[11:10] <wilson> does anyone know how to fix the above dpkg problem?
[11:10] <P3nnywise> mneptok: How do I use it? Ive installed it buty i cant find an icon or something like that
[11:11] <haxality> any ideas?
[11:11] <P3nnywise> mneptok: How do I use it? Ive installed it buty i cant find an icon or something like that
[11:12] <mneptok> P3nnywise: reboot and look in the upper GNOME panel.
[11:12] <P3nnywise> mneptok: ok
[11:12] <mneptok> wilson: why are you replacing X11?
[11:12] <wilson> i'm in the middle of an update from dapper to edgy
[11:13] <black_13> does ubuntu have support for intell centrino wireless cards?
[11:13] <haxality> black_13: yes. I am using one right now
[11:13] <thoreauputic> !upgrade
[11:13] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:13] <crimsun> wilson: dpkg -P skkinput
[11:13] <haxality> black_13: through the ipw2100/ipw2200 drivers, IIRC
[11:13] <crimsun> wilson: after that, apt-get -f install
[11:13] <mneptok> wilson: how are you doing this upgrade?
[11:14] <wilson> apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:14] <thoreauputic> wilson: read ubotu's URL
 what URL?
[11:15] <ocx32> how can i add a chain with ubuntu?
[11:15] <ocx32> iptables?
[11:15] <thoreauputic> ubotu For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:15] <kobra> thoreauputic : sorry but it is not working ! I have copied the fonts to /usr/share/fonts dir as well as ~/.fonts , what else could be wrong ?
[11:16] <mneptok> kobra: read the instructions carefully
[11:16] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write
[11:16] <mneptok> kobra: (pay attention to updating the font cache)
[11:16] <haxality> I just renamed the pkgstates.old file to pkgstates and it fixed it. will this break anything?
[11:16] <thoreauputic> kobra: try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
[11:16] <P3nnywise> mneptok: network manager tells me that i dont have a network connection
[11:16] <truthfatal> SO, for some reason (I don't know what the reason is yet) I can neither Right-click on my desktop nor does my wallpaper get loaded on login. I think I may have buggered up my sessions settings... the only recent changes I've made are tweaking some settings in beryl. mostly turning off options that I don't use, maybe something in there caused my problem. Does anyone have a hint that might help me out? What is the name of t
[11:16] <truthfatal> he app that controls the desktop (if it's not nautilus?)
[11:16] <mneptok> P3nnywise: so make one.
[11:17] <P3nnywise> mneptok: I cant open it :/ i can see it in the panel and it tells me no network conenction, but i cant do anything with it
[11:17] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write
[11:17] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write
[11:17] <mneptok> P3nnywise: and be aware that not all wireless chipset makers take the time to craft Linux drivers.
[11:17] <wilson> ok thanks guys dpkg -P skkinput did the trick...
[11:18] <haxality> nope, nevermind.
[11:18] <haxality> still can't install anything.
[11:18] <wilson> i can now do apt-get -f install
[11:18] <P3nnywise> mneptok: I use dlink so they probably didnt do it, they are to lazy
[11:18] <haxality> how could this suddenly happen like this?
[11:18] <black_13> haxality i am using fedora but im considering changing ... fedora installed the drivers ran great but  ati drivers nope
[11:18] <mneptok> P3nnywise: what NIC? what chipset? does it have Linux support? if so, is that module GPLed?
[11:18] <Lynoure> stephan21: have you mounted them with a read-only option? That could explain your question.
[11:18] <haxality> it was working fine 20 minutes ago, and now apt is completely useless
[11:18] <Lynoure> stephan21: (I'm just passing by, no time to help deeper now)
[11:19] <mneptok> P3nnywise: and as an extra hint, DLink does not make chipsets.
[11:19] <haxality> black_13: my other computer has an ATi graphics card. the install of the drivers was pretty painless
[11:19] <P3nnywise> mneptok: lol my bad, i thought of something else:P Its an atheros chipset :p
[11:19] <haxality> is there any way to fix apt-get? seriously, this really sucks
[11:19] <Jowi> truthfatal, see in #ubuntu-xgl
[11:19] <stephan21> Lynoure: ofcourse, y i need to edit the fstab.....common since but what do i edit it with
[11:19] <black_13> the computer that is using intel centrino driver a dell?
[11:19] <P3nnywise> mneptok: wouldnt it just be easier to configure wpa_supplicant on your own?
[11:20] <thoreauputic> haxality: try  sudo dpkg --configure -a
[11:20] <truthfatal> thanks Jowi
[11:20] <_james> i have install my nvidia driver.. how to know if it has been successfully installed? is there a command?
[11:20] <thoreauputic> haxality: sometimes fixes a borked dpkg, which is what apt relies on
[11:20] <haxality> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1: field name `B' must be followed by colon
[11:20] <Lynoure> stephan21: you can do  sudo nano /etc/fstab   even :)
[11:20] <haxality> :/
[11:20] <paul__> Hi, can someone help me out please, I am using the keyboard shortcut configuration in ubuntu and I want to configure an alternative Music player when the hot key is pressed, at the moment it opens in rythmbox or something, Anyone have an idea?
[11:20] <stephan21> Lynoure: i know but how lol
[11:21] <Lynoure> stephan21: What do you mean by how? What part are you not getting?
[11:21] <thoreauputic> haxality: how did you get this to happen?
[11:21] <_james> what's this error?  "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 16 02:20:42 2007"   got the error when i do sudo apt-get install vlc
[11:21] <haxality> paul__: go to System>Preferences>Preferred Applications
[11:21] <SHRIKEE> paul__, try system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[11:21] <mneptok> P3nnywise: sure. learn to create a hash of the AP pwd' put it the cohfig files. manually edit the interfaces. etc etc
[11:21] <haxality> thoreauputic: honestly, I don't know. I installed some firmware loading software for my USB MIDI keyboard. that's the last thing I can think of
[11:21] <stephan21> Lynoure: editing the the fstab i guess for write
[11:22] <paul__> SHRIKEE / haxality : neither of those have the ability to change the default music player
[11:22] <mneptok> P3nnywise: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[11:22] <thoreauputic> haxality: was it  deb package or some random thing from the web?
[11:22] <Lynoure> stephan21: write the command I told you above on a commandline
[11:22] <SHRIKEE> paul__, right click the file and set stuff there, i changed a lot of apps to open in other programs there
[11:22] <haxality> uhh. I wouldn't say 'some random thing', but yeah, it's from the internet
[11:22] <_james> what's this error?  "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 16 02:20:42 2007"   got the error when i do sudo apt-get install vlc
[11:22] <P3nnywise> mneptok: ive already got wpa_supplicant,
[11:22] <SHRIKEE> paul__, right click > properties that is
[11:22] <thoreauputic> haxality: sounds like it confused the packaging system....
[11:22] <haxality> blargh!
[11:22] <haxality> is there a way to fix it?
[11:23] <thoreauputic> haxality: you tried  sudo dpkg --configure -a  right ?
[11:23] <paul__> SHRIKEE / haxality : Already did that to open all MP3s with Exaile, but it still defaults and open with Rythmbox when I hit the hot key. Any more ideas?
[11:23] <haxality> ..yeah
[11:23] <stephan21> Lynoure: thats not going to give my write access just able to edit the fstab
[11:23] <P3nnywise> mneptok: and in it I wrote: network={ ssid="name" psk="pass" }
[11:23] <stephan21> Lynoure: i need write access to the drives lol
[11:23] <Lynoure> stephan21: yes it will, unless your system is all messed up
[11:23] <SHRIKEE> paul__, no
[11:23] <Lynoure> stephan21: that's why it starts with  sudo
[11:23] <stephan21> Lynoure: maybe i missed it
[11:23] <thoreauputic> haxality: you can try moving the file it complains about out of the way then re-running the command
[11:24] <mneptok> P3nnywise: that will not work.
[11:24] <haxality> really? hmm
[11:24] <paul__> SHRIKEE : Thanks anyway
[11:24] <stephan21> Lynoure: its umask something
[11:24] <P3nnywise> mneptok: So ive noticed
[11:24] <haxality> also, I only get these errors on some packages
[11:24] <thoreauputic> haxality: well, if it doesn't help, move it back :)
[11:24] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write
[11:25] <Asc> is cedega any good ? is it free ??
[11:25] <thoreauputic> haxality: what happens if you run  sudo apt-get -f install ?
[11:25] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write IN FSTAB
[11:25] <thoreauputic> stephan21: don't repeat
[11:25] <Lynoure> stephan21: ah, the one that will not write to is also your /root partition?
[11:25] <haxality> thoreauputic: same error :(
[11:25] <Lynoure> stephan21: then you just need to remount it rw
[11:26] <haxality> how the bloody christmas did a single tiny script bork everything so severely?
[11:26] <stephan21> awww i hate my life lol
[11:26] <haxality> I was always under the impression linux was completely capable of compiling and like, running software
[11:26] <thoreauputic> haxality: so try renaming/moving the file it complains about and try  sudo apt-get -f install again , or sudo dpkg --configure -a  or both
[11:26] <stephan21> Lynoure: thats what im trying to do in fstab
[11:27] <thoreauputic> haxality: apparently that file has asyntax error if I remember your error
[11:27] <stephan21> Lynoure: UUID=39e85568-df8b-4b5c-b3ed-968ea679b6fb /media/2     reiserfs defaults        0       2
[11:27] <haxality> that file errors it every time
[11:27] <stephan21> # /dev/hdb4
[11:27] <haxality> wait a second.
[11:27] <stephan21> Lynoure: thats my drive...but its only readf
[11:27] <Lynoure> stephan21: And you tried remounting as rw already?
[11:27] <haxality> I think I might have uncommented some repos
[11:27] <haxality> in my sources.list
[11:27] <paul__> SHRIKEE / haxality : FYI, solution located :- Easiest way to create symlink to proper app, i.e. "ln -s /usr/bin/exaile /usr/local/bin/rhythmbox"
[11:27] <thoreauputic> haxality: :/
[11:27] <haxality> er, commented
[11:27] <haxality> would that do it?
[11:27] <thoreauputic> !repos
[11:27] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[11:27] <thoreauputic> !easysource | haxality
[11:27] <ubotu> haxality: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[11:28] <Lynoure> stephan21: that is   sudo -o remount,rw mountpointname
[11:28] <thoreauputic> haxality: if your sources are borked, yes, you will get errors
[11:28] <stephan21> Lynoure: i dont wanna have to do it everytime.....should be able to edit fstab to do it when system starts
[11:28] <haxality> ok.
[11:29] <haxality> so, couldn't I go and uncomment those repos and do aptitude update/upgrade to fix it?
[11:29] <Lynoure> stephan21: after your /root is rw, you can edit the fstab
[11:29] <thoreauputic> haxality: make sure you update after fixing your /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:29] <thoreauputic> haxality: you can uncomment them, assuming they are actually right :)
[11:29] <Lynoure> stephan21: if it is already, you can edit it now as sudo, if not, you cannot really skip this step to edit it
[11:30] <stephan21> Lynoure: i can already edit it
[11:30] <stephan21> Lynoure: i just dont know what to edit it with
[11:30] <haxality> nope, didn't fix it.
[11:30] <stephan21> Lynoure: for the write that is
[11:30] <thoreauputic> haxality: it isn't magic - if you remove something that is needed for dependencies apt will complain
[11:31] <shinobi2> i installed libnet-ssh-perl ; but when i run perl script, i have http://rafb.net/p/xaFvrl68.html
[11:31] <haxality> ok.
[11:31] <haxality> well, this is good, apt is actually updating packages now
[11:31] <thoreauputic> cool :)
[11:31] <ocx32> where can i read iptables log?
[11:32] <Lynoure> stephan21: What you have does not look like it should be ro. The problem is not just that a normal user cannot write to it?
[11:32] <haxality> oh yay, error again!
[11:32] <thoreauputic> ocx32: usually /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/messages depending how you configured iptables
[11:32] <Lynoure> stephan21: But like I warned earlier, gotta go now, good luck.
[11:32] <SHRIKEE> anyone know about routing and vpn?
[11:32] <haxality> sigh.
[11:33] <Lynoure> !anyone | SHRIKEE
[11:33] <ubotu> SHRIKEE: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:33] <SHRIKEE> *sigh*
[11:33] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: Many people here know plenty about those.
