[07:49] <hotmonkeyluv> Filled-Void: I always read and make backups (I didn't a while ago, then xorg.conf turned to mush, now I backup everything)
[07:49] <SHMO> Slart, unless i can install to a usb hdd, it's ok, but i don't want to touch the main partition
[07:49] <erawfish> SHMO: makes no sense to use a netinstall for a liveC
[07:49] <GSF1200S> hey, quick question.. whats the latest gutsy kernel image?
[07:49] <sui> xmanxxx im no prob at installing vmware but i used that tutorial i showed you and i only have problems when i tried to change the default file loactions
[07:49] <Filled-Void> hotmonkeyluv, :) Good make sure theres no consequences sicne I avent personally done it on my laptop yet
[07:50] <Slart> SHMO: ah.. so what's the goal here? you need a live cd to do what?
[07:50] <erawfish> GSF1200S: packages.ubunut.org will tell you
[07:50] <sui> xmanxxx: im no pro*
[07:50] <SHMO> surf the net, etc.
[07:50] <GSF1200S> erawfish.. thanks
[07:50] <xmanxxxx> sui: ???
[07:50] <hotmonkeyluv> Filled-Void: I'll be your tester!
[07:50] <simi>     hi, each user set his own resolution, where is this saved?
[07:50] <Slart> SHMO: can't you do that from your windows install?
[07:50] <puff> with a .deb file, is there a way to list what the package name will be after you install it?  I don't see anything in the man file.
[07:50] <Filled-Void> hotmonkeyluv, :)
[07:51] <xmanxxxx> sui: in no pro, ???
[07:51] <SHMO> Slart, as i said before, my windows partition is damaged
[07:51] <GSF1200S> hmm, that site isnt loading up
[07:51] <sui> xmanxxxx: im not a pro at installing vmware but when i used that tutorial i didn't have a problem at all
[07:51] <Slart> SHMO: ah.. didn't read that part...
[07:51] <sui> BY THE WAY vmware works way better with windows!!
[07:51] <xmanxxxx> grrr
[07:52] <sui> lol
[07:52] <xmanxxxx> sui: is rare man, i'm having trubbles here, trust me
[07:52] <SHMO> so, Slart, you see i'm in quite the conundrum
[07:52] <astyler> hey, I'm new and trying to install ubuntu off of the alternate cd
[07:53] <Slart> SHMO: and the problem with the cd you've got is that you don't have enough memory to burn a newer cd, right?
[07:53] <simi> my resolution is saved like a gnome setting? i need to see where it is saved?
[07:53] <SHMO> Slart, yes
[07:53] <Slart> !res | simi
[07:53] <ubotu> simi: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:53] <sui> xmanxxx: try removeing all the files you installed and then install with no patches
[07:53] <astyler> my installing process of xubuntu is stuck on "scanning the mirror" and won't move.  I'd check forums but they are down, and almost all google results point to ubuntu forums.
[07:54] <sui> xmanxxxx: r u trying to sintall from the apt-get?
[07:54] <SHMO> Slart, http://pastebin.ca/900883 is my /dev/ can you see my memory card there?
[07:54] <xmanxxxx> sui: i 'm trying this
[07:54] <xmanxxxx> nop
[07:54] <xmanxxxx> nop apt/get
[07:54] <xmanxxxx> i download the 1.0.4
[07:55] <sui> oh because thats what the tut u posted tells to do
[07:55] <xmanxxxx> and put on server using winspc
[07:55] <Slart> SHMO: might be any of the sd* things
[07:55] <sui> but apt-get dosen't seem to work for vmware
[07:55] <speedhunt3r> What exactly happens when I hit "Remember currently running applications" under sessions>session options ?
[07:55] <SHMO> Slart,  i'll have a look
[07:55] <kahrytan> simi->  Easy way to restart X is Ctrl-ALT-Delete (key)
[07:55] <GSF1200S> anyone know what the latest kernel image is?
[07:55] <kahrytan> simi->  Easy way to restart X is Ctrl-ALT-Backpsace  (key) OOPS
[07:55] <xmanxxxx> sui: i hate when yhis happen
[07:55] <threefcata> why is my XP installation unable to write to MBR?
[07:55] <threefcata> i'm install xp after ubuntu
[07:55] <Slart> GSF1200S: latest in ubuntu? <IP_ADDRESS> I think
[07:56] <sui> xmanxxx yeah idk what to tell you really execpt how i installed it with http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html
[07:56] <Slart> threefcata: ask the microsoft people.. they are the ones that created it
[07:56] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, your xp installation will overwrite your MBR (welcome to windows) lol
[07:56] <SHMO> Slart, sd* are all inaccessable
[07:56] <GSF1200S> slart.. thanks
[07:56] <kahrytan> speedhunt3r->  Or be like me and use two different hdds for linux and xp.
[07:56] <Slart> SHMO: and sda1 is your regular hard drive?
[07:56] <threefcata> speedhunt3r, yes but now it can't
[07:57] <xmanxxxx> threefcata: first install xp, after ubuntu
[07:57] <sui> xmanxxxx: make sure you have xinetd and build-essential linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic
[07:57] <SHMO> Slart, it's a livecd
[07:57] <xmanxxxx> yes sr
[07:57] <threefcata> my other partitions are ext3
[07:57] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, after installation, you can boot up using ur livecd, go to terminal and you can restore grub
[07:57] <xmanxxxx> sui: it will be the first that i do when finish to install ubuntu server
[07:57] <Slart> SHMO: yes.. but the live cd is scd0 or somethinh like that.. sda1 is a hard drive
[07:57] <threefcata> speedhunt3r, now the problem is i can't install XP bucause the installation can't write to MBR
[07:58] <SHMO> well i haven't been able to access any of the hd* and i'm not surprised as the windows partition is damaged
[07:58] <kahrytan> threefcata->  you need to chroot into hdd before grub restore.
[07:58] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, use "sudo grub > find /boot/grub/stage1 > root (hdx, x) > setup (hdx) > quit " where x,x, is the result of the find command.
[07:58] <xmanxxxx> threefcata: these hdd is bad
[07:58] <kahrytan> !grub | threefcata
[07:58] <ubotu> threefcata: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:58] <Frogzoo> threefcata: ask in #windows
[07:59] <abuyazan> hello
[07:59] <kahrytan> threefcata->  you can use fdisk to delete mbr
[07:59] <sui> threefcata: supergrub is the best tool/bootdisk to fix all boot issues http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[07:59] <abuyazan> i am searching about a good solution for purchasing management , does any one have idea about this
[07:59] <threefcata> kahrytan, fdisk under linux?
[08:00] <kahrytan> threefcata->  dos.
[08:00] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, or you could use the grub rescue cd, burn the iso and boot from that..it'll fix all ur mbr problems....
[08:00] <xmanxxxx> sui: is the same version as in ur tutorial
[08:00] <Hadeshorn> I am in the terminal, how can i list what screens ubuntu thinks are attached to the comuter
[08:00] <SecretLine> fdisk can delete all mbr ?
[08:00] <Hadeshorn> because I believe the black screen at the login is because its putting the display out to an external monitor that isnt there
[08:00] <kahrytan> threefcata->  There is only one. hence MASTER
[08:00] <SHMO> Slart, did you get my last message?
[08:01] <sui> xmanxxxx: yeah
[08:01] <SaadS|AboutUs_> litius left?
[08:01] <SaadS|AboutUs_> argh
[08:01] <Slart> SHMO: yes.. still thinking here
[08:01] <han`> i am having an issue in compiz where ctrl-alt-right (or ctrl-alt-left for that matter) skips a desktop and instead moves two to the right
[08:01] <han`> if that makes sense
[08:01] <xmanxxxx> sui: let me try
[08:01] <kahrytan> threefcata->  fdisk /mbr will delete and replace with ms original
[08:01] <han`> anyone ever seen or heard of that?
[08:02] <xmanxxxx> fdisk -mbr
[08:02] <d7> how can I change the defualt program for different file extensions?
[08:02] <sui> xmanxxxx: VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz
[08:02] <kahrytan> xmanxxxx->  thats for linux?
[08:02] <xmanxxxx> sui: yes i download it minutes ago
[08:02] <sui> sweet
[08:02] <han`> oh i just figured it out myself...
[08:02] <speedhunt3r> d7, system>preferces>perferred applications
[08:03] <sui> this channel has 10 times as many as ##windows
[08:03] <d7> speedhunt3r, that seems very limited
[08:03] <kahrytan> d7->  another way is right click the on the file and click properties
[08:03] <SHMO> i'm stumped, bored, and in need of a cigarette
[08:03] <kahrytan> d7->  and open file with will change the default program
[08:03] <SHMO> brb
[08:03] <Hadeshorn> whoa
[08:03] <threefcata> i tried the diskpart that comes with XP disk but it seems it can't handle my disk..
[08:03] <d7> kahrytan, thank you
[08:04] <Hadeshorn> i removed xrandr and its like untinstalling soo much stuff
[08:04] <xmanxxxx> why he try to install  2 os if he cant format mbr
[08:04] <sui> who knows but supergrub fixes everything
[08:04] <xmanxxxx> first u install any windows os, because by default any windows take all the mbr
[08:04] <xmanxxxx> yes i dontknow supergrup, i use lilo
[08:04] <kahrytan> xmanxxxx->  Windows install cant delete mbr
[08:05] <bazhang> weird internet situation--not mine, a friend's--can connect to google on a fresh gutsy install and gmail but nowhere else--would this be a ipv6 or a dns problem?
[08:05] <xmanxxxx> i create my oun disk
[08:05] <sui> u can install windows second if you use supergub to get ubuntu back on the boot screen
[08:05] <speedhunt3r> windows will not take over or delete mbr
[08:05] <xmanxxxx> kahrytan: u read well, use the recovery option fron cd
[08:05] <speedhunt3r> it just overwrites the data...MBR is the first few bytes of ur hardisk (512 bytes) i think, that tells the BIOS where to look on the harddisk to load the OS... step 2 of booting up the PC.
[08:06] <d7> man, I don't understand how ubuntu can be so good, and windows be so lame
[08:06] <sui> imo i still think windows is better simply because so many apps are still developed for it
[08:06] <sweetsinse> ......
[08:06] <sui> but ubuntu runs way better and is a lot cooler
[08:07] <kahrytan> sui-> dude... thats commercial apps. There is thousands of oss apps
[08:07] <sweetsinse> i have yet to find an app for windows that doesnt hav a better one in linux
[08:07] <speedhunt3r> along with so many apps there are so many viruses that window's is vurnable to
[08:07] <sui> but no one makes great apps for ubuntu
[08:07] <sweetsinse> what kind of app are you lookng for
[08:07] <badkitty> sui: Give an example
[08:07] <kahrytan> !best | sui
[08:07] <ubotu> sui: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[08:07] <sweetsinse> i have a whole suite of nice ones
[08:07]  * Slart misses the games...=/
[08:07] <sui> vmware works better on windows
[08:07] <sui> lol
[08:07] <sweetsinse> well yes
[08:08] <kahrytan> Slart->  and thats why they got consoles
[08:08] <sweetsinse> there is always the games
[08:08] <badkitty> sui: Try virtualbox
[08:08] <badkitty> The only better support I see is for games
[08:08] <WGGMk> sui: I think VMWare works fine on Linux
[08:08] <sui> games
[08:08] <sui> lol
[08:08] <speedhunt3r> virtualbox is so easy to use, i don't know about vmware, never used it.
[08:08] <oxeimon> hi, I tried the instructions in "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager" to fix my network manager causing my computer to not suspend, but now my network manager won't even start up on restart. I even removed all the files I created, and it still won't start. Can someone Please help me get my networkmanager to start? Even typing "nm-applet&" in the terminal doesn't do anything...
[08:08] <sweetsinse> mabe is devs would *maybe* consider there is something other than directx
[08:08] <Slart> kahrytan: bah.. consoles.. then I'd have to buy my own tv.. hmm.. on the other hand.. that's not a bad idea =)
[08:08] <kahrytan> Slart->  not really
[08:08] <WGGMk> I have some specific security questions about deploying a server. Was wondering if anyone could help me answer them for me
[08:09] <kahrytan> Slart-> Just get tv tuner card
[08:09] <sui> but you see if ubuntu becomes main steam then it will become just like windows
[08:09] <badkitty> sui: Except the whole fact that it is NOT PROPRIETARY
[08:09] <Slart> kahrytan: nah.. that's not my problem.. the wife uses the tv.. =)
[08:09] <kahrytan> Slart->  though. most dont have a/v input you naturally have to use coxial adapter or get good lcd with a/v inputs
[08:09] <sweetsinse> my modded xbox does everything anyway
[08:10] <badkitty> Slart: I feel your pain, the gf owns the tv :-(
[08:10] <sui> soon ubuntu will be full of auto loginscripts and auto sudio password scripts viruses will have no problem at all
[08:10] <SHMO> any ideas, Slart?
[08:10] <WGGMk> yea if ubuntu becomes more dominate in the Desktop world, it wont have as many faults as windows in many different area's of what makes a good OS. IMHO
[08:10] <sweetsinse> plus i have a xvga2, so i can play high res xbox on a monitor :)
[08:10] <Slart> SHMO: I'm not sure here.. but have you tried mounting sda1?
[08:10] <oxeimon> I tried the instructions in "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager" to fix my network manager causing my computer to not suspend, but now my network manager won't even start up on restart. I even removed all the files I created, and it still won't start. Can someone Please help me get my networkmanager to start? Even typing "nm-applet&" in the terminal doesn't do anything...
[08:10] <muep> sui: people wouldn't use it if it stops working well
[08:10] <kahrytan> badkitty and Slart -> it's a bad sign when the man of the house gives up the tv...
[08:10] <dondong> does anyone konw how to install sopcast?
[08:10] <muep> sui: there are dozens of other distros
[08:11] <SHMO> Slart, i'm a newb
[08:11] <muep> badkitty: ubuntu ships proprietary code already
[08:11] <oxeimon> "ps aux" gives: "nm-applet --sm-disable", AND "nm-applet"...what does that mean?
[08:11] <SHMO> Slart, how do i mount sda1?
[08:11] <sweetsinse> bottom line...windows has no concept of users at the filesystem level...wide open legs
[08:11] <badkitty> kahrytan: It's really more of a percieved giving up.. She thinks she is in control.. If I really wanted to use it, she'd be out
[08:11] <sui> muep: the only reason any of that would happen is if people use it a lot
[08:11] <kahrytan> sweetsinse->  any HD monitor has the right ports for console
[08:11] <dondong> !sopcast
[08:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sopcast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:11] <Slart> SHMO: I'm assuming the card is formatted as.. FAT32 or something..
[08:11] <sweetsinse> yeah but this is only a vga monitor
[08:11] <sweetsinse> like a crt
[08:11] <kahrytan> badkitty-> but she might kick you onto the couch then
[08:11] <sweetsinse> but it looks fantastic
[08:11] <SHMO> Slart, probably
[08:11] <badkitty> kahrytan: Actually she prefers the couch ;-)
[08:11] <SHMO> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mount /dev/sda1
[08:11] <SHMO> mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:12] <WGGMk> sui: i think your missing a key factor about Linux vs. Windows
[08:12] <Hadeshorn> can you have network access in recovery mode?
[08:12] <xmanxxxx> sui: the same trubble
[08:12] <muep> sui: users don't directly affect ubuntu
[08:12] <Slart> SHMO: try this  "sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[08:12] <xmanxxxx> it dont accept the serial
[08:12] <WGGMk> sui: its not that Windows is used by more people everywhere, its the fact that the OS isnt as hardened as a linux system.
[08:12] <WGGMk> *using
[08:12] <Hadeshorn> can you have network access in recovery mode?
[08:12] <xmanxxxx> sui: why, is ubuntu server 7.1 fault
[08:12] <oxeimon> Hadeshorn: if you're talking to me, I'm testing it now
[08:12] <muep> sui: they may request things, but doing anything too idiotic would cause the people who contribute to the distro to disappear
[08:13] <sweetsinse> windows 'pretends' to lock you out of stuff when in reality every user is an admin
[08:13] <Hadeshorn> oxeimon, let me know how it goes
[08:13] <sui> WGGMk: a windows system can be made as secure or more secure then a ubuntu system
[08:13] <SHMO> Slart, SUCCESS!
[08:13] <SHMO> i'll take it from here
[08:13] <sweetsinse> what does this word 'secure' mean....
[08:13] <SHMO> tyvm
[08:13] <sweetsinse> if its made by humans it has a crack
[08:13] <Slart> SHMO: sweet.. you're welcome, good luck
[08:13] <WGGMk> sui: I fail to see that? passing windows "Genuine Advantage Test" is the matter of changing a .dll value from 1 - 0 in the system32 folder
[08:13] <sui> WGGMk: but generaly speaking windows is less secure because of the many ease of use fetures
[08:14] <xmanxxxx> sui: why it doesnt work
[08:14] <xmanxxxx> ?
[08:14] <norty> I have another question, I have a path to a file, /test/test.txt and i just want this /test/test  I dont want the extension, i tried figuring this out with grep but can't get it, any help?
[08:14] <WGGMk> sui: ease of use features do not make a system unsecure, the way they were developed does
[08:14] <oxeimon> Hadeshorn: it seems like I can. I can do a "sudo aptitude search" successfully
[08:14] <muep> sui: it's not the features, but they have made compromises in security to ease the use
[08:14] <muep> sui: it's just the default settings
[08:14] <sweetsinse> i like the fact that in linux...the files needed by my computer to run dont even belong to me, the user
[08:15] <WGGMk> sui: muep: and that is MS's flaw, compromissing the wrong things
[08:15] <Slart> norty: sure.. grep -o '[^/]+/[^/)+$'
[08:15] <sui> you guys you always have to comprmise security to make things easier
[08:15] <SHMO> Slart, "/media/sda1/200705~1.mp4" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[08:15] <xmanxxxx> sui: i had to reinstall ubuntu again to see if it work
[08:15] <xmanxxxx> ?/
[08:15] <muep> sui: yes, that's why they have done it in windows
[08:15] <sui> you cannot make a fullproof secure system thats also user friendly
[08:15] <oxeimon> sui: the problem is, linux doesn't always work, and compared to windows, it's Extremely buggy and hardware dependent
[08:15] <Slart> SHMO: run this first.. "sudo chmod -R a+rw /media/sda1"
[08:15] <oxeimon> Hadeshorn: any ideas?
[08:16] <sui> xmanxxxx: did it work?
[08:16] <Hadeshorn> ox: I am soo lost it isnt funny
[08:16] <muep> oxeimon: linux is a lot less hardware dependent than windows
[08:16] <Hadeshorn> ox: i need to reinstall GDM
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> sui: nop
[08:16] <sweetsinse> linux is just a differnt concept of programming
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> it dont accept any serial man
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> any serial
[08:16] <sui> did you copy and past it?
[08:16] <sweetsinse> linux is a chain of scripts and highly specialized functions and commands
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> in suse it never happen
[08:16] <norty> Slart, that doesn';t seem to work, is there a typo in what you wrote?
[08:16] <oxeimon> muep: well, in the sense that it will load up on any hardware is one thing, but for it to work flawlessly, is extremely hardware dependent
[08:16] <sweetsinse> windows favors 'do-it-all' programs
[08:16] <WGGMk> IMO, linux is THE concept of an OS. Windows is the "different" concept
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> how i copy if i am in text mode
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> ?
[08:17] <oxeimon> muep: windows has worked perfectly on every computer I've ever built. Linux hasn't
[08:17] <muep> oxeimon: it's not hardware dependency in linux, it's just the lack of drivers
[08:17] <bazhang> weird internet situation--not mine, a friend's--can connect to google on a fresh gutsy install and gmail but nowhere else--would this be a ipv6 or a dns problem?
[08:17] <kahrytan> WGGMk->  Linux is the kernel and NT is kernel of Windows
[08:17] <badkitty> sui: Do you use linux or are you trolling?
[08:17] <muep> oxeimon: perfect is a subjective thing
[08:17] <Slart> norty: sorry.. use this instead.. grep -o '[^/]*/[^/)*$'

