[12:01] <sysdoc> _Spire_, url please?
[12:01] <c0de> dli: How do I restart gdm ?
[12:01] <chx> analiser: ?
[12:01] <troy1of2> Well, I tried it in the GUI and it said only root can so how should I do it in the console?
[12:01] <Jowi> c0de: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:01] <_Spire_> sysdoc: just edit your sources.list. do a find and replace and replace all instances of 'us' with 'uk'
[12:01] <Subhuman> troy1of2, to run a gui app as root, do "gksudo applicationame"
[12:01] <_Spire_> sysdoc: or any other 2 letter country code
[12:02] <gatekeeper> sysdoc: just remove us. alternatively I think you might also be able to replace with ca.
[12:02] <raj> troy1of2, make folder in console?
[12:02] <Subhuman> troy1of2, push alt+F2 and type that
[12:02] <raj> mkdir temp
[12:02] <lonn> hi, short question, is there any difference between Xdefaults and Xresources? or is it just 2 possible name for the same file ?
[12:02] <sysdoc> _Spire_, thx
[12:03] <troy1of2> No, I was trying to unmount HDA5 in the GUI but it said I needed to be root so what I was wondering is how I unmount it in the console.

[12:04] <A[D] minS> thx cparker
[12:04] <nycc0de> dli: Hmm ok thank seems to work
[12:04] <troy1of2> Okay, then mount?
[12:04] <raj> mount -a
[12:05] <nycc0de> dli: How do I get aterm and use it as my default term.
[12:05] <dli> nycc0de, Menu: System->Preferrences->Preferred Apps
[12:06] <troy1of2> Doesn't seem to have made a difference. I wonder if rebooting might help?
[12:06] <raj> still cant make it?
[12:06] <skavenge> boy gftp kinda sucks
[12:06] <jjohn> hello all
[12:06] <troy1of2> No, it still lets me in but I can't do anything but read.
[12:06] <tuxtux> !opera
[12:06] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked.
[12:06] <Wanderer> blah
[12:06] <dli> skavenge, try lftp
[12:06] <raj> man that is strange
[12:07] <skavenge> dli: thats cli isnt it?
[12:07] <Coffeegrinds> Verbose: looks like i do have vino installed. I just connected to it via tightvnc on my win machine but right now I'm kinda stuck on a loading screen
[12:07] <wheels3572> ardchoille:  are you available?
[12:07] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Yes
[12:07] <troy1of2> Yeah, now I am flipping back and forth between the console and the GUI. In the GUI I'm simply logged in as the user troy. You know that right? Is that okay?
[12:07] <wheels3572> ardchoille: would you mind helping me pick up where we left off this morning?
[12:07] <raj> yes
[12:08] <Coffeegrinds> Verbose: looks like I'm an idiot
[12:08] <Jowi> troy1of2: if you use that directory while mount -a then the remount will fail
[12:08] <Coffeegrinds> hehe all good
[12:08] <Qwell> Is there a sparc specific ubuntu channel?
[12:09] <_Spire_> Qwell: this is the ubuntu channel
[12:09] <wheels3572> ardchoille: if you recall I was making a link to a partition ?
[12:09] <_Spire_> Qwell: oops
[12:09] <Qwell> _Spire_: yeah, I get that. :)
[12:09] <troy1of2> Okay, right now in the GUI logged in as user it's showing me the volume, with 9.8 gig free, showing it as /home/troy/shared/ and it lets me in to read but when I right click to create a folder that option is greyed out.
[12:09] <_Spire_> Qwell: I didn't see the Sparc
[12:09] <SonicvanaJr> Is us.archive.ubuntu.com down for anyone else ?
[12:09] <_Spire_> !sparc
[12:09] <magi> yes
[12:09] <ubotu> Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[12:09] <ardchoille> wheels3572: No problem. Wanna pm me?
[12:09] <magi> its down
[12:09] <Qwell> ooo, excellent
[12:09] <c0de> dli: Cant find aterm in ubuntu's db
[12:10] <Jowi> troy1of2: close that window, remount with "sudo mount -a", switch back and try again.
[12:10] <troy1of2>  Now, when I right click it and look at the properties it shows owner as Unknown and permissions set to 444
[12:10] <ardchoille> !info aterm
[12:10] <ubotu> aterm: Afterstep XVT - a VT102 emulator for the X window system. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-1 (dapper), package size 77 kB, installed size 224 kB
[12:10] <_Spire_> Qwell: I don't think so
[12:10] <Jowi> troy1of2: ...or reboot, whichever is more simple for you :)
[12:10] <ardchoille> c0de: aterm is in universe, enable universe, do a sudo apt-get update, then try searching
[12:10] <Qwell> _Spire_: yeah, doesn't look like it..  which is why I had hoped there was a sparc ubuntu channel
[12:11] <goatmale> Hello everyone
[12:11] <troy1of2> Jowi, tried that, comes back the same story.
[12:11] <Qwell> I guess I'll just try it, and see if I can not blow it up ;)
[12:11] <dli> c0de, easysource
[12:11] <_Spire_> Qwell: I think there's a ubuntu-sparc forum on ubuntuforums, though
[12:11] <c0de> ardchoille: How do I enable universe ?
[12:11] <c0de> Oh
[12:11] <_Spire_> !universe
[12:11] <Qwell> _Spire_: I'm not too into forums
[12:11] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:11] <scott__> is us.archive.ubuntu.org  down for any one else?
[12:11] <_Spire_> Qwell: sorry :(
[12:12] <Qwell> _Spire_: it's all good - thanks
[12:12] <ardchoille> !repos > c0de
[12:12] <cpk2> scott__: yes
[12:12] <magi> us.archive.ubuntu.org seems to be down
[12:12] <scott__> dang.
[12:12] <Jowi> troy1of2: you can try this: umount the mountpoint. *remove* the directory (make sure you have unmounted the directory first or all your files will be deleted), then mount it again.
[12:12] <ardchoille> magi: Yeah
[12:12] <jjohn> I am having probs with my dvd playback any one can help me??
[12:12] <cpk2> scott__: delete the us. from wherever it is listed in your sources.list file
[12:12] <raj> troy1of2,  do this
[12:12] <scott__> heh
[12:12] <Jowi> troy1of2: you might have created the mountpoint as root already, that's why
[12:12] <_Spire_> jjohn: what's your problem?
[12:13] <cpk2> scott__: if you want to still apt-get things
[12:13] <ardchoille> jjohn: IS the video "jumpy"?
[12:13] <raj> anyways i got to go
[12:13] <_Spire_> jjohn: or will it just not play?
[12:13] <c0de> dli: Whats the site you sent me to update my source.list ?
[12:13] <raj> catch u all later
[12:13] <raj> ty gatekeeper ,
[12:13] <troy1of2> Jowi, you know, I think you might be right.
[12:13] <raj> troy1of2,  good luck
[12:14] <jjohn> spire The players are seeing the dvd as txt files and the drive goes into a continuous loop
[12:14] <troy1of2> Raj? What was you going to say do?
[12:14] <scott__> anyone know if whoever-gets-poked-when-us.archive.ubuntu.com has been poked?
[12:14] <_Spire_> c0de: you could try source-o-matic
[12:14] <raj> troy1of2,  also try changing user properties
[12:14] <ardchoille> !easysource c0de
[12:14] <Rossino> i am having problems initializing live cd... PCI: Error while updating region... does anyone know whats wrong please??

[12:14] <wheels3572> ardchoille: This link can't be used, because its target "/media/backup/backup files" doesn't exist.
[12:14] <troy1of2> Okay, but how do I change user properties. Remember, newbie here.
[12:14] <_Spire_> scott__: yup
[12:14] <c0de> Haha thanks
[12:14] <bobovski> hi all
[12:14] <_Spire_> scott__: it seems so, at least
[12:14] <bobovski> is there a way to run scandisk or something like that on a widows partition from inside ubuntu?
[12:15] <gatekeeper> raj: don't know what I did but yw :-)
[12:15] <raj> troy1of2,  see system tab?
[12:15] <troy1of2> Raj, yup.
[12:15] <mcgrof> anyone know the difference between compiz-gnome and compiz-gnome-vanilla ? I figured compiz-gnome has more stuff.
[12:15] <oneeyedelf1> what is a good feedreader, that integrates nicely with firefox for ubuntu?
[12:15] <raj> clik system
[12:15] <ardchoille> wheels3572: You can't *create* the link until the drive is mounted first.
[12:15] <raj> then admin.
[12:15] <gatekeeper> raj: troy1of2 you winning?
[12:15] <raj> then users
[12:15] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:15] <raj> raj is going down
[12:15] <raj> heh
[12:15] <mcgrof> 18:07 < raj> then users
[12:15] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:16] <c0de> dli: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components doesn't tell me how to enable it. It only explains what its about..
[12:16] <wheels3572> ardchoille: drive is mounted (automounted)
[12:16] <jjohn> I did all the plugins and added libdvdcss
[12:16] <goatmale> is us.archive.ubuntu.com still down?
[12:16] <raj> anyways god bless all and take care
[12:16] <troy1of2> gatekeeper, so far not so good.
[12:16] <_Spire_> scott__: it's weird. the server for us.archive responds to pings, so it's not totally down
[12:16] <raj> cya guys
[12:16] <wheels3572> !Xfce4 > wheels3572
[12:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about Xfce4  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:16] <ardchoille> wheels3572: You sure you have the correct path in the ln command? Sounds like it's mounted to one place and you're trying to link from a diff place.
[12:17] <cpk2> yes us.archive is down if you want to apt-get things remove us. from your entries in sources.list
[12:17] <wheels3572> !xfce4 > wheels3572
[12:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about xfce4  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:17] <scott__> Spire: ach, i gtg
[12:17] <goatmale> Is us.archive.ubuntu.com still down?
[12:17] <scott__> someone else's problem
[12:17] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:17] <scott__> yep
[12:17] <ardchoille> !xfce > wheels3572
[12:17] <wheels3572> would a copy of my fstab file help?
[12:17] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Sure, pastebin it and I'll look.
[12:17] <gdb> Someone really should add the notification about us.archive.ubuntu.com to the /topic/
[12:17] <Emilia-> What do i need to have in my: /etc/dchroot.conf
[12:17] <gdb> And perhaps some ETA information.
[12:17] <wheels3572> ardchoille: thanks for the Help on Xubuntu :)
[12:18] <Jerr> er, is there a way to change xubuntu's environment (from XFCE to, say, fluxbox)
[12:18] <goatmale> gdb: do you know or how long it will be down?
[12:18] <Jerr> assuming I already have fluxbox
[12:18] <ardchoille> wheels3572: I don't remember helping you with xubuntu.. but, then again, I'm an old man :)
[12:18] <gdb> goatmale: I have no idea whatsoever.
[12:18] <cpk2> goatmale: you know you can still apt-get things right?
[12:18] <jjohn> spire can you help me?
[12:18] <LjL> Jerr: i think just select Fluxbox from the Session menu of your login screen
[12:18] <goatmale> I can't.
[12:18] <Subhuman> Jerr, yes, just install flyxbox
[12:19] <ardchoille> Emilia-: You don't need to repeat your question every few seconds.
[12:19] <cpk2> goatmale: did you read what i said?
[12:19] <Subhuman> Jerr, its "sudo apt-get install fluxbox"
[12:19] <c0de> ardchoille: How do I enable universe. The site you gave me only told me what its about..
[12:19] <goatmale> I did sudo apt-get insta;; amarok
[12:19] <goatmale> install**
[12:19] <wheels3572> ardchoille: you just did by giving me the correct info from ubotu :) lol
[12:19] <Subhuman> Jerr, youll want to install "fbconf" too.
[12:19] <cpk2> (15:17:03) cpk2: yes us.archive is down if you want to apt-get things remove us. from your entries in sources.list
[12:19] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Ahh, cool :)
[12:20] <wheels3572> ardchoille: that's EXACTLY what I was looking for was how to install xubuntu lol
[12:20] <goatmale> what's the command to do that cpk2?
[12:20] <wheels3572> now brb getting copy of fstab
[12:20] <Rossino> i am having problems while initializing ubuntu live cd... PCI: Error while updating region... does anyone know whats wrong here, please??
[12:20] <Broadcast_> Hey
[12:20] <Broadcast_> What can i do with ubuntu
[12:20] <Broadcast_> something fun
[12:20] <ardchoille> c0de: There is a link on the page I sent you about "Managing repositories in Ubuntu"
[12:21] <cpk2> goatmale: the easiest would probably be to do "sudo kate /ext/apt/sources.list
[12:21] <cpk2> "
[12:21] <gatekeeper> troy1of2: is it mounting ok?
[12:21] <cpk2> i mean etc
[12:21] <troy1of2> Hey Jowi, gatekeeper, please tell raj thanks for helping as well as you guys.
[12:21] <cpk2> not etx
[12:21] <cpk2> its in /etc/apt/
[12:21] <Jowi> troy1of2: you got it sorted?
[12:21] <goatmale> thanks
[12:21] <Subhuman> Broadcast_, probably better asking in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[12:21] <c0de> ardchoille: You sent me this link: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[12:21] <gatekeeper> troy1of2: will when I see him
[12:21] <element`ubuntu> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? -- where would this be?
[12:22] <piwi> I am having a problem with win32codecs....... Image in wmv msk and divx is awful, like if contrast and luminosity have been set to a very low value. How to change that? It is like this isnce I installed the lib..?
[12:22] <troy1of2> Believe it or not, I rebooted and all is well now. I am guessing all those changes we made in fstab did the trick but something else was getting in the way and after I rebooted it started working fine.
[12:22] <ardchoille> c0de: That's source-o-matic.. sorry, I must have spaced it
[12:22] <ardchoille> !universe > c0de
[12:22] <Jowi> troy1of2: very good :)
[12:22] <Bazzi> element`ubuntu: just press enter
[12:22] <troy1of2> Anyway, I gotta run but thanks so much for the help. Take care!
[12:22] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, it says it doesn't exist...
[12:22] <gatekeeper> troy1of2: Jowi excellent :-)
[12:23] <ardchoille> c0de: I also sent you the !repos link ;)
[12:23] <piwi> !win32
[12:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about win32 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:23] <bobovski> is there a way to check a windows formatted partition for errors while in ubuntu?
