[03:14] <drone_> got a couple questions relating to grub if anyone could possible help me...
[03:14] <Gnea> drone_: ask away
[03:14] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ: might be, most problably xorg.conf altered..
[03:14] <JoshJ> that's what i would assume... hrm
[03:15] <csky_max> JoshJ: If package scripts modify it, you should see the previous version there next to it
[03:15] <drone_> so I have a triple boot set up with xp, hardy, and centos 5. everything for xp and ubuntu works fine but when I installed centos I didn't install grub because I thought I could just add the entry to the one already there
[03:15] <drone_> unfortunately it doesn't seem to work that way
[03:15] <JoshJ> i see a "xorg.conf.20080805220736"
[03:15] <lee986321> hmm how about it might I hasve a taker on getting som help?
[03:15] <drone_> and now I'm lost as to how to get centos added to the grub
[03:15] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ: paste the files (names) from /etc/X11/
[03:15] <drone_> I mounted the drive its on and looked in the boot folder
[03:15] <csky_max> JoshJ: That looks likely, diff it against the current one
[03:15] <Penol> Can i use this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne for Linux Mint?
[03:16] <muppetexperienc1> csky_max: Same problem. Could we just get the xonfiguration script that comes with the installer and run it?
[03:16] <JoshJ> alraune, that and xorg.conf are the only two xorg.conf's
[03:16] <lee986321> http://paste.ubuntu.com/34595/
[03:16] <elijah> where is the feature set for INtrepid Ibex? I am having trouble finding it
[03:16] <drone_> but was weirded out to not find any initrd or kernel file
[03:16] <drone_> really strange
[03:16] <Penol> Can i use this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne for Linux Mint?
[03:16] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ:or  paste the files (content)
[03:16] <Pici> Penol: We do not support Mint here, you'll need to seek their support.
[03:16] <csky_max> drone_: I think you can just run update-grub on ubuntu and it should find the centos?
[03:16] <JoshJ> csky_max, no difference
[03:16] <Pici> !mintsupport | Penol
[03:16] <muppetexperienc1> Would the gentoo nvidia guide be relevant?
[03:16] <avis> i dont get mp3 playback in ubuntu.  i've installed w32codecs and gstreamer0.10-* this is a fresh install too.  any ideas ?
[03:16] <drone_> ok, I'll give that a try
[03:16] <csky_max> muppetexperienc1: I wish I knew the answer to that, I wanted it myself but ended up spending about an hour installing the base system and making coffee
[03:16] <drone_> thanks csky_max
[03:17] <orangepeelbeef> I can't seem to get ogg vorbis audio to play out my digital output  it shows ffmpeg has the codec but i don't hear anything
[03:17] <alraune> avis: amarok and mplayer ?
[03:17] <JoshJ> http://rafb.net/p/6avGFw88.html  <-- this is the xorg.conf
[03:17] <DEdwards> drone_, reinstall grub perhaps
[03:17] <JOEY_w> ubuntu wouldnt install on my new laptop. could someone please message me so i can send them a link to see if its compatible.
[03:17] <JoshJ> and the old xorg.conf shows no difference
[03:17] <lee986321> erg we really need a channel specific for the ps3 lol
[03:17] <avis> alraune, using totem or nautilus
[03:17] <huronking> Ok, my xorg.conf has nothing useful or specific. Is this just the way it is supposed to be in 8.04?
[03:17] <drone_> so reinstall grub from what, a live cd?
[03:17] <alraune> avis:try amarok and mplayer
[03:17] <JoshJ> drone_, there's athing called the "super grub disc" look into it
[03:17] <drone_> I have that
[03:17] <drone_> but it didn't seem to help
[03:17] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ:k, and the other (numbered one ?)
[03:18] <csky_max> muppetexperience1: at that point you would be best off using the ubuntu install cd and choosing to install same partition, keep /home when prompted - better than following other distro procedures.
[03:18] <dayone> i am trying fresh reinstall my ubuntu, but this time i want to install no extra software. is there a method at start of intstallation? I don't want any office tools, any games, anything and everything don't want to install. just want pure UBUNTU and all nessesary files and headers, and network tools and sound files... is there a way?..... when i am done i will only select want i want to install...........??
[03:18] <drone_> I'm sure it would if I knew what I was doing
[03:18] <JoshJ> alraune, no difference
[03:18] <drone_> haha
[03:18] <lee986321> eh how about vlc player?
[03:18] <Pelo> anyone know the min req for hardy ?  can it run on a  1.6 mhz ?
[03:18] <muppetexperienc1> csky_max: Maybe I'll just do a fresh install, but I don't want to waste a load of bandwidth installing everything again.
[03:18] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ:k, brb

[03:18] <Jordan_U> dayone: You can use the minimal / alternate install CD's to do that
[03:18] <axisys> anyone else having issue with installing ubuntu on vista using the selection of ubuntu cd 8.04 (aka wubi install) ?
[03:19] <avis> alraune, i already had amarok installed.  its not playing in that either
[03:19] <Pelo> thanks Pici
[03:19] <axisys> i dont see a grub menu
[03:19] <Pici> Penol: Sorry, I meant that for Pelo.
[03:19] <Penol> !desktop environments
[03:19] <csky_max> muppetexperienc1: Yes, I know, but one thing you can try for starters is boot off the live CD and see if its "autoconfig" even solves the problem.. Dinner time for me and best of luck to you
[03:19] <lee986321> I am running Xubuntu :)
[03:19] <Jordan_U> dayone: Do you want a GUI at all?
[03:19] <Penol> !Xfce
[03:19] <dayone> Jordan_U, there is no option on this ubuntu 8.04 cd?
[03:19] <muppetexperienc1> csky_max: Thanks. Could I just copy and paste these debs? Would that work?
[03:20] <muppetexperienc1> So I don't use laods of bandwidth...
[03:20] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[03:20] <JoshJ> i mean 800x600 does *fit*, but the whole reason this computer is running Ubuntu at all is because Windows ME got stuck in 800x600 and I couldn't get it unstuck... so this could be a problem and I may have to try a different distro if this one's gonna be broken :(
[03:20] <Jordan_U> dayone: No
[03:20] <bib> is their a free *nix shell that allows ssh redirect?
[03:20] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ:done (terminal) ?
[03:20] <JoshJ> alraune, both of those are already in
[03:20] <JoshJ> displayconfig-gtk is already the newest version.
[03:20] <csky_max> muppetexperienc1: i.e., if the live boot shows restricted manager, so should a reinstallation... And yes you could copy out /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb before wiping the system install
[03:20] <JoshJ> E: Package gksudo has no installation candidate
[03:20] <JoshJ> (but i can do gksudo so whatever)
[03:21] <dayone> Jordan_U, well then is there a method to run after fresh install to remove everything and just leave me ubuntu?
[03:21] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[03:21] <houmala> How do I change the "default" email client from evolution to thunderbird ???
[03:21] <muppetexperienc1> csky_max: Wonderful.
[03:21] <csky_max> then you could copy them back into /archives before running the updates, and it would skip downloading anything that was still newest
[03:21] <lee986321> josh carefull, ops could band if you post code
[03:21] <muppetexperienc1> Thanks, happy dinner.
[03:21] <alraune> ’╗┐ JoshJ:sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk        ,damn

[03:41] <xxploit> sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
[03:41] <nickrud> lee986321 ia32-libs are in the universe repo, and once you have them you'll have the -gtk as well (-gtk is a virtual package in hardy, ia32-libs provide them)
[03:41] <muppet_experienc> I solved my problem.
[03:41] <lee986321> ahhh ok eh wait I don't have hardy lol