[11:33] <SHRIKEE> heh k
[11:33] <haxality> ok, so assuming that I broke it by commenting out repos, and I just uncommented them, how, theoretically, could I get apt somewhere near working condition again?
[11:33] <Tmi> So I might get my new widescreen monitor today that I've ordered - do you guys reckon it might be troublesome to get it installed in Ubuntu, or should it all work from the start? (I have my nvidia drivers installed so that should be no problem)
[11:33] <thoreauputic> SHRIKEE: that implied question is incredibly vague :)
[11:33] <Asc> is cedega any good, I've tried Wine but didnt get my games to work right
[11:33] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: But at least I'm too tired to milk out the question every time....
[11:34] <haxality> Tmi: should be a matter of plugging it in and picking the right resolution
[11:34] <SHRIKEE> well, ive got a VPN which kinda works. but my msn and mail are not routed through the vpn connection when i connect it. how to fix that
[11:34] <Flannel> haxality: sudo apt-get update
[11:34] <thoreauputic> !cedega
[11:34] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[11:34] <Tmi> ah, that's what I hoped :)
[11:34] <haxality> Flannel: I still can't install packages
[11:34] <Flannel> haxality: what error do you get?
[11:34] <linux_user400354> free cedega downloads via torrents
[11:35] <haxality> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1: field name `B' must be followed by colon
[11:35] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: this isn't a warez channel
[11:35] <haxality> I've tried replacing that file with the old version, and renaming it completely, neither fixed that error
[11:35] <thoreauputic> haxality: and is it?
[11:35] <mneptok> linux_user400354: stop advertising illegal torrents
[11:35] <haxality> and is what?
[11:35] <thoreauputic> hexidigital: followed by a colon
[11:36] <haxality> erm
[11:36] <haxality> one second
[11:36] <SHRIKEE> Lynoure well, ive got a VPN which kinda works. but my msn and mail are not routed through the vpn connection when i connect it. how to fix that
[11:36] <linux_user400354> why is the i686 kernel in the ubuntu repositories obsolete?
[11:36] <thoreauputic> !generic | linux_user400354
[11:36] <ubotu> linux_user400354: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[11:36] <haxality> well, seeing as how it's somehow hashed, I couldn't tell you
[11:36] <mneptok> linux_user400354: because as of Edgy Ubuntu is using a -generic kernel
[11:36] <haxality> all you see in a text editor is garbage
[11:37] <ocx32> thoreauputic: i see the log but the port number is not displayed in thast log
[11:37] <haxality> there is a B, though
[11:37] <linux_user400354> why is it better to use generic? what if you arent changing out the cpu or going to try to run the hard drive on another computer?
[11:37] <ocx32> i would like to log the port number that the intruder tried to open
[11:37] <Tmi> the word "generic", does it mean something like "for all"?
[11:37] <Flannel> Tmi: correct
[11:37] <thoreauputic> ocx32: you might want to increase the verbosity in your iptables log level
[11:38] <thoreauputic> !iptables | ocx32
[11:38] <ubotu> ocx32: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[11:38] <Flannel> linux_user400354: what?  Well, if you switch arches completely (386 to ppc for instance) you'd need to reinstall
[11:38] <kiwi_> thoreauputic : thanks =)
[11:39] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: I saw your question, but I'm not here at the moment long enough to help you, as I need to get some real work done (this is not my paid job). Someone else probably will.
[11:39] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: i've forgotten what you are thanking men for, but you're welcome anyway :)
[11:39] <haxality> 3~!$#
[11:39] <haxality> this is frustrating.
[11:39] <thoreauputic> errr -- men/me
[11:39] <kiwi_> thoreauputic: update-rc.d =)
[11:39] <Flannel> linux_user400354: generic uses all the optimizations for specific processors, it just determines them at runtime
[11:39] <SHRIKEE> Lynoure, hmm
[11:39] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: ahah ! :)
[11:39] <stephan21> can someone please tell my how i set write access to my reiser fs in fstab
[11:39] <kiwi_> you know where i can find any docs about all the ubuntu scripts like update-rc ... etc ..
[11:39] <kiwi_> ?
[11:40] <SHRIKEE> !vpn
[11:40] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[11:40] <hjmills> does anybody have wifi roaming working "perfectly"??
[11:40] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: debian.org is a good starting point, probably
[11:40] <Tomcat_> hjmills: Not even Windows/OSX users have that. ;D
[11:40] <SHRIKEE> hjmills, pretty much, with networkmanager
[11:40] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: most of this stuff is debian
[11:40] <haxality> OSXs wifi is actually pretty awful from my experience
[11:40] <Tomcat_> hjmills: But it works alright with nm, as SHRIKEE said.
[11:40] <haxality> but I don't want to start any flame wars :P
[11:40] <linux_user400354> does anyone have gaim 2.0 or 2.0..5 beta?
[11:41] <thoreauputic> haxality: depends a lot on hardware
[11:41] <Tomcat_> haxality: Sure, and much better than for Win or Linux, but it's not what I would call "perfect" :)
[11:41] <haxality> yeah, I just meant the UI part of it
[11:41] <thoreauputic> haxality: ie. driver availability
[11:41] <hjmills> Tomcat_ & SHRIKEE: thanks
[11:41] <thoreauputic> haxality: network-manager is pretty good
[11:41] <haxality> yeah
[11:41] <haxality> ok, so if aptitude is broken, what can I do to fix it.
[11:42] <Flannel> linux_user400354: 2.0 is in edgy
[11:42] <haxality> I'm pretty much willing to remove the entire thing and install it from scratch
[11:42] <thoreauputic> haxality: catch 22 - dpkg/apt is broken, which makes uninstalling it rather problematic
[11:42] <FirstStrike> what in the world
[11:42] <haxality> damnation!
[11:42] <FirstStrike> whenever i run wine X crashes
[11:42] <haxality> this is so irksome.
[11:43] <haxality> of all the stuff to suddenly kick the bucket, it had to be the entire package management system
[11:43] <treb0r> Anybody got a moment?
[11:43] <SHRIKEE> who knows how to setup proper routes for vpn or knows where i can find ubuntu tutorials
[11:44] <thoreauputic> haxality: this is why when you follow howtos it pays to undertand that there's a risk to the packaging system in stuff that does an end run around it
[11:44] <treb0r> I've been having problems with an ubuntu install I did for a friend. Everything seems ok, but copy and paste are dodgy in evolution...
[11:44] <thoreauputic> !vpn
[11:44] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[11:44] <SHRIKEE> thoreauputic, that didnt help
[11:44] <haxality> thoreauputic: right, but I've been using linux for like 3 years and my experience has always been that compiled/installed programs played nice with package managers
[11:45] <haxality> also, it's a little bit short-sighted to expect every piece of software on the entire internet to come prepackaged for ubuntu/debian
[11:45] <thoreauputic> SHRIKEE: ah, well that's all I know to give you, sorry
[11:45] <haxality> I should have used that dpkg-building thing
[11:45] <haxality> :/
[11:45] <haxality> is there some slim chance that if I remove the software I installed, it will fix it?
[11:45] <SHRIKEE> np, gotta go now. ill look into it more, later
[11:45] <thoreauputic> haxality: yeah, usually - I agree ( assuming the stuff goes somewhere safe like /usr/local or /opt )
[11:46] <haxality> well, this software tied into udev somehow.. could that be the root of the problem?
[11:46] <thoreauputic> haxality: ooh - deep voodoo in udev, yeah
[11:46] <haxality> aha, I didn't know that
[11:46] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: do you already have the vpn as your default route, e.g. done   sudo ip route replace default dev ppp0  or similar?
[11:46] <thoreauputic> haxality: I don't understand it yet myself :)
[11:46] <haxality> I always thought udev was faaaar distanced from apt
[11:47] <haxality> ok, good, this is making progress
[11:47] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: Yep, I should be working, but it is hard leaving people in a bind
[11:47] <linux_user400354> !nvidia
[11:47] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:47] <thoreauputic> haxality: udev is the underlying stuff that talks with HAl and is connected with hardware recognition etc
[11:47] <haxality> any remote clue as to how one would go about removing something from udev
[11:47] <thoreauputic> haxality: that's roughly what I think I know - don't quote me :)
[11:48] <haxality> oop nm 'make uninstall' did it nicely
[11:48] <_james> how to automatically mount ntfs partition on boot up?
[11:48] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: if unsure, pastebin the result of  route
[11:48] <haxality> ok.
[11:48] <thoreauputic> !ntfs
[11:48] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:48] <haxality> let's hope this fixes it
[11:48] <haxality> #!$#!$!@#
[11:48] <haxality> I can't believe this. i spent like a month getting this system set up perfectly, and I just hosed it in like 3 commands
[11:49] <_james> !ntfs-3g
[11:49] <thoreauputic> haxality: yeah, it happens, unfortunately
[11:49] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[11:49] <Flannel> haxality: that's ok.  You can back everything up, and reinstalls aren't that painful with proper backups
[11:49] <haxality> oh?
[11:49] <_james> !fuse
[11:49] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[11:49] <_james> can i use ntfs-3g on dapper?
[11:49] <thoreauputic> haxality: do you have a separate /home partition?
[11:50] <haxality> I know I can like, make a giant .tar of my filesystem, but would it be possible to back up what packages I have installed
[11:50] <Flannel> haxality: yeah, you might even be able to get a dpkg -l to work, so you even know what packages you have
[11:50] <Flannel> haxality: dpkg -l
[11:50] <haxality> awesome
[11:50] <Flannel> haxality: assuming it doesn't error ;)
[11:50] <haxality> GARGH
[11:50] <thoreauputic> haxality: have a look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:50] <haxality> it errors too
[11:51] <haxality> oh wow
[11:51] <haxality> there's a crapload of .debs in there
[11:51] <thoreauputic> haxality: if dpkg -l errors , you are in deep doo doo
[11:51] <Lynoure> haxality: dpkg --get-selections  is a tad neater
[11:51] <thoreauputic> Lynoure: his dpkg is borked
[11:51] <haxality> Lynoure: unfortunately, my dpkg is completely broken
[11:51] <thoreauputic> yup
[11:51] <emss> haxality:  /var/cache/apt/archives, you could also use a rescue cd and reinstall :)
[11:52] <emss> oh someone said it already sorry :\
[11:52] <Lynoure> haxality: ouch.
[11:52] <thoreauputic> haxality: if you feel geeky, you can start from scratch in a chroot using debootstrap :)
[11:52] <haxality> I am intrigued.
[11:52] <Flannel> haxality: /var/cache/dpkg/status should have indications of what you have installed
[11:52] <thoreauputic> haxality: hang on a tic
[11:52] <haxality> basically, I can back up my /home to my external HDD
[11:53] <SeraVitae> can someone name a program for talking over serial ports? i installed one in ubuntu the other day but i forgot the name.
[11:53] <SeraVitae> had a c in it i think
[11:53] <afflux> any way to play an audio cd via terminal?
[11:53] <haxality> I don't even have a /var/cache/dpkg directory :O
[11:53] <emss> afflux: cdio mplayer etc.
[11:53] <Flannel> haxality: haha.  well, that explains why dpkg is borked ;)
[11:53] <haxality> wow
[11:53] <Lynoure> haxality: What did you do to it? :)
[11:54] <haxality> how the flying expletive deleted did I manage to do that
[11:54] <[h] tony|afk> moinmoin
[11:54] <haxality> as much as I want to pretend like I know what I'm doing, linux continues to blow my mind
[11:55] <thoreauputic> haxality: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/426
[11:55] <Flannel> haxality: were you playing around in a root terminal perhaps?
[11:55] <thoreauputic> haxality: debootsrap ( fun but a bit convoluted - you can also use it to install ubuntu withthe right repos)
[11:56] <treb0r> I've been having problems with an ubuntu install I did for a friend. Everything seems ok, but copy and paste are dodgy in evolution...
[11:56] <thoreauputic> Flannel: good guess :)
[11:56] <Flannel> !install  | haxality, the Knoppix howto explains how to install from debbootstrap

