[19:02] <chamusca> overlap problems with wine, i can't understand ubuntu's explanation
[19:02] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: do you have two nics on the pc that doesnt work?
[19:02] <Cerberus_> techsupport:  ok ...whats the problem
[19:02] <xbxbxb> xbxbxb: yes
[19:02] <xbxbxb> er
[19:03] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi: yes, eth0 and eth1
[19:03] <jos_> the sound in youre tube wont work?
[19:03] <jos_> sound is working on system oke
[19:03] <techsupport> Cerberus_, tried to set the sare as public, and guests allow = yes, still not accessable error in windows
[19:03] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: and the cable is connected to eth0 or eth1?
[19:03] <xbxbxb> eth0
[19:03] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi:
[19:03] <xbxbxb> ^
[19:04] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: can you do a sudo ifconfig and tell me what it says on ip address for both eth0 and eth1
[19:04] <Cerberus_> techsupport: read only = no, guest ok = yes.     those two should give you waht you want (along with path of course)
[19:04] <Zappza> If I use a LiveUSB with persistant changes enabled, can I install drivers and install updates?
[19:04] <Cerberus_> Zappza: yes.
[19:05] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi: eth0: <IP_ADDRESS>, eth1: <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:05] <chamusca> how do i solve the wine overlapping screen problems ?
[19:05] <Cerberus_> techsupport: also, what is your security line set to
[19:05] <rockaxe> hi tooangle
[19:05] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: do a sudo ifconfig eth1 down
[19:06] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: and then ping; it should work
[19:06] <techsupport> Cerberus_, sec plz
[19:06] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi: IT WORKS :D
[19:06] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi: what the heck was causing the problem?
[19:06] <Mixed_--_> anyone knows how to setup a file and printer sharing only to local IP's???
[19:06] <souldier> hello
[19:07] <souldier> im having a problem with vnc on hardy heron
[19:07] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: both the interfaces were in the same subnet so the packets didnt know where to go
[19:07] <souldier> why is that that i can only connect to vnc when the computer is logged in
[19:07] <souldier> i just noticed that
[19:07] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi: will it help to just disable eth1 permanently?
[19:07] <trekok3> hello
[19:07] <souldier> i restarted my server and i couldnt vnc to it
[19:07] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: yes of course
[19:07] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi: how do I do that, so eth1 will be down after a reboot?
[19:07] <souldier> so i had to fisically login
[19:07] <souldier> and then vnc from my other computer
[19:07] <jimcooncat>  I'm displaying Linux apps (firefox, thunderbird, liferea) on my users' Windows desktops via Xming. Works great. I'd like to have more consistency when they do a "file open" or other file operation, as some of their programs will show "J:\jim\doc\" and others as "/J/jim/doc" (J being a shared folder). Any ideas? Can I make things more consistent?
[19:08] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: check your /etc/network/interfaces and comment out the line that says eth1 auto
[19:08] <outbackwifi> souldier: you are probably using Vino and not tightvnc
[19:08] <xbxbxb> outbackwifi: OK, thank you very very much
[19:09] <outbackwifi> xbxbxb: yw
[19:09] <souldier> outbackwifi: im using the vnc that comes with ubuntu
[19:09] <techsupport> Cerberus_, all i hpave is pat = /my/path, read only = No, guest ok = Yes
[19:09] <souldier> just enabled it
[19:09] <outbackwifi> souldier: thats just the listener
[19:09] <Cerberus_> techsupport: ok, what about security = ?
[19:09] <souldier> outbackwifi: what do you think i should do?
[19:10] <outbackwifi> souldier: you should install tightvncserver
[19:10] <outbackwifi> souldier: and configure the xstartup to start gnome
[19:10] <techsupport> Cerberus_, under [global] i have security = ADS , but nothing about secuirty under [share]
[19:10] <outbackwifi> souldier: if you look at todays logs, i helped someone do the same thing
[19:10] <souldier> how can i check the logs?
[19:10] <B3z3rk3r> hey outback
[19:11] <outbackwifi> B3z3rk3r: hi
[19:11] <Cerberus_> techsupport: security = ads?   hmm...  well, are you on an active directory domain?  if so i'm not sure.  if not, change it to security = user   (or = share)
[19:11] <souldier> outbackwifi: how can i check the logs?
