stray-cat> blah, td123 leave?
[05:05] <xynthpop> but with like daemon:x:something
[05:05] <Blaqlight> thats what my user thingy looks like using it.
[05:05] <xynthpop> proxy:x:
[05:05] <Guest15056> iamdave:is there another way to get wireless back besides alt+f2 then typing nm-applet?
[05:05] <iamdave> what I just told you to do?
[05:05] <iamdave> right click the panel and click add to panel.
[05:05] <xynthpop> one said nobody:x:nonexistent or something
[05:05] <xynthpop> could that be it?
[05:05] <iamdave> scroll down to network monitor
[05:06] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: look for an entry that looks exactly like that <insert username> at the beginning of the line
[05:06] <Guest15056> network monitor isnt the same thing. it doesnt give a drop down list of the possible networks to connect to.
[05:06] <xynthpop> yeah i scanned the whole thing
[05:06] <xynthpop> no username that i ever set is on there
[05:06] <Reformer81> I'm looking for instructions on how to use ffmpeg to convert videos to DVD format (specifically .FLV -> DVD).  I had found these instructions before, but Google seems to have misplaced them :)
[05:06] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: your user has to have a UID in the case above 1000
[05:07] <xynthpop> i wonder if i got turned into nobody with a password of nonexistent
[05:07] <imaginator> syndr0: ah, ok.  Do you happen to know what the usb id is of the eyetoy?  (you can find it with lsusb)
[05:07] <SixStringer> xynthpop - do you have a root password?
[05:07] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:07] <generalsnus> The past week i have tried to come up with a solution for authenticating linux clients to W2k3 AD, and also mount the users /home folders when they login, with no extra authentication. seems that the mounting of /home..is the biggest problem here. so if this aint possible. is there a "easy" howto..to do the same thing with a openLDAP server as authentication?
[05:07] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is<PHONE_NUMBER>00"  wtf? :/
[05:07] <xynthpop> i use it to get into the root shell thing
[05:07] <syndr0> imaginator mind if we go private?
[05:07] <imaginator> that's fine
[05:07] <xynthpop> i also managed to reset my Unix password
[05:07] <xynthpop> not sure what that is
[05:08] <l3d> ayttm
[05:08] <SixStringer> then you can probably sudo passwd <user> <password>
[05:08] <xynthpop> i don't have a username
[05:09] <xynthpop> i set it and now it doesn't recognize it
[05:09] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: here do this which shell do you use?
[05:09] <xynthpop> so i was looking for a way to see a list of usernames
[05:09] <OzFalcon> Anyone know how to get camorama plugins?
[05:09] <xynthpop> it's the one on system recovery from grub
[05:09] <Blaqlight> bash yes?
[05:09] <ManualOverDozer8> module alias's stored where on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy ? /etc/modprobe.conf ?
[05:09] <xynthpop> the boot shell option
[05:10] <SixStringer> cat /etc/passwd the first column is all of the users.
[05:10] <cvd-pr> thanks
[05:10] <xynthpop> really?
[05:10] <xynthpop> it looks like files and stuff for me
[05:10] <SixStringer> yes.
[05:10] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: if so do this 'less /etc/passwd | grep /bin/bash
[05:10] <xynthpop> there's one that's proxy
[05:10] <xynthpop> one is daemon
[05:10] <Blaqlight> it will show all the users in there that have a login shell
[05:10] <xynthpop> it looks like file info not usernames
[05:10] <SixStringer> you'll see syslog klog uucp.
[05:10] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:10] <xynthpop> i saw that
[05:11] <SixStringer> so if you're looking for a username look near the bottom of the file.
[05:11] <xynthpop> there was one that said "nobody"
[05:11] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: so who has a login shell?
[05:12] <xynthpop> who?
[05:12] <SixStringer> yes...I think nobody is in all /etc/passwd file in ubuntu.
[05:12] <generalsnus> The past week i have tried to come up with a solution for authenticating linux clients to W2k3 AD, and also mount the users /home folders when they login, with no extra authentication. seems that the mounting of /home..is the biggest problem here. so if this aint possible. is there a "easy" howto..to do the same thing with a openLDAP server as authentication?
[05:12] <xynthpop> ok so that's not me
[05:12] <xynthpop> what if there's no username in there?
[05:12] <eaglejazz> anybody have a favorite rss reader in ubuntu they can reccomend?
[05:12] <SixStringer> generalsnus...check out likewise
[05:12] <Johnny> how can i load icons for nautilus --no-desktop if im not running gnome
[05:12] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: do 'less /etc/passwd | grep /bin/bash' to see who has a login shell
[05:12] <SixStringer> you can create a user by typing adduser at the prompt
[05:12] <xynthpop> ok
[05:13] <xynthpop> at the root shell promt from recovery mode?
[05:13] <generalsnus> SixStringer: likewise dosent help me with the mounting of /home folders
[05:13] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: thats fine.
[05:14] <SixStringer> oh no...you're looking for a bit more than authentication and authorization, I take it..
[05:14] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: should list Root and a user
[05:14] <Elijah> how do i extract a gz file in terminal
[05:14] <xynthpop> i think so
[05:14] <Elijah> well actually how do i extract a tar.gz
[05:14] <xynthpop> i just installed it
[05:14] <xynthpop> haven't even started it up yet
[05:14] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: if only root then there are no users who can login... meaning you must create one.
[05:14] <happihippo> Elijah:  I think you can use tar
[05:14] <SixStringer> where are you trying to mount that /home directory?
[05:15] <xynthpop> so adduser USER password?
[05:15] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: might want to man adduser first :P
[05:15] <Johnny> how can i load icons for nautilus --no-desktop if im not running gnome
[05:15] <xynthpop> man
[05:15] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: in case you want some other options set..
[05:15] <xynthpop> i saw that too
[05:15] <SixStringer> you can type adduser username <enter> and follow the rest.
[05:15] <eaglejazz> :( rss reader anyone?
[05:15] <xynthpop> in that etc/passwd thing
[05:16] <SixStringer> sudo adduser <username>
[05:16] <happihippo> eaglejazz:  opera?
[05:16] <Blaqlight> man is its own user :P
[05:16] <daemon3> Is there a good application for creating a stereo pair?  I have the two images, I just need to put them side by side in one image.  I could do it with the gimp, but that would take too long.
[05:16] <xynthpop> w/o the <> i would imagine?
[05:17] <happihippo> daemon3:  I know of some in windoze
[05:17] <Guest15056> iamdave:
[05:17] <Blaqlight> Johnny: type gnome-session into a terminal
[05:17] <Johnny> im not in gnome
[05:17] <SixStringer> yes that's right.
[05:17] <SixStringer> xynth..
[05:17] <xynthpop> kewl
[05:17] <Blaqlight> Johnny: its not available or you want to run gnome without actually running gnome or what?
[05:18] <daemon3> happihippo: Any for Linux yet?
[05:18] <xynthpop> brb, hopefully this works
[05:18] <happihippo> daemon3: you can try plascolin
[05:18] <Elijah> happihippo, i can't use tar it says,
[05:19] <Johnny> yea that just completely fucked up my wm
[05:19] <Elijah> how do i extract a tar.gx in cli
[05:19] <Elijah> tar.gz
[05:19] <nickrud> Johnny nautilus is what displays the icons; when you run with --no-desktop there will be no icons
[05:19] <happihippo> Elijah:  are you using the right options?
[05:19] <Blaqlight> Johnny: instead of panicking just close the terminal :P
[05:19] <Johnny> icons in nautilus Nick_
[05:19] <Elijah> i used tar -xf filename.tar.gz
[05:19] <Johnny> i couldnt Blaqlight
[05:20] <Johnny> it took over my wm
[05:20] <SixStringer> tar -zxvf whatever.tar.gz
[05:20] <nickrud> Johnny precisely. If you run nautilus  without --no-desktop, you get icons.
[05:20] <Johnny> and no all my settings are screwed up
[05:20] <Elijah> it says "thiis does not look like a tar archive"
[05:20] <SixStringer> you can try to gunzip the file file first, then do a tar -xvf
[05:20] <DysfunXionaL> What would be the best way to transfer files from my girl's computer in another town to mine??
[05:20] <daemon3> Well, the good thing about open source is that if it doesn't exist, you can make it. :)
[05:21] <nickrud> DysfunXionaL ssh
[05:21] <Blaqlight> Johnny: running gnome-session from a terminal just runs that, if you close the termianl it goes back to what wm it was before.. I do it all the time in fluxbox.
[05:21] <Johnny> nickrud, i had it set to use oxygen icons and now i dont know how
[05:21] <happihippo> I use:  tar xvpfj filename.tar.gz -C [destination]
[05:21] <Elijah> SixStringer, and there it goes! thanks
[05:21] <SixStringer> Dys...scp
[05:21] <SixStringer> no prob..
[05:21] <Johnny> it went on top of awesome Blaqlight
[05:21] <Johnny> i couldnt get to the terminal
[05:22] <Johnny> and i couldnt open anything
[05:22] <DysfunXionaL> ty
[05:22] <nickrud> Johnny I repeat: when nautilus draws the desktop, you get icons. Now, if you use some other desktop manager, that may be setting your icons
[05:22] <nickrud> yeah, gnome-session starts a window manager and all
[05:22] <Blaqlight> I must have completely misunderstood what you wanted then :(
[05:23] <notsonerdysunny> is there a equivalent of /etc/inittab in ubuntu?
[05:23] <nickrud> notsonerdysunny /etc/event.d
[05:23] <Johnny> i just want to replace the folder icons in nautilus --no-desktop from the standard ones to the ones i had it set for
[05:23] <Johnny> i had it just a second ago
[05:23] <notsonerdysunny> thanks nickrud
[05:23] <nickrud> Johnny oh, the icons <inside> of nautilus, not on the desktop
[05:24] <Johnny> yea
[05:24] <nickrud> Johnny iirc, you can start gnome-settings-daemon but I'm not sure
[05:24] <notsonerdysunny> How would set up a ubuntu box to not start x?
[05:24] <Blaqlight> Im so confused now..
[05:24] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?
[05:24] <nickrud> notsonerdysunny sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm /etc/rc2.d/K30gdm
[05:25] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  runlevel 3
[05:25] <SixStringer> neo - easiest thing is to try a new mouse...
[05:26] <notsonerdysunny> happihippo: yea I know i have to run it to runlevel 3 .. but where do i set it .. I would set it in the /etc/inittab file in a fedora/redhat distro..
