[05:51] <bazhang> clinton: nah its alright--he just needs to be more descriptive ;]
[05:51] <ogre> BetaTest:  ok i use my regged nick bbias
[05:52] <L33tCh> ok about realplayer... where can i find it? my apt cache doesn't hold it and the site just downloads the exe
[05:52] <brazilian812> Jonathan83: whenever i sign in, i get a "failed to initialize HAL" error message
[05:52] <bazhang> L33tCh: there is a linux version--tar.gz if memory servers me well ;]
[05:53] <bazhang> L33tCh: the exe version will yield bupkis ;]
[05:53] <L33tCh> hmm, ok, thanks.. will search for it
[05:53] <L33tCh> hehe, yup
[05:53] <jw144000> clinton: I lost over 42GB on my internal hard drive, when I messed up and failed to install Grub on my external hard drive. How do I get it back.
[05:53] <clinton> jw144000: um, grub has nothing to do with hard drive space.
[05:53] <bazhang> !grub | jw144000
[05:53] <ubotu> jw144000: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:54] <MyNickName> hmmm
[05:54] <MyNickName> nick
[05:54] <mouseboyx> Or, you could download a super grub bootable cd.
[05:54] <Jonathan83> brazilian812 look here  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75328.html
[05:55] <Jonathan83> same issue
[05:55] <bazhang> jw144000: listen to mouseboyx
[05:55] <SJr|Nbook> What package do I reconfigure to select sources for apt?
[05:55] <imbecile> clinton:  and its not just a vmware problem so its not offtopic. its any vm app
[05:55] <Starnestommy> SJr|Nbook: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:55] <clinton> SJr|Nbook: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:55] <bazhang> SJr|Nbook: in synaptic the first four repos should do
[05:55] <SJr|Nbook> It's ubuntu server, and the sources.list file doesn't exist.
[05:56] <SJr|Nbook> there is a utility you can use, atleast in debian that will do it.
[05:56] <Creationist> Does KDevelop mesh well with Gnome?  If not, is there a Gtk alternative?
[05:56] <l0wrd> when will there be a new version of uBuntu
[05:56] <bazhang> SJr|Nbook: you may also want to enable canonical gutsy partner for the ooh server..that is different
[05:56] <Starnestommy> l0wrd: in April
[05:56] <SJr|Nbook> hmmmm I think it's 6.06
[05:56] <bazhang> april this year l0wrd
[05:56] <imbecile> BehiiMehii:  did you get my pm?
[05:56] <mouseboyx> l0wrd, every 10 months
[05:57] <clinton> mouseboyx: 10?
[05:57] <l0wrd> sweet
[05:57] <bazhang> 6 months but whos counting ;]
[05:57] <Starnestommy> I thought it was 8
[05:57] <clinton> it's 6
[05:57] <mouseboyx> 6.06 7.04 8
[05:57] <bazhang> six
[05:57] <shrapnel> Creationist: I used to use anjuta, that uses GTK
[05:57] <mouseboyx> nvmd i forgot about
[05:57] <l0wrd> it doesnt really matter i guess, i get pretty regular updates.
[05:57] <joecurlee> reformatting in process :)   any recommendations on how to improve dvd rip quality ("upconvert" if i must use the term)... i'm displaying content on a 40" samsung 1080p lcd flat panel... dvds look like crap
[05:57]  * imbecile cries in the corner
[05:57] <Oxygenetik> ohhh GTK
[05:57] <bazhang> mouseboyx: 6.10 would be so unhappy ;]
[05:57] <clinton> mouseboyx: you're clueless :)
[05:57] <mouseboyx> Yes.
[05:58] <mouseboyx> All the versions are pretty much the same thing anyway
[05:58] <l0wrd> joecurlee; you need to set your screen res to 1920x1080
[05:58] <Oxygenetik> ohhh versions!
[05:58] <l0wrd> joecurlee; and it will help if the movies are played in HD.
[05:58] <imbecile> anybody know why no VM app will power on for me? tried as root. no luck  tried diff distro for vm no luck. worked fine in feisty. what has changed? possible bug?
[05:58] <Oxygenetik> ohh virtual machines!
[05:58] <bazhang> l0wrd: he used automatix ;[
[05:58] <joecurlee> l0wrd: i did... what do you mean played in hd?
[05:59] <joecurlee> no not using automatix
[05:59] <joecurlee> reformatting :)
[05:59] <SJr|Nbook> So how can I regenerate a sources.list file from scratch
[05:59] <clinton> imbecile: you and ogre will be good friends
[05:59] <Creationist> shrapnel: Is that a RAD system?
[05:59] <joecurlee> *used* automatix for about 10 minutes :)
[05:59] <bazhang> aha
[05:59] <Creationist> shrapnel: I'm looking for a decent RAD environment to use as I learn Ruby
[05:59] <Oxygenetik> ohhhhh automatix
[05:59] <imbecile> clinton:  one & the same
[05:59] <l0wrd> joecurlee: you need an HD-DVD or Blu-ray drive and HD movies.  thats the best way to go.
[05:59] <Oxygenetik> ohhhh Bly-ray
[05:59] <shrapnel> Creationist: that's entirely different. =)  Try Aptana Studio.
[05:59] <clinton> imbecile: lol
[05:59] <bazhang> Oxygenetik: amusing yet annoying join #ubuntu-offtopic please ;]
[06:00] <joecurlee> yes i have blu-ray
[06:00] <shrapnel> Creationist: well, okay, not RAD, but IDE
[06:00] <Oxygenetik> Ohhhh RAD!!
[06:00] <shrapnel> Creationist: RAD for Ruby?
[06:00] <Oxygenetik> OOHHHH RUBY MAN!!
[06:00] <joecurlee> but i'm ripping my entire dvd collection... planning to have several computers purely for storage in a closet (or at least several drives)
[06:00] <l0wrd> wtf/
[06:00] <bazhang> Oxygenetik: stop now
[06:00] <deathface> hey
[06:00] <imbecile> this is sad :( I might have to run ubuntu in a VM instead. I have windows only app I need for work :(
[06:00] <deathface> whatsup
[06:00] <clinton> imbecile: have you tried wine ?
[06:01] <imbecile> clinton:  yeah that was my first try
[06:01] <l0wrd> or reactOS in qemu/
[06:01] <clinton> imbecile: what app is it?
[06:01] <l0wrd> try running it on ReactOS in QEmu
[06:01] <bazhang> imbecile: vmware fails to work for you in gutsy?
[06:01] <imbecile> clinton:  its a work specific app for geology
[06:02] <imbecile> bazhang:  yes
[06:02] <bazhang> imbecile: how installed?
[06:02] <l0wrd> brb
[06:02] <clinton> imbecile: can you tell me the name of it?
[06:02] <imbecile> bazhang: repos
[06:02] <bazhang> imbecile: what error if any?
[06:03] <imbecile> clinton:  its not finished yet so no. i might get sued by my boss
[06:03] <bazhang> heh
[06:03] <clinton> imbecile: that's comforting
[06:03] <Oxygenetik> ohhhhh bazhang!
[06:03] <mouseboyx> Is mysql faster than using files?
[06:03] <SJr|Nbook> How can I get a sources.list for ubuntu 6.06
[06:03] <Creationist> shrapnel: I use FreeRIDE as my IDE... but I'd like an easy way to create GUI apps with Ruby
[06:03] <imbecile> bazhang:  no error. wmware -server  just refuses to power on
[06:04] <mouseboyx> run vmware-server in terminal
[06:04] <bazhang> imbecile: you got the free key from vmware.com and the install went okay?
[06:04] <Ertain> Has anyone tried Fuppes?
[06:04] <clinton> imbecile: quite honestly, if the app works for you under Windows only and it is a critical applictation - you might consider running Windows or having a separate Windows box.
[06:04] <imbecile> bazhang:  it says i have an error then displayes nothing then says :end of error message
[06:04] <badkitty> imbecile: Dual Boot?
[06:05] <imbecile> bazhang:  yes i did
[06:05] <bazhang> imbecile: try as mouseboyx suggests and run from terminal : vmware-server
[06:05] <shrapnel> Creationist: ah.  I think there are Qt/GTK/wxWidgets bindings, and at least Qt and GTK have form designers (Qt Designer and Glade).
[06:05]  * Creationist could never stand using vmware.
[06:05] <SJr|Nbook> I love vmware
[06:05] <badkitty> I agree I like vbox much better
[06:05] <nemilar> imbecile: you might take a look at www.techthrob.com/tech/linux_virtualization.php
[06:05] <imbecile> badkitty:  i just got rid of my dual boot and figured id just run windows on a VM :(
[06:05]  * Creationist much prefers VirtualBox..... simple and to the point and just plain works.
[06:05] <badkitty> Although vmware in windows is nice
[06:06] <badkitty> imbecile: I just got rid of my dualboot too
[06:06] <tcpdumpgod> Who rocks the party that rocks the party?
[06:06] <mouseboyx> I just got my dual boot back.
[06:06] <nemilar> I used to dual boot, but VM works great
[06:06] <badkitty> hey .. vbox doesn't have applications like vmware does..does it?
[06:07] <nemilar> badkitty: what do you mean applications?
[06:07] <badkitty> nemilar: I mean appliances
[06:07] <nemilar> oh, lol
[06:07] <nemilar> no I don't think so...at least not for the personal license, anyway
[06:07] <imbecile> bazhang:  mouseboyx no output for it
[06:08] <m0u5e> exit
[06:08] <imbecile> bazhang:  mouseboyx: I'll take a screenshot
[06:08] <shrapnel> isn't an appliance just a single-purpose OS distro in a virtual machine image?  Can't any VM have appliances?  I prefer qemu, myself.
[06:08] <bazhang> imbecile: okay ;]
[06:08] <badkitty> shrapnel: Well yes, the trouble is finding them
[06:08] <m0u5e> :/
[06:08] <badkitty> shrapnel: Haven't tried that one yet.. pretty good?
[06:09] <nemilar> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_appliance
[06:09] <shrapnel> badkitty: I gave it a shot after vmware gave out on me and its setup script started failing.  I like it a lot.  more free, speedy, supports a bunch of stuff, has a kernel accelerator module.
[06:10] <joecurlee> i just looked down at my soon to be obsolete series 2 tivo... anyone know of anything I can salvage (besides hard drive) from the tivo?
[06:10] <shrapnel> badkitty: I usually run a win98 guest on an Athlon 2500 and it's pretty usable.
[06:10] <Aloha> does gutsy have any bugs regarding edit fields in firefox not showing correctly?
[06:11] <mouseboyx> Aloha, not that i have experienced.
[06:11] <badkitty> shrapnel: I use vmware in diwnows - or DID before I killed it today, I just installed vbo which I have had luck with before.. maybe I'll try qemu one of these days
[06:11] <nemilar> Aloha: gusty has lots of bugs... FF 3 was buggin' out of me until the update yesterday, too
[06:11] <m0u5e> Aloha: that would probably be a firefox bug, rather than a gutsy bug
[06:11] <jw144000> clinton: May I PM you?
[06:11] <imbecile> mouseboyx: bazhang: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6076/screenshotxg3.png    because the program doesnt crash i get no error output in terminal
[06:11] <badkitty> nemilar: I reinstalled gutsy today and at first, firefox wouldn't let me download or do any addons etc.. update fixed the problem
[06:11] <mouseboyx> imbecile, What happens in the terminal?
[06:12] <kavelot> is there a way for ubuntu to examine partitions and try to generate a menu.lst for grub based on OSs it finds?
[06:12] <mouseboyx> paste what happens in the terminal here: http://pastebin.com/
[06:12] <imbecile> mouseboyx:  nothing it runs fine. says nothing
[06:12] <bazhang> imbecile: the answer is leopard--illegal iirc and not supported here

