[11:11] <DistroJockey> g0tcha, or you have Synaptic open
[11:11] <shedflex> simsx, indeed, one had hoped it would be a matter of just apt-get'ing a new package rather than a while new disk!
[11:11] <g0tcha> cq, i am using it with sudo
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> g0tcha: you got synaptic / adept open?

[11:14] <yit41> actionparsnip: i dont know anything about computer beyond the GUI
[11:14] <shedflex> faileas, the problem was before that I was trying to install xfce and fluxbox as individual packages - which didn't seem to quiet 'work' - but now I found the above namely the 'xubuntu-desktop' was the crux
[11:14] <frost> does any one know how to fix a sound on Ubuntu 8.04 for SiS S17012, any one who can help
[11:14] <faileas> shedflex: oh...

[11:15] <erUSUL> constrictor: ##java ??
[11:15] <cq> shedflex kubuntu-desktop is there too
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> yit41: you may want to address that
[11:15] <erUSUL> infornography: if you upgrade you keep all the tweaks and confs you may have made
[11:15] <shedflex> ctrl-alt-backspace is nice when u can't do anything else
[11:15] <cq> infornography: from scratch install is more work
[11:15] <shedflex> or, ssh'ing from another machine and killing gdm ):
[11:15] <Wasob> Anyone have experience with  FTPD?

[11:19] <yit41> shedflex: my first experience with linux was back in early 2000s, when win98 is still around
[11:19] <frost> last time some one told me here some modprobe and i fixit but right now no one helping

[11:19] <shedflex> frost, can get difficult - amazing that there's 1300+ people here
[11:19] <tmapj> action how do i install the drivers?
[11:19] <shedflex> yit41, heh, I've been using it since... ~1996
[11:19] <shedflex> yit41, I tend to swear a lot more at other OS's
[11:19] <shedflex> yit41, I presume google revealed nothing?
[11:20] <frost> yes , but i cant solve the problem :(
[11:20] <Warddr> hello, what do I have to do when I attach a beamer to my notebook and it doesn't work. Only the boot-menu is on the beamer screen

[11:21] <cq> if I want to remove the ubuntu desktop to go back to just kde, is there a way to remove all the dependencies that were installed?
[11:21] <yit41> shedflex: back then i was 10 or something and we dont have internet connection at home
[11:21] <shedflex> frost - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=506376

[12:10] <robert__> hello i'm trying get the screen resolution to work. The only choice i have is 800*600 and 640*480. Is there a simple way to fix this up. I've tried a few things but no luck so far.
[12:10] <ikonia> tmapj_: for future reference saying "anyone" is a pointless exercise, as if you asked the question, no -one knew, saying "anyone" won't help them know the answer, if someone missed the answer saying "anyone" won't let them know the question
[12:10] <ikonia> tmapj_: read the link you where just sent

[12:14] <m1dn1ght> I'm trying to completely re-install Firefox as it keeps crashing randomly, however even after going to synaptic and completely removing anything firefox related, rebooting, then reinstalling firefox, my add-ons are still listed in the browser.  Most of them have "uninstall" greyed out and says it will be removed after firefox is restarted, but they won't go away.
[12:14] <mr_boo> is "transmission" a good torrent manager?

[12:15] <ActionParsnip> then rerun firefox

[12:18] <ikonia> manifest_: use the useraddmin gui
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> m1dn1ght: that folder is your firefox config which may be to blame, when you rerun you will get a stovk firefox profile which you can rebuild
[12:18] <ikonia> manifest_: system --> admin --> users and groups
[12:18] <robert__> Jappsta: yeah i tried that it only has the same resolutions
[12:18] <manifest_> akonia: it wont let me de one
[12:18] <ikonia> manifest_: what does it say ?
[12:18] <m1dn1ght> ikonia - I suspected one of the add-ons was causing some kind of weird conflict.  there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for the crashes, so just wanted to start fresh.  Also, hardy comes with firefox 3 by default which is incompatible with some of my fav add-ons,
[12:19] <manifest_> the button to make a new one is grey, cant click it
[12:19] <ikonia> click unlock
[12:19] <m1dn1ght> ActionParsnip - That seemed to do the trick.  Hopefully!

[12:25] <berent> !dave
[12:25] <ikonia> allam: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdc6 /mnt
[12:25] <ikonia> allam: for example, that would mount hdc6 on the /mnt directory
[12:26] <berent> ikonia: how do i play dangerous dave on ubuntu ?
[12:26] <ikonia> European-African: what happens when you try to mount it
[12:26] <ikonia> berent: wh are you asking me ?
[12:26] <European-African> ikonia: I can even see it!
[12:26] <berent>  how do i play dangerous dave on ubuntu ?
[12:26] <ikonia> European-African: see it where
[12:26] <ikonia> berent: what is dangerous dave
[12:26] <European-African> ikonia: in mount
[12:26] <DJones> berent: There's a how to here http://fre-ebird.blogspot.com/2008/04/dangerous-dave-on-ubuntu.html
[12:27] <ikonia> European-African: because it's not mounted
[12:27] <ikonia> European-African: what file system is on it ?
[12:27] <zerboxx> bain: Just to let you know, I've got videos running full screen now! changed gstreamer-properties to No Xv

[12:27] <zamba> is dapper outdated/still supported?
[12:27] <ikonia> European-African: ok, so you should be able to mount it with "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/$device_file /$mount_point"
[12:27] <DJones> berent: I've not tried it, so don't know if it works, just passing the link on
[12:28] <berent> ikonia : cool DJones. Let me try. I will check it out.
[12:28] <ziod> hi all-- (newbie) question: how can i copy files from FAT to EXT3 without having the file dates get changed?
[12:28] <European-African> ikonia: $device_file?
[12:28] <European-African> ikonia: is that waht I type
[12:28] <ikonia> European-African: no the /dev file
[12:29] <European-African> ikonia: how do I find out what the dev file is for my usb-stick?
[12:29] <allam> ikonia:when i try to mount my partitions it show me this message mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc7,
[12:29] <allam>        missing codepage or other error
[12:29] <allam>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[12:29] <allam>        dmesg | tail  or so
[12:29] <FloodBot1> allam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:29] <ikonia> ziod: mount both file systems and just copy it across
[12:29] <ikonia> European-African: look in /var/log/messages
[12:29] <European-African> ikonia: ok thanx
[12:30] <ikonia> allam: then it's not fat
[12:30] <ziod> ikonia: doesnt seem to work-- the files all take on CURRENT date/time on EXT3 when I copy them over.  they lose their original date stamps
[12:30] <kommaa> How do you install warcraft 3 (from a cd) on ubuntu?
[12:30] <ikonia> ziod: yes, they will, sorry I missunderstood
[12:30] <ikonia> ziod: you'd have to copy them, then touch them later with a different time stap
[12:31] <ikonia> ziod: copying files makes a "new" file, hence the new time stamp
[12:31] <ikonia> ziod: you can do -ptimestamps
[12:31] <ikonia> ziod: sorry, cp -p=timestamps
[12:32] <allam> ikonia: i installed windows and ubuntu on my machine and this file are shown in windows but in linux they are not shown
[12:32] <European-African> ikonia: one of the entries in /var/log/messages is sdb: sdb1, so what do I mount sdb or sdb1?
[12:32] <usser> European-African, sdb1 usually sdb is just a name of a disk sdb1 is actual partition
[12:33] <European-African> usser: ok thanx
[12:33] <ziod> ikonia: thanks!  i'll try the -p=timestamps.  i was using grsync to try and sync files from usb stick to ubuntu, but i do need to preserve the file dates for the syncing to work properly (i need to know when they were last modified).
[12:33] <allam> ikonia: the file are fat32
[12:33] <jonah> hey guys, just partitioned my external usb drive to ext3 (dunno if that's best or ext2) anyway now it won't let me put anything on it, says permission denied...
[12:33] <Etienne__> I'm hoping to get help with an install of 8.04
[12:34] <Chrysalis> why does every file i touch creates a filename~ is that a back up file when i close without saving or whats the deal?
[12:34] <berent> DJones: wonderful thanks
[12:35] <Etienne__> I get as far as step 4 when it reaches "prepare partitions" - I see nothing in the window, and all the buttons are greyed out :-(
[12:35] <usser> Chrysalis, by touch u mean "touch" command?
[12:35] <usser> Chrysalis, it is a backup file that some editors such as gedit prodice
[12:36] <Chrysalis> usser: open/view/whatever, does get crated because i close without saving?
[12:36] <rhydar> hello
[12:36] <UnknownFear> hello rhydar
[12:36] <Chrysalis> usser: and can i just delete them?
[12:37] <usser> Chrysalis, it shouldnt be created if u didnt modify the original but yes it is safe to delete those files
[12:37] <ikonia> ziod: if you man cp you'll see all the attibutes you can use with -p
[12:37] <ikonia> allam: can't be, if your using mount -t vfat and it's not mounting - it's not fat file systems