[05:26] <happihippo> I always set it on boot in grub
[05:26] <Johnny> is there an app to change the icons in my gtk icons in a light window manger
[05:26] <neoaddict> SixStringer: same prob with diff mouse
[05:27] <nickrud> Johnny you can set an icon theme with gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme .
[05:27] <Blaqlight> thats funny, I try to run gnome-settings-daemon and I get a funny error : ** (gnome-settings-daemon:7450): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-erSgv2IljU: Connection refused
[05:28] <Johnny> its already set to the theme i want Nick_
[05:28] <notsonerdysunny> happihippo: would I just add runlevel=3 to the boot command on boot?
[05:28] <SixStringer> neo - when was the last time you booted that box?
[05:28] <Johnny> nickrud, *
[05:28] <Johnny> im in awesome not gnome
[05:28] <neoaddict> SixStringer: a few hours ago
[05:28] <SixStringer> has it been doing that since you bootd?
[05:28] <SixStringer> booted?
[05:28] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  that's what I do.
[05:28] <neoaddict> SixStringer: even before
[05:28] <notsonerdysunny> thanks happihippo
[05:29] <nickrud> Johnny gconfd is where nautilus reads settings from. I do believe you need to have that running for nautilus to use anything but defaults
[05:29] <notsonerdysunny> thanks nickrud
[05:29] <nickrud> notsonerdysunny run level 3 is the same as run level 2 in ubuntu (as far as graphical/console goes)
[05:29] <Johnny> how do i run it nickrud
[05:29] <SixStringer> That's strange...um...  Do you have the ubuntu install cd?  I would try booting from that and seeing if the live cd give you the same result.
[05:29] <dfl> hello
[05:30] <nickrud> Johnny try   gconfd &  in a terminal
[05:30] <xynthpop> password girl again
[05:30] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  you can also try editing /etc/inittab
[05:30] <Johnny> not there
[05:30] <neoaddict>  SixStringer: mkay
[05:30] <xynthpop> it worked!
[05:30] <guestadmin_> nickrud, one more question, sorry, what is this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/32864/
[05:30] <SixStringer> xynth...what happened?
[05:30] <xynthpop> i added myself
[05:30] <SixStringer> oh good..
[05:30] <nickrud> Johnny but it's been quite a while since I've tried running just parts of gnome, not the full environment
[05:30] <xynthpop> and i logged in successfully
[05:30] <SixStringer> now you're a real person :)
[05:30] <xynthpop> just wondering
[05:30] <notsonerdysunny> happihippo: i don't find a inittab in the ubuntu distro
[05:30] <xynthpop> lol
[05:30] <xynthpop> AT LAST
[05:30] <Johnny> can i edit the icons in nautilus somehow?
[05:30] <xynthpop> now i just need to know the magic words to type to get into gui land
[05:31] <SixStringer> your machine boots to a login prompt?
[05:31] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:31] <xynthpop> command line
[05:31] <nickrud> guestadmin_ say Yes, and for any others like that you see. That is there so that if you have manually edited any of the system config files you can keep your personalization. Unless you know you edited anything in /etc , just say yes
[05:31] <xynthpop> not gui input
[05:31] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  try "telinit 3"
[05:31] <ManualOverDozer8> there is a way to star x from there
[05:32] <murlidhar> xynthpop: try startx
[05:32] <SixStringer> yes...
[05:32] <xynthpop> startx?
[05:32] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok will do, thx
[05:32] <Yondering> xynthpop, startx should work, after you log in.
[05:32] <SixStringer> you might have to sudo startx
[05:32] <happihippo> to start x type "startx"
[05:32] <xynthpop> ok
[05:32] <xynthpop> any way i can set this to go to desktop automatically?
[05:32] <nickrud> ohhh, don't run X from recovery console unless you know exactly what you are doing
[05:32] <nickrud> xynthpop yes, type exit
[05:32] <ManualOverDozer8> options session
[05:32] <xynthpop> no i mean like
[05:33] <xynthpop> to actually start up
[05:33] <tytap> hello,  i received an offer from a friend which is he selling it new.  can anybody le me know if Ubuntu can be installed right away - Sony VAIO VGN-NR385E/W Notebook laptop .
[05:33] <xynthpop> like when i run the kernel it goes to the login thingee
[05:33] <nickrud> xynthpop it should start automatically when you boot up normally. It's not doing that?
[05:33] <happihippo> from runlevel 3 you can use startx to get to gnome just fine
[05:33] <xynthpop> not a gui login
[05:33] <SixStringer> first see if x comes up...
[05:33] <xynthpop> it goes into this text login prompt
[05:33] <nickrud> happihippo try this:   ls /etc/rc3.d/S30gdm
[05:33] <xynthpop> and when i log in it gives me a command line
[05:34] <SixStringer> what do you get when you type startx?
[05:34] <xynthpop> myname@system~ or something
[05:34] <ManualOverDozer8> xynthpop : System/Administration/Login Screen
[05:34] <ManualOverDozer8> xynthpop : System/Administration/Login Screen : choose session
[05:34] <nickrud> xynthpop type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:34] <xynthpop> haven't tried that yet
[05:34] <ManualOverDozer8> yes, nickrud has it
[05:34] <xynthpop> gnome desktop manager?
[05:34] <SixStringer> yep.
[05:34] <nickrud> xynthpop a good choice ;)
[05:35] <xynthpop> so i should do that?
[05:35] <xynthpop> or startx?
[05:35] <SixStringer> run nickrud's command xynth..
[05:35] <xynthpop> kk
[05:35] <ManualOverDozer8> nickrud : may i ask you a question concerning aliases, reguarding modprobe ? is it a compatability issue, to have to make aliases for modules ?
[05:36] <xynthpop> thx everyone
[05:36] <SixStringer> did it come up?
[05:36] <SixStringer> x...that is.
[05:37] <tytap> help please... i received an offer from a friend which is he selling it a new sony vaio lapto. Is Ubuntu compatible with new computers?
[05:37] <nickrud> ManualOverDozer8 you looking at aliases in that dir?
[05:37] <happihippo> tytap:  I would think so
[05:37] <xynthpop> i have to reboot
[05:37]  * nickrud puts off answering, hoping the truth comes back to mind
[05:37] <xynthpop> i'm in vista *uck*
[05:37] <Blaqlight> tytap: how 'new' is new?
[05:37] <ManualOverDozer8> nickrud : in the aliases file yes, i checked it out, i needed to know, cause a friend may need to insert and alias
[05:37] <SixStringer> ubuntu should run nice on that Sony.  Try google for a hardware compatibility list for Ubuntu and see what pops up.
[05:37]  * De[X]tone be back latter, restarting - try to load synaptics
[05:37] <happihippo> tytap:  you can always try ubuntu live CD
[05:38] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: strike one for you :P
[05:38] <xynthpop> :P
[05:38] <happihippo> Hey, I run Vista too (on some of my boxes), it's not all that bad
[05:38] <tytap> the computer is brand new...Sony VAIO VGN-NR385E.  opened, but barely used.
[05:38] <nickrud> ManualOverDozer8 it's been a few years since I did anything really kernel related. I vaguely remember why they use aliases, but not well enough t comment. (in other words, I don't know ;)
[05:39] <ManualOverDozer8> nickrud : ok, thank you
[05:39] <Blaqlight> SixStringer: it all depends on how new the hardware is... if its bleeding edge new its prolly not going to run perfectly.
[05:39] <xynthpop> i do audio stuff so all the "industry standard" stuff requires a win or mac os
[05:39] <ldiain> any programmers on, I need to know what resource file to edit to set the environment correctly so that I dont have to push any -l or -L arguments for standard libs and includes
[05:39] <SixStringer> vista is such a piece of garbage.  XP finally grew up and became somewhat stable and then they put out that piece of garbage.
[05:39] <ManualOverDozer8> mac is very common in the media industry
[05:39] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:39] <SixStringer> you're prob right blaq..
[05:40] <moreau> phantom: tell it to force connect to a network
[05:40] <xynthpop> protools still runs better on it
[05:40] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?  ok on ubuntu live cd, but not on system
[05:40] <ManualOverDozer8> look at all the governments that use linux servers
[05:40] <SixStringer> I'd love to get my hands on a copy of protools...
[05:40] <Blaqlight> sony laptops tend to bleeding edge new... but if its new in the box but a year old its going to run better.
[05:40] <happihippo> tytap:  http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/
[05:41] <happihippo> Vista is stable for me, then again I run about 15 os'
[05:41] <nickrud> Blaqlight I'm perty sure it's documented in the kernel docs
[05:42] <Blaqlight> nickrud: I know, just saying don't be shocked is all :D
[05:42] <tytap> thanks for all you help:)
[05:43] <imaginator> neoaddict: I see you're still struggling with that mouse issue.  It sounds like it might be something else other than the mouse in this case, considering it works with a live cd.
[05:43] <imaginator> neoaddict: does it behave that way with all mouse buttons?  What happens when you try to right-click the desktop for instance?
[05:44] <ManualOverDozer8> speaking of mouse issues ... my scroll wheel goes way too fast, is there any way i can slow it down ? it is way to jumpy
[05:44] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?  ok on ubuntu live cd, but not on system
[05:45] <ManualOverDozer8> neaddict L just going from what i see, there is options to be able to control things like mouse-over, hold-time, single-click-delays , double-click-thresholds, etc
[05:45] <SixStringer> neo...can you check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and search for mouse?
[05:45] <ManualOverDozer8> i just cant happen to find the one for the wheel
[05:45] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict let me see if i can find that section again, maybe it will help
[05:46] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: ok
[05:46] <neoaddict> SixStringer: it is there
[05:46] <Balian> i instali ubuntu 6.12 and i need hawe Boot disc on flopy disc how do this pleas Help i konow google but i can't fund this
[05:46] <Balian> HELP
[05:46] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: the mouse config for GNOME?
[05:47] <Flannel> Balian: There is no Ubuntu 6.12.  Which version are you trying to install, and why do you need a floppy boot disk?
[05:48] <xynthpop> oh god
[05:48] <xynthpop> i'm not in the superdoers file
[05:48] <J-_> It appears that ccsm isn't in my menu even after refrshing gnome-panel. Any suggestions?
[05:48] <xynthpop> ;_;
[05:48] <Flannel> xynthpop: you wouldn't be.
[05:48] <xynthpop> This incident will be reported
[05:48] <Rat409> lol
[05:48] <xynthpop> i'm just not super enough
[05:49] <Flannel> xynthpop: type 'groups', are you in admin?
