[08:47] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: no, in one line they may use atheros, in another they could use broadcom
[08:47] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: i have a friend who has an older linksys adapter and he told me his worked when plugged in.
[08:47] <madLyfe> anyone know of any video tutorials on mounting windows shares?

[08:47] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: ah. ok, thanks. i'll look into it.
[08:47] <LiraNuna> Flannel, thank you
[08:47] <Flannel> madLyfe: Does it need to be a video?
[08:47] <Flannel> LiraNuna: no problem
[08:48] <leaf-sheep> madLyfe: I take it Windows Share works for you now?
[08:49] <leaf-sheep> Meh. Nevermind. You can access it just fine. :o
[08:49] <madLyfe> no
[08:50] <leaf-sheep> madLyfe: You're using smbfs?

[08:53] <erickcion> how i can install 2 webcams??? where i found information please!
[08:54] <Paraj> V4L sucks, this is the time to lose all hope :/
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> erickcion: you can use: lsusb to get the identifiers and websearch those
[08:58] <ikonia> Paraj: what's the problem
[08:58] <Paraj> Paraj: Many, except I'm trying a new solution which will take a while. When that doesn't work I'll give an update
[08:59] <Paraj> ikonia: Err, look above. No idea why I addressed myself :/
[08:59] <ikonia> Paraj: I don't understand what your saying is a problem, so I until you explain what you're complaining about I can't help
[09:00] <Paraj> ikonia: I had a series of problems, except I'm trying something to fix it but I can't try other things at the same time
[09:01] <ikonia> Paraj: ok - so stop complaining until you are able to explain your problem and we can take it forward
[09:01] <Paraj> When was I complaing?
[09:01] <ikonia> 08:54 < Paraj> V4L sucks, this is the time to lose all hope :/
[09:01] <Paraj> That was a response
[09:02] <Paraj> ikonia: First it was linux-restricted-modules not updating because of an error steming from LILO, so I tried to install grub instead except my boot partition was inside an LVM and the installer for some reason won't let me create multiple partitions on this physical volume so I created them using gparted and now I'm installing Ubuntu again this time without an LVM
[09:02] <leaf-sheep> That was a response in a form of complain.
[09:02] <Paraj> Hopefully that'll fix my problem of updates not working
[09:03] <Paraj> Well yeah, because V4L support for webcams sucks

[09:14] <Kartagis> when I try to add a printer, do I select pxlmono or gutenprint driver?
[09:15] <leaf-sheep> Steevo: Ubuntu Server generally don't run X or any GUI-affiliated softwares.
[09:15] <leaf-sheep> Steevo: In that case, find out how you can launch the missle using commands.  Then ssh in and bomb away the command.
[09:16] <Paraj> Steevo: Look for something called PyMissile, the home page for it doesn't seem to work but might be able to find something elsewhere
[09:17] <Steevo> Thanks! I will show them... muahaha!

[09:23] <Paraj> Bit OT though :/
[09:23] <KoolD> can someone please tell me of a irc client that has the dccserver command
[09:23] <mapper> Ben64: basically I have 2 slaves here, and one master, it turns out some zone file didn't get propagated to slave, but DNS still works for that zone. My guess is the lookup went straight to the master, but is there a quick way to verify this?

[09:26] <mapper> fvila: we have LBR in front of these 2 slaves.  How do I make my fan work peroperly with the cpu scaling? I'm on ubuntu 8.04.
[09:28] <cmanns> Get xchat n such :D
[09:29] <fvila> fvila: now I can't find a way to check.... and in the slave configuration files, the slave zone files are created?
[09:29] <fvila> mapper: now I can't find a way to check.... and in the slave configuration files, the slave zone files are created?
[09:30] <mapper> fvila: basically the slave configuration file is messed up, dev and test zones from master are all configured to point to dev zone on both slave servers.
[09:30] <mapper> fvila: but it works for more than a year.
[09:30] <kismet> hey has anyone a clue why my horizontal scroll with multitouch doesn't work?

[09:31] <mapper> fvila: So if I update conf file for dev, it would update that same dev zone file, same thing if updating test zone conf file on master node.
[09:32] <fvila> mapper: mmmm
[09:32] <madLyfe> what is the location of "desktop" in ubuntu?
[09:33] <fvila> mapper: I can't find a way another than recreating the slave configuration and configure master to point to the correct files....
[09:34] <fvila> mapper: if you want to check if the slave answers, you can try with tcpdump or another sniffer
[09:34] <fvila> mapper: you can filter to the dns port...
[09:34] <mapper> fvila: The master is having the right configuration, the problem is with the slave.
[09:35] <fvila> mapper: yes, I mean reconfigure slave, create new configuration for the zones pointing to the right files, and not the dev and test zones point to dev file
[09:35] <fvila> mapper: anyway, I don't have a deep knowledge on bind
[09:36] <mapper> fvila: ok, I was trying to avoid using tcpdump, to see if there would an easy way .. Thanks anyway ..
[09:36] <fvila> mapper: no problem, and sorry (and good luck!)
[09:37] <benchik> anyone with kernel 2.6.24-24 has skype? any problems?
[09:40] <b3rz3rk3r> madLyfe, /home/USERNAME/Desktop
[09:41] <Steevo> Ok I got a tough one peoples. Installing Ubuntu server 8.10 with 5 hard drives all partitioned equaly. 2 x 500 mb 1 x the rest and then thos partitions are split into 1 x RAID1 2 x RAID5. But I keep getting an error after creating the raid devices.
[09:41] <Steevo> The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/md0 (Invalid argument). This means Linux won’t know anything about the modifications you made until you reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/md0.
[09:42] <ShawnC> Hey, my fan on my comp (satellite a105) doesn't run properly, so my comp get's too hot and programs won't run and my mouse freezes etc. How do I make my fan work properly with the cpu scaling? I'm on ubuntu 8.04.
[09:42] <Steevo> Either ubuntu is broken, or there is a problem with the keyboard driver.

[09:46] <MrEgg964> I'm about to set up an Ubuntu Server for our small company (4 laptops). Is is recommended that I install openLDAP, or is there no real added value for such a small structure?
[09:46] <Paraj> madLyfe: Did smbfs work?
[09:48] <b3rz3rk3r> MrEgg964, i know very little about Ldap, but im pretty sure that you wont need it for such a small LAN
[09:48] <haggisbasheruk> well done madLyfe , whatever you got to work :)
[09:49] <s_> how to do list the running proccesses?
[09:49] <MrEgg964> b3rz3rk3r: thanks

[09:50] <nnull> i have to use ndiswrapper for my wireless card, do i use the .inf from the XP or vista?
[09:50] <nnull> vista right?
[09:50] <MrEgg964> b3rz3rk3r: I want eveyone to be able to connect to their own session, regardless of what machine they're on. I'm thinking of using FreeNX. Any other suggestion?
[09:50] <b3rz3rk3r> ShawnC, just reach into the case and crank the power on it
[09:52] <b3rz3rk3r> MrEgg964, i use FreeNX for that exactly that. Works like a charm for me, you can also use it to provide remote assitance using the "shadow" option too
[09:53] <madLyfe> Paraj: i used smbmount.... its got to be easier than that..
[09:53] <b3rz3rk3r> very handy :)
[09:53] <fishy6969> b3rz3rk3r, I've tried the alternatives (nomachine and vnc) and freenx beats them all. running pidgin using it now.
[09:53] <MrEgg964> b3rz3rk3r: shadow? I'm not familiar with that. What does it do specifically?
[09:53] <madLyfe> i mean you should beable to go to network, click work group see the computer then see all the shares under whatever box under that workgroup
[09:53] <b3rz3rk3r> fishy6969, yup, right on. i recommend it to everyone
[09:54] <madLyfe> crazy hard for anyone new to linux
[09:54] <b3rz3rk3r> MrEgg964, instead of creating a new session on that box, you can connect to an already open session and collaborate
[09:54] <vaxetihirr> !rules
[09:54] <Kartagis> when I try to print, I get NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME,  then unable to connect to CIFS host. any ideas?
[09:55] <fishy6969> b3rz3rk3r. Google have put together an nx alternative - neatx. Seems to have some good features but not as 'complete'. May be worth a look in 6 months?
[09:55] <MrEgg964> b3rz3rk3r: Excellent. I'll look into it.
[09:55] <muhammed> hi all

[09:56] <muhammed> guyz.....I've a problem with my synaptic
[09:56] <vaxetihirr> what problem?
[09:56] <b3rz3rk3r> fishy6969, im always up for anything from google.. still waiting for wave  tho  :(
[09:56] <vaxetihirr> are you referring to the synaptics package manager?
[09:56] <randy2009> Hello, lately 1 of our servers the power goes off. Everytime the private key for ssh is gone. is this a known bug?
[09:57] <Paraj> UPS :P
[09:57] <b3rz3rk3r> KoolD, irssi
[09:57] <muhammed> if i mark any thing to install ... it want  an ubunu 9.04 CD
[09:57] <indus> muhammed: what is the problem
[09:57] <randy2009> i know:)
[09:57] <fishy6969> b3rz3rk3r: trying to find an nxclient for my andoid phone........
[09:57] <muhammed> wants*
[09:57] <vaxetihirr> never heard of that one muhammad
[09:57] <vaxetihirr> must be lucky :-)
[09:57] <randy2009> but i find it weird, that i had to generate a new key 4 times last month, because everytime the key is gone
[09:57] <b3rz3rk3r> fishy6969, i was just going to pick one of those up in 2 weeks.. how dya like yours?
[09:57] <MrEgg964> b3rz3rk3r: How many different freenx user sessions would you say a quad core xeon server host at the same time w/o performance degradation?
[09:57] <indus> muhammed: go to repositories and uncheck install from cd rom
[09:58] <KoolD> b3rz3rk3r:isnt that a terminal app....does it support file transfers??
[09:58] <b3rz3rk3r> MrEgg964, that really depends on what your users are running, so its hard to say
[09:58] <muhammed> how could i do this
[09:58] <muhammed> ?
[09:58] <vaxetihirr> lol that was fairly obvious i suppose
[09:58] <indus> muhammed: in synaptic>settings>repositories
[09:59] <muhammed> ok ..brb
[09:59] <b3rz3rk3r> KoolD, yes it is, and yes it does.. but if you want something more graphical id look into pidgin or an extention for Firefox maybe?
[09:59] <MrEgg964> b3rz3rk3r: you're right, of course. Suppose openoffice related stuff, up to 10 MB per file.
[09:59] <b3rz3rk3r> KoolD, personally i love my xchat
[09:59] <Paraj> Except the windows versionm
[10:00] <muhammed> indus...thanx alot
[10:00] <fishy6969> b3rz3rk3r: HTC touch on vodafone UK. Works sweet!
[10:00] <muhammed> it works
[10:00] <indus> muhammed: i know
[10:00] <b3rz3rk3r> MrEgg964, if you are just running word processing and file hosting for a small LAN, id say dont even worry about it mate ;) That will be more than sufficient imo
[10:00] <indus> :)
[10:00] <KoolD> b3rz3rk3r: yeah ..i  like xchat too but this lags bugging me...guess i'll go for irssi
[10:01] <MrEgg964> b3rz3rk3r: thanks
[10:01] <b3rz3rk3r> fishy6969, im gonna be in the UK next week, whats the best carrier there atm?
[10:01] <benchik> hello.
[10:01] <vaxetihirr> carrier for what?
[10:01] <vaxetihirr> im from the uk
[10:01] <benchik> my 2.6.24-24-386 kernel is corrupted. it screwd up gstreamer and skype. how can i reinstall it from synaptic? what's the package name?
[10:01] <b3rz3rk3r> KoolD, is the lag being caused by Xchat? or you are laggin normally and it bugs u in Xchat?
[10:02] <b3rz3rk3r> vaxetihirr, want an android phone (prob G1)
[10:02] <vaxetihirr> T Mobile
[10:02] <Halabund> After a few minutes of playing an ogg stream in Rhythmbox (that comes pre-bookmarked with Ubuntu), playback always stops with the message "internal dataflow error".  Did anyone else experience this?  How can this be fixed?  I tried using Banshee instead of Rhythmbox, and the same thing happened...
[10:02] <vaxetihirr> without a doubt
[10:02] <KoolD> b3rz3rk3r: yeah i'm sure its caused by xchat. It normally runs fine.
[10:02] <vaxetihirr> got a good network coverage
[10:02] <Halabund> (The radio station I was trying to listen to is "NRK Alltid Klassisk")
[10:03] <b3rz3rk3r> vaxetihirr, so im gonna need to h4x it then? cos its 02 only over there right now isnt it?
[10:03] <majuk1> vaxetihirr: G1, onscreen keypads are for girls and Mac users.
[10:03] <majuk1> :D
[10:03] <vaxetihirr> b3rz3rk3r er, not that im aware
[10:04] <vaxetihirr> ive never seen it on O2 website
[10:04] <muhammed> indus
[10:04] <indus> yes
[10:04] <vaxetihirr> majuk1 whats wrong with touchscreen?
[10:04] <b3rz3rk3r> vaxetihirr, so u reckon T mobile? how are the rates?
[10:04] <b3rz3rk3r> compared to others?
[10:05] <majuk1> vaxetihirr: I just said, they're for girls and Mac users.
[10:05] <muhammed> I got this when I'm install virtualbox "VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed.