[03:43] <lee986321> ahh ok
[03:43] <inbitado34> how do i install de nvidia driver then ? by synaptic or i download it from nvidia.com ?
[03:43] <nickrud> inbitado34 this is a fresh, new install?
[03:43] <LSD|Ninja> inbitado34: use the hardware drivers panel
[03:43] <LSD|Ninja> inbitado34: System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers
[03:43] <lee986321> Yeah nickrud I tried to upgrade and everything fell to pieces, the even recalled the PS3 hardy heron
[03:43] <alraune> ’╗┐ munk_:scrensaver ?
[03:43] <inbitado34> ok
[03:43] <akatsuki> hello
[03:43] <hellcattrav> hiya all
[03:43] <akatsuki> how can i check my ip address using terminal
[03:43] <LSD|Ninja> akatsuki: ifconfig
[03:43] <nickrud> lee986321 heck, it's not a supported bit of hardware, not suprised ;)
[03:44] <munk_> alraune, no i never enabled it and it says that there is no screensaver
[03:44] <Marvin_The_Robot> inbitado34, what card, and it should be in restricted drivers, just wenable it and then ,,, well some more if interested
[03:44] <lee986321> LOL, well YDL (yelow dog 5 as a fedor adventure
[03:44] <Marvin_The_Robot> inbitado34, i have the 8600GT, 6100go, 7300, 5200, and another around somewhere
[03:44] <inbitado34> is nvidia-glx-new  for gforce 6200
[03:45] <lee986321> but any way YDL was giving me fits literally, not to mention not many RPMS  and no upgrade to speak of..but this is off toipic so I won't say any more lol
[03:45] <hellcattrav> I created another user as my father and logged in to test it and nauitilous will not activate any of the folders and it says that I need to change permissions to allow nautilous to create the file  what could have caused this?
[03:45] <LSD|Ninja> inbitado34: the hardware drivers panel will take care of what drivers you need
[03:45] <lee986321> My Bigets Pet Peve is why there is no 32 bit versions
[03:45] <inbitado34> i alredy used the  nvidia-glx-new for this card    gforce 6200 agp
[03:45] <lee986321> of any of the major OS
[03:45] <inbitado34> even in opensuse
[03:46] <Marvin_The_Robot> inbitado34, do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[03:46] <inbitado34> but i did something in opensuse that now when i open hardy i have no root privileges
[03:46] <nickrud> hellcattrav  you mean, nautilus won't open any folders in your father's home dir, when logged in as your father?
[03:46] <lee986321> But I do hate to say this, My PS3 is more stable then my PC with linux lol
[03:46] <Guest89059> hey i'm new on ubuntu and i'm trying to get my wireless working on a dell inspiron 1530
[03:46] <nickrud> !rootsudo | inbitado34
[03:46] <Guest89059> 1520**
[03:46] <inbitado34> so i m installing hardy again and last time i installed the nvidia by envy way
[03:46] <hellcattrav> Nickrud correct
[03:47] <LetsGo67> bye Svenstaro and all
[03:47] <hellcattrav> I get some type of error message saying nauitlous doesnt have the permissions
[03:47] <inbitado34> no Marvin do i have to install them by  apt-get ?
[03:47] <nickrud> hellcattrav   ls -ld /home/<yourfather'snick>
[03:47] <hellcattrav> whats that do?
[03:47] <nickrud> hellcattrav it lists your father's home directory, and shows the permissions
[03:47] <Guest89059> hey i'm new to linux and i'm trying to get my wireless internet working on a dell inspiron 1520
[03:48] <lee986321> Beats head against wall, Nickrud,Id guess it would help if I enguaged the other links for the package manager to look for lol
[03:48] <Marvin_The_Robot> inbitado34, yes, and if that fails, the do sudo apt-get install upgrade sources.lst
[03:48] <hellcattrav> drwxr-xr-x 21 dad dad 4096 2008-08-05 22:42 /home/dad
[03:48] <zelrikriando> hi nickrud
[03:48] <lee986321> Erg Iam so..
[03:48] <nickrud> zelrikriando high
[03:48] <nickrud> hellcattrav now, ls -ld /home/dad/Desktop
[03:48] <Guest89059> hey i'm new on linux and i'm trying to get my wireless internet working on an inspiron 1520, can anyone help me
[03:49] <Marvin_The_Robot> the nvidia is  sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings   inbitado34
[03:49] <hellcattrav> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1107 2008-08-05 22:40 /home/dad/Desktop
[03:49] <inbitado34> no i can t even start the firestarter no root permisions
[03:49] <inbitado34> Marvin_The_Robot do i have to install nvidia-settings manually ??
[03:49] <inbitado34> ok
[03:49] <inbitado34> why su - doesn't work in ubuntu ?
[03:49] <LSD|Ninja> inbitado34: You don't have to touch apt-get, synaptic or whatever. Once you've installed Ubuntu, go to System -> Admin -> hardware drivers and it'll do all the hardwork fior you
[03:49] <nickrud> hellcattrav ah ha!.    sudo chown -R dad:dad /home/dad  Somehow the files/directories in your father's home are owned by root, rather than dad
[03:50] <ebzero> hello
[03:50] <hellcattrav> Oh
[03:50] <hellcattrav> Ok
[03:50] <evo> any idea how i can get rid of this high pitched squeal coming from the monitor?? only does it in this OS.
[03:50] <mike> hey i'm new on linux and i'm trying to get my wireless internet working on a dell inspiron 1520, can anyone help?
[03:50] <hellcattrav> thanks nickrud, is that take care of it?
[03:50] <evo> happens when I open a window
[03:50] <nickrud> hellcattrav should. The chmod -R dad:dad will change the ownership of every file and directory in your dad's home dir to him.
[03:51] <alraune> !wireless |’╗┐mike:
[03:51] <drone_> wow, that really sucked
[03:51] <inbitado34> i was in opensuse, i asked for help to mount my ubuntu hd, i did what they tell me , and also add a command like this:  chwon -R:user /media/unbutu  something like that, and lost my root privileges in hardy i couldn't do nothing
[03:51] <nickrud> hellcattrav however, since somehow they got changed (had to be done manually, by the way) there may be other problems
[03:51] <Mike1234> hey i'm new on linux and i'm trying to get my wireless internet working on a dell inspiron 1520, any help??
[03:51] <drone_> so I still can't boot into centos from grub
[03:51] <bazhang> Mike1234, we need the chipset
[03:51] <hellcattrav> Ok, thanks nickrud, I'll change over and check
[03:51] <drone_> its driving me crazy
[03:51] <bazhang> drone_, perhaps ask in centos channel then
[03:52] <scrambledegg> when creating keys in seahorse,   RSA is listed as a "signing only" algorithm...  is this a bug?
[03:52] <bazhang> #centos drone_
[03:52] <ebzero> can some one help me with smplayer? I'm having an issue where, whenever I open a video file it plays the audio but the video freezes and the controls get greyed out but still work
[03:52] <alraune> !patience|mike
[03:52] <nickrud> drone_ are you the guy with the uuid issue?
[03:52] <drone_> I believe so
[03:52] <Mike1234> bazhang: what chipset?
[03:52] <bazhang> Mike1234, the wifi chipset
[03:52] <cdj26> bazhang: how do i find that
[03:53] <drone_> I was only asking about the grub issue here because I'm primarily an ubuntu user and I'm using the grub that the ubuntu installer setup
[03:53] <nickrud> drone_ yeah, you got flooded out :)   You need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the kernel line for centos to the right uuid.  sudo blkid will show all disk partition uuid's
[03:53] <dexter> Hey
[03:53] <ebzero> however the same video plays just fine in mplayer
[03:53] <dexter> What do you people use for skype?
[03:53] <boyercb> irc.what.cd
[03:53] <drone_> oh ok
[03:53] <Mike1234> cdj26: how original your name is
[03:53] <bazhang> !grub | drone_ read this
[03:53] <wols_> drone_: you need to manually edit your menu.lst to be able to boot centos too in addition to ubuntu
[03:53] <scrambledegg> anyone? :S
[03:53] <hellcat--> nickrud, Hey it worked thanks
[03:53] <bobertdos> Mike1234: In the case of a Dell, I'd just recommend going to the website and downloading the latest driver for the wireless card so you can try it with ndisgtk (the graphical frontend for ndiswrapper).
[03:53] <ebzero> I've found out that if I switch to a video output that doesn't work and then switch back to one that does work it restarts the file and plays as normal
[03:54] <nickrud> hellcat-- you sound suprised ;(P
[03:54] <dexter> What do you guys use as a skype client?
[03:54] <hellcat--> not so much just syaing thanks
[03:54] <cdj26> bazhang: how do you determine the wifi chipset
[03:54] <ebzero> then when I go to open the file again the original issue reappears
[03:54] <hellcat--> dexter, skype
[03:54] <nickrud> hellcat-- a joke :)
[03:54] <hellcat--> :)
[03:54] <drone_> I was trying to manually edit the menu list, but usually when I go to do that I get the info from mounting the drive that the new os is on, and getting the info form the boot folder
[03:54] <wols_> drone_: there is only skype and nothing else for that network. no other client exist for any OS
[03:54] <bazhang> cdj26, pci or usb
[03:54] <wols_> dexter: ^^
[03:54] <hellcat--> right folks I'm going back down the rabbit hole to appear as the other me
[03:54] <fulat2k> hi folks, i'm planning to buy a Dell Vostro 1510 to use with Ubuntu.  Anyone having any issues with compatibility with this model?
[03:54] <dexter> ok
[03:54] <dexter> thanks
[03:55] <alraune> n8, everybody
[03:55] <drone_> its just weird that in the centos boot folder on the partition I put it on, there's only weird files that dont work when I use them in the grub menu
[03:55] <cdj26> bazhang: im unsure: its a laptop lol
[03:55] <lee986321> soy daying to igy you, yes down load the envioment that you found and when a blue screen comes up asking you if you want the as your defualt that will be up to you , but you
[03:55] <ebzero> are you using a pcmcia card?
[03:55] <bazhang> cdj26, try lspci then but dont paste here; paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[03:55] <paolo> hi *. Which filesystem is more suitable for backup?
[03:55] <lee986321> want to say yes to all
[03:55] <cdj26> bazhang: from yahoo answers, it is Intel's latest 4965AGN wifi link
[03:56] <LSD|Ninja> paolo: zfs
[03:56] <nickrud> drone_ change the uuid for now, that was the error grub was throwing up earlier. Until you get that right, you can't move on to any other steps needed
[03:56] <drone_> they all end with .el5xen
[03:56] <archangel74> good night
[03:56] <drone_> oh ok
[03:56] <lee986321> eerg phen and 2 ims I am sh0rting out
[03:56] <paolo> LSD|Ninja: why? not xfs?
[03:56] <bazhang> cdj26, does ifconfig show 2 entries or three
[03:56] <lee986321> eh phone
[03:56] <LSD|Ninja> paolo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Snapshots_and_clones
[03:57] <cdj26> http://paste.ubuntu.com/34605/
[03:57] <paolo> LSD|Ninja: thanks
[03:57] <Matt123> I know this should go into Windows, but no one is helping. I want Vista to let me shrink the main partition more.
[03:57] <nickrud> drone_ oh, those look like xen stuff ;(
[03:57] <wols_> Matt123: if they don't help, it's still no #ubuntu question. ask ##windows
[03:57] <LSD|Ninja> paolo: of course, zfs isn't really practical under Linux. You can thank RMS for that.
[03:57] <Part`> hi.
[03:57] <cdj26> bazhang, one sec
[03:58] <paolo> LSD|Ninja: why?
[03:58] <pundo> Matt123: Vista only lets you shrink so much, if you want to shrink more you'll probably have to use a 3rd party proggie like partition magic
[03:58] <Part`> have any of you experiences with belinea's nootebooks?
[03:58] <wols_> LSD|Ninja: fyi sun made it intentionally GPL incompatible out of their own wish. it's also not up to RMS what license the kernel is under
[03:58] <Matt123> How about this: Can I use the live cd to safely shrink my windows partion more than vista will late me?
[03:58] <cdj26> bazhang i have 4: eht0, lo, wlan0, wmaster0-00
[03:58] <Matt123> let*
[03:58] <Ahadiel> Matt123, Have a look at the gparted live cd
[03:58] <pundo> Matt123: no
[03:58] <bazhang> cdj26, you have a wifi spot to test with?
[03:58] <cdj26> bazhang: ignore my paste
[03:58] <cdj26> bazhang, yes
[03:59] <bazhang> cdj26, what does sudo dhclient wlan0 return
[03:59] <LSD|Ninja> wols_: GPL is his baby though
[03:59] <wols_> LSD|Ninja: has nothing to do with ZFS and the kernel tho
[03:59] <Matt123> pundo, ahadiel just suggested the live cd, why won't that work?
[03:59] <LSD|Ninja> wols_: also, the BSD licence has no problem cooperating with CDDL
[04:00] <bazhang> !ot
[04:00] <pundo> Matt123: resizing a windows partition with any live CD has major risks of damaging that partitoin
[04:00] <wols_> LSD|Ninja: BSD is not a Sun competitor. Linux is the main competitor of solaris...
[04:00] <bazhang> gpl and other talk to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:00] <pundo> Matt123: I suggest picking up partition magic or something like it for that
[04:00] <Matt123> ok thanks
[04:00] <wols_> bazhang: how about the same standard for windows vista talk?
[04:01] <Ahadiel> Matt123, http://digg.com/software/GParted_Live_CD,_like_Partition_Magic_for_free
[04:01] <cdj26> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34606/
[04:01] <pundo> I've heard good things about gparted...but never used it personally
[04:01] <drone_> so for the kernel line in the grub menu, I just put UUID= and then the sequence of things I got from blkid?
[04:02] <bazhang> cdj26, you need to associate your ap
[04:02] <cdj26> bazhang; over my head, is that hard to do
[04:02] <nickrud> drone_ yes. that would identify where the kernel is
[04:02] <Matt123> thanks ahadiel
[04:02] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 cdj26 take a quick look here first
[04:03] <Ahadiel> Matt123, I've never had problems with gparted and ntfs yet.
[04:03] <drone_> alrighty, thanks. I'm gonna reboot and give it a shot
[04:03] <bazhang> cdj26, not hard at all
[04:03] <cdj26> bazhang: the wifi is unsecured
[04:03] <scrambledegg> anyway, i've reported it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/255196
[04:03] <bazhang> cdj26, easier to test with open ap but all will work (hopefully)
[04:03] <Matt123> yeah, ahadiel, the windows people finally responded and they said gparted is ok
[04:03] <Matt123> thanks guys
[04:03] <munk_> screw
[04:04] <pundo> Matt123: g'luck
[04:04] <cdj26> bazhang: just copy the commands under unencrypted?
[04:05] <FAJALOU> my friend is running compiz-fusion and emerald on ubuntu 8.04.1, but he cannot import any emerald themes... is there any known bugs why this is happening?

