[00:02] <Computer|Nerd> thingy no, it went through a process, but then it said 0 installed 0 removed and so on
[00:02] <Computer|Nerd> thingy, but I could've sworn that or something like that is what I have installed
[00:02] <phoenix5002> wirechief_intel: no I'm using the open source driver.  The one Ubuntu gave me when I installed.
[00:03] <dmhouse> Hey all. I've just upgraded to 8.04, and now my laptop won't play any music files -- I've tried playing MP3s and Ogg files with both Movie Player and Rhythmbox.

[00:06] <szx0> How do you remove a MD when configuring partitions for RAID?
[00:06] <CaptainMorgan> dmsuperman, it's beta- I assume? problems are abundant
[00:06] <gilan> randal: did you see menu-object
[00:06] <randal> gilan:  i now see a new thing object_3 it has it now what
[00:07] <gilan> randal: ok
[00:07] <wirechief_intel> phoenix5002: hmm, sounds like that driver is on the livecd (but am not sure)
[00:07] <randal> gilan:  now what do i clic
[00:07] <CaptainMorgan> dmsuperman, why they decided to ship an LTS version with beta I don't know...
[00:07] <gilan> randal: thats it
[00:07] <Starnestommy> I think most of the beta stuff will be upgraded to the final versions once they're out
[00:07] <dmsuperman> CaptainMorgan, Still gutsy, still <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:07] <randal> gilan: where do i tell it to use a differnt picture
[00:07] <gilan> randal: use_custom_icon  (right panel)
[00:08] <CaptainMorgan> dmsuperman, did you update your system?
[00:08] <dmsuperman> it's got all the latest updates
[00:08] <RyanPrior> xborgy: In fact, it looks like you can just do "sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash" and it'll be fine.
[00:08] <gilan> randal: and custom_icon (right panel)
[00:08] <CaptainMorgan> dmsuperman, I imagine then the latest updates have done something to it... but I'm not certain
[00:08] <gilan> randal: did you see its
[00:08] <phoenix5002> wirechief_intel: well I've tried upgrading it before and I have problems with the fglrx and the ones on the ati website.  and I have trouble getting back to the driver I have now, but I did a fresh install of Hardy so I want to back up this driver before I try upgrading it with envy
[00:08] <szx0> How do you remove a MD when configuring partitions for RAID? When I try to "Delete MD device", I see the two MD's that I created but no longer want (md1_raid0 , md2_raid0) I receive the error: "There was an error deleting the multidisk device. It may be in use." The only way I was able to recover from this previous was perform a low-level format (turn all bits to 0... I really don't want to do that again)
[00:09] <dmsuperman> CaptainMorgan, I think it's the times new roman font, it seems to somehow have been damaged.
[00:09] <xborgy> RyanPrior: nice thanks alot brother!
[00:09] <CaptainMorgan> dmsuperman, try a different font? what happens?
[00:09] <macd> szx0, next time try unmounting it.
[00:09] <randal> gilan: ? right click it?
[00:09] <szx0> macd, how do I go about do that?
[00:09] <gilan> randal: no left click
[00:09] <macd> szx0, "man umount"
[00:09] <gilan> randal: value
[00:10] <wirechief_> phoenix5002: ok well, i would of thought you were using a vesa driver but its not coming up that way
[00:10] <macd> szx0, additionally, "man mdadm"
[00:10] <randal> gilan: i got it to work thank you
[00:10] <gilan> randal: really??
[00:10] <CaptainMorgan> is the performance in 64-bit Ubuntu noticeable versus the 32-bit version ? I'm not asking an architectural question per se, but an *ubuntu* question....
[00:10] <dmsuperman> CaptainMorgan, DejaVuSans looks better, but still really weak somehow
[00:10] <wirechief_> phoenix5002: i have fglrx installed (had problems too ) and fell back it come up with vesa
[00:10] <macd> CaptainMorgan, on the desktop, no.
[00:10] <randal> gilan: when you click it it doesn nothing
[00:10] <gilan> randal: 1 sec.
[00:10] <szx0> macd, I know how to use unmount. But that seems very irrelevant during the Ubuntu Installation procedure... I don't  have access to any command prompt. I don't even have proper partitions?
[00:11] <yell0w> hey guys does anyone know how to reduce ntop's resource consumption ?
[00:11] <randal> gilan: nvm its working
[00:11] <CaptainMorgan> macd, I've got my memory maxed at 4gbs... I'd like to address that last GB that isn't addressed in 32-bit OSs... or is ubuntu not affected by this addressing ?
[00:11] <macd> szx0, you have right click in gparted to unmount then.
[00:11] <wirechief_> phoenix5002: i just changd macines here
[00:11] <macd> CaptainMorgan, thats a good enough reason to use 64bit
[00:12] <yell0w> hey guys does anyone know how to reduce ntop's resource consumption ?
[00:12] <szx0> macd, there is no right-click in the text-based installation
[00:12] <macd> yell0w, dont use it
[00:12] <randal> gilan: but it doesent show places or system settings and stuff
[00:12] <wirechief_> phoenix5002: when i did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i ended up with vesa
[00:12] <yell0w> macd: do you know something similar to it but not such a resource hog ?
[00:12] <macd> szx0, on a text based install you'd want to not use the guided partitioning, and use advanced.
[00:12] <filthpig> hi, I was by here earlier today about a problem with apt claiming my drive was full allthough I installed ubuntu from scratch last week and my root partition is ~10 gb. apt-get clean fixed that, but upon further inspection I find that my root partition actually IS full, but I can't understand what's taking up so much space since my /home is a separate partition and I never use root partition actively.. any ideas what might be causing this?
[00:12] <macd> yell0w, not really, its just a hog
[00:13] <wirechief_> phoenix5002: when i have a ati1300
[00:13] <szx0> macd, I am not using the guided partition. I don't even think the guided partition can be used for RAID. I am configuring my partitions manually.
[00:13] <macd> yell0w, for on the fly I use "bmon" but its no where near as good as ntop

[00:14] <tyler> I installed samba from the respitories...where is the documentation for it...?

[00:14] <Fogel1497> When I hit the media buttons on my keyboard such as play, pause, next track, volume up volume down, nothing happens. For things like volume up/down and mute i see the correct corresponding gfx on my screen indicating the action is taking place, however the actual audio output is unchanged. For buttons like play/pause i see nothing on screen and nothing happens. Any ideas how i can get my keyboard media buttons functioning?
[00:14] <gilan> randal: my conf
[00:14] <macd> szx0, after you found your raid devices unable to be deleted from that disk partitioner, you should have gone to a alternate tty and used mdadm to delete the raid devices
[00:14] <Calvin87> Hello all
[00:14] <Calvin87> How do I automatically mount in NTFS drive in HH ?
[00:14] <phoenix5002> wirechief_: well is there a general way to backup any video driver, or is it different for different drivers?
[00:14] <macd> szx0, its assumed if your messing with softraid you know your way around the utilities that manage it
[00:15]  * macd food calls
[00:15] <Calvin87> I know you edit /etc/fstab -- but what file system type do you use?
[00:15] <Starnestommy> Calvin87: I think it's ntfs
[00:15] <xborgy> RyanPrior: it all worked fantasticly,i dont why or how something got stuck in the Trash in teh first place?
[00:15] <wirechief_> phoenix5002: i just backup the xorg.conf
[00:15] <gilan> randal: ok??
[00:15] <Jonty> why does apt keep packages back?
[00:15] <RyanPrior> xborgy: It is indeed strange, but it might have been caused by using sudo nautilus.
[00:15] <openuser> Why any of flash player (flash-player nonfree, gnash and swfdec) are not working???
[00:15] <Starnestommy> Jonty: which packages?
[00:15] <RyanPrior> xborgy: If you use Nautilus as root, make sure you use gksudo.
[00:15] <phoenix5002> wirechief_: I tried that and it doesn't work because the driver on ati's website has the same name I think so it overwrites the one I currently have, or something like that
[00:16] <wirechief_> phoenix5002: i just backup the xorg.conf   cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[00:16] <xborgy> im so new i dont know what Nautilus is
[00:16] <Starnestommy> xborgy: it's the file manager or file browser
[00:16] <Boohbah> xborgy: gnome graphical file manager
[00:16] <Jonty> Starnestommy: well, I did apt-get upgrade amarok and it's keeping back amarok
[00:16] <xborgy> ahh yes ok
[00:16] <phoenix5002> wirechief_: basically the xorg.conf file looks exactly the same after I upgrade as it does now, but the driver is different, I have no "direct rendering" with the proprietary driver
[00:16] <Starnestommy> Jonty: does it say anything else?
[00:17] <filthpig> RyanPrior, oh, thanks! Found the problem almost instantly :D My first attemt in making a backup started putting the backup on root instead of external drive :D
[00:17] <Jonty> Starnestommy: 5 not fully installed or removed
[00:17] <ryanakca> Why does a GPG key id start with 0x ?
[00:17] <Starnestommy> Jonty: could you please pastebin the whole output?
[00:17] <Jonty> Starnestommy: but that didn't stop it with a bunch of other packages
[00:17] <Calvin87> Starnestommy: Hrm... aren't they supposed to automatically mount?
[00:17] <RyanPrior> filthpig: It's a neat little app, isn't it? :-)
[00:17] <Calvin87> For some reason it didnt