[08:17] <WGGMk> kahrytan: i know this?
[08:17] <oxeimon> can someone Please help me get network manager to start up?
[08:17] <sweetsinse> yeah
[08:17] <sui> i use linux
[08:17] <Khisanth> sui: can't be much worst than vista's "ask permission for every tiny thing" :)
[08:17] <Delvien> Is Ubuntuforums down?
[08:17] <sui> but im not "useing" linux
[08:17] <SaadS|AboutUs> Hi All
[08:17] <SaadS|AboutUs> I need help with my snd
[08:18] <SaadS|AboutUs> possible totall removal and reinstall
[08:18] <sui> XP 4 life!!
[08:18] <xmanxxxx> is possible work with thois shit o not, i'm fucking angry
[08:18] <sweetsinse> half the time devs have to reverse engineer the hardware to make drivers becasue so many vendors ASSUME we want windoze
[08:18] <sui> lol
[08:18] <Slart> norty: or change grep into egrep.. egrep understands the + operator.. regular grep doesn't
[08:18] <oxeimon> "ps aux" shows "nm-applet --sm-disable", what does that mean? How do I get it to start?
[08:18] <SHMO> Slart, how do i unmount and remount sda1?
[08:18] <xukun> Hi all. I wonder which subversion client is best for linux(ubuntu)?
[08:18] <bazhang> xmanxxxx: watch the language
[08:18] <Hadeshorn> whats the command to do a apt-get install and get the packages off a cd?

[08:18] <simi> kahrytan: i know how to restart X but after restart my resolution is set to maximum (1400x...) and i saved it to 1024x... i just want to find where my resolution was saved, somewhere in /home/simi folder

[08:19] <sweetsinse> not alot of corps. running windoze servers
[08:19] <sui> the are diffrent
[08:19] <Slart> norty: ah.. that's because ls only prints out the filenames. not the path

[08:24] <badkitty> Slart: Oh no I was just seeing who the ops were... is there a better way to do this
[08:24] <Slart> SHMO: ok.. this then.. "cat /etc/mtab" ?
[08:24] <sui> Gateskeeper idk him
[08:24] <Slart> badkitty: ah.. I've only seen that used when someone needs to be kicked etc..
[08:24] <sweetsinse> bill gates bro

