[00:00] <test3r> Squawk, J.Sparrow > how Goes it? Hey- I found the bug on launchpad about burning disks in 7.10 , is there any work around to make my CD burner OR my DVD burner (both external - and worked Fine) to make those drives get past the "power calibration" / "failed to write" bug for burning disks?
[00:00] <thesaint4444> hi guys, can anyone tell me how I can keep a windows service which I have written to run under wine continuously going. It all works ok when I launch it from the command line but when I close the terminal window the service stops ...... any ideas?
[00:00] <jdolan_> actually, i just confirmed:  http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/s/sdl-image1.2/sdl-image1.2_1.2.5-3/changelog
[00:01] <jdolan_> apparently it was missing JPG support until very recently.  nice!
[00:01] <abortd> thesaint give me one second
[00:01] <abortd> to remember
[00:01] <Alyx|lappy> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4JHrY8QjIk the transparent cube I've got but the windows sitting off the cube thing i cant figure out anyone know?
[00:01] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: run disown after starting the service then close the terminal
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> abstrak, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LircWithPinnaclePCTV?highl%20ight=%28Pinnacle%29
[00:01] <geo> hi how to have srt subtitles in vlc?
[00:02] <abortd> can someone ping me ?
[00:02] <Starnestommy> abortd: like this?
[00:02] <abortd> like what?
[00:02] <`duKe`> thesaint4444: rewrite it to run nativeley under linux :p
[00:03] <abortd> nah there is a way
[00:03] <Jack_Sparrow> thesaint4444, THere are some command line arguments that will let you close the terminal window...  I dont have them handy but the do exist
[00:03] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: ok, thanks, can I run disown in another terminal window? - as the service does not let me have a command prompt in the same terminal window after it starts up...
[00:03] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: put a '&' after the command
[00:03] <abortd> thesaint4444, hit alt F2
[00:03] <thesaint4444> Jack_Sparrow: specific to wine?
[00:03] <abstrak> Jack_Sparrow: i think this wiki speak about a COM port remote receiver. I have to plug a jack receiver on my PCTV310i PCI card...
[00:03] <abortd> can you run it from that?
[00:04] <s2a> soundray, there is both README and INSTALL
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> thesaint4444, NOt sure, I dispise wine and all vm
[00:04] <soundray> s2a: you probably want to read both
[00:04] <lch> how do I switch from beryl to metacity as default compositing manager?
[00:05] <soundray> lch: metacity is not a compositing manager
[00:05] <Esine> soundray, we finally went with vncserver and tunneled through SSH. It's just like Xnest but it was easier to setup and we run inkscape on it:)
[00:05] <geo> hi how to have srt subtitles in vlc?
[00:05] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: & after the wine command? - then I can close the terminal window?
[00:05] <soundray> Esine: ha, I knew it :)
[00:06] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: a space followed by an '&' at the end of the line
[00:06] <abstrak> Jack_Sparrow: you know a channel where this kind of question could have answers ?
[00:06] <lch> soundray, okay, not sure about the nomenclature... but it seems that my video problem is known to be a problem due to Beryl, and switching to metacity helps
[00:06] <lch> so, how do I do that?
[00:07] <geo> hi how to have srt subtitles in vlc?
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> abstrak, Not really, there just are not enough of those around and fewer running ubuntu
[00:07] <abortd> h,
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> lch,  emerald --replace
[00:07] <s2a> soundray, it wants me to work with .rpm?? it says for a debian based system to work with an rpm!!
[00:07] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: nope that didn't work, kill the session and the service still dies....
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a, Someone is not telling the truth
[00:08] <mandrig> Gnea: ndiswrapper didn't work
[00:08] <abortd> im trying to get the codecs installed for this but i cant remember how to get the link from ubotu?
[00:08] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: did you remember to run the disown command after that one?
[00:08] <soundray> s2a: well, you can do that if you want to (look into the alien package), but I would try the checkinstall route first.
[00:08] <s2a> Jack_Sparrow, ?
[00:08] <punzada> Not really ubuntu, more of a general linux question: When ssh'd into a server with remote x, let's say I have an app running, is there anyway to save/pause that app's visual state and say, reboot the client pc and reconnect to the screen session and bring it back up? or will the process always have to be killed?
[00:08] <mandrig> Gnea: and now my wireless card doesn't work at all
[00:08] <s2a> soundray, i alredy tried convering .rpm to .deb without success
[00:09] <soundray> Jack_Sparrow: s2a is compiling a proprietary(?) modem driver for his or her 64-bit system
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a, Alien is dangerous and seldom works right
[00:09] <cjones> how do i know if ssh is enabeled on my computer ?
[00:09] <donsmouse> does anyone know of a good web editor for ubuntu?
[00:09] <^4nDr3s> cjones, ssh localhost
[00:10] <abortd> !ubotu restricted
[00:10] <abortd> meh
[00:10] <cjones> thanks
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> soundray, compiling from source is not the same as converting an rmp...  but thanks for the info
[00:10] <Starnestommy> abortd: ubotu isn't working right for some reason
[00:10] <abortd> :(
[00:10] <mandrig> how would I delete all drivers acting on my wireless card?
[00:10] <soundray> Jack_Sparrow: s2a was just reporting something that was said in a README file
[00:10] <abortd> i want the restricted link :/
[00:10] <Alyx|lappy> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4JHrY8QjIk the transparent cube I've got but the windows sitting off the cube thing i cant figure out anyone know?
[00:11] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: do I run the disown command in another shell?
[00:11] <cjones> how do you turn on ssh
[00:11] <Alyx|lappy> abortd: you mean to the restricted drivers?
[00:11] <abortd> no
[00:11] <soundray> cjones: 'sudo apt-get install ssh'
[00:11] <abortd> so i can run zee mp3s
[00:11] <pajamian> abortd: you mean medibuntu?
[00:11] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: the same shell
[00:11] <cjones> soundray thanks
[00:11] <abortd> medibuntu?
[00:11] <Jack_Sparrow> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/NonNativeCodecs?action=show&redirect=RestrictedFormats%2FWindowsCodecs
[00:11] <s2a> soundray, well it was in the INSTALL file
[00:11] <Jack_Sparrow> aborted
[00:11] <pajamian> abortd: to install not-so-legal programs, etc.
[00:11] <abortd> abortd
[00:11] <s2a> soundray, ill look at README now
[00:12] <abstrak> Anybody know the pctv 310i tv tuner with "remote controller" ? I cannot get any key pressed event !
[00:12] <soundray> s2a: did the INSTALL mention make or make install?
[00:12] <Jgonick> How difficult will it be to install Ubuntu over an existing SUSE on a dual (tri) boot setup? --the other os are Win2k & 98SE. and I believe the boot loader is Lilo.. thanks in advanced.
[00:12] <pajamian> abortd: I usually install the ubuntu-restricted-extra meta-package and a couple things from medibuntu and that gives me everything I need.
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> abstrak, you may also want to look for the mythtv room
[00:13] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: thats the problem, I run the wine command to start the service with _& appended but that does not give me a command prompt with which to then run disown....
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Jgonick, Ubuntu live will setup grub and both of those Windows os's
[00:13] <soundray> Jgonick: if you've got that far already, you will find a way to boot Ubuntu as well
[00:13] <cjones> ok so i have ssh installed but when i try to ssh localhost it says connection refused
[00:13] <abortd> what is medibuntu a repo or something?
[00:13] <s2a> soundray, ill paste both documents in pastebin for u
[00:13] <Starnestommy> abortd: I think so
[00:13] <bazhang> #ubuntu-mythtv abstrak
[00:13] <soundray> s2a: sorry, I'm going off soon
[00:13] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: what's the wine command you're trying to run?
[00:13] <pajamian> thesaint4444: have you tried nohup?
[00:13] <abstrak> Jack_Sparrow: ok, I 'll flood #mythtv channel ;-)
[00:13] <s2a> soundray, :(
[00:14] <abortd> i could have sworn i didnt have to add any repos to get the music working
[00:14] <pajamian> abortd: http://www.medibuntu.org/
[00:14] <pajamian> !medibuntu | abortd
[00:14] <^4nDr3s> cjones, sudo apt-get instal openssh-server
[00:14] <soundray> s2a: Jack_Sparrow is very helpful if you ask him nicely and address him as Captain ;)
[00:14] <pajamian> I guess ubotu isn't working today, heh
[00:14] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: ok, sorry that appears to work... i dont have a command prompt exactly but if i type 'disown' it gives me a command prompt and the service is still running...
[00:14] <cjones> 4ndr3s thanks
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> pajamian, bot is in for an oil change
[00:15] <DJDarkstar> anyone use Medibuntu?
[00:15] <s2a> soundray, lol
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, we all do
[00:15] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: what happens when you close the terminal after doing that?
[00:15] <pajamian> hehehe, ok, guess we'll just have to remember these things for ourselves today, then.
[00:15] <pajamian> abortd: just to listen to mp3s?
[00:15] <abortd> i got it now
[00:15] <DJDarkstar> need help with the dvd playback. the playback looks horrible. like it was run thru a shredder
[00:15] <abortd> there is no need to add any medibuntu repos
[00:15] <abortd> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:15] <soundray> s2a: hope you can get it done. Remember, if the worst comes to the worst, you can always get a cheap old serial modem that works every time.
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, By chance ati card?
[00:16] <DJDarkstar> yep
[00:16] <DJDarkstar> x1300
[00:16] <s2a> soundray, i have one and my mobo doesnt have the port :(
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, disable composite in your xorg....
[00:16] <soundray> s2a: you need a USB-serial cable then
[00:16] <Jgonick> Jack_Sparrow:  If I install will it identify my partitions.  Allowing me to overwrite SUSE and add the other two Windows versions to the boot loader?
[00:16] <pajamian> abortd: I'm not sure you have to add anything to a default install, but if so installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras package will almost certainly give you what you want.  medibuntu will give you more things like the w32codecs and libdvdcss
[00:16] <s2a> soundray, there is a hardmodem thats usb?!
[00:16] <soundray> s2a: most of the bog standard ones work plug-and-play
[00:16] <DJDarkstar> how do i go about that
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Jgonick, yes  the installer has those options
[00:17] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: I close the terminal and the service is still running :-)
[00:17] <abortd> ubuntu-restricted-extras gave me the w32codecs last time
[00:17] <Arcticpenguin380> is reiserfs more fast than ext3
[00:17] <soundray> s2a: I'm talking about a USB cable that will connect your non-serial machine to your serial modem.
[00:17] <pajamian> abortd: no, it won't give you w32codecs.
[00:17] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: so how do I stop the service if I need to, kill the process?
[00:17] <ArthurArchnix> Wow... it's pretty much well known that the ipw (intel wireless) drivers are bad news for a laptop battery; but I just finished tweaking my system with powertop and after turning off wireless I had about 150 interrupts per second. A little bit of work, and then I killed the synclient process, it dropped to 25 interrupts per second. I've uninstalled it, but that's pretty amazing right? Who would of thought xserver-xorg-input-
[00:17] <caba> hi
[00:18] <abortd> well when i installed it last time i guess the magic linux genie came and gave my comp the codecs
[00:18] <Ward1983> to whoever jsut helped me with GRUB it worked out, thanx
[00:18] <Jgonick> Jack_Sparrow:  I'm guessing it will overwrite Lilo with Grub ..correct?  Thanks for the help
[00:18] <pajamian> abortd: but you don't need w32codecs for mp3s, you need tyhem if you want to watch videos in real format and other proprietary formats.
[00:18] <Ward1983> hope you read this i forgot your name lol
[00:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Jgonick, Yes it will replace lilo with grub
[00:18] <Starnestommy> thesaint4444: kill process-id
[00:18] <CaBa> how is it possible that the server release is supported longer than the workstation release? do they actually base on different packages?
[00:18] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, Please keep it in channel...
[00:19] <Ward1983> how can i check who PMed me the last time i was online before this time?
[00:19] <thesaint4444> Starnestommy: yeah ok, many thanks for the help!
[00:19] <Ward1983> i forgot who just helped me
[00:19] <jetscreamer> CaBa: it's less of a hassle for desktop users to 'upgrade'
[00:19] <Jgonick> Jack_Sparrow:  Thanks for the help.. I guess I'll attempt sometime this week.  Thanks again.
[00:19] <jetscreamer> imo
[00:19] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, PMing without asking is considered rude...    gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:19] <pajamian> Ward1983: you on xchat?
[00:19] <CaBa> jetscreamer: that was not my question
[00:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Jgonick, np
[00:19] <Ward1983> pajamian, yes
[00:20] <pajamian> Ward1983: I would do: ls -latr ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs/
[00:20] <CaBa> jetscreamer: i was wondering how they make the difference between a ubuntu server and a ubuntu workstation
[00:20] <^4nDr3s> how can imount a fat16 partition, like this??? sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sdaX /media/disc
[00:20] <thesaint4444> 'duKe': hey duke, do you think your comment was helpfull?
[00:20] <bradley> can anyone walk me through getting my computer to look like vista
[00:20] <Ward1983> thanx pajamian
[00:20] <jetscreamer> CaBa: just what's in it
[00:20] <pajamian> Ward1983: the most recently modified logs will be at the bottom, including the log of your PM (if that's available)
[00:20] <sanguisde1> so is any one else having trouble getting their email after the last evolution update?
[00:20] <jetscreamer> CaBa: not where it comes from
[00:20] <Jack_Sparrow> CaBa, the server does not install gnome or all the extra apps
[00:20] <`duKe`> I dont think so, thesaint4444
[00:21] <thesaint4444> 'duKe': quite right... lol
[00:21] <`duKe`> but it would be a way, if you cant figure out to run your application with wine
[00:21] <CaBa> Jack_Sparrow: ok, so you want to say that the LTS team simply stopps supporting the gui apps?
[00:21] <CaBa> Jack_Sparrow: so it doesnt matter for the updates whether i install the workstation image or the server image on my server?
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> CaBa, not at all
[00:21] <^4nDr3s> how can i mount a fat16 partition, like this??? sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sdaX /media/disc
[00:22] <Ward1983> pajamian, looool sorry i must be wasted or something i was just online on windows because i coulcnt boot linux
[00:22] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: yep, you probably don't need the -t msdos part as mount should recognize it automagically.
[00:22] <Ward1983> pajamian, is there any command to check with freenode?
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> CaBa, you can get LTS with desktop and all the gui apps
[00:22] <dwater> want to install to md raid1 - do I need to use the alternate cd or is it possible (reasonably) with the standard one?
[00:22] <thesaint4444> 'duKe': not really.... - people often have to do this because somewhere along the line they have some legacy code they have to use and don't have the source for.
[00:22] <CaBa> Jack_Sparrow: yes i am aware of that
[00:22] <pajamian> Ward1983: sorry, none that I'm aware of.  I would run a similar command in the log directory of your windows IRC program.
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> dwater, raid is an uphill batter, read everything you can before you start.
[00:23] <CaBa> Jack_Sparrow: i want to know if it matters what image i install on the server
[00:23] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, yeah the thing is that it is not recognizing it, could the partition table or disc be corrupted?
[00:23] <CaBa> Jack_Sparrow: for the updates i mean
[00:23] <Ward1983> pajamian, thanx for the help
[00:23] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: what's the error message?
[00:23] <pajamian> Ward1983: no problem.
[00:23] <dwater> thanks done it before, just using server install not desktop
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> CaBa, It should not matter for the updates...
[00:23] <CaBa> Jack_Sparrow: that was my question :) thanks
[00:24] <dwater> just want to know that he raid options aren't on the standard cd, rather than hidden somewhere
[00:24] <kesi> hi all: never had this problem till today but I suddenly have a lot of  lag from my keyboard and mouse in gutsy.    Doesn't seem to happen in my Windows partition.. I have rebooted and it's still happening any suggestions?  Also getting alot of stuck keys
[00:24] <DJDarkstar> Jack_Sparrow - Ok that fixed that but now the video plays fine for a few seconds then goes black and picks up again
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> dwater, I do not believe they are included on the Livecd
[00:24] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, something like this... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58935/
[00:25] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, it doesn't matter if i specify the filesystem or not, it shows the same message
[00:25] <dwater> thanks Jack - it's as I suspected - some of the howtos mention the alternate, but don't say why (ie that the raid options aren't on the standard cd)
[00:25] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: vfat is fat32, you said the partition was fat16
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, what does fglrxinfo show in terminal  ati or mesa
[00:25] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, i know, i tried doing it with msdos (the other was an example)
[00:26] <DJDarkstar> Jack_Sparow, I don't know how to get that info
[00:26] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, open terminal...  type fglrxinfo
[00:26] <thesaint4444> sorted... - many thanks for the help guys, have a good night! :-)
[00:26] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, it does not matter if i use the -t option or no option, it shows the same message
[00:26] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: ok, are you sure you have the correct partition?
[00:27] <DJDarkstar> display: :0.0  screen: 0
[00:27] <DJDarkstar> OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
[00:27] <DJDarkstar> OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1300 / X1550 Series
[00:27] <DJDarkstar> OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6)
[00:27] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58936/
[00:27] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, i was thinking that maybe that partition is corrupted or maybe the partition table...
[00:28] <Arcticpenguin380> !vfat
[00:28] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: ok, have you tried runnign ckfs on it?
[00:28] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, nope, i will do it now, thanks ;)
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, Sorry I dont have many answers atm, struggling to wake up from my nap..  I would try #Compiz channel and make sure you have everythin setup as that may help with everything in general..
[00:29] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: sorry fsck
[00:29] <DJDarkstar> no prob, thank you .. and i'll give them a try
[00:29] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, thanks i will do it know!
[00:29] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: yw
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, I have a page of notes on that card if you get stuck
[00:30] <DJDarkstar> Send me the file.
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, Let me pastebin it one sec
[00:31] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: if you're not sure, you can always image the partition and do whatever you want on the image file instead of the partition, that way you won't accidentally further corrupt stuff on the partition.
[00:31] <DJDarkstar> no prob and thank you so much
[00:31] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, how do i do that?
[00:31] <SpudDogg> There's no sense crying over every mistake.  You just keep trying until you run out of cake.
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> DJDarkstar, Please pay particular attention to the other xorg edits...   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58937/
[00:32] <mandrig> how do you configure a wireless care?
[00:32] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/path/to/image/file
[00:32] <mandrig> cadr*
[00:32] <mandrig> shit, card***
[00:32] <DJDarkstar> will do
[00:32] <r3n0c> hey, how do i make a bash script runnable from any directory? if i put it in /bin/ shouldn't i be able to sh script.sh from wherever i want?
[00:32] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: then you would need to use -oloop when mounting the image file
[00:32] <Starnestommy> r3n0c: it'll probably safer to put it in /usr/local/bin/
[00:32] <^4nDr3s> pajamian, thanks i'll try that too ;)
[00:33] <r3n0c> Starnestommy, it should jus twork tho right?
[00:33] <farruinn> r3n0c: as long as it's anywhere in your PATH
[00:33] <pajamian> ^4nDr3s: just make sure you have enough space to create an image file which will hold the entire partition.
[00:33] <r3n0c> farruinn,  so there is no way to get it to be global?
[00:33] <Flyerfye> How do I run dvd's on ubuntu
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> !dvd | Flyerfye
[00:33] <r3n0c> it is just annoying to have to go to that directory to run it, since it does the same thing regardless of where it is run from
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> Bot be gone! egads
[00:34] <farruinn> r3n0c: if it's in your PATH it's global
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> r3n0c,  or make an alias for the full path to the command.
[00:34] <pajamian> Flyerfye: you need libdvdcss from medibuntu and a decent dvd player (I recommend vlc)
[00:34] <mandrig> how do you move a dir in terminal?
[00:34] <farruinn> mandrig: cd [directory]
[00:34] <farruinn> mandrig: wait, mv
[00:34] <Starnestommy> mandrig: mv oldir newdir
[00:34] <mandrig> thanks
[00:34] <farruinn> mandrig: thought you meant "move to"
[00:34] <Pelo> mandrig, mv /dir /dir2
[00:34] <pajamian> mandrig: mv foo bar
[00:35] <r3n0c> ok, me  = bash script noob, i have a script.sh        i have been running it by doing sh script.sh....... where/what should i do to make it work from whever i want
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> r3n0c,  chmod +x it for a start
[00:35] <Pelo> r3n0c, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> alias 'foo=/fullpath/to/foo'
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> is one way.
[00:35] <pajamian> r3n0c: make sure it has a proper hashbang line at the top and chmod it +x
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> r3n0c,  or make a ~/bin dir and keep all your scripts in that dir. and put it in your PATH
[00:36] <r3n0c> oooo so i need #!/bin/bash at the top... i wasn't sure that that was necessary
[00:36] <gregbrady> Does dvd::rip copy standard movie dvd's like dvd shrink does in windows?
[00:36] <pajamian> r3n0c: yeah, or #!/bin/sh
[00:36] <mrbit> hello
[00:36] <r3n0c> ok, one sec
[00:36] <nbkr> gregbrady, Probably, but there is a simpler tool. Try k9copy
[00:36] <goxy> i have problem with ssh credentials is right place for ask?
[00:36] <pajamian> gregbrady: for copying movie dvds I recommend k9copy
[00:37] <nbkr> goxy, Yes.
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> gregbrady, yes or k9copy
[00:37] <gregbrady> nbkr, pajamian, thanks, I'll try that!
[00:37] <mrbit> i've browsed through some faqs and haven't found a solution yet. care if i run  a question by you guys?
[00:37] <pajamian> gregbrady: k9copy will also compress them to fit on a single layer (4 gig) DVD

