[07:26] <jrib> !anyone | jiffer
[07:26] <ubotu> jiffer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:26] <jiffer> i got a error
[07:26] <zYe_> how can i change my root password?
[07:26] <jrib> !root > zYe_ (see the private message from ubotu)

[07:26] <gravemind> redcard: so, what do I do with this .deb file? just double click it?
[07:26] <Wisdom07> redacrd i used it but it doesnt work!
[07:26] <Azhi_Dahaka> How can i recover anything?
[07:26] <snail_> jiffer, not to be mean but read this http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html
[07:26] <jiffer> does anyone know about errors
[07:26] <tommy__> bahnhof: That section only holds three parameters, Identifier, driver and busID
[07:26] <redcard> The CVS Mplayer one.. just right click on it.
[07:26] <tommy__> Bussid is right according to lspci
[07:26] <jrib> jiffer: be specific and state your problem on a single line please
[07:26] <getoo> where is .gaim in pidgin ?  i am trying to erase all the users and saved passwords  , but theres no dir to be seen
[07:26] <gravemind> yeah that's the one I'm downloading
[07:26] <getoo> i meant pidgin
[07:26] <redcard> gravemind: It should say something like "Install with GDebi" or something
[07:27] <bahnhof> tommy__: what is the Driver entry?
[07:27] <tommy__> via
[07:27] <Noda> Hello
[07:27] <snail_> getoo, i dont know but ive heard somthing like .purple
[07:27] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: what do you want to recover?
[07:27] <redcard> gravemind: THen the Installer will pick up any extra stuff you need, and you should be good to go
[07:27] <getoo> snail_: thanx
[07:27] <getoo> that dir is there
[07:27] <getoo> thank u
[07:27] <nekyinboots> Sorry bounced.... Do I install Kbuntu desktop or just Kde?
[07:27] <snail_> =)
[07:27] <irbdavid> how do I install a bootloader from the livecd?  i need to put one on my windows harddrive, and the installer didnt do that it appears
[07:27] <snail_> getoo, glad to help
[07:27] <Azhi_Dahaka> my session
[07:27] <bahnhof> tommy__: and does the identifier appear in the corresponding Section "Screen"?
[07:27] <Noda>  Could anyone help me with a slight issue?
[07:27] <Noda>  I want to install ubuntu studio so it shows up as an option on the ubuntu login screen
[07:27] <Noda>  Can I do that?
[07:27] <gravemind> redcard: oh, ok. I downloaded it instead of install with GDebi. I'll just open it when it's done
[07:27] <jrib> nekyinboots: kubuntu-desktop will give you a setup just like kubuntu users get (so you'll have the kde programs to go along with your kde desktop)
[07:27] <Azhi_Dahaka> i wanted to switch to test kde but now i have a black screen

[07:28] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: what did you do right before you got the black screen?
[07:29] <redcard> asdf: Probably it'd be best to get a two or more button mouse, tbh
[07:29] <gravemind> redcard: ah ok. It's telling me that it conflicts with package "mplayer" so I just uninstall that from synaptic I guess

[07:29] <tommy__> bahnhof: the Screen.Device == Device.Identifier
[07:29] <radioaktivstorm> nekyinboots....depends, kubuntu-desktop has abunch of apps packaged with kubuntu, and the kde-core....well its the core. so its got less extras with it :) hope that helps
[07:29] <asdf> redcard: that's not an option
[07:29] <irbdavid> thanks
[07:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> the one on the poweroff menu
[07:29] <redcard> asdf: Then I don't know if we can help you there.

[07:30] <nekyinboots> How can I install kubuntu-desktop from the terminal window?
[07:30] <Aerotwelve1> Hey everyone, I tried to install these drivers http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/#downloads for my wireless card and running make gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23753/, any thoughts?
[07:30] <redcard> asdf: It might be holding down control and clicking.
[07:30] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: hit ctrl-alt-f1 and enter 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart'  (or kdm if you switched to that)
[07:30] <jiffer> how do i uninstall this OS
[07:30] <docta_v> is there an easy way to disable an lvs node or do you have to delete it/add it
[07:30] <wols> nekyinboots: with apt-get
[07:30] <tommy__> bahnhof: Thanks anyway!
[07:30] <LjL> nekyinboots:  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:30] <asdf> redcard: that doesn't do anything
[07:30] <jiffer> anyone know how to UNINSTALL THIS OS
[07:30] <wols> jiffer: you overwrite grub in the MBR and delete the partition
[07:30] <Azhi_Dahaka> ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing
[07:30] <sibot> woah
[07:30] <welshchris> !root
[07:30] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[07:30] <shiryu> anyone knows how to allow azureus in ubuntus firewall?
[07:30] <sibot> im already in the ubuntu channel
[07:30] <jiffer> how do i do that
[07:30] <gumbers> thx jrib, I found it.

[07:31] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: hmm so it's really stuck...  ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work either?
[07:31] <sibot> and i was joining it :P
[07:31] <sibot> i am in the ubuntu channel right :S?
[07:31] <Azhi_Dahaka> nope
[07:31] <DBO> rubydo, lets find a solution now =)
[07:31] <snail_> jiffer, in windows right click on my computer , goto manage , then like disk utilities , and from there you should be able to format partitions
[07:31] <LjL> sibot: yes
[07:31] <cello_rasp> hi. does ubuntu-studio have a good fruityloops analog yet?
[07:31] <LjL> snail_: that will leave him with a broken bootloader however
[07:31] <jiffer> ok so i have to b e in windows to do it
[07:31] <jiffer> ?
[07:31] <Noda> Guys, can I install UbuntuStudio so that I can choose it from the Ubuntu login screen/
[07:31] <lockd> jiffer: you install another OS over it
[07:31] <snail_> jiffer, hold on
[07:31] <wols> jiffer: yes
[07:31] <nekyinboots> I am downloading it now
[07:31] <nekyinboots> Great big thanks

[07:32] <A[D] minS> what i should do ?
[07:32] <astomper> jiffer, you don't want to get rid of ubuntu
[07:33] <LjL> !paste > A[D] minS    (A[D] minS, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:33] <cello_rasp> i need a softsynth sequencer, does stuid have one?
[07:33] <Noda> Err, and how do I add kernels, wols?
[07:33] <A[D] minS> LjL: less than 4 lines
[07:33] <jiffer> i want to get grid of ubuntu
[07:33] <redcard> gravemind: No.. it shouldn't.. try using the Debian file off the DeVeDe website for DeVeDe
[07:33] <LjL> A[D] minS: that's never been a rule.
[07:33] <DBO> rubydo, are you using ndiswrapper?
[07:33] <wols> Noda: man menu.lst it's a text file
[07:33] <martyska> hey
[07:33] <jiffer> i want it totaly removed from my hdd
[07:33] <redcard> jiffer: Then you need to install another OS over the top of it.
[07:33] <LjL> jiffer: install and run "ms-sys", then format the Ubuntu partition from Windows. you've been told this already however.
[07:33] <wols> jiffer: I told you how
[07:33] <wols> redcard: no
[07:33] <Noda> thanks wols
[07:33] <A[D] minS> LjL: as far as i know more than 5 lines use pastebin
[07:34] <martyska> you say in englisch
[07:34] <Subman> omg... all this work jsut install WINE
[07:34] <jiffer> ok
[07:34] <jiffer> Peace out everyone
[07:34] <rubydo> DBO: I'm pretty sure I'm using bcm43xxx but I may still have ndiswrapper installed - let me check...
[07:34] <gravemind> redcard: the devede download they have isn't .deb, it's tar.bz2
[07:34] <jiffer> catch ya on the flip
[07:34] <redcard> gravemind: Hmm..
[07:34] <LjL> A[D] minS: well, you know wrongly... next time you'll keep it in mind.
[07:34] <DBO> rubydo, "smod | grep ndiswrapper"will let you know
[07:34] <martyska> o co chodzi??
[07:34] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: that should reboot your computer a little more safely than just hitting reset on your case
[07:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> Welll... that did nothing
[07:34] <Aerotwelve1> Hi everyone, I'm trying to install some wireless card drivers, and they say to run "make". When I try to run it, I get this message: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23753/ How do I resolve this? Thanks.
[07:34] <shiryu> #azureus
[07:35] <redcard> gravemind: I don't know what to suggest, honestly, at this point.  I thought you can force the DeVeDe to install.  Does anyone else here know how to force a package to install?
[07:35] <DBO> rubydo, "lsmod | grep ndiswrapper" will let you know  (sorry, typo last time)
[07:35] <asdf> anyone know how to remap "right-click" to F12?