[08:25] <sui> i see... idk he never said anything about it to me...
[08:25] <Slart> SHMO: not in here.. pastebin..
[08:25] <norty> Slart, when i try that command it says "Permission denied"... do i need to stick sudo in there somewhere?
[08:25] <SHMO> http://pastebin.ca/900940
[08:25] <Slart> norty: my echo thingy?
[08:25] <SHMO> look i gotta go
[08:25] <badkitty> jussi01: Ok, I apologize .. what does it do..I figured using it by itself only shows me who ops are..not calls anyone
[08:25] <norty> yeah
[08:25] <sweetsinse> i dont think he would take to kindly to the idea of "free windoze" via the interent...hell vista ultimate costs over 400 where i w3rk
[08:25] <SHMO> i thought i could get this done in a couple of hours
[08:26] <Gumby> oxeimon: have you tried sudo Network-Manager (I think thats what it is)
[08:26] <xmanxxxx> the fucking ubuntu crash all
[08:26] <cooli1> anybody here that worked on the training manuals?
[08:26] <Hadeshorn> whats the command to do a apt-get install and get the packages off a cd?
[08:26] <pocketdrummer> Are only ops supposed to use !commands?
[08:26] <SHMO> but that's linux for ya
[08:26] <sui> do you know that if you're software cannot be pritated then that is a sure sign that it will fail
[08:26] <Hadeshorn> !apt-get
[08:26] <sxealex> is there someplace i can download the default apache2.conf file that comes with ubuntu  i deleted mine by mistake
[08:26] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[08:26] <oxeimon> Gumby: the command is "nm-applet", and that doesn't work. It doesn't do anything...
[08:26] <xukun> what's your preferred subversion client?
[08:26] <SHMO> i gtg
[08:26] <nealio> I am going to name my daughter ubuntu
[08:26] <SHMO> bbl
[08:26] <SHMO> i'll re-ask the question in a few hours
[08:26] <sui> nealio lol
[08:26] <sweetsinse> sxealex can you reinstall the package, not sure if that'll do
[08:26] <SHMO> thanks for the help so far, Slart
[08:26] <Slart> norty: shouldn't need sudo.. it's only a echo command..
[08:26] <norty> Slart, wait this is what happenes when i run: echo "/path1/test.txt" | egrep -o '[^/]*/[^/]*$' I get "path1/test.txt" but nothing else
[08:27] <Slart> SHMO: you're welcome
[08:27] <jussi01> pocketdrummer: no, anyone can, but !ops is only for emergencies :)
[08:27] <nealio> If I cant find a wife named ubuntu ill name my daughter that
[08:27] <oxeimon> Gumby: "ps aux" shows that nm-applet is already running, but for some reason it's running with the option "nm-applet --sm-disable", which according to the helpfile "disables connection to session manager"
[08:27] <sxealex> can i dpkg-reconfigure?
[08:27] <Slart> norty: ah.. thought so.. well that wasn't what you wanted?
[08:27] <WGGMk> can anyone advise me on security measures for running a server with listening applications and security? best practices? hardening the system?
[08:27] <norty> Slart, no, i want just the fullpath to the file but without the .ext
[08:27] <sxealex> i have only ssh access
[08:27] <norty> so like /path1/test.txt I want /path1/test
[08:28] <sui> WGGMk sounds like you will be reading lots of texts files on server security soon
[08:28] <SaadS|AboutUs> need help in reinstalling sound
[08:29] <badkitty> WGGMk: There are a few linux administration pdfs online that have alot of great in-depth information about that
[08:29] <sweetsinse> sxealex ill see if i got one
[08:29] <sxealex> :D
[08:29] <sxealex> you the man
[08:29] <sparr_> am i the only ubuntu user still encountering fallout of the apache->apache2 conversion?
[08:29] <Slart> norty: ahh.. I get it.. are there any dots in the path?
[08:29] <WGGMk> sui: i have a server running already but im just looking for friendly advice, or an assurance on how secure it is to run a server + firewall system as 1 instead of physically seperating it
[08:29] <sweetsinse> ok got it
[08:29]  * davidw is wondering if there was something dramatically wrong with the latest firefox upgrade
[08:29] <sxealex> i never have luck with any httpd.conf files
[08:29] <norty> no
[08:29] <norty> Slart, no there aren't
[08:30] <sweetsinse> open dcc with me
[08:30] <WGGMk> badkitty: you wouldnt happen to know a good direction to start at would ya? preferabbly NOT a HOW TO
[08:30] <sweetsinse> i dont remeber how to send files
[08:30] <Slart> norty: egrep -o '[^\.]*'
[08:30] <mwazny> I have a problem. My computer freezes with just the wallpaper showing when I try to log out or switch users or anything
[08:30] <sui> WGGMk don't you use a router?
[08:30] <Gumby> oxeimon: nm-applet --sm-disable is how it runs by default.  Its normal
[08:30] <norty> Slart, thanks!!
[08:31] <Slart> norty: you're welcome
[08:31] <Gumby> oxeimon: I think without sm-disable the network would only run as long as your session was running
[08:31] <oxeimon> Gumby: it's not appearing in my notification area, and I can't connect to the internet though...
[08:31] <WGGMk> sui: no, my server is serving my DHCP and a number of other things.. my WRT54G is flashed with DDWRT firmware acting as a wireless/ethernet bridge/access point
[08:31] <badkitty> WGGMk: Hmm I suppose I could find the name of some of the pdf's and you could search for them
[08:31] <xmanxxxx> the fucking ubuntu crash all
[08:31] <Gumby> oxeimon: if network-manager isnt running then what is the network applet supposed to connect to
[08:32] <Gumby> oxeimon: does ifconfig return any IP address for your network device?
[08:32] <sui> WGGMk yeah the best way to lean about it is just to google text files and grab ebooks off torrents and stuff
[08:32] <oxeimon> Gumby: normally when my internet is working, ifconfig gives 3 sections, "eth0, eth1", and something else
[08:32] <Gumby> oxeimon: I am guessing that your network issues do not lie with nm-applet (it is only an applet afterall) but more with your network settings/configuration
[08:33] <oxeimon> Gumby: now, ifconfig gives a section "lo", with inet addr "<IP_ADDRESS>"
[08:33] <mwazny> can anyone help with a problem where ubuntu freezes every time I try to log out or switch users?
[08:33] <oxeimon> Gumby: it's definitely with the applet.
[08:33] <davidw> damn
[08:33] <sweetsinse> i like tomato better that ddrt
[08:33] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, so your network isnt up.  no its ont the applet
[08:33] <davidw> firefox is dead in the water:-/
[08:33] <oxeimon> I followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[08:33] <oxeimon> Gumby: the two instructions under "Suspend support"
[08:33] <Gumby> oxeimon: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:33] <oxeimon> after I did that, I restarted, and nm-applet didn't load
[08:33] <sui> WGGMk default ubuntu is faily secure.. not much you can do to if execpt social engi the admin
[08:34] <oxeimon> Gumby: that didn't do anything.
[08:34] <snorkel> sui: what about the recent kernel exploit does that effect ubuntu?
[08:34] <WGGMk> sui: do you think there is any down fall to using the same machine to firewall and serve?
[08:34] <oxeimon> it said "reconfiguration network... [OK]"
[08:34] <oxeimon> *reconfiguring*
[08:35] <Gumby> oxeimon: so as I initially stated, network manager probably isnt running.  which of course means you have no network management and nm-applet can not connect to anything which is why it isnt working or possibly not even showing up
[08:35] <WGGMk> snorkel: it only effects you if you give out shell access, for example is someone can ssh into your machine.
[08:35] <sui> snorkel maybe im not up on all the details of that
[08:35] <Delvien> Is Ubuntuforums down?
[08:35] <Gumby> oxeimon: and what does ifconfig show now?
[08:36] <Slart> Delvien: works here
[08:36] <Filled-Void> Can I take a screennnnshot of my login screen somehow :x ?
[08:36] <sweetsinse> damn i really want to fix the gnome panels dying when compiz starts
[08:36] <oxeimon> Gumby: how do I get network manager to start running?
[08:36] <oxeimon> Gumby: ifconfig gives the same thing
[08:36] <Gumby> sudo  /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid
[08:36] <sweetsinse> or just start compiz really early in the login process
[08:36] <oxeimon> Gumby: "lo...inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>"
[08:36] <sui> http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257
[08:37] <Delvien> Slart its giving me a time out...
[08:37] <Delvien> slart weird
[08:37] <oxeimon> Gumby: wow, that worked. Now why didn't it do that normally?
[08:37] <oxeimon> Gumby:  actually, not I can see the applet, but it still doesnt connect
[08:38] <Gumby> oxeimon: try doing the sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:38] <oxeimon> already tried
[08:38] <Gumby> what does ifconfig say now (dont paste here, paste somewhere like pastebin.ca and paste the resulting URL back here)
[08:39] <sui> snorkel "Unprivileged  local users can gain elevated (root) privileges. Since the
[08:39] <sui> vulnerability permits  privilege 0  ring code execution, users  may also
[08:39] <sui> break out from virtual machines like UML (user mode Linux)"
[08:39] <oxeimon> Gumby: well, I clearly can't paste, since I'm on another computer as the problem computer doesn't have internet
[08:39] <oxeimon> Gumby: but it gives the expected 3 sections
[08:39] <oxeimon> "eth0, eth1, lo", with no valid ip-addresses anywhere
[08:40] <Gumby> oxeimon:which connection is the default connection?
[08:40] <oxeimon> Gumby: "eth1" is the wireless
[08:40] <sui> WGGMk do you use remote logins on you're server?
[08:40] <ninetto> someone knows virtualbox ?
[08:40] <WGGMk> sui: yes why?
[08:40] <Gumby> oxeimon: are you using encryption with the wifi?
[08:41] <oxeimon> Gumby: "eth1      Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00...... UP BROADCAST MULTICASST MTU:1500  Metric:1  RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:2841"
[08:41] <ninetto> i have a problem....after installation of vista in virtualbox i have a problem 67 to connect the shared directory
[08:41] <jason__> okay, i have tried literally everything. and still, the only operating system that will recognize my sound card and USE it, is freespire.. anyone have any ideas?
[08:41] <sui> MGGMk because thats the only way someone and exploit you're kernal
[08:41] <WGGMk> sui: i know, i just told someone else that
[08:41] <Gumby> oxeimon: try this  sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[08:41] <oxeimon> Gumby: hmm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I recently installed some certificates via firefox that allowed me to connect to an encrypted network
[08:41] <WGGMk> sui: im not concerned though
[08:41] <ninetto> someone help me please ?
[08:41] <codename> Anyone know anything about installing UT2004
[08:41] <codename> On 7.10
[08:41] <oxeimon> Gumby: but there's another unencrypted network that I often connect to as well
[08:42] <oxeimon> Gumby:  and neither works
[08:42] <Gumby> oxeimon: see if it shows wireless networks available and hopefully at least yours
[08:42] <sweetsinse> has anyone else used freenx
[08:42] <sui> WGGMk ubuntu passwords are more secure then vista
[08:42] <oxeimon> Gumby: Yes it does
[08:42] <WGGMk> sui: i think that would depend on the individual
[08:42] <simi> i can't find where gnome is saving my resoltion, i will try to save it in xorg but is not posible that gnome or ubuntu change it back to the maximum suported resolution?
[08:42] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, that is good.  have a look at the nm-applet now.  does is list those networks?
[08:43] <sui> WGGMk you host lots of people
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby:  in fact, it shows 43 networks, a bunch of which have the same name as the ones I normally connect to
[08:43] <WGGMk> a private group
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby:  and yes, it does.
[08:43] <alinon> i'm having issues changing the theme for my lock dialog, anyone care to lend a hand?
[08:43] <codename> Anyone know anything about installing UT2004
[08:43] <Gumby> oxeimon: and can you connect to those ones you were connecting to before now?
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby: However, when I click on them, it tries to connect for 5 seconds, and fails.
[08:43] <WGGMk> sui: a private group (didnt include your name that time)
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby: I cannot connect to any of them
[08:44] <alinon> i'm not getting any errors, but my theme doesn't change either
[08:44] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, let me read that page you posted earlier for a second.
[08:44] <sweetsinse> alinon them for everything?
[08:44] <oxeimon> Gumby: which page
[08:44] <sweetsinse> theme*
[08:44] <Gumby> oxeimon: what exactly were you trying to do when following the instructions on that page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[08:44] <alinon> sweetsince: no just for the lock dialog theme
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: well, my wireless used to randomly crash, taking the whole computer down with it
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: so I was trying to fix that
[08:45] <sweetsinse> like shutdown and gksudo and whatnot
[08:45] <taime1> no sound on my laptop..help?
[08:45] <wers> in what directory are kde icons located? :)
[08:45] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, that page isnt going to help with that
[08:45] <alinon> sweetsince: like if you hit ctrl-alt L - i want to change what that lock screen looks like
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: so I followed the instructions under "Suspend support", and later on under "Disabling NetworkManager"
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: but afterwards, I deleted all the files I created
[08:45] <sweetsinse> ahhhh
[08:46] <sweetsinse> never use that
[08:46] <Gumby> oxeimon: rm /etc/acpi/suspend.d/*network-manager.sh (just in case)
[08:46] <alinon> sweetsince: i went to gnome-look.org and found one i like, followed the instructions - but it's just not changing it
[08:46] <sweetsinse> does everything else change like gksudo and the logout screen alinon
[08:46] <oxeimon> Gumby: no such file or directory :-)
[08:47] <alinon> sweetsinse: naw, it's only suppose to change the lock theme
[08:47] <sweetsinse> i didnt know there were themes just for that?
[08:47] <Gumby> oxeimon: and also sudo rm /etc/default/NetworkManager*
[08:47] <sweetsinse> interesting
[08:47] <oxeimon> Gumby: can you paste your /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManager
[08:47] <Gumby> oxeimon: sudo  /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManagerDispatcher.pid
[08:48] <Werdna> Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a system with no cd-rom drive, unable to boot from usb with syslinux (but it can read the drive), and a floppy drive. I've copied the contents of the ubuntu cd to my USB drive, and I'm trying to boot into it via a floppy drive. How can I talk syslinux into booting a kernel on external media (such as a usb storage device)?
[08:48] <alinon> sweetsince: yeap if you goto gconf-editor and change the lock_dialog-theme
[08:48] <oxeimon> Gumby: I mean, your "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher", and your "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager"
[08:48] <oxeimon> Gumby: I think I accidentally deleted those...
[08:48] <sweetsinse> Werdna i just did this
[08:48] <alinon> sweetsince: they look great, i just can't change mine! haha
[08:48] <Gumby> oxeimon: http://pastebin.ca/900958
[08:48] <sweetsinse> i have the floppy at my house though and im not there :(
[08:48] <Gumby> thats the first one
[08:49] <Werdna> sweetsinse: how'd you do it?
[08:49] <oxeimon> Gumby: would yours be the same as mine?
[08:49] <sweetsinse> i found a boot image for a floppy somewhere
[08:49] <alinon> well i guess i'm just gonna try rebooting and see if that helps
[08:49] <Werdna> sweetsinse: remember anything about it?
[08:49] <sweetsinse> basically uses drivers 2 mount the cdrom then boot from there
[08:49] <Gumby> oxeimon: second one is http://pastebin.ca/900960
[08:49] <sweetsinse> gimme a min
[08:50] <Gumby> oxeimon: I am using ubuntu hardy so it may or may not be.  tough to tell
[08:50] <NineTeen67Comet> WWhuah nelly! .. I recently updated my son's computer (7.10 Ubuntu) and rebooted to blackness .. No BIOS even .. I can hear the hd spin around, and even moved the PCI video card around and tried an AGP card I have laying around with same results .. help?
[08:50] <Gumby> oxeimon: cant hurt to try though.
[08:50] <oxeimon> hmm, if I reinstall networkmanager, would that remake those scripts?
[08:50] <sweetsinse> oxeimon
[08:50] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, does not sound like an OS / update problem
[08:50] <sweetsinse> do you know much about the s30gdm script
[08:50] <oxeimon> sweetsinse: yes?
[08:51] <oxeimon> sweetsinse: nope nothing at all
[08:51] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, do you hear beeps?
[08:51] <NineTeen67Comet> tijn: that's what I'm thinking .. maybe the mobo battery?
[08:51] <sweetsinse> in my bootcharts...gdm starts from that script then gets killed and reinitiated by the getty
[08:51] <NineTeen67Comet> tijn: yeah .. it'll beep three times sometimes, and others it'll dual beet, then tripple .. I'm in google now looking up beeps ..
[08:51] <sweetsinse> i want to solve this flashing screen between usplash and gdm
[08:51] <Gumby> oxeimon: after editing those files I'd give your system a reboot and see how things worked then
[08:51] <tijn> 3 beeps have a meaning indeed ;)
[08:51] <cptnymo> hello
[08:52]  * NineTeen67Comet lol .. no beeps now .. sigh ..
[08:52] <tijn> maybe  your memory
[08:52] <cptnymo> is the update website down for ubuntu?
[08:52] <NineTeen67Comet> tijn: yeah .. slowly pulling and replacing stuff .. lucky it is an old box with hardware I've got in supply .. lol
[08:53] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, what you also can do is strip the system completly except mobo/proc etc and listen for beeps
[08:53] <jakil_> re
[08:54] <jakil_> piti je fait quoi ma
[08:54] <jakil_> la
[08:54] <griffi1> hello
[08:54] <cptnymo> hello?
[08:54] <cptnymo> can anyone read this?
[08:54] <badkitty> update website?
[08:54] <badkitty> yes i can
[08:55] <NineTeen67Comet> tijn: bout to that point .. I'm a little confused because I can hear the hd boot up as normal ...
[08:55] <cptnymo> yes i tryed to update at it said 404
[08:55] <badkitty> how did you try to update?
[08:55] <oxeimon> Gumby: I can't seem to reinstall network-manager
[08:55] <oxeimon> Gumby: can I somehow get it from the ubuntu install disk?
[08:56] <Gumby> oxeimon: reinstall?
[08:56] <Gumby> you completely removed it?
[08:56] <Gumby> or just those files?
[08:56] <oxeimon> Gumby: I'm trying to sudo aptitude reinstall network-manager
[08:56] <cptnymo> W: Failed to fetch http://kr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdelibs/kdelibs-data_3.5.8-0ubuntu3.3_all.deb
[08:56] <oxeimon> Gumby: hopefully that will replace those files
[08:56] <cptnymo>   404 Not Found
[08:56] <Gumby> oxeimon: why not just create them yourself?
[08:56] <marshmello> How would I go about adding all ips to the ban list in the iptable and then adding certain ips on a specif port limited access?
[08:56] <P1ro> hi, any guide to update kernel ?
[08:57] <oxeimon> Gumby: how do I create them?
[08:57] <oxeimon> Gumby: the ones you sent me are from hardy, and I can't copy/paste
[08:57] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, well it can be multiple problems, mem, video card, proc, mobo etc
[08:57] <badkitty> cptnymo: Is that for kde?
[08:57] <Pupeno> any recommended RSS reader?
[08:57] <Gumby> oxeimon: well a few ways, you can open them up on the desktop by doing gksudo gedit /path/to/file  or via a console by doing sudo nano -w /path/to/file
[08:58] <Gumby> oxeimon: floppy? cdrom?  usbstich?  copy them over
[08:58] <P1ro> its there any guide/doc or something to update the kernel ?
[08:58] <Gumby> usbstick
[08:58] <cptnymo> idk its just a bunch of stuff that came up in the little available updates pop up
[08:58] <bullgard4> English help wanted. What is a 'commit' log? (Found in Synaptic > File > History.) I have read 'dict commit' but do not get the meaning of 'commit' here.

