[14:15] <xerxes1358> I need to find a manual that guides me
[14:15] <ubotu> bobbob1016: screen: a terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-0.4ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 574 kB, installed size 984 kB
[14:15] <pulse00> scguy318, i copied the content of the iso to the usb-stick and made it bootable using syslinux -f /dev/sde1, but when booting from it, i get "no operation system found" or something, displayed too short to remember
[14:15] <fenix_> wols: because in my local channel (spanish) people are stupid
[14:15] <bullgard4> fenix_: Some problems are Debian-specific, other problems are common to Ubuntu and Debian. Is your
[14:15] <ksivaji> bullgard4 i have router and using DHCP how re-program your router for another address of your computer. ?
[14:15] <Jowi> !screen | bobbob1016 (some nice links)
[14:15] <ubotu> bobbob1016 (some nice links): screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[14:15] <wols> you seem to be able to talk english just fine. use #debian then
[14:15] <bazhang> xerxes1358: something like reconstructor?
[14:15] <bobbob1016> Jowi, Thanks
[14:15] <fenix_> wols: ok ,thanks
[14:16] <vwhydrowv> im trying to get ntfs-3g configured, its mounting the hd, but im not seeing the mount point in fstab, can someone please help me with this?
[14:16] <xerxes1358> bazhang: no idea what that is.
[14:16] <xerxes1358> Is there no fdisk ?
[14:16] <WorkingOnWise> got my ppl mixed up. sorry xerxes1358
[14:16] <bobbob1016> xerxes1358, If you want to partition the drive first, there is a gparted live disc
[14:16] <th0r> Jowi see...learn something new every day <smile>
[14:16] <wols> vwhydrowv: in fstab only "static" mounts are listed. if it's dynamic, some form of automounter handles it. check your /etc/mtab
[14:17] <mahogny> is there a way to get a raw list of names of PCI devices? that is not affected by detection? a kernel module doesn't want to load and I want to see if the card is working at all
[14:17] <bazhang> http://code.google.com/p/reconstructor/ xerxes1358
[14:17] <Jowi> th0r, yeah screen is an incredible thing once you get used to it.
[14:17] <vwhydrowv> wols, can i assign it a static mount?
[14:17] <xerxes1358> bobbob1016: ok I have an 80gb disc. What to make first ? Guide me through pleae
[14:17] <th0r> Jowi installing it now...a new toy
[14:17] <bobbob1016> xerxes1358, Do you have data on it?
[14:18] <savage1> question:  I'm following these ltsp setup instructions, and the step here wants me to run this command "sudo invoke-rc.d nfs-kernel-server restar"
[14:18] <vwhydrowv> and if so, how
[14:18] <savage1> w/ the t at the end, my bad
[14:18] <bullgard4> ksivaji: This will be dependent on your specific router, how to program your router. With me at home, I would have to enter a special address in my Internet browser to access my router and re-program it. But it may differ with your router.
[14:18] <xerxes1358> bobbob1016: no nothing important just vista :D
[14:18] <savage1> but anyways, I get unknown initscript
[14:18] <b4ckd00red> hi all!
[14:18] <IanLiu> How do I start the Ubuntu Finder (to look for files) with root permitions?
[14:19] <vwhydrowv> backdoored, hrm that must of been painful, hehe
[14:19] <b4ckd00red> gksudo?
[14:19] <b4ckd00red> vwhydrowv: ????
[14:19] <IanLiu> I never used GKSudo... how I use it?
[14:19] <vwhydrowv> u know what backdoored means?
[14:19] <b4ckd00red> yes
[14:19] <vwhydrowv> ok
[14:19] <b4ckd00red> because i write rootkits
[14:20] <IanLiu> !gksudo
[14:20] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[14:20] <vwhydrowv> no ill msg u another meaning
[14:20] <kbrooks> b4ckd00red, we cannot help you
[14:20] <b4ckd00red> should r00t ur box? lol
[14:20] <wols> vwhydrowv: yes. mount it by UUID (I guess it's a usb drive or such)
[14:20] <bobbob1016> xerxes1358, Not sure how good linux partitioners are with ntfs on vista yet, if you don't want it, which I might guess from your smiley face, then my usual partition scheme is 10-20 for /, at least equal to the amount of physical ram for the swap partition, then the rest for /home.  Keeping /home on a separate partition allows you to reinstall without losing data, although I read hardy is going to do this anyways
[14:20] <vwhydrowv> wols yes it is
[14:20] <wols> vwhydrowv: if it's a internal partition you should mount it via fstab even (imho).
[14:20] <b4ckd00red> kbrooks: ASKED?
[14:21] <xerxes1358> bobbob1016: thanks. Is reiserfs now at version 4? How does it compare to xfs ? How fast /reliable is it? Is there support for ntfs / windows
[14:22] <vwhydrowv> wols, u got the command?
[14:22] <alsadk> اهلا
[14:22] <wols> vwhydrowv: command for what?
[14:22] <crocd> WorkingOnWise: Yesit is, I had the same setup on feisty and it didnt have this problem
[14:22] <bidossessi> how do i check for/start/stop  running services in ubuntu? /etc/init.d?
[14:22] <wols> xerxes1358: you do not want to use reiserfs 4
[14:23] <wols> bidossessi: yes
[14:23] <vwhydrowv> im a newb man, is there a command for statically assigning it
[14:23] <wols> vwhydrowv: no
[14:23] <vwhydrowv> backdoor did u see my msg
[14:23] <mianhuatang> hello!
[14:23] <vwhydrowv> ?
[14:23] <xerxes1358> wols: for what reasons/
[14:23] <crocd> as      you can  see it adds or doesnt add spaces randomlyand then will repeat until I interupt they repeat
[14:23] <wols> xerxes1358: it's not stable enough to use
[14:23] <bobbob1016> xerxes1358, I'm not that knowledgeable with filesystems, as in which is better, I use ext2 and ext3 since I know linux knows them inside and out.  I have data on fat32 and ntfs, since I dualboot occasionally.
[14:23] <spee> does the ATI driver from the ATI site work properly? is true transparency working with ATI cards and these drivers?
[14:23] <IanLiu> what is the command to launch "Search for Files..."?
[14:23] <b4ckd00red> sup gayboy
[14:23] <spee> does the ATI driver from the ati website for the mobility x1400 work with compiz and compositing windows?
[14:24] <vwhydrowv> backdoor, i responded to u
[14:24] <vwhydrowv> not sure why u didnt see it
[14:24] <vwhydrowv> ok anyways
[14:24] <xerxes1358> back in the days reiserfs 3 was much faster than ext3. How is the performance these days ? Is the reiserfs that comes in installation version 3 ?
[14:24] <Trollinator> does the ubuntu 7.10 live CD include ndiswrapper?
[14:25] <Trollinator> xerxes1358: yes, that's reiserfs3
[14:25] <WorkingOnWise> crocd: i would plug the keyboard directly into the compouter, or the kvm into another computer, just to be positive it isnt the kvm.
[14:25] <vwhydrowv> back on topic, so how do i go about making it a static drive wols, what do i have to do?
[14:25] <mianhuatang> have any chinese here`
[14:25] <th0r> !ch
[14:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ch - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:26] <crocd> WorkingOnWise: I know it isnt the kvm as I have thison a xp desktop and this doesnt happen on that.
[14:26] <bullgard4> IanLiu: Do you refer to Gnome_Search_Tool? Gnome Search Tool does not need a special root permission.
[14:26] <mianhuatang> 有中国人不？
[14:26] <bidossessi> mianhuatang, unfortunately no
[14:26] <IanLiu> bullgard4: I know, but I want to Remove the found files
[14:27] <bullgard4> IanLiu: gnome-search-tool is no tool to remove found files. You will need the command (sudo) rm

[14:27] <th0r> Jowi I knew it was there someplace
[14:27] <IanLiu> bullgard4: but, how do I recursively search for files in a tree of folders?
[14:28] <bullgard4> IanLiu: sudo rm -r <directoryname>
[14:28] <bullgard4> IanLiu: But be careful!
[14:29] <mianhuatang> THINK
[14:29] <th0r> IanLiu no....rm will REMOVE the files...to search use 'find <start folder> -n <filename>
[14:29] <IanLiu> bullgard4: but that will search in all folders?
[14:29] <jimbo> !ubotu regular expression
[14:29] <bullgard4> IanLiu: no.
[14:29] <th0r> IanLiu or better yet...install the find-utils so you can use locate
[14:29] <jimbo> !ubotu regex
[14:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about regex - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:30] <IanLiu> th0r: Ok, I will try find utils ;)
[14:30] <jimbo> !ubotu find regex
[14:30] <ubotu> Found: kregexpeditor, libregexp-java, libxml-regexp-perl, cl-regex, ghc6 (and 13 others)
[14:30] <Trollinator> does the ubuntu 7.10 live CD include ndiswrapper?
[14:30] <jimbo> !ubotu find regular\ expression
[14:30] <ubotu> Package/file regular\ does not exist in gutsy
[14:31] <jimbo> !ubotu find "regular expression"

[14:31] <werpo> excuse me can somebody help me out?
[14:31] <bullgard4> Trollinator: No.
[14:31] <amorphous__> hey guys - i'm stuck with resolution problems after a gutsy upgrade. Have managed to get 1280x1024 on one user account, but need the name of the screen res setting app to change the others. can anyone tell me the command to open the graphics/screen resolution app?
[14:31] <Trollinator> bullgard4: thx.
[14:31] <th0r> werpo be specific
[14:31] <Trollinator> werpo: don't ask to ask, ask.
[14:32] <werpo> well, ive just installed enlightenment and i cant manage to channnnge my desktop backgroud
[14:32] <th0r> amorphous__  what you really should do is add the proper modeline in xorg.conf so the resolution is available to all users at bootup
[14:32] <IanLiu> Ok, I did it, but with gnome-search-tool :)
[14:33] <th0r> werpo If I remember correctly you need esetroot...but that was for e16
[14:33] <Nexus6> list
[14:33] <Nexus6> \list
[14:33] <IanLiu> thank you guys
[14:33] <khamael> is there a moon phase applet for gnome?
[14:33] <amorphous__> th0r, i've used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, the resolution takes, bu
[14:33] <amorphous__> th0r, (sorry) but only on the account that I've set it in the screen res app.
[14:34] <amorphous__> th0r, think I changed a few whilst googling yesterday... am really regretting the gutsy upgrade :(
[14:34] <werpo> thor; i'm using e 17
[14:35] <th0r> amorphous__ I would hit google and check how to set the default resolution....it should be possible to set it up without having to change each user individually
[14:35] <th0r> werpo do you have esetroot in e17?
[14:35] <jimbo> IanLiu: sorry this is late, you want to use find have a look here  for some examples http://www.linux.ie/newusers/beginners-linux-guide/find.php
[14:35] <werpo> thor: nope i dont have it
[14:35] <tinin> Could I limit the wireless traffic in my router with any application?
[14:36] <th0r> werpo ok...didn't know how much was changed in 17.
[14:36] <amorphous__> th0r, google seems to be full of people with gutsy resolution problems, but none of their fixes are helping me :( - still - i'll give it a go ;)
[14:36] <werpo> ok, i have e16 as well, will try using esetroot
[14:36] <amorphous__> th0r, cheers
[14:36] <kaenel> is there a package for the "eclipse c/c++" editor?
[14:36] <werpo> thanks
[14:37] <bidossessi> is there a howto available for turning my desktop into a hotspot? (madwifi)
[14:38] <spee> does the ATI driver from the ati website for the mobility x1400 work correctly with compiz?
 you can search the package manager for it with the command apt-cache search eclipse
[14:39] <amorphous__> th0r, what i realy could do with is the name of the app to adjust the screen res...?
[14:40] <th0r> amorphous__ I use xfce ...not sure what it would be in gnome or kde
[14:40] <amorphous__> Anyone know the screen and graphics setting tool name/command?
[14:40] <amorphous__> for gnome
[14:40] <amorphous__> ok - thanks th0r
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is one way

