[03:53] <SyphonSilent> What us a good C compiler?
[03:53] <ajavid> gcc
[03:53] <SyphonSilent> for linux
[03:53] <cuddlefish> slower?
[03:53] <edbian> phpgunner: You have stumbled upon a very difficult task.  I do know though that if you have the correct driver installed you DO find the networks.  Otherwise it is a driver problem (unless the device physically doesn't work)
[03:53] <phpgunner> but can't use it, so just upset with the pos :(
[03:54] <ajavid> tacoscari, please do not msg me
[03:54] <kj4> cuddlefish, turn your burner down to 16x or so
[03:54] <phpgunner> edbian: went through 3 diff processes now with the driver, know thats not the problem
[03:54] <tacoscari> ajavid: sorry
[03:54] <ajavid> tacoscari, pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:54] <phpgunner> edbian: i think its the wifi button
[03:54] <cylix> wow upgrading from feisty right now while be hind a proxy is a bear!  I'm not having any fun.. and its a production server.
[03:54] <phpgunner> edbian: no idea where to begin with that though
[03:54] <cuddlefish> I only have 2x and 16x
[03:55] <cuddlefish> and 0x
[03:55] <musicpengiun> bastidrazor, you had to do all that !!!!!
[03:55] <edbian> phpgunner: The wifi button?
[03:55] <kj4> cuddlefish, try 2x
[03:55] <cuddlefish> kayt
[03:55] <ajavid> musicpengiun, did you get it loaded?
[03:55] <scales11> ok all another question : anyone know where i can add wpa protection to this setup: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessAccessPoint
[03:55] <phpgunner> yea, its red when i guess hardware is off and blue when its on
[03:55] <bastidrazor> bastidrazor, it really isn't that much.. and yes i followed it all
[03:55] <phpgunner> pushed it but nothing happens
[03:55] <TruthTaco> looking for help getting HD video's to display properly
[03:55] <TruthTaco> in vlc
[03:55] <musicpengiun> ajavid, not yet
[03:55] <TruthTaco> or anything else for that matter
[03:55] <phpgunner> at least that is the way it works in windows
[03:55] <ajavid> TruthTaco, can your gfx card process HD?
[03:55] <musicpengiun> ajavid, do i have too Blacklist ath_hal and ath_pci
[03:56] <ajavid> TruthTaco, mayhap
[03:56] <phpgunner> even installed wicd manager, but that didn't help either
[03:56] <edbian> phpgunner: That is probably the driver.  I'm gonna do my best helping but I'm not making any guarantees.  What is the name of the wifi card??
[03:56] <bastidrazor> musicpengiun, heh.. ^^ .. anyway really just get the driver unzip it.. yes blacklist ath_pci and then make make install then reboot
[03:56] <TruthTaco> ATI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900]

[03:56] <apetickler> Does anyone here love helping people with Samba?
[03:56] <TruthTaco> thats what video card i have
[03:56] <ajavid> TruthTaco, i have the same card
[03:56] <edbian> phpgunner: Please begin your posts with my name :)
[03:56] <ajavid> TruthTaco, radeon will not display/render/process HD video
[03:56] <SyphonSilent> Is C and C++ the same thing?
[03:56] <ajavid> TruthTaco, only fglrx will
[03:57] <phpgunner> edbian: 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[03:57] <phpgunner> edbian: sorry bout the name thing, usually do :P

[03:57] <mbostwick> hello I have installed a new custom kernel but nvidia brakes, I can re run the nvidia installer everytime I switch kernels but is there a way to avoid doing that ?
[03:57] <ajavid> fire GL X
[03:57] <edbian> phpgunner:  ubuntu 9.04??
[03:57] <phpgunner> yea
[03:57] <ajavid> ati proprietry video driver, called catalyst
[03:57] <phpgunner> edbain
[03:57] <phpgunner> err
[03:57] <msl> SyphonSilent, No, but they are similar
[03:57] <phpgunner> edbian: xchat is buggy here
[03:57] <edbian> ??
[03:57] <edbian> phpgunner: How so?
[03:58] <TruthTaco> so theres no way for me to run HD video without changing my video card?
[03:58] <musicpengiun> ajavid, thanks..
[03:58] <ajavid> mbostwick, shouldn't be using nvida binary intaller anyway
[03:58] <musicpengiun> bastidrazor, thaks
[03:58] <ajavid> its not supported here
[03:58] <phpgunner> edbian: like for example, your last post was right in my nick...
[03:58] <ajavid> mbostwick, use nvidia module from ubuntu
[03:58] <TruthTaco> smplayer seems to play HD video but it just randomly pauses on me
[03:58] <phpgunner> edbian: dunno why
[03:58] <mbostwick> ajavid: I wasn't at first but it would work with the new kernel
[03:58] <edbian> phpgunner: That's odd
[03:58] <ajavid> use restricted drivers, or use module-assistant to build your own
[03:58] <bastidrazor> phpgunner, do you know the SSID's of the networks around you? do they have security?
[03:58] <ajavid> custom kernel, you need to rebuilt the module
[03:58] <edbian> phpgunner: See my personal message?
[03:58] <tacoscari> ajavid: do u want me to type he output of the command sudo etc/x11....
[03:58] <scales11> ajavid: any advice on how i can get wpa protection on this setup https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessAccessPoint
[03:59] <phpgunner> edbian: the bastidrazo one?
[03:59] <fookme> Hello. VLC isn't playing some of my mp3s and I'm using the medibuntu repository. I'm sure it used to play them. Anyone know what might be wrong?
[03:59] <ajavid> mbostwick, install module-assistant, nvidia-kernel-src etc. etc. and sudo m-a a-i nvidia
[03:59] <ajavid> tacoscari, i just want you to look for the line in your xorg.conf that says 'nvidia' and chagne that to nv or vesa
[03:59] <edbian> phpgunner: Look at your list of channels.
[04:00] <ajavid> tacoscari, if that part is not in your file, it means Xorg is picking up nvidia automatically, and you now need to override that in xorg.conf by specifying a diff driver
[04:00] <bc> ugh, canonical.com designers used Adobe?
[04:00] <ajavid> tacoscari, google for sample xorg.conf or look in /usr/share/doc/ somewhere in there
[04:00] <nafunu> WOuld you guys reccommend running 8.10 instead of jaunty for a linux noob?
[04:01] <Viking667> hey there. Sorry to ask this yet again, but I'm getting errors whenever I try to run apt-get update on jaunty-security. It keeps complaining that the following signatures were invalid:  40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:01] <bc> nafunu: I'd give 9.10 a try, then fallback to 8.10 if you run into problems the channel can't help you solve.
[04:01] <bc> nafunu: 9.04, sorry
[04:01] <ajavid> scales11, nope
[04:02] <scales11> bummer
[04:02] <Viking667> where do I get this particular public key from?
[04:02] <nafunu> well, Im running into graphics issues and I almost to the point of switching back windows. I love Ubuntu but Im having a hell of a time with these graphical handicap.
[04:02] <ablyss> why would ubuntu take opera out of its line of distro sources
[04:02] <Viking667> ... and yes, I know it should have happened in the version upgrade, but it didn't seem to.
[04:03] <bastidrazor> Viking667, how did you upgrade?
[04:03] <tacoscari> ajavid: It goe like  this Section "screen"
[04:03] <ShadowSaint> Good evening folks. Nice to see that I'm not the only one who is in to Ubuntu. =) Running the system off a thumb drive.
[04:03] <tacoscari> Identifier
[04:04] <bc> nafunu: I can't help too much with graphics issues, but what is happening?
[04:04] <tacoscari> and the dvide sadis "configured video device", so change configured video device to ves??

[04:05] <Viking667> bastidrazor: uh, through the desktop upgrade tool. It advised me that a new version of Ubuntu was available, so I selected to upgrade. I had to comment _out_ the security source to do so successfully though.
[04:05] <ajavid> tacoscari, you can install links2 or elinks, links, lynx, w3m, use one of those browsers to go to http://paste.debian.net/ <- at the bottom is a place where you can type in the location of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it will upload it to the pastebin and give you a link, giv me that link
[04:05] <ajavid> tacoscari, then i'll tell you what to do to it
[04:06] <ajavid> tacoscari, to enable easy copy/paste and mouse use while in cli/console, sudo aptitude install gpm; sudo /etc/init.d/gpm start

[04:25] <oespirit> Hello there, I am a student developer who has lost all my stuff, thanks to a ubuntu-wont-boot-after-kernel upgrade - same problem as that stated in this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devmapper/+bug/358654  However the solution there doesnt work for me as updating was competely done.
[04:25] <Ricochet> i am too much of a noob
[04:25] <cuddlefish> gfx?
[04:25] <FloodBot2> Ricochet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:25] <ajavid> I'm not supporting windows in here and I will direct users to the correct channel
[04:25] <ubuntunoobneedin> yes my drive is full why can't i delete stuff
[04:25] <Flannel> ajavid: ##windows has no idea what grub is.
[04:25] <ajavid> if you have a problem with it, then Im sorry.
[04:25] <cuddlefish> graphics?
[04:25] <ajavid> Flannel, I told him to go there to find out how to edit boot.ini
[04:25] <ajavid> please read more carefully before you confront next time
[04:26] <cuddlefish> I have a video card, if that's what you mean
[04:26] <InCrypto> cuddlefish, i faced similar issues earlier and all i did was detach the GFX card (mine was a 7200GS) install Ubuntu and then re attch the GFX card
[04:26] <ajavid> Flannel, once again, I refuse to support windows in here and I WILL direct users to the proper venue
[04:26] <Flannel> ajavid: You did.  But you also didn't tell him *what* to remove.
[04:26] <cuddlefish> Well, it won't boot without a video card
[04:26] <Ricochet> can anyone help me out?
[04:26] <ajavid> ?
[04:26] <ajavid> is this how you deal with things?
[04:27] <Ricochet> ok what terminal command can I use to edit xorg.conf
[04:27] <ajavid> Shame on you.
[04:27] <InCrypto> cuddlefish, is it a onboard video card or ... ?
[04:27] <lstarnes> Ricochet: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:27] <Flannel> ajavid: You did.  But you also didn't tell him *what* to remove.  He didn't ask how to edit boot.ini, he asked what to remove to get rid of grub.
[04:27] <Ro9u3oR> how can i enable wifi
[04:27] <oespirit> Can somebody please help me out with out this ? I am assuming changing back to original kernel might help me out. Am I right there ? btw, the update was done because I went to recovery menu and chose dpkg fix broken packags
[04:27] <cuddlefish> no, it's an AGP video card
[04:27] <lstarnes> Ricochet: or sudo nano instead of gksudo gedit
[04:27] <InCrypto> Ricochet, sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:27] <cuddlefish> AIT
[04:27] <cuddlefish> *ATI
[04:27] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,   check in Home /.local/share/Trash
[04:27] <ajavid> Flannel, when you edit boot.ini you will see. If are you unable to do that then that is your problem.
[04:28] <ajavid> Flannel, you need to relax and not tell me how to do things, I'm not doing anything wrong
[04:28] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  maybe you can delete some files manually from there
[04:28] <ajavid> Flannel, if you prefer I can come to #ubuntu-ops and discuss this with you...
[04:28] <Flannel> ajavid: Be my guest
[04:28] <InCrypto> ok cuddlefish make sure the install media is not corrupted , the SATA cabled to ur HDD are not messed up
[04:28] <ajavid> I don't particularly care.
[04:28] <Viking667> hm. Time I left, I suspect
[04:28] <Viking667> bye
[04:28] <ajavid> Just relax. I'm pretty sure so far my support here has been appreciated. Kindly check the backlog.
[04:29] <cuddlefish> There's no HDD, just a cd drive. The install media reports 0 errors
[04:29] <aaronsnell89> I need Driver for Rocketfish 5.1 PCI Sound Card
[04:29] <InCrypto> Flannel, if i may ... Guest3396 was bein rude and wayyy off topic .. ajavid and a few of us genuinely tried to help him  ..and he kept asking about porno
[04:29] <Ro9u3oR> can someone at least lead me in the direction of finding some info. on how to enable my wifi
[04:30] <InCrypto> cuddlefish, wat is the destination media to where UBuntu is being installed on ... a HDD rite ??
[04:30] <Ghoti> Help!  Every so often, the Jaunty box that is also my router and media server goes catatonic- It will still route, but I can not SSH to it, nothing other than the routing works, and I can't even interact with the physical terminal!  Sometimes, this sort of IP traffic dump is all I can see; other times it's just a blank screen.  Anyone have any ideas?  http://is.gd/134iw  (Sorry for the image of text, but I can't pastebin it because the machine
[04:30] <Ghoti>  isn't interactive)
[04:30] <coz_> Ro9u3oR,   try here  http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_9.04_Jaunty_Jackalope
[04:31] <cuddlefish> Just booting a livecd
[04:31]  * Slade likes the gnome themes from the gnome look website :)
[04:32] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  did you check in that location?
[04:32] <InCrypto> cuddlefish, so wen u boot frm a Live cd u get this ..afaik u need a HDD in ur machine for installing UBuntu  or any other OS :)
[04:32] <cuddlefish> I don't need to install yet
[04:32] <ubuntunoobneedin> coz_ yes it will not delete anywhere when i try it freazes
[04:32] <ubuntunoobneedin> does ubuntu have a equivelent of system restore?