[00:38] <pajamian> Flyerfye: http://www.medibuntu.org/
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> yeeessssss
[00:38] <Pelo> Flyerfye, add the medibuntu repos to your sources.list file and use apt or synaptic to get the package you want
[00:38] <pajamian> yay!
[00:38] <mrbit> i've changed the socked file too in my.cnf
[00:38] <pajamian> !botsnack
[00:38] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[00:38] <r3n0c> ok so lets say, i put it in /usr/local/bin.   at the top of the script i do #!/usr/local/bin.         but i still cant' run it from anywhere, what do i do next?
[00:38] <nbkr> mrbit, Is the server really up and running? Does it show up in "ps aux"?
[00:38] <mrbit> yes
[00:38]  * MatBoy is happy with gnome :)
[00:38] <mrbit> it is mysqladmin reset-password
[00:38] <mrbit> correct?
[00:38]  * Pelo pats MatBoy on the head , good boy
[00:39] <stinger23843> When i stick the install CD in and go through the install process it hangs at 80% (floppy driver detection) so i have disabled everything to do with floppy drivers in my bios and also unpluged the floppy drive still same error
[00:39] <mrbit> or "mysql reset-password"
[00:39] <pajamian> r3n0c: nope, at the top of the script you put: #!/bin/sh
[00:39] <MatBoy> Pelo, hehe, XFCE is slow these days comapring to gnome :)
[00:39] <goxy> no other distros whe I once type ssh credentials for ssh server  or for example for svn +ssh they are memorized so on the subsequent logins i not need to retype them but on ubutn this is not case Why? and how to make it
[00:39] <goxy> ??
[00:39] <MatBoy> and gnome is very clear, the My Places is alo very nice
[00:39] <pajamian> r3n0c: and set it chmod 755
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> stinger23843, It usually hags there for two or three passes then installs.. wait for it
[00:39] <Pelo> MatBoy,  I like the simplicity of gnome
[00:40] <r3n0c> pajamian, but there's no /bin/sh             or did you mean #!/bin/script.sh
[00:40] <bluebanana> what's the animal name that is the current ubuntu?
[00:40] <MatBoy> Pelo, nah, XFCE is poor comparing to Gnome
[00:40] <stinger23843> Jack_Sparrow how long should i wait last time i tried i think i waited at least 15 - 20 mins and still nothing ?
[00:40] <pajamian> $ ls -la /bin/sh
[00:40] <pajamian> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-11-10 08:50 /bin/sh -> dash
[00:40] <MatBoy> Pelo, but gnome was not that good 2 years ago
[00:40] <Pelo> bluebanana, gibbon , I type of monkey I beleive
[00:40] <nbkr> mrbit, I usually reset passwords via myql "UPDATE mysql.user ...".
[00:40] <pajamian> r3n0c: you should have something like that
[00:40] <mrbit> i've never had to reset one b4
[00:40] <pajamian> r3n0c: you can use /bin/bash if you want
[00:40] <dn4> any idea on how to broadcast on justin.tv using a program like flash media encoder but something open source?
[00:41] <bluebanana> Pelo thank
[00:41] <bluebanana> s
[00:41] <nbkr> goxy, Sorry, I didn't understand what you tried to say. Can you add some full stops in your sentences to make it easier to read?
[00:41] <bradley> how do you get Control Center?
[00:41] <stefano> i can't watch videos anymore, it's just black. it just happens when my second screen is attached and the primary display (laptop) is disabled. what should i do?
[00:41] <Pelo> MatBoy, I installed xubuntu on my aunts comp,  she's not computer savy and I was very disapointed at how "not freindly" the menus and general interface in xcfe are
[00:41] <mrbit> /etc/init.d# mysql reset-password
[00:41] <mrbit> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[00:41] <r3n0c> pajamian,  still get that it can't be opened. i'm try'n to run it from desktop
[00:41] <pajamian> r3n0c: what's the error?
[00:41] <abortd> can anyone help me i accidently  clicked a button on xchat and the top bar thing went away
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> stinger23843, Not sure, that should have been long enough...  use F6  remove quiet and splash for a start  and also try noapic acpi=off   before the --
[00:41] <MatBoy> Pelo, indeed, and than we even didn't talked about KDE yet ;)
[00:41] <bradley> how do you get the compiz control center?
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !ccsm
[00:41] <ubotu> To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[00:42] <r3n0c> sh:  Can't open makeZip.sh
[00:42] <mrbit> bradley: look under the add/remove programs and click on all packages
[00:42]  * Pelo starts to wonder if there is a gnome type pannel menu that can be added in xcfe
[00:42] <mrbit> then search for it
[00:42] <superbob> evenin all
[00:42] <nbkr> dn4, You can create the video with a digital camera and kino. Afterwards transform it to the Flash Video format using ffmepg.
[00:42] <bradley> mrbit: ok now what
[00:42] <mandrig> how do you delete a dir from term?
[00:42] <superbob> I just jumped upto Hardy Heron, and it defaulted to the 386 kernel, which doesnt have smp compiled in
[00:42] <pajamian> r3n0c: it's in /usr/local/bin?
[00:42] <superbob> Is that meant to do that? :-)
[00:42] <dn4> nbkr, kino does the trick?
[00:42] <stefano> where was that dialog where i can set output methods (for webcams and such)?
[00:42] <mrbit> "rm dir" if its empty
[00:42] <gregbrady> k9copy just gives scrambled output when it is trying to encode
[00:42] <mrbit> rm -rf dir    if it has stuff in it
[00:42] <Pelo> superbob, ask in #ubuntu+1
[00:42] <r3n0c> pajamian, yeah, but how do i make it so that i can run it from any directory, just so that i don't have to always go to /usr/local/bin to sh it
[00:43] <superbob> pelo, k ta
[00:43] <dn4> nbkr, I am talking about streaming live video
[00:43] <r3n0c> pajamian, i know that if i navigate to the dir it will work, i'm try'n to make it so that i could run it regardless of were i am
[00:43] <nbkr> dn4, kino is used to get the video data from your digital camera (via firewire) onto your disk. It doesn't broadcast anything.
[00:43] <dn4> nbkr, ahh
[00:43] <pajamian> r3n0c: tell me what this gives you: ls -l /usr/local/bin/makeZip.sh
[00:43] <unwar> Hey guys. :)
[00:43]  * Pelo finds this theme to be impertinently freindly and dangerously cheerfull  http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MurrineRounded?content=54088
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> bradley, Did you install ccsm?
[00:43] <nbkr> dn4, streaming live video could probably be done with vlc
[00:44] <gregbrady> pajamian, I don't think that k9copy works....
[00:44] <r3n0c> pajamian, -rwxr-xr-x 1 r3n0c r3n0c 291 2008-03-08 19:41 /usr/local/bin/makeZip.sh
[00:44] <nbkr> abortd, Press ctrl-f9
[00:44] <pajamian> gregbrady: it works for me all the time
[00:44] <mrbit> nbkr: how exactly do you use this method to change the password?
[00:44] <gregbrady> pajamian, too bad....
[00:44] <bradley> Jack Sparrow: yes
[00:44] <pajamian> r3n0c: chown root.root
[00:44] <bradley> ill show u what im talking about
[00:44] <dn4> nbkr, would vlc pick up my webcam?
[00:44] <abortd> thanks nbkr
[00:44] <bradley> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO8MTAfFhGg
[00:44] <bradley> at around 7 mins
[00:44] <bradley> i need that program
[00:44] <r3n0c> pajamian, ? doesn't work
[00:44] <pajamian> gregbrady: what problem are you having with it?
[00:45] <gregbrady> pajamian, scrambled output
[00:45] <pajamian> r3n0c: that was only part of the command
[00:45] <ctothej> on linux, how can I check the process that is running a specific python script? i want to kill a python script that is running, but more than one instance of python is running and I can't tell the difference.
[00:45] <Pelo> bradley, what does that prog do ?
[00:45] <nbkr> mrbit, I stop the sql server, start it via "mysqld --skip-grant-tables", run mysql, enter the command: "use mysql", enter the command "UPDATE user set PASSWORD = PASSWORD('mynewpass') WHERE User = 'root';
[00:45] <pajamian> gregbrady: did you install libdvdcss?
[00:45] <stefano> where can i set the input method for my webcam?
[00:45] <unwar> Wait, what's he trying to do?
[00:45] <unwar> Sorry, I got in here a little late.
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> bradley, system  pref  advanced effects ...  have you enabled the cube..
[00:45] <r3n0c> pajamian,  ok so chown root makeZip.sh
[00:46] <bradley> Pelo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO8MTAfFhGg look there at 7 minutes. it allows me to add some stuff in
[00:46] <pajamian> r3n0c: yep, root.root
[00:46] <bluebanana> has anyone here used gyach/gyachi/gyache?
[00:46] <Pelo> bradley, that's ccms or what ever it is called, addvance setting for compiz
[00:46] <gregbrady> pajamian, nope and I don't know where to get it
[00:46] <unwar> Sorry, no.
[00:46] <bluebanana> (a yahoo messenger client for linux)
[00:46] <nbkr> dn4, If the camera is compatible to video4linux, than yes, vlc should do this.
[00:46] <pajamian> gregbrady: medibuntu
[00:46] <unwar> You can use Pidgin, though.
[00:46] <bradley> Jack_Sparrow: sorry look at 6:31
[00:46] <unwar> bluebanana: It works the same way.
[00:46] <r3n0c> pajamian, same problem
[00:46] <pajamian> gregbrady: http://www.medibuntu.org/
[00:46] <pajamian> r3n0c: sudo
[00:47] <unwar> I can help you get set up if you want.
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> bradley, I do do flash...
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> dont
[00:47] <bluebanana> unwar: so you use it? Because i have a question regarding voice calls
[00:47] <r3n0c> pajamian,  i mean when i try to run it, i did the command: sudo chown root.root makeZip.sh
[00:47] <mrbit> ok, ill try that nb
[00:47] <mrbit> thanks
[00:47] <gregbrady> pajamian, thanks, I'll check that out
[00:47] <bradley> Pelo look at this video at 6:31 for what im talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO8MTAfFhGg
[00:47] <bluebanana> unwar: i was wondering whether gyach* allows me to make PC-to-phone calls
[00:47] <pajamian> r3n0c: and you were in the /usr/local/bin directory?
[00:47]  * Pelo starts singing some old "the Police" song to annoy  Jack_Sparrow
[00:47] <bluebanana> unwar: I have money on my yahoo voice account.
[00:47] <unwar> Sorry, don't think so.
[00:47] <r3n0c> pajamian,  it runs fine from /usr/local/bin..... i wanna make it work from everywhere
[00:47] <cpk1> r3n0c: you mean chown root:root: somezip.sh?
[00:47] <unwar> Pidgin doesn't, I know that.
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo has a death wish
[00:48] <pajamian> r3n0c: I mean you ran the chown command from there?
[00:48] <cpk1> i mean root:root
[00:48] <r3n0c> pajamian,  yeah, and when i go to the properties of the file it says that root is owner for everything
[00:48] <unwar> Sorry. I'd imagine Yahoo was primarily geared toward Windows users.
[00:48] <pajamian> r3n0c: ok, good
[00:48] <pajamian> r3n0c: echo $PATH
[00:48] <amortvigil> why does my system use so much memory when i have it on a evening : Mem:   2075624k total,  2020872k used,    54752k free,    45200k buffers
[00:48] <Pelo> bradley, the theme thing ?
[00:48] <goxy> @nbkr for example when I type
[00:48] <goxy> svn co  http://somesite-svn.cvsdude.com/somesite/trunk  somesite/
[00:48] <goxy> to checout repo after that server ask me for credentials
[00:48] <goxy> i type them and next time when I need to checkout its no need to reenter credentials but on suse,vector and other distros.Unlike these distros ubuntu always ask me to retype them again and again , how to make ubuntu behave like other distros?
[00:48] <gregbrady> pajamian, sorry I can't seem to figure out how to find and downlad it
[00:49] <bradley> Pelo: yeah, it changes your taskbars i think
[00:49] <jscinoz> I'm trying to create an SSH tunnel as shown by this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN i've set the required settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and i have root on both machines, however when i run "ssh <IP_ADDRESS> -w 0:0" it connects normal, and no tun devices are created. what am i doing wrong?
[00:49] <MatBoy> what would be the best package to have a rightmousebutton menu as XFCE has ?
[00:49] <r3n0c> pajamian, from /usr/local/bin echo $PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[00:49] <pajamian> gregbrady: goto this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and follow the directions
[00:49] <Pelo> bradley, right click your desktiop, select , change wallpaper, first tab, pick a theme, hit the cuscomise button at the bottom of the dialog ,
[00:49] <pajamian> r3n0c: it should work from anywhere.
[00:50] <nbkr> goxy, Sounds more like an svn problem than a problem in general. Let me have a look at the svn book.
[00:50] <Pelo> bradley, for the gnome-pannel theme just right clidck the pannel hit properties, second tab,
[00:50] <r3n0c> pajamian,  woot, ok, why don't i have to say 'sh' before the filename anymore?
[00:50] <bradley> Pelo: thats not it, but ill look later
[00:51] <pajamian> r3n0c: because it has the #! and is set +x
[00:51] <pajamian> r3n0c: the #! tells it run the file under that interpreter.
[00:52]  * Pelo is still stuck with that stupid song in his head, thanks a lot Jack_Sparrow
[00:52] <goxy> @nbkr Im not sure but I think is not svn specific  problem because similar situlation is for ssh login not only foe svn
[00:52] <r3n0c> pajamian, ok, gotcha.  thanks i was kinda wonder'n what the #! was for
[00:52] <pajamian> r3n0c: it's used in scripts that are written in other languages as well...
[00:52] <pajamian> r3n0c: for example a perl script will have: #!/usr/bin/perl
[00:53] <pajamian> r3n0c: and a python script will have #!/usr/bin/python
[00:53] <gregbrady> pajamian, understood and working wonderfully!
[00:53] <pajamian> gregbrady: cool, congrats!
[00:53] <gregbrady> pajamian, thanks!
[00:53] <pajamian> gregbrady: yw
[00:54] <nbkr> goxy - well I'm running serveral distributions here and all of them ask me the ssh passwords if I don't use certificate login.
[00:55] <Jack_Sparrow> bradley, Here is one example   http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotoc4.png
[00:55] <Du_Matu> exit
[00:55] <Du_Matu> quit
[00:55] <bradley> right what im trying to do now is get the windows task bar
[00:56] <MatBoy> I can't set backupgrounds per screen on Gnome :S
[00:56] <Pelo> bradley, you want your gnome pannel to look like a windows taskbar ?
[00:57] <Jack_Sparrow> MatBoy, You can do it on each side of the cube, but you then lose the icons on each desktop
[00:57] <MatBoy> Jack_Sparrow, I have 4 screens... no compiz enabled yet
[00:57] <mandrig> How would I reset all of my ip settings and wireless card data to be like a fresh install?
[00:57] <mrbit> rn: i'm still getting the socket error
[00:57] <mandrig> How would I reset all of my ip settings and wireless card data to be like a fresh install?
[00:57] <bradley> Pelo: yes
[00:57] <mrbit> i've stopped it and did it just the way you asked
[00:57] <Pelo> bradley, how much have you done so far ?
[00:57] <mrbit> i even edited my.cnf to change the sock files
[00:58] <mandrig> How would I reset my ip settings and wireless card drivers to what ubuntu installs?
[00:58] <bradley> Pelo: of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO8MTAfFhGg all of it but make my icons the window's one and make the taksbar appear like windows
[00:59] <pajamian> bah, ubotu is down again :-(
[00:59] <patrick> Pidgin won't start for me in Ubuntu 7.10.
[00:59] <goxy> @nbkr so then U think is always need to retype user and password when I login on the server evne on the subsequent logins from one terminal?
[00:59] <patrick> What gives?
[01:00] <pajamian> patrick: works for me
[01:00] <mandrig> How would I reset my ip settings and wireless card drivers to what ubuntu installs?
[01:00] <Starnestommy> patrick: is it showing up in the tray when you try to start iy?
[01:00] <Starnestommy> *it
[01:00] <patrick> Nah.
[01:00] <patrick> It shows up in the taskbar
[01:00] <nbkr> goxy, If you use certificate based login for ssh, than no, otherwise, yes.
[01:00] <patrick> on bottom
[01:00] <Pelo> bradley, so basicaly you are missing a start button and that gone awfull blue bar ? ,  find a screenshot online,  sample the startbutton from it and save it somewhere you can change it in gconf-editor in /apps/pannel/mainmenu ,I beleive,  and you an set the sample for the blue bar by right clicking the pannel  , properties,  second tab,  use picture or someting, bottom of the dialog
[01:00] <patrick> but then closes after a few seconds
[01:00] <stefano_> where can i setup video output preferences? i know there was a dialog for that i just can't find it
[01:00] <pajamian> mandrig: we saw your question the first 5 times you asked it.
[01:00] <kestir> "gone awful"?
[01:00] <kestir> what does that mean?
[01:00] <patrick> Anyone else have this problem?
[01:01] <Pelo> bradley, or yo might want to look in www.gnomelook.org to see if you can'T find an xp theme you can steal from
[01:01] <bradley> Pelo: ok,
[01:01] <Starnestommy> patrick: what happens when you try to start it from the terminal?
[01:01] <patrick> I haven't tried it
[01:01] <pajamian> patrick: run it from the terminal and look at the output
[01:01] <patrick> what's the command?
[01:01] <bradley> Pelo: im trying to use the Vista one btw
[01:01] <mandrig> pajamian: sorry, pidgin was acting up
[01:01] <juanffx> HI, somebody can help me?... Look, when i try to compile in gcc or g++ i get a lot of errors like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58939/
[01:01] <Starnestommy> patrick: pidgin
[01:01] <Nuke_> burning a DVD on a<EMAIL_ADDRESS>at 2x, with these stats: Cpu(s):  0.7%us,  0.3%sy,  0.0%ni, 94.6%id,  4.5%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
[01:01] <kestir> Pelo: not that you care...but the phrase is "god awful"...not "gone awful"
[01:01] <patrick> um
[01:01] <pajamian> patrick: pidgin
[01:01] <patrick> nothing happened
[01:01] <Nuke_> and load is over 1
[01:01] <Nuke_> wtf?
[01:01] <patrick> it just went to the prompt again
[01:01] <Pelo> bradley, go to www.digg.com there was a tutorial to do this a last week , do a search
[01:01] <Nuke_> burning a dvd at 4x makes the system too slow to use. why might this be?
[01:01] <Starnestommy> patrick: try running sudo aptitude reinstall pidgin
[01:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Nuke_, Please stop the rude shorthand
[01:02] <goxy> @ im sure this is not rue because I use vector in dual boot and if I type once login credentials than next time noo need to type them , even applications using ssh can login without retype credentials
[01:02] <Pelo> kestir, it was nice to start with , then it just gone awefull
[01:02] <patrick> k
[01:02] <kestir> Pelo: :D
[01:02] <patrick> k it finished
[01:02] <patrick> run pidgin again?
[01:02] <Prefix100> ..
[01:02] <Starnestommy> yes
[01:02] <patrick> nah, nothing.
[01:03] <goxy> @nbkr im sure this is not rue because I use vector in dual boot and if I type once login credentials than next time noo need to type them , even applications using ssh can login without retype credentials
[01:03] <goxy> but anyway thanks for try to help me
[01:03] <pajamian> patrick: also try renaming the .purple directory
[01:03] <s2a> is everything in ubuntu 64-bit 64-bit (the pre-installed stuff) or some things r 32-bit stuff that work on 64?
[01:03] <bradley> Pelo: thanks
[01:03] <nbkr> goxy, Try it with installing the ssh-agent. That should cache the credentials.
[01:04] <Starnestommy> s2a: I think everything is compiled for 64 bit. but there are some packages that implent 32-bit compatability
[01:04] <MarzOmega> does anyone know if synaptic package manager archives packages to the hard drive, or if there is a way to make it do so.
[01:04] <patrick> There is no .purple directory.
[01:04] <patrick> ?
[01:04]  * Pelo put a new theme together tonight but he doesn'T much care for it , even if it is very classy
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> MarzOmega, Yes it does.. /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:04] <MarzOmega> thanx
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:04] <s2a> Starnestommy, wine for 64-bit only runs 32 bit windows apps?
[01:04] <Starnestommy> s2a: it should
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo,  http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/7455/screenshot1hq9.png
[01:05] <patrick> Meh.
[01:05] <patrick> So what should I do?
[01:05] <pajamian> patrick: ask in #pidgin
[01:05] <patrick> k
[01:05] <s2a> Starnestommy, does it also run 64? im just asking out of curiosity
[01:05] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  your current theme ?
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[01:05] <Starnestommy> s2a: yes
[01:06] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, not bad,  not to my taste but not bad
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo, I know really really wrong
[01:06] <pajamian> s2a: the 64 bit version of wine is really 32 bit.
[01:06] <s2a> pajamian, so there is no speed increase?
[01:06] <bradley> how do u change your View Cube thing to a cube again?
[01:07] <pajamian> s2a: wel, last time I checked anyways, I think there's a FAQ on winehq that discusses it, but I am pretty sure that they just packaged up the 32 bit version for 64 bit.
[01:07] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  this is what I currently have  http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturexchatpelo1ubuntuui3.png
[01:07] <bradley> Jack_Sparrow: how do you make your desktop thing a cub again?
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo,  I didnt know you were swedish
[01:08] <nhudan> hi every body
[01:08] <goxy> @nbkr I install it not works
[01:08] <pajamian> s2a: I generally recommend that if you are running a workstation and you want to use things such as java, flash, proprietary video codecs, etc, that you install the 32 bit version of ubuntu, even if you have a 64 bit cpu.  There won't be that much speed loss and it will be much more compatible and easier to get things working in.
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> bradley, Scroll back..., take notes etc
[01:08] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, I'm not , what makes you think I am ?
[01:08] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: that was funny
[01:08] <eatatjoes2> hey, i'm new to ubuntu and was wondering if i need antivirus (i know there is no linux viruses, but i run a dual boot with xp)
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo, Sarcasm....
[01:08] <bradley> ok, ill look for it
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> HI nickrud
[01:08] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, I never get it
[01:09] <nhudan> tell me please how other computers in local network can see my computer?
[01:09] <patrick> Hey Starnestommy
[01:09] <patrick> look at this
[01:09] <patrick> http://pastebin.com/m5d0a5a88
[01:09] <s2a> pajamian, i alredy have 32-bit installed..im thinking of havign a dual-boot one 64-bit and other 32-bit, its all good since each os can read the other's files without problem and stuff ;)
[01:10] <pajamian> eatatjoes2: there are antivirus programs for Linux but you generally don't need them and they mainly check for windows viruses.  You won't get a virus passed into windows unless you share files you downloaded from ubuntu to windows.
[01:10] <stefano_> i can't watch videos anymore (they're just black screen, but i get sound) - need help
[01:10] <pajamian> s2a: that's cool.
[01:10] <eatatjoes2> pajamian,  thats what i'm concerned with
[01:10] <Starnestommy> patrick: you may want to show that to someone in #pidgin.  They might know what's causing it.
[01:10] <l815> so i just did a live cd with fedora, and the effects + video work just fine with my intel 965, but in ubuntu it doesn't work -_-
[01:10] <pajamian> s2a: when I first installed ubuntu on this computer I installed 64 bit but later changed to 32 bit because of the hassles.
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud, I am off to bed, I over did it today...
[01:11] <pajamian> eatatjoes2: if you want antivirus for Linux I hear that clamAV is the way to go.
[01:11] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: see you 'monday'
[01:11] <patrick> k I did, Starnestommy
[01:11] <eatatjoes2> pajamian, okay thanks
[01:11] <patrick> Thanks.
[01:11] <bradley> is there anyway to drag your windows, around the cub?
[01:11] <bradley> *cube?
[01:11] <myconid> Just run AV on the windows desktops.
[01:11] <myconid> its a waste of cpu cycles
[01:11] <Pelo> bradley, just grab it and move it to the side of the screen , the cube should start rolling
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo, I was teasing that your page was not in english...  it was obvioulsy not swedish...
[01:12] <pajamian> stefano: did they used to work?
[01:12] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, french
[01:12] <mandrig> Can anyone tell me how to reset my wireless card settings to what ubuntu installs?
[01:12] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, as in french-canadian
[01:12] <bradley> Pelo: i know but, on this one video i saw someone who had the windows spaced in 3d on the cube, when it was roatin
[01:12] <Pelo> mandrig,hve you tried  going into the network thingyand just deleting the info ?
[01:13] <Pelo> bradley, ask in #compiz
[01:13] <Pelo> brb
[01:13] <mandrig> Pelo: I'm not sure what network thingy you're talking about
[01:13] <l815> can anyone explain why my video doesnt work with effects on but it does just fine in fedora?
[01:14] <mandrig> Pelo: I'm not sure what network thingy you're talking about
[01:14] <s2a> pajamian, well i can always stay with 32 bit and resize the 64-bit to minimum for wenever i need it
[01:14] <Pelo> mandrig, in gnome , menu > system > admin > network
[01:14] <Sonja> !scan
[01:14] <Sonja> !scanner
[01:14] <Sonja> how do i scan somethigng? what program should i use?
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> l815, HAs to do with hardware identification...  video card or monitor.... one or the other
[01:14] <s2a> pajamian, and ill have gparted for both so i can do everything without needing live cd ;)
[01:14] <tinman> Sonja: wrong channel?
[01:14] <Pelo> !xsane ! Sonja
[01:14] <pajamian> s2a: I thoguht you said dual boot, what you're talking about is virtualization
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Sonja, xsane
[01:14] <Sonja> thanxs
[01:14] <s2a> pajamian, no dual boot
[01:15] <Pelo> is the bot dead ?
[01:15] <Sonja> tinman usually the bot knows all answers
[01:15] <Starnestommy> looks like ubotu still is not working
[01:15] <l815> Jack_Sparrow, i get that, but i skip the check in ubuntu but video doesn't work if i enable compiz
[01:15] <l815> Jack_Sparrow, basically is there another thing that gives some effects that isn't compiz?
[01:15] <dryrot> when I turn on ipmasquerading, i can't ping my local machine anymore.  Why is that?
[01:15]  * Pelo puts ubotu on its charger base
[01:15] <pajamian> s2a: with dual boot you have a choice between one or the other at boot time, you can't "minimize" one of them while workign in the other.
[01:15] <s2a> pajamian, ya i no
[01:15] <tinman> Sonja: i see,^^
[01:15] <s2a> pajamian, im not that stupid
[01:15]  * macrobad также пока что нечем похвастаться: два небольших сайта на заказ, и то только первый почти без динамики.
[01:15] <hischild> hey ... how can i manually remove the atheros hal thing that shows up in restricted driver? i've disabled it there yet it still says it's in use and it's conflicting with my custom drivers
[01:15] <macrobad> oops
[01:15] <Pelo> !ru | macrobad
[01:15] <mandrig> Pelo: I need to delete drivers I've installed and restore the /etc/network/interfaces file to its original state.
[01:15] <pajamian>  <s2a> pajamian, well i can always stay with 32 bit and resize the 64-bit to minimum for wenever i need it
[01:16] <s2a> pajamian, i ment like the partition size
[01:16] <Pelo> mandrig, windows driver on ndiswrapper or linux driver ?
[01:16] <pajamian> s2a: oh, ok, it sounded to me like you were talking about minimizing a window
[01:17] <s2a> pajamian, im trying to do that with xp but thats another story
[01:17]  * drc thinks everyone forgot to read utobu's contract:  para 45.52a.5 clearly states he has weekends off :)
[01:17] <s2a> pajamian, i had it working then now i dont no wat happened and it doesnt work
[01:17] <l815> how can i get the basic minimize & maximize effects without using compiz?
[01:17] <mandrig> I've tried both, and I manually uninstalled the ndiswrapper, but I'm not sure where to uninstall the linux driver
[01:17] <mandrig> pelo
[01:17] <mandrig> ^
[01:17] <hischild> l815, as far as i know, you don't, since they are a part of compiz.
[01:17] <pajamian> s2a: hehehe, yep.  good luck with that, and yes, you should be able to do dual boot, just have a seperate /home partition and share it between both.