[10:07] <nmvictor> is it possible to install linux kernel 2.6.28 in intrepid ibex?
[10:07] <MrEgg964> muhammed: it looks like you need to install your linux-headers

[10:07] <Steevo> Is there a program that will let me administer most server functions, including the installation of packages simmilar to webmin?
[10:07] <Paraj> Halabund: I see a few threads on it on forums, have you searched around using Google?
[10:07] <indus> muhammed: sorry cant help with this
[10:07] <muhammed> how to install linux headers?
[10:07] <b3rz3rk3r> vaxetihirr, thats not too bad i guess.. think i saw them for about 20 or 30 quid most places... nice. thx
[10:07] <Halabund> Paraj: yes, but found no solution
[10:07] <rsk> muhammed: install the package with apt-get
[10:07] <nmvictor> rsk: whats the command?
[10:07] <indus> muhammed: have u instaleld the package build-essential
[10:07] <MrEgg964> in Terminal, type : uname -r
[10:07] <vaxetihirr> no probs b3
[10:07] <muhammed> ok thanx indus
[10:07] <rsk> nmvictor: there's to official command
[10:08] <majuk1> Guest60415: You need to A) chmod it so it's executable B) either add the directory it's in to the $PATH variable or move the file to one of the directories listed in $PATH
[10:08] <majuk1> If memory serves.
[10:08] <MrEgg964> muhammed: that command will return your kernel.
[10:08] <indus> muhammed: install 'build-essential' for compiling anything,this probably pulls the headers too
[10:08] <muhammed> yas
[10:08] <indus> but kernel headers are installed already i believe
[10:08] <muhammed> how to do that?
[10:08] <nmvictor> rsk: please give me the command, that'll make it alot easier.i dont want to update  my source.lst right now
[10:09] <indus> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:09] <MrEgg964> muhammed: in Terminal, type : uname -r
[10:09] <rsk> nmvictor: you can do it in many different ways, and all are quite compilcated. don't look for one command one fix solution
[10:09] <nmvictor> rsk: ok,give me one way
[10:09] <rsk> nmvictor: also updating sources.list isn't how you upgrade. you use sudo update-manger -d
[10:10] <rsk> nmvictor: download the kernel from kernel.org compile it and install it is one way
[10:10] <muhammed> mr Egg....i typed and i got this "2.6.27-7-generic
[10:10] <nmvictor> rsk: thats the hardest and most risky way i guess,any other?
[10:11] <nmvictor> rsk: i'd apreciate apt-get way, more details?
[10:11] <rsk> no idea about that
[10:11] <MrEgg964> muhammed: ok, so that's your kernel version. Now in Terminal, type : sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
[10:11] <indus> muhammed: trye the nick nameof person u addressing then press tab for auto completion
[10:12] <muhammed> ok guyz.....I'll try
[10:12] <nmvictor> how do i get the 2.6.28 kernel in synaptic?
[10:12] <rsk> nmvictor: upgrading is probably your easist option
[10:13] <nmvictor> i dont have the bandwidth,thats the problem.Theirs got to be a way,right?
[10:14] <rsk> nmvictor: you can order newest ubuntu cd from shipit for free
[10:14] <nmvictor> i have alternate install and desktop edition, can i get the kernel packages from it?
[10:15] <nmvictor> rsk: i have alternate install and desktop edition of 9.04, can i get the kernel packages from it?
[10:16] <rsk> dunno sounds possible

[10:23] <optimus> guys one question for debate: Is it better to prompt dependencies of application before installing or rather let the user install the application and then prompt him with proper message.
[10:23] <nikolam> Hello. How do you search for files on disk
[10:23] <MrEgg964> optimus: prompt before

[10:23] <nikolam> and gui?
[10:24] <benchik> is it safe to remove completely linux-image-2.6.24-24-386 in synaptic. or should i mark for only remove (not "mark for completely remove")
[10:24] <benchik> ?

[10:24] <QuantumKaos> nikolam: nautilus > tools > search
[10:25] <nikolam> there is no tools in Nautilus here on Hardy
[10:26] <MrEgg964> optimus: required deps are... required, so I find it better to know in advance what must be install ahead of time, before I install the actual application.
[10:26] <nikolam> i get no results and i know i should get
[10:26] <silare> Hi, everyone. Does anyone know a good note-taking app that's a GTK app? I know BasKet or so exists, but I'd very very much prefer GTK. Tomboy feels too much like a toy or like for more of a 'sticky notes' or 'todo list' versus something I could use for seriously taking notes in a classroom setting.
[10:26] <nikolam> searching disk is such broken in ubuntu
[10:27] <nikolam> and tracker is fool`s tool
[10:27] <MrEgg964> nikolam: did you try beagle?
[10:27] <Oddie> is there a command to list the wireless network device connected?... basically im setting up kismet and i need the card name and such...
[10:28] <yasser> hi
[10:28] <Oddie> hi
[10:28] <rsk> Oddie: click the network manager?
[10:28] <nikolam> MrEgg964, beagle was cpu time crazy. Stopped me in the middle of my work with its searching. No way to make it behave and index while idle..
[10:28] <majuk1> silare: PM me
[10:28] <nmvictor> is it possible to have mysql-server-4.0 with php5 and apache2?
[10:28] <niko> nikolam: locate is good
[10:28] <nikolam> niko, and GUI?
[10:29] <niko> no gui for locate
[10:29] <nikolam> so?
[10:29] <silare> majuk1: On IRC still or on Ubuntu forums?
[10:29] <Oddie> rsk: network manager shows the user friendly names?.... i need it for kismet... unless im looking wrong
[10:29] <nikolam> I want GUI that can search contents of files
[10:29] <rsk> oh.
[10:29] <optimus> MrEgg964: Accepted, you are absolutely right, but does it stops user experience, i mean user may feel like not trying further if u prompt him?? i am just suggesting..
[10:29] <Oddie> thanks though
[10:31] <cuda> Hi guys, every 120 seconds, ath5k_pci (my wlan module) is my top process for 10 seconds and lags all network connection. Any idea why this happens?
[10:31] <nikolam> Catfish simply not working with any search option
[10:32] <QuantumKaos> im using ddrescue in order to copy the files from a corrupted external hd onto one of my hds, command is "ddrescue -r 1 /dev/sde1 -o /dev/sda1/BackUp1 rescued.log" but this copies em directly on the disk, i want em to be copied in a specific folder, the starting position on the output file's command is "-o" but i dont really know where to put this "-o", and how to specifiy the folder, any idea?
[10:33] <MrEgg964> optimus: I see it the other way around. As a user you want to install your application, right. Psychologically, I find it better to first prepare (ie install the required deps), then install the proper application, then run it ; rather than installing the actual application only to find out that it doesn't work yet. What I mean is, logically, we want to be able to run the app right after we've installed it.
[10:34] <nmvictor> I get this error message when i try to log in through phpmyadmin :  #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured). Will someone please help?

[10:35] <Asphalt> any idea?

I'd like to setup an encrypted loopback device using 9.04, and losetup keeps failing (saying the requested key length is not supported by the kernel, though /proc/crypto claims it is). I have experience with encrypted losetup on other platforms. I've tried plain losetup as well as 'apt-get install loop-aes-utils'. From what I see here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto), it seems that Ubuntu recommends using

[10:51] <nmvictor> why isn mysql5.0 working in my system?

[10:55] <QuantumKaos> guys help, one of my hd's desappeared, itz unmountable, it was mounting it automatically, it was on the fstab, now it just desappeared, what happened?
[10:55] <azlon> i am following a tutorial online for creating a RAID. the tutorial is for a RAID-5 but i am making a RAID-1. in there it says to add "/dev/md0 /var/mdeia auto defaults 0 3" to my /etc/fstab file... what does the 3 at the end of the command mean? number of drives? should i change this to a 2?
[10:56] <silare> QuantumKaos: Look in GParted
[10:56] <silare> Oh, nevermind. He/She ditched. =/

[11:00] <silare> eltese: What distro, version, and architecture?
[11:00] <muhammed> eltese
[11:00] <QuantumKaos> anyone?
[11:00] <hassanakevazir> anyone has any idea what is hal-system-smbi process, google shows nothing, it takes all my CPU
[11:00] <eltese> ah sorry my bad. Im using Ubuntu 9.04
[11:01] <Gustava> hiya, I've got processes that are getting no CPU time. their 'waiting channel' says 'futex_wait', but I have heaps of CPU free. The processes are Matlab, which runs Java, but I'm pretty sure I started them withoug Java. Any suggestions?
[11:01] <silare> QuantumKaos: Go into your Partition Editor/GParted and see if your partition is still in there.
[11:01] <silare> eltese: Architecture?
[11:01] <Gustava> running 9.04 vanilla on Core2Quad
[11:01] <eltese> silare: hm? Gnome if thats what you mean :)
[11:02] <QuantumKaos> silare: it is, also in media, when i try to open it, it asks my for the root password cuz "internal policy prevents drives to be mounted" ????
[11:02] <silare> eltese: That's desktop environment. =P Architecture means 32-bit (x86 or i386) or 64-bit (x86_64 or amd64).
[11:02] <eltese> silare: ah ok =) 32-bit
[11:03] <silare> QuantumKaos: If it's in GParted, did it have any warnings or anything attached to it? If it has that triangle sign with the ! inside it, you might wanna' view its properties.
[11:03] <eltese> silare: and Ive used both the adobe packages in synaptic and the ones from adobe's homepage. With no difference
[11:03] <Gustava> I'm pretty sure this problem has appeared with the latest kernel (or maybe the prev one - there were two kernel updates in a few days, IIRC) - are there any known bugs with that?
[11:03] <silare> eltese: Erk. When did you download the new Adobe plugins? because the one I DL'd lately seems to have no bugs on it. I can watch things fine.
[11:04] <silare> *and by lately I mean two weeks ago.
[11:04] <wicker> when did you download the new Adobe plugins? because the one I Dl'd lately seems to have no bugs on it.
[11:06] <eltese> silare: hmms well I did download it yesterday. Maybe Ive done it wrong though
[11:07] <azlon> i created a RAID-1, how do i mount it now?
[11:07] <azlon> actually, in gparted it says it is already mounted, but i cant see it...
[11:08] <azlon> when i do df it doesnt display
[11:08] <azlon> i only see sdc1... i should see sda1 and sdb1 also, correct?
[11:09] <Steevo> I have 4 ethernet ports in my server. Only the one that is connected is showing.
[11:09] <Steevo> Do the ports need to be plugged in?
[11:09] <silare> eltese: Try reinstalling the one from Adobe - not the one in the *buntu repos or whatever, but the Adobe ones.
[11:10] <silare> eltese: And make sure if you DID install flashplugin-nonfree or whatever you remove them too.
[11:10] <azlon> !fstab
[11:11] <eltese> silare: ok.  Can I do that via the terminal? Cos I have no clue how to do it :s
[11:12] <silare> eltese: lol It's fine. Terminal? Umm. If you wanna' do it by command line, then do you know if you installed any packages via APT earlier for Flash? If you do and know the package names, aptitude remove should do it.
[11:13] <azlon> how can i view all of my driver?
[11:13] <azlon> drives?
[11:13] <rsk> azlon: lsmod
[11:14] <silare> aslon: Got GParted?
[11:14] <silare> *azlon
[11:15] <azlon> silare, yeah, gparted sees the drives, but i cant see them when im navigating through the cmd line
[11:15] <eltese> silare: Hmms I got it to work now. Removed flash player and installed swfdec instead. That seemed to do it
[11:15] <eltese> silare: thanks for your help
[11:15] <silare> eltese: xD You're welcome. Glad it worked somehow. o.O
[11:15] <silare> azlon: Navigating through the Command Line... See them as in the contents of them or what? You have to mount them before you can see them.
[11:16] <alejandro> Buenas a la gente del canal
[11:16] <azlon> sorry
[11:17] <azlon> had to get new batteries for my mouse
[11:17] <azlon> silare, gparted says they are mounted, but i cant find them
[11:17] <azlon> silare, they are 2 drives as a RAID-1... this is my first time playing with a RAID so i don't really know what i am doing
[11:18] <silare> azlon: Hmm. Does GParted specify a Mount POint?
[11:18] <azlon> no
[11:18] <azlon> brb, i need to restart

