[00:00] <Rhorse> keystr0k, only for Winduhs ver: 'when in Rome...'
[00:00] <NekroJakub> Oh LAWL I experienced that in Windows, so I'm surprised you said it pwns so much
[00:00] <NekroJakub> But now I see, free in Linux
[00:00] <eitreach> jrib: Pardon. :)
[00:00] <shredder12> buntoow: when i ran locate RTL81 it showed nothing..
[00:01] <buntoow> shredder12--> do not do that, i told you which dir to look at.. filenames normally are lowercase
[00:01] <shredder12> kk..
[00:01] <designerman> how can I install ubuntu of an old live cd?
[00:01] <Miesco> Is there any good video editing software?
[00:01] <keystr0k> Has anyone had problems with Wireless on Ibex since the latest sting upgrades?
[00:01] <keystr0k> My SSH connections freeze up for 10-20 seconds, every 10-20 seconds...
[00:02] <Rhorse> actually 29.99 for Xchat isn't too bad, only like one month's subscribtion to Norton AV!
[00:02] <Reilithion> Why does X load modules that I don't have specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[00:02] <buntoow> designerman--> same steps, you boot from it
[00:02] <NekroJakub> designerman: Old or new, you should be able to boot up using it and follow the installation process
[00:02] <keystr0k> Rhorse, Windows... man o man. I just saw their latest commercial... I'm a PC...  I hate that they imply that
[00:03] <kruger> hi all
[00:03] <shredder12> buntoow: there is no directory of such name or anywhere near that name here..
[00:03] <buntoow> bobbiem--> you loaded the flash and similar plugins like i had?
[00:03] <shredder12> buntoow: that directory only has subdirectories
[00:04] <kruger> i have a quiestion , a frend of mine wonts to install ubuntu on EasyNote MX61 series , a packard bell , sombody tryed and its working ?
[00:04] <buntoow> shredder12--> in the old one?
[00:04] <shredder12> and no file..
[00:04] <buntoow> shredder12--> well yah i has subdirs, but the name kind of clue you in
[00:04] <palomer> hmm
[00:04] <palomer> did anyone translate my small text?
[00:04] <bobbiem> buntoow, i dont understand
[00:04] <palomer> I can't scroll back
[00:04] <palomer> where are the logs:O
[00:05] <shredder12> buntoow: no the directories are same for both of them..
[00:05] <designerman> NekroJakub: I've booted into a live cd... I don't know how to install it from this enviroment though
[00:05] <buntoow> bobbiem--> i could not remember if you were the one have the missing plugins
[00:05] <designerman> I don't have an installation option in boot, just live mode
[00:05] <buntoow> shredder12--> exactly the same?
[00:05] <NekroJakub> What I miss from KDE is a built-in wallpaper and theme downloader...
[00:05] <shredder12> buntoow: yes,,i listed both of their contents and they are exactly same..
[00:05] <NekroJakub> designerman: Don't you have any documentation on the Live CD? There's got to be something...
[00:06] <keystr0k> NekroJakub, I agree with that... It's really awful. My boss owns all Apple stuff... breaks all of the time, and he STILL swears by Mac... Can't understand why I bought a Thinkpad. They seem a HELL of a lot more reliable.
[00:06] <shredder12> clear
[00:06] <buntoow> shredder12--> and you dont seen anywhere the rtl??
[00:06] <designerman> NekroJakub: yeh been looking but can't turn up anything
[00:06] <previd> hi
[00:06] <designerman> NekroJakub: this is warty version
[00:06] <bobbiem> buntoow, yes i am trying to play my games on pogo and it said i needed java, i got some help, thought everything was good, then i get applet game death
[00:07] <buntoow> shredder12--> for example in mine, i use tulip, but the subdir is decnet..
[00:07] <NekroJakub> designerman: Okay, I don't even KNOW that version, so I don't think I can help you...
[00:07] <shredder12> buntoow: ok..then let me check that way..
[00:07] <buntoow> bobbiem--> i have pasted for you the plugins i had, so see if you can have similar to mine
[00:07] <designerman> NekroJakub: it's oldschool man
[00:08] <shredder12> buntoow: well let me tell you that both of these directories have quite a bit of size difference..old one is only 6.1 Mb and the new one is 8.3 Mb
[00:08] <linux02> how can i find out what video card my computer has in ubuntu?
[00:08] <billybigrigger> linux02, try lspci
[00:08] <fosco__> linux02: lspci | grep -i vga
[00:08] <NekroJakub> designerman: I can imagine, but still, OLD I don't like very much... >_<
[00:08] <buntoow> shredder12--> also look here  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/
[00:09] <designerman> NekroJakub: ahh well just a bit of saturday night fun
[00:09] <shredder12> kk
[00:09] <Hilton> Hey all. I'm setting up a young-child-proof account on my Ubuntu install, but it needs to have no password. I've done some searches with Google, but none of the options presented worked (perhaps because they were from 2005). How can I set a blank password on an account?
[00:09] <bobbiem> buntoow, where do i find the plugins you pasted?
[00:09] <kruger> i have a quiestion , a frend of mine wonts to install ubuntu on EasyNote MX61 series , a packard bell , sombody tryed and its working ?
[00:09] <madguy> I'm having problems with refresh in text mode, using gforce...
[00:09] <kruger> i have a quiestion , a frend of mine wonts to install ubuntu on EasyNote MX61 series , a packard bell , sombody tryed and its working ?

[00:09] <buntoow> bobbiem--> you were not paying attention yesterday

[00:09] <buntoow> !repeat | kruger
[00:10] <kev_> Why cant you change the uslash to something custom for 8.10?
[00:10] <hubar> Does anyone get monolight working?'
[00:10] <KDesk> I have read about file systems for flash memories, which is a good one that I can use?
[00:10] <sergiu> !x > sergiu
[00:10] <Reilithion> Xorg starts fine and I can use my computer more or less normally the first time I boot up.  If I log out, however, Xorg stops working.  I checked the log files and under the VESA module, it says "(EE) No devices detected."
[00:10] <shredder12> buntoow: i have a file name r8168 in the old one i.e. the one i am currently using..
[00:10] <fosco__> kev_: yes you can, try with startupmanager
[00:10] <NekroJakub> Compiz-Fusion works wonderful on Ubuntu! This was a right choice. Now I just need to back up some Windows data and risk making a new partition...
[00:10] <sergiu> !x > LeNsTR
[00:11] <shredder12> buntoow: and there is no such file in the  new one..
[00:11] <kev_> I have and the screen is messed up during boot with all kinds of colors..
[00:11] <shredder12> buntoow: i am talking about the same directories..
[00:11] <kev_> i have a few .so i've tried
[00:11] <buntoow> shredder12--> there yah go, now see if you can copy it over and see if it works
[00:11] <linux02> do you know if compiz-fusion works with ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01)??
[00:11] <KDesk> how can I say to apt to install a package from a repo, and not from other repo?
[00:11] <shredder12> ok..
[00:11] <shredder12> let me try..
[00:11] <kruger> ubottu , thnx for the help ;)
[00:11] <buntoow> KDesk--> they should all be the same versions eh?
[00:11] <md22> do you guys use windows for anything ?
[00:12] <Pizarro> Hi everyone

[00:12] <md22> buntoow:haha
[00:12] <buntoow> !return | kev_
[00:12] <KDesk> buntoow: no, I will install  wine from the ubunut repo, and not from the official repo.
[00:12] <Pizarro> I installed Ubuntu Desktop 64bits Intrepid, but I can't make a basic VPN connection to work with networkmanager and pptp, can anyone give me a hand?
[00:12] <shredder12> buntoow: well i will have to restart and check it .. cya in a few min..
[00:12] <bobbiem> buntoow, if i remembered i would do it!
[00:12] <buntoow> KDesk--> okay, try it
[00:13] <canthony> Pizarro, there is a bug in the pptp VPN for network manager
[00:13] <canthony> Pizarro, you need to add the PPA for the netowrkmanager team
[00:13] <Pizarro> canthony, what? are you serious?
[00:13] <linux02> fosco__: do you know if compiz-fusion works with ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01)??
[00:13] <clayg> how do you adjust sound volume in ubuntu?
[00:13] <buntoow> bobbiem--> well, you have to wait, yesterday you seemed to ignore what we try to recommend to you
[00:13] <canthony> Pizarro, are you using pptp
[00:13] <Pizarro> canthony, How can I do that? I am pretty noob
[00:13] <meta> Anyone have vpn problem with Ubuntu 8.10. Until i install this version i can't connect to my job (Windows PPTP connection) Thank You!
[00:13] <Pizarro> canthony, yes I am
[00:13] <NekroJakub> Okay people, I'm a gamer but I'm in love with Linux. How can I make my games work on Linux? I heard of Wine, I heard of a Virtual Machine, but the first is not very compatible, and the second I hear uses only a set amount of RAM...
[00:13] <fosco__> linux02: not sure, just install compiz and execute compiz --replace in a terminal
[00:13] <KDesk> buntoow: I should try what?
[00:14] <fosco__> if this fails execute metacity --replace
[00:14] <buntoow> meta--> see canthony message
[00:14] <canthony> Pizarro, does it keep complaining that there are no "secrets"
[00:14] <Pizarro> meta, I am having the same issue
[00:14] <buntoow> KDesk--> loading from ubuntu and not from wine repository?
[00:14] <Pizarro> canthony, I overame that, now I am at the point of "VPN connection FAILED" message
[00:14] <buntoow> KDesk-->i mis-read, load it from whichever, they ought to be the same eh?
[00:15] <clayg> how do you adjust sound volume in ubuntu?
[00:15] <NekroJakub> Hover over the speaker icon and scroll with the mouse, clayg
[00:15] <clayg> NekroJakub, i do not have that icon, i thnk i took it off previously
[00:15] <clayg> NekroJakub, how do i get it back?
[00:16] <canthony> meta and Pizarro, go to System -> Administration ->Software Sources, then go to 3-rd party software, add this : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu intrepid main
[00:16] <NekroJakub> clayg: Try right clicking the panel and then add
[00:16] <Pizarro> canthony, ok,
[00:16] <Bowtrik> If only my computer could make scrambled eggs now.
[00:16] <goat|lappy> but can it blend?
[00:16] <KDesk> buntoow: I know I can remove the wine repo from source.list, but I think there should be a way to tell apt to download the package from a specific repo, do you know if that exists?
[00:17] <CoJaBo-Eee> QRZ: Thanks, looks like that is exactly what I'm looking for. Know of any good tutorials for using it, or setting up RAID 5?
[00:17] <Pizarro> canthony, done and updated
[00:17] <NekroJakub> clayg: Sound control is there
[00:17] <clayg> NekroJakub,are you certain?
[00:17] <clayg> NekroJakub, i see it
[00:17] <NekroJakub> Yes, right click the upper panel, click add to panel
[00:17] <canthony> meta and Pizarro, go to System -> Administration ->Update Manager
[00:18] <clayg> NekroJakub, thanks man that was kiling me
[00:18] <buntoow> KDesk--> i guess you can try to modify that sources.list and put the repo url you are interested in, but you may get redirected anyways..try it
[00:18] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: I've got some scripts that make my life easier.  They monitor my raid and send me e-mail if any anomalies come up.
[00:18] <NekroJakub> NekroJakub: I'm thankful that I could help, so np.
[00:18] <NekroJakub> Wait wtf
[00:18] <bobbiem> buntoow, i found what you pasted. now what do i do with it?
[00:18] <NekroJakub> clayg: np xD
[00:18] <vitamin-carrot> good afternoon
[00:18] <Pizarro> canthony, done

