[03:10] <ThatsMe> kauer: Hmm, i'm reading the site right now. about installing from windows. i think i'll give that a shot first
[03:11] <nephish> soundray_: dmesg gave me nothing, lspci gave me this: 00:0f.0 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420 SATA RAID Controller (rev 80)
[03:11] <nephish> guess i am ok ?
[03:11] <linux_> what is the command to run NVIDIA X server settings ?
[03:12] <soundray> nephish: yes, the sata_via module supports that.
[03:12] <kauer> ThatsMe: Can you get someone else to burn the CD for you? Right now I'd suspect that the CD itself is faulty. OR you could try burning the "alternate" CD, which uses a more primitive but somewhat more foolproof interface. Get the alternate image from wherever you got the image you are using now.
[03:12] <spl0it> so anyone know how I can disable a device from getting detected in dmesg (cd-rw)? just point me in the right direction and I'll figure it out - I'm just not sure where to start
[03:12] <nephish> soundray_: great, thanks
[03:13] <dice14u> well linux_ i know x server settings is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:13] <ThatsMe> kauer: Okay, i'll try to download the alternate cd
[03:13] <EvanLugh> anyone with experience with ndiswrapper lend a hand..?
[03:14] <ThatsMe> ??:P
[03:14] <kauer> ThatsMe: You still need a source for all the Ubuntu stuff - whether net or CD. The CD is very much the best way to go if you can. But if you can't get a usable CD burned, then by all means try the other methods.
[03:14] <soundray> spl0it: short of disabling it in the BIOS setup, I don't think it's possible without major surgery. What's the underlying problem you're trying to solve?
[03:14] <linux_> dice14u , no metter i have found what i looked for
[03:14] <dice14u> ok then
[03:14] <EvanLugh> Could someone just *please* look at my thread? Almost 3 days I'm thinking of remove ubuntu it's _very annoying_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518682
[03:14] <spl0it> soundray: I have disabled it in bios - its still showing up in dmesg - I can't load k3b, as it hangs on hdd (which is my older cd-rw).... if there isn't an easy way I'll just rip it out....
[03:15] <ThatsMe> kauer: So you are saying i should try the alternate CD first, and THEN look at the install from windows?
[03:15] <pezcado> hmm
[03:15] <anzan>  EvanLugh, I looked but sorry, can't help.
[03:15] <linux_> generaly how i can know waht is the terminal command for some application for example waht is the terminal command for the game  five or more ?
[03:15] <EvanLugh> ah thanks for the reply anyway, anzan
[03:16] <MukiEX> I wouldn't come here if I could find a solution on the boards or in an faq somewhere, but I've hit a nasty brick wall : I can't access anything mounted with curlftpfs  unless I'm root.
[03:16] <soundray> spl0it: I think I've found something...
[03:16] <MukiEX> No options (uid, umask, all available in curlftpfs) get around this.
[03:16] <MukiEX> If I try to chmod or chgrp the folder after mounting, I get errors.
[03:17] <MukiEX> ls -l gives me all kinds of wierd crap in the folder I mount curlftpfs to.
[03:17] <kidbuntu> is there a channel for gamers?
[03:17] <mattwalston> Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting slow to establish ssh connection issue?  I tried the config change on the client, disabled mDNS but still not working.
[03:17] <EvanLugh> kidbuntu: tools->channels list
[03:17] <kauer> ThatsMe: I'm just saying it loosk a lot like that CD you are using is faulty - especially if it hangs at the same place on another computer.
[03:18] <mattwalston> ThatsMe: did you check the md5sum before burning?  try the media test option
[03:18] <kauer> ThatsMe: So burn a new one on a *different* computer and tray that, or try burning the alternate image. But the Windows install is fine too - there are many ways to Ubuntu :-)
[03:18] <spl0it> mattwalston: i would think it has to be dns related
[03:18] <soundray> spl0it: you could add a kernel option like hdc=noprobe
[03:18] <dissection> soundray: "vnstat -u -i eth0 && vnstat -m | grep Aug" <--- Can I add "cut" at the end so it displays only the downloads? How do I do that?
[03:18] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, it should be the CD. but not the ISO. because i have installed ubunty on a virtual PC
[03:18] <linux_> generaly how i can know what is the terminal command for some application ?
[03:19] <spl0it> soundray: ah hmm
[03:19] <kauer> EvanLugh: I have looked at your thread, and for the record, I can't help you :-)
[03:19] <EvanLugh> GRR! Ok thanks >:(
[03:19] <kauer> EvanLugh: Sorry, I meant :-( of course
[03:20] <MukiEX> It's 0.9.91 at that! >_<
[03:20] <soundray> dissection: 'echo foo\;bar | cut -d ";" -f 2' only displays 'bar'. 'man cut' will tell you more
[03:20] <EvanLugh> this is so frustrating
[03:20] <EvanLugh> if i can't get it sorted by tonight
[03:20] <EvanLugh> im switching back =/
[03:20] <soundray> spl0it: do you know how to do that?
[03:20] <kauer> EvanLugh: Can you try with any other adapter?
[03:20] <ThatsMe> ah well, this is my first linux pc anyhow...
[03:20] <EvanLugh> kauer: nope :/
[03:20] <spl0it> soundray no I was just googling it...
[03:20] <ThatsMe> so you might find me here more often:P
[03:20] <MukiEX> anyone? mounting ftp solution? =(
[03:20] <EvanLugh> kauer: i can't even use ethernet because i'm 2 floors away from my router, I live in a 3 story house..
[03:21] <dissection> soundray: I went through the manual but it lets be use only single characters for -d. And the output I have has multiple spaces.. How do I remove them?
[03:21] <soundray> spl0it: 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst', add 'hdd=noprobe' at the end of the line that begins with '#kopt=', save, exit, run 'sudo update-grub'
[03:21] <kauer> hatsMe: Try booting into the real PC. The disk will not attempt any actual install or change to your disks until you tell it to proceed - you can do all the language selection etc etc. If it gets past that on the real metal, then it's a virtualisation thing...
[03:21] <spl0it> soundray: thanks
[03:21] <soundray> dissection: you can squeeze multiple spaces into one with 'tr -s " "' (man tr)
[03:22] <kauer> EvanLugh: Do you have a laptop, a desktop, what...?
[03:22] <ThatsMe> kauer: how do you mean?
[03:22] <EvanLugh> desktop
[03:22] <linux_> what is the name of "Classic media player" in synaptic ?
[03:22] <dissection> oh, let me see
[03:22] <EvanLugh> kauer: desktop
[03:22] <kauer> ThatsMe: Boot the disk! For real! No virtualisation! See how far you get, just don't let it proceed to formatting your HDDs :-)
[03:23] <Vinchenzo28> does ubuntu have any cleaning utilities
[03:23] <ThatsMe> kauer: thats what i'm doing right now:P
[03:23] <iratik> I have some basic questions ..... i don't think I have my hostname configured correctly - because whenever i install a package (for example i installed webmin and it said i could access it at http://www:1000  .... but www is not a fqdn! ? ) what is it that i am most likely doing wrong?
[03:23] <EvanLugh> yah does my laundry every day
[03:23] <Vinchenzo28> nice
[03:24] <EvanLugh> Vinchenzo28: lol
[03:24] <kauer> EvanLugh: Then for about $5 you can get a wireless card that goes inside your desktop (antenna outside of course :-) )that will work with Ubuntu, that will not require nsdiswrapper and all the attendant voodoo, and you can stop futzing about with a USB dookhickey.
[03:24] <spl0it> soundray: do I need to remove the # before kopt??
[03:24] <soundray> spl0it: no
[03:24] <spl0it> soundray: okay - thanks
[03:24] <EvanLugh> kauer: No! My desktop is.. _onthewall_
[03:25] <spl0it> lets see if that worked - brb
[03:25] <Vinchenzo28> Evanlugh: no disk cleanups, defrags?
[03:25] <soundray> spl0it: it has a # because it's meant to be processed by update-grub, not by the bootloader itself.
[03:25] <EvanLugh> and it's cabled/networked around my room
[03:25] <EvanLugh> Vinchenzo28: No idea pal, sorry
[03:25] <spl0it> soundray: ah okay :)
[03:25] <kauer> ThatsMe: Then why did you say "because i have installed ubuntu on a virtual PC"?
[03:25] <soundray> Vinchenzo28: decent filesystems like ext3 don't need defragging.
[03:25] <EvanLugh> Ok i'm off to remove ubuntu, couldn't help me last year, it can't help me now >:(
[03:25] <ThatsMe> kauer: to state that the ISO isn't damaged
[03:26] <soundray> EvanLugh: too bad. Good luck with your next distribution
[03:26] <ideasman_42> hey guys, will ubuntu run on a new mac laptop?
[03:26] <EvanLugh> Thanks.. always same problem :P
[03:26] <EvanLugh> ideasman_42: if it's intel based
[03:26] <soundray> ideasman_42: most likely, yes
[03:26] <ideasman_42> right, one I buy at the shop now
[03:26] <fevel> hello
[03:26] <ideasman_42> any preference?
[03:27] <CheeseGardener> When Gparted formats a hard drive, does it "quick" format, or fully format?????
[03:27] <EvanLugh> i could buy a g2 at the shop :P
[03:27] <kauer> ThatsMe: OK, I see now. The virtual install was from the ISO image, no actual CD. You burned the known-good ISO onto a CD, which now has a problem, apparently.
[03:27] <soundray> ideasman_42: have a look at tuxmobil.org and check out the installation reports linked there.
[03:27] <ideasman_42> intel gfx, do mac have lappys with nvidia cards?
[03:27] <EvanLugh> if it's the brand spanking - new one then yes should work
[03:27] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, thats it:)
[03:27] <soundray> ideasman_42: they do
[03:28] <ideasman_42> thx, I need a new laptop, going to work on an opensource project even in europe ;)
[03:28] <ThatsMe> ideasman_42: what's wrong with europe?:P
[03:28] <EvanLugh> cool maybe come to my place and fix my goddamn ndiswrapper!
[03:28] <ideasman_42> nothing, Im just in australia now
[03:29] <ThatsMe> ideasman_42: Cool.. i've never come any further than france(i live in holland)
[03:29] <CheeseGardener> When Gparted formats a hard drive, does it "quick" format, or fully format?????
[03:29] <spl0it> soundray: well its not in dmesg, lets see if k3b will load - thanks for the help
[03:29] <EvanLugh> yay holland
[03:29] <soundray> spl0it: yw

