[00:00] <soumn_pwned> crimsun, and how?
[00:00] <Master_Z> 1) My wireless isnt detected.    2) My sound is not working.    Can someone help?
[00:00] <bkar> toucansam-> swap space is 2x your ram memory, have a separate partition for your /home too if possible
[00:00] <soumn_pwned> crimsun, and now?
[00:00] <lgc> Seveas, yes, thanks. I'm in the middle of the download.
[00:00] <smink> toucansam 2GB swap file should do
[00:00] <benanzo> toucansam: make swap twice the size of your RAM -- if you have 1GB RAM then 2GB swap
[00:00] <smink> root / in the ext3 partition you created
[00:00] <SnakeArtworX> Is there any support for Asus D2X soundcard?
[00:00] <Logan428> benanzo: I sorted the fstab, unmounted the disk, and when I try to remount, it brings up the same "logfile unclean" error
[00:00] <ThipThip> benanzo:  Mounting volume... Failed to startup volume : Invalid argument
[00:00] <ThipThip> FAILED
[00:00] <ThipThip> Attempting to correct errors... FAILED
[00:00] <ThipThip> Failed to startup volume : Invalid argument
[00:00] <ThipThip> Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.

[00:00] <crimsun> soumn_pwned: did you install the recompiled version, too?
[00:01] <soumn_pwned> crimsun, yeah
[00:01] <Koston> neato :D
[00:01] <bod_> thats not wot i wanted,.,.lol
[00:01] <crimsun> soumn_pwned: if so, please load the recompiled version (or reboot)
[00:01] <SnakeArtworX> Master_Z: First solution is to boot Ubuntu from LiveCD and see what happen
[00:01] <benanzo> ThipThip: this isn't really an NTFS problem then.  You have a corrupted filesystem.
[00:01] <toucansam> what would /home be? and why do i need another swap for that?
[00:01] <crimsun> soumn_pwned: I'll also need to see `dmesg` pastebinned
[00:01] <Koston> hey guys I need huge favor, http://digg.com/design/Creating_a_Crazy_Cool_Logo , if you have digg.. pleaseee digg this
[00:01] <Koston> <3
[00:01] <Master_Z> neither worked Snake, but I didnt care. People have gotten my things to work
[00:01] <benanzo> the only really safe way to rebuild it would be from within windows
[00:01] <lgc> Seveas, I gather you can zap you Windoze partitions easily as well.
[00:01] <toucansam> and what does primary mean
[00:01] <soumn_pwned> crimsun, how do i load?
[00:01] <ThipThip> benanzo:  How can this be?  I was using this drive all day today?  It wasn't until I tried to change the permissions that this started.
[00:01] <lgc> Seveas, the virtualized one.
[00:01] <Logan428> benanzo: It still comes up "LogFile unclean" even after all the messing about and unmounting and remounting
[00:01] <fbc> Dr_willis, ok, I fixed it.. I repaired the boot record and mbr, and loaded easybcd and setup the loader for the ubuntu partition.
[00:02] <Seveas> lgc, very, you simply delete the vmdisk files
[00:02] <fantasma> hola?
[00:02] <bkar> toucansam-> you dont need a swap for /home  the partitions you need are  / , swap and /home
[00:02] <crimsun> soumn_pwned: (you can simply reboot to load the newer version easily)
[00:02] <lgc> Seveas, thanks.

[00:02] <soumn_pwned> crimsun, ok... brb
[00:02] <toucansam> bkar: what does primary/logical do?
[00:02] <Master_Z> Snake ArtworX: My wireless card is the realtek 8185. My sound card is a Sigmatel STAC9200. I heard for the sound, I needed to update ALSA. How would I do this?
[00:02] <bod_> benanzo, its bad when u have to rely on Microsft to fix problems
[00:02] <SnakeArtworX> Master_Z: In my case it worked. I have an Edimax PCI 802.11 card and now it works OK. What is your soundcard?
[00:02] <bkar> toucansam-> and hard disk are typically divided up into 4 partitions, 3 primary and 1 logical (which you can extend to many more partitions)
[00:03] <Master_Z> SnakeArtworX: Sigmatel STAC9200 is what the ALSA thing says
[00:03] <bkar> toucansam-> logical is sometimes called extended partition
[00:03] <benanzo> bod_: yeah -- it's just that the disk repairing utils in Linux/UNIX are that good with NTFS partitions yet
[00:03] <SnakeArtworX> Master_Z: Amazing. You replied faster than I prepared the question:)
[00:03] <ThipThip> benanzo:  Are you telling me that simply trying to change the permissions on a partition can corrupt the entire partition?!
[00:03] <vox> how do i completely remove the Keyboard Accessability subsystem?
[00:03] <benanzo> Logan428: I'm actually a little stuck on this
[00:03] <jo1> how do I get gcc working with ubuntu, i tried to compile a program and got these errors http://rafb.net/p/07mfA449.html
[00:03] <lgc> bod_, if you tried the 'System>Preferences>Keyboard' thing and it didn't work, you might as well run 'gnome-control-center'.
[00:03] <Logan428> benanzo: I've given up by now, I'm just gonna format the disk
[00:04] <bod_> benanzo, cause ntfs is windows territory ,.,.lol,.,. i hate relying on windows for things,.,. wot exactly is the prob?
[00:04] <Logan428> benanzo: I can probably get most of the important stuff back off the internets
[00:04] <toucansam> so / -> 30gig  swap -> 4gig(how many megabytes, 4048?) and /home -> ??? gigs
[00:04] <danbhfive> jo1 Im just guessing, but maybe you need to install build-essentials
[00:04] <benanzo> ThipThip: it really depends on what happened, how clean the filesystem was to begin with and how old the disk is, but yes
[00:04] <xomp> !cube
[00:04] <ubotu> Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects »
[00:04] <nickrud> jo1: you installed only gcc?  you should install build-essential, it brings in the generic headers
[00:04] <bod_> lgc, wot is this gnome-control-center,. ive never heard of it?
[00:04] <Logan428> benanzo: Only things I'm losing are random bits of college work
[00:04] <danbhfive> toucansam: that seems like a swap that is too big
[00:05] <toucansam> i have 2 gigs ram
[00:05] <Logan428> Bye all
[00:05] <jo1> nickrud, when you do that it asks for the ubuntu cd which i don't have any more
[00:05] <benanzo> bye
[00:05] <danbhfive> toucansam: then you only need 2g of swap
[00:05] <keisangi> hi there
[00:05] <nickrud> jo1: system->admin->software sources , enable the first four and disable the cdrom. You can get it from the net
[00:05] <toucansam> oh ppl said twice size of my ram
[00:05] <danbhfive> toucansam: i have 2g of ram, and I NEVER use the swap, but maybe someday hibernation will work
[00:05] <bkar> toucansam-> / should be around 10 gig , then /home is 15gig plus
[00:06] <benanzo> writing to an NTFS disk in Linux is still experimental
[00:06] <danbhfive> toucansam: thats an old maxim that worked for windows, its different on linux
[00:06] <keisangi> i have a problem with ubuntu 7.10 on my lenovo thinkpad x60, inside eclipse, i have choppy sound and no keyboard responses.   i'm developping a game in java using lwjgl/slick2d  ...   i tryed other distro, like zenwalk-linux (slackware based distro) and everything seems works.
[00:06] <cchung_> is it dumb to have a dyndns hostname on the localhost line of a hosts file?
[00:06] <nickrud> toucansam: about 2.3 or .4 meg, swap may need to be a bit more than ram for hibernate
[00:06] <mEck0> Hi! Has anyone tried Unreal Tournament III in Ubuntu? (not with Wine)
[00:06] <josspyker> danbhfive: you need a bit more if you want to use hibernate
[00:06] <toucansam> bkar: so i'm installing the os on /, then all of my data and crap is going to /home?
[00:06] <bkar> toucansam-> correct
[00:07] <bjames> I'm trying to enable ssh by forwarding the port, I've changed the following setting on my Belkin router: Firewall | Virtual Servers, but it doesn't work
[00:07] <bkar> toucansam-> oh if you have pr0n, i forgot..hehe
[00:07] <kitche> keisangi: do you have java installed and using it for eclipse or gcj? since sometiems gcj can make programs act strange a tad
[00:07] <lgc> bod_ it's a more general preferences configuration tool. But I just checked that it'll take you to the keyboard settings application you end up through the menu route I just mentioned. However, that should suffice.
[00:07] <bjames> I'm running ubuntu with ssh server
[00:07] <Master_Z> SnakeArtworX: find anything?
[00:07] <keisangi> kitche, i use sun-jre6 and sun-jdk-6
[00:07] <danand> toucansam - you dont need to worry too much about partition sizes - if you get it wrong initially you can adjust later with gparted
[00:08] <toucansam> yes i have 490 gigs worth so that should work bkar
[00:08] <danbhfive> josspyker: how much more?
[00:08] <SnakeArtworX> Master_Z: Sorry, but I couldn't help a the moment. Maybe someone will. Hope that You'll find the solution. I need to go now. Bye!
[00:08] <toucansam> so do i really need  a swap?
[00:08] <Scout> Does anyone have a Asus Xonar sound card working on ubuntu
[00:08] <kitche> keisangi: so you are really using sun-jre6 since the jdk doesn't matter for your problem since jdk includes the jre as well
[00:08] <Master_Z> um..bye.
[00:08] <Master_Z> can someone help me with my sound and wireless?
[00:08] <Koston> hey guys I need huge favor, http://digg.com/design/Creating_a_Crazy_Cool_Logo , if you have digg.. pleaseee digg this
[00:08] <Koston> <3
[00:08] <bod_> lgc, the annoying thing is the @ and the | end up in the wrong place evertime i boot the machine,.,. i have to configure it everytime
[00:08] <keisangi> kitche, yes
[00:08] <Odd-rationale> toucansam: It is simple reccomended
[00:08] <toucansam> brak: i meant of pr0n
[00:08] <bkar> toucansam-> okay, you have plenty to play with, so have another partition for virtualbox or vmware to toy with other os'es set them to 50gigs each then
[00:09] <josspyker> danbhfive: to be on the safe side 1 gig extra
[00:09] <Cusoon959> Can I set up a static IP that only comes into effect when I'm on a certain wireless network?
[00:09] <danand> toucansam - I only have 1G of Ram and I never swap - but still think having some swap is good idea
[00:09] <bkar> Cusoon959-> static for which interface?
[00:09] <Scout> Does anyone have a Asus Xonar sound card working?
[00:10] <toucansam> ok so if i'm bout to install vista and have some heavy games on there, i'm probly gonna want around 200 gigs for that
[00:10] <keisangi> kitche, any idea why sound is choppy (using a ogg sound file) and why i seems to have no keyboard response at all ?
[00:10] <toucansam> ok thanks guys i gtg
[00:10] <nickrud> toucansam: one last thing, install windows first
[00:10] <Master_Z> how do I update my ALSA?
[00:10] <kitche> keisangi: could be many reason would check the logs on your system myself just to see if there is any weird issues
[00:10] <BlackDiamonds> Master_Z, why do you need too ?
[00:10] <toucansam> why?
[00:10] <toucansam> nickrud?
[00:10] <kitche> Master_Z: compile alsa but really you don't need to update alsa
[00:10] <Cusoon959> bkar: I have a wireless network at home. I want eth0 to have the IP <IP_ADDRESS> whenever I'm on the network 'veera', but nowhere else.
[00:11] <bkar> toucansam-> to make your life easier, install windows first
[00:11] <Odd-rationale> toucansam: So you can have GRUB
[00:11] <toucansam> i don't have windows yet ha..
[00:11] <kitche> Cusoon959: set up mac filtering is the only way really
[00:11] <Cusoon959> kitche: Hmm?
[00:11] <toucansam> i still need to buy the system builders one
[00:11] <nickrud> toucansam: if you install windows after ubuntu, you will lose the ubuntu boot. If you do it the other way, both systems boot. Its fixable if you do windows first, but it's easier
[00:11] <bkar> Cusoon959-> is eth0 your wireless interface?
[00:11] <Master_Z> BlackDiamonds: someone on the forums said to. My Sigmatel STAC9200 sound card isnt outputting sound
[00:11] <Odd-rationale> toucansam: But you can always install grub after you install windows
[00:11] <Cusoon959> bkar: Yep
[00:11] <BlackDiamonds> then ask on the forums
[00:11] <nickrud> toucansam: I mean, it's doable if you install windows second :)
[00:11] <BlackDiamonds> because compiling alsa is not an easy task
[00:11] <toucansam> well i dont have windows yet so i'm just bout to install ubuntu now
[00:12] <lgc> bod_, try and configure it with that utility. I know there's a command-line reconfigure tool, but I just can't remember its name.
[00:12] <Cusoon959> There's probably a router setting I can change, bkar... like what kitche said
[00:12] <toucansam> k cya guys
[00:12] <BlackDiamonds> on the forums some one can give you proper instructions
[00:12] <Darkmystere> Can some 1 help me with this im getting this error alot: Im running AWN And other Compiz-Fusion Needing things Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[00:13] <to0om> hi all! i have the following line in my fstab: /dev/sdb1 /home ext3 auto 0 0 . /dev/sdb1 is an external usb drive. i'd like it to be mounted to /home at boot time. the problem is that it doesn't mount automatically, even if i specify 'auto' as an option. any ideas why it doesn't mount automatically?
[00:13] <bkar> Cusoon959-> possibly on the router, and on your box, you may have to play around
[00:13] <bod_> lgc, how do i run that utility?
[00:13] <Cusoon959> bkar: Okay
[00:13] <lgc> bod_, I already to
[00:14] <crwlr> wow my downloads on add/remove are extremely slow tonight
[00:14] <josspyker> Cusoon959: are you sure eth0 is the wireless interface
[00:14] <bkar> Cusoon959-> besides its just a matter of point and click to get a dhcp enabled versus static ip address
[00:14] <Cusoon959> josspyker: Yes. I know it's odd, but it is.
[00:14] <LadyNikon> Cusoon959: :)
[00:14] <josspyker> Cusoon959: strange
[00:14] <Cusoon959> LadyNikon: :) hello
[00:14] <bkar> its possible to have wireless nic name as eth0
[00:14] <lgc> bod_, I already told you: Navigate through the System>Preferences menu, or type gnome-control-center. Probably 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard' will do.
[00:14] <Cusoon959> josspyker: Yeah..I thought so too xD
[00:14] <bkar> its not strange at all
[00:15] <josspyker> bkar: why not?
[00:15] <lgc> bod_, gotta go. You're in good hands.
[00:15] <bkar> nothing in the configs that locks your wifi nic name to wlan0 or ath0 or xxx0
[00:16] <Cusoon959> lol, DD-WRT has the MACtoIP feature, but it can't be done with the normal firmware for my router
[00:16] <Cusoon959> ;/
[00:16] <josspyker> bkar: ok
[00:16] <bod_> lgc, i dont no what this 'gnome-control-center' is or where to find iyt
[00:17] <bod_> lgc,  its not in system--apps,.,. thats just the same thing ive been using
[00:17]  * ThipThip is now completely panicking over having tried to change permissions on an NTFS partition and now being completely unable to mount or view it.
[00:17] <imek> Hey all, quick question: I have laptop volume controls that I'm pretty sure work like a multimedia keyboard.. how do I get it to control the PCM volume instead of Master?
[00:17] <imek> oh yeah, I'm using KDE
[00:18] <ThipThip> I have a partition on a SATA drive - it's an NTFS partition.  I tried to change the permissions for it by logging on as root and right-clicking it.  Now I cannot retrieve any of the data.  This partition contains all of the most important data of my life.  Can someone help?
[00:19] <Ed_> any volunteers who would like to help a bigginer in solving a problem with autostarting a simple program on logon?
[00:19] <bkar> ThipThip-> get hold of those ultimate boot cd for windows..
[00:19] <soldats> !autostart
[00:19] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[00:20] <crwlr> thipthip: try hitting Atl+F2 and type nautilus.  explore for that partition and see if you can change permissions
[00:20] <ThipThip> bkar:  Yeah?  And do what with it?
[00:20] <soldats> Ed_, look at the ubotu message
[00:20] <bkar> ThipThip-> well trouble your problem?
[00:20] <holycow> does the live cd have java on it by any chance? can it be installed while the person is running it?
[00:20] <bkar> ThipThip-> well troubleshoot* your problem?
[00:20] <Corndawg_> can anyone here help me with a regex problem?
[00:21] <Corndawg_> I am trying to look in a file for a lines that don't contain "domain.org"
[00:21] <ThipThip> crwlr:  I don't understand.  First of all, I can't seem to open nautilus from the F2 terminal, and second, I don't know where to explore.
[00:21] <bkar> holycow yes it has gcj
[00:21] <Ed_> its not a gnome program... I need to execute a command, for example, I'm starting the program with ./progname.exe in terminal window
[00:21] <holycow> bkar: thank you
[00:21] <Corndawg_> so I put in    cat file | grep -iv domain.org
[00:21] <ThipThip> bkar, crwlr:  I tried booting with the Ubuntu Live CD, and the partition is still not recognized.
[00:22] <Corndawg_> and that works, but I also need it to dispay lines that dont contain a certain IP before those lines
[00:22] <bkar> ThipThip-> umm i have not dealt with ntfs-3g ..so its a trial and error for me to assist you
[00:22] <soldats> ThipThip, if you do fdisk -l in terminal can you see it
[00:22] <crwlr> thipthip: hrmm...my sata drives all work...go to add/remove and find the NTFS configuration tool.  that let me mount mine but if ur install isn't even recognizing it...a bit tricky
[00:22] <Corndawg_> so I put in    cat file | grep -iv [^(domain.org)]    but it complains about the parent
[00:22] <bkar> ThipThip-> you can not mount the partition at all with type ntfs-3g ?
[00:23] <Corndawg_> parenthisis
[00:23] <geekchicohio> Hey all, I've got a thread in the "Absolute Beginner's Forum" on ubuntuforums.org about my complete inability to establish a wired internet connection on my computer. If anyone could give me a hand with this either on the forums, or in here, I'd really, REALLY appreciate it. ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664227 )
[00:23] <Corndawg_> er wait... I put in this rather:    cat file | grep -iv [^(<IP_ADDRESS>)].*domain.org
[00:23] <joeamined> i installed gfxboot from gutsy's official repositories but i don't know how to enable it ?
[00:23] <ThipThip> bkar:  I don't know what "type ntfs-3g" means, but no, it does not seem to mount.  It was mounted perfectly just a couple of hours ago.
[00:23] <bkar> Corndawg_-> no need for parenthesis, you're only seeking a line that has  it ,print the rest otherwise
[00:24] <bkar> ThipThip-> file system type, ntfs-3g isnt it?
[00:24] <Corndawg_> bkar> well I need to print lines that DONT have it but also DONT have a certain IP thats usually comming up before it
[00:24] <neverblue> geekchicohio, do you have a router ?
[00:24] <to0om> does anyone know why the usb device which is defined as "/dev/sdb1 /home           ext3    auto,hotplug,defaults        0       0" in my fstab doesn't mount automatically at boot, though the "auto" option is specified?
[00:25] <Corndawg_> how would I do that in regex?
[00:25] <ThipThip> bkar:.... I know that it is NTFS... I don't know what 3g is.
[00:25] <geekchicohio> No. Just the cable modem provided by my cable company/ISP
[00:25] <justinneed> hi, is there any program to watch tv on the computer? something like winamp for windows?
[00:25] <Scout> Does anyone have a Asus Xonar sound card working???
[00:25] <bkar> Corndawg_-> the -v on grep selects the opposite thats why you dont need the []

