[03:46] <kshadow> SiVA_: There was a big forum post or website about dvd reading, one sec.
[03:46] <SiVA_> you know the exact name of it?
[03:46] <kshadow> I'll see if I can find it again.
[03:46] <SiVA_> hrm.. why is it so hard to play dvds?
[03:46] <jziesemann> I'm having trouble getting my sound to work on an HP Pavilion laptop
[03:46] <arvind_khadri> !dvd > SiVA_
[03:46] <kshadow> You just need the proper libraries.
[03:46] <G-Bleezy> ok
[03:46] <kshadow> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-play-dvd-under-ubuntu-linux
[03:46] <arvind_khadri> jziesemann: can you please explain more
[03:47] <InfectedWithDrew> How do I use partimage to restore an image I created?  I have no clue how to do anything so I need a detailed explanation.
[03:47] <kshadow> I guess arvind_khadri is more help/.
[03:47] <arvind_khadri> kshadow: :)
[03:47] <jziesemann> My external speakers aren't doing anything when I try to play any audio, but I can hear sound through headphones
[03:47] <kingtut> i had it working but i installed larger harddrive on the smaller harddrive it work but i dont remember how it done it

[03:48] <SiVA_> thank you all for the links/suggestions
[03:48] <thiebaude> lol
[03:48] <arvind_khadri> jziesemann: in the terminal type alsamixer and check whether the levels are up
[03:48] <SiVA_> but seriously.. it's 2009. Why wouldn't a modern, consumer level distribution not be able to play a dvd out of the box?
[03:48] <kshadow> That wasn't the site I was thinking of, but it seems to cover it.
[03:49] <Flannel> SiVA_: #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place to discuss that, and I'd be happy to if you'll follow me there.
[03:49] <SiVA_> we went on a 10 hour road trip, packed two laptops, and 6 dvds for the kids to watch on the way up... imagine the disappointment
[03:49] <thiebaude> SiVA:on windows xp you need a third party program to play a dvd
[03:49] <arvind_khadri> SiVA_: as there are still laws forbiding it...Ubuntu comes from US so laws are strict there
[03:49] <jziesemann> It's showing at 100
[03:49] <SiVA_> thiebaude: windows xp is old
[03:49] <meoblast001> how do you run cpuburn?
[03:50] <Flannel> SiVA_: #ubuntu-offtopic, this isn't the place for this discussion
[03:50] <SiVA_> it's ok.. sorry

[04:07] <Cpudan80> 7500
[04:08] <Cpudan80> So I don't use fglrx
[04:08] <jaem> is there a reason g15daemon doesn't seem to have a -dev package?
[04:08] <jero> the whole 3d acceleration thing in linux, specially with ati cards needs a review
[04:08] <jaem> I can build it manually, in any case, but it's odd
[04:08] <GeffIsLegend> okay guys so i got WoW working now , but the sound doesnt work , how do i fix this?
[04:09] <jaem> >_< never mind - it didn't appear in the search in Synaptic, but it is in fact there
[04:09] <jero> GeffIsLegend - i think in wine you can choose between alsa and OSS somewhere in the config files. try editing those?

[04:10] <GeffIsLegend> o okay

[04:19] <crumple> does openoffice.org 3.0 handle SVGs with transparent backgrounds correctly?  because 2.4 certainly doesn't...
[04:19] <Dr_willis> shingalated,  well its proberly doable.. you can make a whatever.desktop session to run whaever command ya need. But im not sure where you would tell X what xorg.conf file to use specifically. (its doable from the command line)  Or you could 'cheat' and make the whatever.desktop session copy some xorg.conf.notwinview to xorg.conf , then launch i guess.. but that may not work.

[04:22] <binarymutant> is ext4 stable enough to use in production?
[04:22] <WIGGMPk> Is screenlets help to taboo for this channel?
[04:22] <WIGGMPk> I guess if I have to ask that, it is, aint?

[04:23] <bug> Not?
[04:23] <scunizi> binarymutant: wait for Jaunty
[04:23] <Dr_willis> shingalated,  ive seen examples/guides on the Gentoo Nvidia  wiki pages where they some how passed  a argrument/option to the  X  system and used different 'sections'  of a xorg.conf for various setups. (one to enable tv out, one to enable 2 monitors, one for 1 monitor) - Im just not sure how ya integerate it with gdm.
[04:24] <WIGGMPk> binarymutant: im not sure why you just ubottu'ed me patience.. I was kinda talking to myself about asking about screenlets in this channel..
[04:24] <Dr_willis> shingalated,  so they had one large (complex?) xorg.conf - and dident need to use several of them.
[04:24] <scunizi> shingalated: if you're looking for dual monitors nvidia-settings makes it pretty painless after you mess with it for a while..
[04:24] <shingalated> Dr_willis, I'll see if I can find that in the gentoo wiki
[04:24] <binarymutant> scunizi, I was thinking of dist-upgrading to Jaunty but wanted to make sure ext4 wouldn't have any file loss, do you know if it does?

[04:27] <wartalker> binarymutant: i want to only change the panel font, and not change others
[04:28] <redvamp128> ext4: I read the specs on it and right now-- from what I understand is that grub has some issues booting ubuntu off it .. (last what I read about it)
[04:28] <muaniezzzzzzzzzz> hyyyyyyyyy
[04:28] <MaxRide> gbear14275: usermod <logon> -L  (I think)

[04:29] <WIGGMPk> I am using Intrepid Ibex (2.6.27-11-generic (amd64)) and every time I load, the screenlets that I have active are not automatically going to the widget layer.. is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a problem with screenlets or the compiz?? Any help is appreciated, even though its not ubuntu specific.
[04:29] <tritium> muaniezzzzzzzzzz: please stop
[04:29] <gbear14275> MaxRide: tritium:  I need the account to still be able to pass mail... just want to disable login... that the correct thing?
[04:29] <redvamp128> binarymutant:  and found a post that says you have to recompile your kernel to use it-- plus -- you have to put the boot on a ext2 or ext3 then a redirect..
[04:30] <wayStead> hey i installed ubuntu in virtualbox, and im having trouble getting it to use my native monitor resolution
[04:30] <tritium> gbear14275: I can't speak for mail.  That switch locks the account.  Please "man passwd" for more details.
[04:30] <jrib>  /b #weechat
[04:30] <gbear14275> thank you
[04:30] <jero> wayStead - mount the vboxadditions and install them. then all works
[04:30] <binarymutant> redvamp128, you have to custom compile a kernel? the one in Jaunty won't work with it? I thought that was the big feature of Jaunty :(
[04:31] <tritium> wayStead: the host OS, not ubuntu in a virtual machine, would be where you want to look at monitor resolution
[04:31] <orly_owl> http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ is there a step by step guide for this?
[04:31] <jero> wayStead - without the additions your mouse will be clumsy and the graphics slow, plus it wont autoadjust your resolution
[04:31] <Flannel> orly_owl: On setting up bootchart?  Install it.
[04:31] <mikeshollen> Can someone please help me get my microphone working?

[04:32] <wayStead> jero - thks
[04:32] <binarymutant> orly_owl, it was a hack, he booted into run levels before they were done loading
[04:32] <orly_owl> is that bad?
[04:33] <karoshi> anyone here good with ati graphics? im having a strange problem
[04:33] <binarymutant> orly_owl, could be it's really all about what you need
[04:33] <redvamp128> binarymutant:  though I would ask that about a feature in #ubuntu+1