[08:59] <marshmello> How would I go about adding all ips to the ban list in the iptable and then adding certain ips on a specif port limited access?
[08:59] <badkitty> cptnymo: I dunno what that repo is for.. i dont get an error and I dont think that is a repo in my sources
[08:59] <sweetsinse> Werdna you there
[08:59] <cptnymo> do you know how i can make it go away?
[09:01] <codename> Anyone know anything about installing UT2004
[09:01] <codename> i dont have the installer.sh
[09:03] <P1ro> how i can make my sources point to my kernel
[09:03] <P1ro> i have two kernel and im trying to patch one driver and it always patchs the old kernel !
[09:03] <Werdna> sweetsinse: yes
[09:03] <sweetsinse> ok
[09:03] <sweetsinse> you need sbm.bin
[09:03] <sweetsinse> SmartBootManager
[09:03] <mabap> Hello how do I view a dvd?
[09:04] <gary4gar> codename, http://ubuntu-forum.com/showthread.php?t=394706
[09:04] <ttys2> how can i sett user rights in fstab for smbfs
[09:04] <Werdna> sweetsinse: cheers.
[09:04] <sweetsinse> use:    dd if=sbm.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=1 count=512    :to copy to a floppy haha
[09:05] <sweetsinse> Werdna that last part is important
[09:05] <sweetsinse> its like rawrite in windows
[09:05] <nomopofomo> Hello, I'm trying to figure out why the title bar of windows turns white occasionally.
[09:05] <thelonecabbage> is there an applet than can monitor remote server uptime?
[09:05] <badkitty> mabap: Use vlc or totem
[09:05] <unixpower> hello all
[09:06] <NineTeen67Comet> thelonecabbage: I use Munin to track all my boxes .. munin.openlug.com .. you can also just have it watch your one box ..
[09:06] <pabix> nomopofomo, system, preferences, sounds, system bell ?
[09:06] <Pupeno> I am used to Akregator, but I'd like to use something more Gnomish on Gnome.
[09:06] <NineTeen67Comet> aptitude intstall munin-node munin and some minor /etc/munin/*.conf editing and it'll be up
[09:06] <feanorek> how can i hide, my hdd icon on the desktop?? I got gnome
[09:06] <gary4gar> does d4x, support multiple connections to same servers?
[09:06] <Werdna> sweetsinse: I have rawrite, I'm in windows now :P
[09:06] <sweetsinse> whats akgragator
[09:07] <thelonecabbage> NineTeen67Comet: I use munin
[09:07] <sweetsinse> ok perfect
[09:07] <Survivorman>     Liferea is gnomish
[09:07] <badkitty> sweetsinse: RSS reader i believe
[09:07] <thelonecabbage> but I need something more simple, just to report when a server goes down
[09:07] <mabap> badkitty: okay I will try this
[09:08] <oCtodur> anyone that have time to give help with a e100_eeprom_load: EEPROM corrupted error while booting ubuntu ?
[09:08] <pabix> gary4gar, system, preferences, peripherals
[09:08] <NineTeen67Comet> thelonecabbage: I use a server uptime service that'll pop you an e-mail .. http://www.serviceuptime.com/free_monitoring.php first URL is free.
[09:08] <pabix> gary4gar, sorry, was for feanorek
[09:08] <nomopofomo> pabix, it's nothing to do with sounds at all. It's a bug, I believe, where the title bar of a window will turn white/gray and the minimize/maximize/close buttons become mostly invisible.
[09:08] <pabix> nomopofomo, got compiz?
[09:09] <thelonecabbage> unless the email reaches out and smacks me in the head, it's not much use
[09:09] <mabap> badkitty: Totem could not play 'file:///home/mabap/media:/hda'
[09:09] <thelonecabbage> the point is I need something to alert me when a server goes down
[09:09] <thelonecabbage> I don't check my email 'cept once or twice a day
[09:09] <feanorek> pabix, thx
[09:09] <nomopofomo> pabix, I believe I do but I think I probably need to download the application that allows me access to the advanced compiz settings, right?
[09:10] <pabix> nomopofomo, for compiz issues, you better ask another person... I'm the wrong one :(
[09:10] <NineTeen67Comet> thelonecabbage: lol ..  I dunno what'll actually pop out a signal other than e-mail or log ..
[09:10] <badkitty> mabap: If it doesn't work you probably need to download the codecs
[09:10] <ttys2> where can i find material that will give me an idea about user rights and how they work when it comes to setting them my self
[09:10] <thelonecabbage> NineTeen67Comet: in theory applet
[09:11] <thelonecabbage> I guess I'll have to write one
[09:11]  * pabix is compiling itk, vtk, ffmpeg, mpeg2-encode, and paraview...
[09:11] <nomopofomo> pabix, maybe you can help me with another issue? Which plug-in would you recommend for viewing Quicktime movies in Firefox?
[09:11] <pabix> nomopofomo, mplayer plug-in?
[09:11] <nomopofomo> pabix, I'll look, thanks :)
[09:11] <pabix> you search for mplayer in synaptic (and you have downloaded the non-free codecs)
[09:11] <Survivorman> pabix, does the whole app grey out?
[09:11] <mabap> badkitty: I have all the codecs.. :/
[09:12] <nomopofomo> Survivorman, are you talking to me?
[09:12] <Survivorman> Oops
[09:12] <pabix> Survivorman, I have no problem with my desktop, you might have asked nomopofomo
[09:12] <Survivorman> Sorry
[09:12] <badkitty> mabap: are you sure.. do you have libdvdcss2?
[09:12] <pabix> :)
[09:12] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo what driver and vidcard you using
[09:12] <Survivorman> Sorry pabix
[09:12] <pabix> no need to be
[09:12] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, nvidia and Geforce 6600 GT
[09:12] <Werdna> sweetsinse: didn't work. my files are on a USB drive, which it wouldn't talk to.
[09:13] <sweetsinse> oh you did say that didnt you Werdna
[09:13] <sweetsinse> i thought you needed floppy
[09:13] <Survivorman> In compiz, the whole app occasionally greys out when the app crashes, but if the titlebars disappear, usually switching from gtk back to emerald helps me fix it
[09:13] <Werdna> no, not enough room on a floppy :P
[09:13] <sweetsinse> ahh
[09:14] <sweetsinse> what do you need on there?
[09:14] <sweetsinse> what you mean not enough room
[09:14] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo what wndow decorator
[09:14] <nomopofomo> Survivorman, no, that's not the case. Sometimes while switching between windows or moving my mouse over the title bar buttons, the title bar ONLY will grey out.
[09:14] <Werdna> sweetsinse: the 700MB ubuntu install disk. I can't find my damn USB CD-ROM drive. I've copied the files themselves onto a USB disk, and I want to run it.
[09:14] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, compiz... I think? I don't actually know what a window decorator is.
[09:15] <Werdna> sweetsinse: I've determined that if syslinux would work on that disk, I'd be in business.
[09:15] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, I know I'm using the human theme. 7.10 Gutsy.
[09:15] <nomic> can anyone tell me when i have set up a simple NFS share and i type "sudo mount <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/dan  /home/dan"  where <IP_ADDRESS> is the inet address of wlan0 on the server  -- I get "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/dan, missing code page or helper program or other error"
[09:15] <sweetsinse> Werdna why not use floppy to boot cd, what were you trying to do again
[09:16] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo you are probly using gtk-window-decorator
[09:16] <Werdna> sweetsinse: Install ubuntu. I don't have a CD drive for this computer (it's a laptop)
[09:16] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, how would I confirm?
[09:16] <pocketdrummer> Is there a Dashboard like program that works well with Ubuntu (that I can get from the repository?)
[09:17] <sweetsinse> ps aux | grep gtk-window
[09:17] <dgjones> nomic, are you using this help guide to setup nfs? https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-file-system.html
[09:17] <sweetsinse> run that nomopofomo
[09:17] <nomic> nope
[09:17] <nomic> i will try that one
[09:18] <nomopofomo> /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --replace
[09:18] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, I am running it.
[09:18] <badkitty> pocketdrummer: screenlets?
[09:18] <sweetsinse> you could try like soeone suggested, to install emerald nomopofomo
[09:18] <sweetsinse> i personally like it alot
[09:18] <pocketdrummer> badkitty: is it available from the repository and not Ubuntu breaking? This is the first time I've had it up and running without serious problems.
[09:19] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, what's it called in the package manager?
[09:19] <sweetsinse> and i know gtk has issues sometimes with compiz
[09:19] <oxeimon> Gumby: thanks for all your help. I finally have it working
[09:19] <griffi1> does anyone where is the file .config for the kernel when youfirst install ubuntu (I mean the kernel header) ??
[09:19] <sweetsinse> just emerald
[09:19] <Gumby> oxeimon: good to hear
[09:19] <oxeimon> Gumby: and by working, I mean back to the point before I tried to fix it hahahah
[09:19] <sweetsinse> compiz will use it by default if it exists
[09:19] <badkitty> pocketdrummer: Umm actually i think it is.. try it if not, its just a repo away..
[09:19] <dgjones> nomic, i used that and didn't have a problem setting it up, my nfs shares mount from fstab, instead of using the hostname, i use the ip address of the machine and have set the mount points into /media
[09:19] <Gumby> oxeimon: always a learning experience :)
[09:19] <nomic> right thanks dgjones ... btw how do you get a hostname for a machine instead of an ip address
[09:20] <oxeimon> now I can finally start on my problem set that's due tomorrow. gahhhhh
[09:20] <nomic> i think it is because i should be using fstab
[09:20] <sweetsinse> Werdna do you have a floppy though on that lappy
[09:20] <oboy03> what should i do if in my restricted drivers manger ATI card is present and not NVIDIA which is my video card
[09:21] <nomopofomo> One last question. How do I choose which plug-in I want to decode movies in my browser if there are two installed? Should I just remove the Totem plug-in or will that cause dependency errors? I would rather use the VLC plug-in.
[09:21] <dgjones> nomic, i'm not sure about getting the hostname, its something i need to have a look at myself at some point for situations when the ip address changes
[09:21] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo remove totem-mozilla
[09:21] <nomic> yes i gather the ip address may not be constant dgjones
[09:22] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo is emerald w3rking/
[09:22] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, installing it now :)
[09:23] <dgjones> nomic, in theory on mine it should be, i use mac address filtering and each allowed mac address is linked to an internal ip address on the router, but for some reason my router settings have gotten confused and they've changed which is why i want to change to the hostname
[09:23] <oboy03> what should i do if in my restricted drivers manger ATI card is present and not NVIDIA which is my video card
[09:23] <nomopofomo> oboy03, shit a brick.
[09:23] <sweetsinse> oboy03 is everything w3rking at the moment?
[09:23] <oboy03> yeah
[09:23] <nomic>  l8r dgjones
[09:24] <sweetsinse> then id say if it aint broke... :)
[09:24] <oboy03> sweetsinse: then i cant use accelerated graphic
[09:25] <sweetsinse> ahh
[09:25] <badkitty> lol
[09:25] <Werdna> sweetsinse: yes.
[09:25] <oboy03> nomopofomo: what do u mean by shit a brick???
[09:25] <speedhunt3r> can anyone use QtTube anymore? seems like every URL times out when i try to download...
[09:25] <sweetsinse> haha what is output of:   lspci | grep VGA   :oboy03
[09:26] <oboy03> ??
[09:26] <nomopofomo> oboy03, I meant it sounds like a tricky problem.
[09:26] <sweetsinse> Werdna i dont know, maybe sbm can pass boot to usb also?
[09:26] <badkitty> oboy03: He means, that shouldn't be possible
[09:26] <Werdna> sweetsinse: nope.
[09:26] <oboy03> well it is possible
[09:26] <badkitty> oboy03: And that your are in a jam
[09:27] <sweetsinse> haha
[09:27] <sweetsinse> a very sticky fruit jam
[09:27] <badkitty> oboy03: How could it recognize an nvidia card as an ati?
[09:27] <sweetsinse> yes that is peculiar
[09:27] <sweetsinse> what is the output of that command oboy03
[09:27] <nomopofomo> Haha, how do I actually apply one of these themes in Emerald?
[09:28] <oboy03> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
[09:28] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo are you in the theme manager for emerald
[09:28] <oboy03> but in restricted driver it says
[09:28] <nomopofomo> Yes
[09:28] <oboy03> ATI accelerated drvier and HAL
[09:29] <sweetsinse> hang on i dont have it installed on hardy
[09:29] <norty> how do i get diff to print out 0 or 1 everytime? i need to use it in an if statement..
[09:29] <nomopofomo> Sigh... I need subversion...
[09:29] <nomopofomo> I'm on it sweetsinse.
[09:30] <sweetsinse> oboy03 you might have to specify driver in xorg.conf, dont know which you need?
[09:30] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo do you have a .emerald file
[09:31] <sweetsinse> pretty sure you just go to 'Import'
[09:31] <badkitty> oboy03: I see the system tells you its an nvidia card but it recommends an ati driver in the restricted manager?
[09:31] <oboy03> badkitty: yes
[09:31] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, not yet. I could export one from the theme manager but I'm going to try to import some first from the repositories.
[09:31] <sweetsinse> oh
[09:31] <nomopofomo> But first, I need subversion.
[09:31] <sweetsinse> i dont know of any packages in the repos
[09:32] <oboy03> i just updated a while ago and i am surprise it recommends ATI, i had it working before with nvidia
[09:32] <badkitty> oboy03: Can you install the nvidia drivers yourself?
[09:32] <sweetsinse> do you remeber what driver you were using
[09:32] <oboy03> badkitty: i do not know manually, i just follow the update
[09:33] <oboy03> i remember the new-nvidia-glx
[09:33] <oboy03> i think
[09:33] <cafuego> nvidia-glx-new
[09:33] <oboy03> thats it
[09:34] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, yeah, I can't figure out how to get any of the themes from the repositories...
[09:34] <oboy03> i tried now sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[09:35] <nomopofomo> after that command finishes, oboy03, run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[09:35] <badkitty> oboy03: Your going to have to enable the restricted repo i imagine
[09:35] <badkitty> oh ...it worked?
[09:35] <oboy03> so how can i remove the ati and the HAL?
[09:36] <sweetsinse> no sure either, didnt know there were theme packs in repo nomopofomo
[09:36] <sweetsinse> oh you dont want to remove hal my friend
[09:37] <sweetsinse> emerald is crazy customizable
[09:38] <corporeal> anyone here use ypserv/nis?
[09:38] <Le^stat> how do i install different login screens or themes
[09:38] <sweetsinse> system > administration > login window
[09:38] <Le^stat> i've downloaded some
[09:39] <Le^stat> it doesnt recognise it
[09:39] <sweetsinse> did you unpack it
[09:39] <oboy03> i think u hav to us gdm manager or something like that
[09:39] <sweetsinse> leave it as a .tar
[09:40] <Le^stat> oh
[09:40] <Le^stat> nice one
[09:40] <Le^stat> ta
[09:40] <norty> How do I get diff to output either 0 or 1, i need to use it for an if statement.. ??
[09:40] <sweetsinse> haha no worries
[09:41] <sweetsinse> norty is this bash
[09:41] <sweetsinse> script
[09:41] <norty> no csh
[09:41] <mabap> norty: diff a b > /dev/null; echo $?
[09:41] <Werdna> sweetsinse: any ideas?
[09:42] <norty> I need it to work locally
[09:42] <mabap> norty: what do you mean?
[09:43] <norty> can't have access to /dev
[09:43] <oboy03> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable   did not work
[09:43] <nomopofomo> I can't figure out how to make Emerald work for me. :(
[09:43] <badkitty> nomopofomo: It doesn't work at all?
[09:43] <IndyGunFreak> nomopofomo: are your graphics drivers installed?
[09:44] <nomopofomo> IndyGunFreak, course. badkitty I opened up the app in System >Preferences but can't figure out how to apply the theme.
[09:44] <boy> hai
[09:44] <badkitty> nomopofomo: You apply the theme inside of emerald
[09:44] <sweetsinse> Werdna i dont suppose youve poked around your bios for usb support...haha wishful thinking?
[09:45] <IndyGunFreak> nomopofomo: it should enable as soon as you choose it, least it always has for me.
[09:45] <nomopofomo> emerald: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0" from terminal
[09:45] <boy> what is your name
[09:45] <nomopofomo> I meant that came from the terminal.
[09:45] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo can you see the default red borders?
[09:45] <nomopofomo> No.
[09:45] <sweetsinse> you need to restart compiz
[09:45] <badkitty> i see... have you rebooted since you installed it?
[09:45] <sweetsinse> or
[09:45] <sweetsinse> in terminal
[09:45] <nomopofomo> badkitty, no :)
[09:45] <sweetsinse> emerald --replace
[09:45] <oboy03> is there an easier way to remove the list in the restricted driver manager?
[09:46] <norty> nevermind i got it
[09:46] <norty> thanks
[09:46] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, that worked!
[09:46] <sweetsinse> mmm BOMB
[09:46] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: why are you worried about it?.. just disable what you don't want, enable what you want, and don't worry about it.
[09:46] <sweetsinse> compiz will boot emerald from now on
[09:46] <nomopofomo> Uh oh.
[09:46] <badkitty> nomopofomo: That was my next move
[09:46] <oboy03> thats the problem
[09:46] <sweetsinse> hahaha
[09:46] <oboy03> what i want is not in it
[09:46] <oboy03> :)

