[10:19] <AlfredE_Neumann> I have a samll question directed towards Open source developers..
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> !ot | AlfredE_Neumann
[10:20] <dwarder> is it possible to not turn off notebook speakers when i plug jack in.
[10:20] <dwarder> ?
[10:23] <Xcell> is ufw better than firestarter?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: its all a matter of personal taste
[10:23] <avortaste> giorno
[10:23] <Xcell> ah
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: if one was superior it would not be implemented as both are free of charge so we would ALL use the better one.
[10:24] <Desen> I have installed LinuxDC and i cannot download nor upload anything, using ACTIVE connection within DC option. Must i set it for Passive ? i am using UFW firewall. Or should i set ACTIVE and manually assign ports, and add those ports as an exceptions in UFW ?
[10:24] <solid_liq> jove: you may have to  aptitude install unrar  first
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: but one ISNT better than the other so both exist equally
[10:24] <POPEYE> where can i find mounted drives in ubuntu 8.10? mnt is empty
[10:24] <jaypete1> does anyone know a simple way i could monitor my network connection, and to run a script if it disconnects/reconnects?
[10:25] <blackdemon> POPEYE: /media
[10:25] <wlodi> POPEYE: in /media
[10:25] <Xcell> I have not used ufw as yet.. ill google reviews...thanks.
[10:28] <jaggy> hey, is there a linux/ubuntu alternative for windows publisher???
[10:28] <POPEYE> And where is information about the mounting is stored - fstab is empty
[10:28] <irmandos> How can i get emerald to load as default instead of running emerald --force
[10:30] <blackdemon> POPEYE: some info is in /proc/mounts, but it is in a more readable form if you just type "mount" ;)
[10:30] <Mewtwo> Nasty issue: libstdc++6-4.0-dev requires g++, g++ requires libstdc++6-4.0-dev
[10:30] <irmandos> An anyone help please?
[10:30] <Mewtwo> I can't install either, they require each other.
[10:31] <irmandos> Try just downloading them first
[10:31] <Xcell> jaggy--  scribus
[10:31] <POPEYE> as there is no info in fstab i can't just type mount
[10:31] <Mewtwo> irmandos: I did - I have to install them manually through debs, as I can't yet get online under Ubuntu
[10:32] <irmandos> Copy them to your apt cache and then try installing them
[10:32] <Mewtwo> apt cache?
[10:32] <brEz-> hello!
[10:33] <Mewtwo> not... sure where that is.
[10:33] <SiDi> Hello, does anyone mind pastebin'ing his menu.lst, please ? i lost mine
[10:34] <brEz-> question: I run a program on linux, that was built for windows initially, but now also has linux support - the default beahviour of the perogram is to go to the "notification area" when minimized on windows; however when I do this on on ubuntu, it acts the same, but I can't see the icon. I have to kill the process and restart the program again
[10:35] <ikonia> brEz-: what program
[10:35] <brEz-> It's a 2-D game I play.
[10:35] <ikonia> brEz-: what program
[10:35] <axsd9d> did u check on the upper right coener of your panel
[10:35] <brEz-> Yup, it wasn't there.
[10:35] <ikonia> brEz-: what program
[10:35] <brEz-> ikonia: I said, it's a 2D game I play.
[10:36] <ikonia> brEz-: what program
[10:36] <SiDi> brEz-: check appdb.winehq.org for your program, to see if it's known to work well
[10:36] <wlodi> how can I ignore join and quit messages on this channel?
[10:36] <axsd9d> left?
[10:36] <ikonia> brEz-: what is the name of the program / where did you get it
[10:36] <edgex-_> wlodi, client?
[10:36] <irmandos> Mewtwo /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:36] <wlodi> xchat
[10:36] <Mewtwo> irmandos: and just try to apt-get one?
[10:36] <brEz-> ikonia: it's called spark, a clone of Siera's game A.R.C
[10:36] <irmandos> Yip
[10:36] <brEz-> I got it from spark-hq.net
[10:37] <edgex-_> wlodi, right click on this channel in the pane/list you have with all the channels/networks you are connected to
[10:37] <Mewtwo> alright, brb then
[10:37] <brEz-> played it for about 5 years.
[10:37] <irmandos> Okay
[10:37] <edgex-_> Then Settings -> Hide join/part messages
[10:37] <TheShahFactor> Which is the nicest Linux distro in your opinion?
[10:37] <ikonia> brEz-: where did you get it ?
[10:37] <edgex-_> TheShahFactor, what's better..coke or pepsi
[10:37] <ikonia> TheShahFactor: our opinion doesn't matter - yours does, you make your own mind up
[10:37] <brEz-> ikonia: spark-hq.net
[10:37] <magnetron> TheShahFactor→ Ubuntu.
[10:37] <edgex-_> It's really a matter of personal preference
[10:37] <thht> TheShahFactor: Ubuntu
[10:38] <wlodi> edex-_: thx, god I'm dumb:)
[10:38] <TheShahFactor> magnetron thht : what difference
[10:38] <sejo> libgomp.so.1: shared object cannot be dlopen()ed - /opt/ruby-enterprise/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.9.1/lib/RMagick2.so ubuntu hardy install
[10:38] <sejo> someone knows how to fix it?
[10:38] <magnetron> TheShahFactor→ we both said ubuntu, there's no difference
[10:38] <TheShahFactor> magnetron : from other distros obv :)
[10:38] <Xcell> wlodi   you could also google lemmings script for linux... it has good features
[10:39] <ikonia> brEz-: looking at the contents of the zip file for the linux version, it doesn't appear to be "desktop" aware, which is why you're not seeing it in your desktop when minimised
[10:39] <wlodi> Xcell: thx, I'll do that
[10:39] <ikonia> brEz-: I'd ask the spark support process
[10:39] <Xcell> wlodi--  works great.. lemmings xchst script for linux
[10:39] <brEz-> ikonia: thanks for looking into it, I've tried - there response is "it works"
[10:39] <Xcell> xchat^
[10:40] <thht> TheShahFactor: Ubuntu is easy to use(esp for beginners), it's fast and has superior support
[10:40] <brEz-> ikonia: the whole community runs windows, there is only few who have linux.
[10:40] <ikonia> brEz-: maybe explain it a little more detail, eg: the desktop your using, the distro, the versions, even to the point of the theme you're using
[10:40] <TheShahFactor> thht: yes you are right , i have tried fedora and suse but ubuntu seems much better
[10:41] <brEz-> I'm using Ubuntu Intrepid / GUI desktop / No theme
[10:41] <ikonia> brEz-: no, I mean explain to them
[10:41] <brEz-> they wouldn't know
[10:41] <ikonia> brEz-: if you log the bug they can investigate
[10:41] <brEz-> I've known these guys for along time :)
[10:41] <brEz-> they're windows ppl :)
[10:42] <ikonia> someone must make the linux port
[10:42] <TheShahFactor> any vis-a-vis comparison between various linux distros
[10:42] <thht> TheShahFactor: if you're looking for Ubuntu with long-time support, consider using Ubuntu LTS server edition(5 years of support)
[10:42] <brEz-> one of there friends made it linux friendly, who doesn't even play the game
[10:42] <ikonia> TheShahFactor: distrowatch.com
[10:42] <brEz-> it's a tight community
[10:42] <ikonia> brEz-: game over then
[10:42] <brEz-> that's why I've come on here :P
[10:42] <ikonia> TheShahFactor: please try to keep in mind this channel is for ubuntu discussion only
[10:42] <brEz-> It's funny though, cause other users of the game that use Ubuntu say they dont have the problem
[10:43] <ikonia> it doesn't appear desktop aware to me
[10:43] <brEz-> well, is there anyway to make the process "appear" again, after I minimize it?
[10:43] <ikonia> not if it's not desktop aware
[10:44] <brEz-> hrmm
[10:45] <Mewtwo> Didn't work.
[10:46] <sejo> how to find the package file X belongs to?
[10:46] <Saouka> Can someone help me with a bootable iso using mkisofs?
[10:46] <Mewtwo> irmandos, didn't work (just repeating for highlight, in case...)
[10:47] <Sirus1984> does ubuntu support integrated camera in laptops?
[10:47] <ikonia> yes
[10:47] <jaggy> yes sirex`
[10:47] <jaggy> yes Sirus1984 *
[10:47] <irmandos> Mewtwo do u have all other depandancies satisfied?
[10:47] <Mewtwo> Yeah, I do
[10:48] <Sirus1984> automatically detect?
[10:48] <ikonia> Sirus1984: if it's a supported device, yes
[10:48] <wlodi> Sirus1984: depends on a web cam
[10:48] <Sirus1984> whats the siftware app called for it?
[10:48] <irmandos> Then I'm not sure how to help u mewtwo sorry
[10:49] <ne2k__> there's doesn't appear to be a ubuntu package for Net::SSH::Perl.  Also, some applications can't support the image formats output by some cameras.
[10:50] <irmandos> Mewtwo sorry man
[10:50] <Mewtwo> meh, XP's good enough :/

