[04:45] <ccccc> hey,guys.i have met a question about vbox .my host os and guest os cannot connect to the internet at the same time.see the details:forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=14954
[04:45] <fallore_> Zykotic: do i put it with the printer stuff?
[04:45] <izul> pareng nakal......
[04:45] <nickrud> izul, indonesian?
[04:46] <qcjn> i,m trying to watch a long video on the web, youku (chinese youtube i think) but it alway s stops. can i play with some buffer for that
[04:46] <Zykotic> fallore_, ya, just after, it really doesn't matter where you put it, it's just convention
[04:46] <izul> yes indonesian
[04:46] <Barridus> nickrud, ok found the files.  is there an easy way to recursively delete folders and contents?
[04:46] <bazhang> !id
[04:46] <fallore_> Zykotic: is there an easy way to back up this file so that if i break something i can revert?
[04:46] <ssastre> could be lib/libc.so.6
[04:46] <bazhang> izul, /join #ubuntu-id
[04:46] <Wildburn> qcjn: no, thats just youko that sucks because its transmission is so slow
[04:46] <Zykotic> fallore_, did you notice the separte user=share section?  that's kinda important.
[04:47] <Zykotic> fallore_, sudo cp smb.conf smb.conf.origional
[04:47] <nickrud> Barridus,   yes; you can just delete the folder with nautilus (file manager) or use    rm -r <topleveldir> . Be cautious with -r
[04:47] <Dr_Sneese> I'm trying to find a theme, to get rid of a mouse cursor that I don't like that won't go away, but the theme isn't listed in the themes filder, or the icons folder.
[04:47] <fallore_> Zykotic: the part below the writable section in the pastebin? i didn't understand what it was.
[04:47] <Dr_Sneese> How do I get rid of it?
[04:47] <Dr_Sneese> I can't just go to appearance>themes>delete either.
[04:47] <Dr_Sneese> it won't let me.
[04:47] <nickrud> izul, #ubuntu-id is indonesian language
[04:47] <Barridus> nickrud, nautilus sends things to trash.  hence what got me in this mess
[04:47] <shervin> hi all
[04:48] <Zykotic> fallore_, look for a line that says "security = user" and change it to "security = share"
[04:48] <Barridus> nickrud, essentially i have trash that can't be emptied
[04:48] <nickrud> Barridus, ah, did you use nautilus as sudo ?
[04:48] <shervin> how can i install nvidia
[04:48] <Barridus> nickrud, yes
[04:48] <shervin> my X does not start
[04:48] <rww> ssastre: I imagine it'd be in /lib/libc.so.6 (or, if that's a symlink, wherever it points to)...
[04:48] <qcjn> Wildburn: ok, that suks, if i have knew, wouldn't have start to look at it. Now i wanna know the end
[04:48] <shervin> with no errors
[04:48] <nickrud> Barridus, that'll teach you :)    sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* should empty your trash
[04:48] <shervin> any one can help me
[04:49] <ssastre> yes I think that too, I guess I'll try and see
[04:49] <Zykotic> fallore_, i'm creating something that every version of Windows I know (or samba) can connect too without having to map user account or anything -- there is NO security
[04:49] <shervin> 2.6.24-23-rt
[04:49] <ssastre> thanks for the tips
[04:49] <shervin> no one?
[04:49] <boyo> oooo
[04:49] <Wildburn> Shervin: what version?
[04:49] <Barridus> nickrud, thanks.  i'll be trying this once my backup completes :D
[04:49] <boyo> gbgjhbhgvgjhb
[04:49] <fallore_> Zykotic: i'm not sure if this is relevant, but it might help. there is already a folder accessible on the network (\\htpc\xbmc (xbmc is the user) that we can connect to. what we want is to have another file, \\htpc\media that is similarly shared. does this change anything?
[04:49] <nickrud> Barridus, next time use gksu nautilus, gksu is intended for graphical program privilege escalation
[04:49] <bazhang> boyo, english here
[04:50] <boyo> ghgyghubmdfjhghftggtftyf
[04:50] <shervin> Wildburn: what version of ubunut?
[04:50] <Wildburn> yeah
[04:50] <rww> boyo: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[04:50] <shervin> Wildburn: how can i check
[04:50] <Barridus> nickrud, yeah.  hindsight 50/50 and all that XD
[04:50] <shervin> Linux shervin-desktop 2.6.24-23-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Mon Jan 26 02:29:24 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:50] <Zykotic> fallore_, ya it kinda changes things... i sec
[04:50] <Barridus> err 20/20 LOL
[04:50] <boyo> boyo from java iscrocodile
[04:51] <shervin> Wildburn: how can i check?
[04:51] <nickrud> Barridus, hey, this is a trivial way to learn. I've seen some real doozies. And you can tell people about not using sudo nautilus from personal experience
[04:51] <zer0o> hi guys, is there an open source software as an alternative to skype? that of course works with skype contacts etc (like pidgin with msn messenger for example)
[04:51] <Wildburn> Shervin: think that is 8.04
[04:51] <jf13> hello      could someone tell me of a program that will let me add files to a ISO?
[04:51] <Zykotic> fallore_, that means you already have a working share on this samba box called xbmc?!  so just copy that section again in your smb.conf file and change the name and the path and your golden
[04:52] <fallore> i don't see that section :/
[04:52] <shervin> Wildburn: so how can i install nvidia drivers?
[04:52] <Wildburn> Shervin: what video card?
[04:52] <smpi> woyow
[04:52] <rww> zer0o: No. The skype communication protocol is convoluted and proprietary. There isn't an open-source version of it.
[04:52] <shervin> Wildburn: nvida
[04:53] <Barridus> nickrud, sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* did not empty root's trash.  i assume i should use sudo rm -r /home/root/ insteaad of "~"?
[04:53] <i> nfhf
[04:53] <Nytrix> join #Ubuntu-Games
[04:53] <nickrud> Barridus, sounds reasonable
[04:53] <jf13> shervin: he means model I think
[04:53] <Wildburn> Shervin:right, what I mean is, what model, like 7600gt? and so on, is it telling you to install the 99.43.xx drivers ?
[04:53] <^Einstein> I just reinstalled alsa-base and I want to try to avoid pulseaudio on Intrepid 64. What alsa configuration do I have to manually do, because the default setup (with dkpg-reconfigure) does not output any sound although it thinks it's playing?
[04:53] <zer0o> rww: i dont think so, even kopete does skype...
[04:53] <nickrud> Barridus, take a look in the trash there, see if that's where it is
[04:53] <boyo> omah sampean neng endi??????????????????????????????
[04:53] <shervin> gefore fx 5200
[04:53] <Wildburn> Shervin: after you install the drivers its a black screen? then you reboot in recovery and run xfix?
[04:53] <rww> !id | boyo
[04:53] <cayouth_crew> yes, i know....
[04:53] <nickrud> boyo, language?
[04:53] <telestrial> Hello
[04:53] <mezy> how can install ubuntu onto a usb drive? i dont see the option to do so
[04:54] <rww> !usb | mezy
[04:54] <cayouth_crew> hello....
[04:54] <nickrud> !usb
[04:54] <Wildburn> lol
[04:54] <shervin> Wildburn: i dont know which driver i have to install
[04:54] <rww> zer0o: Not according to kopete's webpage, it doesn't.
[04:54] <cayouth_crew> i love U full

[04:54] <b1n42y> !bot
[04:55] <Wildburn> shervin: you need the 99.43.05 drivers I believe in synaptic, you also need nvidia-settings, nvidia-glx, and nvidia-kernel-source
[04:55] <bazhang> pUntEL_ndUd, #ubuntu-id
[04:55] <mezy> rww: c-ron thanks
[04:55] <telestrial> I own a Sony Vaio VGN-FW139E and I'm very new to ubuntu...I am trying to get my FN keys to work so I can dim my screen...it should work with FN+F6 for brighter and FN+F5 for dimmer....but they don't function at all.
[04:55] <zer0o> rww: oh yeah? che this out http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kopete%20skype/ (not longer being developed for now but it will in kde 4.3)
[04:55] <telestrial> it's draining my laptop battery
[04:55] <Wildburn> shervin:the glx will be for 99.43.xx as well
[04:55] <default> exit
[04:55] <default> exit
[04:55] <Wildburn> shervin:good luck though, im having the same problem with my laptop trying to get nvidia drivers going
[04:55] <shervin> Wildburn: so i look for synpatic?
[04:56] <Wildburn> shervin: click applications->system->synaptic package manager
[04:56] <rww> zer0o: I don't see anything about that working in 4.3. Do you have a source?
[04:56] <rww> zer0o: anyway, if it does, I guess the answer to your question is "kopete" :/
[04:56] <shervin> Wildburn: my X does not come
[04:56] <zer0o> rww: corridor's voices
[04:56] <Barridus> nickrud, i can see the contents of /home/root in nautilus but not in root terminal
[04:57] <nickrud> Barridus, ls -a lists hidden files/directories in the terminal (ones with a preceeding period)
[04:57] <zer0o> rww: i dont like kopete, its too buggy thatz why i was asking for something else, i no wengophone, but dunno if it works with the skype contacts...
[04:57] <Tired_> Hi.  I'm considering a switch to Ubuntu from Windows XP, but I'm concerned about my iPhone.  Your Wiki says I can't sync to the native iPhone music player with Amarok...will iTunes run ok in the Wine version Ubuntu supports?
[04:57] <Zykotic> Barridus, there shouldn't be a /home/root directory, root's home directory is /root???
[04:57] <fallore> Zykotic: if you're busy i understand, but in case you just missed my last message i still need a tiny bit of help, but i feel like i'm really close to resolving this
[04:57] <Wildburn> shervin: open a terminal and type sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf    then paste whats in there to paste.ubuntu.com
[04:57] <c-ron> Tired_ winehq.com/appdb
[04:58] <nickrud> Zykotic, ah, a good catch.   Switching to a buggy, non-optimized third party media player on my iphone isn't really a good solution.
[04:59] <afasaf> can i install grub for such environments?
[04:59] <Zykotic> fallore, sorry man...  you have your working smb.conf backed up and your editing it now right?  and you don't see the section with the printers?
[04:59] <telestrial> Hi. I was wondering if anyone noticed my question earlier....
[04:59] <c-ron> afasaf probably WUBI
[04:59] <tripps> how do I get my version number of ubuntu?
[04:59] <c-ron> tripps uname -r
[04:59] <shervin> Wildburn: can we join #flood?
[04:59] <tritium> tripps: lsb_release -a
[04:59] <fallore> Zykotic: i see the printer section
[04:59] <Wildburn> sure
[04:59] <^paradox^> ok i have another quick question
[04:59] <c-ron> no u
[04:59] <afasaf> c-ron: WUBI is a bootloader?
[04:59] <tritium> c-ron: that's for the kernel version
[04:59] <Tired_> c-ron:  http://appdb.winehq.org/ now, apparently  :)
[05:00] <c-ron> afasaf wubi uses NTLOADER
[05:00] <tripps> k thanks - would be a good idea to put version number in "about ubuntu" dialog where it is in every other software on the planet ;)
[05:00] <telestrial> does anyone know how to get the FN brightness keys to work?
[05:00] <afasaf> c-ron: actually, i don't want to use NTLOADER.. that's why we are trying to isntall grub..
[05:00] <c-ron> afasaf so install grub :)
[05:01] <tripps> c-ron, that gives me kernel number - tritium gave me what I was looking for thanks
[05:01] <Nytrix> what is a good team speak client for ubuntu?
[05:01] <Barridus> nickrud, Zykotic- i see the files now.  "sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash/*" is the syntax to clear root's trash, not "/home/root/etcetera"?
[05:01] <^paradox^> every time i tried to cd into the folder NES roms it kept saying no such file or directory until finally added an underscore between NES and roms
[05:01] <afasaf> c-ron: and it'll work for such environment? (as in, i've never written a config file for that)
[05:01] <b1n42y> telestrial, you have to add modules to kernel, i need to do the same, dont know how
[05:01] <afasaf> c-ron: as in, i can't easily do (hd0, 0) or something, right?
[05:01] <^paradox^> how do i cd into other such folders that have no underscores?
[05:01] <telestrial> I just recently switched from vista and my battery life is like...HALF!
[05:01] <jtaji> ^paradox^:  cd like\ this or cd "like this"
[05:02] <nickrud> Barridus, yes, root has it's home directly under the / because many people have /home on a separate partition which may not be mounted when trying to do maintenance.
[05:02] <Barridus> i suppose the worst will be a path not found
[05:02] <c-ron> afasaf grub config lets you remap those
[05:02] <Nytrix> !battery
[05:02] <afasaf> ^paradox^: or it is usually easier to rename the folder
[05:02] <telestrial> I mean as it applies to my screen brightness
[05:02] <afasaf> c-ron: awesome, thanks!
[05:02] <afasaf> c-ron: i'll look it up..
[05:02] <ReLieC_93> h
[05:02] <mezy> c-ron: the link you have gave i have already tried, it left me with a usb version of the live cd
[05:02] <b1n42y> ^paradox^, cd NES and tab for it to auto complete
[05:02] <nickrud> Barridus, mea culpa about /home/root, I just read what I wanted when I saw that ;)
[05:02] <^paradox^> hmmm interesting
[05:03] <Barridus> nickrud, no it's cool you've been helpful
[05:04] <Barridus> what happens if you are root via "sudo su" and then sudo a command?
[05:04] <Zykotic> fallore, do you see your currently shared folder somewhere?  cause you need to find that!  then copy it but change some of the details
[05:04] <c-ron> mezy, thats what you want
[05:04] <Barridus> is it the end of all things?
[05:04] <mezy> c-ron: i want an updatable, bootable usb version of ubuntu. is that possible?
[05:04] <^paradox^> aha ! lol i have it now
[05:04] <doodle77> how do i disable write caching on an sd card? it is opened with gvfs, and hdparm -W 0 /dev/mmcblk0 doesn't work
[05:04] <b1n42y> !usb
[05:04] <c-ron> nice
[05:04] <Wildburn> mezy: you want the second link
[05:04] <jtaji> Barridus: you should use sudo -i instead of sudo su, but either way if you then sudo a command it's fine because root is listed in sudoers
[05:05] <mezy> ?
[05:05] <jtaji> Barridus: fine, but pointless ;)
[05:05] <Barridus> jtaji, :)
[05:05] <nickrud> Barridus, no. you can do   sudo env | sort , gksu env | sort , sudo su then run env | sort, sudo su -  and compare the environments you get
[05:05] <Wildburn> mezy: the second link in the sentence ubottu just posted, is about how to create a persistent install
[05:06] <^paradox^> the tab thing works if i use it before the space
[05:06] <Barridus> nickrud, ok i blew root's trash out with your commands.  just because i'm paranoid i'm gonna try rebooting in case i destroyed everything in my previous attempts :)
[05:06]  * Barridus crosses fingers
[05:06] <weternal> I'm having trouble getting s-video to work as an external display
[05:06] <Dr_Sneese> For some reason, there's one mouse cursor that only shows up while I'm using firefox, but I really don't like it, and I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm using ubuntu 8.10.
[05:07] <fallore> Zykotic: how do i copy a section of a file i'm looking at in nano?