[04:39] <MaxRide> nyaa:  In fact...just plan no. Software raid uses system resources where-as hardware raids do not.
[04:39] <jero> nyaa - with a fast cpu, a software raid0 is just as fast.
[04:39] <MaxRide> nyaa: With the proper hardware, the raid is set up in the cards BIOS (Not really seen by the OS)...IE: Dell servers
[04:39] <wayStead> jero - i am getting a "command not found" error when i tried to run the Vbox additions executable
[04:40] <wayStead> jero - i had to use sudo since it wanted to be run as admin
[04:40] <nyaa> jero - so I'll get the same advantage for speed? (if with a fast processor?)
[04:40]  * rlee just turns off his fakeraid in bios and uses dmraid
[04:40] <jero> wayStead - note the its VBo... with capital B
[04:40] <scunizi> wayStead: in ubuntu or kubuntu
[04:40] <wayStead> jero - nvm i had to do ./VBox
[04:41] <wayStead> why is that anyway ? lol kinda annoying
[04:41] <jero> nyaa yes, hardware raids have other benefits. You do not require any drivers. Most onboard raid0 solutions are just software raids backed up with some hardware for setting up the raid
[04:41] <nyaa> maxride but its not that way from what I've seen, everything in linux is showing 2 drives instead of 1
[04:41] <binarymutant> wayStead, ./ is like sh, it runs a program
[04:41] <muaniezzzzzzzzzz> hhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy
[04:41] <nyaa> jero thanks =)
[04:42] <wayStead> binarymutant - can i use csh with ubuntu ?
[04:42] <deserteagle> help! i rebooted after using a puppy linux live CD and now x server won't show anything
[04:42] <binarymutant> wayStead, yes, I might not sure how csh runs things though, it might run thing the same way as bash but not sure
[04:43] <binarymutant> I'm not sure*
[04:43] <MaxRide> jero: What's your experience with RAIDS and Ubuntu? Mine has been to set up the RAID in the card and the BIOS takes care of the rest (Although, I think the OS still sees the physical disks and knows it's a raid).
[04:43] <ArtVandalae> Hi guys, does anyone get a "Packages not trusted" when trying to install Mercurial? (aptitude install mercurial)
[04:44] <binarymutant> ArtVandalae, what repo are you using?
[04:44] <ArtVandalae> binarymutant, only the defaults :\ that's why I ask
[04:44] <bdelin881> how do i use chmod to 775 a folder recursively?
[04:44] <ArtVandalae> bdelin881, chmod -R 775 folder
[04:44] <binarymutant> bdelin881, -r or -R probably
[04:45] <bdelin881> hmm, doesn't seem like it's working
[04:45] <Bobblybook> can anyone guide me through making a startup script?
[04:45] <jero> MaxRide - if it is a real hardware raid, then the OS doesnt need to know anything. It just sees a single disk
[04:45] <binarymutant> ArtVandalae, do you have the ubuntu-keyring and debian-keyring installed?
[04:46] <GreenHorn> hey could someone give me an idea what command I should be using in terminal to take a lircd.conf file from my desktop and copying it over the current one in ect/lirc ?
[04:46] <deserteagle> everyone's got a working system... except me! please help
[04:46] <GreenHorn> ubuntu 8.10 fyi
[04:46] <deserteagle> all i have is a black screen
[04:46] <wayStead> can someone show me how to use csh with ubuntu ?
[04:46] <jero> MaxRide - on those semi hardware onboard raids, your OS just needs to have the driver. Pure software raids i never tried. I know OsX allows you to create software raids right in the partitioning process
[04:46] <binarymutant> GreenHorn, sudo cp Desktop/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/
[04:46] <GreenHorn> if i could help i would desert first day here :(
[04:46] <ThePlaneskeeper> does anyone know why after the most recent updates in 8.10, it will not allow my screens to be set to 1920x1200 resolution?  It will only allow up to 1600x1200 resolution at this time.
[04:46] <Dr_willis> GreenHorn,  to copy fles from one system to another over the lan.. scp is very handy.. You need to insall ssh on both systems I think. (or at least the one you are copying to)
[04:46] <GreenHorn> thank you binarymutant I'll try now
[04:46] <tritium> wayStead: why are you wanting csh over bash?
[04:47] <scunizi> wayStead: why not just sudo sh ./VBox<yada yada>
[04:47] <MaxRide> nyaa: jero: I think you're going to want to invest in a proper RAID card to see an advantage. It sounds like you really want the performance increase, so it'll be worth it.
[04:47] <deserteagle> thanks GreenHorn =\
[04:47] <RussM> GreenHorn, "sudo cp /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf; sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
[04:47] <WyWy_> Hello
[04:47] <rlee> what's the best price to performance for raid cards?
[04:47] <rlee> like $100?
[04:47] <jero> MaxRide - the advantage i see is that you do not have to setup drivers, otherwise modern cpus are fast enough to handle software raids easily
[04:48] <RussM> GreenHorn, Oops, the first one should have been making a backup, but I forgot to change the second filename.
[04:48] <MaxRide> nyaa: Fairly cheap (for the cheap stuff)...Less than $100 if I remember correctly.....However, with RAID 0 I lost 800GB of data...so that's your 'fair warning'.
[04:48] <rlee> ouch
[04:48] <atom^x> deserteagle, ctl+alt+F1 may get you to a text login
[04:48] <GreenHorn> ut oh
[04:48] <GreenHorn> thats actually ok
[04:48] <deserteagle> atom^x: it doesn't :(
[04:48] <rlee> i remember losing three monthes work due to thrashing on my swap disk
[04:48] <GreenHorn> i don't really need a back up already have one I believe
[04:49] <GreenHorn> so should I just stick with this command? sudo cp /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf; sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
[04:49] <jero> always have a large usb/eSata/firewire HDD with a powerswitch for the backup is my thinking
[04:49] <MaxRide> rlee: It was all my anime / movies. I had a 1TB Iomega external disk....be wary of Iomega...in total I've lost more than 2TB by buying from them.
[04:49] <deserteagle> atom^x: just before launching X i goto terminal 1 and i can log in... as soon as X launches, screen goes blank
[04:49] <jero> backup and turn it off, protecting it against any kind of attack as well
[04:49] <perlsyntax> Does anyone use pydev for eclipse?
[04:50] <RussM> GreenHorn, The general form is "sudo cp sourcefile destfile"
[04:50] <perlsyntax> i can't get it to update.
[04:50] <perlsyntax> odd
[04:50] <GreenHorn> yeehaw! thanks, that worked like magic. believe me I was trying everything. just what I needed
[04:50] <perlsyntax> anyone?
[04:50] <atom^x> deserteagle, can you choose recovery mode from grub?
[04:50] <perlsyntax> hello
[04:50] <Bobblybook> can someone help me with creating a startup script. I've got one but it's not working like I would like
[04:51] <wayStead> i have been using csh in all my classes so i thought it would be better to stick to it
[04:51] <WyWy> Hi
[04:51] <GreenHorn> one more quick question, is LIRC going to recognize my Phillips eHome receiver right off the bat or do I need a conf file for that as well?
[04:51] <scunizi> What platform uses csh?
[04:51] <lucax> hello, im tryin to get a swap on fstab i type options like none swap sw 0 0 is that correct?
[04:51] <Newfie_rich> Can someone PRETTY PLEASE help me add a directory to my PATH
[04:52] <Newfie_rich> I can't figure it out
[04:52] <jero> Newfie_rich - i told you - sudo vim /etc/environment
[04:52] <AndrewGearhart> I'm attempting to obtain the linux headers for my kernel which 'uname -r' says is 2.6.24-18-generic ... but I'm getting 'Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.'
[04:52] <lucax> swap options on fstab could some on check options please?
[04:53] <Newfie_rich> jero: thanks, you message must of got lost in the chat :D
[04:53] <rlee> Maxride: thanx for the warning
[04:54]  * rlee prefers brand name HDs
[04:54] <MaxRide> rlee: Sure thing. =)(
[04:54] <jero> Newfie_rich - in 8.10 there is a bug with this however. it requires me to log out and in to get it working. In 8.04 it works fine
[04:54] <scunizi> http://pastebin.com/f649f49aa ... lucax.. this is my fstab.. uuid can be discovered with sudo blkid
[04:55] <uspenok> does any one knows howto check some ip port, for proxy in bash
[04:56] <AndrewGearhart> what kernel should I have with ubuntu 64bit right now to be up-to-date?
[04:56] <Newfie_rich> jero: just edited it guessing i am going to have to restart for it to take effect eh?
[04:56] <jero> Newfie_rich log out and in should be enough
[04:56] <ikonia> uspenok: bash is a shell it can't do that, you want something like nmap
[04:56] <jero> Newfie_rich - maybe not even that, just start a terminal and check $PATH
[04:56] <uspenok> ikonia: thx
[04:56] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then on boot the latest kernel will be listed on top of the grub menu
[04:57] <jbu311> hi all, this may be a more hardware question but...when I download ubuntu is defaults to the i386 desktop version...is there not an x86 version?  I thought i386 refers to the 80386 chip...I also assume this bundle isn't optimized for my processor (intel core 2 quad)...is that righT?
[04:57] <GeffIsLegend> hey everyone , can you help me setup skype on my ubuntu install? it doesnt seem to be working
[04:57] <ikonia> !skype > GeffIsLegend
[04:57] <terr_> I want to send a live CD for ubuntu to a friend for her young son and then do a remote install.  I can do this via ssh - but is there a utility for the target machine to send the IP address back to my machine once its on the net?  I run static IP's
[04:57] <ikonia> terr_: how do you plan to do it over ssh ?
[04:58] <Flannel> jbu311: No, i386 is the generic term for the 32bit intel compatable processors.  the -generic kernel does all the optimizations for the processors.
[04:58] <GeffIsLegend> ii keep getting the error message "problem with audio playback"
[04:58] <AndrewGearhart> jbu311: you've got the right one... the intel c2q can also run 64bit ... but the i386 is what you probably want.
[04:58] <scunizi> jbu311: although it shows i386 .. the kernel discovers x86 code and uses it.
[04:58] <wayStead> will xubuntu run fine in vbox ?
[04:58] <jero> wayStead yes
[04:58] <scunizi> wayStead: sure
[04:58] <jero> wayStead 8.04 will run faster in it than 8.10
[04:58] <jbu311> Flannel, so when I compile the kernel, and it creates the kernel images for different architectures, it gives me a kernel for x86 and i386...should I then choose x86?
[04:59] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: that will update me... correct? I'm currently running with Intrepid... will that take me to something later (am I perhaps missing a kernel upgrade or something)?
[04:59] <wayStead> i googled around and people seem to state issues about problems with vboxadditions
[04:59] <Flannel> jbu311: Why are you compiling a kernel?
[04:59] <jbu311> Flannel, or choose i386?
[04:59] <ikonia> jbu311: why are you compiling th kernel ?
[04:59] <terr_> Also - I've looked at a few suggestions for small low power web servers and see new preicess from $199 for a fitPC up into the $400 range for an HP netbook 1000MI.  Are there any suggestions for cheaper used machines?
[04:59] <jbu311> Flannel, optimizing speed and space, more of a learning experience
[04:59] <ikonia> Flannel: too quick
[04:59] <terr_> ikonia I'll use ssh
[04:59] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: it will only update you on intrepid.. it won't take you to jaunty..
[04:59] <ikonia> terr_: how do you plan to use a gui installer ?
[04:59] <ikonia> terr_: your other question is hardware and not on topic in here
[04:59] <terr_> ikonia I don't want to use a gui installer.
[05:00] <Flannel> jbu311: You won't learn anything from compiling really.  You effectively push a button and the software takes care of the rest.  The -generic kernel does optimizations at runtime to take advantage of all of your processors abilities.
[05:00] <ikonia> terr_: so what would you run to install via ssh ?
[05:00] <terr_> ikonia suggest a channel for the hw please.
[05:00] <MaxRide> terr_:  I use "Sun Cobalts".  They are a bit of a security risk but they're generally cheap ($100 to $250) and VERY nice.
[05:00] <jero> wayStead You ll have to find out yourself i guess. doesnt take long to install anyway
[05:00] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: i'm trying to get vmware server working... and the problem that I'm having is that I can't locate the linux headers for my kernel
[05:00] <zXstanyXz> arvind_khadri: envyng worked :) thanks :)
[05:00] <terr_> ikonia all the instalelrs I've used to date are none gui
[05:00] <jbu311> Flannel, thanks
[05:00] <ikonia> terr_: on ubuntu ?
[05:00] <jbu311> thanks all
[05:00] <terr_> MaxRide: thanks - I'll take a look
[05:00] <ikonia> terr_: what command do you run to launch the installer ?
[05:00] <Bobblybook> Looking for help creating a startup script
[05:00] <Newfie_rich> jero: whats that command one last time? i edited it and still now dice
[05:01] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: ah.. why didn't you say so.. sudo apt-get install build-essential so vmware can build it's kernel mod.
[05:01] <deserteagle> atom^x: none of the utilities in the recovery mode helped :(
[05:01] <wayStead> jero - do you think it will run better than ubuntu in vbox, im having perormance problems with ubuntu
[05:01] <terr_> ikonia: I've never used ubuntu.  I currently run debian and on the other servers its red hat or OpenBSD
[05:01] <wayStead> dont really have a great comp
[05:01] <ScottG489> So every time I hibernate it says that there isnt enough swap and sends me back to a locked screen login. Right now I have 4GB of RAM and 4 GB of swap (which is probaby too much but the ubuntu swap page said that you should have as much or twice as much swap then you do RAM). I originally installed to have 1.5 gigs of swap but then followed the swap faq to make more (2.5 to make it 4 total). So anyways now when I swap it very
[05:01] <ScottG489> frequently says there isnt enough space. Its usually when I have quite a few programs open (or firefox with a lot of tabs) but I have checked my memory before using "free" before and after i tried to swap and the results were me having 3.4 gigs of RAM free and 3.0 gigs of swap free. So I dont understand how it could be telling me I didnt have enough swap free. Any help?
[05:01] <jero> wayStead - which version of Ubuntu did you use, and what cpu is it?
[05:01] <ikonia> terr_: ok - so you won't be able to install ubuntu via ssh
[05:01] <eyehatesludge> ive got a general computer question, if i installed the x86-64 version of ubuntu will ia64 versions of other operating systems install on my computer
[05:01] <ikonia> terr_: the ubuntu installer is gui based, and the non-gui installer is on a seperate cd that does not have ssh installed on it
[05:01] <terr_> ikonia: wht sort of crap is that?
[05:01] <wayStead> jero- i used 8.10 and using a penitum M 2.0 ghz 2gb ram (gave ubuntu 512mb)
[05:01] <ikonia> terr_: it's a home user desktop system
[05:02] <terr_> ikonia: I'll build my own CD
[05:02] <MaxRide> terr_: The server I just recommended you is configured via a browser...so it's easy to learn (If you can configure a WRT54G, then you can config this)....you can also console in and get the full linux experience
[05:02] <ScottG489> I have ubuntu 8.10
[05:02] <atom^x> deserteagle, perhaps rename xorg.conf to xorg.backup, ten rename xorg.conf.failsafe to xorg.conf
[05:02] <terr_> MaxRide: I'll have a look... checking now.
[05:03] <jero> wayStead - then you want to use jeOS and do apt-get install Xorg, apt get install xdm, apt get install icewm  - jeOS 8.04 or 7.10 - 8.10 or 9.04 are SLOW!
[05:03] <jero> wayStead - also ubuntu 8.04 will be faster than 8.10
[05:03] <jero> in the vbox
[05:03] <MaxRide> terr_: By the way: What are your requirements?  HTML serving? Samba? FTP? E-Mail?
[05:03] <deserteagle> atom^x: now at least the X cursor shows up in the middle of the screen (won't move when i move the mouse) any sugestions?
[05:04] <terr_> MaxRide: all of the above
[05:04] <GeffIsLegend> none of those links are helping me with skype, i already tried all the support links and i still keep getting "problem with audio playback" error
[05:04] <atom^x> deserteagle, you might try to reconfigure X as well, xorg-conf i think
[05:04] <outbackwifi> !hi
[05:04] <MaxRide> terr_: Well, Cobalts do FTP, E-mail, Web sites, DNS, ETC....I think you'll need to do some hacking (well, installing) for Samba.
[05:04] <jero> Newfie_rich - maybe you want to do it with gedit then - try sudo gedit /etc/environment    -- replace gedit with your prefered editor like vim vi nano etc
[05:05] <wayStead> jero - i dont get what u said about jeOS,. whats apt-get ?
[05:05] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: no dice "Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic has no installation candidate"
[05:05] <deserteagle> atom^x: through the recovery mode or live cd?
[05:05] <terr_> MaxRide: I'll install everything from scratch.. just looking for HW suggestions
[05:05] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: open synaptic and search for it there.. synaptic is in System>Admin
[05:06] <atom^x> deserteagle, i would try recovery mode...
[05:06] <MaxRide> terr_: This hardware may not like that.  No CD-ROM or anything...It's fairly picky.
[05:06] <wayStead> jero - i dont get what u said about jeOS,. whats apt-get ?
[05:06] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: ah. I see the problem.
[05:06] <jero> wayStead - jeOS 8.04 is an about 100mb iso which installs a minimal system without any display manager/environment, but with network access . With apt-get install <package.deb> you can load your own packages and create a lightweight environment
[05:06] <linux_guy> I would like to pin a subfolder from my home folder to the 'Places' directory that you see in the panel.  how can I do this?
[05:06] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: ?
[05:06] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: uname -r is reporting a different kernel
[05:06] <terr_> MaxRide: then I'll say next
[05:06] <linux_guy> ex:  Home, Pictures, video, music, "new folder"
[05:07] <MaxRide> terr_: I also like Dell servers.
[05:07] <MaxRide> terr_: Parts are abundent on Ebay and they aren't very expensive.
[05:07] <jero> wayStead - the packages you need for a lightweight icewm environment i listed to you - Xorg , xdm, icewm - then reboot after you got those with sudo apt-get install
[05:07] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: uname -r = 2.6.24-18-generic while build-essential is doing linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
[05:07] <terr_> MaxRide: Hard to say... generally I don't like Dell.
[05:07] <Kokloco> Hi all
[05:07] <MaxRide> terr_: =/  Well. At my home I use an HP DL360....but HP servers are LOUD!
[05:07] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: you need to reboot into the new kernel
[05:08] <terr_> MaxRide: I have several machines here - jsut they are not small
[05:08] <linux_guy> navigate to parent folder and sudo mv new\ folder "location" ?
[05:08] <Kokloco> I noticed that OpenOffice has been released in version 3.0. The one I have installed is 2.4, and the Update Manager doesnt tell me anything about it, anyone can help me please?
[05:08] <terr_> MaxRide: HP netbook 1000MI  $387 new
[05:08] <nickrud> linux_guy, navigate to the folder, select bookmark -> add bookmark
[05:08] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: ? how do I "reboot into the new kernel"?
[05:08] <MaxRide> terr_: Is this a test platform?
[05:09] <terr_> Is there a channel which specializes in small form factor HW?
[05:09] <terr_> MaxRide: nope - commercial product & runs on Ubuntu.  Impressive
[05:09] <Kokloco> In UButu reposteries I just can find the 2.4, is there any reaso for this?
[05:09] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: the .27-7 kernel looks to be the newest..so just reboot and on the grub menu you should be able to choose.. it's usually the top on the list
[05:09] <nickrud> Kokloco, it should be in the next release; an ubuntu release's packages are 'frozen' on release, and only replaced for major bug reasons
[05:09] <MaxRide> terr_: ....You are making a commercial product?
[05:09] <linux_guy> nickrud, i am officially embarrassed
[05:10] <nickrud> linux_guy, heh. I won't ask you to change your nick ;p
[05:10] <terr_> MaxRide: not at this point - HP has.. 7 watts - netbook
[05:10] <Kokloco> ok,
[05:10] <Kokloco> I as afaraid my system was not working properly
[05:10] <linux_guy> *linux_guy is now known as Captain Obvious
[05:10] <Kokloco> I was afaraid my system was not working properly
[05:10] <nickrud> rflol
[05:10] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: ah... I think I know the problem.... the menu... I had some issues initially... I have multiple drives in my system and it was selecting the wrong drive... so I've been hesitant to let the upgrades change menu.lst (I believe it is)
[05:10] <joshjtl> hi, anyone know how I would go about adding directories to computer:///  found in Places>Computer menu
[05:11] <wayStead> jero - thks again for the help
[05:11] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: been there done that..
[05:11] <Kokloco> nickrud, and when is the new realease comming?
[05:11] <linux_guy> nickrud, thanks man
[05:11] <jero> wayStead good luck with it, VMs are lots of fun
[05:11] <nickrud> joshjtl, only by adding new devices/partitions, that's it's purpose
[05:11] <MaxRide> terr_: Well, the best I can tell you is that if you're trying to run a server on a netbook...than any old desktop will work.
[05:11] <nickrud> !jaunty | Kokloco
[05:11] <jero> wayStead and you can carry them with you on your next system OS independend
[05:11] <terr_> MaxRide: I already run on old desktops and they work greate
[05:11] <Kokloco> nickrud, ok thanks
[05:11] <joshjtl> nickrud: but isnt it a something.desktop file?
[05:12] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: so, based on the fact that i've probably screwed up the menu.lst.... what do I do now? /me raises his arms in frustration with himself for doing system updates late at night
[05:12] <MaxRide> terr_: I'll bet....I'd say stick with them.
[05:12] <nickrud> joshjtl, I don't believe so; but can't swear to it.
[05:12] <joshjtl> because if it is, that can be easily edited
[05:12] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: there is a command .. something like sudo update-grub. but I'm not sure what it is exactly
[05:13] <joshjtl> does anyone have a strong preference of either banshee, or rhythmbox?
[05:13] <joshjtl> I'm trying to decide which to use
[05:13] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: that appears to be it
[05:13] <terr_> MaxRide: I might have to.. but I looked at that UBUNTU netbook and it got me thinking.  Even a computer on a chip like a 133mHz class machine will suffice
[05:14] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: cool
[05:14] <nazmul> hh
[05:14] <MaxRide> terr_: In the Navy, we had webservers on laptops (Seriously....desinged that way)....so it should work.
[05:14] <Titan8990> terr_: not for ubuntu... some linux distros
[05:14] <majortool> I have a laptop that uses hardware signals to determine if the earphone jack has something plugged in.  It's not working in Linux.  Anyone know about this issue?