[11:06] <bredoto> hia
[11:06] <tea_ovedose> hi, How to completely remove deluge ?
[11:06] <gilberto> ciauz
[11:07] <xiU> hello
[11:07] <xiU> i have just a small question :P
[11:08] <basileus> xiU: go ahead
[11:09] <xiU> is it possible to connect to an exchange 2007 server with evolution mail ? I'm a newbie in Ubuntu and google didn't help me
[11:09] <bredoto> I have few questions about configuring pptpd ? does anybody know how what iptables rules i must setup on my vpn server for corect redirecting traffic between eth0 (outbound) and ppp* (internal network)
[11:10] <bredoto> ups
[11:10] <iceroot> tea_ovedose: installed with apt-get?
[11:11] <oCean_> xiU: I think so, at least there is the servertype option "MS Exchange" when setting up a new account
[11:11] <xiU> that's right
[11:12] <tea_ovedose> iceroot: via .deb I'd unisntalled it via S.P.M but there's still alot of trash left behind
[11:12] <xiU> but this option only supports ms exchange 2000 to 2003
[11:12] <xiU> not 2007
[11:12] <xiU> that's my problem :\
[11:12] <oCean_> xiU: it definitely supports IMAP, in case the exchangeserver has enabled IMAP, you can use that as well
[11:12] <iceroot> tea_ovedose: sudo apt-get purge paketae will remove the program and all of its config
[11:12] <xiU> imap isn't enabled, I think
[11:12] <iceroot> tea_ovedose: sudo apt-get purge programname will remove the program and all of its config
[11:12] <bredoto> !dns
[11:13] <tea_ovedose> iceroot: k imma gonna try
[11:13] <Omeil> !lirc
[11:13] <oCean_> xiU: which version (evo) ?
[11:13] <tibor> sziasztok
[11:13] <Omeil> !remote
[11:13] <micahf> hello, is there a way to upgrade dependencies for a specific package?
[11:13] <xiU> ahhm
[11:14] <tea_ovedose> iceroot: what's the exact command to do it ? sudo apt-get remove deluge --purge ?
[11:14] <xiU> just wait a sec please
[11:14] <tibor> tudna vki segíteni?
[11:14] <xiU> I have the version 2.24.3
[11:14] <iceroot> tea_ovedose: sudo apt-get purge programname
[11:14] <odder> !it > tibor
[11:15] <iceroot> tea_ovedose: sudo apt-get purge deluge (if deluge is the programname)
[11:15] <Omeil> Anyone know what the command is to run lirc config?
[11:15] <micahf> iceroot: is there a function like the opposite of purge which will reinstall an application and all of its dependencies?
[11:15] <oCean_> xiU: see this link on Evolution site: http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#Why_can.27t_I_connect_to_Exchange.3F
[11:16] <oCean_> xiU: claims it is possible using a plugin (no experience on that, i'm using IMAP to fetch my mail)
[11:17] <xiU> i downloaded brutus
[11:17] <xiU> how to install it ? :x
[11:17] <tea_ovedose> iceroot: "couldn't find the package"
[11:18] <oCean_> xiU: sorry, no clue. Must be some docu on that site?
[11:18] <rishi> hi all

[12:01] <Shhhhhz> :/
[12:01] <grawity> ActionParsnip: Pidgin: 1) is annoying when someone CTCPs you. 2) Can't ignore NickServ "LOGIN NAO" notices.  4) Doesn't support /stats, /oper, /map, /links, and many other commands.
[12:01] <mopoyo> ActionParsnip: please...
[12:01] <Bram_P> hello, is ubuntu also very user friendly for people that are new to computers (family of mine) or is there a more user friendly OS?
[12:01] <grawity> Shhhhhz: You were connected through Mibbit, I guess.
[12:01] <Shhhhhz> lol
[12:02] <Pingviller26> clau30: do I need the "search example.com" line or is it ok with just "nameserver ip.#.#.#" one after another on a new line?
[12:02] <Shhhhhz> Bram_P: No ubuntu is for geeks :)
[12:02] <Neremor> i've upgraded my kubuntu to jaunty an hour ago (i think the desktop environment isn't relevant for my problem). During the upgrade, i was told that the fglrx driver for my ati card isn't supported in jaunty and that it will be uninstalled. i proceeded the installation and everything finished all right. i rebooted and, like i expected from ubuntu, everything worked perfectly. except fglrx, that was uninstalled. i was using the mesa driver as
[12:02] <Neremor> default, and a look into my xorg.conf told me, that my very big xorg.conf i had befor the upgrade was deleted and replaced by a very simple one. So, i tried to install fglrx again with "sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver-xorg"... It installed and i replaced the "Driver "ati"" in the xorg.conf with "Driver "fglrx"", like i had to in intrepid... I rebooted the system. The system crashes when it tries to show kdm. The keyboard is unusable (no
[12:02] <Neremor> pushs accepted) and the display shows a complete mess of multi-colored lines and kubuntu-logos. The only thing i can do is using the power-button on my pc. the question is: Do i have to configure anything else to use fglrx? or at least: is it supported right now? I need the driver, because (k)ubuntu is really slow without it... thanks in advance for your help :)
[12:02] <Pingviller26> geeks are good
[12:02] <blackdemon> just nameserver ip
[12:02] <FloodBot1> Neremor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:03] <POPEYE> so where from I can get rules which uses gnome to mount volumies?
[12:03] <blackdemon> Pingviller: the search line is when you are in a domain where the hostname can't be resolved, then it will try the hostname and at the example.com ...
[12:03] <Shhhhhz> GIYF = google is your friend...
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> grawity: i have nickserv login mesages ignore, i dont read the log files, i dont use those commands
[12:03] <grawity> bazhang: he was already pointing people to Google.
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> grawity: keep trying
[12:04] <jrib> POPEYE: don't know, but why?
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> grawity: i log in, and type text, and recieve text. Thats what irc is
[12:04] <grawity> ActionParsnip: Well, I do use those commands, and I do need to chat with NickServ occassionally.

[12:05] <WERDER|iceroot> ActionParsnip: sounds like bitlbee
[12:06] <mopoyo> ActionParsnip: i reinstalled ALSA but sound still doesn't work
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> grawity: and for looks, pidgin obeys gtk themes so its down to your desktop to draw it and skin it, so it integrates nicely with the rest of the desktop
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> mopoyo: then i have no idea
[12:06] <mopoyo> wtf
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> mopoyo: if you run  lspci you will see what your soundcard is, websearch from that]
[12:06] <POPEYE> of cource I can edit fstab by myself but I am not very good in it's rules
[12:07] <POPEYE> so i would like to import mount settings from gnome to fstab but can't find them

[12:08] <Shhhhhz> better no not by a long shot
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> mopoyo: do a clean install of windows on most systems and half the hardware wont run out of the box, it takes a little effort
[12:08] <grawity> Shhhhhz: It also depends on what you mean by "better". --> #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:09] <Shhhhhz> gah