[00:18] <m3ld0n> a
[00:18] <NekroJakub> Okay people, I'm a gamer but I'm in love with Linux. How can I make my games work on Linux? I heard of Wine, I heard of a Virtual Machine, but the first is not very compatible, and the second I hear uses only a set amount of RAM...
[00:19] <canthony> Pizarro, do you see packages for network manager
[00:19] <m3ld0n> ubuntu the best!!
[00:19] <canthony> Pizarro, or did you already update
[00:19] <QRZ> CoJaBo-Eee: If you want them, send me an e-mail: rob at pectol dot com
[00:19] <vitamin-carrot> NekroJakub: what kind of games you into?
[00:19] <Pizarro> canthony, I am afraid I already did this, since no new package from the updater
[00:19] <skylarS> is there a convenient way to "reboot" the video?
[00:19] <meta> i need to restart im back in 2min
[00:19] <canthony> Pizarro, you may need to click "check", im not sure i do everything from the terminal
[00:20] <Reilithion> Why would gdm or Xorg behave differently after I log out than they did the first time the computer booted up?
[00:20] <furenku> hello! my keyboard settings keep being erased every time I restart my computer. I try to set "latin american" as default; but everytime I start, the keys follow the "USA" layout
[00:20] <Pizarro> canthony, yes I clicked on "check" but I am already updated
[00:20] <NekroJakub> vitamin-carrot: I play lots of them! DMC4, DoW, Warcraft III sometimes, some Savage 2 (but that has a Linux client), Spider-Man games...
[00:20] <fosco__> skylarS: restart the X server
[00:20] <NekroJakub> That's my problem... :/
[00:20] <Hilton> Hey all. I'm setting up a young-child-proof account on my Ubuntu install, but it needs to have no password. I've done some searches with Google, but none of the options presented worked. How can I set a blank password on an account?
[00:21] <vitamin-carrot> NekroJakub: you might want to take another look at wine ... and their app list at winehq
[00:21] <TimR> here is my link to the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974860    i need to figure how I can get my 56k to work for fax only
[00:21] <vitamin-carrot> NekroJakub: there are a number of how to's on the winehg website and also try linux-gamers.net
[00:21] <NekroJakub> vitamin-carrot: You really think so? I fear compatibility issues would literally kill me, so I'm dual-booting I think... Well, I'm on Wubi right now 'cause I'm scared to partition
[00:22] <vitamin-carrot> NekroJakub: i dual boot as well
[00:22] <Mixed_--_> !mp3
[00:22] <H|V_3ala2> hi
[00:22] <Rhorse> Hilton, have you tried kidbuntu?
[00:22] <Rhorse> !kidbuntu
[00:22] <vitamin-carrot> NekroJakub: you could look into linux based games that are similar to what you already play
[00:22] <canthony> Pizarro, hmm the software in that third party source should override the ones on your machine.  check your software sources to make sure its there
[00:22] <H|V_3ala2> guys need help
[00:22] <bobbiem> buntoow, what do i have to do to install them?
[00:22] <NekroJakub> vitamin-carrot: A sad truth, ain't it? Games are only written for Windows...
[00:23] <canthony> Pizarro, i actually just did this today so i can get into my work VPN
[00:23] <H|V_3ala2> I have problem installing ubuntu on my desktop that has 2 graphic cards
[00:23] <vitamin-carrot> NekroJakub: try looking here http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php
[00:23] <Pizarro> canthony, but what I try to tell you is that I already did the step of adding those new respositeries
[00:23] <pronto> So I have a ISO of a dvd movie i backed up , whats the best way to burn to a DVD-R to play on any dvd player?
[00:23] <vitamin-carrot> the usual ID engine games and some from epic work nativly on ubuntu
[00:23] <Rhorse> Sri, Hilton kidbuntu is still in idea stage! 8 |
[00:24] <mmcji> for postfix communication do I just need to have port 25 and port 110 forwarded to my server?
[00:24] <buntoow> bobbiem--> try this link http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash#installing
[00:24] <Pizarro> however even no new packages, the system is asking me to reboot
[00:24] <canthony> Pizarro, ahh i see you already did that before i said anything?
[00:24] <vitamin-carrot> NekroJakub: I found that ut2004 has better framerates on ubuntu than on windows

[00:25] <ActionParsnip> balazsbela_: dpkg -l | grep kde4
[00:25] <H|V_3ala2> I have a prblim installin ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop that has 2 graphic cards
[00:25] <Reilithion> Hilton: Go to Computer ->system configuration -> login screen setup -> general tab.  There should be an option there for automatic login.  Could that help?
[00:25] <TimR> can anybody help me to get my 56k modem to work
[00:25] <canthony> Pizarro, ahh im not sure then, it sounds more like you should just double check all your info for your VPN connection
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> balazsbela_: i dont know how you'd go about scripting a remove coomand for that but those are the kde4 apps
[00:26] <H|V_3ala2> screen doesn't apear right after booting screen
[00:26] <Pizarro> canthony, Ok, I am going to re-boot again and I let you know
[00:26] <balazsbela_> yeah but it would be better to check their version
[00:26] <balazsbela_> I know there was a command that did that
[00:26] <balazsbela_> but too complex to remember it
[00:26] <Pizarro> rebooting..
[00:26] <canthony> Pizarro, im peacin out to a hockey game but god luck
[00:26] <LWATCDR> I just installed a new video card an ATI 3870. Ubuntu installed the right driver but now it will not see my monitor.
[00:26] <sparr> forcedeth is assigning my NIC a random MAC because (i believe, per other mailing list threads) the MAC is stored backwards.  How can I force it to use a particular MAC instead of a random MAC in this case?
[00:26] <LWATCDR> I am stuck with 640x480
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> balazsbela_: the version number is displayed in the output of my command too
[00:27] <LWATCDR> Anbody know how I can get Ubuntu to find the monitor without editing xorg?
[00:27] <canthony> on a final note does anyone know if its possible to save as docx in OO3
[00:27] <billybigrigger> LWATCDR, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i believe
[00:27] <meta> canthony, i have the same problem

[00:29] <etoD> can someone help me with the probelm that the installer says it cannot mount one of my partitions?
[00:29] <vitamin-carrot> is there such a thing as an ubuntu certified engineer?
[00:29] <Mixed_--_> how do I make it so my login manager displays the nick and all you have to do is type the password as in the kde login manaer?
[00:29] <Bowtrik> Vitamin-carrot is that a joke? XD
[00:30] <vitamin-carrot> Bowtrik: Nope
[00:30] <vitamin-carrot> Bowtrik: Novell has them
[00:30] <vitamin-carrot> Bowtrik: MS ha shtem
[00:30] <vitamin-carrot> Bowtrik: why not Ubuntu
[00:30] <vitamin-carrot> Bowtrik: ???
[00:30] <TimR> you could get linux
[00:30] <Bowtrik> Vitamin-carrot: I know what you mean. But I don't know the answer! XD
[00:30] <vitamin-carrot> Bowtrik: sigh
[00:30] <Reilithion> Hilton: I'm not even sure I put that right.  In any case, I think there's a way to allow a /blank/ password, but you would have to be certain not to allow remote logins.
[00:30] <vitamin-carrot> TimR: linux certigied?
[00:31] <TimR> yes vitamin
[00:31] <vitamin-carrot> o0o0o0o0o
[00:31] <Bowtrik> Timr: No wai.

[00:43] <linux02> i'll give it a try thanks
[00:43] <Pizza> lol 1428 users
[00:43] <Pizza> i never been to server with that many people
[00:44] <Bowtrik> Pizza: Yeah there's a lot of people.
[00:44] <ardchoille> Pizza: that many users here is typical after a new release
[00:44] <Bowtrik> Pizza: Haven't really had much luck in getting any of my own answers. XD
[00:45]  * Pizza has a friend named google
[00:45] <dulak> there was 1600+ in here the week before intrepid was released
[00:45] <dulak> it went down after release
[00:45] <scotlfs> Hi, does anyone know how to configure a SoundBlaster X-Fi? I can only find vague references on the internet
[00:45] <Pizza> i use google first
[00:45] <goat|lappy> dulak: thats common
[00:45] <the-erm> Ya but google doesn't always work when you're dealing with a problem with common words.
[00:45] <goat|lappy> dulak: same happened with hardy
[00:45] <the-erm> Or it takes a paragraph to explain the problem.
[00:46] <vanberge> so does anyone remember how to turn syntax highlighting on in vi on 8.10 ?  i edited /etc/vim/vimrc to uncomment syntax on.  but that doesnt work
[00:46] <the-erm> vanberge: is there a vim?
[00:47] <codyzapp> is there anything that plays sound from wmv files on ubuntu?
[00:47] <lordofthepigs> Hello, How can I access the advanced Compiz configuration in intrepid?
[00:47] <Bowtrik> Pizza: Google can be so confusing, with a billion results for each question
[00:47] <the-erm> I've seen vi and vim mentioned so many times together.
[00:47] <goat|lappy> the-erm: yes, vim is the gnu version of vi
[00:47] <vanberge> the-erm, i would suppose so... when i type vim it runs
[00:47] <nose> vanberge: sudo apt-get emacs
[00:47] <groken> what is a socket link in terms of file permissions?
[00:47] <vanberge> nose - psh.  neg.
[00:47] <Bowtrik> Pizza: At least here, there will only be 1400 results at the most. :D
[00:47] <vanberge> :-)
[00:47] <dulak> vim is vi improved, vi + a lot of extra stuff
[00:48] <zzl> I can't wait to try out Ubuntu 8.10~~~~~~

[00:53] <the-erm> perhaps the whole dir is missing.
[00:53] <egoflux> goat|lappy: it doesn't skip them...they sync...the ipod skips them when i try to play them
[00:53] <zzl> >	HI IM A FAGGOT

[00:57] <zzl> it's cheap looking
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> bastones: its whats under the hood
[00:57] <bastones> so should I just see if it works and if not use ndiswrapper?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> bastones: oh, if its a router it will adhere to the ISO standards so will be compatible
[00:57] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[00:58] <cmdbbq> lordofthepigs: install the compiz settings manager

[00:59] <ActionParsnip> bastones: doesnt matter what it says on the plastic casing of any adapter
[00:59] <jvargas> i already loaded bttv module but it doesnt find any channel
[00:59] <bastones> ok so shall I try to see if it'll connect first of all see if its supported and if not run that command?

[01:05] <shaytan> !language | zzl
[01:05] <nintendork32> slurpee: for an insta;; i believe you use "sudo apt-get install geany"
[01:05] <aLeSD> hi all
[01:05] <slurpee> shaytan, sudo aptitude install samba sambaclient smbfs    mount -t smb //192.168.1.*/windowdir /mnt/linuxdir
[01:05] <jmks> 呵呵

[01:06] <ActionParsnip> angelo: d'oh ;)
[01:06] <Sajuta> !chinese | jmks
[01:06] <the-erm> then again it might be a little more advanced than you need.
[01:06] <slurpee> shaytan,  that should get in you in the right direction?
[01:06] <shaytan> slurpee what is that command for?
[01:06] <slurpee> that would mount a directory on a windows xp machine on a linux box

[01:08] <jin> cmdbbq, found it :)
[01:08] <angelo> ActionParsnip, the share is valid but cant seem to see it ?  Hmmmmm
[01:09] <cmdbbq> try editing your menu by right clicking and selecting edit menu, it may just not be listed
[01:09] <dulak> angelo: to mount a share you'd do mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mount/point/here
[01:09] <cmdbbq> jin cool
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> angelo: no, you paste it in nautilus / konqueror / whatever and it will browse to the location
[01:09] <shaytan> i have a probl with taskbar i can't find it it crashed???

[01:15] <egoflux> goat|lappy, all i did was change the tag version to: none on itunes...
[01:15] <goat|lappy> egoflux: nice
[01:15] <dulak> angelo: and if you do nmblookup gx280 does it return an ip?

