[12:04] <Howitzer> bb
[12:04] <jafoo0> jessie__: okay. i guess i'll try downloading the "alternate" cd then.. and see if that works.
[12:04] <blahblahx> how stable is the 6.06 version?
[12:04] <siloko> Kworth: the copying can take a long time - but just building the file list shouldn't take two hours . . . do you have -v - if so you can watch progress :)
[12:04] <blahblahx> the LTS
[12:04] <wolferine> macd, doesnt help
[12:04] <jessie__> jafoo0, wait, first hit ctrl+alt+backspace.
[12:04] <gaurish> specie, but do i need to put sudo in infron of it?
[12:04] <jessie__> then, dont push buttons.
[12:04] <blahblahx> anyone?
[12:04] <jessie__> it should automatically log you in.
[12:05] <gaurish> infront i mean
[12:05] <macd> wolferine, and you restarted nfs-kernel-server ?
[12:05] <non|inear> for work i have to mount ext3 drives in xp.  i need to mount some read-only (but mose rw) , anyone know how i can do this using fs-drivees?  not sure if i want to have 2 different ext3 drivers insrtalled in ext3....  or, has anyone been sucessfuly with ms tools for unix???
[12:05] <blahblahx> grrrrrrrr
[12:05] <specie> you'll probably want to su, then do crontab -e
[12:05] <jafoo0> jessie__ nope didn't log me in.. just gives me another prompt
[12:05] <smallfoot-> make GRUB / bootloader be fail-safe
[12:05] <deer> PPPP:ok, started kopete, but I have to install more modules - I just can't create an account
[12:05] <wolferine> macd, do you know alot about NFS, or are you being kind?
[12:05] <DagonIT> I have a question about installing Opera. Is the the opera package broke?
[12:05] <macd> I use it in a enterprise enviornment
[12:05] <pietruch> hi
[12:05] <wolferine> macd, of course I restarted the service :)
[12:05] <blahblahx> IS THE 6.06 VERSION STABLE?!
[12:05] <wolferine> !caps | blahblahx
[12:05] <ubotu> blahblahx: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:05] <PPPP> deer: i see
[12:05] <dug_> gaurish: oh yeah, you might need to do a "sudo -s" (root shell) then do crontab -e.  sudo pops up a password dialog
[12:05] <PPPP> deer: i should try it too
[12:05] <jessie__> blahblahx, they all are.
[12:05] <specie> gaurish, that way the crontab will be edited under your root account, and since it effects the entire system, I would put login as root first.
[12:06] <macd> in my exports (just at home btw) /opt/volatile   <IP_ADDRESS>(rw,no_root_squash,async,subtree_check)
[12:06] <blahblahx> right but is 6.06 more stable than the rest?
[12:06] <enyc> blahblahx: well its long term support version, for desktop use i reccomend 7.04 however
[12:06] <enyc> blahblahx: well anythig can be more stable thatn others depending on situation ;-)
[12:06] <siloko> DagonIT: download the latest version from opera website - works fine on feisty for me :)
[12:06] <blahblahx> i want to run a file server
[12:06] <Kworth> how do I get a ntfs disk to be writeable?
[12:06] <Kworth> !ntfs
[12:06] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:06] <DagonIT> thanks
[12:06] <blahblahx> so should i use 7.04 or 6.06?
[12:06] <wolferine> macd, in that case, I have twin machines, I can view this box from my server, 131 can see 105, but vice versa isnt working
[12:06] <enyc> blahblahx: ify ou are just running a server then  Ubuntu Dapper6.06LTS or  Debian-Etch  is good
[12:06] <specie> gaurish, ...  so  type: su, password....  crontab -e   then paste in 50   7  *  *   *  /sbin/shutdown -h, and you should be good 2 go
[12:06] <Kworth> !fuse
[12:06] <ubotu> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[12:07] <enyc> blahblahx: you, either of those -- 7.04 is more recent, 6.06 dis older but supported longer
[12:07] <macd> wolferine, Sep  2 22:16:01 ubuntu2 mountd[31164] : connect from <IP_ADDRESS> to proc (1) in mountd: request from unauthorized host  leads me to believe that the connecting host doesnt have a proper entry in /etc/hosts.allow
[12:07] <macd> wolferine, are you using IP's or hostnames in /etc/hosts.allow
[12:07] <wolferine> so you want me to post my /etc/hosts.allow and .deny then ?
[12:08] <non|inear> or, does anyone know how to mount drives as read-only in XP??
[12:08] <wolferine> im using services in host.allow and .deny
[12:08] <PriceChild> !windows | non|inear
[12:08] <ubotu> non|inear: For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[12:08] <MilitantPotato> holycow: he's at his desktop in a gnome session (not XGL) what's our next step?
[12:08] <macd> wolferine, yeah plz post your hosts.allow
[12:08] <wolferine> sure, give me a min
[12:08] <ompaul> !paste
[12:08] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:09] <jafoo0> jessie_: soo i did a ctrl alt + f5, ((drop out of x) and it says user not known to underlying authentication mode
[12:09] <bluefox83> sooooo...anyone know a good place to get help with xchat python plugins?
[12:09] <MilitantPotato> holycow: ya there?
[12:09] <ompaul> bluefox83, there is a #xchat
[12:09] <MilitantPotato> Waka_Waka_Waka: Did that Disk usage analyzer help?
[12:09] <holycow> milquetoast ... yes
[12:09] <holycow> i mean MilitantPotato
[12:09] <bluefox83> ompaul, yeah..and they haven't helped me even slightly...in almost 6 hours
[12:09] <MilitantPotato> holycow: he's at his desktop finally, using vesa
[12:09] <imbecile> having trouble compiling something.. can someone tell me what i need to do? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36243/
[12:10] <macd> wolferine, I just noticed something is ubuntu2 the mahcine your trying to mount the nfs dir to or from?
[12:10] <holycow> MilitantPotato: toldja.  your basically done.
[12:10] <holycow> MilitantPotato: remove nvidia-glx and reinstall it
[12:10] <holycow> then there is an nvidia configure command or something to make sure he is using the nvidia driver in xorg.conf
[12:10] <holycow> or he can just modify that by hand
[12:10] <non|inear> PriceChild  thanks, but i've been reading on this for weeks... heh.  and, this is really an issue of how to mount ext FS, not how to deal with ntfs
[12:10] <holycow> and restart gdm and he's done
[12:11] <MilitantPotato> holycow: apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx
[12:11] <holycow> correct
[12:11] <MilitantPotato> then apt-get install nvidia-glx
[12:11] <holycow> right
[12:11] <dug_> imbecile: you may need to install a python2.5-dev package or something similar to get the python headers
[12:11] <wolferine> macd: http://www.pastebin.ca/680464
[12:11] <holycow> although i think its apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx
[12:11] <MilitantPotato> ok, I'll need to google the configuration command
[12:11] <imbecile> dug_:  thank you :)
[12:11] <PriceChild> non|inear, you asked how to change thigns in windows... this isn't the place for that
[12:12] <deer> PPPP: ok, i've installed aim, gadu-gadu, groupwise, icq, irc, jabber, msn, meanwhile, sms  , winpopup and yahoo support, what do we choose ?
[12:12] <wolferine> macd, i am trying to mount from the 105 box to the 131 (ubuntu2)
[12:12] <macd> k
[12:12] <gaurish> specie, nothing happned i tried changing the time to two minutes later
[12:12] <non|inear> pricechild:  ok, i hate windows as much as you do, but really the community needs to start supporting su`ch questoins
[12:12] <non|inear> anyhow, thanks ;)
[12:13] <PriceChild> non|inear, I don't hate windows.
[12:13] <KevinOman> what does this mean?  Error: Package linux-kernel-headers has no installation candidate
[12:13] <jafoo0> jessie__ i think my cd is hozed... i googled it online..
[12:13] <siloko> non|inear: the ubuntu communtiy needs to start supporting windows questions - thats asking a bit much :)
[12:13] <PPPP> deer: let's try msn
[12:13] <macd> wolferine, of so verify these things, on 105 (profx) hosts.allow and exports allow from 131, then on 131 you dont need anything in hosts.allow/deny or exports, simply an entry in fstab like /path/to/mount server(or ip):/remote/path/to/mount then 'sudo mount -a'
[12:13] <Kworth> how can i relode my fstab settings
[12:13] <non|inear> pricechild:  OK, well I hate windows more than you then, but i need ti for work ya know :)
[12:13] <MilitantPotato> holycow: after the purge bit should he dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[12:13] <Kworth> how can i relode my fstab settings? without rebooting
[12:13] <deer> non|inear, at the end of the world linux community will debug and fix windows bugs
[12:14] <MilitantPotato> then use the restricted driver package manager or apt-get
[12:14] <holycow> no
[12:14] <jsg> hi. how do i control which internet browser opens a link?
[12:14] <wolferine> macd, can you please rephrase :/
[12:14] <holycow> there is no point to that
[12:14] <siloko> Kworth: you don't just save your new file and it will be read the next time you boot
[12:14] <Jasnation> what will happen if I delete xorg.conf
[12:14] <macd> wolferine, sure, let me make a post on pastebin what exactly you should have on both boxes
[12:14] <PieSquared> Can anyone help me? For some reason, every time the computer is restarted/turned off, the nvidia.ko file (the nvidia driver) is deleted from /lib/modules/2.6 ..../volatile/nvidia.ko, so my Xserver dies when it tries to start
[12:14] <Kworth> siloko -> How do I make it active then?
[12:14] <wolferine> macd, sure
[12:14] <holycow> removing nvidia-glx actually wasn't even necessary, i'm just making sure he didn't f-up too much stuff related to that while he was mucking about
[12:14] <PriceChild> Jasnation, x will autodetect settings and should start up (feisty onwards)
[12:14] <wolferine> macd, what do you believe the issue is ?
[12:15] <holycow> just reinstalling nvidia-glx is enough and all he has to do is make soure his xorg.conf file uses the nvidia instead of the vesa driver
[12:15] <siloko> Kworth: its read automatically whenever it is needed
[12:15] <chautemoc> how do i do this: "Now we'll complile the Ndiswrapper program. In a terminal, go to the directory where you extracted ndiswrapper and execute the following..."
 I am having trouble updating Amarok. I am in gnome. it is listed in my update manager, but it is grey and I can't select it.
[12:15] <non|inear> siloko: ubuntu or gnu/linux will need to embrace and support existing filesystems and OS to become the next ubuquitous os (esp. ms which is on like every desktop in the world)
[12:15] <PPPP> deer: what do u suggest?
[12:15] <Jasnation> ?
[12:15] <holycow> MilitantPotato: if it breaks then just changing xorg.conf back to vesa is enough and a restart of gdm
[12:15] <PieSquared> uhhh Can anyone help me?
[12:15] <Kworth> siloko, But it doesn't mount my device byitself
[12:15] <PieSquared> For some reason, every time the computer is restarted/turned off, the nvidia.ko file (the nvidia driver) is deleted from /lib/modules/2.6 ..../volatile/nvidia.ko, so my Xserver dies when it tries to start
[12:16] <MilitantPotato> ok
[12:16] <holycow> then we can worry about why the nvidia package doesn't work, but i thiknk its likely that it will be fine
[12:16] <mcopple> non|inear -- I don't know that the community needs to support ext3 on Windows anymore than Microsoft is required to support NTFS on Linux.
[12:16] <PriceChild> PieSquared, yes it is, licensing issues
[12:16] <PriceChild> PieSquared, it is created every time the module is probed (so on boot)
[12:16] <dug_> Kworth: "mount -a" will reload all the drives listed in /etc/fstab
[12:16] <PieSquared> weird
[12:16] <deer> PPPP: let's try AIM
[12:16] <siloko> Kworth: just typing mount without any arguments will read fstab
[12:16] <PieSquared> so how can I make it so it works?
[12:16] <PriceChild> PieSquared, it will work by probing nvidia
[12:16] <PenguinistaKC> That would seem to be an ext3-specific question, rather than an Ubuntu question.
[12:16] <Kworth> siloko, dug_, thanks
[12:16] <PieSquared> if I copy it there manually and then restart gdm it works
[12:17] <vamsi> how to install a new usplash theme?
[12:17] <PieSquared> so how do I make it so it works on boot up?
[12:17] <non|inear> mcopple.. yea, i mean ideally i agree with you, but MS reings now and can't ignore that
[12:17] <PriceChild> !usplash | vamsi
[12:17] <ubotu> vamsi: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[12:17] <pcaporale> ubuntu
[12:17] <vamsi> thanks
[12:17] <non|inear> i mean, even the nerds have problems with compatibility, my case is example
[12:17] <non|inear> and VM too slow/unstable still..
[12:18] <Xonnel> Hello
[12:18] <chautemoc> sorry to repeat but, how do i do this: Now we'll complile the Ndiswrapper program. In a terminal, go to the directory where you extracted ndiswrapper and execute the following...
[12:18] <PPPP> deer: how do i set up an account?
[12:18] <jsg> hi. i was wondering, how can i set which internet browser, by default, will open a link i click on?
[12:18] <PenguinistaKC> non|inear -- interoperability like that is something that will probably have tobe left up to paid consultants, it isn't something most community folks would do. I would just use SAMBA and mount the ext3 drives as CIFS shares.
[12:18] <Xonnel> Has anyone had Google Earth running?
[12:18] <PPPP> deer: i don't have aim and i don't know where in kopete let's me add an account?
[12:18] <dug_> non|inear: are you trying to read an ext3 drive in windows?  there are tools like http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs  otherwise, mounting drives read-only in general is a windows-only issue
[12:18] <non|inear> so anyhow, has anyone tried using two ext2 drivers at once?  like fs-drivers for read-write and one of the others for read-only?