[12:23] <wheels3572> ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18656
[12:23] <Bazzi> element`ubuntu: so you didnt install the required packages, which are linux-kernel-headers linux-source build-essential
[12:23] <sharms> !w32codecs
[12:23] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats

[12:24] <Jowi> bobovski: what type of windows partition? fat32 or ntfs?
[12:24] <Broadcast_> Hey
[12:24] <Broadcast_> where can i get
[12:24] <Broadcast_> get XGL/Compiz
[12:24] <Broadcast_> XGL/Compiz
[12:24] <piwi> I am having a problem with win32codecs....... Image in wmv msk and divx is awful, like if contrast and luminosity have been set to a very low value. How to change that? It is like this isnce I installed the lib..?
[12:25] <bobovski> jowi: ntfs
[12:25] <ardchoille> wheels3572: ln -s /media/backup/backups /home/<username>/Desktop/Backups isn't working for you? Is there a "backups" directory in /media/backup?
[12:25] <bobovski> jowi: running xp
[12:25] <jjohn> If I change my repositories to somewhere other than the US are they likely to be less restricted?
[12:25] <Jowi> bobovski: there is a fsck.vfat for fat32. no idea if there is a ntfs one :-/
[12:25] <wheels3572> ardchoille: Yes directory name is actually called Backup Files (with a space and those 2 caps)
[12:26] <bobovski> jowi: I was resizing my ntfs partition and there was an error. now I can't access the partition at all
[12:26] <c0de> ardchoille: Ok thanks I got it :)
[12:26] <ardchoille> wheels3572: ln -s /media/backup/Backup\ Files /home/<username>/Desktop/Backups  See if that works.
[12:26] <ardchoille> c0de: You're welcome :)
[12:26] <Jowi> bobovski: sorry, can't help. never touched an ntfs partition in my life
[12:27] <c0de> Now I'm just gunna read up on fvwm and how to fix it up the way I like
[12:27] <Jowi> !info ntfstools
[12:27] <ubotu> ntfstools: transitional package to install ntfsprogs. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.12.1-1 (dapper), package size 27 kB, installed size 56 kB
[12:27] <wheels3572> ardchoille: is this from sudo command or do I not need to be?
[12:27] <Jowi> bobovski: might be something in that package
[12:27] <technel> I have a cable connection and for some reason occasionally I have to restart the connection. In Windows, I just go to the connect, right click, and select "Repair" to attempt to re-establish the lost connection and reset the IP. Is there any equiv in ubuntu or do you have to restart?
[12:27] <goatmale> yo cpk2 it was etc/apt
[12:27] <ardchoille> wheels3572: you don't need sudo if you're creating the link in your user dir
[12:28] <wheels3572> ok
[12:28] <bobovski> jowi: let me see if I have a disk utility available to use as an ntfs program
[12:28] <syndicate47> does anyone know how to get kdialog installed?
[12:28] <piwi> technel: you can try to deactivate and reactivate it but there must be a more convenient way
[12:28] <Jowi> technel: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[12:28] <Subhuman> bobovski, if you want to edit ntfs partitons (like size etc) use gparted or ntfsprogs
[12:29] <cpk2> goatmale: /etc/apt/
[12:29] <ardchoille> syndicate47: I thought that came with kde
[12:29] <varsendaggr> how do i play wm9?
[12:29] <piwi> Jowi: init.d contains what can be reinit in the system?
[12:29] <bobovski> subhuman: do either of those have disk error-corretion programs?
[12:29] <varsendaggr> with mplayer
[12:29] <Jowi> varsendaggr: only in windows. wmv 9 not supported
[12:29] <c0de> ardchoille: How do I make sure I'm using aterm ?
[12:29] <cpk2> technel: ifdown and then ifup?
[12:29] <ardchoille> varsendaggr: wm9 is not supported atm
[12:29] <varsendaggr> Jowi, i dont like you
[12:29] <Subhuman> bobovski, im not sure, it's journalled so why would it get errors?
[12:29] <Jowi> varsendaggr: :)
[12:29] <piwi> I am having a problem with win32codecs....... Image in wmv msk and divx is awful, like if contrast and luminosity have been set to a very low value. How to change that? It is like this isnce I installed the lib..?
[12:29] <syndicate47> thanks ardchoille. do i have to install the whole KDE or is there a way to figure out in which package it is?
[12:29] <varsendaggr> ardchoille, you either
[12:30] <c0de> ardchoille: I set aterm as my preferred term. Should I restart X?
[12:30] <wheels3572> ardchoille: ty that worked now next question will that stay there on every reboot AND question 2 do I still need the HD automounted as well?
[12:30] <ardchoille> c0de: When you open aterm, you'll know it.. it's very different from gnome-terminal
[12:30] <Jowi> varsendaggr: it's the microsoft DRM that is sort of in the way
[12:30] <bobovski> subhuman: I'm sorry, I don't understand what journalled means?
[12:30] <technel> Jowi, Thanks
[12:30] <c0de> ardchoille: I set it as my default term, but I dont see aterm as a option from the gnome menu
[12:30] <SanityInAnarchy> Some things not working on my Powerbook:  trackpad, wireless, and any form of suspend/sleep/hibernate
[12:30] <Broadcast_> what is kde
[12:31] <Jowi> !kde
[12:31] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[12:31] <analiser> how i unload one module
[12:31] <ardchoille> syndicate47: I don't remember, sorry, maybe the folks in #kde ?
[12:31] <Subhuman> bobovski, basically their is no need to check an ntfs drive for errors, if the partition is corrupted or something you can use "testdisk" (sudo apt-get install testdisk) to recover the data.
[12:31] <gatekeeper> Broadcast_: window manager bit like windows
[12:31] <bobovski> oh, great let me try that
[12:31] <goatmale> cpk2: I deleted the wrong one
[12:31] <piwi> please help if I cant play videos properly in ubuntu I will have to revert to windows xp... And nobody wants that isnt it?
[12:31] <goatmale> which one was bad?
[12:31] <ardchoille> wheels3572: the link will stay, but you need to have the hd mounted in order to use it
[12:31] <Broadcast_> is it large to download
[12:31] <Jowi> Broadcast_: have a loog at http://kde.org
[12:31] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: syndicate47 what package?
[12:31] <Jowi> s/loog/look
[12:31] <goatmale> piwi did you install video codecs?
[12:31] <syndicate47> ardchoille: thanks, i'll try there
[12:32] <ardchoille> c0de: You might have to launch it from a gnome-terminal and you might have to create a menu item for it in alacarte
[12:32] <wheels3572> ardchoille: ok so I do have to still have the drive mounted ok ty :) greatly appreciated and btw it does work :)
[12:32] <SanityInAnarchy> ok, in that order -- anyone want to help me with my touchpad?
[12:32] <bobovski> er, shit. except us.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[12:32] <wheels3572> ardchoille: thanks for all your help this morning and now
[12:32] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: syndicate47 is looking for kdialog
[12:32] <c0de> ardchoille: Scratch that, I figured it out. lol last question - how do I get windows to remember its demensions and position ?
[12:32] <piwi> goatmale: yes I did win32 codecs but when I play divx msk or wmv streaming the picture is like if I changed luminosity and contrast to a very low level although I didnt change anything
[12:32] <bobovski> how do I choose an alternate?
[12:32] <gnomefreak> bobovski: take the us. out of it
[12:32] <ompaul> !language
[12:32] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:32] <bobovski> sorry
[12:32] <piwi> goatmale: in the other hand plain mpeg plays properly
[12:32] <SanityInAnarchy> bobovski:  I'm not sure, I've got archive.ubuntu.com working for now
[12:33] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Good job. I love symlinks :)
[12:33] <ardchoille> wheels3572: You're welcome :)
[12:33] <SanityInAnarchy> I can sometimes get it working by using two fingers, but it's fairly random
[12:33] <wheels3572> ardchoille: I am loving it too lol as I hate to click to many times on the mouse when I KNOW it can be done in less time and less clicks lol
[12:33] <piwi> whois piwi
[12:33] <ompaul> bobovski, you can do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the letters "us." from the list or wait a while for it to come back when you are finished you need to run "sudo apt-get update" then you can continue as normal
[12:33] <Broadcast_> how can i change the visual style of linux
[12:34] <ardchoille> c0de: I believe that is controlled by the window manager. in gnome, the window manager is Metacity. You could try searching in gconf-editor but I don't think there are options for all apps.
[12:34] <varun> how do I upgrade my kenel? I want 2.6.17......what package name would I use?
[12:34] <c0de> ardchoille: Oh ok. Thanks a lot man
[12:34] <goatmale> can some one pastebin me there sources.list? it would really help me out..
[12:34] <Broadcast_> ?
[12:34] <piwi> varun: I dont understand, why using an old kernel while 2.6.26 is out?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> varun: you cant upgrade to that kernel without building it
[12:35] <SanityInAnarchy> piwi:  um, what?  no it isn't
[12:35] <cpk2> bobovski: you can still apt-get with the us.archive down, simply delete us. from all your entries that have it in /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:35] <ompaul> Broadcast_, you can customise the window you have, you can use other window managers
[12:35] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, I updated my system with those installs, but the /usr/src/linux/include directory still isn't there....
[12:35] <SanityInAnarchy> piwi:  you might be thinking of 2.6.15, ubuntu rev 26
[12:35] <ardchoille> c0de: Open a term and type  gnome-terminal --geometry 115x40  the --gometry option is useful for some apps, but others don't recognise it. You;ll just have to play with it and see.
[12:35] <varun> piwi: lol....I didn't know that........how would I upgrade to that?
[12:35] <piwi> SanityInAnarchy: my mistake its 2.6.15-26 actually
[12:35] <Bazzi> element`ubuntu: should be
[12:35] <KBlair> Hi, is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com down? I can't get any packages from it.
[12:35] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, should, but it's not....
[12:35] <ompaul> Broadcast_, what are you currently running
[12:35] <piwi> varun: sorry my mistake :D
[12:35] <goatmale> cpk2 how do you revert it once it is back up?
[12:35] <Broadcast_> ubuntu
[12:36] <varun> piwi: no worries :-)
[12:36] <SanityInAnarchy> KBlair:  yes, it is.  Use archive.ubuntu.com till it comes back up.
[12:36] <bobovski> Man, now I'm getting this problem:
[12:36] <bobovski> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[12:36] <bobovski>   testdisk: Depends: libntfs8 (>= 1.12.1) but it is not installable
[12:36] <bobovski> E: Broken packages
[12:36] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, I installed those 3 things you said, 2 of which I think already had installed...but updated.
[12:36] <KBlair> Ok, thanks.
[12:36] <Bazzi> well you obviously didn't install them all properly then :/
[12:36] <cpk2> goatmale: just put the us. back in or you can use source-o-matic
[12:36] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, I did apt-get install <those 3 pax>
[12:36] <piwi> goatmale: any ideas?
[12:36] <cpk2> !sourceomatic
[12:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about sourceomatic - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:36] <gnomefreak> bobovski: sudo apt-get -f install    <<type htat alone
[12:36] <varun> gnomefreak: so I need to download the package, untar is and then compile it, right? I just don't know where to download it from? kernel.org?
[12:36] <element`ubuntu> Bazzi, not sure how I can go wrong there....
[12:36] <cpk2> !source-o-matic
[12:36] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:36] <gatekeeper> goatmale: gives you some idea of what mine look like: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[12:36] <Broadcast_> ?
[12:36] <gnomefreak> varun: yes
[12:36] <bobovski> gnomefreak: ok, then what?
[12:36] <gnomefreak> bobovski: did it fix it?
[12:37] <bobovski> let me see
[12:37] <varun> gnomefreak: so there is nothing special about the ubuntu kernel? I thought they might hack it or something
[12:37] <bobovski> gnomefreak: nope
[12:37] <gnomefreak> varun: nothing speical with it
[12:37] <gnomefreak> bobovski: did it say it upgraded or installed or removed packages?
[12:38] <varun> gnomefreak: SanityInAnarchy was talking about an Ubuntu Rev?
[12:38] <Subhuman> bobovski, do you have all repos enavled?
[12:38] <ompaul> cpk2, there is now an alias for sourceomatic which points to the same place
[12:38] <gnomefreak> varun: what about it?
[12:38] <bobovski> gnomefreak: it said none removed, installd and 1 not upgraded
[12:38] <varun> gnomefreak: how is that different from the kernel.org version?
[12:38] <goatmale> awesome everything works now, thanks.
[12:39] <bobovski> gnomefreak: so, I guess I already have testdisk
[12:39] <gnomefreak> varun: how is 2.6.17 differnet from 2.6.17?
[12:39] <bobovski> now, I just have to figure out where it is
[12:39] <gnomefreak> bobovski: apt-cache policy testdisk
[12:39] <cpk2> bobovski: locate testdisk?
[12:39] <Jowi> 'night all
[12:39] <gnomefreak> bobovski: does it say its installed?
[12:39] <varun> gnomefreak: how is 2.6.17 different from 2.6.17 Ubuntu Rev 26
[12:39] <bobovski> nope, no testdisk here
[12:39] <Broadcast_> does anyone know a free toll number for linux help
[12:39] <gnomefreak> varun: you have to build it
[12:40] <crimsun> varun: there is no '2.6.17 Ubuntu Rev 26'
[12:40] <gnomefreak> varun: there is no 2.6.17 for dapper unless you build it
[12:40] <siennalizard> Broadcast_: you're dreaming ain't ya?
[12:40] <ompaul> Broadcast_, heh, pay me and I will run one ;-)
[12:40] <Broadcast_> lol
[12:40] <Broadcast_> :D
[12:40] <varsendaggr> you know what would  be cool:   to beable to easily change a folder to be the desktop
[12:40] <varun> gnomefreak: ahhhh ok.....I follow......sorry
[12:40] <varsendaggr> is there a way to do that
[12:40] <bobovski> ok, so I can't install testdisk...is there a comparable app?
[12:41] <siennalizard> !mv > varsendaggr
[12:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about mv  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:41] <cpk2> bobovski: why not?