[00:26] <Corndawg_> justinneed> hauppauge wintv-pvr + knopmyth worked for me back in the day to record techtv
[00:26] <bkar> ThipThip-> thats what you type as option to mount  -t ntfs-3g
[00:26] <Corndawg_> havent used in a long time tho
[00:26] <geekchicohio> neverblue, I don't have a router, just the cable modem provided by my cable company/ISP
[00:26] <neverblue> geekchicohio, this is an entirely wired LAN ?
[00:26] <geekchicohio> neverblue, yes it is
[00:27] <neverblue> geekchicohio, are you able to get it online, the Ubuntu system?
[00:27] <blendtux> how can i install the orinoco_usb module
[00:27] <dgimse> join #synfig
[00:28] <neverblue> dgimse, you need to put a slash (/) in front
[00:28] <geekchicohio> neverblue, I got internet access with it once, but the modem was since moved to a different room. I moved my computer to that room and suddenly the internet connection that had "just worked" didn't.
[00:28] <blendtux> dgimse: was that for me
[00:28] <bkar> Corndawg_-> play around with grep, pipe it a second time if necessary to filter what you need if cant be done in one swoop
[00:28] <neverblue> geekchicohio, so you had it online
[00:28] <geekchicohio> neverblue, yes. a couple weeks ago
[00:28] <neverblue> geekchicohio, using ADSL or Cable (or dialup) ?
[00:28] <dgimse> lol thanks
[00:28] <geekchicohio> neverblue, using cable.
[00:29] <ene_dene> how do I register?

[00:29] <Corndawg_> bkar> k I will try that
[00:29] <geekchicohio> neverblue, you mean the ethernet adapter?
[00:30] <neverblue> geekchicohio, yes
[00:30] <ThipThip> bkar:  I don't know what to do.  I am so very worried.
[00:30] <geekchicohio> neverblue, yes, it was already installed.

[00:30] <geekchicohio> neverblue, after a couple weeks of fumbling with getting it to work, today I actually tried a new card, but continue with the exact same problem.
[00:30] <bkar> ThipThip-> okay lets try,  do a  sudo fdisk -l  and pastebin the results
[00:30] <neverblue> geekchicohio, so it went through the install with the card in your system, so it should have detected and install it correctly
[00:30] <yogurt> hi, is there a straightforward way to get all wmv,quciktime,whatever to work standalone and in firefox?
[00:31] <neverblue> geekchicohio, maybe its your network configuration
[00:31] <TATTERS> what sort of thing would I be looking for if I want a folder full of documents that can be edited but any changes are saved incrementaly pref simple to setup
[00:31] <agsimeonov> yogurt: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661833&highlight=install+bin+files
[00:31] <bkar> geekchicohio-> sometimes these cable modems locks your mac address it detects at install or at boot, so turn the cable modem off, wait a 1 minute then turn it back on,
[00:31] <yogurt> thanks
[00:31] <agsimeonov> yogurt: This should solve your problem
[00:31] <jetscreamer> rsync agsimeonov
[00:31] <ThipThip> bkar:  Here it is:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53398/
[00:31] <geekchicohio> neverblue, correct, and as far as I knew, it did. It worked like a charm. About a week later my roommates moved the cable modem to a new room, and I've since been unable to get on.
[00:32] <Dr_willis> TATTERS,  theres some 'FUSE' Tools that Might do what you want. Dependoing on the details.
[00:32] <boinker> is there a way to mount a usb in virtual box..i have an external hard drive that shows up on ubuntu but not on virtual box windows any help please
[00:32] <neverblue> geekchicohio, is that cable between the modem and the system bad, possibly ?
[00:32] <bkar> ThipThip-> sdb1 you are after?
[00:32] <ThipThip> bkar:  You understand what I did right?    What does this do?
[00:32] <geekchicohio> neverblue, I'll have to leave and come back to do that. There's only one ethernet port on the modem and I'll have to unplug this computer to plug in the linux one.
[00:32] <ThipThip> bkar:  Yes, sdb1.
[00:32] <bkar> Corndawg_-> sometimes an extra step is all it takes, :)
[00:33] <neverblue> geekchicohio, how are you expecting to get them both online, at the same time then, if you dont mind me asking ?
[00:33] <ffm> hey, my /dev/dsp does not work. it happens intermittantly, but is fixed via reboot.
[00:33] <geekchicohio> neverblue, nothing's bad. It's failing to work on the same cable that worked before. I've checked it.
[00:33] <ffm> hey, my /dev/dsp does not work. it happens intermittantly, but is fixed via reboot. what service must I restart?
[00:33] <TATTERS> Dr_willis: thnx I will look into that,
[00:33] <bkar> ThipThip-> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt   see if it mounts
[00:34] <cwillu> !pastebin > Light
[00:34] <bkar> ffm-> sounds uses /dev/dsp
[00:34] <geekchicohio> neverblue, I'm not expecting to get them both online simultaneously, I'm expecting to be able to plug the ethernet into my linux box when I want to use it, and then plug it into this Windows PC when my roommates need to use this, and both connect and disconnect properly (the way this windows computer does) when this occurs.
[00:34] <ThipThip> bkar: The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
[00:34] <neverblue> geekchicohio, did you happen to pull the NIC out of the Windows box and put it into your Ubuntu system ?
[00:34] <ffm> bkar: I know.
[00:34] <ThipThip> bkar:  I think I messed it up with the permissions thing.  I don't really understand what that does.
[00:35] <ffm> bkar: and it is bussy
[00:35] <ene_dene> REGISTER 3733415
[00:35] <geekchicohio> neverblue, no. It was used successfully in a previous install of Linux.
[00:35] <bkar> ThipThip-> you could have yeah..but hang on let me think
[00:35] <ubuntu1024> hi...  I have the problem outlined in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649135   but I can't get a fix
[00:36] <neverblue> geekchicohio, so this current card, is the one listed on the forums ?
[00:36] <bkar> ffm lsof -d /dev/dsp   you may have to man lsof  to see the correct option for device
[00:36] <geekchicohio> neverblue, the current card is the one mentioned in my most recent post, yes. a new Netgear gigabit adapter
[00:36] <cube_> how do i enable the s-video out on my nvidia 8600gt? i have gutsy
[00:37] <neverblue> geekchicohio,  00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev11) <-- not this one then ?
[00:37] <ffm> bkar: command has no output
[00:37] <cube_> !ubotu flash
[00:37] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[00:37] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.