[12:19] <gaurish> specie, it worked, just we need to modify a little /sbin/shutdown -h *0*
[12:19] <Xonnel> My system restarts just after GoogleEarth starts up
[12:19] <gaurish> specie, note the o
[12:19] <slashzul> hi guys. how do you force install vmware-install.pl ?
[12:19] <PieSquared> \list
[12:19] <non|inear> penguinistakc - yea, i've been using samba on VMs on my laptop, but too unstable.  i could do on a real network but i bounce around too much and not anways realiable networks
[12:19] <scipio_> jsg, system-preferences-preferred applications
[12:19] <MilitantPotato> holycow: he's installing restricted-manager
[12:20] <Thegeektechnique> hello everyone. I am having trouble updating amarok. it is listed in my update manager but it is grey and I am not able to select it.
[12:20] <deer> PPPP: at the bottom of the first tab there is a button - create an account -> aol.com
[12:20] <non|inear> dug_ no, i'm trying to mount NTFS as both ro and rw... i can obviously do them indiidually but want to do them at same time, with single driver
[12:20] <holycow> MilitantPotato: not sure what that is, must be new in feisty or something. did it get pulled in with nvidia-glx?
[12:20] <jsg> got it, thanks!!
[12:20] <slashzul> how do you export an xterm to another terminal?
[12:20] <slashzul> I sshed over and keep getting suid-root error
[12:20] <non|inear> with raw disk access, not network or VM
[12:20] <slashzul> I need a remote xterm
[12:21] <MilitantPotato> holycow: no, it's an easy way to install nvidia's drivers
[12:21] <macd> wolferine, http://www.pastebin.ca/680474  is all you need to make it work (I might have reversed the hosts on accident if so you can just reverse them back)
[12:21] <holycow> *sigh*
[12:21] <Vonce8> anybody know why I'm getting this error: I'm setting up ssl with my proftpd server and when i try to run ./sign.sh (i'm signing it myself) via "sudo ./sign.sh server.csr" it says ./sign.sh command not found
[12:21] <holycow> your friend just doesn' tlisten?
[12:21] <MilitantPotato> comes with ubuntu :)
[12:21] <PPPP> deer: is there a menu-equivalent? i'm not sure where that is...
[12:21] <MilitantPotato> Nah, it's the recommended way to handle driver installs with ubuntu
[12:21] <holycow> mother trucker, i refuse to help people that don't listen
[12:21] <MilitantPotato> feisty
[12:21] <holycow> thats idiotic
[12:21] <kitche> Vonce8, are you in the folder with sign.sh
[12:21] <holycow> it will just do the same thing i told you guys
[12:21] <wolferine> macd, do you know what the issue might be ?
[12:21] <MilitantPotato> true.
[12:22] <macd> wolferine, it looks to me like you were trying to export the src and the destination target
[12:22] <holycow> well he is on his own for the rest of it, lik ei said i refuse to help people that don't listen
[12:22] <MilitantPotato> very true, but if ubuntu comes with a more userfriendly way I tend to go that route, saves what little hair I have left :)
[12:22] <holycow> maybe someone else has the patience for that
[12:22] <wolferine> huh?
[12:22] <wolferine> lol
[12:22] <Vonce8> i'm in the home directory - i blindly followed ubuntuforums directions and downloaded it seperately via wget http://xxxx/sign.sh
[12:22] <Nekow42> I'm getting a ton of messages like "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  400 Bad request" when I do a "sudo apt-get update"
[12:22] <macd> when in fact only the box serving the directory need to riun the nfs-kernel-server, the host that mounts it rmeotly only needs an entry in fstab, no exports, no hosts.allow/deny entries
[12:22] <MilitantPotato> holycow: ....  you're slightly high strung
[12:23] <holycow> no
[12:23] <macd> wolferine, just try what I pasted it will work ;P
[12:23] <holycow> you are takin gup my time
[12:23] <Nekow42> Is there something up with the servers, or is it on my side?
[12:23] <holycow> i'm offering help for free
[12:23] <wolferine> macd, working on it :P
[12:23] <holycow> if he/she cannot follow instructions i will offer my time to someone else who actually values it
[12:23] <deer> PPPP: configuration -> accounts -> new -> tab: basic configuration
[12:23] <holycow> thats not high strung
[12:23] <holycow> thats reality
[12:24] <PriceChild> holycow, if you want to ignore, then please ignore or /ignore then move on.
[12:24] <PPPP> deer: aaah i see.  thanks a lot. let me create it now.  brb
[12:24] <MilitantPotato> holycow: That's why helpdesk people shake all day :P
[12:24] <PriceChild> MilitantPotato, lets move on please

[12:24] <PriceChild> Nekow42, please do ask questions if you need to :)
[12:24] <dug_> Nekow42: i don't know, but you might just try again later in case the server is getting clogged.  or you can set it to fetch from the us. or other servers
[12:24] <holycow> go away retard
[12:25] <m0_> I want to switch between LAPTOP monitor and CRT monitor
[12:25] <chautemoc> high strung indeed :b

[12:25] <tom314> running the command "/etc/init.d/gdm start" causes my screen to go blank, any ideas?
[12:26] <Kworth> how can I tell rsync to echo what it is doing?
[12:26] <kitche> Kworth, it should do that unless you want it to be more verbose
[12:26] <Kworth> kitche, okay if you say so
[12:26] <Chinaski1> My friend is going to install ubuntu and he's got only a wireless card.  i have to download all the files needed to get wireless networking to work. i miss a kinda wpasupplicant.deb package. ok, i did 'apt-get source --download-only wpasupplicant'. i've got two files: 'wpasupplicant_0.5.7.orig.tar.gz' and 'wpasupplicant_0.5.7-0ubuntu2.diff.gz'. Is it possible do build a .deb package from these two files?
[12:27] <kitche> Kworth, rsync -v will make it more verbose which is what you want
[12:27] <macd> Chinaski1, you can download debs directly from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[12:27] <RickH> Can someone help me with pinning?
[12:28] <wolferine> macd,
[12:28] <macd> I feel a server split.
[12:28] <wolferine> this is silly, but I might have found it
[12:28] <Kworth> kitche, thanks I hope it runs proper now
[12:29] <MerlinsLair> evening folks
[12:29] <Chinaski1> macd , http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/net/wpasupplicant
[12:29] <kitche> Kworth, it should show what you wanted before but witht he -v switch it will show all the messages
[12:29] <Vonce8> I know this sounds newbish - but when i login to my server as root why do i still get permission denied to run a certain file?
[12:29] <wolferine> macd, yeah, i think I found the cause
[12:29] <MerlinsLair> any ideas on why firefox would freeze on flash/video playback?
[12:29] <siloko> Kworth: well -vv shows ALL the meaages :)
[12:29] <MerlinsLair> like from CNN for example?
[12:29] <Kworth> kitche: thats good I want the details, if something goes wrong i can cancel
[12:29] <wolferine> macd, ill look at it a bit more, and see if it was your code that fixed it though
[12:29] <ompaul> RickH,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[12:29] <crayzee> I have just got a remote for my computer. It's receiver appears to use HID - it works straight away typing 0-9 enter, clear.
[12:29] <PPPP> deer: i think i'm connected
[12:30] <RickH> ompaul:  I have the /etc/apt/preferences setup, but it's not working.
[12:30] <Chinaski1> macd there arent any .deb files. there are the 2 files i downloaded and a .dsc file that i dunno what it is.
[12:30] <macd> wolferine, no worries if I fixed it or not, just glad its fixed.
[12:30] <Kworth> how does rsync actually work? does it have like a file where it writes all the filenames in
[12:30] <crayzee> However, the other buttons do not appear to work. Some are recognized by xev, others not. Where do I start in training my PC to recognize them? I ultimately want it to work with MythTV
[12:30] <Kworth> ?
[12:30] <Nekow42> Where can I find mirrors for the apt-get source servers?
[12:31] <Sivik> Nekow42: just do a google search
[12:31] <wolferine> macd, yeah, but I would like to know why, so I dont do it again :)
[12:31] <Kworth> !apt-get
[12:31] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[12:31] <Sivik> Nekow42: there will be a crap load of them
[12:31] <macd> Chinaski1, dsc is just a signed source file, dont worry about that, but you can simply untar the tar.gz file you downloaded in / and it will put all the files where they need to be
[12:31] <soskel> hey
[12:31] <soskel> I have a problem
[12:31] <Sivik> soskel: good for you, just ask it
[12:31] <kitche> !mirrors | Nekow42 the last link I believe
[12:31] <ubotu> Nekow42 the last link I believe: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[12:31] <RickH> I am trying to downgrade to 2.6.20-16.29 (from .31) due to an error with my soundcard following the recent upgrade.
[12:31] <soskel> when I plug in my ethernet cabel
[12:31] <soskel> I can't get a connection
[12:31] <Kworth> soskel, Is it going to be a real problem in 9 months ;) ?
[12:32] <siloko> Kworth: i think it creates a db of names and timestamps and then compares source with dest and copies the diff . . .
[12:32] <Chinaski1> ?
[12:32] <soskel> Kworth: what?
[12:32] <Sivik> soskel: after you plugged in, did you do a ifdown eth0 and then ifup eth0
[12:32] <soskel> Sivik: I don't even know what that is
[12:32] <luckyaba> how would i go about having desktops running at the same time?
[12:32] <Sivik> !internet
[12:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about internet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:32] <Sivik> !network
[12:32] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:32] <luckyaba> so i could have 2 users VNC in and work at the same time
[12:32] <Nekow42> Thank you kitche
[12:32] <soskel> Sivik: please explain
[12:33] <Sivik> just do that from command line as root
[12:33] <Chinaski1> macd, sorry i didn't find the .deb file link  wich was right there....
[12:33] <MerlinsLair> RickH: we may have similar issues
[12:33] <ompaul> RickH, perhaps looking here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html might help
[12:33] <MerlinsLair> my sound is flaky too after the upgrade
[12:33] <Gruelius> Hey all, can someone help me to get suspend to ram and other power saving functions owrking?
[12:33] <RickH> ompaul:  Looking...
[12:33] <Gruelius> basically they both just crash when i try to switch it back on
[12:34] <Sivik> Gruelius: suspend does not work well in ubuntu as i have discovered
[12:34] <RickH> The problem I have is that I don't know how to specify that I want the .29 version instead of the .31.
[12:34] <Kworth> Do I need an extra firewall on an ubuntu system?
[12:34] <RickH> I can apt-get install just fine, but not by release/version.
[12:34] <MilitantPotato> Kworth: firestarter is a decent front end to what comes with ubuntu
[12:34] <Kworth> !firewall
[12:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:35] <MerlinsLair> Kworth: only if you feel it necessary
[12:35] <siloko> Kworth: what do you mean an extra firewall? extra to what?
[12:35] <MerlinsLair> Firestarter does the job just fine
[12:35] <deer> PPPP: just a minute - i'm creating the new account
[12:35] <soskel> Sivik: Cannot find state file: (path to a file) :permission denied
[12:35] <Pelias> anyone here knows how to configure TCP Wrappers?
[12:35] <Kworth> so firestarter might be useful?
[12:35] <ompaul> RickH,  Pin: version 0.29*   -- you may have to install it manually check out that page slowly it will teach you all you need
[12:35] <MerlinsLair> it's the graphical end to ip tables
[12:35] <Kworth> !firestarter
[12:35] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:35] <MerlinsLair> which is alrteady in Ubuntu
[12:35] <RickH> ompaul:  I don't need to specify the 2.6.20-16?
[12:35] <kitche> Kworth, iptables does fine firestarter is a frontend to iptables(netfilter)
[12:36] <maestrojed> I am running Feisty and need to install MySQL4.  I have been told there is not a build/DEB for MySQL4 that works of feisty.  Can anyone give me a tip on how I can get MySQL4 installed?
[12:36] <RickH> ompaul:  http://www.pastecode.org/126
[12:36] <PPPP> deer: okay
[12:36] <Kworth> kitche, I'm not that experienced so I will install the frontend
[12:36] <soskel> someone please help me, how can I connect to my network?  Thanks all.
[12:36] <luckyaba> lol
[12:36] <cizarr> how could i analyze my open port and perform actions on them....
[12:37] <nickrud> bet it's the wrong window
[12:37] <Gruelius> soskel: is it plugged in at the other end?
[12:37] <soskel> haha Gruelius... yes
[12:37] <dug_> Kworth: yeah I just installed firestarter, it appears under system->administration->firestarter
[12:37] <RickH> ompaul:  Updated, prior to changing the "0.29*":  http://www.pastecode.org/127
[12:37] <Gruelius> soskel: does the network applet show that you are connected?
[12:38] <PriceChild> !ohmy | luckyaba
[12:38] <ubotu> luckyaba: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:38] <soskel> Gruelius: no it doesn't
[12:38] <RickH> ompaul:  after:  http://www.pastecode.org/128
[12:38] <Gruelius> soskel: gl im off
[12:38] <Kworth> how do I get firestarter into my system start then?
[12:38] <soskel> Grungebunny: is that a command?
[12:38] <ompaul> RickH, so now you need those packages - from whatever repo you are going to grab them
[12:38] <nickrud> RickH, ompaul *headed away* , but that looks right
[12:39] <ompaul> nickrud, yeap bed time here
[12:39] <nickrud> ompaul, sleep well ;)
[12:39] <ompaul> RickH, I have to sleep :-)
[12:39] <soskel> Grungebunny: is that a terminal command?
[12:40] <ehird`> soskel, You mean Gruelius
[12:40] <ehird`> soskel, "gl im off" = "good luck, i'm off"
[12:40] <ehird`> and then he left
[12:40] <soskel> oh
[12:40] <Kworth> how can i configure programms that run at system start?