[14:41] <vwhydrowv> im trying to setup a ntfs read/write drive
[14:42] <vwhydrowv> but since its a usb drive its not statically mounting it
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > vwhydrowv
[14:42] <bidossessi> vwhydrowv, why don't u use a linux fs like ext2/3
[14:42] <evil_kevin> apt-get install ntfs-3g?
[14:42] <evil_kevin> not very hard
[14:42] <amorphous__> it's a shame that ubuntu dont use the app name in the titlebar... would educate the people...
[14:43] <Arthur37854> what command do i use to delete all files, in a folder, in a terminal window
[14:43] <vwhydrowv> sorry about that, bidossessi, its already formatted with ntfs with too much data on it
 rm *

[14:43] <th0r> amorphous__ you can usually discover it by opening a terminal, doing a 'ps ax', opening the app, then doing another 'ps ax' to see what is new
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> vwhydrowv: Are you running gutsy?
[14:44] <vwhydrowv> yes
[14:44] <vwhydrowv> and ntfs config
[14:44] <vwhydrowv> but its still not allowing read/write access for the drive
[14:44] <fsufitch> hey guys, i have a problem. any gtk2 or gtk application i run crashes with a segmantation fault. wtf is going wrong?!
[14:44] <Jack_Sparrow> vwhydrowv: You should just be able to enable ntfs write and read is already enabled unless there is an issue with the ntfs-usb

[14:45] <_mug> hey
 change the UUI in /etc/fstab to reference the device through /dev/
[14:45] <vwhydrowv> how can i tell?
[14:45] <_mug> can someone recommend a good bittorrent-gui for gnome?
[14:46] <vwhydrowv> jimbo, there is no files in etc/stab
[14:46] <B-rabbit> hi
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> _mug: you mean something like frostwire?
[14:46] <fsufitch> _mug: i would have said ktorrent, but that's kde ;)
[14:46] <vwhydrowv> etc/fstab i mean
[14:46] <Jowi> _mug, transmission
[14:46] <fsufitch> it still runs on gnome though
[14:46] <xerxes1358> Is this normal : The Close, minimize and maximize buttons on screens are VERY large and out of proportions
[14:46] <evil_kevin> transmission - free, lightweight BitTorrent client
[14:46] <xobius> _mug, Azureus run in java
[14:47] <wols> vwhydrowv: have you tried adding your ntfs drive to your /etc/fstab?
[14:47] <B-rabbit> Jack_Sparrow, i just downloaded frostwire just now :)
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[14:47] <xerxes1358> he my installation seems to hang at CONFIGURING APT (scanning mirrors) What to do now??
[14:47] <B-rabbit> Jack_Sparrow, do they have an irc channel
[14:47] <stianol> k
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: Have you modified your sources?
[14:47] <vwhydrowv> wols, as i just said to jimbo i just looked for files in /etc/fstab and it said no such file or directory
[14:47] <fsufitch> so anybody hear my question? i can't run any gtk2 apps (tried gftp, pidgin, xchat, switch2). after a second of loading and possibly launching a window, they crash with a segmentation fault. any ideas?
[14:48] <stianol> could someone please help me with configuring a wireless connection in ubuntu 7.10?
[14:48] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: I have no idea what you are talking about so I guess no.
[14:48] <Jack_Sparrow> B-rabbit: I would think so..  But I doubt it is very active
[14:48] <B-rabbit> ok
 it is the file (have to have the / at the front as well), you said it was mounting but wanted it to mount "statically"
[14:48] <th0r> fsufitch check the dependencies...give me a sec
[14:48] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: Have you ever run a program called Automatix or Envy...  both bad ideas..
[14:48] <chymera> one quick question, what does ubuntu use to write on ntfs file systems?
[14:48] <wols> vwhydrowv: /etc/fstab is a file. a single file. and if you don't have that file you are not running any linux (or unix) I'd say. are you on windows?
[14:48] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: no not that I know
[14:49] <chymera> that 3g stuff, or the kernel option?
[14:49] <evil_kevin> Automatix has some serious bugs..
[14:49] <vwhydrowv> oh ok
[14:49] <fsufitch> th0r: how would i do that?
[14:49] <stianol> anyone experience with wireless on ubuntu?
[14:49] <xerxes1358> I have nt run any automatix or envy. So what to do next ?
[14:49] <wols> chymera: ntfs-3g
[14:49] <vwhydrowv> i thought it was a directory, my bad
[14:49] <Jack_Sparrow> evil_kevin: Automatix is more evil than you.. :)
[14:49] <evil_kevin> :)
[14:49] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list    to see your sources
[14:49] <xerxes1358> stianol: I do. I just install ubuntu. Workded perfectly
[14:49] <evil_kevin> lol
[14:49] <chymera> wols so all ubuntu kernels have write support for ntfs turned off in them?
[14:49] <jimbo> vwhydrowv you can edit by gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[14:50] <Exploit> hi there
[14:50] <fsufitch> th0r: apt-get check doesn't return anything special
[14:50] <vwhydrowv> jimbo, im not seeing a uuid for it there
[14:50] <wols> chymera: no linux kernel has (working) ntfs write support. ntfs-3g uses FUSE, userspace filesystems
[14:50] <bobb13> hi
[14:50] <Exploit> can someone tell me how to create a tar archive and zip it after that? (*.tar.gz)
[14:50] <jimbo> vwhydrowv so is it monting or not?
[14:50] <bobb13> anyone can help with firefox - ubuntu problem?
[14:50] <wols> Exploit: tar -czvf
[14:50] <th0r> fsufitch give me a sec
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> vwhydrowv: HAve you enabled automount of removeable media?
[14:50] <stianol> xerxes: I seems like the wlan card is found, but when i try to get the network up I don't get a ip address from the DHCP server.. and using static addresses does not work either
[14:50] <chymera> wols, aham ok, I was just compiling a kernel over here and wondered if I'm gonna need the write-support option
[14:51] <wols> Exploit: -c creates a tar, -z gzips it
[14:51] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: Ok I am in. Now what ?
[14:51] <stianol> xerxes: and I have installed the server version (no GUI)
[14:51] <vwhydrowv> i see the drive in file browser so im assuming its mounting it has unmount option on the drive
[14:51] <xobius> bobb13, What's your problem?
[14:51] <Exploit> wols: I am getting errors
[14:51] <vwhydrowv> you have to excuse me guys, im brand new to linux, just started last night
[14:51] <Jord> hello
[14:51] <Exploit> I want to create a archive called MinutesToMidnight
[14:51] <Kanedacorp> hi, quick newbie question. I have ubuntu installed. If I installed Kubuntu would it replace my gnome environment or appear in the grub menu like a dual boot system?
[14:52] <vwhydrowv> i actually have been up all night trying to get this all working
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: shift ctrl-c to copy it and use the pastebin (see channel topic) paste it in there and give us the link
[14:52] <wols> Kanedacorp: neither.
[14:52] <jimbo> vwhydrowv use ctrl+f to search for the path you see in the browser
[14:52] <wols> Kanedacorp: you could run gnome or kde by choosing when logging in
[14:52] <th0r> fsufitch not sure how to check it in ubuntu. I have ub on my server, and don't see the dependencies in synaptic. In yast (suse on my laptop) the dependencies are listed for reference. I will pastebin the suse list for you
[14:52] <wols> Kanedacorp: both gnome and kde would be installed
[14:52] <Jord> i need help with LINUX, i installed it but when ever i start up my computer windows only starts up
[14:52] <nomasteryoda> Kanedacorp, it would be an option in the gdm that is there before login to the gui
[14:52] <vwhydrowv> the drive is in media/Drobo if thats what your asking
[14:52] <Kanedacorp> so I'd get an option at the login screen?
[14:52] <belsebubb> is ntop broken in gutsy ?
[14:53] <wols> th0r: dependencies for what?
[14:53] <Kanedacorp> ah cool, thanks :)
[14:53] <vwhydrowv> but in fstab im not seeing any uuid listed there for the drive
[14:53] <stianol> someone knows what the wmaster0 interface is?
[14:53] <Jord> i need help with LINUX, i installed it but when ever i start up my computer windows only starts up
[14:53] <wols> vwhydrowv: of course not. you are supposed to put it there
[14:53] <wols> Jord: what linux did you install? and how?
[14:53] <th0r> wols he can't run any gtk apps....I suspect libglibc or some such is not right
[14:53] <Jord> i386 using ISO
[14:53] <wols> th0r: apt-cache will do it
[14:53] <vwhydrowv> ok, thats where i was getting confused at
[14:54] <wols> vwhydrowv: fstab is a textfile you need to edit
[14:54] <th0r> fsufitch there you go...check into apt-cache
[14:54] <Kanedacorp> I have compiz fusion and dual screen enabled on gnome, would that need to be enabled seperately if I had KDE as well?
[14:54] <th0r> thanks wols
[14:54] <bidossessi> Jord, what distro did you install? ubuntu/opensuse/mandrake/...

