[10:57] <ditch64> ikonia: is it possiable to connect this desktop (running ubuntu) to the laptop and save that way?
[10:57] <greymane> How do you activate a wireless interface on an Ubuntu Server?
[10:57] <wartalker> driver b44 for network load fail, help?
[10:58] <ikonia> ditch64: if you have a network switch/hun, or a cross over cable sure
[10:58] <koops> mgolisch, thanks
[10:58] <ditch64> ikonia: sweet
[10:58] <badstue> Hi. How can i reset the user's home partition each time the pc reboots ?
[10:58] <FrauHansen> Hi, I'm trying to convert a rpm to deb using alien. it gives me an error. can someone have a look and tell me whats wrong? http://pastebin.com/d445bb9ed
[10:58] <chilli0> ikonia: ill look at reboot
[10:58] <shane_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/69951/
[10:59] <ikonia> FrauHansen what are you trying to covnert
[10:59] <gammy> All hail covnert!
[10:59] <FrauHansen> ikonia, its a package for a TSM backup client
[10:59] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: you need sudo to run alien
[11:00] <ditch64> ikonia: how would i go abouts locating the other computer through lan?
[11:00] <FrauHansen> ActionParsnip1, i'm root
[11:00] <ikonia> FrauHansen and there is no "debian/ubuntu" based alternative, as using alien is a bad call in my view
[11:00] <ikonia> ditch64 are you going through a switch or cross-over cable
[11:00] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: oh, ok
[11:00] <ditch64> switch
[11:00] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: did you install alien via repos?
[11:00] <luddite> hi ActionParsnip
[11:00] <ditch64> ikonia: i can do crossover
[11:00] <ActionParsnip1> hi luddite
[11:00] <luddite> You good today
[11:01] <FrauHansen> ikonia, no debs, since it is IBM and debian is not officially supported
[11:01] <chilli0> ikonia: ill look at reboot
[11:01] <chilli0> i dont really get it
[11:01] <FrauHansen> ActionParsnip1, yes sir: apt-get install alien
[11:01] <ikonia> ditch64 give them both an ip on the same network and use scp/ftp/whever you want to move teh data
[11:01] <lesshaste> hi
[11:01] <badstue> hey
[11:02] <lesshaste> I still have this problem where after a firefox crash I can't start firefox again
[11:02] <mgolisch> koops: only annoying thing is that everytime i plug in the power cord it opens evolution, no idea why
[11:02] <mgolisch> :)
[11:02] <lesshaste> I seem to have to restart the computer to fix it, which can't be right
[11:02] <tool> hi
[11:02] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: is there not a debian native alternative?
[11:02] <luddite> i want my ubuntu to hibernate with a progress bar. Is this possible
[11:02] <lesshaste> running it from the command line gives no output
[11:02] <lesshaste> it just doesn't start
[11:02] <raitis> can some bodey tell me the terminal comand to see running programs and processes
[11:02] <koops> mgolisch, hahaha ok... thanks for the info, u have eeepc 1000h right?
[11:02] <ikonia> chilli0 ok - so as ubuntu runs at run level 2, it will go into /etc/rc2.d and run the scripts in the order 01,02,03,04 etc etc so if your script is S26chilli0 it will run it 26th with the parameter "start" so you need to make sure your script that "starts" is in /etc/init.d - linked to /etc/rc2.d and has a function in it called "start"
[11:02] <lesshaste> help!
[11:02] <ikonia> chilli0: does that make sense
[11:02] <raitis> status
[11:02] <FrauHansen> ActionParsnip1, unfortunately not. IBM only supports SLES and red hat
[11:03] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: if theres an RPM is there not source you can compile?
[11:03] <raitis> process

[11:03] <ikonia> aptux delete the partition
[11:03] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: you will need to provide those libraries that alien is moaning about

[11:03] <aptux> ikonia, how to do it?? :)

[11:05] <iGama> raitis, ps -aux
[11:05] <FrauHansen> ActionParsnip1, you mean those *.so files, just to be shure?
[11:06] <badstue> raitis.. what about using "top"
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: yep
[11:06] <yarborea> tool I did try it but it seemed so slow compared to almost every other torrent app I left it for Transmission so I have avery linited knowledge.
[11:06] <FrauHansen> ActionParsnip1, I'll try that. thank you so far
[11:06] <tool> ok
[11:06] <raitis> thnx
[11:06] <tool> was wondering about seeding
[11:06] <mgolisch> koops: yeah have a 1000h
[11:06] <raitis> top?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> iGama: thats the bsd standard, -ef is true standrd. man ps
[11:06] <iGama> badstue, make a backup of the home directory of that user, create a script on boot that will put the copy back
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> tool: what of it
[11:07] <tool> a lot of sites don't recognize it
[11:07] <tool> can't seem to seed properly
[11:07] <badstue> raitis.. yup.. i dont know if you have it installed. but it works fantastic from the console
[11:07] <badstue> just type top
[11:07] <badstue> otherwise just install it
[11:07] <Slart> badstue: or try htop.. for that colour goodness =)
[11:07] <raitis> great
[11:07] <raitis> thnx
[11:07] <ActionParsnip1> tool: so you get no upload data?
[11:07] <raitis> hmmm
[11:07] <badstue> yea.. thats nice too
[11:07] <raitis> how i can kill some procees?
[11:07] <tool> it has peers
[11:07] <south_korea> ** I have installed by "sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal", but don't see no "open-terminal" even i right clicked on nautilus :(
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> ratifers: ps -ef | grep -i <part of name>
[11:08] <tool> and sometimes the upload is sketchy
[11:08] <raitis> kill bla bla bla?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> ratifers: then: kill <pid (leftmost value)>
[11:08] <tool> the connection says ok
[11:08] <badstue> How can i reset the user's home partition each time the pc reboots ?
[11:08] <irini> how i get new fonts?
[11:08] <FrauHansen> ActionParsnip1, funny thing: google searching libgpfs.so got me directly to a "hot-to" TSM ubuntu blog entry
[11:08] <iGama> badstue, make a backup of the home directory of that user, create a script on boot that will put the copy back
[11:08] <tool> but confused about either router setup
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> FrauHansen: nice
[11:08] <tool> or something in the settings
[11:08] <bazhang> !fonts > irini
[11:08] <south_korea> n e help please ?
[11:08] <south_korea> n e help please ?
[11:08] <south_korea> ** I have installed by "sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal", but don't see no "open-terminal" even i right clicked on nautilus :(
[11:08] <FloodBot2> south_korea: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:08] <raitis> hmmm i dont remember the commands :D
[11:09] <Slart> badstue: can't you just make a startup script that copies the home folder from somewhere ?
[11:09] <raitis> didnt use ubunto for 3 years :D
[11:09] <iGama> south_korea, log off and log in again
[11:09] <badstue> but how do i do that ?
[11:09] <raitis> just cant remember :D
[11:09] <tool> hit alt f2
[11:09] <south_korea> FloodBot2 <= human ?
[11:09] <tool> then type in nautilus
[11:09] <ActionParsnip1> ratifers: ps is a NIX standard command
[11:09] <ikonia> south_korea it's a bot
[11:09] <badstue> brb
[11:09] <south_korea> iGama Thank you :) // thank you ikonia :D
[11:09] <ikonia> south_korea you will probably have to restart gnome to get that extra option
[11:09] <OnlyLinuxUbuntu> south_korea: paste few lines again and again floodbot will say you hello :P
[11:09] <yarborea> tool aren't some sites blocking the seeding process at the minute? have you tried using another DNS server like <IP_ADDRESS> to make sure it's not your isp strnagling your connection?
[11:09] <south_korea> :D  bye bye ~
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> tool: i dont personaly use it, i use ktorrent. maybe theres something in config not quite right
[11:10] <south_korea> exit
[11:10] <yarborea> I meant some isps not some sites
[11:10] <irini> where i open synaptic package manager
[11:10] <tool> yeah maybe you are right
[11:10] <jstephan> hi all, the ltsp-manager in 8.04 does not work, the window opens and stays empty, someone know help?
[11:10] <ikonia> irini system-> administration
[11:10] <bazhang> irini, it is in system-->administration
[11:10] <tool> i'm not in america and don't think my isp is blocking anything
[11:11] <Slart> badstue: !boot will give you some info on how to do the "run at startup" thingy.. but there might be better ways of doing it.. hang on.. let me talk to mr google for a second
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> tool: they can and sometimes do
[11:11] <badstue> thank you
[11:11] <tool> even still I'm at a loss as to how to change router settings
[11:11] <yarborea> tool it's not always easy to tell - have you read "beating sandvine"
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> tool: DHT can help as well as encryption
[11:11] <tool> actually haven't tried it
[11:11] <badstue> can you mail me the tip ? I am going for a break..
[11:12] <Slart> badstue: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-600991.html
[11:12] <tool> ok,.. i'm trying to think about the right questions i should be asking
[11:12] <yarborea> ActionParsnip1 which linux app does encryption. I know utorrent does but I couldn't find a linux app that did it?
[11:12] <tool> should i change something with the router first?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> yarborea: ktorrent does it nice
[11:13] <yarborea> tool I would defintely try an open DNS server
[11:13] <tool> encryption is a setting in the software setting
[11:13] <nuance> tool: look for your router on the manufacturers site for configuration options.  Usually, you'll have to set it to uPnP and sometimes explicitly open ports.
[11:13] <yarborea> ActionParsnip1 thanks
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> yarborea: if you are running gnome you will pull down a tonne of kdelibs with it
[11:13] <tool> UPNP is not something azureus likes
[11:14] <ActionParsnip1> yarborea: depends on your stance with bloat
[11:14] <scientes> how can i make my server communicate outside the LAN again?
[11:14] <tool> so i turned it off to see what would happen
[11:14] <scientes> i  installed ebox and it fed everything up so i removed it
[11:14] <tool> no change
[11:14] <scientes> i have my dns set right
[11:14] <mercutio22> Where's the thrash directory located?
[11:14] <Slart> badstue: there is one post by someone called "warbird" with some good links and info.. near the end of the page
[11:14] <ikonia> !trash > mercutio22
[11:14] <raitis> how to set up FTP server on ubuntu?
[11:14] <Slart> !trash
[11:14] <tool> how do you set up your dns
[11:14] <ActionParsnip1> !trash | mercutio22
[11:14] <nuance> Then, it may be the ports that have to be opened.  Look in Azereus for the port number, and open that in the router.
[11:14] <tool> as an example
[11:14] <raitis> ftp
[11:14] <ActionParsnip1> !ftp | raitis
[11:14] <ikonia> tool how I setup dns is nothing to do how you do
[11:15] <tool> yeah did that
[11:15] <ikonia> tool what part do you want to setup
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> !ftpd | raitis
[11:15] <yarborea> ActionParsnip1 yeah it's odd with KDE apps some like kppp work standlalone with the pppconfig system but other like Kmail which I quite like pull too much to be worth the effort :(
[11:15] <tool> thinking
[11:15] <julian_> hey somebody had the same evolution bug like me? on an email receive event i get notification messages that checking for unwanted mails isnt working
[11:15] <mercutio22> ikonia> thanks
[11:15] <raitis> thanx
[11:16] <tool> I'm confused about the difference between dns, dhs, and static ip
[11:16] <nuance> tool, Azereus' site has a wiki entry:  http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/RouterConfiguration
[11:16] <yarborea> tool dns is just the domain server
[11:16] <irini> where is my synaptic package manager?
[11:16] <yarborea> I would defintely change that to <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:16] <Slart> tool: dhs? never heard of that one before.. what is it?
[11:16] <scientes> why woundnt my comp be able to communicat outside the lan
[11:16] <ActionParsnip1> irini: gksudo synaptic
[11:16] <ikonia> tool dns is name->ip mapping - dhcp is getting dynmic (new) ip address whena machine boots, a static ip is when you set an ip for that machine and it never changes
[11:16] <yarborea> I know it doesn't strnagle torrents
[11:16] <amirman> anyone else having issues with sound tonight?
[11:16] <bazhang> irini, we have told you three times
[11:16] <scientes> ?? if i set it to dhcp then it works but i need static ip
[11:16] <tool> yeah dhcp
[11:17] <ikonia> irini: open the system menu, then the applications menu, then you will see it
[11:17] <tool> ok understand
[11:17] <bazhang> irini, it is in system administration
[11:17] <tool> is it better to have dhcp or static ip?
[11:17] <nuance> You usually have to purchase a static ip.  Dynamic is the standard.
[11:17] <ikonia> tool depends on your setup, but this really isn't anything to do with ubuntu support
[11:18] <yarborea> tool some say it's better to have a static IP but it's seems a lot of trouble for very little benefit to me
[11:18] <yarborea> If I was business it would be different
[11:18] <bazhang> !offtopic
[11:18] <Slart> tool: if your computer is connected directly to the internet you'll use dhcp most of the time to get an ip from your internet provider
[11:18] <bazhang> please take random chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:18] <amirman> my sound stopped working correctly tonight, now instead of playing any sound it only crackles. i tried reloading alsa multiple times to no avail, i have no idea what to do, or what caused it
[11:18] <Akro-BaT> need help guys !
[11:19] <ikonia> Akro-BaT: ask a question then
[11:19] <belendax> why in some sites I see lines instead contents? http://tinypic.info/files/7z1f8qe07qzaez5oh6s8.jpg
[11:19] <mercutio22> ikonia> I can't delete some folders from the trash because of permission issues
[11:19] <Akro-BaT> okay i was absent for some days! i let the PC
[11:19] <ikonia> mercutio22 use sudo
[11:19] <Akro-BaT> to my little bro to watch his animes...
[11:19] <ikonia> Akro-BaT cut to the question
[11:19] <Akro-BaT> so when i came back , i didnt find
[11:20] <bazhang> !enter
[11:20] <nuance> amirman, in the "System...Preferences...Sound..." menu, select different sources and test.  See if that corrects it.
[11:20] <Akro-BaT> driver of peripherique
[11:20] <ikonia> Akro-BaT what is the actual question
[11:20] <mercutio22> ikonia> I don't see the files any files in ~/.local/share/Trash/files$
[11:20] <tool_> sometimes some torrents wont connect because the ip address has changed
[11:20] <ikonia> mercutio22 look in /root/.local/share/Trash
[11:20]  * kicco !wireless
[11:20] <ikonia> tool_ this is nothing to do with ubuntu
[11:20] <amirman> nuance, i tired them all, the only thing that makes any sound at all is "automatic" but it just crackles
[11:20] <mercutio22> ikonia> yeah, that must be it. Thanks
[11:21] <Akro-BaT> the application that shows you information abour your soundcard Graphic card
[11:21] <ikonia> Akro-BaT lspci
[11:21] <ikonia> Akro-BaT: that will show you make/model
[11:21] <yarborea> tool_ this kind of stuff is well covered on the afterdawn site - it's interesting to me but it is off topic here
[11:21] <Akro-BaT> i have ubuntu on french, but french guys couldnt help me
[11:21] <nuance> Not insulting intelligence, but when I have problems I re-insert the physical connections and check the wires.
[11:21] <DaveKong> what is the best Ubuntu theme for minimizing eye strain?
[11:21] <tool_> was hoping action was reading it
[11:21] <Akro-BaT> ikonia:  yes that's it !
[11:21] <ikonia> Akro-BaT: what is the actual question/problem
[11:21] <Akro-BaT> i think it was completly uninstalled
[11:21] <ikonia> DaveKong: look on gnome-look.org to find you that works for you
[11:21] <ikonia> Akro-BaT: I don't think it is
[11:21] <amirman> nuance, actually OSS makes a loud beeping sound
[11:22] <Akro-BaT> and i cant get it back
[11:22] <tool_> ok how do i add a irc chat?
[11:22] <ikonia> Akro-BaT what is the problem
[11:22] <amirman> nuance, but how can i figure out and fix whatever is wrong with alsa?
[11:22] <tool_> channel sorry
[11:22] <south_korea> ikonia,  are you an ubuntu user (?) or employee of Ubuntu (?), or just helping people here(?)
[11:22] <Slart> mercutio22: "sudo apt-get install trash-cli" then run "list-trash" in a terminal.. you'll get a list of the files in the trash
[11:22] <ikonia> south_korea not an employee
[11:22] <nuance> amirman, also did you install anything recently.  I've had programs trash out sound configuration.
[11:22] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install xchat tool_
[11:22] <Akro-BaT> ikonia:  that stuff of peripherics driver is uninstalled
[11:22] <Akro-BaT> and i cant get it back
[11:22] <ikonia> Akro-BaT what makes you think that
[11:22] <tool_> yeah i'm running it
[11:22] <ikonia> Akro-BaT explain the PROBLEM
[11:22] <Akro-BaT> coz i dont find it
[11:22] <tool_> but i wanna get to azureus
[11:23] <yarborea> tool_ just go to #azureus
[11:23] <south_korea> ** wondering why all this people answering the question only about Ubuntu
[11:23] <amirman> nuance, only thing i've been working on tonight is getting my svideo out to the tv working, which required me to uninstall and reinstall a bunch of fglrx stuff a few times, and restore some default config files, is it possible that it's something in xorg.conf?
[11:24] <ikonia> south_korea because it's ubuntu support
[11:24] <bazhang> south_korea, this is ubuntu support
[11:24] <mercutio22> Slart> thanks
[11:24] <bazhang> south_korea, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:24] <raitis> !SSL
[11:24] <tool_> what i mean is how do i add it to the network list
[11:24] <nuance> amirman, one other thing.  Right-click the sound icon on the task bar.  And in volume control and preferences make sure the right channel is selected.
[11:24] <raitis> mhhh
[11:24] <raitis> what about
[11:24] <raitis> SSL?
[11:24] <raitis> !SSL
[11:24] <FloodBot2> raitis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:24] <Akro-BaT> ikonia:  okay, i' am not able to find that application, and it's because my little brother had the pc in my absence
[11:24] <Akro-BaT> i guess he dids it
[11:24] <ikonia> Akro-BaT what are you doing to try to access it
[11:25] <aguitel> anyone use scanner EPSON cx5600 under intrepid ?
[11:25] <Akro-BaT> ikonia:  euh nothin i just dont find it
[11:25] <mercutio22> I deleted the root Thrash dir, but the files are still shown in the gui
[11:25] <yarborea> tool_ that depends what irc app you use. I use xchat. If you use something else my advice won't work for you.
[11:25] <Akro-BaT> do you have a way to get it ?
[11:25] <ikonia> Akro-BaT how are you looking for it
[11:25] <Akro-BaT> System>administration
[11:25] <Akro-BaT> and it's not there
[11:25] <ikonia> Akro-BaT it's not in there, it's a non-gui application
[11:26] <amirman> nuance, i think the right channel was selected but either way it makes the crackling sound with any playback channel
[11:26] <south_korea> ** hmm.. im not affordable to support Ubuntu with money things but, if i can, I wanna be a supporter like you guys
[11:26] <tool_> <--- using xchat now
[11:26] <Akro-BaT> ok it' is nowhere
[11:26] <ikonia> Akro-BaT it's in /usr/bin
[11:26] <ikonia> Akro-BaT: open a terminal and type "lspci"
[11:26] <tool_> tried opening network list
[11:26] <tool_> add
[11:27] <Akro-BaT> done ? after
[11:27] <tool_> then filled in the link
[11:27] <tool_> tried connecting but nothing happens
[11:27] <ikonia> Akro-BaT then you've run it, it's there
[11:27] <nuance> amirman, I'm not sure.  Here's a link to troubleshooting:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[11:27] <bazhang> tool_, what channel are you trying to join