[07:36] <Gazoo> can anyone help me get wireless working with the live cd
[07:36] <wols> Gazoo: most wlans need firmware which is non-free. so I doubt it
[07:36] <shiryu> anyone can help me?
[07:36] <rubydo> DBO: Did the lsmod, nothing returned, so I don't have ndiswrapper. I do have bcm43xx though: http://pastie.caboo.se/67262
[07:36] <LjL> shiryu: ubuntu doesn't have a firewall.
[07:36] <Gazoo> what
[07:36] <snail_> one more time.... I have followed the ubuntu guide for using ndiswrapper to get a working wifi card, and have not been able to connect either because the iwlist scan doesn't turn up anything (despite being arms reach away) or because after i set the ESSID , doing iwconfig shows only the first charactor in the essid slot , does anyone has a decent tutorial/guid to troublshooting my wireless issue
[07:36] <nekyinboots> Gazoo, I couldn't get my wireless card working without a install
[07:36] <Azhi_Dahaka> any ideas to find out why it did get stuck?
[07:36] <wols> shiryu: there is no ubuntu firewall per se. ubuntu doesn't have a default firewall
[07:37] <Gazoo> i just want to get my lappy on my accesss point
[07:37] <shiryu> LjL but when im in azureus it says that it is blocking me
[07:37] <DBO> rubydo, ok, we need to see if thats the problem (Im better dollars to donuts it is)
[07:37] <wols> snail_: do you have a wlan device? check with ifconfig -a
[07:37] <pmo> is there any recovery tool for ubuntu?
[07:37] <DBO> rubydo, to do that though I need you to run the computer for a bit with that module not loaded
[07:37] <LjL> shiryu: probably your router.
[07:37] <DBO> can you do that?
[07:37] <skulrid> Ljl now I get this error, any idea?:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23755/
[07:38] <shiryu> wols but when im in azureus it says it is blocking me
[07:38] <shiryu> LjL how i change it
[07:38] <brian__> pmo: file recovery?
[07:38] <snail_> wols, my wireless cards picked up at eth1
[07:38] <wols> shiryu: do you have a router? hardware router?
[07:38] <shiryu> or i dont know
[07:38] <Noda> wols: what do I add to my menu.lst to have the UBuntuStudio?
[07:38] <LjL> shiryu: i don't know, it's your router
[07:38] <wols> Noda: the kernel for ubuntustudio
[07:38] <shiryu> i think no wols
[07:38] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: check logs in /var/log I suppose
[07:38] <cottima> is there a way to force sudo to use a root password w/o enabling the root user, or at least have the user enter his password and a system or group password?
[07:38] <LjL> skulrid, why on earth are you trying to install ktorrent from source?
[07:38] <Noda> Where does one get that?
[07:38] <pmo> something that restores default ubuntu settings but keeps my files?
[07:38] <jrib> cottima: yes, man sudoers.  But why?
[07:39] <Azhi_Dahaka> maybe some kind of Gentoo complex?
[07:39] <shiryu> mm and you know if i can install utorrent in ubuntu?
[07:39] <pmo> like if i mess up the system
[07:39] <rubydo> DBO: Do you mean turn off my wireless?
[07:39] <snail_> shijirou, get ktorrent , it's the same thing
[07:39] <bruenig> shiryu, utorrent through wine works perfect, ktorrent is not the same
[07:39] <gravemind> redcard - the source came with an install.sh, which I ran
[07:39] <wols> Noda: if you've installed ubuntustudio you better have a kernel for it already
[07:39] <gravemind> now I need to find where it put the program
[07:39] <quio> Hello everyone.
[07:39] <brian__> pmo: keeping /home on a separate partition - that way if you have to reinstall you just don't format /home partition
[07:39] <DBO> rubydo, I want you to blacklist the module actually, then reboot and see if you still get the issue
[07:39] <snail_> i couldn't get utorrent to work for me , and i just apt-get ktorrent...
[07:39] <skulrid> LjL k torrent crashed once, now it wont start (i see it on system monitor but the program doesent load at all, same goes to azureus), I tryed to UNinsstall/reeinstall with synaptic and nothing works, now I was trying that...
[07:40] <wols> snail_: but he will have the same problem
[07:40] <Gazoo> ok , looks like this live cd is worthless too
[07:40] <bruenig> gravemind, you are going to need to look through the install.sh and see what it is doing
[07:40] <shiryu> but how i install it bruenig in ubuntu, i think it can only be installed in windows
[07:40] <pmo> ok just that i messed up oss-linux
[07:40] <aadil> hi
[07:40] <pmo> now i have no sound
[07:40] <gravemind> bruenig: redcard - it starts up from the applications menu, so far so good
[07:40] <LjL> skulrid: what a terrible idea. the fact that you see it on the system monitor means that it *is* running, but just frozen. kill it.
[07:40] <hydan> i've got an idea for gnome that maybe some ubuntu developers can implement. like most gamers who want as little slowdown as possible, I usually swap over to openbox when gaming. it would be cool if there was some type of application that switched off all unnecessary applications in your gnome desktop before you started to game, and of course the application would allow you to switch them back on after you got through.
[07:40] <bruenig> shiryu, sudo apt-get install wine, go get utorrent.exe and then do "wine utorrent.exe"
[07:40] <Noda> wols: oh, so I have to install is separately on another partition or something?
[07:40] <rubydo> DBO: I see what you mean - the problem is that the lockups are pretty random - this one came after the laptop had been idle for about an hour
[07:40] <LjL> skulrid:  killall ktorrent  in a terminal. and don't go out of your way installing source tarballs just because a program locks up.
[07:41] <wols> Noda: have you installed ubuntustudio yet? and yes it needs its own partition
[07:41] <shiryu> ok ill try it thanks bruenig
[07:41] <rubydo> DBO: And sometimes it will run for hours without problems
[07:41] <Noda> oh.
[07:41] <DBO> rubydo, can you do it tonight maybe?  I will be here tomorrow
[07:41] <Moduliz0r> is there any small gui programs I can use to host a VPN for me and a friend?
[07:41] <quio> I have been trying ubuntu for a little while now and am curious as to how I could turn an mp4 movie into a playable dvd on a dvd player.  Any helpful sugeestions or sites I might look at?
[07:41] <skulrid> LjL already killed it LOTS of times in fact, it doesent work...
[07:41] <brian__> LjL: why don't use source tarballs if programs keep locking up?
[07:41] <jaavii> olas
[07:41] <gravemind> skulrid: restart?
[07:41] <DBO> rubydo, then you dont have to sit there and watch it, just let it run overnight
[07:41] <brian__> LjL: I use what works
[07:41] <LjL> skulrid: if you're seeing it on the system monitor, it's *not* been killed.
[07:41] <Noda> wols: I used wubi to install Ubuntu, and on the wubi support thing, it said that I could install ubuntu studio under ubuntu so I would not need separate linux instalations
[07:41] <snail_> wols, as for my wireless card it's eth1 , which i know is weird for in slackware it was eth1 as well , and when i unplug it eth1 goes away , so it's eth1 there's no doubt in that
[07:42] <skulrid> yes restarted the system lots of times too
[07:42] <LjL> brian__: have you read the discussion? i think not.
[07:42] <rubydo> DBO: That's a good idea. Let's imagine I do that and it's trouble free - what would I do then?
[07:42] <bruenig> quio, ffmpeg, dvdauthor and mkisofs and growisofs is what you would need, and some time to figure out how to use them
[07:42] <wols> Noda: then do it
[07:42] <LjL> skulrid: then why would you be seeing it on the system monitor? you mean *after* starting it then?
[07:42] <skulrid> Ljl I see it then I kill it and it disappears, when I try to ruun the program it comes again onthe monitor
[07:42] <CandyMan> Guys can you help me please? It keeps saying my external HDD is read only when I know it isn't. What do I do?
[07:42] <cottima> jrib:  I will say I make thing scomplicatied, but i am thinkking that if I need to do something my user will be on a root (sudo) level always, which I am guessing i am thinking wrong, that and some of my admin users are just for adding and disabling users (these people are computer illiterate on the most part
[07:42] <Noda> But I don't know howwwwww
[07:43] <Noda> I'm really new to this whole linux thing :<
Do I need all 3 or just 1.
[07:43] <snerfu> Is there a version of parted on the livecd like gparted or qtparted?
[07:43] <DBO> then we would first try and see if there is a fix for that module, a more recent version available, or simply move you onto ndiswrapper and see if that fixes it =)
[07:43] <LjL> skulrid: ok then kill it again and remove the ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent directory (careful, this will remove your downloads as well)
[07:43] <bruenig> quio, all four
[07:43] <skulrid> Ljl on startup I think it isnt on monitor, i comes after I press the program icon to start it up
[07:43] <DBO> rubydo, ^^
[07:43] <wols> CandyMan: what filesystem on the hdd?
[07:43] <wols> snerfu: yes
[07:43] <jrib> cottima: also in man sudoers, you can see how to give people access to only certain commands.  That seems like a better way to do it.  Remember, only users you put in the "admin" group can sudo
[07:43] <rubydo> DBO: gotcha :-)
[07:43] <gravemind> quio: you can also get devede - do a google search for their website (the package in synaptic is buggy)
[07:43] <snerfu> Thanks wols
 OK Thanks I appreciate the help.
[07:44] <DBO> rubydo, you know how to blacklist a module (or capable of googling it)
[07:44] <azzamat> does anyone know a site that describes how ubuntu can be controlled/used entirely from the command line? or at least a list for all the functions of the default gnome desktop?
[07:44] <skulrid> Ljl I save my downloads on a desktop folder, how do I prevent not loosing them?
[07:44] <unique> ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/i386/samba-3.0.24-main.tgz
[07:44] <unique> oops
[07:44] <CandyMan> wols: FAT32
[07:44] <wols> !vfat
[07:44] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[07:44] <LjL> skulrid: you won't lose them if they aren't in that folder i mentioned.
[07:44] <wols> CandyMan: your umask is wrong in the mount options
[07:44] <unique> how can i allow my normal user to be able to wheel to the root ? so i can su to root...
[07:44] <skulrid> oh sory
 I will only need this one app?
[07:45] <jrib> !sudo > unique (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:45] <CandyMan> wols: How do I sort it out?
[07:45] <LjL> skulrid: remove that folder. or rename it. type  mv ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent ~/ktorrent-backup
[07:45] <thirdy> KDE nice, the coolest desktop I've seen since win95=)
[07:45] <wols> CandyMan: ubotu gave you a link
[07:45] <sibot> can anyone give me the terminal command for getting java for Fiesty Fawn?
[07:45] <jrib> !java > sibot (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:45] <wols> !java | sibot
[07:45] <ubotu> sibot: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[07:45] <gravemind> quio: yes. You have to install the mplayer package from their site though, or the audio won't work properly
[07:45] <ompaul> !root | unique (we don't discuss that here - you can do what you like in the privacy of your own command line, root is not a supported user on ubuntu)
[07:45] <ubotu> unique (we don't discuss that here - you can do what you like in the privacy of your own command line, root is not a supported user on ubuntu): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:45] <skulrid> LjL whats the best way to remove the ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent directory ?
[07:45] <LjL> skulrid, i just gave you a command i think
[07:46] <sibot> ooookay!
[07:46] <radioaktivstorm> thirdy, you got your kde up and running? wonderful :)
[07:46] <bruenig> quio, do grep cdrom /etc/fstab
[07:46] <snail_> jrib, can you pipe me the java and flash (if there is one) little quick pm things
[07:46] <Luxurious> Hi
[07:46] <skulrid> sory dindt see it
 Thanks I prefer a single app to 4 especially since I'm new to this OS.
[07:46] <cottima> jrib:  I will man sudoers.  I have a better question though, if I have to use terminal to get to some graphical configuration tools (but are not on the menu), is there a list of the graphical tools names.  For example if I did not have the network config graphical tool was missing from the menu, what would I type in terminal to run it (graphically)?
[07:46] <Luxurious> Do you guys know how to change the master system volume from the command line?
[07:46] <LjL> Luxurious: "man amixer"
[07:46] <gravemind> quio: me too : )
[07:46] <thirdy> radioaktivstorm, yeah thanx everyone!
[07:46] <eX|Joe> does anyone know what program uses chkconfig?
[07:46] <wols> Luxurious: alsamixer
[07:46] <jrib> snail_: you can ask ubotu too, just type: /msg ubotu java
[07:46] <Luxurious> Thanks a fat bunch LjL !
[07:46] <LjL> Luxurious: ("amixer set Mater 50%")
[07:47] <snail_> thanks
[07:47] <LjL> wols: alsamixer doesn't let you do that
[07:47] <draco_> buntu-fr
[07:47] <gravemind> quio: it has dependencies you need to install though, but that is easy to do
[07:47] <qman> hey, is there any way to alter the label a CD drive gets? I have two drives of the same make and model, and it's difficult to tell which is which in some applications
[07:47] <bruenig> quio, do grep cdrom /etc/fstab and paste the output
[07:47] <jrib> cottima: gksudo command, to find out the names, just right click on the ubuntu icon for the menu and go to "edit menus".  I don't know of a list somewhere
[07:48] <Luxurious> Thanks a lot!!  @ LjL&wols
[07:48] <cottima> thank you for your help and patience jrib!
[07:48] <jrib> cottima: np
[07:48] <CandyMan> wols: Still no joy
[07:49] <wols> CandyMan: what is your mount line?
[07:49] <azzamat> anyone know how i can control all the gnome/ubuntu functions from the command line?
[07:49] <cottima> does anyone have experience with LTSP?
[07:49] <ompaul> qman, you can choose some mount points, please paste the contents of "df -h" and "mount" and "cat /etc/fstab" in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:49] <quio> Bruenig /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[07:49] <quio> /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[07:49] <wols> azzamat: how would gnome from the commandline work? kinda unpossible...
[07:49] <bruenig> quio, which one is your dvd drive,?
[07:49] <thirdy> 251mb ram used, 4mb free, damn
[07:50] <wols> thirdy: free ram is a myth
[07:50] <thirdy> why?
[07:50] <wols> thirdy: if you have free ram, your OS is broken
[07:50] <azzamat> wols, i mean the functions that are on display, such as gdmflexiserver, /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh, update-manager etc
[07:50] <wols> all "free" ram is automatically diskcache
[07:50] <ompaul> thirdy, the full story here:  A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html
[07:50] <gravemind> hey guys - if you're installing lots of packages with apt, do they get commas in between like "sudo apt-get install package1, package2" or are there no commas
 I'm sorry but I am not quite sure. :(
[07:51] <qman> ompaul, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23756/
[07:51] <cottima> has anyone done a terminal server?
[07:51] <lockd> gravemind: no commas
[07:51] <gravemind> lockd: thanks : )
[07:51] <bruenig> quio, do eject /dev/hdb and then eject /dev/hdc to see which one shoots out
[07:51] <Toxicity> d00ds microsfot windowz vitsa t0taly pwns u n00bs
[07:51] <asdf> does anyone know how to call a right-click menu from the terminal?
[07:52] <bruenig> asdf, don't believe you can