[03:29] <spl0it> soundray: victory :) - appreciate it.
[03:29] <EvanLugh> *sp4m*
[03:30] <kauer> ThatsMe: Then I still think you should burn a new CD on a different drive and if the new CD doesn't work, try the alternate CD image. At least as a first step, 'cos it does look like the CD is borked. You could try checking the media, I think there's an option on the CD menu....
[03:30] <ThatsMe> kauer: Okay, i'll try.. i've just downloaded GRUB.. try that first(i'm actually used to text-based setups anyway...)
[03:31] <cwkx-chris1> Hey I've just started an xubuntu fresh install on an old laptop 256ddr 60gb 1.6ghz 553mhz - it took a long time to boot up, after resizing the partition to 70% it seems to have stalled and theres just a blue screen with a movable mouse. Any ideas? Its been taking so long to load - have waited an hour already
[03:31] <dice14u> help when starting beryl no GLXFBconfig for default depth
[03:31] <kauer> EvanLugh: Here's a thought for you: Get a couple of powerline ethernet adapters, and get to your router via a second interface.
[03:31] <EvanLugh> kauer: i just had an idea
[03:31] <EvanLugh> kauer: not spending any more, just spent 1.5k on a mac
[03:31] <EvanLugh> kauer: i jsut realised
[03:32] <EvanLugh> kauer i still have an old router
[03:32] <EvanLugh> about 7 months old
[03:32] <EvanLugh> could i convert it into a wireless adapter then ethernet it :P
[03:32] <kauer> EvanLugh: *smacks forhead* now why didn't I think of that!
[03:32] <CheeseGardener> When Gparted formats a hard drive, does it "quick" format, or fully format?????
[03:33] <EvanLugh> kauer: lol it could work?