[04:05] <nickrud> wweasel ask in #bash :)
[04:05] <bazhang> wweasel, #bash
[04:05] <cdj26> bazhang: what is interface, just type it how it is?
[04:06] <wweasel> nickrud: bazhang:, thanks

[04:06] <bazhang> cdj26, in your case wlan0
[04:06] <nickrud> !ot | COBOL1
[04:06] <bazhang> cdj26, you should know the ap name

[04:06] <bazhang> COBOL1, not here
[04:06] <Kohlrak> It's an odd request, and might even against some ethics, but if some one were to suggest a p2p client for ubuntu other than DC++ and Amule, what would it be?
[04:06] <bazhang> cdj26, no that is the router access point name
[04:07] <psykidellic> Okay, so my new roommate has an old comp with a non-working CD drive. His windows is running shitty and I want to install Ubuntu for him. I looked into Google and found various tutorials. Which method would you guys suggest the easiest?
[04:07] <cdj26> bazhang: like what appears in the dropdown if the wireless was working?
[04:07] <bazhang> !p2p | Kohlrak
[04:07] <nickrud> Kohlrak you might ask for some advice in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:08] <bazhang> psykidellic, no cursing
[04:08] <intreq> how is every one doing?
[04:08] <Kohlrak> Thanks
[04:08] <nickrud> !install | psykidellic (the usb, or the tinyurl)

[04:08] <gkffjcs_> hey all, where dose ubuntu store the default wall paper?
[04:08] <bazhang> psykidellic, usb if his computer supports booting from cd
[04:08] <bazhang> err usb
[04:09] <bazhang> cdj26, you do know the ap name, right? like cdj26_access_point or some such
[04:09] <drone_> well, that didn't work. the grub threw an error saying something about a direct path name
[04:10] <cdj26> like LitchfieldRouter
[04:10] <bazhang> cdj26, put that in quotes

