[03:12] <tseug> How do I mount a device in the shell? (I run Ubuntu Hardy)
[03:12] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : What is SSID?
[03:12] <Sylphid> Tmob, looks like your allowing the connection to initiate but nothing else
[03:12] <slestak> tseug: man mount
[03:12] <jrib> nintendork87: then you haven't answered my question.  Maybe this will make it easier: What exactly do you do from the moment ubuntu loads until you type in "java blabla pircbot"?
[03:12] <kc8pxy> anyone?
[03:12] <WebcamWonder> insta, I don't know. There must be more factors that we aren't considering. Since the niceness is part of the kernel, I would ask around in the kernel development as to how the niceness is actually handled
[03:13]  * jrib kills the bots
[03:13] <Sylphid> Tmob, try using --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED instead
[03:13] <nintendork87> jrib: nothing except compile it if i updated the bot
[03:13] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: the name your wireless network shows up as
[03:13] <gbear14275> so... ran out of room on my partition when trying to uninstall packages... doesn't make sense... but there is supossedly a autoinstall command I can use to clean up the partition
[03:13] <insta> WebcamWonder: I get the vague impression its some form of power control
[03:13] <jrib> nintendork87: you start a terminal in Accessories -> terminal first?
[03:13] <Frijolie> LF|Irssi_ : I'd like to blame it on Pulse's implementation in Ubuntu but I'm not sure where the root of the problem is
[03:13] <insta> the kernel sees processes taking up "100%" cpu, but all nice, which means i don't care too much about them
[03:13] <nintendork87> jrib: yes
[03:13] <insta> so it throttles them to get them under the CPU threshold for faster speeds
[03:14] <insta> and then throttles the cpu down
[03:14] <WebcamWonder> insta, You aren't on the Conversative governer are you?
[03:14] <emhs> Anyone know an iTunes decrypter for Linux?  I'm trying to help a client that I'm converting to Ubuntu keep his music collection.
[03:14] <jrib> nintendork87: so now you type 'screen' in a terminal. And then press  ctrl-a  followed by  d
[03:14] <LF|Irssi_> Audio and Nvidia drivers=only two things that i cannot get working in 8.10..... im trying REALLY REALLY hard to not switch back to 8.04 I really am.
[03:14] <slestak> opensync plugin wants to install python 2.4 on II, can 2.4 and 2.5 coexist?
[03:14] <jrib> !ipod | emhs
[03:14] <insta> WebcamWonder: I could be, I forgot where to check that >:(
[03:15] <FloridaGuy> jrib, i tryed to cd's of 8.10 just like about 6 of 8.04 and geting erorrs on install....dident have any problems with this 7.04
[03:15] <jrib> FloridaGuy: did you run "check the cd for defects" from the CD's boot menu?
[03:15] <WebcamWonder> insta, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ <=This is what the google overload gave me
[03:15] <kc8pxy> totem is telling me it can't read from the resource, when i put in a dvd.
[03:16] <insta> rargh
[03:16] <tensei> skry^, is this accurate? http://www.realtimeedit.com/blog/2007/10/07/avi-to-dvd-script-linux-ubuntu/
[03:16] <insta> i dont have cpufreq
[03:16] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : Didn't work. It still doesn't show up as a wireless network :( Out of ideas?
[03:16] <jrib> kc8pxy: installed css?
[03:16] <nintendork87> jirb: it didnt work
[03:16] <nintendork87> it said screen detacted
[03:16] <cription>  /server irc.dishnewbies.tv
[03:17] <Tmob> Sylphid, shall i still have NEW or just RELATED and ESTABLISHED?
[03:17] <WebcamWonder> insta, Then your processor/linux implementation, doesn't support CPU Scaling, so that possibility goes out of the window. I am out of clever ideas
[03:17] <FloridaGuy> jrib, no..im not worried about time....i have an 8 mbps cable connection...and my provider..has a power boost in there system...that gives burst up to 24 mbps
[03:17] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: did you tell it to connect automatically in your network configuration?
[03:17] <kc8pxy> jrib:  i installed restricted extras, is css not in there?
[03:17] <arrrghhh> kc8pxy, there is no css package
[03:17] <jrib> FloridaGuy: erm, I didn't ask about time?
[03:17] <LF|Irssi_> nintendork87: type screen -ls   then type screen -r <and what ever the # of the pid goes here>
[03:17] <jrib> !dvd | kc8pxy
[03:17] <carpeliam> rhythmbox and totem both freeze as soon as i try to play any audio file :( any ideas?
[03:17] <insta> WebcamWonder: I know, it's a really strange problem
[03:17] <marshal0505> nintendork87: 'screen -x' or 'screen -d -r' to reattach
[03:18] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : Yes, I did. It seems like it can't even detect the network to even aoutomaticly connect
[03:18] <nintendork87> ill ask tomorrow i give up
[03:18] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: what happens on reboot?  You don't get connected?
[03:18] <Skry^> tensei, looks like it.
[03:18] <Sylphid> Tmob, i think just RELATED,ESTABLISHED should work
[03:19] <FloridaGuy> jrib, when i asked about the upgrade..you said probly be faster to install
[03:19] <Skry^> nintendork87, first terminal, then screen, then the stuff you want to run on background, then ctrl+a+d
[03:19] <jrib> FloridaGuy: right
[03:19] <carpeliam> any ideas why rhythmbox and totem would freeze as soon as i try to play any audio file? :(
[03:19] <Frijolie> guess, that's a no
[03:19] <nintendork87> i need to go
[03:19] <russ_> Does any linux distro support creative x - fi sound cards?
[03:19] <lirel> hi, i can't find udevmonitor in the repo, is there an alternative avail?
[03:19] <Sylphid> Tmob, ..... before i tell you wrong is eth1 your WAN interface ant tun0 and eth0 LAN
[03:19] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : Nope. But it does detect all other wireless networks around except mine. I checked mine out, tested other laptops in the house, and reset the modem. Still will not show up on only my computer.
[03:20] <Skry^> tensei, if you dont like console then try devede, it's in repos so you can install it via synaptic
[03:20] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: after you added your network manually to network configuration and rebooted, it did not work?
[03:20] <Tmob> Sylphid, WAN is eth1, eth0 is internet, tun0 is my VPN interface
[03:20] <FloridaGuy> 1021 packages 9 min remaining
[03:20] <Tmob> Sylphid, the strange thing is this worked before i upgraded to ibex.. why is it not working now?
[03:20] <turtle_> I need serious help
[03:20] <turtle_> with my desktop effects
[03:21] <turtle_> can anyone help?
[03:21] <Sylphid> Tmob, make sure that your interfaces didnt get reversed
[03:21] <sar4j> !compiz | turtle_
[03:21] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : No, but I will try to reboot again and come back here if you think that would be a good shot to try again.
[03:21] <Tmob> Sylphid, nop.. fairly sure eth0 is the net.. i see the public ip on it
[03:21] <Sylphid> Tmob, IE eth0 is still the nic you expect it to be
[03:21] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: give it a shot, I don't understand exactly how nm works
[03:21] <tensei> Skry^, thank you
[03:21] <Tmob> Sylphid, but even then, do you think the iptables logic changed recently?
[03:22] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : Ok, rebooting now.
[03:22] <Sylphid> Tmob, i worked with someone 3 days ago that had his interfaces reversed
[03:22] <Tmob> Sylphid, like the way states are defined? this script worked fine for me for about 2 years
[03:22] <tseug> How do I mount a device which I do not know the name or location of (Ubuntu, Hardy)?
[03:22] <Skry^> tensei, np
[03:22] <cwe_akper> ae
[03:22] <Tmob> Sylphid, i believe interfaces are fine, because the dhcp i get on eth0 matches what it should be.. (public ip)
[03:22] <jrib> tseug: you find it somehow?
[03:23] <Tmob> Sylphid, eth1 is the local net.. as i can login into the machine via local ip..
[03:23] <Sylphid> Tmob, you kinda lost me when you said WAN is eth1 and internet is eth1
[03:23] <temp0070>  there are two net cards... eth0 comes up dhcp fine from the internet.. how can I get eth1 to come up w/ a static IP on boot?
[03:23] <tensei> Skry^, one more quick question.. which movie player do you like better, totem or Mplayer?
[03:23] <Venin> i have this program that needs to be run with sudo.. but it wont allow logging to my user folder.. it allows logging to /tmp/  though.. any ideas? i want logs to be stored in a permanent folder
[03:23] <Sylphid> Tmob, ok so eth1 is local and eth0 is connected to the ISP
[03:23] <Tmob> yes
[03:23] <Tmob> that is correct
[03:23] <Sylphid> Tmob, got ya
[03:23] <insta> WebcamWonder: doh!
[03:23] <FloridaGuy> is all ubuntu's repo mirrors slow....im use to geting upto 2.5 mbps download on updating and upgradeing systems
[03:23] <Tmob> i am doign a NAT in my home.. with eth1
[03:23] <insta> media@matey:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq$ cat scaling_available_governors
[03:23] <insta> performance
[03:23] <kc8pxy> jrib: wow. first time i've done "real" compiling in ubuntu :)  looks lie my gentoo box :)
[03:24] <FloridaGuy> not 775 kbps
[03:24] <Skry^> tensei, mostly mplayer. dont like totems ui nor performance.
[03:24] <temp0070> how to I get network manager to assign a static IP on boot?
[03:24] <tensei> skry^, UI?
[03:24] <jrib> FloridaGuy: local universities are usually pretty fast
[03:24] <n8tuser> temp0070-> man interfaces
[03:24] <WebcamWonder> insta, So, you only have 1 available. That is def. not the problem. It has to do with the internal logic of the "nice" parameter
[03:24] <Spirits-Sight> what is the easiest way to connect to a remote computer to contral it
[03:24] <Skry^> tensei, user interface
[03:24] <jrib> !ssh | Spirits-Sight
[03:24] <Sparcler> Hello, I have a strange question, every Linux distribution I have ever used has had a "/etc/inittab" file that controls init. I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and "/etc/inittab" is missing, and it looks like Ubuntu doesn't use an inittab file. How do you control init and your default runlevel?
[03:24] <Commie_Cary> Skry^, dont you mean GUI
[03:24] <tensei> skry^, ah, i'm use to GUI, thanks..
[03:24] <insta> my buddy thinks it might be a kernel bug :o
[03:25] <jrib> !upstart | Sparcler
[03:25] <temp0070> n8thanks n8tuser
[03:25] <Skry^> Commie_Cary, okokok
[03:25] <Sylphid> Tmob, ok while your rules may have worked in the past they are somewhat backwards
[03:25] <lirel> !udev
[03:25] <Spirits-Sight> jrib: this would allow the contraling of a system
[03:25] <WebcamWonder> jrib, Intrepid no longer has init?
[03:25] <jrib> Spirits-Sight: yes
[03:25] <Sylphid> Tmob, generally you want to allow all outbound traffic and limit inbound
[03:25] <jrib> WebcamWonder: what do you mean by "init" exactly?
[03:25] <Tmob> Sylphid, u know, it actually is working without any changes now.. i'm thoroughly confused because i spent all night yesterday and it didn't work
[03:25] <FloridaGuy> does unbuntu use nluug.nl or surfnet.nl from the neverlands for mirrors
[03:25] <Sylphid> Tmob, your rules have the reverse
[03:26] <phu> hi
[03:26] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know why Ubuntu 8.04 is unavailable for download ?  all I can find is 8.04.1, which doesn't help, it has graphics card bugs
[03:26] <n8tuser> lirel-> http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[03:26] <alec> can anyone tell me if there is a program that will do the same as disk warrior for ubuntu, i have a skrewed up flash drive
[03:26] <tensei> skry^, I'm still getting use to ubuntu.. does it have defaults like windows, or do you just open which application you want to use?
[03:26] <temp0070> n8tuser:  now that i have interfaces setup for eth1 how do i get it to get the IP?
[03:26] <WebcamWonder> jrib, Nvm. I am mixing the working of different applications
[03:26] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : Nope, still can't detect my network.
[03:26] <Tmob> Sylphid, actually i have a fuller script
[03:26] <jrib> Samus_Aran: the 8.04 CDs have a serious security issue
[03:26] <Tmob> Sylphid, lemme pastebin that
[03:26] <Skry^> tensei, it has defaults, which you can change if you want.
[03:26] <n8tuser> temp0070-> you can assign the static ip address,  man interfaces   to see how to set one
[03:26] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: don't know then
[03:26] <tensei> skry^, How?
[03:27] <SeaPhor> Bigblackbunny, is this a laptop?
[03:27] <Sparcler> Thanks, I guess I'm used to doing things differently.
[03:27] <Spirits-Sight> how do I connect to the other system, the other system is using VNC
[03:27] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : Yes, this is a duel core intel laptop
[03:27] <temp0070> n8tuser:  i have.  so /etc/network/interfaces is fine now... ifconfig shows eth1 but no IP.... how to i get it to read interfaces?  eth0 has a dhcp from isp
[03:27] <jrib> Samus_Aran: what's the link to the bug you are referring to?
[03:27] <Samus_Aran> jrib: well blah.  8.04.1 and 8.10 have a seriously broken Intel driver
[03:27] <lekremyelsew> hi dudes
[03:27] <lirel> n8tuser: did they remove udevmonitor?
[03:27] <n8tuser> temp0070-> is the eth1 connected to the same router?
[03:27] <Skry^> tensei, in nautilus right click file and open with..
[03:27] <temp0070> n8tuser:  how does interfaces play w/ networkmanager
[03:27] <temp0070> ?
[03:27] <n8tuser> lirel-> i have no idea
[03:27] <lekremyelsew> i got a new mouse, and it has 3rd button on the side, can i make it do anything, cuz it does nothing right now
[03:28] <temp0070> n8tuser:  no.. eth0 direct to isp eth1 to router inside the biz
[03:28] <SeaPhor> Bigblackbunny, I know you prolly have, but can you make sure its turned "on" by default at boot, my laptop is not...
[03:28] <n8tuser> temp0070-> can you please read the man pages, you seem to ignore what i suggested
[03:28] <jrib> lekremyelsew: you can use imwheel or xbindkeys (you'll have to google some documentation or read their man pages)
[03:28] <Spirits-Sight> jrib: how do I conect to the other system that is using VNC on it
[03:28] <WebcamWonder> !vnc
[03:28] <tensei> skry^, does that set it as a default, IE, i play MP3's and it uses totem as the default.. is that good for MP3's?
[03:28] <lekremyelsew> jrib, thx
[03:29] <jrib> Spirits-Sight: I hear a lot of stuff about vinagre, never used it
[03:29] <Skry^> tensei, or if you want to change it permanently right click -> properties -> open with
[03:29] <n8tuser> temp0070-> are you also using your box as a router?
[03:29] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : Make sure what is turned on? If you mean the wireless network conection program, yes, it is. It connected imidiatly to my neighbor's wireless when I turned the laptop on
[03:29] <temp0070> n8tuser:  yes its the firewall
[03:29] <peepsalot> how do I make it so that firefox will stop highlighting every occurence of a google search keyword on a page?
[03:29] <Tmob> Sylphid, http://pastebin.com/m30c2a8df
[03:30] <Skry^> tensei, sorry, i lag :P you can play mp3s with totem but i personally would recommend exaile or amarok for that purpose.
