[21:33] <dorothy> Hi all I've an IBM ThinkPad x24 running Hardy Heron 8.04. Every time I go to battery, the screen brightness lowers, and I have to use the function key combination to raise  the brightness. Then, every few minutes the brightness just goes down again. Any help would be appreciated.

[21:34] <honigpuppe22> was muss ich dann machen ich komm da nicht durch
[21:34] <treble54> I have control+alt+tab set to the same behavior as alt+tab, but it applies to all workspaces
[21:34] <jpjacobs> Agent_bob: yeah i know ... but there is'nt anything like igain, nor external amp...
[21:34] <psypher246> Flannel: is the minimal cd better to start with, all i want is an openvpn server with minimal size
[21:34] <foxhound_> bastid_razor: ATI card
[21:34] <qr> Shadow6363: I have no idea what checkbox you're talking about.  But to give a user sudo rights do    usermod theusername -a -G admin   (do not mess up the -a -G admin part, doing so will cause innumerable problems)
[21:34] <Flannel> honigpuppe22: /join #ubuntu-de
[21:34] <earthmeLon> npope-la2top i have to get to work, if you have a suggestion on a tutorial, please /query it to me. Thanks again
[21:34] <treble54> how do I set alt+tab to do what ctrl+alt+tab does
[21:34] <treble54> I don't know where this keybinding is at
[21:34] <Agent_bob> jpjacobs hmmm what card ?
[21:34] <foxhound_> bastid_razor: not in my monitor, i usually right click desktop on windows and change everything
[21:34] <WhatsHisName_Sea> dorothy: check the power settings... you can get there by right-clicking on the power status icon in the system tray
[21:34] <treble54> and I don't see it under keyboard shortcuts
[21:34] <honigpuppe22> is das dann richtig alles erklärt
[21:34] <Flannel> psypher246: minimal CD is identical to the alternate CD, except it doesn't include any packages on the CD
[21:34] <Killer--Tux> usser  i dont understand
[21:34] <bastid_raZor> foxhound_; oh, ATI i don' t know if it has the ability to do that..
[21:34] <Shadow6363> thanks qr and Flannel
[21:34] <Flannel> honigpuppe22: yes.
[21:35] <psypher246> Flannel: cool, i'll have another go, thank you!!!
[21:35] <usser> Killer--Tux, that last screenshot u sent, in that window remove the line that says home /home
[21:35] <Agent_bob> jpjacobs my ess has about 25 controls   but my hda has 2  so  it is card dependant.
[21:35] <foxhound_> bastid_razor: in windows i usually do it, so i tell you it does have the ability :p
[21:35] <dorothy> WhatsHisName_Sea: yeah, I went to system >preferences > power management but this did not help

[21:35] <nomopofomo> how the heck can i stop ubuntu from stretching my desktop to my monitor's native resolution? i'm trying to select a resolution in a game which is a 4:3 resolution but it's stretching it to 16:10
[21:35] <jsquared> is there a command I can pipe stuff through to see how long the input command took?
[21:36] <usser> Killer--Tux, and add a different one with Folder Path /home/adolfo and Folder name home
[21:36] <jpjacobs> Agent_bob: intel HDA (with a conexant CX20549 chip)
[21:36] <Agent_bob> jsquared time
[21:36] <qr> jsquared: you can do time command to see how long command takes
[21:36] <dorothy> WhatsHisName_Sea: I even scoured the net to find a solution to no avail
[21:36] <WhatsHisName_Sea> dorothy: did you uncheck the "reduce backlight brightness" on the "On Battery tab"?
[21:36] <Agent_bob> jpjacobs that explains it.   sorry i bothered you.
[21:36] <dorothy> WhatsHisName_Sea: yes
[21:36] <bastid_raZor> foxhound_; windows ati drivers and ubuntu ati drivers are not the same. therefore in ubuntu it may not.. yet i do not know if it does. you could google or look around on the forums
[21:36] <jsquared> qr, Agent_bob: that seems to require that I specify the command as part of time, though
[21:36] <WhatsHisName_Sea> dorothy: OK, you should probably see if this is set in your BIOS
[21:37] <qr> jsquared: yes, that's how time works
[21:37] <jsquared> I'd like to be able to do something like "x | time" <-- measures how long it took x to run
[21:37] <dorothy> WhatsHisName_Sea: been ther, done that
[21:37] <dorothy> there*
[21:37] <Flannel> jsquared: no. time [command]
[21:37] <WhatsHisName_Sea> dorothy: hmmm.... thinking
[21:37] <jpjacobs> Agent_bob: :) never mind
[21:37] <foxhound_> bastid_razor: i see, i'll keep trying
[21:37] <Killer--Tux> usser   i got a error
[21:37] <qr> jsquared: you cant accuartely time something that way
[21:37] <Agent_bob> jsquared why would you want to time a pipe ?
[21:37] <qr> jsquared: which is why time doesn't work like that.
[21:37] <Killer--Tux> usser   here is the screenshot    http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotiv7.png
[21:37] <filac> can anyone help me please ? Im getting a corrupt volume error when trying to mount an external usb drive that worked fine yesterday, can anyone help ?
[21:38] <ortsvorsteher> ! kroatia
[21:38] <dorothy> WhatsHisName_Sea: I'm thinking it's might be a setting I can change in the gconf editor but I've no idea how to get to it
[21:38] <jsquared> qr: ah, okay
[21:38] <ortsvorsteher> ! croatia
[21:38] <jpjacobs> Agent_bob: it's just too sad... everything except the internal mic is working out of the box (yeah, and hdaps protection neither)
[21:38] <jpjacobs> so i'm already kinda glad :)
[21:38] <nomopofomo> How can I stop Ubuntu from upscaling the screen resolution?
[21:38] <jsquared> qr: basically I want to capture the output of the original file without also capturing the time output
[21:38] <Flannel> !hr | ortsvorsteher
[21:38] <pteague> what engine does amarok use by default? xine or something else?
[21:38] <Slart> !info amarok
[21:39] <qr> jsquared: time outputs on stderr, so just capture stdout (a regular pipe ( ie | ) does this) and you'll be fine
[21:39] <alraune> nomopofomo: edit xorg.conf (before do a backup)
[21:39] <Slart> hmm.. no idea
[21:39] <ortsvorsteher> ! hrvatska

[21:39] <usser> Killer--Tux, paste the result of echo $HOME
[21:39] <nomopofomo> alraune, what exactly am I looking for in xorg.conf?
[21:40] <Agent_bob> jsquared sounds like you are ready for  linux output redirrection 101
[21:40] <alraune> nomopofomo: sth like modes  1024x768   ...

[21:51] <Konner> thats it
[21:51] <WhatsHisName_Sea> you can turn off acpi and apmd support by going to System->Services and find them in the list and un-check them there.  The next time you bootup they will not run.  If you want to turn them off without rebooting you can (after you uncheck them in the services list) run the following from the command line: "/etc/init.d/acpi-support stop"  and then "/etc/init.d/acpid stop"

