[15:21] <Xsploit> wtf?
[15:21] <Kuwanger> Hmm..well, this will take a while to download, it seems.
[15:21] <bazhang> _Oz_: no, sudo apt-get update
[15:22] <kurumin_> hallo
[15:22] <_Oz_> done
[15:22] <_Oz_> now what
[15:22] <kurumin_> pelase help my
[15:22] <ikonia> _Oz_: can you PLEASE stop using enter as a full stop
[15:23] <bazhang> _Oz_: install the packages you want ;]
[15:23] <Flannel> _Oz_: now theyre available for install/search.  Open up synaptic, and take a loo
[15:23] <aroo> kurumin_, ask your question.
[15:23] <_Oz_> ikonia: I will try -- it is an old habit.  sorry.
[15:23] <MrPiracy> ikonia: ok, when i type find /boot/grub/stage1 in grub prompt, it says file not found
[15:23] <ikonia> _Oz_: thank you
[15:23] <kurumin_> ai need instal sound car in linux
[15:23] <ikonia> MrPiracy: so that file is not found on any of your partitions
[15:23] <aroo> kurumin_, what language?
[15:23] <_Oz_> which packages should I look for in synaptic?
[15:23] <ikonia> _Oz_: what ever ones you want to install
[15:23] <bazhang> portuguese kurumin_?
[15:24] <kurumin_> portuguese
[15:24] <Flannel> _Oz_: Whatever you're looking to install.  the medibuntu ones will be in there.
[15:24] <bazhang> heh
[15:24] <Pici> !br | kurumin_
[15:24] <ubotu> kurumin_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[15:24] <MrPiracy> ikonia: how can it be? i just ran a terminal and typed cd /boot/grub and all the files were there
[15:24] <_Oz_> ok.
[15:24] <_Oz_> I see why automatix was created, I gues.
[15:24] <_Oz_> for the slightly stupider user like me.
[15:24] <ikonia> MrPiracy: how are you booting the system if you where just getting a grub prompt
[15:24] <leeping> ls
[15:24] <_Oz_> I just wanted all those nice apps installed like automatix did but I was led to believe medibuntu did that just as well.
[15:24] <leeping> Oops!
[15:24] <ikonia> _Oz_: do not use automatix
[15:24] <leeping> sorry, wrong window
[15:24] <_Oz_> ikonia: I am not.  I was told not to.
[15:24] <PriceChild> _Oz_, they will be installed when you try to play them.
[15:25] <MrPiracy> ikonia: i typed the script i have on menu.lst and it worked
[15:25] <_Oz_> but I did install automatix on an earlier install and it seemed pretty nice.  google earth popped up, etc.
[15:25] <Dusten> Hi All, SO my question is about seed files and doing an automated install. I have it all working but when it gets to the Software Selection it stops and ask me to select what software and then I hit continue and the install finishes.  Any one have an idea on how to make it so that that box does not come up or to have it so that continue is automaticly entered.
[15:25] <MrPiracy> ikonia: root(hd0,9) ... kernel /vmlinuz....
[15:25] <ikonia> MrPiracy: drop the /boot from the find command your doing
[15:26] <thrope> i am using screen out of the box on ubuntu - everythings ok in normal ssh but when I start screen the backsace key doesnt work any more
[15:26] <MrPiracy> ikonia: same thing
[15:26] <thrope> where does screen pick up its terminal settings?
[15:26] <abhi> when I boot into my ubuntu 7.10 the gconf-editor opens automatically. how can I stop it opening automatically?
[15:26] <ikonia> MrPiracy: your supposed to be doing that in a grub prompt - is that what your doing ?
[15:26] <amenado> MrPiracy-> you have booted already?
[15:26] <Flannel> _Oz_: http://www.medibuntu.org/packages.php theres a list of packages medibuntu offers, you can also get that list in synaptic, by viewing by repository
[15:27] <MrPiracy> ikonia: yes, in grub prompt
[15:27] <bazhang> _Oz_: also you will want ubuntu-restricted-extras (though I think we had this conversation earlier) ;]
[15:27] <MrPiracy> amenado: yes, i am using ubuntu now
[15:27] <strator> Jack_Sparrow : Thanks you so much! now i'm getting 170fps :D
[15:27] <MrPiracy> amenado: not from live cd, from the hd itself
[15:27] <_Oz_> we did but that was a different install, bazhang
[15:27] <_Oz_> sorry for being redundant
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> strator: great
[15:27] <_Oz_> It is hard for me to remember all this stuff.
[15:27] <amenado> MrPiracy-> how did you get the grub> prompt? you typed which?
[15:27] <bazhang> _Oz_: hehe better take notes next time or I wont answer!
[15:27] <_Oz_> heheheh
[15:28] <MrPiracy> ikonia: i just tried root(hd0,9) in grub like i did before booting and it says selected disk doesnt exist
[15:28] <_Oz_> it'd be nice if there was a document which summed up all the little things most people need to do after installing ubuntu
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang: I can see oz searching through the channel logs trying to find what he missed
[15:28] <_Oz_> instead of having to figure them out one by one
[15:28] <ikonia> MrPiracy: look at your /boot/grub/device.map
[15:28] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: haha
[15:28] <amenado> MrPiracy-> sudo mount  and it should show all your mountable partitions
[15:29] <MrPiracy> amenado: ok, when i boot into the system, i get the grub prompt instead of the menu in menu.lst, so i just typed what i have in there and it worked
[15:29] <ikonia> amenado: in a grub prompt ?
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: Good idea, please write one from the entry level users point of view..
[15:29] <_Oz_> maybe I will
[15:29] <bazhang> _Oz_: there are several--let me google one up for you ;]
[15:29] <amenado> ikonia nope, he haid he is fully booted..so I figured he can get another term and issue those
[15:29] <_Oz_> Calling me "entry level" is probably too generous, though :)
[15:29] <kurumin_> instal creative sound card   x.fi extreme music
[15:29] <maximilion> What was the keyboard for ubotu to tell me that purge line, so I can remove all Flash and get the proper 32-bit plugin?
[15:29] <_Oz_> I'm more like "sub-ground level"
[15:30] <Blinkiz> I need to troubleshoot NFS shares. How can I enable debug or something within NFS?
[15:30] <MrPiracy> amenado: how can it be? it says my sata drive is "b"  now
[15:30] <amenado> but now he is saying he is not fully booted..
[15:30] <MrPiracy> i have a sata drive and a ide drive, linux keep changing their order
[15:30] <ikonia> amenado something doesn't add up with that is being said
[15:30] <ikonia> MrPiracy: you're meant to use uuid to get around that
[15:30] <MrPiracy> amenado: it was "a" when i booted up
[15:30] <amenado> ikonia right, we are getting confused on which state he is at
[15:30] <maximilion> !flash

[15:31] <_Oz_> hey, is there a program which lets me take a "snapshot" of my exact ubuntu install and settings and would allow me to restore to that via a DVD disc image or something like that?  and not backup the packages that could be re-downloaded, just get me back to where I was setting wise so that ubuntu could restore itself to that point?

[15:31] <bertodsera> hi all :) lame question: I just deleted a good number of files from a directory, is there any way I can resurrect them?
[15:31] <amenado> MiPiracy showing the menu.lst labels is not fully booted yet..
[15:31] <ikonia> bertodsera: trash bin
[15:31] <bertodsera> no
[15:31] <bertodsera> it's a remote system
[15:32] <ikonia> bertodsera: then no
[15:32] <Flannel> bertodsera: which directory?
[15:32] <bertodsera> damn it... okay. my fault... so I'll have to upload them again
[15:32] <bertodsera> a drupal inst
[15:32] <diego> eeee
[15:32] <MrPiracy> amenado: ok, here is the thing .... the partition where /boot files are located is now "/dev/sdb10"  what do i do at grub prompt?
[15:32] <bertodsera> on debian
[15:32] <_Oz_> thanks bazhang
[15:32] <bazhang> np
[15:32] <Flannel> bertodsera: ah, yeah.  If they were part of a package, you could reinstall the package to get them back.
[15:33] <locsmif> !topic
[15:33] <bertodsera> no, they were uploaded files

[15:33] <ikonia> diego: that is not appropriate
[15:33] <amenado> MrPiracy-> let me make sure i really follow you,  you try to boot and all you get is the menu.lst labels right?  and also you have a separate partition for your /boot alone?
[15:33] <maximilion> Flannel: How do I purge Flash and Gnash, so I can do it right? :)
[15:33] <bertodsera> is going to bang on his own head in the next 40 minutes while reuploading the stuff..

[15:34] <MrPiracy> amenado: i have a /boot partition alone (which is now showing as /dev/sdb10). when i try to boot, i see just a grub prompt instead of the contents in menu.lst. So, if i type the commands I have in this menu.lst file, it boots me up no problem
[15:34] <bertodsera> silicon image 3512
[15:35] <bertodsera> not a true raid
[15:35] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: fakeraid is not "software raid"
[15:35] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow and bazhang have awoken :) Hi guys :)
[15:35] <dgjones> !cloning | _Oz_, not quite what you want, but a method of duplicating an installation
[15:35] <ubotu> _Oz_, not quite what you want, but a method of duplicating an installation: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[15:35] <ikonia> bertodsera: no - thats fake raid
[15:35] <bertodsera> it's BIOS
[15:35] <bertodsera> yes
[15:35] <bazhang> hi maximilion
[15:35] <bertodsera> it's only a BIOS
[15:35] <ikonia> bertodsera: yes, it's fake raid,
[15:35] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: What was that long line that was sure to rid Ubuntu of everything Flash?
[15:35] <locsmif> ikonia: sorry, my bad. I just have one simple Q: if gutsy gibbon is dist-upgraded to the latest version, then what is the kernel version?
[15:35] <amenado> MrPiracy -> okay, from the menu.lst labels which label did you choose?
[15:35] <bertodsera> so I cannot boot from it, can I?
[15:35] <locsmif> i.e. what is the current newest available Ubuntu kernel?
[15:35] <ikonia> locsmif: .22
[15:35] <locsmif> ikonia: thanks
[15:35] <bazhang> _Oz_: perhaps aptoncd as well
[15:36] <diego> i am a policeman
[15:36] <ikonia> bertodsera: not without a LOT of effort.
[15:36] <Jack_Sparrow> maximilion: Not sure what you mean?