[01:18] <pajamian> yipes!
[01:18] <l815> hischild, well i saw an option on mandriva live disk which was mateisse or something, but maybe it's only kde -_-
[01:18] <hischild> lawl ...
[01:19] <macrobad> Ha! Why does it take ubotu 3 minutes to send me a message??
[01:19] <hischild> l815, if you're talking about the real effects ... i think you're talking about compiz ... though there might be other software out there that does the same thing ... just dont know of it =)
[01:19] <Pelo> mandrig, also check hidden folder in your /home folder, see if there is anyting relating to ndiswrapper in there and in synaptic,  uninstall ndiswrapper "completely" it should remove settings,  same for the linux drivers, remvoe those drivers from modprobe
[01:19] <Pelo> mandrig, but I am just guessing here
[01:19] <hischild> hey ... how can i manually remove the atheros hal thing that shows up in restricted driver? i've disabled it there yet it still says it's in use and it's conflicting with my custom drivers
[01:19] <pajamian> macrobad: he's been having problems today.
[01:19] <Starnestommy> macrobad: ubotu is being weird
[01:19] <Starnestommy> er, weirder than usual
[01:19] <pajamian> hehehe
[01:19] <l815> hischild, i don't want all the effects of compiz because i have issues with video if i have it enabled, i just want the basics to make it not so boring lol
[01:20] <hischild> l815, can't you just disable all the effects then? and what kind of issues?
[01:20] <macrobad> ok.. That explains..
[01:20] <l815> hischild, if i play a video the player just closes, if i change the rendering engine to x11, the video quality is horrible
[01:20] <eatatjoes2> does anyone know how to update clamav definitions (i type freshclam and it says they are out of date, but i duno how to update them)
[01:21] <cyphase> Does anyone know if it's possible to make a file "Windows hidden" on a FAT32 partition from Linux?
[01:21] <l815> hischild, were as when i just booted off fedora's cd, the basic effects work out of the box + the video is great with no problems
[01:21] <m3rcin> siema
[01:21] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, man freshclam  there is probably an option you need to use while runnign it as root
[01:21] <juanffx> how can I reinstall all the compilers that came with ubuntu for default?
[01:21] <hischild> l815, i see ...
[01:21] <m3rcin> jest ktos
[01:21] <l815> hischild, just wondering if there are some other options i didn't know about that could fix this
[01:22] <Pelo> cyphase, fat32 doesnT' let you do much,  I would guess not
[01:22] <askvictor> how can I force my CPU to run slower? I have an AM2 4000
[01:22] <gregbrady> how to install kde4 in ubuntu?
[01:22] <Pelo> gregbrady, ask in #kubuntu or in #kde
[01:22] <cyphase> Pelo: then how does Windows make files hidden?
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> gregbrady: i think sudo aptitude install kde
[01:22] <gregbrady> pelo, thanks
[01:22] <Pelo> cyphase, it' an attribute
[01:22] <eatatjoes2> Pelo,  hmm it says that freshclam is the updating command
[01:22] <cyphase> Pelo: ok.. can you set that attribute from Linux?
[01:23] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, run it with sudo
[01:23] <Pelo> cyphase, I don'T think you can
[01:23] <pajamian> cyphase: fat and fat32 use a special flag to indicate hidden that Linux file systems don't have, I don't know of any utils to change that flag in linux.
[01:23] <hischild> askvictor, depends ... does your hardware support it? then it will do that by default using ondemand
[01:23] <icesword> ! info kde-desktop-environment

