[21:37] <vaadoo> i also have a ubuntu partition on the laptop, but when i am in ubuntu, i don't see any shares
[21:38] <matthew> vaadoo I wiped out my vista lol
[21:38] <WDC> Hey hey. I just reinstalled Ubuntu and had a full backup of my /home foler. How can I sert permissions so that I can use the files on this new install?
[21:38] <matthew> hawk right click and make the file read and writable to you
[21:38] <Pr0xity> how can i see the users on a channel?
[21:38] <vaadoo> my vista works perfectly with ubuntu
[21:38] <vaadoo> but not ubuntu to ubunto
[21:38] <WDC> vaadoo: So does mine
[21:38] <matthew> mine does to gone
[21:38] <chilli0> hey all how do i make a python script run on shut down?.
[21:38] <erUSUL> WDC: just change the files' owneraand group to your user
[21:38] <zsquareplusc> `r0ot: yes, i saw your pasteed message, i dont knwo how to fix that. but as you say an other use is fine, it indicates that its a users settings problem. so removing the settings files should help
[21:38] <WDC> erUSUL: Not that easy. chmod won't work
[21:38] <WDC> erUSUL: and hey
[21:39] <erUSUL> WDC: chown
[21:39] <chilli0> does anyone know how to make a script work on shut down?
[21:39] <WDC> erUSUL: orly
[21:39] <erUSUL> WDC: sudo chouwn -R $USER:$USER
[21:39] <_Zeus_> erUSUL: in hindsight, you should have tared it, but too late now.  You will need to set +x permissions on directories, for one
[21:39] <Slart> chilli0: since you've already googled for this and searched the forums you've already seen this thread.. but just in case.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436346
[21:39] <vaadoo> do i have enable nfs manually?
[21:39] <`r0ot> zsquareplusc: all of them or .conf and ,gnome only ?
[21:39] <erUSUL> _Zeus_: talk to WDC
[21:40] <_Zeus_> WDC: when i did that, all the folders were unreadable due to not having +x
[21:40] <zsquareplusc> chilli0: you can install scripts in /etc/init.d and the rc?.d folders (using update-rc.d) that are run on start or stop
[21:40] <zsquareplusc> `r0ot: i dont know. maybe all the .gnome folders
[21:40] <vegombrei> how do i sync my bluetooth headset with ubuntu ?? it shows up as a device but when i connect to it it says host shut down
[21:40] <victamower> hi, every time I install updates of some kind my keyboard breaks - I can t type apostrophes, they come up like diacritics (lines over the letters)
[21:40] <victamower> how do I permanently fix this?
[21:40] <hawkSMR> matthew: in Permissions, says owner=root, so I can't change them - but all permissions are already set to read/write anyway
[21:41] <WDC> _Zeus_: I want david to own /home/david what's the command
[21:41] <WDC> I can't figure it out
[21:41] <mindrape> LOL Slart
[21:41] <chilli0> so if i want to make them run when i shut down how would i do that? may i see an example?
[21:41] <mindframe-> should compiz work with intel 945GM chipsets?
[21:41] <_Zeus_> WDC: sudo chown -R david:david /home/david
[21:41] <n8tuser> chilli0-> put it in /etc/rc6.d
[21:41] <mneptok> victamower: use the US keyboard layout, not US International
[21:41] <Neuling> hi guys i have installed Windows on my first hard disk and ubuntu on my external Drive but i cannot boot from my external Drive seems Bios cannot do this how can i chane that?
[21:41] <zeta-> Hi, just upgraded to 8.10 -- But my system has started randomly locking-up solid and blinking capslock & scrolllock
[21:41] <zeta-> Is this known issue?  Is it to do with disabled restricted packages?
[21:41] <victamower> mnep: I m using USA
[21:41] <kyle> LF help with grphics drivers and xserve (i think)
[21:41] <matthew> hawk do sudo nautilus then in root go to the file and change it to you
[21:41] <erUSUL> WDC: i already told you sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/david
[21:41] <hawkSMR> thanks matthew
[21:41] <axion> brb
[21:41] <WDC> erUSUL: I know. I just didn't connect the dots with the $user. My bad
[21:41] <matthew> np
[21:41] <mindrape> Neuling - you should probably get a motherboard that can support it.  Or write your own BIOS update and flash it.
[21:41] <chilli0> n8tuser:  so if i put my python script in there it will run it on shutdown?
[21:42] <osiris> does anyone know anything about the load_cycle_count issue? i dont want to hdparm -255 my drive as the temperature get's too high
[21:42] <WDC> _Zeus_: chown: cannot access `/home/david/.gvfs': Permission denied
[21:42] <victamower> mnep: how do I reconfigure X so it doesn revert to international each time?
[21:42] <n8tuser> chilli0-> test it and see..read some of the scripts there, those that start with K
[21:42] <_Zeus_> WDC: ignore that, you can never touch that
[21:42] <chilli0> why k?
[21:42] <Neuling> mindrape: oh ok but i think i am not able tp write a BIOS update
[21:42] <WDC> _Zeus_: But, nothing else works either
[21:43] <`r0ot> ok now how i can delete user from command line ?
[21:43] <mindrape> chilli0: we don't hold hands here.  If you would like somebody to hold your hand get a significant other.  If you want people to point you in the right direction you're in the right place and plenty of fingers have pointed for you already.
[21:43] <_Zeus_> WDC: all the . folders do hat?
[21:43] <kyle> i have a feeling i'm in over my head lol
[21:43] <WDC> _Zeus_: Lock file '/home/david/.TrueCrypt-lock-david' has incorrect permissions.
[21:43] <chilli0> mindrape:  i have been told about 3 things and i dont get what they mean
[21:43] <_Zeus_> WDC: is the folder encrypted?
[21:43] <rhalff> hm, my interfaces file contains, auto lo, iface lo inet loopback. nothing more, where is eth0 defined ?
[21:43] <WDC> _Zeus_: No
[21:43] <kyle> can anyone point the direction to drivers for an intel x3100?
[21:43] <WDC> _Zeus_: It's from an old install though
[21:44] <rblst> my the default printer in OpenOffice is not the same as what is set in CUPS in 8.04, why?
[21:44] <kyle> <looks for fingures>
[21:44] <matthew> look in synaptic kyle
[21:44] <n8tuser> rblst-> change it, so it will be the same
[21:44] <erUSUL> rhalff: ubuntu uses networ manager by default but you can add the interfaces to the file if you want to
[21:44] <Flannel> kyle: They're almost certainly installed by default
[21:44] <victamower> mneptok: how do I permanently set my keyboard type to US?  It keeps reverting to US International
[21:44] <spolvid> axion: Thar didn't work.
[21:44] <kyle> is it a whisper when it's red?
[21:44] <erUSUL> rhalff: System>Preferences>Network Settings in 8.10
[21:45] <yo> nixternal: what up, dookie?
[21:45] <erUSUL> victamower: System>Preferences>Keuboard?
[21:45] <rblst> n8tuser: change it where? if i change it in CUPS, it doesn't affect the setting in OO.o
[21:45] <rhalff> erUSUL,  the network manager is mostly graphical and not meant for a server I guess ? or can I also expect the server edition to define it's interfaces elsewhere
[21:45] <noaxi> hmm spolvid
[21:45] <`r0ot> zsquareplusc: it's the same :(
[21:45] <victamower> erUSUL: I ve tried that in the past, it doesn t stick when some kind of updates are applied
[21:45] <mindrape> chilli0: well do you know what run levels are?  If not go google that.  You seem to be asking questions about things you dont understand.  If you aren't sure how shutdown processes work research that first instead of jumping to "I want to run scripts when my computer shuts down".  Instead ask "How does a shutdown process work?"
[21:45] <spolvid> noaxi: What do you think?
[21:45] <kaduk> how to mount new partition in ubuntu as home direcotry?
[21:45] <erUSUL> rhalff: no for a server the interfaces file is the way to go afaics
[21:45] <kaduk> looks like fstab is unstandard
[21:46] <victamower> erSUL: the GNOME setting is fine, it s the setting in xorg.conf that gets overwritten
[21:46] <Slart> kaduk: unstandard? because it uses uuids ?
[21:46] <mkdigital>  hi! can someone tell me how to change the screen resolution in xubuntu? i got an acer aspire one and only 800x600, should be 1024x600
[21:46] <erUSUL> victamower: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#X.Org%20Input%20Devices
[21:46] <zsquareplusc> `r0ot: there are a lot more folders with settings. move the others too.
[21:46] <chilli0> mindrape:  i just want some1 to show me how to make my script on shut down
[21:46] <rhalff> erUSUL, ok good :)
[21:46] <n8tuser> rblst-> in OpenOffice
[21:47] <Inf_lappy> I'm having this bizarre bug in X. i'm using a trackpad and sometimes it starts to act as if i'm constantly moving the pointer down- or upwards. right now it's basically a game of whack-a-mole if i want to click on things
[21:47] <`r0ot> zsquareplusc: plese names :$
[21:47] <dirtbag> Is the ext3 filesystem the best one to use with ubuntu?
[21:47] <`r0ot> please*
[21:47] <erUSUL> dirtbag: short answer: yes
[21:47] <kyle> !whisper dirtbag whisper test
[21:47] <Flannel> kyle: No, its just addressed to you.
[21:47] <n8tuser> chilli0-> to learn scripting, please do a tutorial on bash scripting
[21:47] <noaxi> spolvid: when runnign the grub command it gave you a list of kernels it found ?
[21:47] <Neuling> mindrape: but a dual Boot is however possible or not?
[21:47] <Flannel> !prefix | kyle
[21:47] <spolvid> noaxi: grub-install?
[21:47] <victamower> I ll see if dpkg-reconfigure console-setup worked
[21:48] <chilli0> n8tuser:  i know scripting , not bash thoe why cant some1 just tell me how to do it?
[21:48] <hawkSMR> matthew:  no dice, I run nautilus and go into permissions on the file, but everytime I choose smr as owner it just stays a second then changes itself back to root
[21:48] <spolvid> noaxi: I don't remember.
[21:48] <hawkSMR> also, I get the same error if I try to open it as root
[21:48] <noaxi> try it again
[21:48] <zsquareplusc> `r0ot: nope i dont start telling random names.. maybe mkdir ~/backup; mv -r .* ~/backup
[21:48] <kyle> !whisper flannel o interesting, as for what yous aid about the drivers. my friend is my go to guy about all this and he had to leave but he said they weren't already installed
[21:48] <dirtbag> Ok thanks.
[21:48] <xjrn> is there a x86 comompat amd64 package to run old static x86 bins  under X ?
[21:48] <spolvid> noaxi: What's the syntax again?
[21:48] <n8tuser> chilli0-> alright, do this, visit /etc/rc6.d and pick one thats like K20dir*   look at how that script is done
[21:48] <mindrape> chilli0: and we are saying go research how runlevels work and the init scripts for each...  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436346  this link was pasted previously and has the EXACT answer you need.
[21:48] <rhalff> erUSUL,  I was about to add a bridge in the interfaces file, but if there is a qui option to do this I would like to use it, but I can't see such an option in the GUI
[21:48] <Flannel> kyle: No !whisper, just "Flannel, blah blah blah" and you can usually tab complete the nick.