[15:36] <ubotu> diego: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:36] <MrPiracy> amenado: i dont see the labels, it takes me directly to the grub prompt
[15:36] <leeping> Hey there, I'm trying to make my own Live CD and I'm wondering which script is run first in the "scripts" directory
[15:37] <leeping> Is it the "casper" file?
[15:37] <ikonia> diego: this channel is english language only and a support channel for ubuntu only.
[15:37] <MrPiracy> amenado: so i have to type what i have in the label
[15:37] <amenado> MrPiracy-> okay, what do you type in the grub prompt then?
[15:37] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: Well, Flash doesn't work. I installed Flash-restricted, didn't work. So I installed Gnash. Didn't work. Now I see that I should have installed Restricted-Extras via Synaptic first. Maybe I could just install it and it will work?
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia: after that discussion on xchat2 I went ahead and went through and compiled from xchat source.. didnt get any errors...
[15:37] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: I'd already done it when he was chatting
[15:37] <locsmif> I am trying to help a friend here with Gutsy Gibbon to get his 3945 wifi chipset running. We weren't able to on Gutsy Gibbon, but we were able to with Debian Unstable and a .23 kernel using iwlwifi..
[15:37] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: to make sure there was nothing "funny"
[15:37] <Joelito> anyone know how to use eclipse with mingw32?
[15:37] <bazhang> maximilion: uninstall flash plugin non free and then reinstall if you mean the one for firefox
[15:37] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: worked first time which is why I wanted him to log the bug and get it packaged up properly.
[15:37] <amenado> MrPiracy can you tell the exact command you type within grub prompt?
[15:37] <bertodsera> what would you suggest to make it stable? I mean, something that will take me minutes to get my system back if it breaks. I'll have this: fake-raid 400Gb, sda1 320G sda2 80Gb. Can I put just the /boot on sda2 and leave everything else on the raid?
[15:37] <locsmif> ikonia: are there any docs/steps on installing 3945 on gutsy gibbon?
[15:38] <MrPiracy> amenado: root(hd0,9) .... kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/sda15 ro splash ....
[15:38] <ikonia> locsmif: 3945 ?
[15:38] <Pici> Joelito: Have you tried asking in #eclipse ?
[15:38] <maximilion> bazhang: Yes, although I will install it for Opera as well

[15:39] <Faust-C> screensaver will start and then when i try to log back in it crashes
[15:39] <bazhang> bye diego
[15:39] <boris_> hi
[15:39] <amenado> MrPiracy  okay, now remember those what you entered in the grub prompt.  and once fully booted, modify your menu.lst, and you also must get into grub prompt again to correct grub so you dont have to retype that whole thing at boot
[15:40] <bazhang> locsmif: that card is possible the best card you could have in linux period
[15:40] <mero> hi, i'm having problems with my gnome desktop under ubuntu 7.10. programs like xchat or firefox start within 1-2seconds while gnome-terminal or nautilus require a start-up time up to 10seconds - while they start up in the gnome panel it says for example Starting Terminal but there is no CPU or IO Load.. it seems something is delaying/blocking the startup of the program and as i said it only happens with the gnome programs.. any ideas?
[15:40] <Faust-C> screensaver locks system up anyone else experiencing this
[15:40] <bertodsera> what would you suggest to make it stable? I mean, something that will take me minutes to get my system back if it breaks. I'll have this: fake-raid 400Gb, sda1 320G sda2 80Gb. Can I put just the /boot on sda2 and leave everything else on the raid? and if it breaks, can I easily reinstall the /boot on another disk to have my system back?
[15:40] <Faust-C> screensaver will start and then when i try to log back in it crashes
[15:40] <locsmif> bazhang: you mean because of the licensing?
[15:40] <pluffsy> hi
[15:40] <boris_> ive got ubuntu ultimate, though i believe it isnt important. the thing is - it sets wrong time for my timezone, and when i manually edit it, sudo says "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 11 17:17:12 2008"
[15:40] <amenado> MrPiracy you are fully booted now..go and modify your menu.lst  and if you like you can paste it in pastebin..
[15:40] <MrPiracy> amenado: i am already at this stage now, i wanna run setup (hd0,9) and it says selected disk does not exist
[15:40] <locsmif> bazhang: atheros is not bad either though
[15:40] <pluffsy> do you know of any good easy to use software for  using a ubuntu server as a small webhosting service?
[15:41] <Faust-C> boris_, ntp-date
[15:41] <locsmif> okay, rebooting this laptop would be best then
[15:41] <kpearce> Hi, I'm trying to use evolution on the latest ubuntu. Evolution freezes and has to be killed every time it tries to render a certain email, and currently it is trying to render that email whenever I start it up. I can't find in my .evolution directory where it is storing what message I was last looking at. How can I get it not start up with that email?
[15:41] <bazhang> locsmif: because of the support, especailly in ubuntu--I have that precise card and it is a dream ;]
[15:41] <amenado> MrPiracy okay so  you have issued sudo grub and got the grub prompt?
[15:41] <locsmif> however it didn't seem to work out of the box
[15:41] <locsmif> i must have done something wrong
[15:41] <Kuwanger> ikonia: I'm going to take your advice.  I'm going to search through launchpad.  Perhaps then I can figure out the cause of all the bugs I've been experiencing. :/
[15:41] <MrPiracy> amenado: ops, not sudo, just grub
[15:41] <bazhang> locsmif: you need to enable the restricted drivers, was this the gutsy live cd?
[15:41] <amenado> MrPiracy you must be root to issue grub
[15:42] <amenado> MrPiracy you must be root to issue grub to change those parameters..
[15:42] <boris_> Faust-C: whats with ntp-date ? it says command not found. sudo insists on that error.
[15:42] <locsmif> bazhang: yep, ok
[15:42] <bazhang> locsmif: also be sure the toggle switch on the laptop is switched to on--a mistake I made earlly on haha
[15:42] <amenado> MrPiracy-> you may get the grub prompt but not able to change things if as regular user
[15:42] <Faust-C> boris_, means your date isnt correct somewhere
[15:42] <locsmif> bazhang: heh heh
[15:42] <boris_> Faust-C: so how do i correct it ?
[15:42] <Faust-C> gnome-screen saver crashes/locks up system
[15:42] <locsmif> bazhang: i'm going to have a look then ;)
[15:43] <MrPiracy> amenado: dang, it said (hd1,14) now. i found it
[15:43] <locsmif> bbl, reboo
[15:43] <locsmif> reboot*
[15:43] <Faust-C> boris_, ntp-date is the way i do, install ntp or whatever its called
[15:43] <MrPiracy> amenado: am going to reboot now, i'll be back if anything goes wrong
[15:43] <amenado> MrPiracy-> darn, how many partitions do you really have?

[15:43] <Faust-C> gnome-screen saver crashes/locks up system, anyone else having this issue
[15:43] <Siegel> 7i was wondering if7 anyone could help me
[15:43] <amenado> MrPiracy you have done the root (hdx,y) and set (hdx)  stuff?
[15:43] <MrPiracy> amenado: i have several .... vista ... xp ...  Sounds like a bad keyboard.
[15:45] <Siegel> 7777no i pugged out the key7board and it still happens
[15:45] <amenado> MrPiracy nothing wrong with having /boot in a different partition, just make sure it points there in your menu.lst
[15:46] <MrPiracy> amenado: ok, i'll try to boot now and see what happens
[15:46] <amenado> and your device.map points accordingly
[15:46] <cannonball> Siegel: bad keyboard ports happen on occassion too.  Is it a USB keyboard or a PS2 keyboard.
[15:46] <Siegel> 77777777ps2
[15:46] <pezz_> gnnnfff
[15:46] <Siegel> 77it doesnt happen in 7windoze
[15:46] <MrPiracy> amenado: my device.map says (hd0)	/dev/sda (hd1)	/dev/sdb
[15:47] <MrPiracy> amenado: not much help, is it?
[15:47] <cannonball> It looks like it just prints a 7 every few seconds.  I suspect some app is messing with your console.
[15:47]  * amenado suspects if MrPiracy gets hold of virtual box or vmware, he'll load it up with different os'es
[15:47] <Vram> Hi. How can I make a .wav be smaller but still preserve it's audio quality ?
[15:47] <cannonball> I somebody devious.
[15:47] <cannonball> Or somebody devious.
[15:47] <amenado> MrPiracy right so your device.map is not matching
[15:47] <shawnselig29> hi guys
[15:47] <shawnselig29> quick question

[15:48] <amenado> MrPiracy-> i thought you said you found your /boot in hda14 ?
[15:48] <MrPiracy> amenado: all these os'es are native, vmware will take me to WIN98, ME, 95 and 3.11 hehehhehe
[15:48] <shawnselig29> would i ahev os slector active while i install ubuntu?
[15:49] <MrPiracy> amenado:  sorry, hdb15 .... linux keep changing it
[15:49] <Siegel><PHONE_NUMBER>7do ony of you have7 any idea what i could do to 7find the root of the probl7em?
[15:49] <AsH_> Vram: I don't think you can convert it to anything that a mobile phone supports without loosing quality
[15:49] <amenado> MrPiracy-> am glad you're having a ball with those other os'es...next time you assist others in their needs..hehe
[15:50] <amenado> MrPiracy-> and that does not match your device.map contents.. hdb15  so modify accordingly

[15:53] <amenado> encrypt128bit-> one time or all the time when you install?

[15:59] <flakrat__> how do I mount a samba share each time a specific user logs in (i.e. like automatically connecting a mapped network drive in Windows)? is their a built in utility or do I need to script it?
[15:59] <MrPiracy> amenado: yup, doing that since DOS
[15:59] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: fake raid is the windows bios on software driver trick, software raid is basiclly what linux provides within the kernel (I'll expand on that if you want)

[16:00] <rance> hey guys, I need some ubuntu advice, I'm a kubuntu user because I like kde (its a personal thing) but I've got a project that I think can be done with python, and since I need the project to be cross OS compatiable I'm leaning to pygtk to make the gui, I have an idea that the app itself should be able to run on a web server and make the data accessible via web browser and if you run it on a pc give the gui.  If anyone has done something similar, w

[16:01] <locsmif> error output at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55608/
[16:01] <amenado> MrPiracy share it, with tutorial i hope..hehe
[16:02] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: dmraid is a driver to use bios raid (fakeraid) using device mapper
[16:02] <_SiLENT_> how do we denote "not even one occurrence of lalala" in regular expressions?
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> rance: A question better asked in the offtopic room...
[16:02] <zynx> i got a little problem
[16:02] <locsmif> _SiLENT_: that's very difficult to achieve
[16:02] <cLean`sl33p> Is their much differnce between Kubuntu with GNOME and UBUNTU ??
[16:02] <MrPiracy> amenado: there a really good tutorial to do that, i have it on my favorites on the other partition ;)
[16:02] <zynx> i cant get anything using apt-get
[16:02] <_SiLENT_> locsmif: seriously?
[16:02] <rance> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:02] <Pici> zynx: do you get an error?
[16:03] <roote> erUSUL: do you know how to install dmraid during install? using the ubuntu server version?
[16:03] <amenado> MrPiracy-> get me the link, and I'll bookmark it too for references
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: Do you need to install from alternate to get that "dmraid" going
[16:03] <zynx> E: Unable to fetch some archives, try running apt-get update or apt-get --fix-missing.
[16:03] <locsmif> _SiLENT_: there are some possibilities
[16:03] <MrPiracy> amenado: gimme ur email address and i'll do it
[16:03] <_SiLENT_> locsmif: like?
[16:03] <mahmoud2> cLean`sl33p: No, there is not any difference (Ubuntu with GNOME and KDE is exactly Kubuntu with KDE and GNOME) ..
[16:03] <erUSUL> roote: server instalation does not have dmraid aviable?
[16:03] <locsmif> _SiLENT_: perl regular expressions do have some facilities

[16:03] <Bodsda> hey guys, when i "fullscreen" a youtube video it opens up npviewer.bin, is this normal?
[16:03] <locsmif> but those are no regex operators

[16:04] <u007-1> hi, i'm unable to open vcd with both gstreamer nor xine
[16:04] <_SiLENT_> I needed regex
[16:04] <_SiLENT_> it is not perl, ok then
[16:04] <locsmif> _SiLENT_: perl has zero width negative lookahead and lookbehind
[16:04] <roote> erUSUL: and all the howtos say to use ubuntu desktop and install the dmraid package
[16:04] <zynx> any reason why i get that err?
[16:04] <amenado> MrPiracy-> am not registered, so i hope the pm went through
[16:04] <zynx> error*

[16:06] <bigdog> Anyone running Gutsy with an ATI R600 card?