[21:52] <woddf2> I am having trouble upgrading from 6.06 Dapper to 8.04 Hardy.
[21:53] <usser> xintron, its cups you can access it by pointing your browser to localhost:631
[21:53] <Agent_bob> ean you speak geek ?    what are you trying to do, cause i don't understand that.
[21:53] <nomopofomo> alraune, it is listed as plug'n'play but my brand is not there in the list
[21:54] <xintron> usser: Thanks!
[21:54] <alraune> nomopofomo: you know the spec of that moni ? horizontal/vertical refresh rates ?
[21:54] <dorothy> WhatsHisName_Sea: coola bulla I'm going down for reboot. thanks for your help
[21:54] <dorothy> exit
[21:54] <alraune> nomopofomo: you know the spec of that moni ? horizontal/vertical refresh rates ?  check out at vendors HP, google is your friend !
[21:54] <nomopofomo> alraune, no, could I find it on the manufacturer website? i know the max resolution is 1680x1050 and it is currently running at 51 hz
[21:54] <WhatsHisName_Sea> dorothy: You're welcome! ;)
[21:54] <Ean> Agent_bob, Geek? I want to have my HDD as a folder under my home folder /home/user.
[21:55] <usser> xintron, dont forget to do sudo passwd and set the root password otherwise cups might not let u in
[21:55] <Agent_bob> Ean ok  set up /etc/fstab to mount it there
[21:55] <woddf2> I am having trouble upgrading from 6.06 Dapper to 8.04 Hardy.
[21:55] <woddf2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/38039/
[21:55] <xintron> usser: Got it working :)
[21:55] <Pirate_Hunter> woddf2: dont upgrade avoid that, do clean install (backup files first)
[21:56] <woddf2> I do not have a Hardy disc!
[21:56] <woddf2> My CD burner can no longer write!
[21:56] <alraune> nomopofomo: if you own no data sheet, vendors hp could help, 51 Hz is very poor| crt/lcd ? size ? built in ?
[21:56] <Pirate_Hunter> woddf2: download iso, burn, load it on boot, install its that simple than upgrade packages
[21:56] <woddf2> My CD burner can no longer write!
[21:56] <Agent_bob> Ean i don't know what fs you are talking about.  but if some M$ fs then you will need to specify uid/gid/?mask  or it won't be accessable to the yesr in question.   if a linux fs then just own it once mounted.
[21:57] <Pirate_Hunter> woddf2: ahhh do it from windows with wubi
[21:57] <Agent_bob> s/yesr/user
[21:57] <Pirate_Hunter> woddf2: that is if you have windows otherwise let me check your link i doubt ill be helpful
[21:57] <Ean> Agent_bob, Ok, when I have edited my fstab file, can I reload it without restatign my system? :/
[21:57] <nomopofomo> alraune, http://www.sceptre.com/Products/LCD/Specifications/spec_x22wg_1080p.htm
[21:57] <Rocknzen> does anyone here have any experiance setting up twinview?
[21:58] <usser> Ean, yes sure, do sudo mount -a
[21:58] <Ean> Agent_bob, Just that when I installed Ubuntu I mounted the disk as /hallonsaft, but I didn't get any privilegies... ...
[21:58] <Pirate_Hunter> woddf2: thats minor just packages that failled to get fetched try sudo update than upgrade and try again otherwise....
[21:58] <Agent_bob> Ean you don't "load" it per'se  mount just reads from it.    sudo mount -a   will mount what ever is in there with an auto mount setting
[21:58] <Pirate_Hunter> !upgrade
[21:58] <minus198> Hi.. Where can I find my own SSH key?
[21:59] <woddf2> @Pirate_Hunter Thanks
[21:59] <nomopofomo> alraune, i am interested in the part that says "scanning frequency" on that page
[21:59] <Agent_bob> Ean sounds like an M$ file system   ?
[21:59] <Ean> Agent_bob, I meant more like reload the fstab so it used the new settigns... :P
[21:59] <Pirate_Hunter> woddf2: was going to tell you to check ubottu link but i guess youve done it already and np
[21:59] <qr> minus198: private keys are ususally stored in ~/.ssh/id_something files
[21:59] <Konner> Can someone help me with Ndiswrapper and Xubuntu i installed my drivers but its not working
[21:59] <Agent_bob> again you don't load the fstab file at any time.
[22:00] <foxhound_> how to know which is my grafix card ?
[22:00] <foxhound_> i need to know the number
[22:00] <Rocknzen> does anyone here have any experiance setting up twinview?
[22:00] <minus198> qr> And if there aren't any files in that dir? Only the dir /known_hosts is in that directory
[22:00] <Ean> Agent_bob, No, its just a simple ext3 system...
[22:00] <alraune> nomopofomo:poor boy, lol | look for a generic lcd matching horizontal 25-82hz, vertical 50-75 Hz
[22:00] <qr> minus198: then you probably don't have a private key, you need to generate one using ssh-keygen
[22:00] <Firefishe> I'm running 8.04 from a live cd.  I have a pcmcia cardbus dual usb 2.0 card plugged in to the cardbus slot, but the system doesn't recognize it.
[22:00] <minus198> qr> ok.. Thanks
[22:00] <Agent_bob> Ean ok then fstab has nothing to do with permissions on it.    you will have to won or mod the fs root
[22:01] <Agent_bob> Ean example;   sudo chown ean /mountpoint/blah/
[22:01] <nathanr> Anyone know how to uninstall Ubuntu Desktop from the command-line. I only want server applications.

[22:02] <ljkljlkjlk> hi everyone
[22:02] <Ean> Agent_bob, but I got a NTFS, M$ in a folder under /home. That partition isn't listed under fstab, how can I change it to /home/user? :P
[22:02] <Firefishe> Pelo:  Thanks :)
[22:03] <Konner> i think 8.04 is crap compaired to 7.10
[22:03] <Pelo> Konner, I don' tknow much about wifi , sorry,  try looking up your wifi card in the forum , maybe there is a trick in there
[22:03] <badkitty> Konner: interesting, wh yis that?
[22:03] <Rocknzen> Yes I did look there I am almost there with my aetup but
[22:03] <badkitty> RockzenL what type of card do you have?
[22:03] <alraune> nomopofomo:found a match ?
[22:03] <nomopofomo> alraune, no :(
[22:03] <usser> xintron, lm-sensors
[22:03] <Rocknzen> he only thing I need to fix now is the rsolution
[22:03] <Agent_bob> Ean that partition also has no ownership/permissions bits.   so it's a mount option that sets those things.   sudo mount -o remount,umask=000 /mount/point/
[22:03] <nomopofomo> alraune, how can I learn to write my own driver file for this monitor? is it in xorg.conf?
[22:03] <alraune> nomopofomo:wait , start gtk myself
[22:04] <ljkljlkjlk> someone knows is there a program for mdadm web monitoring?
[22:04] <Firefishe> What is the name of the old pcmcia .deb package with the 'cardctl' command in it?
[22:04] <Rocknzen> I am using an hp pavillion with nvidia card
[22:04] <alraune> nomopofomo:yes
[22:04] <Konner> my wireless worked fine in 7.10 but in 8.04 it doesnt work
[22:04] <Pelo> ljkljlkjlk, try in synaptic,  search for mdadm
[22:04] <Firefishe> Konner:  you have a broadcom card?
[22:04] <Konner> its known as one its a linksys card its WMP54GS
[22:04] <Agent_bob> Ean you would probably be well advised to either enroll in linux file systems 101   or visit the infonode !ntfs
[22:04] <Agent_bob> !ntfs > Ean
[22:05] <Konner> its alternate driver is brodocom
[22:05] <Rocknzen> I have my second screen up and running which is a 50" plasma but I dont have the resolution on it right
[22:05] <squires1993> hi any body wa help
[22:05] <ljkljlkjlk> Pelo: its just the mdadm util listed
[22:05] <Firefishe> Konner:  If it's a broadcom card, chances are you need the b43-fwcutter package.
[22:05] <Pelo> Rocknzen, have you tried editing xorg.conf to add the extra res to that monitor ?
[22:05] <Konner> okay
[22:05] <nomopofomo> alraune, should I just read this page from x.org? http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html
[22:05] <Ean> Agent_bob, Ok, thanks for the help. I will try to read that ^^
[22:06] <Firefishe> Konner...I've had a lot of experience with this, so if you'd like, go ahead and pm me and I'll walk you through it.