[19:11] <outbackwifi> souldier: irclogs.ubuntu.com i think
[19:11] <techsupport> Cerberus_, yes i am on an active directory domain
[19:11] <rockaxe>   chat.youthtech.com
[19:12] <Pici> !logs | souldier
[19:12] <outbackwifi> tx Pici
[19:12] <Cerberus_> techsupport: then i'm not sure to be honest.  you could make your samba server be a stand alone server and not a part of the domain by changing the security setting
[19:14] <outbackwifi> souldier: its actually here --> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/10/08/%23ubuntu.html
[19:14] <souldier> outbackwifi: yea im reading
[19:14] <techsupport> Cerberus_, anything we could think about to actually keep the security = ADS but still get my to work ?
[19:14] <Cerberus_> techsupport: personally no, i have no experience with such a configuration
[19:15] <trekok3> are there problem with WIFI in ubuntu now?
[19:15] <gma_> how do you get ubuntu to prompt you for sensible resolution and refresh rate in X? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only asks about my damned keyboard!
[19:15] <outbackwifi> gma_: system-->preferences-->screen resolution
[19:15] <Cerberus_> gma_: System - Preferences - Screen Resolution
[19:15] <Cerberus_> haha
[19:15] <outbackwifi> :p
[19:16] <Cerberus_> ya beat me to it
[19:16] <outbackwifi> sorry
[19:16] <Cerberus_> haha  salright
[19:16] <trekok3> what?
[19:16] <gma_> I tried that, but it only offers me 60Hz. I know the card and monitor can do 85, as they were doing it a few hours ago before a heron upgrade
[19:16] <outbackwifi> trekok3: thats  a very vague question. please state your problem
[19:16] <outbackwifi> gma_: try changing it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:17] <gma_> (sorry, can't reply direct as your nick is black on black -- nicely higlighted irssi)
[19:17] <souldier> outbackwifi: where can i download the tightvncserver ?
[19:17] <gma_> but I've tried that too. deleted a bunch of wanky modelines and similar
[19:17] <B3z3rk3r> gma_ anything higher than 70 is a waste tho?
[19:17] <outbackwifi> souldier: sudo apt-get instal tightvncserver
[19:17] <outbackwifi> souldier: sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
[19:17] <gma_> no, my dad gets a headache if it's lower than 85
[19:18] <gma_> he's very sensitive to flicker
[19:18] <B3z3rk3r> or is it 60? i can never remember
[19:18] <Cerberus_> the higher the better
[19:18] <B3z3rk3r> one of the two  =p
[19:18] <gma_> so is there no longer a console based config screen that prompts you for the resolution settings you want?
[19:18] <souldier> outbackwifi: couldnt find package
[19:18] <outbackwifi> gma_: hardy or intrepid?
[19:19] <Tundrayeti311> !res | gma_
[19:19] <gma_> the stuff built in to the desktop (Applications -> Other -> Screens and thingy) set me back to 640x480 and didn't indicate it was going to overwrite xorg.conf
[19:19] <outbackwifi> !info tightvncserver
[19:19] <outbackwifi> souldier: you need universe enabled
[19:19] <Cerberus_> souldier: actually, its xtightvncserver
[19:19] <B3z3rk3r> souldier: google "tight vnc" should be a free DL
[19:19] <edlv> i have downloaded skype and please tell me how to install
[19:19] <gma_> Tundrayeti311: thanks, but I know what's what in principle. I was hacking modelines in the late 90s, but these days things have moved on. only they seem to have gone a bit backwards in the last two years
[19:19] <Cerberus_> aptitude search tightvnc
[19:20] <outbackwifi> !info tightvncserver | Cerberus
[19:20] <trekok3> I had problem with WIFI  connection in Ubuntu 7.04. The signal was broken after some time
[19:20] <rjelliso> i saw a gopher tonight
[19:20] <atomekk> edlv:  sudo dkpg -i skype.deb
[19:20] <jperkins> I'm having trouble with screen resolution. I have a GeForce 6200 PCI, and a widescreen Acer X163w (1360x768). i'm using the non-free drivers. I can't get my screen resolution below 1440x900.