[05:15] <joshjtl> !banshee
[05:15] <Titan8990> majortool: linux uses alsa, open source drivers, they are not the same as the closed source drivers in windows
[05:15] <Titan8990> !alsa | majortool
[05:15] <majortool> Titan8990, I know about also.  This is a hardware signal issue.  This probably has little to do with alsa.  I have sound through the speakers.
[05:16] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: is there a good way for me to determine which drive (hd0,4) or (hd1,4) is the one I'm currently using?
[05:16] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: check the link I gave you.. It has a whole run down on the how to's.
[05:16] <ScottG489> I have ubuntu 8.10. So every time I hibernate it says that there isnt enough swap and sends me back to a locked screen login. Right now I have 4GB of RAM and 4 GB of swap (which is probaby too much but the ubuntu swap page said that you should have as much or twice as much swap then you do RAM). I originally installed to have 1.5 gigs of swap but then followed the swap faq to make more (2.5 to make it 4 total). So anyways now
[05:16] <ScottG489> when I swap it very frequently says there isnt enough space. Its usually when I have quite a few programs open (or firefox with a lot of tabs) but I have checked my memory before using "free" before and after i tried to swap and the results were me having 3.4 gigs of RAM free and 3.0 gigs of swap free. So I dont understand how it could be telling me I didnt have enough swap free. Any help?
[05:17] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: k, thanks. :-)
[05:17] <Titan8990> majortool: I thought you were referring the notification some windows drivers have when an audio device is connected
[05:17] <joshjtl> how can I make synaptic uninstall all dependencies installed by a particular application. So when I install something, then decide I don't want it, it removes those dependencies that were only installed because that app needed them.
[05:17] <Titan8990> joshjtl: sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:18] <Titan8990> joshjtl: that removes uneeded dependencies
[05:18] <joshjtl> Titan8990: is that an app? autoremove
[05:18] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: good luck.. I use to use vmware quite a bit until I had issues with one of the versions that just wouldn't work.. so I switched to virtualbox.. oh by the way.. install dkms  .. it will help with kernel upgrades
[05:18] <majortool> Titan8990, yes that is what I am talking about.  Alsa is the driver that facilitates audio connectivity to the kernel.  I don't believe it handles signals for plugged in hardware directly.
[05:18] <kindofabuzz> joshjtl, built into aptitude
[05:18] <Titan8990> joshjtl: open the terminal and copy and paste that
[05:18] <skate2> what does <super> mean in gnome keyboard shortcut terms?
[05:18] <joshjtl> Titan8990: I don't just run commands without knowing what they are... I'm no newb
[05:19] <constantine> hi all
[05:19] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: will virtualbox run an existing vmx?
[05:19] <nickrud> skate2, the windows key
[05:19] <mikeshollen> windows key skate
[05:19] <kindofabuzz> joshjtl, man apt-get =)
[05:19] <joshjtl> but now I know
[05:19] <joshjtl> kindofabuzz: uh I know what apt-get is
[05:19] <mikeshollen> skate2: next to alt
[05:19] <joshjtl> I was asking about something else
[05:19] <Titan8990> majortool: yes, that is handled by alsa modules as well, the most common in snd_hda_intel
[05:19] <kindofabuzz> joshjtl, it how you install stuff
[05:19] <kindofabuzz> from repos
[05:19] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: I had issues with the.. never followed up on it to figure out. so I just reintalled creating new vm's
[05:19] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: because honestly... this entire adventure is so I can boot XP to run Civilization 3 Complete!
[05:19] <esworp> Is there a tool that I can see EXIF info from photos for ubuntu?  does gimp do it?
[05:19] <kindofabuzz> joshjtl, just run sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:19] <joshjtl> kindofabuzz: uh I know dude...
[05:20] <joshjtl> sheesh
[05:20] <Titan8990> joshjtl: I told you what it did..... it removes uneeded dependencies, if you would like to know more, type: man apt-get    into the terminal
[05:20] <kindofabuzz> joshjtl, well why did you just say you didn't know what it was?
[05:20] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: vbox has usb support if  you need it only if you install the version from thier website.
[05:20] <Titan8990> joshjtl: or also apt-get --help
[05:20] <joshjtl> wow
[05:20] <constantine> lol can i ask a q because I see like 6 being answered

[05:20] <dstrbdfrk1> acer aspire one...need wireless card help
[05:20] <prince_jammys> ha
[05:20] <scunizi> AndrewGearhart: vbox is lighter weight.. prettier.. easier.. etc.. vmware has a lot that you won't use.
[05:20] <ABoba> dstrbdfrk1, go to www.aspireoneuser.com, they have ubuntu forums
[05:21] <constantine> I'm as new as it gets in ubuntu.......I'm tryin to get the visual effects to work but they aren't

[05:21] <Bobblybook> need help creating a script to run at startup, a bit lost..
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  what its supposed to do exactly?
[05:22] <AndrewGearhart> scunizi: definitely what I saw with vmware server... seems like it would be cool... but not something I really actually need... I just need occassional access to the dark ages (when I used windows because I didn't know about Linux)
[05:22] <nexxt_> Anyone around to help with Ubuntu 8.10 sound issue?
[05:22] <Bobblybook> modprobe 2 modules and echo 1 to a file
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  the /etc/rc.local file can do that easially enough
[05:22] <Titan8990> Bobblybook: there is a config file for loading modules
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  but modules can be loaded automatically from a differnt method/file also.
[05:23] <Dr_willis> !module
[05:23] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. what is that factoid..
[05:23] <musikgoat|main> !modules
[05:23] <prince_jammys> try 'modules'
[05:23] <prince_jammys> there
[05:23] <Bobblybook> Titan8990: is that what Dr_willis is talking about?
[05:23] <nexxt_> Anyone around to help with Ubuntu 8.10 sound issue? Lost sound after 4 months of sound working
[05:23] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis: I'll take a look at that file

[05:23] <nickrud> Dr_willis, /etc/modules
[05:24] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  then theres /etc/rc.local to auto-run stuff No sudo needed

[05:29] <Looter> I have a problem with Vista and Ubuntu in a dualboot configuration.......
[05:29] <MaxRide> Looter: Although, I think there was just a split or something.
[05:29] <Looter> two separate hard drives.
[05:29] <Torikun> If anyone is looking for Norton Ghost solutions for Linux, send me a direct message
[05:30] <Looter> I agree (About teh split) dropping like flies

[05:32] <Looter> I can boot from grub fine and the option for vista shows up there but when i click on teh vista optino in grub it just takes me to the vista boot loader.   There It lists Vista and XP (xp was on teh hard drive that Ubuntu has now been put on)  When I click on vista from the vista boot loader i get a winload.exe missing error.  I ve ran the repair off the cd and nothign.  I can moutn the vista drive from within ubuntu so I see all
[05:32] <Looter> properly dualboot

[05:34] <Looter> anyone want to take a crack at my dualboot problem?

[05:35] <binarymutant> if I have a diff that includes a bunch of files in a directory how do I patch with this diff? how do I patch a directory
[05:35] <Titan8990> nexxt_: well, according the wiki page ubuntu doesn't need an alsaconf command after loading modules.... have you tested it?
[05:36] <arvind_khadri> constantine: you can use synaptic to install :)

[05:36] <nexxt_> titan yah same error when i try alsamixer
[05:37] <constantine> ubottu: thanks much
[05:38] <MaxRide> =)
[05:38] <binarymutant> nevermind my question sorry
[05:39] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis: ok one thing before I reboot and test it out: how would I call another script file from within rc.local? (It's a wpa_supplicant script, if that matters.)
[05:39] <nexxt_> root@zomg:/etc/init.d# aplay -l
[05:39] <nexxt_> aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...
[05:39] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  sh whatever.script   or '/path/to/whatever/script &'   note the &
[05:39] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  you may want ' sh whatever.script &   '
[05:41] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis, so if my script is in /Documents/wifi/scriptname, it would look like:         sh /Documents/wifi/scriptname &
[05:41] <constantine> ok I ran simple-ccsm and went to custom and it rebooted me!
[05:41] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  you SURE thtas the right path?  why sould you have a /DOcuments directory?  sure you dont mean /home/username/Documents/whatever ?
[05:41] <jhesketh_> What is a good distribution for the Asus Aspire One? Looking at the Ubuntu wiki there is a lot of terminal work required to get it going... is there an aspire derivative of ubuntu?
[05:42] <Dr_willis> jhesketh_,  that eeebuntu works well for me.. and the AcerAspireOne Puppy variant also works well.. then theres the  One that comes with them. :)
[05:42] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis, yes that's what I mean. Wasn't sure whether I needed the absolute path
[05:42] <loafers> How do I use VMware Player on Ubuntu?  The only files available for download are .rpm and .bundle, which don't open.
[05:42] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  when in doubt use the full path
[05:42] <arvind_khadri> constantine: you dont need to run it...System->preferences->compiz manager
[05:42] <shinshaila> hello whats the fastest way to get wine on my pc
[05:42] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis: ok. The syntax is correct though?
[05:43] <arvind_khadri> loafers: use virtualbox
[05:43] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  looks right.. be sure the CaSe Is CoRrEct :)
[05:43] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis: ofcourse :) BRB.