[22:15] <Pelo> Rocknzen,  I told you all Icould,  check in here  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[22:15] <s3a> how do i update alsa to version 1.0.17?
[22:15] <alraune> nomopofomo ;this is less then the specs of your screen, but will give a good start for xorg.conf and should allow to change res at all
[22:16] <ali1234> i have a problem with sound. if i run a program that uses SDL it blocks all the gnome programs from making sound. but if one attempts to play a sound, when i quit the SDL app, i heard that sound over and over in a loop until i reboot my computer, and also gnome panel freezes.
[22:16] <Rocknzen> Pelo I did check that but you said something earlier about adding a lin into the xconfig
[22:16] <battlesquid> KurtKraut: you should make sure the /etc/rc.local contains exit 0
[22:16] <Agent_bob> rikkimaru boot a live cd   chroot into the system and run passwd 'guest_name'
[22:17] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: why do you need to upgrade?

[22:17] <Rocknzen> Pelo can you just repeat that and explain where to add it it?
[22:17] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: i upgraded motherboard and its sound issues are solved in that version for its built-in audio card
[22:17] <Pelo> Rocknzen, edit  /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,  see if there is a set of lins for your monitor,  see if you can add the extra resolutions you need to it
[22:17] <squires1993> the problem is that i can not instal the programs on the applications menu
[22:17] <shockwave_> I have a DSL modem, with internal ip <IP_ADDRESS>, and a router with ip <IP_ADDRESS> to which my home server is connected. It has access to the internet. Is it possible to somehow directed the trafic coming to the DSL modem (<IP_ADDRESS>) to the server in <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:17] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: hm, i don't know.. try google and you'll likely find the source.
[22:18] <KurtKraut> battlesquid, I'll try that... thanks.
[22:18] <devius> pelo: may be you  can help me deperately i need help my graphics card accelerator dosent function the way it should, very bad video rendering, plz help
[22:18] <shockwave_> The router is connected to the DSL modem
[22:18] <Mac32geek> i have a server called WINNT4enterpirse
[22:18] <ali1234> shockwave_: look for a "DMZ" setting
[22:18] <Agent_bob> rikkimaru when you say you "reset the root password" do you mean the actual root or the root jr. / first user account ?      and by reset is that  locked the account or  entered a new password ?
[22:18] <Mac32geek> passwd root
[22:18] <Pirate_Hunter> Pelo: recommend them to try set res through gksudo gtk-displayconfig see if that works for them instead of editing xorg.conf
[22:19] <Pelo> devius, I don'T know much about video stuff, sorry,  I can barely manage my own nvidia card,  just use envyng, to setup the latest driver, taht should help , assuming your video card is either nvidia or ati
[22:19] <shockwave_> ali1234, Both the modem and the router have that. Which one should I be messing with?
[22:19] <Rocknzen> Pelo ok can you just give me the code to call up the file
[22:19] <Mac32geek> bRbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
[22:19] <Pelo> Pirate_Hunter, take over,  I know little about this stuff
[22:19] <rikkimaru> Agent_bob, I mean the actual root.  I don't understand your second question.
[22:19] <squires1993> pelo the problem is that i can not instal the programs on the applications menu
[22:19] <ali1234> shockwave_: depends how you have set it up
[22:19] <Pelo> Rocknzen, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:19] <Rocknzen> Pelo thanks
[22:19]  * Mac32geek
[22:19] <Pirate_Hunter> Pelo: me too i just suggested as it is easier than doing all that
[22:19] <devius> pelo: its intel
[22:20] <ali1234> shockwave_: if your DSL modem is in half-bridge mode, then you need to do it on the router. if you have a double-nat set up, then both
[22:20] <Pelo> squires1993,  if it is not a gui program it won'T show in the menu,  you'll only be able to start it using the comand line,  unless you make a launcher for it in the menu,   right click on application in the top menu bar
[22:20] <Mac32geek> im testing my FTP server
[22:20] <Mac32geek> still not up
[22:20] <Agent_bob> rikkimaru well some would call it resetting the root password if they locked the root account   i.e.   sudo passwd -dl root
[22:20] <Master_SP> is 1.5Mbps good for $30 a month?
[22:20] <Mac32geek> $passwd root
[22:20] <shockwave_> ali1234, they're in different subnets. 192.168.1 and 192.168.2 - That should still work, right
[22:20] <Mac32geek> NO!

[22:21] <Pirate_Hunter> Rocknzen: before messing with xorg.conf for youre resolution try command gksudo gtk-displayconfig and set your resolution there, it should aks you to log off before settings are applied
[22:21] <Agent_bob> rikkimaru but i am assuming you did something like   sudo passwd root      and entered a password two times.
[22:21] <ali1234> shockwave_: like, i said, it depends how you have set it up
[22:21] <devius> anyone help with an intel graphics accelerator problem

[22:22] <alraune> nomopofomo:?still here ?

[22:22] <squires1993> pelo when i click on add and remove programs it install like normal but when it starts downloading it comes up with a error
[22:23] <Agent_bob> rikkimaru most everyone here will advise you to lock the root account.    but IF you want to use a root password, while you are in the liveCD chroot    set also the root password again.  it may be that you typo'd the first attempt.
[22:23] <Mac32geek> !enter ljkljkljkljklk
[22:23] <devius> pelo: though the desktop and display is fine
[22:23] <shockwave_> ali1234, the modem only has one ethernet port, onto which the router is plugged.

[22:24] <ali1234> shockwave_: so does the 192.168.2.* network use routing or NAT?
[22:24] <matlab> If I use the command "sudo tar -c foldername" will tar archive preserve all the permissions of the folder and its subfolders and their subfolders?
[22:24] <tritium> Gbu: several ways: kill, killall and pkill commands all work
[22:24] <dorito> I was told that this might have to do with audio backends but how do you configure them so that every program connect into a separate one
[22:24] <Mac32geek> idk
[22:25] <Pelo> devius, what chipset ?
[22:25] <Mac32geek> im not allowed to use liux

[22:27] <ali1234> shockwave_: in answer to your question, you can probably make it work by setting the DMZ option in the modem to <IP_ADDRESS> and the DMZ option in the router to <IP_ADDRESS> (or whatever the IP was)

[22:30] <Pirate_Hunter> dorito: for flash get latest flash9/10 (some ppl have problems with 10) and install libflashsupport as well that should do the job
[22:30] <dorito> Pirate_Hunter let me try that ill come back to you
[22:30] <Pelo> KurtKraut, if you don'T want to put the full pat you save your script to /bin or /usr/bin
[22:30] <dorito> thanks ali1234 and Pelo
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Pelo: he never said he'd tried it, so I was asking if he had or not
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Pelo:  take a chill pill
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Pelo: it was a simple question
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Pelo: if he had he could have said "yes" and i'd move on
[22:31] <Nobuddy> greetings howdy hello and good day.

[22:32] <ActionParsnip> Nobuddy: shoot it man
[22:32] <Nobuddy> Anybody know where I set color depth in Hardy heron?
[22:32] <DarkMage2303> On Ubuntu 8.0.4 what do I have to configure on wine to let me play  on world of warcraft?

[22:33] <Pelo> Nobuddy, you could always comment out the colour depts you don't want in xorg.conf
[22:33] <Nobuddy> I looked there, the config just says "Configured graphics" instead of having any settings
[22:34] <neuling> hello every body
[22:34] <pdlnhrd> this might be an advance question... but i can create a vpn connection on interface tun0  but I only want to route certain traffic to this interface and the rest of the traffic to eth0   anyone have any ideas?

[22:38] <Nobuddy> any idea where I can change color depth if there are no such settings in xorg.conf?
[22:38] <matlab> ActionParsnip, I dont mind it being owned by root. So it will "sudo tar -c foldername" work?