[11:23] <ikonia> SandCat: what is the application ?
[11:23] <silare> SandCat: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace willkill xserver-xorg....
[11:23] <silare> You'll lose anything that's GUI-based though and is unsaved.
[11:23] <ikonia> silare: not in jaunty it won't
[11:23] <rsk> silare: isn't that disabled in 9.04?
[11:23] <andyeb_> or do Ctrl+Alt+F1
[11:23] <SandCat> VisualBoyAdvance
[11:23] <ikonia> !dontzap
[11:23] <andyeb_> to switch to console
[11:23] <silare> By default. If you have don'tzap...
[11:23] <silare> Yeah. What ubottu said.
[11:24] <ikonia> silare: I assume you installed visual boy advanced using synaptic ?
[11:24] <azlon> silare, ok im back... mouse is working again
[11:24] <ikonia> silare: sorry not you
[11:24] <silare> ikonia: <_< I think you mean SandCat.
[11:24] <ikonia> I did
[11:24] <azlon> silare, so i created a RAID-1 and now i dont know how to mount it
[11:24] <azlon> silare, hold on... let me see if anything changed since i restarted
[11:25] <silare> azlon: Wilkommen. Can you give me a bit more detail on your RAID1 stuffs? (Alright. I'll wait.l)
[11:25] <Guest20025>  silare: i don't want to kill xserver
[11:25] <azlon> silare, i have 2 500GB HDDs formatted as NTFS running in RAID-1
[11:26] <azlon> i formated to ntfs because i need my other machines to access it easily
[11:26] <silare> Guest20025: You're going through the same problem as SandCat too? O.o
[11:26] <azlon> silare, GParted sees the two drives (sda and sdb) as mounted, but when i do df it doesnt display them
[11:27] <Guest20025> silare: i don't know what problem he have
[11:27] <silare> azlon: Gah... What df?
[11:27] <silare> Guest20025: Well, SandCat had a problem with VisualBoyAdvance (fullscreen app) crashing on him and he didn't wanna' do a hard shutdown on his computer, so I told him to kill X.
[11:28] <azlon> silare, i type "df" to display my drive information... i dunno
[11:28] <SandCat> well
[11:29] <SandCat> I think I pressed something I shouldn't have
[11:29] <Guest20025> silare: sorry, didn't notice, i thought u send message to me. Nvidia x server don't save me resolution so i have to do it with every startup.
[11:29] <silare> SandCat: Why?
[11:29] <SandCat> what is ctrl-alt-F1 SUPPOSED to do?
[11:29] <silare> Guest20025: Oh. >_o It's fine. Hmm...  When it goes into Command Line mode... I think Alt+F7 breaks you out.
[11:30] <Guest20025> silare: only resolution cose different way it is not workin
[11:30] <silare> *Ctrl+Alt+F7
[11:30] <SandCat> ok
[11:30] <azlon> AmbientShade, uhmm... i only sees my ext drive which is sdc
[11:31] <azlon> it*
[11:31] <AmbientShade> azlon: then it only probably sees fs formats that are ext
[11:31] <silare> Guest20025: ...When you edit your xconfig, it doesn't keep the changes?
[11:31] <azlon> AmbientShade, how can i see my NTFS drives?
[11:32] <SandCat> cool
[11:32] <SandCat> so I can use that terminal to kill the crashed program?
[11:32] <AmbientShade> azlon: ubuntu normally auto mounts drives that are just plugged in... can you unplug them and replug them?
[11:32] <azlon> AmbientShade, does it matter that they are in RAID?
[11:33] <AmbientShade> azlon: is it a hardware raid or a software raid?
[11:33] <azlon> software
[11:33] <AmbientShade> azlon: you should probably consult forums for the software raid and ubuntu... I'm not familiar with software raids at all
[11:33] <azlon> the tutorial i am following told me to put "/dev/md0 /var/media auto defaults 0 3" in my /etc/fstab file... but the tutorial is for RAID-5 with 3 drives and i am doing a RAID-1 with 2 drives
[11:34] <AmbientShade> azlon: I have a hardware raid working with ubuntu server and it automatically recognizes it
[11:34] <azlon> hrmm
[11:34] <azlon> ok
[11:34] <azlon> thx
[11:35] <Guest20025> silare: only until i turn off comp, then i need to set it again wtih start up

[11:36] <silare> lessshaste: I have an MPlayer plugin on my Firefox.
[11:36] <a514> I think Empathy did not list the channels? so i typed this one in

[11:38] <deedub1> ubuntu jaunty 64
[11:38] <Guest20025> silare: don't know what das it change into. Only thing what i am able to try with my comp skills is to press button save x configuration, what it send me  thaty is not able to do that.
[11:39] <deedub1> probable worked with ubuntu-restricted extras I guess
[11:39] <silare> lessshaste: Yes.
[11:39] <deedub1> but had this setup so long dunno what things Ive added by now :)
[11:39] <silare> SandCat: You're welcome. =3 If things like your GNOME Panel act up or anything either, killall gnome-panel is nice to have. ^_~
[11:39] <pro> does anyone know where i can find how i can strip an installed version of ubuntu down to the minimum, i need to make it as small as i can
[11:39] <lessshaste> ok.. so gstreamer on ubuntu is a total failure!
[11:40] <silare> lessshaste: To be fair, I'm actually on Mint, not Ubuntu. >_>;
[11:40] <Draglor> deedub1: Which plugins do you have in your firefox? (one of them should be handling mp4 video)
[11:40] <pro> i have done a dpkg -l and removed everythign i can, and removed all the docs and mans and so on
[11:40] <lessshaste> silare, :)
[11:40] <SandCat> hehe, I just tested it, the fullscreen actually has a different process name from the frontend, so my method didn't kill it, good thing I tested it before I let it crash on me again.
[11:41] <scyx> hi, probably a silly question but is there a way to start programs from terminal without locking it ?
[11:41] <Draglor> scyx: Command &
[11:41] <odder> pro: there is a non-official ubuntu-derivative projetc called U-lite, see http://u-lite.org/
[11:41] <silare> Guest20025: Ouch. D: Hmm. You saved it while you're Super User editing it and then it still changed back?
[11:41] <erUSUL> scyx: put a & at the en of the command line
[11:41] <scyx> oh, that's easier than i thought :p thanks
[11:41] <pro> odder, thanks
[11:41] <silare> Guest20025: Try and figure out what's changing it or so... Or if you have some process where NVIDIA tries to change something on bootup/shutdown, cut it.
[11:41] <deedub1> ok got vlc, mozplayer, shockwave 10, and divx player
[11:42] <Draglor> scyx: to get it back on konsole you have to enter "fg"
[11:42] <SandCat> I am having a lot more fun with the ubuntu terminal then I ever did with DOS X3
[11:42] <aaron11> SandCat: why is that
[11:42] <Rajah^> any user here with Intel GL40 chipsetIntel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M>
[11:42] <silare> SandCat: UNIX Terminal > Command Prompt xD (Although I'm aware too that Command Prompt is DOS: Crap Edition.)
[11:42] <Guest20025> silare: where i would find bootup/shutdown?
[11:43] <AmbientShade> shutdown -h 0
[11:43] <Rajah^> I want to know about jaunty's graphics performance on Intel GL40 chipsetIntel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M?
[11:43] <Rajah^> anybody?
[11:44] <SandCat> I probably because I know more now, actually, I liked using DOS commands over doing things through windows anyway.
[11:44] <Rajah^> Its a new compaq laptop that my friend has bought
[11:44] <SandCat> I like power XD
[11:44] <COm_BOY> [14:19] <COm_BOY> how to install a shared printer.. that is on another network in hardy heron
[11:44] <COm_BOY> [14:19] <COm_BOY> the ip is <IP_ADDRESS> and the share name is HP .. everyone having windows uses it but i cant
[11:45] <deedub1> Comboy -- what you using?
[11:47] <Rajah^> anybody who can report on intel graphics performance in jaunty?
[11:47] <forceflow> Rajah^: due to a bug in mesa, I have swap issues
[11:50] <ziggyfish> Rajah^, depends on the card
[11:50] <Rajah^> Intel GL40 chipsetIntel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M

[11:51] <VonGuard> even with upgrades turned on
[11:51] <VonGuard> unsupported i mean
[11:51] <iamleneko> is it normal that the ubuntu firefox version is radically slower than the windows xp one ?
[11:51] <iamleneko> or is it my computer that have some poor graphic driver issue ?
[11:52] <ziggyfish> iamleneko, nope
[11:52] <silare> Guest20025: Gah. Sorry I vanished. D: Umm... Startup Applications.
[11:52] <silare> Dunno' about shutdown though. ._.
[11:52] <iamleneko> ziggyfish, you have decent performance ?
[11:52] <ziggyfish> yes, always had better performance that windows
[11:53] <iamleneko> ???
[11:53] <PolitikerNEU> iamleneko: It is normal that JS-performance is a bit worse - but not dramatically
[11:53] <iamleneko> you made comparaison ?
[11:53] <deedub1> don't know kde too well here.
[11:53] <iamleneko> or it feel like it is ?
[11:53] <ziggyfish> feels like
[11:53] <Guest20025>  silare: and then what?
[11:53] <iamleneko> strange in opposite the chromium version is faster on linux than the chrome on windows
[11:53] <silare> Guest20025: Look and see if anything involving your xconfig or NVIDIA is around... If not, I dunno'... D: Hmm...
[11:54] <PolitikerNEU> iamleneko: I made the comparision between windows Vista, Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 9.04 some time ago. Windows was best, Fedora a tiny bit worse than windows and ubuntu another bit worse
[11:54] <iamleneko> so it is not a linux issue but an ubuntu one
[11:54] <PolitikerNEU> iamleneko: At least partially, but windows builds are generally better bec. of the better compiler
[11:55] <ubun00b> Hello all. I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with audio issues in Ubuntu 9, for a HP DV7 laptop.
[11:56] <Gnea> !sound | ubun00b
[11:56] <ziggyfish> PolitikerNEU, mm, http://www.tuxradar.com/content/benchmarked-firefox-javascript-linux-and-windows-and-its-not-pretty ?
[11:57] <SandCat> I have a new conclusion, visualboyadvance sucks, I'm not going to use something that crashes this often.
[11:58] <azlon> ok
[11:58] <azlon> so i made some headway with my raid, but i still have issues
[11:58] <ziggyfish> PolitikerNEU, also AFAIK the compiler is the same for both platforms (GNU gcc)
[11:59] <azlon> can i view the contents of a drive before it is mounted? like i have a RAID1 at /dev/md0 but i cant browse the contents
[11:59] <azlon> it says md0 is not a directory
[12:00] <ubun00b> Thx guys but I have been searching high and low for a solution to this audio, I installed the latest alsa drivers, libraries etc. If someone could look at this alsa information script - http://paste.ubuntu.com/256836/ - it might give you more an idea of the problem i have
[12:00] <PolitikerNEU> ziggyfish: So that is strange - maybe I had a different version of the graphics driver? I also have to admit that my "benchmark" was not really exact - just moved some JS-windows fast and looked the system monitor
[12:00] <iamleneko> i really think than linux is not so great in the graphical domain, refreshing, scrolling etc is so heavy on cpu in regard of the main commercials oses.
[12:01] <iamleneko> (but kickass at networking and computing on the other hand)
[12:01] <Irishmanluke> it depends really on your graphics card
[12:02] <PolitikerNEU> I had a nvidia graphics chip which is said to have good performance
[12:02] <iamleneko> maybe but for this last 10 years as a daily linux user i never had really great performance
[12:03] <majuk1> I have!
[12:03] <majuk1> :D
[12:03] <spanther> windows has backdoor :/
[12:04] <iamleneko> i think it is maybe there is a bunch of acceleration stuff put on the graphic chip dedicated to ms windows
[12:04] <iamleneko> ?
[12:04] <majuk1> iamleneko: They have proprietary code to interface with the technology on those cards that they've been developing and refining for years. That's the difference.
[12:04] <majuk1> And why we're catching up.
[12:05] <Irishmanluke> some cards have proprietary drivers for linux, don't some even have official gpld drivers for linux?
[12:06] <rsk> Irishmanluke: about every card has a driver free or non-free
[12:06] <majuk1> Irishmanluke: Yea, but it's not just the drivers, the whole DirectX code on top of that opens another world to them. X is comparitively young.
[12:07] <Irishmanluke> ah
[12:07] <majuk1> Especially in terms of professional manhours.
[12:08] <Irishmanluke> I've gotten good performance on OpenArena with my latitude d600
[12:09] <Irishmanluke> rsk: but I mean a driver that the manufactuer makes which is gpl
[12:09] <majuk1> Irishmanluke: Sure, that's 10 year old technology. And the Quake 3 source was released to the public. That's why it's so good.
[12:09] <mtlife> is this the right place to ask about upgrading 7.04 to 9.04?
[12:09] <rsk> mtlife: sure.
[12:09] <rsk> mtlife: what's the problem? sudo update-manager -d not working?
[12:10] <mtlife> rsk: well, the problem is. I fixed the pc running ubuntu recently, thats why the distribution is so old
[12:10] <rsk> mtlife: still not seing the problem :)
[12:11] <mtlife> rsk: with fixing it, i mean new motherboard and new graphic card. So now i can not boot into gnome or anything
[12:11] <rsk> mtlife: best option is fresh install of 9.04
[12:11] <mtlife> rsk: when i try to install nvidia legacy drivers, it tells me it cant find the package repository
[12:11] <rsk> mtlife: 7.04 is end of life.
[12:11] <extor> How can I trick ubuntu into install a PDF printer device that I can print web pages to so they end up as PDF docs?
[12:11] <deedub1> mtlife, isnt it time just to do a reinstall from scratch?
[12:12] <mtlife> rsk: yeah and thats where i get anxious, my ftp, apache, mysql, svn and user base are all running on that pc
[12:12] <dutchbuntu> extor: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636
[12:12] <mtlife> deedub1, thats what i wanted to do. but i have NO idea how to easily backup every config and every service running
[12:12] <deedub1> extor you can print -- file -- print --- print to file, select pdf in ubuntu jaunty
[12:12] <iamleneko> mtlife, test your migration on a spare computer
[12:12] <shashwatpns> !ubottu | shashwatpns
[12:13] <extor> deedub1, no actually that doesnt work. I need it to show up as a dummy printer device for when I am printing from java applets on the web
[12:13] <deedub1> I normally backup /etc and /home and it does the trick
[12:13] <iamleneko> upgrading server in exploitation could be very very problematic
[12:13] <Nitrodist> hi, how do I fix my 'broken' packages?  I removed a bunch of packages through synaptic package manager and 'purged' them as well, but now when I want to re-install any of those packages that I uninstalled I get a big 'broken' packages error.  http://gist.github.com/171872
[12:13] <deedub1> then I do /var if its a web server
[12:14] <iamleneko> mtlife, is it some personnal web server or some server in exploitation for customers
[12:14] <mtlife> deedub1: yes, /home is on a different partition for me so that wouldnt be a problem
[12:14] <mtlife> iamleneko: personal