[12:48] <shaneireland> it did used to work though
[12:48] <shaneireland> for example with my canon camera it will only be recognised after i run sudo lsusb then it works!!
[12:49] <ikonia> shaneireland: ok, so what does "dmesg" say, and /var/log/messsages when you plug it in
[12:49] <ikonia> shaneireland: this is kubuntu, not ubuntu, correct ?
[12:49] <shaneireland> i can mount all of them from the command line they wont automount
[12:49] <shaneireland> yes its kubuntu
[12:49] <ikonia> shaneireland: ok, what is the volume label of the disk when you mount it
[12:50] <shaneireland> it seems to vary
[12:50] <shaneireland> usually its /dev/sdb1
[12:50] <ikonia> shaneireland: the volume lable can't vary
[12:50] <ikonia> shaneireland: thats not the volume label
[12:50] <shaneireland> ok how do i get the volume label
[12:50] <ikonia> shaneireland: what file system is on it

Sometimes it is if, when I type or I alt tab or different keystrokes one of the keys 'stuck' it is just repeated over and over. any ideas what creates this problem? I'm quite sure it's totally not a hardware related problem
[12:50] <shaneireland> i think its vfat
[12:50] <ikonia> shaneireland: you think ?
[12:50] <shaneireland> on all of the devices i have 2 are cameras
[12:50] <ikonia> shaneireland: if you can mount it manually you must know
[12:51] <shaneireland> for the manual mount i just do sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[12:51] <shaneireland> i dont give any other parameters
[12:51] <ikonia> shaneireland: ok, do that, then do "mount" and see what file system is on it

[13:01] <allam> how i can know the file system type in my partion to mount it
[13:01] <shaneireland> wow are u all powerful..
[13:01] <ikonia> shaneireland: if you adjust them, we can work it through
[13:01] <In-Sane> pf: yep but although i don't know any other players.. :-(
[13:01] <shaneireland> god forbid someone not accept ur patronising attitude
[13:01] <rhydar> shaneireland | have you edited your /etc/fstab file?
[13:01] <gexen42> deleted!
[13:01] <allam> help please how i can know the file system type in my partion to mount it
[13:02] <Don64> bye bye kitty kitty
[13:02] <ikonia> allam: is it mounted already  ?
[13:02] <wols_> allam: file /dev/sdaX
[13:02] <microwaver> Pici, thanks for the effort. But has there been developed a fix on this bug?
[13:02] <mgolisch> allam: type dmesg and see if theres more detailed error message
[13:02] <allam>  ikonia: bu i cant see the files inside it
[13:02] <gexen42> Anyway, would someone be kind enough to share where I can start trying to troubleshoot a laptop running hardy that won't suspend or hibernate?
[13:02] <wols_> allam: I just told you
[13:02] <pf> In-Sane: if you go to Applications > Add / Remove and click on "sound & video" in the left-hand side list you get a list of available software which you can sort on popularity
[13:03] <Fritzel> I realize alot of you will think this question crazy but is there a pulse <=> alsa wrapper?
[13:03] <ikonia> allam: sorry, does that mean it is currently mounted yes/no
[13:03] <babolat> Liferea crashes on startup. terminal output here -->http://paste.ubuntu.com/12445/
[13:03] <george_> Hey guys, I have a portable HDD that didnt get "safely removed" from a windows machine and now it's unable to be mounted on ubuntu 8.04, could I please get some help on the matter? thanks
[13:03] <pinnerup> A question: I'm on HH. When I use irssi regularly, I can easily use ALT+arrow keys to change windows (right-left), but when I ssh to a shell and try the same, ALT+arrow keys just gives me "3D" and "3C". Any idea how to fix that? (Note: When I use PuTTY to ssh from Windows to the same shell, it works fine.)
[13:04] <ikonia> george_: sure, the only thing you can do is boot into windows and chkdisk it
[13:04] <In-Sane> pf: yep, i see the package names now, thanks again
[13:04] <Pici> microwaver: Ah, found the bug page: https://launchpad.net/bugs/124406 , I'm not sure if theres a fix yet, sorry.
[13:04] <ikonia> pinnerup: there your terminal emmulation
[13:04] <ikonia> pinnerup: alt+arrow is not a standard key sequence
[13:04] <gexen42> george_: You could download UBCD4win and then run a chkdisk from there if you don't have a bootable system to go into
[13:05] <microwaver> Pici, you don't need to apologise for that :-). it's not THAT often. It's just quite harrassing when alt tabbing between windows
[13:05] <gexen42> george_: Bootable system running windows that is...
[13:05] <pinnerup> ikonia: Ehm ... ok. But how do I fix it?
[13:05] <ikonia> george_: your can follow gexen42's advice aslso, but I'd advise againt it
[13:05] <ikonia> pinnerup: echo $TERM look at your term time
[13:05] <ikonia> term type sorry
[13:05] <allam> wols_: /dev/sda5: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/sda5' (No such file or directory)
[13:05] <ikonia> allam: ls -la /dev/sda4
[13:05] <ikonia> allam: ls -la /dev/sda5
[13:05] <ikonia> sorry
[13:05] <gexen42> ikonia: Have a bad experience with UBCD4win?
[13:06] <pinnerup> ikonia: "echo $term" doesn't return anything.
[13:06] <george_> hmm, thanks guys I'll have a go at it tomorrow, I'm uber tired now >.< Cheers for the help! ^^
[13:06] <In-Sane> ikonia: will apt-cache search help me looking for other plugins too? like flash? or for some packages?
[13:06] <Trae> hey guys is there a nice GUI tool for setting up hard drives to mount @ boot time?  You'd think you could right click it and select "automount at boot" in properties.
[13:06] <ikonia> pinnerup: echo $TERM
[13:06] <ikonia> gexen42: not personaly
[13:06] <ikonia> In-Sane: flash plugin is called "flashplugin-nonfree"
[13:06] <ikonia> In-Sane: you can search for anything with it
[13:06] <pinnerup> ikonia: It returns "xterm".
[13:06] <In-Sane> ikonia: ok ok, now its clear :)
[13:06] <gexen42> ikonia: Why wouldn't you recommend it?
[13:06] <ikonia> pinnerup: Hmmm what is the terminal your using
[13:07] <pinnerup> gnome-terminal.
[13:07] <ikonia> gexen42: many problems
[13:07] <microwaver> ikonia, do you do anything else but give people support :)?
[13:07] <ikonia> microwaver: many things
[13:07] <Etienne__> I have a problem installing 8.04, step 4, prepare partitions list is empty, buttons are all greyed out
[13:07] <ikonia> Etienne__: are you using raid disks by any chance ?
[13:07] <gexen42> ikonia: like what?  I've used UBCD4win to recover many a windows system
[13:07] <ikonia> pinnerup: thats odd,
[13:07] <ikonia> gexen42: corruption
[13:08] <allam> ikinia:brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 1 2008-05-16 17:11 /dev/hdc1
[13:08] <ikonia> pinnerup: when you do echo $TERM is that on your local machine or the machine your ssh'd into
[13:08] <Etienne__> ikonia: HDD is a Western Digital 250GB, I don't think it's raid
[13:08] <pinnerup> ikonia: Tried on both - they both give "xterm".
[13:08] <ikonia> Etienne__: Hmm doesn't sound like it
[13:08] <allam> ikonia:brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 1 2008-05-16 17:11 /dev/hdc1
[13:08] <In-Sane> how do i change the computer name in ubuntu? ( sorry am asking too many questions) ;-)
[13:08] <ikonia> pinnerup: that should be "ok"
[13:08] <Dark_Shadow> ERASEPRIVATELOG
[13:08] <ikonia> pinnerup: what ssh client are you using
[13:08] <ikonia> Dark_Shadow: what ?
[13:09] <ikonia> allam: thats not what you said, you said /dev/sda5
[13:09] <Dark_Shadow> nothing
[13:09] <pinnerup> ikonia: The standard in HH. It's just called "ssh", I guess.
[13:09] <ikonia> allam: so why are you showing me /dev/hdc
[13:09] <ikonia> Dark_Shadow: then why say it ?
[13:09] <ikonia> pinnerup: yup, all should be fine
[13:09] <ikonia> pinnerup: what is the remote box your sshing to, ubuntu ?
[13:09] <Etienne__> I used my WinXP install disk to delete the partitions and create a new one (NTFS)
[13:09] <Etienne__> but still the same
[13:10] <pinnerup> ikonia: Debian.
[13:10] <ikonia> pinnerup: let me see if I have a debian sysstem I can access to check the term types
[13:10] <gexen42> In-Sane: It's in /etc/hostname
[13:10] <ikonia> In-Sane: make sure your hostname matches up in /etc/hosts too
[13:10] <babolat> Liferea manages to draw a window but instantly closes. What's up with that? I get segmentation fault error. How do I fix this?
[13:10] <ikonia> In-Sane: thats very important
[13:11] <In-Sane> gexen42: whats the command to change it?
[13:11] <gexen42> In-Sane: Make sure you goto /etc/hosts and add an entry for the new name just like the old one
[13:11] <ikonia> In-Sane: use a text editor
[13:11] <ikonia> In-Sane: it's a text file
[13:11] <allam> i say that when i open /media/hdc6 i cant see any thing that is the problem
[13:12] <frost> I dont have sound on Ubuntu 8.04 - My sound card is SiS S17012
[13:12] <frost> Can anyone help
[13:12] <allam> ikonia: i say that when i open /media/hdc6 i cant see any thing that is the problem or hdc1 or hdc7
[13:12] <In-Sane> ikonia: do you mean that i should write the same name in both locations /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts?
[13:12] <ikonia> allam: neither
[13:13] <ikonia> allam: what is mouonted on /media/hdc6 ?
[13:13] <ikonia> In-Sane: no, change the hostname in /etc/hostname, then make sure the entry also matches the hostname in /etc/hsots
[13:13] <frost> any idea ?
[13:13] <ikonia> hosts
[13:13] <allam> ikonia:i dont understant u ?