[11:39] <carlinhos> how can i set my intel drivers in xorg with intrepid??
[11:39] <yarborea> I use Opera because it has the best standards support but you can add any you want. Many avoid Opera because it uses the closed source Presto engine.
[11:40] <bazhang> carlinhos, check hardware drivers, if they are not there look in synaptic
[11:40] <goldmetal> south_korea, thx. i have to set name first....

[12:00] <Akro-BaT> done or taked ..in english .. ( speak only french )
[12:00] <ikonia> Akro-BaT: use the screen shot tool - set it for 10 secodns then open the menu

[12:09] <bazhang> carlinhos, you can get a generic xorg.conf file from ubuntu wiki then edit in those modelines and see if that does it; it seems that Hal is used now to do most of the vid config these days
[12:09] <raitis> The folder "administrator" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination.
[12:09] <bazhang> carlinhos, but as intrepid as so new some of us are still learning how to do it
[12:09] <ActionParsnip1> raitis: and how are you copying the data? what command?
[12:10] <carlinhos> bazhang: i understand, i'll check for ubuntu wiki

[12:14] <ph8> morning all, do you think Intrepid is ready for me to upgrade? (Probably by wipe+reinstall)
[12:14] <bazhang> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid carlinhos
[12:14] <melams> does anyone know why the ftp client that comes with ubuntu keeps failing on me when i try to connect to a server
[12:15] <bazhang> ph8, try the live cd first
[12:15] <ph8> good call
[12:15] <ph8> bazhang:  Otherwise no major reported problems?
[12:15] <melams> or can someone help me out please, i really need to connect
[12:15] <jrib> ph8: check the release notes
[12:15] <bazhang> ph8, certainly some; just need to check if they apply to you

[12:16] <dshuang> hello, anyone
[12:16] <`r0ot> any one can help
[12:16] <`r0ot> please :(
[12:16] <jrib> `r0ot: ask a question :/
[12:16] <carlinhos> bazhang: on information there for intel... :(
[12:16] <`r0ot> I have error in line 3 in -panel and i can't go to my desktop and only image..., plz how i fix that ?
[12:16] <ph8> bazhang:  Is the best image for me to download the one from cdimage.ubuntu.com - or the one from the website do you reckon?
[12:16] <bazhang> ph8, either one or the torrent will work fine
[12:16] <jrib> `r0ot: where/when do you get the error?  What is the *full* error?
[12:17] <ph8> thx
[12:17] <dshuang> I have a question. Is gnomebaker supporting files larger than 2G?
[12:17] <bazhang> carlinhos, copy the generic xorg.conf and edit with your info
[12:17] <bazhang> carlinhos, best to bookmark that page so when new info is added you can find out first
[12:17] <Akro-BaT> ikonia:  so ?
[12:18] <`r0ot> only error in line:3 and panel will restart and this not work to and c-a-del not work to
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> dshuang:  that would depend on the filesystem of the dvd you are burning.. iso vs udf I think.. or other joilet extensions
[12:18] <jrib> `r0ot: I need you to answer my questions so I can help you.  The error says exactly "error in line:3" and nothing else?  Again, where/when do yo usee this error?
[12:18] <jrib> !who | `r0ot
[12:19] <melams> does anyone know of a good ftp client for linux
[12:19] <jrib> melams: nautilus or gftp
[12:19] <carlinhos> bazhang: but that xorg is for nvidia. if i do changes for intel is ok?
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> Lots of ftp clients out there..
[12:19] <dshuang> but i can not add a large file into the buffer.
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> dshuang:  i tend to use k3b its a bit more useable i find.
[12:20] <Mariner_13> melams: FileZilla
[12:20] <melams> thanks
[12:20] <bazhang> carlinhos, until more info is available yes
[12:20] <carlinhos> bazhang: oks, thanks!
[12:20] <`r0ot> jrib: this error message i got after login and yes only error in line:3. that's all
[12:20] <Mariner_13> melams: take a look at this review: http://linuxreviews.org/software/ftp-clients/
[12:21] <melams> thanks again mariner
[12:21] <jrib> `r0ot: take a screenshot and show me.  Put it on imageshack.us
[12:22] <`r0ot> jrib: this in ,y lab and i can't send the file to this pc :(
[12:22] <jrib> `r0ot: create a new user account and see if it still happens.  you're error message is pretty vague if that's all it says, so it's not helpful
[12:22] <`r0ot> my*
[12:22] <jrib> your, ugh
[12:23] <truszx> Hi there. I would like to make a complaint about the problem with sound not working after resuming from Suspend. The only way to get it working seems to be a manual alsa force-restart every time. Seems to be a very common problem with no definite fix that I can find. Can anyone help?
[12:23] <`r0ot> how i can enable the root from command line ?
[12:23] <jrib> `r0ot: you don't, there's no need
[12:24] <Mariner_13> `r0ot: su - root
[12:24] <jrib> Mariner_13: that won't work on ubuntu by default
[12:24] <bazhang> Mariner_13, dont suggest that here please
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> the proper way to get a root shell is to use 'sudo -s' I belive
[12:24] <`r0ot> I don't know how i make the new user from command line :( !
[12:24] <flexus> `r0ot, do: sudo passwd root
[12:24] <jrib> `r0ot: sudo adduser NEW_USER
[12:24] <Mariner_13> jrib: works for me by default..
[12:24] <jrib> `r0ot: do not do as flexus says
[12:25] <jrib> Mariner_13: I can guarantee you it doesn't
[12:25] <bazhang> !noroot > flexus
[12:25] <flexus> why not?
[12:25] <`r0ot> ok
[12:25] <Mariner_13> bazhang: why not, if i must ask?
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> su dosetn work at all by default under ubuntu from what ive seen
[12:25] <bazhang> !sudo > Mariner_13
[12:25] <Slart> Mariner_13: afaik there isn't a root passwd set.. su asks for a root password.. so it doesn't work
[12:26] <shesek> I have a screen opened (via putty), with some running programs, is there a way to close my ssh client here and get it to keep running ?
[12:26] <jrib> shesek: are you running "gnu screen"?  Or did you mean something else by "screen"?_
[12:26] <Akro-BaT> ok im waiting :d
[12:26] <punzada> !suspend
[12:27] <Slart> shesek: I don't think so.. you might be able to setup something with "screen" but you'll have to login again I think
[12:27] <Mariner_13> password for root can be set in user admin..
[12:27] <punzada> Anyone know where I can get info about reactivating a touchpad after resuming from suspend?
[12:27] <jrib> Mariner_13: you are missing the point
[12:27] <`r0ot> i will get my laptop and try that now
[12:27] <Slart> Mariner_13: but it isn't set by default.. (it isn't recommended either).. so by default su doesn't work
[12:28] <Mariner_13> i get it .-)
[12:29] <punzada> shesek: 'detach' from the screen session by using ctrl+a d, then you can exit the terminal while you're apps still run
[12:30] <mymini> hi, do you know about g++-3.4 in ubuntu-8.10
[12:30] <punzada> (if you're running gnu-screen that is)
[12:30] <mymini> is that removed?
[12:31] <Mariner_13> mymini: afaik g++ is not a part of ubuntu 8.10
[12:31] <Slart> !info g++-4.3
[12:31] <Mariner_13> mymini: run sudo apt-get install g++
[12:31] <mymini> there is just g++-4.3 g++-4.2
[12:31] <jrib> mymini: asked about 3.4
[12:32] <mymini> but some program is not compiled g++-4.x
[12:32] <mymini> so sometimes i need g++-3.x
[12:32] <Slart> the docs are still available
[12:32] <Akro-BaT> cant get back my  hardware driver application :s
[12:33] <Slart> mymini: what happens if you install gcc-3.4-base? you don't get g++ with that?
[12:33] <mymini> yeah
[12:34] <mymini> just only gcc-3.4 is installed
[12:34] <riegersn> vncviewer - how can i get proper resolution, the client is 1366x768, but im getting a square desktop when i remote in