[12:41] <siennalizard> !mv > siennalizard
[12:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about mv  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:41] <ardchoille> How do I disable the MENU key (the key next to the right Ctrl key)?
[12:41] <Steph14> How do I know which to install?  Ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu or xubuntu ?
[12:41] <gnomefreak> bobovski: apt-cache policy testdisk? did it show what repo its in?
[12:41] <ubuntu__> hello, what is make error 1? what does it mean?
[12:41] <bobovski> cpk2: well, I'm getting it from packages.debian now...maybe that will work
[12:41] <gatekeeper> Broadcast_: I thought this was the free toll number for ubuntu lol
[12:41] <ardchoille> Steph14: Depends on which desktop environment you want to use.
[12:42] <bobovski> apt-cache policy testdisk
[12:42] <bobovski> testdisk:
[12:42] <bobovski>   Installed: (none)
[12:42] <bobovski>   Candidate: 6.1-1
[12:42] <bobovski>   Version table:
[12:42] <bobovski>      6.1-1 0
[12:42] <bobovski>         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe Packages
[12:42] <Steph14> I'd like to be able to switch between Gnome and KDE
[12:42] <gnomefreak> bobovski: enable universe repo and dont paste in here
[12:42] <ubuntu__> !make
[12:42] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:42] <ardchoille> Steph14: You can install using the Alternate CD, then install kubuntu-desktop. That will give you both the gnoem and kde desktops.
[12:43] <Broadcast_> lol
[12:44] <bobovski> gnomefreak: sorry for the paste...didn't know it was disallowed.
[12:44] <gatekeeper> Steph14: Install Ubuntu then install the kde desktop
[12:44] <ompaul> bobovski, do not page in this channel, please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org thank you
[12:44] <goatmale> what sites do I remove from sorces.list to get aptget to work correctly
[12:44] <ompaul> night gatekeeper
[12:44] <chx> whee! i compiled a Breezy driver on my Dapper desktop -- and much to my amazement it even works.
[12:44] <spartas> goatmale, just remove the us. before the address
[12:45] <goatmale> I did
[12:45] <chx> works on my Breezy laptop, that is
[12:45] <gatekeeper> night ompaul :-)
[12:45] <spartas> goatmale, apt-get update before doing anything else
[12:45] <Broadcast_> damn, linux is so boring man
[12:45] <Steph14> Is there a particual desktop thats standard now, or is it all a matter of choice?
[12:45] <Broadcast_> whats there to do on it
[12:45] <ompaul> I have a little daemonised service I want to run, that is not the issue but I need it to start on boot and I need other services to be sure to start before it any ideas
[12:45] <enyc> Steph14: well 'gnome' is the default so-to-speak
[12:46] <enyc> Steph14: kde / xfce are alternative base-install desktop-choices
[12:46] <goatmale> 99% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[12:46] <Mattchewie> I seem to be having issue connecting to us.archive
[12:46] <goatmale> it's down. but I took it off the sources.list
[12:46] <bobovski> thanks for the help all
[12:46] <goatmale> but it is still notworking
[12:46] <enyc> Mattchewie: yes there is a problem with the Argonne National Laboratory (us) mirror
[12:47] <enyc> Mattchewie: use arnother mirror ;-)
[12:47] <rubem> hi there
[12:47] <spartas> goatmale, it shouldn't be trying to connect to us.archive anymore (make sure you removed us. from everything)
[12:47] <goatmale> yes I did.
[12:47] <spartas> k
[12:47] <rubem> where can i set my envoirnement variables?
[12:47] <Mattchewie> enyc: thanks for the info!
[12:47] <enyc> goatmale: did you 'sudo apt-get update' too
[12:47] <enyc> goatmale: ?
[12:47] <goatmale> yup
[12:48] <Steph14> So if I use the Alternate CD install, I can install Gnome as default and add KDE later?
[12:48] <goatmale> I will postbin it
[12:48] <enyc> goatmale: did that cgive errors when apt-get update'ing ?
[12:48] <ardchoille> Steph14: yes
[12:48] <enyc> goatmale: excellent
[12:48] <enyc> goatmale: put sources.list on there too ;-)
[12:48] <goatmale> never mind
[12:48] <rubem> where can i set the CLASSPATH envoirnment variable?
[12:48] <cpk2> goatmale: your sources.list should look something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18657
[12:48] <Steph14> Is the install non-distructive?
[12:49] <gnomefreak> ebmaybe because you are using us.archive.com?
[12:49] <ardchoille> Steph14: I have one box which has Ubuntu, KUbuntu and XUbuntu
[12:49] <goatmale> It didn't work when i updated, but it worked when I did sudo apt-get install program
[12:49] <spartas> i think goatmale forgot to remove (at least one) us.archive
[12:49] <enyc> Steph14: erm iirc you acn install 'kubuntu-desktop' packago no trouble
[12:49] <ardchoille> Steph14: It can be, you have to make those decisions uring the install
[12:49] <enyc> Steph14: you can always 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' again but I dont think you will remove that at all
[12:49] <cpk2> goatmale: you always need to sudo when you use apt-get...
[12:50] <goatmale> I ctrl Fed it and it didn't find any US
[12:50] <GreySim> If I'm filing a bug about the floppy formatting dialog, would that be Nautilus, or a separate program? I haven't used floppies in 3+ years before today, and I remember it used to be a separate program, and it looks like it could be still, so I'm just double checking. :)
[12:50] <spartas> apt-get really should be aliased to sudo apt-get
[12:50] <goatmale> I know I always do sudo.
[12:50] <enyc> GreySim: im not sure... i just use the fdformat command ;-)
[12:50] <Steph14> Right now I'm dual booting win xp and Suse 10.1, but I need a basic linux I can use on computer I am going to be donating
[12:50] <gnomefreak> spartas: than make it an alias
[12:51] <enyc> Steph14: Ubuntu sounds good
[12:51] <spartas> gnomefreak, been aliased for a while (i meant on new installs off the cd)
[12:51] <ardchoille> spartas: You can alias that in your ~/.bashrc
[12:51] <gnomefreak> spartas: why when you can open synaoptic and it runs it for you
[12:51] <billfur> is there a way to make gnome not take huge gobs of memory?
[12:51] <GreySim> Oh, bug already filed anyway. Nevermind.
[12:52] <gnomefreak> same with cron and update-manager
[12:52] <Qwell> billfur: Don't run it :)
[12:52] <Steph14> Does it have NTFS read ability?
[12:52] <gnomefreak> Steph14: yes
[12:52] <GreySim> Apparently it is a separate program though, gfloppy.
[12:52] <gnomefreak> Steph14: read only
[12:52] <Qwell> billfur: or, alternatively, use a WM besides metacity
[12:52] <rubem> anyone know where can i set my envoirnement variables?
[12:52] <phaedrus44> billfur:  yeah use fluxbox
[12:52] <Qwell> and if you want to reduce RAM usage while using gnome...don't run KDE apps
[12:52] <spartas> gnomefreak, true, at least when you have a graphics system available, but in that scenario you have update-manager to alert you automatically
[12:52] <Steph14> Does it come with an MP3 decoder built in (I can't get Suse to play Mp3's)
[12:53] <Qwell> if you run a KDE app in Gnome, it has to have the Gnome libs AND KDE libs loaded
[12:53] <SanityInAnarchy> still no one to help me with my Powerbook?  I guess I'll try Gentoo next, someone has to have this right...
[12:53] <JDStone> how do I confirm if Samba has LDAPsam support?
[12:53] <Qwell> SanityInAnarchy: I bet mac osx would run well on it
[12:53] <ardchoille> billfur: You can run a window manager other than Metacity in gnome. I dislike Metacity and wrote a tutorial about how to switch WM's in gnome
[12:53] <JDStone> MAC OS X blows
[12:53] <billfur> Qwell, sure, but right now between gnome and kde libs/gui its reporting over 300 meg.
[12:53] <JDStone> SanityInAnarchy, what do you need?
[12:53] <Qwell> billfur: yes.  only run one
[12:53] <billfur> That seems excessive, even for all that stuff
[12:53] <SanityInAnarchy> OS X runs beautifully, but the lack of a package manager is starting to make me feel...  well, this is a family friendly channel
[12:53] <JDStone> I've gotten Ubuntu to run on my mac
[12:53] <ardchoille> billfur: If you're interested in switching Metacity to another WM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Replace_Metacity_with_Openbox_in_gnome
[12:54] <pepsi> Steph14, you just need to install gstreamer-mad or whatever it is exactly
[12:54] <darknessofevil> btw has anyone here had good success with the ntfs-3g driver?
[12:54] <SanityInAnarchy> JDStone:  following things don't work:  touchpad, wireless, suspend/sleep/hibernate
[12:54] <J-_> what filesystem can be used for both Linux and Windows with large capacity reading.. I have a 300gb hdd.
[12:54] <JDStone> really?
[12:54] <ardchoille> I am using the openbox window manager in gnome now:  http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/359/mygnomecp1.png
[12:54] <JDStone> SanityInAnarchy, it all worked for me out of the box
[12:54] <ubuntu__> http://pastebin.ca/96509
[12:54] <ubuntu__> anyone able to help ?
[12:54] <Steph14> I'm downlading the Alternate CD iso at the moment
[12:54] <transgress> okay i have a usb headset, and everytime i boot up with it plugged in it becomes the default sound card... can i switch which card is default w/o rebooting?
[12:54] <JDStone> How do I confirm if Samba is compiled wtih ldapsam support?
[12:54] <asparagui> i'm trying to resize a disk to install ubuntu,  but i'm getting all sorts of errors with the ntfs parition...anybody know of way to fix the drive shy of reinstalling everything?
[12:54] <SanityInAnarchy> JDStone:  Powerbook G4, 17", bought it last year...
[12:54] <JDStone> same here, but I havea  15"
[12:54] <crimsun> transgress: System> Preferences> Sound> Set default sound card
[12:55] <JDStone> well, I bought mine about 2 years ago
[12:55] <Mattchewie> Steph14: on the ubuntu wiki they give the process for installing the appropriate packages to get dvd playback and mp3 support
[12:55] <tuxtux> good night
[12:55] <Steph14> I take it wine runs fine as well
[12:55] <pepsi> Steph14, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[12:55] <SanityInAnarchy> JDStone:  that might make a difference.  I know it detects the touchpad as 17" specifically, and I know it's an "Airport Extreme" (bcm4306, fsck-ing Broadcom)
[12:55] <square1> hi everyone
[12:55] <spartas> J, you could use (read and write) to FAT32 on both OSs, but you'll need separate partitions for running linux on the machine
[12:56] <asparagui> doesn't 2.16.17 support the broadcom?
[12:56] <patrick_king> i have downloaded ubuntu dapper right burnd too disc, once the boot bit loads i select live and install. the problem it does install
[12:56] <unstablesob> !wpa
[12:56] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[12:56] <J-_> spartas: it'll only give me 32gb per partition? i have an external hdd i need to format
[12:57] <square1> can anyone explain what are the differences between Power Manager and Battery Charge Monitor? And what is better for a laptop use?
[12:57] <unstablesob> i've managed to get my Airport Extreme working with WEP, now just need to get WPA working
[12:57] <square1> unstablesob: install network manager
[12:57] <asparagui> J-_:  that's just the windows paritioner, use the linux one and it will let you see the whole drive.
[12:57] <unstablesob> I'm using knetworkmanager atm, just doesn't seem to want to connect with WPA
[12:57] <pepsi> spartas, find something to use ext3 in windows
[12:57] <square1> it works fine ere
[12:57] <square1> * here
[12:58] <piwi> goatmale: yes I did win32 codecs but when I play divx msk or wmv streaming the picture is like if I changed luminosity and contrast to a very low level although I didnt change anything
[12:58] <piwi> goatmale: yes I did win32 codecs but when I play divx msk or wmv streaming the picture is like if I changed luminosity and contrast to a very low level although I didnt change anything
[12:58] <J-_> asparagui: okay, cool. thanks.
[12:58] <patrick_king> i dont know what to do
[12:58] <raskolnikov> how do you move a file to another computer from the command line when you're ssh'd into it?
[12:58] <skavenge> piwi: using the totem plugin?
[12:58] <Qwell> raskolnikov: You can use scp
[12:58] <asparagui> J-_: np. ;-)
[12:59] <piwi> skavenge: using w32codecs and any player
[12:59] <raskolnikov> well i mean how do i get back to browsing the computer i'm on files
[12:59] <raskolnikov> my command line says @blackbox which is the computer i want to send the file to
[12:59] <billfur> also, does the installer right now support (well) ntfs resizing?
[12:59] <spartas> raskolnikov, you can either 'exit' or you can ssh over ssh back to the original machine
[12:59] <skavenge> piwi: have you tried turning down the brightness in totem? i find i have to do that on a fresh install as everything looks 'washed out'
[12:59] <darknessofevil> yea im mainly interested in the ntfs-3g driver doing deletes/creating files, etc
[01:00] <darknessofevil> not just reading it like i currently have
[01:00] <raskolnikov> but what does the command look like to copy the file to the other computer?
[01:00] <CookieMonstah> HEY why wont scrot take image from my mplayer?
[01:00] <skavenge> piwi: this makes a difference in streams as well since totem is used within the browser to play the movie
[01:00] <profoX`> CookieMonstah: blue image?
[01:00] <raskolnikov> ssh scp j@blackbox file  j@lhost directory?

[01:18] <wheels3572> Broadcast_: are you using VIM?
[01:18] <Broadcast_> cant i copy it from graphical

[01:19] <wheels3572> was wondering if it was renamed or something
[01:19] <ardchoille> is it safe to "sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list?

[01:21] <vdepizzol> How I install this capture card? Philips Semiconductors SAA7133 Video Broadcast Decoder
[01:21] <ubuntu_> hola
[01:21] <forevertheuni> hi..why doesn't my cvs package doesn't support pserver method in cvs? I'm trying to run a cvs command but....I have an error saying password is only accepted in pserver method :/
[01:22] <goatmale> how can I find out my sound card information?
[01:22] <goatmale> lspci?