[04:33] <InCrypto> Ghoti, i think ur LAN card is running into issues wen sending/recieveing
[04:33] <Ro9u3oR> thanks
[04:33] <InCrypto> have u tried replacing the crad and checking ?
[04:33] <gaelfx> I'm using UNR and when I boot up, I can only see the desktop, I cannot see any panels or the usual UNR interface that allows me to open programs graphically, how can I get one of the two of these back?
[04:33] <InCrypto> brb
[04:34] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  mmm  open a terminal and cd  /home/yourname/.local/share/Trash  then do ls   and try  sudo rm -rf nameoffile
[04:34] <edbian> gaelfx: You must turn compiz off to use UNR
[04:34] <Ghoti> InCrypto:  I suppose I could try to acquire another NIC to throw in; I don't have one handy.  There are two in the machine (LAN and WAN); I have tried swapping their assignments, but the problem persists.
[04:34] <CleanLaundry> anyone know of any html offline validators for linux?
[04:34] <gaelfx> edbian: compiz is not enabled
[04:34] <ubuntunoobneedin> coz it says no such file directory
[04:35] <edbian> gaelfx: Ouch, then IDK sorry dude :(
[04:35] <Ricochet> how is the command to restart xorg.conf?
[04:35] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  can you delete any useless. info at all?  movies   music etc ?  or can you back some of them up.?
[04:35] <Ghoti> CleanLaundry: look at libhtml-lint-perl perhaps?
[04:35] <gaelfx> edbian: it's ok, I don't either, so not a big deal that you don't ;) just hope someone has an idea
[04:35] <ubuntunoobneedin> coz it does not seem to delete anything at all i have tried
[04:35] <CleanLaundry> Ghoti, gotcha, thanks
[04:35] <Ghoti> CleanLaundry: My pleasure :)
[04:36] <gaelfx> I think what I need to find is the preference file regarding which windowing method to use and try to change it back to classic
[04:36] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  did you try    sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/*
[04:36] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, you mean like metacity --replace ?
[04:36] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin, in terminal ^^^
[04:36] <InCrypto> Ricochet, logg off and log back in
[04:37] <Jackrabbit> Wooo I got my gfx card working
[04:37] <InCrypto> tht will restart X server
[04:37] <Jackrabbit> now sound lol
[04:37] <Kados_> Can anyone help me with an issue?
[04:37] <saran> hi
[04:37] <Ghoti> Ricochet: or, in a terminal, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:37] <Ghoti> Ricochet: (assuming GNOME)
[04:37] <ubuntunoobneedin> coz_ what was it supposed to do that gave me no errors
[04:37] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  if that doesnt work  open the terminal and  gksu nautilus   then maneuver to the  location in home  and see if you can delete them then
[04:38] <InCrypto> Ghoti, the fact tht u cannot ssh to it somehow looks like a NIC throttling issue ...but then again u mentioned u cannot physically access the box which is weird indeed ...wat does cat /var/log/messages have to say
[04:38] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  that should have removed all files under  Trash/files
[04:38] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  however when you gksy nautilus it will open the root diretory so click File system  then home  then your name etc etc
[04:38] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: what will that do?
[04:39] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  sorry gksudo nautilus
[04:39] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, metacity is the default window decorator for gnome
[04:39] <Ricochet> hey, how do i go back to a working xorg.conf file?
[04:39] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: ok, thanks, I'll give it a go
[04:39] <InCrypto> Ricochet, did u make a backup ?
[04:39] <Ricochet> actually does anyone have a moment that they could help me getting ubuntu working on this computer?
[04:39] <Ricochet> no i did not
[04:40] <Ghoti> InCrypto: http://is.gd/134iw  <-- the last 100 lines of that log
[04:40] <InCrypto> if not then run .. dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg    this will initialise a new wizard and create a new conf based on the input u give
[04:40] <Jackrabbit> any ideas how to make my sound work lol
[04:40] <bastidrazor> Ricochet, this will make a new xorg..   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:40] <ziroday> Ricochet: you can delete/move your xorg.conf as its not needed anymore (this will get you an autoconfigured/default setup)
[04:40] <Ghoti> InCrypto: the lines starting at ~38 resemble what's on the screen when it goes catatonic on me
[04:41] <jumbers> So i herd u leik Mudkipz?
[04:41] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: well, I created a launcher on the desktop and put 'metacity --replace' as the command, but when I run it, nothing seems to change
[04:41] <Ricochet> ziroday how do i delete it?
[04:42] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, you're probably using metacity already.. what are your original troubles?
[04:42] <ziroday> Ricochet: do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old (this will move it, so you have it in case you need it)
[04:43] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: well, when I startup, I only get desktop, no panels or UNR nav windows, so I basically can only use the computer by creating launchers on the desktop, which is kind of a pain
[04:43] <glicks> hey is anyone running ubuntu on a eee 1000he?
[04:43] <gaelfx> what is the command to open a terminal window?
[04:43] <ziroday> glicks: just ask your real question please, also #ubuntu-eeepc
[04:44] <ziroday> gaelfx: alt+f2 , gnome-terminal
[04:44] <Ghoti> glicks: does a 900HD count? :p
[04:44] <gaelfx> hahaha, I forgot gnome...oy, I'm out of practie
[04:44] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, gnome-panel in a terminal
[04:44] <extor> I have a script that runs a command when I execute the script manually, but if I execute the script from cron...the command just doesnt run. The command is dumping an OSD display. And yes I am running the script as the same user from crontab and from the shell...why would OSD not be displayed when the script is run through crontab?
[04:44] <cuddlefish> Okay, so the live cd ubuntu needs a hard drive to boot up?
[04:44] <glicks> Ghoti, not really , cause i heard that the 1000he has some wireless issues
[04:45] <InCrypto> cuddlefish, no it dosent
[04:45] <ravi__> jdas
[04:45] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, you could create a new user and see if the problems persist. if not you've got a configuration issue with your current account
[04:45] <ravi__> Hi dear
[04:45] <InCrypto> Ghoti, im sorry didnt get u
[04:45] <cuddlefish> Okay, then what could be causing my problems?
[04:45] <Ghoti> InCrypto: http://is.gd/134iw  <-- the last 100 lines of that log
[04:45] <Ghoti> InCrypto: the lines starting at ~38 resemble what's on the screen when it goes catatonic on me
[04:45] <InCrypto> cuddlefish, maybe the ROM
[04:45] <msl> extor, One thought is that the cron run has a different environment.  Have you used absolute paths for all your commands and such?
[04:45] <ubuntunoobneedin> coz_ that sudo command you gave me worked everything seems to be working again thank you so much
[04:45] <ravi__> hey sexy
[04:45] <cuddlefish> rom?
[04:45] <cuddlefish> ram?
[04:45] <ravi__> hi der???????????//
[04:45] <Ricochet> ok so now I cant see anything on my screen since I tried to mess with the xorg.conf
[04:45] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin,  very cool :)
[04:46] <Ricochet> can anyone help me out here?
[04:46] <ravi__> gdf
[04:46] <ravi__> gdfg
[04:46] <Ricochet> its pissing me off.
[04:46] <InCrypto> cuddlefish, i mean ur CD ROM
[04:46] <ravi__> dfgpls talk to me
[04:46] <InCrypto> brb guys ..
[04:46] <extor> msl, yes absolute paths..here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1461812
[04:46] <halberd> is it possible to restart X without causing any apps to close?
[04:46] <ravi__> hi
[04:46] <cuddlefish> it says no errors
[04:46] <coz_> ubuntunoobneedin, i would save that command in a text file for later use :)
[04:46] <jp_> i was wondering is there any way to speed up my wireless in ubuntu because it seems to be slower than when i am on in windows
[04:46] <phpgunner> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
[04:46] <Ghoti> extor: If I recall, std{in,out} behave differently when run from cron; that could be relatd.
[04:46] <phpgunner> why do i get that, when i uninstalled ndiswrapper?
[04:46] <ubuntunoobneedin> will do thanks again was stressin out for a while there thanks
[04:47] <terquilino> morning
[04:47] <extor> Ghoti, ahh that makes sense...cuz it does write to a file although OSD is not really stdin...so how to fix it?
[04:47] <Ricochet> ok can someone help me create a new xorg.conf file?
[04:47] <Ghoti> extor: is the OSD an X display?  Could you define OSD more presisely?
[04:47] <ravi__> abe kutte kya ho gaya tujhe
[04:47] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: gnome-panel did it :D
[04:48] <lich0r> ricochet, what for?
[04:48] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: thanks loads man
[04:48] <Flannel> ravi__: This is not a chat channel.  If you want to chat, please go elsewhere.
[04:48] <Ricochet> lich0r: i tried to mess with it and now all i get is a black screen
[04:48] <phpgunner> edbian:you still around?
[04:48] <extor> Ghoti, apt-cache search gnome-osd will get you the exact package--and it used to work in debian lenny
[04:48] <Ricochet> lich0r: i cant see anything and its angering me
[04:48] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, yeah. more than likely you've deleted them.. good luck
[04:48] <extor> or should I make my cron line "/bin/bash /home/extor/watchdedi.sh" instead?
[04:48] <ravi__> you hacked who fu*ked ur sister in bed tightly.........
[04:49] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, if on  a reboot they are gone again you can add gnome-panel to sessions
[04:49] <Ghoti> extor: you might look into reworking your script to use notify-osd, which I believe has replaced that package
[04:49] <lich0r> ricochet, did you screw with it or did the auto detect utility not work? There is a utility you can use to have it detect what you have and create a new file
[04:49] <Kasm279> how can i switch to a USB soundcard quickly and back to my laptop's internal one?
[04:50] <Ricochet> the auto detect utility does not work
[04:50] <Ricochet> lichor: i need help doing this http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Asus_EeeTop
[04:50] <Ricochet> i have an ASUS eee top
[04:50] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: I just switched it back to UNR window mode, I think the problem is UNR doesn't have gnome-panel in startup, and changing to classic mode doesn't add it
[04:50] <gaelfx> bastidrazor: perhaps a bug?
[04:51] <Ricochet> ok I REALLY need help with this
[04:51] <Ricochet> i have a computer that I CAN NOT SEE anything
[04:51] <jp_> hello anyone
[04:51] <jp_> ?
[04:52] <Kasm279> how can i switch to a USB soundcard quickly and back to my laptop's internal one?
[04:52] <gaelfx> Ricochet: are you using UNR?
[04:52] <bastidrazor> gaelfx, i'm seeing similiar complaints on the forums. look at  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136323
[04:52] <Ricochet> gaelfx: i messed with the xorg.conf and i need to set it back to default
[04:52] <Ghoti> InCrypto: did you get the the link that time?
[04:52] <Ricochet> gaelfix: i am trying to do this http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Asus_EeeTop
[04:53] <brian5656> i have a weird problem when im runnin ubuntu my wifi works just fine, but when i logout then login into kubuntu my wifi doesnt work
[04:54] <Ghoti> Ricochet: to get it back to stock, you could try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:54] <gaelfx> Ricochet: have you tried recovery mode xfix option?
[04:54] <Kasm279> brian5656: you have it installed as ubuntu then added the kubuntu-desktop package?
[04:55] <Ricochet> Ghoti: it said command not found
[04:55] <lich0r> Ricochet, I'm sorry...I'm a noob...I was just hoping I could help you because I played with it a bit trying to get my intel chipset working (which I never did :/)
[04:56] <brian5656> ya you know how you can log out and switch from gnome to kde
[04:56] <Ghoti> Ricochet: did you sudo?
[04:56] <Ricochet> ghoti: got it to work! nice!
[04:56] <Ghoti> Ricochet: \o/
[04:56] <gaelfx> Ricochet: I think that command is supposed to be dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:56] <Ghoti> gaelfx: tab-completing disagreed :)
[04:57] <Kasm279> brian5656: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:57] <gaelfx> Ghoti: haha, well, my bad then
[04:57] <Ghoti> gaelfx: no worries :)
[04:57] <brian5656> 9.04
[04:58] <Kasm279> brian5656: add the 'network manager' widget somewhere
[04:58] <brian5656> i akready did
[04:58] <Kasm279> you configure the wifi with that
[04:58] <Kasm279> how can i switch to a USB soundcard quickly and back to my laptop's internal one?
[04:59] <brian5656> ubuntu have a toolbar that says "connect to hidden network" but kubuntu does not
[04:59] <Kasm279> brian5656: go to #kubuntu
[04:59] <Ghoti> ls
[04:59] <Ghoti> ...oops
[04:59] <Kasm279> i know how, but im on xubuntu right now
[04:59] <bastidrazor> Ricochet, there is a #linuxmce channel.
[04:59] <gaelfx> Error: Command 'ls' not found
[05:00] <Kasm279> gaelfx: lol
[05:00] <Ghoti>  /invite /bin  :p
[05:00] <Kasm279> how can i switch to a USB soundcard quickly and back to my laptop's internal one?
[05:01] <stealth-> I have a Realtek ALC880 and I got sound working by changing to OSS, but no sound from firefox, any help?
[05:01] <Kasm279> its all of the sudden quiet...
[05:01] <Ghoti> Kasm279: in a chaotic place like this, the occasional lull is inevitable.