[05:44] <Cpudan80> constantine: play with the settings!
[05:44] <arvind_khadri> constantine: check out the settings there....
[05:44] <constantine> isnt' that a bug if ubuntu is rebooting when I hit custom, though?
[05:44] <Looter> dualboot issues...am I wasting my time?  I know that probably sound slike a can of worms but can I get someone to at least attempt to give me some help?
[05:44] <loafers> arvind_khadri, Yes I'm aware of vbox, but usb is not supported on ose and I spent many nights getting it to detect cd in the cdrom, so that's why i don't want to use it
[05:44] <Yuva> is there any way to increase the size of the /usr directory i am running of space..:(
[05:45] <shinshaila> i have to manually run dpkg b how do i do that
[05:45] <Dr_willis> Yuva,  you got /usr on its own parittion?
[05:45] <arvind_khadri> loafers: then you will have to compile VMware... and ya iirc to run vbox there is a separate kernel
[05:45] <arvind_khadri> shinshaila: sudo dpkg
[05:45] <Yuva> Dr_willis: yes
[05:46] <loafers> I could never get my cdrom to work for vbox
[05:46] <shinshaila> thank you
[05:46] <arvind_khadri> shinshaila: sudo dpkg <options> <filename>
[05:46] <Yuva> Dr_willis: dev/sdb3
[05:46] <Dr_willis> Yuva,  then you resize the parittion not the directory. :) gparted can do tht.. You may have to correct fstab , if the uuid changes
[05:46] <Dr_willis> Yuva,  andyou may want to use a live cd + gparted to do the resizing
[05:46] <constantine> thanks for your help y'all I'll be back for the real learning
[05:47] <constantine> this OS is redonkulus good
[05:47] <arvind_khadri> constantine: :)
[05:49] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis: Success! Thanks. Now, I don't suppose you have any experience with wpa_supplicant?
[05:50] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  never used it. never needed it
[05:50] <Yuva> Dr_willis: i have ubuntu live cd is that contain gparted
[05:50] <Dr_willis> Yuva,  you can always apt-get install gparted if its not installed
[05:50] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis: as in, used something else for WPA, or never used WPA/wireless?
[05:50] <arvind_khadri> Yuva: no ... you will have to install it..
[05:51] <Yuva> Dr_willis: cd is  read only memory na... how will it work?? sorry if i am wrong:P
[05:52] <Dr_willis> Yuva,  ram man... ram.. :)
[05:52] <Dr_willis> Bobblybook,  ive not had to fight with wireless much.. if it dident work.. i used wires :) but now wireless for the most part just works for my machines
[05:52] <constantine> ubuntu is still restarting when I make the compiz changes
[05:53] <Out_Cold> so i have been trying to get my TV going with 'xrandr --output TV --auto' and the TV responds to the output with a flicker.. but it's a black screen.
[05:53] <Yuva> Dr_willis: after editing how can i find th UID of the partition to edit the fstab
[05:53] <Bobblybook> Dr_willis, is wpa_supplicant still needed to use WPA encryption for networks? I'm running 8.10 intrepid now, but the guides I read might be old.
[05:53] <Out_Cold> anyone know what the + is in the xrandr output?

