[19:08] <NewUserr> neverblue how?
[19:08] <CaBa\> randorfer: he uses vpnc by hand at the moment... and thats exactly what networkmanager does
[19:08] <marcus> I've been trying to connect to my school's wireless network [I'm running 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron E1505].  Odd thing is that a few of the WAPs allow a connection just fine, but most of them refuse to give me an IP.  I've been using Wicd for this, and it appears from my ifconfig that eth1:avahi is pulling an IP, but my wireless interface, eth1, is not.   Any ideas?
[19:08] <javaJake> wolliw, not the comp's fault - I didn't notice the battery meter on the mouse. Whoopsy. :P
[19:08] <dgjones> marcus, i can't think of anything else thats obvious, its probably better if you ask the question again in the channel
[19:08] <neverblue> NewUserr, is amule an installed application on your system ?
[19:08] <bullgard4> randorfer: I tried to use GParted. GParted can set a disklabel but not a partition label.
[19:08] <randorfer> caba:  ahh -- i just saw the last line of the coversation
[19:08] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: i dont think so... u dont have a VPN-Connections thing when u click on the tray icon?
[19:08] <marcus> Done.  Thanks, dgjones.
[19:09] <NewUserr> yes neverblue
[19:09] <CaBa\> randorfer: cisco4ever :P
[19:09] <neverblue> NewUserr, do you know what a Terminal is ?
[19:09] <NewUserr> yes but i dont often work with it neverblue to be honest
[19:09] <DrakeJustice_> newbs that want a lesson goto #slinux
[19:09] <randorfer> caba\:  we have a custom cisco vpn client that dosn't mesh with vpnc
[19:09] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: no.
[19:10] <wolliw> javaJake: Have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481037
[19:10] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: I only have "manual configuration"
[19:10] <neverblue> NewUserr,  but you do, none-the-less, so if you open a terminal, then type in the command to start your amule application
[19:10] <randorfer> bullgard4:  I would re-ask you question, I am not sure of any other tools for what you are trying to do
[19:10] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: well, that looks like you didnt use networkmanager up to now
[19:11] <bullgard4> randorfer: ok.
[19:11] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: make a backup of /etc/network/interfaces, then clear it except everything that involves the "lo" device an reboot... that should do the thing... if u dont like it (namely networkmanager) just restore the old file and reboot again :P
[19:11] <randorfer> bullgard4:  sorry I could not help you more
[19:11] <bullgard4> np
[19:12] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: I am using it to switch wireless connections when outside. But I hade kind of a problem because at home I just receive an IP from my provider and everythings fine, then I went to my girlfriend and set up pppoe, and now I wasn't able to connect to the internet back home so I had to run dhclient manually. Haven't figured it out yet
[19:12] <lg188> DrakeJustice_: i will try it
[19:12] <irvken> no sound
[19:12] <javaJake> wolliw, I breezed through it. It involves a CD not booting
[19:12] <irvken> does ubuntu do sound?
[19:12] <javaJake> wolliw, got a dinky USB mouse. :P
[19:12] <wolliw> javaJake: yeah, but it's firewire
[19:12] <wolliw> i don't think it is very helpful though
[19:12] <randorfer> !sound | irvken
[19:12] <ubotu> irvken: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[19:13] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: well those things NetworkManager is supposed to make easier
[19:13] <marcus> I've been trying to connect to my school's wireless network [I'm running 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron E1505].  Odd thing is that a few of the WAPs allow a connection just fine, but most of them refuse to give me an IP.  I've been using Wicd for this, and it appears from my ifconfig that eth1:avahi is pulling an IP, but my wireless interface, eth1, is not.   Any ideas?
[19:13] <javaJake> wolliw, oh, true true
[19:13] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: for me it also doesnt - since it doesnt cooperate with my wireless device too nice :P
[19:13] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: well I'll just do what you said. brb
[19:13] <irvken> yes, done all that, I was being facetious
[19:13] <irvken> it's a bug
[19:14] <wolliw> javaJake: Here is a related thread from the Yellow Dog Linux mailing list

[19:14] <randorfer> irvken:  heh, try installing pulseaudio?
[19:14] <irvken> that mepis doesn't have
[19:14] <irvken> but he mepis doesn't have compix :(
[19:14] <NewUserr> everytime when i try to load servers on amule amule is closin itself can anybody please help me
[19:14] <javaJake> wolliw, *gasp*
[19:14] <wolliw> javaJake: ?
[19:15] <randorfer> irvken:  I would try installing pulseaudio , it may work and fix your sound issues.  I make no promises though.  Google for a walkthrough if your interested
[19:15] <Cr3d1ts> Hi. Can anyone help me with vsfpd? :)
[19:15] <javaJake> wolliw, nvm, I read the next post. ("No it's possible") :P
[19:15] <lmosher> Hey all, I'm having an issue getting sound to work in virtualbox XP guest and my gutsy host. Sounds works in both, just not at the same time. If I play a sound in the guest, it steals the sound and I'm unable to play sounds in the host. Any ideas how to configure this to work?
[19:16] <Vad> My .ogg video playback is broken - I only see a green screen. When I tried opening it in MPlayer, it said that codec wasn't available. What can I do?
[19:16] <kasansweat> I just discovered the wonders of X forwarding thru SSH--messing with an old box, and I somehow set it to open new X apps on the home box, instead of forwarding them. Trying to figure out how to change it back (I think I followed a tutorial here on autologin) Any ideas?
[19:16] <cruocitae> Which Video card company has better drivers for Linux? I'm hesitating between a GeForce 8400 and a Radeon 2400. Which should I choose?
[19:16] <randorfer> lmosher:  install pulse audio it will let you break the stream up and controll where it goes (and at what volume)
[19:16] <ricardo> any one have play america's army in linux?
[19:16] <Vad> nVidia traditionally does, although ati is making improvements. But go with nVidia for now.
[19:17] <YetiChick> lmosher: Oddly, this "just works" for me with ALSA and an ancient SBLive.
[19:17] <kasansweat> cruocitae: I believe GeForce are nVidia--go with that one
[19:17] <Vad> cruocitae: also, look up the cards on ubuntuhcl.org
[19:17] <wolliw> javaJake: "'ve seen this when people try to follow that howto without
[19:17] <wolliw> understanding just what they're up to.  The problem is that on various
[19:17] <wolliw> machines the OF aliases that Bill talks about (fw, node, etc.) aren't
[19:17] <wolliw> correct.  for example my OF fw alias points to the wrong address."
[19:17] <YetiChick> lmosher: But with other sound cards - onboard mostly - I've had to go the pulseaudio route.
[19:17] <NewUserr> everytime when i try to load servers on amule amule is closin itself can anybody please help me
[19:17] <wolliw> (sorry for the spam)
[19:17] <DrthHmstr> I'll think about it
[19:17] <javaJake> wolliw, ah, oh, um, whoops, oh...
[19:17] <jimjam> I have two Ubuntu installations on my computer. I have a 6.06 on my hda and a 7.10 on my hdb. The 6.06 was installed last, so the GRUB runs from there. I would like to only have Gutsy installed, while keeping all my customizations. Any idea what I would do?
[19:17] <cruocitae> Vad: thanks.
[19:18] <javaJake> wolliw, does it matter where the boot partition is located (first block and all)?
[19:18] <_hopex> blkorpheus: sorry, i had to do something, but I still need help to get the window title bars font size to normal, can you help please?
[19:18] <bradv> NewUserr: Have you tried running it a terminal? If you need help doing that, please ask.
[19:18] <wolliw> javaJake: i can't say
[19:18] <javaJake> wolliw, http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:3VyEtkjOLCwJ:<IP_ADDRESS>/ydl-howto/+Richard+McLain+firewire
[19:18] <javaJake> wolliw, that looks like the definitive guide
[19:18] <NewUserr> bradv never did it could you please help me thnx
[19:18] <lmosher> YetiChick, Yeah I have an onboard (laptop) OK thanks for the tips!!
[19:18] <wolliw> yeah
[19:18] <randorfer> NewUser:  if you are looking for a limewire replacement on ubuntu google for frostwire, much easier to setup and get going imo that amule
[19:18] <javaJake> wolliw, and he says first block is 64, which is part of the whole 2-4-8-16-48-64-128-256 number string thing
[19:18] <Assassyn> hi
[19:18] <lmosher> randorfer, Ok, so I install pulse audio ... how do I set it up? Will this be self-explainatory
[19:18] <bradv> NewUserr: Applications | Accessories | Terminal
[19:19] <NewUserr> randorfer yes i have frostwire but amule is much better
[19:19] <javaJake> wolliw, but maybe it's just because that's the block after the partition map. XD
[19:19] <Assassyn> i try to install ubuntu server 7.10 in mware and when 1st screen shows up
[19:19] <Assassyn> i canmot press eter
[19:19] <javaJake> wolliw, according to his output
[19:19] <wolliw> probably
[19:19] <Assassyn> *enter
[19:19] <randorfer> lmosher:  I would go to pulseaudio.com I *think* they have a walkthrough
[19:19] <NewUserr> yes bradv i know where the terminal is :)
[19:19] <randorfer> pulseaudio.org *
[19:19] <lmosher> randorfer, ok thanks for the pointer, I'll give that a shot.
[19:20] <bradv> NewUserr: Okay, well type amule and hit enter.
[19:20] <Assassyn> elllou
[19:20] <NewUserr> yes bradv done
[19:20] <javaJake> wolliw, whew, I got the initrd part right! I figured that out before we even rebooted! wooo! :P
[19:20] <Assassyn> how can i install in text mode? i hit esc button but dunno how to boot in text mode
[19:20] <DrakeJustice_> pulseaudio ^^ woot
[19:20] <wolliw> javaJake: Always nice to be a step ahead, eh?
[19:20] <javaJake> wolliw, exactly
[19:20] <NewUserr> bradv but doesnt work
[19:21] <randorfer> drakejustice: eye candy for you audio ;-)
[19:21] <javaJake> wolliw, mm, but apparently you need to do some slight mods to the generated image.. he later mounts and edits it
[19:21] <DrakeJustice_> randorfer: lol... indeed
[19:21] <wolliw> hmm
[19:21] <bradv> NewUserr: please explain. Did you get an error message?
[19:22] <DrakeJustice_> randorfer: linux need more of these revolutionary ideas... compiz fusion must have brought linux at least a million new users...
[19:22] <wolliw> javaJake: let me read through it in a bit, I haven't eaten since yesterday
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, the mkofboot thing did the install of the yaboot.conf and the "blessing" with "Holy Penguin Pee" for me, so that's good...
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, OK, hey, can you be on in 2 hours?
[19:22] <NewUserr> bradv no but amule is working but i cannot load servers dont know why perhaps my server-met isnt working anymore
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, I could really use your expertise if I need it. :P
[19:22] <wolliw> javaJake: I'm just going to eat a frozen burrito
[19:22] <randorfer> drakeJustice:  aye, making it look good / extra functionality that normal people can use ...
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, lol, 'k
[19:22] <DrakeJustice_> if the experts stop worrying about newbie support' we could revolutionize the desktop itself... it's open SOURCE not open computer... get programming ppl what are you doing!?!?
[19:22] <NewUserr> brav it was always working before
[19:22] <NewUserr> bradv it was always working before
[19:23]  * genii cleans the holy Penguin Pee from the coffepot and puts a fresh batch on
[19:23] <wolliw> just saying i'm a little too hungry to think well right now
[19:23] <DrakeJustice_> genii: gimme a cup
[19:23] <_hopex> blkorpheus: sorry, i had to do something, but I still need help to get the window title bars font size to normal, can you help please?
[19:23] <randorfer> DrakeJustice:  the reason we help newbies is to increase the market share and thus be able to put more of a lean on hardware vendors to release their binaries
[19:23] <javaJake> wolliw, OH OH! OH! OH! "Note that the disk@0:2 is from the FireWire address and 2 is the bootstrap partition." - THAT's what's wrong! 2 is NOT our bootstrap partition! :P
[19:23] <javaJake> wolliw, so, of course, the error means that there's no boot data at the location. Duh!
[19:23] <bradv> NewUserr: I suggest you take your problem to #amule.
[19:23]  * genii slides DrakeJustice_ a mug o coffee
[19:24] <wolliw> cool
[19:24]  * javaJake gives wolliw a hug
[19:24] <DrakeJustice_> randorfer: i kno... im helping as many newbies as possible while programming... it is all about application interface... you know i read on a PRO news site today there is no official 'good' linux bloggin tool?
[19:24] <NewUserr> bradv yes but nobody is answering there :(
[19:24] <Assassyn> hey
[19:24] <Assassyn> helllp
[19:24] <Assassyn> god damn
[19:24]  * DrakeJustice_ chugs coffee, burns self, smokes one and returns to terminal...
[19:25] <PuppiesAtWork> Will Ubuntu run fine on the $200 Wal-Mart PC?
[19:25] <Assassyn> can i swear?
[19:25] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: it won't... super slow
[19:25] <randorfer> puppiesatwork:  maybe? depends on what hardware it has?
[19:25] <wolliw> javaJake: know if it works yet?
[19:25] <PuppiesAtWork> DrakeJustice_: WHat slows it down so?
[19:25] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: gOS kernel is tuned for it... maybe xubuntu
[19:26] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: the hardware choice for the system was atrocious
[19:26] <javaJake> wolliw, won't until later.
[19:26] <bradv> NewUserr: Try posting a more detailed description of the problem. The reason you were asked to open it in the terminal is so you can see the error messages that come up. Try googling the error message to see if that helps as well.
[19:26] <javaJake> wolliw, may I PM?
[19:26] <PuppiesAtWork> DrakeJustice_: Well what is the main bottleneck?  I'm not afraid to replace a few parts
[19:26] <genii> PuppiesAtWork: Bring a livecd with you to walmart and test it
[19:26] <NewUserr> bradv ok thanks
[19:26] <randorfer> puppiesatwork drakejustice:  if its really horrendous you could use fluxbuntu
[19:26] <wolliw> javaJake: sure
[19:26] <soneil> PuppiesAtWork: the distro that ships with it is an ubuntu derivative.  so ubuntu will work .. it just may take some effort.  and an extra stick of ram wouldn't hurt
[19:26] <_hopex> I need help to get the window title bars font size to normal. Im using CompizFusion with Emerald, and even if I change the emerald theme the Font size is huge. The Gdm login text is as big as the window titles. Do you know how to change the this font size? Help please, I have half screen with the titles and need to fix this if want to use this machine.
[19:26] <Assassyn> AYONE INSTALLED UBUNTU 7.10 ON VMWARE?
[19:26] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: try fixing its graphics card... xubuntu runs in safe graphical mode on it... maybe some more kernel hacks i dunno
[19:27] <lmosher> Assassyn, As a guest?
[19:27] <Pici> !caps | Assassyn
[19:27] <PuppiesAtWork> Sucks

