[18:27] <SirTopHat> I've...
[18:27] <SirTopHat> er
[18:27] <worm> janisoza1r, I also have a ~/.mozilla directory...that's odd
[18:27] <SirTopHat> I did that already then it said it had unmet dependencies for some perl thing. I tried installing that and that had unmet dependencies for this one version of perl-base
[18:27] <SirTopHat> why can't it just install the unmet dependencies by itself?
[18:28] <Pici> SirTopHat: It should. Sounds like theres some inconsistancies with your repositories.
[18:28] <Pici> SirTopHat: Can you do the following: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[18:28] <Pici> SirTopHat: Then: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:28] <janisoza1r> worm: ~/.firefox/plugins
[18:29] <SirTopHat> can't find the package pastebinit
[18:29] <janisoza1r> SirTopHat: apt-cache search pastebin
[18:30] <SirTopHat> did you mean webboard
[18:30] <LordLandon> janisoza1r: sprunge.us
[18:30] <Pici> SirTopHat: Sounds like your /etc/apt/sources.list file does not have some of the repositories enabled.
[18:30] <janisoza1r> LordLandon: why me?
[18:30] <LordLandon> janisoza1r: http://sprunge.us
[18:30] <fiocinino> hello i have a problem  bluetooth  help me please
[18:30] <janisoza1r> LordLandon: why me?
[18:30] <SirTopHat> this SSH client doesn't support copying or pasting I think
[18:30] <worm> janisoza1r, still nothing
[18:31] <LordLandon> janisoza1r: no pastebininit.
[18:31] <SirTopHat> ok whatever, I'm not wasting my day with this. some other day
[18:31] <worm> janisoza1r, dropped libflashplayer.so into ~/.firefox/plugins
[18:31] <fiocinino> Can't connect RFCOMM socket connection refused
[18:32] <imam> anybody can help me>
[18:33] <janisoza1r> worm: locate says, that this files in my system resides here: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[18:33] <albano> clear
[18:33] <janisoza1r> worm: which i guess would explain why it also works in opera, i think, as i was recently wondering.
[18:33] <worm> janisoza1r, well I guess you're using the firefox 3.0.12 from the repositories ?
[18:34] <janisoza1r> worm: tbh i don't know
[18:34] <janisoza1r> worm: wait a sec, i'll go and check
[18:34] <mechtech> Well...how goes the battle today?
[18:34] <janisoza1r> worm: it's 3.5.1
[18:35] <imam> anybody knows how to add d4x in opera?
[18:35] <worm> janisoza1r, you installed the package firefox-3.5 or firefox ? Because in my case i've downloaded the binaries from the mozilla website
[18:35] <janisoza1r> worm: oh, i guess you should've not
[18:35] <janisoza1r> !firefox-3.5 | worm
[18:36] <janisoza1r> imam: d4x?
[18:36] <AaronT1> to install firefox3.5 to the newst version i'd use ubuntuzilla
[18:36] <anonymous> lol
[18:37] <janisoza1r> worm: if you want to stay with your current binaries, then you should find it's installation dir (probably /opt/bin/firefox or sth like that) and put it in plugins dir over there
[18:37] <AaronT1> search for ubuntuzilla on sourceforge
[18:37] <imam> webdownloader for x
[18:38] <ideamonk> is iceweasel/icecat available for ubuntu ? i used it on debian lenny and iceweasel worked faster and smoother than firefox 3.0.x on my ubuntu 9.04
[18:38] <Guest53506> n8tuser -> next commands helped me: sudo passwd && su && ulimit -n 2048 ))))
[18:38] <grawity> ideamonk: Isn't IceWeasel basically Firefox with a different name?
[18:38] <grawity> ideamonk: There aren't any other differences, AFAIK.
[18:39] <mechtech> ideamonk: I KNOW it's available for Debian, and since Ubuntu is just a derivative, I would lean toward yes...but not sure on that
[18:39] <janisoza1r> ideamonk: are you sure iceweasel is actully something different from firefox?
[18:39] <worm> janisoza1r, the installation dir is ~/firefox (extracted it from the tar file). I've tried to drop the plugin into ~/firefox/plugins but it didn't work, that's strange i know :(
[18:39] <janisoza1r> ideamonk: like in firefox without branding?
[18:39] <ideamonk> grawity, yeah, i thought iceweasel was more compatible with linux !
[18:39] <fiver22> imam: you can get d4x from Synaptic Package Manager. Is that what you wanted?
[18:40] <grawity> ideamonk: IceWeasel is only Firefox minus the logo.
[18:40] <ideamonk> janisoza1r, hmm i think its not different, but dunno why i had a nice experience with it
[18:40] <mechtech> fire is to ice as weasel is to fox??  LOL
[18:40] <janisoza1r> worm: well, you can still try ~/.mozilla, beyond that i can't help you
[18:40] <ideamonk> grawity, oh... hmm
[18:40] <bobbob1016> Is it possible to have my computer monitor my network and adjust my usage accordingly?  I want to leave it as the downloader on my network, but I don't want it to use more a high percentage of my bandwidth of there is a lot of other traffic.
[18:40] <ideamonk> mechtech, fire is to ice as fox is to weasel :P
[18:41] <janisoza1r> !iceweasel
[18:41] <mechtech> ideamonk: oops
[18:41] <ubuntizer> Hello  :D
[18:41] <worm> janisoza1r, ok thanks anyway
[18:41] <mechtech> !hi | ubuntizer
[18:42] <ideamonk> ubuntizer, hello there
[18:42] <AaronT1> hello ubuntizer
[18:42] <mattgyver> bobbob1016, thats gonna rely more on your routers setup than anything else
[18:43] <benno_fra_dk> Hi - i'm new to irc. Is this where I ask why l2ping returns "invalid exchange" on my bluetooth gps?
 Wassup :)
[18:43] <fiocinino> hello Aaron
[18:43] <janisoza1r> !ask | benno_fra_dk
[18:43] <AaronT1> hello

[18:43] <fiocinino> help me please

[18:45] <fiocinino> can't connect socket RFCOMM connection refused
[18:45] <fanec75m> how can i setup hotmail account in thunderbird, ubuntu jackalope 9, i have tried 100 times, please help...
[18:45] <imam> actually pop3 for hotmail it's closed
[18:46] <fanec75m> so i have no chance for  the moment?
[18:46] <AaronT1> fiocinino: whats the model of the bluetooth adapter, there might not be any linux drivers for it
[18:46] <worm> janisoza1r, what do you think about Chromium btw ? Does it support flash player ?
[18:46] <janisoza1r> worm: unofficially, yes
[18:46] <fiocinino> bcm 2040
[18:47] <janisoza1r> worm: wait, you mean chromium or google-chrome?
[18:47] <fiocinino> is mini 9 dell ubuntu intrepid
[18:47] <mechtech> fanec75m: try here: http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et_free_hotmail.htm
[18:47] <worm> janisoza1r, i thought it was the same thing ?
[18:47] <janisoza1r> worm: technically not
[18:47] <daveletourneau> fiocinino: I have the same model and never had problem with my bluetooth gps and mouse
[18:47] <janisoza1r> worm: although google uses chromium as their base technology
[18:48] <janisoza1r> worm: but these are 2 different browsers
[18:48] <jlogic> www.google.com
[18:48] <janisoza1r> worm: i haven't used chromium for quite some time now, but google-chrome is nice
[18:48] <sonism> worm: chromium - fast paced, arcade-style, scrolling space shooter :D
[18:48] <Hetor`> I need a tool for checking HDD surface. Any suggestions?
[18:48] <daveletourneau> fiocinino: what device are you trying to pair with?
[18:48] <janisoza1r> worm: hehe, yeah, you mean chromium-browser ;)
[18:48] <imam> bro, how to play warcraft in ubuntu?
[18:49] <janisoza1r> worm: i dislike some things in it, am a die-hard firefox fan, but chrome is small and takes only a second to load, while firefox, especially with weave, is soooo sluggish to start
[18:49] <fiocinino> gps nokia ld-3w daveltourneau
[18:49] <worm> I'm just looking for a browser that displays pages smoother and faster than firefox3.0.12 (firefox 3.5.1 does it) and which supports flash player too, that's quite simple actually :|
[18:49] <fanec75m> thanks mechtech
[18:50] <janisoza1r> worm: go for ff3.5
[18:51] <worm> janisoza1r, the problem with the "shirekoto" thing is that there are a few websites which does not recognize it as "firefox" so you can't access to some functions...that's pretty annoying for me
[18:51] <daveletourneau> fiocinino: hmm, ok. So, can you confirm that the os is up to date, the bluetooth icon appears in the tray and you can see your gps in the detected bluetooth device list?
[18:51] <janisoza1r> worm: well, you can change useragnet in about:config
[18:52] <worm> janisoza1r, ok i'll give it a try then, brb
[18:52] <daveletourneau> I had some problem initially with Ubuntu 9.04. The bluetooth stack was broken at first
[18:52] <janisoza1r> also there might be some explanation how to switch to firefox in ubottu's !firefox-3.5
[18:52] <ptn107> worm: you can use the user agent switcher to change 'shiretoko' to 'firefox' (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59)
 yes
[18:52] <mechtech> hetor: man fsck
[18:53] <daveletourneau> fiocinino: Have you tried to pair with a secure connection?
[18:53] <fiocinino> yes davel
[18:53] <mechtech> fanec75m: did that work for you?
[18:54] <fiocinino> I followed a how to that I found on the ubuntu forum
[18:54] <ladinu> anyone know how to use distcc over SSH?
[18:55] <om26er> ikonia: please help me my wireless internet is working but wired internet says device not managed
[18:55] <arisv> hello, because packages.ubuntu.com seems to be down for me so I have to download the packages each one seperated, did aircrack have any dependencies required?
[18:55] <arisv> :)
[18:55] <fanec75m> mechtech now i am trying
[18:55] <mechtech> om26er: man interfaces
[18:55] <mechtech> fanec75m: lemme know
[18:55] <om26er> mechtech: what?
[18:55] <fiocinino> daveletourneau: I followed a how to that I found on the ubuntu forum
[18:56] <mechtech> om26er: refer to the man pages for interface...I've found them to be invaluable
[18:56] <Hetor`> mechtech: I can't see an option to check the surface
[18:56] <mechtech> Hetor: you suspect a bad drive?
[18:56] <mechtech> Hetor: making noises?
[18:56] <mechtech> Hetor: what's up?
[18:57] <arisv> anyone?
[18:57] <daveletourneau> fiocinino: ok, can you give me the url and the step that didn't work?
[18:57] <ProfOak> Is the Synpatic Manager being super slow for anyone?
[18:57] <daveletourneau> fiocinino: When you try to pair the GPS have you seen the option to send a 4 digit code?
[18:57] <janisoza1r> arisv: "sudo dpkg -i package.deb" and it'll complain if it want's something else
[18:58] <attorianzo> Why soundservers are necessary? aren't ALSA drivers and alsa libs and applications enough?
[18:58] <genii> ladinu: Maybe see the section headed "Security" at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9814
[18:58] <Hetor`> mechtech: when I run my computer, it says "A problem with the hard drive has been detected blaaaaaah" before loading GRUB. Sometimes fails too boot, some files become broken.
[18:59] <Hetor`> to*
[18:59] <lomez> hi all, random question. i was doing some updates on my eee pc (ubuntu netbook remix) and somehow i screwed up grub. now it only boots into memtest. suggestions?
[18:59] <janisoza1r> !grub | lomez
[18:59] <Cube__> hey
[19:00] <janisoza1r> lomez: there might be copy of your previous menu.lst in /boot/grub
[19:00] <lomez> ty janisoza1r, do you recommend just going through the reinstall grub? there might be, but i cant boot into anything but memtest, doesnt give me any other options
[19:00] <worm> ptn107, great addon thanks, but how do i know the correct navigator.userAgent value ?
[19:01] <worm> ptn107, i got this : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:<IP_ADDRESS>) Gecko/20090716 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5.1
[19:01] <ProfOak> No one is having problems with the synaptic package manager? I'm downloading at like 3-7 KB/s. Just a tad slow, for a cable connection.
[19:01] <janisoza1r> lomez: i dislike reinstalling grub, i'd rather recover the menu.lst based on existing values
[19:01] <Cube__> im trying to get kismet to run. how do i know that it can actually run on my wifi card?
[19:01] <ladinu> genii, thanks
[19:01] <mechtech> Hetor: fsck hda1 (or whatever) -v for verbose output...this will tell you whether the filesystem is corrupt...if you find that fsck cannot repair the volume...backup all your data and perform a low-level format, this will write all zeros to the drive, then all 1s over and over until it is totally blank...then re-partition, re-format using ext3 or whatever and re-install OS
[19:02] <fiocinino> Daveletourneau : all step ok "rfcomm connect rfcomm0 MAC channel "  connection refused
[19:02] <sonism> lomez: try to Find /boot/grub/menu.lst~ It will be there by default if you edited menu.lst with gedit
[19:02] <Hetor`> mechtech: I have already checked my filesystems
[19:03] <mechtech> Hetor: but if you DO have physical damage to the platters, or read-write armiture, then it's time for a new drive
[19:03] <lomez> ok thanks sonism , janisoza1r
[19:03] <mechtech> Hetor: ok...if your filesystem is intact, then the drive is undamaged...you may need to re-install GRUB loader the theR
[19:04] <om26er> device not managed error can anyone help me
[19:04] <mechtech> Hetor: to the MBR
[19:04] <mechtech> om26er: what device?
[19:04] <Hetor`> mechtech: but the message appears before GRUB even starts to load, so it has nothing to do with my problem
[19:04] <om26er> mechtech: ethernet card
[19:05] <ptn107> worm: Tools -> Default user agent -> Edit user agents; then add a 'new' user agent, change all instances of shiretoko to firefox, click ok; now use the tools -> default user agent -> to change to the user agent you just created
[19:05] <mechtech> Hetor: any way you could get the EXACT error, and post it?
[19:05] <mechtech> om26er: man interfaces
[19:06] <Hetor`> mechtech: how? Capture boot process to my mobile phone?
[19:06] <worm> pnt107, works fine, thanks
[19:06] <mechtech> Hetor: was hoping maube you could write it down =)
[19:06] <mechtech> maube = maybe
[19:06] <fanec75m> mechtech it works only to recive messages, i still cant send any message
[19:06] <Cube__> test
[19:07] <Hetor`> mechtech: "A problem with the hard drive has been detected. Press enter to continue." Then GRUB loads.
[19:07] <Guest75> ok is any1 here one of these so called phone geeks
[19:07] <mechtech> fanec75m: use your ISP's smtp server for sending
[19:07] <aypee> Hi. I'm mounting my /home from an NFS server. Everything works great but I can't suspend from Gnome. It just hangs with a black screen and a flashing cursor. Any pointers to troubleshooting steps I could take? I can't find anything pertinent in the log files.
[19:08] <Kingsy101> can someone suggest a FTP client I can use on ubuntu ? preferably something similar to FlashFXP
[19:08] <kane77> hi, copying on my pendrive is slow (600-300kB/s), what could cause it?
[19:08] <tvuser> hi, I'm trying to setup sidewinder joypad in jaunty. I've modeprobed sidewinder and joypad and i have the gameport loaded, but sudo cat /dev/input/js* fails... :-( can someone help me setting it?
[19:08] <Cube__> kane77: is it connected to an USB 2.0?
[19:08] <Hetor`> mechtech: anyways, I've asked for a tool which can check the HDD surface. Do you know any?
[19:08] <AaronT1> aypee, mine hangs with a black screen to
[19:08] <mechtech> Hetor: but fsck returns good results?
[19:08] <kane77> Cube__, yes
[19:08] <Kingsy101> I still havnt fixed that crashing issue, but it hasnt happened again so I am thinkin just wait until it happens again
[19:08] <jonex_> ubuntu doesnt let me get in into a specific website
[19:08] <Hetor`> mechtech: yes (after a long repair)
[19:08] <Kingsy101> and I will try Ctrl Alt F1 etc
[19:09] <AaronT1> aypee, i think its just an issue with ubuntu
[19:09] <th0r> jonex_: which site?
[19:09] <kane77> Cube__, at least in windows this port worked as usb2 port
[19:09] <mechtech> Hetor: no, and as I said if there were a problem with the surface, there would be a problem with the filesystem
[19:09] <aypee> AaronT1: It worked OK for me in Hardy
[19:09] <AaronT1> aypee, it only happens to me when i hibernate though
[19:09] <mechtech> sorry =(
[19:09] <nawk> I need help removing a package I didn't properly install (due to dependancy and stuff) using the 'dpkg'
[19:09] <Pici> Guest75: Why not ask your real question and we can either answer it or forward you on to a more appropriate channel.
[19:09] <Guest75> i am trying to find a link to down lload on my htc touch pro im not a geek but i am capable of certain thing im trying to find a app that is a car pricing guide for my phone
[19:09] <jonex_> th0r: denschool.com ....everybody can acces except me
[19:10] <aypee> AaronT1: Does it only happen when you're logged in?
[19:10] <Hetor`> mechtech: filesystem was broken though. I repaired it recently. And some weird stull is happening to my OS. Input/Output errors, broken files, etc.
[19:10] <nawk> i tried doing 'dpkg --purge googleearth-package' but it is saying : dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove googleearth-package which isn't installed.'
[19:10] <Hetor`> stuff*
[19:10] <AaronT1> atpee, yeah
[19:10] <nawk> but the files are in fact in '/usr/lib/googleearth'
[19:10] <nawk> i want to clean it
[19:11] <th0r> jonex_: I got to the login screen without aproblem. what happens when you try to go there?
[19:11] <aypee> AaronT1: What's the OS on your server?
[19:11] <AaronT1> ubuntu
[19:11] <aypee> AaronT1: Jaunty?
[19:11] <AaronT1> yep
[19:11] <jonex_> th0r: loading and loading  and loading..and then erros comes out
[19:11] <fiver22> jonex_: I tried it and can't get it either -Server Not Found
[19:12] <kroson> hi people
[19:12] <AaronT1> i hibernated earlier today, but it hung with a black screen, it did it before on my old comp
[19:12] <th0r> jonex_: do you get the login screen and then it hangs when you try to login, or does it hang before the login screen appears?
[19:12] <kroson> ive been trying to use karmic since alpha2, but my wireless is not working
[19:12] <mechtech> hetor: I thought earlier you said your filesystem was intact...sorry...my son is restless in my arms need to put him to sleep...brb
[19:12] <kroson> it is a 3945abg intel wireless card
[19:12] <Pici> kroson: Karmic support and discussion is in #ubuntu+1
[19:12] <kroson> i think the new version of the driver broke it
[19:12] <kroson> any solution as of now?
[19:12] <zopiac> my Rock Band USB Microphone shows up just as "USB Audio" in my Sound Preferences. It used to say Logitech USB Microphone, but now it shows this and doesn't work properly. Can anyone help me fix this?
[19:12] <kroson> ah ok
[19:13] <jonex_> th0r: nope ...Page Load error
[19:14] <th0r> jonex_: do you have noscript installed? or do you have javascript disabled?
[19:14] <jonex_> th0r: how i know that bro?
[19:14] <aypee> AaronT1: Do you have hibernation problems without an NFS mount?
[19:14] <xiong> i attempt to delete an empty folder in evolution -- the error is 'cannot delete folder "adeleteme"' -- what is the solution?
[19:15] <AaronT1> aypee, yep
[19:15] <Hetor`> mechtech: this started happening after a thunderstorm though. The power went off, then I saw that message for first time and found my filesystems broken. So I belive my harddrive got physycal damamge. I just want to run a surface check to make sure.
[19:15] <AaronT1> aypee, i think its just an OS problem
[19:15] <AaronT1> aypee, suspend works on my comp though
[19:15] <th0r> jonex_: well, if you had installed noscript in firefox you should know it, as for javascript...check Edit-Preferences-Content to see that java and javascript are both checked
[19:15] <zopiac> i've never gottem MIDO output to work quite right on any of my computers in my two years of using linux...can anyone help?
[19:15] <zopiac> sorry, meant MIDI
[19:16] <knitt1> hi. i'm having problems with totem since i reinstalled ubuntu
[19:16] <knitt1> i don't have any sound and the volume button is greyed out
[19:16] <knitt1> sound works fine in vlc, banshee, rhythmbox, …