[00:26] <Flip2405> Starnestommy im makeing it now to see if it works
[00:26] <zelrikriando> If anybody wonders how to change his theme : http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=jmA0VMd0w1E
[00:26] <FrankiBoi> should i run this in a terminal? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[00:26] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior, can you tab to it? and use arrow keys to expand/collapse? or spacebar?
[00:26] <FrankiBoi> will these make the user list appear?
[00:26] <pulseezar> thanks again
[00:26] <matt___> i remember seeing a movie where they insert a usb device into a slot on a keyboard. This seems really neat, but do they really make keyboards like this? Sorry for asking this here, I just didn't know where else to ask it.
[00:26] <zelrikriando> Let me know if you like the vid or not
[00:27] <kindofabuzz> FrankiBoi: oh a list? i dunno
[00:27] <Starnestommy> FrankiBoi: try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[00:27] <ghindo> I was wondering if someone could help me - my sound stopped working properly after upgrading to 8.04.
[00:27] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: I've tried that stuff. I can tab to it, but arrow keys and spacebar do nothing.
[00:27] <wirechief_> pulseezar: welll what happens can you set your res to something else ?
[00:27] <FrankiBoi> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[00:27] <kindofabuzz> that will make gdm appear, don't know about a user list, look in your login preferances
[00:27] <FrankiBoi> that?
[00:27] <usser> matt___, sure take mac keyboards for example
[00:27] <matt___> usser: ahhh...mac keyboards...
[00:27] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: I got an answer in ##linux though: + and - open and close the nodes, respectively.
[00:28] <pulseezar> only things less than 800x600 i suppose
[00:28] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior,  The "+" and "-" keys ( not on the keypad)
[00:28] <D-Unit> i have cinelerra installed but wen i go in the ubuntu menu to run it or click on the shhortcut on my taskbar it doesnt run at all ive even reinstalled the program and restarted ubuntu several times and still, it doesnt run
[00:28] <D-Unit> help plz
[00:28] <matt___> usser: lettme take a look at that...however...if i were to get one of those nice keyboards, would it work on my pc with linux installed?
[00:28] <pulseezar> which is of course only going to make things worse!
[00:28] <bam_> Hi guys. I am trying to remove a lot of folders with the same name inside another folder with a lot of under folders. Is there any way I can get rm to run through the whole folder and remove any sign of any folder with that name?
[00:28] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior,  lol, was hitin you with it same time
[00:28] <usser> matt___, yes its layout is a little weird though, im sure theres lots of pc keyboards with usb
[00:29] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: I would prefer that the keyboard toggle them though.
[00:29] <cylux> For some reason I cannot increase the resolution of my screen passed 1024x768, why is that?
[00:29] <wirechief_> pulseezar:  you might be able to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and get better but backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[00:29] <matt___> usser: i figured logitech would have one, but i can't find any
[00:29] <ndee> hey there, does anyone have Evolution and Google Calendar running? I can't save meetings or events to my Google Calendar.
[00:29] <D-Unit> cylux, u can add resolutions with a command (doesnt work with hardy anymore) or u can use envy to get the proprietary driver for ur video card so that all resolutions r detected
[00:29] <wirechief_> pulseezar: just use default answers
[00:30] <ghindo> cylux:  What sort of computer are you using?  Have you checked to see if restricted drivers help?
[00:30] <FrankiBoi> That didn't work
[00:30] <cylux> ghindo: I have the restricted drivers now and basically I have every resolution available UP TO 1024x768
[00:30] <sparda> Am I assuming that rt73 drivers are broken in 8.04
[00:30] <FrankiBoi> The users do not appear in the Login Window face browser
[00:30] <RyanPrior> ndee: I don't think anybody actually uses Evolution. They just pretend to, while actually using their web browsers or Thunderbird or Alpine or similar.
[00:30] <sparda> ?
[00:30] <ghindo> cylux:  Huh.  What resolution is it SUPPOSED to be at, and what sort of graphics card are you running?
[00:31] <FrankiBoi> How can I make them re-appear
[00:31] <llll> Hi! is it me or firefox is particularly buggy with flash in Ubuntu 8.04?
[00:31] <pulseezar> cheers again!
[00:31] <matt___> usser: so how would you google search for them? anything with usb and keyboard comes up with usb keyboards...
[00:31] <RyanPrior> llll: Certianly not just you! It's a major known bug.
[00:31] <wirechief_> cylux you can see what is available using xrandr    and xrandr -s 1024x768  whatever
[00:31] <D-Unit> llll, go to synaptic remove firefox-3.0beta5 and install firefox-2
[00:31] <usser> matt___, keyboard with usb port
[00:31] <matt___> usser: hmmm..i'll try. thanks
[00:31] <SeaPhor> I use Evolution for 4 email accts, and am quite happy with it
[00:32] <cylux> ghindo: I want it at something greater than 1024x768, I have a 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)
[00:32] <RyanPrior> D-Unit: installing Firefox 2 fixes the Flash bug?
[00:32] <usser> matt___, bam first link http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1649623&Sku=E261-1038&SRCCODE=NEXTAG&CMP=EMC-NEXTAG
[00:32] <ndee> RyanPrior: hm, okay
[00:32] <FrankiBoi> The users do not appear in the Login Window face browser... how can I make them reappear?
[00:32] <Starnestommy> it may or may not fix it
[00:32] <D-Unit> RyanPrior, lol im not sure but its the latest stable release
[00:32] <Gin> hardy 64bit works like a charm, sound out of the box, wireless works out of the box too. :-)
[00:32] <matt___> usser: yep, but i doubt they make wireless ones...:(
[00:33] <emma> That's wonderful to hear Gin
[00:33] <kingair_six> hey everybody, any wifi geek round by any chance? I got some serious issue with my belkin PCMCIA card
[00:33] <ghindo> cylux:  Not sure what to do next.  Have you checked the forums or Googled the problem?
[00:33] <RyanPrior> D-Unit: If you're not sure, please don't suggest that as a course of action. I haven't heard from anybody else that it fixes the problem.
[00:33] <livingdaylight> hello
[00:33] <david__--> can someone help me install amsn plugins please?
[00:33] <FrankiBoi> The users do not appear in the Login Window face browser... how can I make them reappear?
[00:33] <cylux> ghindo: Haha thanks anyway
[00:33] <usser> matt___, hm... i dunno... keep looking they just might :P
[00:33] <RyanPrior> !hi | livingdaylight
[00:33] <Starnestommy> FrankiBoi: when did they stop appearing?
[00:33] <ghindo> I was wondering if someone could help me - my sound stopped working properly after upgrading to 8.04.
[00:33] <livingdaylight> so, when i attach an external usb hard drive and play either audio or video xubuntu crashes
[00:33] <D3RGPS31> grub question - how do i remove the text and boarder of grub, so it only shows my splash image and the OS choices? >.>
[00:33] <matt___> usser: thanks though
[00:33] <FrankiBoi> After an update today
[00:33] <FrankiBoi> they disappeated
[00:33] <RyanPrior> david__--: What problems are you having? What have you tried already?
[00:33] <PCDJ> i installed chatzilla and it doesn't show anywhere lol
[00:33] <Starnestommy> FrankiBoi: update of what?
[00:34] <FrankiBoi> Update manager
[00:34] <wirechief_> ghindo try #alsa they can help you with sound
[00:34] <D-Unit> RyanPrior, well if it doesnt u can easily put the beta of firefox 3 back..
[00:34] <inertial> so with the new screen resolution tool in preferences, it's supposed to show two monitors if you have two plugged in?
[00:34] <Starnestommy> FrankiBoi: you might need to change the GDM theme
[00:34] <FrankiBoi> it updated lots of things --evolution, etc.
[00:34] <matt___> usser: but once i did see in a business a monitor with two ports built in, sorta mimicking the imacs, that was NEAT
[00:34] <FrankiBoi> I changed it and the problem remains
[00:34] <Gin> emma: maybe it is just my feeling but ff3 beta 5 works much smoother on a fresh install than the upgrade from gutsy to hardy. :\
[00:34] <RyanPrior> D-Unit: that doesn't make it a desirable piece of advice to give, IMO.
[00:34] <PCDJ> my 1st day with ubuntu
[00:34] <ghindo> wirechief thanks
[00:34] <david__--> Ryanprior:well,im a bit new to linux still so im sure the problem lies with me...im trying to copy extracted files to the amsn plugin folder but it isnt working out for me
[00:34] <Gin> congratulation PCDJ
[00:34] <D-Unit> RyanPrior, ok im sry :(
[00:35] <pulseezar> wirechief_: seems like reconfiguring xorg only affects the keyboard?
[00:35] <PCDJ> :)
[00:35] <RyanPrior> Gin: There are some known bottlenecks to FF3 performance, some of which are exacerbated by having existing FF2 data. Those are being worked on.
[00:35] <PCDJ> i am gonna try to slowly ween myself off XP lol
[00:35] <RyanPrior> Gin: Sometimes you can get a huge speedup by deleting all your browser history.
[00:35] <livingdaylight> any help for xubuntu available here?
[00:35] <wirechief_> pulseezar: ok then try dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[00:35] <livingdaylight> #xubuntu is dead
[00:35] <FrankiBoi> The users do not appear in the Login Window face browser... how can I make them reappear?
[00:36] <charlie> Has anyone tested the integrity of ubuntu-8.04 on their disk?
[00:36] <Mirro> usser: thank you!
[00:36] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, Congrats!, I am almost completely free of MS, 1 more step and i'll be done with all things MS
[00:36] <Starnestommy> livingdaylight: this channel supports all versions of ubuntu
[00:36] <PCDJ> i think i have that one lol
[00:36] <RyanPrior> charlie: Yes, people have done so. Why do you ask?
[00:36] <emma> I'm still ambiguous about FF3, I did a fresh install of Hardy and it might just be me but FF3 is feeling kind of slow.
[00:36] <PCDJ> ty
[00:36] <PCDJ> i will get rid of gates lol
[00:36] <wirechief_> charlie yes you can if you burned the disk DAO  use md5sum /dev/cdrom check the result with the actual md5
[00:37] <livingdaylight> Starnestommy: so maybe you can tell me why xubuntu crashes, when i try to play any media from an external hard drive?
[00:37] <mrfeetio> i am having video playback problems
[00:37] <RyanPrior> david__--: Are you getting an error? How is it "not working"?
[00:37] <cylux> Hey guys, now I can get a 1280x1024 resolution to show up as an option, but when I select it, there is no change.
[00:37] <Starnestommy> livingdaylight: could you please pastebin the output of dmesg?
[00:37] <charlie> I downloaded from three mirrors and three cd's with the same three errors found
[00:37] <benpicco> How can I (a shell script) find out what's the default window manager if compiz is unavaliable (but running)?
[00:38] <wirechief_> cylux use xrandr -s 1280x1024
[00:38] <RyanPrior> charlie: Perhaps your CD burner is faulty?
[00:38] <heridanus> hey guys im from brazil can you help me with gimp ?
[00:38] <david__--> Ryanprior:says missing file destination after my folder that has the plugin extract,yet im copying the file locations exact
[00:38] <emma> heridanus, you might want to try #gimp for that.
[00:38] <mgolisch> benpicco: compiz is unavailible but running?
[00:38] <FrankiBoi> The users do not appear in the Login Window face browser... how can I make them reappear?
[00:38] <mgolisch> howdoes that work?
[00:38] <RyanPrior> heridanus: Would you prefer help in Portuguese? #ubuntu-br is available for that.
[00:38] <cylux> wirechief_: Can't open display
[00:38] <Kirce> dose anyone know how i can migrate my current install to my new 200g drive?
[00:38] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, theres tons of resorces out there for new ppl, I am a n00b myself so I've been logging the resorces i've found on my website
[00:39] <wirechief_> cylux use sudo in front of that but also check sudo xrandr
[00:39] <FrankiBoi> The users in the Login Window face browser are gone How can I get them back?
[00:39] <mgolisch> Kirce: rsync maybe
[00:39] <PCDJ> i cant find a printer driver but i will not give up lol
[00:39] <benpicco> mgolisch, no, what window manager would be started if compiz wouldn't be supported by the hardware
[00:39] <cylux> wirechief_: Sais can't open display, no matter what I do
[00:39] <charlie_> is it possible to burn it with the DVD burner
[00:39] <wirechief_> PCDJ hang in there.
[00:39] <livingdaylight> Starnestommy: http://pastebin.com/m7b023230
[00:40] <heridanus> RyanPrior thank you very much but in ubuntu-br they dont help me its why i am here
[00:40] <Kirce> dont have any dvds lol, what about an image and then just move it to the hard drive?
[00:40] <wirechief_> cylux which graphic card and driver are you using ?
[00:40] <heridanus> but in gimp someone answer me now
[00:40] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, it may already be there, have you gone to System>Administration>Printers and add a printer?
[00:40] <heridanus> thanks
[00:40] <cylux> wirechief_: I was using the nvidia one, but I switched back so I could get a bigger resolution. Now i'm on generic that came with install
[00:40] <RyanPrior> heridanus: Okay. Can you describe what sort of problem you're having with Gimp?
[00:40] <mgolisch> benpicco: hm maybe default to whatever ships with *-desktop meta package
[00:40] <charlie_> RyanPrior: is it possible to burn it with the DVD burner
[00:41] <heridanus> its how i use the brushes
[00:41] <Kirce> mgolisch: what about somtyhing like ghost image  my current drive and installing it on the other drive?
[00:41] <RyanPrior> charlie_: I'm not sure. Can you burn other CDs without problem? Can you burn an older Ubuntu distro without a problem?
[00:41] <wirechief_> cylux did you use dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to get back the default ?
[00:41] <Starnestommy> livingdaylight: now try to access something on that drive, then run dmesg again and pastebin what it says
[00:41] <FrankiBoi> The users in the Login Window face browser are gone How can I get them back?
[00:41] <heridanus> i have a extensive colection of them
[00:41] <cylux> wirechief_: No, I just used the GUI.
[00:41] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, correction: it may already be there, have you gone to System>Administration>Printing and new printer?
[00:41] <mgolisch> Kirce: i dont know of such a tool, you could use trueimage or ghost mostlikel if you have that
[00:41] <heridanus> but they are black and white
[00:42] <charlie_> idunno
[00:42] <dabaR> gaintsura: I'll tell you here
[00:42] <heridanus> in the site there always a sample colorized
[00:42] <wirechief_> cylux try that but backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf first so you can get back if you have to use livecd
[00:42] <RyanPrior> heridanus: When you put your text on many lines, it's difficult for me to follow what you are saying. Can you put your questions and responses on one long line please?
[00:42] <Starnestommy> FrankiBoi: check System > Administration > Login Window, go to the Local tab, select Style, then select "Themed with face browser" from the dropdown
[00:42] <FrankiBoi> The users in the Login Window face browser are gone How can I get them back?
[00:42] <Kirce> but it is possible to make an image of my drive and install it on another drive and it would be completly usable like my current one
[00:42] <livingdaylight> Starnestommy: if i try to access something the whole screen goes funny and everything freezes. Wont even let me do cntr+alt+backspace
[00:42] <heridanus> oh forgive me
[00:42] <randal> how do you install new icons
[00:42] <Kirce> ?
[00:42] <PCDJ> it has a close in number i have a 465 it shows a 400
[00:43] <RyanPrior> heridanus: Forgiven. :-)   Are you having trouble using brushes in color?
[00:43] <mgolisch> Kirce: yeah using trueimage or ghost
[00:43] <livingdaylight> Starnestommy: obliged to override and hold the on  button down until it shuts down before i can reboot
[00:43] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, ? under same brand type/model?
[00:43] <kingair_six> does anybody have any idea on what to do with a recognized wlan pcmcia card, that according to network manager does not recognize anything? drivers are updated, b43 from linuxwireless.org or so, chipset is broadcom, belkin 7010 PC card
[00:43] <Kirce> mgolisch: ok cool thanx ill look into it
[00:43] <mevsthevoices> randal: find the new icon pack then install it using preferences -> appearences -> install
[00:43] <kingair_six> any thoughts? please?
[00:43] <Starnestommy> livingdaylight: I'm not sure what's causing it
[00:43] <RyanPrior> !helpme | kingair_six
[00:44] <heridanus> how i colorize then?
[00:44] <m_tadeu2> hi everyone
[00:44] <FrankiBoi> I found the bug for my problem... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/229208         does anyone know of any workaround??
[00:44] <hou5ton> regarding getting dual monitors working on my laptop, "Detect Displays" apparantly isn't working.  Any ideas?
[00:44] <pulseezar> wirechief_: all I get is xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[00:44] <pulseezar>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080512003720