[21:48] <`r0ot> ok i will try
[21:49] <kaduk> Slart, yes
[21:49] <Flannel> kyle: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[21:49] <noaxi> try grub-install -help or man grub-install and try to figure it out
[21:49] <kaduk> Slack, some strange numbers that are not for human
[21:49] <xjrn> is there a x86-compat amd64 package  even
[21:49] <erUSUL> xjrn: ia32-libs ?
[21:49] <kyle> flannel: 8.1
[21:49] <Neuling> mindrape: but a dual Boot is however possible or not?
[21:49] <kaduk> Slack, normaly fstab has its man page and is not saved in binary format so user can modifie it
[21:49] <vegombrei> how do i sync my bluetooth headset with ubuntu ?? it shows up as a device but when i connect to it it says host shut down
[21:49] <Slart> !uuid | kaduk
[21:50] <mindrape> Neuling - I dont believe so, no.
[21:50] <_cb> How could I do the following? 1.- Give end users the ability to save program and settings (not data) to a bootable CD with a single click. 	2.- Give end users the ability to restore program and settings (not data) from a bootable cd with a single click. Am assuming I can script taring appropriate folders. Not sure what to do about Grub or how to script the bootale cd.Any ideas?
[21:50] <Flannel> kyle: 8.10, alright.  Open up synaptic, and verify that you have xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed
[21:50] <Flannel> !synaptic | kyle
[21:51] <mindrape> _cb - let me do your college assignment for you... hold on while I generate a simple 3 line script that accomplishes all of that for you.
[21:51] <Flannel> _cb: Settings are data, there isn't really a distinction made between them.
[21:51] <King_Bob> Hi guys , ive got a raid drive set up as a mirror with ubuntu  installed on it which id like to format as a blank drive , how do i go about doing this as i cant make any head way with Partition editor
[21:51] <Neuling> mindrape: but why? means even if Bios doesnt recognize my external Drive this should work however on my hard disk or?
[21:51] <gavagai> I installed rar and unrar but still can't get extraction to work.  What do I need to do to unpack rar archives?
[21:51] <BULLE_> gavagai: unrar
[21:51] <_cb> Flanel I know data what I meant is not the /home folder. I would restore that from backup
[21:51] <mindrape> Neuling - well you can try booting off the primary drive and then using the bootloader there to get to it... but I don't think it's going to be successful still based on my magic 8 ball.
[21:51] <mindrape> gavagai - man unrar
[21:51] <BULLE_> gavagai: and dont use the free version, thats called unrar-free
[21:52] <kyle> Flannel, are you refering to syste>admin>software sources?
[21:52] <BULLE_> gavagai: or something along those lines, the free oversion doesnt work well at all
[21:52] <gavagai> mindrape, i want to use the GUI
[21:52] <Flannel> kyle: No, synaptic package manager.
[21:52] <zsquareplusc> gavagai: please provide error messages. i'm not good at telepathy
[21:52] <BULLE_> gavagai: does unrar evne come with a gui ?
[21:52] <Flannel> kyle: that page steps you through its usage, including invocation
[21:52] <mindrape> he is probably using xarchive or something and gave the link to unrar to it?
[21:52] <mindrape> maybe?
[21:52] <Koordin> hi, i want to delete all the files which are in my current folder and which are numbers : what is wrong with that ? "find . -iregex ^[0-9]+$ -maxdepth 0 | rm"
[21:53] <erUSUL> BULLE_: file-roller the archive manager of gnome will work with rar fiels iff you install rar/unrar
[21:53] <erUSUL> !rar
[21:53] <gavagai> BULLE_, i googled this and it said if you install unrar it would make the default file extracter work with rar
[21:53] <tallmtt> I am setting up a laptop for sale - I had to do post install configuration to get wireless working.  Is there a way to make it OEM (User sets up username/password on boot) now?
[21:53] <kyle> Flannel, ok let me check this out
[21:53] <_cb> What I want to do is give non-technical users PC's with Ubuntu and provide them with a real easy way to recover program and settings. Would use a different mechanism for the home folder
[21:53] <Neuling> mindrape:could be true :( i tried it before and it didnt work i thought that i would have done something wrong
[21:53] <spolvid> noaxi: what would the kernels look like?
[21:53] <Flannel> tallmtt: Did you install the OEM version?
[21:54] <_cb> mindrape I wish I was in college ;)
[21:54] <tallmtt> Flannel: No, I did not
[21:54] <Neuling> mindrape:Are a lot of Windows programs working under Wine so i will use Wine instead
[21:54] <King_Bob> any ideas?
[21:54] <zsquareplusc> Koordin: you cant pipe (|) to rm. you need to use -exec
[21:54] <zleap> how do I rotate the images for the stickers at http://ubuntu.ec/su/drupal5/
[21:54] <zleap> i tried in gimp it rotated but cut what was the top and bottom off
[21:54] <zsquareplusc> Koordin: and i'd test with echo instead of rm..
[21:55] <giacomo_c1> my gnome session comes up with a black screen and my gconf-editor is blank, how can i fix these things since i upgraded to 8.10?
[21:55] <Koordin> zsquareplusc: ok thanks
[21:55] <Flannel> tallmtt: You'll want to do that.  I believe both CDs (alternate and desktop) give you the ability to set up an OEM system (but if the desktop one doesn't, I can verify that the alternate CD does).    At next boot, it prompts for username/password/etc.
[21:55] <cables_malo> anyone here good with firestarter/
[21:55] <Neuling> anyone knows a program with which i can rotate video clips?
[21:55] <gigatwo> Anyone willing to help me get my usb headset to work in pulse? It works fine with Sound recorder and nothing else.
[21:55] <cables_malo> i cant get any computer to get a DHCP addy
[21:55] <giacomo_c1> what do you want to know cable?
[21:55] <noaxi> update-grub should tell you what kernels iti si installing
[21:55] <zsquareplusc> Flannel: rhe desktop also has a note about OEM installs when you boot :-)
[21:56] <tallmtt> Flannel: There's no way I can run a script, or just type in the commands (maybe from a livecd) at this point?
[21:56] <cables_malo> i set up firestarter on my eth0 and it said it is working and nothing gets and address
[21:56] <gavagai> So if I have to use the CLI, that's fine, but how do I figure out the path to the windows share containing the rar archive?  I'm looking at it in nautilus right now and in propreties it says the location is smb://computername.  how do i get there in the terminal?
[21:56] <Slart> cables_malo: I think firestarter by default just drops all packages
[21:56] <zsquareplusc> gavagai: oh. those smb urls are probably not supported by unrar. copy the files first
[21:56] <erUSUL> gavagai: yopu do not have to use the cli to unrar a file
[21:56] <Koordin> zsquareplusc: and my regexp is correct ? i know this is the php syntax
[21:56] <cables_malo> is there some known issue with sharing internet with ubuntu 7.10?
[21:56] <WoodsDog> how does the 64 bit of ibex hold up? any significant reasons not to use 64 bit?
[21:56] <gavagai> zsquareplusc, thanks
[21:57] <cables_malo> drops all packages?
[21:57] <zsquareplusc> gavagai: or manually mount using samba. but copying is easier to explain ;-)
[21:57] <erUSUL> !inetsharing
[21:57] <Slart> cables_malo: you might have to configure firstarter.. or uninstall it totally (and reset the firewall rules)
[21:57] <mindframe-> should compiz work with intel 945GM chipsets?
[21:57] <giacomo_c1> DON'T UPGRADE TO 8.10
[21:57] <giacomo_c1> it sux
[21:57] <giacomo_c1> mlyp
[21:57] <FloodBot1> giacomo_c1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:57] <MethodOne> //quit
[21:57] <mindrape> giacomo_c1: too late.  I love it.
[21:57] <spolvid> noaxi: It says it couldn't find a GRUB directory.
[21:57] <grobda24> Why would I have port 443 open for https ?
[21:57] <erUSUL> giacomo_c1: the place for opinion is #ubuntu-offtopic not here
[21:57] <giacomo_c1> if i could only get gnome fixed, im sure i would love it too
[21:57] <Slart> giacomo_c1: sounds like software I'd pay good money for.. but alas.. it doesn't
[21:57] <mindrape> grobda24: because that is the port it uses?
[21:57] <zsquareplusc> Koordin: i'n not fluent in find regexp syntax. however it looked not bad
[21:57] <gigatwo> My headset only works in sound recorder (through pulse audio, I believe) How do I get it to work on everything else?
[21:57] <giacomo_c1> hahaha
[21:57] <giacomo_c1> 3 responses, that was funny
[21:58] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[21:58] <mindrape> successful troll is successful
[21:58] <mariza92> me ajudein nao consigo instalar o ubuntu
[21:58] <giacomo_c1> gigatwo: did you look anywhere on the ubuntuforums?
[21:58] <Slart> !it | mariza92
[21:58] <erUSUL> !pt | mariza92
[21:58] <kyle> is there a command to see the list of rules? i dont' want to break them
[21:58] <Slart> !coc
[21:58] <noaxi> spolvid: you should tell update-grub where you mounted your root directory.
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[21:59] <mariza92> eu so falo portugues
[21:59] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip: hi
[21:59] <Slart> kyle: just behave.. don't be rude, nasty or smell weird
[21:59] <noaxi> spolvid: it's time for to sign off.. got to work tomorrow..
[21:59] <gavagai> Ok i'm copying the archive over and will try to unrar it, thanks.  It never in a thousand years would have occured to me that unrar will puke if the archive is on a samba share...
[21:59] <cables_malo> is there a known issue? i have red the forums for hours on this one, i installed dhcp, and firestarter thinks it is working
[21:59] <Slart> !pt
[21:59] <gigatwo> I did, but I can't seem to find a thread more specific to my situation. The ones that I did find were somewhat helpful, and got me to the point that I'm at right now.
[21:59] <yo> ActionParsnip:  ninja, please!
[21:59] <osiris> does anyone know anything about the load_cycle_count issue? i dont want to hdparm -255 my drive as the temperature get's too high
[21:59] <kyle> slart ty lol
[21:59] <spolvid> noaxi ok
[21:59] <giacomo_c1> gigatwo: what kinda headset is it?
[21:59] <gigatwo> USB
[21:59] <giacomo_c1> ...
[21:59] <gigatwo> one sec
[21:59] <giacomo_c1> orly
[22:00] <RobertTables> Hi guys, this is probably a fairly straightforward question, Im accessing a samba share from WinXP to Hardy - at the moment I have to reference it by IP, How can I reference it by hostname?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> yo: sup?
[22:00] <erUSUL> mariza92: se so falas portugues e mellor que entres no canle #ubuntu-pt. Escribe "/j #ubuntu-pt" no teu cliente irc
[22:00] <Slart> osiris: haven't heard any new reports about it for quite a while.. might be fixed
[22:00] <mindrape> osiris - you mean this?  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+load_cycle_count+hdparm&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
[22:00] <giacomo_c1> gigatwo: when i set up my logitech, i had to use alsa drivers
[22:00] <yo> ActionParsnip: I can't call it.