[03:33] <Frogzoo> EvanLugh: does ifconfig -a show anything?
[03:33] <kauer> EvanLugh: It's a crazy idea - so crazy, it just might work!

[03:35] <rausb0> EvanLugh: i suggest using the rt2570 driver instead of ndiswrapper. you cannot use network-manager with the rt2570, but configuring wpa should still be possible with iwpriv commmands.

[03:59] <IdleOne> ubnuu2, yes
[03:59] <kauer> iratik: your machine looks up its own name if it must. It takes hostname and looks it up using gethostbyname(). That's why you need a functional DNS if the name is to mean anything. You can also just put your name (full and partial) into /etc/hosts...
[04:00] <profanephobia> ubnuu2, yeah its just not Long term Support
[04:00] <soundray> thx1137: when something gets messed up like that, I tend to do a reinstall, rather than wasting the same amount of time (or more) on diagnostics.
[04:00] <Lichnet> Gutsy will be LTS, right?
[04:00] <ubnuu2> IdleOne: OK, good to hear. Think I would prefer feisty then for newer packages
[04:00] <soundray> thx1137: although it can be more satisfying to actually work out what's wrong...

[04:17] <kauer> iratik: You first question involved a log entry that indicated a DNS problem, with some program unable to resolve it's own name. Have you solved that issue?
[04:29] <zero-9376> soundray: googling again now...thanks for the help
[04:29] <stratjakt> nm found a link
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, :-) not that one... seahorse is the frontend for gpg... there's one which just pops up a text box to enter a password.
[04:29] <Vlet> So when one installs google earth, it wants to create a folder ~/.google-earth/ but if I want to install it for all users, where should that folder go? /usr/local/bin /usr/bin ... ?
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: Press enter once
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: Ty:)
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: What happened?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: incorrect login?
[04:29] <hendrixski> I'm trying to sign a file and it keeps saying that I don't have the secret phrase stored... and I ran into this before a long time ago someone said to install a program, and now I'm up against this again and I totally forgot what program it was.  :-(
[04:29] <echelon> with xchat, how do i display the list of users in the channel
[04:29] <jrib> hendrixski: when it pops up see if 'xprop' or 'xwininfo' can help
[04:29] <ThatsMe> err, now what @ incorrect login?:\
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, I'll try those  :-)
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: I'm guessing you were looking a console, and the script messages were platered over the login prompt. If you now have a login prompt, you should be able to get further. Odd that X didn't start...
[04:29] <profanephobia> do you all recommend in getting custom headers or stick with generic
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, i'm actualy looking at the console. but the login won't get further:\
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: it just keeps saying login incorrect
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: Doyou have a "login:" prompt? Ora "Password:" prompt?
[04:29] <linux_> ok for nvidia 5200 fx , 512 ram , 3.0 what is better compiz or beryl ?
[04:29] <jrib> Vlet: that's probably just user specific settings.  If you used the package at medibuntu, the program itself should be available to all users
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: Login incorrect<newline>ubuntu login:<cursor>
[04:29] <profanephobia> linux_ i wouldnt use either but why not use compiz-fusion
[04:29] <jason_> hey ya!
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: when pressing enter @ user
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: it asks for a password
[04:29] <profanephobia> linux_, its compiz and beryl merged love child
[04:29] <jason_> anyone knows a flv to avi/mpeg converter for ubuntu
[04:29] <giggi> no such luck
[04:29] <iratik> kauer: oh my freaking ____: the problem was that "www" is not resolvable... the miscommunication stems from me being misinformed that  on the prompt where it says you<EMAIL_ADDRESS>  that the part after the @ had to be resolvable internet wide ... because the error message was saying www was not resolvable .. i understood why www would not be resolvable ..... so i thought that instead of just www after the @ sign on the prompt  --- that there
[04:29] <iratik>  had to be a fqdn after the @ sign on the prompt ... then sudo wouldn't be giving me messages saying that the part after the @ sign was not resolvable....     the solution i came up with was to give up because either noone anywhere knows how this is really supposed to work on a production web server or i simply cannot comprehend this fundamental idea... i treated the symptom  ... left /etc/hostname as www,  resolv.conf was working brilliantl
[04:29] <iratik> y (i can't complain that www is not really resolvable) ... so i made it resolvable and added an entry to /etc/hosts
[04:29] <hybirdbe> hey , i can't get the import my openpgp key to launchpad , can aybody help me
[04:29] <Vlet> jrib: ahh, no; I was just using google's installer, and no, it actually installs the binaries into ~/.google-earth/ .. use settings get stored in ~/.googleearth/
[04:29] <linux_> profanephobia , so waht to install ?
[04:29] <profanephobia> jason_, ffmpeg
[04:29] <Vlet> jrib: I'll try the package - nice to keep things kosher ;)
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: Well, during the install you were asked for a username and a password. At the "login:" prompt enter the username, at the "password:" prompt enter the password.
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, doesn't look like either of those are "it" .... I think the person who helped me last time was on Ubuntu-motu... maybe I'll check there :-)
[04:29] <giggi> still cant change the gnome-session-properties.. i need to change the settings for the main user, because every time i try to login i crash.. i wanna change it from this user ..
[04:29] <profanephobia> linux_,  compiz-fusion
[04:29] <jrib> Vlet: yeah, that's probably the easiest way
[04:29] <jrib> !medibuntu > Vlet (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi in terminal open file as root
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: ow, i didn't remember entering that:\
[04:29] <jrib> hendrixski: you click on your program after running 'xprop' or 'xwininfo' to get info about your popup
[04:29] <hybirdbe> aaaa , cmmn
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: is there a way to enter ubuntu WITHOUT login?
[04:29] <hybirdbe> thatsme > i don't think so
[04:29] <jason_> profanephobia, cabn i get it at the repositiories
[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: what file ? i need to know what file to edit because gnome sessions is graphic, but x crashes as it logs in.. i need to edit the settings for the other user.. how do i do that?
[04:29] <profanephobia> ThatsMe, why would you want to
[04:29] <ThatsMe> ow buggggggggger...
[04:29] <stratjakt> haee
[04:29] <giggi> i need to know what file to edit because gnome sessions is graphic, but x crashes as it logs in.. i need to edit the settings for the other user.. how do i do that?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> profanephobia: Because i can't remember entering the login-info!
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, oh... I don't have this on installed but I need it... :-( but I don't remember the name... there's the rub
[04:29] <jrib> giggi: what setting exactly?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> darrrrned_
[04:29] <stratjakt> why did the live cd give me a 1280x1024 display, but once installed it wont go higher than 800x600?
[04:29] <john|g> _
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: Bwahahahaha. You're screwed :-) No, not really. Reboot, and choose "safe mode",. That will (eventually) drop you into a root login with no X and you can set your password there. Then reboot.
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> Is moving from 32bit to 64bit Feisty a reinstall, or is there another way to do that - if I wanted to? I'm not looking for advice on whether to, just if that's possible... curiosity.
[04:29] <stratjakt> and how do i get clippy up runnin on this thing
[04:29] <profanephobia> jason_ pretty sure but for your future ref us sudo apt-cache search *** to search for app **** being app name
[04:29] <giggi> jrib: i fucked up by adding some apps to the startup.. dunno which one is causing the trouble tho
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> hello
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: okay thnx, i'll try that
[04:29] <jrib> hendrixski: seahorse caches and prompts for passwords.  Searching the repos, looks like gnupg-agent does too
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> !ohmy | giggi