[12:18] <BOZG> fore:  Sorry, gave you the wrong package name.  ActionParnsnip gave you the right one.
[12:18] <mike12> does anybody know if a cure to conficker has been made
[12:18] <POPEYE> blackdemon: no, I am not very good in it, in previous versions of ubuntu it was allready configured, but in 8.10 not... But gnome somehow knows how to mount, so I would like to import gnome rules to fstab... Is it possible?
[12:19] <BOZG> ActionParsnip:  Was the package called ccsm at some point?
[12:19] <fore> compizconfig-settings-manager is already the newest version.
[12:20] <blackdemon> POPEYE, I don't have anu experience with import from gnome mounts, but /etc/fstab isn't that hard
[12:20] <blackdemon> you can base yourself on the rules that are already in there
[12:20] <fore> imports?like from a network ?
[12:20] <BOZG> fore: Go to System->Preferences->CCSM
[12:20] <BOZG> Or whatever it's called.
[12:20] <BOZG> Try looking through the options.
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> BOZG: no, the package provides the ccsm app
[12:21] <blackdemon> POPEYE, and for more diskspace, you can try "apt-get clean"
[12:21] <BOZG> And testing out some of the options.  The keys for enabling should be under each option.
[12:21] <Dillizar> how can i enter my grub settings if my grub is 0sec??
[12:21] <blackdemon> it will remove the .deb files of the packages you installed ...
[12:21] <BOZG> ActionParnsip: Fair enough.  I thought I just normally installed ccsm, rather than compiz-settings....
[12:21] <Omeil> Just a question iin ubuntu 9.04 with ext4 i will have to format my whole partition?
[12:22] <mopoyo> GAAAAAAAAAAH

[13:04] <ActionParsnip> hossan: use /join #<channel name>
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: then you need the package that gives that file
[13:05] <anybody> I have a question regarding Ubuntu 9.04 beta - If I install 9.04 beta now and 9.04 final comes out in ~2 weeks, will I need to change anything to make the beta a final, or will it be automatically updated with final packages from the update source ?
[13:05] <anybody> i.e.: will I need to manually change repositories or manually need to upgrade it to "9.04 final" ?
[13:05] <hossan> yes I tried connecting to irc.netsplit.ne
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: sudo apt-get install apt-file; sudo apt-file update; sudo apt-file search libsmpeg-0.4.so.0
[13:05] <hossan> but i;m not getting connected to the server
[13:05] <ActiveFrost>  How to make Python ( py ) file executable ( double-click) ?
[13:05] <D4T> hi chaps, how much faster (CPU and I/O wise) is a 64bit build vs 32bit ? Is there a rough percentage?
[13:05] <LargePrime> ActionParsnip: i can search synaptic right?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> ActiveFrost: chmod +x <script>
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: no, that searches for packages only, you need that library so apt-file is needed so you know which package to install
[13:06] <psychomantis> hey guys
[13:07] <sKeith> never knew about apt-file before. very handy AP
[13:07] <psychomantis> wha
[13:07] <ActiveFrost> ActionParsnip: tried it - on doubleclick it just opens OpenOffice and shows the source code !
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> ActiveFrost: is the top line: #!/bin/python
[13:08] <Titan8990> ActionParsnip, /usr/bin/python
[13:08] <grawity> ActionParsnip: I think it should be /usr/bin/python
[13:08] <Titan8990> ActionParsnip, or in some places more accepted: /usr/bin/env python
[13:08] <LargePrime> ActionParsnip: should i pastebin the output?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Titan8990: ah, ok
[13:09] <ActiveFrost> ActionParsnip: #!/usr/bin/env python ( that's the same ? ).
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> ActiveFrost: #!/usr/bin/python
[13:09] <Titan8990> ActiveFrost, yes, that is the same
[13:10] <LargePrime> ActionParsnip: more generically, should i have to do this with every 'nix package i wish to run?
[13:11] <kaptengu> can anyone tell me how to get network-manager to work with my bridged connection so I can use it to set up vpn-connections easily?
[13:11] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: no, just that you are using an unzipped app instead of a properly installed package so you will get this if you dont find a proper repository
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: its very rare to do what you are doing
[13:12] <LargePrime> ActionParsnip: i am kind of a rare fellow... should i pastebin the output?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> ActiveFrost: you could end the file with .py then associate that file type with the python binary
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: sure
[13:13] <nosy> I'm ussing checkinstall but I get an error: chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/bin/#INST@25958#':
[13:14] <aar> Hi, what's the most efficient way of moving a very large file to a windows box that's connected to my home network (I'm using Ubuntu)?
[13:15] <Otanacht> windows network in networking?
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> aar: share a folder in windows, smb://<server name>/<share name>
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> aar: then copy and paste
[13:15] <grawity> ActionParsnip: You must have meant "drag and drop".
[13:16] <wookienz> hi, i have managed to share a folder on my nix box to my windows box. however any dir under the initial share is empty - there are files in there - i just can see them from the windows machine.
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> grawity: right click -> copy; rigt click -> paste works too
[13:16] <aar> ActionParsnip, there is no real server though, it's just a couple of boxes connected to the router
[13:16] <Otanacht> you could plug the HD into the windows machine
[13:16] <Otanacht> but thats complicated
[13:17] <LargePrime> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/147626/
[13:17] <LargePrime> ActionParsnip:  i think it failed
[13:17] <aar> Otanacht, yea, that sounds like a hassle
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> aar: if it has a netbios name you are ok, the folder must be shared (or if its windows, the drives are shared with $ (hidden shares) and can be accessed with local admin password)
[13:17] <aar> ActionParsnip, ok thanks
[13:17] <Otanacht> hold on
[13:17] <Otanacht> gonna load up another box
[13:17] <Otanacht> see if I can share files easily
[13:17] <aar> Otanacht, ok
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: sudo apt-file update; sudo apt-file search libsmpeg-0.4.so.0
[13:18] <helper> why in ipv6 fe80::/64 won't work when i ping while other if i add to eth1 fec0::/64 ping work ?
[13:18] <kaptengu> where to go for more advanced ubuntu questions?

[13:19] <LargePrime> ActionParsnip: did that
[13:19] <LargePrime> terminal seems hung
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> LargePrime: its searching

[13:20] <LargePrime> Great!  ok afk for food.

[13:47] <kaptengu> I have set up br0 to be used by my kvm-guests, and the network-manager stop working because it obviously can't handle bridged networking. But can I configure network-manager to use br0 instead of eth0 for my vpn-connections?

[13:49] <UbuntuBoy> How To Save my Linux distubution from Brokendown
[13:49] <psychomantis> try this in a session shell
[13:49] <psychomantis> sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:49] <janedoe_> ziroday: will check
[13:50] <Bragex9> Microsoft windows place installed programs in the program files folder....How is this done in ubuntu?
[13:50] <psychomantis> purhaps some bugs
[13:50] <willemmaster> it's a fresh install from yesterday.
[13:50] <psychomantis> i know
[13:50] <ziroday> Bragex9: very differently. What are you looking for?
[13:51] <janedoe_> ziroday: nm-system-settings but not -applet
[13:51] <ziroday> janedoe_: nm-applet needs to run for the network icon :). Try start it and see if it connects to the network-manager service
[13:51] <willemmaster> ok, ill try that...
[13:51] <Bragex9> Ziroday: looking for read-edid program. I just installed it, but can't find it...
[13:52] <ziroday> Bragex9: one sec
[13:52] <janedoe_> ziroday: though I also see it under session, start up programs
[13:52] <ziroday> janedoe_: well just try run nm-applet for now
[13:52] <willemmaster> btw, this is the output it produces: http://paste.ubuntu.com/147637/
[13:53] <psychomantis> try remove these packages and install it again
[13:53] <psychomantis> it will be fine purhaps
[13:53] <ziroday> Bragex9: running read-edid in the terminal shows anything?
[13:54] <janedoe_> ziroday: could not acquire NetwokManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken
[13:54] <Bragex9> ziroday: running read-edit gives "command not found"
[13:54] <ziroday> janedoe_: hmm, it sounds like network-manager and co failed to startup correctly. Logging out and in should fix it
[13:55] <ziroday> Bragex9: what you want is get-edid and parse-edid
[13:55] <janedoe_> ziroday: err, but I've done nothing since logging back in
[13:55] <POPEYE> hm after I've installed video drivers I can't see the whole login screen... if I delete subsection display it puts the biggest resolution it can... Why it changes resolution but doesnt change picture sizes?
[13:56] <janedoe_> ziroday: though I see something odd in my Network Connections: under wired I don't have plain eth0. I have ifupdown(eth0)
[13:56] <ziroday> janedoe_: yeah, on logging network manager failed to startup correctly. Logging out will kill all those nm stuffs and logging in will start them up again
[13:56] <janedoe_> ziroday: should I not have any entry for my wired eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:56] <janedoe_> I had added one in to try to make IP static
[13:56] <ziroday> When using NFS I'll get 20 seconds of huge tranfer and then a 2 minute timeout when nothing will transfer
[13:57] <ziroday> janedoe_: you shouldn't need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces. Just log out and log back in
[13:57] <psychomantis> free world
[13:57] <psychomantis> again and again
[13:57] <janedoe_> ziroday: will give it a shot
[13:57] <Bragex9> ziroday: I tried get-edid. And then there was an error message saying I need full superuser (root) permission.... How do I do that?
[13:58] <ziroday> Bragex9: sudo read-edid
[13:59] <psychomantis> bragex9
[13:59] <psychomantis> enter
[13:59] <psychomantis> sudo -s
[13:59] <modderx> sudo su
[13:59] <psychomantis> for full superuser
[13:59] <modderx> yeah
[13:59] <psychomantis> sudo -s
[14:00] <ziroday> modderx: don't do sudo su.
[14:00] <psychomantis> do sudo -s
[14:00] <psychomantis> i said
[14:00] <ziroday> psychomantis: prepending sudo to the apps you want to run as root is safer.
[14:00] <ziroday> psychomantis: then running a root shell.