[12:35] <cousin_luigi> how does networkmanager deal with netfilter?
[12:35] <JuJuBee> jrib K thanks.
[12:35] <Mariner_13> JuJuBee: u must tell apache.config to read php files..
[12:36] <jrib> JuJuBee, Mariner_13: if it's installed through the repositories, no configuration files have to be edited manually
[12:36] <Etoss> bazhang, do you?
[12:36] <JuJuBee> I was looking in apache2.conf and did not find that section.  That is what I thought.  I installed via adept.
[12:37] <Developer08> I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 & mingw cross compiler. I like to compile VLC 0.9.6 for windows but my compiler displays me an error: http://pastebin.com/m17c82e86
[12:37] <irini> hi

[12:38] <punzada> Question, how to I enable the guest account? I feel as if it's not enabled as when I go to switch it just brings me back to login to my own username
[12:39] <JuJuBee> Mariner_13 : httpd.conf is empty
[12:39] <Akro-BaT> need help!
[12:39] <jrib> JuJuBee: you don't have to do that...
[12:39] <lorenzo_> hi, how do i remove the package for helix DNA plugin?
[12:39] <`r0ot> jrib: the error is : " the panel has could not register with the bonobo-activation server ( error in line:3 and will exit. it may be automatically restarted. "
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> punzada:  perhaps install gdm-guest-session - gdm extension for guest session
[12:39] <jrib> `r0ot: did you get this with a new user?
[12:40] <e-frame> hi. i found terminal update / upgrades doesn't  include some packages such as kernel upgrade. i have to run the update / upgrade from GUI for that. is it normal ?
[12:40] <`r0ot> nop but i got error for u
[12:40] <jrib> `r0ot: ok, and the new user worked?
[12:40] <`r0ot> i will try now
[12:40] <jrib> e-frame: how did you upgrade in the terminal?
[12:40] <punzada> i'll give that a shot thanks Dr_Willis
[12:40] <`r0ot> how i can got command line now ?
[12:41] <e-frame> punzada: sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:41] <jrib> `r0ot: where are you now?  On a different computer?
[12:41] <punzada> it's already installed :(
[12:41] <`r0ot> yea
[12:41] <jrib> e-frame: use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade
[12:41] <e-frame> sorry punzada, that was for jrib
[12:41] <e-frame> :p
[12:41] <punzada> no prob :)
[12:41] <jrib> `r0ot: ctrl-alt-f1
[12:41] <ironfroggy_> is there a repo i can add to get lighttpd 1.5 on intrepid?
[12:42] <e-frame> jrib, it happen for openoffice-core too
[12:42] <shesek> punzada, thanks a lot
[12:42] <badstue> What is the best partition setting for a normal ubuntu workstation ? Any new guides for that ?
[12:42] <punzada> glad to help.
[12:42] <shesek> punzada, I'm without a mouse for two hours because my computer decided to stop reconizing USBs
[12:42] <punzada> o.O
[12:42] <punzada> lol
[12:43] <shesek> and I couldn't restart because I didnt wanna stop that
[12:43] <badstue> like how much the /usr, /var, /boot and so on should have
[12:43] <Pici> badstue: How much storage do you have to work with total?
[12:43] <shesek> I'm stock using that numpad as a mouse
[12:43] <shesek> well, thanks!
[12:43] <DeLiMaNyAk> SELAM
[12:43] <punzada> hehe glad to help :)
[12:43] <badstue> a 40 gb total
[12:43] <DeLiMaNyAk> hello
[12:43] <DeLiMaNyAk> turkey
[12:43] <FrauHansen> how do i find out if there is the 32 or the 64 bit version of ubuntu installed?
[12:43] <punzada> I keep trying to google why my user account isn't working and all I get is pages talking about how great the new featuer is in Ibex =X
[12:43] <Pici> !tr | DeLiMaNyAk
[12:44] <DeLiMaNyAk> turkce konu015fun
[12:44] <DeLiMaNyAk> bea
[12:44] <badstue> pici: a 40 gb total :)
[12:44] <JuJuBee> OK, read the troubleshooting regarding missing library, installed it restarted apache and still same problem.
[12:44] <levene> how do i sync my mobile phone calendar with my ubuntu desktop machine?
[12:44] <Pici> badstue: 10gb for / the rest for /home  Size differently if you plan on hosting web pages out of /var of course.
[12:44] <subdolus_> How can I make cron run a script at midnight
[12:45] <Spets> FrauHansen: "uname -a" in terminal
[12:45] <levene> subdolus_: you can edit your crontab
[12:45] <levene> subdolus_: crontab -e
[12:45] <`r0ot> jrib: it's work withj new user
[12:45] <badstue> Pici: so i should only have 2 partitions ?
[12:45] <subdolus_> levene: but what do i put in it to make it run t midnight
[12:45] <FrauHansen> Spets,  2.6.22-14-server #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 03:10:53 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[12:45] <FrauHansen> Spets, so what is it? ^
[12:45] <punzada> badstue: 2 for the OS and a swap partition
[12:46] <Pici> badstue: For a desktop system, thats all thats really needed.
[12:46] <levene> subdolus_: subdolus_ i don't remember, but man 5 crontab will tell you the file format
[12:46] <IdleOne> FrauHansen: lsb_release -a
[12:46] <`r0ot> jrib: now how i can fix the old one
[12:46] <subdolus_> at the moment all i can do is make it run every minute, or houir or whatever
[12:46] <subdolus_> not a specific time
[12:46] <Pici> punzada: Er, Somehow I forgot swap.  /me slaps forhead
[12:46] <DeLiMaNyAk> selam
[12:46] <subdolus_> does anyone know?
[12:46] <DeLiMaNyAk> dede0131k
[12:46] <DeLiMaNyAk> k0131mse yokm0131
[12:46] <Pici> DeLiMaNyAk: /join #ubuntu-tr
[12:46] <badstue> Pici: okay.. and thats a optimal setting ?
[12:46] <riegersn> can an application be minimized from the command line ?
[12:46] <badstue> Pici: okay.. i'll try it out
[12:46] <punzada> it's not totally necessary if you don't plan to hibernate, I've ran on a swap file instead of partition for around two years, only with a clean ibex install do i finally use a partition :D
[12:46] <riegersn> like maybe when its launched
[12:46] <levene> subdolus_: run man 5 crontab, and scroll down to the examples
[12:46] <Pici> badstue: Take a 1.5x ram out for swap, or if you have a large amount of ram, do equal to ram.
[12:46] <Sorcererbob> riegersn, when you run it, throw && at the end
[12:47] <levene> subdolus_: it's pretty clear from that, better than I can explain here
[12:47] <subdolus_> i dont need an explanation
[12:47] <FrauHansen> IdleOne, this only says 7.10 gutsy ubuntu ...nothing about the architecture
[12:47] <levene> subdolus_:        5 0 * * *       $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1
[12:47] <subdolus_> i jsut need to know what to put in it.. like where to put the stars
[12:47] <levene> subdolus_: runs a job five minutes pas midnight every day
[12:47] <h3x> what is my root pass? cant remember entering any passwords whike installin system
[12:47] <Sorcererbob> sorry riegersn: only one &
[12:47] <Pici> FreshPrince: x86_64 = 64 bit
[12:47] <levene> subdolus_: change the five to a 0
[12:47] <`r0ot> jrib: ?
[12:47] <Pici> FreshPrince: sorry, mis-tab
[12:47] <Pici> FrauHansen: x86_64 = 64 bit
[12:47] <FreshPrince> np :)
[12:47] <IdleOne> FrauHansen: x86_64 GNU/Linux
[12:47] <subdolus_> levene: lolwut?
[12:47] <riegersn> Sorcererbob, thanks!
[12:48] <badstue> Pici: yup.. So to sum up.. I just need 2 partitions under the installer and a swap ? dont i need to add the other like /usr /var and so on ? or will they be automatically added ?
[12:48] <levene> subdolus_: read the man page, it explains everything
[12:48] <IdleOne> FrauHansen: x86_32 is 32 bit
[12:48] <levene> subdolus_: you clearly do need an explanation :)
[12:48] <FrauHansen> Pici, IdleOne, thank you guys
[12:48] <Pici> badstue: Anything that falls under / (root) will be part of that partition unless you specify, as you are for /home
[12:48] <levene> anyone figured out how to sync a mobile phone calendar?
[12:48] <badstue> Pici: thank you :) i'll do it right away
[12:49] <subdolus_> levene: no, i mean what is it
[12:49] <subdolus_> 5 0 * * *       $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1
[12:49] <jrib> `r0ot: you need to figure out what configuration files are messing up the old one.  Try renaming ~/.gconf/ and ~/.gnome2/ for starters
[12:49] <subdolus_> ?
[12:49] <levene> subdolus_: what do you not understand?
[12:49] <subdolus_> or 0 5 0 * * *       $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1
[12:49] <JuJuBee> jrib : read the troubleshooting and went so far as to purge / install apache2 and php5 again.  Still same problem
[12:49] <levene> subdolus_: put that line in your crontab, changing the 5 to 0
[12:49] <cdavis> would someone suggest something better than sugarcrm for our crm needs. We are a small wireless ISP so we try to make tickets and dispatch out of our CRM system
[12:49] <subdolus_> or 0 0 * * *       $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1
[12:49] <levene> subdolus_: and changing the last bit (from $HOME/...) to the command you want to run
[12:49] <levene> subdolus_: the second one
[12:49] <jrib> JuJuBee: you cleared your browser's cache?
[12:50] <awk> hmm, is there a GUI ssh client for ubuntu ?
[12:50] <jrib> awk: to copy files?
[12:50] <awk> naaa, just add all my clients to a list
[12:50] <subdolus_> levene: the script i want to run is just a wget script.. i dont want it piped anywhere, so why do i need whtever is after the ">>"
[12:50] <awk> not using a scp
[12:50] <levene> subdolus_: you don't, just adapt it to your needs
[12:50] <awk> I want something like putty does to store clients inside... rather than ssh -....
[12:51] <levene> subdolus_: on the other hand, i think you will get emailed (via your local mail system, if it exists) the command output unless you redirect it somewhere
[12:51] <jrib> awk: I like just using ~/.ssh/config though I know it's not what you asked for.  I put settings there, then I just ssh foo<tab>  and it uses all my settings (username, etc)
[12:51] <JuJuBee> jrib : my bad.  That did it.
[12:51] <JuJuBee> Thanks
[12:51] <subdolus_> 0 0 * * *       /usr/bin/download.sh
[12:51] <subdolus_> will that work, levene ?
[12:51] <levene> subdolus_: i guess so. suck it and see
[12:51] <mfoniso> how do I join the ubuntu-translation group?
[12:52] <awk> jrib you right, I can, add keys too I suppose.. thanks.
[12:52] <lilleman> What is the dd process in the newest install of Ubuntu? It's eating lots (several %) of my system resources...
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> lilleman:  you mean the      0:00 /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg
[12:53] <lilleman> yup
[12:53] <riegersn> Sorcererbob, its not launching minimized, still opens on the screen. any ideas?
[12:53] <lilleman> exactly
[12:53] <lilleman> what is it?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> looks like its logging/copying  somthing from one place to another..
[12:53] <lilleman> but constantly, always?
[12:54] <lilleman> Wasnt there in the last version...
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> Its looks lik eits just a pipe from one  location to another..    it dont seem to be taking up any cpu here
[12:55] <gammy> lilleman: I don't know about that stuff but that should be idle most of the time. it uses blocking functions so it shouldn't actuall *do* anything most of the time unless the source is actually being modified.
[12:55] <physadair> hi! i would like to ask a question. is there any hotkey equal to backspace? (ex: ctrl+h == delete)
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> 0% cpu 0% Ram here
[12:55] <yango> has anyone here installed the OOo 3.0 community edition? It's kind of hard
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> physadair:  yes there is.. but i forget what. :)
[12:55] <lilleman> hm. It takes up resources for me. Constant load of ~0.22 when machine is completley idle
[12:56] <gammy> lilleman: does "tail -f /var/run/klogd/kmsg" roll lots of text or is it not changing?
[12:56] <lilleman> At a normal file transfer via SSH it takes up as much CPU as the sshd process
[12:56] <jrib> physadair: are you sure ctrl-h doesn't do what you want?
[12:56] <awk> hmm, anyone have any benchmarks of ubuntu (any version) vs any windows version at that time, would like a say  comparfrom new ubuntu vs xp or vista?
[12:56] <lilleman> gammy: no
[12:56] <Swian> anyone gotten mono 2.0 running on 8.04 or 8.10?
[12:56] <gammy> lilleman: no what?
[12:56] <lilleman> not changing
[12:57] <physadair> jrib, yes, ctrl+h can work. just want to be lazier.
[12:57] <gammy> lilleman: Ok. Then that shouldn't be taking any cputime at all.
[12:57] <JuJuBee> jrib : now an update to mysql-server failed and I cannot run any mysql_connect commands from php files.  How do I force mysql to stop so I can reinstall/update?
[12:57] <lilleman> gammy: 31808 root      20   0  1940  544  448 S  1.3  0.1   0:29.21 dd