[05:49] <xynthpop> so my computer thinks i'm trying to hack it
[05:49] <ManualOverDozer8> neaaddict : found it > gconf-editor    you may need to install it from SPM there  is all types of options there. the ones for the mouse-click stuff is in there too
[05:49] <xynthpop> maybe the adduser command doesn't create admins?
[05:49] <J-_> Going to restart X, see if that does it
[05:49] <Flannel> xynthpop: What groups are you in? (whats the output of 'groups')
[05:49] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict: i think i checked the mouse options, but i will check again. i dont think i seen a wheel control
[05:50] <xynthpop> i'll have to restart and enter it
[05:51] <SixStringer> i guess xynthpop is dual-bootin'
[05:51] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict: no option for wheel control in Sys/Pref/Mouse  maybe i can find a linux driver for the mouse that jas it. it must be the generic mouse driver support that is installed. works but wheel too fast. maybe have to deal with it
[05:52] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: doesn't seem to be a wheel problem; seems that the buttons are messed up
[05:52] <Rat409> ManualOverDozer8: try gsynaptics?
[05:52] <Balian> bicouse i don't want have boot on hdd
[05:52] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: b/c for example in the mouse config, when i click on the lightbulb, it starts off as bright, then goes dimmer o_O
[05:52] <Balian> flannel bicouse i don't want have boot on hdd
[05:53] <danfuhry> ehh, anyone know what the situation is with the broken yelp in the main repo?
[05:53] <happihippo> ManualOverDozer8:  have you tried looking at xorg.conf?
[05:53] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict : i see. yes, sometimes i see it happen with mine, but very rare. i dont know what does it, but it happens so little i dont think anything of it
[05:53] <Flannel> !grub | Balian
[05:53] <Flannel> Balian: second link will get you all set up
[05:54] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: yeah, and single-clicks became double-clicks in nautilus all of a sudden o_O
[05:54] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : yes it says : Identifier	"Configured Mouse
[05:54] <ManualOverDozer8> only basic mouse driver i would suppose
[05:54] <Vamps> is there more then one boodloader liek grub for ubuntu or linux  in general
[05:54] <Flannel> !lilo | Vamps
[05:54] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict by chance is accessability enabled ?
[05:54] <danfuhry> Vamps: grub is grub, it's pretty much the same on all distros.
[05:54] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: no
[05:55] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : there is only 3 lines including  : Option		"CorePointer"
[05:55] <Vamps> there are alternatives but grub would be the best
[05:55] <selocol> i cant view big5 stuff in a telnet session. how do i add support for this locale?
[05:55] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : nothing really there, but you gave me an idea. maybe there is an "Option" i can isnter that will fix the issue. thanks
[05:56] <happihippo> I think it's Option ZAxisMapping, but I'm not sure
[05:56] <xynthpop> ok as far as the groups command it showed me as the only group when i logged in, and when i useed the root in recovery mmode it showed only root
[05:56] <Balian> i know wath is grub but i want do boot (grub) on floppy disc and i do boot CD
[05:56] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : by the way, its a MS-Comfort3000 Optical . maybe linux is looking at it as a rouge device ;)
[05:56] <SixStringer> ok xynthpop...you need to open the /etc/group file.
[05:57] <Balian> Flannel i know wath is grub but i want do boot (grub) on floppy disc and i do boot CD
[05:57] <Flannel> xynthpop: What did you do recently with groups?  tried to add yourself to another group with like usermod?
[05:57] <Flannel> SixStringer: no, he doesn't.
[05:57] <xynthpop> just typed groups
[05:57] <xynthpop> she lol
[05:57] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : wonderfull idea, i will get right to it
[05:57] <Flannel> xynthpop: Before that.  Before it broke.
[05:57] <xynthpop> oh this is an install
[05:57] <xynthpop> it hasn't worked yet
[05:58] <SixStringer> you should see a line in that file admin:x:115 or something like that..
[05:58] <Flannel> xynthpop: Er... What?
[05:58] <SixStringer> you running a live cd?
[05:58] <xynthpop> somehow i instlalled without a admin account
[05:58] <vinod> how to install kmess-1.5.1.x86.package
[05:58] <Flannel> xynthpop: Whats your username? oem?
[05:58] <xynthpop> i installed from the Ubuntu Studios 8.04 live
[05:58] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : found this first hit on Google > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[05:58] <xynthpop> oem?
[05:59] <neoaddict> well this is sad - autoscroll doesn't even work anymore o_O
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: what group are you in?  (whats your username?)
[05:59] <SixStringer> xynthpop - are you trying to dual-boot?
[05:59] <vinod> i don't know
[05:59] <xynthpop> oh um it only shows one group when i type groups
[05:59] <xynthpop> and it's whatever i'm logged in as
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: and that group is?
[05:59] <bangers_> I have the 2 cron jobs, can someone pelase confirm they'll run correctly at 3am every monday, and for the second one, every hour on the hour?
[05:59] <bangers_> 0 3 * * 1 /usr/bin/foobar
[05:59] <bangers_> 0 * * * * /usr/bin/foobar
[05:59] <xynthpop> root or my name
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: and that username is?
[05:59] <ManualOverDozer8> thing is, i have a button on the side i like to double up as middle-click, this would be great if i can get it working like that
[05:59] <happihippo> well there you go!
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: batteryp?
[06:00] <xynthpop> lol
[06:00] <Flannel> xynthpop: Alright, well,  users and groups are set up last, so it might be that your install didn't finish properly.
[06:00] <xynthpop> where are you getting this?
[06:00] <xynthpop> ohhh
[06:00] <xynthpop> that realname thing?
[06:00] <xynthpop> i'm logged into windows atm
[06:00] <bangers_> anyone??
[06:00] <xynthpop> i'm trying to get my hardy to function for the first time
[06:00] <Flannel> xynthpop: You should ask in #ubuntustudio, they might know more.  Or try installing with an original Ubuntu, and then cnverting to ubuntu studio
[06:01] <happihippo> bangers_:  lemme check
[06:01] <xynthpop> i've got a copy of the gutsy version
[06:01] <meoblast001> hi
[06:01] <xynthpop> should i try that?
[06:01] <Flannel> bangers_: yes.
[06:01] <SixStringer> xynthpop...
[06:02] <SixStringer> I had ubuntu studio at one point too.
[06:02] <xynthpop> omg
[06:02] <xynthpop> does it suck ass?
[06:02] <meoblast001> i have a question..... i have a friend who wants ubuntu but doesnt want to make a launchpad account.... if i sent it to his address with my account, would it send him my password by any chance? im paranoid about my password
[06:02] <xynthpop> i mean
[06:02] <xynthpop> butt
[06:02] <bangers_> Thanks !!
[06:02] <SixStringer> You're better off going with the regular install and then adding the studio stuff on afterward.
[06:02] <bangers_> :q!
[06:02] <xynthpop> is it worth adding?
[06:02] <SixStringer> It's just a different theme with a bunch of media packages that get installed..
[06:02] <xynthpop> or is there something that's better for audio?
[06:03] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:03] <xynthpop> and a silly desktop theme :P
[06:03] <danfuhry> meoblast001: aside from the six to ten weeks and the whole deal with a strange internationally shipped package arriving, you'll be save sending it to him by mail
[06:03] <SixStringer> Well, are you more interested in ubuntu or is the media stuff what you're trying to get at?
[06:03] <danfuhry> *safe
[06:03] <Flannel> xynthpop: Everything in ubuntu studio is available in the regular repositories.
[06:03] <Flannel> xynthpop: So if you want just something specific, you can always just add that particular program
[06:03] <jose> Hello can someone help me out with installing the new nvidia drivers please?
[06:04] <xynthpop> it's just packaged that way right?
[06:04] <greg_> can anyone suggest a DVD encoder for making DVD from .avi, .mpeg, .mpg etc?Thanks
[06:04] <happihippo> bangers_: looks good to me
[06:04] <xynthpop> yeah actually i had to drop all the media stuff to get it to install
[06:04] <xynthpop> it freaked out on me a few times
[06:04] <xynthpop> i think it really hates my laptop :P
[06:04] <SixStringer> try the regular ubuntu install first, then you can add the studio stuff afterwards...It's much easier.
[06:04] <jose> Hello can someone help me out with installing the new nvidia drivers please?
[06:04] <danfuhry> jose: have you tried using restricted drivers manager?
[06:04] <jose> yes
[06:04] <jose> but I need the latest ones from nvidia
[06:05] <jose> website
[06:05] <happihippo> jose:  which nvidia card?
[06:05] <jose> 8800 GTS
[06:05] <jose> I have the drives on the desktop
[06:05] <foool> new to linux - Is it possible to set just the folders with a file permission recursivly to 755 and files only to 644, without having to do each one at a time?
[06:05] <jose> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run
[06:05] <maxhrk> hi all
[06:06] <xynthpop> so how do i repair the damage done and just get back to 2 the two main partitions instead of writing to other parts of the disc?
[06:06] <SixStringer> chmod 755 folder/ --recursive
[06:06] <maxhrk> anyone know there a fire plugin for compiz? Like when i close or open the app/window, the fire effect occurs.
[06:06] <danfuhry> foool: i believe you can use a capital X instead of lowercase to only set it on folders and leave it off on files
[06:06] <HorizonXP> hey, Transmission seems to be just closing on its own when i keep torrents open. I'm losing a lot of my download progress, and it's taking longer than necessary because of the crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[06:06] <happihippo> jose: did you try running it?
[06:06] <jose> nop
[06:06] <jose> how can I run it
[06:06] <jose> lawl >.<
[06:06] <danfuhry> jose: open a terminal, type cd ~/Desktop
[06:06] <SixStringer> you want to re-install ubuntu on the same partition where you have it installed now.
[06:06] <danfuhry> then type:
[06:06] <vontux> hi, it is safte to resize a windows xp partition from gparted on live cd of ubuntu 8.04 correct?
[06:06] <jose> ready opened
[06:07] <jose> im ready there
[06:07] <danfuhry> sudo sh ./NVIDIA-......-pkg1.run
[06:07] <xynthpop> do i have to re gpart it?
[06:07] <neoaddict> so, no more ideas on my mouse dilemma? :-/
[06:07] <Vamps> swap mouse reboot lol
[06:07] <SixStringer> no you don't have to re-create the partition...It's probably already ext3.
[06:07] <happihippo> what dilemma is that neoaddict?
[06:08] <happihippo> I'd do the same as Vamps.  If you have a USB mouse, try using a ps2 mouse
[06:08] <Suspect|Lappy> Hey guys.. I was wondering if anyone could help me get Ubuntu to play nicer with my laptop's video card. I've gone from Ubuntu, to Debian Testing, and back to Ubuntu on my laptop and video used to work better, but now it seems to be really choppy and I can't seem to fix it. I have a Trident Cyberblade Ai1 or something like that... Google hasn't helped much :?