[11:56] <haxality> Flannel: no.. all I've done root-wise in the last few hours is install that one piece of software, and do a whole bunch of apt-ing
[11:56] <prestocaso> hello all
[11:56] <haxality> hmm.
[11:56] <haxality> say I wanted to take the lazy route and just install it from the Ubuntu CD
[11:57] <prestocaso> got a issue with my audio on my new laptop
[11:57] <haxality> how difficult would it be to just feed it a list of packages and have it reinstall them
[11:57] <prestocaso> meaning no audio
[11:57] <thoreauputic> haxality: no real problem - just back up your data I guess
[11:57] <Flannel> haxality: remember to back up your /etc ;)  all that configuration stuff is what kills reinstalls.  Well, if you have apache configred and stuff
[11:57] <prestocaso> any takers please
[11:57] <Jordan_U> How to I suspend the computer though the terminal ( or a script ) ?
[11:57] <thoreauputic> haxality: see dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections
[11:57] <haxality> I hate linux because it can be confoundingly easy to break it, I love linux because a complete reinstall is the most painless process ever given proper backups
[11:58] <haxality> thoreauputic: bzzt! no dpkg!
[11:58] <haxality> :P
[11:58] <stephan21> can someone please tell my how i set write access to my reiser fs in fstab
[11:58] <thoreauputic> haxality: doh - I mean after reinstalling
[11:58] <Flannel> haxality: linux assumes you know what youre doing.  Whether that's for good, or for evil.
[11:58] <haxality> haha
[11:58] <haxality> this is true.
[11:58] <haxality> I don't blame it
[11:58] <thoreauputic> haxality: you can use those with your saved deb packages
[11:58] <mneptok> haxality: it's NOT confoundingly easy to break Windows?!
[11:58] <haxality> mneptok: not really, at least in my experience
[11:58] <haxality> mneptok: then again, it was the only OS I used from the first time I touched a computer until like 2 months ago
[11:58] <cherva> hi all i have installed beryl but when i wanted to test the motion blur only the mouse is working I cant restart gnome or log in to console (Ctrl + F1,2,3,...) pls help
[11:59] <bizkut> ubuntu rocks!!
[11:59] <bizkut> :DD
[11:59] <thoreauputic> haxality: deleting system files on windows is not hard ;-)
[11:59] <bizkut> cherva:
[11:59] <prestocaso> i want ubuntu to rock to but i cant here anything
[11:59] <prestocaso> oops i mean hear
[11:59] <thoreauputic> haxality: or corrupting them...
 ?????
[11:59] <haxality> don't get me wrong, I still hate windows
[11:59] <Jordan_U> mneptok: lets put it this way, it is easier to do something wrong and screw up linux, it's also easy to do everything right and still screw up windows :)
[12:00] <haxality> heh
[12:00] <haxality> very well said, Jordan_U
[12:00] <haxality> ok. so let me get this straight. I need to back up /etc/ as well as the obvious stuff like my /home/
[12:00] <haxality> copy all those .debs
[12:00] <haxality> anything else?
[12:00] <bizkut> cherva: ctrl+alt+ backspace
[12:00] <Homer_mobile> Hiya is there a threaded encoding app at the moment im using devede but it does not take advantage of my dual core
 i sad the PC is not responding i can't restart gnome
[12:01] <prestocaso> anyone here want to help me with my audio please im so close to getting everything set up
[12:01] <thoreauputic> haxality: make sure you get the hidden files in /home/you ( tar will do that for you IIRC)
[12:02] <Jordan_U> haxality: If you don't mind re-downloading everything it would probably be easier to get and set selections than to back up the .debs themselves.
[12:02] <cherva> i can only use recovery console mode how can i stop beryl from booting on startup ?
[12:02] <haxality> Jordan_U: I'm alright with that, actually
[12:02] <thoreauputic> haxality: I suggest that you reintroduce the /etc/  stuff gradually in case something is broken in there too
[12:02] <haxality> Jordan_U: the fewer dodgy packages, the better
[12:03] <prestocaso> anyone??
[12:03] <thoreauputic> haxality: if you have decent bandwidth, reinstalling from the net is not too horrible ( i mean packages etc)
[12:03] <cherva> how can I stop beryl from starting on startup from the recovery console
[12:03] <haxality> thoreauputic: I'm completely ok with it, as long as someone tells me what I have to do
[12:03] <haxality> heh
[12:03] <haxality> I would read the dpkg help stuff, but..
[12:04] <CheshireViking> how much space would i need to install ubuntu? i want to set up a dual boot on a windows xp machine, but there's only 10Gb free before I do any repartioning & i'll need to leave 1/2 that for windows - would 5gb be ok?
[12:04] <Homer_mobile> Just remove berly-manager
[12:04] <thoreauputic> haxality: reading about debootstrap and chroots is interesting anyway, if that kind of thing is your bag
[12:04] <bizkut> CheshireViking: 2g will be ok
[12:04] <Jordan_U> haxality: dpkg --get-selections > foo.txt on your current install then cat foo.txt | sudo dpkg --set-selections on your fresh install
[12:04] <haxality> awesome Jordan_U, thank you
[12:05] <thoreauputic> haxality: I have Debian sid running in a chroot on Ubuntu here as it happens :)
[12:05] <haxality> thoreauputic: I actually love highly nerdy stuff like that, I just find it hard to try out experimental new install techniques on my main computer
  how to remove it when I am in recovery console mode i know what to remove
[12:05] <thoreauputic> haxality: fair enough :)
[12:05] <haxality> thoreauputic: also, chroot is probably the single greatest command ever created
[12:05] <linux_user400354> cherva: sudo apt-get remove beryl-manager
[12:05] <thoreauputic> haxality: :))
[12:06] <prestocaso> can someone please help me with my audio issue on my laptop
[12:06] <haxality> I had a lengthy conversation with my only linux zealot friend about it actually
[12:06] <haxality> it was excellent
[12:06] <cherva> i dont want to remove it from my pc just not to boot at start up
[12:06] <thoreauputic> haxality: the really cool thing is that my Debian chroot is not in vmware/qemu etc - so it runs at native speed
[12:06] <cherva> so i can log in and remove the motion blur
[12:06] <CheshireViking> bizkut: that sounds promising, maybe see what i can remove from windows first & then defrag the drive & see how much space can be free'd up, i'd like to get 5gb for ubuntu, plus the swap
[12:07] <prestocaso> cna anyone else see my typing
[12:07] <haxality> thoreauputic: that's exactly what we were talking about, heh
[12:07] <thoreauputic> haxality: :D
[12:07] <linux_user400354> cherva: rm -rf beryl*
[12:07] <linux_user400354> cherva: that will remove the blur
[12:07] <haxality> Jordan_U: ..one slight problem. what if I can't do dpkg --get-selections?
[12:08] <haxality> couldn't I just boot the ubuntu livecd and chroot to my current install to run all this stuff?
[12:08] <Jordan_U> haxality: I actually just tried it and it didn't work the way I hoped it would
[12:08] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: that isn't particularly funny
[12:08] <Jordan_U> haxality: Why can't you ?
[12:08] <haxality> I'm asking, can I?
[12:08] <haxality> my dpkg is completely dead
[12:08] <haxality> it can't do anything
[12:09] <linux_user400354> cherva: sorry, its rm -rf .beryl*
[12:09] <linux_user400354> cherva it will give you all settings back to default
[12:09] <thoreauputic> haxality: well if you chroot to your existing install dpkg will not work - but if you make a separate chroot...
[12:09] <Jordan_U> haxality: Oh, most likely, as long as it's not segfaulting or anything truly nasty like that
[12:09] <haxality> blargh
[12:09] <prestocaso> can anyone else see my text
[12:09] <haxality> last time I friggin break core system components.
[12:09] <linux_user400354> prestocaso: no
[12:09] <Flannel> prestocaso: nope
[12:10] <thoreauputic> haxality: this is where debootstrap can help, if you want to do the research
[12:10] <prestocaso> or am i just being ignored
[12:10] <_james> need help how can i read and write access through a mounted ntfs partition from windows? help anyone.. i already followed the fuse but i can't access
[12:10] <prestocaso> ah ok
[12:10] <linux_user400354> thoreauputic: wasnt supposed to be funny
[12:10] <thoreauputic> haxality: IRC is not the best place to do a howto  :)
[12:10] <haxality> yeah
[12:10] <prestocaso> now i assume you can correct
[12:10] <haxality> I completely understand
[12:10] <haxality> ok.
[12:10] <haxality> I was tarring up my home dir
[12:10] <haxality> and it errored, I THINK
[12:10] <eb[O] th> how can i register a chanel??
[12:10] <haxality> saying file size limit exceeded.
[12:10] <Flannel> eb[O] th: /msg chanserv help
[12:10] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: well, how is removing beryl going to help the guy if he actually wants beryl working?
[12:11] <eb[O] th> thx
[12:11] <Flannel> linux_user400354: that sort of thing will get you banned, by the way.
[12:11] <prestocaso> hello again flannel
[12:11] <_james> need help how can i read and write access through a mounted ntfs partition from windows? help anyone.. i already followed the fuse but i can't access
[12:11] <prestocaso> install went fine just have no audio
[12:11] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: you are already on thin ice from a while back
[12:12] <linux_user400354> thoreauputic: first he asked to remove beryl, so i told him how to do it with apt. second he asked how to remove the blur effect, i told him how to reset all settings back to default. third i dont care what you say.
[12:13] <haxality> am I basically gonna have to back up all those .debs?
[12:13] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: sorry, I misread your post -  I missed the dot :)
[12:13] <haxality> or is there some magic way to get a list of currently installed packages
[12:13] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: so, misunderstanding