[12:57] <jrib> physadair: what do you mean by hotkey equal to backspace then?  Isn't that ctrl-h?
[12:57] <lilleman> when doing absolutley nothing
[12:58] <gammy> lilleman: Obviously it's doing something if it's taking cputime :P
[12:58] <jrib> lilleman: maybe bug 292560
[12:58] <lilleman> haha, true that :)
[12:58] <lilleman> jrib: aah, -checking-
[12:58] <jrib> lilleman: googling the "dd ..." command turns up a few hits, probably a good idea to go through them
[12:59] <physadair> jrib, the hotkey ctrl-h in my pc can only delete letters after the consor.
[12:59] <lilleman> jrib: Did that. But ok... gonna shut down the log system and see if it helps
[12:59] <jrib> physadair: ah, goes back here.  You're in a default terminal and shell setup on ubuntu?
[13:00] <seronis> lilleman have you checked to see if  (i think)  /var/messages   is getting lots of hits ?
[13:00] <gammy>  /var/log/messages
[13:00] <gammy> ..
[13:00] <seronis> ty gammy
[13:00] <lilleman> seronis: checking, thanks
[13:01] <physadair> jrib, no. i use screen, the backspace can not work in screen.
[13:01] <lilleman> holy moly
[13:01] <seronis> lilleman: when i was using 8.04 i was getting almost continuous hits about a power management issue
[13:01] <jrib> physadair: works outside of screen?
[13:01] <lilleman> ./var/log/messages is totally spammed with log messages
[13:02] <seronis> lilleman: im new to ubuntu,  but already found out that  -that-  file will get nailed with anything out of the ordinary by ubuntu's standards
[13:02] <riptide> hi, i need to know if ubuntu auto ships the bcm43xx firmware
[13:02] <seronis> anytime i use a custom key on my compaq keyboard, lots of power saving things,  cpu fan messages
[13:02] <seronis> they all show up there
[13:03] <lilleman> seronis: alright. Thanks. However, I'm not doing anthing, and it seems _all_ that is happening, good or bad, is reported there
[13:03] <physadair> jrib, of course i can work without screen, but multi-terminal is more convenient.
[13:04] <lilleman> It's saying a LOT of these lines: Nov 10 13:51:05 edge kernel: =54722 DPT=22 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0
[13:04] <jrib> physadair: I'm asking so we can debug
[13:04] <Dabbu> how can i connect my nokia phone....?
[13:04] <Pici> lilleman: Those are network related. Probably nothing to worry about.
[13:05] <physadair> jrib, thank you.
[13:05] <lilleman> Pici: Good :) But I need to have it stop logging it, because its taking valuable system resources. And a 3 day old server got 338k big /var/log/messages :S
[13:05] <seronis> Pici: personally if its nothing to worry about id rather them not even be created.   anyway to curb how aggressive logs are ?
[13:06] <lilleman> seronis: Thanks for asking what I actually  needed to know :)
[13:06] <erUSUL> lilleman: well you should fix the root couse (a kernel or configuration bug) and not the symptons (the flooded logs)
[13:06] <JuJuBee> jrib : getting Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/knichel/public_html/ait_10/index.php on line 13
[13:06] <JuJuBee> jrib : I can connect to the mysql db via cli just fine.
[13:07] <lilleman> erUSUL: Well... this is the very basic install of Ubuntu 8.10. And I do not have time to do that. So then I will just reinstall with 8.04 instead
[13:07] <jrib> JuJuBee: installed php5-mysql ?
[13:07] <Pici> lilleman, seronis: Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that, sorry.
[13:07] <Kartagis> hi. i am looking to load mod_log_config but it's not under a2enmod. someone at #apache said you might know the name

[13:14] <Vero2> Good morning everybody
[13:14] <riptide> morning vero2
[13:15] <Vero2> I just came here to see how ubottu works :-P
[13:15] <Vero2> I am from ubuntu-es
[13:15] <riptide> lol
[13:15] <physadair> jrib, i think i know the problem. the file i am editing is read-only, so it prevents me to edit.
[13:15] <riptide> spanish people suck
[13:16] <Vero2> ah, thanks
[13:16] <badstue> Pici: Is it important how the primary and logical settings are set ? Like should i set the / as primary and the rest as logical ?
[13:16] <Ohmu> :)
[13:16] <Vero2> riptide you are very kind
[13:16] <Pici> badstue: I've never changed those settings on my installs, but I think it would make sense to at least make / primary.
[13:16] <awk> hmm, anyone know a way to import say your whole pst from outlook to unix err ubuntu ?
[13:17] <Vero2> riptide if you come to our channel nobody will tell you such thing
[13:17] <Kartagis> i am looking to load mod_log_config but it's not under a2enmod. someone at #apache said you might know the name
[13:17] <SOURdiesel> does a storage drive HAVE to have an unallocated space?
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> badstue:  i tend to use all primaries if i can.
[13:17] <Pici> Vero2: Hes gone.
[13:17] <norbert79> awk: Ever tried Evolution? I did not, but maybe Evolution is capable doing so
[13:17] <Vero2> Pici ok thanks
[13:17] <janaus1> anyone have lvm on raid working with intrepid?
[13:18] <ValentineX> how to download more wallpapers inside of ubuntu?
[13:18] <awk> norbert79 let me google that thanks
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> ValentineX:  gnome-look.org, or try that gnome-art tool - it gets them from there
[13:18] <norbert79> awk: Just a hunch, not guaranteed that it will work
[13:18] <norbert79> awk: But worth trying
[13:18] <Vero2> well bye
[13:18] <badstue> Pici, Dr_Willis: okay.. well. I'll try again. Last install returned me a CD-read error.. zzz
[13:19] <ValentineX> Dr_Willis: do installing themes slows down my ubuntu speed?
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> ValentineX:  installing walllpaper slowing down the system?   Err... not unless you got a C64 :)
[13:19] <badstue> Pici: Btw, what will the root password be ?
[13:19] <chadeldridge> Is there some reason that update-manager does not show the list of changes for package updates?
[13:19] <badstue> on a default installed ubuntu box
[13:19] <Pici> !root | badstue
[13:20] <ValentineX> Dr_Willis: thank you :)
[13:20] <badstue> Pici: hmm.. so there is no root password. But isnt that unsafe ?
[13:20] <tierman> hi
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> badstue:  no - its even safer...
[13:20] <scientes> so i need to use the server kernel to host xen vms?
[13:20] <SOURdiesel> does a storage drive HAVE to have an unallocated space?
[13:20] <tierman> Nop, it does not
[13:21] <chadeldridge> Does anyones update-manager show them the list of changes for updates ?
[13:21] <Pici> badstue: The root account password is locked, there is nothing that you could supply to the password prompt that would let you login as it.
[13:21] <badstue> Pici: how ? So if i want to make a change that needs root access.. i just use the sudo cmd ?
[13:21] <tierman> What do you mean?
[13:21] <Pici> badstue: Take a look at the url that ubottu posted for more info.
[13:21] <seronis> chadeldridge: no mine is empty (updated a half hour ago)
[13:21] <badstue> Pici: yup.. i will
[13:21] <badstue> Pici: thank you once again :)
[13:21] <chadeldridge> seronis: humm .. i thought it used to show
[13:22] <seronis> chadeldridge: it DID.  half an hour ago i had 29 entries for updates.  now its empty
[13:24] <seronis> 2 panels on the update-manager.  top one the list of updates.  bottom one a description.   make sure you dont have the bottom panel collapsed

[13:27] <mncvn> Hi. How can I disable an autorun program in Ubuntu???