[22:00] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip: hey can you help me sync my bluetooth headset with ubuntu , .. it shows up when i hciscan but when i try to connect it kinda crashes
[22:00] <galano> hello everybody
[22:00] <gavagai> hi, dr. nick
[22:00] <RobertTables> fyi, I have put my workgroup in the smb.conf, anything else required?
[22:00] <osiris> Slart: It definatley is not fixed
[22:00] <Slart> RobertTables: take a look at nmdb, or setup proper dns
[22:00] <gigatwo> oh, okay
[22:01] <osiris> mindrape: I have read nearly everything out there, and im not applying the ugly fix due to HD Temps
[22:01] <RobertTables> Slart, I thought it was possible to do through setting up samba?
[22:01] <gigatwo> I'll fool around some more with the settings

[22:02] <dirtbag> giacomo_c1: Is there a big difference betwen 8.04 and 8.10?
[22:02] <mindrape> if you'd like to know the differences between versions of Ubuntu go to the main site... they have a Whats New section in the release documentation.
[22:02] <zsquareplusc> Slart: do you mean nmbd?
[22:02] <Alanz_> Hello
[22:02] <Andreica> why firestarter consumes so much resources?
[22:03] <giacomo_c1> dirtbag: it depends on your system, my upgrade killed gnome
[22:03] <erUSUL> mariza92: Aplicacions>Internet>Pidgin pode conectarse o Msn tamen podes instalar o program amsn ou o emesene
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Andreica: you dont run it all the time, just to configure
[22:03] <Alanz_> Well Actually Firestarter doesn't takes much resources on mine
[22:03] <n8tuser> Andreica-> how did you figure that out?
[22:03] <erUSUL> Andreica: eye candy
[22:03] <Slart> zsquareplusc: nmdb/nmbd.. can't really remember what it's called
[22:03] <mariza92> maiis demora pra entrar pooor ai
[22:03] <gavagai> w00t.  yes rar DOES work with a gui.
[22:04] <zsquareplusc> Slart: :-)  (the d is for daemon and most of the times at the end of the name ;-)
[22:04] <lobosque> hello. how do i discover where a program was installed?
[22:04] <Slart> zsquareplusc: ah.. I was thinking db as in database..well
[22:04] <erUSUL> lobosque: dpkg -L package
[22:04] <zsquareplusc> lobosque: in synaptics select a package and choose properties-> files
[22:04] <PriceChild> lobosque: linux does things a little differently. Programs are stored in lots of different places. Documentation in one place, binaries in another etc. erUSUL's command will get you started though.
[22:05] <Slart> lobosque: usually they are installed a little all over the place.. some files here , some files there.. but do what erusul told you.. it will tell you where all the file went
[22:05] <PriceChild> Slart: echo?
[22:05] <giacomo_c1> dirtbag: are you rho?
[22:05] <Nibbler> hi
[22:05] <Slart> PriceChild: well.. it's easier than coming up with something of my own =)
[22:05] <mindrape> hi Nibbler
[22:05] <kyle> Flannel, ok so i'm trying to figure out why you sent me to synoptic and i'm coming up blank
[22:06] <Martiini> does anyone know .. why i cannot copy text exactly what it looks like in code box on ubuntuforums .. it doesnt copy spaces nor line breaks when i copy text from "code" box on ubuntuforums
[22:06] <mariza92> Nao da pra falar portugues nao ???
[22:06] <tCzern> hi, I am using 64 Studio which is Debian based but the Debian channel wouldn't want to help me, even with general questions. How about you?
[22:06] <dirtbag> I checked main page , but kinda confused. Why do they have 2 versions, LTS and 8.10? Is 8.10 more of a beta?
[22:06] <dirtbag> giacomo_c1: rho?
[22:06] <mindrape> mariza92: #ubuntu-pt
[22:06] <giacomo_c1> nvm
[22:07] <tCzern> trying to verify the install of a package with sudo, not sure how to do this
[22:07] <erUSUL> mariza92: non; pra falar portugues debes ir a outra sala. Escribe "/j #ubuntu-pt" no teu cliente irc (sen as comillas)
[22:07] <Slart> tCzern: bring cookies and you can ask whatever you want
[22:07] <tCzern> k, cookies for everyone

[22:07] <splig> hi there
[22:07] <magentar> is there a way to manage different "power profiles" in intrepid? like "save battery" or "full performance"?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> tCzern: dpkg -l | less
[22:07] <Slart> tCzern: I think I've heard of an app that does that.. or you could just reinstall the package
[22:07] <splig> somebody with realtek 8187 and aircrack?
[22:08] <carpeliam> i'm confused - both vi and vim seem to be symbolic links that eventually point to /usr/bin/vim.tiny, but they're not the same program - how does that work?
[22:08] <WDC> When trying to start Trucrypt, I get this:
[22:08] <WDC> Lock file '/home/david/.TrueCrypt-lock-david' has incorrect permissions.
[22:08] <kyle> off to pool leagues, thank you for the help
[22:08] <fitztrev> How can I hide my ipod icon on the gnome desktop?  It's there whever my ipod is plugged in
[22:08] <zsquareplusc> carpeliam: a programm may look at argv[0] and see how it was launched and then change behaviour
[22:08] <RobertTables> Slart, Is what your talking about hostname, is it in the smb.conf?
[22:09] <Slart> tCzern: take a look at debsums, sounds promising
[22:09] <erUSUL> carpeliam: symbolink links can contain program options iirc
[22:09] <zsquareplusc> carpeliam: argv beeing the list of command line arguments. the 1st one is the command itself
[22:09] <mindframe-> should compiz work with intel 945GM chipsets?  when I enable desktop effects it goes and searches for a driver and then says it can not enable
[22:09] <Neuling> WDC: try with Sudo
[22:09] <zsquareplusc> erUSUL: that is new to me, tell me more :-)
[22:09] <Neuling> WDC: sudo Truecrypt
[22:09] <WDC> Neuling: kk
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> WDC: sudo chown david ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david
[22:10] <dirtbag> erUSUL: I knew what lts stood for , just not sure why 8.10 isnt part of it.
[22:10] <Slart> RobertTables: it's been a long time since I bothered with samba and nmbd.. perhaps take a look at the samba site.. nmbd is a service that translates network names to ip's.. pretty much like dns but for a lan afaik
[22:10] <erUSUL> zsquareplusc: well "if i recall correctly" is the key part may be wrong
[22:10] <WDC> Neuling: ActionParsnip: Doesn't work
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> WDC: does the file exist?
[22:10] <tCzern> thanks!!
[22:10] <zsquareplusc> erUSUL: :-)
[22:10] <erUSUL> dirtbag: 8.10 is not lts so it is only supported 18 months iirc
[22:10] <rblst> n8tuser: i may be completely lame, but i don't see such an option in OO
[22:10] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Pretty sure. It installed from a .deb. Sudo truecrypt works
[22:10] <mintsoup> Does anyone have any experience running nvidia drivers on top of an 8800gt?  How good is the linux support of this card?
[22:11] <Slart> mintsoup: I have an 8800gtx, it's not really the same but close.. it works nicely btw
[22:11] <p0a> Hello
[22:11] <mindrape> hi p0a
[22:11] <tallmtt> I see "oem-config" is in the repositories - will it work to reset the install to oem?
[22:11] <dirtbag> erUSUL: Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification.
[22:11] <carpeliam> i'm assuming 8.10 isn't LTS because it's not rock-solid stable, but i'd assume that about any distro that's not LTS, i don't know anything about 8.10 specifically
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> WDC: can you give the output of ls -l ~/..TrueCrypt-lock-david
[22:11] <mintsoup> Slart: does video playback work properly when you have compiz enabled?
[22:12] <Slart> mintsoup: yup, even hd material plays nicely
[22:12] <jtimberman> carpeliam: 8.04 is the latest LTS release.
[22:12] <PriceChild> tallmtt: no, it just deletes the temporary user and makes sure that when it reboots, it gives a setup for the new 'real' user
[22:12] <p0a> I'm trying to install firefox 3. I download it from the official website, I run the binary located in ./firefox/firefox and I get the error message that I have GTK+ 2.8 and firefox 3 needs >= 2.10. Is there any way to upgrade GTK+ with apt-get?-
[22:12] <mintsoup> Slart: hooray.. now just to convince my vista-loving roommate to swap his 8800gt for my hd4850..
[22:12] <WDC> ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip Apparently there is no file
[22:12] <WDC> hmm
[22:12] <rblst>  n8tuser: i though cups config was system-wide and OO takes that, too
[22:12] <DIFH-iceroot> p0a: just use apt-get
[22:12] <mindrape> carpeliam: dont take my word for it... http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes
[22:12] <dr4k3> erver irc.got2think.org
[22:12] <p0a> DIFH-iceroot: how?
[22:13] <DIFH-iceroot> p0a: sudo apt-get install firefox
[22:13] <Slart> mintsoup: large amounts of alcohol usually simplifies the negotiation process =)
[22:13] <jtimberman> p0a what version of ubuntu are you using? 3.0(beta) came with Hardy and 3.0 ships with Intrepid
[22:13] <mintsoup> Slart: thanks for the advice
[22:13] <p0a> jtimberman: intrepid?
[22:13] <Slart> mintsoup: but I thought ati was getting better?
[22:13] <jtimberman> Intrepid Ibex, 8.10
[22:13] <DIFH-iceroot> p0a: or sudo apt-get install firefox3  dont know the name of the (meta)paket
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> WDC: try copying the one from /root to your home folder then change its permissions and ownership to david for full access
[22:13] <p0a> jtimberman: I'm using 6.06
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> WDC: does the app need root privs to run?
[22:14] <mintsoup> Slart, ati still has tons of problems with various apps in combination, especially with compiz
[22:14] <WDC> ActionParsnip: I have no idea. I just installed it
[22:14] <reconn> does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"?
[22:14] <Slart> RobertTables: here's a page from the samba site about name resolution.. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch07.html
[22:14] <Slart>  mintsoup
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> WDC: id read yup on what you have just installed
[22:14] <p0a> any ideas?
[22:14] <p0a> apt-cache search gtk+ returns a lot of results
[22:14] <Bupsss> does anybody knows how to change the size of the avatar in the login screen?
[22:14] <WDC> ActionParsnip: lol
[22:14] <WDC> ActionParsnip: So what do I need to do
[22:15] <Slart> mintsoup: hmm.. to bad.. well.. perhaps next year
[22:15] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Again, sorry
[22:15] <BusMaster> I just upgraded from hardy to interpid on my amd64 setup and my system has slowed down a *lot*..booting takes time, even after booting, normal operations take too much time. The mouse also feels slow and jerky..how should I fix this? google didn't provide any solutions
[22:15] <zamba> i need a command to grep for a line in a file, and if it's found, remove the line before and after..
[22:15] <mindrape> p0a - your best bet, knowing you are on 6.06, is to look for a repository where they made it work with your older libraries.  Google is your best bet.