[12:13] <prestocaso> hello flannel??
[12:14] <haxality> also, I need to split an archive.
[12:14] <haxality> how do I do this with tar
[12:14] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: in this case what I think doesn't matter, but it would if I decided to remove you :) Anyway, my apologies for missing the correction, OK ?
[12:14] <Flannel> prestocaso: howdy
[12:14] <prestocaso> hello and thansk for thfo earlier

[12:15] <prestocaso> ubuntus running on the laptop just dont
[12:15] <prestocaso> oops ill check those links
[12:17] <Jordan_U> haxality: Sorry, I am tired, the correct way to install the packages from the foo.txt selections list is to: sudo dpkg --set-selections < foo.txt && sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
[12:17] <haxality> Jordan_U: it's cool, I
[12:17] <haxality> am also sleepy.
[12:18] <haxality> however, I cannot use dpkg in any respect
[12:18] <julo> hi
[12:18] <haxality> is there some kludgy way I can temporarily fix dpkg, so I can make the list
[12:18] <julo> I'm trying to test compiz on feisty. Do I only need to install desktop-effects ? Or do I also need xserver-xgl ?
[12:19] <Jordan_U> haxality: You actually tried, I would think that the --get-selections switch would work even when you can't do much else with dpkg? ( again unless it's just segfaulting or something )
[12:19] <haxality> yeah, I did try
[12:19] <haxality> it's no good
[12:20] <haxality> trust me, if there's a way for me to make a magic text file that installs all my packages for me, I want to do it
[12:20] <prestocaso> hey flannel can i share a bit of info with you about my sound card
[12:20] <Jordan_U> julo: #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[12:21] <roxlu> hi all!
[12:21] <roxlu> when I changed /etc/fstab is there a way to 'reload' it ? w/o restarting?
[12:22] <julo> Jordan_U: thanks
[12:23] <gma> roxlu: depends a bit on how you've changed it
[12:23] <gma> roxlu: if you've removed stuff from it, no
[12:23] <roxlu> I added a samba mount
[12:24] <gma> roxlu: best thing to do is just to try mounting the dir that you've configured it to mount on
[12:24] <gma> roxlu: it'll read fstab for the details
[12:24] <gma> roxlu: so mount /path/to/samba will do it
[12:24] <roxlu> oke
[12:25] <christopherl> I think I killed my Ubuntu when I Installed Debian. How can I see if its still alive?

[12:27] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso look like it yeah. try alsaconfig
[12:28] <prestocaso> ok thanks
[12:28] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso or alsamixer even
[12:28] <roxlu> I get an error online 3, that its "bad"
[12:28] <Jordan_U> haxality: It looks like ( I am just guessing though ) that dpkg --get-selections just parses the file /var/lib/dpkg/status so you may be able to replace that file on a machine with a working dpkg and run --get-selections from there
[12:29] <haxality> hmmm ok
[12:29] <haxality> cool
[12:29] <haxality> by the way, thanks for all the help
[12:29] <Jordan_U> haxality: Don't depend on that working though :)
[12:29] <haxality> yeah, I think I'm gonna steer clear of it actually
[12:29] <haxality> I really don't mind doing a fresh install, to be honest
[12:30] <haxality> it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something!
[12:30] <haxality> :D
[12:30] <haxality> one question.
[12:30] <roxlu> gma: its about that "cifs" line.. but yesterday I heard that was the "new" way of mounting a samba share
[12:30] <gma> roxlu: I hardly ever use samba. sorry, can't help you.
[12:30] <haxality> if I use split to make smaller files, how do I reassemble them?
[12:30] <majesty89> hello, can anybody help me about /usr/bin/ld -lesd couldn't found error??? at least, you can say we don't know :)
[12:31] <AndrewB|School> roxlu give us the 'bad line'
[12:31] <roxlu> AndrewB|School: http://paste-it.net/vd7f494
[12:32] <Jordan_U> majesty89: No offense, but if everybody commented to say they didn't know it would flood the channel, If nobody answers, chances are nobody knows
[12:32] <gma> haxality: try cat
[12:32] <gma> haxality: cat file1 file2 file3 > bigfile
[12:32] <haxality> ..what? oh, right
[12:32] <gma> haxality: (maybe)
[12:33] <haxality> well let's try it with a test file
[12:33] <daning> how to change #mh in claws mails
[12:33] <daning> where do claws mails keep my emails?
[12:33] <roxlu> AndrewB|School: any idea?
[12:34] <AndrewB|School>   roxlu  try http://paste-it.net/952
[12:34] <roxlu> AndrewB|School: what did you change? (the auto?)
[12:34] <AndrewB|School> the fyle system
[12:34] <AndrewB|School> file
[12:35] <AndrewB|School> sorry been translating, in scots mode
[12:35] <roxlu> oh yeah, tried that.. and than: mount //gamma/web
[12:35] <prestocaso> hmmmm everything seems setup andrewB but still no audio
[12:35] <roxlu> mean: mount //domain/share
[12:35] <roxlu> than I get "Can't find //domain/share in your fstab ??"
[12:35] <pramz> roxlu: what are you trying to do ? automount smb filesystems at boot ?
[12:36] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso unmute everything the ntest it with echo 'foooooooooooo' >> /dev/dsp
[12:36] <roxlu> pramz: yes
[12:36] <haxality> holy
[12:36] <haxality> it works
[12:36] <pramz> roxlu: if you want to mount a share called files on a machine called box1
[12:36] <gma> haxality: well wha'd'ya know
[12:36] <pramz> then the first part is //box1/files
[12:36] <haxality> gma: thank you
[12:36] <gma> haxality: cat; does what it says on the tin!
[12:36] <haxality> seriously!
[12:36] <gma> haxality: np
[12:37] <roxlu> pramz:  so  thats the "//domain/share" here: http://paste-it.net/vd7f494
[12:37] <haxality> haha I love how the split man page has Richard Stallman in the credits
[12:37] <pramz> roxlu: yes
[12:37] <roxlu> yes, still te samen :-(
[12:37] <roxlu> -n
[12:37] <pramz> roxlu: can you mount it manually ?
[12:37] <roxlu> yes i can
[12:38] <roxlu> but I want to 'auto-mount' it... can't I run a .sh file on startup?
[12:38] <hagabaka> how can I find out what version of ubuntu is running?
[12:38] <gma> hagabaka: cat /etc/issue
[12:38] <pramz> what error do you get ?
[12:38] <hagabaka> ah, thanks
[12:39] <prestocaso> everything is turned up and unmuted andrew
[12:39] <gma> hagabaka: there may be a cleaner way (that's the getty login prompt message)
[12:39] <prestocaso> still no sound
[12:39] <roxlu> pramz: mount: can't find //domain/share in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:39] <JdGordon> hey, how do i figure out what is causing my computer to hang on shutdown after the ubuntu shutting down screen?
[12:39] <pramz> oh
[12:39] <pramz> type mount <mountpoint>
[12:39] <pramz> like if the line is
[12:39] <gma> hagabaka: issues.net doesn't have the new lines on, but you can't really rely on it as it could easily change from version to version (in format)
[12:39] <gma> hagabaka: s/issues.net/issue.net/
[12:40] <pramz> //box1/files /mnt/box1/files smbfs credentials /home/pramz/.smbpasswd auto 0 0
[12:40] <hagabaka> the newlines?
[12:40] <roxlu> hmm so : mount mnt/domain/share, when usin gthis: mnt/domain/share
[12:40] <pramz> then mount /mnt/box1/files
[12:40] <pramz> if that dir does not exist then mkdir -p /mnt/box1/files
[12:40] <roxlu> yes I'm doing that.. still the same
[12:40] <gma> hagabaka: I've got Ubuntu 6.10 \n \l, followed by a blank line in /etc/issue
[12:40] <hagabaka> ah, \n \l
[12:40] <gma> hagabaka: my issue.net doesn't have them
[12:40] <pramz> can you ping the server by name ?
[12:40] <pramz> as in ping box1
[12:41] <gma> hagabaka: issue.net is the prompt for remote logins; many admins change it
[12:41] <prestocaso> anything else andrewB
[12:41] <haxality> haha I'm starting to think it might be slightly resource-hungry to ask split to make 1500meg files
[12:41] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso what chipset was it?
[12:42] <christopherl> Im on Debian now, I can't boot up my old Ubuntu, there is no Ubuntu to choose in Boot menu
[12:42] <christopherl> anyone?

[12:43] <prestocaso> its a gateway mx6431 laptop
[12:43] <sasy> chi mi aiuta?
[12:43] <roxlu> gma, AndrewB|School pramz got it! there needed a comma between the "auto" working now
[12:43] <pramz> roxlu: awesome