[06:12] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[06:12] <badkitty> kavelot: Im pretty sure that is how it sets up grub for the first time.. as far as how to do this after the install Im not sure
[06:12] <Isaac_> Flash drive install question:  I heard you can install Ubuntu to a flash drive just like any other hard drive.  Does Ubuntu not recognize my flash drive because it is too small?
[06:12] <imbecile> bazhang:  same for windows and linux as well
[06:12] <nemilar> kavelot: I believe that's what the update-grub command does
[06:12] <Toaster`> !flash
[06:12] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:13] <nemilar> Isaac_: that seems unlikely
[06:13] <kavelot> good, thanks
[06:13] <bullgard4> Where can I find a description of kacpid? (There exists a acpid man page but no kacpid man page.)
[06:13] <nemilar> Isaac_: you should look at the output of the 'dmesg' command to see if it says anything about your flash drive
[06:13] <Aloha> bullgard4, is it a binary?
[06:13] <bazhang> imbecile: no problems here--must be the source of the ##windows software--only legally obtained versions work if memory serves
[06:14] <Creationist> !twss
[06:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about twss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:14] <Isaac_> So it would recognize it as a viable drive in the install menu, just tell me it's too small?
[06:14] <Creationist> hehe, dang
[06:14] <imbecile> mouseboyx:  bazhang: its not just vmware its vbox and qemu
[06:14] <bullgard4> Aloha: If you answer my question I will answer your question.
[06:14] <bazhang> imbecile: show me a screenshot of linux in vmware and then that would help alot ;]
[06:14] <m0u5e> how would i enable direct rendering on an SGI card?
[06:14] <Isaac_> What flash drives would be good to use?
[06:14] <nemilar> Isaac_: wait... you're trying to install Ubuntu onto a USB flash drive?
[06:14] <mouseboyx> imbecile, have you rebooted since you installed it?
[06:14] <Isaac_> nemilar yes
[06:14] <Aloha> bullgard4, i was asking because debian policy requires binaries in packages to have a man page
[06:14] <bazhang> Isaac_: www.pendrivelinux.com has what you need ;]
[06:14] <Creationist> !usb < Isaac_
[06:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb < isaac_ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:15] <nemilar> Isaac_: ahh okay that is a different story ... I thought you just couldn't get your flash drive recognized inside Ubuntu
[06:15] <Aloha> !botabuse | Creationist
[06:15] <ubotu> Creationist: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[06:15] <imbecile> bazhang:  it is a legal copy and like I said the bug is OS independent. i cant even GET to the install
[06:15] <imbecile> mouseboyx:  yes
[06:15] <Creationist> Aloha: Ah, that's how ya do it.
[06:15] <Isaac_> :/
[06:15] <Creationist> Aloha: But I wasn't abusing him... I was trying to help.
[06:15] <bazhang> imbecile: the linux vm not working screenshot? do you have one?
[06:15] <Isaac_> I thought it would work just like any other external hard drive install.
[06:15] <Isaac_> Assuming the flash drive was big enough
[06:16] <bazhang> Isaac_: sadly no
[06:16] <Creationist> Isaac_: There are tutorials on how to do it, but I apparently can't use the bot to show you where they are :).
[06:16] <nemilar> Isaac_: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar have you seen this?
[06:16] <imbecile> bazhang:  okay i will make a linux vm. why the heck are you pushing it so far with the linux thing?
[06:16] <mouseboyx> imbecile, I don't know what to say, if it were me i would install leporard instead of ubuntu.
[06:16] <MrObvious> !wine > do0zman
[06:16] <m0u5e> how would one enable direct rendering to their graphics card?
[06:16] <Kuroachia> Can anyone point me in the right direction (or perhaps answer the question, it's relatively basic) how can I save some text so that the terminal runs the same commands every time I want to do something?
[06:17] <mouseboyx> m0u5e, it depends on what graphics card you have.
[06:17] <nemilar> Kuroachia: sounds like you want the 'alias' command
[06:17] <m0u5e> mouseboyx: an SGI
[06:17] <bazhang> imbecile: see the /topic ? #ubuntu is linux iirc
[06:17] <mouseboyx> What is the GPU?
[06:17] <bazhang> graphics mouseboyx
[06:17] <mouseboyx> What is the GPU of your card?
[06:17] <m0u5e> ....
[06:18] <bullgard4> Aloha: "Ubuntu Package Contents Search Result: You have searched for kacpid in gutsy, architecture i386. Can't find that file, at least not in that distribution and on that architecture." But kacpid is a process on my Ubuntu 7.10.
[06:18] <Kuroachia> nemilar: I am making several iso's so I was hoping I could have the terminal or something automate the cycle, is that what I can do with 'alias'?
[06:18] <badkitty> m0u5e: Nvidia, ATI, Matrox???
[06:18] <nemilar> Kuroachia: oh, no... that would require a script
[06:18] <m0u5e> its an SGI
[06:18] <mouseboyx> I don't think there are linux drivers for it.
[06:18] <nemilar> Kuroachia: if you don't mind spending a little time on it, you could probably hack together a bash script to do that, using some tutorials on the web, in about 5-10 minutes
[06:18] <imbecile> bazhang:  you are totally just writing it off. next you will say its an issue with vmware. its all vm apps
[06:18] <Isaac_> Well shoot!  Can I still install Ubuntu to my external USB 160 gigabyte hard drive?
[06:19] <bazhang> Isaac_: sure
[06:19] <Kuroachia> nemilar: I figured as much, I was hoping to perhaps save the commands as a text document that I could then run. Bash script you say? All right, I'll take a look. Thanks!
 what kind of problem are you having?
[06:19] <nemilar> Kuroachia: that's essentially what bash script is
[06:19] <m0u5e> its a silicon integrated systems (SiS) 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[06:19] <mouseboyx> grep vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf  m0u5e
[06:19] <Isaac_> Then why won't it work with a pen drive?  I was told they had MBRs too.
[06:19] <Isaac_> I mean, why won't it work as a normal install?
[06:19] <mouseboyx> If this returns something then you are using the generic driver.
[06:19] <badkitty> m0u5e: Your kidding right?
[06:19] <bazhang> imbecile: well using leopard which is not supported here (or anywhere) is not a good way to ask for help
[06:20] <m0u5e> badkitty: no i'm not
[06:20] <nemilar> Isaac_: if memory serves, old flash drives don't have mbrs, or for some reason don't serve as bootable
[06:20] <tcpdumpgod> lol @ (or anywhere)
[06:20] <m0u5e> mouseboyx: nothing
[06:20] <tcpdumpgod> He's got the leopard man!
[06:20] <imbecile> tcpdumpgod:  i cant get any VM app to work. vmware/qemu/vbox all seem like theyre running till i try to power them on
[06:20] <tcpdumpgod> imbecile, i'll try to help you.
[06:20] <badkitty> m0u5e: Can that card handle direct rendering?
[06:20] <Isaac_> Can you recommend a brand that can serve as bootable?  Essentially just like an external hard drive, I can install it normally?
[06:20] <tcpdumpgod> imbecile, i know it's unix based, i can probably work w/it.
[06:21] <mouseboyx> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488185  has some stuff m0u5e
[06:21] <m0u5e> badkitty: glxinfo tells me its not enabled... don't know if it can handle it @_@;
[06:21] <fattmoley> I need help. Also I have an ubuntu question.
[06:21] <nemilar> fattmoley: ask away
[06:21] <imbecile> tcpdumpgod:  its a distri independent error. no matter what type of vm i try to run it wont work
[06:21] <tcpdumpgod> imbecile, you're saying that even though VMware is powered off and closed on your machine... (or anywhere)........
[06:21] <tcpdumpgod> Okay... so VMware works fine.
[06:21] <bazhang> Isaac_: a brand--you mean of hdd? or a linux distro 'brand'?
[06:21] <tcpdumpgod> But you cant run any virtual machines?
[06:22] <fattmoley> i recently installed a flash update and now flash in firefox seems to be hosed.
[06:22] <fattmoley> also what is the irc command to reply
[06:22] <nemilar> fattmoley: a lot of people are having that problem
[06:22] <nemilar> !flash
[06:22] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:22] <Isaac_> A brand of flash drive that basically I can install Ubuntu to normally, like I would install it to any disk drive.
[06:22] <bazhang> Isaac_: ah the usb key thing?
[06:22] <Isaac_> I tried that nemilar, it never did work.
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> Yeah fattmoley i just experienced that just about two seconds ago.
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> :\
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> literally.
[06:22] <nemilar> Isaac_: that's for flash, the plugin from adobe
[06:22] <tcpdumpgod> Im going to go to a previous version.
[06:23] <imbecile> tcpdumpgod:  yeah i cant run any. im gonna try to setup a ubuntu vm on the top of ubuntu just so bazhang understands its not cuz of leopard/xp or any of the vm apps. it IS ubuntu specific
[06:23] <fattmoley> how do you roll back to the previous flash version?
[06:23] <nemilar> fattmoley: I think people are fixing the flash issue by installing the version from Adobe's website, but someone here should second that before you do it
[06:23] <carl> how do I edit my xorg in terminal
[06:23] <mouseboyx> nemilar,  thats what i did/
[06:23] <Isaac_> I'm not sure bazhang.  All I know is I want a flash drive that I can install Ubuntu to (without that pen drive tutorial, which doesn't work for me for some reason).
[06:24] <Creationist> carl: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:24] <badkitty> nemilar: I just did a fresh install and my flash somehow got installed.. perhaps it was the ubuntu-restricted-extras??
[06:24] <tcpdumpgod> So you're booting an Ubuntu vmware image correct imbecile ?
[06:24] <Creationist> carl: or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:24] <bazhang> Isaac_: it is not really the brand--there are several distros that allow that but it is very experimental at this point--you can buy a usb flash key with a distro pre-installed--otherwise it is pendrivelinux.com
[06:24] <Isaac_> Are there any flash drives with a normal MBR, that would be recognized as a hard drive during a normal Ubuntu install from live CD?
[06:25] <Creationist> carl: but make SURE you make a backup of it first     sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[06:25] <Isaac_> I see.  Oh well, thanks anyway.
[06:25] <tcpdumpgod> Isaac_, im sure there are.
[06:25] <badkitty> Isaac_: The main thing is that your BIOS can boot to USB
[06:25] <bazhang> imbecile: my vmware works really really well--and this is on ubuntu--I would suggest the error lies outside of ubuntu ;]
[06:25] <Isaac_> Yes, my BIOS can boot from USB.
[06:25] <badkitty> Isaac_: Have a looksie http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar-p2
[06:26] <nemilar> Editing your xorg.conf file by hand will break your X configuration even if you do everything correctly. <--- the truth
[06:26] <bazhang> Isaac_: the tutorials there are also what some people use for the eeepc which does not have a cd drive--their webpage and wiki is at www.eeeuser.com ;]
[06:26] <badkitty> nemilar: haha
[06:26] <mouseboyx> nemilar, completely untrue.
[06:26] <imbecile> tcpdumpgod:  im running ubuntu and am trying to setup a ubuntu vm on top of it because bazhang keeps trying to blame other distros.. heres the screenshot as proof http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5894/screenshot1rs7.png
[06:26] <carl> I need tohe code to do the xorg it's self in the terminal where I can edit it in the terminal
[06:26] <badkitty> mouseboyx: I think he was being sarcastic
[06:26] <matt_> i need some help installing a good media center on ubuntu with out rebooting
[06:26] <nemilar> haha yeah....  for the most part
[06:27] <fattmoley> Hey I also have a problem with Ubuntu taking an extremely long time to boot and a blank screen until the desktop shows up
[06:27] <mouseboyx> I never back up anything, lol and I have been able to fix everything
[06:27] <Toaster`> fattmoley: make sure you have updated sources.  falsh and firefox was borked for me, but I just refreshed and it re-installed fine
[06:27] <Isaac_> But when I try to install Ubuntu to the flash drive, the installer doesn't recognize the flash drive as a hard drive.  Are there any flash drives that will be recognized as a normal hard drive by Ubuntu during a normal install?
[06:27] <imbecile> bazhang:  http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5894/screenshot1rs7.png that better? this is a fresh install btw (2 days old) and I have not messed anything up
[06:27] <nemilar> Isaac_: a flash drive is not a hard drive
[06:27] <badkitty> fattmoley: I have heard other people having that issue as well
[06:27] <Isaac_> Can it be used as a hard drive though?
[06:27] <badkitty> carl: eh?
[06:27] <tcpdumpgod> imbecile, have you tried here? : http://www.google.com/search?q=%22unable+to+change+virtual+machine+power+state%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[06:27] <tcpdumpgod> brb, i need a ciggy
[06:27] <imbecile> bazhang:  like i was saying vmware worked perfectly for me as well before gutsy
[06:27] <nemilar> Isaac_: they are both storage devices.  That is all they have in common
[06:27] <Isaac_> As in, are there any flash drives that mimic hard drives?
[06:28] <imbecile> tcpdumpgod:  ill check it out thx
[06:28] <m0u5e> so... anyone know if its possible to convert something packaged for redhat 7.2 so that it could be run in ubuntu?
[06:28] <badkitty> Isaac_: What are you saying.. did you look at my tutorial page i gave u
[06:28] <tcpdumpgod> im fairly sure you'll find what you need there, no problem imbecile :)
[06:28] <Isaac_> Yes
[06:28] <Invisible_Ubunti> I loaded compiz and now my Gnome session is borked I can switch to any app I had open before is there anyway to unfreeze it without doing a full reboot? I have some file downloading but can see how far they are alng
[06:28] <Isaac_> Several times
[06:28] <mouseboyx> m0u5e, use alien.
[06:28] <nemilar> m0u5e: the alien program will do that, but it's not recommended
[06:28] <q_a_z_steve> http://qaz.pastebin.org/18670
[06:28] <Isaac_> Never worked for me.  I've tried it before.
[06:28] <mouseboyx> google.com/search?alien+ubuntu
[06:28] <m0u5e> hmm okay thx, (the issue is that SiS only has a redhat version)
[06:28] <bazhang> imbecile: that is an unusual looking vmware; do you have the most recent version? mine is alot recent looking in terms of interface etc
[06:28] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: might try  killall -9 compiz
[06:29] <wsguede> using the terminal, how do i switch from ubuntu to xubuntu?
[06:29] <bazhang> m0u5e: not a good idea--what app?
[06:29] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: after that run the metacity command
[06:29] <mouseboyx> could you have both deb and rpm system?
[06:29] <m0u5e> bazhang: not an app, drivers
[06:29] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, doesn't seem to have a effect every app i load I can't switch to once I leave it to go to a new app loaded
[06:29] <nemilar> mouseboyx: that sounds like trouble
[06:30] <mouseboyx> But cool.
[06:30] <bazhang> m0u5e: major breakage city
[06:30] <m0u5e> bazhang: lol i know
[06:30] <imbecile> bazhang:  got it from the repos this morning
[06:30] <m0u5e> bazhang: don't see any other choice thougH :/
[06:30] <wsguede> using the terminal, how do i switch from ubuntu to xubuntu?
[06:30] <mouseboyx> wsguede, I don't understand.
[06:30] <nemilar> m0u5e: if they're kernel modules, then it's probably a /really/ bad idea
[06:30] <ethan961> think so?
[06:30] <Isaac_> Oh well.  Thanks y'all.  Guess I'll just have to put up with this big external hard drive for an external Ubuntu install...........
[06:31] <imbecile> bazhang:  its vmware-server the only vmware they had in repos
[06:31] <Invisible_Ubunti> wsguede, they may have changed it but it used to be xwmconfig i think
[06:31] <nemilar> Isaac_: google it, dude
[06:31] <m0u5e> nemilar: lol
[06:31] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, any other idea's lol
[06:31] <Isaac_> Sure wish they'd make a hard drive as small as a pen drive though.  Seems they could if they wanted to these days.
[06:31] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: that command did nothing?
[06:31] <bazhang> imbecile: the canonical gutsy partner?
[06:31] <Isaac_> All I'd need is four gigs or so
[06:31] <wsguede> mouseboyx: i have ubuntu installed, but its slow on my older machine, i want to switch to xubuntu, w/o doing the cd install
[06:31] <nemilar> Isaac_: stop whining and GOOGLE it
[06:31] <nemilar> Isaac_: everyone here gave you options
[06:31] <mouseboyx> Oh, wsguede then sudo apt-get install xfce
[06:32] <wsguede> Invisible_Ubunti: sudo?
[06:32] <bazhang> Isaac_: you can buy them cough mandriva cough already preinstalled..
[06:32] <jw144000> Can anyone help me to install grub on this external HD of mine? I installed Gutsy on it but wound up getting a grub error, which overwrote the MBR on my internal HD (I have it fixed though)
[06:32] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, nothing I can't switch back to that console i have to open a new one to type anything again and I won't be able to switch back to xchat
[06:32] <ethan961> it was pretty abysmal when I had dual RPM and DEB set up on my system
[06:32] <imbecile> bazhang:  im not sure which one it was. it was one of the default repos though. the only repo i added was reocard
[06:32] <mouseboyx> Oh, wsguede then sudo apt-get install xfce4, my bad
[06:32] <bazhang> imbecile: reocard? which one is that?
[06:32] <ethan961> For rpm alien works plenty good enough for me
[06:33] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: ahh.  you can enter commands by switching to a TTY (hold control+alt and press F3) ; then to get back to graphical control+alt+F7
[06:33] <nemilar> It's F7 right, not F8
[06:33] <imbecile> bazhang: the eyecandy one with AWN stuff. just eyecandy stuff
[06:33] <nemilar> yeah it's f7, Invisible_Ubunti
[06:33] <mouseboyx>  wsguede [sudo apt-get install xfce4] everything inside brackets in a terminal.
[06:33] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, says Compiz: no processkilled
[06:33] <wsguede> mouseboyx: will this erase my settings?
[06:33] <mouseboyx> I don
[06:33] <mouseboyx> t know.
[06:33] <bazhang> imbecile: would you mind posting your sources list?
[06:33] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: killall -9 compiz & killall -9 compiz.real
[06:33] <mouseboyx> Probably not. you will have gnome and xfce4
[06:33] <wsguede> mouseboyx: we will find out
[06:33] <mouseboyx> then you just logout and slect xfce4 session