[05:07] <mezy> Wildburn: and use which method? the last time i used this link, i chose the one that was easier for me to do. and a left me with a usb version of the live cd
[05:07] <^paradox^> lmao im obviously terrible with a command line
[05:07] <^paradox^> i was never any good at the dos prompt either
[05:07] <shervin> hi Wildburn
[05:07] <Zykotic> fallore, paper and pen if you have too, don't know the clipboard command in nano that's for sure; could do it in vi ;)
[05:08] <mezy> Wildburn: oh no, wait. actually, i messed it up
[05:08] <Wildburn> mezy: you want method 1 on that list
[05:08] <shervin> Wildburn, X starts but no nvidia no sound
[05:08] <fallore> Zykotic: how do i do it in vi? i'll try that instead
[05:08] <^Einstein> !sound
[05:08] <Zykotic> fallore, nope vi is WAY too hard to explain accross irc
[05:08] <Wildburn> shervin: yeah try this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/251107?comments=all read through comments it goes through lots of methods to attempt
[05:08] <fallore> it's okay, the cursor works :P
[05:09] <Wildburn> shervin: im in the same boat, cant get nvidia to run on my laptop, so best I can offer is trying some of the listed methods in the bug report
[05:09] <Dr_Sneese> D:
[05:09] <fallore> Zykotic: is this what is creating those shared directories? http://pastebin.com/m39da5fba
[05:10] <Barridus> nickrud, Zykotic - i think things are back to normal.  thanks a ton!
[05:10] <Zykotic> fallore, nope, not related at all
[05:10] <calvinyong> have anyone here encountered that the static network kept dropping using ubuntu server 8.04
[05:10] <calvinyong> ?
[05:10] <shervin> whatthanks
[05:10] <^paradox^> thanks for the help everyone. i think im gonna pick up one of those online training courses ive seen at the ubuntu site. i could use some hands on training
[05:10] <ReLieC_93_> trthr
[05:10] <fallore> Zykotic: that's the only thing that looks remotely related to actual shared directories. would it be helpful to just pastebin the whole file?
[05:11] <Zykotic> fallore, but you should already have a share working don't you???
[05:11] <fallore> Zykotic: yes
[05:11] <calvinyong> i have set the static ip address for ubuntu server 8.04 .. and it will work for a few minutes.. after a while it will automatically drop
[05:11] <cds> cikem
[05:11] <cds> 6ytj
[05:11] <Zykotic> fallore, so that share MUST be in your current config file???
[05:11] <weternal> I need some help figuring out how to get an external display working, I've checked the documentation, and most of it has to do with editing the x.org file
[05:11] <Barridus> in the future, is it permissable to post a link that contains advice if i suspect it's faulty and have someone smarter than i look over it
[05:11] <fallore> Zykotic: or at least, if i go into "my network places" on windows i can go into folders on the computer and see the contents.
[05:12] <nickrud> Barridus, absolutely yes
[05:12] <weternal> which apparently isn't as much in use in 8.10
[05:12] <cds> what your name
[05:12] <Barridus> nickrud, good to know, thanks again.
[05:12] <bazhang> cds this is ubuntu support, do you have a support question?
[05:12] <zer0o> skype is spying on us  http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=95261
[05:12] <mezy> Wildburn: cool, im getting excited from just reading the tutorial
[05:12] <cds> my home in  new york
[05:13] <Zykotic> fallore, i don't understand???  but i don't think you should follow ANY of the pastebin directions as it will mess with your current working setup...
[05:13] <bazhang> cds please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:13] <Wildburn> mezy: yeah thats definitly the best method to learn ubuntu without trashing a drive
[05:13] <cds> i zubaidah
[05:13] <WXYZ-2> !search cccc
[05:13] <sparr> I have been dist-upgrade'ing since breezy, cruft is starting to become a problem, and I know I am missing out on some of the newest features.  I think I am going to reinstall for jaunty
[05:14] <cds> your home
[05:14] <Zykotic> fallore, the section under [writable] could be adapted to whatever samba share you could need...  but you really should see the share that's currently working in your smb.conf file???
[05:14] <cds> cek
[05:14] <cds> fxdxjf
[05:14] <bazhang> !id | cds
[05:15] <fallore> Zykotic: i'm pretty sure the first bit of what i pastebin'd to shares the user's home directory, so the \\htpc\xbmc share that i am seeing if a result of it
[05:15] <bazhang> cds please stop
[05:15] <bazhang> cds /join #ubuntu-id
[05:15] <Zykotic> there should be a section entitled [xbmc] in your current smb.conf - but you don't see it?
[05:16] <Droopsta915> I have a file that I dont know how to install it says Nero Linux-<IP_ADDRESS>-x86, but it has two more tar.gz files in that? so what do I install and how?
[05:16] <pogz> hello every1. how do i make a new admin account on my ubuntu comp using only CLI?
[05:18] <n2diy> pogz, check out the man page for useradd
[05:18] <nanotube> pogz: useradd
[05:18] <pogz> ok ty
[05:18] <nanotube> !useradd
[05:18] <pogz> brb
[05:18] <pogz> adduser maybe?xD
[05:19] <fallore> Zykotic: how do i get out of the vi client without saving any changes?
[05:19] <Zykotic> :q! (didn't i suggest NOT going into that?)
[05:19] <buzzomatic> Hey
[05:20] <fallore> Zykotic: you just told me you couldn't explain it :P what does :q! mean
 try nano or pico text editors. they're user-friendly :P
[05:20] <fallore> pogz: i'm leaving vi to use nano, i just don't want to save whatever i just did :p
[05:20] <pogz> :q means quit
[05:20] <Zykotic> fallore, sorry you may need to press ESC once, then the : key, then q, then !, then press enter (LOL)
[05:20] <redvamp128> fallore:  that in vim means quit no changes
[05:21] <fallore> it just looked like an emoticon so i wasn't sure :/
[05:21] <olovram> hello n__n
[05:21] <redvamp128> fallore:  Vim Commands Cheat Sheet <http://www.fprintf.net/vimCheatSheet.html>
[05:22] <fallore> thanks, redvamp128
[05:22] <Wildburn> out of curiousity, video drivers installed via synaptic should modify xorg.conf right? do they modify at install or boot?
[05:22] <olovram> UBUNTU SUCKS!

[05:22] <redvamp128> fallore:  also this one has a better explanation The Vim commands cheat sheet <http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html>
[05:22] <olovram> IS
[05:22] <olovram> SPARTA!
[05:22] <Zykotic> redvamp128, great vi link ;)
[05:22] <rww> olovram: Thank you so much for showing us how mature Arch users are.
[05:23] <olovram> jiji
[05:23] <waseidel> 8.10 i install tvtime and it let me without sound my ubuntu
[05:23] <olovram> just made a bet
[05:23] <factotum> Acer Aspire 6530 laptop. Anyone know of success with wireless, and card reader? Looks like everything else will work. Just haven't seen any confirmations on the wifi and card reader.
[05:23] <olovram> how mucho to get myself banned from here
[05:23] <olovram> n__n
[05:23] <kane77> olovram, no one is interested.. take your stuff elsewhere
[05:23] <factotum> Also I tried the live cd and all that was found was the onboard modem
[05:23] <Wildburn> factotum, try using ndiswrapper with windows drivers for the wireless, probably need to use fwcutter as well
[05:23] <olovram> aww
[05:23] <Droopsta915> I have a file that I dont know how to install it says Nero Linux-<IP_ADDRESS>-x86, but it has two more tar.gz files in that? so what do I install and how?
[05:23] <olovram> thats cruel u.u
[05:23] <rww> olovram: Go ask the rest of #archlinux. Half of them could tell you.
[05:24] <olovram> anyway, I do like ubuntu, just prefer pacman and rolling releases ;)
[05:24] <bazhang> !ot | olovram
[05:24] <olovram> oo
[05:24] <olovram> sorry
[05:24] <olovram> bau
[05:24] <olovram> bai*
[05:24] <pogz> so. how can i add an admin account in my computer using only CLI?
[05:25] <mezy> its hard to fine help these days
[05:25] <CheesyBeef> please don't let him influence your view of arch users...
[05:25] <factotum> Wildburn: you know if that will work with atheros wireless? evidently that's what it has
[05:25] <sglasser> I used to work with other Arch users -- same
[05:26] <n2diy> pogz, useradd
[05:26] <Wildburn> factotem, ndiswrapper works with a ton of wireless cards, id say google ndiswrapper atheros and see what you find
[05:27] <factotum> i was looking around for madwifi notes but it was claimed as buggy at best
[05:27] <Wildburn> hmm looks like atheros should have a built in driver, try getting it off synaptic package manager
[05:27] <Barridus> factotum, i use madwifi on my acer (aspire one netbook)
[05:27] <buzzomatic> Installing Ubuntu 8.04 Server, it fails when installing grub, seems the configuration is broken, is there a way to get a detailed error report other than "This is a fatal error."?
[05:28] <Barridus> factotum, what ubuntu ver you running
[05:28] <Chaorain2> I am trying to install StackSwitch for compiz but it seems I need to use git but I can't figure out how to. Any help with or around git?
[05:28] <factotum> 8.10 64bit
[05:29] <dibblego> one of my machines is uploading an enormous amount of traffic -- how can I find out what type of traffic and where it is going?
[05:30] <||dude> hi how can i start a liveUSB from a floppy syslinux
[05:30] <||dude> (my cd drive is out and my bios won't boot my usd pen drive)
[05:30] <Barridus> factotum, well the aspire one is x86 32-bit, but you may still find this a relevant place to start with madwifi on acer atheros https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L.  there may also be a seperate article on other acer
[05:32] <Barridus> ||dude, google unetbootin
[05:36] <Wildburn> ok wth, anyone have any ideas why xorg.0.log would give no problems with a grep for NVIDIA but I still wind up with a black screen
[05:38] <IRAN_MIKE_TYSON> are there any issues with installing solr into intrepid?
[05:38] <IRAN_MIKE_TYSON> will the latest solr work?
[05:38] <Zykotic> Wildburn, when i "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep NVIDIA" i get lots, notic the capital X on Xorg
[05:39] <michalski-bj> hello, synaptic is marking "mbr" as auto-removable, is it really, or is my computer going to do something nasty if I remove it...?
[05:39] <Wildburn> Zykotic, lol yeah I did capitalize correctly, but all the stuff from grep comes back positive, loaded properly initialized properly
[05:39] <||dude> thx, i can create a setup with a usb drive distro and booting from a floppy from this app?
[05:39] <Wildburn> no errors whatsoever
[05:39] <Wildburn> but black screen on boot
[05:39] <stolworthy> hello
[05:39] <michalski-bj> !hi
[05:40] <stolworthy> thanks everyone!
[05:40] <fallore> is there anything wrong with creating a folder in my "home" folder?
[05:40] <b1n42y> my network manager for wireless has just stopped working, why ? and how do i restart it
[05:40] <stolworthy> is there any way to set up a chat between ypur local nwtwork
[05:40] <Barridus> wildburn is it a laptop?
[05:40] <Wildburn> yes Barridus
[05:40] <b1n42y> fallore, no
[05:40] <michalski-bj> fallore: ....no
[05:40] <Myst> Hello all, does anyone know the command line i would use to write a folder to a DVD? I am using a non GUI version of ubuntu
[05:40] <Wildburn> im wondering if its trying to activate the external crt connection
[05:40] <fallore> thanks
[05:41] <Barridus> Wildburn, it's defaulting to the vga port not the flatpanel
[05:41] <Wildburn> lol ,figured
[05:41] <Wildburn> know the command for xorg.conf to change that?
[05:41] <Barridus> i had that problem with my old inspiron 8200 with geforce 440
[05:41] <michalski-bj> ok so I can remove the package "mbr"
[05:42] <Wildburn> hm im surprised grep didnt show me a default device for the driver
[05:42] <Barridus> Wildburn, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528207 look at the part about "DFP-0".  it might be relevant to you.
[05:43] <mezy> how can i tell which device file is corresponding to a usb drive?
[05:43] <Barridus> it's for feisty but that fixed intrepid on my old laptop
[05:43] <mezy> great, i dont even know what im talking about
[05:43] <Wildburn> Barridus: thanks ill give it a whack
[05:43] <Wildburn> mezy:mostly guess by size tbh, if you mean in the partition manager
[05:43] <||dude> mezy : look in fstab
[05:43] <Wildburn> right or look in fstab
[05:44] <aaronvox> does anybody know how to install eclipse + cdt + pdt all together, so i may code in java, c++ and php?
[05:45] <tyler_d> need to change my dns to resolve my hostname to mail.server.com --- right now it resolves it using "nsloolup mail.server.com" to the correct ip with a #53 at the end
[05:45] <mezy> i wish i knew where the fstab is, and what it is. im still struggling with most of this stuff, and hit a road block on that tutorial
[05:46] <Wildburn> mezy: opent terminal type sudo fstab
[05:46] <methods> does ati fglrx drivers support s-video or the yellow cable ?
[05:47] <Wildburn> hmmm ive just realized my xorg.conf seems really short on items that should be in it
[05:47] <mezy> uhm. command not found?
[05:47] <djmortal> hola
[05:48] <Zykotic> mezy, the command was wrong there is not fstab command it's a file in /etc/fstab...
[05:48] <Cow_Bekenzzz> #makassar
[05:48] <mezy> found it
[05:49] <Barridus> Wildburn, yeah i ran into that too (but i was too newb to remedy that).  i did learn from the experience that xorg settings are best done in nano not by some gtk settings manager :/
[05:49] <b1n42y> where would i find info on why frontend to network manager stopped?
[05:49] <mezy> hmm. so much for that, now im stuck on the tutorial
[05:50] <Wildburn> ok, so is it just me or is this xorg.conf missing a bit http://paste.ubuntu.com/125137/
[05:50] <redvamp128> b1n42y:  are you sure you didn't just accidentally remove the notification area from your taskpanel?
[05:50] <b1n42y> mezy, fstab is a file in /etc which controls how your partitions are mounted and used
[05:51] <Myst> !dvdburning
[05:51] <Myst> !burning
[05:51] <Barridus> Wildburn, looks short to me
[05:51] <redvamp128> b1n42y:  actually the reason I asked that is because -- about 3 people this last week complained of same only to find out they removed that.
[05:51] <Barridus> Wildburn, yeah i ran into that too (but i was too newb to remedy that).  i did learn from the experience that xorg settings are best done in nano not by some gtk settings manager :/
[05:51] <mezy> hmm
[05:51] <nanotube> mezy: run command "sudo fdisk -l" (that's a lower case L), that will list all the partitions.
[05:51] <b1n42y> redvamp128, i just ran sudo service NetworkManager start to restart it i want to know why it stopped, internet didnt break
[05:51] <mezy> thanks
[05:52] <Wildburn> Barridus:yeah, wonder where the rest of the content goes, also wonder if the video problems im having is the seperation of screen and device
[05:52] <redvamp128> b1n42y:  you possibly could try looking in the system logs (under system administration) then look at the daemon.log
[05:52] <nanotube> mezy: you could also try command "mount", which will list all mounted partitions (but will include some non-disk virtual partitions as well)
[05:52] <nanotube> mezy: and will not include anything that's not mounted (while fdisk will)
[05:53] <Barridus> Wildburn, did you back up xorg.conf before you changed anything?  adding dfp-0 as in the context of that link to the original .conf might fix you right up
[05:53] <b1n42y> redvamp128, mmmm, i thought there might be something more specific, thanks
[05:53] <Wildburn> Barridus: the backup only has driver "nvidia" under the device. the rest of that conf is from running the dpkg command, so its vanilla
[05:53] <b1n42y> mezy, dont mess with fstab if you dont know what your are doing or back it up and make sure you know how to restore it in case you break your mounts
[05:54] <redvamp128> b1n42y:  I would start there-- could be something as simple as your Ip lease ran out if you have a dynamic Ip (like cable internet or DSL)
[05:54] <Wildburn> Barridus
[05:54] <mezy> nanotube: thanks. so as for a usb, fdisk is telling me that /dev/sdb is the corresponding file for my usb drive, right?