[22:41] <Pirate_Hunter> dorito: np
[22:41] <struja> gdeste  girll,
[22:41] <Nobuddy> in past distros I have used, i just edited xorg.conf to change ColorDepth to 16. there are no settings in heron, so I am now lost as to where to change this.
[22:41] <dorito> you were missing a package though, still youtube sound is dead when audacious or vlc are open
[22:41] <`brooks> Q: Does Ubuntu have limited RAR support, or is there an extention that provides more complete support?
[22:42] <ASrock> a folder is locked i have admin privleges and i cant figure out how to add a new file to this folder how can i?
[22:42] <dorito> thanks tons
[22:42] <ali1234> dorito, Pelo: i got it working. i turned off pulse audio completely (in prefs->sound, change the top two items to "ALSA" instead of "autodetect")
[22:42] <Tumie> i'm back / ik ben terug
[22:42] <Pirate_Hunter> Nobuddy: try checking man xrandr and see if you can find something there
[22:43] <pdlnhrd> `brooks:   did you try sudo apt-get install rar?   (it is shareware though)
[22:44] <`brooks> i'll give it a shot.  i can use some rars.  but my win partition can open a few that my nix one can not.
[22:45] <alraune>  `brooks:check unp
[22:45] <`brooks> pdlnhr: thx, apt-get worked fine ;}
[22:46] <csa3d> anyone here might be able to help me out?  I'm trying to figure out how to create "display profiles", such that I can use dual monitors or only my laptop display.
[22:47] <pdlnhrd> `brooks:  system -> administration -> Synaptic Manager   search rar.....  there are a few options... it is surprising how much stuff it allready out there for you
[22:47] <soulc> any known work around for cron not executing scripts?
[22:47] <Nobuddy> brooks, you might try 7Zip for rar files. I prefer it. sudo apt-get install p7zip
[22:47] <pdlnhrd> soulc: does it have execute permissions
[22:47] <soulc> yeah
[22:47] <meoblast001> pulseaudio blows
[22:47] <`brooks> gotcha.
[22:47] <Agent_bob> soulc where did you put the script ?
[22:48] <pdlnhrd> soulc:  whats the path
[22:48] <linuxrookie> can somebody tell me the path of the filesystem of a live cd?
[22:48] <Agent_bob> linuxrookie  /
[22:48] <linuxrookie> hmm
[22:48] <soulc> the perl screenshot script is in my personal dir and so is the shell script that runs it
[22:48] <pdlnhrd> linuxrookie:  what are you loooking for exactly?
[22:48] <Nobuddy> there is something horibly wrong with my Xwindows, isn't there?
[22:49] <linuxrookie> i need the xorg.conf file
[22:49] <meoblast001> whatever happened to ALSA... i want alsa back... now.. when i want to listen to music... if music doesnt play.. i have to go around closing all my apps to figure out which one is blocking the new app from playing audio.... when ALSA was around, every app could play audio regardless of other apps
[22:49] <Agent_bob> soulc and how did you set cron to run it ?
[22:49] <linuxrookie> i want to copy it
[22:49] <soulc> let me paste-bin it
[22:49] <Nobuddy> isn't there a multi-streaming ALSA out caled ALSA-OSS?
[22:49] <pdlnhrd> linuxrookie: it is usually at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:49] <ladyfantasy> could someone tell me what package i need to install to get the standard C library (and C++ if available) man pages?
[22:50] <meoblast001> Nobuddy: idk but we're being forced to use pulse and i dont like it
[22:50] <sally_> I installed hardy over the network, but didn't select any of the desktops when it asked what else I wanted to install.  So I have just a base console system.  What package do I need to install so that I get everything that would have been installed if I had picked "Gnome Desktop" during the installation process?
[22:50] <Agent_bob> Nobuddy alsa-oss exists,  is not new.
[22:50] <Nobuddy> Ahh. was not aware of that
[22:50] <linuxrookie> yes, i know. but thats the filesystem of my hd installed linux
[22:50] <pdlnhrd> ladyfantasy:  if you need a build enviroment  you could sudo apt-get build-essentials
[22:50] <Agent_bob> meoblast001 forced ?
[22:51] <Nobuddy> yea, I'm old school. Hardy is my first real update to linux since I put RH7 on my laptop.
[22:51] <meoblast001> Agent_bob: someone told me that most apps work with pulse only now.. and if you dont have pulse, it wont work
[22:51] <pdlnhrd> linuxrookie:  do you mean you want to copy the Xorg.conf file from when you are running the live cd to your local HD?
[22:51] <linuxrookie> yes
[22:51] <ladyfantasy> pdlnhrd: can't find package build-essentials
[22:51] <Agent_bob> meoblast001 so don't use those screwy apps.
[22:51] <Agent_bob> ;/
[22:51]  * Agent_bob is like "force this *****"
[22:52] <Nobuddy> Ok, back to the drawing board on figuring out 16 bit color. rats.
[22:52] <meoblast001> Agent_bob: idk.. i just had to close timidity and flash to get Songbird to play the song Yahhh
[22:52] <ladyfantasy> pdlnhrd: i have the compilers, etc... all installed, i just need the man pages for C functions
[22:52] <linuxrookie> my problem is that i can't find the filesystem of the live cd
[22:52] <linuxrookie> if i follow the / path i just get to the hd installed files
[22:52] <Nobuddy> Another question. Is there a tool or driver to grab files off my iPhone?
[22:53] <Agent_bob> linuxrookie oh. wait you mean from an installed system  the cd is mounted ?

[23:02] <FarmCretin> so far i got find backup/ -name *.jpg|xargs -0 mv {} bdad/

[23:02] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash:  i have only used USB ones though
[23:03] <qr> FarmCretin: like find ... stuff... -exec mv {} target/. \;
[23:03] <sally_> foobuntu: it makes you run the command as the root user
[23:03] <pdlnhrd> put quotes are '{}'  if there is spaces and stuff

[23:04] <Agent_bob> foobuntu why not ?
[23:04] <LogicalDash> pdlnhrd: I'm pretty sure it should create a new virtual device
[23:04] <FarmCretin> qr: find backup/ -name *.jpg -exec mv {} bdad/
[23:04] <FarmCretin> find: missing argument to `-exec'
[23:04] <foobuntu> cause I get permission denied

[23:04] <TheClam> Hiya - can someone please tell me why my system with a netgear ma401 card shows up two interfaces, wlan0 and wifi0, both with the same MAC and crypto settings?
[23:04] <foobuntu> just trying to create files in the webroot
[23:04] <Agent_bob> foobuntu gksudo nautilus