[06:08] <jose>  '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
[06:08] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?
[06:08] <danfuhry> foool: i've also used a more complex bash operation to do that: chmod -R 755 . && find . -type f | xargs chmod 644
[06:08] <neoaddict> happihippo: above message
[06:08] <jose> look what it says    -  >     ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
[06:08] <jose>          '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find
[06:08] <jose>          suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available
[06:08] <jose>          on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
[06:08] <FloodBot2> jose: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:08] <Vamps> have you tried the mouse on anothe rpc neo?
[06:09] <meoblast001> are there any differences between 64 and 32 bit ubuntu other than the ram limits?
[06:09] <foool> thanks guys
[06:09] <meoblast001> or is there any limitations that a normal user wouldnt like
[06:09] <danfuhry> meoblast001: forget running flash ;-)
[06:09] <guestadmin_> nickrud, not sure what this error is, everything just stopped after this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32881/  (I have the regular $ prompt at the bottom) , Not sure if its relevant, but firefox closed on its own, and my cursor is now black instead of white, with a timer thing like the old macs when its busy instead of the pretty firefox like dotten circle going round and round, cursor is also different when hihlighting text
[06:09] <happihippo> did you try a different mouse?
[06:09] <neoaddict> Vamps: well, i tried another mouse from another computer on this one, same problem; appears to be software problem?
[06:09] <meoblast001> danfuhry: should i recommend him 32 then?
[06:09] <happihippo> prolly xorg
[06:10] <vontux> hi, it is safte to resize a windows xp partition from gparted on live cd of ubuntu 8.04 correct?
[06:10] <SixStringer> vontux: I've done it safely once or twice...
[06:10] <happihippo> vontux, I haven't had any problems doing that, but you should back up first
[06:10] <danfuhry> meoblast001: probably good to recommend 32-bit unless he wants to squeeze out every last bit of performance
[06:11]  * danfuhry wonders if gparted uses ntfsresize as a backend
[06:11] <xynthpop> vontux, it's a little scary
[06:11] <glitsj16> neoaddict: have you checked your /var/log/Xorg.0.log yet for relevant warnings (WW) or errors (EE) ?
[06:11] <Vamps> neo : i from time to time do get the same problem.. not all the time mind you but once in a while.
[06:11] <neoaddict> happihippo: http://pastebin.com/m56ce516a
[06:11] <xynthpop> the dell support guy yelled at me for not using the windows one
[06:11] <SixStringer> eh...who needs windows anyway?
[06:11] <jose> I need help installing my Video card please
[06:11] <jose> Im getting an error
[06:11] <vontux> happihippo , SixStringer: how risky is it?
[06:11] <danfuhry> jose: paste the error in http://rafb.net/paste/
[06:11] <Suspect|Lappy> SixStringer, at least Windows has proper drivers for things Lol
[06:12] <SixStringer> well...it's better than it used to be.
[06:12] <DysfunXionaL> Back with some SSH probs lol
[06:12] <neoaddict> glitsj16: (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0) | (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
[06:12] <happihippo> I'm not sure how risky it is.  Like I said, I've done it, but if your data is important, it would be prudent to backup first.
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> I would love to get it so navigating web pages on my laptop wasn't so painful
[06:12] <xynthpop> SixStringer	eh...who needs windows anyway?---->me, as long as my linux won't werk
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> Stupid Trident videocard, lol
[06:12] <SixStringer> yeah well MS worked with a lot of hw vendors on that stuff.  If they didn't windows drivers would be crap too.
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> I understand that
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> Still..
[06:13] <SixStringer> you don't need windows...get a mac...especially for the media stuff.
[06:13] <DysfunXionaL> I'm on xUbuntu, she's on Ubuntu, both Hardy. She's server, both read "Howto SSH Gnome"
[06:13] <glitsj16> neoaddict: can't tell straight off if that's related, but error is error so somethings up with your xorg.conf hmm
[06:13] <Suspect|Lappy> I can't seem to find any help for getting my trident videocard to owrk nicer
[06:13] <Suspect|Lappy> Seems to be that no one cares about it

[06:13] <supratim> hi all! can you guys tell me how to backup installed softwares so that when I reformat i don't have to download them from the web?
[06:13] <glitsj16> neoaddict: thx, checking
[06:13] <xynthpop> GET A MAC
[06:13] <xynthpop> PAY WITH SNAKES
[06:14] <Ben> Hi, all
[06:14] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: Ill pass.
[06:14] <Blaqlight> poor snakes.
[06:14] <Blaqlight> !hi | Ben
[06:14] <SixStringer> mac's aren't cheap, but at least for media folks, it's a great environment to work in.
[06:14] <DysfunXionaL> Tried logging in thru terminal, doesn't ask for pass or do anything, also tried 'sftp user@box' no luck
[06:14] <happihippo> neoaddict:  you can try this link
[06:14] <happihippo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[06:14] <Suspect|Lappy> Heh
[06:15] <guestadmin_> Or, anyone else out there, I'm not sure what this error is, (Just did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to Gutsy) everything just stopped after this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32881/  (I have the regular $ prompt at the bottom) , Not sure if its relevant, but firefox closed on its own, and my cursor is now black instead of white, with a timer thing like the old macs when its busy instead of the pretty firefox like dotten circle going round
[06:15] <guestadmin_> and round, cursor is also different when highlighting text. Is Gutsy fully installed?
[06:15] <xynthpop> yeah if you're going to build a big DAW
[06:15] <rebel_kid> odd, stupid question... im very new to programming, i know javascript fairly well but im looking to learn basic computer programming, what is the simplest language i can start off with, i need it to do basic computations and basic user graphical interface, with the ability to be compiled into a linux or windows program
[06:15] <jose> danfuhry
[06:15] <Miesco> How do I install a source but make it a deb package first
[06:15] <Flannel> rebel_kid: Check out python.  diveintopython.org and theres a tutorial on python.org too
[06:15] <SixStringer> are you going to re-install on your machine xynth?
[06:15] <glitsj16> neoaddict: what does that "compose:menu" option in your Generic Keyboard section do exactly ? do you know ?
[06:16] <Ben> Thank you, I have bought a new computer and i install fedora8 in it.
[06:16] <xynthpop> i guess
[06:16] <rebel_kid> Flannel: i thought python was a web based language
[06:16] <glitsj16> neoaddict: line 23 that is
[06:16] <neoaddict> glitsj16: third-level chooser for accented characters, eg é
[06:16] <Flannel> rebel_kid: Nope
[06:16] <SixStringer> it's the best way to go.
[06:16] <xynthpop> is there a more idiot--proof version?
[06:16] <danfuhry> rebel_kid: only if you work for google ;-)
[06:16] <neoaddict> glitsj16: however, i have a regular 2 button + middle button mouse :-/
[06:16] <Flannel> rebel_kid: about a third of the stuff in Ubuntu is held together with python
[06:16] <glitsj16> neoaddict: okay thx
[06:16] <rebel_kid> Flannel: awesome, ill take a look and see if it will work
[06:16] <Blaqlight> python is a high-lvl programming language. php is for the web :P
[06:16] <SixStringer> The install isn't that bad.  You just need to pay a little bit of attention to the screens.
[06:17] <xynthpop> like cuz i so do not understand what's going on in those partitioning guides
[06:17] <Suspect|Lappy> Heh... so I guess no one knows how to get Ubuntu to work better on a trident video card?
[06:17] <SixStringer> you have an NTFS partition?
[06:17] <rebel_kid> my main concern is how simple is it, i just learned javascript, need to take baby steps :)
[06:17] <SixStringer> Just leave that one alone and you should be OK.
[06:17] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:17] <xynthpop> it's what i'm on atm
[06:17] <Flannel> rebel_kid: Lets move this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:18] <Johnny> how do you list just dirctories
[06:18] <SixStringer> typically for a quick ubuntu install, you create a partition and a swap area.
[06:18] <supratim> is it possible to backup installed softwares?
[06:18] <nickrud> guestadmin_ run sudo dpkg --configure -a , and put the output on paste.ubuntu.vcom
[06:18] <SixStringer> you can basically just let the installer do all the work.
[06:18] <glitsj16> neoaddict: going to add something to that paste you can try (if you haven't already) .. back with the URL in a minute
[06:18] <neoaddict> glitsj16: ok
[06:18] <SixStringer> The second time through it will be a little less scary too.
[06:19] <Suspect|Lappy> Hrm
[06:19] <xynthpop> i tried
[06:19] <xynthpop> now i've got like 6 partitions
[06:19] <xynthpop> from all the reinstalls
[06:19] <SixStringer> oh no...
[06:19] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:19] <arecibo> ok so
[06:19] <xynthpop> i mean
[06:20] <xynthpop> i could try the manual thing
[06:20] <SixStringer> yeah you're creating new partitions...You can wipe them out and start again.
[06:20] <xynthpop> but the guide is confusing enough
[06:20] <arecibo> how do i reset my root password?
[06:20] <xynthpop> how do i tell it to do that?
[06:20] <Flannel> arecibo: You don't want to.
[06:20] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: lol 6 is ok still, one for /var one for /tmp one for /home one for swap...
[06:20] <SixStringer> are you still in the partitioning tool?
[06:20] <arecibo> yeah i do, i locked myself out of my server
[06:20] <arecibo> well, another user changed the root password
[06:20] <bullgard4> 12 sticky notes have vanished. I can see only one, which I have created later. What file could store yet the sticky notes which are no longer displayed on my screen?
[06:20] <xynthpop> no, i'm in vista
[06:20] <Flannel> xynthpop: You just need two, one for / and one for swap.  Many times its better to have a separate (third) for /home.  You dfinately don't need six.
[06:21] <arecibo> :(
[06:21] <Flannel> arecibo: Lock the root account, and reset your user password, both through the recovery console.
[06:21] <xynthpop> yeah that's what it created at first
[06:21] <Ben> hi
[06:21] <xynthpop> but it left parts of the older partitions
[06:21] <arecibo> do i just passwd from recovery?
[06:21] <Flannel> arecibo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[06:21] <jose> danfuhry http://rafb.net/p/Hs7HH386.html
[06:21] <xynthpop> when i reinstalled
[06:21] <jose> thats the rror
[06:21] <jose> error
[06:21] <arecibo> thanks
[06:21] <Flannel> arecibo: and be sure to lock the root account too.  (passwd -l root)
[06:21] <SixStringer> oh ok...When you boot up and get to the partition area.  All of the partitions you created that are either ext3 or swap you can delete.  Then just let the installer use up the available space on the drive.