[07:52] <ompaul> qman, where is the confusion that all looks straight forward
[07:52] <shawn34> Ubuntu will not display my monitor at the correct refresh rate regardless of what I do, someone please help. I have these annoying lines running through the screen
[07:52] <qman> ompaul, in programs like Gnomebaker, the drives have the same label, there is nothing to distinguish which is which
[07:52] <asdf> bruenig: is there a way to map a "right-click" menu to a certain key command like F12?
[07:52] <qman> they are called "BENQ DVD+-RW" or something along those lines
[07:52] <gravemind> quio: before you install quio, install its dependencies by running this command: sudo apt-get install python python-support dvdauthor vcdimager mkisofs ttf-freefont python-gtk2 python-glade2
 it is   /dev/hdc
[07:53] <gravemind> quio: lol, I mean before you install devede
[07:53] <CandyMan> wols: Sorry about that my PC froze
[07:53] <bruenig> asdf, not sure, it is mapped to something on my keyboard, so I guess it is possible, I didn't do it though
[07:53] <skulrid> LjL it worked, ktorrent now running. thank you
[07:53] <asdf> I'm trying to map F12 to "right-click" because I have a mac
[07:54] <gravemind> asdf: you don't have a right clicking mouse?
[07:54] <CandyMan> wols: There is nothing under mount point, mount settings and file system
[07:54] <asdf> gravemind: I only use the touchpad
[07:54] <radioaktivstorm> ompaul, this article on memory management is fascinating!
[07:54] <bruenig> quio, this script should be able to convert any video file you have and then burn it to a dvd
[07:54] <bruenig> quio, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23757/
[07:55] <gravemind> asdf: I found myself in the same situation at one point. I wish they made a right clicker on the touchpad. I ended up buying a microsoft usb mouse
[07:55] <ompaul> radioaktivstorm, read kernel sources if you want beyond the fascinating ;-)
[07:55] <tsikis> hello there
[07:55] <bruenig> quio, just run it with ./script nameoffile (or whatever you call the script)
[07:55] <shawn34> Ubuntu will not display my monitor at the correct refresh rate regardless of what I do, someone please help. I have these annoying lines running through the screen
[07:56] <sm> morning all
[07:56] <sm> how do I change my window manger in a system-friendly way ?
[07:56] <skulrid> LjlL but my Firefox prob remains (after trying to install macromedia plugins and stuff) it is very unstable, cant see youtube videos or flash app, closes without warning on some sites...
[07:56] <radioaktivstorm> :D
[07:56] <qman> shawn34, you need to find the exact numbers for your monitor, and enter then in xorg.conf
[07:56] <sm> dpkg-reconfigure somepackage to change /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager ? but which package ? is there a better way ?
[07:56] <logixoul> Hi. I don't understand one part of Typo3's README.Debian - http://nopaste.com/p/aKMDtX2lO - can someone please explain it?
[07:56] <shawn34> qman, i did
[07:56] <ompaul> qman, so if the problem is your CDs / DVDs then what I used to do stick a cd in and then write the names on the drive,
[07:56] <shawn34> qman, exactly
[07:57] <CandyMan> Hello can someone help me with my external HDD please? It comes up as read only and won't let me write to it
[07:57] <shawn34> qman, its displaying at 55 instead of 60
[07:57] <irbdavid> i can't seem to get this grub lark to work - at boot up i just get 'grub' printed in the top left of my screen and nothing else - can't enter any commands or anything
[07:57] <zoom> what is the better prog between vlc and mediaplayer please ?
[07:57] <wols> logixoul: owner of the typo3 files
 I'll still have to get the 4 apps you suggested though correct.  My appologies I am a NewB
[07:57] <erUSUL> CandyMan: ntfs?
[07:57] <qman> ompaul, not the media, both drives are the same make and model, and gnomebaker uses the vendor string instead of device or mount point to identify them. I was wondering if there's a way to change it
[07:57] <wols> logixoul: needs to be www-data
[07:58] <shawn34> zoom, matter of opinion, id say mplayer
[07:58] <irbdavid> i have ubuntu on a separate drive to windows, and the bios boots from the windows drive first (sda1)
[07:58] <bruenig> quio, did you install that script?
[07:58] <CandyMan> erUSUL: Yeah
[07:58] <zoom> thx shawn34
[07:58] <wols> CandyMan: paste your mount line in a pastebin. I asked you this before
[07:58] <rambo3> logixoul , change tje ownership of /var/www
 No not yet I thought I need the apps first
[07:59] <bruenig> !find mkisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> Found: mkisofs
[07:59] <erUSUL> !ntfs | CandyMan
[07:59] <bruenig> !info mkisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> CandyMan: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:59] <ubotu> mkisofs: Dummy transition package for genisoimage. In component main, is optional. Version 9:1.1.2-1 (feisty), package size 0 kB, installed size 32 kB
[07:59] <rambo3> logixoul , or rather change the user from www-data to youruser
[07:59] <wols> erUSUL: he doesn't use ntfs
[07:59] <asdf> Anyone out there know how to map the "right-click" menu to a keystroke?
[07:59] <bruenig> !info growisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> Package growisofs does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[07:59] <gravemind> quio: are you going to install devede?
[07:59] <bruenig> !find growisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> File growisofs found in dvd+rw-tools
[07:59] <logixoul> rambo3: the actual site is in my home dir, /var/www contains merely a symlink to it. So, what dir should I chown and to whom should I chown it?
 I am confused now wether I should install the 4 you suggested or devede???
[08:00] <CandyMan> ro nosuid nodev uid=0 gid=0 umask=0222 nls=utf8 errors=continue mft_zone_multiplier=1
[08:00] <logixoul> rambo3: if I chown /home/logixoul/CMS/ to logixoul, would that be enough?
[08:00] <wols> CandyMan: that is  not the full line
[08:00] <thirdy> is it ok if the ram usage is 90% of my total ram?
[08:00] <CandyMan> wols: That is all I have
[08:00] <logixoul> rambo3: well, it belongs to logixoul anyway
[08:00] <bruenig> quio, ok do this command, should set it all up: sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools mkisofs dvdauthor ffmpeg && cd /usr/local/bin && sudo wget http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23757/plain/ -O video2dvd && chmod +x video2dvd
[08:00] <rambo3> !lamp | logixoul
[08:00] <ubotu> logixoul: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:00] <wols> CandyMan: that does nothing. try again
[08:00] <thirdy> is it ok for my generic 256mb ram?
[08:00] <logixoul> rambo3: thx
[08:00] <wols> CandyMan: it's only options
[08:01] <ompaul> qman, ahh, so, Edit, Preferences, Devices and double click on the device name
[08:01] <qman> thirdy, that's fine, as long as you aren't experiencing problems; swap space makes up for insufficient RAM
[08:01] <gravemind> quio, bruenig: the 4 packages bruenig suggested may work, but they will most likely require you to use the command line to do all the work. DeVeDe is just a graphical frontend of those programs that lets you make dvds more easily
[08:01] <CandyMan> wols: Well what should I do?
[08:01] <wols> CandyMan: paste the line that mounts it
[08:01] <thirdy> qman, ok thax
[08:01] <__aib> does anyone know about the VMWare-server packages I see on packages.ubuntu.com? do they allow me to do a complete install of vmware server??
[08:01] <wols> not the options only
[08:01] <qman> ompaul, thanks, that's exactly what I needed
[08:01] <CandyMan> wols: That is all I have, everything else is blank
[08:02] <devil_> help i cant put                  =Game("StarWars")        into an  openoffice2.0 spread sheet cell
[08:02] <wols> CandyMan: suit yourself then. HAND
[08:02] <ompaul> qman, you're welcome
[08:02] <CandyMan> wols: What? So you're not going to help me?
 OK I ran it.
[08:02] <ompaul> devil_, you can if you format cell as text -
[08:02] <wols> CandyMan: either you give me the info I need or I cannot help you. bye
[08:02] <qman> CandyMan, we need the entire mount line, not just the options
[08:03] <wols> CandyMan: and the errors you ecnounter too if any
[08:03] <sahil> Anyone know how to increase the speed of Ubuntu ?
[08:03] <wols> sahil: buy a faster PC
[08:03] <sahil> lol, a more "soft" solution?
[08:03] <tsikis> guys i got a problem with my network i got vista on one pc and ubuntu feisty on other the problem is i cannot enter the vista share even with firewall off and file sharing on it keeps asking for username password
[08:03] <tsikis> ?
[08:03] <sahil> i wanna hold of, cuz if i get anew one it will be a macbook
[08:03] <brian__> sahil: install xubuntu
[08:03] <qman> sahil, if your swap space is full, you might allocate more; find out with the "free" command
[08:04] <gravemind> sahil: there are some guides on the ubuntu forum that are pretty good
[08:04] <sahil> i have a 1.7 Ghz with 1 gig ram
[08:04] <asdf> gravemind, bruenig: sudo apt-get install mouseemu restores F12 to right-click
[08:04] <radioaktivstorm> heh. xubuntu works wonders ^^
[08:04] <sahil> but my FSB is only 600 MHz
[08:04] <dani> hi
[08:04] <mneptok> sahil: and Ubuntu is slow when compared to ... ?
[08:04] <qman> sahil, that should handle ubuntu just fine
[08:04] <gravemind> asdf: nice. Did you try it yet?
[08:04] <wols> sahil: this I don't believe. unless you run on water or liquid n2
[08:04] <dani> I have a new laptop with an intel gma X3100 and ubuntu live doesn't boot
[08:04] <asdf> gavemind: yep
[08:04] <sahil> It is fine, just a lil slow with beryl
[08:04] <CandyMan> Here is a screenshot http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/4908/screenshotrj1.png
[08:05] <wols> sahil: hint: your CPU FSB is quad data rate
[08:05] <tommy__> I encounter the error: No Devices detected
[08:05] <mneptok> sahil: so don't use Beryl
[08:05] <asdf> pretty simple stuff: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/mouseemu
[08:05] <tommy__> when trying to start X
[08:05] <qman> sahil, that's a graphics card issue; get a better video card (but you can't if you have a laptop)
[08:05] <sahil> I have a 256 MB ATI card
[08:05] <mneptok> sahil: in a laptop?
[08:05] <wols> sahil: be happy you managed to run beryl at all
[08:06] <devil_> ompaul cool thanks
[08:06] <qman> sahil, the amount of memory on it is not as important as the chip's speed and capability
[08:06] <gravemind> asdf: great. I'll remember that if I put ubuntu back on my macbook. (I wonder if there's a darwin or a windows equivalent : )
[08:06] <CandyMan> wols: So what do I do? I don't even know if it's mounted properly
[08:06] <sahil> its a year old, just doesnt handle the full screen fire on close smoothly
 What is the site to go to in order to download yours?
[08:06] <ScottAS> sahil: Asus are releasing an External Graphics Processing Unit especially for Laptop Users this year. I thought you may find it useful. :)
[08:07] <gravemind> quio: I had it a second ago
[08:07] <sahil> I am thinking of upgrading this one so i can use it for like another 3 years or so
[08:07] <sahil> my lappy is 2 years old
[08:07] <gravemind> quio: http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html
[08:07] <gravemind> quio: the files you need are at the bottom
[08:07] <mneptok> sahil: dude. you're seriously asking how to "speed up Ubuntu" because one effect of a bleeding edge unsupported compositor is "a little slow"?  :)
[08:08] <gravemind> quio: you also have to install the dependecies with this command (in case you missed it earlier): sudo apt-get install python python-support dvdauthor vcdimager mkisofs ttf-freefont python-gtk2 python-glade2
[08:08] <sahil> yes
[08:08] <linuxnub> whats the command line for uninstalling a program
[08:08] <mc44> mneptok: gotta have fast fire dude, get with the 21sat century!
[08:08] <wols> sahil: get a decent videocard for linux (ie not ati based)
[08:08] <xcd> lol
[08:08] <bruenig> quio, ok so now just do video2dvd filename and it should go
[08:08] <mc44> linuxnub: sudo apt-get remove program
[08:08] <xcd> i remember back in the day when people were like
[08:08] <linuxnub> thanks
[08:08] <xcd> "get a decent nic card: i.e. 3com"
[08:08] <missc> -exit
[08:08] <CandyMan> Please help me
[08:09] <qman> sahil, it's your graphics card; age isn't really as much of a factor as type and speed of video card
[08:09] <bruenig> quio, make sure you have a blank dvd in the tray
[08:09] <qman> sahil, nvidia cards work much better in linux
[08:09] <sahil> qman, can u suggest a good card
[08:09] <sahil> nooooooooo
[08:09] <sahil> with nvidia you get the black window bug
[08:09] <magnetron> sahil: the intel cards are the best supported in linux
[08:09] <thompa> anyone know of a way to copy damaged music cds?
[08:09] <Xerelo> Someone can help me to install Xampp?
[08:09] <mneptok> sahil: you can't replace the graphics in your laptop, can you?
[08:09] <gravemind> thompa: did you try cdrdao yet?
[08:10] <Lella> ohii ciaoooo
[08:10] <gravemind> it works fairly well
[08:10] <qman> sahil, what black window bug
[08:10] <psycho> hola
  OK I downloaded devede-2.13.tar.bz2 and mplayer-cvs-2007-04-11-0-i386.deb My appologies but how do I install them?
[08:10] <thompa> gravemind: nope., tried nothing, the cd in question skips on a few tracks
[08:10] <brian__> are the intel ones actually open source? because I know how those wrapper things work
[08:10] <gravemind> thompa: it uses cdparanoia to check for errors
[08:10] <irbdavid> is there no program that takes you through the grub setup?  the installer didnt even appear to generate a grub.conf file
[08:10] <thompa> gravemind: so its maybe possible to fix?
[08:10] <qman> mneptok, depends on the laptop, but I think he's talking about a desktop
[08:11] <bruenig> quio, that was not my advice, whoever told you to that will have to tell you, right now all you must do is video2dvd whatever.mp4 and it will work
[08:11] <magnetron> quio: you should not download them with a web browser. use synaptic instead, it will download AND install them for you
[08:11] <gravemind> thompa: yeah, give it a try
[08:11] <CandyMan> !ntfs-3g
[08:11] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:11] <thompa> gravemind: ok thanks
[08:11] <gravemind> quio: to install them, doubleclick on the mplayer one and that will install
[08:12] <gravemind> quio: then do that command I sent you in terminal if you haven't already
[08:12] <psycho> can anyone help me with an orinoco gold pcmcia card w/ antenna, i have the disk but it only has windows drivers and for some reason i cannot get it to work with feisty
[08:12] <gravemind> quio: tell me when you're done with those
[08:12] <dxdemetriou> Can I make the firefox menus to be all in english? I don't want it to translate them
[08:12] <Wooksta> can anyone help? im having a problem with ubuntu feisty server... i have an old box which was running ubuntu desktop (edgy eft) and i just re-installed to fiesty server but now every time when the system tries to start it gets past grub, i get a "Starting up..." message and then the system resets, how can i debug this issue?
[08:13] <amitron> It seems that OpenGL on my ATI Radeon 9200 card is no longer supported by the drivers! What do I do now?
[08:13] <quio> ok i installed the mplayer-cvs-2007-04-11-0-i386.deb
[08:13] <gravemind> quio: alright, now run the command in terminal
[08:13] <ScottAS> amitron: Does ATi provide a Legacy Driver?
[08:13] <irbdavid> grub configuration?
[08:14] <fresa> hi
[08:14] <ScottAS> Hello fresa.
 What comand??