[00:37] <puneypunk> hi ive just installed mysql and when i try and log in as root with `mysql -u root -p mypassword` it then asks again for a password and when i re-enter it says `Enter password:
[00:37] <puneypunk> ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'mypassword'
[00:38] <neverblue> puneypunk, let it prompt you for a pass
[00:38] <ffm> bkar: command has no output
[00:38] <kitche> puneypunk: you want to do mysql -u root -p
[00:38] <bkar> ffm i dont know what is the correct options for checking the device..can you man lsof ?
[00:38] <puneypunk> when i do mysql -u root
[00:38] <neverblue> so do '-u root -p'
[00:38] <geekchicohio> neverblue, No, that's the old card.
[00:38] <puneypunk> oh cheers ki
[00:38] <TATTERS> I have a nvidia fx5200 I only use the s-video TV out .it just works out the box if cable plugged in to graphic card when PC powered on
[00:38] <puneypunk> kitche,
[00:38] <ffm> bkar: yes, bu tI ha ve  never used lsof before
[00:39] <neverblue> geekchicohio, sorry, but I have to run
[00:39] <puneypunk> thanks, good night
[00:39] <kitche> puneypunk: just remove the mypassword part from that line since it's for the database that you want to connect to after the -p really
[00:39] <neverblue> end of the day here
[00:39] <puneypunk> yeha working ;) thanks again
[00:39] <bkar> ffm well sometimes we dont use some tools that are available thats why we use man pages
[00:39] <geekchicohio> neverblue, I'll try rebooting the modem. thanks.
[00:40] <ffm> bkar: yes, but searching through the man page with / does not seem to have a "this switch for block devices" bit.
[00:40] <cube_> how do i get s-video out to work on my graphics card?
[00:40] <bkar> ffm you have to do some leg work, i cant remember all the verbage on that man page
[00:41] <zcat[1]> cube_: probably nvidia-settings (if it's an invidia)
[00:41] <TATTERS> cube_: I have a nvidia fx5200 I only use the s-video TV out .it just works out the box if cable plugged in to graphic card when PC powered on, that all I can say that might hel you
[00:42] <Ademan> is anyone familiar with the "icall" service/program? (it's *basically* free skype) anyways i was wondering if there were any linux clients, because there's no official one as of now
[00:42] <cube_> yeah mine doesn't do it automatic
[00:42]  * ThipThip very stupidly tried to modify the permissions on an NTFS partition by logging in as root and right-clicking.  Now the data on the partition is unaccessible.  Please help avert the stroke that will occur if this data is not recovered.
[00:43] <TATTERS> cube_: I dont use a reguler monitor, just TV, is only the s-video out connected or both?
[00:43] <ffm> bkar: oh well then.
[00:43] <Corndawg_> bkar> quick regex question for you:  even though it works, why doesn't the parenthisis work in grep?
[00:43] <cube_> both but i am sure if i disconnect the dvi it won't enable the s-video
[00:43] <Corndawg_> bkar> for grouping
[00:43] <Alyxander> what is the easiest way to dual monitor in ubuntu, with two separate nvidia pci cards?
[00:43] <patrick_> I have just edited my x conf file and now I dont have any titlebars at the top of my windows, anyone know whats wrong?
[00:44] <bkar> Corndawg_-> i cant recall really, way too many things to remember
[00:44] <ffm> bkar: is there any other sound adapter I can use?
[00:44] <TATTERS> cube_: you could give it a shot I guess, else ure looking at duel monitor setup I presume
[00:44] <jetscreamer> dual
[00:44] <ffm> bkar: is there any other sound device I can use?
[00:45] <jetscreamer> oss or alsa take your pick
[00:45] <cube_> well i have 2 graphics cards in there right now and if i plug the one with only s-video in and nothing else it doesn't work and even without the cards SLI in xorg
[00:46] <ffm> jetscreamer: what is it's block device?
[00:46] <cube_> and for some reason i can't find nvidia-settings after i installed it through synaptic
[00:46] <ThipThip> bkar:  Is there any sense in trying to convert this partition to vfat or FAT32?
[00:46] <ffm> jetscreamer: VMware hates /dev/dsp
[00:47] <TATTERS> isnt that nvidia-setting-mamnger or sumat in terminal
[00:47] <cube_> i thought it had gui
[00:47] <bkar> ThipThip-> i would not convert anything if I were you..
[00:48] <bkar> ThipThip-> you can not mount this sdb1 at all?
[00:48] <ThipThip> bkar:  Apparently not.
[00:48] <ffm> bkar: any other /dev I can use other than dsp for sound?
[00:48] <snookie_> can anyone offer some technical advice with python?
[00:48] <ThipThip> bkar:  I must get this data back.  I'm loosing my mind right now.
[00:48] <TATTERS> cube_: I find sometimes the nvida setting manager  doesnt appear in my  menu after 1 of many installs
[00:49] <cube_> tatter so what should i do to access it?
[00:49] <bkar> ThipThip-> hang for a few..lets see what googles turns up
[00:49] <josspyker> ThipThip: you're data is still  there
[00:49] <patrick_> I have just edited my x conf file and now I dont have any titlebars at the top of my windows, anyone know whats wrong?
[00:49] <helix_> hello
[00:49] <Nockian> i'm trying to install mysql 4.0.27 on ubuntu 7.10 and get an error:   checking "LinuxThreads"... "Not found"   when i run ./configure. any ideas as to what i need to install to continue, or better yet a way to install mysql 4.0.27 through packages?
[00:50] <helix_> is there a command to see which kernel version i am using? i am having troubles with my dell vostro 1500 sound card sigmatel
[00:50] <TATTERS> well in terminal I thing u type nvidia-setting-manager  or use autocompleate after nvidia
[00:50] <ThipThip> josspyker:  HOw do you know my data is still there?  Even booting with the ubuntu liveCD won't mount the disk.
[00:50] <Nockian> helix_: 'uname -r'
[00:50] <bkar> ThipThip-> if I were you, for now, if you have another drive,  dd (disk dump) that sdb1 to save  a copy
[00:50] <snookie_> anyone offer python support?
[00:50] <ThipThip> bkar:  I do not have another drive even anywhere close enough to dump.
[00:51] <ThipThip> bkar:  in terms of size.
[00:51] <josspyker> ThipThip: oops, filesystem corrupt?
[00:51] <TATTERS> I know a few lines from the dead parrot sketch :P
[00:51] <snookie_> why do I get this IRC error #python :You need to be identified to join that channel
[00:51] <memzy> because your not identified
[00:51] <memzy> its refering to nickserv
[00:51] <bkar> ThipThip-> just that sdb1 not the entire drive
[00:51] <snookie_> memzy: how do I dentify myself
[00:51] <justinneed> hi, i can connect to the net using usb but not lan, any idea?
[00:51] <memzy> you first need to register your nick with nickserv and then to identify to it when you connect snookie
[00:51]  * ThipThip is trying to approach his problem with reason and a calm, rational head despite having altered the permissions on an NTFS permission and now being unable to mount it.
[00:52] <ThipThip> bkar:  What do you mean "just that sdb1"?
[00:52] <memzy> try /msg nickserv help
[00:52] <ThipThip> josspyker:  I don't know.  Would it corrupt a file system for me to have done what I did?  (Log in as root and try to change permissions on an NTFS partition)
[00:52] <snookie_> okay thanks
[00:52] <bkar> ThipThip-> that sdb1 is the only want you are interested in right? so you can dump that specific partition and not the entire hard disk
[00:52] <yisel> hola
[00:53] <yisel> hello
[00:53] <ThipThip> bkar:  The sdb1 partition is enormous - much too big to dump onto anything that I own.
[00:53] <geekchicohi1> Hey all, I'm having weeks of headache trying to get my ubuntu box back onto the internet. I've got a thread about it ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664227 ) but it hasn't gotten me very far yet. Can anyone offer any help either here or on the forums? Thanks!
[00:53] <yisel> hello every body here
[00:53] <yisel> estoy media perdida, sobre que es este chat?
[00:53] <limp> hello
[00:53] <bkar> ThipThip-> you dont need to dump it all at once, you can slice it into manageable chunks  like  bs=8192 count=1000 at a time
[00:53] <josspyker> ThipThip: don't think so I assume sbd1 is a usb disk
[00:53] <ThipThip> bkar, josspyker:  I am downloading ultimate boot CD.  I don't exactly know what I'm going to do with it, but I figure it can help.
[00:53] <crwlr> bkar: you a compiz guru?
[00:54] <yisel> hello, where are from people here?
[00:54] <bkar> crwlr-> nope, i envy you people with 3-d, my agp dont 8x dont work backwards with my 4x
[00:54] <ThipThip> josspyker:  No, sdb1 is my largest partition.  It has thousands of photos, video, audio, documents, etc
[00:54] <limp> why do i get this error when trying to compile: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create exectutables
[00:54] <josspyker> ThipThip: ubcd is a nice tool,but be carefull
[00:55] <nemilar> limp: install build-essentials
[00:55] <Starnestommy> limp: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[00:55] <limp> thank you
[00:55] <nemilar> np
[00:55] <bkar> ThipThip-> I do suggest that you get another drive of equal or greater size and transfer/copy via dd over to new
[00:55] <bkar> if it was that important
[00:56] <snookie_> memzy: thank you, that worked
[00:56] <ThipThip> bkar, josspyker:  Do you know exactly what right-clicking and using "permissions" does?  What does it modify?  Why is it so deadly for NTFS?
[00:57] <crwlr> bkar: im trying to get compiz working on my twinview now that i finally got that going
[00:57] <osotogari> hello all, i recently updated my x config to disable nvidias twinview settings and since then I have lost the titlebars on all my windows. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

[00:58] <bkar> crwlr-> I dont have graphics that can handle 3-D yet, so cant assist you
[00:58] <ThipThip> bkar:  What are inodes?
[00:58] <memzy> snookie: your welcome
[00:58] <crwlr> bkar: i realize that, but i just thought i would let you in on my new project

[00:58] <bod_> taters, desktop machine i assume?
[00:58] <taters> Yeah

[01:08] <bod_> crwlr,  im not gonna argue but that is ubuntu documentation,.,. although a compiz guy would know more
[01:08] <Duke_Fluke> xomp, acronis true image works well or you could use the 'dd' command
[01:09] <yogurt> where do I set default browser/email client? thanks
[01:09] <xomp> Duke_Fluke, I recall acronis, isn't that a application you'd have to pay for? I'd prefer free if possible heh
[01:09] <bod_> xomp, everything is free if u no where to look
[01:10] <trooprm02> DCC SEND LOLWTFBBQLOLOLOLOLOLWTFBBQGLITCHWORKSROFL

[01:10] <nemilar> yogurt: system - preferences - preferred applications
[01:10] <yogurt> ta
[01:10] <Duke_Fluke> xomp, yes it is....you could boot from a live cd and use dd then
[01:10] <xomp> Duke_Fluke, thanks, is dd hard to use?
[01:10] <Duke_Fluke> also their is g4u which stands for 'ghost for unix'
[01:11] <Duke_Fluke> xomp, nope easy as pie
[01:11] <xomp> Duke_Fluke, cool, is it installed on a typical ubunut installation? I'd like to give it a try :)
[01:11] <xomp> ubuntu*
[01:12] <limp> Would someone please help me with sound card issues? I installed ALSA modules successfully but I still don't get any sound. When I try opening sound control it says "no GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[01:12] <Duke_Fluke> xomp, lets say you have two drives and you want to image one to the other then i THINK the command is 'dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc' something like that...i think its pretty standard
[01:12] <linchapulin> Hi...I have just installed Gutsy..setup repos in synaptic...did a search for kernel, headers ,etc. Did see any packages are they installed default? I want to make sure I have my bases covered before installing the ATI fglrx driver specific to my card
[01:12] <Duke_Fluke> xomp, but they have to be the exact same size...
[01:12] <xomp> Duke_Fluke, awesome :D sounds simple enough. I use a laptop for ubuntu, wonder how difficult it would be to maybe dump the image over a network.
[01:13] <bod_> linchapulin, i think there default,. my sound orked out of the box after the driver install
[01:13] <xomp> Duke_Fluke, ahhh, ok :(
[01:13] <Duke_Fluke> xomp, I know that can be done...i've done it for that u definitely want to use g4u it it sweet but it will take some studying to learn it...
[01:13] <Duke_Fluke> it is
[01:14] <xomp> Duke_Fluke, sounds good, thanks for all your help :)

[01:16] <bod_> Dr_willis, cheers dude,. sounds like fun
[01:17] <jimmygoon> Why is xchat crashing when I try to cut text
[01:18] <limp> Would someone please help me with sound card issues? I installed ALSA modules successfully but I still don't get any sound. When I try opening sound control it says "no GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[01:18] <jimmygoon> yep, it crashed again :/
[01:18] <bod_> Dr_willis, doc i have a question,.,. ubuntu is asking me about other games,. it finished the download and its asking me about zelda and stuff
[01:18] <matkix> How do i install c compiler?
[01:19] <matkix> I'm attempting to install vmware and It needs it.
[01:19] <LjL> !build-essential > matkix    (matkix, see the private message from Ubotu)

[01:19] <bod_> matkix, install vmware through sunaptic and it will get c compiler for you
[01:19] <xomp> Got another question for anyone willing to entertain :) Since I'm fairly new to linux, would it benefit me to compile my own kernel? This laptop runs a bit slow and shouldn't considering it has a 3Ghz Dual-Core CPU, 1Gig RAM. Just curious if it still takes a degree from MIT to compile your own kernel still hehe
[01:19] <bod_> crwlr, i no,. ive been watching ur convo,. lol,. have fun
[01:19] <Dr_willis> bod_,  the game is very modable. Theres al sorts of neat variants in it.
[01:20] <crwlr> you bet!
[01:20] <bod_> Dr_willis, im gonna be hear for a long time!,. cheers dude
[01:20] <jimmygoon> matkix, sudo apt-get install build-essential

[01:22] <kestir> I notice that ubuntu doesn't use a .bash_profile but uses .bashrc instead.  Can I define $PATH in .bashrc?

[01:24] <kestir> Dr_willis: overlooking /etc/profile?
[01:24] <Dr_willis> kestir,  you can set the path in .bashrc if you want
[01:24] <bod_> LetsGo67,  no probs m8

[01:24] <Duke_Fluke> yeah rocks n' diamonds wheeeeee
[01:24] <LetsGo67> I am unable to use Intel Direct Rendering with Ubuntu, can someone help please?
[01:24] <Dr_willis> kestir,  it does one, then the other,, then the next.. :)  i forget the exact order. /etc/profile, then .bash_profile  whih normally then does .bashrc I think
[01:24] <kestir> Dr_willis: lol...that seems silly to me
[01:25] <Dr_willis> kestir,  untill you read the configs and see what eachone is doing.. dont make judgements. :P
[01:25] <matkix> How do you install vmware on the latest 64 ubuntu?