[01:18] <EvolutionXtinct> nickrud cuz for some reason i like to see the status
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> hubar: np man
[01:18] <Gnea> EvolutionXtinct: what driver did you use to mount it with?
[01:18] <EvolutionXtinct> when i see a blank line in CLI it makes me go nutz
[01:18] <EvolutionXtinct> ntfs-3g
[01:18] <PeskyJ> in "open with other application" I used to get apps that had registered that file type at the top (which makes sense as they are most relevant), then a separator, then other apps, now I just get other apps, and no "always use this app" option, what has happened?
[01:18] <mcphail> EvolutionXtinct: nautilus is prone to dying when transferring
[01:19] <EvolutionXtinct> is it?
[01:19] <Gnea> EvolutionXtinct: should be fine then... must be something else... can you pastebin the output of your dmesg command please?
[01:19] <mcphail> EvolutionXtinct: i think it may be "fixed" in current release. Check the GNOME release notes
[01:19] <nickrud> EvolutionXtinct, you could use cp --verbose
[01:19] <EvolutionXtinct> cp --verbose !?!?!?! i didn't know cp had that option
[01:19] <EvolutionXtinct> DOH
[01:19] <angelo> dulak, got the following error......wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //<IP_ADDRESS>/linux,       missing codepage or helper program, or other error       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
[01:20] <EvolutionXtinct> sorry guys i have to run for a bit but ya.... i'll try cp --verbose haha
[01:20] <dulak> angelo: what version of ubuntu is it?
[01:20]  * EvolutionXtinct is still a *nix n00b
[01:20] <Gnea> EvolutionXtinct: if all else fails, man cp or man <anycommand> to get a better idea of what options those commands have :)
[01:20] <angelo> dulak, 8.10
[01:20] <dulak> angelo: it's acting like it doesn't have the /sbin/mount.smbfs file
[01:20] <nickrud> EvolutionXtinct, didn't know for sure if there was an option for that:  man cp  was my goto guy
[01:20] <mcphail> EvolutionXtinct: learn to love rsync ;)

[01:21] <dulak> angelo: mmmm my 8.10 doesn't have it either but I can mount samba shares
[01:21] <angelo> dulak, so I need to unpack or mount a package for  /sbin/mount.smbfs file ?
[01:21] <zzl> anyone know any excellent website for HD ubuntu wallpapers???
[01:21] <dulak> angelo: hold on I'm verifying
[01:21] <angelo> dulak, thanks
[01:21] <dulak> angelo: sudo apt-get install smbfs

[01:24] <zzl> i was laughing at that part

[01:31] <ardnew> where do I add that option
[01:32] <ardnew> I would normally do
[01:32] <step21> uman: well but that has nothing to do with wine ... how many hard drives/optical drives do you have?
[01:32] <ardnew> modprobe snd_hda_intel model=3stack
[01:32] <xian> hi, i compiled a kernel from kernel.org for x86_64, but somehow the resulting image is called "linux-xenu-<IP_ADDRESS>".. why is that? why isn't it called "linux-image...."?
[01:32] <mankash> how to give +x right for a file to a user
[01:32] <ardnew> but model=3stack isn't being passed
[01:32] <nickrud> ardnew, you'd add a file to /etc/modprobe.d with the right option in it
[01:32] <Gnea> ardnew: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[01:33]  * nickrud never alters ubuntu provided config files if there's any other option, and *.d provides it nicely
[01:33] <burkesbythebay> Can anyone hep I have Mounted a ext3 partition in my fstab and it is displaying on the desktop.  However i cant write to it.  But if i got to /media/sda3 i can.  How can i write to the drive on the desktop
[01:33] <ardnew> Gnea: thanks
[01:33] <mankash> how to give +x right for a file to a user
[01:33] <usser> mankash, sudo chmod o+x filename
[01:33] <nickrud> mankash, just one user, or all users?
[01:34] <mankash> 1 user
[01:34] <lakis1982> do u know how can i uninstall openoffice 3 ???
[01:34] <Sajuta> burkesbythebay: Did you give it rw or ro access in fstab?
[01:34] <goat|lappy> mankash: is that user the owner of the file?
[01:34] <mankash> yep
[01:34] <robert__> lakis1982 go to 'applications' add or remove
[01:34] <nickrud> mankash, then you'd need to either write a wrapper script only that person can run, or learn access control lists ;)
[01:34] <goat|lappy> mankash: then usser's suggestion is right
[01:34] <pepperjack> mankash, chmod +x file.txt.  the long answer is to do a ls -l and look in left column --- --- and --- is owner group other so the owner position can be 0-7 since its binary and you have three positions - - and -  so you can chmod 777 file.txt etc
[01:34] <mankash> i logged in with that user
[01:35] <goat|lappy> sudo chmod +x filename
[01:35] <SegFaultAX> mankash: create a new group, put that user in it, then chown it to that users group, then chmod the group to g+x
[01:35] <`SOL> Anyone have a minute to pastebin their /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm and /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-colors ? I merged an .Xresources file I found online and now xterm is ugly as fuck. =/

[01:36] <nickrud> SegFaultAX's is the simplest, but I hate groups
[01:36] <pepperjack> mankash, i think that was the most confusing post i have ever made in #ubuntu apologies :)
[01:36] <robert__> lakis try synaptic package manager
[01:36] <DoYouKnow> Sweetandy, I thought that I read i386 somewhere - possibly in the title for the x86 burned cd
[01:36] <SegFaultAX> nickrud: why do you hate groups? they are simple and elegant
[01:37] <mcphail> Why create a group? He only wants +x for the file owner...
[01:37] <kkojiband> hi, my ubuntu can't find ATI Radeon HD 3850 graphic device, how can i use this?
[01:37] <goat|lappy> usser: thanks
[01:37] <adam7> `SOL: can you just delete the two files and reinstall the package that provides them?
[01:37] <nickrud> SegFaultAX, I have to remember to recreate them if I do fresh installs for one. And make sure I give it the same group number. acl's live on the disk
[01:37] <SegFaultAX> mcphail: well i started typing my response before he said that bit. regardless, it will work in any case
[01:38] <`SOL> adam7: I could, but I'm not sure what else it may affect.
[01:38] <SegFaultAX> nickrud: thats why SA's create standard group tables so they can duplicate access control
[01:38] <nickrud> hahah. too organized.
[01:39] <SegFaultAX> nickrud: or just create your own skeleton group file, either way thats part of system config that SAs do all the time
[01:39] <nickrud> SegFaultAX, I bet you even take notes ;p
[01:40] <SegFaultAX> nickrud: actually i just write config scripts to do it all for me, so i dont have to remember the stupid details
[01:40] <MaT-dg> lately my intrepid slows down very hard because some app is eating my cpu at random times, how can I determine wich app is misbehaving?

[01:41] <speedcore> is there any good tool to unrar files?
[01:41] <SegFaultAX> nickrud: i disagree, i found your response creative, if a bit convoluted ;D
[01:41] <`SOL> speedcore: unrar ;)
[01:41] <goat|lappy> speedcore: file-roller?
[01:41] <lakis1982> do u know how can i install the any package with many plugins for audio and video so that i can play most videos and audio ? any codec pack ?
[01:41] <speedcore> is that in the repo?

[01:42] <linoj> so its a real old machine, i cant remember how to log in, what do it do next? boot from cd's? i just want to see whats on the hard drive, otherwise dont care if i bash the system
[01:42] <nickrud> SegFaultAX, the reason I learned acl's was maintaining writability in shared folders: g+s and the acl made sure it was writeable by all in the group. Didn't have to worry about umasks that way. If you have a simpler solution I'm all ears
[01:43] <goat|lappy> linoj: yes, boot from cd, mount the /  and look at the username through /etc/passwd
[01:43] <Sajuta> burkesbythebay: Well, did you edit the fstab yourself to mount that device?
[01:43] <linoj> thx
[01:43] <pepperjack> linoj, if its linux and using grub just boot it up and hit e to edit grub entry then e again after selecting kernel line then add  init=/bin/sh to the end of kernel line and hit b to boot.  you can then reset the password on the box in root shell

[01:45] <pepperjack> chrziz, isnt ophcrack a linux distro?
[01:45] <ardchoille> chrziz: What does that app do?
[01:46] <SegFaultAX> rainbow tables for LM hashes
[01:46] <JOptionPaint> anyone from malaysia??
[01:46] <SegFaultAX> essentially cracks windows passwords based on pre generated hash tables
[01:46] <xian> how do i tell update-initramfs to create an initrd-image for a custom kernel?
[01:47] <chrziz> pepperjack: yes indeed it is a distro, i was wondering if they had an equivalent for linux systems
[01:47] <chrziz> ardchoille: Ophcrack cracks all the passwords for the users on a system, it runs of a live cd
[01:47] <SegFaultAX> chrziz: actually i dont think it is. there is a livecd with it installed and configured, but the distro itself is based on knoppix i believe
[01:47] <JOptionPaint> but is it works on vista?

[02:02] <killerbyte> hello
[02:02] <HorizonXP> hey, how do I bind my play/pause keys to use mpc to control mpd instead?
[02:02] <angelo> goat|lappy, any ideas?
[02:03] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know of any software for Linux that can make headphones sound more like speakers?
[02:03] <angelo> usser, did u see nmy mount paste?
[02:04] <crdlb> HorizonXP: if you run the sonata mpd client, it can automatically grab the gnome media keys (other clients might work too)
[02:05] <chattterAtUbuntu> hey, new monitor on system & ubuntu's driving monitor higher than monitor can read/take, so i cant see anything.
[02:05] <chattterAtUbuntu> is there an easy way i can get it to reprobe the monitor from command line, booting recovery mode?
[02:05] <chattterAtUbuntu> if not, then is there a config file i could edit to drop refresh rate?
[02:05] <HorizonXP> crdlb: so i have to keep sonata running?
[02:05] <goat|lappy> angelo: i haven't been following your troubleshooting, but it seems that you have the network drive mounted,  whether you have privileges to access that ip /linux is another question
[02:05] <angelo> goat|lappy, so what u recommend I do?
[02:05] <crdlb> HorizonXP: there might also be an mpd client which just grabs the media keys, but if not, you would need to keep sonata running
[02:06] <goat|lappy> what is the smb mount your trying to access, a linux system or windows?
[02:06] <zabbadapp> How to get a delay for the "Focus follow mouse"? Some apps can't handle it.

[02:06] <shaytan666> how do i mount a driver using samba?
[02:07] <goat|lappy> shaytan666: what are you trying to accomplish?
[02:07] <shaytan666> i want to open ntfs drivers
[02:07] <shaytan666> to mount them
[02:07] <goat|lappy> shaytan666: i think you mean drives not drivers
[02:07] <shaytan666> drives
[02:07] <HorizonXP> crdlb: thing is, i like using ncmpcpp for my GUI if I need it. i just want the multimedia keys to quickly pause and play
[02:07] <goat|lappy> !smbmount
[02:08] <goat|lappy> !samba
[02:08] <HorizonXP> crdlb: might try to write something in python for myself...
[02:08] <step21> shaytan666: samba has nothing to do with mounting ntfs drives
[02:08] <dulak> shaytan666: you want to mount a windows network share, or an ntfs drive installed in your computer?
[02:08] <crdlb> HorizonXP: there's no harm in using both of course ...