[06:22] <vontux> 8.04 can resize ntfs partitions safely correct?
[06:22] <danfuhry> jose: get another computer and log into IRC from there if possible
[06:22] <arecibo> you guys are more help than the slicehost support teamn
[06:22] <arecibo> :(]
[06:22] <arecibo> lol
[06:22] <neoaddict> glitsj16: will be back
[06:22] <glitsj16> neoaddict: http://pastebin.com/m4b254b27
[06:22] <SixStringer> just leave the NTFS partition alone...
[06:22] <xynthpop> wait so i can delete the extra partions in grub?
[06:22] <glitsj16> neoaddict: ok no rush
[06:22] <jose> ok
[06:22] <jose> brb
[06:22] <Blaqlight> ... Im so used to the old freebsd recomendations...
[06:22] <bsusa> hello all
[06:22] <SixStringer> you want to delete the partitions on the install.
[06:23] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, its still processing, will post output as soon as it stops
[06:23] <bsusa> i was just wondering does anyone have any experience in installing Ubuntu on PSP?
[06:23] <SixStringer> that's kind of way before the grub bootloader is installed.
[06:23] <vontux> SixStringer: nah, backing up a windows partition but I need to resize it so it will fit on a slightly smaller drive
[06:23] <xynthpop> i cant figure out how to tell it to do that
[06:23] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ok, I'll be in earshot for a while yet
[06:23] <xynthpop> when i go through the install process
[06:23] <vontux> I guess I'm asking, ubuntu 8.04 can interact with ntfs safely from the live-cd?
[06:23] <xynthpop> like i can't use the whole drive, ya dig, cuz it's got this partition on the other side
[06:23] <vontux> or at all I mean
[06:23] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is<PHONE_NUMBER>00"  wtf? :/
[06:24] <xynthpop> but if i do "free space" it ends up leaving these tiny partitions
[06:24] <SixStringer> It will tell you.  You should see an option to use existing space on the drive after you have deleted the other partitions.
[06:24] <xynthpop> and each time i reinstall the partition number is higher
[06:24] <SixStringer> right...
[06:24] <SixStringer> That's because you're not deleting the old partitions.
[06:24] <xynthpop> wouldn't it also delete my windows partition though?
[06:25] <xynthpop> in b4 don't need windows
[06:25] <jmk2> how do i add a user to multiple groups?
[06:25] <SixStringer> no it won't.  Just click on the partition you want to delete and click...that's it.
[06:25] <xynthpop> you can't click in the install
[06:25] <neoaddict> glitsj16: genius!
[06:25] <xynthpop> no mouse
[06:25] <glitsj16> neoaddict: better now ?
[06:26] <SixStringer> ok....
[06:26] <Ben> Hello, who knows emesene which is a msn client?
[06:26] <SixStringer> The cd you have is a live cd for ubuntu?
[06:26] <neoaddict> glitsj16: MUCH better
[06:26] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: make sure you want to get rid of them though.
[06:26] <neoaddict> Ben: what do you mean?
[06:26] <xynthpop> i didn't get an option to delete
[06:26] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:26] <jmk2> or via command-line?
[06:26] <Ben> I have installed the eMeSeNe.
[06:26] <neoaddict> glitsj16: so yeah, thanks XD
[06:26] <neoaddict> Ben: yeah, it's pretty awesome
[06:27] <rubanj> Hello all I am faced with a problem when trying to uninstall ubuntu on my wifes PC
[06:27] <jmk2> usermod group1 group2 username ?
[06:27] <Ben> But there are no friends in the list.
[06:27] <glitsj16> neoaddict: nice, the error from the keymap thing still there ? no problem, glad it's fixed
[06:27] <SixStringer> ok xynth..Do you know if the cd you have is a live cd or just an install disc?
[06:27] <neoaddict> Ben: did you login with your usual MSN account?
[06:27] <Blaqlight> rubanj: its easy, delete the partitions.
[06:27] <xynthpop> live i think
[06:27] <Ben> Yes, I can login in Amsn.
[06:27] <Flannel> jmk2: no.  usermod -G group1,group2,group3 -a username
[06:27] <rubanj> from where can I delete the partitions ?
[06:27] <xynthpop> but i never saw an option to boot from disc
[06:27] <jose> danfuhry can you tell me what to do so I can write it down please?
[06:27] <neoaddict> glitsj16: yeah, but it's ok
[06:27] <Blaqlight> rubanj: make sure you set windows to boot or you'll have an unbootable system.
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: press control-alt-f1
[06:28] <neoaddict> Ben: no, have you tried logging in with your regular MSN on account on emesene?
[06:28] <rubanj> its at the moment single boot only with linux
[06:28] <SixStringer> ok...when you boot up your computer do you need to hit F12 for the boot menu to choose the CD or DVD drive?
[06:28] <glitsj16> neoaddict: avoid the funny letters heh
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: log in with your normal username and password
[06:28] <foool> hi again re permissions - I am in dir /shop/ I want to change all dirs under - is this okay or? -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
[06:28] <rubanj> i want to clean install windows
[06:28] <Flannel> rubanj: just install windows like normal
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: cd ~/Desktop
[06:28] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:28] <Ben> when I login emesene,I can't find my name and no friends in it.
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:28] <xynthpop> that takes me in to the install
[06:28] <Ben> it's blank!
[06:28] <jose> ok
[06:28] <neoaddict> glitsj16: i was trying out KDE today, so i'll shove the blame to those evil KDE people XD
[06:28] <Blaqlight> rubanj: just install the new os over the top of it, no problem
[06:28] <xynthpop> it will install from disc it just won't boot from disc
[06:28] <Flannel> rubanj: "removing" OSes is simply overwriting them.  There's no real removal steps required.
[06:28] <SixStringer> right...There's an icon on the desktop for the install to run.
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: sudo sh ./NVIDIA-<version>.run
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: any errors on login?
[06:29] <SixStringer> ahh..ok.
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: wait
[06:29] <danfuhry> jose: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[06:29] <SixStringer> you probably have a problem with that cd..
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: i see.
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: most of the people on my list are offline too o_O
[06:29] <timothywcrane> " using mpegtolls- Can't find ppmtoy4m, please install it or check -M parameter" I cannot find ppmtoy4m anywhere, in any repository. Plz help
[06:29] <powertool08> danfuhry: you can also do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:29] <Ben> No, I can login in it, but nothing when I enter.
[06:29] <rubanj> I would have thought so .... but when I try to install windows from the CD windows installation tells me that there is no HDD present
[06:29] <glitsj16> neoaddict: heh, a lot of people trying out the new KDE 4.1 indeed ;)
[06:29] <SixStringer> you will probably need to burn another disc and make sure that it's a bootable image.
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: MSN outage, possibly?
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: nvm XD
[06:29] <jmk2> Flannel: thx
[06:29] <danfuhry> powertool08: not if nvidia requires that X server be stopped while driver is installing ;-)
[06:30] <SixStringer> you might have burned it just as a data disc.
[06:30] <Blaqlight> .. unless its windows which perfers to overwrite the entire drive with 1's and 0's *yawn*
[06:30] <nickrud> !find ppmtoy4m
[06:30] <neoaddict> Ben: how long have you logged in and not seen anybody on your buddy list?
[06:30] <Ben> OK, I'll try again this evening.
[06:30] <neoaddict> Ben: does it work with the Windows Live client?
[06:30] <Flannel> rubanj: You've probably got a SATA harddrive.  Windows XP doesn't know how to deal with SATAs (because its so old), you'll need to get a driver floppy and insert it when it asks you to during the boot.
[06:30] <xynthpop> when i checked the disc integrity it was ok
[06:30] <powertool08> danfuhry: ah, I didn't see why it was being stopped
[06:30] <xynthpop> i checked it
[06:30] <Ben> Thank you, Neoaddict.
[06:30] <SixStringer> integrity doesn't mean it's a boot disc though.
[06:30] <xynthpop> the disc had folders and such
[06:30] <Ben> I'm from China.  I have mjpegtools installed, verified, apt update- upgrade- reinstall still not found in locate or in usr/bin where it should be
[06:31] <Ben> I'm Chinese.
[06:31] <SixStringer> what program do you use to create CD's?
[06:31] <xynthpop> InfraRecorder for win
[06:32] <SixStringer> I've never tried that one..
[06:32] <timothywcrane> kdeden is supposed to be good
[06:32] <neoaddict> Ben: ok
[06:32] <timothywcrane> live
[06:32] <timothywcrane> kdedenlive sorry
[06:32] <nickrud> timothywcrane it's on my machine.   sudo apt-get install --reinstall mjpegtools would definitely reinstall the file in /usr/bin
[06:33] <neoaddict> Ben: enjoy your afternoon, but unfortunately, it's getting late here XD
[06:34] <nickrud> SixStringer ifrarecorder, imgburn in windows, gnomebaker and k3b for ubuntu are my usual tools
[06:34] <SixStringer> If you right-click on the iso file, does it give you an option to open it in a cd burning program?
[06:34] <timothywcrane> doing it now. Did it in synaptic earlier, but CLI is usually better
[06:34] <nickrud> SixStringer you can directly burn it from the right click menu in gnome (ubuntu)
[06:34] <Ben> Canada? it must be 18:00 there?
[06:34] <SixStringer> yeah..this is vista though for xynth..
[06:35] <nickrud> SixStringer imgburn
[06:35] <SixStringer> she's probably burnt a cd that's not bootable.
[06:35] <cisco80211> anyone else having midnight ISP failures?
[06:35] <nickrud> imgburn has never failed me burning an iso. And it verifies ;)
[06:35] <xynthpop> it doesn't give me the option to burn
[06:36] <xynthpop> but it does give me open with InfraRecorder
[06:36] <bsusa> i was just wondering does anyone have any experience in installing Ubuntu on PSP?
[06:36] <SixStringer> ok...nickrud put it out there...imgburn
[06:36] <nickrud> guestadmin_ still working?
[06:36] <guestadmin_> nickrud, yep
[06:36] <Blaqlight> imgburn hmmm I wish I would have known that before I spent all that money on nero... for burning iso's
[06:36] <Ben> How can I have a private conversation here? what is the order?
[06:37] <nickrud> Ben   /msg <nick>
[06:37] <SixStringer> nickrud..is that something you run in dos or is it an executable with an install?