[12:49] <surabaya`> How made ubuntu as router
[12:49] <linux_user400354> surabaya`: iptables
[12:49] <rockzman> hello everyone
[12:49] <prestocaso> hllo
[12:49] <aldelv> HI all,  I have  this strange problem that my keyboard produces spurious dupliccate characters.  I do not have  this problem under windows.  Suggestions
[12:49] <serishema> surbyaya: the easiest way if you don't know anything about iptables is to use a program called kmyfirewall
[12:49] <serishema> it has a template that will do a no frills set up for you
[12:49] <rockzman> I need a tool that sends me an alarm everytime an user log in on my system do anyone know such tool osr sshd plugin
[12:50] <surabaya`> How made ubuntu as router Beginning with early of the installation any tutorial ?
[12:51] <ttmrichter> linux_user400354: I get it anytime a find walks through /proc.
[12:51] <ttmrichter> linux_user400354: I just learned to prune /proc from the list.  Or stick to a single file system or whatever..
[12:51] <ttmrichter> surabaya`: You have to mess with iptables or use a third-party tool to configure them yourself.
[12:51] <linux_user400354> ttmrichter: i didnt. chris@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo find /proc -iname a
[12:51] <linux_user400354> chris@ubuntu:~/Desktop$
[12:52] <serishema> ssurabya: once installed if using gnome open synaptic, if using KDE open adept. Enable the multiverse and universe repositories as shown in the FAQ in the channel topic. Install ky myfirewall
[12:52] <serishema> once installed open terminal and type sudo kymyfirewall
[12:52] <serishema> select the internet router template and follow the on screen instructions
[12:52] <prestocaso> did you happen to get that info crimsun
[12:53] <rockzman> I need a tool that sends me an alarm everytime an user log in on my system do anyone know such tool osr sshd plugin
[12:53] <perka> Is it possible to boot off a cd and then use a dvd iso from a usb drive to install ubuntu?
[12:53] <serishema> perka: it may be with the undocumented expert mode.
[12:53] <surabaya`> If ip public I 222.
[12:53] <surabaya`> 134.
[12:53] <surabaya`> 0.
[12:53] <surabaya`> 155 in eth0 how seting and configurasi (he ordered)
[12:54] <surabaya`> If ip public I <IP_ADDRESS> in eth0 how seting and configurasi (he ordered)
[12:54] <perka> serishema, so is there anywhere you can read anything about that? :)
[12:54] <serishema> surbaya: try using the gnome network configuration option in the system administration menu. However these are basic questions that are all answered in the FAQ
[12:54] <serishema> hold on i'll have a look
[12:54] <linux_user400354> ttmrichter: you could use the -mount option of find to restrict your search to mounted partitions
[12:54] <surabaya`> ok
[12:54] <surabaya`> thanks
[12:55] <prestocaso> you there crimsun
[12:55] <linux_user400354> ttmrichter: i mean only the filesystems you tell it to
[12:56] <serishema> perka: not that i know of, try booting from a ubuntu CD then hitting F6. delete the existing kernel parmeters and use "root=/dev/ram0 base-installer/kernel/linux/extra-packages-2.6= pkgsel/install-pattern=~t^ubuntu-standard$ pkgsel/language-pack-patterns=
[12:56] <serishema> pkgsel/install-language-support=false DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low vga=normal ramdisk_size=14409 rw " as kernel parameters and see what happens
[12:57] <serishema> perka: this is good for 6.06LTS, i don't know about other versions. However i used a network install to do this
[12:57] <serishema> perka: so i was booting from PXE
[12:57] <_james> how to capture screen shot ?
[12:57] <Pie-rate> Is there any reason to use a 386 kernel over a generic one?
[12:57] <lupine_85> yeah. if you're running a 386
[12:57] <lupine_85> or maybe a 486
[12:57] <JdGordon> how do i allow guest login in samba?
[12:58] <thoreauputic> Pie-rate: on gnome? hit PrintScrn
[12:58] <lupine_85> kde also
[12:58] <thoreauputic> Pie-rate: there are other ways - gimp, commandline...
[12:58] <serishema> pie-rate: in some siuations kernel modules may not load on the i686 optimized kernel
[12:58] <_james> yes on gnome
[12:58] <thoreauputic> bah sorry I meant _james
[12:58] <serishema> pie-rate: eg i an earily release of edgey my atheros wifi card didn't work with an i686 kernel, eaither the ubuntu packaged one, nor hand built
[12:59] <perka> serishema, thanks
[12:59] <prestocaso> you still around crimsun
[12:59] <_james> how to capture screenshots?
[12:59] <thoreauputic> _james: gimp has a screenshot function too
[12:59] <galorin> I've got the Ralink RT61 wifi chip in my laptop, got it working but only at home.  Is there any way to get it to connect to AP's when I don't know the SSID?
[12:59] <pramz> in Gnome you have a screenshot app under Accessories
[12:59] <Pie-rate> galorin: network-manager i think
[01:00] <rudlavibizon> hi
[01:00] <_james> thoreauputic: where? how to use it?
[01:00] <linux_user400354> for the nvidia driver, which linux-restricted-modules package do i need? i have the generic kernel image in edgy.
[01:00] <thoreauputic> _james: in gimp? File - Capture I think from memory
[01:00] <rudlavibizon> i want to buy an IR usb adapter
[01:00] <Pie-rate> linux_user400354: i'll pm you instructions on installing the latest nvidia drivers
[01:01] <linux_user400354> Pie-rate: okay
[01:01] <rudlavibizon> i got offered ST lab u-280 and other is no name, will this work with ubuntu?
[01:01] <thoreauputic> _james: ah "acquire"
[01:01] <_james> ok
[01:02] <_james> thoreauputic: ok thnx got it :)
[01:02] <thoreauputic> _james: :)
[01:02] <cherva> can I apt-get glib ?
[01:02] <galorin> Pie-rate, according to the howto, network-manager causes lockups on boot... I'm also on xubuntu, and the folks in there haven't been much use yet.
[01:02] <serishema> perka: did it work? This should allow you to do things like choose the installation source
[01:03] <Pie-rate> galorin: hasn't for me.
[01:03] <thoreauputic> cherva: umm - for what? Usually something else pulls it in
[01:03] <prudhvi> hi
[01:03] <cherva> I'm installing xvidcap and there is an error You must have `glib' installed.
[01:03] <cherva> You can get it from: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
[01:03] <thoreauputic> cherva: unless you are compiling something - then look for libglib*-dev
[01:04] <perka> serishema, have not tried it yet, i'll let you know
[01:05] <galorin> Pie-rate, I'll try installking network-manager after apt is freed up.
[01:06] <cherva> i've apt-geted  libglib*-dev but the error is still there
[01:06] <nadjyla> nm rox the world
[01:06] <thoreauputic> cherva: there are quite s few - hence the wildcard *
[01:07] <thoreauputic> cherva: try apt-cache search libglib | grep dev to see
[01:08] <thoreauputic> cherva: you probably want either libglib2.0-dev or libglib1.2-dev depending which gtk the app uses
[01:08] <cherva> ok apt-get-ing libglib2.0-dev
[01:09] <cherva> perfect thanks

[01:36] <roxlu> now i found "jo.py" which fixes that. but how can I make sure the command: "/usr/local/bin/jo.py [filename] " is called when I click a file in "Nautilus" ?
[01:37] <hgist> i'm trying to set vsFTPd in my ubuntu 6.06 ; have problem log in ; I follow http://www.debiansec.com/linux/services/ftp.html ; but although using db_load or db4.3_load  no good results

[01:43] <maddash> JdGordon: try that cmd anyway.
[01:44] <jrib> roxlu: it seems to work fine here.  I create 'printargs.sh' which just prints what is passed to it and I get the path to the file printed when I double click on a file
[01:44] <linux_user400354> whats the difference when using xgl or aiglx?
[01:44] <JdGordon> maddash: it shuts down.. the problem is it doesnt turn ff when it finishes....

[02:05] <daning> en
[02:05] <Raperu2000> Hello
[02:06] <Trackilizer> i just made some changes to the xorg file because of twinview and after rebooting the xserver won't start
[02:07] <dj_tchiseen> k, jrib, im following instructions, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:07] <Trackilizer> Just wanted to ask what the command for the xorg reconf was
[02:07] <dj_tchiseen> In the Software Preferences dialog that comes up, click the Add button.
[02:07] <dj_tchiseen> that's not there
[02:07] <jrib> CheshireViking: just ask your question/ state your problem.  Mention that you used envy, it's up to the person that is helping you of course, just like with automatix
[02:07] <jrib> !xconfig | Trackilizer
[02:07] <ubotu> Trackilizer: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". To configure only the driver and resolution, type: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh".
[02:08] <jrib> dj_tchiseen: what version of ubuntu?
[02:08] <lalalala> Hi, I updated to dapper some minutes ago. Since I've updated my xserver is not running any more :-/ Here is my xorg.log http://rafb.net/p/pQ8an219.html maybe someone can help
[02:08] <_raphael_> it seems ubuntu/grip doesn`t like japanese cd`s. the letters are all gibberish, and they won`t play
[02:08] <dj_tchiseen> 6.10
[02:09] <daning> /q
[02:09] <CheshireViking> jrib i wasn't thinking about myself, i had problems with nvidia & someone  suggested using envy to solve them and it worked great, i was just thinking about other people when they ask about nvidia and whether it'd be ok to suggest using it to them
[02:09] <jrib> lalalala: did you have ubuntu-desktop installed during the upgrade
[02:09] <dj_tchiseen> jrib: sorry, 6.10.
[02:09] <Trackilizer> ubotu, thanks alot for that, it was the command i was looking for
[02:10] <CheshireViking> jrib: i wouldn't want to suggest it if there wouldn't be any support from other people in here
[02:10] <jrib> CheshireViking: I haven't used it personally so I can't comment either way, but the bot's comment doesn't seem to warn against it
[02:10] <jrib> dj_tchiseen: what "task" is this?  Adding multiverse?
[02:10] <CheshireViking> jrib : ok, thanks, i'll bear it in mind anyway
[02:10] <lalalala> jrib dont know
[02:11] <dj_tchiseen> i'd just like to get both of my monitors working
[02:11] <jrib> lalalala: how did you upgrade?
[02:11] <dj_tchiseen> and increase the resolution @_@
[02:12] <jrib> dj_tchiseen: go to the "third party" tab.  THere should be an "add" button there
[02:12] <lalalala> jrib I edited my sources.list and did a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[02:12] <xopher> how do I disable my onboard sound card completely? Its disabled in the bios but still appears in my mixers
[02:12] <jrib> lalalala: upgrade or dist-upgrade?
[02:12] <xopher> do I blacklist a module?
[02:12] <jrib> !blacklist | xopher
[02:12] <ubotu> xopher: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[02:12] <dj_tchiseen> jrib: alright, there is, and what's the apt that it wants
[02:12] <xopher> I guess that's a yes?
[02:13] <jrib> xopher: oh, I thought you just want to know how.  I don't know
[02:14] <Jordan_U> If I boot using upsplash I can't use my tty's even though X and everything else works
[02:15] <lalalala> jrib upgrade
[02:15] <etcytal> hi
[02:15] <lalalala> I did a dist-upgrade before, but changed my grub back to my old kernel because of some dependencies
[02:16] <jrib> lalalala: you have a broken upgrade then.  It is recommended that you use update-manager to upgrade, but since you've already started upgrading this way, I guess you should 1) make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed and 2) dist-upgrade 3) fix errors 4) go to (2)
[02:17] <lalalala> ubuntu-desktop is installed
[02:17] <jrib> k
[02:17] <lalalala> dist-upgrade is about 380MB :o
[02:17] <lalalala> ok i do it :-/
[02:18] <jrib> lalalala: and you have to dist-upgrade twice to get upstart, there's a comment on the upgrade page I think
[02:18] <jrib> !upgrade | lalalala
[02:18] <ubotu> lalalala: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:18] <etcytal> sorry, but i have a problem (im bad compiler). I need compile hostap-driver, but wen i type "make", this says "scripts/Makefile.build:17: /usr/src/hostap-driver-0.4.5/driver/modules/Makefile: File or directory don exist"  any idea :(
[02:18] <dj_tchiseen> jrib -
[02:19] <nadjyla> etcytal, read the readmefile first
[02:20] <nadjyla> maybe it s not make for this soft
[02:20] <etcytal> nadjyla: yeh, i read this, but i dont have pcmcia-cs; ubuntu edgy have pcmciautils
[02:22] <etcytal> i need downgroade to pcmcia-cs?