[12:14] <Lockzi> Hi, there don't happen to be any MySQL wizards around here?
[12:14] <hassanakevazir> Hi, I need to downgrade hal, how do I go about that?
[12:14] <Lockzi> I need some help allowing remote access for root user.... Incredibly enough I reinstalled my MySQL server and now I can't get it working. I've logged on localy to the MySQL server and runned GRANT SELECT ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'password'  and flush privileges, but  it says 0 rows affected and also it has no affect when trying to logon remotely. Any ideas anyone?
[12:14] <Draglor> Nitrodist: try to install them using "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken $packages"
[12:14] <Lockzi> I've also commented out the bind = localhost in /etc/mysql/my.conf file.
[12:15] <dutchbuntu> Nitrodist, sudo apt-get install -f
[12:15] <mtlife> and the www-data is in /home too, so that wouldnt be a problem either. Only i am a programmer too and i am running a svn server so i do not want to screw that up
[12:15] <mtlife> mysql backup would be easy
[12:15] <iamleneko> Lockzi, did mysql server is bind to an accessible adress on your network ?
[12:15] <extor> apt-get install cups-pdf :)
[12:15] <deedub1> so how much data do you have to backup mtlife?
[12:16] <Nitrodist> dutchbuntu, Draglor: nope, neither works
[12:16] <Nitrodist> it says that nothing is broken
[12:16] <mtlife> mmm since /home is where i keep all the personal files (including www and svn) it should stay there and be safe. I think its about 1 gig left to backup then
[12:16] <Lockzi> iamleneko: I commented out the bind. I can connect locallly with root, but not remotely since it says<EMAIL_ADDRESS>access denied" something
[12:17] <dutchbuntu> Nitrodist, maybe sudo apt-get clean
[12:17] <mtlife> but i want to be sure that i do not loose my svn, mysql users etc
[12:17] <mtlife> and thats not only in the /etc folder
[12:17] <Nitrodist> dutchbuntu, nope
[12:17] <deedub1>  /etc folder is small
[12:17] <mtlife> i know
[12:17] <Draglor> Nitrodist: Try giving apt-get ALL packages which are complained
[12:17] <iamleneko> Lockzi, same issue with another user than root ?
[12:18] <deedub1> it sounds like you need to do a really good backup, use clonezilla or something
[12:18] <Draglor> not just kde-base
[12:18] <Lockzi> iamleneko: I haven't tried any other user since I have a dedicated MySQL server (the one I'm trying to get working again after reformatting). I wanna manage everything remotely
[12:18] <legend2440> Nitrodist: try   sudo aptitude install kdebase   sometimes aptitude offers solutions that  apt-get does not
[12:18] <mtlife> deedub1: any experience with mysql database backup?
[12:19] <user_> how to access the workgruop computer in windows network
[12:19] <mtlife> including users etc
[12:19] <deedub1> you can manually edit your sources list and maybe take it up to 8.04
[12:19] <Lockzi> I could try to create a new user to try
[12:19] <iamleneko> Lockzi,  i'll try to set another user with @% see it is the same problem
[12:19] <deedub1> a little with a wordpress install upstairs , but not much
[12:19] <xerox1> hi, i am using two displays and i would like to know $DISPLAY of each one; how to do that?
[12:19] <Lockzi> iamleneko: I'll try that, thanks for your help and I'll get back to you if no success :)
[12:20] <mtlife> deedub1, mmm manually edit sources. What are the risks involved in that?
[12:20] <deedub1> if you take a clone of the drive, little cause you can clone it back on again
[12:20] <extor> Damn this cups-pdf works in ubuntu but not on lenny. And it still doesnt fool java :(
[12:21] <deedub1> and with the value you are putting on this data, you'd be silly to upgrade one level of os , let alone 4 or 5 without it
[12:21] <user_> how to access the workgroup computer in windows network through ubuntu 9
[12:21] <vigo> Nitrodust: Have you tried the dpkg -help and such?
[12:21] <Draglor> user_: type "smb:/" in dolphin
[12:22] <Nitrodist> thanks legend2440, got it fixed (hopefully; it's still installing"
[12:22] <Nitrodist> *(
[12:22] <Lockzi> iamleneko: Should I create the new user with host as localhost, or %?
[12:22] <Nitrodist> *)
[12:22] <Draglor> or any other file manager (using kde, don't know if gnome supports the sam vfs types)
[12:22] <iamleneko> %
[12:22] <deedub1> so in your sources youd change all the feisty to hardy and its only going to upgrade two levels of OS, should work, but heck, aint done it so can't guarentee
[12:22] <Lockzi> Allright
[12:22] <mtlife> deedub1, i agree. I have no experience with clonezilla, is it possible to open the backup in some sort of file manager and get my config from there? (should save me time backing up /etc manually)
[12:22] <deedub1> yes you can. Its not easy.
[12:23] <mtlife> clonezilla not easy?
[12:23] <deedub1> What I have done in the past, is use clone zilla, then boot to a live CD and tar /etc /var and /home so I have multiple options
[12:23] <deedub1> then let rip the manually edited sources.list and see what happenes
[12:23] <deedub1> clonezilla is pretty straight forward
[12:23] <deedub1> follow the prompts
[12:23] <mtlife> :D
[12:26] <dehqan> good day everybody ; how can be a mp3 be played for anotherone in chat in pidgin app ?
[12:26] <deedub1> the "not easy" was unzipping the clone zilla backups. If I recall, the last time I wanted access, I used VirtualBox. Just uncloned to a hard drive in virtual box,. Workled a treat
[12:27] <mtlife> mmm sounds like a pain, better to backup /etc and /var just in case
[12:27] <Irishmanluke> Lockzi: my mysql says that global priveleges are granted by the statement grant all on *.*
[12:27] <mtlife> wouldnt it be better to do a fresh install instead of changing sources?
[12:28] <Lockzi> Irishmanluke: I seem to have fixed it by creating a new user. Really odd but thanks :)
[12:28] <deedub1> Fresh install means you can go straight to Jaunty
[12:28] <dehqan> in yahoo messenger with voice conference this work was possible ..
[12:28] <deedub1> Id like to know if you could do it manually editing sources.
[12:28] <dehqan> now in pidgin
[12:28] <dehqan> a mp3 that is playing in debian how can be played for friend in chat ?
[12:28] <deedub1> if you dont have strick download quotas, its less configuration
[12:29] <deedub1> Generally, installing fresh gives better results
[12:29] <Irishmanluke> Lockzi: ok congradulations
[12:31] <vigo> From what I have read and done, a System Upgrade is done in stages, 1,2,3, not 1,3 , that would be Fiesty,Gutsy,Hardy,Jaunty. I agree a fresh install is usually better than a mas package upgrade.
[12:31] <mtlife> deedub1, no download quotas here. Fresh should give better results and i understand that, makes a nice clean install.. will first try to do it via sources and if that fails do a fresh install
[12:31] <mtlife> but first backup
[12:32] <deedub1> But system upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04 will more than likely work as hardy is lts
[12:32] <vigo> !backup
[12:32] <orochi> it's fairly easy to get a 32gb usb key or the like, move your home directory onto it, install the new release and move everything back
[12:32] <orochi> or a 1tb usb hard drive if you have too much porn for a usb key :P
[12:32] <dehqan> any opinion ,thanks but it's urgent
[12:33] <deedub1> let us know if you can mtlife
[12:33] <Irishmanluke> rsync + cron ftw
[12:33] <mtlife> orochi: but its a server with svn, mysql etc ;) so not only the home dir to backup
[12:33] <mtlife> running mirc from windows now, so i can stay online if anything goes wrong :D
[12:34] <gdsgsdg> dehqan: i don't think that it is possible to play mp3's in pidgin - at least i've never heard of it
[12:34] <dehqan> gdsgsdg no this is not aim
[12:34] <dehqan> not to playing mp3 in pidgin
[12:35] <dehqan> play for another one in chat conference a mp3 that is playing with e.g mplayer ...

[12:36] <randy2009> Hello, can someone tell me what KbdInteractiveAuthentication is?
[12:36] <randy2009> (as in ssh)
[12:36] <orochi> As an aside...the user-agent info in ubuntu's package of firefox 3.5 refers to Shiretoko instead of Firefox, obviously...the problem is that it results in a lot of errors on different sites asking you to switch to Firefox when it's not recognized
[12:36] <dehqan> play for another one in chat conference a mp3 that is playing with e.g mplayer ... this was possible in windows ...by making internal voice ...

