[07:53] <sebsebseb> disappearedng: hi
[07:53] <MHz128> ok
[07:54] <phorensic> would using an external announcer on demonoid cause it not to recognize me as a seeder?
[07:55] <b1n42y> Laibsch: oh, dono mate, maybe get different type of mouse easiest solution
[07:55] <b1n42y> Laibsch: usb or wireless
[07:55] <Laibsch> b1n42y: will a different mouse likely get a different IRQ?
[07:55] <Laibsch> I think this even happens with the built-in mouse
[07:56] <Laibsch> In this case a Trackpoint
[07:56] <laron> I'm havin a problem with 8.10 recognizing my wireless card
[07:56] <Laibsch> or whatever this pointing IBM-thingie is called
[07:56] <kriscolt> anyone know a simple hack to emulate a right mouse click on a mac mouse?
[07:56] <b1n42y> Laibsch: well i was thinking switching from ps2 to usb or something along those lines
[07:56] <laron> I have a Atheros AR242x
[07:56] <Swistak> hello
[07:57] <Swistak> how to save file using vim?
[07:57] <b1n42y> Laibsch: sorry dinner time, have you completely explored your bios optins
[07:57] <Swistak> insert for typing inside, how to save document now?
[07:57] <kriscolt> Swistak i think if you type !w
[07:57] <kriscolt> it will save the file
[07:57] <chachex> @Swistak, press escape, it's !w
[07:57] <chachex> wait
[07:57] <chachex> :w
[07:57] <chachex> my bad
[07:58] <chachex> if that doesn't save
[07:58] <chachex> then trying :w! (which forces the save)
[07:58] <Swistak> escape freeze my vim
[07:58] <chachex> it shouldn't
[07:58] <kriscolt> escape switches to command mode
[07:58] <chachex> that should get you back into command mode
[07:58] <chachex> from insert (when you press i)
[07:59] <laron> after insert (i) press esc then :w!
[07:59] <laron> or :w! filename
[07:59] <chachex> yup
[07:59] <Rainium_Isotope_> hey question: trying to burn a sabayon iso to a dvd-r and the write was verified but it doesnt work when loaded. is the dvd too small? it doenst say that it takes up the whole disk...
[07:59] <chachex> did you do an hash check?
[07:59] <chachex> *a hash
[07:59] <disappearedng> Man are there no fast update servers in China?
[08:00] <Rainium_Isotope_> dont know wat that is..
[08:00] <chachex> it's when you run it against an md5 hash to make sure it was written correctly
[08:00] <Rainium_Isotope_> well u know what..
[08:00] <chachex> the site you got the iso from should have an md5 hash near the download button
[08:01] <BeBoo_> can someone help me with some wireless issues im having with 8.10? I notice if I go to Hardware Drivers, it sees me "Atheros 802.11 Wireless Card", i entered my wireless information in the Networking Config but it won't connect. any ideas?
[08:01] <kriscolt> grr.. i'm out of blank cd's
[08:01] <kriscolt> anyone know how i would mount an image file ?
[08:01] <Rainium_Isotope_> i only inserted the disk inside windows cus i was able to try ubuntu inside windows before i actually used it, is it possible that you can only load sabayon as a boot disk?
[08:01] <chachex> yeah
[08:01] <chachex> ubuntu has wubi which allows it to load in windows
[08:01] <chachex> most distros don't have that
[08:02] <zs> BeBoo: are you connected to ethernet as well?
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> ahhhh
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok
[08:02] <chachex> unfortunately, i've never used sabayon, so i don't know about that one
[08:02] <BeBoo_> zs: no
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> that explains it.
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> i knew i wasnt doing anything wrong
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok another question..
[08:02] <kriscolt> !iso
[08:02] <defrysk> BeBoo_, on intrepid ?
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> how do i install ubuntu and sabayon alongside each other?
[08:02] <BeBoo_> defrysk: yes
[08:02] <zs> BeBoo: are the latest drivers installed through the hardware manager?
[08:02] <BeBoo_> fresh install
[08:03] <defrysk> BeBoo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
[08:03] <Rainium_Isotope_> what option do i select upon installation when using it as a boot disk?
[08:03] <BeBoo_> defrysk: thanks, i'll try it
[08:03] <chachex> @Rainium_Isotope, you need a separate partition for Sabayon, otherwise, grub should detect the other OSes and it should install fine
[08:03] <Rainium_Isotope_> i dont want to erase ubuntu
[08:04] <defrysk> BeBoo_, iirc you need to apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[08:04] <Rainium_Isotope_> but do i have to use it as a boot disk to install while still running ubuntu, and it wont erase?
[08:05] <chachex> if you select a partition that ubuntu's not on, then it won't erase ubuntu, do you know how to partition your hard drive?
[08:05] <nigga_please> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This vid on the new Ubuntu release is pretty exciting.
[08:05] <defrysk> BeBoo_, after install the ath5k module should work  correctly
[08:05] <BeBoo_> defrysk: looks like it. i'll hook up eth0 and install it
[08:05] <brandon1> yeah i was about to say
[08:05] <Rainium_Isotope_> grrr.. no, but i did download a partition editor incase i came across this type of problem..
[08:06] <defrysk> BeBoo_, good luck
[08:06] <brandon1> i have 3 ubuntu's on my comp how do i delete them
[08:06] <BeBoo_> thanks :-)
[08:06] <brandon1> ?
[08:06] <nigga_please> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This vid on the new Ubuntu release is pretty exciting.
[08:06] <dustin> anyone know why my wireless signal is so crappy on ubuntu compared to winxp (switched) D:
[08:06] <Rainium_Isotope_> repeat: grrr.. no, but i did download a partition editor incase i came across this type of problem..
[08:06] <chachex> usually when you run a linux install, it'll start gparted as part of the process
[08:07] <chachex> that will allow you to resize and create partitions
[08:07] <Rainium_Isotope_> oh cool
[08:07] <Rainium_Isotope_> will it notify me before i do something that might erase ubuntu?
[08:07] <chachex> it should
[08:07] <Rainium_Isotope_> k
[08:07] <chachex> ubuntu does, so does fedora
[08:08] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok good.
[08:08] <chachex> i don't see why sabayon would be different
[08:08] <Rainium_Isotope_> would you suggest fedora over sabayon?
[08:08] <chachex> @brandon, what do you mean 'delete' them?
[08:08] <Rainium_Isotope_> i need a kde desktop environment
[08:08] <chachex> are you talking about removing them from grub?
[08:08] <chachex> if you need kde
[08:08] <chachex> just install the kubuntu packages in ubuntu
[08:08] <chachex> no need to install another distro
[08:09] <nigga_please> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This vid on the new Ubuntu release is pretty exciting.
[08:09] <chachex> if you do that
[08:09] <disappearedng> any1 here in China? my servers are EXTREMELY SLOW
[08:09] <chachex> when you log into your computer
[08:09] <crdlb> !ops | nigga_please
[08:09] <chachex> you click the session button
[08:09] <brandon1> how do i run a ./config file on ubuntu
[08:09] <brandon1> ?
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> k keep going
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> or wait..
[08:09] <chachex> and you can select GDM (GNOME, what you're currently using) or KDM (KDE)
[08:09] <Enissay> is there any application that allow me to control my local network: see everything on it and block/unblock others to access it?
[08:09] <chachex> lemme find the package, h/o
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> ahh ok
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok awesome.
[08:10] <chachex> if you go into Synaptic (the package manager)
[08:10] <chachex> type in kubuntu-desktop
[08:10] <chachex> and install that
[08:10] <chachex> it'll install KDE
[08:10] <vertigo> how can I boot staraight to shell in ubuntu? bypass login screen
[08:10] <Rainium_Isotope_> then i can choose kdm or gdm on startup?
[08:11] <chachex> yup
[08:11] <Rainium_Isotope_> awesome.
[08:11] <chachex> i used to do that
[08:11] <Rainium_Isotope_> thank you!
[08:11] <chachex> i had gnome, kde, and xfce all installed
[08:11] <chachex> no problem
[08:11] <illumin8> i have gnome and xfce now, works great.
[08:12] <chachex> yeah, ubuntu's pretty good at managing different desktop environments
[08:13] <dangerum> y'all are fuckin lamers

[08:16] <illumin8> cant get forecast?
[08:16] <chachex> @ Rainium, did you get my PM?
[08:17] <panesar_sandeep> spideryummy, have u made an changes to your hard disk after installing ubuntu, like installing windows in a diff partition
[08:17] <illumin8> diginux, thanks i thought that might be the case
[08:20] <BeBoo_> defrysk: installing... *crosses fingers*
[08:22] <D_likescookies> anyone can tell me if gnome have something like the kde's desktop widgets? if so, anyone have a link of where to find them?
[08:22] <panesar_sandeep> spideryummy,Looks like you have a bad block, which could well be caused by the power outage. Boot with a live CD. Ensure that all partitions on your hdd are UNMOUNTED, and swap is turned off. (sudo swapoff -a) Use the commandsudo e2fsck -c -v /dev/sda to check for badblocks, and mark them so that they will not be used again. If you have the time, you can run a much more through (but much...
[08:22] <panesar_sandeep> ...longer) check with "sudo e2fsck -v -cc /dev/sda".Replace /dev/sda with your actual hard disk device. If there are too many bad sectors (blocks), maybe you should think about replacing the hard disk.

[08:30] <IndyGunFreak> laron: if you'd have gotten your wireless going before you updated, i could help you get that working on the new kernel, but i've never gotten it to work on anything other than a vanilla install
[08:31] <pjfry1> Is there a program  I can use to download videos from youtube?
[08:31] <laron> I actually just got it working, rebooted and now my eth0 is down
[08:31] <laron> ha
[08:31] <Rainium_Isotope_> im @ a screen "Configuring kdm-kde4" and it asks me to select a default display manager: either gdm or kdm-kde4, (i want to be able to select between gnome and kde when i start ubuntu)
[08:31] <IndyGunFreak> laron: i see
[08:31] <laron> so now wireless works and eth0 doesnt
[08:31] <laron> odd
[08:31] <dangerum> cooldduuudde i'm more the kind of sensiTIVE guy
[08:31] <cooldduuudde> pjfry1: there is a plugin in firefox but it doesn't seem to work these days
[08:31] <Gotu> ok
[08:31] <IndyGunFreak> laron: but your wireless should work in the new kernel, right?
[08:31] <dangerum> and backtrack, while we're on that
[08:31] <Gotu> thanks
[08:31] <Axlin> pjfry1: i just use the greasemonkey addon for firefox and a script that adds a download link below the video
[08:32] <lstarnes> Rainium_Isotope_: kdm-kde4 and gdm both support kde4 and gnome
[08:32] <D_likescookies>  Rainium_Isotope_ doesn't make a diference, it's just the login screen manager.
[08:32] <laron> i locked the kernel
[08:32] <Gotu> how can we install safari
[08:32] <malakhi> Rainium_Isotope_: either one will offer you the choice of GNOME or KDE
[08:32] <Rainium_Isotope_> so either one i pick ill be able to choose whether to log in to gnome or kde?
[08:32] <laron> It didnt work in the new kernel
[08:32] <malakhi> Rainium_Isotope_: correct
[08:32] <D_likescookies>  Rainium_Isotope_ yes.
[08:33] <pjfry1> Thank you Axlin and coooldude
[08:33] <illumin8> Rainium_Isotope_, after you install the managers you can choose them in your login screen with the sessions button
[08:33] <Rainium_Isotope_> :) thank you
[08:33] <cooldduuudde> you can use any manager
[08:33] <dangerum> you're still boring.. i was hoping to be entertained

