[10:10] <h1st0> vancomycin: so what is the error you are getting and how are you getting it?
[10:10] <orb> marx2k: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx_1%3a1.0.9631+<IP_ADDRESS>-16.29_i386.deb (--unpack):

[10:10] <orb> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[10:10] <masonus> marx2k: let me take a moment to figure out how pastebin works and I will post my copy to it
[10:11] <marx2k> orb: try rm /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx_1%3a1.0.9631+<IP_ADDRESS>-16.29_i386.deb
[10:11] <marx2k> and then try again
[10:12] <stefg> Leon_home: there /are/ examples in the man page of tar... please try harder to understand it :-)
[10:12] <orb> marx2k: it's asking if i want to remove it... yes?
[10:12] <marx2k> Leon_home: tar -xvf <file.tar> <destination>
[10:12] <marx2k> orb: yep
[10:12] <masonus> marx2k: I've pasted it
[10:13] <marx2k> masonus: I dont see the url
[10:13] <h1st0> orokay got a way to fix it.
[10:13] <masonus> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37883/
[10:13] <h1st0> orb: Hold up orb
[10:13] <masonus> <--- very very newb... sorry
[10:13] <orb> marx2k: i did, then i tried installing afgain, same error
[10:13] <orb> h1st0: okay...
[10:13] <h1st0> orb: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
[10:14] <marx2k> well, is your usb drive using reiserfs?
[10:14] <h1st0> orb: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
[10:14] <orb> h1st0: uh it says renaming it involves overwriting with different file, not allowed
[10:14] <masonus> marx2k: I don't think so, I used GNOME partition editor to erase all of the partitions from the drive
[10:14] <h1st0> orb: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libGLcore.so
[10:14] <h1st0> orb: make sure you have sudo in front of those lines
[10:14] <masonus> marx2k: then I ran the installer and told it to use the entire 160gb disk with ext3
[10:14] <orb> h1st0: No diversion `any diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libGLcore.so', none removed
[10:15] <orb> h1st0: yeah i got sudo
[10:15] <masonus> marx2k; I manually set up the partitions
[10:15] <marx2k> orb: id suggest using Envy to reinstall or grabbing it from NVidia directly and running that deb... but people in here would kill me :)
[10:15] <h1st0> orb: okay did the first to libgl.so ones work?
[10:15] <h1st0> marx2k: STOP RECOMENDING ENVY IN HERE
[10:15] <masonus> marx2k: all with the GUI, i'm not that familiar with the command line to do that from the console.
[10:15] <marx2k> h1sto: ITS MY PERSONAL OPINION
[10:15] <orb> h1st0: no the error is Removing `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-new'
[10:15] <orb> dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1' with
[10:15] <orb>   different file `/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa', not allowed
[10:15] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new
[10:16] <vancomycin> ok h1st0 > i am getting this error : when i launch in terminal > sudo gnome-theme-manager , immediately after i get this on the next line : (gnome-theme-manager:12382)  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed . and then the theme manager gui opens and highlights this "Neutronium Gilouche" thing and then in terminal it says : GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL'
[10:16] <vancomycin> failed, see i tried to copy a folder that was in the controls folder of this theme pack called neutronium
[10:16] <marx2k> masonus: thats weird.. it looks like it sisnt do ANYTHING
[10:16] <orb> h1st0: okay done
[10:16] <Flannel> marx2k: Please stick with the official recommendations in this channel.  We try not to break peoples boxes.
[10:16] <h1st0> vancomycin: you shouldn't be launching ngome-theme-manager with sudo
[10:16] <masonus> marx2k: I will kill the installation process, use GNOME partition editor to make set up the partitions and then paste that code again
[10:16] <marx2k> shrug I mention what works for me.. again, ymmv
[10:16] <stefg> !envy | narx2
[10:16] <ubotu> narx2: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:16] <masonus> marx2k: rather the output
[10:16] <ExxonE> got a very special problem with my usb dongle from d-link: I installed ubuntu and everything except this dongle worked just wonderful, but to make this dwl-g122 h/w ver c1 start I have to initiate and then remove GTKwifi from my toolbar. and that's not fun to do each time you start the computer.
[10:17] <h1st0> marx2k: I understand it works for you just don't recomend in here thats all.
[10:17] <orb> h1st0: uh so what now?
[10:17] <marx2k> masonus: hanf on
[10:17] <vancomycin> i just cant seem to remove this neurtronium gilouche / i do see the original /usr/share/gdm/theme flles . h1st0 , i read that command on one of the forum posts :(
[10:17] <masonus> marx2k: ok
[10:17] <h1st0> orb: try the sudo dpkg-divert commands again
[10:17] <marx2k> masonus: let me try to figure out your situation again... your external HD is how large?
[10:17] <h1st0> vancomycin: cant you just launch theme manager from System > Preferences >Themes?
[10:17] <masonus> marx2k: its a maxtor onetouch III 160gb usb external.
[10:17] <orb> h1st0: same problem
[10:18] <tarelerulz> Have any of you run an amd 64  with ubuntu ?
[10:18] <h1st0> orb: okay now use the restricted manager
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: GParted isn't even seeing the drive now.... hmm
[10:18] <marx2k> masonus: and youre in the liveCD right now, right?
[10:18] <marx2k> dude thats weird
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: right
[10:18] <orb> h1st0: OMFG NO IT'S GIVING ME THE ERROR AGAIN OF HAVING TO INSTALL THE MODULE STUFF
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: let me take a minute to figure out what happened
[10:18] <h1st0> orb: yeah that probably got removed when nvidia-glx-new was removed.
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: I'll get right back with you as soon as I Figure it out
[10:18] <marx2k> masonus: yeah, step one is getting it recognized :)
[10:18] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[10:19] <dvs01> i want to use openvpn to create a layer 2 bridge, so that the client machine ends up using one of the server's public ips. how can i do that?
[10:19] <masonus> marx2k: there it is, i was just looking at the wrong drive from Gparted
[10:19] <h1st0> orb: then use it.  The problem was nvidia-glx-new was installed.
[10:19] <Leon_home> if i will login on the terminal with sudo -i , and go to "/media" and make there new directory , does this directory will be accessible for writing ?
[10:19] <vancomycin> h1st0, yes i can - but i just want to get rid of that thing :( / like i said, it's only my 2nd day - not a killer mistake, but you know what i mean - i just want it gone...
[10:19] <orb> h1st0: k done
[10:19] <dialntone> my Desktop Effects,  are glitched out or something, i can't see anything :(
[10:19] <stefg> !vpn | dvs01
[10:19] <ubotu> dvs01: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[10:19] <dialntone> doesn't even do the 3d cube anymore
[10:19] <marx2k> masonus: gparted should give you the /dev/drive designation
[10:19] <h1st0> dialntone: go to #ubuntu-effects for support
[10:19] <orb> h1st0: k i'm in the restricted drivers manager
[10:19] <vancomycin> h1k0, at least i can learn from it and know what to do next time? :)
[10:19] <dialntone> ok
[10:19] <h1st0> orb: give it a whirl now.
[10:19] <dvs01> thanks
[10:19] <marx2k> dialntone: ALT+F2 and type "compiz --replace"
[10:19] <marx2k> unless youre using beryl
[10:19] <orb> h1st0: same error as always :\
[10:19] <masonus> marx2k: it looks like the install "druid" i think its called, set up the partition table on the drive already, thats why we were seeing those partitions
[10:19] <marx2k> in which case "beryl --replace"
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: How is that file getting corrupt
[10:20] <marx2k> masonus: Oh I see.. well, just choose the first partition of the external drive
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: okay now just copy and paste the following lines in a terminal
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
[10:20] <h1st0> sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
[10:20] <h1st0> sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libGLcore.so
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: one at a time
[10:20] <masonus> marx2k: I'll give it a crack and let you know how it goes
[10:20] <masonus> The following operation could not be applied to disk:
[10:20] <masonus> Format /dev/sdb1 as ext3
[10:21] <masonus> is there a size limit to ext3?
[10:21] <h1st0> masonus: no
[10:21] <orb> h1st0: it says it needs a single argument
[10:21] <marx2k> masonus: not that I know of
[10:21] <marx2k> masonus: : perhaps because its mounted
[10:21] <marx2k> use gparted to unmount\
[10:21] <h1st0> orb: is it asking you for an argument or did it proceed?
[10:21] <masonus> marx2k: ok, Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that on the podcast I was listening to earlier.
[10:22] <masonus> marx2k: that ext3 locks the disc when its mounted
[10:22] <orb> h1st0: i'm pretty sure it didn't proceed
[10:22] <marx2k> yep
[10:22] <kahrytan> marx2k, or use umount
[10:22] <h1st0> orb: are you back at a prompt?
[10:22] <marx2k> yeah or use umount
[10:22] <orb> h1st0: yeah
[10:22] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:22] <masonus> marx2k: umount?
[10:22] <kahrytan> !umount
[10:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:22] <orb> h1st0: same problem as always
[10:22] <marx2k> "umount <device>"
[10:22] <masonus> marx2k from the console right?
[10:22] <marx2k> yep
[10:22] <kahrytan> umount /dev/hda1 for example
[10:22] <h1st0> orb: I have no idea what envy did but there are some files that are completely f'd
[10:23] <orb> h1st0: so uh... reformat?
[10:23] <masonus> marx2k: The following operation could not be applied to disk:
[10:23] <masonus> Format /dev/sdb1 as ext3
[10:23] <kahrytan> !envy
[10:23] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:23] <masonus> oops
[10:23] <masonus> wrong paste
[10:23] <masonus> sorry
[10:23] <masonus> umount: sdb1 is not mounted (according to mtab)
[10:23] <h1st0> orb: here is the post where I was getting the fix.  But like ubotu says envy can really bork stuff up http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=517894
[10:23] <h1k0> ok
[10:24] <masonus> marx2k: do I Have to put /dev/sdb1?
[10:24] <h1k0> no problem:)
[10:24] <marx2k> yep
[10:24] <masonus> marx2k: or rather /dev/sdb
[10:24] <orb> h1st0: since I never got this stuff working yet I don't have anything on ubuntu really so I think ill just reformat :\
[10:24] <masonus> marx2:it says that it isn't mounted
[10:24] <marx2k> well thats good at least
[10:25] <marx2k> heh try mounting it
[10:25] <orb> Thanks for everyone's help, Ima go reformat :\
[10:25] <dvs01> http://www.dvs01.net/pics/desktop2.png <-- my ubuntu desktop
[10:25] <masonus> marx2k: should the swap partition be an extended partition or a primary?
[10:25] <h1st0> orb: If you do don't install envy next time.
[10:25] <masonus> marx2k: and what is the difference?
[10:25] <masonus> good luck orb
[10:25] <Leon_home> does it possible to make local user directory on the desktop (/home/user1/database) to be displayed at /media/databases ?
[10:26] <marx2k> masonus:  between mounting and unmounting?
[10:26] <vancomycin> h1st0, i know ur busy man - i'll be back in a few minutes
[10:26] <masonus> marx2k: no, what is the difference between an extended partition and a primary, and which one should the swap partition be?
[10:26] <dvs01> ill explain, masonus
[10:26] <marx2k> i just have all my stuff primary
[10:27] <dvs01> a disk can have 4 primary partitions
[10:27] <dvs01> if you want to have more than 4, one of them has to be an extended partition
[10:27] <dvs01> that acts as a container for multiple partitions within it
[10:27] <dvs01> i think theyre called logical partitions
[10:27] <masonus> dvs01: I see, and since the swap partition is so tiny it doesn't make much sense to give it one of the 4 primary slots
[10:28] <Irreducibilis> Would someone be able to help me with a problem I have with DSL
[10:28] <stefg> !ask
[10:28] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:28] <masonus> dvs01: or does it?
[10:28] <dvs01> masonus: it all depends on how many partitions you are gonna have
[10:28] <dvs01> if the total is 4 or less, then go for it
[10:29] <masonus> dvos01: well, that might change in the future, for this install I am only seeing the need for 2, ubuntu and swap.
[10:29] <dvs01> you also gotta decide what part of the disk you want swap on
[10:29] <masonus> wow, my fingers are failing.
[10:29] <dvs01> the beginning is the fastest
[10:29] <marx2k> on my main hard drive, I have 3 pri partitions... /, /home and a  swap
[10:29] <Irreducibilis> okay
[10:29] <masonus> dvs01: and the swap is used as virtual memory? whats its purpose?
[10:29] <dvs01> yes, swap is virtual memory
[10:29] <Irreducibilis> I am running DSL inside Qemu, inside Windows XP and I am using DAEMON tools to mount a .iso inside windows	What I want to know is if theres a way to use DSL inside qemu to access that .iso which is mounted in windows
[10:29] <stefg> !swap
[10:29] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[10:29] <marx2k> I would suggest keeping a seperate /home partition
[10:29] <masonus> dvs01: what is a good size for swap then if I Have 160gb available?
[10:30] <marx2k> swap should be 1/2 your physical RAM I think
[10:30] <dvs01> its typically ram * 2
[10:30] <marx2k> oh * 2
[10:30] <masonus> I have 2gb of ram
[10:30] <dvs01> make it 4gb then
[10:30] <stefg> masonus: how much ram do you have and do you plan to hibernate thet machine ?
[10:30] <masonus> so 4 gb of swap
[10:30] <masonus> got it
[10:30] <marx2k> I should up my swap :)
[10:30] <dvs01> its recommended to make the swap near the beginning of the drive
[10:30] <masonus> so I'll make 3 parts then, home, ubuntu and 4gb swap
[10:30] <marx2k> by ubuntu you mean "/", right?
[10:31] <masonus> dvs01: yes, root
[10:31] <dvs01> i make /, /home, /var, /tmp sometimes, and swap
[10:31] <stefg> masonus: not to confuse you, but it's good practice to have a separate /boot, too
[10:31] <dvs01> yup
[10:31] <Irreducibilis> *bump*
[10:31] <Irreducibilis> I am running DSL inside Qemu, inside Windows XP and I am using DAEMON tools to mount a .iso inside windows	What I want to know is if theres a way to use DSL inside qemu to access that .iso which is mounted in windows
[10:31] <masonus> /marx2k:dvs01: how can I specify from within GParted where swap is located physically on the disc?
[10:31] <marx2k> masonus: Im GUESSING it'd be the leftmost partition
[10:31] <marx2k> but thats a guess
[10:31] <dvs01> not sure, but typically, its arranged in the order that you add them in
[10:32] <masonus> stefg: care to explain that?
[10:32] <h1st0> masonus: 4gig of swap?
[10:32] <Irreducibilis> If you must know why I am asking here, its because nobody is responding in the damn small linux channel
[10:32] <masonus> stefg: I'm obviously very new to this, hence the 20 questions
[10:32] <SineFat1> Is it just me or have there been relatively a lot of updates recently
[10:32] <masonus> h1st0: thats what I'm going to do based on the advice given so far :)
[10:32] <marx2k> Irreducibilis: I dont kmnow about QEmu, but with VMWare and VirtualBox, they both allow you to specify an ISO as a virtual physical CD
[10:32] <Irreducibilis> Can anyone hear me?!
[10:33] <Irreducibilis> nm.
[10:33] <kalmah> Hi, my sound in ubuntu has a lot of static. What could cause this?
[10:33] <masonus> I'm going to have to do my share of time in this channel answering questions once I Get my stuff straight.
[10:33] <SineFat1> Irreducibilis: no, but i can see what you type
[10:33] <masonus> ha ha ha