[01:24] <mandrig> Pelo: I'm not sure what to do when it comes to modprobe
[01:24] <r3m0t> oh well
[01:24] <cyphase> r3m0t: that's for ext
[01:25] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, the virus definitions are out of date,  the apps is not ,   man clamav , see if there is an uptade optons such as  clamav -u or someting ,  then run clamav with sudo and the option
[01:25] <hischild> eatatjoes2, have you tried to update clamav-freshclam ?
[01:25] <askvictor> hischild: hardware supports it; but I want to force an upper limit on the CPU speed
[01:25] <Pelo> mandrig, man modprobe, look for the option to remove ,  then run lsmode to see what is listed, find the ones you want to remvoe then type   sudo modeprobe -r modulename ( I says -r but it mgith be someting else)
[01:26] <hischild> askvictor, see if cpudyn or powernowd is installed

[01:28] <Roey> Hello
[01:28] <Roey> Quick question:  I have an Intel i945 graphics card.  X mis-detects it, so I fixed /etc/X11/xorg.conf (I changed from "i810" to "intel" driver).  But for some reason, kdm (which starts automatically) does not seem to be following /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  What's wrong here?
[01:28] <eatatjoes2> Pelo,  hmm same problem, not sure whats the problem
[01:28] <Roey> i.e. when I start kdm (on bootup), I get unaccelerated graphics.
[01:29] <yuji_> Anyone know how to deal with my sound issue? It seems like 50% to 100% volume is 0 to 100%. (0 to 50% is silent)
[01:29] <crimsun> Roey: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.*.log
[01:29] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, got clamtk installed ? it's a gnome gui for clamav
[01:29] <askvictor> hischild: powernowd is installed and running; CPU frequency scaling is active and working, but I want to know how to tweak it
[01:29] <hischild> askvictor, man powernowd should give you all the info
[01:29] <dsmith_> how do I restart alsa?
[01:30] <crimsun> yuji_: should be fixed in latest alsa-driver that I just uploaded to hardy.
[01:30] <askvictor> hischild: cool; thanks
[01:30] <crimsun> dsmith_: meaning unload then reload the driver or meaning reset the volumes?
[01:30] <eatatjoes2> Pelo,  just installed it and it says "must be root to install update signatures"
[01:30] <dsmith_> unload and then reload
[01:30] <hischild> Pelo, did you pm me or .... ?
[01:30] <Roey> crimsun:   oh hey :)
[01:30] <dsmith_> alsa crashs now and then on me
[01:30] <yuji_> crimsun: thank you
[01:30] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, now start it from the command line with   sudo clamtk  and you can update the signatures fomr the menu
[01:31] <mandrig> hischild: So, I can't find anything on my wireless ethernet card
[01:31] <crimsun> dsmith_: if you're not using hardy, there's modprobe+lsmod+awk magic to do it.
[01:31] <Roey> crimsun:   there's nothing to upload... I mean, if I issue 'startx' then it loads the accelerated drivers so I'm assuming it's reading /etc/X11/xorg.conf fine.
[01:31] <eatatjoes2> pelo, it says no virus def. found
[01:31] <dj_> hi, where can i find /etc/modules.conf ?? in alsa they always talk about it, but i cant find that file
[01:31] <crimsun> Roey: have to see your /var/log/Xorg.*.log to confirm/otherwise
[01:31] <mandrig> hischild: wait, I may have
[01:31] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, then your definitions are uptodate
[01:31] <Mr_Bunny_> Can Ubuntu boot off a slave drive, or does it have to boot of the master?
[01:32] <kostkon> dj_, give "locate modules.conf"
[01:32] <hischild> Mr_Bunny_, it can boot of both (i boot of a slave in my case)
[01:32] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, you can now run it as a regular user ,
[01:32] <Roey> crimsun:   ok, I'll do it later then (have some other things to contend with)--thanks though :0
[01:32] <eatatjoes2> Pelo, but it says (0 signatures)
[01:32] <Mr_Bunny_> hischild: ok thanks
[01:32] <hischild> mandrig, what was the problem with your wireless card? and what card do you have?
[01:33] <LinuxMonkey> Mr_Bunny_: can boot of any installed drive, hehehe I even had it boot off a usb drive. lol
[01:33] <Pelo> eatatjoes2, you got the original msg because no updates had been done in a while,  now you did theupdate,  no update was needed ,  you can get back to your life
[01:33] <eatatjoes2> Pelo,  okay thanks