[04:12] <lee986321> !pastebin
[04:12] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 you have the live cd running? You should be able to go to places on the menu, and mount a drive there
[04:12] <crashsystems> I'm trying to use ssh to bind localhost port 5900 to remote host port 5900 using the -L parameter, but cannot seem to get the syntax right. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Here is what I've been doing: ’╗┐ssh -l username -L 5900:<IP_ADDRESS>:5900
[04:12] <_DogiDog_> wie gehts
[04:12] <cdj26> bazhang: same thing
[04:12] <luz3r> Sup everyone.
[04:13] <Maxwell23498> nickrud:how?
[04:13] <Maxwell23498> Nickrud: which menu?
[04:13] <Maxwell23498> Nickrud:N-B that this is in Xfce
[04:13] <lee986321> Ok I think I am going to trhow in the towel for tonight nickrud but this is waht I got when I tried it  per the websight
[04:13] <lee986321> http://paste.ubuntu.com/34609/
[04:13] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 the main menu on the top bar. You should see apps, places ...  xfce. Ok, terminal time ;(
[04:13] <nickrud> :) I mean
[04:13] <Maxwell23498> Yes :'
[04:13] <Maxwell23498> :'(***
[04:13] <bazhang> cdj26, what does iwconfig show
[04:14] <Tazbobu> I have been trying for a couple months since I installed hardy to get my NVIDIA driver to work... I have tried envy, the restricted hardware drivers, nothing seems to work.  It says the restricted drivers are running currently, but it will not allow me to choose any resolution other than 640x400 or 800x600.. and it won't let me run nvidia-settings
[04:14] <nickrud> lee986321 enable universe
[04:14] <crashsystems> hmm, no takers I guess.
[04:14] <nickrud> lee986321 but those things I gave you were hardy, if you're on something else ...
[04:14] <sravan> i am unable to mount my external  derive..
[04:14] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 ok, what partition is your data on?
[04:14] <mylogic> does anyone know of any good resources for installing apache2 with ASP support? mod_mono is not liking me right now...
[04:14] <FAJALOU> Tazbobu: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers:  Enable
[04:14] <Maxwell23498> It's on a whole drive.
[04:14] <Maxwell23498> nickrud: it's on a whole drive
[04:14] <lee986321> ooooohhhh hewwww ergles lol
[04:15] <Maxwell23498> nickrud: sda IIRC
[04:15] <cdj26> http://paste.ubuntu.com/34610/
[04:15] <lee986321> hmm Ill see if hardy will load and run on the ps3 lol
[04:15] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 but it's going to be a partition, probably sda1 then.  do sudo fdisk -l , and see if sda only has sda1 associated with it
[04:15] <Tazbobu> FAJALOU: You obviously didn't read my WHOLE message... it says IN USE
[04:15] <lee986321> but, I tired 4x lol
[04:15] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: you could try installing the drivers from nvidia's website
[04:15] <FAJALOU> Tazbobu: but is it enabled?
[04:15] <FAJALOU> is the box ticked
[04:15] <Tazbobu> Yes
[04:15] <Maxwell23498> Mmmk
[04:15] <nickrud> lee986321 you can identify the libs by searching on packages.ubuntu.com
[04:16] <Tazbobu> square: tried that
[04:16] <lee986321> ah ok
[04:16] <FAJALOU> Tazbobu: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[04:16] <sravan> i am unable to mount my external device
[04:16] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: then i'm guessing you tried editing xorg.conf?
[04:16] <cdj26> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34610/
[04:16] <Tazbobu> FAJALOU: tried that as well
[04:17] <nickrud> sravan is it an ntfs drive?
[04:17] <COBOL1> hello please send me viruses perferbable cross scripting or Binary executable files but anything is ok including spyware worms trojans whatever
[04:17] <Maxwell23498> nickrud: done
[04:17] <COBOL1> thank u]
[04:17] <Tazbobu> square: anything in particular?  I tinkered with it to no avail
[04:17] <COBOL1> !!!!!!!!!!
[04:17] <muesli> hey guys
[04:17] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 is it sda1 ?
[04:17] <bazhang> cdj26, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "litchfeildrouter"
[04:17] <Maxwell23498> nickrud I think so.
[04:17] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: putting just the resolution you want under modes
[04:17] <sravan> nickrud, it's ntfs drive
[04:17] <FAJALOU> Tazbobu: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[04:17] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 put the output of  sudo fdisk -l   on paste.ubuntu.com
[04:18] <muesli> i just installed ubuntu on a usb stick and encrypted the root filesystem. now booting up i noticed that it first tries to mount the encrypted root, before it actually detects sdb as a filesystem
[04:18] <ebzero> can some one help me with smplayer? I'm having an issue where, whenever I open a video file it plays the audio but the video freezes and the controls get greyed out but still work
[04:18] <ebzero> however the same video plays just fine in mplayer
[04:18] <ebzero> can some one help me with smplayer? I'm having an issue where, whenever I open a video file it plays the audio but the video freezes and the controls get greyed out but still work
[04:18] <nickrud> sravan most likely you had a bad unmount; try mounting it in windows
[04:18] <muesli> can i somehow force the kernel to first check for all avail filesystems / partitions and then try to decrypt the root?
[04:18] <ebzero> can some one help me with smplayer? I'm having an issue where, whenever I open a video file it plays the audio but the video freezes and the controls get greyed out but still work
[04:18] <ebzero> ...
[04:18] <Maxwell23498> nickrud done
[04:18] <ebzero> whoops
[04:18] <ebzero> then when I go to open the file again the original issue reappears
[04:18] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 now, give me the link so I can see it :)
[04:19] <cdj26> bazhang: then what
[04:19] <Maxwell23498> nickrud http://paste.ubuntu.com/34611/
[04:19] <MrVirus> ok.. for some reason i've goine totaly blank..ubuntu is a debian base correct
[04:19] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: under screen section, under display subsection, put just the mode you want, ex "1280x1024@60"
[04:19] <sravan> nickrud , i am not using windows... i got Ubuntu only
[04:20] <bazhang> cdj26, iwconfig wlan0
[04:20] <utnubudnai> hey all,I have difficult to connect a remote mysql database!here is the wrong message!
[04:20] <Tazbobu> square: it lists all the modes there but only the 2 are available
[04:20] <utnubudnai> Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2).
[04:20] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 ok, it looks like you have two linux data partitions. to see them both, do   sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 . You can see the data in /media/sda1 and sdb1
[04:21] <cdj26> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34612/
[04:21] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: so get rid of all of the ones you don't want, save, and restart X... it's worked for me, at least.
[04:21] <nickrud> sravan ok, you can try   sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/<externalpartition> /mnt , that should force the mount.
[04:21] <Tazbobu> square: ok i'll try.. thanks
[04:21] <bazhang> sudo iwconfig <interface> mode Managed cdj26
[04:22] <alanpan> does anyone know where should i put the theme file
[04:22] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: no problem.
[04:22] <bazhang> cdj26, sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
[04:22] <cdj26> bazhang: no return
[04:23] <bazhang> alanpan, system prefs appearances themes tabs drag there
[04:23] <LTSP> muesli: what recipe did you use to get ubuntu to boot off the USB (do you have a link)?  I've got a usb stick I've tried installing (as if hard drive) but no luck,
[04:23] <nickrud> alanpan normally you can go to system->prefs->appearances, and drag the theme onto the window. You will probably need to hit the customize button to see the theme (not many metathemese out ther)
[04:23] <bazhang> cdj26, now the iwconfig wlan0 again
[04:23] <Maxwell23498> nickrud when I'm trying to view the contents of the HD, should it be really fucking slow at loading?
[04:23] <muesli> LTSP: just used the normal alternative installer
[04:23] <bazhang> Maxwell23498, no Cursing
[04:23] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 keep in mind this is a disney g rated channel
[04:23] <earthling> how can i change the time on my gutsy without effecting the BIOS time
[04:24] <nickrud> Maxwell23498 and no, unless the partition is damaged
[04:24] <Maxwell23498> Oooh, I love teh Latin there.
[04:24] <Maxwell23498> Mmmk.
[04:24] <bazhang> !language | Maxwell23498
[04:24] <Maxwell23498> It's working!
[04:24]  * Maxwell23498 kisses nickrud
[04:24] <DogBoy> heh
[04:24]  * nickrud thinks getting cursed is better than getting kissed
[04:25] <peeps_> how can i install COD4 on linux?
[04:25] <Wanderer> ugh, where's the BSOD screen saver?
[04:25] <cdj26> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34613/
[04:25]  * DogBoy wonders how no cursing makes it family friendly
[04:25] <cdj26> bazhang: no change i believe
[04:25] <concretesledge> i changed my resolution
[04:25] <sravan> nickrud, it say's no such directory or files
[04:25] <LTSP> muesli: normal gui liveCD with the "install" off the initial text screen or the actual "alternate" install CD (text based).
[04:25] <Flannel> DogBoy: It doesn't, but it's a part of it.
[04:25] <nickrud> DogBoy many parents of the kids that hang out here appreciate clean language
[04:25] <muesli> actual alternate install cd
[04:26] <bazhang> cdj26, there was a change; try the sudo dhclient wlan0 once more
[04:26] <russ> How can I stop gnome from starting Rhythymbox whenever I plug in my ipod?
[04:26] <DogBoy> I agree with the no cursing, but I wouldn't equate it with family friendly
[04:26] <LTSP> muesli: thanks, I'll have to download and try that next.
[04:26] <earthling> when i change the time settings on my box the windows time settings get busted and when i change it in windows the linux time settings get effected.. an suggestions pleas :(
[04:26] <muesli> LTSP: that part really worked fine
[04:26] <nickrud> DogBoy heh. maybe not a perfect factoid, you can suggest a better one :)
[04:26] <DogBoy> was that a factoid?
[04:26] <nickrud> !ubottu | DogBoy
[04:27] <MrVirus> ubuntu is a debian based OS correct.. i'm having a blonde moment
[04:27] <juano__> what solution is there for shockwave flash ? (other than crossover or wine)
[04:27] <nickrud> MrVirus your blonde isn't too dumb then
[04:27] <cdj26> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34614/
[04:27] <DogBoy> guess it depends on who's family we're talking about
[04:27] <mmcji> howdee, anyone done any custom keymapping for vmware server console on ubutnu server?
[04:28] <MrVirus> ok kewl.. ty nick.. any one know where i can find a deb package for gyachi?
[04:28] <MrVirus> i've hunted and found nothing yet
[04:28] <muesli> basically i'm trying to load usb_storage as early as possible
[04:28] <bazhang> cdj26, do you have your router set for MAC filtering? or is the essid hidden
[04:28] <muesli> anyone got an idea where to put it best? (no i'm not afraid of editing my own initrd)
[04:28] <earthling> anyone?
[04:29] <cdj26> bazhang: not sure, maybe
[04:29] <nickrud> earthling gksu gedit /etc/defaults/rcS , find the UTC= line, change it to no
[04:30] <earthling> k. thanks..
[04:30] <bazhang> cdj26, could you pastebin lsmod output to paste.ubuntu.com please
[04:30] <Devourer> How do I restart ALSA?
[04:30] <MrWizeGuy1983> um, i have a sansa mp3 and video player and it only detects it if i have it plugged in when ubuntu starts, how can i make it detect it anytime i plug it in?
[04:30] <buu> Hey, I'm using fairly standard ubuntu/gnome, is there any program I can use that will let me pop an alert, a semi-modal dialog box that appears on top of the windows and contains some sort of message?
[04:30] <obx> sounds like a job for lib-notify
[04:30] <nickrud> earthling what's happening is windows expects the hardware clock to be set to your time zone, whereas linux usually assumes it's set to Universal time
[04:30] <bazhang> buu, in what situations
[04:31] <cdj26> bazhang: if it is mac filtering would that be the only problem, that i need to add my mac address to the router
[04:31] <russ> How do i control what application starts when I plug in my ipod?
[04:31] <DogBoy> MrWizeGuy1983, did you look at the setting in nautilus
[04:31] <DogBoy> same for you russ
[04:31] <bazhang> cdj26, that or the hidden essid bug
[04:31] <MrWizeGuy1983> setting for what DogBoy ?
[04:31] <nickrud> buu zenity can be used from a bash script
[04:31] <DogBoy> for what you're asking about?
[04:31] <DogBoy> hehe
[04:31] <DogBoy> in edit/preferences/media
[04:32] <MrWizeGuy1983> wasn't aware there's a setting for media in nautilus, one sec
[04:32] <Devourer> !alsa
[04:32] <cdj26> bazhang: the mac address wouldnt change if i moved from windows to linux though right?
[04:32] <DogBoy> I know, that's why I mentioned it
[04:32] <bazhang> cdj26, no
[04:32] <ogre> is there an official wubi channel? I'm trying to install it on my work machine but wherever is hosting the setup files is down
[04:32] <cdj26> bazhang: cause it is visible and i can connect to it in vista
[04:32] <earthling> nickrud : yeah.. figured it was something like that but had no idea what to do next though.. thanks ...
[04:32] <Devourer> bazhang, how do I restart ALSA?
[04:32] <russ> DogBoy, i've looked for a nautilus setting but can't find it
[04:32] <cdj26> http://paste.ubuntu.com/34615/
[04:32] <ogre> !wubi
[04:32] <cdj26> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34615/
[04:32] <DogBoy> russ, I can't read your mind
[04:33] <MrWizeGuy1983> DogBoy, it has nothing in relation to what i'm looking for
[04:33] <DogBoy> if you can be more specific maybe I can help
[04:33] <juano__> what solution is there for shockwave flash ? (other than crossover or wine)
[04:33] <nickrud> juano__ nothing
[04:33] <DogBoy> which is what again MrWizeGuy1983
[04:33] <Flannel> juano__: flash is fine, shockwave isn't.
[04:33] <nickrud> juano__ complain to adobe ;)
[04:33] <juano__> nickrud: ahh thought maybe somethin came up for it these days
[04:33] <juano__> Flannel: good point
[04:34] <MrWizeGuy1983> DogBoy, trying to get the driver to load for my sansa media player
[04:34] <russ> DogBoy, that's ok I read yours - figured it out thanks!
[04:34] <bazhang> cdj26, also lspci to paste.ubuntu.com
[04:34]  * nickrud wishes people could read his mind sometimes
[04:34] <ishkur_> the the lamers in #ubuntu-server are being less than helpful
[04:34] <ishkur_> so!
[04:34] <ishkur_> quick question, im trying to setup a VM in Virtualbox. what is the kernel that comes with Ubuntu SE <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[04:34] <MrWizeGuy1983> for some reason it loads the driver and works if i have it plugged in when i start ubuntu, but it doesn't show up when i just plug it in, any ideas DogBoy ?
[04:35] <DogBoy> I have a sansa MrWizeGuy1983
[04:35] <DogBoy> works fine
[04:35] <bazhang> !attitude | ishkur_
[04:35] <MrWizeGuy1983> you use 64 bit DogBoy ?
[04:35] <cemicolin> i am copying directories to a new linux machine, but sure what to move, so far i'm saving the desktop, etc and user
[04:35] <DogBoy> well, mine has rockbox on it
[04:35] <Gnea> nickrud: that'd be asking for trouble. ;)
[04:35] <nickrud> ishkur_ 2.6.24
[04:35] <DogBoy> so maybe not the same as yours
[04:35] <evo> ishkur_: !
[04:35] <cdj26> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34616/
[04:35] <DogBoy> why would I use 64 bit
[04:35] <nickrud> Gnea my conscience is clean ;)
[04:35] <ishkur_> thank you nickrud
[04:36] <MrWizeGuy1983> DogBoy, i don't know what rockbox is, i have the sansa fuze 4gb
[04:36] <juano__> ishkur_: if people here are lame then why do you ask for help?
[04:36] <Gnea> nickrud: just don't turn into the crazy german kid
[04:36] <ishkur_> not here, #ubuntu-server
[04:36] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff cdj26 it is broadcom not intel
[04:36] <DogBoy> I don't know what a sansa fuse is
[04:36] <ishkur_> 104 people, not one answer
[04:36] <mylogic> I just setup mysql on my ubuntu server and why is there a user called debian-sys-maint with such powerful permissions created by default?
[04:36] <cemicolin> dogboy: use google
[04:36] <juano__> ishkur_: google is your friend
[04:36] <DogBoy> I don't care what a sansa fuse is
[04:37] <cdj26> bazhang: sorry i just copied that from yahoo answers
[04:37] <MrWizeGuy1983> DogBoy, the sansa fuze is a mp3 and video player, it's relatively new, just got it
[04:37] <ishkur_> yes, it is, a am aware of this!
[04:37] <DogBoy> I heard about google though cemicolin, but thanks
[04:37] <bazhang> cdj26, no worries, that link can get you going in 5 minutes or so
[04:37] <juano__> ishkur_: :)
[04:37] <ishkur_> thanks for reminding me of the painfully obvious!
[04:37] <ishkur_> BUT!
[04:37] <ishkur_> i am having an issue
[04:37] <juano__> ishkur_: which is?
[04:37] <cdj26> bazhang: thanks a lot, sorry for all the trouble
[04:37] <Gnea> ishkur_: and that would be?
[04:37] <ishkur_> im getting a boot error, and i need the correct kernel module
[04:37] <DogBoy> oh that's different, I think
[04:38] <Gnea> ishkur_: can you pastebin it?
[04:38] <bazhang> ishkur_, coming in here and calling people lamers is not the right way to get help.
[04:38] <DogBoy> you got a new sansa and it's not seeing it unless on boot
[04:38] <Gnea> bazhang: i think we're past that stage now.
[04:38] <MrWizeGuy1983> i have it set to msc on the usb mode DogBoy and it loads that way if it's plugged in when i start ubuntu, otherwise it won't detect it at all
[04:38] <ishkur_> #ubuntu is fine, #ubuntu-server is my issue
[04:38] <Gnea> or not.
[04:38] <ishkur_> this kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu: 0:6 unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu
[04:38] <ishkur_> i need the correct 2.6.24-* module
[04:39] <nickrud> ishkur_ what cpu do you have?
[04:39] <ishkur_> Intel celeron m
[04:39] <MrWizeGuy1983> ishkur_, are you trying to run a 64 bit linux on a 32 bit chipset?
[04:39] <DogBoy> you might ask in #rockbox-community MrWizeGuy1983
[04:39] <MrWizeGuy1983> celeron m is 32 bit
[04:39] <MrWizeGuy1983> thanks DogBoy
[04:39] <ishkur_> runs fine as a non-vm
[04:40] <juano__> ishkur_: see MrWizeGuy1983 comment ^^
[04:40] <Gnea> ishkur_: and what kernel are you booting, exactly? 2.6.24-what?
[04:40] <ishkur_> problem is that i have the wrong kernel module for VirtualBox
[04:40] <buu> nickrud: Thanks.
[04:40] <MrVirus> would i need to mount a cdrom to read the packages from it?
[04:40] <Gnea> ishkur_: out of curiosity, have you asked in #vbox or on the virtualbox forums?
[04:41] <cemicolin> what directories do i have to move to save my user on a new install of ubuntu?
[04:41] <Gnea> MrVirus: yes.
[04:41] <juano__> MrVirus_: yes, at least mount it read-only
[04:41] <ishkur_> ok! here is exactly what is going down on my computer, yo. im installing Ubuntu SE as a guest OS in VirtualBox, i installed the wrong modules for the guest kernel, and now its pitching a fit.
[04:41] <ishkur_> so!
[04:41] <nickrud> MrVirus yes, but if you plan on using an alternate cd as a repository, you should use   sudo apt-cdrom add
[04:41] <Gnea> juano__: cdroms can be mounted read-write?
[04:41] <MrVirus> i'm tryin to find a package i was told might be on teh install media..
[04:41] <juano__> Gnea: ;) lol, how one gets distracted these days
[04:41] <ogre> is there an official wubi channel? I'm trying to install it on my work machine but wherever is hosting the setup files is down
[04:42] <nickrud> MrVirus what package?
[04:42] <MrVirus> gyachi
[04:42] <ishkur_> Meh, fuck this. imma install BSD./quit
[04:42] <Gnea> juano__: the absurd randomness is never boring :)
[04:42] <juano__> Gnea: :) :)
[04:42] <nickrud> MrVirus it's not on any ubuntu media
[04:43] <MrVirus> Nick : i've got the tarball but i'm not sure what i'm doing to get it installed
[04:43] <Gnea> wow, definately an attitude problem.
[04:43] <juano__> LOL BSD? good luck... cant even install ubuntu SE, don't think hge gonna get far with BSD...
[04:43] <nickrud> MrVirus ah, you plan on compiling it?
[04:43] <MrVirus> Nick : if i knew how to .. i would
[04:43] <nickrud> !compiling | MrVirus (and read the README and INSTALL files in the tar ball)
[04:43] <russ> !search gtkpod
[04:43] <Gnea> never know, he might already be better acquainted with BSD.. most BSD users don't usually take too well to linux very well
[04:44] <Tazbobu1> Ok, tried setting only the resolution I wanted in xorg.conf and restarted xserver.. still doesn't work.. still won't let me run nvidia xserver settings
[04:44] <MrVirus> i like gyachi.. but i cant seem to find a deb package installer.
[04:44] <russ> !search audio
[04:44] <juano__> Gnea: hehe
[04:44] <cemicolin> simple question: what directories hold my settings and apps so i can move them to my new install
[04:44] <punkrockguy318> how do i get the log in irc?
[04:45] <bazhang> !clone | cemicolin
[04:45] <bazhang> cemicolin, also consider aptoncd
[04:45] <Gnea> cemicolin: typically, i'll put /home on its own mountpoint so that i can just refrain from formatting it on a reinstallation