[04:29] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how to rename a disk in ubuntu????

[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: You did remember at least a username, right? If not, you have a longer row to hoe...
[04:29] <giggi> sorry ;>
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi, have you tried safe login
[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: no, how do i do that?
[04:29] <giggi> jrib: 's empty
[04:29] <linux_> profanephobia , i have installed compiz, now how i can runit ?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: no, i can't remember anything from entering that info
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> giggi, safe should get you in without the apps running; logout and choose safe mode from the "Sessions" prompt before typing your username and pw to log back in
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, I found it... I needed pinentry, that's what it was called.  Thanks though :-)
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi, at login screen in options sessions or from grub boot or live cd
[04:29] <giggi> Safe mode?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: i'm now in the console... root@ubuntu:~#
[04:29] <ThatsMe> now what?:P
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> blieve so
[04:29] <giggi> it says failsafe gnome
[04:29] <giggi> and such others
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> failsafe then
[04:29] <giggi> didnt work last time i tried
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> :/
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> giggi, whats your problem?
[04:29] <hybirdbe> bla ,  iam parting laterzzz
[04:29] <profanephobia> linux_ compiz --replace
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> Have you tried more coffee? Obviously that's wht I need ...
[04:29] <giggi> Cobra_Fast: added some apps to the gnome session manager, logged out - logged in and it crashes
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi, use failsafe gnome
[04:29] <ThatsMe> **asks again: now what in the console?**
[04:29] <jrib> hendrixski: ah ok
[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: that crashed last time
[04:29] <profanephobia> Cobra_Fast, he messed up his gnome session
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> then you go into Xterm save login, and run the gnome-sessionmanager-program
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi,  use recov mode from grub boot
[04:29] <jrib> ThatsMe: you are resetting a password?
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> dont actually know how its calles
[04:29] <ThatsMe> jrib: i'd like to get my account data
[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: i only got ubuntu up, it boots directly into it
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, it's one of those things that they kind of forgot to put into a lot of documentation :-/  I keep meaning to send a few patches to the documentation teams but never have the time
[04:29] <jrib> ThatsMe: what account data?
[04:30] <Nutubuntu> I noticed a weird crash on login last night and only figured out what it might have been when I started a K session instead: a corrupted jpg file on the Desktop that couldn't be thumbnailed. I deleted that but have not yet tried another Gnome session ... kinda liking KDE ;p
[04:30] <linux_> profanephobia , ts work but how i do all the d cube eddects ?
[04:30] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how to change the label on a hard drive?????
[04:30] <kauer> iratik: I told you *exactly* how it was supposed to work on a production system. If "www.domain.com" does not resolve using the information in /etc/resolv.conf, then you have to put your desired names into /etc/hosts. If your machine is reachable via the Internet, you now have a machine with a name different to the one it is known by on the global internet, if indeed it has *any* name on the global internet. This is generally a bad idea.
[04:30] <linux_> effects *
[04:30] <ThatsMe> jrib: i've just installed ubuntu text-based... but i can't remembering entering any user-data
[04:30] <Cobra_Fast> giggi: go to xterm save login and type gnome-session-properties

[04:31] <ThatsMe> kauer: please hold:P it's rebooting:\
[04:31] <profanephobia> Cobra_Fast,  whats the prob
[04:31] <Skif> that's from an ls of /var/lib/dpkg
[04:32] <Skif> I tried 'sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/available-old' but it won't do it.
[04:32] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how to change the label on a hard drive?????
[04:32] <Skif> keeps telling me "permission denied"
[04:32] <kauer> ThatsMe: It rebooted?!? On it's own!?!? Throw it away. Quickly. Get a new one.
[04:32] <PriceChild> Skif, DON'T delete things from /var/lib/dpkg !!!
[04:32] <Cobra_Fast> i want deskbar-applet to also search in subdirectories in my home-folder. it didnt change when i added thos paths into the beagle-settings
[04:32] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast, gorrz@gorrz-desktop:~$ gnome-session-properties
[04:32] <gorrz_> could not connect to the session manager
[04:32] <Skif> PriceChild: available-old is fine to delete, trust me.
[04:32] <animal> can anyone help me ?
[04:32] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast, it's giggi btw
[04:32] <PriceChild> Skif, on your head be it :)
[04:32] <Nutubuntu> !ask
[04:32] <Skif> PriceChild: anyway, it's apparently corrupted, so even if it weren't, which it is, I can't delete it.
[04:32] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:33] <Cobra_Fast> gorrz_: looks like you cannot change thos settings in xterm mode
[04:33] <profanephobia> animal, theres is no help for you.... lol whats the prob
[04:33] <ThatsMe> kauer: it returns: no such file or directory
[04:33] <animal> i have ubuntu 7.04 and i want to install beryl on it
[04:33] <animal> and i dont know how to begin
[04:33] <unagi> ugh beryl is so unstable =(
[04:33] <jrib> Skif: you might want to have fsck check the partition

[04:33] <profanephobia> animal http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/enable_compizfusion_in_ubuntu_feisty/
[04:33] <Cobra_Fast> unagi: tried compiz-fusion?