[14:55] <bidossessi> Jord, did you install it or were you running it from the live cd
[14:55] <Kanedacorp> jord: did you install ubuntu to a different partition? I had that problem
[14:55] <th0r> fsufitch was talking to wols .....did you see his response? apt-cache will get you the dependencies in ubuntu
[14:55] <Jord> no, it said install so i did
[14:56] <Jord> anyone find me a guild?
[14:56] <vwhydrowv> jack_sparrow no but i will now
[14:56] <Jord> guide?
[14:56] <fsufitch> ooh ok
[14:56] <evil_kevin> u mean wow guild lol
[14:56] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: did you get it ?
[14:56] <Kanedacorp> I recommend blade of Emorus on Darkmoon faire ;)
[14:56] <ohcibi> obviously i was not hitting ctr+alt+backspace..... X just crashed, but theres no error in the log... it crashed after i was hitting f12 to let yakuake disappear, what could be wrong?
[14:56] <vwhydrowv> ok jack, what am i looking for in removable drives and media?
[14:56] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: Open synaptic and enable all of the sources in there.. you have (almost) nothing enabled)
[14:57] <aram> hi
[14:57] <th0r> fsufitch so as a start....check 'apt-cache showpkg pidgin' and you will see all the libs that program depends on. I suspect your problem involves a missing or corrupt lib file...something like libglibc or some such
[14:57] <Kanedacorp> jord, when I did it, the grub boot manager installed itself on the drive i specified for ubuntu but that wasn't the drive the computer looks to when it boots so it didn't see it
[14:57] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: It should then ask you to update the sources list .. which is needed...
[14:57] <fsufitch> th0r: brb
[14:57] <aram> can anyone help how can i change the text file i know cat command show the file what is the command in terminal that i can use to edit file
[14:57] <wols> fsufitch: have you tried "debsums"?
[14:57] <Jord> nah its not that i was running a LIVE session
[14:58] <ushimitsudoki> aram: nano
[14:58] <wols> aram: nano
[14:58] <th0r>  fsufitch run the apt-cache command for a few of the programs that crash and then check the common libs to make sure they are there
[14:58] <aram> wols: what is nano ?
[14:58] <vwhydrowv> mount removable media drives when hot-plugged, mount removable media when inserted. and browse removable media when inserted is all checked

[14:58] <aram> wols thanks
[14:59] <aram> wols: i want to change my router file i am telneting to router i can see the file with cat command and can i change it with nano?
[14:59] <fsufitch> wols: debsums?
[15:00] <aram> wols: my router does not accept nano
[15:00] <wols> aram: no. you are asking about your router, not ubuntu. when you telnet to another host you aren't running on your local computer anymore. you run on another one. this question (how to edit files on a non ubuntu machine) is off topic
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> vwhydrowv: I would assume something is up with that usb - ntfs partition...  you can go to a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l and see what shows up there
[15:01] <aram> wols: ok sorry
[15:01] <fsufitch> wols: what do you mean by debsums? (i dont even know what they are)
[15:02] <wols> fsufitch: it's a program
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: When you are done.. Look at your sources list and it should be very different
[15:03] <amorphous__> I'm still having issues with screen resolutions being 800x600 for three users, and 1280x1024 in the admin account.... why is this? it's a gutsy upgrade, ati Radeon xpress200 - this is after lots of fixing so far, but I need to set the res in the other accounts.
[15:03] <fsufitch> wols: ok running debsums
[15:03] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: some sources were added. Sweet I added some local ftp servers from my previous university. Sweet speeds: 10000kbit/sec :D

[15:05] <wols> PleegWat: you are wrong. your logfile has more for example
[15:05] <PleegWat> wols: Is there a key combo that'll kick it onto the command line so I can get at the log?
[15:06] <wols> PleegWat: ctrl+alt+f2
[15:06] <blip> does anyone know if you can set nautilus up so that different folders save yoru differen't viewing preferances? (like window height/width, arrange order, icons/details)
[15:06] <PleegWat> wols: Thanks, I'll try that and see what the log shows
[15:06] <dundel> thanks wols
[15:06] <dundel> and how do you quit
[15:06] <fsufitch> wols: so what do i do if debsums sez all of pidgin's libraries aer ok?

[15:07] <blip> gurth: i don't have tooltips when i mouse over a folder in nautilus
[15:07] <PleegWat> wols: Well what do you know. This time it does seem to get into X correctly.
[15:07] <wols> fsufitch: pray. you can use strace but I doubt it will help any since you won't understand its output
[15:07] <bidossessi> is ther a gui network admin tool? whatever changes i make don't reflect in ip a
[15:07] <Arthur37854> is there a way to keep the directory structure but delete all files inside of the folder and sub folders?,

[15:07] <sandrot> anyone here sporting a newish laptop that they're happy with?
[15:07] <wols> fsufitch: lots of people but I doubt you find one willing
[15:07] <gurth4ng> blip: yea me neither, i was wondering how i can get tooltips..
[15:08] <kaiousama_> gurth4ng: yes it does, do you need to write a gnome application displaying tooltips?
[15:09] <gurth4ng> kaiousama_: nope, i just realised it doesnt have tooltips for me and i was wondering if i somehow turned them off or if it never had and i just hadnt noticed ;)
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: Are you trying to install a newer Pidgin.?
[15:09] <fsufitch> Jack_Sparrow: no
[15:09] <fsufitch> my Pidgin stopped working last night along with all the other gtk2+ applications
[15:09] <kaiousama_> I have tooltips if I point the mouse over the icons on nautilus' toolbar, is it that you're referring to?
[15:10] <panfist> hey whats an easy way to install FLAC support for various media players
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: I guess the question is then.. what all did you install or change last night.. or any updates?
[15:11] <gurth4ng> kaiousama_: nope, i mean when pointing at some file's icon in a folder
[15:11] <blip> kaiousama: no i think he means the folders
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !flac

[15:12] <fsufitch> Jack_Sparrow: >_<. So then?
[15:12] <fsufitch> the problem may be that my internet connection sucked and that my upgrade had to stop midway
[15:12] <bidossessi> talking about free formats; i'm sure there's abatch converter available; something like papcl for ubuntu
[15:12] <lauriexxx> hi can anybody direct m to a good site for installing ubuntu on a samsung notebook?
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: I would try to reinstall or remove and reinstall gtk2
[15:12] <xerxes1358> exit
[15:12] <bobbob1016> Jowi, I ran screen in my ssh session, and I figured out the basics, I can't seem to return to the window though.  I'm running Azureus on the remote machine, and if I start it in ssh, after running screen, it launches.  If I detach, then reattach, I see the terminal output from Azureus, but Azureus closed.  I tried it with xmms, and after reattaching, I get an error.  Any ideas?
[15:12] <kaiousama_> gurth4ng: no, there are no tooltips over files&folders in nautilus, if you need informations on a specific file you have to select it, otherwise...
[15:12] <fsufitch> Jack_Sparrow: i'll try it
[15:12] <bobb13> firefox <IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu 7.10 working fine except when loading long page (cannot load fully). any idea?
[15:13] <Drakx_> your net connection maybe?
[15:13] <blip> bobble3, probably just an issue with firefox, not ubuntu.  have an example of a page giving you issues?
[15:13] <bobb13> other browser installed also have same problem
[15:13] <gurth4ng> kaiousama_: ah okay, that's what i was looking for. is there a way to add tooltips? maybe through some Compiz extention or..?
[15:13] <bobb13> no internet problem, winxp working fine
[15:13] <fsufitch> Jack_Sparrow: that would be libgtk2.0-0?
[15:14] <Jowi> bobbob1016, AFAIK screen is for terminal commands. I haven't tried with X apps at all so I don't know.
[15:14] <bobb13> blip: any page with long list, such as country list
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: I would use synaptic and see what is installed and work form there...
[15:14] <kaiousama_> gurth4ng: otherwise you can display some file&folder informations below each icon (when nautilus is in icon view mode) by setting menu->edit->preferences->display. But it is probably not what are you looking for.
[15:14] <fsufitch> synaptic is a gtk app
[15:14]  * kaiousama_ looking in compiz

[15:15] <bobbob1016> Jowi, Oh, ok, thanks.  Screen is useful on it's own too, instead of opening multiple ssh sessions, I can just open multiple windows.  Thanks again.
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: This isnt really a ubuntu problem...   We use gnome and you are running a "beta" of KDE4
[15:15] <bobb13> blip: yes. that's good example
[15:16] <Jowi> bobbob1016, no probs
[15:16] <fsufitch> Jack_Sparrow: i'm not even actually running it... I just tried it a few weeks ago and left it installed so that i won't have problems later upgrading from 3.5 to 4.0

[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: NOt really their problem if your upgrade borked in the middle of the download is it?
[15:17] <bobb13> blip: tried to turn off IPV6 but doesn't help
[15:17] <wietz0r> I've just installed ubuntu, and now I ran update and it doesn't work
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: I suppose you didnt bother to have any backup of any kind available?
[15:18] <kaiousama_> gurth4ng: i don0t see any useful option in compiz-settings.... maybe there is some gconf option for nautilus not exposed to the end user

[15:20] <Zasch> Hello. Is there any way to add a location to the "Places" menu?
[15:20] <mular> yes but shouldn't it not fail @ boot up? I didn't change anything thats what it is doing defaultly
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: Have you EVER backed up your system.
[15:20] <wietz0r> kaiousama_: do you have any idea ?
[15:20] <fsufitch> Jack_Sparrow: no
[15:20] <kaiousama_> wietz0r: open synaptic from system->administration->synaptic package manager
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: Running beta software with no backups is not a good plan
[15:21] <fsufitch> Jack_Sparrow: the only time i've done backups is when i needed to reinstall all of ubuntu
[15:21] <kaiousama_> wietz0r: and look if there are some broken packages
[15:21] <wietz0r> Can't I do that with apt ?
[15:21] <wietz0r> I'll try, hold on

[15:22] <bigdaddysky> can someone help me out
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> fsufitch: Like I said earlier.. this is not a ubntu support problem...  try KDE or even offtopic...
[15:22] <wietz0r> kaiousama_: how do I check this in synaptic
[15:22] <wietz0r> it says none broken