[04:45] <nickrud> punkrockguy318 for xchat, you would enable it at settings->prefs->logging, and find the logs in ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[04:46] <punkrockguy318> nickrud: i mean can you get like the last 25 messages in a channel from an irc command?
[04:46] <nickrud> yeah, clone with a separate partition (and a few select /etc files) makes for painless reinstalls
[04:46] <nickrud> punkrockguy318  you can do /lastlog <nick>
[04:46] <Tazbobu1> And when I go to screen resolution it never recognizes my monitor
[04:46] <nickrud> punkrockguy318 other than that, I'm clueless ;)
[04:46] <cemicolin> if i told you that i was switching from an ubuntu partition to wubi would that change things?
[04:46] <Snaffle> im running ubuntu atm
[04:47] <cemicolin> i just hate grub :P
[04:47] <nickrud> punkrockguy318 for your info, irclogs.ubuntu.com logs this channel for reference
[04:47] <Snaffle> on my powerbook
[04:47] <punkrockguy318> nickrud: ok
[04:47] <Tazbobu1> squarebracket: any other ideas?
[04:47] <nibsa1242b> what is a simple program to use to transcode 2min from a (home made) DVD recording to a file easier to watch and send to friends?
[04:47] <Switchcat> Greetings
[04:47] <Gnea> i've never used wubi, so I can only guess that it could read a real ext3 partition
[04:48] <Tazbobu1> getting tired of living at 800x600 on a 24" monitor....
[04:48] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: avidemux
[04:48] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 what video card do you use?
[04:48] <nibsa1242b> Gnea: thanks, trying that now
[04:48] <Tazbobu1> nvidia 8400gs.. worked great until I got hardy
[04:48] <Switchcat> Q: Whats an easy way to install previous versions of a program?  (Preferrably other than a CLI command) I am trying to figure out where something broke (the current xconq crashes, and I assume because it's a game it wasn't thoroughly tested) I'd like to step through it's previous versions/installs till I find the one that works
[04:49] <ome> I made a folder in root using sudo mkdir /folder ... How to I change permissions for this folder so it can be accessed by a website?
[04:49] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new , and system->admin->hardware manager , choosing nvidia should do the job. Supposed to, anyway
[04:49] <Guest95801> heya
[04:49] <Guest95801> Hows everyone doin tonight?
[04:50] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 if you do that, and you still have low rez, put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on paste.ubuntu.com and point me at it
[04:50] <elijah> does flash suck on ubuntu for everyone else or is it just me?
[04:50] <Guest95801> It sucks foreveryone
[04:50] <crimsun> elijah: it sucks period.
[04:50]  * nickrud uses flashblock
[04:50] <Guest95801> [(status)]
[04:50] <Guest95801>  [(status)]
[04:50] <Guest95801> er..
[04:50] <Guest95801>  [(status)]
[04:50] <Khisanth> it's mostly fine for me
[04:50] <nickrud> Guest95801 ???
[04:50] <Guest95801> sorry mate
[04:50] <bobertdos> ’╗┐elijah: Hehe, yes it frequently sucks, but 10 has actually worked wonders for me.
[04:50] <Gnea> !ot | Guest95801
[04:51] <rockenrola> Switchcat: synaptic can install previous versions of any package
[04:51] <bobertdos> ’╗┐elijah: It really varies from system to system.
[04:51] <nickrud> having more than 5 or 10 tabs open, with random flash stuff really sucks
[04:51] <elijah> bobertdos, i am using 10 alpha 2
[04:51] <Khisanth> nickrud: but that is why you have flashblock :)
[04:51] <Switchcat> rockenrola - and so HOW do I do it?
[04:51] <nickrud> Khisanth yep
[04:51] <bobertdos> ’╗┐elijah: and in what ways is it sucking?
[04:51] <elijah> ok, well that confirms it then, still have work to do in that arena
[04:52] <elijah> stuttering and sound sync issues
[04:52] <Khisanth> but for that it sucks the same everywhere
[04:52] <elijah> my cpu is maxed out as well
[04:52] <Tazbobu1> nickrud: yup already did all that.. trying to paste but the site isn't loading
[04:52] <bobertdos> ’╗┐elijah: :p typical of flash, I'll admit
[04:52] <elijah> but my xorg uses 20-50% when idle
[04:52] <elijah> another bug
[04:52] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 any pastebin will work, pastebin.ca forexampel
[04:52] <Khisanth> poorly created flash sucks everywhere :)
[04:52] <elijah> it will be soo nice when that aspect is nailed!
[04:52] <Khisanth> poorly created programs sucks everywhere :)
[04:53] <rockenrola> Switchcat: open synaptic, choose the package, and under Package->Force version (ctrl +E)
[04:53] <nickrud> Khisanth which is why nearly all programs suck in some way
[04:53] <elijah> have you guys seen aurora concept video from mozilla? this is the video i am having major lag from
[04:53] <elijah> this is pretty slick technology http://adaptivepath.com/aurora/
[04:54] <Tazbobu1> nickrud: http://pastebin.ca/1093475
[04:54] <bobertdos> Still, I try to show the adobe programmers some leniency. You have to remember, they're under no corporate obligation to give us current flash. I was monitoring their blogs when they were first attempting flash 9, and it was a tough road.
[04:54] <Switchcat> rockenrola - force version is currently greyed out... do I have to uninstall first?
[04:55] <nibsa1242b> Gnea: avidemux seems complicated... recommends to use mplay to do a dvd dump first, but the command doesn't work
[04:55] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 ok, the problem is you are using the failsafe xorg.conf, see line 23.
[04:56] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 now to try to find the underlying problem...
[04:56] <rockenrola> Switchcat: that sould be because there are no other versions in hardy
[04:56] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: it's pretty simple: file->open  select file, let it do its indexing thing.  don't forget to follow a tutorial.
[04:57] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: it's not a drag 'n drop like windows movie maker is, but it can do a LOT
[04:57] <nibsa1242b> Gnea: I am following a tutorial, but it had me doing all kinds of other things instead of file->open
[04:57] <Tazbobu1> nickrud: ok...
[04:57] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: you need to find a tutorial that matches closest to what you want to do
[04:58] <nibsa1242b> Gnea: I don't need it to do anything complicated. DVD has already been edited down on the DVD recorder to only 2min. I just want to take that clip and transcode it into something I can e-mail to friends.
[04:58] <msshams> ’╗┐i write this line to my crontab. but i dont know why it don't execute?!
[04:58] <msshams> 10 * * * * /etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart; /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart; echo "restarted" >> /root/qmail.log
[04:59] <elijah> bobertdos, yeah i agree, it will be nice when it is nailed but I am not complaining
[04:59] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: just change the video/audio to something that would go good in an AVI container, calculate and save it
[04:59] <rockenrola> msshams: try to break it into several lines
[04:59] <elijah> will be nice when Xorg is fixed too
[05:00] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 I'm not an nvidia expert, so I'm looking for some decent info
[05:00] <owen1> (xfce question) i can't see borders around windows (where the minimize button is). when i click on the 'window manager' setting i get this message: "these setting can't work with your current window manager (unknown)"  any idea?
[05:01] <bobertdos> It's like the bot says. Almost everyone who makes a contribution to the Linux community is a volunteer and we have to respect that.
[05:01] <Tazbobu1> nickrud: thanks
[05:01] <nibsa1242b> Gnea: yeah... now I'm running into a problem. the dvd recorder didn't actually delete anything so there is 6 hours of footage on the DVD, and I have to search for the 2min I need.
[05:01] <nibsa1242b> Gnea: I wish I could just use VLC to transcode, as it recognizes the edits the recorder made, and only shows the 2min clip.
[05:02] <nickrud> Tazbobu1 lets try one thing:    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , and then restart your desktop (ctl-alt-backspace, save any open programs first)
[05:02] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: that's about the time that i concatonate all of the .vob files into one, open the .vob file in avidemux, and just drag the bar till i find it ;)
[05:03] <teamcobra> is it possible to do multiple sessions w/ diff  users using sshvnc?
[05:03] <Tazbobu1> nickrud: k brb
[05:03] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: cat file_003.vob >> file_002.vob && cat file_002.vob >> file_001.vob, open file_001.vob
[05:03] <nibsa1242b> Gnea: thanks
[05:03] <Gnea> nibsa1242b: it's time consuming, but it works *shrug*
[05:04] <Xpistos> Does anyone know where in Hardy vmware vms live?
[05:05] <Gnea> Xpistos: could you please be a bit more specific? vmware doesn't come with hardy by default..
[05:05] <alpinestr> anyone knows what this could mean, i cannot start voice control
[05:05] <alpinestr> The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_VoiceControlApplet".
[05:06] <Xpistos> Sorry. I did an install from source, but now I can't remember where the virtual machine fines would be and I want to make sure I am deleting them
[05:06] <Xpistos> I installed Virtualbox
[05:06] <Xpistos> Yeah Freedom
[05:06] <redhat_> ohai angusb
[05:06] <Gnea> Xpistos: have you tried ~/vmware or /var/lib/vmware/ ?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Couldn't you just cat file_00{2,3} >> file_001 ?
[05:06] <Xpistos> Gnea: let me check
[05:07] <Gnea> Jordan_U: dunno, never did it that way
[05:07] <Tazbobu> nickrud: no go... still the same deal
[05:08] <nickrud> Tazbobu ok, after some research it looks like your card is not supported by the ubuntu drivers. Is this an 8600gs?
[05:08] <red> So my laptop keyboard doesn't work under X, but it works in console.  And I checked Xorg.0.log (with and without -longverbose 7) and neither of them so much as mention my keyboard.  Any thoughts?
[05:08] <Tazbobu> nickrud: 8400gs.. and it worked fine with feisty and gutsy... only stopped working when I installed hardy
[05:09] <nickrud> Tazbobu what all methods have you tried?
[05:09] <Gnea> Jordan_U: oh sweet
[05:09] <geev8> hi 2 all
[05:09] <jimmmym> Hi, anyone know how can I make my laptop suspend after 2 hours...Right now in power management it only goes up till 1 hour
[05:09] <Xpistos> Gnea: No such luck. what are the odds that uninstalling it wipped out the virtual machines as well
[05:09] <rockenrola> jimmmym: any reason for the 2 hours?
[05:09] <Tazbobu> nickrud: tried envyng, tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new.. tried the nvidia driver that is preinstalled..
[05:10] <Gnea> Xpistos: difficult to tell... tried locate .vmx ?
[05:10] <Xpistos> Gnea: I tried using the Disk usage analizer gui but that doesn't make any sense, telling me I have 90gb left on a 250 gb drive when my drive is only 160 total
[05:10] <Jordan_U> Is there a CLI for network-manager?
[05:10] <Gnea> Xpistos: lol
[05:10] <luz3r> Maybe the disk analizer is showing the other file systems ?
[05:11] <Hobbsee> red: that's a bad idea.
[05:11] <luz3r> Or maybe something else.
[05:11] <Hobbsee> red: it's specific to intrepid, and people here won't know.
[05:11] <nickrud> Tazbobu I'm in over my head with this nvidia thing then. Jack_Sparrow, when he's around, has made a point of learning nvidia
[05:11] <Gnea> Jordan_U: network-admin
[05:11] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: you know you're falling back to vesa, right?
[05:11] <luz3r> Did you right click on properties on file system and see what nautilus tells you about your drive use ?
[05:11] <Jordan_U> red: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid
[05:11] <jimmmym> rockenrola: yeah, i wanna watcha movie before going to bed...but just in case I fall asleep i want it to suspennd.. :)
[05:11] <Switchcat> ugh, I gotta register to file this simple bug/broken package
[05:12] <red> I already tried #ubuntu+1.  Is this an Ibex specific problem?
[05:12] <Xpistos> Gnea: Naa.  No luck with the .vmx either. Thanks for the ideas though. I will probably keep looking for a bit and then give up
[05:12] <Gnea> Switchcat: that's right, none of that anon BS
[05:12] <Tazbobu> square: I assume so but why does ubuntu think the restricted hardware driver is running?
[05:12] <ogre> is there an official wubi channel? I'm trying to install it on my work machine but wherever is hosting the setup files is down
[05:12] <geev8> your help please i hav ubuntu 8 and i hav installed XAMPP i dont know where i can setup security for it
[05:12] <Gnea> Xpistos: find / -name "*.vmx"
[05:12] <Hobbsee> red: yes, it is.  there was a solution mentioned about server flags yesterday, in #ubuntu+1.  look it up.
[05:12] <Gnea> Xpistos: (sudoified)
[05:13] <Gnea> !wubi | ogre
[05:13] <squarebracket> Tazbobu: i've had nothing but trouble with the restricted drivers manager. i had the same problem. your driver is still set to nvidia in xorg.conf right?
[05:13] <jimmmym> is there a command that suspend usuntu from terminal?? then I can jjust type sleep 120m && whatever command to suspend here
[05:13] <rockenrola> jimmmym: well, you could use shutdown for that. must it be suspend ?
[05:13] <Xpistos> Gnea: sudoified! LOL!
[05:14] <jimmmym> rockenrola: no shutdown will work for now
[05:14] <Gnea> jimmmym: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410570
[05:14] <red> Hobbsee: I appreciate the help.  Where would I look that up, though?  I mean, I assume you can't look it up on IRC
[05:14] <Gnea> Xpistos: hehe
[05:14] <jimmmym> rockenrola: what command shutdowns from terminal...and does it need to be in sudo?