[08:39] <Crshman> I suppose my issue applies to freenx too gce
[08:39] <Crshman> laststraw: ask your question, if someone can help they will

[08:39] <GaRRu> nop, what does nomachine do?
[08:39] <Crshman> head over to the site
[08:39] <Crshman> I linked it
[08:41] <GaRRu> still don't get what it does
[08:41] <melik> my partition went wrong.. how can i recover old files?
[08:42] <rdw200169> melik, if you're *really* lucky, testdisk or photorec can do that
[08:42] <laststraw> OK. I've just installed Ubuntu and was 'playing' with Dolphin and have set folders to open with Picasa.  I don't know how to undo it.
[08:42] <rdw200169> melik, testdisk is in the repo, i dunno about photorec, they're both made by the same organization, grc.com i think
[08:42] <melik> i'll cross my fingers rdw200169 :/
[08:42] <melik> or else there goes like 100 gigs of music
[08:43] <rdw200169> melik, well, if the files were not overwritten, you may be able to just *hopefully* restore you're old partition table
[08:43] <rdw200169> melik, ah, i was wrong, it was cgsecurity.org
[08:44] <melik> well i was just moving my partition table to another sector on my HDD, and my power cut off
[08:44] <melik> so it got cut off midway
[08:44] <beargins> oh melik sounds like you have a problem
[08:44] <rdw200169> melik, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec this will probably work best... see what it does !
[08:44] <beargins> boot to a live disk
[08:44] <Peddyt> melik, testdisk can recover lost partition tables.
[08:44] <beargins> create a partition for backup
[08:45] <beargins> mount the bad partitions, and gzip/tar your data
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> SWEET! im in the kde4 desktop now!
[08:45] <beargins> move it all to the backup partition
[08:45] <audifahrer> Hello
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> k have a question tho:
[08:45] <beargins> then reinstall
[08:45] <beargins> hehe
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> how do i switch the login screen back to gnome?
[08:45] <DizzyDoo> Just got Ubuntu Server installed on a fresh box, what is the best way to check that it's connected to the internet successfully?
[08:45] <audifahrer> is there a GUI tool (gtk if possible) to convert various video formats in ubuntu?
[08:45] <rdw200169> melik, it would be best to refer to the documentation they have in their website :)
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> i had a custom login screen..
[08:45] <melik> yeah im reading now rdw200169 thanks a lot guys
[08:46] <quibbler> laststraw: open picasa  go to file - add folder to picasa   there you can add or remove folders that picasa will use
[08:46] <rdw200169> melik, ah, with ubuntu, photorec comes with the testdisk package
[08:47] <KalEl> i found a very nice unbiased comparison between ubuntu & windows xp
[08:47] <KalEl> i will post it here if you don't mind...
[08:47] <Rainium_Isotope_> hey can anyone help? just installed the kde4 environment on ubuntu and want to change the login window back to gnome since it was a custom login screen, can anyone tell me how to do that>
[08:47] <KalEl> http://www.easy-ubuntu-linux.com/windows-xp-vs-ubuntu.html
[08:47] <Rainium_Isotope_> ?
[08:47] <huwenfeng> any utility in ubuntu to safely delete a file?
[08:47] <bazhang> KalEl, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic not here
[08:47] <ziroday> huwenfeng: what do you mean?
[08:48] <huwenfeng> i mean, really non-recoverable.
[08:48] <ziroday> huwenfeng: shred
[08:48] <huwenfeng> safely, securely.
[08:48] <huwenfeng> ziroday: Oh, good. seems good, thx
[08:48] <Peddyt> melik, I accidentally my whole partition table, and testdisk easily recovered it. Open testdisk, choose your FS and 'analyse', then, if it finds the partition table, you can choose 'write'. If it does not find the partition table, you can do a 'deep search', which searches, deeper. :P
[08:48] <Rainium_Isotope_> ...anyone?
[08:49] <Rainium_Isotope_> alguien puede a ayudarme?

[08:53] <DizzyDoo> Question: Just got Ubuntu Server installed on a fresh box, what is the best way to check that it's connected to the internet successfully?
[08:53] <bazhang> Axlin, translating what
[08:53] <Axlin> bazhang: one language to another. most importantly, english to german and vice versa
[08:53] <quibbler> laststraw: i'm sorry, i don't know.....remove folders from shared folder??
[08:54] <n_nick> ck peterson
[08:54] <dayo_> DizzyDoo: try pinging something
[08:54] <bazhang> Axlin, articles, phrases, that sort of thing?
[08:54] <nathanial> DizzyDoo: find out your ip
[08:54] <Axlin> bazhang: nah, just single words
[08:54] <rakzor> I'm so hungry you guys.
[08:54] <DizzyDoo> dayo: so something like:    ping google.com    would work?
[08:54] <dayo_> DizzyDoo: yep
[08:54] <b1n42y> is there a command history for pidgin
[08:54] <dayo_> rakzor: same here.
[08:54] <bazhang> Axlin, just for single words the best option is the google translator
[08:55] <DizzyDoo> cheers dayo
[08:55] <Axlin> bazhang: i've been using a plugin for gnome do, but it doesn't work too well with accents
[08:55] <dayo_> b1n42y: chat log, u mean?
[08:55] <dayo_> DizzyDoo: u're welcome :-)
[08:55] <bazhang> http://translate.google.com/?hl=en Axlin I generally use that
[08:55] <b1n42y> dayo_: no like what im typing something like cli history
[08:56] <Axlin> bazhang: yeah that's what i've been using. i was just hoping for a desktop client. guess i'll just have to settle on google translate still. thanks
[08:56] <bazhang> Axlin, there is also scim, though that is generally geared to text entry (ie changing languages in what you type) and more so for asian languages
[08:56] <dayo_> b1n42y: what u're typing? isn't that the chat log?
[08:56] <A|titudeSky> hii... i can see nokia phone in my 'places' but can't seem to transfer any mp3 into it (but i can view the contents), how do i change the permission of the data storage card ao i can transter files in it..??
[08:56] <b1n42y> dayo_: default kde 3.5.10 program(ksirc i think has it but i like the setup of pidgin)
[08:56] <dayo_> b1n42y: aaahh, u mean pressing ArrowUp, right?
[08:56] <Axlin> bazhang: oh interesting
[08:56] <b1n42y> dayo goto terminal and press up arrow and ull know what i mean
[08:57] <nathanial> Ok, is somebody here willing to help me get my bind server up?? Maybe somebody that is willing to remotely take a look? I have a feeling I'm doing something stupid, and that's why it isn't working :/ something small that I'm overlooking.
[08:57] <dayo_> b1n42y: yeah, i don't think pidgin has that. but maybe there's a plugin
[08:57] <vigo> A|titudeSky: Are the files locked? or have a little permissions icon on them?

[09:33] <laststraw1> Hello again quibbler. I tried your suggestion and that crashed the system. Not sure what else to do other than reinstall. I set this up for my daughter and was checking to see if anything else might be useful to her. I'll stick with Nautilus next time.
[09:33] <n2diy>   timob, with Synaptic you can re-install?
[09:33] <ziroday> disappearedng: you have to wait until thats finished :)
[09:34] <ubuntistas> i have problem suspending, an icon is appearing that vlc has stopped the hibernate from taking place: Playing some media...
[09:34] <ubuntistas> any clue?
[09:34] <quibbler> laststraw1: before you reinstall state your problem again in the chat room and see if someone else can help
[09:35] <laststraw1> Thanks quibbler
[09:35] <quibbler> laststraw1: you are welcome.
[09:37] <b1n42y> why would suspend whilst playing media ...
[09:38] <b1n42y> maybe we should get ubuntu to make breakfast for us also
[09:40] <laststraw1> As a new Linux (ubuntu) user I was experimenting with Dolphin and in the process I have set all folders to open with Dolphin. I cannot find a way to undo this so now when I click on Home or any other folder it opens with Dolphin and I get this message: "The file or folder /home/xxxx/'file:/home/xxxx/Pictures' does not exist." Can anyone help me undo this please?
[09:40] <b1n42y> if i install basket which is designed for kde and it pulls in necessary stuff from kde libs will ubuntu run slower
[09:41] <b1n42y> laststraw1: there is a page on the net with a script that does that and then a script to undo it, i just reinstalled though
[09:41] <n2diy> b1n42y, yes, slightly, but you probably wouldn't know the difference.
[09:41] <b1n42y> n2diy: thanks
[09:42] <ziroday> laststraw1: right click on a folder, go to open with other application and select nautilus
[09:43] <n2diy> b1n42y, I run lots of KDE stuff here.
[09:43] <laststraw1> b1n42y thanks.  Would you have a link to the page? Or is it easier to re-install?

[09:46] <b1n42y> laststraw1: sorry, but if you google you should find it was pretty much only 1 there, plus the undo script might not work as you did not use his install script but it will give you an idea on how to undo possibly, if you tinker alot i suggest you setup a virtual ubuntu using one of the many vms, i like virtualbox

[09:46] <laron> I got it working!
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> Raf_: not really sure on xchat-gnome, but all you have to do is add that server to your server list.
[09:47] <Raf_> :) I tried that, but it doesn't seem to work.
[09:47] <Raf_> I posted on a forum, and am still awaiting a reply
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> Raf_: then i would verify the info is correct
[09:47] <Raf_> otherwise, can anyone recommend a good IRC client?
[09:47] <b1n42y> Salaatti: those type of questions are subjective in their answer, google msn linux programs then google review of each
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> Raf_: xchat-gnome is ok, xchat is good, irc, etc, there's several
[09:48] <zafle> pidgin does msn

[09:52] <IndyGunFreak> n_nick: lol, nobody said anything about anything in that list when you triggered the bot, so how could it have been "wrong person, wrong thing"
[09:52] <n_nick> b1n42y: ok tell me one thing did u try using Places -> connect to server
[09:52] <pjsturgeon> anyone? crontab does nothing
[09:52] <pjsturgeon> even with * * * * * rules
[09:53] <b1n42y> slaps n_nick with a small 50LB unix manual
[09:54] <n_nick> b1n42y: ok tell me one thing did u try using Places -> connect to server
[09:55] <n_nick> well i didnt want to put tht here.. i mistakenly thought it was this comm and did tht
[09:55] <b1n42y> n_nick: sorry do i have a problem with something that your trying to help me with?
[09:55] <n_nick> i already apologized
[09:55] <b1n42y> you're*