[12:44] <dulipak> Guest24525: try me..
[12:45] <jpds> dulipak: Too late, mate.
[12:45] <jiohdi> why does the system not turn off after shut down? I get to system halted and then it just sits there?
[12:45] <dulipak> lol
[12:45] <jiohdi> anyone else have this happen?
[12:45] <deedub1> jpds did you  ....... invite .... it to leave :)
[12:46] <deedub1> jiohdi : Ive had it happen before, but not for some time
[12:46] <jpds> deedub1: Not really, just being a little pushy. ;)
[12:46] <deedub1> next time can you arrange for a double back filp and half twist?
[12:46] <jiohdi> deedub, I have 3 machines, the laptop shuts down just fine, but the other two just sit
[12:48] <vigo> Guest24525: How do I fix that?
[12:48] <dutchbuntu> deedub1, i've had this happening on my desktop with 7.10 and 8.04. it disappeared in 8.10 and reappeared in 9.04...
[12:48] <jiohdi> why use gnome when xubuntu is so much better at memory management?
[12:48] <zetheroo1> I have an external USB HDD and a friend wants to borrow it to copy some stuff off of it ... I would like to make it so that he can only access the one folder and not the others .... is there a way to do that?
[12:49] <orochi> vigo: Do you have sshd running on your system
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  what fileysstem? ext2/3? if he knows linux he can get full access...
[12:49] <deedub1> jiohdi, eye candy is about it
[12:49] <deedub1> got enough memory, and grunt it makes no difference
[12:49] <jiohdi> deedub, is there anything you can't do besides eye candy with xfce?
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  unless you move all your secret stuff to some password protected encrypted file or similer.
[12:49] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: I am using ext4 ... he is running Windows XP and knows nothing of Linux
[12:49] <dutchbuntu> :s/deedub1/jiohdi/g
[12:49] <deedub1> prob not
[12:49] <Draglor> zetheroo1: Have a look at truecrypt
[12:49] <deedub1> guess its what your used to
[12:49] <vigo> orochi: I do not think so, I have to relearn this every day.
[12:50] <orochi> vigo: He's probably lying about having gotten your password then, but just in case, open a console and type passwd
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  I am unaware of any tools for windows to let it read ext4 at this time.
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> !ifs
[12:50] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: oh sorry ... the USB HDD is NTFS
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  theres no way to protect a ntfs filesystem like that - that i know of.
[12:50] <Draglor> zetheroo1: It's no problem, Linux hasr full r/w access to NTFS
[12:51] <zetheroo1> Draglor: I have heard of it ... but thought it was more for encrypting volumes ... can it lock a folder?
[12:51] <Draglor> just encrypt anything you don't want him to see
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> encrypt all the files.. :) fun.
[12:51] <Draglor> you can set up an encrypted file, yes
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> and hope they dont get messed up. :)
[12:51] <zetheroo1> argh
[12:51] <Draglor> Never had problems Dr_Willis
[12:51] <zetheroo1> I was hoping there was a way to restrict access to a folder
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> Draglor:  on NTFS?
[12:52] <Draglor> Not really, as he's root/admin on his box, zetheroo1
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> id hate to enctypte 100GB of files just to keeop them 'safe'
[12:52] <Draglor> Neither NTFS nor any other filesystem I use truecrypt on.
[12:53] <aaron11> does anyone know how to uninstall blender which has been downloaded from the blender website
[12:53] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: exactly
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  depends on how it installed... .deb .bin .sh .???
[12:54] <SoftwareKing> Hello
[12:54] <Draglor> I normally use encfs for on-the-fly encrypting anything on external storage ... but sometimes I use truecrypt as well as windows users can access the files as well (If they got the keys)
[12:54] <apparle> how to see which modules are loaded...........tell the command
[12:54] <aaron11> Dr_Willis: i installed it by the debi package instaler
[12:54] <noqerr> ???
[12:54] <Draglor> lsmod
[12:54] <Draglor> apparle
[12:55] <jiohdi> anyone know how to get an xls file to work on Xubuntu as a launcher?
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  then you shoudl be able to use the package manager tools to  remove it
[12:55] <deedub1> jiohdi what do you want to open the xls in?
[12:55] <aaron11> !who apparle
[12:55] <jiohdi> deedup, open office
[12:55] <aaron11> !who | apparle
[12:56] <aaron11> !tab
[12:56] <deedub1> ooffice openthisone.xls
[12:56] <deedub1> create a customer launcher with that as command
[12:56] <jiohdi> I will attempt
[12:56] <apparle> My friend  used this http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild (1st method) to build the kernel.....now has only CLI and no GUI ........how to fix it
[12:56] <ubun00b> how do i get my mouse wheel to scroll 1 line instead of the default. Cant see it when i goto mouse options
[12:56] <deedub1> you might need to give full path names
[12:57] <apparle> aaron11: I asked the question to everyone :)
[12:57] <Draglor> apparle: Reboot to the old working kernel.
[12:57] <deedub1> lsmod lists modules
[12:58] <apparle> Draglor: then
[12:59] <sipior> apparle: he probably just needs to rebuild the display driver to match the kernel he constructed.
[12:59] <deedub1> probably has proprietry drivers, so now he needs them reinstalled
[13:00] <apparle> sipior: how to do that......any tutorial of link
[13:00] <deedub1> could copt xorg.conf xorg,conf.old then delete xorg.conf and X will probably start on the open source drivers
[13:00] <deedub1> then go to hardware drivers and reinstall
[13:01] <m3m0r3xXx``> hey, how to make my soundcard go output 5.1
[13:01] <deedub1> copt = copy
[13:01] <deedub1> ick typing sux
[13:02] <m3m0r3xXx``> :)
[13:02] <deedub1> m3m google pulse audio 5.1
[13:02] <m3m0r3xXx``> thx
[13:02] <sipior> apparle: find the vendor for his video card. grab code and compile according to the instructions given.
[13:02] <deedub1> keep meaning to set it up, found some good stuff but haven't done it yet
[13:02] <Pici> deedub1: Please don't refer people to google here, *this* is the support channel.
[13:02] <deedub1> sorry buddy
[13:03] <apparle> of thanks guys..............I'll do it
[13:03] <ubun00b> Do the audio drivers in Vista use the same codec names that ubuntu does?
[13:03] <deedub1> gice a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach him to fish ,,,,.....
[13:03] <Draglor> ubun00b: What do you mean saying "codec names"?
[13:04] <NielsE> I'm subscribed to a lot of mailing lists in gmail, can I configure Evolution in such a way that I get only the messages in my Inbox?
[13:04] <Pici> deedub1: With that logic we could just have a bot here that says 'google it' and we could all go home :(
[13:04] <deedub1> not really
[13:04] <deedub1> still need to google the right thing
[13:04] <m3m0r3xXx``> I don't have .asoundrc in my home dir can I create it ?
[13:04] <deedub1> feel free to come up with the right answer though, I do mean to try it out on my system upstairs, on list of things to do
[13:04] <Draglor> Pici: But some questions are to general ... I have been about to write something similiar to deedub1, but he was faster
[13:05] <deedub1> m3m yep, you can
[13:05] <ubun00b> Draglor: Well I'm searching the git.alsa-project.org for alsa version, and to find the codec my audio card uses. But because alsa doesnt pickup my audio card i do not know the codec, so i was wondering if vista uses the same name reference.
[13:05] <majuk> Dangit, someone jinxed me, I rebooted now ALSA won't work.
[13:05] <kebomix> anyone give me the path where ubuntu download update packages on it
[13:05] <apparle> ubun00b: which soundcard do you have
[13:06] <ubun00b> apparle:  Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[13:06] <Jonta> Anyone who dualboots with MSW who can pastebin their /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[13:06] <legend2440> kebomix: /var/cache/apt/archives
[13:06] <apparle> ubun00b: and what codec does vista report
[13:06] <apparle> Jonta: what happened
[13:06] <majuk> omg and now it does. gg slow loading alsa modules
[13:06] <Jonta> Preferably one that's a bit older
[13:07] <Jonta> apparle: Bootorder.
[13:07] <Jonta> Basically it can't find the MSW-path
[13:07] <Jonta> "Selected disk does not exist"
[13:07] <ubun00b> apparle: I havent checked that out yet, i wanted make sure that it does before rebooting (alsa info for my card - http://paste.ubuntu.com/256869/ )
[13:07] <Jonta> Though, this one would be more personalized to my computer, wouldn't it?
[13:07] <kebomix> legend2440: there is no packages on it !
[13:08] <jjmontes> hi guys... I have a question on packaging and I am confussed about the way metapackages work...
[13:09] <jjmontes> is this a proper place to ask?
[13:09] <apparle> ubun00b: check in syslog for something like codec read timeout etc.....I used to get that until I told the driver to load ac97codec specifically
[13:09] <tux_> is there a way to save a favourite radio station in VLC ?
[13:10] <legend2440> kebomix: do you have option selected  in synaptic that says     Delete Packages after install?
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> tux_:  i think you can save the url to a file (or .pls) file, and tell vlc to load it.
[13:10] <tux_> Dr_Willis, kinda lame huh?
[13:10] <apparle> Jonta: pastebin you current menu.lst
[13:10] <Jonta> apparle: OK. Hang on
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> tux_:   I have better 'radio' player programs then vlc. so i dont really care :)
[13:11] <tux_> Dr_Willis, don't stop caring, someone has to think of the children..!
[13:11] <jjmontes> I created a package that installs a few other packages (it depends on them)... now, if I manually uninstall any of them, my package gets uninstalled... however, all other packages are suggested for autoremoval now, while I need them to stay installed (like if they were manually marked for installation)
[13:11] <ubun00b> apparle: Thanks for your help dude... Its weird because it see's the sound card but alsa just doesnt recognise it. Where would i find the syslog in ubuntu (this is my very first ubuntu install, still finding my way around the palce)
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> tux_:  it takes a village!
[13:12] <apparle> Guys plz tell how to open syslog in ubuntu to ubun00b .....I use kubuntu so I don't know in gnome

[13:33] <Cristi1> i dont like that one

[13:33] <Cristi1> i love compiz and the cube
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> turin13:   . CAN mean  a pattern.. or its also a character.
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> turin13:  you can escape it wht  a backslash.. or  other methods.
[13:34] <turin13> In Gnome Commander its a pattern. And i used it
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> then read the gnome-commandder docs and perhaps see how they escape it.
[13:34] <turin13> Dr_Willis: backslash? Ill try
[13:35] <apparle> Jonta: put this in menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu.com/256885/ and then try booting it

[13:39] <Dr_Willis> Cristi1:  if you dont know.. then stop doing it.

[13:39] <Cristi1> ohh sorry
[13:40] <ribot> hi
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: its a lame use of the /me irc command, it actually does nothing but display text
[13:40] <Cristi1> ok
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> abbronzato:  the 'guest' session is a special session. You could in theory make a 'guest-type' user that you can use from the login screen.

[13:42] <maginot> what is Für  ?
[13:42] <Cristi1> do you have a good connection?
[13:42] <abbronzato> cannot delete, ok, but can read all!
[13:42] <abbronzato> the "guest sessione, works well)
[13:42] <dos|equis> guys
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> abbronzato:  if the permissions on the other directories were set mor esecurely - they wouldent be able to. they can 'see' the data.. but not change it. so its not really a security issue
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> ribot: what is the link your terminal displays?
[13:42] <dos|equis> need help
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> !ask | dos|equis
[13:43] <abbronzato> yes , yes, any idea for have that user volatile?
[13:43] <dos|equis> why is my directory, "/usr/lib" have so many files?
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> abbronzato:  nope. Not really somnthing i need.
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> dos|equis:  because thats were all the system libraries are stored?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: its the location of all the libs that all your apps use
[13:43] <abbronzato> is for left the pc alone, with some "from zero" user
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> dos|equis:  any reason it shouldent have a lot of files?  does it matter?
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: they can be used by more than one app which uses ram and hdd space better
[13:44] <dos|equis> Can I eliminate some useless files in my /usr/lib directory?
[13:44] <coens> turin 13 please
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> dos|equis:  why are you worried about it?
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: uninstall unnecessary programs, if there are libs that no other app uses, it will be removed
[13:44] <coens> ("Leaving)"
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> dos|equis:  if you dont know what they are/doing - good idea to leave it alone.
[13:44] <ribot> ActionParsnip: it greps adobe flash player plugin version 10
[13:44] <dos|equis> ok...
[13:45] <ribot> and installer

[13:46] <abbronzato> Dr_Willis, thanks, last question, without a user pwd, and any autologin option, is it "secure" (is not a bank, for the average user) use the guest session? or is there some workaround to bypass it?
[13:46] <Pici> zarshark: Please don't advertise here.
[13:46] <dos|equis> Thanks, guys.

[13:47] <coens> how are you Pici
[13:47] <LordMetroid> Do one use any iso for the usb-creator?
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> abbronzato:  users  by default are locked down enough where they cant hurt the system - thats sort of fundamental. Theres ways to lock them down further if you wanted.
[13:47] <Pici> coens: I'm fine.