[19:20] <Cerberus_> aw, i stand corrected.  the package i saw was for the client outback
[19:20] <jperkins> any help? :P
[19:21] <outbackwifi> trekok3: have you installed and tried with hardy (8.04)
[19:21] <souldier> ok
[19:21] <souldier> already installing
[19:21] <edlv> atomekk: it says command not found
[19:22] <jperkins> anyone? :P
[19:22] <atomekk> edlv:  ahh sorry my fault  s/dkpg/dpkg
[19:22] <gma_> jperkins: have you had a look at the Modes setting in the Screens section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[19:22] <gma_> jperkins: you will need one entry there for each resolution that you can switch into
[19:23] <gma_> jperkins: if you start editing that file (manually or with a GUI) take a backup first. it can be a whores ass to get it right.
[19:23] <jperkins> gma_: there's nothing in there about custom resolutions
[19:24] <souldier> outbackwifi: already installed it, what do I do know?
[19:24] <gma_> jperkins: what does it say next to Modes
[19:24] <gma_> jperkins: ?
[19:24] <jperkins> umm one sec
[19:25] <outbackwifi> souldier: launch it by typing tightvncserver and following the prompts
[19:25] <souldier> outbackwifi: done
[19:25] <gma_> is there a package with non free ati drivers in it?
[19:25] <gma_> I think that might be my issue
[19:25] <gma_> (I've got a radeon 7000/VE)
[19:25] <outbackwifi> souldier: now follow the way to add gnome session from that irc log and then connect from remote without logging in
[19:26] <alicev> ha
[19:26] <alicev> hallo
[19:26] <edlv> atomekk: it says cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[19:26] <jperkins> gma_: there is no modes section
[19:26] <alicev> who is ? http://img377.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1g9kiorhfgdvb1iglmrw8j7uh2.jpg
[19:26] <gma_> jperkins: it must be autodetecting the lot then. in which case, I'm out of date and I'm afraid I can't help...
[19:27] <outbackwifi> !offtopic | alicev
[19:27] <SpaceBass> I'm trying to use a physicial windows partition in VMware and running into issues
[19:27] <SpaceBass> I can get the intital windows splashscreen then it hangs
[19:28] <jperkins> does anyone else have any idea?
[19:28] <jperkins> it has a bunch of resolutions except 1360x768
[19:28]  * SpudDogg hugs rsync
[19:28] <the_eraser> now when metacity has compositing why doesnt it support alpha in window decoration? :(
[19:28] <outbackwifi> jperkins: you need to add the modes you want to that list
[19:29] <jperkins> how? :P it's been a really long time since i've done any of this, and last time i used linux the modes were all in there
[19:29] <jperkins> and i just had to add the new ones
[19:29] <jperkins> and it worked
[19:29] <jperkins> now my xorg.conf has almost nothing in it
[19:29] <kernando> How can i find out if ubuntu recognizes my ethernet controller. its not a pci slot it is built into my mobo
[19:30] <B3z3rk3r> kernado, chances are very good that it will be automaticaly deteceted
[19:30] <outbackwifi> kernando: lspci
[19:30] <david_> In desperation!!! Help!!! Last night I cleaned up my disk and obviously deleted something I shouldn't.

[19:32] <SpudDogg> Sonderblade, apt-cache search netbeans
[19:32] <outbackwifi> souldier: did you start the server?
[19:33] <greencookie> outbackwifi: I'm currently using awesomeWM and was wondering which other WMs fell in its class?
[19:33] <souldier> no. i guess i most do something like ./xstartup ?
[19:33] <greencookie> outbackwifi: I dont want DM's like gnome or kde :)
[19:33] <atomekk> edlv: did you wrote exact skype (deb) filename ?
[19:33] <outbackwifi> greencookie: please dont conduct surveys here
[19:33] <greencookie> outbackwifi: thanks for the help. its not a survey, just a question. bye.
[19:33] <outbackwifi> souldier: nope, type vncserver and follow the prompts
[19:34] <souldier> outbackwifi: ok i did that... New 'X' desktop is souldier-laptop:2
[19:34] <outbackwifi> souldier: now connect from remote like so vncviewer thispc:2
[19:35] <rskumar_> how can I save the list of all the packages installed in current system. I need to reinstall from fresh, and then install all those packages.. manually listing them is a tedious task.