[13:33] <seronis> question:  i use Trillian Pro 3.1 for my messenger client via Wine.  After upgrading to 8.10 i noticed that now when i recieve a -new- message window it will always pop up on the current desktop.  is there anyway to prevent this?
[13:33] <mncvn> Sorry, It allway run and I want disable it. Because I don't want it take more RAM when I don't usually use it.
[13:34] <seronis> ie:  i have a window opened with conversations in my 'coworkers' group.    if a new conversation starts it wont just appear in the coworkers window. it will make the entire window switch to the current desktop and then open the new conversation in the window
[13:34] <seronis> i dont want my windows switching desktops automatically
[13:34] <javajeff> can someone recommend good root and home partition sizes?  I am interested in opinions for a 250gb drive.
[13:34] <norbert79> seronis: Use virtual dekstops, that would be a workaround
[13:35] <norbert79> seronis: Use winecfg to set that
[13:35] <norbert79> seronis: For other Wine related applications I would recommend http://appdb.winehq.org
[13:35] <seronis> norbert79: i have 5 desktops.  i keep my message window opened up on my 2nd desktop while i am doing web browsing on the first.   the window already exists and has 2 tabs opened with different conversations going.
[13:36] <norbert79> seronis: Tell the application on stopping taking focus.. You could also use devilspie or gdevilspie
[13:37] <seronis> eh?  whats those
[13:37] <norbert79> seronis: An application on forcing window actions
[13:37] <norbert79> seronis: Like staying always in background

[13:47] <radsouthern> hi
[13:47] <micha674974> hi guys
[13:47] <seronis> norbert79: that says currently installed ram.  not max installable
[13:48] <seronis> (least thats all it said when i just ran it)
[13:48] <KentonS> Good morning. I was directed to this channel by some folks in the #samba channel. Here's my issue: I'm running samba 3.0.26 on Ubuntu 7.10. I have two cifs mounts in fstab to mount shared directories residing on a Windows 2000 machine. Regardless of the order of the commands, the first one fails. Bringing up a terminal window and issuing "mount -a" works. I copied the first mount in fstab, duplicating it as a third cifs mount identical to
[13:48] <norbert79> ghostlines: Hmm, that would be in your motherboard's manual...
[13:48] <Venin> when asked to overwrite a file.. there is no information of whether the file is newer or its size.. why is that?
[13:49] <norbert79> ghostlines: You might still find old documentations online
[13:49] <MnemonicPunk> Good morning or whatever is appropriate for where you all live. Quick question: How would I replace the sound in a .flv file on Ubuntu?
[13:49] <norbert79> ghostlines: I could even find some for some older 486 motherboards
[13:50] <micha674974> i just found a left over Edgy maschine here in the office, which ist still productiv and needs to be updated. As egdy is not a on the mirrors any more the update manager fails. Whats the best way to upgrade the maschine? using the source-list, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade? any ideas?
[13:50] <itai-michaelson> Hi, can i have both the adobe flash and gnash plugin installed ,with adobe disabled most of the time (only enabled when gnash doesn't work)?
[13:50] <Kumo> DVD playback not working.  I've installed xine, all the medibuntu repos, libdvdcss2, etc.  Purged ad reinstalled.  Still no playback on any media players.
[13:50] <norbert79> Kumo: Use totem-xine instead of totem-gstreamer
[13:50] <seronis> norbert79:  n/m    sudo  makes it show all the info.    works perfectly
[13:51] <Stalker72> Are there better web browsers in Linux than Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome?
[13:51] <Kumo> norbert: tried that.
[13:51] <norbert79> seronis: Well done :)
[13:51] <Kumo> Stalker: doubtful.
[13:52] <KentonS> Stalker: FWIW, I use seamonkey and like it much better than Firefox.
[13:52] <Balachmar> How can I reset the network settings to default?
[13:52] <gammy> Stalker72: Better? What's better in ANY os?
[13:52] <norbert79> seronis: You could also use System/Settings/Hardware Info
[13:52] <Stalker72> gammy: Are there web browsers other than Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome which are worth trying?
[13:53] <MnemonicPunk> I could even do this easily on Windows, so there should be some way to do it on Ubuntu, shouldn't it?
[13:53] <gammy> Stalker72: Firefox and Opera are probably the most advanced and stable (graphical) browsers released to date for any operating system.
[13:53] <Kumo> I understand that the restricted codecs aren't officially supported in Ubuntu, but it shouldn't be this difficult to enable DVD playback.
[13:53] <gammy> Stalker72: so my answer would be no.
[13:54] <gammy> Stalker72: unless you'd prefer something more strict like dillo ;)
[13:54] <Kumo> I used to use Opera, switched to FF.
[13:54] <Stalker72> gammy: I'm trying to upload some torrents (legal) to The Pirate Bay but I'm unbable to in Firefox and Opera. Are any other web browsers worth a try in?
[13:54] <cwraig> Stalker72: swiftfox or opera are my choices
[13:54] <vincent_> how do you change your fstab so your webcam works?
[13:54] <beniamino> when i open firefox in intrepid, it fills the screen so that the title bar is off the screen at the top, and i can only see the menu bar. how can i reduce the size of the window without being able to click on the title bar?
[13:54] <gammy> Stalker72: I don't think thats a firefox/opera problem. You're probably doing something wrong.
[13:55] <Kumo> Stalker, you might try Epiphany
[13:55] <LjL> beniamino: alt+space
[13:55] <Stalker72> gammy: I choose the file, a name, category, and I type in the characters
[13:55] <enzotib> beniamino, press F11
[13:55] <grobda24> Stalker ... Konquerer ...KDE
[13:55] <grobda24> Stalker72, ^^
[13:56] <seronis> norbert79: 'Hardware Info' is neither in   system/preferences  or   /system/administration   and    sys/prefs/main menu  only allows me to make  'control center' option visible which itself shows nothing not already in  prefs or admin
[13:56] <gammy> Stalker72: Obviously firefox should work. It's a leading browser. the pirate bay crew uses it themselves.
[13:56] <LjL> now will everyone list a browser until you've listed all browsers on earth? :)
[13:56] <LjL> !browsers
[13:56] <LjL> see also "list every browser" in #ubuntu-bots as that lists more.
[13:56] <norbert79> seronis: Maybe I have just have those installed... I always tune on my System after an install...
[13:56] <norbert79> seronis: Stick to lshw then
[13:56] <gammy> Stalker72: Also, both epiphany and konqueror are based on gecko.
[13:56] <seronis> kk
[13:56] <Stalker72> gammy: What is Gecko?
[13:56] <Stalker72> gammy: A JavaScript engine?
[13:57] <LjL> gammy: konqueror is not based on Gecko at all. KHTML.
[13:57] <gammy> Stalker72: Gecko is the rendering engine used in firefox.
[13:57] <LjL> gammy: no, an HTML rendering engine.
[13:57] <erUSUL> gammy: konqueror use khtml/webkit
[13:57] <gammy> erUSUL: Ah.
[13:57] <gammy> My bad.
[13:57] <Stalker72> How do I get Firefox 3.1 Beta for Ubuntu?
[13:57] <seronis> eventually im gonna burn me a cd to tune my system after a fresh install.  but have to learn what exists first =-)
[13:57] <gammy> Stalker72: You *seriously* need to understand that this is not a browser issue :P.
[13:58] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen??
[13:58] <Stalker72> gammy: It's not an Internet speed issue either...
[13:58] <joaopinto> seronis, sudo apt-get install hardinfo, that will provide the graphical hw info tat norbert79 mentioned
[13:58] <Canvas>  i kno i have to use xlib but i am stucked and progressing no where.....
[13:58] <gammy> Stalker72: I didn't say it was.
[13:58] <norbert79> joaopinto: Thank you for the additional info
[13:58] <seronis> joaopinto: ty
[13:58] <joaopinto> np :)
[13:58] <Stalker72> gammy: I know, but what can it be?
[13:58] <grobda24> Stalker72, look for a development repository for FF and add the UR:S using the Synaptic GUI.
[13:59] <itai-michaelson> how do i install gnash?
[13:59] <yango>        Binary "x" is the repetition operator.  In scalar context or if the left operand is not enclosed in parentheses, it returns a string consisting of the left operand repeated the number of times
[13:59] <beniamino> LjL: thanks, works
[13:59] <yango>        specified by the right operand.  In list context, if the left operand is enclosed in parentheses or is a list formed by "qw/STRING/", it repeats the list.  If the right operand is zero or nega‐
[13:59] <grobda24> Stalker72, URL's*
[13:59] <Stalker72> grobda24: thx
[13:59] <gammy> Stalker72: As I said, you're probably doing something wrong. I don't know what. I have never submitted anything to that tracker.
[13:59] <grobda24> Stalker72, np
[13:59] <cwraig> Stalker72: swiftfox or opera are my choices
[13:59] <KentonS> Can no one answer my previous question regarding mounting shares in fstab?
[13:59] <seronis> ok..  installed it.  looks good.  but the  apt-get  mentioned that   'openssl-blacklist'  is no longer required..  use     apt-get autoremove
[13:59] <gammy> Stalker72: Also what exactly fails? You never described the error, did you?
[14:00] <joaopinto> itai-michaelson, gnash is available from the repositories, just go to the Synaptics package manager
[14:00] <Polysics> btw, anyone has a MX revolution mouse?
[14:00] <tobias> i just rebooted and ubuntu (8.10) no longer recognizes my external monitor
[14:00] <Stalker72> gammy: It says Connection Interrupted.. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.. etc
[14:00] <jrib> Polysics: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[14:00] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen??
[14:00] <Polysics> i don't care about most things i don't use, but not having the 3rd button mapped to the wheel click is annoying
[14:00] <tobias> it turns it on, but it doesn't show the resolutions it used to (the one i need, esp.)
[14:00] <gammy> Stalker72: Alright. Are they having problems on their side?
[14:00] <joel> Hi everyone
[14:00] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen??
[14:00] <seronis> not that i have a reason to NOT believe apt-get....  but my gut tells me that removing a blacklist is a  Bad Idea (tm)
[14:00] <itai-michaelson> joaopinto, do you know if i can install italongside adobe flash?
[14:00] <Stalker72> gammy: Nope..
[14:00] <lorenzo_> hi, i have problems with realplayer. I cant open streaming audio or video, in firefox or in RealPlayer11. I have xine and helix dna plugins. Can anyone help me please?
[14:00] <jrib> Polysics: use revoco (google, you'll need to compile), then just run 'revoco click'
[14:00] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen??
[14:01] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen??
[14:01] <joel> In Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit, my HP Deskjet 5440 worked fine, but I just installed 8.10 64-bit and it has gone bonkers
[14:01] <joaopinto> itai-michaelson, I think they conflict, but I am not sure, I just use adobe's flash
[14:01] <Stalker72> gammy: Can it be the router?
[14:01] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen??
[14:01] <joel> It just prints gibberish
[14:01] <joel> Anyone know about this issue?
[14:01] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visble on the screen??
[14:01] <gammy> Stalker72: It obviously sounds like a connection problem.
[14:01] <itai-michaelson> joaopinto, thanks
[14:01] <Canvas> can i get a image contents which is not visible on the screen??
[14:01] <enzotib> !repeat > Canvas
[14:01] <gammy> Stalker72: Are you sure you're uploading the right kind of file?
[14:02] <Stalker72> gammy: .iso
[14:02] <grizzly_> i am trying to get awesome working, i am using guide in their wiki(intrepid) http://tinyurl.com/56upop i dont see xsession in login manager (step 7), how to make it appear there, did all steps in guide, i am sure i havent missed anything
[14:02] <Stalker72> gammy: I've tried several
[14:02] <gammy> Stalker72: Soo..you don't know what you're doing? :)
[14:02] <grizzly_> anyone have ideo how to make it work
[14:02] <JuJuBee> I have a laptop with ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility.  Is the only way to get multiple desktops working to download and install the drivers from ATI and then use aticonfig... ?
[14:02] <gammy> Stalker72: What kind of file are you actually trying to upload then?
[14:03] <Stalker72> gammy: Linux distributions
[14:03] <The_Soup> why Nautilus crashes every tiem i try to enter a folder with more than 10000 files :/?
[14:03] <erUSUL> JuJuBee: i'm sure you can use the radeon driver to do that too.
[14:03] <Spets> JuJuBee, more than two desktops?
[14:03] <erUSUL> !xinerama | JuJuBee
[14:04] <gammy> Stalker72: you can't uh..submit the actual content. tpb is a tracker. You submit a file containing information about where the content is seeded.
[14:04] <JuJuBee> erUSUL : Dont want a single display.  I had 2 separate desktops with their own settings/kmeu's etc...  Wondered if I could do it without ATI drivers from ATI.
[14:04] <hunter> is anybody having perl's documents?
[14:04] <Stalker72> gammy: Oooooh... xD
[14:04] <Pici> hunter: What do you mean?
[14:04] <hunter> is anybody having perl's documents?
[14:04] <hunter> i want to learn perl
[14:04] <gammy> Stalker72: Surely there has to be a FAQ or something.
[14:04] <joel> Could my problem be with 64-bit Ubuntu?
[14:05] <gammy> hunter: google 'practical perl programming'
[14:05] <Stalker72> gammy: Yeah..
[14:05] <gammy> I have to go, meeting..
[14:05] <gammy> Cheers.
[14:05] <Pici> hunter: Try http://perl.org and #perl
[14:05] <hunter> thx