[13:52] <v0lksman> Trae:  lates...
[13:52] <qmx> and why VLC isn't in synaptic anymore?
[13:52] <whistlerspa> QMX I still like VLC
[13:52] <Pici> qmx: It is.
[13:52] <ushimitsudoki> boguh: virtualbox is an option as well. I use that with great success
[13:52] <rhydar> Vahid | have you tried Octave?
[13:52] <getxsick> yo
[13:52] <whistlerspa> what's octave
[13:53] <European-African> ok, how do I change the permissions for a folder that only root can access?
[13:53] <inx-live> qmx: it's in mine (multiverse)
[13:53] <boguh> ushimitsudoki possible to have a win host as well?
[13:53] <rhydar> vahid | or wine with Matlab
[13:53] <gorbierd> i tried to install build-essential but it falls with this errors http://pastebin.com/d554562bf. What can i do?
[13:54] <European-African> ok, dont worry
[13:54] <ushimitsudoki> boguh: I don't know about that personally, I run Ubuntu as the Host OS. However, I *think* Windows can be the host OS.
[13:54] <rym> I'm trying to author a dvd (with tovid) and when I try to burn it it tells me i only have 1.7GB free in my /home/rym directory
[13:54] <rym> but
[13:54] <frostburn> European-African, chown root:root /path/to/folder
[13:54] <rym> i only have 1.7gb free in my "/" dir
[13:54] <getxsick> i have rebuild a package and now apt-get/aptitude want to upgrade my package to the package from repo, how can i set to not allow him to do that?
[13:54] <rym> my /home dir has enough free
[13:55] <inx-live> getxsick: you can lock the version.  Synaptic provides a nice menu option for it.
[13:55] <frostburn> rym, i'm not sure on what that software does, but it might be trying to use /tmp
[13:55] <getxsick> inx-live: i don't use synaptic, is there any possibilites to do that from command line?
[13:55] <charlie_> when i have desktop effects enabled, hardy will freeze completely every 15mins or so on average, at seemingly random times
[13:55] <rym> frostburn: yes it does
[13:55] <inx-live> !pinning
[13:56] <rym> and /tmp doesnt have enough free
[13:56] <s0urce> Any1 here knows how to get fluxbox selectedable as wm in fusion-icon?
[13:56] <inx-live> getxsick: have a look at that pinning page ^^^^
[13:57] <IntangibleLiquid> hinogi, how do I change my login picture and main menu's transparency?
[13:57] <getxsick> inx-live: thx
[13:57] <Bozo[ec04]> Can anyone say why ubuntu xorg.conf is so clean, without any information about video drivers, input and other stuff. It looks pretty incomplete. Has another X configuration file other than xorg.conf for hardy?
[13:58] <IntangibleLiquid> how do I change my login picture and main menu's transparency?
 inx-live: thx
[13:58] <frostburn> rym, check with the developers of that package to see if you can change the tmp location, or boot with a livecd and change the size of your / partition
[13:58] <rym> hmm
[13:58] <prodigel> Hi all. I need to configure my video card and monitor since the recognized drivers aren't the best. I used to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but now no options for video are settable.
[13:58] <rym> other than /tmp there arent any temporary fiels in the system dir? :p
[13:58] <IntangibleLiquid> how do I change my login picture and main menu's transparency?
[13:58] <rym> *files
[13:58] <Ollie> is there a package called just "SVN" ? how do I get it?
[13:58] <inx-live> IntangibleLiquid: pasted a bit too much eh? :)
[13:58] <prodigel> all this happened since my upgrade to hardy
[13:59] <IntangibleLiquid> inx-live, sorry for my clumsiness
[13:59] <v0lksman> is there any fix or work around to help stop FF3 crash when using flash?
[13:59] <chimp_> Can anyone tell me where the config file that would allow me to enable xdmcp from the command line?
[13:59] <mgolisch> Ollie: if you want the svn command install the subversion apckage
[13:59] <mgolisch> package
[13:59] <frostburn> rym, not unless it's behaving badly, /var/tmp too
[13:59] <inx-live> IntangibleLiquid: np whatsoever :) unfortunately i can't help though
[13:59] <rym> ok
[13:59] <rym> never thought i'd be needing more than 10gb for the system
[14:00] <charlie_> everytime i restart my computers my monitors go back to clone mode, when i want them on 'big desktop' mode, how can i stop it from resetting?
[14:00] <mark17|> hello