[14:04] <Bram_P> what language is best so that I can make games that work for linux? (without needing to use wine) And can I use the same language to make the installer?
[14:04] <willemmaster> ruut, what network card do you have?
[14:04] <hacker_112> How do get colors in Ubuntu to work properly? I have a SiS M760GX

[14:04] <psychomantis> ruut ??
[14:04] <Ruut> how could I read it?
[14:04] <Ruut> I'm here
[14:04] <Bragex9> ziroday: I have problems with my nvidia driver. It will not accept a higher screen resolution than 640-480. I have tried to edit the xorg.conf file, but it will not work. Check this from x-org logfile: http://paste.debian.net/32905/
[14:04] <psychomantis> wifi or ethernet interface ,,???
[14:04] <Ruut> eth0
[14:05] <Ruut> ethernet
[14:05] <psychomantis> yeah thats right
[14:05] <willemmaster> hmm, thats odd...
[14:05] <janedoe_> ziroday: actually, icon reappears when I comment out the etc/network/interfaces stuff for eth0
[14:05] <psychomantis> did  you config your settup
[14:05] <Ruut> wel I set IP and DNS
[14:05] <psychomantis> you box purhaps or your connexion failed ?
[14:05] <ianh99> Ruut, try http://en.opensuse.org/Disable_IPv6_for_Firefox
[14:05] <Ruut> sorry psychomantis?
[14:06] <Ruut> I don't understand
[14:06] <janedoe_> ziroday: which brings me back to my orig problem.  getting PC to accept static IP from router's DHCP
[14:06] <Bram_P> what language is best so that I can make games that work for linux? (without needing to use wine) And can I use the same language to make the installer?
[14:06] <ziroday> janedoe_: you should be able to configure that in network manager
[14:06] <psychomantis> nexuiz is the greatest
[14:07] <psychomantis> fps for linux try it it really cool
[14:07] <willemmaster> ...
[14:07] <Minor723> I just updated to nvidia-glx-180 and now i failed boot. Whats is the nvidia command to reconfigure x
[14:07] <janedoe_> ziroday: but I shouldn't have to tell PC its IP, should I?  shouldn't it just accept what its given?
[14:07] <mopoyo> psychomantis: i don't like fps
[14:07] <ziroday> Bragex9: I hate these issues :(. What monitor, what size and what is the wanted resolution
[14:07] <ziroday> janedoe_: yes
[14:07] <fore> hey is it possible to make a menu show up beside of the system menu >?
[14:07] <ziroday> Bragex9: what version of ubuntu?
[14:07] <psychomantis> unfortunately for you
[14:08] <psychomantis> its great so you've use wine
[14:08] <ziroday> psychomantis: could you please stop babbling, try keep your responses on one line and address people :)
[14:08] <Minor723> What is the command to reconfigure xorg.conf after update of nvidia drivers?
[14:08] <fore> ziroday: is it possible to make a menu show up beside of the system menu >?
[14:08] <ziroday> janedoe_: take a screenie of your network manager config and I'll review it
[14:09] <ziroday> fore: don't address people out of the blue. And AFAIK unless you want to hack around with the gnome-panel no.
[14:09] <mopoyo> yes psychomantis, you're on the internet, we mean business.
[14:09] <fore> i know you can edit existing menus but can you create a completely new one
[14:09] <Bragex9> Ziroday: wanted resolution is 1360x768 60hz. The monitor is a siemens LCD- TV. 40 inches. Ubuntu version is 8.04
[14:09] <ziroday> Minor723: you shouldn't have to
[14:09] <mopoyo> psychomantis: please behave
[14:09] <ziroday> Bragex9: ah okay, what version of the nvidia drivers?
[14:09] <Minor723> ziroday, i need to. my xorg.conf has like nothing in it. Please tell me the command
[14:10] <willemmaster> Minor723: nvidia-xconfig
[14:10] <ziroday> fore: you can create a new menu in Applications, but not a new menu next to Places or System or whatever. Unless you want to hack around with the source code its not going to happen
[14:10] <willemmaster> perhaps, i dont know
[14:10] <ziroday> Minor723: but I doubt that is going to do anything. How did you install the -180 driver?
[14:11] <ziroday> Minor723: you probably have a conflicting driver install, due to an incorrect -180 install
[14:11] <Minor723> ziroday apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[14:11] <fore> yeah i knew you could  with the other menus, but wasnt sure if it was possible to make a 4th menu appear
[14:11] <Bragex9> ziroday: nvidia driver version is 173.14.12
[14:11] <kinnaz|w> tool to generate random passwords?
[14:11] <ziroday> Bragex9: what card?
[14:11] <Shish_> hi, i just installed ubuntu to get rid of windows... my sound doesnt work now.. im using a sound blaster audigy zs card...all the settings are fine, changed everythign to pulse audio, etc.. still not working.. nothing on mute... etc... help please!  and im very basic with ubuntu as well (Sorry)
[14:11] <sipior> kinnaz|w: "pwgen"
[14:11] <Spasysheep> what's the file with the automount on startup config in it?
[14:11] <Minor723> ziroday, what do you reccomend i do to fix my problem
[14:11] <kinnaz|w> sipior,  tnx
[14:11] <ziroday> Spasysheep: /etc/fstab?
[14:12] <fore> basiclly i just wanted a menu beside of the system one for Net Shares
[14:12] <Bragex9> ziroday: how do I find out which card I have?
[14:12] <ziroday> Bragex9: lspci | grep VGA
 ty
[14:12] <ziroday> Minor723: err, one sec :)
[14:12] <Minor723> ziroday thanks take ur time
[14:13] <ziroday> Minor723: also, please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/Xorg.0.log the output of nvidia-settings
[14:13] <willemmaster> Ruut are you still here? i dont think psychomantics is gonna help you
[14:13] <ziroday> fore: and as explained to you twice. Unless you make your own gnome panel applet its not going to happen.
[14:13] <Bragex9> ziroday: the card is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV37GL [Quadro PCI-E Series] (rev a2)
[14:14] <ziroday> Bragex9: hmm
[14:14] <ziroday> Bragex9: the issue is that the drivers don't know what to output your resolution at as it doesn't know your monitor frequencies and what it accepts. This may be fixed in later version of the nvidia driver
[14:15] <ziroday> Bragex9: err you sure you're using hardy?
[14:15] <Bragex9> ziroday: what is hardy?
[14:15] <ziroday> Bragex9: 8.04
[14:16] <Bragex9> let me check...
[14:16] <ez> Good Morning Team
[14:16] <POPEYE> how can i change login screen resolution
[14:16] <ziroday> ez: Howdy, is there something we can help you with?
[14:16] <psychomantis> ckeck it
[14:16] <POPEYE> ?
[14:16] <Shish_> anyone available to help out? :D
[14:16] <willemmaster> pschychomantis, are you still willing to help me?
[14:17] <Bragex9> ziroday: I was wrong. This is the correct info: Ubuntu 8.10
[14:17] <Bragex9>                 - the Intrepid Ibex
[14:17] <ez> Can I someone suggest a good webcam that will work with Skype? I'm looking into clip-ons for laptop
[14:17] <ziroday> Bragex9: okay, try install the -180 driver
[14:17] <Minor723> ziroday How can i start up ssh
[14:17] <ziroday> ez: anything that uses the UVC driver should work great
[14:17] <linduxed> how do i mount a samba share to a certain directory like with sambafs?
[14:17] <ziroday> Minor723: ssh?
[14:17] <willemmaster> Minor723: ssh maybe?
[14:17] <psychomantis> ya if you want
[14:17] <linduxed> no i meant sshfs
[14:17] <Minor723> sshd connect from other computer
[14:18] <willemmaster> well, i reinstalled, and i still get the same error
[14:18] <Bragex9> ziroday: how do I find and install the 180 driver?
[14:18] <mr_boo> is there a way to determine if the LPT port works in ubuntu?
[14:18] <ziroday> Bragex9: enable the backports repo and it should automatically upgrade
[14:18] <ez> Ziroday: Would this be written on the packaging?
[14:19] <Shish_> just need my sound to work, help please!
[14:19] <ziroday> ez: probably not. Take a look at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#devices, however your best bet is to google the product name and ubuntu as keywords and see what it turns up
[14:19] <mopoyo> shut up
[14:19] <deany> when a program displays a file/folder browser, to save something somewhere or load a file from somewhere, how can i stop it showing hidden files/folders.
[14:19] <mopoyo> Shish_:
[14:19] <Shish_> mopoyo
[14:19] <Shish_> not sure how to highlight ur name, but im here
[14:19] <ziroday> deany: ctrl+h
[14:19] <willemmaster> deany: right-click -> uncheck "show hidden files"
[14:19] <deany> no, i dont mean viewing nautilus.
[14:20] <deany> i mean, like gimp for example, load a file, the window it shows to load a file always shows hidden stuff, i dont wanna see it.
[14:20] <ziroday> deany: press ctrl+h when in that window.
[14:20] <Shish_> wait, mopoyo, u tellin me to shuttup?
[14:20] <xamox> anyone recommend a way I can share my aircard through my wireless in 8.10?
[14:20] <deany> yes, but is that the only solution...
[14:21] <willemmaster> deany: nah, you can also right-click
[14:21] <Bragex9> ziroday: I am not sure if I am doing things right. But in the systems menu when I enter hardware drivers, then version 173 is the reccomended one. How do I find the 180 driver? btw.. I am a total newbee to linux
[14:21] <deany> no way to by default?
[14:21] <willemmaster> it should become the default...
[14:21] <Zelicious> hey, can someone hlep with grub settings? I installed windows after the ubuntu, changed the boot using the live CD as explained online and edited menu.lst to have windows in it, and grub doesn't recognize a OS to run from the win partition... so how do I make sure I pointed it at the right partition?
[14:21] <willemmaster> it does atleast for me
[14:21] <ianh99> deany, Places->Home then in file browser, Edit->Prefs and uncheck show hidden...
[14:22] <ianh99> deany, setting then applies to gimp etc.
[14:22] <mr_boo> what's the name of the LPT port in ubuntu?
[14:22] <deany> ah...  think thats done it.. dam why didnt i just try that to begin with (
[14:22] <ziroday> Bragex9: no worries. Basically the short story is that there is no way to solve this, at all :). A hopefully quick fix will be to install the -180 driver by enabling backports and then upgrading to it. Do you know how to enable backports?
[14:22] <mr_boo> Zelicious: you must restore grub from the ubuntu live cd
[14:22] <sipior> mr_boo: /dev/parport[0-9]
[14:22] <Zelicious> how do I do that?
[14:23] <rafa_> hi! I have a problem with hdmi out sound, never work...