[04:34] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast,  well thats a bummer..  any other ideas?
[04:34] <profanephobia> animal, go there its better than beryl..... its beryl and compiz lol
[04:34] <unagi> is compiz-fusion what is embedded in ubuntu?
[04:34] <animal> and i dont know how to do this : "Youll need to add the beryl-project repositories to your sources list. You can do that by adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

[04:35] <linux_> profanephobia , the minimize and close bottom now are hide , how i can close windows ?
[04:35] <profanephobia> animal, and add that link to that file and save
[04:35] <ThatsMe> kauer: also, there is no user name that i remember in there... i'll try to login with root
[04:35] <kauer> ThatsMe: What does it look like - crap, or a directory listing?
[04:36] <fyrestrtr> Cobra_Fast: what is the problem?
[04:36] <alesan> isn't it possible to show such network menu only to the ones that have admin rights?
[04:36] <Nutubuntu> Is moving from 32bit to 64bit Feisty a reinstall, or is there another way to do that - if I wanted to? I'm not looking for advice on whether to, just if that's possible... curiosity.
[04:36] <fyrestrtr> alesan: remove the user from the admin group, then they can't do anything to change the network settings.
[04:36] <profanephobia> linux_ is it after you insdtall compiz
[04:36] <gorrz_> anyone know how the gnome-session-properties conf file is named / located ?

[04:37] <alesan> fyrestrtr, no, but a user without admin right can still disable networking
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> Cobra_Fast: it probably hasn't indexed them yet.
[04:37] <gorrz_> jrib, how can i change the settings without my gnome crashing on me ?
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> alesan: how?
[04:37] <ThatsMe> kauer: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/hash

[04:37] <alesan> fyrestrtr, clicking on the "enable networking"
[04:37] <RoundyT1> haha
[04:37] <gorrz_> jrib, i added some apps to it, loggedout/in and it crashes
[04:37] <Cobra_Fast> fyrestrtr: how can i tell him to index it?
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> alesan: you cannot enable networking unless you have admin rights.
[04:37] <alesan> or even enable/disable wireless
[04:37] <kauer> ThatsMe: But that looks like a line out of /etc/passwd, which you said didn't exist...?
[04:37] <jrib> gorrz_: ~/.config/autostart/  have you checked this?
[04:37] <unagi> if i install compiz-fusion and need to uninstall it.....is it easy to get desktop effects back?
[04:38] <Cobra_Fast> fyrestrtr: i added all paths i want to search to the beagle-settings

[04:38] <Nutubuntu> Another 32bit vs 64bit question: I'm running an AMD64 X2 processor. I installed 32bit Feisty. Some packages are identified as being compiled for the AMD64, and so far I have *not* installed any of them. Should I avoid them (do they mean, compiled for 64bit kernel, IOW)?
[04:38] <ThatsMe> kauer: "ls /home" doesnt return anything
[04:38] <fyrestrtr> alesan: I'll take your word for it.
[04:38] <alesan> fyrestrtr, you cannot change settings but enable/disable
[04:38] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast, no
[04:38] <ThatsMe> kauer: And i typed "cat etc/passwd" in stead of "cat /etc/passwd"
[04:38] <RoundyT1> I'm just wondering what kind of UPS i should buy for my ubuntu and my debian machine...not really familiar with the voltages and things. -----its a server...and it needs to have a battery backup...:-D
[04:39] <alesan> fyrestrtr, any idea how to disable that?
[04:39] <gorrz_> jrib, hold up
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> alesan: I'm sure the ubuntu in the workplace wiki tells you these things.
[04:39] <linux_> ok how i can stop compiz ?
[04:39] <zbadone> reboot
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> RoundyT1: that depends on how long you want to run it on battery.
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> RoundyT1: Bigger is better buy what you can afford.. are you in San Diego?
[04:39] <alesan> fyrestrtr, you mean wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[04:39] <Nutubuntu> RoundyT1, you might do better in #hardware - that's all I can guess at myself
[04:39] <kauer> ThatsMe: Somehow you seem to have made it through the install without entering a username and password for you to use. I really think it would be simplest to reinstall, and this time take note of the username and password you enter. If you are never asked to enter either, then I don't know what install you are using, but I can't help with it.
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> alesan: yes, there is something there talks about ubuntu in the workplace, and controlling settings, etc.
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> alesan: I found it searching for something else.
[04:40] <gorrz_> jrib, no such file
[04:40] <josue_m> hi,  feisty:  how to disable automount of NTFS volumes when ubuntu startup?
[04:40] <alesan> ok
[04:40] <profanephobia> linux_ open the system monitor and stop the process
[04:40] <ThatsMe> kauer: Okay, i'll first try to login with root root
[04:40] <RoundyT1> Jack_Sparrow, nope in in SD
[04:40] <zbadone> I just got sound working on my laptop (Toshiba a205-s4577) by upgrading to the newest ALSA, how do I prevent system upgrades from reinstalling the older version?
[04:40] <kauer> ThatsMe: No, wait.
[04:40] <ThatsMe> kauer: login with root works
[04:41] <ThatsMe> kauer: oh:P
[04:41] <linux_> profanephobia , ok but how i can do the effect ? ( now i have only bubble windows or something like this ) how i can make the cube effect ?
[04:41] <fyrestrtr> RoundyT1: ups are rated on how long they can power your components after power outtage, the longer you want to survive on battery, the more the ups costs.
[04:41] <jrib> gorrz_: well renaming ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* will probably let you login at least but your settings won't be loaded
[04:41] <esteem__> I have a standard terminal command (it's basically some CD'ing and some copying) i want it to automatically run in terminal when I click it. How do I do this?

[04:41] <profanephobia> linux_ i dont run it youll have to go to #ubnutu-effects

[04:42] <kost_> hey
[04:42] <esteem> fyrestrtr:  opnce i'm in profiles, what then?