[06:37] <timothywcrane> nickrud - did as you sid, still not located
[06:37] <timothywcrane> driving me nuts
[06:37] <timothywcrane> I am on heron if it matters
[06:37] <nickrud> SixStringer Don't remember exactly, and it's on my work machine, not here.
 No such nick/channel
[06:37] <SixStringer> ok..
[06:38] <SixStringer> hang on xynth..
[06:38] <guestadmin_> nickrud, I also noticed that my cursor is back to normal in everything  except its still weird in Firefox so far, wireless Internet disconnected for a split second and reconnected itself
[06:38] <nickrud> timothywcrane that is very odd. Try purging it, deleting it from the cache, and then reinstalling
[06:38] <Blaqlight> Ben: its a good idea to ask first before /msg ing people :D
[06:38] <jose> it gave me another error
[06:38] <nickrud> Blaqlight ben was smart, pm'd the guy that told him how to ;)
[06:39] <Blaqlight> lol nice.
[06:39] <nickrud> guestadmin_ when you're upgrading from one release to another, you'll probably have strangeness until the install is complete and you've rebooted into the new kernel
[06:39] <chipbuddy> !menu
[06:40] <jose> danfuhry
[06:40] <jose> it says that I need the libc
[06:40] <Blaqlight> sorry Ben I miss whats going on in here,
[06:40] <jose> to compile the kernel something like that
[06:40] <jose> and it gave me the same error
[06:40] <chipbuddy> so you know those three menus that are (by default) at the upper left corner of the screen. Applications, Places and System. Is there anyway i can rename those menus, and give them different icons? or am i stuck with those names?
[06:40] <danfuhry> jose: you probably need kernel development files
[06:41] <nickrud> chipbuddy stuck with those names
[06:41] <jose> how can I get those?
[06:41] <jose> =/
[06:41] <danfuhry> apt-get install build-essential linux-headers
[06:41] <chipbuddy> boo!
[06:41] <Blaqlight> Ben: my comment above was a hint to ask first :P
[06:41] <danfuhry> jose: actually, the proper way to do it would be linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:42] <jose> ok
[06:42] <nando> Hello yawl.. one think you can help me get my CD drives to mount?
[06:42] <Ben> Thank you. I'll read some guide for IRC.
[06:43] <jose> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[06:43] <jose> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[06:43] <Blaqlight> I have a question about fluxbox actually. I want to change my cursor, it gives me an option to set it but I don't know how to use all of the cursors of a given theme (it only gives me the option to use a group versus 1)
[06:43] <jose> danfuhry
[06:43] <Blaqlight> jose: close all other package managers e.g. synaptic ...
[06:44] <danfuhry> jose: you forgot the "sudo" part >_>
[06:44] <jose> >.>
[06:44] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, it stopped, here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32892/
[06:44] <jose> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[06:44] <jose> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[06:44] <jose> sorry
[06:44] <timothywcrane> well purged mjpegtools, lost kmediafactory in the process, and all libraries assoc. hope I don't wind up in dependency hell for this....lol
[06:45] <revilodraw> when i press the power button i am presented with the options 'shutdown' 'restart' 'hibernate' etc. how do i make it so that when i click on 'hibernate' it runs 'sudo hibernate-ram'??
[06:45] <jose> it says now
[06:45] <jose> You should explicitly select one to install.
[06:45] <jose> E: Package linux-headers has no installation candidate
[06:46] <jose> my bad i forgot again the -$(uname -r)
[06:46] <nickrud> guestadmin_ run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again, and post the errors from that. They should be short enough that I can see all of them :)
[06:46] <Blaqlight> jose: type 'sudo  apt-get install build-essential linux-headers
[06:46] <jose> done
[06:46] <jose> they are installed
[06:46] <nickrud> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:46] <Blaqlight> geez, middle button paste causes an 'enter' after the paste so its never complete.
[06:46] <jose> brb let me go check if I can install the drivers now :)
[06:47] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:47] <timothywcrane> Can't find ppmtoy4m, please install it or check -M parameter - still - just want to string some jpegs into a vid.
[06:48] <revilodraw> not sure if im still here?
[06:48] <timothywcrane> you still are
[06:48] <revilodraw> lol thanks
[06:48] <nickrud> timothywcrane you're supposed to say, "no, you left"
[06:48] <timothywcrane> lol
[06:49] <timothywcrane> hey nick, coulc you tell me the repository you used for mjpegtools
[06:49] <timothywcrane> nothing I do helps
[06:49] <nickrud> timothywcrane my apt-cache policy mjegtools says  hardy/multiverse
[06:49] <guestadmin_> nickrud, here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32894/
[06:50] <timothywcrane> thanks standard - same as mine. what gives.
[06:50] <nickrud> guestadmin_ now try   sudo apt-get -f install
[06:51] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok will do, sudo apt-get -f install
[06:51] <sn9> now, sudo apt-get moo
[06:52] <nickrud> sn9 that hoary old joke?
[06:52] <sn9> why not?
[06:53] <jose__> danfuhry
[06:53] <revilodraw> when i press the power button i am presented with the options 'shutdown' 'restart' 'hibernate' etc. how do i make it so that when i click on 'hibernate' it runs 'sudo hibernate-ram'??
[06:53] <jose__> installation was completed but I have a problem now
[06:54] <jose__> I restarted and it showed me low resolution and the card was not being detected
[06:54] <sn9> revilodraw: you want "suspend" not "hibernate"
[06:54] <nickrud> sn9 aptitude moo && aptitude moo -v && aptitude moo -vv && aptitude moo -vvv && aptitude moo -vvvv && aptitude moo -vvvvv && aptitude moo -vvvvvv
[06:54] <sn9> nickrud: i prefer apt-get, thank you very much
[06:55] <revilodraw> sn9 - hmm i dont really mind, i just want one of those buttons to run the program 'sudo hibernate-ram'
[06:55] <sn9> is that a script you wrote yourself?
[06:55] <nickrud> sn9 some day I'll be a vegetarian, and apt-get moo is the first bit of beef I'm giving up
[06:55] <godmode117> hi, i need help, when i go to share a file it gives me an error
[06:55] <jose__> danfuhry =/
[06:55] <jshriver> greetings
[06:56] <jose__> im on 800x600 T_T
[06:56]  * Blaqlight quickly types all of that in... uhm is that a joke?
[06:56] <revilodraw> sn9- no i got it from the repositories, and it works beautifully
[06:56] <jshriver> why is vi broke in Ubuntu? when I'm in insert mode it doesnt let me use arrow keys
[06:56] <Flannel> jshriver: install "vim"
[06:56] <nickrud> guestadmin_ is it downloading gnunet and openoffice stuff?
[06:56] <sn9> jshriver: sudo apt-get vim-gnome
[06:57] <Blaqlight> I can't get vim to work past the introduction screen.
[06:57] <sn9> jshriver: sudo apt-get install vim-gnome
[06:57] <Flannel> Blaqlight: do you have the full version?
[06:57] <nickrud> Blaqlight use vimtutor to get started
[06:57] <Blaqlight> Flannel: probably not, how do I tell?
[06:57] <godmode117> does anyone have any advice for me?
[06:57] <jshriver> a gui version?
[06:57] <jshriver> looking for plain CLI as most of my servers are headless and no X
[06:57] <Flannel> jshriver: vim-tiny (which isn't very vim-like) is installed by default, you'll need to install "vim" to get the full package (not vim-full, that installs full vim, plus gnome)
[06:57] <nickrud> godmode117 someday I'll learn to share files too ;)
[06:58] <jshriver> thanks checking
[06:58] <Flannel> Blaqlight: You'll need to install "vim" if you haven't.  The default version is fairly... useless for most people.
[06:58] <danfuhry> jose__: i gotta hit the sack. just try making sure your kernel headers are installed, then stop gdm and open that nvidia file with sh like i said before. sorry to leave ya hanging, but it's like 2AM here.
[06:58] <guestadmin_> nickrud, yep, just stopped right now, heres the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32895/ Also noticed darker background, and the top right corner has the restart required message and also a light bulb for information about updates?.?.?.
[06:58] <chalcedony> jshriver: visit #vim
[06:58]  * De[X]tone back
[06:58] <Blaqlight> hmm prolly not considering its saying that vim-runtime is missing
[06:58] <jshriver> that was it :) thanks, didnt realise there was different versions of vim lol
[06:58]  * chalcedony smiles
[06:58] <jose__> its ok
[06:58] <jose__> np
[06:58] <jose__> thanks for the help
[06:58] <nickrud> guestadmin_ all good. run the dist-upgrade one more time for luck, and reboot.
[07:00] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok here goes, fingers crossed, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:00] <godmode117> im not having a big problem i just need to know how to "sudo sharefile filename" or something like that
[07:00] <Blaqlight> Flannel: I have, it runs, but it is uhm.. quite useless. to me, Id love to use it because it comes highly recommended.
[07:00] <sn9> godmode117: sharing with windows?
[07:00] <godmode117> no
[07:00] <godmode117> xbmc
[07:00] <Flannel> Blaqlight: ah, you don't know how to use vim? alright, run "vimtutor" and it'll get you up to speed.
[07:00] <timothywcrane> there isnt even a mention of ppmtoy4m in synaptic search on Hardy. This is nuts.
[07:01] <Blaqlight> gotta wait for an hour... 56k connection :(
[07:01] <revilodraw> does anyone know how to change the commands of the 'hibernate' button?
[07:01] <nickrud> timothywcrane I think synaptic only searches package titles by default, you have to tell it to search descriptions
[07:01] <Flannel> timothywcrane: its in the package "mjpegtools"
[07:01] <Flannel> timothywcrane: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=ppmtoy4m&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any
[07:01] <timothywcrane> i have added a few friends repos and did another upgrade, byt mgpegtools was not in the list.
[07:01] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, you mean the media center?
[07:01] <timothywcrane> just a mispelling on the chat sorry
[07:01] <Flannel> timothywcrane: mjpegtools is in hardy, un multiverse.
[07:02] <sn9> revilodraw: i believe it's part of the hal-info pkg
[07:02] <Flannel> timothywcrane: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mjpegtools
[07:02] <timothywcrane> I have it installed
[07:02] <nickrud> Flannel you should check your scrollback, timothywcrane has a seemingly weird situation with that executable
[07:02] <timothywcrane> but I still get the error to install ppmtoy4m
[07:03] <Flannel> timothywcrane: sudo apt-get remove --purge mjpegtools
[07:03] <moreau> sorry if this is the wrong channel, but all the smart people are here..  Q: what are the meanings of 'private' and 'public' ports, when forwarding ports in my router
[07:03] <Flannel> timothywcrane: oh, you've been here already.