[16:09] <Wisteso> When the livecd doesn't have an active internet connection it fails to access the security updates on a new install. it said something about commenting out a few lines in a repository file...  do i need to undo that now?

[16:10] <merowinger> i have a problem with my gnome under ubuntu gutsy. if i'm not connected to a network (cable or wireless) program starting up gnome-terminal (and all other programs) takes like 1-2 sec but if i am connected to a network starting a gnome terminal or other programs take approximatly 10 seconds to load whereas in the first 9 seconds it does notingh (blocking somehow, cpu load is zero) and in the last second it actually loads it..
[16:10] <bazhang> nonya_: answer my question then ;]
[16:11] <ikonia> shishirm1: correct
[16:11] <sunlifter> Hello
[16:11] <cheesypieces> hi guys, does anyone have a suggestion as to why rythmbox won't let me install the uPNP plugin?
[16:11] <tribaldata> Firefox refuse to start on X11, then if i go in konsole and sudo it i get this error : Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by serverXlib: No protocol specified
[16:11] <tribaldata> Anyone could lend me a hand ?
[16:12] <ikonia> tribaldata: why are you launcing it as root
[16:12] <sunlifter> I have an problem, i have updated mine Ubuntu 7.04 with an update manager. After that I have lost any sound. Where the problem could be ?
[16:12] <Ackdar> I seem to be having network problems on Ubuntu... how am I supposed to connect to the internet with my modem? I entered all the needed info, including DNS, but it won't dial. Also, I am not able to access my router over ethernet. >_<
[16:13] <writeout> is my ltsp dhcp invalid? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55609/ i get the PXE-E32 tftp open timeout error on clients
[16:13] <tribaldata> just to try to get it going if i run it as my user or any user i just blink once then nothing
[16:14] <ikonia> tribaldata: forget running it as root. Open a terminal as a non-privileged user and type "firefox"
[16:14] <cheesypieces> guys, whats the best way to stream media to my ps3 from ubuntu?
[16:14] <ikonia> cheesypieces: upnp
[16:14] <tribaldata> done and nothing
[16:14] <ikonia> tribaldata: nothing launched, what about the command prompt, anything out of that
[16:15] <cheesypieces> ikonia, i've tried the upnp plugin in rythmbox but it wouldn't let me install it
[16:15] <cheesypieces> so i'm looking for alternatives
[16:15] <tribaldata> ikonia: : tribaldata@tribaldata:/usr/lib/firefox$ firefoxtribaldata@tribaldata:/usr/lib/firefox$
[16:15] <ikonia> cheesypieces: thats a different issue.
[16:15] <ikonia> tribaldata: "which firefox"
[16:15] <tribaldata> ikonia: huh ?
[16:15] <ikonia> tribaldata: type that
[16:15] <fagina|sleep> euhm guys.. I'm having some black screen problems with 7.10
[16:16] <fagina|sleep> I managed to install (removed quiet and added nosplash)
[16:16] <fagina|sleep> but now when tryingto boot from the hd
[16:16] <fagina|sleep> it just goes blank again :(
[16:16] <tribaldata> ikonia: /usr/bin/firefox
[16:16] <Ackdar> fagina|sleep, have you tried waiting
[16:16] <ikonia> tribaldata: so as a nonprivileged user do "/usr/bin/firefox"
[16:16] <Ackdar> I have the same problem
[16:16] <cheesypieces> ikonia, do you have any ideas other than using rythmbox? i'm not sure what you mean by just 'upnp'
[16:17] <fagina|sleep> Ackdar to be honest, no :s
[16:17] <ikonia> cheesypieces: any software that streams via upnp will be fine
[16:17] <fagina|sleep> I tried ctrl+alt+del to reboot and it didn't even beep..
[16:17] <Ackdar> the boot screen doesn't work well in gutsy in my experience
[16:17] <Ackdar> just wait a couple minutes
[16:17] <cheesypieces> ikonia, do you have any suggestions?
[16:17] <fagina|sleep> Ackdar hmm okay
[16:17] <Ackdar> it should go straight to login
[16:17] <ikonia> cheesypieces: I use mythtv without issue, but thats over kill
[16:17] <writeout> how do i remove all the configs, and all files that installs with ltsp package?
[16:17] <writeout> so i can do a "freshinstall"
[16:17] <fagina|sleep> Ackdar okay, i'll try that, thanks
[16:17] <ikonia> writeout: use the remove option in synaptic
[16:18] <tribaldata> ikonia: yeah but this doesn't work, it is not starting anything i try doing this then ps -aux | grep firefox and grep come back with nothing
[16:18] <Ackdar> no problem :D
[16:18] <writeout> ikonia: will all the configs be removed?
[16:18] <ikonia> tribaldata: you won't find anything with ps if it's not launching
[16:18] <leeping> Jack_Sparrow: I've successfully added the module for my network card to the ubuntu live CD!
[16:18] <leeping> But there's still one more problem
[16:18] <ikonia> tribaldata: have you tried firefix-debug or firefox-safe
[16:18] <leeping> The NFSmount won't work
[16:18] <cheesypieces> ikonia, i'll try mythtv, thanks
[16:18] <Ackdar> writeout, the synaptic should temove any files associated with that package
[16:18] <leeping> I think it's a problem with the script
[16:18] <tribaldata> ikonia: No not yet going yo right now
[16:18] <Ackdar> remove*

[16:20] <CreativeEmbassy> and I can't find a setting for it
[16:20] <CreativeEmbassy> it can't connect to the net
[16:20] <Ackdar> writeout, any way you can manually delete them, or do you not know which config files go with what?