[14:25] <ziroday> Minor723: sorry, what is your issue again?
[14:25] <wookienz> what are backports?
[14:25] <Zelicious> just making sure... grub exsists, I'm on through ubuntu right now, what I'm lacking is the option to load windows again (everyone who answered earlier)
[14:25] <frg54> ciao primo giorno su ubuntu... ho rimosso la barra in basso dove si riducano i programmi!! come faccio a metterla di nuovo?
[14:25] <sipior> Shish_: if people don't answer your question, it's likely because you haven't provided much information for us. for example, what steps have you taken to get sound working? what was the result?

[14:26] <ianh99> Shish_, Have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[14:26] <ziroday> Zelicious: sorry, what is not working. You want to windows to appear as an option in grub or does grub not appear?
[14:26] <Minor723> ziroday I updated to nvidia-glx-180 and cant boot properly
[14:26] <mr_boo> sipior: cant find  it
[14:26] <ubuntu-newbie> Why does ubuntu goes blank for a long time when I do a reboot after the installation? -video problem?
[14:26] <ziroday> Minor723: okay, what is the output of nvidia-settings?
[14:27] <linduxed> how do i mount a samba share to a certain directory like with sshfs?
[14:27] <Zelicious> ziroday I added windows to the menu.lst so it appears as an option but doesn't load.
[14:27] <Minor723> cant run nvidia-settings i can only be on terminal
[14:27] <carpii__> use smbfs
[14:27] <sipior> mr_boo: not even /dev/parport0? driver must not be loaded. is the port enabled in your bios?
[14:27] <ziroday> Zelicious: ah okay, what is the error?
[14:27] <ziroday> Minor723: okay, then nvidia-xconfig
[14:27] <mr_boo> sipior: it's enabled in bios
[14:27] <Shish_> thanks sipior...  ive checked alsa mixer, made sure all levels were up, i checked that forum that ianh99 suggested, and everything ended with "success"... i went to another forum that suggested me download a bunch of these files, and change everythign to pulse audio, and get something called pulseaudio applet.. still no sound
[14:27] <willemmaster> another question; how do i find out by which package a file is installed?
[14:28] <Holek_> when I play some movies, I have no sound: mplayer loads the file and gets stuck at one position, cannot play audio (I  walk throughout the whole video stream) (mplayer output: http://pastebin.ca/1387088) What can I do?
[14:28] <jrib> willemmaster: dpkg -S
[14:28] <Zelicious> ziroday: I don't have the exact text but it says it can't find a kernel or operating system, I can give a quick restart and come back with the messege if that helps.
[14:28] <willemmaster> jrib: thanks, that makes sense
[14:28] <AllEars> Hi guys, how secure are Ubuntu LiveCd for online banking?

[14:32] <paul68> ziroday: understood but what would the command in the terminal be sorry to ask noob questions
[14:32] <ziroday> paul68: ps aux | grep xfce4-panel
[14:33] <sebsebseb> Holek_  and  psyhomantis    the standard AVI suppourt and such will probably help, but w32codecs may as well

[14:34] <Zelicious> ziroday I'll try that again. hope it works
[14:34] <Rubyst> my notebook falled me down and get now bad sector on the s-ata HD, any propositions how to fix this?

[14:38] <ziroday> paul68: I have no idea what you mean sorry
[14:39] <paul68> ziroday: my screen resolution changed and I would like to change that
[14:39] <Rorgo> why is it, in a 'netstat -ln' output, that UDP ports don't show up in a LISTEN state even if they are accepting inbound connections? Just because it's not really a connection oriented protocol?
[14:39] <willemmaster> okay, i get an error everytime i try to start a gstreamer-based application (http://paste.ubuntu.com/147637/), reinstalling gstreamer0.10-plugins-base won work...
[14:39] <willemmaster> what do i have to do
[14:39] <ziroday> paul68: when changing DE?
[14:40] <paul68> ziroday: changed to xfce and now my screen resolution changed

[14:46] <MaT-dg> My whole data-partition is read only for all users. I download stuff with torrents and then access them trough samba share and this works fine. Now when I download things with xchat, the files are not accessible for everyone. How can I make every (new) file read only for everyone?
[14:46] <jcapinc> sebsebseb, Now that I have updated I cannot set the resolution of my 1900x1080 moniter to the right resolution, also it would appear to think both my lcd moniters are crt moniters
[14:46] <gajan> Hi All, In my laptop i am using Ubuntu 8.04 . I am having some problems with hibernating. This is some how insonsistent. Some time it does not hibernate. worse sometime it can not restore after hibernating, i have to hard reboot, eventually loosing all data. Did anybody face the same issue? if yes how u guys rectify this ?