[13:49] <ribot> ActionParsnip: ok it's working now, thanks
[13:50] <abbronzato> yes i know it, unlucky my english is not so good for explain better i retry: if i left the pc with a "guest session" to a user that does not know any users password, and the autologin deactivated, can be considered "secure" ? (eg:for left the guest session, and enter in a normal user one is always requested a user pwd?)

[13:52] <Dr_Willis> dos|equis:  my Ubuntu box runs 2x as fast as my windows... so.. to each their own i guess
[13:53] <dos|equis> I know, Linux runs faster than M$
[13:53] <jake> my Ubuntu box did a full reboot before my wife's vista could go from the logon screen to windows
[13:53] <dos|equis> but, could someone help how to speed up my system?
[13:53] <Cristi1> jake: cool
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> dos|equis:  #1 - how are you even going to 'test' the speeds?
[13:53] <jake> dos what do you need help with?
[13:54] <dos|equis> I want my ubuntu box to run faster
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> ribot: cool
[13:54] <dos|equis> Even than rendering of graphics is a little slow
[13:55] <JarlG> If I am running ubuntu, and I install xfce, and delete GNOME, will that be equal to a switch between Ubuntu to Xubuntu?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> overclock and liquid oxygen cooling.. :)
[13:55] <jake> is it 3d that's going slow for you?
[13:55] <dos|equis> nope
[13:55] <jake> or 2d graphics
[13:55] <Guest20025> how can i make video workin in internet. I mean for any site and program. is there any program what would my video workin no matter what kind is on site?

[13:55] <dos|equis> I'm only using eclipse and some other non-heavyweight graphics app I'm using.

[13:56] <misse-> JarlG: kindof.  I'm not sure how to completeley remove the gnome part though
[13:56] <jake> dos: ati or nvidia?
[13:56] <dos|equis> nvidia
[13:56] <JarlG> Okay, thanks!
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: have you installed video drivers?
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Guest20025:  theres no  guarentee of 'for any site and program'    you could just try the various converter tools and download/convert the vidoes to somthing you know you can watch.
[13:56] <dos|equis> I don't know if the legacy code for nvidia is installed
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[13:56] <dos|equis> can you help me how to check if its install
[13:56] <dos|equis> ok2x
[13:56] <dos|equis> I'll try
[13:57] <Cristi1> ok
[13:57] <Cristi1> im going to install ubuntu
[13:57] <Cristi1> wish me goog luck
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> 'do or do not, there is no try' :)
[13:57] <dos|equis> I'm having a problem
[13:57] <dos|equis> It displayed an error
[13:57] <qnix> does anyone have a package of kernel 2.6.18 for hardy?
[13:57] <Cristi1> can i emulate games with cedega from my hard drive?
[13:58] <dos|equis> E: Couldn't find the package nvidia-glx-180 <---- It produce an error like this one.
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: if they are very portable then yes, they will most likely need installing under cedega
[13:58] <farciarz84> wodim: No such file or directory.
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Cristi1:  with wine/cedega its best to reinstall the app using wine/cedega
[13:58] <farciarz84> Cannot open SCSI driver!
[13:58] <Cristi1> ok
[13:58] <Cristi1> thaks
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: what is the ouput of: lsb_release -c
[13:58] <farciarz84> how to mount my cdrom, sdc0 and cdrom doesn't exist in my /dev/
[13:59] <Cristi1> witch are the chances that a game that works in win to work in ubuntu through wine?
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> farciarz84:  my cd is /dev/sr0
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: some games may, if you contact the support number you have then they will be able to give the support you have paid for
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | Cristi1
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: some do, some don't
[13:59] <dos|equis> hardy
[13:59] <farciarz84> Dr_Willis: how to find which is mine?
[13:59] <dos|equis> I'm using hardy heron
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> Cristi1:  varies from Next to never.. to always.. :)
[13:59] <_daniel_> ActionParsnip: probably not working. as i can perform --hidd search, but its only the touchpad of the keyboard, which connects..
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: some even have linux installers to run natively (like doom3)
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> farciarz84:  see if /dev/sr0 exists?
[13:59] <dos|equis> It's been awhile since I have a internet connection
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[14:00] <farciarz84> Dr_Willis: no
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: hardy is slightly different but achieves the same end
[14:00] <caesar_> What about Parallels for gaming??
[14:00] <orochi> caesar_: Not available for Linux
[14:00] <dos|equis> I guess I already have the package installed
[14:00] <Cristi1> almost all my fav games work
[14:01] <Cristi1> thanks for help
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> caesar_:  try wine first.. its free
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: then restart your x server
[14:01] <caesar_> shame, I have run the non gaming version on linux though
[14:01] <farciarz84> Dr_Willis: any method I can find that info?
[14:01] <Cristi1> thre is a gaming version of ubuntu?
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> farciarz84:  check 'dmesg' output carefully i guess
[14:01] <orochi> caesar_: Virtualbox 3.0 supports Direct3D 9 with its included drivers
[14:01] <dos|equis> How should I restart my X server?
[14:01] <orochi> if your pc is fast enough you can play games that way
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: ctrl+alt+backspace
[14:02]  * Dr_Willis guesses dos|equis figured it out
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: if you install gaming apps like wine etc it will be a gaming ubuntu. te only difference between the *unntus is the default app list
[14:02] <caesar_> seems to me running win games in a VM defeats the purpose of running a fast linux, better to dual boot instead
[14:03] <farciarz84> Dr_Willis: ata1.00: ACPI cmd c6/00:10:00:00:00:a0 succeeded
[14:03] <orochi> caesar_: Well yes, it is
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> plus vms runnikng games run pretty badly
[14:03] <orochi> caesar_: Wine fixes and breaks games on a regular basis, you never know if what you're running is going to work on the next update or not and most things don't run well in it anyway
[14:03] <caesar_> OH well there is always tic-tac-toe in linux :))
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> caesar_: tuxkart :)
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> caesar_: urban terror and penumbra run very well and are native
[14:04] <dos|equis> wew
[14:04] <Cristi1> when i try to install ubuntu inside windows it sayz please use all lower case in the user name
[14:04] <caesar_> orochi: yes your right wine is okay for only a few win apps i find.
[14:05] <IdleOne> Cristi1: yes it does
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: just makeslife easier
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Cristi1: linux is hugely case sensitive
[14:05] <Cristi1> but i used them all
[14:05] <Cristi1> and i cant install it
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: better?
[14:05] <dos|equis> yeah
[14:05] <dos|equis> thanks alot ActionParsnip
[14:05] <caesar_> I have run UT in linux and it runs mostly fine, but never played penumbra
[14:05] <farciarz84> cdrom problem help!
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: to change the display use: gksudo nvidia-settings
[14:06] <IdleOne> Cristi1: what do you mean you used them all?
[14:06] <dos|equis> can you explain it to me
[14:06] <Cristi1> i completed all the cases
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> caesar_: it uses ragdoll physics and you actively interact with everything
[14:06] <Cristi1> and it sayz please use all lower cases
[14:06] <dos|equis> or can you share me some resources to read on.
[14:06] <misse-> ActionParsnip: nvidia-settings can be run without sudo.
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: in a terminal type: gksudo nvidia--settings
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> misse-: not if you want to write the settings to xorg.conf
[14:07] <Cristi1> yes
[14:07] <Cristi1> i made it
[14:07] <Cristi1> it most not contain numbers
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: setup the display you desire, then click on "save to xorg.conf" your settings will now stick
[14:08] <misse-> ActionParsnip: Oh. Didn't see that that was his problem
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> misse-: its not but s/he has just got nvidia gfx drivers in so stuff needs setting up (or not)
[14:08] <dos|equis> I've already type: gksudo nvidia--settings, but nothing happens. No window or something pop-up in the screen.
[14:09] <misse-> dos|equis: gksudo nvidia-settings
[14:09] <misse-> dos|equis: you have two dashes in your line
[14:09] <prakash_> do we have google voice chat in ubuntu? i am new to ubuntu....plz help...
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> dos|equis: you can use tab to complete commands

[14:10] <ubuntistas> how can i enable google chrome flash plugin any idea?
[14:10] <prakash_> but i cant make a voice chat...could you help me to configure pidgin.
[14:10] <dos|equis> still, nothing happened.

[14:11] <jonny_b>  flashplayer 10.0 r32 crashes firefox 3.0
[14:11] <legend2440> dos|equis: the command is   gksudo nvidia-settings
[14:12] <dos|equis> Yes, I already type that.
[14:12] <dos|equis> But nothing happens
[14:12] <ubuntistas> rar for linux?