[05:02] <Kados_> Hello everybody... does anyone think they can help me out? :)
[05:02] <Kasm279> stealth-: you mean no sound from firefox as in flash player or any ui sounds?
[05:02] <Ghoti> !ask | Kados_
[05:02] <Kasm279> Kados_: ask away
[05:02] <stealth-> Kasm279: no flash
[05:02] <Kados_> okay
[05:02] <gaelfx> if you want random chaos back, you could always turn off join/part hiding
[05:02] <Kados_> I will repost this :)
[05:02] <Ghoti> gaelfx: hah!
[05:02] <gaelfx> that keeps things pretty noisy
[05:03] <Kados_> I have a friend that I convinced to install Ubuntu 9.04 on their machine... she was doing photo work in gimp and had all sorts of files she copied over to her desktop from her Windows Vista Parition... the files were there and she was working with them all day for two days... she shutdown her computer... and this morning went back into linux. She saw the files on her desktop..but when she...
[05:03] <Kados_> ...went to open them it said that the files did not exist. She restarted just to see if that would fix the issue... now all the files are gone!! She is pretty upset about it...and I cannot for the life of me figure out what caused it.
[05:03] <Ghoti> gaelfx: I wonder how many people in here are using Pidgin :p
[05:03] <Kados_> All I could find related to it at all was https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/349713
[05:04] <Kasm279> stealth-: i think it has something to do with flash, not firefox. try another web browser if  you can (konquerer will qork in a pinch)
[05:04] <gaelfx> fair point, I guess it's not the favorite flavor of most people here, but it is certainly available to most I would guess
[05:04] <_user_> i am using jaunty now and i am downloading 2.6.30 kernel deb files from karmic is it safe to install
[05:04] <Kasm279> work*
[05:04] <stealth-> Kasm279: konquerer freezes when i try flash :/
[05:04] <Ghoti> gaelfx: Oh, it's certainly the most accessable, but I personally oscilate between XChat and irssi
[05:04] <bastidrazor> _user_, no, obviously not
[05:04] <Kasm279> Ghoti: im on konversation
[05:04] <ExMachina> is there a way to automatically upgrade the kernel to 2.6.29?
[05:04] <stealth-> Kasm279: it says the script is causing it to lag and then does nothing
[05:04]  * Ghoti recently converted to irssi from bitchX
[05:04] <ExMachina> or even better, 2.6.30?
[05:05] <Kasm279> stealth-: try opera (the 10 beta is better than 9)
[05:05] <stealth-> Kasm279: k, ill install it
[05:05] <Ghoti> ExMachina: you mean other than by waiting for the package to roll out?
[05:05] <ExMachina> yeah
[05:05] <ExMachina> I don't want to manually compile myself again =
[05:05] <ExMachina> \
[05:05] <brian5656> no one talkin the kubuntu room
[05:06] <_user_> bastidrazor, is that a safer way to get performance gain of new kenenl
[05:06] <ExMachina> there are some nice additional features for ath5k drivers
[05:06] <Kasm279> stealth-: you have to go to their site (ugh) go to download and click 'next' (by the top, next to the features)
[05:06] <Kasm279> brian5656: as usual
[05:06] <brian5656> but i cant understand why kubuntu cant find my hidden wifi but ubuntu can
[05:06] <stealth-> Kasm279: k :(
[05:06] <slak_> What would you guys recommend for a light-weight desktop?  I just did the minimal install.  I'd like my desktop to stay under 150MB ram usage at a standstill.
[05:06] <stealth-> Kasm279: there is no apt-get? not even for 9?
[05:06] <stealth-> Kasm279: thats okay for me
[05:06] <gaelfx> ExMachina: ooh, could you elaborate on these new features for ath5k? anything on the ath9k front?
[05:06] <ExMachina> Slade, fluxbox
[05:06] <Kasm279> brian5656: try right clicking on the net manager and find 'edit connections'
[05:06] <Ghoti> brian5656: by 'hidden'  you mean that there's no SSID broadcast, yes?
[05:07] <ExMachina> gaelfx, mainly stability issues, you might note a lag of ~3-4 seconds on something like iwlist ath0  scan
[05:07] <Kasm279> stealth-: opera isnt open-source, thats why >.<
[05:07] <bastidrazor> _user_, upgrade to karmic or risk the troubles of a kernel not intended for your packages
[05:07] <ExMachina> the delay's been improved
[05:07] <stealth-> Kasm279: k
[05:07] <ExMachina> also the "waiting for hardware reset" bug has also been fixed
[05:07] <brian5656> already did ive tryed everything , i also noticed kubuntu doesnt have a join a hidden network button
[05:07] <lich0r> slak xfce ?
[05:07] <slak_> ExMachina: was that to me?
[05:07] <_user_> bastidrazor, but the new kernel is stable now
[05:07] <ExMachina> er yeah, slak_ fluxbox
[05:07] <Kasm279> brian5656: look for an 'edit connections' button
[05:07] <ExMachina> fluxbox is really nice.
[05:08] <Guest3396> hi, i tried to install winamp but it's not working
[05:08] <gaelfx> ExMachina: spiffy, I'll have to google that a little
[05:08] <Slade> ExMachina,  huh?
[05:08] <slak_> Thanks I'll give it a go.
[05:08] <ExMachina> Slade, sorry lol, wrong preson
[05:08] <Ghoti> ExMachina: it seems that ExMachina is like a Diet Debian when waiting for new packages :)
[05:08] <ExMachina> slak_, but be warned though, it's very very lightweight
[05:08] <ExMachina> ... what lol
[05:08] <bastidrazor> _user_, good luck
[05:08] <_user_> bastidrazor, what is your opinion is it stable?
[05:09] <lich0r> ExMachina, just out of curiousity what advantages does fluxbox have over xfce ?
[05:09] <Ghoti> ExMachina: Well, you know how long it takes for anything to turn up on Deb Stable, yeah? :)
[05:09] <ExMachina> Ghoti, yeah lol
[05:09] <brian5656> kubuntu just doesnt have the setting ubuntu does  , like there isnt a admistration menu
[05:09] <Kasm279> :\
[05:09] <ExMachina> lich0r, fluxbox mainly memory, fluxbox usually uses about 40-50 megs? sometimes less
[05:09] <Kasm279> brian5656: its there
[05:09] <ExMachina> lich0r, in addition it's not tied to any major desktop environment, ie. no need to get gnome, kde, etc.
[05:09] <phpgunner> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
[05:10] <Kasm279> brian5656: because ive used it
[05:10] <phpgunner> i removed ndiswrapper, why do i still get that message?
[05:10] <Ghoti> brian5656: Not trying to start a holy war here or anything, but the kubuntu-desktop doesn't seem quite as.. fully functional as the GNOME package is.    Sure is pretty though :)
[05:10] <bastidrazor> _user_, my opinion is if apt-get upgrade doesn't give it to me i don't go looking outside the repo's.. that is stability
[05:10] <brian5656> i know its very pretty
[05:10] <Kasm279> !alsa
[05:10] <fuffalo> is there a launcher/searcher like app similar to osx's spotlight in ubuntu?
[05:11] <fuffalo> (i know there are some, i'm more looking for which one is best)
[05:11] <brian5656> but i just got linux last week so im a linux vergin
[05:11] <Kasm279> how can i switch to a USB soundcard quickly and back to my laptop's internal one?
[05:11] <lich0r> ExMachina thanks
[05:12] <Slade> got a question about openoffice. When I try to install the RPMs, it keeps saying it depends on things (ie /bin/sh) to install. These things are already installed. Any ideas?
[05:12] <brian5656> when i try to moddify a file it says i dont have permission to do it, but im the only user
[05:12] <phpgunner> i removed ndiswrapper, why do i still get that message??
[05:12] <phpgunner> brian5656, sudo for root
[05:13] <brian5656> in the root folder
[05:13] <phpgunner> sudo gedit filename.txt
[05:13] <Kasm279> brian5656: cause you need root privaleges
[05:13] <brian5656> so if i type sudo root that will fix it
[05:13] <Ghoti> slade:  RPMs?
[05:13] <phpgunner> just sudo brian5656
[05:14] <bishop> joining
[05:14] <Kasm279> Slade: try add/remove programs, not dloading RPMs
[05:15] <ExMachina> is there a program like 3DS max that works on linux?
[05:15] <brian5656> sudo didnt fix it i cant even open the root folder
[05:15] <phpgunner> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
[05:15] <phpgunner>  Anyone ever come across that error before?
[05:15] <Ghoti> ExMachina: Blender?
[05:16] <scott_ino2> brian5656, closest thing is probably blender, maya (they make a linux version)
[05:16] <ExMachina> Ghoti, is it free?
[05:16] <scott_ino2> ExMachina,
[05:16] <digerati> Is there a way to route traffic on a certain port to one of multiple interfaces? i.e. 23 goes out eth0, 21 goes out eth1
[05:16] <scott_ino2> not brian  heh
[05:16] <Ghoti> ExMachina: Yes:  http://blender.org
[05:16] <Slade> Is there a repository for openoffice for ubuntu for updates and such?
[05:17] <brian5656> The program 'root' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[05:17] <J-_> Google
[05:17] <brian5656> sudo apt-get install root-system-bin
[05:17] <brian5656> bash: root: command not found
[05:17] <brian5656> brian@Brians:~$
[05:17] <scott_ino2> ExMachina, Autodesk maya also has a linux version but you'll have to shell out dollars
[05:17] <FloodBot2> brian5656: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <Killeroid> digerati: you should probably ask that on ##linux
[05:17] <brian5656> thats what it said
[05:17] <Kasm279> how can i switch to a USB soundcard quickly and back to my laptop's internal one?
[05:17] <digerati> Killeroid: thank you
[05:17] <LiraNuna> hello, I can't seem to send mail as root using /usr/bin/mail. normal user can, anyone knows what possible problems may be?
[05:17] <phpgunner> brian5656: what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:18] <BeatlesFan> hi all
[05:18] <Ghoti> LiraNuna: What does happen when you try?
[05:18] <ScottG489> How do I change what Desktop Manager starts? I am just familiar with how to do it in Gentoo by going into conf.d and editing xdm. I am in a cli environment now btw
[05:18] <Ghoti> LiraNuna: any errors?
[05:18] <phpgunner> LiraNuna: Should you be sending email as root?
[05:18] <LiraNuna> Ghoti, silent, as if it was successful
[05:18] <scott_ino2> brian5656, should be able to just select whichever device you want to use in volume control
[05:18] <LiraNuna> phpgunner, apcupsd is root (for shutdown) and it needs to notify
[05:18] <scott_ino2> bahh again... sorry brian
[05:18] <Kasm279> how can i switch to a USB soundcard quickly and back to my laptop's internal one?
[05:18] <phpgunner> LiraNuna: Just asking :)
[05:19] <LiraNuna> phpgunner, I don't know any way to run unescalated apcupsd
[05:19] <scott_ino2> Kasm279, you should be able to just select whichever device you're using in volume control
[05:19] <BeatlesFan> when you update Ubuntu version to the next release, do you have to reinstall all your apps?
[05:19] <brian5656> im trying to install konquil-icious
[05:19] <scott_ino2> I've done this before with a USB soundcard
[05:19] <Ghoti> BeatlesFan: generally not.
[05:19] <LiraNuna> phpgunner, I'd love to jail it, but it needs to run various tests, shutdown the system and notify
[05:19] <Fretegi> got a really stupid question
[05:19] <Fretegi> how do u PM in xchat?
[05:19] <Ghoti> LiraNuna: can you have apcupsd call a setuid scrips that send the email?
[05:19] <phpgunner> brian5656: have you tried "sudo apt-get install konquil-icious" without quotes?
[05:19] <Guest53412> linux noob here with a basic problem
[05:20] <LiraNuna> Fretegi, right click on username's nick, open dialog menu
[05:20] <Ghoti> LiraNuna: sort of an ugly sidestep, but if it works, it works, right?
[05:20] <BeatlesFan> ok, what about drivers?  In my case I'm  using a prior version of the Intel 82865G graphics driver...
[05:20] <brian5656> not yet
[05:20] <Kasm279> scott_ino2: im on xubuntu, #xubuntu has no idea, and i brought up the mixer and changed it, but no go
[05:20] <LiraNuna> Ghoti, that what it does, it uses a scipr
[05:20] <Fretegi> im a MIRC user that just is making the transition to linux
[05:20] <Guest53412> how can I install winamp? I'm running kubuntu
[05:20] <Fretegi> oh wow lol that was easy thanks
[05:20] <LiraNuna> Ghoti, or do you mean use su to escalate level?
[05:21] <Ghoti> LiraNuna: or sudo, to send the mail from a uid with whom the mail program works as expected
[05:21] <phpgunner> brian5656: If that don't work, maybe try snyaptic package manager under system-administration
[05:21] <LiraNuna> that'd be a dirty hack and will just avoid the problem
[05:21] <scott_ino2> Kasm279, does your usb soundcard takeover upon reboot if plugged in?
[05:21] <Ghoti> LiraNuna: That's what I said :p
[05:21] <Kasm279> scott_ino2: no
[05:21] <phpgunner> Guest53412: probably need wine for that
[05:21] <naught101> does ubuntu have a custom version of GNU find?