[22:15] <zamba> .. and the line found
[22:15] <mintsoup> Slart; yeah.. maybe, but I wish i had remembered my previous experience w/ ati when purchasing this computer.. somehow slipped my mind
[22:15] <jtimberman> p0a sorry i'm not much help, i just upgraded my 6.06 box to 8.10 the other day.
[22:15] <jtimberman> and its a server anyway so no firefox
[22:15] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Well, reagrdless
[22:15] <mindrape> p0a - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847484
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> WDC: try: sudo cp /root/.TrueCrypt-lock-david ~/ && sudo chown david ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david && sudo chmod 733 ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david
[22:16] <WDC> ActionParsnip: I have no access to /home/david. I had a backup of the /home folder from my old Ubuntu install
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> WDC: it may need root to run like alien does. If its a GUI app use gksudo
[22:16] <mindrape> p0a - your best bet is to just upgrade to the next LTS version.
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> WDC: then change ~/ to wherever your profile is stored
[22:16] <LjL> zamba: "grep" won't do that, you'll need "sed" for that. i don't really know how that would be done though, ask in #sed
[22:16] <reconn> does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"?
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> WDC: make sure you can write to your own home directory
[22:16] <zamba> LjL: thanks :)
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> reconn: set it to 100 and experiment
[22:17] <WDC> ActionParsnip: how do I do that!
[22:17] <jtimberman> LjL or perl :)
[22:18] <jtimberman> WDC: "ls -ld ~"
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> WDC: well wherever your home stuffs are with all you folders starting with .
[22:18] <WDC> ActionParsnip: I understand now
[22:18] <scunizi> ActionParsnip, WDC might run into the same issue I had (and still haven't fixed).. if his current user id is different from the old one he'll have permission issues..
[22:18] <WDC> ActionParsnip: But, I can't do anyting in my home folder
[22:18] <WDC> scunizi: on both installs it was 'david'. No different
[22:19] <reconn> does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"?
[22:19] <scunizi> WDC, there is a number associated with the install.. if you are the only one using the computer it's typically 1000.. on my setup I had a user id of 1000 on one machine and 1001 on another with the same user name.
[22:19] <MTecknology> reconn: what's it set to by defautl/
[22:19] <jtimberman> WDC: the user name is merely a human mnemonic. the OS uses a number (uid) to represent permissions.
[22:19] <MTecknology> default*
[22:20] <WDC> scunizi: So how do I fix it? I have NO permissions to my home folder
[22:20] <rand0mabo> hey everyone... quick question -.. my optical USB mouse just randomly stopped working in ubuntu.. any idea what the problem could be, or how to fix it (without having to reboot) ?
[22:20] <reconn> MTecknology  20.000
[22:20] <reconn> 20000*
[22:20] <DIFH-iceroot> rand0mabo: try another usb-port
[22:20] <reconn> does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? the standard is set to 20000.
[22:20] <zleap> rand0mabo: try cleaning it
[22:20] <jtimberman> WDC: ensure you are logged in under your UID, then run "sudo chown $USER ~$USER"
[22:20] <MTecknology> !repeat > reconn
[22:21] <tallmtt> PriceChild: (I asked the question re: oem-config) - How can I delete the only non-root user on the computer and have a setup for a new "real" user on next boot without re-installing OEM?
[22:21] <rand0mabo> DIFH-iceroot,  and zleap it's not the physical port as I never have this issue when running windows. (I have a dual-booted system)
[22:21] <riz_> haro
[22:21] <mindrape> herro
[22:21] <scunizi> WDC, I'll let jtimberman do it
[22:21] <MTecknology> reconn: milliseconds*
[22:21] <DIFH-iceroot> rand0mabo: i had the same problem but with windows and not ubuntu, another port was working,  sorry dont know the reason
[22:21] <MTecknology> reconn: I assume you read through the man page first?
[22:21] <mindrape> tallmtt - you can boot into single user mode and it will let you become root.
[22:22] <WDC> It's still not working
[22:22] <mindrape> WDC - what is the username?
[22:22] <mindrape> you realize $USER is a variable and not a literal, right?
[22:22] <WDC> mindrape: david
[22:22] <zleap> i was thinking it could have picked some dirt up from somewhere,
[22:22] <zleap> even a small bit in the wrong place can cause issues sometimes
[22:22] <mindrape> WDC - cd /home         chown david.david /home/david
[22:23] <rand0mabo> is there like a USB device manager for ubuntu?   I have a laptop with 4 power USB powers, and I use a USB keyboard and mouse... wondering if i could someone managed those devices???
[22:23] <mindrape> make sure you sudo on that actually.  :)
[22:23] <tallmtt> mindrape: Great!  So if I delete the user, and user's home directory - that setup will automatically run?
[22:23] <zleap> not sure
[22:23] <WDC> WEll, it still doesn't work
[22:23] <MTecknology> mindrape: cd; chown -R david:david ~       <- better??
[22:23] <mindrape> tallmtt - no...
[22:23] <mindrape> MTecknology: indeed... but still missing sudo.  :P
[22:23] <koops> whats wrong with microsoft? they didnt let me write emails on hotmail just because in about:config general.useragent.vendor i had Ubuntu!
[22:23] <vock> Using Ubuntu 8.04, and wondering for lack of a better word, how to edit/add applications to the "start" menu?
[22:23] <rand0mabo> also - after unplugging and plugging back in both the keyboard and/or mouse - neither of them work, as if there's no plug-n-play monitor???
[22:23] <rand0mabo> not sure if im making sense
[22:24] <p0a> koops: what error did you get
[22:24] <MTecknology> WDC: cd; sudo chown -R david:david ~
[22:24] <WDC> mindrape: chown: changing ownership of `/home/david/.gvfs': Function not implemented
[22:24] <p0a> whta do you mean what is wrong with microsoft it's a company and ubuntu/firefox are competitors, there's many things exclusively to their OS/web browser
[22:24] <zleap> yeah
[22:24] <MTecknology> WDC: don't worry about that
[22:24] <WDC> MTecknology: same thing
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> sorry pidgin died
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> did someone say something to me
[22:24] <MTecknology> WDC: .gvfs is a special case - ignore it
[22:25] <WDC> MTecknology: Awesome thanks
[22:25] <WDC> Stuff works now
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> WDC: you got a goal?
[22:25] <WDC> ActionParsnip: hmm?
[22:25] <xGERMx> Does anyone know how to find your computer name in 8.10?
[22:26] <koops> p0a, i "was" getting some error saying that i had to update my firefox to the last version... and if i continued it didnt let me write emails, so i had to change general.useragent.vendor to anything else but ubuntu, if not i couldnt write emails, the web page look ok and everything but when i went to new email, the boddy just didnt appear
[22:26] <MTecknology> xGERMx: hostname

TO do this, I want to authenticate with an ubuntu based desktop, then I am using a usb -> ethernet converter to run the internet into the linksys router.  I just got the desktop to log on to the network, but am having no success in getting ubuntu to push the internet through to the router.  Anyone willing to give me a hand?  Thanks a ton!

[22:31] <KnomeDE> where are gtk theme files located?
[22:31] <MTecknology> Mac: you want to make a good secure router basically?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> lol_udied: you need to find out which disk windows is installed on then add its data to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:32] <Mac> no. I want to acess a network on my faculty
[22:32] <MTecknology> Mac: I'm not understanding you

[22:33] <lol_udied> ActionParsnip - I uninstalled linux, but I still get the Dual-Boot for windows and Linux, so linux is no longer on my computer but the grub terminal is still there. I did fixboot and fixmbr in the windows recovery console. and I cant reboot because I think i typed in something in the GRUB terminal that made my C drive inactive
[22:34] <Chousuke> Mac: tkip? hopefully with AES.
[22:34] <Mac> WPA (EAP)
[22:34] <MTecknology> lol_udied: fixmbr replaces the boot record - grub will no longer exist there
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> lol_udied: oh i see, if you do not want grub to show and dont have linux installed its not a ubuntu issue. I'd ask in ##windows as they can tell you how to rewrite the windows boot sector

[22:35] <MattP2> Hey, I am trying to set up a wifi network on a secure network.  TO do this, I want to authenticate with an ubuntu based desktop, then I am using a usb -> ethernet converter to run the internet into the linksys router.  I just got the desktop to log on to the network, but am having no success in getting ubuntu to push the internet through to the router.  Anyone willing to give me a hand?  Thanks a ton!

[22:38] <MTecknology> eddVRS: that was asking for it - now questions come in (why is it not working)
[22:39] <MTecknology> tux9778: go to the ubuntu website
[22:39] <jack_> oéé
[22:39] <MTecknology> tux9778: there's a link that says download

[22:40] <Mac> its a hard question i think
[22:40] <jack_> no problem for speaking english
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> emilien: run your backup and reinstall as normal, then restore the data. You could partition your drive to have /home on a separate partition
[22:40] <eddVRS> anyone using irssi? how do I PM?
[22:40] <amdpox> eddVRS, does /query username work?
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> eddVRS: man irssi
[22:40] <MTecknology> emilien: you can't now - but when you first partitioned the drive you could have put /home on a different partition and you wouldn't have to worry abou tit
[22:40] <MTecknology> !interpid | tux9778

[22:42] <ActionParsnip> emilien: when you reinstall, wipe the drive clean and create 3 partitions, /swp / and /home
[22:42] <Mac> I see that no one can help me on my issue
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> emilien: you should have a backup plan anyway
[22:43] <xGERMx> Mac use a program other than Network Manager
[22:43] <RobertTables> Cmon guys! :-) I have an ubuntu box setup and I can browse/write to it from windows by using the \\ipaddress, Is there a way that I can refer to it by its \\hostname ??
[22:43] <Mac> wicd?
[22:43] <Mac> xGERMx: WICD?
[22:43] <xGERMx> give it a try
[22:43] <emilien> ActionParsnip:  ok good idea but does this not mean /home seize will be limtied ?
[22:44] <Mac> xGERMx: i already try it....don't work :(
[22:44] <xGERMx> Mac: wifi radar?
[22:44] <Mac> xGERMx: i will try wifi-radar
[22:44] <irini> help me
[22:44] <Mac> xGERMx: one second
[22:44] <irini> can someone help me
[22:44] <xGERMx> RobertTables: I'm asking almost the same question
[22:45] <irini> who is best in linux?
[22:45] <jmarsden> RobertTables: Yes, you need the name lookup used by the windows box to know about the name of your Ubunut box...
[22:45] <eddVRS> amdpox: yes it(/ query) does work, thanks
[22:45] <gavagai> I have succeeded in installing TVAnts.  I can get it to find channels.  But I can't get mplayer or vlc to open the feeds.  Anyone have success with this?
[22:45] <irini> how i configure Xorg
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> emilien: you could symlink to a folder in / if you need more space
[22:45] <irini> with the terminal
[22:45] <jmarsden> RobertTables: You can edit the hosts file in windows to do that, or get DNS working if you haev a local DNS server, or... lots of possibilities... all depends on your network.
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> irini: man xorg.conf
[22:46] <thaunreal> Hi, im sitting on a laptop with a Integrated in Radeon XPress 1100 chipset, after i tried installing the new ati drivers, i cant play any video.. the video opens, and i get sound, but the picture is just black
[22:46] <emilien> ActionParsnip:  i could do that after install ?