[01:22] <transgress> damn that was mean
[01:22] <transgress> oops wrong channel
[01:23] <NerfYoda> hey guys. i just installed xubuntu 6.06 and my sound is coming out in mono. whats the best way to troubleshoot this? google hasn't been much help
[01:23] <forevertheuni> :D I have no sound at all :D
[01:24] <goatmale> I barely have any sound.
[01:24] <spartas> ardchoille, that will work fine (i just tried it, however i usually use sed -e and echo it back to the file)
[01:24] <cparker> somebody call me?
[01:24] <cello_rasp> does anyone know how to PURGE a LAMP install? I have messed up mysql and no matter what i do the problem persists
[01:25] <Mattchewie> goatmale: lspci is always a great place to start :D
[01:25] <NerfYoda> cello_rasp, it depends on how you installed it
[01:25] <cello_rasp> NerfYoda: apt-get
[01:25] <ardchoille> spartas: Thanks
[01:25] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me if the xubuntu-desktop has been renamed or put under another name?
[01:25] <NerfYoda> apt-get remove then?
[01:26] <Mattchewie> NerfYoda: what kind of sound card are you using?
[01:26] <ardchoille> wheels3572: I installed xubuntu-desktop recently and it should be there
[01:26] <ardchoille> !info xubuntu-desktop
[01:26] <ubotu> xubuntu-desktop: Xubuntu desktop system. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.32 (dapper), package size 8 kB, installed size 36 kB
[01:26] <cello_rasp> NerfYoda don't think I havent tried it. No, for some reason mysql persists no matter what
[01:26] <gireeshm> how can I install Dapper using existing swap and home partitions?
[01:27] <gireeshm> I only want to format the / partition
[01:27] <NerfYoda> Mattchewie: its onboard sound on a shuttle sn25p. its an Envy24PT/HT chipset. it worked fine back when i tried FC4
[01:27] <Reimu> gireeshm: select the manually edit partition table thing in the installed
[01:27] <Mattchewie> hrm, I would make sure the correct module is loaded and then check your alsa settings
[01:27] <Reimu> and then do not check the reformat box for the home partition mounts
[01:27] <NerfYoda> cello_rasp, define "persists" :)
[01:27] <gireeshm> Reimu, did that. Nowhere does it let me select what to set a given partition to
[01:28] <NerfYoda> Mattchewie, how would I go about doing either of those? :)
[01:28] <cello_rasp> NerfYoda: mysql database remains on ubuntu
[01:29] <cello_rasp> despite purge.
[01:29] <Broadcast_> hey
[01:29] <Mattchewie> NerfYoda: I would say search google for the what the module is called for that card, then do a lsmod and see if its there.
[01:29] <Broadcast_> i dont know how to install a theme
[01:29] <Mattchewie> but first, I would run "alsamixer" and make sure there isn't anything weird in that..its a ncurse base mixer so its pretty straight forward
[01:29] <bettsp> How do I set the proxy for the entire system?
[01:29] <WebMaven> Is something wrong with us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[01:29] <Reimu> gireeshm: that is odd, because I installed xubuntu with an existing home partition :/, umm if you manually edit the partition table after the partitioner you can set mount points,
[01:30] <spartas> WebMaven, yes the us mirror is down
[01:30] <Reimu> anyways, I got to eat now, sorry
[01:30] <Broadcast_> ??
[01:30] <WebMaven> For the record, neither synaptic nor gDebi deal very well with this. gDebi is worse.
[01:31] <livingdaylight> downloaded elephant dreams http://orange.blender.org/download but can't open the avi file
[01:31] <NerfYoda> Mattchewie, you can have my manbabies.
[01:31] <goatmale> when I say lspci what is the combination of letters and numbers mean?
[01:32] <NerfYoda> You're the best!
[01:32] <goatmale> meaning this stuff EMU10k1
[01:32] <WebMaven> is there an ETA for us.archive.ubuntu.com being back up?
[01:32] <NerfYoda> found that a hw switch was turned off in alsamixer
[01:33] <livingdaylight> fsking great
[01:33] <WebMaven> spartas:  is there an ETA for us.archive.ubuntu.com being back up?
[01:33] <SeanTater> WebMaven: why not just change to archive.ubuntu.com (no us.)
[01:33] <spartas> WebMaven, not that i know of, but you can switch the repos using 'sudo sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g etc/apt/sources.list'
[01:33] <SeanTater> WebMaven: It will redirect you to the mirrors that work
[01:34] <bettsp> Sorry, I got booted. Did anyone know how to set the proxy?
[01:34] <spartas> oops, should be /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:35] <WebMaven> SeanTater, spartas: thanks.
[01:35] <yannis> hello
[01:35] <spartas> np
[01:35] <vdepizzol> How I put my capture card to work? Someone can help me?
[01:35] <SeerNo> is us.archive.ubuntu.com down???
[01:36] <SeerNo> i can't apt-get anything
[01:36] <Mattchewie> SeerNo, yes
[01:36] <Mattchewie> SeerNo, you will have to use a different mirror or wait it out :D
[01:36] <lens> hey, I am working with wine and I use the command winecfg and I want to change it to windows NT 4.0... the only problem is I can't figure out how to save my settings, the window looks too small.
[01:36] <SeerNo> thanks
[01:37] <HermanDE> Morning all...
[01:37] <SeerNo> any pointer to list of mirrors?
[01:38] <goatmale> yeah hold on seer
[01:38] <shea> SeerNo, just omit the 'us.'
[01:38] <shea> heh
[01:38] <SeerNo> ok cool thanks!
[01:38] <Broadcast_> how can i aply a theme
[01:38] <Broadcast_> please
[01:38] <lens> winecfg
[01:38] <coachJ> are the US repos still down?
[01:38] <shea> apparently
[01:38] <Broadcast_> ?
[01:38] <lens> anyone have problems with the winecfg window being too small?
[01:38] <bettsp> lens: Try making the window bigger (Alt-Space, Size)
[01:38] <Reimu> In gnome can you have two different wallpapers? Like KDE where you can have one wallpaper in one workstation and another in another one. I don't see an option in the system menu
[01:39] <bettsp> lens: Or hold Alt and drag the window
[01:39] <lens> bettsp ... ok thanks.
[01:39] <bettsp> lens: If that doesn't work, you can manually set parameters using command-line switches in wine
[01:39] <goatmale> seerno you can also use this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[01:39] <yelek> I have a question if anyone could help...
[01:39] <varsendaggr> ak jahshaka is not finding qmake
[01:39] <shea> Reimu, i guess you could always just use xsetroot :]
[01:39] <goatmale> it worked for me..
[01:39] <varsendaggr> i just installed it
[01:39] <shea> (i dont know)
[01:39] <Reimu> shea: What is that?
[01:40] <bettsp> Reimu: You can't do that, people keep asking for it in GNOME but the devs are reticent
[01:40] <yelek> I installed wine, and I am trying to put a link in the menu of KDE, anyone know ho to do this
[01:40] <shea> sets the root window params
[01:40] <gireeshm> hmmm
[01:40] <Ballsy> Anyone know how to convince the Dapper LiveCD to boot to run-level 3 right off the bat?
[01:40] <lens> bettsp: I heard dapper drake ignores the config file so you have to do it through the window... and also I tried alt and alt-space and resize is greyed out.
[01:40] <Reimu> bettsp: What would happen if I install KDE and use kcontrol to control the desktop but still be in the grnome desktop?
[01:40] <bettsp> Reimu: Just take two wallpapers and edit them together into one file that's the size of your combined screen
[01:40] <bettsp> Reimu: Nothing, it won't work
[01:41] <Reimu> wait... are you saying that if you put a really big wallpaper
[01:41] <cpk2> Ballsy: when it starts just do sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop?
[01:41] <square1> yelek: if its like gnome, check this: http://maia.deec.uc.pt/mwiki/Linux/Gnome/AddingNewMenuItems
[01:41] <Reimu> it will go from desktop 1 - 2?
[01:41] <yelek> I think it's differen actually...
[01:41] <Reimu> Or is there a way to attach desktops like xfce?
[01:42] <bettsp> Reimu: I think so, depending on how you set the sizing
[01:42] <varsendaggr> ./configure: line 50: qmake: command not found
[01:42] <Reimu> oh, that is great, but how do you attach desktops, I don't think it could work right now, but if I attach them (so that when I drag a window down it goes into the next desktop) it might work
[01:43] <Ballsy> cpk2, keeping in mind my base OS is WinXP, and I'm only trying to 'demo' Ubunto via the Live CD.  Not sure I can get to the point where I can issue the sudo command.
[01:43] <danpalka> help!
[01:43] <square1> Ballsy: you can issue the sudo command on the live cd
[01:44] <Ballsy> cpk2, in Suse 10.1, for example, you can specify '3' as a boot option, and it'll take you to run-level 3.  I have yet to find an analogous boot option for ubuntu
[01:44] <varsendaggr> Ballsy, yeah
[01:44] <danpalka> im a mac OS X user, and my friend wants me to "fix" his PC and we decided to try ubuntu because of some other peoples recommendations
[01:44] <square1> the default runlevel in ubuntu is 2
[01:44] <cpk2> Ballsy: ubuntu does do run level like that, run level 2-5 or whatever is the same
[01:44] <danpalka> so i downloaded the CD and booted from it but everything is soo slow
[01:44] <danpalka> and im not sure exactly what steps i should take to install it onto his pc
[01:44] <cpk2> Ballsy: if you want to shutdown the xserver just do sudo invoker-rc.d gdm stop
[01:45] <square1> danpalka: its running and decompressing stuff from the cd all the time, its normal the slowliness
[01:45] <spartas> Ballsy, grub isn't run on the livecd, but if you install ubuntu you should be able to specify a runlevel at the grub shell
[01:45] <bettsp> danpalka: Just click on the Install link on the desktop
[01:45] <Ballsy> cpk2, square1, varsendaggr, I believe I neglected to mention that the reason I need to do this is because the LiveCD stops at 'configuring some drivers.....ok' and dumps me to a blank screen with blinking cursor.  And I can't get to any of the term windows via ctrl-alt-f*
[01:45] <danpalka> well i went to Disk Manager to format his disk first
[01:45] <danpalka> and then i open that install app but it takes like 20 minutes just to launch
[01:45] <danpalka> is that abnormal?
[01:46] <bettsp> danpalka: You might have a bad CD
[01:46] <danpalka> Mac OS X install CDs also boot into the full GUI for installing, but its never this slow
[01:46] <cpk2> Ballsy: you check to make sure the cd is?
[01:46] <Reimu> *googles xsetroot* this looks like it might work, how does it work? is there a package for it?
[01:46] <square1> Ballsy: thats  bad
[01:46] <danpalka> hmm
[01:47] <danpalka> is there a command line way to install from the Desktop CD
[01:47] <square1> Ballsy: don't you have a usb stick connected while booting?
[01:47] <Ballsy> cpk2, the .iso I downloaded passed the checksum test.  HOWEVER, when running the 'test CD medium' thing from the Ubuntu menu, it found 4-5 mismatch/failures....however, I ran that same medium on my laptop with no problems.
[01:47] <square1> Ballsy: i once had a problem with that on suse....
[01:47] <danpalka> also as a side note: in the Disk Manager when i'm choosing a file format and the choices are like Extended 2, Extended 3, etc...
[01:47] <danpalka> which would be best to choose
[01:47] <varsendaggr> anyone else haivng an issue with us.archive.ubuntu.com ?
[01:48] <Bison> Has anyone had a problem with isos for 6.06?
[01:48] <square1> varsendaggr: everyone... down, try another one
[01:48] <Ballsy> square, no USB stick, no.  I (kinda) figured out how to get around the problem in Suse though.
[01:48] <cpk2> varsendaggr: its down, use a mirror
[01:48] <dmsantam> varsendaggr, yes
[01:48] <bettsp> danpalka: Do you care about what's on the disk? You can clear it by running "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=64"
[01:48] <cpk2> Ballsy: so it sounds like either something is wrong with the cd or your hardware?
[01:48] <varsendaggr> how do i do that with apt?
[01:48] <Ballsy> Bison, what kind of 'problem' are you referring to ?  Did they pass the checksum test ?
[01:48] <danpalka> nothing on the hard drive matters
[01:49] <Howitzer> Where do i modify the focus settings?
[01:49] <bettsp> That command will completely clear the drive contents
[01:49] <danpalka> his Windows XP install became so slow from viruses or spyware or whatever it is hes downloading
[01:49] <Reimu> wait... xsetroot is for xfree86 T_T
[01:49] <Ballsy> cpk2, I'm pretty sure it's my SiS 760 onboard vid that's causing it, and there's APPARENTLY a fix, but you have to do a full Ubuntu install first, and I'm not quite ready to commit to that yet.  ;)
[01:49] <bettsp> (Well, in the sense of the partition structure)
[01:49] <Bison> Ballsy: well originally i thought it might be a hardware problem...
[01:50] <chris08> hi, does anyone have a ati 7500 running with dapper and 3d enabled?
[01:50] <Bison> Once I burn them, they either won't boot up correctly, or they don't install/pass the cd check
[01:50] <Ballsy> cpk2, which is why I'm trying to figure out how to NOT start X during the LiveCD thang.
[01:50] <Bison> and by correctly, i mean at all
[01:50] <Bison> it just hangs on 'Booting from CD' or whatever
[01:50] <yelek> anyone know how to put an installed program into the KDE menu?
[01:50] <element`ubuntu> I installed linux-sources and all that kernel stuff...but it's not compiling and giving me a /usr/src/linux/include files/folder...any idea how to get that working?
[01:50] <Broadcast_> where do i find the recycle bin
[01:50] <Bison> yelek: did you log in and then out?
[01:50] <Bison> er, the other way
[01:51] <billfur> is eclipse with C broken on dapper?
[01:51] <Howitzer> Where do i modify the focus settings?
[01:51] <chris08> broadcast: bottom left corner
[01:51] <Ballsy> Bison, I'm having a virtually identical issue.  Checksums were fine on the ISOs, burned them 3 diff times using DVD Decryptor and Nero 6, and I still get a few failures during the disk check.  But, that doesn't stop the LiveCD from working on my laptop and a machine at work.  Just fails on my home desktop hardware.