[05:22] <scott_ino2> Kasm279, have you gotten in working first in xubuntu or no?
[05:22] <Ghoti> LiraNuna: Generally, I have my scripts talk directly to an SMTP server :p
[05:22] <LiraNuna> Ghoti, those scripts are automated for apcupsd
[05:22] <phpgunner> Guest53412: have you tried looking for an alternite native ubuntu program?
[05:22] <SuperMiguel> how do i find my sistem cpu/memory? is there a command for that?
[05:22] <LiraNuna> they generate the message+headers on the error
[05:22] <randall> A minute ago my wifi was working fine, then i installed a few packages and rebooted and now when i try to connect it just sits there trying to connect but it never does.
[05:22] <LiraNuna> SuperMiguel, cat /proc/cpu
[05:23] <LiraNuna> SuperMiguel, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:23] <Kasm279> scott_ino2: no, it worked in winXP though :x
[05:23] <LiraNuna> (sorry for that)
[05:23] <SuperMiguel> isnts there a sysinfo command
[05:23] <phpgunner> Guest53412: like Amarok?
[05:23] <SuperMiguel> something like that that would display my ram, my cpu
[05:23] <digitaltao>  /join #austin
[05:23] <SuperMiguel> averything in one command
[05:23] <Ghoti> SuperMiguel: 'top', and look at the top of your screen
[05:23] <scott_ino2> Kasm279, I'd first suggest you find out if your USB soundcard is supported, I know for a fact some of them are as I've used them in the past. I would check the Alsa docs and see what's supported
[05:23] <LiraNuna> SuperMiguel, oh you mean a script for Xchat?
[05:24] <SuperMiguel> no
[05:24] <scott_ino2> Kasm279, also.. let me find an email i had for when we had to do just what you describe
[05:25] <LiraNuna> "Postfix will not deliver mail as root. Instead, Postfix runs procmail (or whatever) as nobody."
[05:25] <mohan_> hi..
[05:25] <mohan_> i am using ubuntu studio RT kernel..
[05:25] <Fretegi> hi mohan
[05:25] <mohan_> i am trying to do remaster of my system..
[05:26] <mohan_> how ever if i boot into the dvd it shows error..
[05:26] <digerati> git yer master on! (sorry had to)
[05:26] <randall> what does it mean when my wifi card can pick up wireless networks but isnt able to connect to them
[05:26] <mohan_> like before booting itself it throws to minimal terminal.. (donno what to say)
[05:26] <Ghoti> mohan_: you said it shows an error. What does it say?
[05:27] <mohan_> and this is the error cp:cannot creat /root/var/og/ : no such file or directory and such...
[05:27] <Fretegi> what happens when u try to connect randall?
[05:27] <qarl> Hey guys, when I lock my screen in a twinview setup, only the primary monitor gets locked. The other one is completely usable. Anyway to fix this?
[05:27] <mohan_> and also mount:mountiner/proc on /oot/proc failed: no such file or directory. No init found.
[05:27] <mohan_> Try using init=bootrag.
[05:28] <randall> Fretegi, it does the swirling green/blue icon but nothing else, it never connects. it askes me for a password and i type it in but after that nothing
[05:28] <daftword> **can anyone help with configuring Totem to watch DVB channels
[05:28] <daftword> ?
[05:28] <Ghoti> randall: sometimes I get that, and rebooting my WAP fixes it for a couple days.
[05:28] <mohan_> Ghoti: any idea?
[05:28] <Fretegi> well could be a few things...
[05:28] <randall> I just installed a bunch of programs on a fresh install of 9.04
[05:29] <randall> then rebooted
[05:29] <Ghoti> mohan_: it sounds like your mount points on the remaster aren't set up properly..  I"ve never rolled my own BootCD, so I don't have much advice to give beyond that I"m afraid
[05:29] <randall> i had wifi before after installing the drivers
[05:29] <mohan_> Ghoti: oh..
[05:29] <Fretegi> but im new to linux lol. are you?  are u using the right security protocol for the password?
[05:29] <Fretegi> that is one difference from windows that i have noticed
[05:29] <mohan_> anybody?
[05:30] <mohan_> and also one more problem..
[05:30] <randall> Fretegi, yeah correct password and protocol which i was using before
[05:30] <mohan_> if i boot into live cd.. it doesn't recognise the network..
[05:30] <Fretegi> check the proxy settings
[05:30] <mohan_> whats the command to activate it?
[05:30] <randall> mohan_, thats a driver issue isnt it?
[05:31] <mohan_> no.. sometime it works..
[05:31] <randall> mohaun_ unless you mean wired network lol
[05:31] <mohan_> sometime doesn't
[05:31] <mohan_> yes ethernet network.
[05:31] <mohan_> link deactivates..
[05:31] <randall> Fretegi, how do you "reboot" wap?
[05:32] <mohan_> ifup eth0 doesn't work..
[05:32] <BeatlesFan> mohan_, you have it set up for Dynamic IP or Static IP?
[05:32] <pspsamspsp> is this working?
[05:32] <mohan_> BeatlesFan : can't set those parameters..
[05:33] <mohan_> BeatlesFan : card is disabled..
[05:33] <mohan_> BeatlesFan : but typing ifconfig shows my card./.
[05:33] <rob_p> pspsamspsp, Yes.  We see your text.
[05:33] <pspsamspsp> what is the application in system -> preferences -> sound ? i want it on arch
[05:33] <Fretegi> not sure on that ask ghoti, however check ur proxy config
[05:34] <mohan_> BeatlesFan : mine is Dynamic IP
[05:34] <Fretegi> i got 8.10 and my proxy is screwed everytime i install.. which in the week of linux experience i have has been about 6 installs
[05:34] <LiraNuna> Ghoti, oh my, apparently google filters<EMAIL_ADDRESS>as spam ...
[05:36] <Fretegi> ur proxy alright randall?
[05:36] <naftilos76> hi to everyone, i just do not know where exactly to ask the following question so i'll just ask it here as it has to do with a lot of stuff! What should i be using in order to keep updated at all times all the folders of my Ruby on Rails tree on the server side? I'm using netbeans 6.5! Does CVS or Subversion do this <updating the files on the server side> besides version control?
[05:36] <randall> Fretegi, i have no idea what that is lol
[05:36] <Fretegi> lol k
[05:36] <Fretegi> how do u connect to net?
[05:36] <Fretegi> normal cable modem and a router?
[05:36] <randall> Fretegi, through wifi?
[05:36] <simoncpu> hello, anyone here plays pingus?
[05:36] <simoncpu> what's the shortcut keys for the penguins abilities?
[05:37] <cattellar> I have no sound,  I just have sound from the internal speaker, I think my card is not being recognized, what can I do?
[05:37] <decaprime> cattellar are you using an xfi card, i'm in a similar situation
[05:37] <Fretegi> can u connect to ANY network is where i was going, such as a home wireless router?
[05:37] <bastidrazor> cattellar, internal speaker.. like a speaker beep?
[05:38] <cattellar> like a very bad quality one
[05:38] <randall> Fretegi, oh, I am connected through a lan cable to my router, which is connected to my modem. my wifi is the only problem
[05:38] <LiraNuna> can root fake uid?
[05:38] <LiraNuna> without su username -c ' ... '
[05:38] <mohan_> anybody have idea on remastersys?
[05:38] <cattellar> bastidrazor, decaprime lspci detects my creative labs SB X-Fi card
[05:38] <Fretegi> so have u been able to connect to ANY wireless source at all since this install?
[05:39] <randall> Fretegi, yes, two other laptops are currently using the wifi
[05:39] <randall> Fretegi, oh but not with this laptop
[05:39] <Fretegi> lol no this computer that is having the issue?
[05:39] <Fretegi> lol ok
[05:39] <Fretegi> go to system
[05:39] <Fretegi> preferences
[05:39] <cattellar> decaprime, what do you think it is?
[05:39] <Fretegi> network proxy
[05:40] <Fretegi> is "direct internet connection" checked?
[05:40] <stealth-> I cant get audio out of firefox flash, same with opera. Any help?
[05:40] <randall> Fretegi, yes
[05:40] <Fretegi> k
[05:40] <Fretegi> now when searching, it sees the available networks right
[05:41] <thyri> my brother dcp-135c printer is unable to give printouts...though i installed the driver but even it shows receiving data in printer but nothing happenes...no papers comes out....any idea
[05:41] <BeatlesFan> randall, try turning the WEP off and see if you can connect
[05:41] <randall> Fretegi, yes, both my router, and several others
[05:41] <decaprime> cattellar, honestly i've been on ubuntu for 2 days from what I can tell by default there isn't support but you can build drivers from creative that are supposedly 64bit asla drivers- i've done this and it certainly recognizes the xfi card but it blares the audio so loud its unusable and doesn't seem to respond to changing the volumne
[05:41] <randall> BeatlesFan, how should I do that?
[05:41] <BeatlesFan> randall, you have to go to the PC that's connected to the router
[05:42] <randall> BeatlesFan, this one has a wired connection to the router as well
[05:42] <cattellar> decaprime, have you seen other solutions online?
[05:42] <BeatlesFan> randall, ok, gotcha
[05:42] <decaprime> Speaking of which, that is basically my own question: I have the latest xfi drivers (Nov 08) and I can't seem to control their volume
[05:42] <naftilos76> Can anybody help me with the following? I just do not know where exactly to ask the following question so i'll just ask it here as it has to do with a lot of stuff! What should i be using in order to keep updated at all times all the folders of my Ruby on Rails tree on the server side? I'm using netbeans 6.5! Does CVS or Subversion do this <updating the files on the server side> besides version control?
[05:42] <donkeyman> anyone know how to unrar a list of volumes from cli
[05:42] <glicks> hey what version of ubuntu should i run on my eeepc
[05:42] <randall> glicks, they have a notebook remix
[05:42] <jumbers> So i herd u leik Mudkipz?
[05:42] <Fretegi> randall, this is a laptop right
[05:42] <glicks> randall, you mean eeebuntu ?
[05:42] <randall> Fretegi, yess
[05:42] <decaprime> cattellar, i've seen two main solutions, these drivers or there are threads about replacing asla with OSS4
[05:43] <mobi-sheep> glicks: Ubuntu Warty Warthog
[05:43] <Fretegi> k, dumb question, but when tryting to connect via wireless are u also plugged into a port?
[05:43] <randall> glicksm im pretty sure its just called "Ubuntu Laptop Edition" or something, on the official download page
[05:43] <Fretegi> what kind of lappy randal?
[05:43] <randall> Fretegi, yes, i ran a lan wire to the router that i am trying to connect to wirelessly
[05:44] <randall> Fretegi, a Compaq Presario
[05:44] <donkeyman> chello?  anyone know how to unrar a set of volumes via command line?
[05:44] <Fretegi> try unplugging the wired connection prior to trying wireless
[05:44] <Gigacore> hi guys
[05:44] <mobi-sheep> glicks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Netbook_Remix
[05:44] <randall> Fretegi, i tried with no success
[05:44] <fuffalo> is it possible to get amarok to move all your music to one location as you add it to your library?
[05:44] <Fretegi> k
[05:44] <n3f> hi everyone.
[05:45] <Fretegi> well i have two ideas
[05:45] <Gigacore> i just installed amarok 2 on my ubuntu 9.04 but I am not able to play any tracks. all codecs are properly installed.. what's the problem?
[05:45] <Fretegi> 1. i have straight ubuntu working on my laptop just fine....
[05:45] <n3f> I need to install Xilinx Verilog on my ubuntu hardy. Should I use wine or virtual machine?
[05:46] <Fretegi> i had to down grade to 8.10 tho due to hardware issues that may infact be plaguing u as well
[05:46] <randall> n3f, i guess try wine first
[05:46] <glicks> mobi-sheep, is that the desktop that comes with it? can i just have the regular desktop if i want?  the interface seems kina strange to me
[05:46] <Gigacore> i just installed amarok 2 on my ubuntu 9.04 but I am not able to play any tracks. all codecs are properly installed.. what's the problem?
[05:46] <Fretegi> the other is to type "unset http_proxy" in the terminal
[05:46] <bishop> randell same problems here
[05:46] <Fretegi> to ensure that no proxy configs are active
[05:47] <mobi-sheep> glicks: Do you have any Ubuntu running -- the one not associated with your netbook?
[05:47] <randall> Fretegi, whats confusing is that it was working earlier. i messed up by installing something i think but i cant seem to pin point what it is
[05:47] <n3f> randall, i googled wine for their database applications, but it seems they do not support xilinx verilog.
[05:47] <Fretegi> how is ur video?
[05:47] <randall> n3f, then i guess you have to emulate windoze lol
[05:47] <Fretegi> u say u got 9.04 randal? how is ur video?
[05:47] <glicks> mobi-sheep, no, currently my netbook is running xp only
[05:48] <randall> Fretegi, works fine
[05:48] <chinmaya> i would like to change the text of the desktop font....?
[05:48] <donkeyman> Anyone - how do you unrar a set of volumes from command line?
[05:48] <Fretegi> type lspci in the terminal randal
[05:48] <Fretegi> is it an ati video card?
[05:48] <mobi-sheep> glicks: You can have a regular Desktop on your netbook though.  I have a netbook myself and UNR weren't for me. :)
[05:48] <randall> Fretegi, http://pastebin.com/f63533ced
[05:49] <chinmaya> anyone--- how to change the text of  the desktop font?