[08:14] <qman> Wooksta, try #ubuntu-server
[08:14] <fresa> i've a problem trying to get a 8187 wifi card on kubuntu feisty with ndiswrapper
[08:15] <qman> amitron, buy an nvidia card
[08:15] <gravemind> quio: just a sec
[08:15] <maquivex> holas
[08:15] <maximal_> Wooksta: have you tried booting with the verbose option rather than quiet?
[08:15] <gravemind> quio: sudo apt-get install python python-support dvdauthor vcdimager mkisofs ttf-freefont python-gtk2 python-glade2
[08:15] <fresa> i backlisted the 8187 modules, but ndiswrapper still says to me that there is another driver
[08:15] <needhelp> Can anyone name a rar password cracker for GNU/linux/ubuntu ?
 Thank you for your patience. I know it gets frustrating.
[08:15] <fresa> lsmod | grep 8187 is blank
[08:15] <Wooksta> maximal, no i'll give that a try
[08:15] <amitron> ScottAS: what?
[08:16] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: w.r.t. my intent to install gutsy packages: I found out about apt-pinning. Yay!
[08:16] <azzamat> needhelp, the easy way out: googling for the file name
[08:16] <qman> amitron, to my knowledge, ati does not provide a legacy driver. You could attempt to compile an old version manually, but that's not likely to work
[08:16] <gravemind> quio: it's no problem really. When you've done that, extract the devede file you downloaded by double clicking it, doubleclick the install.sh file
[08:16] <Wooksta> maximal_ it still may be a challenge as it resets pretty much straight away after it gets past grub
[08:16] <gravemind> everyone: can you run a .sh file by doubleclicking it?
 By the way the only one i installed was the one I told you I do not know how to install the devede-2.13.tar.bz2
[08:17] <qman> amitron, if you can get a hold of an older nvidia card, I suggest doing so, as nvidia provides legacy drivers for everything as old as the GeForce 2
[08:17] <mirak> can grub be installed on a reiserfs partition ?
[08:17] <needhelp> azzamat: for the rar-file you mean? I dont think I'll find the name elsewhere. Need to extract a rar file when I have forgotten my own password
[08:17] <gravemind> quio: how did you install it? I mean, what steps did you take exactly did you do?
[08:17] <maximal_> Wooksta: it may be that the splash screen is causing the crash - try replacing quiet splash with verbose
 Ok Done.  I extracted the files.
[08:18] <ticky> hi. i'm having issue (Input/output errors) burning ISO dvds . does anybody know how to fix this?
[08:18] <gravemind> quio: do you know how to change directory in terminal?
[08:18] <quio> yes
[08:18] <fivetwentysix> Is it possible to install adobe flash on the x86_64 architecture?
[08:18] <Wooksta> maximal_ , ok i'll give that a shot, cheers :)
[08:18] <gravemind> quio: ok, change directory to the folder you extracted, and do this command: ./install.sh
[08:19] <brian__> fivetwentysix: not to my knowledge, except maybe with WINE
[08:19] <xcd> fivetwentysix: yes there is
[08:19] <xcd> fivetwentysix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290785
[08:19] <brian__> xcd: oh, there is?
[08:19] <smallfoot-> is there any CD burning software on the Ubuntu LiveCD ?
[08:19] <gravemind> quio: actually, that should be sudo ./install.sh
[08:19] <xcd> you have to use a 32bit wrapper
[08:20] <xcd> and it's not really an official ubuntu fix or anything.
[08:20] <xcd> but that worked for me
[08:20] <gravemind> smallfoot-: did you try k3b?
[08:20] <pablo_> nas
[08:21] <irbdavid> in the grub menu.lst, should my windows drive be: root (sda1,0)   ? if it's on sda1?
[08:21] <qman> there's a command line utility called "cdrecord", though I'm not sure if it's present in the live environment
[08:21] <tmroland> smbclient provides windows SMB client-side functionality?
[08:21] <varka> fivetwentysix: ndispluginwrapper
[08:21] <xcd> fivetwentysix: this site also does essentially the same process... but this is the one i actually followed myself: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727
[08:21] <tmroland> so no need for windows
 I get this output       ./install.sh: command not found
[08:21] <qman> irbdavid, no, all grub devices are (hd#,#)
[08:21] <irbdavid> so....
[08:22] <gravemind> quio: ok, that just means you are in the wrong folder.
[08:22] <pressenter> Good afternoon.
[08:22] <irbdavid> ubuntu is apparently (hd0,0)
[08:22] <qman> irbdavid, look at /boot/grub/device.map, it'll tell you what's what
[08:22] <xcd> fivetwentysix: and it'd be my suggestion to write somewhere what files you installed with dpkg/what symbolic links to delete so when adobe really does come out with an x86_64 version of the player, you can uninstall the old junk you won't need anymore :)
[08:22] <pressenter> How can i get ukrainian language support in ubuntu?
[08:22] <irbdavid> thanks
[08:22] <irbdavid> whats the signficance of the the ',0' ?
[08:22] <gravemind> quio: you should be inside the devede-2.13 folder
[08:23] <qman> irbdavid, the first number is the drive number, the second is the partition number
[08:23] <nuked_omen> pressenter: try system > administration > language support
  My bad.  Let me try again ;)
[08:23] <qman> irbdavid, the first drive is 0, and the first partition is 0
[08:23] <ompaul> pressenter, as you install you will be offered choices, choose the langauge / locale you require
[08:24] <mattloaf1> Hi, everyone... I'm trying to use an Ubuntu Live CD to access a Windows HD in my system... how can I browse the Windows drive file structure through Ubuntu?
 OK that is done.  Went reallll quick though.
[08:24] <fresa> please someone could help with ndiswrapper on feisty?!
[08:24] <gravemind> quio: good, that means it found no errors : )
[08:24] <ticky> does anybody know how can i turn off IDE-SCSI emulation? do i need to recompile the kernel, or what
[08:24] <gravemind> quio: you should be able to find it in applications>sound and video
[08:25] <pressenter> ompaul: But i have my system already installed with polish language support. When i'm trying to use mp3s with ukrainian signs they are all outputted wrong.
[08:25] <irbdavid> grr.  my entry for windows in my menu.lst just causes grub to cycle at boot
[08:25] <gravemind> ticky: is your ide cd drive not working?
[08:25] <qman> mattloaf1, you can mount it read only by doing the following in a terminal: "sudo mkdir /media/drive; sudo chmod 777 /media/drive; sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/drive"
  What program is it?/?
[08:25] <qman> mattloaf1, assuming your windows drive is /dev/hda1
[08:25] <irbdavid> 'press esc to enter the menu" repeatedly after selecting windows :(
[08:25] <gravemind> quio: DeVeDe
[08:25] <ticky> gravemind: i'm getting input/output errors, when i try to burn a dvd from an ISO image.
[08:25] <qman> mattloaf1, to get read/write access, you need ntfs-3g
[08:26] <mattloaf1> qman, how do i know what designation my HD has if not hda1
[08:26] <ticky> gravemind: i've read that one of the solutions might be to do that.
 I dont see it there??
[08:26] <ompaul> pressenter, you want to add more fonts, open synaptic package manager and add the ones you need
[08:26] <gravemind> ticky: oh, I don't know then. Sorry.
[08:26] <gravemind> quio: uh oh
[08:26] <ticky> gravemind: that's ok. thanks.
[08:26] <pressenter> ompaul: Ok, will search, thanks.
[08:26] <irbdavid> i need help setting up grub, something critical must be missing
[08:26] <gravemind> quio: try typing devede in the terminal
[08:26] <qman> mattloaf1, that depends on your system; generally, primary IDE master is hda, slave hdb, secondary master hdc, slave hdd, SATA and SCSI drives are sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, etc...
[08:27] <qman> mattloaf1, the number is the partition number on the drive, starting with 1
[08:27] <quio> It says it cannot find vcdimager??
[08:27] <linnuxxy> if i attach a usb device to the computer... how to know where it has been mapped in the /dev directory
[08:28] <irbdavid> is there a setup utility for grub that will do this for me?
[08:28] <qman> linnuxxy, it should be the next available sd device
[08:28] <aman> no
[08:28] <mattloaf1> qman, thank you... i am assuming all of those 'sudo' commands are not on the same line, but entered on different lines?
[08:28] <lockd> anyone had luck with libflash? I can't seem to get the official plugin to work in firefox trunk
[08:28] <Voodoonix> i need some help with a sound card
[08:28] <qman> linnuxxy, so if you have no SATA or SCSI drives or anything else attached, it would be sda
[08:28] <lockd> libflash-mozplugin on any (non-alpha) browser
[08:28] <ama-deus13> hello, everyone
 It runs but it says it cannot find vcdimager
[08:29] <irbdavid> is there a setup utility for grub that will do this for me?
[08:29] <qman> linnuxxy, otherwise, it would be the next available, like sdb, sdc, etc...
[08:29] <linnuxxy> qman it is a serial to usb adaper... not a disc
[08:29] <gravemind> quio: try sudo apt-get install vcdimager
[08:29] <qman> linnuxxy, oh, I thought you meant a flash drive
[08:30] <nekyinboots> Thanks for all the help installing Kubunto Desktop
[08:30] <linnuxxy> is there something in the /proc i may search for?
[08:30] <qman> linnuxxy, I've used a USB to serial port adapter before, and it assigned itself the second default serial port device
[08:30] <ama-deus13> urgent.  i get troubles recording dvd-rw in ubuntu. i download some stuff for my friend, record it to his dvd-rw and then he uses it in windows. problem is that i can't erase that dvd. even being erased in nero it just doesn't want to record
[08:30] <linnuxxy> qman ttySn?
[08:30] <irbdavid> anybody?  i can't boot windows here
  OK did it I'm going to give it a go.
[08:30] <qman> linnuxxy, yes
[08:30] <irbdavid> i want to install a bootloader to the root of my windows drive, right?
[08:31] <linnuxxy> qman... is there something easier than the minicom?
[08:31] <linnuxxy> something like the HyperTerminal?
[08:31] <qman> linnuxxy, I agree, minicom is awful to use, I can't remember what application I used, though; it was more similar to hyperterminal
 Woo Hoo!!!  I will try to burn now.  Lets see how it goes.  Your the best!!
[08:32] <ScottAS> Did someone send me a message?
[08:32] <irbdavid> what does the chainloader do in grub?
[08:33] <Noiano> hello everybody
[08:33] <qman> irbdavid, it loads another bootloader
[08:33] <Noiano> I am looking for a simple beginners guide for iptables...any suggestions?
[08:33] <qman> irbdavid, for example, to boot windows, you would chainload the windows bootloader
[08:34] <irbdavid> if i write grub to the root of sda1 then it will overwrite the windows bootloader though right?
[08:34] <smallfoot-> gravemind, is k3b available from the LiveCD?
[08:34] <nekyinboots> One thing I would like, does anyone know of a good frontend for transcode?
[08:34] <gravemind> quio: great, I
[08:34] <gravemind> I'm glad it worked
[08:34] <gravemind> smallfoot-: I don't know offhand
[08:35] <smallfoot-> okie
[08:35] <qman> irbdavid, it won't overwrite it, it will, however, take it's place in the mbr
[08:35] <idefixx> irbdavid: it will probably overwrite the ms bootsector (u dont want that) if windows is installaed to sda1
[08:35] <qman> Noiano, http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/chunkyhtml/index.html
[08:35] <smallfoot-> because im getting new computer, it has no os, i have no recent os on cd, but i have an old livecd, so i thouht i can use it, to download new iso, and burn
[08:35] <qman> irbdavid, by installing grub "over" it in the mbr, you merely need a chainloader statement to boot windows
[08:35] <Noiano> qman, thanks
[08:35] <linnuxxy> qman : is it GtkTerm?
[08:35] <irbdavid> so it needs 'chainloader +1" in there?
[08:35] <qman> linnuxxy, probably, that sounds familiar
[08:36] <idefixx> qman: no he is talking about sda1 not sda.. sda1= bootsector not mbr
[08:36] <qman> irbdavid, yes
[08:36] <irbdavid> this sucks.  booting i just get a 'grub' prompt that i can't type anything into now
[08:36] <smallfoot-> is there any command, to creat a RAMdisk, so i can download an ISO to the RAMdisk and burn the ISO from the RAMdisk to a CD ?
[08:36] <irbdavid> if i let the bios boot that drive first
[08:36] <rambo3> how do i add free space to my ubuntu parition
[08:36] <qman> irbdavid, it must not be finding the configuration
[08:37] <blue|palm> Hi there, can anybody reccomend a good linux distro for C/C++ development of Linux applications? Ive heard that gentoo is supposedly good for that...
[08:37] <wols> rambo3: resize it
[08:37] <lockd> blue|palm: installing the -dev packages in Ubuntu is fine for that, though
[08:37] <wols> blue|palm: look at the channel you're in
[08:37] <rambo3> wols, orly?
[08:37] <root1> hello
[08:37] <blue|palm> lol i know what channel i am in... Im using ubuntu right now
[08:38] <armio> #chanels
[08:38] <blue|palm> The problem is that ubuntu doesnt always have the latest stuff in the repos...
[08:38] <idefixx> blue|palm: imo they are all the same for that.. gentoo however has the best build support since all the stuff u emerge is beeing build.
[08:38] <tommy__> hello again..
[08:38] <andydufresne> have u ever tried to change icons in pcmanfm?
[08:38] <lockd> idefixx: supposing they all build correctly.. it can be a pain to reconfigure
[08:38] <qman> blue|palm, if you want bleeding edge, then gentoo will have it, but ubuntu is reasonably up to date
[08:38] <idefixx> lockd: i know :)
[08:38] <tommy__> i got my X running again... But now the resolution for too low
[08:38] <jose_miguel> irbdavid, if you free a partition the ubuntu installer will recognice it and you will have the option to install it there. If you don't have space for a partition you need to resize it, maybe partition magic works well
[08:38] <tommy__> and the image gets distorted
[08:38] <irbdavid> okay, i have a bootloader installed on hda1 that can boot linux okay, and a crippled bootloader on sda1 that doesn't do squat.  the bootloader on hda1 gets stuck in a loop if i try to select the windows option - what should i do?
[08:38] <azlon> how can i find out if i have Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server?
[08:39] <tommy__> so i cant see what i am doing, how can i change the resolution from a different user or from the console?
[08:39] <wols> irbdavid: check the menu.lst entry for windows
[08:39] <irbdavid> wols: its there, i had to uncomment it myself
[08:39] <dudubs> how i can write to windows partitions from ubuntu?
[08:39] <qman> azlon, you had to pick one when you downloaded and burned the CD
[08:39] <lockd> does anyone know how to tell libflash to accept a different MIME type for shockwave?
[08:39] <blue|palm> azlon, type gnome-system-monitor into a gnome-terminal
[08:39] <wols> tommy__: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:39] <jessid> hello. i am trying to use chroot to change the root to /media/disk, but the result of sudo chroot /media/disk is cant change root directory to /media/disk: operation not allowed.... what can i do????
[08:40] <wols> irbdavid: maybe. but it certainly isn't the right entry. or it would work
[08:40] <irbdavid> obviously
[08:40] <qman> jessid, use sudo
[08:40] <wols> jessid: be root
[08:40] <idefixx> irbdavid: where is your windows installaed to?
[08:40] <blue|palm> azlon, then click the system tab
[08:40] <magnetron> jessid: are you shure you want to do that?
[08:40] <azlon> qman: i got it off bittorrent... this is my first time playing with linux
[08:40] <idefixx> irbdavid: partition?
[08:40] <tommy__> realy? cause it works for me when entering another user.. That i just created
[08:40] <dudubs> How I can write to windows partitions from ubuntu????