[05:15] <Hobbsee> red: you're welcome, and just remember - ask intrepid questions in +1~
[05:15] <Gnea> geev8: most system-wide changed can be made within the /etc directory
[05:15] <Gnea> *changes
[05:15] <rockenrola> jimmmym: it needs sudo I think. use like this: "sudo shutdown 120"

[05:17] <nickrud> Agent_bob #xubuntu usually has some experts around for xfce

[05:18] <bullgard4> Some person is annoying me by sending a blinking private message. What channel should I use to inform Freenode officials?
[05:18] <Hobbsee> bullgard4: #ubuntu-ops or #freenode
[05:18] <Gnea> paolo: to boot separately or running together at the same time?
[05:18] <unop> bullgard4, #freenode
[05:19] <bullgard4> Hobbsee: Thank you for your information.
[05:19] <nickrud> bullgard4 #ubuntu-ops if they're in channel
[05:19] <Xpistos> Gnea: I found two .vmx files, but they are on my windows partition, so I guess i got it
[05:19] <Gnea> Xpistos: awesome
[05:19] <Gnea> bullgard4: are they in the channel?
[05:20] <Agent_bob> nickrud a simple /whois would have told you i was already there
[05:21] <greencookie> hello
[05:21] <nickrud> Agent_bob too much work, and 90% of the time people never heard of the channel. But I've seen your nick here before, should have realized you were clued in
[05:21] <greencookie> just installed hardy heron. everything works cept for my wireless internet. it connects to my wlan but i cant open any page.
[05:22] <Gnea> !wireless | greencookie
[05:22] <Agent_bob> nickrud heh,  k      and the only answer i have gotten from #xubuntu so far was a  "reboot will fix anything"  nub answer.
[05:22] <Gnea> greencookie: check that out and if you can't make heads or tails of it, come on back

[05:23] <MrVirus> is there any form of a package or lib that help ubuntu support xml doc's
[05:23] <paolo> Gnea: boot separately
[05:23] <paolo> Gnea: but my guess would be that it could be possible to mout them ro ,right?
[05:24] <Gnea> paolo: sharing /home should be fine, but i would keep /etc separate
[05:24] <Gnea> paolo: nah, /home should be rw
[05:24] <paolo> Gnea: yes, I was saying /etc and /home separately ... all the rest of / together
[05:24] <paolo> Gnea: yes, /home is rw
[05:24] <Agent_bob> why have no ircops canned<EMAIL_ADDRESS>yet ?
[05:24] <Gnea> paolo: you could run into trouble with /etc that way, but yes, it could be done...
[05:25] <Gnea> Agent_bob: because you haven't reported him to #freenode
[05:25] <paolo> Gnea: why trouble?
[05:25] <Agent_bob> Gnea you not getting any pm spam from it ?
[05:25] <Gnea> Agent_bob: i don't get pm's from unregistered users
[05:25] <bullgard4> Gnea: Yes, one Ubuntu activist at least is active in the channel #ubuntu-ops.
[05:25] <greencookie> Um.. i try dhclient -r wlan0 and it tells me wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 .
[05:26] <nickrud> Agent_bob there's a lot of spamming going on, but they aren't camped in #ubuntu. #freenode tracks those guys
[05:26] <Gnea> bullgard4: *nod*
[05:27] <Agent_bob> nickrud yeah i said ircops not chanops  but joining this channel started his spam campaign  on my client
[05:28] <tazbo> nickrud: oh I also tried to install the latest driver from nvidia's site but it won't let me because it said something about the compiler version used to compile my kernel (gcc 4.1) not matching.. and it said to change the environment variable to match
[05:29] <greencookie> could someone help me figure out how to get my connection working? its connected to my LAN but dhclient -r gives me "no working leases in persistent database -sleeping"
[05:29] <Gnea> greencookie: make sure the clip isn't hanging out
[05:30] <greencookie> huh>?
[05:30] <greencookie> lemme check my cables
[05:30] <greencookie> it works fine on windows xp
[05:30] <kaiwen> hi, I'm trying to do an internet share connection, I'm using a crossover cable to do this, problem is, I cannot get the two machines to ping each other.
[05:31] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: did you set the ips to be on the same subnet?
[05:31] <kaiwen> both systems are running ubuntu
[05:31] <kaiwen> yes.
[05:31] <rockenrola> greencookie: try and use static ip
[05:31] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: are you sure the crossover cable is good? :)
[05:31] <kaiwen> it's new
[05:31] <Agent_bob> kaiwen same subnet ?
[05:31] <kaiwen> wow look at all this spam
[05:31] <greencookie> rockenrola: how would I do that?
[05:31] <kaiwen> yes, <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:31] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: are you sure it is a crossover cable and not just a regular one?
[05:31] <kaiwen> Yes I"m sure.
[05:31] <Gnea> kaiwen: it's only spam if it's offtopic and unhelpful :)
[05:32] <kaiwen> no i got this.
[05:32] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: that's the subnet /mask/. what are the IPs that you set for the two?
[05:32] <Gnea> greencookie: have you made any changes to the network config files?