[16:25] <_ubuxx_> i have a question.
[16:25] <ikonia> uhhhhh never used one of them. Check if it supports WPA/WEP/WPA2 or what ever in linux
[16:25] <rama_8086> how to create a directory through programming
[16:25] <ikonia> rama_8086: what language
[16:25] <neverblue> _ubuxx_, most do, but we usually just state the question, not state that we do have a question :D
[16:25] <_ubuxx_> how can you enable view of people on channel?
[16:25] <rama_8086> c language
[16:25] <flakrat__> in /etc/ntp.conf, if I want to add multiple time servers, do I add multiple "server time.mydom.com" lines, or add both time servers to the same line, space separated?
[16:25] <rama_8086> ikonia, c lang
[16:25] <_ubuxx_> in xchat
[16:25] <neverblue> _ubuxx_, what IRC client are you using ?
[16:25] <_ubuxx_> for gnome
[16:25] <ikonia> rama_8086: search the web, there are plenty of introductions to C
[16:25] <neopsyche> hello my isntallation is turck on configureing apt at 40 perscent .. will it hurt the installation if i restart now by pwoer et off?
[16:25] <AsH_> flakrat: more lines
[16:25] <neverblue> _ubuxx_, sudo aptitude install xchat
[16:25] <flakrat__> AsH_, thanks
[16:26] <ikonia> flakrat__: seperate lines
[16:26] <neopsyche> stuck at configuring apt on 40 percent
[16:26] <_ubuxx_> i use xchat gnome
[16:26] <ikonia> AsH_: sorry, didn't see you respond
[16:26] <roddersg> can someone tell me the cmd to run to make ubuntu install the different server packages (it's menu driven)
[16:26] <rama_8086> ikonia, i want to create in linux c programming
[16:26] <flakrat__> ikonia, thanks also :-)
[16:26] <lmg> hi there! question please. after visudo, allowing users of the 'sudo' group to use it without a password and adding my user to this group. sudo still prompts for a pass. `visudo` ran nano though. any pointers?
[16:26] <ikonia> roddersg: what ? what do you want to install ?
[16:26] <Learning-Ubuntu> Question . Can I install an application to any location I want. provided its a valid partition ? I just wanted to confirm if it was possible at all or do all apps just go into the / partition?
[16:26] <neverblue> _ubuxx_, use the xchat, not xchat-gnome
[16:26] <ikonia> rama_8086: the interenet has many guides on how to program in C - this channel is not for programming help
[16:26] <neopsyche> ikonia: my installation is stuck at 40 percent configuring apt.. will it be bad if i restart the pc?
[16:26] <ikonia> neopsyche better if you didn't
[16:26] <rama_8086> ikonia, i searched a lot but i didn't get
[16:26] <ikonia> neopsyche: use another terminal and kill the process and then try to pick it up again
[16:27] <roddersg> I can't remember the name - it comes up when ubuntu server installs and allows you to select multiple tasks (in text)
[16:27] <ikonia> rama_8086: keep looking then, this channel is not for C help
[16:27] <ethan961> why is xchat better than xchat-gnome?
[16:27] <ikonia> roddersg: LAMP ?
[16:27] <ikonia> ethan961: personal opinion
[16:27] <roddersg> rats my memory is going
[16:27] <ikonia> ethan961: try both
[16:27] <neopsyche> ikonia: how di i kill the process from terminal?
[16:27] <ethan961> ok
[16:27] <ikonia> neopsyche: kill -11 pid
[16:27] <darkhamm> qualcuno di voi usa filezilla?
[16:27] <roddersg> ikonia; allows you to select LAMP, ssh, dns, printers etc.  (I'm getting lazy)
[16:27] <ethan961> using *-gnome atm, will try plain xchat
[16:27] <erUSUL> !it | darkhamm
[16:27] <ikonia> roddersg: what do you want to install then ?
[16:27] <ubotu> darkhamm: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[16:28] <roddersg> something slect
[16:28] <neopsyche> ikonia .. will that kill th ecurrrnet running process?
[16:28] <roddersg> something select
[16:28] <roddersg> or something like that
[16:28] <neopsyche> will it then go on further in the instaolll ikonia?
[16:28] <ikonia> neopsyche: it will kill the process with the matching pid
[16:28] <ikonia> neopsyche: no - restart the update
[16:28] <_ubuxx_> can ANYBODY help me?
[16:28] <ikonia> roddersg: what servers do you want to install
[16:28] <neopsyche> ikonia: so configuring apt is -11/?
[16:28] <ikonia>  neopsyche ??? no
[16:28] <neopsyche> oh
[16:28] <ikonia> neopsyche: ps -ef | grep apt get the pid then kill -11 $pid
[16:29] <neopsyche> ikonia. i dont know aht what the -11 is for?
[16:29] <roddersg> ikonia: I know the different packages, what I need to know is the name of the application that ubuntu-install brings up in the text mode
[16:29] <ikonia> roddersg: I thought that was just a server install package on the cd., I don't know if it exists outside the repo
[16:29] <whyx> salve
[16:29] <_ubuxx_> hellooo?
[16:29] <ikonia> _ubuxx_: what ?
[16:29] <ikonia> _ubuxx_: just wait for aresponse and stop asking every 10 seconds
[16:29] <roddersg> it does, someone answered the question here, was supposed to write it down
[16:29] <simp_lg> Hi all! What is the command to search for files by their content?
[16:30] <ikonia> roddersg: #ubuntu-server may have a the answer
[16:30] <roddersg> _ubuxx: just ask your question, and someone will answer
[16:30] <ikonia> roddersg: he's asked 10 times and wants an answer now
[16:30] <neverblue> _ubuxx_, in case you missed it, I replied to you numerous times, take the time to scroll back up
[16:31] <noodlesgc> simp_lg just go to Places->Search then click on the select more options pane and add a filter "contains the text:"
[16:31] <bSON> where does apport save the apps for which it shouldn't show any bug reporting dialogs for?
[16:31] <bSON> s/for//
[16:31] <Learning-Ubuntu> Anyone here could confirm if I can install an application to any location or does Ubuntu limit the amount of applications I have to the size of my primary partition?
[16:31] <ikonia> Learning-Ubuntu: ubuntu packages have a pre-defined installation path for files
[16:31] <ikonia> Learning-Ubuntu: you are only limited via free space
[16:31] <simp_lg> noodlesgc, I know about that.. But I need console command.
[16:31] <ikonia> simp_lg: grep
[16:32] <Learning-Ubuntu> ikonia, Freespace available on my Primary Partition?
[16:32] <noodlesgc> simp_lg: cat | grep
[16:32] <ikonia> Learning-Ubuntu: free space availavle where it wants to install
[16:32] <Learning-Ubuntu> ikonia, So I could install an application to my Home directory if it had its own partition?
[16:32] <ikonia> Learning-Ubuntu:  no - the packages have a pre-defined installation path
[16:33] <Learning-Ubuntu> ikonia, But If I needed to I could change that?
[16:33] <ikonia> Learning-Ubuntu: no
[16:33] <ethan961> ikonia, plain xchat really is better
[16:33] <_ubuxx_> so, can i or cant i enable users view like in xchat original (i use xchat gnome irc)
[16:33] <ikonia> ethan961: thats your opinion
[16:34] <roddersg> Learning-ubuntu: well, you could get the individual un-compiled packages (source) and compile them yourself and run it in your homespace
[16:34] <ikonia> ethan961: as I said, it's personal opinion
[16:34] <ethan961> yeah, now
[16:34] <noodlesgc> Learning-Ubuntu here you go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205337
[16:34] <Learning-Ubuntu> ikonia, :( so let me see if I understand this right. if I have a root partition of 10 GB I can install as much applications as long as the partition doesnt become full?
[16:34] <ikonia> roddersg: be realistic
[16:34] <ikonia> Learning-Ubuntu: correct
[16:34] <roddersg> ikonia - no realistic atm
[16:34] <Learning-Ubuntu> ikonia, ty. noodlesgc Ill check that out thanks
[16:34] <Ackdar> once again, so the newly joining can see it... I seem to be having network problems on Ubuntu... how am I supposed to connect to the internet with my modem? I entered all the needed info, including DNS, but it won't dial. Also, I am not able to access my router over ethernet. >_<
[16:34] <roddersg> LU: you could add another hard disk and then point your mount point there
[16:35] <noodlesgc> Ackdar do you have hsfmodem installed?
[16:35] <Learning-Ubuntu> roddersg, Hmm but if its all being installed to a predetermined point than would that work?
[16:35] <Ackdar> noodlesgc, I used the restricted driver that was available on installation of ubuntu
[16:36] <neverblue> _ubuxx_, there is a button to press in the bottom right hand corner
[16:36] <slayermcc> learning-ubuntu 512mo swap , 2/3 of 10 go for root (ext3) , and the 1/3 left of 10Go as /home (ext3)
[16:36] <roddersg> you could add a new hard disk, format it then copy your files over e.g. /var, then sudo mount the partition
[16:36] <nixnoob> Learning-Ubuntu, obviously compiling from source and mounting new partitions are beyond the scope of your understanding I suggest you listen to ikonia.
[16:36] <neverblue> _ubuxx_, but as you clearly are ignoring my posts, ill let you know one more time, use xchat not xchat-gnome
[16:36] <roddersg> nixnoob - agreed
[16:36] <Learning-Ubuntu> slayermcc, Thank you. nixnoob Yes I guess it is. I was just clearign a doubt.
[16:37] <slayermcc> you could add /boot of 100mo ext2
[16:37] <noodlesgc> Ackdar, Ive never used my modem before so I dont know how, but Ive heard that gnome-ppp helps
[16:37] <slayermcc> if you plan to do a dual-boot
[16:37] <Ackdar> I wasn't aware that existed >_<
[16:37] <Jack_Sparrow> noodlesgc: Is this a dial-up modem and is it a hardware modem...
[16:38] <slayermcc> know that /home is your backup
[16:38] <noodlesgc> Jack_Sparrow, I have no idea, ask Ackdar
[16:38] <nixnoob> noodlesgc, wvdial ?
[16:38] <Ackdar> it's a softmodem
[16:38] <slayermcc> if you use windows also you could make an fat32 partition to share
[16:38] <Ackdar> why is everyone talking tyo noodlesgc?
[16:38] <nixnoob> noodlesgc, o sorry that was meant for ackdar
[16:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Ackdar:  Is this a dial-up modem and is it a hardware modem...
[16:39] <tez> so I'm having trouble, GRUB says Error 21, which I could fix if I could just get to the grub menu. is there any way to do this?
[16:39] <noodlesgc> yeah i was wondering that myself
[16:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !who
[16:39] <Ackdar> Jack_Sparrow, it's a softmodem
[16:39] <ubotu> As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[16:39] <Gigamo> !tab
[16:39] <roddersg> ubotu - is there a fast way of doing that in xchat?
[16:39] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[16:40] <dru> hello, would someone like to tell me why my firefox freezes after every flash video
[16:40] <Ackdar> roddersg, funny how you're talking to a bot -_-
[16:40] <noodlesgc> tez, you could boot off a cd  and select recovery mode.
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Ackdar: Sorry, never saw the point in those, such a pain..
[16:40] <tez> noodlesgc: it doesn't have a cd drive that works.. well
[16:40] <DRebellion> dru, how did you install flash?
[16:40] <roddersg> Ackdar, you can tell I'm not in the right frame of mind
[16:40] <dru> i did the prompt firefox gave me drebellion
[16:40] <genii> If I dd an md device to a file it should just be able to mount the usual way, yes? eg: sudo mount -o loop filename.img /mountplace        Or no?
[16:40] <cheesypieces> hi guys, anyone know how i add videos/music to mythtv?
[16:40] <DRebellion> dru, did you install gnash or adobe flash?
[16:41] <tez> noodlesgc: i got to the grub menu once when I had the cd rom plugged in and it was recognized but y ou cant boot off of it, since it has two cdroms im not sure which one
[16:41] <dru> adobe flash
[16:41] <DRebellion> genii, yep
[16:41] <tez> anyway, this is on a different computer, obviously
[16:41] <tez> so i'll be right back, going to try to get this to work
[16:41] <genii> DRebellion: OK, thanks
[16:41] <DRebellion> dru, so the flash doesn't work at all, or is slow/buggy?
[16:41] <noodlesgc> tez ok. If you somehow boot off a cd or maybe even a usb flash disk, you could probably fix grub
[16:42] <Ackdar> nixnoob, I've always gotten by using System > Administration > Network and activated the modem from there. However, the network dialog has been changed in Gutsy
[16:42] <DRebellion> genii, you could have just tried it ;)
[16:42] <Ackdar> fagina|sleep, how'd that work?
[16:42] <fagina|sleep> not :(
[16:42] <dru> drebellion: oh it works, but after every 3rd or 4th vid i watch on *you tube break ... etc*  my firefox crashes, i knew this was a problem on the old version of ubuntu ... but to my understanding they fixed that problem
[16:42] <Ackdar> O_O
[16:42] <fagina|sleep> it just keeps blank Ackdar
[16:42] <genii> DRebellion: Don't want to mess up the raid mbrs of the array if it fails
[16:43] <Ackdar> fagina|sleep, how far does it get into boot?
[16:43] <tomtt> has anybody managed to successfully a recent version of freemind (0.9.0) on ubuntu?
[16:43] <fagina|sleep> it's shows 2 lines of messages and that's it
[16:43] <rama_8086> do u know any c programming channel
[16:43] <Ackdar> that's what I get
[16:43] <nixnoob> Ackdar, if your modem is recognized by ubuntu then System > Administration > Network shoudl list it...
[16:43] <DRebellion> rama_8086, #c
[16:43] <cheesypieces> hi guys, anyone know how i add videos/music to mythtv?
[16:43] <Ackdar> but after 5 mins or so, the login screen appears
[16:43] <roddersg> anyone here using a Brothr HL-1440, I need the cupsd drivers (the one from foomatic doesn't work)
[16:43] <Ackdar> nixnoob, it is listed
[16:44] <Ackdar> nixnoob, I just can't activate it from there anymore
[16:44] <fagina|sleep> hmm Ackdar, whatever causes it, I don't want to wait 5 minutes tobe able to launch ubuntu :)
[16:44] <Ackdar> fagina|sleep, I know
[16:44] <RoboCop> when will the next version of *buntu going to release ?
[16:44] <nixnoob> Ackdar, is the checkbox next to it checked, empty or have a minus?
[16:44] <fagina|sleep> and it seems a lot of people have probs with black screens on 7.10
[16:44] <Ackdar> I wish I could actually see the processes starting up

[16:45] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: How did you install it
[16:45] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: apt-get
[16:45] <davey1> when i have to install brother drivers i used the ones from there site at this link http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html
[16:46] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: apt-get remove xxxxxx
[16:46] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: no.
[16:46] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: apt-get does not remove configs.
[16:47] <nixnoob> Ackdar, why don't you double click your modem in the list there and check that the phone number and account info is there, also check that modem port is correct and that all the options in the options tab are checked... then hit ok
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: Aptitude is better at removing all the dep... but it had to be installed with it in the first place if I remember correectly
[16:47] <Pici> writeout: apt-get remove --purge somepackage
[16:47] <noodlesgc> davey1 WOW thanks, i have a brother printer and couldn't get it working.
[16:47] <Ackdar> nixnoob, I spent all night doing that
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: is purge what you want
[16:47] <writeout> Pici: yes, purge removes more, but not everything, like the configs for example
[16:47] <Pici> writeout: Purge removes configs in /etc/
[16:47] <writeout> however i have not installed it with aptitude
[16:47] <roddersg> davey1 - I don't want to install the lpr drivers, it hangs
[16:47] <fagina|sleep> hmma Ackdar, it seems I didn't do update-grub after updating the menu.lst
[16:48] <writeout> Pici: why is the configs still there then?
[16:48] <noodlesgc> writeout you'll have to do something like rm -R /home/yourname/.packagename
[16:48] <Ackdar> fagina|sleep, then what's my problem with the boot screen
[16:48] <Tazbobu> How do you change the password requirement for ubuntu?  Before I had it set so I could use 5 characters for user password but I can't remember where to change it
[16:48] <Pici> writeout: Wheres 'here'?
[16:48] <Ackdar> I got past grub, got 2 lines, a blank screen, and nothing until login
[16:48] <omazone> When I type: sudo ifconfif ethX, I get this error: "ethX: error fetching interface information: Device not found"
[16:48] <fagina|sleep> Ackdar i have no idea man :s sucky blank screen
[16:49] <fagina|sleep> Ackdar have you got a floppy drive on your system ?
[16:49] <omazone> ifconfig**
[16:49] <writeout> i dont want to remove everything manually. if apt-get can install a program, someoen in the linuxcommuntiy would have thought that i want to remove everything some day.
[16:49] <DRebellion> omazone, replace X with a number ;)
[16:49] <Ackdar> fagina|sleep, no
[16:49] <omazone> oh, okay. Thanks! :)
[16:49] <writeout> the config are located in /etc
[16:49] <fagina|sleep> me neither.. and while installing, it paused for a few minutes on that thing I noticed
[16:49] <krim> 'aptitude purge package' doesn't remove everything does it? I think I've done that and reinstalled something and had everything set up just like it was before.
[16:49] <fagina|sleep> something about fd0 (floppy drive)
[16:50] <writeout> dont i need to install the package through aptitude to remove it with aptitude?
[16:50] <myIRC> themonk
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> krim: But was it installed with aptitude and not apt-get?
[16:50] <RoboCop> when will the next version of *buntu going to release ?
[16:50] <Ackdar> writeout, probably not
[16:50] <Pici> writeout: No, they all use apt.
[16:50] <krim> Jack_Sparrow: it was installed with aptitude and deleted with aptitude