[14:06] <zakidine_> aie aie , sorry again it's because i'm on the both
[14:08] <rinovan> Stalker72,
[14:08] <Polysics> i am running ubuntu in a wubi install. is there any way to mount the disk it is installed on? i have all my music on that
[14:09] <Mariner_13> omucuvaca: i have used bleder some, liked it alot
[14:09] <Polysics> oddly, i see all other disks but not that
[14:09] <scampbell> you can edit video with blender?  I had no idea.
[14:09] <dr_willis> Polysics,  check 'sudo fdisk -l' and manually mount the filesystem.. is one way..
[14:09] <omucuvaca> http://www.totallyblended.com/NEW_INDEX/tutes/l019/index.htm
[14:10] <Pici> Blender has a channel on freenode, #blender , might be more on-topic there :)
[14:10] <omucuvaca> i heard (from #blender) that it can also be used as a video compositing tool...like after effects :D
[14:10] <Viktoras> hello boys and girls :)
[14:10] <omucuvaca> didn.t tried that yet
[14:11] <Mariner_13> hunter: see private message regarding perl..
[14:12] <alienbrain> Is there a way to use the original cdrecord?
[14:12] <user____> is there a ubuntu Eee pc chat room

[14:12] <fograven> Hey, I'm waiting for may copy of Ibex to show up, is the a way to do a clean install and not lose my applications/software installed...... with out having to download them again?
[14:13] <joaopinto> fograven, clean install = remove existing software
[14:13] <joaopinto> fograven, the other way is just to upgrade using the update-manager
[14:13] <ikonia> fograven the software versions are different so you will need to "lose" them at some level anyway
[14:13] <Stalker72> gammy: How do I install FF 3.1 Beta? I got the .tar.bz2 file.
[14:14] <budz0r> [11875.815870] loop: module loaded is the last thing my kernel log shows before my computer froze last night. i just want to know what happened. can someone help?
[14:14] <ikonia> Stalker72 don't
[14:14] <ikonia> Stalker72: wait for ubuntu to package it
[14:14] <ikonia> Stalker72: adding different versions can make it hard to maintain
[14:14] <Stalker72> ikonia: ok, thx
[14:14] <fograven> can I update from the disc? I have bandwidth restrictions from my ISP
[14:14] <ikonia> fograven sure
[14:15] <fograven> OK cool
[14:15] <Pici> fograven: You can only upgrade from the Alternate CD.
[14:15] <ikonia> Pici oh really, I didn't know that
[14:15] <Polysics> lol, how many strange thing you discover when using a "real" OS
[14:15] <Polysics> i have a 33Gb partition on my disk i have NO idea what it is
[14:16] <fograven> Is a clean install better though?
[14:17] <elvis123> hi, i am having problems with a php include function. Can someonr help or do I have to ask the people at php?
[14:17] <ikonia> elvis123 #php would probably help you better
[14:17] <budz0r> [11875.815870] loop: module loaded is the last thing my kernel log shows before my computer froze last night. i just want to know what happened. can someone help?
[14:17] <dmulholland> hey, how can i change the default application that .gif images launch with out of nautilus?
[14:17] <Mariner_13> fograven: clean install are always better than upgrades.. but the disadvantage is that you loose all your programs etc..
[14:17] <elvis123> thank you
[14:17] <Pici> elvis123: ##php actually.
[14:18] <elvis123> redirect there
[14:18] <ikonia> Pici tank you
[14:18] <ikonia> thanks you even
[14:18] <elvis123> thanks
[14:18] <joaopinto> dmulholland, properties, open with
[14:18] <seronis> can someone explain the difference between a  # and ## channel ?   i've never had to type either when i join a channel..  just the channel name on its own
[14:19] <norbert79> That riddles me too
[14:19] <aaron> what is a good website for Linux news?
[14:19] <ikonia> seronis offical and unofficial is the quick description
[14:19] <SOURdiesel> if i install 7zip, do i also need to install XArchive Manager?
[14:19] <icesword> seronis, like when you type a #, it will search and redirect if it is a ##
[14:19] <dr_willis> SOURdiesel,  z there are command line 7zip tools i belive
[14:19] <dmulholland> thanks joaopinto
[14:19] <norbert79> icesword: So ## is an official channel, where # is more a community based one
[14:19] <Pici> norbert79: other way around.
[14:19] <norbert79> Thx Pici
[14:20] <seronis> icesworde..   i dont type either.   every  irc client i use i type     /join name    and i end up in a # or ## channel
[14:20] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis:  huh?
[14:20] <seronis> ty norbert79
[14:20] <dr_willis> SOURdiesel,  you can use 7zip archives without  any gui tools  -
[14:20] <norbert79> seronis: # official, ##unofficial
[14:20] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis:  ok.  thanks.
[14:21] <icesword> norbert79, gotcha, what does "other way around" mean
[14:21] <Polysics> is there a graphic interface to fstab somewhere?
[14:21] <dr_willis> !fstab
[14:21] <tobias> when i login to ubuntu my mouse is stuck on one monitor but all my toolbars/menus etc. are on the other one!  help!
[14:21] <dr_willis> Polysics,  i think there is.. but i never use it. :)
[14:21] <Polysics> i wonder what is on this 33Gb partition i just found... i can only see a lost+found directory
[14:21] <norbert79> icesword: ehm , when two things match up right the opposite way
[14:22] <dr_willis> Polysics,  sudo fdisk -l, and see what filesystem it is.. and mount it manually perhaps
[14:22] <platius> aaron; http://www.google.com/linux and search for news
[14:22] <Polysics> dr_willis, my fstab-fu is rusty :-)
[14:22] <seronis> Polysics:  also enable viewing hidden files
[14:22] <aaron> platius, thanks
[14:22] <dr_willis> Polysics,  if  it just has lost+found it seems its empty. :)
[14:22] <norbert79> icesword: Like if you would say lemons are red and cheeries are yellow... I would tell to you then: The other way around
[14:22] <Polysics> my question (not to the channel, but in general) is: where did a partition come from?
[14:23] <Polysics> i sure never made it
[14:23] <Quadrescence> Right now I have Xubuntu installed. Is it possible to "change" it to regular gnome-based Ubuntu cleanly without reinstalling? I'm sure the answer is yes. However, the last time I did that changing from Ubuntu->Xubuntu (not this install), not /everything/ changed -- like the boot screen.
[14:23] <Polysics> i shall investigate :-)
[14:23] <norbert79> Polysics: Maybe MBR has been modified, and some invalid info is shown, or encrypted
[14:23] <icesword> norbert79, hehe, gotcha, thanks, me learned another idiom
[14:23] <norbert79> icesword: You are welcome
[14:24] <jobe> whats the root password on the livecd? leaving it blank doesnt work. in case youre wondering, im reinstalling grub bootloader and its asking for it...
[14:24] <norbert79> jobe: There is none... Afaik. Just 'sudo su' and set a password to root using 'passwd'
[14:25] <jobe> norbert79: good tip, thanks
[14:25] <Enissay> How to auto start Firestarter on Hardy?(i tried many solutions with no success)
[14:27] <Akazawa> is there a way to check all files on my hard drive for damage?
[14:27] <norbert79> fsck
[14:27] <joaopinto> Akazawa, you can boot into rescue mode and run fsck
[14:27] <jobe> norbert79: hmm, now it doesnt ask for password any more, and just gives error exit status one
[14:27] <Akazawa> how long should fsck take?
[14:27] <norbert79> Akazawa: Few minutes
[14:27] <norbert79> Akazawa: depends on the size of your Harddisk
[14:28] <joaopinto> Akazawa, and if you believe you have bad blocks, use the badblocks command
[14:28] <Polysics> ok, now i officially feel stupid
[14:28] <norbert79> Akazawa: and the ammount of dsata stored
[14:28] <Polysics> in a wubi install, the whole disk is mounted under /host
[14:28] <norbert79> jobe: What do you try to accomplish?
[14:28] <Polysics> still doesn't explain the extra partition :-)
[14:28] <Akazawa> I did fsck on my ard drive and it said instantly that the system was clean which baffles me because its a 180 gig hard drive
[14:28] <khaotik> i just installed intrepid and my wlan0 is not enabled. my wireless is working but its labeled eth1 and my ethernet is eth0. how can i get it working on wlan0??
[14:28] <norbert79> Akazawa: Clean means 'No errors'
[14:28] <Polysics> what is a good replacement for itunes? i actualyl do use it
[14:28] <joaopinto> akaluzhny, fsck does a structure check, not physical/data check
[14:29] <joaopinto> ops, was for Akazawa
[14:29] <joaopinto> Akazawa, for physical data check you will need to run badblocks
[14:29] <Akazawa> well how do I check the hard drive for errors then?
[14:29] <Akazawa> oh
[14:29] <jobe> norbert79: im getting @selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios@ now when trying to boot. I thought reinstal
[14:29] <Akazawa> how do I do that
[14:29] <jobe> *ling the bootloader would solve it, but i cant do this thanks to this password problem
[14:29] <Dabbu> when i try to open a zip file i get an error............."Error: /home/xxx/Desktop/obexftp-frontend-0.6.1-bin.zip is not supported archive Errors: 1"
[14:29] <Dabbu> any help
[14:29] <joaopinto> Akazawa, badblocks device
[14:29] <khaotik> is there a way i can get my wireless working as it used to be on 8.04??
[14:29] <heinrich> romania ?
[14:30] <Deiselton> damn... i had a question but full reboot fixed the problem... arg :)...
[14:30] <joaopinto> Dabbu, install the "zip" package
[14:30] <ashton_> same wirelessnproblem here
[14:30] <norbert79> jobe: Thats just a bit difficult topic for me right now, have limited time for doing support, maybe others can help you
[14:30] <Dabbu> joaopinto: that is already installed
[14:30] <Akazawa> so "badblocks /dev/sda"
[14:30] <Akazawa> right?
[14:30] <norbert79> jobe: Sorry for that
[14:30] <seronis> khaotik: thats not a problem.  its just your wireless is being used with ethernet.   my system is the same way
[14:30] <joaopinto> Akazawa, I am not sure if you need to use a disk device, or partition device, like sdaN
[14:30] <jobe> norbert79: np, but could you give a yes or no to whether you think that reinstalling bootloader will help?
[14:30] <jobe> (if i succeed in doing that)
[14:31] <khaotik> how can i change it so i can use the iwlist command?
[14:31] <seronis> khaotik: if i boot my laptop up with the livecd it also shows its wireless as  eth1 too,  so its not an 'upgrade' issue
[14:31] <norbert79> jobe: Not sure... My Bios used to also not being able supporting sizes above a limit where GRUB could it handle with no issues... YOu might google this topic first, before doing anything
[14:31] <jobe> norbert79: ok
[14:31] <khaotik> etherape no longer picks up all connections to the router anymore either. it just picks up the connections from my laptop.
[14:32] <wers> what file contains gdm configuration?
[14:32] <Dabbu> anyone to help me open a zip file
[14:33] <jrib> Dabbu: double click on it
[14:33] <hateball> wers♂ I'm just guessing, but /etc/gdm/gdm.conf ?
[14:33] <peterkls> anyone know if the g1 phone works with ubuntu?
[14:33] <khaotik> is there a way to revert this so i can use the iwlist scan command?
[14:33] <Dabbu> jrib: most of zip file opens in same way but not all
[14:33] <Sorcererbob> wers, have you tried the good ol' guess with "locate gdm.conf"? :P
[14:33] <jrib> Dabbu: then you need to be more specific...
[14:33] <marfis> Hi - thankx for your help: I would like to increase no_files to 8192 for all users, soft and hard. I added the two lines to /etc/security/limits.conf and added pam_limits support to various login/ssh and common-sessions... but ulimit -n still shows 1024 as root? Does anyone see what is missing? Thankx a lot for your help...
[14:33] <wers> thanks hateball