[23:05] <RandyboY> What can be wrong if im not able to browse a network machine (windows) but can mount shares from it?
[23:05] <usser> TheClam, wifi0 is an internally used interface, just ignore it
[23:05] <Agent_bob> foobuntu use sparingly
[23:05] <Nobuddy> well, no one seems to know, so I added DefaultDepth 24 to the screen section in xorg.conf. Wish me luck while I restart this puppy.
[23:05] <TheClam> usser: it's stuffing things up, I can't ignore it. ARP entries get tied to it and I then can't communicate with those hosts
[23:06] <foobuntu> thank you, thats a start
[23:06] <Mac32geek> o.. kay...
[23:06] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash:  i am sorry... but it is beyond my scope... which i could help more... it seems right... i would assume it would mount a directory in /media on insertion
[23:06] <Agent_bob> foobuntu may i ask why you are creating files and dirs out side your home ?
[23:06] <FarmCretin> qr: sorry for being a bit thick, but      find backup/ -name *.jpg -exec mv {} bdad/\;
[23:06] <LogicalDash> pdlnhrd: that's not happening
[23:06] <FarmCretin> find: missing argument to `-exec'
[23:06] <amenado> what is it qr ?
[23:06] <foobuntu> web dev
[23:07] <LogicalDash> OK, what service or program is used to create the folders in /media?
[23:07] <foobuntu> trying to learn php on linux
[23:07] <Agent_bob> FarmCretin have to end -exec with a \;
[23:07] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash:  let me google a second
[23:07] <TheClam> usser: i.e. I just rebooted it and though it associated with the AP, I couldn't ping it... go on the console and it's got a correct ARP against wlan0 and an incomplete against wifi0. Down and up wifi0 and all's good, but you need local access to do that
[23:07] <qr> FarmCretin:  you need a space before \;
[23:07] <Agent_bob> foobuntu fair enough.
[23:07] <qr> amenado: what is what?
[23:07] <FarmCretin> thanks, i think that did it
[23:08] <amenado> qr you are the one that mentions my nick, what do you want?
[23:08] <usser> TheClam, thats strange wifi0 usually doesnt interfere
[23:08] <foobuntu> I guess I could create a www dir under my home and point a virtual to that?
[23:08] <TheClam> usser: it's a real pain in the behind!
[23:08] <qr> amenado: must have been by accident... I'm not sure why I would have done that.
[23:08] <qr> amenado: sorry :\
[23:08] <foobuntu> but will apache and php have issues accessing them
[23:08] <webble> how do i mount external hard drive?
[23:08] <gam3r111> can i get windows movie maker to work in ubuntu
[23:08] <Agent_bob> foobuntu i wasn't trying to discurrage   just currious  that's all
[23:08] <LogicalDash> webble: typically they mount automatically when you plug them in, is that not happening?
[23:09] <TheClam> usser: best I can think of to do is maybe a post-up... but it's not that predictable, some boots it just works :o\
[23:09] <foobuntu> oh, gatcha bob
[23:09] <amenado> qr oh okay, i was taking a nap and it buzzed me :P
[23:09] <webble> it gave me a popup error
[23:09] <webble> doesnt look like it detects the hd
[23:09] <Agent_bob> foobuntu you could also add that user the the http group and/or any other involved group.
[23:09] <usser> TheClam, im not sure that wifi0 is really your problem there
[23:09] <LogicalDash> webble: what does the error say?
[23:09] <gam3r111> can i get windows movie maker to work in ubuntu
[23:10] <LogicalDash>  ! wine | gam3r111
[23:10] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash:  I am finding a couple bugs... this is an older one, but maybe you can just mount it   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/53923
[23:10] <egyn> Hi, i've seen an alternative to lm-sensors but cannot remember its name. The app contains a vertical window which you can configure to show not only temperatures but also hd-activity/networkactivity etc. The name of the app is a little weird, anyone know?
[23:10] <qr> gam3r111: very very unlikely, but you can try wine.
[23:10] <Agent_bob> groups is where tiz at.

[23:10] <qr> gam3r111: then no, you can't. Wine would be the only way.

[23:13] <csa3d> I am looking for a method to switch display profiles between laptop and external monitor attached modes.. any suggestions?
[23:13] <Agent_bob> pdlnhrd maybe i'll find that some day....
[23:13] <myosound> hey guys, does anyone know how to kill the window decoration transparency in hardy?
[23:14] <TheClam> usser: I tried blacklisting hostap stuff earlier and it didn't create wifi0... but not wlan0 either. I followed a different method, though, so will try this now....
[23:14] <Fredd> is there anyway to make the ubuntu gnome panel menu not close after a mouse click on an item?
[23:14] <pdlnhrd> Agent_bob:  i think we will have real open-source 3d accelerated drivers for ATI before NVidia
[23:14] <LogicalDash> myosound: easiest way is to go into System -> Settings -> Appearance and set desktop effects to None
[23:15] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash:  did you get my message?   did you try to just mount the SD card yourself?
[23:15] <myosound> LogicalDash: well that certainly works, but I don't want to disable compiz, just the fake vista effect
[23:15] <NodeRazor> Hello, does any one in here know of any good bookmark organizer for gnome (not in firefox or any browser please). Standalone.
[23:15] <Agent_bob> pdlnhrd i wasn't singing nv's praises either...
[23:15] <LogicalDash> pdlnhrd: I tried that before, but I couldn't find the device in /dev
[23:15] <LogicalDash> myosound: you could install compizconfig and use that to turn off transparency
[23:15] <Agent_bob> !info bookmarks
[23:16] <pdlnhrd> LocicalDash:   nothing like   /dev/mmcblk0p1  ?
[23:16] <soulc> so no new screenshots
[23:16] <LogicalDash> pdlnhrd: I ran ls /dev before and after putting the card in, and did a diff on the results, and I got nothing
[23:16] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash:  sorry I am just throwing out ideas now... i wish I could help more
[23:17] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash: sounds like you are out of luck till maybe a kernel upgrade...  :(
[23:17] <myosound> LogicalDash: thats what I thought at first, but there is not a control setting for the transparency
[23:17] <Agent_bob> soulc i'm not a crontab expert by any means.  but that line "should" work.  i'm not familear with  10/*   that "might" be a problem...  idk.
[23:17] <myosound> the closest I see is the drop shadow controls in the window decorator tab
[23:18] <TheClam> usser: just rebooting that box now... soon see if it kills or cures :)
[23:18] <usser> TheClam, hehe
[23:18] <pdlnhrd> soulc:   are you trying for every ten minutes?
[23:18] <dorito> so uh everytime I try to enable the visual effects from the appearances control pannel I get : desktop effects could not be enabled, I have an ATI x1600 pro and the latest drivers how can this be?
[23:18] <soulc> I looked up cron entries that is for every 10 mins
[23:19] <soulc> is that not right?
[23:19] <Agent_bob> soulc yes i knew the intent.  just don't know if the syntax is correct
[23:19] <pdlnhrd> soulc:  i think it is the other way around */10
[23:19] <myosound> LogicalDash: I do see that compiz is running 'compiz-decorator'. do you know what that command is calling, and how to change that?
[23:19] <soulc> ah I will try that then
[23:19] <Ayabara> is there a free and good alternative for capturing raw-images from a camera?
[23:19] <pdlnhrd> soulc:  [quote]so if you want to say ``every two hours'', just use ``*/2''. [/quote]
[23:19] <KhuntienNang> how do I copy and paste to terminal? i used ctrl c and ctrl v, doesnt seem to work?
[23:20] <Bruno_F> write paste (?)
[23:20] <pdlnhrd> KhuntienNang:  it is shit ctrl c
[23:20] <[ipc]-michael> shift-ctrl-v
[23:20] <Agent_bob> !vidiocam > Ayabara
[23:20] <crdlb> myosound: gconf-editor /apps/gwd
[23:20] <dorito> please anyone?
[23:20] <pdlnhrd> oops ... i mean shift
[23:20] <LogicalDash> myosound: I recall being able to use one configurator or another to disable transparency; there are several programs to configure compiz
[23:20] <TheClam> usser: no dice... though I still have both interfaces so I guess it didn't do anything (apart from add a weird little triangle after my ESSID)
[23:20] <Ayabara> dorito: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-effects?
[23:20] <crdlb> myosound: enable "metacity_theme_shade_opacity"
[23:20] <KhuntienNang> oh okay, thanks!
[23:20] <[ipc]-michael> np
[23:20] <dorito> Ayabara I wasnt aware of the existence of that channel I will now thanks
[23:20] <KhuntienNang> pdlnhrd: lol. thanks :D