[15:32] <Cher> thank you
[15:32] <Cher> hehe
[15:32] <Cher> :D
[15:33] <bAndie91> fuck it dont works
[15:33] <shivy> Hey people, I have a situation which I want to create which I have a question about ...
[15:33] <elkbuntu> !ohmy | bAndie91
[15:33] <ubotu> bAndie91: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[15:33] <elkbuntu> shivy, just ask, dont ask to ask :)
[15:33] <Cher> :S
[15:34] <Cher> :D
[15:34] <bAndie91> HOW CAN I INSTALL ANY KIND OF LINUX INTO A LAPTOP WITH NO CDROM ????
[15:34] <Cher> bAndie91
[15:34] <Cher> go home
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Cher: Please stop
[15:34] <Cher> :D
[15:34] <bidossessi> use a usb?
[15:34] <Cher> :(
[15:34] <elkbuntu> bAndie91, netinstall
[15:34] <bAndie91> no usb no net no other possibilities only fdd
[15:34] <bAndie91> !
[15:34] <joakim-> anybody know if the notification area ballon colour can be changed?
[15:35] <shivy> k sorry new to this, ok here goes. I want to create a fileserver. I have this partition ext3 which I want to use to put files. But I dont know if im on the right path. How would you approach this
[15:35] <elkbuntu> bAndie91, no PCMCIA card?
[15:35] <bAndie91> no
[15:35] <belsebubb> !ntop
[15:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:35] <bAndie91> (i have bought but dont arrived yet)
[15:35] <bidossessi> shivy, do you want to share those files with other linux bxes?
[15:35] <elkbuntu> bAndie91, do you have another computer around that you could put the harddrive into (2.5"->3.5" are cheap on ebay)?
[15:36] <kaiousama_> bAndie91: are you sure your laptop meets the minimum system requirements for ubuntu?
[15:36] <ushimitsudoki> bAndie91: look here if you need a floppy distro: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Floppy/
[15:36] <shivy> yupp Linux boxes and windows machines
[15:36] <bidossessi> windows: that means samba
[15:36] <_> hellpo
[15:36] <bAndie91> its a special compaqu designed hdd, i cant join to
[15:36] <MaxRandor> bAndie91:  if you can get the data onto the hardrive you can install using a bootable floppy disk to run the .iso of the hardrive
[15:36] <shivy> Could that be done in combination with ext3 ?
[15:36] <bidossessi> you can configure a samba server and set your partition as a share
[15:36] <shivy> or do I need a different kind of partition
[15:37] <bidossessi> shivy, no, it's ok
[15:37] <crush_groove> what should fdisk -l show me ?
[15:37] <elkbuntu> bAndie91, what model cmputer and harddrive?
[15:37] <bAndie91> MaxRandor: i cant do that for a week :(
[15:37] <shivy> So when this certain partition is shared with samba its available for windows users through ftp ?
[15:37] <bidossessi> i think there must be a gui tool to setup a samba share in ubuntu. i generally use smb.conf
[15:37] <bidossessi> shivy
[15:38] <bAndie91> compaq armada m....
[15:38] <Generic> crush_groove, partition layout on all your disks
[15:38] <bidossessi> shivy, not ftp, just normal shared folder, like you would have on windows
[15:38] <iblicf> hi , if  'ls -l ' can output the octal format ?
[15:38] <bAndie91> armada 7730mt
[15:38] <marshcast> ok - i know i'm harping on a bit, but i'm really struggling with these resolution issues. I thought that the admin account was sorted, but its only the panels that are small - the icons & desktop are still very big. I could really do with some help - the new gutsy displayconfig doesn't detect my card or monitor and keeps sending me to pnp 800x600 - i have to change it manually - but nothing changes. could somebody please give me
[15:38] <marshcast>  a hand?
[15:39] <shivy> The Idea is to get a login through a php script for users....That they have a place after the login to download/reach these files. Either windows or linux users
[15:39] <crush_groove> Generic thats what I thought . fdisk -l only shows me my ibook external .. no other drives
[15:39] <jp30> how can I have my Ubuntu recognize my USB stick?
[15:39] <bidossessi> shivy. you are trying to set up a PDC?
[15:39] <elkbuntu> bAndie91, i'm pretty certain you can remove the harddrive from armadas and connect them using a converter. heck, even walmart may have one of the connectors
[15:40] <noto1> Anyone GOSU with XKB?
[15:40] <bidossessi> PDC=Primary Domain Controller
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> jp30: Did you check  System / Preferences / Removable Drives and Media.?
[15:40] <bAndie91> and from where do i get CONVERTER?
[15:40] <marshcast> the information section on the monitor menu says 800x600 even if I set it manually to 1280x1024... it wont change.
[15:40] <shivy> I just want to get the best approach ...
[15:40] <elkbuntu> bAndie91, ebay or electronics department
[15:41] <marshcast> is there any way to go back to my feisty install
[15:41] <marshcast> ?
[15:41] <Jack_Sparrow> marshcast: Is this a laptop?
[15:41] <bidossessi> shivy, you want users to login through a login server, right?
[15:41] <blip> marshcast, to stop my computer from loading into a specific resolution, I deleted the "bad" resolution in my xorg.config file.
[15:41] <bidossessi> linux and windows don't handle login the same way
[15:41] <nickrud> marshcast, the only way back to feisty is a re install
[15:41] <jp30> yes, everything is checked, when I plug my USB in , Ubuntu 7.04 doesn't read it
[15:42] <shivy> Well I want the files to be protected by login.. and me t have the ability to see who downloads it ...
[15:42] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Morning.. :)
[15:42] <shivy> Like a secure ftp would be fine too too start off with
[15:42] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow, to you also
[15:42] <shivy> as long as both window and linux users can reach it
[15:42] <LamerUnixowy> hello
[15:42] <bidossessi> ok, i see. you are talking about a webserver, right?
[15:42] <xerxes1358> Hello
[15:42] <LamerUnixowy> somebody speak in Polish?
[15:42] <shivy> Well yeah kinda
[15:43] <nickrud> !pl | LamerUnixowy
[15:43] <ubotu> LamerUnixowy: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[15:43] <shivy> im sorry if Im unclear ... Im not really good in explaining lol ;-)
[15:43] <marshcast> Jack_Sparrow, no - it's a desktop - ati radeon express, viewsonic va702b monitor... am gutted at gutsy - this has been two days of people giving me a hard time and hours and hours of getting nowhere :(
[15:43] <xerxes1358> I just installed Ubuntu, I have 2 problems I cant install anything. And second my screens look VERY weird Check this out: http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkf7.png
[15:43] <LamerUnixowy> dzieki (thx)
[15:43] <marshcast> blip, will try that, thanks :)
[15:43] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: Are you still there bro
[15:43] <blip> marshcast, good luck!
[15:43] <shivy> Like I have 20 files I want on this server for you to download... only you need a login to get there
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> marshcast: Please post your xorg to the pastebin and give us the link.. Do not paste into the channel
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: I was just about to take a break.. but yes
[15:44] <shivy> Now my upload isnt that great but I still want to offer these files without having to upgrade my inernet connection...
[15:44] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: I have trouble with my screen. Check the link I just posted: http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkf7.png
[15:44] <bidossessi> shivy, you have a php script on a webpage that you need to control access to. i you could use an apache auth request for that specific folder. i think you would do that through an htaccess file
[15:44] <Ubuntu2> what kind is it
[15:44] <bidossessi> that is if i understood you correctly
[15:45] <shivy> kewl,, so that way I could protect the content through a password login right ?
[15:45] <shivy> so I just need apache and some tweaking in httpd.conf ?
[15:45] <blip> xerxes1358, what's the problem?
[15:45] <bidossessi> yes, by setting a .htacces file in the target folder, you could regulate who gets access
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: Pulling it up now...  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  .. save that for later...
[15:46] <bidossessi> you should look that up in the apache documentation
[15:46] <shivy> So would it be smart to symbolically link everything to a specific folder ?
[15:46] <shivy> instead of giving access to the real folder ?
[15:46] <bidossessi> well, you can use a directory directive in apache, and not have to link anything
[15:46] <davina> !xlib6g
[15:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xlib6g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:46] <nickrud> !info libc6
[15:47] <ubotu> libc6: GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 (gutsy), package size 4085 kB, installed size 10120 kB
[15:47] <crush_groove> Jack_Sparrow,  will xrandr  or xrandr --display help marsh ?
[15:47] <shivy> kewl.. wow that just gave me a whole big kick in my butt to the right direction Thanx bidossessi !
[15:47] <lassesandberg43> can anyone help me? im having serious problems with compiz, i got ubuntu 7.10, and under appearences > desktopeffects > custom, even if i disable ALL plugins etc, i can still use alt and mousewheel to change opacity of windows, and it never remembers my settings when i restart, and sometimes forget them as well when i switch between "none" and "custom" in desktop effects
[15:47] <bidossessi> welcome
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> crush_groove: Working three problems atm... one sec
[15:47] <crush_groove> yes sir
[15:48] <bazhang> alt f2 metacity --replace lassesandberg43
[15:48] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: its is a INtel centrino mobile card in a laptop I believe its called  945 or s
[15:48] <xerxes1358> o
[15:48] <crush_groove> lassesandberg43,  do you have flatfile enabled in preferences?
[15:48] <bidossessi> what do you know. i just installed ubuntu this morning and i have a pc freeze!
[15:48] <nickrud> xerxes1358, try system->prefs->appearances fonts tab, window title
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> crush_groove:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg       is most likely where I will send him after looking at his xorg.. he also may not have his monitor refresh setup...
[15:49] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: I chose vesa but it keeps asking for memory allocation. Whats common ? 128000 kb ?
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: accept all defaults.. dont change anything
[15:50] <xerxes1358> I cant
[15:50] <lassesandberg43> crush_groove: its the same with or without that
[15:50] <xerxes1358> It forces me to put in a number. I put in 128mb
[15:50] <crush_groove> Nodz at Jack_Sparrow  ty
[15:50] <Berto> Hi, I had a power outage and now have HUGE sound problems.  Anything that has to do with alsa freezes.
[15:50] <Berto> What's the best way to make sure alsa doesn't start up at all next time so that i can start debugging?
[15:50] <Warrior> Morning all.
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: dont write anything to the xorg and try nickrud's suggestion
[15:50] <Berto> I took alsa-utils out of startup mode
[15:50] <crush_groove>  lassesandberg43  have you done compiz --replace cpp &
[15:51] <lassesandberg43> no i dont think so.. should i run that command in terminal?
[15:51] <lassesandberg43> and what does it do :P
[15:51] <crush_groove> lassesandberg43,  yes
[15:51] <lassesandberg43> okay
[15:51] <crush_groove>  It resets your compiz settings
[15:51] <lassesandberg43> okay
[15:52] <lassesandberg43> crush_groove: /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'cpp'
[15:52] <lassesandberg43> /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
[15:52] <lassesandberg43>  <--- it stops after writing that in terminal
[15:52] <Strangewor1> When I attempt to install Opera web browser, the .deb says "failed to install.", why is this?
[15:52] <crush_groove>  lassesandberg43  come to #compiz-fusion
[15:52] <lassesandberg43> okay
[15:53] <nickrud> xerxes1358, erm, are you using compiz? I just tried setting font title size thru that and it doesn't work with compiz
[15:53] <Aquahallic> Mornin' folks
[15:53] <crush_groove> lassesandberg43,  that is beyond my knowledge and off topic for this room . ask in compiz . many good people in there
[15:53] <xerxes1358> nickrud: I am not sure to be honest. First linux install. I just finished.
[15:54] <playest> hello
[15:55] <nickrud> xerxes1358, that screenshot window is transparent, so it probably is.  Try this:  hit alt-f2 , then run metacity --replace
[15:55] <bidossessi> so, any link on turning a wireless into an AP in ubuntu?
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: I am curious about the other sources you enabled at your univ....  But I doubt that is where the problem started..
[15:55] <Aquahallic> anyone ever seen Xorg jump to 99% cpu using nvidia legacy drivers?
[15:55] <amorphous__> ok - the screen res thing - even if i take out all other possible resolutions but 1280x1024, it still boots up in 800x600. then i get asked to manually configure at bootup. i choose 1280x1024 & it gives me 800x600 again.  radeon is NEVER detected by gutsy's displayconfig, and I'm at a complete loss :( any other offers? please?
[15:55] <playest> i have a file on my hard drive and i can't delete it
[15:55]  * nickrud *hates* unknown third party repos :)
[15:56] <Strangewor1> When I attempt to install Opera web browser, the .deb says "failed to install.", why is this? In addition, Opera does not appear in Synaptic Package Manager
[15:56] <bidossessi> playest, maybe you don't have the right permissions
[15:56] <playest> il try rm -rf and sudo rm -rf
[15:56] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow: I had that problem during install too (The large fonts). What are your default settings for windows title fonts ?
[15:56] <xerxes1358> nickrud: seems to help
[15:56] <bidossessi> playest, what is the name of that file?
[15:56] <flithm> hey everyone, anyone know where the opengl man pages are?
[15:56] <nickrud> xerxes1358, ok then it is definitely a theme problem
[15:57] <playest> but the error is "the directory is not empty"
[15:57] <playest> http://rafb.net/p/37T6pu23.html
[15:57] <bidossessi> playest, you have to go recursive
[15:57] <playest> errors are in french
[15:57] <bidossessi> try -R
[15:57] <playest> bidossessi, already try
[15:57] <nickrud> xerxes1358, now, in a terminal run   sudo apt-get install emerald    , lets make sure you have the theme manager for compiz installed
[15:57] <Shapeshifter> how can I make an usb stick bootable in ubuntu?
[15:57] <bidossessi> playest, just run mc and delete it from there then...
[15:58] <bidossessi> :)
[15:58] <playest> mc ?
[15:58] <playest> you mean ms ?
[15:58] <nickrud> Strangewor1, opera is not distributed by ubuntu, therefore it won't be in synaptic unless you add a repository that has it (or get it installed, then synaptic can uninstall it for you)
[15:58] <bidossessi> no, mc
[15:58] <chazco> Hi... if I have /home on a seperate partition how will Ubuntu installer react if only certain parts of an old install are they (e.g. launcher configs)?
[15:58] <xerxes1358> metacity --replace
[15:58] <playest> what is mc ?
[15:58] <xerxes1358> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[15:58] <xerxes1358> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[15:58] <xerxes1358> nickrud: ^^
[15:58] <bidossessi> if you do a lot of work in console, you will grow to like mc
[15:58] <wols> xerxes1358: something using apt is already running
[15:59] <nickrud> xerxes1358, close synaptic, or you can use synaptic to install emerald. Only one package manager can be open at a time
[15:59] <xerxes1358> oh yes I am updating the system I believe
[15:59] <bidossessi> run sudo apt-get install mc and just run it, it's an ncurses file manager and much more
[15:59] <playest> bidossessi, i have to install it ?
[15:59] <bidossessi> takes a few seconds
[15:59] <nickrud> xerxes1358, ok, when the update is done we can continue
[15:59] <flithm> hey does anyone here know where the opengl man pages are?
[15:59] <xerxes1358> nickrud: that will take another 1.5 hours I think.
[16:00] <xerxes1358> nickrud: can you tell me what your default settings are for windows title fonts ?
[16:00] <pmratpoison> hello, is the proper channel for nicotne+ help?
[16:00] <Strangewor1> nickrud: How can I add the Opera repository to Synaptic?
[16:00] <nickrud> xerxes1358, heh. You can interrupt the update, it's in the download phase right now. Then pick up where you left off
[16:00] <famicon_> http://myExTheBitch.com/?id=51447ddc
[16:00] <nickrud> xerxes1358, your choice, of course
[16:00] <famicon_> ho
[16:00] <famicon_> wrong link
[16:00] <playest> bidossessi, i'm trying (tring ?)
[16:00] <xerxes1358> nickrud: it will pickup where it was >? nice!
[16:00] <famicon_> not menat for this chan