[05:49] <decaprime> Aparently with the xfi drivers I can only get the audio to be at 100% or off- any info on getting the volume to be adjustable?
[05:49] <glicks> mobi-sheep, but the regular desktop eats through the eeepc battery doent it
[05:49] <glicks> and has wifi glitches
[05:49] <n3f> randall, Any other options aside using virtualbox?
[05:49] <randall> Fretegi, I am fairly confident that if i re-install 9.04 the wifi would work again, but im trying to avoid this lol
[05:49] <BeatlesFan> chinmaya, System>Preferences>Appearance
[05:49] <randall> n3f, what is teh program again?
[05:50] <n3f> randall, xilinx verilog
[05:50] <cuddlefish> ARGGGH!
[05:50] <chinmaya> it shows the font style not color
[05:50] <chinmaya> BEatlesFan
[05:50] <cuddlefish> This thing keeps throwing errors!
[05:51] <mobi-sheep> glicks: When you install Ubuntu for first time, there [may] be some glicks to work with.  After you are done with that, you'll be fine.  Heck, the glicks may be long gone already since many people probably have same netbook as yours... running Ubuntu already.
[05:51] <Fretegi> what do ur logs say?
[05:51] <randall> n3f, isnt that a linux program?
[05:51] <randall> Fretegi, which logs?
[05:51] <Fretegi> system logs
[05:51] <LiraNuna> can root execute a command as another user without su? (su needs an active terminal)
[05:51] <mobi-sheep> glicks: Nothing you can do about battery drain except trying to trim down services and lower monitor display and such.
[05:51] <BeatlesFan> Chinmaya, go into Themes, Details, Customize
[05:51] <randall> Fretegi, where are those?
[05:51] <n3f> randall, nope, I do not think so. We are using it on windows in our uni.
[05:51] <glicks> mobi-sheep, so i can run regular ubuntu jaunty on my netbook?
[05:51] <BeatlesFan> chinmaya: in the same menu
[05:51] <detach->  hey guys, are there any alternative tools for serial consoles apart from minicom?
[05:52] <mobi-sheep> glicks: Yes.
[05:52] <rob_p> n3f, Not sure how comprehensive the Linux design tools talked about here are, but maybe would be of interest to VHDL guys:  http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6857
[05:52] <Fretegi> again i am new to linux so i am trying to learn to nvaigate, but i am computer savvy.. we should be able to see why ur card is not connecting
[05:52] <donkeyman> Anyone - how do you unrar a set of volumes from command line please?
[05:52] <mobi-sheep> !usb | glicks
[05:52] <stealth-> k, ill keep looking into it while you do whatever.
[05:52] <stealth-> I cant get audio out of firefox flash, same with opera. Any help?
[05:52] <Fretegi> i think that may be displayed in ur logs,
[05:52] <Fretegi> go to
[05:52] <randall> n3f, thats the problem with programs that arent widely used. the only solution is to dual boot/emulate lol
[05:52] <stealth-> ignore that first line
[05:52] <Fretegi> system
[05:52] <Fretegi> administration
[05:52] <n3f> rob_p, Okay thanks, i'll read that discussion now.
[05:52] <FloodBot2> Fretegi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:53] <Fretegi> system log
[05:53] <n3f> randall, I most likely to consider that :D
[05:53] <rob_p> n3f, They hava a Linux suite called, "ISE" that may be promising.
[05:53] <randall> Freteg, im not seeing it under System > Administration
[05:53] <WIGGMPk> I am having a problem with Transmission, when downloading a torrent, everything else that requires internet HAULTS, despite settings download bandwidth limits..
[05:54] <rob_p> n3f, Good luck with it.  You VHDL programmers are a breed of your own!  ;-)
[05:54] <bishop> leaving...seeya
[05:54] <Fretegi> its called "system log"
[05:55] <Fretegi> u can get it in the terminal as well not sure of the syntax
[05:55] <randall> Fretegi, perhaps on 9.04 they renamed it to "Log File Viewer"?
[05:55] <Fretegi> could be, open and paste
[05:55] <Slade> does anyone know if the Monotype Corsiva font is available for linux?
[05:56] <ezeike> How can I configure phonon to use pulseaudio? I'm trying to get amarok2 going properly.
[05:56] <donkeyman> Anyone - how do you unrar a set of volumes from command line please?
[05:56] <thyr1> is ther any guide for linux commands
[05:56] <thyr1> easy one online
[05:56] <randall> Fretegi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/196797/
[05:57] <stealth-> donkeyman: sudo apt-get install unrar; unrar packagename
[05:57] <stealth-> donkeyman: its pretty straight forward
[05:57] <TheNo1Yeti> thyr1: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=beginner+linux+commands
[05:57] <b9l3> when a new drive is added into a raid1 array with mdadm, does it need to be formatted as ext3,reiserfs,etc. (whatever the raid array is using) or is this not needed as long as it's partition type is set to fd ?

[06:52] <enovativ> bastidrazor: thanks
[06:52] <enovativ> forgot about that
[06:52] <chalcedony> mobi-sheep: my xchat has a bug in the gui, where you enter your data, usernames and server info .. it vanishes when i click .. so i can't use it to go to other servers on the bnc i'm forced to use because of ddos.
[06:52] <lex0> nick_schemri: ok partition editor wont let me create a new partiton
[06:52] <lstarnes> chalcedony: which version of xchat?
[06:53] <lex0> nick_schemri: do you know what the problem might be?
[06:53] <nick_schembri> is this the gui tool or command line
[06:53] <chalcedony> lstarnes: good to see you 2.8.6 .. khisanth had me download this especially because the one that shipped with ubuntu 8.4 has a bug in logging
[06:53] <lex0> nick_schemri: Im nooby to ubuntu so its gui
[06:54] <bastidrazor> lex0, are you trying to use this on a mounted drive? if so the best way to go is use the liveCD then use gparted
[06:54] <mobi-sheep> chalcedony: You went XChat --> Network List --> Edit --> (all information here?)
[06:55] <lex0> bastidrazor: well am running this already from a mounted drive i want to create a new partiton to play games using windows
[06:55] <chalcedony> mobi-sheep: doesn't work.. i think this bug goes back to the begining of my xchat .. and i would hate to lose my legacy stuff
[06:55] <bastidrazor> lex0, you can not edit a drive while it is mounted. you must unmount it first
[06:55] <lex0> bastidrazor: so i have to run in live cd
[06:56] <oespirit> Can somebody help me out with this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devmapper/+bug/358654 ? I did an upgrade and my system wont boot anymore

[06:56] <iceblock> yaay im back

[06:57] <chalcedony> hmm mobi-sheep ive been fighting that thing forever . they hate me in #xchat
[06:57] <nick_schembri> lex0: backup any data you cant live without just in case and use the livecd to resize the drive
[06:59] <mobi-sheep> chalcedony: You could try starting from scratch.  Rename your .xchat to something.
[06:59] <mobi-sheep> chalcedony: To see if the bug is reproductive.
[06:59] <nick_schembri> bastidrazor: is lex0 going to run gparted from the command line
[07:00] <bastidrazor> nick_schembri, in the liveCD he doesn't have to. he can if he wants
[07:00] <chalcedony> mobi-sheep: maybe i know i don't like the vanilla copies of the new versions but the old ones don
[07:00] <Kartagis> even though I have the adobe-flashplugin installed, I get the message Please install the Flash Player!. why?
[07:00] <chalcedony> t support the modes on undernet
[07:00] <chalcedony> i just found this place where i can get old ones though ..
[07:01] <nick_schembri> bastidrazor: what would you use to resize a drive
[07:01] <chalcedony> http://www.oldversion.com/
[07:01] <bastidrazor> nick_schembri, gparted in the GUI from a liveCD
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> hi there

[07:02] <lstarnes> chalcedony: which bug?
[07:02] <mobi-sheep> chalcedony: You copied the .xchat folder?
[07:02] <racarter> is it possible to get images from your tv on to your linux computer?
[07:03] <`Onyx> What's the console command to update gfx card drivers?
[07:03] <`Onyx> Like how kubuntu has envyng -t
[07:03] <Khisanth> mobi-sheep: it seems whoever set up her system has left it in a very screwed up state wrt xchat at least
[07:03] <chalcedony> lstarnes: when i put data into XChat --> Network List --> Edit --> (all information here?) it doesn't work
[07:03] <mobi-sheep> racarter: Yes.  Assuming you have the coax card where you can plug the cable into.
[07:04] <racarter> mobi-sheep, i don't get why a card is needed
[07:04] <Guest29572> anybody able to help me with a sound issue in 9.04?
[07:04] <Lartza_> Can I somehow see nameserver addresses ubuntu is currently using?
[07:04] <racarter> I can connect a dvi-hdmi cable from the computer to an HD TV for example
[07:04] <racarter> i'm wondering if this can go two ways?
[07:05] <bastidrazor> silv3r_m00n, dvd::rip could.. mencoder could
[07:05] <cbankord> i have an onboard sound card and an audigy 2...my speakers are hooked up to my audigy 2 and i'm getting no sound. any idea how i could fix this?
[07:06] <mobi-sheep> racarter: No.  Not likely.  It was designed for output where you can project your screen out.
[07:06] <chalcedony> lstarnes: by doesn't work i mean when i put new username, new server info .. it doesnt change the main one.
[07:06] <nick_schembri> bastidrazor: is it under the admin menu?
[07:06] <fn][> Hello ubuntu. I need some kind of addon that gives me a report of the latest hack attacks and brute force attempts. It would be nice if it could be emailed. What options are there for that?
[07:07] <bastidrazor> nick_schembri, i think you may need to install it .. use synaptic to install or in a terminal sudo apt-get install gparted
[07:08] <racarter> hmm.. i'm wondering if it's possible to use an ubuntu pc as a poor man's tivo? but you don't want to have to disconnect your cable from your tv every time...
[07:08] <chalcedony> fn][: report how?
[07:08] <fn][> chalcedony, sent to me through email if possible
[07:08] <chalcedony> and hack and brute force on what exactly?
[07:09] <adam> hi
[07:09] <chalcedony> fn][: it's too broad a field be specific
[07:09] <chalcedony> hi adam
[07:10] <adam> y
[07:10] <cbankord> i have an onboard sound card and an audigy 2...my speakers are hooked up to my audigy 2 and i'm getting no sound. any idea how i could fix this?
[07:10] <fn][> chalcedony, oh. I need reports of hack attempts basically, failed logins
[07:10] <adam> am very new to IRC
[07:11] <fn][> chalcedony, port scans too
[07:11] <nick_schembri> lex0 bastidrazor  thinks the resize tool,gparted, meeds to be installed when running the livecd
[07:12] <bastidrazor> !gparted
[07:12] <Khisanth> chalcedony: changing those has no effect on the current connection, furthermore changing those have no effect on ANY connection if you are using a proxy or bouncer
[07:12] <bastidrazor> the gparted liveCD may be a good way to go too..
[07:14] <nick_schembri> adam it ok. what can we do to help
[07:15] <chalcedony> Khisanth: maybe i misunderstood someone, which would be lovely really. i have -psyBNC psyBNC2.3.2-7 Help (* = BounceAdmin only) .. to go to other servers/networks i have to put in a new user:realname (maybe change pass) and then newserver:port .. in order to USE that .. don't i have to have a new username that matches what i put in?

[07:17] <leguille> I heard this is the place to get some answers.
[07:17] <stevecam> leguille, it depends what you ask
[07:17] <smacktalk> I can't edit /etc/services even with sudo
[07:18] <Khisanth> chalcedony: if that is what the bouncer expects then yes
[07:18] <smacktalk> what am I doing wrong?
[07:18] <gst-kaps> #314713 any one please ?
[07:18] <leguille> First time user with linux, and I am on BUNTU 9.04 Jacky. Problem is with video and memory issues with WINE
[07:18] <bastidrazor> smacktalk, what command are you typing?
[07:18] <chalcedony> Khisanth: so how do i do that?
[07:19] <Subsanek> hi
[07:20] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i'm not trying to be stupd (you may think i don't have to try).
[07:20] <Subsanek> Я по русски говорю..
[07:21] <pigol> hi
[07:22] <Khisanth> chalcedony: hmm let me just make a picture
[07:23] <catalin> part
[07:24] <Subsanek> cool
[07:24] <Tensai_> How do I allow SFTP users write access? Do I change the directory permissions or their access rights?
[07:24] <om26er> plz tell me a codec pack
[07:24] <spargonaut> hi all!  I have a network problem that I'm needing help with if anyone is interested in helping me come up with ideas
[07:24] <om26er> a complete codec pack
[07:24] <Tensai_> VLC
[07:24] <bastidrazor> !codec | om26er
[07:25] <glicks> how do you put the 1000he eeepc in low power mode in ubuntu?
[07:25] <Boohbah> Tensai_: users should have write access to their home directory by default
[07:25] <glicks> like disable bluetooth and stuff
[07:25] <bastidrazor> Tensai_, you could allow everyone to have write access .. not the smartest route but your call
[07:26] <Tensai_> I created a link to a samba share in each users home directory - how do I let them write to it as well as read?