[19:35] <anabolix> i need to reinstall windows and im not sure if i should completely clean out ubuntu and windows or just format the part where windows is on... any thoughts or help on this?
[19:35] <souldier> outbackwifi: i dont understand why the :2 ?
[19:35] <outbackwifi> souldier: thats the display number
[19:35] <dvyjones> When trying to convert a video with libfaac (for audio), I get the error that libfaac is an unknown coded. I have installed ffmpeg from medibuntu, and tried to compile it from source, but neither works.
[19:35] <rskumar_> anabolix: you can just install windows on the same drive it is.. and then reinstall grub to mbr
[19:35] <outbackwifi> souldier: you prolly have something else on 1
[19:35] <dvyjones> Any ide how to get it to work?
[19:35] <dvyjones> s/ide/idea
[19:36] <souldier> ah i had rune the tightvncserver thing already
[19:36] <jperkins> outbackwifi: my xorg.conf is very bare compared to how it was last time i used linux last year..
[19:36] <souldier> didnt know it was already running
[19:36] <outbackwifi> rskumar_: just go to /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:36] <jperkins> i remember i could add the custom resolutions to a list that was already there
[19:36] <jperkins> but there's not even a list
[19:36] <anabolix> rskumar_: how would i install grub back into mbr? sorry i R new
[19:36] <outbackwifi> anabolix: grub-install /dev/hd?
[19:36] <rskumar_> outbackwifi: means... that contains downloaded packages. and most of them are deleted after sometime, if you dont change the settings in synaptic
[19:37] <atmahasan> سلام
[19:37] <anabolix> outbackwifi its as simple as that?
[19:37] <outbackwifi> !ar

[19:39] <[T]ank> whenever thunderbird maximizes it goes larger than my screen so that I cannot it the close button on the top right... how can I fix this?
[19:39] <rskumar_> anabolix: after you cleaned the windows drive, you need to install windows on same,, dont touch the linux drive.. when windows isntalls, it will wipe the mbr and write only its entry.. then after installation is finished,. load the Ubuntu live cd, and in cmd do the grun install , read the  grub man pages and other resources on internet and copy down the commands... and also beware about the Disk numbering in Grub, it starts with 0 while in linux it start
[19:39] <shearn89> [T]ank: you can hold alt and left click to move the window
[19:40] <outbackwifi> souldier: vncserver -kill :2
[19:40] <[T]ank> my resolution is set correctly... but thunderbird is maximizing perfectly just so that the menu drop downs are the very top.
[19:40] <rskumar_> anyone here, I need to save the list of all the packages I have installed in the current system
[19:40] <rskumar_> how can I generate the list of all installed packages
[19:40] <outbackwifi> rskumar_: just go to /var/cache/apt/archives and do a ls -l > packagelist.txt
[19:40] <x29a> hey folks, i just read about the cycle-killer thin with harddrives on ubuntu and that normally a harddrive has like 300000 to 600000 cycles. i just checked mine and i have 1.5M, should i be worried? did the patch, now no new parkings, check http://rafb.net/p/pyY22y26.html
[19:40] <[T]ank> shearn89: alt+ left click does not let me move it :-(
[19:41] <shearn89> rskumar_: try "dpkg -l" (thats an el not a 1)
[19:41] <david_> Help? Can anyone advise please. My menu bars at top/bottom have disappeared as I deleted some files yesterday. In terminal how can I recupate them?
[19:41] <shearn89> [T]ank: try hitting F11? It could be maximised to fullscreen.
[19:41] <Niosus> is this the channel to ask help?
[19:41] <outbackwifi> !ask | Niosus
[19:41] <[T]ank> shearn89: also no good....
[19:42] <chamuscas> does anyone knows how to solve the wine overlapping screen problem ?
[19:42] <shearn89> [T]ank: try alt and middle click? might let you resize it...
[19:42] <Rando_> How do I check for system updates via an SSH session?
[19:42] <[T]ank> i can minimize from right clicking on the task bar... but max is too big for the screen.