[02:08] <Spreadsheet> hello
[02:08] <goat|lappy> angelo: did we loose you?
[02:09] <Optimus997> Hello everyone
[02:09] <crdlb> HorizonXP: sonata is written in python, so you could try stripping out everything other than the media key grabbing if you're feeling adventurous
[02:09] <Spreadsheet> i /clear
[02:09] <angelo> goat|lappy, im here
[02:09] <goat|lappy> angelo: what is the smb mount your trying to access, a linux system or windows?
[02:09] <HorizonXP> crdlb: I know. it's just that sonata is more than i need, and i'd like to have my memory footprint minimized. and yeah, that's an idea, thanks :)
[02:10] <shaytan666> what  is samba for?
[02:10] <Spreadsheet> why does pidgin on ubuntu put freenode servers as "ubuntu servers"?
[02:10] <angelo> goat|lappy, tryong to access my winXP folder
[02:10] <Spreadsheet> i see irc.ubuntu.com
[02:10] <crdlb> Spreadsheet: because it points to irc.ubuntu.com
[02:10] <pangloss> !samba | shaytan666
[02:10] <Spreadsheet> but its really irc.freenode.net
[02:10] <crdlb> which is currently freenode, but might change at some point in the future

[02:14] <chattterAtUbuntu> click on "places" at the top of the screen
[02:14] <killerbyte> chattterAtUbuntu, are you talking to me?
[02:14] <okidoki1> install storage device manager if you need a gui for mounting devices
[02:14] <chattterAtUbuntu> the unmounted drive/partition should show as "Xgb media"

[02:15] <mgolisch> Optimus997: upgrade your autoconf version
[02:16] <Optimus997> mgolisch its already latest version
[02:16] <ardchoille> Optimus997: you on Ubuntu 6.06?
[02:16] <mgolisch> Optimus997: what version is it?
[02:16] <KarlsBerg> I have a Acer Aspire One, i dowload the madwifi-hal current version, make, make install, sudo modprobe ath_pci later add the ath_pci to te modules file, and reboot, and no.. i cannot see the interface fom iwconfig or ifconfig,
[02:16] <Optimus997> Yes i am using 6.06
[02:16] <mgolisch> it has to be  Autoconf 2.59c atleast
[02:17] <mgolisch> thats the first version that had those makros its complaining about not finding in your paste
[02:17] <mgolisch> so your version is probably older
[02:17] <Optimus997> its 2.59
[02:17] <chattterAtUbuntu> ubuntu's overdriving new monitor, so i cant see anything.
[02:17] <chattterAtUbuntu> booting in recovery mode, is there a command line command to get the sys to reprobe the monitor?
[02:17] <chattterAtUbuntu> if not, what/where config file can i manually edit refresh rate & resolution?
[02:17] <killerbyte> chattterAtUbuntu, thank you
[02:17] <chadeldridge> Anyone out there have an XPS M1710 or anyone know if its possible to monitor the fans / temp in this system.  lm-sensors does not seem to be capable but communicating with anything but the motherboard thermal.
[02:17] <killerbyte> okidoki1, i am looking for storage device manager now
[02:17] <killerbyte> okidoki1, thank you
[02:18] <Optimus997> how can i update it to 2.59c as whenever i type apt-get install autoconf it says its already in new version
[02:18] <okidoki1> KarlsBerg try this http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-11-08.tar.bz2
[02:18] <zxcfsd> hi all
[02:19] <okidoki1> compile the code
[02:19] <okidoki1> then make unload and make load
[02:19] <KarlsBerg> okidoki1, you have one aspire one?=
[02:19] <ardchoille> Optimus997: you would have to upgrade it manually, the package manager can't upgrade unless there is an update in the repos, and you're using 6.06 repos
[02:19] <mgolisch> Optimus997: compile from source? search for backports or whatever
[02:19] <KarlsBerg> and this packet is... ?
[02:19] <goat|lappy> angelo sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=<username on windows>,defaults,rw //<IP_ADDRESS>/linux /mnt/win1
[02:20]  * feng14 new
[02:20] <ardchoille> mgolisch: wouldn't compiling from source result in the same error?
[02:20] <Optimus997> Thanks everyone for help, I will try to update it now
[02:20] <KarlsBerg> mm how i can the loaded module list in the kernel

[02:21] <z0d14k> Firfox launches maximized bigger than the screen.  I can alt-tab to another app and right click to resize, but that doesn't work.  Nor does right-click to un-maxmimze.  Nor does alt-clicking and dragging to move so I can get to an edge and resize...  Any ideas?  I have killed it and restarted it, but that does nothing.
[02:21] <KarlsBerg> okidoki1,  you have one aspire one?
[02:22] <crdlb> z0d14k: using compiz, right?
[02:22] <goat|lappy> angelo: did that give you anything different?
[02:22] <okidoki1> i have acer aspire 5570z
[02:22] <w0ls0n> Hello all. Can someone here help me get my sound card working? it's an onboard and I have read the manual pages but nothing seems to be working
[02:22] <cooljeff3000> is there any way to connect multiple times to a single torrent?
[02:23] <DavidCanarias> Hi all. Can anyone help me install a tar.bz file.
[02:23] <step21> cooljeff3000: every torrent uses "multiple connections"
[02:23] <ardchoille> DavidCanarias: which app are you trying to isntall?
[02:23] <crdlb> cooljeff3000: what does that mean? you always connected to multiple peers
[02:23] <step21> so not sure what you are trying to say there
[02:23] <w0ls0n> DavidCanarias, just do tar zxvf tarball and then read the README or INSTALL file
[02:23] <crdlb> you are*
[02:23] <KarlsBerg> okidoki1,  in some guides say: disable the current ath driver in System  - hardware drivers in menu, but i open this dialog and dont see any in the list,
[02:23] <pangloss> w0ls0n: dont you need a j in there cause its a bz2?
[02:24] <KarlsBerg> hola DavidCanarias, im in tenerife :)
[02:24] <DavidCanarias> ardchoille: Im trying to update mozilla and downloaded the new version in a tarball file.
[02:24] <ardchoille> w0ls0n: but he should look in the repos to see if it's there before manually installing
[02:24] <z0d14k> crdlb: Yes, using compiz.
[02:24] <ardchoille> DavidCanarias: ok, just wanted to make sure it wasn't in the repos first
[02:24] <crdlb> z0d14k: the cause of this is "Legacy fullscreen support" in the Workarounds plugin
[02:24] <w0ls0n> well he can bunzip it then do tar zxvf
[02:25] <z0d14k> crdlb: So, just disable that and things should be happy again?
[02:25] <mcphail> pangloss: modern tar doesn't need the "j" or "z" to be specified
[02:25] <crdlb> z0d14k: if you disable that misfeature, after closing firefox, it should not open fullscreen the next time you open it
[02:25] <pangloss> mcphail: thanks for the update
[02:25] <z0d14k> crdlb: Worked.  Thanks.
[02:26] <z0d14k> crdlb++
[02:26] <G15> is there anyone here that was able to run Age of Conan successfuly on ubuntu?
[02:26] <okidoki1> KarlsBerg i didnt disabled drivers but i saw an installed driver in the list
[02:27] <KarlsBerg> okidoki1,  here no
[02:27] <okidoki1> after installing that program now there are two drivers
[02:28] <Outlander> hi, I get sound of the drums on the login screen, but after logging in I get no sound. Totem locks up when playing mp3s and vlc appears to play mp3s but no sound happens...
[02:28] <Outlander> any gotchas around sound and recent updates?
[02:29] <mgolisch> Outlander: what output plugin is used in totem?
[02:29] <euzao> !et
[02:30] <euzao> !enemyterritory
[02:30] <okidoki1> and i must say that this program unloads all previev drivers then loads its drivers
[02:30] <Guest71189> Anybody know how I can go about getting drivers for an Creative Labs Audicy soundcard?
[02:31] <Pizarro> Hi
[02:31] <adobongkangkong> should i switch to intrepid now?
[02:31] <pangloss> adobongkangkong: are you happy with 8.04?
[02:32] <sergiu> if i use ubuntu, what Os i use? Linux, unix-like?
[02:32] <sergiu> hm
[02:32] <goat|lappy> sergiu: yes, linux
[02:32] <Pizarro> I configured a PPTP VPN server in an Ubuntu Server;I can access successfully to the VPN from any Microsoft Machines, however when I try to do the same from any Ubuntu machine, I always get "VPN connection FAILED" ???? How is this possible?
[02:32] <emmajane> sorry to ask, as I'm sure it's been asked before... but where can I find the md5sum for the 8.10 iso?
[02:33] <mgolisch> Pizarro: what do you use to establish the vpn connection?
[02:33] <KarlsBerg> sergiu, linux yes, really linux is the kernel,  and ubuntu one SO that use linux as kernel, and later attach a lot of applications, as an gnome desktop, configurations scripts, and other apps developed by canonical
[02:33] <Pizarro> If the VPN server were under XP I would understand it, but the VPN server is under an Ubuntu machine!
[02:33] <Guest71189> !help?
[02:33] <Pizarro> and I am trying to connect from a Ubuntu machine too, anu ideas?
[02:33] <euzao> Kartagis, canonical dosn't develop anything
[02:34] <goat|lappy> emmajane: http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/ubuntu/intrepid/MD5SUMS