[23:21] <Ayabara> dorito: np. good luck :)
[23:21] <Ayabara> Agent_bob: ubottu didn't know about vidiocam :).
[23:21] <TheClam> usser: erm, hold fire, may have pasted that in the wrong box
[23:21] <dorito> People in here are really nice unlike some other places I tried to get help from
[23:21] <dorito> you guys rock.
[23:22] <Ayabara> !videocam
[23:22] <LogicalDash> pdlnhrd: Thanks anyway
[23:22] <myosound> crdlb: awesome! that was exactly it
[23:22] <myosound> thanks alot
[23:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> does ubuntu use glibc?
[23:22] <crdlb> myosound: you can blame ubuntu for changing that default ;)
[23:22] <Agent_bob> CostaRicanQuaker libc6
[23:22] <crdlb> CostaRicanQuaker: yes
[23:23] <myosound> crdlb: heh. oh I'm not too hard on them
[23:23] <pdlnhrd> LogicalDash:  it sounded like you already did everything i would have... nice to bounce ideas around though
[23:23] <myosound> crdlb: everything else works great. just a matter of aesthetics I guess
[23:23] <Agent_bob> soulc after some research i'm inclined to believe that it's  */10 rather than 10/*
[23:23] <myosound> I really don't understand why people use linux and try to make it look like vista
[23:24] <crdlb> myosound: I keep forgetting to ask the ubuntu compiz packagers why they changed that
[23:24] <KhuntienNang> what irc program do you guys use?
[23:24] <[[mandrix]]> hi
[23:24] <pdlnhrd> Agent_bob:  i just read the docs... it is */10
[23:24] <magnetron> !irc > KhuntienNang
[23:24] <Gin> myosound, OS is not only about look and feel. some ppl like the vista theme
[23:24] <[[mandrix]]> may i ask how to setup a static ip in my ubuntu server 8.04
[23:24] <[[mandrix]]> ?
[23:24] <pdlnhrd> KhutienNang:  I like pidgin and it comes preinstalled
[23:25] <pdlnhrd> mandrix:   http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[23:25] <marisa> hola
[23:25] <pdlnhrd> mandrix:  much easier to read that
[23:25] <jpds> !es | marisa
[23:25] <KhuntienNang> oh, i havent even tried pidgin yet. i didnt know it works for irc
[23:25] <[[mandrix]]> thanks
[23:25] <myosound> Gin: sorry, didn't mean to troll. I've just never used windows before, so I guess it strikes me as a bit off
[23:26] <pdlnhrd> KhuntienNang:   pidgin works with everything
[23:26] <TheClam> while I'm in here, anyone know how to make middle button in firefox open the url in the cut buffer rather than bring up that windows-style scroller widget?
[23:26] <KhuntienNang> hah. i should give it a try later. right now im on irssi. im have just used ubuntu for a few days. lol. a lot to learn
[23:26] <marisa> no entenriendo ingles
[23:27] <NodeRazor> Does any one know where to find gnomeConf.sh file? I am trying to compile Gnobog (bookmakrs organizer) and getting this error > gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
[23:27] <pdlnhrd> KhutienNang: use what makes you feel comfortable...that is the great thing.. there are quite a few IRC clients... but i just like to mix my IM with IRC
[23:29] <TheClam> usser: still the same... I've exhausted my imagination as far as search keywords go... should I just bin the NIC or what?
[23:29] <kc8pxy> I'm trying build a custom ubuntu install cd, with my own preseed, as well as a few other things. I'm having trouble trying to re-squash the squashfs.   anyone know how to help with that?
[23:29] <pdlnhrd> noderazor: though about just using a .deb for gnobog ?   http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian/pool/main/g/gnobog/
[23:30] <TheClam> usser: though this machine uses a linksys, which is not free of problems. The GUI configuration tool didn't work on either box
[23:30] <NodeRazor> will try ;-)
[23:30] <tortho> What is the difference of the RT kernel and the normal generic one?
[23:31] <pdlnhrd> NodeRazor:  i can't guarentee it, but seems easier
[23:31] <NodeRazor> well actually there is no x64 package =(
[23:31] <markstos> After partitioning a drive, I used "dd" to copy a smaller partition to a new disk, hoping I'd get all the data, but keep the larger partition size.  But after mounting the new partition, it shows the old, smaller partition size, although fdisk still shows the larger size. Anyone know how to fix this?
[23:31] <NodeRazor> I will need to compile it manually I guess.
[23:31] <pdlnhrd> NodeRazor:  sorry, i tried
[23:31] <NodeRazor> hehe thank you
[23:32] <markstos> tortho: I suspect RT stands for "Real-Time", so I further suspect it has optimizations for low-latency.
[23:32] <Agent_bob> markstos i wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pool
[23:32] <will00> i have an asus m50 laptop and it has built in ir, i recently acquired an hp ir remote for one of their laptops, is there a way that i could use this remote with this computer?
[23:32] <pdlnhrd> tortho:  a RT is a real time kernel    it is often used in music when latency is an issue
[23:32] <NodeRazor> They have ia64 but not amd64 or any platform.
[23:32] <Agent_bob> pole even
[23:32] <kc8pxy> why would mksquashfs complain about a broken symlink, within the squashfs image?
[23:32] <markstos> Agent_bob: :) The good news is that the new drive is just a copy, so I can wipe it and start over if I need to.
[23:33] <kc8pxy> NodeRazor:  uhhh..  what are yu runing then?
[23:33] <usser> TheClam, i dunno what to tell u, i tried removing wifi0 myself but after ubuntu info reassured me its normal i kinda stopped trying
[23:33] <Agent_bob> markstos you need to.   you can't dd accross size boundries
[23:33] <tortho> pdlnhrd: So, I will be just fine with running the RT kernel all the time..? Cinelerra needed it to run...
[23:33] <NodeRazor> Ubuntu 8.04.1 x64
[23:33] <NodeRazor> Core2Quad
[23:34] <Agent_bob> markstos mkfs.ext3 the partition.   and tar everything over.
[23:34] <pdlnhrd> NodeRazor: search for amd64 .deb gnobog.... you'll find a copy if that is the route you want
[23:34] <TheClam> usser: cheers for the help. I guess it's just one of those annoying things! Hopefully will be phasing that machine out once I get qmail running on this one anyway
[23:34] <kc8pxy> NodeRazor:  core2quad is compatible with amd64
[23:34] <NodeRazor> yes
[23:34] <pdlnhrd> tortho:  yeah... it won't hurt anything... but if you are playing music and games at the same time you might notice one lag over the other
[23:34] <Agent_bob> markstos or rsync even
[23:34] <Agent_bob> heck   cp -a   for that atter
[23:35] <duairc> Okay, I have a directory called www, and I want everything in the group www-data to have rwx access to it, but I don't want anybody else to have access to it. I've chmodded the directory (recursively) to 770, but now I can't read anything in it (I've added the account I'm using to www-data). I suspect I'm doing something wrong, what is it though?
[23:35] <markstos> Agent_bob: I understand the approach you are suggesting. I'll give that a shot.
[23:35] <NodeRazor> where can I find gnome-libs-dev, it seems to have gnomeConf.sh file in it...
[23:35] <pdlnhrd> NodeRazor: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/debian-amd64/debian-amd64/pool/main/g/gnobog/
[23:35] <tortho> pdlnhrd: so... it runs something in RT and let the rest get "whats left"..?
[23:35] <NodeRazor> wow nice
[23:35] <pdlnhrd> NodeRazor:  i prefer debs because of it deals with dependiences
[23:35] <NodeRazor> yeah me too
[23:35] <markstos> duairc: You can mean, you can't read it from the web, or from the file system?
[23:36] <NodeRazor> Thank You, pdlnhrd
[23:36] <duairc> I can't read it from the filesystem.
[23:36] <markstos> duairc: Run "groups" . Does it show you in the right group?
[23:36] <kc8pxy> noone has a comment on my squashfs issue?
[23:36] <jpiwowar> anyoen familar with pidgin
[23:36] <pdlnhrd> tortho:  it is a little more complex than that... it just means when a resource is scheduled to run at a certain time it will run regardless of what else is going on...
[23:36] <NodeRazor> I get this error now LOL > Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libdb3
[23:36] <kc8pxy> jpiwowar:  yes
[23:37] <markstos> kc8pxy: Try a more specific mailing list or a channel. It's a fairly specific technical issue.
[23:37] <pdlnhrd> NodeRazor: sorry :(  i tried
[23:37] <jpiwowar> im trying to get gadu-gadu on it
[23:37] <tortho> pdlnhrd: Okay, think I know... Thanks!
[23:37] <jpiwowar> it is not one of the option
[23:37] <Agent_bob> kc8pxy there is a wiki page dedicated to "customizing the live cd"  you should visit it.
[23:37] <kc8pxy> markstos:  what would be the appropriate channel?