[05:54] <b1n42y> redvamp128, nah i was still connected to xchat whilst networkmanager was down
[05:54] <Wildburn> Barridus: going to put the driver nvidia in and try the dfp-1 thing
[05:54] <Barridus> wildburn ok good luck
[05:55] <Wildburn> well ill still be here lol irc on the desktop[ while I diddle with the laptop
[05:55] <redvamp128> b1n42y:  though the system logs would be the place to look if it just stopped
[05:55] <b1n42y> redvamp128, but possibly you might still be right as i have no security to my router and just accepts my mac address on my laptop
[05:55] <nanotube> mezy: well, i don't know what it is telling you, because i don't see the output... :) but that sounds reasonable
[05:55] <mezy> lol
[05:55] <b1n42y> redvamp128, will look there ta
[05:56] <mezy> nanotube: it looks good on my side. i think, lol
[05:56] <nanotube> mezy: ok good. :)
[05:57] <Datz> Hi, I want to add an icon to a text file that I made executable, I've done it before, but don't remember how.  Does anyone know?
[05:57] <Datz> I basically mean I made a shortcut for a program..
[05:57] <rsteckler> hiya.  I have a server with 3 IPs.  Right now I have my dns settings for my two domains pointing to .94 and .95 respectively.  How do I go about configuring apache to know which IP a request is coming in on and directing it accordingly to the correct home folder?
[05:58] <mezy> nanotube: just to let you know, im following a tutorial. right now, im at the part where im about to 'repartition my usb drive'
[05:58] <rsteckler> or is there a term for what I'm trying to do so I can have better luck on google?
[05:58] <Datz>  rsteckler: Have you tried #apache?
[05:58] <redvamp128> rsteckler:  or #ubuntu-server
[05:58] <rsteckler> thanks.  I'll hit those up.
[05:59] <Dr_Sneese> I fix my problem.
[05:59] <Dr_Sneese> i did I did!
[05:59] <Dr_Sneese> lol
[05:59] <Anon8454> Hi everyone!
[05:59] <Barridus> Wildburn, i know your pain.  believe it or not, blackscreen xorg was day 1 in linux for me.  :)  talk about rude awakening
[06:00] <nanotube> mezy: ah, i see. :) well, i would suggest you mount it first, and make sure that its contents are what you think they are, before you do any actual repartitioning. :)
[06:00] <Wildburn> lol Barridus, well I guess im lucky I run linux on the desktop where everything was easier, so going to laptop only thing that is killing me is this video setup
[06:00] <Wildburn> ah bugger still black screen
[06:00] <mezy> now im scared on continuing the tutorial
[06:00] <Anon8454> I have a problem... how can I organize files and folders on my system in an eficient way??
[06:01] <Anon8454> any good software?
[06:01] <Barridus> Wildburn, shoot.  just curious what laptop/gpu are you working on?
[06:01] <Zykotic> Anon8454, i hope your just talking about the file in your HOME holder and not the stuff like /etc, /usr, etc. etc. etc.
[06:02] <Wildburn> Barridus:compaq tc1000 with Geforce2 Go
[06:02] <Dezine> I currently have a computer setup with Ubuntu and only use it as a webserver. I have everything set up and now want to know the best way to get rid of everything I don't need. For example, I just want the webserver, ssh and sql, etc. I don't need ubuntu-desktop and everything. Could I safely apt-get remove everything I don't want?
[06:02] <hunt577> Hi everyone
[06:02] <linux> hi
[06:02] <mezy> im getting a scaring fatal error
[06:02] <b1n42y> whats is supplicant connection state change
[06:02] <hunt577> Wireless is not working on ubuntu through the live cd, any suggestions?
[06:03] <Wildburn> Mezy: your installing from livecd to usb right? not from a boot off the usb?
[06:03] <b1n42y> hunt577, is it recognising your hardware?
[06:03] <Barridus> Wildburn, well i guess there's two options now if DFP-0 failed.  one is that it's sending video to the VGA port but the syntax is different for your machine and not DFP-0, or you might just be missing critical things in your .conf
[06:03] <linux> yes  is working in live cd
[06:03] <Anon8454> I have a problem... how can I organize files and folders on my system in an eficient way ??
[06:03] <Wildburn> Barridus:yeah question is how to find out what the identifier is for my flat panel
[06:04] <redvamp128> b1n42y:  I did find you a bug report on it Bug #277634 in linux-meta (Ubuntu): “Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 AG stops transferring data within a few minutes” <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/277634>
[06:04] <mezy> no, im not Wildburn. im using the live cd right now and trying to follow the tutorial you suggested
[06:04] <hunt577> b1n42y, I don't think it is cause when I click on the 2 little computer monitor icons in the upper right corner it doesn't say anything about wireless connections
[06:04] <Anon8454> Im looking for a software/method that will be usefull whether it is for ubuntu or windows
[06:04] <b1n42y> Anon8454, thats probably not a question for here
[06:05] <b1n42y> redvamp128, nah dif bug my networkmanager simply died connection was up
[06:05] <b1n42y> hunt577, look for eth0 eth1
[06:05] <redvamp128> Anon8454:  big hint -- don't save files to desktop-- and for me I create a folder dated for each download date and clean the trash
[06:05] <Wildburn> Mezy: are you in linux?
[06:05] <hunt577> b1n42y where do I look for that at?
[06:05] <Barridus> Wildburn, heh.  it took me hours to figure out what mine was with searching (although you have an advantage i didn't months ago as i had never used linux).  i am surprised your .conf does not contain mouse/touchpad settings.  that's worrisome in and of itself i think, even though it's not the culprit here.
[06:06] <mezy> Wildburn: i guess, if you mean ubuntu
[06:06] <redvamp128> !ot | Anon8454
[06:06] <Datz> I made a shortcut from a text file to execute a program.  I want to add an ICON, how can I do this?
[06:06] <b1n42y> hunt577, left click on networkmanager
[06:06] <linux> the device wirelees  wlan0 or wlan1
[06:06] <Wildburn> Barridus: actually I know why it doesnt contain that, because the tc1000 is a tablet with a usb key and mouse, so its all handled by USB not ps2 or serial connections
[06:07] <linux> never eth1 or eth0
[06:07] <hunt577> b1n42y, is that also known as Network Tools under System and Administration?
[06:07] <Wildburn> mezy: try going to desktop and right clicking your flash drive and seeing what it says about mount point
[06:07] <b1n42y> nope
[06:07] <b1n42y> in terminal type sudo service NetworkManager start
[06:07] <mezy> sure
[06:08] <Barridus> Wildburn, ah i see.  i'm not familiar with tablets really, i assumed it was a laptop
[06:08] <b1n42y> hunt577, it should already be in your sys tray
[06:08] <linux> run networkmanager  it is ok
[06:08] <Wildburn> Barridus: what concerns me is that complte lack of resolution and other settings for the screen and video, looks like new xserver handles it on the fly so its not hard coded
[06:08] <hunt577> it says "You must be root to run NetworkManager!"
[06:08] <Wildburn> Barridus: yeah basically a laptop, but bit more complex lol
[06:09] <linux> type in console networkmanager
[06:09] <tripps> anyone know on here when the dell mini10 will ship with ubuntu?
[06:09] <linux> sudo su // root
[06:09] <b1n42y> hunt577, b4 you run that command, look through all your icons in your panels
[06:09] <b1n42y> before*
[06:09] <mezy> Wildburn: mount point: /media/disk
[06:10] <Datz>  I made a shortcut from a text file to execute a program.  I want to add an ICON, how can I do   │aaahhh         ▒│
[06:10] <hunt577> it says "The program "console" is not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install conserver-client
[06:10] <hunt577> ok b1n42y
[06:10] <b1n42y> linux, its a service i dont believe that will work
[06:10] <linux> ah ok
[06:10] <PUfelix85> Hello I am looking for help in the audio department... I have skype installed and when I try to use it skype does not recognize my default audio device. This may be due to my own stupidity ( I may have changed/moved/deleted/etc an important file) can anyone help me fix this problem? *Note: I am a n00b so please speak slowly Thanks
[06:11] <hunt577> ok I am under Network right now b1n42y, it shows Windows Network at the moment
[06:11] <Zykotic> PUfelix85, has skype audio ever worked for you?
[06:11] <PUfelix85> yes
[06:11] <Zykotic> PUfelix85, what changed?
[06:12] <b1n42y> hunt577, is this via a panel icon
[06:13] <PUfelix85> Zykotic, I was trying different methods of making my bluetooth headphones work and I think this may have caused me some problems
[06:13] <Wildburn> mezy: in terminal sudo mount -l
[06:13] <hunt577> yes b1n42y
[06:13] <Datz> I made a shortcut from a text file to execute a program.  I want to add an ICON, how can I do this?
[06:13] <linux> i am probe suse it is  nice ,but is better ubuntu
[06:13] <b1n42y> hunt577, ok right click and choose about, just to make sure it network manager
[06:13] <hunt577> my driver for my wireless connection is listed and its activated so that driver is there b1n42y
[06:13] <Zykotic> PUfelix85, i have had close to no success in getting bluetooth headset to work on ubuntu :(  all your sound is working EXCEPT for skypes?
[06:14] <PUfelix85> yes
[06:14] <mezy> hmmm
[06:14] <Alog_W> my fcitx can't start at system start.
[06:14] <PUfelix85> and it worked earlier when I set it to the NVidia something or other as it's output option
[06:15] <b1n42y> hunt577, sounds like all you need to do is setup a new wireless connection, 3 things you need to know, which you can read usually off a sticker , ID of roter SSID , encryption method and passkey or phrase
[06:15] <hunt577> I don't see an about option b1n42y, I just see Properties
[06:15] <lucky_wang> howResolution ratio
[06:15] <b1n42y> hunt577, right clicking on icon before you get to any windwos
[06:15] <marcham89> Hello I am a new linux user and I just installed and set up ubuntu 8.10 32bit. Should I install 64bit instead? Is it worth it?
[06:15] <fallore> this is my samba share excerpt (from smb.conf), i can't put files into the folder/share that have appeared (from a windows comp on the network). what do i need to change to do so?
[06:15] <Barridus> Wildburn, i see a ton of google results for compaq tc1000 and xorg problems.  seems a bit problematic.  some of the results are ubuntu-specific and may contain the syntax you are missing
[06:16] <rww> marcham89: if you already have 8.10 32-bit set up? no, not really.
[06:16] <marcham89> ok so not a bit performance boost?
[06:16] <marcham89> big*
[06:16] <lucky_wang> how to change the Resolution ratio
[06:16] <lucky_wang> ?
[06:16] <rww> marcham89: Not in the vast majority of applications. If you were doing something that's boosted by 64-bit, odds are you'd know about it.
[06:16] <hunt577> b1n42y how do I go about setting up the wireless connection?
[06:16] <Wildburn> yeah, trying some of them, think I put the dfp thing in the wrong spot though, my xorg.conf doesnt seem to be setup the same as the ones I am finding around
[06:17] <marcham89> rww: thanks
[06:17] <linux> nvidia settings change ratio resolution
[06:17] <Zykotic> PUfelix85, so in skype / Options / Sound Devices / what do you have for sound in & sound out?  how many options do you have, have you tried them all (perhaps restarting skype inbetween??)
[06:18] <Wildburn> Barridus: actually found someone's posted xorg.conf from a tc1000 so gonna try some of the settings in it
[06:18] <Datz> Ok, figured it out for all who would want to know.  right click->properties->click on blank icon to change it.  :)
[06:18] <Datz> well I had some help actually  :)
[06:19] <linux> depend ..you have xorg driver
[06:20] <marcham89> I just installed wine, but can not uninstall anything. As uninstall is not a downloaded so it tells me to run: sudo apt-get install wine
[06:20] <marcham89>  which I do and it does not work. Any ideas? Thanks.
[06:20] <PUfelix85> Zykotic, the options are Default device (default),HDA NVidia (hw:NVidia,0),HDA NVidia (plughw:NVidia,0),HDA NVidia (hw:NVidia,1),HDA NVidia (plughw:NVidia,1),hdmi,headset,bluetooth,pulse
[06:20] <PUfelix85> Zykotic, and yes I have tried them all and atm none work but they have in the past
[06:20] <Zykotic> PUfelix85, have you tried pulse?
[06:21] <PUfelix85> just did and it worked
[06:21] <b1n42y> hunt577, one sec family issues > new wireless connection

[06:21] <redvamp128> marcham89:  is it a program that you installed in wine or just wine itself that you want removed?

[06:21] <sirbondness> !quakewars
[06:22] <sirbondness> :(
[06:22] <Myst> !wodim
[06:22] <PUfelix85> Zykotic, do I just have to use that specific device or is there someway to make it default?
[06:22] <marcham89> a compatible program installed with wine
[06:22] <mezy> i cant go on with this tutorial
[06:22] <hunt577> ok I just restarted the livecd its loading now b1n42y
[06:22] <marcham89> redvamp128 , installed program with wine.
[06:22] <linux> wine is easy installed
[06:22] <redvamp128> marcham89:  was the program listed in the applications -- wine -- uninstall wine software?
[06:22] <b1n42y> hunt577, ?
[06:23] <Zykotic> PUfelix85, not sure, but i'd check in the options somewhere, or perhaps it will stick after restarting Skype, don't know mine's set to default.
[06:23] <hunt577> b1n42y, while you were away thought restarting might help
[06:23] <marcham89> it was listed in the installed wine applications but i want to uninstall it and uninstall does not work redvamp128
[06:23] <sirbondness> someone here with quakewars installed on linux ?
[06:23] <Zykotic> sirbondness, i had the demo installed?
[06:23] <redvamp128> marcham89:  pm? I can talk you through it there if it is ok.
[06:23] <hunt577> b1n42y, its almost back up
[06:23] <mezy> !cfdisk
[06:24] <sirbondness> mhhh...i installed the native linux version...but always when i try to load a map it goes back to desktop
[06:24] <sirbondness> game starts menu works but connecting on server or starting a lan game...iut crashes
[06:24] <Zykotic> sirbondness, no idea man...
[06:25] <sirbondness> :) hehe ok thx
[06:25] <hunt577> b1n42y, it doesn't give the option to create a new wireless connection when I left click, just says Wired Network, Auto eth0, and VPN Connections
[06:26] <^paradox^> im having some problems the ls
[06:26] <PUfelix85> Zykotic, I tried the test call and pulse does not work as the input device any advice there?
[06:26] <doctor> hi ppl - ubuntu 8.04 stacks after exit from games - like UrT... no sound, no new app to launch... wtc?
[06:26] <b1n42y> hunt577, right click edit then
[06:26] <Zykotic> PUfelix85, is the mic muted?  check all the volume levels/mutes... other then that, no idea
[06:27] <tripps> how do I switch to alsa sound system and eliminate pulseaudio in 8.10?
[06:27] <PUfelix85> nope mic is on
[06:27] <hunt577> SSID, is that just the name of the network?