[12:40] <macd> Chinaski1, if they have bcm43xx wifi also make to download the bcmfwcutter and the firmware before.
[12:40] <__mikem> okay, I was in here asking about this problem earler, but I had to step out for a bit. anyway, I get bus errors when I visit certain websites with firefox
[12:41] <soskel> ehird`: could you please help me?
[12:41] <RickH> nickrud:  Okay, that now indicates those 4 have been "kept back".  But, how do I downgrade from current .31 to the .29 I've specified?
[12:41] <RickH> nickrud:  I thought priority 1001 would do that
[12:41] <demonspork> Whenever I try to tyPe a P without Pressing Shift+P, it doesnt do anything
[12:41] <Pelo> Kworth, start all the progs you want ot start at start up,  close all the ones you don'T    menu > system > prefs > sessions,  third tab ,  click the save session button,  uncheck the automatic save session
[12:42] <demonspork> p
[12:42] <__mikem> demonspork, looks like you fixed it
[12:42] <Pelo> demonspork, borked keyboard ?
[12:43] <Chinaski1> macd, i wonder if wpa_supplicant requires some other dependancies that are not included in a fresh ubuntu installation.
[12:43] <nickrud> RickH, like sudo apt-get install linux-image=2.6.20-16.29
[12:43] <__mikem> now can someone tell me why every time I visit specific websites with firefox, I get bus errors because its beginning to piss me off
[12:43] <nickrud> RickH, you mention the version you've pinned during the install
[12:43] <dug_> Kworth: you can go to system->administration->sessions-> then choose startup programs.  but you don't need to have firestarter startup everytime.  once you run the firestarter wizard once, iptables is secured and runs in the background all the time
[12:43] <RickH> nickrud:  E: Version '2.6.20-16.29' for 'linux-image' was not found
[12:43] <RickH> Am I missing a repo?
[12:43] <Pelo> __mikem, what website ?
[12:43] <__mikem> pelo, the ubuntuforums for one thing
[12:44] <nickrud> RickH, where are you getting it from, ubuntu"
[12:44] <boubbin> do i ned firewall wiht ubuntu ?
[12:44] <macd> Chinaski1, well, you can look @ the packages page and see, Im not totally sure where to find the default install package list though
[12:44] <flush> yo
[12:44] <RickH> nickrud:  I assume.  Where do I check?
[12:44] <Thegeektechnique> hello my fellow *nix lovers... I am trying to update amarok in ubuntu. I run gnome. but in my update manager amarok is grey and I can not select it. any ideas?
[12:44] <Kworth> dug_, okay, but cant I configure it the way a windows firewall works that it always asks me if a programm is allowed to enter internet or network?
[12:44] <RickH> nickrud:  Does synaptic honor the apt-get preferences?
[12:44] <nickrud> RickH, that I do not know
[12:44] <Pelo> __mikem, well it doesn't do that for me, so I is almost sure it is a problem at your end ,  what pluggins do you have in FF ?
[12:44] <flush> [   29.406930]  wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13)
[12:44] <flush> how do i fix my wifi ??
[12:44] <fulio> Hi, i have just installed compiz fusion and i rebooted and now all my windows is like gray, im not able to drag or exit it minimize
[12:45] <m0u5e> whats the command to look in a file and grep for a certain string?
[12:45] <Pelo> RichiH, synaptic is just a frontend for apt-get
[12:45] <boubbin> m0u5e cat lol | grep noob
[12:45] <RickH> nickrud:  Synaptic reports:  main, universe, restricted, multiverse and source code on "server for united states"
[12:45] <Pelo> RichiH,  tun ofr your away message
[12:45] <__mikem> Pelo, currently none. It doesn't even have flash installed
[12:45] <m0u5e> boubbin: thx :)
[12:45] <nickrud> RickH, that's ubuntu. A sec
[12:45] <Pelo> __mikem, what is he exact error msg ?
[12:46] <dug_> Kworth: I'm not sure if there is something like zonealarm or comodo for ubuntu, i'll look around
[12:46] <RickH> this is so frustrating
[12:46] <dustin> i've got a macbook pro and was wondering if there was a way to do the 2 finger on trackpad right click thing
[12:46] <deer> PPPP: ok, im; in
[12:46] <andrewkk> is anyone here familiar with EVMS?
[12:46] <RickH> I'm probably a thing or two away from getting it to work, and yet it's taking hours
[12:46] <__mikem> bus error (core dumped)
[12:46] <boubbin> do i need to have any firewall software installed with ubuntu ?
[12:46] <Pelo> dug_, Kworth  the firewall for ubuntu is netfilter , which can be set using iptables , or the gui frontend firestarter,  or several other gui available in the repos
[12:46] <Thegeektechnique> boubbin: short answer: no
[12:47] <m0u5e> anyone know how to set up roaming profiles, or something similar?
[12:47] <deer> PPPP: my screen name is deer20070904
[12:47] <m0u5e> or folder redirection?
[12:47] <Thegeektechnique> boubbin: but
[12:47] <Thegeektechnique> you need to make sure your security is all good and up to date
[12:47] <dug_> boubbin: ubuntu comes with iptables installed.  you can install firestarter to configure it.  Once you run the firestarter wizard once, iptables closes off outside access
[12:47] <m0u5e> or sync between samba shares?
[12:47] <Pelo> m0u5e,  look up rsync
[12:47] <m0u5e> dug_: how do you configure firewall for multiple NICs?
[12:48] <dug_> m0u5e: don't know, sorry
[12:48] <__mikem> Pelo, error is Bus error (core dumped)
[12:48] <RickH> Pelo:  Was that message directed at me (turning off away message)?
[12:48] <m0u5e> Pelo: is there any thing with a gui?
[12:48] <ryaren> Do you know an Unix-base music maker program?? Like reason or ableton
[12:48] <Pelo> m0u5e, I don't know
[12:48] <LinuxFan> hi all, Im looking for a GUI file compressor that's simulier to Winzip , does something like that exsist? i cant find it on google
[12:48] <m0u5e> Pelo: :(
[12:48] <Thegeektechnique> ryaren: try sourcefuge
[12:48] <Pelo> __mikem,  try looking it up in the forum
[12:48] <m0u5e> LinuxFan: xarchiver
[12:48] <LinuxFan> nice thanks ill try that :D
[12:48] <__mikem> Pelo, when I try to access the ubuntuforums site the same thing happens
[12:48] <m0u5e> LinuxFan: try looking in synaptic
[12:48] <RickH> Pelo:  Oh, never mind.
[12:48] <Pelo> __mikem, sorry I just realised
[12:49] <Grungebunny> linuxfan there is one built into linux I forget its name
[12:49] <Grungebunny> erm.. ubuntu
[12:49] <m0u5e> LinuxFan: if you're using ubuntu, you already have one
[12:49] <Pelo> __mikem, let me have a look , I'll get back to you
[12:49] <macd> !ark | LinuxFan
[12:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ark - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:50] <nickrud> RickH, I don't even see a .29 kernel -> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.20/
[12:50] <zed> j #bash
[12:50] <zed> woops
[12:50] <LinuxFan> ya i tried ark, it wouldnt load
[12:50] <RickH> nickrud:  What version do you see before .31?
[12:50] <RickH> nickrud:  I have .29 installed for restricted and vmware
[12:50] <Kworth> Why is it that my desktop is simply empty  until I reboot?
[12:50] <macd> what do you mean wouldnt load? did it say it coulnt find a program?
[12:50] <m0u5e> hmm is there a way to set up rsync through a gui like pyNeighborhood?
[12:50] <Kworth> Why is it that my desktop is simply empty  until I reboot, sometimes?
[12:50] <LinuxFan> macd, yep
[12:50] <macd> Kworth, sounds like nautilus isnt running
[12:51] <Kworth> macd: yeah , but it crashed
[12:51] <macd> LinuxFan, then install the one it complians about.
[12:51] <Kworth> macd: it was running
[12:51] <m0u5e> Kworth: try nautilus --replace
[12:51] <LinuxFan> ok macd thanks
[12:51] <SeveredCross> Someone help me out here--I have a file that has a list of mp3's (quoted list, the path has spaces).
[12:51] <SeveredCross> I wanna just pass them all to cp
[12:51] <SeveredCross> What's the best way to do that?
[12:51] <nickrud> RickH, apparently ubuntu doesn't keep the old kernels in the pool; not suprising.
[12:52] <macd> SeveredCross, cp *mp3 /path/to/copy/to/
[12:52] <SeveredCross> macd: They're not all in the same folder.
[12:52] <RickH> nickrud:  Oh man.  Any idea where I can get the .29 version?  Or, more importantly, how to get my sound card back with .31?
[12:52] <macd> ohhh, SeveredCross I didnt read that all the way sorry
[12:52] <Kworth> well I will just reboot
[12:52] <Kworth> Cya
[12:52] <SeveredCross> I know cp *mp3, not that thick. :-P
[12:52] <SeveredCross> They're quoted, but xargs and for and read all split the lines as if they weren't.
[12:52] <macd> SeveredCross, does the file with the list of them have the full paths?
[12:53] <nickrud> RickH, I'd put up a request on the forums for someone who still has them hanging around to put them up somewhere
[12:53] <SeveredCross> Absolute paths, yep.
[12:53] <RickH> nickrud:  Okay, thanks.
[12:53] <macd> SeveredCross, a lil sed magic could append a cp to the start of all those I imagine
[12:53] <macd> then just run it as a back script
[12:53] <macd> bash*
[12:53] <SeveredCross> Right, I could do that.
[12:53] <Pelo> __mikem,  staill around ?
[12:53] <__mikem> yes
[12:53] <Pelo> __mikem, found this   for you go to your home directory (/home/yourname)
[12:53] <Pelo> locate the file .mozilla
[12:53] <Pelo> there should be a file named core in there
[12:53] <Pelo> remove it
[12:54] <Arafangion> Hey, if the live cd doesn't boot into the graphical mode properly, how can I install it?
[12:54] <nickrud> RickH, and take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal for handling them when you get it; your pinning will work with that
[12:54] <Pelo> Arafangion,  get the alternate install cd, it has a text based installer
[12:54] <__mikem> pelo, no there isn't in .mozilla
[12:54] <Arafangion> Pelo: No way to force vesa mode or something?
[12:55] <Pelo> __mikem, try locate core in the terminal see if anything ff related comes up
[12:55] <nikodemus> i'm trying to get the wireless work on HP 6910p, but i'm short of clues
[12:55] <Pelo> Arafangion, not unless you hve the dvd which has the text based installer as an option
[12:56] <Pelo> !wifi | nikodemus
[12:56] <ubotu> nikodemus: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:56] <Arafangion> Pelo: if it booted using vesa, it'd still be able to use the graphical installer.
[12:56] <__mikem> pelo locate core | grep firefox works nice to, got some results from there
[12:56] <dog_poop> what segfaults ? emotion_test ? to be sure to have the latest you can check out cvs
[12:57] <__mikem> but none of them are core files
[12:57] <Pelo> Arafangion, I don'T know how to do that,  or even if it can be done
[12:57] <Pelo> __mikem, the only other thing I found was about reinstalling firefox
[12:57] <Ahmed-Bahaa> i dun kno my wireless just worked :D
[12:57] <__mikem> Pelo, tried reinstalling, didn't help
[12:58] <Pelo> __mikem,  but you could maybe try to delete ~/.mozilla   see if that fixes it ,  new profile and such
[12:58] <__mikem> pelo, won't that wipe out my book marks
[12:58] <sanzanric> can i upgrade from 32bit feisty to amd64 gusty
[12:58] <SeveredCross> I don't think so sanzanric.
[12:58] <Pelo> __mikem, pretty much,  I thknk you can  export them first ,  you can try importing them back after
[12:59] <sanzanric> i can't just change the repos
[12:59] <Pelo> __mikem,  mv ~/.mozila ~/.mozilla_backup
[12:59] <Morrowyn> hello
[12:59] <macd> sanzanric, its a really really really bad idea todo that
[12:59] <SeveredCross> sanzanric: You'd have a nasty mix of 32 bit and 64 bit packages.
[12:59] <SeveredCross> It would be a horrible awful mess.
[01:00] <SeveredCross> And would end with you so frustrated you just formt way.atted and did it the righ
[01:00] <Morrowyn> does the 64bit ubuntu version support as many software packages as the 32bit version?
[01:00] <__mikem> Pelo, that actually worked, thanks
[01:00] <__mikem> now can you help me with one more problem
[01:00] <macd> You shouldnt even change your sources.list todo a upgrade to a new release, much less 32/64bit
[01:00] <Pelo> Morrowyn,  we recommend using the x86 version unless you have actual need of a 64 bit system,  64 misses many drivers and doesn't have flash
[01:00] <Pelo> __mikem,  if I can
[01:00] <macd> Morrowyn, no it does not, specifically desktop related stuffs
[01:00] <sanzanric> lets just say i got rid of every package not in main or resricted
[01:00] <Morrowyn> ah ok
[01:00] <Morrowyn> pity
[01:01] <Morrowyn> but good to know :D
[01:01] <nickrud> Morrowyn, about 98% though :)
[01:01] <macd> sanzanric, what you want todo isnt supported at all, so any speculation wouldnt be good
[01:01] <__mikem> Pelo, I need you to help me get my wireless working, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
[01:01] <Pelo> Morrowyn,  if you don'T need flash, and don'T have anything nvidia or ati , you should be fine
[01:01] <sanzanric> i have a 1420 n
[01:01] <macd> Morrowyn, exactly, its fine for servers and the likes
[01:01] <dug_> __mikem: forgive me if i already told you this, but these are the instructions i used to get a 1490 card working (and it works for 1390): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092
[01:02] <slavik`lap> ooh, what are the current issues with 64bit? just flash not working? (natively)
[01:02] <Pelo> __mikem, I know didly about wifi , if you have a specific quesiton I can try to help , as in how to i do this command , but beyond that ...