[14:00] <mark17|> is there somewhere a manual i didnt find on how to get raid on ubuntu 8.04 using the server install disc (during install)?
[14:00] <fugitivo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228363
[14:00] <rym> does ubuntu clear /tmp automatically at reboot
[14:00] <rym> or should software do that itself
[14:01] <sandeep> can anyone help me out on how to start using MySQL on ubuntu?
[14:01] <v0lksman> IntangibleLiquid: System -> Administration -> Login Window and Ubuntu Tweak... ;)

[14:02] <Pici> !root | tj33rd
[14:02] <mark17|> i am talking about software raid1
[14:02] <ushimitsudoki> sandeep: when i first set up LAMP on ubuntu, this blog post helped me: http://joeabiraad.com/linuxunix/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-710-linuxapachemysqlphp/100

[14:03] <bobbob1016> Anyone know why SheepShaver (the Mac OS9 emulation program) complains "Cannot map Low Memory Globals: Permission denied."?
[14:04] <ghis> Could anyone see anything wrong with this crontab? "0 4 * * * ntpdate 0.se.pool.ntp.org >/dev/null 2&>1" I added it like 3 mouths ago... now i run i manually and the time was wrong over 100 seconds. So the crontab apparently does not work.
[14:04] <Pici> bobbob1016: Perhaps thats a better question for ##mac than #ubuntu
[14:04] <frostburn> rym, you can also export your TEMP, TEMPDIR and TMP to another location
[14:04] <v0lksman> IntangibleLiquid: last tab in Login Window changes the "face" images
[14:04] <fugitivo> ghis, maybe you need the full path to ntpdate
[14:04] <rym> hmmm
[14:04] <rym> right now im just copying the files in tmp to a different directory
[14:04] <azhexn> live cd doesnt enable 3d effects for me. will i be able to enable them if i create usb installation?
[14:04] <bobbob1016> Pici, I'm running it on Ubuntu, and it's what the emulator says, not OS9
[14:04] <rym> and ill try to author the dvd there
[14:04] <ghis> fugitivo: could be... thanks
[14:04] <rym> maybe it'll use the PWD as /tmp ?
[14:04] <whuut> I've already folowed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, but when i do "find /boot/grub/stage1" it says: "Error 15: File not found". I looked into /boot and there is no /boot/grub
[14:05] <bobbob1016> Pici, I can run it fine with gksu, but I don't like doing that
[14:05] <sipior> bobbob1016: might need to have the suid bit enabled. check the documentation for the emulator.
[14:05] <fugitivo> ghis, and use 00 04 instead of 0 4
[14:05] <mark17|> is there somewhere a manual i didnt find on how to get raid on ubuntu 8.04 using the server install disc (during install)? i want software raid1

[14:08] <mgolisch> sudo a2enmod php5

[14:16] <perfector> whuut: too bad dude
[14:16] <Cyber_Stalker> burnt iso and its 7.10
[14:16] <Ronald> Cyber_Stalker: install it, safe some headaches. 8.04 is not mature yet.
[14:16] <azhexn> nvidia ,8800gt
[14:17] <Cyber_Stalker> hmm
[14:17] <Cyber_Stalker> is 8.4 out yet?
[14:17] <fugitivo> Cyber_Stalker, install it and upgrade to 8.04
[14:17] <perfector> there is another way by chrooting into ur new installation and then installing the grub package
[14:17] <Ronald> for weeks
[14:17] <perfector> whuut: there is another way by chrooting into ur new installation and then installing the grub package
[14:17] <cq> fugitivo still no luck, weird, same install worked yesterday...
[14:17] <Cyber_Stalker> fugitivo can you please google freedom toaster and then tell me why the freedom toaster project was created
[14:17] <perfector> whuut: then run grub-install and write to the mbr
[14:17] <Cyber_Stalker> then realise why im not updating?
[14:17] <cq> firefox3.0b5
[14:17] <Cyber_Stalker> possibly?
[14:18] <azhexn> is there a usb memory installer for ubuntu similar to Fedora9's?
[14:18] <whuut> perfector: can you tell me how to do this? please..
[14:18] <t0th_-> i try install ubuntu 7.04 in my sony vaio
[14:18] <t0th_-> but i got the error
[14:18] <perfector> whuut: if u r not used to doing smth like this i wud advise u to reinstall
[14:18] <Pici> Cyber_Stalker: Please contact them regarding this, as it seems to have nothing to do with this channel
[14:18] <t0th_-> Failed to allocate mem resource
[14:18] <t0th_-> can help?
[14:18] <fugitivo> Cyber_Stalker, if it's not ubuntu related i don't care
[14:18] <cq> fugitivo: should something be in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf?
[14:18] <Pici> !usb | azhexn
[14:18] <perfector> whuut: seriously take my advice
[14:18] <whuut> perfector: i would like to try it, if you don't mind
[14:18] <Cyber_Stalker> fugitivo but if you tell me to upgrade with out knowing the whole purpose of the freedom toaster
[14:19] <Cyber_Stalker> created by ubuntu and the shuttleworth foundation
[14:19] <Cyber_Stalker> then ure an idiot
[14:19] <fugitivo> Cyber_Stalker, i don't care the freedom toaster, if you have 7.10 and want 8.04, install it and upgrade
[14:19] <whuut> perfector: it doesn't matter if it screws up my install i'm, it's already screwed anyways
[14:19] <perfector> whuut: it may take time, and im running out of it, sorry dude....
[14:19] <azhexn> but the live usb installatin is still a live ubuntu right? changes made to the ubuntu it self arent saved?
[14:19] <fugitivo> cp, is your apache2.conf empty?
[14:19] <perfector> whuut: try google for chrooting.
[14:19] <Cyber_Stalker> the freedom toaster project was created by ubuntu and the shuttle worth foundation for people in south africa due to us not being able to download large files due to restrictive data capping
[14:19] <Tonni> how can i remove a sound card from the list of sound devices?
[14:19] <Pici> Cyber_Stalker: Please contact them regarding this: http://www.freedomtoaster.org/contact   Theres nothing we can do here.  And please remember our channel guidelines.
[14:19] <Cyber_Stalker> therefore i cant upgrade
[14:19] <cq> fugitivo no not empty, but no mention of php5
[14:20] <Tonni> i don't need it and i assume it only causes problems
[14:20] <Pici> !guidelines | Cyber_Stalker
[14:20] <fugitivo> cq, it's ok
[14:20] <Cyber_Stalker> Pici im still with in the guidelines
[14:20] <t0th_-> i try install ubuntu 7.04 in my sony vaio, but i got the error: Failed to allocate mem resource
[14:20] <t0th_-> can felp?
[14:20] <Cyber_Stalker> and i was complaining about it. not screaming at you ppl to fix :D
[14:20] <hypn0> Cyber_Stalker: can you not order a cd  :-/
[14:20] <Pici> Cyber_Stalker: This channel is not for complaining, its for Ubuntu support.
[14:21] <Pici> Cyber_Stalker: Try #ubuntu-offtopic if you just want to chat
[14:21] <Cyber_Stalker> im not just chatting
[14:21] <Cyber_Stalker> my conversation was relevant at the time, your now making it irrelavant
[14:21] <t0th_-> i try install ubuntu 7.04 in my sony vaio, but i got the error: Failed to allocate mem resource can help ?
[14:21] <Ronald> Cyber_Stalker: so install 7.10 that you have. Like I said, 8.04 is not mature at all. Bloody beta firefox, with crapy addon support due to it being beta, plugins not being registered in Firefox 2 due to bugs that have been open since before release.
[14:22] <whuut> Ok im going to reinstall
[14:22] <fugitivo> Cyber_Stalker, ok, that makes sense then
[14:22] <Cyber_Stalker> lol Ronald is it that bad?
[14:22] <Ronald> in my very humble opinion yes.
[14:22] <whuut> perfecto: thanks for tryeing to help..
[14:22] <Cyber_Stalker> fugitivo how you feel about 8.4?
[14:22] <Ronald> the only thing better in 8.04 is compiz (it works!)
[14:22] <Cyber_Stalker> if you dont mind me asking
[14:22] <Cyber_Stalker> some one got compiz working!?
[14:22] <fugitivo> Cyber_Stalker, good, but my tv tuner (hauppauge pvr 150) has no sound and my home is without TV
[14:22] <Ronald> well its trivial to enable it in 8.04
[14:23] <charlie> can someone please help me, i have an ATI, when i enable dual monitors or 'big desktop' everytime i restart it goes back to clone mode, what do i need to do to fix this?
[14:23] <cq> fugitivo I jsut rebooted, no change, apache refuses to parse the php5
[14:23] <fugitivo> Cyber_Stalker, that's my only complain at the moment
[14:23] <Cyber_Stalker> fugitivo i would go backwards :D no man can survive without tv
[14:23] <t0th_-> i try install ubuntu 7.04 in my sony vaio, but i got the error: Failed to allocate mem resource can help ?