[01:41] <dozr> windows works without havign to jump through hoops while with ubuntu you need to use sudo and all sorts of other silliness
[01:41] <FY1> any recommendations for voice recognition
[01:41] <one_matthias> Pelo: i like to unistall the windows support for sharing of directories in my computer to get back my performance ...
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> dozr,  yea whatever..
[01:41] <pajamian> cyphase: in case you're still looking, apparently the korn shell has a builtin chmod command that supports changing the windows hidden attribute (chmod -h filename, chmod +h filename).  I would try, "sudo apt-get install korn" and then, "korn -c 'chmod -h filename'"
[01:41] <pppoe_dude> anyone heard of bluecoat?
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> dozr: its not silly at all.
[01:41] <dozr> if its on youtube it must be true
[01:41] <mandrig> hischild: its a Realtek RTL8187B
[01:41] <Pelo> one_matthias, don'T know what to tell you , what do the other screensave look like ? are they regular speed ?
[01:41] <pppoe_dude> oops wrong channel
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> when windows breaks. You are often totally stuck.. when linux breaks - you can pop the 'hood' and tweak the engine. :)
[01:42] <dozr> i havent had any problems with windows that i couldnt fix
[01:42] <mandrig> hischild: I got the card working by following this http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/blog/linux-on-the-satellite-a215-s7407/
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> ive not seen an OS yet that dosent have some issue with somthing
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> dozr,  that Proves its perfect then.. i guess.
[01:42] <Pelo> one_matthias, I don'T know how you would do that,  except removing samba but you probably don'T want to do that if you still want to communicate with other comps on the network
[01:42] <FY1> !speech regonition
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_Willis: noo, MS Windows is perfect!  it does everything perfect!
[01:42] <one_matthias> Pelo:  u use the matrix screen saver on my ubuntu 7.10 and the rain of letter is like jumping and not like raining before i started to mess with file sharing in my network to windows computers
[01:42] <hischild> mandrig, ok. and what is the problem?
[01:42] <FY1> !voice recognition
[01:42] <cyphase> pajamian: thanks. i was just curious, i don't really need it :)
[01:42] <Azodon> there a nvidia ntune type program?? one to adjust / overclock my video card?
[01:42] <LinuxMonkey> !etiquette | dozr
[01:42] <dozr> ubuntu isnt even known enough for most manufacturers to support it
[01:42] <pajamian> cyphase: you got me curious too, which is why I dug around for it.
[01:43] <one_matthias> Pelo: if i have to but i did not install samba but the other one for windows ...
[01:43] <stefano_> where can i change webcam settings?
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> dozr,  you really are rambling on now...
[01:43] <one_matthias> Pelo:  SMB something  as it is named but where to uninstall it ...
[01:43] <Pelo> one_matthias, smb is samba
[01:43] <dozr> you can always find drivers for windows but not for linux
[01:43] <one_matthias> okey than samba for windows ...
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> dozr: why are you here ragging on LInux?.. nobody forces you to sue i.t
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> *use it
[01:43] <one_matthias> Pelo:  okey than samba for windows ...
[01:43] <Pelo> one_matthias, menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager,  search for samba remvoe the correct pacage , it will be in green
[01:44] <gregbrady> dozr, you may wish to join a windows chat then
[01:44] <Dr_Willis> dozr,  you are wrong there also. I have many devices with no drivers for vista.  and i have many new devicew with no drivers for 95
[01:44] <pajamian> dozr: not true, when vista came out there was a lot of hardware that wasn't supported on it, still is.
[01:44] <dorijan> has anyone here tried to install unbunto on an ibm xseries lately ? i cant get it to turn off apic at all
[01:44] <dozr> it wouldnt be fun to bash linux there
[01:44] <dozr> they would all agree
[01:44] <Dr_Willis> dozr,  wrong again.. actually from what ive seen.. they dont all agree
[01:44] <one_matthias> Pelo:  it saya windows networks (SMB) ...
[01:44] <dozr> vista is windows but windows isnt vista
[01:44] <pajamian> LoL
[01:44] <mandrig> hischild: I couldn't get the card to start without cd to the dir the driver was in , the ./wlan0up, so someone told me that using ndiswrapper, they knew how to have the card start on boot. I tried ndiswrapper, but it didn't work, now I want to erase/undo everything I've done to the wireless card and start over.
[01:45] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> IndyGunFreak, if u dont like linux, y r u here?
[01:45] <Pelo> one_matthias, same place , different name,  you remove the same way
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> [Hardy]TuTUXG: ? you really need to properly follow the conversation
[01:45] <gregbrady> dozr, then have fun in your chosen system
[01:45] <pajamian> dozr: then be more specific.
[01:45] <hischild> [Hardy]TuTUXG, dozr started the discussion. if you wish to blame someone, blame him.
[01:45] <hischild> mandrig, i see. give me a second while i read up on it
[01:45] <Les_Caesars> how do I install cross-dependent .deb files?
[01:45]  * Pelo wonders why dozr is still in this channel
[01:45] <one_matthias> Pelo: the samba is not green ..., i looked for windows but does not find anything there ...
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> Pelo,  ops are tired :)
[01:45] <mandrig> hischild: thanks
[01:45] <dorijan> i tried with xxx noapic-- in the boot but still no luck :(
[01:46] <dozr> because it everyone knows im right
[01:46] <dozr> right = might
[01:46] <Pelo> one_matthias, search for smb then
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> dorijan: maybe the alt. install cd?
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> dozr,  actually everyone knows you are wrong and we are laughing at you.
[01:46] <LinuxMonkey> dozr please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:46] <Pelo> IndyGunFreak, aren't you an opp yet ?
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> dorijan:  and are you sure its an apic issue?
[01:46] <drc> Pelo: The ops are luring him closer so they can shoot him and we can all have troll stew for supper
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: lmao, thats a good one...
[01:46] <dozr> nah i want you all to agree that im right
[01:47] <one_matthias> Pelo: okey will do, let me see what i find ...
[01:47] <dorijan> IndyGunFreak quite sure the last thing before the kernel panic
[01:47] <LjL> dozr: i think there *is* something we all agree about you
[01:47] <pajamian> dozr: ever get a USB device, printer, camera, whatever with a big red tag or sticker on the USB port or cable that says, "Make sure to install the software before plugging in this device"?  Well, I get USB devices and plug them into my linux box without installing any special software and they "just work".
[01:47] <gregbrady> dozr, I'll agree if you shut up and move to offtopic
[01:47] <LinuxMonkey> dozr this a support channel not a debate channel.
[01:47] <dorijan> is APIC trying to access CPU 18
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> dozr,  i imagine most all of us have you on ignoer allready
[01:47] <dorijan> while the system only has 4 real cpus
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> dorijan: ok.
[01:47] <LinuxMonkey> LjL:  TY
[01:47] <LjL> and, don't feed the troll
[01:47] <brownie17> hi. i'm trying to install ndiswrapper for a atheros wireless card from a toshiba laptop on an AMD64 system, what i don't understand is where i am supposed to get copies of the actual drivers?
[01:48]  * Pelo gives LjL  a cookie
[01:48] <one_matthias> Pelo:  i did not find anything there either, well let it be and hope to find it later in some other way ...
[01:48] <pajamian> yeah, I know, don't feed the troll, it's so tempting, though, heh
[01:48]  * LinuxMonkey pets LjL 's pet troll
[01:48] <one_matthias> Pelo:  do you have experiance with bluetooth ?
[01:48] <patrick> Holy s
[01:48] <Pelo> brownie17, from your windows install or from the driver disk, or even fromt eh maker's website
[01:48] <dorijan> i tried almost all modes so far apic=off / noapic / both of them but always the same
[01:48] <patrick> I just found an alien

[01:48] <Pelo> one_matthias, none what so ever
[01:48] <dozr> where was i
[01:48] <brownie17> Pelo, oh they can be extracted from a windows driver? thankyou very much
[01:48]  * Pelo doesn'T like all this fancy technology stuff
[01:49] <dozr> so ubuntu is full of fail
[01:49] <one_matthias> Pelo:  ?
[01:49] <vadim> I am running ubuntu on VMware and I would like to make the console bigger; how can I do it?
[01:49] <hischild> mandrig, ok. so you want to remove the ndiswrapper?
[01:49] <Pelo> brownie17, ndiswrapper is so you can use windows drivers in linux , specificaly for wireless

[01:51] <Turel> hey i have a big problem while ubuntu loading gives this error : apt not found you can instal it by typing : apt-get install apt
[01:51] <Les_Caesars> how do I install cross-dependent deb files?
[01:51] <cheeseboy> (chroot) debian / # grub-install --no-floppy /dev/hda
[01:51] <cheeseboy> /dev/ROOT: Not found or not a block device.
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> Les_Caesars,  dpkg -i whateber.deb
[01:51] <cheeseboy> how i fix that?
[01:51] <mandrig> hischild: no.
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> Turel: hmm, that would seem to be quite an issue...
[01:51]  * LinuxMonkey hands pelo a battery tester and says try that
[01:51] <zcat[1]> !moo
[01:51] <Pelo> Turel, I usualy clean instal when I get that, wich is not often
[01:51] <pajamian> Turel: that's a problem alright
[01:51]  * IndyGunFreak agrees with Pelo Turel
[01:51] <hischild> mandrig, then ndiswrapper has been succesfully removed. Do you remember by chance wether you installed restricted drivers?
[01:51] <Les_Caesars> thanks Dr_Willis
[01:51] <Turel> IndyGunFreak : it broken while ubuntu update itself :(
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> i've never had that happen
[01:52] <zcat[1]> no ubout?
[01:52] <zcat[1]> err
[01:52] <pajamian> Turel: I suppose you can grab the package for apt and install it with dpkg
[01:52] <twilker> alguem sabe quais os modens que o ubuntu pega? em portugues!
[01:52]  * zcat[1] needs c0ffee
[01:52] <Turel> pajamian : how can i do it ?
[01:52] <pajamian> Turel: ummmm ...
[01:52]  * hischild gives zcat[1] coffee
[01:52] <one_matthias> Pelo: is there another place to look for remove stuff than in synt ... and add remove programs ...
[01:53] <mandrig> hischild: for my graphics card, yes. did you read the page I sent you earlier? I downloaded and installed a modded driver for my wireless card.
[01:53] <Turel> pajamian : i have setup cd can i do it with it ?
[01:53] <pajamian> Turel: ask the tough questions why don't-cha? ;-)
[01:53] <twilker> alguem sabe quais os modens que o ubuntu pega? emportugues!
[01:53] <hischild> mandrig, are you talking about the ndiswrapper page you send me? or another one? the other one i haven't received, the ndiswrapper one i have
[01:53] <one_matthias> Pelo: synaptic and add/remove progams
[01:53] <pajamian> Turel: yes, it should be on there, you can also download the newer one from the internet, let me find it, one min...
[01:53] <zcat[1]> ubotu is dead? sleeping?
[01:53] <Pelo> one_matthias, you can do it from the command line with  sudo apt-get remove packagename   if you know the package name,  I recommend you find the gude you used to get it intall in the first place and reverse the command
[01:53] <mandrig> hischild: It wasn't on ndiswrapper.
[01:53] <zcat[1]> ahh, no.. alive :)
[01:53] <LjL> twilker: mas tu les lo que la gente de dice o que? escribe /join #ubuntu-br para falar portugues

[01:54] <one_matthias> Pelo: okey, thank you
[01:54] <jstritar> Anyone know if you can ssh through a machine's ssh tunnel (sort of like a transative ssh?)?
[01:54] <zcat[1]> I guess ubotu doesn't have super cow powers.. no repsonse to !moo
[01:54] <infbliss> Is there a way to install applications into my home directory. This way I need not reinstall applications when I go to another machine. I can just copy my home directory and I will be done.
[01:54] <askvictor> jstritar: yes you can
[01:54] <hischild> mandrig, are you talking about this page? ---> http://danmarner.blogspot.com/2008/01/rtl8187b-linux-native-driver-works-on.html
[01:54] <zcat[1]> jstritar: in both directions, yes
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> infbliss: i believe most apps install in your home directory
[01:55] <LjL> infbliss: no
[01:55] <jstritar> askvictor, A -> B and B-> C and I'm trying to ssh A -> C
[01:55] <mandrig> hischild: no, http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/blog/linux-on-the-satellite-a215-s7407/
[01:55] <LjL> IndyGunFreak: on what system?
[01:55] <one_matthias> Pelo: i got that question when i selected "share" on that particular directory  ...
[01:55] <pajamian> Turel: gutsy?
[01:55] <Turel> 7.10
[01:55] <infbliss> LjL: is it possible to force apt-get to install applications on my home directory
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> LjL: i was thinking most of them did for some reason.. well if they don't, then whats the advantage of putting /home ona  separate partition?
[01:55] <pajamian> Turel: and 32 bit or 64?
[01:55] <LjL> infbliss: no
[01:55] <Turel> 32
[01:55] <zcat[1]> I have a friend who ssh's to my machine and creates a tunnel back through the ssh session so I can connect to his machine.. port forwarding is too much effort :)
[01:55] <infbliss> LjL: ty
[01:55] <brohke1> hello, im having trouble controlling my brightness on my laptop. i have a ibm t61. can someone please help me out. im so frustrated :(
[01:56] <LjL> IndyGunFreak, you got it completely backwards... APT installs everything *outside* of your home directory and *never* touches it. your home directory is almost the *only* thing that you're supposed to touch manually.
[01:56] <mandrig> brohke1: system>prefs>power management
[01:56] <askvictor> jstritar: I don't quite understand; you can ssh from A to B and from B to C but not from A to C?
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> LjL: yeah, i';m realizing that now...
[01:56]  * Pelo edges away from IndyGunFreak , just in case
[01:57] <jstritar> askvictor, B is connect to C over a vpn. I'd like to have B forward A's ssh to C
[01:57] <LjL> !test
[01:57] <mandrig> !test
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> ubotu: failed
[01:57] <LjL> mandrig, one test is more than enough
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[01:57] <jstritar> askvictor, as if C was on A's network
[01:57] <hischild> mandrig, << lsmod | grep r8187 >> does that give you an output?
[01:57] <geirha> infbliss: it wouldn't be a good idea anyway. If the application you installed in your homedir depended on a library the other computer doesn't have, it wouldn't work anyway
[01:58] <zcat[1]> !botsnack
[01:58] <Ashfire908> ok so i've been away from by computer for awhile, and when i got back the system was locking up and i got a noticce about too many file open, and yeah the system isn't working. (though i don't ant to kill the system i want to know what happened and recover nicely)
[01:58] <ubotwo> Fbiled.
[01:58] <ubotwo> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[01:58] <s2a> "Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32-bit distribution." y cant i run 64-bit live cd in 32-bit host os?
[01:58] <hischild> s2a, correct
[01:58] <askvictor> jstritar: from machineA do:  ssh -L 10022:machineC:22 machineB
[01:59] <s2a> hischild, wat?
[01:59] <Turel> pajamian : are u there ?
[01:59] <theTrav> I'm trying to set up a subversion repo on my server, following an online guide.  The guide tells me to use htpasswd2 but when I run it it says command not found.
[01:59] <hischild> s2a, it's like trying to carry 2 liter of water in a 1 liter bottle .... can't be done because it wants to much
[01:59] <theTrav> which module is htpasswd2 a part of?
[01:59] <s2a> hischild, that wasnt a statement that was a question
[01:59] <pajamian> Turel: yep, one min
[01:59] <Turel> pajamian : k brother. waiting u!!
[01:59] <jstritar> askvictor, then I can ssh from A->C via machineC port 10022?
[01:59] <s2a> hischild, so i cant do it?!
[01:59] <askvictor> jstritar: once that's done, then from machineA you can "ssh -p 10022 localhost" which will get you to straight to machine C
[01:59] <jstritar> oh, localhost
[01:59] <hischild> s2a, yes it cant be done
[01:59] <jstritar> ok cool
[01:59] <theTrav> hmm... I do seem to have a command called htpasswd
[01:59] <jstritar> askvictor, i'll try it out
[02:00] <theTrav> would that be equivalent?
[02:00] <s2a> hischild, :( k, thx
[02:00] <mandrig> LjL: I didn't see your test while I was doing mine... Sorry
[02:00] <brohke1> mandrig: it doesnt work
[02:00] <askvictor> jstritar: that command opens port 10022 on machine A and forwards it via machine B to machine C's port 22
[02:00] <pajamian> Turel: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/i386/apt/download
[02:00] <mandrig> brohke1: I'm not sure what to do then, sorry
[02:00] <pajamian> download from a mirror near you
[02:00] <pajamian> Turel: and then install with dpkg
[02:01] <geirha> Ashfire908: you wouldn't happen to be out of space? "df -h"
[02:01] <hischild> gotta go :( see you all later
[02:01] <jstritar> askvictor, ahh. i always get confused as to which host and port is what for -L