[06:07] <prince_jammys> CheesyWeasel: what you're talking about isn't so easy to accomplish. gui clients like what you mention in the forum have mechanisms to communicate with other stuff in the desktop environments
[06:07] <CheesyWeasel> prince_jammys: i almost killed myself in there, the only active person was a complete moron
[06:07] <prince_jammys> CheesyWeasel: ah, ok
[06:07] <CheesyWeasel> Flannel: gconf?
[06:07] <Flannel> CheesyWeasel: yeah
[06:08] <Flannel> CheesyWeasel: That's the only other place something like that would be.
[06:08] <CheesyWeasel> drawing a blank on that...
[06:08] <CheesyWeasel> how do i check gconf?
[06:09] <Flannel> CheesyWeasel: sudo apt-get install gconf-editor then run gconf-editor
[06:09] <CheesyWeasel> ah
[06:09] <CheesyWeasel> k just a sec
[06:10] <CheesyWeasel> Flannel: k, where do i look?
[06:11] <Flannel> CheesyWeasel: Not really sure
[06:11] <CheesyWeasel> theres a LOT there...
[06:11] <aksci> how should i get voice support into empathy?
[06:11] <shinshaila> now it tells me--configure is an unrecognized option
[06:11] <prince_jammys> CheesyWeasel: what you'll probably need is a notification-daemon, and a script
[06:12] <CheesyWeasel> ugh. this is a lot more work that i expected
[06:12] <Flannel> CheesyWeasel: apps/gnome-terminal I think
[06:13] <bn43> does anyone know how to modify the pon script to add more commands?  I need to restart ntop on redial
[06:13] <CheesyWeasel> Flannel: yeah...
[06:13] <wolter> how can i view the bash color code of my PS1 ?
[06:14] <CheesyWeasel> Flannel: looking, not finding anything
[06:14] <prince_jammys> wolter: echo it
[06:15] <wolter> prince_jammys, well, it shows no color code.
[06:15] <pano_fi> 'lo guys
[06:15] <prince_jammys> wolter: is it in color?
[06:15] <CheesyWeasel> ARGH
[06:15] <CheesyWeasel> oh well
[06:15] <wolter> prince_jammys, well, the color that I chose in the profile..
[06:15] <CheesyWeasel> i guess not haha :(
[06:15] <wolter> i am using gnome-terminal
[06:15] <CheesyWeasel> thanks Flannel
[06:16] <prince_jammys> http://pthree.org/2007/03/21/irssi-gui-notify/
[06:16] <prince_jammys> bah
[06:16] <^cheeky> hi, i installed lm-sensors and i did the detection and said yes to everything and rebooted, when i run the program i dont see anything like my fan speed etc etc.. here is what it looks like: http://pastebin.ca/1330550, is this how its supposed to look like and if its not , what can i do to fix it ?
[06:17] <arvind_khadri> Flannel: gconf is gconf-editor
[06:17] <pano_fi> I have a problem with something about dpkg, it shows three kernel images as installed but they are not installed anymore, and it refuses to remove them... is there any way to notify dpkg that those pkgs are not there anymore?
[06:18] <prince_jammys> wolter: ah, you set the prompt through gnome-terminal
[06:18] <wolter> prince_jammys, yeah, but i want my user@machine:-$ to be in white
[06:18] <^cheeky> oh sorry, iam also using ubuntu 8.10
[06:18] <Flannel> pano_fi: How did you remove them?
[06:19] <Dr_willis> wolter,  read the 'bash prompt howto' :) it gives massive amount of info on that topic
[06:19] <pano_fi> Flannel: with apt-get --purge remove
[06:19] <Dr_willis> wolter,  and a few 100 example prompts
[06:19] <pano_fi> Flannel: did it on several systems and always worked nicely, dunno what happened this time
[06:20] <chunty> can anyone recommend a decent AI bot?
[06:20] <Dr_willis> chunty,  to do what exactly?
[06:20] <so> net
[06:21] <chunty> learn based off of conversations
[06:21] <pano_fi> ^cheeky: it could be due to your hardware missing (supported) sensors
[06:21] <nexxt_> Titan btw i installed OSS from source and it fixed the sound problem
[06:21] <prince_jammys> wolter:try  PS1=$(tput setaf 8)$PS1$(tput sgr0) in your shell
[06:21] <^cheeky> pano_fi, this is a new machine i put together was hoping it would have sensors :/
[06:21] <prince_jammys> wolter: ah, no. there's more
[06:21] <constantine> can't get compiz to work due to my vm, can i get the visual effects any other way using a vm?
[06:22] <wolter> prince_jammys, well, i got the color back
[06:22] <wolter> whats that?
[06:22] <ikonia> ^cheeky: just because it's new doesn't mean it will have sensors support
[06:22] <prince_jammys> wolter:should have been  PS1="\[$(tput setaf 8)\]$PS1$\[(tput sgr0)\]"
[06:23] <prince_jammys> wolter: but you'd have to start another shell first
[06:23] <bn43> anyone using pon to dialup?
[06:23] <wolter> prince_jammys, nah, it works right away
[06:23] <wolter> prince_jammys, but, is the setaf 8 command restoring the gnome-terminal color?
[06:23] <wolter> or which command then?
[06:23] <^cheeky> ikonia, so there isnt anything i can do ?
[06:24] <prince_jammys> wolter: yeah, but if you try the second (correct) one, you should do it in a new shell
[06:24] <prince_jammys> wolter: tput gets the escape sequences from the terminfo database. setaf sets the foreground
[06:24] <wolter> prince_jammys, ok, so tput setaf 8 restores color
[06:24] <wolter> ahh hm
[06:24] <wolter> and the 8?
[06:24] <prince_jammys> wolter: no, sgr0 does
[06:25] <mib_j28yrq> Hello
[06:25] <prince_jammys> wolter: try other numbers. echo "$(tput setaf 2)hello$(tput sgr0)"
[06:25] <ikonia> ^cheeky: not if it's not supported
[06:25] <^cheeky> ikonia, ok thank you
[06:25] <wolter> prince_jammys, the tput sgr0 doesn't execute, but rather it appears as part of the prompt
[06:25] <mib_j28yrq> How are you
[06:26] <mib_j28yrq> I'm is Aun
[06:26] <prince_jammys> wolter: oops, the dollar sign is in the wrong place
[06:27] <wolter> prince_jammys, where should i put it?
[06:27] <quibbler> mib_j28yrq: hello
[06:27] <prince_jammys> wolter: (new shell) PS1="\[$(tput setaf 8)\]$PS1\[$(tput sgr0)\]"
[06:28] <wolter> prince_jammys, that does nothing
[06:28] <mib_j28yrq> quibbler : Where do you live?
[06:28] <wolter> prince_jammys, but i think i get it
[06:28] <quibbler> mib_j28yrq: Nederland
[06:28] <Daft_Punk> is there any way to get a menu bar with tint2? ive seen screenshots with something similar to tint2 with a menubar and task tray that was not trayer
[06:28] <prince_jammys> wolter: i don't know what role your terminal settings are playing. i normally set it "by hand"
[06:29] <wolter> prince_jammys, well, now i know how to change color, but, where do i get the table of what setaf does?
[06:29] <Fezzler> just upgraded Hardy to Intrepid.  Impressed with the ease and quality of upgrade!  Seems faster too.
[06:30] <Fezzler> So far, everything works!
[06:30] <wolter> prince_jammys, and, if setaf 8 gives some specific color, then that is the exact color i had for my console
[06:30] <pano_fi> what strange, synaptic solved my issue... what does "mark for complete removal" does different from "sudo apt-get --purge remove" ?
[06:30] <Daft_Punk> Fezzler, are you using custom settings for theme files before the upgrade? IE: your own msn skins for amsn and your own themes for emerald etc...
[06:31] <Fezzler> yes
[06:31] <Daft_Punk> Fezzler, i would update but im scared of my system going fubar
[06:31] <Fezzler> The upgrade process saw custom config files and asked if I wanted to keep or replace
[06:31] <Daft_Punk> Fezzler, what about installed programs
[06:31] <Fezzler> I selected Keep and my look and feel is the same
[06:32] <Sage-X> trying to get friend to try linux and perfers to stay on winblows  playing W0W
[06:32] <Fezzler> Well, I ran xchat, blender, inkscape all seem fine
[06:32] <Sage-X> I need help with that
[06:32] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, you can play wow on linux using wine... it works perfect
[06:32] <nickrud> Daft_Punk, as long as you don't have 3d party repo stuff, you should be fine for an upgrade
[06:33] <Sage-X> Daft_Punk: thanks bud
[06:33] <Fezzler> my themes and users and logins are all functioning
[06:33] <Daft_Punk> nickrud, i may have some 3rd party stuff
[06:33] <chunty> Can anyone recommend a decent AI bot?
[06:33] <scunizi> Sage-X: load wow on your linux box and let him enter his creds.. and play.. probably faster
[06:33] <Daft_Punk> i have some stuff not in repos
[06:33] <connar> hi Daft_Punk
[06:33] <Daft_Punk> hi connar
[06:33] <Sage-X> lol
[06:33] <connar> Daft_Punk: i need to know my internet traffic
[06:33] <nickrud> Daft_Punk, depends on how library version specific those compiled programs are then
[06:34] <Sage-X> Scunizi: thanks of course it will run faster =)
[06:34] <Daft_Punk> connar, lol why are you asking me? i have no idea
[06:34] <connar> Daft_Punk: is there a command for it?
[06:34] <|Talon|> i installed that package dmraid or draid or whatever it is, anyways im now able to mount my raided drives and browse its content.. but I put it into fstab, exactly how it is listed in /dev/mapper and when i boot, it never mounts... is dmraid not started yet? how would i mount this on boot so I dont haveto sudo mount it every time i restart?
[06:34] <Yuva> hi i want to increase my /usr directory but in gparted it not allowing me to increase the size but it allows me to decrease the size
[06:34] <connar> okay
[06:34] <scunizi> Sage-X: that alone will convince him
[06:34] <Daft_Punk> connar, im not sure why you are asking me, i have no idea about linux honestly, just that Sage-X asked an easy question
[06:34] <connar> Does any1 here have an idea about how to check internet traffic
[06:35] <Daft_Punk> !ask connar
[06:35] <mib_j28yrq> quibbler : Are you play MSN ?
[06:35] <Daft_Punk> doh
[06:35] <Daft_Punk> !ask | connar
[06:35] <prince_jammys> heh
[06:35] <connar> ubottu: okay
[06:35] <Yuva> hi i want to increase my /usr directory but in gparted it not allowing me to increase the size but it allows me to decrease the size ?? help me plaease
[06:35] <quibbler> mib_j28yrq: no
[06:35] <Sage-X> yes it will but I will have some trouble with him cause he thinks he is a "DJ" is there any software out there you guys would suggest
[06:36] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, dj software for linux?
[06:36] <prince_jammys> Yuva: is there space next to the partition for it to grow?
[06:36] <mib_j28yrq> quibble: Why ?
[06:36] <Sage-X> yes
[06:36] <Sage-X> Draft_punk: yea like anything
[06:36] <Yuva> prince_jammys: no /home directory is followed  by that
[06:36] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, lots of mixing software for linux, google "linux dj software" or "linux mixing software"
[06:36] <Sage-X> ok thanks
[06:37] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, also, its daft not draft
[06:37] <scunizi> Sage-X: medibuntu has lots of stuff for mobile dj ,,, recording multitrack etc.
[06:37] <quibbler> mib_j28yrq: this is a support channel, if you wish to just chat please join #ubuntu-offtoics
[06:37] <Sage-X> sorry I have the yuck yellow text for my irc pms and my vrightness is UBER high
[06:37] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, scunizi is talking about a different distro of ubuntu i believe, called medibuntu that is used for media applications mostly
[06:37] <Sage-X> thanks all
[06:37] <prince_jammys> Yuva: well, you need some unused space if you're going to expand the other partition
[06:38] <Yuva> prince_jammys: i have 50gigs of unused partition
[06:38] <Sage-X> hmm
[06:38] <Yuva> prince_jammys: i have 50gigs of unused free space but it is in the end...
[06:38] <core1> ghyfdhdfsfyd
[06:38] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, also tell your friend that linux support is mostly free, even though you can pay for professional support and there is live chat and the official ubuntu forums to post on and browse for issues, also tell him the security is way higher than that of windows
[06:38] <Daft_Punk> no virus :D
[06:38] <core1> kkhjkh
[06:38] <dosnubbie> Problem: My linux kernel is reported as compiled in gcc-4.2.3 VMware's kernels will be compiled with gcc-4.2.4 as such it doesn't want to work how do I get gcc-4.2.4 when aptitude only shows 4.2?
[06:38] <prince_jammys> Yuva: you'll have to move the stuff around then, i think
[06:38] <nerdario2> wassap muh nurdzzz
[06:39] <prince_jammys> Yuva: i've done it before, but i had to juggle the partitions around
[06:39] <Yuva> http://www.mibbit.com/pb/elqC3X my fdisk -l
[06:39] <Daft_Punk> is there any way to get a menu bar with tint2? ive seen screenshots with something similar to tint2 with a menubar and task tray that was not trayer
[06:41] <Sage-X> Daft_Punk: yes I told him it was free and better security but being 16 and trying to reach out to my hard-headed friend I cant get through to him without a hard bargin
[06:41] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, smack him
[06:41] <Yuva> prince_jammys: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/elqC3X my fdisk -l
[06:41] <prince_jammys> Sage-X: if he's really into sound mixing, he'll probably find the linux alternatives substandard
[06:41] <Sage-X> Daft_Punk: or just SSH over some DDos xD
[06:42] <scunizi> argg.. how do I close a pm window in irssi?
[06:42] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, with the new ubuntu intrepid version, you can use the installer disc to install ubuntu on his computer as a program on windows, so he can test it out without changing anything
[06:42] <Sage-X> prince_jammys: thnx
[06:42] <Sage-X> k I got my cd
[06:42] <Sage-X> I can give it to him and its his choice wether to use it or not
[06:43] <Daft_Punk> tell him just to install it as a program first on windows, also he can boot to the cd and use the live feature to test it out, also probably show him some screen shots of some custom ubuntu desktops that look wicked
[06:43] <prince_jammys> why are you so bent on him installing ubuntu if he doesn't want to, anyway?
[06:44] <Sage-X> Daft_Punk: I think I just have to do it with him and do the "install inside of windows" option
[06:44] <Daft_Punk> prince_jammys, because windows simply sucks... its a multiconglamorate corporation out to get your money with the uber lame releases of windows that upon them "trying" fail to release a GOOD version
[06:44] <prince_jammys> yeah, and ...
[06:44] <Sage-X> windows has print code in the assembly cursing gates lol
[06:44] <prince_jammys> then you get stuck feeling like you have to fix any problem he has
[06:44] <Daft_Punk> prince_jammys, dont you want all your friends to be converted? i surely do
[06:44] <prince_jammys> Daft_Punk: no, i don't convert people
[06:45] <Daft_Punk> prince_jammys, naw, tell him to rtfm
[06:45] <Daft_Punk> prince_jammys, you are a pure one
[06:45] <prince_jammys> if they have an interest in it, i can help
[06:45] <prince_jammys> if they don't, i don't force the issue
[06:45] <Daft_Punk> the world would be a better place if EVERYONE used linux and m$ didnt exist
[06:46] <prince_jammys> in part because i know linux is not for everyone, and also because i don't want to be guilt-tripped into full-time support
[06:46] <bindaas> add the third dimension to that :soalris
[06:46] <Sage-X> afk
[06:46] <nerdario2> scunizi: type /q
[06:46] <bindaas> solaris*
[06:46] <Daft_Punk> prince_jammys, fair enough
[06:46] <nerdario2> in the querry window
[06:47] <prince_jammys> Daft_Punk: plus, there are certain fields where linux doesn't shine so much (games, the music mixing he was talking about)
[06:47] <prince_jammys> don't get me wrong. i've been running linux exclusively for years
[06:47] <Daft_Punk> prince_jammys, oh for sure
[06:48] <Daft_Punk> prince_jammys, but you can substitute that with mac osx ;)
[06:48] <prince_jammys> there you go
[06:48] <prince_jammys> :)
[06:48] <Sage-X> mac osx is a bomb riddled with BSD all over it
[06:48] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, not if you use mac hardware
[06:49] <Daft_Punk> mac hardware is specially designed for their software, if you run mac osx on a non-mac pc, yeah bsd
[06:49] <Sage-X> Daft_Punk: oh yeh besides it requires poopy hardware for expensive prices