[08:41] <azlon> qman: can i msg you?
[08:41] <idefixx> irbdavid: if you say you have got a 'crippled' bootsector on sda1 does that mean you overwrote it at some point?
[08:41] <kenjutsu> I have this weird problem and I hope eomeone will be able to help me
[08:41] <Genomsaren> I cant install tar.gz files
[08:41] <kenjutsu> my mouse is randomly turning off and on

[08:42] <irbdavid> okay i'm worried now, ubuntu cant even mount my windows partition
[08:42] <idefixx> irbdavid: well thats not good (no problem though) because you killed your windows bottsector.. the one starting the ntldr.
[08:42] <kenjutsu> cuz it works after reboot
[08:42] <magnetron> kenjutsu: i got similar problems with my usb mouse
[08:42] <Aerotwelve1> Would I have to use ndiswrapper?

[08:43] <a|K|a> anyone know of a fix?
[08:43] <kenjutsu> I woudnt make sense how would mouse suddenly start working after reboot if it were broken
[08:43] <Genomsaren> I cant install tar.gz files how can I do it?
[08:43] <irbdavid> idefixx: i need a bootloader there to get anything to boot though, right
[08:43] <irbdavid> ?
[08:43] <kenjutsu> but it is off completely
[08:43] <a|K|a> err googling now :\
[08:43] <kenjutsu> optical light off
[08:43] <kenjutsu> ] google didnt come up with anything
[08:43] <jose_miguel> irbdavid, if both disk sda1 and hda1 are on the same machine. You should have only one boot disk, the primary disk. Install there the bootloader and then configure it to chainload windows on the second
[08:43] <wols> Genomsaren: unpack them (tar -zxvf). and then follow the instructions that came with the software
[08:43] <Genomsaren> kenjutsu maybe usb doesnt support its power or not good...
[08:43] <idefixx> irbdavid: you need the windows bootsector there to get windows to load... linux is a different issue.
[08:43] <Genomsaren> ok
[08:43] <kenjutsu> well I dindnt have these problems beforwe
[08:44] <kenjutsu> they only appeared recently
[08:44] <irbdavid> so what should i be doing then?