[01:51] <billfur> for automakefiles.
[01:51] <Tommy2k4> kubuntu crashed again :(
[01:51] <chris08> broadcast: ehh bottom right corner
[01:51] <Broadcast_> i removed it
[01:51] <ringard> can anyone access us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[01:51] <Broadcast_> :(
[01:51] <Broadcast_> :$
[01:51] <crimsun> ringard: topic.
[01:51] <Ballsy> Bison, out of curiosity, what kind of vid card are you using ?
[01:51] <yelek> Bison: no I dodnt know I was supposed to, heh
[01:51] <ringard> :)
[01:52] <Bison> yelek: try that, it should work
[01:52] <yelek> k I'll be back then....thx
[01:52] <darth_gimp> Where do I find what I need to write and compile C++ based programs?
[01:52] <Broadcast_> ?
[01:52] <Bison> Ballsy: live cd no worky either
[01:52] <Broadcast_> bin?
[01:52] <Bison> Ballsy: Nvidia
[01:52] <Bison> Ballsy: what MB are you using?
[01:52] <bettsp> darth_gimp: apt-get build-essential
[01:52] <Blissex> darth_gimp: do a web search for 'build-essential'
[01:52] <Bison> its not trying to like boot up a 2.4 kernel or anything is it?
[01:52] <Bison> I had no issues with Hoary
[01:52] <Broadcast_> ???
[01:52] <Bison> btw
[01:53] <Broadcast_> where is the RECYCLE BIN
[01:53] <danpalka> i dont get why this installer is taking so long to launch
[01:53] <danpalka> even from the cd
[01:53] <danpalka> its reading the CD like crazy
[01:53] <Bison> Oh, and the liveCD...it runs realllllly slowly, eventually hanging
[01:53] <darth_gimp> bettsp, does that allow me to write my own C++ Code?
[01:53] <danpalka> yeah my LiveCD thing is hanging as well
[01:53] <bettsp> darth_gimp: It gives you a compiler
[01:53] <Ballsy> Bison, ASUS K8S-LA mobo....
[01:54] <darth_gimp> I want to do C++ programming.
[01:54] <Broadcast_> please
[01:54] <Broadcast_> where can i find the recycle bin
[01:54] <Broadcast_> ?
[01:54] <Bison> I couldn't even get the 'server install' CD to boot at all
[01:54] <bettsp> darth_gimp: apt-get install kdevelop would be good as well
[01:54] <Bison> darth_gimp: then get g++
[01:54] <Ballsy> Bison, I tried the Suse 10.1 live CD though, and eventually got that to work, once I changed some parms in xorg.conf pertaining to my vid card.  Which is why I think it's the culprit with the Ubuntu LiveCD
[01:54] <cpk2> Ballsy: you could just get the alternate cd
[01:54] <cpk2> that is all command line
[01:54] <Bison> Ballsy: I have had problems with various live CD's.  Mostly because they were running a 2.4 kernel
[01:55] <Ballsy> cpk2, what will the alternate CD give me ?
[01:55] <Bison> I want the old installer...the ncurses one...which cd is that
[01:55] <Broadcast_> coommon
[01:55] <Reimu> Does anyone know how to use xsetroot
[01:55] <Broadcast_> where is the recycle bin
[01:55] <Heretician> QUESTION: I am looking at the screen where I prepare my partitions (manually) although it isn't working out really well for me, I am wanting 1gb for the Media space and the rest (29.56) for /(root) -- It all seems to go well except during the installation it gets to about 2% and tells me that I need a media partition, although I have already added one.. It was at /media/sda3 im pretty sure
[01:55] <Broadcast_> ubotu, ?
[01:55] <Bison> Reimu: man xsetroot
[01:55] <Heretician> Is this correct
[01:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about ? - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:55] <bettsp> darth_gimp: "g++ -o somefile -Wall somefile.cpp" will compile an executable
[01:55] <Broadcast_> ubotu, recycle bin
[01:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about recycle bin - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:55] <Heretician> Broadcast_, bottom right
[01:55] <Howitzer> Where do i modify the focus settings?
[01:55] <Broadcast_> it's nothere
[01:56] <Broadcast_> i removed it by accident
[01:56] <Bison> So anyone know that one?
[01:56] <darth_gimp> So I need g++ to do c++ programming.
[01:56] <Bison> darth_gimp: yes, get it
[01:56] <Howitzer> yep
[01:56] <Heretician> Broadcast_: right click -> add to panel
[01:56] <Bison> darth_gimp: just like gcc
[01:56] <Howitzer> and a text editor
[01:56] <darth_gimp> excellent.. thanks!
[01:56] <bettsp> darth_gimp: Yes, apt-get build-essential will install it for you
[01:56] <Broadcast_> THANKS
[01:56] <cpk2> Ballsy: i dont know if the alternate cd has any live functionality but i do know it would load to a gui
[01:56] <Heretician> np
[01:56] <Howitzer> cpk2, no
[01:57] <Bison> cpk2: so i can't get the old ncurses installer?
[01:57] <Howitzer> it's textbased like the old editions
[01:57] <Howitzer> Bison, you can, the old ncurses installer is in the alternate
[01:57] <Bison> alright sweet!
[01:57] <Heretician> QUESTION: I am looking at the screen where I prepare my partitions (manually) although it isn't working out really well for me, I am wanting 1gb for the Media space and the rest (29.56) for /(root) -- It all seems to go well except during the installation it gets to about 2% and tells me that I need a media partition, although I have already added one.. It was at /media/sda3 im pretty sure, anyone know if this is incorrect?
[01:57] <Bison> Howitzer: sweet...i figured it was the 'server install'
[01:57] <Howitzer> oh
[01:57] <Howitzer> nope
[01:57] <Ballsy> Alright...my hardware issue aside...
[01:57] <Howitzer> that's another edition :D
[01:57] <bettsp> Heretician: Don't make a separate partition for /media
[01:57] <Bison> thank god...your a life saver
[01:58] <Reimu> Bison: I tried that of course, I want to find out how to make different workstations have different wallpapers but the manual doesn't help
[01:58] <Heretician> bettsp: one for /media and one for / ?
[01:58] <Howitzer> \ o /
[01:58] <Heretician> bettsp: it was going for /media/sda3
[01:58] <Howitzer> I mean something, Hurray xD
[01:58] <bettsp> Heretician: It's just all mountpoints, you're just wasting diskspace
[01:58] <binary1> hey, im trying to edit my sources.list file but it wont let me edit it in gedit, and ideas?
[01:58] <Bison> Reimu: let me look at my .ratpoisonrc real quick
[01:58] <Heretician> bettsp: How big should I make it?
[01:58] <Ballsy> Anyone had luck with x86_64 Ubuntu, and anyone know if they're looking at making Ubuntu Biarch-friendly in the next ver ?
[01:58] <cpk2> binary1: do it as sudo
[01:58] <darth_gimp> bettsp, Invalid operation build-essential
[01:58] <binary1> i did
[01:58] <bettsp> darth_gimp: Oops, apt_get install build_essential
[01:59] <bettsp> Heretician: Don't make a separate partition at all for /media
[01:59] <darth_gimp> thanks
[01:59] <Heretician> bettsp: It lets you just make one? It told me it was required ;/
[01:59] <JDStone> crap, is 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' down
[01:59] <Heretician> bettsp: Trying it now though.
[01:59] <JDStone> I can't do apt-get update
[01:59] <JDStone> it just says connecting
[01:59] <goonies> is there a light version of ubuntu out there
[01:59] <spartas> JDStone, it's down
[01:59] <bettsp> Heretitcian: No, make partitions for /home and /, that's it
[01:59] <goonies> or a way to build ubuntu from scratch
[01:59] <JDStone> spartas, how long 'til it's up?
[02:00] <ttyfscker> where is everyone that is developing for edgy??  i am trying to get some info in the #ubuntu+1 chan  but no one talks..
[02:00] <JDStone> til its back up
[02:00] <Ballsy> Anyone running VMWare on Ubuntu 64-bit by chance ?
[02:00] <Heretician> bettsp: It seems to be creating it itself lol
[02:00] <darth_gimp> bettsp, Looks like I already have that installed. Hmm how do I access g++ then?
[02:00] <Protostar> yo
[02:00] <Protostar> I'm having problems downloading from the repositories
[02:00] <rdemanow> If my system sounds are working fine, and Gaim is producing sounds, why am I not getting sounds from flash player in Firefox?
[02:00] <spartas> no eta, but you can do 'sudo sed -i /us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update' to change mirrors
[02:01] <Protostar> i can download off the net, but not from the repositories
[02:01] <bettsp> darth_gimp: Should work then. I could be full of it though
[02:01] <Heretician> bettsp: "No mount point selected for Partition 3 Disc USB/SCSI/SATA 1 (Primary) [sda3] ."
[02:01] <JDStone> thanks spa
[02:01] <darth_gimp> lol
[02:01] <JDStone> Protostar, the mirror is down
[02:01] <Protostar> oh
[02:01] <Heretician> bettsp: it is creating the extra 1gb itself
[02:01] <Protostar> Thanks
[02:01] <Protostar> I thought it was on my end
[02:01] <bettsp> Heretician: That sounds like swapspace maybe?
[02:02] <Heretician> bettsp: Yeah, that sorry.. What should I name it? /swap ?
[02:02] <spartas> whoa, JDStone, it should be sudo sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update
[02:02] <bettsp> Heretician: No, in the partition editor, just mark it as the type "Swap", swap space is kind of weird as it's not really a filesystem
[02:03] <JDStone> hehe, thanks spartas
[02:03] <Heretician> bettsp: Primary Partition?
[02:03] <binary1> what is the command to search ubuntu servers with apt..
[02:03] <binary1> apt-find?
[02:03] <spartas> apt-cache search
[02:03] <bettsp> Heretician: Yeah... it might be easier if you just let Ubuntu set up partitions for you
[02:04] <binary1> thanks
[02:04] <spartas> np
[02:04] <Heretician> bettsp: When I try that it uses the extra 1gb for / and the 29.56 for swap
[02:04] <darth_gimp> Ok, so I am looking for something that allows me to write my own C++ coding in. Any suggestions?
[02:05] <Qwell> darth_gimp: vi
[02:05] <darth_gimp> Qwell, vi?
[02:05] <Qwell> vi
[02:05] <spartas> darth_gimp, any text editor will work, vi is just one of the many command-line editors
[02:05] <karim> hi
[02:05] <bettsp> darth_gimp: KDevelop
[02:05] <karim> there is no backports for dapper ?
[02:06] <Heretician> bettsp: One is set as just "swap" (996 mb) and one is set as "/" (29.56) hopefully this works
[02:06] <darth_gimp> ok thanks
[02:06] <Heretician> bettsp: That look right?
[02:06] <darth_gimp> be back later.. thanks again....
[02:07] <ardchoille> Is there a single command that, when typed, will wait for a key input, tell you what signal that key sends and give you the choice of totally disabling that key? I have read 16 man pages and still can't figure out how to disable a keyboard key.
[02:11] <estan113> hello
[02:12] <estan113> nice to meet u all
[02:12] <omar> hi there..... I'm looking for transparent windows so the wallpaper is always visible
[02:13] <omar> does anyone knows the way to make all windows transparent ?
[02:14] <binary1> can someone help me install Berkeley DB??
[02:15] <omar> hi binary1... wanting to install Free BSD ?
[02:15] <binary1> no, trying to install dsniff actually
[02:16] <omar> then I'm lost :(
[02:16] <Qwell> binary1: can't just apt-get dsniff?
[02:16] <ardchoille> !info dsniff
[02:16] <ubotu> dsniff: Various tools to sniff network traffic for cleartext insecurities. In repository universe, is extra. Version 2.4b1-13 (dapper), package size 107 kB, installed size 360 kB
[02:16] <Qwell> seems feasible
[02:17] <clarity_> is there a good wireless util to find the power of each AP you have access to?
[02:17] <omar> I'm trying to make all my windows transparent so the wallpaper is always visible.... does anyone knows the way ?
[02:17] <clarity_> ie signal strength
[02:17] <binary1> ohh do i need to uncomment universe in sources.list???
[02:17] <Qwell> clarity_: iwlist scan doesn't show that?
[02:17] <dmsantam> clarity_, doesn't gnome network monitor do that for you?
[02:18] <clarity_> dmsantam: don't think so
[02:18] <clarity_> Qwell: works with my atheros but not my prism card
[02:20] <dmsantam> clarity_, it does for me
[02:20] <ardchoille> Ok, fixed my key problem.. I ripped it off the keyboard :) Couldn't find an app that lets me disable a single key.
[02:20] <dmsantam> version 2.12
[02:20] <dmsantam> ardchoille, lol!
[02:21] <OneSeventeen> Are there any scripts I can run to tell ubuntu to grab a network address?  (it doesn't get one by default when connecting to certain networks)
[02:21] <Apeiron> hey all :) i have a little problem with sudo, i want to execute a script which requires root privileges by pressing a hotkey. i configured sudo like this: "username    hostname = NOPASSWD: /bin/wlan_reset", and evrything works fine if i execute that thing from a shell, but seems like it dont want to work when envoked by a script. thanks for any tips and hints in advance
[02:21] <J-_> man, i spilt pop on my keyboard once, took it all apart, cleaned it, works perfect =D
[02:21] <Qwell> OneSeventeen: dhcpcd?  pump?
[02:21] <OneSeventeen> Qwell I'll man dhcpcd and pump to see what those are, thanks
[02:21] <Qwell> Those probably aren't "the ubuntu way" though
[02:22] <dmsantam> J-_, i spilt hot soup all over my laptop once. spent all night cleaning it up bit by bit, in the morning, it worked fine
[02:22] <dmsantam> J-_, it was a long stressful night though ;)
[02:22] <OneSeventeen> Qwell, well, so far the "ubuntu way" consists of network-manager-gnome trying and failing to connect to the internet... so I'm cool with trying something else.
[02:22] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:22] <Qwell> OneSeventeen: I generally just manually run dhcpcd if it can't get one the first time around
[02:23] <Qwell> or restart the iface
[02:23] <Qwell> (via whatever distro scripts)
[02:23] <OneSeventeen> Qwell: of course now the problem is figuring out how to install dhcpcd...