[14:48] <gbrethen> ubuntu 8.10
[14:48] <sebsebseb> gajan: yeah Linux tends to get issues with that, because of lack of  hardware suppourt for such features for Linux from manufactures, and no I can't really help you, but  I think  swap space is also used to hibernate
[14:48] <sebsebseb> !swap
[14:49] <gajan> sebsebseb : i am having 2 GB of memory and 2 GB of swap. do u think i should try increasing swap space from here ?

[14:58] <magnetron> mr_boo→ ubuntu doesn't enable or disable paralell ports, that's a task for BIOS
[14:58] <v0lksman> I'm setting up an encrypted directory in my home dir.  I read that I can move my .ssh directory to ~/Private and symlink them back to ~/ is that the right way to protect my keys?
[14:59] <magnetron> v0lksman→ yes, it's a good way
[14:59] <v0lksman> magnetron: cool..just wanted to make sure I didn't mis-read.. ;)

[15:05] <Nielsen> mr_boo, could the printer port be disabled in bios?

[15:12] <casper_> w/e ill just run it with wine
[15:12] <jrib> casper_: have to go, but blood frontier is not in the repositories, so you have to read its documentation.  There is no uniform way to "install tar.gz", it depends on the software
[15:13] <zealiod> sorry guys....
[15:14] <armence> OK, my mouse just disappeared...

[15:23] <bencrisford> leo: for what?  ubuntu?
[15:23] <leo> yes
[15:23] <doseryder> I'm reading up on PPA, what is a "Ubuntu source package"?
[15:23] <leo> i just started using it
[15:23] <trulli> serious bug in jaunty? Today jaunty seamd to kick my initrd file in /boot and now I can't boot anymore in the system! Is a bug like this knowen?
[15:23] <leo> but i want to know more
[15:23] <bencrisford> leo: for appearance gnome-look.org
[15:23] <Vaporize> i've just installed debian next to my ubuntu and... what's the exact difference?
[15:23] <bencrisford> leo: it has all sorts of themes and stuff :D
[15:23] <leo> yeah :>
[15:23] <oCean_> trulli: since it is still beta, all jaunty issues/discussions go in channel #ubuntu+1 please
[15:23] <Vaporize> that's the only difference..
[15:24] <leo> thats what i wanted to change
[15:24] <leo> the theme
[15:24] <tea_ovedose> How to disable/turn off/mute backspace from beeping?
[15:24] <trulli> oCean_: didn't knwo that thx

[15:24] <J_P> why my system don't have mozilla-firefox-locale-pt-br in apt-cache search ?
[15:24] <kudi> does anyone know a good program or website where i can make a timed multiple choice test for free?
[15:25] <Vaporize> Is the only difference between ubuntu and debian the theme?
[15:25] <bencrisford> Vaporize: there is many differences :D
[15:25] <Vaporize> well like what :P
[15:25] <Vaporize> don't see them on first sight
[15:25] <bencrisford> vaporize: i wish I knew
[15:25] <atmospherian> bencrisford: i think you mean gnome-look.org
[15:25] <bencrisford> vaporize: but they'll be there someone
[15:26] <Vaporize> lol then how you know there are
[15:26] <bencrisford> atmospherian: s'what I said right?
[15:26] <bencrisford> oops typo
[15:26] <taev> Hello all: is the a correct place to get help with ubuntu?
[15:26] <bencrisford> vaporize: i just know these things
[15:26] <atmospherian> bencrisford: "gnome-loog.org" :)
[15:26] <bencrisford> ;)
[15:26] <bencrisford> atmospherian: typo, sorry
[15:26] <Vaporize>  lol anyone else who DOES know the differences :P
[15:26] <bencrisford> vaporize: i never claimed i did, i just said they were ther ;)
[15:27] <atmospherian> bencrisford: no worries
[15:27] <Vaporize> cause if ubuntu is just some hyped debian it would be kinda lame
[15:27] <Vaporize> and i'm pretty sure it isn't due it's popularity
[15:27] <bencrisford> vaporize: debian is oldchool ubuntu is the new kid on the block :D
[15:27] <taev> I'll assume it is. I'm trying to forward an X session from a remote machine to my 8.10 system. I've fixed the TCPnoListen in gdm.conf and I've ssh'ed into the remote machine with the -X option, but it still doesn't work
[15:27] <tea_ovedose> lol
[15:27] <taev> Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[15:27] <alanbshepard70> I'm trying to copy files from a CD I burned under windows and a lot of the files are locked to where I can't copy them. Since I can't change permissions on a finialized disc how do I copy the files?
[15:28] <Vaporize> does anyone but bencrisford know the differences between debian and ubuntu :P
[15:28] <taev> alanbshepard70: try using sudo to copy them from the command line?
[15:28] <J_P> how I change language of my firefox if don't have mozilla-firefox-locale-pt-br ?
[15:28] <thiebaude> Vaporize: i heard debian is more stable
[15:28] <taev> debian is the upstream distro that ubuntu is based on
[15:28] <bencrisford> vaporize: Meh, ubuntu logo looks cooler :D
[15:29] <taev> which means that ubuntu is a customized and improved (for various meanings of "improve") version of debian
[15:29] <atmospherian> anyone else using wmii?
[15:30] <bencrisford> vaporize: The cooler looks in ubuntu are good enough reason for me to use it :D:D:D
[15:30] <J_P> anyone know why 8.10 don't have mozilla-firefox-locale-pt-br ? apt-cache search mozilla-firefox-locale-pt-br  show nothing!
[15:30] <Vaporize> i'm using ion3 go for that :P
[15:30] <grawity> J_P: maybe just 'firefox-locale-pt-br' ?
[15:31] <sketchykid> does anyone know how i get my dvd's to play through Kaffiene?
[15:31] <atmospherian> Vaporize: i looked at ion3, but i found wmii to be easier to use, IMO
[15:31] <atmospherian> Vaporize: plus i've read that the author of ion3 is a real dick
[15:31] <Vaporize> i think it's a matter of what your used to
[15:31] <alanbshepard70> taev: Thanks for the suggestion but still doesn't work :-\
[15:32] <Vaporize> i've been using ion3 for half a year or so and then started to try out some other tiling window managers
[15:32] <J_P> grawity: this is strange too. becouse firefox has any locale. A  apt-cache search firefox | grep -i locale  show nothing!
[15:32] <Vaporize> i'm just used to the keybinds and stuff of ion3
[15:32] <bencrisford> atmospherian: i'm the author of ion3....
[15:33] <atmospherian> bencrisford: i doubt that
[15:33] <bencrisford> atmospherian:  why am i not a dick :P?
[15:33] <Vaporize> and i'm not sure if it was wmii but of some i didn't like the fact that they are tiling but also support some floating windows
[15:33] <atmospherian> Vaporize: yeah wmii does support floating windows, which does go against the whole idea of tiling
[15:33] <mouka> hi all
[15:34] <atmospherian> Vaporize: but to support apps like gimp it is a necessary evil
[15:34] <mouka> anybody can show me how to make cron output some text on the screen?
[15:34] <Vaporize> yeah well that's the only thing i don't like in ion3
[15:34] <mouka> by default, cron mails the output to the user
[15:34] <bytor4232> I couldn't get used to tiling window managers.  My screens are less than 17 inches, and most are only 1024x768.  Its nice on my wife's 20" Acer monitor.
[15:34] <Vaporize> that i've to scale and order the tiles to get gimp to work fine
[15:34] <mouka> but what I want is have cron display some text on the console
[15:34] <thiebaude> bytor4232: i love the blackbox
[15:34] <Vaporize> still don't get why they use that layout anyway
[15:34] <stealth-> whats the command to take away all permissions from others to a large folder and all the files/folders inside?