[03:30] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: that was SeaPhor
[03:30] <n8tuser> temp0070-> okay, so you can set a static ip address to your eth1, once more, please  man interfaces
[03:30] <Sylphid> Tmob, .....doh... overlooked u were missing a rule ... $IPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
[03:30] <temp0070> n8tuser:  it also runs bind.. the idea is to serve the internal dns from my box and have it relay to the isp as needed
[03:30] <Bigblackbunny> jrib : What is SeaPhor?
[03:30] <SeaPhor> Bigblackbunny, no, the card itself, there is a button or a switch, or a function key to toggle it on/off
[03:30] <Sylphid> Tmob, crap had that backwards
[03:30] <jrib> Bigblackbunny: he's a user of this channel trying to help you :)
[03:31] <Sylphid> Tmob, $IPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT
[03:31] <JasonWoof> I've booted the intrepid beta install CD, but the installer (and parted and fdisk) can't read the partition table of my disk. It's a mac partition table.
[03:31] <temp0070> n8tuser:  got it :)
[03:31] <JasonWoof> I know the disk is valid enough, because the main partition is auto-mounted on the desktop
[03:31] <Bigblackbunny> SeaPhor: Ah, that is always turned on
[03:31] <jrib> JasonWoof: did you read the release notes?  Make sure nothing is mounted
[03:31] <Tmob> Sylphid, umm.. the weird thing is its wrking now.. but didn't work yesterday after update.. think thats the rule?
[03:31] <carpeliam> !alsa
[03:32] <temp0070> thakns.. n8tuser the /etc/resolve.conf is getting its dns and domain from teh eth0 external nic... networkmanager is picking that up.    how do I get it to use only <IP_ADDRESS> and my internal domain?
[03:32] <ttseug> ls
[03:32] <n8tuser> temp0070-> great, man pages is our friend
[03:32] <SeaPhor> Bigblackbunny, what if you turn it off at the switch, does nm reflect the change?
[03:32] <Sylphid> Tmob, the rules that you pastebin'ed pass traffic from local out but dont pass external in
[03:32] <temp0070> n8tuser:  i am a fan of man and websearches... just still learning thogh
[03:32] <rogan> Problem here guys I have a folder I cannot delete at all. it was in my trash bin before i upgraded to intrepid and now it wontdelete.. I can take it out of the trash bit and view contents but it just wont delete. I get no error message
[03:32] <JasonWoof> $ sudo parted /dev/sdb print       says: Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
[03:33] <ttseug> How do I mount a device which I do not know the name or location of (Ubuntu Hardy)?
[03:33] <Bigblackbunny> SeaPhor : All it does is turnes off the wireless card.
[03:33] <n8tuser> temp0070-> if you do that, then your box will not be able to resolve the outside ip addresses
[03:33] <Tmob> Sylphid, yea, i see whatyou mean, but its strange that i didn't have to have that rule for all this time
[03:33] <trisinger> anyone know how i can copy a partition to another on the fly, i cant use dd because the 2nd partitions is about 30gb smaller.  i want to do it in a partimage kind of way where only the used space is copied...  i was trying to pipe an instance of "partimage save" into "partimage restore" but i didnt realize partimage had a gui that seems manditory.  any suggestions?  i have 4 local ubuntu repositories (hardy/intrepid,i3
[03:33] <trisinger> 86/x86_64) and i need them on another hd... about 99gb
[03:33] <memeemeee> ok so I am back to square one here. my computer refuses to contact the router. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 my hardware LEDs are working, I have set static ip info in /etc/network/interfaces and I have now tried 2 different ethernet cards (in different slots) with the same results! please help me! people last time seemed to think it was a hardware problem but I'm sure there's something were missing here!
[03:33] <Tmob> Sylphid, thanks for your help
[03:33] <Skry^> ttseug, what kind of a device?
[03:33] <Tmob> Sylphid, i'll reset the router wiring and see if that works
[03:33] <histo_> memeemeee: Maybe a cable problem?
[03:33] <ttseug> skry^ it's a mp3 player USB
[03:33] <Toeplitz> I just installed 8.10 and Skype doesn't work. When I try to make a call I get the following error: "Problem with audio playback". I have tried tweaking all of the settings in Sounds and it doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[03:33] <histo_> memeemeee: what type of nics have you tried
[03:34] <Tmob> Sylphid, btw, do you know if atheros support is removed in ibex? My PCI wifi card doesn't show up anymore.. used to work fine on hardy
[03:34] <arrrghhh> so i can get twinview to work and my tv is at its max res.  but i can't get separate X screens to work or max res on my main monitor.
[03:34] <hubar> what plugins do you use for windows media player? I have totem/gecko media plugin/mplayer media plugin...
[03:34] <Sylphid> Tmob, my guess is that the nat rule is an automatic forward everything but the other rules limit it... so the rules that you have set allow all external connections in but only new connections out
[03:34] <JasonWoof> jrib ok, I unmounted everything
[03:34] <JasonWoof> jrib: parted still can't read the partition table
[03:34] <rogan> Problem here guys I have a folder I cannot delete at all. it was in my trash bin before i upgraded to intrepid and now it wontdelete.. I can take it out of the trash bit and view contents but it just wont delete. I get no error message
[03:34] <refriedbeans> Hi, how do you disable "tapping" on a mouse pad on Kubuntu?
[03:35] <Skry^> ttseug, go to terminal, plug in the player, wait a sec, type dmesg and it should show you the device (/dev/something) then sudo mount /dev/something /mnt
[03:35] <Sylphid> Tmob, not that i know of... do you have ubuntu-restricted-modules installed
[03:35] <Bigblackbunny> SeaPhor : All it does is turnes off the wireless card.
[03:35] <jrib> JasonWoof: might be a different issue then.  Restarting the installer fails as well right?
[03:35] <ttseug> Skry^, Thanks, I'll try it.
[03:35] <histo> memeemeee: what type of network cards did you try?
[03:35] <memeemeee> I've tried cables. know it's not the cables. I've used MArvell Tech PCI-e and just purchased a Realtek Semiconductor gigabit
[03:35] <n8tuser> rogan-> ls -la  ofthatdir    lets see what you got
[03:35] <JasonWoof> sudo parted -l    shows this error: Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
[03:35] <SeaPhor> Bigblackbunny, and nm does not see the change?
[03:35] <trisinger> any ideason copying a partion on the fly while still skipping unused blocks
[03:35] <memeemeee> I've tried cables. know it's not the cables. I've used MArvell Tech PCI-e and just purchased a Realtek Semiconductor gigabit -histo
[03:35] <Bigblackbunny> SeaPhor : what is nm?
[03:35] <histo> memeemeee: well the real tek should definately work
[03:35] <Samus_Aran> jrib: there are numerous bug reports about it, so I'm not sure which is the main/official one.  here's an example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/252094
[03:36] <n8tuser> trisinger-> that seems way too low level, i dont know if any tools can
[03:36] <JasonWoof> can I convert the partitiontable from mac format to msdos format and save one of the partitions?
[03:36] <histo> memeemeee: perhaps you are setting a static ip outside of the routers range
[03:36] <memeemeee> histo, that's why I purchased it. is sky2 the driver?
[03:36] <Tmob> Sylphid, nop.. just installed it
[03:36] <rhsanborn> I may have been able to get X server to start, but no mouse now...
[03:36] <Tmob> Sylphid, thats probably the issue.. once again thanks!
[03:36] <SeaPhor> Bigblackbunny, nm = network manager, the applet by the clock that shows your network settings
[03:36] <histo> memeemeee: no it should be like rt something or other.
[03:36] <jrib> JasonWoof: check out bug 86509 maybe
[03:36] <Tmob> Sylphid, will have to go offline to test the new setup.. ttyl
[03:36] <trisinger> n8tuser, im on a server there is no real gui...  i should be able to do anything
[03:37] <Bigblackbunny> SeaPhor : Ill try it.
[03:37] <KnomeDE> my res only goes up to 1024x768 when i use nv accelerated drivers
[03:37] <histo> memeemeee: try pcimodules
[03:37] <cognitiaclaeves> What is LTSP chroot used for?
[03:37] <trisinger> i would use dd but the partition is a little smaller
[03:37] <n8tuser> trisinger-> that seems way too low level, i dont know if any tools can..not even speaking of gui tool
[03:37] <rogan> n8tuser whats dir for trash
[03:37] <memeemeee> actually I've tried the same network/interfaces info on my laptop with no problems so it's not the ip.
[03:38] <histo> memeemeee: that will show you modules running for all pci hardware
[03:38] <Samus_Aran> jrib: what was the security issue in 8.04, and wouldn't it just be fixed by an apt-get upgrade ?
[03:38] <n8tuser> trisinger-> i dont think dd has options to skip and how would you know which to skip?
[03:38] <jrib> Samus_Aran: that bug just shows people claiming degraded performance in intrepid.  In any case, you can just install 8.04 and try to downgrade to whatever package you feel 8.04 had that was better
[03:38] <ekow> I have the Realtek RTL8187b wireless card, which is supposed to work out of box with Ibex, I can connect to my wireless network but the internet still doesn't work, any help with this please?
[03:38] <memeemeee> ok. so the r8169 module is showing up but when I look at dmesg it shows sky2 errors relating to eth1
[03:38] <JamesJr> Is anyone from the UK and willing to beta test (basically load) a website?
[03:38] <n8tuser> rogan  ls -la  direcotry
[03:38] <histo> memeemeee: no idea what sky2 is sry
[03:38] <jrib> Samus_Aran: 8.04.1 is 8.04 with upgrades, so if you claim 8.04.1 has the issue, the upgrade would give you the same issue
[03:38] <histo> maybe someone else would know
[03:39] <memeemeee> it's one of the modules. how do I make the proper module handle the appropriate card?
[03:39] <n8tuser> ekow-> paste in pastebin the results of your   iwconfig ;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and route -n   please
[03:39] <Samus_Aran> jrib: this is on a new laptop I bought for my father.  I have never tried 8.04 on this laptop, only got it yesterday and installed 8.10 on it.  the Intel drivers that come with 8.10 are totally buggy
[03:39] <trisinger> n8tuser, partimage can do it but it has the extra step of copying to an image file THEN restoring from that.  i dont have enough space for an image and it seems redundant.  i just want to go from an external 250gb to an internal 160gb
[03:39] <histo> memeemeee: you can rmmod the module you don't want.
[03:39] <Samus_Aran> jrib: if compiz is on, then all other GL apps produce incorrect layering and tons of glitches.  if compiz is off, then certain glitches remain
[03:39] <memeemeee> also histo-- the card is showing up eth1_rename should I rename it? if so-- how?
[03:40] <jrib> Samus_Aran: you claimed 8.04.1 had these bugs.  Why not try 8.04.1?
[03:40] <Randall1> so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why?
[03:40] <KnomeDE> my resolution only goes up to 1024x768 when i use nvidia accelerated drivers, any fix?\
[03:40] <n8tuser> trisinger-> well, if partimage can, go for it..thats a dilemna for backing up stuff on same hd..and it is slow
[03:40] <Samus_Aran> jrib: I tried some of the suggested xorg.conf changes, and while they removed the glitching, they end up crashing Xorg and it won't reload until a reboot
[03:40] <memeemeee> here's hoping I don't need sky2 for anything else!
[03:40] <temp0070> n8tuser:  so /etc/resolve.conf comes from the isp now via networkmanager automatically.  my  internal bind will hit a known dns server externally
[03:40]  * memeemeee crossing fingers
[03:40] <ekow> n8tuser: ok one minute while i get it all
[03:40] <temp0070> host do I get network manager to put my specific domain and nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf ?
[03:41] <Samus_Aran> jrib: I would rather than 8.10 working, as I've already spent many hours configuring things on this system, will be a pain to reinstall, only to find it's the same
[03:41]  * memeemeee rebooting -- pray with me histo
[03:41] <n8tuser> temp0070-> you have to add manually
[03:41] <jrib> Samus_Aran: best to just ask for help with that directly then
[03:41] <Samus_Aran> KnomeDE: it probably isn't able to detect your monitor settings
[03:41] <n8tuser> temp0070-> or with a script
[03:41] <Randall1> so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why? this is on 8.10
[03:41] <histo> memeemeee: rmmod will not remove it on next boot only immediately
[03:41] <temp0070> n8tuser:  I did add manually and it works.. but networkmanager keeps overwritting it.. is there a specific script to modifty?
[03:41] <histo> memeemeee: you would have to blacklist it to remove on boot
[03:42] <memeemeee> oh- good to know. I rebooted ;) so i should try rmmod and then restart networking?
[03:42] <n8tuser> temp0070-> then you just have to keep manually adding it, or you can use preload i think... again the 3rd time,  man interfaces
[03:42] <booksbuggy> anyone know how to do the sound configuration?
[03:42] <KnomeDE> Samus_Aran: the standard driver goes higher, which means that the driver for the monitor is working properly
[03:42] <ReXiO> hi all, can anyone tell if I should first install ubuntu, then Vista, if I want a dual-boot machine?
[03:42] <|neon|> after i make changes to my theme they look ok , but when i reboot the chages are gone  so ihave to configure my theme again, any ideas on how can i make the changes stay?
[03:42] <histo> !dualboot > ReXiO
[03:42] <Samus_Aran> jrib: do you know anything about Intel drivers on laptops ?  I have one work laptop running 8.something with no issues.  other than that, I've never used Intel
[03:42] <memeemeee> so anyone-- know how to rename eth1_rename to eth1?
[03:43] <khanhpv> 2
[03:43] <khanhpv> ai o/
[03:43] <Bigblackbunny> SeaPhor : Nope, still can't find my network, but I can see one more of my neighbors networks now :)
[03:43] <booksbuggy> anyone know how to configure the sound?
[03:43] <jrib> Samus_Aran: sorry, I have a laptop with one but it "just works" so I don't know anything about it
[03:43] <khanhpv> ai nguoi viet nam ko?
[03:43] <Samus_Aran> KnomeDE: your best chance of success is to find the specifications for your monitor, and enter those modes into your monitor section of xorg.conf
[03:43] <ReXiO> wow , thx histo
[03:43] <booksbuggy> i am using gnome
[03:43] <Samus_Aran> jrib: 8.04 or 8.10 ?
[03:43] <Samus_Aran> jrib: or earlier
[03:44] <jrib> Samus_Aran: 8.04 and 8.10
[03:44] <gin0> Are you need sex ??   click here : http://www.fotovacaciones.telefonica.com/catalogo.php?voto=1&codigo=WA0AA3&pagina=1
[03:44] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: you mean like System --> Preferences --> Sound?
[03:44] <Samus_Aran> jrib: on the same laptop ?
[03:44] <booksbuggy> tried that
[03:44] <KnomeDE> Samus_Aran: they're all proper there, ive checked, its really baffling me
[03:44] <booksbuggy> doesn't work
[03:44] <n8tuser> temp0070-> rather is the prepend on your dhclient.conf
[03:44] <invader> does wubi work with ubuntu 8.10?
[03:44] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: what are you trying to do?
[03:44] <booksbuggy> get sound to play when i use firefox
[03:44] <jrib> Samus_Aran: yes
[03:44] <Samus_Aran> KnomeDE: what is in your monitor section of xorg.conf ?  (pastebin)
[03:44] <invader> tyvm
[03:44] <Bigblackbunny> SeaPhor : Nope, still can't find my network, but I can see one more of my neighbors networks now :)
[03:45] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: did you get a noise when gnome started up?