[02:23] <Qwell> OneSeventeen: It's very likely already installed
[02:23] <Qwell> or, one of the various ones are
[02:24] <Qwell> (note, I don't use Debian/ubuntu, so...)
[02:24] <OneSeventeen> Qwell: cool, thanks for the tips...
[02:24] <ardchoille> Could this be why the us repos aren't working? http://www.internetpulse.com/
[02:25] <Qwell> ardchoille: anything's possible
[02:26] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:26] <Heretician> Is it just me or will a hair being on your ubuntu cd stop it from installing?
[02:27] <tailsfan> IDK
[02:27] <Heretician> time to go and burn my 3rd ubuntu disc.
[02:27] <Reimu> Hereician: O_O, uhh try the check disks for errors, and maybe try burning at the slowest write speed
[02:27] <Qwell> Or you could pull the hair off..
[02:28] <spartas> and make sure your md5sum matches
[02:29] <nomasteryoda> som mirrors have images that are not complete
[02:29] <nomasteryoda> have seen that myself
[02:30] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:30] <Qwell> How would you guys recommend installing Ubuntu on a headless server (sparc)?  Would a CD install output to serial console?
[02:31] <Qwell> Obviously, a CD install would be easier than a netboot, if it's possible to do it that way
[02:32] <traveller_> Qwell I use headless servers that are located remotely and the problem always is can you do a warm and cold boot? The cold boot requires some kind of switch usually connected to a phone line.
[02:33] <Xorlev> Are the us.archive.ubuntu.com archives down?
[02:33] <Xorlev> Err...repos
[02:33] <traveller_> some nic cards can do warm boot
[02:33] <JDStone> how do I confirm that Samba is installed with LDAP support?
[02:33] <spartas> JDStone, i don't think anyone knows the answer to that one
[02:34] <wildechild> question i installed my second HD and installed windows on it and now i can't boot to mu ubuntu partition on my first hd
[02:34] <JDStone> I guess not
[02:34] <Blissex> JDStone: 'ldd' on the Samba executable.
[02:34] <JDStone> but I thought everyone was ignoreing me spartas
[02:34] <wheels3572> anyone in here know how to use and or find bit torrent files?
[02:34] <JDStone> Blissex, what's ldd?
[02:34] <Blissex> JDStone: 'man ldd' :-)
[02:34] <JDStone> of course, thanks :)
[02:35] <Blissex> wheels3572: web search for ".torrent"
[02:35] <Qwell> traveller_: yeah, I can always break out to the low level management interface
[02:35] <karim> wouldn't it be a nice idea to put a colinux windows executable on the live CD, to be able to run ubuntu directly from windows without even rebooting ?
[02:35] <spartas> Xorlev, they're down
[02:35] <Qwell> traveller_: the box is above me...literally
[02:35] <Xorlev> Does anyone have a list of alternate repository hosts that could be used in place of us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[02:35] <Qwell> Xorlev: take off the us.
[02:36] <JDStone> Blissex, libldap_r.so.2 => /usr/lib/libldap_r.so.2 (0xb7f6e000).  that means I have LDAP support, right?
[02:36] <Qwell> traveller_: So, you'd recommend a netboot, or?
[02:36] <Blissex> JDStone: probably...
[02:36] <spartas> Xorlev, you can switch mirrors using sudo sed -i s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:36] <JDStone> probably?
[02:36] <Hisham> how do i fix that?
[02:36] <Hisham> You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "lost+found".
[02:37] <Mime-Tails> WHat is that folder all about anyway?
[02:37] <Blissex> Mime-Tails: recovered files.
[02:37] <spartas> JDStone, make sure you have smbldap-tools installed
[02:37] <Hisham> it's a folder on a partition
[02:37] <JDStone> spartas, I do
[02:37] <Hisham> how can i set permissions to read/write
[02:37] <spartas> okay, that's the only thing i see in apt referring to samba using ldap
[02:38] <ardchoille> Hisham: on what? a file? a device that is in fstab?
[02:38] <nomasteryoda> Hisham, is the partition ext2 or ntfs or fat32?
[02:38] <Hisham> ext3
[02:38] <Hisham> i mounted the ext3 on a folder
[02:38] <Hisham> and now i cant read or write to it
[02:39] <lopzided> how do i reset all my gnome settings to default from the console?
[02:39] <Reimu> Does anyone know how to use xsetroot to have a different wallpaper per workspace?
[02:39] <Hisham> ??
[02:39] <ardchoille> lopzided: That question has been asked quite a lot in other channels I frequent and noone has been able to answer it yet.
[02:40] <omar> has anyone any ideas for getting all windows transparent so the wallpaper is always visible
[02:40] <Mime-Tails> Is there anyway to delete locked folders without signing in as root?
[02:40] <Hisham> ??
[02:40] <Hisham> common please
[02:40] <spartas> JDStone, looks like you have to configure smbldap-tools: http://docs.biostat.wustl.edu/smbldap-tools/smbldap-tools002.html
[02:40] <ardchoille> Mime-Tails: no, this is the purpose of permissions
[02:41] <Steph14> My install stops when it gets to the point where it says "Checking Mirror" any help
[02:41] <omar> I belive I'll have to deal deeper with X server....
[02:41] <ardchoille> Mime-Tails: You can use sudo to remove a file/folder

[02:41] <lostinc> Hi I installed xUbuntu while I like it I would like to upgrade (or downgrade it depends on the point of view) to the latest GNOME Desktop with all the bells and whistles. How can I do that without a full reinstall?
[02:42] <Si1v3rF0x> Anyone have problems running   sudo apt-get install ssh
[02:42] <omar> see ya' ubuntu dudes
[02:42] <Si1v3rF0x> I just installed the 6.06 LTS
[02:42] <Mime-Tails> Bye :)
[02:42] <void^> !info openssh-server
[02:42] <ubotu> openssh-server: Secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In repository main, is optional. Version 1:4.2p1-7ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 200 kB, installed size 540 kB
[02:42] <ardchoille> lostinc: I believe ubuntu-desktop includes the latest stable gnome version.
[02:42] <JDStone> anyone know why the samba.scheme file is not included with Ubuntu?
[02:43] <lostinc> ok
[02:43] <Mime-Tails> What were to happen if you removed ubuntu-desktop?
[02:43] <ardchoille> lostinc: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:43] <ardchoille> Mime-Tails: it's just a meta package, it's safe to remove.
[02:44] <oneeyedelf1> how do I add ssh to startup on computer start
[02:44] <nomasteryoda> !ssh
[02:44] <ubotu> ssh is the Secure SHell protocol (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto). Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows, which can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[02:45] <Loku> Hey
[02:45] <Loku> how do i login as root
[02:45] <som1> how am i supposed to write on a floppy disk? using what?
[02:45] <kozlojak> I am having a problem, Whene i stat up ubutu it takes about 5 mins for my wireless to work correctly it will keep droping and i get about 50% packet loss, the same computer works fine with windows, so i dont think it is the router or card. Any idea's?
[02:45] <Loku> no sudo
[02:45] <spartas> oneeyedelf1, you actually want to install openssh-server, not ssh (the client)
[02:45] <Loku> in graphical
[02:45] <som1> Loku, i dont think you can or even should
[02:45] <nomasteryoda> Loady, open a terminal and type sudo -s
[02:45] <kozlojak> *lots of mistakes
[02:45] <nomasteryoda> if you want
[02:45] <Loku> i cant access one of my disks
[02:45] <Si1v3rF0x> Hey I have installed this before and looking at the doc it said install  openssh-server when I do that I get a error unable to find
[02:45] <Loku> i think a permission error
[02:45] <som1> Loku, mount things using /etc/fstab
[02:46] <Loku> what's the diff
[02:46] <som1> Loku, it lets non-root users access the mounted um, thingies :-)
[02:46] <spartas> !thingy
[02:46] <som1> how do i create a floppy disk? there was some tool for doing that iirc
[02:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about thingy - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:46] <oneeyedelf1> spartas: I installed openssh-server, and I get the /etc/init.d/ssh start to start it, but I dont know how to add it to the startup scripts
[02:47] <wheels3572> I have done a search for Bit torrent on how to use it but I cant find Nothing lol any help on how to use it or even point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated thanks
[02:47] <Mime-Tails> Create a Floppy?
[02:47] <gore> anyone know how to get gnomebaker to burn mp3's into an audio cd?
[02:47] <Mime-Tails> as in to format it?
[02:48] <Loku> `fstab' exists but is not a directory
[02:48] <Loku> ??
[02:48] <gore> its really frustrating me
[02:48] <Mime-Tails> You need the right encoders/decoders
[02:48] <som1> Mime-Tails, yeah, and then put stuff on it!
[02:48] <som1> im so happy its not broken. :-)
[02:48] <oneeyedelf1> nomasteryoda I couldnt find out how to add ssh to the startup scripts, and it doesnt say in the tutorial yuo showed me
[02:48] <Loku> som1,
[02:48] <Loku> i mounted on fstab
[02:48] <ketetha_> hii
[02:49] <spartas> oneeyedelf1, there must be a link to /etc/init.d/sshd in /etc/rc*.d (where * is the runlevel)
[02:49] <gore> yah but where do I find the right encoders decoders for baker
[02:49] <Loku> but how do i access it
[02:49] <Loku> ?
[02:49] <ketetha_> i  need help downlaoding quot libet
[02:49] <som1> Loku, yeah, its a file. you need to edit it as root
[02:49] <oneeyedelf1> Si1v3rF0x: I used that synaptic and it installed it
[02:49] <Mime-Tails> som1 what Ubuntu are you using?
[02:49] <Loku> how?
[02:49] <void^> oneeyedelf1: isn't it starting automagically?
[02:49] <oneeyedelf1> void^: nope
[02:49] <som1> Mime-Tails, oh, hoary hedgehog. heh :-) the x86 thing
[02:49] <oneeyedelf1> spartas: what runlevel should it go in
[02:49] <oneseventeen> Qwell, it looks like dhcpcd is not included, but once I got away from network-manager-gnome and manually set up the wireless adapter, it is working...  of course this makes switching networks more annoying, but at least it works.
[02:50] <Loku> som1, How
[02:50] <Loku> ?
[02:50] <Mime-Tails> O.K. Insert a Floppy and then right-click the icon and select Format
[02:50] <kozlojak> When i start up ubuntu it takes about 5 mins for my wireless to work correctly it will keep droping and i get about 50% packet loss, the same computer works fine with windows, so i dont think it is the router or card. Any idea's?
[02:50] <ketetha_> nevermind gotta go byee
[02:50] <Mime-Tails> then select the type and click "Format"
[02:50] <som1> Loku, sudo nano /etc/fstab
[02:50] <Loku> ok, then change what
[02:51] <spartas> oneeyedelf1, the links are called S20ssh, and they are present in runlevels 2-5
[02:51] <root> I cant seem to get to us.archive.ubuntu.com... is anyone else having problems with apt-get ?? i can ping it just fine... but apt hangs
[02:51] <Qwell> You guys should just put that in the topic...
[02:51] <som1> Mime-Tails, just one second
[02:51] <regeya> !mirrors
[02:51] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[02:51] <spartas> runlevels 1 and 6 have the same link, except it's called K20ssh (K is for stop)
[02:51] <Loku> som1, what do i edit?
[02:51] <mrcoyote> Yep all
[02:52] <oneeyedelf1> spartas: they are present, but for some reason it isnt starting at startup
[02:52] <spartas> okay, check dmesg for any ssh errors
[02:53] <som1> Loku, well, you might wanna "man fstab". theres probably a better guide somewhere
[02:53] <nick_> anyone have any ideas? i cant imagine the main package server is down....?
[02:53] <som1> Loku, you just tell it what to mount, what to mount it to and using what options
[02:54] <Loku> i dont get it
[02:54] <Blazeix> Loku: I came in late, what device are you trying to use?
[02:54] <Loku> what device?
[02:54] <Blazeix> Or what are you trying to do?
[02:54] <Loku> ok
[02:54] <Loku> i formatted a partition to ext2
[02:54] <Loku> and when i mount it
[02:54] <Loku> i cant read or write
[02:55] <LuisMendes> I don't want Rhythmbox opening everytime I plug-in my iPod... how can I do that?
[02:55] <Loku> so som1 told me to mount on fstab
[02:55] <Loku> and i did
[02:55] <Loku> and it's a file
[02:55] <Loku> so how do i access my partition now
[02:55] <Loku> ?
[02:55] <regeya> if you're having trouble with apt-get right now, the mirrors list and sed are your friends (I suppose the mirrors list and perl could be your friend too ;-)
[02:55] <Mime-Tails> Did it work som1
[02:55] <nomasteryoda> Loku, type mount -a
[02:55] <nomasteryoda> see if it is mounted
[02:55] <som1> Mime-Tails, i found it its just on /media. couldve saved me all the almost-crying :-)
[02:55] <Blazeix> nomasteryoda, i think its already mounted, he can't just read/write to it. in the command line, try to navigate to the partition thats mounted, and type 'sudo chmod 777 *myFolder*
[02:55] <som1> Mime-Tails, thanks. alot.
[02:56] <Loku> mount: mount point /etc/fstab is not a directory
[02:56] <Mime-Tails> No Prob :)
[02:56] <nomasteryoda> ah well, if ha can as root then that would make the diff
[02:56] <BlueTiger> There, a nick that isn't regged. xD
[02:56] <Blazeix> loku, try the chmod command i talked about in my last line
[02:56] <sethk> Loku, indeed it isn't.  it's a file
[02:56] <som1> Loku, i thought you cant write on your mounted disk, and you wanted to log in as root (graphically) so you can
[02:57] <sethk> Loku, it specifies how to mount things, but it is not a mount point
[02:57] <Loku> well
[02:57] <sethk> Loku, to mount everything in /etc/fstab you can use   mount -a
[02:57] <Loku> what do i do
[02:57] <Loku> i mean
[02:57] <Loku> here's my fstab file
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> no
[02:57] <nick_> i'm looking at the mirrors list in the ubuntu wiki.... all of these have full copies of the ubuntu repositories?