[15:37] <IRiX_> can anyone help me with ubuntu / vista dual boot.  i had a laptop with vista and a crappy boot partition that took up 15GB of space.  I while installing ubuntu i deleted the recovery partition and extended and moved the windows to the left.  The repair partition was initially the most left partition.  I now have 100GB partition for vista, 80GB partition for ubuntu, 8GB Swap and another partition for data.  Problem is since d
[15:37] <IRiX_> oing all this vista no longer boots. Any tips??
[15:37] <mouka> ActiveFrost: I used it, all it does is mail me the output
[15:37] <Mion> Vaporize: don't know if ion3 can float, I don't use it since the dev is a santorum
[15:37] <ActiveFrost> IRiX: only 1 tip - don't use Vista :P
[15:38] <thiebaude> wow 8gb swap
[15:38] <taev> IRiX: did you redo grub, so that it knows where the partitions are?
[15:38] <hchufeng> wow 8G
[15:38] <thiebaude> thats too much
[15:38] <ActiveFrost> mouka: when you open terminal and type in echo, what it does ?
[15:38] <IRiX_> hmmmm not sure, how would you do about that?
[15:39] <_Brun0_> How can I create a bash script to insert multiple lines of text into a file?
[15:39] <Vaporize> Mion: well it doesn't seem to be very "ion3" to be able to do that :P
[15:39] <stealth-> can I not give a use access to a directory inside a directory he doesn't have access to?
[15:39] <taev> IRiX: google for "repair grub" and you'll find instructions on how to use the Live CD to fix your grub install
[15:39] <grawity> _Brun0_: echo "This is a line of text" >> somefile
[15:39] <grawity> _Brun0_: Would that work?
[15:39] <atmospherian> _Brun0_: insert lines are the end of a file/
[15:39] <hchufeng> any body help me install the IBUS
[15:39] <Mion> Vaporize: almost every other tiling vm out there can float spesific apps
[15:39] <rafaweborama> hey guys
[15:40] <_Brun0_> grawity, yes, but multiple lines
[15:40] <sebsebseb> IRiX_: yep get rid of Vista entirely and go Ubuntu only :)   The moral of the story: Make sure you always get the Windows CD/DVD, if you ever buy a computer again  with  Windows.      by the sounds of it you messed up things quite a bit, and so would be much easier to put Vista back on first, from it's DVD, or not bother with it

[15:42] <movedx> How do I check how much RAM Ubuntu has discovered from my system? I've bought a new computer with 4GB of RAM and I think I was installing a 32-bit edition. I've installed a 64-bit version but I want to check it has discovered the full 4GB.
[15:42] <IRiX_> taev - thanks i'l give that a try, sebsebseb - i would only for the fact i kinda want to play some new games just got an Acer Aspire 8930G its dam sweet
[15:42] <thiebaude> movedx: system monitor
[15:42] <thiebaude> or top
[15:42] <Mion> movedx: there is no reason to run a 32bit ubuntu if you have 64bit capable hardware
[15:42] <taev> IRiX: welcome
[15:42] <movedx> Mion: Indeed. It was a mistake :)
[15:42] <hchufeng> ubottu: thank you!
[15:43] <movedx> thiebaude: AH yes. It states I'm using 469MB of 3.9GiB - thank you :)
[15:43] <Mion> movedx: free -m will tell you your ram usage
[15:43] <thiebaude> kewl
[15:43] <movedx> wow it installed a 9.5GB swap partition? lol
[15:43] <thiebaude> movedx: yea thats too much
[15:44] <sebsebseb> movedx: your swap should only be like 1GB
[15:44] <Mion> movedx: use uname -m to see what version you installed
[15:44] <movedx> ya think?
[15:44] <Vaporize> Mion: lol well they're not talking about ion3 but the oldest one, plain ion
[15:44] <Mion> Vaporize: same
[15:44] <calc> sebsebseb: unless you want to hibernate...
[15:44] <movedx> Mion: The absolute lastest. I burnt the ISO like, 30 minutes ago right fro the ubuntu site.
[15:44] <sebsebseb> calc: how much for hibernate?
[15:44] <calc> sebsebseb: then it needs to be roughly the size of your ram
[15:44] <sebsebseb> calc: oh ok
[15:44] <Mion> movedx: uname -m will tell you if you installed a 32bit or 64bit
[15:44] <hchufeng> ubottu: may be you don't how hard to install an input method to input chinese
[15:44] <calc> sebsebseb: it dumps the contents of ram to the swap partition
[15:44] <thiebaude> 1.5 times the size of ram
[15:45] <calc> yea 1.5 is probably fine as well, 2.5x ram is overkill though, heh
[15:45] <movedx> Mion: I know it's 64-bit.  I burnt the 64-bit ISO.
[15:45] <sebsebseb> calc: wel sleep and hibernate won't really work properly or at all with Ubuntu anyway for me,  and I think if I put 2GB swap same thing
[15:45] <movedx> Mion: And yes, 'uname -a' confirms this :)
[15:45] <IRiX_> sebsebseb: btw if you dont mind me asking what irc client do you use? can you just click on my name to reply?
[15:45] <Mion> also, unless you are planning to suspend to disc, or run a lot of vm's, then just drop the swap partion
[15:45] <Mion> when you got 4gb of ram
[15:45] <sebsebseb> IRiX_: why?
[15:45] <movedx> Mion: Actually I will run a VM, but only one.
[15:45] <calc> sebsebseb: probably due to buggy bios on your system, its worked fine on all the systems i have tried it on
[15:46] <sketchykid> does anyone know how i get my dvd's to play through Kaffiene?

[15:46] <calc> sebsebseb: and there was a call for testing sleep/hibernate support a few weeks ago to get those remaining issues fixed

[15:48] <cumulus007> Hi guys, what's wrong with the package mirrors?
[15:49] <IRiX_> im using X-Chat every i want to type "sebsebseb:" i have to manually copy and paste, just thot either im not using a shortcut or not as good client
[15:49] <IRiX_> or anyones name for that matter
[15:49] <Mion> IRiX_: use the tab key?
[15:49] <sebsebseb> IRiX_: Xchat is popular, but Konversation :)
[15:49] <pahom1> hi all
[15:49] <hchufeng> panda is very sweet
[15:49] <sebsebseb> pahom1: hi
[15:50] <calc> irssi is the best :)
[15:50] <Mion> IRiX_: xchat does autocompleting of names with the tab key...
[15:50] <QpSmiley> Is pidgin good?
[15:50] <sebsebseb> many  noobs use Xchat, so it's nice to use something diffenret
[15:50] <sebsebseb> QpSmiley: Pidgin for IRC not that good
[15:50] <taev> if you desire "geek cred", I suggest using BitchX
[15:50] <mart1> i need help W/ my audio cauz it dose not have any sound at all
[15:50] <calc> taev: ircII in that case ;-)
[15:50] <grawity> taev: Why not irssi? Or even ircII.
[15:50] <hchufeng> sebsebseb: do you know how to install an source soft?
[15:51] <IRiX_> Mion: ah thanks, sorted
[15:51] <calc> irssi is much better than BitchX, but for geek cred you would need raw telnet irc or maybe ircII ;-)
[15:51] <sebsebseb> taev: didn't know about that one
[15:51] <taev> geek cred, not mesozoic cred
[15:51] <sebsebseb> hchufeng: I could install from source if I  have a reason to, but it's been a while etc
[15:51]  * calc has irc'd via telnet to port 6667 many years ago
[15:51] <sebsebseb> hchufeng: so a little rusty
[15:51] <mart1> it is the default for ubuntu hardy
[15:51] <grawity> taev: irssi isn't old. Also, BitchX doesn't support UTF-8.
[15:52] <calc> irssi was a rewrite of ircII/BitchX to make it decent, its newer than BitchX
[15:52] <hchufeng> sebsebseb: but I cant't install the IBUS which is a new input method
[15:52] <Mion> and weechat is even nicer than irssi

[15:52] <djtoast> Hi all,  I have a quick question on Shell scripting.  I know this is not 100% ubuntu related but figured since i cant find anwser with google id ask here.  Can you in a shell script do a CASE under another CASE.  Like you can do IF then, IF then Else, Else.  but cases seems to be reconising my ending esac for the second case for my first one.
[15:52] <calc> first version of irssi didn't even come up until 1999
[15:52] <mart1> can any 1 help through remote assistance?