[16:01] <nickrud> Strangewor1, I'm not sure what repo has it. If you put the complete error from trying to install it with dpkg, I'll take a look
[16:01] <xerxes1358> nickrud: E: Couldn't find package emerald
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> xerxes1358: Only one package manager at a time
[16:02] <nickrud> xerxes1358, still gotta close synaptic, and the update-manager
[16:02] <xerxes1358> I closed it
[16:02] <pmratpoison> xerxes1358: close and synaptic or add/remove windows and wait for apt-get and or aptitude to complete
[16:02] <bidossessi> playest, have you seen mc?
[16:02] <playest> i am dling it
[16:03] <nickrud> xerxes1358, and the second error, system->admin->software sources , check the first four items and uncheck the cdrom
[16:03] <nickrud> xerxes1358, packages come from several components, emerald in particular comes from universe.
[16:04] <zatic> can someone recommend a cmd line program that gets meta data from video files, like duration, resolution, codec ?
[16:04] <scguy318> zatic: file, though it's not very detailed
[16:04] <chazco> Hi... if I have /home on a seperate partition how will Ubuntu installer react if only certain parts of an old install are they (e.g. launcher configs)?
[16:04] <Shapeshifter> my usb stiick wont be mounted automatically for some reason. what should I do?
[16:04] <Shapeshifter> how do I mount it manually
[16:04] <chazco> zatic - ffmpeg can do that... i think you run it as a dummy run
[16:04] <scguy318> Shapeshifter: check System -> Prefs -> Removable Drives, else
[16:04] <bidossessi> Shapeshifter, what does dmesg tell you?
[16:05] <nickrud> xerxes1358, reading back (I always miss stuff) I usually use 10-12 for title fonts
[16:05] <scguy318> Shapeshifter: pastebin sudo fdisk -l, there may be something with the USB device
[16:05] <Arthur37854> another question. say i download the latest ubuntu os iso image from the net and i transfer that to a cd can i just copy and paste the iso to dthe cd or do i need to do it from a terminal window? to make it bootable.
[16:05] <Ereal2> hey can some one help me my system crashing and hulting all the time?
[16:05] <Berto> How do I stop my machine from loading up all my sound modules?  I removed alsa-utils from startup
[16:05] <bidossessi> Arthur37854, are you on windows?
[16:06] <Shapeshifter> If I go to system-prefs-removable devices it takes a few seconds and then tells me "Volume management not supported - the "hald" service is required but not currently running...."
[16:06] <zatic> chazco: I already looked thru all options of ffmpeg, any hints?
[16:06] <Arthur37854> no i want to do this in linux
[16:06] <kaiousama_> Arthur37854: if you right click over the .iso image file you have "burn image" option if you are on ubuntu.
[16:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: That is kind of general... that is not what most of us experience..  Did it ever work?
[16:06] <Berto> Is there a way for me to uninstall alsa-utils and alsa-base without breaking a ton of dependencies?
[16:06] <playest> bidossessi, doesn't work
[16:06] <Arthur37854> i have a program on my windows comp that will make it bootable
[16:06] <nickrud> Shapeshifter, try sudo /etc/init.d/hal start
[16:06] <Ereal2> 610 worked like a charm
[16:06] <Arthur37854> ok
[16:06] <bidossessi> then you won't have a problem. if you have burning tools installed, all you will need to do is dblclik the iso and that should start gnome-baker or whatever
[16:06] <Strangewor1> nickrud: Failed to install package 'opera-9.25-20071214.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb, the terminal is also blank
[16:07] <xerxes1358> which font do you use nickrud
[16:07] <bidossessi> playest, have you run mc?
[16:07] <Arthur37854> and if i burn image it will be bootable?
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: How did you upgrade or install your existing system
[16:07] <nickrud> Strangewor1, no other text whatsoever?
[16:07] <Ereal2> but since upgradeing to 7.10
[16:07] <playest> yes bidossessi
[16:07] <kaiousama_> Arthur37854: yes
[16:07] <Strangewor1> nickrud: none
[16:07] <Ereal2> nothing but problems bro.
[16:07] <bidossessi> playest, what do you see?
[16:07] <bidossessi> when you run mc, what do you see?
[16:07] <nickrud> xerxes1358, I usually use bitstream vera sans
[16:07] <bulmer> bidossessi, problem i find with gnome-baker is you cant set the burn speed easily
[16:07] <kex> when i mount my digital camera, what device is i?
[16:07] <kex> it*
[16:07] <Ereal2> complete reinstall
[16:07] <Arthur37854> thank you, that was easy...lol
[16:07] <Ereal2> a lot of weird stuff
[16:08] <ctothej> Can someone help me set up Raid 1 using fakeraid and the Alternate CD?
[16:08] <playest> bidossessi, the directory
[16:08] <bidossessi> bulmer, well i don't use gnome-baker
[16:08] <playest> nothing more that with ls
[16:08] <Ereal2> longer boot time just stay in bage screen for a min....
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: We need specific info  things like doesntwork  dont help you and dont help us to help you
[16:08] <xerxes1358> nickrud: anyways what do I next I closed all package managers.
[16:08] <nickrud> Strangewor1, then I don't know what that would be, usually there's at least something, like can't find file, or something
[16:09] <nickrud> xerxes1358, sudo apt-get install emerald , you ran that
[16:09] <bidossessi> playest, if you are under X you can select files with the mouse. F8 will recursively delete the file/folder you have slected
[16:09] <playest> bidossessi, i try that, it doesn't works
[16:09] <xerxes1358> nickrud: E: Couldn't find package emerald
[16:09] <xerxes1358>  Again. I am sure I closed all stuff except this irc screen
[16:09] <Strangewor1> nickrud: Hm, strange, thank you anyways.
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: Ok, longer boot time...  but goes through after less than a mionute... not unusual... and what other problems
[16:10] <Ereal2> well im I the only one ?
[16:10] <toni_> no
[16:10] <playest> (maybe i should say "this" instead "that" in the prev sentence)
[16:10] <Ereal2> umm
[16:10] <Ereal2> no splash screen
[16:10] <bidossessi> playest, try selecting the file and doing "Ctrl+x c"
[16:10] <pmratpoison> Gutsy AMD64 user. Some functions of nicotine+ (installed via add/remove) are not functioning. When I try to "download containing folder" or "User Browse" nothing seems to happen
[16:10] <nickrud> xerxes1358, ok next is  system->admin->software sources , enable the first 4 items, disable cdrom. Close, then run    sudo apt-get update   ,  then sudo apt-get install emerald
[16:10] <bidossessi> that should open the permissions popup
[16:10] <Strangewor1> nickrud: Well, I am looking for Opera mostly because everytime I run firefox for an extended period of time, my computer hangs, and the only way out is to pull the plug.
[16:10] <Ereal2> I found that weird because people say the have it on 7.10
[16:10] <evil_kevin> What's best tool for 'wiping' partitions?
[16:10] <elda> Looking for a quick opinion.... I'm on pidgin atm, but I am wondering.  What is a good GUI based irc client to use?
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: Try putting complete thoughts or questions all on one line to reduce spam in the channel
[16:10] <Shapeshifter> nickrud: well, it succeded to start and now the removable drives thingy works, too. why wasn't hal started automatically?
[16:11] <salah> Is there any ways I can change the filesystem so /dev/sdb1 is my home directory?
[16:11] <eckesicle> Is there write support for iPod nano (HFS+) in Amarok?
[16:11] <Ereal2> sorry ,
[16:11] <wols> salah: sure. mount /dev/sdb1 as /home
[16:11] <nickrud> shapeshifter, should have but there was some error on startup. /var/log/syslog might have some info on why
[16:11] <Shapeshifter> nickrud: sorry my system locked up. do you know why I had to start hal automatically?
[16:11] <Shapeshifter> ah
[16:11] <jerg> bonjour
[16:11] <bidossessi> playest, do you see a blue background and two panels at all?
[16:11] <elda> One that was made for irc in specific as opposed to being one of those "omni" chat programs >.>
[16:11] <playest> bidossessi, ok and ?
[16:11] <xerxes1358> nickrud: I updated it Its downloading packages now
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: Did you use the live cd or an alternate install.. Is this a hard drive install or one of the vm choices?
[16:12] <playest> humm
[16:12] <jerg> what's language here ?
[16:12] <nickrud> xerxes1358, ok
[16:12] <salah> wols, now the home directory won't open
[16:12] <bidossessi> jerg, english/anglais
[16:12] <pmratpoison> jerg: official language is english
[16:12] <bidossessi> !fr | jerg
[16:12] <ubotu> jerg: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[16:12] <Shapeshifter> nickrud: there's nothing about hal in /var/log/syslog
[16:12] <jerg> merci
[16:12] <Ereal2> yes I used the live cd to install and yes it was a hdd install
[16:13] <nickrud> Shapeshifter, no real clue then. It's happened to me once or twice on bootup in feisty, but never in gutsy
[16:13] <dmb> is it possible to get a framebuffer console in ubuntu?
[16:13] <playest> bidossessi, yes i do
[16:13] <jerg> http://space-land.fr/parc.php?id=570    thx
[16:13] <nickrud> !fb | dmb
[16:13] <ubotu> dmb: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[16:13] <wols> salah: what is your username?
[16:13] <salah> wols, salah
[16:13] <wols> salah: so is there a direcotry "salah/" on /dev/sdb1?
[16:14] <bidossessi> ok then if you get the permissions popup, you can see/change permissions for the file you are targeting a bit more easily
[16:14] <MisterChief> My gutsy gibbon says that it is running in low graphics mdoe, I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and now it says that it failed to start the X server
[16:14] <dmb> nickrud: that doesn't seem to work correctly on my video card/monitor
[16:14] <wols>  MisterChief what videocard and what driver?
[16:14] <dmb> nickrud: my native resolution is 1920x1200
[16:14] <MisterChief> What should the X server driver be?
[16:14] <nickrud> dmb, a radeon of one type or another?
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: You should then have a splash screen ... did you check the livecd for errors. or the md5 of the livecd etc?
[16:14] <playest> bidossessi, permissions are 40 755
[16:14] <pmratpoison> Gutsy AMD64 user. Some functions of nicotine+ (installed via add/remove) are not functioning. When I try to "download containing folder" or "User Browse" nothing seems to happen
[16:14] <dmb> nickrud: yes, mobility radeon
[16:15] <bidossessi> playest, chech that you are the owner or have sufficient rights to delete the file
[16:15] <nickrud> dmb, welcome to the deprived club, it doesn't work on my 200m either
[16:15] <dmb> it says invalid mode for pretty much all of the values i put
[16:15] <playest> bidossessi, i'm the owner and the group is root
[16:15] <MisterChief> How do I find my video card's bus identifier?
[16:15] <salah> wols, anyways, no big deal, i'll reinstall Ubuntu. So I have this disk, full of media files. Any idea where I should mount it? It needs to my home dir disk, since the OS disk is a raptor 34 GB, and this disk also contains all binaries, documents, media files etc
[16:15] <Ereal2> yes I did sir.
[16:15] <bidossessi> then F8 will delete the folder/file. if it's not empty, it will pop up a message. just choose the appropriate option
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: You can also check your /boot/grub/menu.lst to see it if shows splash
[16:16] <Ereal2> it been baffling me why this is...
[16:16] <xerxes1358> nickrud: I am back in an hour so. Thank you so much so far bro. Talk to you soon. Bye
[16:16] <playest> bidossessi, dis you look that : http://rafb.net/p/37T6pu23.html
[16:16] <MisterChief> Is the video card's bus identifier on the motherboard?
[16:16] <playest> did*
[16:16] <Shapeshifter> nickrud: Man this log is huge o.ô won't it be trimmed down automatically after some time?! anyway...
[16:16] <nickrud> xerxes1358, I'll be around today some, but if not ask for help in changing emerald themes
[16:16] <dmb> nickrud: i was able to use http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/ before on gentoo, and that worked very nicely
[16:17] <josh04> I have a Compaq laptop with gutsy. If I touch the touchpad when gdm is up at first boot, the pointer jumps across the screen then then whole thing locks up, and the caps lock key starts to flash. Can't find anything even related on google, and no messages in the syslog. Any help?
[16:17] <elda> Looking for a quick opinion.... I'm on pidgin atm, but I am wondering.  What is a good GUI based irc client to use?  One that was made for irc in specific as opposed to being one of those "omni" chat programs preferably.
[16:17] <Thai> set theme murf
[16:17] <Ereal2> could it be a bad hdd?
[16:17] <Airbottle> xchat
[16:17] <MisterChief> elda: Xchat