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> put it on http://pastebin
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> .com
[02:57] <n3rdism> !pastebin > loku
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> or some such
[02:57] <nomasteryoda> thanks
[02:58] <Loku> i will only paste a line
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, either paste it to a pastebin, or just paste only one line
[02:58] <Loku> /dev/hda3       /etc/fstab        ext2    defaults        0       0
[02:58] <susta> Hi
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, that's incorrect
[02:58] <nomasteryoda> susta, howday
[02:58] <nick_> if i put more than one into my source.list will it do 'either' or 'both'?
[02:58] <nnnamenn> does anyone of you use eclise (with dapper)
[02:58] <Loku> then what do i do?
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, because, as you said, /etc/fstab is not a mount point
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, you have to create a directory for mounting it
[02:58] <Loku> ok, then i change /etc/fstab to whatever dir
[02:58] <sethk> Loku, right
[02:58] <Blazeix> Try "/dev/hda3       /mnt        ext2    defaults        0       0"
[02:59] <nomasteryoda> like /mnt/files
[02:59] <Loku> ok, 1 sec
[02:59] <MystaMax> hello chmod question. I'm trying to chmod a directory, i entered sudo chmod o+r /mydirectory  - I received this error chmod: cannot access `/mydirectory': No such file or directory
[02:59] <Apeiron> well, im trying it a second time, since i dont got any responses.. i have a problem with sudo. i try to execute a command which requires root privileges from within xbindkeys. i created a rule which allows me to run that command without typing in my password, and evrything works fine if i type "sudo <command>" in a terminal, but it fails if i try to execute it from within xbindkeys. thanks in advance for any tips and hints :)
[02:59] <sethk> Blazeix, using /mnt that way will hide subdirectories in /mnt, so that's not a good idea
[02:59] <Reimu> Does anyone know how to use xsetroot to have a different wallpaper per workspace?
[02:59] <susta> I'm trying to install ubuntu dapper, I've the dapper CD
[02:59] <BlueTiger> arg, does anyone know how to recover the root password on a fresh installation? It claims that the password is wrong, but I'm positive I'm typing it right (no CAPS LOCK, and I know what I set it to). =/
[02:59] <Loku> /dev/hda3       /mnt/new        ext2    defaults        0       0
[03:00] <Loku> better/
[03:00] <Loku> ?
[03:00] <Blazeix> yes better
[03:00] <Loku> ok, then what?
[03:00] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: chmod -R o+r dirname
[03:00] <Blazeix> try mount -a
[03:00] <Blazeix> then go to /mnt/new
[03:01] <nnnamenn> BlueTiger: use sudo, root account is disabled
[03:01] <Loku> Mount failed.
[03:01] <Loku> :(
[03:01] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, I received the same error
[03:01] <BlueTiger> It said the same thing when I tried sudo
[03:01] <Blazeix> what was the error?
[03:01] <Loku> Mount failed.
[03:01] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: are you sure the file/directory is there then?
[03:01] <BlueTiger> =/
[03:01] <Loku> yeah
[03:01] <Loku> it is
[03:02] <susta> I run the Install link but the wizard keep looking for the Hard Disk, I want to make my own partitions, I use a SATA disk, any of you have the same problem??
[03:02] <nnnamenn> BlueTiger: you type in the same password as for your user account?
[03:02] <BlueTiger> no
[03:02] <Blazeix> try 'sudo mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/new'
[03:02] <BlueTiger> different passwords for root and user
[03:02] <Qwell> When doing a dhcpd tftpd boot, the dhcpd doesn't have to be the same server as the tftpd, does it?
[03:02] <nnnamenn> BlueTiger: try that
[03:02] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, yes. if i run ls -lh theres a d infront of all the permissions
[03:02] <Blazeix> just type it into the command line, don't put it into fstab
[03:02] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: can you chmod other files?
[03:02] <noname_> hi all....I've would like to know if someone can tell me how to install kernel sources manually in ubuntu
[03:03] <Loku> mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda3 is already mounted on /mnt/new
[03:03] <Loku> wtf
[03:03] <sethk> Loku, then it is, in fact, already mounted on /mnt/new
[03:03] <tinLoaf> hi.. which package contains the mysql documentation?
[03:03] <commctrl> how can I fork a program into the background so that it will stay running if the controlling terminal disappears?
[03:03] <Blazeix> o.k. then go to /mnt/new, and see if your files are there
[03:03] <sethk> Loku, mount never lies
[03:03] <Loku> "/mnt/new/lost+found" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[03:03] <tinLoaf> commctrl: nohup
[03:03] <commctrl> tinLoaf, thanks
[03:04] <TWD> Hey.
[03:04] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, yes
[03:04] <oneeyedelf1> commctrl: yuo can also use screen
[03:04] <sethk> Loku, you need root privileges to take that out.  by the way, you should not removed the list+found irectory
[03:04] <sethk> lost+found directory, sorry
[03:04] <Blazeix> you shouldn't delete lost and found
[03:04] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, if this helps its a directory in my /var/www
[03:04] <LuisMendes> I don't want Rhythmbox opening everytime I plug-in my iPod... how can I do that?
[03:04] <Loku> i cant write to my new /mnt/new
[03:04] <commctrl> oneeyedelf1, i just need to run mail-notification. i put it in my startup programs but i don't want to logout just to start it up
[03:04] <sethk> Loku, use sudo, either to write or to do a chmod or chown so your user id can write
[03:04] <Mime-Tails> LuisMendes, go to System > Removable Drives and Media and Disable the iPod
[03:05] <sethk> LuisMendes, take the battery out of the ipod.  then nothing will happen when you plug it in.  :)
[03:05] <Loku> ok, what is the chown command
[03:05] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: mh shouldn't be any different, do you have permission/own the directory to change permissions for it?
[03:05] <damo22> how do i bypass the default wm and load wmii on startup
[03:05] <dmsantam> Loku, man chown
[03:05] <oneeyedelf1> commctrl: alright then, nohup would work
[03:05] <sethk> Loku, chown user:group /mnt/new
[03:05] <ardchoille> chown - change file owner and group
[03:05] <sethk> Loku, so, in this case, sudo chown user:group /mnt/new
[03:05] <LuisMendes> Mime-Tails, oh thx, exactly what I need!
[03:05] <sethk> Loku, and of course user:group is your user and group.  the    id    command will display your user and group (in case you don't know it)
[03:06] <cwillu> xgl is cool
[03:06] <cwillu> in other news...
[03:06] <sethk> Loku, you can use  user   instead of   user:group and change only the user
[03:06] <Mime-Tails> No Problem
[03:06] <tinLoaf> which package contains the mysql documentation?
[03:06] <sethk> Loku,   man chmod     will show you how to use chmod,  man chown will show you how to use chown, etc.
[03:06] <cwillu> how to I get a motherboard raid working?  it's already partitioned for windows;  the faq I've been looking at says to use dmraid, but I've installed everything that seems applicable, but no dmraid
[03:06] <damo22> join #wmii
[03:07] <nick_> quit
[03:07] <TWD> I need help figuring out how to set up my Ubuntu server LAMP so I can ssh into it.
[03:08] <Mime-Tails> Wonders if Ubuntu will ever get Spywarer
[03:08] <Mime-Tails> Spyware*
[03:08] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, I got it. I had to do it like this: chmod -R o+r /var/www/ktdms/
[03:08] <TWD> I've tried searching around and I've tried using iptables and stuff to open the port but I can't figure out the command to use.
[03:08] <BlueTiger> ahhh, crap. Now it doesn't do anything when I try to use sudo. Doesn't even ask for a password. >_<
[03:08] <Navop> Hi all, new to ubuntu, d/l the server cd ..burned it and tried to install it... it gets pass the init file, then the screen goes blank...it like it stopped loading..plz help
[03:09] <cwillu> !search raid
[03:09] <ubotu> Found: lvm, fuse, raid
[03:09] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: eh didn't i say that? >_< sorry
[03:09] <Mime-Tails> Navop, Have you downloaded the file right
[03:09] <spartas> just be careful when using chmod, cause you really don't want to remove execute permissions to the chmod script
[03:09] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, do you understand why I couldn't do it like this: chmod -R o+r /ktdms/  - If I was in the directory
[03:09] <Mime-Tails> Sometimes D/l Managers can mess downloads up
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: yes because the initial slash is wrong
[03:10] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, oh should it of been ./
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: that would be the directory /ktdms not /var/www/ktdms
[03:10] <oneseventeen> how do I stop synaptic from accessing us archives?  (there is no mention of us.archives in sources.list)
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: no, just chmod -R o+r ktdms
 I think so if i just load it from windows the cd boots up to run live...
[03:10] <MystaMax> nnnamenn, ahh
[03:10] <MystaMax> thanks
[03:10] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: given you're in the directory /var/www
[03:10] <darekdmp> where is torrent bibble for linux????????
[03:10] <Si1v3rF0x> .
[03:10] <Mime-Tails> The ISO or the CD Itself>
[03:11] <nnnamenn> MystaMax: :)
 burned the iso with nero..
[03:11] <Blazeix> oneseventeen, if you removed the source from sources.list you will have to run 'sudo apt-get update' for the changes to take effect.
[03:11] <darekdmp> where is torrent bibble for linux?????????
[03:11] <wheels3572> Can anyone that knows bit torrenting help me please
 then tryed the cd to see if it worked
[03:11] <Mime-Tails> Hmm, It could be the download
[03:11] <commctrl> what is torrent bibble?
[03:11] <commctrl> wheels3572, azureus?
[03:12] <wheels3572> commctrl: actually I am using what come with ubuntu which is bittorrent lol but I dont know how to use either of them lol
[03:12] <oneseventeen> Blazeix: once I do that it goes through all but the last two.. the second to last it is trying to retrieve from us.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:12] <darekdmp> bibble for raw
[03:12] <commctrl> darekdmp, still don't know what bibble is
[03:12] <darekdmp> raw format
[03:12] <commctrl> raw format? what's that?
[03:12] <kozlojak> When i start up ubuntu it takes about 5 mins for my wireless to work correctly it will keep droping and i get about 50% packet loss, the same computer works fine with windows, so i dont think it is the router or card. Any idea's?
[03:12] <darekdmp> photo format
[03:13] <commctrl> wheels3572, i'd suggest using Azureus, much nicer than bittorrent
[03:13] <wheels3572> commctrl: ok ty
is thier a place where i can get a fresh copy of ubuntu server...then from the ubuntu home directory
[03:13] <commctrl> darekdmp, so you're asking where a Torrent for Bibble for Linux is?

[03:27] <FunnyLookinHat> : P  this is not enjoyable
[03:27] <Si1v3rF0x> Yes I know need to install ssh server
[03:27] <Si1v3rF0x> and other stuff
[03:28] <profoX`> it will be back up when it is back up :) just use a different mirror for now.. archive.ubuntu.com or uk.archive.ubuntu.com for example
[03:28] <Si1v3rF0x> how do you change this
[03:28] <profoX`> Si1v3rF0x: change it everywhere in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:29] <StevenQuinn> where would i find what driver my wifi card uses?
[03:29] <StevenQuinn> (on dapper)
[03:29] <fowlduck> any ideas for recovering a file off of a partition that is currently ext3 and was previously reiserfs?  it was saved on reiser (repeat)
[03:29] <profoX`> StevenQuinn: google ? what does "lspci|grep Ethernet" give you?
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> hm
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> it gives me my onboard PCI one
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> but i want to use my USB one because my PCI card doesnt support rmon
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> erm
[03:30] <profoX`> StevenQuinn: oh, (what is rmon)
[03:30] <StevenQuinn> so lsusb shows me:

[03:31] <LinuxN00b> Hey, do you guys know any bootable optical drive diagnostic programs?
[03:32] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: DVD/CD diagnostics?
[03:32] <StevenQuinn> LinuxNOOB: it would seem to me that a bootable cd diagnostic program is a little ass-backwards, if you would pardon my language
[03:33] <StevenQuinn> seeing as how you would need to boot off a cd to try to run it
[03:33] <fowlduck> lol
[03:33] <fowlduck> true dat
[03:33] <StevenQuinn> though you could just get two cd/dvd drives
[03:33] <StevenQuinn> lol
[03:33] <profoX`> StevenQuinn: isn't it recognized by default? or does iwconfig give you nothing?
[03:34] <oneseventeen> Is there any way to get network-manager to try harder at getting a network address?
[03:34] <Tommy2k4> ubuntu has crashed over 10 times today
[03:34] <StevenQuinn> olll
[03:34] <StevenQuinn> lol*
[03:35] <dmsantam> oneseventeen, do it on the command line. "dhclient eth0"
[03:35] <dmsantam> oneeyedelf1, that's assuming eth0 is your interface your trying to get address for
[03:35] <dmsantam> oneeyedelf1, i meant oneseventeen :)
[03:35] <gregg__> StevenQuinn: you can also boot via USB
[03:35] <oneseventeen> dmsantam: thanks, I didn't know about dhclient
[03:35] <StevenQuinn> gregg_: good idea, i have a DSL distro and it rocks (for it's size)
[03:35] <profoX`> Tommy2k4: paste your /var/log/syslog on the net somewhere or on www.pastebin.ca and tell us what you were doing before it started crashing
[03:36] <jaysef> please can someone help me get my internet working
[03:36] <gregg__> StevenQuinn: slax rocks like nothing else especially on an USB stick
[03:36] <Tommy2k4> that time i was in styles in kcontrol
[03:36] <profoX`> jaysef: wireless or wired
[03:36] <LinuxN00b> Hey, i had to go but im back, but i SEEMS to me that the arm in the drive stops at one point
[03:37] <Tommy2k4> ive had it happen a few times while using find-file in konqueror (5 times in a row 100% reproduceable (but my kde autostart starts all my apps so i quit them 1 at a time and found out that only xmms made it crash))
[03:37] <LinuxN00b> does anyone know how to..how should i say this..."prove" that the arm stops?
[03:37] <Tommy2k4> but i only started using xmms today and its been crashing forever
[03:38] <westerfunk> where can I download desktop themes for xubuntu?
[03:38] <Tommy2k4> i used to use kaffeine, maybe xine is the problem?