[16:51] <tez> hi. I'm not sure if its a grub error or ubuntu, but I'm just starting ubuntu server [recovery mode] and it gets stuck at Starting up... after that. Nothing at all, no errors, shows
[16:51] <ttkehakqoa> hi?
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> krim: Interesting... I thought that would remove everything...
[16:51] <tez> can anyone see me?
[16:51] <Ackdar> tez, no
[16:51] <Pici> tez: yes, we can.
[16:51] <nixnoob> Ackdar, try using wvdial , just gksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf enter your information there and do sudo wvdial
[16:51] <krim> Jack_Sparrow: It was Pidgin. After reinstalling my contacts and accounts were there just like before.

[16:53] <Hammer89> how do I set up a keyboard shortcut to open a specific program?
[16:53] <roddersg> davey1, if you follow the discussions elsewhere, you have to install the lpr driver first and then the cupswrapper
[16:54] <krim> Jack_Sparrow: Just tried purge and then install again to make sure I hadn't imagined the whole thing and yeah, everything in /home/user/.purple was still there.
[16:54] <nixnoob> hey whats that package that gives random messages and ascii art in console when you open a console?
[16:54] <roddersg> davey1, in a previous installation, it screwed up my system because I did not have lpr installed
[16:54] <Pici> krim: Purge does not remove per-user configs.

[16:56] <Jonathan_L> http://pastebin.org/19058 - My Atheros AR5006EG WLAN card won't connect to my router. I can find the router (and a few others, including signal strength) in the network manager, and I can change the settings for it. I ave set the right WPA key, but it won't help
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55614/
[16:56] <nixnoob> pepperjack, how do i set it up?
[16:56] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: thanks!

[16:57] <davey1> sorry roddersg i came in halfway through the discussion & did not realise, i had  followed the instructions provided by brother somewhere for installing them I did however end up with 2 drivers to choose from if i recollect correctly
[16:57] <Tkitti> Hi, I'm having trouble with my battery bar. It was working when I first installed Xubuntu but now it has totally disappeared and the same goes for the volume controls. I tried re adding them but it does nothing at all. Can some one help me with my situation?
[16:57] <Jonathan_L> So.... My WLAN card? Does anybody know what to do?
[16:58] <sipior> Jonathan_L:  can others connect? what about under windows?
[16:58] <Jonathan_L> I can connect form Vista
[16:58] <genii> Jonathan_L: Do you have wpasupplicant installed?
[16:58] <Jonathan_L> Don't know
[16:58] <Jonathan_L> How to check quickly?
[16:58] <genii> Jonathan_L: apt-cache policy wpasupplicant
[16:59] <ePax> Jonathan_L: Tiy have to installl madwifi drivers or ndiswrapper. Search in ubuntuforums.org

[16:59] <devilsreject> hey guys
[16:59] <Jonathan_L> "Installerad: 0.6.0+0.5.8-0ubuntu1"
[16:59] <nixnoob> pepperjack, are you there?  can you tell me how to set it up so that the cow delivers the fortune?
[16:59] <roddersg> davey1, yes I did it the same way and got screwed.  After that ubuntu was a bit faulty
[16:59] <Jonathan_L> "Installed"
[16:59] <pepperjack> nixnoob: id assume there is a starup package for it but manually i suppose you could add it to the bootmisc.sh script like gksu /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh  and scroll down to the motd line and like change the last to [ -f /etc/motd.tail ] && cat /etc/motd.tail && cowsay $(fortune) >> /var/run/motd or something  im sure there is an easy package for it though
[17:00] <sipior> Jonathan_L: also, please pastebin the output of "/sbin/route -n" and /sbin/ifconfig.
[17:00] <devilsreject> quick question, i just need to know exactly what kind of ram my pc has is there anything in ubuntu that will tell me this???
[17:00] <Jonathan_L> ePax: I just made Ubuntu find tha caard this morning
[17:00] <Jonathan_L> sipior: Ok. Didyou read what I posted before?
[17:00] <sipior> Jonathan_L: last, does the card work sans WPA?
[17:00] <roddersg> !foomatic
[17:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about foomatic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:00] <Jonathan_L> It works perfectly in Vista
[17:00] <pepperjack> nixnoob: that wont be dynamic though
[17:01] <sillyxone> hi, anybody updated to Wicd 1.4.1 today? the wireless list cannot be clicked anymore
[17:01] <Milos_SD> hi all. Is "Magic key" (ALT+SysRQ) enabled in Ubuntu Gutsy?
[17:01] <Jonathan_L> sipior: Works perfect in Vista
[17:01] <sipior> Jonathan_L: only read back to 5.56pm CET
[17:01] <nixnoob> pepperjack, thats rediculously and unnecessarily complicated there must be an easier way
[17:01] <devilsreject> Jonathan_L [17:01] <Jonathan_L> What is that in GMT+1?
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Jonathan_L: Sometimes it helps identify the problem if you turn off wpa and try to connect without all that then add wpa
[17:01] <Pici> devilsreject: calm down.
[17:01] <sipior> Jonathan_L: just so
[17:01] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: how do I get it to use my windows key? (like... for the control key you type <ctl>... what would I use for the win key?)
[17:01] <Jonathan_L> Then my sister will hate me...
[17:01] <Jonathan_L> She have a Vista laptop
[17:01] <sipior> Jonathan_L: could you pastebin the data i mentioned earlier?
[17:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: It is not called a windows key.. it is called the SUPER key, and I dont know if that will work in there.
[17:02] <parkinm> Hello all: I have an old dell p4/1gb ram pc - if I install ubuntu on it do i have to find any kind of drivers for it or will it work out of the box so to speak?
[17:02] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: Ah... okay
[17:02] <Jonathan_L> She thinks that internet working on her Vista laptop is more important than internet working in Ubuntu on my laptop
[17:02] <devilsreject> pici - where does ubuntu tell me exactly what type of ram i have?
[17:02] <pepperjack> nixnoob: ok then just echo fortune >> ~/.bashrc  ;p
[17:03] <devilsreject> i have nothing on the physical pieces telling me what kind it is
[17:03] <Pici> devilsreject: I dont know.
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: LEt me look and see what I can find.
[17:03] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: okay :)
[17:03] <devilsreject> does anyone know, i guess i found the unanswerable question lol
[17:04] <nixnoob> pepperjack, or just cowsay `fortune`
[17:04] <pepperjack> nixnoob: yeah if you want the cow too.
[17:04] <sillyxone> devilsreject: if you know the model of your CPU, you can narrow down the type of RAM you have
[17:04] <Jonathan_L> http://pastebin.org/19066

[17:05] <Blinny> Does Ubuntu default to giving each user its own gid with a group name the same as the username, or are they all lumped together in a group like 'users' ?
[17:05] <DRebellion> parkinm, boot off the livecd and check that everything works before installing
[17:05] <sillyxone> devilsreject: most RAM module also has the refresh time printed on the chips (in nanoseconds)
[17:05] <noodlesgc> parkinm almost all hardware will work out of the box
[17:05] <Blinny> parkinm: It should 'just work' if you use the latest flavor, 7.10 ("Gutsy")
[17:05] <nixnoob> uh oh, stupid me gnome-terminal now crashes on startup
[17:05] <parkinm> thanks ppl
[17:05] <DRebellion> nixnoob, just use gedit to change it back
[17:06] <devilsreject> right on thanx yallzzizz

[17:06] <ubuntu> anyone know what hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999 means
[17:06] <devilsreject> i'll do what i should of done to start and just inspect the ram itself
[17:06] <Jonathan_L> sipior: Did you find anything interesting?
[17:06] <davey1> devilsreject i think you are more likely to find that information in your bios screen this is normally limited to type & speed though in most bios's
[17:06] <sipior> Jonathan_L: ah, apologies. i should've realised you were working on the machine presently. do you happen to have the data from when you were only connected via wireless?
[17:06] <devilsreject> Daveyl ---- even better, thanx i'll be back
[17:06] <Jonathan_L> I don't think so, but I can unplug the network canle if that what you mean
[17:07] <nixnoob> DRebellion, which file shoudl i edit?
[17:07] <Jonathan_L> sipior
[17:07] <sunrise> where can i find inittab to set default run level for x windows server on ubuntu7.10?
[17:07] <DRebellion> nixnoob, the one that you edited to break gnome-terminal
[17:07] <sipior> Jonathan_L: what i'm after is: can you verify that the routing information is correct when you connect to the AP
[17:07] <Guerra> Does anyone have experience getting the ATI/AMD 2900 XT or PRO restricted drivers working on Gutsy?
[17:07] <Jonathan_L> sipior: Ó.ò
[17:07] <nixnoob> DRebellion, i edited the current profile in the tabs on gnome-terminal i didnt ouch any text files.
[17:07] <Tkitti> can anyone help? my battery monitor on xubuntu has disappeared and won't return
[17:07] <Pici> sunrise: Ubuntu uses upstart, not the sys v init system.
[17:08] <Pici> !bot boot sunrise
[17:08] <Pici> !boot > sunrise (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: you there
[17:08] <Tyczek> what is better method to install fglrx on default ubuntu kernel? installer or packages?
[17:08] <DRebellion> nixnoob, oh, sorry must have gotten you mixed up with someone else
[17:08] <Guerra> What vid card, Tyczek?
[17:08] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: yup
[17:08] <cvega> i have a weird issue with sound control
[17:08] <nixnoob> DRebellion, got any ideas?
[17:08] <Tyczek> guerby, mobility hd 2600