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Ereal2: No splash and other problems like that are not normal.. did you try to save /home or was this a full wipe the drive and fresh install.. dual boot or any other os?
[16:17] <wols> Ereal2: x-chat usually
[16:17] <dmb> nickrud: problem is, with all the ubuntu kernel modifications, i'm guessing that patch would never work
[16:17] <playest> bidossessi, it say "the dir is not empty, recursivly ? Y/N"
[16:17] <MisterChief> I can;t find my video card's bus identifier :S
[16:17] <Shapeshifter> nickrud: and I also ahve to run dhclient manually to get an IP everytime I boot.... there's so much messed up in my system
[16:17] <eckesicle> elda, xchat
[16:17] <wols> MisterChief: it doesn't matter. leave it blank
[16:17] <bidossessi> choose yes
[16:17] <Enkonto> Hello, world! =)
[16:18] <playest> i say yes and the fil is always here
[16:18] <Ereal2> what about xchat?
[16:18] <elda> In my experience though X-chat usually hid the user list, is there a way to keep it so it doesn't hide it?
[16:18] <javb> hi people, i dont know why, but if i start pidgin gnome freezes! i did 'completely remove' pidgin via synaptic, and reinstalled, but it is still getting the config it was when freezing, i doesnt come clean... what can i do ?
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > Ereal2
[16:18] <elda> Maybe I was somewhat spoiled by mirc on Windows but I kind of like having that available
[16:18] <MisterChief> elda: xchat can be customised just as much as mirc practically
[16:18] <bidossessi> if there are several files in there you should have 'yes|no|all|none|abort'
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> elda: You might want to check out Konversation if you liked mirc
[16:19] <elda> kk
[16:19] <nickrud> dmb, looks like CONFIG_FB_UVESA isn't set in the ubuntu kernel
[16:19] <dwhsix> easy question: is there something I can use to stress-test a disk (either read-only or read-write) to see if it is failing?
[16:19] <bidossessi> choose 'all'.  i'm reading up on your post
[16:19] <MisterChief> Is the video card's bus identifier on the motherboard? I don't want to look in there :S
[16:19] <elda> I may try Konversation when I get KDE, for now though Im sticking with gnome
[16:19] <bulmer> josh04, those are i/o interrupt problem issues (mine is due to wifi connection attempt)  of which I have not found a solution yet
[16:19] <Ereal2> hell yea their not normal bro.
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> javb: You are not running kde4 are you?
[16:19] <wols> dwhsix: smartmontools
[16:19] <nickrud> MisterChief, lspci | grep -i vga , the first numbers are the bus identifier
[16:20] <dmb> nickrud: i think that requires the patch to have that work anyway
[16:20] <playest> bidossessi, do you want i translate it ?
[16:20] <javb> Jack_Sparrow, no!
[16:20] <javb> Jack_Sparrow, gnome!
[16:20] <bidossessi> no it's ok, i speak perfect french:)
[16:20] <Shapeshifter> dwhsix: you can simply use the diagonsys tool your harddisk verndor provides you. seatools for seagate, hutil for samsung and so on....
[16:20] <playest> ok good ^^
[16:20] <bulmer> MisterChief,  also try  to look around /sys/devices/system  and look around for video chip
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> elda: You can run KDE apps in gnome, but they do load up a bit of kde to work..
[16:20] <nickrud> dmb, missed that step in the howto, you're right
[16:21] <elda> Ah oh well
[16:21] <elda> I've just stuck xchat on here
[16:21] <MisterChief> I can't access the file manager, I'm in low graphics mdoe
[16:21] <MisterChief> mode*
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> javb: I had to ask as you are the second person with pidgin problems this am.. he was running kde4 and the update got him
[16:21] <playest> bidossessi, i try the evil solution and it works
[16:21] <playest> i run windows
[16:21] <dmb> nickrud: i might mess around with it later, if i am able to get it to work, i'll write a howto
[16:21] <bidossessi> lol, what is the evil solution?
[16:21] <elda> woops it double logged me... closing this window
[16:21] <playest> run windows
[16:22] <bulmer> MisterChief, udevinfo is a command line, maybe you can use it to find the info
[16:22] <nickrud> dmb, that would be very nice, I like a pretty framebuffer on my consoles
[16:22] <bidossessi> must not have been following
[16:22] <playest> and delete it from here
[16:22] <^root^> i have this video CD, and when i insert and try to play it, firstlt the .dat file icons are like text file,and they open in gedit, and when i open in movie player e.g. totem or kaffine, they say no suitable plugin found, i ahve all codec installed.
[16:22] <javb> Jack_Sparrow, this is weird, do you know where are the pidgin profile files ? where it stores the accounts and preference info?
[16:22] <^root^> and i cna play .dat file on my computer as well
[16:22] <Elda> There we go
[16:22] <earthling> ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
[16:22] <dmb> nickrud: for me, its not the prettyness, its using my console with my normal resolution :D
[16:22] <Eyemean> hi sorry to ask here, but does anyone know of a diy channel? or a website were i can search for this pls?
[16:22] <javb> whats better, flash-non-free o gnflash
[16:22] <javb> '?
[16:23] <nickrud> dmb :)
[16:23] <bidossessi> playest, is that a usb stick?
[16:23] <Elda> Ooh xchat for some reason loaded my user list from the start woohoo \o/
[16:23] <playest> bidossessi, no, external hard drive
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> javb: Not off hand, I did install the latest pidgin from their site for testing.. but didnt make note of where it installed.
[16:23] <MisterChief> Gah, that didn't work
[16:24] <playest> well bidossessi thanks for your help
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> javb: Flash is broken
[16:24] <bidossessi> playest, i must admin the file paths are abit strange
[16:24] <nickrud> MisterChief, what video chip are you using?
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !flashissues > javb
[16:24] <bidossessi> admit
[16:24] <MisterChief> nickrud: I don't know, its an old system and I think its attached to the motherboard
[16:25] <MisterChief> It's an old RM machine
[16:25] <nickrud> MisterChief, that    lspci | grep -i vga   in a terminal will tell you
[16:25] <MisterChief> okay, I'll try that thanks
[16:25] <Ereal2> maybe it the livecd
[16:26] <playest> bidossessi, yes it is ^^
[16:26] <Ereal2> it not doing a good job of formatting my hdd
[16:26] <playest> i thinks it's a probleme with the tar file
[16:26] <playest> it should be a file and when i ls -l it's a dir
[16:26] <playest> :/
[16:26] <josh04> bulmer: Thanks
[16:27] <MisterChief> I didn't get chance to type that into the terminal, it now says "Failed to start the X server Would you like to diagnose the problem?"
[16:27] <shaft0> how do I execute a file in the terminal?
[16:27] <arsenip> has anyone successfully achieved a working memstick card reader on sony laptops?
[16:27] <evil_kevin> ./
[16:27] <nickrud> MisterChief, say no, you should get a text screen. log in there (hit enter if you don't see   Login:  , then run the command
[16:27] <evil_kevin> ./executable
[16:27] <Ereal2> I try kubuntu it worked nice
[16:28] <shaft0> cheers
[16:28] <MisterChief> Okay
[16:28] <Ereal2> but I don't like the kde deck top
[16:28] <bidossessi> playest, those were created by winblows right?
[16:28] <Ereal2> I don't im  just so use to the gnome aledy on ubuntu
[16:28] <bidossessi> maybe a fdd result from a winblows filesystem
[16:28] <ryanakca> What app do you recommend for modifying .sql files?
[16:28] <amorphous_> a massive leap forward -  i've put another pc onto the monitor that had the resolution poroblems, and have the same problem. Does anyone know why the monitor would be making the drivers not load for the graphics card? - this ones a debian install but has the same problem...
[16:29] <MisterChief> Bash: 1scpi: command not found
[16:29] <nickrud> ryanakca, emacs and a steady hand
[16:29] <nickrud> MisterChief, lspci
[16:29] <bidossessi> i've seen something like that before, usind dd on an floppy
[16:29] <ryanakca> nickrud: emacs? or vi?
[16:29] <MisterChief> Oh, l :S
[16:29] <playest> bidossessi, probably it's a very old file ... about 7 years
[16:29] <nickrud> ryanakca, either really
[16:29] <MisterChief> It looked like a 1
[16:29] <kex> when i mount my digital camera, what device is it (or can possibly be?) in /dev/ ? since i am stuck and helpless. :-(
[16:29] <ryanakca> nickrud: how 'bout ed! :D
[16:29]  * Elda loves her linux xD
[16:29] <MisterChief> lscpi: command not found
[16:29] <playest> but i copy it on my external hard drive few month ago
[16:30] <bidossessi> kex, plug it and type dmesg to find out
[16:30] <ryanakca> nickrud: anything with a frontend? that represents it in a table or something?
[16:30] <playest> from linu
[16:30] <nickrud> MisterChief,    lspci  you have the p and c swapped
[16:30] <playest> +x
[16:30] <nickrud> ryanakca, not that I know of
[16:30] <ryanakca> nickrud: hmm... thanks
[16:30] <bidossessi> ryanakca, you can try phpmyadmin
[16:30] <MisterChief> Ah, thanks
[16:30]  * nickrud thinks his joke just went too far this time, ryanakca :)
[16:30] <kex> bidossessi ty :)
[16:30] <ryanakca> bidossessi: hmm... thanks :)
[16:30] <ryanakca> nickrud: lol :D
[16:31] <playest> away
[16:31] <bidossessi> :)
[16:31] <MisterChief> Now what do I do?
[16:32] <nickrud> MisterChief, what does that one line that you got back say about your video card?
[16:32] <MisterChief> ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
[16:32] <Przemek1910-kom> hej
[16:33] <Przemek1910-kom> mówi ktos tu po polsku?
[16:33] <nickrud> MisterChief, a sec (and you should put the nick of whomever you're talking to in your lines, it makes it easier for them to track)
[16:33] <porcho> hi there. I'm having some problems getting tomcat 5.5 to work with gutsy - specially when trying to integrate it with eclipse. is there a howto or tutorial I can follow?
[16:33] <MisterChief> nickrud: Okay then, thanks
[16:33] <Przemek1910-kom> help poland?
[16:34] <alexandre> hi, can someone please help me out with this ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=658403
[16:34] <nickrud> MisterChief, ok, we're gonna set up ubuntu for the default, check that we have the right default, then go from there.   run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg
[16:36] <Ein_> hi
[16:36] <yassin> I need assistance loading the tun/tap module.
[16:36] <Ein_> I have a small question
[16:36] <MisterChief> nickrud: warning: overwriting possibly customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080105163541
[16:37] <Nerous> hey why does my term always tell me that it cant find the paackage i am looking for
[16:37] <Ein_> is there Ubuntu 7.10 live CD?
[16:37] <jake-tm> yes
[16:37] <bidossessi> lol
[16:37] <lankyplanks> Hi, I am a linux newbie but have been a dev on the windows platfrom for 10 years.  I currently have a problem trying to install vncserver or freenx on gutsy on an amazon ami because there are no fonts dir in the dir usr/share/x11 any idea how I can install these?  Thanks
[16:37] <nickrud> MisterChief, just fine.   Next run     grep ati /etc/X11/xorg.conf    , do you get back a line that says  Driver "ati"
[16:37] <Ein_> cuz what I have it not a live CD
[16:37] <underwatercow> is there a way in GNOME to only hide some of the desktop volumes instead of all?
[16:38] <mame> Is there a way to install Ubuntu from a USB Thumb drive?
[16:38] <Monobi> mame, if your BIOS will boot from a USB, yes
[16:38] <MisterChief> nickrud: Yes
[16:38] <Jowi> .fr
[16:38] <Strangework> The Synaptic Package Manager is not allowing me to install anything, when I have selected my downloads and have clicked the "apply" button. it goes through half of the process, then stops.
[16:38] <marshcast> I'm having massive issues with screen resolutions. my monitor doesn't seem to be detected properly & means that my graphuics card comes up as vesa, with no 1280x1024 settings... is there a way forward for me?
[16:38] <Nerous> i couldnt figure out the thumb drive thing
[16:38] <jake-tm> Ein_: the default iso to download is the live cd
[16:38] <bidossessi> Ein_, maybe you didn't burn it right/ or you dlded the alternative install cd?
[16:38] <mame> Monobi it will. I just can figure out how to get Ubuntu on a thumbdrive. I have a 1 gig drive
[16:39] <underwatercow> lankyplanks: why do you need to install vncserver? For Remote Desktop?
[16:39] <Monobi> oh
[16:39] <javb> So, every ubuntu7.10 user is now WITHOUT flash ?
[16:39] <nickrud> MisterChief, next we'll go back to the graphical destop. You might very well get 600x800, but we'll work in it for a bit.  type    sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start  .  If it says gdm is already running,  run it again with restart instead of start
[16:39] <Strangework> wait what??
[16:39] <underwatercow> Flash is easy enough to install from the Flash site