[10:33] <h1st0> masonus: realistically you only need a seperate /home that way if you reinstall all your files are still there and settings for the most part.
[10:33] <marx2k> kalmah: bad grounding?
[10:33] <Irreducibilis> But I cant take them with me on a 128mb flash drive ;)
[10:33] <Irreducibilis> I can with Qemu
[10:33] <h1st0> masonus: the other recomendation is more for a server setup with /var etc.. beign seperate.  You should create / /home and /swap
[10:33] <masonus> h1st0: I Understand that concept, I Keep a media partition on my windows install as well for just that reason
[10:33] <h1st0> masonus: for normal desktop use.
[10:33] <kalmah> marx2k: it worked fine in windows, this is a fresh install of ubuntu
[10:34] <h1st0> masonus: but everyone has an opinion on it.
[10:34] <SineFato> Is it just me or have there been relatively a lot of system updates recently
[10:34] <marx2k> kalmah: when does the static occur?
[10:34] <masonus> h1st0: I listened to a podcast earlier today about file systems where some of this was explained, he did touch on that server vs. desktop subject.
[10:34] <kalmah> marx2k: when any sound plays. all i hear is static and a hint of what should be playing
[10:34] <masonus> h1st0: since this is my personal laptop I think I'll go with the '/' swap /home
[10:35] <Janet32766> can anyone tell me why my eth1 static IP keeps changing in 7.04?
[10:35] <marx2k> kalmah: in terminal, type "alsamixer" and try bringing the PCM volume down until the static goes away and bring the  master up
[10:35] <animaletto> ciao
[10:35] <h1st0> Janet32766: is it set for dhcp maybe?
[10:35] <stefg> masonus: it keeps you away from problems if the kernel and the initial ramdisk (the files which get booted first) are within the first 1024 cylinders of the harddisk. To avoid that a kernel gets written waaayyyy back on the drive during an upgrade it's smarter to have a separate /boot partition (like 64 MB) at the begiining of the drive. Recommended layout: 1.) 64 MB /boot 2.) 5 -10 GB /...
[10:35] <stefg> ...(root) 3.) 2,5 G swap 4.) the rest for /home
[10:35] <animaletto> tutto bene?
[10:35] <Janet32766> h1st0: not in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:36] <masonus> i'm going to be AFK a second, then I'll get my hammer and chisel out to work on this external drive
[10:36] <h1st0> Janet32766: hrm... well then it should be static unless network-manager is doing some voodoo on it.
[10:36] <vancomycin> h1st0, i uploaded a screenshot of what i mean , and the thing highlighted in the theme preferences give those errors when launching that gnome-theme-manager - maybe that will help? http://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gnomethemeerroroz2.jpg
[10:36] <masonus> stefg: would you mind putting that recommendation in the pastebin for me?
[10:37] <Janet32766> h1st0: is network-manager installed by default?
[10:37] <kalmah> marx2k: tried that. i still get static when PCM is at 2. Also, master volume doesn't change the sound volume at all for me
[10:37] <kalmah> marx2k: 94% master and 2% master has the same volume
[10:37] <linuxemacs> does anyone successfully install atctive protection system module of thinkpad t60 on ubuntu system?
[10:37] <h1st0> vancomycin: did you try not using sudo
[10:37] <marx2k> kalmah: id play around in alsamixer .. baybe turn the bass down?
[10:37] <marx2k> maybe
[10:37] <stefg> masonus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37886/
[10:38] <masonus> stefg: thank you very much
[10:38] <kalmah> marx2k: it's possible it co uld be because i have 2 sounds cards (onboard and pci), but i have the pci one set to my default card
[10:38] <Irreducibilis> Nobody wants to help me :(
[10:38] <h1st0> vancomycin: you don't need sudo to launch gnome-theme-manager
[10:38] <masonus> all: afk 5 minutes
[10:39] <marx2k> kalmah: perhaps... maybe disable the onboard card in the bios? Though that really shouldnt be the case
[10:39] <marx2k> I have a bit of trouble with static as well in linux when the volume gets high on any audio output
[10:40] <kalmah> what has me confused is no matter what i do with the master volume setting.. the volume stays the same
[10:40] <marx2k> thats pribably because PCM is way down
[10:40] <marx2k> probably
[10:41] <h1st0> vancomycin: if you used sudo to launch it and install the theme.  Then its in /root/.themes
[10:41] <kalmah> yeah i played around with PCM, and it has no effect on volume either
[10:41] <vancomycin> h1st0, i understand, but i'd like to get rid of that neutronium thing there *if possible...
[10:41] <kalmah> Well, if i turn PCM to 0.. there is no volume. that's about it
[10:41] <marx2k> ok i gots to sleep :/
[10:42] <kalmah> but if i set master volume to 0, i still have sound.. lol
[10:42] <marx2k> kalmah: arent there other settings to play with in alsamixer?
[10:42] <marx2k> yeah linux is funnyu that way..same here...at 0 Master VOlume, I still get sound
[10:42] <vancomycin> ok i am going there now h1st0 , yes that was how i initially did this, i didn't go to system>pref>themes like you had mentioned - but i will in the future for sure
[10:42] <masonus> I'm back
[10:42] <masonus> marx2k: thanks for all of your help tonight, its greatly appreciated.
[10:43] <masonus> same goes to anyone else who answered my questions thus far.
[10:43] <vancomycin> :/root/.themes$ ls
[10:43] <vancomycin> Neutronium Gilouche
[10:43] <vancomycin> there it is h1st0 :)
[10:43] <kalmah> i think i fixed it, thanks marx
[10:44] <h1st0> vancomycin: thats why because you used sudo it installe din root.  Don't launch stuff like that from terminal again.  Especially with sudo.
[10:44] <h1st0> vancomycin: Just use the shortcut in System > Preferences from now on that way it gets installed in your users account not roots
[10:44] <vancomycin> now how do i remove that thing h1st0 :) it was in /root/.themes i am in the terminal now
[10:44] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have a problem ...when i try to configure winex i have this error checking for strip... none
[10:45] <SKiZzO87> configure: error: no suitable strip found.
[10:45] <vancomycin> i will do that h1st0 , it was a mistake and i learned from that now... so let's get rid of this thing.
[10:45] <masonus> reiserfs is supposed to be the best for moving small files... should I use RFS or EXT3 for the /boot partition stefg?
[10:45] <SKiZzO87> how i can install strip?
[10:45] <h1st0> vancomycin: sudo rm -rf Nuetr<tab>
[10:45] <h1st0> vancomycin: hit tab to auto compolete the name
[10:46] <V|4d> SKiZzO87: apt-get install strip ?
[10:46] <masonus> stefg: also, with this partition configuration, will the ubuntu installer automatically use the /boot partition instead of creating one under '/'?
[10:46] <SKiZzO87> :) too simply
[10:46] <stefg> masonus: for the /boot i recommend straight ext2 or 3... it's only accessed at system start, so doesn't affect speed. ext2 /3 is easiest to fix so stick with that
[10:46] <V|4d> well try :D
[10:46] <SKiZzO87> it doesn't work
[10:46] <V|4d> hm
[10:46] <SKiZzO87> :)
[10:46] <masonus> stefg: will journaling do anything for me during boot?
[10:47] <Guillem> How can I make evolution junk plugins work with exchange-connector??? It does not filter exchange incoming folder, and If I mark a message as trash, it seems to train the filter but the message disappears (does not go to junk folder).
[10:47] <stefg> masonus: no, if you tell the installer to use a /boot, of course it will set up the system accordingly. and journalling isn't important on 64 MB partition... a fsck won't take long on that
[10:47] <Guillem> ... so I cannot undo....
[10:47] <V|4d> SKiZzO87 apt-get install stripclub ^^
[10:47] <randoman> hey anyone have a quick answer, to why my my computer plays mono vs stereo
[10:48] <masonus> /stefg: fsck?
[10:48] <randoman> and can I edit alsa tof ix this?
[10:48] <Gaidin> hi, a newbie here, how would i get a command to run at startup?
[10:48] <masonus> !fsck
[10:48] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[10:48] <masonus> ahh, ok
[10:48] <SKiZzO87> V|4d, no :)
[10:48] <stefg> masonus: file system consistency check
[10:48] <masonus> stefg: understood, I'm just trying to relate all of the bits and pieces of info I've gathered so far.
[10:48] <masonus> stefg: its starting to come together :)
[10:48] <V|4d> hm i ve installed winex.... but i didn't see this error
[10:49] <V|4d> SKiZzO87 do you install it via WineCvs.sh ?
[10:49] <SKiZzO87> no...
[10:49] <V|4d> it's a simple script which downloads, compiles and installs winex / cedega
[10:49] <SKiZzO87> ok
[10:49] <V|4d> maybe it's the solution for your problem
[10:49] <vancomycin> ok h1st0 it's [the neutrino theme in the gui]  not there anymore :0 but these errors still show up :  laptop:/root/.themes$ sudo gnome-theme-manager (gnome-theme-manager:13734): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed(gnome-theme-manager:13734): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not open file "(null)" is that normal for it to be there? should i ignore it?
[10:50] <masonus> stefg: so should I try to mount the external drive I'm using before I run the installer, or should I let the installer handle that?
[10:50] <stefg> masonus: unplug the external during installation.... (safe is safe :-) ). Deal with it later, gnome will let you acces it
[10:51] <SKiZzO87> V|4d, what profile i must select?
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: but this install is supposed to go on the external.
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: let me describe my goal here.
[10:51] <V|4d> hm... i ve selected cedega
[10:51] <EvaLuaTe> where can i find the network configuration file (where i can set a static IP and stuff like that) ?
[10:51] <V|4d> EvaLuaTe /etc/network/interfaces
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: I want the boot loader and ubuntu on the external, because my laptop can boot from USB.
[10:51] <XsteelWolf> EvaLuaTe /etc/network/interfaces
[10:51] <V|4d> :D
[10:51] <XsteelWolf> lol
[10:51] <SKiZzO87> ok tnx V|4d
[10:51] <stefg> masonus: oh.. i see.... that will give you some trouble, because the Desktop installer will overwrite the MBR of your internal disk
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: that way when it is attached I Get the bootloader, otherwise I want it to boot from windows
[10:52] <masonus> stefg: there is an option on step 7 called advanced...
[10:52] <EvaLuaTe> ok, could someone please point me to a resource on how to configure multiple IP's for a machine please ?
[10:52] <XsteelWolf> networkscripts
[10:52] <XsteelWolf> eth0:0 eth0:1
[10:52] <masonus> stefg: where I can specify which disc to put GRUB on
[10:52] <brophat> When I used live cd  had sound but once I installed ubuntu no sound
[10:52] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, was that for me ?
[10:52] <masonus> stefg: I still haven't figured out how to specify that though, marx2k was telling me to type "/dev/sdb"
[10:52] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> yes
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> V|4d,
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> Enter root Password:
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> su: Authentication failure
[10:53] <V|4d> ya?
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> /etc/networkscripts
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> type ls
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> it's impposible
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> u will see ifcfg-eth0
[10:53] <V|4d> hm
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> cp ifcfg-eth0:0
[10:53] <masonus> stefg: although now that I think about it, is it possible to install ubuntu without grub.
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> then type your second ip inside eth0:0
[10:53] <stefg> masonus: great (i'm not too familiar with the Desktop install).... look at the 'sudo fdisk -l' output to figure out which device is which
[10:54] <XsteelWolf> without touching other configs
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> hmm, ok
[10:54] <Zarcoder_> Eva:copy the eth0 config file,to ifcfg-eth0:0
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> wait
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[10:54] <V|4d> i don't know what the script says :D
[10:54] <V|4d> SKiZzO87: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Cedega+CVS
[10:54] <V|4d> try this
[10:54] <masonus> stefg: because technically if my external has boot order priority, that should still accomplish what I'm aiming for right?
[10:54] <SKiZzO87> ok tnx
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> it says 'networkscripts' no such file or folder
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[10:54] <Zarcoder_> the in the file ifcfg-eth0:0 set the ip address and use the same device name as eth0
[10:54] <XsteelWolf> /etc/networkscripts
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> btw, i have 6.06 server
[10:55] <EvaLuaTe> yes, /etc/networkscripts
[10:55] <XsteelWolf> or find  / -name "ifcfg-eth0"
[10:55] <stefg> masonus: there's no problem in having grub in the MBR of the external to boot ubuntu. I have it that way for my rescue system. it's just a bit stupid to tell the installer what you want
[10:55] <XsteelWolf> and check your directory
[10:55] <EvaLuaTe> didn't return anything
[10:55] <Zarcoder_> find /etc -name "ifcfg-eth0"
[10:55] <masonus> stefg: I see, well then. I'll get myself to step 7 of the install and let you know how it goes
[10:56] <masonus> stefg: thank you for seeing me through on all of this
[10:56] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, the second one didn't return anything wither
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> it's zero
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> not o
[10:57] <EvaLuaTe> s/wither/either/
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> you type that correctly?
[10:57] <EvaLuaTe> yes, i did
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> if not try /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
[10:57] <xukun> is there anything in linux to open Visio files?
[10:57] <Knight_On_White> i have computer with 2 HDD (Disk1-ubuntu, disk2-databases) i just got new computer with 1 HDD of 500g and i want to keep the pattern (order) of the folders & drives (becouse my databases must be located at /media/disk2) does it possible to copy my databases to the new HDD (500g) and make the ubuntu think is in other drive (without creating new partition) ?
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> how it goes?
[10:57] <Zarcoder_> .....it seem to fedora core dir path
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: No such file or directory
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> yea that's centos path
[10:58] <stefg> masonus: so are you straight about your device names now?
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> you sure your on ubuntu?
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> can you do a ls command on /etc
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> yes, it's 6.06 dapper server edition
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> and paste it on pastebin?
[10:58] <brophat> I had sound with live cd but when i installed had no sound
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> brophat
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> lspci
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> check if soundcard is detected
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> i'll have to putty for that
[10:58] <brophat> k
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> as i don't have a GUI on the ubuntu machine
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> brb
[10:59] <EvaLuaTe> !pastebin