[19:27] <kurunci> denis
[19:27] <preaction> !patience | Assassyn
[19:27] <Assassyn> i just asked 3 times and o one replied
[19:27] <ubotu> Assassyn: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[19:27] <lmosher> PuppiesAtWork, I think you're better off looking at an order linux OS. Fluxbox will also make it run fast (instead of gnome or KDE). xubuntu, as others suggested, might work. It's just a slower machine overall.
[19:27] <Assassyn> at least say you don`t have one
[19:28] <DrakeJustice_> Assassyn: i think 7.10 has issues with virtualization the team was playing with the kernel's vm...
[19:28] <kurunci> mamu vam pedersku
[19:28] <Zombie> Anyone familiar with the OpenVPN Configurator?
[19:28] <Assassyn> do`t keep me waiting if o one is able to answer
[19:28] <MasterShrek> my friend runs 7.10 on vmware server perfectly fine
[19:28] <preaction> Assassyn, read the IRC guidelines, being rude will not get you an answer. you aren't the only person in this channel.
[19:28] <narothepharoh> what are some good torrent downloaders like ktorrent but different?
[19:28] <randorfer> lmosher puppiesatwork:  fluxbuntu is an ubuntu derivative (like xubuntu) for fluxbox -- its lighter and faster, less support though in general
[19:28] <MasterShrek> running our web and mail servers right now, no gui tho i guess
[19:28] <preaction> narothepharoh, i use azereus, but it's a bit resource-intensive
[19:28] <PuppiesAtWork> lmosher: Yeah, I really don't mind using XFCE..I just basically need to check my email, surf the web, watch youtube, download videos, FTP stuff, and do web development
[19:28] <xgermx> @naro Deluge
[19:28] <Assassyn> ok thanks DrakeJustice_
[19:28] <MasterShrek> narothepharoh, deluge is good from what i hear
[19:29] <Assassyn> you need to yell in here to get an answer
[19:29] <Assassyn> sory
[19:29] <Pici> Assassyn: check out JeOS, that is more suitable for running inside a VM
[19:29] <xgermx> quick question, can Ubuntu natively mount HTFS?
[19:29] <joejaxx> randorfer: ?
[19:29] <DrakeJustice_> Assassyn: i couldn't get a VMware on 7.10 host to work... kernel module no compile...
[19:29] <NewUserr> amule is the best but it doesnt work on my computer :(
[19:29] <Pici> Assassyn: scratch that, its designed to run inside a vm
[19:29] <joejaxx> randorfer: less support?
[19:29] <narothepharoh> mastershrek: how do i get it?
[19:29] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: why not try FrostWire...? it works ok
[19:29] <randorfer> joejaxx: not a "offical" ubuntu derivative from my understanding
[19:29] <kurunci> does some badu understand me
[19:29] <MasterShrek> narothepharoh, not sure, ive never installed it and i dont use ubuntu
[19:29] <lmosher> PuppiesAtWork, Well if you don't need any graphical craziness, I would go with an older linux distro and a lightweight window manager and you'll be totally fine. I use to just use TWM, ugly but it worked fine and was super fast.
[19:30] <joejaxx> randorfer: ah i thought you meant hardware support :P i was about to say :P
[19:30] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: or seamlessrdp (google) shareza
[19:30] <DrakeJustice_> shareza is GPL, but dozeish
[19:30] <_hopex> where is the system default font size conf file?
[19:30] <MasterShrek> narothepharoh, i just use ktorrent :) i like the ip filter
[19:30] <NewUserr> DrakeJustice yes it does but amule has much more files
[19:30] <_hopex> or the conf file that defines de default font size?
[19:30] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: i suppose... tried MLdonkey yet? can't get more files than that... lol
[19:30] <_hopex> I need help to get the window title bars font size to normal. Im using CompizFusion with Emerald, and even if I change the emerald theme the Font size is huge. The Gdm login text is as big as the window titles. Do you know how to change the this font size? Help please, I have half screen with the titles and need to fix this if want to use this machine.
[19:30] <randorfer> joejaxx: no dont get me wrong I run it on a laptop and enjoy it.  Fluxbox though is something that you need to have a rather good grasp on and that not many people (compared to gnome, kde, xfce) run
[19:30] <PuppiesAtWork> lmosher: TWM?
[19:31] <lmosher> randorfer, I didn't know they had a flux for ubuntu. Problem is (last I checked) fluxbox was super slow in development. I used to use it, but its last version was from a LONG time ago.
[19:31] <DrakeJustice_> TWM ^^ woot
[19:31] <PuppiesAtWork> lmosher: I used to be all about windowmaker
[19:31] <joejaxx> lmosher: fluxbox is at version 1.0 final at themoment
[19:31] <NewUserr> DRakeJustice ok i will try Mldonkey
[19:31] <randorfer> lmosher:  http://www.fluxbuntu.org/js.html
[19:31] <Syco54645-work> hello, if i am wanting to do a grep on all the files that do not contain the line foobar, how would i do that?
[19:31] <narothepharoh> preaction how do i get azereus?
[19:31] <Syco54645-work> i just want to see the lines that do not contain foobar
[19:31] <bradv> _hopex: System, Preferences, Appearances, Fonts
[19:31] <preaction> !info azereus
[19:32] <ubotu> Package azereus does not exist in gutsy
[19:32] <lmosher> joejaxx, oh they finally got out of 0.9? I might check it out. randorfer: Can you run compiz fusion in fluxbox? Lol now there's a mixture of ideals.
[19:32] <dooglio> hey guys, anyone having trouble with bastille?
[19:32] <MasterShrek> !info azureus
[19:32] <bradv> !info azureus
[19:32] <ubotu> azureus: BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>repack1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 6922 kB, installed size 7780 kB
[19:32] <preaction> !info azureus
[19:32] <joejaxx> lmosher: no you cannot
[19:32] <_hopex> bradv: really? Hops!
[19:32] <joejaxx> lmosher: compiz and fluxbox are both window managers
[19:32] <dooglio> I get "'DB4.0' is not a supported operating system."
[19:32] <preaction> narothepharoh, it's in the Universe repositories
[19:32] <randorfer> lmosher:  joejaxx is completely correct
[19:33] <DrakeJustice_> anyone need help?
[19:33] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: yes
[19:33] <lmosher> joejaxx, Yeah, good point. Forgot that. I really like how compiz handles my windows (I don't use it for the eyecandy, honest). So I think I'd keep that over fluxbox, although I did like the cleanness
[19:33] <randorfer> lmosher:  Thats not to say though that you couldn't install fluxbuntu and then install compiz, it would just defete the point
[19:34] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: where do you get that error?
[19:34] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: I'm having trouble with bastille on ubuntu fiesty
[19:34] <luke_> how do i make my terminal window remeber its hight and width
[19:34] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: when I try "InteractiveBastille"
[19:34] <randorfer> lmosher:  the packages / underpinnis of fluxbuntu are much lighter than vanilla ubuntu so you may see a performance increase
[19:34] <dooglio> or just plain "bastille"
[19:34] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: bastille is over my head man... unfamiliar territory
[19:34] <_hopex> bradv: i have Ubuntu in another language and cannot find that option. Is it really called Fonts? I have that option missing... Don't know, oh...
[19:34] <bradv> luke_: Edit menu, Current profile
[19:34] <dooglio> i've been googling around but it looks like no one has anything
[19:34] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: Bastille changes fundamental things in the system i don't know about...
[19:35] <Ljorring> can someone help me set up my wireless networksadapter? I am currently conntected through a wired connection.. please help
[19:35] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: sry to hear that...
[19:35] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: what do you use for a firewall?
[19:35] <bradv> _hopex: Are you using gutsy?
[19:35] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: sounds like issues for Debian 4 or something... i use kmyfirewall and tor
[19:35] <lmosher> randorfer, All things flux are generally faster. But I think combining fluxbox and compiz would be a little wrong. One is all about being slim and quick, the other is about looking pretty.
[19:35] <dooglio> ah
[19:35] <dooglio> this is a server, so i don't want gui
[19:35] <_hopex> bradv: Ubuntu 7.10. If you tell me how the icon looks like?
[19:35] <YetiChick> The weird thing about Compiz for me is the fact that Gnome "workspaces" and the cube's faces are completely different entities.  You can have tons of cubes, each with as many faces as you want.  'til you kill your machine with resource depletion.  :)
[19:36] <javaJake> wolliw, hey, stay around in case I need you later, if you don't mind. :)
[19:36] <randorfer> lmosher:  yep but it dosn't mean you can't do it, its linux you can make it do what ever you want given enough time / elbow grease
[19:36] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: still tor is much better console based firewall CAREFUL configuration tho...
[19:36] <NewUserr> where can i find the mldonkey?
[19:36] <bradv> _hopex: Go to the Appearance applet in the Preferences menu (It's a blue square icon). The third of the five tabs that come up should be the fonts tab.
[19:36] <lmosher> randorfer, Yep, and that's what I like about it. Alright anyway I have to go get quotes on hot plates. blah.
[19:36] <Vad> My .ogg video playback is broken - I only see a green screen. When I tried opening it in MPlayer, it said that codec wasn't available. What can I do?
[19:36] <dooglio> tor, eh? i'll check it out
[19:36] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: have you installed it yet, or are you looking for it?
[19:36] <luke_> bradv, cheers, i tried that but it doesnt have any hight and width settings
[19:36] <luke_> it remembers everything else except height and width
[19:36] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: if tor isn't fixed the right way it's an open door on a server...
[19:37] <dooglio> ouch
[19:37] <dooglio> i really like bastille though
[19:37] <NewUserr> DrakeJustice looking for it cant find it on synaptics
[19:37] <Assassyn> how can i install 7.10 server in text mode in vmware
[19:37] <kasansweat> YetiChick: Agreed on the weird workspace thing. Why do they do it like that?
[19:37] <Hex2> Hey, i got a really hard [for me] SSH tunneling problem, my friend needs me to control her comptuer, but she has a firewall, and cant access it, basicly she needs to ssh into me, open a port [via tunneling] then i log into her, on that port, and open port 5900 once logged in, we are both on ubuntu, and have tried various -R and -L commmands, all of which havent worked for us.
[19:37] <_hopex> bradv: now I see... Everything is set to 10. But it isn't the window title font size
[19:37] <Assassyn> i press Esc but i duno what to write there, liux text does not work
[19:37] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: google it... get the packages for KMLDonkey too, unless you want to use firefox to find files
[19:37] <brobostigon> hi,good evening
[19:38] <DrakeJustice_> brobostigon: hello
[19:38] <YetiChick> kasansweat:  Probably because it was easier to manage the desktops in GL the way that the Compiz developers chose to do it.  The "old" way might not have fit well into the new paradigm.
[19:38] <ramza3_> I have ubu 7.04 but I cant see the option to upgrade to 7.10?  I have synaptic open? where is the upgrade distro option?
[19:38] <dooglio> it's strange because i'm running my laptop as feisty and bastille works fine
[19:38] <dooglio> but on my server, which is feisty, it doesn't work
[19:38] <bradv> luke_: I thought it did. Anyway, you can change the font-size there. Not sure where you change how many lines are displayed. Some of the other terminals have a lot more options.
[19:39] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: maybe the ubuntu-server package has clues (file list)
[19:39] <_hopex> bradv: it is actually the window title font size, but it doesn't take any effect. I still see everithing huge. I have compiz, emerald.
[19:39] <elliotjhug> Hi all, anyone know of a way in evolution to prevent it downloading mail from a certain IMAP folder?
[19:39] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: look for any of the files os specific
[19:39] <kasansweat> YetiChick: Hmm, somehow that makes me wonder about Linus and his objections to gnome
[19:40] <bradv> _hopex: What is your screen resolution (under system, preferences, screen resolution)
[19:40] <dooglio> bastille on my laptop 2.1.1.-13, on the server is 2.1.1-12
[19:40] <dooglio> that's strange
[19:40] <_hopex> bradv: 1280x1024
[19:40] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: indeed... maybe a broken package somewhere
[19:40] <dooglio> yeah
[19:41] <_hopex> bradv: sorry. This laptop is 1280x 800.
[19:41] <Hex2> Hey, where can i go for advanced SSH help?, im running ubuntu 7.10
[19:41] <dooglio> i think i might have found it
[19:41] <YetiChick> kasansweat:  Heh.  Perhaps there is a link.  I don't know.  I do try to avoid the politics.  :)
[19:41] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: ?
[19:41] <dooglio> i had a source for universe as dapper, not fiesty
[19:42] <dooglio> sure enough
[19:42] <dooglio> upgrading bastille
[19:42] <dooglio> heh
[19:42] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: lol... makes sense huh?
[19:42] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: computers mistakes are always our own
[19:42] <dooglio> heh, sure does!
[19:42] <bradv> _hopex: In the Fonts dialog still there is a button marked Details. Click that and tell me what the resolution is in there (should be in dots per inch)
[19:42] <dooglio> yeah, garbage in, garbage out
[19:42] <dooglio> YAY it works
[19:42] <DrakeJustice_> lol
[19:42] <_hopex> bradv: ok. one min.
[19:43] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: thanks for letting me tell you what is wrong with my system :-)
[19:43]  * DrakeJustice_ will be right back
[19:43] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: lol
[19:43] <Hex2> !ssh
[19:43] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[19:43] <bazz> i use gdm/xfce.  if i want to run a command whenever X starts, where can i put it?  .xsession doesn't seem to work
[19:44] <_hopex> bradv: it says 96 points
[19:44] <TopoMorto> TopoMorto, Browse Internet...
[19:44] <kasansweat> YetiChick: Funny that it devolves into "politics" I do find it all kind of interesting. Just read "Just for fun" a few weeks ago
[19:44] <bradv> _hopex: That's what mine is at too and its fine. You can try change that to 72 and see if you like it better, but on my computer that's far too small.