[06:34] <imbecile> bazhang:  I really do think its a bug. ive made plenty of vm before so i know its not that
[06:34] <imbecile> bazhang:  no problem give me a sec
[06:34] <NeT_DeMoN_> whats the off-topic channel?
[06:34] <nemilar> #ubuntu-offtopic NeT_DeMoN_
[06:34] <NeT_DeMoN_> nemilar thanks
[06:34] <nemilar> yep
[06:34] <bazhang> imbecile: the vmware-server is in the canonical gutsy partner if you only have the first four then perhaps you have some other version
[06:35] <carl> how do I install compiz
[06:35] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, still the same I did ps aux and I don't see any compiz running I think just the windows settings are temp borked
[06:35] <Kuwanger> So, um, does ubuntu provide support for usplash?  Because, usplash doesn't seem to actually support transparency.
[06:35] <Invisible_Ubunti> carl, think its installed by default
[06:35] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: do you see metacity running?
[06:35] <mouseboyx> If your really worried about X11 speed then get jwm.
[06:35] <bazhang> Kuwanger: you want to change it? want a factoid?
[06:35] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: ps aux | grep -i metacity
[06:36] <crdlb> carl: it's already installed; if you want help using it, jion #compiz-fusion
[06:36] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, nope
[06:36] <badkitty> carl pm me ill help
[06:36] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: try this, in the TTY:  export DISPLAY=":0.0" && metacity --replace &
[06:36] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, I started it to see if it worked didn't config anything lol playing around and broke lol
[06:36] <Kuwanger> bazhang: Well, I probably *will* change it.  I'm just annoyed that transparent_color in usplash_pixmap means nothing.  And I wonder if the "simple runlength encoding" actually exists, since I've yet to see anything use it to store the pixmap data.
[06:37] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, wow thnx.. what did that do?
[06:37] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: worked?
[06:37] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, yea, you told it to put metacity back to my display?
[06:38] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: it set your DISPLAY variable, so your TTY knew which X session to control; and them metacity ran with the command to replace any existing window managers
[06:38] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: by existing I mean, currently running
[06:38] <imbecile> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55185/
[06:38] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, ok, now question if you would
[06:38] <nemilar> shoot
[06:38] <kunzy> Hey, i was booting up just fine, then i took my pc to school to kinda show what all ubuntu was about.  Then i got home and when i connected it back up, GRUB booted back up but XP was no longer a choice.  Where is the file that manages the GRUB boot menu and i am also going to need help to add my XP option for my master IDE HDD
[06:38] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, when I started compiz it was in a terminal why just closing it did it do that?
[06:39] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: don't ask me... I hate compiz.  too buggy
[06:39] <mouseboyx> kunzy, its /boot/grub/menu.lst be careful!
[06:39] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, that is the way it looks, just wanted to see what all the fuss was about but I don't see a + to actually using it just from looking at it didn't see any flashy or breaking graphics
[06:40] <kunzy> mouseboyx: Thanks, i will see what i can find.  I think the file itself got corrupt because i have to manually add the -noapic option manually now
[06:40] <Invisible_Ubunti> lilo > grub for ease to use!
[06:40] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: if it works it can be useful/fun...some of the guys here swear by it
[06:41] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, I'll check it out bored while awaiting asus to actually send me a working mobo back for my main PC 3rd times the charm!!
[06:41] <WGGMk> Im having a problem with my sound. It seems every time an application that uses sound (after the sound has been played) will hang the sound, like after Banshee is finished a song it hangs, or if you try to skip a song, it hangs. Although pidgin will not hang, but sound will no longer work untill i shut down pidgin. Any thoughts????
[06:41] <mouseboyx> kunzy, that was redundant, but its something like   <title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root            (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader     +1>
[06:41] <kunzy> Im aiming to learn all i can so after i am comfortable with GRUB i am probably going to switch to lilo
[06:42] <mouseboyx> the hd0,0 will change depending on which Hard drive it is.
[06:42] <Invisible_Ubunti> kunzy, lilo is 1000x easy imo but I started Linux on slackware which is harder to use then ubuntu
[06:42] <nemilar> grub > lilo
[06:42] <nemilar> just 'cause it is.
[06:42] <mouseboyx> does slackware come with X?
[06:42] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, why you say that?
[06:42] <Invisible_Ubunti> mouseboyx, slackware can use any x window
[06:43] <mouseboyx> ?
[06:43] <imbecile> bazhang: agree that its a bug? and like i said its not just vmware that doesnt work. no virtualbox no qemu and im sure no other VM app would work either
[06:43] <kiefer> curious if there is anyone about who can help me troubleshooting steam
[06:43] <Invisible_Ubunti> mouseboyx, comes with out of install, xfce, gnome, kde, blackbox, fluxbox and some others.
[06:43] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: GRUB is more modern
[06:43] <zcat[1]> trying to figure out how terminals get started these days.. used to be /etc/inittab .. if I want tty1 to drop straight to a 'top' or 'tail -f /var/log/squid.log' how would I do that?
[06:43] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: I don't know any of the specifics, I just know it's better :)
[06:43] <mouseboyx> sudo apt-get install jwm
[06:44] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, :P its better because of the looks but config file wise lilo is easier i think for new people
[06:44] <kunzy> mouseboyx:  What do i put in for the kernel or is that not neccesary
[06:44] <mouseboyx> none for windows.
[06:44] <kunzy> k
[06:44] <zcat[1]> lilo is so 1995 ..
[06:45] <kunzy> mouseboyx:  also, what are the options savedefault makeactive chainloader     +1   for?
[06:45] <mouseboyx> http://pastebin.com/m3663f927
[06:45] <bazhang> imbecile: are these older vm's you are trying to run?
[06:45] <mouseboyx> Copying this file will break the install.
[06:46] <kunzy> kunzy:  Yea, i figured
[06:46] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, one thing I'm noticing though is diffrence in kubuntu and ubuntu is that by installing restricted drivers for totem/ubuntu doesn't give mpeg/xvid/mp4 playback like it does for kubuntu
[06:46] <kunzy> mouseboyx:  Yea, i figured
[06:46] <zcat[1]> answered my own question anyhow.. /etc/event.d/tty*, thanks guys :)
[06:47] <imbecile> bazhang:  they dont  even have an os installed yet. just made today
[06:47] <mouseboyx> hte last 5 lines are for windows.
[06:48] <bazhang> imbecile: how did you upgrade from feisty? via the net? and did you first uninstall the older version of vmware?
[06:48] <bullgard4> Where can I find a description of kacpid? (There exists a acpid man page but no kacpid man page.)
[06:48] <imbecile> bazhang:  fresh gutsy install
[06:48] <kunzy> mouseboyx:  Yea, i think i got it.  Pretty sure anyways.   Just need to sudo copy the edited one in again and test it.   Any idea how it could have been changed without me doing it?
[06:49] <ubuntu> hey
[06:49] <bazhang> imbecile: you completely overwrote feisty?
[06:49] <imbecile> bazhang:  yes
[06:49] <Invisible_Ubunti> Whats a better Torrent app besides the default BitTorrent you can't even see how many leechers/seeders per Torrent etc?
[06:49] <ubuntu> anyone know where i could get some help getting my wireless card working?
[06:50] <ubuntu> i mustve uninstalled it by mistake...
[06:50] <Invisible_Ubunti> ubuntu, how did you install it the 1st time?
[06:50] <imbecile> bazhang:  i just installed from live disk yesterday
[06:50] <Creed> ZOMG NO MORE WRITERS STRIKE!!! http://digg.com/television/THE_WRITERS_STRIKE_IS_OVER_2
[06:50] <ubuntu> well it worked when i installed ubuntu
[06:50] <ubuntu> its the ipw2200 driver i think
[06:51] <bazhang> imbecile: well that eliminates that as a possible cause of failure--hard to explain how mine works so flawlessly though
[06:51] <bazhang> Creed: spam elsewhere please
[06:51] <imbecile> bazhang:  i know :( it worked for me before too. thats why i think its a hardware specific bug w/ ubuntu
[06:52] <Creed> sorry, did a /amsg bazhang
[06:52] <ubuntu> i was following a guide on howto update the ipw2200 driver and then i restarted and it doesnt have the wireless netwrok adapter listed anymore
[06:52] <zcat[1]> boing ... I'm back
[06:52] <bazhang> imbecile: either that or the backports/awn stuff you have enabled--that is a striking difference in our installs
[06:53] <zcat[1]> Hehe.. just configured a sweet firewall/transparent proxy / dansguardian for the church up the road...
[06:53] <imbecile> bazhang:  I didnt even have those repos enabled when i first was trying to fix it
[06:53] <Invisible_Ubunti> ubuntu, sounds like the driver didn't work so you should use the onld one
[06:53] <zcat[1]> it's even a caching proxy too...
[06:53] <ubuntu> well how do i go back to the old one?
[06:53] <bazhang> imbecile:  all this in a single day? ;]
[06:53] <Invisible_Ubunti> zcat[1], cool want ot setup my linux box now?
[06:54] <bullgard4> What is meant by a 'kernel thread'?
[06:54] <_Lance> I got a question here, anyone know why Ubuntu no longer detects discs in my cd drive, It worked yesterday but now it does not, I'll also note that it does work in windows, plz help
[06:54] <zcat[1]> Invisible_Ubunti, I can try and helpp.. what's to do?
[06:54] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: you have a bit of experience with dansguardian?
[06:54] <ubuntu> im really stuck here as i cant use my laptop and i have to run the live cd to go online which is what im doing now
[06:54] <imbecile> bazhang: bazhang 2 days.. actually 5 days trying to get a freakin'  virtual machine up
[06:54] <jjgalvez> I just built the webcam driver for my Asus laptop but it built as standalone, where do I copy the driver to and how do I make it load automatically?
[06:54] <zcat[1]> bullgard4, y'know how the internet is like a series of tubes.. well the kernel is like a bundle of threads, see... :)
[06:54] <Invisible_Ubunti> zcat[1], was being a little sarcastic :P  I don't know what needs to be done just passing time before my main PC is back up and running I think I'll load linux on it :P
[06:55] <imbecile> bazhang:  with Virtualbox it gives me a more verbose output but problem is that output is wrong. it tells me I need a package I already have installed
[06:55] <zcat[1]> WGGMk, vaguely.. I set it up twice 'cos I was so keen to try alpha3 I forgot I haven't backed up all the work I did on it :)
[06:55] <_Lance> anyone at all have any idea?
[06:55] <Invisible_Ubunti> zcat[1], so fair I have web working, sound, nvidia driver with a specail boot loader, login screen and gtk theme thats as far as I've got in 2 days
[06:56] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: would you happen to know why dansguardian would just hang when trying to start or restart it? or where I could look to investigate the problem??
[06:56] <Creationist> how do I search for a certain filename in the terminal?
[06:56] <ubuntu> anyone have any ideas like in windows there is system restore is there anything like taht in ubuntu?
[06:57] <zcat[1]> WGGMk, shuffle your blacklists.. DG sorts them, and the sort algo it uses is really inefficient with already-sorted lists ... or does it just hang 'forever'?
[06:57] <WGGMk> Creationist: try "locate <filename>"
[06:57] <_Lance>
[06:57] <bazhang> imbecile: this is really troubling--vmware is so necessary these days--I wish I could help out more--perhaps just post a message to the other channels and they can help (eventually)--what is your computer make and model?
[06:58] <_Lance> anyone at least help me on why my computer can't come back on from suspend or is that a common bug?
[06:58] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: not sure what you mean by 'shuffle' but yes, it hangs forever when starting from webmin, and when executing "sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian start" it will stay at "Starting DansGuardian..." and ill never get the [ok]
[06:58] <zcat[1]> ubuntu, in ubuntu there's 'keep your home in a different partition and just reinstall if things get too messed up
[06:58] <Trebor11> Hello, uh..  I've been trying to get alsa to dmix on my computer for a few days now and I've been extremely unsuccessful.  I followed the instructions on the alsa wiki page and it didn't help me at all..  Anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong?
[06:59] <imbecile> bazhang:  I know :( if i cant get it working I HAVE to install windows. it is a gateway mx6920
[06:59] <kunzy> mouseboyx:  ok, got it working.  Thanks for the help.  Much appreciated
[06:59] <zcat[1]> WGGMk, no idea sorry, not even sure where to start.. everything 'just worked' for me..
[06:59] <zcat[1]> .. twice, even!
[06:59] <jjgalvez> where do kernel modules go?
[07:00] <sulle> How do i check for what ubuntu i got?. drapper, edgy etc?.
[07:00] <mouseboyx>  Your welcome, I like to help
[07:00] <imbecile> bazhang:  its also my only computer too so I cant just run ubunto on another box
[07:00] <zcat[1]> jjgalvez, /lib/modules/somewheredependingonthekernelandwhatthemoduleis
[07:00] <imbecile> ubuntu*
[07:00] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: everything worked for me as well, for a very long time. then my ISP dropped out and I was forced to restart my server completely (not sure why) and it hung while booting.. hooked up the monitor and say it was hanging at DansGuardian
[07:00] <ubuntu> ok well i didnt keep my home in a different partition and i cant format the laptop so is there any way that i can get the original drivers that came on my install cd?
[07:00] <Creationist> WGGMk: Thank you.. was trying to use find ;)
[07:00] <oranye_> thanx
[07:00] <sulle> How do i check for what ubuntu i got?. drapper, edgy etc?. what do i type?.
[07:00] <Invisible_Ubunti> Creationist, hey again how you doing?
[07:00] <WGGMk> Creationist: np
[07:01] <joecurlee> hi, just reinstalled ubuntu, followed instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu for dvd playback, but can't get dvds to play :(
[07:01] <zcat[1]> WGGMk, backup whatever config you have, and reinstall DG (and perhaps squid too)
[07:01] <joecurlee> supposedly totem doesn't recognize the format
[07:01] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: uggh, thats a couple of months of cache
[07:01] <jjgalvez> zcat[1] the module of for the build in webcam that came with my asus laptop its a D-Max camera
[07:01] <bazhang> imbecile: if you lived nearby I would *loan* you my eeepc ;]
[07:01] <zcat[1]> WGGMk, that's about all I can suggest.. perhaps dig around in /var/log and see if there's any clues there?
[07:01] <joecurlee> says it "does not have the appropriate plugins"
[07:02] <ubuntu> anybody plz help?
[07:02] <imbecile> bazhang:  maybe a bad install disk???? I pray that is it. could that HONESTLY be the problem? id hate to reburn and reinstall for nothing
[07:02] <Invisible_Ubunti> joecurlee, just go to synaptics package manger and install all the restricted repo's and it shoudl work on most media players
[07:02] <joecurlee> thought I already did that but I'll check it out again
[07:02] <Trebor11> sulle: if you're on ubuntu desktop, you can just click system>About Ubuntu and in there there's a "Version and Relese Numbers" button which will tell you what you have
[07:02] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: its not "URGENT" to have it up, im planning a migration to a system setup with LVM.. wasnt as keen about it when I first deployed the server.. ill just wait to migrate
[07:02] <Invisible_Ubunti> joecurlee, did that and its running fine on Gnome Player for mp3's and mp4, mpeg, xvid
[07:02] <bazhang> imbecile: for ubuntu? or for the windows /heh leopard ones?
[07:03] <sulle> Trebor11: thnx =)
[07:03] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: just curious, incase it happens again, but ill take a walk around the log files
[07:03] <imbecile> bazhang:  for ubuntu. i have a legit windows copy
[07:03] <bazhang> joecurlee: ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[07:04] <joecurlee> just installed w64codecs.. checking restricted extras
[07:04] <WGGMk> Im having a problem with my sound. It seems every time an application that uses sound (after the sound has been played) will hang the sound, like after Banshee is finished a song it hangs, or if you try to skip a song, it hangs. Although pidgin will not hang, but sound will no longer work untill i shut down pidgin. Any thoughts????
[07:04] <zcat[1]> ubuntu-restricted-extras is such a cool idea.. who needs easyubuntu any more.. !
[07:04] <bazhang> imbecile: that might be it, but I would try to do it without the eye candy stuff first as the other geology stuff is so mission critical for you--then add it if it does not work and perhaps dual boot
[07:04] <joecurlee> nope, installing now :)
[07:04] <ubuntu> does any1 else have the intel 2200 wirless card?
[07:05] <regulate> imbecile: do you have the vmmon module loaded?
[07:05] <imbecile> regulate:  let me check
[07:05] <fattmoley> So is there going to be some kind of fix for this flash problem that doesn't involve the command line? I'
[07:06] <fattmoley> d really like my flash back.
[07:06] <joecurlee> btw: when ubuntu asks for the gutsy gibbons disc, make sure you don't set it on top of another disc and push the tray shut... sounds like a finger in a garbage disposal
[07:06] <bazhang> imbecile: I dont doubt your windows is legit; but leopard? that sounds fishy ;]
[07:06] <imbecile> regulate:  is it a package?
[07:06] <imbecile> bazhang:  yeah that of course is not. just wanted to check it out
[07:06] <zcat[1]> joecurlee, you did that too, huh?!!  makes a hell of a racket!
[07:07] <regulate> imbecile: lsmod| grep vmmon
[07:07] <joecurlee> yes... computer is above me right now, didn't see the other disc... plus it's late and I've had plenty of rum
[07:07] <ethan961> haha