[19:17] <Evil-Cat> hi
[19:17] <AaronT1> hi
[19:17] <aypee> AaronT1: Sorry. I was getting confused. Do you have SUSPEND problems without an NFS mount?
[19:17] <Evil-Cat> how can i install gcc updates ??
[19:17] <fiver22> jonex_: I cant get the site or even ping it
[19:17] <Evil-Cat> i'm new in ubuntu
[19:17] <th0r> jonex_: although that isn't likely to be the issue since it is a simple html form and not a script per se. The page is actually very simple and should load quickly.
[19:17] <janisozaur> Evil-Cat: what updates exactly?
[19:17] <AaronT1> aypee, i don't have any problems with suspend
[19:18] <AaronT1> aypee, just hibernate
[19:18] <Evil-Cat> janis i think to install all updates
[19:18] <aypee> AaronT1: OK
[19:18] <jonex_> exactly
[19:18] <janisozaur> !tab | Evil-Cat
[19:18] <knitt1> i don't get any warnings in console (except one about hash module from python, but i think that'? unrelated)
[19:18] <knitt1> any ideas?
[19:18] <janisozaur> Evil-Cat: use update manager
[19:18] <Evil-Cat> ok
[19:18] <Evil-Cat> thx
[19:18] <snoopddrm> hello everyone
[19:19] <janisozaur> snoopddrm: hello
[19:19] <th0r> jonex_: don't know where to go from here....I got it to load without hesitation. Not an xhtml expert...but the page isn't that complex <smile>
[19:19] <shane2peru> I have an easy question, I had installed fusion-icon to manage between compiz and metacity, now I removed it from startup and metacity no longer loads, any ideas?
[19:19] <snoopddrm> janisozaur: hello
[19:19] <jonex_> th0r: im getting desperate cuz thats  the website im working on int
[19:20] <shane2peru> how do I get metacity to load on startup?
[19:20] <snoopddrm> janisozaur:  its me again from yesterday ;-) i've gotten ubuntu to work good, no more hangings or firefox refusing to start ;-)
[19:20] <lomez> forgive my stupidity if this is obvious, but i just booted into an ubuntu live cd and it just takes me to a bash shell, not the gui-iffic live environment. how do i start x/gnome?
[19:20] <Whitor> Does anyone else have a problem with firefox, facebook, and adding photos ?
[19:21] <AaronT1> shane2peru, i'd reinstall compiz-fusion then right click on the icon and select metacity windows manager
[19:21] <Whitor> it works once... then the next time I go to add a photo, FF greys out and I have to kill it and restart it
[19:21] <knitt1> lomez: sure it's a live cd and not an alternate one?
[19:21] <th0r> jonex_: OK...let's see if I can explain what just happened. I opened the link you posted with a right click, and it opened no problem. But there is a 'Test Link' near the top of the page that points to the same url, and it took forever to load just now
[19:21] <snoopddrm> janisozaur: is there a GUI interface for removing/resizing/deleting/merging partitions on disks?
[19:21] <lomez> knitt1, yes, ive used it before (to install the system)
[19:21] <ubuntizer> Hello all :P
[19:21] <knitt1> lomez: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[19:21] <thiebaude> ubuntizer, hi
[19:21] <shane2peru> AaronT1: I really quit using Compiz, so I would like to get metacity without having to have the fusion-icon running.
[19:21] <axisys> at my work the wireless is only available through leap.. and I am running ubuntu .. so should I jsut install wicd pkg for leap to work with ubuntu latest ?
[19:22] <Sj4lut_> I have Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE) and somehow I can't play nexuiz... Just like my card would be to slow? I didn't installed any drivers. When ubuntu was installed my X worked properly but when playing games it's a little laggy... HOw can I check if my drivers are properly installed?
[19:22] <th0r> jonex_: but now it seems to be reloading quite quickly
[19:22] <lomez> ty Knightlust

[19:22] <PolitikerNEU> Hello, does anybody know how configure tomcat so I can access it from hosts != localhost?
 Wassup
[19:22] <thiebaude> ubuntizer, not much
[19:22] <shane2peru> AaronT1: and metacity worked fine before, just odd to me that doesn't start now
[19:22] <glmo> Hi
 same here :) so you too new to ubuntu ? m a newbie
[19:22] <axisys> i see it tries to remove network-manager.. yikes ..
[19:22] <jonex_> th0r: I D K what else to do
[19:22] <axisys> wicd that is
[19:22] <daveletourneau> Whitor: Maybe not a fix but try to install prism-facebook. It makes Facebook a standalone app on your desktop (there are many other prism webapp available and you can create your own too. It's just a browser without all the functionnalities)
[19:23] <knitt1> my volume control is greyed out in totem and i don't have sound. i can't seem to fix the problem by myself. can anybody please help me?
[19:23] <th0r> jonex_: I would guess there might be an issue between your isp and this server, it seems to be working ok from here (maryland, usa)
[19:23] <glmo> Is it possible to choose wich packages That should be installed in the ubuntu installation?
[19:23] <snoopddrm> hi, can anyone tell me how to delete partitions in ubuntu?
[19:23] <jiohdi> is there any need of an anti-virus for ubuntu?
[19:23] <AaronT1> shane2peru: id google it, you might have to edit a startup script to make it work again
[19:23] <janisozaur> snoopddrm: gparted
[19:23] <Pici> jiohdi: No, unless you are serving files to windows users.
[19:23] <lomez> jiohdi, not really, but there is ClamAV if youre interested
[19:23] <thiebaude> ubuntizer, yea, offtopic is at #ubuntu-offtopic, this place is only support questions
[19:23] <jonex_> th0r: an issue like what?...... thats weird weird
[19:23] <snoopddrm> janisozaur: is it a GUI or text based interface?
[19:23] <laclasse> jiohdi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9089
[19:23] <Whitor> daveletourneau, ok, I'll try it, thank you :)
[19:24] <jiohdi> thanks
[19:24] <daveletourneau> NP works great for me
 oh i didnt knew it :) thanks :D
[19:24] <janisozaur> snoopddrm: parted is the main (cli) wrapper for libparted, gparted is gtk gui