[16:53] <nickrud> MisterChief,  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

[16:53] <thegadgetdude> I just installed ubuntu on my desktop, and can't connect to my wireless network, it see's it but fails to conect to it, judging by the forums this is a problem a few people have been having, any fix yet?
[16:53] <Strangework> kaiousama_, oh wait, no.
[16:54] <eckesicle> thegadgetdude, iwl4856?
[16:54] <releod> Can someone help me getting Netatalk to automatically start in Gutsy, or is there an issue with this? Anyway to start it with a custom script??
[16:54] <underwatercow> lankyplanks: Ok... I think I misunderstood. How are you connecting now?
[16:54] <MisterChief> nickrud: done, but still stayed in terminal
[16:54] <kaiousama_> Strangework: is the error code changed after the "apt-get clean"?
[16:54] <eckesicle> thegadgetdude, or something like that
[16:54] <aimaz> javb, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib" then in the same terminal run pidgin
[16:54] <javb> thegadgetdude, which wireless card do you have?
[16:54] <Strangework> kaiousama_, nahh, same error. :(
[16:54] <aimaz> that will check it works at least
[16:55] <golemz> i read that kernel 2.6.5 on have ufs2 read only support, so 7.10 should be capable of this, no? mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/ad2s1d /mnt. here's hoping.
[16:55] <thegadgetdude> I have a buffalo airstation g54 usb wi-fi dongle thing
[16:55] <lankyplanks> underwatercow: ssh

[16:55] <rodolfo> hey.. is there someone here who knows how Git works?
[16:56] <javb> aimaz, perfect... do i have to export it evrytime i would run pidgin ?
[16:56] <MisterChief> nickrud: it now says it is running in low graphics mode again
[16:56] <lankyplanks> newbie question....does gusty gibbon use kde or gnome by default?
[16:56] <FullMon-T> gnome
[16:56] <underwatercow> lankyplanks: GNOME
[16:56] <lankyplanks> thks
[16:56] <nickrud> MisterChief, wierd. ok,  type cd /etc/X11 , then   sudo cp xorg.conf.20080105163541 xorg.conf  . that will put you back to before we started the edits
[16:56] <Pikao> hello everyone
[16:56] <aimaz> javb, I imagine there is a more permanent way, but I haven't learnt that, perhaps someone else can answer that
[16:57] <javb> ok...
[16:57] <FullMon-T> SATA help please.
[16:57] <javb> i see
[16:57] <nickrud> MisterChief, missed your last, stay where you are
[16:57] <MisterChief> nickrud: okay
[16:57] <underwatercow> lankyplanks: You can use the -X extension with SSH to allow X apps to run
[16:57] <rodolfo> lankyplants: it depends on the distro. Ubuntu uses gnome. Kubuntu uses KDE...
[16:57] <Strangework> kaiousama_, nahh, same error. :(
[16:57] <Strangework> kaiousama_, what should I do now?
[16:57] <javb> pidgin says, "SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a supported SSL library."
[16:57] <javb> Any ideas?
[16:58] <underwatercow> rodolfo: He asked about Ubuntu... does Kubuntu count as Ubuntu? lol
[16:58] <thegadgetdude>  i did "sudo apt-get check" and came up only with "Building dependency tree"
[16:58] <eckesicle> lankyplanks, if you prefer KDE you can use kubuntu instead
[16:58] <eckesicle> lankyplanks, There is also Xubuntu which uses xfce!
[16:58] <releod> Can someone help me getting Netatalk to automatically start in Gutsy, or is there an issue with this? Anyway to start it with a custom script??
[16:58] <FullMon-T> What does "$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0)" mean?
[16:58] <rodolfo> underwatercow: he asked about GUSTY.. theres Ubuntu gutsy and Kubuntu Gutsy ¬¬
[16:59] <nickrud> MisterChief, I wanted to get to a better res to do the rest of what we're doing, but oh well.  gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log  and put a copy on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org . That's the log of how X started, I'm going to be looking for how your monitor was recognized
[16:59] <lankyplanks> lol, lots of choice...I'm fine with GNOME at the moment
[16:59] <kaiousama_> Strangework: the situation is beyoind my knowledge, it seems to me the case to look for a disk integrity check in order to see if there is an I/O error on some sectors of your hd.
[16:59] <underwatercow> rodolfo: Oh... eh... I read in a hurry I guess. But Ubuntu Gutsy is Gnome. The others are derivations. :-p
[16:59] <MisterChief> nickrud: should I click Continue?
[16:59] <rodolfo> underwatercow: tell me about it...
[16:59] <eckesicle> lankyplanks, ah yes. Indeed. You can also install several others. Fluxbox, blackbox, enlightenment, afterstep and so on. There's no end to the possibilities
[16:59] <FullMon-T> How do I add an option in the relevant row of the /etc/fstab file?
[16:59] <lankyplanks> Is there an easy way to test if GNOME is installed on the AMAZON AMI I am using?
[17:00] <Pikao> javb, it is possible that you need to install the package named libssl
[17:00] <nickrud> Continue? oh, yes to continue in low res
[17:00] <Strangework> Synaptic Package Manager will not allow me to download anything, once I have selected my software and clicked the  'apply' button, the program goes through half the process, and does not install it. I later attempted to install the program via the terminal, i received this error. dpkg: unable to create `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i': Input/output error E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2).
[17:00] <underwatercow> lankyplanks: if you run ssh -X, then you should be able to run vino-preferences
[17:00] <kaiousama_> Strangework: maybe you can also go check the reported file manually and since it seems a temp file, it should not be harmful to delete it.
[17:01] <lankyplanks> underwatercow: Ahh I see....thanks I'll will give this a go.
[17:01] <releod> when connected through SSH, is there anyways to open a window on my laptop to see the gui?
[17:01] <javb> Pikao, it is installed...
[17:01] <Strangework> kaiousama_, well the day before I used a command. sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash. could that affect it?
[17:01] <nickrud> Strangework, a stab in the dark, but does the directory /var/lib/dpkg/updates exist?
[17:01] <underwatercow> lankyplanks: hope that works for you :)
[17:01] <FullMon-T> How do I add an option in the relevant row of the /etc/fstab file?
[17:01] <MisterChief> nickrud: how can I paste it if I'm stuck in terminal?
[17:01] <dzb> Could anybody tell me if it is possible to have Gnome running on one screen while having a tty displayed in another screen on the same graphics card?
[17:01] <Strangework> nickurd: yes, it exists, in it is the file tmp.i
[17:01] <nickrud> MisterChief, didn't you continue into low graphics?
[17:02] <Pikao> javb, and openssl?
[17:02] <lankyplanks> underwatercow: Thanks your a star...Linux is great...am looking forward to ditching windows and .Net :)
[17:02] <MisterChief> nickrud: wait, it's come up if I want it diagnose the X server
[17:02] <evil_kevin> !editor > FullMon-T
[17:02] <nickrud> yes
[17:02] <thegadgetdude> Ok I'm using a buffalo airstation wi-fi adapter and I just installed ubuntu on my desktop, and can't connect to my wireless network, it see's it but fails to conect to it, judging by the forums this is a problem a few people have been having, any fix yet?
[17:02] <dr_willis> dzb:  ive heard its possible.. but its easier to just set up a wide X display. and fullsize a terminal window on the 2nd monitor
[17:02] <bility> hello how are you
[17:02] <bility> yes
[17:02] <kaiousama_> Strangework: i don't think so, try typying "bash" to see if it works.
[17:02] <javb> Pikao, too... maybe defining paths? (thing i not good at!)
[17:02] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, sudo nano /etc/fstab