[15:56] <djtoast> stodorovid: Im testing now.. i got past my issue ... was missing a ; ...  you know how it goes one little error gives wierd resutls :)  But i will definatly look into bash (Using ksh for my script)
[15:56] <hacker07> dose kmess support voice conference
[15:56] <hacker07> does
[15:56] <sebsebseb> hacker07: and  if you got Java installed you can get  Mercury Messenger, only one guy made it, closed source,  may be a bit buggy at times, but it can suppourt like all MSN features and it's own stuff

[15:56] <ktulu77> foey, I have skype on 64bit
[15:56] <calc> foey: there are 32bit compat libs that you can install
[15:56] <hacker07> thanls

[15:56] <sebsebseb> grawity: lol please don't suggest Virtualbox?  ha ha
[15:56] <rujin> is anyone familiar with a website where you can put in commands to terminal that would auto install programs/plug-ins?
[15:56] <sebsebseb> grawity: I have an idea why you may be saying that, but I  want to know, so why?
[15:57] <stodorovic> djtoast: oh right. I foolishly assumed you were using bash. The ksh man page might have more info, but as you say, you fixed it :)
[15:57] <calc> foey: and uh filezilla is packaged for ubuntu 64bit
[15:57] <foey> calc: is this ok to use for 32bit apps and do they run without a problem?
[15:57] <calc> foey: yea, but generally its better to use 64bit version when available, it uses less ram that way

[15:57] <stodorovic> ?

[15:59] <Ripzerskins> Hi guys.

[15:59] <sebsebseb> amikrop: Uh  bun  two   I think
[15:59] <calc> stodorovic: well WOW isn't really an emulator just another copy of windows libraries runing for 32bit mode (i think)

[16:01] <Rubyst> has anybody exprerience with Harddrives with bad sectors?
[16:01] <Ruut> do you know how I can check if the driver is working, or how I can change te driver?
[16:02] <Pici> stodorovic: -13 is oly in the proposed repository. i.e: its not fully tested yet.
[16:02] <Pici> stodorovic: Actually, its -14 now.
[16:02] <taev> Ruut: your ifconfig listing shows no obvious issues. If you can ping websites at 60ms, your drivers are probably ok. Is this a desktop or a laptop?
[16:02] <Ruut> taev I didnt mean to be rude..
[16:02] <calc> Rubyst: use smartmontools to do a smart test, or the vendors test utility
[16:02] <Ruut> it's a laptop
[16:03] <taev> brand/model?
[16:03] <Ruut> acer travelmate 290
[16:03] <stodorovic> Pici: hmm. Thanks. Not sure if the kernel can use drivers for a newer kernel. I'll have a go but expect to get loads of kernel OOPS :/
[16:03] <maynoth12345678> if anyone here is using the latest ATI linux drivers can you please tell me if they still suck for gaming like eve and vendeta online etc
[16:03] <calc> Rubyst: if you can backup the drive you can then overwrite the whole drive with random data which should also help cause the drive to remap any other bad sectors

[16:06] <hchufeng> good night everyone!
[16:06] <unitedpotsmokers> good nite hchufeng
[16:06] <calc> Rubyst: your best bet though if you think you have bad sectors, but not a totally dead drive would be to back it up and overwrite the whole drive and then run a smartctl -t long  (long test)
 if anyone here is using the latest ATI linux drivers can you please tell me if they still suck for gaming like eve and vendeta online etc
[16:07] <mweichert> if I set a kernel parameter using sysctl, will it persist after a reboot?
[16:07] <exosyst> Hello roomies, Can anyone else verify that Add/Remove Applications has stopped working after the last update?
[16:07] <calc> Rubyst: you can overwrite your whole drive using dd, i think it might be an autoban for telling how though
[16:08] <exosyst> It'd be helpful as I can file a bug if it is
[16:08] <Ruut> TM290XMi
[16:08] <Ruut> that should be it..
[16:08] <rafaweborama> hi
[16:09] <Picassotamus> exosyst: I doubt it.  What problem are u having?
[16:10] <Ruut> taev.. still there?
[16:10] <taev> ruut: yeah, was looking around
[16:10] <Ripzerskins> Hey, I run on ubuntu 8.10, and when I run update manager (or sudo apt-get update either one) I get this error message that says 'Not all updates can be installed-Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.' So I press okay. It starts to update, when it just disappears, doesn't make any error message or update. I get the same error box next time I run the update manager. Anyone know how to fix this?
[16:10] <exosyst> Picassotamus: After the last update, I thought i'd install some codecs via Add/Remove in Applications menu. It just, uhm, doesnt have anything :S
[16:10] <taev> seems like wired ought to work fine. Did you say your wireless wasn't working?
[16:10] <Ruut> thanks..
[16:10] <calc> Rubyst: i private messaged you how to do it, but make sure not to try it unless you have backed up all the data on the drive from all partitions as it will erase it completely
[16:12] <Picassotamus> exosyst: It doesn't have anything?  or no codecs?
[16:12] <exosyst> Nothing.
[16:12] <exosyst> Picassotamus: On the left I have 'All' no other categories, the lower right and upper left are blank/greyed out and the search yields nothing
[16:12] <monostone> hi, I'm looking for a way to rename via commandline a whole directory of files, maintaining partially the name like the following example: image_123_l.jpg -> image_123_m.jpg basically i need to maintain everything except the last letter, how could I apply a regex to the mv or cp commands?
[16:13] <Picassotamus> exosyst: If you run sudo apt-get update do you get the same error msg as Ripzerskins?
[16:13] <exosyst> Picassotamus:  Nope. No problems there
[16:13] <foey> I'm running 9.04 Beta. When it is release later in the month can I just upgrade my current installation?
[16:13] <Ripzerskins> Picassotamus: I love being an example. haha
[16:13] <stodorovic> erm what? sudo dpkg -i --simulate package.deb, does not print errors; removing --simulate, and it errors out
[16:14] <exosyst> foey: Yes.
[16:14] <exosyst> monostone: Write a simple bashscript
[16:14] <foey> exosyst : thanks. Do most people upgrade? Are there any differences from a clean install e.t.c?
[16:14] <exosyst> monostone: that way you can reuse it
[16:14] <Pici> monostone: use the rename command.
[16:15] <monostone> Pici: Ill look into the man, thanx for the tip
[16:15] <exosyst> foey: My plan always goes: Backup files/Configs, check against liveCD that nothing is broken on hardware, install clean.
[16:15] <Picassotamus> exosyst: Could be a bug... or the packages site is down... or update manager(aptitude?) is bugging
[16:15] <exosyst> foey: standard upgrade of distro should work fine though
[16:15] <monostone> Pici: excellent, that's just what I was looking for
[16:15] <rbd> does rm -rf always recurse acorss symlinks?
[16:16] <rbd> or does it just delete the symlink itself?
[16:16] <foey> exosyst : Many thanks. Big help.
[16:16] <Ropechoborra> I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras but still cant listen to mp3 files :(

[16:16] <exosyst> Picassotamus: I have no idea, It seems odd though. So you're not getting the same thing?
[16:16] <Picassotamus> exosyst: heh, im on windows at work : /

[16:17] <Picassotamus> Ripzerskins: Not really, sorry
[16:18] <mweichert> rashed2020_, that's a PPTP server
[16:18] <exosyst> Ripzerskins: My Add/Remove Programs is broken after the last update (not a dpkg problem, nor a synaptic/aptitude problem)
[16:18] <Ripzerskins> Picassotamus: No problem.
[16:18] <rashed2020_> Oh, woops.
[16:18] <Mion> DG19075: lame is an encoder, not a decoder
[16:18] <Ripzerskins> exosyst: Okay. I can't really help I don't think, my update manager is broken for some weird reason.

[16:19] <jose> hi
[16:19] <jose> This is test
[16:19] <Mion> jose: your test failed
[16:19] <jose> is any one there
[16:19] <Ropechoborra> DG19075, installing
[16:19] <zombor> can anyone help me out? i just ran a system update and now my system won't boot, it sits there and says "GRUB " but never shows the boot menu
[16:19] <cumulus007> it failed epicly
[16:19] <Huufarted> Jose, there is a #test channel for testing stuff
[16:19] <exosyst> Ripzerskins: have you tried update from command line?
[16:20] <jose> thanks
[16:20] <Ropechoborra> DG19075, nothing :(
[16:20] <Ripzerskins> exosyst: Yes. it gives me 'Try running sudo apt-get update to fix these problems' The command sudo apt-get update gives me that message.
[16:21] <exosyst> so you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade And then what? You say 'it dissapeared' - you mean the terminal?