[02:04] <pajamian> jester7: my mom got one, she has problems with the touchpad, other than that no.
[02:04] <brohke1> dont know how to do this in linux
[02:05] <Nyto> can someone help me with Mana world
[02:05] <jester7> pajamian: what kind of problems?
[02:06] <pajamian> jester7: it doesn't sense a "tap" all the time, sometimes she has to tap two or three times for it to sense it.
[02:06] <pajamian> jester7: I don't think that's the case with all of them, I think she got a defective one.
[02:06] <Nyto> I change one of the settings in mana world to OpenGL and everytime I open it the screen is black. Can some tell me how to change it back?
[02:06] <LjL> !test
[02:06] <ubotwo> Fbiled.
[02:06] <geirha> Ashfire908: hm, sounds like a bug with xchat then. Does it lock up like taht when you're not running xchat?
[02:07] <mgreenly> pajamian: some how I think that problem is connected to flash... the only time my touchpad does that is when I'm on youtube etc..
[02:07] <pajamian> mgreenly: it does that to her for everything, not related to flash at all for her.
[02:07] <Ashfire908> geirha, it's alsa, not xchat itself, but it's caused by xchat's use of aplay.
[02:08] <Ashfire908> is there a way to reset the entire sound system (all the way down to the kernel(?))?
[02:09] <Pelo> Ashfire908, restinall alsa ?
[02:09] <Pelo> !sound | Ashfire908
[02:09] <ubotwo> Ashfire908: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:09] <allorder> Hi everyone, I always get this error when X crash: gdm[11930]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0  any ideas ?
[02:09] <jester7> pajamian: ok, cool. that's not too bad
[02:09]  * Pelo thinks that ubotwo guy is just a poser and he wouldn't trust his advice
[02:10] <pajamian> jester7: just remember it's a dell, they're not known for their reliability, heh.
[02:10] <Pelo> allorder, do a forum search for that error msg  , www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:10] <s2a> wats that app in the repositories that makes .debs insted of compiling thats an easier process
[02:10] <Ashfire908> i don't have the menu right now... or firefox, aplay is running (more like frozen permently) with too many files open.
[02:10] <Ashfire908> reset as in reload, not reinstall
[02:10] <blackhole82> I was wondering if anyone could help me with importing videos to a PSP.
[02:10] <bruenig> exporting*
[02:10] <LjL> s2a: i think you're thinking of checkinstall, however that doesn't save you from compiling at all, and is unsafe in some circumstances
[02:10] <LjL> !checkinstall > s2a    (s2a, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:10] <Pelo> Ashfire908, kill the process restart x
[02:11] <s2a> LjL, ya i was! thank u!
[02:11] <geirha> Ashfire908: are you able to switch to a console with CTRL+ALT+F1 ? you might be able to kill or kill -9 the problematic processes from there
[02:11] <brohke1> can someone help me upgrade to the latest nvidia driver? im currently using 100.14.19
[02:11] <pajamian> s2a: if you need to compile from source I've found it best to just go the route of compile and install myself, if done properly it's easy to manage.
[02:11] <brohke1> dont know how to do this in linux
[02:11] <Pelo> !nvidia | brohke1
[02:11] <ubotwo> brohke1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:12] <blackhole82> can anyone help me with importing videos to a PSP?
[02:12] <Ashfire908> geirha, when this happenes alsa and aplay do not respond to any signals (i mean any, i tried every kill and terminate signal)
[02:12] <s2a> pajamian, ive never compiled, this time it was my first attempt with sum1 on msn but it dint work cuz im trying to compile 64-bit stuff on 32-bit
[02:12] <s2a> how do i compile with checkinstall?
[02:12] <Pelo> blackhole82, try searching in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:12] <SpookyET> Stupid question. I can't remember my swap partition. It's sda2 or sda5. How can I find out without installing anything or booting PartedMagic?
[02:12] <kraypius>  im having a problem. One of my processor cores is at 100% usage. How do i pinpoint the offending process?
[02:13] <Jgonick> Jack_Sparrow:  Done.. The install went flawlessly.  I decided not to wait until later.  Once again thanks for the answers earlier..
[02:13] <kraypius>  nm found it
[02:13] <Pelo> s2a, sudo make checkinstall after you make install
[02:13] <blackhole82> Pelo, I have
[02:13] <Pelo> blackhole82, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[02:13] <s2a> kraypius, system->administration->system monitor
[02:13] <pajamian> s2a: you hve a program that *has* to be compiled as 64 bit?
[02:13] <gregbrady> kraypius, was if firefox?
[02:13] <kraypius> no, its mysqld
[02:13] <geirha> SpookyET: sudo fdisk -l | grep swap
[02:13] <kraypius>  which i dont understand
[02:13] <s2a> pajamian, ya my driver for my dial-up modem, very important ;)
[02:14] <gregbrady> kraypius, hmmm, it's usually firefox on my machines
[02:14] <pajamian> s2a: I've never heard of anything like it.  why on earth would a manufacturer write a driver that can only be compiled as 64 bit?
[02:15] <Starnestommy> pajamian: because the device uses 64-bit registers?
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Jgonick, Glad it went well.. welcome to ubuntu
[02:15] <s2a> pajamian, i have the 32-bit version as a .deb but they dont want to make a .deb for the 64-bit version insted they want ppl to compile it so, if i want to move to 64-bit i need this
[02:15] <pajamian> s2a: ok, well since you're dual booting I would say boot to 64 bit and compile in there.
[02:16] <s2a> pajamian, i have no internet access in there and i wouldnt be able to get my help
[02:17] <cpk1> s2a: then just chroot into it
[02:17] <s2a> any1 here have 64-bit os to compile my modem driver plz?
[02:17] <zcat[1]> hmm, progress .. I just set a process limit of 100 processes per user and the box now survives :(){ :|:& };:
[02:17] <pajamian> s2a: yep, you'll have to go back and forth.  To be honest, I don't think it will compile with chkinstall either.
[02:17] <Ashfire908> ok i forget who was i talking to a sec ago?
[02:17] <cpk1> s2a: you can cross compile as well...
[02:17] <Darkmystere> If i remove Automatix and Envy will anything mess up?
[02:18] <Pelo> s2a, we generaly tell ppl to use 32bit , it is less troublesome
[02:18] <Darkmystere> Reason im asking this Ubuntu im on came with those scripts...i didnt choose to install so can i remove em>
[02:18] <s2a> cpk1, i attempted and failed and it even warned me that it is likely to fail
[02:18] <s2a> Pelo, well this is my only problem
[02:18] <cpk1> s2a: so chroot into your 64 bit enviroment and compile from there?
[02:19] <norty> can you do symbol manipulation using matlab? i want to reduce a complicated expression into it's simpiliest form..?
[02:19] <s2a> cpk1, chroot? wats that?
[02:19] <zcat[1]> finally played with wubi today.. looks pretty easy
[02:19] <Ashfire908> Pelo: i did ctrl alt backspace but i'm only able to login with failsafe terminal
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, If you used those your system is already hosed up
[02:19] <Pelo> Darkmystere, removing automatix and envy will not mess anyting up , they just install packages taht are not in the regular repos
[02:19] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  try rebooting then
[02:19] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, it's not that bad
[02:19] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, Pelo, Err....can one of you agree with the other :P
[02:20] <cpk1> s2a: lets enter into a different enviroment, you can be on your 32bit install and then chroot into your 64bit install and you will be treated like you are running from the 64bit enviroment in that terminal
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, What version of ubuntu came with those.. clearly NOT one of the Ubuntu supported versions
[02:20] <zcat[1]> if automuntix has been installed but never run, there should be no issue with removing it again, right?
[02:20] <pajamian> !automatix | Darkmystere
[02:20] <ubotwo> Darkmystere: Automatix2 is third-party product which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.