[06:27] <hunt577> b1n42y
[06:27] <^paradox^> i cd into my NES roms directory which has 800 files and i use ls. theyre in alphabetical order, but i cant see anything that comes before g
[06:28] <b1n42y> hunt577, its the name given to wireless network in router
[06:28] <sirbondness> PUfelix85, yeah check setttings had the same problem with mumble...just try different settings ... i use the alsa driver
[06:28] <Zykotic> ^paradox^, ls | more
[06:28] <b1n42y> hunt577, mine is set to optus987987 or something equivalent
[06:28] <hunt577> b1n42y, mode should be infastructure?
[06:28] <hunt577> oh ok
[06:29] <b1n42y> hunt577, yep
[06:29] <hunt577> b1n42y, what would the BSSID be?
[06:29] <andy74> #python
[06:29] <b1n42y> hunt577, mines blank'
[06:29] <hunt577> ok and I will enter the MAC address now
[06:29] <b1n42y> hunt577, leave everything deafult on first tab apart from ssid
[06:30] <hunt577> oh ok done
[06:30] <b1n42y> hunt577, mac would be the routers mac address
[06:30] <b1n42y> mines blank
[06:30] <hunt577> b1n42y my router has a security key, so on the second tab what option would I select?
[06:31] <b1n42y> hunt577, probably wap
[06:31] <b1n42y> hunt577, wep is older encryption
[06:31] <hunt577> I don't see an option for WAP, just different options for WEP
[06:31] <b1n42y> wpa*
[06:31] <hunt577> oh ok
[06:32] <linux> wap  is passfrase wep hexadecimal key
[06:33] <hunt577> b1n42y, what should I do next?
[06:33] <b1n42y> hunt577, add your passphrase tick connect automatically up top if you wish this to be the case save and connect
[06:34] <hunt577> b1n42y, how do I connect?
[06:34] <hunt577> I don't see anything different happening
[06:34] <^paradox^> Zykotic: thanks thats a big help
[06:35] <b1n42y> try left click on icon
[06:35] <hunt577> b1n42y, done but still no options for wireless
[06:36] <b1n42y> hunt577, your wireless name not showing
[06:36] <hunt577> b1n42y, no its not
[06:36] <hmw> Argh, my /etc/motd has been reset to the original "Ubuntu is free and has no guarantee" text. I am uncertain, but I might have gotten a new kernel meanwhile. Which program rewrote that file and how could I prevent that from happening?
[06:37] <Dezine> I have a second computer set up as a web server.. What's the easiest way to remove all but the lamp server to gain some disk space?
[06:37] <b1n42y> hunt577, hmm is your router set to broadcast ?
[06:37] <hunt577> just has grayed out, wired connection, Auto eth0, and VPN connections
[06:37] <hunt577> b1n42y, what is that?
[06:38] <linux> hehe wlan impossible
[06:38] <b1n42y> hunt577, you mentioned earlier that it sees your wireless, wireless is usually eth1 if its not even there than the hardware is not recognised
[06:39] <Jeremy93283> Hi
[06:39] <hunt577> b1n42y, oh ok well not sure why its not working, it works just fine in Windows Vista, not sure why Ubuntu can't recognize it
[06:39] <kkb110> where is the ubuntu off-topic channel?
[06:39] <hmw> !ot
[06:39] <kkb110> thank you
[06:39] <b1n42y> hunt577, driver issue , what wireless card have you git
[06:39] <b1n42y> got
[06:40] <Jeremy93283> For people that use the Opera browser. I use the space bar to scroll down web pages, but when you press the space bar too much and it gets to the bottom of the page then Opera jumps to another link. How do you stop Opera from jumping to a link when you press the space bar at the end of a web page?
[06:40] <b1n42y> kkb110, #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:41] <Myst> hey all how do i take the output of one command and use it in the next command?
[06:41] <hunt577> b1n42y, maybe try lscpi to get that info?
[06:41] <rww> Myst: command1 | command2
[06:41] <b1n42y> hunt577, yep
[06:42] <hunt577> b1n42y, not getting anything when I hit lscpi, command not found, am I typing it in wrong?
[06:42] <b1n42y> hunt577, i thought thats what the command was not working for me
[06:42] <b1n42y> must be
[06:43] <Myst> rww: that wont work... i need to take a number from the output of one command and use that variable in another command
[06:43] <b1n42y> lspci
[06:43] <Red4lpha> can someone tell how do I mount a network storage drive?
[06:43] <b1n42y> hunt577, lspci
[06:43] <hunt577> thanks b1n42y
[06:44] <sparr> Is there an installer for ubuntu that will install a smaller selection of packages than the alternate installer?
[06:44] <b1n42y> hunt577, if you type first couple of letters and tab gives you all possible commands
[06:44] <hunt577> b1n42y, its a Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
[06:44] <b1n42y> hunt577, sometimes its not helpful as 300 come up
[06:45] <b1n42y> hunt577, google AR242 and ubuntu, you might need to download whats called firmware aka drivers
[06:45] <hmw> My motd has been replaced with the original text. I am trying to figure out, which program did it. Someone got an idea, where to look?
[06:46] <hunt577> b1n42y, how do I get that onto ubuntu if its not connecting to the internet?
[06:47] <Myst> hmw, sometimes a newly installed program will overwrite files, but it generally asks you
[06:47] <b1n42y> hunt577, usbstick, wired connection, cd
[06:47] <b1n42y> hunt577, vodoo?
[06:47] <hmw> Myst: thanks. I suspect the normal updates to be the bad guy. Google is not a big help, or I am searching with the wrong terms. I am going to grep my whole file system now. *annoyed*
[06:47] <hunt577> ahh ok b142y
[06:48] <hunt577> got it
[06:48] <^paradox^> ok ls | more does help, but after i scroll down so far i cant get back to the very top of the list. how do i do that?
[06:48] <b1n42y> hunt577, link or tranfer method ?
[06:48] <hmw> Myst: They took away my wonderful colored ASCII art *g*
[06:48] <crdlb> ^paradox^: use less instead of more :)
[06:48] <b1n42y> hunt577, transfer*
[06:48] <Myst> hmw, if you redo a good one i wouldnt mind seeing it...
[06:48] <hunt577> b1n42y, I can hook it up via ethernet cable and go that route
[06:49] <^paradox^> lol ok
[06:49] <b1n42y> hunt577, too easy
[06:49] <hmw> Myst: No, I am not that good *G* It's just a 'figlet <hostname>' in rainbow colors
[06:49] <hunt577> lol
[06:49] <Myst> hehe
[06:49] <crdlb> hunt577: you just need to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid and switch drivers in Hardware Drivers
[06:49] <crdlb> it's on the CD
[06:49] <IRAN_MIKE_TYSON> hi guys, how do I change my JRE_HOME setting
[06:50] <hmw> Myst: If you don't know already, check out mplayer's ASCII video out filter.
[06:50] <tyler_d> why is it when I do nslookup mail.myserver.com I get Address:        <IP_ADDRESS>#53 -- this is the internal address of my server... but whats with the #53?
[06:50] <b1n42y> hunt577, msg me if you get stuck im off for a smoke and break
[06:51] <hunt577> thanks b1n42y I appreciate it
[06:51] <b1n42y> hunt577, /msg username or something along those lines
[06:51] <hunt577> ok will do
[06:51] <b1n42y> hunt577, no
[06:51] <b1n42y> hunt577, no = no probs
[06:51] <b1n42y> hunt577, np*
[06:51] <hunt577> :)
[06:52] <ari_stress> Nautilus cannot be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem.
[06:52] <ari_stress> :D
[06:52] <Myst> hmw, i havent seen it... ill take a look... one thing you could do is write protect the /etc/motd file so it can't be overwritten...
[06:53] <MoStaff> anyone knows the answer to adobe problem with "document right enabled"?
[06:53] <tripps> is there a shortcut way to save the current session without having to go through the prefs->sessions dialog? e.g., hotkey shortcut, etc.?
[06:53] <hmw> Myst: I thought of write protection already, but feared some problems might occur. I might just have found the script. (/etc/{init.d/bootmisc.sh,rcS.d/S55bootmisc.sh}
[06:54] <hmw> Myst: If I only would remember grep and find syntax. Always gotta read the man pages
[06:54] <MoStaff> Adobe Reader Problem Ubuntu!!!!!!
[06:54] <aqUarIuZ_giRLZ> hiy.........
[06:55] <MoStaff> I need typewriter
[06:55] <Myst> hmw, HAHA same here... you could always copy the motd you make into your home directory and then add a cron job to restore it once a day...
[06:56] <buzzomatic> How can I disable australian package mirrors from the terminal?  I want to resolve this once and for all at the root of the evil. The scripts I found, do a cat >> /var/run/motd, so I keep looking
[06:56] <^paradox^> awesome! thats what i needed. i am planning on learning about the command line. its just been very busy month
[06:56] <^paradox^> thanks
[06:56] <Red4lpha> can someone tell how do I mount a network storage drive?
[06:57] <hmw> Myst: I guess, the least people use Ubuntu at the console reguraily?
[06:58] <MoStaff> Does anyone know the answer to Adobe "document right enabled" problem?
[06:59] <hmw> Myst: How sure are you about making motd read only causing no harm later? (The updater might crash or whatever?)
[06:59] <Myst> hmw, yeah most people are gui nowadays... it just doesnt seem like linux with a gui...
[06:59] <hmw> Myst: But it would be a cheap solution...
[06:59] <Myst> hmw, the updater *should* write an error to the log file about overwriting that file...
[07:00] <Myst> hmw, and then just continue
[07:00] <error404notfound> I had ubuntu 8.10 Instlled on my notebook, I installed mac over it, and now ubuntu is gone, can't see it anywhere. Do I need to reinstall grub and add mac's entry?
[07:02] <Myst> error404notfound, i believe you will have to install an MBR utility like grub and re-specify the bootable operating systems... its just been a long time since i have had to do that...
[07:02] <linux> supergrub disc boot
[07:02] <quibbler> buzzomatic: does it have to be par se from the terminal?
[07:02] <error404notfound> linux: supergrub boot disc? was that for me?
[07:02] <buzzomatic> yep, using Ubuntu Server :)
[07:03] <buzzomatic> I just changed all the URLs from au. to us. that did the trick
[07:03] <quibbler> buzzomatic: OK, then i can't help sorry.
[07:03] <leandroal> I have a SIS audio board. The kernel loaded snd-trident module for it, but I can't control the volumes from alsamixer or any other similar software. Any clue?
[07:03] <buzzomatic> Although things are still as slow
[07:03] <rww> buzzomatic: try one of the mirrors at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors
[07:04] <buzzomatic> ok
[07:04] <celeritas> leandroal: well, does the audio work?
[07:04] <linux> supergrub disc is utility for repair boot grub
[07:04] <rww> buzzomatic: the .archive.ubuntu.com ones can get bogged down sometimes
[07:04] <buzzomatic> yeah, thanks
[07:04] <hmw> When doing a grep -r, my notebook's HD led is lit, but my system monitor does sometimes show zero disk activity. How comes that?
[07:04] <linux> other solution is livecd ubuntu
[07:05] <error404notfound> linux: I have ubuntu live cd still
[07:05] <leandroal> celeritas, I can listen to the audio, but very low... then I try to increase the volume level with no luck
[07:05] <hmw> Myst: dpkg could be it, right?
[07:06] <linux> is more easy with supergrub boot disc
[07:06] <[[thufir]]> <IP_ADDRESS>:8080          <IP_ADDRESS>:45112         CLOSE_WAIT seems to be a problem.  how can I free that port?  (tomcat is giving problems)
[07:06] <leandroal> celeritas, I tried to increase all available options that alsamixer provided, but with no effect, even if I try to change the master volume
[07:06] <linux> are you noob in linux_
[07:06] <leandroal> celeritas, any suggestion?
[07:07] <njero> hi all, I have a log file that is not writable by my user (-rw-r--r-- 1 root root), I want to change this (I have sudo)... but I don't want it to be world writable... any pointers on how to do this (or where to learn more about it)
[07:07] <linux> is better option    a
[07:07] <celeritas> leandroal: oh, so the volume control appears, but doesn't work?
[07:08] <Myst> hmw, you know its possible... but i cant seem to recall anything that updates those files...
[07:08] <leandroal> celeritas, yes
[07:08] <celeritas> leandroal: you need to make sure alsamixer is controlling the device and not pulseaudio
[07:08] <Out_Cold> how do i set a swap flag on a partition?
[07:08] <leandroal> celeritas, I already checked this
[07:08] <rww> Out_Cold: mkswap
[07:08] <rww> Out_Cold: then swapon to start using it
[07:09] <celeritas> leandroal: won't work even without pulseaudio?
[07:09] <IRAN_MIKE_TYSON> when i startup tomcat it is giving me /usr/ as my JRE_HOME instead of the dir that i set in my .bashrc  ... how do i fix it?
[07:09] <hmw> Myst: grep "motd" /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst
[07:09] <celeritas> leandroal: I know a lot of onboard cards have very crude output, and there's just no way to increase the volume
[07:09] <Out_Cold> rww, i get "swapon: /dev/hda2: Device or resource busy
[07:10] <leandroal> celeritas, maybe this is my case...
[07:10] <leandroal> celeritas, do you know where can I find information to check whether my card is one of these?
[07:10] <Myst> hmw, looks like that is the culprit and it looks like it overwrote my motd file as well... time to turn off updates
[07:10] <rww> Out_Cold: try swapoff then swapon
[07:11] <linux> for two or theree boot  is for experts users
[07:11] <celeritas> leandroal: well, process of elimination. try a bunch of sound systems, if it is the same with all, it's the hardware
[07:11] <tin_nqn> hello
[07:11] <Myst> hmw, mine was moved to /etc/motd.old
[07:11] <tin_nqn> I'm trying to use Subtitle Editor for first time
[07:11] <Out_Cold> rww, now is there a list option for swaps?
[07:11] <Out_Cold> *activated ones
[07:11] <leandroal> celeritas, that's ok. Thank you.
[07:11] <tin_nqn> to synchronize a transcript with a video
[07:12] <tin_nqn> but the help and tutotorials sucks really much
[07:12] <rww> Out_Cold: cat /proc/swaps
[07:12] <hmw> Myst: i have no .old ... odd. I turned off autoupdates, but I should keep updating, i guess. Changed the template motd and will wait, so I will known, when it happens again.
[07:12] <Out_Cold> cool thanks
[07:12] <tin_nqn> everywhere say: "Use your mouse to edit the time-selection for the actual subtitle-line. "
[07:12] <buzzomatic> thanks for the help rww, got it sorted
[07:12] <tin_nqn> but I really can't
[07:13] <tin_nqn> I don't know how to select a range in the waveform
[07:13] <tin_nqn> here's the official tutorial
[07:13] <tin_nqn> http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/docs/how-to-editing-subtitles-with-waveform.html
[07:13] <Red4lpha> whats the command to have root privileges?
[07:13] <Red4lpha> been a while =/
[07:13] <tin_nqn> could somebody give me a hand?
[07:14] <Myst> tin_nqn, ask your question and people will answer if they can help
[07:14] <Myst> red4lpha, sudo
[07:14] <hmw> when i do a "grep -r TEXT /*", the search will eventually stop causing disk activity (without grep terminating). I suspect certain dirs like /proc. How would I search all my files for a contained string properly?
[07:14] <Red4lpha> errr sorry let me reask my question i mean to stay as a root user
[07:14] <tin_nqn> Myst: of course: How I must do to select a range of time in the waveform of Subtitle Editor, to assign it to my subtitle line?
[07:15] <IRAN_MIKE_TYSON> anyone know about that JRE_HOME thing or is the question too noob
[07:16] <tin_nqn> if I press shift + left click, it selects from the begin until that point...