[11:00] <marlun> is it alright to rename the Desktop folder in your home directory? I just want it to be called desktop with a small d in the beginning.
[11:00] <hans> hi
[11:00] <brophat> XsteelWolf yes it is detected
[11:00] <XsteelWolf> which dir
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> sorry
[11:01] <stefg> marlun: no, it has to be Desktop (captal D)
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> i thought it was evaluate
[11:01] <masonus> stefg: so far so good, I've got the partitions laid out like we discussed, i'm about to specify which disk gets grub, crossing my fingers
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> brophat,either check your volume is there
[11:01] <marlun> stefg, ok, thanks
[11:01] <GortiZ> hi to all, i've a problem with the suspension of a sony vgn-fe31h, someone could help me?
[11:01] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: here it is: http://www.pastebin.ca/703012
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> if it isn't, probably check if there is any driver issues on ubuntuforums
[11:01] <GortiZ> when I came back from suspend mode the laptop show a black screen with the mouse pointer and nothing else
[11:02] <Zarcoder_> crossing my fingers
[11:02] <brophat> XsteelWolf my volume is there
[11:02] <Zarcoder_> bye bodys
[11:02] <XsteelWolf> can you list me /etc/network ?
[11:02] <compengi> i installed windows after installing feisty i couldn't get the dual boot menu so i followed the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 to install grub but eventually what i ended up with is that i got auto boot to ubuntu and not a dual boot to both OS
[11:02] <masonus> stefg: The ext3 file system creation in partition #4 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed.
[11:02] <Knight_On_White> how i can make this new folder /media/database to be pointed to /home/user/desktop/database ?
[11:02] <brophat> XsteelWolf you want me to do that?
[11:02] <masonus> stefg: what could be causing that?
[11:03] <SlimeyPete> !grub
[11:03] <ubotu> 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
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> umm no