[07:17] <joecurlee> later thanks again for help :)
[07:18] <bazhang> bod_: did splashy ever work? or once you rebooted you got this error? are you backed up?
[07:18] <bod_> bazhang,  ???
[07:19] <bod_> oh sorry
[07:20] <Rcommander> On my Asus g1s in Gnome ubuntu all my FN keys works fine, however in Kubuntu they don't seem to work right??
[07:20] <bod_> bazhang, unforunately my backup was scheduled for today, so i have no backup, and i never got splashy working, although theres something on the site i dont understand here (Note that to enable the framebuffer on your kernel, you will need to add a parameter to the kernel arguments: vga=791. Read the framebuffer documentation of the kernel, or Splashy's README file, on how to use different resolutions. You will also need the keyword s
[07:20] <bod_> plash as an argument. This is respected by Splashy 0.2.x and up)
[07:21] <linlynx6> ok there is my probleme I want to install ubuntu manual partition and I have already opensuse 10.3 install here I got a 73 mb fat 16 for windows, 89968mb ntfs for windows 1390 swap for linux and 11614 mb what I do and 16985mb what I do
[07:21] <xTheGoat121x> Evening everyone
[07:21] <bazhang> bod_: that would be the boot parameters such as noapic if I recall correctly--anyway you can run a livecd then back up that way?
[07:22] <bod_> bazhang, but the kernal panic is unable to mount my hd,. im booted into ubuntu on my other hard drive atm, and i cant see my main drive
[07:22] <pawan> hi
[07:22] <WGGMk> Im having a problem with my sound.

