[11:32] <bidget> yeah I know thats why Im confused
[11:32] <kelvin911> yes pdf always work
[11:33] <bidget> the whole installation was incredibly straight forward except I didnt know to change the swap partition from ext3 to swap
[11:33] <kelvin911> my resume is always in pdf
[11:33] <bidget> but someone shed some light on that for me so it was all good
[11:33] <LollinopiL> way i've saved to doc but some pictures doesn't work properly
[11:33] <DistroJockey> bidget: :)
[11:33] <kelvin911> so the other end no one can changes it
[11:33] <erat123> i see firefox beta 5 is out.. but the final release isnt until june.... will ubntu hardy still adopt firefox 3??
[11:33] <Johnny_5> how do i use pastebin?
[11:33] <bidget> lol
[11:33] <bidget> Im going to reboot maybe grub will magically appear
[11:33] <bidget> brb
[11:33] <DistroJockey> !pastebin | Johnny_5
[11:33] <ubotu> Johnny_5: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[11:33] <LollinopiL> !lol
[11:33] <kelvin911> what kinda unveristy is that?
[11:33] <ubotu> Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[11:34] <Johnny_5> i want to paste a screenshot so u guys can see the prob i'm havin'
[11:34] <waylandbill> LollinopiL: oh. images will work with the pdf.
[11:34] <kelvin911> most university uses unix in computer lab
[11:34] <LollinopiL> WEEEEEELL i try to save the document as PDF ^.^
[11:34] <LollinopiL> thanks !
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> Johnny_5: paste stuff in and hit the submit button (or paste) then you will have a url in your address bar. paste that here
[11:34] <Johnny_5> k
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> Johnny_5: then use imageshack or similar
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> LollinopiL: .doc is a proprietary microsoft format. Its a best effort really. The community ispushing for an open format so all systems can interoperate
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> LollinopiL: but M$ probs won't take it so they can see their suite
[11:35] <guycook> link for a good how to on dual monitors in x64 ubuntu?
[11:35] <guycook> nvidia card in the tower
[11:35] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> which tower?
[11:36] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> i hate nvidia too.
[11:36] <kelvin911> nvidia is the best
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> nvidia rocks. excellent support in linux :)
[11:36] <Johnny_5> how do i use that?
[11:36] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> they do not allow me to use ther faggot software
[11:36] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> support?
[11:36] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah
[11:36] <waylandbill> kelvin911: there are many that don't. Many schools and universities have Windows servers. Don't ask me why.
[11:36] <guycook> I have removable hard drives, and just tried installing ubuntu, but only works on one monitor
[11:36] <kelvin911> waylandbill: really?
[11:36] <Johnny_5> ActionParsnip: how do i use imageshack
[11:36] <kelvin911> waylandbill: in US or canada?
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> ]Mster_Of_Chaos: yeah, the produce drivers for Linux. ATi are still being weird
[11:36] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> they sends me 100megabyte software
[11:37] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> fir allowing me to use their stupid device
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> Johnny_5: you can use photobucket too, anything will do
[11:37] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> which realy needs just not much then 10kb data or drive that f* thing
[11:37] <Lamego> kelvin911, on some EU countries Windows is more used at univs
[11:38] <ricanelite> when i boot up my machine and when the login screen comes up it is at a different resolution like 800x600 but when I login and it goes to my desktop it is at 1280x720
[11:38] <waylandbill> kelvin911: US. Could be Canada too, but I wouldn't know. There must be something they know that I don't.
[11:38] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> its some as forcing you to use a nvidia  driver for your bike.
[11:38] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah
[11:38] <kelvin911> Lamego: wow didnt know that, maybe those university doesnt have computer department
[11:38] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> can you imagine allway a man will sit on your bike
[11:38] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> if there was just nvidia made bikes
[11:38] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> lols
[11:38] <Lamego> kelvin911, they do, IT Eng Univs
[11:38] <VijayAnand> ricanelite: 720? you mean 800?
[11:38] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> bike driver
[11:39] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> for using a bike 1
[11:39] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> !
[11:39] <waylandbill> ]Mster_Of_Chaos: but it's a privilege to use their card. ;)
[11:39] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah.
[11:39] <kelvin911> my university here in canada uses saloris
[11:39] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> yeah but it makes it hard
[11:39] <VijayAnand> kelvin911: canada.. which uni?
[11:39] <kelvin911> UBCO
[11:39] <guycook> Does the unbuntu have a gui for setting the displays?
[11:39] <VijayAnand> kelvin911: ah, i went to Ottawa U
[11:39] <ideal> Good
[11:39] <kelvin911> cant afford to pay MS
[11:40] <VijayAnand> kelvin911: they were sold on solaris too :P
[11:40] <billy> sup
[11:40] <kelvin911> my prof said in windows lab, each computer need to pay license
[11:40] <waylandbill> kelvin911: I guess it all depends on the IT dept. Maybe they think paying M$ for the software means it'll function better.
[11:40] <abhi_> does anyone know how does GNOME decide on MIME Types? I have a file which is of a different MIME type than the one GNOME is displaying
[11:40] <VijayAnand> kelvin911: your professor is too old :)
[11:40] <waylandbill> kelvin911: that's correct. each one needs a license.
[11:40] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah ewen more stupid thing is i also need kernel sources too
[11:41] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> ~150 mb data for a driver
[11:41] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> ewery time it fails
[11:41] <joep> Distrojokey thanks!. It turned out I had the wrong printername chosen belonging to my other distribution (FC7).
[11:41] <kelvin911> the licensing paying sun is cheaper therefore go for spac machine
[11:41] <kelvin911> sparc
[11:41] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah
[11:41] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> i crack their drivers one day
[11:41] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> i were hoping someone else do it before
[11:42] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> but looks like worlds awerage does not supports it.
[11:42] <DistroJockey> joep: np, glad you got it sorted
[11:42] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> i feel angry about that
[11:42] <waylandbill> kelvin911: freebsd is even cheaper and runs a mean webserver.
[11:42] <joep> To all: I have another problem.  Can we have a pastebin of lspci please
[11:43] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah but im wery wery busy to do somethings for this for now
[11:43] <damo22> joep: sudo lspci -v
[11:43] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah brah
[11:44] <kelvin911> the reason i think the university using unix is u can link up more than one computer to do calculation for some math stuffs
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> damo22: no need for sudo, dude
[11:44] <joep> However, neither is seen and so I have no sound (I use my system a.o. for sound recording with Ardour!).
[11:44] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> i hate ubuntu about sudo su too...!
[11:44] <kelvin911> thats why maybe
[11:44] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> knoppix do not needs sudo su
[11:44] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> and windows do not need it
[11:44] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> grah anyway
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> ]Mster_Of_Chaos: thats cos you run it all as root.  It makes more sense to teach systems that admins would actually be using in the field.
[11:45] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> knoppix neesds just su
[11:45] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> for getting root access
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> ]Mster_Of_Chaos: its usual
[11:45] <sergiu87> hi
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> just sudo / gksu / kdesu when you need power
[11:46] <sergiu87> why for me the ^c control keys dosent work in terminal?
[11:46] <l0tU5> DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CLONEZILLA OR JUST CLONING A MACHINE?
[11:46] <joep> I want to do it but ubuntu want a file to use with a database
[11:46] <DistroJockey> sergiu87: as in Ctrl+C ?
[11:46] <Frederick> I am a 5-years Windows user, I am a dummy in linux and I am reading "Linux for dummies", will this help?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> l0tU5: kill the caps dude
[11:46] <]Mster_Of_Chaos> condalesza rice ?
[11:46] <bastid_raZor> !cloning | l0tU5
[11:46] <ubotu> l0tU5: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[11:46] <sergiu87> DistroJockey ,yes
[11:46] <Slart> !caps | l0tU5
[11:46] <ubotu> l0tU5: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[11:46] <waylandbill> Johnny_5: you trying to access another user's files?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Frederick: a little, just use it and you'll learn faster too
[11:47] <Johnny_5> no i'm tryin' to move files into their folder
[11:47] <DistroJockey> sergiu87: hmm, no idea. What are you trying to cancel?
[11:47] <Frederick> ActionParsnip: thanks
[11:47] <l0tU5> Sorry... my bad
[11:48] <waylandbill> Frederick: I recommend http://linuxbasics.org as well
[11:48] <Johnny_5> i accidentally made them own the dir in my /home/nix0r dir
[11:48] <sergiu87> DistroJockey, the upgrade, but with rtorrent it also dont work.
[11:48] <sergiu87> ctrl+q, ctrl+d..
[11:48] <ideal> I'm install a common package by using ./configure make make install. after I typed the command make,I got the following error : make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.Look forward to your help.Thanks!
[11:48] <l0tU5> !automate
[11:48] <ubotu> Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning
[11:48] <Frederick> waylandbill: k, will bookmark that, thanks
[11:48] <Slart> ideal: did the ./configure part print out any errors?
[11:48] <ideal> no
[11:49] <DistroJockey> sergiu87: sorry, no idea
[11:49] <Slart> ideal: then I guess you need to talk to whoever wrote the software you're trying to compile
[11:49] <waylandbill> Johnny_5: if you want to access their folder without being root, you need to give write permission to group or others. You need to do that as the other user or root.
[11:50] <ideal> but after installing several packages,I found it happened every time.
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Johnny_5: check out chmod or chown :)
[11:50] <Johnny_5> k
[11:50] <stevecam> hello
[11:50] <Slart> ideal: if I understand things correctly ./configure sets up the make files so make works.. you'll get the same error if you don't run ./configure.. or if ./configure finds something wrong and exits with an error
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> !hi | stevecam
[11:50] <ubotu> stevecam: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:50] <joep> I have used the indicated file and the soundcard is seen:02:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a)
[11:50] <joep> 02:08.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 0a)
[11:51] <Slart> ideal: well.. pastebin the output from ./configure and make and we'll see if you missed something
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> joep: ok so its installed but youget no sound
[11:51] <waylandbill> ideal: if you do alot of source based installations, you may be interested in 'checkinstall'
[11:51] <l0tU5> I need to clone this machine on 7 other machines... It needs to be exactly the same with games and all... All personal data...
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> joep: if you run amarok and play a track does the eq move?
[11:51] <ideal> I did not so much
[11:52] <iositd> l0tU5, are the 7 machines exactly the same? (concerning HDD the most)
[11:52] <terminhell> Im using xfce right now, and im wondering if there is a way to make its panels "always on bottom"
[11:52] <l0tU5> They must become exactly the same...
[11:52] <joep> From which directory ?? I installed Ububtu fro DVD so I have nothing configured.
[11:52] <l0tU5> oh... yes... all hardware is the same...
[11:52] <iositd> l0tU5, it's about the size mostly. If they are the same, you can use dd to copy and paste the exact content.
[11:53] <Johnny_5> ActionParsnip: what do i do about the fact that it says brian owns all those folders in my /home/nix0r dir?
[11:53] <waylandbill> l0tU5: dd the partitions from one hard drive to the next. You could use GPartEd as well preferably from a LiveCD so the partitions aren't mounted.
[11:53] <l0tU5> the machines are built the same...
[11:53] <Survivorman> terminhell, why don't you join #xubuntu
[11:53] <terminhell> Survivorman: cuz i didnt think of it :p
[11:53] <l0tU5> whats dd?
[11:53] <ideal> in the last line of the output of ./configure,I was given the following : configure: error: "Cannot find glib"
[11:54] <DistroJockey> joep: maybe try alsamixer in a terminal to see what is there. You can type ? while in there for help.
[11:54] <Slart> ideal: looks like an error to me..
[11:54] <iositd> l0tU5, use a liveCD to boot the machine you want to copy, and then use DD if=/your/root/partition of=/your/external/drive/file which will write a file to your drive. Then you can boot the other machine and do the exact opposite.
[11:54] <waylandbill> l0tU5: dd copies files.
[11:54] <ideal> This is some more information:
[11:54] <ideal> *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
[11:54] <ideal> *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
[11:54] <ideal> *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
[11:54] <ideal> configure: error: "Cannot find glib"
[11:54] <FloodBot3> ideal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:54] <DragonLarma> hello!
[11:54] <Slart> ideal: don't paste in here.. use a !pastebin
[11:55] <ideal> Ok,thank you.I'm a fresh here.
[11:55] <iositd> ideal, can you try to install glib?
[11:55] <joep> I don't think I have amarok installed. I will do that now. WIll come back but have to sign off now.
[11:55] <Slart> !paste | ideal
[11:55] <ubotu> ideal: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Johnny_5: just sudo chown or sudo chmod the folder
[11:56] <Johnny_5> k
[11:56] <joep> Correction : I'm using Gnome (am allergic to KDE).
[11:56] <Slart> ideal: try running this in a terminal "sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev" then try ./configure again
[11:56] <unocrash> hey
[11:56] <iositd> Slart, you're aware of using apt-get build-dep right?
[11:57] <unocrash> Whats a good screen recorder for Ubuntu?
[11:57] <ideal> Thank you, I'm running it
[11:57] <l0tU5> Thanks
[11:57] <Slart> iositd: yes.. I'm just assuming that whatever he's installing isn't available as a package.. and build-dep doesn't work then, or?
[11:57] <waylandbill> unocrash: screen capture? hit the print screen button.
[11:58] <iositd> Slart, hmm ... yeah that's true
[11:58] <l0tU5> How would Gparted help with cloning?
[11:58] <iositd> l0tU5, DD would be the fastest and easiest to use
[11:58] <unocrash> waylandbill: I know that! I been with ubuntu for a few years, but never found a screen recorder compatible with it.
[11:58] <iositd> Slart, might help to know what package he's installin =)
[11:58] <iositd> unocrash, recordmydesktop ?
[11:58] <iositd> !find recordmydesktop
[11:58] <ubotu> Found: -
[11:59] <unocrash> never heard of Recordmydesktop
[11:59] <Slart> iositd: well.. yes...it might.. but where's the fun in taking the easy route ;)
[11:59] <unocrash> where do i get? Command line, package, website?
[11:59] <iositd> unocrash, p   recordmydesktop                 - Captures audio-video data of a Linux deskt
[11:59] <waylandbill> l0tU5: GParted would do the copying graphically, but basically does what dd does.
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> unocrash: its sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
[11:59] <unocrash> ok
[11:59] <l0tU5> ok... at the moment I have 2 of the hard drives in 1 machine... The 1 that i want to clone and 1 of the other hard drives... what do i do?
[12:00] <iositd> Slart, heh ... that's true
[12:00] <crackerjackz> i had to reinstall ubuntu now "apt-get install" wont work
[12:00] <crackerjackz> am i missing some packages or something
[12:00] <Slart> !doesntwork
[12:00] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[12:00] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: can you pastebin apt-get output?
[12:00] <iositd> l0tU5, boot from another disc (liveCD preferably) and then do DD if=/dev/to/clone/from of=/dev/to/clone/to
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> crackerjackz: you need to select a package t install. try sudo apt-get update
[12:00] <crackerjackz> waylandbill what do you mean?
[12:00] <guycook> in gnome what do I use to setup the monitors?  Is there a gui that will do that?
[12:01] <abhi_> can anyone tell me how to edit MIME types for Ubuntu? I want to get rid of a mime type
[12:01] <ideal> Slart,I did it.Thank you so much.
[12:01] <waylandbill> apt-get doesn't work isn't specific enough. Is it outputting an error?
[12:01] <crackerjackz> actionparsnip apt-get update worked but when i try apt-get install gkrellm for example
[12:01] <Slart> ideal: you're welcome
[12:01] <unocrash> crackerjackz: the command line works like this
[12:01] <crackerjackz> or any other package
[12:01] <crackerjackz> it cant find them
[12:01] <l0tU5> Ok thanks... Now what if I want to create an "image" file of the partition to download from a server?
[12:02] <unocrash> crackerjackz: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
[12:02] <iositd> crackerjackz, please give us the output of what it tells you when you try to install a package on pastebin please.
[12:02] <fx|RabBit> hi all!
[12:02] <unocrash> crackerjackz: To install recordmydesktop, that's the command line
[12:02] <iositd> l0tU5, you'll need another disc. Then you'll use of=/media/to/write/image/file.ext
[12:02] <fx|RabBit> can anybody recommend me a decent webcam that works with skype?
[12:02] <kelvin911> or get recordmydesktop from add/remove
[12:02] <LGKeiz> hey
[12:02] <LGKeiz> um..
[12:02] <LGKeiz> for some reason
[12:02] <LGKeiz> people can't hear me on skype.
[12:03] <LGKeiz> but I can hear them
[12:03] <LGKeiz> anyone have any idea?
[12:03] <iositd> LGKeiz, please use just one line for your question.
[12:03] <kelvin911> yes
[12:03] <LGKeiz> sorry :p
[12:03] <Slart> LGKeiz: your microphone isn't connected?
[12:03] <LGKeiz> It's ..connected.
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: try the mic in another socket
[12:03] <unocrash> LGKeiz: is the mic on?
[12:03] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: yes, have a look into your settings /audiosettings
[12:03] <kelvin911> its the setup in skype
[12:03] <LGKeiz> okay um, look at it.
[12:03] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: there change the default device to the first usb device
[12:04] <waylandbill> LGKeiz: correct input device selected in Skype? Volume not minimum or muted?
[12:04] <kelvin911> options | sound devices
[12:04] <unocrash> LGKeiz: Unmute the microphone in alsa.
[12:04] <crackerjackz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62002/
[12:04] <unocrash> or in skype
[12:04] <kelvin911> pick USB device if u r using webcam
[12:04] <l0tU5> what i want to be able to do is: if the hard drive isn't formatted then i'll search on the server for an image
[12:04] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: what webcam do u use?
[12:04] <crackerjackz> thats what happens when i try apt-get install recordmydesktop
[12:04] <LGKeiz> still nothing, i have it set to the first option.
[12:04] <LGKeiz> and the mic is unmuted.
[12:05] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: also in alsamixer?
[12:05] <unocrash> crackerjackz: sudo apt-get install.
[12:05] <Skiessi> crackerjackz, what version of ubuntu you have?
[12:05] <waylandbill> l0tU5: sounds like a job for PXE network booting
[12:05] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: are you on a laptop odera desktop?
[12:05] <unocrash> crackerjackz: you forgot the sudo
[12:05] <LGKeiz> desktop
[12:05] <crackerjackz> uno crash i already did sudo bash and put my password in in root
[12:05] <Survivorman> you may need to enable a repo
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> try gtk-recordmydesktop
[12:05] <LGKeiz> and yes it is unmuted.
[12:05] <Survivorman> he's root
[12:05] <crackerjackz> unocrash **
[12:05] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: so no hardware mute switch?
[12:05] <LGKeiz> fx|RabBit come again?..
[12:05] <l0tU5> and what format will the image be?
[12:05] <crackerjackz> ill try it with the sudo though just to see what it does
[12:06] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: what webcam do you have?
[12:06] <Skiessi> crackerjackz, it's the same
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> oh man check this :D
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> http://pkgb.net/recordmydesktop/debian
[12:06] <kelvin911> LGKeiz: is it a mic or webcam?
[12:06] <LGKeiz> I'm not using a webcam
[12:06] <LGKeiz> mic
[12:06] <crackerjackz> i think im missing some packages or libraries
[12:06] <Skiessi> !info recordmydesktop
[12:06] <ubotu> Package recordmydesktop does not exist in gutsy
[12:06] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: laptops usually hate a hardware switch to mute the output...
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> click the link to install app. thats the future :)
[12:06] <Survivorman> crackerjackz, sudo apt-cache search recordmydesktop and see what happens
[12:06] <Skiessi> somebody needs to fix ubotu
[12:06] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: kk
[12:06] <LGKeiz> hmm..
[12:07] <LGKeiz> well
[12:07] <LGKeiz> I could link you to my VNC.
[12:07] <Skiessi> crackerjackz, what version of ubuntu you have?
[12:07] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: it might be useful to see the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:07] <LGKeiz> It's on viewonly though
[12:07] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: omg r u crazyD
[12:07] <crackerjackz> 7.10 (64 bit)
[12:07] <Skiessi> ok good
[12:07] <kelvin911> haha
[12:07] <Survivorman> crackerjackz, System, Administration, Software Sources -- you may need to enable a repo as waylandbill suggested
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: vnc over www is not advised. Its unencrypted unless its done through an ssh tunnel
[12:07] <LGKeiz> RabBit - I turn it off when I dont need it :P
[12:07] <LGKeiz> Yeah, like I just said I only use it when needed.
[12:08] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: i think there is nothing to hack
[12:08] <stevecam> can i get the CD to compile the system for ubuntu?
[12:08] <crackerjackz> survivorman im in software sources
[12:08] <LGKeiz> finally
[12:08] <LGKeiz> fixed it
[12:08] <LGKeiz> nvm
[12:08] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz:  waht was it?
[12:08] <kelvin911> LGKeiz: how did u fix it?
[12:08] <LGKeiz> the last settings in volume settings
[12:08] <LGKeiz> was muted.
[12:08] <kelvin911> pick the right device?
[12:08] <LGKeiz> "Recording"
[12:09] <kelvin911> ok
[12:09] <fx|RabBit> LGKeiz: hehe kk
[12:09] <crackerjackz> i think i fixed it
[12:09] <fx|RabBit> so now someone recommend me a decent webcam pleas!
[12:09] <Survivorman> crackerjackz, are any sources not selected?
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> fx|RabBit: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/cheap-linux-compatible-webcams-173497/
[12:10] <crackerjackz> survivorman all of them werent selected and i selected them all but it still cant find the packages
[12:10] <crackerjackz> that i try to install
[12:10] <kelvin911> the other day a guy come to me and ask me if i can install vista on his P3 128MB ram machine
[12:10] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: sudo apt-get update
[12:10] <fx|RabBit> ActionParsnip: thank you so much m8!
[12:10] <wilbert> why not
[12:10] <Skiessi> crackerjackz, did you update the lists?
[12:10] <kelvin911> its a P3 700 MHz
[12:10] <Survivorman> you may have to sudo apt-get update first
[12:10] <Skiessi> yeah
[12:10] <Survivorman> if not, here is the direct link to the ubuntu package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/all/gtk-recordmydesktop/download
[12:10] <crackerjackz> im running apt-get update right now
[12:11] <Skiessi> it may have requirements
[12:11] <crackerjackz> yes =]
[12:11] <Survivorman> go there and select a mirror if you can't find it
[12:11] <wilbert> is there a problem with the latest packages for ubuntu hardy?
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> crackerjackz: i'd run sudo apt-get upgrade too :)
[12:11] <jrib> !hardy | wilbert
[12:11] <ubotu> wilbert: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu

[12:13] <mernil> Hello linux friends! :-)
[12:13] <crackerjackz> hello mernil
[12:13] <DragonLarma> hi mernil
[12:14] <mernil> i use slackware.. hope that's not a problem ;-)
[12:14] <knifepoint> Hey can anyone point me to a good tutorial to get cgi running in apache?
[12:14] <waylandbill> knifepoint: what language cgi?
[12:15] <ideal> Reading package lists... Done
[12:15] <ideal> Building dependency tree
[12:15] <ideal> Reading state information... Done
[12:15] <ideal> E: Couldn't find package glib
[12:15] <mernil> lamp.org has several good tutors
[12:15] <knifepoint> waylandbill: c++ cgi
[12:15] <mernil> i think it's lamp.org
[12:15] <Adantan_Alex> hi
[12:15] <mernil> hi alex
[12:15] <knifepoint> waylandbill: testing a uni assignment at home so need apache to run the c++ cgi
[12:16] <mernil> but c++ as cgi language..
[12:16] <knifepoint> mernil: yes
[12:17] <mernil> hm.. well.. it's a free country :-)
[12:17] <knifepoint> mernil: had it running at uni which is all set up i just want to do some testing at home
[12:17] <mernil> okay
[12:17] <Duskin> woot
[12:17] <waylandbill> knifepoint: I didn't think there was anything special needed for compiled cgi executables other than being in the cgi folder and having +x permission
[12:17] <Duskin> irc works
[12:17] <Aurora> hello?
[12:17] <eth01> mernil: topic! :)
[12:17] <mernil> eth01: hello there ;-P
[12:17] <Duskin> ubuntu rawks!
[12:17] <Survivorman> ideal, if you tried to sudo apt-get install glib, that won't work. You may need to sudo apt-cache search glib first and get a list of packages. I think it might be libglib2.0-0 or something.
[12:18] <eth01> hiya mernil, just stick on topic
[12:18] <Duskin> ok im outta here to get on my real irc server
[12:18] <mernil> im always on topic!
[12:18] <knifepoint> waylandbill: hmmm well both the folder and file have +x permisions and its not running the program just coming up as a download
[12:18] <Duskin> cyall laters!
[12:18] <dooba> oh sorry folks.  good morning :)
[12:18] <eth01> okay
[12:18] <Duskin> gah
[12:18] <ideal> Yes,I just made it by installing libglib2.0-0
[12:18] <mernil> dooba: good evening
[12:19] <ideal> thanks
[12:19] <Duskin> i didnt mean to come back here at all
[12:19] <Survivorman> np ideal
[12:19] <Smegzor> How good is ubuntu at communicating with usb printers?  It has endless trouble with my HP, but the cable and printer work great on XP.
[12:19] <dooba> oops! i forgot...some are eveing and some are night lol
[12:19] <Duskin> can someone help? im trying to connect to a different irc server
[12:19] <waylandbill> knifepoint: is the file located in the folder designated for cgi scripts as defined in apache's conf file?
[12:19] <Duskin> and im using x-chat
[12:20] <mernil> Duskin: try "/connect" server.org
[12:20] <con-man> Smegzor: Ubuntu should have no more trouble than any other distro of linux
[12:20] <dooba> right now, Duskin?
[12:20] <shauns> motd
[12:20] <mernil> works in irssi
[12:20] <Slart> Smegzor: well.. if it's a proper printer.. with it's own cpu and such, ubuntu probably supports it nicely.. if it's one of those host-based printers where the driver does all the work.. it probably doesn't
[12:20] <knifepoint> waylandbill: didnt know it matter i just created a cgi-bin and slapped it in there ill go check the conf file now
[12:20] <mernil> the numero uno irc-cliento!
[12:20] <Duskin> didnt work
[12:20] <Duskin> and yes, im using it right now
[12:20] <mernil> strange :-/
[12:20] <waylandbill> knifepoint: yup. Can't execute scripts just anywhere. :)
[12:20] <Smegzor> its a HP Photosmart 7450
[12:21] <dooba> sorry but what is that, mernil?
[12:21] <mernil> dooba: irssi.org .. the best irc-client according to me .. and many other
[12:21] <Smegzor> I have the latest HP linux driver for it, but it get better performance with a pencil.
[12:21] <Duskin> nevermind i found it
[12:21] <Duskin> thx though
[12:21] <knifepoint> waylandbill: well thats silly as if security is important :P
[12:21] <mernil> yw
[12:21] <Slart> Smegzor: sounds like a host-based printer to me
[12:22] <Smegzor> I'm pretty sure it is
[12:22] <Slart> Smegzor: but check www.linuxprinting.org
[12:22] <Smegzor> ok
[12:22] <sunbird> hi everyone.
[12:22] <Skiessi> hi
[12:22] <sunbird> don't suppose anyone has the time/energy to help me figure out why 7.10x64
[12:22] <sunbird> won't recognize my internal bluetooth adapter.
[12:23] <Survivorman> Smegzor, do you have hpijs installed?
[12:23] <waylandbill> knifepoint: let me know if that was it. hopefully the uni will teach python for cgi. You'll feel like your in heaven then. :)
[12:23] <Smegzor> Survivorman: yes
[12:23] <alexander> #SLUG
[12:24] <knifepoint> waylandbill: yeah we're hitting up perl for the next assignment so thats a step up
[12:24] <dooba> thanks  for the recommendation! :)
[12:25] <sunbird> $ hcitool scan
[12:25] <sunbird> Device is not available: No such device
[12:25] <sunbird> :(
[12:25] <Slart> knifepoint: perl? a step up?.. oh my.. you're in for a surprise ;)
[12:25] <dooba> I'm very new to Linux and Ubuntu.  Just downloaded v6.06.1 and burnt onto a CD-R.
[12:25] <Survivorman> Smegzor, have you been here: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html
[12:26] <sunbird> the weird thing is... i know it CAN work because i had it working after installing from the live CD>
[12:26] <adrock358> hello all.  ahve a question for you.  just rendered my os (vista) unusable.  I enlarged the partition, then could't boot from it.  i've tried everything.  and my question is, if i install vista on another partition (install it again), will I be able to browse my primary partition from there, transfer my data to my new vista os, and save the day?
[12:26] <sunbird> but then i did a new install from the alternate because i wanted to crypt my install.
[12:26] <dooba> read the ubuntu url and the support page referred me to here.  glad i did
[12:26] <Survivorman> Smegzor, it was referred to from the HP driver page for your printer
[12:26] <waylandbill> knifepoint: perl is written by a linguist. It's ironic because it's unreadable after writing. :)
[12:26] <gejr> dooba: 6.06..if i recall correctly latest version is 8.04. Don't think there's ever been a 6.06.1 ^^
[12:26] <Smegzor> Survivorman: Yeah and I updated to the latest version today - no joy
[12:26] <sunbird> adrock358: is your vista partition also your primary partition?
[12:27] <eth01> perl wasn't designed to be easy.
[12:27] <Survivorman> Smegzor, what seems to be the problem specifically. HP support tends to be great on Ubuntu :(
[12:27] <Smegzor> I don't think its the printer driver.  it seems to be a communications problem and there are log entries about it.
[12:27] <gejr> eth01: that's where you're wrong
[12:27] <eth01> gejr: how could i be wrong about that?
[12:27] <incorrect> is anyone aware of a VPN focused project?
[12:27] <adrock358> the reason why i am in this forum is because I am also an ubuntu user.  I use a dual boot, but had to erase the ubuntu partition too, because i've messed up my system.  so now i want to recover data, and reinstall.
[12:27] <adrock358> sunbird.  yes
[12:27] <knifepoint> waylandbill: yeah it does appear a little hacked up so many ways to do the same thing
[12:27] <dooba> Or was it v6.06.2, gejr?lol...\i can't reemeber fully
[12:27] <eth01> incorrect: openvpn
[12:27] <gejr> it's the primary example of a language that's "supposed to be easy"
[12:27] <incorrect> eth01, distribution
[12:27] <incorrect> like say freeNAS
[12:28] <gejr> eth01: its in the same boat as python and php
[12:28] <sunbird> adrock358: did you back up before resizing the partition?
[12:28] <eth01> incorrect: freenas, ipcop, clarkeconnect
[12:28] <adrock358> sunbird...no
[12:28] <adrock358> sunbird.  of course not.  otherwise i wouldn't be here in the forum
[12:28] <sunbird> adrock358: ack.
[12:28] <eth01> clarkconnect, even
[12:28] <adrock358> sunbird.  i know.
[12:28] <gejr> dooba: whichever it was, you're probably best of downloading the latest release ;) 6.X would indicate it's a release from 2006
[12:28] <adrock358> sunbird.  what
[12:28] <incorrect> i am looking for something like a linux vpn concentrator project
[12:28] <Evil_Ed> yo
[12:28] <zerod> sup
[12:28] <Smegzor> Survivorman: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61917/
[12:28] <dooba> all i remember is that it was the last version of ubuntu 6 before it went to v7.
[12:29] <Smegzor> Those are some of the problems being logged
[12:29] <gejr> dooba: that'd make it 6.10 edgy eft or something like that
[12:29] <eth01> incorrect: clarkconnect
[12:29] <sunbird> adrock358: what was your setup prior to repartitioning?
[12:29] <zerod> ok
[12:29] <adrock358> sunbird.  what's the best way to recover my data?  i tried the data recovery progs on hiren, but they ll seem very time consuming and confusing.
[12:29] <Evil_Ed> interest
[12:29] <dooba> gejr:  noooo....\i didn't chose Edgy Eft due to too high requirements. lol
[12:30] <gejr> dooba: ah..you've downloaded the LTS
[12:30] <adrock358> ubuntu-vista dual boot.  then i resized vista (enlarged it.  then I reinstalled ubuntu.  now, my computer won't boot to anything.  nothing loads.
[12:30] <dooba> correct gejr \;0
[12:30] <eth01> adrock358: mbr broke
[12:30] <crackerjackz> is there a way i can make it to where people cant press F12 when the computer is starting up to keep them from booting off a CD
[12:30] <gejr> dooba: 7.10 is the latest stable obviously. I'd go with that if i were you.
[12:30] <waylandbill> gejr: easy for extraction and report. not to read. I prefer sys.stdin to $_. :)
[12:30] <adrock358> sunbird.  i tried the vista recovery tools, didn't work.  tried to rebuild mbr, that didn't work.  tried to use hiren, that didn't fix it.
[12:30] <Gatestone> What is the state of art in reverse-engineering the Exchange protocol? Why is it that Blacberry, Visto, Smartner, Roadsync and bunch of other 3rd party tools to access Exchange from a phone does exist, but no real exchange client fot Linux? (OWA does not cut it, because out company OWA is behind a non-standard portal, restricted and useless).
[12:30] <eth01> crackerjackz: look at your BIOS. DEL.
[12:30] <incorrect> thanks
[12:31] <Skiessi> crackerjackz, probably not
[12:31] <crackerjackz> eth01 what would i be looking for in there?
[12:31] <DistroJockey> adrock358: this may be worth a look:  http://www.sysresccd.org
[12:31] <sunbird> adrock358: sorry. i had a similar problem in november and wasn't able to recover anything. :(
[12:31] <lksl> hi
[12:31] <eth01> Gatestone: there wouldn't seem a need to do so, so-to-speak.
[12:31] <gejr> waylandbill: and that's where you're correct. Perl is not necessarily easy to read:)
[12:31] <LadyNikon> abackup.. backup..backup
[12:31] <adrock358> sunbird. ubuntu-vista dual boot.  then i resized vista (enlarged it.  then I reinstalled ubuntu.  now, my computer won't boot to anything.  nothing loads.
[12:31] <dooba> gejr: v7.10 was too high requirement. :(  i don't have the latest computer.
[12:31] <Skiessi> crackerjackz, but you can make BIOS boot only from CD and add a passward for changing the settings
[12:31] <eth01> crackerjackz: well, nothing really. what bios is it?
[12:31] <kane77> dooba, what computer do you have?
[12:31] <LadyNikon> adrock358: please dont repeat yourself.
[12:31] <gejr> dooba: it's linux. Who cares about requirements? How crappy is this computer?
[12:31] <crackerjackz> eth01 im not sure which bios it is
[12:32] <Survivorman> Smegzor, from what I read (things such as the media jam error" and after googling a bit, it seems it might be a hardware issue more than likely
[12:32] <dooba> my computer?  crappy?  hardly gejr lol
[12:32] <crackerjackz> you see i had to reinstall ubuntu cuz some dickwad stuck a windows cd in it
[12:32] <Survivorman> *)
[12:32] <dooba> it works still good :)
[12:32] <sunbird> adrock358: if you repartitioned and did an install after the partition, you may have overwritten the files.
[12:32] <eth01> crackerjackz: somebody just suggested it. boot only from your HDD, and password protect BIOS wholly.
[12:32] <Slart> dooba: if you turn off the bling bling you can run 7.10 on almost anything..
[12:32] <crackerjackz> and i want to prevent that from happening again
[12:32] <gejr> all i know is that if you have an ancient pentium processor, don't go with gentoo.
[12:32] <gejr> or worse, for that matter
[12:32] <adrock358> distrojockey, eth01.  isn't there a way to install another os, then look at my files on the vista partition?  then i could back them up.
[12:32] <lksl> hi i got ubuntu on livecd and on thehard disk
[12:32] <lksl> how to check i m running on what ?
[12:32] <Survivorman> Smegzor, if indeed there is no jam and you have paper, etc
[12:32] <eth01> adrock358: hm
[12:32] <crackerjackz> thank you eth01
[12:32] <Acomaco> howto run a shell upon boot?
[12:32] <gejr> adrock358: you could use a live cd for that
[12:32] <Acomaco> with root rights
[12:33] <knifepoint> waylandbill: its not good if my httpd.conf file is empty right?
[12:33] <Gatestone> eth01, 1000 million people work for companies that use Exchange mail. Do you say there is no need for them to access that from Linux?
[12:33] <joep> I'm back.
[12:33] <Skiessi> huh what did eth01 do?
[12:33] <DistroJockey> adrock358: that link I provided should do that
[12:33] <dooba> gejr: i have Pentium 2 @ 400mhz.  390 mb RAM
[12:33] <Slart> lksl: well.. you could check where your root drive is mounted from
[12:33] <Smegzor> Survivorman: its definitely not jamming :(
[12:33] <Acomaco> knifepoint it doesn't matter..
[12:33] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: disable booting from CD in the bios, or remove the cd drive entirely.
[12:33] <AlabamaHit> Hello
[12:33] <gejr> dooba: sounds more than sufficient for ubuntu 7.10^^
[12:33] <Slart> lksl: cat /etc/mtab might work
[12:33] <adrock358> sunbird.  but my vista os, still shows up as an os.  i didn't overwrite the files at all.  they are all still there, I am sure of it.  it's just that my os won't load for some reason.
[12:33] <DistroJockey> adrock358: a live cd is what it is
[12:33] <Slart> dooba: indeed.. go with 7.10
[12:33] <Smegzor> I'll change the cable, u never know..
[12:33] <eth01> Gatestone: i'm not debating it in here :)
[12:33] <joep> I installed exaile and loaded some .wav files but no sound. Any suggestions?
[12:33] <eth01> Skiessi: what?
[12:33] <dooba> i take it 7.10 is the consensus? lol :)
[12:34] <prodigel> Hi. I'm searching for some way to add a new item to right-click menu like send-to -> floppy that runs a script for mount/copy/umount actions. Do you know an efficient method for this?
[12:34] <Slart> dooba: I'm running xubuntu on a mini-itx machine.. 600mhz with 256 mb.. works nicely
[12:34] <Survivorman> Smegzor, are you on a hub?
[12:34] <adrock358> distrojockey.  I am on my livecd, and my internet connec crashes if i open a browser window in addition to another internet app.  (darn usb wifi).
[12:34] <lksl> ok thx Slart
[12:34] <knifepoint> Acomaco: so if i put one line ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/ in it ill be fine?
[12:34] <crackerjackz> also im looking for a way to padlock my computer case so no one can access my HD
[12:34] <waylandbill> is it empty, or is it nonexistent?
[12:34] <Smegzor> no its connected to usb on my pc
[12:34] <AlabamaHit> I have a question I thought I saw an option earlier now I can't find it. That I could make a Live CD from my install of linux I have now. I have 7.10...Am I mistaken or is there a way to do this?
[12:34] <crackerjackz> any one know of a case that already exist thats made for keeping people out
[12:34] <fernando> Hi!
[12:34] <gejr> crackerjackz: like..rig it with explosives and metal-eating acid?
[12:34] <adrock358> gejr, a windows livecd, or a linux live cd?
[12:34] <crackerjackz> lol gejr
[12:35] <Matic`Makovec> Hrm....when I try to connect to my mobile phone over bluetooth it says obex://etc is not a valid location. Any idea how to solve this?
[12:35] <sunbird> adrock358: plug in ethernet?
[12:35] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: there are cases that take padlocks, but someone who wants in will get in
[12:35] <gejr> adrock358: definately a linux live cd. Is there such a thing as a windows live cd?
[12:35] <fernando> there is a mistake on an ubuntu aplication update ...someone could correct it?
[12:35] <Smegzor> Survivorman: it worked great on XPee running in VirtualBox but I'm now using the OSE version so no USB.