[19:42] <shearn89> rskumar_: if dpkg -l works, then use "dpkg -l >> packagelist.txt"
[19:42] <mape2345> Hello
[19:42] <souldier> outbackwifi: how do i know if its already listening?
[19:42] <Odd-rationale> Rando_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[19:42] <Niosus> is there a way to make new windows open on top? everytime i open a window now it open under the active window
[19:42] <rskumar_> outbackwifi: i did said, that doesnt contain the list of installed packages. why didnt you verified it. that contains those packages which were downloaded. Like if you did only download not intall option, then there is problem.. also, note that the default settings always deletes the old packages after some days, so your list wont be guarenteed ...
[19:43] <[T]ank> shearn89: no on the middle click to.
[19:43] <rskumar_> shearn89: yup, seems a good option, let me try
[19:43] <outbackwifi> souldier: netstat -l should tell you (among other things)
[19:43] <[T]ank> everything else on the computer works just as it should. I only have this issue with Thunderbird
[19:43] <BrokenPipe> I'm running 8.10 through simply updating my sources.list, and there was a small upgrade today.  It seems to have changed bluetooth functionality.  Anyone familiar with that and could explain what happened? Where did the command 'hidd' go? That was the only way I could get my Apple Wireless Keyboard to work.
[19:43] <david_> Can anyone tell me please how to enter a new user?
[19:43] <Pici> !ibex | BrokenPipe
[19:43] <shearn89> [T]ank: i'm out of ideas i'm afraid...
[19:44] <SpudDogg> I just got finished installing ubuntu on my ps3, and tried rebooting...now it just sits at the kboot prompt.  nothing happens when i hit enter or any other key.  any ideas?
[19:44] <outbackwifi> rskumar_: sorry, try the method that shearn89 suggested
[19:44] <david_> I am the only person who has access tomy computer and I want to enter a new user, is it easy to do?
[19:44] <shearn89> david_: try something like system -> users? should be there somewhere.
[19:44] <outbackwifi> david_: systems--> administration--> users and groups
[19:44] <dvyjones> When trying to convert a video with libfaac (for audio), I get the error that libfaac is an unknown coded. I have installed ffmpeg from medibuntu, and tried to compile it from source, but neither works. Any idea on how to fix it?
[19:44] <shearn89> ^
[19:45] <rskumar_> outbackwifi: shearn89 , yes that is dpkg -l | awk '{ print $2 }' , solved it :) thanks you all a lot :)
[19:45] <dvyjones> Or how to convert files for MediaTomb to stream it on the PS3...
[19:45] <david_> shearn89  outbackwifi the problem is that I have lost my menu bars at top and bottom and the only access I have is to my terminal
[19:45] <david_> what do I type in my terminal?
[19:45] <shearn89> david_: its something like useradd. do "useradd --help"
[19:46] <mape2345> I have a question: I have a ubuntu server and I have to administer it remotely. I use SCP to connect to it but I want to have full access to all files (I would use private key auth). How can I get full access to all files? I read on ubuntu site that enabling root user is very bad and so on. I don't have any other solutions
[19:46] <shearn89> david_: you want to make sure you create a home directory for the new user.
[19:46] <david_> shearn89 how do I do that?
[19:46] <hateball> mape2345: ssh in and go about your business as normal
[19:46] <shearn89> rskumar_: np. I only recently discovered awk '{print $#}' - so useful.
[19:46] <hateball> mape2345: sudo and so on
[19:46] <Pici> david_: you should user adduser instead of useradd.
[19:46] <outbackwifi> mape2345: you need to connect to it using ssh and sudo
[19:46] <shearn89> david_: hit alt-f2, type xterm, and then do "adduser --help"
[19:46] <outbackwifi> mape2345: and then scp from there
[19:46] <mape2345> I use winscp and it doesn't allow any sudo's after login
[19:47] <hateball> mape2345: use putty
[19:47] <david_> If I create a new user will the gnome come back with the menu bars at top and bottorm or will it be the same?
[19:47] <outbackwifi> mape2345: and pscp
[19:47] <mape2345> Thanks, I will try
[19:47] <ward_> why does my wlan1 interface magically become wlan2 ???
[19:47] <david_> I just need to reinstate the menu bars, thinking a new user may do this
[19:47] <shearn89> david_: if you copy all the settings using the right adduser options, it should go back to normal.