[01:25] <bod_> Dr_willis,  ur filling my computer with loadsa stuf!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers
[01:25] <kestir> Dr_willis:  ;)
[01:25] <scguy318> matkix: just use VMware's install script
[01:25] <LetsGo67> I cannot play StepMania, requires Direct rendering.
[01:25] <Dr_willis> kestir,  system wide settings in one, Login only settings in another.. then normal settings in the last. (i belive is the logic)
[01:25] <scauley> Is anyone familiar with Postfix
[01:25] <scguy318> LetsGo67: install relevant restricted driver
[01:25] <kestir> Dr_willis: but anyway, $PATH can be defined in .bashrc and it will be obeyed?
[01:26] <Dr_willis> kestir,  yes.
[01:26] <matkix> scguy318: I tried that however, It wanted kernal things and had an error and didn't finish.... got help?
[01:26] <kestir> Dr_willis: ok...thanks a lot, appreciate it
[01:26] <LetsGo67> scguy318, how do I do that?  ubuntu-restricted-drivers only shows something for HAL.
[01:26] <scguy318> matkix: you need to do sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[01:26] <asdfasdf> does anyone know what how to fix this, i cannot install any packages because i get this error: E: The package linux-headers-2.6.22-14 is not ok and I don't know how to fix it!

[01:26]  * ThipThip bursts through the doors of the channel, heavily panting over having just returned from the terrifying realm of UBCD
[01:26] <Dr_willis> kestir,  i got mine getting set in .bash_profile :)
[01:26] <scguy318> asdfasdf: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-headers-`uname -r` perhaps
[01:27] <kestir> Dr_willis: actually...$PATH isn't defined in /etc/profile
[01:27] <scguy318> LetsGo67: what card?
[01:27] <johnathon> ThipThip you dislike the boot cd?
[01:27] <Duke_Fluke> scauley,  lol terrifying?
[01:27] <scauley> lmfao
[01:27] <matkix> scguy318: "linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic is already the newest version." I'm guessing I already had them.
[01:27] <LetsGo67> scguy318: already latest version.  Intel GMA x3100
[01:27] <scauley> Duke _fluke nah
[01:27] <Dr_willis> kestir,  it may be getting defined in another script its calling.
[01:27] <ThipThip> johnathon:  No, but I just spent the last almost 2 hours thinking that every piece of data I treasure in the world could be gone.
[01:27] <scguy318> matkix: build-essentials too I think
[01:27] <scauley> I just need to modify the e-mail header
[01:27] <scguy318> matkix: since VMware will attempt to compile kernel modules
[01:27] <kestir> Dr_willis: hmm, how can I find this out?
[01:27] <scguy318> matkix: *installer
[01:28] <bod_> ThipThip, why? wots the prob?
[01:28] <johnathon> ThipThip why is that
[01:28] <matkix> scguy318: I already did that too. Do you want to see the error I get?
[01:28] <scguy318> matkix: sure
[01:28] <scauley> my e-mail headers are displaying the wrong DNS info.
[01:28] <scguy318> matkix: if its long pastebin it
[01:28] <asdfasdf> scguy318: that worked, thank you so much!
[01:28] <matkix> scguy318: "WARNING: could not find /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/.smac_linux.x86_64.o.cmd for /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/smac_linux.x86_64.o"
[01:28] <ThipThip> bod, Johnanthon:  Well, I did something very, very - and I mean somewhat but very - dumb.  I logged in as root and tried to change permissions on an NTFS partition, corrupting the boot sector.
[01:29] <Cromag> any of you know, on the top of the head, if Visual Studio works under Wine in Ubuntu ?
[01:29] <josspyker> ThipThip: download sytemrescuecd,it has nfts support, the data should still be there
[01:29] <scauley> What is the best way to recieve insight and support from other Ubuntu users in the channel?
[01:29] <unagi> !kde
[01:29] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[01:29] <bod_> ThipThip, ur using an ntfs,. i assume u have a windows machine?
[01:29] <LetsGo67> scguy318
[01:29] <ThipThip> bod_, johnathon, josspyker:  However, I just booted with the UBCD and restored the backup boot sector, and praise the heavens my drive is mounted once again
[01:29] <bkar> ThipThip-> that ultimate boot cd didnt help?
[01:29] <johnathon> ThipThip download Diamond CD it has a live cd on it that can un do what u did
[01:29] <Dr_willis> kestir,  start looking in etc I guess. :) i just did a  grep path *   in /etc/ and  got a lot of hits.. but  none i think are the initial path settings
[01:29] <ThipThip> bkar:  It did - I am mounted!
[01:29] <bod_> ThipThip, oh,.,.kk,.,.cool
[01:30] <kestir> Dr_willis: can I just 'echo $PATH'
[01:30] <kestir> errr
[01:30] <bkar> ThipThip-> okay its mounted, can you cat the data? edit?
[01:30] <ThipThip> bod_, johnathon, josspyker, bkar: I would like to know if any other data was corrupted, however.  What's the Ubuntu equivalent of chkdsk?
[01:30] <scguy318> LetsGo67: yes?
[01:30] <matkix> scguy318: Is there a way to just have apt do the install, so I know it won't get fucked up by me?
[01:30] <josspyker> ThipThip: good news,next time make backups next time
[01:30] <kestir> Dr_willis: can I just 'echo $PATH'...copy that info into my .bashrc and then add what I'm trying to add?
[01:30] <kestir> and not bother finding where else it's being defined?
[01:31] <phoenixz> Anybody else available who might know why mount cifs is hanging when I use a credentials file?
[01:31] <bkar> ThipThip-> pull out your reliable tape backup and make backup now, I command you..heh
[01:31] <ThipThip> bod_, johnathon, josspyker, bkar: Also, I really want to thank josspyker and bkar for your help.  I would probably be keeled over seriously having a heart attack right now.  Also also - now that I have learned the hard way, what is the proper way to make an NTFS partition become owned by a user instead of root?
[01:31] <scguy318> matkix: not really, VMware isn't packaged I believe
[01:31] <Dr_willis> kestir,  of course you could.
[01:31] <kestir> Dr_willis: ok great
[01:31] <Dr_willis> kestir,  depends on what you want to do with the path.
[01:31] <bod_> ThipThip, i think something like fsck
[01:31] <scauley> Does anyone have any experience with Postfix and reverse DNS problems?
[01:31] <Dr_willis> Ijust append the /home/USER/bin dir to mine
[01:32] <ThipThip> bkar:  My next mission is going to be isolating exactly which data is absolutely essential and backing up onto DVD
[01:32] <kestir> Dr_willis: I just want to add a directory in my home directory
[01:32] <kestir> Dr_willis: that I have scripts in
[01:32] <jimmygoon> Can someone else using the latest version of xchat try "cutting" text in the input box (note, for me, its causing xchat to crash....)
[01:32] <LetsGo67> scguy318, those headers are already there, no DRI.
[01:32] <scauley> Does anyone have any experience with Postfix and reverse DNS problems?
[01:32] <scguy318> LetsGo67: the Linux headers thing wasn't addressed to you I don't think, pastebin your xorg.conf
[01:32] <Dr_willis> kestir,  thats trivial :) export $PATH=PATH:/New/dir/to/add
[01:32] <l00kp> Hello. I need to load firmware for my linksys WPC54G card into ndiswrapper; anyone know how to do this?
[01:33] <LetsGo67> direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[01:33] <johnathon> ThipThip again try Diamond boot cd and boot up the Windows XT Mini PE it has software for configuring NTFS formats and ownership
[01:33] <Dr_willis> kestir,  http://www.hackosis.com/index.php/2008/01/14/linux-save-time-by-adding-directories-to-path/
[01:33] <josspyker> ThipThip: use the correct ntfs-g3 drivers,and backup the drive before you start messing around
[01:33] <poomonkey> hey does anyone know a good easy way to run a virtual cd drive
[01:33] <scguy318> LetsGo67: pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf, maybe you're not using the intel Xorg driver for some reason
[01:33] <poomonkey> i tried cd emu but i done know how it works
[01:33] <johnathon> poomonkey yes use deamon tools
[01:33] <ThipThip> josspyker:  What do you mean teh correct ntfs-g3 drivers?  What are these and where do I get them?
[01:34] <tyronep> Hi i had linux installed and I am trying to dual boot so I backed up my information and deleted my partitions. When I tried to install Vista again from my hard disk I get a Grub Error. What can I do?
[01:34] <scguy318> johnathon: doesn't work on Linux though :)
[01:34] <Starnestommy> tyronep: which error number is it?
[01:34] <scguy318> !ntfs-3g | ThipThip
[01:34] <ubotu> ThipThip: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:34] <poomonkey> how would i do that man sorry im really new to linux but i really want to learn
[01:34] <johnathon> scguy318 good point
[01:34] <fists_0f_furries> hello, I need help dual booting Win XP + Ubuntu 7.10
[01:34] <tyronep> Starnestommy, I am not sure it just says Grub error

[01:35] <johnathon> scguy318 im still gettin used linux i switched to ubuntu yesterday
[01:35] <scguy318> PKdoR: don't need to, why?
[01:35] <Starnestommy> tyronep: but it doesn't have a number with it?
[01:35] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871604
[01:35] <tyronep> Starnestommy, Maybe I am not sure
[01:35] <kestir> Dr_willis: is it PATH=$PATH: or $PATH=PATH
[01:35] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871604 Scguy318
[01:36] <ThipThip> scguy318, josspyker:  Indeed I have already installed ntfs-config, but I am still unable to read / write except as root.  I suspect I need to edit fstab?
[01:36] <josspyker> ThipThip: give me a minute, i will put in on pastebin
[01:36] <PKdoR> I was about to try o reinstall X-Fi on 64bit Ubuntu but I just decided scince im bough i for gaming and I do All my Gaming on Winblows I'll just use on board for Linux
[01:36] <fists_0f_furries> I am having an issue. After installing XP, I cannot access the grub bootloader.. I need the OS path for Ubuntu. I have enabled EXT2 support in windows, so I just need the line to punch in to the windows bootloader.
[01:36] <Dr_willis>  PATH=$PATH    You are setting a variable to  the 'contents of the variable' + extras :)
[01:36] <scguy318> ThipThip: probably, though all files should have permission 777 unless you're missing something, maybe umask=000?
[01:36] <Dr_willis> kestir,  some neat alias's here http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/postlfs/profile.html
[01:36] <PKdoR> scguy318:  couse I installed it and I want io uninstall it
[01:37] <ThipThip> scguy318:  What is umask?  How does it compare or contrast from chmod?
[01:37] <scguy318> PKdoR: find its dependencies and remove it, but no need
[01:37] <scguy318> ThipThip: umask is a fstab mount option, while chmod is a Unix command
[01:37] <fists_0f_furries> I am having an issue. After installing XP, I cannot access the grub bootloader.. I need the OS path for Ubuntu. I have enabled EXT2 support in windows, so I just need the line to punch in to the windows bootloader.
[01:37] <jimmygoon> Can someone tell me what message is coming up when my client is exitting/crashing?
[01:37] <scguy318> ThipThip: usually you would need it when mounting a FAT partition
[01:37] <kestir> Dr_willis: ah...nice
[01:37] <protcront> can anybody tell me how to check that laptop ram memory is extendible or not ?
[01:38] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871604 Scguy318 it's a pastebin.
[01:38] <ThipThip> scguy318:  I see.  While we're on the subject, is FAT more sustainable than NTFS?  Is there a compelling reason not to use NTFS?  I feel like it's shaky to the rafters after this experience.
[01:38] <fists_0f_furries> I am having an issue. After installing XP, I cannot access the grub bootloader.. I need the OS path for Ubuntu. I have enabled EXT2 support in windows, so I just need the line to punch in to the windows bootloader.
[01:38] <Starnestommy> fists_0f_furries: I don't think windows xp's bootloader can load ubuntu.  If it did, you'd need to load the kernel and the initrd into memory from /boot
[01:38] <fists_0f_furries> Oh.
[01:38] <chable> hi
[01:39] <fists_0f_furries> Well then how do I get to grub? :
[01:39] <l00kp> Hello. I need to load firmware for my linksys WPC54G card into ndiswrapper; anyone know how to do this?
[01:39] <johnathon> ThipThip from my experience NTFS is more secure
[01:39] <scguy318> l00kp: find a WIndows driver and load it
[01:39] <chable> anyone uses ubuntu together with a GPU G92 from nvidia ?
[01:39] <scguy318> ThipThip: NTFS is journaled, FAT is prone to cross-linking etc.
[01:39] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871604 Scguy318 it's a pastebin.
[01:39] <scguy318> ThipThip: but the up side of FAT is that everyone can read it
[01:40] <scguy318> LetsGo67: I see
[01:40] <l00kp> scguy318: I did load a windows driver with #ndiswrapper <driver.inf> -i   but it didn't load the firmware
[01:40] <ThipThip> scguy318:  I see.  And how does ext3 compare?
[01:40] <chable> is there any option to set up GPU fan speed in Ubuntu ?
[01:40] <scguy318> ThipThip: a lot better
[01:40] <vox> when is vmware-server going to be available for the 2.6.22-14 kernel?
[01:41] <scguy318> l00kp: you've written it backwards
[01:41] <ThipThip> scguy318:  Well then is there a compelling reason not to switch to ext3?
[01:41] <scguy318> ThipThip: not everyone can read it
[01:41] <vox> scguy318: rubbish
[01:41] <scguy318> ThipThip: Windows can't unless you install a third-party ext2 driver
[01:41] <scauley> /join
[01:41] <scauley> #kubuntu
[01:41] <ThipThip> josspyker:  Are you still working on that fstab to paste to pastebin?  If so, bless you.  :-)
[01:42] <lc> fists_0f_furries yes,you can get grub by using livecd or repair boot.
[01:42] <scguy318> vox: explain
[01:42] <nickrud> the windows ext2 driver wouldn't install on my vista ...
[01:42] <Malik_> hey can some1 help be with ubuntu installation...iam stuk on partition disks