[00:44] <dabaR> gaintsura: sudo pecl install mailparse
[00:44] <pulseezar> pretty gash
[00:44] <gaintsura> yeah, I got it, thanks dabaR.. just lookin for the others now
[00:44] <cylux> Hey guys, now I can get a 1280x1024 resolution to show up as an option, but when I select it, there is no change.
[00:44] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, whats the next one after that?
[00:44] <mysterioso> hey folks!  is the 8.04 upgrade reliable yet?  and should I just click the upgrade button in the update manager?  or is there a better way to upgrade?
[00:44] <m_tadeu2> how can  I make a network share to the internet? something like a ftp but with nfs or something like that?
[00:45] <PCDJ> dont remember i think it was way off though
[00:45] <FrankiBoi> NO DONT UPGRADE
[00:45] <FrankiBoi> Look at me
[00:45] <mgolisch> m_tadeu2: you dont want to
[00:45] <fallenangel> If a program stops responding and will not close how do I end the program?
[00:45] <FrankiBoi> im suffering
[00:45] <RyanPrior> mysterioso: I've been suggesting that people wait until 8.04.1 unless there is some feature in Hardy that they really want. There are a few bugs which are, while not major, frequently annoying.
[00:45] <mgolisch> fallenangel: kill -9 PID
[00:45] <FrankiBoi> I found the bug for my problem... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/229208         does anyone know of any workaround??
[00:45] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, ok, try the 400cn, if it doesnt work, go to brother's website then ...
[00:45] <wirechief_> pulseezar: well i usually backup using cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak then  you can run, that is the normal comment, it wil be over writing your xorg.conf thats what the warning is all about
[00:45] <RyanPrior> mysterioso: It is pretty reliable, but if you do upgrade, please make sure you back up any really important data.
[00:45] <m_tadeu2> mgolisch: oh yes I do :)
[00:46] <mgolisch> m_tadeu2: no you dont
[00:46] <[Lowkey]> Hey guys.. everytime I plug in my laptop, my mouse starts acting all crazy and starts clicking randomly.. can someone help me?
[00:46] <PCDJ> trying now
[00:46] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, search on their site for linux drivers
[00:46] <mgolisch> you dont want to use nfs over the internet
[00:46] <m_tadeu2> mgolisch: don't have to be nfs....but something
[00:46] <Kirce> mgolisch: trueimage is for windows do you or anyone know of an app like trueimage taht is linux based?
[00:46] <RyanPrior> heridanus: Does the color applet on the main window not work
[00:46] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, yes, try the 400cn first, will prolly work
[00:46] <RyanPrior> heridanus: I just click the top square and select a color, and my brush becomes colorized.
[00:46] <inertial> how do i do an automatic reconfiguration of xorg?
[00:47] <randal> when ever i change the icons my folders dont change why
[00:47] <mgolisch> Kirce: thatswhat i said if you have that its ok
[00:47] <inertial> i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[00:47] <mgolisch> it can buikd a bootable disk
[00:47] <mysterioso> thanks guys!  Im glad I asked first.
[00:47] <inertial> but it just put default in everything
[00:47] <heridanus> i'll try it
[00:47] <wirechief_> Kirce the DD command can do it but you have to be very carefull and learn how it is used properly.
[00:47] <cylux> Hey guys, now I can get a 1280x1024 resolution to show up as an option in the resolution selection menu, but when I select it, there is no change, my desktop resolution does not change.
[00:47] <mgolisch> but dd cant expand the new partitions and stuff
[00:47] <mgolisch> thats sucky
[00:47] <Kirce> wirechief: were can i found info on it?
[00:48] <christinia120> Hello - Can't play DVD movie have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed - any ideas?
[00:48] <mgolisch> id just create the partitions on the new drive and copy stuff using cp /rsync or tar

[00:48] <emma> cylux - you went to System > Preferences > Screen Resolution ?
[00:48] <m_tadeu2> so...what would be the best way to share a directory over the internet?
[00:48] <RyanPrior> christinia120: If you live in a jurisdiction where de-CSS is legal, you can install the decss library to play encrypted DVDs.
[00:48] <jack-desktop> should i choose 8.04 AMD or 8.04 x86?
[00:48] <wirechief_> Kirce the DD command use google, i have done it but there are lots of user bewares with it. it copys every bit on the hd you need a same size hd to copy to
[00:49] <SeaPhor> PCDJ, helpful hint, in this channel, type the name of the person you are talking to so they see it distinctly (also: just type the first few letters then hit "Tab" key till their name is there)
[00:49] <heridanus> i think i m using they in the wrong way they are open like a image and no installed they dont colorize

[00:50] <linkmaster03> how can I make a man entry for a command?
[00:50] <pulseezar> wirechief_: I've backed up, but still cant get the reconfigure xserver -phigh command to work
[00:50] <wirechief_> Kirce you can also use