[12:35] <Survivorman> Smegzor, then perhaps try the new cable. It seems it may very well be a cable/usb issue
[12:35] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: is it located in a public place or something?
[12:35] <DistroJockey> gejr: yeah, there is
[12:35] <crackerjackz> waylandbill this is true but itll help
[12:35] <crackerjackz> waylandbill no its in my bed room
[12:35] <adrock358> sunbird.  that's in my dad's room.  it's too early to go in there.  7:00am or so here.... :)
[12:35] <crackerjackz> but im a very untrusting person
[12:36] <dooba> ok.  so then I'll have to put in a 650Mhz P3 . lol
[12:36] <Survivorman> Smegzor, it's beyond me. Good luck
[12:36] <crackerjackz> exspecially after what happened yesterday
[12:36] <Smegzor> thanks :)
[12:36] <DistroJockey> gejr: it's called winpe
[12:36] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: you must have a high traffic bedroom.
[12:36] <Gudarnasgud> need a little help here
[12:36] <Slart> crackerjackz: well.. many cases have premade holes for running metal wires through them..  I've used those where I work (school)
[12:36] <crackerjackz> waylandbill yes i have alot of people in and out of my house
[12:36] <adrock358> gejr.  how would I get info on doing that?  what I want to do is put in on another partition....or my ipod...one or the other.  I'd like to create a new partition, then put it on that.
[12:36] <sunbird> adrock358: hurm. live cd is the best bet. wish i could give you better advice. it's so frustrating dealing with potential data loss.
[12:37] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: guess you need to start doing background checks. :)