[19:47] <Hilikus> does anyone know of a way to use MSN as a report system from ubuntu? either a bot thats always online or an app that logs in, sends the report and logs out??
[19:47] <hateball> david_: are you using compiz or something?
[19:47] <outbackwifi> ward_: what happened to wlan0 ?
[19:47] <david_> shearn89 - thks. In terminal do I type in     adduser
[19:48] <ward_> outbackwifi, it became wlan1 offcourse lol
[19:48] <outbackwifi> Hilikus: whats MSN?
[19:48] <david_> hateball what us compiz??
[19:48] <shearn89> david_: you want "adduser --help", and then read through the output.
[19:48] <Hilikus> outbackwifi msn messenger
[19:48] <hateball> david_: apparently not then ;)
[19:48] <MrKennie> Hilikus: probably easier to use something like jabber
[19:48] <david_> shearn89 will try - thks, Im getting desperate
[19:48] <strange> or irssi
[19:48] <strange> with bitlbee server
[19:48] <Hilikus> MrKennie i tried that but jabber doesnt support offline msn messages
[19:48] <dvyjones> When trying to convert a video with libfaac (for audio), I get the error that libfaac is an unknown coded. I have installed ffmpeg from medibuntu, and tried to compile it from source, but neither works. Any idea on how to fix it?
[19:49] <outbackwifi> !repeat | dvyjones
[19:49] <shearn89> dvyjones: try "apt-cache search libfaac"
[19:49] <shearn89> dvyjones: libfaac may not be installed.

[19:53] <shearn89> david_: maybe. Have you tried right-clicking on the desktop, and going add toolbar?
[19:53] <david_> shearn89 when I right click it doesn't give me that option
[19:54] <R4V3N> quit
[19:54] <david_> If I minimize this screen it disappears completely
[19:54] <R4V3N> exit

[19:55] <david_> shearn89 this message above was for you - sorry
[19:55] <Skky> question - are there any scripts in the init.d folder that start up eth1 /
[19:56] <Skky> ?
[19:56] <Hagg1> Hai, how do I copy the vinagre-settings/bookmarks from one account to another?
[19:56] <david_> shearn89 or do you think its a home directory problem?
[19:56] <outbackwifi> Skky: no, the /etc/network/interfaces does that
[19:56] <LordKovu> anyone know of a good xml editor ?
[19:56] <shearn89> david_: If you reinstall ubuntu you'll lose it all. I'm not sure what's gone wrong though...

[19:57] <Frijolie> I'm trying to install a tarball and am getting an error during compile. Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install

[19:57] <cdc_> Hey all, I am trying to setup a share drive on my ubuntu samba server to be accessible over the internet for me here at work. Ideally it will be a media folder that lets me play the music like a shared drive instead on downloaded the music then playing it on my work computer.
[19:57] <MrKennie> Frijolie: you need to install the relevant *-dev packages
[19:57] <david_> shearn89 then I wont reprogam!!! I am sure its a simple problem. I deleted some files last night and the menu bars aren't appearing and anything I minimize is lost of the screen so I cant recuperate. Im sure its something simple
[19:58] <Frijolie> MrKennie: how do you know what the relevant packages are?
[19:58] <david_> Just a question of having the luck someone might be able to help me?
[19:58] <Pici> david_: What files did you delete?
[19:58] <shearn89> david_: hmmm. You could try and find the recycle bin using the terminal.
[19:59] <MrKennie> Frijolie: use synaptics to search for them or use apt-cache search in a terminal
[19:59] <david_> Pici I deleted Evolution mail, avidemus, pykaraoke, Opera, Epiphany and limewire
[19:59] <Pici> david_: How did you delete them?
[19:59] <MrKennie> Frijolie: I think you need libgnome2-dev in your case but that should give you a clue for any further requirments
[19:59] <ward_> how can i keep the damn name of the wireless interface? :s
[19:59] <Frijolie> MrKennie: how do you know what *dev files I need to fix the error
[19:59] <ward_> ffs this is annoying
[20:00] <david_> Pici when I switched on the computer this morning I had no menu bars at the top or bottom of the screen. Without them I cant do anything as I have no access to Applications etc.,
[20:00] <david_> shearn89 how could I find the recycle bin?