[00:50] <wirechief_> cp /dev/sda /dev/sdb

[00:51] <wirechief_> Kirce: but you need to know what partition name you have that is just a example
[00:51] <Kirce> thats ok there isnt anything there
[00:51] <tyler> is there any way to set up nfs in a gui interface vs doing it in terminal or whatever with all these damn commands
[00:51] <linkmaster03> RyanPrior: wow tricky
[00:51] <portokaosol> does anyone know how can I see what hardware drivers I am using, or how can I access the devices manager in Xubuntu?
[00:51] <wirechief_> inertial yes
[00:51] <mgolisch> nfs exorts can be managed using shares-admin
[00:52] <NumlF> Hola, Ubuntu fiends

[00:52] <RobbieRob> Howdy, I have Windows installed on my computer aswell as Ubuntu. I want to use a program to access my windows on another harddrive. What would be the best way to do this.
[00:52] <tyler> mgolisch: whats shares-admin im a noob
[00:52] <SeaPhor> inertial, try without the -phigh
[00:52] <NumlF> I just tried to transfer pictures from my camera to Ubuntu with no success
[00:53] <NumlF> On pushing the camera dock button, Ubuntu said it found a camera and wanted to know if I wanted to transfer the pictures to my album
[00:53] <Kirce> teh search tool on the forums sucks imo
[00:53] <NumlF> I clicked yes, and... nothing happened?
[00:53] <RyanPrior> RobbieRob: your windows, lower case, or your Windows, upper case?
[00:53] <mysterioso> what is a good site to download gdm's?
[00:53] <mgolisch> tyler:  a command what else
[00:53] <RobbieRob> Windows (microsoft)
[00:53] <RyanPrior> mysterioso: What are GDMs? Gnome Display Managers?
[00:54] <linkmaster03> Where can I get the ELF command as this shows bash:  ELF   : command not found
[00:54] <mysterioso> ryanprior  yes
[00:54] <Starnestommy> mysterioso: are you talking about GDM themes?
[00:54] <RyanPrior> RobbieRob: So, you want to set up a utility in Ubuntu to allow a remote machine to access your Windows filesystem?
[00:54] <gaintsura> having problems installing crack extension for PHP5, as well as SSH2 extension for PHP... crack gives me a long error, SSH2 throws warnings then exits
[00:54] <mysterioso> gdm = gnome display manager
[00:54] <RyanPrior> mysterioso: As far as I know, the GDM installed by default in Ubuntu is the best one available.
[00:54] <portokaosol>  how can I access the devices manager in Xubuntu?
[00:54] <RobbieRob> Correct, So I can access iTunes and burn my music to a CD to import them back to mp3's.
[00:54] <kumar> hello
[00:54] <mysterioso> i just want a new picture and stuff
[00:55] <wirechief_> RobbieRob:  just mount it after you mkdir /mnt/sda1  (if windows is sda1)  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
[00:55] <linkmaster03> Where can I get the ELF command as this shows "bash:  ELF   : command not found"
[00:55] <kumar> this is businer then the one on freenode
[00:55] <RyanPrior> RobbieRob: As far as I know, iTunes does not work well on Ubuntu.
[00:55] <kumar> is there a bot in here?
[00:55] <kumar> like in freenode
[00:55] <Starnestommy> kumar: this is on freenode
[00:55] <RyanPrior> !bot
[00:55] <kumar> oops
[00:55] <kumar> i knew that
[00:55] <RyanPrior> kumar: This is freenode. Welcome. :-)
[00:55] <kumar> wait how
[00:55] <mysterioso> I used to know a good site, but i have a new computer.  soooo, anyone know any good ones?
[00:55] <RobbieRob> @wirecheif_ How do I find out what windows is. Cause I dont htink its sda1
[00:55] <kumar> i thought its on ubuntu server
[00:55] <NumlF> So anyone have a tip for getting these pictures off my camera?
[00:55] <kumar> i have been here before in that case:-D
[00:55] <fallenangel> portokaosol:  how can I access the devices manager in Xubuntu? system->administrator->system monitor
[00:55] <Starnestommy> kumar: irc.ubuntu.com is just a pointer to irc.freenode.net
[00:55] <phillip> Could someone help me troubleshoot why my built-in microphone for my HP Pavilion dv9000 won't work on Ubuntu 8.04?
[00:55] <kumar> ah
[00:55] <kumar> i see
[00:56] <RyanPrior> kumar: Nope. It's operated by the Ubuntu community, but Freenode is nice enough to host the servers for us.

[01:00] <D3RGPS31> wirechief: =P
[01:00] <RyanPrior> phillip: How user friendly are we talking? There's the Open Video Editor (http://www.openmovieeditor.org/) but it's not foolproof.
[01:01] <mgolisch> Berengal: i think you need to download the driver from creative
[01:01] <pavlizz> Can anyone help me I have some problems with software RAID and installation of ubuntu server
[01:01] <USN1520> any major issues with kde4 I should know about before installing on top of ubuntu
[01:01] <Berengal> mgolisch: I did
[01:01] <bluefox83> !gnome-voice-control
[01:01] <wirechief_> phillip: go to #alsa they can give you a script for that
[01:01] <image_q> hey how do I check to see how many bits I am running on and how do I change from 32 to 64?
[01:01] <Berengal> That's the one that doesn't work
[01:01] <Starnestommy> image_q: uname -m
[01:01] <phillip> RyanPrior: I mean basically a timeline/storyboard system with drag and drop effects.
[01:01] <jrib> image_q: uname -m; reinstall
[01:01] <phillip> Something that will be as simple as apt-get install X
[01:01] <mgolisch> Berengal: and compile it, afaik it only works on 64bit systems and needs a gcc older than 4.0 to compile
[01:01] <NumlF> I've toyed with the camera a bit some more, folks, and still have had no luck. Does anyone have any advice?
[01:01] <image_q> it says i686
[01:02] <Starnestommy> image_q: that's 32-bt
[01:02] <RyanPrior> phillip: Cinellera, Open Video Editor, Avidemux... give those a try, see if they are any good.
[01:02] <wirechief_> image_q:  you need to download and burn the 64bit version of Ubuntu
[01:02] <Starnestommy> *-bit
[01:02] <Berengal> mgolisch: OLDER that 4.0?
[01:02] <image_q> can it be installed on a core2 quad?
[01:02] <Starnestommy> image_q: uname -m shows x86_64 on 64-bit
[01:02] <Starnestommy> image_q: I think so
[01:02] <image_q> thanks
[01:02] <NumlF> F-Spot Photo Manager just doesn't load at all.
[01:02] <mgolisch> yeah, it doesnt compile with gcc 4.0 and newer

[01:02] <joecurlee> how do i get a menu to choose which system to boot in to?
[01:02] <phillip> Cinelerra is too complex. Any better suggestions?
[01:02] <Berengal> mgolisch: The website says it supports gcc 4
[01:02] <jrib> !grub > joecurlee (read the private message from ubottu)
[01:02] <phillip> Thanks :]
[01:02] <mgolisch> Berengal: maybe they updated it
[01:02] <jrib> phillip: kino, pitivi
[01:02] <phillip> I am looking into them but I would love more!

[01:03] <gaintsura> ^^ easiest
[01:03] <biouser> not sure what to put in fstab
[01:03] <phillip> Is there something that is the equivalent of Windows Movie Maker.

[01:04] <NumlF> I'll ask again later x__x
[01:04] <Starnestommy> linkmaster03: chmod +x ./filename, then ./finename
[01:04] <joecurlee> USN1520: I don't really want to reinstall ubuntu... I would rather keep the install i had before
[01:04] <Berengal> mgolisch: /var/log/creative-installer.log is full of errors
[01:04] <Starnestommy> linkmaster03: the chmod is only needed once
[01:04] <linkmaster03> thanks Starnestommy

[01:05] <USN1520> joecurlee, question is how do you fix the mbr without reinstalling
[01:05] <Stall> Okay...
[01:06] <Stall> So, I installed Hydrogen (a drum machine) just a couple of minutes ago.

[01:06] <Stall> I was fooling around with it
[01:06] <Starnestommy> pavlizz: what kind of RAID problems?
[01:06] <joecurlee> USN1520: looks like this might be the answer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:06] <RyanPrior> biouser: search Google, I've seen some decent documentation.
[01:06] <Stall> When I noticed that it started to get really quite

[01:07] <D-Unit> Starnestommy, so ending that process wouldnt be a good idea then, right? lol
[01:07] <RyanPrior> Stall: You'll pick it up quickly enough.
[01:07] <Starnestommy> D-Unit: probably not
[01:07] <VerY> yes
[01:08] <Dex-Freudii> E17 freezes as soon as I try to run an application right after a suspend/hibernate resume... while gnome will work perfectly... any ideas?

[01:08] <Stall> So... after messing around in Hydrogen, I noticed my sound got quieter and quieter, until it no longer made any sound at all. I then tested other programs and saw that my entire system no longer has sound. No start up sound upon restart, nor any sound on any programs. I think I messed up one of my sound drivers... how do I restart it?
[01:08] <RyanPrior> nassty: Get a new non-Broadcom card. Those things are terrible.

[01:09] <RyanPrior> Stall: It would help us know whether it is a software problem, or a hardware one.

[01:10] <emma> When Myrtti takes ops someone must really be doing something bad.

[01:15] <mgolisch> Berengal: maybe that helps
[01:16] <chrisjs169> are there any usb sniffing programs for ubuntu?
[01:16] <gaintsura> good stuff ^_^
[01:16] <gaintsura> afk
[01:16] <phillip> Masashi: Hmm, is it installed or liveCD?
[01:16] <phillip> Also, which version?
[01:16] <Dex-Freudii> langleyo: 'Fn'+F5???
[01:16] <Masashi> phillip: Installed and version 8.04
[01:16] <Winkie_> is there some way i've missed to get forward and back buttons on a mouse working correctly in firefox and nautilus?
[01:16] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, is Airlink USB in that, someone else here mentioned but not which chipset, i will buy right now if i know for sure, i have CC out and a bookmarked site to buy one
[01:16] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: according to ubuntu forums, Trendnet TEW229UB works out of the box.
[01:16] <wirechief_> Masashi: it could be you need to use a boot cheat like noapic  just ediit your grub and try it,
[01:16] <Winkie_> because as far as i can see they use different keys for this, and i don't know how to remap them
[01:16] <langleyo> dex: yeah it was somethig like that..
[01:16] <phillip> Does it eventually go to GNOME?
[01:17] <throe> i really need some answers, why doesnt roaming mode work at all in Hardy
[01:17] <langleyo> dex: sorry i'm vague.....i did a demo 2 weeks ago
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: did you check the hardware page.. it has lists of wireless devices and what level they function at.
[01:17] <Masashi> phillip: No, it just stays in the BusyBox
[01:17] <Dex-Freudii> langleyo: I think it does not need ant special setting up
[01:17] <phillip> One sec, I will do some research.
[01:17] <decay> how can i download install firefox2
[01:17] <Masashi> phillip: Ok, thanks!