[08:46] <wols> irbdavid: since ubuntu apparently boots you fstab is fine

[08:46] <kenjutsu> It's weir cuz it turns off completely :(( I'm confused
[08:46] <kenjutsu> And works again after reboot
[08:46] <thirdy> how do I set permission for menu.Ist?
[08:46] <wols> Genomsaren: install build-essential. also probably autoconf and automake
[08:46] <azlon> qman: ok, i have desktop (thanks to the iso title as you stated), now can i load a LAMP server on here? or do i NEED to have Ubuntu Server?
[08:47] <qman> thirdy, that's menu.lst, a lowercase L
[08:47] <thirdy> oh
[08:47] <qman> azlon, you can install LAMP, but it will be easier to do with the server CD
[08:47] <thirdy> qman, how do I set change permission settings?
[08:47] <bknitram> I'm finding that when I start my computer, swap is never mounted. How can I fix this?
[08:47] <slbkbs> /q !
[08:47] <wols> thirdy: by opening it with root permissions
[08:47] <qman> thirdy, you shouldn't need to. Are you trying to modify it? what editor do you use?
[08:48] <irbdavid> idefixx: "this doesnt look like a partition table. Probably you selected the wrong device"
[08:48] <azlon> qman: why is that? will i have to spend way more time installing LAMP? all i want is a basic wordpress page (to play around with instead of messing with my live page)
[08:48] <irbdavid> definitely the right drive though - 250GB
[08:48] <thirdy> I have Kate, Kwrite, Mousepad
[08:48] <thirdy> qman, I have Kate, Kwrite, Mousepad
[08:48] <qman> azlon, the reason server CD is easier is because it has an install process that does all the packages for you right when you install the system; with desktop, you will have to install and configure all the packages manually
[08:49] <irbdavid> stuff like "partition 1 does not end of a cylinder boundary"
[08:49] <bknitram> I've already checked /etc/fstab, it has swap in it
[08:49] <idefixx> irbdavid: hmm.. try 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda'
[08:49] <wols> irbdavid: your ubuntu starts fine with grub yes? so why do you bother with all that?
[08:49] <qman> thirdy, run "kdesu Kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" or whichever one you wish to use
[08:49] <thirdy> OK, How do I edit in the terminal?
[08:49] <wols> sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:49] <azlon> qman: frick... will i lose any features by switching to server? i picked desktop because i thought it would be more user friendly...
[08:49] <irbdavid> idefixx: that says there's a single bootable ntfs partition on there, as expected
[08:49] <qman> thirdy, if you want to use nano, "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[08:50] <qman> azlon, server doesn't have X installed, command line only by default
[08:50] <irbdavid> wols: eh?  trying to get windows to work as well
[08:50] <idefixx> irbdavid: just to be sure.. with cfdisk everything looks fine?
[08:50] <wols> irbdavid: only place you can do that is menu.lst. but feel free to ignore me
[08:50] <bknitram> I'm finding that when I start my computer, swap is never mounted. How can I fix this? fstab says swap should mount unless the uuid is wrong.
[08:50] <qman> azlon, the reason is, generally, you want to avoid having X installed on a server, as it's a security risk and performance hit, especially if you're running a bastion host
[08:50] <wols> irbdavid: most probably you make grub look at the wrong pace for it
[08:50] <irbdavid> idefixx: yes
[08:51] <aman> killtron2000 what are your findings?
[08:51] <idefixx> wols: no he shot his windows bootsector, trying to install grub.
[08:51] <irbdavid> wols: i dont know what i'm doing here tbh
[08:51] <qman> azlon, however, if you want a desktop system, and just to have a web server on it, you should stick with the desktop and install those packages on top
[08:51] <myo> hi all, newb here trying to play dvds on my dell inspiron b130 running feisty.  I keep getting this error: Totem could not play 'dvd:/' I can't find a support post for this
[08:51] <wols> idefixx: he installed grub to sda1?
[08:51] <wols> he installed it to sda. but that doesn't matter at all
[08:51] <idefixx> wols: yep
[08:51] <irbdavid> tried to yes
[08:51] <Flannel> azlon: you don't gain anything by going to server either.  All of the packages are available on both.  In fact, you end up with an identical system, only with different packages installed by default (desktop has GUI, etc)
[08:52] <wols> ok then. boot a windows XP cd. run fixboot and you're done
[08:52] <qman> azlon, there's another easy way out, though, you could install server with lamp then install the ubuntu base package
[08:52] <azlon> qman/Flannel: awesome, that sounds like what i want! should i just search Packet Manager for LAMP or do you recommend something?
[08:52] <azlon> hrmm...
[08:52] <wols> !lamp
[08:52] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:53] <idefixx> wols: well he said he wasnt abel to mount the windows part at all.. so im trying to figure out if it ok. i already told him to look for the win cd.

[09:07] <Aerotwelve1> I found it, thanks Freakingme
[09:07] <a|K|a> gravemind err nah
[09:07] <a|K|a> says wrong fs
[09:07] <a|K|a> bad option bad superblock
[09:07] <ticky> i need to use hdparm, and i need to reference to the hard drives as /dev/sdX the thing is.. that i reazlied that there in not such directory, and i checked, /etc/fstab adn the way it identifies the harddrives is by using the UUID, how can i reference to a directory instead?
[09:07] <wols> Genomsaren: you also need various -dev packages of gnome libraries as shown at the end
[09:08] <a|K|a> it is a ext3 filesystem
[09:08] <Freakingme> so there is no one that can tell me how I find what proces causes a lot of HD-activity?
[09:09] <Genomsaren> why they dont put these things in ubuntu as standard??? Or why they dont just compile these things...??? and make setups?
[09:09] <irbdavid> idefixx: okay, that sudo mount works
[09:09] <irbdavid> sorry bout the delay there

For reference, i have windows on a 2disk raid0 array, and linux on a separate 3rd drive.  I think the problem is that my windows 'drive' is really 2 drives in raid 0.  When i run fdisk -l it shows both individual disks, but not one that represents the raid.  So every time i try to mount sda1 (the first drive in the raid0 array) i j

[09:13] <sebas_> wols, eudoxos_: I mean a session that has been opened but it is not the one that I'm using
[09:13] <idefixx> Ropechoborra: but QoS does.
[09:13] <wols> sebas_: man kill, killall, pkill
[09:13] <froggy_> wols:  how ?
[09:13] <Ropechoborra> Didnt know :)
[09:13] <wols> Ropechoborra: it does
[09:13] <a|K|a> errr... guys, I am not trying to get ubuntu to work with windows at all
[09:14] <wols> Ropechoborra: well netfilter with tc. iptables is a netfilter control utility
[09:14] <wols> a|K|a: same steps
[09:14] <a|K|a> I am trying to mount a ubuntu filesystem so I can read files
[09:14] <a|K|a> ok
[09:14] <a|K|a> thanks
[09:14] <Freakingme> a|K|a en what is it, that doesn't work?
[09:14] <Freakingme> what software do you use to read the linux fs (ext3 in your case?)
[09:14] <wols> a|K|a: for installing grub. as for mounting: mount /dev/sdaX /mountpoint
[09:14] <a|K|a> haha guys... /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[09:14] <a|K|a> that is what I get if I try to boot my ubuntu
[09:14] <a|K|a> something went jacked
[09:15] <a|K|a> so I am reading to mount the drive after booting to livecd
[09:15] <wols> a|K|a: you sure the livecd hasn't already mounted it?