[22:46] <irini> but when i want 2 save it it don't
[22:46] <lakitu> how do i backup partition tables, mbrs, & bootsectors (or ...) while they're good?
[22:46] <xGERMx> jmarsden: the real question is, how do we get the hostname in the first place (w/o using the command line)
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> emilien: yeah if you need more space
[22:46] <jmarsden> Define "get" ?  You typed it in at Ubuntu install time, right?
[22:46] <RobertTables> jmarsden, I have samba up and running and added it to the workgroup etc, from windows when I look through my workgroup I can see a listing for the ubuntu host, but cant browse it... the only way I can access the shares is by referring to it by \\ip-address...
[22:46] <emilien> ActionParsnip:  ok cross that bridge if or when i get there =)
[22:47] <irini> actionparsnip
[22:47] <jmarsden> RobertTables: I can't do a full Samba browsing troubleshoot here, I'll go mad...
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> emilien: create a folder elsewhere and make appropriate permissions and ownerships, then symlink the folder so its easier to access
[22:47] <Andreica> i installed a theme, after it i changed to a default theme and now i cannot install again that theme. It shows me: Cannot move directory over directory
[22:47] <joebodo> how do i force a 32 bit repository into apt on amd64 ?
[22:47] <Andreica> what to do?
[22:47] <xGERMx> Roberttables: http://jngalloway.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/easy-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-no-editing-text-files/
[22:47] <RobertTables> jmarsden, can it not be set in the smb.conf?
[22:48] <xGERMx> that's the guide for 8.04
[22:48] <jmarsden> RobertTables: Not-quite-working SMB browsing can be happening for many reasons...
[22:48] <xGERMx> should work 95%
[22:49] <joebodo> Andreica you can try removing the theme directory from your .themes
[22:49] <bobbyd> hi
[22:49] <jmarsden> xGERMx: Would getting the hostname into a GUI (not text mode) editor work for you?  I can do that in Emacs? :-)
[22:49] <King_Bob> Hi i need a hand reformatting a sata drive
[22:49] <Andreica> it works, thank you
[22:49] <xGERMx> im writing the article for new ubuntu users
[22:50] <bobbyd> I had a Windows VPN set up in Hardy that worked fine, it's now disappeared in Intrepid and when i add my details again, it doesn't connect
[22:50] <RobertTables> jmarsden, i can read and write as i say by browsing by ipaddress.. I dont care about getting the SMB share into the worgroup in my network, i just want to get the name sorted so i can hit my ubuntu webserver/ping like: http://my-machine-name
[22:50] <emilien> ActionParsnip:  for /home in partition menue i chose primary or logical ?
[22:50] <xGERMx> I want to do everything as simple as possible
[22:50] <RobertTables> thanks xGERMx, ill take a look
[22:50] <King_Bob> im using Gparted and need to know what file system i need to format the drive in to use it as a slave , i cant seem to work it out!
[22:50] <l7> hi, does anyone have tips on how i should partition my drive for a new ubuntu install?  i want a seperate home partition, but i'm not sure how much space to allocate to the OS
[22:50] <bobbyd> I've tried running /usr/lib/network-manager-pptp/nm-pptp-service explicitly and finding the error
[22:50] <l7> also, do i need a seperate swap directory or not?
[22:50] <DIFH-iceroot> King_Bob: normally ext3
[22:50] <xGERMx> the weird part is that in 8.04 finding the hostname was very east
[22:50] <xGERMx> easy*
[22:51] <l7> swap partition
[22:51] <bobbyd> I just get: LCP terminated by peer (D^_>M-^B^@<M-Mt^@^@^BM-3)
[22:51] <rblst> if i change the default printer in CUPS, OpenOffice doesn't see it, how to make OO use CUPS settings?
[22:51] <jmarsden> xGERMx: What did you do in 8.04 to get it?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> emilien: primary
[22:51] <DIFH-iceroot> l7: no, you can also use a swap file
[22:51] <emilien> ActionParsnip:  ok thanks
[22:51] <xGERMx> http://jngalloway.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/easy-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-no-editing-text-files/
[22:51] <Mac> xGERMx:
[22:51] <l7> DIFH-iceroot: there's no perfomance hit to using a swap file?
[22:51] <bobbyd> can anyone help me get it connected or debug it more?
[22:51] <DIFH-iceroot> l7: just use enough ram, this is best for performance
[22:51] <joebodo> !partition | l7
[22:52] <emilien> ActionParsnip:  location for the new partition begining or end , sorry for 20 questions =)
[22:52] <l7> DIFH-iceroot: ah okay, i'll give that a read, thanks
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> emilien: always select start
[22:52] <DIFH-iceroot> l7: only if you use an extra hdd there is a better perfomance. there is no differen between spaw-partiotion and swap file on the same hdd
[22:53] <Mac> xGERMx: i try wifi-radar and don't work
[22:53] <joebodo> how do i force a 32 bit repository into apt on amd64 ?
[22:54] <King_Bob> DIFH-iceroot: Okay ive formated the drive and mounted to my desktop but dont have write permissions , how do i solve that ?
[22:54] <joebodo> (i do not have access to the actual deb)
[22:54] <xGERMx> Thanks everyone! off to school.
[22:54] <DIFH-iceroot> King_Bob: mount rhe drive with "rw"
[22:54] <Mac> xGermx: I try wifi-radar and don't work
[22:54] <King_Bob> rw?
[22:55] <DIFH-iceroot> read write
[22:55] <DIFH-iceroot> King_Bob: you are the owner of the partition? or is it root?
[22:55] <fwaokda> I have tried about 5 "HowTo" articles on getting sirius internet radio to play in firefox with the latest ubuntu and I still can't get it to work.  Can someone help me?
[22:55] <rblst> if i change the default printer in CUPS, OpenOffice doesn't see it, how to make OO use CUPS settings?
[22:56] <l7> what are the GPG files and metalink file at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ for?
[22:56] <l7> i'm wondering how i can use GPG to verify the checksum
[22:56] <l7> though maybe doing md5 on the .iso is enough
[22:56] <cappiz> hi, where is the networks interfaces stored?
[22:56] <noTrace> o.O?

[22:59] <Xpistos> I was just wasting time at work but now is time to go so See YAs!
[22:59] <Mac> jmarsden: can you help me with a wireless issue?
[22:59] <n8tuser> rblst-> then why not change it on that printer settings? what is stopping you?
[22:59] <goat_srv> NekroJakub: ask in #pidgin
[22:59] <mindrape> Xpistos - you sure are... a shining example of somebody who follows company policies and standards and exhibits good ethical values.
[22:59] <Mac> jmarsden: i appreciate if you do that!
[23:00] <jmarsden> Mac: I doubt it... wired LANs are more secure and usually faster... :-)  WHat specifically is the issue?
[23:01] <n8tuser> solara-> you dont install a kernel with dpkg -i   you just have an entry in your menu.lst and reboot from it
[23:01] <rblst> n8tuser: i'm sure it's a trivial problem, but i don't know how to get OO to change it
[23:01] <gavagai> I have installed TVAnts.  I can connect to channels.  But I can't open streams in vlc or mplayer.  Anyone have success with this?
[23:02] <solara> n8tuser: I just followed the directions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile?action=recall&rev=61 , because the compilation generated debs, not just the kernel
[23:02] <rblst> n8tuser: could you explain in a bit more detail?
[23:02] <RobertTables> jmarsden, what germ said didnt work anyway! , ah well..  back to google!
[23:03] <codecowboy> hi. i am having problems installing grub on my mbr from Ubuntu live CD. I either get file not found from the grub prompt or 'The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly'. ANy ideas?
[23:03] <ferronica> can anyone help me regarding Microsoft wireless laser keyboard 6000 v.2.0 ?
[23:03] <n8tuser> rblst-> open your office writer then from menu file->printer settings  select the  default printer
[23:03] <think_linux> hey guys...am i allowed to ask queestions about ettercap?
[23:03] <NekroJakub> I heard that I don't need a swap partition if I have 2GB RAM, is that true?
[23:04] <thiebaude> !swap
[23:04] <noecksit> hello, i have a problem with gdm and logging users in, we use a ldap server which has usernames but no groups for our users, so when gdm tries to login it doesn't let it because there is no default group
[23:04] <Mac_> jmarsden: i have a wireless network on my university that uses WPA-PSK TKIP. I can not connect to it! Do you know how i can solve this? I'm using Ubuntu 8.10
[23:04] <thiebaude> 2gb should be fast
[23:04] <gavagai> NekroJakub, if it is a laptop you need swap to hibernate
[23:04] <noecksit> it works when logging in through the cli login utility but not through gdm
[23:04] <Slart> NekroJakub: unless you're going to use hibernating I don't think you really really need swap
[23:04] <think_linux> hey guys...am i allowed to ask queestions about ettercap?
[23:04] <ferronica> can anyone help me regarding Microsoft wireless laser keyboard 6000 v.2.0 volume up and down key not working :(
[23:05] <noecksit> also, if i create a group for a user it allows him to login, but that is inefficient since for each user we will have to make a group
[23:05] <jmarsden> Mac_: That's likely to be specific to the card (wireless chipset) you are using and its driver.
[23:05] <rblst> n8tuser: i can of course do that, but if i restart OO, it shows the old printer as default again
[23:05] <jimmacdonald> OK seriously... Has anyone else had problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD?
[23:05] <NekroJakub> gavagi: If it's a PC I don't need swap to hibernate?
[23:05] <goat_srv> !ask | think_linux
[23:05] <noecksit> is there a way to add a user to a default group before gdm login like a cli one?
[23:05] <jmarsden> Mac_: Google for the chipset name and ubuntu and see if you find anything useful?
[23:05] <goat_srv> think_linux: you may be told its offtopic, but i dont knoww about ettercap
[23:05] <think_linux> goat_srv, coz maybe i thought it was off topic
[23:05] <think_linux> ?
[23:06] <Mac_> jmarsden: it work very well on several wireless networks
[23:06] <think_linux> goat_srv, alright...i wont then
[23:06] <Mac_> jmarsden: but with TKIP don't work
[23:06] <jmarsden> OK, so does the driver and related software you are using support TKIP?  Is it *supposed* to be able to do that?
[23:06] <Mac_> jmarsden: i already look on google and there is a lot of peole with the same problem
[23:07] <jmarsden> Mac_: Then most likely either there is a bug already filed in LaunchPad, or you should file one.
[23:07] <goat_srv> think_linux: i'd try looking for a channel that focuses on ettercap
[23:07] <Mac_> jmarsden: i'm usinf the proprietary driver for my wireless card
[23:07] <Mac_> *using
[23:07] <think_linux> goat_srv, i went to ettercap ifficial channell....no one there lol
[23:07] <jmarsden> Mac_: Then the quick solution would probably be to buy a supported card intead... sad but true...
[23:08] <bobbyd> hi
[23:08] <gig>  I am trying to install mythbuntu....when it starts it goes to a screen that says busybox... initramfs buffer i/o error dev sr0.... and stops
[23:08] <Mac_> jmarsden: ok...thanks
[23:08] <bobbyd> is there any way to *downgrade* network manager. My VPN used to work fine, but in the new version it's gone.