[01:02] <__mikem> dug_ yes, I had to step out and didn't get a chance to try it
[01:02] <Pelo> slavik`lap, no propriatary drivers
[01:02] <Morrowyn> well i was gonna install ubuntu and checkout that compiz/fusion thing, and yes i need nv stuff as well as flash
[01:02] <slavik`lap> Pelo: for what though? afaik, nvidia makes drivers for 64bit
[01:03] <Pelo> sanzanric, you can'T upgrade from 32 to 64
[01:03] <__mikem> I would like to avoid using ndiswrapper
[01:03] <apo_> Hi everybody
[01:03] <sanzanric> pelo, 100% not possible?
[01:03] <Pelo> slavik`lap, I'm just relating what I've heard,  i think there is something about it in the forum
[01:03] <m0u5e> is there a way to throttle processes in terms of cpu consumption?
[01:03] <m0u5e> besides using nice
[01:03] <slavik`lap> m0u5e: no
[01:03] <Morrowyn> uhm, kick their buttocks?
[01:04] <Morrowyn> whip them?
[01:04] <apo_> Is it possible to add another top-level menu to the gnome-panel, for example a menu called "foobar" next to "Applications" and "Places"?
[01:04] <slavik`lap> apo_: I think so
[01:04] <nickrud> wow, the live cd *does* have a text install
[01:04] <Pelo> sanzanric,  as in,  backup your /home folder and  clean install a 64 bit if you realy want it cause I'm not gonna deal with trying to get you out of the mess you're probably gonna get into fi you try
[01:04] <Vonce8> woah woah - it does?
[01:04] <m0u5e> slavik`lap: darn
[01:05] <__mikem> nickrud since when?
[01:05] <slavik`lap> apo_: nvm, you can't :(
[01:05] <Pelo> apo_,  system > prefs > main menu ,  you can make it how ever you want it
[01:05] <nownot__> ok ubuntu sucks with iptables whats the easiest way to get ssh working
[01:05] <slavik`lap> m0u5e: how did you expect to be able to change it?
[01:05] <__mikem> ZeD-, stop that
[01:05] <apo_> Pelo: That only adds other menus in Applications
[01:05] <nickrud> __mikem, I just booted an iso in vmware; I hit f4 to inspect the vga options, then escape.
[01:05] <slavik`lap> nownot__: install firestarter if iptables is giving you troubles
[01:05] <stefano> Does anyone know how to partition a harddrive without having to use the partitioner in the ubuntu cd?
[01:05] <ZeD-> i am not doing that
[01:05] <apo_> I've tried to just drag it out of that menu, but with no success
[01:06] <nickrud> gonna try that again
[01:06] <ZeD-> stefano, fdisk ?
[01:06] <slavik`lap> stefano: boot from knoppix and use qtparted?
[01:06] <matthew_> any help on the find command?  I am trying to search for 2 different terms in the same results.  I tried "find -name thedirectory "*.tex""  which works, but when you try to add to it like this:  find -name thedirectory "*.tex" "*.bib"  it doesn't work.  so how would I accomplish this?
[01:06] <stefano> I just bought a new hdd and added it in. I want to know if it is possible to format it from ubuntu loaded.
[01:06] <sanzanric> i have close to 100gb in my home dir
[01:06] <stefano> Desktop.
[01:06] <Pelo> apo_,  application is the very top most level, it's the button
[01:06] <__mikem> nick rud do you know how to get my Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01) to work in ubuntu?
[01:06] <m0u5e> slavik`lap: dunno, was just asking :)
[01:06] <slavik`lap> matthew_: man find
[01:06] <nickrud> arg, what was I thinking, wrong cd , sorry __mikem
[01:06] <matthew_> slavik`lap:  already done it, not any help.
[01:06] <radu> nownot__ : what's the problem w/ ssh ?
[01:06] <__mikem> err nickrud ^
[01:06] <Pelo> apo_,  do you mean you just want a foobar luancher in the pannel ?
[01:06] <slavik`lap> m0u5e: k, something you should know, if you own the process, you still need root access to renice it to anything below 0
[01:06] <apo_> No
[01:06] <nownot__> why would i install software to fix a problem beliee that what window users do
[01:06] <apo_> A menu
[01:07] <Pelo> apo_, how about a drawer ?
[01:07] <apo_> Like applications, but for some custom scripts
[01:07] <nownot__> radu: cant get iptalbes to work correctly, never had a problem in fedora though
[01:07] <m0u5e> slavik`lap: yeah i know
[01:07] <slavik`lap> nownot__: what's your problem?
[01:07] <Soskel> hello
[01:07] <slavik`lap> nownot__: firestarter is a GUI frontend to iptables :)
[01:07] <dug_> nownot__: you might try the firestart gui front-end to iptables
[01:07] <nickrud> __mikem, I do believe that's the one in my laptop
[01:07] <radu> nownot__ : what are you trying to do w/ iptables?
[01:07] <apo_> Pelo: Is it possible to show text in the drawer?
[01:07] <Pelo> apo_,  right click , add to pannel,   put in a drawer,  I think that is waht you want
[01:07] <apo_> I know drawers
[01:07] <casperzshado> Rename the Kernel to linux.bin and place it in the root of your ext3 partition. i know this isnt an ubuntu this but i was wondering if anyone could help me with this
[01:07] <nownot__> radu: open 22
[01:07] <Pelo> apo_,  you'll have to test it , I've ever tried it
[01:08] <Soskel> what is an easy to use, free and safe virtual desktop program?
[01:08] <apo_> But I don't see any way of making it menu-like
[01:08] <nownot__> and NO GUI WHY WOULD I INSTALL LINUX IF I WANTED A PRETTY GUI
[01:08] <apo_> Mh...
[01:08] <kitche> !caps | nownot__
[01:08] <ubotu> nownot__: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:08] <nickrud> __mikem, I use the ndiswrapper technique. What laptop do you have?
[01:08] <__mikem> Hp Pavilion dv6500
[01:08] <kitche> nownot__, if the same commands for iptables worked in fedora they should work in ubuntu iptables is not different between the two
[01:08] <houmala> I am looking for some advice. Fiesty 7.04 , 4 GB mem, and a recently added PNY 512MB 7600GS video card. Used automatix2 to load video drivers, video crashes randomly mostly when playing a game like armagetron. I have put an extra fan blowing on video card to help cool. Bad Video Card or driver??
[01:08] <slavik`lap> the dude with the find command thingy ... try "blah|glah"
[01:09] <Soskel> what is an easy to use, free and safe virtual desktop program?
[01:09] <slavik`lap> use pipe for a logical or
[01:09] <Morrowyn> quick question about grub, how do i set the default menu option automatically to always the last entry, eg like after a new kernel upgrade or something?
[01:09] <slavik`lap> Soskel: virtualbox or vmware server
[01:09] <Soskel> ok, thanjs
[01:09] <mumbles> why dose linux in general and wireless have to be so difficult ?
[01:09] <slavik`lap> Morrowyn: you can only set it from beginning ...
[01:09] <nownot__> but fedora some how doesnt rewrite iptables when you reboot i dont know how they do it .......
[01:09] <Dudeicles> how do you list the hd's on your computer to a .txt file?
[01:09] <nownot__> sarcaism
[01:09] <Soskel> slavik`lap: witch is better? Is vmware free?
[01:09] <kitche> !automatix | houmala
[01:09] <ubotu> houmala: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[01:09] <m0u5e> mumbles: cause its not microsoft lol
[01:09] <slavik`lap> mumbles: no manufacturer support
[01:09] <Morrowyn> ok
[01:10] <slavik`lap> Soskel: vmware server is free but you have to register (free) to get keys
[01:10] <kitche> nownot__, sure it does just that they make an automatic firewall init script
[01:10] <slavik`lap> Soskel: also, vmware server can run in background and you only open the console when you need to. :)
[01:10] <kitche> houmala, if you use compiz/beryl Iwould disable it when playing games and such
[01:11] <aguitel> anyone how solve beryl problem with borders ?

[01:11] <Soskel> meh, I can't register for anything....... slavik`lap, what is the command to download VirtualBox?
[01:11] <Dudeicles> someone told me yesterday how to copy my list of my /dev/hda1, etc to a .txt file
[01:11] <nownot__> boo ubuntu
[01:11] <slavik`lap> Soskel: as which is better, no idea because I've only used vmware server
[01:11] <Dudeicles> does anyone else know how to do that?
[01:11] <slavik`lap> Soskel: dunno :P, check getdeb.net for the debs
[01:12] <dug_> Dudeicles: sudo fdisk -l > somefile.txt
[01:12] <Soskel> thanks
[01:12] <radu> nownot__ : sudo iptables -L says what?
[01:12] <nemilar> Is there a channel for SSH/SFTP issues?
[01:12] <nownot__> that ubuntu sucks
[01:12] <slavik`lap> Dudeicles: ls /dev/ > ~/list
[01:12] <slavik`lap> Dudeicles: that?
[01:12] <matthew_> any help on the find command?  I am trying to search for 2 different terms in the same results.  I tried "find -name thedirectory "*.tex""  which works, but when you try to add to it like this:  find -name thedirectory "*.tex" "*.bib"  it doesn't work.  so how would I accomplish this?
[01:12] <Soskel> slavik`lap: what is a .deb?
[01:12] <slavik`lap> nownott: if you want to troll go to ##windows
[01:12] <ScorpKing> how is it possible to have dns but route -n shows '<IP_ADDRESS>  <IP_ADDRESS>  <IP_ADDRESS>  U 0 0 0 ppp0' ? resolve.conf shows <IP_ADDRESS>/14 but i can't ping either. and how do i find the current dns servers?
[01:13] <Pelo> nownott, we totaly agree, that why we think you shoud go and spend 100$ + on vista and never come back here
[01:13] <radu> nownot__: some way to ask for help. Then I guess you don't mind figuring things on your own.
[01:13] <slavik`lap> Soskel: "package" files that debian'sdpkg uses
[01:13] <devilz> hi, i have a problem with installing my ubuntu, i've downloaded latest version of ubuntu, and i booted it from cdrom, and then i when i was trying to install in normal way my monitors is just blinking, can anyone tell me why
[01:13] <jrib> !iptables > nownott (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:13] <slavik`lap> ScorpKing: ppp0 sounds like dial up interface
[01:13] <Pelo> devilz, wht videocard ?
[01:14] <dug_> nownott: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
[01:14] <nownott> haha so let me guess since you *finally* got leet enough to do linux you choose ubuntu since its the best and now yall can make fun of windows
[01:14] <devilz> Pelo, 6600 gt
[01:14] <jrib> !offtopic | nownott
[01:14] <ubotu> nownott: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:14] <nemilar> I've got a serious sftp/scp issue, I can't upload at more than 15KB/s, while I should be uploading at 200K/s...any ideas?
[01:14] <d4rkmonkey> devilz probably to do with your video card, you can try installing from the alternate CD and seeing if it works after you boot, or else you're going to have to configure xserver after installing
[01:14] <Pelo> devilz,  that's a ati or nvidia card ?  you'll need to use the alternate install cd , it is text based
[01:14] <slavik`lap> nownott: if you want to troll go to ##windows
[01:15] <AndrewB> slavik`lap: that is bad advice.
[01:15] <ScorpKing> slavik`lap: it is my default dailup connection .
[01:15] <dug_> nemilar: are you on a cable modem?  comcast has recently been cracking down on seeders/servers
[01:15] <slavik`lap> AndrewB: I have to send him somewhere :P
[01:15] <nemilar> dug_, yeah, but I know for a fact it isn't throttling...I only have the problem when uploading to one host
[01:15] <stefano> Could anyone tell me how to speed up networking with ubuntu? I am seriously thinking that speed is capped. I have 100 Mbps FD switch. And i it takes 3 minutes to transfer 170 MBs.
[01:15] <slavik`lap> ScorpKing: hmm ... I dunno what to say (never used dial up past win98)
[01:15] <shallwe> join #ubuntu-br
[01:15] <shallwe> join #ubuntu-br
[01:16] <devilz> pelo i tried to install it on a safe mode, and it did install but when i restart my comp and tried to log into my ubuntu desktop my pc just stop working and all i can see is ubuntu screen name
[01:16] <nownott> slavik`lap: want a real os go to look up slackware
[01:16] <Pelo> shallwe,  /join ...
[01:16] <jrib> shallwe: /join #ubuntu-br
[01:16] <slavik`lap> stefano, 100MBps = 100megabits = 12.5Mbytes
[01:16] <slavik`lap> nownott: then use that :)
[01:17] <dug_> nemilar: maybe that host is being flooded by requests from somewhere else?  just a wild wild guess
[01:17] <Pelo> devilz,  the alternate install cd is the only advice I have for you,  maybe someone else has an idea
[01:17] <nownott> will do
[01:17] <nemilar> dug_, nah, if I SSH into that machine, I can download from myself at the standard 200K/s
[01:17] <nemilar> dug_, and multiple machines are having the same problem uploading to that single host
[01:17] <jerware> hi
[01:17] <stefano> Yes, but shouldn't 170 MB transfer faster than 3 minutes?
[01:17] <SeveredCross> Anyone know where gnome stores its themes?
[01:17] <jerware> xterm -fs 18 doesent work
[01:17] <SeveredCross> stefano: Over what medium?
[01:17] <edwin> matthew_: "ls *.tex *.bib"?
[01:17] <stefano> LAn
[01:18] <devilz> pelo where can i find alternate install cd iso
[01:18] <jerware> the font size stays the same.
[01:18] <jrib> SeveredCross: ~/.themes for stuff you installed
[01:18] <setuid> What is the difference between gutsy-alternate-i386 and gutsy-desktop-i386?