[09:56] <b1n42y> no its ZMay
[09:56] <n_nick> ok
[09:56] <Bushman> any bluetooth specialist around?
[09:56] <b1n42y> Bushman: ask your question and wait for response
[09:56] <haz_> hey guys, i need to write a line into my alsa-base file for my sound to work,can't do that, any help?
[09:56] <Bushman> b1n42y: i know the rules :P
[09:57] <ProstheticS> Hi guys, i have Raid 10 and a Mirror running on the onboard intel controller of a X48Ds5 . This controller is ICH9r i beleive, i just tried installing fedora, without success, it see's all the drives singularly. Will this setup work on Ubuntu
[09:57] <ProstheticS> ?
[09:57] <Myrtti> haz_: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[09:57] <dones> irc.quakenet.org
[09:57] <b1n42y> ProstheticS: #fedora
[09:58] <ProstheticS> binary, im saying will it work on ubuntu
[09:58] <Myrtti> !hardware | ProstheticS
[09:58] <Bushman> anyway.. i paired the ubuntu with my mobile device and on the mobile side it says there are none active services from ubuntu bluetooth
[09:58] <Bushman> is that normal?
[09:58] <Bushman> and what services i can activate?
[09:58] <ProstheticS> thx Myrtti
[09:58] <haz_> Myrtti : lifesaver :)
[09:58] <Myrtti> ProstheticS: np
[09:58] <Myrtti> haz_: be careful with that though
[09:59] <haz_> no worries, i've done this before
[09:59] <haz_> worked fine
[09:59] <Myrtti> Bushman: depends on which bluetooth related packages you've installed
[09:59] <ProstheticS> hmmm Myrtti its a very limited list
[10:00] <Acedip> is OOo 3 available in the repo
[10:00] <Bushman> Myrtti: well... none :P
[10:00] <rww> Acedip: OpenOffice.org 3 was not released in time to be tested and included in Ubuntu Intrepid/8.10. Ubuntu does not update packages in stable releases (like 8.10) to new major versions, so OOo3 will not enter intrepid-updates, but will be in Jaunty/9.04 when the latter comes out. There is no backport for OOo3 yet. Instructions to install UNOFFICIAL packages of OOo3: http://tinyurl.com/ooorg3
[10:00] <Bushman> but in preferences there are 4 services listed
[10:00] <Bushman> are those client only?
[10:00] <zs> wow I no longer have a reason to be here, I think my computer is setup perfectly now!! yay
[10:00] <b1n42y> !bluetooth | Bushman
[10:01] <Myrtti> Bushman: as Bluetooth isn't exactly something that all the computers come with default, you need to install some knicknacks for a) bluetooth in general to work b) have the services you want
[10:01] <zs> only if gnome-look.org would load now
[10:01] <zs> yeah
[10:01] <zs> like one cool thing you can do with bluetooth is
[10:01] <zs> your computer can sense when you are near by and it will unlock itself, and when you go away it locks..
[10:02] <Bushman> Myrtti: in general it does work
[10:02] <Bushman> and all interesting me services are listed in preferences
[10:02] <bigzed> zs, you mean it unlocks itselt if your handy is near by?
[10:02] <zs> yeah, and generally you would have it on you
[10:03] <b1n42y> zs: lol i think its beeen down for like the last 3 hours im waiting also
[10:03] <bigzed> but isn't this unsecure?
[10:03] <bedo2991> I've got resolution issues
[10:03] <bigzed> someone could copy your mobilphone signal
[10:04] <bedo2991> I changed my resolution and now I can't get the previus one back
[10:04] <zs> b1n42y: yeah I finally got compiz to work and now I want some new window decs... all this time and it doesn't work
[10:04] <bedo2991> when I click on "apply" it doesn't change anything
[10:04] <DizzyDoo> Question: I've been trying to set up OpenSSH on my server, but I can't seem to connect to it on Putty on my Windows machine. Error being: "host does not exist", what should I check?
[10:04] <rww> DizzyDoo: what are you putting in as the hostname on putty? the server's IP address?
[10:04] <b1n42y> DizzyDoo: try connecting by ip
[10:05] <b1n42y> ;p
[10:05] <zs> bigzed: yeah but if someone wants your info it doesn't matter what you do, they will get it..
[10:05] <zs> bigzed: it's just we are all small potatoes compared to who else is out there ie ceo's celebritys
[10:06] <DizzyDoo> rww, bln42y: The server does not have a static IP, how can I find the IP out? Since I'm on the network with the server, I was trying username@localhost or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>but neither work
[10:06] <b1n42y> can i be a tomatoe
[10:06] <zs> sure thing
[10:07] <zs> you just squish easier
[10:07] <rww> DizzyDoo: on the actual server, the IP address is in the output of ifconfig (look for "inet addr"). Alternatively, if you have admin access to the router you're using, many of them have a page that'll display the IP addresses of connected computers.
[10:08] <bedo2991> anybody?
[10:08] <zs> so does anyone know if there is ever going to be a way to browse nfs shares just like you can with samba shares?
[10:08] <dr_Willis> zs,  i doubt it.
[10:09] <zs> yeah, since samba works fine already
[10:09] <DizzyDoo> rww, I am connecting to the inet addr, which says it is <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:09] <dr_Willis> zs,  thats not the reason.. NFS has a different design goal
[10:09] <zs> how so?
[10:09] <b1n42y> !resolution | bedo2991
[10:09] <bn43> hi is anyone using smstools here? it is shown in the /etc/init.d/ folder but does not start up automatically
[10:10] <rww> DizzyDoo: "ifconfig" on the server says that? or on the Windows client?
[10:10] <bn43> what is wrong?
[10:10] <b1n42y> DizzyDoo: server
[10:10] <zs> or you can do ctrl+alt+backspace
[10:10] <DizzyDoo> rww, ifconfig on the server says that
[10:11] <b1n42y> DizzyDoo: are you sure you should be putting username b4 ip
[10:12] <Rainium_Isotope_> Q?: How do I configure my system to gnome instead of kde?
[10:12] <rww> DizzyDoo: odd. Try "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" on the server, then try connecting again.
[10:12] <fosco_> !puregnome | Rainium_Isotope_
[10:12] <zs> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:12] <b1n42y> Rainium_Isotope_: you need to install it and change type at login
[10:12] <darrend> hello - if I try to create a second login ("switch user" / gdmflexiserver) the gdm login screen that comes up accepts no mouse or keyboard input at all.  But I can still switch between the 2 with CtrlAltF7 / F9.  Any ideas?
[10:12] <DizzyDoo> rww: I will (have already done so, but once more, just for you)
[10:12] <zs> what he/she said
[10:13] <rww> DizzyDoo: Does Putty take a while trying to connect before it errors out, or does it error out immediately?
[10:14] <zs> best game for linux... anyone?
[10:14] <zs> for free
[10:14] <rww> !games | zs
[10:14] <bazhang> zs please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:14] <zs> damn you, I wanted opinions
[10:15] <zs> ok
[10:15] <zs> sounds good
[10:15] <b1n42y> lol
[10:15] <bazhang> no need for that language zs
[10:15] <ilovebrownies> can someone give me a few pointers on partitioning my HDD?
[10:15] <zs> ok, chill
[10:16] <brunner> what program can I use to dial out on a modem for purposes other than internet access?  it's already set up as a device in /dev.
[10:16] <b1n42y> !partitions | ilovebrownies
[10:17] <ilovebrownies> i was just wondering if extending my existing ext3 partition might go bad
[10:17] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: i have 120 /boot 10gb /root rest /home but it depends if its a server you should have more partitions
[10:17] <zs> ilovebrownies: nope ext3 can grow and shrink
[10:17] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: as always backup
[10:18] <ilovebrownies> i had an NTFS partition which I've now deleted, and I intend to extend my ext3 partition
[10:18] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: and dont interrupt the process of growing and shrinking moving etc
[10:19] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: i think you might have to download gparted live cd  - 90 mb
[10:19] <Rainium_Isotope_> wow... the bots in here seem to be the smartest ones..
[10:19] <Rainium_Isotope_> lol
[10:19] <ilovebrownies> ok, but the ext3 partition needs to be unmounted right? should I use a live CD?
[10:19] <b1n42y> read above
[10:20] <rww> ilovebrownies: Yes, it needs to be unmounted. If you're running Linux off of it, you'll need to use a Live CD (gparted's or Ubuntu's will work fine)
[10:20] <b1n42y> Rainium_Isotope_: are you trying to say something
[10:21] <ilovebrownies> ok thanks
[10:24] <cooldduuudde> why is der so much of silence?
[10:25] <bazhang> cooldduuudde, this is support, people chat in #ubuntu-offtopic fyi

[10:26] <Sunflyer> hey I need some help getting my atheros wireless card to work
[10:26] <b1n42y> !wireless | Sunflyer
[10:26] <Sunflyer> Im trying to install the madwi drivers, but it cant find the package called build-essential ?
[10:26] <shepherd> i need help.    ubuntu wont install office  2008

[10:27] <s_spiff> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10.. (altho I've used Ubuntu extensively before)..it's been a long time since i used it.. so would like to know how do i go about installing the nvidia drivers
[10:27] <s_spiff> !nvidia
[10:27] <bazhang> shepherd, did you check the appdb?
[10:27] <rdw200169> s_spiff, it should just be the package nvidia-glx, they took out nvidia-glx-new
[10:28] <b1n42y> shepherd: are you aware of openoffice
[10:28] <s_spiff> rdw200169, ohh .. what happened to Envy?
[10:28] <shepherd> i dont know anything about computers, my cusin sold me   a  computer   and     i bought   windows   office and it wont install
[10:28] <quibbler> Sunflyer: in a terminal do: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:28] <Myrtti> !envy | s_spiff
[10:28] <rdw200169> s_spiff, its still there, you *can* use that, but first try the supported package
[10:29] <Sunflyer> Im trying to do this http://www.stchman.com/ath_drv.html
[10:29] <s_spiff> rdw200169, ok. thanks Myrtti