[02:20] <Ashfire908> Pelo: every time in the past i had to resort to holding the power button. i want to learn how to recover from this error
[02:20] <s2a> cpk1, !!! how do i do that?
[02:20] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, Ubuntu Ultimate 1.7 Gusty Based
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, Not supported in here...
[02:20] <cpk1> that should work the other way around I assume
[02:20] <daaku> anyone know how one would go about giving someone ssh access without shell/scp access? (i just want them to be able to proxy through me using the built in socks proxy)
[02:20] <Pelo> Darkmystere, envy and automatix just gui apps that make it easier for you to install stuff that doesnT' come with ubuntu,  we generaly don't trust then because they cause problems in the way they install things,  removing them will not cause problem,  using them might
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, Post your sources.list.. those may have been used during the install and the damage is done.. either way  not supported in here
[02:21] <s2a> cpk1, how do i do that?
[02:21] <Pelo> Ashfire908, I can't help you there, can you restate the nature of the problem in more details so I can see if I get it ?
[02:21] <brohke1> guys im trying to upgrade to the latest nvidia drivers, the wiki article doesnt help me because it uses the drivers available through the synaptic pack manager
[02:21] <dj_> i start hating alsa
[02:21] <gregbrady> Is there a way to sync up with a win CE pocket pc?
[02:21] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, i have two Ubuntu install one i installed with Ubuntu Live CD Downloaded from official site this one im testing i havent used Automatix or Envy i installed all i needed via synaptics and Apt-get i have no idea how to use either of the others
[02:21] <brohke1> i need to upgrade to the latest one using the newest nvidia .run package
[02:22] <brohke1> please help
[02:22] <pajamian> daaku: not sure, it may work to set their shell to /bin/false
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, Please post your sources list
[02:22] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, Directory of sources.lst
[02:22] <zcat[1]> Darkmystere: yes, you should uninstall automatix and envy ASAP...
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> /etc/apt
[02:23]  * Pelo thinks Jack_Sparrow  is a little tired
[02:23] <cpk1> s2a: the !chroot link can probably be applied to work the other way around, either way you will need to do some reading
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, and by post I mean to the pastebin. not in the channel
[02:23] <jbrouhard> Darkmystere, just copy/paste the readout of 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' to pastebin, then give Jack_Sparrow  the link :)
[02:23] <jbrouhard> ROFL
[02:23] <sfears> i'm having some problems with dual monitors.. can anyone lend some knowledge.. i use the screens&graphics gui but it always puts the main monitor where i want the secondary & it won't allow resolution more than 600x800
[02:23] <Ashfire908> Pelo: the problem is that alsa for whatever reason broke, which broke aplay, which then after loading the file to play, hangs, and ignores any attempt to kill it. alsa also does not respond to the disable/reload/restart init.d scripts, which then also refuse to kill.
[02:23] <jbrouhard> *gives Jack_Sparrow a dollar
[02:23] <s2a> cpk1, it isnt like one command?!
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> jbrouhard, Thanks.
[02:23] <Darkmystere> jbrouhard, Im already doing that Jack_Sparrow, calm down im doing it ok..
[02:24] <Pelo> Ashfire908, ic,  and sudo killall -0 aplay does nothing ?
[02:24] <Pelo> Ashfire908, ic,  and sudo killall -9 aplay does nothing ?
[02:24] <Pelo> or is it -19 &
[02:24] <Pelo> ?
[02:24] <zcat[1]> -9 works for me :)
[02:25] <daaku> pajamian: lemme try that - seems like it should work [not sure what it'll do for scp]
[02:25] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58946/
[02:25] <freelancer317> gregbrady  Yes   look at this link for more info http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
[02:25] <zcat[1]> fuser -k /dev/dsp is something I use occasionally too
[02:25] <Pelo> thanks zcat[1] I never use it ,  I always forget which it is
[02:25] <Ashfire908> Pelo: i've tried that before, and basiclly every other core dump or terminal signal, but i'll try again anyway.
[02:26] <jbrouhard> damn, Darkmystere that's a big list
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, Yep, unsupported repos..
[02:26] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, some of them i added my self..
[02:26] <Pelo> Ashfire908, make sure aplay is the actual name of the process
[02:26] <Ashfire908> Pelo: nothing
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, You are currently on ultimate... correct
[02:26] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  read up one line
[02:26] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, none where added by envy nor automatix some are for Ubuntu ultimate..
[02:27] <Ashfire908> Pelo: it is. there is like over a thousand of them. hard to miss.
[02:27] <Pelo> Ashfire908, hmmm
[02:27] <pajamian> daaku: I know it will stop them from being able to log into a shell, I don't know if it will break anything else for them.
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Darkmystere, Correct, Ultimate install uses automatix..which adds unsupported repos.. which is why we ask ultimate uses to go to their channel for support
[02:27] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, Si senor
[02:27] <theTrav> ok, got auth working for my svn server, now I'm having trouble with some other permissions.  I think it's file permissions for the apache user as my svn repo is in /svn
[02:27] <Pelo> Ashfire908, if there are over 1k or them ,give it a few mintutes for all of them to be killed
[02:28] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  is aplay dependent on anything ?
[02:28] <theTrav> how do I assign full access to that folder to the apache user and any other folders that get created in there?
[02:28] <s2a> is it true that debian doesnt have dependencies like ubuntu?
[02:28] <theTrav> will chmod settings be applied to any sub folders that get created?
[02:28] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  what is aplay anyway ?
[02:28] <zcat[1]> s2a: umm no?
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a, Not true in the least
[02:28] <s2a> zcat[1], o
[02:28] <Pelo> theTrav, they should
[02:29] <theTrav> is there any way to apply chmod recursively?
[02:29] <Ashfire908> pelo: idk. they are not ending, the total about of processes is not changing, and no new ones are being spawned
[02:29] <theTrav> like, to everything in a folder?
[02:29] <nox-Hand> Erm, anyone help me figure out why my system randomly went read-only right now?
[02:29] <theTrav> and sub folders?
[02:29] <Darkmystere> Jack_Sparrow, i barley use this im a full Ubuntu 7.10 and i dont know that IRC Channel...
[02:29] <Starnestommy> theTrav: chmod -R mode directory
[02:29] <theTrav> thanks Starnestommy
[02:29] <Ashfire908> Pelo: a program that plays a sound file using alsa.
[02:29] <Pelo> Ashfire908, how are you looking at those processes ? top or system monitor ?
[02:29] <chemical> After being a linux user for 8 months now
[02:29] <Ashfire908> Pelo: i don't know much about it besides what it does
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> nox-Hand, When an error is detected it sets read only
[02:29] <chemical> this is my question?
[02:30] <daaku> pajamian: it seems to work - no shell or scp access. thanks!
[02:30] <Pelo> Ashfire908, what triggers it ? what sound files,  is this an event thing ?
[02:30] <bastid_raZor> theTrav; i do the same thing with apache2.. when you add new content/subfolders you'll have to chmod and chown them..
[02:30] <pajamian> daaku: yw
[02:30] <nox-Hand> Jack_Sparrow: Roger, so I should just reboot and hope it works then? :)
[02:30] <Ashfire908> pelo: top. i don't think system monitor will work...
[02:30] <chemical> why not choose Ubuntu and not other distros?
[02:30] <Ashfire908> Pelo: i have no clue.
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck
[02:30] <ubotwo> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[02:30] <Pelo> Ashfire908, how is aplay started ?
[02:30] <theTrav> rockin, I've got a working SVN repo on my home server
[02:30] <theTrav> WIN!
[02:31] <Ashfire908> Pelo: it seems to happen randomly. aplay is spawned by xchat for when it plays a sound
[02:31] <bastid_raZor> theTrav; i have a script that does this but i still have to run it everytime i add new content to directories for apache
[02:31] <nox-Hand> chemical: If you need to get ultimate speed, you should have custom compiled software, so Gentoo would be better there. There are numerous situations where Ubuntu is not the best. Why do you ask?
[02:31] <Pelo> chemical, no special reasons  various distros are made with different users in mind,  ubuntu is intended to be simple freindly and a general all purpose distro, it's a very good place to start if you are getting into linux
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> chemical, Sorry but that discussion belongs in #Ubuntu-offtopic
[02:32] <Pelo> Ashfire908, what are those sounds ?  stuff ppl send you  ?  alerts ? are you using xchat to play music ?
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> nox-Hand, Dont troll for Gentoo
[02:32] <chemical> well i'm an ubuntu user ,i've choosed ubuntu for speed cause suse was thmy first distro
[02:32] <chemical> ubuntu has it all
[02:32] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  kill xchat
[02:32] <chemical> it's freindly foe users
[02:32] <nox-Hand> Jack_Sparrow: I am not trolling for GEntoo, I use Ubuntu, it was just the first example I could think of
[02:32] <chemical> and fast
[02:32] <nox-Hand> chemical: As said, this discussion is NOT for here --> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:32] <Ashfire908> Pelo: uh, it was killed when i restarted x witht he key combo
[02:32] <chemical> and if you want to sind out more about linux you can use the konsole
[02:33] <chemical> to find sorry
[02:33] <chemical> ok sorry didn't know that
[02:33] <Pelo> chemical, this is more of a trouble shooting channel, we try to help ppl solve their various issues
[02:33] <chemical> sorry again
[02:33] <Pelo> chemical, no problem
[02:34] <Pelo> chemical, this might help  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[02:34] <geirha> Ashfire908: see what it hangs on with: strace <pid of aplay>
[02:34] <fismoll8> hey guys is there a partitioning tool out there that isn't graphical
[02:34] <fismoll8> gparted is just too slow; I'd rather do things from the terminal anyways
[02:34] <nirgle> crontab isn't installed by default, what's the package name?  crontab doesn't seem to work
[02:34] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  and all those aplay processes are still there ?
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> fismoll8, mkfs ?
[02:34] <nickrud> fismoll8: I like cfdisk
[02:34] <zcat[1]> fismoll8: fdisk
[02:34] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  I would suggest you try purging xchat and installing it again
[02:34] <Ashfire908> pelo: yes
[02:34] <zcat[1]> never used cfdisk.. what's the difference?
[02:35]  * nickrud hexes fdisk except for info
[02:35] <fismoll8> yeah, fdisk looks nice
[02:35] <Pelo> Ashfire908,  but you'll hve to reboot to kill all those aplay processes
[02:35] <nickrud> zcat[1]: ncurses interface
[02:35] <zcat[1]> cool... hafta give it a spin
[02:35] <Pelo> nirgle, crontab is installed by default
[02:35] <fismoll8> and is there any difference between ext2 and ext3
[02:35] <Ashfire908> pelo: (these answers are out of order) ok one sec i'll run that trace thing
[02:35] <nirgle> i thought so too.. but i can't find it
[02:35] <zcat[1]> fismoll8: journalling
[02:35] <geirha> nirgle: and cron is the package name
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> fismoll8, journaling
[02:35] <Ashfire908> Pelo, it's alsa and aplay, not xchat.
[02:35] <fismoll8> is that a big deal
[02:35] <nirgle> perfect, thanks
[02:35] <pajamian> fismoll8: yes, they are different file systems
[02:36] <Pelo> Ashfire908, I thought you said that aplay were sounds started by xchat ,  I suggest you rsinatll xchat ,
[02:36] <zcat[1]> etx3 is ext2 + a journal.. you can mount ext3 as ext2 in a pinch..
[02:36] <darkblue_B> on my Ubuntu 7.10 box, how do I add a cron job that runs with sudo privs?
[02:36] <fismoll8> hmmm, and what about reisefs
[02:36] <darkblue_B> (its for awffull which writes to /var/www/awffull)
[02:36] <fismoll8> er, reiserfs
[02:36] <Pelo> Ashfire908, ofcourse aplay will use alsa to play the sounds,  alsa is the sounddevice manager thingy
[02:36] <nickrud> darkblue_B:   sudo crontab -e
[02:36] <zcat[1]> reiserfs is totally different!
[02:36] <pajamian> fismoll8: journalling is a big deal, I wouldn't recommend a filesystem without it.
[02:36] <Pelo> darkblue_B, sudo crontab -e
[02:37] <darkblue_B> nickrud: looking
[02:37] <fismoll8> what does reiserfs do differently from ext3
[02:37] <Ashfire908> Pelo: xchat spawns the process. xchat does not depend on aplay, (well except for sound) and vise versa
[02:37] <fismoll8> it doesn't seem to be used very much on linux systems
[02:37] <gvsa123> how come my login screen suddenly became smaller? how do i get it back to the right resolution?
[02:37] <zcat[1]> btw how's hans looking these days..?
[02:37] <gregbrady> freelancer317, thanks for the tip
[02:37] <Newbuntu2> hello
[02:37] <pajamian> fismoll8: the state of reiserfs support is ... shall we say ... not very good atm.
[02:37] <nickrud> darkblue_B: that's the root crontab, format includes the user just before the command, and since it runs as root no sudo needed
[02:37] <Pelo> Ashfire908, i'm guessing that aplay gets installed with xchat ,
[02:37] <fismoll8> eh, I'll just stick with ext3
[02:37] <Ashfire908> Pelo: sorry you didn't ask be to do the trace thing sorry irssi makes highligh stuff yellow and i got a white bg
[02:37] <Newbuntu2> I'm trying to use a USB driver for a data acquisition device, but the readme goes back and forth between libusb and libhid versions..
[02:37] <fismoll8> my backup hard drive was ntfs---but it's taking forever to rm -r directories
[02:37] <Newbuntu2> this is from the readme file:  http://rafb.net/p/lJ2EHd35.html
[02:38] <zcat[1]> I still think nina skipped to russa too..
[02:38] <Ashfire908> geirha: strace doesn't exist the system says
[02:38] <Pelo> Ashfire908, I woudnt, know what to do with a trace
[02:38] <pajamian> fismoll8: if you want to try something other than ext3 then the only other one I would recommend is xfs.
[02:38] <Newbuntu2> can someone explain to me the basics of how to interact with drivers?
[02:38] <Ashfire908> pelo: no it doesn't. it comes with alsa
[02:38] <fismoll8> nah, I'll stick with ext3
[02:38] <Pelo> Ashfire908, I don'T have a clue then
[02:38] <fismoll8> why doesn't windows use an ext3 system
[02:38] <fismoll8> I find ntfs to be slower and more of a pain
[02:38] <Pelo> fismoll8, because they can'T make money off it
[02:38] <pajamian> fismoll8: ask in #windows
[02:39] <LeChacal> i am getting an error along the lines that my apt cache is full how can i clear it out? i have tried apt-get clean/autoclean/autoremove but they fail giving me the same error. here is the exact error maybe i am reading it wrong http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58945/
[02:39] <zcat[1]> fismoll8: there are drivers you can install to read/write ext2, ext3 and reiserfs under windows
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ext2ifs
[02:39]  * Pelo goes to bed now ,
[02:39] <Pelo> g'night folks
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight pelo
[02:39] <fismoll8> meh, my drives are already ntfs on my windows box---sadly, I cannot switch over completely to linux
[02:40] <zcat[1]> but no way in heck will MSFT wupport them natively, ever.. :)
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo, Im not far behind you.. in time that is
[02:40] <geirha> Ashfire908: install strace and try then (thought it was installed by default)
[02:40] <Digi> brb
[02:41] <nickrud> LeChacal: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/dynamic-mmap-ran-out-of-room-error-when-adding-new-apt-source-list-233417/#post1188874 , I'd make a fresh file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ myslef
[02:42] <Ashfire908> geirha: huh? it is it's installed... must of mistyped
[02:43] <bradley> #winehq
[02:43] <LeChacal> nickrud: i had tried that and then i was getting an error that said "there was extra junk on line 1"
[02:44] <Ward1983> erm... i set my own colors of my theme, after i installed compiz-config-settings-manager and after reboot the ONLY color i can get with compiz is RED
[02:44] <Ward1983> WTF?
[02:44] <Ashfire908> geirha: you mean strace -p <pid>?
[02:44] <geirha> Ashfire908: sorry, yes, with -p
[02:45] <nickrud> LeChacal: ah, I just got that for the options, it shouldn't have quote marks
[02:45] <nickrud> LeChacal: I'll look for a different one to bookmark, thanks
[02:46] <Ashfire908> geirha: i got a "intruppt to stop" message then a blank line. ctrl-c din''t  stop it nor d so i killed it
[02:46] <darkblue_B> nickrud: no crontab for root - using an empty one
[02:46]  * nickrud loves some of the error messages, Extra junk :)
[02:46] <darkblue_B> nickrud: crontab: installing new crontab
[02:46] <nickrud> darkblue_B: there is one, it has 4 lines
[02:47] <darkblue_B> hmmm
[02:47] <hapo> downloding the newest hardy heron live cd right now
[02:47] <Ashfire908> geirha: i started it again do i type something in?
[02:47] <darkblue_B> *was* one >
[02:47] <hapo> which btw is worse for a hard disk, a large amount of usage hours or heavy usage?
[02:47] <geirha> Ashfire908: no it should list all the system calls the process calls. If it doesn't list anything, it's hanging on something
[02:48] <hapo> I've only been using this laptop for a few days but have still done many useless OS installations :P
[02:48] <geirha> Ashfire908: you'll usually see a line like "poll(" or "futex(" if it's hanging though ...
[02:48] <nickrud> darkblue_B: you're right, that's creating a new one for root.  You would have to edit /etc/crontab directly.  I was sure I had done that before, I guess not
[02:49] <ellevoros> i have a problem with my graphic card!!!! some help please!!!!
[02:49] <darkblue_B> nickrud: I have two boxes.. good in a case like this
[02:49] <Beererde> hi. opera is terribly slow on ubuntu 64 bit :/ any suggestions?
[02:49] <Ashfire908> geirha: it's hanging then
[02:49] <gregbrady> is there an Empire Earth or Age of Empires for Linux?
[02:49] <bradley> do any of u know about virtual box?
[02:49] <Beererde> gregbrady: LOL a microsoft game for linux hahaha
[02:50] <geirha> Ashfire908: yea, but it's not telling us what it is it hangs on :/
[02:50] <Beererde> bradley: yes, it's cool. but only with a core 2 duo :)
[02:50] <zcat[1]> gregbrady: might run in cedega.. but a native version? I wouldn't think so....!
[02:50] <Odd-rationale> What is that line to add to your xorg file to enable horizontal scrolling? Thanks!
[02:50] <gregbrady> beererde Empire Earth is Sierra
[02:50] <darkblue_B> nickrud: the one in /etc/crontab is untouched
[02:50] <Beererde> and sierra has a ms alliance
[02:51] <darkblue_B> nickrud: I dont know wher the 'root crontab' is then
[02:51] <Odd-rationale> gregbrady: Try glest
[02:51] <ellevoros> i have a problem with my graphic card!!!! some help please!!!!