[09:49] <oboy03> glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:49] <sweetsinse> ha what the fudge
[09:49] <IndyGunFreak> well, i'd say your drivers likely aren't setup
[09:50] <sweetsinse> yes a very not good sign
[09:50] <oboy03> isnt the update suppose to handle that?
[09:50] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: how did you install the driver?
[09:50] <oboy03> it just update from the main server
[09:50] <sweetsinse> oboy is this udgrade from feisty 2 gutsy

[09:53] <sweetsinse> peace out ubuntunununu
[09:54] <achandrashekar> can someone aid me with dhcp failover ad dhcpd.conf ?
[09:54] <oboy03> its funny i never had a successful install-then-update
[09:54] <achandrashekar> i am trying to failover/load balance for ltsp
[09:54] <oboy03> i always end up reinstalling ubuntu
[09:54] <kazil> hi all! i'm loosing wireless connection when trying something to upload (torrents, ftp, browser, no difference). i've got LevelOne WNC-0305USB adapter. anyone any idea?
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless | kazil try looking here
[09:55] <ubotu> kazil try looking here: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: if you end up reinstalling, then you're doing something horribly wrong.,... reinstalling isn't fixing problems..,
[09:55] <blue1> Hello, could someone help me on how to transfer data between two hdd's? I can only see one of the dics's in the folder management
[09:56] <oboy03> yeah
[09:56] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: so the first thing, your nvidia driver is not installed.
[09:56] <oboy03> its just that linux is not as user friendly as windows
[09:56] <griffi1> achandrashekar: if you find a way for dhcp failover let me know pls I m very interesting
[09:56] <oboy03> but im trying hard
[09:57] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: sure it is, you've jus been spoonfed windows your whole life.
[09:57] <oboy03> yeah i agree
[09:57] <oboy03> so now nvidia i guess is not installed
[09:57] <achandrashekar> griffil: i am close. but i have a problem with failover parameter causing dhcp not to start
[09:57] <Ernst> Will the new kernel 2.6.24 make it into Hardy Heron?
[09:58] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: it would appear so
[09:58] <IndyGunFreak> !nvidia | oboy03
[09:58] <ubotu> oboy03: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:58] <linuxas> hello
[09:58] <oboy03> is there a way to fix things without tying anything in the terminal?
[09:58] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: it should have been recognized and setup out of the box, why it wasn't, i don't know.
[09:58] <Belisarivs> I and my friends in flat are connected to the Internet. Actually we have line connection to router with which we created wireless network
[09:58] <Belisarivs> we connect to that network
[09:59] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: thats almost a given, NO... you'll almost always need to use terminal.
[09:59] <Belisarivs> when I download via ktorrent, my friends are unable to browse web and so
[09:59] <blue1> My drives shows up in disk & filesystems, but not with df -h http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/3746/56615644aq8.png
[09:59] <linuxas> i resized my ext3 filesystem. and now at boot time, it shows that's cann't read at filesystem... check this --> http://pastebin.ca/900996
[09:59] <Belisarivs> so, how to configure ktorrent so they are no longer bothered?
[09:59] <Belisarivs> Any idea?
[09:59] <linuxas> what can i do?
[10:00] <linuxas> Belisarivs, use azureus :)
[10:00] <IndyGunFreak> Belisarivs: thats probably a question for ktorrent, as it has nothign to do with Ubuntu
[10:00] <blue1> or bittorrent if you dont like java slowing down your system
[10:00] <linuxas> any idea what can i do with this http://pastebin.ca/900996 ?
[10:00] <Nozy> hi all
[10:01] <mason> hello ??
[10:01] <Nozy> I have 1 thing that is driver me mad it to do with my KB not sure why but my ¨
[10:01] <mason> i'm a newbie here
[10:01] <mason> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4311216&posted=1#post4311216
[10:01] <oboy03> so how do i set the restricted driver to the way it was when it was installed?
[10:01] <mason> can somebody teach me how to fix this problem ?
[10:01] <Nozy> dont work right was will as ´ < key
[10:02] <Ayabara_> or there good movie players out there besides mplayer and vlc?
[10:02] <Ayabara_> or->are
[10:02] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: so let me understand, your nvidia card was in restricted driver when you installed?
[10:02] <mason> sorry just know disconnect
[10:03] <oboy03> nope
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> Ayabara_: totem, xine, vlc is the best in my opinion though
[10:03] <oboy03> it was before i reinstalled
[10:03] <oboy03> it was the only present
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> well, i don't know why it wouldn't be now.
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> why did you reinstlal last time?
[10:04] <oboy03> then i reinstalled yesterday and updated a while ago, and now ati is a choice instead of nvidia
[10:04] <mason> i was already install xserver-xgl, and when i type compiz in terminal i get this:Checking for Xgl: not present.
[10:04] <mason> No whitelisted driver found
[10:04] <mason> aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity  "
[10:04] <mason> this is my graphic card:VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
[10:04] <oboy03> i resintalled because the desktop was gone after i login
[10:04] <mason> i click the restricted drivers manager and got the message "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[10:04] <mason> i set the advanced desktop effects nothing appear, i want to enable the effects but got the message"desktop effects could not be enabled"
[10:04] <mason> why?
[10:04] <mason> can some one teach me ?
[10:04] <Ayabara_> IndyGunFreak: ok. I'm using the vlc nightly now, and when its stable "enough" I think it will replace mplayer as my favorite choice
[10:05] <IndyGunFreak> Ayabara_: the version in the repositories is perfectly stable, why are you using the nightly build?
[10:06] <oboy03> well im gonna rest for a while my head aches from troubleshooting :)
[10:06] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: trouble shoot it the way you did the first time, reinstall.lol.
[10:06] <Ayabara_> IndyGunFreak: a couple of things I miss is implemented there. like a shortcut to zoom video to 50/100/200% of original size
[10:06] <yclian> I don't know whether I should hate IBM and Oracle; or Debian when I realized a lot of th installation of their products require extra efforts on Debian/Ubuntu. :-|
[10:07] <IndyGunFreak> yclian: well, like what.
[10:08] <Survivorman> I blame Charles Babbage
[10:08] <bazhang> yclian: got an actual question?
[10:08] <yclian> WebSphere MQ and Oracle 11g not working as expected. Maybe I'm not doing the right things.
[10:08] <yclian> nah nah, not actual questions.