[10:40] <Grom> hello
[10:40] <shepherd> hi gorm
[10:40] <susanne> Hello! I want to use wireless internet but after boot, it's connected with the access point but have no ip/router dhcp. When doing /etc/init.d/networking restart it works. How can I make this working from boot on?
[10:40] <bazhang> shepherd, this is ubuntu ?
[10:40] <shepherd> i dont know
[10:40] <bazhang> shepherd, then open office is installed
[10:40] <Grom> my sudoers file have "parse error" when I try to use "sudo" command
[10:40] <shepherd> how am i supposed to know?
[10:40] <Grom> I have no root passwd
[10:40] <bazhang> shepherd, is it windows?
[10:41] <bazhang> Grom, dont need one, use sudo
[10:41] <dominique> Grom: You have to specify your localhost in /etc/resolv.conf i guess.
[10:41] <shepherd> i have no files saved? i have no  my documents
[10:41] <bazhang> !sudo | Grom
[10:41] <shepherd> i have no my music or my documents
[10:41] <Grom> I know whats sudo
[10:41] <Grom> but if I try to use sudo then I get "parse error"
[10:41] <rdw200169> dominique, hmm.. you could try adding a network restart to rc.local
[10:41] <to3000> go to aplcations, office, open office word prosseser, file open, find the resume and click on the printer
[10:41] <bazhang> shepherd, right click desktop create new document
[10:41] <to3000> button
[10:41] <Grom> because I have broken /etc/sudoers
[10:42] <BeBoo_> is there a x64 flash player?
[10:42] <rww> Grom: I'm guessing you chose to ignore the note in /etc/sudoers that you should only edit that file using the "visudo" command, not directly?
[10:42] <dominique> rdw200169: Yeah, but this is a bad solution i think... I mean, networking is executed while booting, isn'it? Why do i have to restart it...?
[10:42] <to3000> you have a documents folder
[10:42] <Grom> and I dont know how to fix that.
[10:42] <s_spiff> rdw200169, i just installed nvidia-glx... no change afaik
[10:42] <shepherd> why would my cusi do  this to me?  he knows i need  to get a job can this thing even email?
[10:42] <Grom> rww, yup :P
[10:43] <bazhang> shepherd, sure it can
[10:43] <shepherd> i'm  super upset right nwo
[10:43] <rdw200169> dominique, it may be a problem with the initialization of the wireless related drivers... i dunno.  you may have received an error in your syslog, like it didn't get an IP address in time
[10:43] <shepherd> i feel like i'm going to puke
[10:43] <bazhang> shepherd, you should listen carefully, or go talk to your cousin; this is support and not a chat channel
[10:43] <rdw200169> dominique, i'm not sure, but i think the timeout for dhcp is reduced during boot to prevent seemingly *loooong* boot times, even though some routers are stubborn and make you wait a while for your IP address (like mine :( )
[10:43] <cooldduuudde> shepherd: i think you would b better off using windows
[10:43] <rww> Grom: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[10:44] <Myrtti> shepherd: calm down
[10:44] <shepherd> i'm  listening
[10:44] <bazhang> shepherd, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[10:44] <bazhang> cooldduuudde, that is not helpful
[10:44] <dominique> rdw200169: Yeah, i had troubles last days with wireless, so I installed a few drivers i (probably) don't need. Maybe there's a conflict. Thank you, i'll try to remove some of them from modules
[10:44] <yellabs> hello all
[10:44] <ftab> Where can I find the Ubuntu Humun Theme Icons?
[10:44] <rdw200169> s_spiff, hmm... i'm not sure with intrepid (i'm still using 8.04), but i think you need to set the driver in 'Screens' or something like that...
[10:44] <yellabs> is there someone who uses the hp mini mei dark theme?
[10:44] <yellabs> or any dark theme?
[10:44] <dominique> how can I login as a superuser while logged in as a non sudoer?
[10:44] <rdw200169> dominique, you should check the syslog for a boot message that might help ;)
[10:45] <dominique> rdw200169: k... :)
[10:45] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  sudo -s, to get a root shell.. or otehr ways - depending on the task
[10:45] <s_spiff> rdw200169, okies... why's intrepid still so unorganized... ?
[10:45] <rww> ftab: They're in the human-icon-theme package, which installs them to /usr/share/icons/Human/
[10:45] <bazhang> shepherd, right click desktop
[10:45] <rdw200169> s_spiff, i dunno, like i said, i'm still not using it.  regardless, did the restricted drivers manager give you a popup saying you had proprietary drivers available?
[10:45] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: doesn't work, it asks me for the root password for the account i'm logged in
[10:45] <bazhang> shepherd, select create new document
[10:46] <s_spiff> rdw200169, hmm..thanks :)
[10:46] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  it will only work for accopunts in the proper group. ie: the initiallymade user.
[10:46] <rdw200169> s_spiff, and, on a side note, it seems that jaunty is gonna have  a very nice gui for X.org
[10:46] <ftab> thank you rww:
[10:46] <ftab> :)
[10:46] <shepherd> look i dont want to creaate a new resume, i want the one my mom made for me
[10:46] <rww> ftab: You're welcome :). Glad I could help!
[10:46] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: k... so i'm not able to do it atm :)
[10:46] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html here is a comprehensive guide shepherd
[10:46] <s_spiff> rdw200169, hmm..but that means it's just cleaning up the 8.10 :P
[10:46] <ftab> I just wanted to use those icons in my desktop application
[10:47] <bazhang> shepherd, then load it up, and edit or print after opening with open office
[10:47] <b1n42y> shepherd: ask your mom where the document is
[10:47] <rdw200169> s_spiff, i'm sorry i couldn't help more... what I *do* know is that X.org doesn't *need* a config file anymore... you may need to use the nvidia config tool to create a quick xorg.conf so it will load the nvidia driver
[10:47] <shepherd> look, i have a job interview in six hours i dont have time  to read i need answers now
[10:47] <Mr_Bananas> hello ubuntu technicians
[10:47] <bazhang> shepherd, from usb or wherever, right click and then it will open in open office automatically
[10:47] <shepherd> my mom is mexico on vacation
[10:47] <rdw200169> Mr_Bananas, technicians get paid...
[10:48] <b1n42y> IMO shepherd is pulling the wool over our eyes
[10:48] <Mr_Bananas> haha well you guys are the liberty technicians
[10:48] <bazhang> shepherd, we have no idea where the document is; this is ubuntu support, and not a chat channel
[10:48] <shepherd> i have nothing saved it was all  saaaved on this computer. it is not in the c:/ driver where is my c:/ driver?
[10:48] <b1n42y> roflmao
[10:48] <s_spiff> ok i think i was supposed to install version 177..but i've installed 180... so when i try to remove it.. i get an error: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[10:49] <shepherd> nothing is rolfmayo
[10:49] <bazhang> shepherd, so if you have a support question, then fire away, but for document management re your home environment please take it elsewhere
[10:49] <shepherd> thgis is serious
[10:49] <Myrtti> b1n42y: if you don't have anything constructive to say, please don't
[10:49] <rdw200169> Mr_Bananas, having read over what i wrote, i realize that i may have been misleading... i was joking, not trying to extort money ;)
[10:50] <shepherd> well i mise well  go kill my self, thank you ubuntu
[10:50] <b1n42y> Myrtti: its obvious hes having a joke he doesnt know anything about computers but know the acronym roflmao
[10:50] <b1n42y> C
[10:50] <bazhang> b1n42y, no
[10:50] <Myrtti> b1n42y: drop it
[10:50] <bazhang> b1n42y, not helpful
[10:51] <b1n42y> oh ok, what have i been doing for the last 2 hours
[10:51] <b1n42y> ...
[10:51] <bazhang> b1n42y, chat elsewhere not here; support here, offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:52] <rdw200169> b1n42y, you don't want to anger bazhang, he spends a *lot* of time in here... i don't think he sleeps...
[10:55] <Mr_Bananas> why is flash player 121 mb????
[10:55] <Dr_willis_AAO> Mr_Bananas,  because adobe says so?
[10:56] <Mr_Bananas> for windows and mac its like 1 mb
[10:56] <b1n42y> Mr_Bananas: libraries needed to run it
[10:56] <b1n42y> Mr_Bananas: once you install them its possible they will get used for another program
[10:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> Mr_Bananas,  for windows and mac - from what ive seen.. youy download their installer.. then it gets the rest
[10:56] <vpol> can anybody suggest? when i maximize gnome-terminal, Xorg process takes 56% cpu. in normal mode 5% cpu.
[10:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> but does it really matter? If you want flash you do the download...
[10:57] <Mr_Bananas> yes yes but i thought the plugin to be somewhat smaller
[10:57] <WizardJames> So whats the chances that ubuntu installing on my laptop will pickup the wireless just fine, or should i start finding a cable to hook it up to the switch?
[10:57] <b1n42y> !hardware
[10:57] <Dr_willis_AAO> WizardJames,  totally depends on the chipset.. I would find a cable.
[10:57] <dominique> Where can i specify programs that have to be executed after booting but before x starts for all users?
[10:58] <rdw200169> WizardJames, going with what Dr_willis_AAO says, find the chipset you're using and make sure it is compatible
[10:58] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  what sort of programs?
[10:58] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: like /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:58] <rdw200169> dominique, you can do that it /etc/rc.local
[10:58] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  /etc/rc.local if needed for that stuff
[10:58] <WizardJames> Well i found a few guides of people installing it on the same laptop and they had no problems, basicly does the cd install come with the wireless stuff
[10:58] <b1n42y> dominique:  sys > admins > services?
[10:58] <dominique> rdw200169: Dr_willis_AAO: thank you!
[10:58] <quibbler> dominique: system-preferences-sessions
[10:58] <rdw200169> Dr_willis_AAO, i win ;)
[10:59] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  since you want it done befor even anyone can login. :)
[10:59] <Dr_willis_AAO> rdancer,  you where slow here...
[10:59] <dominique> rdw200169: No message found in boot log, i'll put restart networking into /etc/rc.local
[10:59] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: That's it :)
[11:00] <rdw200169> dominique, i find the quick fix like that to be much easier than trying to dig in /etc/init.d/ files ;)
[11:00] <dominique> rdw200169: I can just put the line '/etc/init.d/networking restart' into the file?
[11:01] <FredofzeVosges> Hi!
[11:01] <rdw200169> dominique, yeah
[11:01] <dominique> rdw200169: yeah... but i'm not a fan of these quick'n'dirty since ubuntu is so brillant
[11:01] <rdw200169> dominique, test it by running that file like a normal script to make sure it works
[11:01] <Mr_Bananas> !welcome
[11:01] <FredofzeVosges> Does anyone know how to print 598 xls files with a code?
[11:01] <dominique> it works
[11:02] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, isn't that windows proprietary?
[11:02] <dominique> rdw200169: thank you :)
[11:02] <FredofzeVosges> The thing is I need to parse these files, but I would like to have them displayed all together like pictures in Picasa for instance
[11:02] <dominique> I'll do a reboot and have a look if it doing his job... brb
[11:02] <rdw200169> dominique, if you want to get deeper into the problem... for example if you have random network drops... you can use something like monit to watch the network connection and restart it when necessary
[11:03] <FredofzeVosges> These are not my files, these are orders, and I have been asked to create a study on the parts ordered, costs...
[11:03] <Mr_Bananas> are there any HD movie player for linux?
[11:03] <Mr_Bananas> players
[11:03] <rdw200169> dominique, i have to do this with my wireless connection... it has a bad habit of going stale or something ( i think its the garbage wireless router... )
[11:03] <dominique> rdw200169: I got the network manager applet in the panel, which shows when somethings wrong, then i execute networking restart on my own
[11:03] <FredofzeVosges> I have OpenOffice installed, but this does not solve my problem...
[11:03] <rdw200169> dominique, ah, that works too ;)  i don't use NetworkManager b/c i have a lot of whacky networking things going on ;)
[11:04] <FredofzeVosges> How can I print them all with cups-pdf (my default printer)?
[11:04] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, well, openOffice has the good 'ole print to pdf button in the toolbar...
[11:05] <dominique> rdw200169: hehe :) for me it's suffisent... worst things happen when i'm at my friends and log into his WAP encrypted wlan... this works awesome, but when i go home afterwards i have to take two hours before i can get into my unencrypted wlan...
[11:05] <Dr_willis_AAO> Mr_Bananas,  You mean for HD-Movies on blueray disks? or somthing? or just 'hd' avi files?
[11:05] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, you could try exporting the proprietary .xls file into something much more manageable
[11:06] <FredofzeVosges> rdw200169: I can not open and close 598 times!!!
[11:06] <Mr_Bananas> how can i view my blu-ray movie?
[11:06] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, ohhh, i get it now, what you meant... i thought it was a typo...
[11:07] <dominique> Mr_Bananas: Bluray cd drive, bluray driver..you got these things?
[11:07] <FredofzeVosges> rdw200169: I have found how to export in batch my xls to ods, but it does not help me on how to have them printed  in pdf
[11:07] <Dr_willis_AAO> you could some how script openoffice to open/pring them I imagine..
[11:08] <FredofzeVosges> Dr_willis_AAO: any clue of where I can find such code?
[11:08] <rdw200169> Mr_Bananas, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[11:08] <Dr_willis_AAO> FredofzeVosges,  google I guess.
[11:08] <FredofzeVosges> already tried... no luck
[11:08] <dominique> FredofzeVosges: look at this, maybe it helps you: http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/2161
[11:08] <Dr_willis_AAO> learn  the OOo Scripting language i guess.