[14:33] <Polysics> which video player do you recommend?
[14:33] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis:  7zip doesn't show up in my applications menu after being installed, should it be there?
[14:34] <jobe> anyone: should i use e2fsck or fsck for repairing partitions?
[14:34] <Polysics> i have stuff encoded in basically any codec and his mum
[14:34] <joaopinto> SOURdiesel, 7zip is a command line utility, not a graphical app
[14:34] <SOURdiesel> joaopinto:  ok.
[14:34] <joaopinto> jobe, fsck does not repairt partitions, it repairs fileststems
[14:34] <joaopinto> jobe, for partitions you need to use fdisk/cfdisk/parted
[14:35] <jobe> joaopinto: sof or repairing filesystems should i use that or e2fsck
[14:35] <seronis> SOURdiesel:  after i installed 7zip  it just becomes available as a supported format via the Archive Manager
[14:35] <khaotik> is there a way i can set up etherape to view all computers around me then?
[14:35] <jobe> joaopinto: ok
[14:35] <joaopinto> jobe, you should use fsck
[14:35] <fograven> so how is Ibex?  Better than Heron?
[14:35] <Pyth> fograven: It's cool.  Some things remain to be worked out, as with any release.  But it's quite promising.
[14:35] <seronis> fograven:  merely updating to Ibex and not changing wine itself improved how a lot of things on my system handled
[14:36] <peterkls> im loading up ibex 64 bit as we speak
[14:36] <seronis> fograven: wireless works more reliable with my generic wireless too
[14:36] <fograven> cool
[14:36] <peterkls> Seronis: yeah i hear the wireless kinks are worked out
[14:36] <peterkls> well most of them.
[14:37] <seronis> my wireless card generally required me to do manual dhcp connect,  switch to static and manually enter my IP then switch back to dhcp before i would have internet access
[14:37] <Pyth> The Ubuntu wiki says that the ubuntu-users mailing list is not for general discussion.  Is there a mailing list with that in mind?  I prefer a mailing list over the forums.
[14:37] <seronis> that was in 7.04 thru 8.04..  8.;10  just worked
[14:37] <marfis> Hi: I would like to increase no_files to 8192 for all users, soft and hard. I added the two lines to /etc/security/limits.conf and added pam_limits support login/ssh and common-sessions (in /etc/pam)... but ulimit -n still shows 1024 as root - does anyone see what is missing? Thankx a lot for your help...
[14:37] <SOURdiesel> seronis:  i see.  i tried to extract a rar file and it tells me archive file not supported.
[14:37] <Polysics> which is the "best" music player around?
[14:37] <Polysics> rythmbix?
[14:37] <Polysics> *box
[14:38] <seronis> SOURdiesel: yeah.  i get the same
[14:38] <seronis> SOURdiesel: but it handles 7z's now
[14:38] <SOURdiesel> seronis: si can't use rar files.  ok
[14:38] <SOURdiesel> so
[14:38] <Xaco123> anyone wanna help me out enabling costum effects on compiz?
[14:38] <joaopinto> marfis, that after a reboot ?
[14:38] <seronis> there is probably a rar library to install.
[14:39] <joaopinto> !rar > SOURdiesel
[14:39] <marfis> joaopinto: yes, no change after the reboot...
[14:39] <seronis> !rar > seronis
[14:39] <joaopinto> marfis, have you tried manually changing the limit with ulimit from a regular user ?
[14:39] <SOURdiesel> thanks.
[14:39] <Pyth> I'll be damned.  There doesn't seem to be a general discussion mailing list for Ubuntu.
[14:39] <marfis> joaopinto: manually isn't the point... we need a system wide change on a server...
[14:40] <seronis> woot.   sudo apt-get install unrar-free
[14:40] <joaopinto> marfis, if you can set the limit from a regular user, then it is not a matter of limits, but a matter of defaults
[14:40] <seronis> ty jao
[14:40] <Twinkletoes|W> Is there any way to use yppasswd in such a way that it can be run non-interactively?  Eg. by using expect for instance?
[14:40] <marfis> joaopinto: ok, got your point... this means?
[14:41] <tuta> joaopinto: brazuca mano?!
[14:41] <marfis> joaopinto: by the way, yes I can set it manually with ulimit for the running session
[14:41] <joaopinto> martii, if is just a matter of defaults, you will be able to set it either at the system profile, or at the users profile
[14:41] <jrib> Twinkletoes|W: yppasswd?
[14:41] <Twinkletoes|W> jrib: Yeah - for NIS password changes
[14:41] <marfis> joaopinto: you mean /etc/profile
[14:41] <jrib> Twinkletoes|W: ah
[14:41] <joaopinto> marfis, or /etc/bash.bashrc
[14:41] <Twinkletoes|W> jrib: I could use 'expect' but I'd rather not if there's a cleaner way
[14:42] <marfis> joaopinto: I'll try that, thanks for that...
[14:42] <marfis> joaopinto: is /etc/profile also working for a root process started at boottime?
[14:42] <seronis> one thing i like about ubuntu..  the people in ubuntu channels dont have as large a god complex as those in windows or programming channels
[14:43] <joaopinto> marfis, I believe /etc/profile is always sourced, even for boot scripts
[14:43] <jobe> joaopinto: is running fsck dangerous? I answer yes to most questions as superblocks etc dont mean much to me
[14:43] <marfis> joaopinto: thx again
[14:43] <joaopinto> jobe, running it on a mounted system yes, you are expected to run it using recovery mode
[14:44] <zamba> when logging in, ubuntu asks for my password twice.. why's this?
[14:44] <joaopinto> jobe, boot to recovery and run: fsck -y -A
[14:44] <jobe> joaopinto: the system isnt mounted, but im not in recovery mode
[14:44] <joaopinto> jobe, ah ok
[14:44] <filipe> Good afternoon. Anyone here can help me with a problem with the creation of an ad-hoc with ubuntu and xp?
[14:44] <joaopinto> jobe, fsck is not dangerous, but if your FS is corrupted, you may loose data
[14:44] <jobe> joaopinto: hmm, ok
[14:44] <delineator> Greetings all, could someone give me a quick rundown on what makes ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, and edubuntu all different?
[14:45] <joaopinto> delineator, the set of packages/graphical windows manager
[14:45] <delineator> so edu also denotes the only difference being the window manager?
[14:45] <ikonia> !away > seronis
[14:45] <Polysics> one alst thing, does anyone know where firefox stores bookmarks?
[14:46] <ikonia> !away > Selveste1_away
[14:46] <jobe> joaopinto: im trying to fix this error message from preventing boot: selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios, hence im using fsck, i tried to reinstall bootloader in ibex, but it wont let me exiting with password associated errors
[14:46] <Polysics> the bookmarks.html file i got from the usual place is 6 months old
[14:46] <Polysics> probably it's from ff2
[14:46] <joaopinto> jobe, that is a partition issue, not a file system issue, fsck will not help
[14:46] <easwar> Can someone help with a non-booting box?
[14:46] <easwar> The box doesn't boot if the HDD is given power
[14:47] <jobe> joaopinto: do you think reinstalling the bootloader will fix it?
[14:47] <Lareth> Hello I have a problem getting apache to work with mod_mono. I have installed everything from apt-get and I am trying to run localhost/samples to get the examples installed. I get a 503 instead (Service unavailable)
[14:47] <easwar> if not,I can boot into LiveCD,from where I'm posting
[14:47] <ikonia> easwar: sounds like a hardware error
[14:47] <delineator> edubuntu is just different by its window manager?
[14:47] <tai> Anybody out there good with home networks? I want to share a partition over a router. I am relatively new to Linux.
[14:47] <joaopinto> jobe, don't think so
[14:47] <easwar> ikonia: as in?
[14:47] <jobe> joaopinto: what then?
[14:47] <Pici> !edubuntu | delineator
[14:47] <joaopinto> jobe, I am not familiar with your problem do you have your bios disk setup for LBA ?
[14:47] <jobe> joaopinto: vista fecked up everything on the whole comp, and then refused to even install I passionatly hate it.
[14:48] <jobe> joaopinto: afaik lba is set upn yes
[14:48] <ikonia> easwar if the box won't boot when the harddrive has power, that sounds like a hardware issue, unless your getting a softare error
[14:48] <easwar> ikonia: ok,so what's next?
[14:48] <ikonia> easwar get the hardware fixed
[14:48] <joaopinto> jobe, I would just delete all the partitions and recreate them
[14:48] <easwar> ikonia: Is there no other possibility?
[14:49] <ikonia> easwar there are tons of possibility but that does sound hardware realted
[14:49] <CarlFK> am I missing something - x64 ibex: echo hi foo>x.sh; chmod u+x x.sh; ./x.sh  = malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched; free: called with unallocated block argument
[14:49] <ikonia> related
[14:49] <jobe> joaopinto: but I have several OSs on there
[14:49] <joaopinto> jobe, ok :|
[14:49] <easwar> ikonia: hmm,let's see
[14:49] <easwar> ikonia: thanks for the help anyway
[14:49] <jobe> joaopinto:  testdisk brought back the aprtitions that vista erroneously deleted, but now nothing al al
[14:50] <Polysics> is anyone using ubuntu to serve upnp media?
[14:50] <jobe> *at all will boot giving that error with wrong size of cylinder etc
[14:51] <jobe> joaopinto: ok well thanks for your help anyway :)
[14:51] <hackeron> hey, how do I change a russian localized ubuntu server to an english one? -- I changed the locale in /etc/default/locale - but what do I do next?
[14:51] <joaopinto> np, sorry I couldn't help more :\
[14:52] <ehazlett> can anyone give me a link to customize the default gnome session (i.e. don't start the window manager, etc.)?
[15:00] <ToddE> Anyone had luck with the HP Compaq nc6000's Mirco, Inc. OZ711Mx 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus SD memory card reader?  Searching the forums, I'm not hopeful that I'll get it to work.
[15:00] <PeskyJ> I think I misunderstood the remote desktop thing... I want to be able to connect to my ubuntu computer and run a remote desktop without already having to be logged in on the machine, and in fact someone else might be logged in and using their desktop and I remotely log in and use my desktop at the same time... is that possible?
[15:00] <peterkls> anyone running wow on ubuntu with a ati laptop integrated video?
[15:01] <joaopinto> PeskyJ, that's possible, but I don't have a link for the procedure right now
[15:01] <seronis> Pesky,  search google for  'remote login'  instead of  'remote desktop'
[15:01] <seronis> remote desktop returns VNC style information
[15:01] <Xaco123> anyone know how to force compiz to listen to the compiz settings(don't know what's it's called only got the norwegian name)?
[15:02] <seronis> (which is what im actively using -right now)
[15:02] <filipe> Can anyone help me with a problem with an ad-hoc network?
[15:02] <ashton_> probleme wifi help
[15:03] <KentonS> Howdy. I'm running samba 3.0.26 on Ubuntu 7.10. I have two cifs mounts in fstab to mount shared directories residing on a Windows 2000 machine. Regardless of the order of the commands, the first one fails. Bringing up a terminal window and issuing "mount -a" works. I copied the first mount in fstab, duplicating it as a third cifs mount identical to the first. Now both shares are available when I log in. Any ideas why the first mount fails
[15:05] <po4ka> Hi
[15:05] <PeskyJ> joaopinto: ok, well at least I know it's possible :)
[15:05] <Netcowboy> hello there , I tried tutorials in da forums to get my msn messages thru thunderbird or evolation but I didn't make it :(
[15:06] <joaopinto> PeskyJ, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 <- it's a bit old, not sure it will work on a recent release
[15:07] <zer0o> hi i run hardy heron, is there a way i can install the last gimp version?
[15:07] <Netcowboy> any one can gemme  a hand with  hotmail issue ??