Although pidgin will not hang, but sound will no longer work untill i shut down pidgin. Any thoughts????
[07:23] <regulate> imbecile: /etc/init.d/vmware-server start
[07:23] <bazhang> bod_: right, so what about using a livecd and booting up from that, then copying the back up files over to a usb stick or elsewhere
[07:24] <Rcommander> anyone have an idea about the G1s?
[07:24] <bod_> bazhang, i have never taken a backup before, my backup would have been all the files,. i dontknow which ones to copy without copying the broken splashy? and will the livecd be able to mount my hard drive?
[07:25] <bazhang> bod_: well boot up from the livecd first and see; then we can try and troubleshoot from there

[07:43] <nemilar> timandtom: it'll install but I wouldn't count on it booting
[07:43] <timandtom> nemilar: Ah, dangit >.> That would explain why it isn't working very well...
[07:43] <nemilar> lol, just set it to master and it should be fine
[07:44] <imbecile> regulate:  2.6.22-14-generic  2.6.22-14-rt  2.6.22-14-server

[07:46] <astyler> or do i need master jumper
[07:46] <regulate> imbecile: then try loading them again
[07:47] <badkitty> astyler: I dont know, Im assuming it should be a BIOS thing??
[07:47] <astyler> badkitty: true, it didnt show up in bios and that has nothing to do with linux
[07:48] <astyler> i was only thinking linux because it didnt show up in partition manager
[07:48] <astyler> hmmm
[07:48] <fragged[away]> nemilar, incorrect
[07:48] <mak> after restoring the packages how do i install the packages...
[07:48] <nemilar> fragged[away]: ?
[07:48] <fragged[away]> timandtom, you can boot off a slave, provided your BIOS is set to boot primarily off that disk
[07:48] <badkitty> fragged[away]: Your not away!
[07:49] <mak> after restoring the packages  from apt on how do i install the packages...
[07:49] <arathald_> can anyone help me with this PPTP problem?
[07:49] <gorlak> on 7.10 ubuntu install anyone know a command that would cause the CD to stay closed, or basically lock, so that it wont open if the button is pressed?
[07:49] <timandtom> fragged[away] :D Awesome. thanks
[07:49] <fragged[away]> and if you have a boot flag set on the drive... bios can be a prick to get working at time especially with hard drives because they incorrectly label disks as C:/
[07:49] <PKdoR> how can I istall VM ware Workstaion on Ubuntu?
[07:49] <fragged[away]> but Ubuntu uses nice settings which boot off a ID rather than a certain drive which means you /should/ be able to freely move around the ubuntu disk,
[07:50] <regulate> PKdoR: download it, untar it. run vmware-install.pl
[07:50] <fragged[away]> Is VMWare free these days?
[07:50] <regulate> server is
[07:50] <gorlak> the player is
[07:50] <gorlak> and server
[07:50] <regulate> and player
[07:50] <PKdoR> no
[07:50] <nemilar> you can get a free key for personal use
[07:50] <gorlak> workstation i believe you need to buy and some of the other ones
[07:50] <mak> after restoring the packages  from apt on how do i install the packages...
[07:50] <imbecile> regulate:  it deleted my previous vm i have to set another up. a few minutes please
[07:51] <fragged[away]> whats the difference between server / player / workstation?
[07:51] <regulate> imbecile: did the modules load with modprobe?
[07:51] <nemilar> lol it's called client, not player
[07:51] <joot> mak, apt-get install <package>
[07:51] <imbecile> regulate:  how do i do that again?
[07:51] <gorlak> player only 'plays' the saved virtual computers, workstation lets you create and change major settings, as for server im not sure
[07:51] <PKdoR> fragged[away]: Not Free, I thing they ither Have or will soon have a OpenSource version
[07:51] <gorlak> ah, client =)
[07:51] <regulate> imbecile: modprobe vmmon and modprobe vmnet
[07:51] <Flynsarmy> Is there a terminal command to open another terminal window?
[07:52] <nemilar> omg there is a VMware Player
[07:52] <astyler> on an unrelated note vm pays ridiculously well
[07:52] <arathald_> i much prefer virtualbox
[07:52] <nemilar> VirtualBox is pretty good
[07:52] <gorlak> i use vmware workstation, it works really well
[07:52] <joot> mak, or goto synaptic package manager and mark the package for installation
[07:52] <arathald_> i couldnt get several things working on vmware, which virtualbox did no problem
[07:52] <fragged[away]> nemilar, actually it IS a client but according to http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ its probbably called a player, I'm getting sick of you blurting out stupidly incorrect answers all the time
[07:52] <gorlak> i might have to give virtual box a spin then
[07:53] <badkitty> arathald_: same here
[07:53] <nemilar> fragged[away]: hey, a) I corrected myself
[07:53] <badkitty> I hear qemu is good too
[07:53] <fragged[away]> ah I see,
[07:53] <arathald_> vbox does hardware emulation much better in my experience
[07:53] <imbecile> regulate:  modules still not loaded
[07:53] <regulate> imbecile: modprobe -v vmmon
[07:53] <arathald_> so, anyone up for helping with a VPN problem?
[07:53] <regulate> imbecile: what does it say?
[07:53] <PKdoR> I also Love VBox But It cat yey make SnapShots Of VMWare Virtual Discs's
[07:53] <imbecile> regulate:  I should tell you that no VM app works for me
[07:54] <regulate> why are you running a -rt kernel?
[07:54] <imbecile> regulate:  ubuntustudio
[07:55] <regulate> you'll need to compile the modules for your kernel
[07:55] <imbecile> regulate:  ahh so that is it?
[07:55] <PKdoR> gorlak: I highlly recommend VirtualBox Very Highly
[07:56] <imbecile> regulate:  ogre@HappyLappy:/lib/modules$ sudo modprobe -v vmmon
[07:56] <imbecile> FATAL: Module vmmon not found.
[07:56] <arathald_> no VPN help? :(
[07:56] <xukun> Is there something like visio for linux
[07:56] <regulate> imbecile: dpkg -L vmware-server | grep config

[07:57] <fragged[away]> xukun, is that the Microsoft Developer Environment? Try Eclipse or something, personally I like geany for my intermediate python skills but I'm newb :)

[07:57] <wolfman2323> hi.. ive just installed ms office using wine.. when i started ms access.. it has an error and wont run...   any suggestions
[07:58] <fragged[away]> wolfman2323, Office 2003? afaik access doesnt work, but word etc will
[07:58] <arathald_> fragged[away]: visio is a visual diagramming software for stuff like flowcharts and circuit diagrams
[07:58] <fragged[away]> oh I see, shows how much I use office ;)
[07:58] <badkitty> xukan visio: That is the MS product that does like weird layout stuff right?
[07:58] <nemilar> fragged[away]: office 2k3 can work in wine
[07:58] <arathald_> btw visio absolutely blows
[07:58] <copacabana> never install office
[07:58] <Flannel> xukun: Do you want UML modelling? or flow charts? or what?
[07:58] <arathald_> its  huge pain to use
[07:58] <badkitty> Xukan: and flow charts?
[07:58] <imbecile> regulate:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55188/
[07:59] <fragged[away]> wolfman2323, it might be an idea to look at Crossover Office, or a raw virtual machine unless somebody can suggest a better option
[07:59] <fragged[away]> nemilar, I KNOW office 2003 MOSTLY works under wine, but from what I've heard access wont
[07:59] <arathald_> not sure why you'd want acess anyways :D
[07:59] <xukun> Flannel, yes flow charts is what I,m going for
[07:59] <wolfman2323> o.. so its useles.. hehehe.. how could i un install?
[07:59] <fragged[away]> arathald_, often small businesses use access,
[08:00] <wolfman2323> ive tried it many time..but.. ms is still in wine..
[08:00] <fragged[away]> which sucks seeing as its targeted at single-user use and often people try to use many computers at once
[08:00] <arathald_> fragged[away]: I wans't being entirely serious, I was making a comment about it :P
[08:00] <badkitty> xukun: DIA
[08:00] <wolfman2323> fragged..how could i uninstall ms office in wine..
[08:01] <badkitty> xukun: http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html Try this.. its a list of alternatives for everything
[08:01] <fragged[away]> speaking of wine, can anybody name a free tool that I can use to verify it works? i dont know much about the windows environment and care nothing for wine, this is for a non-profit organization trying to get them to go linux instead of Windows 98 for computers they give to low-income families
[08:01] <qinjuehang> wolfman2323: If you don't have any other programs you can just delete the .wine folder
[08:01] <fragged[away]> wolfman2323, .wine/Program Files/Office should have it
[08:02] <fragged[away]> think of .wine as being like your C:/ under windows
[08:02] <nemilar> fragged[away]: notepad comes with wine I believe
[08:02] <imbecile> fragged[away]:  im doing the same thing
[08:02] <wolfman2323> i have other program running in wine.
[08:02] <nemilar> fragged[away]: not really sure what you meant by "works"

[08:04] <wolfman2323> brb
[08:04] <badkitty> xukun: SOmeone else mentioned it too so he gets thanked too ;-p

[08:05] <xukun> regulate, Thanks for the tip m8
[08:05] <ackbahr> I tried installing Condor recently, but it didnd't work right and I lost interest in it, but now everytime I use the upgrade manager, it gives me errors with Condor, although I can't apt-get remove it either! How can I get rid of its annoying remains?
[08:05] <fragged[away]> imbecile, mmm so what are you rigging up for this group?
[08:06] <kendrick> hrm, how does one ask ubuntu to grok new locales?
[08:06] <kendrick> on debian, i could do dpkg-reconfigure locales and it'd bring up a menu
[08:06] <kendrick> when i do that on ubuntu, it just starts reprocessing the ones i've already chosen
[08:06] <fragged[away]> I'm not entirely sure how much they will like Linux, its complicated and different, which means that peopole cant buy cheap commercial games etc but its also a lot better than any 98 box these days... I'm still a lil scared by dialup/printer support
[08:06] <qinjuehang> ackbahr: did you try apt-get autoremove
[08:06] <imbecile> fragged[away]:  just getting donated computers and throwing ubuntu on them and giving them to needy people and offering help getting them started
[08:07] <kendrick> why buy games? you can play them all on facebook :)
[08:07] <ackbahr> qinjuehang: Didn't, will tell you about it in a minute....
[08:07] <arathald_> gah!!!  It's a good concept, and very useful, but I can't for the life of me get it working
[08:07] <qinjuehang> kendrick: Ubuntu doesn't have shockwave too...
[08:08] <ackbahr> qinjuehang: Didn't work.... But still tells me "1 partly removed" in the list of things to do!
[08:08] <kendrick> i've never had any problems playing games on facebook using firefox
[08:08] <supershort> hi all
[08:08] <blag> ackbahr: try using System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, clicking on the checkbox next to Condor (you'll probably have to search for it using search) and then click "Completely remove"
[08:08] <supershort> how do i delete stuff from /opt/
[08:08] <qinjuehang> arathald_: I'm looking for someone to test VPN with too
[08:09] <ackbahr> blag: Thanks, will try that
[08:09] <fragged[away]> imbecile, mmm, I'm donating a computer to a group that pass them on so I'm not the middle man :D!... what kind of configuration are you using? I've set up xubuntu on a box and I've set it to automatically log in, made sure hardware works etc and then set up wine, I'm giving them the box and I just want them to play around and see if there interested in using a linux based operating system, any software recommendations?
[08:09] <|katana|> hi.. I want to create a server with 2 HD in raid 1. I got a question though building up my motherboard: There's 4 sata connectors on the MB close to each other
[08:09] <arathald_> qinjuehang: well, im not even setting up a server, im trying to connect to my schools vpn
[08:09] <kendrick> ah
[08:09] <blag> I keep getting a bash syntax error in one of my scripts, "line 439: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' ", anybody want to help?     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55190/

[08:09] <jerns1> hello, I have installed ubuntu on an old pIII laptop and I'm trying to free as much ram as I can. She doesn't need ssh-agent and seahorse-agent to be started everytime ; I cannot find it in the session starting programs. How can I disable it ?
[08:09] <|katana|> and another one close to the pci-express, which reads "sata-raid"
[08:09] <fragged[away]> blag, try #bash or #bash-support or w/e
[08:10] <ackbahr> blag: Looks like it's working!
[08:10] <qinjuehang> arathald_: Ooo I see. I should try that too. I think my school has VPN (thanks for reminding)
[08:10] <bazhang> bod you still around?
[08:10]  * kendrick wanders
[08:10] <|katana|> the manual says if I want to install raid 0/1/JBOD, i'd need to connect a sata-disk to this one and another one to the 'external' SATA port..