[19:45] <_hopex> bradv: I'll try and see.
[19:45] <YetiChick> kasansweat:  I'm not familiar with that by title.  Nearly everything devolves into politics if it can.  And most things can.
[19:45] <kejo> hello
[19:45] <kejo> how do i list all partitions of my hard disk ?
[19:46] <brobostigon> fidk -l
[19:46] <brobostigon> fdisk -l
[19:46] <kejo> k
[19:46] <DShepherd> i have python 2.5 and python 2.4 installed. Python 2.5 is the default? how do i set python 2.4 as default?
[19:46] <_hopex> bradv: Well, it changes text size, wich is great, but the window titles are still huge. Any suggestions?
[19:46] <kejo> how do i list all my disks
[19:46] <kejo> ?
[19:47]  * TopoMorto eat a pizza
[19:47] <bradv> _hopex: No sorry. Try a different theme I guess.
[19:47] <kapoto> What do the UUIDs in my fstab mean?
[19:47] <brobostigon> jejo, fdisk -l
[19:47] <luke_> guys, my gnome apps have the perfect font setting but for some reason i cant get it work properly for kde apps
[19:47] <NewUserr> DrakeJustice MlDonkey is workin now but same problem there cant load servers there
[19:47] <kejo> brobostigon,  it gives no result
[19:47] <luke_> do i need to do any special settings for kde apps?
[19:47] <bradv> kapoto: They reference your partitions by ID instead of by location.
[19:47] <Zombie> YetiChick: It seems another round of OS Wars is starting up on Slashdot.
[19:48] <kejo> knoppix@1[knoppix]$ fdisk -l
[19:48] <kejo> knoppix@1[knoppix]$
[19:48] <brobostigon> kejo you need to specif a disk,
[19:48] <kejo> brobostigon,  donno what disk to speciify
[19:48] <kapoto> bradv: I need to move my partition. do i have to change them?
[19:48] <brobostigon> hda*
[19:48] <brobostigon> sda*
[19:49] <_hopex> bradv: changing the themes doesn't work it out, still huge window tittles. blkorpheus told me to install startupmanager, it didn't fix my problem and now I have another one. Well done blkorpheus .
[19:49] <kejo> brobostigon,  dont work
[19:49] <kejo> brobostigon,  dont work
[19:49] <kapoto> bradv Or do I just change the /dev/sdb3 to its new value?
[19:49] <kantor> HI, if I use DSA instead of RSA with a ssh connection the transmitted data are not secure ? I mean encrypted ? because DSA is only for digital signature and not for encryption  like RSA
[19:49] <_hopex> bradv: thanx for your help
[19:49] <brobostigon> have a look in dmesg
[19:49] <blkorpheus> _hopex, your problems are not my fault, guy
[19:49] <blkorpheus> just apt-get remove startupmanager
[19:49] <blkorpheus> ti did not break anything
[19:49] <_hopex> blkorpheus: I'm in a trouble, no ubuntu bar, huge window titles...
[19:50] <blkorpheus> you are too lazy to read what you are doing
[19:50] <bradv> kapoto: You cannot change them, they are defined when you format the drive. You can reference disks three ways: by location (sda1), by label (mydrive), or by UUID.
[19:50] <bradv> kapoto: You can use any one of these three in fstab. Read man fstab for more info.
[19:50] <blkorpheus> I cannot help those that do not show the will to help themselves
[19:50] <kapoto> bradv Should my fstab have both uuid and locations?
[19:50] <kejo> how do i list all partitions on every hard disk ?
[19:50] <_hopex> blkorpheus: U are too proud of your arses. And I have lots of things to read I know
[19:51] <kapoto> bradv: Oh, wait, the location is commented out
[19:51] <bradv> kapoto: No, only use one. The best is to use UUID, because if you move your drives around it won't get messed up.
[19:51] <kejo> how do i list all partitions on every hard disk ?
[19:51] <kejo> how do i list all partitions on every hard disk ?
[19:51] <brobostigon> kejo, try a prog called qparted
[19:51]  * DrakeJustice_ is back... momentarily
[19:51] <kapoto> bradv: that explains everything! thanks!
[19:51] <brobostigon> gparted
[19:51] <kejo> k
[19:51] <blkorpheus> kejo, mount
[19:52] <Pici> _hopex: I'm sorry you think that you got bad advice, but when troubleshooting some things don't turn out as planne.d
[19:52] <Pici> blkorpheus: Please dont call users lazy, if you dont want to deal with them, just don't.
[19:52] <_hopex> blkorpheus: I know it's not your fault, but once I installed the startupmanager, I missunderstood one thing (rebooting) and you just washed your hands.
[19:52] <gogzmer> How can I remove the icons for mounted drives from my desktop without un-mounting the drive?
[19:53] <YetiChick> Zombie:  Has the first round ever really ended? :)
[19:53] <bazz> so, how can i have a command run every time gdm starts up?
[19:53] <vbgunz> does this crash X or restart it for any reason (found in /var/log/messages)? Nov 20 07:37:10 box syslogd 1.4.1#21ubuntu3: restart.
[19:53] <jonah> hey guys, i'm really struggling here. i get lock ups and freezes and have been told that installing nvidia 16.04 beta driver fixes this but i can't get this driver to work. the installer runs through but x won't start. and as plan b i tried envy but couldn't get it working either, can anyone please help
[19:53] <Zombie> Oh.
[19:54] <blkorpheus> Pici, please don't stifle my right to share my view of an issue that you are ignorant of?
[19:54] <david__> Oo
[19:54] <Zombie> Well.
[19:54] <DShepherd> gogzmer, open gconf-editor and go /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visible
[19:54] <bradv> jonah: Read through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[19:54] <david__> slt
[19:54] <david__> \part
[19:55] <Cr3d1ts> Can anyone help me with vsftpd? :)
[19:55] <bradv> jonah: There are three nvidia drivers - nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy, and nvidia-glx-new. One of the three should work for you, depending on your specific card.
[19:55] <gogzmer> DShepherd: Thanks
[19:55] <DShepherd> gogzmer, your welcome
[19:56] <Zombie> YetiChick: I understand why it never ended.
[19:56] <Zombie> IMHO, the Mac Users have nothing to stand on.
[19:56] <Zombie> Surely. The current OS war is between Windows and Linux.
[19:56] <Kirua> : ya des français ?
[19:57] <YetiChick> Zombie:  With zealots on both sides, can any war end?
[19:57] <Zombie> Well.
[19:57] <lg188> !fr | Kirua
[19:57] <ubotu> Kirua: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[19:57] <Zombie> It could,
[19:57] <Pici> !ot | Zombie YetiChick
[19:57] <ubotu> Zombie YetiChick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:57] <Kirua> thank you
[19:57] <lg188> np
[19:58] <Zombie> But I don't think it will because Linux is the only think keeping Microsoft from a total South Korean Style monopoly.
[19:58] <jamiejackson> i like pidgin, but it's not going to get LCS (Microsoft Office Communicator) support in my lifetime. is there an ubuntu-friendly (i.e. in the repos) IM client with this support?
[19:59] <DrakeJustice_> almost 1300 nicks... programmer's get programming!!! if 1300 ppl worked on something all at once we could code compiz in one day...
[20:00] <kobold> hi all
[20:00] <DM|> is there a way to check via command line how much memory a compy has
[20:00] <DrakeJustice_> if 1300 ppl don't know how to use the current system, the current system needs another rehaul
[20:00] <DM|> cat /proc?
[20:00] <DrakeJustice_> DM|: cat /proc/meminfo
[20:00] <nanonyme> DrakeJustice_, i think it's likely a lot of people here couldn't code hello world :P
[20:00] <ConstyXIV> DM| free
[20:00] <nanonyme> in any language, that is
[20:00] <DM|> thanks
[20:00] <DrakeJustice_> nanonyme: indeed, but some can, u?
[20:00] <nanonyme> including bash
[20:00] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  trust me, programmers don't scale that well.
[20:00] <kobold> does anyone has experiance with multihomed connections on ubuntu?
[20:01] <DM|> thanks guys
[20:01] <NewUserr> where can i find for mldonkey?
[20:01] <spleencheesmonke> evening all. looking for some help with the dreaded ati drivers for a radeon 9800pro gfx card. running gutsy. :)
[20:01] <YetiChick> kobold: I use ubuntu multihomed on this very workstation.
[20:01] <NewUserr> where can i find servers for mldonkey?
[20:01] <DrakeJustice_> YetiChick: but differences aside, they could... that's the open source spirit, get the other junk out of the way, quick, so we can work on the applications available
[20:02] <kobold> YetiChick, I have ubuntu server 6.06 running with multihomed but after a while my connection just disappears
[20:02] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: google server.met
[20:02] <DrakeJustice_> googlies: awesome name...
[20:02] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  I didn't really mean that.  Programmers are not a resource that scales that way.  If ten programmers can do a project in a month, it does not follow that 40 can do it in a week.  I worked for a dot com or two that didn't quite understand that.
[20:03] <googlies> why?
[20:03] <rojas> HELLO EVERYBODY
[20:03] <googlies> DrakeJustice_: why?
[20:03] <DrakeJustice_> YetiChick: indeed, but if those 40 don't squander time... they might get it done in two weeks...
[20:03] <jals> do i have to remove firefox 2 to try out 3.1 beta?
[20:03] <DrakeJustice_> googlies: i dunno... i just thought it was funny
[20:04] <YetiChick> kobold:  I only used 6.06 for a very short while.  Is the interface still visible to ifconfig?
[20:04] <googlies> DrakeJustice_: why?
[20:04] <spleencheesmonke> anyone had any experience getting an ati radeon gfx card to run compiz?
[20:04] <googlies> DrakeJustice_: does my name mean something?
[20:04] <nanonyme> DrakeJustice_, as an answer to your question: yes, i can code. i just mostly code things you don't need
[20:04] <kobold> YetiChick: I used 2 static IP addresses for the interfaces and the are both visible
[20:05] <spleencheesmonke> this channel is a lot busier than i remember it to be....
[20:05] <bradv> jals: I don't believe so. There is a package for firefox-3.0 that you should be able to install (sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0)
[20:05] <jals> will that just overwrite the current one?
[20:05] <ConstyXIV> the more of anything you pile onto something, the less of an impact each thing will have (including programmers)
[20:05] <Hex2> Hey, i got a really hard [for me] SSH tunneling problem, my friend needs me to control her comptuer, but she has a firewall, and cant access it, basicly she needs to ssh into me, open a port [via tunneling] then i log into her, on that port, and open port 5900 once logged in, we are both on ubuntu, and have tried various -R and -L commmands, all of which havent worked for us.
[20:05] <kobold> YetiChick: 1 connetions is a direct internet connection, the other is a LAN connetion for faster network activities
[20:05] <nanonyme> spleencheesmonke, odd, i remember this being so active i can't follow any of the three simultaneous conversations
[20:05] <bradv> jals: The existing package is called firefox, so no.
[20:05] <spleencheesmonke> haha
[20:05] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  Or they might take ten.  It depends on the project and how it breaks into subtasks.
[20:05] <ConstyXIV> heh, we need a threaded irc :)
[20:05] <jals> ok
[20:06] <YetiChick> kobold:  Which one goes away?
[20:06] <kobold> YetiChick: the Internet one
[20:06] <spleencheesmonke> perhaps more wine will help.
[20:06] <Bollinger> as a rough guess, how much of a performance hit would encrypting my filesystems have? 1%cpu?  10%cpu?
[20:06] <bradv> jals: I haven't tried it myself, so please don't hold me responsible if I'm wrong. ;)
[20:07] <YetiChick> kobold:  I assume you mean that traffic stops traversing that interface, but not the other?  What kind of internet connection is it?
[20:07] <kobold> YetiChick: When I try to restart the network interfaces I get the following error: SIOCADDRT: File exists
[20:07] <DrakeJustice_> YetiChick: indeed... i wasn't trying to be specific, just vaguery to trick a channel's coder's to go make new apps...
[20:07] <kobold> YetiChick: you are right, traffic stops traversing, it's a ADSL2+ connection
[20:07] <nanonyme> kobold, lock file exists?
[20:07] <luke_> hi guys, i restarted my x server and now i cant seeany icons on the desktop the right click also doesnt work
[20:07] <luke_> how do i fix that
[20:08] <kobold> nanonyme: I don't know what you mean sorry...
[20:08] <YetiChick> kobold:  Is the DSL modem installed in the machine, or is it connected to another ethernet NIC?
[20:08] <PriceChild> luke_, alt+f2, then type "nautilus" and press enter
[20:08] <nanonyme> kobold, a program can create a lock file so that if a second instance of the program tries to start, it sees the lock file and shuts down
[20:08] <kobold> YetiChick: this is my setup: internet -> rj11 to modem -> rj45 to machine
[20:09] <luke_> PriceChild, nothing happened
[20:09] <jamiejackson> can anyone recommend an IM client that works with MS Live Communication Server (the protocol that MS Office Communicator uses)?
[20:09] <kobold> nanonyme: I see what you mean, I don't know, how can I check that?
[20:09] <BobSapp> hmm ive rebooted my pc last night and now x isnt working (its telling me it cant find the nvidia kernel module)
[20:09] <luke_> i tried running from gnome-terminal as well, the command didnt return back  yet
[20:09] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  Ah. Well then, please continue.  :)  I can take things a bit too literally at times.
[20:09] <nanonyme> kobold, might try telling it to stop instead of restart
[20:09] <nanonyme> and then start
[20:10] <kobold> nanonyme: I already did that, I also restarted my server but nothing helps
[20:10] <bradv> luke_: It won't come back from the terminal. Press Ctrl-Z to get the prompt back and then type bg to put it in the background. Next tims use nautilus &
[20:10] <luke_> bradv, but the right click thing isnt working and i still cant see my icons.
[20:10] <lg188> bey
[20:10] <BobSapp> was this a result of the previous security
[20:10] <BobSapp> update?
[20:11] <bradv> luke_: How did you restart x? With Ctrl+Alt+Bksp?
[20:11] <luke_> bradv, yes
[20:11] <kobold> YetiChick: how did you setup your multihomed?
[20:11] <bradv> luke_: If this is the first time this has happened I suggest you reboot your computer.
[20:12] <luke_> ok shal give it a try
[20:12] <luke_> cheers guys
[20:12] <free1> yes, good question, how do you restart the x server?
[20:12] <apo`> ctl alt backspace
[20:12] <YetiChick> kobold:  'kay...  Have you verified that you can't get to outside (internet) sites by number instead of name?  You'll want to clarify that it's a netowkr issue and not DNS.
[20:13] <corrosione> would someone explain why cd would not change directories...or would somone past a link explaining how to use cd properly in ununtu gnome