[23:08] <Mac_> jmarsden: i will try look more on google
[23:09] <jmarsden> gig: That may be a bad hardware (bad RAM?  Bad CD?) issue?  CAn you boot and run memtest86+ for a while with no errors?
[23:09] <codecowboy> hi. i am having problems installing grub on my mbr from Ubuntu live CD. I either get file not found from the grub prompt or 'The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly'. ANy ideas?
[23:10] <gig> jmarsden: yep i can install an older version of mythbuntu 7.10
[23:10] <jmarsden> gig: Does the cd test for the newly burned one say the CD is OK?
[23:10] <gavagai> Should a program running in wine have networking automagically?  I have Tvants running but can't get anything to stream.

[23:11] <kuro> I used dd to make a copy of my Ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD.  How do i add the new partition to Grub.  I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps
[23:11] <codecowboy> joebodo: thanks but i have tried all that and still getting the errors
[23:12] <Double0> I am having troubles with a PPTP vpn on intrepid.  It will connect, and I can SSH to remote servers via IP, but the SSH hangs frequently, and I get absolutely no DNS through the VPN.  Any ideas where to start looking?
[23:12] <lakitu> how do i backup partition tables, mbrs, & bootsectors (or ...) from linux, while they're good?
[23:12] <joebodo> codecowboy sorry but the bot knows more than me
[23:13] <Deadmode> lakitu, i would just google search
[23:13] <goat_srv> !backup | lakitu
[23:13] <User___> Hello
[23:13] <lakitu> Deadmode, i was hoping someone with experience could recommend the best program
[23:13] <FFEMTcJ> on windows i used free download manager.. now that im on linux, what is the best download manager that works like free download manger?
[23:13] <joebodo> firefox !
[23:14] <FFEMTcJ> s/manger/manager
[23:14] <goat_srv> !cloning | lakitu
[23:14] <jmarsden> lakitu: for just the boot sector, maybe just do   dd if=/dev/sda of=bootsector.img bs=512 count=1
[23:14] <owh> Hi all, running Intrepid I am trying to get x running on two screens. Under gutsy you could just add a section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a ServerLayout, but that no longer exists. How do I get two independent screens again? (My screens work, but there is much dead space - their sizes are different.)
[23:14] <Deadmode> lakitu, mmm i seee i don't blame you there.  I have no experience with backing up partitions sorry.
[23:14] <jimmacdonald> OK seriously... Has anyone else had problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD?
[23:14] <owh> lakitu: You can backup a partition with dd.
[23:15] <kuro> I used dd to make a copy of my Ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD.  How do i add the new partition to Grub.  I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps
[23:15] <goat_srv> lakitu: i would look at that second section for cloning, but dd is your best option for backing up
[23:15] <joebodo> owh what vid card ?
[23:15] <lakitu> goat_srv, ok, thanks
[23:15] <owh> joebodo: i915
[23:15] <goat_srv> yw
[23:15] <lakitu> owh: ok
[23:15] <ferronica> how to run avermedia TVTUNER in ubuntu 8.04 to listen Radio ?
[23:15] <owh> lakitu: Something like : dd if=/dev/sda1 of=bob.img
[23:16] <TLove> Hello, I currently have a laptop that doesnt have a cd drive. I have put ubuntu on my desktop and i'd like to get it on my laptop. However im not sure if i can without gettig ahold of an external cd rom drive.
[23:16] <TLove> Is there another way>
[23:16] <owh> TLove: Does it have a network connection?
[23:16] <TLove> Im on it now
[23:16] <zendo> Hi. I'm using 8.04, how can I prevent firefox 3 from starting in offline mode always?
[23:16] <Spets> TLove, boot from USB?
[23:16] <owh> TLove: Then you could setup a PXE boot, or boot from USB as Spets suggests.
[23:17] <TLove> umm, Im not sure, I'd think it might. If it does i think i can just boot from the usb right?
[23:17] <TLove> yeah
[23:17] <owh> joebodo: That's an Intel 915 in case I wasn't clear.
[23:17] <rblst> if i change the default printer in CUPS, OpenOffice doesn't see it, how to make OO use CUPS settings?
[23:17] <Deadmode> lakitu, be sure to transfer that .img though otherwise it's completely useless keeping it on the same disk :P
[23:17] <Havsalt> what filesystem should i use for a disk shared with linux and windows. it's basicly just music and movies
[23:17] <Deadmode> lakitu,  :P defeats the purpose
[23:17] <TLove> Just wondering, is there another way? cause i really dont want to go hunt for the jumpdrive i lost.
[23:17] <jimmacdonald> I am haveing problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD. I run the LiveCd, I am able to make the drive sucessfully (I get no errors). but when I try to boot from the thumbdrive I get an error "no OS found"
[23:18] <gavagai> Does networking automatically work in wine or does it need to be configured?
[23:18] <rblst> Havsalt: NTFS, it works most of the time...
[23:18] <Deadmode> Havsalt,  if its a large drive you can just use ntfs.  you can make linux read ntfs most of the time
[23:18] <Spets> jimmacdonald: Are you sure thats the USB you are booting from
[23:18] <owh> TLove: As I said, a PXE boot, using TFTP, there are several instructions, basically you setup a PXE server and point your laptop at it. IIRC there is even a public PXE server out there.
[23:18] <Havsalt> rbd, most of the time yes, i've noticed
[23:19] <zendo> Hi. I'm using 8.04, how can I prevent firefox 3 from starting in offline mode always?
[23:19] <mcphail> Havsalt: i go for ext these days. Windows ext2/3 drivers are ok
[23:19] <Havsalt> Deadmode and rblst, isnt there anything more stable?
[23:19] <jmarsden> Havsalt: FAT32 maybe?
[23:19] <owh> zendo: You should be able to set it to online mode, then quit, then launch it again.
[23:19] <kuro> I used dd to make a copy of my Ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD.  How do i add the new partition to Grub.  I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps
[23:19] <zendo> owh:  no that doesnt work for "years"
[23:20] <rblst> Havsalt: samba or nfs?
[23:20] <zendo> owh: never*
[23:20] <owh> kuro: The menu.1st file in /boot/{mumble}
[23:20] <Havsalt> jmarsden, if it's more stable i'll give it a go. what was the maximum filesize, or partiton size for FAT32?
[23:20] <Deadmode> Havsalt, well fat32 i suppose....honestly i've been using ntfs for a long time to transfer back and forth.  If the computer that you transfer to is on the same network i would take serious consideration into samba
[23:20] <owh> zendo: I do not understand what you are saying.
[23:20] <kuro> owh: What do i need to enter
[23:20] <Havsalt> rblst, sorry, im a newbie. i think i use nfs now
[23:21] <Deadmode> Havsalt,  samba server is very very nice.  Would hate doing any kind of transfer with out it
[23:21] <zendo> owh: sorry.  What you have told me never worked with ff3
[23:21] <Deadmode> at least a transfer at my house :)
[23:21] <Havsalt> Deadmode, it's not network
[23:21] <owh> kuro: Have a look at the file, the HD(0,0) stuff is pointing to your partition. I cannot give you specifics, it's different for each OS and installation.
[23:21] <jmarsden> Havsalt: I forget... it's smaller... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table or google for "FAT32 limits"
[23:21] <goat_srv> Deadmode: but samba has more overhead than nfs
[23:21] <zendo> owh: I set that and next time it still starts in offline mode
[23:22] <owh> zendo: Well, I'm running FF3 and it doesn't do that for me, so perhaps your profile is corrupt.
[23:22] <goat_srv> more overhead == less bits per second
[23:22] <Deadmode> goat_srv, oh i haven't used nfs yet
[23:23] <zendo> owh: can you explain me what and where? I really wouldnt like to lose all bookmarks and extensions, by deleting ~/.mozilla
[23:23] <scunizi> zendo, just rename it
[23:23] <zendo> scunizi: rename what and where please?
[23:23] <scunizi> zendo, mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup
[23:24] <ElecMoHwk> I'm having an SMTP issue when sending from my home Ubuntu server to a gmail account.  I get a 550 denied error, telling me I'm not authorized to send from<EMAIL_ADDRESS>... is there anyway to fix this other than a reverse DNS entry?  My IP is dhcp from my cable provider so that is not possible.  Am I screwed for SMTP out?
[23:24] <ardchoille> zendo: before you rename it you can go into firefox bookmarks and export them to html, then import them in the new profile
[23:24] <zendo> scunizi: i tried that... but ok, i'll try it again
[23:24] <scunizi> zendo, you can also export your bookmarks etc.. before hand and then import them later
[23:24] <zendo> thanks guys I'll try that
[23:25] <colton>  What's a good editor for HTML and PHP?
[23:26] <scunizi> !html | colton
[23:26] <Andreica> almost at every second, firestarter shows me an event. what it signify? will anything happen id i will stop firewall?
[23:26] <Andreica> if*
[23:26] <gavagai> YES YES YES YES YES I HAVE TVANTS WORKING... lol
[23:26] <rblst> if i change the default printer in CUPS, OpenOffice doesn't see it, how to make OO use CUPS settings?
[23:26] <ardchoille> Andreica: it's probably showing you your irc connection and any web browser connections
[23:27] <owh> rblst: You need to quit OO.o
[23:27] <gavagai> OO.o, I can't quit you.
[23:27] <kri> hi
[23:27] <rblst> owh: if i restart, it won't change
[23:27] <owh> rblst: It won't show the changes in CUPS until it launches again.
[23:27] <kri> what is the dafult config for mplayer after 'apt-get install' ?
[23:27] <kri> deafult*
[23:27] <scunizi> rblst, quite and restart.. but the printer can also be accessed from File Print
[23:27] <mario__> !it
[23:28] <thomc> Hello. Why does ubuntu slow down so severely when I'm copying large amounts of data?
[23:28] <lifesf> Hi, i need opinion (All 64bit): I installed Ubuntu Server 8.10; then desktop over it; am wondering if i can install Ubuntu Studio overtop of this
[23:28] <scunizi> thomc, 'cause it's busy and you're probably doing it from the gui.. from terminal it's faster
[23:28] <Andreica> so, if i will stop firewall, won't happen anything bad?
[23:28] <rblst> scunizi: i did that, i quit from OO and the launched it again, still no change
[23:28] <owh> thomc: Is your drive encrypted?
[23:28] <scunizi> rblst, so it prints from the previous default priner?
[23:29] <thomc> owh I'm using Intrepid; is /home encrypted by default? If so, then yes.
[23:29] <rblst> scunizi: exactly
[23:29] <kri> can anyone check their dafult mplayer config please?!
[23:29] <owh> thomc: No, not unless you asked it to encrypt it.
[23:29] <thomc> owh no then
[23:29] <owh> kri, ask a question before you want us all to run around like headless chickens :-)
[23:29] <lifesf> Who thinks I can install ubuntu studio over ubuntu server+desktop without problem? (This being all 64bit)
[23:30] <ferdinando> ciao
[23:30] <ferdinando> italianeeeeeeeeeee
[23:30] <kri> owh: i asked allready.
[23:30] <scunizi> rblst, it might be because OO is remembering which printer you used last.. do a file/print change the printer to the one you want and print a page. then save the file.. next time it opens that should be the default printer then.
[23:30] <ElecMoHwk> I'm having an SMTP issue when sending from my home Ubuntu server to a gmail account.  I get a 550 denied error, telling me I'm not authorized to send from<EMAIL_ADDRESS>... is there anyway to fix this other than a reverse DNS entry?  My IP is dhcp from my cable provider so that is not possible.  Am I screwed for SMTP out?
[23:30] <owh> thomc: Perhaps you're running low on RAM and it's having to work hard at copying your files?
[23:30] <kri> i have manually installed mplayer cause if i apt-get install it, it will remove lamemp3-dev etc. i need the deafult config that it use though... where do i find it?
[23:30] <thomc> owh I have 4GB and memory usage is 14%
[23:31] <owh> kri, if you install something manually, you're on your own.
[23:31] <rblst> scunizi: thanks, i'll try it when i have the chance, but i'm afraid it's not that simple :(
[23:31] <kri> owh: oh thats so nice and cind of you. cause its so hard to upload that config to random host site?
[23:31] <koops> ammmm, i only can run java apps like frostwire with sudo... any ideas??
[23:31] <mcphail> ElecMoHwk: if your ip range is on the DUL some providers (e.g. hotmail) will block. Didn't know that gmail would block.
[23:31] <owh> thomc: You can add the System Monitor applet to your panel and show the various gauges, that will give you and idea.
[23:32] <scunizi> rblst, go to localhost:631 if you haven't already and make sure the printer you want is marked default there as well.. that's the direct cups interface
[23:32] <rblst> scunizi: yes, i've checked that
[23:32] <ardchoille> thomc: If you're looking to monitor various things on you computer, you might want to try gkrellm, it's in the repos
[23:32] <owh> kri, your question relates to a custom install from an unspecified site. There is absolutely no relation to the application you're running and the one that is shipped with Ubuntu. I'm not being a smart-ass, the question is not answerable.
[23:33] <ElecMoHwk> mcphail: appears it's just not allowing mail from users at any domain that is not under the ip.  I can actually send an email from @charter.net and it goes through<EMAIL_ADDRESS>works, ironicly.
[23:33] <kuro> how do i find the UUID of a partition
[23:33] <koops> never mind.... dont know why i can do it
[23:33] <thomc> owh I've checked hardware usage, each core of my processor is only showing 5-10% usage, and, as I said, RAM and swap aren't being used heavily either
[23:33] <owh> thomc: Is IOWAIT high?
[23:33] <rblst> Havsalt: have you considered running your vindoze on a virtual machine in Ubuntu?
[23:34] <scunizi> kuro, blkid
[23:34] <scunizi> kuro, sudo blkid
[23:34] <colton> !html | colton
[23:34] <Havsalt> rblst, haven't thought of that. not sure how i do it
[23:34] <mcphail> ElecMoHwk: perhaps you could try forwarding mail to your ISP's smtpd?
[23:34] <{alejandro}> so I am officially fed up with this pulseaudio business - I upgraded to Intrepid and lost my sound and I've tried most of the things I've seen on the forum like replacing sound with ESD - How do I make this thing work?
[23:34] <RobertTables> Cmon guys! :-) I have an ubuntu box setup and I can browse/write to it from windows by using the \\ipaddress, Is there a way that I can refer to it by its \\hostname ??
[23:34] <scunizi> !vbox | Havsalt
[23:35] <rblst> !virtualbox > Havsalt
[23:35] <thomc> owh sorry, how do I find out IOWAIT?
[23:35] <Havsalt> thx
[23:35] <owh> RobertTables: You could add the hostname to /etc/hosts
[23:35] <owh> thomc: The applet will show it.
[23:35] <scunizi> RobertTables, that's a windows question better answered in ##windows
[23:35] <maxxist> <-----   Luves VirtualBox
[23:35] <jimmacdonald> Spets: sorry...walked away for a minute. yes. I am sure I am booting from the USB because it's a Dell and I can get to a boot menu from startup that allows me to pick the device I wish to boot from .
[23:35] <gavagai> How do i see my internal ip address in the terminal?  (like ipconfig on windoze)?
[23:35] <owh> scunizi: No, it's a known bug in Nautilus :)
[23:36] <scunizi> oh
[23:36] <joebodo> gavagai ifconfig
[23:36] <garyE> hello anyone try backing up with norton ghost?
[23:36] <RobertTables> owh, how do you mean?
[23:36] <owh> gavagai: ifconfig
[23:36] <gavagai> thanks
[23:36] <jimmacdonald> gavagal: do you know your interface name?
[23:36] <rblst> !virtualizer > Havsalt
[23:36] <gavagai> jimmacdonald, wlan0 i believe
[23:36] <Andreica> in windows i typed shutdown -s -t 3600 to make my computer log off in a hour. How to do the same thing in ubuntu_
[23:36] <{alejandro}> here is my alsa-info.sh output http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=629ec524095378065f5f4eb101d939c0572c20f5 does anyone want to walk me through this?
[23:36] <benovic> hi
[23:37] <zenlunatic> Andreica: try man sleep
[23:37] <dave_> hi, im trying to get ubuntu on a tablet pc, a toshiba portege m200,  it doesnt have a cd drive, ive tried USB, SD card, netboot, nothing will work
[23:37] <Andreica> please give me an example
[23:37] <zenlunatic> Andreica: its' going to be something like `sleep 100 $$ shutdown -h now
[23:37] <n8tuser> Andreica-> shutdown -h -t 3600
[23:37] <dave_> i think i got the netboot settings wrong, does anyone know how to set up dhcpd.conf?
[23:37] <owh> RobertTables: I was going to tell you to open the Network Manager, but that seems to have changed. Dunno what the official way of adding a host is. Modifying /etc/hosts will work, but I'm not sure if that's the right way.
[23:37] <unr3a1> hey all
[23:38] <Andreica> thanks
[23:38] <unr3a1> I had a quick question..
[23:38] <owh> dave_: The man page is exhaustive on the subject.
[23:38] <gavagai> oh man this is sweet tvants working on wine.  :)  if anyone else has this problem just keep manually adding channels.  searching for channels doesn't seem to work.
[23:38] <unr3a1> I upgraded to 8.10, and now I cannot pull for dhcp through the command line
[23:38] <mcphail> ElecMoHwk: just tried sending to gmail from a different domain. Working fine. May be because I have static ip.
[23:38] <benovic> I've taken a bunch of .png screenshots with a simple script. now I want to get those files as a video file - what would you recommend, how to do that?
[23:38] <Out_Cold> how do i split a tar.gz into manageable pieces?
[23:38] <King> hi anyone play TA Spring Poject
[23:38] <unr3a1> I do dhclient on my wlan0 card, and it will try to pull from <IP_ADDRESS>.  anyone know why this does this now?
[23:38] <scunizi> RobertTables, owh the easiest way to edit hosts from the gui is from System>Admin>network.. unlock then click the hosts tab
[23:38] <zenlunatic> unr3a1: what do you mean "pull"?
[23:38] <thomc> owh the applet shows harddisk usage between 15-30%, if that's what you meant. I can't see a value labelled IOWAIT
[23:38] <RobertTables> owh, this is my /etc/hosts file: http://rafb.net/p/56PRdu56.html
[23:38] <owh> Out_Cold: Funnily enough, the spit command :)
[23:38] <Out_Cold> cool
[23:38] <dave_> wpi;d amypme recommend rpl as an easier choice ?
[23:39] <Out_Cold> thanks owh
[23:39] <dave_> would anyone
[23:39] <owh> thomc: It's a CPU state :)
[23:39] <Out_Cold> oh.. wait.. split?? or spit?
[23:39] <jimmacdonald> gavagai: have you done a man on ifconfig?
[23:39] <unr3a1> it will query <IP_ADDRESS> for the IP address if I do a dhclient.  before in 8.04, it queried the gateway of the router.
[23:39] <ElecMoHwk> mcphail: sorry for the delay in replies, I tried forwarding through my isp's SMTP server, and I get rejected as @mydomain != @charter.net.  While my IP is not static, it has been the same for 6+ months and is referenced in my dns directly without issue elsewhere.
[23:39] <kuro> is there a command that will tell you the (HD X,Y) numbers for each partition
[23:39] <owh> dave_: The suggestion I gave you shows examples, has comments and describes in full detail how to do it, I don't know how to make it simpler.
[23:40] <RobertTables> scunizi, And what do I add exactly?
[23:40] <zendo> no, again ff3 starts in offline mode. Dunno if it's because of some extentsion or what
[23:40] <jimmacdonald> Spet: ?
[23:40] <zenlunatic> kuro: man du
[23:40] <Randall1> how do i check what drivers i have installed for graphics cards?
[23:40] <zendo> it's really bothering
[23:40] <owh> zendo: Start it in "safe mode" and see if it does it.
[23:40] <unr3a1> did you see my response, zenlunatic?
[23:40] <RobertTables> owh, did you see the host file?
[23:40] <zenlunatic> unr3a1: no
[23:40] <zendo> owh: how should i start in safe mode?
[23:41] <zenlunatic> Randall1: maybe lspci
[23:41] <King> I'd like to know too Randalli
[23:41] <scunizi> RobertTables, not sure.. just answered the question.. I haven't really been following the entire conversation.. but if I remember you're trying to reach the ubuntu box from a windows box.. still.. I don't know.. a learned babe in the woods here.
[23:41] <zendo> owh:  I guess you are saying to me about ff3 not linux
[23:41] <owh> zendo: firefox -safe-mode
[23:41] <unr3a1> zenlunatic:  it will query <IP_ADDRESS> for an IP through dhclient.  in 8.04 it queried the gateway of the router.
[23:41] <zendo> owh: ok
[23:41] <Havsalt> rblst, that actually looks very interesting to me
[23:41] <jonathon> i know i can do this over my ip through my router and such, i have a set up with a shared folder where i put something in it and it shows up from any computer linked to only that shared folder. what i am asking is if there is a way i can do this over two dif ips. and two dif. os. one os x the other ubuntu.
[23:41] <zendo> owh: yes, still in offline mode
[23:41] <owh> scunizi: I don't have that panel in Intrepid :(
[23:42] <mcphail> ElecMoHwk: looking at the headers on the received email in gmail, it appears they do perform a lookup on the "from" domain and try to match it to the sending ip. Suspect there is no easy solution
[23:42] <thomc> owh ok I got it (!), and yes IOWAIT is pretty much maxed out
[23:42] <RobertTables> owh, what do I need to add to /etc/hosts to mkae it work?
[23:42] <scunizi> owh, let me load intrepid in vm and check.. brb
[23:42] <mynous> is there a way to tell if you nic is truelly operating as full duplex?
[23:42] <owh> RobertTables: Wait a mo for the answer from your other intrepid helper :)
[23:42] <ElecMoHwk> mcphail: my fears realized.  Looks like I need to colo and warm up my /24 again to get my domains mailing :( damnit.  Thanks for taking a look and giving me a second set of eyes.