[14:23] <Cyber_Stalker> then you my friend shall survive the apocolypse of man :D
[14:23] <cq> fugitivo apache2ctl -M lists php5_module as well
[14:23] <cq> i jsut don't get it
[14:24] <vahid> how i can show tv from my DVB Card
[14:24] <Pici> cq: Make sure that you restarted apache2 after you did a2enmod
[14:24] <Ronald> Cyber_Stalker: i don't consider compiz to be a primary requirent to the desktop ;)
[14:24] <stbain> cq: that's sudo /etc/init.d/apache force-reload
[14:24] <cq> it said it was already installes
[14:24] <kelvin911> anyone has screen tearing issue while playing movies?
[14:24] <Ronald> so use your freshly burned 7.10 cd
[14:24] <Cyber_Stalker> agreed Ronald
[14:24] <eViking> i'm trying to learn about servers... Have installed 8.04 (server) + LAMP + xubuntu-desktop + webmin. Could anyone hint on how to be able to FTP into var/www ?
[14:25] <Cyber_Stalker> Ronald should i upgrade? currently running 7.4, or should i just fresh install
[14:25] <Ronald> upgrade should be fine.
[14:25] <t0th_-> i try install ubuntu 7.04 in my sony vaio, but i got the error: Failed to allocate mem resource can help ?
[14:25] <cq> still no change.
[14:25] <cq> just restarted apache2 with force-reload
[14:25] <European-African> Every time I go to shutdown from it's button instead of gently fading into the screen it jumps becoming darker each time. Is there a way of fixing this? I have just installed compriz.
[14:25] <Cyber_Stalker> t0th_- we have seen your question and no one knows the answer
[14:25] <mgolisch> t0th_-: does it stop after that?
[14:25] <stbain> t0th_-: is 8.04 now working for you?
[14:25] <kelvin911> t0th_-: i seen your message like thousand times
[14:25] <stbain> s/now/not
[14:25] <Cyber_Stalker> haha
[14:25] <mgolisch> i get those messages too when booting but it doesnt seem to be an error
[14:25] <t0th_-> :(
[14:26] <mgolisch> more something like a warning
[14:26] <t0th_-> can help?
[14:26] <Ronald> t0th_-: throw it at google, sounds like the kind of error fairly easy on google
[14:26] <kelvin911> t0th_-: did u install ubuntu 7.10or 8.04?
[14:26] <t0th_-> 7.04
[14:26] <bazhang> t0th_-, you checked the md5 sum of the iso and done an integrity check of the disk yet
[14:26] <t0th_-> i try 7.10 today in my house
[14:26] <charlie> can someone please help me, i have an ATI, when i enable dual monitors or 'big desktop' everytime i restart it goes back to clone mode, what do i need to do to fix this?

[14:27] <t0th_-> i got the problem
[14:27] <bazhang> t0th_-, need to md5sum the iso
[14:27] <Xcell> t0th_-:  use 7.10
[14:27] <Ronald> charlie: edit xorg.conf manually. the gui tools never worked for me so far (including 8.04)
[14:27] <t0th_-> i try 7.10 today

[14:33] <_eMaX_> hello all
[14:34] <eViking> i'm trying to learn about servers... Have installed 8.04 (server) + LAMP + xubuntu-desktop + webmin. Could anyone hint on how to be able to FTP into var/www ? When typing <IP_ADDRESS> in Firefox the index.html opens, but I do not understand how upload files to the directory...
[14:34] <bazhang> shaneireland, and as far as the usb key, is it just a key or a mp3 player--how formatted
[14:34] <_eMaX_> someone knows how to modify gnome settings - I read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185616 but I dont know where these settings are made
[14:34] <shaneireland> just a key
[14:34] <shaneireland> ive tried 2 different ones
[14:34] <shaneireland> all of em are VFAT filesystems
[14:34] <European-African> kelvin911: hey
[14:34] <bazhang> eViking, have you read the ubuntu perfect server series? also loads of info on the forums
[14:34] <cq> fugitivo: it's a firefox problem, with konqueror it works.
[14:34] <kelvin911> European-African: how are you
[14:35] <shaneireland> all will mount from CLI but not automount
[14:35] <European-African> kelvin911: I am cool
[14:35] <bazhang> shaneireland, that is very odd, what make of usb drive, and what app are you using to access the photos (eg digikam, et al)
[14:36] <kelvin911> European-African: did you figure out the question i asked you last time?
[14:36] <shaneireland> yes digikam
[14:36] <shaneireland> but before all of em used to show up on the desktop
[14:36] <shaneireland> as soon as i plugged em in
[14:36] <European-African> kelvin911: :) haven't even tryed
[14:36] <eViking> bazhang: thx for answering! have not seen the u perfect server series ?? Probably too early/lazy of me to aske here. Just eager to get a web server for testing scripts etc.
[14:36] <bazhang> shaneireland, when did this start not working
[14:36] <shaneireland> now to mount em i have to sudo lsusb twice..
[14:37] <European-African> kelvin911: been playing games
[14:37] <shaneireland> then fdisk - l then mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[14:37] <kelvin911> European-African: that question isnt really that hard
[14:37] <shaneireland> i upgrade the distribution to hardy heron
[14:37] <bazhang> kelvin911, European-African please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[14:37] <shaneireland> then it stopped ive since reinstalled clean and still have the problem
[14:37] <_eMaX_> where can I edit the configuration that nautilus uses evince-thumbnailer?
[14:37] <European-African> kelvin911: #gamgam
[14:37] <bazhang> shaneireland, so this worked in gutsy without problem then?
[14:38] <shaneireland> no its worked in feisty
[14:38] <kelvin911> European-African: what kinda channel is that?  we can ignore ahole here
[14:38] <shaneireland> when i upgraded it stoped ive since gone back to feisty and now it doesnt work there
[14:38] <bazhang> shaneireland, what about gutsy hardy livecd
[14:38] <shaneireland> one clue i think is that i dont have hal in etc/init.d
[14:38] <shaneireland> didnt work off the guyst live cd
[14:38] <bazhang> kelvin911, watch your language please
[14:38] <alec> anyone have any suggestions? i cant get audio out of downloaded avi files
[14:38] <eViking> bazhang: I've found the "series". back to the drawing board! thanks for helping!