[07:16] <quibbler> !sudo | Red4lpha
[07:16] <tin_nqn> I really don't understand it
[07:16] <tin_nqn> but looks like the best option to do this task (an every forum say that)
[07:16] <b1n42y> any idea on where or how i can fix this its wireless related > supplicant connection state change < logs that over and over
[07:19] <sd32> is there a vmware version of netbook remix?
[07:19] <moijk> hi. I connected a second monitor to my thinkpad x61s. it has 1200x1024 -resolution, but I don't get that as a choice. how do I fix that?
[07:19] <rww> hmw: try adding the "grep -D skip" switch
[07:20] <hmw> rww: First I tried excluding /dev then i grepped only /var/*, is something in /var, that could cause grep to hang?
[07:21] <tin_nqn> where I could ask about my problem?
[07:21] <sd32> !ask
[07:21] <tin_nqn> sd32: I need to know how to select a range of time in the waveform in Subtitle Editor
[07:21] <rww> hmw: not that I can think of =/
[07:22] <hmw> sd32: in this case, the question of tin_nqn was approproate, as it looks.
[07:22] <hmw> rww: extra weird.
[07:22] <sd32> tin_nqn, , sorry not that advanced
[07:22] <rww> hmw: I'd try that -D thing if I were you. It'll skip block devices, pipes, and other weirdness like that.
[07:23] <tin_nqn> ok thanks anyway
[07:23] <hmw> rww: I could only thing of the kernel file systems. That's what you mean, right?
[07:23] <hmw> s/thing/think
[07:23] <rww> hmw: according to man grep, it skips "devices, FIFO or sockets". I guess there might be some sockets in /var.
[07:23] <tin_nqn> It's look like a recurrent case of great free software with a really sad documentation
[07:24] <tin_nqn> so, it's no so great
[07:24] <hmw> oops... -D is not --exclude-dir. Thanks.
[07:24] <slava> what packages do I apt-get if I want the kernel sources and gnu toolchain?
[07:25] <mlbarnes> I am trying to fix an error that is showing in my mail.log. The error is FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/lib/amavis/tmp/amavis-20090301T221847-03504/parts: lstat() failed. ERROR\n". The setup is clamd with amavis. The sites I see show that I need to add the group. This is what I added to /etc/group amavis:x:118:clamav Does anyone have any suggestions
[07:26] <AncientOfDays> slava: Try "apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic"
[07:26] <slava> thanks
[07:29] <snlemons> does anyone know if there's a package for Python 2.6 for Intrepid? I see packages for 3.0, but not 2.6
[07:30] <hmw> rww: yeah, that almost was it. A "grep -r -D skip TEXT /*" searches my while file system for files containing "TEXT", but it still goes to /dev and displays errors. At least, it works. Thanks!
[07:32] <hmw> mlbarnes: I don't know what's happening there, but maybe its the permissions of some parent dir? Maybe the user needs to be put in another group, too?
[07:39] <victoria> hello i just want to make sure.. if i want to try xubuntu.. i should do.. sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktiop?
[07:39] <fosco_> yes
[07:39] <fosco_> -desktop
[07:40] <snlemons> does anyone know if there's a package for Python 2.6 for Intrepid? I see packages for 3.0, but not 2.6
[07:40] <victoria> fosco_: thank you
[07:40] <victoria> fosco_: one question.. i will still have the option to use ubuntu? i want the option to select both
[07:41] <fosco_> yes
[07:41] <fosco_> in the login screen select options - session
[07:41] <rhythmsoup> morning folks :)
[07:41] <fosco_> there will be at least one for gnome and one for xfce
[07:41] <hunt577> Hello again b1n42y
[07:42] <degrit> hallo
[07:42] <hunt577> I tried to find the driver but I really didn't understand any of it, I am new to ubuntu so it all looked chinese to me
[07:42] <degrit> is there a way on ubuntu to get control of the gpu fan ?
[07:42] <fosco_> degrit: fancontrol
[07:42] <victoria> fosco_: thank you.. one last question.. if i  install xubuntu.. ubuntu will run slower because now is more heavy?
[07:42] <degrit> fosco_, that an app ? command ?
[07:43] <fosco_> victoria: no, i've got kde + gnome + xfce with no slowdown at all
[07:43] <fosco_> degrit: command
[07:43] <lasdlasdlasda> victoria, it should not run slower because of the new window manager
[07:43] <victoria> fosco_: good to know, thank you
[07:43] <victoria> ok
[07:43] <victoria> thanks for the information
[07:43] <degrit> fosco_, thanks, reading the howto
[07:43] <victoria> good to know
[07:43] <hunt577> until I can get wireless internet successfully I'll hold off doing a full install of ubuntu
[07:44] <rhythmsoup> folks seeing as you are talking about desktop managers
[07:44] <rhythmsoup> if i have a PC running kubuntu, can i install xfc?
[07:44] <pablish_arg> rhythmsoup, yeap?
[07:44] <rhythmsoup> xfe*
[07:44] <fosco_> rhythmsoup: of course
[07:44] <pablish_arg> rhythmsoup, sure...
[07:45] <b1n42y> !wireless hunt577
[07:45] <b1n42y> arg
[07:45] <rhythmsoup> and then if i boot into xfe will it use less memory?
[07:45] <pablish_arg> rhythmsoup, you can have as many window manager as you like
[07:45] <b1n42y> tell hunt577 about wireless
[07:45] <fosco_> rhythmsoup: yes, xfce4 is lighter than kde or gnome
[07:45] <giovani> rhythmsoup: yes, xfce is far more lightweight than a full desktop environment like kde
[07:45] <degrit> fosco_, what about nvclock ?
[07:45] <rww> b1n42y: try !wireless | hunt577
[07:45] <hunt577> yeah it mentioned stuff about madwifi, tried some of it but ended up getting errors and it didn't work
[07:45] <werdnum> My X seems to boot okay, but no keyboard or mouse
[07:45] <werdnum> any suggestions?
[07:45] <hunt577> !wireless
[07:45] <fosco_> degrit: this is for nvidia overclocking only
[07:45] <rhythmsoup> yes i have an old compaq PC at home here running Xubuntu and its very happy :)
[07:46] <moijk> hi. I connected a second monitor to my thinkpad x61s. it has 1280x1024 -resolution, but I don't get that as a choice. how do I fix that?
[07:46] <mlbarnes> I am trying to fix an error that is showing in my mail.log. The error is FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/lib/amavis/tmp/amavis-20090301T221847-03504/parts: lstat() failed. ERROR\n". The setup is clamd with amavis. The sites I see show that I need to add the group. This is what I added to /etc/group amavis:x:118:clamav Does anyone have any suggestions
[07:46] <hunt577> yeah I've been there a good bit
[07:46] <b1n42y> !wireless | hunt577
[07:46] <hmw> rww: it is still grepping...
[07:46] <rhythmsoup> and if i add xfe will i still have all the settings say for firefox (book marks etc) available?
[07:46] <rww> rhythmsoup: yes
[07:46] <b1n42y> hunt577, dont give up whats wrong where are you stuck
[07:47] <degrit> fosco_, the card is nvidia all right, what I am trying to solve is that it starts going BRRZRZRRRZRZ, thus slowing down and making the temperature rise - if I touch it while it spins (slowing it down a bit ?) the noise will cease and temp will go down
[07:47] <rhythmsoup> many thanks everyone :)
[07:47] <hunt577> b12n42y, can't figure out how to install the driver
[07:47] <pablish_arg> rhythmsoup, don't worry you'll get the same aplications than kde o gnome
[07:47] <rhythmsoup> pablish_arg: thanks
[07:48] <degrit> in fact I have never dabbled in such things before and don't even know if this is the actual problem
[07:48] <pablish_arg> what do you think about songbird?
[07:48] <b1n42y> have you tried running synaptic and typing in package name
[07:48] <b1n42y> mine was ipw200firmware or something
[07:48] <b1n42y> hunt577, sorry dinner time lol , be back soon
[07:48] <fosco_> degrit: try with nvclock -F "speed", but i've never done it
[07:49] <quibbler> degrit: maybe the card is not seated properly
[07:50] <hunt577> headed to bed, will pick this up tomorrow
[07:50] <hunt577> thanks for all your help b1n42y, have a good one
[07:50] <degrit> quibbler, in the agp slot ? I wish, then it would be a very easy problem to solve
[07:51] <sparr> booting ubuntu on a classic imac for the first time...  wish me luck
[07:52] <sparr> damn
[07:52] <sparr> it powers down :(

[07:54] <werdnum> bah
[07:54] <pablish_arg> what program do you recommend me ... for downloading mp3's? ... i've tried amule, frostwire... and no one helps me :S
[07:54] <FloodBot1> werdnum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:54] <werdnum> after dpkg-reconfigure hal
[07:56] <dotblank> GUYS! great success with encryption and unison
[07:57] <sparr> I am trying to boot ubuntu 8.10 on a G3 imac.  I see it pause at two prompts (one for stage 1, one for yaboot) for a couple of seconds each, continue to a screen with some text ending with "returning from prom_init..." then a screen with "XXXXing, please wait" (the XXXX is lost off the edge of the screen), then the computer powers down.  Any ideas?
[07:58] <dotblank> Nope, havn't used a mac in like forever
[07:59] <zetrac> ghdf
[08:01] <dotblank> Who thinks Deluge should replace transmission as the default BT client?
[08:02] <wxjeacen> hello
[08:02] <wxjeacen> is some here?
[08:02] <dotblank> hi?
[08:02] <fosco_> !hi
[08:03] <c0mp13371331337> dotblank: huzzuh!
[08:03] <wxjeacen> yeh
[08:04] <dotblank> Wow deluge just downloaded a 700mb torrent in about 10 mins. While transmission is at 30%
[08:06] <Kyo>  Indeed should replace, but I thought that the Azureus is better some
[08:07] <alexshenoy> hello
[08:09] <Kyo> 700mb 10mins?  The speed is very quick
[08:11] <Kyo>  Some people speak Chinese?
[08:12] <rww> !cn | Kyo
[08:12] <kbrosnan> !cn | Kyo
[08:13] <innociv> why can't i google to find install guides for mta?
[08:14] <Kyo> thank you
[08:14] <torkel_> anybody know how i can get my ubuntu available as a bluetooth headset? so that i can use my laptop as a headset for my cellphone and get conversations with speakers and microphone
[08:17] <AncientOfDays>  /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty, and startx (mistakenly) thinks my LCD can only run at 00x600 - what's the ubuntu-way to teach it better?
[08:19] <rww> AncientOfDays: if you know the xorg.conf settings you'd usually use, you can just put them in there. Xorg uses autodetection in Ubuntu, but will respect manual configuration stuff put in xorg.conf.
[08:20] <hmw> how do I stop the whole graphical UI? /etc/init.d/gdm stop says "OK" but X is not shut down and the login screen still appears, when i log out of the X session. I want to use the framebuffer from console.
[08:20] <fosco_> hmw: after that close your session
[08:20] <hmw> fosco_ i just did!?
[08:21] <hmw> killing X just shows the login screen
[08:21] <rww> hmw: do the gdm stop thing, then ps -AH and look for xorg processes and kill them.
[08:21] <fosco_> it should take you to a text console
[08:21] <rww> hmw: (in that order)
[08:21] <hmw> rww: gah. another new annoyance. usually gdm stop did the thing.
[08:25] <AncientOfDays> rww: I just thought that there might be a way to prod the auto-detection in the right direction
[08:26] <fosco_> AncientOfDays: yes, force it manually :)
[08:26] <innociv> how do i install mta? :\
[08:26] <bamhm182> does anyone in here use Bot Sentry with Pidgin?
[08:27] <bamhm182> Also, would that belong in to off topic IRC? It has something to do with Ubuntu because Pidgin came pre-installed.
[08:27] <bamhm182> Wow, nevermind, it's too late to be worrying about Bot Sentry, later.
[08:28] <hmw> rww: because gdm stop answered with "OK", i didnt notice, that I called it as a user. Calling with sudo worked as usual. thx.
[08:29] <hmw> rww: player does show videos on the console, when X is up and i use svga output.
[08:29] <AncientOfDays> fosco_: :)
[08:29] <innociv> sudo aptitude install postfix  is all i do?..
[08:30] <chalcedony> innociv: maybe sudo apt-get install filename ?
[08:31] <innociv> ? o_O
[08:31] <innociv> I'm trying to install mta just so i can send confirmation emails on registration
[08:31] <rww> !postfix | innociv
[08:31] <Etherael> what's the deal with 8.10 PPTP connections ?
[08:31] <innociv> yeah that's what i'm reading. wasn't sure its' the right hing
[08:32] <victoria> hi i have a quick question. themes for xfce.. which are the the correct ones? gtk 1.x or gtk 2.x?
[08:32] <fosco_> gtk2
[08:32] <rww> victoria: 2
[08:33] <victoria> thank you
[08:36] <wildbat> what is the commanline to install .deb file?
[08:36] <examancer> I wrote a script that generates a PNG file which shows a history graph of system resources (specifically, CPU temp and fan usage for my laptop) ... any suggestions on how I could have that PNG embedded into my desktop?
[08:36] <examancer> I was thinking gdesklets or something could do that, but i can't find any desklets that will refresh an image
[08:37] <examancer> i just want it to refresh every 5 minutes or so
[08:37] <GrayMagiker> @wildbat dkpg -i <filename>
[08:38] <GrayMagiker> I think, anyway
[08:38] <Breetai> I want to have a passwordless samba share, how do I do that.
[08:38] <wildbat> ^^ thnx ~ good know ~ better then just double click ^^
[08:39] <Breetai> I changed  security=user and my share has  guest ok = yes, but I get a  NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
[08:42] <victoria> rww: hello again, i just download a them that i like.. i extract it on "desktop" i guess i have to copy to other place? because is not working for me
[08:43] <fosco_> victoria: gnome or xfce?
[08:43] <victoria> xfce
[08:43] <fosco_> not sure if xfce can handle themes with "drag and drog"
[08:43] <rww> victoria: you might want to ask in #xubuntu. More Xfce users there ;)
[08:43] <fosco_> open preferences - appearance and drag and drop the theme file over it
[08:44] <alap>  hi, i had written driver for pl2303 and its getting installed properly by modprobe but whenever i am connecting the hardware the kernel is installing its inbuild driver for pl2303 which i don't want to take place. Can any one help me out on this problem.
[08:44] <fosco_> alap: blacklist the modules you do not want to aotoload
[08:45] <fosco_> auto*
[08:45] <rhw1989> Hello peeps
[08:45] <rhw1989> I'm looking for a bit of help
[08:47] <rhw1989> I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 as a virtual machine. Works good but I am looking for help on installing the nvidia drivers for my Geforce 9800GT I have the drivers but the file has an extention value of .run   How do I install it?
[08:47] <hmw> rwh - .run means simply, that you should run it. try prepending ./ before the file name
[08:47] <fosco_> rhw1989: make sure your virtualbox can emulate accelerated graphics
[08:48] <rhw1989> It's Virtual PC 2007 SP1
[08:48] <fosco_> make sure :)
[08:48] <Moult> i just downloaded the daily CD ISO and it's 707MB, it can't fit on my CD. or at least that's what K3B tells me, any ideas?
[08:48] <rhw1989> I ran it in terminal and it told me I needed to run it as root
[08:48] <fosco_> Moult: daily ISOs do not fit in a current CD
[08:49] <GooD2KnoW> hi, i have to convert a .mov movie into a .flv file.. does anyone know a good program for that please?