[03:45] <Nikyo> Hello all, Just would like to know what Anti-Virus scanner that you use. I know there is Clam-AV out there.. just looking to see what everyone is using, please.
[03:45] <Randall1> so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why? i am on 8.10
[03:45] <Samus_Aran> jrib: out of curiousity, which chipset ?  (lspci|grep -i vga)
[03:45] <memeemeee> so histo -- now it wont find the device at all
[03:45] <jrib> Nikyo: you don't need one.  clam is really just for mail servers with windows users
[03:45] <booksbuggy> hmmm didn't check that
[03:45] <jrib> Samus_Aran: laptops off right now
[03:46] <trisinger> is it possible to make a new stdout device?
[03:46] <histo> memeemeee: which device?
[03:46] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: what do you mean by that ?
[03:46] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: what happens when you go to the sound settings?
[03:46] <erth> Nikyo, despite FUD to the contrary, AV is totally unnecessary on Linux
[03:46] <n8tuser> trisinger-> what do you meant by that?
[03:46] <q0r3> hey all.  i'm trying to copy all of my files from a 500gb ext3 partition to a 700gb ntfs partition.  i open up nautilus as root by "gksu nautilus", but when it's preparing to copy the files, i get the error message "Error stating file 'path/to/file': Stale NFS file handle".  this only happens for the one file.  any ideas?
[03:46] <booksbuggy> well when i click on test a weird horn sound starts running
[03:46] <bigmack83> inmy Hardy install i updated everything, but in the update manager thereare a bunch of packages that are greyed out and for some reason unselectable to update them.why does it do this?
[03:46] <n8tuser> trisinger-> you can use  dup2 in a c program
[03:46] <trisinger> so i can output an image file to that device and be assured that it will be free of stdout/stderr messages, then read "partimage restore" from that device
[03:46] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: 0> is standard input, 1> is standard output, 2> is standard error, 3> and above are outputs that you create yourself
[03:47] <KnomeDE> Samus_Aran: ok got it, it is incorrect in xorg.conf, i guess i should have checked it WHILE i had the accelerated driver enabled
[03:47] <Nikyo> jrib: I thought there were some worms that affected Linux, and not just on mail servers. If I am worng.. I am sorry about that..
[03:47] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: so the sound preferences do work...
[03:47] <booksbuggy> it does
[03:47] <histo> memeemeee: network support should just be working right out of the box for the card you described. Your problem is lying elsewhere. Like settings etc... Try DHCP'ng from the router instead of static.
[03:47] <caveman26> how do I set my drivers to automatically scale up my desktop when I run a lower resolution on my LCD. I use nvidia
[03:47] <jrib> !virus | Nikyo
[03:47] <booksbuggy> but from firefox it doesn't play anything
[03:47] <histo> memeemeee: then if that works then you can play with settings
[03:47] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: so what exactly doesn't work?
[03:47] <Randall1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/68202/ can't figure out how to fix?
[03:47] <Nikyo> jrib: Thanks.. I'll read that.
[03:47] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: firefox is a web browser... where's it supposed to make noise?
[03:47] <booksbuggy> firefox won't play the sound of the videos i am watching
[03:48] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: what videos?
[03:48] <thiebaude> !opera
[03:48] <Samus_Aran> KnomeDE: autodetection of the monitor works most of the time, but sometimes it fails to read the EDID information, and then you need to specify the specs for it
[03:48] <histo> !botabuse > thiebaude
[03:48] <booksbuggy> well browser ones
[03:48] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, how would i specify that as a devive though?
[03:48] <Skry^> caveman26, with nvidia-settings
[03:48] <Frijolie> how do you get rid of this piece of garbage aka PulseAudio?
[03:48] <KnomeDE> Samus_Aran: thanks
[03:48] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: there are several technologies used for videos online
[03:48] <booksbuggy> ?
[03:48] <ekow2> n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68205/
[03:48] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: /msg me if it's NSFW
[03:48] <Samus_Aran> KnomeDE: also if your screen is turned off while Xorg is loading, it will fail to read EDID information
[03:49] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, partimage expects the image to be a location, i was going to point it to /dev/std*, can i just make up a number?
[03:49] <histo> booksbuggy: flash wmv avi etc... all can be browser based rm ogv
[03:49] <thiebaude> sorry i dont open PM's without permission
[03:49] <memeemeee> ok histo. so disabling sky2 made the new pcicard disappear.
[03:49] <histo> !botabuse | thiebaude
[03:49] <memeemeee> I'm doing a little research on sky2 and what that is
[03:49] <djhash> is there a known DVD issue, in terms of DVD movies being played.. none of the three.. mplayer, totem, vlc can play the DVD.. i am aware of the retracting tray issue.. are there others
[03:49] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: there is probably a far safer way to do what you're trying to do.  if you can explain your goal/objective, I might be able to offer a suggestion
[03:49] <jrib> djhash: did you install dvdcss?
[03:49] <n8tuser> ekow2-> you dhclient was not able to acquire an ip address, and therefore it was not able to modify your route table,   sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:50] <Nikyo> erth: Thanks for the comment about the AV.
[03:50] <histo> memeemeee: Sry I can't help you more right now i'm kind of distracted perhaps someone else can get you on the right track.
[03:50] <ybeddyj> how do i change the browser associated with xdg?
[03:50] <Sajuta> djhash: Are you getting some sort of error? Possibly about encryption?
[03:50] <arrrghhh> i can't get separate x screens to work with the new xorg
[03:50] <jimmio> My friend is running 8.04, and his USB controller is not detected at ALL. lsusb returns nothing at ALL....
[03:50] <ybeddyj> !xdg
[03:50] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, i need to copy 99gb of data from a 174gb partion to a 160 gb partition on the fly and still remove the unused blocks from the result
[03:50] <caveman26> I did that, but every time I reboot, my screen is small again, I have to set it scaling up every time log in, how do I fix that and make it permanent. I like to run 1280x1024, my LCD is native at 1600x1200 but compiz is sluggish at that rez
[03:50] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: are you watching flash movies? embedded WMVs? there are many ways to watch videos in firefox, and they work very differently. If I don't know what software you're trying to run, I can't help
[03:50] <ybeddyj> how do i change the browser associated with xdg?
[03:50] <jimmio> !>Jimmio
[03:50] <booksbuggy> let me check
[03:51] <booksbuggy> i think the flash plugin
[03:51] <booksbuggy> adobe flash player one
[03:51] <core_> hello can anyone tell me how do i start dialup connection on startup?
[03:51] <jrib> !defaultapp | ybeddyj
[03:51] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, i have a partition with nothing on it but repositories, and i need to clone it essentially.  i would use dd i suppose but the target is smaller
[03:51] <jrib> ybeddyj: or maybe system -> preferences -> preferred applications  should do what you want
[03:51] <booksbuggy> jw flv player 3.21
[03:51] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: ahh, now we are getting somewher. right-click the flash movie and go to settings. iirc there's a section on sound
[03:51] <RHorse> booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash
[03:52] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: ahh, that'll do it. adobe's flash player is the only one that works most of the time
[03:52] <booksbuggy> well the only thing is that it is the latest version
[03:52] <jimmio> Any ideas? This is preventing him from doing just about everything... HP Pavillion 061...
[03:52] <Venin> is there a timer for each time you have to type a password when you use sudo?
[03:52] <Frijolie> anyone?
[03:52] <booksbuggy> and i can't see sound settings
[03:52] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: why are you trying to copy the partition raw, instead of mounting and copying the files (rsync, tar, cp, etc.)
[03:52] <booksbuggy> don't see
[03:52] <RHorse> booksbuggy, where did you dl it, and when?
[03:52] <Skry^> caveman26, goto system > preferences > sessions and add nvidia-settings --load-config-only
[03:53] <jimmio> His time is also advancing twice the speed it should...
[03:53] <home_> saludo
[03:53] <home_> alguien escribe español?
[03:53] <booksbuggy> well i'll check now
[03:53] <Sajuta> !es > home_
[03:53] <JasonWoof> booksbuggy: when you right-click the flash movie, does it show that it's adobe plugin?
[03:53] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, ugh i was doing that but its taking god forever, and sometimes rsynce is throwing weird i/o errors.  it should be about to copy alot faster than it is... damn near full usb support speed
[03:53] <djhash> jrib: aah.. completely forgot about that.. i belive its medibuntu stuff right
[03:54] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: you will not get more than 1 to 2% better speed from doing it raw
[03:54] <jrib> djhash: yep
[03:54] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: if there are I/O errors, then the Linux kernel will retry several times to read the sector
[03:54] <booksbuggy> okay on the top is is about jv flv player 3.2 then under that setting then under that is adobe flash player 9
[03:54] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: that is what will cause it to go very slowly.  look in dmesg for the complete list of hard drive errors
[03:54] <home_> hey
[03:54] <booksbuggy> menu wise
[03:54] <home_> help me
[03:55] <home_> i have a problem
[03:55] <ybeddyj> thk jrib
[03:55] <booksbuggy> some thing like this
[03:55] <K_Dallas> Hi guys! What is the minimal set of packages to install after a fresh hardy installation to add audio-video playing support for the majority of a/v formats, e.g. wmv, flac, rm. Thanks (I just don't want to install too many players and codecs etc. Have medibuntu already added)
[03:55] <home_> for upgrade my ubuntu
[03:55] <bigmack83> hmm. on my ubuntu 8.04 laptop my update manager says all is up to date, but in the update manager window there are a bunch of greyed out packages that i cant select to update. why cant i update those packages?
[03:55] <booksbuggy> about jv flv player
[03:55] <booksbuggy> settings
[03:55] <booksbuggy> about adobe flash player 9
[03:55] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, alright ill just do a copy then i thought it would be a bigger difference.  going to take like 30 hours
[03:55] <core_> hello can anyone tell me how do i start dialup connection on startup?
[03:56] <Skry^> K_Dallas, gstreamer-plugins-*
[03:56] <WebcamWonder> K_Dallas, A player like mplayer or vlc should be able to play most common formats out of the box
[03:56] <booksbuggy> maybe i should see if there are other flash player plugin installed
[03:57] <jimmio> Anyone have a clue? This isn't the Ubuntu I remember.... =/
[03:57] <K_Dallas> Skry^, i will look into it. WebcamWonder would vlc allow me to save portions of video i am playing in real time?
[03:57] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: the only difference in speed is that copying the files will read the directory structure (random reads), whereas the direct dd method is reading from the disk in order (sequentially)
[03:57] <n8tuser> K_Dallas-> pt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse vlc mplayer mplayer-fonts
[03:57] <WebcamWonder> K_Dallas, If you want to do a copy of portions of file, look into encoders like mencoder or ffmpeg
[03:57] <n8tuser> apt*
[03:58] <RHorse> booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash
[03:58] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: you're better off using rsync, as it will report at the end about about failures to copy
[03:58] <core_> how do i make auto dialup connection to the Internet when the computer is started???
[03:58] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, i just do see why it tops out at like a meg a second
[03:58] <booksbuggy> what is the latest version?
[03:58] <booksbuggy> 10?
[03:58] <WebcamWonder> K_Dallas, But, I do believe they have certain level of basic funcationality of dumping stream. Check the man page for more details
[03:58] <K_Dallas> thanks n8tuser. WebcamWonder i used mencoder once but it was really hard to manipulate as i needed to know exactly the time stamp of portion i wanted to copy
[03:58] <RHorse> booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash,  report back.
[03:58] <booksbuggy> because i already got 9
[03:58] <booksbuggy> alright
[03:59] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: have you confirmed that it's not just a slow disk because it's about to die ?  if it's USB, have you confirmed it is using something above USB 1.1 ?
[03:59] <K_Dallas> WebcamWonder, i look into it again. thanks
[03:59] <WebcamWonder> K_Dallas, So you basically want to timestamp while the file is being played? I think mplayer supported writing edl which did that
[03:59] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: look in dmesg when you plug the drive in, it will mention either "a new high speed USB device" or "low speed" or "full speed"
[03:59] <RHorse> booksbuggy, if the config is wrong the dl will fix it prolly
[03:59] <mrono> I'm trying to SSH tunnel through a proxy, can anyone help me?
[03:59] <booksbuggy> oh
[03:59] <core_> anyone can help me?
[04:00] <core_> with dial up?
[04:00] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: high speed is the only one which will give fast performance.  full speed is USB 1.1 and very slow.  low speed is only for mice and such.
[04:00] <WebcamWonder> K_Dallas, Here you go. > http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2005/06/make_your_own_phantom_edit_wit.html
[04:00] <K_Dallas> WebcamWonder, that would be nice. thanks. have to look into the man pages. havent played with it except normal video playing
[04:00] <lindenle> Hello I am having trouble logging in with gdm using ldap authentication, can someone help me figure out what is wrong?
[04:00] <Toeplitz> Anyone having Skype issues with 8.10?
[04:00] <K_Dallas> WebcamWonder, appreciate it. noted
[04:00] <jimmio> USB Controller not recognized; System time moving at exactly double normal speed; HP Pavillion A1230N... Can't use Computer... XP works perfectly....
[04:00] <Toeplitz> I can't get around this Playback audio error.
[04:01] <RHorse> !welcome | core
[04:01] <MindVirus> When I right-click stuff the right click menu only shows for a split-second, then disappears, unless I hold the button.
[04:02] <MindVirus> Any suggestions?
[04:02] <Atomic_UE> curious....could someone explain to me what this command actually does?    :(){ :|:& };:
[04:02] <Samus_Aran> MindVirus: sounds like Mac OS
[04:02] <MindVirus> I know.
[04:02] <MindVirus> It's angering me.
[04:02] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: that is a "fork bomb"
[04:02] <booksbuggy> restarting firefox
[04:02] <MindVirus> Vexing me, if you will.
[04:02] <vorian> Atomic_UE: please stop with that
[04:02] <werdnus> I lost the game
[04:03] <h00k> Atomic_UE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb
[04:03] <Atomic_UE> Samus_Aran, so it just forks itself forever using um ram?
[04:03] <MindVirus> Atomic_UE, it makes a function called : that runs : and pipes the output to : in a new thread, or fork.

[04:03] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: it defines a function which calls itself twice in the background
[04:03] <MindVirus> Then runs it.
[04:03] <Coder365_> is us.archive.ubuntu.com having latency issues?
[04:03] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: it will continue to create processes until it hits the limit for active processes, then if you're lucky, die off.
[04:04] <MindVirus> But you probably won't be lucky.
[04:04] <MindVirus> So don't run it.
[04:04] <booksbuggy> RHorse: thanks it worked
[04:04] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: the last time I tried that one, it created a few hundred processes, then died, about 2 seconds after starting
[04:04] <RHorse> booksbuggy, you're welcome
[04:04] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: worst case scenario your system would get too slow to do anthing but reboot
[04:04] <Samus_Aran> *anything
[04:05] <MindVirus> It really doesn't do much malicious in terms of data.
[04:05] <MindVirus> It just slows your computer to a halt.
[04:05] <elementz> hi everybody
[04:05] <Atomic_UE> Samus_Aran, ok cool thanks for the info
[04:06] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: that particular one is popular because it looks like random smiley faces and is quite short.