[07:03] <godmode117> yes ,<itai-michaelson>
[07:03] <revilodraw> sn9; is that a file i can edit?
[07:03] <timothywcrane> hey at least my friends repos are giving me some Alien Arena mods I didn't have. lol
[07:04] <Flannel> timothywcrane: Well, it's definately in there.  Are you sure you purged it?
[07:04] <sn9> moreau: private == local, public == remote
[07:04] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, are you following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=458675 ?
[07:04] <svh> how do i get alien on a shell
[07:04] <Flannel> timothywcrane: Try purging, then cleaning your cache (sudo apt-get clean) then reinstall (to force the download again)
[07:04] <timothywcrane> you can get it, but not play it.
[07:04] <hexpuem> i have a laptop with a broadcom wireless nic built in. the problem is the nic boots in an "off" state and i need to manually turn it on and redo the iwconfig. for some reason it used to boot in "ON" mode. any ideas?
[07:04] <godmode117> no, i have xbmc installed on my xbox
[07:04] <sn9> revilodraw: you can list the files in a pkg with dpkg -L pkgname
[07:04] <ranjeeta> facing problem in the following rewrite rule, RewriteRule ^/example.php?msg=(.*)&number=(.*)&key=(.*)$
[07:05] <godmode117> and im trying to share files with that
[07:05] <timothywcrane> I did
[07:05] <ManualOverDozer8> hexpuem you do ifup and ifdown to no avail ?
[07:05] <sn9> hexpuem: some laptops have an "rfkill" switch managed through acpi
[07:05] <moreau> so settin the priv port as '5002' and the public as '845' means they can only connect to me if their outoing signal comes from port 845 and lands at my 5002 port?
[07:05] <godmode117> but when i go to "properties>share>share this folder" i get an error
[07:06] <hexpuem> od: the interface is up even though its off for whatever reason
[07:06] <godmode117> it says i dont have permission
[07:06] <itai-michaelson> you want to share files between xbox and ubuntu?
[07:06] <timothywcrane> I will remove clean update upgrade install then check again. Current upgrade willtake a minute, thanks for the convo
[07:06] <godmode117> yes, ive done it before on windoze
[07:06] <ranjeeta> facing problem in the following rewrite rule, RewriteRule ^/example.php?msg=(.*)&number=(.*)&key=(.*)$   /index.php?module=photos&action=$1&id=$2&do=$3 [L,NC]
[07:06] <ranjeeta> it works but as soon it gets question mark it breaks.
[07:06] <ranjeeta> can anyone tell me wats wrong in this rule
[07:06] <ManualOverDozer8> hexpuem  rf is the radio on/off
[07:06] <sn9> moreau: they connect to what they think is your port 845, but is really 5002
[07:06] <ManualOverDozer8> hexpuem  o ppwersaving feature on laptops shuts it off
[07:06] <Flannel> ranjeeta: try #apache
[07:07] <svh> how do i get alien on a shell so i can convert rpm into deb files
[07:07] <itai-michaelson> which folder you want to share? is it in your home directory?
[07:07] <hexpuem> hmm
[07:07] <hexpuem> actually i think the problem started when i disabled the power saving stuff for my video card
[07:07] <godmode117> no its on another hardrive
[07:07] <glitsj16> ranjeeta: have you tried quoting the question mark ? like \?
[07:07] <sn9> svh: alien is usually trouble; avoid it if possible
[07:07] <hexpuem> fglrx would lock up in logout because of its power saving daemon
[07:07] <hexpuem> so i killed it
[07:07] <moreau> ah, the public #is just a mask that displays the port as 845, but is really 5002
[07:08] <revilodraw> sn9; i think i have found the file. /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate
[07:08] <sn9> revilodraw: ok
[07:08] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, right click on it and look under properties>permisions
[07:08] <godmode117> owner: root
[07:08] <godmode117> group:root
[07:09] <timothywcrane> I am so sorry, I stated about the game, and you the repackaging tool. I agree, stay away, you WILL have more problems with RPM to deb conversion than it is worth, compile instead
[07:09] <ManualOverDozer8> hexpuem  try this in root terminal > iwconfig txpower on
[07:09] <revilodraw> sn9: well i dont know how much you know on the subject, but can i simply change the content of that file to 'sudo hibernate-ram'??
[07:09] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, on which partition is this file?
[07:09] <godmode117> an ntfs harddrive
[07:09] <hexpuem> od: the nic is on now (after pushing the physical button that turns it on) the problem is it boots in an off state and the auto network config fails
[07:09] <sn9> revilodraw: read the file, and you will see what you can change
[07:10] <hexpuem> would adding the iwconfig txpower on to a pre-up script fix it?
[07:10] <ManualOverDozer8> hexpuem  you can configure it to be on
[07:10] <hexpuem> ok thanks
[07:10] <ManualOverDozer8> ok
[07:11] <ManualOverDozer8> hexpuem  but you still may have issues is acpi is still trying to control it
[07:11] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, you need to set the permission for that drive again, maybe they are set to read-only or something , you need to have them mounted as belonging to your user
[07:11] <godmode117> ok
[07:12] <godmode117> thanks for the info
[07:12] <godmode117> do i need to unmount it then mount again?
[07:12] <revilodraw> sn9; here goes :-$
[07:12] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, i cant remeber how to do that now cause i never worked with NTFS but i bet you can google some guide or ask here
[07:12] <moreau> If i was to install ubuntu on a 10gb partition, what file system(s) can i format the rest of the space to, so that I can put large programs/games,music,and movies onto it, and run them thru ubuntu
[07:12] <revilodraw> sn9; we are linux gods
[07:13] <sn9> moreau: up to you
[07:13] <itai-michaelson> moreau, yes
[07:13] <ManualOverDozer8> hexpuem iwconfig INTERFACE txpower on  substitue INTERFACE with yours (eth0,wlan0,ath0)
[07:13] <moreau> i can just just bout any filessystem>

[07:13] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir that is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is<PHONE_NUMBER>00"  wtf? :/
[07:13] <sn9> moreau: well, you probably won't want fat32
[07:13] <moreau> haha, never
[07:13] <moreau> as thinking ntfs
[07:13] <sn9> you could
[07:14] <itai-michaelson> moreau, why not ext3?
[07:14] <hexpuem> od: which script do i put it in to run before the network config at boot?
[07:14] <untraceable> i found wat i need on a site but i cant understand it can anyone help
[07:15] <itai-michaelson> untraceable, maybe, what do u need to do?

[07:20] <acrousey> Hi all!  I am planning on turning an old computer (Compaq Presario 2157SR, was running windowsME) into a server using Ubuntu server. However, I found out that larger HDD's may not work as internal hard drives. How well would an external hard drive work with the "server"?
[07:20] <revilodraw> when my laptop wakes up from hibernate, my wireless connection is lost until i go into 'network' and click on wireless, then click on it again, sort of 'touching' the wlan0 interface, is there anyway to make my hibernate wake-up script 'touch' the wlan0 interface automatically??
[07:20] <itai-michaelson> timothywcrane, i use a different intonation so its okay....
[07:20] <itai-michaelson> :-)
[07:20] <untraceable> i just need some one to kinda translate into lamens terms for me

[07:21] <timothywcrane> lol
[07:21] <untraceable> which modem will i use for that from the ubuntu list
[07:21] <sn9> acrousey: larger hard disks are only a problem under windows; linux will see the whole thing anyway

[07:22] <acrousey> sn9: really? I heard that it may not function because it may not be compatible with the motherboard
[07:22] <xavieran> Hello
[07:22] <discombobulated> anyone can help?
[07:22] <LSD|Ninja> acrousey: Linux can bypass the BIOS and get around that
[07:23] <Flannel> discombobulated: You accidentally what?
[07:23] <sn9> pist0l-fish: 9000 does not need the proprietary drivers
[07:23] <pist0l-fish> sn9: what should I do?
[07:23] <discombobulated> yes, was camming and accidentally a whooole pc. is fix?
[07:23] <sn9> pist0l-fish: and "cannot connect" is because you used "su" or "sudo -i"
[07:23] <Ithilin> I kind of figured it out on my own, without doing that lol. :P As soon as I joined someone said "link" so I was like wow I can just create a sym link.

[07:23] <Ithilin> So It works perfect now
[07:24] <acrousey> sn9, LSDninja: besides the HDD is SATA and the connector is IDE
[07:24] <pist0l-fish> sn9: i tried sudo without -i
[07:24] <sn9> pist0l-fish: it should "just work" out-of-the-box

[07:25] <xavieran>  I'll try that...thanks...though I wonder why they'd remove it from the removable drives and media app?
[07:25] <debCarlos> How can i find who was nicknamed superfirelord42 two weeks ago?
[07:25] <discombobulated> italian

[07:26] <ManualOverDozer8> !it > discombobulated
[07:26] <acrousey> i already ordered the hard drive though... could i just get an adapter?
[07:26] <xavieran> debCarlos: Check the logs from 2 weeks ago?
[07:27] <debCarlos> xavieran: Where?
[07:27] <xavieran> Wait a sec...
[07:27] <kushalsejwal> Flannel, its working :)
[07:27] <Bogus8> acrousey: you will need a PCI type of card to connect that HD

[07:27] <linxUz3r> wasshup

[07:27] <azhar27> Hi I need help with the repositories
[07:27] <acrousey> PCI type of card?
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> azhar27, what do you need?
[07:28] <xavieran> debCarlos: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[07:28] <azhar27> I accidently deleted them
[07:28] <azhar27> i mean removed them
[07:28] <azhar27> now apt-get install does not work
[07:28] <Flannel> azhar27: Go to Software Sources, and you can regenerate them
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> you run hardy?
[07:28] <azhar27> yup 8.04
[07:28] <xavieran> Yes
[07:28] <azhar27> I tried that too
[07:29] <debCarlos> xavieran: thanks, i'll check
[07:29] <Bogus8> acrousey: an addon card... pci pci-x
[07:29] <kushalsejwal> !help
[07:29] <azhar27> third party sources are blank
[07:29] <Bogus8> acrousey: there isn't just some "gender changer" to put on the end of the cable
[07:29] <Flannel> azhar27: Right.  If you had any, you'll have to re-add them
[07:29] <Blaqlight> if I got an answer to my question about x and xcursor I didn't get it.
[07:29] <sn9> Bogus8: yes there is; it's $30
[07:30] <acrousey> bogus8: actually, i think i saw a "gender adapter"
[07:30] <linxUz3r> lovely
[07:30] <acrousey> would that work?