[02:30] <roxlu> and RED5 (flash media server, open source). It took me some time, but it worked quit oke

[02:33] <sutiner> best antivirus for ubuntu?
[02:33] <MaxNegro> hi
[02:33] <kaxa> xmms
[02:33] <Knick> Someone told me xawtv was nice for it, but now I read something else :\
[02:33] <MaxNegro> anyone tried herd2 install on a "small" hd?
[02:34] <kaxa> hiiiiiiiii
[02:34] <sutiner> i needt antivirus for ubuntu
[02:34] <sutiner> !antivirus
[02:34] <ubotu> antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus
[02:34] <sutiner> !linuxvirus
[02:34] <ubotu> The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[02:35] <sutiner> is there antivirus for Linux and Firewalls?
[02:35] <Arafangion> What is the best way to install ubuntu to /dev/hdb remotly?
[02:35] <raperu2000> Hello
[02:35] <sutiner> !firewall
[02:35] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:35] <nadjyla> bye
[02:36] <sutiner> !firestarter

[02:37] <serishema> also consider kmyfirewal or webminl, if you are familar with iptables but want a pretty interface
[02:39] <mahiyar> hi
[02:39] <linker2u> who freenode/staff/*
[02:39] <linker2u> i thought no staff is available
[02:40] <linker2u> who freenode/staff/*
[02:42] <linker2u> if there is any staff than plz give me un  affiliated cloak
[02:43] <linker2u>  plz give me a un affiliated cloak
[02:44] <jrib> !cloak | linker2u
[02:44] <ubotu> linker2u: Tor & other common anonymizing proxies get abused to attack & spam Ubuntu channels, so they're blocked. Get a cloak from Freenode instead, and stop wasting your time with Tor: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[02:45] <linker2u>  /msg jirib help me
[02:45] <jrib> linker2u: read the link ubotu gave you
[02:46] <humboldt> would somebody do me an unusual favor?
[02:46] <humboldt> I deleted by edgy boot partition accidently and can't boot from cdrom anymore due to hw problems
[02:46] <linker2u> jirib by what command i get my cloak
[02:46] <humboldt> can somebody tar.gz me an edgy i386 boot and put it somewhere for me to download?
[02:47] <humboldt> would probably not be more than 20 mb
[02:47] <jrib> linker2u: read the link.  It tells you what command you need to get help from network staff (hint:  /stats p)
[02:48] <humboldt> anybody running edgy?
[02:48] <sutiner> why it dont start when i am typing it in TerminaL as su????
[02:48] <jrib> !root | sutiner
[02:48] <ubotu> sutiner: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:48] <linker2u> jrib i submitted that command several times but nobdy in the room
[02:48] <sutiner> tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt
[02:48] <sutiner> i type this
[02:48] <jrib> linker2u: it tells you an active staff member
[02:48] <sutiner> and it says no such file
[02:49] <sutiner> but its there
[02:49] <jrib> sutiner: is there such a file in the current directory?
[02:49] <linker2u> jirib i also tried that one /who freenode/staff/*
[02:49] <sutiner> where must be my file?
[02:49] <jrib> linker2u: did you then talk to the people it told you about?
[02:49] <mm2000> what is the name of the small "widgets" you can have on the desktop? (like system-info, mail and that kind of stuff)
[02:49] <pramz> mm gdesklets ?
[02:49] <sutiner> tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt
[02:49] <jrib> sutiner: in that command, it must be in the current directory
[02:49] <linker2u> okie jirib
[02:49] <sutiner> why it dont start?
[02:49] <kane77> hi
[02:49] <linker2u> thanx jirib
[02:49] <sutiner> but in what dir?
[02:50] <jrib> sutiner: the current one you are in
[02:50] <jrib> sutiner: go to the directory that the file is in
[02:50] <sutiner> but... i dont understand it is in that dir in home/sutiner
[02:50] <sutiner> when i log as     su
[02:50] <mahiyar> hi, i can get my sensor data from xsensors, however gdesklets dont show them?
[02:50] <jrib> sutiner: pastebin your terminal session
[02:50] <jrib> !pastebin | sutiner
[02:50] <ubotu> sutiner: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:50] <jrib> sutiner: make sure you include an 'ls -l'
[02:51] <sutiner> what is it?
[02:51] <sutiner> ls -l?
[02:51] <jrib> sutiner: ls -l lists the files in the directory
[02:51] <sutiner> how i can include it?
[02:51] <kane77> I'm kind of confused with audio... I have only one audio card... integrated one... but in the mix I see actualy two devices (that both control the same hardware together)... RealtekALC883 (OSS Mixer) and HDA Nvidia (ALSA mixer) why is that??
[02:51] <linker2u> any body tell me after getting a staff member how one can get unaffiliated cloak
[02:51] <jrib> sutiner: just run the command, and then when you are copying and pasting your terminal session include it
[02:52] <sutiner> can you give code
[02:52] <jrib> linker2u: the staff member sets it up for you
[02:52] <sutiner> ???
[02:52] <sutiner> tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt
[02:52] <jrib> sutiner: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[02:52] <mahiyar> hi, i can get my sensor data from xsensors, however gdesklets dont show them?
[02:52] <linker2u> jirib automaticaly or i have to write a command
[02:53] <jrib> linker2u: he talks to you, he is a human being
[02:53] <linker2u> okie jirib
[02:53] <vinicus> hi

[02:56] <apokryphos> !br
[02:56] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[02:56] <linker2u> apokryphos plz give me unaffiliated cloak
[02:56] <apokryphos> linker2u: oh, you mean a freenode staffer. See here:
[02:57] <apokryphos> ubotu: freenode
[02:57] <ubotu> freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[02:57] <YoussefAssad> I cant find the package with the embeddable vim kpart for KDE in edgy; any clues?
[02:57] <Schalken> wow ubotu has factoids for foreign tongues. thats really clever.
[02:57] <IdleOne> linker2u: typs /stats p and then msg the ircop who is avalaible and ask them to give you a cloak
[02:57] <kane77> !alsa
[02:57] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[02:57] <teclo-> what's again the package to install in order to change the ubuntu kde login screen ? pt-get install ksomething... ?
[02:57] <Schalken> YoussefAssad: is it kvim?
[02:57] <YoussefAssad> Schalken: might be, but I don't see that in my sources
[02:57] <ALL4N> hey, I wanted to set new password for my user in samba but could not find option to do so, so I removed the user and re-added using smbpasswd.. now I always get no access when trying to connect from windows.. any suggestions?
[02:57] <kane77> !oss
[02:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oss - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:57] <apokryphos> teclo-: login screen? DO you mean the login manager?
[02:58] <teclo-> apokryphos: yes
[02:58] <apokryphos> teclo-: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[02:58] <Schalken> YoussefAssad: do a name + desc search for vim, if its there it should show up
[02:58] <apokryphos> teclo-: that allows you to switch between gdm or the kdm login manager
[02:58] <linker2u> idleone i type that command several times but i don't find any staff member yaet
[02:58] <YoussefAssad> apokryphos: I already did that. Nothing
[02:58] <teclo-> apokryphos: the KDE login manager :
[02:58] <YoussefAssad> sorry, I meant that for Schalken
[02:58] <apokryphos> YoussefAssad: what?
[02:58] <apokryphos> ok =)
[02:58] <YoussefAssad> Schalken: I already did that. Nothing
[02:59] <apokryphos> teclo-: ?
[02:59] <IdleOne> linker2u: /msg denny
[02:59] <Schalken> YoussefAssad: lol, okay
[02:59] <apokryphos> teclo-: kdm is the kde login manager; gdm is the gnome/gtk login manager.
[02:59] <raperu2000> My xchat-gnome crashed while I was setting background opacity, is there a way to fix it? It won't anymore :-(
[02:59] <YoussefAssad> Schalken: are you on edgy, and if so do you have it?
[02:59] <sutiner> how i can log as su and manage files and dirs in graphical mod????
[02:59] <apokryphos> sutiner: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[02:59] <sutiner> just say command?!
[02:59] <lupine_85> sutiner: gksudo nautilus ?
[03:00] <sutiner> ubuntu-desktop
[03:00] <apokryphos> sutiner: it's all in the FAQ; please take some time to look through it.
[03:00] <sutiner> i just forget that command
[03:00] <sutiner> didnt used ubuntu very long time
[03:01] <Schalken> YoussefAssad: ...i cant see it
[03:01] <teclo-> found it
[03:01] <teclo-> the package is kcontrol-kdmtheme
[03:01] <sutiner> ahhhh :D
[03:01] <sutiner> nautilus
[03:01] <apokryphos> erm, so you meant how do you change the look of the kdm theme?
[03:01] <sutiner> that was that command :D
[03:01] <apokryphos> teclo-: Quite a different question ;-)

[03:06] <IdleOne> is there a reason why Ubuntu Edgy would run fine for a few days then sudenly go to a black screen. even on reboot the screen would stay black ( ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt get me to a command prompt) so I inserted ubuntu LiveCd with the intention of reinstalling but that sdeemed to freeze during step 5 of install so I rebooted without the cd and everything was back to normal working order afaik

[03:09] <kblin> hi
[03:09] <Delux_247> I have a FAQ, I installed flash/shockwave 7 + firefox but I still can't watch google video or youtube, is there a howto?
[03:10] <IdleOne> linker2u: I did /stats p and it returned staffer in my status window
[03:10] <Schalken> Delux_247: try www.novell.com (theres a flash thing on the front page) to confirm that flash7 works
[03:10] <Fuzzy76> setxkbmap just doesn't work. It looks like it want some files in /usr/lib/X11/xkb - any ideas?
[03:10] <[[set] > weird
[03:10] <[[set] > oh well i dont' use windows that much
[03:10] <[[set] > just for certain programs
[03:10] <Delux_247> Schalken: ok
[03:11] <jhaig> [[set] : It shouldn't be overwriting grub every time, but I wouldn't put it past Windows to do such a thing.  :-/
[03:11] <linker2u> idleone that command don't reurned anyone in my status window why??
[03:11] <Delux_247> Schalken: do videos on yuotube work for you?
[03:11] <kblin> I've got a problem with an installer script that wants to 'su root -c "make install"', which doesn't work as there's no root password on ubuntu. Is there any way to figure out if the root password is disabled?
[03:11] <Delux_247> b/c I heard that they only work on flash v9
[03:11] <IdleOne> linker2u: I dont know
[03:11] <Schalken> Delux_247: i cant remember which version of flash i have installed
[03:11] <j0sh0> Pici:is the modprobe.d all that needs editing?
[03:11] <Delux_247> apt-get only get v7
[03:11] <kblin> upstream won't accept a patch that detects the distribution, only a patch that detects if the root password is disabled.
[03:11] <Schalken> Delux_247: but yes they do, i might have flash9
[03:11] <linker2u> anyways thanx idleone i get my work done
[03:12] <Dustin_2> Hello
[03:12] <Delux_247> Schalken: any kind of howto for v9 would be appreaciated, I don't know where to begin
[03:12] <[[set] > what's the windows boot loader
[03:12] <Schalken> Delux_247: it is easy i will tell you once i remember ;)
[03:12] <[[set] > i might as well just use the windows boot loader to setup ubuntu
[03:12] <[[set] > i mean to load ubuntu
[03:12] <Delux_247> ok ty
[03:13] <[[set] > i just recovered it, and still not working :/
[03:13] <jhaig> [[set] : I don't think that the Windows boot loader can be set to boot anything other than Windows.
[03:13] <Dustin_2> I just installed Windows XP on a seperate partition from Ubuntu, is there any way I can easily get lilo reinstalled with the install cd to dual boot with XP without reinstalling the OS?
[03:13] <Dustin_2> [[set] , ntldr.
[03:13] <stefg> jhaig: in fact it can, but it's a pita and you won't trade that for grub
[03:14] <Dustin_2> jhaig, wrong. It's been done.
[03:14] <jhaig> OK, I stand corrected.
[03:14] <LordUltimaDavid> how can i increase the size of my linux partition?, i am already in it and i cant unmount it and use it at the same time
[03:14] <Dustin_2> Now someone please answer my question! :)
[03:14] <IdleOne> Dustin_2: ubutnu uses grub not lilo
[03:14] <stefg> !grub | Dustin_2
[03:14] <ubotu> Dustin_2: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:14] <Dustin_2> Oh, crap, sorry about that.
[03:15] <Schalken> Delux_247: download installer for linux from here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html , extract the tar and read the readme