[02:34] <Pizarro> mgolisch, network-manager
[02:34] <mgolisch> Pizarro: maybe its pptp plugin just sucks?
[02:35] <Pizarro> mgolisch, aldo I tried with kvpv
[02:35] <w0ls0n> anyone here have an Asus K8U-X with sound working?
[02:35] <KarlsBerg> mm how i can see the loaded module list in the kernel
[02:35] <mgolisch> KarlsBerg: lsmod
[02:35] <dexter> is it advisable to use root account
[02:35] <KarlsBerg> ah yes!
[02:35] <goat|lappy> dexter: no
[02:35] <w0ls0n> dexter, I do, sudo sucks IMO
[02:35] <goat|lappy> !root | dexter
[02:35] <Pizarro> mgolisch, I don't know, but at the other side (Ubnutu server) I have installed POPTOP (ppptd) which is actually working fine for the microsoft machines
[02:35] <w0ls0n> dexter, sudo passwd root
[02:35] <ardchoille> !root | dexter
[02:36] <Pizarro> mgolisch, but whenever I try to establish the connection from any UBuntu machine I somehow it is not possible
[02:36] <sergiu> !paste > sergiu
[02:36] <DavidCanarias> WOlsOn: Thks for this info. Do I type in the terminal   tar zxvf tarball    nothing more¿
[02:36] <ardchoille> w0ls0n: Please don't tell others how to assign a root password, it's unsafe and unsupported
[02:36] <dexter> goat|lappy; y is it not advisable to use root account...???
[02:36] <w0ls0n> ardchoille, works fine for me
[02:36] <ardchoille> !worksforme | w0ls0n
[02:36] <Pizarro> mgolisch, is there any other tool to establish pptp connections?
[02:37] <goat|lappy> dexter: because with power comes responsibility
[02:37] <w0ls0n> I have been using root with FreeBSD for over 10 years
[02:37] <w0ls0n> please tell me why it is NOT advisable to use root
[02:37] <ardchoille> dexter: I've been using Ubuntu since 2005 and have never needed to unlock the root account, sudo can do anything you need
[02:37] <Outlander> mgolisch: how do i tell, i think it's set to alsa or auto
[02:37] <dulak> w0ls0n: you never had an "oh crap" moment as root?
[02:37] <bazhang> !noroot
[02:37] <w0ls0n> sudo = PITA
[02:37] <Pizarro> mgolisch, this will be very funy..I will be forced to use a Microsfot machine to connect remotly to an Ubuntu one!
[02:37] <dexter> goat|lappy, ardchoille; so instead can i use a user account with administration rights??
[02:37] <Outlander> mgolisch: the output plugin in totem
[02:38] <w0ls0n> I have NEVER had a problme using root. Ever.
[02:38] <goat|lappy> dexter: why?
[02:38] <ardchoille> dexter: yes, that is what sudo is for
[02:38] <dulak> w0ls0n: so you never rm -rf the wrong thing, in 10 years?
[02:38] <Nergoth> hey guys, is word "simplier" correct and can be used (I don't know english perfectly)?
[02:38] <w0ls0n> once but I had a backup
[02:38] <Outlander> audio output: stereo
[02:38] <nkei0> whats up everyone
[02:38] <goat|lappy> dexter: just be a user, and be happy.  when you cant do something because you don't have the power, use sudo
[02:39] <ardchoille> Nergoth: simpler
[02:39] <Pizarro> OK guys, any idea about my issue?
[02:39] <goat|lappy> Nergoth: more simple
[02:39] <goat|lappy> Nergoth: don't add er or est to anything with more than one syllabel
[02:39] <nintendork32> Nergoth more simple sounds grammatically correct
[02:39] <dexter> goat|lappy, ardchoille; not using sudo....wen we create a user account...we can set the priviledges to administer the sysetm......wont this be necessary though i need to experiment on my kernel
[02:40] <cuTe_ghUrL> ollla
[02:40] <Lisa1> ubuntu is not regulating the brightness of my laptop display, what can I do?
[02:40] <PeskyJ> in system monitor, sometimes one CPU goes to like 50% and the other at 0%, then if I go to processes, and sort by CPU usage, there's nothing there using more than 3%
[02:40] <ardchoille> dexter: everyone knows you have a root account and we can sit here all day trying to brute force it, we can't do that if the root account is locked
[02:40] <nintendork32> Nergoth most is like adding est to a more than one sylable word and more is lik er
[02:40] <kompulsa_dot_com> Does anyone know when the Ubuntu shutdown bug (which prevents it from shutting down properly) will be fixed?
[02:40] <cuTe_ghUrL> wuuuuuuuuuu
[02:40] <Nergoth> hmm, but you talking about simple, I'm talking about simply :)
[02:40] <okidoki1> karlsberg did this work for you
[02:40] <nkei0> Anyone here really good with wireless radio problems?  I have an Acer Aspire 1680 laptop with the intel pro wireless card inside and it's using the ipw2200 driver.  It worked fine until it updated one day and now the "kill switch" doesn't light up or do anything anymore.
[02:40] <nkei0> So, I can't get my wireless radio to turn on.
[02:40] <mgolisch> Outlander: i mean what did you select there? alsa,pulseaudio or what?
[02:40] <usser> PeskyJ, theres an option to show processes from all users, but may i suggest using command line utilities like top
[02:41] <Outlander> i dont see those in a list anywhere in totem
[02:41] <nkei0> I've already tried editing the ipw2200 to show "options led power=1" and it didn't work.
[02:41] <Outlander> tabs in preferences are general, display, audio
[02:41] <usser> nkei0, are u using hardy or intrepid?
[02:41] <Outlander> and audio only has output type with things like stereo, 5.1, ac3 passthru
[02:41] <conathan> I wonder if it uses the new rfkill linux subsystem...
[02:41] <Outlander> so i think something borked
[02:42] <rfxcasey> I need help with my xorg congige
[02:42] <conathan> (a new linux api I noticed in 2.6.28, for controlling wireless on/off)
[02:42] <PeskyJ> usser: aha.. yes it looks like Xorg is the culprit :)
[02:42] <Outlander> and i also dont think it's totem, but a more systemwide setting that has gone wrong
[02:42] <mgolisch> Outlander: hm yeah, what does pgrep pulseaudio print on the terminal?
[02:42] <conathan> not sure if it's in 2.6.27 or not
[02:42] <Outlander> ah ok
[02:42] <Outlander> doing...
[02:42] <nkei0> usser: It happened on hardy, but I upgraded to intrepid and it worked.  Then another day I did my daily update and it stopped working.
[02:42] <rfxcasey> ardchoille, are you here
[02:42] <Outlander> 9344
[02:42] <ardchoille> rfxcasey: I am :)
[02:43] <Outlander> ive also removed and reinstalled pulseaudio packages
[02:43] <Pizarro> I NEEED HELP
[02:43] <rfxcasey> hey I have a problem with my x configuration do you think you could help?
[02:43] <nkei0> usser: note I tried the option led=1 thing before on hardy and it worked but it quit after a little while hence the upgrade
[02:43] <PeskyJ> is it usual for Xorg to be using so much CPU?
[02:43] <mgolisch> Pizarro: check the syslog for more detailed error description
[02:43] <timreichhart> anybody using a fax server?
[02:43] <goat|lappy> PeskyJ: yes, xorg is a main component of your gui
[02:43] <Outlander> pulseaudio 0.9.10 appears to be installed
[02:43] <dexter> goat|lappy, ardchoille;  i m talking about a non-root account, i.e. a user account...just open users and group... and see the properties of any user account(non-root), there is a tab...called priviledges....in one of the options u get administer the system......so if i have 2 work with the kernel part and learn system administration...can i do that without checking this option
[02:44] <candive> Pizarro: just ask the question
[02:44] <rfxcasey> ardchoille, I am having a problem with my xorg config
[02:44] <KarlsBerg> okidoki1,
[02:44] <KarlsBerg> compiling
[02:44] <KarlsBerg> but i dont think..
[02:44] <KarlsBerg> i  follow 5 guides.. without result
[02:44] <timreichhart> anybody using a fax server?
[02:44] <FloodBot1> KarlsBerg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:44] <KarlsBerg> Pizarro, what you want?
[02:44] <Pizarro> A thing that I never understood is why the software in Linux don't show errors on th efly in windows or dialogs, everything is "hidden" in files and files...
[02:44] <goat|lappy> dexter: you can do that without checking the option,  you can compile and modify the kernel with sudo, even when you are not in the administrator group
[02:44] <rfxcasey> ardchoille, I am actually on a different machine because it's so screwed up
[02:45] <KarlsBerg> Pizarro,  is a spanish name, are you spanish Pizarro ?
[02:45] <Pizarro> KarlsBerg, yes I am
[02:45] <timreichhart> anybody using a fax server?
[02:45] <dexter> goat|lappy....so i can learn system administration in the same way
[02:45] <dexter> ??
[02:45] <rfxcasey> his name could have been Italian
[02:45] <nkei0> Pizarro: Most installs or whatever have a details thingie you can click on or you can watch it on the system log which is accessible from the administration tab under the system dropdown
[02:45] <Outlander> so is there any new version of pulseaudio that i can install to get around this or is there a known issue for some people
[02:45] <ardchoille> rfxcasey: What happened?
[02:45] <goat|lappy> dexter: yes,  responsible system administration includes knowing when to use your privileges
[02:45] <Outlander> it was working just sweet up until last night
[02:45] <DELTA31> i need some help
[02:46] <Outlander> i believe i did some updates
[02:46] <Pizarro> The problem I have is very weird: I set up a VPN server under Ubuntu server (POPTOP) which is working pretty good. I can establish VPN connection to it from Microsoft machines, however I can't do the same thing from Ubuntu machines using the networlmanager-pptp
[02:46] <dexter> goat|lappy; thanq......any idea how to quickly learn the kernel programmin and other system programming
[02:46] <nkei0> Yeah, here is a question... Is there anyway to undo updates?
[02:46] <KarlsBerg> Pizarro, im gaditano xD
[02:46] <KarlsBerg> pizarro sons
[02:46] <ADREAL> help me pls
[02:46] <rfxcasey> ardchoille, Well when I used to use windows I overclocked my video card, so I tried to install coolbits of the nvida driver under linux
[02:46] <DELTA31> HELP?
[02:46] <ADREAL> help
[02:46] <Guest71189> How can I write a simple script to automate the process in installing more than one package? -anybody?
[02:47] <rfxcasey> ardchoille, I had to add a line to my xorg config and all that was ok
[02:47] <Pizarro> KarlsBerg, encantado pisha!
[02:47] <r0x0r> Why the update servers are so slow ?
[02:47] <DELTA31> how can i open a run file with Administrative Privlages?
[02:47] <goat|lappy> dexter: when i first wanted to learn about he kernel, i read up on this:  http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-kernel/?S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=GR&ca=dgr-btw01LKernalAnatomy
[02:47] <r0x0r> I get 20 KB/s max
[02:47] <conathan> Pizarro: I cant help with your problem, but I have heard that OpenVPN is a better solution for a VPN server (there is a readup on poptop as to why it may be worth avoiding)
[02:47] <nkei0> r0x0r: It's probably more you than them.  I get a little over 200kb/s
[02:47] <rsvp> easy Q > after how long should a box be powered down?  (heat / component considerations)
[02:47] <Outlander> mgolisch: i found a fix on the forums which was
[02:47] <rfxcasey> but when I reboot the machine it tells me I am no longer using the nvidia xserver config
[02:48] <Outlander> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878794&highlight=pulseaudio+issue
[02:48] <DELTA31> ?
[02:48] <goat|lappy> dexter: but learning to modify it:  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/
[02:48] <mgolisch> Outlander: great
[02:48] <r0x0r> I'm connected to a Canadian mirror
[02:48] <Outlander> how do i make the fix permanent without forcing reload on boot?
[02:48] <r0x0r> so it's probably because of that
[02:48] <Outlander> actually it must happen during login? cos i hear the drums on the login screen
Here everyone has problems with ubuntu, ubuntu is shit then</troll>
[02:48] <Pizarro> conathan, Using OpenVPN I have to crear certificates each time a new client will conenct...the people in my office use random machines in their trips, I can't stay everyday sendig certificates!
[02:48] <DELTA31> any body
[02:48] <Outlander> after i login it's stuffed...until i force-reload alsa
[02:49] <rfxcasey> Before I switched to hoary I used to be able to reconfigure my xserver by using  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:49] <DELTA31> help
[02:49] <ardchoille> rfxcasey: see my PM
[02:49] <r0x0r> nkei0, how to change the archive server from Canada to USA ?
[02:49] <w0ls0n> DELTA31, NOBODY is going to help you without KNOWING what the problem IS
[02:49] <ardchoille> KarlsBerg: Please take that elsewhere
[02:49] <dexter> goat|lappy; thanq......I am actually planning to learn the kernel programming......so that I can fix bugs and submit patches....and do a college project on kernel programming
[02:49] <Outlander> mgolisch: thanks for your help :)