[08:10] <Neural_Overload> Hello everyone
[08:10] <supershort> anyone get my question
[08:10] <arathald_> essentially, I live off camput at my Fraternity house and I want my server to behave as though on-campus (there's a good chance just VPNing in will allow my server to have an static, unique, external ip)
[08:10] <qinjuehang> jerns1: sudo apt-get install bum
[08:10] <fragged[away]> jerns1, sshd is not installed on xubuntu nor ubuntu server not sure about everything else, as for freeing ram etc try xfce4 for a good ram:useability DE/WM
[08:10] <arathald_> *campus
[08:10] <blag> fragged[away]: thanks
[08:10] <regulate> imbecile: basically you need those two modules compiled for your kernel
[08:10] <supershort> how do i delete shit from my /opt/ file cos i have lampp and want to delete shit from there
[08:11] <blag> ackbahr: That and Update-manager is what I use.  They're nice.
[08:11]  * fragged[away] shits in supershort's /opt/

[08:11] <gebura> hi
[08:11] <Neural_Overload> I'm having problems installing the x64 version of ubuntu. When I try to start the installer, it just goes to a black screen.
[08:11] <qinjuehang> supershort: Did you try sudoing?
[08:11] <supershort> how do sudo?
[08:11] <imbecile> fragged[away]:  im just giving them a fresh ubuntu install. i suppose i could just have it auto login but i figure it isnt very secure & besides they should know their username & password. its my friends brainchild
[08:12] <supershort> sudo -del?
[08:12] <qinjuehang> Neural_Overload: Try F6 and adding "linux acpi=off"
[08:12] <supershort> im new to linux
[08:12] <jerns1> supershort: sudo rm
[08:12] <fragged[away]> |katana|, from what I hear software raid is better than most mb raids, as for external hdd, there should be an esata on the backplate of your mobo if thats what its talking about, but that seems rather silly to require that
[08:12] <imbecile> regulate: so it IS an issue with ubuntustudio?
[08:12] <jerns1> supershort: man rm
[08:12] <illusionofart> Hi, trying to update to Edgy from 6.06 LTS with the Update Manager and having problems. Running gksu "update-manager -c" from the Terminal and Alt+F2 does nothing. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[08:12] <regulate> imbecile: yes. i bet you can install a -generic kernel tho
[08:13] <qinjuehang> supershort:  Be really careful with sudo rm commands ppl post (this one looks safe)
[08:13] <Yancho> i just plugged in a usb key but got no drive popping on (similar to what does in windows) any idea how I can get it please? this is the result of lshw -C bus http://yancho.pastebin.com/d5d1f863e
[08:13] <badkitty> illusionofart: I think you have to add the repo then do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:13] <imbecile> regulate:  how can i do that?
[08:14] <fragged[away]> supershort, sudo is the administrative command, you can use rm as a stanrdard user to remove things which is also a lot safer (unlike windows, linux will /allow/ you to remove system files)
[08:14] <badkitty> Yancho: Do you know the device name?
[08:14] <jerns1> qinjuehang thanks, but it's nowhere to be found in bum
[08:14] <Yancho> badkitty nope :|
[08:14] <regulate> imbecile: apt-get install linux-image-generic
[08:14] <fragged[away]> Yancho, dmesg | tail, mount /dev/sd* /MOUNTPOINT etc
[08:14] <qinjuehang>  jerns1: I guess its not there then...?
[08:15] <illusionofart> What would be the repo for that one?
[08:15] <jerns1> qinjuehang: ps aux | grep seahorse states otherwise
[08:15] <Neural_Overload> qinjuehang, I'm going to start IRC on my other computer so we can talk and try to work on getting it to display video.
[08:15] <qinjuehang> Neural_Overload: Ok I'm glad to help :)
[08:16] <imbecile> regulate:  i cant say how helpful you have been. you are a really smart guy. thank you very much!
[08:17] <bazhang> imbecile: ubuntustudio? oy, thought you were running ubuntu
[08:17] <sulle> how do i connect to a new irc server?. In that way i am able to be on 2 servers in same irc ?. :P
[08:17] <Yancho> fragged[away] : http://yancho.pastebin.com/d5f20bb70
[08:17] <supershort> hi
[08:18] <imbecile> bazhang:  i installed ubuntustudio packages over an ubuntu install
[08:18] <supershort> has someone used proftpd before?
[08:18] <bazhang> imbecile: well it would be the rt kernel that was the issue then
[08:18] <Overload> qinjuehang, this is Neural_Overload
[08:19] <supershort> ?
[08:19] <razordead> sulle, you should be allowed to connect more than once to the same server
[08:19] <Overload> I'm going to disconnect my other client
[08:19] <jerns1> qinjuehang: I found it in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
[08:19] <Overload> And restart and try with the "linux acpi=off" command
[08:20] <imbecile> regulate:  bazhang: linux-image-generic is already the newest version.The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:  python-qt3 python-sip4
[08:20] <fragged[away]> Yancho, 'mkdir ./temp; mount /dev/sda1 ./temp' or if sda1 will not work, just sda
[08:20] <qinjuehang> jerns1: I'm afraid I don't know what happened then...I never meddled much with services
[08:20] <regulate> imbecile: i bet it all works if you boot into that kernel
[08:20] <Yancho> fragged[away] all in one line?
[08:21] <qinjuehang> fragged[away]: Why do we mount in a hidden folder?
[08:21] <fragged[away]> the ; breaks commands 'ls; ls' will do two ls's
[08:21] <badkitty> fragged[away]: Thats only if his drive is sda1 though
[08:21] <imbecile> regulate:  how do i boot into that kernel now?
[08:21] <fragged[away]> badkitty, his dmesg reports that it is
[08:21] <fragged[away]> I mean, unless he has a 1024mb root and that was displayed in tail
[08:21] <badkitty> fragged[away]: Oh k
[08:21] <imbecile> regulate:  sorry but i didnt get this nick for nothing
[08:21] <regulate> imbecile: reboot. the grub menu should list the -rt kernel
[08:21] <fragged[away]> qinjuehang, bad practice I guess?
[08:22] <regulate> gotta sleep
[08:22] <regulate>  &
[08:22] <qinjuehang>  Overload: Oh sorry, didn't catch that
[08:22] <fragged[away]> Was optusnet mirror permanently removed from sourceforge or just while its down?"
[08:23] <Yancho> fragged[away] : mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[08:23] <fragged[away]> :E are you using a custom kernel or stock?
[08:23] <fragged[away]> and is the flash drive a MP3 player also or just a flash stick?
[08:23] <Overload> qinjuehang: I tried to start the lice cd with the "linux acpi=off" command but I still get a black screen
[08:23] <Overload> live*
[08:24] <qinjuehang> Overload: Is there any error message?
[08:24] <qinjuehang> Overload: Or blinking cursor
[08:24] <Overload> Nothing
[08:24] <Overload> I press enter
[08:24] <qinjuehang> Overload: Try safe graphics mode?
[08:24] <Overload> and then a black screen
[08:24] <Overload> Yeah
[08:24] <Overload> Same thing happens
[08:25] <qinjuehang> Overload: What is your processor
[08:25] <Overload> AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
[08:25] <Yancho> fragged[away] never touched kernel / flash stick
[08:26] <ogre> bazhang:  WOOOOOOOTT!!! its working!
[08:26] <bazhang> ogre nice work! ;]
[08:26] <Overload> I also have an Nvidia 8800GTX graphics card
[08:26] <ogre> bazhang:  now how do i make it so i boot off of generic kernel automatically?
[08:26] <illusionofart> What repo should I add if I'm trying to upgrade to edgy?
[08:27] <bod_> bazhang: hey erm,. im still dead,. but in livecd now,. oh and i have 10 secs of lag,.,.sorry
[08:27] <qinjuehang> Overload: You share your problem with many others ;)
[08:27] <ogre> regulate:  you are the man. thank you
[08:28] <Overload> Cool, I hope that means I can install ubuntu
[08:28] <Overload> :)
[08:28] <bod_> illusionofart: wouldnt edgy be a downgrade?
[08:28] <illusionofart> bod: I'm running 6.06LTS
[08:28] <qinjuehang> Overload: I think you have to use alternate cd.
[08:29] <badkitty> that is edgy isnt it? 6.06?
[08:29] <bazhang> illusionofart: from dapper? you may want to wait a couple of months as there will be a dapper to hardy direct upgrade path both LTS
[08:29] <fragged[away]> Yancho, is it just storage or a MP3 player also?
[08:29] <Yancho> fragged[away] just storage
[08:29] <bod_> illusionofart: oh,.,. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade     i think
[08:29] <badkitty> illusion why not upgrade to gutsy?
[08:30] <fragged[away]> mhm, are you from a Windows background or Mac?
[08:30] <qinjuehang> Overload: And after you install it, boot to recovery mode and run " sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new; sudo nvidia-xconfig", it should work.
[08:30] <bod_> bazhang: are you getting my messages?
[08:30] <qinjuehang>  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[08:30]  * fragged[away] has to get a mac just to learn a little about MacOS : /
[08:30] <qinjuehang>  And I gotta go now, bye.
[08:30] <Yancho> fragged winndows
[08:30] <illusionofart> I'll upgrade to newest one I can but I thought I had to go one at a time
[08:30] <bazhang> bod_: sure :]
[08:30] <Overload> How do I install it though? I haven't gotten past the black screen problem yet
[08:30] <fragged> mhm anybody know if Ubuntu has NTFS-Read support in kernel?
[08:30] <StaticVector> howdy howdy
[08:31] <StaticVector> so you like the ubuntu?
[08:31] <StaticVector> i love the ubuntu
[08:31] <StaticVector> it is the greatest
[08:31] <bod_> bazhang: good good,.,. im using the livecd now,.,. fancy helping?
[08:31] <kandinski> is there any practical difference between Timevault and Flyback?
[08:31] <pawan> hi
[08:31] <StaticVector> oh there is
[08:31] <StaticVector> use the timevault
[08:31] <StaticVector> definitely
[08:31] <StaticVector> it is greatest ever
[08:31] <razordead> fragged, are you running Edgy?... it absolutely has NTFS read support... write as well
[08:31] <kandinski> StaticVector: thanks, and the winning point for it is?
[08:31] <Yancho> fragged its empty .. never used
[08:31] <ethan961> fragged, yes there is, even write support
[08:32] <bazhang> bod_: this is a bit out of my knowledge level, using the live cd you want to rescue some of your files, correct?
[08:32] <mikubuntu> is anybody having trouble with adobe flash 9 since recent updates?
[08:32] <fragged> mhm, I'd recommend using mkfs.vfat but it is a VERY DANGEROUS thing for you to blindly type, ask for another users opinion/help, sorry :(
[08:32] <Yancho> and mine is still 6.06 fragged
[08:32] <illusionofart> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade didn't work. I get errors.
[08:32] <badkitty> illusionofart: what errors?
[08:33] <fragged> ethan961, is that real write support or the 'you cannot rename, delete, move, or do ANYTHING to a file apart from writing to it without changing the filesize'
[08:33] <bod_> bazhang: i would prefer to undo all changes made by installing splashy,.,. can i remove it from here?
[08:33] <illusionofart> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Re source temporarily unavailable)
[08:33] <illusionofart> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/l ib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[08:33] <ethan961> fragged, this is real write support, just like ext3
[08:34] <bod_> illusionofart: youve got apt and synaptic open?
[08:34] <Yancho> fragged i tried to load it on windows .. it loaded .. but i tried to format it on windows it was saying its not working :\
[08:34] <fragged> illusionofart, you have an apt client running, which could include aptitude synaptic or apt, or many toher programs
[08:34] <badkitty> are you currently in synaptic or sources open still?
[08:34] <dookdook> i'm running feisty and have a laptop.  any pointers on how to get an external monitor working?
[08:34] <ethan961> fragged, that was previous now outdated technology. this is ntfs3g, the real full deal
[08:35] <fragged> Yancho, provided you are trying to format it 'mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1' but that is VERY DANGEORUS YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA (And anybody else who blindly types YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ROOT)
[08:35] <pawan> hello
[08:35] <pawan> pawan here
[08:35] <fragged> ethan961, if it were concidered stable it'd be in the kernel tree
[08:35] <ethan961> did someone say rm -rf / ?
[08:35] <joot> no
[08:35] <bod_> no
[08:35] <ogre> hey guys, i have -generic kernel and -rt kernel i automatically boot into -rt but want to boot into -generic. how would I do this?
[08:35] <bod_> dont do that
[08:36] <fragged> but stable and kernel stable are two different things,
[08:36] <Yancho> fragged well it is empty .. i just want to format it so i can start use it :) is it safe if i type it ?
[08:36] <bazhang> bod_: that is not something I am sure about at all as that is a #debian package, and from the unstable branch (sid) at that--rescuing your files should be your first priority until someone can help you do the rest in my opinion
[08:36] <fragged> Yancho, I'd rather somebody else give an opinion as well
[08:36] <fragged> do an entire dmesg and paste it to pastebin
[08:36] <bullgard4> IBM says: "A thread is in some operating systems the smallest unit of operation to be performed in a process." To what operating systems does this pertain? How is that in Linux?
[08:37] <bod_> bazhang: but if i rescue files, i might accidently rescue the file that is causing my system to break,.,.no?
[08:37] <ethan961> fragged, it is considered stable enough to be in the most popular distri, and I have been using it regularly ever since it was in alpha a couple years ago.
[08:37] <fragged> bullgard4, plz stop posting your homework
[08:37] <bazhang> bod_: not a worry there as long as you dont install it next time around
[08:38] <bullgard4> fragged: Is that all that you can contribute to answer the question which I have put?
[08:38] <bod_> bazhang: so i have to do a full reinstall?
[08:38] <bazhang> bullgard4: a bit offtopic here: google multi-threaded for more info on that front
[08:38] <bod_> bazhang: this is irritating how 1 package can ruin my system,. a package recommended on ubuntu forums
[08:38] <Yancho> fragged : http://yancho.no-ip.org/~yancho/dmesg.txt
[08:38] <fragged> bullgard4, yeah, just write on your paper 'fragged said to stop asking IRC my questions :(' its most definately the answer your teacher is looking for anyway
[08:39] <bazhang> bod_: not sure--and by recommended on the forums, well consider the source
[08:39] <bod_> bazhang: what???
[08:39] <zphinx> So if i wanted to enable the expose like effect in compiz in ubuntu 7.10... is there any way to do that?
[08:39] <bazhang> fragged: hes doing it as translation work but yeah offtopic here
[08:39] <bod_> zphinx: what do you mean by expose?
[08:40] <mak>  i restored the packages using the apt on cd software now what i use to install.......
[08:40] <bazhang> zphinx: yes its called scale
[08:40] <zphinx> bod_: using the right top viewport to have windows and applications become miniatures on the desktop.
[08:40] <fragged> Yancho, Ok I'm confident that your flash disk is /dev/sda1, go ahead and format it... just in some cases sda can be a SATA disk, or in an inpropper kernel such as mine, a IDE disk, so if you have no other SATA or USB disks type 'mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1'
[08:40] <zphinx> bazhang: `where can i enable it?
[08:40] <bazhang> zphinx: you need to install ccsm
[08:40] <bod_> zphinx: oh cool
[08:40] <Yancho> fragged my disk is just ide .. so i am safe?