[07:26] <spargonaut> no.  I just got a cable ISP installed today and it will only give an IP address to authenticated mac addresses
[07:26] <chalcedony> Khisanth: Thank You :)
[07:26] <spargonaut> so I'm trying to clone the mac address of another machine from my firewall, but I'm not sure if i should do it in /etc/network/interfaces or dhclient.conf or somewhere else
[07:27] <spargonaut> btw, i'm running shorewall as a firewall
[07:28] <lolololol> is it possible to install ubuntu on a machine and then use it on some other one using the same hard disk?
[07:28] <spargonaut> yes
[07:28] <spargonaut> although you might have to reconfigure the xserver
[07:28] <Tensai_> bastidrazor - I created a link to a samba share in each users home directory - how do I let them write to it as well as read?
[07:29] <juninhu> hi there
[07:29] <lolololol> spargonaut: anything other than screen resolution to be changed?
[07:29] <spargonaut> ahem, lololololol, yes but you might have to reconfigure your xserver
[07:29] <juninhu> someone can help me to install Nvidia 7200GS?
[07:29] <spargonaut> uhh, not that i can think of off the top of my head
[07:29] <spargonaut> you might need to change the driver that your using
[07:29] <rob_p> spargonaut, You can spoof the authenticated MAC by adding a line such as, "hwaddress ether 01:02:03:04:05:06" to your network config.
[07:29] <spargonaut> rob, are you talking about in interfaces?
[07:29] <lolololol> spargonaut: k. thanks. byebye
[07:29] <spargonaut> or dhclient.conf
[07:30] <spargonaut> ?
[07:30] <rob_p> spargonaut, /etc/network/interfaces, yes.
[07:30] <spargonaut> ok
[07:30] <spargonaut> awesome
[07:30] <spargonaut> much thanks
[07:30] <FloodBot2> spargonaut: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:30] <juninhu> please... someone help me... my Nvidia 7200GS dont work in Ubuntu
[07:30] <bastidrazor> Tensai_, with samba i'm unsure how that would work.
[07:30] <lsemple_> Hi, I recently had a power failure, and one of my drives now is not able to mount, and when I try fsck /dev/sdb1 I get http://pastebin.ca/1461905
[07:30] <spargonaut> sorry.
[07:30] <rob_p> spargonaut, I had to do the same thing on a cable connection a while back...
[07:30] <rob_p> spargonaut, Never had any issues with it...
[07:31] <Tensai_> I created a link to a samba share in the home directory of an SFTP user but they don't have write access. Anybody know how I might do that?
[07:31] <bastidrazor> Tensai_, well.. the folder you've linked will have to allow each user write.. so the linked share will have to have 'everyone' allowed write access
[07:31] <Khisanth> chalcedony: hmm also just noticed but you don't have ident enabled ...
[07:31] <spargonaut> rob_j: yea.  I knew it needed to be done although i've never done it from my firewall, i always had my linksys router do it. my network has since beefed up
[07:31] <Khisanth> chalcedony: does your setup look something like http://miyu.hopto.org:7020/setup.png ?
[07:31] <Tensai_> ok thank you
[07:32] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i don't know why ident doesn't work .. my son said he's not going to look
[07:32] <spargonaut> will that work even though I'm using that interface with dhcp ( sorry for all the question, i have to kill my internet connection to implement it )
[07:32] <rob_p> spargonaut, Might as well utilize the power of Linux for your firewall.  Get rid of the Linksys... or put dd-wrt or tomato firmware on it (both Linux-based).
[07:32] <Khisanth> chalcedony: well there are two obvious reasons and a million not obvious
[07:32] <lsemple_> I guess I have a bad superblock, anyone know how to fix this ?
[07:33] <Khisanth> chalcedony: if you run 'ps | grep ident' does it print out anything?
[07:33] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i'll try that
[07:33] <pigol> i have lost my taskbar after upgrading to 9.04
[07:33] <rob_p> spargonaut, Hmmm... never tried it with dhcp.  But it couldn't hurt to try.
[07:33] <juninhu> =/
[07:33] <pigol> any suggestions ????
[07:33] <spargonaut> rob_j, yea, the linksys ( now running dd-wrt ) has been isolated to a seperate subnet in a dmz, i have shorewall running on a dedicated firewall atm
[07:33] <chalcedony> Khisanth: ~$ ps | grep ident
[07:33] <chalcedony> ~$
[07:34] <rob_p> spargonaut, I had a, "dynamic" IP but my provide never once changed the IP it issued so I just put it in as static and it worked that way for over a year.
[07:34] <bastidrazor> pigol, what version of ubuntu?
[07:34] <pigol> 9.04
[07:34] <gst-kaps> linkedin not working on ubuntu ?
[07:34] <bastidrazor> pigol, are you meaning the top and bottom panel on the screen?
[07:34] <pigol> bottom panel
[07:35] <pigol> actually i was using avant-manager in 8.04
[07:35] <spargonaut> rob_j: yea, thats what i've found to be the case in the past, but the first hop in my network was always the linksys in the past.  at this point, my network is too large and convoluted to go rearranging things
[07:35] <Khisanth> chalcedony: so you probably don't even have an ident daemon running ...
[07:35] <bastidrazor> pigol, click on the top panel and add panel .. then you can drag the panel tot he bottom and add things you want on that panel
[07:35] <rob_p> spargonaut, Just be ready to troubleshoot a sudden network outtage due to new IP reallocation if it happens.  I figured it was worth the relatively small chance.  Never did happen.
[07:35] <chalcedony> Khisanth: if he controls the firewall, is that something that would even be possible for me to rectifiy? we HAD it running
[07:35] <bastidrazor> pigol, cairo-dock may be a good replacement for AWN
[07:36] <Khisanth> chalcedony: well if it's not running the firewall won't matter
[07:36] <lampliter> I could use some help with disk performance issues on 8.10.  every time an application starts hitting the disk hard,  the laptop freezes and windows grey out
[07:36] <Khisanth> chalcedony: but if it IS running the firewall will also have to let it through
[07:36] <lampliter> the disk is sata and a modern one but this is weird
[07:37] <spargonaut> rob_p: yea, totally.  i've got a backup network in place atm to keep the waf high, so if there is a problem, i can easily switch back
[07:38] <spargonaut> rob_p: alright, i'm kicking off now, going to attempt the fix.  I'll report back progress immediatly after.  Thanks for the input
[07:38] <chalcedony> Khisanth: ty for telling me about it, it's something to look at after i figure out how to to connect better with the BNC maybe?
[07:38] <rob_p> spargonaut, Ok.  Good luck!
[07:38] <georgeofthejungl> what does "install a symbolic link onto the path" mean?
[07:40] <Khisanth> chalcedony: what error do you get when you try to connect to the BNC?
[07:41] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i'm on it now, but i can't get it to use the other names.
[07:41] <c0l2e> how can I modify the current /var/log/messages or system log to more details?
[07:41] <Khisanth> chalcedony: what do you mean by other names?
[07:42] <glicks> hmm on my eeepc in th elive cd i can connect to non secure networks but not secure networks
[07:42] <Khisanth> chalcedony: if you need to connect to the bouncer using multiple usernames then you would need to create multiple "networks" in the network list
[07:42] <c0l2e> is there a config in ubuntu that makes /var/log/messages more verbose?
[07:42] <chalcedony> oh?
[07:43] <chalcedony> i thought about doing that .. but the BNC is in the network list .. so how do i do that?
[07:43] <chalcedony> oops Khisanth
[07:43] <georgeofthejungl> what does "install a symbolic link onto the path" mean?
[07:44] <Khisanth> chalcedony: just click +Add in the Network List give it a name and just fill it in like the other one
[07:45] <chalcedony> Khisanth: and that's where i have my bug, stuff vanishes.
[07:46] <Khisanth> chalcedony: between restarts or ...?
[07:46] <chalcedony> Khisanth: thats why i do it in servilist_conf  but unless there are more lines i don't know the letters of.. i dont know how to alter the names there
[07:46] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i can't fill in the form
[07:46] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i put the data and it doesnt stay or if i click it's all gone
[07:47] <juninhu> someone can help me to install Nvidia 7200GS?
[07:47] <Khisanth> chalcedony: everything in the Edit window?
[07:47] <chalcedony> juninhu: you've been asking a while.. are there instructions somewhere?
[07:49] <Adola> Hi I need some one on one help with setting up a chroot32 for a program...Can someone PLEASE help?
[07:51] <georgeofthejungl> what does "install a symbolic link onto the path" mean?
[07:51] <georgeofthejungl> what does "install a symbolic link onto the path" mean?
[07:51] <spargonaut_> rob_p: still there:
[07:51] <spargonaut_> ?
[07:51] <rob_p> spargonaut_, Yes.
[07:51] <hot_wheelz> Just wondering if anyone has noticed a differece when it comes to  activating propriatary graphics card drivers under 8.10 and 9.04 - 8.10 this works fine 9.04 doeesn't it just falls over...Has anyone else noticed this?...I don't think it's just me because there appears to be a few threads about the issue
[07:51] <Publicity> http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=install+a+symbolic+link+onto+the+path&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&fp=JJ2lHziMUzc
[07:52] <chalcedony> Khisanth: everything i put in the edit box .. vanishes and does not show in the Connect window.
[07:52] <hot_wheelz> i think somthing may have been broken between versions this why it falls over
[07:52] <jeremy_> hello
[07:52] <jeremy_> hello
[07:52] <jeremy_> how do i determine what my ip address is
[07:52] <Adola> Hi I need some one on one help with setting up a chroot32 for a program...Can someone PLEASE help?
[07:52] <spargonaut_> well, apparently, i was able to get an IP address by adding in the line you suggested, although i was unable to get out
[07:52] <spargonaut_> jeremy: open a command line and type: ifconfig
[07:53] <jeremy_> thnx
[07:53] <gaveen> georgeofthejungl, that means creating a symbolic link to something in a place which is included in the $PATH variable Eg: in /bin, /usr/bin
[07:53] <chalcedony> jeremy_:  http://www.whatsmyip.org/
[07:53] <rob_p> spargonaut_, No traffic flow at all?
[07:53] <hot_wheelz> my card is an ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series like i said worked in 8.10 fine.....Even after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 it stayed activated but when I did a fresh install and tried activating it tries then falls over
[07:53] <gaveen> georgeofthejungl, the command to use is => ln -s
[07:53] <georgeofthejungl> gaveen: what is a symbolic link?
[07:54] <krupy> Hi, I have some problems with sound in 9.04
[07:54] <hot_wheelz> has there been a bug report abouut this?
[07:54] <spargonaut_> rob_p: I was able to ping the dhcp server, but not able to surf.  something tells me i wasn't getting my DNS addys right
[07:54] <spargonaut_> ahem, receiving them right
[07:54] <gaveen> georgeofthejungl, think of it as a shortcut in Windows world. There are two types of links in Unix. Hard and Soft (symbolic)
[07:54] <rob_p> spargonaut_, Put them in manually.
[07:54] <ramram> could some one help me remove the older version of Glib http://paste.debian.net/39239/ ??
[07:54] <rob_p> spargonaut_, /etc/resolv.conf
[07:55] <cwillu> what's the name of the current program for burning iso's?
[07:55] <Khisanth> chalcedony: http://scsys.co.uk:8001/29818 meaning of the letters
[07:55] <ccooke> Adola: you need a 32-bit chroot, yes?
[07:55] <spargonaut_> rob_p: ahh yea, i guess i could do that.  ok, before i disconnect again, do you have any other suggestions?  I think you know what my problem is and have been there before
[07:56] <georgeofthejungl> so it creats a short cut where?
[07:56] <Adola> ccooke: Yes!
[07:56] <bastidrazor> cwillu, brasero for gnome.. k3b for kde
[07:56] <Adola> ccooke: I'm trying to install XMBC on a 64 bit machine
[07:56] <cwillu> brasero, thanks
[07:56] <chalcedony> Khisanth: THANK YOU !! .. do we give up on the gui thing then?
[07:57] <chalcedony> Zaraphrax: nice nick .. i like Zs
[07:57] <spargonaut_> rob_p: alright, i'll brb
[07:57] <Khisanth> chalcedony: meh the GUI thing sounds too weird
[07:57] <rob_p> spargonaut_, Nope.  Just take it one step at a time.
[07:57] <gaveen> georgeofthejungl, wherever you specify. According to what you said you need to create a symlink to something inside your path
[07:57] <Khisanth> chalcedony: I can't think of any reason for that
[07:57] <ccooke> Adola: right. I've not used that myself, but I can show you how to build the chroot easily
[07:57] <Khisanth> chalcedony: you can ignore the D, should just be 0
[07:57] <georgeofthejungl> gaveen: i have no idea what you're talking about
[07:57] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i know, it shouldnt be that way . it just IS .. it always has been weird
[07:57] <Adola> ccooke: Can we do this in a P.M. please?
[07:57] <Adola> As to make it less confusing?
[07:58] <Khisanth> chalcedony: for F just add up the options hyou want
[07:58] <rikki_max> anyone having problems with firefox on intrepid i.e. goes full screen after maximise and looses its border ext.
[07:58] <gaveen> georgeofthejungl, :) you said "what does "install a symbolic link onto the path" mean?" So what are you actually trying to do?
[07:58] <chalcedony> Khisanth: is a bouncer a proxy ?