[23:37] <jpiwowar> however it says pidgin supports it
[23:37] <duairc> markstos: No actually, it just says "admin". I ran `usermod -a -G www-data duairc`, that should add me to www-data, right?
[23:37] <markstos> kc8pxy: I don't know.
[23:37] <pdlnhrd> tortho:  i took a couple CS classes about that topic...  but if you are going to be doing sound and video... a RT kernel is good
[23:38] <markstos> duairc: I'm not certain about that, but I know sometimes you have to log out and back into a shell for group changes to take effect.
[23:38] <kc8pxy> Agent_bob:  all the pages i found seemed a bit old.    do yu have a modern link?
[23:38] <duairc> Okay, I'll try that, thanks.
[23:38] <jpiwowar> kc8pxy how would i add it i dont know the server name or port
[23:38] <NodeRazor> soulc, most of the http://packages.debian.org/ should work on Ubuntu ?
[23:39] <duairc> markstos: Yep, that worked, thanks!
[23:39] <DarkTan_Linux> i need some help getting my sound card to work,
[23:39] <tortho> pdlnhrd: not really.. gonna grab some dv tapes and edit them a little, but normally just internet/office/music for me... But I'll just stick with the RT then... trying to clean up as I guess there is 15 kernel versions here now..
[23:39] <kc8pxy> gadu gadu is in the options?
[23:39] <DarkTan_Linux> i don't think it is installed, i didn't have a net connection when i did the install
[23:39] <NodeRazor> *so
[23:40] <KenBW2> what sort of configuration does wvdial need
[23:41] <billybigrigger> !hp
[23:41] <mEck0> hi! anyone here running ubuntu 8.04 on a laptop and disturbs of high noise from the fans? doesnt happen in Windows Vista. what could it be? I've seen that when running firefox with several tabs sometimes the fan speed and sound increases. how could one fix this? in windows i most often barely hear the fans...
[23:42] <KenBW2> anyone know anything about setting up a 3G modem?
[23:42] <Weaver> hi @ all
[23:42] <jpjacobs> KenBW2: just found a link to day... second
[23:43] <jpjacobs> KenBW2: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_internet_access_gprs_edge_via_bluetooth_gsm_phone
[23:43] <Starwiz> I need graphics help :|  (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia  GeForce 7150M))
[23:43] <KenBW2> jpjacobs: that applies to the UK?
[23:43] <Narfee> is someone here using LMMS ?
[23:43] <NodeRazor> hehe, well... gnobog will not work then =D
[23:44] <jpjacobs> no idea , i didn't even try it yet
[23:44] <NodeRazor> too much dependancies needed and no ubuntu package available.
[23:44] <simps> Hi all, can anyone direct me to an apt that is able to allow me to view the screen from a remote computer, that is also able to send sound from the server to the remote computer. The server being Ubuntu gutsy and the client being Windows.
[23:44] <jpjacobs> (and apart of that, i'm not in the UK :p)
[23:44] <KenBW2> jpjacobs: thats over bluetooth :(
[23:44] <NodeRazor> simps, VMware
[23:44] <NodeRazor> simps, VirtualBox
[23:45] <Starwiz> I need graphics help :|  (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia  GeForce 7150M))
[23:45] <NodeRazor> simps, VirtualBox, does not support x64 yet.
[23:45] <jpjacobs> KenBW2: then try googleing
[23:45] <markstos> duairc: Great! glad to help.
[23:45] <DarkTan_Linux> can any one help with installin a sound card?
[23:45] <Spudly> simps: tsclient - (you're not looking for a virtual machine, are you?)
[23:45] <Weaver> Help plz! I think i got my wlan work (the notebook with usb stick is connted to my fritz box). The router tells me there is a connection, but i cant use firefox or ping :/
[23:45] <Qster> anyone using irssi know how to get it to reconnect when it loses connection?
[23:45] <Qster> automatically that is
[23:46] <simps> Spudly, NodeRazor, not Virtual Machines, no. just a remote server.
[23:46] <NodeRazor> you can try VMware server
[23:46] <markstos> DarkTan_Linux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[23:46] <Spudly> simps: yep - tsclient (which depends on rdesktop) - that'll do ya
[23:47] <markstos> Weaver: Can you ping an IP address, but not a name?
[23:47] <kc8pxy> markstos: looks like i've followed the howto pretty close..   the only real issue is the fact that the the mksquashfs command in this howto  fails, complaining that one of rhe symlinks in the tree to be squashed, is broken.
[23:47] <kc8pxy> http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm
[23:47] <markstos> Qster: Try #irssi
[23:47] <Elaztic> hi, can anyone help with installation of broadcom wireless b43?
[23:47] <Spudly> simps: if you install tsclient and rdesktop, you should be fine - in tsclient, you can set options for remote sound  coming to local pc (i.e. the one you're connecting from)
[23:48] <Spudly> simps: "remote" being the server you're connecting to (hope that makes sense)
[23:48] <markstos> kc8pxy: Is it a symlink you care about? :)
[23:48] <NodeRazor> simps, you can also try UltraVNC
[23:48] <Starwiz> I need graphics help :|  (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia  GeForce 7150M))
[23:48] <markstos> Elaztic: I installed one recently.  Let think if I can recall how.
[23:48] <simps> Spudly, yea. Do i need to install anything on the server? or does ubuntu come with that already.
[23:48] <kc8pxy> markstos:  no it..  but the squashfs might,   it's a symlink to the initrd :-/
[23:48] <ed0n0n> how can I check the version of a program installed via apt?
[23:49] <Spudly> simps: server = ubuntu... now there's a thing...
[23:49] <Spudly> simps: with Windows, I know RDP has it all inbuilt. ubuntu, not sure...
[23:49] <lopin> My firefox is broken.  It's not loading links...
[23:49] <lopin> As are seamonkey, opera, midori, epiphany, and net-surf
[23:50] <simps> NodeRazor, i just checked the ultravnc website. it does not mention allowing server sounds to be carried to the client. you are sure it does?
[23:50] <simps> Spudly, but i am able to apt-get RDP on ubuntu?
[23:51] <Starwiz> I need graphics help :|  (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia  GeForce 7150M))
[23:51] <Spudly> simps: i believe there is an RDP server... just trying to find out what it's called
[23:51] <Tom_nuggin> Does anyone know a good program that extracts mp3 files from flv files?
[23:51] <Starwiz> Is my problem unsolvable? :S
[23:51] <kc8pxy> markstos:  any ideas?
[23:52] <NodeRazor> simps, I don't remember, I think so.
[23:52] <markstos> kc8pxy: I'm sorry, I'm really not familiar with squashfs. That's why I recommended a more specific help forum. :)
[23:53] <tarwatirno> Starwiz: how did you install the nvidia driver?
[23:53] <NodeRazor> simps, It has > UltraVNC Mirror Driver
[23:53] <NodeRazor> This should work for sound too.
[23:53] <kc8pxy> markstos:  this is already a more specific help forum..  my primary distro is not ubuntu :)
[23:53] <will00> how would i find out how my internal infrared is connected to my laptop?
[23:53] <Starwiz> tarwatirno: I went into the terminal and typed |Sudo init 1| Then, cd and ran the driver.
[23:55] <kc8pxy> will00:  nasty but likely assured way would be to comb dmesg :)
[23:55] <amrik> Hi when I try to build mplayer from source using apt-build I get an error "Missing source package name for source_by_source()." am I missing a line from my apt-sources list?
[23:55] <will00> kc8pxy, what exactly would i be looking for?
[23:55] <Starwiz> tarwatirno:  I went into the terminal and typed |Sudo init 1| Then, cd and ran the driver. (I ran it 2 times though)
[23:55] <tarwatirno> Starwiz: which versio n of the driver are you using?
[23:55] <Starwiz> Ummmm.
[23:56] <kc8pxy> ...... i 'm not sure.. i'm not practiced in working with IR in linux. but if the kernel saw it,  it should be in dmesg, ot /var/log/messages :)
[23:56] <NodeRazor> Does apt-file require any specific ports to be open, or does it work like apt-get ?
[23:56] <Starwiz> tarwatirno:  how do I check
[23:56] <Starwiz> ?
[23:56] <tarwatirno> Starwiz:  the installers filename has a version string at the end
[23:57] <CentHOGG> hello, in FSTAB I've set up a linux partition to show up in a folder in my home directory. It works, but it's showing up with "root" permissions. How can I configure the partition to be used just for myself? Thanks in advance :)
[23:57] <Starwiz> Kk
[23:57] <simps> NodeRazor, i still do not see a mention of sound :x
[23:57] <Foxhound> is there a DivX for ubuntu ?
[23:57] <NodeRazor> simps, don't know then =D Try a forum, I guess