[08:42] <ethan961> fani, you will have to do a sudo passwd
[08:42] <compwiz18> fani: I think pressing ctrl+d
[08:42] <fani> should I've to reinstall it again?
[08:43] <fani> on pressing ctrl+D it is just restarting.
[08:43] <compwiz18> fani: if you can boot into ubuntu normally and then use sudo passwd root to set a root password
[08:43] <fragged> Yancho, once done, pulling the USB out and putting it back in should bring up the folder provided you have a stock install of ubuntu :)
[08:43] <ogre> compwiz18:  well actually what im looking for is the file to edit grub
[08:43] <fani> no I'm unable to boot normally, it is stopping at maintenance.  Is there any way to skip that test?
[08:43] <compwiz18> ogre: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:44] <mak> joot: can you please tell me again i cant find..
[08:44] <ethan961> fani, a sudo passwd will let you set a new root password
[08:44] <compwiz18> ogre: it may be .list, I can never remember
[08:44] <fani> i mean hdd file system check
[08:44] <fragged> ogre, /boot/grub/menu.lst i think
[08:44] <ogre> compwiz18:  fragged: tyvm
[08:44] <bod_> bazhang: would it be safe for me to tar.gz my entire root folder,.,. excludung media and others obviously?
[08:44] <fani> ethan961;  how can I skip the file system check?
[08:44] <compwiz18> bod_: sure
[08:44] <joot> mak,  goto synaptic package manager and mark the package for installation
[08:44] <ethan961> fani, maybe do a e2fsck when chrooted from a live cd
[08:44] <bazhang> bod_: why do that? it seems that is the source of your troubles
[08:45] <fragged> bod_, be sure to find the flag to get permissions to preserve ownership and r/w permissions
[08:45] <joot> mak,  or do sudo apt-get install name
[08:45] <bod_> bazhang: ok,,.so how do i do a backup of just my /home/bod    folder?
[08:45] <bod_> fragged: please explain
[08:46] <fani> ok if nothing works i'll use live cd.  It will be great to know if there is some way to control the fsck like we do in Redhat using interactive mode!

[08:46] <zala> un informazione seria
[08:46] <Blinkiz> I need to batch convert a bunch of openoffice writer documents to PDF. Does it exist a tool for this?
[08:46] <zala> quando ho finito di scaricare i file mi rimangono fermi...........

[08:47] <zala> qualcuno mi sà dare una mano
[08:47] <zala> per favore
[08:47] <compwiz18> zala: this is an english support channel - there are other channels for other languages
[08:47] <ethan961> Blinkiz, yes, built into open office.
[08:47] <fragged> bod_, if you tarred the entire root of a hard drive, untarred it on another and set up grub, you'd run into problems, I cant remember exactly whta I did on a slackware system I think it was a 'chmod 755# /' (<DANGERIOUS) and it screwed my whole system
[08:47] <Yancho> yes ok fragged it came up now by itself :)

[08:50] <fragged> Yancho, no problem, and from experience I know theres not a worse feeling than telling somebody they've lost everything, even when its not your fault (and I tend to be the one to tell people this at work :()
[08:50] <pc108> no

[08:52] <joot> mak,  which package are you trying to reinstall and which repository is it in???
[08:52] <fragged> Roy, that should work, then you have to call another comman to rebuild .wine
[08:52] <Seveas> Amaranth, pc??? from spain --> instaban :)
[08:52] <fragged> I think its winecfg or something
[08:52] <bod_> fragged: does this look right?    -p, --same-permissions, --preserve-permissions              ignore umask when extracting files (the default for root)
[08:52] <Yancho> nfragged : ow can i somehow extend my /home/yancho on it now?
[08:53] <Blinkiz> I need to batch convert a bunch of openoffice writer documents to PDF. Does it exist a tool for this?
[08:53] <Roy> fragged: I tried using that command but I didn't notice any change
[08:53] <fragged> Yancho, why would you want to? that would mean you would require the USB to be plugged all the time, instead try offloading non-essentual files to the USB (IE MP3s etc)
[08:53] <Yancho> yes i want to keep it there :)
[08:54] <Yancho> its a server computer i have .. which im using for my thesis .. but the files got large heh
[08:54] <fragged> Roy, I'm new to wine and I had no .wine dir, after callitg that or something else it seemed to be build and had a few essentual looking applications such as explorer.exe
[08:54] <Matt83> can anyone help me i need to find a ftp client for ubuntu that only makes one connection at a time please pm me the info as chat go's to fast for me

[08:55] <no0tic> zala, vieni su ubuntu-it
[08:55] <zala> nn lo trovo
[08:55] <no0tic> zala, /join #ubuntu-it
[08:55] <fragged> Yancho, I'd still recommend just throwing documents there manually,

[08:56] <Neeku> hi. i want a software to watch sattelite channels online, is there any?

[08:57] <Yancho> ok thanks fragged :) mv is ok ?
[08:57] <fragged> Yancho, or even just cleaning out non-essentual files, if there are other directories on the same partition have a look in them, especially wherever ubuntu keeps its downloaded files
[08:57] <fragged> Yancho, yes
[08:57] <mak> joot: i'm tryinf to install my sql... and which reposotory i  dont know... it is in my apt on iso image...

[08:58] <Matt83> Yah Fragged im just trying to find a debian ftp client that will only make one connection at a time to a server because some hosts are paranoid and if one ftp client connects to many times it bans you
[08:58] <fragged> Good luck on thesis, I start uni next year it sounds scary O.o
[08:59] <Neeku> I found the online broadcastin site for the channel; now how can i save it or record it?
[08:59] <ogre> Neeku:  you mean off yr existing sattelite service?
[08:59] <tvisto> hi all
[08:59] <compwiz18> !hi
[08:59] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:59] <fragged> Matt83, most clients should have an option to only have one connection, if your looking to try them out, bulletproofftpd (A windows program) has settings to only allow one connection per client you can test on that ;)
[08:59] <fragged> Otherwise I'm unsure O.o
[08:59] <tvisto> sorry guys how do i login as root in server (non desktop) environment? what command should i type? thanks alot
[08:59] <compwiz18> tvisto: su

[09:00] <copacabana> elo

[09:02] <Matt83> Yah im aware of bulletproof ftp client. but not sure if that would work with wine
[09:02] <Neeku> ogre: does it broadcast anything for you?
[09:02] <Neeku> my speed isn't fine because of the damaged optical fibers in the indian ocean
[09:03] <puff> Evening... I upgraded my thinkpad t43p to gutsy with compiz & etc.  It's all spiffy, but alt-tab for screen switching gives me a few problems.
[09:04] <puff> Specifically 1) shift-alt-tab to tab in reverse doesn't work.
[09:04] <bod_> how do i cp a dir from terminal?
[09:04] <puff> and every now and then it's like the alt-tab keys get stuck and it just scrolls like crazy through the windows for a few seconds.  Usually I tap alt-tab again a few times and it unsticks.
[09:05] <puff> bod_: I can give you an answer, but your question is too ambiguous to be certain that it will work right.  What are you trying to do?
[09:05] <bbwa> bod_: gui terminal?
[09:05] <M-Nagato> bod_, cp -r (directory) (directory copy)
[09:05] <bazhang> puff: sounds like a mission for #compiz-fusion ;]
[09:05] <Neeku> could someone check this site and tell me if it broadcasts anything please?
[09:05] <Neeku> http://asx.packdeal.com/AndishehTV-DSL.ASX
[09:05] <puff> bazhang: Ah, cool,I will go aask there.
[09:05] <bod_> puff: bbwa, copy a folder with folders in it
[09:06] <bod_> M-Nagato: ty,.il use that,.,. its to copy my /home/bod folder btw