[01:18] <KevinOman> how do I know if a server it "nated"
[01:18] <SeveredCross> How about default gnome themes?
[01:18] <nemilar> dug_, the problem only occurs using ssh/sftp/scp...http and ftp transfers go very fast
[01:18] <jrib> SeveredCross: /usr/share/themes/
[01:18] <SeveredCross> setuid: Desktop is a LiveCD, alternate is a text-based installer.
[01:18] <upgrdman> anyone know when the next version of ubuntu is expected to be released? the current 7.04 wont install with the live cd, and im not sure if i want to d/l the other cd or just wait for the next version
[01:18] <matthew_> edwin:  i eventually figured it out, thanks though.
[01:18] <slavik`lap> stefano: maybe something with the router/switch? maybe the system receiving it is kinda slow?
[01:18] <SeveredCross> Thanks jrib.
[01:18] <Pelo> devilz,  the ubuntu.com site,  select the cd same as usual there is a checkbox below the download button
[01:18] <slavik`lap> upgrdman: october ...
[01:18] <dug_> nemilar: oh i just know a guy who had to change his ssh port because there were so many outside attacks on it constantly
[01:18] <setuid> SeveredCross: Which one should I go with to get the latest build?
[01:18] <upgrdman> slavik`lap, o ok, thanks
[01:18] <nickrud> setuid, alternate installs in more places, live cd runs a desktop from the cd as well as acting as an installer
[01:18] <SeveredCross> setuid: Not important, they're the same packages.
[01:19] <setuid> Ok
[01:19] <slavik`lap> upgrdman: try gutsy anyway ^^
[01:19] <xiambax> anyone here running ubunto on a power pc?
[01:19] <upgrdman> gutsy?
[01:19] <dug_> upgrdman:  october 18th
[01:19] <setuid> I'll try alternate for now...
[01:19] <nemilar> dug_, I tried running SSH on a non-standard port, no affect...so I'm thinking it's a configuration issue
[01:19] <KevinOman> how do I know if my server is nated?
[01:19] <setuid> Back in a failed install :)
[01:19] <edwin> matthew_: did you figure out any way to do it with find command? i looked at that first but couldn't figure it out
[01:19] <kitche> !powerpc | xiambax
[01:19] <slavik`lap> upgrdman: gutsy gibbon (next version)
[01:19] <ubotu> xiambax: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[01:19] <kitche> xiambax, not sure how many tried since it's community supported nw
[01:19] <stefano> slavik'lap, i have server on a 500 MHz system with a 100 Mbps card. My desktop, receiving is 3.0 GHz AMD 6000+ X2 Dual core with Gb connection, and a switch in between.
[01:20] <upgrdman> slavik`lap, is there a web page for gg including some info and a link to the cd
[01:20] <VSpike> I got an fsck failure during my last boot.  Which log file should it be recorded in?
[01:20] <xiambax> Current is 7.04 right?
[01:20] <slavik`lap> upgrdman: the wiki
[01:20] <slavik`lap> stefano: hmm, then I dunno :(, sorry
[01:20] <stefano> lol, is the sending system slow?
[01:20] <Pelo> VSpike,  check under /var/log , should be self evident
[01:20] <matthew_> edwin:  yeah.  do it like this:  find thedirectory -name "*.tex" -or -name "*.bib"   --- this works for my purposes.
[01:20] <nickrud> VSpike, most likely /var/log/syslog
[01:20] <slavik`lap> stefano: check that both negotiated at 100mbps?
[01:20] <dug_> xiambax: yeah but i don't know if there is a ppc version.  new macs using intel processors and don't need a ppc version of ubuntu anymore
[01:20] <xiambax> im just wondering how to would run on a ppc 333mhz with 342 meg ram?
[01:20] <nua> Hi, I'm looking to buy a mid-range 3D card, can anyone suggest one that will work on feisty with minimum fuss?
[01:20] <stefano> yeah... well switch dictates.
[01:20] <edwin> matthew_: cool. thx
[01:20] <dudeicles> this is killing me. how do I just make a dang HD mount automatically?
[01:21] <stefano> I can't get mii-tool working on desktop.
[01:21] <upgrdman> slavik`lap, is the wiki listed on ubuntus main page?
[01:21] <edwin> I'm running "configure" and getting an error: No package 'gtk+-2.0' found. How do I get that package? I tried "apt-get" but couldn't find it.
[01:21] <xiambax> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/feisty/release/ <--- its available for ppc
[01:21] <slavik`lap> nua: 8600 series from nvidia
[01:21] <stefano> So i can't tell if it is auto neg.
[01:21] <slavik`lap> upgrdman: wiki.ubuntu.com
[01:21] <Pelo> xiambax,  maybe you shold try  xubuntu , made for older comps
[01:21] <dudeicles> is there a mounting program in ubuntu?
[01:21] <nickrud> edwin, libgtk2.0-dev
[01:21] <upgrdman> slavik`lap, thanks
[01:21] <kitche> dudeicles, yes it's installed by default
[01:21] <slavik`lap> dudeicles: mount
[01:21] <nemilar> edwin, if you're compiling source code you need to install the *-dev packages
[01:21] <d4rkmonkey> nua you could always check this... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[01:21] <jrib> dudeicles: what filesystem is on it?
[01:22] <dudeicles> the HD's I have are NTFS
[01:22] <jrib> !ntfs > dudeicles (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:22] <dudeicles> k
[01:22] <xiambax> Pelo, xubuntu isnt available for ppc
[01:22] <Nighthawk420> hello everyone
[01:22] <edwin> nickrud: thanks. is there any way i can know what package i need? i mean how do i know libgtk2.0-dev == gtk2.0+?
[01:22] <nemilar>  4:20!
[01:22] <Pelo> xiambax, didn' tknow that , sorry
[01:23] <nickrud> edwin, what are you compiling, there's gonna be more libraries you'll need the development packages for; if you're lucky there's a one liner ;)
[01:23] <Nighthawk420> indeed it is 4:20 somewhere
[01:23] <xiambax> i will try fluxbuntu
[01:23] <kitche> edwin, it says gtk2.0 that's how pretty much I hate how ubuntu/debain split all the packages up makes it harder
[01:23] <edwin> nickrud: i'm trying to compile terminal
[01:23] <upgrdman> slavik`lap, i found a page for gutsy, but no link or info other than an announcement of the nam
[01:23] <slavik`lap> r420 = ati x800gpu :)
[01:23] <Arafangion> edwin: Doesn't it exist in Ubuntu?
[01:23] <Pelo> xiambax,  there should be system specs to run ubuntu on the site,   I beleive 256meg is the minimum ram for pc I assume similar for PPC ,  don'T know about mac processors
[01:23] <Zemus> This is what happens when I "make" ndiswrapper. Can someone tell me what's going wrong, and what I should do? http://pastebin.com/m2440d0ca
[01:23] <nickrud> edwin, gnome-terminal?  sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-terminal
[01:24] <soccermike1337> hello, i tried to upgrade to gutsy gibbon, but when i rebooted, it said the x window server or something couldnt start.. and solutions?
[01:24] <Pelo> Zemus,  why are you making ndiswrapper ? there are deb files on the cd
[01:24] <Zambezi> Is there a way to export a email in TB to pdf? I found an extension, but it didn't work with the latest TB.
[01:24] <kitche> !gutsy | soccermike1337
[01:24] <Nighthawk420> same prob here soccer but with 7.04
[01:24] <ubotu> soccermike1337: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[01:24] <edwin> nickrud: sweet. thanks!
[01:24] <nemilar> soccermike1337, GG is alpha...
[01:24] <soccermike1337> i know XD
[01:24] <nickrud> edwin, and the rule of thumb:  add a lib to the beginning, drop any numbers, then do aptitude search <construct> | grep -dev , it's nearly always in that list
[01:24] <kitche> soccermike1337, #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support until October
[01:24] <slavik`lap> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/gutsy/tribe-5/
[01:24] <soccermike1337> thanks
[01:24] <Zemus> Pelo, I didn't know that... well, just for the sake of learning, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong anyway? Or what I would have to do if there weren't deb files on the cd?
[01:25] <VSpike> "grep -i fsck /var/log/*" doesn't find anything
[01:25] <Nighthawk420> okay how do i remove ubuntu from my internal hard drive and re install it?
[01:25] <dug_> Zemus: try installing build-essential and the kernel headers with this command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
[01:25] <edwin> nickrud: thanks. i've been trying to figure this out for a while.
[01:25] <dug_> Zemus: I used these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092
[01:25] <Zemus> dug_, thanks
[01:25] <Pelo> Zemus,  put the cd in the drive ,  you should get a msg asking you to add it to the repos, you can then install ndiswarpper from synaptic  , let me check the png to tell you what happened with the make
[01:25] <soccermike1337> #ubuntu+1 is creepy.. its so quiet
[01:26] <VSpike> nickrud: not in syslog, nope
[01:26] <Zemus> Pelo, thank you :D
[01:26] <edwin> Arafangion: i'
[01:26] <nickrud> VSpike, try dmesg
[01:26] <edwin> Arafangion: i'm trying to build from the source
[01:26] <nickrud> VSpike, it's annoying, but a lot of boot time messages get lost
[01:26] <VSpike> nickrud: nope, not there either
[01:27] <Pelo> Zemus,  for the make errors looks to me like you,re missing a butload of dependencies did you run ./configure first ?
[01:27] <nickrud> VSpike, try running the fsck manually then
[01:27] <Kworth> how do I stop rsync from using chown?
[01:27] <VSpike> is there a way to run fsck on all volumes listed in fstab which require it?
[01:27] <Pelo> VSpike, man fsck
[01:27] <dug_> Pelo: yeah he didn't have the kernel headers installed i think
[01:27] <ScorpKing> dudeicles: you still there?
[01:27] <Pelo> dug_, ?
[01:28] <nickrud> VSpike, you can run fsck on as many as you want, just list them on the command line
[01:28] <Thegeektechnique> hey fellow *nix lovers... I am using gnome. I am trying to upgrade amarok, but in my update manager, amarok is grey and I can not select it
[01:29] <VSpike> Thanks .. bbl
[01:29] <Zemus> Pelo, when I run ./configure, I get "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"
[01:29] <Pelo> Thegeektechnique, not available yet  wait a couple of days
[01:29] <Soskel> someone help please: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=35 I get that when installing vmware
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: you're in the wrnog directory, sounds like
[01:29] <Thegeektechnique> ok thanks pelo
[01:29] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, I shouldn't be... there's really only one directory, it's the one I extracted the tar.gz to.
[01:29] <dug_> Kworth: if you do "man rsync" you'll see more options, like -o which preserves the owner, and -p, which preserves permissions
[01:29] <Pelo> Zemus,  you need to run ./configure from inside the unpacked folder with the souce code in it ,  and you need ot have installed  build-essential first
[01:29] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, I can give you a path and ls if you like.
[01:30] <Kworth> dug_, i used those
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: no, if you say you're not, then you're not, but you are.
[01:30] <Zemus> Pelo, I'm guessing I don't have build-essential installed :P
[01:30] <Soskel> someone help please: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=35 I get that when installing vmware
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> i won't argue with you.
[01:30] <Kworth> dug_, it still wants to change some
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: what are you trying to compile
[01:30] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, that was the most confusing error ever.
[01:30] <Zemus> s/error/sentence
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: what error was that?
[01:30] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, ndiswrapper.
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> isn't that in the repos?
[01:31] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, aptitude doesn't see it.
[01:31] <dudeicles> ScorpKing: I'm still here, just feeling like an idiot that this ain't working for me. LOL
[01:31] <Pelo> IndyGunFreak,  on the cd even
[01:31] <james_> Does anyone have any experience installing wireless drivers on a lenovo 3000 n100. I have read every wiki and forum on the internet and nothing seems to work
[01:31] <dug_> Kworth: there is -g for preserving the group, too, don't know if that will help
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: why are you compiling it?.. its int he repos/on the cd?
[01:31] <ScorpKing> dudeicles: go to #kubuntu. not so busy there. will help you.
[01:31] <Pelo> Zemus,   browse the cd and start it manualy,  ( by dbl clicking) ,   it 's in cd > pool > main > N
[01:31] <dudeicles> if it means anything at least to me, I'm pretty good with Windows, just dont' know crap about Linux
[01:31] <dudeicles> k
[01:32] <dug_> Pelo, Zemus, you don't need to run ./configure when compiling ndiswrapper, again see the instructions i linked to earlier
[01:32] <james_> nick james
[01:32] <Kworth> dug_ i use following options: -rlptgoDv
[01:32] <Pelo> dudeicles, you'll learn
[01:32] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, I'll probably use the version on the cd's after I make sure it's not in the repos after all. I was just curious what had gone wrong with the make. And I like how to learn how to do things. I'll have to know how to troubleshoot make eventually :)
[01:32] <Kworth> dug_, but it still wants to change owner
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: well, i'm pertty sure you'er in the wrong directory
[01:33] <james_> quit
[01:33] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, let me give you a pwd and ls just to make sure :D
[01:33] <darlok> How would I go about finding another user's password on my computer?    if you did, then maybe another thing to do is run it as root.  sudo -s, then run command
[01:33] <Jordan_U> darlok, You can't you can only change their password
[01:33] <Zemus> http://pastebin.com/m3fc069b0
[01:33] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, http://pastebin.com/m3fc069b0
[01:33] <lashmoove> is skype any good under linux? I just added the repo.. and it looks years away from the windows version
[01:33] <Pelo> darlok, I think you can reset the password in menu >`system > admin > users
[01:34] <bruenig> darlok, the password is stored in a hashed salted form, you would have to do a brute force thing to figure it out
[01:34] <darlok> Jordan_U: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
[01:34] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, that's the directory I'm in, and its contents.