[01:18] <decay> wirechief_intel: i did but i tseems to start firefox 3
[01:18] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101
[01:18] <langleyo> dex: ok...though last time it screwed up during bootup cos of somethign i altered to do with screenn resolution
[01:18] <wirechief_intel> decay you have to uninstall firefox 3
[01:19] <cylux> Hey guys, for some reason I cannot change the screen resolution to anything greater than 1024x768. Even if I change it manually in the xorg.conf, there is no effect. How do I remedy this?
[01:19] <wirechief_intel> decay apt-get remove --purge firefox-3
[01:19] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, and i have checked here http://linux-wless.passys.nl/

[01:20] <emma> toresn - Maybe pulseaudio.
[01:20] <Masashi> Ok
[01:20] <throe> langleyo: so you can choose networks when you just click on nm-applet?

[01:22] <emma> toresn, I don't know. Just maybe a place to look. I have no insight into this one.
[01:22] <throe> But i remember on gutsy you could choose Enable wireless
[01:22] <throe> cant do that anymore
[01:22] <langleyo> throe: if u mean icon on bar on screen, yes
[01:22] <mylogic> Is anyone here using launchpad.net in their current repo? if so, how in the world can I get it to work for me...
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: what is your device?
[01:22] <RobbieRob> I am getting an error when I am trying to complie that says... Linux kernel headers not found at /usr/src/linux. Any ideas?
[01:22] <throe> so how would i go about changing the config:P
[01:22] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, the chipset is rtl8185

[01:35] <beoba> hi, the "network settings" wizard no longer works with connecting to my WPA network via an iwl4965 card
[01:35] <beoba> what can i do to restart it?
[01:35] <throe> but roaming mode has worked on this card in guts
[01:35] <beoba> iwconfig shows the desired router, but i am "not associated" with it
[01:35] <ihcus> Kikkoman:hi
[01:35] <ihcus> how do i restart
[01:35] <ihcus> is it a command
[01:35] <langleyo> throe: i had a similar problem...
[01:35] <throe> w8 ill check ardware info
[01:36] <zvacet> Blaenk : but the mwssage say you need to install it and you aressaying that iti s allready there
[01:36] <langleyo> throe: all i did was play around with my settings in there manually till something worked
[01:36] <Starnestommy> ihcus: if the applet won't work, use sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -r now
[01:36] <ihcus> Kikkoman:it is saying bad command or filename
[01:36] <throe> ok ill try
[01:36] <throe> brb
[01:36] <Blaenk> zvacet: exactly why I'm asking for help in the first place, besides if it were working fine and I didn't have xchat, it would automatically install it since it's a dependancy
[01:36] <langleyo> throe: just take note of what you alter
[01:36] <nassty> somebody using the b43 driver working ?
[01:37] <langleyo> and try not to alter too much at once
[01:37] <cylux> I want to use ~/.xinitrc to take advantage of startx instead of using GDM, how do I do that?
[01:37] <ihcus> but why it is not there in the applet
[01:37] <dmsuperman> In firefox, a lot of the fonts look really pixelated. I have  full type hinting enabled, and msttcorefonts is installed, but it's still really pixelated. Showing the page in Konquerer side by side shows a major difference
[01:37] <ihcus> anyway a gud alternative
[01:37] <Starnestommy> ihcus: it could be a bug in the applet
[01:37] <zvacet> Blaenk : sudo apt-get install --reinstall xchat or ttry to fix broken packages in synaptic
[01:37] <Blaenk> will do
[01:37] <Pie-rate> I have g15daemon installed via the ubuntu 8.04 repositories but the extra keys don't work. nothing's happening when i press them in xev. i tried restarting the daemon and made sure uinput was loaded, no dice. any suggestions?

[01:39] <ihcus> but how do i ?
[01:39] <throe> i have two options
[01:39] <RyanPrior> beoba: Perhaps it is incorrectly installed? Try reinstalling the package.

[01:39] <throe> enable networking (set) and enable wireless (unable to set)
[01:39] <throe> yes
[01:39] <beoba> RyanPrior: it worked fine, but something burped a couple hours ago and now it does nothing

[01:43] <throe> i was wondering if it could be done by terminal
[01:43] <throe> since the gui's often fail
[01:43] <langleyo> throe: its more a case of can you enter all youre details that you know will work to get it on your network
[01:43] <Pants> hi folks
[01:43] <throe> sure i can
[01:43] <obnibolongo> selocol, gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic will be close enough
[01:43] <throe> im talking to you aint i
[01:43] <langleyo> lol yeah
[01:43] <obnibolongo> selocol, actually, gksudo /usr/sbin/synaptic will be close enough
[01:43] <kitagua> Hi everybody. Can someone help me with my hardy ubuntu-server running a xen3.2 server? Networking does not work...
[01:43] <dmsuperman> Does firefox use the GTK interface in linux?
[01:44] <selocol> obnibolongo: i'm wondering about the Add/Remove interface, not synaptic
[01:44] <selocol> trying to do some browsing
[01:44] <obnibolongo> selocol, that's why i said close enough, but ok, then can't help ya
[01:44] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, I just ordered the AWLH4130 with atheros chipset, thanks for the help, and you too RyanPrior
[01:44] <langleyo> throe: so...you enter all relevant info into wireless and its still not doing anything? try coming out ofit and refreshing it by clicking on another wireless network if you can see one
[01:45] <dmsuperman> Whenever I select "BitStream Vera Sans" as my application font in ubuntu/gnome it changes for some reason to Arial Bold. Why is this?
[01:45] <selocol> obnibolongo: alright thanks
[01:45] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: good luck.
[01:45] <obnibolongo> selocol, my mistake, i can help
[01:45] <obnibolongo> selocol, /usr/bin/gnome-app-install ?
[01:45] <throe> no, it does work perfectly fine
[01:45] <throe> i just cant enable roaming mode instead of manual
[01:45] <RyanPrior> dmsuperman: Firefox does use a GTK interface.
[01:45] <throe> well i can enable it, but it doesnt work
[01:45] <selocol> obnibolongo: that's it, thanks!
[01:45] <kklimonda> dmsuperman: i think that firefox3 is just themed to look like "native" gtk+ application as it uses XUL to create interface.
[01:45] <obnibolongo> selocol, :)
[01:45] <Pants> 1
[01:46] <throe> if i enable roaming mode, all the fields are greyed out so i cant type in anything
[01:46] <s0|> I have created a VPN connection via the gui for OpenVPN, I am trying to figure out how to use said configured connection options in the command line, help
[01:46] <RyanPrior> kklimonda: It isn't just an XUL theme - try changing your GTK theme and watch Firefox change as well.
[01:46] <langleyo> i think mebbe you may only have access to that when you come into range of a new net then
[01:46] <mattgyver83> I want to open rom files store on another computer on my network but my emulator does not support this, is there a way to create a link to this folder and its files in ubuntu so this is possible?
[01:46] <RyanPrior> kklimonda: Think of it as a GTK front-end to XUL.
[01:46] <langleyo> when u select a network, itll ask you relevant setup info
[01:46] <Ashfire> Can Mac 10 apps run nativly on linux?
[01:47] <RyanPrior> Ashfire: no.
[01:47] <crdlb> firefox still does not use GTK, but it does a much better job faking it now
[01:47] <mgolisch> mattgyver83: whats that computer running?
[01:47] <throe> doesnt make sense, since i  was prefectly able to do it on gutsy
[01:47] <mattgyver83> ubuntu 8.04
[01:47] <datakid> hey what's the easiest way to find where my usb is plugged in (but unmounted)...ie, I want to know where in /dev/ it is?
[01:47] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior, thanks, if i can get the cat5 out of in-law's house, then there's only one thing left that i have anu use for windows, and thats SplinterCell, chaos theory and double agent!
[01:47] <Ashfire> RyanPrior, what about emulation? if there is any, is it better than windows emulation?
[01:47] <datakid> is it /dev/sdb1
[01:47] <langleyo> throe: sorry cant help more....it works on mine fine now
[01:48] <mgolisch> mattgyver83: maybe try sshfs
[01:48] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: those don't work under Wine?
[01:48] <dmsuperman> Whenever I select "BitStream Vera Sans" as my application font in ubuntu/gnome it changes for some reason to Arial Bold. Why is this?
[01:48] <mattgyver83> Okay, i will look into that, thanks for the tip.
[01:48] <mgolisch> mattgyver83: you could also use samba
[01:48] <mgolisch> to share the directory
[01:48] <mgolisch> or nfs
[01:48] <mgolisch> :)
[01:48] <throe> ok, thanks for your time and interest
[01:49] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior, nope, i pay for both Crossover and Cedega (and am very happy to do so) but cant get splinterCell to work on either
[01:49] <sgtmattbaker> I have a question.  If I have been using VLC player and Avidemux to edit and transcode non-copyrighted videos (MPG, MP4 and associated codecs; not encrypted DVD movie MPG) could I get in trouble?  I live in the US.  I am serious, I am fairly worried.
[01:49] <langleyo> persevere with it...i feel sure the solution is close at hand though
[01:49] <RyanPrior> Ashfire: There is no good OSX emulator, as far as I know.
[01:49] <RyanPrior> Ashfire: Usually, people outside the Apple world aren't interested in running Apple apps. We have pretty good replacements for most of them in Linux.
[01:50] <Pants> hi everyone, i have a quick question if someone can help
[01:50] <Pants> i get the following when i do an sudo apt-get install -f
[01:50] <Pants> Errors were encountered while processing: moblock-ipq
[01:50] <Pants> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[01:50] <kklimonda> Ashfire: if you are still on PPC there is a way of running whole OSX inside Linux without big penatly. But if you are on Intel then not much can be done except violating the license and launching it in Virtual Machine.
[01:50] <Pants> what does this mean?
[01:51] <kklimonda> Pants: there is nothing more?
[01:51] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior, and hey, as long as my City of Heroes works , I really dont need windows even for SplinterCell, i can play that on XBox
[01:51] <datakid> Pants looks like it's an error
[01:51] <datakid> have you tried using synaptic instead?
[01:51] <Pants> there's nothing more, no
[01:51] <mattgyver83> Pants, what is -f?
[01:51] <dmsuperman> Whenever I select a BitStream font in my appearence window, it changes to Arial instead. Why is that?
[01:51] <D3RGPS31> GRUB question - is there a way to remove grub's text and white boarder, but keep the OS choices and splashscreen?
[01:51] <mattgyver83> oh n/m
[01:51] <Pants> mattgyver83: err, I'm not sure, actually :P  someone just told me to do that
[01:51] <Pants> I'm trying to remove moblock
[01:52] <mattgyver83> Pants, i think it forces an install even with errors
[01:52] <mgolisch> it forces to resolve conflicts
[01:52] <Pants> and I can't seem to do it
[01:52] <Pants> ah, okay
[01:52] <dbenc> does anyone know how to mount LVM partitions? :(
[01:52] <RyanPrior> !grub | D3RGPS31
[01:52] <mattgyver83> Pants, what are you actually trying to install?
[01:52] <mgolisch> it will mostlikely just remove all packages that are conflicting in anyways
[01:52] <D3RGPS31> Ryan: that doesn't answer my question
[01:52] <Pants> mattgyver83: I'm trying to remove moblock