[03:38] <pawan1234> recover lost partition
[03:38] <teicah> how do i mount a lvm partition on a non-lvm system?  here is my prob: http://rafb.net/paste/results/wOl01V95.html
[03:38] <Tommy2k4> which is weird tho because what happens is my monitor flashes lots of lines then gives the error frequency out of range 31khz/0hz
[03:38] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: get a new drive
[03:38] <LinuxN00b> yeah but i want to be sure
[03:38] <Tommy2k4> i dont see how xine could cause that
[03:38] <gregg__> they are CHEAP :)
[03:38] <LinuxN00b> i know
[03:38] <eternalswd> is there any way of making nautilus dual pane?
[03:39] <dadgumit> damn ubuntu is TONS slower than windows, what's wrong?
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> your computer
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> either that or you have ubuntu configured incorrectly
[03:39] <LinuxN00b> rofl
[03:39] <dadgumit> same computer dude, dual boot
[03:39] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: does the drive even recognize CDs/DVDs?
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> no
[03:39] <wheels3572> Can anyone help me get by the Nat Error I have ?
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> something is wrong with your computer
[03:39] <dadgumit> the second option could be true
[03:39] <profoX`> Tommy2k4: no idea.. but maybe you should edit xorg.conf to use the right frequencies as it says in the manual of your monitor
[03:39] <StevenQuinn> ubuntu takes long to start
[03:40] <StevenQuinn> when compared to a well-tuned windows system
[03:40] <LinuxN00b> It reconizes it, but at one point of EVERY CD i run, it crashes
[03:40] <StevenQuinn> but when running it is much, much faster
[03:40] <dadgumit> I have the exact opposite issue
[03:40] <Netherand> Are there any issues with the US repositories?  My machine can't connect to do an apt-get update.
[03:40] <teicah> StevenQuinn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491
[03:40] <LinuxN00b> such as the ubuntu install, kubuntu install, and windows install
[03:40] <Netherand> I can ping it just fine, but it won't update.
[03:40] <StevenQuinn> LinuxNoob: i think you should just get a new dvd drive
[03:41] <LinuxN00b> yeah
[03:41] <dadgumit> I mean, going to maps.yahoo.com, I use up half of my processors power (dual core) trying to move the map some
[03:41] <LinuxN00b> but i have to run a live CD under 75 megs because of where the arm stops
[03:41] <StevenQuinn> that's because of the engine yahoo maps uses
[03:41] <gregg__> LinuxN00b: that sounds... just odd
[03:41] <StevenQuinn> if you don't like ubuntu don't come complain here, just don't use it
[03:41] <Netherand> (duh, just read topic)
[03:42] <dadgumit> StevenQuinn: don't be a tard, if you don't feel like helping fine, but being a tard doesn't help
[03:42] <LinuxN00b> hey maybe you guys can help me figure what the problem is if it isnt the CD drive
[03:42] <dadgumit> if you want to offer optimization tips, or tell me places I may have messed up my configuration for instance, that might be helpfull
[03:42] <eternalswd> dadgumit, are you using xgl/compiz?
[03:43] <dadgumit> eternalswd: thanks, nope though
[03:43] <LinuxN00b> Everytime i run the kubuntu/ubuntu install it crashes while setting up the ext3/2 file system
[03:43] <gregg__> dadgumit: maybe use another browser, for example opera
[03:43] <dadgumit> eternalswd: do have exceleration
[03:43] <minerale> ugh, myspace is down....
[03:43] <eternalswd> just wondering, because that bogs down my computer
[03:43] <dadgumit> gregg__: that is a good idea, I actually hadn't thought of that
[03:43] <LinuxN00b> ive tried ubuntu, ubuntu server, kubuntu desktop, and kubuntu alt
[03:43] <Shak-> is the us.archive.ubuntu.com mirror down?
[03:43] <pawan1234> lost part
[03:43] <wheels3572> Shak:  Yes it is
[03:43] <Shak-> I cant seem to get packages/update my package list due to that mirror
[03:43] <Shak-> ah k
[03:44] <dadgumit> brb
[03:44] <Shak-> wheels3572: any reason why?
[03:44] <Mattchewie> I haven't been able to connect to yahoo either, must be a day of outages
[03:44] <minerale> ok. lost's of high profile websites seem to be down, anything going on ?
[03:44] <TheUni> using the kubuntu live cd, how can i reinstall grub? I had to install windows, so i need Grub back in the MBR
[03:44] <pawan1234> recover
[03:44] <Okita> Okay, I need help with raid:  I made a raid device using mdadm, and it wouldn't mount due to bad superblock.  Upon stopping the raid device and checking the fs, things seem to be wrong with it
[03:44] <Tommy2k4> to whoever was just helping me: it crashed AGAIN :@
[03:44] <gregg__> dadgumit: compared to firefox under win32, it is somewhat slower in linux IMHO
[03:44] <wheels3572> Shak-: no idea why but you need to remove us from your sources.list so it reads archive.ubuntu.com instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:44] <Shak-> ah ok
[03:44] <Tommy2k4> us.archive is down
[03:45] <Shak-> just remove the 'us' then
[03:45] <wheels3572> Shak-: remove us.
[03:45] <Shak-> k
[03:45] <wheels3572> I can show you an example hold on
[03:45] <Navop> k ro burn iso I just use nero and burn iso
[03:45] <minerale> http://www.systemstatus.com/backbonereport.html
[03:46] <LinuxN00b> any idea on what my problem is for the filesystems?
[03:46] <wheels3572> Shak-: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu is what you want NOT http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[03:47] <Shak-> wheels3572: ok, im just find/replacing all the us.
[03:47] <cristophine> Hi all. I'm trying to get my nvidia drivers running. The drivers install properly and I can start x after installing. When I restart, the system cant start x. Apparently it is finding the wrong driver. Suggestions?
[03:47] <wheels3572> Shak-: Correct remove all the us. :)
[03:47] <LinuxN00b> cristophine: try StartX
[03:48] <cristophine> LinuxNoob: Its starting properly after install with startx
[03:48] <cristophine> LinuxNoob: when I log in however, I need to rmmod nvidia and modprobe nvidia for it to find the right driver
[03:49] <LinuxN00b> psh, dont take anything from me, hence, "Linuxn00b"
 K got the server iso, i just burn it with nero, nothing special...to do
[03:50] <cristophine> no worries; i've fixed this before, but I dont remember how :s
[03:50] <Tommy2k4> its safe to clear /var/log/syslog right
[03:50] <LinuxN00b> okay so NO ONE has ANY idea of what my computers problem is?
[03:51] <cristophine> whats the problem?
[03:51] <Merkidemis> I started to install Xine, and added the Debian unstable repository to my apt list.  However, there are some packages that fail to install (tzdata specifically) and I seem unable to repair it.  Any way to roll back the operation?
[03:51] <LinuxN00b> Everytime i run the kubuntu/ubuntu install it crashes while setting up the ext3/2 file system
[03:51] <regeya> seriously, what was the problem, LinuxN00b; I'm far too lazy to scroll back
[03:51] <LinuxN00b> Everytime i run the kubuntu/ubuntu install it crashes while setting up the ext3/2 file system
[03:51] <cristophine> try reiserfs
[03:51] <Tommy2k4> pastebin is saying im not entering text when i am
[03:51] <cristophine> its better than ext
[03:51] <Merkidemis> I need to replace libc6 with the ubuntu version
[03:51] <Tommy2k4> is there a line limit
[03:52] <cristophine> LinuxNoob: use reiserfs
[03:52] <pawan1234> adsl broadband in ubuntu
[03:52] <pawan1234> how
[03:52] <LinuxN00b> alright thanks, brb gonna try again
[03:52] <sam__> um...
[03:52] <roostishaw> what file does a vertual machine use to launch? i need to change its permissions...
[03:52] <Mattchewie> :|
[03:52] <sam__> My wireless card thinks it's an ethernet card; what do I do?
[03:52] <regeya> LinuxN00b: or, you could take a hint and assume it's a hardware issue...hate to say it but either incompatibility or hardware failure could be it...if either are true, your life will be MORE miserable with reiserfs
[03:53] <halibut> Is it possible to get this working in ubuntu? http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/90805
[03:53] <sam__> it worked before I updated
[03:53] <sam__> (I updated today
[03:53] <exacube> Is anyone running Ubuntu on an iMac?
[03:53] <exacube> old version of iMac.. 2000 model, where it looks like a fat CRT monitor
[03:54] <Mattchewie> Halibut, depends on what chipset its using
[03:54] <cristophine> exacube: I didnt think you could run linux on a nonintel mac?
[03:54] <roostishaw> anyone, what file(s) does a vertual machine use to launch? in other words, what file do i need to change permissions on for all users to be able to use that virtual machine?
[03:54] <Mattchewie> I have a 6-in-one and apparely its supported but only in Kernel 2.6.17
[03:54] <halibut> Mattchewie, It plugs in to a usb header on mobo, I assume ubuntu will be ok from there?
[03:55] <exacube> cristophine: linux is the most portable operating system on the planet. Yeah, it can
[03:55] <Mattchewie> halibut, once again, it depends on what the motherboard is using to control it. For example, my usb and firefire works fine on my 6 in one, but the sd/cf/and memory stick reader does not
[03:56] <Mattchewie> I would run a "lscpi" and do some digging on google before you make your purchase
[03:56] <exacube> Macs prior to the intel mac used PPC processors (PowerPC)
[03:56] <exacube> they switched over because PowerPC are powerhungry (as the name suggests)
[03:57] <cristophine> exacube: my bad; that was windows...
[03:57] <exacube> costly, and not nearly as powerful as AMD or Intel
[03:57] <exacube> ah.
[03:57] <Paladine> !restricted > paladine
[03:57] <tripppy> can someone help? im getting a kernel panic error
[03:57] <exacube> yeah, windows runs on x86 architectures only (AMD, Intel)
[03:58] <RTB|Sock> it used to run on PPC and alpha
[03:58] <Mattchewie> that it did!
[03:58] <exacube> o rly?
[03:58] <roostishaw> anyone, what file(s) does a vertual machine use to launch? in other words, what file do i need to change permissions on for all users to be able to use that virtual machine?
[03:59] <tripppy> GRUB boots, it loads kernel, then it errors in this order
[03:59] <tripppy> ramdisk ran out of compressed data
[03:59] <tripppy> invaild compressed format (error=1)
[03:59] <tripppy> kernel panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root on unkown block (0,0)
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> anybody, how do you make a wireless card act like a wireless card
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> mine says it's an ethernet card
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> with lspci
[03:59] <Mattchewie> :|
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> but it isn't
[03:59] <RTB|Sock> anybody?
[04:00] <Mattchewie> RTB|Sock, I have neverseen that before
[04:00] <wheels3572> How do I find out what port my router is on
[04:00] <blackice> i cant update my files
[04:00] <crus> wheels3572: for the web interface?
[04:00] <Mattchewie> blackice, if your talking about apt, the us archive is down
[04:00] <wheels3572> crus: yes
[04:01] <blackice> update manger is down
[04:01] <RTB|Sock> yeah
[04:01] <blackice> ?
[04:01] <wheels3572> blackice: us.archives are down
[04:01] <RTB|Sock> any tips
[04:01] <Mattchewie> blackice, kinda, the servers that the update tool checks is down
[04:01] <crus> wheels3572: default would be port 80, the IP depends on what you have set it to.. if you never changed it, the default IP will be in the manual.. or in your default GW settings if its assigning you an IP address based on DHCP
[04:01] <RTB|Sock> like replugging the card back in?
[04:01] <regeya> !tell blackice about mirrors
[04:01] <stiv2k> are the madwifi drivers included in the 6.06 LiveCD?
[04:01] <maddash> is anyone having trouble with the breezy repositories?
[04:02] <regeya> !mirrors
[04:02] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[04:02] <eshed> wow lots of people
[04:02] <maddash> more specifically: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/Release.gpg
[04:02] <maddash> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/Release.gpg
[04:02] <Mattchewie> yes they are down maddash, plz see topoic
[04:02] <Mattchewie> *topic even!!
[04:02] <LinuxN00b> Hmm..didn't work, as it was installing the base system it froze at 6%
[04:02] <maddash> I can't - there's a black square dangling at the top of my screen
[04:03] <regeya> maddash, huh?  move it
[04:03] <blackice> how do i install flashplayer
[04:03] <Mattchewie> LinuxN00b, I think you where gone but ..someone, forgot who...said that you might have HD failure on your hands
[04:03] <eshed> someone here knows about EciADSL modem drivers?
[04:03] <LinuxN00b> i ran a hard drive diagnostic thing and it said it was fine
[04:03] <profoX`> blackice: goto synaptic and enable universe and multiverse repositories, then update the package list and search for flashplugin
[04:03] <maddash> regeya: what could I replace "CC" with?
[04:03] <LinuxN00b> oh, and when i try to run a Live CD it crashes
[04:03] <regeya> !tell maddash about mirrors
[04:04] <maddash> regeya: gracias.
[04:04] <LinuxN00b> and live CDs dont need HDDs
[04:04] <stiv2k> are the madwifi drivers included in the 6.06 LiveCD?
[04:04] <wheels3572> crus: I am sorry I didn't mean port I meant to ask how to find the ip addy of what internal ip it's using lol I am sorry my bad lol
[04:04] <Mattchewie> LinuxN00b, ? did you use the disk utility that comes from your HD's manufacture?
[04:04] <regeya> LinuxN00b: I was merely suggesting that you might have hardware incompatibilities and/or hardware problems.  you could try reiserfs, sure, but if you get it to work AND you have hardware issues, you'll be in for an even more crummy time
[04:05] <crus> wheels3572: has it given you an IP address already via DHCP? If so its probably assigned you the default gateway of its I.P address.
[04:05] <crus> wheels3572: do an ifconfig to find out the default gateway's address. that will be the address of the router if it is infact using DHCP
[04:05] <wheels3572> crus:  ty :)
[04:05] <Mattchewie> LInuxN00b: Ah see I thought you just had issue's when trying to install the distro to your HD.
[04:05] <roostishaw> blackice, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree  then   sudo reconfigure-flashplugin
[04:05] <roostishaw> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