[14:40] <bruce_> Is it a known issue that chosing the GB server for Ubuntu updates doesn't return the openssl/ssh fix ?
[14:41] <shaneireland> seems to be a known issue
[14:41] <nataq> this is getting strange
[14:41] <bazhang> shaneireland, let me take a look
[14:42] <acol> what key do i press to hide graphical progress bar when booting?
[14:43] <bazhang> acol, go into grub and edit kernel you are booting and remove quiet and splash
[14:43] <DracoZA> how do I see a hidden directory via the the terminal ?
[14:43] <Wanderer> http://www.taintedink.com/Reiko%20Gallery/reiko190small.jpg
[14:43] <acol> bazhang, yeah i was sort of hoping there would be a way to do this post grub actually
[14:44] <bazhang> acol, you want to get into cli and login that way? you can do that too-->you need to ask that though :)
[14:45] <acol> bazhang, no, i just want to hide the progress bar, at random,
[14:45] <bazhang> acol uh then no you cant do that
[14:45] <acol> bazhang, just so i can check what is for example the reason it is taking longer than expected
[14:45] <bazhang> acol see my first reply
[14:45] <bruce_> (oh n/m, someone just synced it)
[14:46] <bazhang> shaneireland, have you a dual boot
[14:46] <Pici> acol: you can try going into the other vttys ctrl-alt-f1 , f2, etc.
[14:46] <acol> bazhang, i know about grub .. i don't want an on off, i want it interactive ..
[14:46] <acol> Pici, bah tty's won't be setup the first halve i guess... will try .
[14:46] <bazhang> acol, then get fedora :)

[14:47] <DonaldShimoda> hi
[14:48] <DonaldShimoda> im using putty+ public key to connect to a linux box with openssh, and after the update putty start to ask for a password, why?
[14:48] <hipodilski> is there a screensaver with nature pictures for ubuntu
[14:48] <Cyber_Stalker> lol and doff
[14:48] <bazhang> acol you are just removing the graphical interface, easily returned the next boot up
[14:48] <Cyber_Stalker> DonaldShimoda
[14:48] <Cyber_Stalker> because all keys have to be regenrerated
[14:48] <Cyber_Stalker> due to the SHH bug
[14:48] <Xcell> hipodilski:  gnome-look.org
[14:49] <Cyber_Stalker> because of the random number generator bug in ubuntu and debian systems
[14:49] <Pici> !libsslbug | DonaldShimoda
[14:49] <hipodilski> Xcell: what about it
[14:49] <DonaldShimoda> Cyber_Stalker, but after that putty will recongnize the keys?
[14:49] <acol> bazhang, yeah i know grub, i just assumed there would be a more natural way. that is less keys
[14:49] <encKe> yes it will DonaldShimoda\
[14:49] <Xcell> check there
[14:49] <Pici> DonaldShimoda: Please read the second link, it outlines what needs to be done for users and admins.
[14:49] <Cyber_Stalker> no because the keys will be new now
[14:50] <bazhang> acol you are not editing the kernel but the boot parameters--there could be nothing easier
[14:50] <DonaldShimoda> Cyber_Stalker, i know that :P
[14:50] <DonaldShimoda> Cyber_Stalker, i mind if is need to UPDATE putty also
[14:51] <Cyber_Stalker> no u wont need to update putty
[14:51] <DonaldShimoda> Cyber_Stalker, i will have to use the new pub key, off course
[14:51] <DonaldShimoda> Cyber_Stalker, ok, thanks a lot
[14:51] <joshual> hi folks, running ubuntu (recently upgraded to 8.04) that was preinstalled on my dell laptop i just bought... I'm a kde user though... should I install kubuntu-desktop deb, or should I install kubuntu from scratch?
[14:51] <bazhang> joshual, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[14:51] <Pici> joshual: Just install kubuntu-desktop, theres no difference between that and the kubuntu CD.
[14:52] <bazhang> kubuntu-kde4-desktop for kde4 joshual
[14:52] <Pici> joshual: And it will probably be easier due to dell drivers and whatnot.
[14:52] <joshual> bazhang: kde4 isnt really kubuntuized yet is it?
[14:52] <bazhang> ask that in #kubuntu-kde4 joshual  :)
[14:53] <joshual> Pici: cool thats what i was thinking... i know though that if i install kde along with gnome i will have a number of duplicate links in my menu...
[14:53] <msshams> where can i find php.ini file in ubuntu?
[14:53] <Pici> joshual: You'll just have some gnome programs in there.
[14:53] <heymr> Whats a good lieght weight webkit based browser?
[14:54] <joshual> Pici could i then uninstall gnome somehow?
[14:54] <heymr> joshual: sudo apt-get remove gnome
[14:54] <joshual> thx heymr
[14:54] <Pici> !purekde | joshual
[14:54] <spyd3r> msshams: use locate php.ini you might have to run updatedb and then run it if you just installed php/

So, I wanted to ask if someone here knows how to use monit to wa

[15:08] <sportman1280> I am trying to add a wallpaper that is installed and used by default. I copy the file over to /usr/share/backgrounds/  however it does not show up in the background selection screen.  Any idea on how to get a wallpaper to show up in the wallpaper selection menu, using files?
[15:08] <Dassouki> my rythmbox only works if started when firefox is not running. On the other hand, if rhytmbox is running, my firefox sound does not work
[15:09] <ZimCS> Can I dual boot with Ubuntu if I already have Vista on my sys without any problems?
[15:09] <heymr> ZimCS: thats how it should be done
[15:09] <MrHeavy> ZimCS: Sure, but if you're talking about dynamically resizing partitions, my usual advice of backing up any important data first applies
[15:09] <bazhang> ZimCS, sure
[15:09] <heymr> ZimCS: with vista running, just pop in the cd. its super easy :P
[15:09] <ZimCS> MrHeavy, i have a separate hdd ill be using
[15:09] <Lynet> j2daosh: The usual steps are ./configure; make; sudo make install. If ./configure errors out, you won't get a proper Makefile and make/make install won't work.
[15:09] <ZimCS> heymr, isnt that using wubi?
[15:10] <ZimCS> i was going to do the grub bootloader
[15:10] <MrHeavy> Then you have no problems, just be aware of how to fix the Windows boot loader if you decide to scrap Ubuntu at some point
[15:10] <heymr> ZimCS: it will tell you some useful stuff
[15:10] <incorrect> heymr, how can i be correct about my own question?
[15:10] <j2daosh> http://sial.org/pbot/31058
[15:10] <j2daosh> there u go
[15:10] <vahid> how i can use plot in octave?
[15:10] <j2daosh> thats the output from my make
[15:10] <heymr> incorrect: what was your question?
[15:10] <heymr> I don't think you put a "?"
[15:11] <jtaylor13> group:i have a problem.my firefox screen is not fitting to the desktop.reason is my screen rez is 800x600 and can not reduce.when i check the nivida driver it fixes the problem.but when i reboot computer i get input is invailed.i have only black screen.i run recovery to get back to normal.
[15:11] <incorrect> can i create an encrypted partition at install?
[15:11] <incorrect> "can the installer create me a home dir that is encrypted?"
[15:11] <incorrect> there was a ?
[15:11] <j2daosh> unless it bombs out on the msn protocol which i don't want, everything went fine
[15:11] <heymr> incorrect: oh sorry, i was incorrect
[15:11] <bazhang> sportman1280, just download to a folder or desktop then choose from there-->it will be added to the possible wallpapers to choose from
[15:11] <mkultras> good morning
[15:11] <MrHeavy> incorrect: The alternate install CD can do that without any real difficulty, unless I'm mistaken
[15:12] <heymr> incorrect: yus
[15:12] <MrHeavy> It has different options for physical volumes: Software RAID, LVM, and encryption
[15:12] <MrHeavy> Stack them as you see fit
[15:12] <Steve__> whhooooo first time using linux in years and ubuntu get sme online with no hastle on a kive cd!!