[11:03] <smilzo> smilzo
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> please check your driver problems on ubuntuforums
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> might be a driver issue
[11:03] <stefg> masonus: hmmm... can you pastebin me your 'sudo fdisk -l' output? i need to have a look
[11:03] <vancomycin> hey h1st0 thanks for helping me get rid of that man - those errors still come up on the sudo launch - but is that normal? anyways, i will be using the system>pref>themes... the other one in the gnome theme isn't there anymore though
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> i have issue with my wireless intel 4965agn card as well
[11:03] <masonus> stefg: of course, one moment
[11:03] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: ls /etc/network ?
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> yes
[11:03] <brophat> XsteelWolf does that make sense that it worked on live cd but does not work now?
[11:04] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: http://www.pastebin.ca/703016
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> brophat,yes it does sometimes
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> try sudo apt-get update and upgrade
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> upgrade to latest kernel and see how it goes
[11:05] <EvaLuaTe> me ?
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> no
[11:05] <hans> I am trying to add a SSH connection (through Places->Connect to Server), but once added and I try to open the connection, it just hangs and does nothing for a while and then goes "Could not open location<EMAIL_ADDRESS>however, when I do "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>from the terminal, it works just fine. I'd like to track the cause down and maybe file a bug (I'm using Gutsy Ribbon Tribe 5) but am not sure where I can begin to look. can anyone give
[11:05] <hans>  me a hint?
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> refering to brophat
[11:05] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, ok :P
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> as for evaluate
[11:05] <Knight_On_White> how i can make this new folder /media/database to be pointed to /home/user/desktop/database ?
[11:05] <brophat> ok thanks
[11:05] <compengi> SlimeyPete, as i have wrote i followed that link so things had changed in menu.list and i didn't get dual boot
[11:05] <masonus> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37888/
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> I think ubuntu is using /etc/network/interfaces
[11:05] <stefg> k
[11:06] <XsteelWolf> to control its eth ip
[11:06] <XsteelWolf> ifconfig-eth0 seems to be only on redhat base
[11:06] <EvaLuaTe> yes, but could i connect through multiple IP's through a router ? or will i have to connect my computer directly to the modem ?
[11:06] <hans> it actually says "Timeout Reached" in the same error, but connectivity should be fine since I can connect just fine from a terminal
[11:06] <EvaLuaTe> i have a optic fiber connection btw
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> iface eth0 init static
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> address <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> network ???
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> broadcast ???
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> gateway ???
[11:07] <hans> I don't have any proxy configured
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> just add more iface eth0:0 etc
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> to save it inside interfaces
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> and then do a networking restart
[11:07] <stefg> masonus: actually that looks alright.... maybe it was just a bogus error. you can verify by 'sudo umount /dev/sdb4 && sudo fsck /dev/sdb4' .
[11:07] <hmhowie> xukun: what's a visio file?
[11:07] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, and would i have to set eth0:1 eth0:2 and so on for each IP, and leave everything the same just change the IP ?
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> Exactly
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> eth0 means is the same port
[11:08] <EvaLuaTe> ok :)
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> if your going to use another ethernet port
[11:08] <EvaLuaTe> brb
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> change it to eth1
[11:08] <xukun> hmhowie, that would microsoft Visio
[11:08] <EvaLuaTe> no, it'll be the same ethernet card
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> then it will be eth0:0 0:1 and so on
[11:08] <masonus> stefg: sudo gives me root privilege, umount unmounts drives && is a logical operator? then I'm checking the filesystem of sdb4?
[11:08] <hmhowie> xukun: never heard of it :) what does it do?
[11:08] <bulmer> Evaluate there are two ways to assign ip addresses to a nic card, use of ifconfig and ip (iproute2)
[11:08] <masonus> stefg: I Just want to make sure I'm understanding what I'm typing
[11:08] <stefg> masonus: right... isee you get hang of it :-)
[11:09] <xukun> hmhowie, never mind
[11:09] <eso3> hola
[11:09] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, would it work to connect through a router through multiple IP's by configuraing the /etc/network/interfaces ?
[11:10] <eso3> hola a todo
[11:10] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe:  yes
[11:10] <EvaLuaTe> i mean, wouldn't my router translate all the IP addresses to the one it's set to ?
[11:11] <masonus> hello eso
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> it will through switch as well
[11:11] <masonus> stefg: umount: /dev/sdb4 is not mounted (according to mtab)
[11:11] <NemesisD> anyone know how i'd go about burning a cd with WMA files? serpentine doesn't seem to be able to handle that format
[11:11] <rafael__> hello ... someone here uses screenlets ?  i just installed and i dont have the screenlets-tray
[11:11] <EvaLuaTe> because i set the rotuer to use a static IP address, the main one
[11:11] <bulmer> Evaluate no it would not
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> external
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> or internal
[11:11] <rafael__> i think its a new version of screenlets..  is it ?
[11:11] <EvaLuaTe> and now i got a /28 class
[11:11] <stefg> masonus: ok, so then just 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb4'
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> would be fine
[11:11] <EvaLuaTe> well, i think it's external
[11:11] <paulowsky_> hey, anybody experiencing problems with apt synaptic package updates?
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> static IP address for external should only be one
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> unless your using a switch
[11:12] <EvaLuaTe> but the router uses NAT, which, afaik, means Network Address Translation, wouldn't that interfere with the /etc/network/interfaces settings ?
[11:12] <paulowsky_> they seem to be failing
[11:12] <masonus> stefg: fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb4
[11:12] <rafael__> my screenlets is not loading that widget to show the sys info..  user name and these thins.. someone have the version 0.0.10-3 of screenlets installed?
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> no it wouldnt
[11:12] <masonus> stefg: it told me that it was having some issue with a 'Superblock'
[11:12] <EvaLuaTe> ok, cool =)
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> if it allows translation,router would be able to take care of it
[11:13] <EvaLuaTe> thanks alot guys :)
[11:13] <XsteelWolf> your welcome
[11:13] <EvaLuaTe> IOU :D
[11:13] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, one more question :)
[11:13] <masonus> stefg: i'm starting to wonder if this hard drive has some physical problems with it.  is there a way to perform a low level format from Gparted or the command line?
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> shoot
[11:14] <EvaLuaTe> how were the settings again ? network first address, broadcast last and gateway second ?
[11:14] <stefg> masonus: ok,  so the partition is there, but isn't formatted yet. i'm not sure if the installer will correct that. Try formatting it manually 'sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb4'
[11:14] <EvaLuaTe> do i racall correctly ?
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> iface eth0 init static
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> address <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> network ???
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> broadcast ???
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> gateway ???
[11:14] <EvaLuaTe> recall*
[11:15] <XsteelWolf> just change accordingly
[11:15] <XsteelWolf> not following this sample config though
[11:15] <masonus> stefg: it says the device doesn't exist yet
[11:15] <Otaimerz> hye.. why my livecd can install in another pc.. not to my pc
[11:15] <XsteelWolf> just replace to whatever you have to do
[11:15] <masonus> stefg: I'm going to try making all of my partitions from the command line
[11:15] <Otaimerz> when i install in my pc it say system halted after loading linux kernel
[11:15] <stefg> masonus: that's waht i'd recoomed, too
[11:15] <stefg> bahh.... typing
[11:15] <masonus> stefg: can you walk me through mounting the external?
[11:15] <Leon_home> how i can delete a folder in the terminal ?
[11:16] <paulowsky_> i can't seem to do package updates.
[11:16] <bulmer> Evaluate: ip addr add <IP_ADDRESS>/8 dev eth0 brd+; ip addr <IP_ADDRESS>/16 dev eth0 brd+; ip addr add <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth0 brd+  and you'll see your eth0 will have 3 addresses
[11:16] <EvaLuaTe> yeah, but for example, if i got a <IP_ADDRESS>/28 class, what would be the network/broadcast/gateway addresses ? <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> resepctively ?
[11:16] <paulowsky_> anybody with a similar problem?
[11:16] <stefg> masonus: get a root shell by sudo -s and type cfdisk
[11:16] <trpr> Leon_home: rm -r
[11:16] <compengi> gnomefreak, hi
[11:17] <stefg> masonus: get a root shell by sudo -s and type cfdisk /dev/sdb rather
[11:17] <masonus> stefg: I think this live disc defaults to shell since the disc is readonly
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> not sure about that,i took ccna years ago
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> lol
[11:17] <Lemming> Hi, last night I apt-get installed jackd
[11:17] <EvaLuaTe> heh :)
[11:17] <Lemming> since then I've had no sound
[11:17] <masonus> stefg: nevermind, it was user "ubuntu"
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> there should be a network calculator to calculate it classes
[11:17] <masonus> stefg: i'm in a root shell now
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> just google for it
[11:17] <Lemming> and I need help restoring it back to what it was
[11:17] <bulmer> Evaluate do not use 127.127.x.x as sample, those will not work..use a valid routeable ones
[11:17] <stefg> masonus: cfdisk /dev/sdb
[11:17] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, i just gave you an example
[11:18] <compengi> Seveas, hi
[11:18] <bulmer> Evaluate did you get what i said about 127.x.x.x ?
[11:18] <masonus> stefg: ok, now I see a screen that shows all of the partitions that were already made by the installer
[11:18] <masonus> stefg: but I think that was just put into the partition table, I don't think it actually formatted the disk.
[11:18] <EvaLuaTe> ok, my class is actually: <IP_ADDRESS>/28
[11:18] <stefg> masonus: yes, but we are not going to trust them. i'd say: dlete them all
[11:19] <EvaLuaTe> and the primary IP is: <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:19] <masonus> sterg: ok and then make them again, got it
[11:20] <bulmer> Evaluate if you are using iproute2 "ip" the only way you get a primary is if they are on same subnet and same mask
[11:20] <EvaLuaTe> well, i don't know actually, this is what my ISP told me, that this class is routed to the primary IP
[11:20] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[11:20] <masonus> stefg; when I try to write the new table it gives me this WroNo primary partitions are marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this.e.
[11:21] <stefg> masonus: not important... just a warning
[11:22] <stefg> masonus: so have you already made the new partitions, or were you just deleting the old ones?
[11:22] <adac>  i want to start a jar in linux. All works fine but at the point in the program where other jar libraries are needed (additional ones) it gives me a NoClassDefFoundError. So my question is: do i have to set additional path in linux for those extra jar files?
[11:22] <masonus> sterg: i'm setting up the new partitions now
[11:22] <masonus> stefg*
[11:22] <stefg> got you, masonus
[11:23] <Otaimerz> hye.. why my livecd can install in another pc.. not to my pc/
[11:23] <Otaimerz> when i install in my pc it say system halted after loading linux kernel
[11:23] <bulmer> adac yes, have them include on the $CLASSPATH
[11:24] <boghog> hi. I have a gentoo machine and an ubuntu machine. both run the openssh server. both can ssh to eachother (from a terminal), however, I can't seem to connect to the gentoo machine through nautilus using the sftp:// (and ssh://) protocol, and vice versa, from ubuntu -> gentoo I get a timeout (which makes no sense to me because connectivity is good - i can connect to it from the terminal after all) and the other way around (gentoo -> ubu
[11:24] <boghog> ntu) I get "cannot display sftp:// etc.". I'm running Gutry Ribbon Tribe 5
[11:24] <masonus> stefg; which option is ext2 for type?
[11:24] <jgonzalez> hi there, does Synaptic take care of dependencies the way aptitude does? I mean, I think that when I uninstall a package I've installed using Synaptics its dependencies are left installed
[11:25] <stefg> masonus: all partitions need to be type 83, except sdb3 /swap) which needs type 82
[11:25] <DrOwl17> hellowl
[11:25] <boghog> also, both machines can open ssh://localhost  / sftp://localhost, so sftp should be working
[11:25] <masonus> stefg: ok
[11:25] <frojnd> ok guys.. I got extra monitor witch isn't LCD. How can I use this monitor as extended monitor?
[11:26] <frojnd> which*
[11:26] <boghog> other protocols like smb:// and ftp:// work
[11:26] <Strangelv> "Has anyone heard of TTY consoles locking up the machine when used?  This is combined with long pauses with the installer for Edgy Eft AMD62, Gutsy Tribe 3, and the snapshots for Ubuntu and Kubuntu from the 18th.  I have not reproduced this with Knoppix 4.0 or Libranet 2.7, two other Debian based distros I had handy (albeit 32 bit, not 64 -- may need a non-Ubuntu 64 and a 32 bit Ubuntu to test)
[11:26] <luk3> hi is anyone in here familiar with poptop and pptpd?
[11:27] <adac> bulmer: jsut to include the directory or every single jar file?
[11:27] <adac> *just
[11:27] <luk3> i have a slight routing issue
[11:27] <luk3> i can connect to my server from the outside and ping my machines but i cannot access a web server that i have set up
[11:28] <masonus> stefg: almost done, should I tag one of them as bootable?
[11:28] <DrOwl17> i just  rebooted my box after doing updates, now my terminal text size is about 1 micron
[11:28] <stefg> masonus: yeah, , sdb1
[11:28] <bulmer> adac: try it, if not, include the jar file on the CLASSPATH
[11:28] <DrOwl17> im using the bata version is it geeny or some such thing
[11:28] <masonus> stefg: lol, I Should have figured that out. he he he
[11:28] <adac> bulmer: ok thx!
[11:29] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have lost this file usr/bin/strip...how i can repair?
[11:29] <bk__> Hi. I am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 and was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues torrenting using this dist?
[11:29] <EvaLuaTe> how do i restart networking ?
[11:29] <aria> halo
[11:29] <compengi> i installed windows after installing feisty i couldn't get the dual boot menu so i followed the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 to install grub but eventually what i ended up with is that i got auto boot to ubuntu and not a dual boot to both OS
[11:29] <masonus> stefg: it told me that it wrote the table, the the reread failed and that I should reboot to update the table
[11:29] <bk__> I am using rtorrent 0.7.6 / libtorrent 0.11.6, I am directly connected to the internet with no routers infront of me.
[11:29] <Strangelv> EvaLuaTe: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:30] <Tech-Mike> sup peeps...need some help with a usb wireless adapter ... i know this might not be the channel for that but im also in #ndiswrapper trying to get help, now my prob...
[11:30] <Strangelv> EvaLuaTe: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:30] <Tech-Mike> ndiswrapper installed my driver, but iwconfig doesnt display my device
[11:30] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have lost this file usr/bin/strip...how i can repair?
[11:30] <stefg> masonus: so if cfdisk succeded you have /unformatted/ partitions now. You can present this to the installer, just make chure to check the format boxes. the error shouldn't be a problem, but you could reboot if you want to be safe
[11:30] <masonus> stefg: let me try the installer first
[11:30] <EvaLuaTe> ok, thanks Strangelv :)
[11:31] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have lost this file usr/bin/strip...how i can repair?
[11:31] <stefg> masonus: ha... better idea... unmount all disk, unplug the disk and relug it in.. /Then/ start the installer
[11:31] <Tech-Mike> ...any takers?
[11:32] <masonus> /stefg: how do I Unmount all disks?
[11:32] <Le^stat> is there a command for installing a .tar.gz?
[11:32] <bulmer> SKiZzO87: umm you may have to re-install binutils? or find it on the liveCD rom?
[11:32] <Le^stat> <--newvie
[11:33] <stefg> masonus: sudo umount -a ... will give some 'unable,,,' messages but that's fine
[11:33] <SlimeyPete> Le^stat: it's a package of files, a bit like a zip file
[11:33] <Le^stat> i know how to install a .deb
[11:33] <SlimeyPete> Le^stat: extract the files using "tar -xvzf tarfile.tar.gz"
[11:33] <Le^stat> is it the same?
[11:33] <SlimeyPete> then read the README or INSTALL file
[11:34] <Le^stat> ok
[11:34] <serine> why nvidia drivers aren't installed by default on gutsy tribe 5 live cd? if I install them I need to restart to take an effect but since this is live cd I'm not able to test compiz-fusion without installing
[11:34] <Tech-Mike> can anybody help with installing a usb wireless adapter?
[11:34] <SlimeyPete> Le^stat: no. tar files are "dumber" - they're more like ZIPs, just collections of files all wrapped up in one big file.
[11:34] <SKiZzO87> tnx bulmer
[11:34] <masonus> stefg: I did that but when I plugged the disk back in ubuntu found the old file system
[11:35] <stefg> masonus: i see... anyway. try if the installer manages this, if not you have to reboot
[11:36] <Le^stat> there is no install file
[11:36] <Le^stat> only a makefile and a install.sh
[11:36] <masonus> stefg: ok
[11:36] <EvaLuaTe> ok, is there a way to test if eth0:1, eth0:2 and so on are working properly ?
[11:36] <stefg> masonus: actually i think you should reboot now
[11:37] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: i've never seen eth0:1, eth0:2 etc. do you have a network card with multiple ports?
[11:37] <EvaLuaTe> huh ?
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> i've been told to edit /etc/network/interfaces like that
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> because i got multiple IP's for my connection
[11:38] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: on the computers i've used, the network cards are numbered eth0, eth1 ...
[11:38] <masonus> stefg: my mount points should be /boot, /, swap, /home
[11:38] <masonus> stefg: right?
[11:38] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: oh, okay. that would make sense :)
[11:38] <stefg> masonus: /boot , / , swap , /home
[11:39] <masonus> stefg: got it
[11:39] <bulmer> hmhowie if he was using ifconfig  he can have an alias such as eth0:1  if he uses iproute2 ip a nic card can have as many ip as it can
[11:39] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, "sudo ethtool eth0"
[11:39] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: try ping with the -I option
[11:39] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, that will tell if you get a link at least
[11:39] <Le^stat> so how do i install a vga driver file if there is no install.txt
[11:40] <Le^stat> in the tar.gz
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[11:40] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: so ping www.google.com -I eth0:1
[11:40] <masonus> stefg: so far so good, last time I forgot to check the format box :)
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> HOT
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> IT WORKS
[11:40] <masonus> stefg: I Think that has been the '/' of all of my problems
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> wow, this is so cool =)
[11:41] <EvaLuaTe> i can't believe it actually works :)
[11:41] <hmhowie> bulmer: oh, okay :)
[11:41] <stefg> masonus: hehe .... but we have another catch to discuss while the installer is working...
[11:41] <masonus> stefg: whats that?
[11:41] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: networking under linux is really advanced. i know the solaris and *bsd freaks always say how linux is horrible, but i'd like to see their operating systems do what linux can to a network packet :)
[11:42] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[11:42] <stefg> masonus: your device numbers for grub will change, depending on what disk you boot from. so now it's seen as (hd1,0) by grub, but when you boot from it, most bios'es will make the external (hd0)...
[11:43] <masonus> stefg: son of a bitch... lol, I told it to set GRUB to boot from /dev/sdc1
[11:43] <masonus> stefg: because it renamed my drive to sdc when I plugged it back in
[11:43] <masonus> stefg: so you think it will be pointing to a drive that doesn't exist thanks to my bios?
[11:44] <stefg> masonus: that's fine for now.... but you have to revise /boot/grub/menu.lst on the newly installed system before you reboot to it
[11:44] <masonus> stefg: ok, its about 50% on the install, i'll let you know when it finishes
[11:45] <karol> siema
[11:45] <bk__> what is a good way to log all outgoing/incoming tcp/udp connections?
[11:45] <frojnd1> ok guys is it possible to change what is primary monitor and what is extened monitor right/left or do I have to grab monitor and put it on the left by hand ?
[11:45] <bk__> and if there are any errors?
[11:45] <masonus> stefg: my list is so long of things to do. ubuntu did not recognize my native resolution on this laptop so i'll need to install the restricted drivers I think
[11:45] <masonus> stefg: it doesn't recognize my sound card, or my atheros WIFI card
[11:46] <kalmah> masonus: toshiba laptop?
[11:46] <ghatak> Hi, i installed apache2, but it wont start. when i do /etc/init.d/apache2 start. nothing happens and no errors in errorlog
[11:46] <Jowi> frojnd, you can do that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:46] <masonus> stefg: these are all things I want to try to fix after I log into the external drive's new OS
[11:46] <ghatak> what is wrong ?
[11:46] <stefg> masonus: that's all manageable....
[11:46] <masonus> kalmah: acer 3680-2682
[11:47] <bulmer> bk__ you can use iptables ip_conntrack to track them all, so your iptables have to then pass it on to some log files
[11:47] <kalmah> they are easy problems to fix, a little google work and my laptop works fine
[11:47] <masonus> stefg: i'm glad to hear it, I just finished playing around with SLED 10 which I Got in the linux pro magazine.
[11:47] <masonus> stefg: it recognized more than ubuntu has, but I want to use Ubuntu.
[11:48] <Jowi> frojnd, for example you can set screen 0 to be left of screen 1. see here (bottom of page) http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/howto/Set+Up+Dual+Monitors+-+xorg.conf
[11:48] <masonus> stefg: I'm piecing together an ubuntu machine one part at a time using the compatibility listings in the ubuntu forums
[11:48] <masonus> stefg: that will be a desktop machine, but its going to be quite a while before its finished
[11:49] <stefg> masonus: make sure to get a nvidia card for it... ati sucks bad in its current stat of drivers
[11:49] <masonus> stefg: until then, I Have to make this laptop satisfy my linux needs
[11:49] <masonus> stefg: I did
[11:50] <masonus> stefg: do you know if there is support for SLI with ubuntu?
[11:50] <masonus> stefg: the card I bought is SLI ready
[11:50] <stefg> masonus: nvidia has it, don't know about ati
[11:50] <masonus> stefg: so is the ASUS Motherboard
[11:51] <masonus> stefg: well, I WOn't be buying a 2nd graphics card anytime soon, so thats a fish to catch another day
[11:51] <masonus> stefg; 76% done,.
[11:51] <tarelerulz> I had friend that  up graded his computer and give me the old one . It is still way better then what I have it has a amd 64  and  one gb of ram and I don't know the video card ,but I saw him run doom 3 on it .
[11:52] <Strangelv> :: will settle for Kubuntu running stabily on his new notebook, but this is an increasingly iffy-looking proposation
[11:52] <Le^stat> do i have to install "tar" in feisty?
[11:52] <kalmah> tarelerulz: lspci
[11:52] <masonus> stefg: now I am waiting for it to download various packages.
[11:52] <Le^stat> ~/install$ tar zxvf i915Graphics.tar.gz
[11:52] <Le^stat> tar: invalid option --
[11:52] <Le^stat> Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
[11:53] <rafael__> hello
[11:53] <doctorow> I have a lenovo X60 running Feisty. I've plugged an external LCD into it and it's come up as a mirror of my internal screen. Is there a way to us the external monitor as a "second display" with different windows, etc, from the internal? Thanks.
[11:53] <Strangelv> "Hello