[07:59] <ccooke> Adola: sure, check your queries.
[07:59] <Khisanth> chalcedony: similar but no
[07:59] <Lartza_> Is there any other bittorrent client than transmission? It doesn't have max active torrents setting. I would need one that is lightweight and has some kind of schedule
[07:59] <krupy> sound in apps and media players is ok, but in some games: warzone, supertux2,supertuxkart, openarena, but in enemy teritorry and urban terror it is all right
[07:59] <cwillu> Lartza_, I use deluge
[07:59] <Khisanth> chalcedony: but it doesn't really matter unless you have something set in Settings->Preferences->Proxy Server
[08:00] <georgeofthejungl> gaveen: im installing google earth, and it has a check box for "install a symbolic link onto the path" and then there is a text box preceded by "Binary path:".
[08:00] <Lartza_> deluge is good, it has been buggy for me though, but ill try that if there is nothing new
[08:00] <chalcedony> Khisanth: ok so that doesn't matter.  . so i need a separate entry with the psybncys' ip for each username and then tell the psybnc which serever:ip  ?
[08:00] <Lartza_> deluge last tried 0.8.x
[08:00] <bastidrazor> !torrent
[08:01] <darkdelusions> Silly Questions I have my ubuntu media server setup to auto login and for boxee to auto start is there a way to configure gnome key ring to no prompt me for a the keyring password so wireless auto signs in
[08:01] <Khisanth> chalcedony: yes
[08:01] <chalcedony> Khisanth: ok that makes sense now :)
[08:01] <Khisanth> chalcedony: so the I, i, and U lines will be different but the S lines will be the same
[08:01] <chalcedony> i really appreciate your taking the time to do this :)
[08:02] <chalcedony> Khisanth: ok :)
[08:02] <chalcedony> er no
[08:02] <Khisanth> also ... talking about it this way is much easier than talking about a GUI -_-
[08:02] <chalcedony> YES IT IS!!
[08:02] <chalcedony> but no
[08:02] <Khisanth> no to what?
[08:02] <georgeofthejungl> gaveen: im installing google earth, and it has a check box for "install a symbolic link onto the path" and then there is a text box preceded by "Binary path:".
[08:02] <gaveen> georgeofthejungl, better to tick that. Which means you'll be able to launch google earth from a terminal also after the installation. Try /usr/local/bin as the binary path
[08:02] <chalcedony> the S line is the BNC - always the same ip
[08:02] <cwillu> darkdelusions, system | preferences | encryption and keyrings has the option I believe
[08:03] <cwillu> darkdelusions, actually, that might be wrong
[08:03] <Khisanth> chalcedony: that is what I said :P
[08:03] <Khisanth> "S lines will be the same"
[08:03] <chalcedony> Khisanth: you're right - i read it backwards
[08:04] <cwillu> darkdelusions, might be as simple as editing the connection (right click the network applet) and selecting 'available to all users'
[08:04] <cactusfrog> hi
[08:04] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i think i can fool with it from here . i hope so anyway :) thanks a lot !
[08:05] <cactusfrog> anyways i installed ubuntu inside windows something that i have done before on this computer
[08:05] <cactusfrog> but i don't get that menue while booting up
[08:05] <Khisanth> chalcedony: well remember you need to save the while while xchat is NOT running
[08:05] <cactusfrog> the one that asks me to select my os
[08:05] <darkdelusions> cwillu: Cool I didnt see that option let me go try that :)
[08:06] <chalcedony> Khisanth: i guess ill copy them somewhere and put it all back next time i resteart then :)
[08:06] <ideamonk> I'm connected to a proxy for internet via a wired medium and i want to share internet through wireless sharing on other laptop. How can i do so ?
[08:06] <darkdelusions> cwillu: everything I seem to find refers to setting up pam
[08:06] <Khisanth> chalcedony: and that first "while" should have been "file"
[08:06] <limpc> has anyone had any success using Metisse on ubuntu jaunty?
[08:06] <chalcedony> Khisanth: ok
[08:07] <chalcedony> it lets you force .. is that bad?
[08:07] <cactusfrog> anyways i installed ubuntu inside windows something that i have done before on this computer but i don't get that menue while booting up. the one that asks me to select my os.
[08:07] <cactusfrog> How do i fix it
[08:07] <ideamonk> I created an ad-hoc network .. i'm connected to the innternet and the other computer is connected to me via wireless, i suppose this will do internet sharing ?
[08:07] <chalcedony> cactusfrog: i can see why that could be a problem (no idea what to tell you but i  appreciate your situation)
[08:08] <cactusfrog> chalcedony: :S
[08:08] <spargonaut> rob_p: back, and i think i figured out my problem
[08:08] <rob_p> spargonaut, Do tell...
[08:09] <spargonaut> rob_p: I'm able to get out and resolve hostnames from my firewall, although, since its also running a dhcp server, its not forwarding on the DNS servers
[08:09] <darkdelusions> cwillu: that was way to simple no wonder i couldnt find the the option.... It was so simple it kinda makes me sick :)
[08:09] <rob_p> spargonaut, Install dnsmasq and you'll be set.
[08:09] <limpc> cactusfrog: http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1162662.htm
[08:09] <cwillu> darkdelusions, :)
[08:10] <ramram> Khisanth, hello
[08:10] <cactusfrog> limpc:  thanks all check it out
[08:10] <rob_p> spargonaut, dnsmasq is a dhcp server and DNS proxy for your internal hosts.
[08:10] <rob_p> spargonaut, ...just in case you weren't familiar with it.
[08:10] <spargonaut> dnsmasq huh?  I might have to look into that.  I had it forwarding them at one point, but I can't remember where i configured it to do so.
[08:10] <suokko> Is there anything that I should do about launchpad failing when I try to report bug with ubuntu-bug tool? I'm using Karmic. Launcpad gives error: Oops! Something just went wrong in launcpad. ...
[08:11] <suokko> Extra problem is that I'm reporting bug that causes my USB support death in boot so I don't have mouse :(
[08:11] <limpc> has anyone had any success using Metisse on ubuntu jaunty?
[08:11] <rob_p> spargonaut, I use it on my VPN servers so that clients coming in on the VPN can use the server as a namserver as well.
[08:11] <tv7497> guys i am trying to set up a mail server i just got stuck up a little help please i run jaunty on a 64bit machine
[08:12] <ideamonk> How can i share internet connection on wireless networks?
[08:12] <spargonaut> rob_p: nah, i'm sure not.  I'm running dhcp3-server atm, and honestly, its not even an ubuntu system, its straight debian. :D  The desktop i'm working on is ubuntu ( myth )  and this is the first channel the IRC client I just installed kicked me into.  I figured it would work
[08:12] <carlou> bonjour
[08:12] <medjr> can i make my ubuntu an internet wifi gateway ?
[08:13] <rob_p> spargonaut, You can use iptables to configure forwarding of DNS but it's probably easier to just use dnsmasq.  It does a really good job of handling both dhcp and DNS.
[08:13] <rish> how to change wordpress version on my website?
[08:13] <rob_p> spargonaut, I used to use dhcp3-server too... did away with it when I discovered dnsmasq.
[08:14] <moochoo> Hey all - is anybody intelligent available to help me get a Jaunty install playing nice across the LAN with XP?
[08:14] <WBC> I am having a hardtime trying to get Gparted to format my external harddrive as NTFS
[08:14] <spargonaut> rob_p, the unfortunate part about that though, is that i've got several hosts assigned static IPs through dhcp-server, mainly b/c i don't have a local dns machine
[08:14] <WBC> Could anyone help
[08:15] <medjr> can i make my ubuntu an internet wifi gateway ??? :(
[08:15] <rob_p> spargonaut, From a server perspective, there's not too much difference with Debian, especially since Ubuntu is a Debian-derivative.
[08:15] <rob_p> spargonaut, dnsmasq can be configured to hand out specific IPs based on end-user MAC addresses.
[08:15] <spargonaut> rob_p: yea, I know, thats why I'm here. :D.  actually, most of the *nix machines I run are debian
[08:16] <rob_p> spargonaut, You ought to at least look into it...
[08:16] <spargonaut> rob_P: i know, i know, i just don't want to have to reconfigure it again.  <-- LAZY
[08:16] <suokko> medjr: Google for NAT routing with iptables
[08:16] <spargonaut> rob_p: but yea, i'm def gonna look into it
[08:17] <suokko> medjr: Probably what you are looking for
[08:17] <rob_p> spargonaut, I think it'll server your purposes at least as well (probably better).
[08:17] <spargonaut> WBC: use windows
[08:17] <rob_p> spargonaut, *serve*
[08:17] <moochoo> Is anybody available to help me get a Jaunty install playing nice across the LAN with XP?
[08:17] <spargonaut> rob_p: oh, i'm sure it will.  you're just hell bent on me installing it aren't you?
[08:18] <spargonaut> rob_p: btw, thanks for all the help, i appreciate it
[08:18] <WBC> spargonaut, unable to use windows to format it, when windows is trying to format it through the XP CD it says: blablabla now trying to format, however this disk does not contain a windows xp-compatible partition
[08:18] <rob_p> spargonaut, Nope!  You can do as you see fit.  Just nudging you in the, "right" direction...
[08:18] <rob_p> spargonaut, np
[08:18] <rob_p> spargonaut, good luck.
[08:19] <spargonaut> WBC: sorry, i'm unfamiliar with the error blablabla.  have you tried fdisk from the command line?
[08:19] <WBC> spargonaut, no, how to
[08:20] <limpc> has anyone had any success using Metisse on ubuntu jaunty? all the links to installing/using Metisse on ubuntu are dead.
[08:20] <WBC> spargonaut, the disk is /dev/sdb
[08:20] <ramram> I want to install gtk 2.16, and since its not availabe in debs so have to build from source, i've installed Glib 2.19.10 since it's a dependency but i've still have the older version of Glib still lingering around the system, how to remove that??
[08:20] <ramram> paste of ./configure of gtk 2.16 http://paste.debian.net/39239/
[08:20] <spargonaut> WBC: man fdisk
[08:21] <ectospasm> ramram: good luck, a lot of the packages on your system depend on glibc
[08:21] <ectospasm> ramram: you cannot change it lightly
[08:21] <WBC> spargonaut, Would you please write what I exactly have to type in if I want to format /dev/sdb as NTFS?
[08:21] <moochoo> Anybody able to help me find out why I'm getting the error [Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server] every time I try and access my local network? Fresh install 9.04
[08:22] <Neconide> What handles sound in Ubuntu
[08:22] <Neconide> rhythmbox?
[08:22] <ramram> ectospasm, so in short i cant upgrade to gtk 2.16
[08:22] <rob_p> WBC, Why NTFS?
[08:22] <WBC> rob_p, going to install windows XP on it
[08:22] <ectospasm> Neconide: what do you mean "sound"?  pulseaudio does most of the sound on a stock system.
[08:22] <Neconide> because sometimes flash will freeze, and loop an annoying half second of a sound over and over.
[08:22] <tv7497> guys do anyone one here runs a mail server ?
[08:22] <rob_p> WBC, Then just let the Windows installer take care of it.
[08:23] <ectospasm> Neconide: that's probably pulseaudio
[08:23] <Neconide> ectospasm: is there a way to reset it from terminal without rebooting
[08:23] <WBC> rob_p, check what I wrote above: unable to use windows to format it, when windows is trying to format it through the XP CD it says: blablabla now trying to format, however this disk does not contain a windows xp-compatible partition
[08:23] <Neconide> or disable/renable etc
[08:23] <ectospasm> Neconide: try this as your user (not root):  ps -ef | grep pulseaudio
[08:23] <klem> hi
[08:23] <Hoss> looking for a command to check default audio device.  asoundconf isnt doing the trick.
[08:23] <ectospasm> Neconide: find the running process, and kill it
[08:23] <rob_p> WBC, Use fdisk to remove the existing partitions and try again.
[08:24] <ectospasm> Hoss: try padevchooser
[08:24] <spargonaut> WBC: *sigh*  open a command line, type: 'fdisk /dev/sdb' and read the menu options to figure out what you need to do.  sorry, you'll need to be a big boy for this part.  partition your disk, and give it the ID for NTFS.  then use the command: mkfs to create the filesystem. you will need more flags and arguments to format it correctly.  try: man mkfs and work on some of your reading skills
[08:24] <Neconide> ectospasm: neconide  6344  6341  0 Jun13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper
[08:24] <Neconide> ectospasm: (there's more than that) but which one is the PID
[08:25] <spargonaut> WBC: sorry, without reading the man pages myself, thats all I can think of off the top of my head.  And if I can read the man pages, so can you
[08:25] <ectospasm> Neconide: look for this line:  /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start
[08:25] <Hoss> ectospasm: padevchooser says it isnt installed.  Isnt there an audio mixer like in windows?
[08:25] <Neconide> ectospasm: not there
[08:25] <ectospasm> spargonaut: watch out, I've been chided in here for spouting RTFM
[08:25] <moochoo> Anybody able to help me find out why I'm getting the error [Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server] every time I try and access my local network? Fresh install 9.04
[08:26] <ideamonk> How can i share internet connection on wireless networks? , the internet connection is a wired one via proxy.
[08:26] <ectospasm> moochoo: do you need to set up a WINS server for your network (or rather, is one already set up)?