[17:09] <cvega> in a dell 9300 laptop  (with a built in subwoofer)
[17:09] <Milos_SD> hi all. Is "Magic key" (ALT+SysRQ) enabled in Ubuntu Gutsy?
[17:09] <cvega> volume control doesnt work on the sub
[17:09] <sipior> Jonathan_L: yes?
[17:09] <cvega> only speakers
[17:09] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: thanks!
[17:09] <Tyczek> i installed from packages, but don't know how to upgrade later
[17:09] <omazone> How do I find the MAC Address?
[17:09] <Blinny> Does Ubuntu default to giving each user its own gid with a group name the same as the username, or are they all lumped together in a group like 'users' ?
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: <Super> actually
[17:10] <sipior> Blinny: the former
[17:10] <Jonathan_L> sipior: Can you tell me what to do without interfering with my sister's laptop?
[17:10] <Blinny> sipior: Thanks mate.
[17:10] <genii> omazone: If the interface is up, ifconfig should tell you
[17:10] <noodlesgc> Milos_SD Which key is SysRQ?
[17:10] <Jonathan_L> noodlesgc: Print screen
[17:10] <omazone> genii: The interface?
[17:11] <Jonathan_L> noodlesgc: That key does two things. Usually only print screen.
[17:11] <sipior> Jonathan_L: are you connected via her laptop atm?
[17:11] <omazone> genii: What interface?
[17:11] <Jonathan_L> My laptop with a 2 meter long network cable
[17:11] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: Hmmm... isn't working for me... I'm beginning to wonder if my keyboard isn't configured right... because my Fn key doesn't seem to work either
[17:11] <noodlesgc> oh
[17:11] <Jonathan_L> sipior: My laptop is using a cable, my sister is using WLAN
[17:12] <genii> omazone: If for instance your eth0 device is active, the command: ifconfig        will show the eth0 as well as other info like it's IP and MAC
[17:12] <Tyczek> f.e ati develops 8.2 so... then i just remove old fglrx packages?
[17:12] <Guerra> Does anyone at all have a ATI 2900 XT or PRO that works with restricted drivers?
[17:12] <Jonathan_L> sipior: My sister won't be very happy if I start messing with the router settings, because that would break her internet connection
[17:12] <Guerra> I hate ATI so much now.
[17:12] <sipior> Jonathan_L: i see. well, the trick is to reboot your machine without the ethernet cable, and save the ifconfig and routing data to a file when you are connected via wireless
[17:13] <sipior> Jonathan_L: you shouldn't have to touch the router itself
[17:13] <Jonathan_L> sipior: I will. Wait a few minutes.
[17:13] <Jonathan_L> sipior: ifconfig? Only ifconfig?
[17:13] <omazone> genii: Is MAC Address the same as HWaddr?
[17:13] <sipior> Jonathan_L: no, /sbin/route -n as well, as before
[17:14] <Jonathan_L> Can you give me all commands to do in one line? Want to save it as a text file.
[17:14] <genii> omazone: Yes
[17:14] <DRebellion> nixnoob, what did you change?
[17:14] <sipior> Jonathan_L: /sbin/route -n > route.txt  /sbin/ifconfig > ifconfig.txt
[17:14] <ndan> hmm so anyone else know of a mirror to apt to since tuxfamily.org must be down since last night?
[17:15] <omazone> genii: Uh-huh, thanks a lot my friend! ^_^
[17:15] <nixnoob> DRebellion, i used a custom startup command "gnome-terminal & cowsay `fortune`"
[17:15] <genii> omazone: You're welcome
[17:15] <Guerra> Anyone at all? Any experience with the ATI 2900 video card?
[17:15] <Guerra> I can't find it anywhere.
[17:15] <writeout> Guerra: hmm hd2900?
[17:15] <Jonathan_L> Guerra: Is Xpress 1200 enough?
[17:15] <Guerra> Yes writeout.
[17:15] <writeout> Guerra: i have a hd2900xt
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: Are you making the changes in both sections
[17:15] <Guerra> Did you get the restricted drivers working, writeout?
[17:16] <DRebellion> nixnoob, ok, bad idea. lemme find the config file for you.
[17:16] <writeout> Guerra: sure
[17:16] <writeout> Guerra: the sucks though
[17:16] <Guerra> on gusty?
[17:16] <Guerra> dude, anything for 3d
[17:16] <Hammer89>  Jack_Sparrow: Yeah... I got <alt>q opening the desired program
[17:16] <writeout> Guerra: yeah, but i use envy instead
[17:16] <Guerra> Envy? What's that?
[17:16] <writeout> its a automated installed for ati/nvidia binary drivers
[17:16] <nixnoob> DRebellion, i think i found it
[17:16] <Pici> !envy | Guerra writeout
[17:16] <ubotu> Guerra writeout: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[17:16] <Jonathan_L> sipior: Now I'm rebooting!
[17:16] <Ackdar> ...
[17:16] <writeout> not supported by ubuntu though, but it works great for me and all my computers
[17:16] <DRebellion> nixnoob, ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/
[17:17] <Ackdar> Wvdial didn't work...
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: What program are you trying to do that does not work
[17:17] <Guerra> ubotu: dude, the restricted driver DOES NOT work on my 2900
[17:17] <Guerra> everytime I boot up after installing it
[17:17] <Guerra> my screen is black
[17:17] <nixnoob> DRebellion, yea i fixed it but thanks
[17:17] <Guerra> and won't boot into the GUI
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !worksforme
[17:17] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[17:17] <writeout> Guerra: try the binary driver through envy
[17:17] <Ackdar> Guerra, it seems everyone has that problem
[17:17] <DRebellion> nixnoob, put fortune in your .bashrc
[17:17] <Hammer89>  Jack_Sparrow: the shortcut was to open gnome-do... I was going to use the super key... but I set it to <alt>q instead because that wasn't working
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: Bad advise
[17:17] <Guerra> Yes, and I want to find someone who has figured a way around it.
[17:17] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: why
[17:18] <Guerra> writeout, you using gutsy with this driver?
[17:18] <writeout> yes, binary
[17:18] <Pici> writeout: We don't support Envy in this channel.
[17:18] <writeout> Pici: which i said.
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Read up what the bot posted about envy
[17:18] <Ackdar> Guerra, why were you talking to ubotu... it's a bot
[17:18] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[17:18] <Guerra> Dude, I'm new. So what?
[17:18] <Ackdar> -_-
[17:19] <Ackdar> no need to explode all over us
[17:19] <nixnoob> DRebellion, where does it go? if i just paste the command to the bottom of .bashrc itll run each time i open a terminal?
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: I set <Super>f to open firefox and works fine
[17:19] <illumanti> hi
[17:19] <Guerra> writeout: IM me with the instructions for this driver. WIll it enable 3d support?
[17:19] <DRebellion> nixnoob, yep
[17:19] <nixnoob> DRebellion, k thnx
[17:19] <Ackdar> nixnoob, WvDial didn't connect
[17:19] <Guerra> I'm a 100% linux noob. the only command I know is sudo, and that's not even a real command.
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: Has to be something simple.. try it again
[17:19] <writeout> ok, but if restricted drivers doesnt work, and envy works, it would be ok to say that solution to somewone, while sayin that envy is not supported here.
[17:19] <illumanti> please go to #chippl, ok
[17:19] <ndan> thats wierd its up... everyone check out awn... i def prefer the 3d one tho http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572019
[17:19] <nixnoob> Ackdar, what does console say when you try?
[17:19] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: that's why I'm thinking it might be something wrong with how my keyboard is set up (laptop keyboard)... some keys don't seem to work
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: no
[17:20] <writeout> Guerra: cant, not registered, try ubuntuforums/google. its kinda straight forward
[17:20] <Ackdar> it gets to WvDial Modem <*1>; Password:
[17:20] <DRebellion> How can i get 'echo' to print a newline (\n)?
[17:20] <Guerra> egh
[17:20] <Guerra> le sigh
[17:20] <Pici> DRebellion: echo -e   iirc
[17:20] <nixnoob> DRebellion, thank you it works.
[17:20] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: but restricted drivers dont work.
[17:20] <Pici> DRebellion: rather, echo -e should interpret backslash expressions
[17:20] <DRebellion> Pici, perfect, thanks. I should have read the man page.
[17:20] <acrimo> having an installation issue: I boot from the CD (7.10 desktop) select install/start ubuntu, then the ubuntu logo appears with the orange back-and-forth bar for about 5 minutes, then the bar stops moving and nothing happens
[17:20] <acrimo> it's a fairly new machine
[17:20] <Guerra> one other thing. My sister has a Dell Inspiron 1501 and the touch pad doesn't work on Ubuntu 64 Gutsy. Anyway I can find and install the driver to get it working?
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: So it might see the super key as something else.. I get it..
[17:21] <nixnoob> Ackdar, and then you shoudl enter your password and hit enter.
[17:21] <Ackdar> I did
[17:21] <Ackdar> and it did nothing
[17:21] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: do you know of a way to find out if that's the case?
[17:21] <noodlesgc> acrimo try starting in safe gfx mode
[17:21] <acrimo> ignore me, just found the issue.
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: THis is not the place to discuss envy.. it is not needed. the restricted drivers do work when installed properly
[17:21] <Ackdar> shouldn't it enter the pass for me, since it's in the config?
[17:21] <acrimo> i was using the 32bit disk instead of the 64bit
[17:21] <nixnoob> Ackdar, im sorry i am stumped, yes it shoudl enter the pass for you.
[17:21]  * acrimo feels stupid
[17:22] <Guerra> jack sparrow: Do you have an ATI 2900 series card?
[17:22] <Ackdar> it also gives me 4 lines of login: and on the last one, it says Login: ATDT3229414
[17:22] <Guerra> If not, you don't know that.
[17:22] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: what is the "properly way" ? i press the marker to install it, ubuntu downloads the package and insatlls it, i reboot to black screen or some other strange errors.
[17:22] <Ackdar> then it requests a pass
[17:22] <Guerra> 2900 restricted driver does not work.
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: Not sure.. I would think if you get the keyboard setup correctly everything will fall into lace
[17:22] <bakcil> do you speak bosnian
[17:22] <bakcil> ?
[17:23] <Ackdar> bakcil, none of us speak bosnian
[17:23] <bakcil> okay
[17:23] <writeout> Ackdar: someone might
[17:23] <noodlesgc> bakcil http://home.freeuk.com/iandart/
[17:23] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: Okay... I'll have to look into that then
[17:23] <Ackdar> writeout, it is highly doubtable
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   will let you fine tune it or setup your monitor type correctly with v/h rates
[17:23] <Ackdar> writeout, this is an enlish only channel anyway
[17:24] <Slap_stick1> hey, if i have scp'ed a file and my connection dropped can i use rsync to basically continue where it left off so i dont have to transfer it all again?
[17:24] <leeping> Jack_Sparrow, Debian live is now up and running off a netboot!
[17:24] <leeping> Thanks again for your help!
[17:24] <leeping> I now have a sense of accomplishment
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: MOre often than not it is a monitor that cannot be probed for the correct rates
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> leeping: glad you got it...  Welcome to Ubuntu
[17:24] <Guerra> and how do you fix that, Jack?
[17:24] <leeping> thanks :P I've been using ubuntu for over a year, it's sad isn't it?
[17:25] <leeping> I need to get in the community some more
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: You look them up and put them into the xorg.
[17:25] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: so the most problem with the restricted drivers user have, is invalid monitor settings?
[17:25] <Guerra> I've been having problems with my monitor in Ubuntu too. Nec AccuSync 75f
[17:25] <Guerra> What do you mean?
[17:25] <Ackdar> anyone wish to tell me why I can't activate my modem from System > Administration > Network?  anyone can help me with that?
[17:26] <eth01> language please.
[17:27] <nixnoob> Guerra, theoretically yes, but some monitors are weird
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: No excuse for that language in this channel period
[17:27] <msix> Hi all, i apt-getted source linux-image, changed highmem from 4 to 64, then i did the make-kpkg thing. Now, why do i end up with a package with a different version? is there a way to remake the package so that i can alter it, but not get a different version ?
[17:27] <Guerra> I already apologized for it. No need to tell me.