[02:49] <thiebaude> !language
[02:50] <conathan> Pizarro: ah, fair enough
[02:50] <nkei0> r0x0r: lol, i'm not sure :( I'm still pretty new to this, just google it, I saw a pretty good guide for it the other day but I didn't need it so I didn't remember anything
[02:50] <DELTA31> sorry i already said it, i need help running a .run file with admin privlages
[02:50] <r0x0r> ok thank you
[02:50] <goat|lappy> dexter: this could be of use:  http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/~dsw/public-files/kernel-docs/kernel-api/
[02:50] <KarlsBerg> ardchoille,  hehehe
[02:50] <conathan> Pizarro: I doubt this helps, but it uses the GRE protocol to connect from one PC to another.  I'm assuming it's probaby in ubuntu by default, but may be worth looking into
[02:50] <nkei0> r0x0r: I googled change repositories ubuntu linux intrepid to get it
[02:50] <goat|lappy> dexter: that shows kernel calls, and such,  google is your friend
[02:50] <sri> hello, I need some help debugging a problem with a wireless usb
[02:51] <Pici> DELTA31: sudo ./file.run
[02:51] <conathan> Pizarro: (by protocol, I mean it's at the same level as tcp, ipx, icmp, e.t.c)
[02:51] <DELTA31> thanx
[02:51] <sri> it fails to turn on at boot, aI have to rmmod the ehci_hcd to make it work.
[02:51] <jasuus> why does rythmnbox take a long time to extract?  I know it does a wav to flac conversion, but it still seems to take forever
[02:51] <sri> how do I get ehci_hcd to recognize my wireless dongle?
[02:51] <r0x0r> nkei0, yes I have found a guide, 10x !
[02:52] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[02:52] <r0x0r> split
[02:52] <r0x0r> wow
[02:52] <sri> apparently usb-storage doesn't work either.
[02:52] <Pizarro> conathan, but do you know what I did?: I established from the Ubuntu desktop machine a VPN connection to a MS machine (which worked) and then I opened a Desktop Remote conection to that MS machine, and from there a Opened a VPN connection to the UBnutu server machine, and Everything worked!!!!!
[02:52] <sri> it uses a zd1211rw driver apparently.
[02:52] <dexter> goat|lappy; i have been tired of searching on google....i never a proper guidance on how to start and were 2 start and how I can just pace up so that I can be ready for the programming in a short time
[02:53] <KarlsBerg> FloodBot1, remember me to Bender
[02:53] <sri> when I first log in it says: hub 7-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
[02:53] <avis> i dont seem to see the create a usb startup disk option under administration in intrepid. is there a package that needs to be installed ?
[02:53] <sri> couldn't really find anything in google that would fix this problem.
[02:53] <Pizarro> conathan, but if I try to establish the VPN connection direclty from the Ubnutu desktop machine to the Ubunutu server it just turn out in: "VPN connection failed"...and this is freaking me out
[02:54] <Pizarro> conathan, so summirizing: if I have to control the Ubuntu server via VPN, I have to connect through a XP machine XD
[02:54] <mgolisch> Pizarro: configure it properly
[02:55] <mordaunt> any ubuntu gurus in today?
[02:55] <tacone> !ask | mordaunt
[02:55] <Pizarro> mgolisch, I would like to know what is wrong with my configuration since the XP machines can perfectly conencte to the PPTP server...
[02:55] <mgolisch> Pizarro: using the same settings/parameters?
[02:56] <Pizarro> mgolisch, indeed
[02:56] <mordaunt> can you check your dmesg and let me know what's going on between these 2 time intervals?
[02:56] <mordaunt> [    0.000000] Detected 3066.923 MHz processor.
[02:56] <sri> okay, looks like nobody is around who has seen this problem.. I'll come again at some other time and ask the question.
[02:56] <mordaunt> [   13.466176] Console: colour VGA+ 80x25
[02:56] <mordaunt> 13 secs doing what exactly? o_O
[02:56] <mgolisch> anyways, check syslog, networkmanager should log stuff there
[02:56] <sri> and when there is no netsplits :D
[02:56] <DELTA31> okay, i need help opening this file because when it opens in terminal it says aborted because of Admin privliagesVBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[02:56] <Pizarro> mgolisch, in fact I am using Intrepid in the desktop machine, and there is an Official bug with the network-manager
[02:57] <Lisa1> my brightness applets do not work, they do not effect the screen brightnes, what can I do?
[02:57] <goat|lappy> mordaunt: that is the time since the kernel was loaded
[02:57] <rfxcasey> I need help with my xorg configuration
[02:57] <goat|lappy> mordaunt: in seconds
[02:57] <Pizarro> mgolisch, but I cant connect from Hardy either
[02:57] <DELTA31>  okay, i need help opening this file because when it opens in terminal it says aborted because of Admin privliages VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[02:57] <conathan> Pizarro: *sorry for the delay*, unfortunately, hard to diagnose.  All I know was all my fun getting winXP to connect to a VPN server at work through my router.
[02:57] <mordaunt> goat|lappy: yea.. but why is there a 13 sec gap.. between those two lines in dmesg.. and it seems all that happened was that the console was detected
[02:58] <audax_> lol
[02:58] <DELTA31>  okay, i need help opening this file because when it opens in terminal it says aborted because of Admin privliages VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run? any body
[02:59] <metbsd> does anyone use webcam and microphone to do web conference with other people here?
[02:59] <Pizarro> conathan, no problem...It was hard for me to set up the server but now works pretty good with any version of MS machines..unfortunatly I still need to figure out wtf is going on with the Ubunutu clients..
[03:00] <Sephiroth> I have a problem. A serious problem. I'm not getting ANY sound out of my soundcard under Heron, and I would like to have sound come out of it. I checked alsamixer and nothing is muted. It might also help if I mentioned my sound card is an old Audigy 1 soundcard.
[03:00] <goat|lappy> dexter: how about this,  its the last of my delicious links on the kernel: http://www.linuxhq.com/lkprogram.html
[03:00] <Pizarro> conathan, but I don't understand the reason since the protocol is still the same for both platforms, so if it is working for MS platform, it shoul be for Ubuntu too
[03:00] <rfxcasey> can someone please help me straighten out my x config
[03:00] <goat|lappy> dexter: other than that, i wish you luck
[03:00] <Sephiroth> Another thing I'd like to note is it worked fine in older versions of Ubuntu. :S
[03:01] <mjb2287> does anybody know how i can get my palm treo 680 to sync with ubuntu?
[03:01] <ardchoille> !nvidia | rfxcasey  Have you seen this page yet?
[03:01] <mgolisch> Pizarro: there are so many parameters and settings, how exactly do you know that ou realy use the same settings in networkmanagers vpn thing?
[03:01] <Josesordo> hello, help pls
[03:01] <avis> is there a certain setting in gnome-volume-control that needs to be enabled to set output to digital optical out ?
[03:01] <DELTA31>  okay, i need help opening this file because when it opens in terminal it says aborted because of Admin privliages VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[03:01] <Pizarro> mgolisch, I copied them one by one
[03:02] <Pizarro> mgolisch, but anyway, tomorrow I am going to go over this again
[03:02] <Pizarro> mgolisch, I may find something wronmg
[03:02] <mgolisch> DELTA31: use sudo
[03:02] <DELTA31> did no luck
[03:02] <Pizarro> mgolisch, but still wondering that the protocol is the same!
[03:02] <Josesordo> I got a problem with videos or screen saver..they look like with inteference or blinking
[03:02] <onthefence928> grr why is firefox auto-maximizing itself?
[03:02] <cuTe_ghUrL> yuhuw
[03:03] <DELTA31> mgolisch didnt work
[03:03] <mgolisch> DELTA31: chmod a+x blah.run; sudo ./blah.run
[03:03] <Pizarro> ok, guys, gone to bed!!!
[03:03] <DELTA31> mgolisch ill try
[03:03] <rsvp> ok, how long should I leave my machine powered on, optimally?
[03:03] <Josesordo> How to fix the blink videos or screen saver??..maybe the 3D accelerator work wrongly?
[03:04] <ardchoille> rsvp: Some of us don't power off unless there's a kernel update
[03:04] <rfxcasey> ubottu, it's not the driver that worked fine. I was trying to install coolbits to overclock my card. I added one line and after saving I get a blank screen
[03:04] <Lisa1> how can I get to the settings of my graphics card?
[03:04] <rfxcasey> ubottu, added one line to my xorg config
[03:04] <leohartx> how do i make an image iso from my cd/dvd ?
[03:04] <Cibernauta> any program for limit broadband?
[03:05] <bazhang> k9copy leohartx
[03:05] <mgolisch> or dd
[03:05] <mgolisch> :)
[03:05] <rsvp> ardchoille, so what about heating the components excessively over time?  how do you monitor this sort of situation?
[03:06] <onthefence928> rsvp: thermometer
[03:06] <rsvp> yeah
[03:06] <ardchoille> rsvp: I use gkrelm to montiro the machine, other than that you don't have to worry about much in Linux
[03:06] <robert__> Lisa1 what type of video card do you have
[03:06] <leohartx> bazhang: how ? is there any software can do that ?
[03:06] <bazhang> leohartx, k9copy is the software that does that
[03:06] <mgolisch> k9copy is the software i supose
[03:07] <Lisa1> robert_: it is an integrated intel video card
[03:07] <bazhang> !info k9copy
[03:07] <mgolisch> or just use dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/somewhere/some.iso
[03:07] <onthefence928> ardchoille, rsvp: there's also a gnome-taskbar applet that does it too, it says i'm at 65c now :(
[03:07] <avis> anyone experience block artifacts using ATI catalyst driver, say if you play a dvd, you move that window, and where the window once was there is a kind of ghosted artifacts of the movie ?
[03:07] <goat|lappy> onthefence928: thats warm,  laptop or desktop?
[03:07] <ardchoille> onthefence928: true
[03:07] <leohartx> bazhang: how do i install k9copy ?
[03:07] <rsvp> you hear about google monitoring each box across their farm, what utilities do they use for that?
[03:08] <onthefence928> goat|lappy: laptop, and i have no idea how to cool it down
[03:08] <cepher> Gday guys and gals, I got a bit of a problem installing Ubuntu, anyone have a minute?
[03:08] <leohartx> bazhang: is k9 copy base on KDE ?
[03:08] <csilk> rsvp, Custom made
[03:08] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install k9copy leohartx
[03:08] <jan_aus1> hi are intrepid questions allowed in here?
[03:08] <ardchoille> leohartx: yes
[03:08] <onthefence928> !ask > cepher
[03:08] <csilk> jan_aus1, yes
[03:08] <cuTe_ghUrL> i have
[03:08] <rsvp> heard it's all coded in py
[03:08] <bazhang> leohartx, it will need some kde libs
[03:08] <goat|lappy> onthefence928: yeah, laptops are hard to keep cool, i've got a fan-pad below mine to keep it closer to 50C
[03:08] <killerbyte> please can somebody tell me can you set ubuntu to mount file systems on internal hard drives automatically?
[03:08] <scotlfs> hey, does anyone know how to configure a soundblaster X-Fi ?
[03:09] <jan_aus1> is anyone familiar with getting lvm2 on raid to boot with intrepid?
[03:09] <csilk> rsvp, C++, java, Python mainly
[03:09] <Josesordo> help!!!
[03:09] <onthefence928> goat|lappy: what temperature should is tart worrying about actual damage?
[03:09] <mgolisch> killerbyte: yeah, put them into your fstab
[03:09] <Doitle> Has anyone here ever worked with bootable Ubuntu on a flash drive?
[03:09] <goat|lappy> onthefence928: there isn't a specific temp, sustained temps above 70C on your proc will lessen its life tho
[03:09] <Josesordo> when I put a video or screen saver or another video application. they show blinking why?
[03:09] <bazhang> !usb | Doitle
[03:10] <okidoki1> killerbyte did you install storage device manager
[03:10] <bazhang> Josesordo, with or without compiz
[03:10] <Josesordo> with compiz
[03:10] <Josesordo> ç
[03:10] <Josesordo> and without compiz happen too
[03:10] <killerbyte> okidoki1, yes
[03:10] <onthefence928> goat|lappy: yeah over 70 is common for me :(
[03:10] <leohartx> bazang: is there any other software base on Gnome ?
[03:10] <bazhang> Josesordo, disable it with fusion-icon
[03:10] <rsvp> what brings the temperature up?   cpu at what% usage?
[03:10] <mg> hhi to all
[03:10] <Josesordo> disable compiz?
[03:10] <cepher> Right. When I boot from the live CD (was version 7.10 now d/l 8.10) I select boot live cd/install ubuntu, it then says something about the kernal has been loaded. Then there is nothing, just a black screen. No loading bar of sorts, nothing. Are there paramaters I must change, or..?
[03:10] <bazhang> Josesordo, yes