[17:03] <dzb> dr_willis: well, I'm using fusion and I can't get it to work on dual screen so I'm using only one atm... that's how I cam up with the new idea... ^^
[17:03] <nickrud> xerxes1358, hi.
[17:03] <Pikao> javb, I don't know, these is the only packages related to SSL that I have installed
[17:03] <kaiousama_> Strangework: ok it means you're using the bash shell.
[17:03] <xerxes1358> Hi nickrud:)
[17:03] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, edit the forth column. Just append a comma (,) and your option. Then press Ctrl-O to save file, and then Ctrl-X to quit
[17:03] <xerxes1358> nickrud: ok where were again?
[17:04] <releod> can someone help me with netatalk?
[17:04] <Synx_hm> Is there anyway to get Ubuntu to use a normal laptop touch pad like the Mac two point system, ie two fingers for scrolling etc?
[17:04] <underwatercow> lankyplanks: I've only been using linux for a couple years, but I love it. The only reason I go back to Windows now is when I can't get a game to work in Linux using wine. ;-D

[17:04] <kaiousama_> Strangework: usually the "apt-get clean" removes the temporary files, maybe you should do it manually this time.
[17:04] <dzb> dr_willis: would you have any idea what I could google for to find information on that?
[17:04] <xerxes1358> hi lyy
[17:04] <nickrud> xerxes1358, you were going to install emerald, search for it in synaptic (ctl-f) and click the little box. Same with xchat :)
[17:04] <lyy> is runlevel 3 the corect run level to allow everything as before but without gui?
[17:04] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, the forth column has defaults,nls=utf8 etc. defaults is one option, nls=utf8 another. Hope it helps

[17:05] <rjune_> can anybody reccommend a web-based accounting program?
[17:05] <dr_willis> lyy:  if you dont want to run the gui. disable the gdm./kdm servie. I dont think Ubuntu uses the runlevels like other disrtos used to.
[17:05] <kaiousama_> Strangework: try to check what's inside that directory by typying "cd /var/lib/dpkg/updates/"
[17:05] <rjune_> preferably in ubuntu already
[17:05] <xerxes1358> nickrud: ok done what now?
[17:06] <kaiousama_> Strangework: and then "sudo rm tmp.i"

[17:08] <shaw> Can someone tell me why I can't download Excel 2007 into wine? I have the latest wine, but it tells me that I need a newer windows system. Thoughts?
[17:08] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, There's an error in your fstab file
[17:08] <xerxes1358> nickrud: no I get nice fonts now :D

[17:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about git - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:08] <dBarton__> How do I change the priority of the connection using ifconfig? I have tun0 interface, that's somehow is not being used as the first, thus I can not access it.
[17:09] <evil_kevin> shaw:is exel 2007 supported?
[17:09] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, change Vagina Gentium to Vagina\ gentium
[17:09] <MaxRandor> shaw see what version of windows wine is pretending to be, in the prefereces
[17:09] <Strangework> kaiousama_, Ew. I just realized that Dillo isn't very good looking. :P
[17:09] <dzb> dBarton__: sudo ifdown eth0
[17:09] <Strangework> kaiousama_, ah well, now we do not need to tackle this issue in the future. :)
[17:09] <dBarton__> dzb: that would put down eth0, but I use it to connect to openVPN, which is tun0.
[17:09] <eckesicle> FullMon-T,  the backslash escapes the space, otherwise it is interpreted as the next column
[17:10] <kaiousama_> Strangework: what kind of browser are you searching, a lightweight one? maybe you could try epiphany.
[17:10] <xerxes13> nickrud, sorry was dc'ed for a sec. It seems it works fine now. Should I do anything else ?
[17:10] <shaw> MAxRandor, how do I do that?
[17:10] <MisterChief> nickrud: I have to go now, should it work when  come back?

[17:10] <Strangework> kaiousama_, An alternatvie to Firefox, which hangs me computer to no end! :(
[17:10] <nickrud> MisterChief, you can try a reboot, but looking over that script we did nothing that would affect it
[17:10] <dzb> dBarton__: I don't get your problem then... I'm using VPN and I never needed to prim it in any way
[17:10] <FullMon-T> eckesicle: "Vagina Gentium" is the full name of the drive.
[17:10] <Strangework> kaiousama_, Preferably a GTK+ one, so it won't stick out when compared to the other windows
[17:10] <dBarton__> dzb: that's openvpn, which uses tun/tap.
[17:10] <kebinusan> I installed ubuntu on a new system (amd64) and after I select the kernel to boot the screen remains black until xwindows starts.  so I dont get a boot splash or boot progress, any idea how I fix that
[17:11] <dzb> dBarton__: same as I use..
[17:11] <MaxRandor> shaw: you should in your applications menu (assuming gnome) have a item called wine clicking on that shows a entry called configure wine, click on that
[17:11] <kaiousama_> Strangework: so epiphany is the way to go if you're on gnome, it uses firefox rendering engine, but is written with GTK+ and is very fast comparedto firefox in starting.
[17:11] <dr_willis> kebinusan:  disable the framebuffer for a start. thats what many other people have had to do.
[17:11] <dzb> dBarton__: what's not working? is no traffic lead over tun0?
[17:11] <dBarton__> dzb: well, I can not access addresses on that vpn network..
[17:11] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, yes but im pretty sure you need the backslash in your fstab
[17:11] <dBarton__> dzb: I think ye.

[17:12] <kebinusan> dr_willis: where do I go about disabling that
[17:12] <Zasch> Hello :) I'm trying to install flash, but when I click "Install Missing Plugins", it tells me that the plugin is already installed. What do I do?
[17:12] <Strangework> kaiousama_, Heh, I tried it, it works very well. except that it automatically opens links in new windows, and it began hanging my computer, just like firefox. :(
[17:12] <dBarton__> dzb: 200%
[17:12] <dzb> dBarton__: ok and you are on client or on server side now?
[17:12] <dBarton__> dzb: client
[17:12] <nickrud> !brokenflash | Zasch (look for the text in blue)
[17:12] <ubotu> Zasch (look for the text in blue): The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[17:13] <dBarton__> I have connected using openvpn...
[17:13] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, try to mount it first with these options before changing your fstab. also make sure you back fstab up
[17:13] <dr_willis> kebinusan:  in the /boot/menu.lst - You can change the default grub line options. as a test you can append 'nofb' to a grub  kernel entry when you boot from the grub  (hit e to edit the boot lines)
[17:13] <JC_Denton_> When using windows with vnc I use realvnc and realvnc server to connect to my client. Is there a vnc implementation for ubuntu that allows the server to contact the client?
[17:13] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, you can do it in nano by supplying -B as an option
[17:13] <FullMon-T> eckesicle: here is my fstab: http://pastebin.ca/842765
[17:14] <kebinusan> dr_willis: thanks, yeah Im readnig about it on google now
[17:14] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, i can't seem to load that page it's all blank
[17:14] <FullMon-T> eckesicle: how do I deal with Nano?
[17:15] <eckesicle> !nano | FullMon-T
[17:15] <ubotu> FullMon-T: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[17:15] <dr_willis> kebinusan:  its just adding nofb to some # line, then rerun 'sudo update-grub' I dont have a Ubuntu box handy to paste the exact line.
[17:15] <tssom> how do i go about to make the desktop look nicer? like transparant pannels, floating icons and such?

[17:26] <guardian> hi, i have an old P4 that runs windows with an onboard promise 376 raid controller. the controller requires a windows driver to work. i installed ubuntu on this box as well. will linux software raid 1 somehow damage the raid 1 "constructed" by the promise 376 windows driver ??? for the moment i just disabled access to those discs
[17:26] <ravun> does anyone know if this video card can work with compiz: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01)
[17:26] <MaxRandor> also I use many different wireless networks at different times so I need a program to manage it.
[17:26] <JC_Denton_> When using windows with vnc I use realvnc and realvnc server to connect to my client. Is there a vnc implementation for ubuntu that allows the server to contact the client?
[17:26] <sandr-> ravun, probably will, everything works with compiz haha
[17:26] <erUSUL> MaxRandor: Go to System>Admin>Net and disable roaming mode for your card (that's disabling nm) configure the card there
[17:27] <tr> iwconfig is quite handy, MaxRandor.
[17:27] <MaxRandor> but then I have to change it every time i use a different AP ?
[17:27] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, Apparently it doesn't like the backslash either
[17:27] <dzb> MaxRandor: Use Wicd then

[17:27] <tr> MaxRandor: youll get used to it ;)

[17:28] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, Okay sorry my mistake. backslash space does not work
[17:28] <JC_Denton_> But do you know of a vnc server that allows the user to connect it to a client
[17:28] <FullMon-T> eckesicle: I'm editing out the backslash by hand
[17:28] <MaxRandor> I will scare people off linux if I have to do that, there are several people who are begining to be interested If I have to configure wireless on the CLI they will run a mile. :-)