[20:00] <Frijolie> MrKennie: I'm installing libgnome2-dev metapackage now..I'll see if that will help
[20:00] <outbackwifi> !trash
[20:00] <node357> ubottu should have a factoid on restoring panels :/

[20:01] <Pici> david_: look what ubottu just said
[20:01] <shearn89> !reset panels | david_
[20:01] <MrKennie> Frijolie: what is it you are trying to install?

The message return by the system was : could not open network socket, Please check that the DCOP server was running"  ----- anyone can help me out please ?
[20:02] <MrKennie> Frijolie: I guess you need to find out from the documentation what it requires to build and then you will need to find the -dev packages.
[20:03] <shearn89> david_: the command is written by ubotu a few posts above mine.
[20:03] <chamuscas> does anyone know how to solve the overlapping screen problem of wine ?
[20:03] <Tundrayeti311> bingungbangett: Are you using KDE? Is DCOP running?
[20:03] <Frijolie> MrKennie: it's looking for gnomeConfig.sh in /usr/local/lib. Never heard of that file..I'll check the docs again
[20:04] <MrKennie> Frijolie: look at ./configure --help too
[20:04] <chamuscas> does anyone know how to solve the overlapping screen problem of wine ?
[20:04] <chamuscas> does anyone know how to solve the overlapping screen problem of wine ?

[20:06] <souldier>  no desktop
[20:06] <david_> shearn89 tried what ubottu told me but that command doesnt exist?
[20:06] <MrKennie> Frijolie: drip looks a bit dead to me, last package ubuntu had was in gutsy.
[20:06] <shearn89> david_: what this "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel"?
[20:07] <david_> shearn89 I'd like to try in terminal  !reset panels but which character is the line in between panels and david_?
[20:07] <Frijolie> MrKennie: you've had experience with dvd::rip?
[20:07] <ferronica> i can open and edit menu.lst without sudo :(
[20:07] <bingungbangett> Tundrayeti311 : can u explain and help me please
[20:07] <shearn89> david_: no no - you don't type !resetpanels in the terminal, you type "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" without the quotes.
[20:07] <edlv> what is a home directory?
[20:07] <Tundrayeti311> bingungbangett: yeah default for ubuntu is gnome... i get this error sometimes too... see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=472949
[20:07] <shearn89> edlv: where all your docs are stored, like my documents.
[20:08] <david_> shearn89 I did that and was told no command found
[20:08] <MrKennie> Frijolie: yes, it's not bad. There are some good guides on using it.
[20:08] <shearn89> david_: really? hmmm... let me google.
[20:08] <edlv> shearn89:home folder
[20:08] <shearn89> edlv: yeah - its like "my documents" on windows.
[20:08] <Fazer> testing xchat-gnome
[20:08] <edlv> shearn89:so..thats the home directory?
[20:09] <bingungbangett> Tundrayeti311 : thx for the link, i go find out first, thx

[20:09] <edlv> thanks shearn89
[20:09] <Tundrayeti311> bingungbangett: np
[20:09] <shearn89> david_: got it (i think)
[20:09] <shearn89> david_: can you see internet?
[20:10] <david_> shearn89 uff!!! hope so Im getting desperate
[20:10] <david_> shearn89 I can get into it somehow in a round about way
[20:10] <shearn89> david_: as long as you can see the web page, it should work.
[20:10] <david_> i will try anything shearn89
[20:10] <shearn89> david_: have a look here: http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html
[20:10] <abhishek> hi all
[20:10] <jamiejackson> what's the most no-fuss smtp solution for ubuntu? i just need to be able to send out emails from apps i develop (and not allow any external relaying through it)
[20:11] <david_> shearn89 I will give it a try. Many thks, report back later.
[20:11] <shearn89> david_: cool.
[20:11] <Frijolie> MrKennie: alright, maybe I'll just give that a try I guess "dvd::rip"
[20:13] <_21h_> hi all
[20:13] <_21h_> i want to sync my nokia 6230 with evolution contacts
[20:13] <_21h_> how to do this?
[20:13] <shearn89> _21h_: not sure. have you tried google?