[03:15] <wkerzend> I have ati meregedfb setup, on a laptop (x700). when I start up with second monitor the lcd stays blank, please help
[03:15] <Dustin_2> Thank you IdleOne.
[03:15] <lupine_85> you can do online resizing of ext2,3 partitions then
[03:16] <Gast677> whenever i try to install kubuntu 6.10 on my system, my sata-hd won't be recognized. I've got a asus k8n4 motherboard with nforce chipsat and a sata-harddisk
[03:16] <Gast677> i thought sata_nv would work bit i was wrong
[03:16] <axa-axa> Hi. Is it possible to lower the titlebar height of some theme ? I find many window decorations to have much too "fat" titlebar".
[03:16] <Gast677> could someone please helb me ?
[03:16] <stefg> Dustin_2: when you are shifting around paritions a lot consider to have a very small partition reserved for grub only on the begiining of your first hd... saves trouble in redirecting grub to it's menu.lst
[03:16] <linker2u> wht that ntldr problem i m also facing it dustin_2
[03:16] <linker2u> how to resolve it
[03:17] <LordUltimaDavid> lupine_85: can you explain?
[03:17] <IdleOne> !dualboot | linker2u

[03:17] <Dustin_2> Don't use ntldr. ;)
[03:17] <Schalken> Dustin_2: can ntldr boot into a linux system?
[03:17] <lupine_85> LordUltimaDavid: step one, make the partition bigger. Step two, resize the filesystem (assuming it's ext2 or ext3) with resize2fs
[03:17] <Gast677> somebody can help me please ?
[03:17] <Dustin_2> Schalken, yes, I've done it myself but that was years ago. You'll have to google it.

[03:18] <ubotu> Gast677: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:18] <LordUltimaDavid> lupine_85: i was using gparted but i dont think i can change the partion size while the filesystem is mounted
[03:19] <lupine_85> LordUltimaDavid: resizing the partition might be difficult
[03:19] <axa-axa> Is it possible to lower the titlebar height of some theme ? I find many window decorations to have much too "fat" titlebar".
[03:19] <lupine_85> unless you have LVM or something equally useful
[03:19] <lupine_85> there's a qparted livecd on the Internets somewhere
[03:19] <Gast677> some1 there ?
[03:19] <lupine_85> no :p
[03:20] <bulmer> anyone familiar with LPD printing and windows and mainframe TSO printing? printer is attached to a windows 98 machine..how does this 3 interact to make it work?
[03:20] <LordUltimaDavid> lupine_85: i look for the live cd
[03:20] <LordUltimaDavid> lupine_85: thanks
[03:20] <Schalken> i recommend the gparted livecd. easy to use, powerful and its saved me many times.
[03:20] <HearWa> linker2u, for your boot loader problem check out this neat tool I just found: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[03:21] <linker2u> i m trying hearWa
[03:21] <HearWa> So you're trying that tool?
[03:21] <HearWa> Let me know how it makes out because I'm too lazy to reboot. lol
[03:22] <Schalken> bulmer: if you want to print to a printer connected to a windows computer, it will need to share the printer, you will need drivers for ubuntu and then you can add the printer in ubuntu.
[03:22] <incorrect> are there any other alternatives to distcc?

[03:28] <tfny1> Xbehave, irc.mozilla.org
[03:28] <Xbehave>  /join #firefox
[03:28] <Azul> yep

[03:29] <IdleOne> no problem
[03:29] <taal1> hello
[03:29] <tfny1> hi
[03:29] <taal1> could anybody tell me what is better for dualcore - draper or edgy ?
[03:31] <taal1> noone knows ?:)
[03:31] <wkerzend> using x700 mobility and radeon drivers: it tells me failed to detect second monitor and notebook lcd stays blank please help
[03:32] <erUSUL> taal1: both support dual-core just fine, edgy has a more recent kernel though
[03:32] <Azul> replace your radeon with an nvidia card
[03:32] <taal1> erUSUL: i know that
[03:33] <Office_> ? please whats the command to re-setup the network?
[03:33] <taal1> erUSUL: but should I recompile dreper kernel for dualcore or not ?
[03:34] <erUSUL> taal1: no, just use the smp kernel or whatever is called... (i can't remember)
[03:34] <taal1> erUSUL: and what about performance, isn't edgy better ?
[03:35] <mauran> Hi all, How can I change my openoffice default CTL font by using command line?
[03:35] <linux_user400354> i have no borders with beryl. what can i do?
[03:35] <Bluedog> hey
[03:35] <ttw> Office_: can't you just use the admin utility?  or do you need command line?
[03:35] <Bluedog> just bought a new monitor, how do I reconfigure x to use it at the new resolution etc?
[03:35] <mauran> no I need to write a script to do it
[03:35] <taal1> erUSUL: i know, smp  kernel, draper include it itself or i should download it ?
[03:36] <Office_> ttw its on my server I lost the nic card so I replace it
[03:36] <linux_user400354> Bluedog: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[03:36] <agent> linux_user400354: read wiki.beryl-project.org and forums.beryl-project.org (see faq section in forums) - if that does not solve it, ask again but be more specific (what video card you use and what driver)
[03:36] <Azul> Bluedog, try playing with the System > Preferences > Screen Resolution box
[03:37] <agent> linux_user400354: and try #beryl
[03:37] <Office_> ttw, I need to prob the card the set the ip so command line please
[03:37] <HearWa> Bluedog, as root edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:37] <erUSUL> taal1: newer versions of gnome are said to perform better, in the kernel the difference if any will be minimal, use apt to install the kernel
[03:37] <HearWa> Then restart X.
[03:37] <linux_user400354> agent: i see nothing in that faq about no borders
[03:37] <bulmer> Office_: try this first /etc/init.d/network restart
[03:39] <taal1> erUSUL: i heard about gnome performance, but i dont need it, my instalation will be server only, i need very good database performance, now i have breezy and my proc is 80-90% used
[03:39] <Gosha> !dns
[03:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dns - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:40] <ttw> Office_: do an 'ifconfig -a' and check that the card is detected
[03:40] <Office_> bulmer, nogo there is no et0, that was in onboard now I added a pci card
[03:40] <erUSUL> taal1: if tou are so concerned about such issues you may want to compile your own kernel and twek it
[03:40] <erUSUL> !kernel | taal1
[03:40] <ubotu> taal1: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:41] <bulmer> Office_: can you repeat please, what do you have installed?  i just erased the buffer so i can not scroll back
[03:41] <erUSUL> taal1: btw, it it is a server maybe stiking with dapper is a better option due to its LTS (long time support)
[03:41] <taal1> erUSUL: yes, but kernel compilation is quite complicated and mistake sensitive :)
[03:41] <erUSUL> taal1: if i can make it, i'm sure you can too ;)
[03:42] <Office_> ttw yes the new card is listed as eth1
[03:42] <incorrect> sorry, stupid question, but what is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu other than the default desktop?
[03:42] <axa-axa> Is there some clipboard manager for Gnome like there is for KDE which remebers selected/copied text even if app from which it is, is no longer open?
[03:42] <taal1> erUSUL: of course i can, but i'm not sure if my compilation will be better than comon is :)
[03:42] <Office_> bulmer, nogo there is no et0, that was in onboard now I added a pci card eth1
[03:42] <Pici> axa-axa : I think theres one called glipper
[03:43] <bulmer> Office_: try this command again... /etc/init.d/networking restart   this is the script used during boot..it should detect your nic cards
[03:43] <axa-axa> Pici: I'll check for it right away...
[03:43] <chable> is there a way to mount a ntfs partition on ubuntu ?
[03:44] <erUSUL> !ntfs | chable
[03:44] <ubotu> chable: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:44] <bulmer> chable: there should be, maybe with option -t ntfs,  confirm it with man mount
[03:44] <chable> cheers
[03:44] <chable> it would be read-only ?
[03:44] <bulmer> yeah
[03:44] <axa-axa> Pici: Found it :) Now installing. Thanks.
[03:44] <bulmer> not guaranteed yet to write on ntfs
[03:45] <Pici> axa-axa : np
[03:45] <taal1> erUSUL: tell me, do You think the better idea is upgrade 5.1 to 6.06 with standart dist-upgrade or make quite new instalation ?
[03:45] <tfny1> !ntfs | ubotu

[03:46] <bulmer> there are some tricks, again so far i know, no linux can guarantee the writing to ntfs yet..
[03:46] <stefg> higi_: first reset your sources.list to a sane condition, then 'sudo apt-get update' for a start
[03:46] <erUSUL> taal1: so i think is up to you...
[03:46] <wkerzend> i have an ati x700 mobility card on my laptop. I want to use that in dualhead. the trouble seems to be that the driver says failed to detect secondary monitor so the lcd stays blank and the crt gives me just one desktop
[03:46] <wkerzend>  please help
[03:46] <mpech> can't upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04
[03:46] <erUSUL> !upgrade

[04:00] <NetCruZa> jhaig WPE Pro is a professional (commercial) version of Winsock Packet Editor. It is used to analyze network traffic and extract sensitive information
[04:00] <Pici> nij_ : I dont know if anyone here is going to be able to help you, you could try looking/posting at http://forum.beryl-project.org/
[04:00] <stefg> ZeckOwner: all installations CD offer an inegrated self test. look ate the boot screen
[04:00] <kzm__> since a couple of weeks i get a broken linux-restricted-module error while updating