[19:24] <otacon1221> Is Ubuntu Server better at allocating bandwidth than a dedicated router?
[19:24] <piglit>  what was the command to view network errors in console ?
[19:25] <janisozaur> piglit: ifconfig
[19:25] <janisozaur> piglit: oh, errors... hmm...
[19:25] <th0r> jonex_: don't know. my tracert to denschool.com completes in 16 steps...not unusual or unacceptable
[19:25] <laclasse> otacon1221, not out of the box, good router can do traffic shaping etc ... you can turn a linux box into a router, but it might be a lot of effort compare to getting the right router.
[19:25] <linuxguy2009> Does anyone know if there is any online documentation about creating icon themes for gnome? Or any IRC rooms?
[19:26] <knitt1> linuxguy2009: #ubuntu-artwork maybe
[19:26] <linuxguy2009> thank you knitt1
[19:26] <snoopddrm> janisozaur: ok, thanx!!!!
[19:26] <ltcabral> hey im trying to install kerberos with: sudo apt-get install krb5-{admin-server,kdc} and im getting this: failed to open configuration file `/home/users/luist/.dpkg.cfg' for reading: Permission denied
[19:27] <otacon1221> Hmm...Well, the problem I have is there are five devices in use on the network at any given time - A Windows box, my Linux box, my brother's Mac box, a networked printer, and my brother's X-Box 360, and I can't get any of the devices to communicate with each other
[19:27] <otacon1221> And the X-Box 360 is a huge bandwidth hog
[19:27] <janisozaur> ltcabral: aren't parentheses escaped by bash perhaps?
[19:28] <ltcabral> janisozaur: the command is right... it worked when i used before... but now im getting this error
[19:28] <grawity> janisozaur: The command is correct, it will install krb5-admin, krb5-server, and krb5-kdc
[19:28] <grawity> ltcabral: Check your ~/.dpkg.cfg
[19:28] <janisozaur> ok
[19:29] <ltcabral> grawity: there isnt any
[19:29] <Keiffer> What command do you use for listing all open ports on Ubuntu machines?
[19:29] <janisozaur> Keiffer: netstat with some options perhaps
[19:29] <grawity> ltcabral: There is no /home/users/luist/.dpkg.cfg ?
[19:29] <marchizzi> hi
[19:29] <Keiffer> janisozaur, ok.
[19:29] <ltcabral> grawity: no
[19:29] <ltcabral> grawity: how can i make one
[19:29] <Keiffer> Should I use Firestarter?
[19:30] <Sj4lut_> How can I check what driveres do I use for my ati x700 pro? radeon or ati(fglrx)
[19:30] <Sj4lut_> ?
[19:30] <Pakas> ups in spanish
[19:30] <otacon1221> laclasse, my main issues that I'm trying to solve are that I want all the devices to be able to communicate with each other and that I want something that can give me more fine-tuned controls over bandwidth allocation, such as what services/protocols get priority and stuff like that
[19:31] <coz_> Sj4lut_,  ah let me check hold on
[19:31] <racecar56> how do i make a secopndary x display
[19:31] <petx> !vpn
[19:31] <racecar56> *secondary
[19:31] <rioch> hi, I have some partitions on a second hdd that are ext4 (created during install) but they are owned by root, so users cannot write to them. How can I change that?
[19:31] <axisys> i notice leap just worsk with mandriva
[19:31] <ltcabral> grawity: so?
[19:31] <rioch> they are mounted
[19:31] <Sj4lut_> rioch: chmod -R a+wrx /partition
[19:31] <helo> is there a jaunty line dvd?
[19:32] <helo> live dvd
[19:32] <axisys> is there a way i can make leap to work seemless in ubuntu like in mandriva ?
[19:32] <laclasse> otacon1221, do you have a router? buy a wrt54g, they are cheap, and run linux with open source firmwares that are very powerful
[19:32] <coz_> Sj4lut_,  try   glxinfo|grep OpenGL\ version
[19:32] <Sj4lut_> rioch: u can also specify what group can use this partition with command chown
[19:32] <Whitor> daveletourneau, Same prob with prism .... must be a prob with java on my machine
[19:32] <Sj4lut_> coz_: OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.4
[19:33] <mechtech> keifer: sudo ufw status
[19:33] <otacon1221> I have a D-Link WBR-2310, but I don't know if I can do any Linux firmwares with it
[19:33] <Sj4lut_> coz_: wow, I don't have drivers at all? :D
[19:33] <laclasse> otacon1221, have a look at http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/about.html
[19:33] <coz_> Sj4lut_,  that seems to be the case  :)
[19:33] <Sj4lut_> lol
[19:33] <rioch> Sj4lut_: I'll give it a try. What user should I use since I want all users to be able to access the partition?
[19:33] <laclasse> otacon1221, see that page and click the 'supported hardware' tag
[19:33] <ryanakca> I have a box A behind a NAT and can't forward the port. I can ssh a box B on the outside. Is it possible to create a tunnel from B->A without forwarding the port on the router?
[19:33] <Sj4lut_> rioch: than doesn't matter just sudo chmod -R a+wrx /partition
[19:33] <darkhamm> can i browse packages in synaptic by the reposytory link?
[19:34] <laclasse> otacon1221, seems you are out of luck: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Known_incompatible_devices
[19:34] <Jordanmota> how can I tell what soundcard I have in this computer? Any terminal commands?
[19:34] <Sj4lut_> coz_: for full 3d support It's better fglrx? Since I have ati x700 ?
[19:34] <genii> lspci
[19:34] <rioch> Sj4lut_: will it be remembered when I reboot?
[19:34] <janisozaur> ryanakca: ssh con forward ports, but it's beyond my knowledge and experience
[19:34] <Sj4lut_> rioch: yes
[19:34] <coz_> Jordanmota,  you could open a terminal and type   alsamixer and the card should be identified there
[19:34] <laclasse> otacon1221, in any, your d-link should be able to do traffic shapping, and dhcp so all your hosts . devices have an ip address on the same subnet
[19:34] <ryanakca> otacon1221: OpenWRT maybe?
[19:34] <Guest85087> ola
[19:34] <Whitor> ryanakca, you could forward every port. YOu couldalso VPN into a tunnel setup on your router ... but you'd have to set that up first
[19:35] <coz_> Sj4lut_,  good question I would go to #compiz and ask  adamk  since he is more the ati guy  I thed towards nvidia stuff
[19:35] <laclasse> ryan8403_work, dd-wrt is a spinoff openwrt, device is marked incompatible atm
[19:35] <Jordanmota> coz: thanks, will try it
[19:35] <AaronT1> otacon1221: you could use the tomato firmware,
[19:35] <aypee> Hi. NFS mounted /home prevents suspend in Gnome. How can I troubleshoot?
[19:35] <Sj4lut_> coz_: ok
[19:35] <ltcabral> help plz... i dont have a ~/dpkg.cfg ... how do i get one?
[19:36] <AaronT1> otacon1221: see if it supports your device
[19:37] <petx> hi all... I try to connect to VPN... any clue...??
[19:37] <laclasse> ryanakca, can you ping A to B? if not, you will need to open a port
[19:37] <Evet> I have to assign localhost.localdomain to <IP_ADDRESS> HOW can I do it??
[19:38] <rioch> Sj4lut_: thanks, that worked. Also, will this allow any user to mount/unmount them. At the moment only root can do it.
[19:38] <janisozaur> Evet: man hosts
[19:38] <otacon1221> Aaron, Unfortunately, none of the Linux firmwares will work with the router I have
[19:38] <mechtech> Evet: why would you want to assign localhost.localdomain to loopback?
[19:38] <daveletourneau> Evet: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
[19:38] <ryanakca> laclasse: Yes, I can ping A to B, but not B to A
[19:39] <coz_> Jordanmota,  you can also in terminal do   less /proc/asound/module
[19:39] <AaronT1> otacon1221: i have a router, that wont work with linux firmwares as well, its a pain
[19:39] <rioch> Sj4lut_: In fact, when I unmount them with root, my normal user cannot mount them.
[19:39] <mechtech> ryanakca: firewall on B?
[19:39] <Evet> mechtech, I'm trying to install wordpress mu on my local server. It doesnt work without localdomain
[19:39] <Sj4lut_> rioch: I think there is some command mount or something in this chan that explain how non root can do it
[19:39] <Evet> Thank you daveletourneau
[19:39] <Sj4lut_> !mount
[19:39] <daveletourneau> Evet: NP :)
[19:40] <Sj4lut_> coz_: I'm a little confused: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI Here on this page says that first I have to enable in system, hardware drivers and than reconfigure some modules for ati to enable, but I don't have any proprietary drivers in the menu...
[19:40] <ryanakca> mechtech: router in the way, and I can't forward from router->B
[19:41] <portuguesemafia> how do you change the xboot on 9.10
[19:41] <portuguesemafia> i cant see 9.04 and vista
[19:41] <Pici> !9.10 | portuguesemafia
[19:41] <mechtech> ryanakca: why can't forward from router to B?  it just won't work?
[19:41] <coz_> Sj4lut_,  well as I said   one of the other gusy in #compiz  should help and I believe soreau  just mentioned that you card is fully supported by the open drivers and fglrx is not as of a few months ago
[19:41] <otacon1221> Aaron, I'm thinking of just building a Linux server with a multi-core processor and using Quagga as the router software
[19:42] <drakeman> hey ubuntu guys!
[19:42] <Sj4lut_> coz_: I saw :
[19:42] <Sj4lut_> )
[19:42] <coz_> :)
[19:42] <mechtech> !hi | drakeman
[19:42] <ryanakca> mechtech: I don't have access to the router
[19:42] <drakeman> mechtech, hey, ubottu  hey....
[19:42] <portuguesemafia> ubottu -thanks
[19:42] <AaronT1> otacon1221: that would be better, a server might be able to distribute bandwidth better than a router
[19:42] <Jordanmota> how can I tell what motherboard I have? Terminal command would be ace =)
[19:43] <moustafaza> Anyone has any idea on how to remove PAM? I've uninstalled all of it's files but still when I try to use sudo it give me an that error "sudo: unable to initialize PAM: No such file or directory"
[19:43] <otacon1221> Yeah, and Samba allows Mac, Unix/Linux, and Windows machines to communicate with each other
[19:43] <mechtech> ryanakca: passwd issue?
[19:43] <vital_> Jordanmota, you can try "lshw"
[19:43] <coz_> Jordanmota,  yes   sudo lshw
[19:43] <Sj4lut_> !radeon
[19:44] <AaronT1> otacon1221: yeah, it would also allow you to store backups onto it aswell, which is a big plus
[19:44] <ryanakca> mechtech: No, I just can't login to it.
[19:45] <mechtech> ryanakca: trying to ride someone else's wireless?  =)
[19:45] <ryanakca> mechtech: No, work box
[19:45] <coz_> Jordanmota,  if you do  sudo lshw | more it will be easier to maneuver through the info
[19:46] <coz_> Jordanmota,   sudo lshw | more
[19:46] <janisozaur> coz_: "less" is even more useful
[19:46] <coz_> janisozaur,  ok :)
[19:46] <mechtech> ryanakca: you either need admin rights to the router, or get with your IT guys...seems to me
[19:46] <moustafaza> Anyone has any idea on how to remove PAM? I've uninstalled all of it's files but still when I try to use sudo it give me an that error "sudo: unable to initialize PAM: No such file or directory"
[19:47] <Saruji_> hey guys question, whenever I leave my computer on for a long time when I come back it runs very slow?
[19:47] <otacon1221> Aaron, yeah...The specs of the server I plan to build:  MicroATX motherboard with Intel Core2 Quad Kentsfield, 8GB DDR2 800MHz RAM, 1TB Serial ATA hard drive, Serial ATA DVD burner, and a PCI-E x4 two-port Gigabit NIC card...I'm hoping I can run NAT/Firewall, DHCP, DNS, Routing and Remote Access, and File and Print Server capabilities and use it as the gateway device
[19:47] <Saruji_> Jaunty 9.04
[19:47] <Bash_> Just bought a new external HDD, should I format it into ext2 or ext3? Any difference?
[19:47] <mechtech> moustafaza: sudo apt-get remove PAM
[19:47] <Jordanmota> Thank you - vital and coz
[19:47] <janisozaur> Bash_: ext3, maybe even ext4
[19:47] <coz_> Jordanmota,  no problem
[19:47] <Bash_> Will be used as a storage device
[19:48] <mechtech> Bash: ext3
[19:48] <Bash_> janisozaur: ext4 easy to get working in mac/windows as well?
[19:48] <otacon1221> janisozaur, would Ubuntu run on ext4?
[19:48] <janisozaur> not quite yet
[19:48] <janisozaur> otacon1221: 9.04 defaults to ext4 i think
[19:48] <Bash_> What are the advantages of ext4 vs ext3?
[19:48] <janisozaur> otacon1221: 9.10 surely will
[19:48] <AaronT1> otacon1221: ubuntu does work on ext4
[19:48] <moustafaza> mechtech, I can't do that. The error I pasted comes out when I use sudo
[19:48] <otacon1221> Ubuntu 9.04 defaults to ext3
[19:48] <janisozaur> Bash_: if you want to use ext2ifs or other such project be warned
[19:49] <Bash_> janisozaur: What's their problem?
[19:49] <janisozaur> Bash_: you have to manually set inode size to 128
[19:49] <mechtech> moustafaza: when you sudo anything?
[19:49] <Bash_> With ext4
[19:49] <Bash_> ?
[19:49] <otacon1221> Aaron, would those specs be enough to run all those server services and still be able to provide maximum bandwidth?
[19:49] <moustafaza> mechtech, when I use sudo, to uninstall a program I write "sudo apt-get remove"
[19:49] <janisozaur> Bash_: ext4 had had some... issues...
[19:49] <fizzle> hey all, i'm having some trouble with getting my Belkin FD7050 v1000 wireless card working in Jaunty. specifically, i've installed the rt73 driver but my wireless connection doesn't show up after "ifconfig -a"
[19:49] <Bash_> :P
[19:49] <janisozaur> Bash_: it used to corrupt your data
[19:49] <vital_> moustafaza, try "su" then "apt-get remove ..."
[19:49] <Bash_> So, I'll just pick ext3
[19:50] <Bash_> I don't need anything fancy really... Just something to store some music and TV shows mainly
[19:50] <moustafaza> vital_, same error
[19:50] <janisozaur> Bash_: it's best option for interop
[19:50] <Bash_> Will backup some photos there etc
[19:50] <AaronT1> otacon1221: i dont know, id ask someone else, but it should be enough,
[19:50] <vital_> moustafaza, you can run system in single user mode
[19:50] <Bash_> Mainly will be using it on OSX and linux
[19:50] <Bash_> So ext3, here I go (:
[19:51] <janisozaur> Bash_: i use ext2ifs on windows, dont know what kind of support for ext file systems you can get on mac
[19:51] <moustafaza> vital_, I don't get you.
[19:51] <Bash_> I'd guess quite ok
[19:51] <Bash_> But, we'll see soon
[19:51] <AaronT1> otacon1221: i'm on ubuntu 9.04 with ext4
[19:51] <fiber_cut> Is there anyway to take a media file such as a *.flv and turn it into your screen saver? Under KDE there was a program kdesktop I think that used to let you do it but was wonder if anything under gnome
[19:51] <moustafaza> vital_, I get an error when ever I use sudo or su
[19:51] <moustafaza> vital_, same one.
[19:51] <vital_> moustafaza, you can try reboot and take single user mode from the grub menu
[19:51] <janisozaur> Bash_: though starting with 8.10 inode size has been changed to 256 which introduces incompatibilities with readers for other OS'
[19:52] <Gruppe4> HEy
[19:52] <Gruppe4> sker her noget ??
[19:52] <moustafaza> vital_, i'll check it out. thanks
[19:52] <vital_> moustafaza, it can be named "recovery mode"
[19:52] <moustafaza> vital_, ah, ok
[19:52] <mechtech> moustafaza: yes: sudo apt-get remove <application name> to uninstall
[19:53] <janisozaur> Gruppe4: only english here, to learn what channel uses your language type "!" and your countro iso code, e.g. !pl
[19:53] <moustafaza> mechtech, the sudo command doesn't work it gives me an error whenever i try to use it
[19:53] <om26er> can any 1 help me i dont have xorg.conf file
[19:54] <AaronT1> otacon1221: (http://files.getdropbox.com/u/975026/Screenshot.png) ubuntu 9.04 on ext4
[19:54] <vital_> !ru
[19:54] <om26er>  xorg-xserver is not installed
[19:55] <mechtech> moustafaza: I think you might have hosed your authentication abilities when you removed all your PAM files...specifically /etc/pam.conf
[19:56] <moustafaza> mechtech, ya I did that but after I removed all the PAM packages.
[19:56] <mechtech> moustafaza: see here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/sag-introduction.html
[19:56] <fizzle> i'm having some trouble with getting my Belkin FD7050 v1000 wireless card working in Jaunty. specifically, i've installed the rt73 driver but my wireless connection doesn't show up after "ifconfig -a"
[19:56] <ubuntizer> ex-chat
[19:56] <moustafaza> mechtech, i'm hecking it
[19:57] <otacon1221> Aaron, when an ISP says "Data Only" what exactly do they mean?
[19:57] <mechtech> ok
[19:58] <helo> otacon1221: no voice?
[19:58] <outy> how do i open my sources.list ?
[19:58] <otacon1221> helo, I'm looking at getting internet through T-Mobile, but their Internet Only plans are data only
[19:58] <moustafaza> mechtech, I don't have a backup so I'm locked :s.
[19:58] <BellinXFelon> can someonoe help with this. My desktop says on it in kubuntu that "the process for the desktop protocol died unexpectedly."
[19:59] <vital_> outy, gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:59] <helo> outy: python -c 'f = open("/etc/apt/sources.list")'
[19:59] <ltcabral> how do i check what is my ssh server hostname?
[19:59] <mechtech> moustafaza: I'm sorry...i don't know how to help with this further
[19:59] <WindowsUser> otacon1221: so? the internet is data, so internet only would be data only, wheres the beef?
[19:59] <sigmonsays> Hello. I am fighting ubuntu scripts cause it thinks it knows what it's doing. Can I disable NetworkManager nicely?
[19:59] <pepperjack> otacon1221: if you search ubuntuforums.org for tmobile and your phone model you will probably find a walkthrough for it from someone that has gotten it working
[19:59] <moustafaza> mechtech, np
[19:59] <daveletourneau> otacon1221: Data only is what you need.
[20:00] <WindowsUser> sigmonsays: uninstall it from synaptic or try like apt-get remove NetworkManager
[20:00] <pepperjack> ltcabral: hostname command once ssh'd in
[20:00] <silentmind> hi all. I'd like to launch GVim with some command line parameters. I can do that when creating the lanuch but is there any way I can make that command appear in the 'open with' list?
[20:01] <craigwell> i just put ubuntu 9.04 in dual boot with my laptop (HP nr3610)
[20:01] <craigwell> it has a centrino processor,
[20:01] <pepperjack> sigmonsays: sudo update-rc.d -f scriptname remove  you can then add it back with a similar command
[20:01] <saml> how can I find open ports and programmings listening to them?
[20:01] <craigwell> which uses stepped processor speeds under xp
[20:01] <pepperjack> sigmonsays: or just sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/scriptname   and then +x to make it executable again
[20:01] <craigwell> is there an equivalent for ubuntu or is it already controlled dynamically by OS >?
[20:02] <WindowsUser> saml: look at nmap.org
[20:02] <saml> can i do it with netstat?
[20:02] <vital_> samitheberber, "sudo netstat -ap"
[20:02] <saml> thanks vital_
[20:02] <meteor``> i installed a software bt i cant find it anywhere
[20:02] <WindowsUser> netstat tells you whats open on the local computer, nmap is for other computers
[20:03] <pepperjack> meteor``: what app?
[20:03] <meteor``> where r the softwares installed
[20:03] <Youm> hey guys
[20:03] <Youm> I need your help
[20:03] <meteor``> trix
[20:03] <meteor``> Trix lan chat.
[20:03] <pepperjack> meteor``: the exe is installed to shared bin directories.  the libs are installed to shared lib directories the config files... etc
[20:03] <Youm> what this command does: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3127 -j DROP
[20:04] <otacon1221> The terms of the Internet Only data plan basically states I can use the internet only plan for web browsing, messaging, and similar activities but not for something that requires a continuous connection like P2P or web camera broadcasts
[20:04] <AaronT1> bye people
[20:04] <craigwell> is there an ubuntu equivalent for centrino speed stepping utilities as found in xp ?
[20:04] <Server_Side> how can i extract rar files on ubuntu?
[20:04] <mechtech> Server_Side: unrar
[20:04] <pepperjack> meteor``: it should ideally show up in the menu... try from a terminal:  pkill gnome-panel   the panel should then respawn. if it still doesnt show up try launching it from the terminal  typing trix  or Trix and hitting tab key to auto complete
[20:04] <pepperjack> !rar | Server_Side
[20:05] <pepperjack> Server_Side: basically sudo apt-get install unrar; unrar e file.rar or unrar e *.r00 for multipart files
[20:05] <otacon1221> Would chat rooms and VoIP fall under the acceptable use side of the terms?
[20:05] <maximumbob> I have two ubuntu partitions on the same machine. I want to make one so that it can't be mounted on the other, or at least be able to only be mounted read-only. But are there any measures I can do to 'hide' the partition, or at least require some trickery to get it mounted?
[20:05] <Server_Side> pepperjack: isnt it gui?
[20:06] <maximumbob> Forgot a sentence: "I know it's not possible without encryption to totally prevent it, but..."
[20:06] <pepperjack> Server_Side: yes the archive manager or whatever gui tool gnome uses once you install unrar should automatically support it too. so just double-click id think
[20:06] <daveletourneau> otacon1221: Ok, but thats the term of service. That doesn't mean that they technically prevent you of doing so. VOIP is probably one of the thing they really dont want :)
[20:06] <iceroot> maximumbob: no, only with encryption
[20:06] <Pici> otacon1221: You should ask your provider, this isn't really an Ubuntu question.
[20:07] <daveletourneau> otacon1221: not a technical question. Ask your provider
[20:07] <daveletourneau> otacon1221: but don't bother talking about VOIP ;)
[20:08] <daveletourneau> otacon1221: It will cost you a lot more to use VoIP (unless it's for inl calls
[20:08] <Pici> !offtopic
[20:08] <daveletourneau> otacon1221: intl. calls
[20:08] <otacon1221> dave, ok, here's a technical question...If I'm just using the computer for web browsing and the occasional download, would I go anywhere near 5GB/month data transfer?
[20:09] <otacon1221> I use the computer mainly for chat, web browsing, and the occasional download
[20:09] <Pici> otacon1221: This channel is only for Ubuntu support and since it is busy we ask that you take other topics elsewhere.  If you want to discuss something like that you're free to do it in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[20:10] <sachael> what is the default torrent client in the recent Ubuntus?
[20:10] <SteveHill> What is the current rev for Jaunty?  I'm still running jaunty at -11, and I don't know how to get the update.
[20:10] <antareus> is it possible to make a .deb file that contains other .deb files? the reason is no net access is available for the dependencies.