[08:26] <Neconide> ectospasm: neconide@infected:~$ ps -ef | grep pulseaudio                          neconide  6341     1  1 Jun13 ?        00:48:25 /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D --log-target=syslog                    neconide  6344  6341  0 Jun13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper            neconide  9233  9198  0 03:24 pts/2    00:00:00 grep pulseaudio             neconide@infected:~$
[08:26] <ectospasm> Neconide: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:26] <Neconide> ectospasm: 8.10
[08:26] <ectospasm> that pulseaudio -D one is the one you want.
[08:27] <ectospasm> Neconide: Aha!
[08:27] <ectospasm> Upgrade to 9.04
[08:27] <openros> When i connect in to a VPN network, my internet in the local network goes down. Is there any way to be both in the VPN connection and have internet
[08:27] <ectospasm> I haven't had that short loop problem since I upgraded.
[08:27] <Neconide> ectospasm: I suppose I might
[08:27] <moochoo> ectospasm: not sure, in trying to figure it out I have installed and configured Samba, and setup an xp box to use WINS, all to no avail :(
[08:27] <Neconide> ectospasm: you have an x86 processor?
[08:27] <Neconide> ectospasm: because ive been having TONS of bugs due to my amd
[08:27] <ectospasm> Neconide: x86_64, but in 8.10 I was running i386
[08:28] <ectospasm> Neconide: what sorts of bugs?
[08:28] <Neconide> ectospasm: when upgrading does it just update the sys files or does it need to reconstruct the OS -- wiping all data?
[08:28] <rob_p> openros, You shouldn't lose coms with your local subnet, even if a new default route is pushed to you from the VPN server.  If you are, then something is misconfigured.
[08:28] <ectospasm> Neconide: that depends
[08:28] <Neconide> ectospasm: random terminal/firefox/pidgin bugs
[08:28] <ectospasm> Neconide: does your data and all other software exist on one partition?
[08:28] <spargonaut> ectospasm: thanks for the warning.  I just didn't want to hose the kids setup by " please write what I exactly have to type in if"
[08:29] <Hoss> ectospasm:  after installing Padevchooser, how do I set my default audio device?
[08:29] <Neconide> ectospasm: I have winblowsXP and ubuntu 8.10 on the same partition
[08:29] <ectospasm> spargonaut: yeah, I hear you
[08:29] <ectospasm> Neconide: wubi?
[08:29] <ectospasm> Hoss: it's in the chooser, choose volume control
[08:29] <openros> rob_p, as soon as i connect to the VPN, i have access only to the VPN network. My internet in the local network is cut.
[08:29] <Neconide> ectospasm: yep
[08:30] <ectospasm> ah
[08:30] <Neconide> ectospasm: was having trouble switching bootup to cdrom
[08:30] <ectospasm> Neconide: well, then...  I don't know how to help you except maybe move all your data to another device, then wipe and reinstall
[08:30] <Hoss> ectospasm:  I am getting a connectio failed: connection refused, when I run the volume control.
[08:30] <tv7497> guys what would be a domain name in general in a jaunty desktop edition ?
[08:31] <stealth-> that message thats played on a new bash prompt, but what file controls that?
[08:31] <ectospasm> Hoss: restart pulse audio (/etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart)
[08:31] <ectospasm> stealth-: /etc/motd
[08:31] <stealth-> ectospasm: thanks
[08:31] <FeasibilityStudy> ::hates pulseaudio::
[08:31] <Neconide> ectospasm: well I'd love to do that but I'm too lazy. Is it possible to create a _new_ partition within ubuntu? I want to install slackware
[08:31] <moochoo> ectospasm: I am able to smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/ and view the shared files on the xp box...
[08:31] <Neconide> ectospasm: I have more than enough HDD space to hold it
[08:31] <rob_p> openros, Well, sometimes that is a constraint purposely put in place by the admin for security reasons.  Did you build the VPN server or do you admin it?
[08:32] <ectospasm> Neconide: not unless you have a chunk of free space
[08:32] <ectospasm> Neconide: so make another wubi part, and go!
[08:32] <openros> rob_p, my admin did it.
[08:32] <Neconide> ectospasm: Well I have 700GB free in this partition, would 'Unallocated' be free HDD space or is that a partition within itself
[08:33] <ectospasm> unallocated to any existing partition.
[08:33] <thurein> ubuntu 9.04 , compaq cq 45, sound driver doesnt work. any solution??
[08:33] <Hoss> ectospasm: is it bad that pulseaudio isnt installed?  I am installing it atm, I just remember there being some issues with having it.
[08:33] <ectospasm> Now, gparted can probably resize it, but I don't know how well that will work with wubi
[08:33] <scarra> So is it possible to use a zune with ubuntu
[08:33] <openros> rob_p, can i create a virtual connection like, which uses the local network, and the browsers to use that virtual conneciton
[08:33] <rob_p> openros, My first comment applies to a, "generic install" of say, OpenVPN.  Unless you take extra steps to further lock things down, you should continue to have access.
[08:33] <ectospasm> Hoss: pulseaudio is the default in Ubuntu since at least 8.10
[08:34] <MBR> How do i install GRUB?
[08:34] <ectospasm> Hoss: AFAIK you have to consciously remove it not to use it.
[08:34] <ectospasm> funny name, asking a question like that MBR
[08:34] <lich0r> good night guys, may all of your questions be answered :p
[08:34] <Neconide> ectospasm: gparted doesn't allow the creation of new partitions, only partition tables.
[08:34] <rob_p> openros, But really, there are so many ways to configure and limit the end user's access when it comes to VPN.
[08:34] <ectospasm> Is there a dog?
[08:34] <ectospasm> Neconide: explain to me the difference.
[08:35] <moochoo> anybody with any ubuntu-->xp networking experience available to help?
[08:35] <Neconide> ectospasm: A partition table is your table of partitions.   I got rid of them, and no sound.
[08:35] <Adola> I'm installing deboostrap, can someone help me install some stuff with it?
[08:35] <thurein> I get sound problem on ubuntu 9.04 with compaq CQ 45
[08:35] <MBR> Does anyone knwo how to uninstall linux along with grub and return to windows without formatting anything?
[08:35] <openros> rob_p, if i disconnect from the vpn, i have a perfect internet access. It means my internet is always available....
[08:35] <ectospasm> Neconide: and how do you add partitions?  By editing the partition table!
[08:35] <thurein> any way to solve it??
[08:35] <ectospasm> thurein: be more specific as to what your sound problem is
[08:35] <Neconide> ectospasm: right but gparted only lets you create _new_ partition tables
[08:35] <rob_p> openros, With out knowing the VPN server configuration, you will have to get with your admin for assistance.  All we can do is guess...
[08:36] <kj4> MBR  boot the XP disk and do the fixmbr command
[08:36] <Hoss> ectospasm:  going to try a restart.
[08:36]  * moochoo raises hand - "pick me! pick me!"
[08:36] <ectospasm> Neconide: gparted *should* allow you to resize partitions, IIRC
[08:36] <thurein> ectospasm: i am totally beginner, so how to specify my sound card??
[08:36] <MBR> kj4: problem is i dont have a disk :(
[08:36] <Neconide> ectospasm: it's a relatively easy task in windows vista but seems to be just as hard in winXP as it is in Ubuntu
[08:36] <kj4> MBR or you can dowload the super grub disk and it can repair the xp mbr too
[08:36] <MBR> and im on vista.
[08:36] <ectospasm> thurein: I dunno, mine *just works*!
[08:36] <rob_p> openros, Also, what software are you utilizing for the VPN (both server and client)?
[08:36] <MBR> It doesnt work for some reason
[08:37] <kj4> MBR i thinks the super grub disk can fix dat
[08:37] <MBR> super grub doesnt work...
[08:37] <Neconide> ectospasm: resize, but not create. I don't have any partitions that aren't in use
[08:37] <kj4> MBR oh.  ok.
[08:37] <Lartza_> Ok, so I still need an torrent client
[08:37] <ectospasm> ah, that's right, they have to be unmounted
[08:37] <Lartza_> transmission and deluge dont fit
[08:37] <kj4> MBR i have a recommendation
[08:37] <ectospasm> Neconide: so boot the LiveCD and use gparted from that
[08:37] <Lartza_> transmission cant limit active torrents and deluge cant schedlue
[08:37] <MBR> kj4: yes?
[08:37] <Lartza_> *schedule
[08:37] <ectospasm> Neconide: make sure you back up all your data BEFORE doing any of this!
[08:37]  * moochoo starts to cry
[08:38] <kj4> MBR you sure you want to hear it?
[08:38] <MBR> kj4: yes.
[08:38] <thurein> ectospasm: from internet, i have to know it is HDA ICH9
[08:38] <Lartza_> and lightweight torrent client
[08:38] <Neconide> ectospasm: I don't think you're getting it. gparted doesn't allow you to in any way -create a new partition- / and none of the partitions i have aren't in literal use
[08:38] <ectospasm> moochoo: are you positive you're supplying the SMB/CIFS credentials properly?
[08:38] <ectospasm> Neconide: I didn't think that was your problem
[08:38] <kj4> MBR don't run vista.  vista is awful.  there. i said it.  we were all thinking it, but only I had the guts to say it
[08:38] <moochoo> ectospasm, any way I can find out for sure?
[08:38] <Neconide> ectospasm: I need to create a new partition. lol
[08:38] <ectospasm> moochoo: smbclient --help
[08:39] <ectospasm> moochoo: then smbclient -L <share>, and enter the password you *think* it should be using.
[08:39] <MBR> kj4: i guess that's your opinion.
[08:39] <innociv> er so how do I set up a new user that is limited to a folder say /home/site/public/folder, and doesn't even have read access to anything before that folder?
[08:39] <ectospasm> Neconide: you need to resize the existing ones first, no?
[08:39] <MBR> anyway is there a way to remove grub anyone?
[08:39] <Neconide> ectospasm: O/T, you're quite the multi-tasker, you seem to be helping a handful of people. lol
[08:40] <MBR> Googled for 3 days and nothing -.-
[08:40] <ectospasm> innociv: that's gonna be hard
[08:40] <Neconide> ectospasm: right but I have more than enough memory in Unallocated to support an operating system
[08:40] <scarra> So is there anyway possible to use the zune on Ubuntu
[08:40] <innociv> ectospasm, really?..
[08:40] <Neconide> ectospasm: the only problem is creating a new partition
[08:40] <ectospasm> Neconide: so use your tool of choice, fdisk, cfdisk (prolly easier), etc.
[08:40] <Titan8990> innociv, http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/
[08:40] <Neconide> ectospasm: alright I'll read up on cfdisk. thanks :D
[08:40] <ectospasm> innociv: if a user does not have access to /home, they will not have access to /home/user
[08:40] <spargonaut> rob_p:  quick question about dnsmasq, it says it provides a dns server for the LAN, but I'm curious if it enables the use of hostnames from other clients on the LAN.  do you know?
[08:40] <Titan8990> innociv, chroot jail is really only way, what you are trying to do is not practical however
[08:40] <innociv> oh
[08:41] <innociv> jailkit will keep them from READING files too?
[08:41] <Adola> I need help with chroot
[08:41] <Adola> Please
[08:41] <rob_p> spargonaut, gotta run for a bit...
[08:41] <Joschi> hi
[08:42] <ectospasm> innociv: you've gotta keep enough operating environment in the chroot
[08:42] <spargonaut> rob_p: k. in any case, thanks for the help, i'll do some more looking into dnsmasq, thanks for the point in the right direction
[08:42] <innociv> ?
[08:42] <moochoo> ectospasm, Anonymous Login Successful...

[08:42] <moochoo> ectospasm, yeah
[08:42] <kj4> MBR  are you familiar with the WAIK package from MS?
[08:43] <ectospasm> OK, then what /etc/fstab (or whatever) has listed for the credentials is probably wrong.

[08:44] <randall> glick, what is your question
[08:44] <Adola> randall, can you help me with a 32bit chroot in a 64bit os?
[08:44] <ectospasm> randall: maybe they're in here to help out?
[08:44] <moochoo> ectospasm,  yeah lol neither, im just trying to get my linux box to share my drives with my mrs, who's running xp
[08:45] <glick> randall, trying to see if anyone has any first hand experience running ubuntu on a 1000he eee
[08:45] <randall> ectospasm, true dat haha
[08:45] <randall> Adola, never played around with 64bit sorry
[08:45] <ectospasm> heh, even back when I was a Windows weenie SMB networking was the blackest voodoo magic when you didn't have a domain controller
[08:45] <randall> glick, is that one of the eeepcs?
[08:45] <ectospasm> ...if the Gods deemed you unfit to have network sharing, you don't got it.
[08:46] <glick> yes randall
[08:46] <moochoo> *sniff*
[08:46] <jumpingjack> glick, i have it on my eeepc 1000h :P
[08:46] <randall> glick, i think they make a specific ubuntu sub-version for those
[08:46] <ectospasm> moochoo: you can set up a domain controller
[08:46] <ectospasm> ...on  your Ubuntu PC
[08:46] <glick> jumpingjack, the regular ubuntu or netbook remix
[08:46] <glick> ?

[08:47] <moochoo> ectospasm, frustrating the *HELL* out of me