[17:27] <eth01> Jack_Sparrow, he's already been told. once will do :)
[17:27] <Ackdar> !patience | Guerra
[17:27] <ubotu> Guerra: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.  This is ridiculous.
[17:29] <eth01> let's change the subject folks.
[17:29] <writeout> the graphiccard/monitor problem in linux/ubuntu is really bad compared to windows. i think many potential new ubuntusers falls off on this
[17:29] <sipior> Jonathan_L: yeah, your router isn't doling out an ip address. after connecting, try running "sudo dhclient ath0"
[17:29] <nixnoob> bastid_raZor, just kidding =)
[17:29] <maximilion> By the way, anyone know how to get rid of the delay before a submenu is opened in the main menu?
[17:29] <Jonathan_L> After connecting?
[17:29] <Guerra> I apologize for using profanity, that wasn't even directed at anyone, and you all jump on me.
[17:29] <writeout> ati is evil
[17:29] <Guerra> Ridiculous.
[17:29] <Guerra> instead of helping me
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: May I have a quick pm
[17:29] <bastid_raZor> nixnoob; now i charge three pence for walking over my bridge
[17:29] <Ackdar> Guerra, maybe you should learn some respect instead of whining about a problem that we are trying to help you with. It seems like you are blocking us out for your own solutions...
[17:29] <writeout> Guerra: what are your nationality?
[17:29] <Guerra> Does it matter?
[17:30] <eth01> i'll ask again, can we please change the subject of conversation please.
[17:30] <phoenixz> Hi there, I just installed kubuntu on an acer aspire 5720 laptop. It has an atheros AR5006EG wifi card built in.. The atheros restricted module is loaded, but the wifi light on the laptop doesnt burn and I cant see the wireless device in kubuntu either.. Could anybody help me to get this to work?
[17:30] <nixnoob> bastid_raZor, i have zero pence only american dollars

[17:30] <bastid_raZor> nixnoob; american is soon to be of no value.. the euro will do
[17:30] <Ackdar> Hrishikesh, please use lowercase
[17:30] <nixnoob> bastid_raZor, agreed
[17:30] <Hrishikesh> is there any way to recover yahoo messenger password in version for linux?
[17:30] <Jonathan_L> sipior: What do you mean?
[17:30] <eth01> Hrishikesh, no.
[17:30] <Guerra> It's kind of silly writeout, but that's life.
[17:30] <Pici> !offtopic
[17:30] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[17:31] <Guerra> Anyways, back to my problem.
[17:31] <shishirm1> Hrishikesh: what do you mean recover?
[17:31] <sipior> Jonathan_L: try typing that command in a terminal, then try ifconfig again. see if there's an ip address for the ath0 device
[17:31] <Hrishikesh> I tried .ymessenger directory
[17:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: May I have a quick pm
[17:31] <nixnoob> The liberal use of ubotu in here is just lovely.

[17:31] <maximilion> Guerra: Just ask a question about your monitor. Probably the guy that wrote the Linux driver isn't here, and probably, Nec don't spend a cent on making proper drivers.
[17:31] <Guerra> Go ahead Jack.
[17:31]  * Ackdar agrees with writeout, but refers him to #ubunto-offtopic
[17:31] <eth01> Jack_Sparrow, he is not identified to services ;)
[17:31] <Ackdar> uhhh
[17:31] <Ackdar> #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:31] <DRebellion> Pici, can we change the !offtopic trigger to reflect that the channel/person is talking offtopic instead of just listing the ubuntu channels?
[17:31] <Guerra> max: Sadly. I need to get a new monitor, but that's a bad solution to the issue really. How is Samsung support?
[17:32] <eth01> look's like we'll need some staff in here...
[17:32] <eth01> which are *active*
[17:32] <writeout> i volonteer
[17:32] <Guerra> okay so do I have to be registered to accept IMs?
[17:32] <writeout> yes.

[17:32] <jernster> you have to spell volunteer correctly to be considered a candidate, sorry.
[17:32] <xochilt> hello

[17:34] <Guerra> I've tried to save my little sister's laptop from the horrible Vista.
[17:34] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: do you know how to use the tab key in a shortcut?
[17:34] <Guerra> I installed 64 bit Ubuntu, she has an Inspiron 1501.
[17:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone
[17:34] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[17:34] <eth01> Ackdar, please don't do that.
[17:34] <encrypt128bit> Is it okay to post a URL to the ubuntu forms for my question? I keep asking and no one can seem to answer it
[17:34] <DRebellion> Ackdar, you broke it!
[17:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Hammer89: dont think that is possible
[17:35] <Ackdar> eth01, huh?
[17:35] <eth01> encrypt128bit, yes, consider joining the ubuntu-forums channel here too
[17:35] <Hammer89> Jack_Sparrow: hmm... okay
[17:35] <KiPo_1942> can some1 help me?
[17:35] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: thanks *hugs*
[17:35] <Ackdar> DRebellion, I broke nothing

[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> writeout: For what may I ask
[17:35] <kimmey2k4> ANy place i can download a .deb package or something with a fixed kernel so i dont need to think about the exploit?
[17:35] <Jonathan_L> sipior? http://pastebin.org/19076
[17:35] <DRebellion> Hrishikesh, it is probably a one-way hash. the short answer is: no.
[17:35] <eth01> Pici, no, it's for discussion *about* the ubuntu forums et cetera
[17:36] <writeout> Jack_Sparrow: general support
[17:36] <DRebellion> Hrishikesh, wait, maybe it isn't...
[17:36] <Guerra> Guys. Dell Inspiron 1501. The touch pad won't work with gutsy gibbon. Anyone know how I can find, download and install the proper drivers for it?

[17:36] <Ackdar> Hrishikesh, please stop repeating, and Linux is one of the most secure OS's on the planet. I doubt you can get it back.
[17:36] <sipior> Jonathan_L: i saw it, give me a moment to think

[17:37] <Jonathan_L> Anybody else that can help too?
[17:37] <Ackdar> eth01, please elaborate. What am I not supposed to do?
[17:37] <Pici> kimmey2k4: I suggest you wait until the Ubuntu devs have released an official updated package.

[17:37] <DRebellion> Hrishikesh, i don't know exactly, sorry.
[17:37] <noodlesgc> Guerra, try typing you model name then "ubuntu" into google
[17:37] <Pici> Ackdar: I believe he was referring to doing !fact | myself, instead of messaging the bot.
[17:38] <DRebellion> Guerra, just go to www.google.com/linux and enter you model name
[17:38] <Hrishikesh> any place where i can get it?
[17:38] <encrypt128bit> Jack_Sparrow: someone just told me i could post a link to the problem. The link has all the description
[17:38] <queuetue> Hi.  Could someone point me towards a rundown of virtualization options under ubuntu?  (I want to run a virtual linux machine running another distro under Ubuntu)
[17:38] <sipior> Jonathan_L: how do you start the wireless connection? with networkmanager?

[17:38] <MrObvious> Guerra: The Ubuntu Wiki has a lot of information on laptops. Let me see if I can find an Inspiron 1501 on there.
[17:38] <Ackdar> !virtualization | queuetue
[17:38] <Jonathan_L> I click on it's icon in the "menu field" or in the main menu
[17:38] <ubotu> queuetue: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[17:38] <Jonathan_L> sipior
[17:38] <Guerra> noodle: I've been doing that for over a week, I looked at pretty much every single forum on the issue and absolutely NOT a single helpful article. I've even been to www.ubuntu1501.com which specializes in this laptop.
[17:38] <Guerra> I've called Dell Support even.
[17:38] <Hrishikesh> & another Q, can we create symbolic links to remote host using "ln -s" (or any other command)
[17:38] <queuetue> ubotu, Thank you.

[17:39] <maximilion> kimmey2k4: Check the site before you click, but appears legit.
[17:39] <ex0dus_> good evening
[17:39] <Ackdar> queuetue, Ubotu is not a real person, no need to thank it
[17:39] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: Yes, you can post a detailed link about the problem, but if you say something to indicate what it is about, video, audio, drives, setup .. someone with experience in that area will go look.  If not then you stand the chance of being ignored
[17:39] <Guerra> even bots need loving.
[17:39] <sipior> Jonathan_L: my first thought was that the wireless router may have a mac filter on it, but you mentioned that it works fine under windows, and i presume this is the same wireless card
[17:39] <Jonathan_L> sipior: My laptop have an on/off switch for WLAN. I just leave it on, nothing else.

[17:44] <Guerra> there is a good tutorial for that for the 1501, it may apply to your 1100
[17:44] <Hrishikesh> may be have to continue with it
[17:44] <Guerra> since they use the same modem.
[17:44] <Guerra> Gutsy?
[17:44] <shr1k3> Hrishikesh: not knowing what you want to do zactly, either nfs or yes i was gonna recommend sshfs

[17:46] <sipior> Jonathan_L: you may want to try the ndiswrapper approach (running the windows drivers under linux), until the problem can be sorted out. optionally, you can try grabbing the latest madwifi build and hope that the problem is fixed
[17:47] <sipior> Jonathan_L: good luck, hope you get it up and running
[17:47] <vhozard> anyone who can help me with xawtv?

[17:52] <ubotu> alothafagina: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[17:52] <Jonathan_L> Guerra: I'll do that. (does being in Sweden amke any difference?)
[17:52] <Jonathan_L> I'm swedish

[17:53] <Guerra> You know
[17:53] <Hrishikesh> actually he was away thats why
[17:53] <Guerra> Ubuntu is draining more energy than XP. I'm kinda disappointed.
[17:53] <Hrishikesh> i can show you the script
[17:53] <tosate> doc|work: do you know the required parameters?
[17:54] <Hrishikesh> i want to know how it work

[17:55] <brobostigon> vhozard: we know youre question, please be patient, no need to repeat all the time.
[17:56] <Guerra> Hmm
[17:56] <sipior> Jonathan_L: should work
[17:56] <vhozard> yeah, yeah
[17:56] <Hrishikesh> what is pastebin?
[17:56] <Jonathan_L> That's where I went yesterday. There's actully a new file today
[17:56] <doc|work> tosate: what you're asking for isn't likely to be very accurate, because there are a lot of variables, local network speeds change
[17:56] <Guerra> No idea l00kp.
[17:56] <Jonathan_L> sipior: Do ou think it's already fixed?
[17:56] <l00kp> guerra: then how would you setup wpa encryption in linux?