[20:10] <wrektjet> small question about unzipping... i have a 15 zip archive and when i extract it with archive manger it creates 15 seperate folders. how do i get them all to be together?
[20:11] <WTHsnoopddrm> hello everyone. I have my firefox issue again: when i type firefox in terminal, the output error is this: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 458: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!
[20:11] <ltgg> anyone familiar with XSane image scanner? ... have odd problem ... trying to scan and save multipage .PDF but pages are saved in multiple .PNM files .... whatsup???
[20:11] <WTHsnoopddrm> can anyone help me resolve this?
[20:11] <SteveHill> wrektjet: Create a new folder w/ archive mgr, then extract into that.
[20:12] <Pici> SteveHill: What package are you referring to that is at -11? The kernel?
[20:12] <SteveHill> Yes, I think that it is kernel...-11.
[20:12] <Pici> SteveHill: Well, where are you seeing -11?
[20:13] <WTHsnoopddrm> hello everyone, my firefox browser does not start in ubuntu. the error ouput in terminal is "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 458: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!" can anyone help me with this? sorry, i'm a noob at ubuntu!
[20:13] <sigmonsays> thanks WindowsUser
[20:14] <SteveHill> Pici: It is in vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic
[20:14] <wrektjet> SteveHill, do i need to extract each zip by itself
[20:14] <erythrocyte> i need to pipe the output of tar into mkisofs to generate an iso image without an intermediary .tar file...how do i do it?
[20:15] <SteveHill> wrektjet: You chouldn't have to.  Create the folder, then extract into it.
[20:15] <Nameless_au> has anyone here ever installed moodle?
[20:16] <wrektjet> SteveHill, select one file/ all files? i tried doing all (opening with archive manager) and they all opened and i tried one and only that one extracted.
[20:17] <SteveHill> erythrocyte: I can't give it all to you, but the trick is to tar it to file "-" (no quotes) and then pipe it to mkisofs.  The - sends it to stdout, I believe.
[20:17] <Pici> SteveHill: Looks like you're missing at least the jaunty-updates repository.  If you enable that and then do a dist-upgrade (or just do a dist-upgrade if you already have it enabled) and you should update to -13
[20:17] <tvuser> hi, can someone help me setting joypad?
[20:17] <meteor``> pepperjack, cant find the software.
[20:18] <WTHsnoopddrm> hello everyone, my firefox browser does not start in ubuntu. the error ouput in terminal is "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 458: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!" can anyone help me with this? sorry, i'm a noob at ubuntu!
[20:18] <meteor``> I installed a software and now I cant find it anywhere, it's not in the applications.
[20:18] <meteor``> Where can i find it?
[20:18] <SteveHill> wrektjet: You may have to select all of the buried files, and then extract.  Play with it.
[20:18] <erythrocyte> SteveHill: thanks..is there a way for me to use 7z instead of tar? i'd love the compression ...i know using 7z with the -so flag sends it to standard output, but the question is how do i pipe this into mkisofs
[20:19] <ltgg> anyone familiar with XSane image scanner? ... have odd problem ... trying to scan and save multipage .PDF but pages are saved in multiple .PNM files .... whatsup???
[20:19] <pluxii> Question, I keep setting up dual monitors, using my nvidia driver settings, and each time i reboot i have to do it all over.  does anyone know how to make this fix so that i have dual when i boot up
[20:19] <WTHsnoopddrm> now when i try it, the error is segmentation fault.
[20:19] <WTHsnoopddrm> can anyone help me please?
[20:19] <wrektjet> SteveHill, yea ok. i hope i dont have to deal with zipped files in the future much bec ive been fiddling around for a long while. mayebtheres a script or soemthing out there
[20:20] <SteveHill> erythrocyte: Not sure about 7z.  But it ought to work the same: 7z -so ... | mkisofs
[20:20] <meteor``> I installed a software and now I cant find it anywhere, it's not in the applications. Where can I find it?
[20:20] <jiohdi> meteor, did you try bin?
[20:20] <meteor``> Yes I did.
[20:21] <ZykoticK9> pluxii, run the Nvidia config with sudo then use the "save to xorg" button.
[20:21] <meteor``> There is nothing like 'Trix' thr.
[20:21] <jiohdi> did you use ctrl-h?
[20:21] <pluxii> ZykoticK9: thanks much man
[20:21] <SteveHill> wrektjet: As my wife asks, "How'd you get so smart" and I answer lots and lots of errors.  Learn from the mistakes.  If it isn't something that you'll do often, make your own scrip, or leave yourself a note.
[20:21] <genii> meteor``: Usually in places like /usr/bin /usr/sbin     and so on. If from source sometimes the path gets to be like /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin
[20:22] <pepperjack> meteor``: one sec im compiling it
[20:22] <pepperjack> meteor``: or wait you just want the path to the executable right?
[20:22] <fiver22> could anyone tell me how to play radio stream intended for WMP in Rhythmbox?
[20:22] <bool> hi there, does anyone know an easy way to find out whether a scanned page is red? (commandline)
[20:23] <meteor``> yes pepper.
[20:23] <WTHsnoopddrm> hello everyone, my firefox browser does not start in ubuntu. the error ouput in terminal is "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 458: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!" can anyone help me with this? sorry, i'm a noob at ubuntu!
[20:24] <SteveHill> meteor``: Usually it gets stored in /usr/bin. /usr/sbin or /usr/local/bin.
[20:24] <WTHsnoopddrm> now it says "segmentation fault"
[20:24] <erythrocyte> SteveHill: tar -vfc sampledir/ - | mkisofs -r -o cdimage ? is this correct?
[20:24] <pepperjack> meteor``: the executable name is just trix. open a terminal and type 'trix'
[20:24] <bountin> hello - i would like to use a small PC (HTPC) for television and for work - is it possible that ubuntu uses the grafic card in this way, that one screen is for TV with a TV UI and useable per IR and the other screen is a "common" ubuntu for work?
[20:24] <pepperjack> meteor``: which trix   <--- would tell you the actual path to the exe
[20:24] <saml> http://codepad.org/bk0tAeED  how come there are so many proccesses of same "java -jar hudson.war" ?
[20:24] <pepperjack> meteor``: should be in /usr/bin
[20:25] <Jlone> anyone here install liferay on their box by any chance?
[20:25] <meteor``> wait let me check.
[20:27] <bountin> !de
[20:27] <SteveHill> erythrocyte: Without looking at the man page for tar, it looks correct.  I can't remember if your tarball would contain sampledir/* or just *.   There is an option to make it do whichever you want.
[20:27] <pepperjack> bountin: yes this is possible.  i would suggest though you consider using a dedicated box for your tv.  for instance popcornhour is a great little product for HD video
[20:27] <meteor``> OK, its running.
[20:27] <xerebz> is this ubuntu help?
[20:27] <jrib> xerebz: yes
[20:28] <sinelaw> for anyone how has problems with ATI radeon:
[20:28] <sinelaw> http://tan-com.com/posts/technology/fix-ubuntu-904-ati-driver-issue
[20:28] <sinelaw> helped me :)
[20:28] <pepperjack> bountin: its more efficient due to power usage but very doable to setup an htpc. i just prefer a dedicated solution at the tv and then a regular computer backend connected to the frontend tv via network
[20:28] <saml> i can hit localhost:8080 but somehow, netstat -l|grep 8080 is empty
[20:29] <xerebz> can i ask why someone would use fedora over ubuntu?
[20:29] <SteveHill> meteor``: Also, run updatedb as root, then you can use locate to find any file on you (attached, too) system.
[20:29] <jrib> xerebz: try #ubuntu-offtopic for that discussion please
[20:29] <pepperjack> meteor``: guess you might need to create your own shortcut or launcher for it
[20:29] <meteor``> thanx both of you
[20:30] <SteveHill> xerebz: It's a religious issue.
[20:33] <mbrady76> I'm a new ubuntu user (old school EE guy). I am looking to install virtualization software.  What do people recommend that runs well on Ubuntu?

[20:33] <nooop> hi there. what is the default display for X on ubuntu?
[20:34] <mbeierl> mbrady76: virtualbox is fairly stable, but I'm a die-hard vmware user
[20:34] <pepperjack> ironfoot_495: hi.  i dont think youll have much luck here with that one.  id suggest /join #php
[20:35] <ironfoot_495>  pepperjack: ok thanks
[20:35] <erythrocyte> SteveHill: okey doke..thanks
[20:35] <pepperjack> nooop: not sure i understand the question. you mean the tty?  f7 or whatever?
[20:36] <nooop> i needed the display code to run metacity again.
[20:36] <nooop> to run metacity -d display
[20:36] <pepperjack> nooop: so you need to know $DISPLAY?  normally its 0:0 i think
[20:36] <nooop> okay. ill try. thank you :)
[20:36] <unkuiri> hi all
[20:37] <LordLandon> nooop: $ DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace

[20:41] <tvuser> hi, can someone help me setting joypad?
[20:45] <maximumbob> My comp already had a windows and ubuntu partition, as well as ubuntu's /boot. I installed another instance of ubuntu using the option to resize the other ubuntu partition in the installer. However, now my system boots into the new partition rather than to the first install's /boot partition.

What is the functionality of ALI 5451, and what is the functionality of Realtek AL202 in this computer?
[20:45] <maximumbob> I added to my old /boot/grub/menu.lst the new install, but how do I safely make it boot to the boot partition?

[20:50] <Antisthenes> There are a lot of times that my Ubuntu 9.04 freezes. Only the mouse is able to move but it cannot interact with the desktop. This happens usually for various reasons, like at a site with a lot o flash,  when I try open pidgin or when I choose some options on GIMP. Does anybody knows what's the matter?
[20:50] <Sebboh> Hi. I've got a semi-broken Karmic system.. I got it booted to console with an old kernel, but X doesn't work. How do I connect to wifi from the console?
[20:51] <Myrtti> !karmic
[20:51] <maximumbob> I added to my old /boot/grub/menu.lst the new install, but how do I safely make it boot to the boot partition?
[20:51] <maximumbob> oops wrong part ignore
[20:51] <JenniferB> I have a screen session that is runnin an application and I can switch to the that screen but can't stop the application as I usually can with ctrl+c .. what am I missing?
[20:51] <janisozaur> JenniferB: screen probably captures that
[20:53] <Sebboh> JenniferB, doesn't sound like a screen issue; screen doesn't capture ctrl+c.  Oh, maybe you mashed XOFF before... check the screen help for the XON/XOFF keys..  I think it's ctrl+a,a and ctrl+a,q.
[20:53] <maximumbob> My comp already had a windows and ubuntu partition, as well as ubuntu's /boot. I installed another instance of ubuntu using the option to resize the other ubuntu partition in the installer. However, now my system boots into the new partition rather than to the first install's /boot partition. I added to my old /boot/grub/menu.lst the new install, but how do I safely make it boot to the boot partition?
[20:54] <ctmjr> Sebboh: there is a karmic channel #ubuntu+1 i believe
[20:54] <trashbarg> maximumbob, you have to add your old section to the mew file
[20:54] <trashbarg> *new
[20:54] <maximumbob> trashbarg: So I can't boot to my boot partition any more?
[20:54] <parsimoniae> Sebboh: ifconfig wlan0 up, iwlist wlan0 scan, iwconfig wlan0 essid "Essid"
[20:54] <JenniferB> I killed it somehow.. not sure how exactly .. perhaps it was ctrl + q
[20:55] <maximumbob> But I'll have to add a root: directive, won't I? Since the other kernels are on a separate partition?
[20:55] <Sebboh> ctmjr, yeah asking there now. Although, I suppose that my question isn't -- ah, parsimoniae, thanks.
[20:55] <maximumbob> JenniferB: you might have hit ctrl+s? That stops everything on that terminal and ctrl+q releases.
[20:56] <Sebboh> JenniferB, yeah, what maximumbob said, but remember with screen that you might have to use ctrl+a,s and ctrl+a,q rather than just ctrl+s and ctrl+q.
[20:56] <Sebboh> (I think.)
[20:58] <trashbarg> maximumbot, as the ubuntu installer re-installed grub, grub is now using the configuration file on the new partition. so if you want to add your old partition to the boot selection, you have to add the old section to the new file on your new partition
[20:58] <maximumbob> If so, do I have to add root: directives?
[20:59] <achilles> hello, I have a shell script that must search for a keyword in a configuration file and replace the follower ?
[20:59] <Sebboh> paigeadele, ifconfig complains that I don't have a wlan0 device. But, lspci does show my wireless device. Now what?
[20:59] <YoG> hi, can anyone help me setting up joypad?
[21:00]  * maximumbob thinks Guest87038 is running an irc client as root?
[21:00] <pepperjack> Sebboh: may seem obvious but make sure if you have a switch or button on the lappy that the 'antenna' button is on
[21:00] <Sebboh> pepperjack, desktop.
[21:00] <Halitech> Sebboh, what kind of wireless card?
[21:01] <Sebboh> Halitech, lspci reports a broadcom "airforce one 54g".
[21:01] <Halitech> Sebboh, did you install the Broadcom drivers for it?
[21:01] <bruenig> mgroman: WAT UP!
[21:01] <frgtr> my sound playback does not work. what can i do
[21:02] <frgtr> rebooting seems to fix it
[21:02] <frgtr> but i refuse to reboot right now. what module should i reload
[21:02] <Halitech> frgtr, sudo /etc/init.d/asla restart might work
[21:03] <Sebboh> Halitech, nope. I have another wireless card, I'll pop that in and see if it's supported out of box. I don't have any internet access other than wifi, so, getting the right drivers will be problematic.
[21:03] <mphill> frgtr: sudo alsa force-reload
[21:03] <Halitech> frgtr, alsa not asla
[21:03] <bruenig> daedhel: hm
[21:03] <daedhel> bruenig: oh hai

[21:04] <maximumbob> trashbarg: Can I just add a root: (hd0, #) directive for the ones I'm adding to my new menu.lst?