[01:52] <datakid> how do I find the /dev port that a usb stick is plugged into?
[01:53] <Pants> I do a sudo apt-get remove moblock

[01:53] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior, do you know where i can find a reference to what all the "switches" are,,, like options on a command,,, like  the  "-r" and "-R" -f etc and so on?
[01:53] <RyanPrior> datakid: I haven't been able to find that out myself. Howver, lsusb can be useful.

[01:53] <Lunar_Lamp> SeaPhor: "man" is what you want.
[01:53] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: usually you can run the command with the --help command to get it to print out a basic list, or you can use man to read a more in-depth description.
[01:53] <corless> Is there a way to reset my gutsy gibbon installation? My laptop crashed during the upgrade to hardy heron and can now only be booted in recovery mode.
[01:53] <Paddy_EIRE> mattgyver83, "rm --help"
[01:54] <mattgyver83> Just search in synaptic for 'moblock' and then uncheck the package, click and apply and it will remove it.
[01:54] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior, Thanks, and u2 Lunar_Lamp
[01:54] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, I don't have OSX installed at all but when it was it lasted for an 3-4 hours!

[01:55] <Roey> hi
[01:55] <Roey> anyone here having trouble with wacom tablets??
[01:55] <evilbug> how can i set Exaile as my default media player?
[01:55] <codecaine> whats a good program to record your desktop for presentation?
[01:55] <cyber_brain_mfkg> is it posible that i must recompile kernel to get longer life for my battery?
[01:56] <AndrewB> cyber_brain_mfkg: maybe http://www.berthon.eu/ice_and_fire/?p=84 will help
[01:56] <AndrewB> oh cyber_brain_mfkg wrong link
[01:56] <D3RGPS31> anyone good with GRUB >.>
[01:56] <kitagua_> I need a ubuntu-server xen expert. Anyone available?
[01:56] <kklimonda> cyber_brain_mfkg: no but it is posible that linux is just draining battery faster than windows. that's what my experience says.
[01:56] <RyanPrior> D3RGPS31: ask in #grub perhaps?
[01:57] <D3RGPS31> RyanPrior: i have, no responce for 4 hours
[01:57] <mgolisch> kklimonda: yeah thats very likely
[01:57] <RyanPrior> kitagua_: What sort of expertise do you need?
[01:57] <lowlux> how o i start up AppArmor?
[01:57] <cyber_brain_mfkg> kklimonda, yes but it was ok with last linux installation wich i had to delete for some reasons!!!
[01:57] <RyanPrior> lowlux: sudo invoke-rc.d apparmor start
[01:57] <mgolisch> for example the grafics drivers support powersave modes on windows, ati and nvidia atleast
[01:57] <AndrewB> lowlux: open a terminal then type apparmor
[01:57] <mgolisch> the linux ones doi not afaik
[01:58] <dbenc> hi, I'm trying to mount an LVM partition but I haven't had any luck .. I've tried a bunch of guides but none have worked :S
[01:58] <kitagua_> xen3.2 networking is not working. I already read about this being a bug but im not so familiar to be able to fix it using the supplied patch, another kernel or whatever
[01:58] <paito> hi, i need to install an epson cx5600 scanner, can somebody help me?
[01:58] <AndrewB> dbenc: tried this one? http://www.linux-sxs.org/storage/fedora2ubuntu.html
[01:58] <lowlux> now how do i get the profile part going?
[01:59] <kitagua_> networking in domus does not work.
[01:59] <wirechief_> paito use the webrowser and localhost 631
[01:59] <RyanPrior> kitagua_: It might be worth looking into support from Canonical on that. They tend to focus on supporting servers and so on. No problem with continuing to ask in here, but you may not find a lot of expertise.
[01:59] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, any luck finding it??? :S
[01:59] <wirechief_> paito use the webrowser and localhost:631
[01:59] <cylux> Hey guys, my resolution in my xorg.conf is set to 1280x1024, I start fluxbox via startx (~/.xinitrc) but for some reason the resolution remains at 1024x768, why is that?
[01:59] <paito> wirechief_: i beg your pardon?
[01:59] <kitagua_> yeah but its worth a try :-)
[01:59] <AndrewB> cyber_brain_mfkg: nope sorry still googling about, maybe better asking ong the ubuntu forum
[02:00] <Darth_Gimp> RyanPrior: thanks for the help the other day. I am still having an issue though with playing AVI files and Movie Player for example... the screen saver is killing me. How do I get this working as it did in 7.10?
[02:00] <paito> wirechief_: wow
[02:00] <dbenc> AndrewB, vgscan says No volume groups found
[02:00] <dmsuperman> Can anybody help me figure out my font issues? For one, whenever I select a BitStream font (or several others) it instead chooses Arial (in any font selector). Also, all of the text in firefox period looks terrible.
[02:00] <RyanPrior> Darth_Gimp: Did you determine that it wasn't a graphics card problem?
[02:00] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, i've just posted! ;) hope someone will answered it
[02:00] <wirechief_> paito use the webrowser http://localhost:631/
[02:01] <berengal> Okay, so this is bad: I tried compiling the X-Fi drivers using some help from the forums. After fixing two error, it actually started compiling. However, after 30 seconds, my entire computer froze, and I was forced to reboot. Now my kernel segfaults on boot
[02:01] <RyanPrior> Darth_Gimp: My graphics card got borked a few months ago and I couldn't watch any videos.
[02:01] <paito> wirechief_: ok, but i dont find any scanner option.
[02:01] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, Are using Mac?
[02:01] <AndrewB> cyber_brain_mfkg: yes
[02:01] <Darth_Gimp> RyanPrior: I have on board graphics.. yet it was working smoothly in 7.10
[02:01] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, where can i find osx for download?
[02:01] <AndrewB> dbenc: Did you write over it by accident at some point or anything? Otherwise i dunno
[02:01] <RyanPrior> cyber_brain_mfkg: You can buy OSX from apple.com I think.
[02:01] <AndrewB> cyber_brain_mfkg: you pop over to apple.com and buy it.
[02:02] <wirechief_> paito well you should go to your vendors webssite check support and see if they support linux with scanner also try googleing
[02:02] <dbenc> well i was running it off of a RAID1 partition
[02:02] <berengal> So, anyone here who can help my ailing kernel?
[02:02] <RyanPrior> cyber_brain_mfkg: We do not support Apple software here, though.
[02:02] <paito> wirechief_: i tried google, but the driver package is in rpm and i need it in .deb
[02:02] <dbenc> but shouldnt the partition table be the same on both drives?
[02:02] <modoc> is there a converse to basename that will return the extension of a file?
[02:02] <ApOgEE-> does anyone know where to get sopcast webplayer for ubuntu?
[02:03] <Darth_Gimp> RyanPrior: I get this "The playback of this movie requires a video/x-avi-unknown decoder plugin which is not installed." but I am not sure which driver...
[02:03] <matt____> does anyone know about bluetooth adapters and linux? I'm looking for advice to buy a bluetooth usb adapter that works on linux. I'm planning on using it with my phone, and also my bluetooth headset. Suggestions for an adapter please
[02:03] <decay> !codec
[02:03] <paito> wirechief_: i tried to converti it with alien, but it looks like it doesn't work in 64bits
[02:03] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, it is easy to say when u live in US!in my country e banking is not so well suported :(...and also i wont waste my money for OSs! :D
[02:03] <wirechief_> paito hmm well you might be able to use alien and convert to .deb dunno, if so use the -s option with alien
[02:03] <AndrewB> paito: could try http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Convert-rpm2deb-11999.shtml
[02:03] <FSA> help with the instalation of ubuntu

[02:04] <Doobe08> !upgrade
[02:04] <wirechief_> paito that is probably so. 64bit operating systems dont have much support for stuff
[02:04] <dmsuperman> Can anybody help me figure out my font issues? For one, whenever I select a BitStream font (or several others) it instead chooses Arial (in any font selector). Also, all of the text in firefox period looks terrible.
[02:04] <paito> AndrewB: ok, i will look into it
[02:04] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, whatever...i live in...how you sayin...3th world country :)

[02:04] <matt____> does anyone know about bluetooth adapters and linux? I'm looking for advice to buy a bluetooth usb adapter that works on linux. I'm planning on using it with my phone, and also my bluetooth headset. Suggestions for an adapter please
[02:04] <RyanPrior> Darth_Gimp: If you're in a jurisdiction where use of the AVI codecs is legal, you can probably intall ubuntu-restricted-extras and get playback working.
[02:04] <paito> wirechief_: yeah right, let me return my 64bits laptop xD
[02:05] <^Tech-Help^> billenium im happy with Unrealircd
[02:05] <wirechief_> paito no, you miss understand, use the 32bit version of ubuntu
[02:05] <Starnestommy> billenium: hybrid, unreal, or inspircd

[02:06] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, can you tell me which power menagement software are you useing?