[09:17] <ticky> eudoxos_: do you know why sometime when i insert a cd it will mount it as /dev/scd0 (i assume it is using ide-scsi emulation here) and others it mounts it as /dev/hda. I'm having issues burning dvd iso images and one of the reasons i read is the use of ide-scsi emulation. thanks
[09:18] <C_Kode> I really like Ubuntu. but to make it any type of developers box and a major battle.
[09:18] <majnoon> apt-get -i *
[09:18] <majnoon> ??
[09:18] <jrib> C_Kode: not really, just install build-essential and any -dev pacakges for libraries you want to work with
[09:18] <lurke> hello world
[09:18] <a|K|a> C_Kode: what development are you doing?
[09:19] <ticky> helo lurke
[09:19] <Genomsaren> wols: I intalled install-essent...
[09:19] <ompaul> C_Kode, what it is very hard to install your $editor_de_jour and build-essential ?
[09:19] <Genomsaren> wols: what to do now?
[09:19] <a|K|a> I am a web developer and I totally enjoy ubuntu over window
[09:19] <sq89> hi! is there a way to let ubuntu recreate config files, just like it created them during the install? somehow dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg messed up the backup file too, and I'd like to return to the original configuration.
[09:19] <C_Kode> jrib: I've tried.  There are so many deps and those deps fail to compile.
[09:19] <jrib> C_Kode: you don't compile anything.  You install them through APT.
[09:19] <ompaul> C_Kode, you install the packages you need
[09:19] <C_Kode> I'm trying to install pygame.
[09:19] <eudoxos_> ticky: no idea for that, but with 2.6 kernels ide-scsi emulation for burning should really not be needed. Besides, burning tools will query HAL for devices and that will probably hide device name from you, you will just see manufacturer and model name or sth like that...
[09:19] <jrib> C_Kode: sudo aptitude install python-pygame      done
[09:19] <RedGhost> Okay so one day alsa disappeared from available sound devices for no reason and OSS is a bit broken with my laptop so I attempted to install from source and broke the installation procedure. Now volume manager tells me I have no sound devices/gstreamer plugins to configure and I have absolutely no sound, a little help? :)
[09:20] <C_Kode> E: Couldn't find package pygame
[09:20] <Panda200x> I have this problem with sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:20] <Panda200x> it tells me the package doesn't exist
[09:20] <jrib> C_Kode: that's the wrong package name
[09:20] <jrib> Panda200x: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:20] <Panda200x> Ok, what's the ubuntu pastebin? paste.ubuntu-nl.com or something?
[09:20] <ompaul>  C_Kode   python-pygame
[09:20] <hypn0> Panda200x: don't you need an s on end?
[09:21] <LjL> !pastebin > Panda200x    (Panda200x, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:21] <ticky> eudoxos_: well. the problem might be that ide-scsi emultation is set. i wan to turn that off completly
[09:21] <C_Kode> Nope, didn't work.  No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[09:21] <jrib> C_Kode: then you need to enable universe
[09:21] <dyoung_> I need some help with wpa_supplicant. Who is feelin' saucy?
[09:21] <jrib> !universe > C_Kode (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:21] <eudoxos_> ticky: isn't it just a kernel module? You need to find out why it gets loaded, perhaps listed in /etc/modules?
[09:21] <C_Kode> that was dumb :(
[09:22] <ticky> eudoxos_:  i don'tknow. i have never worked with the kernel
[09:22] <hypn0> Panda200x: no you don't :-)
[09:22] <eudoxos_> ticky:  OK, how did you enable it?
[09:22] <ticky> i didn't
[09:23] <ticky> eudoxos_: i am wonderig if it was enabled by default
[09:23] <C_Kode> It kept claiming I needed smpeg and freetype2.  I couldn't get either to compile.
[09:23] <jrib> C_Kode: you aren't listening.  You don't have to compile
[09:23] <ticky> eudoxos_: otherwise, when when i insert a cd it would mount it as /dev/scdX
[09:23] <C_Kode> jrib: I know.  I have it now.
[09:23] <Panda200x> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23775/
[09:23] <Panda200x> My sources.list
[09:23] <C_Kode> My problem was with freetype2 and smpeg
[09:24] <jrib> C_Kode: ok
[09:24] <tamgo> how do I extract multifile rar archives? I tried utilizing unrar-free and it didn't work. Ark supports the archive, but needs 'unrar' and that is nowhere to be found in the repository (yes, I have uncommented all the repositories in the sources.list).
[09:24] <jrib> Panda200x: everything is commented
[09:24] <Panda200x> oh
[09:24] <LjL> !info unrar | tamgo
[09:24] <eudoxos_> ticky: what do you get something from lsmod | grep ide-scsi?
[09:24] <ubotu> tamgo: unrar: Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.3-1 (feisty), package size 94 kB, installed size 228 kB
[09:24] <Panda200x> So I need to uncomment all of the apt sources?
[09:24] <LjL> !multiverse > tamgo    (tamgo, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:24] <irbdavid> okay, think i fixed it
[09:24] <irbdavid> thanks very much idefixx
[09:24] <C_Kode> jrib: thanks for the help.  (and everyone else that offered up help!)  It was appreciated
[09:24] <irbdavid> +others
[09:25] <jrib> C_Kode: np, much easier then chasing dependencies around eh?
[09:25] <irbdavid> wols: et al :D
[09:25] <C_Kode> jrib: dear god! ghah
[09:25] <ticky> eudoxos_: nothing
[09:25] <jrib> Panda200x: uncomment the ones you want/need
[09:25] <LjL> !easysource > Panda200x    (Panda200x, see the private message from Ubotu) | you might find it handier to just use this
[09:26] <ticky> eudoxos_: do you know where can i configure automount?
[09:26] <blazemonger> hi folks
[09:26] <eudoxos_> ticky: that means that the ide-scsi module is not loaded. Good.
[09:26] <tamgo> LjL, I have multiverse activated, I cannot see this package
[09:26] <blazemonger> Ubuntu fiesty is working great on my old dell notebook
[09:26] <RedGhost> Okay so one day alsa disappeared from available sound devices for no reason and OSS is a bit broken with my laptop so I attempted to install from source and broke the installation procedure. Now volume manager tells me I have no sound devices/gstreamer plugins to configure and I have absolutely no sound. I am fairly new to this and don't want to have to reformat and lose all my data I need someone to walk me through fixing this issue.
[09:27] <blazemonger> but on my desktop system ubuntu hates my video card which is a rage 128 so i use debian
[09:27] <LjL> tamgo: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[09:27] <eudoxos_> ticky: I vaguely remember that in recent kernels, even ATA devices are accessed in the same way as SATA ones, which show up ad /dev/sd?
[09:27] <ticky> eudoxos_: i don't know what to do then, because i'm wasteing 1 out of 3 DVDS when i try to burn them
[09:27] <blazemonger> how safe is it to use the PLF repositories..does it have the capability to break things?
[09:27] <virusa> hi all from Georgia
[09:27] <Aerotwelve1> Hey everyone, how do I add wireless drivers to make them work with my wireless card? I believe these are native: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
[09:27] <ticky> eudoxos_: i didn't get your question
[09:27] <blazemonger> virusa: mississippi here
[09:28] <virusa> :D
[09:28] <ticky> hi virusa
[09:28] <blazemonger> virusa: small world man
[09:28] <Aerotwelve1> Native means I won't have to mess with ndiswrapper, right?
[09:28] <eudoxos_> ticky: I would think your problem is not related to that. But I have no experience in burning DVDs at all. Don't you set burner's speed too high? What symptoms do you have?
[09:28] <logixoul> hi. how do I make all files that are owned by www-data readable by my user?
[09:28] <virusa> can anyone help me with ubuntu ?
[09:28] <dyoung_> I need some help with wpa_supplicant. Who is feelin' saucy?
[09:28] <blazemonger> virusa: what do you need help with? I'm a newbie to ubuntu but i can try
[09:28] <erUSUL> !anyone | virusa
[09:28] <ubotu> virusa: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:28] <virusa>  <ubotu> sorry
[09:29] <tamgo> LjL: http://paste.uni.cc/16042
[09:29] <ticky> eudoxos_:  i use k3b, i set it to burn 5 dvd and it might burn 2 ok and in the third one  it will screw up. the dvd-r's are 16x and i set it to 16x (not auto).. some work. some others don't
[09:29] <logixoul> virusa: uBOTu is a bot ;)
[09:29] <dyoung_> I get a "could not get status from wpa_supplicant" when I run wpa_gui
[09:29] <ticky> eudoxos_: and it's a 4.7 dvd iso image i'm burning
[09:29] <eudoxos_> ticky:  sorry, it was supposed to be /dev/sd?. (meaning: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc.) Otherwise said: /dev/sd[something]  devices are not necessarily SCSI, they might be SATA or even ATA.
 ouch :D
[09:29] <Genomsaren> all: anybody know how to update Glib or gobject?
[09:30] <xjkx> IF i havent root user i cant use cupsd, how do i do when it asks for root password
[09:30] <Aerotwelve1> No one knows how to add native linux wireless drivers to make them work?
[09:30] <Panda200x> Ok, I made the sources.list from source-o-matic, and it's still presenting me E: Couldn't find package build-essential
[09:30] <xjkx> to add a print
[09:30] <erUSUL> virusa: just ask your question, do not ask to ask a question ;)
[09:30] <logixoul> xjkx: try your password
[09:30] <eudoxos_> ticky: No idea here. Perhaps if you get verbose output from cdrecord (or what it is called, the backend that does the burning) you might be able to get some insight.
[09:30] <wols> Aerotwelve1: depends on the chipset
[09:30] <Panda200x> and I replaced it too, with a backup
[09:30] <virusa> i have a problem with compilation
[09:30] <zabi1> hey
[09:30] <xjkx> To add a printer
[09:30] <xjkx> On ubuntu
[09:30] <hydan> what's this guy using? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvYSZ6zPoac
[09:30] <jrib> Panda200x: did you run 'sudo apt-get update'?
[09:30] <xjkx> !printer
[09:31] <zabi1> has anyone ever used ndisgtk?
[09:31] <Panda200x> Oh wait
[09:31] <Panda200x> fixed
[09:31] <Panda200x> :D
[09:31] <xjkx> !cupsd
[09:31] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[09:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cupsd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:31] <erUSUL> Aerotwelve1: instruction on how to install those driver are on the web site afaik
[09:31] <hydan> it's not the typical beryl configuration.
[09:31] <Aerotwelve1> wols: Well, http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ is the link to my drivers. From what I know, they're native.  I'll check.
[09:31] <virusa>  <erUSUL> can you help me with compilation /?
[09:31] <johnficca2> ok so I tried to upgrade to the new ati driver witch was a bad idea cuz I couldn't get it to work, so I reinstalled the xorg-driver-fglrx and now I can't get the ubuntu one to work like it was before...can someone help?
[09:31] <wols> Aerotwelve1: and what is the problem you have?
[09:31] <Genomsaren> wols: you are back
[09:31] <LjL> tamgo: there is a problem in that sources.list, although it's probably not the reason why you can't find unrar. fix it, anyway: feisty-updates is enabled for main and restricted, but not for universe and multiverse. fixed version: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23776/
[09:31] <ticky> eudoxos_: i still don't understand your question. i have one SATA disk which is /dev/sdb and a IDE drive which is /dev/sda and for hte cdrom fstab has this: /dev/scd0  /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[09:31] <Genomsaren> wols: I intalled install-essent... what shall I do now?
[09:32] <logixoul> Guys, how do I make everything that is owned by www-data readable by logixoul?
[09:32] <erUSUL> Aerotwelve1: you will need 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential'
[09:32] <tamgo> LjL, thanks, let me check it out
[09:32] <hydan> logixoul: yes, well, :P I didn't realize 3ddesktop was an actual program, perhaps if i'd googled.
[09:32] <wols> Genomsaren: install the -dev packages for the libs it wants
[09:32] <LjL> tamgo: as for the problem at hand, type  sudo apt-get update  and tell me if you see anything resembling an error. then type  apt-cache policy unrar
[09:32] <qman> zabi1, tried it once, don't recommend it
[09:32] <Aerotwelve1> erUSUL: Okay, I'll try that.
[09:32] <hydan> logixoul:  but thanks for pointing it out
[09:32] <Genomsaren> wols: i cant install them wi
[09:32] <Genomsaren> wols: i cant install them with apt-get install command
[09:32] <logixoul> hydan: np :)
[09:33] <ticky> eudoxos_: but i read this in several forums. people are having trouble burning iso images bigger than 2.1GB
[09:33] <eudoxos_> ticky: misunderstanding, it was not a question. You can check ls -l /dev/scd1, I think it will be symlink to /dev/something, which is the real device. scd stands for SCSI CD (again, SCSI may actually mean also (S)ATA as well).
[09:33] <johnficca2> now the restricted drivers manager tells me my hardware dosen't need any restricted drivers, witch it dose.
[09:34] <zabi1> anyone ever use ndisgtk
[09:34] <johnficca2> what do I do
[09:34] <tamgo> LjL: I am getting an erorr, check it out: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23778/
[09:34] <a|K|a> well cdfisk had to fix that partition and now I am rocking :)
[09:34] <eudoxos_> ticky: in that case, you should file a bug if you don't get solution in the forums... I know that problem with many ubuntu forums is that people post things like "yes, I have this problem also" or "I tried ... and it worked, but I don't know what it does!"
[09:35] <LjL> tamgo: edit sources.list again and switch to another mirror (for instance, se.archive.ubuntu.com instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com)
[09:35] <ticky> eudoxos_: ls: /dev/scd1: No such file or directory
[09:35] <hagabaka> it would be nice if gdebi had a KDE/Qt UI too
[09:36] <ticky>  i might ironically end up burning the ubuntu dvds under windows
[09:36] <johnficca2> should I do a reinstall ?
[09:36] <ticky> eudoxos_:  i might ironically end up burning the ubuntu dvds under windows
[09:36] <eudoxos_> ticky: sorry, I mistyped what you have in fstab... /dev/scd0 is it.
[09:36] <ticky> eudoxos_: yes. i tried it and same thing
[09:36] <LjL> tamgo: then try sudo apt-get update again (if it works, you can then probably switch back to the US mirrors if you prefer; changing mirrors is just a trick to make apt-get work, really)
[09:36] <tamgo> LjL: change ALL us entries for se entries?
[09:37] <LjL> tamgo: yes. search&replace is your friend ;)
[09:37] <ticky> eudoxos_: well. but i have inserted a blank DVD..
[09:37] <ticky> which is not mounted
[09:37] <tamgo> LjL, yeah, just wanted to make sure. Let me give it a try...
[09:37] <eudoxos_> johnficca2: you may have X configuration backed up in /etc/X11.
[09:37] <virusa> help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[09:37] <johnficca2> eudoxos_: what do you mean ? what should I do ?
[09:37] <eudoxos_> ticky: you cannot mount, you need raw device access fro burning. Once burned, you can mount.
[09:38] <qman> virusa, ask your question; things like "help me" or "will anyone help?" don't give us any information
[09:38] <eX|Joe> If anyone is willing to help me with the step by step process of installing webgui, i would really appreciate it!
[09:39] <ticky> eudoxos_: i have inserted another cd an it was automounted as /dev/hda
[09:39] <eudoxos_> ticky: I am probably unable to help you. Burn in under windows then and look at bugs.launchpad.net if there is bug filed. If not, do it. People will help you (hopefully)
[09:39] <tamgo> LjL, that worked, thanks!
[09:39] <erUSUL> virusa: use erUSUL: or i may miss your msgs what are you trying to compile ??
[09:39] <johnficca2> when I run fglrxinfo it says something about Mesa not ati