[11:54] <benzs_s> hey, when i try to upgrade (sudo apt-get upgrade) i get the following packages that need to be upgraded but... aren't being upgraded: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37890/
[11:54] <rafael__> Strangelv, yes.. gnome
[11:54] <benzs_s> does anyone have any idea what's going on
[11:54] <rafael__> sorry. my mistake
[11:54] <kalmah> Yeah, that's it tarelerulz
[11:54] <tarelerulz> Kalmah is that any good ?
[11:55] <masonus> stefg: stuck at 83% downloading packages.
[11:55] <rafael__> :(
[11:55] <Jowi> benzs_s, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:55] <stefg> masonus: the mirrot bight suffer heavy load
[11:55] <kalmah> If the GPU is able to handle doom 3, it should be fine ;p
[11:55] <stefg> masonus: the mirror might suffer heavy load
[11:55] <masonus> stefg: its no problem, if the packages time out I'm sure there will be a way to for me to download them later.
[11:56] <stefg> masonus: just give it some more time
[11:56] <tarelerulz> Kalmah , I don't think I am going to be playing doom 3 anytime soon ,but it would nice to know I could .
[11:56] <masonus> stefg: no problem
[11:56] <masonus> stefg: I'm gooing to make some coffee, I'll be afk a few minutes
[11:56] <stefg> good idea
[11:56] <kalmah> Just saying, if it's able to run Doom 3, it should be a decent card at least
[11:57] <masonus> stefg: he he he, its 3;00 here.
[11:58] <Novocaine_> hello. I'm trying to get my USB ADSL modem working under ubuntu. I'm using eciadsl (which supports my device) and rp-pppoe. everything including synching appears to work fine, but I don't get any answers to the ConfReq's pppd sends and I get an LCP timeout. (modem: zyxel prestige 630-41 globespan chipset, provider: sunrise)
[11:58] <masonus> wow, lots of people being dropped
[11:58] <Novocaine_> been trying to get this to work for two days now and some people apparently have gotten it to work according to some forums...
[11:59] <tarelerulz> I have been have such fun with Ubuntu installing it on my computer and getting it to work .  The emachine , laptop and now this computer .
[11:59] <masonus> is there anyway for me to turn off system messages in gaim?
[11:59] <masonus> for this IRC chat
[11:59] <stefg> Novocaine_: MTU( settings ?
[11:59] <masonus> I don't wanna see the server messages telling me about people joining and quitting
[11:59] <MeRodent> masonus, not sure about gaim but xChat can do it.
[12:00] <Novocaine_> tried without mtu and with mtu=1432.
[12:00] <masonus> MeRodent: I'd use it, but I'm currently in the middle of an install on the livecd
[12:00] <stefg> masonus: gaim sucks as IRC client... xchat ... chatzilla
[12:00] <kalmah> i like bitchx
[12:00] <masonus> stefg: I agree wholeheartedly
[12:00] <masonus> stefg: I use xchat in vista as well
[12:01] <slapfaceware> what server runs on port 34
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: I hope I will be able to kick windows eventually
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: but its hard because I Want to become a developer
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: hard to make money if you don't know windows developement
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: I hope that the .net 3.0 framework gets completely implemented for linux
[12:02] <masonus> stefg: that would give me a lot of breathing room
[12:02] <kalmah> masonus: if you want it bad enough, you can make money doing anything you want ;p
[12:02] <stefg> masonus: there are gaim plugins, though which can make it suck a bit less. but still no match for xchat
[12:02] <ryaren> How can I mount a winchester with read and write access by my hand?
[12:02] <masonus> stefg: :)
[12:02] <ryaren> What is tha correct option?
[12:02] <Jowi> slapfaceware, "sudo lsof -i tcp:34" then look up the PID with "ps -fg PID"
[12:02] <masonus> ryaren: load a few rounds and pull the trigger
[12:02] <masonus> :P
[12:02] <stefg> lol
[12:02] <ryaren> very funny
[12:02] <wazzzzzap> hi guys, under ubuntu feisty fawn i want to execute : copy /b boot.bin + kernel.bin osimage.img      but than it tells me : copy command not found...so have anyone a idea what packages I have to install or that it is maybe some other command in ubuntu?
[12:02] <Jowi> slapfaceware, for example. there are probably other ways as well :)
[12:03] <MeRodent> wazzzzzap, cp
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: installation complete
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: I Have 2 tests, boot with external attached and detached
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: I'll be back within 10 minutes or so
[12:03] <stefg> masonus: wait!
[12:03] <masonus> stefG: hopefully in my newly installed OS
[12:03] <stefg> masonus: wait!
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: lol thats right
[12:03] <stefg> masonus: wait!
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: have to fix the conf file first
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: <-- awaiting input
[12:03] <wazzzzzap> oh i forgot merodent..your right *bumping head against table* i have worked to much with windows ..thx ^^