[02:07] <cyber_brain_mfkg> AndrewB, thank you anyway!sorry for bother!peace man!
[02:07] <amenado> is mkinitrd replaced with another command? what would be the replacement?
[02:07] <marsj2009> 有高手知道ubuntu下怎么使用QQ阿？
[02:07] <matt____> RyanPrior: you konw, i'm waiting for the day that microsoft, or someone of the like, starts to stir up trouble for people that download the codecs "illegally", thus trying to hurt linux. Talk about really hurting the cause.
[02:07] <wirechief_> paito basically compatibilty, but if you are doing a server they say its a good thing but i have used 32bit for both, i just had too many bugs with 64bit
[02:07] <Starnestommy> amenado: it might be mkinitramfs
[02:07] <AndrewB> matt____: there has been many instances over the years
[02:08] <HyTeX> cinei roman pls prv me
[02:08] <kindofabuzz> i need a good .chm to .pdf solution
[02:08] <matt____> AndrewB: really? How were the cases started?
[02:08] <wirechief_> paito  and printer drivers is one of the issues
[02:08] <paito> wirechief_: ok... iĺl keep looking
[02:08] <RyanPrior> matt___: All they can do is prosecute individuals. Ubuntu does not provide those packages by default - only to those who decide to install them.
[02:08] <amenado> Starnestommy-> i tried that, but it didnt seem to work, i cant create the initrd.gz file, says something about a udev missing .
[02:08] <matt____> AndrewB: hmm...I was talking mainly about lawsuits.
[02:08] <eclectic> Since upgrading to Hardy my system freezes up solid when I try to copy contents of a dvd to hd.  Full description at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4929720#post4929720  .   Any suggestions?
[02:08] <kindofabuzz> using xchm but it can only print to pdf one page at a time
[02:09] <billenium> I tried hybrid, but it would never restart properly, thus not allowing me to edit the .conf well... Also, is there any guide to help me install unrealircd on ubuntu?
[02:09] <matt____> RyanPrior: oh, exactly what i meant. People know that if they can't legally install the codecs in linux, thus being a big turnaway factor IF people start getting prosected on a large scale.
[02:09] <AndrewB> matt____: yeah there was a big law case about it like 2 years ago, i can't remember the details, just that like every FOSS site out there had 'Support us!'
[02:10] <wirechief_> eclectic: i use dd to copy my .iso to the hard drive you can probably do it with it
[02:10] <RyanPrior> matt___: I think that if people start getting prosecuted on a large scale, we may see a profitable business  in licensing codecs, and/or more adoption of free formats.
[02:10] <matt____> AndrewB: what do you mean by "support us"?
[02:10] <AndrewB> support the codec creators and stuffs  i honestly have forgoten about it all though
[02:10] <berengal> My kernel segfaults on boot. How do I fix it? Help!
[02:10] <RyanPrior> matt____: the big companies are wise not to sue people on a large scale, as it keeps people locked into their non-free formats and hurts adoption of free ones.
[02:10] <mgolisch> licensing?
[02:11] <mgolisch> why that
[02:11] <kindofabuzz> !ot
[02:11] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, do you know if i can make a #server-name and keep it permanent?
[02:11] <mgolisch> unless its something driven by win32codecs there not much to fear
[02:12] <mgolisch> software patents are not valid in most countrys other than US
[02:12] <dmsuperman> Can anybody tell me why it is that no matter what I try to use, it automatically overrides my decision with a font from the microsoft font package? I can only get Arial, Arial Bold, Courier New, or similar fonts. Everything else I choose just changes to those fonts
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: no, i'mnot sure on that, sorry
[02:12] <matt____> RyanPrior: right...i heard something like microsoft not doing much about PEOPLE that steal their OS's, simply because of bad publicity. Microsoft sues the family of 4 because 12yo Johny downed XP from the bt site hurts pr a lot a guess.
[02:12] <wirechief_> eclectic: you may have to change the coding a bit for the names but it would be interesting to see if it worked
[02:12] <wirechief_>  umount /mnt/cdrom
[02:12] <wirechief_> Create CD-ROM ISO image with dd command:
[02:12] <wirechief_> # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso do this for cdrom images
[02:12] <FloodBot2> wirechief_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:12] <matt____> RyanPrior: same thing, sorta.
[02:12] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, thanks for the reply neway! :-))
[02:13] <RyanPrior> matt____: Also, if Microsoft did anything to hurt Windows adoption, it would be helping Linux. They want to keep people locked in.
[02:13] <billenium> ^Tech-Help^ : Is there any installation guide for unrealircd?

[02:13] <matt____> RyanPrior: yep, but gotta go. but right on :)
[02:13] <RyanPrior> matt____: Microsoft doesn't even go after major software pirates in third-world countries, because they want people to get hooked.
[02:13] <eclectic> wirechief: I'll try that as a work-around.  But still I wonder if this is a bug that can be diagnosed and fixed
[02:13] <Starnestommy> billenium: there's one in the readme or install files in the tarball that it comes in
[02:14] <dopefish7590> Out of curiostiy, is there anything that a standard Ubuntu terminal can do that the Mac OSX terminal cannot?
[02:14] <billenium> I can only find the download for the windows unrealircd... Can you link me to the linux one?
[02:14] <Starnestommy> billenium: it's the source version
[02:14] <billenium> ah
[02:14] <wirechief_> eclectic: not many do what you are trying, i doubt it but could be wrong.