[05:32] <kaiwen> this person is spamming me
[05:32] <kaiwen> ok.
[05:32] <kaiwen> ok let me get them.
[05:32] <mrtech> does anyone know to install third party linux programs
[05:32] <Starnestommy> kaiwen: which nick?
[05:32] <Gnea> kaiwen: who?
[05:32] <greencookie> Gnea: nopes. fresh install of 8.04.
[05:33] <Gnea> greencookie: only 1 nic on the system?
[05:33] <kaiwen> KiredKite and Air_Raid_Pin
[05:33] <kaiwen> ok
[05:33] <Agent_bob> Gnea the nick changes with each post.   only the ip is static
[05:33] <Vegombrei> hi .. which is the best client for msn ?
[05:33] <Moth> someone kick Taylor_Roncancio for spamming
[05:33] <Gnea> Agent_bob: very interesting.
[05:33] <Starnestommy> Moth: he's not in here so he can't be kicked, but he will likely be banned
[05:33] <greencookie> yep. I had archlinux on it earlier. but same problem..it would connect to my network and iwconfig would show its got a signal but can't ping anything!
[05:33] <Gnea> !pidgin | Vegombrei
[05:33] <kaiwen> so, <IP_ADDRESS> for the ubuntu laptop that is connected to the internet, pc2, which is also running ubuntu, has an ip of <IP_ADDRESS>

[05:33] <Agent_bob> Moth watch the ip that the spam is comming from.  the nick changes
[05:34] <kaiwen> pc2 is using a crossover cable to connect to my laptop.
[05:34] <nico35-> hola
[05:34] <Gnea> kaiwen, Moth: /join #freenode and tell them about it.
[05:34] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: that seems ok... can you see if the little lights on the NICs light up when you plug in the cable (just to make sure the connection is actually made?)
[05:34] <RequinB4> !es
[05:34] <kaiwen> yep, all green
[05:34] <RequinB4> Spambot?
[05:35] <emsa> i.m using acer 3683. how to use the webcam orbicam
[05:35] <wisekingle> hello
[05:35] <RequinB4> !hi | wisekingle
[05:36] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: hm so... and ping just times out? and both nics are "up"?
[05:36] <kaiwen> it shows this for both
[05:36] <kaiwen> Destination Host Unreachable
[05:36] <rockenrola> greencookie: about the static ip, check this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[05:36] <kaiwen> I try to ping, laptop, it shows that, i try to ping pc2, it shows that.
[05:36] <wisekingle> i love ubuntu so much
[05:37] <wisekingle> it's great OS
[05:37] <wisekingle> :))
[05:37] <rockenrola> I don't get the purpose of the spam
[05:38] <Agent_bob> rockenrola he's just intertaining himself
[05:38] <wisekingle> sorry, because it's the first time i chat with IRC
[05:38] <greencookie> thnx rockenrola: but id rather try getting dhcp to work 1st cuz its a public wireless network
[05:38] <rockenrola> Agent_bob: you said you don't receive pm from unregistered users. how?
[05:38] <kaiwen> hmm... portscan shwos nothing on pc2
[05:39] <Starnestommy> rockenrola: usermode +E
[05:39] <Agent_bob> rockenrola no. i didn't say that.
[05:39] <greencookie> the wierd thing about my connection is for the first 5-10 seconds i can ping anything. then it just drops out.
[05:39] <wisekingle> !list
[05:39] <rockenrola> someone else then
[05:39] <greencookie> then no internet connection whatsoever :(
[05:39] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: what does route -n show?
[05:40] <kaiwen> wait
[05:40] <JoEpaY> hi
[05:41] <JoEpaY> KaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKa
[05:41] <kaiwen> for PC 2 it shows Destination: <IP_ADDRESS> Gateway <IP_ADDRESS> Genmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:41] <wisekingle> @find LUM
[05:42] <Agent_bob> kaiwen i asked earlier if they were on the same subnet.    you obviouxly didn't understand!    are both boxen  on the 192.168.5.* <<< subnet ?
[05:42] <kaiwen> Agent_bob yes
[05:42] <kaiwen> if you're talking about both ip addresses, yes they are
[05:42] <Agent_bob> kaiwen ok cause you can't ping 192.168.0.*  from  192.168.5.*
[05:43] <JoEpaY> :)
[05:43] <kaiwen> it's werid, route -n doesn't show the configurations I used for both computers
[05:43] <kaiwen> both computers output the same route-n as I said above

[05:43] <JoEpaY> @find slipknot
[05:43] <joejoecircusboy> (12:42:54 AM) Agent_bob: kaiwen ok cause you can't ping 192.168.0.*  from  192.168.5.*  << You know, there is this thing called 'routing' :P
[05:44] <kaiwen> joejoecircusboy. both IPs have 192.168.5.*

[05:47] <Gnea> !spam | MichaelXin
[05:47] <kaiwen> ok so here is what I have so far, ethernet ports all have their green lights, laptop has IP <IP_ADDRESS>, pc2 connect to laptop through crossover cable, has IP <IP_ADDRESS>, the subnetmask is <IP_ADDRESS> for both the broadcast is <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:47] <Moth> fail
[05:47] <kaiwen> for both. Both don't ping each other.
[05:48] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: firewall check?
[05:48] <kaiwen> how can I check the firewall?
[05:48] <joejoecircusboy> kaiwen: Does each arp table have the other PC's MAC address?
[05:48] <nickrud> poor MichaelXin being called a spammer ;)
[05:48] <kaiwen> no, i don't think so?
[05:48] <Gnea> oh man
[05:48] <Gnea> MichaelXin: sorry about that :)
[05:48] <greencookie> lol
[05:48] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: well, did you install a firewall? try "sudo iptables --list" to list all firewall rules
[05:48] <joejoecircusboy> kaiwen: Do an 'arp -a' on the host doing the pinging, see if it resovled the other PC's MAC address
[05:48] <Gnea> Jack's got me one-upped
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[05:49] <kaiwen> nope
[05:49] <kaiwen> nothing
[05:49] <kindofabuzz> i had errors on a hard drive on my server.  ran fsck, rebooted, got the login, then fsck started again by itself.  but server is up.  is that normal?
[05:49] <kaiwen> from the laptop.
[05:49] <kaiwen> let me check pc.
[05:49] <joejoecircusboy> kaiwen: What does arp -a output?
[05:50] <kaiwen> (<IP_ADDRESS>) at <incomplete> on eth0
[05:50] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: well... here's a quick test: can you plug one of the comps into a router (rather than the other comp), with the same cable, and see if you get the regular ip configuration going. if so, then you've got a straight cable rather than a crossover.
[05:50] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: was it a system-partition that was being fscked?
[05:50] <joejoecircusboy> kaiwen: cabling/hardware/drive issue then
[05:50] <joejoecircusboy> *driver
[05:50] <kaiwen> therealnanotube, this is a crossover, bought from radioshack, it works windows to windows
[05:50] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: the fsck that i ran or the one it's running now?
[05:50] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: that one it's running now
[05:50] <joejoecircusboy> kaiwen: What driver is loaded?
[05:51] <kaiwen> for?
[05:51] <joejoecircusboy> the network interface
[05:51] <kaiwen> I'm not sure, how can I check?
[05:51] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐kindofabuzz:  i believe that is auto-check feature, after so many logins/logouts it will do that automatically
[05:51] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: to tell you the truth i can't tell
[05:51] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: ps axf | grep fsck
[05:51] <jeeves__> is there a good site to see compatable TV capture cards and satellite tuners?
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !tv
[05:51] <joejoecircusboy> kaiwen: hmm... search the output of 'dmesg'  for something related to eth0
[05:51] <Agent_bob>      issue    when i launch xfce4, it comes up with the default background and panels but then the panels vanish, and right click does nothing.     i can alt+f2 run xfce4-panel and get them back.    but nothing seems
[05:52] <Agent_bob> to be sticky.   any thoughts on why ?
[05:52] <kaiwen> ok i'm doing a dmesg | grep eth0
[05:52] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: 4798 pts/0    S+     0:00              \_ grep fsck  whatever that means
[05:52] <kaiwen> it shows like
[05:52] <kaiwen> link is not ready
[05:52] <joejoecircusboy> kaiwen: It may not be the same line... (may be the one before or after)
[05:52] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: ah i see. ok... do both computers connect to the net when you just use a straight cable to connect to a router (this will test to make sure that both NICS are operational)?
[05:52] <kaiwen> for eth0 which is the ethernet port i'm using
[05:52] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: hrm, it means that it's not fscking anymore
[05:52] <Agent_bob> sorry about splitting that.
[05:53] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐Agent_bob:  i ran into similiar when i changed from Gnome to Gnome/OpenBox sessions, it since had fixed itself apparently
[05:53] <kaiwen> yes, therealnanotube, I know it's not a cable issue.
[05:53] <jeeves__> Jack_Sparrow, Thanks man.  I came here first because I know you know the answers
[05:53] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: on the server it is
[05:53] <kaiwen> more like a configuration issue.
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> jeeves__ What'd I do this time
[05:53] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: is there a swirling twirly?
[05:53]  * nickrud bows in Jack_Sparrow's general direction
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Hey nickrud ..
[05:53] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: i mean on the server itself, fsck is scrolling aross the screen
[05:53] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: yes, i know you already said that - now the question is, maybe its a NIC issue (not hardware, since it works on windows - but drivers?)
[05:53] <Agent_bob> DozedOnLinux hmmm well on dapper it's not likely to "fix itself"   i'll have to fix it if it gets fixed...
[05:54] <kaiwen> both drivers are installed correctly
[05:54] <jeeves__> Jack_Sparrow, you got me the info. I'm looking to build a MythTV back end
[05:54] <kaiwen> and they both show up at dmesg.
[05:54] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: can you take a picture?
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[05:54] <joejoecircusboy> Kaiwen: I've seen issues where a driver was loaded but didn't send/receive
[05:54] <kaiwen> ok, how do I check this then?
[05:54] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐Agent_bob:  i cant be sure of what it was doing, i didnt seem to have the issue on restart of box
[05:55] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: i'm just ssh'n to the server to run taht last command.  can't run it on server itself, no prompt because of the fsck
[05:55] <kaiwen> that may be the case for me, since it shows : link is not ready
[05:55] <joejoecircusboy> Kaiwen: Need to know what driver you're loaded.   maybe do a 'lsmod', and msg me the output?
[05:55] <greencookie> my internet connection stops working after 5-10 seconds helP!
[05:55] <Agent_bob> DozedOnLinux lol.... the old "reboot will fix anything" ploy eeh    :)))
[05:55] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: so ssh isn't really going thru?
[05:55] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: and doesn't the auto check feature happen before login prompt? this happened after i got the prompt
[05:55] <kaiwen> how do i message you teh whole output?
[05:56] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: yeah i can ssh, connected now
[05:56] <jeeves__> Jack_Sparrow, any other ideas?  Something more about satellite tuners?
[05:56] <joejoecircusboy> Dunno.. this is my first time here
[05:56] <Agent_bob> DozedOnLinux i have rebooted, although i confess that i had no faith that a reboot would help and, sure enough it didn't ....    maybe it's not the reboot but the faith that heals all our computer woes ...
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> jeeves__ see the mythtv room, there are sat tuners that use the samer cards
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !mythtv
[05:56] <DozedOnLinux> greencookie: in CMOS check what controls your mouse/keyboard(change to BIOS control) or ACIP (turn off), you could try either or both, see what happens, as there is other methods of accomplishing the same.
[05:56] <jeeves__> Jack_Sparrow, thanks
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[05:57] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: please explain a bit better... is the server physically in the same room that you are in and does it have a monitor hooked up to it?
[05:57] <greencookie> CMOS u mean at startup?
[05:57] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐Agent_bob: is there a reqason why you are using dapper other than another distro ?
[05:57] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: well, as i said, try connecting the two comps each to a router with a straight cable, and run the dhcp config, and see if you get net connectivity. if that works, then you'll know that it's not a driver or config issue, but just something with the way you are doing the straight comp-to-comp config. if the "normal" internet doesn't work either, then you know it's drivers - and then you can look at that stuff like joejoecirc
[05:57] <therealnanotube> usboy says.
[05:57] <Agent_bob> DozedOnLinux yeah debian doesn't offer shipit
[05:57] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: yes, well in other room.  it's running fsck, but the ps axf | grep fsck says it's not
[05:58] <Agent_bob> DozedOnLinux oh you mean "other than another release" ?
[05:58] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: btw, to private message, you can use command "/msg username". or you can use the pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) to post extended output, then post a link to it here.
[05:58] <Agent_bob> DozedOnLinux yeah    dialup.
[05:58] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: i'm gonna reboot it.  maybe some weird fluke
[05:58] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: why is it running fsck? was there a power outage?
[05:58] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  yes at system boot screen. usually DEL/ESC or F1 to enter CMOS setup. check settings first, and make sure you can retrun them to defaults, if need be. that worked for me, the same situation. mine would drop at 5-10 seconds as well
[05:59] <dfgas> how do you extract something to have the same permissions with tar? i usually use xvzf
[05:59] <znh> I accidentally messed up my groups my user. Now I can't do no more sudo, as it claims I am not in the sudoers file.. Help please
[05:59] <greencookie> DozedOnLinux : didnt work for me:( damn i WISH i could get net working on my ubuntu box:(
[05:59] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: i tried the noapic and irqpoll in GRUB options, that worked but affected my vid display, so i did the same changes in CMOS, and skipped the GRUB options
[05:59] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: no, an old hard drive that I installed and mounted /home on evidently was bad.  wouldn't even boot.  so i ran fsck, did it's thing, rebooted it, got the login.  and as i was about to login it started running fsck again all by itself
[05:59] <Flannel> znh: reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB) and usermod -G admin -a [yourusername]
[05:59] <Agent_bob> dfgas iirc from "man tar" it should default to -p
[06:00] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: that's weird.... i'd back the data up if possible
[06:00] <Flannel> znh: You need to be in the admin group to sudo, that previous command adds you there.  You'll probably need to re-add all your other groups too: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[06:00] <greencookie> this is getting tiring. ill try it some other day
[06:00] <greencookie> good nite all.
[06:01] <Switchcat> heh, so I submitted the bug and it told me "KMitnick" was informed... I assume that is some developers idea of a joke? :P
[06:01] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  do in terminal (make sure no two are using same IRQ > cat /proc/interrupts
[06:01] <znh> Flannel, ty!
[06:01] <kaiwen> ok, got it
[06:01] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: if you can get it to work for them few seconds, there is a way, so dont lose faith.
[06:01] <greencookie> DozedOnLinux: ok hold on
[06:02] <greencookie> DozedOnLinux: just enough to get to google.com then no more connection lol..sucks
[06:02] <dek> anyone knows how to create a webpage in a different path than webapps, using Tomcat 5.5 server?
[06:02] <justin_> so how is it that i can install Ubuntu into windows now?
[06:02] <therealnanotube> kaiwen: got what? what's the news? :)
[06:02] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  i had same issue, almost to a T
[06:03] <bullgard4> Gnea: What does your message "*nod*" mean? (I know the meaning of the sentence "I am nodding my head.")
[06:03] <greencookie> lol DozedOnLinux
[06:03] <kaiwen> still working with someone
[06:03] <kaiwen> ;)
[06:03] <Gnea> bullgard4: i was agreeing with what you said
[06:03] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  my card Linksys Wireless G v4.1 / RT61 chipset and module
[06:03] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: just rebooted and during boot it said both drives were clean, then it scrolled through some more fsck again, got the login prompt, then it started again.  i'll just let it go through this time.  not worried about losing anything.  it was a freah server install
[06:03] <kindofabuzz> freash*
[06:03] <kindofabuzz> fresh* =)
[06:03] <greencookie> DozedOnLinux: mine is netgear wlan adapter
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> justin_ You cant really install it into windows, just from windows and I dont care for wubi which is what you would use to do that
[06:03] <Gnea> kindofabuzz: cool beans
[06:04] <bullgard4> Gnea: Thank you for your information.
[06:04] <kindofabuzz> Gnea: i'm assuming after it mounted it, it found more problems or something
[06:04] <greencookie> DozedOnLinux: can't i just disable eth0 since i dont use wired connection? i think that might be screwing things up?:P
[06:04] <Gnea> bullgard4: don't mention it
[06:04] <justin_> Jack_Sparrow,  I see, I thought it was pretty neat though that you have an option to somehow virtual machine it i guess on top of windows
[06:05] <Jack_Sparrow> justin_ you can vm things.. but I dont like those either
[06:05] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: is eth0 onboard or add-in card ?
[06:06] <greencookie> onboard DozedOnLinux
[06:06] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  dmesg | grep wlan0 , yes there is a way to disable it from within linux, but the cure excapes me at this time
[06:06] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: then disable in CMOS
[06:06] <greencookie> ok dozed
[06:06] <Gnea> DozedOnLinux: blacklist?
[06:07] <m08> I've got a retarded noobie question. I just installed ubuntu, do I need to install drivers for my motherboard, etc?
[06:07] <greencookie> im trying to disable roaming mode on my wlan0
[06:07] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  mine isnt on blacklist, as for freencookie, i dont know right now.
[06:07] <Jack_Sparrow> m08 not really
[06:07] <m08> ok
[06:07] <Gnea> m08: nope, it will autodetect and load everything up for you (for the most part)
[06:08] <Gnea> m08: click on System->Preferences->Hardware Information