[17:57] <Jonathan_L> sipior: I will

[17:57] <Guerra> Are you trying to connect to a wireless network? Or trying to broadcast one, l00kp?
[17:57] <alothafagina> eurr, I'm installing programs and I see "amd64" in the filename while I have intel processor  .. should I worry?
[17:57] <shr1k3> Hrishikesh: oops wrong one
[17:57]  * Jonathan_L downloads the latest archive file
[17:57] <l00kp> guerra: both. more importaintly, connect right now.

[17:57] <shazow> hiya, I keep getting "FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia" after installing nvidia-glx-new (also tried using Nvidia's own self-installing script"), any idea what I could try?
[17:57] <Guerra> and your wireless router is WPA or WEP?
[17:57] <lgc> I can't sync my palm in Gutsy with gnome-pilot (and I used to do it in Dapper). Any advice?
[17:57] <l00kp> guerra: wpa w/ tkip encryption.
[17:58] <shr1k3> !paste | Hrishikesh
[17:58] <ubotu> Hrishikesh: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[17:58] <Guerra> okay thats the same as my house.
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> shazow: What nvidia card are youusing
[17:58] <DiceyDaysx> What is the file size limit on a fat 32 formatted ext hd. I get this "File size limit exceeded (core dumped)" in the terminal when using "cp -r" on a 4.4gb file?
[17:58] <shazow> Jack_Sparrow: 7600 GS
[17:58] <Guerra> There should be a network icon next to the date at the top right corner, if you're using gnome gutsy
[17:58] <Jonathan_L> sipior: How to find changelog? I can only find readme, install and stuff
[17:58] <Guerra> is there?
[17:58] <vhozard> anyone who can help me with xawtv?
[17:58] <alothafagina> DiceyDaysx, 4GB
[17:58] <genii> DiceyDaysx: 4Gb
[17:58] <alothafagina> DiceyDaysx,  NTFS can have bigger files
[17:58] <DiceyDaysx> Okay. So should I format in ntfs
[17:58] <alothafagina> indeed
[17:59] <DiceyDaysx> Okay.
[17:59] <DiceyDaysx> Thanks
[17:59] <Guerra> l00kp: is there a network icon at the top right next the date?
[17:59] <genii> DiceyDaysx: ext3 is preferable.
[17:59] <sipior> Jonathan_L: it's possible they don't have one. you may just have to try it out. or google for their mailing list postings on the subject
[17:59] <DiceyDaysx> Yeah, but I may need my mac install to read it
[17:59] <doc|work> tosate: sorry, have never done it :/
[17:59] <l00kp> guerra: No, I have that function disabled. I already tried putting network keys in gnome's network manager. It didn't work. One of the guys here redirectedd me to wpa_supplicant.
[17:59] <doc|work> tosate: perhaps just download from your isp's mirror, then you limit it more to your local network
[17:59] <Jonathan_L> I'll go find that old guide again and check if it works. This new files is 3 days fresher, so who knows
[17:59] <Jonathan_L> sipior
[17:59] <Guerra> Hmm
[18:00] <l00kp> guerra: I have the *network icons disabled.
[18:00] <Guerra> I've never used wpa_supplicant.
[18:00] <genii> DiceyDaysx: If MacOS is 10.X versions it can read ext3 no prob
[18:00] <l00kp> guerra: I cant connect to unencrypted networks only
[18:00] <DiceyDaysx> genii: Okay. Thanks
[18:00] <Guerra> l00kp: check the ubuntuforums.org website. They have some good guides on broadcom networks
[18:00] <Guerra> I have to go. I have class now.
[18:01] <Guerra> goodluck mate.
[18:01] <l00kp> guerra: what should I search for? I've already tried searching.
[18:01] <lego> Onde andam os tugas?
[18:01] <Guerra> search for broadcom wireless guide

[18:01] <lgc> Anyone knows how to create a character device?
[18:01] <sipior> lgc: mknod
[18:02] <Guerra> l00kp: I don't recommend using wpa_sup/app
[18:02] <lgc> sipior, thanks.
[18:02] <genii> lgc: man mknod
[18:02] <l00kp> guerra: what should I use?
[18:02] <clearzen> so after an update I cannot get compiz to function properly. I have done a little digging/troubleshooting and I've come up with this error in the kernel.log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55624/ Can anyone help me?
[18:02] <Guerra> l00kp: but that's just me. Use the network manager, just make sure you have the right broadcom restricted drivers enabled
[18:02] <Jack_Sparrow> shazow: Did you post your xorg to the pastebin yet by chance
[18:03] <linux__alien> does anyone here know how to remove the songs from the library in banshee
[18:03] <lgc> genii, thanks, I'm at it.
[18:03] <_Lucretia_> hi, i'm trying to build rhythmbox with mtp support ready for my new player. I'm using this: "http://thecrosstalk.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-to-install-rhythmbox-with.html" but I get this error after doing the "./autogen.sh --with-mtp" line: "configure: error: totem playlist parsing library not found or too old"
[18:03] <linux__alien> my banshee player does not play any songs all of a sudden
[18:03] <DoYouKnow> Hi! I am having trouble where xine-ui and totem are crashing when I try to play OGG video files. Is there an alternative that I can use that works or a way to fix this problem?
[18:03] <Guerra> l00kp: also enable the first four options in sys>adm>software sources
[18:03] <linux__alien> i want to remove the songs from the library
[18:03] <Jonathan_L> does .deb work in Ubuntu? I know Ubuntu is based on Debian...
[18:03] <Guerra> l00kp: and then reinstall the restricted driver
[18:03] <shazow> Jack_Sparrow: no, but I dont think xorg has anything to do with it, the module wont even load with modprobe nvidia (gives the error i mentioned before)
[18:03] <parkinm> i need a program for ubuntu that will let me change/fake the MAC address on my network card
[18:03] <bieb> I am getting ready to install Ubuntu on my HP dv9500 lappy... it has an AMD Turion64x2 processor, what issues are still out there for ubuntu AMD64bit? I know there was an issue previously with Flash
[18:04] <Guerra> l00kp: Goodluck man.
[18:04] <clearzen> parkinm: sudo aptitude macchanger
[18:04] <l00kp> guerra: Already tried doing that. Someone in the chatroom here told me wpa_supplicant was my only choise.
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> shazow: I always like to look in there... What all have you done or tried so far?
[18:04] <l00kp> guerra: have you ever had success connecting to WPA encrypted wireless networks in linux?
[18:04] <parkinm> clearzen, thanks but sorry I should have said: my ubuntu distro currently doesnt have the net, so i need to get it using this windows pc and transfer with cd/pen drive or something
[18:04] <parkinm> :>
[18:04] <pepperjack> parkinm: sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00
[18:05] <DoYouKnow> hmm... it's only this one particular file
[18:05] <DoYouKnow> weird
[18:05] <vhozard> anyone who can help me with xawtv?
[18:05] <DRebellion> parkinm, visit packages.ubuntu.com
[18:05] <shazow> Jack_Sparrow: I tried uninstalling nvidia-glx-new, rebooting, installing the nvidia official driver, rebooting, uninstalling, rebooting, installing nvidia-glx-new again... i tried installing a new linux-image and then reinstalling... no help on any of those
[18:05] <lollo> if i manually reset the system, i must do something to restore (repair) ubuntu in the next start-up ?
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> shazow: If enabling the restricted drivers doesnt work and installing them manually doesnt work then there is a much deeper issue on that box
[18:06] <lesshaste> can anyone play rtsp://<IP_ADDRESS>:80/streaming/Sec_pt_10935_4fpsB.mov   and get sound?
[18:06] <shazow> Jack_Sparrow: any hypothesis as to what that might be, or should I just do a clean install?
[18:06] <DRebellion> lollo, you mean pull the plug? you might want to run fsck on the drives.
[18:06] <clearzen> parkinm: if you want macchanger here's the link http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Funiverse%2Fm%2Fmacchanger%2Fmacchanger_1.5.0-1_i386.deb&md5sum=d9cb025128b6474a28b18a8a392a1e8e&arch=i386&type=main
[18:07] <marko> can grub boot XP logical extended partition pls someone
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> shazow: HAve you installed things from outside official repos, or used scripts like envy or automatix (both scripts are a bad idea)
[18:07] <linux__alien> is there a channel for banshee
[18:07] <parkinm> i found this clearzen: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/net/macchanger

[18:08] <bieb> I am getting ready to install Ubuntu on my HP dv9500 lappy... it has an AMD Turion64x2 processor, what issues are still out there for ubuntu AMD64bit? I know there was an issue previously with Flash
[18:08] <shazow> Jack_Sparrow: actually i used the "remastered kde4 gutsy" livecd for kicks.. maybe that is part of the issue?
[18:08] <parkinm> i386 = standard x84 pc?
[18:08] <brandonc503> hey all. i only have choice for 640 480 , and 800 600 for resolution. someone told me file once to add resolutions and worked.. anyone know what im talking about?

[18:08] <parkinm> thanks clearzen
[18:09] <navetz> how do i force remove somethign with apt-get
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> shazow: Wish it was a better answer
[18:09] <navetz> ?
[18:09] <marko> can grub boot XP logical extended partition pls someone
[18:09] <shazow> Jack_Sparrow: that's the price you pay for having a convenient distro like ubuntu that tries to do everything for you :P
[18:09] <lollo> uhm ... i don't know what u mean DR .. however the right procedure in windows when someone resets the system manually ( using the botton of the pc ) was to do a chkdsk in the prompt .. now i don't know what t do in ubuntu
[18:09] <pepperjack> marko: assuming xp is ok on the logical partition grub can boot it fine
[18:09] <marko> thx
[18:09] <Votedoper> hey how can i change my identd
[18:09] <DRebellion> lollo, fsck is pretty much the equivalent of chkdsk
[18:09] <allen> ubuntu 7.10 sound stopped working.  aplay -l says no soundcards found for my mcp61. can anyone help?
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> shazow: At least you dont need to call MS to activate it .. :)
[18:10] <zenlunatic> has the flash issue been resolved?
[18:10] <shazow> Jack_Sparrow: amen ;)
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> zenlunatic: Yes  see flashissues
[18:10] <lollo> ok so i write " sudo fsk " .. ?
[18:10] <pepperjack> zenlunatic: yes

[18:10] <max__> hi
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> zenlunatic: It still may take a bit to get going on Opera... if you use that
[18:11] <brobostigon> vhozard: sorry, no.
[18:11] <zenlunatic> Jack_Sparrow: okay
[18:11] <Pici> !anyone | vhozard
[18:11] <ubotu> vhozard: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[18:12] <DRebellion> lollo, pretty much
[18:13] <vhozard> ok, my question about xawtv: With xawtv I can also record video, but only with 24bit jpeg images at 25 fps. If I try any other codec it say: error (init).
[18:13] <lollo> DRebellion, from the terminal " running fsck on a mounted filesystem could cause serious problems to the filesystem " .... Oo
[18:13] <allen> brobostigon: I dont see it in dmesg
[18:13] <DRebellion> lollo, boot off a livecd and use it
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> lol
[18:13] <bigmac> Ekhby
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> lollo: sorry tab complete got me.. do not run that on a mounted system
[18:14] <lollo> from the livecd i avoid all these possible problems ? why ?
[18:14] <DRebellion> lollo, because you can umount the root filesystem
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> lollo: Because you are not running from tha mounted system
[18:14] <lollo> uàààà thx guys , kiss
[18:14] <bigmac> you are gay