[04:06] <elementz> i am trying to use my webserver as a SOCKS proxy via doing this: ssh -D 8080<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:06] <Bikeguy> is there any way to make gnome automatically mount other partitions/hard drives as they are detected/when you log in?
[04:06] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: function my_fork { my_fork | my_fork & };     my_fork
[04:06] <elementz> but that seems to somehow not work. i do get a ssh shell, but when i eg. set the proxy settings in ff to route all trafic to localhost at 8080 nothing happens
[04:07] <Samus_Aran> Atomic_UE: that's another way to write it
[04:07] <elementz> am i overlooking something?
[04:07] <roro_> #ubuntu-fr
[04:07] <WebcamWonder> !fstab
[04:07] <WPPWAH> elementz, try ssh -R 8080:host:8080
[04:07] <jimmio> Using 8.04; USB Controller not recognized; System time moving at exactly double normal speed; HP Pavillion A1230N... Can't use Computer... XP works perfectly.... Any ideas?
[04:07] <joseph> hi everyone
[04:07] <GarryFre> That's funny I tried that command and about 3 seconds in I think I heard my computer emit a whimper.
[04:08] <WebcamWonder> !fstab | Bikeguy
[04:08] <memeemeee> so halt for grub is not the same as for bash?
[04:08] <elementz> WPPWAH: thx will try
[04:08] <joseph> need help with my wireless
[04:08] <Bikeguy> WebcamWonder: would gnome still put the mounted drives on my desktop and whatnot?
[04:09] <Tmob> Sylphid, there?
[04:09] <h00k> !ask | joseph
[04:09] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, it doesnt tell me anything but two messages about the cache
[04:09] <WebcamWonder> Bikeguy, Truthfully, I don't know. I don't deal with external stuff at all
[04:09] <Tmob> Sylphid, i hooked up the router to the server, but i can't open any websites
[04:09] <GarryFre> !girls
[04:09] <BunTai> i cant see youtube video on intrepid...im using firefox..any help?
[04:09] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, i am tailing the log, and thats all i get with i plug it in.  it wasnt plugged in when the computer booted
[04:09] <Sajuta> LOL
[04:09] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: --itemize-changes
[04:09] <Sajuta> Girls on the internet? I don't believe it.
[04:09] <Bikeguy> WebcamWonder: well thanks for the solution
[04:09] <joseph> wireless worked in intrepid then i installed studio and now i cant access wireless internet, i installed the restricted drivers and reboot with no luck
[04:09] <h00k> !flash | BunTai
[04:10] <mneptok> Sajuta: believe it. my wife is on Freenode.
[04:10] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: oops, you're talking about dmesg ?  I thought you meant rsync
[04:10] <Sajuta> mneptok: Hah. ;) I'm a girl, too. A mom at that!
[04:10] <jimmio> Using 8.04; USB Controller not recognized; System time moving at exactly double normal speed; HP Pavillion A1230N... Can't use Computer... XP works perfectly.... Any ideas? Could it maybe be caused by using 32 bit on the 64 bit AMD?
[04:10] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: you can't tail dmesg, it's a kernel buffer
[04:10] <ybeddyj> !defaultapp
[04:10] <mneptok> Sajuta: i hope your husband does enough of the child-rearing to have made the sex worth it. ;)
[04:10] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, im tailing the file in var log
[04:11] <kanhiya78> hello everybody
[04:11] <Sajuta> mneptok: ^_^
[04:11] <kanhiya78> i have a small problem
[04:11] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: what is "the file" ?  dmesg is a realtime buffer from the kernel, it has no log file
[04:11] <kanhiya78> can anybody solve it
[04:11] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: if there is one in /var/log, then it would be something that is recorded when the computer first starts
[04:11] <kanhiya78> please helpme
[04:11] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: do this instead: watch -n 0.5 'dmesg|tail -n 20'
[04:11] <WebcamWonder> !anyone | kanhiya78
[04:12] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, it popped some stuff up when i plugged it in
[04:12] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: then you can plug your USB device in, and see immediately the messages
[04:12] <joseph> wireless worked in intrepid then i installed studio intrepid and now i cant access wireless internet, i installed the restricted drivers and reboot with no luck
[04:12] <Tmob> Sylphid, is there anyway i can diagnoise why this is happening?
[04:12] <Zerodamage> I need help and could not get any earlier.  I installed a Hauppauge 1600 capture card on 8.10. Works fine but Nvidia restricted drivers will NOT work.  I've tried everything.  I need my video to work.  Can anyone help?
[04:12] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: what is the log file called ?
[04:12] <crashsystems> does anyone know how to tell from the CLI if an install of Ubuntu is 32bit or 64bit?
[04:12] <kanhiya78> ok
[04:12] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: anyway, is it "low speed", "full speed" or "high speed" ?
[04:12] <elementz> WPPWAH: ummh, i seem to misunderstand the syntax<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:12] <kanhiya78> i have accidently remooved trash icon
[04:12] <freetown> crashsystems, uname -i
[04:13] <Samus_Aran> crashsystems: uname --machine
[04:13] <WPPWAH> huh?
[04:13] <elementz> WPPWAH: sry
[04:13] <WPPWAH> what's up
[04:13] <elementz> WPPWAH: wrong paste
[04:13] <crashsystems> thanks
[04:13] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, well thats the thing that never came up when i plugged it in only "[sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through"
[04:13] <kanhiya78> now what to do get it again on panel
[04:13] <Zerodamage> Anyone?
[04:13] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: please use dmesg like I said.  it always states the speed of the device
[04:13] <freetown> crashsystems, uname -m sorry
[04:14] <elementz> WPPWAH: i meant to post this:  ssh -R 8080:mylogin@myserver.com:8080
[04:14] <WebcamWonder> kanhiya78, Right click on empty space in the panel, select add to panel, and select trash from the list, hit ok
[04:14] <elementz> WPPWAH: that seems to not work
[04:14] <WPPWAH> oh elementz
[04:14] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, alright ill try it, the command i was using is "tail -n0 -f /var/log/dmesg"
[04:14] <kanhiya78> how do i get trash icon again on panel
[04:14] <WPPWAH> yeah it won't
[04:14] <WPPWAH> here...
[04:14] <JonathanEllis> Hi. Can anyone help me get a logitech Wingman Warrior joystick working? Its the one with the wheel that plugs into a serial port and works like a serial mouse
[04:14] <WPPWAH> try ssh -R 8080:localhost:8080<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:14] <WPPWAH> that's what you probably want
[04:15] <elementz> WPPWAH: ok, thx
[04:15] <kanhiya78> i am new to linux
[04:15] <WPPWAH> just leave localhost as localhost
[04:15] <Zerodamage> I need help and could not get any earlier.  I installed a Hauppauge 1600 capture card on 8.10. Works fine but Nvidia restricted drivers will NOT work.  I've tried everything.  I need my video to work.  Can anyone help?
[04:15] <joseph> anyone know how to setup wireless in intrepid studio?
[04:15] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: you could also do it this way: watch -n 0.5 'dmesg|tac'
[04:16] <Skry^> Zerodamage, how does it not work?
[04:17] <Zerodamage> Skry^ the Nvidia restricted drivers do not load.  The system goes to the screan where I can trouble shoot it or load default config which is the only thing that works.
[04:17] <Venin> is this the right syntax for extending sudo to 120 minutes in sudoers file? Defaults        env_reset, timestamp_timeout=120
[04:17] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, ill try the tac
[04:17] <kanhiya78> can anybody tell me the procedure how to get trash icon on front panel again and i am using linux second time
[04:17] <artidaw> test
[04:17] <WebcamWonder> kanhiya78, Right click on empty space in the panel, select add to panel, and select trash from the list, hit ok
[04:18] <piju> anybody, can i install nautilus 2.24 on hardy ?
[04:18] <Skry^> Zerodamage, and what nvidia card you have?
[04:19] <kanhiya78> no option is there
[04:19] <WebcamWonder> kanhiya78, Which option can't you see?
[04:19] <histo> kanhiya78: its in the list
[04:19] <kanhiya78> ok i will search for it
[04:20] <Zerodamage> Skry^ It is a professional model of a couple of years.  I do nto recall the model right off hand.  It's been working until I installed the capture card.
[04:20] <kanhiya78> i anm using ubuntu 8.10
[04:20] <Elijah> Can anyone get a Sprint U727 modem to just work on 8.10??
[04:20] <histo> kanhiya78: there is a search box on the add to panel screen you can type in trash in the search box
[04:20] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, what i was doinf works i guess my verbosity id low, not all my msg wen to the log.  it says new full speed device
[04:20] <histo> Elijah: that specific of hardware question you should try the forums
[04:21] <piju> anybody, can i install nautilus 2.24 on hardy ?
[04:21] <kanhiya78> please tell me from first step i am confused
[04:21] <Skry^> Zerodamage, go to terminal and do lspci | grep VGA and tell me what you see
[04:21] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: okay, that will give you up to 11 Mbps, or 1.38 MiB/sec
[04:21] <derenrich> !codecs
[04:22] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, is that 1.1?
[04:22] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: that is USB 1.1.  If your hard drive and USB controller are USB 2.0, you should try to get that working
[04:22] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: correct
[04:22] <histo> kanhiya78: Right click on the panel then click "Add to Panel"
[04:22] <histo> kanhiya78: Then select the trash item.
[04:22] <derenrich> !nvidia | derenrich
[04:22] <Zerodamage> skry^ 40:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41 [Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI] (rev a2)
[04:22] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, ahhh yuckk, this is a little mini wd passport hd though, powered through the usb, im not sure if its suppose to be 2.0
[04:22] <kanhiya78> i do right click on desktop but there is no option like add to panel
[04:23] <cognitiaclaeves> what is the name of that apple like selector at the bottom of the screen?
[04:23] <cognitiaclaeves> ( I can't remember what to install / run )
[04:23] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: USB 1.1 has { low speed = very slow, full speed = 11 Mbps }  USB 2.0 has { high speed = 480 Mbps }
[04:23] <WebcamWonder> cognitiaclaeves, Avant Window Manager?
[04:23] <histo> kanhiya78: well thats because the desktop isn't a panel
[04:24] <cognitiaclaeves> WebcamWonder: That's it.  Thanks.  And what a name.
[04:24] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, damn im using a 1.1 controller, this comp is just an extra one in the office
[04:24] <kanhiya78> ok tell me the procedure to add it to desktop
[04:24] <WebcamWonder> cognitiaclaeves, No problem. Was that comment towards my nickname or Avant's? :p
[04:24] <Agent7629> trisinger: you can get a PCI card that gives u USB 2.0 ports - might take some work to get the controller ubuntu friendly, but mine works just fine on default install
[04:24] <cognitiaclaeves> yours. hehe
[04:25] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: you might want to confirm that you have USB 2.0 kernel modules (drivers) loaded.  without them, even if it is a USB 2.0 device, it will only do "full speed" USB 1.1
[04:25] <histo> kanhiya78: hist alt+f2 then type in gconf-editor
[04:25] <kanhiya78> i an new to linux
[04:25] <Foxray> anyone think i'm gonna run into problems if i go on an upgrading spree and upgrade from feisty fawn up to intrepid ibex?
[04:25] <memeemeee> why are some packages "kept back" when I fun apt-get upgrade?
[04:25] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, i greped the dmesg log file and i see "2006 August 4 USB 1.1 open host controller"
[04:25] <trisinger> Agent7629, i think we might have one of those actually
[04:25] <Zerodamage> skry^ any luck?  I've been googling and have tried a dozen things
[04:25] <f|uke> because some packages are not for fun
[04:25] <histo> kanhiya78: Hit <ALT>+F2
[04:25] <WebcamWonder> memeemeee, Left over packages from previous uninstallations?
[04:26] <sebsebseb> right so the backgrounds I have put in Ubuntu, many are titled, and some aren't.  What I would like is for it to be able to keep them as titled/zoomed  whilst giving me a new one after a minute.  I  have searched Google and ubuntu repo for this, but what comes up does not seem to be quite what I want.
[04:26] <histo> kanhiya78: Type in gconf-editor.  Under Apps > Nautilus > Desktop there is an option for th trash icon to be visible on desktop
[04:26] <sebsebseb> tiled above
[04:26] <piju> anybody, can i install nautilus 2.24 on hardy ?
[04:26] <JasonWoof> my partition table is partially corrupted (I can mount the important partition, but fdisk and parted can't display the partition table)
[04:26] <Agent7629> trisinger: i picked one up at bestbuy for 5 extra usb 2.0 spots.. works with default install of 8.04
[04:27] <kanhiya78> please wait
[04:27] <JasonWoof> it is currently a mac format partition table, and I'd prefer msdos format
[04:27] <meoblast001> ok
[04:27] <meoblast001> i have a problem
[04:27] <sebsebseb> piju: yep, but iit's best to always use stuff from repo when you can  normalley
[04:27] <memeemeee> is that what it is WebcamWonder? seems odd that they would even be mentioned? should I run remove to get rid of them?
[04:27] <sebsebseb> piju: expesailly stuff such as gnoem
[04:27] <sebsebseb> gnome
[04:27] <meoblast001> i have a folder with a bunch of files all with the same permissions.... but apache2 only shows 2 of them
[04:27] <JasonWoof> I have discovered the start/end/size positions of the partition I'd like to keep. Can I create an msdos partition table with these same values and it'll work?
[04:27] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, whats the madule name in lsmod
[04:27] <CITguy-Apollo> I am having issues with authentication. I cannot login either at GDM or terminal. Suggestions?
[04:27] <Samus_Aran> JasonWoof: perhaps you don't have the proper partition table formats installed.   I've never used anything but the standard PC ones, but it has dozens of other partition table formats
[04:28] <Samus_Aran> JasonWoof: I think these are available as kernel modules that you load up
[04:28] <WebcamWonder> memeemeee, autoremove should get rid off them
[04:28] <JasonWoof> Samus_Aran: I can mount it just fine
[04:28] <JasonWoof> Samus_Aran: it's just parted/fdisk that don't work
[04:28] <Samus_Aran> JasonWoof: the modules would allow the partitioning program to see it properly
[04:28] <Thraspic> I have installed KDM Theme Manager, but when I load it I get this message: "Can't find Configuration File:   blah blah You must set-up the Login Manager before you can use its themes".  How can I resolve this?
[04:28] <Brucee> it tells me i dont have permission to change a file. i use sudo and i can, how can i log into root as to prevent using sudo
[04:28] <JasonWoof> Samus_Aran: anyway, my real question is can I set up an msdos partition table with my existing partition that was set up when the partition table was mac format?
[04:29] <memeemeee> no WebcamWonder output is "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded"
[04:29] <n8tuser> the filesystem for the /casper/filesystem.squashfs on 8.10 livecd is not mountable in older 7.10 ?  am getting a   SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel
[04:29] <JasonWoof> Samus_Aran: really? any tips on finding these modules?
[04:29] <kanhiya78> i selected it but still there is no icon on desktop
[04:29] <CITguy-Apollo> Thraspic: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[04:29] <WebcamWonder> memeemeee, What command did you run?
[04:29] <Thraspic> CITguy, thanks, Ill go try that
[04:29] <djhash> Brucee: what are you trying to do?
[04:30] <kanhiya78> first i press alt+f2
[04:30] <CITguy-Apollo> Does anybody know why I might lose the ability to authenticate my password?