[11:11] <rdw200169> nospys, you could take a shot at the alternate cd
[11:11] <oscar> alguien k me pueda ayudar con el emule??
[11:11] <nospys> no can't install, livecd goes to reconfiguration mode can't reconfigure

[11:12] <Cube3D> #xubuntu-es too:P
[11:12] <nospys> but how hard is it to partition in alternate install? don't want to destroy windows if I can't install linux

[11:12] <Cube3D> yes
[11:12] <oscar> como entro??
[11:12] <Cube3D>  /join #ubuntu-es
[11:13] <hmw> what is the name of the program, that can tell stuff like last (failed) login?
[11:13] <oscar> Cube3D,  thank you

[11:13] <rdw200169> nospys, this video runs through the partitioner in the alternate cd.. try fastforwarding through the beginning, its in the middle somewhere... http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/MoS2007/10_Installing_Ubuntu_Part_2
[11:13] <dominique> hmw: probalby auth.log
[11:13] <hmw> the program, that displays it, dominique
[11:14] <dominique> hmw: /var/log/auth.log
[11:14] <dominique> hmw: cat
[11:14] <rdw200169> hmw, or editor
[11:14] <dominique> hmw: or less, or just open it in a random graphiacl editor liek gedit
[11:14] <micro-`> hello, im using ubuntu-server, how can i put myself into the "testing" tree to get the most updated packages?
[11:14] <hmw> you mean, all linuxes, who are telling me such info after login, do it with grep and such stuff?
[11:15] <rdw200169> micro-`, hmm... i dunno, you could ask in #ubuntu-server
[11:15] <hmw> i want to get the typical message after login, which tells me about my last (failed) login
[11:15] <micro-`> ty
[11:16] <dominique> hmw: ah ok... maybe you could write a script that reads from auth.log since last login (very easy to make with grep) and put it in your ~/.desktop
[11:16] <hmw> dominique - i could, but i guess, there is something similar to lastlog, but the output format is not as I know it
[11:17] <nospys> also does anyone know what could be causing problems with not mounting during install, I tried installing jaunty(graphics worked there) but it refused to see my physical hard drives(also opensuse install atempts also borked in what to my aumetuer eyes looks like mounting problems by looking at the cryptic output I got by switching to virtual terminals to see what the problem was)
[11:18] <dominique> hmw: try tail /var/log/auth.log ... maybe this already serves you right
[11:19] <hmw> dominique - nope. I would have to make a quite complex statement to get all info together. I will make a little script, when I get bored asking google about it ;-)
[11:19] <WizardJames> Ah well. it did find my wireless networks and it works just fine, but now i need to remember what i put the password for the wireless ...
[11:21] <Dr_willis_AAO> try 'password'?
[11:21] <lsolesen> I am using banshee for my music. Is there a way to get it to monitor a folder (so I do not have to update manually if i make changes)?
[11:23] <b1n42y> lsolesen: in amarok theres a watch tickbox maybe banshee has similar
[11:23] <^shakia^> .dal.net
[11:23] <SeySayux> which package contains the kernel headers and where are they installed?
[11:25] <Haz1> hey guys, what's the channel and server to get help for compiz app? smbdy gave it to me here earlier and i've forgot...
[11:25] <jai> hi
[11:25] <Dr_willis_AAO> !compiz |  Haz1
[11:25] <jai> how to install ie
[11:26] <Dr_willis_AAO> jai,  there are some unofficial 'scripts' that install internet explorer in wine.  for 'testing' sstuff.
[11:26] <WizardJames> o yay...install updates:  276mb.    Well could be worse..  bluetooth and wireless working right off the disk
[11:26] <Guest69284> hi
[11:26] <Dr_willis_AAO> ies4linux i think its called.
[11:26] <Guest69284> yes
[11:27] <Chiliblack> I want to run something from rc.local is it just a matter of adding the /path/to/command or do I have to sh /path/to/command
[11:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[11:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> Chiliblack,  no sh needed. you may want to put a & at the end of he command
[11:27] <Chiliblack> true good poitn
[11:28] <Dr_willis_AAO> sh /path/to/script MIGHT be needed on some rare scripts
[11:28] <Chiliblack> thanks Dr_willis_AAO
[11:28] <Chiliblack> it is an binary actually
[11:28] <Dr_willis_AAO> then you dont need sh. :)
[11:29] <Chiliblack> it is a lcd_daemon for an old server
[11:29] <Chiliblack> the binary is from RH6
[11:29] <Chiliblack> but it does run , just the init.d script doesn't want to work for some reason which I haven't tracked down yet
[11:30] <lsolesen> b1n42y: not that I can find :(
[11:30] <spyeye> is there a german channel here?

[11:32] <Chiliblack> any recommendations on a pcie videocard with hdmi out?
[11:32] <Dr_willis_AAO> Chiliblack,  i stick with nvidia. and it depends on your needs/budget

[11:34] <Dr_willis_AAO> !repos
[11:34] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, it not showing on either of them :(
[11:35] <Chiliblack> Dr_willis_AAO, My needs for a video card are little really (I made the mistake last time and got a ATI card which is a bit of a pain really
[11:35] <joakimk> Hi all! New user here, migrated from FC10 :) My C++ project uses libpq-fe (postgresql); how can I install the packages/libs I need to compile my project?
[11:35] <sky_> exist hamachi for linux ?
[11:35] <Dr_willis_AAO> s_spiff,  try the commands with sudo? pehaps
[11:35] <Dr_willis_AAO> !find hamachi
[11:35] <abchirk> fosco_ so I added it with the UIN, next reboot is the UIN the same for the partition, right? Or if I plug it into another USB-slot?
[11:35] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, umm.. ok
[11:35] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, no change :(
[11:35] <fosco_> abchirk: not sure, just try, if uuid does not work use partition names
[11:36] <Chiliblack> Dr_willis_AAO, The AAO works pretty well under osx and I just neded 'something to sync my garmin watch and my ipod too without running through hoops and couldn't face windows anymore
[11:36] <abchirk> ok
[11:36] <Dr_willis_AAO> s_spiff,  ive had dozens  of realtek cards. and most all have worked fine. if lspci isent showing it.. theres some deep issue going on.
[11:36] <b1n42y> s_spiff: tried disabling onboard in bios?
[11:36] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, i know! this used to work on hardy... dunno whats wrong right now.. altho i've had such an issue before too.. the only thing resolved it was a fresh reinstalltion
[11:37] <joakimk> g++ tells me, "graph.h:27:20: error: libpq-fe: No such file or directory"
[11:37] <s_spiff> b1n42y, umm.. i need both my cards :|
[11:37] <joakimk> where line 27 is #include <libpq-fe.h>
[11:37] <Chiliblack> find a live cd of hardy and try it
[11:37] <joakimk> ...I'm thinking this is more an Ubuntu issue, than a C++ issue :)
[11:38] <joakimk> I've tried apt-get install libpq, and variations like libpq-dev, etc
[11:38] <rdw200169> hmw, you would add the .so for pam_tally to the /etc/pam.d/common-auth, then use pam_tally binary to print the count using some bash-magic (very easy)
[11:39] <quibbler> joakim-: in a terminal type: apt-cache search libpq
[11:39] <hmw> rdw200169 - thanks for the hint, quite interesting stuff. I still need to look at pam. btw: pam_tally seems not to display "my attempted logins' status"
[11:40] <b1n42y> s_spiff: tturn it off, see what happens, if it picks up realtek turn on onboard
[11:40] <rdw200169> hmw, that is because, by default, that pam module is not used
[11:40] <b1n42y> s_spiff: might be an irq issue
[11:40] <joakimk> quibbler: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124221/ :)
[11:40] <rdw200169> hmw, ubuntu uses Pluggable Authentication Modules for the auth process of, well, pretty much everything... a very powerful and useful system
[11:41] <Dr_willis_AAO> s_spiff,  check dmesg output perhaps some info in there..   This maybe a bit hard to troubleshoot.
[11:41] <hmw> rdw200169 - ic, thanks. Guess i will be either grepping the faillog or living with the output of lastlog
[11:41] <rdw200169> hmw, for example, using PAM, you can use a card reader and a Smart Card to log in, circumventing /etc/passwd
[11:41] <joakimk> btw, here's my compiler errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124222/
[11:41] <hmw> rdw200169 - that' quite cool
[11:41] <rdw200169> hmw, trust me, this is *much* easier
[11:42] <s_spiff> b1n42y, Dr_willis_AAO okies..will check
[11:42] <quibbler> joakimk: you are on your own now ...i know zero about c++....
[11:42] <joakimk> quibbler: :) But did apt-cache tell you something?
[11:42] <joakimk> quibbler: didn't mean to hit you with compiler dump ;)
[11:42] <hmw> rdw200169 - i got a reader, where do i get a card?
[11:43] <s_spiff> b1n42y, what's an irq issue?
[11:43] <rdw200169> hmw, once the pam_tally.so is in your /etc/pam.d/common-auth, failed attempts end up in /var/log/faillog... then you would just add a line to your bashrc that runs the binary, pam_tally --user $USER
[11:44] <quibbler> joakimk: it's telling you what files are available in apt-get relating to libpq
[11:44] <rdw200169> hmw, hmm... you can either use something like the OpenPGP card (which is a *pain* to get), or use something like a DoD Common Access Card (that's what I do)
[11:45] <b1n42y> s_spiff: interrupt requests
[11:45] <rdw200169> hmw, you can also use something like pam_poldi to use a thumbdrive to log in based on the UUID of the drive
[11:45] <rdw200169> hmw, but i don't consider that very safe... it does work though ;)
[11:45] <hmw> rdw200169 - i was about to ask... that's good news
[11:46] <s_spiff> b1n42y, umm ok.. sorry non-techie here... used to mess around with ubuntu a lot before..but its been over a year since i touched it.. so kinda forgotten stuff.
[11:46] <b1n42y> s_spiff: some devices may want exclusiveness, in the old day sound cards wanted irq 5 and werent happy to share maybe something along those lines is happening
[11:46] <hmw> rdw200169 - how would I approch faking such a thumbdrive?
[11:46] <hmw> rdw200169 - i mean, if i was to "steal" my own key
[11:46] <rdw200169> hmw, it's nothing about faking... hold on, lemme get you a link
[11:47] <disown> i'm looking for some command-line scripts that let you show gui components. I think i've seen it before, but forgot the name...
[11:47] <s_spiff> b1n42y, but i have had the same setup ( same two controllers) work on breexy.. hoary.. edgy and hardy
[11:47] <s_spiff> so no reason it shouldnt work on intrepid
[11:47] <b1n42y> s_spiff: if after disabling onboard, realtek works try moving realtek to dif pci slot and enabling onboard
[11:47] <hmw> rdw200169 - in other terms, what is the security issue with a flash drive?
[11:47] <joakimk> I've installed (apt-get) libpqxx-dev. Do I need to reboot or something for these to take effect? I'm still getting compiler errors.
[11:47] <s_spiff> b1n42y, i will do that in a bit and get back to you.
[11:47] <b1n42y> s_spiff: its a suggestion
[11:47] <disown> something like '$show-alert: out of battery'
[11:48] <s_spiff> b1n42y, i understand :) thanks.
[11:48] <b1n42y> np hope it works
[11:48] <rdw200169> hmw, wait, i was thinking of pam_usb... i.e. libpam-usb
[11:49] <Oli``> Anybody know how I can "virtually" merge the contents of two real directories into one? I have two directories on two drives storing different parts of a ton of video clips. I want to merge them (in a read-only way, if that simplifies things) so I can put them out as a samba share and they'll look like one directory
[11:49] <hmw> rdw200169 - are UUIDs changeable?
[11:49] <rdw200169> hmw: http://pamusb.org/  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17571   http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Pam_usb_authentication
[11:50] <rdw200169> hmw, those links should get you started in trying this.. just be careful!  if you screw up your PAM configuration(s)... you computer becomes quite difficult to login to!
[11:50] <Dr_willis_AAO> you can change a drives UUID yes. :)
[11:50] <hmw> Dr_willis_AAO - thx
[11:51] <quibbler> joakimk: you may have more help in ##c++
[11:51] <rdw200169> hmw, i used to use that PAM module to immediately lock the screen when i pulled the thumb drive out... then when i needed to log in, i put the drive back in *and* put in my password
[11:52] <hmw> rdw200169 - nice
[11:52] <hmw> rdw200169 - how will sudo look like?
[11:52] <rdw200169> hmw, sudo is un-changed and for the most part, unrelated
[11:52] <hmw> ic
[11:52] <rdw200169> hmw, sudo relies upon PAM, just like everything else
[11:52] <hmw> doesnt matter, i am a fan of sudo -i
[11:53] <rdw200169> hmw, if PAM says a user is authenticated, then sudo is happy
[11:53] <hmw> i want to be asked, and answering with y/n
[11:53] <rdw200169> hmw, then sudo authentication gets into visudo, but that's a story for another day
[11:54] <tjanda> im back
[11:54] <rdw200169> hmw, if you look in the /etc/pam.d directory, you will notice that many login related apps have their own files in there
[11:54] <rdw200169> hmw, and most of them point to common-*
[11:54] <dayo_> mv doesn't work on directories. what does?
[11:55] <b1n42y> has anyone successfully setup evolution with gmail and imap
[11:55] <rdw200169> hmw, if you want, for example, sudo to *always* request a password from /etc/password, then you would modify /etc/pam.d/sudo to reflect that
[11:55] <hmw> rdw200169 - that's why i wanted an LFS as a workstation - too much stuff in Linux *g* I am still learing
[11:55] <rdw200169> hmw, LFS?
[11:56] <hmw> dayo_ what are you to move?
[11:56] <hmw> rdw200169 - www.linuxfromscratch.org
[11:57] <rdw200169> hmw, ah, you have fun with that, i'll be content to just tweak what works to do what i want
[11:57] <Lou_> I have the delay for the repeat key set as long as possible, but it is still far too sensitive. How can I lengthen the delay more?
[11:57] <Administrator___> This is my first time to use ubuntu, any good suggestion?
[11:57] <hmw> rdw200169 - LOL
[11:57] <dayo_> hmw: i want to move a directory.
[11:57] <hmw> dayo_ what dirs are you trying to move? mv should do it normally.
[11:58] <rdw200169> hmw, just go do some research in PAM and you'll be setting up ldap directories with Kerberos back-ends in no time
[11:58] <dayo_> hmw: hang on, let me try something
[11:58] <hmw> dayo_ maybe you tried to move something, which contains a mount point to another file system
[11:59] <nosyc> what sftp server should I use?
[11:59] <rdw200169> nosyc, openssh-server is a sftp server