[20:13] <Jarvid> my serial mouse won't work
[20:14] <Jarvid> help
[20:14] <YetiChick> kobold:  Modified the needed files directly.  I've found that the built in network tools in ...  well, no distro I've used is actually good at it...  are usually not well suited to non-typical setups.
[20:14] <bradv> Jarvid: Mice are cheap. You'll have better luck with a ps/2 or usb mouse.
[20:14] <Jarvid> ps/2
[20:14] <YetiChick> kobold:  Ping...  what server?  Is the machine we're talking about being used as a router?
[20:15] <corrosione> thx for link
[20:15] <Jarvid> thats what I mean by serial

[20:15] <corrosione> i have one other question...in file browser..when i look to the location bar it is blank
[20:15] <kobold> YetiChick: which files do I need to edit?
[20:15] <corrosione> why is there no address in the location bar in file browser
[20:16] <bradv> Jarvid: Okay, well they're two different things. Mice should just work in Ubuntu. Check your xorg.conf to make sure its set up correctly.
[20:16] <chippy> hi, whats a quick way (grep?) to find out what a command was, like if I knew I did a "wget massivelycomplexurl" grep "wget" | history ?
[20:17] <YetiChick> kobold:  Okay...  To summarize:  You have a webserver directly connected to the ethernet port of a DSL modem with one NIC and directly to a switch or other LAN connection with the other NIC.  neither NIC uses DHCP?
[20:17] <bradv> chippy: Check your .bash_history file
[20:17] <juanez> chippy: 'history' in bash
[20:17] <kobold> YetiChick: Correct!
[20:17] <ericvw> Can anyone help me to VNC into Gutys?  The remote desktop solution (vino) doesn't help because I don't think it is running when I boot?
[20:17] <YetiChick> kobold: The important one is /etc/network/interfaces
[20:17] <chippy> bradv how can i use grep for that? I don't want to go through that huge file.
[20:18] <Jarvid> Section "InputDevice"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Driver		"mouse"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Option		"CorePointer"