[04:47] <zbadone> jean a lot of setup to just install 1 PC, if many, might be worth it
[04:47] <Jean11> hume, zbadone, I hnestly do not know. I am a Debian user and want to try ubuntu. I just need a netinstall but when I download ubuntu 7 it seems to be acting loke knoppix

[04:47] <jrib> esteem_: I reread your question.  What do you mean by "it"?  Your commands or your terminal?

[04:47] <stefg> !minimal
[04:47] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[04:47] <faileas> you can install it from it tho
[04:47] <hume> bauer, nope, & does not do it, I need to interact with the program and then disconnect, the & stops the interaction

[04:48] <Jean11> there is only one download at ubuntu.com Is there any other images

[04:51] <esteem> jrib:  ok here's the deal. I've made a trext document with some commands (which basically call DD to format a memory card).. Thing is, I have to copy and paste the text within the text (the commands) into terminal. I want to be able to click the text document, and then ti would automatically put all of the contents with in it (AKA, the commands) and then run these commands in terminal. A bit like having a script to make  n

[04:57] <kauer> Insane`KDE: Basically you need to set up the buttons for your mouse in the "InputDevice" section of xorg.conf for the mouse. There aren't that many combinations for most mice. Worl out each button one at a time - find out which button number represents your left click, then find the rest. Unfortunately a lot of trial and error. You could try googling for your mouse (or the mouse driver name" and "xorg.conf"...
[04:57] <Jean11> kitche: they are not, twinview is nvidia xinerama is the product of Panoramix

[05:01] <kauer> Insane`KDE: The buttons are basically numbers one through n from left to right. The Z axis is the scroll wheel. If the scroll wheel can click up and down or left and right as well as roll, those movements are "buttons" too. Some mice have lots of "buttons - 7 or 10! Unless you can find a specific howto for your mouse, trial and error is the only way that I know of. maybe someone lese has a better idea. But rewiring your touchpad is almos

[05:07] <aleksanteri> jrib: no, a .desktop file i made myself
[05:07] <animal> what does it mean <super>button3 ?
[05:07] <MSG4> stefg NTFS?
[05:07] <ipx> super == windows button, animal.
[05:07] <jrib> aleksanteri: ~/.local/share/applications/  for your user I believe
[05:07] <animal> wich are the keys ?
[05:07] <aleksanteri> ok
[05:07] <ipx> button3 seems like either the 3-button or the third mousebutton
[05:08] <kitche> Jean11: but fromw hat I see you have to use twinview to use nvidia's xinerama I never looked into it but I do have an nvidia card but it's not dualhead
[05:08] <ipx> which would be the wheel-button
[05:08] <aleksanteri> and /usr/share/applications for global :)
[05:08] <stefg> MSG4: might be related to your router . I guess your box is waiting for an IP handed out after a dhcp request
[05:08] <jrib> animal: <super> is the windows button on most keyboards
[05:08] <kitche> Jean11: it's mostly for dualhead cards you need twinview which is what you have correct?
[05:08] <jrib> animal: button3 is probably right click or middle click on your mouse, I forget which
[05:08] <Jean11> kitche: I will check the FAQ but at #nvdia noone actually said that.
[05:09] <stratjakt> gewah i cant get ldap working no matter what arr
[05:09] <MSG4> I c

[05:09] <stratjakt> why shouldnt a guy be able to copy conf files from a working gentoo box and have them just work?
[05:09] <animal> jrib it refers to the keyboard

[05:09] <ConfidentiaL> I can't seem to get "talk" or "ytalk" to work. I always get error about no daemon, although I installed both talk and ytalk through apt-get... Could someone help me?
[05:09] <stratjakt> actually better question is where can i turn on any sort of client side logging for nss_ldap
[05:09] <animal> because there is also <super>button4, and 5 and so on
[05:10] <marti149> how do you remove vmware-player - keep getting errors.http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32779/
[05:10] <marti149> here are my errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32779/
[05:10] <jrib> animal: afaik, <super> is the windows key on your keyboard and button# is a button on your mouse
[05:10] <stratjakt> weird it looks like everythings normal on the server side, but then slapd logs are absolute jibberish
[05:10] <stratjakt> oh well i'll fight it later, thx for the help folks
[05:10] <Nutubuntu> be well all, time to go
[05:11] <aidehua> I've got a debootstrapped system, and when I boot into it, just before I get the login prompt, my keyboard ceases to function.  Any hints?

[05:21] <SuperAngryFish> Hi, I have recently installed Ubuntu and it gets to a windows style loader screen, then once the bar has got to the end, it goes to a black screen and freezes on the black screen. Any ideas?
[05:21] <MrChicken> Hello
[05:21] <kitche> MSB$: yes http://dban.sourceforge.net/ is good shed will only overwrite files not the hwole drive at least according to it's man page
[05:21] <stefg> SuperAngryFish: your Xserver isn't configured right
[05:21] <MrChicken> I am running XUBUNTU, but I need to prevent non-admin users to shutdown the system. Can anybody help me?
[05:21] <Flannel> kitche: no, shred overwrites anything, including whole drives.

[05:22] <ubotu> SuperAngryFish: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:22] <kitche> Flannel: then the man page needs updated :) then
[05:22] <CheshireViking> !firewall | Lumio
[05:22] <ubotu> Lumio: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:22] <zero-9376> fan speed is still being controlled y cpu temp and i have lm-sensors letting me watch the temp but im afraid of leaving it running, btw im asking here because i cannot control fanspeed in software (linux driver problem) and this is the only place where i can talk to people knowledgeable in such areas
[05:22] <thavorn> how to force quit a application which hangs
[05:22] <Flannel> kitche: no it doesnt.  A drive is a file in linux.  If you read further down, it even mentions that, in the first paragraph of actual text, for instance.
[05:22] <MSG4> Flannel so then in terminal i type in shred -u
[05:22] <SuperAngryFish> stefg: Where do i go to type that?
[05:23] <CheeseGardener> What is the "lost+found" folder in an EXT3 drive??????
[05:23] <jrib> thavorn: type 'xkill' in a terminal, press enter, then click on the haning application
[05:23] <Lumio> CheshireViking ... thx