[01:42] <ThipThip> josspyker:  If not, I might be able to figure it out with a little research and some assistance from the others in the channel.
[01:42] <Romina> hi
[01:42] <josspyker> ThipThip: I was trying to make it easy fr you
[01:42] <josspyker> Thi
[01:42] <ThipThip> josspyer:  Right on - thank you.
[01:43] <Romina> is any advanced user here who knows how to work with SMTP Servers?
[01:43] <Malik_> hey can some1 help be with ubuntu installation...iam stuk on partition disk??????
[01:43] <kestir> Dr_willis: Ok, I made a small script, put it in a directory, added that directory to my $PATH and then typed the name of that script.  Said not found.
[01:43] <xemacs> kestir, start a new shell
[01:43] <josspyker> ThipThip: install drivers edit sources.lst and fstab and of you go
[01:43] <Duke_Fluke> Romina,  whats your question?
[01:43] <Malik_> hellp can some1 help me out here???
[01:43] <kestir> Dr_willis: Do I need to give that script an alias and execute the alias?
[01:43] <kestir> oh
[01:44] <danbhfive> Malik_: whats the problem?
[01:44] <Malik_> iam stuk on the installtion
[01:44] <Malik_> i can't get past partition disks
[01:44] <kestir> xemacs: I named it fortune.sh
[01:44] <kestir> xemacs: does it need to be named fortune
[01:44] <ThipThip> josspyker:  I installed ntfs-config.  Would adding umask=000 to the fstab line help?  What does "user" do in this context?  Is fstab used to define ownership?
[01:44] <danbhfive> Malik_: do you know how partitioning works? or is the partitioner broken?
[01:44] <Malik_> how do i install ubuntu on my partion d?
[01:44] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, a special script requires an SMTP Server with no SSL Auth ... just plain as I understand it.   A local MTA is recommended.
[01:44] <xemacs> then to run it type "fortune.sh"
[01:45] <josspyker> ThipThip: yep
[01:45] <Malik_> i hav windows on this computer rite now
[01:45] <Malik_> and windows is on partion c
[01:45] <johnathon> danbhfive what is he partitioning for?
[01:45] <Malik_> and i made a partion d for this
[01:45] <Malik_> its 15gb
[01:45] <Duke_Fluke> Romina, ok sounds like maybe you want postfix or sendmail
[01:45] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, since I need to send emails to many people using email addresses of public providers (like hotmail,  gmail and so on)  my  private IP would cause my emails go directly to the SMAP folder
[01:45] <danbhfive> Malik_: ok, how much ram do you have?
[01:45] <Malik_> 512mb
[01:45] <arjuna> do people ever wait for me?
[01:46] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, so my question is:
[01:46] <poomonkey> is any one available to help me with fuse iso
[01:46] <Dr_willis> kestir,  check  Your $PATH and be sure its set right. and the scripts do need tobe executable
[01:46] <danbhfive> Malik_: ok, then you need to make another partition
[01:46] <Malik_> i idid
[01:46] <Malik_> partiton d
[01:46] <johnathon> poomonkey
[01:46] <Malik_> for this linux
[01:46] <poomonkey> i cant figure out how to open it i installed it from synaptic but cant find it
[01:46] <Dr_willis> kestir,  if you make a bin dir and put your scripts in there. I think the system auto adds bin if its found
[01:46] <Romina> how can I get a local MTA to NOT ask for SSL Auth,   BUT(!) the local MTA *must* connect to GMAIL's  SMTP Server and Auth itself with SSL and send it through GMAIL
[01:46] <josspyker> ThipThip: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g,check sources.lst,but backup the drive before
[01:46] <poomonkey> johnathon i sent you a pvm can you get on and help me please
[01:46] <johnathon> poomonkey do u have a cd burner?
[01:46] <poomonkey> yea
[01:46] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, and if my english would be better,  maybe you would understand me better *g*
[01:47] <danbhfive> Malik_: ok, now you should make another partition for swap, I'd say 1gig in size
[01:47] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, once more the last message?
[01:47] <johnathon> poomonkey i neverused a pvm
[01:47] <Malik_> swap
[01:47] <Malik_> wats swap?
[01:47] <poomonkey> ok brb gotta piss i appreciate your help
[01:47] <josspyker> ThipThip: google for it
[01:47] <Dr_willis> !swap
[01:47] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[01:47] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, PHP Script sends to local MTA -> [work finished for the PHP Script]  ->  Local MTA connects to GMAIL SMTP  using SSL and username/password  ->  GMAIL's SMTP  *really*  sends the email
[01:47] <Duke_Fluke> Romina, no thats ok....what are you using for a MTA?
[01:47] <Malik_> when i try to inatll ubuntu on my pation d it says no rrot files sytem is defined???????????????????????
[01:48] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, postfix I think
[01:48] <Malik_> can some1 plz help me out here
[01:48] <johnathon> !pvm
[01:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pvm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:48] <Romina> yep postfix
[01:48] <kestir> Dr_willis: ahh, the directory I added to $PATH didn't stay once I opened a new shell
[01:48] <Starnestommy> Malik_: make a partition that has / as a mount point
[01:48] <danbhfive> Malik_: we'll get to that, first, lets setup the swap partition
[01:48] <Malik_> wah?
[01:48] <Duke_Fluke> Romina, this is a very advanced question...way over my head I recommend checking out #postfix they should be able to help you out sorry
[01:48] <Romina> Duke_Fluke, please excuse my english,  I really do my best but describing such stuff in a foreign language can cause some problems

[01:48] <nickrud> Romina: it's been a while since I set up a postfix server, but what you need to look up is smarthost
[01:48] <bazhang> !who | Malik_

[01:48] <Romina> thank you Duke_Fluke,  good channel to start

[01:52] <Malik_> i donot get it ......no root file system is defined...wat do i do???????????????????????????????????????//
[01:52] <windego40> can i put WoW link on wine if i had Wow installed on anotehr drive partition in my comp?
[01:52] <bazhang> :{
[01:52] <linchapulin> where can I find libsnmp9-dev? synaptic doesn't find it
[01:52] <poomonkey> ok johnathon how do i do this thing
[01:53] <danbhfive> Malik_: I can help, if you'll listen
[01:53] <Dr_willis> Malik_,  using so many ?????????????????? tends to get you ignroed
[01:53] <Malik_> alrite
[01:53] <Malik_> i will listen
[01:53] <poomonkey> i installed fuse iso but i dont get a shortcut in my application menu
[01:53] <Malik_> but can u type a bit faster
[01:53] <R0N> Hello  people
[01:53] <Dr_willis> windego40,  you couldmake a script that runs 'wine /path/to/whatever/wow.exe' or similer.
[01:54] <bkar> !patience > Malik
[01:54] <johnathon> poomonkey im used to windows so bare wit me, try double clicking the iso if u have a cd burning software
[01:54] <bazhang> Malik_: people are trying to help you; use their nicknames in your response and take the time to spell out your words--this is not IM
[01:54] <poomonkey> i dont yet have the iso i was going to use the software to make it do i need to do that first
[01:54] <windego40> Dr_willis: um how ca i do that? >.>
[01:54] <danbhfive> Malik_: the problem is that you need to edit the new partition that you want to install onto, and set it to /    BUT you also need to setup a swap partition, 512mbs may be a little low.      But if you would like to just go ahead without swap, there is no harm in trying that.
[01:55] <arjuna> does people wait for me?
[01:55] <Malik_> danbdfive: wats swap?
[01:55] <poomonkey> its your virtual memory partition
[01:55] <nickrud> Romina: http://www.postfix.org/SOHO_README.html
[01:55] <danbhfive> Malik_: its probably something like right clicking, and selecting properties or something
[01:55] <johnathon> poomonkey do u want to make a copy of the cd or do you have to download the iso?
[01:55] <Malik_> danbhfive: and isn't 512mb ram enough for ubuntu?
[01:56] <danbhfive> !swap > Malik_
[01:56] <poomonkey> i want to rip my starcraft cd to my hdd so i dont have to carry it around with me when i go places
[01:56] <mikeincognito> how i set emerald as default wm on kde?
[01:56] <nickrud> Romina: yes, that's the concept, but you will need to set up a password for the smarthost, that page I gave you has some details
[01:56] <ubuntuo> poomonkey: use your ipod for a portable hdd
[01:56] <Malik_> danbhfive: so wat do i do now...can u giv me specific and simple steps
[01:57] <danbhfive> Malik_: I don't know, it depends on what you do with it.  There are some programs that can make use of more memory if you had it
[01:57] <danbhfive> Malik_: well, I would make another partition, about 1gig in size, and set it to swap
[01:57] <poomonkey> my ipod is full of music and i know i can do that but i dont want to have to cary around my starcraft cd so i wanted to rip it so i dont have to
[01:57] <johnathon> poomonkey use a cd burning software and save the iso to ur hdd then when u need a copy burn the iso to a thumb drive or simply install the game on the hdd and find a nocd crack
[01:57] <blayde> poomonkey, are you using wine to play starcraft?
[01:58] <poomonkey> yes
[01:58] <ubuntuo> poomonkey: why cant you rip it?
[01:58] <blayde> poomonkey, you have the .iso on your hard drive?
[01:58] <Malik_> danbhfive: how excatly do i set it to swap....and do i go to windows os to do this?
[01:58] <poomonkey> i can rip it i just havent tried yet and i dont know where to look for for a no cd crack
[01:58] <johnathon> poomonkey google it
[01:58] <danbhfive> Malik_: if you are using the ubuntu cd, no, you should be able to do it all in the installer
[01:58] <poomonkey> i allready have it installed and playable
[01:58] <ubuntuo> try: multiplayercheats
[01:58] <poomonkey> ok i just didnt think about it i didnt know that would work in wine
[01:59] <mikeincognito> how i set emerald as default wm on kde?
[01:59] <blayde> poomonkey, i have done the same and wrote a little script to mount the iso
[01:59] <Malik_> danbhfive:yes iam using the ubuntu cd ....but i can't see where i go to do that
[01:59] <blayde> poomonkey, and made a virtual drive in wine that the game can see
[01:59] <xe4wv2> will somebody see this..I tried to do apt-get install mysql-server Setting up mysql-client-5.0 http://pastebin.com/d6feba310
[01:59] <ClayBB> i have a quick question:
[01:59] <danbhfive> !iso > poomonkey
[01:59] <ClayBB> I have got the ubuntu installed, and ready for me to restart the computer, once i do, if there is any problems is there anyway I can reverse the install?
[01:59] <ClayBB> and if there is any problems with my wireless card on my laptop, is there anyway to fix it so that it will work with ubuntu?
[01:59] <brokenFUN> local drive, needs password to view, how do i disable?
[01:59] <johnathon> poomonkey i gonna turn u over to blayde he seems more experienced than i am
[02:00] <ubuntuo> how do i enable "Desktop Effects" for ubuntu?
[02:00] <danbhfive> Malik_: I think you have to resize your ubuntu partition to make room for the swap partition, then use the empty space to create the swap partition
[02:00] <bazhang> ClayBB: reverse the install? not sure what you mean; as far as getting wireless going perhaps someone here will help out
[02:00] <ManUnderground> Hey I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 server on a T40, but I get the following error on start up PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel.
[02:01] <ClayBB> like, if i don't like it, is there a way to uninstall it and use my windows XP again?
[02:01] <mikeincognito> how i set emerald as default wm on kde?
[02:01] <mikeincognito> [22:01] <ClayBB> like, if i don't like it, is there a way to uninstall it and use my windows XP again?..................of course
[02:01] <bazhang> ClayBB: best to just use the livecd for a while and see if you do like it--an install is a serious procedure
[02:02] <ClayBB> i've tried using the live CD, and when i would restart with it in the drive, it wouldn't boot up with the ubuntu running..so i just did the install..
[02:02] <ubuntuo> how do i enable Desktop Effects for ubuntu?
[02:02] <ubuntuo> !info Desktop Effects
[02:02] <ubotu> Package desktop does not exist in gutsy
[02:02] <ManUnderground> anyone have any idea how to work around that problem or even what the problem would mean? PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel.