[12:04] <Jowi> !commands | wazzzzzap
[12:04] <ubotu> wazzzzzap: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).   How do I find the owner of a disk partition?
[12:04] <wazzzzzap> thx jowi :)
[12:04] <Jowi> wazzzzzap, no probs. very good to start on that link.
[12:04] <stefg> masonus: get back to terminal, and just enter 'mount'. is the external still mounted ?
[12:05] <masonus> stefg: I'm not sure how to read the output
[12:06] <masonus> stefg: let me pastebin it
[12:06] <masonus> !pastebin
[12:06] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:06] <damian> hi
[12:07] <masonus> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37891/
[12:07] <damian> just curious about a compile error i havent seen before
[12:07] <damian> configure: error: *** QTDIR must be defined,
[12:08] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> I just finished running the text installer, and it never asked me for a root password. What is the default root PW?
[12:08] <masonus> damian: what kind of compiler?
[12:08] <Jowi> !root | jack_jimmy_jeffr
[12:08] <ubotu> jack_jimmy_jeffr: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[12:08] <stefg> masonus: ok, so 'sudo -s' for a root termina
[12:08] <damian> gcc c++
[12:08] <damian> is qt installed by default?
[12:09] <masonus> damian: could be that QTDIR Is a variable that was used without being declared
[12:09] <ryaren> How can I mount a winchester with read and write access by my hand?
[12:09] <stefg> masonus: so the external is /dev/sdc now?
[12:09] <paulowsky_> some synaptic package updates are failing on ubuntu feisty, anybody notice?
[12:09] <masonus> stefg; yes
[12:09] <stefg> masonus: mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
[12:10] <masonus> stefg: it tells me that it can't mount the superblock
[12:10] <damian> what is the qt dummy package called...or what package do i install?
[12:10] <masonus> stefg:mount: /dev/sdc1: can't read superblock
[12:10] <stefg> masonus: crap
[12:10] <damian> im guessing qt3-dev-tools will fix this?
[12:10] <damian> *qt4
[12:10] <masonus> damian: have you tried poking through the source for "QTDIR"
[12:11] <masonus> damian: oops sorry, looks like someone else had an answer for you :)
[12:11] <masonus> damian: I think i was on the wrong track anyway
[12:11] <masonus> stefg: so whats that mean?
[12:12] <EvaLuaTe> umm, hello again
[12:12] <stefg> masonus: ok, so you need to reboot anyway. try first without the external plugged in, to check if your win boots and your MBR on the internal survived. then plug in the external (it won't boot) and boot the Live CD up again
[12:12] <masonus> stefg: ok, brb
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> it didn't work to connect through other IP's through the router, so i connected the box directly to the modem
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> and now when restarting networking i get a: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assing requested address, error
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> any idea ?
[12:14] <jkp> question: is there a standard way to configure a system so locate is always up to date?  do i just need a cron job? or is there some more efficient way to keep the db in step
[12:14] <wazzzzzap> Can anyone tell me how can i join my boot.bin and kernel.bin  to an image ?
[12:14] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> jkp: cron works just fine, and should provide all the control you need
[12:15] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> I usually set it to run once daily at a time when I'm normally sleeping
[12:15] <jkp> jack_jimmy_jeffr: only thing is locate takes ages to update: is there some way to get it to be more efficient...ie diffing between the last time it was run?
[12:15] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, modem -> router = router get dynamic ip address. modem -> computer NIC = NIC get dynamic ip. didn't you say you set up the interfaces manually?
[12:15] <EvaLuaTe> yes, i did set them up
[12:16] <EvaLuaTe> but that's how i should do it, that's what the ISP told me
[12:16] <EvaLuaTe> i got a /28 class i can use
[12:16] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> jkp: for it to diff between the last time it was run, it still has to check all the files to see if they are different...
[12:17] <damian> why cant i use my normal 192.....etc address with linux to get my dns, im having to type it manually into the network config every time i reboot and its anoying. can i atleast get the network dialog to save it somehow?
[12:17] <jkp> jack_jimmy_jeffr: true
[12:17] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, sorry, got to go.
[12:17] <vsayikiran> hello everbody, can anyone tell me how to format a disk in ubuntu
[12:17] <aLeSD> where I can download the beta of ubuntu 7.10 ?
[12:18] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> jkp: Like I said, just set it for a time when you aren't normally using the comp. And there is never such a time, just change the nice level of updatedb (man nice)
[12:18] <jkp> jack_jimmy_jeffr: right
[12:18] <jkp> yeah, its for a server
[12:18] <jkp> i dont use it a lot, in anger anyway
[12:18] <vsayikiran> iwant to format ntfs parttition to ext3 plz can anyone help me
[12:19] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> vsayikiran: mke2fs -j (name of win partition)
[12:19] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> vasyikiran: type 'man mke2fs' at the console
[12:19] <vsayikiran> i want to format ntfs partition to ext3
[12:20] <tarelerulz> Any of you every had that totem glich where it don't repeat forever ?
[12:20] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> mke2fs will do that for you.
[12:20] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> the -j option makes it ext3 instead of ext2
[12:20] <vsayikiran> i have typed but i am new to this OS so tell me the exact syntax
[12:20] <damian> why cant i use my normal 192.....etc address with linux to get my dns, im having to type it manually into the network config every time i reboot and its anoying. can i atleast get the network dialog to save it somehow?
[12:20] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> if the partition with windows is /dev/hda3 type 'mke2fs -j /dev/hda3'
[12:21] <erUSUL> vsayikiran:  mke2fs -j -O dir_index (name of win partition)
[12:21] <erUSUL> vsayikiran: or better yet use gparted GUI
[12:21] <erUSUL> !gparted | vsayikiran
[12:21] <ubotu> vsayikiran: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[12:21] <vsayikiran> why -O option is required
[12:21] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> gparted++
[12:22] <erUSUL> vsayikiran: it is just a option to make ookup in directories faster
[12:22] <laz666> zommmmmg
[12:23] <MasonUS> stefg: i'm back
[12:23] <stefg> MasonUS: so?
[12:24] <Borszczuk> hi
[12:24] <lizard_> hi guys im new to this can anyone tell how to make my drives writable as the permission is set to root
[12:24] <stefg> MasonUS: so your internal MBR was alright, and you are on the Live CD session again?
[12:24] <MasonUS> stefg: works like a charm. windows booted right up
[12:24] <MasonUS> stefg: yes, exactly
[12:24] <MasonUS> stefg: I managed to not touch my internal drive at all, as planned.
[12:25] <stefg> MasonUS: so check waht
[12:25] <stefg> MasonUS: so check where the external is now
[12:25] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[12:25] <lizard_> ! how do i make my drives writable as the permission is set to root
[12:26] <marlun> Can I find if a files sticky-bit is set with the find command? =)
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: sdb
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: /dev/sdb
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: but its telling me that it can't mount sdb1
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: i'm going to try reformatting it
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: wait
[12:27] <Eerazor> hello everyone
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: no i'm not
[12:28] <MasonUS> stefg: because it has all of my boot files on it
[12:28] <Eerazor> i have a bit of a problem, probaly with an easy solution would love some quick help
[12:28] <MasonUS> stefg: well, no it doesn't, because I can't mount it
[12:28] <MasonUS> stefg: can't read superblock
[12:29] <[nrx] > morning folks
[12:29] <rafael__> how to unmark  visible mounts
[12:29] <Eerazor> I have Ubuntu 7.04 and have connected it to the Windows Domain controler. That works fine. Problem is the Soundcard is deaktivated when i log on to the Windows Username. The normal Ubuntu Username allows usage for the soundcard... so in a word.. HELP
[12:29] <rafael__> that of windows partition on the desktop
[12:29] <rafael__> app-something
[12:29] <EvaLuaTe> is there a way i could find out the MAC address of my ethernet card ?
[12:29] <erUSUL> Eerazor: maybe you need to add the "windows username" to the audio group?
[12:29] <stefg> MasonUS: so it seems it would have taken a reboot after repartitioning the drive. check sudo fdisk -l once again now
[12:30] <Eerazor> ok will try that
[12:30] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: ip a
[12:30] <damian> checking QTDIR... configure: error: *** QTDIR must be defined, or --with-qtdir option given
[12:30] <damian> still confused
[12:30] <MasonUS> stefg: everything looks right
[12:30] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: or ifconfig -a
[12:31] <Eerazor> ok... uhm how do i add a windows user to the Group manager in Ubuntu lol
[12:31] <stefg> MasonUS: can you see the drives in nautilus' 'Computer' view ?
[12:31] <Lemming> ${string/%substring/replacement} <- any ideas why this would not be working in my shell?
[12:32] <aa_> hi, can I make an onscreen keyboard appear in the login screen for a tablet?
[12:32] <Lemming> ./coolscript.sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad substitution
[12:32] <Lemming> actually not line 1
[12:32] <Lemming> but that's the error message
[12:32] <erUSUL> Eerazor: i'm not sure... when you talk abaout "windows user" it is a linux user that has the same login and password as a AD user?
[12:32] <aa_> also, if I could just gdm not require a login, that would be great
[12:33] <aa_> I can't use the preferences, because I can't run an x session with gdm running
[12:33] <MasonUS> stefg: I can see the drives on my desktop
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> erUSUL, when doing 'ip a', which is the MAC address there ?
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> link/ether ?
[12:33] <Eerazor> nope, the ADS Login details differ to the Ubuntu user details
[12:33] <stefg> MasonUS: are you able to open them and get contents displayed ?
[12:33] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: i think an onscreen keyboard is a defualt in gutsy but i'm not sure about it
[12:33] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: yes in my eth0 that would be  link/ether 00:13:8f:b3:14:a4
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> oh, ok
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> thank you
[12:33] <aa_> Lord_Drachenblut: unfortunately I can't install gutsy right now
[12:33] <MasonUS> stefg: yes for '/' and for /home
[12:34] <MasonUS> stefg: but not for the swap, which I think is correct, and not for the /boot
[12:34] <aa_> yay, found a posting!
[12:35] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: so... at which moment the soundcard is desactivated? when you mount windows shares?
[12:35] <lizard_> what do u need to wright to a reiser fs partition
[12:35] <yellowChicken> is there a domain tracer program?
[12:35] <stefg> MasonUS: so something went wrong with the install... i think you have to redo it
[12:35] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236405 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=456110
[12:35] <damian> checking QTDIR... configure: error: *** QTDIR must be defined, or --with-qtdir option given
[12:35] <MasonUS> stefg: I see, I'll try that right away.
[12:35] <damian> still confused...anyone?
[12:35] <erUSUL> lizard_: nothing special... just mount the partition and if you have correct permissions everything should work
[12:35] <MasonUS> stefg: let me make sure I have the steps down
[12:36] <MasonUS> stefg: delete and recreate /boot partition
[12:36] <erUSUL> yellowChicken: domain tracer??
[12:36] <MasonUS> stefg: run reinstaller?
[12:36] <aa_> Lord_Drachenblut: thanks
[12:36] <stefg> MasonUS: but you have the drive partitioned already, so it should go well now (given you haven't done a mistake).
[12:36] <damian> got it:)
[12:36] <MasonUS> stefg: the other partitions are working fine, so I don't think I need to delete and recreate those
[12:37] <lizard_> erUSUL_: how do i make my drives writable as the permission is set to root
[12:37] <Eerazor> ok will play around with it, thank you all for the quick support
[12:37] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: no prob
[12:37] <damian> i have to sudo a make yeah?
[12:37] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa
[12:37] <MasonUS> stefg: ok, give me a few minutes, I'll let you know how it goes
[12:37] <stefg> MasonUS: not even the /boot. just check if the partition is alright by trying to format it now
[12:37] <damian> and should i sudo configure?
[12:37] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: the second link seems to be the more usefull one
[12:37] <yellowChicken> erUSUL: find out how authoritative/non authoritative answers are given to me
[12:37] <MasonUS> stefg: using gparted?
[12:37] <erUSUL> lizard_: make directories on the root of the partition and give *those* directories the permisions you want (for example make your user the owner)
[12:38] <stefg> MasonUS: yeah, you could use that
[12:38] <yellowChicken> erUSUL: http://www.domaintracer.com/screenshots/screenshot.asp
[12:38] <erUSUL> yellowChicken: something like dig? (man dig)
[12:39] <MasonUS> stefg: it formatted and now I can read it
[12:39] <MasonUS> stefg: I'll run the installer agin
[12:39] <MasonUS> stefg: again*
[12:39] <stefg> MasonUS: right
[12:40] <MasonUS> stefg: I must have goofed something up the first time I formatted that /boot part

[12:45] <MasonUS> stefg: now shouldn't I set that to /dev/sdb1?

[12:51] <Smokem> synaptic only shows ndiswrapper 1.38, how do i update to 1.47
[12:52] <coucou747> salut all
[12:52] <stefg> Smokem: you would have to build it from source
[12:52] <erUSUL> Smokem: only way is manually
[12:52] <Smokem> downloaded the tar.gz configd, made, and installed but ndiswrapper -v still shows 1.38
[12:52] <MasonUS> stefg: 54%
[12:52] <Lemming> erUSUL, got it from http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html
[12:52] <giox> Smokem: go to google and type ndiswrapper the first option there you will find the 1.47
[12:52] <Lemming> "${string/%substring/replacement}
[12:52] <Lemming>     If $substring matches back end of $string, substitute $replacement for $substring."
[12:52] <erUSUL> Smokem: uninstall the packaged one

[12:55] <MasonUS> Does Beryl turn every window into a plane and then texture it with what X would normally paint on it?
[12:55] <MasonUS> I can't think of how else you could have that smooth wobble effect.
[12:55] <giox> Smokem: or type sudo wget http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/content/view/17/2/
[12:55] <MasonUS> right on top of the cube
[12:55] <giox> Smokem: That should do it

[12:56] <erUSUL> Lemming: yes but one of your strings is a wildcard .* not sure if that will work....
[12:57] <giox> does anyone can tell me how to setup a usb to serial adapter on feisty
[12:57] <Smokem> i already downloaded that, unpacked, did make, sudo make install and ndiswrapper still shows v 1.38
[12:57] <erUSUL> Lemming: so it works in other version of bash but not yours...
[12:57] <Lemming> erUSUL, I think so
[12:57] <giox> Smokem: you have to remove the old version first
[12:58] <erUSUL> Lemming: i do not think can help you further. my bashscript-fu is limited :S
[12:58] <Smokem> how i do that... cuz it doesnt show up in synaptic and apt-remove ndiswrapper sez pakcage not found
[12:58] <Smokem> *apt-get remove
[12:58] <MasonUS> stefg: downloading the packages much faster this time
[12:58] <Lemming> erUSUL, I presume you're on ubuntu?
[12:59] <erUSUL> Smokem: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ??
[12:59] <erUSUL> Lemming: yes
[12:59] <Smokem> ya i had that but uninstalled
[01:00] <dn4> Who is gonna wear their "Don't Taze me Bro." T-shirts today?
[01:00] <Lemming> Could you see if this simple script runs on your end, and I'll get my friend to run it on his? http://pastebin.com/m2d1710ea
[01:00] <saeed662> LOL @ Dont taze me bro
[01:01] <giox> Smokem: 1: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper 2: sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils
[01:01] <giox> Smokem: Now you need to hunt down and find all instances of ndiswrapper left on your file system.
[01:01] <giox> The easiest way to do this is to run a search, to find Ubuntu's search function look under the Places entry on the top left corner of your computer. Type in ndiswrapper and look in folder : file system.