[06:49] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, actually the hardware designed for the mac is higher quality than your average run of the mill pc
[06:49] <Sage-X> my i7 pc can run osx
[06:49] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, that is ONE reason it is higher priced
[06:49] <Daft_Punk> Sage-X, just because it can, doesnt mean it should :p
[06:49] <Flannel> Daft_Punk, Sage-X: mind taking this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic?  thanks
[06:50] <Daft_Punk> sorry sir
[06:50]  * Daft_Punk salutes Flannel
[06:50] <Quicken2k> how does one fix "must be root (or fake root) when converting .rpms to .deb?
[06:50] <Sage-X> Daft_Punk: shure obviously a jobs fan I got a mac too
[06:50] <Sage-X> its ok
[06:51] <arvind_khadri> Quicken2k: why do you want to do so?
[06:51] <arvind_khadri> Quicken2k: what are you trying to convert?
[06:51] <arvind_khadri> Quicken2k: as in which package
[06:51] <Quicken2k> have my intel (video) driver that's rpm ubuntu needs to convert it to deb
[06:52] <tritium> Quicken2k: no, ubuntu has its own intel video driver packages.
[06:53] <Quicken2k> that's funny it didn't find mine on install 82845G
[06:53] <UndertakerX2> should i use "apt-get install memcached php5-memcache" to install memcache?
[06:53] <arvind_khadri> Quicken2k: google it and you will find
[06:53] <Quicken2k> K
[06:55] <lain_wired> hiya all.
[06:56] <lain_wired> I accidentally set my resolution way too low and now i can't really see the parts of the screen i'd need to change it back. :\
[06:56] <lain_wired> So I'm thinking cli, right? except apparently reconfiguring xserver-xorg doesn't help,
[06:58] <OmnipotentEntity> hi, dumb question, I'm trying to write a one liner to rename all of the files containing the word 'bad' to good whatever it was: example badpidgeon.jpg becomes goodpidgeon.jpg.  I've come up with this but it isn't working, any tips: find . -name "bad*" -exec mv '{}' `echo '{}' | sed 's/bad/good/'` \;
[06:59] <prince_jammys> OmnipotentEntity: can't go about it that way
[06:59] <prince_jammys> find is not a shell, so your pipeline won't work
[07:00] <prince_jammys> OmnipotentEntity: go to #bash
[07:03] <wolter> how do i get the deskop items to look for binaries on the PATH ?
[07:04] <linlin> i have an existing software raid0 array of 2 drives, and i am looking to add 3 more drives to this array.  can that be done without rebuilding the entire array?
[07:04] <Mr_Cool59> does anybody know of a way to get a x-fi notebook to work with ubuntu 8.10
[07:05] <adante> hi
[07:06] <adante> my system has gone wierd because it is trying to boot from a nonexistent uuid
[07:06] <adante> i booted the livecd and hit rescue and while there is a "Rescue Mode" up the top is appears to be trying to completely reinstall linux?
[07:06] <TimStarling> my video brightness hotkeys don't work, anyone know what package would be responsible?
[07:07] <adante> how can i just get a working environment so i may e.g. mount my boot partition and inspect the grub.conf? i have tried alt+F2 to another terminal but when i try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot it says invalid argument?
[07:07] <wolter> how do i get launchers to use the binaries in $PATH?
[07:07] <bitfish> wolter, use the absolute path
[07:08] <wolter> bitfish, but can't i make desktop files look for binaries on the $PATH ?
[07:08] <bitfish> wolter, sure, *if* they are *in* $PATH
[07:08] <wolter> bitfish, there are in $PATH..
[07:09] <wolter> bitfish, i can run the binaries from terminal, but cannot from the desktop files.
[07:09] <adante> how do i mount things in the rescue cd?
[07:10] <adante> i try "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot" and it fails with an invalid argument
[07:10] <bitfish> wolter, it doesn't make any sense to run cli-only applications from a desktop file
[07:10] <bitfish> like, running "top" from a desktop file
[07:11] <wolter> bitfish, thats not the case. And I am not asking you whether is has or has not any sense, but just how to do it.
[07:11] <wolter> bitfish, I have applications installed on my home path, which have launchers in a folder that is added to $PATH which I can run from terminal, but I want to be able to just write the command on the desktop files, but I am not.
[07:12] <__brett> Anyone know how to get pretty eye candy themes on ubuntu, with a dock and transparent windows?
[07:13] <wolter> __brett, you can get a fancy dock, and something better than a dock, by downloading gnome-do
[07:14] <__brett> How do I get more options for pretty themes, i dont see any in the System>Pref>Appearance
[07:14] <prince_jammys> OmnipotentEntity: that's a great channel, by the way, with a great wiki and faq (whenever it gets fixed)
[07:14] <heLEO> is linux newbie allowed here..??
[07:14] <psywiped> hello ubuntu comunity
[07:14] <Ascavasaion> Everyone asks me what verison of Ubuntu I have on... Hardy Heron, etc... Does it make a difference if I run all the updates when they are required?
[07:14] <wolter> __brett, you have to download them
[07:14] <scunizi> heLEO: ok.. we
[07:15] <quibbler> !hi
[07:15] <psywiped> yes asc
[07:15] <scunizi> heLEO: we'll let you in just for tonight
[07:15] <adante> hi guys is the server install cd capable of acting as a rescue cd?
[07:15] <scunizi> :)
[07:15] <psywiped> because unless you tell it to update it wont
[07:15] <adante> i can't like figure out how to get into an environment where i can do something uesful from it?
[07:15] <heLEO> scunizi: thankks :/
[07:15] <heLEO> thanks;)
[07:15] <psywiped> it will just update the programs and not the base parts of ubuntu
[07:15] <scunizi> adante: it's not a live cd so no
[07:15] <bwayne> adante:  would you like to chroot into your workstation environment from a livecd?
[07:16] <scunizi> heLEO: you have any questions just throw them out there and if anyone knows the answer they wil
[07:16] <prince_jammys> OmnipotentEntity: that's a great channel, by the way, with a great wiki and faq (whenever it gets fixed)
[07:16] <Ascavasaion> psycodad: How do you tell it to update?
[07:16] <adante> bwayne: i just want to get to an environment where i can say mount my boot partition, open the grub menu.lst and change the uuids because i think they have changed for some bizarre and largely incomprehensible to me reason
[07:16] <OmnipotentEntity> prince_jammys, thanks. :D
[07:16] <Bi_bRo_pklg_> hi
[07:16] <psywiped> is there a gui for remote server file magament so i can move stuff between folders on the server or is it all command line?
[07:16] <heLEO> scunizi: if i delete my home partiton and create a  new home partition will my OS boot?
[07:17] <psywiped> no heleo
[07:17] <adante> bwayne: i tried booting the server cd and going to the rescue option and it looked like it wanted to reinstall all of linux so i decided to back out because there is infact stuff on there i'd like to keep
[07:17] <bwayne> adante: any livecd will accomplish that.
[07:17] <psywiped> adante go download the regular live cd
[07:17] <scunizi> heLEO: are you trying to move you /home?  is that the reason you're doing that?
[07:17] <adante> heh ok
[07:17] <bwayne> adante: when you get to the menu, press ctrl-2
[07:17] <adante> was hoping to not have to download as i'm not on a big pipe here
[07:17] <psywiped> no not trying to move home wanting to move some files inside of home without reuploading them
[07:18] <bwayne> adante:  when you boot from the server cd, you ought to be able to change tty's.
[07:18] <adante> bwayne: ok
[07:18] <bwayne> adante: from there you can mount /root and vim grub.conf
[07:18] <heLEO> scunizi: i want to increate my /usr  directory  but /home is followed by it so cant able increase the size thats y..:P
[07:19] <adante> bwayne: in the meantime when i try to boot now it can't find my root uuid, now i am trying to 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot' and it says error invalid argument, any idea why?
[07:19] <heLEO> i want to increate my /usr directory size  but /usr is followed by/home  so cant able increase the size thats y..
[07:19] <prince_jammys> heLEO: yeah, you can do that. but you could also shrink the /home partition
[07:19] <nubuntu> sifhs
[07:19] <prince_jammys> heLEO: you don't have to delete it. anyway, if you choose to, it won't ruin the OS
[07:20] <bwayne> adante: you may need to create /mnt/boot before you attempt to mount to that point.
[07:20] <n8tuser> anyone remember how to tell VMware that I have two nics and it should use the 2nd nic eth1 instead of defaulting to eth0 -- so my guest can acquire the ip addr range of the 2nd ip also (bridge) ?
[07:21] <adante> bwayne: yeah that directory does exist
[07:21] <scunizi> heLEO: without really messing things up you could create a new partition large enough for /usr and point the system there.. or if you have enough space make a new partition for /home .. move your files.. redo /etc/fstab to reflect the new /home location and uuid #. shrink the old home after a reboot to the new home and increase /usr.  not sure why you need to increase /usr.. what's going in there that takes so much room?
[07:21] <heLEO> prince_jammys: my gparted image http://i40.tinypic.com/xbn0hc.png give me  solution to increase the /usr directory
[07:21] <bwayne> adante: and fdisk -l returns the drive as /dev/sda?
[07:21] <adante> where is the grub manual for the menu.lst file?
[07:22] <bwayne> adante: try man menu.lst or man grub.conf
[07:22] <heLEO> bwayne: is menu.lst and grub.conf are same??
[07:22] <prince_jammys> heLEO: you could resize it to make space for the other one
[07:22] <adante> bwayne: hm i have no entries for either of those
[07:22] <bwayne> heLEO: in a lot of distro's, menu.lst is a symlink to grub.conf.
[07:23] <freazer> hi all! every time I run e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1 I get new inode errors, even if I run the command two times in a row - I just finished a 22 hour e2fsck -cc check and _no_ bad blocks were found! what's going on?
[07:23] <ZiRiS> Anyone available for help with a serious video problem? (x won't even load)
[07:23] <ZiRiS> pm me, plz
[07:24] <psywiped> no not trying to move home wanting to move some files inside of home without reuploading them
[07:24] <adante> wow
[07:24] <psywiped> dammit wrong repost
[07:24] <psywiped> is there a gui for remote server file magament so i can move stuff between folders on the server or is it all command line?
[07:24] <bwayne> adante:  you don't have /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf ?
[07:24] <adante> is there like an up to date copy of the grub config on the web? would somebody mind pointing it out to me?
[07:25] <adante> bwayne: well my boot is not mounted so no, at the moment i'm in the busybox shell that you get into when booting fails because my uuids have changed
[07:25] <adante> bwayne: (i think)
[07:25] <heLEO> prince_jammys: can delete the whole extended partition after increasing the size of /usr and create new /home will that work... i dont have any content in /home .. yesterday oly installed Linux ;)
[07:25] <prince_jammys> psywiped: there's gui ftp servers aplenty, if you're using ftp
[07:25] <ZiRiS> adante: google: supergrub
[07:25] <prince_jammys> psywiped: err.. ftp clients, i meant
[07:26] <bwayne> adante: yeah, you need supergrubdisc
[07:26] <TiZ> Hi. I'm working on a little window setup for my computer that puts a fullscreen gnome-terminal on workspace 4, and fullscreen quodlibet on workspace 3 (not sure if i'll keep either, mostly messing around). Thing is, though, I use compiz. And I also play games. I have a script that switches to metacity to play a game, then switches back. I also need to switch to metacity manually in the case that I need to run a game with no shortcut made for i
[07:26] <TiZ> t yet. I was wondering if I could run devilspie with compiz on so that whenever I switched to metacity, it would move the windows where they need to be
[07:26] <bwayne> automagic grub fixation
[07:26] <psywiped> well im looking to move files between folders on the server with a gui
[07:26] <prince_jammys> heLEO: why don't you just shrink the /home partition? you can do that with gparted
[07:26] <psywiped> i dont think sftp is set up for that
[07:26] <darkblue_B> Q. trying to figure out how to mount a firewire ieee1394 drive.. In /proc/devices I see a ieee1394 item, but I cant match it to anything in /dev .. ???
[07:26] <freazer> psywiped: if you want to do so on Windows machines you can share your local partitions using SAMBA with full right access - if its between Linux machines there are other protocols like using WinSCP and SSHD (an ssh service)
[07:27] <psywiped> and how do i do it if im off site and loged in thru ssh
[07:27] <freazer> psywiped: if you're between linux machines there's another protocol that's better to use than Samba, but I don't use it because all my friends and family are windows bound >.<
[07:27] <adante> ZiRiS: sorry where is the grub doc exactly there?
[07:27] <prince_jammys> heLEO: just slide it as if you were shrinking a window on your desktop
[07:28] <heLEO> prince_jammys: ok i will give it a try..;)
[07:28] <lockd> how can I build qt4 apps with qmake-qt4? all the include directories get switched to qt3
[07:28] <freazer> psywiped: You can use OpenVPN to tunnel into the machine's home network to directly access Samba and other network shares, or you can use SSH and graphical SSH tools like WinSCP (it will look like an FTP client)
[07:28] <arrenlex> When trying to reply to a post on the forums, it tells me I don't have permission to access the page, because of insufficient privileges or a disabled account. How might I find out what's wrong?
[07:28] <heLEO> prince_jammys: if anything goes wrong i will clain insurance :):D
[07:28] <ZiRiS> adante: you want supergrubdisc - it's an iso to download and burn to disk, then boot to - it fixes any and all grub issues that I've come across. Quite awesome actually. (googling now to get you specific address)
[07:28] <n8tuser> anyone remember how to tell VMware that I have two nics and it should use the 2nd nic eth1 instead of defaulting to eth0 -- so my guest can acquire the ip addr range of the 2nd nic also (bridge) ?
[07:28] <prince_jammys> heLEO: i'll give you your money back ;)
[07:29] <psywiped> cool ill give winscp a try
[07:29] <ZiRiS> adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[07:29] <prince_jammys> psywiped: you could tunnel an X session with ssh, and run a graphical filebrowser
[07:29] <adante> ZiRiS: no actually i just want to read the grub documentation to find out what what the uuid directive does :) but this seems to be very hard i can't seem to google it and it's not on my other computer?
[07:29] <chunty> looking for an AI bot that will learn based off of others conversations
[07:29] <ZiRiS> adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[07:29] <psywiped> im on a vista mechean right now and im not sure how to do an x session
[07:30] <prince_jammys> psywiped: that's if the remote machine is running X
[07:30] <freazer> psywiped: to do prince_jammy's tunneling idea you just use the -X option on SSH, it will invoke X forwarding and then you can just run a nautilus, konquerer, or your preferred file browser
[07:30] <quibbler> arrenlex: you have to register in order to inlog in the forums
[07:30] <ice_cream> AI bot? o.O
[07:30] <adante> ZiRiS: ok where is the grub doc exactly there?
[07:30] <arrenlex> quibbler: Yes, I am.
[07:30] <quibbler> arrenlex: then inlog
[07:30] <bwayne> adante: UUID is just another way of refering to a device, like /dev/sda1
[07:30] <arrenlex> quibbler: It lists my account name and informs me that it does not have permission or has been disabled.
[07:30] <n8tuser> psywiped-> get a putty or a vnc client first
[07:31] <ZiRiS> adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5
[07:31] <bwayne> adante: i don't prefer UUID's in my grub.  i prefer device paths.