[12:04] <joakimk> locate libpq-fe.h gives me /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h My compiler complains about my #include <libpq-fe.h>: graph.h:27:20: error: libpq-fe: No such  file or directory
[12:05] <joakimk> I think this is not so much a C++ issue...
[12:05] <Art4k> who can help me with nvidia drivers ?
[12:05] <oCean_> !info freemat
[12:05] <joakimk> Doesn't it look like I've got libpq-fe installed?
[12:06] <rdw200169> nosyc, the SSL thing... the transport layer is encrypted, that's kinda the point of SSH (Secure Shell)

[12:08] <jrib> alex_: there's a page on help.ubuntu.com/community about matlab
[12:08] <joakimk> Noone in the Ubuntu/C++ crossover here? :)
[12:08] <jrib> joakimk: huh?
[12:08] <jrib> !install | degrit
[12:09] <joakimk> jrib: thought that'd catch some attention :P
[12:09] <b1n42y> s_spiff: so did it work?
[12:09] <joakimk> jrib: I can't get my c++ project to compile on my new ubuntu box
[12:09] <joakimk> jrib: it can't find libpq
[12:09] <oCean_> alex_: matlab is not in the repositories, "freemat" is. Installing matlab might be a problem. However, you can share your current problem here, and if anyone knows the answer, you'll probably here it...
[12:09] <jrib> joakimk: be more specific/provide more details
[12:09] <s_spiff> b1n42y, haven't gotten to that yet.. just installing some packages
[12:09] <s_spiff> will do in a bit
[12:09] <s_spiff> brb
[12:09] <oCean_> hm
[12:09] <degrit> jrib, aye aye cap'n
[12:09] <b1n42y> np message me im curious
[12:09] <jrib> degrit: there's also some way to boot from a .iso on your hard drive with grub iirc, but I have no idea how.  You might rty to figure out how to do that if the methods in the wiki fail
[12:10] <joakimk> jrib: Well, apt-cache libpq gives: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124221/. I installed libpqxx
[12:10] <nosyc> joakimk: #include <postgresql/libpq-fe.h> ?
[12:10] <Dr_willis_AAO> ive seen booting iso files befor.. but you need to get a proper kenel/initrd  for that
[12:10] <jrib> joakimk: what are you compiling?
[12:10] <joakimk> nosyc: let me try
[12:10] <joakimk> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124222/
[12:10] <joakimk> jrib: compiler output
[12:10] <degrit> jrib, thanks, will try
[12:10] <b1n42y> anyone know if pidgin has a plugin that displays irc messages addressed to user if irc window not in focus?
[12:11] <nosyc> b1n42y: #pidgin

[12:11] <ville_> How can i found finnish chat ?
[12:11] <rdw200169> nosyc, wait, for the ssh thing, did you make sure that your desktop was accessible?  i.e. no firewall blocking port 22?
[12:11] <bazhang> !fi
[12:11] <bazhang> ville_, /join #ubuntu-fi
[12:12] <nosyc> rdw200169: it's a server and yes. The problem is probably that I'm not actually running openssh but sshd or something
[12:12] <joakimk> jrib: yes both :)
[12:12] <joakimk> nosyc: that seems to work
[12:12] <dayo_> hmw: i was trying to move another user's directory as root. didn't work with mv, until i chown -R root:root *