[10:20] <newTruth> Hi all, anyone knows how to run a script on media insert??
[10:20] <gwork> fdafda: use mount and your device name under /dev/ for the drive you want to mount
[10:20] <Belisarivs> levander: reboot? wtf?
[10:20] <levander> newTruth: System -> Administration -> Removable Drives
[10:21] <newTruth> Super ! thanks
[10:21] <levander> Belisarivs: That's what the Ubuntu restricted drivers manager says to do
[10:21] <fdafda> gwork: if I do mount, or mount -a, it comes up as 1 sda, but it should be hda, and the second one doesn't show at all
[10:21] <levander> Belisarivs: I know I should be able to just restart X, but I'm going to follow instructions
[10:21] <Belisarivs> restarting Xes is enough
[10:22] <kazil> i'm loosing wireless connection when trying something to upload (torrents, ftp, browser, no difference). i've got LevelOne WNC-0305USB adapter. anyone any idea? i looked the help stuff, but no solution
[10:22] <gwork> fdafda: where is your boot manager located, and do you use your bios menu to select a drive to boot from?
[10:23] <fdafda> gwork: both drives have been primary discs, so both have grubs installed on them, in bios the primary is selected as primary, and that's the one that comes up.

[10:26] <zala> ciao ho un problema con l'installazzione della nuova vers di amule
[10:26] <zala> aiuto!!!!!
[10:26] <gwork> fdafda: how can you adres your second harddisk? is it known as /dev/sdb?

[10:27] <cheesypieces> hello there, anyone have a recommendation for a program to keep 2 network folders in sync?
[10:27] <levander> I just figured out what started me down this whole mess with my graphics card.  In the Ubuntu Screen and Graphics application, if I have the monitor's refresh set to 50 Hz, I get transparent vertical black bars across my desktop.  When I change it to 57 Hz, they go away...  Anybody seen anything similar to that?
[10:27] <fdafda> gwork: This is with "df -h": http://pastebin.com/d8b1ae1d
[10:28] <gwork> try /media/disk
[10:28] <dgjones> !backup | cheesypieces, this might have something usefull, I use "Unison" to backup folders manually across a network
[10:28] <ubotu> cheesypieces, this might have something usefull, I use "Unison" to backup folders manually across a network: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[10:29] <gwork> fdafda: try /media/disk, it may well be that /dev/sdc1 is the primary partition you are looking for
[10:29] <cheesypieces> dgjones: ok i'll have a look, thanks
[10:29] <fdafda> gwork: That is a usb stick, sorry for confusion..
[10:30] <dgjones> cheesypieces, it might not be what you need, from memory, people seem to recommend rsync but i've never looked into that myself
[10:30] <gwork> fdafda: okay. then you still have sdb left to try.. try fdisk on /dev/sdb to see if there is any partition on there. Be sure not to remove things!
[10:30] <pocketwatch> i cant ctrl+alt+F1- to get to a terminal screen anymore. the runlevel is correct, any ideas?
[10:31] <pocketwatch> it's a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left
[10:33] <fdafda> gwork: it comes up like this on sdb: http://pastebin.com/d5ebc804f
[10:34] <thyultimate> hello
[10:34] <gwork> fdafda: press m to see the commands. there should be something about printing a list of partitions (i *think* it's P).
[10:34] <thyultimate> i cant switch between workspaces anymore, any idea why?
[10:34] <fdafda> gwork: you are right, it was 'p': http://pastebin.com/d2cc1443c
[10:35] <thyultimate> does anyone know?
[10:36] <thyultimate> :(
[10:36] <pocketwatch> thyultimate: how do you mean?
[10:36] <psavva> check compiz
[10:37] <thyultimate> yep that was it, compiz had stopped, why did it do that without asking?
[10:37] <eckesicle> join #fedora
[10:37] <eckesicle> whoops, sorry
[10:38] <fdafda> gwork: so it somehow needs a new mount-point or how to make it accessible from the current (sda) drive I'm on?
[10:39] <gwork> fdafda: do you get the result you expected?
[10:39] <psavva> no idea thyultimate, i know it causes problems with regards to the amount of desktops you have...
[10:39] <thyultimate> its just 4
[10:39] <black_king> #ubuntu
[10:40] <gwork> fdafda: if you have a partition on, let's say, /dev/sdb1 you want to mount. You can try sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/other_harddisk  (after having created that directory of course)
[10:41] <SyncopatedFoo1> what is a good terminal to use with openbox that i could do transparency on?
[10:42] <fdafda> gwork: it was spinning up, but then terminal crashed
[10:42] <bascule> SyncopatedFoo1: aterm
[10:42] <fdafda> gwork: it worked, I ran it from tty2 instead
[10:43] <fdafda> gwork: awesome job mate, thanks a million for the help, you saved my day..
[10:43] <maximilion> Hi guys :)
[10:43] <gwork> fdafda: your welcome, have fun!
[10:43] <fdafda> :)
[10:43] <SyncopatedFoo1> thanks, also, what's a good irc client to do the same?
[10:43] <bascule> irssi in the aterm

[10:48] <myclug-user> hi
[10:48] <metnumbox> hello everybody ! could someone tell me if the release date for hardy heron is already fixed please ?
[10:49] <maximilion> eckesicle: Someone should change that text. Lots of external card report "sound muted", crossed out volume control, etc. (Which is correct for those since they own volume control, no v.c. in Windows either.) Checking sound 'by double clicking v.c.' could lead to a lot of people with funtioning card will think it's buggy, like I did.
[10:49] <myclug-user> hi

[11:01] <weisskatz> hello everyone
[11:02] <Hadeshorn> i have reinstalled gdm, but still no love
[11:02] <Hadeshorn> the only info i can kinda get from it, is that it doesnt think a monitor is there
[11:02] <bascule> Hadeshorn: say X at a console, what are the last few line (no screens found I suspect)
[11:02] <TheLittlePrince> Does anybody know how to sync Palm PDA(Liefdrive)?
[11:03] <bascule> !palm | TheLittlePrince
[11:03] <ubotu> TheLittlePrince: A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB
[11:03] <ere4si> Hadeshorn, you may need to reinstall your graphics driver - did you take steps before to install it?
[11:03] <Hadeshorn> Bascule: i tried X and it says fatal server error, server is already active for display )
[11:03] <gary4gar> maximilion, open nautilus, type ftp://<hostname>  in address bar
[11:03] <Hadeshorn> ere4si, i have reinstalled the graphics driver. but what would you suggest?
[11:03] <zarnick__> hy all
[11:04] <bascule> Hadeshorn: try alt and arrow, cycle right round all the VTs, if so you need to delete the lock, I'll remember where that is in a minute
[11:04] <zarnick__> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on an AMD64, but It's freezing
[11:04] <Hadeshorn> bascule the lock ix /tmp/.X0-lock
[11:04] <bascule> Hadeshorn: yes, that one :)
[11:04] <zarnick__> it either freezes on the partitioning (formating) or after, if I make manual partition
[11:04] <SyncopatedFoo1> can anyone point me in the direction of a decent howto for configuring the look of aterm?
[11:04] <zarnick__> it's a 160Gb hardrive
[11:05] <bascule> Hadeshorn: could be that it is running on a different output, or thinks it is
[11:05] <ere4si> Hadeshorn, an update can sometimes mean reinstalling drivers - if you had to use restricted drivers before you may need to again.
[11:05] <Hadeshorn> bascule.. lemme reboot into GDM and try the alt arrow thing, maybe that will fix it
[11:05] <zarnick__> can anyone help?
[11:05] <bascule> Hadeshorn: fix it, well it really is to see if it's bound to another VT than F7
[11:06] <zarnick__> please?
[11:06] <opteroN> zarnick__,
[11:06] <maximilion> gary4gar: I'm trying to learn the system, not how to connect to any ftp server. I can do that in Firefox. I've used Places/Connect to server... to create an FTP connection. There's something wrong with it, since it keeps asking for password once a minute.
[11:07] <Hadeshorn> bascule, i am at the black gnome login screen and did the alt right thing, and no other screens are coming up
[11:07] <zarnick__> yes opteroN?
[11:07] <maximilion> How do I go to 'connections manager' or something and remove it and create a new?
[11:07] <opteroN> zarnick__, what is your problem
[11:07] <bascule> man X is so hard to support ... If I was there I would fix it
[11:07] <hend> hi, i am running 7.10. I can not get any tty consoles. Every time I try the screen goes blank and I can not even return to xwindows anymore. Only thing I can do then is reboot. This is a known bug (tho I read others can get back into X) and I have tried all the workarounds I could find (adding fbcon vesafb radeonfb) but nothing worked. Anyone know where I can look for some ideas?
[11:08] <gary4gar> maximilion, try gFTP
[11:08] <gary4gar> !gFTP | maximilion
[11:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gftp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:08] <bascule> !framebuffer
[11:08] <ubotu> Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[11:08] <bascule> hmm
[11:08] <zarnick__> opteroN, I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 on an AMD64, but if I use the default partitioning, it freezes when formating, and If I partition it manually it freezes after installing the system(ie, the install program crashes), it's a 160gb hd
[11:08] <ere4si> hend: is it 32 or 64 bit?
[11:08] <hend> 32bit
[11:09] <maximilion> Nobody here that knows about how to delete/create connections that appears in bookmarks? (Left pane of Nautilus)
[11:09] <Stonekeeper> hi. I have a crappy fakeraid promise controller. i want to use 3 disks in softraid. Can i setup an array on the fakeraid controller then use the disks for softraid? Or is that A Really Bad Idea (TM)?
[11:09] <opteroN> zarnick__, have you tried any other hard drives?
[11:09] <Hadeshorn> bascule, i remove the lock and go X again, and the black screen comes back
[11:09] <bascule> Hadeshorn: black screen?
[11:09] <zarnick__> opteroN, I don't have any other hard drives for testing
[11:10] <opteroN> zarnick__, do you have a thumb drive
[11:10] <Hadeshorn> bascule: as in the TTY disappears and all that appears is a black screen
[11:10] <zarnick__> opteroN, not right now, but I can get one I think, small one
[11:10] <bascule> no cursor? noo background, just a black screen
[11:10] <Hadeshorn> bascule and when I go CTRL, ALT F1 brings up the tty
[11:11] <Hadeshorn> bascule nothing, its just black like night
[11:11] <gary4gar> maximilion, connect the place where you want to bookmark & then Bookmarks > Add Bookmarks
[11:11] <opteroN> zarnick__, i was going to say run the installation off a thumb drive, sounds like it mayb a bad disk, or burn
[11:11] <bascule> Hadeshorn: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf change Driver in Device section to "vesa"
[11:11] <zarnick__> it's the livecd installation
[11:11] <zarnick__> do you think it could be the cd???
[11:12] <opteroN> zarnick__, is it a official cd from ubuntu ?
[11:12] <zarnick__> no
[11:12] <opteroN> or a burnt copy
[11:12] <zarnick__> I've downloaded and burned
[11:12] <zarnick__> from ubuntu
[11:12] <zarnick__> so...burnt copy
[11:12] <opteroN> try reburning the disc at a slower speed
[11:12] <zarnick__> hum...ok
[11:12] <zarnick__> let me grab another cd then
[11:12] <Hadeshorn> bascule: roger
[11:12] <zarnick__> I'll be back to tell how it went ;)
[11:12] <zarnick__> thanks
[11:12] <opteroN> k
[11:12] <bascule> Hadeshorn: try again, just X
[11:13] <zarnick__> this has to work
[11:13] <zarnick__> is my last cd
[11:13] <zarnick__> hehe
[11:13] <bascule> zarnick__: bur in at 8 or 16 speed
[11:13] <zarnick__> 16 is the smallest
[11:14] <Hadeshorn> bascule: changed the driver to vesa and rebooting now
[11:14] <bascule> don't need to reboot
[11:14] <zarnick__> burn in a dvd is out of question right?
[11:14] <bascule> zarnick__: I meant burn at a slower speed
[11:14] <bascule> but you can uses dvd if you like
[11:14] <Hadeshorn> bascule: its doing something
[11:15] <Belisarivs> I'd like to ask something. I and my friend bought same laptop. I use only Ubuntu, he uses Ubuntu and Win XP. When I (or he in Ubuntu) put external speaker into audio out integrated speakers in book don't turn off. But Whne my friend does so in Win XP, it does turn them off.
[11:15] <Belisarivs> How to fix it?
[11:15] <zarnick__> bascule, is on the smallest now
[11:15] <Hadeshorn> bascule: its got a green distortion at the top and the wait cursor is displayed, but then goes back to the black bootup screen
[11:15] <zarnick__> and data checking
[11:15] <bascule> Belisarivs: in power options, tell it to suspend on lid button
[11:16] <bascule> Hadeshorn: something is badly wrong
[11:16] <Hadeshorn> bascule: i will try booting up with the live cd and see if it that boots up
[11:16] <bascule> it will hopefully, not a hardware issue
[11:16] <Belisarivs> bascule: that message wasn't forme, was it?
[11:17] <Hadeshorn> bascule: is this too much of a fuckup to fix.. should i just reinstall ubuntu?
[11:17] <bascule> Belisarivs: yes, hence your name at the front of it :)
[11:17] <bascule> Hadeshorn: no, in live cd copy it's working xorg.conf to the installation one
[11:18] <Hadeshorn> bas ok
[11:18] <Belisarivs> bascule: but I don't have any issue with suspend on lid.
[11:18] <bascule> Belisarivs: it will turn the speakers off though
[11:18] <bascule> :)
[11:19] <Belisarivs> I still don't get it. What if I keep lid open. I wan't to use external speaker while watching movie.
[11:19] <zarnick> opteroN, it burned...now for checking....
[11:20] <bascule> Belisarivs: perhaps I misunderstood, the headphone port doesn't work?
[11:20] <Belisarivs> Nope.
[11:20] <Belisarivs> I want integrated speaker to be turned off when external speaker is put to audio out.
[11:21] <Belisarivs> It works in win, so I'm looking for way to make it working in Linux.
[11:21] <Belisarivs> I'd do google, but I have no Idea where to start
[11:21] <bascule> !alsa
[11:21] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:22] <bascule> there are a few to start with :)
[11:22] <zarnick> now....I'll be back :D
[11:22] <twoheadeddude> i screwd my dualboot.. i had to reinstall windows and now i can't boot linux, how to fix it ?

[11:35] <zarnick> let me check if mkfs, if it's running shouldn't be freezed right?
[11:35] <Suicidal_Failure> Kubuntu_, help what?

[11:36] <Slart> SHMO: ok.. unmount your card.. "sudo umount /media/sda1" and remount it using "sudo mount -t fat /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[11:36] <Kubuntu_> my installation froze durin scanning mirror so i dc net now my drivers are not installed
[11:37] <Kubuntu_> no sound no graphics etc
[11:37] <SHMO> mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat'
[11:37] <SHMO> should i replace fat with msdos
[11:37] <bascule> vfat
[11:37] <Slart> SHMO: try vfat instead
[11:37] <Kubuntu_> ? anyone plz
[11:37] <zarnick> now gnome crashed....I'll try manual partitioning then...:2
[11:37] <zarnick> :@
[11:38] <billenium> How do i make say... /var/www/ be a target folder for like /USER$/Desktop/www? So everything i put in Desktop/www will be in /var/www???
[11:38] <Suicidal_Failure> Kubuntu_, join #kubuntu
[11:38] <Kubuntu_> they are not helping at all
[11:38] <Slart> billenium: man ln
[11:38] <billenium> thanks
[11:39] <Slart> billenium: I'm not screaming RTFM at you.. I just don't remember the syntax... you want a symbolic link
[11:40] <Slart> =)
[11:40] <maximilion> I want to Edit a Bookmark in Nautilus! How? (Verify and Change the path/address!)
[11:40] <billenium> ln /localtion /location/ worked
[11:40] <billenium> lol
[11:41] <Slart> billenium: ok.. you've created a hard link.. I'm not really sure what the difference is.. just so you know
[11:41] <Suicidal_Failure> hard links link inodes
[11:41] <billenium> oh crap
[11:41] <billenium> ...
[11:42] <SHMO> Slart, should i give the directory execute access?
[11:42] <SHMO> it's still not working
[11:42] <SHMO> i tried both vfat and msdos
[11:42] <Slart> SHMO: ok.. if you run "sudo chmod -R a+rw /media/sda1" what does it say?
[11:43] <SHMO> nada
[11:43] <zarnick> ok
[11:43] <zarnick> opteroN, after doing a manual partition, it went on copying the files
[11:44] <zarnick> but after 22% of copying files, it mounted the partitions and crashed
[11:44] <zarnick> the installation program just crashed
[11:44] <SHMO> zarnick, did you defrag?
[11:44] <HangukMiguk> anyone direct me to a good howto for configuring conky?
[11:45] <zarnick> SHMO, it's brand new hd
[11:45] <zarnick> a brand new pc
[11:45] <SHMO> full format?
[11:45] <SHMO> or quick format
[11:45] <isaac> ls
[11:45] <zarnick> the default ubuntu install
[11:45] <zarnick> but I had to repartition the hd
[11:45] <zarnick> if it uses the full 160gb, it just freezes
[11:46] <SHMO> have you tried with 22% partitions?
[11:46] <zarnick> ?
[11:46] <zarnick> no
[11:46] <Slart> SHMO: I'm stumped again.. I don't know if this is due to something weird in your version of ubuntu..
[11:46] <zarnick> I've manually partitioned so it used only 50% of the HD(80Gb), and it went ok on formating
[11:46] <SHMO> Slart, yeah i just thought you might be an ol' schoo' h4x0r
[11:46] <zarnick> but when the install reaches 22%, it just exists
[11:46] <zarnick> mount the system and exists
[11:47] <Slart> SHMO: hehe.. I've only used ubuntu since edgy
[11:47] <opteroN> zarnick__, is it a official cd from ubuntu ?
[11:47] <Slart> SHMO: and debian before that.. but it seems hoary is a different beast
[11:47] <SHMO> Slart, is there any way i can burn a cd direct from ftp?
[11:47] <zarnick> opteroN, I've downloaded and burned
[11:47] <zarnick> again
[11:47] <opteroN> same thing
[11:47] <opteroN> ?
[11:47] <SHMO> yeah i toyed with debian too
[11:47] <zarnick> as you asked
[11:47] <SHMO> debian was my first love
[11:48] <zarnick> I think it wasn't a bad burn after all
[11:48] <Slart> SHMO: I don't think so.. you might look up some other distros... see if there is a smaller one that still works as a live cd
[11:48] <opteroN> might be a incompatibility issue
[11:48] <opteroN> have you tried the ubuntu forums
[11:48] <zarnick> but with what?
[11:48] <zarnick> no
[11:48] <opteroN> that specific hd? not sure i am pretty new to ubuntu myself
[11:48] <SHMO> does debian have a live cd?
[11:49] <SHMO> i know it used to have a live floppy
[11:49] <zarnick> hum...
[11:49] <zarnick> shouldn't be a hd problem
[11:49] <zarnick> let me try running the installation again....who knows?
[11:49] <rhineheart_m> hello. Has apache2 has its own IP address by default?
[11:49] <ere4si> HanguMiguk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&highlight=conky
[11:50] <SHMO> try 21% partitions zarnick
[11:50] <Suicidal_Failure> rhineheart_m, wtf,
[11:50] <Slart> SHMO: I don't know.. check their site
[11:50] <SHMO> then run the ubuntu equiv of norton scandisk
[11:50] <SHMO> Slart, right, this is an ubuntu room
[11:50] <rhineheart_m> what is WTF?
[11:50] <SHMO> wat da *uck
[11:51] <Suicidal_Failure> rhineheart_m,  you know what localhost is?
[11:51] <SHMO> i'd rather burn a copy of ubuntu live cd direct from ftp
[11:51] <SHMO> it can't be that hard to do
[11:51] <SHMO> my internet connection is fast enough to support 2x
[11:51] <zarnick> won't even start
[11:52] <zarnick> I'll try the OEM install as well
[11:52] <osfameron> worth burning fairly slowly -- I found that the shipped CDs were pretty much worthless
[11:52] <zarnick> SHMO, you say to use only 20% of 160GB?
[11:52] <SHMO> zarnick, yeah
[11:52] <zarnick> why?
[11:52] <zarnick> It formated ok
[11:52] <zarnick> with 50%
[11:52] <SHMO> just in case it IS a hdd problem
[11:52] <zarnick> a
[11:52] <zarnick> ok
[11:52] <FloodBot2> zarnick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:52] <SHMO> it might have found a bad sector
[11:52] <SHMO> that format didn't detect
[11:53] <zarnick> i c, ok, I'll try it, if it doesn't help, I can always use manual tools for formating it the real way and  wait for a week or two
[11:53] <rhineheart_m> WHen I set it up here...in my house its IP is <IP_ADDRESS>. but when I transferred it to the network...I could not longer access it <IP_ADDRESS> but instead <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:54] <SHMO> a week or two? shouldn't take less than 3 hours if you use an algorithm
[11:54] <SHMO> i mean if it takes 6 for me
[11:54] <SHMO> for a 320gb
[11:54] <Gemmers> greetings
[11:55] <Gemmers> I have a few concerns about installing GG on an iBook
[11:55] <simi> can i use packages from an older version of ubuntu? if i am using 8.04 can i get some package from 7.10?
[11:55] <SHMO> can i mount an ftp site?
[11:55] <Gemmers> I got a hand me down, but it's only 1.0GHz. it should run, but will it run comfortably?
[11:55] <SHMO> "Gemmers, 1.0GHz should be enough for anybody" -- Bill Gates
[11:56] <Gemmers> It's the 12in iBook, what do you think, will it run comfortably or splutter like an old Mitsubishi
[11:56] <Gemmers> I'm guessing I couldn't run gimp on it though :P
[11:56] <SHMO> with a ram upgrade you might
[11:56] <Gemmers> What I like about the iBook is the design but also the main thing is the battery lief
[11:57] <Gemmers> Does anyone forsee any problems?
[11:57] <Gemmers> Drivers etc?
[11:57] <Gemmers> it's not an intel chip or amd chip
[11:57] <SHMO> well debian was based on the older drivers more than the newer ones
[11:58] <SHMO> what kind then?
[11:58] <zarnick> SHMO, that was the problem, is going now :D If I do a full format of the rest, I can still put it on /home and /usr/local as new partitions right?
[11:58] <Gemmers> what was the G4, power pc chip
[11:58] <Gemmers> Yeah PowerPC G4 chip
[11:58] <SHMO> yeah but if it IS a hdd problem then you won't be able to mount all the remaining partitions, or, if you can, i wouldn't use them for sensitive data
[11:59] <zarnick> hum...shouldn't a full format take care of it?
[11:59] <SHMO> Gemmers, would OS X run on that?
[11:59] <Gemmers> Yeah apparently it's running OX x
[11:59] <SHMO> i'd keep the OS X if i were you
[11:59] <SHMO> but if you really love ubuntu
[12:00] <SHMO> then i'd try
[12:00] <sunseeker888> HI guys, I have installed a Pci wireless network card, where do i do to select thiis wireless options
[12:00] <SHMO> try and get the original OS X cd/dvd with it
[12:00] <Gemmers> Yeah all there
[12:00] <Gemmers> I don't really like the apple OS
[12:00] <sunseeker888> I booted the first time and ubuntu did not see wifi card
[12:01] <tot1> maybe you need to enable it by hand
[12:01] <metnumbox> for my wifi card i had to install the firmware by hand
[12:01] <sunseeker888> how to enable wifi card?
[12:02] <sweetsinse> the best way
[12:02] <SHMO> Slart, you still around?
[12:02] <Slart> yup
[12:02] <metnumbox> check the chipset of your card then google
[12:02] <Gemmers> SHMO do you think OS X is better than Ubuntu
[12:02] <SHMO> is it possible to mount an ftp directiroy
[12:03] <SHMO> no comment, Gemmers
[12:03] <Gemmers> Because to be honest, using both, I've preferred ubuntu
[12:03] <blackest> I have a scanner part of a multifunction printer I can scano  as root but as a user i get core dumps instead anyone know how to fix this?
[12:03] <Slart> SHMO: not that I know of.. I don't think ftp is really meant for random access
[12:03] <sunseeker888> metnumbox: i ordered a card for linux compatible
[12:03] <SHMO> so i would need execute access on an ftp?
[12:03] <metnumbox> you will find the firmware for your card on some specific sites
[12:04] <Gemmers> Am I just wasting my time, still 1.0GHz is really low
[12:04] <Slart> SHMO: seems there is something called fuseftp
[12:04] <metnumbox> even with some linux compatible cards you may need a firmware ! is it pcmcia or integrated
[12:05] <SHMO> can you give me the rpm link
[12:05] <Slart> SHMO: places->connect to server might do the trick
[12:05] <Slart> SHMO: what was way to easy =)
[12:05] <Slart> *that
[12:05] <rvalles> Gemmers: 1GHz is just a clock frequency; barely related to performance.
[12:05] <Gemmers> So what, ram is the more important figure
[12:05] <Gemmers> I think we can update it to a max of 640mb
[12:06] <Gemmers> I suppose I could find another 256MB DDR stick to join the other
[12:06] <pavi> fgh
[12:06] <sunseeker888> metn it's a wireless pci lan adapter,
[12:06] <Gemmers> But installing it on this PowerPC chip, is it more difficult than installing it on an intel or amd based machine
[12:07] <Slart> Gemmers: I'd say memory is more important.. gnome is a bit of a elephant... but try xubuntu
[12:07] <darknature> how do i find out how much video memory ubuntu is using?
[12:07] <Gemmers> Difference is only graphical right, basically more stripped down
[12:07] <Slart> Gemmers: I'm running xubuntu on a mini-itx motherboard.. I think it's 700Mhz or something
[12:07] <tzu3l> hello, anyone experiencing problems with debootstrap aswell?
[12:07] <Slart> Gemmers: same amount of software.. but the window-manager is smaller.. uses less memory etc
[12:07] <Gemmers> It's not so much asking whether I could run ubuntu on it, more so could I run ubuntu on the machine comfortably
[12:07] <blackest> Gemmers more ram is always nice. I prefer at least 512 my servers i prefer more 756 or a gig
[12:08] <Gemmers> know what I mean
[12:08] <sunseeker888> metnumber : /RT61_Linux_STA_Drv<IP_ADDRESS>, thta's the divers, but i am a newbie, i do not know how to install drivers
[12:08] <Slart> Gemmers: I'd say yes, if you skip compiz and such..
[12:08] <Gemmers> Well I use a windows based PC which is quite tough, but the idea of a funky laptop for uni with good battery life and not paying for software sounds like instant win
[12:09] <Gemmers> Compiz?
[12:09] <SHMO> Slart, can live cds burn cds?
[12:09] <SHMO> even if i have an external burner?
[12:09] <Gemmers> So I'll buy another stick of ram, but even then, cross fingers touch wood, I should expect much
[12:09] <Slart> Compiz=the cube.. the burning windows.. things zooming around in 3d
[12:09] <Gemmers> Oh I want that :P
[12:09] <DareDevill> how much speed (on an ircd) does 1 chat users consumes?
[12:09] <Slart> SHMO: I would think so.. depending on who made it of course..
[12:09] <blackest> Gemmers install system monitor to your top menu bar and monitor the swap usage. if your not really using the swop file you have enough ram
[12:10] <pdowling> Hello, can anyone help me get compiz working with an ATi Radeon X1950 GT card running the current 'Restricted Driver' ?
[12:10] <SHMO> LG - one of the biggest weapons manufacturers in its time made my burner
[12:10] <darknature> how do i find out how much video memory ubuntu is using?
[12:10] <pdowling> LG manufactures weapons?
[12:11] <SHMO> pdowling, they would deny it now
[12:11] <pdowling> SHMO: any evidence?
[12:11] <SHMO> pdowling, i'm sure there's some 'stamps' around on the black market...