[07:31] <ice_cream> yea, uuid is ugly and has that auto-generated look
[07:31] <ZiRiS> Anyone know how to fix video issues in 8.10? I can't even get xserver to load after 'installing' a vid driver.
[07:32] <darkblue_B> bwayne: do you know how I can fnd a device path to my Acer stock ieee1394 port/disk?
[07:32] <bwayne> darkblue_B: "port/disk"?
[07:32] <^cheeky> anyone play any RTS games ?
[07:32] <adante> bwayne: yeah well i don't like it either especially considering the drama it's giving me now but that's what is default now -- i'm just trying to fix it
[07:32] <^cheeky> sorry
[07:32] <^cheeky> wrong box
[07:32] <darkblue_B> bwayne: I dont know.. tell me what the rght terminology is
[07:33] <bwayne> darkblue_B: what are you trying to access, a hard drive?
[07:33] <darkblue_B> bwayne: yes
[07:33] <adante> bwayne: ok when i boot up, it says ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid here> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
[07:33] <adante> ZiRiS: thanks for your help
[07:33] <bwayne> adante: yeah.  stupid.  edit grub.conf and change dev/disk/by-uuid to /dev/sd??
[07:34] <bwayne> darkblue_B: so are you booting from a USB drive?
[07:34] <quibbler> arrenlex: at the bottom of the page there is a contact us button ... sent the administrator an email
[07:34] <n8tuser> adante-> how many partitions do you have that are mountable?
[07:34] <ZiRiS> adante: anytime I have the answers, they're yours! ;-)
[07:34] <darkblue_B> bwayne: its booted from an SATA drive, which is treated as 'scsi'.. I just want to mount this firewire drive..
[07:34] <arrenlex> quibbler: I figured it out. I need to read more... "You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section."
[07:35] <darkblue_B> dont see anyhting in /dev that looks likely
[07:35] <quibbler> arrenlex: i've done that too ;-)
[07:35] <adante> bwayne: you mean the menu.lst right? i tried editing the boot line to root hd(0,0) but when i boot it still tries to find it by uuid for some reason
[07:35] <adante> bwayne: hrm unless it has actually mounted my fstab and is looking for the other drive.. heh
[07:36] <bwayne> darkblue_B:  i see.  try unplugging the drive, then plug it back in and check the output of 'dmesg' in the terminal.
[07:36] <ZiRiS> Anyone have any knowledge of nVidia cards in 8.10? Or perhaps how to set vid driver to default via command line?
[07:36] <adante> n8tuser: uh i have sda1 boot, sda2 swap, sda3 /, sdb1 /mnt/vault
[07:36] <adante> n8tuser: course i dunno which are mountable because i cannot mount them because mount says invalid argument when i try to mount with valid arguments as far as i can see
[07:36] <MethinX> anyone know how to allocate bandwidth between Files on one computer, this is so my Skype still works while Im downloading
[07:37] <bwayne> adante: right.  pastebin your menu.lst and /etc/fstab
[07:37] <n8tuser> adante-> you have to fix your fstab contents
[07:38] <Gate> MethinX: there are a few ways
[07:38] <darkblue_B> bwayne: only msgs about eth0 in dmesg output.. ?
[07:38] <ZiRiS> Anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler? Beuhler?
[07:38] <bwayne> darkblue_B: not very promising.
[07:38] <Gate> MethinX: I presume you are downloading using firefox to download
[07:39] <psywiped> cool winscp was just what i was looking for
[07:39] <adante> n8tuser: righto cheers
[07:39] <freazer> MethinX: look into "packet shaping" - I've had a lot of issues with it myself but that's the google term you should hunt for
[07:39] <darkblue_B> bwayne: so.. Ubuntu 8.04 is not seeing the port?
[07:39] <bwayne> darkblue_B: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire
[07:39] <adante> bwayne: ok i'm booting again to try to do that, in the meantime can i ask: my menu.lst has a uuid = <some uid>; kernel = etc root=<some OTHER uuid> -- is this normal?
[07:39] <darkblue_B> thats about vide3o
[07:39] <darkblue_B> I ran into that several times this evening
[07:39] <darkblue_B> :-/
[07:40] <adante> bwayne: ok i am still downloading hte livecd so i can't get my /etc because at the moment i can only boot into a retarded busybox shell that does not mount things
[07:40] <adante> is the ubuntu 8.10 desktop cd the live cd? or where do i get the livecd now?
[07:41] <ch0d3> hi all
[07:41] <Flannel> adante: yes, the Desktop CD is the liveCD
[07:41] <bwayne> adante:  yeah, you're gonna need a livecd.  i recommend the gentoo or arch live cds because they go straight to a shell which is all you need.
[07:41] <ZiRiS> Currently I'm booting to nothing but command line - right after changing my vid driver to the recommended driver - on a fresh install. Anyone have any suggestions?
[07:41] <darkblue_B> geez 80gb over ethernet is gonna be slooowww
[07:41] <bwayne> darkblue_B: 80 gb over just about anything is slooowww  :-)
[07:42] <bwayne> eSATA could probably do it the fastest
[07:42] <adante> bwayne: ok thanks
[07:42] <adante> Flannel: cheers
[07:42] <MethinX> 13 days Windows free!!!!
[07:42] <psywiped> i need to get me a wire so i can use esata
[07:42] <ZiRiS> MethinX: Congrats!
[07:42] <Marupa> Hi everyone...I have two audio cards in my computer and both seem to be registered in X (the sound mixer has both)  Is there any way to get ALSA to stream audio to/from both?
[07:42] <darkblue_B> *sigh* no chance to kick this system into finding the stock iee1394 port?
[07:42] <rashire> return to the dark side.
[07:42] <MethinX> part of me wants to try the new Windows 7 but i will resist!
[07:42]  * freazer flings 30GB~50GB capacity HiDef and Blueray discs at darblue_B and bwayne!
[07:42] <adante> bwayne: sorry to bohter but is the arch main cd the live cd?
[07:42] <bwayne> MethinX: why?  it's just software.
[07:43] <Sage-X> windows does that still exist
[07:43] <psywiped> windows 7 is ok
[07:43] <darkblue_B> freazer: aha
[07:43] <Sage-X> ??
[07:43] <bwayne> adante: yeah.
[07:43] <darkblue_B> burn a dvd
[07:43] <cahaya-05> co_ajjah
[07:43] <bwayne> adante: i think they call it "core" or something.
[07:43] <quibbler> MethinX: i got it working in virtualbox so just try it
[07:43] <adante> bwayne: i'm just downloading  archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.iso hope thats ok
[07:43] <adante> bwayne: ok cheers
[07:43] <ZiRiS> MethinX: Win 7? You mean Vista? It's not so bad. I'm running it now, but only because Ubuntu is fried atm
[07:43] <n8tuser> anyone remember how to tell VMware that I have two nics and it should use the 2nd nic eth1 instead of defaulting to eth0 -- so my guest can acquire the ip addr range of the 2nd nic also (bridge) ?
[07:43] <darkblue_B> good for 8.7 gb dual layer ?
[07:43] <bwayne> adante: yeah, that's the latest, the lazy bums :-)
[07:43] <psywiped> adante are you using x64 or 32 bit?
[07:43] <adante> psywiped: x64
[07:44] <scunizi> n8tuser: you might try #vmware
[07:44] <darkblue_B> I think my VM disk is too big for that though
[07:44] <Sage-X> anything runs good  on my system
[07:44] <psywiped> you need to grab the x64 download thats the one for 32 bit your geting right now
[07:44] <bwayne> psywiped: he doesn't ned 64 bit kernel just to mount does he?
[07:45] <ZiRiS> bwayne: I would think so.
[07:45] <darkblue_B> n8tuser: I am using VirtualBox.. 4 stars
[07:45] <psywiped> takes the same time to download eather way might as well get the 64 bit
[07:45] <cahaya-05> hello
[07:45] <psywiped> better to not take a chace
[07:45] <ZiRiS> Hi.
[07:45] <psywiped> hi
[07:45] <MethinX> No I mean windows 7 , the beta after vista
[07:45] <bwayne> i don't think that's correct.  maybe if he wanted to chroot.
[07:45] <Sage-X> my i7 computer kicks ass judt isn't realy supported
[07:45]  * darkblue_B sulks
[07:45] <Gate> windows 7?
[07:45] <Gate> eeeeeew
[07:45] <ZiRiS> lol @ darkblue_B
[07:45] <psywiped> hehe
[07:45] <Sage-X> no intel chip i7
[07:45] <Marupa> Anyone?
[07:46] <psywiped> anyone what
[07:46] <MethinX> its downloadable at the windows site as a beta, I refuse to download it
[07:46] <n8tuser> darkblue_B-> my other virtual is openVz
[07:46] <adante> bwayne: while arch is downloading - http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc009192hp6.jpg this is the error i get when i boot
[07:46] <psywiped> ive given it a try its ok
[07:46] <Sage-X> .exe are for corprate cock sucking ppl
[07:46] <darkblue_B> ZiRiS: I have these expensive cables, and firewire 800, and ubuntu is not seeing the port
[07:47] <n8tuser> !oh my | Sage-X
[07:47] <darkblue_B> even bwayne doesnt know how to do it
[07:47] <tritium> Sage-X: watch the language
[07:47] <n8tuser> Sage-X-> thats not allowed here please
[07:47] <psywiped> odd
[07:47] <bwayne> adante: did you resize your partitions after UUID's were assigned?
[07:47] <Sage-X> appologies
[07:47] <ZiRiS> darkblue_B: thinking
[07:47] <Marupa> Is there any way to 'tee' audio from one ALSA card to another?
[07:47] <psywiped> geese sarge such hate
[07:48] <psywiped> adante is your bios seeing all your hdds?
[07:48] <OriWB> Hi, Can someone help me share between computers on my network?
[07:48] <psywiped> yes ori
[07:48] <ZiRiS> darkblue_B: have you tried plugging it (anything) in after loading ubuntu fully? It is hot-swappable.
[07:49] <OriWB> psywiped: thanx
[07:49] <psywiped> so ori what os's are you using?
[07:49] <OriWB> psywiped: sorry, whats an os?
[07:49] <darkblue_B> ZiRiS: dmesg doesnt show anyhting after the plug-in.. I am not seeing anything in /dev/ that looks likley.. though I certainly dont know much about /dev
[07:49] <bwayne> darkblue_B: welcome to Linux.  you pay money for fancy hardware that will only work with the embedded OS.  my advice is for you to re-install the factory OS.
[07:50] <darkblue_B> bwayne: actually its an inexpensive Acer that is the host..
[07:50] <darkblue_B> but yes
[07:50] <adante> bwayne: nah didn't do ANYTHING regarding changing partitions, didn't add any new hdds or anything
[07:50] <adante> psywiped: yes
[07:50] <bwayne> darkblue_B:  put Windows 7 on it.  you'll thank me.
[07:50] <Quicken2k> yep, the drivers are there, just doesn't know my monitor I think
[07:50] <adante> bwayne: i have a raid card however on mirror raid so i'm wondering if the card did something fruity
[07:50] <joot> Operating System
[07:50] <darkblue_B> bwayne is mad as a Redmond hatter (!)
[07:51] <bwayne> i'm just open to what works.
[07:51] <bwayne> gimme a bash shell anyday.
[07:51] <ZiRiS> darkblue_B: I'm starting simple here and working my way towards complicated. Does anything show up in administration>hardware?
[07:51] <bwayne> i'm not into jerking around for two weeks to get my video card working.
[07:51] <savvas> darkblue_B: what's the matter?
[07:51] <Marupa> Anyone have any suggestions for my audio question?
[07:51] <darkblue_B> ZiRiS: looking
[07:52] <psywiped> yep maru look it up in the forum
[07:52] <darkblue_B> savvas: firewire port on an Acer isnt being recognized
[07:52] <imaginativeone_> what's the default mysql database name?
[07:52] <ZiRiS> savvas: his firewire isn't showing up - at all.
[07:52] <adante> bwayne: brb apparently friend down the street has an arch cd going to grab it :3
[07:52] <Relentless> Marupa What was your question
[07:52] <bwayne> adante: right on
[07:52] <savvas> ZiRiS, darkblue_B: did you have a look at the output of: lspci -nn
[07:52] <psywiped> good deal adante
[07:52] <Marupa> Relentless, 'tee'ing audio from one alsa card to another.
[07:53] <Relentless> What is teeing?
[07:53] <bwayne> lol
[07:53] <Marupa> Relentless, As in, playing audio on both cards simultaneously
[07:53] <savvas> darkblue_B: what's the laptop's model number?
[07:53] <chalcedony> savvas: lovely to see you :)
[07:53] <savvas> darkblue_B: also, which Ubuntu release are you trying?
[07:53] <savvas> hey chalcedony :))
[07:53] <Relentless> Marupa Use Jack
[07:53] <ZiRiS> Relentless: picture the letter T, then picture one card on one end of the cross, the other card on the other end, and your speakers at the bottom. Voila, Tee'ing
[07:54] <Marupa> Relentless, I'd rather not screw up all the rest of my audio, thanks.
[07:54] <bwayne> linux audio.  now there's a fun subject.
[07:55] <darkblue_B> savvas: I have an Acer Aspire dual-core AMD running 8.04.. works great, been stable
[07:55] <psywiped> playing audio on both cards simultaneously one more thing windows cant do
[07:55] <joot> ZiRiS, that seems to make no sense
[07:55] <Relentless> afaik teeing was speaker speaker computer
[07:55] <Marupa> Relentless, The last four times I tried working with Jack, I pretty much had to reinstall to get internet back.
[07:55] <pantung> hey
[07:55] <ZiRiS> So we have no Video gurus present this evening? I was hoping for some suggestions to get back into 8.10
[07:55] <darkblue_B> has a built in ieee1394 port.. I am just trying to mount an external drive.. nothing in desg when I plug it in, nothing likely looking in /dev
[07:55] <pantung> can some1 tell me channel name to ubuntu in danish?
[07:56] <chunty> looking for an AI bot that will learn based off of others conversations
[07:56] <ZiRiS> joot: do you not work in theory very often?
[07:56] <Relentless> #ubuntu.dk
[07:56] <psywiped> danish #ubuntuwindmills
[07:56] <pantung> ty :D
[07:56] <savvas> darkblue_B: turn the laptop around, look for a model number - there should be one :)
[07:56] <darkblue_B> ZiRiS: I just have hardware test and hardware drivers.. netierh seems like what you are aslking about
[07:56] <Chuppa> im thinking about getting ubuntu
[07:56] <freazer> ZiRiS: what's your vid card? if it's ATI there are FGLRX setups which can regenerate your xorg conf.. if it's something else I can google for you other potential install scripts
[07:56] <joot> ZiRiS, Evidently not..
[07:56] <psywiped> dark blue flip the comuter the infos on the bottom
[07:56] <darkblue_B> savvas: its a new Mac Pro unibody core-duo
[07:56] <ZiRiS> hmmm....
[07:56] <Relentless> #ubuntu.dk pantung
[07:56] <Chuppa> can someone tell me why i should get ubuntu?
[07:56] <darkblue_B> savvas: firewire 800
[07:57] <Relentless> Chuppa lol troll
[07:57] <darkblue_B> the Acer Aspire host is a tower
[07:57] <freazer> ZiRiS: the other option is to use a LiveCD, and then copy over the Xorg.conf stuff that it generates in the virtual filesystem over to your real implementation
[07:57] <psywiped> chuppa you will never have to deal with vriuses again
[07:57] <Relentless> Chuppa What do you need linux for in the first place
[07:57] <bwayne> Chuppa: knowledge of linux can come in handy.
[07:57] <Relentless> psywiped LOL
[07:57] <Relentless> just LOL
[07:57] <Chuppa> i dont have linux
[07:57] <chalcedony> Chuppa: it's nice :)
[07:57] <Relentless> Chuppa What do you already do on the computer
[07:57] <psywiped> its faster smarter and easer to use
[07:57] <Relentless> psywiped LOL
[07:58] <freazer> Chuppa: if you don't have Linux and you don't want Linux, don't use Linux.  No viruses, stable, free (in every sense of the word).
[07:58] <Chuppa> Relentless: i play online poker, chess, go, facebook, irc, and a few other games
[07:58] <ZiRiS> freazer: nVidia 8600GT  8.10 boots to a command line, X fails directly after rebooting from installing the recommended drivers on a fresh install, all I did was the updates, rebooted, added the vid driver and rebooted, and got a command line.
[07:58] <bwayne> Chuppa:  it's all a matter of what type of computing you're looking for.
[07:58] <psywiped> and if you build it right and learn how to program it can make you pizza
[07:58] <skate2> how do you reindex files with gnome-do?
[07:58] <Relentless> Chuppa then tbh stick to windows
[07:58] <joot> !dk
[07:59] <freazer> ZiRiS: I'm starting to think I never want to update again >.< getting very sick of updates breaking my great setup
[07:59] <savvas> darkblue_B: ok, can you paste the output at http://paste.ubuntu.com of this command: lspci -nn
[07:59] <bwayne> goodness handbrake takes forever