[12:13] <luciash> hi, any idea why my ~/.bash_profile exports are ignored in Intrepid while it worked earlier when logging in ?
[12:13] <spsneo> There are few repositories which are local and few others like medibuntu behind  proxy. How can I use apt-get to use both repositories.
[12:13] <jrib> luciash: be more specific....
[12:13] <rdw200169> nosyc, well, sshd *is* openssh-server
[12:13] <herve76__> Hello
[12:13] <nosyc> rdw200169: why doesn't it work then. I can ssh in
[12:14] <spsneo> There are few repositories which are local and few others like medibuntu behind  proxy. How can I use apt-get to use both repositories. I don't know how to ignore proxy for few addresses
[12:14] <luciash> e.g. i have "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/" there but echo $JAVA_HOME prints nothing
[12:14] <luciash> jrib: ^
[12:14] <hmw> dayo_ that should also work (just tried it) - maybe some programs had a file open in that directory? lsof shows opened files
[12:14] <oCean_> luciash: I'm not sure what 'while it worked earlier' is, but in intrepid i have ~/.profile (working) and not ~/.bash_profile
[12:15] <jrib> luciash: have you closed your terminal and opened it again?
[12:15] <luciash> oCean_: it worked in Hardy
[12:15] <herve76__> I have a simple permission question. I have two users on the same group. I setup a folder as 770 and this file is owned by this group. my problem is that the second user cannot access to this folder and I don't understand why
[12:15] <luciash> i'll try ~/.profile
[12:15] <herve76__> Can someone please help me
[12:15] <jrib> luciash: erm.  Wait.  Are you using automatic login?
[12:15] <luciash> jrib: yep, i tried many times, logging out of the desktop environment or launching new terminals
[12:15] <herve76__> I have been struggling with this for the past two hours. I am running out of ideas.
[12:15] <oCean_> herve76__: just state your problem/issue/question, and see if anyone know the answer
[12:16] <luciash> jrib: nope, i use gdm
[12:16] <rdw200169> nosyc, check the end of /var/log/auth.log
[12:16] <luciash> no automatic login
[12:16] <freedomyug> can anyone help me fixing this ltsp issue on ubuntu interpid (8.10) , i am looking at the frozen screen since last one day and need to fix it asap on this remote site
[12:16] <herve76__> How can I setup a folder so it can be accessed by user from the same group ?
[12:17] <Boohbah> freedomyug: can you be more specific?
[12:17]  * luciash is going to symlink his ~/.bash_profile
[12:17] <Boohbah> herve76__: chgrp group file
[12:17] <jrib> !permissions > herve76__
[12:18] <freedomyug> boohbah, i have installe dubuntu 8.10 and then installed ltsp server etc, built i386 client image
[12:18] <nosyc> how do I sync my date/time with a timeserver?
[12:18] <herve76__> I know how to setup permissions
[12:18] <jrib> !ntp | nosyc
[12:18] <jrib> herve76__: then what's your question?
[12:18] <oCean_> nosyc: "ntpdate"
[12:18] <freedomyug> as soon as i connect the client , it does pxe boot, tftp, takes up image using nbd, and then stuck at graphical login,
[12:19] <herve76__> chgrp or chown do not do it
[12:19] <rdw200169> nosyc, ntp
[12:19] <jrib> herve76__: do not do WHAT?
[12:19] <herve76__> the second user cannot read the folder
[12:19] <nosyc> oCean_: thanks
[12:19] <rdw200169> ah, i wasn't paying attention
[12:19] <herve76__> but the folder is set to be owned by the group
[12:19] <jrib> herve76__: because you haven't given the folder's group read permissions then
[12:19] <Boohbah> herve76__: does the file have group read and execute permissions?
[12:19] <shadeslayer> hi i am having a bit of a problem with CPU scaling
[12:19] <herve76__> yes Idid
[12:19] <herve76__> 770
[12:19] <jrib> herve76__: pastebin.
[12:19] <shadeslayer> i used this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248867
[12:20] <herve76__> pastebin ? what is that ?
[12:20] <shadeslayer> but my configurration isnt being saved
[12:20] <shadeslayer> !pastebin
[12:20] <jrib> herve76__: run a series of commands that shows what you are saying and pastebin them
[12:20] <luciash> oCean_: hmm, .profile symlinked to .bash_profile behaves the same when i launch new terminal
[12:20] <nosyc> as root: ntpdate[24080]: step-systime: Operation not permitted
[12:20] <jrib> luciash: .profile will only get sourced on login
[12:20] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  i was thinking ONE or the OTHER got read by the login shells..
[12:21] <WizardJames> O wow things have changed so much in the past years,   connected to my vista computer without a problem..heck, most xp computeres wont connect to my vista computer without something going wrong
[12:21] <jrib> nosyc: ... read the links ubottu gave you instead of just running commands
[12:21] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  xterm -ls, would read .bash_profile if it exists not .bashrc,,, normal xterm would read just .bashrc :)
[12:21] <oCean_> luciash: edit ~.bashrc
[12:21] <oCean_> luciash: that'll do the trick
[12:21] <luciash> i will try, thanks
[12:22] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  to test all this you can put a 'echo This is .bash_profile' or similer line at the start of eah file.. to see when each one is getting read.
[12:22] <nosyc> jrib: have you read it? It says run `ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com`
[12:22] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  and you can 'source'  one from the others.. ie. .bash_profile could 'source .bashrc'  at the end.
[12:23] <freedomyug> boohbah, any clues ?
[12:23] <freedomyug> on ltsp stuff?
[12:23] <luciash> well, i'll try to play with it... i have no idea when it got changed and why exactly
[12:24] <Boohbah> freedomyug: unfortunately you haven't provided enough information for anyone here to diagnose the issue
[12:24] <herve76__> now it is working I had relog again to make it work
[12:24] <herve76__> thankx guys
[12:24] <herve76__> have a good idea
[12:25] <Boohbah> freedomyug: do you see any relevant error messages in syslog or Xorg.0.log ?
[12:25] <jrib> nosyc: none of the links say that.  You might get the same error though if you do what the links do say
[12:25] <shadeslayer> so no idea of what im doing wrong??
[12:25] <s_spiff> b1n42y, didn't work... tried a different PCI slot... and still not detected...
[12:25] <s_spiff> :(
[12:25] <freedomyug> i dont see anything fishy in the error logs, neither Xorg.6.log on client, nor in syslogs, ldm.log etc
[12:25] <shadeslayer> i save the file,its contents are the same,but it gives me a error
[12:26] <freedomyug> there is an nbd error, which is ignorable., as i also switched to nfs and tested, its the same
[12:26] <sky_> how i can install linux distros under vbox ?
[12:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> sky_,  run vbox, tell it to mount the iso.. boot the iso.. start installing
[12:27] <shadeslayer> sky_: its quite simmple
[12:27] <shadeslayer> yeah
[12:27] <jrib> nosyc: so is this on a vps?
[12:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> Time to read the vbox docs. :)
[12:27] <jrib> or some virtualized system?
[12:27] <luciash> sky_: dload linux distro iso and then just follow the wizard
[12:27] <shadeslayer> then install using the iso and wallah
[12:27] <shadeslayer> *voila
[12:28] <nosyc> jrib: yeah, the clock needs to be set on the parent machine instead
[12:28] <shadeslayer> the wizards is perfect for n00bs
[12:28] <freedomyug> i does pxe boot, tftp, nbd image, initializes, and just at the graphical screen it is stuck
[12:28] <shadeslayer> i used it and found no problems
[12:28] <Dr_willis_AAO> be sure to enable the proper sound device in vbox settings :)
[12:28] <shadeslayer> and the addons

[12:31] <wifinet> 7iu
[12:32] <timahvo1> what is the kde equivalent of gnome-do ?
[12:32] <guntbert> paul68: yes, you must work with ssh keys
[12:32] <Dr_willis_AAO> you can set up ssh and thus scp to use no passwords by copyin gover the proper keys first
[12:32] <freedomyug> hey now i tried with my laptop as a client and it works
[12:32] <paul68> guntbert: can you explain?

[12:36] <paul68> dayo: thanks
[12:36] <Dr_willis_AAO> paul68,  ssh  and its related parts are documented all over hte place. :) theres even books on the topic.. its an amazing tool.
[12:36] <dayo> paul68: you're welcome
[12:36] <shadeslayer> !scaling
[12:36] <jcdyer> Alternatively, is there any other wireless headset people would recommend?
[12:37] <shadeslayer> anyways
[12:37] <paul68> Dr_willis_AAO:  I know that that's why I want to explore a bit my horizon

[12:53] <dli> erUSUL, if I boot from grub4dos, can I resize the XP partition which holds ubuntu installer?
[12:53] <shadeslayer> devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor=ondemand
[12:53] <shadeslayer> that command is wrong i think
[12:53] <defrysk> markl__, no privating, thanks.
[12:53] <erUSUL> dli: i dunno never tried that
[12:53] <micro-`> when i am using Aptitude via terminal my interface is messed up with some wiered asci chars, and i cant see the text well, i know there was some command with POSIX to fix it
[12:53] <shadeslayer> coz that is the one that comes up as a error while loading
[12:54] <shadeslayer> no splash image ><
[12:54] <marko_> hey why does it say "E: Couldn't find package gtk2-engine-nodoka"?
[12:54] <shadeslayer> not in repo
[12:54] <shadeslayer> maybe
[12:54] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: that's not a command is a line to add to /etc/sysfs.conf
[12:54] <defrysk> its gtk2-engines-nodoka
[12:54] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: if you have sysfsutils
[12:54] <shadeslayer> yeah i know
[12:54] <NFischer> How do i mirror a FTP server on my machine?!
[12:54] <shadeslayer> but when i add it
[12:55] <shadeslayer> i.e on the reboot
[12:55] <shadeslayer> it shows up as a error : Error :Could not load devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor=ondemand
[12:55] <marko_> awesome thanks
[12:55] <hmw> what simple alternatives to gedit are there? I am looking for somthing to code with, but just a tiny program
[12:55] <defrysk> yw
[12:55] <quibbler> !editors
[12:56] <pthagonal1> NFischer: just mirror it once, or keep in sync?
[12:56] <quibbler> !code
[12:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> I like the Geany Text editor. :) its good for programming also
[12:56] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: any idea??
[12:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> !info geany
[12:56] <shadeslayer> i like nano
[12:56] <shadeslayer> :P
[12:56] <rdw200169> i like vim + pida
[12:57] <marko_> defrysk: so i've done that, now how do i activate it?
[12:57] <yowshi> i need msome help trying to reinstall my old drivers after a failed atempt to inastall the latest in thew 180.xx series?
[12:57] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: maybe the sysfs file does not exist on that stage of boot
[12:57] <shadeslayer> hmmm
[12:57] <shadeslayer> so what do i do?
[12:57] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: becouse the modules are loaded later
[12:57] <shadeslayer> dunno
[12:57] <rdw200169> yowshi, at this point, you should really take a shot at envy-ny... it has good success restoring the nvidia drivers to a workable condition
[12:58] <defrysk> marko_, check system > prefs > appearance
[12:58] <SliMM> hello
[12:58] <yowshi> rdw200169: whats envy and where do i get it?
[12:58] <NFischer> pthagonal1, keep it synced
[12:58] <marko_> i did
[12:58] <marko_> it wasnt there
[12:58] <rdw200169> !envy | yowshi
[12:58] <NFischer> pthagonal1, well both.. sync it first and then keep it synced
[12:58] <defrysk> marko_, check customize
[12:58] <SliMM> I need help with setting up a ppp connection to acces the internet through my bt mobilephone
[12:59] <pthagonal1> NFischer: see if they will give you rsync access
[12:59] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: could you be a *bit* more quick,im running out of battery time
[12:59] <defrysk> marko_, then controls and do some nodoka adjusting
[12:59] <shadeslayer> 20min left
[12:59] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: dunno; my kernel allways load the ondemand governor by default which is the (best/what i want)
[12:59] <marko_> ahh i see
[12:59] <yowshi> rdw200169: where do i get it as opposed tto envy24?
[12:59] <SliMM> i have set up my rfcomm.conf and it worked fine, but now (after a restart), rfcomm connect 0 connects for a short time and then it disconnects, without any apperent reason
[13:00] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: could you paste your modules file??
[13:00] <NFischer> pthagonal1, rsync does not work with ftp
[13:00] <quibbler> !info envy
[13:00] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: you can just set the governor in /etc/rc.local with a call to cpufrq-set -g ondemand
[13:00] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: rc.local runs later on the boot
[13:00] <quibbler> !info envyng
[13:00] <rdw200169> !info envyng-gtk
[13:00] <Haz1> hey guys how can i install a theme under GNOME, downloaded a theme i .tar , unpacked opened the appearance manager , tried to add theme, no file to add from the .tar ... what 2 do?
[13:00] <shadeslayer> but i want to load them when the system runs
[13:00] <SliMM> help?
[13:01] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: i do not load those modules via /etc/modules they get loaded automatically
[13:01] <Bushman> hmm....
[13:01] <shadeslayer> not only at boot
[13:01] <pthagonal1> NFischer: its the best way if the remote site will give you rsync access- else dig into wget's options
[13:01] <defrysk> !envyng-gtk
[13:01] <shadeslayer> could you paste your modules file
[13:01] <shadeslayer> that would be a bit helpful
[13:01] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: that's what is supposed to happen anyway
[13:01] <defrysk> !envyng-core
[13:01] <shadeslayer> defrysk: please use query
[13:01] <marko_> defrysk: how come it doesnt look anything like the picture? in the pic its supposed to have this bar down the bottom like a MAC
[13:02] <NFischer> pthagonal1, yeah, im familiar with wget.. i just wanted to have a daemon running which does the job
[13:02] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: i dont care what it does while it boots,i want it to load the modules after the boot too
[13:02] <NFischer> pthagonal1, well thx
[13:02] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: you insisted... bus as i said no mention of cpufreq modules there http://paste.ubuntu.com/124240/
[13:02] <defrysk> marko_, you probably want awn
[13:02] <defrysk> havent seen the image tho
[13:03] <nomasteryoda> avant window navigator = awn
[13:03] <shadeslayer> hmm true
[13:03] <panesar_sandeep> !envyng
[13:03] <shadeslayer> !awn
[13:03] <panesar_sandeep> !envyng|defrysk
[13:03] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: the drivers should autoload and indeed they do on my amd athlon64 x2
[13:03] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: any ideas ??
[13:03] <marko_> defrysk: how do i get awn?
[13:03] <pthagonal1> NFischer: most big mirrors use rsync run from cron as it is most efficient on bandwidth
[13:03] <Haz1> hey guys how can i install a theme under GNOME, downloaded a theme in .tar , unpacked opened the appearance manager , tried to add theme, no file to add via the appearance preferences... any help?
[13:03] <nomasteryoda> !synaptic
[13:04] <shadeslayer> marko_: sudo apt-get install awn
[13:04] <defrysk> marko_, sudo apt-get install <foo>
[13:04] <panesar_sandeep> !awn
[13:04] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: well dont
[13:04] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: i dunno what is the problem... i did not have to do anything for the cpufrq to work on my system
[13:04] <marko_> whats <foo>?
[13:04] <Bushman> every tutorial/howto/example i've found about bluetooth audio is only for devices like headset.
[13:04] <NFischer> pthagonal1, rsync does not work with ftp
[13:04] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: the how to you are folowing is superflous for me
[13:04] <shadeslayer> cpufreq crashed about a week ago
[13:05] <shadeslayer> superflous??
[13:05] <Bushman> how do i configure ubuntu to ACT like a bluetooth headset/handset ?
[13:05] <shadeslayer> ><
[13:05] <nomasteryoda> marko_, alternatively and easier for new users would be synaptic ... System, Administration, Synaptic Package Manager then search for avant
[13:05] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: yes; not needed at all
[13:05] <defrysk> marko_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo
[13:05] <Bushman> so i can discover the audio service on the mobile device and connect to it from the mobile device?
[13:05] <shadeslayer> hm
[13:05] <marko_> thanks
[13:05] <shadeslayer> grr
[13:06] <shadeslayer> this is making me a bit mad
[13:06] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: just remove powernowd and everything should work
[13:06] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: at least it works for me
[13:06] <panesar_sandeep> bushman,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[13:06] <shadeslayer> i dont have powernowd LOL
[13:07] <panesar_sandeep> !powernowd
[13:07] <shadeslayer> :P
[13:07] <Veselushko> !help
[13:07] <shadeslayer> use kpowersave
[13:08] <pthagonal1> NFischer: I think you said that already. However big mirrors use rsync to keep in sync and then serve individual files by ftp as well. They don't sync with each other via ftp.  Maybe http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/mirror will help
[13:08] <NFischer> i see thx, pthagonal1
[13:08] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i'll repeat since you haven't understand me: how do i configure ubuntu to ACT like a bluetooth headset/handset ?
[13:09] <shadeslayer> Bushman: Acting classes??
[13:09] <shadeslayer> :P
[13:09] <yowshi> rdw200169: envyng says the driver i want is already enabled but my system wont use it
[13:09] <Veselushko> !foo
[13:09] <shadeslayer> hahaha
[13:09] <shadeslayer> !foobar
[13:09] <shadeslayer> !foo bar
[13:09] <defrysk> shadeslayer, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
[13:09] <Veselushko> !foo is foobar
[13:10] <bazhang> shadeslayer, please stop
[13:10] <Veselushko> !foobar
[13:10] <shadeslayer> ok
[13:10] <Bushman> shadeslayer: ha... ha... ha... -_-'
[13:10] <Veselushko> !foobar is foo
[13:10] <Veselushko> !foobar
[13:10] <Veselushko> hm :)
[13:10] <bazhang> Veselushko, /msg ubottu in private
[13:10] <defrysk> foo is nnot fubar
[13:11] <quibbler> Haz1: system-preferences-appearance and drag and drop the tar file on the theme tab
[13:11] <Bushman> anyone?
[13:11] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, does that mean u wish to play audio on an external device and receive it via your system??
[13:11] <Bushman> yup
[13:11] <Bushman> something like that
[13:11] <weatherkid> I have a big problem with an Atheros card:'(
[13:12] <shadeslayer> bazhang: sorry
[13:12] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i want my system to work exactly like bt headset
[13:12] <shadeslayer> i want something opposite to that
[13:12] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: or wireles handset you might say
[13:12] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, wats make n model of your bluetooth device