[01:34] <Soskel> someone help please: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=35 I get that when installing vmware
[01:34] <Arafangion> Jordan_U: That was the responsible answer. :)
[01:34] <Arafangion> bruenig: That was the irresponsible answer. :)
[01:34] <bruenig> oh
[01:34] <Pelo> Soskel, just use the vmware in  add/remove
[01:34] <kitche> darklok: well you can but only way is to do some unencrypting which will take hours most likely unless they use a dumb password
[01:34] <bruenig> I guess I should say salted hash form shouldn't I
[01:34] <Soskel> Pelo: what do you mean?
[01:34] <Kworth> dug_, yeah i run it as root the problem is just that i'm backing up an ntfs disk so I cant set permissions
[01:34] <darlok> kitche: It's my 13 year old daughter, I'm sure it's a dumb password ;)
[01:34] <bruenig> as the salt is applied before the hash isn't it?
[01:35] <Arafangion> darlok: Why don't you just /change/ her password, then?
[01:35] <slavik`lap> darlok: and brute force will take more more time than you have left to live ^^
[01:35] <Pelo> Soskel,   menu > applications > add/remove   , search : vmware  , install from there
[01:35] <darlok> Arafangion: I'm probably going to... was just hoping I would be THAT father, you know?
[01:35] <Javid> how do I rig dvds to autoplay in vlc instead of totem?
[01:35] <darlok> wouldn't, rather
[01:35] <Soskel> thanks Pelo
[01:35] <slavik`lap> Pelo: that's for the player, not server
[01:35] <fhobia> how do you upgrade to an "unstable" version of a piece of software if running a LTS ubuntu version ?
[01:36] <Arafangion> darlok: Yeah, you want to spy without her knowing?
[01:36] <Jordan_U> slavik`lap, Depends on the password :)
[01:36] <darlok> Arafangion: Pretty much, yeah.
[01:36] <Pelo> slavik`lap,  both
[01:36] <slavik`lap> Jordan_U: "good" one
[01:36] <slavik`lap> Pelo: it has vmware server, too, now?
[01:36] <Arafangion> darlok: I say she ought to just get used to the fact that she's going to have supervision even if she doesn't want to!
[01:36] <Jordan_U> fhobia, You may want to use backports if I understand what you are trying to get
[01:36] <Pelo> slavik`lap, in 7.04 it does
[01:36] <slavik`lap> Pelo: k
[01:36] <Kworth> dug_, the o argument says it sets owner same as source , so I cut g and o ... maybe now it works
[01:37] <Joeb454> hey - does anybody know about bridging 2 NIC's between feisty and an xbox? (feisty connected to router, xbox connected to pc)
[01:37] <fhobia> Jordan_U: i have an old version of git on this LTS and i just want to get the latest version through aptitude
[01:37] <slavik`lap> darlok: why do you need a user's password, if you have root access, you can just look at another user's files
[01:37] <kitche> darlok, but if your the admin you don't even have to log into her account at all actually just snoop around her home directory and you should find some information you want
[01:37] <Zambezi> Which is the best texteditor to save as pdf? It's not possble in OO.
[01:37] <slavik`lap> Zambezi: yes it is
[01:37] <darlok> kitche: Ah, that's true... kopete and pidgin both keep logs, right?
[01:37] <kitche> Zambezi, oOO which can
[01:37] <slavik`lap> file -> export as pdf
[01:38] <Jordan_U> fhobia, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty-backports/devel/
[01:38] <dug_> Zambezi: in openoffice, choose file export.  (in gutsy, every application will be able to save as pdf)
[01:38] <Soskel> Pelo: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=37
[01:38] <SpudDogg> sup kitche
[01:38] <nemilar> Is Pidgin anywhere in the FF repos?  Or only Gaim?
[01:38] <kitche> darlok, should if setup that way but you can always copy her kopete and pidgin fodlers to your account and login that way
[01:38] <Jordan_U> fhobia, Sorry, I think I gave the wrong link...
[01:38] <slavik`lap> nemilar: only gaim
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: is the ndiswrapper folder on your desktop?
[01:38] <Arafangion> Pelo: As for my ealrier question about forcing VESA mode, I believe it /is/ possible, was just hoping it was also possible in Ubuntu.
[01:38] <nemilar> slavik`lap, that's what I thought, yeah
[01:38] <fhobia> ...oh, how do i tell what version of ubuntu i have? lol...
[01:38] <Joeb454> nemilar: search for "gaim upgrade to pidgin" on the forums
[01:38] <Zambezi> slavik`lap, kitche dug_ Oh there. Just checked in save as. Thanks.
[01:39] <darlok> Arafangion, kitche, Jordan_U, bruenig:  Thanks for your help, everyone.

[01:39] <Pelo> Soskel,  you can find  synaptic in  menu <`system> admin > synpatic packag emanager,   search for vmware just the same as you did , it iwll tell you what it wants to remove in order to install
[01:39] <SpudDogg> you'd be proud of me kitche, i know how to make simlinks now :)  thanks for all the help you gave me in the past
[01:39] <Jordan_U> nemilar, getdeb.org has it
[01:39] <Arafangion> Pelo: HOwever, it turned out that my friend had tried the 6.06 release, which I've politely told him is practically obsolete. :)
[01:40] <slavik`lap> SpudDogg: symlinks :P
[01:40] <Pelo> Arafangion, It' might be, I just don'T know how
[01:40] <Joeb454> does anybody know about bridging 2 NIC's between feisty and an xbox? (feisty connected to router, xbox connected to pc)
[01:40] <SpudDogg> slavik`lap: yea, yea :)
[01:40] <Soskel> Pelo: I already tied installing from synaptic, but I got errors during the install... can I just remove it from synaptic, then install from add/romve?
[01:41] <Pelo> Arafangion, 6.06 is the lts it won,T be obsolete until the next lts  in a couple of years I think , strickly speaking it is the most stable version currently available
[01:41] <darlok> Where is the "Recent Documents" log located?
[01:41] <bruenig> darlok, I remember a recently used thing from a while ago being located at ~/.recently-used
[01:41] <bruenig> if that is the same
[01:41] <Flannel> Arafangion: 6.06 is supported until June of 2009, but the next LTS will be released a year earlier than that (8.04) which you can upgrade striaght to
[01:41] <Pelo> Soskel, in synaptic do you get a msg that tells you such and such packages need to be removed ?  remove them whitout instaling vmware and tehn try installing vmware
[01:41] <bruenig> haven't used gnome in a long time
[01:42] <darlok> bruenig: Yeah, I asked too soon, because I just found that very file too :)
[01:42] <darlok> thanks
[01:42] <Joeb454> i thought gutsy was lts?

[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: i'm well aware of the path you gave me, i asked where you put the folder, is the actual folder on your desktoop, or in your home folder?
[01:45] <nichos> Hi all, im playing around with my capture card. I have it set to ntsc/us-cable but I'm getting a mostly green screen with a little static above that in xawtv - any ideas?
[01:45] <emory> Howdy all
[01:45] <d4rkmonkey> !hi | emory
[01:45] <ubotu> emory: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:45] <Jordan_U> Zemus, What guide are you following and what chipset is your card?
[01:46] <ionstorm> i am trying to test security at my network at work with ettercap, and I have forwarding set, but it does not relay the packets
[01:46] <emory> I am building a DVR system and everytime I boot the sd* letters in /dev refer to different drives...
[01:46] <ionstorm> anyone familiar with ettercap usage?
[01:46] <emory> e.g. my primary drive has been sda sdd sdb and sde today
[01:46] <emory> is there anyway to make this static?
[01:46] <Zemus> Jordan_U, I'm not following a guide, I'm just trying to run a make on ndiswrapper. I'll give you the chipset in just a sec.
[01:46] <ghost02> hello
[01:47] <Jordan_U> emory, It may be easier to use UUID's for whatever you are using sd* for
[01:47] <ghost02> anyone need help?
[01:47] <Zemus> 05:02.0 Network controller [0280] : Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318]  (rev 02)
[01:47] <todkon> Xorg has been taking up about 50% of my processes and RAM.... I'm running Ubuntu Feisty.... would a downgrade or something fix this?
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: like i said, it looksl ike you're in the wrong directory
[01:47] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, cool! What directory should I be in?
[01:47] <todkon> I think its a recent bug, it never used to take upto 50% or more of my processor and RAM
[01:47] <Soskel> slavik`lap: hey
[01:47] <Soskel> could you help me?
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> well i've asked you twice where you put the folder, and you haven't answered, so i don't know.
[01:47] <emory> Jordan_U: I'm not familiar with UUID?  is this just a static reference to the drives?
[01:47] <d4rkmonkey> ghost02 uh, if you can help with someones question, do it. otherwise just sit in this chennel.
[01:47] <Soskel> when vmware starts up, it asks me to find a .vmx file... what do I do?!?
[01:48] <ghost02> mmk
[01:48] <dug_> IndyGunFreak: he's in the right directory, he just needed to install the kernel headers.  i already told him how
[01:48] <Jordan_U> !UUID | emory
[01:48] <Jordan_U> emory, UUID's are awesome :)
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> dug_: he was getting a directory does not exist error.
[01:48] <ubotu> emory: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[01:48] <ghost02> whats is a UUID?
[01:48] <emory> Sweet!
[01:48] <ghost02> nvm
[01:49] <emory> I will try that!
[01:49] <Joeb454> does anybody know about bridging 2 NIC's between feisty and an xbox? (feisty connected to router, xbox connected to pc)
[01:49] <emory> thanks!
[01:49] <dug_> IndyGunFreak: earlier he wasn't, he ran make and got errors that you get when the kernel headers cannot be found.  i guess he changed to the wrong directory then
[01:49] <pgd> Universally unique identifier
[01:49] <soothsayer> What packages installs /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build   ?
[01:49] <Soskel> when vmware starts up, it asks me to find a .vmx file... what do I do?!?
[01:49] <Joeb454> Soskel: http://www.easyvmx.com
[01:50] <Soskel> thanks
[01:50] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, I responded to you both times. If you look in my example I gave you at http://pastebin.com/m3fc069b0, you can see me type the "pwd" command, which reveals where the folder is. You can also see this from the command line where I'm typing. The contents from this folder are also listed when I used the "ls" command. Since you don't seem to be following me when I tell you this, the folder is located at /home/yeti/ndiswrapper-1.47.
[01:50] <Joeb454> vmx files are basically the Virtual PC's :P
[01:50] <IndyGunFreak> ok Zemus  good luck with your problem
[01:51] <Kworth> hmm my bluetooth device is somehow not connection to my cellphone, it ask for pins and I enter those which are written in the config but it says wrong authentification , anyone a clue?
[01:51] <Joeb454> does anybody know about bridging 2 NIC's between feisty and an xbox? (feisty connected to router, xbox connected to pc)
[01:51] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, do you know where I should be? You've said a couple of times I was in the wrong folder, but after I asked you where I should be, you said you didn't know since you didn't know where I put the folder. I've shown you, now do you or do you not know where I should be?
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: no, i don't know anything.. good luck
[01:51] <dug_> Zemus: that's the right folder to be in.  did you install the kernel headers and build-essential?: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
[01:51] <Jordan_U> Zemus, What does the Readme file say?
[01:51] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, if you don't know anything, then next time don't waste so much of my time, thanks.
[01:51] <sebsebseb> I been thinking about maybe downgrading/upgrading because of all the bugs in Gutsy.  and how I should have probably stuck with Feisty really untill at least Gutsy Beta,  since I am not a dev.  just someone that thought that maybe they would get say an alpha of Firefox 3  and Pidgin and some other new stuff like that in Alpha of Gutsy.  and not minor issues for me untill now,  the sound not working.  Well I learnt my
[01:51] <sebsebseb> lesson  Ubuntu Alphas are qutie buggy,  unlike other open source programs that are Alpha such as F irefox,  I mean even the alphas seem to work rather well.  So it's either a  fix for the sound in Gutsy, and stick with the slow booting up of the Gutsy account, and no GDM sound thingey and no log in and exit.  or  just some how go back to Feisty
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: trust me, you were in the wrong directory
[01:51] <Zemus> dug_, I'm about to, one moment. And thanks :D
[01:52] <Zemus> IndyGunFreak, ignored
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> thast w2hy you got that error.
[01:52] <dug_> soothsayer: maybe try: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
[01:52] <Zemus> Jordan_U, the readme file says to run make, but that results in some errors. I'm about to install the kernel headers and build-essential as dug_ suggested.
[01:53] <Flannel> sebsebseb: the definition of alpha is "not fit for the general public"
[01:53] <sebsebseb> yes I Know
[01:53] <sebsebseb> I accep there would be bugs
[01:53] <sebsebseb> I didn't reolize it would be this buggy though,  and that even updates would cause problems such as sound no longer working in Gutsy
[01:53] <juan_> ive got a GeForce FX 5600 do i want nvidia new or nvidia
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> sebsebseb: uh, lol, its beta
[01:53] <dug_> sebsebseb: there is a #ubuntu+1 channel for gutsy.  you might want to install feisty temporarily to a separate partition and use that until gutsy final is released in a month and a half
[01:53] <Flannel> sebsebseb: alpha versions are always day to day re: updates
[01:54] <Jordan_U> Zemus, IndyGunFreak There are 3 possibilities that I see, 1: there is no ./configure script needed for ndiswrapper ( as someone mentioned ) 2: Zemus is in the wrong directory 3: Bash is not working in this particular instance ( seriously doubt that... )
[01:54] <soothsayer> dug_: Thanks, that did it (I thought headers were installed automatically :( )
[01:54] <Vorian> juan_, nvidia-glx-new
[01:54] <sebsebseb> yes  I am also in the ubuntu+1 channel,  but  no one decant in there at the moment
[01:54] <sebsebseb> or I should say that is at there IRC client
[01:54] <Jordan_U> Zemus, IndyGunFreak I am putting my money on #1
[01:54] <sebsebseb> in other words no one was replying to me there
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: well, i've yet to see ndiswrapper not have a ./configure script
[01:54] <Javid> how do I rig dvds to autoplay in vlc instead of totem?