[12:37] <abhi_> can anyone help me edit MIME types? I want to remove a MIME type. what are the steps?
[12:37] <abhi_> i want to remove a MIME type for GNOME to be more specific
[12:37] <fernando> is there a PT group for ubuntu?
[12:37] <Slart> pt?
[12:37] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: I have plenty of visitors, but i can't say they make it to my bedroom.
[12:37] <crackerjackz> i would just say no ones allowed in the house but its not my house so cant really have a say so on that

[12:37] <crackerjackz> well when im here i can watch things
[12:37] <crackerjackz> but when im gone is what im worried about
[12:38] <adrock358> gejr.  what i want to do is resize the windows partition to free up some space, then put my info on that partion, then erase windows, then install vista and ubuntu again.  but i will need to see the data from one of the os's.
[12:38] <adrock358> sunbird.  no prob.  Thanks a lot man.

[12:38] <dooba> Just tired of Windoze and I need a change.  That's why I came here for help and advise.
[12:38] <Robeijksjdskdj> hi! i've got a bad problem on Gutsy: I changed the login screen, and now I can't log in at all: when starting, it says "Greeter application crashed, attempting to use another one" - upon which I get the same error message, in a loop... i'm online using live-cd...
[12:38] <kane77> abhi_, afaik mime types are stored in /usr/share/mime/

[12:38] <pihhan> hello
[12:38] <AlabamaHit> I have a question I thought I saw an option earlier now I can't find it. That I could make a Live CD from my install of linux I have now. I have 7.10...Am I mistaken or is there a way to do this?
[12:39] <crackerjackz> dooba before you switch to linux i would look up all your hardware first
[12:39] <waylandbill> crackerjackz: that sounds like a good plan.
[12:39] <IdleOne> !clone  | AlabamaHit
[12:39] <ubotu> AlabamaHit: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[12:39] <pihhan> is there known and simple way to set some metric to all network manager routes?
[12:39] <joep> Is somebody here with knowledge about the ubuntu way of using sound boards. My version (64-bit ubuntu 7.10) doesn't want to see the Sb board although lspci shows it's recognized.

[12:40] <DistroJockey> adrock358: Using  sudo fdisk -l  , find the NTFS device name, then mount it (e.g.    mkdir /mnt/vista && mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/vista  )
[12:40] <pihhan> joep: lspci list only devices in slots, you need to find driver for your card, or tell us what model you have
[12:40] <kane77> Freakylinks, sudo aptitude install amsn doesn't work?
[12:40] <waylandbill> joep: did you look at 'dmesg' and verify that the card is not found? if so, you want to 'lsmod' and see if the module was loaded into the kernel
[12:40] <DistroJockey> adrock358: try that if you haven't first^
[12:40] <adrock358> distrojockey.  ok waht next?
[12:41] <adrock358> distrojockey.  ok.  i will
[12:41] <adrock358> distrojockey.  then i can repartition some things and move my data to a new aprtition?
[12:41] <Adantan_Alex> someone help lol
[12:41] <knifepoint> waylandbill: Im gonna go sit in my corner now... i was testing the file on my desktop which wasn't on apache hence why it wouldnt open
[12:41] <Freakylinks> kane77: yeah but i install with everything right.. although when i try to star the app, a output error pop out telling me about a tcxcimage...sometin like that..
[12:41] <knifepoint> waylandbill: works fine now.... :P
[12:41] <joep> Thanks for the suggestions. I will do an lsmod for the Sb modules.
[12:41] <DistroJockey> adrock358: I wouldn't try repartitioning until you have a backup
[12:41] <Robeijksjdskdj> could someone help me? hi! i've got a bad problem on Gutsy: I changed the login screen, and now I can't log in at all: when starting, it says "Greeter application crashed, attempting to use another one" - upon which I get the same error message, in a loop... i'm online using live-cd...

[12:42] <adrock358> distrojeckey.  then only space i have free is a 50 gb partition.  i suppose that will suffice.  i can move the data to that part. right?
[12:42] <gejr> adrock358: sounds complicated. I'd move everything i wanted onto a usb stick or external HD and wipe the whole disk and repartition it.

[12:43] <joep> Yes I did that and as far as I can see all modules referring to sound are there.
[12:43] <Slart> Adantan_Alex: take a deep breath.. then explain your problem on one line if possible.. keep your finger off that enter-key until you're done explaining =)

[12:43] <Robeijksjdskdj> i can't reinstall my system because I'd lose music/pictures/videos, I can't backup those things because it won't give me access from the livecd. how do I change permissions?

[12:44] <Slart> Robeijksjdskdj: what kind of filesystem is on the drive you're trying to access
[12:44] <Robeijksjdskdj> could someone help me?  i've got a bad problem on Gutsy: I changed the login screen, and now I can't log in at all: when starting, it says "Greeter application crashed, attempting to use another one" - upon which I get the same error message, in a loop... i'm online using live-cd...
[12:45] <Robeijksjdskdj> um, i think ext3
[12:45] <Robeijksjdskdj> don't know exactly
[12:45] <adrock358> gejr.  i only have my thirty gig ipod.  but that could work if i put some data on another hd i have, and do that twice.  gejr.  so what you are saying is I can move the data to my ipod from the ubuntu livecd?
[12:45] <Robeijksjdskdj> default gutsy install
[12:45] <guycook> Do I want to use "Twin View" for dual monitors in ubuntu?
[12:45] <Dr_willis> guycook,  if you have a nvidia card - yes.
[12:45] <Slart> Robeijksjdskdj: probably ext3 then.. but I can't figure out why the live cd wouldn't let you access an ext3-partition..
[12:45] <gejr> adrock358: i've never tried to mount an ipod from a live cd, but if you manage to do that, then yes. It'd definately work.
[12:45] <Robeijksjdskdj> i can access the partition
[12:45] <guycook> So that I can drag from one screen to the other right Dr_willis ?
[12:45] <pihhan> Lainy: it does not work this way, you have to find source with newer package, or some backport for gutsy. Package from debian sid might be different
[12:45] <waylandbill> Lainy: you will run into dependency hell using debian sid packages. Why not build from source from project's site?
[12:46] <guycook> Yes i'ts nvidia
[12:46] <Dr_willis> guycook,  twinview can make both monitors one big wide screen
[12:46] <adrock358> gejr.  yeah, my ipod is mounted already.  that sounds awesome.  how would i go about doing that?
[12:46] <Lainy> pihhan, waylandbill: Okay, thanks.
[12:46] <Adantan_Alex> any way i want to install xubuntu and the task bar wont show.... my computer has 256 megabytes of memory and so if i install it will it show?
[12:46] <Robeijksjdskdj> i can access my home folder... but not the folders of music, video, etc
[12:46] <Dr_willis> !twinview | guycook
[12:46] <ubotu> guycook: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[12:46] <Adantan_Alex> i checked the disc and its good
[12:46] <elbermungsterses> hi, how do you empty your /var/cache/apt/archives?
[12:46] <Dr_willis> guycook,  twinview replaces 'xinerama' :) in funcationality
[12:46] <adrock358> distrojockey.  the way gejr is descriving sounds easeier.  i think I'd like to do that.
[12:46] <dooba> ok.  this channel is probably a bit too much to ask here for me as a beginner. lol! :)    Maybe emailing is better?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Robeijksjdskdj: check the owner
[12:46] <Survivorman> Robeijksjdskdj, you could open nautilus as root?
[12:47] <pihhan> Lainy: try to find same package from ubuntu 8 beta, that would be better choice. you might need recompile them however
[12:47] <waylandbill> elbermungsterses: sudo apt-get autoclean
[12:47] <DistroJockey> adrock358: pastebin the output of  sudo fdisk -l  please?
[12:47] <fernando> is someone here able to talk about pt ubuntu server?
[12:47] <Robeijksjdskdj> hm. it says owner is "1000"
[12:47] <joep> pibhan: yes I have /dev/dsp and I have found that lspci gives the various slots for the SB card although ububtu apparently doesn't want to use lspci -i but uses some database file in usr/share/misc.
[12:47] <adrock358> distrojockey.  sorry for the misspelling.  there's like 10 things on my desk right now that are in my way.
[12:47] <DistroJockey> adrock358: fair enough
[12:47] <Lainy> pihhan: Alright.
[12:47] <guycook> Dr_willis, thanks I"m finding now that I need to run nvidia-settings as root it seems
[12:47] <DistroJockey> adrock358: np
[12:47] <guycook> Dr_willis, or I mean sudo right?
[12:47] <Adantan_Alex> any way i want to install xubuntu and the task bar wont show.... my computer has 256 megabytes of memory and so if i install it will it show?
[12:47] <Adantan_Alex> i checked the disc and its good
[12:47] <gejr> adrock358: i guess the ipod can be used like an external harddrive. Just create a folder on it and copy your music/documents/pictures/porn there :) at least that's how other mp3 players i've used works
[12:47] <Dr_willis> guycook,  since its a 'system setting' kind of tool.. that makes logical sence. :)
[12:48] <Survivorman> in a terminal can you sudo nautilus /home/yourhome/ and gain access from the livecd that way?
[12:48] <Robeijksjdskdj> @survivorman ok, so you mean rebooting into failsafe mode and then doing "nautilus"
[12:48] <dooba> hi lin
[12:48] <Robeijksjdskdj> ?
[12:48] <pihhan> joep: does  aplay -l show something interesting, without error?
[12:48] <waylandbill> pihhan: probably would need to get that from backports. I'm sure trying a hardy package would have unsatisfied dependencies.
[12:48] <adrock358> gejr.  but how do i mount my hd partition so that I can copy info from it.  i think i have to be root.
[12:48] <Adantan_Alex> can someone help?
[12:48] <Robeijksjdskdj> i'll try
[12:48] <b4l74z4r> is there a way to get ubuntu to set turn on num lock by default, like windows does?
[12:48] <Survivorman> Robeijksjdskdj, you should be able to get root access in a livecd session.
[12:48] <Survivorman> I think
[12:48] <DistroJockey> adrock358: I gave those instructions :)
[12:48] <adrock358> gejr.  it won't mount my hd.
[12:48] <LGKeiz> Whats a good music player for ubuntu that supports alot of codecs >.>;

[12:49] <adrock358> distrojockey.  ok, let me try that.  thanks.
[12:49] <joep> pibhan: yes: it says: device list:204 no soundcards found..
[12:49] <DistroJockey> adrock358: np
[12:49] <Slart> LGKeiz: what kind of sound files do you want to play?
[12:49] <gejr> adrock358: sudo mount /dev/sd<tab><tab> /mnt/whatever_directory
[12:49] <adrock358> gejr.  i'm going to try to mount with distr's instructions.
[12:49] <Acomaco> LGKeiz, vlc
[12:49] <Survivorman> if think the root password is root on a livecd session Robeijksjdskdj
[12:49] <LGKeiz> though so
[12:49] <gejr> might need to add a -t ntfs there
[12:49] <Slart> LGKeiz: audacious, xmms, amarok, mpd
[12:49] <Acomaco> LGKeiz amarok is nice also

[12:50] <Slart> gooody: well.. my telepathy is a bit rusty.. we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way.. you'll have to tell me what the problem is
[12:50] <Robeijksjdskdj> @Survivorman thanks, that worked.

[12:52] <mernil> Hi all btw! :-)
[12:52] <pihhan> LGKeiz: are you sure you have correct settings in vlc? does vlc play sounds with other files?
[12:52] <guycook> Dr_willis, the nvidia-settings in sudo from the prompt doesn't 'see' the 2nd monitor?

[12:52] <adrock358> distrojockey http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62009/

[12:52] <guycook> Dr_willis, doesn't detect it?
[12:52] <Adantan_Alex> i checked the disc and it work
[12:52] <Survivorman> I'm not an expert here, but does anyone know if reconfiguring or reinstalling gdm would fix Robeijksjdskdj greeter crashing problem potentially?
[12:52] <Adantan_Alex> works*
[12:52] <mernil> Slart: i meant pidgin .. old habits die hard.. :-)
[12:52] <LGKeiz> pihhan; >.>;..uhm
[12:52] <LGKeiz> let me check.
[12:52] <adrock358> distrojockey.  i followed your instructs, but i ahve to be root.
[12:52] <Slart> mernil: =)
[12:53] <Dr_willis> guycook,  you have 2 video cards? or 1 card with 2  video outs? - I normally use the nvidia-xconfig tool to enable twinview from the command line.
[12:53] <pihhan> Survivorman: if he does purge on uninstalation, propably yes, it should fix it
[12:53] <collo> collo
[12:53] <Slart> gooody: to install screenlets.. hmm.. hang on
[12:53] <dooba> ok.  is there an email addy i can ask for help then?  thanks. :)
[12:53] <gooody> i want to know how to install screenlets in ubuntu gutsy
[12:53] <adrock358> distrojockey.  brb
[12:53] <DistroJockey> adrock358: ohh, I get the same, sorry
[12:54] <LGKeiz> um what settings do I need to chang ein VLC
[12:54] <Survivorman> so sudo aptitude purge gdm and then sudo apt-get install gdm?
[12:54] <collo> is this the only room?
[12:54] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[12:54] <dooba> lo dok :)
[12:54] <JoeLinux117> gooody: sudo aptitude install screenlets
[12:54] <doktoreas> anyone knows a software that generates a diagram from a postgreSQL db?
[12:54] <Robeijksjdskdj> @pihhan so you think i should reboot into failsafe mode and then "sudo aptitude purge gdm and then sudo apt-get install gdm"?
[12:54] <LGKeiz> pihhan; what settings do I need to change?
[12:54] <Slart> gooody: try searching for screenlets in synaptic (system, administration, synaptic package manager)
[12:55] <guycook> Dr_willis, I have one card with 2 outputs one analog and one digital
[12:55] <Survivorman> Robeijksjdskdj, back the stuff up first, then give it a try
[12:55] <sunbird> which FS should i use for a 150GB backup drive? i need to backup my machine (ubuntu/osx DB) and my partner's machine (windows), so i need it to be reliably writable in (at least) windows and ubuntu.
[12:55] <Robeijksjdskdj> ok, shall do.
[12:55] <pihhan> Robeijksjdskdj: you should switch to terminal before, dont do that from running session
[12:55] <guycook> Dr_willis, nvidia-xconfig at the prompt as sudo right?
[12:55] <Robeijksjdskdj> @pihhan when i reboot into failsafe all i have is a terminal.... is that what you mean?
[12:55] <pihhan> Robeijksjdskdj: alt+ctrl+f1 to terminal, it should be safe from there
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: does play work? does amarok work?
[12:56] <Robeijksjdskdj> ok, i'll try that then
[12:56] <Dr_willis> guycook, since its a 'system wide' type config tool... of course. :)
[12:56] <Slart> sunbird: well.. windows is a bit picky when it comes to file systems.. there is drivers for ext3 for windows but I don't know how good they are
[12:56] <Survivorman> thanks for the help pihhan

[12:56] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[12:56] <Robeijksjdskdj> yeah, thanks pihhan and surivorman!!
[12:56] <LGKeiz> ..I hit play on VLC
[12:56] <LGKeiz> and ..
[12:56] <Survivorman> np Robeijksjdskdj
[12:56] <LGKeiz> it moves, the progress bar, but no sound :p
[12:56] <joep> Robeijsksjkdj: Linux doesn't know anything about failsave: tha's MS talk. In Linux you sart in console mode. I think that you should do that and start looking in the problem.
[12:56] <pihhan> Robeijksjdskdj: yes, you need text terminal
[12:56] <Dr_willis> The ext3 driver for windows works decently well.
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: is the volume up on evceything
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> speakers on
[12:57] <mernil> i prefer reiserFS .. it's a killer filesystem!
[12:57] <Dr_willis> failsafe mode under linux = you append the 'single' option to the kernel boot optiuons. so you just get a shell.. heh heh
[12:57] <dooba> thanks folks.  I'll be back sometime soon :)
[12:57] <LGKeiz> yep
[12:57] <LGKeiz> or I wouldnt be on skype right now
[12:57] <LGKeiz> lol
[12:57] <Slart> mernil: well.. it's creator seems to be at least ;)
[12:57] <guycook> Dr_willis, when I type sudo nvidia-xconfig it just comes back to the prompt after backing up the X11/xorg.conf file
[12:57] <gooody> i found screenlets in gnome-look.org but i don't know how to install them
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> ok so its VLC config that needs tweeaking only, yes?
[12:57] <mernil> Slart: mm ;-)
[12:57] <Slart> bah.. it's... its..
[12:58] <pihhan> joep: not exactly, ubuntu makes grub entries and i think it does call them recovery mode, it is similar to safe mode from user view
[12:58] <sunbird> Slart, mernil: i know reiser isn't writable in windows, but is it readable?
[12:58] <Dr_willis> guycook,  you need to give it the proper optiions as to what you want to set.  i 'think' the option is --twinview - check its advanced HELP docs with  nvidia-xconfig  -A (i think)
[12:58] <mernil> sunbird: no idea, i would say no
[12:58] <Survivorman> goody, you need to install screenlets first. Then you can run screenletsmanager I think to install them
[12:58] <pihhan> sunbird: with free drivers i believe it is not even readable
[12:58] <LGKeiz> ActionParsnip probably.
[12:58] <joep> Robeijsksjkdj: If you are in graphic mode type shift-Ctrl-1 and you are in the first console screen.
[12:59] <Dr_willis> guycook,  you may wan tbo backup your existing/working xorg.conf file first also.
[12:59] <guycook> Dr_willis, that backup was done already on my first try
[12:59] <guycook> Dr_willis, I'll try the HELP docs, this should be easier I"m thinking :)
[12:59] <Dr_willis> guycook,  i perfer to keep my own archived backups. :) i dont  trust the things
[12:59] <pihhan> dont you know if there is recently new intel i950 driver able to run games using recent wine?
[12:59] <Dr_willis> guycook,  takes me all of 20 sec or so to get a new system working with twinview. :)
[12:59] <Slart> mernil: I have no idea.. never tried
[13:00] <sunbird> mernil, pihhan: thx for the info.
[13:00] <Robeijksjdskdj> shift-ctrl-1 or alt-ctrl-f1?
[13:00] <guycook> ah so I just have to create a user :)
[13:00] <Dr_willis> guycook,  sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview
[13:00] <mernil> Slart and sunbird .. i dont know.. i just have windows when i look att pr0n.. so.. ;-)
[13:00] <gooody> how can i install screenlets in synaptic?
[13:00] <Dr_willis> guycook,  you DID have the 2nd monitor plugged in when you booted the system?
[13:00] <juan_> hey i setup a http server to copy files over from an broken laptop, how do i do this, is wget the best way?
[13:01] <LGKeiz> ok I hear ubuntu sounds now
[13:01] <LGKeiz> but no VLC sounds.
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: check out your /var/xorg.0.log
[13:01] <idealab_loco> Hello
[13:01] <Dr_willis> !screenlets
[13:01] <ubotu> Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/
[13:01] <gejr> juan_: from linux to linux? what's wrong with nfs?
[13:01] <LGKeiz> It's empty Action
[13:01] <joep> pihhan: apparently no sound devices are registered any idea where to look?
[13:01] <guycook> Dr_willis, yes, the 2nd monitor is on and plugged in
[13:01] <gejr> juan_: or..don't you have root access?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: Pretty easy fix. Hardy uses the pulseaudio sound system by default and VLC is trying to use ALSA as the vlc pulseaudio plugin isn't installed by default. Install the package "vlc-plugin-pulse" and VLC will play nice with everything else.
[13:02] <Dr_willis> guycook,  ive seen some nvidia cards. that do not like it if you plug in the monitor AFTER the system has allready booted.
[13:02] <Tu13es> hm, how can I run something in the background in terminal so that it doesn't quit when I close the terminal window?
[13:02] <gejr> juan_: even ftp in would be simpler than setting up a httpd..well well..it's a matter of taste i suppose
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> Tu13es: use command &
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> e.g. firefox &
[13:02] <Dr_willis> Tu13es,  use command &  and   the exit command, do NOT use the close button
[13:02] <juan_> i have root access, but no screen, i borrowed a monitor so i just set up a http server as its the fasted thing to do, how would i set up an ftp server
[13:02] <mernil> but im now running on a 416 Mhz.. processor with 196Mhz memory .. but.. i do have a 3 Gighertz processor + 2 Gig memory within armreach.. but i cant get it to work..
[13:02] <Slart> Tu13es: well.. you can use the nohup command.. but that is evil in its own way... just the & won't keep it running after you close the terminal
[13:02] <Tu13es> ah
[13:02] <Tu13es> exit it is
[13:03] <Tu13es> maybe?
[13:03]  * Tu13es tries
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> juan_:  install ftpd :)
[13:03] <gooody> what is the minimum system requirements in order to install compiz, beryl or others?
[13:03] <Dr_willis> juan_,  i would think setting up a ssh server would be faster. :)
[13:03] <mernil> f00king annoying i must say :-/
[13:03] <pihhan> joep: give me output of "lspci | grep -i audio" and i can help you find, if there exists working driver for your card
[13:03] <gejr> Dr_willis: transferring huge files over the encrypted ssh is a pita.
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> gooody: not that much. if your system is 4 years old or younger its fine
[13:03] <Slart> Tu13es: you can run it with another process as the parent.. I can't really remember the command now.. but there is a way
[13:03] <juan_> ActionParsnip: then how do i get it to host my /home
[13:03] <LGKeiz> Ok I apt-get that, but what do I do next?
[13:03] <Dr_willis> gejr,  but its easy to setup. :)
[13:03] <guycook> Dr_willis, I will try to figure out if I have x-chat on that ubuntu install so I'm seeing your text there instead of here on this computer.
[13:03] <b4l74z4r> when i right click and select properties for a file link in nautilus i'm not able to see the full path that it links to, only the last few directories, what shoul i do to see the full path?
[13:04] <juan_> in kde setting up http was drag and drop
[13:04] <Dr_willis> guycook,  sudo apt-get install xchat :)
[13:04] <mernil> what does puta means in spanish?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> juan_: you config the ftp to start the server at your home drive

[13:05] <LGKeiz> ..sorry for talking like this.
[13:05] <guycook> Dr_willis, now I'm on the ubuntu computer
[13:05] <x3rox> Hello, can somebody, please, tell me how to configure a static IP address and routing on the command line in ubuntu 7 server?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: M = mute in VLC
[13:05] <gejr> x3rox: set static ip: ifconfig <interface> <ipaddress>
[13:06] <gejr> simple as that
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> LGKeiz: http://www.keyxl.com/aaa4cff/235/VLC-keyboard-shortcuts.htm
[13:06] <gooody> can i run compiz fusion or beryl on a pentium 4 PC with a built-in  videocard?
[13:06] <juan_> yes
[13:06] <LGKeiz> Okay, I must be stupid or something, only the left ear peice is working.
[13:06] <LGKeiz> nvm got it.
[13:06] <x3rox> I meant that the machine automatically starts with a static IP address...
[13:06] <LGKeiz> Thanks.
[13:06] <gejr> gooody: it'd depend mostly on the quality of that videocard
[13:06] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[13:07] <gejr> i tried it on an integrated intel gpu with a better processor than you have, and it was pretty slow.
[13:07] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Hold on, let me pull up my Ubuntu 7.10 Server's file...
[13:07] <Tu13es> hm, how do I tell my wifi to stop freaking scanning for APs? I'm not even using wifi.
[13:07] <adrock358> distrojockey you there?
[13:07] <DistroJockey> adrock358: yup
[13:07] <x3rox> JoeLinux117: looks currently very "DHCP"... Which syntax does it need?
[13:08] <collo> rachelle
[13:08] <adrock358> distrojockey what should i do?
[13:08] <DistroJockey> adrock358: try    sudo mkdir /mnt/vistamnt    then    sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/vistamnt    (change /dev/sda1 to your vista/ntfs device name, you can use something else in place of vistamnt too if you like)
[13:08] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Do you see a line in the file that looks like "auto lo"?
[13:08] <guycook> Dr_willis, ERROR: Cannot open display 'guycook-ubuntux64:0.0 when I type sudo nvidia-settings at the prompt
[13:08] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Is "lo" the only interface specified in the file?  Because that would default all other interfaces to DHCP.
[13:09] <guycook> Dr_willis, maybe my efforts have installed 32bit nvidia stuff on the x64 ubuntu?
[13:09] <gooody> how will i know the quality of a video or graphics card?
[13:09] <x3rox> JoeLinux117: Yes. It is followed by a line "iface eth0 inet dhcp", I assume here I must edit, but I don't know what to enter here (I usually use SuSE)
[13:09] <pihhan> joep: try to sudo modprobe snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec, then check dmesg|tail if it report new sound card
[13:09] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Oh ok, perfect.  Change "dhcp" to "static"
[13:09] <PowerTeam> Hi
[13:09] <gasbag> what causes jackd to get forked when i run audacity?
[13:09] <guycook> Dr_willis, maybe not I do have one monitor that is twice as wide I can 'scroll' as it if was 2 screens in one space.
[13:09] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Then under that, you need to add parameters, like "address <IP_ADDRESS>"
[13:10] <adrock358> distrojockey http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62012/
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> gooody: you'll need to either look at it physically or find out in the operating system
[13:10] <adrock358> distrojockey, says i need to be root
[13:10] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Using that same syntax, "<parameter> <value>", add lines for "address", "netmask", "network", "broadcast", "gateway"
[13:10] <x3rox> And how do I set then the netmask and default GW ?
[13:10] <Dr_willis> guycook,    you perhaps need to do 'gksudo nvidia-settings' not sudio
[13:10] <adrock358> distrojockey.  i tried what you said
[13:10] <rachelle> hi everyone
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> !hi | rachelle
[13:10] <ubotu> rachelle: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[13:11] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: "netmask <IP_ADDRESS>", then under that, "gateway <IP_ADDRESS>", for example.
[13:11] <Dr_willis> guycook,  I have my monitiors set up where i just grab a window and move it to the 2nd monitor..  :)
[13:11] <LadyNikon> heya rachelle
[13:11] <rachelle> thanx!
[13:11] <LadyNikon> thats is the laziest trigger ever
[13:11] <maek> !gksudo
[13:11] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[13:11] <guycook> Dr_willis, that's what I'm trying to do too,
[13:11] <rachelle> omg i am soooo fried
[13:11] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: And you probably need automatic DNS servers set up, because you won't have DHCP doing it for you, right?
[13:12] <Dr_willis> guycook,  all i normnally have to do - is isntall the nvidia drivers, then run that  'sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview' then restart the X server
[13:12] <mernil> man.. it's to much technical talk here
[13:12] <x3rox> Netmask is: <IP_ADDRESS> --> Which broadcast may I use, or is this not mandatory?
[13:12] <pihhan> joep: you might look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370458 , that guy it seems same hardware as you and might be relevant for you
[13:12] <DistroJockey> adrock358: getting there. the last command you tried will need a sudo infront also, but as the error states, it may be dangerous
[13:12] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: I don't think you HAVE to use broadcast, but I always put it just for completeness sake.
[13:12] <Dr_willis> mernil,  what kind of talk would you rather be seeing?
[13:12] <Activeobserver> hello, i am really new with ubuntu and irc, and i was wondering if anyone can help me set up my wireless connection for a macbook intell
[13:12] <rachelle> am i purple?
[13:13] <guycook> Dr_willis, I have the drivers, I'll try that command, just log off to restart the x server or shut down all the way?
[13:13] <joep> pihhan: I did the modprobe as root (I am not accustomed to sud0) and it is apparently not installed as dmesg also didn't show anything.
[13:13] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: To get your DNS servers, add two more lines, "dns-nameservers <space-separated list of nameservers>"

[13:13] <polishpaul> hey guys, i have a lenovo T61 with Ubuntu - i have a problem when i come out of 'sleep' my network interfaces are down and i have to restart network services each time. Any ideas?
[13:13] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Then under that, "dns-search <domain>", if you wish to specify that.
[13:13] <Dr_willis> mernil,  thats #debian  :P

[13:16] <sunbird> polishpaul: did you try adding your network modules to /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[13:16] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Oh, just to mention, I just realized that on another Ubuntu server I have, I only have address, netmask, and gateway specified.  So I guess you don't necessarily NEED the other ones.
[13:16] <joep> Thanks pihhan I will go there.

[13:20] <Dr_willis> guycook,   under the next release - i dont think those tools are isntalled by default.  just rember 'nvidia<tab>' in the shell
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Activeobserver: as long as its for that broadcom chip its fine

[13:21] <Dr_willis> lksl,  you could SUMMARIZE the actual problem a bit...
[13:21] <LadyNikon> lksl: if you dont get an answer here.. please try the forums
[13:21] <Slart> lksl: shesh.. give us a chance to actually answer before you start repeating
[13:21] <Slart> lksl: you're running from the live cd
[13:21] <Pici> crackerjackz_: You can ask here.
[13:22] <sunbird> polishpaul: sorry. i'm a noob myself. for my atheros wireless, i had to add MODULES="ath_pci" under the modules variable in /etc/default/acpi-support, but i'm not sure how to find yours. :( i'm sure someone else does....
[13:22] <Dr_willis> crackerjackz #ssh perhaps? depends on the question.
[13:22] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: ah
[13:22] <crackerjackz_> im trying to figure out how to install ssh on ubuntu
[13:22] <alexis_>  /server irc.tin.it
[13:22] <Pici> crackerjackz_: sudo apt-get install ssh
[13:22] <Dr_willis> crackerjackz fire up the package manager, search for ssh,
[13:22] <Pici> alexis_: ditch the space in front of /server
[13:22] <lksl> no i m not running from a live a cd
[13:22] <Lamego> crackerjackz, that ssh client is installedby default
[13:22] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: hold on lemme take a look
[13:22] <Lamego> you want the openssh-server
[13:22]  * Dr_willis seconds what Lamego  says
[13:22] <Activeobserver> i downloaded r151517.exe
[13:23] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: thx
[13:23] <Pici> Lamego: the ssh metapackage includes the server and the client iirc
[13:23] <crackerjackz_> pici thanks
[13:23] <Activeobserver> however it will not let me download it on ubuntu
[13:23] <Activeobserver> i mean open it
[13:23] <gooody> I can't enable normal or extra option on my system's visual effects. will compiz fusion or beryl still works with my PC?
[13:23] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: did you backup your pocketpc?
[13:23] <Slart> lksl: well.. if you say so
[13:23] <x3rox> JoeLinux117: It worked. Thanks a lot.
[13:23] <PowerTeam> i have backup
[13:23] <JoeLinux117> x3rox: Great, no problem.
[13:23] <Dr_willis> gooody,  thoes options DO enable compiz fusion..  so i would say thats a NO to your question.
[13:24] <lksl> Slart: r u sure i m running from a hard disk ?
[13:24] <Dr_willis> gooody,  they jsut enable a different # of effects by default
[13:24] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: good good .. i saw that " it can erase your entire pocketpc" part
[13:24] <Pici> gooody: Make sure that you have the restricted drivers installed (if applicable)
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> gooody: make sure you have graphics drivers installed. Should be ok but not whizzy. you could upgrade the vga to a cheapo nvidia and be fine :)
[13:24] <DistroJockey> Activeobserver: what is that file for again?
[13:24] <crackerjackz_> pici it freezes up at )% [connecting to security.ubuntu.com]
[13:24] <Activeobserver> its a driver to install ndiswrapper to my bcm4328 broadcom wireless
[13:24] <Pici> crackerjackz_: Do you have an internet connection on that computer?
[13:24] <crackerjackz_> 0% ***
[13:24] <crackerjackz_> pici yes i do
[13:25] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: and you plugged in your device?
[13:25] <Slart> lksl: wE11, |\|0, |`m |\|0+
[13:25] <Pici> Slart: ...
[13:25] <PowerTeam> When i diff my dev list before and after i connect usb dev, it only shows  usbdev2.9_epxx
[13:25] <DistroJockey> adrock358: you happily backing up now?
[13:25] <Slart> Pici: yea yea..  I mean, is it connected to the network, etc?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> gooody: no agp?
[13:27] <crackerjackz_> pici its working now (wifi is flakey still havent figure out whats wrong with it)
[13:27] <gooody> ActionParsnip: no agp.
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> gooody: get a pci card :D
[13:27] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: shows up as usbdev2.9_ep00, usbdev2.9_ep03, usbdev2.9_ep81, usbdev2.9_ep83
[13:27] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: now he says ttyYSB0 works for him.. but it may be different for you
[13:27] <crackerjackz_> brb i gotta boot into gentoo so i can test out this ssh
[13:28] <Activeobserver> i downloaded r151517.exe and used the command unrar x r151517.exe     did not work
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> gooody: but you may find its ok
[13:28] <lksl> what Slart ???
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> Activeobserver: sudo apt-get install unrar
[13:28] <Activeobserver> i have unrar
[13:28] <Activeobserver> right now im getting wine
[13:28] <Dr_willis> why would one unrar a .exe ?
[13:28] <JoeLinux117> Activeobserver: unzip r151517.exe
[13:28] <Dr_willis> ive used wine driverfile.exe befor
[13:29] <gooody> ActionParsnip: thanks for the info.
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: cos thats what those dell exes are. he needs the broadcom stuff for his wifi
[13:29] <Slart> lksl: only makes it hard to read, right?..
[13:29] <JoeLinux117> Dr_willis: r151517.exe is a file that contains drivers for the broadcom wireless cards.
[13:29] <dhee^^> hay
[13:29] <Lamego> presumably an SFX exe
[13:29] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: what is the diffrence btw those files?
[13:29] <JoeLinux117> ActionParsnip: All together now..
[13:29] <JoeLinux117> lol
[13:29] <Survivorman> so that would be cabextract file.exe
[13:29] <Activeobserver> unzip didnt do the tric
[13:29] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: dunno to tell the truth
[13:30] <Activeobserver> wine is almost done installing
[13:30] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: can you pastebin your dmesg?
[13:30] <Activeobserver> hopefully that works
[13:30] <Dr_willis> Hmm. the fwcutter tools  i isntalled auto-downloaded the ones for my broadcom card.
[13:30] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: goto your console and type "dmesg"
[13:30] <JoeLinux117> Activeobserver: Go to www.learnaboutlinux.net/wireless_1390.htm, you will find the needed files from within that EXE directly linked there.
[13:30] <JoeLinux117> Activeobserver: As well as a guide.
[13:30] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: i didnt notice how old that guide was..
[13:31] <metroside> can anyone help with a quick question?
[13:31] <Slart> metroside: just ask.. then we'll see
[13:31] <Activeobserver> JoeLinux: thanks looking now
[13:31] <Survivorman> JoeLinux117, is he using ndiswrapper or the fwcutter program
[13:31] <jaffarkelshac> does anyone know how to resize icon sizes globally?
[13:32] <chell> hello
[13:32] <chell> I've got a printing problem
[13:32] <jaffarkelshac> hello
[13:32] <Slart> jaffarkelshac: have you looked in the preferences in a nautilus window?
[13:32] <rake> hola
[13:32] <UnyiL> EEEEEEEEEE
[13:32] <jaffarkelshac> i have not, i will now Slart
[13:32] <JoeLinux117> Survivorman: He could use the fwcutter program if he wants to use the bcm43xx driver, otherwise if he wants to use the ndiswrapper driver then he needs the bcmwl5.inf file inside the EXE.
[13:32] <chell> I've got an Epson Printer that's attached to a mac mini...printing from my Ubuntu box works
[13:32] <Slart> jaffarkelshac: I think there is at least some setting with 25%, 50%, 75% steps
[13:32] <chell> but it screws the page margins up
[13:32] <RedLizard> can i install ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop on the same machine without getting most gnome programs in the kde menu or the other way around?
[13:32] <metroside> installed dapper on a 400mhz, 64mb ram...using OpenIce looking for a GUI that will allow me to share folders. Samba is installed.
[13:32] <chell> cuts the upper portion of the page off
[13:32] <JoeLinux117> Survivorman: I'm sure he'll just read about it in that site.
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> chell: which epson?
[13:32] <chell> DX4250
[13:32] <Survivorman> So JoeLinux117 to get that, he needs to use cabextract for the .inf
[13:32] <ubuhackaa> Is anyone using here b43 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron?
[13:33] <jaffarkelshac> but only desktop is really what i want Slart
[13:33] <chell> when print the same PDF from my macbook it works
[13:33] <LadyNikon> ubuhackaa: you should be in #ubuntu+1
[13:33] <crimeboy> **** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dmPchuXIXQ
[13:33] <jaffarkelshac> i have some images on desktop and the preview is very big Slart
[13:33] <JoeLinux117> Survivorman: Well, the important files within the EXE are linked at that website I gave him, so he shouldn't even need to extract anything.
[13:33] <LadyNikon> crimeboy: please stay on topic
[13:33] <Slart> metroside: well.. there's always SWAT.. I think that's a web-gui.. don't really know of anything else that might run happily on that computer
[13:33] <Survivorman> JoeLinux117, gotcha. I used to have to use that on my broadcom setup before gutsy.
[13:34] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: how do i show u the dmesg
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> chell: have you checked your margin settings for the app printing as well as in the printer config itself
[13:34] <JoeLinux117> Survivorman: Yea, me too.
[13:34] <Slart> jaffarkelshac: ah.. only preview icons.. hmm... hang on.. let me google a bit
[13:34] <PowerTeam> I dont wanna get banned, hehe
[13:34] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: Pastbin
[13:34] <metroside> thanks Slart...I installed SWAT just not sure how to use it...
[13:34] <chell> ActionParsnip: I'm printing from the standard Ubuntu PDF viewer
[13:34] <LadyNikon> !paste | PowerTeam
[13:34] <ubotu> PowerTeam: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[13:34] <jaffarkelshac> no worries the stops in preview does it globally presisely what i wanted
[13:34] <metroside> I'll use google as always :)
[13:34] <jaffarkelshac> no worries the stops in preview does it globally presisely what i wanted Slart
[13:34] <ubuhackaa> With the b43-driver module loaded, iwlist fails with scanning for any networks. Is there a fix for it?
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> chell: check your page margins as well as the settings for the printer
[13:34] <Slart> metroside: it's a webserver I think.. so you go to the url http://localhost:5678 in a webbrowser
[13:35] <crackerjackz> now that ssh is install
[13:35] <Slart> metroside: not sure if the port is really 5678 but you get the idea
[13:35] <crackerjackz> how do i give my self a key on that computer so i can ssh in from my computer
[13:35] <crimeboy> LadyNikon: sorry mrs, but that is on topic
[13:35] <Activeobserver> ok i got the drive pack i need its the one i have R151517.exe it said to unzip it but it says it can not find it
[13:35] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: Type "dmesg", and check to make sure you didn't just get any errors.
[13:35] <chell> ActionParsnip: margins:
[13:35] <chell> left: 18 pt
[13:35] <Adantan_Alex> guys
[13:35] <chell> right: 18 pt
[13:35] <Adantan_Alex> i need some help
[13:35] <chell> top: 36 pt
[13:35] <chell> bottom: 36 pt
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> chell: try them on 0 just to test
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> or maybe copy the ones in the config of the mac
[13:36] <Adantan_Alex> how do i change the screen resolution on xubuntu?
[13:36] <chell> mmm
[13:36] <chell> I don't think I can change then
[13:36] <chell> *them
[13:36] <chell> the printer is attached to the mac
[13:36] <chell> so I can't change them via the Ubuntu config tool
[13:36] <l0tU5> Howzit... anyone know how to make a network install with a partition?
[13:36] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62015/plain/
[13:36] <chell> and they seem to be configured correctly anyway seeing as it works with my Macbook
[13:36] <Adantan_Alex> who can help me with ubuntu?
[13:36] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117, thanks for the response but everything is loaded correctly. b43-fwcutter has even downloaded and installed the driver.
[13:36] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: one sec
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> chell: you you can change the settings that you have in the ubuntu system
[13:36] <LadyNikon> Adantan_Alex: ask your question.  someone will help you if they can
[13:37] <Adantan_Alex> i did ask
[13:37] <RedLizard> can i install ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop on the same machine without getting most gnome programs in the kde menu or the other way around?
[13:37] <maxxer> hi. i'm trying to run vmware with parallel port support but it always complain about parport0 busy. even with cups down
[13:37] <Adantan_Alex> how do i change the screen resolution on xubuntu?
[13:37] <LadyNikon> Adantan_Alex: then be patient.  If no one can help you.. then try the forums.
[13:37] <chell> ActionParsnip: I'm in the printer configuration thing
[13:37] <maxxer> is there anything in ubuntu locking lp0?
[13:37] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: What does "lspci" say?  Your wireless card should be near the bottom of the output.
[13:37] <DarkJustice> anyone that might be able to help me in PM for a few minutes? I just installed ubuntu and don't want to flood room with questions. Never used linux before and very confused
[13:37] <chell> ActionParsnip: when I click appy I get an "client-error.forbidden"
[13:37] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: is that your entire pastebin?
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> Adantan_Alex: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:38] <metroside> slart have u used midnight commander?
[13:38] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: i mean is that your entire dmesg?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> chell: you may need sudo
[13:38] <Adantan_Alex> what?
[13:38] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: nope
[13:38] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: only the last part
[13:38] <chell> what's the app called?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Adantan_Alex: thats to reconfig your screen
[13:38] <chell> so I can call it with sudo
[13:38] <Survivorman> open a terminal and type that... but he's still on livecd
[13:38] <Adantan_Alex> yeah where do i type it?
[13:38] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: i can paste whole thing if u want
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> chell: you doing it through cups?
[13:38] <Slart> jaffarkelshac: ok.. here's another thing you can try.. start gconf-editor in a terminal.. look in apps, nautilus, icon-view.. there's a thumbnail-size option there.. change it and see what happens
[13:38] <chell> yeah
[13:38] <Adantan_Alex> its on 800 x 600 and im not seeing the task bar
[13:38] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: It says: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)
[13:38] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: better question.. is your device plugged in?

[13:39] <chell> ActionParsnip: well, through the Ubuntu GUI
[13:39] <jaffarkelshac> Slart, excellent,
[13:39] <metroside> ok no worries...I can use smb but i am not sure if you can actually share folders using it? anybody else?
[13:39] <chell> which talks to cups I think
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> chell: run it as user and click help -> about
[13:39] <farueulogy> just typing cd will take you to your home I believe
[13:39] <Adantan_Alex> look i dont know where to type to change the screen resolution
[13:39] <Adantan_Alex> ....
[13:39] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: ok good.. cause the dmesg wouldnt count.. yeah can you show me your entire dmesg.

[13:43] <DistroJockey> Adantan_Alex: you can type:   /msg ubotu whatyouwanttoknow
[13:43] <ubuhackaa> JueLinux117: Yes, that's what b43-fwcutter did after installing.
[13:43] <ubuhackaa> s/JueLinux117/JoeLinux117/
[13:43] <metroside> tried installing Naurtius to share folders...didn't work :(. I don't want to have to install Gnome or KDE if I don't have too.
[13:44] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: Have you tried using the bcm43xx driver instead?
[13:44] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: erm there was some erroe in pastin dmsg
[13:44] <pharoh> hey,in the gitweb,how does one download a whole source code package?i did it once by luck en now i have no clue at all
[13:44] <ozdeb> can anyone help with lyx tables ?
[13:45] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: It isn't anymore available in Ubuntu Hardy Heron. It worked like a charm on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
[13:45] <Willizar> how the fell can i install realplayer