[07:30] <azhar27> Flannel : Sorry, i don't get it
[07:30] <Bogus8> sn9: and you are better off with an addon card for the same price ;)
[07:30] <itai-michaelson> azhar27, i think this is the default lits: http://de.pastebin.ca/868272
[07:30] <sn9> Bogus8: add-on cards cost $10
[07:30] <oudidiou> Salut à tous !
[07:30] <Bogus8> sn9: it's not as simple as a "regular" gender changer
[07:30] <azhar27> Itai : do u want me to add it as a repository
[07:30] <acrousey> so, an add on card would actually be cheaper?
[07:30] <Flannel> azhar27: third party software is where you add stuff, nothing is there by default.  If you've deleted third party software stuff, you'll have to remember what you add, and readd them.
[07:31] <Bogus8> sn9: where are you buying your gear at?
[07:31] <dglkn> I'm having some issues with slow file transfers with NFS and Samba on a wireless LAN
[07:31] <debCarlos> xavieran: ok, i checked it, but, how can i find superfirelord42 now?
[07:31] <acrousey> bogus8: you can find it at newegg
[07:31] <itai-michaelson> azhar27, you put that list in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:31] <sn9> Bogus8: anywhere -- check google product search

[07:31] <administrator_> help
[07:31] <Bogus8> sn9: I guess you meant before shipping
[07:31] <azhar27> @flannel : sorry for being noob, how do i re add them by cd rom or adding it from a mirror
[07:32] <sn9> Bogus8: newegg shipping is $$
[07:32] <Flannel> azhar27: What are you trying to add? (it depends on what you're adding)
[07:32] <kindofabuzz> azhar27, sudo apt-cdrom add
[07:32] <Bogus8> sn9: it cost something.. usually 5-6 bucks for cheap items
[07:32] <xavieran> http://www.bash.org/?482970
[07:32] <sn9> otherwise, fry's or such
[07:32] <FuriousGeorge> i have 4 identical computers that need to be set up almost identically except for hostname, etc.  i was thinking of using dd, but wont that hose udev rules, like the ones that associate my eth0 with my nic's mac?
[07:32] <xavieran> Rolls 2 6-sided dice: 1 6
[07:32] <linxUz3r> this is bad
[07:32] <FuriousGeorge> my goal is to ghost it
[07:32] <Flannel> xavieran: Please take that elsewhere.

[07:33] <mark__> great
[07:33] <dglkn> ok, all of my wireless devices are at 36Mb with a strong signal (80%). Both NFS and Samba transfer files at about 7Mb
[07:34] <acrousey> bogus8, sn9: what would be better in my situation, an add-on card or  an adapter?
[07:34] <mark__> i cant access my cdrom drive
[07:34] <mark__> i am very new to ubuntu
[07:34] <sn9> acrousey: card

[07:34] <WIGGMPk> I have a few problems and am in need of help. I am running Hardy Heron Server amd64 and have a VIA PCI Sata Controller Card installed in the machine.. The primary device on the sata controller is a 500GB HD (used to be an external HD but i ripped the shell off). The second device on the stat controller is a Samsung DVD Drive.. (aka Kreon Drive). The HD Drive is readable/writable and works fine. The DVD Drive does not seem to b
[07:34] <sn9> kindofabuzz: what kind of card?
[07:35] <kindofabuzz> sn9, broadcom, everything was fine until i installed wicd and tried to use wpa
[07:35] <mark__> ok, i`ll try that link flannel...
[07:35] <vox> WIGGMPk: your question was cut off. what did you say after "the DVD drive does not seem to..."
[07:35] <Flannel> mark__: That link wasn't for you.
[07:35] <debCarlos> How can i find some nick in all the server?
[07:35] <sn9> kindofabuzz: wicd is to be avoided except for acx cards
[07:35] <mark__> oh..
[07:35] <dglkn> kindofabuzz: have you tried pinging your wireless access point?
[07:35] <ManualOverDozer8> kindofabuzz isnt BCMxx in the blcaklist ?Broadcom chipset
[07:35] <oudidiou> Hi there !
[07:35] <WIGGMPk> vox: the dvd drive does not seem to be available to the system
[07:36] <kindofabuzz> dglkn, yeah, no go, but i'm connected to it and have an ip
[07:36] <vox> WIGGMPk: how does it not appear to be available?
[07:36] <debCarlos> I mean, is there a command to search in the server for a nick?
[07:36] <oudidiou> I've got a error when I try to launch pythons programs : http://pastebin.com/m517b2273
[07:36] <WIGGMPk> vox: i cant think of the command off the top of my head but.. it lists like every device.. and its not listed
[07:36] <FuriousGeorge> sn9: rsync will also duplicate udev rules that could break networking, among other things i may have not considered yet
[07:36] <lstarnes> debCarlos: /who *nick*
[07:36] <azhar27> Flannel : when i try to add this -deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
[07:36] <kindofabuzz> how can i just reinstall NM with no internet?  i tried adding the cdrom
[07:37] <debCarlos> lstarnes: ok
[07:37] <sn9> FuriousGeorge: just try it first
[07:37] <vox> WIGGMPk: cd/dvd-roms will only show up when there's something in them. put a dvd movie in, and then type "mount" and you'll see it
[07:37] <ManualOverDozer8> kindofabuzz in SPM Network-Manager, but i believe you may have to remove Wicd first
[07:37] <Flannel> azhar27: to third party?
[07:37] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: installing a cursor theme ? i personally never mess with xcursor, drop the new theme /usr/share/icons and to get X11 support, i change /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme to point to the new theme (Inherits=<theme dir name>)
[07:37] <gb__> i'm back :)
[07:37] <azhar27> yup
[07:37] <Flannel> azhar27: that's not a third party repo, you can add that by checking the checkboxes
[07:38] <kindofabuzz> ManualOverDozer8, yeah i know to remove it, what are you talking about SPM NM?
[07:38] <azhar27> Flannel : there are no checkboxes, i accidently removed the,.
[07:38] <Flannel> mark__: Is your CD drive internal? was it connected hen you installed?
[07:38] <gb__> hey Flannel
[07:38] <gb__> hey bderrly
[07:38] <mark__> the dvd drive works for dvds, but i have 8gb of data i want to access, word files etc, that works on my XP laptop but not in ubuntu.
[07:38] <Flannel> azhar27: On the first tab, there's the official software.
[07:38] <sn9> kindofabuzz: if you uninstalled it, sudo apt-get --install-recommends install ubuntu-desktop
[07:38] <debCarlos> Ok, i didn't find the nickname, anyone here used that nickname?
[07:38] <mark__> internal
[07:38] <FuriousGeorge> sn9: i have and thats been a problem, which makes me wonder what else is a problem, which makes me wonder if i should do it in a production enviornment
[07:38] <Flannel> mark__: so, the dual layer doesn't seem to work?
[07:38] <WIGGMPk> vox: how would it show up?
[07:38] <ManualOverDozer8> kindofabuzz Synaptic Package Manager has Newtwrok-Manager in it
[07:38] <kindofabuzz> sn9, huh? that will install NM without internet?
[07:39] <hexpuem> looks like "iwconfig wlan0 txpower on" doesnt work for my NIC
[07:39] <vox> WIGGMPk: something like "/dev/sdc0 /media/somethingsomething"
[07:39] <mark__> dont think so as disney cars works
[07:39] <sn9> kindofabuzz: no, with
[07:39] <hexpuem> i tried setting it to auto and fixed etc
[07:39] <kindofabuzz> no internet for the 3rd time =)
[07:39] <ManualOverDozer8> oh yes
[07:39] <azhar27> Flannel : i have checked all the checkboxes on the first tab
[07:39] <WIGGMPk> vox: not there
[07:39] <ManualOverDozer8> kinfofbuzz if you didnt remove the packages complete, then they should be still there
[07:39] <sn9> kindofabuzz: use wired ethernet until wifi works again
[07:39] <azhar27> restriced, multiverse , main and universe
[07:39] <Flannel> azhar27: then you have deb-src for universe, or should.
[07:39] <hexpuem> dmesg -> The hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically off. Press the button to turn it on.
[07:39] <kindofabuzz> sn9, not an option
[07:40] <azhar27> Flannlel I think i have it
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> ManualOverDozer8, hmm when i apt-get i just get the errors from not finding the repos
[07:40] <Spike^ekipS> #django-sprint
[07:40] <vox> WIGGMPk: hmm
[07:40] <azhar27> But sudo apt-get install amarok does not work
[07:40] <azhar27> i just tried this
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> there's got to be some way to just say hey, pull of the cd
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> off*
[07:40] <ManualOverDozer8> kindofbuzz then you may have to hool it up LAN like sn9 suggested
[07:40] <azhar27> it says package amarok has no installation candicate
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> so no option to just apt-get off the cd?
[07:41] <debCarlos> I need to find who's now superfirelord42... anyone here knows how to do it?
[07:41] <ManualOverDozer8> modprobe ath_pci rfkill=0 ???
[07:41] <sn9> kindofabuzz: for the alternate cd, yes; for the desktop cd, not really
[07:41] <Flannel> azhar27: That wouldn't be source debs, that'd be binaries.  Alright, close out of that menu, and pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:41] <esac> i am using OOO and while editing a document, it is randomly hanging for a second or 2. anybody seen this and know how to fix it ?
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> sn9, ok i have an alternate, apt-cdrom add the alternate?
[07:41] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9 : i am not sure how that works, i have LiveCD and it has it on that , so i cant really say for his issue
[07:41] <sn9> kindofabuzz: that would work, yes
[07:41] <WIGGMPk> vox: i really need that DVD drive to work.. lol
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> ok lemme go try all that
[07:41] <Blaqlight> glitsj16: omg Im sorry I wasn't around thanks to highlight I got your messege :D
[07:42] <WIGGMPk> vox: the problem with my situation is that i dont have the alternative to use onboard sata.... =(
[07:42] <kindofabuzz> but really, why is wicd causing me to connect but can't ping or surf? gotta be something simple
[07:42] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9 : is that the checkbox in choosing repositories, where you can select CD-ROM ?
[07:42] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: very handy indeed, i forgot to add .. and restart X after doing all that .. but i guess you figured that out by yourself :p
[07:42] <sn9> ManualOverDozer8: just put it in
[07:43] <azhar27> Flannel : I don't get it
[07:43] <Flannel> debCarlos: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:43] <Blaqlight> glitsj16: uh yeah I got that :P
[07:43] <Flannel> azhar27: What don't you get?
[07:43] <ManualOverDozer8> sn8 : ok, just curious, thank you