[04:01] <verve> boo
[04:01] <NetCruZa> jhaig It is not just like Ethereal or anything like that, it works for flash too, and can resend packages (you can even modify them first)
[04:01] <jhaig> NetCruZa: Well, there is tcpdump, wireshark.  I don't know if these do what you want, though.
[04:01] <jhaig> NetCruZa: Ah, wireshark = ethereal, so probably not.
[04:01] <NetCruZa> jhaig thanks, i'll try it
[04:01] <francois> no one here can help me :(
[04:01] <jhaig> NetCruZa: And tcpdump just dumps all network traffic to the screen.
[04:02] <ttw> francois: what's up?  do you need a hug ?
[04:02] <verve> hah
[04:02] <NetCruZa> jhaig damn... Then it won't be able to send the package again
[04:02] <j0sh0> hi all i just installed dapper and everything is going great except i cant access web pages (eg wiki.ubuntu.com) but i can ping them! i have added the line to modprobe.d/bad_list for ipv6, what else do i need to do??
[04:02] <stefg> francois: In order to get a helpful response and help other people to help you, read the tips at http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html
[04:02] <jhaig> NetCruZa: There may be other things, but I don't do a lot of packet sniffing.
[04:02] <NetCruZa> jhaig: Okay, i will just have to keep looking
[04:02] <ZeckOwner> stefg: if it is curropt to i have to put the iso on the cd again or can i just unzip the .iso and drag the files i need
[04:03] <S0me1> hi
[04:03] <ZeckOwner> sorry for my spelling, i just got up
[04:03] <ttw> francois: 'fraid stefg is right -- you'll need to narrow that one down for us a bit
[04:03] <S0me1> ZeckOwner: go head man :)
[04:03] <ZeckOwner> S0mel: huh?
[04:03] <francois> err , ok... this is my problem , i try to make internet work on my linux system with dhcp but ubuntu just doesnt manage to get an ip from the modem
[04:03] <ttw> what's the menu entry for selecting package sets under the 'system -> administration' menu ?
[04:04] <stefg> ZeckOwner: if it's a desktop CD you need to reburn it... make sure your downloaded .iso is alright
[04:04] <ZeckOwner> it's the alternate cd
[04:04] <ttw> can't remember the name of it and need to help someone add in multiverse
[04:04] <bulmer> francois:  you can try using command line....dhclient and see what the response is from your dns server
[04:04] <stefg> ZeckOwner: the see !install and condider a netinstall with one of the mini-images
[04:04] <verve> ttw: Software Sources
[04:04] <bulmer> err dhcp*

[04:05] <den_> hi my rpcbind port is open i dont know why, how can i find out and how can i close it    111/tcp open  rpcbind  2 (rpc #100000)

[04:06] <verve> heh
[04:06] <John64> Ubuntu Just Works (TM)
[04:06] <mobal> hi'
[04:06] <verve> heh
[04:07] <ZeckOwner> verve: you got lucky, what speed did you burn at?
[04:07] <mobal> i need help!
[04:07] <mobal> i havent got sound on my laptop
[04:07] <mobal> hda intel realtek alc 660
[04:07] <verve> um.. think i used to burn at 4x in BSD
[04:07] <mobal> i have alsa
[04:07] <ZeckOwner> verve: i used 10X
[04:07] <francois> i just get some line begining with DHCPDISCOVER and a last one with NO DHCPOFFER , sleeping bulmer
[04:08] <ZeckOwner> 4X is really slow but you'll have more of a chance that it works
[04:08] <bulmer> mobal: i dont know much about sounds...but try "alsaconf"  and see if things get detected
[04:08] <Pici> !sound | mobal
[04:08] <ubotu> mobal: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[04:08] <mobal> alsaconf works fine
[04:08] <bulmer> francois: whats between your pc and the modem you speak of?
[04:08] <mobal> i can configure the volume but no sound
[04:08] <Pici> mobal: check to make sure that the volume isnt muted, I think thats the default
[04:08] <verve> ok, does America's Army take long enough to install? christ
[04:08] <mobal> alsa is selected
[04:08] <francois> bulmer: a RJ45 cable er..
[04:08] <verve> heh
[04:08] <jacobian_> Why does the totem plug-in play even though the object is Quick-time and and totem is  not able to play it?
[04:08] <mobal> isnot muted :)
[04:09] <bulmer> francois: please elaborate so we can troubleshoot better, no hubs or switches, routers/firewalls in between?
[04:09] <francois> nothing , the modem is a router
[04:10] <daviey> j #eclipse
[04:10] <francois> its PC -rj45 - modem
[04:10] <freakynl> anyone know why tahoma isn't in the corefonts package? according to corefonts.sf.net this should be fixed 30 april last year :/
[04:10] <bulmer> francois: and you are sure the cable is good and the modem/router really doles out an ip address via its dhcp server?
[04:10] <francois> yeap beceause it work when i plug it to my other pc
[04:11] <mobal> so no sound not muted alsa checked (installed in use!) realtek alc 660 hda intel
[04:11] <erUSUL> !sound
[04:11] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[04:11] <bulmer> francois: are you sure the nic card on your pc is working? and you dont have any firewalls enabled on your pc?
[04:12] <francois> ubuntu has no firewall
[04:12] <Pici> francois: do you typically need to login to your modem? or does it work automagically?
[04:12] <mobal> ubuntu has firewall called iptables
[04:12] <francois> automatical
[04:12] <Music_Shuffle> !firewall
[04:12] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:12] <mobal> iptables = "The" firewall
[04:12] <stefg> !dsl | francois
[04:12] <ubotu> francois: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[04:12] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[04:12] <bulmer> francois: thats why i asked you to elaborate what you have, am guessing of your setup, my ubuntu has firewall activated
[04:12] <francois> its not a ppoe connecion
[04:13] <francois> the firwall cant be in cause since the only firewall would be the unbutu one
[04:13] <francois> im connecting via DHCP not ppoe...
[04:13] <bulmer> francois: we cant check those...do this  as root   iptables -vL  and it should show no rules
[04:14] <verve> ah, the joys of having a router.. when i ran Linux a few years ago, i had no routers, just internet -> modem -> me
[04:14] <verve> so i ran iptables on the same box
[04:14] <verve> which was kind of dumb, but hey
[04:14] <francois> nothing on iptables
[04:14] <verve> heh
[04:14] <bulmer> francois: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:14] <bulmer> or localhost
[04:15] <bulmer> francois: now ping your dhcp server.. all responding?
[04:15] <francois> ping working
[04:15] <[set] > is mplayer in the repository?
[04:15] <erUSUL> [set] : yes

[04:15] <verve> apt-get autoremove is my friend
[04:16] <bulmer> francois: am like pulling teeth from you..you dont want to cooperate it seems
[04:16] <francois> when i try my routeur i get Network is unracheable
[04:16] <francois> i want to coperate
[04:16] <bulmer> francois: when do you get that response? of unreachable?
[04:16] <francois> i do everyhing you said me to do
[04:16] <francois> when i try to ping the router
[04:16] <[set] > E: Couldn't find package mplayer
[04:16] <[set] > no package
[04:16] <stefg> !mplayer

[04:17] <bulmer> right, thats what i suspect, when you ping your dhcp server/router...its not getting there
[04:17] <verve> francois, try setting your modem's IP as your dhcp server
[04:17] <verve> <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:17] <bulmer> francois: sorry to tell you, you need to make sure your cable is good
[04:17] <[set] > i don't wanna compile it from source, i thought you said it was in teh repository
[04:17] <verve> or whatever it may be
[04:17] <verve> 0.1
[04:17] <verve> 1.2
[04:17] <verve> whatever
[04:17] <francois> my cable is okay , just tested it
[04:17] <stefg> (set) please read carefully
[04:17] <g333k_work> Hi, what do I have to install to get this file? /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so
[04:17] <[set] > nvm

[04:18] <g333k_work> ikonia, ?
[04:18] <Music_Shuffle> !vnc
[04:18] <stefg> !vncviewer
[04:18] <[set] > what's a good program to stream vids online?
[04:18] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[04:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vncviewer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:18] <ikonia> g333k_work vnc
[04:18] <ttw> francois: do you have a "lan" light on your router ?
[04:18] <bulmer> francois: okay, do a  route  and se what the result is..gateway is there?
[04:18] <francois> yea i have a lane
[04:18] <Music_Shuffle> :P
[04:18] <ttw> francois: when you plug the cable in does it light ?
[04:18] <stefg> Music_Shuffle: oh... /this/ time :-)
[04:19] <Music_Shuffle> XD
[04:19] <francois> bulmer: when i try route i dont get anything under the first line
[04:19] <francois> yea it ligt ttw
[04:19] <francois> light*
[04:19] <bulmer> francois:  under the Flags no UG ?
[04:19] <francois> what you mean bulmer
[04:19] <ttw> francois: what does 'ifconfig' say your address is ?
[04:20] <bulmer> francois:  when you type the "route" command
[04:20] <g333k_work> stefg, I dont have this pkg in my repositories
[04:20] <ttw> bulmer: think i'll just leave you to it, sorry, probably just confusing things here
[04:20] <stefg> g333k_work: sudo apt-get update, after you enable  *multiverse*
[04:20] <bulmer> francois: me and ttw are attacking the problem slightly different ways... :)

[04:21] <g333k_work> stefg, btw I have xvncviewer installed
[04:21] <francois> when i type route , i get  only one line , destination passerelle genmask ....
[04:21] <francois> ifconfig doesnt give me an ip
[04:21] <g333k_work> stefg, I already have added multiverse
[04:21] <bulmer> francois: means things are not setup right on your ubuntu
[04:21] <[set] > is there an mplayer installation for edgy? cuz that's what i have
[04:21] <stefg> g333k_work: sorry, confusion....  tsclient might be waht you want

[04:22] <[set] > not dapper
[04:22] <[set] > ikonia: plz show me
[04:22] <ikonia> [set]  do an apt-cache search for it
[04:22] <francois> errr DHCP is working on all system i get just by plugin the cable , what should i do ?
[04:22] <ikonia> or use synaptic to browse for it
[04:22] <bulmer> francois: try this .... /etc/init.d/networking restart     <-- this is same script run during boot up time
[04:22] <ttw> francois: you haven't configured your adapter ... i assume that you don't actually see an 'eth0' entry under ifconfig ??
[04:23] <ttw> bulmer: i don't think it's configured ... he'll need to edit interfaces or just use the GUI
[04:23] <bulmer> ttw: i agree
[04:24] <bulmer> ttw: but i would think that via the networking restart, the system does the checking and configures things ..but i maybe partially wrong
[04:24] <g333k_work> stefg, noup... I still dont have the file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so
[04:24] <francois> i see eth0 under ifconfig , when i try /etc/init.d/networking restart i get some line and the same DHCDISCOVER as when i type dhclient
[04:24] <stefg> g333k_work: oh... you need vncserver, not client...
[04:24] <ttw> bulmer: don't think so - you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces or just click on 'system -> administration -> networking' ... or something like that
[04:25] <noir_> I need support with wine