[09:44] <nemilar> lol, oh, I turned off the Version reply in the xchat prefs bod_
[09:44] <bod_> nemilar: it also says    VERSION xchat 2.8.4 Ubuntu
[09:45] <nemilar> grrr I thought I turned it off :(
[09:45] <nemilar> but yeah, that's how it works.
[09:45] <nemilar> err
[09:45] <bod_> nemilar: it doesnt say that your registered?
[09:45] <nemilar> haha
[09:46] <Seveas> :)
[09:46] <Seveas> (now bod_ is completely confused)
[09:46] <nemilar> hahaha yeah I know, that's why it's so funny
[09:46] <MissDjax> question >> I have 7.10, using an ATI x800 with latest drivers, but since then I have some kind of overlay problem when watching movies or TV, the picture flickers black, when I have fullscreen everything is ok tho, any clue ?
[09:46]  * bod_ thinks Seveas is right ;~)
[09:46] <Seveas> MissDjax, did you enable desktop effects?
[09:46] <bod_> am i missing something?
[09:46] <MissDjax> yes I did
[09:47] <Seveas> MissDjax, switch them off and see if the problem persists
[09:47] <bod_> nemilar: ???
[09:47] <MissDjax> hmmm gonna try with a metacity --replace
[09:47] <nemilar> haha, nevermind it bod_
[09:47] <Seveas> bod_, irchelp.org has all kinds of info about how irc works :)
[09:48] <bod_> im so confused,.,. Seveas,.ty so much,.,. im gonna go do some reading
[09:48] <MissDjax> Seveas ya without compiz launched it works, but that's not a solution really :)
[09:48] <moad> what software do you use for webcam use , like when you want to use your webcam to communicate with other people ?
[09:48] <Seveas> MissDjax, no but it makes me point you to #compiz for a solution :)
[09:48] <MissDjax> hehe
[09:48] <nemilar> MissDjax: what app were you using to display video?
[09:48] <Seveas> it's a problem somewhere between compiz and the ati drivers
[09:49] <ezquerro> hi to everybody
[09:49] <MissDjax> nemilar TVtime and xawtv for TV and for video I tried everything, vlc, totem, etc
[09:49] <bazhang> hi ezquerro
[09:49] <ezquerro> i need help configuring evolution
[09:49] <nemilar> I had a problem like that when I was using compiz, I changed the video output module in VLC and found one that worked @ MissDjax
[09:49] <ezquerro> anyone uses it?
[09:50] <MissDjax> nemilar oh, which one ?
[09:50] <nemilar> MissDjax: in VLC - Preferences, select Advanced Options, Video - Output Modules
[09:50] <moad> is there any other program that Amsn where i can use my webcam with ?
[09:50] <ezquerro> i have 3 mai accounts and i want them to have different inbox folders
[09:50] <ezquerro> but i don't know how to do that
[09:51] <nemilar> MissDjax: to be honest, I don't remember.  I disabled compiz a long time ago... when I did that, the output module I had selected no longer worked for me, so I switched back do a different one (trial and error; you have to stop/restart video for each one though)
[09:51] <Seveas> ezquerro, you don't -- unless they are IMAP and not pop3
[09:51] <Seveas> ezquerro, you could create a mailfilter to filter into correct subfolders, but nothing better than that exists in evo
[09:51] <MissDjax> oki
[09:51] <MissDjax> well I gonna ask in #compiz since I like the desktop effects :)
[09:51] <MissDjax> thx for the help
[09:51] <ezquerro> Seveas, ok, i'll try the filters
[09:51] <nemilar> MissDjax: good luck
[09:53] <Thrawn> Hello, i copied all my data to a brandnew backup harddrive. is there a fast and reliable way to test data integrity? like doing all the md5 hashes and compare them?
[09:54] <Bren> Hey hashalotz you still there? If you are I did that thing you showed me and it didn't work.
[09:54] <hashalotz> Bren, what did not work?

[09:55] <Bren> Like I added it to the boot file menu.lst and it said some error I forgot what it said, do you need what the error was?
[09:55] <hashalotz> Bren, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:55] <ezquerro> Seveas, i want evolution to ask me if i want to load the images of html mails
[09:55] <Bren> Ye

[09:55] <bod_> fragged: see    man asoundconf    or     asoundconf --help
[09:55] <bod_> nemilar: are you there?
[09:55] <fragged> cheers
[09:55] <Bren> Done Hash.

[10:01] <meezfoghi> hi all ...
[10:01] <meezfoghi> i have problem with vsftd
[10:01] <meezfoghi> i have problem with vsftpd
[10:02] <meezfoghi> 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
[10:02] <meezfoghi> can anyone help me??
[10:02] <Kuwanger> Well, good news and bad news.  It appears that I figured out the problem.  It seems that if a framebuffer isn't avaialble, usplash will use svgalib.  The only problem is, the svgalib code doesn't support transparency.
[10:02] <Bren> Hash, stupid question but I'm just making sure. goto http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 and where it says boot up withlivecd I restart the PC and load the cd in the start up process right?
[10:03] <Kuwanger> At least, it only supports something called "putboxmask", which presumes that 0 is the transparent color.  So, I hacked usplash to change the transparent color in an image to 0, when a transparent color is used.
[10:04] <Kuwanger> That sort of seemed to work, though my latest test ended up with the monitor turning off. :/
[10:04] <meezfoghi> can anyone help me??
[10:04] <idran2> I have a problem with my pakages: acpid, acpi-support and powermanagement-interface.The dpkg --configure -a produce this report: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55191/ this is in italian lenguage but i can traslate it!
[10:05] <Creationist> How would I go about using K3b to burn an .AVI file to DVD?
[10:07] <meezfoghi> can anyone help me??
[10:07] <DIL> Creationist, fire it up, its intuitive
[10:07] <meezfoghi> i have problem with vsftpd
[10:07] <meezfoghi> 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
[10:07] <Creationist> DIL: Not when it comes to DVD video it isn't.
[10:07] <Fallenou> hi
[10:08] <DIL> Creationist, you dvd burner or rom?
[10:08] <Creationist> DIL: I try to do that and it creates the directory structure for a DVD, but doesn't explain where to put my files or how to convert them to the right format etc.
[10:08] <Creationist> DIL: I have a working DVD burner, but k3b doesn't explain how to make a DVD video.
[10:10] <DIL> Creationist, can you locate the file from the k3b interface
[10:10] <Creationist> DIL: Of course.
[10:11] <DIL> Creationist, so you select it and  ............
[10:11] <DIL> Creationist, what happens
[10:11] <Creationist> DIL: And it throw it onto the DVD image... but what about the audio_ts and video_ts directories.
[10:12] <Creationist> DIL: I've seen actual DVDs before and there has never been one that has .AVI files in the root directory
[10:12] <idran2> I have a problem with my pakages: acpid, acpi-support and powermanagement-interface.The dpkg --configure -a produce this report: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55191/ this is in italian lenguage but i can traslate it!

[10:20] <lollo> hi everyone, when does the new version of ubuntu will come out ?
[10:20] <lollo> and what's the number ? ?
[10:20] <lollo> !rel
[10:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:20] <Chousuke> !hardy
[10:20] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[10:20] <gary4gar> Okay here my question second time :). I installed windows xp yesterday, so it overwrited MBR, now i have booted into Ubuntu 7.10 via live cd & carried the procedure defined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, but its failed in the last step, when it runs emed command twice times( msg was, error but not fatal) , also my dmesg output shows some I/O errors. demsg output ==> http://gary4gar.googlepages.com/dmesg
[10:20] <nemilar> josiah: which CMS?
[10:21] <josiah> nemilar: I have been using joomla and want to find something that blows it out of the park
[10:21] <nemilar> josiah: drupal?
[10:21] <josiah> nah almost the same as joomla :)
[10:21] <josiah> it seems
[10:21] <bert_> hi, I'm having some issues with webcams on MSN using kopete, does anyone here now the ports it uses ?
[10:22] <SegFaultAX> anyone around?
[10:22] <josiah> nemilar: i was looking into webgui... i dont know i just want something that will blow me away
[10:22] <SegFaultAX> i had a quick question if anyone has a moment to spare
[10:22] <bert_> sure, shoot SegFaultAX ;)
[10:23] <SegFaultAX> :D, thanks
[10:23] <SegFaultAX> just wondering if the alternate cd will allow me to do a full install without a live session
[10:23] <nemilar> bert_: google says http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Kopete%20Webcam%20Support&comzone=show
[10:23] <erUSUL> SegFaultAX: yes
[10:23] <DIL_> Creationist,
[10:24] <bert_> SegFaultAX the alternative CD is a non-graphic installer, it doesn't use any kind of liveCD stuff ;)
[10:24] <razordead> meezfoghi: is it possible you're already running another FTP server?
[10:24] <lollo> 1,3 Gb of swap is too much ?
[10:24] <SegFaultAX> will it still allow me to do a deep fdsk and repart?
[10:25] <meezfoghi> razordead: how to i want i have run another ftp server
[10:26] <SegFaultAX> the thing is, i downloaded the live cd, it boots fine but after i select Start or Install Ubuntu
[10:26] <SegFaultAX> it loads, then nothing
[10:26] <lollo> 1,3 Gb of swap is too much ?
[10:26] <nemilar> lollo: not if you have the space to spare :)
[10:26] <SegFaultAX> eventually the cd drive spins down and there is no access on the hdd
[10:26] <erUSUL> SegFaultAX: do the repart and the fsck from a livecd (ubuntu knoppix or whatever)
[10:27] <nemilar> lollo: saying "too much swap" is like saying "too much bottled water in case of an emergency"
[10:27] <DIL_> Creationist, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169825&page=3
[10:27] <meezfoghi> razordead: i not sure
[10:28] <lollo> lol thx .. another thing .. what's the max RAM supported by ubuntu ? ( for xp it's 2Gb )
[10:28] <SegFaultAX> i dont think this old machine im using can handle the livecd
[10:28] <SegFaultAX> it doesnt have much ram
[10:28] <nemilar> lollo: for the 32-bit version, 4GB; anything above that requires the 64bit version
[10:28] <SegFaultAX> so, that is most likely the limiting factor
[10:28] <newbie_00> anyone can help me ? i try ubuntu 7.10 livecd..when get gdm login windows..but i don't know default user and password for ubuntu livecd..anyone can help me please...???
[10:29] <lollo> sry nemi how much is for 64bit ?
[10:29] <geoffthefish> how do i set permissions for future files in a directory?  is there a way to umask one dir only?
[10:29] <razordead> meezfoghi: try this command from a terminal & see if it shows anything that says ftpd... netstat -an | grep LIST | grep 25
[10:30] <stib> A thought just popped into my head. Is there a mac version of Wine? I mean a way of running mac software in linux, like Wine for windows apps.
[10:30] <stib>  It would have to be called Cider I guess..
[10:30] <bazhang> stib: what app
[10:30] <gary4gar> Okay here my question third time :). I installed windows xp yesterday, so it overwrited MBR, now i have booted into Ubuntu 7.10 via live cd & carried the procedure defined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, but its failed in the last step, when it runs emed command twice times( msg was, error but not fatal) , also my dmesg output shows some I/O errors. demsg output ==> http://gary4gar.googlepages.com/dmesg
[10:30] <razordead> meezfoghi: oops, make that... netstat -an | grep LIST | grep 21
[10:31] <stib> razordead: Well, final cut pro on linux would rock my world so hard I'd need hand rails
[10:31] <alexkreuz> is there a way to install windows xp without it overwriting the MBR?
[10:31] <stib> *bazhang not razordead
[10:31] <alexkreuz> so i can keep my grub menu?
[10:31] <idran2> I have a problem with my pakages: acpid, acpi-support and powermanagement-interface.The dpkg --configure -a produce this report: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55191/ this is in italian lenguage but i can traslate it!
[10:31] <lollo> but .. the swap works only if the RAM is full or in other situations ?