[05:26] <Beyond_The_Grave> I can't seem to find the one like windows version of apache
[05:27] <Vinchenzo28> whenever i use youtube or a flash plugin on firefox it always gives my mouse problems how can i change that
[05:27] <stefg> SuperAngryFish: you'd need to boot in recovery mode, this will get you to a text-mode interface. you log in, and enter sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. This lets you reconfigure your video settings. Have the spec's of your CRT ready
[05:28] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28,  are you 32bit tor 64bi
[05:28] <thavorn> how to tell ssh-server is turn on?
[05:28] <Vinchenzo28> profanephobia: 64
[05:28] <Beyond_The_Grave> What's a good gui for apache?
[05:28] <Vinchenzo28> should i get 32 bit firefox or somethin
[05:28] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28, thats why adobe hasnt made a 64bit flash yet it doesnt work right
[05:28] <Kasle> can anyone please tell me how to make a touchpad move faster?
[05:28] <ConfidentiaL> how do I go about making "talk" or "ytalk" work on feisty?
[05:28] <Flannel> Beyond_The_Grave: you really don't need a GUI for apache.  Any GUI you have would be nothing much more than a glorified text editor.
[05:29] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28, you can try installing the 32bit firefox with 32bit plugin or install the windows with wine
[05:29] <Beyond_The_Grave> that's fine with me, I was really talking about the one like in the windows version of apache, which is nothing more than a monitor...
[05:29] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28, nothing else really works
[05:29] <Beyond_The_Grave> But no wine please
[05:30] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how I can give myself writing permission to an EXT3 external hard drive?  I just formatted it and it says I don't have writing permission, and that "root" owns it.

[05:33] <CheeseGardener> ?

[05:33] <Big_Liar> Kasle, Can't you go to "Motion" and select your speed?
[05:34] <Pelo> MrChicken,  ppl in #xubuntu can probably direct you to the correct dialog box
[05:34] <Kasle> Big_Liar: no... nothing happends, but when i connect a mouse it is fast as hell
[05:34] <nasso> CheeseGardener, check this out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
[05:34] <x-code> i hope i find someone
[05:34] <stefg> MrChicken: that's a gdm configuration option. auntie google should know about that
[05:34] <Beyond_The_Grave> What does ant do?
[05:34] <x-code> here
[05:34] <Big_Liar> CheeseGardener, You need to ask a specific question if you want help.
[05:34] <CheeseGardener> Pelo it won't let me IM you.
[05:34] <jrib> nasso: lets say you 'su - user2', then you have to set the DISPLAY environment variable for user2 and as user1 you have to give user2 permission to use the screen (xhost +local:  is the easiest way but 'man xauth' as well)
[05:35] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  no I don'T allow it , ask in the main channel, If I see the need I will take you to pm myself
[05:35] <Kasle> !touchpad

[05:35] <Big_Liar> Kasle, Type in "touchpad" in Synaptic Package Manager, there's a number of different support packages.
[05:35] <Beyond_The_Grave> nvm, but nobody has any idea of a good gui for apache monitoring? (with no CLI or WINE)

[05:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vmemu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:35] <Pelo> Beyond_The_Grave,  maybe the ppl in #apache know of one
[05:35] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK, nvm...
[05:35] <nasso> jrib, oh. that seems complicated. maybe the ssh solution is easier then ;)
[05:36] <Pelo> x-code,  you need t ask an actual question
[05:36] <RainCT> how can I let Apache and MySQL start automatically on boot?
[05:36] <nasso> jrib, will check it out though. thanks!
[05:36] <x-code> ok
[05:36] <CheeseGardener> Pelo, i'm having a problem IMing you.
[05:36] <Pelo> RainCT, make a launcher and put it in /home/user/.config/autostart
[05:36] <CheeseGardener> But, my problem is what do I hate to put in console, to give myself ownership of my USB drive???
[05:36] <stefg> MrChicken: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/
[05:36] <x-code> WELL
[05:36] <RainCT> Pelo: would that run as root?
[05:37] <jrib> nasso: nah, just do 'xhost +local:' as user1.  Then do 'echo $DISPLAY' as user1.  Then 'su - user2' and 'export DISPLAY=FOOBAR' where FOOBAR is what it was for user1 and it should work
[05:37] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  I do not let ppl IM me,  I'm not using gaim anyway I'm using xchat,  talk to me in the this channel
[05:37] <Pelo> RainCT, add sudo to the command line
[05:37] <Big_Liar> CheeseGardener, What are you trying to plug into your USB drive?
[05:37] <x-code> HOW DO I MAKE CHAT INSIDE THE TERMINAL
[05:37] <x-code> ?
[05:37] <jrib> !caps | x-code
[05:37] <ubotu> x-code: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:37] <jrib> x-code: install irssi or bitchx
[05:37] <CheeseGardener> Nothing, I'm plugging the USB drive into my comp
[05:37] <CheeseGardener> I just reformatted it
[05:37] <Big_Liar> x-code, What is this "make chat", do you mean IRC?
[05:37] <thavorn> !init
[05:37] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto

[05:38] <x-code> wat do i do
[05:38] <x-code> ?
[05:38] <Pelo> x-code,   typethe name of the app to start it
[05:38] <jrib> x-code: irssi.org has good documentation for irssi
[05:38] <x-code> it will run under the terminal
[05:38] <x-code> ?
[05:38] <jrib> x-code: yes
[05:38] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  sudo chmod 777 /path  should talk care or it
[05:38] <Pelo> of it
[05:39] <hybirdbe> please give me priority iif possible , this is a pc for a customer :(
[05:39] <x-code> do i download that program with the add and remove package manager
[05:39] <Big_Liar> CheeseGardener, No comprendo, dude.  Be specific about your situation.
[05:39] <nasso> jrib, okay. thanks alot!
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> what is 777 for?
[05:39] <x-code> or go download it from a web site
[05:39] <jrib> CheeseGardener: sudo chown $USER: /path/to/your/mounted/partition    will give your user ownership.  What Pelo said will give everyone access, not just your user
[05:39] <stefg> CheeseGardener: you need a mount option in fstab and the right permissions on the mount point.if you don't mention the drive in fstab a simple reboot should fix it
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> Ok.
[05:39] <Pelo> hybirdbe,  what are you trying to do when you get this error ?
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> Ahh so who is right?
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> I got 3 different answers.
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> @_@
[05:40] <shekhar> hello can someone tell me what to do if my thinkpad is refusing to boot from the ubuntu install CD? it says that no operating system is on the CD...
[05:40] <Big_Liar> Don't listen to me, check out my nick.
[05:40] <hybirdbe> pelo > opening synaptic package manager
[05:40] <x-code> pelo
[05:40] <x-code> i know iam a bit stupid
[05:40] <Pelo> hybirdbe,  jsut opening it ? wow
[05:40] <x-code> but iam not good with linux
[05:40] <hybirdbe> yeah , wow indeed
[05:40] <jrib> CheeseGardener: it depends on what you want to do.  Though I think you do need to do either what Pelo said or what I said
[05:40] <x-code> and i dont know how to install software in it
[05:40] <Big_Liar> shekhar, Did you set up your BIOS to boot from the CD?
[05:40] <shekhar> Big_Liar, yes
[05:40] <stefg> CheeseGardener: all are right. depends on your scenario, and jrib has the orthodox answer
[05:41] <hybirdbe> damm :(:(
[05:41] <Big_Liar> shekhar, "it says that no operating system is one the CD" ... what is "it" ...?
[05:41] <Pelo> hybirdbe, did you mess with the sources.lst or anything else in the /etc/apt   folder ?
[05:41] <shekhar> Big_Liar, my thinkpad says this
[05:41] <Big_Liar> shekhar, Uh...
[05:41] <CheeseGardener> Well.... I think drive was set so I could plug it into ANY desktop
[05:41] <shekhar> Big_Liar, it's really strange
[05:41] <CheeseGardener> and it could be used.
[05:41] <x-code> how do i make amule get connected
[05:41] <x-code> ?
[05:42] <jdailey> I'm looking for help with setting up ruby on rails.   Had it working on Drapper Drake, upgraded to Feisty and have uninstalled and reinstalled mysql-server.   Various posts point to a CHOWN or CHMOD issue - but what I've tried hasn't worked.   I can start up the mySQL server  $mysqld and then it errors out (service stops) with a reference to the mysqld.pid.
[05:42] <CheeseGardener> It used to work so that if I plugged it in anywhere, it would open up.
[05:42] <hybirdbe> pelo > i just added a multiverse thing
[05:42] <Pelo> x-code,  I think you need ot get some servers, check the amule site
[05:42] <Big_Liar> shekhar, Without properly explaining your situation no one can help you.
[05:42] <jrib> CheeseGardener: windows won't read ext3 by default if you need that
[05:42] <RainCT> Pelo: going to try it, thanks
[05:42] <woodwizzle> I'm running64-bit feisty. How do I install flash?
[05:42] <x-code> how do i get bitch x
[05:42] <CheeseGardener> I know that lol
[05:42] <jrib> !flash > woodwizzle (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:42] <CheeseGardener> I need drivers for windows.
[05:42] <stefg> CheeseGardener: permissions... :-) you are not the owner of files or disks which were created on another box from another user (even if it was you in aphysical sense)
[05:43] <x-code> ?
[05:43] <Pelo> hybirdbe,  by editing the sources.list file ?  ok ,  restore the backup and try synaptic again,  you can enable multiverse from a dialog box in synaptic menues.  try doing it that way
[05:43] <jrib> !software > x-code (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:43] <CheeseGardener> Well, the old drive I had was NTFS
[05:43] <shekhar> Big_Liar, the situation is that i have a properly burned feisty install cd, and when i set my BIOS to boot from CD, the thinkpad says "Operating system not found"
[05:43] <hybirdbe> pelo > i used the menu!
[05:43] <CheeseGardener> and I could plug that drive into linux on any linux user and it would open
[05:43] <x-code> wat private massage
[05:43] <x-code> ?
[05:43] <CheeseGardener> and let me write to it with NTFS-3G
[05:43] <jrib> x-code: note that you need universe enabled to install bitch-x
[05:43] <Big_Liar> xcode, If you don't know how to get BitchX you're probably better off not getting it for right now and learning the GUI first.  ;)
[05:43] <Pelo> hybirdbe, I assume you tried restarting the computer ?
[05:43] <stefg> !permissions | CheeseGardener
[05:43] <ubotu> CheeseGardener: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:43] <hybirdbe> hell yeah , 3time in a row
[05:44] <Big_Liar> shekhar, Does it read the CD?
[05:44] <hybirdbe> you know , i am goin to c heck sometin
[05:44] <Pelo> hybirdbe,  disable multiverse and see what happens
[05:44] <hybirdbe> pelo> how synaptic stops when starting
[05:44] <jdailey> looking for help with mysql
[05:44] <shekhar> Big_Liar, yes it does, and it will read and boot from a WinXP cd, just not the feisty installer
[05:44] <hybirdbe> shekhar , did you burned the iso as bootable
[05:44] <shekhar> Big_Liar, i have burned two CDs to make sure

The printer shows up under cups, and on my computer, it appears that it's functioning correctly.

[05:56] <n00blett> I just need a way to write on live cd to ntfs partition. any help?
 Yes. Nothing listed there.
[05:56] <Big_Liar> n00blett, Writing to an ntfs partition is unstable.
[05:56] <Pelo> Stormx2,  open up the printer manager and delete all the waiting jobs,   then check the properties and make sure you have the correct port and stuff
[05:56] <n00blett> Big_Liar, i dont care about that
[05:56] <Pelo> jdailey,  that was my only idea,  try asking in #mysql , they might know
[05:56] <n00blett> if it crashes, then it crashes, if i dont try, i have to reinstall it anyways
[05:56] <Big_Liar> n00blett, Is the partition mounted?
[05:57] <n00blett> Big_Liar, it shows at the /media/wint00t/
[05:57] <EvanLugh> YAY
[05:57] <n00blett> i can read, not write
[05:57] <EvanLugh> That was hard