[20:18] <juanez> chippy: "history | grep wget"
[20:18] <Jarvid> EndSection
[20:18] <bradv> chippy: cat ~/.bash_history | grep ...
[20:18] <kobold> YetiChick: my interface file I 100% correct
[20:18] <riotkittie> chippy: cat ~/.bash_history | grep whatever
[20:18] <jorgp> nice thanks for the spam Jarvid
[20:18] <YetiChick> kobold: Do you have "Network Manager" running?  I find that if I leave it running is can interfere a bit with manual configurations.
[20:18] <chippy> thanks juanez , bradv and riotkittie :)
[20:18] <kapoto> If I have only one partition (my ubuntu one), will I need grub?
[20:18] <kobold> YetiChick: Both NIC's are set to static with the right settings
[20:18] <bradv> kapoto: yes
[20:19] <free1> yes, ctrl alt backspce restarts the x server no my local machine
[20:19] <Jarvid> I'm using an IR thingy sending signals through the ps/2 mouse
[20:19] <juanez> chippy: note that 'history' prints the contents of bash_history ... ;)
[20:19] <kapoto> bradv: genius, thanks!
[20:19] <free1> but on the server I ssh into, how would I do that- via commandline?
[20:19] <kobold> YetiChick: I also added a few IProute settings for the multihomed to work, maybe they are fault..?
[20:19] <BobSapp> join #xgl
[20:19] <free1> bobsapp- who are you suggesting this to?
[20:20] <BobSapp> free1: I was trying to get into that room :)
[20:20] <Kirua> ...
[20:20] <free1> ok
[20:20] <chippy> hmm i get " cat ~/.bash_history | grep "wget" .... Binary file (standard input) matches "
[20:21] <YetiChick> kobold: Could be...  Although usually when things work - and then stop working - it's because something changed.  I use plenty of static routes, and a bridge and tap device, as well.  But *nothing* works on this box if I let network manager run.
[20:21] <DrakeJustice_> kobold: where does your name come from? not the final fantasy creature?
[20:21] <ericvw> Can anyone help me to VNC into Gutys?  The remote desktop solution (vino) doesn't help because I don't think it is running when I boot?
[20:22] <jorgp> ericvw: make it start at boot
[20:22] <YetiChick> kobold: Or they might work for a bit and then stop.  To be fair, I am not familiar with network manager.  It just breaks things when I do them by hand, so I almost always remove it.
[20:22] <wubrgamer> hey guys, quick question, I installed wine and used it for a while, then uninstalled it, purging configuration with the "Mark for complete removal" option in synaptic...
[20:22] <wubrgamer> I now have the wine programs I used still in my application menu and "alt-f2" dialog, I want those entry's removed, how would I go about that ?
[20:22] <ericvw> jorgp: how do I do that?
[20:22] <kobold> YetiChick: how can I check if networkmanger is running?
[20:23] <bradv> ericvw: The default is for remote desktop server to start when you log in, so your assumption is likely correct. Not sure how to make it start at boot - try google for the answer.
[20:23] <trontonic> How can I stay updated with new packages that becomes available for Ubuntu? Is there an rss feed for changelogs somewhere?
[20:23] <BlkGhost> How can I pipe connection requests to a console window ?
[20:23] <ericvw> bradv: ok, i'll see what i can dig up
[20:23] <YetiChick> kobold:  I usually notice it because of the little "network connection" icon on my panel.
[20:24] <DanRaider> irc.freenode.net
[20:24] <YetiChick> kobold:  Not sure what the process is called.  You could probably recognize it in a ps, though.
[20:24] <BobSapp> Did anyone elses  xserver get broken after reboot? mine did
[20:25] <wubrgamer> anyone know wine, pm me ? this channel is waayy to crowded....
[20:25] <atriv> Hey guys, all of the sudden im in XFCE and i don't know how i got here! lol.
[20:25] <atriv> what to do? thanks!
[20:25] <kobold> YetiChick: can't find a lang manager in PS
[20:25] <trontonic> atriv: do you know if you use xdm, gdm or kdm?
[20:25] <Pres-Gas> kobold, I believe it is called nm-applet
[20:25] <BobSapp> atriv: celebrate?
[20:25] <malaeum> Hello, I just installed yesterday and I am now trying to update all of my packages. tzdata was in the list, I think, and now it appears to be improperly setup and I can't install anything, anyone know how to fix this?
[20:26] <trontonic> BobSapp: :D
[20:26] <atriv> lol @ BobSapp
[20:26] <atriv> gdm would be gnome?
[20:26] <genii> malaeum: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[20:26] <atriv> i used the default ubuntu desktop
[20:26] <malaeum> genii: I'll give that a go, thanks!
[20:28] <YetiChick> kobold:  Hmm... I don't have a ubuntu machine with network manager running so I can tell you what to look for.
[20:29] <genii> malaeum: Then afterwards: sudo dpkg --configure -a             if the apt system got odd due to broken update or so. Hopefully after this you could run the sudo apt-get update/upgrade again
[20:29] <YetiChick> kobold:  Since you've added routes, I'll assume you know how to check them to see if they've changed when the connection is down
[20:29] <YetiChick> ?
[20:29] <taggie> has anybody gotten a bluetooth a2dp stereo connection working?
[20:29] <kobold> YetiChick: now really, I used route -n to check the gateways
[20:29] <Squee> Would there be a reason why my user passowrd won't update?
[20:29] <atriv> anyone on the xfce issue?
[20:29] <atriv> i mean i can dig it...
[20:29] <Ahmuck> xfce issue?
[20:29] <BlkGhost> How can I send connection requests to a console tty window ?
[20:30] <atriv> i did an update and rebooted and now im in xfce
[20:30] <bradv> atriv: Try change your session options at the login screen to pick GDM. Easiest way to get there is to reboot.
[20:30] <YetiChick> kobold: Can you ping or tracepath the gateway's IP when it's down?
[20:30] <atriv> bradv: thanks
[20:30] <YetiChick> kobold: It comes back up on a reboot, I assume?
[20:30] <Squee> Changing passwords to users is done through System>Administration>Users and Groups, right?
[20:30] <soulfire> whenever I try to start Ubuntu with the Start/Install method (first option) it takes about 5 minutes to get to the Ubuntu desktop.. then nothing happens.  just a Cursoer with a beige background.
[20:30] <Ahmuck> Squee: it can be
[20:31] <Squee> on Feisty
[20:31] <kobold> YetiChick: no, I already rebooted 3 times now
[20:31] <malaeum> genii: well dpkg-reconfigure tzdata tells me that tzdata is broken or not fully installed, so I just tried to reinstall it but it won't let me, it complains about tzdata
[20:31] <jonah> hey guys pulling my hair out. i need to install the nvidia beta driver 169.04 but after installation it doesn't work, x won't start and it says the kernel version doesn't match the module version or something. i have to use this instead of ubuntu shipped one cos i get the lockup/freezes using geforce 7300 card and amd64 machine
[20:32] <Squee> Well, is there any reason why, when I try to change my password in feisty, it doesn't actually save it?
[20:32] <YetiChick> kobold: Oh.  But this was working?  I thought I read "it goes down from time to time" or the like.
[20:32] <trontonic> jonah: do you use the realtime kernel?
[20:32] <karnonas> make sure u check your xorg.conf
[20:32] <genii> malaeum: sudo apt-get remove --purge tzdata; sudo apt-get install tzdata
[20:32] <trontonic> Squee: do you type "passwd"?
[20:32] <malaeum> genii: thanks, I'll do that now
[20:32] <karnonas> and make sure it says nv under the video card section
[20:32] <genii> malaeum: Then the steps i outlined earlier
[20:32] <Squee> trontonic, I'm trying to do it through the gui
[20:32] <Squee> What's the terminal command for it?
[20:32] <trontonic> Squee: that's your answer, it's the gui's fault
[20:33] <kobold> YetiChick: It works for a short time, then it won't get back up
[20:33] <trontonic> Squee: I've made it work in KDE and on the commandline, though
[20:33] <jonah> trontonic, i dunno, i just have standard gutsy install. and need to install this NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.04-pkg2.run
[20:33] <Squee> trontonic, could you tell me the terminal command, then?
[20:33] <kobold> YetiChick:then I remove all routes ec. and then reconfigure and it works for a short time again
[20:33] <soulfire> which option do I select for installing Ubuntu (Safe Graphics Mode or Start/Install Ubuntu)?
[20:33] <trontonic> jonah: tried installing the nvidia-drivers non-manually, through the ubuntu-restricted-driver system?
[20:33] <subpar> quick question: is there a way to make ubuntu automatically mount internal hard drives on boot without writing a bash script... they're ntfs
[20:33] <trontonic> Squee: alt+f2, gnome-terminal, passwd
[20:33] <Squee> okay, thanks
[20:34] <genii> soulfire: Usually the start/install option
[20:34] <trontonic> Squee: np :)
[20:34] <jonah> trontonic, i can't as this driver is beta so ubuntu don't have it
[20:34] <soulfire> Thanks genii ;)
[20:34] <BobSapp> nice name lol
[20:34] <kobold> YetiChick: thank you for your help, I'll try some things here...
[20:34] <kobold> I'll let you know!
[20:34] <genii> soulfire: np
[20:34] <trontonic> jonah: I see. Do you use the gui or the commandline?
[20:34] <bradv> jonah: The GeForce 7300 is listed as being supported in the packaged drivers.
[20:34] <YetiChick> kobold: But a reboot doesn't work?  Weird.   Good luck, though
[20:36] <subpar> well that comes with gutsy
[20:36] <BobSapp> -15 is not loading the nvidia kernel driver
[20:36] <DrakeJustice_> well we know goku's password now...

[20:39] <SpeakerMania> DrakeJustice_, can you be more specific? Google isn't showing any promising results.
[20:39] <DrakeJustice_> brb
[20:40] <bradv> jonah: I see. And you have reason to believe that the beta driver will support 3D on that card? Because if not you are taking a real risk by installing a beta driver that's not packaged or supported by ubuntu.