[21:05] <Naruto_pr0> hi, how can i add a programme to programmes that dosn't need sudo to run as root???
[21:06] <trashbarg> maximumbob, i cant help you with that, as i dont use ubuntu or grub at the moment, but the menu.lst should be self explaining.
[21:06] <daedhel> Naruto_pr0: you cant
[21:06] <maximumbob> trashbarg: I'm trying it. I added my old entries with an added 'root (hd0,1)' which seems logical, rebooting now
[21:06] <bruenig> Naruto_pr0: explain again
[21:07] <maximumbob> trashbarg: worked! thanks for reply
[21:07] <matreya6> I want a homepartitiion with a filesystem that stores both the creation date and the last edited date. Which filesystem should I use?
[21:07] <trashbarg> maximumbob, glad it worked
[21:08] <Naruto_pr0> well, sudo wvdial well run wvdial as root : can i do some thing to run it as root without sudo ??
[21:08] <novato_br> look that http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/28/linux-foundation-launches-branded-credit-card-yes-it-features-tux/
[21:08] <maximumbob> it's silly that the installer didn't fix that. It's very convenient to resize and install, but that would have been a damning breakage for a newbie
[21:08] <bruenig> Naruto_pr0: you can be root and run programs as root
[21:08] <bruenig> Naruto_pr0: otherwise no
[21:09] <ubuntu-usr>  i think that i installed nvidia driver in ubuntu but i`m not sure is everything fine. how to check it?
[21:09] <bruenig> Naruto_pr0: you can set it up to where when you use sudo on that application, it doesn't prompt you for a password
[21:09] <daedhel> Naruto_pr0: try "sudo su"
[21:09] <MT-> How do I figure out what the name of a window is?
[21:10] <bruenig> daedhel: SUDO -S ACTUALLY

[21:10] <daedhel> MT-: np
[21:10] <Joe-needs-help> Hi how do i make my laptop an external hdd over wifi ?

[21:11] <bruenig> Joe-needs-help: well read it more closely, that is what you are looking for
[21:12] <saml> how can I find out which package i need to install to have libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 ?
[21:12] <Joe-needs-help> bruenig- cogain please ill have a close look and tell you where i get
[21:12] <bruenig> !apt-file | saml
[21:12] <saml> bruenig, thank you
[21:12] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, how did you installed the driver?
[21:13] <ubuntu-usr> manually
[21:13] <sailingboarder> are there any packages that come with ubuntu desktop, but not server, that have wireless drivers?
[21:13] <ubuntu-usr> using nvidia installer
[21:14] <nonsleep_> use ndiswrapper
[21:14] <jiohdi> sailing, my wireless laptop worked just fine with ubuntu
[21:14] <max1> hello
[21:14] <Myrtti> sailingboarder: might be that linux-restricted-modules-common doesn't come with server one
[21:14] <sailingboarder> my laptop worked fine before when it had desktop installed(back in the dapper days), but i just installed server and wireless does not work
[21:14] <yamishi> hi all
[21:14] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, ubuntu provides a simple graphical tool to install the driver, its recommend to use it. you have to execute nvidia-xconfig as root if you are using the official installer.
[21:15] <yamishi> can someone help me a little with gnump3d configuration?
[21:15] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: i haven`t it
[21:16] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: i couldn`t find it using synaptic
[21:16] <daedhel> Joe-needs-help: search for samba
[21:17] <Joe-needs-help> is it possible to make a laptop an external hdd via wifi? if so how ?
[21:17] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, if you installed the official driver (NVIDIA-blahblah.run), and anything worked fine, you will have this tool already installed. just type sudo nvidia-xconfig
[21:17] <TigerCR1200> I am trying to make an audio cd from MP3s using Brasero. When I try to select a MP3 it tells me ""mp3 file name" is not suitable for audio or video media." Any ideas why?
[21:17] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found
[21:18] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, so it seems the driver is not installed.
[21:18] <trashbarg> !nvidia
[21:18] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: strange but installer finished successfully
[21:19] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200- what file name are you putting ?
[21:19] <sailingboarder> using cli, how can i find my wireless card?
[21:19] <cysn0rk> hi, I've tried to install ubuntu-server from an usb-stick to my server which has no cd-rom drive - it's booting up and I'm able to start the installation, but before it starts copying the files it says no cd-rom drive found and stops the installation. anyone got an idea?
[21:19] <sailingboarder> lspci doesn't find it
[21:19] <trashbarg> maybe its the wrong name, whats telling the shell if you type nv and press tab?
[21:19] <cysn0rk> its ubuntu server 8.04 btw
[21:19] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - what filename are you putting ?
[21:20] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/235410/
[21:20] <TigerCR1200> Joe-needs-help, "01-tito_el_bambino-el_amor.mp3"
[21:20] <ubuntu-usr> it's xorg file
[21:21] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, its the standard xorg.conf, its not set up for the nvidia driver
[21:21] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - without the quotes obviously, try taking out the underscores and dashes (_-) i know this seems pretty weird but try it and tell me how it goes...
[21:21] <TigerCR1200> ok hang tight
[21:21] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, you may just look at System->Administration->Hardwre Drivers
[21:21] <ubuntu-usr> nop
[21:22] <ubuntu-usr> too old card
[21:22] <MT-> !info terminator
[21:22] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - rename it with something that you would recognise it by
[21:22] <DaffyDuck_> Could someone with a working wlan0 (using dhcp), which is manually configured with /etc/network/interfaces, pastebin their interfaces-file? I can't figure out the file's syntax. (PS. Remember to remove your key first!)
[21:22] <ubuntu-usr> it`s log http://paste.ubuntu.com/235411/
[21:23] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, try to install nvidia-glx-legacy via synaptic or apt-get
[21:23] <TigerCR1200> Joe-needs-help, same result with file name "01.mp3"
[21:23] <jiohdi> is there any reason to use kde over gnome in ubuntu?
[21:23] <veggteppe> Anyone that knows why my mic wont work?
[21:23] <sailingboarder> what commands are there to detect a wireless card?
[21:24] <Joe-needs-help> veggteppe - what mic is it ? like usb or just a simple mic ?
[21:24] <jra> sailingboarder: lspci / iwconfig
[21:24] <veggteppe> Got the brand new steelseries one. Like, not usb, but a plug xD
[21:24] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - try calling it something with just letters for example "filename.mp3"
[21:24] <jra> ...or lsusb, if it's a stick
[21:25] <danbhfive> jiohdi: I believe they are fairly different.  The choice is personal preference though
[21:25] <Joe-needs-help> veggteppe - it may not be compatible google your mic's name and then see if its compatible
[21:25] <TigerCR1200> Joe-needs-help, simpletext.mp3 fails same way
[21:26] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - hmm.. not sure what to suggest give me a minute
[21:26] <trayzz> hello world
[21:26] <veggteppe> Can't seem to find any answers to it. But isn't it some sort of code i can type in to fix it or somet? xD
[21:26] <mechtech> is there  a torrent server?
[21:26] <mechtech> torrent topic
[21:27] <dbugger> Hi guys!
[21:27] <danbhfive> !torrent | mechtech
[21:27] <TigerCR1200> Joe-needs-help, fyi I can play the mp3 its not a codec issue that I have been able to find out.
[21:27] <mechtech> !hi | dbugger
[21:27] <syntax> sup mec
[21:27] <danbhfive> mechtech: oops, guess that doesnt have it listed
[21:27] <Kasuko> fixed it
[21:28] <mechtech> danbhfive: I was confused too. LOL
[21:28] <danbhfive> !torrents | mechtech
[21:28] <pepperjack> veggteppe: first thing to check is just the mute and volume levels.  so you can do this in the gui but just open a terminal and type alsamixer
[21:28] <trayzz> is there anyone who got some time to help me fix my autostart?
[21:28] <mechtech> syntax: hey
[21:28] <trayzz> i kinda messed it up a little
[21:28] <veggteppe> did alsamixer earlyer, couldn't even see a mic tab =(
[21:28] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - remind me, are you trying to burn the files to a cd ?
[21:28] <TigerCR1200> yes
[21:29] <Trijntje> trayzz: If you tell what you problem is, people will know if they can help you
[21:29] <pepperjack> veggteppe: open it once more and hit like f4 to go to 'capture' if you look along the top in alsamixer there is a playback, capture and all page you can navigate to
[21:30] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - okay, in a terminal type sudo apt-get install k3b
[21:30] <trayzz> Trijntje: i got some progs that startup (skype, pidgin, yakuake rolled out, nautilus) but aren't listed in startup programs
[21:30] <veggteppe> pepperjack: All are on capture , or somet:P
[21:31] <trayzz> so i wanted to know if there's a different way of checking which programs are on autostart
[21:31] <TigerCR1200> haha Joe-needs-help what are the dependencies on k3b? Its qt based right? Thats alot of install for a burner. Hang on I am checking something.
[21:31] <Trijntje> trayzz: these programs start when you login but you didnt add them to autostart?
[21:31] <veggteppe> Pepperjack: Looking at "Input source [Mic]", and theres nothing there it seems.
[21:31] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - k3b is another burning tool, its simple to use and can be found under apps
[21:31] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - once installed of course ;) =P
[21:31] <trayzz> Trijntje: yep
[21:31] <veggteppe> All working. Thanks for help :)
[21:32] <TigerCR1200> Joe-needs-help, I know what it is
[21:32] <trayzz> Trijntje: i added a file to start conky with 10 seconds delay
[21:32] <Trijntje> trayzz: you should go to startup aplications, and then to 'options'. There is a box you can click on to remember all running applications when you shutdown
[21:32] <trayzz> which didnt work btw
[21:32] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - ahh good sorry i couldnt help, what was your problem so if it happens to me i know how to avoid ;P
[21:32] <trayzz> Trijntje: that's it
[21:33] <trayzz> thanks a lot
[21:33] <trayzz> one more thing
[21:33] <Trijntje> trayzz: no problem. Did you make that program for conky executable?
[21:33] <TigerCR1200> Joe-needs-help, it was a codec issue after all. I was able to play the file but not burn it. I just had to install ubuntu-restricted-extras it is now going to attempt to burn with orginial file names.
[21:33] <trayzz> how do i do that?
[21:33] <YoG> hi, is the gameport broken in jaunty?
[21:33] <Ubuntufan--> hi guys i cannot copy files on an external drive what am i doing wrong?
[21:33] <trayzz> Trijntje: how do i do that?
[21:33] <Trijntje> trayzz: chmod 755 program
[21:33] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: it seems i will never install my card.instalation by synaptic or envy was failed, hardware manager can`t detect my card
[21:34] <Trijntje> trayzz: in a terminal that is ofc
[21:34] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: what i shoul do? my card is geforce 2 pro
[21:34] <trayzz> Trijntje: ok one sec
[21:34] <Ubuntufan--> hi guys i cannot copy files on an external drive what am i doing wrong?
[21:34] <Joe-needs-help> TigerCR1200 - ahh okay, usually it is a codec issue at least its sorted now
[21:34] <Joe-needs-help> Ubuntufan - is your external hdd being reconized ?
[21:34] <Ubuntufan--> hi guys i cannot copy files on an external harddisc what am i doing wrong?
[21:35] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, at first you can try the drivers from the ubuntu repository by typing sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy
[21:35] <Ubuntufan--> Joe-needs-help: yes
[21:35] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, this driver should work for your card
[21:35] <TigerCR1200> Joe-needs-help, I know first thing I tried was to try and play the file but it gave me noise
[21:35] <binarymutant> what channel would be best to ask about packages.ubuntu.com?
[21:35] <Joe-needs-help> Ubuntufan - so run me through whats happening your attempting to put files onto the hdd what happens ?
[21:36] <kermos> Ubuntufan--: So what's the error? what exactly is happening? Just saying 'I can't copy' is like telling me 'My car is broken' and expecting me to fix it without seeing it.
[21:36] <lilcoconut> hi everyone
[21:36] <Joe-needs-help> kermos - lol exactly what i said :p
[21:36] <lilcoconut> does ubuntu have an antivirus system??
[21:36] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: will not. the problem makes xserver
[21:37] <Joe-needs-help> lilcoconut - ubuntu does have antivirus system in add/remove but rarely will you get a virus
[21:37] <kermos> lilcoconut: there is clamav but unless you're like running a mail server for windows users, it's rather pointless
[21:37] <Trijntje> !antivirus|lilcoconut
[21:37] <Ubuntufan--> kermos: i formated the external harddisc and i formated it to ext3 but i cannot get the permission to copy files on it dont know why
[21:38] <arand> lilcoconut: Ubuntu without antivirus is, in practice, about as safe as windows _with_ good antivirus, if not safer
[21:38] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: xserver 1.6 in ubuntu 9.04 is not compatible with nvidia's legacy driver
[21:38] <riyazd> hi I'm new to ubuntu and can't seem to get my belkin wireless card working, FD8010 - any suggestions
[21:38] <trayzz> Trijntje: i created a file called .conky_start.sh containing the command "
[21:38] <trayzz> #!/bin/bash
[21:38] <trayzz> sleep 10 && conky;"
[21:38] <kermos> Ubuntufan--: sudo chown username:group -R /media/extdrive
[21:38] <kermos> where username obviously is your username
[21:38] <lilcoconut> so there isnt any antivirus program? and why dont i need any?
[21:38] <kermos> group obviously is the group your username is in (usually the same on a standard install as your username)
[21:39] <Ubuntufan--> kermos: ok thanks trying that
[21:39] <danbhfive> lilcoconut: there is info about that on the linked page
[21:39] <kermos> and /media/extdrive the path to your mounted drive
[21:39] <albano> Lol the virus maybe cannot find dependencies on your pc
[21:39] <jiohdi> lilcoconut, there is rootkit hunter
[21:39] <Trijntje> trayzz: i think that should work
[21:39] <Joe-needs-help> lilcoconut - there is an antivirus system but only if your transferring files from windows or downloading off illegal things but YOU DO NOT NEED ANTIVIRUS
[21:39] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, i cant check that as i dont use ubuntu, but if there is a package, it should be compatible?
[21:39] <jiohdi> which claims that it will get 99% of all problems
[21:40] <trayzz> Trijntje: should i add it to my startup apps as well?
[21:40] <Joe-needs-help> LILCOCONUT - YOUD HAVE TO BE STUPID TO GET A VIRUS ON UBUNTU
[21:40] <Joe-needs-help> sorry for caps btw
[21:40] <lilcoconut> oh ok.. lol..thx.. good to know that :D
[21:40] <Trijntje> trayzz: yes
[21:40] <lilcoconut> thx everyone.. bye
[21:40] <ubuntu-usr> how to downgrade xserver in ubuntu? the goal is to install legacy nvidia driver
[21:40] <jiohdi> there is a site claiming that viruses for linux are out there... but they are not as bad as windows
[21:41] <trayzz> Trijntje: is the command "/home/trayzz/.conky_start.sh" correct to start it up?
[21:41] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: which one package?
[21:42] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, can you list each nvidia packages?
[21:42] <Trijntje> trayzz: yes, or you can use ~/.conky_start.sh. ~ means /home/trayzz
[21:42] <JRSmile> good evening
[21:42] <Joe-needs-help> jiohdi - you can get viruses but you have to create them yourself and most viruses on windows are caused by stupid programs and with ubuntu all programs come from add/remove
[21:42] <trayzz> Trijntje: like this: "~/.conky_start.sh. ~" ?
[21:42] <trayzz> Trijntje: wait wait
[21:43] <nisstyre> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Threats
[21:43] <trayzz> Trijntje: i got it
[21:43] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg:  yes but i don`t know commands very well
[21:43] <trayzz> Trijntje: i'll give it a shot, be right back
[21:43] <Trijntje> trayzz: ok, good
[21:43] <kermos> nisstyre: that is one huge list. I think windows has that many new threats introduced hourly.
[21:43] <aklaax> gg
[21:43] <Coobra> do fail2ban has a port or do it listen just to the service "ssh" ?
[21:44] <JRSmile> ubuntu is nice currently online via umts in a car sponsored by a samsung nc10 and live ubuntu...
[21:44] <mechtech> Joe-needs-help: what do you mean, you have to make viruses yourself?
[21:44] <Joe-needs-help> mechtech - you can create a virus yourself and then obviously distribute it
[21:44] <albano> virus maybe shoud know your pasw to be active. because is dificult to do things without root
[21:45] <nisstyre> the trick is getting people to execute code
[21:45] <Joe-needs-help> there are ways of creating viruses but you have to be a *beep* to do so
[21:45] <nisstyre> Don't execute code from people you don't trust
[21:45] <Tophu> if I'm running ubuntu 9.04 is it a bad idea to try to update my kernel to 2.6.30?
[21:45] <mechtech> joe-needs-help: I knew that, I thought you meant in order to get infected you would have to make one yourself =)
[21:45] <Purpley> hey guys
[21:45] <Coobra> is there a fail2ban dude/girl here
[21:45] <Purpley> Does anyone know of a program that scans proxies and makes sure they are anonymous
[21:46] <Joe-needs-help> mechtech - ahh i get you, yeah another way is like if i gave you a terminal code that was a virus not going to do it like because well im not a *beep*
[21:46] <mechtech> albano: I would think a virus like that would have the cpapbility of capturing your usernames and passwds and using them
[21:46] <Tophu> anyone here have a touchsmart tx2 or other n-trig equipped tablet?
[21:46] <aklaax> hello. How can find channels in spanish
[21:47] <aklaax> helpme please
[21:47] <mechtech> Joe-needs-help: I get you
[21:47] <Purpley> Does anyone know of a program that scans proxies and makes sure they are anonymous
[21:47] <mechtech> !spanish | aklaax
[21:47] <JRSmile> re
[21:47] <aklaax> gracias ubottu
[21:47] <XZc> Whats a good operating system to put on a old laptop with 128mb of ram?
[21:47] <Purpley> does anyone?
[21:47] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, how do you know its not compatible? you have to add the restricted repositories and search for nvidia (synaptic). I cant tell you how to do that, but the menus should be self explaining
[21:47] <safruhani> !iso
[21:47] <Purpley> DSL
[21:47] <JRSmile> linux
[21:48] <Purpley> Damn small linux
[21:48] <mechtech> XZc: tiny linux
[21:48] <trayzz> it didn't work
[21:48] <Purpley> argh
[21:48] <XZc> i heard puppy was good?
[21:48] <Purpley> someone answer my question!
[21:48] <Purpley> Does anyone know of a program that scans proxies and makes sure they are anonymous
[21:48] <Joe-needs-help> XZc - tiny linux and possibly xp H.E
[21:48] <mechtech> XZc: give it a try
[21:48] <trayzz> and skype, pidgin + nautlius are still opening even though i removed the check in startup apps
[21:48] <JRSmile> NO
[21:48] <xover> hey guys, i am trying to install 9.04 on a macbook pro and getting an error message "grub-install fatal error" whats the solution please?
[21:48] <Joe-needs-help> purpley - google it
[21:49] <mechtech> xover: what type of proc?
[21:49] <juvic> ei
[21:49] <Purpley> Joe-needs-help, dont you think i tried?
[21:49] <juvic> i havving a problem
[21:49] <XZc> thanks mechteck
[21:49] <mechtech> xover: nevermind that
[21:49] <juvic> i need help
[21:49] <Tophu> @purpley google it ... that is not really an ubuntu related question
[21:49] <ubuntu-usr> trashbarg: how to do list it?
[21:49] <iceroot> !ask | juvic
[21:49] <testing234234> where can i get the latest developementrelease of ubuntu?
[21:49] <Joe-needs-help> purpley - as tophu said
[21:50] <Tophu> @testing google ubuntu 9.10 alpha 3 download
[21:50] <Joe-needs-help> testingblahblahblah - ubuntu's webpage
[21:50] <juvic> how can i insstall the adbo flash cs3
[21:50] <Tophu> but it's a bad idea
[21:50] <testing234234> k
[21:50] <trashbarg> ubuntu-usr, you add the restricted repositories and then open synaptic, search for nvidia and post the results
[21:50] <Joe-needs-help> juvic - wine ?
[21:50] <testing234234> thx
[21:50] <iceroot> !wine | juvic
[21:50] <vital_> Purpley, may be proxychains?
[21:50] <trashbarg> !multiverse
[21:50] <juvic> yap i have wine
[21:50] <Joe-needs-help> juvic - try it through wine
[21:50] <juvic> i have to install this in wine
[21:51] <juvic> sh winetricks gecko gdiplus msxml3
[21:51] <trayzz> is there any other way of displaying/changing autostart apps than in the the gtk under system?
[21:51] <trashbarg> !multiverse > ubuntu-usr
[21:51] <juvic> but it's not openning the setup
[21:51] <xover> mechtech: any ideas?
[21:51] <Joe-needs-help> juvic - i'm sorry i cannot help you im not frequent with wine
[21:51] <Joe-needs-help> xover - what was your problem again ?
[21:52] <xover> hey guys, i am trying to install 9.04 on a macbook pro and getting an error message "grub-install fatal error" whats the solution please?
[21:52] <dbugger> Can someone help me to configure LyX to use DocBook? Im writing the documentation for an application I've developed and I dont see any Document class that's useful in the default set
[21:52] <Joe-needs-help> xover - give me a sec
[21:52] <xover> basically the install dies on trying to install grub to the MBR
[21:52] <trayzz> i mean there must be a different way of checking what apps are on startup right?
[21:52] <mechtech> xover: yeah...maybe you still have hfs+ on the drive?
[21:52] <xover> its a new drive
[21:53] <mechtech> xover: partitioned?
[21:53] <xover> no
[21:53] <xover> when i ran the install i choose lvm using full disk
[21:53] <Tophu> anyone have an n-trig touch laptop? I've been reading the threads on ubuntuforums.org trying to get my touchsmart tx2's touch input working
[21:53] <mechtech> xover: partition the drive first...must be partitioned, you'll need ext3 and a swap partition
[21:54] <xover> im using the alternative install and choosing auto layout
[21:54] <xover> with encrpytion and and lvm using entire disk
[21:54] <xover> then it installs ubuntu and finally dies saying fatal error cant install-grub
[21:55] <vital_> juvic, try to find the answer here http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7120
[21:55] <Joe-needs-help> xover - the first step is to set a freeBSD kernel variable; sysct1 kern.geom.debugflags=16
[21:55] <juvic> ok tnx
[21:55] <juvic> w8
[21:55] <mechtech> xover: perhaps the encryption is preventing GRUB from installing correctly to the MBR
[21:55] <VCoolio> trayzz: check under ~/.config/autostart
[21:55] <xover> mechtech i tried all variations and no cigar
[21:55] <erika-chan> hi
[21:56] <xover> joe, how do i do this?
[21:56] <erika-chan> i need some help
[21:56] <Joe-needs-help> xover - the first step is to set a freeBSD kernel variable; sysct1 kern.geom.debugflags=16
[21:56] <mechtech> xover: see joe-needs-help's post
[21:56] <erika-chan> i can't connect by wlan
[21:56] <Joe-needs-help> xover - pm me
[21:56] <BigMao> Hi, I'm a longtime Ubuntu user.  My workstation has 4 monitors (2 graphics cards), and when one of them blew out, I upgraded to dual NVidia 9550GT (I had dual NVidia 7300 before).  Now I can't use anything but the VESA driver - hrelp?
[21:56] <RenardP> hello, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and I want to upgrade my partitions from ext3 to ext4, do you think it is safe ?
[21:57] <mechtech> erika-chan: iwconfig
[21:57] <iceroot> RenardP: never touch a running system :)
[21:57] <erika-chan> ok
[21:57] <VCoolio> trayzz: also /etc/xdg/autostart, the apps listed there will start at startup unless you copy them to the user folder and change the autostart line inside them to false
[21:57] <CRASHED> if i could get some help here, i installed and setup vnstat and the vnstat web interface so i could get logs of traffic on my site.

[21:57] <CRASHED> it was working fine for a few hours until i rebooted the server, and now i can't seem to get vnstat to update the logs
[21:58] <Shinoda> Saaaaaalve!!!!
[21:58] <BigMao> I've already tried installing the restricted drivers, and using Envy, and building kernel modules with the newest NVidia driver.  I tried both the latest Ubuntu driver (180) and the legacy (173).  Nothing works
[21:58] <CRASHED> and when i run 'vnstat' i get this in the message: "eth0 [disabled]"
[21:58] <CRASHED> how would i re-enable eth0?
[21:58] <RenardP> iceroot:I've read on the net it is faster then ext3
[21:58] <iceroot> RenardP: hm, dont know. ext3 is fine and stable
[21:58] <pepperjack> BigMao: anything similar showing up in the forums?
[21:58] <jonex_> how I install desktop wallpaper?
[21:59] <iceroot> jonex_: right click on desktop, then choose changing background
[21:59] <CRASHED> could anyone help me get vnstat working again?
[21:59] <jiohdi> jonex, easiest is to web browse to a picture you like and back click it
[21:59] <iceroot> jonex_: then choose a image
[21:59] <erika-chan> ok iwconfig there ---------------> http://paste.ubuntu.com/235429/
[21:59] <BigMao> pepperjack, the solutions I've found in the forums all point to "Envy", I've tried it and it doesn't seem to help.
[21:59] <coyo> anyone know who to talk to about the repos and software updates? or do i roll my own package?
[21:59] <jiohdi> jonex, you will get an option to set as wall paper
[22:00] <coyo> i was hoping to get the latest version of supybot, which isnt in the repos
[22:00] <coyo> thanks
[22:00] <vital_> erika-chan, do you see networks with "iwlist wlan0 scan"?
[22:00] <jonex_> iceroot: but theres is a downloa dthat have more
[22:01] <BigMao> Any suggestions? Should I try with only one card?
[22:01] <erika-chan> no i dont
[22:02] <erika-chan> maybe here there's not any net
[22:02] <am0k0815> is there a virus checker in the package source ?
[22:02] <vigo> am0k0815: Yes, there are a few
[22:02] <erUSUL> !info clamav
[22:02] <mechtech> erika_chan: based on your previous posts, the power to your wireless card seems to be off
[22:02] <vital_> erika-chan, it is possible cause :-)
[22:03] <drakeman> hey man, didnt try ubuntu jaunty jet but the videos on youtube and screnthos looks very very nice, actually im using debian, but ubuntu looks great!!!
[22:03] <jonex_> any Broadcom wireless expert?
[22:03] <iceroot> am0k0815: you only need a virus-scanner to check mails on a mailserver and samba-shares. so only for windows clients. for linux you dont need a virus-scanner
[22:03] <iceroot> !wifi | jonex_
[22:03] <vigo> Thank you erUSUL
[22:03] <erika-chan> i hope so :D
[22:03] <erika-chan> i gonna go to college to c if i get any network
[22:03] <vigo> and iceroot
[22:03] <vital_> erika-chan, at least may be you don't have a net with enough signal level
[22:04] <vital_> you can use iwlist command to scan networks
[22:04] <jonex_> the problem is
[22:04] <kapu> can someone point me to a recent tutorial/guide for accessing mysql from perl? Everything I find on Google seems outdated and dosn't work for me. I am having a hard time making a perl script to access mysql on Ubuntu server
[22:04] <helo> my hp mini has a marvell 88E8040 pci-e ethernet controller, which works fine with the live thumb drive, but doesn't work on my jaunty-upgraded-from-intrepid install on-disk...
[22:04] <jonex_> my wireless only works for Ubuntu stuf
[22:04] <iceroot> kapu: maybe #perl ?
[22:04] <magnetron> hi, is ubuntu using any TCP wrapper by default?
[22:05] <xim_> whats the difference between sunjdk and openjdk?  can they both be installed simultaneously?
[22:05] <iceroot> xim_: the licence
[22:05] <erika-chan> i live in a place where wifi networks arent so popular
[22:06] <Joe-needs-help> does anyone know how to map a laptop to become a wireless external hdd over a wifi connection ?
[22:06] <iceroot> xim_: you only need one
[22:06] <iceroot> xim_: but yes, you can install both
[22:06] <xim_> iceroot: ok thanks
[22:06] <Joe-needs-help> does anyone know how to map a laptop to become a wireless external hdd over a wifi connection ?
[22:06] <mezquitale> Joe-needs-help,  you mean you want to share your hard drive wirelessly?
[22:06] <HardDisk> fn'erika-chan, the zoo?
[22:07] <parsimoniae> joe-needs-help: look into openssl
[22:07] <vital_> erika-chan, you can try "kismet" app to get maximum info about wireless packets around you
[22:07] <parsimoniae> and sshfs
[22:07] <Joe-needs-help> mexquitale - yeah
[22:07] <guereca> hello
[22:07] <iceroot> guereca: hi
[22:07] <erika-chan> oh cool
[22:07] <Joe-needs-help> mezqitale - yeah (sorry spelt your name wrong)
[22:07] <pepperjack> Joe-needs-help: easiest solution might be to run ssh server on the lappy and then use sshfs to mount it to a directory
[22:07] <erika-chan> lol
[22:07] <erika-chan> let's say a farm
[22:08] <guereca> ihow u doing iceroot
[22:08] <Joe-needs-help> pepperjack - cheers ill give it a shot and tell you how i do
[22:08] <parsimoniae> joe-needs-help: or samba if you need access over a windows box, though there is a program for sshfs in windows too
[22:08] <mezquitale> Joe-needs-help, what operating system you have in your laptop and what  Operatin Systems the machines have that will access your laptop???
[22:08] <mechtech> erika_chan:
           Power Management:off
[22:08] <pepperjack> erika-chan: you need an old sat dish then you can replace the lnb with your antenna. get some range out of that setup
[22:08] <erika-chan> rofl
[22:09] <Joe-needs-help> mezquitale - the lappy i want to map is on ubuntu 9.04 and the laptop i want to access all my stuff on the other lappy is on ubuntu studio
[22:09] <erika-chan> im not that far away lol
[22:09] <erika-chan> i got internet but i wanna put a wifi router
[22:09] <parsimoniae> joe-needs-help: sshfs will work
[22:10] <Joe-needs-help> could i just sudo that ?
[22:10] <Joe-needs-help> so like sudo apt-get install sshfs ?
[22:10] <mechtech> erika-chan: I recommend either a linksys 802.11n or an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
[22:10] <erika-chan> oh thank you
[22:10] <mezquitale> Joe-needs-help,  you already got the answer, easiest way is to have SSH server.  I have the same setup except the other way around.  All my files are in my Desktop.  The SSH server is on my desktop and I use unison to synchronize my files, I can do it anywhere, locally or on the internet.
[22:10] <LexLuth0r> Have a WinXP which has putty installed, I have logged onto my Ubuntu PC, is it possible to transfer a folder from my Windows PC to Ubuntu via SSH
[22:10] <erika-chan> i was thinking in linksys
[22:11] <parsimoniae> sudo apt-get install openssl
[22:11] <pepperjack> Joe-needs-help: sshfs user@ipaddress:/remotedirectory /mnt/sshfs   <-- that might not be exactly right. there is also an allow_other switch you can use for normal users to use it
[22:11] <parsimoniae> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS
[22:11] <magnetron> LexLuth0r: yes, all you need is a SFTP program. example: WinSCP
[22:11] <Trijntje> is 64 bit ubuntu as stable as 32 bits? or are there programs that don't function
[22:11] <LexLuth0r> Do I install this on my XP PC
[22:11] <parsimoniae> gnomes connect to server works well
[22:11] <mechtech> erika-chan: the Aplle has the same capabilities, plus you can share USB print or USB hdd on it, and it's $20 cheaper
[22:12] <guereca> The only problem I found in Ubuntu is Java.
[22:12] <trayzz> what's the command to open a directory?
[22:12] <pepperjack> Trijntje: both are very stable. there are minor things you might encounter in 64 bit. for instance adobe flash is still in alpha or beta stuff like that
[22:12] <albdum> hello can some1 help me with a hard disk that doesn't mount on my ubuntu server ?
[22:12] <erika-chan> but here at my place is more expensive
[22:12] <guereca> Some applet will not work
[22:12] <mechtech> trayzz: cd/directoryname, then ls to view contents
[22:12] <parsimoniae> trayzz: cd
[22:12] <mezquitale> Trijntje, I've had serious issues with jaunty, i use intrepid in my 64 bit desktop
[22:12] <cwill> hey guys I'm new so forgive me. I Know Sqwat. my question is this.....
[22:13] <albdum> mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist
[22:13] <albdum>  some1 knows anything about it ?
[22:13] <mechtech> erika-chan: either would be excellent...I bought my Apple at the Apple Store
[22:13] <pepperjack> albdum: removable HD?
[22:13] <mechtech> !ask | cwill
[22:13] <albdum> no peper jack :(
[22:13] <cwill> i dual boot (installed within xp) how do i find the xp document files
[22:13] <cwill> i did not partition
[22:13] <pepperjack> albdum: well that isnt good.  what does sudo fdisk -l say?  (dont paste in the channel of course)
[22:14] <vital_> LexLuth0r, putty should include PSCP - command line file copying utility http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter5.html#pscp
[22:14] <mezquitale> albdum,  try "sudo blkid"
[22:14] <jiohdi> cwill, you will find a drive labelled with your xp machine name
[22:14] <trayzz> the strange thing is
[22:14] <mechtech> cwill: linux will not run off a drive with no linux partition
[22:14] <trayzz> it contains these files
[22:14] <trayzz> trayzz@tray:~/.config/autostart$ ls
[22:14] <trayzz> bluetooth-applet.desktop  conky&.desktop  dropbox.desktop  evolution-alarm-notify.desktop  libcanberra-login-sound.desktop  yakuake.desktop
[22:14] <cwill> in places right?
[22:14] <erika-chan> well guys gtg cya laterz xxoxxo
[22:14] <erika-chan> ty for everything
[22:14] <trayzz> but skype pidgin nautilus etc still start
[22:14] <maqjj> ola
[22:15] <drakeman> ola
[22:15] <jiohdi> cwill, open any drive folder and you can find it down the list under computer
[22:15] <trayzz> even though they are neither in startup apps folder nor in the system-preferences-autostart thing
[22:15] <jiohdi> if its there
[22:15] <trayzz> that just doesnt make sense to me
[22:15] <mezquitale> albdum,  try "sudo blkid"
[22:16] <albdum> the problem is on 2 of my 4 sata disks
[22:16] <albdum> that i have connected to the pc through a pci-sata
[22:16] <Void> why client ubuntuone no connect?
[22:16] <albdum> they mount on desktop ubuntu but not on server ubuntu
[22:17] <CRASHED> anyone know any nice cpu and bandwidth monitoring tools?
[22:17] <cwill> sorry jiohdi not seeing it...
[22:17] <VCoolio> trayzz: there is an option at startup apps to remember opened apps on shutdown. Enable that, close all apps, especially pidgin etc, reboot, check if it helps. Don't forget to disable the option again.
[22:17] <mechtech> crashed: system monitor
[22:17] <trayzz> alright so i've checked that, automaticly remember... is unchecked, skype pidgin and nautilus are not in any of the startup directories (/etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart) but they still start at startup
[22:17] <mezquitale> CRASHED, try "System Monitor"
[22:18] <mezquitale> mechtech beat me to it LoL
[22:18] <mechtech> ha!
[22:18] <trayzz> VCoolio: so i should shut them all down once before reboot?
[22:19] <VCoolio> trayzz: yeah, just make sure no apps run anymore and reboot with that option checked, so it remembers that nothing was running
[22:19] <xiong> i attempt to delete an empty folder in evolution -- the error is 'cannot delete folder "adeleteme"' -- what is the solution?
[22:19] <CRASHED> mechtech, im looking for one with a web interface
[22:19] <hanasaki> anyone remember the name of the program that makes you enter the root password to "reboot" if you are ssh'ed to a remote box?
[22:19] <trayzz> VCoolio: oh, that makes sense
[22:20] <cwill> All that i see there is associated with ubuntu
[22:20] <vital_> hanasaki, "sudo" "su" ?
[22:20] <msds1502> How can I remove The GRUB loader from boot and go straight into the Vista loader?
[22:20] <mechtech> crashed: oh...ok
[22:21] <hanasaki> vital_:  nope... that I know... this is a program that only kicks in (even for root) ify ou type reboot and are on a remote computer only
[22:21] <losher> !grub | msds1502
[22:21] <CRASHED> mechtech, for example i got vnstat with php interface running. its nice but im hoping to find one that logs cpu, ram, disk space, etc
[22:21] <CRASHED> http://crashedco.com/log
[22:21] <mechtech> hail losher
[22:21] <vital_> hanasaki, ah, sorry, then I don't know
[22:21] <losher> mechtech: hi there...
[22:22] <losher> hanasaki: I don't know either. But sudo reboot will have much the same effect...
[22:22] <cwill> thanks for the assist but have to go later
[22:22] <mechtech> crashed: I'm really not familiar with system monitoring utilities...matbe someone else =( sorry
[22:22] <duncan__> !karmic
[22:22] <Rexxars> hi, I'm having some trouble with mdadm... "/dev/sdj1 overrides previous devices due to good homehost" any idea what this means or how to override this? I've tried googling it but not getting anything helpful
[22:23] <albdum> Hello can some1 help me with a mount problem ? (dual boot pc - same drives mount at desktop-ubuntu fine but on server-ubuntu they don't [ mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist] the 2 that aren't working at server are connected at a pci-sata the other two working are connected to motherboard)