[03:11] <goat|lappy> onthefence928: if you have fiddled with the guts of your laptop, you could consider replacing your fan/heatsink
[03:11] <Doitle> no no I know bazhang, I was asking if anyone had done it with much success. We've managed to get it working through a few different tutorial approaches but they all seem to have some rather odd problems.
[03:11] <onthefence928> does anybody know a good dock like say avant, that works without compiz?
[03:11] <killerbyte> okidoki1, it works a bit funny and does not allow me to mount all file systems
[03:11] <robert__> Lisa1 if you're just trying to adjust screen resolution then in term type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[03:11] <bazhang> Doitle, using hardy or ibex
[03:11] <Josesordo> but without compiz still videos or 3D screensave show blinking
[03:11] <Doitle> Also I meant installing it ONTO the USB drive not from a USB drive
[03:11] <ardchoille> onthefence928: simdock and cairo-dock both work without compiz
[03:11] <jan_aus1> my /boot partition got trashed in an intrepid install, i am chrooted into my system, how can i reinstall/resetup the /boot stuffs?
[03:11] <rsvp> the bizarre thing is that my desktop has no fan?  weird, no ;)
[03:11] <Doitle> Hardy
[03:11] <onthefence928> goat|lappy: i haven't, and you think i can find a cheap upgarde for a toshiba qosmio g35?
[03:11] <goat|lappy> rsvp: no thats just passive cooling
[03:11] <bazhang> Doitle, there is a new utility in ibex to do that
[03:11] <mg> 1
[03:11] <goat|lappy> onthefence928: idk, sorry
[03:11] <KlinkMeister> how do i enable openGL support in ibex?
[03:12] <Lisa1> robert_: I don't think ubuntu is makeing use of my graphics card (3d stuff is not enabled) and furthermore I am trying to adjust brightness, the applet won't work
[03:12] <Josesordo> How to install Atheros wirelless driver??
[03:12] <goat|lappy> rsvp: obviously it doesn't work to the degree of active cooling (a fan), but its a way to save money
[03:12] <onthefence928> ardchoille: i'm trying out simdock now, it seems...buggy, and doesn't let me easily add launcher via drag and drop
[03:12] <ardchoille> onthefence928: I didn't like either one of them
[03:12] <leohartx> bazang: is there any other software base on Gnome ? and btw, how do i test opengl on my graphic card ?
[03:13] <robert__> Lisa1 do you know what intel card you have?
[03:13] <mgolisch> leohartx: glxgears?
[03:13] <killerbyte> mgolisch, is it possible to do it using gui at all?
[03:13] <onthefence928> ardchoille: and cairo has really bad non-compiz visuals,. the background is all black and square
[03:13] <okidoki1> killerbyte, only one click to a device (sdax) and selecting yes on the dialog is enough, if there is an other problem, i dont know
[03:13] <onthefence928> ardchoille: but it look fine with compiz,
[03:13] <mgolisch> killerbyte: no idea, why would you want to? i mean its internal disks, thats something you setup one time
[03:13] <Lisa1> robert_: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
[03:14] <jan_aus1> can i just apt-get to reinstall my kernel?
[03:14] <leohartx> mgolisch: what do you mean ?
[03:14] <rsvp> my hard drive only makes metallic noises at start-up, so I thinking not shutting down will solve this problem ;)
[03:14] <ziroday> jan_aus1: why do you need to reinstall your kernel?
[03:14] <mgolisch> leohartx: glxgears uses opengl, you can use that to see if you opengl works
[03:15] <jan_aus1> ziroday: my /boot got trashed
[03:15] <goat|lappy> rsvp: yes, your right, not shutting down will solve the problem of the drive making noise at startup :-D
[03:15] <ziroday> jan_aus1: then I doubt reinstalling the kernel will fix it.
[03:15] <kavik> wow that's a lot of people.
[03:15] <killerbyte> mgolisch, i will probably change internal disks from time to time
[03:15] <w0ls0n> hello all. I have a K8U-X motherboard. I have gone through the manual and cannot seem to get it to work. Can someone give me a hand?
[03:15] <w0ls0n> the sound that is
[03:15] <leohartx> mgolisch: uhm, how do i ?
[03:15] <w0ls0n> I cannot get sound to work
[03:15] <FloridaBSD> Lisa1: Grab your self a Evga Geforce  8400 gs 47.99 with tax in shipping any where i n the states.
[03:15] <jan_aus1> ziroday: any suggestions?
[03:16] <rsvp> can any software predict a hard drive crash?
[03:16] <ziroday> jan_aus1: only a reinstall comes to mind :)
[03:16] <Lisa1> FloridaBSD: laptop
[03:16] <FloridaBSD> Woops mybad las
[03:16] <kavik> hey everyone of #ubuntu
[03:16] <mgolisch> rsvp: smart maybe
[03:16] <kavik> i have a question
[03:16] <ziroday> rsvp: take a look at smartclt
[03:16] <jan_aus1> ziroday: thats definately overkill... i simply need to reinstall kernel and initram images... i just don't know what packages provide these
[03:16] <burkesbythebay> can anybody help i have mounted a ext3 partition which is displaying on the desktop but i cant write anything to it.  But when I go to /media/sda3 i can.
[03:16] <ziroday> rsvp: sorry I mean smartctl
[03:16] <w0ls0n> ROTF
[03:16] <kavik> is it OK to SELL ubuntu for $10 at a store?
[03:16] <w0ls0n> jesus, I won't tell you how I read that
[03:17] <Lisa1> kavik: no
[03:17] <bazhang> kavik, that is offtopic here
[03:17] <killerbyte> mgolisch, also it is a task that turns away new users so it should really be possible to do it with the gui
[03:17] <kavik> bazhang, well where do i go for that?
[03:17] <kavik> bazhang i thought it was on topic, this is ubuntu afterall..
[03:17] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic kavik
[03:17] <rsvp> I read google has predictive programs which tell them when to swap out their drives.
[03:17] <ziroday> jan_aus1: they all begin with linux-images
[03:17] <FloridaBSD> Lisa1: Of course it is I have seen  websites selling it for around 15 bucks
[03:18] <rsvp> but nothing on code.google.com ;) I mean open-sourced...
[03:18] <jan_aus1> ziroday: linux-images-generic?
[03:18] <ziroday> rsvp: I gave you a name of the program, smartctl
[03:18] <mgolisch> jan_aus1: yeah
[03:18] <ziroday> jan_aus1: that looks fine
[03:18] <Lisa1> FloridaBSD: no I mean I am on a laptop
[03:18] <kingsofleon> hi awesome people
[03:18] <jan_aus1> can x86 and amd64 kernels coexist in the same /boot ?
[03:18] <goat|lappy> jan_aus1: yes
[03:19] <w0ls0n> hello all. I have a K8U-X motherboard. I have gone through the manual and cannot seem to get sound to work. Can someone give me a hand?
[03:19] <jan_aus1> goat|lappy: different filenames?
[03:19] <goat|lappy> jan_aus1: but only one can be running
[03:19] <goat|lappy> jan_aus1: you can put anything you want in /boot  its just a directory
[03:19] <robert__> Lisa1  run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel   then restart and see if everything is detected
[03:19] <Bullterd> Evening All
[03:20] <FloridaBSD> The funny thing is that Sun microsystems  allows you to download Solaris and Open solaris b ass well as charding 65 USD for a solaris medis kit.
[03:20] <nkei0> omfg, i despise wireles in ubuntu...  It worked perfectly then I did the whole daily update thing... And it doesn't work anymore :(
[03:20] <rfxcasey> how do I install nvidia drivers using the command line
[03:20] <ziroday> rfxcasey: what card do you have?
[03:20] <robert__> nkei0 what distro are you on
[03:20] <nkei0> ibix
[03:20] <Bullterd> In ubuntu server, I have multiple network interfaces. Each interface is on its own internet connection. is there anyway I can do a command in any CLI ftp client to specify which interface to use ?
[03:20] <rfxcasey> ziroday, 6800
[03:20] <nkei0> robert__: I had the same problem on hardy though
[03:20] <kingsofleon> rfxcasey which version of ubuntu are you using?
[03:20] <Lisa1> robert_: thanks ill try
[03:21] <rfxcasey> KingOfDos, 8.04
[03:21] <ziroday> rfxcasey: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[03:21] <mjb2287> does anybody know how i can get my palm treo 680 to sync with ubuntu?
[03:21] <Lisa1> robert_: it already is the newest version :(
[03:21] <robert__> ahh i just did ibex this morning after a year of no ubuntu now wireless and every other device is working great
[03:21] <onthefence928> ardchoille: in case you care, you'll be happy to know i just got avant working without compiz
[03:21] <ziroday> rfxcasey: oh right for 8.04 its sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[03:21] <kingsofleon> also dont you need to install some other stuff? nvidia-glx-config nvidia-glx-settings if my memory serves me correctly
[03:21] <nkei0> robert__: Yeah, just make sure you backup your system before doing any updates.
[03:21] <ardchoille> onthefence928: how did you accomplish that? I'd like to know
[03:22] <Mythril> which repository is for backports from jaunty to intrepid?
[03:22] <sergiu> anyone know, how to use the    fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
[03:22] <jan_aus1> does the kernel-image package provide initramfs?
[03:22] <ardchoille> onthefence928: PM?
[03:22] <ziroday> kingsofleon: that comes with the package...or they are not necessary
[03:22] <w0ls0n> any problmes with intrepid?
[03:22] <rsvp> ok , guys, in summary I'm going to look into gkrelm and smartctl --- THANKS very much! -- have a great weekend.
[03:22] <sergiu> svn co
[03:22] <robert__> that's scary... it's work laptop  do you know of any tools to image drive
[03:22] <rfxcasey> ziroday, it keeps telling me failed to fetch
[03:22] <killerbyte> mgolisch, its a very basic capability to just browse internal disk file systems and should really not require manual editing of configuration files i think
[03:22] <bazhang> w0ls0n, read the notes
[03:22] <onthefence928> ardchoille: shoot me one
[03:22] <bazhang> !notes
[03:22] <ziroday> rfxcasey: are you connected to the internet?
[03:22] <FloridaBSD> Bullterd: do and ifconfig this should show you all of you interfaces installed in the machine both live and dormant als use a netstat -i
[03:22] <robert__> w0ls0n  intrepid's been great for me so far
[03:22] <cuTe_ghUrL> hy
[03:22] <cuTe_ghUrL> ok
[03:22] <rfxcasey> ziroday, yea
[03:23] <robert__> on dell precision m2300
[03:23] <killerbyte> mgolisch, what do you think?
[03:23] <nkei0> w0ls0n: not any that i didn't have in hardy...  ACPI still doesn't jive with my ati mobility 9700 and my wireless worked great for about 2 weeks until a random update turned my killswitch to a paperweight
[03:23] <FloridaBSD> Bullterd: do and ifconfig this should show you all of you interfaces installed in the machine both live and dormant als use a netstat -i will aslo list all of the interfaces in you machine.
[03:23] <ziroday> rfxcasey: try changing repo's then. Can you pastebin the exact error message
[03:23] <w0ls0n> well I hope it doesn't screw up vmware
[03:23] <DamienGray> Is there a way to upgrade to intrepid without losing my files, but also without ubuntu sucking afterwords?
[03:23] <rfxcasey> ziroday, ok one second
[03:23] <w0ls0n> it's been a little buggy. I think I am going to convert my vmware box to an EXSi vmware box instead
[03:23] <rfxcasey> ziroday, I'm rebooting just in cause\
[03:24] <ziroday> DamienGray: depends on what you call "sucking"
[03:24] <werdna> !best
[03:24] <mgolisch> killerbyte: its internal disks, not removeable or something, for that i would agree with you, but you usualy dont change internal disks all day so its a one time task to set that up
[03:24] <DamienGray> ziroday: Well...stuff messing up, permissions on files changing, etc.
[03:24] <Mettlesome> hi
[03:24] <ziroday> DamienGray: that shouldn't happen, but still may
[03:24] <pangloss> !hi | Mettlesome
[03:25] <DamienGray> ziroday: Is it worth upgrading now, or should I wait for a few more updates to intrepid?
[03:25] <rfxcasey> ziroday, ok it's going
[03:25] <ziroday> DamienGray: if are really worried the best idea to is to backup your files and do a fresh install.
[03:25] <ziroday> DamienGray: and you can upgrade whenever you want, no time is going to be the best
[03:25] <rfxcasey> ziroday, what is the difference between nvidia-glx-177 and new
[03:26] <ziroday> rfxcasey: you are using 8.04 correct?
[03:26] <rfxcasey> ziroday, correct
[03:26] <smalleyes> why does every little click i do in gtkpod take up 100% CPU make gtkpod unresponsive for 10 seconds???
[03:26] <kingsofleon> rfx - i think new will include all the necssary stuff you need whereas 177 is only part of what you need
[03:26] <smalleyes> using gtkpod 0.99.12.
[03:26] <kingsofleon> if that makes sense
[03:26] <roffe> This is so annoying.. I have the infamous atheros wireless card that caused a lot of issues in the last versions of ubuntu..And now that I've installed 8.10 it still doesn't work