[01:54] <jrib> Javid: system -> preferences -> removable drives and media
[01:55] <Javid> fank yous
[01:55] <juan_> Vorian: thx
[01:55] <dug_> Jordan_U: you are right, no ./configure is required to be run, but also he is missing the linux headers which are required to compile ndiswrapper 1.47
[01:55] <Vorian> np juan_
[01:55] <Zemus> Jordan_U, I listed exactly the directory and its contents... so you should be able to tell whether I'm in the wrong one or not. I think I'm going for #1 as well :P
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> dug_: i'm not denying he doesn't have dependency probs, but when youj're getting ./configure not found, that only comes up with one thing.
[01:55] <jrib> !ndiswrapper > Zemus (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:55] <sebsebseb> How do I downgrade by getting the packages from the net,  back to Feisty?
[01:55] <Jordan_U> dug_, Why is no ./configure required, and why is it required other times?
[01:55] <dug_> sebsebseb: like i said, if you can install feisty to a separate partition i'd do that rather than try to downgrade gutsy.
[01:55] <Zemus> jrib, thank you :)
[01:55] <Zemus> jrib, I already looked there, but thanks ;)
[01:56] <Zemus> hey dug_, when I type sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential, it results in E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r
[01:56] <jrib> you forgot the two `
[01:56] <Zemus> dug_, sorry, looks like I made a typo. yep
[01:56] <sebsebseb> well  yeah that's what I thought to give it a mounth or so or whatever it will be now,  and the beta of Gutsy will be out,  and  should be able to to auto update to that
[01:56] <dug_> Zemus:  make sure you do back ticks ```` instead of regular apostrophes ''''''
[01:56] <Zemus> dug_, jrib, doing it now
[01:56] <Jordan_U> Zemus, Where did you download the NDISwrapper source from?
[01:56] <Zemus> yeah, those weren't installed. Interesting.
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> thats what i'm curious about.
[01:57] <Zemus> Jordan_U, the official source page.
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> Zemus: do you have a link?
[01:57] <bruenig> guys should instruct them to use dollar parenthesis instead of backticks
[01:57] <Jordan_U> Zemus, Link?
[01:57] <dug_> everybody here are instructions for compiling ndiswrapper (also installing dell broadcom wireless card drivers): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092
[01:57] <Zemus> Jordan_U, sure one moment
[01:57] <jrib> bruenig: agreed
[01:57] <Chinaski1> bye
[01:57] <simosx> is there a service similar to pastebin, but for PDFs?
[01:57] <sebsebseb> dug_:  carn't really do that since how this computer is set up,  about half the hard disk for Ubuntu and about half the hard disk for crappy Vista Home Premium.  and a 2GB or so Fat32 to share between the two OS's
[01:57] <sebsebseb> some files
[01:57] <Zemus> Jordan_U, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482 I selected 1.47, or stable.
[01:58] <sebsebseb> ,but  I did think about maybe  running say a Feisty Virtual Machine inside Vista for now
[01:58] <jrib> Zemus: is there a reason you aren't using the ubuntu packages?
[01:58] <Zemus> sebsebseb, wow lol
[01:58] <Zemus> jrib, I guess I was just trying to learn to compile something from source.
[01:58] <dug_> sebsebseb: the other alternative is to backup the important stuff (like in your home folder, the prefs), then delete gutsy, install feisty, and copy back over your prefs
[01:58] <sebsebseb> Zemus:  was that meant to be a sort of Vista joke?
[01:59] <Zemus> sebsebseb, no, it's just unusual. Good luck, though :)
[01:59] <jrib> Zemus: you should probably pick something with a ./configure script eh?
[01:59] <sebsebseb> what is?
[01:59] <Zemus> jrib, I guess so, eh? Lol
[01:59] <dug_> sebsebseb: yet another option is to use wubi to install feisty inside your vista partition if you have the room: http://wubi-installer.org/
[01:59] <sebsebseb> oh yes I got the room
[01:59] <Zemus> jrib, hehehe. So if I'm going to run ./configure, there should be a file in the directory called 'configure', or what? I really appreciate your help, btw. :)
[01:59] <sebsebseb> loads of free space
[01:59] <slavik`lap> someone call my name?
[02:00] <jrib> Zemus: yes, there should be a file called 'configure' to run ./configure
[02:00] <Zemus> jrib, ahhh. See, now we know... hahaha. Thanks!
[02:00] <Soskel> Joeb454: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=38
[02:00] <Zemus> jrib, the readme says you don't need to configure, that you can just make. Odd, huh?
[02:00] <Zemus> jrib, you might try downloading the tarball and checking it out for yourself, if you're curious. *shrug* :)
[02:00] <sebsebseb> if  I install  with wubi inside the Vista partition,  that Ubuntu,  should be able to mount this Ubuntus partition?
[02:01] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, The file he linked to does not have a configure script, looking at the readme now...
[02:01] <Zemus> ah, dig_ quit. His advice was spot on, it seems to be working now.
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> i saw that, i jsut compiled it.. strange.
[02:01] <ionstorm> I need to set up port forwarding "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" only forwards icmp ping but not browsing, what do I need to do
[02:01] <kitche> many programs are getting away from configure if they are very small programs
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> if he'd have just answered myq uestion though, and not rattled off the path, i'd have realized that... oh well, i'm over it.
[02:01] <Soskel> someone look: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=38
[02:02] <Soskel> I can't get vmware to work
[02:02] <Soskel> I really want it to work
[02:02] <Soskel> please someone
[02:02] <jrib> !enter | Soskel
[02:02] <ubotu> Soskel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:02] <ant-> !port | ionstorm
[02:02] <radu> is there a flash player for feisty amd64?
[02:02] <ubotu> ionstorm: For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall
[02:02] <dug_> Zemus: you mean dug_ not dig_ :)
[02:02] <jrib> Soskel: the error message seems to explain the problem.  Have you tried using easyvmx.com?
[02:03] <jrib> !flash > radu (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:03] <Soskel> yes
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> radu: dont think so...
[02:03] <Jordan_U> !flash64 | radu
[02:03] <ubotu> radu: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[02:03] <jrib> Soskel: where did you install vmware player from?
[02:03] <radu> neat, thanks
[02:03] <Soskel> jrib: add/remove software
[02:03] <Soskel> I just installed it a few minutes ago
[02:04] <jrib> radu: note that you may want to consider using nspluginwrapper instead of using a 32bit firefox.  Ubotu's private message has a link with info about nspluginwrapper
[02:05] <jrib> Soskel: how did you create it?  Also, you may want to pastebin your .vmx file and see if someone can see the issue
[02:06] <sebsebseb> dug_:  yeah I known about stuff like that before,  forgot the name of the Ubuntu one or whatever though.  anyway so Wubi:  it gets installed in Windows like any other program?  and then opended inside WIndows like any other program?
[02:06] <sebsebseb> dug_:  or it edits the Windows boot loader so it can boot up Ubuntu?
[02:07] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb, The latter
[02:07] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb, Though it still installs and removes "like any other program"
[02:07] <sebsebseb> edits the Windows bootloader to boot up Ubuntu ok,  but  the Ubuntu folder can be accessed from inside WIndows,  and files can be put there?
[02:08] <casio_> i can't get a internet-connection with my new installation
[02:08] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb, I believe that it is an image file rather than a folder but yes.
[02:08] <Sos``> casio_ so how come you're here?
[02:08] <Jordan_U> casio_, Wired or wireless?
[02:09] <Jordan_U> Sos``, Many people have more than one computer or dual boot
[02:09] <sebsebseb> and can Wubi access this Ubuntu partition?
[02:09] <sebsebseb> my files on it and what not
 it is a wired connection with a gutsy-amd64-installation on my adsl-router
[02:09] <Sos``> casio_ does the router has dhcp?
[02:09] <igge> anyone knows of a program to join .srt (subtitle) files?
[02:10] <Olgem> when you set up samba shares with gnome in ubuntu without any security, what is the default password to access the shares? guest? anonymous?
[02:10] <Jordan_U> casio_, Gutsy is not "supported" since it's not finished but for bug reporting / fixing try #ubuntu+1
 yes - another maschine works fine with dhcp, but the new installation didn't
[02:11] <Soskel> jrib: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=40
[02:11] <VSpike> can anyone tell me how I can get the device for my newly formatted partition to appear in /dev/disk/by-uuid/
 ok - but i also tried feisty - it is the same thing ...
[02:11] <Frogzoo> VSpike: is the device mounted?
[02:11] <Jordan_U> casio_, Ok, does it connect from the feisty LiveCD?
[02:11] <jin> hi, i just wanted to know if someone had a problem with scsi hdd during trying to run the live cd ...
[02:12] <jrib> Soskel: it says this is a "workstation" config file?  Have you tried using "Super Simple" at easyvmx.com?
[02:12] <VSpike> Frogzoo: nope, I was trying to mount by uuid.. should I mount by /dev/sdb1 first manually?
[02:12] <zaack^> Is it possible to remove the splash screen of ubuntu.. and just open in normal console
[02:12] <sebsebseb> yep
[02:12] <Jordan_U> zaack^, Yes, remove the "splash" kernel parameter
[02:12] <Frogzoo> VSpike: mounting by uuid should work - blkid shows the partition?
[02:12] <jrib> Soskel: oh, it says can be used with player, but try super simple anyway
[02:12] <zaack^> oh, yes, I'll try it brb
[02:13] <sebsebseb> When is Gutsy Beta?
 no - i can install the system and than i get no dhcp-connection - how can i analyze the connection?
[02:13] <VSpike> Frogzoo: no, blkid doesn't show it
[02:13] <larson9999> linux gets better all the time
[02:13] <VSpike> Frogzoo: fdisk -l does
[02:13] <jin> exit
[02:13] <jin> \exit
[02:13] <Jordan_U> casio_, try "sudo ifconfig eth0" then "sudo dhclient eth0"
[02:13] <Frogzoo> VSpike: maybe it doesn't have a uuid?
[02:14] <zaack^> Jordan_U: (just to be sure) You mean in the grub menu.1st file ?
[02:14] <VSpike> Frogzoo: "sudo vol_id /dev/sdb1" shows one though
[02:14] <sebsebseb> larson9999:  indeed,  but  Linux is just a kernel :)  Ubuntu is not Linux.  Fedora Core is not Linux so on.  they are distributions/operating systmes though that use the Linux kernel   :)  :d
[02:14] <Jordan_U> zaack^, Yes, read the comments in the automagic kernel area to make it permanent
[02:14] <larson9999> sebsebseb, errr, who said ununtu=linux?
[02:14] <RickH> I'm getting this error from sudo apt-get:  "E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header"

[02:15] <sebsebseb> no one,  I Just wanted to make it clear :)  for anyone that thought otherwise
[02:15] <Kworth> !sdp
[02:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sdp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:15] <Kworth> what is an sdp server?
[02:15] <zaack^> There's still so much thing I need to learn
[02:15] <Soskel> jrib: when I hit ok, it said: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=42
[02:15] <Frogzoo> VSpike: well mounting by /dev/sdb1 should work
[02:15] <zaack^> I'm reading the rute guide actually
[02:15] <jrib> Soskel: yes, continue...
[02:16] <Soskel> jrib: Virtual device parallel0 will start disconnected.
[02:16] <Jordan_U> zaack^, If there is anything you are not sure of feel free to ask
[02:16] <jrib> Soskel: that's ok
[02:16] <VSpike> Frogzoo: hmm yeah it does
[02:16] <VSpike> Frogzoo: wierd
[02:16] <zaack^> Jordan_U: well, I have just removed splash and I still got the Ubuntu prompt login
[02:16] <Xero> When I use Beryl + XGL I get a white screen of death.
 ifconfig shows no errors but dhclient says "no dhcpoffers received. no working leases in persistant database - sleeping"

[02:17] <Soskel> jrib: http://texticle.net/index.php?show=43
[02:17] <Jordan_U> casio_, And you get DHCP with another OS / Computer?
 yes with os x or feisty on my notebook with eth0 and ath0 (other maschine)
[02:19] <Soskel> jrib: please, I really really want it to work
[02:19] <jrib> Soskel: you need to setup the easyvmx to boot from an iso or from a cd in your drive so you can install an operating system
[02:19] <Thegeektechnique> Ok I have been trying to activate my nvidia 420 go graphics drivers for months. I can easily fix the problem of the blank screen. It is the black bar and screen resolution that is killing me. I have tried editing the EDID file, but I am not good enough for that. would an "IgnoreEDID" option in my xorg.conf work? Will this problem be solved in the next update of xorg?
[02:19] <stefano> what are the fstab commands i should put at the end of a mount so that a normal user, like me can rw files to disk?
[02:19] <Xero> Someone please help.

[02:38] <leleco> somebody can help-me?
[02:38] <Pelo> RickH,  you installed automatix ?  not a good idea ,  comment out lines 54 to the end , save and from the terminal  sudo apt-get update , then try synaptic again
[02:38] <iCloud> It worked fine last night. <.<
[02:38] <RickH> Pelo:  A long time ago.  Then uninstalled it, based on advice from here.
[02:39] <Pelo> leleco, we need a question
[02:39] <iCloud> Are there any ops here? <_<
[02:39] <iCloud> This channel seems rather unmoderated.