[04:30] <Brucee> edit a file in vim
[04:30] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: ehci_hcd is the main USB 2.0 module, and then you may also need another one for your specific motherboard
[04:30] <kanhiya78> than type gconf-editor
[04:30] <WebcamWonder> kanhiya78, If I remember correctly, a logout/login is required for that change to take effect
[04:30] <Skry^> Zerodamage, no luck :\ It's kinda strange as it _should_ work.
[04:30] <histo> kanhiya78: YES
[04:30] <memeemeee> WebcamWonder, sudo get-apt autoremove. but that's the output anytime I run apt-get always 6 held back
[04:31] <histo> kanhiya78: or open a terminal and type in gconf-editor
[04:31] <djhash> !root | Brucee
[04:31] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: keep in mind that different USB ports may be USB 2.0 or USB 1.1, so try all your USB plugs
[04:31] <Brucee> ok
[04:31] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, no ehci only ohci
[04:31] <Samus_Aran> trisinger: try loading it then: sudo modprobe ehci_hcd
[04:31] <Spherous> Hey, how can I configure the pulseaudio virtual oss mixer to work with my mic?
[04:32] <Thraspic> CITguy-Apollo, I tried that, selected KDM (which I did when I first installed it) and I get the same error.  I get two options, KDM and GDM,  SHould I pick GDM?
[04:32] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, am right now will be back
[04:32] <memeemeee> also Brucee if you really want to run several root commands without typing sudo over and over (THIS IS BAD ADVICE) type sudo su
[04:32] <WebcamWonder> memeemeee, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html
[04:32] <Samus_Aran> memeemeee: better to do: sudo su -
[04:32] <cHiOs> sudo -s works too?
[04:32] <Samus_Aran> memeemeee: so it loads /etc/profile
[04:32] <CITguy-Apollo> Thraspic: give it a try, wouldn't hurt
[04:33] <histo> memeemeee: sudo is saved for 15minutes
[04:33] <kanhiya78> ok thanks all of you for help ; i am new to linux and trying to get best from it ,i have one problem which is related to resolution i am unable to get higher resolution than 800x640
[04:33] <histo> memeemeee: you don't need to retype your password everytime.
[04:33] <piju> anybody, can i install nautilus 2.24 on hardy ?
[04:33] <Thraspic> CITguy-Apollo Yeah, that didn't work either sadly.
[04:33] <_cb> What is a good Ubuntu IRC? Am using pidgin but imagine there is better
[04:33] <WebcamWonder> _cb, XChat

[04:33] <will_hough> _cb: x-chat
[04:33] <gub> irssi
[04:33] <CITguy-Apollo> Thraspic: sorry, i don't know what else to try
[04:33] <piju> bitchx
[04:33] <n8tuser> please confirm:    the filesystem for the /casper/filesystem.squashfs on 8.10 livecd is not mountable in older 7.10 ?  am getting a   SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel
[04:33] <memeemeee> ah Samus_Aran i never did that. yes histo  I know that but you still have to type sudo every time
[04:33] <piju> konversation
[04:34] <Thraspic> CITguy-Apollo thanks anyway
[04:34] <pooronet> #ubuntu-fr
[04:34] <histo> kanhiya78: what video card are you using?
[04:34] <kanhiya78> i do not know i am using laptop
[04:34] <Samus_Aran> if you do want a password for the root user, it's easy to add one: sudo passwd root
[04:34]  * werdnus waves.
[04:34] <LF|Irssi_> if you're a command line jockey, use irssi IRC client
[04:34] <histo> kanhiya78: well type in "lspci | grep VGA"   in a terminal without the "'s ofcourse
[04:35] <_cb> thanks. In windows installing and un-installing programs tends to corrupt the system and I often ghost the partitions so I can recover. Is is prudent to do the same in Ubuntu or will the package manager keep the system clean?
[04:35] <werdnus> How can I troubleshoot suspend/resume on my Toshiba Portege m200 tablet? Whenever I try to suspend or hibernate, I get a loud beep,and it just locks the screen.
[04:35] <meoblast001> why isnt apache showing all the files that is in a specific folder
[04:35] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, no dice still full speed.  im going to look for a pci device, i think i saw one ysterday
[04:35] <Skry^> Zerodamage, did you try the 173 driver or 177?
[04:35] <genii> Samus_Aran: Please don't advise people how to set root password unless you want to be the one dedicated to solving the problems they experience aftrwards
[04:35] <jimmio> How can I fix an UNCLAIMED USB Controller issue? USB isn't working at all...
[04:35] <jimmio> Using 8.04
[04:35] <memeemeee> lol my fault genii -- I brought it up
[04:35] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, other wise ill put the damn thing in my quad core and go from htere
[04:36] <paulorv> Hi, can anyone recomment a lightweight firewall for ubuntu? I tried apf but it requires patching I guess
[04:36] <kanhiya78> card is 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[04:36] <genii> memeemeee: Anything you need root for can be done with sudo
[04:36] <n8tuser> paulorv-> iptables is adequate
[04:36] <histo> kanhiya78: you should have no problem upping your resolution what happens when you try?
[04:36] <Zerodamage> Skry^ I've tried them all.  I am out of options except to remove the tv tuner card
[04:36] <h00k> paulorv:  iptables are enabled already in Ubuntu
[04:36] <Zerodamage> then I will have to consider going to Windows which I do not want to do
[04:36] <Zerodamage> I am frustrated beyond belief
[04:36] <Samus_Aran> genii: there are no problems to experience afterward.  all components of the system continue to function as before
[04:37] <kanhiya78> there is no option to select higher than 800x640
[04:37] <Samus_Aran> genii: sudo continues to work, logging into the system continues to work, etc.
[04:37] <Zerodamage> skry^ brb, trying another attempt and rebooting
[04:37] <kanhiya78> neither effects can be enabled
[04:37] <kanhiya78> i am saying about normal effects
[04:37] <histo> kanhiya78: well enabling effects and changing resolutions are completely different things.
[04:37] <pangloss> Hey guys, question. Why can you graphically change the login screen resolution?
[04:37] <genii> Samus_Aran: Try this then: in your home directory as user, swithc to root. Then run Nautilus and exit. Try running it without ever being root or using sudo again. It's impossible
[04:38] <kanhiya78> ok what to do
[04:38] <genii> Samus_Aran: Then the user reapperars here going "Nautilus won't run!"   etc
[04:38] <kanhiya78> first i want to change resolution
[04:38] <Samus_Aran> genii: running Nautilus as root user is unrelated to creating a root password
[04:38] <Samus_Aran> genii: gksudo nautilus would have the same effect
[04:38] <n8tuser> what version of squashfs  is the newer 8.10 livecd?  btw, how to check the version for my older 7.10 ?
[04:38]  * memeemeee said "also Brucee if you really want to run several root commands without typing sudo over and over (THIS IS BAD ADVICE) type sudo su" which genii pointed out I shouldn't have even said at all
[04:39] <GodfatherofEire> Is there a fix for the usplash in 8.10?
[04:39] <Samus_Aran> there is nothing wrong with having a root account.
[04:39] <histo> lol yet he says it again.
[04:39] <piju> anybody, can i install nautilus 2.24 on hardy ?
[04:39] <Samus_Aran> it creates no problems.
[04:39] <histo> piju: yes you can install whatever you want.
[04:39] <pangloss> piju: go nuts
[04:39] <Samus_Aran> Ubuntu does not own your computer, you do.  if *you* want a root password, add one.  'nuff said.
[04:40] <LF|Irssi_> here here
[04:40] <kanhiya78> histo; you do not tell me what to do to change resolution
[04:40] <carpeliam> anybody know how to debug problems with aplay?
[04:40] <Samus_Aran> I have a root password on most but not all of my Ubuntu systems, usually so I can log in as root on TTYs to fix issues, without needing to log in twice with my regular user's password
[04:40] <memeemeee> Samus_Aran, I think genii's point is that once people start running term as root they make mistakes which then have to be dealt with by us. it's generally a bad idea
[04:41] <histo> kanhiya78: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[04:41] <kanhiya78> ok
[04:41] <will_hough> Why don't I "Have the necessary permissions" to edit ect/samba/smb.conf
[04:41] <werdnus> 14:38  * memeemeee said "also Brucee if you really want to run several root commands without typing sudo over and over (THIS IS BAD ADVICE) type sudo su" which genii  pointed out I shouldn't have even said at all
[04:41] <bruenig> need to be root
[04:41] <werdnus> 'sudo -s'?
[04:41] <kanhiya78> next
[04:41] <Samus_Aran> memeemeee: and by default a root login will *not* be able to run X commands -- it would require the normal user first running: xhost +
[04:41] <trisinger> Samus_Aran, im going to put it in this machine ill be back
[04:41] <jimmio> will_hough: Terminal sudo gedit etc/samba/smb.conf
[04:41] <Brucee> ok
[04:41] <bruenig> sudo su, sudo -s, same thing really
[04:42] <bruenig> I mean it isn't technically the same, but the end result is the same
[04:42] <will_hough> jimmio: I'me a super nub
[04:42] <izinucs> will_hough: just type "sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf" without the quotes and you'll have permission to edit
[04:42] <histo> kanhiya78: you need to look at help.ubuntu.com  all of your questions can be answered there.
[04:42] <GodfatherofEire> Is there any fix for the start-up's usplash in Intrepid?
[04:42] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[04:42] <zerodamage> what is the command to reconfigure xorg server?
[04:42] <werdnus> bruenig: no, the home directory and stuff doesn't get reset with sudo -s
[04:42] <Samus_Aran> kaboom.
[04:42] <werdnus> whereas it does with sudo su
[04:43] <histo> why did floodbot do that?
[04:43] <bruenig> hmm
[04:43] <GodfatherofEire> God I hate it when that happens
[04:43] <bruenig> werdnus: true, but what does that matter
[04:43] <zerodamage> what is the command to reconfigure xorg server?
[04:43] <n8tuser> nothing new in event or upstart on 8.10 ... who the heck comes out with these ideas and no follow through?
[04:44] <RHorse> zerodamage, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg imms
[04:44] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: there is none.  you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or you can use the tools in the admin menu in Gnome
[04:44] <bruenig> uh oh Samus_Aran and RHorse are going to go at it
[04:44] <werdnus> bruenig: in some weird circumstances.
[04:44] <zerodamage> RHorse, thanks
[04:44]  * werdnus has gf here
[04:44] <werdnus> later
[04:44] <RHorse> zerodamage, imms means if memory serves. 8 )
[04:45] <Gnatman> could anyone reccomend some reading that has to do with networks and things related to them
[04:45] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: ah, I didn't know that's what you were looking for.  that command doesn't tend to offer much use
[04:45] <werdnus> or not
[04:45] <Rev> hello
[04:45] <GodfatherofEire> n8tuser, I didn't manage to figure out whatever was goin on with the network manager, worked fine with a fresh install, which was (to my knowledge) configured exactly the same as the update.
[04:46] <K_Dallas> Q: what is the free RAR-UNRAR alternative?
[04:46] <bruenig> Gnatman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(film)
[04:46] <Rev> is it possible to launch the system update and tell the computer to shutdown automatically as soon as the update is finished?
[04:46] <cb_> Installed Ubuntu yesterday and pretty impressed. What am I missing, why hasn't it exploded
[04:46] <minion007> hey guys
[04:46] <bruenig> sudo apt-get update ; shutdown now
[04:46] <Samus_Aran> Rev: apt-get upgrade && shutdown -h now
[04:46] <n8tuser> GodfatherofEire-> is it solved?
[04:46] <bruenig> err -h
[04:47] <GodfatherofEire> You could say that n8tuser
[04:47] <Skry^> cb_, it will explode, you've been lucky
[04:47] <GodfatherofEire> Just did a fresh install
[04:47] <pangloss> K_Dallas: just type in unrar into terminal
[04:47] <cb_> ha ha
[04:47] <Samus_Aran> Rev: you could stick it in a launcher icon
[04:47] <Gnatman> bruenig do u know of any books?
[04:47] <zerodamage> samus_aran, it did not do anything for me other than configure the keyboard.  I am looking for the one that does the video.
[04:47] <n8tuser> GodfatherofEire-> i dont know if you recall, i kept telling people not to do an upgrade but rather fresh install.. those kind of quirkyness is one of the reasons
[04:47] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: as I said, there is none.  you either set it in the admin menu, or you edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf  =)
[04:47] <cb_> Was a bit afraid of doing the flash install but that went pretty smooth. Did not have sound but found a solution fairly easily
[04:48] <YancyThe1exican> what is linux?
[04:48] <iratsu> hmm how can i see what process is using all my swap space?
[04:48] <will_hough> "sudo gedit etc/samba/smb.conf" opens /home/will/etc/samba/smb.conf
[04:48] <minion007> i have a question, i install ubuntu yesterday and im looking for the leopard style icons along the bottom how do i find that?
[04:48] <Samus_Aran> YancyThe1exican: an GPL 2 licensed operating system kernel
[04:48] <zerodamage> samus_aran I've done it  before.  I just do not remember the command.  Googling for it now
[04:48] <GodfatherofEire> Didnt see that when goin through the logs, guess I missed that n8tuser
[04:48] <K_Dallas> pangloss, I looked into the unrar (free) version and it doesnt seem to be able to handle all rar3.0 archives
[04:48] <will_hough> wrong location I believe
[04:48] <Tmob> anyone good with iptables? i see a bunch of ACK FIN packets dropped which makes my packet forwarding not work.. could use some help please
[04:48] <WebcamWonder> minion007, You mean the dock?
[04:48] <minion007> yeah
[04:48] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: Xorg automatically detects your resolution and sets it to the highest available
[04:48] <Rev> Samus_Aran, thanks for the command
[04:48] <WebcamWonder> minion007, Look into Avant Window Manager
[04:48] <K_Dallas> pangloss, there is a nonfree one but it is shareware for 40 days
[04:48] <zerodamage> samus_aran it is supposed to but it isn't
[04:48] <minion007> thanks
[04:49] <GodfatherofEire> Also, n8tuser, you know if there are any fixes for the 8.10 usplashes?
[04:49] <Samus_Aran> Rev: the && tells it to only shutdown if the other command was successfull -- so if there were errors, it wouldn't shut down
[04:49] <cb_> Anyone using Lazarus or nomachine?
[04:49] <Skry^> zerodamage, nvidia-xconfig ?
[04:49] <WebcamWonder> K_Dallas, I think the multiverse or universe has the non-free rar, and unrar
[04:49] <carpeliam> !alsa
[04:49] <Gnatman> does anyone know a place where i could go to find other irc channels
[04:49] <pangloss> K_Dallas: unrar should be able to handle it, what version do you have?
[04:49] <K_Dallas> WebcamWonder, but it would still be shareware and requires registration after 40days
[04:49] <will_hough> Gnatman: in freenode?
[04:49] <zerodamage> skry^ no, that does nothing because the nvidia drivers will not install
[04:50] <Gnatman> yes
[04:50] <will_hough> Gnatman: You can type /list
[04:50] <Flannel> Gnatman: /msg alis help
[04:50] <Rev> Samus_Aran, ok perfect, that was exactly what i wanted!
[04:50] <K_Dallas> pangloss, i havent install unrar yet. i try the free one then and see how it goes
[04:50] <Gnatman> thanx
[04:50] <Samus_Aran> Rev: you will also want to add these options to apt-get, if you run it from an icon without a terminal: apt-get --quiet --assume-yes upgrade
[04:50] <Cranders> Is there anyway you can "insall ubuntu inside of windows" when using a RAID 0 setup?
[04:50] <pangloss> K_Dallas: the free one should come native with Ubuntu
[04:50] <Skry^> zerodamage, so what do you need to do with your xorg.conf?
[04:50] <K_Dallas> pangloss, it is not installed on my system.
[04:51] <Rev> Samus_Aran, yeah but i always run it from the term
[04:51] <zerodamage> skry^ I need to redo everything so my video resolution will be correct
[04:51] <Samus_Aran> Rev: and add sudo's as appropriate.  =)
[04:51] <pangloss> K_Dallas: the rar util does not, just type in $sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[04:51] <will_hough> jimmio: That cmd opened the wrong location.
[04:51] <will_hough> I believe
[04:51] <pangloss> K_Dallas: when you type in unrar in a terminal nothing happens?
[04:51] <Skry^> zerodamage, ok.. btw did  you try to install nvidia drivers from terminal with apt-get?
[04:51] <will_hough> that opened /home/will/etc/samba
[04:52] <Rev> Samus_Aran, btw, i was also looking for changing permissions on a folder AND all the folders and files contained inside it. I modified it as root, so its totally locked for my regular user. whats the command to let myself write/read it?
[04:52] <K_Dallas> pangloss, it says i need to apt-get it.
[04:52] <Rev> Samus_Aran, im lost between chmode, chown and so on
[04:52] <zerodamage> skry^ yes.
[04:52] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: it has been years since I've seen a resolution selector from the install script.  Xorg likes everything to be automatic now.  xorg.conf is empty on most modern Xorg versions
[04:52] <K_Dallas> pangloss, i installed unrar-free
[04:52] <zerodamage> samus_aran where else can I look to fix it?  I am out of options
[04:52] <Skry^> zerodamage, didnt give you any useful info why it didnt work?
[04:52] <usser_> Rev, chown -R $USERNAME:$USERNAME /directory && chmod -R 755 /directory
[04:53] <Samus_Aran> Rev: sudo chown -R your_username /some/folder/here
[04:53] <pangloss> K_Dallas: just use rar and unrar packages
[04:53] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: what is the problem you're having ?
[04:53] <K_Dallas> pangloss, ok
[04:53] <zerodamage> skry^ it installs fine but it fails upon boot up.  I have to either load minimal or reset to default config
[04:53] <deftone> Can anyone tell me what's the newest mobile wireless card that works out of the box with ubuntu?
[04:53] <zerodamage> samus_aran I installed Hauppauge 1600 and now the Nvidia restricted drivers will not run.
[04:54] <Rev> usser, Samus_Aran see ! you gave me two different commands, thats really not easy.. which one is the correct one, and what are the differences?
[04:54]  * will_hough got it
[04:54] <Samus_Aran> Rev: theirs was more confusing than my command, and did a few extra things, possibly incorrectly.  the command I gave you changed the owner of all the files, nothing else
[04:54] <Skry^> zerodamage, did it crash/freeze or just drop you off into console?
[04:55] <Samus_Aran> Rev: theirs set the owner and group for all the files, then changed the permissions on every file
[04:55] <Rev> Samus_Aran, oh ok, thanks for the explanation
[04:55] <zerodamage> Skry^ the new thing from Ibix comes up.  Says an error with Nvidia drivers. Gives me some options to edit the xorg config, run in minimal mode, or create a new config.
[04:56] <zerodamage> skry^ none of those work
[04:56] <Samus_Aran> Rev: also, theirs used the variable $USERNAME which won't exist.  it would be $USER
[04:56] <Skry^> zerodamage, i guess you didnt check xorgs logs?
[04:57] <Samus_Aran> Rev: most likely all you wanted to do was change the owner from root to your own user.  just replace the "your_username" in my example with your actual username
[04:57] <zerodamage> skry^ yes I did.
[04:58] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: okay, your issue appears to be that the PCI identifier has changed, or else the nvidia kernel module (driver) is not loaded
[04:58] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: please paste the result of this command: lspci | grep -i vga
[04:59] <zerodamage> 40:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41 [Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI] (rev a2)
[04:59] <carpeliam> is there a per-user version of /etc/modules ?
[04:59] <Rev> Samus_Aran, i tried it, and it worked like a charm, perfect, thanks again !
[04:59] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: yes, the PCI id has changed.  open  up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the PCI id in the device section to 40:0:0
[05:00] <Benalex> Hello all, I am using the stable release of Intrepid Ibex live cd from a USB disk, and I am not getting any partitions listed in the installer partitioner, Any suggestions?
[05:00] <Necrogami> I installed ubuntu server 8.10 fresh and i'm given a grub prompt .. and a blinking cursor any suggestions?
[05:00] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: do you know how to edit the xorg.cong file as root ?
[05:00] <zerodamage> samus_aran I do not see where in there to make that change
[05:00] <minion007> another question...
[05:01] <zerodamage> samus_aran it is very generic.
[05:01] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: can you paste into a query what is in your device section(s)
[05:01] <pangloss> Necrogami: you sure it finished installing?
[05:01] <obf213> hmm
[05:01] <minion007> when someone give me an application to install they say type this but where as i tried termonal but it tells me i dont have access ie(apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird)
[05:02] <obf213> window selector is doing this werid thing were my windos don't show up in the list unless the window is some arbitrary distance inside my laptop monitor and my external

[05:02] <izinucs> minion007: put "sudo" in front of the command
[05:02] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: try adding this to the "device" section:   BusID  "PCI:40:0:0"
[05:02] <LF|Irssi_> minion007: what izinucs said
[05:02] <pangloss> minion007: you have to use sudo
[05:02] <LF|Irssi_> beat me to it
[05:02] <jahnkeanater> how do i add folders to the sun virtual box
[05:02] <minion007> ok thanks guys
[05:02] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: also add this:   Driver  "nvidia"
[05:02] <Necrogami> I installed ubuntu server 8.10 fresh and i'm given a grub prompt .. and a blinking cursor any suggestions?
[05:02] <izinucs> jahnkeanater: folders?
[05:03] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: after you have added those two, save and quit, then confirm if your nVIDIA driver is loaded right now: grep nvidia /proc/modules
[05:03] <jahnkeanater> i want to be able to axcess stuff from the virtual terminal i just instaled
[05:03] <dig> hi, does anyone has a problem that firefox 3.0.3 crashes frequently at 8.10?

[05:07] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: the only time you need to reboot is to upgrade or downgrade the Linux kernel

[05:10] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: so did X load ?  if not, paste the error messages into a query
[05:10] <izinucs> Cranders: the only way to install "inside" of windows is with a virtual machine program.. vmware is one.. Virtual Box is another but I don't know if there is a windows version of it.. performance hit?  depends on your machine.. not much on my 2.4gHZ pentium socket 478 w 2 gigs of ram.. 5year old machine. works great.. however I run windows inside of Ubuntu with it.
[05:10] <minion007> my wireless adapter to see if i can pick up any wireless lans

[05:11] <minion007> i dont have the machine with me, just out of memory last night
[05:11] <ferfactor> djhash, because there is a guy in #ubuntu-es that everyday is broken rules
[05:11] <minion007> internal
[05:11] <joshux> my kernel hang with invalid opcode:0000 after checking CPU 'hlt'
[05:11] <izinucs> Cranders: unless you were referring to Wubi.. a hit.. not much
[05:11] <Samus_Aran> Cranders: it mostly depends on what you do.  casual desktop apps, you won't notice any difference.  if you do CPU intensive applications, such as running a database for a hundred users, or encoding videos, the performance will be quite a bit less
[05:11] <izinucs> carpeliam: thanks.
[05:11] <LSD|Ninja> joshux: what CPU?
[05:12] <dewente> agoole, is just make a kinda page where i could upload stuff and get an addrees or link for download later
[05:12] <joshux> mediagx
[05:12] <pangloss> minion007: wireless cards are tricky things. You dont have the machien with you?
[05:12] <joshux> sorry this is not ubuntu
[05:12] <LSD|Ninja> joshux: sure mediagx even supports HLT?
[05:12] <dewente> agoola, like this
[05:12] <dewente> http://www.filefactory.com/
[05:13] <agoole> dewente: you want to create one on your machine?
[05:13] <djhash> ferfactor: if you can't find ops.. you can try #ubuntu-ops (i think)
[05:13] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: what happened ?
[05:13] <dewente> agoole, yes in a server
[05:13] <Necrogami> Can anyone help me get my system booted from Busybox?
[05:13] <zerodamage> samus_aran no
[05:13] <Cranders> I was talking about Wubi, but when I tried this with my RAID 0 setup it did not work
[05:13] <Samus_Aran> zerodamage: no ?
[05:13] <joshux> LSD|Ninja,  yes,hlt checking is ok, it was the next step that hangs ,(I tried on the other computer, the next step is Freeing SMP alternative 0k..
[05:13] <ferfactor> djhash, thanks men
[05:14] <agoole> dewente: do you need this over the internet ? or simply over the network ?
[05:14] <minion007> no its like 715am and im at work, ill only have it tonight
[05:14] <joshux> LSD|Ninja, so I guess the MediaGX hangs there
[05:14] <simple> why i can't mount EncryptedPrivateDirectory  by manuly?
[05:14] <dewente> agoola, the internet, just tell me what the name of that kinda server ... i will looking in google
[05:15] <pangloss> minion007: you'll need to figure out what kind of wireless controller you have
[05:15] <pangloss> minion007: what version ubuntu do you have?
[05:15] <minion007> 8.10
[05:15] <agoole> dewente: look for ubuntu ftp server
[05:15] <minion007> i can tell you, lemme just go check
[05:15] <simple> I typed the correct password?
[05:15] <dewente> agoole, how about upload server ?
[05:16] <pangloss> minion007: the best way to do it is to type into terminal $lspci | grep -i wireless
[05:16] <Rev> where is it to disable the startup sound please?
[05:17] <agoole> dewente: openssh-server is what you'll want to install
[05:17] <Hilton> Hello everybody. Does anyone know if the problems with FGLRX and Ubuntu 8.10 have been fixed yet? (In particular regarding Radeon 9000-series cards not working)
[05:17] <pangloss> Rev: system>>preferences>>sound
[05:17] <agoole> dewente: you'll need to learn some commands, but its the easyest to set up, and to connect to and from the internet
[05:17] <ugumtu> hello
[05:17] <ugumtu> anyone here a hoster?
[05:17] <ugumtu> anyone ran a cPanel before?
[05:17] <m0niker> i know one
[05:17] <simple> hello
[05:17] <m0niker> ran it or used it?
[05:17] <djhash> !off-topic
[05:17] <ugumtu> as in, used it?
[05:18] <simple> no one here
[05:18] <ugumtu> i mean, like, installed it
[05:18] <dewente> agoole, never mind from internet, just tell me the name of that kind of server
[05:18] <minion007> Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG
[05:18] <m0niker> no , i know one you might ask
[05:18] <ugumtu> ?
[05:18] <m0niker> ibm thinkpad?
[05:18] <agoole> dewente: ssh server ?
[05:18] <Rev> thanks pangli
[05:18] <Rev> pangloss,
[05:18] <app_server> how to check java install or not in hardy?
[05:18] <agoole> dewente: I dont quite understand, are you isntalling this ?
[05:18] <Necrogami> \o/ Got grub to boot my LVM from grub console
[05:19] <Necrogami> pangloss, thank you very much
[05:19] <agoole> app_server: what kind of java ?
[05:19] <agoole> app_server: the sdk ? or to play stuff in web ?
[05:19] <pangloss> Necrogami: you followed the instructions?
[05:19] <minion007> pangloss Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG
[05:19] <app_server> java jdk
[05:19] <pangloss> Rev: did you get it?
[05:19] <dewente> agoole, look  at http://www.savefile.com/
[05:19] <app_server> sdk..wanna develop java application
[05:19] <Rev> yeah thanks pangloss :)
[05:20] <agoole> dewente: ok so ...
[05:20] <minion007> i will try this thanks
[05:20] <LF|Irssi_> Is setting up a VPN easy in Ubuntu 8.10 server?
[05:20] <pangloss> minion007: 1 sec
[05:20] <dewente> agoole, the name of this kind of server
[05:20] <agoole> app_server: did you install it ?
[05:20] <Necrogami> pangloss, yes and no .. got most of the instructions but on kernel /vmlinuz.... i had to set root as /dev/main/root for my LVM but after that it booted right up
[05:20] <app_server> yes..
[05:20] <app_server> using .bin
[05:21] <pangloss> Necrogami: cool, see if it boots now when you restart. If not you'll probably have to set up your MBR or something
[05:21] <Agent7629> anyone able to give me a quick bit of info, need to locate the folder "~/.fonts" without quotes and i can't seem to find it
[05:21] <Cranders> izinucs: so is it possible to install Wubi on RAID 0 or must I use a virtual program?
[05:21] <djhash> dewente: that is a website, with server-side scripting.. you can't just install those things.. you need to write one on your own..  now take this topic to !off-topic this is not related in anyway to ubuntu support
[05:21] <Necrogami> pangloss, any tips for resetting my MBR?
[05:21] <LF|Irssi_> Agent7629: you have to make it if it doesnt exist
[05:22] <elpargo> hi, I'm having several video-related issues, avi's have no sound in vlc, wmv's have 0 FPS, I have tried totem,vlc and mplayer and they all present issues. anyone has any hints as to what may be happening? this was working a couple of days ago.
[05:22] <dewente> djnash, oh ok, i thought that was a kinda server
[05:22] <elpargo> Necrogami, what exactly do you want to accomplish?
[05:22] <izinucs> Cranders: not having used wubi I"m not sure.. if wubi won't install then a vm prog. will/should work.. I don't use raid so I'm not aware of the particulars of it's quirks
[05:22] <Agent7629> LF|Irssi_: care to clue me in on the command from terminal for that? still getting used to it
[05:22] <agoole> app_server: if you didn't install it, its shouldn't be there
[05:22] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I have added a second sound card and I want to see if it is working properly. Is there a device manager?
[05:23] <agoole> app_server: the java sdk doesn't install by default
[05:23] <Necrogami> elpargo, not having to type in all the commands into the grub prompt myself...
[05:23] <agoole> app_server: are you using eclipse ?
[05:23] <ldiamond_> Firefox keeps randomly crashing.... why!?!?!
[05:23] <LF|Irssi_> mkdir ~/.fonts
[05:23] <Agent7629> thanks :-D
[05:23] <pangloss> Necrogami: you can try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113
[05:23] <Cranders> izinucs: ok thanks, I have looked for documentation about it but there is not much for Raid 0
[05:23] <agoole> ldiamond_: flash plugin i beleive
[05:23] <LF|Irssi_> np :)
[05:23] <djhash> !grub
[05:23] <app_server> i know it's not install by default
[05:23] <elpargo> ldiamond_, most likely a plugin
[05:23] <ldiamond_> agoole, No, its not, I was browsing google!
[05:24] <app_server> agoogle: i install by my self
[05:24] <agoole> ldiamond_: yeah, mine does it as well, it just brown around randomly, see a few vids, then randomly it crashes
[05:24] <pangloss> minion007: its going to me hard if you do not have direct access to the computer you want to get working with wireless, we might have to cut firmware and things like that
[05:24] <app_server> agoole: i install using apt-get
[05:24] <pangloss> minion007: id suggest coming back when you have the computer in front of you and some time
[05:24] <agoole> app_server: ok,so it shouuld be ok, what do you need ?
[05:25] <chainoo> #ubuntu-es
[05:25] <elpargo> Necrogami, if you know what you are doing the file is /boot/grub/menu.lst then you need to reinstall grub
[05:26] <Zemus1> Very well.
[05:26] <elpargo> ldiamond_, how about addons? some of them could crash your browser
[05:26] <app_server> agoole: i need to install tomcat
[05:26] <ldiamond_> elpargo, ill try to disable them
[05:26] <app_server> agoole: and also the correct configuration
[05:26] <[T]ank> so in version 8.10 when you click on the network selection and try to add a vpn connection, the add button is not selectable. How do i get that working?
[05:26] <lianimator> is it possible/better to program with C++ in Linux?
[05:26] <agoole> app_server: sry, I have never dealt with tomcat, maybe someoene else can help you
[05:26] <app_server> agoole: not all from the net correct way..
[05:26] <minion007> pangloss i will do that, thannks for all your help.
[05:26] <elpargo> ldiamond_, a good way to figure out what happens is to open firefox from a shell then you can see what last executed that failed.
[05:27] <agoole> ldiamond_: elpargo is right,
[05:27] <elpargo> lianimator, as opposed to ?
[05:27] <app_server> agoole: now i install mysql using webmin
[05:27] <lianimator> elpargo: C, which is widely used.
[05:28] <agoole> lianimator: what are you planning on coding ?
[05:28] <elpargo> lianimator, well that really depends on what you are doing.
[05:28] <Necrogami> \o/ i run sudo grub .. once inside root (hd0,0) then setup (hd0) and it fixed the issue.
[05:28] <pangloss> Necrogami: good job
[05:29] <ugumtu> anyone here have experience with installing cPanel?
[05:29] <lianimator> elpargo: in what aspects is C better than C++? Most programs are written in C. I was wonder why. And why not C++, which is what they teach at my university.
[05:29] <Necrogami> pangloss, it's much better then then 8.10RC since it came to booting the kernel and stopped dead .. refused to boot.
[05:29] <[T]ank> its like i dont have something installed...... I have all of the other networking working... wireless, wired, cellular... just cant do a vpn
[05:29] <[T]ank> any ideas?
[05:29] <dewente> can i install an application server over the internet. i meant that i could access remotely ?
[05:29] <pangloss> Necrogami: =/ sound like 8.10RC didnt like your computer
[05:30] <elpargo> Necrogami, yea also $ sudo grub-install, but that doesn't works all the time.
[05:30] <Necrogami> yeah .. no
[05:30] <Necrogami> lol
[05:30] <deftone> Anyone know where I can replace a wireless card in my laptop??
[05:30] <pangloss> lianimator: C/C++ are close to the same thing, C++ is just an object oriented implementation of C
[05:31] <dewente> can i install an application server over the internet. i meant that i could access remotely ?
[05:31] <elpargo> lianimator, "most" is a very wide term. the as pangloss said they are very close to each other.
[05:31] <elpargo> deftone, physically?
[05:31] <SegFaultAX> !spam | dewente
[05:32] <elpargo> that wasn't spam, just an idiotic question.
[05:32] <[T]ank> or could anyone tell me the name of the program so i can launch it as root?
[05:32] <bkovacs> How many of you have gone back to Hardy
[05:32] <ugumtu> hey
[05:32] <pangloss> bkovacs: none
[05:32] <Rev> im looking for an image viewer that would allow me to delete pictures, any ideas?
[05:32] <elpargo> bkovacs, technically me, I didn't upgrade because of the ati x300 issue.
[05:32] <dewente> elpargo, mine ?
[05:32] <elpargo> Rev, nautilus?
[05:32] <gub> i never left Gutsy hehe
[05:32] <ugumtu> hey
[05:33] <Rev> elpargo, no no, i mean, a real viewer
[05:33] <elpargo> dewente, yes it shows you have no clue what an "application server" or "access remotely" mean, which is about 50% of your question.
[05:33] <minion007> i will see you guys tonight in about 12 hours
[05:33] <SegFaultAX> Rev: define a 'real' viewer
[05:33] <elpargo> Rev, what's wrong with nautilus?
[05:34] <minion007> bye for now
[05:34] <RHorse> rev, try feh
[05:34] <Rev> nautilus just displays thumbnails. i want a viewer like Eye of the gnome, but with a "delete" button
[05:34] <pangloss> Rev: you can open the image with image viewer (which is default) and click edit>>move to trash
[05:34] <Rev> then i can view pix and delete the one i dont want to keep
[05:34] <MFen> how do you force hardy NOT to connect to a wireless network?
[05:34] <MFen> 'm tired of it autoconnecting to my neighbor
[05:34] <pangloss> Rev: oh I see
[05:35] <SegFaultAX> MFen: disable wifi
[05:35] <RHorse> MFen, turn off rove mode
[05:35] <pangloss> Rev: have you tried picasa?
[05:35] <Formode> Rev, try gthumb.
[05:35] <Rev> pangloss, i would have prefered a direct button. can i bind a hotkey for delete in image viewer?
[05:35] <elpargo> Rev, in eog you can hit delete
[05:35] <MFen> you're telling me there is no way to blacklist a wireless network?
[05:36] <SegFaultAX> MFen: thats not what you asked
[05:36] <elpargo> Rev, so you want a GUI button?
[05:36] <Rev> elpargo, indeed... the fact that i can hit the delete key is nice
[05:36] <Rev> i hadnt even tried
[05:36] <MFen> SegFaultAX: ok, now that's what i'm asking.
[05:36] <Rev> only thing is that this viewer is very slow
[05:37] <[T]ank> running as root does not allow me to add vpn connection either.
[05:37] <dig> firefox crashes frequently bug reports. I don't know the solution, but if you have problems, having a look---------> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-qt-engine/+bug/279240
[05:38] <SegFaultAX> dig: this doesnt fix your problem by any means, but you could try using epiphany
[05:38] <elpargo> Rev, it isn't slow for me, but I'm not a picture fan so I really don't know.
[05:40] <Rev> elpargo, when u are browsing high quality numeric pictures, its kinda slow. at least on my comp. 1 second at least to switch to the next pic
[05:41] <elpargo> Rev, by high quality I assume you mean big pixels count? how big exactly?
[05:41] <Appl3Kork> do you know what the command is in linux to give the admin write rights? Like i have ubuntu server, and it won't let me upload anything, even though I'm logged as the admin
[05:42] <JonathanEllis> Can anyone help me with inputattach? I am trying to configure a joystick (Wingman Warrior). From http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/inputattach.html I have tried to use inputattach with the results shown at http://pastebin.com/d53e67e58. Now I am confused: it seems I should specify a device. Would this be /dev/js0?
[05:42] <SegFaultAX> Rev: if the pictures are really large, that is to say if they are high resolution, then that could slow their load down substantially
[05:42] <zcat[1]> what's the 'reccomended' minimum hardware for hardy? I can't find it on the website
[05:42] <dig> SegFaultAX: the post does point out a solution, by changing gtk-engine(Not sure how)
[05:42] <elpargo> Appl3Kork, that doesn't makes sense.
[05:43] <Rev> elpargo, SegFaultAX , i have one here for instance : 2592*1944
[05:43] <SegFaultAX> Rev: whats the bit depth?
[05:43] <Appl3Kork> well I can't upload anything through FTP to the home server
[05:43] <Appl3Kork> or home directory
[05:43] <lifestream> Anyone familiar with PS emulation?!:( Dying here. Been trying to figure out why my pscx won't load any of my CDs. Any help? :P
[05:43] <Appl3Kork> like I can add files to a different folder for the html pages, but I can't just upload to the home dir
[05:44] <zcat[1]> NM, found it
[05:44] <SegFaultAX> Rev: keep in mind that scaling a few million bytes (several megs) of data can take some time. thats why image viewers generally produce thumbnails
[05:44] <genii> lifestream: Likely because the PS cd drives spin in the other direction
[05:44] <elpargo> Appl3Kork, then you FTP configuration is wrong, also you should use sFTP instead.
[05:44] <Appl3Kork> ppl have been telling me to use pure-ftpd and proftpd I'm just sick of having to keep changing
[05:45] <lifestream> genii, ... weird :P ... How about ISO? Won't load ISO either. It loads bios fine, then.... nothing.
[05:45] <elpargo> Rev, as SegFaultAX said, that big of a picture will take time to render, just because it's big but 1sec isnt that much for that size.
[05:45] <SegFaultAX> elpargo: agreed.
[05:45] <Rev> SegFaultAX, yeah yeah, i dont argue about that. THats just that i used to use an other viewer, but i cant remeber the name since i installed a fresh ibex. It was far faster that the EoG. It was a little like Feh in term of speed but with a GUI
[05:45] <genii> lifestream: If you make an iso in linux, you need some tool to "reverse" it since its again in the wrong direction
[05:46] <elpargo> Appl3Kork, well if you want to do it right, you should go with ssh + ftp, that's a secure way of doing it, if you want to stick with plain FTP you need to configure your server to let you upload files everywhere.
[05:46] <SegFaultAX> Rev: try a search in the repository, you might get lucky or find an acceptable alternative
[05:46] <Rev> SegFaultAX, ok thanls
[05:46] <lifestream> genii,  *jawdrop* i've been reading forums and forums for about 2 hours now, and I didn't read anything about that... *googles your suggestion* thank you very much :)
[05:46] <standarshy> hi toom
[05:46] <standarshy> room
[05:47] <lylem> exit
[05:47] <standarshy> Is anyone else finding the windows in ubuntu 8.10 buggy?
[05:47] <lifestream> standarshy, hmmmmm, mine kinda show half white sometimes, the title bar
[05:47] <SegFaultAX> Rev: also, http://www.getdeb.net/
[05:47] <Appl3Kork> well elpargo, do you know of a tutorial that can guide me through setting the ssh + ftp? I mean I'm working on the server through putty, so isn't that ssh?
[05:47] <standarshy> lifestream: that is exactly the same problem I have
[05:48] <dazvid> Hi guys. Question about the 3 button emulation on mice. I have it set to false in my xorg.conf, however the behaviour still persists. Any ideas?
[05:48] <standarshy> although, if I completely disable window effects, I think it goes away
[05:48] <lifestream> standarshy, are you using the Dust theme? Trying to figure out if its the bug, or gnome itself.  The window won't look normal unless I resize it
[05:48] <SegFaultAX> Appl3Kork: well what is it your trying to configure? i mean ssh and ftp are completely independent.
[05:48] <elpargo> Appl3Kork, no putty is multiprotocol.
[05:48] <standarshy> lifestream: I am using the default human theme
[05:48] <Appl3Kork> I'm just trying to get the FTP working so I can upload to the server
[05:48] <Appl3Kork> like files/folders
[05:49] <Benalex> Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests?
[05:49] <Rev> SegFaultAX, elpargo , ahhhh i just tried gthumb, its really better
[05:49] <Rev> i think i will test it for some time and i'll see if it fulfils my needs
[05:49] <SegFaultAX> Rev: nice, you should still take a look at that site: http://www.getdeb.net/
[05:49] <Rev> i will right away
[05:50] <elpargo> Appl3Kork, this seems useful http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-openssh-server-installation-and-configuration/
[05:50] <standarshy> lifestream: Is this a documented issue?
[05:50] <SegFaultAX> Appl3Kork: well, by default you can ftp into an ubuntu box using the same username and password as your user account
[05:50] <Appl3Kork> ya I did that
[05:50] <zetharx> "EnvyNG has detected that the headers for your kernel are missing and cannot be installed"  anyone know what i should do?
[05:50] <SegFaultAX> Appl3Kork: so what other configuration do you need?
[05:50] <jadedoto> net
[05:51] <Rev> SegFaultAX, thanks to getdeb, i found back my viewer ;)
[05:51] <Appl3Kork> i can login to the server through ftp just fine, it's just when I try to upload it always gives permissioin denied
[05:51] <johnny_> hi
[05:51] <Rev> it was GPicView, but its only available for Hardy
[05:51] <SegFaultAX> Rev: told ya :D
[05:51] <elpargo> Appl3Kork, then you can use any sftp client, to upload stuff I use FileZilla recently.
[05:51] <lifestream> standarshy,  im not sure, but ive read about  other people on the forums with the same problem. i think thers a launchpad bug, not sure what the status
[05:51] <SegFaultAX> Rev: its likely still compatible, give it a shot
[05:51] <Appl3Kork> I've been trying to do it through Filezilla
[05:51] <Rev> SegFaultAX, not yet available for Intrepid i think ... thanks for the getdeb tip anyway, i'll use it again thats for sure ! ;)
[05:52] <standarshy> I've tried switching to a diffferent version of the nvidia drivers
[05:52] <standarshy> Didn't help though
[05:52] <johnny_> i attemed to upgrade to intrepid, and during this upgrade it failed due to setuptools being installed manually, so the upgrade process stopped in the middle, how can i recover it. i tried update-manager with "partial upgrade" and it prints out on the console Bad upgrade: 'intrepid' !='gutsy' .. but i am not upgrading from gutsy, but hardy
[05:52] <xorlim> should I downgrade my libraries or upgrade my programs to prevent segfaults?
[05:52] <johnny_> programs if possible..
[05:52] <Tmob> anyone know how to make ubuntu always load the ath5k module?
[05:53] <Tmob> i have a atheros wireless card, but it doesn't auto load it
[05:53] <johnny_> networkmanager should :(
[05:53] <outbriber> http://pastebin.com/d573758bc Problems with iceweasel, any tips?
[05:53] <Dominik> would you say that running: amok, htop, pigin, firefox in 4 different workspaces is alot to demand from 480 megs of ram?
[05:53] <fitztrev> How do I disable window snapping?  compiz with nvidia
[05:53] <elpargo> Tmob, add it to your init scripts?
[05:53] <Rev> SegFaultAX, is it possible to request a .deb to be built?
[05:53] <elpargo> fitztrev, run the config and disable it.
[05:53] <Rev> SegFaultAX, somewhere i mean?
[05:54] <elpargo> johnny_, did you try removing setuptools and trying again?
[05:54] <Tmob> elpargo, actually nvm.. i just figured it was in blacklist
[05:54] <fitztrev> elpargo, how?
[05:54] <Tmob> removed it..
[05:54] <Ben1> hey guys, i recently updated to intrepid and now whenever i play dvds my video and audio is choppy, any idea what is wrong?
[05:54] <johnny_> elpargo, yes i did..
[05:54] <SegFaultAX> Rev: contact the developers. its probably already in the process though. plus devs and package maintainers are slow
[05:54] <johnny_> that's where it's failing now after trying partial upgrade
[05:55] <elpargo> fitztrev, I don't remember the actual name but it's the configuration program you can enable/disable any plugin there.
[05:55] <SegFaultAX> Rev: its only been a week afterall, give them a chance to stretch their legs :D
[05:55] <Rev> SegFaultAX, ok, i'll just note it into my tomboy, and i'll check again in some weeks ;)
[05:55] <Benalex> Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests?