[03:26] <Lisa1> please how can I get to my graphic cards properties, and how can I see all my installed hardware?
[03:26] <ziroday> rfxcasey: then you don't have nvidia-glx-177, it was just a rename between hardy to intrepid
[03:26] <w0ls0n> is there a way I can get ubuntu auth with windows 2003 server?
[03:27] <ziroday> roffe: which card?
[03:27] <rfxcasey> ziroday, roger that
[03:27] <goat|lappy> Lisa1: the second question is answered by using lspci
[03:27] <kingsofleon> lisa: sudo ap-get install hardinfo
[03:27] <pangloss> Lisa1: $lspci
[03:27] <roffe> ziroday: ar5007
[03:27] <Munchkinguy> Does Ubuntu 8.10 load XGL by default?
[03:27] <mgolisch> w0ls0n: likewise or do it manualy using samba/winbind/kerberos
[03:27] <ziroday> Lisa1: whats wrong with your graphics card?
[03:27] <ziroday> roffe: one sec
[03:27] <ziroday> roffe: have you read the release notes?
[03:27] <rfxcasey> ziroday, I want to overclock my card using coolbit as it worked great in windows but trying to install the linux version messed up my xorg
[03:27] <roffe> ziroday: unfortunately not
[03:28] <Lisa1> ziroday: I have no 3D working, so I figured it doesn't work :( furthermore I can't dim my laptop screen
[03:28] <ziroday> !notes | roffe you need the part about atheros cards, it tells you how there
[03:28] <ziroday> rfxcasey: overclocking is really, really not recommended here. Anyway you should use the nvclock app in the repos
[03:28] <FloridaBSD> Lisa1: : What chipset  are you running on?
[03:29] <ziroday> Lisa1: okay, what graphics card do you have (if you know?)
[03:29] <roffe> Thanks a lot ziroday! I'll check it out
[03:29] <rfxcasey> ziroday, ok it installed now what do I do to get a gui back
[03:29] <Optimus997> can anyone help me install package manually?
[03:29] <ziroday> rfxcasey: erm restart
[03:29] <ziroday> Optimus997: what do you mean by manually?
[03:29] <Lisa1> ziroday: FloridaBSD: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
[03:29] <rfxcasey> ziroday, so will it autodetect or something
[03:29] <ziroday> roffe: that will hopefully get your card working
[03:29] <Skry^> Munchkinguy, XGL is kinda dead. So no.
[03:29] <dexter> goat|lappy;i lost ur previous reply...could u repeat....i was just away.....
[03:29] <ziroday> rfxcasey: should do
[03:29] <ziroday> Lisa1: great, one sec
[03:30] <mgolisch> night
[03:30] <killerbyte> mgolisch, without ever changing internal disks i think it is too important a task to expect new users to edit config files for
[03:30] <mgolisch> tiem for sleep
[03:30] <csilk> Strange thing happened with my laptop, software dimmer always worked just fine. Recently I dropped and broke my laptop screen so I bought and fitted a replacement and now the software dimmer doesn't work properly. Pretty strange, no?
[03:30] <rfxcasey> ziroday, the graphics with ubuntu are really annoying to get working
[03:30] <goat|lappy> how about this,  its the last of my delicious links on the kernel: http://www.linuxhq.com/lkprogram.html
[03:30] <pangloss> !dpkg | Optimus997
[03:30] <goat|lappy> dexter: ^^
[03:30] <Optimus997> ziroday: i wanna install autoconf 2.59c but ubuntu 6.06 has 2.59 and its not updating vis apt-get so i have to install it manually
[03:30] <rfxcasey> ziroday, I mean if you mess them up
[03:30] <ziroday> rfxcasey: erm no, you probably did something different :)
[03:30] <egoflux> yo
[03:30] <pangloss> Optimus997: use dpkg
[03:30] <rfxcasey> ziroday, they were great on first install
[03:31] <rfxcasey> ziroday, so is it not suggested to use envy in hoary
[03:31] <Optimus997> is dpkg used like apt-get?
[03:31] <ziroday> rfxcasey: yep
[03:31] <goat|lappy> dexter: ive got to go now though, so good luck with your education
[03:31] <kingsofleon> opti yes but it's much more complicated
[03:31] <pangloss> Optimus997: $man dpkg
[03:31] <dexter> goat|lappy;thanq....
[03:31] <rfxcasey> ziroday, yeah it never worked right for me
[03:31] <ziroday> Optimus997: sorry, I don't know how to go about that. Have you checked in backports?
[03:31] <roffe> ziroday: I will read it more properly, but the proprietary drivers claim the wireless is installed, yet I don't have the option in the networkmanager to choose any wireless
[03:32] <rfxcasey> ziroday, ok I rebooted but it takes me to a command line
[03:32] <ziroday> roffe: yeah thats known, the package it tells you to install has the newer ath5k dirver with better support for your card
[03:32] <ziroday> rfxcasey: bah, what does it say in /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the Driver line
[03:33] <rebel_kid> can i make a /opt/subdirectory writable by a user other than root
[03:33] <rfxcasey> ziroday, what is the best way to view it from the command line
[03:33] <rfxcasey> ziroday, nano?
[03:33] <ziroday> Lisa1: can you do compiz --replace at the command line and see what it says please
[03:33] <roffe> ziroday: so, they should be activated eventhough I can't get access to wireless in the nwm?
[03:33] <ziroday> rfxcasey: yep, thats fine
[03:33] <pangloss> rebel_kid: yes, use $chown
[03:33] <ziroday> roffe: sorry, I don't follow
[03:33] <WebcamWonder> Guys, is there a list from nVidia that tells which driver version supports which cards?
[03:33] <rfxcasey> ziroday, you will have to walk me through it as I am no good with nano
[03:34] <w0ls0n> vi rocks
[03:34] <Lisa1> ziroday: Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
[03:34] <ziroday> WebcamWonder: yep, you can see it at nvidia.com. If you tell us the card version I might know :)
[03:34] <kingsofleon> webcam if you search for nvidia in synaptic package manager the descriptiosn should say
[03:34] <ziroday> rfxcasey: no worries
[03:34] <killerbyte> mgolisch, i dont think new users should have to edit config files for important basic tasks
[03:34] <pangloss> WebcamWonder: yes, i've seen it before, it might have been on nvidea's website
[03:34] <ziroday> Lisa1: can you pastebin the entire output please
[03:34] <ardchoille> ok, I just enabled compositing in metacity (no nvidia drivers installed) and I got window drop shadows. How can I configure the effects now with metacity?
[03:34] <rebel_kid> pangloss, operation not permitted
[03:34] <WebcamWonder> ziroday, Geforce Go, 6150 (crappy laptop card)
[03:34] <roffe> ziroday: the proprietary drivers.. should they be activated? Because even if they are I don't get to see anything about wireless in the networkmanager
[03:34] <sergiu> hi
[03:35] <Lisa1> ziroday: I will flood the chat?
[03:35] <w0ls0n> it's been a little buggy. I think I am going to convert my vmware box to an EXSi vmware box instead
[03:35] <sergiu> i am having problem with validating certificate with svn
[03:35] <w0ls0n> hello all. I have a K8U-X motherboard. I have gone through the manual and cannot seem to get sound to work. Can someone give me a hand?
[03:35] <pangloss> rebel_kid: $sudo chown <username> /opt/direct
[03:35] <ziroday> roffe: you installed the linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic correct?
[03:35] <pangloss> !paste | Lisa1
[03:35] <ziroday> !pastebin | Lisa1 put it here
[03:35] <ziroday> WebcamWonder: gimme 30 secs
[03:35] <Lisa1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/69468/
[03:36] <WebcamWonder> ziroday, Awesome! thanks! would love if you actually gave me the URL to that page as well :p
[03:36] <killerbyte> mgolisch, all basic tasks especially important tasks like browsing internal disk file systems should be very easy to do for new users i think
[03:36] <ziroday> WebcamWonder: sure
[03:36] <rebel_kid> pangloss, lol dur
[03:36] <ziroday> Lisa1: looking
[03:36] <rfxcasey> ziroday, ok on the device line it says identifier "configured video device" then under that it says options "usefbdev" true
[03:36] <pangloss> rebel_kid: =)
[03:36] <roffe> ziroday: No I haven't done anything like that.. does it say about that in the link you gave?
[03:36] <sergiu> hi, can anyone look please on http://paste.ubuntu.com/69449/
[03:36] <rebel_kid> pangloss, -r to make it recursive?
[03:36] <ziroday> rfxcasey: there should be a line that says Driver "something"
[03:37] <pangloss> rebel_kid: if there are things in the directory then yes, but its a capital R
[03:37] <rebel_kid> pangloss, thank you :)
[03:37] <sergiu> having problem with Error validating server certificate for ..
[03:37] <ziroday> roffe: this tells you how to get it working http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Atheros%20ath5k%20wireless%20driver%20not%20enabled%20by%20default
[03:37] <sergiu> can anyone helpme
[03:37] <ziroday> Lisa1: that appears to have started compiz just fine, whats the issue?
[03:37] <Munchkinguy> Skry^: Because my battery life is much shorter after an upgrade to 8.10, and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with 3D acceleration. I disabled the effects, but I assume it's still using the same driver.
[03:37] <rfxcasey> ziroday, no nothing
[03:37] <ramgarden> has anyone tried setting up an ubuntu pc with dial up modem using netzero isp for their parents?
[03:37] <ziroday> rfxcasey: you are looking in the Section "Device" area correct?
[03:37] <Lisa1> ziroday: I have no 3D support and I also can not adjust brightnes
[03:38] <ziroday> Lisa1: hmm well it appears you do have 3d support otherwise compiz shouldn't run
[03:38] <rfxcasey> ziroday, yes the section device only says exactly what it typed to you
[03:38] <ziroday> rfxcasey: okay, add the line Drivers "nvidia"
[03:38] <ziroday> rfxcasey: then close and type in the terminal startx
[03:38] <WebcamWonder> ziroday, Found it!
[03:39] <ziroday> WebcamWonder: great, sorry got sidetracked
[03:39] <WebcamWonder> ziroday, pangloss, Thank you
[03:39] <roffe> ziroday: Sure it mentions it, but I'm not very savvy on Ubuntu.. how do install such a package? It claims to be on the cd
[03:39] <Lisa1> ziroday: this is what chess says: unalbe to enable 3D mode, No Python OpenGL support, No Python GTKGLExt support, but more importantly I need to turn down the brightness before I go blind!
[03:39] <actionfigure> anyone use mac4lin theme? :) having issues making the panel look like leopard
[03:39] <ziroday> roffe: can you hook your laptop up to an ethernet cable briefly?
[03:39] <Skry^> Munchkinguy, now that you mentioned, i noticed that pulseaudio eats about 19-15% cpu on my acer aspire one if i'm watching movie or so.
[03:39] <tyl> hi how to i download x64 packages? is it the same as 32 bit ones?
[03:39] <roffe> ziroday: I'm on it now
[03:40] <Skry^> Munchkinguy, sorry, 19 to 25%.
[03:40] <ziroday> Lisa1: for the brightness I can't help you. Sorry
[03:40] <rfxcasey> ziroday, how exactly should I type it
[03:40] <ziroday> roffe: open a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic
[03:40] <WebcamWonder> Ok, so is there a difference between the 177, and 173 drivers?
[03:40] <Munchkinguy> Skry^: I guess I'll stick with ALSA then.
[03:40] <Alfalfaz> Could someone help me, my screen goes dark when I watch movies. I have power management settings off. I can still hear sound and SSH to it, but the problem persist through restarting X as well. Only thing that helps is reboot. Please help me, it is driving me nuts
[03:41] <tyl> anyone here use 64 bit ubuntu?
[03:41] <ziroday> rfxcasey: as Drivers "nvidia", with spaces between Drivers and "nvidia" to keep it in line
[03:41] <Person12345> hi all, my Ubuntu Hardy just crashed out of the blue, and when I tried to reboot using ctrl+alt+backspace, it said "I/O Error - missing buffer on device sda1", and then when I tried to reboot completely from bios is told me that it couldn't find menu.lst - I'm booted up in XP now. Any help, please?
[03:41] <rfxcasey> ziroday, are use sure it's Drivers and not Driver
[03:41] <WebcamWonder> tyl, Yes I do
[03:41] <Skry^> Munchkinguy, yeah. but as for 3d, intrepid is using compiz by default.
[03:41] <Lisa1> ziroday: the 3D? and can you tell me how I can change setings of my graphics card?
[03:41] <ziroday> rfxcasey: woops, drivers sorry
[03:41] <rfxcasey> ziroday, the other things say driver not drivers
[03:41] <roffe> thanks a lot ziroday! I tried doing the same, but I forgot to write "install" :)
[03:41] <tyl> WebcamWonder:  how do i install 64 bit packages?
[03:41] <Alfalfaz> Could someone help me, my screen goes dark when I watch movies. I have power management settings off. I can still hear sound and SSH to it, but the problem persist through restarting X as well. Only thing that helps is reboot. Please help me, it is driving me nuts. I got Xubuntu 32 bit on intel gma945 and C2D 1.8 ghz with 4 gb  ram. Using intreprid
[03:41] <ziroday> rfxcasey: I mean driver
[03:42] <IchigoMorino> How do you pipe the output of ALSA to a mic device?
[03:42] <rfxcasey> ziroday, ok then