[15:12] <mkultras> hey anyone know how i can see how much ram i have? i typed free but it dosent look like its all showing up
[15:12] <mkultras> i see  2075764  there but i thought i had 3gb
[15:13] <sportman1280> bazhang: we dont want to do it the gui way.  we are adding it for any user
[15:13] <mkultras> thats only two gb i think
[15:13] <_MMA_> Would any recent have killed CUPS printing?
[15:13] <sportman1280> bazhang: it is installed via a package installation
[15:13] <heymr> mkultras: free -h i think would help
[15:13] <heymr> mkultras: thats probably how much is free out of 3 gb
[15:13] <Lynet> j2daosh: Looks like you are missing some -dev packages. libcurl-dev at the very least.
[15:13] <bazhang> sportman1280, via the installer disk?
[15:13] <MrHeavy> heymr: trivia: free doesn't have a -h option ;)
[15:13] <MrBill> I have a directory at home (I'm currently at work on a Hardy box) that I want access to on a pretty regular basis. I sometimes "connect to server" from the places menu and snag a few files, but I'd rather have it automatically and always connected. is SSHFS the approach I should be taking, or is there a better way?
[15:13] <mkultras> yeah i did free -h it did have that
[15:14] <mkultras> and i did free -g and it said i had 1gb
[15:14] <heymr> MrHeavy: oops... :P
[15:14] <mkultras> i think its incorrect
[15:14] <mkultras> i was looking for some alternate
[15:14] <ruiboon> MrHeavy: free -m OR free -g
[15:14] <mkultras> cat /proc/meminfo says i have 2gb too i think i have a bad dimm
[15:14] <MrHeavy> mkultras: "top -b -n 1 | grep Mem" might be worth testing
[15:15] <MrHeavy> mkultras: Yeah, probably the case
[15:15] <sportman1280> bazhang: basically we are a university network.  but we want a custom university theme for default.  everything but the wallpaper has worked so far.  it is installed as a .deb from our repository
[15:15] <Nave_> hi
[15:15] <Nave_> i need help
[15:15] <lnar> whats ur problem
[15:15] <bazhang> sportman1280, and that is the one change in the default ubuntu install? or is there more
[15:15] <mkultras> hey thanks MrHeavy that is a nice cmd
[15:15] <Nave_> how do i install flash in firefox ?
[15:15] <Nave_> so i can view Youtube?
[15:15] <ziod> why am I getting a 'mount error: could not find target server' when I attempt a cifs mount of a directory on my win32 machine?  I can access the directory fine through network places and it shows up fine when I do a smbclient -L listing of shared directories.  I've followed the directions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide?highlight=(samba).  Help!
[15:16] <Nave_> i've downloaded the flash file
[15:16] <lnar> try typing in synaptic flash
[15:16] <Nave_> type where?
[15:16] <MrHeavy> ziod: What's the command you're entering?
[15:16] <lnar> go to system
[15:16] <sebner> Nave_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:16] <sportman1280> bazhang: its adding a wallpaper beside the ubuntu ones... and making it the default if they ahve not specified otherwise
[15:16] <lnar> then adm
[15:16] <Nave_> ok
[15:16] <Nave_> in konsole?
[15:16] <sportman1280> bazhang: it does not remove the ubuntu ones...
[15:16] <j2daosh> or when u go there and it says you need the file, it should tell u how to do it in the window if i remember correctly
[15:16] <lnar> wait
[15:16] <lnar> ill give what to type in the console
[15:16] <mkultras> Nave_: you need to downloed the .so file and put it in the plugins folder its like ~/.mozilla/plugins or something
[15:16] <bazhang> sportman1280, ah well if this is the only change; was going to suggest uck if there were more changes
[15:16] <CLEARviewF> hi, does anybody know what is the name of the Listen Project IRC channel? they have one?
[15:17] <ziod> mrheavy: i'm entering sudo mount -t cifs -o username=ubuntu,password=XXXX,workgroup=HOME,gid=smb,uid=$USER,file_mode=770,dir_mode=770,rw "//MEDIADELL/My Documents" /media/externalhd  (the only thing I've altered is to X out the actual password in this paste)
[15:17] <Nave_> wait wait wait
[15:17] <Nave_> to fast
[15:17] <Nave_> ...
[15:17] <Nave_> lol
[15:17] <sportman1280> bazhang: what is uck?
[15:17] <FloodBot1> Nave_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:17] <Nave_> i need someone to pm me
[15:17] <Nave_> i can't read all this
[15:17] <Lynet> j2daosh: It probably is libcurl4-openssl-dev or libcurl4-gnutls-dev
[15:17] <icewaterman> can i install 32-bit ubuntu into a chroot jail?
[15:17] <Nave_> sorry
[15:17] <lnar> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:17] <CLEARviewF>  hi, does anybody know what is the name of the Listen Project IRC channel? they have one?
[15:17] <MrHeavy> ziod: Does it work if you try to mount a share without a space in it, like c$?
[15:17] <icewaterman> i mean i am currently using 64bit ubuntu and want to go back to 32-bit ubuntu
[15:17] <j2daosh> im installing libcurl13-openssl-dev right now
[15:17] <bazhang> ubuntu customization kit sportman1280 ; /msg ubottu uck for a link
[15:17] <Nave_> is that all i type lnar?
[15:18] <lnar> yes
[15:18] <Nave_> where do i type it again?
[15:18] <lnar> in the console
[15:18] <Nave_> ok
[15:18] <Nave_> i'll figure it
[15:18] <Nave_> one sec
[15:18] <lnar> k
[15:18] <sportman1280> bazhang: thank you for the tip. will look into it.  we actually ahve a custom metacity and gtk2.0 theme also
[15:18] <sportman1280> bazhang: this would help with those also? correct?
[15:18] <ziod> mrheavy: nope, it doesn't work then either
[15:19] <Nave_> ok i have downloaded the flash file in the desktop
[15:19] <lnar> now I need help.... HOW CAN I RUN COMPIZ WITH TWO DIFFERENT USERS????
[15:19] <hischild> !caps
[15:19] <Lynet> j2daosh: Ah, I'm on Hardy, don't see that package there. You using 7.04 or 7.10?
[15:19] <MrHeavy> ziod: Does your password contain any special characters like $ that might be freaking out the shell?
[15:19] <lnar> sorry!
[15:19] <j2daosh> 7.04 still i believe
[15:19] <lnar> nave... just type that in the console
[15:19] <j2daosh> everytime i attempt to upgrade it breaks the system
[15:19] <lnar> you dont have to download nothing
[15:19] <bazhang> sportman1280, alot of work just for some themes; uck is normally for adding drivers and the like for folks without net or easy access to the net (codecs et al); though you could certainly do it for what you have in mind
[15:20] <CLEARviewF>  hi, does anybody know what is the name of the Listen Project IRC channel? they have one?
[15:20] <hischild> lnar: please describe it a bit. How are you running 2 users? like seperately, one at a time?
[15:20] <ziod> mrheavy: no, just regular numbers and letters.  no special characters at all
[15:20] <Nave_> ITS working!!!!!!!!!!
[15:20] <Nave_> i love linux
[15:20] <hischild> !yay
[15:20] <lnar> at the same time
[15:20] <Nave_> why is linux so good
[15:20] <hischild> lnar: where's the second user running from?
[15:20] <bazhang> !irc | CLEARviewF read the last link
[15:20] <Nave_> windows vista sux
[15:20] <lnar> local
[15:20] <hischild> !lnw |  Nave_
[15:20] <Nave_> well i'm a noob
[15:20] <Nave_> i need to learn
[15:20] <bazhang> Nave_, please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[15:21] <sportman1280> bazhang: ya, just noticed that..  any idea why the theme wouldn't show up in the gnome theme settings?  Even though it is in /usr/share/backgrounds where the default ubuntu ones are.  I cant find any config files... :(
[15:21] <Nave_> well i'm here to learn
[15:21] <lnar> there are two users, they are both using the same computer and i want to let then use compiz at the same time
[15:21] <hischild> lnar: sorry, haven't encountered such a situation before so i can't help there.
[15:21] <j2daosh> arrggg