[02:02] <bazhang> !ccsm > ubuntuo
[02:02] <ubuntuo> i have compiz installed
[02:03] <mikeincognito> [22:01] <ClayBB> like, if i don't like it, is there a way to uninstall it and use my windows XP again?...........format the linux partition and reboot the pc...put a windows cd into your pc and select rescue mode and write (fixmbr) and (fixboot)
[02:03] <j0> My ubuntu server just crashed, and now it's "rebuilding" the software raid1... shouldn't i be able to access the data while it's rebooting?
[02:03] <j0> the drives appear to be zero'd out?!?!
[02:03] <Malik_> danbhfive: i really want to discover, examin, and explore linux
[02:03] <danbhfive> Malik_: take a look at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[02:03] <ubuntuo> nickrud, bazhang: what about AWN?
[02:04] <nickrud> ubuntuo: it's not in ubuntu, you'd have to install it from a 3d party repo
[02:04] <danbhfive> Malik_: I understand what you are saying, but its very hard for me to help you, since I'm not sitting at your computer, one sec
[02:05] <ubuntuo> ok thanks nickrud. Is it easy to install?
[02:05] <ClayBB> what's the way to partition my hard drive so that i can have XP and Linux on there at the same time, and I can choose which to boot with?
[02:05] <j0> oh my.. i have 1 array setup, but linux has setup md0 and md1... md0 it's rebuilding (wth?) and md1 i can see my files
[02:05] <Dr_willis> ClayBB,  thats how its normally done.
[02:05] <Dr_willis> ClayBB,  windows on first partition, linux after that
[02:06] <ClayBB> so it should automatically do it?
[02:06] <nickrud> ubuntuo: you would add the repo to your sources.list , and the just apt-get install it. Me, I don't use 3d party repos unless I know the provider very well
[02:06] <ubuntuo> nickrud: I edited my "avdanced desktop effects" but i dont see any changes... is it enabled?
[02:06] <Guest53663> Some body speack portuguese here ? I needed help :(
[02:06] <Dr_willis> ClayBB,  the installer can resize the windows partition and isntall linux in the free space
[02:06] <danbhfive> Malik_: go to the section on resizing partitions, see if that helps
[02:06] <bazhang> !pt
[02:06] <Malik_> danbhfive"alrite
[02:06] <nickrud> ubuntuo: did it accept the change? do the menus and windows have shadows?
[02:06] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[02:07] <ubuntuo> no they don't I dont think it accepted the change
[02:07] <ubuntuo> i clicked the "box" to enable the effects.... but nothing happend
[02:07] <Guest53663> tks ;)
[02:07] <ClayBB> dr_willis:  so is that done automatically, or do i have to do that myself? because I don't think I was given an option of doing that
[02:07] <nickrud> ubuntuo: what kind of video card do you have, precisely?   lspci | grep -i vga    in a terminal will tell you
[02:08] <ubuntuo> nickrud: not sure, but i once had it installed 1 week ago
[02:08] <ubuntuo> and it was working
[02:08] <ubuntuo> i dont think i properly installed it. I got it from my Synaptic Package Manager.
[02:08] <Dr_willis> ClayBB,  i always do it manually with a gparted live cd. Because i want to 'controll' it. Vista can resize ntfs partitions also if you have it.
[02:08] <ubuntuo> It says its "Installed"
[02:08] <nickrud> ubuntuo: gotta start somewhere, what video chip/card?
[02:08] <ubuntuo> ok
[02:09] <Strangelet> I am trying to setup my Belkin F5d9230-4 router to work with my default Comcast modem, but the CD only works with Windows and Mac. I attempted to run it with Wine, but came to no avail. Could anyone give me a hand?
[02:09] <ubuntuo> i think its a nvidia something.... from year 2000
[02:09] <ubuntuo> haah
[02:09] <nickrud> ubuntuo: I gave you a command that will say exactly ...
[02:09] <ubuntuo> oh i didnt see it... let me read it again
[02:10] <ubuntuo> nickrud:  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX200] (rev b2)
[02:10] <ubuntuo> its compatable, cause i had compiz running before
[02:10] <limp> Ok i've been trying to fix this since 2 days now..... How do I setup GStreamer plugins? I installed ALSA modules correctly, trying all the methods i got for vostro 1500, but I still get no sound and no devices to choose from in sound admin panel.......
[02:11] <bazhang> !blacklist
[02:11] <nickrud> ubuntuo: system->admin->restricted manager , do you have the nvidia restricted driver enabled?
[02:11] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[02:11] <ubuntuo> nickrud: yes it is enabled and in use
[02:11] <nickrud> ubuntuo: but be forewarned, I'm not particularly knowledgeable about nvidia cards, I can only mention some obvious stuff
[02:12] <nickrud> ubuntuo:  in a terminal,   glxinfo | grep direct  , does it say yes?
[02:12] <LetsGo67> (tests)
[02:12] <ubuntuo> nickrud: direct rendering: Yes
[02:12] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318
[02:12] <nickrud> ubuntuo: then ,   alt-f2  compiz --replace
[02:13] <danbhfive> does gparted work?
[02:13] <ubuntuo> ok nickrud: now what?
[02:13] <ubuntuo> my screen flashed a few times....
[02:13] <alixthedark> does anyone know anything about open arena?
[02:13] <danbhfive> alixthedark: ive played it
[02:14] <nickrud> ubuntuo: should have compiz running.   install compizconfig-settings-manager and have some fun
[02:14] <alixthedark> how do you add tiers to it
[02:14] <[M]orpheus> I can't find the menu bindkeys shortcuts, under System/Preferences, isnt there, why? How do I install it?
[02:14] <ubuntuo> can i get compizconfig-settings-manager from the package manager?
[02:14] <nickrud> ubuntuo: yes.
[02:14] <void^> geforce2 needs Xgl for compiz
[02:14] <ubuntuo> thanks a lot :)
[02:15] <danbhfive> alixthedark: dont even know what tiers are, I could never get it fully working.  only deathmatch worked for me
[02:15] <nickrud> void^: it does? Thanks.  ubuntuo  install  xserver-xgl  and log out and back in, along with installing the compizconfig-settings-manager
[02:15] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318
[02:15] <alixthedark> ok
[02:15] <alixthedark> thanks aniway dan
[02:15] <Nin10dude> I'm having some boot-up trouble - it tells me that I need to run fsck manually, and when I try, it always tells me that my hard drive's location won't work - now, I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I've tried all the typical stuff (such as /dev/sda1/) - is there any way for me to find out exactly what it is?
[02:16] <nickrud> void^: thought only the ati's needed xserver-xgl.  Like I said earlier, I'm not really up on nvidia only reasonably good with ati
[02:16] <ubuntuo> yes compiz-config-settings-manager is already installed