[22:23] <albdum> albus@ubuntu-server:/$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/HardDisk2
[22:23] <albdum> mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist
[22:23] <albdum> albus@ubuntu-server:/$ sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/HardDisk2
[22:23] <albdum> mount: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'
[22:23] <FloodBot3> albdum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:24] <edbian> albdum: Do the partitions you want to mount show up in the output of "fdisk 0-l"   ?
[22:24] <mechtech> gotta swing my daughter across town...I'll be back.
[22:24] <anahata> hi room
[22:24] <edbian> albdum: * fdisk -l
[22:24] <att0> I am trying to install Truecrypt by downloading the .tar from the official website. I extract the x86 .deb but when I try to install, it says "Wrong architecture 'i386'". I am not using a 64-bit system.
[22:24] <msds1502> There isn't a section on Removing GRUB.  I don't want another system as default.
[22:24] <anahata> does ubuntu support all lcd monitors? how do i find out if it will fully support the one i'm about to buy: HP L1506 with ATI Rage Ultra 128 video card
[22:24] <albdum> edbian : yes they show there but the sdc1 and sdd1 aren't in /dev althrought the sdc and sdd are
[22:25] <network___> Is it legal to have the download link to ubuntu on another site?
[22:25] <Myrtti> network___: why wouldn't it be?
[22:25] <edbian> albdum: Odd.  There is some issue with your raid array I think.  I don't know specifically what though.  Suffice to say:  Any and all filesystems connected to the machine locally should show up in /dev individually
[22:26] <HardDisk> network, ubuntu is free
[22:26] <Myrtti> network___: open source software, free to download, modify and redistribute
[22:26] <vital_> msds1502, I think you need something like "fdisk /mbr" executed from win. But be careful! you can lost the possibility boot your system!
[22:26] <HardDisk> you can link post banners do whatever you want
[22:26] <Myrtti> network___: not only in price
[22:26] <zopiac1> can only one problem use sound at once? I am trying to use GTick and Audacity, but it gives me errors when I try to use them at the same time.
[22:26] <HardDisk> its free for you to modify
[22:26] <losher> msds1502: sorry, I meant to point you to a fixmbr link
[22:26] <losher> !fixmbr
[22:26] <network___> awesome. Just wondering.
[22:26] <Leoneof> hey ^_^
[22:26] <DaZ> network___, lawyers have been notified
[22:26] <albdum> edbian: yeah in ubuntu-desktop on same pc they mount just fine
[22:27] <losher> msds1502: sigh. That wasn't much better was it. Just google fixmbr...
[22:27] <network___> I was going to send a link in email to friend.
[22:27] <jonex_> :( i d k how to work with my wireless
[22:27] <soapbox> How do I end a process in ubuntu (for instance, firefox is running right now, but not in a window, so I can't start firefox until I end the currently running firefox process)
[22:27] <edbian> albdum: You have 2 OS"s on the same physical system?  ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop ??
[22:27] <albdum> edbian: maybe it helps i have them on raid before server and before i installed server i delete the raid1 and format the 1 disk
[22:27] <pepperjack> soapbox: pkill firefox
[22:27] <DaZ> soapbox, kilall, kill, xkill
[22:27] <att0> Downloaded the 64-bit .deb and the install went fine.. still don't know why I have to use 64-bit though
[22:27] <soapbox> thanks pepperjack
[22:27] <albdum> edbian : yes in the desktop they mount just fine
[22:28] <edbian> att0: You need 64 bit OS if you want to utilize more than 3.5 Gb of ram
[22:28] <msds1502> losher: Is it possible to go to the Vista loader first?  I've used EasyBCD to create NeoGRUB so i can get back to a Ubuntu boot screen
[22:28] <edbian> albdum: I'm not sure why they're not showing up in /dev  (the partitions).  They should.  Sorry I can't help more :(
[22:28] <DaZ> edbian, pae?
[22:28] <soapbox> by the way is anyone here familiar with rsync and specifically rsync errors?
[22:28] <DaZ> ahh
[22:28] <jethro> Have they moved "linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic" when i sudo apt get i get "E: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic
[22:28] <jethro> "
[22:28] <bendt> what is the best irc client for the console?
[22:28] <edbian> DaZ: ?  pae ?
[22:29] <network___> !gobuntu
[22:29] <Seveas> !anyone | soapbox
[22:29] <DaZ> edbian, he doesn't need 64 to use more than 4gb
[22:29] <Seveas> :)
[22:29] <soapbox> lol thanks seveas fair enough
[22:29] <losher> msds1502: I don't know enough about vista to advise you. I believe there are 3rd party bootloaders with more flexibility. You might ask on ##windows
[22:29] <edbian> jethro: Try searching the repos.  sudo apt-get search <oackageName>
[22:29] <albdum> edbian: thnx for your time
[22:29] <edbian> DaZ:  Then what does he need it for?
[22:29] <albdum> maybe some1 else knows ? :)
[22:30] <DaZ> edbian, he doesn't it makes only more problems
[22:30] <Seveas> soapbox, so what are your rsync errors?
[22:30] <jethro> edbian: E: Invalid operation search
[22:30] <DaZ> at least in my experience :f
[22:31] <Seveas> jethro, try apt-cache search instead of apt-get search
[22:31] <edbian> DaZ:  Are you saying he doesn't have 4Gb of ram at all, therefore he should just get 32 bit ubuntu?  (BTW who are we talking about here :P ? )
[22:31] <testing234234> "nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet." - how can i raise the connectionlimit?
[22:31] <losher> soapbox: what is your rsync error? Pastebin it if it's long...
[22:31] <soapbox> I'm putting it together for you in a pastebin losher
[22:31] <albdum> Maybe some1 knows why sdc1 isn't on /dev while it is listed at fdisk -l ?
[22:31] <klenz87> hey i have a problem when i boot my ubuntu pc my login screen is out of range of my monitor how can i fix that?
[22:31] <edbian> jethro: "sudo aptitude search <packageName>
[22:31] <bendt> What is the best irc client for the console?
[22:32] <DaZ> edbian, i'm saying you can use more than 4gb on 32bit with pae enabled, so 64bit is worthless on desktop <:
[22:32] <hanasaki> ah.. found it.. molly-guard
[22:32] <VCoolio> bendt: what is best depends on your needs, but try irssi
[22:32] <jethro> edbian and seveas the apt-cash search found the package, how do install it from there
[22:32] <edbian> DaZ:  I've never heard of this!!!  What is pae?!?
[22:32] <DaZ> google->pae <:
[22:33] <jonex_> can i use remote desktop out of LAN?
[22:33] <edbian> jethro: It was probably a typo ;)  If it is in apt-cache it is probably in the repos
[22:33] <Seveas> jethro, apt-get install <packagename here>
[22:33] <bendt> bye
[22:33] <javagamer> Can anyone help me with a zip command?  I currently have "zip -r scripts001.pk4 scripts001", but then scripts001 is included in the zip, what I want is to just have all the subdirectories and files included, as though I archived scripts001
[22:34] <coyo> anyone know who to talk to about ubuntu package remositories? like, when the package 'supybot' will be updated?
[22:34] <Andorin> Is there anything in Ubuntu that would cause a site to fail to load when it would load in Windows XP?
[22:34] <jonex_> remotes desktop
[22:34] <javagamer> coyo: I think it's possible to look up who maintains it, though I don't know how off the top of my head.
[22:34] <coyo> okay
[22:34] <albdum> Maybe some1 knows why sdc1 isn't on /dev while it is listed at fdisk -l ?
[22:35] <DaZ> Andorin, lack of silverlight?
[22:35] <edbian> Andorin: Night having flash installed?
[22:35] <Seveas> coyo, it will be updated in the next version of ubuntu. Not in released versions.
[22:35] <jiohdi> andorin, there may be something on the site... like office live will not allow anything but xp machines to access
[22:35] <Andorin> edbian: It will load on my PC, and I have Flash. But it won't load on my mom's.
[22:35] <coyo> okay
[22:35] <javagamer> nm, fixed my command
[22:36] <losher> coyo: have you found a bug in it? Is that why you're looking for an update?
[22:36] <msds1502> So can I remove GRUB?
[22:36] <Andorin> jiohdi: That's sort of what I was thinking, but it sounds a little crazy to just say "The website won't let Linux users access it."
[22:36] <coyo> since karmic will be coming out soon, that's not a problem, thanks guys
[22:36] <jonex_> can i use remote desktop out of the LAN??????????/
[22:36]  * coyo hugs
[22:36] <edbian> msds1502: If you remove grub you won't have a boot loader.  You need to replace grub if you want to get rid of it.
[22:36] <jiohdi> andorin, its true of ms office live, it may be true of others
[22:36] <Andorin> DaZ: She didn't run Silverlight on the other PC.
[22:37] <riyazd> hi, I'm a total novice here and need some urgent support getting my wireless working.  Belkin f5d8010 ubuntu 9.04
[22:37] <msds1502> Edbian: Would it go straight to my Vista loader? or straight into Ubuntu?
[22:37] <donnybrasco> hey - I would like to remove windows from my computer (currently dual-booting) does anyone know if I can do it without reformatting?
[22:37] <DaZ> Andorin, it may be activex related
[22:37] <VCoolio> jiohdi: there is an about:config trick in firefox to pretend you're using windows if I remember correctly, could give it a shot
[22:37] <coyo> losher: well, a plugin that searches google within irc uses a deprecated feature of google, and the latest version uses a part of google that works
[22:37] <edi_x_1> hi all
[22:37] <Andorin> DaZ: She now uses Firefox when she used IE6 before, if that helps.
[22:38] <edbian> msds1502: No.  "removing grub" would leave nother (no bootloader at all) in the master boot record.  Some boot loader needs to be there for any of your OS"s to boot.  windows has one that it installs when the OS is installed but it is transparent unlike grub which the user is usually aware of.
[22:38] <pepperjack> jonex_: yes but youll likely need to have port forwarding setup on the destination router or whatever
[22:38] <Trijntje> hi edi_x_1
[22:38] <jiohdi> vcoolio, opera has that but office live says no go, must be xp
[22:38] <msds1502> donnybrasco: Get a GParted LiveCD and just delete the Windows NTFS partition and then resize your Ext3 partition to make it bbigger
[22:38] <losher> coyo: the reason I ask is because if you can't wait, you could maybe download the latest version and install it by hand...
[22:38] <soapbox> hey losher here you go: http://pastebin.com/d988b563
[22:38] <jonex_> got u ...to much work
[22:38] <edi_x_1> is there any way that I can encrypt my ubuntu powered netbook?  I'd prefer not to have to re-install if this was possibele
[22:38] <DaZ> Andorin, what page and how it doesn't and does work, would help <:
[22:38] <coyo> losher: that's what i was planning to do. okay, thanks
[22:38] <pepperjack> !wireless | riyazd
[22:38] <coyo> bye guys
[22:39] <jonex_> i need to install wireles drivers that are not supported(Broadcom)
[22:39] <donnybrasco> awesome, thanks - I was dreading the hassel of having to reformat and configure everything all over again!
[22:39] <Seveas> soapbox, that's an easy one
[22:39] <jethro> i am doing the same thing jonex
[22:39] <Seveas> #
[22:39] <Seveas> mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/truth18/public_html/Joomla/images/image_script_pics/uncategorized': File exists
[22:39] <Andorin> DaZ: Alright, the site is: http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/ It seems to be a 500 error. Internal Server error.
[22:39] <msds1502> edbian: if i installed Win7 last, after ubuntu, would it recognize Ubuntu and add it to the list on the bootloader
[22:39] <Seveas> remove the file called 'uncategorized' so resync can create the dir
[22:39] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> is it just me? or is it everyone that i am not receiving any updates since 3-4 days
[22:39] <jonex_> jethro: what wireless u have?
[22:39] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> ?
[22:39] <DaZ> Andorin, works for me
[22:39] <Andorin> DaZ, what are you running?
[22:39] <jethro> jonex atherox 5xxx
[22:39] <soapbox> if you are right i am going to kill rackspace seveas
[22:40] <DaZ> arora
[22:40] <jethro> jonex atheros*
[22:40] <soapbox> they've been running me around for hours
[22:40] <DaZ> Andorin, maybe it's cache?
[22:40] <jonex_> put my name and 2 point :
[22:40] <edbian> msds1502: No windows 7 bootloader is not that smart (not as smart as grub).  It will only point to windows 7
[22:40] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> y is it that there are no updates since few days
[22:40] <soapbox> Alright removing it then
[22:40] <losher> soapbox: the problem isn't rsync, per se, it's the ssh connection. See this -> ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host <- it means ssh can't start
[22:40] <jonex_> jethro: oo i have broadcom
[22:40] <msds1502> donnybrasco: If your using a GRUBloader make sure you edit menu.lst to remove the Windows entry from it ( use gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst )
[22:40] <Andorin> DaZ: I'm on Ubuntu Jaunty and she's on Xubuntu Jaunty. Cache? I don't know. She said the site began refusing to load when she switched from her XP box.
[22:40] <soapbox> At the same time Losher, I can log in from root on server a via ssh
[22:40] <soapbox> and then through that server log in via ssh to server b