[02:23] <berengal> wirechief_: Can't I just replace the kernel? I've got the source
[02:23] <wirechief_> berengal although the trick might work
[02:23] <TaRDy> thank you binarymutant and rodolf0
[02:24] <wirechief_> berengal well then maybe you could just recompile it but thats over my head at the moment, i use a precompiled kernel from another distro and it probably would not work here.
[02:24] <wsjunior> Hi guys, I´d like gnome to always open new windows in the middle of the screen, is it possible?
[02:24] <berengal> wirechief_: Assuming I've got two kernels, how do I select which one to boot?
[02:24] <jrib> wsjunior: maybe with devilspie
[02:24] <wabash> Hi, all. I'm running into a problem mounting a drive writeable. I mount it as root, but I want other users to be able to write to it. Any suggestions? How do I do this?
[02:24] <jrib> !devilspie > wsjunior (read the private message from ubottu)
[02:25] <jrib> wabash: what filesystem?
[02:25] <wirechief_> berengal it might be something i would try once im all done with testing
[02:25] <wsjunior> Let's see
[02:25] <wabash> jrib: Ext3
[02:25] <jrib> !permissions > wabash (read the private message from ubottu)
[02:25] <wirechief_> berengal: it will show up in the grub
[02:25] <jrib> wabash: use chmod/chown as usual
[02:25] <berengal> wirechief_: It won't add itself automagically, will it?
[02:26] <wabash> jrib: Thank you. I'll read through this. I'll ask you if I still can't get it.
[02:26] <jrib> wabash: sure
[02:26] <wirechief_> berengal: when i replace my kerenl in kanotix i do a wget -N nameofthekernel  and do a install script that comes with it, it is a ubuntu kernel
[02:26] <SeaPhor> how do I make link or add to applications menu a program that i can start in terminal?
[02:26] <Dr_willis> wabash,  ext3 has its own permissions for each file/dir. If youw ant to allow a single user full access to files/dirs in the filesystem you will hve to mess with chown, and chmod to give the files/dirs the proper permissions
[02:26] <berengal> wirechief_: Well, I have no install script, just make
[02:27] <RyanPrior> SeaPhor: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu
[02:27] <wabash> jrib: Thank you. I understand permissions well, actually. It's the mounting that I'm getting tripped up on.
[02:27] <wabash> Dr_willis: Thank you too.
[02:27] <wabash> Same thing though...
[02:27] <wabash> Is it just a matter of changing permissions/group of the mount point?
[02:27] <wirechief_> berengal: you have me curious if i could install one of those on kubuntu
[02:27] <jrib> wabash: mounting and setting permissions are independent
[02:27] <jrib> wabash: yes
[02:27] <Dr_willis> wabash,  for a externalusb drive. I normally make a SingleDir for my user (i call it UserStorage) and chown That dir to be owned by the user. I do NOT change the permissions of the mountpoint.
[02:28] <wirechief_> berengal: i havent done that . but have used other scripts from that distro to install ATI drivers
[02:28] <jrib> wabash: change the permissions after you mount is what I mean
[02:28] <wabash> jrib: Ok,, so then, would I do this: 1) mount the partition, 2) change group/permissions?    Or would I 1) change permissions on the mount point, 2) mount the partition ?
[02:28] <wabash> jrib: Sorry, type at the same time!
[02:28] <mgolisch> hm one last question
[02:28] <wirechief_> berengal: and the ATI drivers are compiled in kubuntu
[02:28] <berengal> Okay, so it's linking now. Where are the bootable kernel's stored?
[02:29] <Dr_willis> wabash,  changing permissions of the mount point befor you mount will have no affect. its permissions are ignored  when somthingis mounted over it.
[02:29] <mgolisch> does hardy ship with something to play h264 encoded videos in matroska video containers?
[02:29] <wirechief_> i think in /src
[02:29] <wabash> Dr_willis: Thank you for your input. That arrangement may not work for me though, the drive has to be accessible by all users.
[02:29] <mgolisch> bioth totem and mplayer seem to be unable to play that
[02:29] <andresj> hello. I have lots of packages from my gutsy intallation, and I dont wanna download them again. is there a way to tell APT to also look for packages there? (along with /var/cache/apt/archive/)
[02:29] <wabash> jrib: Dr_willis: I'll give this a try.
[02:29] <Dr_willis> wabash,  thats  what 'groups' are for. or you could use the nasty chmod 777 on the files/dirs.
[02:29] <Guillaume3> i need some good image editing software
[02:29] <wirechief_> berengal: i think in /src
[02:29] <wsjunior> jrib: kinda complicated for a simple task, but thank you anyways.
[02:29] <jrib> Guillaume3: gimp
[02:29] <Guillaume3> something to the likes of the adobe suite
[02:29] <wabash> Dr_willis: Maybe then I misunderstood you.
[02:30] <Ecclesiastes> I have bad news about the Gutsy alternate install .iso. The lib6-i686 package is screwed up and the base install fails.
[02:30] <Guillaume3> that can maybe spit me out sliced up images in html
[02:30] <wabash> Dr_willis: What is a typical group for this kind of stuff?
[02:30] <jrib> wsjunior: it's not really complicated, just take a few minutes to learn the syntax
[02:30] <wirechief_> berengal: but i dont think i have answer for what you are wanting, it just spurred some what ifs in my head.
[02:30] <berengal> wirechief_: You mean /usr/src?
[02:30] <Dr_willis> wabash,  i rarely mess with groups. I would imagine you could make a usersgroup or somthing.
[02:30] <wirechief_> berengal: yes i think thats it
[02:30] <wabash> Dr_willis: Cool, thanks. So you don't know about plugdev group?
[02:31] <wsjunior> jrib: complicated comparing with kde that do it with a simple click, but i'm already reading some tutorials to learn the syntax. thanks.
[02:31] <Dr_willis> wabash,  thats a special group for the hardware devices automounting subsystem I belive
[02:31] <berengal> wirechief_: I've got nothing but the kernel headers there
[02:31] <wabash> jrib: Awesome. Thank you very much for your help.
[02:31] <wabash> Dr_willis: Thank you too.
[02:31] <Ecclesiastes> Except for that, it appears to be be able to do a rollback from Hardy to Gutsy.
[02:32] <wabash> jrib: now, my mounted drive has permissions 770, and the group is set to a group that users are part of. Is this what you were thinking?
[02:32] <Ashfire908> What is the point of roaming mode? (In network-manager)
[02:32] <SeaPhor> RyanPrior, ok, wasn't quite that simple but that put me in the right direction, i figured out what command to tell it to do, THANKS! Again! :-))
[02:32] <wirechief_> berengal can you read scripts ?
[02:32] <wabash> jrib: Also, any suggestions on which group to use?
[02:32] <berengal> wirechief_: Yeah, sort of
[02:32] <jrib> wabash: anything you want, I don't know of a typical one for you to use
[02:33] <wirechief_> berengal i could paste one and you could see if you could use it in some fashion to do what your trying to do.
[02:33] <fde> Ashfire908: Easily switching WAPs
[02:33] <wabash> jrib: Ok, thank you. You have solved all of my problems, and I appreciate your help. Dr_willis, thank you too.
[02:33] <berengal> wirechief_: THin
[02:33] <Dr_willis> Groups to the rescue! :)
[02:33] <berengal> oops
[02:33] <jsoftw> SeaPhor: yeah I just want a way for a sub-admin to be able to create a few accounts.
[02:33] <eeboy> How can I examine the return value from a command in a script? I run a rsync command in my script and want to take a different action if the command was anything but successful.
[02:34] <Ashfire908> fde, but for wired networks?
[02:34] <berengal> wirechief_: Thing is, I'm running in recovery mode. No internet (on my lappy right now)
[02:34] <jrib> eeboy: might want to try #bash
[02:34] <Dr_willis> wabash,  i just found this tutorial on the topic  http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialManagingGroups.html
[02:34] <fde> Ashfire908: I don't think it'll do much with wired...
[02:34] <berengal> wirechief_: unless it's a really short script, it would be tiresom to rewrite
[02:34] <fde> Ashfire908: Same would apply if it does though... maybe you have static IPs set up in different places, just click that network for access...
[02:35] <wirechief_intel> berengal: true but you might get some insight on how its done.
[02:35] <AfterDea1h> hm, my touchpad is having some weird issues
[02:35] <AfterDea1h> it seems to see every click as being a double-click
[02:35] <wirechief_intel> berengal: only problem i have to go looking for it maybe a few minutes
[02:35] <wabash> Dr_willis: Thank you. I may create my own group for this, like "storage"
[02:35] <wirechief_intel> its in another partition ;)
[02:36] <berengal> Okay, I'll try poking around in the meantime
[02:37] <thingy> eeboy: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-10.html <-- see te Getting return value of a program bit
[02:37] <SeaPhor> jsoftw, ok, sorry, i am learning all i can so i will know the answer shortly but as for now I am still a n00b with Linux, sounds like you want a remote desktop/terminal services with user/group restrictions tho, right?
[02:38] <Ninjavidual> Need help live cd screwed up dads pc
[02:38] <mgolisch> Ninjavidual: what happened?
[02:38] <mgolisch> the livecd doesnt do anything usualy
[02:39] <eclectic> wirechief_: tried the dd command and system locked up same as with any other method-- 237mb out of 3g and now nothing works
[02:39] <Ninjavidual> in live cd licked shutdown, but a black screen came up with infinite loop of some sort of error. after several minutes i just presed to restart button on my computer
[02:39] <wirechief_> !pastebin
[02:39] <Pie-rate> I have g15daemon installed via the ubuntu 8.04 repositories but the extra keys don't work. nothing's happening when i press them in xev. i tried restarting the daemon and made sure uinput was loaded, no dice. any suggestions?
[02:39] <mgolisch> Ninjavidual: and now? what doesnt work?
[02:40] <rexy_> are there any recent experimental packages for the ati driver? still experiencing random X freezes(no system crash) with a radeon M6 (aka 7000 aka rv100)
[02:40] <Ninjavidual> now the pc wont show anything except black on the screen when i boot up
[02:40] <Pie-rate> by extra keys i mean g1, g2, g3, etc
[02:40] <cached> okay. this is somewhat urgent. how do i allow ftp access onto my ubuntu box? (apache is set up if you need it)
[02:40] <wirechief_> berengal here goes, lots of stuff going on when you replace a kernelhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/11590/
[02:41] <wirechief_> berengal here goes, lots of stuff going on when you replace a kernel http://paste.ubuntu.com/11590/
[02:41] <rexy_> cached, install an ftp daemon?
[02:41] <fde> cached: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[02:41] <mgolisch> Ninjavidual: sounds funny
[02:41] <rexy_> cached, if you're connected directly to the internet best not to leave it running permanently though unless you know what you are doing
[02:41] <berengal> wirechief_: Okay, thanks
[02:41] <mgolisch> Ninjavidual: so no picture at all?
[02:42] <cached> thanks
[02:42] <berengal> I'm trying to just copy the new compiled kernel, and updating /boot/grub/menu.lst now...
[02:42] <oxxtm> hi
[02:42] <fde> cached: That's actually for an older version, but it should all be applicable.
[02:42] <Ninjavidual> mgolisch: very funny. its not my computer and i dont know what to do. i cant even access the bios. the monito is black, just power light on the monitor is orange. yes, everything is connected up properly
[02:42] <thingy> Ninjavidual: Is the pc in standby mode by any chance? try holding the power button down for 4 secs after its powered up and when it powers down, start up as normal...also...can you confirm if there are any hard disk activity lights when the machine is powered up? Does the keyboard's capslock key for example light up when you hit it?
[02:43] <rexy_> berengal, you can move the kernel and optional initrd to your boot directory and add them to /boot/grub/menu.lst. But are you really sure you need a mannually compiled kernel? it potentially breaks a lot of stuff
[02:43] <Ninjavidual> thingy: ill find out
[02:43] <mgolisch> Ninjavidual: when the powerlighht is orange, it usualy means it has no signal, that would indicate a problem of zthe grafics card
[02:43] <wirechief_> berengal as you can see you will need to reinstall drivers after a new kernel  those other scripts are available they are opensource too
[02:43] <fde> Ninjavidual: If the issue is there before Ubuntu or GRUB starts, then it's not an Ubuntu issue.
[02:43] <Ninjavidual> mgolisch: thats what i thought
[02:44] <wirechief_> berengal and i use the ATI scripts here on  ubuntu and it works fine
[02:44] <eeboy> Thingy: Thanks!
[02:44] <thingy> Ninjavidual: ensure there are no usb devices plugged in like hdd/flash keys etc and no cd int he cdrom drive as well
[02:44] <mgolisch> id try unpluging the power cord, pressing the power button a few times so its realy powerless, then plug it in again and start
[02:44] <Ninjavidual> fde: every thing worked before i tried using the live cd i just downloaded of 8.04
[02:45] <fde> Ninjavidual: The LiveCD doesn't touch anything on your computer by design.
[02:45] <mgolisch> Ninjavidual: and maybe try to put in another grafics card
[02:45] <mgolisch> or take it out of the pci slot and back or to another
[02:45] <Ninjavidual> thingy: ok ill check everything mentioned and try again. if it dont work maybee i will have to try that with the grapphics card
[02:45] <fde> Ninjavidual: Maybe it's booting to the CD, and you have an unsupported Nvidia/ATI card? Did you take out the CD?
[02:45] <billenium> I just ./Configd and maked and made the .conf files for unrealircd... What do i do now?
[02:46] <mgolisch> anyone can play h264 encoded matroska video files?
[02:46] <mgolisch> none of my player seem to play them
[02:46] <kindofabuzz> try vlc
[02:46] <mgolisch> nothing
[02:46] <rexy_> mgolisch, vlc or mplayer should be able to
[02:46] <thingy> mgolisch: I thought mplayer and vlc can play those
[02:46] <berengal> Meh, new kernel doesn't work
[02:46] <koyo001> hi everyone
[02:46] <berengal> Probably messed up grub
[02:46] <rexy_> berengal, why are you installing a new kernel?
[02:47] <fde> billenium: This is an Ubuntu support channel, not a <random-software-off-the-internet> support channel... try #linux or something.
[02:47] <mgolisch> mplayer just doesnt display anything but cpu goes up
[02:47] <koyo001> have a problem with my video player
[02:47] <billenium> ohkay
[02:47] <xborgy> Hi,i have 2 60 gig RAID NTFS drives and Promise fast track boots them but when i try to mount them i get ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sda/pdc_eeaahffdh': Not a directory
[02:47] <Pelo> koyo001, state the problem
[02:47] <berengal> rexy_: Because my old one segfaults
[02:47] <koyo001> once i play too many videos at some point it just crashes
[02:47] <rexy_> berengal, a stock ubuntu kernel?
[02:47] <Ninjavidual> fde: i booted up for the first time on the live cd i just burnt of 8.04. everything worked fine. i did not install anything, just looked around at everything in the new ubuntu and then clicked shut down from within ubuntu. afterwards i took out the cd and tried to boot the pc. nothing, just black screen with the monitor light orange.
[02:47] <Pelo> mgolisch, check the prefs make sure that your video driver thingy is set to x11
[02:47] <berengal> rexy_: Yes
[02:47] <Dwxreaper3> Isn't unreal a package
[02:48] <xborgy> is there a good RAID NTFS app to recover the files on it?
[02:48] <Pelo> koyo001, which player ?