[08:49] <rhw1989> How do I run the installer as root using the terminal?
[08:49] <fosco_> rhw1989: you'd better use ubuntu repos than .run file
[08:49] <hmw> Moult - the medium might be too small. There is a difference between cd burn media. Some allow more extra data, than others. "Overburning" is always a risk to the drive, too.
[08:49] <SimonXu> What's the difference between Ubuntu Server 8.04 and 8.10?
[08:49] <pogz> how do i ssh to my windows xp computer from my ubuntu computer. it says "Network Error:Connection refused."?
[08:49] <rhw1989> I got the driver from the Nvidia site but they had a horrible installation directions
[08:50] <Moult> fosco_: so, what do i do?
[08:50] <rhw1989> How do I give a file root permissions?
[08:50] <Moult> hmw: risk to my drive? (i don't mind if i screw up the CD)
[08:50] <fosco_> Moult: burn it to a 800mb CD or use it in a virtual machine
[08:50] <rhw1989> I think that might solve my problem
[08:50] <AncientOfDays> pogz: Windows machines don't usually have SSH servers installed
[08:50] <rhythmsoup> SimonXu: do you have a ssh server running on your windows PC?
[08:50] <rhw1989> I have that lol
[08:50] <fosco_> rhw1989: sudo ./file.run (but you'd better use the repos)
[08:51] <rhw1989> The repos are out dated
[08:51] <SimonXu> rhythmsoup: No, I don't.
[08:51] <Moult> fosco_: right, i don't have a 800mb CD, i have a DVD-R though...how would i go about making a virtual machine?
[08:51] <pogz> rythmsoup: i have putty
[08:51] <fosco_> rhw1989: nvidia driver in repos is updated
[08:51] <frdelaet> salut
[08:51] <frdelaet> tr
[08:51] <rhw1989> Ah
[08:51] <boblak> Ciao
[08:51] <rhythmsoup> Simon: if you are ssh-ing to anything the target needs a ssh server
[08:51] <frdelaet> yo
[08:51] <AncientOfDays> pogz: putty allows you to connect from the Windows as a client, to Linux which is running sshd
[08:51] <boblak> Fr
[08:52] <hmw> Moult - all burn media (how would a native english speaker call an empty cd?) have some reserve. If you get lucky, you might be able to burn up to 800MB instead of 740 (or whatever the default is). Using this extra capacity could cause issues with certain CD-ROM drives many years ago. I dont know about the current situation.
[08:52] <pogz> Ancientofdayz: i have putty on my windows comp.
[08:52] <AncientOfDays> pogz: putty allows you to connect from the Windows as a client, to Linux which is running sshd
[08:52] <AncientOfDays> putty is not an SSH server
[08:52] <AncientOfDays> it's a clent
[08:52] <rhw1989> is it the 180.29? Thats what I'm installing
[08:52] <pogz> AncientofDayz: i know that. waht i want is to connecto to my windows comp from ubuntu
[08:53] <fosco_> rhw1989: Versión: 180.35-0ubuntu1 <- the one in jaunty repos, intrepid one is 180.xx
[08:53]  * AncientOfDays sighs
[08:53] <hmw> Moult: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overburning#Overburning
[08:53] <pogz> AncientofDayz: how do i open port 22 on my winxp comp?
[08:53] <AncientOfDays> pogz: You can't, because your Windows comp doesn't have an SSH server running on it
[08:53] <AncientOfDays> pogz: You'd have to obtain and install an SSH server for Win32
[08:53] <rhythmsoup> pogz: for file transfer I would suggest Filezilla server for windows it also supports sftp
[08:53] <req^> (ubuntu server 8.04) Should logs be handled using some program or is it ok if I just mv them around manually? My auth.log is 18 Megs at the moment and anything handling it takes a bit too long so I'd like to clear the old ones
[08:53] <pogz> AncientofDayz: xD.
[08:54] <w3> hai
[08:54] <pogz> AncientofDayz: any idea where can i download it?
[08:54] <cooldduuudde> hullo
[08:54] <w3> nvbnvn
[08:54] <AncientOfDays> pogz: The only sshd software for win32 that I've ever heard of is commercial
[08:55] <rhythmsoup> Is nothing free in the windows world? :D (just kidding)
[08:55] <req^> It is possible to set up opensshd using cygwin I believe..
[08:55] <Moult> rhythmsoup: Windows Media Player
[08:55] <rhythmsoup> AncientOfDays: maybe sourceforge has something?
[08:55] <rhythmsoup> lol@Moult
[08:55] <hmw> pogz: maybe this software does, what you want (ssdh) (german download page) http://www.computerworld.ch/service/downloads/36330/index.html
[08:56] <hmw> sshd
[08:56] <trevor> I've got a problem.  My /etc/fstab isn't mounting my home directory... :C
[08:56] <pogz> hmw: i found it. http://www.freesshd.com/?ctt=download
[08:57] <pogz> AncientofDayz: ty man. now i realized taht putyy is a client. and i need a sshd server to connect with
[08:57] <fosco_> !separatehome > trevor
[08:58] <Acedip> i tried installing ubuntu 8.04 on a frnds pc from the livecd installer, but the partitioner dont show any of the partitions available on the machine.the partitioner was blank with init .. anyhelp..what could've caused that, it's a windows machine???
[08:58] <pogz> tnx guys...
[08:58] <hmw> pogz: can you manually mount the partition?
[08:59] <trevor> fosco_, I've had /home on a seperate partition for about a year and a half now.  I had to resize it, and goofed the UUID.  I cannot get the fstab to automatically mount the drive to the home directory... :C
[08:59] <trevor> I have to manually mount the partition...
[08:59] <fosco_> replace old uuid with current one
[08:59] <jeeves> has anyone here installed Bluediving before?  I can't seem to get it compiled
[08:59] <fosco_> !uuid
[08:59] <Milkeh> in windows to create a directory with subfolders I could use "md Directory/sub directory/sub directory" why can I only create 1 directory at a time with ubuntu?
[08:59] <garrettt> Hi I just installed 8.10 on my eee pc and for some reason cheese nor skype recognize the web cam that is on my computer
[09:00] <Milkeh> garrettt, you will need to install the drivers
[09:00] <Milkeh> garrettt, what type of webcam do you have
[09:00] <pogz> rythmsoup: hey, how can i add an account with administrative rights on ubuntu using CLI?
[09:00] <baldaris> hi..
[09:00] <garrettt> it isn't an external one it is built into the computer
[09:00] <hmw> pogz: not neccesary. Use "sudo -i" instead of logging in as root.
[09:01] <baldaris> i am trying to edit a file, i am using vi to edit a file..but i am not able to edit it properly , i changed file permissioin to 777, even then i am having problems what should i use
[09:01] <pogz> hmw: ty
[09:02] <Milkeh> garrettt, I would take it you are using a laptop, or is it a monitor with a built in cam?
[09:02] <baldaris> ?
[09:02] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[09:02] <garrettt> yeah a laptop, its an eee pc (if that helps)
[09:02] <baldaris> any one newbu here..
[09:02] <rhythmsoup> has anyone successfully setup and got working a fingerprint scanner on a Dell E6400 by any chance?
[09:02] <yaya> ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0
[09:03] <AncientOfDays> I don't understand why people think that's funny
[09:03] <vigge_sWe> hai
[09:03] <ActionParsnip1> rhythmsoup: ive had nothing but grief with those, even under windows, let me see if theres a way to get it to work
[09:03] <vigge_sWe> How can I use AES in ubuntu on WPA2 personal?
[09:04] <vigge_sWe> ubuntu 8.10
[09:04] <hmw> pogz: install pam_usb and configure your usb thumbdrive to be a key card. saves a lot of password typing
[09:04] <Milkeh> garrettt, ASUS Eee PC?
[09:04] <rhythmsoup> ty ActionParsnip1
[09:04] <garrettt> Milkeh, yes
[09:04] <Sertse> is package search down?
[09:04] <Sertse> the website, thatis
[09:04] <hmw> baldaris: who is the owner of the file?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> Sertse: use: apt-cache search <search string>
[09:05] <vigge_sWe> anyone know on how to change encryption on WPA2 personal to AES in ubuntu 8.10?
[09:06] <jeeves> is there a channel for Ubuntu Bluetooth?
[09:06] <|HSO|SadiQ> why is the name of the iso: ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso .... it sounds like it's for AMD CPU's only
[09:06] <crdlb> vigge_sWe: what's the difference? wpa2-psk uses aes
[09:06] <ActionParsnip1> rhythmsoup: dude has this thing got 8Gb RAM?
[09:07] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip1 my PC?
[09:07] <vigge_sWe> crdlb: there is no option to change encryption while on wpa2 personal...
[09:07] <vigge_sWe> Iy only asks for a 32 key hex key
[09:07] <rww> |HSO|SadiQ: because that's the name of the 64-bit instruction set it uses
[09:07] <kraut> moin
[09:07] <vigge_sWe> but we have a shorter real password
[09:07] <Milkeh> garrettt, have you tried going into the skype cam options and seeing if they are all correct?
[09:07] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip1: I only have 2GB, is it really worth the bother I wonder?
[09:07] <crdlb> vigge_sWe: it should ask for a passphrase when using wpa psk
[09:08] <rww> |HSO|SadiQ: it also stops it from getting mixed up with IA-64, which is a completely different 64-bit thing that Intel uses.
[09:08] <Milkeh> garrettt, because everywhere I'm looking it's saying that with eee pc it has pre-installed drivers for ubuntu
[09:08] <crdlb> vigge_sWe: once you give it to network-manager, it will compute it into hex, but you don't have to enter it that way
[09:08] <garrettt> Milkeh, yeah i have and it just isn't detecting it also cheese isn't detecting it
[09:08] <vigge_sWe> crdlb: it does, but it can't connect because it changes the pass to a 32 char long string of random characters
[09:09] <crdlb> vigge_sWe: that's not why it can't connect
[09:09] <vigge_sWe> well, it still doesen't want to connect
[09:09] <|HSO|SadiQ> rww so it shouldn't be changed to x86_64 or something??
[09:09] <vigge_sWe> can it be a matter that the pass contains swedish chars?
[09:09] <crdlb> it did the same thing here and wpa works
[09:09] <Milkeh> garrettt, have you installed the eeelc-acpi module?
[09:09] <rww> |HSO|SadiQ: no, because that's not its name. its name is amd64.
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> rhythmsoup: depends on your needs, if 2Gb is running ok, why waste money
[09:09] <rww> |HSO|SadiQ: AMD designed it, they get to decide what it's called :)
[09:09] <SkyNetMaster> hi, I'm running Ubuntu 8.1 on thinkpad x200s. when I mirror screens through ultrabase the resolution is very low even if the laptop can manage more. and the xorg file have correct values. any ideas how to fix this? xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d26ce54cb
[09:09] <crdlb> vigge_sWe: what wireless chipset is it?
[09:10] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip1: does the scanner take up a lot of RAM then?
[09:10] <|HSO|SadiQ> rww ...ok ...ty :)
[09:10] <vigge_sWe> intel something
[09:10] <vigge_sWe> but I need to go now, the lesson has started
[09:10] <garrettt> Milkeh, no i don't know what that is. Is it in synaptic
[09:10] <Milkeh> garrettt, maybe try taking a look through here: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#acpi_-_fix_the_hotkeys_camera_etc
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> rhythmsoup: might work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger
[09:11] <Gentoolio> hi!! does anybody knows where are located the auto-load modules???
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> rhythmsoup: no i just saw a lot of specs with 8Gb stated
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> rhythmsoup: ive never got on with finger scanners and disable them in the bios
[09:12] <ScrotumPole> Hey, anyone know about WINE/WoW configurations?
[09:12] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip: ok i see. What I did find looked like a lot of work for another method of logging in
[09:12] <garrettt> Mileh, thank you
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: no, but http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft&ei=8KKrSaDQD-Cbtwem59zvDw&sa=X&oi=spellmeleon_result&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNFymflvpMrcXLc5e2VjKH9b4rtyLwdoes
[09:12] <rww> ScrotumPole: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> god i hate google
[09:12] <rhythmsoup> lol
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> yeah that, thanks rww
[09:13] <ScrotumPole> Yes, I've read that page about a million times.
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4169902864.html
[09:13] <ScrotumPole> I can get the game to run. I just can't get any of the menus to show up to log in. It just shows the opening screen like a movie.
[09:13] <ScrotumPole> I'm looking for wine-specific instructions, thanks.
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154
[09:14] <savvas> ScrotumPole: execute this in terminal and paste the output: apt-cache policy wine | grep Installed
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: you need to patch your wine install i seem to remember but it is the higest ranked wine app
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: make sure you install wine from the wine repos and not the ubuntu ones
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[09:15] <ScrotumPole> I did, Action. I am running an Intel 945GM chipset using the native Linux driver.
[09:16] <ScrotumPole> OpenGL (of course) will not work with the native driver. However, with the OpenGL option disabled I can get to where I am at now, which is alot better.
[09:16] <savvas> ScrotumPole: execute this in terminal and paste the output: apt-cache policy wine | grep Installed
[09:16] <ScrotumPole> Sure.
[09:16] <ScrotumPole> lol...
[09:17] <ScrotumPole>  Installed: 1.1.15~winehq0~ubuntu~8.10-0ubuntu4
[09:17] <ScrotumPole> I could have told ya that. lol
[09:17] <ScrotumPole> ;) hehe.
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: seems to run with the intel driver (you could also try i810)
[09:17] <savvas> have you read the appdb? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: http://zavizionov.blogspot.com/2007/09/howto-ubuntu-intel-945-widescreen.html
[09:18] <ScrotumPole> The opening game screen loads fine, except that I can't see a login menu, or option bars.
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/301307
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: try tweaking xorg.conf
[09:18] <ScrotumPole> What values do I need to set on that, Action?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: read those posts
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: intel video isnt brilliant for games
[09:18] <ScrotumPole> Sure. Brb
[09:19] <ScrotumPole> No, but it's been fine for CS:S and WoW under Windows.
[09:19] <ScrotumPole> brb
[09:19] <ActionParsnip1> well drivers under those are much better than in linux
[09:20] <ScrotumPole> Okay, I'm reading the xorg.conf link you sent me. It seems to be dealing with a multiple display issue?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: just make sure you are using the same driver and have something like the mode settings
[09:20] <lianimator> possible to control the volume with mouse binding?? e.g. control+shift+scroll?
[09:21] <savvas> ScrotumPole: Why don't you simply keep windows for games and linux for the rest? a dualboot could save you the extra trouble, at least for now. :)
[09:21] <ActionParsnip1> !shortcut | lianimator
[09:21] <ScrotumPole> That's true. But it's a challenge for me. I don't want to half ass this.
[09:21] <askand> When clicking on a link in evolution I get an error, apparently it is looking for "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/
 http/enabled"    how did the
  part get there and how do I get it away?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: its good to hang in there to reach a goal, its satisying
[09:22] <ScrotumPole> This new version of Ubuntu is the only distro to recognize my hardware from any computer I've ever owend.
[09:22] <ScrotumPole> owned*
[09:22] <ScrotumPole> :)
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> askand: change your hyperlink handler in evolution
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: thats because the hardware will be on the !hcl
[09:22] <savvas> ScrotumPole: have you tried opensuse before claiming that? :P
[09:23] <ActionParsnip1> savvas: you could list a tonne of distros...