[22:40] <soapbox> and vice versa
[22:41] <soapbox> (as root on both machines)
[22:41] <edi_x_1> anyone know anything about how to encrypt an ubuntu powered netbook?
[22:41] <edbian> msds1502: Conversely If you install windows 7 and then ubuntu grub will see windows 7 and add an entry for it.
[22:41] <DaZ> Andorin, 500 isn't browser/system related so it should work now
[22:41] <geezer> Greetings, does anyone here use the wbar or Cairo dock. I need to know if either of them allow me to align them along the side of my screen (as opposed to the default bottom)
[22:41] <riyazd> ubottu: no joy there
[22:41] <soapbox> trying deleting that directory since it's unimportant and definitely worth a shot
[22:41] <Andorin> DaZ: That's good to know. Is there any reason why it would not load for our connection?
[22:42] <DaZ> Andorin, it did load
[22:42] <donnybrasco> thanks msds - should I do that first or after I delete the partition?
[22:42] <Andorin> DaZ: Not for us, though.
[22:42] <DaZ> but there was something wrong with the server
[22:42] <msds1502> edbian: I have 3 OS installed right now, is there a away i can have GRUB show options for Windows 7 and Windows XP?
[22:42] <losher> soapbox: I agree the directory deletion is a red herring...
[22:42] <edbian> msds1502: Yes absolutely!
[22:42] <stryker> i have not been able to play music on amarok, i reinstalled it through synaptics, and not it seems at least it gives me an error, i think http://i28.tinypic.com/s28f90.png
[22:42] <DaZ> Andorin, and for everyone at the time
[22:42] <geent1> Do anybody knows if is any channel for Linux Mint
[22:42] <soapbox> lol its like 5,000 directories
[22:42] <soapbox> all empty though
[22:43] <UbuntuDude> geent1: #linuxmint in IRC
[22:43] <losher> soapbox: try temporarily changing `rsync -aze ssh root\@truthout.org:/var/www/html/$img_path $to_path` to `rsync -aze 'ssh -v' root\@truthout.org:/var/www/html/$img_path $to_path` to see if you can get some debugs out of ssh....
[22:43] <tuxxy> anyone know a of a decent free shell provider
[22:43] <msds1502> donnybrasco: I would delete it AFTER you delete your NTFS partition and lengthen your primary Ext3 ubuntu partition
[22:43] <Andorin> DaZ, the page is still not loading for me...
[22:43] <donnybrasco> msds: ok - will do
[22:43] <soapbox> Alright I'll try that as well Losher, good idea
[22:43] <DaZ> Andorin, remove cache? :f
[22:43] <msds1502> edbian: Right now, GRUB gives me the option for the Windows Bootloader, not a specific OS
[22:44] <losher> soapbox: you can compare that output to 'ssh -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>run by hand....
[22:44] <edbian> msds1502: If you run "update-grub" it will look for all the OS"s and write entries for them automatically.  You can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst by hand if they don't work (sometimes they don't)
[22:44] <acke> hey, why is my dvd-+RW mounted as a cdrom?
[22:44] <soapbox> Alright
[22:44] <msds1502> edbian: where is "update-grub" ?
[22:44] <acke> and why cant my /media/cdrom mounted dvd+-RW not play dvd-rom movies?
[22:45] <losher> acke: you mean why is read-only? Just a naming convention. You should still be able to write to it...
[22:45] <geezer> Anyone know a site where I can find cool bootsplash (usplash) screens??... already searched the usual suspects like gnome-look and linux art
[22:45] <edbian> msds1502: There are 2 parts to the bootloader because they have gotten sophisticated and no  longer fit entirely in the MBR.  When grub "chainloads" or points to the windows boot loader it's pointing to the part that is located on the partition with the rest of the windows OS.
[22:45] <acke> losher well the problem is that it doesnt play my dvds.. you know why?
[22:45] <klenz87> Does any one know how to change the login in window resolution my login window causes my monitor to tell me that its out of range
[22:45] <losher> acke: what actually happends when you try to play (and which app do you use?)
[22:45] <edbian> msds1502: You can manually create entries in your menu.lst for each OS.  Triple boots are not unheard of by any means
[22:46] <Andorin> DaZ: Still doesn't work.
[22:46] <msds1502> edbian: where do i update GRUB?
[22:46] <edbian> msds1502: Try googling "how to triple boot ubuntu windows XP and windows 7" I bet you get many many hits
[22:46] <DaZ> Andorin, traceroute
[22:46] <acke> losher i use vlc. the video screen pops up, and terminates, nothing more happends
[22:46] <Andorin> DaZ: ?
[22:47] <msds1502> edbian: yay lifehacker!
[22:47] <DaZ> Andorin, and se if wget gets page with 500
[22:47] <edbian> msds1502: You can literally run the program "update-grub" or "grub-update"  (I can't remember which).  It's update procedure is controlled mostly by the configuartions in the first part of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:47] <geezer> @klenz87 doesn't StartUp-Manager (found in synaptic) allow you to do that.
[22:47] <Andorin> Daz: What is traceroute?
[22:47] <DaZ> program :f
[22:47] <losher> acke: do you have the decryption library installed?
[22:47] <Trijntje> is it possible to install wubi on a different hd than vista?
[22:47] <losher> !dvd
[22:47] <msds1502> !updateGRUB
[22:48] <edbian> msds1502: "man update-grub"
[22:48] <edbian> msds1502: "man grub-update"
[22:48] <msds1502> in terminal?
[22:48] <edbian> Like I said, one of the two is correct
[22:48] <edbian> msds1502: Yeah! silly
[22:48] <msds1502> :p
[22:48] <q_a_z_steve> can anyone help me reconstruct what should be a perfectly fine split bz2 archive?
[22:48] <msds1502> edbian: i'm still a linux noob
[22:48] <SuperMiguel> does ubuntu support ntfs out of the box?
[22:48] <losher> acke: edbian update-grub...
[22:48] <Andorin> DaZ: I'm no good at reading man pages, especially in 100-degree heat... what's the command to check the site?
[22:48] <stryker> when using amarok, i get this error: The audio playback device hda ati sb does not work i found a post online that deals with this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845 , but i am still confused as to what to do
[22:49] <Trijntje> SuperMiguel: yes
[22:49] <edbian> msds1502: update-grub apparently
[22:49] <DaZ> traceroute link, wget link
[22:49] <edbian> msds1502: "startup-manager" is a handy little app to help configure menu.lst as well
[22:49] <edbian> msds1502: It's GUI based
[22:49] <losher> oops. typed acke when I meant to type msds1502 ....
[22:49] <edbian> msds1502: I have to go!  Good luck!
[22:49] <SuperMiguel> whats the best way to copy "everything" from a ext3 drive to an ntfs drive??
[22:49] <soapbox> Alright it looks like (maybe) the rsync issue is resolved. Now the issue is that it's asking me for the root password over and over again regardless of how many times i enter it
[22:49] <edbian> SuperMiguel: The dd command :)
[22:50] <acke> losher decrypt librar i think so, but im not sure how do i check for that? what lib do I want to look for?
[22:50] <acke> !dvd
[22:50] <soapbox> that's on me to fix though, hey thanks for your help #ubuntu!
[22:50] <Andorin> DaZ: Yep, it gives a 500.
[22:51] <SuperMiguel> whats the best way to copy "everything" from a ext3 drive to an ntfs drive??
[22:51] <DaZ> SuperMiguel,  cp
[22:52] <danbhfive> SuperMiguel: rsync may work well
[22:52] <losher> soapbox: that's because it's trying to read stdin and something else (the perl script) has gotten hold of stdin, so it's constantly reading eof and looping. The easiest (ahem) cure is to make ssh not prompt for a password by using public key authentication. Either that or call rsync differently from perl e.g. using system()
[22:52] <DaZ> SuperMiguel, ntfs-3g gets really slow with files over 4gb
[22:52] <msds1502> whats the program name of the startup manager? startup-manager didn't work
[22:52] <SuperMiguel> danbhfive, rsync gives me an chown errors
[22:52] <jonex_> I need help with this http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
[22:52] <SuperMiguel> DaZ, there are files grater than 4gb :(
[22:52] <SuperMiguel> DaZ, what can i do?
[22:52] <VCoolio> msds1502: you have to install it first
[22:53] <losher> SuperMiguel: I agree with danbhfive. rsync -av is probably easiest. Run it under sudo to avoid permissions problems...
[22:53] <DaZ> SuperMiguel, i copy them through lan
[22:53] <Andorin> DaZ: Yep, it gives a 500.
[22:53] <peniwize> Hi guys.  I had a problem with my nVidia video driver that others may have as well so I wrote a blog post about it at "http://peniwize.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/how-i-solved-my-nvidia-driver-kernel-module-api-mismatchj-problem/".  Is there an on-line forum where I can post or link to this to help out the community?
[22:53] <msds1502> VCoolio: sudo apt-get startup-manager?
[22:54] <SuperMiguel> losher, even using sudo i get chown errors
[22:54] <VCoolio> msds1502: yes, and it start with the command startupmanager (without the - )
[22:54] <jonex_> help !!! http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
[22:54] <acke> losher: i get these errors after following the guide: VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disk.
[22:54] <msds1502> oh!
[22:54] <losher> SuperMiguel: also, I don't know if ownership on ntfs doesn't work the same as on ext3. That may be why...
[22:54] <VCoolio> msds1502: no, apt-get install startup-manager
[22:54] <acke> and this unable to open dvd:///dev/sr0
[22:55] <DaZ`> connection died
[22:55] <SuperMiguel> losher, should i change the permision to 777 on everything on that drive?
[22:55] <losher> acke: Hmm. sounds like decryption lib is missing. I have to run. Start googling :-)
[22:55] <DaZ`> SuperMiguel: you can use lan or windows ext3 driver
[22:55] <acke> losher: thx
[22:55] <losher> SuperMiguel: sorry, I don't know enough about ntfs to advise you....
[22:55] <soapbox> Losher, when you're finished helping supermiguel could you link me to a tutorial on setting up public keys? That's not my script and I don't write perl so I think your first cure (keys) is ideal
[22:55] <danbhfive> SuperMiguel: you may just have to mount it a certain way to get 777
[22:56] <msds1502> vcoolio: i just went to the synaptic package manager
[22:56] <SuperMiguel> DaZ, umm thats not a bad idea... it is actually real good
[22:56] <msds1502> it was therer
[22:56] <losher> soapbox: Sorry, I have to run. Check in google...
[22:56] <SuperMiguel> DaZ, Thank u :)
[22:56] <DaZ`> yw
[22:57] <pelmen> guyx, how do i check last login time for user "xxx".  It will find all my hardware and drivers in the installation of xubuntu right? The only diffrent between ubuntu and xubuntu is that i can choose wich packages i want to install?
[22:57] <Andorin> DaZ: As requested, I checked the site with wget, and the resulting output included the 500 internal server error. What is it that I do next?
[22:57] <albdum> Hello Guys any1 knows why sdc1 and sdd1 are on fdisk -l but not at /dev OS: Ubuntu Server 9.04 32bit (At the same pc with ubuntu desktop 9.04 those two disks are fine)
[22:58] <msds1502> whats the purpose of chainloader +1 in GRUBs menu.lst?
[22:58] <stryker> im trying to edit a file, but it says i don't have permission
[22:58] <DaZ`> Andorin: i don't know ;
[22:58] <VCoolio> stryker: sudo nano <file>  or  gksudo gedit <file>
[22:58] <DaZ`> Andorin: it may be redirected somewhere in your network, so check it with traceroute
[22:58] <stryker> VCoolio: thanks
[22:58] <danbhfive> msds1502: chainloaders load up a different bootloader.  Its used allot with windows install (ie, and OS that doesn't use grub)
[22:59] <sdfh> Will Synaptics follow in the Xubuntu installation? Or do i need to install that? I just want to have a pretty clean ubuntu system there i can choose wich programs i wich to be installed
[22:59] <mezquitale> sdfh, try #xubuntu, this is an ubuntu channel
[22:59] <maximumbob_> how can I force dns resolution in ubuntu? I want to use OpenDNS. I see how to do this for individual connections, but I want all connections to use it by default. If I edit resolv.conf, networkmanager will overwrite it, yes?
[23:00] <msds1502> danbhfive: what specifically does the +1 do? (versus some other number)
[23:00] <albdum> Hello Guys any1 knows why sdc1 and sdd1 are on fdisk -l but not at /dev OS: Ubuntu Server 9.04 32bit (At the same pc with ubuntu desktop 9.04 those two disks are fine). Also those 2 disk are connected throught pci-sata
[23:00] <DaZ`> maximumbob_: a-w
[23:00] <jonex_> help!!! help!!! help !!! http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
[23:00] <danbhfive> msds1502: its saying the bootloader is at the +1 spot of the partition.  Beyond that, I don't know.
[23:01] <maximumbob_> DaZ`: I don't follow...
[23:01] <__iron> jonex_: ?
[23:01] <danbhfive> sdfh: it looks like synaptic is part of Xubuntu
[23:01] <DaZ`> maximumbob_: remove writing permission
[23:01] <msds1502> whats the best way of getting AV codecs since automatix is gone?
[23:01] <spitzi> Hi. I downloaded and bunzip'ed the latest firefox. But how do I install it now in place of the firefox I currently have ?
[23:01] <maximumbob_> DaZ`: ah. I thought there was a more elegant solution, like a networkmanager setting. :P
[23:02] <sdfh> danbhfive: okey, the only diffrent is the WM?