[15:22] <bazhang> Nave_, this is a support channel, please limit your comments to specific support questions or chat in the offtopic channel thanks
[15:22] <lnar> i cant enable the effects once the first one is using them
[15:22] <j2daosh> wheres a list of all the repos?
[15:22] <vivek> hello
[15:22] <soundray_> !info libqt3-mt dapper
[15:22] <soundray_> Apologies -- I tried to msgthebot, but it wasn't responding
[15:22] <jussi01> Nave_: its easy, read lots, tehn ask here when you dont understand something
[15:22] <lnar> /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:22] <j2daosh> i need automake 1.10 to finish the install and i dont have it in my available repos
[15:22] <ssastre> someone knows how do I use MONIT to check for a process without using the pid file?
[15:22] <Lynet> j2daosh: That kinda scks. Anyway, the hardest part about building from source is usually to find all the -dev packages you need. I'd recommend using ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
[15:22] <je789> i keep trying to compile apache but get this error  checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[15:22] <hischild> !lnw | Nave_: start with reading this
[15:22] <Pici> je789: install the package build-essential
[15:22] <j2daosh> lynet, what will that switch do for me that differes from my ./configure?
[15:22] <vivek> help
[15:23] <Pici> je789: fyi, apache is in the package repositories
[15:23] <bazhang> sportman1280, the cli stuff for that? I just know the pointy-clicky ways to do it :)
[15:23] <nguyen_minh_tuan> alo
[15:23] <nguyen_minh_tuan> thu ti
[15:23] <je789> says package is already installed
[15:23] <void^> !info automake
[15:23] <lnar> so no one here is runing ubuntu with two users and both using compiz???
[15:23] <CLEARviewF> bazhang: thank you, i think ubottu is a bot :D
[15:23] <je789> i prefer to compile it myself
[15:23] <j2daosh> void^: yeah, find and dandy if you have hardy... i have fawn
[15:23] <sportman1280> bazhang: ic.  wonder where to look...
[15:23] <ssastre> different question. How is suposed daemons creates and delete its pid files?
[15:24] <Lynet> j2daosh: It makes the program install itself under /usr/local, to make sure it doesn't conflict with anything that's part of the regular .deb package system.
[15:24] <nguyen_minh_tuan> who know how to remove xvnkb?
[15:24] <lnar> is there any compiz channel??
[15:24] <j2daosh> oh... interesting. i will have to start using that switch from now on
[15:24] <vivek> has any one installed Ubuntu using Wubi on a RAID 0 system
[15:24] <nguyen_minh_tuan> help me
[15:24] <nguyen_minh_tuan> who know how to remove xvnkb?
[15:24] <bazhang> !compiz | lnar
[15:24] <je789> anyone else?
[15:24] <bazhang> nguyen_minh_tuan, how was it installed
[15:24] <lnar> thanksss
[15:25] <bazhang> nguyen_minh_tuan, that is a kb setting yes?
[15:25] <j2daosh> ok, well apparently im not going to get this installed til i get to hardy so i will try to upgrade again :(
[15:25] <Stroganoff> nguyen_minh_tuan go to the source directory of xvnkb and run: sudo make uninstall
[15:25] <j2daosh> nevermind...
[15:25] <Lynet> j2daosh: Sort of a keep-everything-not-installed-by-.deb in a separate location. Some people prefer /opt/program_name, but the normal convention on most *nixes is to put it under /usr/local.
[15:25] <j2daosh> my box thinks its already update
[15:26] <TheNerdGotchU> ok i just seen the download icon pop up and go away as if it downloaded something. could this be a bug or a virri
[15:26] <sportman1280> bazhang: where should i look for an answer?
[15:26] <sportman1280> bazhang: what channel?
[15:26] <bazhang> sportman1280, here; just ask someone smarter :)
[15:26] <j2daosh> sport, what are u looking for>
[15:27] <sportman1280> hello. I'm trying to create a package that adds wallpapers for our users.  They are put in the /usr/share/backgrounds  however the dont show up as background options when you try to change your wallpaper.  Any help?
[15:27] <bazhang> TheNerdGotchU, not a virus, what is the exact thing you downloaded
[15:27] <sportman1280> j2daosh: lol look right below where you wrote
[15:27] <j2daosh> hmm... gimme a sec
[15:27] <TheNerdGotchU> nothing
[15:27] <hischild> sportman1280: there's a config file in gconf2/backgrounds.xml. Add them to that file should add them to the background menu.
[15:27] <TheNerdGotchU> i diddnt download nothing
[15:27] <sportman1280> hischild: Thanks! will look now
[15:28] <bazhang> TheNerdGotchU, not sure with such bare bones info sorry
[15:28] <hischild> sportman1280: i'm not sure of the file though. Let me search for it again.
[15:28] <TheNerdGotchU> i just seen the icon pop up on my panel and goa away as if it downloaded something
[15:28] <TheNerdGotchU> lol oke dokey im just noid maybe
[15:28] <hischild> sportman1280: /home/hischild/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml is the file for me.
[15:28] <sportman1280> hischild: is this in the home directory? because we dont want it in home.. we want it in the default
[15:28] <bazhang> TheNerdGotchU, run sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:28] <hischild> sportman1280: it's rolled out as a default file. Find the skeleton file and add em in there.
[15:28] <j2daosh> where do i find what version i'm running?
[15:29] <je789> im getting  C compiler cannot create executables I've got build-essential installed and im wondering where i can begin to debug this ?
[15:29] <Pici> j2daosh: lsb_release -a
[15:29] <j2daosh> my system seems to think i'm running hardy but im almost positive i'm not
[15:29] <TheNerdGotchU> i ran that yesterday
[15:29] <sportman1280> hischild: been looking around for it.  any suggestions on where to look?
[15:29] <bazhang> TheNerdGotchU, do it again to be sure
[15:29] <j2daosh> 6.10
[15:29] <j2daosh> lol
[15:29] <j2daosh> wow
[15:29] <TheNerdGotchU> aight one sec
[15:29] <bazhang> j2daosh, what kernel
[15:29] <hischild> sportman1280: uhm got a few. let me check.
[15:29] <j2daosh> edgy
[15:29] <je789> FYI im on 8.04
[15:30] <Lynet> j2daosh: Oh man, you're stone-age. ;-p
[15:30] <sportman1280> ah
[15:30] <j2daosh> lol well normally i dont have to add anything
[15:30] <sportman1280> hischild: /usr/share/gnome-background-properites
[15:30] <j2daosh> everything i needed was practically installed with 6.1
[15:30] <j2daosh> ok
[15:30] <sportman1280> hischild: that look correct?
[15:30] <j2daosh> so if thats the case, why does my apt-get dist-upgrade tell me that my system is current?
[15:31] <hischild> sportman1280: yeah ... you beat me to it with a few secs
[15:31] <bazhang> j2daosh, you want to get to hardy from there?
[15:31] <Pici> !upgrade | j2daosh  make sure you are running the proper commands
[15:31] <j2daosh> shouldn't it say "Holy crap dude!!! your as old as my granddad! I gottsta update da look yo"
[15:31] <TheNerdGotchU> ok Ive ran it
[15:32] <bazhang> TheNerdGotchU, and it is up to date? then nothing to worry about
[15:32] <j2daosh> upgrade didn't work either
[15:32] <je789> Pici, ok let me ask is there a way to cleanly remove build-essential and reinstall but forcing it to redownload a fresh copy not a local package copy?
[15:32] <stevem> badger poo
[15:32] <sportman1280> hischild: thank you :)
[15:32] <hischild> sportman1280: you're welcome.
[15:32] <j2daosh> i tried both dis-update and upgrade. niether of them think there is anything to update
[15:32] <bazhang> stevem you have a support question?
[15:32] <TheNerdGotchU> whats the name of ubuntu's startup directory or where is it listed
[15:33] <hischild> TheNerdGotchU: /etc/init.d/ ?
[15:33] <kenois> Just installed hardy.. quite nice so far :)

[15:34] <Pici> je789: you can remove all archived packages using apt-get clean, I'm not sure you can do just one.  to uninstall and reinstall it try; sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential
