[15:34] <Na-Fiann> How do I change the workgroup for my windows share?
[15:34] <erUSUL> cens0red: for the rest ·sudo mount -o remount -a"
[15:34] <sudobash> and then PacketFilter is fun
[15:35] <raj> I need to configure the monitor not resolution as i cannot expand the panels to the whole width .
[15:35] <erUSUL> sudobash: user01 move openbsd chatter to offtopic or an openbsd chat room; please
[15:35] <sudobash> sorry
[15:35] <cens0red> erUSUL thanks. Didn't seem to re mount everything as written in fstab though.
[15:36] <erUSUL> cens0red: any error msg?
[15:36] <user01> erUSUL, my question is about SSL certificates in ubuntu
[15:36] <cens0red> erUSUL I think I know what's going on. I accidentally made a second mount point in fstab for my primary partition. Now I can't unmount it, because mount says device is busy. duh
[15:37] <user01> erUSUL, how do i download them?
[15:37] <apeiron> raj, I'm not sure which menu option that is; point is you can get to any option with the keyboard. Unlike certain operating systems (/me glares at OSX)
[15:37] <cens0red> brb
[15:38] <erUSUL> user01: dunno sorry
[15:38] <rrittenhouse> I want to use Ubuntu to make an inline packet "filter" so I can see what machine might be sending spam on my network. Any ideas? Can you at least point me in the right direction?

[16:12] <Vi5in> has anyone tried to mount their T-mobile G1 on ubuntu?
[16:13] <Vi5in> it shows up as an sdb, but has no partition info
[16:14] <Vi5in> I have a ricoh card-reader (on a dell xps 1530). If you insert the sd card, it shows up as a block device without any partition info.... BUT you can still mount it. running parted to create a partition and filesystem has no effect. df -h still shows no partition.
[16:14] <kion> hi, why there is not the file /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf in intrepid ibex? Thanks
[16:14] <hololight> Vi5in: have you tried other cards?
[16:15] <sb118> has anyone been able to set up a bellsouth email in evolution?
[16:15] <Vi5in> hololight: actually, I haven't. But apparently this is an issue with the cards that come with the G1
[16:15] <Vi5in> the weird thing is that parted shows a primary partition
[16:16] <Vi5in> but df -h only shows the block device (/dev/mmcblk0) without a partition (I would expected /dev/mmcblk0p1) or something
[16:16] <hololight> Vi5in: I would say try another card first
[16:16] <Vi5in> and hooking up the g1 directly gives me a /dev/sdb, but once again, no partition. and ubuntu can't mount it
[16:16] <hololight> Vi5in: any data on the card you would miss?
[16:16] <Vi5in> hololight: I'll try that - but I was just wondering what would cause the card to behave like that, especially if it does have a partition and a fs on it
[16:17] <shirow> hello, is it possible to install ubuntu on a flash drive and have the ability to install applications etc on it? basically function like a regular install?
[16:17] <Vi5in> hololight: nope. I backed up the data, and wiped it clean
[16:17] <shirow> I installed it using liveusb but theres no application persistence
[16:17] <Vi5in> and it still behaves this way
[16:17] <hololight> Vi5in: I am wondering if the partition table is messed up somehow. try to repartition and format it.
[16:17] <Vi5in> i ran parted, mklabel, created a primary partition and created a filesystem of it after that
[16:17] <hololight> Vi5in: also try another card
[16:18] <Vi5in> hololight: yeah, I did that. apparently the cards have a messed up partition table. tried to fix it, but no dice :( i will try another card - I'll see if i can get one
[16:18] <pepee> me quitaron el ban ¬¬
[16:18] <hololight> Vi5in: odd sized card?
[16:19] <pepee> ahh es otro canal xD
[16:19] <pepee> bye
[16:20] <hololight> Vi5in: why did you run mklabel?
[16:20] <Kota_> hey jj are you on
[16:20] <shirow> Anyone here familiar with Ubuntu installation onto a USB flash drive?
[16:21] <hololight> shirow: There are a couple very good installation guides; or did you have a problem?
[16:21] <shirow> well
[16:21] <shirow> I can get it to install
[16:21] <ng0n> mybuntu hurts
[16:21] <shirow> but I cannot get persistence for applications
[16:22] <shirow> I want to be able to type apt-get install jedit
[16:22] <shirow> reboot
[16:22] <shirow> and still have jedit installed
[16:22] <shirow> that doesn't seem to happen automatically
[16:22] <hololight> shirow: it should... unless you followed directions for a RO os, such as a live-cd type system
[16:24] <shirow> hmm
[16:24] <shirow> well, what I did was boot off an ubuntu install CD (8.10)
[16:24] <shirow> boot into the live-cd environment
[16:24] <shirow> downloaded liveusb and ran it
[16:24] <LjL> shirow, you can install to a USB drive like any other drive, but if you just dump the *live CD* to a USB drive, then you'll get nothing but a live CD on USB. you can, for sure, enable persistence, but couldn't you just do a proper install to begin with?
[16:24] <Vi5in> hololight: i was actually following instructions from here:
[16:24] <Vi5in> hololight: http://rivviepop.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/fix-your-g1-android-messed-up-sd-card/
[16:25] <trondsigvart> hello, freatings from norway
[16:25] <shirow> LjL: are you saying, go through a regular ubuntu install and specify the USB drive as my destination hard drive?
[16:25] <trondsigvart> greatings
[16:25] <shirow> I guess I didn't realize that was possible
[16:25] <LjL> shirow: yes. it is possible if your BIOS supports HD-style booting from USB
[16:25] <prashant> where can I find package maintianer for my project ?
[16:26] <shirow> interesting
[16:26] <shirow> guess I should've thought of that ;)
[16:26] <shirow> I got confused with all these things like 'LiveUSB' app and talk of persistence, I thought something was different
[16:26] <LjL> prashant: "apt-cache show packagename" will give the maintainer's name and address
[16:26] <trondsigvart> darn, this is so totaly over my head, I don`t understand a shit :)
[16:26] <the_dark_warrio> Is there a way to automatic mount a partition and not show it on the desktop?
[16:26] <erUSUL> !no

[16:27] <Fazavon> Create your own Deb  http://www.linux.com/articles/60383
[16:28] <LjL> Fazavon: what was that in response to?
[16:28] <mindframe-> how can i regenerate an xorg.conf so that it will contain a proper virtual resolution?
[16:28] <hololight> Vi5in: okay, I looked at that... it doesn't have you running mklabel from what I saw... actually it appears all you are doing is wiping the card and creating a brand new vfat partition
[16:28] <the_jaymz> I'm having some weird problems with Aptitude. Is anyone else seeing anything like this? http://pastebin.com/d46b2823a
[16:29] <mindframe-> or do i have to set it manually?
[16:29] <Xulescu> vreun roman pe aici ?
[16:29] <LjL> !ro | Xulescu
[16:29] <Xulescu> thanks
[16:29] <LjL> the_jaymz: does that happen with apt-get as well?
[16:30] <hololight> Vi5in: still there?
[16:30] <prashant> thanks <Fazavon>
[16:31] <the_jaymz> LjL: ap-get is similar, but not the same. output here: http://pastebin.com/d1e55010b
[16:31] <Fazavon> ANytime
[16:32] <LjL> the_jaymz: if you have a DSL or other router, it might be intolerant of too many connections at once
[16:32] <LjL> the_jaymz: to test that theory, you can try to comment everything out of /etc/apt/sources.list except a line or two

[16:40] <vlt> Hello. I installed Ubuntu and now I realized that the /root driectory is drwxr-xr-x. Everyone can read /root! Is that a bug or a feature?
[16:40] <n8tuser> chillitom-> you want to update your 7.10 or upgrade to 8.04?
[16:40] <vlt> OMFG! Every user's ~ is readable for all other users too!
[16:41] <chillitom> upgrade 8.04 to 8.10
[16:41] <manlymat_83> I don't like ubuntu 8.10 at all.  It's really giving me trouble with fonts.  I'd like to go back to 7.10.  Is there an ISO somewhere?
[16:41] <fosco__> vlt, try to delete or write something with a normal user
[16:41] <manlymat_83> ubuntu.com doesn't have it
[16:41] <vlt> fosco__: That's not possible, the "w" perm si only for the owner.

[16:47] <mker> manlymat_83: go into preferences and content or something and choose not to allow websites to set their own fonts. that worked for me in 8.04, didn't have to do anything in 8.10
[16:47] <Shubbar> jayceel, still same error

[16:48] <manlymat_83> mker: hmmm.. Well the fonts are just very non-sharp

[16:48] <mker> manlymat_83: give it a try
[16:49] <manlymat_83> For instance, http://www.sharebuilder.com is entirely too hard to read
[16:49] <manlymat_83> mker: I did
[16:49] <manlymat_83> I'm in an 8.10 boot CD now, and two-three websites I frequently use are hard to read

[16:53] <xomp> Hello folks, I have a Macintosh HDD attached and need to transfer a file from ubuntu to it. I'm getting "Disk is read-only" errors when doing so. Is there anyway around this?
[16:53] <bahadunn> DRebellion: I am sshed into the system now and the light is on solid but I do not see anything in top that looks strange
[16:54] <bahadunn> DRebellion: is there a command to use to find out about disk usage by process?
[16:54] <DRebellion> bahadunn, if you find one, tell me ; )
[16:54] <Equ4L> join #the loft
[16:54] <jrpetro> who knows about the nvidia 6150 cards
[16:54] <bahadunn> DRebellion: okay
[16:54] <ikonia> jrpetro: just ask the question
[16:54] <sb118> ikonia: i can't send emails.  i found sources that say to use mail.bellsouth.net for sending and receiving.  but sending doesn't work.
[16:54] <ikonia> sb118: define doesn't work
[16:55] <ikonia> sb118: are you on a bellsource.net network ?
[16:55] <jrpetro> i used envy to install and enable my card but i still cant get my 3d stuff working
[16:55] <ikonia> sb118: looking at your irc address your not on a bellsouth network, so you'll need to use your school/univercity outgoing SMTP relay
[16:55] <ikonia> !envy > jrpetro
[16:55] <bob_dylan> hey raj, whats your GPU Card? nvidia or ati?
[16:56] <sb118> ikonia: when i do send/receive, it says sending message 1 of 1, but doesn't actually do it.  how do i do that?
[16:56] <Barnicle> Hi there,
[16:56] <Barnicle> We've been having connectivity issues with one of our servers. We've replaced the network card, but with a NIC that was not identical to the first card.
[16:56] <Barnicle> If I want to uninstall the old drivers, and install the new one, how can I do this? Also, if I don't have the driver is there a way to get it to auto detect? It's a fairly old NIC card that we had laying around.
[16:56] <raj> bob_dylan its an ATI, and it worked with other distributions with no pronblem
[16:56] <ikonia> sb118: from what I'm reading you can only use bellsouths network mail servers IF your on their network, which you are not, use your shcools
[16:56] <ikonia> schools
[16:57] <raj> bob_dylan ATI radeon 340M on a compaq presario 2170US
[16:57] <jrpetro> how do you private message
[16:57] <sb118> ikonia: i was able to use bellsouth email on outlook. is that different?
[16:57] <ikonia> jrpetro: ubottu is a bot
[16:57] <bahadunn> DRebellion: seems like it might be liferea
[16:57] <manlymat_83> fosco: 7.10 isn't on http://old-releases ... only 7.04
[16:57] <ikonia> sb118: no, thats interesting
[16:57] <manlymat_83> any other ideas?
[16:57] <jrpetro> can you message me?
[16:57] <ikonia> jrpetro: no, just ask your question
[16:58] <bahadunn> DRebellion: it was showing 4% cpu useage all the time even before going to idle but I killed off the process anyways and the drive light went off
[16:58] <jrpetro> how do i enable my visual effects
[16:58] <bahadunn> DRebellion: so it seems like liferea is doing constant drive activity during idle
[16:58] <DRebellion> bahadunn, ah, the rss reader?
[16:58] <bahadunn> DRebellion: yeah
[16:58] <ikonia> jrpetro: did you read the info ubottu sent you
[16:58] <manlymat_83> jrpetro: System / Preferences / Appearance
[16:58] <DRebellion> bahadunn, that's odd
[16:58] <bahadunn> DRebellion: very
[16:58] <manlymat_83> "Visual Effects" tab
[16:58] <jrpetro> i didnt get the info
[16:59] <bahadunn> DRebellion: checking bug reports now
[16:59] <bob_dylan> oh im really sorry raj, im afraid i cant help you. cause i use geforce. try another mate. :)

[17:01] <Barnicle> I've swapped network cards on my server. Now, ubuntu won't recognize the new card. How can I remedy this?
[17:01] <ikonia> Barnicle what is the card ?
[17:02] <endo602> hi
[17:02] <Barnicle> It's an old card. One sec let me take a look.
[17:02] <endo602> anyone know how to to get spdif out?
[17:02] <endo602> i want to use an optical out for my audio
[17:02] <Barnicle> ikonia - it's a Digital network card
[17:02] <Shubbar> ikonia, apt-get remove
[17:02] <jrpetro> anyone else know about nvidia stuff
[17:02] <ikonia> Barnicle what model
[17:03] <Barnicle> LANKom 9752
[17:03] <ikonia> Shubbar 1.) are you using sudo 2.) what is the exact command your using
[17:03] <ikonia> Barnicle: I've never even heard of that, are they supported at all ?
[17:03] <Barnicle> well, it says it's from 1996. it's fairly old.
[17:03] <Barnicle> intel bought them out
[17:03] <ikonia> Barnicle doesn't mean it's supported
[17:04] <Shubbar> ikonia, specific: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-177
[17:04] <ikonia> Shubbar and what is the exact error you get
[17:04] <SliMM> i just can't belive it
[17:04] <Barnicle> ok, so if it was supported and i swapped the cards, would that mean the nic should just work or do i have to installed supporting drivers
[17:04] <ikonia> Barnicle: depends if and how it's supportd
[17:05] <jrpetro> PLEASE HELP WITH MY NVIDIA PROBLEM
[17:05] <ikonia> jrpetro: using caps won't get you anywhere
[17:05] <SliMM> is there any reason for my nvidia driver to be disabled? (without the practical possibility of enabling it)
[17:05] <Barnicle> Ok. Where can I find a support list
[17:05] <ikonia> Barnicle: google, or the kernel notes, there is also an out of date list ont he ubuntu website
[17:05] <ikonia> !hcl > Barnicle
[17:05] <Shubbar> ikonia, dpkg-divert: error checking '....modules/extensions/libGLcoe.co': No such file or directory
[17:06] <CyanideBurn> :P
[17:06] <ikonia> Shubbar: looks like it's already removed and is awaiting the reboot, or you've manually removed that ....modules/extensions/libGLcoe.co file
[17:06] <MaT-dg> is there an upnp-client for ubuntu?
[17:06] <CyanideBurn> hi an bb
[17:06] <emorris> hi, a lot of my programs are really laggy. it was fine before i tried to enable the accelerated driver. I've disabled that, and tired reconfiguring xserver-xorg, deleting xorg.conf, and letting it create a new one, etc, etc. But it's still really laggy. Anything else I could try? (Also some of my keys work wrong, like the arrow keys don't work, quite possibly related.)
[17:06] <pepe_> bonjours a tous
[17:07] <magnetron> !fr | pepe_
[17:07] <Shubbar> ikonia, i tried reinstalling and then removing, but got the same error

[17:20] <nibsa1242b> partandroid: now if I could only resolve my dvd burning problems on my other computer... everytime I burn a disk it fails, normally towards the last 75% or during lead out
[17:21] <cyanideburn_> hi, buenas
[17:21] <Shubbar> ikonia, rebooting didn't help. what else can i try?
[17:21] <IdleOne> Nergoth`, if the other computer is debian based and you want to know what version # type lsb_release -a

[17:30] <emorris> powertool08: -s is shutdown and -c is comment, although there isn't one, so there's no point including -c. (eg. you would have -c "shutting down soon...")
[17:30] <bob_dylan> i need help to set up my saa713x pci tv tuner, please pm me if you can :)
[17:31] <fallore> Can I have gnome allow pidgin IM windows to steal focus (preferably only when I hit a certain hotkey) or is it globally yes/no on windows stealing focus?
[17:31] <nite_johnboy> IdleOne: I do not use Windows as least as possible - just using this as an example of What I would like to accomplish in Ubuntu - UNderstand ? ?
[17:31] <IdleOne> nite_johnboy, yes I see
[17:31] <powertool08> emorris: ah, good to know I guess? I don't use windows much these days :D
[17:31] <bamdad> hi
[17:32] <wx9j> can brasero be used to copy factory discs ? I was able to copy in the past with the built in burner
[17:32] <emorris> powertool08: yeah, same :). after using BASh for such a long time, i hate how useless a DOS shell is
[17:32] <mgolisch> cygwin/bash+python for the rescue
[17:32] <mgolisch> :)
[17:33] <mgolisch> thats what i use to make my life easier
[17:33] <mgolisch> :)
[17:33] <IdleOne> nite_johnboy, if you create a launcher and use the shutdown command it will open a terminal asking for password. is that what you want?
[17:34] <tmg> hi
[17:34] <tmg> hi
[17:34] <IdleOne> nite_johnboy, I guess you could write a bash script and link a launcher to that script. google for tutorials for bash
[17:35] <nite_johnboy> IdleOne: Thanks for your patience - Yes thats close - just want the command to do everything w/out having to input password - ?
[17:35] <tmg> i  hav a question
[17:35] <earthling> let me try again, what fstab options do i use to mount a device in MY home directory so I own it and can use it???
[17:35] <wx9j> tmg just ask
[17:35] <IdleOne> nite_johnboy, problem with that is that you don't want a launcher to "know" your sudo password.
[17:36] <nite_johnboy> IdleOne: On the 1st one you just posted - that would be ok if all was needed was P/Word input.
[17:36] <tmg> is it correct that on the os ubuntu downloading is much faster than downloading on win xp? sorry i am clueless on ubuntu though i hav it
[17:37] <wx9j> tmg it has always seemed faster to me than any Win OS
[17:37] <fallore> tmg: your download speed is determined by your internet provider, not your operating system.
[17:37] <emorris> hi, a lot of my programs are really laggy. it was fine before i tried to enable the accelerated driver. I've disabled that, and tired reconfiguring xserver-xorg, deleting xorg.conf, and letting it create a new one, etc, etc. But it's still really laggy. Anything else I could try? (Also some of my keys work wrong, like the arrow keys don't work, quite possibly related.)
[17:37] <manlymat_83> Shoud there be any reason why 8.10 is much slower on my T42 than 7.10?
[17:38] <apeiron> Probably doing more.
[17:38] <IdleOne> nite_johnboy, there is a way to create a password file the bash script would look at to get the needed privs but I do not know how to do that :/ I have seen others talk about it in here though
[17:38] <nite_johnboy> IdleOne: Ah - ok - totally agree - You know I really do use linux most all the time and spout it to everyone how great it is - but there are some things I still need to use Windows for until I can figure out how to get the same things to work or accomplish the same in Linux .... Comment if you like.
[17:38] <powertool08> anyone familiar with the noscript firefox addon? There is one page I visit often which redirects, it always stops it and I have to allow the redirection but I didn't see an option to always allow, I even have the page set to allow everything
[17:39] <vahnx> Is there a way to right click and sort a menu by name?
[17:39] <manlymat_83> ugh these fonts are killing me too.  I'm definitely going back to 7.10.  Was 7.10 the last release in 7.x?
[17:40] <vahnx> Yes.
[17:40] <vahnx> Normally Ubuntu as far as I know releases every 6 months, 4 and 10
[17:40] <peleg> in "input source [mic]" in alsamixer I can't put volume. it's on 0 always, and I can't record anything with my mic. any ideas what can cause this?
[17:40] <manlymat_83> ok
[17:40] <manlymat_83> I'm using 10 now.  I like it, but fonts look so different and its hard to read them
[17:41] <nite_johnboy> IdleOne: Thanks much - I appreciate it - Will do some googleing - see what else I can find as well - Want to learn more about using Terminal - So this would be a great 1st time out exercise ....
[17:41] <manlymat_83> but I assume 7.10 is going to be EOL soon :(
[17:41] <powertool08> manlymat_83: wouldn't it be easier to change the fonts than to downgrade?
[17:41] <vahnx> You can figure out how to change to the 7.10 fonts
[17:41] <earthling> well, all i've heard and read is that the ubuntu community is SOOOO helpful yet you can't even acknowledge my question.  Thanks for nothing!!!
[17:41] <RoosterJuice> manlymat_83, what is so hard to read about them? if anything they are about 200X easier to read
[17:41] <eix> earthling: same for me :(
[17:41] <vahnx> Rooster, it's personal preference
[17:42] <vahnx> I hate the Windows clear type font but some people like it
[17:42] <Barnicle> How can I force eth2 to be eth0?
[17:42] <peleg> and I I use gnome-alsamixer, and click "input source" checkbox, it's not saving it
[17:42] <RoosterJuice> vahnx, lol you hate anti aliased fonts?
[17:42] <nite_johnboy> earthling: I think that you mind need to rephrase your question - someone would be more then willing to help!
[17:42] <doctorow_> How do I manually map a value onto my keyboard? My quote key is coming up blank after a new installation of Gutsy
[17:42] <RoosterJuice> vahnx, wow
[17:42] <nite_johnboy> might
[17:43] <vahnx> ?
[17:43] <powertool08> eix: maybe nobody knows, wait awhile and try again when different people are here
[17:43] <eix> powertool08: I meanwhile created manually /target directory and mounted there the needed partition
[17:43] <eix> but I don't know what will happen when it will be time of setting up the boot partition
[17:43] <eix> shall I mount it in /target/boot ?
[17:44] <vahnx> rooster, what do you mean by wow?
[17:44] <GhosT_KiLleR> server irc.rampletea.com
[17:44] <GhosT_KiLleR> ups
[17:44] <manlymat_83> Rooster: perhaps its just me, but the fonts in 8.10 are horrible.  They are fuzzy, etc.  I'm sure there's ways to change them, but the fonts in 7.10 looked amazing
[17:44] <GhosT_KiLleR> sorry
[17:44] <manlymat_83> and, 8.10 seems quite slower.
[17:44] <IdleOne> manlymat_83, then use 8.04
[17:44] <manlymat_83> though, the only thing I worry about is if I go back to 7.10, it may be EOL before the next release comes out
[17:44] <vahnx> Most Ubuntu distros require at least 512 to function at a tolerable pace
[17:44] <manlymat_83> 8.04 is the same problem
[17:44] <manlymat_83> I have 2 GB
[17:44] <manlymat_83> Its a T42 with 2 GB RAM, single processor though
[17:45] <skeeel> hello
[17:45] <IdleOne> hi skeeel
[17:45] <vahnx> You can try changing from Gnome to XFCE, it's like gnome only much faster
[17:45] <powertool08> eix: I have /boot
[17:45] <manlymat_83> vahnx: xubuntu?
[17:45] <vahnx> Or fluxbox, but not as useful
[17:45] <vahnx> No, you can just install XFCE in Ubuntu
[17:45] <eix> powertool08: this is not a real Ubuntu system..I am installing Ubuntu with the MinimalD
[17:45] <skeeel> i have a dual screen , all is ok but i want to know if there  a possiblity to add a edge resistance (so the mouse don't go from screen to screen easily ?
[17:45] <eix> *C
[17:46] <vahnx> You dont need to install xubuntu
[17:46] <manlymat_83> Is there a difference between installing xfce in ubuntu and running xubuntu>?
[17:46] <RoosterJuice> manlymat_83, that fuzziness you are speaking of is antialiasing... how the human eye is supposed to view text.  You either have a horrible resolution monitor, or you have an lcd hooked up with a VGA cable and your vphasing is off
[17:46] <vahnx> Xubuntu comes with probably different software bundled
[17:46] <powertool08> eix: I install using the minimal cd's as well
[17:46] <vahnx> like instead of gedit theres mousepad
[17:46] <skeeel> manlymat_83, i will say no , but no 100% sure
[17:46] <manlymat_83> Rooster: I'm in 1024x768 on a T42
[17:46] <eix> powertool08: ok, but the new-system-boot is not on /boot, that is the CD's boot
[17:46] <vahnx> You can install Fluxbox, that would definately speed you up =D
[17:47] <RoosterJuice> ya... haven't heard of someone running 1024X768 for about the last 6 years or so
[17:47] <doctorow_> How do I map quotedbl onto 0x30
[17:47] <RoosterJuice> CRT or LCD?
[17:47] <vahnx> All machines at the college run 1024x768
[17:47] <manlymat_83> LCD
[17:47] <RoosterJuice> whats the native res? 1024X768?
[17:47] <manlymat_83> yeah
[17:48] <powertool08> eix: I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but on my system I made a small 100 mb or so partition for boot kernels and mounted it at /boot
[17:48] <vahnx> Anyone know of a way to automate the process of sorting items in the Gnome menu
[17:48] <doctorow_> How do I map shift-quotedbl onto 0x30?
[17:48] <vahnx> alphabetically
[17:48] <RoosterJuice> the antialiasing methods used you can either choose between cleartype (like windows), mac  or no anti aliasing
[17:48] <RoosterJuice> you dont have to downgrade to get the fonts to look how they did in the old one
[17:49] <eix> powertool08: my problem is that the partition wizard did not recognize my partitions, so I went directly to the next step (install base system) by creating /target and mounting the root partition there
[17:49] <cwillu> RoosterJuice, 'subpixel', not cleartype
[17:49] <eix> I am now wondering what will happen when the system needs to know about the boot partition
[17:49] <RoosterJuice> cwillu, same shit different name
[17:49] <manlymat_83> Rooster: where would I choose those?
[17:49] <RoosterJuice> its in your appearance panel
[17:49] <manlymat_83> System / Preferences / Appearance?
[17:50] <powertool08> eix: sorry, I don't have a clue what will happen, I've never had it not recognize my partions
[17:50] <eix> mmh..seems like everything is being put in /target/boot
[17:50] <eix> powertool08: ok, thanks anyway
[17:50] <cwillu> RoosterJuice, watch your language
[17:50] <RoosterJuice> you can chose the font and also the antialiasing method used
[17:50] <Kl4m> How can I stop the kvm and kvm_intel module from loading at boot? I already added them to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[17:50] <starenka> Hello. Anyone knows AVI (or any video) to animated GIF convertor? Or at least smthng which saves all frames to pictures within a video selection? Thanx
[17:50] <apix> Any ideas why my sound stops working and needs a system reboot to work after my upgrade to 8.10  ? It was fine before the upgrade.
[17:50] <RoosterJuice> cwillu, watch your facts
[17:50] <cwillu> and it's called subpixel, calling it cleartype just causes confusion, as neither the config dialog nor the config files use that word
[17:50] <cwillu> as long as we're watching facts
[17:51] <RoosterJuice> its called antialiasing if oyu want to be specific
[17:51] <cwillu> antialiasing is seperate from subpixel
[17:51] <cwillu> you don't need an lcd for antialiasing
[17:51] <RoosterJuice> you dont need an lcd for either
[17:51] <javier_sde_23> hello!
[17:52] <cwillu> subpixel?  you need something that has the rgb in a particular order, which doesn't include crts
[17:52] <powertool08> cwillu and RoosterJuice make me think of http://xkcd.com/386/ :)
[17:52] <rabe> could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver?
[17:52] <manlymat_83> When does 7.10 EOL? Anyone know?
[17:53] <RoosterJuice> powertool08, you must have that link saved somewhere convenient, and you bring it out every day
[17:53] <RoosterJuice> neat
[17:53] <powertool08> RoosterJuice: no, just googled for xkcd somebody wrong internet actually
[17:53] <RoosterJuice> yes! an opportunity to use my clevar link

[17:57] <amikrop> Hello. I am using Debian. How can I install Ubuntu 8.10 using a USB flash disk?
[17:57] <n8tuser> Barnicle-> look in  /etc/udev/rules.d/

[17:57] <amikrop> !usb
[17:58] <xukun> hi all. I have two usb disk which are not auto mounted. I always have to manually mount them after the system starts. Which info do I need to put in /etc/fstab so they mount?
[17:58] <endo602> can someone help me with audio out using optical jack?
[17:58] <sgraham> i just made a launcher to nautilas on the tool bar that worked
[17:58] <n8tuser> Barnicle-> which do you think? look around
[17:59] <Barnicle> n8tuser - I found instructions, but they say to look in /rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules but I don't see that one
[17:59] <nite_johnboy> magnetron: I scrolled back through posts and say your reply - Can you point me in right direction to have a quicker, easier way to shutdown my computer ? ?
[17:59] <n8tuser> Barnicle-> maybe not 30 but another number ?
[17:59] <rabe> could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver?
[17:59] <nite_johnboy> saw
[17:59] <Barnicle> I checked, but none with that name. Anyway, let me take another look. brb
[17:59] <piti> Hi. I'm in trouble with a sdhc card (16GB). it seems to be recognised by the kernel (when I plug it, the syslog lists its size and other informations.) but if I want to access it, like with sudo fdisk -l, the line freezes on the device line(and I even can't break with ctrl+c).
[18:00] <piti> any idea of what can be the problem ?
[18:01] <Barnicle> ok, well i see a few that could be it: names. rules, ifupdown.rules, 70-persistent-net.rules
[18:01] <trypto> hi everyone!!
[18:02] <trypto> hi!
[18:03] <nite_johnboy> trypto: Hello
[18:03] <trypto> guys is there someone who could help me with my ubuntu 8.10?
[18:03] <trypto> hi nite johnboy
[18:03] <Barnicle> n8tuser -> Ok, I think I got it. I want to remove eth0 and eth1, should I just delete the lines out?
[18:03] <nite_johnboy> trypto: What is your question?
[18:03] <trypto> i got a problem with usb sticks and devices recognization
[18:04] <n8tuser> Barnicle-> i dont remember the entries there, can you post in pastebin yours for us to see?
[18:04] <Barnicle> root@europa:/etc/udev/rules.d# cat 70-persistent-net.rules
[18:04] <Barnicle> # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules

[18:05] <Barnicle> n8tuser -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/75322/
[18:06] <eventi> how can I get the php source to build a modules?
[18:07] <mariooliveira> im going for ubuntu 8.4
[18:07] <mariooliveira> 8.10 its buggy
[18:08] <n8tuser> Barnicle-> okay, so whichever name you like, replace eth0 with  barnacles  or eth1 with squidalicious   i think those will work, names are not a standard
[18:08] <mariooliveira> cant be installed
[18:08] <maverick340> anyone using the clock screenlet ?

[18:13] <endo602> can someone please help me with setting HD settings on my second monitor?
[18:13] <TJ-42> is there any gui software like sbackup that allows slightly more complicated setups (e.g. more than one backup configuration)?  things like rsync are just a little too hard for me still to set up scheduled, compressed, incremental backups
[18:14] <magnetron> TJ-42→ rdiff-backup
[18:14] <endo602> I need to use my optical jack for my audio out
[18:14] <gusto5> my wireless connection displays as connected, but then stops working until i kill NM, and restart it
[18:14] <endo602> can someone help me do this?
[18:14] <gusto5> then it'll work for a while, and break again
[18:14] <Din|BSD> rsync has a few front end GUI apps, Grsync is one
[18:14] <robacarp> whats the command to start xfce?
[18:14] <magnetron> TJ-42→ the GUI for rdiff-backup is "keep"
[18:14] <TJ-42> magnetron: thanks very much!

[18:24] <[maurice]> angelcek, it looks like your syntax is wrong or your missing a command
[18:25] <angelcek> and that meens?
[18:25] <RoosterJuice> is there an easy way to find out what template your site is using?
[18:25] <n8tuser> habibbr-> look in your /boot/config-`uname -r`  for the kernel config file
[18:25] <RoosterJuice> there are like 1000 places where the admin templates exist

[18:27] <wwpiexec> hey.. I have a few IP addresses that I dont want this computer to commnunicate with.. is there a file here I add the IPs or DNS to block them?
[18:27] <angelcek> LjL lol?
[18:27] <IdleOne> jesepe, 5gb should be good
[18:27] <[maurice]> angelcek, dont get discouraged, i dont know enough to help you prop[erly, just hang around until some else can
[18:27] <IdleOne> jesepe, 8 WOULD BE BETTER
[18:27] <IdleOne> sorry caps
[18:27] <jrpetro_> how do you stop getting visual effect errors when your video card works
[18:27] <jesepe> alright thanks
[18:27] <LjL> jrpetro_: so your question is? please include hardware specifications, ubuntu version and steps you've taken
[18:27] <|TheBarold|> [maurice]: try a different cd burning app
[18:28] <jrpetro_> ok
[18:28] <iaindalton> wwpiexec: /etc/hosts would do it
[18:28] <[maurice]> |TheBarold|, is this a known problem or are you just making a suggestion? :)
[18:28] <[maurice]> i will try either way
[18:28] <[maurice]> just partial to brasero
[18:28] <IdleOne> [maurice], gnomebaker always works for me
[18:28] <|TheBarold|> [maurice]: just a suggestion, have you tried any other cd burning apps? do you get the same results?
[18:28] <jrpetro_> nvidia 6150 ubuntu 8.10 and i've installed all the drivers availible and they work but the visual effects still wont
[18:29] <ikonia> install all theh drivers is not a good move
[18:29] <[maurice]> IdleOne, thanks ill try it
[18:29] <ikonia> drivers can conflict with each other, especially different 3rd parry closed soruce drivers
[18:29] <[maurice]> |TheBarold|, not yet, ill get on it
[18:29] <|TheBarold|> [maurice]: make sure its a cd-r and not a cd-rw, maybe it has stuff on it already
[18:29] <LjL> jrpetro_: what happens when you try to enable the visual effects?
[18:30] <jrpetro_> LjL hold on one sec
[18:30] <jrpetro_> desktop effects could not be enabled but it used to work
[18:31] <mikebeecham> got a wierd one here....for some reason I cannot use msn or icq on any software, but can get onto IRC and the net...is this likely to be Ubuntu or my ISP?
[18:31] <ikonia> jrpetro_: what happened to stop it working
[18:31] <|TheBarold|> how do you mount a drive that is not listed, in computer only listed as "ATA Drive"? did "ls" on /dev and has , hda, hda1(main hdd), hda2, hda5, hdb, none of those will mount
[18:31] <jrpetro_> and my graphics card says enabled and that it supports 3d
[18:31] <ikonia> mikebeecham: firewall ?
[18:31] <mikebeecham> ikonia: been working fine until about 10 mins ago mate
[18:31] <ikonia> mikebeecham: I'd guess your ISP then as nothing has changed on your ubunutu box to warrent blocking off those ports
[18:31] <javarunner> I just updated to ubuntu 8.10 and have problems with konsole - it doesn't scroll automatically any more. Anyone else had this problem?
[18:31] <|TheBarold|> mikebeecham: wrong passwords maybe, did you change the ports?
[18:32] <ikonia> mikebeecham: it is possible a bug in pidgen say
[18:32] <jrpetro_> thanks for talking with me sir
[18:32] <mikebeecham> |TheBarold|: nope.....it just stopped working
[18:32] <mikebeecham> if it was windows I would reboot, but I've restarted X to make sure
[18:32] <|TheBarold|> mikebeecham: using pidgin? what version?
[18:33] <jrpetro_> i dont know what stoped it
[18:33] <mikebeecham> 2.5.2
[18:33] <Kl4m> javarunner: check the option "scroll on output"
[18:33] <jrpetro_> LjL can we private message
[18:33] <|TheBarold|> mikebeecham: were you logged in and then it disconnected?
[18:34] <mikebeecham> well, |TheBarold| I noticed that my wife's aMSN was a little flaky, I can't shut it down...I then logged into pidgin to find that I cant access msn or ICQ, but IRC is o0k
[18:34] <LjL> jrpetro_, let's speak in the channel, so other people may help and check that i give sound advice. do you, by any chance, use dual monitors?
[18:34] <ncash> Having problems capturing sound with dell Latitude D630 and Intrepid.  Kind of important because I use a pc based SIP phone anyone know how I can fix it?
[18:34] <jrpetro_> no
[18:34] <GeorgeA> how can i rename a bunch of files named: "FileName - XXX.jpg" to" Filename - XXX.jpg"? (where XXX is a number between 001 to 999) ?
[18:34] <jrpetro_> i only use my laptop screen
[18:34] <endo602> does anyone know how to use optical out for audio?
[18:35] <LjL> GeorgeA: man rename
[18:35] <|TheBarold|> GeorgeA: bulk rename app
[18:35] <GeorgeA> LjL, thanks.
[18:35] <IdleOne> GeorgeA, you can install a applications named gprename
[18:35] <GeorgeA> IdleOne, will try that one.
[18:35] <GeorgeA> LjL, I tried that one, i guess I just didn't know how to use it correctly.
[18:36] <LjL> jrpetro_: which drivers do you have installed?
[18:36] <|TheBarold|> GeorgeA: i believe Thunar has a bulk rename packaged with it
[18:36] <LjL> GeorgeA: you just want to turn FileName into Filename?
[18:36] <deadman66> I had 8.04 and had customized GRUB to load my WinXP partition 1st. After upgrading to 8.10, I lost my Win partition in menu.lst. Ideas on how to get it back?
[18:36] <GeorgeA> Ljl, yes, that's basically it.
[18:36] <sgraham> why the hell are there no tabs in nautilas?
[18:36] <javarunner> Kl4m Konsole is on on 'unlimited scrollback' - I think you are talking about gnome-console - that's OK
[18:36] <nbeebo> lol.. bootscreen were black, the 1337 i am i searched for terminal irc-client then googled for irc freenode, connected here... anyway, how do i get it fixed?
[18:36] <LjL> GeorgeA: rename 's/FileName/Filename/' FileName*.jpg
[18:37] <|TheBarold|> mikebeecham: in pidgin have you tried to use the http method?
[18:37] <jrpetro_> i have 96 but i had 173 and 177 before i tryed 96 because it worked at first
[18:37] <arktvrvs> bootscreen black, did you give it time to load up or just give up?
[18:38] <GeorgeA> LjL, awesome, thanks
[18:38] <nbeebo> bootscreen got black when i tried using the "repair x server" option in rescue mode
[18:38] <nbeebo> oh
[18:38] <arktvrvs> i didnt say repiar x server
[18:38] <arktvrvs> i said Xorg -configure
[18:38] <mikebeecham> |TheBarold|: nope...
[18:38] <arktvrvs> " drop to root shell"
[18:38] <nbeebo> yeah i thought so thats why i came back to ask... but forgot to ask ok brb
[18:39] <deadman66> I had 8.04 and had customized GRUB to load my WinXP partition 1st. After upgrading to 8.10, I lost my Win partition in menu.lst. Ideas on how to get it back?
[18:39] <arktvrvs> !grub
[18:39] <javarunner> deadman66: try adding something like - title		Windows XP Professional x64 Edition<newline>root		(hd0,0)<newline>savedefault<newline>makeactive<newline>chainloader	+1
[18:39] <|TheBarold|> mikebeecham: server is "messenger.hotmail.com" and port is "1863"?
[18:39] <calwig> could anyone give me some advice on how to install an ati driver?
[18:40] <|TheBarold|> how do you mount a drive that is not listed, in computer only listed as "ATA Drive"? did "ls" on /dev and has , hda, hda1(main hdd), hda2, hda5, hdb, none of those will mount
[18:40] <syslq> Do you bother setting color depth to 32 bit?
[18:40] <calwig> I have Hardy and have installed the linux-restricted-modules-server.... however i do not understand as to why it has to install a server to enable a restricted driver for ATI
[18:40] <recon> hi guys, what's your favorite way of getting podcasts under linux?
[18:40] <LjL> jrpetro_: sorry, i can't find any reason why the effects wouldn't work on your card...
[18:40] <deadman66> javarunner, ty I'll try. my only concern is id'ing my drive correctly. I THINK it's a sd1 (SATA). how do I figure the drive entry?
[18:40] <fde> syslq: 32bit on Windows = 24bit with 8 bits of noise... default depth for Xorg is this
[18:41] <mikebeecham> how do i force quit an application?
[18:41] <ikonia> !away > TheFuzzball|Away
[18:41] <arktvrvs> killall <name>
[18:41] <system_> Probably long shot but does anyone know how to get ubuntu to display big-5 characters in filenames?
[18:41] <fosco__> mikebeecham, killall -9 application
[18:41] <AJC_Z0> Sound was working but now isn't. Running 8.10 with gnome and (default) pulseaudio for playback. No audio tool including paplay will make a sound come out of speakers or headphones. alsamixer shows pulseaudio bar up to max. Hints on how to debug would be most welcome
[18:41] <fde> mikebeecham: you can do 'xkill' and select the window to kill... or pkill <app>
[18:42] <jrpetro_> thank you LjL for trying
[18:42] <jrpetro_> anyone else going threw a nvidia problem
[18:42]  * fde will never understand why people prefer killall to pkill ... less typing is better
[18:42] <mikebeecham> thanks guys
[18:42]  * arktvrvs wonders if other unix flavors have pkill
[18:42] <rabe> could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver?
[18:43] <fde> arktvrvs: the bsd's certainly do
[18:43] <arktvrvs>  is that so?
[18:43]  * arktvrvs shrugs
[18:43] <ikonia> jrpetro_: because you have multiple nvidia driver versions on your system I would not class it as currently sane
[18:43] <osotogari> anyone know of any good solar system / planet screensavers or wallpapers for ubuntu?
[18:43] <|TheBarold|> osotogari: google?
[18:43] <luigi> !it
[18:44] <root__> so in rescue mode trying to find where the xorg direction is... where is it?
[18:44] <fosco__> osotogari, kstars
[18:44] <fde> rabe: umm, wineconf ... add the DLL there?
[18:44] <arktvrvs> root__: the xorg direction?
[18:44] <DIFH-iceroot> root__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and dont use irc as root!
[18:44] <root__> oh im nbeebo.. yes xorg.config direction
[18:44] <arktvrvs> Xorg -configure
[18:44] <root__> ok ill try
[18:44] <osotogari> @ fosco_: thanks
[18:45] <root__> well too late cya
[18:45] <arktvrvs> mv /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[18:45] <paul68> n8tuser: i managed to get my small "iptable script" to run through the interfaces files  :-)
[18:45] <jrpetro_> ikonia_ i dont have them installed at the same time
[18:45] <jrpetro_> i uninstalled one to use the other
[18:45] <|TheBarold|> how do you mount a drive that is not listed, in computer only listed as "ATA Drive"? did "ls" on /dev and has , hda, hda1(main hdd), hda2, hda5, hdb, none of those will mount

[18:46] <rp_> TheBarold: I always use fdisk to find out the device mapping
[18:46] <mker> I think there's something wrong with my second harddrive. I'm not completely sure but it looks like whenever I start Vuze which is seeding several torrents from that harddrive everything eventually crashes and I have to reboot the computer by pressing the button. How can I find out if it's the hard drive?
[18:46] <fde> Guest77159: please paste the exact error
[18:46] <kellojoe> any support on editing grub to boot ubuntu, Vista and Xp

[18:47] <erk1> !grub | kellojoe
[18:47] <fde> kellojoe: look in the examples in /boot/grub/menu.lst ... there is a Windows example... just customize that for where the Vista and XP drives are located
[18:47] <ikonia> Guest77159: that doesn't look like a valid repo
[18:47] <nbeebo> ok i tried it now its the same
[18:48] <hozano> Hi people. I have a problem to add a network bridge on ubuntu. When rebooting, the eth0 and br0 ifaces receive the same IP. I need to restart the network service to these interfaces works fine. I have installed bridge-utils package and my /etc/network/interfaces is in http://pastebin.com/m497138b6. Can someone help me ?
[18:48] <Guest77159> so what shall i do?
[18:48] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: what did you do exactly?
[18:48] <Guest77159> i just got this error from update manager
[18:48] <paul68> n8tuser: still reading in that book that I showed you however the last 2 days not much time at work to be able to 500 pages is a real pain in the butt lol
[18:48] <fde> Guest77159: System > Administration > Software Sources ... on the first tab, Servers > Other > Choose best server should be fine
[18:48] <nbeebo> Xorg.configure then mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new something like u told me
[18:48] <nbeebo> Xorg -configre *
[18:48] <erk1> mker: Use some sort of tool to check disk integrity. I just recently moved to Ubuntu from Windows, so I'm not sure how to do it...
[18:49] <paul68> n8tuser: *read 500 pages
[18:49] <nbeebo> -configure**
[18:49] <Guest77159> ok i will try tht
[18:49] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: if /root/ is where it placed it ok, but on my system its just in / .. and it needs to be moved to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:49] <arktvrvs> not xorg.conf.new
[18:49] <|TheBarold|> rp_: fdisk will not open anything
[18:50] <fde> !pm > rabe
[18:50] <andycaz> how to see bash history?
[18:50] <nbeebo> it was in root and i did write what u told me to
[18:50] <fosco__> |TheBarold|, sudo fdisk -l should list all detected drives
[18:50] <arktvrvs> andycaz: type history
[18:50] <rp_> hi. I have an old S3 Trio card that ran fine with 1600x1200 under XFree86 but X.org runs it with the VESA server and it refuses to go higher than 800x600 (says the other modes go out of memory)
[18:50] <nbeebo> akrtvrvs: i fixed it before but i cannot remember exactly
[18:50] <fde> andycaz: cat ~/.bash_history
[18:51] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: if you typed it exactly as i said and its made no difference then sorry, thats the only way i know of
[18:51] <fde> or history, yes
[18:51] <erk1> !fsck | mker
[18:51] <rp_> does x.org use that much more memory? and if I put in modelines manually will they still be used? (they don't appear to be)
[18:51] <Guest77159> W: Failed to fetch http://repoubuntusoftware.info/./amsn_0.97.20070524-1_i386.deb
[18:51] <Guest77159>   Size mismatch (its again giving me this error after i chose best server)
[18:51] <arktvrvs> when I do xorg -configure I puts it into //xorg.conf.new (i think, maybe its .eg)
[18:51] <nbeebo> ok thanks, anyone know how to fix the black bootscreen problem?
[18:51] <miik> if I run 64-bit Linux, is there anyway, I can run a 32-bit binary?
[18:51] <arktvrvs> so i mv /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:51] <apeiron> miik, just do it.
[18:51] <fde> miik: sure... need the 32bit libs though
[18:51] <xc1024> hi everyone
[18:51] <rp_> xorg -configure??
[18:52] <nbeebo> i did Xorg -configure and it told me /root
[18:52] <genii> miik: I think package ia32-libs might be needed
[18:52] <miik> fedito, how?
[18:52] <ikonia> miik: what do you want to run ?
[18:52] <nbeebo> when u go rescue mode and cd u start in /root so i guess thats why
[18:52] <arktvrvs> ok then, if you moved it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , it should have made the changes
[18:52] <arktvrvs> theres no reason to cd really
[18:52] <arktvrvs> but oh well
[18:52] <jared> hi
[18:52] <deadman66> TY all! ran sudo fdisk and I think I am good
[18:52] <keystr0k> Any idea why my Banshee stutters sometimes... processes all look normal in top
[18:52] <nbeebo> i know but i cd to / i didnt know where i was so...
[18:53] <miik> ikonia, a game only available as 32-bit
[18:53] <ikonia> miik: what game
[18:53] <miik> ikonia, closed-source commercial game
[18:53] <cyball> hi ... is there a possibilit to tell the apt-get install command not to install depencies ?
[18:53] <miik> ikonia, Tibia
[18:53] <jared> i need an easy to use program for ubuntu that you can create bootable CD's with, that will boot into a DOS environment.
[18:53] <fde> miik: look at 'apt-cache search ia32' for a start
[18:53] <nbeebo> is it possible to use bash in irssi?
[18:53] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: on a default install i only get 800x600 max, after doing that it goes somewhere around 1900 or more..
[18:53] <ikonia> nbeebo is a shell, irssi is an irc client - what do you mena
[18:54] <nbeebo> hmmm ok... ikonia: i mean if its part of irssi, to be possible to use bash in it.. kinda i suck at explaining
[18:54] <arktvrvs> or was that on my old box.. anyway, it does make a difference.
[18:54] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: /exec
[18:54] <nbeebo> ok
[18:54] <arktvrvs> like /exec ls
[18:54] <cyball> nobody who can help with apt-get that does not install dependencies
[18:55] <ikonia> nbeebo: how do you expect to use a shell in an irc chat channel ?
[18:55] <ikonia> cyball: what are you trying to install
[18:55] <arktvrvs> using /exec -o will forward the output to the current channel
[18:55] <rabe> could anyone give me some support with installing an wine asio driver?
[18:55] <syslq> I need something to mesure temp and voltage with?
[18:55] <nbeebo> ikonie: akrtvrvs told me how to, just /exec then command
[18:55] <fde> cyball: can you provide an example of the issue, throw it up on paste.ubuntu.com
[18:55] <ikonia> miik: just looked at Tibia should be possible to run it in 32bit mode, it doesnt look like it needs anything special
[18:55] <ikonia> rabe: guys in #winehq maybe better to help
[18:55] <miik> ikonia, oh, where you looked at it?
[18:55] <arktvrvs> doing /exec -o uname -a gives
[18:55] <fosco__> syslq, sensors
[18:55] <nbeebo> ok thanks

[18:56] <syslq> fosco_ thanks
[18:56] <cyball> ikonia. i try to tell apt-get that i do not want all dependencies
[18:56] <arktvrvs> dependencies are there for the sole reason that they are needed
[18:56] <fde> rabe: try 'sudo aptitude install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file search asio.h' ... anything returned?
[18:56] <LjL> cyball: using "sudo aptitude --without-recommends install packagename" will install only the really needed dependencies
[18:56] <jared> actually
[18:56] <jared> i haveda solution i think
[18:57] <cyball> LjL
[18:57] <cyball> LjL: thx for help :-)
[18:57] <ncash> can anyone help me get my mic working on intrepid?
[18:57] <nbeebo> well i cant use nano cause it juses terminal ui... whats a good simple text editor in cli?
[18:58] <ncash> nbeebo Vi or vim
[18:58] <Finiras> if i change the order of the partitions in gparted because windows vista seems to want the first partition (now its occupied by ubuntu), will ubuntu still boot? (assuming that windows didn't overwrite the bootloader yet)
[18:58] <LjL> nbeebo: err, uh? if you are in the CLI, then of course it will use the terminal "UI".
[18:58] <fde> Finiras: if you make the necessary changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst ... sure
[18:59] <nbeebo> ljl: i mean the terminal gui, like mc for example, buttons and stuff
[18:59] <ncash> mbeebo: replace gedit or nano with vi or vim
[18:59] <LjL> nbeebo: nano doesn't have any buttons
[19:00] <fde> LjL: guessing he can't figure out the ctrl+whatever functions
[19:00] <nbeebo> but i cant use it in irssi.. trying to fix black bootscreen problem, aptitude search works btw
[19:00] <LjL> nbeebo: i really don't see why you'd use *any* text editor in irssi
[19:00] <vassler> hello i need help! i have a logictech webcam usb, i wounder how to install it or get ubuntu to find drivers for and install, anyone have any ideas?
[19:01] <root__> ls -l
[19:01] <root__> root äger
[19:01] <root__> woho
[19:01] <nbeebo> ljl: so i can look in xorg.conf without exiting irssi
[19:01] <ikonia> nbeebo: open anoother terminal
[19:01] <LjL> ...
[19:01] <linny> vassler: could you give us the model no pls
[19:01] <fde> vassler: they should be included already... have you tried plugging it in and using for example ekiga to test?
[19:01] <ikonia> nbeebo: thats what xwindows is for, or tty's
[19:01] <fde> !xwindows
[19:02]  * fde hates that term  >:|
[19:02] <nbeebo> ikonia: i know but then i need to copy paste everything.. anyway back to fixing
[19:02] <LjL> nbeebo: if you can't open another terminal, you can just hit Ctrl+Z to temporarily stop irssi, then do "bg 1" to let irssi keep running, then edit your files.
[19:02] <apeiron> !learn XWindows as It's not X Windows. It's X Window, or X11, or X.
[19:02] <fde> nbeebo: use screen to copy/paste
[19:02] <apeiron> meh.
[19:02] <LjL> nbeebo: then "fg" will get you back to irssi.
[19:02] <LjL> !info gpm | nbeebo
[19:03] <ikonia> nbeebo: you'd have to copy and paste if you had nano within irssi as the two programs are seperate
[19:03] <LjL> nbeebo: you're asking the wrong questions, seriously
[19:03] <ikonia> nbeebo: I get the impression your being %100 honest about what you want
[19:03] <apeiron> !XWindows as It's not X Windows. It's X Window, or X11, or X.
[19:03] <fde> apeiron: !xwindows is It's not X Windows. It's X Window, or X11, or X would work... but they probably won't accept it as a factoid
[19:03] <apeiron> ah, whoops
[19:03] <apeiron> fde, Yeah that.

[19:05] <ikonia> Guest77159: thats is ubuntu ultimage edition repo
[19:05] <ikonia> Guest77159: that is NOTHING to do with ubuntu and not supported here
[19:05] <Guest77159> i changed the server but it still doesn't work
[19:05] <LjL> Guest77159, why would you install amsn from an unsupported third-party repo?
[19:05] <ikonia> Guest77159: that is ubuntu ultimate edition
[19:05] <fde> p1und3r: want to try asking your actual question, and we'll see?
[19:05] <linny> frith: im no pro mate but the same thing happened to me the network interface thingy changed in intrepid i just backed up and reinstalled mind you i was at the beta stge at the time there may be a fix now ?

[19:06] <ikonia> Guest77159: no you didn't
[19:06] <apeiron> 'ubuntu ultimate edition'? wtf
[19:06] <Guest77159> yes
[19:06] <fde> nbeebo: it means it couldn't spawn one of the tty's... (ctrl+alt+f1-6)

[19:06] <ikonia> apeiron: don't need to see "wtf"

[19:06] <ikonia> Guest77159: your using ubuntu ultimate edition
[19:06] <fde> apeiron: ubuntu even more bloated edition you mean?
[19:06] <ikonia> apeiron: no - you don't say it
[19:06] <frith> linny, i am sure i am just missing a package
[19:06] <RyanPrior> I want to create an alternate key mapping for competitive video games. Can somebody help me with that?
[19:06] <apeiron> ikonia, /ignore and move on

[19:08] <luigi> hi, i cannot enter in my webserver apache: it told me "You don't have permission to access / on this server."
[19:08] <ikonia> luigi: your webserver root needs to be readable by the www-data user
[19:08] <Guest77159> it says command not found
[19:08] <linny> frith is this it ? network-manager-gnome_0.7~~svn20081020t000444-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[19:08] <Guest77159> where do i type this command and how do i type it
[19:08] <luigi> ikonia, how i could do it??
[19:09] <ikonia> luigi: make sure your webserver root is readable by everone or at least readable by the user www-data
[19:09] <fde> Guest77159: please type '/nick somethingbetter' in this window
[19:09] <frith> linny, i am just figuring out what the problem is with it
[19:09] <fde> Guest77159: but Applications > Accessories > Terminal is where you'd type it
[19:09] <Anil> just lsb-release -d
[19:09] <LjL> Guest77159: my bad. it's "lsb_release -d"
[19:10] <luigi> ikonia, how i could see that?
[19:10] <somethingbetter> someone had ot do it
[19:10] <Guest47674> it says ubuntu 8.10
[19:10] <fde> Guest47674: you have to choose a nick that no one else has used... there ya go
[19:10] <nbeebo> is it Vesa or vesa?
[19:10] <fde> nbeebo: the latter
[19:10] <nbeebo> ok
[19:11] <Anil_1> LjL: it says ubuntu 8.10
[19:11] <Barnicle> what is the biggest opensource community forum wise?
[19:11] <LjL> !offtopic | Barnicle
[19:11] <ikonia> !offtopic | Barnicle
[19:11] <Anil_1> LjL u there?
[19:12] <fde> Barnicle: www.ubuntuforums.org ... but that isn't for this channel to discuss
[19:12] <LjL> Anil_1: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file please
[19:13] <mihni> S.a
[19:13]  * fde wishes Ubuntu would pre-install pastebinit
[19:13]  * LjL wishes pastebinit would support the Ubuntu pastebin
[19:13] <fde> LjL: it does... I bugged the devs to add it, and they did  :)
[19:13]  * RyanPrior wishes.
[19:13] <ikonia> luigi: it does
[19:13] <ikonia> oops
[19:14] <Anil_1> how do i copy paste tht
[19:14] <LjL> fde: oh? thank you. it ought to go to main then...
[19:14] <ikonia> LjL: I meant
[19:14] <noglorp> I need help configuring my mouse for X - I have an integrated logitech wireless mouse/keyboard combo and a laser mouse, but to get the laser mouse detected I have to swap its USB port after boot.
[19:14] <legolas558> I have just installed Intrepid Ibex. I have an error about missing firmware for ipw2100. Can somebody please help me?
[19:14] <luigi> ikonia, are you talking about the directory /var/www? it is under root user...
[19:14] <LjL> Anil_1: type "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal, then select all text, then ctrl+c, then go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and ctrl+v to paste, then give us the URL
[19:14] <nbeebo> well now i got it working again, with max res 800x600 ...
[19:14] <noglorp> I don't want to use the logtech mouse anymore, it doesn't work well on the surface I'm using
[19:14] <ikonia> luigi: thats right
[19:14] <strN00B> !tab | anil_1
[19:14] <fde> LjL: yes... in my bug report I even requested this as it would assist IRC guys, but it never happened apparently
[19:15] <LjL> fde: well, getting stuff into main is not that trivial unfortunately
[19:15] <noglorp> strN00B: depends on the client :(
[19:15] <fde> noglorp: every decent client has tab completion support for nicks
[19:15] <strN00B> noglorp: xCHAT is beautiful!
[19:15] <noglorp> xCHAT, gracias
[19:16] <albe> ciao a tutti
[19:16] <Anil_1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/75354/
[19:16] <luigi> ikonia, found, /var/www is property of ROOT user. full control
[19:16] <phantomcircuit> Every so often my system will hang and the caps lock key will be flashing im using intrepid
[19:16] <legolas558> albe: ciao
[19:16] <noglorp> using sirc right now because tirc is crap
[19:16] <ikonia> luigi: yes, www-data needs it
[19:16] <dmulholland> hey, im getting a strange error, when I do sudo command - I get an error.... "sudo: unable to resolve host gatsby",,, how can i fix this?
[19:16] <legolas558> is ipw2100 excluded from iibex?
[19:16] <fde> noglorp: like I said... every decent client.......
[19:16] <albe> volevo farvi una domanda come facci a montare un hd esterno se non lo monta in automatico quando lo collego?
[19:16] <ikonia> dmulholland: you need to map your hostname to a localhost address in /etc/hsots
[19:16] <LjL> !it | albe
[19:16] <ikonia>  /etc/hosts
[19:16] <fde> Anil_1: get rid of that Ultamatix crap
[19:17] <erUSUL> dmulholland: make sure your /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts file agree on the name of your computer
[19:17] <ikonia> dmulholland: you'll need to boot into ubuntu rescue shell from grub to do it
[19:17] <nbeebo> my res is 800x600, this is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75355/ , can anyone tell me if something is wrong?
[19:17] <LjL> !ultamatix | anil_1
[19:17] <dmulholland> cheers guys
[19:17] <luigi> ikonia, i should to change this directory /var/www in order to get properties by my user?
[19:17] <noglorp> fde: are there any decent console clients?
[19:17] <dmulholland> think I see the problem now
[19:17] <fde> noglorp: irssi
[19:17] <erUSUL> dmulholland: you can do it from recovery mode (select it on grub menu)
[19:17] <jonathan__> /join ubuntufr
[19:17] <ikonia> luigi: not sure what I'm not making clear?
[19:18] <ikonia> luigi: your web root needs to be readable by the user www-data
[19:18] <noglorp> fdE: gratsi
[19:18] <scientes_> how can i see waht locking up my sound?
[19:18] <RyanPrior> I want to create an alternate key mapping for competitive video games. Can somebody help me with that?
[19:18] <k0de> luigi: by the way, there's also a very good #apache
[19:18] <fde> scientes_: lsof /dev/snd/*
[19:18] <dmulholland> thanks ikonia and erUSUL
[19:18] <noglorp> anyhow, anyone able to point me to a good resource on X mouse configuration?
[19:18] <erUSUL> scientes_: sudo lsof /dev/snd/*
[19:19] <nbeebo> my max res is 800x600, should be 1900x1200, how can i fix this? this is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75355/
[19:19] <fde> scientes_: but just running 'pulseaudio --stop && pulseaudio --start' should free it - ignore the errors
[19:19] <ikonia> nbeebo: you can stop asking every 10 seconds
[19:19] <luigi> ikonia, ok. found it! changing /var/www readeble by www-data
[19:19] <phantomcircuit> If the kernel panics should i be seeing a message describing the panic somewhere?
[19:19] <ikonia> phantomcircuit: not normally, but sometimes
[19:19] <aoupi> phantomcircuit: don't count on it
[19:19] <ikonia> phantomcircuit: depends on the type of panic
[19:19] <fde> scientes_: you haven't stated Modes in that file....
[19:20] <fde> scientes_: umm, that wasn't intended for you
[19:20] <noglorp> phantomcircuit: <vague answer> :D
[19:20] <luigi> ikonia, i changed... but localhost don't work....
[19:20] <fde> nbeebo: you haven't stated Modes in that file....
[19:20] <phantomcircuit> noglorp, for real....
[19:20] <cwillu> nbeebo, you're on 8.10?
[19:20] <ikonia> luigi: ubottu is apache running now ?
[19:21] <noglorp> can anyone point me to a good IRC channel for help with xorg configuration (if noone here can help me with mouse issues)
[19:21] <ikonia> noglorp: 'xorg
[19:21] <ikonia> noglorp: #xorg
[19:21] <noglorp> dur ><
[19:21] <luigi> ikonia, yes.. it work, but, i've not permession..
[19:22] <ikonia> luigi: show me ls -la /var/www in a pastebin
[19:22] <nbeebo> cwillu: no im on 8.04, ive had max res before, but after kernel updates it gets back to 1600x1200
[19:22] <noglorp> phantomcircuit, this might be way off, but /var/log/kern.log might be what you want
[19:22] <mker> I did "sudo shutdown -F -r now" and fsck didn't automatically check my disk at startup
[19:22] <noglorp> and I'm off to #xorg
[19:22] <cwillu> nbeebo, does it work properly if you just get rid of the xorg.conf file?
[19:23] <nbeebo> cwillu: then reboot?
[19:23] <fde> cwillu: it is likely ignoring it now anyways due to BulletProofX, so no biggy
[19:23] <scientes_> there need to be an easier way to reset sound
[19:23] <erUSUL> mker: sudo touch /forcefsck
[19:23] <scientes_> /etc/init.d/alsa reset and reload di not work, i had to force quit everything attached to snd and remove and reload the module
[19:23] <cwillu> nbeebo, reboot or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[19:23] <Anil_1> hi
[19:23] <fde> scientes_: easier than pulseaudio --restart ?
[19:23] <Anil_1> i tried to uninstalled ultamatix, but its still giving me the same problem
[19:24] <cwillu> fde, well, 'ignoring' would mean 'using bullet-proof because of xorg.conf issues' in this case :p
[19:24] <bbeattie> Is there any way to get parted to write filesystem changes and write a filesystem without a reboot, just as fdisk does?
[19:24] <scientes_> ~$ pulseaudio --restart
[19:24] <scientes_> pulseaudio: unrecognized option '--restart'
[19:24] <scientes_> E: main.c: Failed to parse command line.
[19:24] <LjL> Anil_1, reinstall a genuine Ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com from scratch. what you have now is not a supported system.
[19:24] <fde> cwillu: well no, BulletProofX ignored it no matter what... its a feature  :/
[19:24] <cwillu> Anil_1, you're kinda in 'reinstall ubuntu' mode unfortunately.  It would be possible to clean things up, but it's not easy
[19:24] <gigel2006> How can I check my wireless cards taht are available? like in windows in device manager and disable/enable them ?
[19:25] <fde> cwillu: ignores*
[19:25] <cwillu> fde, bulletproofx only kicks in if the main xorg fails for some reason.  Are you confusing the autoconfiguration with bulletproof, perhaps?
[19:25] <cwillu> fde, if you have an xorg.conf file, that'll override the autodetection
[19:25] <Anil_1> i did a reinstall of ubuntu but amsn doesn't upgrade
[19:25] <Anil_1> have u tried upgrading amsn?
[19:25] <theclaw> hi there
[19:25] <gigel2006> Does UBUNTU see my USB wireless adapter automatically ?
[19:25] <lenswipe> yes
[19:25] <LjL> Anil_1: no, you did not. stop lying to us.
[19:26] <theclaw> how do I manage the gnome keyring in intrepid?
[19:26] <fde> cwillu: then why doesn't it here? adding modes and other things to that file has no effect with BulletProofX
[19:26] <Anil_1> i formatted my pc
[19:26] <Anil_1> i had windows
[19:26] <lenswipe> can someone help me with octal phpbb permissions please
[19:26] <gigel2006> lenswipe: was that answer to me ?
[19:26] <erUSUL> gigel2006: if it has drivers for it it should
[19:26] <Anil_1> i installed ubuntu 2 times
[19:26] <Anil_1> like i format and then install
[19:26] <erUSUL> gigel2006: do "iwconfig"
[19:26] <Anil_1> i ran DBAN
[19:26] <gregbrady> I installed Ubuntu 8.10 via wubi and now I need to get files from my Windows partition.  How do I go about mounting that partition?
[19:26] <gigel2006> erUSUL: ok
[19:26] <cwillu> fde, 'here' meaning?
[19:26] <lenswipe> gigel2006: yes it was, im not saying for definate, but it should do
[19:26] <fde> theclaw: Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys ?
[19:26] <fde> cwillu: this box?
[19:26] <lenswipe> can someone help me with file permissions
[19:26] <LjL> Anil_1: you can't have reinstalled in 5 minutes. don't lie to us.
[19:26] <lenswipe> phpbb file permissions help requied please
[19:26] <Anil_1> i didn't do now
[19:26] <cwillu> fde, chipset, attached monitor, etc...
[19:26] <lenswipe> octal permissions
[19:27] <Spirits-Sight> how do I disable the iptables firewall in Ubuntu 8.10
[19:27] <Anil_1> but last week i had same problem
[19:27] <Anil_1> and now its again giving me same problem
[19:27] <lenswipe> nvm
[19:27] <gigel2006> erUSUL: I already have a wireless card, might it be conflicting ?
[19:27] <theclaw> fde: thanks
[19:27] <LjL> anil_1: then you still have the same distribution that you had when you asked 5 minutes ago, and that IS NOT a supported distribution, because you have a ton of completely unsupported repositories enabled. reinstall from scratch.
[19:27] <fde> cwillu: the monitor is crap, but the Screen Resolution tool allows the resolution I want....
[19:27] <fde> cwillu: If I turn off BulletProofX, it works system wide too
[19:27] <erUSUL> gigel2006: there is o reason for that. you may have as many wlan* interfaces as cards are in the system and even more
[19:28] <Anil_1> like what repositories?
[19:28] <MHz128> How can I get the "middle mouse button click" function in Firefox? ie. click the sroll wheel to scroll web pages
[19:28] <fde> Anil_1: I think you were told to reinstall... never touch ultimatix again
[19:28] <Anil_1> oh ok thanx
[19:29] <LjL> Anil_1: all the ones in the Ultamatix section.
[19:29] <cwillu> fde, xrandr 1.2 isn't bulletproofx
[19:29] <cwillu> bulletproofx is the automatic failover to vesa if xorg can't start with the normal config for some reason
[19:30] <amikrop> I am trying to create an Ubuntu installation USB from Debian, using UNetbootin. But the contents of the .iso file are not extracted in the USB, after the process ends. Any help, please?
[19:30] <cwillu> fde, for several drivers, the xorg syntax to specify modes is different than it used to be; making use of xrandr style configuration
[19:30] <fde> cwillu: umm... bulletproofx according to the related wiki pages on freedesktop.org is the autoconfiguration methods of Xorg...
[19:30] <mmcneil> Hello.  I'm looking for some assistance with Intrepid and E17 on a laptop
[19:30] <fde> cwillu: maybe the X developers are confused though?
[19:30] <fde> cwillu: else you should stop assuming I'm dumb
[19:30] <gigel2006> erUSUL: ok I fixed it, it seems the alfa 500mw has to be connected to 2 usb ports !
[19:31] <gigel2006> erUSUL: thanks
[19:31] <gregbrady> Nevermind.  I found it under /host
[19:31] <cwillu> fde, I'm not assuming your dumb, but you're trying to tell me that xorg.conf's are ignored, and they're not
[19:31] <erUSUL> gigel2006: power requirements i guess. there is a limit on the omunt of power a single usb port provides
[19:31] <amikrop> I am trying to create an Ubuntu installation USB from Debian, using UNetbootin. But the contents of the .iso file are not extracted in the USB, after the process ends. Any help, please?
[19:32] <cwillu> fde, if he had driver "vesa", he's probably not using the right driver, xorg autodetection won't override that
[19:32] <fde> cwillu: I am telling you turning off bulletproofx fixes the resolution issues here... you're apparently telling me this is not valid?
[19:32] <amikrop> At least, I can't see them through nautilus.
[19:32] <fde> cwillu: anyway, we shouldn't be arguing in here... /msg me if you want
[19:34] <Aperculum> how do I install a local package?
[19:34] <dtansey> I have installed 8.10 and have given the LiveUSB tool a try. I checked "persistence" and gave myself 128m of space. But when I created a text file on the desktop, it wouldn't let me save. All I had done other than that was attempt (and fail) to get my wifi card to work (requiring fw-cutter)
[19:34] <Aperculum> I mean, I have the package file
[19:34] <dtansey> any ideas?
[19:35] <fosco__> Aperculum, sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[19:35] <erUSUL> cwillu: "... that xorg.conf's are ignored, ..." according to release notes of intrepid Input devices sections of Xorg are indeed ignored nowadays
[19:35] <erUSUL> cwillu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#X.Org%20Input%20Devices
[19:35] <cwillu> erUSUL, input devices is seperate from video modes
[19:35] <erUSUL> cwillu: indeed
[19:35] <gigel2006> help, I have the alfa 500mw and I'm running airodump in ubuntu and I have no PWR, I know it has something to do with mac80211, what can I do ?
[19:36] <cwillu> erUSUL, the entries are actually commented out on upgrade, although I wouldn't be surprised if they were ignored even if they weren't
[19:36] <mker> erUSUL: sudo touch /forcefsck only checked my first harddrive with Ubuntu on it. Not the second one.
[19:36] <soho> hey guys, how do you securely delete data so that it can not be recovered?
[19:36] <erUSUL> mker: well the second one can be umopunted and checked with the system running??
[19:37] <erUSUL> soho: use wipe
[19:37] <laku> Hey all, I'm gonna upgrade my gfx card 8600GT -> 9800GT do I need to remove my nvidia-drivers first, and then reinstall then again, once I've changed the card?
[19:37] <joedude> Greeitngs all
[19:37] <soho> i dont want to wipe my hardddrive
[19:37] <histo> laku, what drivers are you using now?
[19:37] <laku> Greetings, joedude
[19:37] <soho> just a file on my desktop
[19:37] <cwillu> lakin, afaik, it should work fine
[19:37] <erUSUL> !info wipe | soho
[19:38] <laku> histo: how do I find that out lol? /proc/?
[19:38] <histo> laku, well System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[19:38] <cwillu> soho, it's a tricky problem, as modern filesystems use journalling:  replacing the files contents doesn't actually mean that the contents of the file aren't anywhere else on the drive.  In some cases, it's straightforward, but it depends on the history/use of the file
[19:38] <endo602> anyone here good with audio settings
[19:38] <endo602> ?
[19:38] <laku> histo: oh, it says NVIDIA accelerated graphic driver (latest cards)
[19:39] <histo> laku, Does it have a version number ex: 177
[19:39] <endo602> I am trying to use optical out on my audio card
[19:39] <unimatrix9> hello there

[19:39] <histo> laku, are you running intrepid?
[19:39] <laku> 8.04
[19:39] <histo> !info nvidia-glx-new hardy
[19:39] <unimatrix9> is an ati radeon 9200 pro enough for 3D gaming on ubuntu?
[19:39] <ogre_> hello all, i have a new conversion for someone that is pending on the knowledge that the built in webcam works for toshiba l305-s5884. anyone have any ideas if it works?
[19:39] <laku> !info nvidia-glx-new hardy
[19:39] <histo> laku, you should be fine. Assuming its using atleast 177
[19:40] <laku> ok, thank histo :-)

[19:40] <kylepike> endo602, your looking for spdif out... somehting like this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/no-output-through-spdif-but-analog-works.-how-do-i-get-output-through-spdif-265174/
[19:40] <joedude> I am a newbie with a couple of related questions
[19:40] <histo> laku, you need to either use envyng or install the drivers from nvidia.
[19:40] <unimatrix9> i have run unreal on teh ati radeon 9200 , but get very poor performance
[19:40] <Hikefu> !ask
[19:40] <kylepike> endo602, this looks like a good one... http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=667687
[19:41] <histo> laku, let me doulbe check that though
[19:41] <unimatrix9> any tips are welcome
[19:41] <laku> histo: oh, ok, so I'll have to remove the drivers and then reinstall them once I've changed the card?
[19:41] <laku> histo: ok...
[19:43] <Spirits-Sight> How can I disable iptables firewall
[19:43] <joedude> I have a brand new 64 bit machine and when I start the live cd all I get is a root prompt. it is Nvidia FX 1700. Is this because that video card is not yet supported?
[19:43] <gigel2006> help, I have the alfa 500mw and I'm running airodump in ubuntu and I have no PWR, I know it has something to do with mac80211, what can I do ?
[19:43] <xorand> gigel2006, google it?
[19:44] <histo> laku, it would work if you just put the card in and booted; however, you should install the newer driver from nvidia.com either from their site or with envyng
[19:44] <gigel2006> xorand: tried
[19:44] <histo> !envyng | laku
[19:44] <gigel2006> histo: I probably need the right keywords
[19:44] <Slayer> Hello
[19:44] <Slayer> I have an odd prolem
[19:45] <histo> laku, There are some performance issues with the nvidia-glx-new package and your card in hardy. Because its newer hardware they added more support in newer drivers that are on nvidia's site and in the intrepid repos.
[19:45] <Hikefu> spelling?
[19:45] <Slayer> Linux is picking up my wireless card thing, but not my card
[19:45] <Spirits-Sight> does any one know how to disable the fireware in Ubuntu
[19:45] <nbeebo> how do i kill the x-server? im trying to Xorg -configure but it says its running

[19:48] <CarlFK> amikrop: sda1
[19:48] <CarlFK> amikrop: wait..
[19:48] <histo> Slayer, whats it say in lspci  for your card?
[19:48] <Spirits-Sight> I want to disable it because I am letting my router firewall handle it and also I was told to disable it for now into I get asterisk working right
[19:48] <Slayer> Belkin F5D8010
[19:48] <CarlFK> amikrop: you got it backwareds correct: mount something somwhere
[19:48] <p1und3r> HaxorPrime thanks man
[19:48] <Slayer> my card doesn'y come up
[19:48] <amikrop> CarlFK, ok. now?
[19:48] <Slayer> but the thing for my card does
[19:49] <Slayer> the thing I slide my card into, ZI mean
[19:49] <histo> Slayer, Yeah run lspci see if it gives you a chipset. You are probably going to need the firmware. I believe thats a broadcomm card and that would explain your problem.
[19:49] <Slayer> which is:
[19:49] <histo> !broadcom | Slayer
[19:49] <Slayer> broadcomm?
[19:49] <Crogge> Hey, anyone here who could help me a second, I have a SIL 3114 Controller in my Server and a RAID 10 configured over the SATA Controller. Now I want to install a dual boot win my windows 2000 advanced server (means I cant delete the raid), lspci detect the card but the install doesnt find the HDD.
[19:49] <histo> Slayer, but you need to run lspci in terminal and see if you have a bcm43xx chipset on that card.
[19:49] <amikrop> CarlFK, What do I do now?
[19:50] <joedude> anyone ever get a blank "tan" screen when updating from 8.04 to 8.10?
[19:50] <Slayer> My card doesn't show at all.
[19:50] <CarlFK> amikrop: oh hell... im 1/2 assleep.  you are doing mkfs, not mount...
[19:50] <doug__> amikrop, have you created a partition on the device?
[19:50] <histo> Slayer, it doesn't show in lspci?
[19:50] <Slayer> tat's the problem
[19:50] <Slayer> it's a no-show
[19:50] <histo> Slayer, does this machine have internet access?
[19:50] <Slayer> no
[19:50] <amikrop> doug__, no
[19:50] <bjv> my system just did a total crash (screen all garbled) and now my kernel modules for wireless cant be found on the disk?
[19:50] <CarlFK> amikrop: back to my previous therory: mkfs ... sda1
[19:50] <Slayer> I need the card to work for it to get internet access
[19:51] <bjv> this is not the first time i have lost drivers after a crash
[19:51] <xorand> Slayer, what is the make of the card?
[19:51] <histo> Slayer, let me look up your card real quick hold up.
[19:51] <bjv> though it ~is the first time network drivers disapeared, usually my 3d drivers vanish from the disk.
[19:51] <amikrop> CarlFK, # mkfs -n corsair /dev/sda1

[19:51] <bjv> any ideas?
[19:51] <vassler> hey what is eclispe?
[19:51] <amikrop> doug__, how?
[19:51] <Slayer> it's supposted, just not being seen by the system
[19:51] <Slayer> I think it's my card reader
[19:52] <histo> Slayer, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[19:52] <bjv> vassler: an IDE for java?
[19:52] <Slayer> Card reader:
[19:52] <xorand> vassler, it's the community'd response to netbeans
[19:52] <doofy`> where is the ssh authorized_keys file?
[19:52] <bjv> vassler: if we are speaking of the same program.   it is a gui text editor/compiler for java
[19:52] <Slayer> I am using the newest one
[19:52] <Slayer> Xubunto 8.10
[19:52] <scatterp> hey can any one help me install ubuntu on raid ?
[19:52] <doug__> amikrop, i would use fdisk
[19:52] <Slayer> Xubuntu*
[19:53] <histo> Slayer, k give me a minute to check something
[19:53] <doug__> doofy`, ~/.ssh/ is the standard place
[19:53] <Slayer> k
[19:53] <amikrop> doug__, ok
[19:53] <doofy`> doug__, so openssh-server will look there for all user accounts or just the one associated with that users home?
[19:54] <_ViTiNhOw_> well...hi everyone...can somebody help me about the USB conection? i'm using the 8.04...

[19:54] <doug__> doofy`, no '~\ is short hand for homedir
[19:54] <doug__> doofy`, no '~/' is short hand for homedir
[19:54] <histo> Slayer, it should show up in lspci -nn as posibly an airo networks eithernet controller.
[19:54] <xorand> Slayer, get another card?
[19:55] <xorand> I use hauwei, ftw :)
[19:55] <_ViTiNhOw_> HaxorPrime i want to conect (internet) by usb
[19:55] <laku> histo: Thanks. So I should use the envyng instead of nvidias official drivers?
[19:55] <histo> Slayer, look for Ethernet Controller: Airgo Networks Inc AGN100 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card [17cb:0001] (rev 01)
[19:55]  * Kondensuotas_pie mazas, storas, kiaules akim, ir nuolat pilantis.
[19:55] <doofy`> doug__, yea I know, but I'm trying to set up public key authentication for the machine, I figured the config files would be more general than to be in the home dir
[19:55] <histo> laku, they both accomplish the same thing.
[19:55] <nbeebo> hmm too a billion years but, i removed xorg conf, black screen when reboot, did Xorg -configure, moved it to xorg.conf and changed to vesam and im sure i still got 800x600
[19:55] <laku> histo: ok, thanks. I'll change the card now.
[19:55] <nbeebo> took* vesa**
[19:56] <Slayer> nope
[19:56] <Slayer> dun have it
[19:56] <Slayer> I have:
[19:56] <histo> laku, from what I understand envyng takes care of some things for you making it easier. But I think either way is easier.  You should be able to change the card and install the drivers later if you have issues.
[19:56] <Slayer> 01:09.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T [14e4:4401] (rev 01)
[19:56] <histo> Slayer, yeah thats wired.
[19:56] <doug__> doofy`, ssh system config is in /etc/ssh - but user stuff (like their public key) is in their homedir/.ssh/
[19:56] <Slayer> the thing I think I am having my problem with is this though:
[19:56] <histo> Slayer, There are some issues with linux and that belkin card I can tell you that.
[19:56] <Slayer> 01:06.0 CardBus bridge [0607]: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 [1180:0475] (rev 81)
[19:56] <nbeebo> another question.. when i installed from envyng my screen got black..
[19:56] <HaxorPrime> _ViTiNhOw_ modem 3g?
[19:56] <doofy`> doug__, got it. thanks
[19:57] <histo> Slayer, Nah your belkin card is known to have issues.
[19:57] <meoblast001> does anyone know where i can get a deb of Dolphin-emu? the website is down so i cant get it there
[19:57] <_ViTiNhOw_> HaxorPrime no =/ it's a SpeedStream (4200)
[19:57] <AJC_Z0> Sound was working but now isn't. Running 8.10 with gnome and (default) pulseaudio for playback. No audio tool including paplay will make a sound come out of speakers or headphones. alsamixer shows pulseaudio bar up to max. Hints on how to debug would be most welcome. I'm not inclined to try some of the workarounds on the forums as it _was_ working
[19:57] <meoblast001> and all the sites that host it only host the windows version
[19:57] <Slayer> so I gotta re-install XP
[19:57] <Slayer> is what you're telling me
[19:57] <nbeebo> meoblast001, i would google it.. im noob tho
[19:58] <xorand> Slayer, no, we is telling you to get better wireless card :)
[19:58] <Slayer> I HATE XP/ >.<
[19:58] <histo> Slayer, you can try lshw
[19:58] <Slayer> I am broke
[19:58] <xorand> Slayer, xp NICE FOR GAMES
[19:58] <histo> Slayer, is this a usb wifi dongle?
[19:58] <danbhfive> meoblast001: getdeb.net is one place to try
[19:58] <Slayer> I can either get my card working or go back to XP
[19:58] <Slayer> dongle?
[19:58] <histo> Slayer, is it a usb wifi adapter or is this built it?
[19:58] <xorand> he said it was a card.....pcmcia
[19:58] <[NNUser]> hi
[19:58] <xorand> he said it was a card.....pcmcia?
[19:59] <Sebooo> hi
[19:59] <Slayer> It slides into a slot. It's a laptop card. (And oddly, my desktop has a card slot.)
[19:59] <meoblast001> its not there
[19:59] <meoblast001> in getdeb
[19:59] <danbhfive> Slayer: usb wifi = wifi dongle... usually
[19:59] <histo> Slayer, ahh okay try sudo pccardctl ident
[19:59] <gigel2006> How can I check if I have the r8187 driver installed ?
[19:59] <nbeebo> y
[19:59] <xorand> Slayer, it's called pcmcia card.  Old style.  I use one too.  I use hauwei
[19:59] <danbhfive> gigel2006: modinfo maybe?
[20:00] <Sebooo> is it possible to use software raid 1 with luks without LVM? has someone done it and can help me how to do it?
[20:00] <gigel2006> danbhfive: ok I';m going to try it
[20:00] <histo> Slayer, basically you need to use ndiswrapper and the windows drivers to get that card to work.
[20:01] <xorand> yeah, ndiswrapper could do it
[20:01] <xorand> but he haz no internets, lol

[20:03] <histo> Slayer, let me send you a site it has directions for ndiswrapper. Also I'll send you a site about getting the card detected. You should be able to follow the directions to get everythign working.
[20:03] <xorand> Slayer, it will be difficult to get software on your Ubuntu 8.10 without a package manager
[20:04] <xorand> and for that you need inet access.  That's the conndrum
[20:04] <Slayer> I can get the files onto my Ipod and put them on my other computer

[20:05] <calwig> hi kyleN
[20:05] <erk1> MindVirus: Yes it is, check Rhythmbox docs
[20:06] <histo> calwig, are you using envyng hopefully?
[20:06] <craigbass1976> I have a web server, and am trying to display a bunch of images.  They're not showing up, and I get a message about them being corrupt.  If I open up in GIMP, save (make no changes) and close, then they will display in the browser.  ANy idea why this is, and how to avoid opening/saving all 800 of them?

[20:06] <erk1> MindVirus: I had the exact same reaction as you, but I read up on it and tadaa, gapless playback
[20:06] <xorand> gotta go.  Have to catch Quantum of Solace.  Laters...

[20:06] <Slayer> I's the slot I slide my card into
[20:06] <histo> Slayer, read the other link I sent you for that issue
[20:06] <nbeebo> if i do Xorg -configure and get the file xorg.conf.new(?) is it just to move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or should i rename it
[20:07] <Slayer> I saw something about a patch in google searches. (But can't find the patch DL.)
[20:07] <histo> Slayer, does the card work in windows?
[20:07] <Slayer> ywa
[20:07] <Slayer> yes*
[20:07] <histo> Slayer, well what kind of laptop do you have?
[20:07] <MindVirus> erk1, not quite gapless, but closer.
[20:07] <Slayer> I have a Dell PC
[20:07] <Slayer> desktop
[20:07] <histo> Slayer, with a pcmcia slot?
[20:08] <erk1> MindVirus: Then it's most likely a problem with the tracks themselves. Most of my music plays back with flawless gapless
[20:08] <jimcooncat> craigbass1976: gthumb could help you automate it, especially if they're all in one directory. If you need a robust command line tool, maybe imagemajick.
[20:08] <Slayer> like I said, only PC I've evr seen that takes laptop cards
[20:08] <MindVirus> erk1, when played through my iPod it is perfect.
[20:08] <Doonz> ok say my mother board died on my server
[20:08] <Slayer> yep, with one of those slots
[20:08] <Slayer> Want a pic?
[20:08] <histo> Slayer, okay that is goofy. What model of dell.
[20:08] <Doonz> what are my chances of bring up my raid array on a new mobo
[20:08] <Slayer> Just to be sure it's the slot?
[20:08] <calwig> histo: thanks for the info :)
[20:08] <Slayer> Insperon
[20:08] <histo> calwig, np
[20:08] <erk1> MindVirus: Then it's fishy. You could try sliding the slider up to something other than 0.0
[20:08] <danbhfive> Slayer: does the card show up when you run lspcmcia?
[20:09] <histo> Slayer, You have to be more specific. Inspiron ????  What there is usually a number after that.
[20:09] <Slayer> 1 min
[20:09] <MindVirus> erk1, slider's not at 0.0.
[20:09] <MindVirus> It's at 1.5.
[20:09] <nbeebo> if i do Xorg -configure and get the file xorg.conf.new(?) is it just to move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or should i rename it too?
[20:09] <Slayer> let me get the pages saved and to the PC
[20:09] <MindVirus> But I have it set so that it doesn't crossfade between songs on the same album.
[20:09] <erk1> MindVirus: Then try putting it at 0.0. Also, did you restart Rhythmbox?
[20:09] <MindVirus> Thought I did, but I'll do it again.
[20:09] <sgraham> hey in 8.04 where is the external monitor option?
[20:09] <craigbass1976> jimcooncat, just read somewhere that they might be CMYK encoded, instead of rgb.  FF has issues with that I guess; I have not tested on IE.  I'm guessing imagemajick could switch them in one fell swoop...
[20:09] <histo> Slayer, also does the card have lights on it and do they light up when you insert it?
[20:10] <sgraham> like i want to extend my desktop onto a second monitor.
[20:10] <Slayer> Um.. no lights at the moment
[20:10] <MindVirus> erk1, nope.
[20:10] <MindVirus> Doesn't do the trick.
[20:10] <histo> Slayer, and does the computer beep at all? You can try to eject the card then type in sudo dmesg -c then insert the card and type in dmesg and see if there is any output.
[20:10] <Slayer> be right back
[20:11] <Slayer> and it's never beeped when I put in/removed the card, not even with XP
[20:11] <jotil> nbeebo: mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf - this will replace the file old file with the new. backup the old file incase things go wrong.
[20:11] <jimcooncat> craigbass1976: that's a good guess, and worth a try. good luck!
[20:11] <danbhfive> Slayer: also check lspcmcia
[20:11] <erk1> MindVirus: Okay, my settings are: Enable crossfade, 0.0, crossfade within album. But when listening closely, you're right, it's not entirely flawless, but it is almost indistinguishable.
[20:12] <MindVirus> Mine clicks.
[20:12] <MindVirus> Noticeably.