[09:23] <xpecs> d
[09:23] <xpecs> hello out there
[09:23] <savvas> ActionParsnip1: opensuse is known for its good hardware support :)
[09:23] <lianimator> ActionParsnip1: doesn't seem to work with mouse
[09:24] <askand> ActionParsnip1: Where do I do that?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip1> savvas: if its linux based then they will be the same
[09:24] <lianimator> I'd like a way to control the volume with the a sticky key and mouse please..
[09:24] <ScrotumPole> No, I haven't tried OpenSUSE. It's about the only one I didn't. :P haha
[09:24] <lopin> Okay...  Now I can't get Nautilus to use my ~/Desktop directory as the desktop.  It's stuck using the ~/ directory, and I've tried the bit in gconf-editor
[09:24] <ActionParsnip1> askand: i dont use evolution. Try tool -> configure evolution
[09:24] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: tried gentoo?
[09:24] <savvas> ActionParsnip1: Nope, an out of the box experience isn't the same. Where ubuntu fails (atheros wifi cards) I suggest them to use opensuse - it works out of the box. Hopefully they'll fix it for jaunty ;)
[09:25] <ScrotumPole> Totally noob question, but how do I update the driver for my video chipset?
[09:25] <Dillizar> ScrotumPole, i know
[09:25] <ActionParsnip1> savvas: its linux at the kernel so its the same OS. maybe out of the box is different but if it can be done in one it can be done in them all
[09:25] <Dillizar> ScrotumPole, i just logged in to say that :D
[09:25] <ActionParsnip1> savvas: my atheros works out of the box
[09:26] <Dillizar> ScrotumPole, down load the envy program
[09:26] <ActionParsnip1> Dillizar: 1, its an intel chipse. 2.  Tried for 3 weeks to get my wireless working, and nada.
[09:26] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole: its a great distro to try
[09:27] <Dillizar> ActionParsnip, i was awake for 48h try to fix my sound and then i just remove my Nvidea drivers and install this and now my sound works
[09:28] <savvas> Dillizar: "install this" <- what this? :) and which nvidia drivers you mean? nvidia graphics?
[09:28] <Dillizar> sorry ScrotumPole i dont know about intel but tell me number my friend has a HP with intel Graphic card and it works fine but he has a 7.04 :P
[09:28] <ActionParsnip1> Dillizar: there is a driver package from nvidia themselves or the packaged ones on the repo which will upgrade along with you. envy / nvidia.com driver must be installed with each kernel upgrade which sucks
[09:28] <SmileDay> .dlroW olleH
[09:29] <defrysk> savvas, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros , and in jaunty ath5k works out of the box
[09:29] <ActionParsnip1> mines worked out of the box since gutsy
[09:29] <n838901> What does .gvfs directory located in $HOME do?
[09:29] <savvas> defrysk: that's great
[09:29] <Dillizar> ScrotumPole,  is your intel smt like 900
[09:30] <defrysk> ActionParsnip, you have another atheroscard then savvas and I use
[09:30] <ActionParsnip1> n838901: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS
[09:30] <ActionParsnip1> defrysk: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[09:30] <crdlb> n838901: it's where gvfs shares are mounted for non-gio-aware apps
[09:31] <crdlb> via fuse
[09:31] <ActionParsnip1> n838901: it's a netgear WG311T
[09:31] <savvas> defrysk: Fortunately, I don't use it anymore - I use ethernet and a 5m wire :p
[09:31] <ActionParsnip1> savvas: i hope its gigabit ;)
[09:32] <n838901> crdlb: it is showing 100% usage from df -h and preventing me from installing packages
[09:32] <crdlb> n838901: nothing in there should affect disk usage on your root partition
[09:32] <trafico28> hola alguien me puede decir donde puedo descargar los mapas de españa para mi tomtom go 520
[09:32] <savvas> ActionParsnip1: yes it is :))
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> n838901: which partition?
[09:32] <Dillizar> savvas, sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk  <-- this but dunno maybe ActionParsnip is right but i am just waiting 9.04 to remove my 8.04 cuz 8.10 is buggy till then i will use envy
[09:32] <defrysk> savas , for pre-intrepidversions go here : http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> savvas: good.
[09:32] <crdlb> nor your home partition if you have them separate~
[09:33] <n838901> ActionParsnipl: in my home directory
[09:33] <crdlb> n838901: it's kind of a /mnt/ for gvfs
[09:33] <ActionParsnip1> Dillizar: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[09:33] <ActionParsnip1> Dillizar: i'll get you a proper driver
[09:33] <n838901> crdlb: why is it set to a max of 6.7gb?
[09:34] <defrysk> savvas, most issues can easy be solved with some googling and rtfm ;p

[09:34] <eonos76__> Hello everybody. I am trying to find a solution to my problem for the past 3 days with no success.
[09:34] <ActionParsnip1> n838901: check your email attatchments if you use an email client
[09:35] <Gentoolio> emerge nvidia
[09:35] <n838901> ActionParsnip1: no email cliet in use
[09:35] <ActionParsnip1> Gentoolio: indeed but this is ubuntu, try: sudo apt-build install ;)
[09:35] <Dillizar> ActionParsnip, i have installed those but with envy and i tond want to experiment now cuz i have my sound after 2 days of no sleep and working like hell
[09:35] <eonos76__> I hope you can help me. When I do a telnet mailgw.swip.net 25 I get telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[09:35] <defrysk> ActionParsnip, AR242x
[09:35] <Laeborg> I can't login in my kubuntu, after I have tried to install libplasma and some compiz packages. I come to the KDM login screen, enter my password, and click enter, but then the screen is being black, and after ~2 sec im back to the login screen.
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> n838901: good, then i guess you are down to checking web cache and/or backup up your pron/vids.pics to cd/usb /sd card to clear space
[09:36] <Gentoolio> yum nvidia
[09:36] <eonos76__> Everytime I try to telnet a port 25. I get this Connection refused
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> Gentoolio: urpmi nvidia
[09:36] <simplexio> eonos76__: there is such open port in target host
[09:36] <eonos76__> Any idea how to debug this problem ?
[09:36] <eonos76__> yes
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: can you ping the server by name
[09:36] <eonos76__> yes
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: if not, can you ping its ip address
[09:37] <eonos76__> Yes I can ping it
[09:37] <simplexio> eonos76__: i meant to say that there isnt such open port in hosts or firewall blocks access
[09:37] <Moult> i have downloaded an amd64 livecd for ubuntu, i am new to virtualbox and i am trying to run it, however it says this is a i386 computer, how do i change it to amd6?
[09:37] <n838901> ActionParsnip1: HAHA large files are in their respective folders in Home..not using gvfs for that
[09:37] <crdlb> n838901: what makes you think it's actually consuming diskspace?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: i get 220 telnet mailgw.swip.net ESMTP 5.2.6. It is you again :-(
[09:37] <eonos76__> How can I know if a firewall block this accesss ?
[09:38] <n838901> crdlb: df -h says so
[09:38] <crdlb> n838901: if you mount an NFS share from a remote computer, that'll show up on df too
[09:38] <n838901> crdlb: but no contents with 'ls -a'
[09:38] <ActionParsnip1> n838901: i never said to, I said you need to clear some space by taking the data off the partition (either removed or you could have a folder on another partition and symlink it)
[09:38] <Gentoolio> que putas don miguel
[09:38] <Gentoolio> como te baila
[09:38] <simplexio> eonos76__: sound like some firewall/spamdetections sytem blocks your connections
[09:38] <eonos76__> ActionPars.. : What do you meaqn ?
[09:39] <eonos76__> simplexio: How can I make sure of that ?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: thats literally what I am told when I try to connect, even the smiley
[09:39] <Myrtti> Gentoolio: did you have something worthwhile to give to this channel? I see nobody has yet answered your question, perhaps you could repeat it?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: i think they are using a different port maybe
[09:39] <defrysk> !es : Gentoolio
[09:39] <n838901> crdlb: here is line from df..   gvfs-fuse-daemon      6.7G  6.1G  225M  97% /home/n8/.gvfs
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> !es | Gentoolio
[09:39] <eonos76__> ActionParsn: Why don't you get connection refused like me ?
[09:40] <crdlb> n838901: if it were consuming disk space, it would count towards /
[09:40] <crdlb> and if it did that, it wouldn't have its own line :)
[09:40] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1: Try this one telnet mailgw.swip.net 25
[09:40] <simplexio> n838901: .gvfs dosent use itself space i think. it just somekind virtual filesystem for gnome use

[09:41] <huwenfeng> i got a directory containing a lot of pictures!    i'd like to use these pictures as my desktop background, and i want the system to change it automatically! can i do that? or any one know how to change the background using command line, then i can write a script to do the job!

[09:41] <ActionParsnip1> huwenfeng: i know how to do it in kde and fluxbox, but not gnome
[09:42] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1: and this one telnet gmail.com 25 ?
[09:42] <simplexio> huwenfeng: xset i think
[09:42] <crdlb> Dillizar: I would change that if I were you :)
[09:42] <Dillizar> lol crdlb yes i am doing it right now
[09:43] <huwenfeng> ActionParsnip1: you do that by using the tools by KDE or other tools or you write you script?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: gmail dont use port 25
[09:43] <defrysk> gmail uses ssl
[09:43] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: for pop they use 995 and for smtp they use 465 or 587
[09:44] <huwenfeng> simplexio: seems not that tools
[09:44] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1: My real problem is that I am not able to send an email from this machine. When I try I get this : gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [<IP_ADDRESS>] Connection refused
[09:44] <ActionParsnip1> huwenfeng: in fluxbox its a script, in kde its one of the default screensavers

[09:44] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: googlemail dont use the normal pop / smtp ports like you are expecting
[09:45] <simplexio> huwenfeng: xsetroot ?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: which is why you are most likely getting the errors. They have a page on how to set up the majority of mail clients
[09:45] <eonos76__> I am just trying to understand why this command does not send emails "echo testing | mail -s Bla2<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: thunderbird has a special gmail wizard which sets all gmail's weird settings up for you

[09:46] <eonos76__> evolution can send email but not by command line
[09:47] <eonos76__> My problem does not come from my account configuration because it is working on evolution
[09:47] <hmw> I installed wicd, because NetworkManager wouldnt work with my wireless nor with my HSDPA modem. Wicd seems to work with my wireless (I can't test it here), but I have no clue, how to activate the HSDPA modem. I want to get online via HSDPA (Huwaei) before I go to a cafe for testing the wifi, in case I need more downloads or whatever. Please give me a hint, where to start with my HSDPA modem (NetworkManager saw it, but it wouldnt connect)
[09:47] <eonos76__> but my goal is to send emails via the command line
[09:48] <eonos76__> and this is not working
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: then use mutt or alpine
[09:49] <ActionParsnip1> hmw: run lspci and lsusb on the system, one line will identify the device, you can then websearch from that
[09:50] <hmw> ActionParsnip: I know, what modem it is, but I did not find anything on google so far. Just a general question: Do I need some sort of pppd stuff?
[09:50] <hmw> ActionParsnip: what am I looking for??
[09:51] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1: Can I send an email using just a command with mutt ?
[09:51] <ameet> Is there a program with GUI like lspci?
[09:51] <eonos76__> like the mail command ?
[09:51] <n838901> hmw: did you right-click on Network Manager and edit the connection before you tried to connect?
[09:51] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: i know it runs in terminal, I'm sure there might be a way, check it out
[09:52] <hmw> n838901: wicd deinstalled NetworkManager. It would not function anyways, I tried quite hard.
[09:52] <ActionParsnip1> hmw: its the chip inside thats important, not the make / model of the device
[09:52] <hmw> E220
[09:52] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1: I am checking right now but it does not look like it
[09:52] <hmw> ActionParsnip: what program would I tell about the hardware?
[09:52] <n838901> eonos76__: you can always use netcat ^_^
[09:52] <hmw> what kind of? driver? ppp manager? kernel module?
[09:53] <hmw> in ifconfig, no device appears, when I plug in my HSDPA USB
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> hmw: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/how-to-use-the-wireless-modem-huawei-e220-on-ubuntu-665155/
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> hmw: looks like you just need to: sudo modprobe options
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> *option
[09:53] <ameet> I wanted to know what hardware my computer uses. Just like Hardware Manager in Microsoft Windows.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> ameet: lspci
[09:54] <n838901> ameet: lspci
[09:54] <hmw> ActionParsnip: ah, that sounds reasonable. Reading the linked page. Thx.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> ameet: and for usb devices, lsusb
[09:54] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1 : How can I send email with netcat ?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: never done it, ive done it with telnet though
[09:55] <ameet> n838901: Is there a GUI based version of that command?
[09:55] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1 : this is what I was trying to do with Telnet but I cannot connect
[09:55] <n838901> ameet: i believe so.. try hwinfo
[09:55] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: i guessed :)
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> ameet: i use the commandline way as it does what it says on the tin
[09:56] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1 : do you know a mail server I could connect with using telnet to test it
[09:56] <Dillizar> crdlb, done :P
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: technically they all can, you just need use the right port. Im unsure if ssl based ones will do it though
[09:56] <ameet> ActionParsnip1: Ok.
[09:57] <ActionParsnip1> !info hwinfo
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> ameet: why is the command line one so bad?
[09:58] <Gentoolio> RTFM

[10:02] <rww> loa_router: the only Ubuntu liveCD that supports ext4 is the Jaunty live CD. Jaunty is off-topic for this channel anyway (you should be at #ubuntu+1)
[10:02] <loa_router> rww, ok thx.

[10:06] <smokinjoe> Can anyone help?
[10:07] <smokinjoe> Yeah bazooka upgrade to 8.10
[10:07] <[[thufir]]> what I mean is, how do I change <IP_ADDRESS>:8005 TIME_WAIT  to something else?
[10:07] <hmw> ActionParsnip: sorry for being in "noob" mode, I am in a hurry (should be departing by now) - I read the article, and I have /dev/ttyUSB{0,1}. Which program would create the interface? pppconfig seems to expect a device being up already.
[10:07] <rww> smokinjoe: that's not helpful.
[10:07] <bazooka> it was working fine until yesterday . 8.10 is not the solution
[10:08] <bazooka> my system is not getting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . i am using ubuntu 8.04 . can anybody help me please ?
[10:08] <hmw> ActionParsnip: With NetworkManager (also under Fedora, where it works perfectly), I always get a ppp0 device.
[10:08] <ScrotumPole1> ActionParsnip: Do you know how to check/update a video driver?
[10:08] <bazooka> my system is not getting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . i am using ubuntu 8.04 . can anybody help me please ?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole1: depends how you installed them
[10:09] <ScrotumPole1> Automatically picked up by Ubuntu
[10:09] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1 : my main problem is that I cannot telnet the port 25 of any external machine
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:09] <n838901> bazooka: what did you do prior to the shutdown issue?
[10:10] <ScrotumPole1> Okay
[10:10] <bazooka> i connect the webcam . thats it
[10:10] <bazooka> connected *
[10:10] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: the server may not use 25, you should check rather than assume
[10:10] <eonos76__> ActionParsnip1 : please try this one telnet 8buzz.com 25
[10:10] <ActionParsnip1> hmw: is the option module loaded?
[10:10] <eonos76__> I know it uses the port 25
[10:11] <hmw> ActionParsnip: yes-
[10:11] <hmw> .
[10:11] <eonos76__> Where can I find more log about my telnet connection ?