[14:14] <MK13> ActionParsnip, thnx
[14:15] <ubuntistas> how can i enable google chrome flash plugin any idea?
[14:15] <llutz> MK13: dig -x <ip>
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: make a symlink to libflashplugin.so in the chrome plugin folder
[14:16] <MK13> llutz, thanx
[14:16] <arand> ubuntistas: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ and then start "chromium-browser --enable-plugins"
[14:16] <pachi> ok thany you my friens ¡¡ good bye ¡¡
[14:16] <brotkasten> hey, can anyone point me to some docu how to set pam max password retries before reporting an error?
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/libflashplayer.so; file /opt/google/chrome/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: if it says, symbolic link to libflasplugin.so or something thats not an error, you win
[14:19] <ubuntistas> actionparsnip yes it says that but in the end say that existas
[14:20] <punk_rocker_gul> hello.. i downloaded knet attach from internet...and its not there in the list of installed applications.. anyway of removing it?
[14:20] <sipior> brotkasten: have a look at /etc/pam.d/common-auth and friends
[14:20] <ubuntistas> but i cannot play video again actionparsnip
[14:21] <arand> ubuntistas: chromium-browser --enable-plugins, like I said.
[14:21] <ubuntistas> how arand?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: you need the .so file to appear in the plugins folder. Is there a ~/.chrome folder?
[14:21] <Nitrodist> punk_rocker_gul, sudo apt-get remove knet-attach
[14:22] <arand> ubuntistas: from terminal.
[14:22] <Nitrodist> or whatever the package is named
[14:22] <brotkasten> sipior: thank you, i did ... but there's nothing in pam_unix.so or anything else i looked at
[14:22] <fat_rat> after latest kernel update in hardy, my portable speakers aren't working... :((( i'm running ubu on eee
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: press alt+f2. type "chromium-browser --enable-plugins" without the quotes, press enter
[14:22] <arand> ActionParsnip: I don't think chromium does per-user plugins yet.
[14:22] <Nitrodist> or alternatively, go into 'synaptic package manager' and search for the package in there
[14:22] <Nitrodist> and mark it for removal
[14:22] <ubuntistas> ok thx arand
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> arand: worth a look though ;)
[14:22] <John> hi ,everyone
[14:23] <brotkasten> sipior: maybe you know a different pam module that will handle that ... i already managed to introduce pam_tally and other things ...
[14:23] <brotkasten> sipior: but the login retries ... i just cant find anything on it
[14:23] <punk_rocker_gul> Nitrodist, where do i giv this command? sorry i m lame in ubuntu
[14:23] <Nitrodist> punk_rocker_gul, in a terminal
[14:23] <Guest95774> ubuntu server is well
[14:24] <Nitrodist> applications -> accessories -> terminal
[14:24] <Nitrodist> this is assuming that you know the package name though
[14:24] <punk_rocker_gul> i know
[14:24] <fat_rat> i need help... after latest kernel update in hardy, my portable speakers aren't working... :((( btw i'm running ubu on eee
[14:24] <punk_rocker_gul> Nitrodist, thanks..
[14:24] <punk_rocker_gul> i hav one more doubt
[14:24] <punk_rocker_gul> my ubuntu is named Karthiya how do i change the name..
[14:25] <sipior> brotkasten: try pam_tally
[14:25] <Boohbah> punk_rocker_gul: sudo hostname
[14:25] <Boohbah> punk_rocker_gul: sudo echo newhostname > /etc/hostname
[14:26] <Nitrodist> punk_rocker_gul, are you talking about your user name?
[14:26] <Nitrodist> like... when you log in?
[14:26] <dustin> excellent, support chanel
[14:26] <Boohbah> !hi | dustin
[14:26] <brotkasten> sipior: as far as i know pam_tally just counts the failed logins and introduces account lockouts ... but not the login retries befor you get an error message like "access denied"
[14:26] <ubuntistas> arand video is playing but when i close the browser and reopen it doesn't play
[14:26] <dustin> thanks
[14:27] <punk_rocker_gul> yeah .. the username of my laptop for ubuntu
[14:27] <Nitrodist> or in the terminal, Karthinya@some-host-here:~$
[14:27] <sipior> brotkasten: why is an account lockout not sufficient?
[14:27] <arand> ubuntistas: yea, because you'll have to run with the --enable-plugins option every time.
[14:27] <dustin> seems better than the other ircs I've tried lately :) everyone gets aggravated when I ask a question
[14:27] <ubuntistas> aha ok
[14:27] <Nitrodist> Boohbah, got any insight on this?
[14:27] <frede> in appereance -> visual effects, whats the difference between none and normal?
[14:27] <Nitrodist> change the home directory?
[14:28] <sipior> brotkasten: actually, have you verified that the "deny" keyword to pam_tally.so is not what you want?
[14:28] <Nitrodist> I'm going to suggest creating a new user
[14:28] <punk_rocker_gul> Nitrodist, i want to change it to my nickname
[14:28] <brotkasten> sipior: sipior wait a tic... checking
[14:28] <dustin> alright, I wiped windows, installed fedora and opensuse, and grub isn't showing it on the bootlist. I'm not altogether comfortable working from a terminal, so I was wondering about swapping to lilo
[14:28] <Nitrodist> just to log in punk_rocker_gul ?
[14:28] <mc-kay> need ty
[14:28] <punk_rocker_gul> no.. i m talking about ubuntu.. username..
[14:29] <mc-kay> i need to fix that
[14:29] <dustin> would swapping to lilo be... simple?
[14:29] <Topy44> hi everyone, linux-noob here with some trouble getting the network to work the way i want it
[14:29] <brotkasten> sipior: no ... deny is the number of login attempts before the user is locked out
[14:29] <sipior> brotkasten: that isn't what you want?
[14:30] <Topy44> system: easypeasy (essentially on ubuntu intrepid)
[14:30] <punk_rocker_gul> no.. not for loggin in punkrockergul
[14:30] <Topy44> *based on
[14:30] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to setup gnome-ppp?
[14:30] <punk_rocker_gul> my ubuntu username is karthiya i want it as punkrockergul
[14:30] <dustin> can anyone tell me if swapping to lilo would be particularly difficult?
[14:30] <nematau> im using internet with 'wvdial' command and i cant find to see my traffic statistics [downloaded/uploaded atm] where i can find it?
[14:30] <rsk> !lilo
[14:30] <Topy44> anyway: i have internet access through pppoe, a local LAN and a public WLAN, all at the same time
[14:30] <rsk> not much info there heh'
[14:30] <brotkasten> sipior: no. if you login to the system and you type your password 3 times ... it says "login failed" but you may try again by typing your username again and restarting the whole auth process
[14:30] <Nitrodist> punk_rocker_gul, log in where? on the ubuntu forums?
[14:30] <sipior> dustin: better to get grub working. lilo can be annoying at times.
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> dustin: not hard at all
[14:31] <dustin> what do you mean by annoying at times?
[14:31] <brotkasten> sipior: i want to restart the whole auth process after say the 2nd invalid password input
[14:31] <Topy44> but neither network-manager nor wicd allow me to be on all 3 at once - wicd allows just one connection at the time, and network manager allows wifi and pppoe or lan, but not all 3
[14:31] <raubvogel> punk_rocker_gul: If in your machine, edit the passwd file and then
[14:31] <punk_rocker_gul> Nitrodist, when the laptop starts.. it asks for username and password i want to change tht username to punkrockergul
[14:31] <Nitrodist> that's what I thought
[14:31] <raubvogel> Can I run aptitude and select which files I want to update? Or am I better to just run a script?
[14:31] <Topy44> i have tried a ton of stuff but nothing worked. i had xandros installed before, there it worked
[14:32] <dustin> if I swap to lilo, how would it affect me? I'm running 8.04 btw
[14:32] <Topy44> (afaik xandros uses its own proprietary network manager)
[14:32] <Nitrodist> the long and short of it is... create a new user, punk_rocker_gul, because migrating everything and the setting the correct permissions for all of your stuff is a headache
[14:32] <nematau> im using internet with 'wvdial' command to connect, and i cant find to wh see my traffic statistics [downloaded/uploaded atm] where i can find it?
[14:32] <dustin> anyone?
[14:32] <Nitrodist> and all of that has to be done from the recovery console
[14:32] <Nitrodist> so it would be a lot of command line stuff
[14:33] <Nitrodist> and THEN... some programs may not work correctly
[14:33] <dustin> How would swapping to lilo affect me?!?!
[14:33] <dustin> I'm not the type to follow blindly
[14:33] <Nitrodist> it's a crap shoot at best
[14:33] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:33] <Nitrodist> dustin, what's lilo
[14:33] <grawity> Nitrodist: adduser, tar xvzf, chown
[14:33] <dustin> bootloader
[14:33] <Boohbah> punk_rocker_gul: sudo sed 's/Karthiya/punk_rocker_gul/g' </etc/group && sudo sed 's/Karthiya/punk_rocker_gul/g' </etc/passwd && sudo mv /home/Karthiya /home/punk_rocker_gul
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> !lilo | Nitrodist
[14:33] <raubvogel> Nitrodist: I would be more concerned about sudo; she'd have to make sure new user is in the admin group
[14:33] <grawity> Nitrodist: lilo is a Linux bootloader. Used to be popular, now everyone uses grub.
[14:33] <llutz> dustin: you will get a complete different bootmanager, why do you want lilo?
[14:34] <sipior> brotkasten: well, if you can't find it, time to write your own module. is it really worth the trouble?
[14:34] <raubvogel> dustin:  boot off a cd single user mode, chroot, and have fun
[14:34] <dustin> what now?
[14:35] <Topy44> dustin: you should answer the question: why do you want lilo in the first place?
[14:35] <ramio> slt
[14:35] <Nitrodist> what's wrong with grub?
[14:35] <dustin> alright, I'm hoping it will detect opensuse and fedora and allow me to boot into those Oses
[14:35] <brotkasten> sipior: my boss thinks so :D
[14:35] <llutz> dustin: configuring lilo is even more tricky than grubs config. imho one needs a good reason to use lilo today
[14:35] <dustin> grub will not, grub won't even drop windows xp which I wiped
[14:36] <llutz> dustin: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, add those entries, be happy
[14:36] <Topy44> the only reason to use lilo is if you insist on silly hires bootmenus :)
[14:36] <Nitrodist> use a grub editor ;P
[14:36] <raubvogel> dustin: did you edit the grub config file to fit your needs?
[14:36] <Nitrodist> entries don't magically disappear from lists
[14:36] <dustin> yes, HOW do I edit /boot/grub/menu.lst?!
[14:36] <llutz> Topy44: /boot on xfs?
[14:36] <Nitrodist> dustin, install 'kgrub'
[14:36] <unop> Boohbah, sed does not do an inplace edit by default - so that command is unlikely to have caused any changes to /etc/{passwd,group}
[14:36] <llutz> dustin: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:36] <dustin> kgrub?
[14:36] <Nitrodist> sorry
[14:36] <Nitrodist> kgrubeditor
[14:36] <raubvogel> dustin: vi /boot/grub/menu.lst perhaps?
[14:36] <dustin> I've tried it
[14:36] <Nitrodist> and?
[14:36] <dustin> I can't make heads or tails
[14:37] <punk_rocker_gul> ok
[14:37] <fcarramate> unop and Boohbah: try to use -i option on sed command
[14:37] <dustin> I don't know how to add fedora and opensuse, not 100% sure what the linux names for my hard drives are and don't want to screw up my comp
[14:37] <punk_rocker_gul> Nitrodist, i wasnt able to remove knetattach
[14:37] <dustin> kgrubeditor, one second
[14:37] <punk_rocker_gul> can u give me the command

[14:38] <Chiiiiiz> Hello
[14:38] <fd> hello
[14:38] <Zemmy> Morning
[14:38] <Peterflip> Hi!
[14:38] <Chiiiiiz> I have a problem with Jaunty, My Radeon X1300/X1550 Series and Catalyst. Can someone help me?
[14:38] <Peterflip> what's the problem with it?
[14:38] <dustin> llutz: opensuse has not, I think THINK that fedora has
[14:39] <llutz> dustin: you know on what partition you installed fedora/suse?
[14:39] <dustin> yeah
[14:39] <fd> *** i've an issue, i try to look TV with my TV card, but i can't.
[14:39] <Chiiiiiz> I wanted to have a dual screen, with extended display (going with the mouse to other screen by going on the right).
[14:39] <dustin> not sure if suse exists anymore though
[14:39] <grawity> dustin: OpenSuSE.
[14:39] <fd> i've installed mplayer and kaffeine but i don't know how could i see my TVcard
[14:39] <Zemmy> Jaunty see's a blank DVD-R as a DVD-ROM, which means I cannot burn to it. Any thoughts?
[14:39] <dustin> but fedora I gave my entire secondary hard drive
[14:39] <usb_wifi_dongle> i want to use my netbook as an AP and i have 3 different USB wireless dongles whose chipsets are ralink rt73usb, zydas zd1211rw and realtek rtl8187. has anyone here *recently* managed to use any of those in Master Mode, that is AP mode?
[14:39] <Peterflip> in this chat are too many people, i think
[14:40] <fd> when i make a : lsusb my car is reconized :
[14:40] <dustin> which is technically my primary but ubuntu occupies my larger drive so I call that primary
[14:40] <fd> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2040:6502 Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900
[14:40] <llutz> dustin: please pastebin your /boot7grub/menu.lst
[14:40] <llutz> dustin: please pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:40] <Chiiiiiz> I heard that the Jaunty Xorg version was not compatible with Catalyst 9.3, so I waited... I installed today Catalyst 9.6... My PC boots fine, but the displays shows colors dots... I can do nothing. Any idea?
[14:40] <fd> my card is a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900
[14:40] <llutz> !pastebin
[14:40] <ubun00b> Does anyone have experience with OSS4 sound, Ive just got that instead of Alsa. I now hear bleeps when I sound test in preferences, however  rhythmbox still will not play
[14:40] <Guest67803> Hi,Is anyone here?
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> Guest67803:  1326 people here.
[14:40] <dustin> wait a second
[14:40] <dustin> kgrubeditor looks great
[14:41] <dustin> give me a minute or two and if it doesn't work I'll pastebin
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> id like a gui syslinux editor. :0
[14:41] <llutz> dustin: good luck
[14:41] <raubvogel> Guest67803: No. Only meat popsicles
[14:41] <Zemmy> heh meat-popsicles
[14:42] <dustin> alright I've got something
[14:42] <g8tor> hello all
[14:42] <Boohbah> unop: you're right, i forgot to redirect the output to a file
[14:42] <IdleOne> Guest67803: did you need any help with Ubuntu?
[14:42] <apparle> ubun00b: did you find anything in syslog
[14:42] <dustin> it says to enter where the os that is this entry will boot is located
[14:43] <Boohbah> punk_rocker_gul: sudo sed 's/Karthiya/punk_rocker_gul/g' </etc/group >/etc/group && sudo sed 's/Karthiya/punk_rocker_gul/g' </etc/passwd >/etc/passwd && sudo mv /home/Karthiya /home/punk_rocker_gul
[14:43] <unop> Boohbah, well, you don't have to redirect at all if you use sed's -i
[14:43] <dustin> it has a suggestion box, but what should I put for first hard drive, or "c" drive in windows
[14:43] <Nitrodist> Boohbah, she's gone for a reboot
[14:43] <dustin> anybody?
[14:43] <llutz> dustin pastebin output of "sudo fdisk -l" please
[14:43] <ubun00b> Apparle: nah nothing that I understood... However I stumbled upon a guide to change over to OSS4 instead of Alsa, which i followed and now when I do a sound test in preferences I hear bleeps
[14:43] <Guest67803> Excuse me,I'm a Chinese,My english is poor
[14:44] <Nitrodist> dustin I would help you but I have to restart before I can
[14:44] <Zemmy> Jaunty see's a blank DVD-R as a DVD-ROM, which means I cannot burn to it. Any thoughts?
[14:44] <Guest67803> ÓÐÈË¶®ÖÐÎÄÂð
[14:44] <steve_3199> ive noticed a problem in ubuntu that could be quite troublesome, where can i make a suggestion?