[13:45] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: ahh , np
[13:45] <PowerTeam> LadyNikon: I'l be back later no worries
[13:45] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: Yea, I've seen that before.
[13:45] <metroside> can anyone please give me a hand with sharing folders using samba?
[13:45] <Dr_willis> I was thinking the w32codec packs let some of the other players play realmedia stuff
[13:45] <Activeobserver> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62018/ I am following the instructions on the website given to me and i am having problems with the last command
[13:45] <Deamos> Hello everyone!
[13:46] <LadyNikon> PowerTeam: google how to find usbtty0 as well..
[13:46] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, are you using gutsy?
[13:46] <Dr_willis> metroside,  my hard and fast way -> 'sudo apt-get install samba' ' sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' - then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf as you want. :)
[13:46] <Willizar> Dr_willis:  i have down load the file but i dont know how to install it
[13:47] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, or are you using Hardy?
[13:47] <Erickj92> how do i put the applications i get off apt-get onto a cd? the .deb file i mean so others can install it.
[13:47] <Dr_willis> Willizar,  what file?
[13:47] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: So, do you have an idea how to fix the problem? ndiswrapper isn't working here either. It doesn't add the interface (in my case wlan0). Adding it manually didn't work either. This is also a known bug but there hasn't been released a fix.
[13:47] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: If you don't mind ndiswrapper, this tutorial (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/188621) appears to have gotten someone with the same card as you working.
[13:47] <metroside> thanks Dr willis....done most of that...i'll double check everything
[13:47] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: I'm using Hardy Heron.
[13:47] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: 4311 rev 01
[13:47] <Dr_willis> metroside,  i also like the fusesmb tool on my linux machunes to access the samba network.
[13:47] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: Ok, thanks. Maybe it's working now. I'll take a look on it.
[13:47] <Dr_willis> metroside,  there is the using samba book in the samba-doc package also. :)
[13:48] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: Ok.
[13:48] <pharoh> #compiz-fusion
[13:48] <metroside> ok cool....i'll give that a go....is the package called fusesmb?
[13:48] <Erickj92> how do i put the applications i get off apt-get onto a cd? the .deb file i mean so others can install it.
[13:49] <dgjones> !aptoncd | Erickj92
[13:49] <ubotu> Erickj92: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers
[13:49] <Erickj92> thank you
[13:49] <Survivorman> I'm not sure what your problem is exactly, but I had a prob where I couldn't automatically install my driver as normal under gutsy, so what I had to do was notice the file I downloaded with gutsy and the fwcutter prog, then I downloaded it manually. In Hardy, I had to uninstall/purge fwcutter and then reinstall, then from the command line run fwcutter filename. It worked fine then.
[13:49] <Activeobserver> JoeLinux117: i have been following the page you gave me and i am having problems running a file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62018/
[13:49] <Erickj92> dgjones, that is downloadable by apt-get?
[13:50] <dgjones> Erickj92, yes it should be
[13:50] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: I've seen this bug report before and tried to install it once but it didn't work either.
[13:51] <dgjones> Erickj92, the package name appears to "aptoncd"
[13:51] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, I replied to you above... take a look and see if that seems like your problem. It says the restricted driver is being used but no wireless?
[13:51] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: Instead of using that R151517.EXE file, go to www.learnaboutlinux.net/wireless_1390.htm and get the bcmwl5.sys file from there.  Or, even better if it doesn't work, use the wl_apsta.o file that is linked under the Troubleshooting section.
[13:51] <Survivorman> Well it's green but not enabled?
[13:52] <Willizar> Dr_willis:  a bin file
[13:52] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: Yeah, I've already tried this one. There are no problems with installing, etc. It even says "device present" but it fails with adding the interface wlan0.
[13:53] <Neurostu> does anyone know where I can get answers about which packages are supported by Hardy?
[13:53] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, do you have a green light in restricted driver?
[13:53] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: When executing sudo ifconfig wlan0, dmesg says: [ 2941.081179] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[13:53] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: Where's the green light?
[13:54] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: That means that either the wrong driver or wrong firmware is being used.
[13:54] <Survivorman> in system, administration, restricted drivers manager
[13:54] <Dr_willis> Willizar,  its an executable you need to 'run' (but i hear the reapplayer installer for linux is broken)  try 'chmod +x whatever.bin' then './whatever.bin'
[13:54] <jaffarkelshac> is there anyway to get multiple desktop wallpapers and still have icons. so far i have to disable desktop drawing to get compiz to get multiple desktop
[13:54] <Shuttle_> has anyone else encountered issues with the live-cd (7.10 AND 8.04) where it boots right after it should fire up x/gdm? when I watch the progress I can see it starting gdm -> blank screen -> reboot. The CD is intact. I also tried usb-boot to no avail. The disc works fine on another machine. hardware is intel with nvidia 7800 gs(?)
[13:54] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman, sorry, I'm not using GNOME. Is there a command for the console?
[13:54] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: Are you sure? b43-fwcutter fetched the drivers for me.
[13:55] <jaffarkelshac> is there anyway to get multiple desktop wallpapers and still have icons. so far i have to disable desktop drawing to get compiz to get multiple desktop
[13:55] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: Yup, pretty sure.
[13:55] <Neurostu> what is the support channel for hardy heron?
[13:55] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: Otherwise it would be working, right?  lol

[13:55] <jrib> jaffarkelshac: wallpapoz
[13:55] <Neurostu> THANKS!
[13:55] <jaffarkelshac> k
[13:55] <ubuhackaa> Shuttle_: I've never had such a problem here. Both, Gutsy and Hardy are working via the Live-CD. Why don't you try the alternate CD? That's what I did here.
[13:55] <rachelle> hi everyone
[13:55] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, I would remove the fwcutter program and purge, then reinstall it. get the apsto *spelling, file, and run fwcutter filename from the commandline.
[13:56] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, I had the same problem and fixed it that way.
[13:56] <jaffarkelshac> jrib, thanks
[13:56] <rachelle> first time i have been in this chat
[13:56] <Willizar> Dr_willis:  i need to type that in the terminal
[13:56] <jrib> jaffarkelshac: it's not in the repositories by the way
[13:56] <DistroJockey> !hi | rachelle
[13:56] <ubotu> rachelle: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[13:56] <Shuttle_> ubuhackaa: I had a working ubuntu-installation with this very hardware-setup. Once. Now I'm migrating back to ubuntu - or am I?
[13:56] <Dr_willis> Willizar,  yes.
[13:57] <ubuhackaa> JoeLinux117: If I didn't install b43-fwcutter, it would have worked? Or what did you mean?
[13:57] <metroside> I never want to run Gnome on 64 mbs of Ram again!
[13:57] <jaffarkelshac> googling right now
[13:57] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: I'm sure you're fine with Survivorman, I gotta run, but try http://www.learnaboutlinux.net/files/wl_apsta.o, that file worked for me.
[13:57] <JoeLinux117> ubuhackaa: I meant the firmware that b43 extracts.
[13:57] <asgh> x
[13:57] <jayM> how do i reset my flash settings for audio and video on ff?
[13:57] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: Ok, I already did this plenty times. Maybe it's working now. I'll try it.
[13:58] <fx|RabBit> i got a weird graphics error with my logitec pro9000 webcam and skype anybody else?
[13:58] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: Which packages did you remove?
[13:58] <Helix82> Hi all
[13:58] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: Is b43-fwcutter sufficient? Or where is the b43-module stored in? sudo apt-get remove --purge b43-fwcutter
[13:58] <Survivorman> I ran sudo aptitude purge b43-fwcutter
[13:59] <Helix82> i need help in ubuntu anyone can help me.... please pvt msg me...
[13:59] <jayM> anyone?
[13:59] <Lamego> !anyone
[13:59] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[13:59] <jayM> i need to reset flash how do i do that?
[13:59] <nickrud> !ask | Helix82
[13:59] <ubotu> Helix82: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[13:59] <Dr_willis> Helix82,  you could at least give a hint/summary of your problem to the channel.
[13:59] <fx|RabBit> Helix82: what kind of wquestion is that???
[13:59] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, then I reinstalled it, and then ran bw4-fwcutter driverfilename
[13:59] <jaffarkelshac> before i start using ubuntu for personal stuff, how safe is it to use ubuntu. i have firewall and anti virus, and using seahorse pgp is there anything i need
[13:59] <ubuhackaa> Shuttle_: How did you install the working Ubuntu-installation?
[13:59] <Helix82> sorry guy...
[14:00] <Dr_willis> why do you think you need an antivirus on ubuntu? :)
[14:00] <Survivorman> Shuttle_, do you know he's using Hardy?
[14:00] <Dr_willis> firewall also - is normally optional.
[14:00] <Shuttle_> ubuhackaa: with a different vga-adapter at the time (matrox -> gf4ti -> gf7800gs)
[14:00] <ubuhackaa> Shuttle_: You said Gutsy and Heron's LiveCD didn't work? So did you use Feisty?
[14:00] <compwiz18> !security | jaffarkelshac

[14:01] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, if you need the driver, I have it and can send it
[14:01] <Shuttle_> ubuhackaa: although I might have mislead you, the soundcard was different (aureon 5.1 instead of aureon 7.1 now)
[14:01] <jaffarkelshac> compwiz18, thanks i mean
[14:01] <Helix82> i have a altec lancing speakers attached
[14:01] <fx|RabBit> Activeobserver: take wpa_supplicant instead of ndiswrapper;)
[14:01] <Activeobserver> how do i do that, i am very new
[14:01] <ubuhackaa> Shuttle_: Sorry, I can't help you with this. I've never had such problems here.
[14:02] <Shuttle_> ubuhackaa: k, thanks anyway
[14:02] <fx|RabBit> msg ubotu wpa_supplicant
[14:02] <ubuhackaa> Activeobserver: Are you using Hardy?
[14:02] <Activeobserver> no i dont think so atleast
[14:02] <Activeobserver> im using ubuntu
[14:02] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: You mean the driver module? Or the driver for ndiswrapper?
[14:02] <ubuhackaa> Activeobserver: Which version?
[14:03] <Survivorman> ubuhackaa, the driver for fwcutter
[14:03] <Activeobserver> the newest
[14:03] <Activeobserver> for 386?
[14:03] <ubuhackaa> Activeobserver: Hardy or Gutsy?
[14:03] <Pici> Activeobserver: What does lsb_release -a say?
[14:03] <Dr_willis> Activeobserver,  there is a new remease comming out soon..  its codename is 'hardy' :)
[14:03] <Activeobserver> gutsy

[14:04] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[14:04] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: Yeah, that would be nice.
[14:04] <ubuhackaa> Survivorman: Could you private-mesage me?
[14:04] <chell> Has anyone else experienced any printing issues in hardy?
[14:04] <Pici> chell: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[14:04] <ubuhackaa> chell: No, printing (even via LAN) is working alright here.
[14:05] <Dr_willis> chell,  cups seesm to find my other machines/printers - but dosent configure them right. I have to go in and add them manually

[14:07] <Adantan_Alex> lol
[14:07] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[14:08] <Pici> chell: Thats the limitation of running a 32bit os.
[14:08] <metroside> i installed nautilus using aptitude and it was over 200 mb and 50 package, when i try removing it only will remove 5 packages and 19 mbs?  But the experience has become easier in more recent versions of Ubutnu.
[14:09] <Pici> s/Ubutnu/Ubuntu/
[14:09] <chdst> Yeah, hardy made all of that go away. Flash was working out of the box, in fact.
[14:10] <quaal> what is the command to find out what is using a soundcard
[14:10] <chdst> I also run 64-bit XP at home, and it also doesn't suck (any more than 32-bit XP).
[14:10] <quaal> it just started playing music out of nowhere
[14:10] <metroside> i installed nautilus using aptitude and it was over 200 mb and 50 package, when i try removing it only will remove 5 packages and 19 mbs? Any idea how I can remove it cleanly?
[14:10] <chell> chdst: I thought there were driver issues
[14:10] <quaal> metroside, nautilus is brutal
[14:11] <Dr_willis> that bascially installed all of gnome :)
[14:11] <Zyroth> When I try to start apache via "sudo apach2ctl start", nothing happens. No error message, no process in the process list afterwards (neither apache nor httpd). Any ideas?
[14:11] <Zyroth> (I tried #apache already)
[14:11] <kosta> since the last update, I cannot load the nvidia module and my screen resolution cant go beyond 800x600
[14:11] <Helix82> is there any firewall for gutsy... which can enable me to block off ping and tracert and any other technology the network administrator use to retrive info...
[14:11] <kosta> any ideas?
[14:11] <Pici> Zyroth: try: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start
[14:11] <metroside> yeah i know....i tried aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop but it would not remove any packages?
[14:11] <Pici> !firewall | Helix82
[14:11] <ubotu> Helix82: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[14:12] <kosta> i already tried reinstalling the nvidia-gfx-new package and the newest kernel, without results
[14:12] <metroside> any ideas on how i tidy it up
[14:12] <Zyroth> Pici: It just tells me "...fail"
[14:12] <chdst> chell: I'm sure there are, but I haven't personally faced any in about two years.
[14:12] <Pici> Zyroth: No other messages?
[14:13] <Zyroth> Pici: Nope ;(
[14:13] <doktoreas> how can I convert ps to pdf splitting txt in more then one page?
[14:13] <doktoreas> it convert just the first one
[14:13] <Pici> Zyroth: Try running it with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[14:14] <chdst> Regardless, 64-bit Ubuntu is absolutely fine. You get to see all of your RAM, and if you do need to get support for the proprietary stuff, this channel has all the answers, or directions to them.
[14:14] <Zyroth> Pici: Says "...fail" only, again
[14:15] <Pici> Zyroth: Perhaps check out man apache2, maybe theres a debug or verbose argument to supply so that we can see some errors?