[10:11] <n838901> bazooka: have you tried to shutdown from the command line..ie 'shutdown -h now' ??
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: 250 8buzz.com
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: when i said helo
[10:11] <[[thufir]]> how do you "clear" a port?  <IP_ADDRESS>:8005          TIME_WAIT   so that it's "free" as shown in netstat?
[10:11] <bazooka> nope . should i try now ?
[10:11] <ScrotumPole1> Did all the sudo apt-get's. Do I now have the latest version of my video card driver?
[10:11] <eonos76__> me I get telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: on the sites config for how to setup mail clients for its service
[10:12] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: are you running a firewall?
[10:12] <n838901> bazooka: sure
[10:12] <eonos76__> no
[10:12] <Dreamglider> If i bought a new hd for my laptop could i just copy my ubuntu partition to it and boot up the pc and it would work ?
[10:12] <bazooka> n838901: i will get back to you . if it doesnt work
[10:12] <ScrotumPole1> No, you'd need a bootloader, Dream
[10:12] <n838901> dreamglider: yes if you DD the drive
[10:12] <BlackZ> Salve a tutti
[10:12] <Dreamglider> DD ?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: try turning off your router for 20 seconds
[10:13] <BlackZ> salve
[10:13] <n838901> !info dd
[10:13] <tuxtor> Hi anybody know if the changes that I do in the kernel with sysctl app are permanent?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> Dreamglider: it copies a device bit by bit to another device
[10:13] <rww> eonos76__: It's possible that your ISP blocks traffic over port 25 to mailservers other than theirs.
[10:13] <n838901> dreamglider: dd is a commandline tool that will do a bit-for-bit copy
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> Dreamglider: you will need to reinstall gru from live cd
[10:13] <eonos76__> Is there a command to trace the telnet connection I am trying to do ?
[10:14] <n838901> eonos76__: my isp blocks outgoing mail unless it is relayed through their mailserver
[10:14] <hyun> ÈÞ
[10:14] <hyun> ÀÌÁ¦ µÈ´Ù
[10:14] <Dreamglider> ok so i would boot ubuntu, insert the new hd via usb and use DD, easy as that ?
[10:15] <eonos76__> How can I know where the blocking is occurring ?
[10:15] <n838901> eonos76__: you can run tcpdump
[10:15] <rww> eonos76__: Your ISP is Wanadoo, correct?
[10:16] <ActionParsnip1> eonos76__: you can traceroute to the server
[10:16] <n838901> dreamglider: yes. you *may* have to boot with bootcd and run grub to reinstall bootloader but can't remember..it's been a while
[10:16] <n838901> ..but that's not difficult
[10:17] <Dreamglider> ok so it's pretty easy so to say :)
[10:17] <bazooka> ting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . i am using ubuntu 8.04 . shutdown from terminal also doesnt work . can anybody help me please
[10:17] <Dreamglider> knock on wood.
[10:17] <eonos76__> I am trying traceroute
[10:17] <bazooka> my system is not getting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . i am using ubuntu 8.04 . shutdown from terminal also doesnt work . can anybody help me please
[10:17] <ScrotumPole1> How do I check my video card driver?
[10:17] <n838901> dreamglider: yeah, it's not hard at all :)  dd is awesome
[10:18] <rww> eonos76__: if your ISP is Wanadoo (as your hostname indicates), you could try "telnet smtp.wanadoo.fr 25". If that works and other SMTP servers don't, I'd say it's pretty damn likely that your ISP is blocking it.
[10:18] <n838901> scrotumpole1:  check your xorg.conf file for the driver in use
[10:18] <bazooka> my system is not getting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . i am using ubuntu 8.04 . shutdown from terminal also doesnt work . can anybody help me please
[10:18] <eonos76__> rww : no the connection is still refused
[10:19] <Dreamglider> im tired of this small 60Gb disk
[10:19] <[[thufir]]> bazooka: how long has this been happening?  what's dmesg say?
[10:19] <eonos76__> but I checked with the local domain it is working
[10:19] <[[thufir]]> bazooka: I have no idea, but I think that info will help others help you
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> Dreamglider: depends on your space needs
[10:19] <bazooka> [[thufir]]: it all started after i connected my webcam . no message is displayed
[10:20] <n838901> bazooka: will it shutdown if you disconnect the webcam?
[10:20] <Dreamglider> actionparsnip 60 dualboot, win and ubuntu. i need more space :P
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> Dreamglider: ahhh, is it a dualboot with vista?
[10:20] <[[thufir]]> bazooka: and a pastebin of dmesg? again, I have no idea, I'm a noob.  but I know dmesg helps diagnose these things.
[10:20] <bazooka> n838901: did not try . thought it to be foolish to be a reason
[10:21] <n838901> bazooka: me too...but you never know :)
[10:21] <ScrotumPole1> ActionParsnip: All I see is "Configured Video Device", etc.
[10:21] <Dreamglider> actionparsnip no way, xp
[10:21] <ScrotumPole1> lspci shows me more info than this lol
[10:21] <rww> ScrotumPole1: scroll through /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It'll be in there.
[10:21] <bazooka> n838901: let me try then
[10:21] <ScrotumPole1> Okay
[10:21] <bazooka> BRB
[10:22] <n838901> scrotumpole1: you can also run 'lsmod' and see what video module is loaded
[10:22] <ActionParsnip1> Dreamglider: both are pretty naff
[10:22] <maxagaz> quelle est la commande pour obtenir la taille d'un dossier et de tous ses sous-dossiers ?
[10:22] <maxagaz> sorry...
[10:24] <n838901> anyone have a problem with Intrepid server randomly refusing connections?
[10:24] <rww> maxagaz: du -chs
[10:24] <ScrotumPole1> ActionParsnip: It recognizes my chipset, and says I'm using an "Xorg Driver".
[10:25] <n3rd4i> anybody here please i need some help with my Cannon Pixmai1700
[10:25] <n3rd4i> Cannon iP1700 driver
[10:25] <Dreamglider> can i use DD to transfeer the ntfs (windows) partion to the new drive aswell ?
[10:25] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> fuck ubuntu
[10:25] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> debian sucks
[10:25] <FloodBot1> sh4d3sl4y3r_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:25] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> red hat rocks
[10:25] <n838901> dreamglider: yes
[10:25] <rww> sh4d3sl4y3r_: Do you have an Ubuntu technical support question?
[10:26] <bazooka> my system is not getting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . if i unplug my usb webcam ...then everything works fine . please help
[10:26] <n3rd4i> can anyone help me?
[10:26] <bazooka> my system is not getting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . if i unplug my usb webcam ...then everything works fine . please help
[10:26] <n838901> n3rd4i: what is the problem?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip1> n3rd4i: ask and find out
[10:26] <ScrotumPole1> ActionParsnip, it recognizes my chipset and tells me I am running an "Xorg Driver". What does this mean?
[10:26] <rww> bazooka: Go into your BIOS and check for an option in its Power Management section about waking on USB input
[10:26] <n838901> bazooka: that actually worked????
[10:26] <n3rd4i> i need a Driver for my Printer = Cannon Pixma iP1700
[10:27] <n3rd4i> or an echivalent
[10:27] <bazooka> n838901: yes it did
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole1: you are running a default driver, you need to edit xorg.conf to use the intel driver
[10:27] <bazooka> rww : please elaborate i am a newbie
[10:27] <Dreamglider> n3rd4i: have you tried plugging it in and print somthing ?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole1: i gave you tonnes of links on this. The driver is part of a standard ubuntu install so all you have to do is tell your system to use it
[10:27] <n3rd4i> yes My cannon gets connected , its being recocnised but it says that the driver is not found
[10:27] <maxagaz> rww, thanks
[10:27] <n838901> bazooka: do you know how to access your bios?
[10:27] <n3rd4i> and i need some echivalent
[10:28] <ScrotumPole1> Yes, I know. But realize I am new to Linux overall, please.
[10:28] <hmw> ActionParsnip: I remembered, that my old Ubuntu notebook is configured to manually dial in, but I cant remember, how I started the connection. It was something like: <program> <what chat script>
[10:28] <Dreamglider> n3rd4i: my printer worked "out of the box" :)
[10:28] <bazooka> n838901: no dude i dont know
[10:28] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole1: true but not new to reading and following instruction i hope :D
[10:28] <n3rd4i> so what should i do ?
[10:28] <n838901> bazooka: when you turn the computer on..it tells you to press some key to enter setup..press that key
[10:28] <rww> bazooka: When your computer first starts, before any Ubuntu stuff comes up, do you get a prompt to "Press [something] to enter setup" or something like that?
[10:28] <ScrotumPole1> Not at all. Understanding the things in it is a different story.
[10:28] <ScrotumPole1> Lingo=bullshit.
[10:29] <rww> !ohmy > ScrotumPole1
[10:29] <yellabs> any one that uses ekiga?
[10:29] <bazooka> n838901: and what after that
[10:29] <rww> bazooka: Look for a section in there about power management. Look through that section for stuff about waking on USB input. Disable that stuff.
[10:29] <n838901> bazooka: look through..yeah what he said
[10:30] <rww> bazooka: We can't give you more detailed instructions than that without knowing what sort of computer you have. If you got your computer from an OEM and it's still under warranty, ask them.
[10:30] <bazooka> thanks . i'll try this .. and get back to you two . thanks for the help
[10:30] <ActionParsnip1> ScrotumPole1: read the links, you need to populate the xorg.conf file
[10:30] <hmw> I cant remember, how to start a ppp connection. I have a configured Ubuntu, but I dont know, how to initialize the dialup anymore. What program do I have to call?
[10:30] <rww> bazooka: You're welcome. Good luck :)
[10:30] <n838901> bazooka: any time
[10:30] <Mr_Bananas> :'(
[10:30] <n838901> hmw: gnome-ppp is a good gui
[10:30] <ActionParsnip1> !ppp | hmw
[10:31] <hmw> n838901: thats not the thing, which is already installed. Any other similar programs?
[10:31] <Mr_Bananas> does my vodafone live work on linux?
[10:31] <n838901> hmw: wvdial from command line
[10:31] <tabla> hi ppl
[10:31] <hmw> n838901: it should work already, i just forgot how to start the connection.
[10:31] <tabla> can anyone give me link how to add vhost on ubuntu?
[10:31] <tabla> all what i have got i dont understand them
[10:31] <n838901> hmw: gnome-ppp will start the connection
[10:32] <rww> tabla: please elaborate on what you mean by "vhost"
[10:32] <ScrotumPole1> Be careful admitting that you don't understand.... :P
[10:32] <hmw> wvdial seems not to be the program, which i configured, it looks for a normal serial conn. I have something configured for my HSDPA
[10:32] <tabla> like adding host masks to eggdrop
[10:32] <tabla> to hide my real ip
[10:32] <rww> tabla: on which network? this one?
[10:33] <tabla> rww: no like linknet and so one
[10:33] <sangi> how could i transfer my contacts from system to mobile which is in .backup format
[10:33] <n838901> hmw: configure gnome-ppp to use /dev/***  (*** being the modem in question)
[10:33] <Mr_Bananas> .backup file reader
[10:33] <hmw> n838901: you misunderstand me. I need to figure out, how to use the existing solution. I need it quickly for the other noteboook.
[10:34] <Pontif_La_Rouge> does anyone have experience setting up a touch screen in 4.10?
[10:34] <n838901> hmw: you would like to use NetworkManager?
[10:34] <hmw> i find all the scripts, i used. The ones with the dial up parameters, passwords aso. But I cant remember, how I started it.
[10:34] <ScrotumPole1> ActionParsnip: Could you send me a link (again) showing me how to populate my xorg.conf, and explaining what "populating" in general is?
[10:34] <hmw> it was something like ppp drei
[10:34] <n838901> hmw: ppp-on?
[10:35] <hmw> yeah! THANKS!!!
[10:35] <n838901> hmw: welcome ^_^
[10:35] <hmw> but that command is no longer there...:((
[10:35] <n838901> try pppon
[10:35] <hmw> n838901 i tryed ppp<TAB> - no.
[10:35] <tabla> rww: i installed apache already but dont know any how to add vhost to eggdrop and such things
[10:36] <hmw> but i remember it was some pppon alike
[10:36] <lstarnes> tabla: apache has nothing to do with the type of vhosts that you are talking about
[10:36] <ScrotumPole1> Anyone know what populating a file is?
[10:36] <rww> ScrotumPole1: putting stuff into it
[10:36] <n3rd4i> .... ubuntu and ip1700 = incompatible ...damn
[10:36] <lstarnes> tabla: what you need are multiple public IPs and each one needs to resolve to a different domain
[10:36] <ScrotumPole1> Thanks, rww.
[10:37] <lstarnes> tabla: technically, vhosts all point to a real IP
[10:37] <tabla> lstarnes thats what im looking im new on linux stuff so any help wil be nice
[10:37] <Pontif_La_Rouge> does anyone have experience setting up a touch screen in 4.10?
[10:37] <lstarnes> tabla: if you do not want an IP that your own computer uses being shown, run the bot from someone else's shell account
[10:37] <tabla> lstarnes but if you do whois on mirc it wount show it
[10:37] <sangi>  how could i transfer my contacts from system to mobile which is in .backup format
[10:38] <lstarnes> tabla: that's why reverse dns needs to be set up for the IPs and the bot needs to bind to one of those IPs
[10:38] <tabla> lstarnes its very unstable and i wanna keep my company stuff in there so dont wanto to run it somone other pc
[10:39] <sangi> how could i transfer my contacts from system to mobile which is in .backup format
[10:39] <ScrotumPole1> Anyone know what I would need to populate my xorg.conf with?
[10:39] <lstarnes> tabla: if those IPs are owned by your ISP, they might not let you set up reverse dns for them
[10:39] <ScrotumPole1> I keep getting elitist answers and not enough real world solution :P
[10:39] <hmw> ActionParsnip, n838901: it was "pon ppp" thanks
[10:39] <oCean_> Pontif_La_Rouge: 4.10? as in Warty release?
[10:40] <lstarnes> tabla: some irc networks do have the ability to scramble or hide IPs
[10:40] <judstin> I have a question about themes in gnome....its a noobish question, anyone wants to help just PM me :) thanks
[10:40] <tabla> lstarnes you mean +h flag?
[10:41] <lstarnes> tabla: usermode +h/+x depending on the ircd
[10:41] <lstarnes> tabla: some networks have other methods, like changing the host using services
[10:41] <bazooka> i could not find waking on usb input option or any other relevant option under power management in the BIOS .
[10:41] <tabla> lstarnes how i set this up on eggdrop if it connects? you know anything about that?
[10:42] <lstarnes> tabla: it depends on the network
[10:42] <ScrotumPole1> I need help populating my xorg.conf.
[10:42] <bazooka> i could not find waking on usb input option or any other relevant option under power management in the BIOS .
[10:42] <n838901> hmw: yeah thats it :)
[10:42] <tabla> lstarnes linknet allows it i know that
[10:42] <lstarnes> tabla: which method do they use for that?
[10:42] <tabla> lstarnes +h flag
[10:42] <bazooka> n838901: i could not find waking on usb input option or any other relevant option under power management in the BIOS .
[10:42] <hmw> n838901: now i gotta transfer the config to the other pc. Can you tell me by heart, which files i will have to copy? (i am in a hurry)
[10:43] <lstarnes> tabla: that's not a flag, that's a usermode
[10:43] <Pontif_La_Rouge> oCean_: no, intrepid? o.o  god I can never remember the I bit