[12:12] <SHMO> pdowling, i'm not at liberty to say
[12:12] <otfu> why does the /cow directory not appear on ubuntu?
[12:12] <SHMO> this is after all a public chat room

 LG - one of the biggest weapons manufacturers in its time made my burner | I heard lucky goldstar made weapons
[12:13] <Gemmers> Didn't believe it at first but wouldn't surprise me now
[12:13] <SHMO> i haven't heard of lucky goldstar
[12:13] <ubuntu_> hi how do i get rid of the grub bootloader
[12:13] <SHMO> which country are they from?
[12:13] <Gemmers> So SHMO have you heard of any issues using ubuntu on an ibook
[12:14] <Slart> otfu: cow?
[12:14] <Gemmers> Australia, Lucky Goldstar is LG's old name
[12:14] <ubuntu_> i had vista installed and now installed kubuntu but i wanna get rid of linux and just have vista how can i do this
[12:14] <SHMO> Gemmers, i haven't heard of any issues using os x on an ibook
[12:14] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, format boot partition
[12:14] <otfu> Slart referring to the unionfs file system and /proc/mount showing cow, yet it not actually existing
[12:14] <ubuntu_> format which boot partiton linux one.?
 Gemmers, i haven't heard of any issues using os x on an ibook | Trying not use os x :P,
[12:14] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, duh
[12:15] <ubuntu_> how do i go about this though
[12:15] <otfu> Slart ohh and this is probably only true when booting from the live cd
[12:15] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, read
[12:15] <Slart> otfu: ah.. was thinking about trying unionfs.. never got around to it though.. I have no idea why the cow is hiding
[12:15] <ubuntu_> read what
[12:15] <SHMO> Slart, how do i burn a cd through bash?
[12:15] <Slart> SHMO: hang on.. I had a link for that
[12:15] <no0tic> SHMO, wodim
[12:15] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, boot a live cd, then use fdisk, then format the partition
[12:15] <otfu> Slart mount does not show it either
[12:15] <ubuntu_> whats fdisk
[12:16] <ubuntu_> i am very new to linux sorry
[12:16] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, ok youre on your own from here
[12:16] <ubuntu_> please jst tell me
[12:16] <SHMO> or just put in the vista dvd and install it off boot
[12:16] <tzu3l> are the packages on nl.archive.ubuntu.com corrupted? my debootstrap seems to think so. any suggestions?
[12:16] <Faust-C> ausies dont know nothing
[12:17] <SHMO> wat
[12:17] <SHMO> what's wodim
[12:17] <ubuntu_> if i have deleted a partition without formattin it will it get rid of grub or i must formatt it
[12:17] <Faust-C> SHMO, https://wiki.penguinslair.org/index.php/Command_line_Burning
[12:18] <SHMO> ty Faust-C
[12:18] <otfu> the /mount/proc has three entries for cow, does this mean anything to anybody? trying to figure out why it is 'hidden' tmpfs /cow tmpfs rw,noatime 0 0              unionfs / unionfs rw,noatime,dirs=/cow=rw:/rofs=ro,debug=4294967295,delete=whiteout 0 0                  unionfs /dev/.static/dev unionfs rw,noatime,dirs=/cow=rw:/rofs=ro,debug=4294967295,delete=whiteout 0 0
[12:18] <Faust-C> SHMO, well i see that he hasnt gotten back to you yet
[12:18] <zarnick> SHMO, if I run the /sbin/badblocks on the hardrive, and it shows no bad blocks, could the program be missinforming?
[12:18] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: Read more about Ubuntu and format the Vista partition instead
[12:18] <jesse__> ubuntu_: if you want to remove linux, boot into the Ubuntu livecd, run gparted and delete the partition (and the linux-swap partition if present), then resize windows to occupy the entire drive. once linux is gone, boot into your Windows installation CD and go to the recovery prompt, and issue the command FIXMBR.
[12:18] <SHMO> so Faust was a dictator right?
[12:19] <SHMO> or some kind of philosopher?
[12:19] <SHMO> rings a bell
[12:19] <Gemmers> SHMO Slart and others thanks for the help guys
[12:19] <Gemmers> I'll give it a try
[12:19] <Slart> SHMO: here you are... command line burning, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvdBurning
[12:19] <SHMO> cool Gemmers
[12:19] <Faust-C> SHMO, yeah, sold his soul for knowledge
[12:19] <Gemmers> but not sure it'll work
[12:19] <Slart> Gemmers: you're welcome
[12:19] <Gemmers> Will post results for others to see, the iBook isn't in best cond tho
[12:20] <ubuntu_> the vista cd does not have a recovery option u can only fresh install

[12:20] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: Try pressing F8 while booting Vista
[12:20] <SHMO> use cds or dvds or memory cards/sticks to backup
[12:21] <ubuntu_> now when i boot it says grub loader error and get nothing
[12:21] <b4l74z4r> has anyone noticed that opera has beefier fonts than firefox?
[12:21] <ubuntu_> since the partitions are gone
[12:21] <SHMO> font smoothing is a nice feature of opera
[12:21] <ikonia> beefier ?
[12:21] <otfu> i support piracy - now if only Britain had successfully wiped it out a hundred years ago.
[12:21] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: F8 during Vista boot will send you to a "restore window"
[12:21] <ikonia> !offtopic > otfu
[12:22] <ubuntu_> vista boot as in cd boot
[12:22] <b4l74z4r> the fonts are thicker
[12:22] <b4l74z4r> and clearer
[12:22] <SHMO> yes ubuntu_
[12:22] <ubuntu_> thanks
[12:22] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_ Did you just remove the partitions? Then try going in to the BIOS and boot  selector and choose the hard drice (c:\)
[12:22] <Jonathan_L> It may work to boot Vista
[12:22] <zofa> hi all
[12:23] <DigitalKitty> Say you were given these tools, a cat 5 lan connection, a laptop, no cd drive, and a 512 meg pendrive. Then say you wanted to play around with Compiz Fusion for the evening in a live envoirnment. What would you do?
[12:23] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: But try the CD too
[12:23] <ubuntu_> thanks guys
[12:23] <DigitalKitty> are there any under 512 meg live distros around with fusion in them?
[12:23] <Pici> DigitalKitty: Try asking in ##linux or #compiz-fusion
[12:24] <Jonathan_L> DigitalKitty: What laptop OS?
[12:24] <ikonia> DigitalKitty compiz is hunrgy I don't adsise running it from a lice cd
[12:24] <ikonia> live cd even
[12:24] <DigitalKitty> oh, I was just looking to give it a shot, see if I like it
[12:24] <DigitalKitty> Thaks for your suggestion Pici
[12:26] <SHMO> Slart,
[12:26] <Slart> shmo, yes?
[12:26] <SHMO> i get this for dmesg
[12:26] <SHMO> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55720/
[12:27] <Slart> do you have an empty cd inthe drive?
[12:27] <SHMO> no
[12:27] <SHMO> should that make a difference?
[12:28] <SHMO> the ubuntu cd is in the drive atm
[12:28] <Slart> I don't know. .but it's complaining that it can't find block 0.. and without a cd in there that might not be very surprising
[12:28] <Slart> ah.. then.. well... I guess ubuntu doesn't like your cd-drive
[12:28] <SHMO> great
[12:29] <SHMO> well the ubuntu cd is in the drive atm
[12:29] <SHMO> and it booted from it fine
[12:29] <SHMO> will it burn from a live cd?
[12:30] <kyr> join #mixxx
[12:30] <alanbshepard70> The other day I came here to fix my ipod not mounting automatically when it's plugged in and not only is that still the case but I've discovered that CDs and floppies don't mount either. I can manually mount all these items but they fail to mount on their own as they used to. Does anyone have a fix?
[12:30] <Slart> I seem to recall something about it being hard to use the cd for anything else when you've booted off it
[12:30] <SHMO> Slart, but not impossible?
[12:31] <Slart> SHMO: I don't know.. I've never really tried myself
[12:32] <SHMO> worth the try
[12:32] <sweetsinse> whats the best video editor

[12:32] <zoobox> where are the colors for ls in the command line window set?
[12:32] <zoobox> one of my directories here is listed with som kind of bluegrey (I think) against dark green.. completely impossible to se what it says.  Ask the channel your question and see who answers.
[12:37] <Schmao-Fmao> Hey there.  Suppose I want to completely duplicate my Ubuntu operating system onto another hard disk (I'm swapping out a 250GB HD for a 500GB HD)
[12:37] <RaDiO-Dj> i canot see nick list
[12:37] <SHMO> Schmao-Fmao, so you want to ghost the network?
[12:37] <dgjones> !cloning | Schmao-Fmao
[12:37] <ubotu> Schmao-Fmao: 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
[12:37] <zoobox> SHMO: yes I am using ls -alF (and the folder with colros that is hard to read is a folder that starts with a  .)
[12:37] <RaDiO-Dj> i want to see it
[12:37] <kahrytan> Schmao-Fmao->  or just make a backup of ~/user
[12:38] <Schmao-Fmao> SHMO and dgjones, I have lots of stuff on there that aren't packages and don't belong in /home :)
[12:38] <RaDiO-Dj> pffffff
[12:38] <Faust-C> Schmao-Fmao, imho never use a huge hdd as a primary drive
[12:38] <Schmao-Fmao> I was thinking I would copy over the folders bin, etc, home, sbin, srv, var...
[12:38] <zoobox> (and yes, it whould be completely superugly to have to copy things from terminal to a texteditor just to be able to read them)
[12:38] <Faust-C> Schmao-Fmao, ghost the drive if thats what you really wanna do
[12:39] <Schmao-Fmao> Ghost as in, the Norton program?
[12:39] <Faust-C> Schmao-Fmao, as in sec lemme get link
[12:39] <SHMO> Schmao-Fmao, uhm, sure, why not
[12:39] <Schmao-Fmao> SHMO: I don't know how many folders I should copy for it to constitute the entire operating system.  I know I can't copy over /boot, /dev, and /proc
[12:40] <Schmao-Fmao> and I can't use "dd" and "cat" because the hard disks are different size
[12:40] <chris062689> I love my EeePC :)

[12:40] <SHMO> Schmao-Fmao, maybe format a 250gb partition
[12:41] <SHMO> to the exact size of your old hd
[12:41] <Faust-C> DareDevill, fw, etcetc
[12:41] <DareDevill> Faust-C what?
[12:41] <sunseeker888_> Hi guys I am newbie, I have just downloaded this file rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz to my desktop. if i unpack the files where will the directory be created, do i need to specifcy a directory
[12:41] <Faust-C> DareDevill, fw, man basic stuff, read
[12:42] <SHMO> yeah man yeah
[12:42] <Schmao-Fmao> SHMO, that could work. :)  The OS and software shouldn't sit on the same partition as /home anyway
[12:42] <SHMO> man oh man

[12:49] <SHMO> not kubuntu
[12:49] <SHMO> what's kubuntu?
[12:49] <Schmao-Fmao> You can mount manually, right?
[12:49] <craftyowl> kde version of ubuntu
[12:49] <SHMO> i can mount but can't write access
[12:49] <Schmao-Fmao> Or is it a matter of convenience?

[12:49] <craftyowl> no it is telling me it cant mount them

[12:49] <Schmao-Fmao> are you using the command as sudo?