[13:12] <erUSUL> !inetsharing
[13:13] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i want it to work with ANY model of mobile device
[13:13] <Bushman> i don't need model-specyfic solution
[13:13] <sky_> anyone know some good FTP client ?
[13:13] <bazhang> Bushman, you need to check hcl
[13:13] <Bushman> or you mean the bluetooth dongle?
[13:13] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, yup
[13:14] <Veselushko> !xubuntu
[13:14] <defrysk> weatherkid, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[13:14] <Bushman> sorry, what's hcl?
[13:14] <ikonia> sky_: ftp is the "norm", use synaptic to try some ones you may like
[13:14] <bazhang> Bushman, it wont work with 100% of devices
[13:14] <ikonia> Bushman: hardware compatability list
[13:14] <defrysk> weatherkid, that should fix it
[13:14] <weatherkid> defrysk: on LTS that would be...
[13:14] <defrysk> weatherkid, ooh
[13:15] <panesar_sandeep> !hcl|bushman
[13:15] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, wats the make n model of your bluetooth dongle, or is it a local one without exact secifications
[13:16] <WizardJames> Hmm  Tried a few ways and cant find it..   trying to "mount" a shared folder from my vista computer on my ubuntu laptop,  basicly so i can play my music on my laptop without copying all the files
[13:16] <defrysk> weatherkid, http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
[13:16] <shadeslayer> yayy the electricity is back
[13:16] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: any other commands??
[13:16] <xy> hello
[13:16] <shadeslayer> hey
[13:17] <defrysk> weatherkid, in the site are docs on how to install the drivers and what not
[13:17] <quibbler> !welcom | xy:
[13:17] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: well i would just put "cpufreq-set -g ondemand" on /etc/rc.local
[13:17] <quibbler> !welcome | xy:
[13:17] <pthagonal1> Anyone here an expert on iostat?   If I do iostat -d 1 5 /dev/sda  I only get Blk_read/s and Blk_read results for the first set of results - the next 4 are always zero.  Known bug?
[13:17] <DexterF> hi
[13:17] <xy> 3ks
[13:18] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, it also depends on your mobile device whether it is supports wireless audio transfer to devices other than headsets
[13:18] <quibbler> !welcome | DexterF
[13:18] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: http://bushman.pastebin.com/d512a57cc
[13:18] <Bushman> that's my dongle
[13:18] <DexterF> went to a remote box with ssh -X to run mplayer from there. works, but no sound, mplayer says [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1248:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy
[13:18] <weatherkid> defrysk: shouldn't that package that you told me earlier work but instead of intreped hardy
[13:18] <DexterF> how come? should have thought alsa mixes it like any other app
[13:18] <Bushman> and my device is (don't laugh) Windows Mobile 6 powered HTC Blue Angel
[13:19] <defrysk> weatherkid, ath5k is the new module and your lts kernel does not have that module yet and has to be installed manually now
[13:20] <weatherkid> defrysk: thanks
[13:20] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: let's focus on the ubuntu first
[13:20] <Laeborg> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5200135&postcount=5 - im trying this, but when I try ./configure it says its missing the jack package, but apt-get says the jack package is the newest version
[13:20] <weatherkid> defrysk: compat-wireless of the old one
[13:20] <defrysk> weatherkid, if you click the download link youll get detailed howto's and info before install
[13:20] <OptimusPrime> Is there any way to restart audio? Kind of like restarting networking. My audio suddenly doesn't work and I don't want to reboot to fix it
[13:21] <bazhang> Bushman, not sure about bluetooth but with ubuntu you can use that as a wireless modem http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=177252
[13:21] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i have acces to diferent models of mobiles with bluetooth audio support
[13:21] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, there is an option in ubuntu for configuring bluetooth devices, but i'm not sure if it wud work as wireless audio client
[13:21] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, wait
[13:22] <xy> ubuntu & IRC newbie to this world~
[13:22] <DexterF> can I have 32bit mplayer in 64bit ubuntu somehow?
[13:22] <Boohbah> Bushman, panesar_sandeep: that really depends on what bluetooth profiles it supports
[13:23] <xy> there are so many messages, how can i deal with it!?
[13:23] <KazaLite> hi all
[13:23] <Boohbah> xy: break it into smaller pieces
[13:23] <bazhang> xy, ask a question, someone will highlight you
[13:23] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, it may be, ihv used bletooth for file transfers but dis is a bit different, let me check
[13:23] <ircmaxell> How can I tell what kernel module is running my trackpad (it's failing after suspend, and I want to try to reload the module)
[13:24] <craryfans> hi
[13:24] <OptimusPrime> Is there any way to restart audio? Kind of like restarting networking. My audio suddenly doesn't work and I don't want to reboot to fix it
[13:24] <bazhang> xy then when you respond, highlight them by typing first two or three letters of their nick and hit tab key
[13:24] <craryfans> anybody?
[13:24] <bazhang> craryfans, need a question
[13:24] <craryfans> en ?
[13:24] <ircmaxell> OptimusPrime: I've had luck with `sudo alsa force-reload`
[13:24] <craryfans> waht?
[13:24] <Bushman> Boohbah: what do you mean by "profiles it support"? if the audio in both work in one way, it should work in the other way (atleast with the linux and BT dongle since it's only an interface between radio and system
[13:25] <bazhang> xy please keep it in channel
[13:25] <craryfans> alsaconfig?
[13:25] <OptimusPrime> ircmaxell: that did it
[13:25] <OptimusPrime> thanks

[13:39] <JoeA1> hi, when I move a window on my ubuntu it gets invisible and a grid appears, where I can disable that?
[13:41] <Dykam> How to check which file is runned when executing a command, to see which folder it is located. Don't wan to check all the PATH dirs
[13:41] <root> ??
[13:41] <ircmaxell> which
[13:41] <Dykam> thanks
[13:41] <Haz1> hey guys how can i mount a partition in to a folder?
[13:42] <spaceninja> Am I the only one who is experiencing a buggy border window?
[13:42] <Dykam> and how to copy a string to clipboard? (echo test > ?)
[13:42] <ircmaxell> Haz1: sudo mount /dev/partition /path/to/folder
[13:42] <Haz1> tnx
[13:42] <cooldduuudde> spaceninja: i have a buggy border window too in 8.10. it's the title bar
[13:42] <spaceninja> yes
[13:43] <cooldduuudde> wen i have mouse over minimize button the bar gets decolorised
[13:43] <spaceninja> I mean, is it gnome or is it some wierd ubuntu thing?
[13:44] <cooldduuudde> it happened ever since i installed KDE wid gnome
[13:44] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, are you using compiz?  i.e. advanced wobbly windows and all that?
[13:44] <rakudave> spaceninja: Known issue, no fix. But you could install emerald, a different window-decorator...
[13:44] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169: i tried disabling and enabling everything in compiz
[13:44] <rdw200169> rakudave, i was gonna suggest the same thing
[13:44] <spaceninja> yes I'm using some flashy things
[13:44] <spaceninja> but I guess it's ok
[13:44] <Besogon> cooldduuudde, turn off compiz
[13:44] <shadowhywind> does anyone have any ideas on how to change the desktop picture from the console?
[13:45] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, the window borders are controlled by metacity, a different window manager, like emerald, could resolve your problem
[13:45] <spaceninja> where do you turn of compiz
[13:45] <spaceninja> ?
[13:45] <rdw200169> shadowhywind, you have to do that in ~/.gconf, not fun
[13:45] <rakudave> shadowhywind: gconftool -t string -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename the_picture.jpeg
[13:46] <sandeep> bushman, is your prob solved