[14:44] <Nitrodist> on the internet!
[14:44] <dustin> haha
[14:44] <steve_3199> thanks
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> 'problem' = bug Id think..
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> but with out more details. :) we cant say
[14:45] <bnmrrs> Hey everybody.  I need to set up an "ftp drop box" where users will be able to upload files but not get a listing and not download.  My current idea is to install proftpd and create an ftp-dropbox user.  I would then have directories in ftp-dropbox's home directory or additional users.  Each additional user would only have write access to /home/ftp-dropbox/<user-dir>.  Does that sound like a good idea?
[14:45] <apparle> ubun00b: I had used OSS before starting alsa..........but using OSS is pain in ass.........better try ALSA..........anyways..........do you have mp3 codecs installed
[14:45] <IdleOne> Nitrodist: bugs.ubuntu.com
[14:45] <Nitrodist> ah
[14:46] <Nitrodist> steve_3199, bugs.ubuntu.com
[14:46] <ubun00b> apparle:  hmm this is what i was thinking, how do i check?
[14:46] <steve_3199> oh, its on the home page
[14:46] <steve_3199> i should of looked there, lazy me
[14:46] <punk_rocker_gul> Nitrodist, can u plz giv me the command to remove again?
[14:46] <punk_rocker_gul> plzzzzz
[14:46] <dustin> if I simply tried lilo would it be any problem?
[14:46] <dustin> would it work by default?
[14:46] <Nitrodist> punk_rocker_gul, sudo apt-get remove knetattach
[14:46] <llutz> dustin: i doubt that
[14:46] <apparle> ubun00b: what does alsamixer command give you??
[14:46] <dustin> :(
[14:46] <IdleOne> steve_3199: not exactly but that link will redirect you to launchpad which is what ubuntu uses for bug tracking
[14:47] <dustin> lilo doesn't work by default ?!?
[14:47] <apparle> !mp3 | ubun00b
[14:47] <punk_rocker_gul> wat is sudo password/
[14:47] <Nitrodist> your password to log in
[14:47] <IdleOne> punk_rocker_gul: your password that you setup at install
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> Lili may need some configuring.. and lilo is known to be problematic on some hardware
[14:47] <llutz> dustin: i'm not sure if it will perform an OS-scan. it will work, but maybe not as you expect
[14:47] <punk_rocker_gul> but when i type the password its not coming
[14:47] <boscop> hey. I have a problem with firefox on ubuntu. when I download a file, and double-click on it, I can't open it with the assiciated program. instead, it shows a dialog to search for an app. this is very annoying. do you have any suggestions?
[14:47] <ubun00b> apparle: Sorry dude, still uber n00b with ubuntu here, whats  alsamixer command?
[14:48] <punk_rocker_gul> the cursor stops there.. ;P
[14:48] <dustin> well, will it prevent ubuntu from booting, because if I can acess ubuntu, I can reboot it
[14:48] <Nitrodist> punk_rocker_gul, it's supposed to be 'blank' when you type so that no one knows the length of your password
[14:48] <Blizzerand> Isn't it the root passd
[14:48] <dustin> remove it*
[14:48] <grawity> punk_rocker_gul: it works correctly.
[14:48] <punk_rocker_gul> oh
[14:48] <ubun00b> Thx ubottu i will check it out
[14:48] <Nitrodist> punk_rocker_gul, type the password and hit enter
[14:48] <grawity> Blizzerand: sudo asks for _your_ password.
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> punk_rocker_gul:  it dosent 'echo' anything back to show you entering text
[14:48] <IdleOne> punk_rocker_gul: when you type your password you wont see it or **** but it is there. type the password and hit enter
[14:48] <apparle> ubun00b: goto terminal and type alsamixer and press enter
[14:48] <grawity> punk_rocker_gul: Terminal applications will never show ****s when they ask for passwords.
[14:48] <punk_rocker_gul> thanks everyone i got it..
[14:48] <Nitrodist> lol
[14:48] <Nitrodist> like 8 replies
[14:48] <steve_3199> well, its more of a feature that can help resolve another problem from happening,would i put it as a bug report or post it to ubuntu devel, its about having some sort of protection during the updates
[14:49] <ubun00b> ubun00b: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[14:49] <grawity> Nitrodist: It's common on such channels.
[14:49] <apparle> ubun00b: can you give me a link to your laptop product specs
[14:49] <ubun00b> oops
[14:49] <IdleOne> Nitrodist: we all reply the same thing basically?
[14:49] <Blizzerand> grawity : Ah I have 1 doubt . Even if I update my kernel is it possible to boot with the old kernel
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> 'bad window habbits/training 101' :)
[14:49] <ubun00b> apparle: sure gimme a sec
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> expecting a * or somthing when entering a password
[14:49] <Nitrodist> IdleOne, clearly MY reply was the greatest!
[14:49] <grawity> Blizzerand: Ubuntu does not automatically remove old kernels when installing new ones.
[14:49] <ubun00b> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[14:49] <IdleOne> Nitrodist: ok I'll gie you the points in that case
[14:50] <Nitrodist> chalk it up
[14:50] <Blizzerand> grawity : So after my update my boot up speed reduced , so if I boot from the old kernel can it have the old speed
[14:50] <IdleOne> give*

[14:51] <apparle> ubun00b: I think your problem is exactly similar to mine...............see is you can pastebin the syslog output
[14:51] <ubun00b> apparle: Sure one sec
[14:54] <Leenux> where i can found libxft2 ?
[14:54] <Blizzerand> grawity : You still there
[14:54] <gcl_> hi guys, does anyone know how i can fix the problem with usin
[14:54] <Leenux> i try seacrhing in google or apt-get
[14:54] <Leenux> but, i not found it
[14:54] <apparle> !info libxft2
[14:55] <apparle> Leenux: why version of ubuntu? jaunty hardy etc..
[14:55] <grawity> apparle: what*
[14:55] <Steevo> I've copied a bash script file to my home directory and I'm trying to execute it, but it is giving me an error saying bad interpreter: no such file or directory
[14:56] <Steevo> How do I get this stupid thing to execute?
[14:56] <grawity> Steevo: What is the first line of that script?
[14:56] <Leenux> apparle: interpid ibex
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> Steevo:  check the first line of the script..s ee what its trying to run
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> Steevo:  and how are you trying to run it?
[14:56] <ubun00b> apparle: Still waiting for pastbin to work... must be a big file :S
[14:56] <Blizzerand> Hello there , I just updated my ubuntu kernel and the boot up speed got reduced . If i try to boot from the old kernel can it solve the prob
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> Blizzerand:  try booting from the older one and see if it works?
[14:57] <ubuntu> hola a todos
[14:57] <Pici> !es | ubuntu
[14:58] <ubuntu> con que teclas agrando el terminal
[14:58] <eps> how can i see how many files are in a directory ?
[14:58] <grawity> eps: ls | wc -l
[14:58] <Blizzerand> Dr_Willis : Will it result in loss of data
[14:58] <eps> thank you !
[14:58] <grawity> eps: For a recursive one (with subdirectories), it's find | wc -l
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Blizzerand:  why would it?
[14:58] <grawity> eps: err, find -type f | wc -l
[14:59] <eps> cool, thanks its non recursive
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> it was the kernel you were using befor..
[14:59] <ubun00b> apparle: This log file has 77370 lines of code.
[14:59] <Steevo> sorry about that. grawity, the first line is #! /bin/sh
[14:59] <ubun00b> apparle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/256924/
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> Steevo:  it shoudl be #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash NO space after the #!
[14:59] <Blizzerand> Dr_Willis : Can't think of loosing current system . k let me try
[15:00] <grawity> Blizzerand: The space is allowed.
[15:00] <Dr_Willis>  You srue about that grawity ?  ive never seen a space in there befor.
[15:00] <Steevo> Ok, I'll try that!
[15:00] <grawity> Blizzerand: In fact, some older Unix systems even required the space.
[15:00] <llutz> Dr_Willis: it is allowed
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> old skool. :)
[15:00] <grawity> Dr_Willis: I'm sure, and I've even read a comparison of how various old systems interpreted that line.
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> I DO recall swwing an issue with #!/bin/sh<CR><LF>  ONCE that took me forever to find.
[15:01] <grawity> That could be the problem.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> I forget what editor/how i accidently had  a extra char at the end. (notepad.exe) i think did it.
[15:01] <Steevo> Still the same error.
[15:01] <Blizzerand> grawity  : I am quite sorry but what space
[15:01] <grawity> Dr_Willis: anyway, http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/#details
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Blizzerand: if your data is important you should have a backup
[15:01] <grawity> Blizzerand: The one after #!
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> I forget what editor i used that even showed the <cr><LF> at the end of the lines.
[15:02] <grawity> Blizzerand: Anyway, ignore that - I replied to the wrong nick.
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> :)
[15:02] <grawity> Dr_Willis: Notepad2 does, for example.
[15:02] <MaGicMaX> hey, im using sound convert to convert mp3 to ogg, i was wonder if its worth it to "Resample" and if so, which freq(is higher always better)?
[15:02] <mtlife> !info partimage
[15:02] <chriss5> Is dualbooting XP and Ubuntu recommended? Or should I just use ubuntu fulltime with Wine and Crossover?
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  yea. i think i  used fte to look at the problem script and discovered teh extra characters. :)
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> MaGicMaX: converting from one lossy typye to another lossy type will degrade quality
[15:03] <Blizzerand> ActionScript : Thanks.
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> I recall it was giving some odd error similer ot what he was getting.
[15:03] <Steevo> So what do I try now?
[15:03] <ziroday> MaGicMaX: you usually on resample if you want to make a sound of lower quality, not higher one.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> chriss5: crossover is a paid for software
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> !info notepad2
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> chriss5: not all linux software is fre
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> e
[15:03] <thiebaude> chriss5, nothing wrong with dual booting if you need too, i dont myself
[15:04] <grawity> Dr_Willis: Notepad2 is a Windows app (though I do use it on Wine sometimes).
[15:04] <MaGicMaX> chriss5: i would try out the live CD to make sure ur hardware works the way you want, then if you can find alternative ubuntu programs for everything in windows, i would reccomend going all ubuntu, i did :)
[15:04] <llutz> chriss5: problem with dualboot is, that you will always boot the wrong system :)
[15:04] <Steevo> So do I need to apply any special modes to run a script?
[15:04] <MaGicMaX> ziroday: so resample is not good to do?
[15:04] <punk_rocker_gul> hello Nitrodist
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Steevo:  its possible theres some extra characters at the end of that #!/bin/sh line.
[15:04] <ziroday> Steevo: you have to make it executable
[15:04] <sebrock> anyone knows why I get Error 16:Inconsistent filesystem structure after a kernel update? This has happened two times now. The old kernel works fine.
[15:05] <Steevo> So how to I eliminate that?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Steevo: no just chmod +x the text file and it will be a script
[15:05] <ziroday> MaGicMaX: if you want the sound to be of lower (and therefore smaller filesize) quality then sure
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> Steevo:  where did this script come from?  perhaps pastebin the whole thing
[15:05] <punk_rocker_gul> wats the best ftp software for ubuntu 8.04?
[15:05] <ziroday> !best > punk_rocker_gul
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> !best | punk_rocker_gul
[15:05] <MaGicMaX> ziroday: ive resampled about 300 of my mp3s already at 4800hz, side by side i cant tell the diff between them quality wise
[15:05] <Steevo> I've cut and pasted the code from a website and then cut out the chunks I don't want.
[15:05] <chriss5> Hm. Kay, I've pretty much decided. I'll just run ubuntu from now on. Might be a newbish question, but I do want to make sure: Installing ubuntu will wipe out everything, so I don't have to uninstall any programs now, right?
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> punk_rocker_gul:  would depend on your needs.. I suggest learning to use ssh, and forgetting about ftp
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> punk_rocker_gul: best is an opinion and is therefore not concrete
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> Steevo:  using  what os/editor?
[15:06] <ubuntu> please my friends
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> punk_rocker_gul: and do you mean ftp client or server?
[15:06] <mtlife> why is clonezilla not working for me? its not booting? tried newer and older versions
[15:06] <MaGicMaX> ziroday: in fact the ogg's sound a bit better on the highs
[15:06] <Leenux> apparle: i had install libxft2. But my error not resolved
[15:06] <ziroday> MaGicMaX: more then likely, most (if not all) people can tell the difference
[15:06] <ubuntu> need help
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> punk_rocker_gul: ftp is only a protocol, you havent clarified server or client
[15:06] <ziroday> MaGicMaX: but some people like to get wound up on that sort of thing :)
[15:06] <Leenux> apparle: need help in http://pastebin.com/m7c79d892

[15:06] <b3rz3rk3r> !question | ubuntu
[15:06] <MaGicMaX> chriss5: thats right, it will format during install (choose use entire disk)
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> !ftp > punk_rocker_gul