[07:59] <Gate> Chuppa: my reason for linux: I can do any damned thing I want with and to my computer, I am not bound by a EULA telling me when to blink
[07:59] <Chuppa> thanks Relentless
[07:59] <darkblue_B> savvas: ok
[07:59] <Relentless> Gate You are bound by morals. My version of windows are pirated
[07:59] <freazer> Chuppa: Just hang out in this channel and read all the problems people are having ^^
[07:59] <belesprit> I just installed Ubuntu the 64 bit version. My processor is an Intel Core 2 6600. When i tried to install 'Adobe flash player', I get the error message 'error wrong architecture i386'
[07:59] <Relentless> I have yet to buy software
[08:00] <tritium> Relentless: don't discuss pirated software here
[08:00] <Relentless> lol tritium Im not I was just saying...
[08:00] <psywiped> then try and find a channel for windows and see all the problems they are having
[08:00] <Relentless> lol
[08:00] <Relentless> the windows channels here are moslty chat
[08:00] <Relentless> or talk about ISS
[08:00] <ZiRiS> Freazer: good idea, but I'm not nearly as savvy on linux as I am with Windows. (It's what i learned because there was $ there.) What files would I copy over?
[08:00] <darkblue_B> savvas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115558/
[08:00] <Relentless> *IIS
[08:00] <ZiRiS> and to where?
[08:00] <tritium> Relentless: it's strictly offtopic
[08:01] <psywiped> is it flash-nonfree or nonfree-flash?
[08:01] <Gate> Relentless: Bound by morals and laziness. Linux is faster than hacking windows
[08:01] <Relentless> Gates Tru
[08:01] <freazer> belesprit: From what I've read there is no 64 bit flash - and that's adobe's fault
[08:01] <lstarnes> psywiped: probably flashplugin-nonfree
[08:01] <belesprit> well any other alternatives?
[08:01] <HEleo> e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb error while using gparted
[08:01] <HEleo> :(
[08:01] <bryant> Yay, 2 minutes until my ubuntu iso is done downloading and I can play with it in VirtualBox, yayyy
[08:01] <lstarnes> freazer, belesprit: I think I remember bhearing something about adobe making a 64-bit version of flasg
[08:01] <lstarnes> *flash
[08:01] <lstarnes> *hearing
[08:01] <psywiped> ok belesprit go to terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[08:02] <Relentless> !offtopic
[08:02] <Gate> freazer: didn't they fix that, yet?
[08:02] <psywiped> there is a alpha 64bit flash but it keeps crashing FF
[08:02] <Gate> ah
[08:02] <Relentless> Gate join the offtopic
[08:02] <HEleo> e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb.... error while using gparted  help me :(
[08:02] <psywiped> i went back to the 32 bit one
[08:02] <savvas> darkblue_B: which ubuntu release did you try? ubuntu 8.04 ?
[08:02] <psywiped> i went back to the 32 bit one
[08:03] <darkblue_B> savvas: yes
[08:03] <psywiped> 8.10
[08:03] <belesprit> it says it could not find the package
[08:03] <ZiRiS> Freazer: good idea, but I'm not nearly as savvy on linux as I am with Windows. (It's what i learned because there was $ there.) What files would I copy over?
[08:03] <ZiRiS> and to where?
[08:03] <darkblue_B> 64bit amd  linux 2.6.24-23-generic
[08:03] <freazer> ZiRiS: looking into it
[08:03] <ZiRiS> freazer: tyvm!
[08:04] <HEleo> hi guys  how can i dual boot ubuntu and fedora
[08:04] <savvas> darkblue_B: have you tried newer ubuntu? 8.10 or the testing 9.04 ?
[08:04] <darkblue_B> oh.. no.. I had planned to stay at something stable on the tower..
[08:04] <ZiRiS> HEleo: grub?
[08:04] <n8tuser> HEleo-> put fedora on another partition and you can still share /home
[08:04] <psywiped> heleo make 2 partitions on your hdd and install
[08:04] <cahaya-05> oiweyfoisdng
[08:04] <darkblue_B> savvas: but if thats the case... hmm dont know
[08:05] <psywiped> bele you have to enable all the reporsitories
[08:05] <goodeeny> Нш
[08:05] <HEleo> did each os should have atleast one primary partion ??
[08:05] <goodeeny> Hi
[08:05] <savvas> darkblue_B: I would like to see if it's working at all with ubuntu
[08:05] <freazer> ZiRiS: first off, try Recovery Mode from GRUB boot loader if you have that option - you can uninstall your restricted drivers and reboot hopefully into normal Ubuntu with X working
[08:05] <n8tuser> HEleo-> yes
[08:05] <psywiped> each os needs to be on its own partition
[08:05] <darkblue_B> I suppose I could boot an iso and test that way , y?
[08:05] <joot> Hi x 1288
[08:06] <belesprit> psywiped your talking language i have not learned yep
[08:06] <belesprit> yet*
[08:06] <savvas> darkblue_B: download this: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-4/jaunty-desktop-i386.iso - burn it, boot from it, do NOT install it - test if the firewire works
[08:06] <psywiped> dammit im not on ubunto right now i have to go from memory
[08:06] <freazer> ZiRiS: with a LiveCD, are you using LVM or mdadm for raid? if so you will need extra instructions to mount your existing partitions
[08:06] <psywiped> and ive been drinking
[08:06] <ZiRiS> freazer: I did. That was one of the first things I tried. It didn't do any good, actually matters got worse and I reinstalled. Same thing happened again. I'm not looking forward to another reinstall.
[08:06] <belesprit> nah i can look it up
[08:06] <darkblue_B> savvas: ok, might take a while for me
[08:07] <psywiped> it like system admin and smantic sources
[08:07] <psywiped> then check everything
[08:07] <belesprit> self determinism and all that
[08:07] <quibbler> !who | psywiped
[08:07] <HEleo> whenever i create /boot , /usr /  its created as primary partition .. is it possible to overrider that and llowing only 2 to be primary partion others should be in extended??
[08:08] <puneeth1> !kubuntu
[08:08]  * psywiped psywiped is a random figment of your imagamation that is based off you being drunk
[08:08] <ZiRiS> freazer: I have ubuntu installed on an IDE drive, but have 2 other SATA drives that are NOT in a raid configuration. One is windows, the other is misc storage. movies and such.
[08:08] <rww> !ot | psywiped
[08:08] <savvas> darkblue_B: I'll give you my email in private
[08:08] <psywiped> was that just a bot?
[08:09] <freazer> ZiRiS: I would expect the LiveCD to autodetect and mount those partitions then - I'm still looking for a good guide that details exactly what files to copy over to repair your X configuration
[08:09] <HEleo> ubottu: u r not a bot?? right?? :P
[08:09] <psywiped> ubottu your not helping
[08:10] <joot> psywyiped, you are conversing with a bot
[08:10] <ZiRiS> Here's a random question since I'm maybe looking at another reinstall. Is it possible to run Kubuntu with Ubuntu simultaneously? IE have the option for KDE or Gnome?
[08:10] <psywiped> joot: looks that way
[08:11] <joot> psywyiped, stay on topic
[08:11] <psywiped> yea jiris it is doing it on my hp tablet
[08:11] <Flannel> ZiRiS: yeah.  Install either kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop (whichever you don't have) and you can choose at the login screen
[08:11] <ZiRiS> And I do mean that last comment for everyone, hence no nick:
[08:11] <ZiRiS> oh, sweet.
[08:11] <ZiRiS> thx Flannel
[08:11] <psywiped> waite ziris what was the last commont?
[08:12] <ZiRiS> psywiped:
[08:12] <ZiRiS> psywiped:
[08:12] <ZiRiS> And I do mean that last comment for everyone, hence no nick:
[08:12] <ZiRiS> oops
[08:12] <FloodBot1> ZiRiS: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:12] <dreamer> anybody to talk with a bored girl?
[08:12] <HEleo> psywiped:  can u direct me place where i can dual boot ubuntu and fedora  i want to from the beginning  including the order of creating partions and grub configurations
[08:12] <Flannel> dreamer: Thats not on topic for this channel, please take it elsewhere.
[08:12] <jim_p> can anyone help me on apt-pinning?
[08:12] <dreamer> oops, sorry
[08:13] <HEleo> c anyone an u direct me place where i can dual boot ubuntu and fedora  i want to from the beginning  including the order of creating partions and grub configurations
[08:13] <puneeth1> !botsnack
[08:13] <harley> How come my open office is just all symbols, I can't understand anything?
[08:13] <psywiped> heleo just use gpart and make a partition for the 2nd os if you aready have ubuntu installed
[08:13] <freazer> ZiRiS: have you read http://www.robdian.co.uk/content/view/56/27/ ? it mentions your cart specifically - it's all command line which might be a useful last ditch effort
[08:14] <HEleo> psywiped: grub configuration
[08:14] <joot> jim_p, What is apt-pinning?
[08:14] <Bossmanbeta> jim_p, try this link on apt-pinning: http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
[08:14] <HEleo> psywiped: grub configuration please
[08:14] <skate2> gnome-do finds my files properly but it doesnt launch any of them, even tho when i click on the files properties it says the open with application fine and i can launch them into their associated programs fine in the normal file browser, just not gnome-do. any ideas?
[08:14] <ZiRiS> freazer: I haven't but will right now. Thx. :D
[08:14] <pantung> #ubuntu-dk
[08:14] <psywiped> if your starting from scrach only set up half of the hdd for and os and leave the other half unformated heleo
[08:14] <tritium> jim_p, joot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[08:14] <HEleo> psywiped: ok then can i share the same swap
[08:14] <freazer> ZiRiS: I think the only file you need to copy is the xorg.conf file, it should be located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf   -- copy this from your liveCD path (which is as written) to wherever your ubuntu partition is mounted
[08:14] <psywiped> when you install fedora it should take care of the grub part heleo
[08:15] <jim_p> thanks tritium Bossmanbeta
[08:15] <joot> tritium, Many thanks..
[08:15] <psywiped> should be able to share the swap
[08:15] <freazer> ZiRiS: I would assume any driver built into the LiveCD would be included in your installation
[08:15] <Ben_Cs> hello
[08:15] <harley> can anybody help me sort out openoffice.org?
[08:15] <psywiped> haven tried dual booting 2 linux distro so not sure
[08:15] <HEleo> psywiped: can i install fedora grub or configure the old linux grub to boot fedora laso
[08:15] <HEleo> *also
[08:15] <Ben_Cs> when trying to install ubuntu 8.10 my screen shows "out of range". Must i use "alternate cd"?
[08:15] <quibbler> pantung: try   /join #ubuntu-dk
[08:15] <jim_p> joot, in short, i want to be able to install packages from jaunty without the need of               sudo apt-get install -t jaunty wicd       for instance
[08:16] <ZiRiS> freazer: thx! wilco!
[08:16] <tauheed> anybody living....................
[08:16] <tauheed> ??????????????????????//
[08:16] <joot> jim_p, Would you not be better going to #ubuntu1?
[08:17] <freazer> ZiRiS: I hope it helps :-( dealing with broken X is _the #1 most frustrating thing_ for new Linux users IMO
[08:17] <tauheed> nop????????????????????????????/
[08:17] <pantung> yy i know quibbler i just forgot to type ;)
[08:17] <belesprit> Got another problem as well, nvidia drivers... try to install them using the system>>administration>>hardware drivers route. It detects them (versions 173 and 177) but when I try to activate them the load screen flashes up for a brief second and then closes. Running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit
[08:17] <quibbler> pantung: ;-)
[08:17] <freazer> tauheed, just ask your question rather than spamming the channel with ?'s
[08:17] <freazer> bah
[08:17] <jim_p> joot, no. i just need apt-pinning :P
[08:17] <joot> jim_p, OK :-)
[08:18] <ZiRiS> freazer: Indeed, I'm sure it is. If this doesn't work, I might just DL, burn and install Kubuntu.
[08:18] <psywiped> heleo im not sure i would think the grub would be the same and it would just auto configure like it does when you have windows installed. "this is me doing drunk tech support so dont expect to much"
[08:19] <HEleo> psywiped: ok thanks for a try ;)
[08:20] <freazer> ZiRiS: from command line (if broken X won't let you access terminal, try Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2 to get to another terminal command line - and simply login and type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop as another user said above - it will change your default login stuff to KDE (which may be worth trying)
[08:20] <pantung> can someone tell me how to install GTK tememotot aurura ?
[08:20] <freazer> ZiRiS: but, from what I've seen Kubuntu is a very different experience, and you're right in that it could be worth trying
[08:21] <psywiped> pantu have you searched in the forums?
[08:21] <psywiped> freaz not a big fan of k feels clunky
[08:21] <pantung> nope i have not psywiped
[08:21] <SwitchMon44> using xubuntu here
[08:22] <pantung> i don't have a user yet :)
[08:22] <psywiped> make a user and do a search if you have truble then come back in here and ask
[08:22] <psywiped> 99 out of 100 it has the answer
[08:23] <adante> bwayne: hey i just booted the arch cd and it starts up to a... grub prompt?
[08:23] <pantung> kay i'll do ty :D
[08:23] <pantung> i'm just not that good at english thats why ;)
[08:23] <owner> anyone know how I access the Desktop directory from the root terminal?
[08:24] <psywiped> i think its in /home/username
[08:24] <Gate> owner: /home/username/Desktop
[08:24] <owner> cd /home/username/Desktop?
[08:24] <Gate> yes
[08:24] <owner> k, what commands lists all directories
[08:25] <Gate> ls
[08:25] <psywiped> yep close enough for 6 beers down 6 to go
[08:25] <Gate> owner: basic command line navigation: ls lists files and directories from your current, cd moves
[08:25] <owner> I typed ls -a and it showed a bunch (files?) like .profile .gnome etc
[08:26] <owner> but there wasn't any home etc listed
[08:26] <psywiped> cool dir does to in ubuntu
[08:26] <bryant> What CD is it that gives you the option to install the Ubuntu Server with a GUI? I'm pretty sure I've done it before...
[08:26] <psywiped> man i have more fun with ubuntu server than i do with ubuntu desktop
[08:27] <\Kira> Im trying to install ubuntu server without cd-rom or setting up a netboot server and such. I found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet and its perfect, but its for ubuntu 8.04. I want 8.10 server. Any idea how to get it?
[08:27] <bryant> psywiped, did you install text only for server?
[08:27] <owner> why doesn't ls show /home?
[08:27] <\Kira> owner: because your in you home directory
[08:27] <bryant> Owner, are you in the root directory?
[08:27] <owner> it doesn't show username either though
[08:27] <psywiped> bryant yes only have ssh on the server no gui
[08:27] <\Kira> owner: ls shows the contents of the directory your currently in
[08:28] <bryant> What are you using for IRC, psywiped? irssi?
[08:28] <\Kira> owner: in the shell, it shows your location. ~ is short for your home
[08:28] <psywiped> did install webmin tho
[08:28] <savvas> or $HOME (case sensitive) :)
[08:28] <psywiped> bryant im on vista right now using hydra
[08:28] <owner> well, how do I list the directories?
[08:28] <bryant> Oh, fail.
[08:29] <bryant> =P
[08:29] <owner> what command will show /username etc?
[08:29] <\Kira> owner: I dont think your understanding the command
[08:29] <psywiped> owner are you in ssh?
[08:29] <psywiped> owner: connecting to an server?
[08:29] <bryant> psywiped, I'm about to install server in VirtualBox to play with it and Virtual environments inside of VB.
[08:29] <owner> I logged oout and went into recovery mode to get to the root prompt
[08:29] <\Kira> owner: imagine your using a file browser, right? It is showing the contents of the directory your in on the screen. thats ls
[08:30] <\Kira> owner: if you change to a directory, thats using the "cd" command.
[08:30] <psywiped> bryant my server is siting in my basment 1200mils away an i use ssh and sftp to acces it
[08:30] <owner> right
[08:30] <\Kira> owner: type "cd ..", then ls
[08:30] <quibbler> owner: have a look here: http://doc.vic.computerbank.org.au/tutorials/linuxdirectorystructure/