[23:43] <RobertTables> owh, Im on hardy :-)
[23:43] <King> ne1 know why i have flashing black boxes while playing TA Spring Project
[23:43] <rblst> Havsalt: i myself use VirtualBox, tell me if you need any help setting it up
[23:43] <ElecMoHwk> Follow up question ... anyone know of any affordable co-location providers in the southern california area ?
[23:43] <owh> RobertTables: Well, do you have the panel that scunizi suggested?
[23:43] <Randall1> So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode?
[23:43] <ElecMoHwk> :) just incase.  rhetorical question I guess.  Thanks again McPhail sir.
[23:44] <RobertTables> yes, but not sure what values..
[23:44] <RobertTables> owh, yes, but not sure what values..
[23:44] <Havsalt> rblst, yes. think im gonna do a format here first, clean up every disk
[23:44] <RobertTables> owh, static ip - hostname?
[23:44] <Po-mas> heya, i'm having some trouble getting my laptop internal bluetooth working. Can anyone help me?
[23:44] <mcphail> ElecMoHwk: why not use a valid "reply-to" in your emails and send from your isp domain?
[23:45] <scunizi> owh, wow.. looks like vbox doesn't like 2 vm's running at the same time.. it went nuts when loading intrepid.. closed win and loading ibex now propertly
[23:45] <owh> RobertTables: Yup.
[23:45] <ElecMoHwk> Question: can anyone recommed a program for sharing a directory as an iTunes playlist off of an ubuntu box, so that windows boxes running iTunes can play from it?
[23:45] <tCzern> I just finished compiling a program, how can I find it in Gnome?
[23:45] <owh> scunizi: I've been using qemu - vbox needed way too many things installed :(
[23:45] <RobertTables> owh, I dont understand, how will this enable windows to see it? and do i need to restart any services?
[23:45] <SpaceCow567> Request: needs help w/ gunroar pkg
[23:45] <ElecMoHwk> mcphail: because I do not want to email business contacts from<EMAIL_ADDRESS>... I would like to send them from @mydomain.com
[23:46] <kuro> How can i copy a partition to another of a smaller size
[23:46] <owh> RobertTables: Hold on, you are trying to get from Windows to Ubuntu, or from Ubuntu to Windows? I thought the latter...
[23:46] <ElecMoHwk> kuro: cp -R * ?
[23:47] <RobertTables> nope, I can access my ubuntu box only by ip from windows, what I want to do is from windows be able to access it by hostname..
[23:47] <owh> RobertTables: Ahh.
[23:47] <rblst> tCzern: if you compile a program, it doesn't show up in gnome
[23:47] <unr3a1> so does anyone have any clue as to what may be causing the command line to be unable to connect to a wireless network?
[23:47] <owh> scunizi: You can stop looking, we're solving the wrong thing :)
[23:47] <mcphail> ElecMoHwk: with regards to your new question, maybe gnump3d? Not sure if it integrates well with itunes
[23:47] <owh> RobertTables: Are there other servers on your network?
[23:48] <scunizi> owh, RobertTables looks like network manager aka "Network" in the Admin part is no installed.. ok.. got it.. yep .. Win to ubuntu
[23:48] <guest> hi
[23:48] <thomc> is there a way to reduce iowait?
[23:48] <RobertTables> owh, so say fto access my webserver I can point broswer to http://myhostname instead of http://ipaddressofubuntubox
[23:48] <qhartman> ElecMoHwk: you can use a number of things for that. Rhythbox will do it, if you want something more server-y firefly is a good choice
[23:48] <mindrape> thomc - yes... type in yes yes
[23:48] <RobertTables> owh, no other servers, small home setup
[23:48] <kuro> ElecMoHwk: will that carry over everything and keep all the permissions
[23:48] <NotDell> I'm looking for Windows Server chatroom, anybody?
[23:49] <RobertTables> owh scunizi , you get me?
[23:49] <mindrape> NotDell: I think you'll be hard pressed to find Windows support on an opensource developers IRC network.
[23:49] <ElecMoHwk> kuro: no, it will put everything in permissions for the user copying the files.  Not sure how to preserve own/grp/perm, sorry.
[23:49] <thomc> mindrape ?
[23:49] <Andreica> when i'm listening music, pidgin don't sounds anything. how to correct it?
[23:49] <SpaceCow567> Requesting help for Gunroar Package
[23:49] <ElecMoHwk> qhartman: define server-y ... ubuntu box is cmd line only, no desktop so, it qualifies as a server, yes.
[23:49] <Randall1> So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? anyone know how to fix this?
[23:49] <kuro> Any idea how to use dd to copy but set it to copy to a smaller partition
[23:50] <kuro> I used dd to copy and because it was bigger the file system became corrupt
[23:50] <scunizi> RobertTables, well two things.. if you also want access from outside the lan then look into dydns or a similar service.. be aware that your ISP probably blocks port 80 so you'll have to change that in apache2.  As for doing it from inside the lan.. you got me.. no idea.
[23:50] <loveonfull> unable to install midi buntu repos, gives me this error    E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[23:50] <loveonfull> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[23:51] <Bynw> help! i just got home and moved my mouse to turn off my screensaver ... all i see is my wallpaper no panels or icons on the desktop (GNOME)
[23:51] <mneptok> loveonfull: is another process using it?
[23:51] <NotDell> mindrape: ##windows-server ;)
[23:51] <owh> loveonfull: You probably have synaptic, add/remove programmes, update manager running
[23:51] <scunizi> RobertTables, maybe changing the hosts table in windows to reflect your internal ip of the server and the port number with an alias of "whatever" you want
[23:51] <lorenzo> hi, i have installed kde but i am still shown gnome icons when browsing folders. should i remove the gnome icons, or will that mess up my gnome session? thanks
[23:51] <mcphail> kuro: dd cannot shrink partitions. You _can_ pipe the output through gzip, though
[23:52] <RobertTables> scunizi, two machines arebeside me :-) just want to refer to the ubuntu box by hostname instead of ip! :-)
[23:52] <owh> RobertTables: Well windows has a hosts file too :)
[23:52] <_Zeus_> does anyone know the options needed for mknod to recreate /dev/null?
[23:52] <Andreica> loveonfull: are you using in this time any sinaptic? usually it happens when you are trying to use 2 synaptic in the same time
[23:52] <rahduke> can someone help me please, since i've upgraded to 8.10 I can't access my USB drives (G1 phone and 8 gig USB thumbdriver)
[23:52] <loveonfull> I logged out and came back but still the same
[23:52] <rahduke> Ubuntu recognizes them but nautilus wont open them
[23:52] <SpaceCow567> Having trouble with Gunroar package, Help please?
[23:52] <Andreica> when i'm listening music, pidgin don't sounds anything. how to correct it?
[23:53] <mrkris> Hiya, having some issues with ffmpeg, trying to transcode an avi to flv, but I get an error that its an unsupported input format
[23:53] <scunizi> RobertTables, that's why I originally suggested ##windows because I think it's something you need to change in the windows setup to recognize the name and where it links to.. does that make sense to you owh or am I off base here?
[23:53] <Randall1> So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode?
[23:53] <mneptok> !repeat > Andreica
[23:53] <owh> RobertTables: scunizi, the real problem is that Windows isn't being populated properly by Samba, IIRC, there is a samba.conf setting to act as the browse master. You can then point windows at the IP of the machine to do WINS lookups and you can also tell windows to use the DNS to resolve windows names.
[23:54] <DoYouKnow> how do I get the latest development version/sources for the linux kernel on ubuntu?
[23:54] <SpaceCow567> Requesting help with Gunroar package?
[23:55] <RobertTables> owh, Where do you start with that!
[23:55] <RobertTables> t:-)
[23:55] <porter1> Does anyone have an idea about why I can't change my DNS settings in intrepid with network-manager?
[23:55] <owh> RobertTables: I'd open up the Windows network properties and point the WINS server setting at the IP of your server and see what happens.
[23:55] <porter1> I'm getting the most ominous message when I try to.
[23:56] <porter1> And it seems as though others are having similar problems.
[23:56] <Andreica> when music is playing, pidgin don't sing anything. how to make it announce me when i receive a message and i'm listening to music?
[23:56] <scient> how do i get the uuid of a partition again?
[23:56] <Bynw> I've lost my desktop (GNOME) Ubuntu 8.10 ... only see my wallpaper no panels or icons
[23:57] <scunizi> owh, I wasn't aware he's just trying to share a folder or files.. he had mentioned server so I thought "wiki" , test web page etc..
[23:57] <owh> scunizi: Heh :)
[23:57] <RobertTables> owh, Yayyyy! it works!
[23:57] <lwizardl> has anyone here configured a Linux cash register (point of sale) setup?
[23:57] <scient> bynw, if it doesnt fix itsself you can kill pretty much everything you have open and restart your X with ctrl-alt-backspace
[23:57] <owh> RobertTables: Excellent.
[23:58] <dasginganinja> Hi, I'm having  troubles getting  my ATI radeon x850xt to work after I enable the fglrx driver via the hardware drivers.  I have to go into rescue mode and run xfix then resume boot to get it back to normal.  Can somebody help me get 3d enabled on my Intrepid(8.10) install?  I desperately need to program for my opengl class and cannot until this is fixed.  Thanks in advance!
[23:58] <tCzern> how can I change from my desktop to the /usr directory?
[23:58] <porter1> Anyone have any idea if there are better replacements for network-manager? it is a total mess of a program.
[23:58] <rahduke> can someone help me please, since i've upgraded to 8.10 I can't access my USB drives (G1 phone and 8 gig USB thumbdrive)
[23:58] <mindrape> porter1 - I use the command line...
[23:59] <dasginganinja> tCzern:  cd /usr
[23:59] <rahduke> noone here ever helps me

[23:59] <xubuser> Hello Poeple
[23:59] <rahduke> you guys are a bunch of snobs
[23:59] <Bynw> scient, the keyboard doesnt seem to function but its connected ... only the mouse works (i see the pointer and can move it). anything i do on the keyboard doesnt do anything
[23:59] <Randall1> So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode?
[23:59] <scient> thats for lwizardl i have never used it or heard of it
[23:59] <neeto> porter1: I agree, nasty program. I use the command line as well.
[23:59] <ironfroggy_> is there any reason an init.d script has to be an sh script?
[23:59] <tCzern> hhm, tried that ... brb ..
[23:59] <mindrape> rahduke: lol... uhmmmm.... do they show up in dmesg?
[23:59] <rahduke> i dont know what that is
[23:59] <mindrape> rahduke - when you lspci do you see them?
[23:59] <xubuser> anybody know if XFCE compositor is in addition to X Server compositor? Or should we run both?
[23:59] <mindrape> rahduke: pull up a commandline and type dmesg
[23:59] <RobertTables> owh, 1 more question though.. you see  the smb.conf.. there are settings in there for WINS, see here: http://rafb.net/p/5OABrO21.html
[23:59] <scient> bynw, if you know whats causing it use ctrl-alt-f1 to get a terminal, but other wise use ctrl-alt-backspace