[15:08] <PeskyJ> joaopinto: aha, yes, that looks like the right thing I want :) thanks
[15:09] <PeskyJ> joaopinto: I also found this one which looks similar: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy/RemoteAccess
[15:10] <joaopinto> PeskyJ, be advised that XDMCP is much slower :P
[15:10] <jobe> OK, so this is just bizarre: if I try and boot any of my linux OSs normally, they give grub error 18. But, if i put in a broken livecd for another distro, which fails to be detected as a livecd and then boot the installed grub as normal, then the other OSs boot...????????
[15:10] <seronis> is RemoteAccess or vncserver xdmcp ?
[15:10] <Netcowboy> joaopinto, sorry but can you help me about hotmail issue n?
[15:11] <ANAPLE> a

[15:12] <seronis> i recall reading about grub error 18 in some of the grub install tutorials i read a few weeks ago in reference to hard drive partition sizes
[15:12] <light> who is seronis?
[15:12] <seronis> jobe:  wasnt it you earlier that found a 33gig partition that wasnt expected ?
[15:12] <jobe> seronis: no, I was on here about error 18, but no ghost partitions
[15:12] <seronis> light   /whois seronis    maybe ?
[15:13] <jobe> lol

[15:14] <v4vijayakumar> hi, hibernate is not resetting uptime, is it right behavior? top - 20:43:01 up 4 days, 53 min,  3 users,  load average: 0.98, 3.37, 5.02
[15:14] <NEWK> I just incrementally upgrades from 6.06 LTS to 8.10 and now when I try to log on, my mouse and my keyboard won't work, but I know it's Ubuntu's fault because I can still do ctrl+alt+delete to reboot
[15:14] <NEWK> *upgradeD
[15:15] <south_korea> how do i find game stuff in ubuntu ?
[15:15] <NEWK> What's the deal?
[15:15] <NicEXE> I know I shouldn't launch firefox as root but I can't change the past. What should I do now?
[15:15] <seronis> v4vijayakumar:  hibernate dups your ram contents to HD then restores it on reload..  so yes uptime would be preserved in that
[15:15] <jrib> NicEXE: sudo chown -R $USER: ~/.mozilla/
[15:15] <fosco__> south_korea: use synaptic
[15:15] <south_korea> synaptic, thanks @fosco :)
[15:16] <v4vijayakumar> seronis, interesting :)
[15:16] <NEWK> I just incrementally upgrades from 6.06 LTS to 8.10 and now when I try to log on, my mouse and my keyboard won't work, but I know it's Ubuntu's fault because I can still do ctrl+alt+delete to reboot
[15:16] <NicEXE> jrib: thanx
[15:16] <ikonia> NEWK we just saw you say that
[15:16] <NEWK> I know, but busy channels seem to have selective hearing
[15:16] <ikonia> NEWK only to people who keep asking the same question ever 30 seconds
[15:17] <NEWK> "nope, his issue isn't intellectualyl stimulating enough for me to help him, I'll help this other guy..."
[15:17] <ikonia> NEWK: nothing like that
[15:17] <ikonia> NEWK: is the keyboard wired ?
[15:17] <NEWK> 30 seconds? Nah, I waited until I was sure my first question wouldn't get answered
[15:17] <south_korea> fosco__, this is cool, i saw this but didn't know how to execute :) thanks
[15:17] <NEWK> Yes, the keyboard is wired. how would ctrl+alt+delete work if it wasn;t? :P
[15:17] <KentonS> NEWK: agreed!
[15:17] <ikonia> 15:14 < NEWK> I just incrementally
[15:17] <seronis> newk.  if your first question is STILL VISIBLE ON SCREEN its bad idea to ask again
[15:17] <ikonia> 15:16 < NEWK> I just incrementally
[15:17] <ValentineXX> test
[15:17] <ikonia> M4d3L: 120 seconds
[15:18] <ikonia> oops
[15:18] <fosco__> south_korea: if you like quake like games just sudo apt-get install sauerbraten
[15:18] <ValentineXX> smb.conf how to open this file for edit?
[15:18] <ikonia> NEWK: 120 seconds
[15:18] <seronis> doing so almost gaurentees no one will answer it
[15:18] <jrib> ValentineXX: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[15:18] <NEWK> OK. You've made your point. I sincerely apologize
[15:18] <south_korea> fosco__, :) thanks i'll try
[15:18] <NEWK> how about my problem? :)
[15:18] <ikonia> v: use any text editor
[15:18] <ikonia> NEWK: I asked you about your keyboard
[15:18] <M4d3L> iKonia ?
[15:18] <ikonia> NEWK: typo
[15:18] <ValentineXX> jrib: thanks
[15:18] <ikonia> ughhj
[15:18] <NEWK> I told you., It is plugged in
[15:18] <south_korea> fosco__, how about mame ? i've tried it but couldn't installed it, did'nt work b4
[15:18] <ikonia> M4d3L: typo sorry
[15:18] <NEWK> As I said, ctrl+alt+delete wouldn't work otherwise
[15:18] <Hentay> !sound
[15:18] <fosco__> south_korea: it works great for me
[15:18] <ikonia> NEWK: and the mouse
[15:18] <seronis> ty.    now did you follow the instructions?  in other worse did you upgrade to 8.04 first and make sure all updates there were installed BEFORE upgrading to 8.10
[15:19] <jon_high9000> is ClamAV intended to be used for ubuntu base system (8.10) or is it to be used for ubuntu Server or both?
[15:19] <NEWK> Teh mouse too
[15:19] <fosco__> just spend some time configuring ROM paths
[15:19] <ikonia> NEWK: is there a mouse pointer on screen, or not
[15:19] <NEWK> I know it's not my hardwares fault, because the BIOS listens to the keyboard when I boot
[15:19] <NEWK> this didn't happen before I upgraded to Ibex
[15:19] <ikonia> NEWK: I didn't saw it was your hardwares fault
[15:19] <jrib> NEWK: I hadn't even finished typing my reply and you repeated :)  Check bugs.ubuntu.com for a bug and file one if it's not there.  ctrl-alt-f1 will probably let you get to a tty and troubleshoot.  A workaround may be to revert to your old xorg.conf for input devices (grep 'man xorg.conf' for hal for the appropriate serverflag needed in intrepid).  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X may also be relevant
[15:19] <south_korea> fosco__, hmm.. i really love mame, and i have many rom files which is zipped.. but dont have emulator
[15:19] <ikonia> NEWK: asnwer the questions
[15:19] <seronis> newk:  did you follow the upgrade procedure
[15:20] <NEWK> oh and it's a PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Is that significant
[15:20] <KentonS> I asked a question 10 minutes ago, and no one has responded. What is the customary amount of time before I can ask it again?
[15:20] <seronis> newk:  did you upgrade to 8.04 first.  then ensure that all upgrades were installed for 8.04 BEFORE upgrading to 8.10 ?
[15:20] <ValentineXX> How to restart samba?
[15:20] <jrib> KentonS: 10 or 15 minutes is ok in my book
[15:20] <NEWK> yes, I did
[15:20] <NEWK> I followed the upgrade instructions to the T
[15:20] <jrib> !who | NEWK
[15:20] <seronis> and everthing worked fine in 8.04 ?
[15:21] <fosco__> south_korea: sudo apt-get install xmame-sdl kxmame
[15:21] <ikonia> NEWK: is there a mouse cursour on screen thats not moving, or no mouse cursour at all
[15:21] <NEWK> Yes
[15:21] <ikonia> yes ?
[15:21] <NEWK> I mean yes that it worked fine in 8.04
[15:21] <KentonS> jrib: Thanks. I'll give it another go.
[15:21] <NEWK> There is a mouse cursor
[15:21] <NEWK> but it will not move

[15:21] <south_korea> fosco__, :) ok thanks let me try it first what gonna happen
[15:21] <KentonS> I'm running samba 3.0.26 on Ubuntu 7.10. I have two cifs mounts in fstab to mount shared directories residing on a Windows 2000 machine.

[15:22] <NEWK> crap! the phone's ringing. :(
[15:22] <Netcowboy> Guys any one can tell me bring my hotmail messages to evolotion or Thuder bird ?
[15:22] <ikonia> NEWK: hotmails pop3 service is paid for I believe
[15:22] <jrib> KentonS: oh, I saw that one :)  no idea.  You check for samba bugs on bugs.ubuntu.com?  Anything in any logs?
[15:22] <Netcowboy> how *
[15:22] <ikonia> NEWK: sorry
[15:22] <wos> hey guys my wifi adapter is showing a bunch of networks and is showing which ones are encrypted and which ones aren't but it doesnt show the signal, and I cant connect to ANY of them. could anyone help me out??
[15:22] <ikonia> Netcowboy: hotmails pop3 serviceis paid for I believe
[15:22] <seronis> netcowboy:    the instructions for pop access should be on the hotmail website
[15:22] <NEWK> back
[15:22] <seronis> they are for gmail =-)
[15:23] <ikonia> NEWK: can you do ctrl+alt+F2 to drop to a console ?
[15:23] <KentonS> jrib: I'd love to check a log. I have no idea where to look for the log or which log to look for.
[15:23] <NEWK> Nope
[15:23] <seronis> Netcowboy:   but an alternative would be the  'webmail notify'  extention for firefox
[15:23] <ikonia> NEWK: but ctrl+alt+backspace works
[15:23] <NEWK> let me try
[15:23] <Netcowboy> ikonia, I found some tutorials in ubuntu forums how to get if free but It doesn work for me
[15:23] <wos> hey guys my wifi adapter is showing a bunch of networks and is showing which ones are encrypted and which ones aren't but it doesnt show the signal, and I cant connect to ANY of them. could anyone help me out??
[15:23] <NEWK> No, it does not
[15:23] <south_korea> fosco__, :) holy~ s~ wow~~~~~~ you gave me a great nice wonderful dream :P
[15:23] <seronis> Netcowboy: it makes using webmail almost as convienent as a standalone mail client
[15:24] <NEWK> ctrl+alt+delete reboots it though
[15:24] <ikonia> NEWK: if you hit "caps lock" does the light on your keyboard come on and off

[15:26] <jrib> !resetpanel | taomaster
[15:26] <ikonia> NEWK: out of interest when this worked on 8.04 had you changed anything in the xorg.conf or was it a stock install
[15:26] <fosco__> taomaster: Alt+F2 then type gnome-panel and intro
[15:26] <wos> pretty please
[15:26] <bazhang> wos, are any of these your wifi hotspots?
[15:26] <KentonS> Can anyone tell me where to look for any log file that might let me know about any errors encountered during processing of fstab?
[15:26] <wos> yes bazhang
[15:26] <NEWK> It was originally 6.06 LTS then I upgraded to 8.04 LTS and from tehre to Ibex
[15:27] <v> hi im having problem with eiphony it doest not open but firefox working help me
[15:27] <ikonia> KentonS /var/log/syslog
[15:27] <bazhang> wos, then use the appropriate passphrase to connect to them
[15:27] <KentonS> ikonia: Thanks!
[15:27] <ikonia> NEWK: but it did work in 8.04 yes/no
[15:27] <wos> there is no passphrase
[15:27] <v> hi im having problem with epiphany it doest not open but firefox working help me
[15:27] <wos> bazhang: there is no passphrase
[15:27] <NEWK> yes, I could log in in 8.04
[15:27] <NEWK> actually, come to think of it...
[15:27] <bazhang> wos if they are encrypted then you need the passphrase
[15:27] <NEWK> I don't think I ever tried in 8.04....hhhmmmmm
[15:28] <NEWK> I never logged out
[15:28] <NEWK> No wait, yes I did
[15:28] <NEWK> sorry
[15:28] <FloodBot1> NEWK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:28] <wos> bazhang: they are not encrypted
[15:28] <NEWK> I had to reboot after I upgraded, so false alawrm
[15:28] <jrib> KentonS: /var/log/kern.log as well
[15:28] <NEWK> flood?
[15:28] <NEWK> are you kidding?
[15:28] <ikonia> NEWK: ok so it did work with 8.04,
[15:28] <NEWK> yes
[15:28] <bazhang> wos, then why did you mention many wifi hotspots some are encrypted and some are not
[15:28] <CarlFK> how do I stop X/gdm from starting?  I just want a text login: prompt on boot
[15:28] <Zzeiss> Hi... question: what's the status of an Ubuntu install then auto-upgrade on the new MacBook Unibody?  Works?  Mostly works?
[15:29] <jrib> CarlFK: system -> adiministration -> services -> graphical login
[15:29] <Zzeiss> Reason is I am lusting after one of the Unibodys but won't buy it unless it can run Linux reasonably well.
[15:29] <ikonia> NEWK: my gut feeling for you here is to 1.) boot into the root console from the boot menu, 2.) test your keyboard there outside of X 3.) if it works move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/backup.xorg.conf 4.) restart your machine and lets see what state your in
[15:29] <seronis> NEWK: floodbot doesnt like people using the enter key as punctuation for some reason.  it would rather you just make massively large paragraphs
[15:29] <NEWK> Perhaps I should try a different keyboard and mouse
[15:29] <Zzeiss> The forums don't state whether stuff is now in 8.10 or not.
[15:29] <wos> bazhang: i was wondering if the fact that it can tell which ones are encrypted but it cant tell what the signal is was of any significance
[15:29] <Lareth> Hello when I try to use Apache to serve mono projects I get a 503 service unavailable error. Can someone help?
[15:29] <CarlFK> jrib: any idea what .conf that edits?  or, how can I do that without a mouse?  (what hotkeys hit those menu items)