[20:41] <BobSapp> if so hold alt you can drag it back
[20:41] <desertc> drulux: Is your sound working anywhere else?
[20:41] <genii> whabo: You need a transcoder to make the avi into a DVD compliant mpeg
[20:41] <DrakeJustice_> SpeakerMania: it's named Cinerella or Cinelerra or something like that... i haven't used it in a while
[20:42] <zloog> BobSapp: Nope, But utorrent is definantly running, as it's taskbar icon shows it is uploading

[20:44] <BobSapp> zloog: if the notification area icon for utorrent is still there can u right click it and choose show?
[20:44] <mabhobs> Does ubuntu always come with gparted?
[20:45] <zloog> BobSapp: I can do that, but it doesnt actually show
[20:45] <BobSapp> if u minimise it in wine, from memory it only reappears if u tell it to show itself
[20:45] <BobSapp> ah
[20:45] <bradv> mabhobs: No it doesn't. Install it using synaptic.
[20:45] <BobSapp> zloog: kill it and restart if u really wanna see what its doing :)
[20:45] <travist120> BobSapp: Well, I can do that. But I would rather just fix the kernel, cause my ubuntu has been customized to the point where installing all of the software all over again would be difficult
[20:45] <BobSapp> ull loose ur connections though
[20:46] <BobSapp> travist120: sorry man im not familiar with ubuntu kernel recovery
[20:46] <bradv> jonah: I would try respond in that forum then. There are obviously people there who have installed the beta drivers.

I am trying to intall ubuntu 7.10 with xp already running on a system with 5 partitions. when i boot with the cd it shows my harddisk as one blnk space of 160 gb offering to create NEW partion tables. Would this Damage my data stored in the other drives if i create the partitions required for ubuntu at the end of the hd setting them as logical. later i can install the ntfs drivers. :|
[20:48] <DrakeJustice_> khoda: what is bitlbee?

[20:55] <DrakeJustice_> yup
[20:55] <sledgehammer> can someone show me where the medibuntu wiki is so I can install packages instead of adding the repository.
[20:55] <whabo> guys how do i fsck my harddrive to see if any damage was done after an unsuccessful attemp of partitioning a harddrive??? thx IF anyone can help ...
[20:56] <LoRd_VoODoOChilD> would someone scroll up to my query plz ..
[20:56] <DrakeJustice_> sledgehammer: you need to add the repo b4 you install the packages...
[20:56] <Baletian> Any one know to use iptables to prevent DDoS attack at port 80?

[20:56] <Oli``> I've got two drives bound in (mdadm) RAID1. The problem is to automount them, I need to know their names and (seemingly) every boot, they change their device name (anywhere from sdc to sdf). Is there any way I can lock these two drives into two set device names?
[20:56] <sledgehammer> DrakeJustice_, someone who is good with ubuntu told me the wiki has direct downloads of some packages.
[20:56] <whabo> guys how do i fsck my harddrive to see if any damage was done after an unsuccessful attempt of partitioning a harddrive??? thx IF anyone can help ...
[20:56] <DrakeJustice_> LoRd_VoODoOChilD: ubuntu has a manual partitioning button...
[20:57] <kbrooks> Baletian, but um let me research.
[20:57] <DrakeJustice_> sledgehammer: may be... but without the repo it cannot auto-install dependencies and fix problems and so forth
[20:57] <XLV> Oli``,i think you can set them in mdadm using labels or uuid
[20:57] <whabo> lol
[20:57] <kazol3> Why is the performance of Linux wifi drivers worse than proprietary??
[20:57] <whabo> LoRd lol .. :S
[20:57] <MrPink_> hello, does kibda-docks work ok with gutsy ? A friend of mine has been having some problems? is there a trick, or a special version for gutsy... Does it work ok, or will it have conflicts with Compiz ?
[20:57] <LoRd_VoODoOChilD> yea, and when i go into that, it doesnot show me any of my ntfs partitions, just one blank space which needs new partition table
[20:57] <DrakeJustice_> whabo: go to recovery console and type fsck.ext3 /dev/sda
[20:57] <desertc> Q: I am fighting through getting DVD playback to work in gutsy so I can watch a movie rental this week.  It's more difficult than I thought.  Anyone worked through it recently?
[20:57] <Oli``> XLV: is *that* what the uuid string means?! aaaah!
[20:57] <whabo> thx
[20:58] <PriceChild> !dvd | desertc
[20:58] <ubotu> desertc: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> LoRd_VoODoOChilD: dunno, try LinuxMint or something with preinstall NTFS support...
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> i have a kidney stone soooo bad right now...
[20:58] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, gutsy has ntfs by default
[20:58] <desertc> Oli``: It is a physical disk  reference number
[20:58] <MilitantPotato> for samba do I need only smb-client or the package samba aswell?
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: turned on by default?
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: that isn't good that's patent violation...
[20:58] <LoRd_VoODoOChilD> lol .. n that the support u offer :P
[20:58] <Oli``> XLV: I'll try unmounting them and setting up the uuid. thank you (same to desertc for the info too)
[20:58] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, mhmm... just double click the partition from nautilus
[20:58] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, patent violation?!
[20:59] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: MS owns NTFS... Ubuntu cannot legally redistribute it...
[20:59] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, its offtopic for this channel... but its not a patent violation to reverse engineer the ability to modify the data...
[20:59] <desertc> PriceChild: Yes, already done those steps.  Getting "Error reading NAV packet." in xine.
[20:59] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: interoptability laws i know, but the last court hearing says that they cannot have it turned on by default
[20:59] <PriceChild> desertc, :/ Clean the disc etc. /
[21:00] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, the user must double click the drive in nautilus and enter their sudo password. Further discussion in -offtopic
[21:00] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: im fine thanks...
[21:00] <LoRd_VoODoOChilD> humm is there a way for unetbootin to install with a local image
[21:00] <ray__> i am having a brain fart, i cant remember the command to tell me what my kernel version it
[21:00] <PriceChild> ray__, uname -a
[21:01] <ray__> thanks
[21:01] <desertc> PriceChild: LOL!  Good call.  I removed the disk and reinserted and Ubuntu started it in gXine.  ;)
[21:02] <PriceChild> desertc, I've noticed that until a reboot (not sure which bit of the reboot is important) sometimes totem will start the dvd fine when the disc is put in... but not if you then close totem and try to start it manually
[21:02] <PriceChild> desertc, after first instillation of libdvdcss2
[21:02] <jonah> PriceChild, i didn't see you were in here, i think probably no one can help me i this room except you, i've been in here hours asking and no one seems to be able to help. but i remember that you're a legend on amd64

[21:05] <robobob> hey guys im having trouble extracting from a rar archive any helpers???
[21:05] <jonah> PriceChild, well i need to install beta nvidia driver 169.04 and i installed it but didn't work right and x won't start unless i use nv in xorg.conf. well i need 3d, so nv no good. and shipped gutsy amd64 nvidia driver no good, i get system freezes and lockups all time. but this beta fixes it i'm told here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587905&page=7
[21:05] <PriceChild> robobob, sudo apt-get install unrar
[21:05] <robobob> done that
[21:05] <Oli``> toxicfume: download & run, isn't it?
[21:05] <PriceChild> robobob, the archive manager will then be able to use it
[21:05] <robobob> tty
[21:05] <toxicfume> Oli``: no, it is not like that
[21:05] <jonah> PriceChild, and i tried envy as plan be but that doesn't install it right either, even though it runs through etc x still won't start on reboot
[21:05] <PriceChild> toxicfume, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
[21:06] <PriceChild> !envy | jonah
[21:06] <ubotu> jonah: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[21:06] <toxicfume> PriceChild: but that one is alpha, not the beta released today
[21:06] <DrakeJustice_> gran paradiso ^^ woot
[21:06] <jonah> PriceChild, something about module not matching kernel or something. and i tried removing all nvidia stuff first but no good either
[21:06] <PriceChild> toxicfume, then read the README file inside the archive
[21:06] <jonah> PriceChild, i know i shouldn't use envy, but was desperate as normal way didn't work - but turns out envy no good either
[21:06] <PriceChild> jonah, modprobe -r nvidia, then try again
[21:06] <toxicfume> PriceChild: there isn't any
[21:07] <PriceChild> toxicfume, there must be something, or isntructions from where you got it
[21:07] <toxicfume> PriceChild: ther are no instructions in the archive, nor are there on mozilla's download site
[21:07] <toxicfume> this is a Beta release, thats why i guess
[21:07] <PriceChild> toxicfume, I don't believe you.
[21:07] <whabo> Is it possible that my brand new HP laptop is blocking the live CD to run??? coz it gives me an ERROR .. even tho it ran on my OLD compaq laptop .. thank you

[21:08] <jonah> PriceChild, what does that do?

[21:08] <chris____> i try to install ubuntu desktop, but when i reach 90% of installation at the "checking for packages to remove" stage, cdrom and hard disk don't do anything for a long time and the installation doesnt go any further. the strange is that the pc doesn't freeze, it just stays there doing nothing... can anyone help?
[21:08] <DrakeJustice_> whabo: keep trying, maybe an inconsistency, maybe a BIOS issue... who knows...
[21:08] <toxicfume> thanks, this is why I prefer Windows. :)
[21:08] <DrakeJustice_> gilby80: switched?
[21:08] <whiteygford> fuck windows
[21:08] <PriceChild> jonah, hehe you sound like you know what you're doing :) Basically it removes the "nvidia" module.... ensuring the old one still isn't there.

[21:21] <javaJake> erUSUL, so, either it can't mount it, or it's some other funky fs type
[21:21] <Bakuchris> Everytime I reboot Ubuntu something breaks. The first time my theme changed to the gnome theme and the tastbar was blank, the second time I was still at the gnome theme and the taskbar had completely disappeared and the third time it always corrupts my boot,ini file in my windows partition
[21:21] <DrakeJustice_> toxicfume: gksu ...
[21:21] <javaJake> erUSUL, OK...
[21:21] <bradv> toxicfume: You use the terminal. ;)
[21:21] <pccp> Does Anybody Know if you can bind a mouse button to Go Back in History or bind a mouse button to ALT+LEFT?????
[21:21] <javaJake> erUSUL, well, I need to mount so I can edit it. :P
[21:21] <monkeyspasm> whiteygford: OK, will do. Is this because I didn't unmount it? Trouble is, USB is kinda flakey on his machine...
[21:21] <Ally_B> .
[21:21] <jonah> PriceChild, aahhh, you mean like this one! http://pastebin.ca/791385
[21:21] <erUSUL> javaJake: cpio -id initrd.img  (once unzipped)
[21:21] <whiteygford> monkeyspam: if it boots normally then, unmount it and you should be fine

[21:22] <Gin> NewUserr, that's what azureus is doing to my machine
[21:22] <DrakeJustice_> javaJake: are you trying to compress an initrd?
[21:22] <erUSUL> javaJake: http://wiki.openvz.org/Modifying_initrd_image  check here
[21:22] <pccp> useless channel
[21:22] <whiteygford> monkeyspam: its possible, I've had that problem before only with an internal HD
[21:22] <NewUserr> does it work now Gin?
[21:22] <javaJake> DrakeJustice_, no
[21:22] <bradv> pccp: Maybe the answer is no.
[21:22] <PriceChild> jonah, that's the one
[21:22] <Gin> yea, but very slow
[21:22] <javaJake> DrakeJustice_, trying to modify one file in there to make it boot off of a FireWire drive. :P
[21:22] <DrakeJustice_> javaJake: edit one?
[21:22] <jonah> PriceChild, woohoo
[21:22] <Ally_B> In 7.10, what's the default mode for Nautilus? The docs say Spatial, however it's Browser as far as I can see. Has this changed from earlier versions?
[21:23] <DrakeJustice_> javaJake: hang on ill get the commands
[21:23] <Rev> hey, i tried winehq, doens't seem to be anyone there....does anyone have steam running under wine? i'm having problems with stuttering video
[21:23] <Ayabara> anyone else had "trouble" with large fonts in Gutsy?