[05:55] <Rev> SegFaultAX, thanks for all your help
[05:56] <Ben1> hey guys, i recently updated to intrepid and now whenever i play dvds my video and audio is choppy, any idea what is wron
[05:56] <elpargo> Ben1, ati card?
[05:56] <Ben1> nvidia
[05:56] <dig> firefox becomes more stable after switching to compiz.
[05:56] <fitztrev> elpargo: how do I at least run the config?
[05:56] <Ben1> geforce 4
[05:56] <Ben1> i have the beta of the driver nvidia came out with
[05:56] <SegFaultAX> dig: thats a first :D
[05:57] <dig> :)
[05:57] <Scumgrief> hey why are there powerpc ubuntu releases if they aren't officially supported?
[05:57] <elpargo> fitztrev, Compiz-settings is the name of the tool.
[05:57] <Ben1> elpargo, what do you think?
[05:58] <elpargo> Ben1, that something is wrong with the new video drivers, I'm also having a ton of issues with them.
[05:58] <Ben1> yeah, do you think that is the issue here?
[05:58] <Ben1> i got 3d support by going to nvidia's beta
[05:59] <melichar> im playing a 3d game, and my fps are horrible, when in windows , it could play on the highest quality, I think its my agp bridge being set to 0x, how can i change it to 8x? i have a ati x1900, thans
[05:59] <Ben1> elpargo, do you know if anything is being done about the video?
[05:59] <SegFaultAX> melichar: what game is it?
[06:00] <melichar> SegFaultAX: nexuiz, i have every effect turn off, lowest quality, resoultion, and its still choppy
[06:00] <elpargo> Ben1, not sure, the issue is too wide to have something concrete.
[06:00] <melichar> SegFaultAX: when in windows, i could play on high quality with all effects on and still get 40 fps - 120 fps
[06:00] <fitztrev> elpargo: ok got it. thank you!
[06:00] <elpargo> fitztrev, welcome.
[06:01] <elpargo> melichar, are you certain your videocard settings are optimal?
[06:01] <SegFaultAX> melichar: well linux has notoriously bad 3d, probably a driver issue
[06:01] <kindofabuzz> is it a known problem with the nvidia legacy drivers and compiz being broken?
[06:01] <melichar> elpargo: i changed them the way i did before in windows, i think its a software error
[06:02] <Ben1> it is a known problem
[06:02] <melichar> elpargo: i had the problem in windows where the software wasn't compaible with agp x8, so I had to force it and it worked just fine, could linux not detect agp also?
[06:02] <Ben1> i downloaded a beta nvidia driver for my card and now i can use compiz
[06:02] <kindofabuzz> i can't, and i'm using the betas
[06:03] <kindofabuzz> i can switch to compiz, but nothing works other than my 4 desktops
[06:03] <johnny_> uggh..
[06:03] <Ben1> ooh
[06:03] <Ben1> hmm
[06:03] <Ben1> what card do you have?
[06:03] <elpargo> melichar, maybe, that depends on your game.
[06:03] <kindofabuzz> Ben1, ti 4400
[06:04] <melichar> elpargo: should not be a problem, it was working just fine in windows xp, and many people in nexuiz run off linux
[06:04] <JancyTheMexicano> what is linux
[06:04] <melichar> any suggestions? how  can i change my agp bridge to x8?
[06:04] <dazvid> An illegal hacking operating system JancyTheMexicano
[06:04] <elpargo> melichar, the fact that it works in other OS doesn't means it works in ubuntu.
[06:04] <SegFaultAX> JancyTheMexicano: an operating system
[06:04] <kindofabuzz> JancyTheMexicano, linux is freedom
[06:05] <melichar> elpargo: i have many friends on nexuiz that use ubuntu and get fps as high as 300 fps
[06:05] <kindofabuzz> nex runs great on my box
[06:05] <kindofabuzz> with an old card
[06:05] <melichar> it did work just fine with my machine, until i did a fresh install of ubuntu
[06:05] <xorlim> ubuntu is linux also
[06:05] <djhash> how to make application/script run as daemons? (start when computer starts, and on crash, restart again)
[06:06] <dinkus> guys... need help... just set up a friend on ubuntu.. .he's chinese and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get chinese insalled on this thing... i installed the chinese version but what do i do to install chinese input method?
[06:06] <dinkus> scim is already installed but chinese is not an option and i cannot figure out how to add it
[06:06] <SegFaultAX> djhash: are you familiar with /etc/init.d?
[06:06] <djhash> SegFaultAX: yes.. its what i usually use to start and stop apache :-)
[06:06] <xorlim> linux is the kernel of an operating system called GNU/Linux, the kernel was written by Linus Torvalds and lots of other computer programmers around the world.
[06:07] <elpargo> dinkus, did you try with System - Preferences - keyboard
[06:07] <melichar> ok, im installing windows again just to play games lol, thanks
[06:07] <SegFaultAX> djhash: then create a start script, and add a link in rc2.d
[06:07] <seronis> anyone have suggestion on how i can assign functionality to the special keys on my compaq keyboard ?  (internet, search and calculator keys)
[06:07] <elpargo> melichar, or you could try to figure out what's wrong, 99% change it's a misconfiguration of your card.
[06:08] <eitreach> Is it possible to enable all updates to download and install in the background, as it is with security updates?
[06:08] <eitreach> melichar: Linux isn't Windows. Things are different, especially some games since the technologies used in most aren't native to this system.
[06:08] <seronis> strangely enough volume up/down, mute and hibernate already work
[06:08] <melichar> elpargo:  i've been playing with the settings for 12+ hours, and i have gotten no where
[06:08] <dinkus> elpargo: doesnt that install a different keyboard layout rather than a different input method for an american keyboard layout?
[06:08] <elpargo> dinkus, both
[06:08] <Hilton> In Synaptic's category list, I see the same item listed three times. One is marked (universe), the other (multiverse). What are these?
[06:09] <elpargo> melichar, then stop playing :) do you have bad FPS with that game or with every 3d app?
[06:09] <dinkus> okay ill look
[06:09] <Rev> dude, this guy who invented the disk usage calculator is a pure genius.
[06:09] <elpargo> Hilton, they are "sets of packages".
[06:09] <sacamano> hey, whats an easy way to clean up space on my hard drive? i have 8gb for ubuntu, and only 700mb free and i need 1.1gb, ive uninstalled a bunch of programs. i think i have a crapload of libraries im not using
[06:09] <djhash> SegFaultAX: here's what i'm not sure about.. if I use a script to start "application &" and then the script exits.. will init.d monitor "application" or script? and when application crashes.. what will happen? script is run again.. or application is run again?
[06:10] <elpargo> !multiverse
[06:10] <melichar> elpargo: no, but I installed ubuntu because i wanted linux and i know it will work with quake 3 arena/nexuiz, now it doesn't, so i really don't have a purpose for linux
[06:10] <am4zin> Hilton, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[06:10] <Scumgrief> how do you tell if your running 64 or 32 bit linux
[06:10] <ooglebutte> sacamano: apt-get clean   should free some space
[06:10] <Scumgrief> i just realized i don't know if i dled the right version
[06:11] <Hilton> Thank you.
[06:11] <elpargo> melichar, well too bad for you, linux for games isn't it's prime anyway.
[06:11] <ooglebutte> Scumgrief: uname -a   should tell
[06:11] <prince_jammys> Scumgrief: what does 'uname -m' give?
[06:11] <melichar> elpargo: it is for quake lol, theres a large community that uses linux, its just a software problem and i was just wondering if anyone had a solution
[06:11] <Scumgrief> Linux winston-ubuntu 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[06:11] <devdavad> Does anyone know if its possible to remove openoffice on intrepid without removing ubuntu-desktop?
[06:11] <Scumgrief> what would it say if it was 64bit
[06:12] <djhash> Scumgrief: instead of i686.. it'll be x86_64
[06:12] <Scumgrief> oh
[06:12] <Scumgrief> crap lol
[06:12] <ooglebutte> hehe
[06:12] <SegFaultAX> devdavad: openoffice is dug in pretty deep at this point
[06:12] <Scumgrief> i did it again, installed 32 bit linux when i wanted 64 bit rofl
[06:12] <elpargo> melichar, it IS a software problem, but you need to figure out if it's the driver, quake, something else, but since you don't care enough I guess you should indeed go back to windows.
[06:12] <ralpho> cisco warns of down turn after world learns ceo is a mccain supporting dick.
[06:12] <am4zin> devdavad, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, you can remove it...
[06:12] <djhash> yeah.. sometime ago i thought 686 meant 64bit.. and 32bit is 386.. but i was dead wrong.. ;-P
[06:13] <dinkus> elpargo... i'm still getting nothing... that gave me an option for a new keyboard layout... but i still cannot enter chinese... i need to have entered in SCIM but i dont see an option to add a language... also there is nothing i can see in language settings which allows for adding a language
[06:13] <melichar> alright thanks
[06:13] <Scumgrief> lol, well i just seem to dl wrong distro versions
[06:13] <djhash> i have a marker on a CD to prove it too..
[06:13] <JonathanEllis> Is it possible to configure two mice at the same time in xorg.conf? I need both a serial mouse and the autodetected usb mouse. The serial mouse is for a serial spinner on a joystick
[06:14] <ralpho> sorry wrong channel i profusely apologize.
[06:14] <dinkus> is there a place to download chinese as a supported language in synaptic package manager?
[06:15] <elpargo> dinkus, I have never installed chinese stuff, maybe you need a package then try the keyboard, maybe you need this package "chinput"
[06:15] <Scumgrief> Jonathan look into multimouse xorg
[06:15] <Scumgrief> it has a funky name
[06:15] <dinkus> okay... i'm looking thanks
[06:16] <DBO> anyone got any idea how to check if a disk is spun down programatically (even a shell script capable of doing this would be enough)
[06:16] <RenatoSilva> what time is it out tehre
[06:16] <meff> DBO maybe with hdparm
[06:17] <meff> not sure though
[06:17] <DBO> meff, yeah, I think it would be a really cool feature if my program didn't wake up the hdd all the time... but you know... linux sucks enough to not tell me how =P
[06:17] <meff> hehe
[06:18] <Petester> hey
[06:18] <Benalex> Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests?
[06:18] <Petester> i wonder if there is an easy way to setup a network between two linux computers?
[06:18] <dinkus> elpargo.... when i'm looking online its saying i should go to language preferences and just check "chinese" as a supported language... however english is the only language listed and its listed in chinese because the ubuntu install is chinese... how do get the option for other language packs?
[06:18] <Hilton> So I've been having these graphic freeze-up problems with Ubuntu 8.10 (clean install). I just found the following in the X log from the last session:
[06:18] <Hilton> [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuckin an infinite loop.
[06:18] <elpargo> DBO, maybe that's your filesystems, fault.
[06:18] <Hilton> [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping
[06:18] <Hilton> There are dozens of these, with 2-3 of the first line, then one of the second
[06:19] <maxxist> petester yes
[06:19] <DBO> elpargo, nah.  I know its GNOME Do's fault.  I wrote it to do some disk intensive things from time to time.  Which is fine if the disk is spun up...
[06:19] <Petester> maxxist: and that is?
[06:19] <maxxist> petester it all depends on what you want to network
[06:20] <elpargo> dinkus, then you need the language packs.
[06:20] <Scumgrief> Hilton downgrade to 8.04 if this computer is vital to you
[06:20] <dinkus> right but when i search in synaptic i dont know what to search for... everything comes up empty... am i missing a repository?
[06:20] <johnfg> hi guys
[06:20] <Scumgrief> hi
[06:21] <ooglebutte> !repos | dinkus
[06:21] <gigel2007> Are linux/ubuntu games free ?
[06:21] <jumpkick> my desktop just froze+rebooted (not happened in months), are there any diagnostic steps I can take now that its back up?
[06:21] <elpargo> DBO, oh well, maybe there is something in /proc ?
[06:21] <djhash>  !games
[06:21] <Scumgrief> gigel some are
[06:21] <elpargo> gigel2007, depends on the game.
[06:21] <johnfg> I selected the 2 third party software repos.  Are there any other much recommended repos that I should add for 8.10 lts?
[06:21] <gigel2007> Scumgrief: elpargo: counter strike source for example
[06:22] <Scumgrief> no
[06:22] <Scumgrief> that isn't for linux
[06:22] <Scumgrief> you can run it in linux w/ wine or cedega
[06:22] <Scumgrief> but the game it self is not free
[06:22] <djhash> !AppDB
[06:22] <gigel2007> Scumgrief: what about hishttp://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/5
[06:23] <elpargo> dinkus, I'm not sure. but they should be enough guides around did you try http://www.ubuntu.org.cn/?
[06:23] <djhash> gigel2007: that is HL2S servers
[06:23] <Scumgrief> still need a license
[06:23] <djhash> gigel2007: the servers you can install in linux for free
[06:23] <asas> Hi, how do I get ubuntu to make me another xorg.conf?
[06:23] <asas> I've seriously broken the one it built for me initially and I didn't save a backup...
[06:23] <gigel2007> djhash: so it's for free
[06:23] <Venin> whats a fast way to scan lan for connected wireless clients?
[06:24] <Venin> or. all clients even
[06:24] <gigel2007> djhash: right ?
[06:24] <KyPoHja> fakeraid!
[06:24] <Venin> opening the router config to check takes so long
[06:24] <Venin> hehe
[06:24] <djhash> gigel2007: these are CLI servers.. you cant play directly on it.. you need to connect to it from a CSS game..
[06:24] <djhash> gigel2007: they are dedicated servers
[06:24] <Bogus8> what does gnome use to xfer files around... is it specifically wrote or is it like an rsync front end type of thing?
[06:24] <prince_jammys> asas: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:24] <KyPoHja> who knows anything about fakeraid and x-fi
[06:24] <gigel2007> djhash: oh ok thanks !
[06:25] <ooglebutte> asas: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   should do it
[06:26] <puzzlerok> Anyone willing to help?
[06:26] <gigel2007> WHEN I drag and drop from the usb drive a file to FILE System, it says I don't have permistion, do I need to be logged in as root to do that?
[06:26] <asas> sweet, thanks
[06:26] <bn43> Hi I just want to confirm something about raid10 pls
[06:26] <Scumgrief> gigel: drag into your home folder
[06:27] <Scumgrief> you don't have permission at / as a regular user
[06:27] <Scumgrief> only at your /home/USERNAME/
[06:27] <gigel2007> Scumgrief:so I have to sign in as root ?
[06:27] <Scumgrief> no
[06:27] <Scumgrief> use sudo
[06:27] <ooglebutte> puzzlerok: you just state your issue in support channels :)
[06:27] <bn43> I've got 4 drives of 160GB each - therefore my actual space is 240GB right?
[06:27] <Scumgrief> why would you want to move something onto /
[06:27] <Venin> whats the fastest way to scan lan for connected clients?
[06:27] <johnfg> dpkg
[06:27] <Scumgrief> use your home folder
[06:27] <KyPoHja> 160*2
[06:27] <KyPoHja> 320
[06:28] <shiki9> hello
[06:28] <johnfg> Does ubuntu use rpm instead of deb packages?  I'm surprised.
[06:28] <Scumgrief> ubuntu uses deb