[02:51] <kestir> ellevoros: retard
[02:51] <pajamian> heh
[02:51] <hedpe> holt s***
[02:51] <zcat[1]> ellevoros: some details would help.. what card? What's it doing (or not doing)?
[02:52] <ethan961> is it an ATI?
[02:52] <Odd-rationale> gregbrady: http://www.glest.org/
[02:52] <kestir> why reward that behavior with an offer for help zcat[1] ?
[02:52] <x0rg62> hi
[02:52] <Sonja> my shared folders aren't working! :( what is the problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=719147
[02:52] <nickrud> darkblue_B: /var/cache/cron/crontabs
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> Golly  - thats one way to not get help. :)
[02:52] <gregbrady> odd-rationale, the problem with those types of games, glest, is that they are all wizard based. I want something more history related.  If that makes sense
[02:52] <ethan961> Sonja, are you using hardy?
[02:52] <Sonja> gutsy

[02:53] <zarath76_> is there any reason I should be getting warnings in Synaptic about non authenticated packages?
[02:53] <Odd-rationale> Sonja: http://www.glest.org/
[02:54] <Sonja> are you saying that glest is messing up my shared folders?
[02:54] <Sonja> if so, how did glest end up on my computer?
[02:54] <ellevoros> zcat[1] is the sapphire ati x800gto2 256mb
[02:54] <zarath76_> do I need to install an authentication package first? this is a new install
[02:54] <darkblue_B> nickrud: no such file or directory  /var/cache/cron
[02:54] <ethan961> Sonja, are you using gutsy?
[02:54] <Odd-rationale> Sonja: No, you were asking what is glest, didn't you?

[02:54] <nickrud> darkblue_B: I get lost in var sometimes ;)
[02:55] <ethan961> Sonja. due to a backend change in nautilus, networking ie. shared folders are not working atm
[02:55] <Sonja> ohh
[02:55] <Sonja> so it's not just me?
[02:55] <erpo> I'm having a problem with restore (http://restore-backup.com). Restore is installed on my Gutsy server. When I add my Gutsy laptop as a target, I can't browse my laptop's filesystem from the restore interface.
[02:55] <x0rg62> nobody ?
[02:55] <Sonja> ethan961 that's a major bug! it's gonna be restored soon? where can read news about it?
[02:55] <brohke1> guys im trying to upgrade to the latest nvidia drivers, the wiki article doesnt help me because it uses the drivers available through the synaptic pack manager
[02:55] <brohke1> i need to upgrade to the latest one using the newest nvidia .run package
[02:55] <brohke1> please help
[02:55] <pajamian> zcat[1]: http://www.glest.org/glest_board/viewtopic.php?t=3168&sid=4effb4e3092d8f01b84be15393b5a96a
[02:55] <darkblue_B> nickrud: indeed, there is a file there called root
[02:56] <x0rg62> please :/
[02:56] <darkblue_B> nickrud: all seems to be well with your suggested method then
[02:56] <bradley> do any of u know how to get kiba-dock working?
[02:56] <zcat[1]> pajamian: will look in a 'mo .. installing warzone2100 atm :)
[02:56] <ethan961> Sonja, sorry, its broken in hardy.
[02:56] <nickrud> darkblue_B: The problem with my suggested method is I expected it to edit /etc/crontab
[02:56] <Sonja> i'm on gutsy though
[02:56] <Sonja> (afaik)
[02:57] <darkblue_B> nickrud: from now on I edit the one in /var/spool/cron/crontabs ?
[02:57] <x0rg62> who have a hp530 here ?
[02:57] <darkblue_B> nickrud: for root jobs?
[02:57] <zcat[1]> always looking for new games here.. esp. OSS ones
[02:57] <l815> what does gusty use by default .. xserver-xgl?
[02:57] <zcat[1]> xserver-xorg I think
[02:57] <nickrud> darkblue_B: yes you can do that. use crontab -e to edit the crontab, it has some simple checks of syntax for you.
[02:57] <ethan961> Sonja, sorry, I am trying to reinstall windows at the same time, I am a little overloaded. I have not heard of this on gutsy, however the backend change is on hardy
[02:57] <ellevoros> zcat[1]
[02:57] <mbrandt> exit
[02:58] <x0rg62> who may help me ?
[02:58] <l815> actually, is it possible to use aiglx with ubuntu?
[02:58] <bradley> does anyone know how to get Kiba Dock running?
[02:58] <Lectrick> hi I'm trying to get a Canon BJC-4300 working in 7.10 but all it does is spit out a blank page without even acting like it's printing, but joblist says completed
[02:58] <geirha> l815: it uses aiglx if possible
[02:58] <nickrud> darkblue_B: or ensures that editing it doesn't interfere with getting cron jobs run properly. I find I've got some bit rot about cron jobs, need to brush up
[02:58] <kupesoft> l815: What's your graphics hardware?
[02:59] <x0rg62> please :/
[02:59] <l815> kupesoft, intel gm965
[02:59] <darkblue_B> nickrud: thx - any help at all is ok by me.. I know nothing abou tthis
[02:59] <l815> kupesoft, fedora uses aiglx right? and everything works fine there (graphics wise)
[02:59] <Sonja> ethan961 ok
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Its a good idea to check cups.org to see how well any printer is supported.
[02:59] <kupesoft> l815: Ubuntu does,
[02:59] <darkblue_B> nickrud: I think I have my one jon in there now, at least
[02:59] <l815> kupesoft, oh.
[03:00] <l815> kupesoft, what other options are there?
[03:00] <x0rg62> please !
[03:00] <pajamian> x0rg62: you can mute the pc speaker in the sound output.
[03:00] <Beererde> hi. opera is terribly slow on ubuntu 64 bit :/ any suggestions?
[03:00] <Lectrick> hmm i'll check cups brb
[03:00] <kupesoft> l815: I'm not really sure what you're asking? To use compiz-fusion / 3d desktop?
[03:00] <DAC1138> Beererde: try swiftweasel
[03:00] <x0rg62> where's the sound output ?
[03:00] <zcat[1]> swiftweasel?!!
[03:01] <DAC1138> Beererde: automatix can install swiftweasel. i can say it's a lot better and faster than firefox, and maybe as fast as opera on this machine
[03:01] <oboy03> what should i use to check the integrity of my hardrive?
[03:01] <l815> kupesoft, sorry, i can use compiz with the skip check, but video won't work right. in fedora live cd, i can have some graphical effects, while playing video fine. i was wondering how to duplicate this success with ubuntu
[03:01] <pajamian> x0rg62: double click on the speaker icon near the system tray and it will bring up the sound mixer controls, look for hte pc speaker one (you may have to move the scrollbar to the right).
[03:01] <Beererde> DAC1138: ok! i am using epiphany, any difference?
[03:01] <kupesoft> l815: Ah, not sure how I can help,
[03:01] <oboy03> i wanna know if my hardrive has errors, what software should i use?
[03:01] <DAC1138> Beererde: i can't say, i've never used epiphany
[03:02] <l815> kupesoft, thanks anyway :)
[03:02] <macrobad> x0rg62: Do you have ubuntu or kubuntu?
[03:02] <zcat[1]> !info swiftweasel
[03:02] <ubotwo> Package swiftweasel does not exist in gutsy
[03:02] <brohke1> someone please help... im really lost here. my brightness controls don't work on my laptop. I read http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_%28Gutsy_Gibbon%29_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#Brightness and it says that I need to upload to the latest driver, but the synaptic pack manager doesn't let me do this. and I don't know how to install it otherwise.
[03:02] <Ashfire908> geirha: the failsafe terminal froze so i just used the sysrq key thing
[03:02] <brohke1> i don't want to use Envy
[03:02] <DAC1138> Beererde: i've used opera though, and used to use firefox, but im loving swiftweasel. so i'd say you should give it a shot
[03:02] <Beererde> brohke1: xgamma
[03:02] <zcat[1]> ahhh.. that explains why I can't find it :)
[03:02] <pajamian> oboy03: smartmontools
[03:02] <x0rg62> macrobad: ubuntu
[03:02] <brohke1> Beererde: ?
[03:02] <oboy03> thanks
[03:02] <Beererde> DAC1138: ok
[03:02] <Beererde> brohke1: man xgamma
[03:03] <zcat[1]> weird thing.. if I open docx files in OOo, I can actually read them.. the formatting is crap though!
[03:03] <l815> is xgl safe to use?
[03:03] <Beererde> l815: yes
[03:04] <bradley> #kdock
[03:04] <macrobad> x0rg62: you could use see gnome-volume-control
[03:04] <macrobad> Alt + F2 and enter that
[03:04] <bradley> can anyone help me with getting kiba dock installed
[03:04] <brohke1> Beererde: i don't know what that means
[03:04] <brohke1> im a noob
[03:04] <l815> Beererde, is there a way I can install it without having to reinstall?
[03:05] <Beererde> try in a console (you know a terminal?) xgamma -gamma 0.5
[03:05] <macrobad> DAC1138: Isn't sweaftweasel a firefox with a couple of minor patches?
[03:06] <x0rg62> no
[03:06] <x0rg62> it doesn't work
[03:06] <Beererde> brohke1: you can also press alt+f2
[03:06] <pajamian> x0rg62: you found the control and muted it?
[03:06] <Beererde> brohke1: to execute a command
[03:06] <macrobad> x0rg62: What doesn't work?
[03:06] <oboy03> i've installed smart mon tools... where can i find it in my desktop?
[03:06] <x0rg62> i can't muted it
[03:06] <Beererde> oboy03: it's a terminal program
[03:07] <oboy03> oic
[03:07] <joeamined> hi
[03:07] <pajamian> oboy03: it's more of a command line tool, I don't know if it has a gui interface or not.
[03:07] <bitsbam> hey there all
[03:07] <acee1234> why is my conky always-on-top?
[03:07] <joeamined> does someone know how to get key scancode of the popup menu key ?
[03:07] <oboy03> pajamian: how do i activate it?
[03:07] <pajamian> oboy03: you have to run a test first, then when it's done you have to issue another command to look at the output ...
[03:08] <pajamian> oboy03: one sec...
[03:08] <joeamined> i got it in hexadecimal : e0 5c, but how to convert it to decimal ?
[03:08] <Beererde> joeamined: that looks like TWO scancodes
[03:08] <macrobad> x0rg62: It is actually very difficult to help remotely. However, almost all the settings are available from that program. So, 99% you have to change something there.
[03:08] <michalski> hey what projects qualify for getting you an associated mask on your address/ip?
[03:08] <bitsbam> i am trying to repair a drive with e2fsck -j /dev/hdc1  but it isn't working it gives me the useage stuff, i thought that this was all i needed
[03:08] <joeamined> Beererde: yes..that's the problem..
[03:09] <sam__>  /server irc.gamesurge.net
[03:09] <pajamian> oboy03: smartctl --test=long /dev/whatever
[03:09] <x0rg62> uhh..
[03:09] <bitsbam> if gparted cannot even determine the filesystem, it is a safe bet that my data is totally gone?
[03:09] <ellevoros> zcat[1] ...
[03:09] <brohke1> Beererde: is this going to help me install the latest nvidia drivers?
[03:09] <pajamian> oboy03: then wait as long as it says (and a bit longer).
[03:10] <Beererde> bitsbam: no. you could grep for known fragments of files
[03:10] <bitsbam> cool, how do i do that?
[03:10] <x0rg62> then , i can't ?
[03:10] <macrobad> bitsbam: There exist disc recovery programs.
[03:10] <pajamian> oboy03: and then check the results with: smartctl --all /dev/whatever
[03:10] <Beererde> brohke1: no, tried the xgamma?
[03:10] <bitsbam> for linux?
[03:10] <macrobad> bitsbam: I have never looked for one for Linux though.
[03:11] <zcat[1]> ellevoros: I do not use ati.. but if you can explain on channel what is not working and what you have tried so far to fix it, someone might be able to help you
[03:11] <brohke1> Beererde: i didnt but the brightness works... its just a bug with the driver i have
[03:11] <pajamian> x0rg62: you clicked on the speaker icon at the bottom of the pc speaker control so it put a red X through the icon?
[03:11] <brohke1> when i switch to a console, brightness works
[03:11] <brohke1> just not in X
[03:11] <acee1234> what codecs do i need to play dvd's?
[03:11] <brohke1> so i need to install the latest driver
[03:11] <Beererde> brohke1: which brightness control do you mean? the one of the monitor?
[03:11] <Beererde> brohke1: try xgamma . . .
[03:11] <bitsbam> macrobad, Beererde, gparted sees that it is a drive 40gb but nothing else, tried e2fsck -j /dev/hdc1 but that would not run either
[03:11] <brohke1> its a laptop, so yea
[03:11] <brohke1> hrm, nevermind
[03:12] <geirha> bitsbam: -j is not an option for fsck. Try fsck.ext3 /dev/hdc1 instead
[03:12] <Beererde> bitsbam: you won't be able to use it as a filesystem again, but the data should be there, if the drive still works. at least all fragments
[03:12] <bitsbam> ok, will do, thanks
[03:12] <x0rg62> no pajamian there are no red X through the icon
[03:12] <pajamian> x0rg62: you clicked on it?
[03:12] <bitsbam> Beererde, if i can't use it as a file system, i can still retrieve the files?
[03:12] <bitsbam> how?
[03:12] <x0rg62> yes
[03:13] <smartface> Hi, I cant watch a 30 min .mkv video normally using any player in Ubuntu.  It's choppy, and lags.  I found this patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=103136&action=view, how can i install it?
[03:13] <x0rg62> but i hear no more sound
[03:13] <pajamian> x0rg62: well, it should mute it that way, if that doesn't work you can drag the slider all the way down.
[03:13] <geirha> Ashfire908: well, I think you could be right about it being alsa. Could be there's a bug in the driver and that compiling the latest alsa will fix it

[03:13] <pajamian> x0rg62: no sound at all, or no pc speaker sounds?

[03:14] <pajamian> x0rg62: which control did you mute?