[21:23] <blancolado> exit
[21:23] <whabo> whiteygford ... is it possible that vista is blocking my LIveCD on my brand new laptop? its HP pavillion Dv
[21:23] <sparky_here> only options are suspend and hibernate
[21:23] <DrakeJustice_> javaJake: COMPRESS INITRD.GZ:  cd initrd; find | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > ./initrd.gz;
[21:24] <sparky_here> :(
[21:24] <monkeyspasm> whiteygford: What about usb flash drives? same thing?  :P
[21:24] <erUSUL> javaJake: ;)
[21:24] <loguser1> can any one tell a good network moniterying app. that thats my the downloading and uploading speed .. (over all of all apps)
[21:24] <Sharpie> um, i can't move my windows, i know it's somewhere in the compizconfig but i can't find it =\
[21:24] <DrakeJustice_> javaJake: UNCOMPRESS INITRD.GZ: cat initrd.gz | gzip -d | cpio -i
[21:24] <NewUserr> slowing down everything i have heard
[21:24] <javaJake> NewUserr, glad you think so. I think just the opposite. Please stay on topic
[21:24] <javaJake> DrakeJustice_, thanks
[21:24] <ph0x> newuserr yeah
[21:24] <Masoud> www.myhotwife.com!
[21:24] <DrakeJustice_> yup
[21:24] <whiteygford> monkeyspam: you shouldn't, just try the HD, its only a hunch so I'm not sure
[21:24] <javaJake> !spam | Masoud
[21:24] <ubotu> Masoud: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubotu <keyword>): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense...
[21:25] <monkeyspasm> ok thanks whiteygford, will tryu now.
[21:25] <whiteygford> monkeyspam: good luck
[21:25] <javaJake> lol
[21:25] <Rev> anyone use steam with wine successfully?
[21:25] <loguser1> can any one tell a good network moniterying app. that thats my the downloading and uploading speed .. (over all of all apps)
[21:25] <lmosher> Can anyone provide insight: what's the big difference between nomachineNX and VNC?
[21:25] <DrakeJustice_> loguser1: ethereal... lol
[21:25] <whiteygford> Rev: steam works best with Crossover
[21:26] <PriceChild> jonah, I'm sorry but I haven't a clue... I don't know why the nvidia module is loading but not the glx... I suggest you google a little for lines 230-232 and see what reasons they suggest for that solution
[21:26] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: i have it now
[21:26] <kazol3> Is anyone here familiar with installing drivers for Broadcom wifi NICs?
[21:26] <javaJake> loguser1, Wireshark is the new app, that took over from Ethereal
[21:26] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: you need winetricks
[21:26] <javaJake> !ndiswrapper | kazol3
[21:26] <ubotu> kazol3: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:26] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: download wintricks and install gecko with it... then Steam installs without an issue... except the windowsness
[21:26] <whabo> SO i guess there is no way to run ubuntu on a NEW laptop? coz its getting blocked???
[21:26] <javaJake> kazol3, unless you need to be doing network monitor, ndiswrapper is really nice
[21:26] <jonah> PriceChild, thanks man, if you don't know no one ever will, you're a legend with ubuntu. oh well i'll hang in and keep trying to find the answer
[21:26] <ikonia> whabo: of couse there is
[21:27] <ikonia> whabo: I'm on a new laptop
[21:27] <javaJake> kazol3, and usually if ndiswrapper can't do it, no one can
[21:27] <toxicfume> bradv: firefox doesn't startup
[21:27] <XLV> loguser1, you can use traffic shaping to limit all speed to some value, and prioritize some over other, also theres a program called trickle that can restrict specific networking app
[21:27] <PriceChild> jonah, pfft I don't own a 64bit machine... really... go google for that error
[21:27] <sparky_here> any reason why shutdown option would dissapear??
[21:27] <kazol3> javaJake: I'm having problems with bcm43xx fwcutter-I have a very low signal.
[21:27] <erUSUL> !info trickle
[21:27] <zloog> Is there a way to dock arbitrary windows?
[21:27] <ubotu> trickle: user-space bandwidth shaper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-4 (gutsy), package size 34 kB, installed size 164 kB
[21:27] <DrakeJustice_> jonah: what was your issue?
[21:27] <ikonia> sparky_here: yes, a theme
[21:28] <Rev> winetricks?
[21:28] <Rev> DrakeJustice_,  steam installs fine for me
[21:28] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: yeah google it... it's just a script
[21:28] <Rev> but the games video stutter
[21:28] <bradv> toxicfume: Did it set up your permissions properly? Try navigate to /usr/lib/firefox in the terminal and start run-mozilla.sh
[21:28] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: oh?
[21:28] <javaJake> kazol3, yea, the bcm43xx is of poor quality right now. You can only get 11 MB out of the usual 54 MB from that driver.
[21:28] <Rev> yeah, like every few seconds the fps drops to 0
[21:28] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: graphics card and ram...
[21:28] <Jamiesss> anyone use partimage ?
[21:28] <Rev> and then half a second later it kicks back up
[21:28] <sparky_here> what theme would control the logoff screen??
[21:28] <javaJake> kazol3, I highly recommend FIRST uninstalling your drivers, THEN installing ndiswrapper
[21:28] <Rev> geforce 7900, 1.5 g ram
[21:28] <jonah> PriceChild, well i think you're cool anyway, thanks for trying
[21:29] <Rev> it runs fine on windows
[21:29] <ikonia> sparky_here: have you applied a new theme ?
[21:29] <jonah> PriceChild, amd64 or not! haha
[21:29] <Rev> and it's just cs and hl1
[21:29] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: yeah, gfx card issues...
[21:29] <sparky_here> yea the login screen
[21:29] <ikonia> sparky_here: you've just changed your login theme ?
[21:29] <Rev> DrakeJustice_, , what do you mean, the graphics card is definitely good enough
[21:29] <sparky_here> i put it back and it did not come back
[21:29] <Rev> and i installed the driver
[21:29] <Skyrail_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 <- I've followed up to the end of two and now it's messed up my linux connection and It's being a pain loading pages on my windows machine as if one of the commands has messed with a router setting, can anyone help me reset what I've changed back to what they were before running those commands?
[21:29] <sparky_here> yes
[21:29] <Rev> from the restricted drivers menu
[21:29] <ikonia> sparky_here: ok one moment and I'll explain how to fix it
[21:29] <sparky_here> thanks
[21:30] <whabo> lol i gave up i guess ill stick with vista.... none of teh liveCD work they are all being blocked.... this was my 10th attempt
[21:30] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: im saying the linux drivers for it might not be good enough, or too much ram might be being used... things like compiz fusion slow CS down hard...
[21:30] <el_altillo> holas alguien habla español?
[21:30] <kazol3> javaJake: Ok, I'll try. 11 vs 54 Mb is no problem to me, I just need good reception-my speed right now is 50kB.
[21:30] <Rev> compiz fusion?

[21:30] <NewUserr> eh guys i am using MlDonkey but i always get a low Id i opened the port 4662 in my firewall and i did a portforwarding on my router from the range 4662 to 4665 why do i still get a low id can anybody help me thanks
[21:31] <ikonia> whabo: what is the problem
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: try seamlessrdp or crossover then... i dunno
[21:31] <musikgoat> anyone know how to get nntp uri to open in evolution?
[21:31] <toxicfume> bradv: very weird: I entered run-mozilla.sh in the terminal in in firefox folder but it sways command not found :S
[21:31] <Rev> DrakeJustice_, are they free?
[21:31] <src> Skyrail_, the how-to you are refering to has nothing to do with your router
[21:31] <bradv> toxicfume: Type ./run-mozilla.sh
[21:31] <Skyrail_> mhmm
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> ikonia: he is having livecd booting issues...
[21:31] <erUSUL> NewUserr: mlnet does not use the usual port by default
[21:31] <ikonia> DrakeJustice_ I need more detail
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: seamlessrdp and virtualbox are... crossover isn't
[21:31] <Rev> ah.
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> ikonia: livecd inconsistency, i dunno, doesn't make sense...
[21:32] <Skyrail_> src: I know but how come it's seemed to mess up the internet on my windows PC as well, it seems somewhat coincidental that my router pages aren't loading
[21:32] <TechnoViking> is it possible to change your password on a encrypted file system
[21:32] <src> Skyrail_, this being said,i'm sure your router has a "reset to default" button in order to start from scratch
[21:32] <javaJake> kazol3, the speed and distance both increase or decrease proportionally, btw. :)
[21:32] <NewUserr> erUSUL whichj port must i open then?
[21:32] <Rev> what is rdesktop
[21:32] <toxicfume> bradv: did that and it says: run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .
[21:32] <javaJake> kazol3, if you are far, you get low speeds.
[21:32] <javaJake> kazol3, if you have low speeds, it'll act as if you were farther
[21:32] <src> Skyrail_, your router pages from within windows?
[21:32] <bradv> toxicfume: I think the reason you couldn't find installation instructions is because the beta is for developers. You may be out of your league here, and are better off sticking with the current version.
[21:32] <zach_> could someone link me to a fix for the whole laptop-mode hdparm problem?
[21:32] <zach_> google's not workin for me
[21:32] <zach_> i can't come up with anything
[21:32] <erUSUL> NewUserr: mldonkey.sourceforge.net/WhatFirewallPortsToOpen
[21:33] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: what problem?
[21:33] <NewUserr> erUSUL thnx
[21:33] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: dma issues?
[21:33] <toxicfume> bradv: I just want to get it to run, thats all, i'll be able to use it after that. It's just the installation that;s not in my league i guess..it would have been on windows
[21:33] <zach_> laptop-mode uses the bios default for spindown times
[21:33] <zach_> or something to that effect
[21:33] <kazol3> javaJake: inverse-square law?
[21:33] <zach_> and I'd prefer to use 254 or something like that
[21:33] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: right over my head man... sry...
[21:33] <javaJake> kazol3, something like that. ;)
[21:33] <zach_> hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
[21:34] <ikonia> sparky_here: ok you there
[21:34] <kazol3> javaJake: The WAP is directly above the office.
[21:34] <sparky_here> yes
[21:34] <bradv> toxicfume: Are the permissions right on the files? You need execute permissions on firefox, firefox-bin, and run-mozilla.sh
[21:34] <zach_> DrakeJustice_, 'it's all good
[21:34] <pfwdtech> who *e*
[21:34] <erUSUL> NewUserr: no problem (i can not tell you which becouse every client uses a random one so mine will be different than yours)
[21:34] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: are you running that with sda mounted or unmounted? try a livecd
[21:34] <kazol3> javaJake: I should be getting >40Mb.
[21:34] <toxicfume> bradv: how do i execute permissions?
[21:34] <ikonia> sparky_here: ok - read, go to, System -> Administration -> Login Window menu
[21:34] <rainrunner87> Does anyone have any experience setting up an external bluetooth adapter?
[21:34] <Skyrail> src: did you get my last message, the irc disconnected :(
[21:34] <javaJake> kazol3, :P
[21:34] <bradv> toxicfume: sudo chmod +x filename
[21:34] <kazol3> javaJake: But my speed is slower than dial-up.
[21:34] <BassKozz> Anyone wanna help a newb setup VNC in Xubuntu?  I've posted a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3806149 , but haven't gotten much help :(
[21:35] <toxicfume> bradv: okay
[21:35] <sparky_here> ok
[21:35] <NewUserr> erUSUL i will try to find it out then
[21:35] <zach_> DrakeJustice_, unrelated...   I'll just keep googling
[21:35] <DrakeJustice_> k
[21:35] <ikonia> sparky_here: under the tab "menu bar" the option "show actions menu" must be enabled
[21:35] <src> Skyrail, dunno, but if your pages are loading slowly from windows, it's a router issue
[21:35] <Crozar> does office2007 work with winE?
[21:35] <javaJake> kazol3, yea, it's probably the drivers, and if not, it's the device (if you haven't tested it elsewhere)
[21:35] <musikgoat> how to get nntp uri to work in evolution, it supports nntp as of 2.0
[21:35] <ikonia> Crozar: join #wine
[21:35] <ikonia> Crozar: or #winehq
[21:36] <sparky_here> cool thanks man
[21:36] <kazol3> javaJake: It worked fine with the WAP being much farther away.
[21:36] <ikonia> sparky_here: no problem
[21:36] <bradv> toxicfume: I suggest if you are interested in tinkering with things (you obviously are daring enough), do some research into file systems permissions (chown, chgrp, chmod). Essential stuff to avoid real problems when you're working directly with the file system.
[21:36] <toxicfume> bradv: okay i did that for the 3 files you mentioned, i still get the same problem
[21:36] <DrakeJustice_> Crozar: seamlessrdp is your only chance of running it in tux...
[21:36] <BassKozz> When I try and connect to my Xubuntu Box remotely using TightVNC I get "ReadExactL Socket error while reading.", any ideas?