[02:16] <ubuntuo> xserver is not installed yet nickrud
[02:16] <void^> nickrud: nvidia's legacy driver doesn't support aiglx
[02:16] <danbhfive> Nin10dude: did you try running it with no args at all?
[02:16] <nickrud> void^: guess I'll have to learn the numbers of the driver releases and read some notes :)
[02:16] <ubuntuo> nickrud: do i need xserver for deskstop effects to work?
[02:17] <LetsGo67> Anyone can help me get direct rendering on an Intel GMA X3100 please?
[02:17] <nickrud> ubuntuo: xserver-xgl yes. void^ 's been around the block
[02:17] <alixthedark> can someone help me with open arena?
[02:17] <|chiz|> Hey does anyone know of a fast cd burning tool?  The ones I've tried are sooooo slowww
[02:17] <|chiz|> I'm buring music cd's from mp3s
[02:17] <Malik_> can some1 help me out here
[02:17] <limp> Yessss my sounds now works, finally my perfect installation =D
[02:17] <Dr_willis> |chiz|,   could be the burner is not being told to burn as fast as it can.
[02:17] <ubuntuo> thanks for the help nickrud. Going to restart and see if it works
[02:17] <Nozy> hi guys
[02:18] <Malik_> can some1 help me out with the install of this?
[02:18] <nickrud> ubuntuo: just log out and back in, no restart needed
[02:18] <|chiz|> Dr_willis: its not that its the preprocessing that is going on, the actual burn process is fine
[02:18] <ubuntuo> ok
[02:18] <ubuntuo> btw nickrud. This is offtopic, but what is your !uptime
[02:18] <Dr_willis> |chiz|,  how fast a system you got then?
[02:18] <danbhfive> Malik_: are you there?  I got the partitioner started, I may be able to help you better
[02:18] <nickrud> ubuntuo: a few hours
[02:19] <ubuntuo> oh okay
[02:19] <|chiz|> Dr_willis: 1.7 Core Duo
[02:19] <Malik_> i hav to ask u sometin els
[02:19] <Malik_> i reastred the installtion
[02:19] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318
[02:19] <nickrud> ubuntuo: let me know if it works fine, nearly dinner time here
[02:19] <danbhfive> Malik_: can we talk in pm?
[02:19] <Malik_> sure
[02:19] <Dr_willis> |chiz|,  You may want to try some other apps.. but most all use the same backend tools to do the various conversions.
[02:20] <|chiz|> Dr_willis: Yeah that is what I'm thinking, I was just wondering if anyone has run into the same issue when burning music cds from mp3s
[02:20] <[M]orpheus> I can't find the menu bindkeys shortcuts, under System/Preferences, isnt there, why? How do I install it?
[02:20] <Lifeisfunny> I just thought I'd stop in and tell everybody I love my OS.  :)
[02:22] <pvl1> even after turning of the option to  remember what windows i had open in the sessions manager, ubuntu reloads the session at which i turned of the option
[02:22] <melanie> hey all
[02:22] <latus> hey all.. wich is the best brand of video card for linux ?
[02:22] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318
[02:22] <melanie> so i have a machine that doesn't seem to like linux...
[02:22] <melanie> i'm getting errors with authentication failing when i try to run opera or firefox
[02:22] <melanie> and neither will open
[02:23] <melanie> is there a unified config section i need to blast or something?
[02:23] <bazhang> for 3d stuff probably nvidia; for overall support intel; for headaches ati
[02:23] <melanie> i rm'd all the related firefox stuff because i wanted to do a fresh install, and i haven't been able to get it running since
[02:23] <danbhfive> melanie: maybe you need to reinstall it
[02:24] <LetsGo67> http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318
[02:24] <scguy318> LetsGo67: looking
[02:24] <melanie> danbhfive, linux entirely?
[02:24] <danbhfive> melanie: I was thinking of firefox
[02:24] <y_o_u> evening everyone. having an issue getting a belkin 7050 usb wireless card working with gutsy. mind having a go at http://rafb.net/p/c31FWJ81.html and sharing some wisdom on whats going on? appreciate it
[02:24] <melanie> danbhfive, i have tried, it doesn't seem to work.  i've tried the repo's and the .tar.gz file from firefox's website
[02:24] <soldats> apt-get reinstall firefox
[02:25] <melanie> soldats, done that
[02:25] <melanie> i use aptitude
[02:25] <melanie> but i've done that
[02:25] <soldats> i use aptitude as well
[02:25] <soldats>  most people here dont though
[02:25] <scguy318> LetsGo67: #
[02:25] <scguy318> (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[02:25] <melanie> aptitude is much better at cleaning stuff up
[02:25] <melanie> especially when you use it to install
[02:25] <scguy318> bleh that fell into another line
[02:26] <scguy318> LetsGo67: lemme see about rectifying that issue
[02:26] <danbhfive> soldats: its interesting, apt-get doesnt have reinstall, but aptitude does
[02:26] <void^> danbhfive: apt-get has install --reinstall
[02:26] <von_Tros> is readahead-list important to boot?
[02:26] <LetsGo67> ScGuy318, do I add a # in front of that line?  Thanks for your help so far, man.
[02:26] <extracted> I think I am having problems with the driver for my Graphics card
[02:26] <danbhfive> void^: ah, cool
[02:26] <void^> von_Tros: no
[02:27] <limp> !lamp | limp
[02:27] <melanie> so i did an aptitude reinstall firefox, and when i run firefox from the terminal it doesn't put anything out
[02:27] <scguy318> LetsGo67: that's a line from the log file that shows the issue
[02:27] <melanie> it just goes to the nextline, and firefox is nowhere
[02:27] <extracted> I cant get any applications that require a 3d accelerator to work just says i dont have the correct pixle shaders, but I have a ATI radion 9800 xt card
[02:27] <RazzoRz> hey folks!... trying to install Slimdoc, but is comeing up with a Dependency issue.. looking for libwnck18.. but libwnck22 is installed.. how can i fix this issue
[02:27] <extracted> and I dont think I have my drivers installed or configured correctly can some one help me
[02:27] <scguy318> LetsGo67: the little # is from the pastebin I thinkz
[02:28] <bazhang> !info slimdoc
[02:28] <ubotu> Package slimdoc does not exist in gutsy
[02:28] <LetsGo67> scguy318, gotcha.
[02:28] <RazzoRz> Ty for that , how can i get around this?
[02:28] <scguy318> LetsGo67: what does ls -l /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so say?
[02:29] <scguy318> should be a one-liner
[02:29] <melanie> the only way i can get firefox or opera to run is if i run them as root
[02:29] <regeya> !
[02:29] <tyronep> can I burn a cd from the live session?
[02:29] <von_Tros> void^, what does it do? I have problem with boot. Bootcharts show me readahead-list which have 75s :(
[02:29] <Malik_> can some1 help me wit the installtion of ubuntu version 7
[02:29] <melanie> tyronep, how many drives do you have?
[02:29] <regeya> melanie what are the results of ls -l `which firefox`
[02:29] <ThreeFingerPete> no, be cause you need a cd in
[02:29] <danbhfive> melanie: hey there, that sounds like a permissions problem
[02:29] <stunatra> How do I get Kubuntu installed WITHOUT Compiz?
[02:29] <bazhang> with what cd drive tyronep?
[02:29] <bazhang> stunatra: just install
[02:29] <danbhfive> melanie: sudo chown user:user ~
[02:29] <ubuntuo> hey nickrud: it didnt work.....
[02:30] <tyronep> only one cd drive
[02:30] <Dr_willis> stunatra,  kubuntu does not include compiz
[02:30] <regeya> stunatra: huh?  compiz is not a kubuntu requirement
[02:30] <Dr_willis> stunatra,  ubuntu does.
[02:30] <void^> von_Tros: readahead is supposed to load a number of files into the cache to speed things up later on
[02:30] <melanie> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[02:30] <melanie> oops
[02:30] <melanie> 1 sec
[02:30] <tyronep> melanie, only oone cd drive
[02:30] <danbhfive> melanie: user should be your user, I think that command should work
[02:30] <melanie> 0 /usr/bin/firefox
[02:30] <CalvinH> where would the best place to get nfs4 support from be?
[02:30]  * regeya looks at his kubuntu install...nope, no compiz requirement
[02:30] <melanie> danbhfive, i'll try that
[02:30] <stunatra> errr I meant Ubuntu.
[02:30] <melanie> tyronep, i don't think so
[02:30] <RazzoRz> is there a way to have Simdoc on gusty? or even a Stable Doc platform??
[02:30] <LetsGo67> scguy318: apparently don't have that file, could that be the problem?
[02:30] <CK_L> who know configure aticonfig ? i want set display monitor and tv .
[02:30] <stunatra> ok thanks guys.
[02:30] <tyronep> bazhang, with the same one
[02:30] <regeya> oh, heh, wow, ubuntu REQUIRES compiz now?
[02:30] <von_Tros> void^, do you have idea, where is a problem?
[02:31] <bruenig> !find /usr/bin/find
[02:31] <scguy318> regeya: no
[02:31] <stunatra> regeya, Compiz comes with Ubuntu by default now.
[02:31] <ubotu> File /usr/bin/find found in findutils
[02:31] <scguy318> LetsGo67: that must be it, lemme see how to rectify
[02:31] <bazhang> tyronep: where will you put the livecd during this burn?
[02:31] <melanie> danbhfive, it was a permissions issue... wth?!? i don't know.  thanks tho
[02:31] <Malik_> could some1 help me out?
[02:31] <danbhfive> melanie: it just sets you as the owner to everything in your home directory, which is as it should be,   I think ls -al will show you if there are any problems
[02:31] <scguy318> bruenig: that finds a file in any package?
[02:31] <upperdecker> can't get wusb11 v2.8 to work with 7.10.  seems to see the network but won't actually connect
[02:31] <upperdecker> damnit
[02:31] <tyronep> bazhang, that's what i am trying to figure out
[02:31] <LetsGo67> scguy318, thanks man.
[02:31] <technogenius> anyone know anything about the ALC888 sound driver for linux?
[02:31] <Malik_> hello....???
[02:31] <melanie> now i can't write to my home directory?
[02:31] <bruenig> scguy318, supposed to
[02:31] <melanie> what should the permissions of ~ be?
[02:31] <scguy318> bruenig: cool
[02:32] <bruenig> !info apt-file | scguy318 this is what it is using
[02:32] <ubotu> scguy318 this is what it is using: apt-file (source: apt-file): APT package searching utility -- command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 13 kB, installed size 100 kB
[02:32] <danbhfive> melanie: you should own it
[02:32] <testfire> Hey I know this isn't the #fluxbuntu channel but does anyone know how to setup a wireless card on fluxbuntu, my card is a NetGear WG511T. There isn't anyone around in the fluxbuntu channel so I'm asking here...
[02:32] <bazhang> tyronep: that was a rhetorical question; you might try using a pendrive to boot
[02:32] <Dr_willis> melanie,  check the permissions of /home/USERNAME  (with ls -l /home/username)
[02:32] <melanie> danbhfive, no i mean like 777 0666 or what
[02:32] <Dr_willis> oops i mean ls -l /home
[02:32] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:32] <melanie> Dr_willis, what should i see?
[02:32] <void^> von_Tros: i'm not too familiar with it.. you can use '/etc/init.d/readahead start' to reproduce it in the running system, perhaps take a glance at /etc/readahead/ ..
[02:32] <Dr_willis> drwxr-xr-x 84 willis willis 4096 2008-01-24 07:26 willis
[02:32] <scguy318> bruenig: I see
[02:32] <Dr_willis> are mine.
[02:33] <scguy318> bruenig: thanks
[02:33] <melanie> drwxr-xr-x 40 melanie melanie
[02:33] <tyronep> how can i eject a cd from the terminal?
[02:33] <danbhfive> melanie: I dunno, it varies for me
[02:33] <Dr_willis> not a permission isue there then it seems melanie
[02:33] <geokeratz> tyronep, eject cdrom
[02:33] <bazhang> tyronep: then you will have no live session
[02:33] <Dr_willis> melanie,   see if the root user can make a file in /home/menanie
[02:33] <melanie> Dr_willis, well when i chown'd my ~ firefox now runs w/o root privelges
[02:33] <von_Tros> void^, thx
[02:34] <melanie> now it's asking me to create a profile, and when it tries it says i don't have permissions
[02:34] <melanie> i'm wondering what i need to chmod my ~ to
[02:34] <geokeratz> tyronep, is it working?
[02:34] <scguy318> LetsGo67: sudo aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dri
[02:34] <johnathon> hey what would u guys recomend for antivirus on ubuntu?
[02:34] <Dr_willis> melanie,  somthingdid not make since there. :)  firefox shouldent be running  as root anyway.. and your ownership is proper.
[02:34] <tyronep> Yes it is!!
[02:34] <danbhfive> melanie: that was the wrong command, im sorry
[02:34] <scguy318> !antivirus | johnathon
[02:34] <ubotu> johnathon: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus
[02:34] <danbhfive> melanie: ls -al .mozilla/ try that
[02:34] <melanie> Dr_willis, i know it shouldn't, but that was the only way it would run until i chown'd my dir
[02:34] <geokeratz> tyronep, then.... eject -t cdrom (for closing it)
[02:34] <Dr_willis> melanie,  if you chowned stuff IN ~ thats the same as chowning stuff in  your home dir. NOT the /home/username dir
[02:34] <LetsGo67> scguy318, how do you figure all of that out?  ;)
[02:35] <scguy318> LetsGo67: google and the apt-file tool that bruenig pointed me to
[02:35] <Dr_willis> well the perms of that dir i mean. :)
[02:35] <melanie> hrm
[02:35] <melanie> i'm confused
[02:35] <melanie> i just want firefox to work
[02:35] <johnathon> thanx scguy318
[02:35] <pooria> hi I don't have chroot  - becuase I can't run chroot command what I have to do ?
[02:35] <Dr_willis> ~ is just an alias to /home/whatever
[02:35] <melanie> Dr_willis, i know that
[02:35] <Dr_willis> melanie,  you may have some goofed up files in .mozilla  try renaming that dir.
[02:35] <LetsGo67> Bruenig, as in the guy who told me to sudo rm -r * ?
[02:36] <bruenig> LetsGo67, probably
[02:36] <danbhfive> melanie: the command I gave you just chowned the /home directory,  I meant to chown everything in it too,  I forgot a -R
[02:36] <melanie> Dr_willis, i rm'd that dir
[02:36] <Dr_willis> melanie,  as a test you could make a new user - see if firefox works for them
[02:36] <LetsGo67> Do I need to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace?
[02:36] <bruenig> LetsGo67, I still read that chat log from time to time when I need something to make me laugh
[02:36] <melanie> Dr_willis, i can guarantee it will
[02:36] <tyronep> i got my live cd out but when i inserted the other cd it is not mounted is there anything i can do
[02:36] <mauro> server irc.freenode.org
[02:36] <scguy318> mauro: freenode.net :P
[02:37] <tyronep> i tried mount /dev/cdrom and i got  mount: can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[02:37] <melanie> tyronep, don't eject the livecd while in the live environment.  now nothing will work
[02:37] <LetsGo67> Bruenig, do consider that I could have been using this on a machine with productivity (work) files with no backup on a CD or USB... the prank can go bad.
[02:37] <bruenig> LetsGo67, I'm sorry the scenario you just suggested seems only to make it funnier
[02:37] <LetsGo67> Take it a blessing that the computer had no files on it, Bruenig.
[02:37] <bazhang> tyronep: what you are trying to do is likely impossible
[02:37] <scguy318> LetsGo67: have you done ze install command?
[02:37] <fastfinger> What was that app to convert hex to decimal and vice versa, it started with x :X
[02:38] <bruenig> fastfinger, you can do it with printf
[02:38] <LetsGo67> scguy318, yes.  Do I need to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace?
[02:38] <bruenig> I think
[02:38] <scguy318> LetsGo67: did it complete successfully? yes
[02:38] <fastfinger> bruenig: it's command line thingy
[02:38] <melanie> ok so now i get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" when i run firefox.  it gives me a window that asks if i want to start a new session or restore an old session.  either option throws that error.
[02:38] <fastfinger> which i liked.. but now i can't remember
[02:38] <bruenig> fastfinger, yeah printf is a command in coreutils
[02:38] <Carbonflux> what does the User Folders Update deamon do ?
[02:38] <bruenig> it works like the printf in c
[02:38] <mEck0> Hi! I'm in the install process of ubuntu right now (at the partitioner) and wonder if I should create a partition for /boot? and whats the benefit of it if so?
[02:38] <fastfinger> ahh
[02:39] <LetsGo67> scguy318 and bruenig, thanks for your help so far, ttyl while I ctrl+alt+backspace.
[02:39] <fastfinger> but still... would be good to reemmber that old one
[02:39] <melanie> mEck0, i just make a separate partition for /home
[02:39] <Cpudan80> When I login to ubuntu, it says "you have new mail"
[02:39] <Cpudan80> How do I check it?
[02:39] <melanie> mEck0, you can make a separate partition for everything... but it gets confusing.  people do it so they can easily backup their system
[02:39] <Dr_willis> melanie,  interesting. and if you remove the .mozilla dir. and then run firefox it still crashes eh?
[02:39] <bruenig> Cpudan80, does it?
[02:39] <melanie> Cpudan80, /var/mail
[02:39] <melanie> i think
[02:39] <geokeratz> mEck0, better speed , more insurance . but i don't have 2 partitions :)
[02:40] <melanie> Dr_willis, ok so i removed the .mozilla directory from my home directory
[02:40] <scguy318> Cpudan80: type mail, gives you simple mail thingy
[02:40] <melanie> and now firefox doesn't run at all.  it just goes to the next line in the terminal, nothing
[02:40] <mEck0> melanie, geokeratz: okay
[02:40] <Cpudan80> I read it
[02:40] <danbhfive> melanie: I removed my .mozilla folder, and firefox runs fine, so I think its not the folder that is the problem
[02:40] <Cpudan80> It was some stupid cron job that ran
[02:41] <melanie> danbhfive, ok... so what should i try now
[02:41] <void^> melanie: make sure there aren't any dead firefox processes lingering on
[02:41] <melanie> because i can still run firefox as root just fine
[02:41] <danbhfive> melanie: well, honestly, as a non-expert myself, and seeing as you have a separate /home partition, I would reinstall ubuntu
[02:41] <melanie> void^, there isn't... i did a sudo killall *firefox* no processes killed
[02:42] <bazhang> why run firefox as root?
[02:42] <melanie> fark... danbhfive but my /home partition seems to be the problem
[02:42] <melanie> bazhang, because it won't run as a normal user
[02:42] <scguy318> LetsGo67: welcome back
[02:42] <melanie> i'm just saying that's the ONLY way i can get firefox to run, is as root.
[02:42] <bazhang> that would be worrying
[02:42] <LetsGo67> Scguy318, thank you, and thanks, StepMania 4 runs!
[02:42] <melanie> tell me about it
[02:42] <danbhfive> melanie: how can you tell?  I wouldn't think it would cause you this much trouble
[02:42] <melanie> it's driving me nuts
[02:42] <melanie> danbhfive, how can i tell what?
[02:43] <scguy318> LetsGo67: have fun
[02:43] <scguy318> LetsGo67: I'm going to go have fun now :P
[02:43] <danbhfive> melanie: how can you tell that its your /home thats the problem?
[02:43] <LetsGo67> Scguy318, Direct Rendering: Yes.  Thanks man!  Thanks Bruenig!
[02:43] <melanie> danbhfive, i'm assuming since i can run firefox as root
[02:43] <melanie> but not as a normal user
[02:43]  * bruenig tries to remember what he did
[02:43] <melanie> and when you had me chown -R that ~ directory it *tried* to start.  it asked me to create a profile, then said it didn't have write permissions
[02:44] <danbhfive> melanie: I think a better way to test that would be to create a new user, login, and see if you can start firefox there
[02:44] <bascule> test
[02:44] <melanie> danbhfive, i'll do that, but i can almost guarantee it'll work... so what's the next step if that does work?
[02:45] <danbhfive> melanie: well, it would show that you are right, that it is a problem with your /home directory, i think
[02:45] <achilles> hi, im currently installing ubuntu 7.10 what do i have to donwload to enable playback of commercial dvds? thanks
[02:45] <melanie> danbhfive, but what would be the next step if that's the case
[02:46] <bazhang> !dvd
[02:46] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:46] <danbhfive> melanie: I would compare our permissions of the .mozilla directory
[02:46] <melanie> so this is bad
[02:46] <melanie> i chmodd'd ~ to 777
[02:46] <melanie> and firefox runs no problem
[02:46] <CalvinH> has anyone here got experience with nfs?
[02:46] <johnathon> i need help i installed adobe flash for firefox and now whenever i go to log into something online it shuts down firefox what do i do?
[02:47] <melanie> what should i chmod ~ to?
[02:47] <jrib> melanie: recursively?
[02:47] <danbhfive> 766 i think
[02:47] <melanie> jrib, it'd be nice
[02:47] <danbhfive> 755 rather
[02:48] <jrib> melanie: no, I am asking if you did your chmod recursively
[02:48] <danbhfive> not recursive
[02:48] <arfonzo> hi, where's the ubuntu sparc channel? doesn't seem to be on the wiki
[02:48] <melanie> oh yes i did it with -R
[02:48] <jrib> melanie: well, that's bad
[02:48] <melanie> no crap it's bad
[02:48] <dehspehl> shouldn't homedir be 760 or something?
[02:48] <melanie> but now firefox is working
[02:48] <jrib> it's basically irreversible
[02:49] <danbhfive> melanie: why not just set it as 700 and be done with it  :)
[02:49] <melanie> meh
[02:49] <dehspehl> wait, how is it irreversible?
[02:49] <achilles> i like ubuntu:)
[02:49] <dehspehl> chmod should never be irreversible because it only changes flags not data
[02:49] <melanie> whatever
[02:49] <melanie> firefox is working
[02:50] <melanie> i don't care about the permissions of /home
[02:50] <jrib> dehspehl: because if I change every letter in this sentence to 'x' and then send it to you, you would not be able to figure out what the original sentence said
[02:50] <danbhfive> dehspehl: because the permissions vary, and chmod does not remember what it was
[02:50] <bazhang> achilles: as do we all (mostly) :}
[02:50] <dehspehl> melter: you care that you have 7 at least, or can run into some painful problems
[02:50] <bruenig> chmod is not reversed, you simply chmod it again
[02:50] <dehspehl> danbhfive: oh, right.. but most times you don't have different permissions inside home (I believe)
[02:51] <Carbonflux> does anyone know if I need to run avahi ?
[02:51] <achilles> ubuntu is awesome:)
[02:51] <mneptok> especially on a cracker
[02:51] <mneptok> or toast
[02:51] <freeholey> hey everyone
[02:52] <achilles> yeah and with some worm milk:P
[02:52] <jrib> eww, worm milk
[02:52] <achilles> lol
[02:52] <scguy318> Carbonflux: probably not, unless you're doing zeroconf networking
[02:53] <Carbonflux> ah, I have all static IPs
[02:53] <Carbonflux> so I guess I don't need it
[02:53] <Dr_willis> Its hard to train the worms to hold still - to get milked.
[02:53] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:53] <Taco> Hi guys
[02:53] <achilles> lol