[23:58] <dejavou42> I need help setting up the vrdp on virtualbox between linux and windows xp using external authorization.
[23:58] <gaintsura> hey all, is there a gui configuration for AppArmor?
[23:58] <simps> NodeRazor, thanks :)
[23:58] <Starwiz> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1
[23:58] <Qster> anyone mind saying my name? :) just a test
[23:59] <gaintsura> Qster:
[23:59] <NodeRazor> simps, LOL np
[23:59] <dejavou42> Qster
[23:59] <Qster> thanks
[23:59] <Mac32geek> lolnp
[23:59] <Mac32geek> Qster
[23:59] <dejavou42> does anyone here know anything about VirtualBox?
[23:59] <Mac32geek> iu do'
[23:59] <Mac32geek> i do
[23:59] <Mac32geek> kinda
[23:59] <Mac32geek> it didnt work so i rm'd it


[13:17] <pmatulis> has anyone run the CC as KVM guest?  i would like to do this in a way that isolates it from any other cloud on the same network
[15:15] <AndyDoesClouds> hey, I'm copying and AMI from EU to US East. How do I select an aki? I have the list here... http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/maverick/server/daily.txt
[15:15] <AndyDoesClouds> and I know I need to ebs, i386 US-East-1
[15:16] <AndyDoesClouds> but that leaves lots of options..
[15:16] <AndyDoesClouds> would any of these work? do i need paravirtual?
[19:22] <kirkland> hallyn: hey
[19:22] <kirkland> hallyn: fyi, aliguori tells me that qemu 0.14 is due out for GA very shortly (within a couple of weeks)
[19:22] <kirkland> hallyn: depending on how quickly Avi releases qemu-kvm, we might be able to get qemu-kvm-0.14 into Natty
[19:22] <hallyn> kirkland: good timing, i was hoping to roll it into alpha3
[19:22] <hallyn> cool
[19:23] <kirkland> hallyn: "it" == qemu 0.14?
[19:23] <hallyn> yeah
[19:23] <kirkland> aliguori: do you have RC's out yet?
[19:23] <kirkland> hallyn: sweet
[19:23] <kirkland> hallyn: well, alpha3 probably won't work
[19:23] <hallyn> though we've done enough bughunting with 0.13.0, that i'm not sure we *should* risk 0.14.0 at the last minute :)
[19:23] <kirkland> hallyn: as we're in alpha3 freeze as of Tuesday
[19:23] <aliguori> Here's my proposal:
[19:23] <aliguori> Stable branch - 2/1
[19:23] <aliguori> 1 or 2 -rcs in between
[19:23] <aliguori> Stable release - 2/15
[19:23] <aliguori> Regards,
[19:23] <aliguori> Anthony Liguori
[19:23] <kirkland> hallyn: so to make alpha3, we'd need an upload by monday-ish
[19:24] <hallyn> kirkland: btw, i still have no idea what's going on with jdstrand's kvm corruption.  dunno if i'ts a kvm, ecryptfs, or hardware fault
[19:24] <kirkland> hallyn: well aliguori's schedule certainly meets our feature freeze
[19:24] <kirkland> hallyn: hmm, yeah, that one worries me
[19:24] <hallyn> aliguori: that was kindo  of formal :)
[19:24] <hallyn> well, we can give it a spin
[19:24] <hallyn> and if your machiens remain available, we can even test 32-bit this time
[19:25] <kirkland> hallyn: i can certainly keep them available
[19:26] <hallyn> awesome
[22:10] <kirkland> smoser: how much have you played around with spice?
[22:11] <smoser> that would be countable in minutes on one hand
[22:13] <kirkland> smoser: hmm, okay
[22:13] <kirkland> smoser: so qemu recently added a -vga qxl
[22:14] <kirkland> smoser: i don't think we have it in Ubuntu yet (but may be in qemu-kvm-0.14)
[22:14] <smoser> what is qxl?
[22:14] <smoser> is that spice ?
[22:14] <kirkland> smoser: anyway, i was curious what magic is required in the Ubuntu guest to run on a spice-capable hypervisor
[22:14] <kirkland> smoser: yeah
[22:14] <kirkland> smoser: I *think* xserver-xorg-video-qxl - X.Org X server -- QXL display driver
[22:15] <kirkland> smoser: i think that's what we need in the guest
[22:15] <smoser> that would make sense.
[22:16] <kirkland> smoser: i was kinda wondering if we might see if the desktop team wants to put that in main and on the CD, if so
[22:16] <kirkland> smoser: we should certainly put it in our cloud desktop images
[22:17] <kirkland> smoser: even if amazon isn't spice ready today, they could blog that they've turned it on at any random time :-)
[22:17] <smoser> well the ddesktiop images at this poith are still really only  main
[22:17] <smoser> so, get it in there.
[22:17] <smoser> amazon wont be spice ready.
[22:17] <smoser> xen i think is not going to happen
[22:17] <smoser> and even then
[22:17] <smoser> not something that make sense in the near term
[22:18] <smoser> as i understand it, spice is a much  more high bandwidth, low latency
[22:18] <smoser> noomachine / freenx / x2go is low bandwidth high latency
[22:18] <smoser> you wont have the former unless you were on amazon campus
[22:18] <smoser> i have to run
[22:18] <kirkland> smoser: k
[22:19] <smoser> i understand that spice is working on things to make it a better lwo bandwidth solution, though
[22:19] <smoser> i have looked at it for more than 5 minutes, but have never seen it functional.
[22:19] <smoser> ie, not much more than 5 minutes
[22:59] <kirkland> smoser: fwiw, i've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-qxl/+bug/709537
[22:59] <kirkland> smoser: i talked to bryceh about it, and he said it sounded reasonable
[23:00] <kirkland> smoser: even if we won't use it for the EC2 images, i think it's a wise thing to have
[23:00] <kirkland> smoser: as people in RH environments will want to use it


[20:09] <decimal1969> I'm trying to understand how to access the serial port on a VM from the host. I am running 22.04.01 and used "snap install multipass" and "multipass launch ubuntu" which created a 20.04.4 VM. It uses qemu-system-x86_64 ... -chardev null,id=char0 -serial chardev:char0 ... for the serial configuration. Do I need... 1. To have used --classic when I installed multipass? 2. To use QEMU path={some device on host like /dev/ttyFoo0} 3. T
[20:09] <decimal1969> o create /dev/ttyFoo0 on the host?
[20:32] <ChrisTownsend> Hi decimal1969! We don't allow connecting to the serial port currently.  Multipass is designed to not overwhelm users with all sorts of configuration options.  There are plenty of other virtual machine managers that allow for that:)
[20:35] <decimal1969> Okay - thanks for the answer.
[20:36] <ChrisTownsend> You're welcome decimal1969.