[02:39] <Pelo> iCloud,  they are in disquise waiting to pounce
[02:39] <RickH> Pelo:  I just realized it's still installed.  But, I have not used it since I found out not to from here.
[02:39] <RichiH> Pelo: your tab completion is really broken ;)
[02:39] <Vlet> iCloud: moderation is only needed when there is a problem
[02:39] <Pelo> RichiH, sorry,  very close nicks as you can notice
[02:40] <Vlet> We need no hand holding
[02:40] <MoTec> Dangit... Plugging in a USB hub has apparently upset my Ubuntu :(
[02:40] <RichiH> Pelo: yah, no worries
[02:40] <iCloud> Well... Back to windfyre.
[02:40] <Pelo> RickH, like I said , commend out the lines for the automatix repos and then update and try synaptic again
[02:40] <leleco> pelo, I try use beryl functions on my ati video card, and don't have sucess
[02:40] <RickH> Pelo:  Okay.
[02:41] <Pelo> leleco,  you'll need to ask about that in #beryl
[02:41] <earl_> hey
[02:41] <leleco> Pelo sorry
[02:41] <Pelo> leleco,  no need to apologise , those are the ppl that can help you
[02:41] <Zemus> http://pastebin.com/m473e214b <-- does anyone know how to make the other two drivers go away?
[02:42] <earl_> this is my first time with ubuntu after using fedora and redhat for years
[02:42] <Pelo> Zemus,  how did you load those drivers ?
[02:42] <Pelo> earl_,  you'll like it ,  or you won' t
[02:42] <RickH> Pelo:  "E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header"  and  "E: _cache->open() failed, please report."
[02:42] <iCloud> One more thing...
[02:42] <penney> Howdy all!
[02:42] <ubuntu_> Greetings
[02:42] <leleco> Pelo i can't configure my ati video card
[02:43] <iCloud> Is there a way to shut off my pc while running busybox, without damaging my hd?
[02:43] <Pelo> RickH, ok,  I want you to go to the forum and paste that error msg in the search box    www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:43] <earl_> i love it, have beryl running, it is great
[02:43] <RickH> Pelo:  Okay
[02:43] <Pelo> leleco, did you try  menu > system > admin > restricted drivers ?
[02:43] <Zemus> Pelo, I followed the install file to the letter. One moment. I'll pastebin it for you.
[02:43] <penney> I have an Audigy 2 ZS in Ubuntu and everytime I boot I seem to be gambling about which care (integrated or PCI) Ubuntu decides to use...
[02:43] <dug_> Zemus: ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5  ...see beginning of instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092
[02:43] <ubuntu_> This is my first time running Linux - So I was wondering if someone could tell me alittle bit about it.
[02:44] <leleco> Pelo yeap, but don't run the 3d functions of system
[02:44] <Zemus> dug_, thank you, and also, you were gone before, but thank you very much for the advice on how to get make running, it worked like a charm.
[02:44] <Zemus> dug_, you were the only one :P
[02:44] <Pelo> Zemus, no need,  if you can figure out when in that howto you installed those invalid drivers I can possibly help you to remove them
[02:44] <Pelo> leleco, you need to insall xgl or someting like that,  the ppl in #beryl can tell you how to do that,  do you know how to get there ?
[02:45] <Zemus> Zemus, I just typed "ndiswrapper -i driver.inf", where driver.inf is the name of the invalid driver. One moment, I'm going to try what dug_ suggested.
[02:45] <leleco> Pelo ok, I'll see there, thanks
[02:45] <Aorion> i think i may have gotten it down to one library, libartsc.so.0, but google only gives a list of rpms that have it and ubuntu forum posts only mention it incidentally, is there a place to download just that file so i can pu tit in /usr/lib?
[02:45] <penney> I have an Audigy 2 ZS in Ubuntu and everytime I boot I seem to be gambling about which card (integrated or PCI) Ubuntu decides to use...
[02:46] <Zemus> dug_, when I type "ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5.inf" it results in "couldn't delete /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
[02:46] <Pelo> Aorion, do you have a taht in synaptic ?  just serch for libarstsc  no ned fr the so.0 bit
[02:46] <Flannel> Aorion: that's in http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libdevel/libartsc0-dev
[02:46] <dug_> Zemus: sorry, i may have forgotten to mention sudo, see if that makes a difference: sudo ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5
[02:46] <Pelo> Flannel,  to the rescue ,  how convinient
[02:47] <Pelo> Zemus,  try without the .inf
[02:47] <Zemus> dug_, Pelo thanks
[02:47] <Aorion> pelo: i cant use synaptic, the comp is offline
[02:47] <Aorion> and thanks flannel
[02:47] <Zemus> hahaha, dug_ worked perfectly, god you are awesome man.
[02:47] <Pelo> Aorion, you can use synaptic with the install cd ,  just so you know
[02:47] <dug_> Aorion: sudo apt-get install libartsc0-dev
[02:47] <Zemus> :D :D :D
[02:48] <dug_> Aorion: nm, offline means apt-get won't work too :)
[02:48] <ubuntu_> Is it possible to watch videos from Youtube on a linux machine?
[02:48] <ckin2001> ubuntu_, yes
[02:48] <Pelo> ubuntu_,  yes
[02:48] <Pelo> !flash | ubuntu_
[02:48] <ubotu> ubuntu_: 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
[02:48] <Aorion> it cant find that package
[02:48] <dug_> Zemus: don't thank me, thank the guy who wrote that tutorial on the ubuntu forum :)
[02:48] <RickH> Pelo:  Preferences file was populated, but completely commented out.
[02:48] <earl_> hey dawn !!
[02:49] <Pelo> Aorion, flannel gaveyou a link to a deb file , put it on your desktop and dbl click it
[02:49] <RickH> Pelo:  Deleting that file fixed it.
[02:49] <ubuntu_> Thank you.
[02:49] <Zemus> dug_, do you know how to get rid of the last line? I don't see any specific driver name before it says "invalid driver." http://pastebin.com/m452b20f
[02:49] <Pelo> RickH, congrats
[02:49] <RickH> Pelo:  I'm just about this far from throwing my computer out the window....
[02:49] <RickH> Pelo:  The .31 kernel upgrade broke my sound.
[02:49] <Pelo> RickH, why ?
[02:49] <Zemus> RickH, that's linux for you :P
[02:50] <Pelo> RickH, .31 ? are you running gutsy ?
[02:50] <RickH> Pelo:  Reverting to 2.6.20-15.27 and it works.  And I'm betting 2.6.20-16.29 (which I had previously) would also work again.
[02:50] <dug_> Zemus: yeah i don't know about that one, the tutorial suggests uninstalling ndiswrapper-utils too (since you compiled and installed your own): sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils
[02:50] <RickH> Pelo:  Nope.  Feisty.
[02:50] <Zemus> dug_, hum, thanks
[02:50] <RickH> Zemus:  :)  You're oh so very funny... heehhe :)
[02:50] <Pelo> RickH, unless you went and removed the kernels you can still boot them from grub , and set them to be the default
[02:50] <Zemus> dug_, yeah, it's not installed :P
[02:51] <Zemus> RickH, no joke :P I've wanted to chuck this thing out the windows so many times as a result of linux. :P
[02:51] <RickH> Pelo:  The 2.6.20-16.29 I had was overwritten by the update the other day to the .31 kernel.
[02:51] <jrib> 20:37 <          Soskel > I mean for a distro
[02:51] <RickH> Pelo:  Is there some setting which would allow me to keep previous versions like that?
[02:51] <Pelo> RickH,  pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst file please
[02:51] <RickH> Pelo:  working...
[02:52] <christi> is there a way to generate updated Ubuntu CDs/DVDs for installing ubuntu on another computer?
[02:52] <RickH> Pelo:  http://www.pastecode.org/132
[02:53] <Pelo> christi, you can use aptoncd to make a sort of extra install cd that will have the other packages you have installed that are different from the instal cd I think
[02:54] <RickH> Zemus:  I think the thing that bothers me the most is that some problems are so simple to fix, if you know what to do, or you can find the right forum, or you can get an answer here.
[02:54] <Pelo> RickH, from there the only thing I can suggest is for you to boot   .15 ,   ( frankly this is the first time I've seen an extra  digit at the end of a kernel,  I never new about those little increments before)
[02:54] <RickH> Zemus:  But for some of them it's faster to reinstall the OS!
[02:56] <Nighthawk420> ok reinstalled and still had same problem
[02:56] <RickH> Pelo:  Go into synaptic and search for "2.6.20".  You'll see the current version which is installed.
[02:56] <Zemus>  RickH yep :P
[02:56] <dug_> Zemus: search for "bcmwl5" on this page too, it suggests some other things to remove: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683&page=2
[02:56] <RickH> Pelo:  The Aug 31, 2007 update was a kernel update to the .31 from the .29 (or at least that's what I had, whatever everyone else had for 2.6.20-16)
[02:56] <Zemus> dug_, I think I just needed to blacklist it... missed that step on the tutorial you gave me earlier.
[02:56] <Zemus> I'm going to reboot, brb
[02:57] <RickH> Pelo:  Maybe you could help me with the real gripe/error I have.  It's that my sound stopped working with the recent kernel update.  Other people have had this problem too, and we're all reverting to 15.
[02:57] <bluebanana> what version of gimp will be in ubuntu 7.10?

[03:00] <mastroDani> i've burned a dvd with K3B, default options from my debian, when i gave it to my friend if he put in the dvd ubuntu feisty doesn't open it automatically, and if you manually write at terminal: gnome-mount -d /dev/scd0 an error message say: no media in the drive... if i use pmount it mount it like a charm (windows and my debian system work with that dvd normally)
[03:00] <Nighthawk420> but i only get the text interface until after i login and it goes to the blue dialog box in text interface saying that the x server was not properly set up.  restart gdm when it is properly set up.
[03:00] <d4rkmonkey> earl_ I meant to say yes orginally. Common typ.
[03:00] <ubuntu_> Can someone help me install FlashPlayer?

[03:00] <earl_> mr gates told me with a pop up message that my OS was stolen
[03:01] <Nighthawk420> okay il go try that
[03:01] <dug_> earl_: it's called win-get: http://windows-get.sourceforge.net/  but has limitations like no package for active virus shield (since it requires email activation)
[03:01] <d4rkmonkey> ubuntu_ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ?
[03:01] <tom314> Does anyone have any idea's as to why my screen goes blank when booting ubuntu 7.0.4 normally, but if I boot into recovery mode, and then "startx" it works?  I am using the 'ati' drivers
[03:02] <MoTec> Oh crud..  This old PC only has USB 1.1 ports... And I'm putting a USB 2.0 hub into it...  Even tho the hub says it's backwards compatable with 1.1 Ubuntu freaks out.
[03:02] <mastroDani> any idea guys?
[03:02] <earl_> startx, init 5, whats the diff
[03:02] <Nighthawk420> hey tom where can i get those drivers?
[03:02] <Jordan_U> tom314, What if you boot without "splash" ?
[03:02] <mastroDani> did you understand the problem/situation?
[03:03] <dug_> mastroDani: does your friend have a dvd drive or a cd drive?
[03:03] <mastroDani> dug_ dvd drive :)
[03:03] <ubuntu_> d4rkmoney - It doesnt work.
[03:03] <tom314> nighthawk: i just reinstalled ubuntu to get rid of the propatarity driver from ati and followed the instructions on the ubuntu wiki to set up xorg.conf
[03:03] <mastroDani> the same drive open the dvd from windows
[03:03] <dug_> mastroDani: got me then :)
[03:03] <Pelo> mastroDani,  is this a ubuntu installation dvd you burned ?
[03:03] <tom314> jordon_u: how do i boot without splash?
[03:03] <Nighthawk420> thank you
[03:04] <Nighthawk420> im going to go try this
[03:04] <mastroDani> dug_, and the same drive open the dvd from ubuntu if i manually do pmount /dev/scd0
[03:04] <dxdt> sup peeps
[03:04] <tom314> nighthawk: no problem, good luck
[03:04] <mastroDani> Pelo, no it's a dvd with some photo and video of my holidays :)
[03:04] <Jordan_U> tom314, At the grub menu press "e" to edit the first line, then e again to edit the line with "splash" in it and delete the "splash"
[03:04] <earl_> mastro, that really sounds like one of them ID 10t errors
[03:04] <Pelo> mastroDani,  no idea then, sorry
[03:05] <mastroDani> earl_, what's a ID 10t error?
[03:05] <earl_> cross modulation of the laser during the queuing of the buffers
[03:05] <[LUCIAN] > Are there any applications that would allow you to build your own ubuntu iso?
[03:06] <Jordan_U> [LUCIAN] , Yes
[03:06] <mastroDani> earl_, i see.. so it's a driver problem? but... why pmount mount it without thinking twice?
[03:06] <dug_> [LUCIAN] : yeah there's a gui app for remastering ubuntu, i would search google and forums for 'remastering ubuntu cd'
[03:06] <[LUCIAN] > thank you
[03:06] <Pelo> [LUCIAN] , http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
[03:06] <MoTec> 3
[03:06] <[LUCIAN] > thanks Pelo
[03:06] <Jordan_U> [LUCIAN] , Though none is required since it can be done with standard tools
[03:07] <Zemus> urgh, so close
[03:07] <tom314> jordon_u: YES! that worked! Thank You, i have been messing with this all weekend
[03:07] <Zemus> the wifi light blinks on, then turns off and won't come on again. :|
[03:07] <earl_> dang, every time i click something....fire everywhere....
[03:07] <[LUCIAN] > Jordan_U, How would you do it without?
[03:07] <mastroDani> earl_, there's some workaround? or some page that can help me to better understand the problem? if there's no solution (but create a little script to mount / umount the drive manually, wich i already created) at least i would like to understand something more of this problem