[02:55] <Taco> PM
[02:56] <notyeta> here 10:55AM
[02:56] <Carbonflux> I noticed that one of my Ubuntu machines is connecting to europorium.canonical.com every few mins, I have my updates set to daily but it seems to connect with it way to often, has anyone else seen this ?
[02:56] <Taco> I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Would this be a good place to ask>
[02:56] <achilles> when is ubuntu 8 coming out?
[02:56] <scguy318> achilles: April '08
[02:56] <achilles> ok thanks:)
[02:56] <jrib> Taco: about ubuntu, yes, just ask
[02:56] <notyeta> two monthes later
[02:57] <bazhang> april 2x achilles
[02:57] <Taco> I'm working on installing LIRC
[02:57] <achilles> yeah
[02:57] <Taco> I'm trying to follow these directions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=10665
[02:57] <bruenig> scguy318, will you try to install this for me, I have to package this program for some people who use ubuntu but I don't use it or debian and so I don't know if the deb actually works: http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/matthew/extemp/extemp-0.1.0.deb
[02:57] <johnathon> hey seen how the adobe flash installer is broke i have to reinstall adobe when they get it fixed to fix mine?
[02:58] <Taco> uname -r returns
[02:58] <scguy318> bruenig: sure
[02:58] <Taco> 2.6.22-14-generic
[02:58] <achilles> what apps do you guys recommend for someone who just installed ubuntu 7.10?
[02:58] <bruenig> what is sad is that packaging without dpkg is about as easy as packaging with it
[02:59] <bazhang> frozen bubble achilles
[02:59] <progrock> achilles:  thunderbird
[02:59] <Taco> $ sudo apt-get source kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic
[03:00] <scguy318> bruenig: complains about corruption or w/e
[03:00] <bruenig> hmmm
[03:00] <Taco> returns E: Unable to find a source package for kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic
[03:00] <johnathon> how do i unistall adobe flash?
[03:00] <achilles> thanks
[03:00] <scguy318> bruenig: dpkg-deb: file `extemp-0.1.0.deb' is not a debian binary archive (try dpkg-split?)
[03:00] <scguy318> bruenig: maybe I screwed up somehow, but I just wgetted the URL you gave me
[03:00] <bruenig> scguy318, no you didn't screw up, let me see what the deal is
[03:01] <Taco> John, click applications, Add/Remove
[03:01] <Taco> Search for flash
[03:01] <Taco> Uncheck and apply
[03:01] <Taco> enter PW and your good
[03:01] <pvl1> ubuntu keeps loading these reccurent windows when i log back in, and i turned of remember session
[03:02] <tumbleweed__> has anyone packaged latencytop for ubuntu yet?
[03:02] <johnathon> Taco does it matter that im using breezy?
[03:02] <dehspehl> pvl1: I believe you have to remember session logout cleanly with what you want in startup then turn it off
[03:02] <achilles> is it possible to use google earth offline?
[03:02] <Taco> John, it shouldn't matter, uninstalling should be the same
[03:02] <bazhang> if you cache it yes achilles
[03:02] <pvl1> dehspehl, that might be it, i shoudl try that, brb
[03:03] <progrock> is there a way to have compiz-fusion in gutsy remember window placement?
[03:03] <achilles> bazhang how do i do that?
[03:03] <dehspehl> progrock: It would be a compiz-fusion option in Compiz-config settings manager
[03:03] <regeya> progrock: none that'll stick, last I knew...heck, good luck getting compiz-fusion to remember that you want the window-sizing plugin enabled.
[03:04] <bazhang> achilles: just make a tour of places you want to check out--google earth should do the cache itself
[03:04] <johnathon> taco when i search for it doesnt find it
[03:04] <achilles> oh lol thanks
[03:04] <dehspehl> progrock: At least I remember being able to do that when I used compiz
[03:04] <progrock> hmm...ok - i never really got it to remember when I used beryl, I don't know why I expect a different result now
[03:04] <bazhang> breezy is 5.04?
[03:04] <Taco> PMed John
[03:04] <scguy318> bazhang: think so
[03:04] <p1> Hi - can anyone recommend a terminal emulator that has live wrapping of output, or allows string search on the output?
[03:04] <achilles> is it possible to use kate in gnome?
[03:05] <bazhang> wow is that still supported?
[03:05] <scguy318> achilles: yes
[03:05] <scguy318> bazhang: no
[03:05] <johnathon> !PMed
[03:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pmed - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:05] <bazhang> sure achilles
[03:05] <dehspehl> if you are running 5.04 it's better to just get new ISO and reinstall, saving your home and such
[03:05] <bazhang> thanks scguy318!
[03:05] <tomjoyce> hi
[03:05] <johnathon> taco is PMed a command
[03:05] <ThreeFingerPete> is there such a thing as a ram disk in ubuntu?
[03:05] <scguy318> ThreeFingerPete: yes
[03:05] <bazhang> johnathon: your breezy is no longer supported
[03:05] <ThreeFingerPete> i am considering getting a i-ram and installing on that.
[03:05] <scguy318> ThreeFingerPete: ramfs
[03:06] <Taco> ..no I opened a message, should be a seperage box or on the left, depends on your client
[03:06] <ThreeFingerPete> then have my /home on a regular disk
[03:06] <Taco> You should see my name somewhere
[03:06] <johnathon> bazhang ik
[03:06] <pammi22> hi how ru guys i nwe to this group
[03:06] <achilles> thanks for everones help:)
 thanks
[03:06] <dehspehl> ThreeFingerPete: you don't really install things to a ram disk
[03:06] <burner> anyone around who knows how to find a username and password that nautilus stored for me?
[03:06] <ThreeFingerPete> dehspehl: you can on thge i-ram pci card
[03:07] <dehspehl> ThreeFingerPete: ahh, it's constantly powered?
[03:07] <MrSmurfing> join #cisco
[03:07] <jhend60> whats the command to run a module
[03:07] <Taco> Should be named: Macromedia Flash plugin
 yes it is. it draws from PCI or sata and has a 16 hour battery for power failure
[03:08] <dehspehl> ThreeFingerPete: Hehe, would probably just be better to put swap on it
[03:08] <johnathon> Taco it still says no result found
[03:08] <dehspehl> ThreeFingerPete: well, if you actually need swap, not sure
[03:08] <bruenig> scguy318, try again: http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/matthew/extemp/extemp-0.1.0.deb
[03:09] <Taco> Then I am out of ideas... Sorry
[03:09] <johnathon> it k
[03:09] <cybermad> Sorry to cross posting: openoffice.org and ubuntu, i just want to know if someone on ubuntu have same problem like i am..
[03:09] <cybermad> I have very big problem with openoffice.org (use 2.2 and 2.3) on Feisty & Gutsy, i don't know the problem is specific to openoffice.org or ubuntu, so i have file/document server use Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, then i mount the shared folder with this command on /etc/fstab: //<IP_ADDRESS>/Tour /mnt/Tour cifs username=operation02,password=123456,auto,users,uid=mike,gid=users,file_mode=0644 0 0. Ok, the problem is when there is document on server *.odt,
[03:09] <cybermad> which is i use SAMBA - cifs) or Windows 2003 Server problem. But user on XP or Windows 2000 Pro and ofcourse use OpenOffice.org not complain about that problem. FYI: I tested with OO.org Calc on ubuntu, then save it to XLS (Microsoft Excel format) and it's fine.. so the only problem is OO.org Writer on Ubuntu
[03:10] <Carbonflux> do I need to run Tracker if I am not going to be using beagle ?
 i dont think i do! i've never touched swap! not even in windows xp
[03:10] <dehspehl> cybermad: is /mnt/Tour really mounted? the syntax looks odd
[03:10] <cybermad> so my tick is save from odt to doc first on ubuntu (example: Desktop), then copy it to windows shared folder
[03:10] <cybermad> *trick
[03:10] <jhend60> so how do i execute a module
[03:11] <Starnestommy> jhend60: a kernel module?
[03:11] <cybermad> and it works... the problem is if i did on fly save odt -> doc to windows shared folder
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> ThreeFingerPete: i'm guessing most people with even a remotely modern PC, don't need swap, but the installer whines and crys if you don't set one.
[03:11] <scguy318> Carbonflux: no
[03:11] <Carbonflux> thanks again scguy318 :)
[03:12] <scguy318> Carbonflux: no problem
[03:12] <pammi22> is any1 interested to chat with me
[03:12] <erik__> Hello- anybody want to help a newbie get kismet working?
[03:12] <dehspehl> cybermad: type mount, is /mnt/Tour in the list
[03:12] <cybermad> so the basic, converting odt to doc is fine... just problem if i save it to windows shared folder, or like i said before.. i save it first at my ubuntu, then copy it to windows shared folder
[03:12] <bruenig> erik__, the trick is editing the conf file
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> !anybody | erik__
[03:12] <ubotu> erik__: 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?

[03:13] <soldats> hi :P
[03:13] <pammi22> how ru
[03:13] <soldats> good
[03:13] <dehspehl> cybermad: It is in fact on the list? then it's probably OO.o problem
[03:13] <scguy318> bruenig: link again, I probably missed
[03:13] <CalvinH> whenever i try mounting an nfs4 share I get the error "no such device". I've gone through all the docs/faqs and setup guides i can find
[03:13] <erik__> bruenig, ubotu, Sorry. I got it. So- In the conf file- I set the source to my wifi driver- wha is the interface, name and etc, that I need to input?
[03:14] <CalvinH> anyone else seen this problem?
[03:14] <bruenig> scguy318, http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/matthew/extemp/extemp-0.1.0.deb
[03:14] <Taco> Going to release my problem this time hopefully closer together so someone can follow ;)

[03:18] <dehspehl> cybermad: okay, are you running OO.o as the same user as just copying?
[03:18] <bazhang> bye pammi22
[03:18] <pulicoti> how to fix it somehow
[03:18] <pammi22> u all r crazy
[03:19] <pammi22> ok bye
[03:19] <dehspehl> cybermad: and have you done the copy with command line 'cp'?
[03:19] <erik__> bruenig, thanks! I kinda saw that.. wouldnt have figured it out though. Thanks! *Inserts* However, when I run kismet, it doesnt work. I get this.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53411/   What am I overlooking?
[03:19] <cybermad> yes, i run as same user
[03:19] <bruenig> erik__, sudo kismet
[03:19] <cybermad> dehspehl what do you mean copying file?
[03:20] <pulicoti> having problem with the workarea selector
[03:20] <bruenig> man the ops are on top of it tonight
[03:20] <dehspehl> cybermad: how do you get the file from local to remote?
[03:20] <bruenig> look at how all 234 of them spring into action
[03:20] <cybermad> the problem is when i save the odt document to doc on the fly
[03:20] <void^> Taco: isn't linux-headers-generic enough to compile those modules?
[03:20] <erik__> bruenig, It didnt work before but that figures. Thank you very much for pointing things out to me! It works! Good day!
[03:20] <dehspehl> cybermad: what happens when you save odt to doc in somewhere like home?
[03:20] <cybermad> dehspehl i open icon like harddrive on desktop
[03:21] <cybermad> dehspehl if i save the odt to doc in ubuntu environment, then it's ok.. nothing corrupt
[03:21] <nalioth> pammi22: this channel is for support.  if you want a date, join #ubuntu-offtopic please
[03:21] <cybermad> the problem is if i did it on the fly
[03:21] <dehspehl> cybermad: error or "not on the server"?
[03:21] <arkara> i dont think u will have a problem
[03:21] <cybermad> i test it on OO Calc.. no problem, just OO writer cause that problem
[03:21] <void^> Taco: i suggest you use a newer guide - with kernel related things a 2+ years old howto probably won't help too much. it also links to an old lirc version.
[03:21] <dehspehl> cybermad: very, very odd
[03:22] <cybermad> dehspehl have you test it.. i test it on about 6 computers here
[03:22] <pulicoti> can someone help me please?
[03:22] <dehspehl> cybermad: honestly I don't have anything to test it -with-
[03:22] <cybermad> some use ubuntu Gutsy and Feisty, with OO 2.2 and 2.3
[03:22] <cybermad> all same! :(
[03:22] <crwlr> okay, i have emerald as my theme manager.  how do i go back to the default one?
[03:22] <p1> Hi - is there any terminal emulator that live-wraps output, or allows string search on the output?
[03:22] <dehspehl> cybermad: I'd have to buy a windows professional license or something crazy like that to match your environment
[03:23] <cybermad> i worry about ubuntu it self, openoffice.org writer, or connection to windows 2003 server
[03:23] <dehspehl> p1: string search is done via grep and piping usually
[03:24] <dehspehl> p1: i.e. $ ls | grep html
[03:24] <Taco> I just finished up putting together everything I said. Thanks void^ for responding. Let me just put it into conversation while I take another look for some information
[03:24] <Taco> I am working on installing LIRC. I'm trying to follow these directions: “http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30612&highlight=lirc”. First real step is to run “uname -r” to get your kernel version. It returns “2.6.22-14-generic”. Next step is to insert your version number in this expression, which I beleve I did, “$ sudo apt-get source kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic”. After prompting for the password it returns “E: Unable
[03:24] <Taco>  to find a source package for kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic”. Any ideas on how to move forward?
[03:24] <bcardarella> My laptop has a camera built into the top of the screen... are there any guides on how to access this device? (I'm not even certain who made it)