[01:02] <giox> In a terminal type:
[01:02] <giox> sudo nautilus
[01:02] <mcabra> hop hop jest tu ktos?
[01:03] <saeed662> i seen it on the news looks pretty bad pril.
[01:03] <giox> Smokem: Delete all instances of ndiswrapper. Then run the two previous commands over again.
[01:03] <giox> In a terminal type:
[01:03] <giox> sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
[01:03] <giox> Then:
[01:03] <giox> sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils
[01:03] <Lemming> or 'gksudo nautilus' in alt+f2 dialog
[01:03] <Lemming> if you don't want the terminal :)
[01:04] <lobster> server irc.linuxfromscratch.org

[01:04] <ubotu> luca: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:04] <rediz_> get firestarter.
[01:05] <Pir1> you can add on a firewall GUI configuration called firestarter
[01:05] <saeed662> yea firestarter yo
[01:05] <Lemming> sorry gotta run, thanks for your help erUSUL
[01:05] <Lemming> o/
[01:05] <Smokem> ill give it a shot, one thing i noticed before when using search in nautilus - if i run a search from say "/" it doesnt search entire filesystem
[01:05] <saeed662> go to applications click on add/remove programs and install it from there
[01:05] <luca> [nrx]  I do not want the repo drivers, rather the newst ones from the Nvidia site
[01:05] <luca> :)
[01:05] <MasonUS> stefg: the installation will be complete within about 3 more minutes I think
[01:06] <Pir1> question: theme ubuntu: how to configure the color of a theme in ubuntu. fedora has clor-chooser, but that ain't working in ubuntu......
[01:06] <[nrx] > luca: there's no guarantee that it wont 'trash' your box then :)
[01:06] <stefg> MasonUS: ok... then we'll have to look at /boot/grub/menu.lst in the installed system
[01:06] <saeed662> i got a question about firestarter , how come every time you run ubuntu you would need to run firestarter manually?
[01:07] <Pir1> saeed662: really?
[01:07] <MasonUS> stefg: so I'll just CD to that partition and then gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[01:07] <giox> Smokem:  If you have any questions go to this page is a step by step on how to remove it and install it http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/2007/01/fixing-wifi-on-dell-1501.html
[01:07] <stefg> MasonUS: i think you first have to mount /dev/sdb1
[01:07] <saeed662> yea
[01:08] <giox> Smokem: Thats what i use to setup mine and is working fine
[01:08] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[01:09] <edn2> in gutsy, i'm noticing the dcraw process consistently eating up about 40% of the cpu ... i was about to remove it but it appears to now be required by the ubuntu-desktop package - not sure what to do
[01:09] <stefg> MasonUS: the issue is that all entries in there will refer to (hd1,0) and /dev/sdb ... but this is wrong when the USB is your boot drive. it'll be (hd0) and sda in that case
[01:10] <giox> saeed662: go to preference>sessions and add a new command you need to know what is the command to run firestarters
[01:10] <[nrx] > !gutsy | edn2
[01:10] <ubotu> edn2: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[01:10] <MasonUS> stefg: ok I mounted it like this mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[01:11] <edn2> ubotu: thanks - will check there
[01:11] <Myrtti> !bot > edn2
[01:11] <stefg> MasonUS: so sudo gedit /mnt/grub/menu.lst (having it in pastebin would help)

[01:15] <MasonUS> stefg: I'm looking at where it says root (hd1,0) kernel initrd etc....
[01:15] <MasonUS> stefg: thats what you're changing right?
[01:15] <stefg> right and the #groot line
[01:16] <DexterF> !kernel
[01:16] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:17] <stefg> MasonUS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37895/
[01:17] <DexterF> guys, I'm a bit at a loss. I compiled a kernel the other day from the gutsy src on feisty. the kernel works fine, but the modules are mind boggling huge. xfs.ko for example has a whopping 10MB, the entire image deb has 204MB.
[01:18] <MasonUS> stefg: ok its updated with your changes
[01:18] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> How well does OpenOffice support exporting to MS Word format? I have a friend that wants to start using Linux, but a primary fear is that she won't be able to send word docs to people for work. I don't use word processors much (emacs works nicely for me) but when I was doing testing tonight with OpenOffice, and tried to save my test doc, I got a message about some formatting chars not being saved properly...
[01:19] <MasonUS> stefg: shall I try my 2 tests again?
[01:19] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> How badly will the formatting be messed up?
[01:19] <stefg> MasonUS: so this is how it should look. I'm not perfectly sure if grub is smart enough to find its config file even if it was installed as sdb1 in the mbr, but i hobe so. if you get a error 17 you'll need a small three line procedure from grubs command line
[01:19] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[01:19] <MasonUS> stefg: let me get a pen and paper
[01:20] <MasonUS> stefg: afk 30 sec
[01:20] <MasonUS> stefg; back
[01:21] <Flawless> What happened to the "acerhk" kernel module in gutsy? I can't use my multimedia keys any longer
[01:22] <luk3> hi i have installed pptpd on ubuntu server i can access the server from outside with no connection problems however when i try to access a web server on the netwok it wont work even though i can ping the machine. any ideas?
[01:22] <stefg> MasonUS: so its 1.) "find /grub/stage1" ... this will turn up (hd0,0) 2.) root (hd0,0)  3.) setup (hd0) .... the differnce is that grub now really sses the USB drive as hd0 when it got booted from there
[01:23] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[01:23] <stefg> MasonUS: but you have a 75% chance that it'll just work (tm) now
[01:23] <giox> does anyone knows how to setup a usb to serial adapter on feisty
[01:24] <MasonUS> stefg: I'm a gamblin man, i'll take those odds :)

[01:25] <EvaLuaTe> hello again
[01:26] <EvaLuaTe> so i talked to my ISP and he said that probably my router doesn't support connecting through multiple IP's, so i would have to route them from one of my boxes, any idea how i could do this ? any link or such would be appreciated, as i'm really desperate to get my IP's working :/
[01:27] <EvaLuaTe> he said that the class i bought is routed through my primary IP address, which is in another class
[01:27] <enrique> hola
[01:27] <Smokem> ok...in this tut im at the part of geting needed files, specificly the windows driver (for dell) not on dell...does it matter?
[01:27] <enrique> hola
[01:28] <heterodox> i have an annoying glitch on my laptop, i remade a swap partition & have to mount it through /etc/fstab on each boot. Now the laptop wont hibernate, any ideas?
[01:29] <XsteelWolf> put it in the freezer and it will hibernate itself ^--
[01:29] <heterodox> lol :P
[01:29] <XsteelWolf> check your power savings settings
[01:29] <XsteelWolf> lol
[01:30] <heterodox> i am right in thinking it is the swap partition that hibernates uses?
[01:30] <heterodox> XsteelWolf, i have.. i can suspend (not to disk) shutdown & restart
[01:30] <heterodox> ahhh
[01:30] <heterodox> hold on
[01:31] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, think you could help me out please ? :/
[01:31] <Smokem> giox: in the tut it sez somthing about geting dell windows driver... not on dell, does it matter?
[01:31] <Myrtti> errrrrr
[01:32] <XsteelWolf> still can't solve it evaluate?
[01:32] <EvaLuaTe> no :(
[01:32] <XsteelWolf> what problem
[01:32] <EvaLuaTe> i'm no linux expert, but can it be this hard ?
[01:32] <EvaLuaTe> well, let me explain the entire problem
[01:32] <heterodox> nope XsteelWolf, they are all enabled under acpi config
[01:33] <EvaLuaTe> i got my connection a few weeks ago, and now i got an added <IP_ADDRESS>/28 class to it, and the ISP said it would be routed through the primary IP address so i should route them either using a router or using one of my PC's
[01:34] <EvaLuaTe> so i can connect to one of the 78.* IP's to the net
[01:34] <jelly> heterodox: what do you mean by "have to mount it through /etc/fstab on each boot"?
[01:34] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, best bet is a router
[01:34] <kyja> I have an ipod. is it supose to mount as me the owner and root as its group and I cant make a partition for ipodlinux or change its name or anything. HELP
[01:34] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, then use static NAT
[01:34] <EvaLuaTe> well, i have one, but appareantly it doesn't support multiple IP's
[01:34] <EvaLuaTe> i tried
[01:34] <giox> Smoken: no just ignore that part follow the steps but using the driver for you wireless device
[01:34] <Grejao> how do i put my comum user to mount partitions?
[01:35] <heterodox> jelly, when i remade it, it would not activate until i did a swapon /part/ition or get fstab to bring it up on boot
[01:35] <Grejao> i have a shared directory at net that i mount normally with root, but no with my comum user
[01:35] <jelly> heterodox: is it now in your fstab?
[01:35] <heterodox> yes jelly
[01:35] <Smokem> ok so instead of the .exe it talks about use file.inf?
[01:36] <EvaLuaTe> heterodox: you think this would work for me: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch03_:_Linux_Networking#Multiple_IP_Addresses_on_a_Single_NIC ?
[01:36] <Smokem> or the driver setup.exe
[01:36] <heterodox> jelly: /dev/sda5       none    swap    sw              0       0
[01:37] <jelly> heterodox: looks ok.  it wouldn't be the last line in fstab?
[01:37] <heterodox> no
[01:37] <heterodox> it's number 2 after /
[01:37] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, you could try bridging
[01:37] <Smokem> giox: the drivers setup.exe or .inf
[01:38] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: i would suggest doing some reading for your router
[01:38] <lorenzo_> hello someone know a good ftp program
[01:38] <MasonUS> stephg: Hi, it worked.  windows boots without the drive attached and with it attached I get grub and all of the correct options
[01:38] <jelly> heterodox: is it being in use now? (grep sda5 /proc/swaps)
[01:38] <EvaLuaTe> [nrx] , there isn't anything decent documentation to be found on the internet
[01:38] <Tex-Twil> hi there
[01:38] <MasonUS> stephg: I Just installed xchat using the package manager, much better
[01:38] <EvaLuaTe> i already tried searching
[01:38] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: what router?
[01:38] <heterodox> yes, 33.1M out of 3000M
[01:38] <EvaLuaTe> edimax br-6204wg
[01:38] <heterodox> sorry, jelly ^^
[01:39] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: Step 1: Get a decent router
[01:39] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[01:39] <heterodox> or build one
[01:39] <jelly> heterodox: sorry, im afk... be back in half hour
[01:39] <giox> Smokem: when you get the drivers just rename it with what ever the name you want with this at the end .zip
[01:39] <EvaLuaTe> could you recommend me one that would do what i need ?
[01:39] <MasonUS> stefg*
[01:39] <giox> Smokem: then extract the .zip file
[01:39] <[nrx] > any of the decent ones from DLink
[01:40] <Grejao> how do i put my comum user to mount partitions?
[01:40] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, drayke, d-link, linksys or cisco
[01:40] <stefg> MasonUS: so you're online on the installed system now? Did it work?
[01:40] <benzs_s> hey, when i try to upgrade (sudo apt-get upgrade) i get the following packages that need to be upgraded but... aren't being upgraded: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37890/
[01:40] <benzs_s> does anyone have any idea what's going on
[01:40] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: http://www.isracomp.com/TohenMainF.asp?idd=20
[01:41] <Smokem> ya the drivers come in a setup.exe but i got those out with wine so my q is in this part of the tut what file .inf, .sys, .dll do i use
[01:41] <MasonUS> stefg: yes everything works great.
[01:41] <stefg> MasonUS: great !
[01:41] <kennethr> Can anyone here help me with a dpkg error message?
[01:41] <heterodox> benzs_s, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:41] <MasonUS> stefg: thank you for everything
[01:41] <A2t3c13> can anyone tell me how to mark selections inside the terminal to configure localpurge?need to pick languages in series of ''[ ] ''boxes such as this
[01:41] <MasonUS> stefg: now I Have to start tackling my hardware issues
[01:42] <stefg> MasonUS: so yo've got updates to do... including a kernel update. Hope it don't breaks it (so i've done the editing right)
[01:42] <benzs_s> heterodox: ah yeah, that seems to work... will this have any adverse effects? i.e. was there a reason those upgrades were being held back?
[01:42] <heterodox> benzs_s, depends what the upgrades were
[01:43] <MasonUS> stefg: I'm running the update manager now
[01:43] <EvaLuaTe> [nrx] , you think DLink DI 524 would do the trick ?
[01:43] <kennethr> How does a person get help in here?
[01:43] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, if that is older than a DI 601, then no
[01:43] <kennethr> I have a dpkg error
[01:43] <kennethr> subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[01:43] <kennethr> please?
[01:43] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[01:43] <kennethr> anyone?
[01:43] <heterodox> kennetr just ask your question
[01:43] <MasonUS> stefg: it could take quite a while it looks like
[01:44] <benzs_s> heterodox: i copied the output into pastebin... it's mostly gstreamer stuff. one amsn, ntfs-3g and one or two others i don't know of

[01:44] <heterodox> should be fine then benzs_s

[01:48] <brophat> i went to the add/remove applications thing and could not find it listed
[01:48] <MasonUS> stefg: will it mount it as well?

[01:49] <brophat> no using intel core 2 duo
[01:49] <EvaLuaTe> [nrx] , it really says on that site that it supports multiple IP addresses, but i can't find any configuration options that would let me configure the IP's
[01:49] <jrib> brophat: is the version of ubuntu you are using, the i386 (32bit) or amd64 (64bit) one?
[01:49] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: hold on
[01:50] <brophat> i386
[01:50] <EvaLuaTe> [nrx] , could i somehow give you access to the settings of the router, so you could look into it ?
[01:50] <MasonUS> stefg: didn't find it
[01:50] <EvaLuaTe> because i'm not very familiar with networking and such
[01:50] <jrib> brophat: then you need to enable multiverse in system -> administration -> software sources  as the wiki page ubotu linked you to explains
[01:50] <EvaLuaTe> or is the router only accessible from the lan ?
[01:50] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: did you read the link i gave you? starting on page 53.. you should read up on it. It's all about NAT.You may want to read up on NAT on the net, too

[01:51] <[nrx] > jrib: ?
[01:51] <EvaLuaTe> ok [nrx] , i'll try to google it, but the settings in the router are not very 'self explaining'
[01:51] <avt3kk> mplayer wont install

[01:52] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: it's definately an issue with NAT then... best to read that link :)
[01:52] <giox> EvaLuaTe: What is the purpose behind using multiple ip on ine nic?
[01:53] <MasonUS> stefg: man I am thrilled that it is working and I understand why
[01:53] <jrib> [nrx] : ?
[01:53] <avt3kk> Jatt?
[01:53] <[nrx] > jrib: would it be an idea to add a google feature to the bot?
[01:53] <MasonUS> stefg: I know that he installation druid did a lot of work behind the scenes.
[01:53] <EvaLuaTe> giox, running services like bouncers or stuff
[01:53] <MasonUS> stefg: but at least I Understand the file structure somewhat now
[01:53] <brophat> jrib multiverse is already selected
[01:53] <jrib> [nrx] : it would be an idea, but I think it would just cause more spam and the first hit in google is not always what you want
[01:54] <[nrx] > jrib: with the search result coming in a pm?
[01:54] <giox> EvaLuaTe: how will you setup more than one IP on your nic card?
[01:54] <jrib> [nrx] : I suppose you could ask Seveas about it
[01:54] <brophat> jrib so multiverse is selected so then where do i get it?
[01:54] <EvaLuaTe> giox, i don't know, that's what i'm trying to figure out right now
[01:54] <jrib> brophat: do you also have the Updates repository enabled?
[01:54] <Seveas> [nrx] , been requested a zillion times, and the answer has always been no and will stay no
[01:55] <[nrx] > Seveas: lol okay :)
[01:55] <[nrx] > giox: virtually all shared hosting providers run multiple IP's off the same nic, it's not hard
[01:55] <brophat> jrib where would I do that?
[01:55] <jrib> brophat: in the "Updates" tab, "(feisty-updates)"

[01:57] <brophat> jrib no such thing as updates repository in the updates tab

[01:58] <zipper> I've just bought a song, which apparently uses IBX DRM. How do i remove that crap? ie. turn it into mp3 or ogg?[#ubuntu]  I've just bought a song, which apparently uses IBX DRM. How do i remove that crap? ie. turn it into mp3 or ogg?
[01:58] <zipper> ehrm
[01:58] <zipper> sorry
[01:58] <jrib> brophat: ok, then close that window and do "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" and then restart your browser
[01:58] <jatt> zipper: what's wrong with mldonkey or gtk-gnutella? No need to buy songs...
[01:59] <brophat> ok will do
[01:59] <IdleOne> jatt: please dont promote copyright infringement
[01:59] <zipper> jatt: well, i guess i could use that, but i've been unable to find the song i want.
[02:00] <zipper> jatt: you know of any way to remove IBX drm?
[02:00] <jatt> IdleOne: ?
[02:00] <zipper> jatt: besides, thought recommending people to do piracy was against the channel policy
[02:00] <brophat> jrib ok did it
[02:00] <brophat> now what
[02:00] <jrib> brophat: that's it
[02:01] <brophat> jrib i should have flash on my websites?
[02:01] <jrib> brophat: yes
[02:01] <jrib> (check)
[02:01] <Pici> jatt: zipper: its against #ubuntu and Freenode policy.
[02:01] <jatt> IdleOne: mldonkey and gtk-gnutella are very fine programs. Is their use illegal?
[02:01] <Turazoor> hi all, does anyone know how i can increase my screen resolution whilst using Nvidia RIVA TNT 2 card, at the moment according to System > Screen Resolution; my max screen res is 800*600 however i know this is incorrect
[02:01] <brophat> jrib still no flash
[02:02] <Seveas> brophat, did you close all firefoxes?
[02:02] <hmhowie> Turazoor: have a look at the ffbconfig command and similar
[02:02] <IdleOne> jatt: downloading music without buying it first is illegal and goes against the Ubuntu  CoC the programs themselfs and the use of the program is not illegal
[02:02] <hmhowie> Turazoor: sorry, wrong channel :) have a look in xorg.conf :)
[02:02] <brophat> jrib yes
[02:02] <jrib> brophat: pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree'?
[02:02] <jrib> !pastebin > brophat (read the private message from ubotu)
[02:03] <zipper> IdleOne: but now that i have actually bought the song, i should be able to play it. There must be some way to get rid of DRM? I've heard something about "fair2use" ?
[02:03] <Seveas> zipper, you probably clicked on some sort of license agreement before downloading that says you cannot do that
[02:03] <IdleOne> zipper: I dont know about that or how to remove the DRM. sorry :/
[02:04] <brophat> jrib pastebin means to go to the pastebin website?
[02:04] <zipper> Seveas: yeah, probably.  I dont care about the law in this case, i bought a song - i should be able to play it
[02:04] <jrib> brophat: yes
[02:04] <brophat> pastebin.net?
[02:04] <Seveas> zipper, illegal activities like that are off-topic here and will get you banned
[02:04] <Seveas> brophat, paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:05] <jrib> brophat: ubotu sent you a private message with info about it.  Do you see it?
[02:05] <Devo> Why doesn't feisty fawn come with Pidgin instead of Gaim?
[02:05] <IdleOne> zipper: I hear ya but we cannot help you circumvent the law
[02:05] <zipper> Seveas: depends on your countrys law... they differ quite a bit from country to country. AFAIK, it's not illegal in my country to remove DRM
[02:05] <Seveas> Devo, because pidgin didn't exist when feisty was released
[02:05] <jrib> Devo: Becase pidgin was released after packages in Feisty were frozen
[02:05] <Devo> :o ohhhh.
[02:05] <Seveas> zipper, this is an international channel. We have to be strict :)
[02:05] <zipper> Seveas: why? Internation law doesnt work like that
[02:05] <Turazoor> hmhowie: ok, can i just add 1024*768 etc etc into the lists of avail' display settings?
[02:06] <zipper> international*
[02:06] <bit32> #makassar
[02:06] <brophat> i am using xchat-gnome it does not get private msg bwahahha
[02:06] <IdleOne> zipper: but what we say can unintentioanly put someone else in jail or even us
[02:06] <Turazoor> hmhowie: and also is is possible to enable composite, so that i may use desktop effects?
[02:06] <Seveas> zipper, but our policies do
[02:06] <zipper> Seveas: if it did, thepiratebay would not exist... but yet, here we are.
[02:06] <Seveas> zipper, so i suggest you cut the offtopic talk out and let's return to supporting people
[02:07] <zipper> probably a good idea Seveas, although i disgree that it goes against the policy of this channel
[02:07] <MasonUS> stefg: 108 of 119 packages downloaded
[02:07] <jrib> brophat: you should be able to get them somehow
[02:07] <zipper> IdleOne: as i said, i believe it is legal in my country to remove drm, so no harm should be done by that
[02:08] <Seveas> zipper, last warning. Stop.
[02:08] <nero> can someone help me Im trying to add a new hdd with winxp to a ubuntu machine grub does not work plz
[02:08] <brophat> i pasted it into paste.ubuntu-nl.org

[02:08] <IdleOne> zipper: it is illegal in my country and I will not help you . sorry
[02:08] <hmhowie> Turazoor: if 3d acceleration works on your card, then desktop effects should also work

[02:11] <sandy> i have problem with gusty
[02:11] <maddash> oh. haha.
[02:11] <hmhowie> kennethr: what's the error? >pastebin
[02:11] <Devo> How do I install Pidgin? :D  apt-get install pidgin did not find any packages.
[02:11] <jrib> sandy: #ubuntu+1 for help with gutsy
[02:11] <maddash> what's wrong with stalin? freedom of speech, dude.
[02:11] <brophat> jrib did you know that it is a long output?
[02:11] <nero> i have put to line in menu.lst to boot the winxp but doesnot work
[02:11] <Seveas> maddash, freedom of speech is a red herring used by people who like to offend others
[02:11] <maddash> Devo: `apt-cache search pidgin`
[02:12] <jrib> brophat: that's ok, pastebin can handle it
[02:12] <Devo> maddash: Thank you. :)
[02:12] <giox> Devo: use kopete it has webcam support pidgin does not
[02:12] <Seveas> Devo, if you are on feisty: pidgin does not exist there
[02:12] <nero> the existing ubuntu drive still works tho
[02:12] <Devo> Seveas: Oh... :'(
[02:12] <brophat> jrib it ended with "Flash Plugin installed"
[02:12] <Seveas> Devo, use gaim
[02:12] <kennethr> When I run 'sudo dpkg -r clvm' I see two errors.  "dpkg: error processing clvm (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" and "dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3".  The error pops up every time I install/uninstall something.
[02:13] <brophat> do I still need to pastebin it for you/
[02:13] <Devo> Seveas: I am using Gaim but Pidgin looks like it has a lot of cool features.
[02:13] <maddash> wah? gaim->pidgin-> gaim again? cool.
[02:13] <jrib> brophat: ok, then just tell me here what the output of the following command is 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[02:13] <jrib> brophat: ok, then just tell me here what the output of the following command is 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | grep Installed'
[02:13] <Seveas> Devo, pidgin is the new name of gaim, not too many differences
[02:14] <kennethr> hmhowie: did you see it?
[02:14] <Devo> Seveas: Is Kopete more developed than Gaim?

[02:32] <Knight_On_White> Seveas: but if i will rm on the symlink (/media/test) it will delete my files in the orginal folder ? (/home/user/desktop/test) ?
[02:32] <giox> sandy: is a fresh install?
[02:32] <hmhowie> kennethr: good question. dpkg must know it. but how to find it?
[02:33] <Seveas> Knight_On_White, no
[02:33] <Knight_On_White> ok thanks
[02:33] <Knight_On_White> :)
[02:33] <Seveas> Knight_On_White, make sure you do rm test and not rm test/ (will fail) or rm -r test (will delete the files you wnat to stay)
[02:33] <enyc> I would like to have a debootstrap on Etch4.0 amd64 system, that is capable of installing ubuntu-Dapper6.06 chroot,  (installing a backwards-compatbile-LTS-environment we need)  but Etch debootstrap only has upto ubuntu-Breezy5.10....