[21:38] <hellsdark> any rtorrent user ?
[21:38] <toxicfume> bradv: okay no problems, thanks a lot for the help so far

[21:46] <ikonia> Bruno_: depends on your hardware and data o nthe dvd
[21:47] <pfwdtech> nice

[21:47] <DaBonBon> Crozar: no
[21:47] <dan> no freebsd is a bsd
[21:47] <dan> lol
[21:48] <Crozar> is bsd better then linux?
[21:48] <ikonia> Bruno_: your call
[21:48] <dan> no
[21:48] <PriceChild> !best | Crozar
[21:48] <ubotu> Crozar: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[21:48] <ikonia> Crozar: this is ubuntu support
[21:48] <macd> Crozar, this might not be the best place to ask that
[21:48] <dan> lol
[21:48] <wefsw> ok, this is getting on my nerves, installed ubuntu, got my profile all setup nice, *sound works*, i added another user for my mom, mad the passwsord, logged out, logged in with her user/pass, and WHAM, no sound ,says no Gstreamers are avaible or something. i log out, and log in with my account, works perfect. wtf!?!? i even copied my entire /home directory to hers and changed ownership, everything changes, desktop settings,. etc but still no sound. why is i
[21:48] <wefsw> t doing this !?
[21:48] <DaBonBon> Crozar: depends on your definition of better ;) but usually for desktops linux is best after windows
[21:48] <Bruno_> ikonia: ok
[21:48] <Crozar> i mean Powerfull
[21:48] <PriceChild> wefsw, how did you add a new user account/
[21:48] <DaBonBon> Crozar: again, what is "powerful" ?
[21:48] <Crozar> something who has Hiroshima
[21:48] <wefsw> PriceChild,  tried it both ways, with useradd and from the GUI
[21:48] <ikonia> Crozar: this is ubuntu support - please stick to support questions
[21:49] <Crozar> whos scarface on the system world :p
[21:49] <obsethryl> hi ikonia, long time
[21:49] <Crozar> ikonia, have you got anyidea's with touch screen :p
[21:49] <ikonia> obsethryl: hey hey
[21:49] <gnomefreak> Crozar: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for non support chat
[21:49] <PriceChild> wefsw, wefsw if you use it from the gui with a fresh username... first... then it should work fine
[21:49] <donkeyofdarkness> sudo apt-get install pi
[21:49] <donkeyofdarkness> ftw
[21:49] <mxrider> i have a printer on my windows xp machine and would like to print from the ubuntu box, but just cant get it, any help?
[21:49] <ikonia> Crozar: as I told you yesterday - I've no idea what your asking about touch screens, your question made no sense
[21:49] <Crozar> gnomefreak, touchscreen tablet doesnt work with ubuntu any idea's? i download evtouch and wacom-tools and still doesnt work
[21:50] <brandon_> hey guys
[21:50] <erUSUL> wefsw: maybe you need to add the other users to the audio group or something
[21:50] <RichW> Can anyone provide confirmation that postfix on ubuntu comes with TLS support?
[21:50] <wefsw> remove the user, whack the home dir, remove the line from /etc/passwd, and try it?
[21:50] <Crozar> my question ikonia gnomefreak  is i cant use touch screen instead of mouse
[21:50] <macd> wefsw, chances are she didnt get added to the proper groups, she should be in adm, dialout, cdrom, floppy, audio, dip, video, plugdev, scanner, lpadmin, admin, netdev, powerdev
[21:50] <RichW> Perhaps someone admins a ubuntu server and can confirm this?
[21:50] <wefsw> my account was created with installation,
[21:50] <ikonia> RichW: tls is possibe, is not enabled, you have to configue it
[21:50] <RichW> ikonia: So its a recompile?
[21:51] <ikonia> RichW: no - tls comes linked, but not enabled
[21:51] <dan> apt-get install pi ? what is pi?
[21:51] <wefsw> haha, thanks, not added to any
[21:51] <gnomefreak> Crozar: thats fine than stick with that but your comments about scarface and others should not be in this channel
[21:51] <donkeyofdarkness> pi is pi
[21:51]  * wefsw punches himself
[21:51] <Reng>  anyone know how to get "FreeSpeak" to work? i have installed the program and it does not start.
[21:51] <firebird619> Could someone help me? When I try to open anything under System ==> Administration, I get this message "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." What can I did to fix this?
[21:51] <ikonia> firebird619: are you runnning the Xserver ?
[21:51] <Crozar> is this a ubuntu fundamental channel?
[21:51] <donkeyofdarkness>        pi - compute decimal Archimedes’ constant Pi to arbitrary accuracy.
[21:51] <ikonia> firebird619: are you using sudo or running as root
[21:51] <PriceChild> firebird619, how much free space do you have on your home partition?
[21:51] <ikonia> Crozar: you KNOW its not, you've been here long enough
[21:51] <RichW> ikonia: What package do I have to install to make it work? Openssl?
[21:52] <ikonia> RichW: no, its already linked, but in your postfix config you have to say "use tls"
[21:52] <Crozar> so its fine to talk freely when its not on traffic
[21:52] <firebird619> PriceChild:  49 GB free on /home
[21:52] <ikonia> Crozar: no, you know the rules, its a support channel
[21:52] <gnomefreak> Crozar: no talk freely in #ubuntu-offtopics
[21:52] <gnomefreak> #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:52] <RichW> ikonia: Thanks a lot!
[21:52] <wefsw> sweet it worked.
[21:52] <Crozar> ikonia, openSUSE has a guide on workin the touchscreen can i do the same guide of evtouch?
[21:52] <ikonia> RichW: no problem, shout if you want a hand enabling it
[21:53] <musikgoat> anyone familiar with evolution's use of nntp?
[21:53] <ikonia> Crozar: you may use that as a guide, but everything will not be the same
[21:53] <donkeyofdarkness> yes
[21:53] <PriceChild> firebird619, have you been running random gui apps with sudo rather than gksudo?
[21:53] <gnomefreak> Crozar: we have gone through this in here and in #ubuntu+1 with you, please follow the rules
[21:53] <firebird619> ikonia: Yes, I am running X (GUI). I had to reconfigure xserver when the PC started to use nv, because when I tried nvidia, it said get-edid wasn't installed.
[21:53] <whabo> WOW im about to smash my new HP laptop ... STill no luck installing any LINUC distro on it... liveCDs will just not run.... what a waste of money .. i wish i can return it.

[21:53] <Scunizi> Anyone using or have used a Genius PenSketch graphics tablet?  Just looking for compatibility comments.

[21:53] <Crozar> ok gnomefreak cool it
[21:54] <bradv> whabo: What is the problem?
[21:54] <ikonia> Scunizi: check the "linux compatible" website
[21:54] <donkeyofdarkness> whabo, try the alternate insatll cd

[21:55] <dan> my built in wireless doesnt work with ubuntu. but it works with backtrack, off and on.
[21:55] <firebird619> ikonia: I never run as root, I always used sudo. I click System, then Administration, and then click on whatever I want to use, it then asks for the password and then that message shows up.
[21:55] <ikonia> firebird619: remove the .Xauthority file

[21:58] <brandon_> bradv: I try to get into steam and it says I need to install gecko so I do then an error comes up I press ok and on the steam homepage I see that that HTML rendering needs to be enabled
[21:58] <jewboy> ok thanks anyway
[21:58] <src> JoeThomas, how about your home directory
[21:58] <Cooner750> Trying to upgrade to 7.10 and it's stuck at 35 of 40 packages and will not move
[21:58] <magnetron> joe under local
[21:58] <dan> but it doesnt work for some torrents. so i suggest utorrent with wine.
[21:58] <PriceChild> Crozar, I've never used a tablet, but if you do the 3 things i said earlier (you've achieved 1) someone might be able to help
[21:58] <DrakeJustice_> JoeThomas: /usr/local/src
[21:58] <JoeThomas> src: because im going to compile.
[21:58] <ikonia> Crozar: you'll have to set it up manually, as detection of touch screens will not work - 9 times out of 19 at least
[21:58] <jussi01> mxrider: try setting the printer up throught cups browser interface, instead of the normal printer window ( localhost:631 )
[21:58] <PriceChild> Cooner750, be patient
[21:58] <JoeThomas> DrakeJustice_: Thanks
[21:58] <donkeyofdarkness> Maenad, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg fixes many problems
[21:58] <brandon_> bradv: then steam shuts down
[21:59] <Cooner750> PriceChild: Is waiting 15 minutes patient enough? o-O
[21:59] <donkeyofdarkness> :p

[21:59] <ikonia> Crozar: I have a tablet PC running with a working touch screen, but you have to define the screen very well