[09:43] <francescofemi> how can i save my data?
[09:43] <pot> johnficca2 : the installer did.   check the date.   also make sure it's fglrx as the driver in the xorg.conf and the composite extention is 0
[09:43] <froggy_> so  SlimeyPete what i can do?
[09:44] <johnficca2> pot: ok
[09:44] <SlimeyPete> froggy_: sorry, I was talking to francescofemi, not you
[09:44] <eudoxos_> ticky:  there is faster way (but will not be preserved after reboot, contrary to the first one: sudo hdparm /dev/hda -d1)
[09:44] <MISTERTibbs> parition is corrupt.  I suggest you reinstall with same partition sizes.  that should retain your data
[09:44] <froggy_> =(
[09:44] <SlimeyPete> francescofemi: try booting the livecd, see if it can mount any partitions
[09:44] <SlimeyPete> francescofemi: it may not be able to, though
[09:44] <qman> pot, in regard to johnficca2's problem, I've had the ati installer create duplicate devices instead of making the correct changes; you might want to look into that
[09:44] <pot> francescofemi : boot from live cdrom - go into terminal - type grub - type root (hd0,0) - type setup (hd0) - reboot
[09:44] <francescofemi> it can't mount my okt my old partition
[09:44] <eudoxos_> ticky:  it runs the same command, but the method described at ubuntuguide will ensure it is being done at every reboot for you.
[09:45] <johnficca2> the installer did make a backup, I just looked
[09:45] <MISTERTibbs> pot: that idea is even better than mine!  I'll have to remember it.  thank you.
[09:45] <johnficca2> didn't*
[09:45] <Aerotwelve1> Hey, can the person who told me to run  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential contact me again?
[09:45] <pot> francescofemi - if that doesnt work try root(hd0,1) instead
[09:45] <johnficca2> did not*

[09:48] <francescofemi> but the grub was on hda0
[09:48] <Aerotwelve1> Can anyone here help me with installing these drivers? http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ Will running the makefile set it up for me, or will I need to use ndiswrapper?
[09:48] <RedGhost> ok thanks
[09:48] <Aerotwelve1> They're native linux drivers, fyi.
[09:48] <pot> francescofemi : if you do what i explained in the grub shell it will work
[09:49] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: ipw 1395 drivers are native for linux, it has nothing to do wth ndiswrapper.
[09:49] <MISTERTibbs> pot: is there a wiki or url for your method??
[09:49] <francescofemi> it gives me an error:file not found
[09:49] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1:  They are also included in default kernel builds for feisty and if you isntall restricted-modules package, you will get the firmware IIRC also, so everything should work out-of-box.
[09:49] <pot> MisterTibbs : it's on the grub.org docs
[09:49] <francescofemi> and if i try with hda0,1 it's an unrecognized comman
[09:49] <pot> MisterTibbs learning grub commands is very helpfull most of the time =]
[09:50] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: How can I install that? My wireless card isn't working out of the box, I'm on a wired connection at the moment. Thanks for your help.
[09:50] <MISTERTibbs> true!  thanks again
[09:50] <pot> francescofemi not hda0,0  its hd0,0

[09:54] <francescofemi> ok i'll try
[09:54] <francescofemi> let's see
[09:54] <francescofemi> see you later if not
[09:54] <Ropechoborra> Is there a way to install Ubuntu without haveing a CD drive? (and without USB Boot)
[09:55] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: I just looked at the driver is in feisty's kernel (2.6.20-15-generic). The modules is called ipw3945.ko. Try running "lspci  grep Intel" and "dmesg  |grep 3945", that should tell you something
[09:55] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: yes, use wubi
[09:55] <Pelo> carlos, find a music file,  right click properties,  open with ,  select xmms,   repeat for each file type
[09:55] <Ropechoborra> logixoul wubi ? whats that?
[09:55] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[09:55] <LjL> !wubi > Ropechoborra    (Ropechoborra, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:55] <qman> Ropechoborra, if you have a network card, you can use netboot to boot the live CD
[09:55] <Ropechoborra> Thanks! =)
[09:56] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: on the other hand, if you don't use Windows, you can use a VM like VMWare to emulate the install CD iso
[09:56] <logixoul> np
[09:56] <LjL> Ropechoborra: that requires a Windows installation, however.
[09:56] <pot> carlos : Wubi installs over Windows - so you're still using NTFS filesystem as the base, correct?
[09:56] <francescofemi> partition table invalid or corrupt: what does it mean?
[09:56] <agent> How do I make X register the "menu" key on a Thinkpad? xev does not show the correct keycode and there does not seem to be a working keyboard layout.
[09:56] <carlos> Pelo, ups thanks that I did it already, now I want to set xmms as my predeterminated player, it was amarok before
[09:56] <qman> francescofemi, it means exactly what it says, your partition table is corrupt
[09:57] <carlos> Pelo, with my keyboard
[09:57] <logixoul> pot: why ask carlos?
[09:57] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: Hmm, those didn't seem to do much. Typing in the lspci brings up the standard syntax  helper screen, and the dmesg |grep command just yielded a blank screen. Any thoughts?
[09:57] <Pelo> carlos, try in  menu > system > prefs > removable media, and favorite apps
[09:57] <Ropechoborra> I do need the .iso file with Wubi, dont i ?

[09:57] <ama-deus13> i get troubles recording dvd-rw in ubuntu. i download some stuff for my friend, record it to his dvd-rw and then he uses it in windows. problem is that i can't erase that dvd. even being erased in nero it just doesn't want to record. how can i fix this? thank you
[09:57] <Pelo> carlos, with the keyboard taht would probably involve a keybaord short cut,   check in the forum
[09:58] <francescofemi> so what can i do?
[09:58] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: wubi downloads the necessary data.
[09:58] <carlos> logixoul, ok sorry, I will try it the best way the next time
[09:58] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1:  just type "lspci", it should list your PCI devices...?
[09:58] <francescofemi> havehave i got any chance of recuperating my data?
[09:58] <Ropechoborra> Uhmm.. but if i dont got internet?
[09:58] <francescofemi> or should i just format?
[09:58] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: Yep, that works. Do you want the output?
[09:58] <MISTERTibbs> francesco your data is still there don't be quick to reformat
[09:59] <ScottAS> Can someone kindly aid me with the installation of a NETGEAR WG511 V2 Wi-Fi Adapter?
[09:59] <logixoul> pot: afaik wubi makes ubuntu use a file (located on a ntfs/fat partition) that acts as a virtual ext3 partition
[09:59] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1:  look at the line that has Intel something, that's the one we need.

[09:59] <Pelo> francescofemi, then your data is gone
[09:59] <francescofemi> and i remember having 3 partitions on m,y sda disk
[10:00] <MISTERTibbs> ubotu
[10:00] <qman> francescofemi, if you've done anything to the drive since that happened, recovery is extremely unlikely to be possible with mere software
[10:00] <francescofemi> only now the partitionner recognizes only one partition, and it is unallocated space
[10:00] <Pelo> francescofemi,  if you had your /home folder on a seperate partition then the one ubuntu was installed on you just need to mount it again to recover your data, if your data was on the same partition as ubuntu the data is gone
[10:00] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1:  paste it somewhere.
[10:00] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23780/ Thats my lspci output, it has alot of lines with Intel in it.
[10:00] <francescofemi> if i teke out the disk and link it as usb, is there a possibility of saving data?
[10:01] <qman> francescofemi, that won't help

[10:03] <kalon33> phy
[10:03] <LjL> lockd et al, maybe if the partition table is corrupt, but the filesystem itself is still intact under the hoods, a tool like testdisk - which just tries to reconstruct the partition table - would be best to try first. then photorec, magicrescue or foremost (which i just discovered)
[10:03] <kalon33> *hello
[10:03] <lockd> supposing both actually work - I have only had luck with qemu
[10:03] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: that device is not supported, hence you will need to do that nediswrapper hell.
[10:03] <pot> lockd : vmware server has problems with feisty... but there is a work-around
[10:03] <LjL> lockd: vmware mostly. qemu is free, on the other hand.
[10:03] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: The broadcom device? Hmm, it says thats what this laptop ships with...
[10:04] <lockd> I tried the workaround, and bleh - it built the modules but Windows bugged out the instant it booted
[10:04] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: it works well for some people though; search the web, there is plenty of ndsiwrapper and feisty howtos I bet.