[06:08] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐Gnea:  i dont believe it is blacklisted as it worked for 5-10 seconds. are you thinking on something ? please assist if you can, thank you
[06:09] <Gnea> !ati | m08
[06:09] <Agent_bob>    anyone that knows some about xfce4?  when i launch it,  it comes up with the default background and panels but then the panels vanish, and right click does nothing.  i can alt+f2 run xfce4-panel and get them back.   but nothing seems to be sticky.   any thoughts on why ?           (and i'll stop repeting now.)
[06:09] <Gnea> m08: make sure you install the correct driver for your specific card
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> m08 Careful what drivers you install.  I strongly suggest you make a full backup before you experiment
[06:09] <m08> alright
[06:09] <neoblitz> I am running Hardy Heron and there seems to be a problem with my firefox flash plugins
[06:10] <m08> I don't have "Hardware Information listed btw
[06:10] <neoblitz> I am not able to play flash content of all sites
[06:10] <crimsun> neoblitz: related to audio?
[06:10] <neoblitz> Nope. The flash itself doesnt run
[06:10] <greencookie> DozedOnLinux: what would wmaster0 be? maybe something to do with my problem?
[06:10] <crimsun> neoblitz: 64-bit Ubuntu?
[06:11] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  if you can connect for them few seconds, i would think you have the correct driver, just something else is affecting it and dropping it.
[06:11] <geev8> ubottu, can you tell me the different of LAMPp and XAMPP
[06:11] <crimsun> greencookie: wmaster0 is an internal interface.

[06:12] <neoblitz> m08 thanks i will give that a try
[06:12] <Jack_Sparrow> greencookie time to shop for a card with better linux support
[06:12] <geev8> how do i set password into mysql server
[06:12] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: try a few things. either disable eth0 in cmos, or attempt allowing BIOS to control mouse/keyboard, or even use kernel options >irqpoll
[06:12] <greencookie> lol Jack_Sparrow maybe thats it :(
[06:12] <Penol> !mysql password
[06:12] <neoblitz> m08 is there any special setting that i have to tweak to tell firefox to pickup gnash instead of the regular adode one?
[06:13] <geev8> penol, yap

[06:15] <greencookie> I think i'd better get a new computer lol. asus eee:)
[06:15] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: its not typically needed as your fan on CPU will run at 100% with it disabled, although i see that linux still loads it, so i think the two may fight each other, so disabling it in CMOS, still allows linux to control the apic
[06:15] <Penol> rodold: guide from?
[06:15] <rodold> rodold: on the ndiswrapper install guide

[06:20] <xxploit> anyone happen to have suggestions for stock quoting software for linux?
[06:20] <superkuh> Does anyone have a suggest as to what to try next for such a camera?
[06:20] <Maxwell390180> Yes.
[06:20] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie:  if in doubt, make sure the fan is still going, as a burnt up cpu will do no good. most newer boards will shutdown automatically anyhow. in the old-days it would just cook your cpu till it was french-fried :P
[06:20] <Maxwell390180> Slart: Yes, I have it all figured out.
[06:20] <Ademan> anyone here know if the libflashsupport package is necessary if you're using the latest flash version (flash 10 beta) from adobe? firefox has been super crash-happy for me... (it was worse with flash 9 from the repositories too...)
[06:21] <Slart> Maxwell390180: ok.. you have to create one partition for the root, "/", that's where the system files and so on will be..
[06:21] <crimsun> Ademan: it is deprecated unless you're using 64-bit /and/ Flash 9.
[06:21] <greencookie> DozedOnLinux: lol i dont want no fried motherboard. but yeah im on 64 athlon running ubuntu for 64 bit. i just turned off a feature called "cool and quiet" so lets see .
[06:21] <crimsun> Ademan: in fact, if you're using Flash 10, you should deinstall it.
[06:22] <Ademan> thanks crimsun
[06:22] <DozedOnLinux> !cam | ’╗┐superkuh
[06:22] <Slart> Maxwell390180: then you can, if you want, create a separate partition for /home, /var etc etc..
[06:22] <Maxwell390180> It was already running Xubuntu before it effd up, so I figure it's already there.
[06:22] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: in kernel options you can use> noapic
[06:22] <superkuh> Thanks DozedOnLinux.

[06:22] <bmarley13> how do i edit my /etc/fstab file on gnome?
[06:22] <DozedOnLinux> ’╗┐greencookie: that is safe bet. basically use it for diagnostics rather than complete fix.
[06:22] <Penol> acornstar: im checking it out now
[06:23] <Penol> but i dont have mutch time
[06:23] <Slart> Maxwell390180: pointless?  no need to run a separate program.. you should be able to do this from the installer