[20:13] <soundray> _21h_: check out gnokii
[20:14] <Myrtti> _21h_: opensync / multisync might do it
[20:14] <Slart> _21h_: try some of the mobile phone apps available.. yammu, gnokii, multisync and so on
[20:14] <_21h_> soundray, gnokii have pipe to evo?
[20:14] <Freakin_Busy> hey, i want to make a stand alone web server to do many things. i want it to stream audio, host apache, host FTP, as well as host irc bots. Is the ubuntu server the right thing for this?
[20:14] <shamus> Distrobution upgrade is stuck on removing nvidia-kernel-common (unused package), would it kill my system to force quit the disto upgrade?
[20:15] <soundray> _21h_: I don't know, but you may need gnokii to communicate with it *at all*
[20:15] <shearn89> Freakin_Busy: yep - there's an "install lamp" option which sets up a lamp server really easily. Then you can stick mt-daapd on it to stream music.
[20:15] <eTiger13> http://wiki.gandi.net/en/hosting/using-linux/tutorials/ubuntu/virtualhosts on step2, why are there two directory folders?
[20:15] <Freakin_Busy> shamus, walk away for 10 mins and wait for it
[20:16] <shamus> Freakin_Busy, it's been running for about 20 minutes already
[20:16] <Freakin_Busy> and the ftp and apache i can just add respectively?
[20:16] <shearn89> Freakin_Busy: LAMP sets up apache, mysql, php. I'm sure you can then add the IRC and ftp bits.
[20:16] <souldier> can someone help me with a VNC related problem?
[20:16] <shearn89> souldier: hit me with the qu.
[20:16] <Freakin_Busy> ok.. sounds good
[20:17] <Slart> !ask | souldier
[20:17] <_snoopin_> can i install ebox to manage squid when squid has already been installed on the box earlier. and its still running
[20:17] <Freakin_Busy> shamus, if it's stuck you don't have much options do you?
[20:17] <shamus> Freakin_Busy, I suppose, but would it break my install?
[20:17] <Slart> _snoopin_: I think so, yes.. I don't think squid needs to be restarted.
[20:17] <Freakin_Busy> you'd have to do it again
[20:17] <ferronica> i can open and edit menu.lst without sudo ?
[20:17] <shearn89> shamus: i've found its normally pretty sturdy. Try and cancel it. You should be okay as long as you don't reboot.
[20:18] <yash> hello can someone help me with the installation process? i'm having a hard time with it.
[20:18] <ferronica> can anyone help me please:(
[20:18] <shearn89> yash: ask away.
[20:18] <souldier> shearn89: i installed tighvnc on a pc, and added some code on the xtstart file so i could connect to vn even without having to physically login on the other pc, but for some reason when i connect, I just get a gray screen with a terminal
[20:18] <jasuus> how long does it take for newly released versions to be found on the archive?  as in python 2.6 isnt there
[20:18] <shearn89> !ask | ferronica
[20:18] <Slart> ferronica: nope.. you can't
[20:18] <_snoopin_> Slart: i've tried that before. but when i login to ebox, the cache is grayed. and i can't manage the squid
[20:18] <Pici> !latest | jasuus
[20:18] <yash> im not getting past the menu of the install menu
[20:18] <abhishek> Does any one know about software that bypass proxy restrictation on ubuntu besides JAP and your freedom
[20:19] <Slart> _snoopin_: might be something else that is wrong then.. or I've misunderstood how ebox works. I've only tried it once or twice
 yes it is
[20:19] <kansan> i have a microsoft mouse, and i would like have it (1) when i click left & right buttons at same time it pastes stuff in the register (2) when i click the middle button it pastes the register.  currently neither works.  microsfot wireless mouse
[20:19] <Freakin_Busy> yash, go into the live boot first
 i can do it :(
[20:19] <david_> shearn89 This could be a solution which I will try, but the character which is a squiggly hyphen which is it?
[20:19] <shearn89> souldier: don't you need to start X on the remote server? I've only just started using ssh, so i could be wrong.
[20:19] <_snoopin_> could you please point me where to go to set the ebox to work with my squid?
[20:19] <shearn89> david_: its a tilde - either above the hash on a gb keyboard, or sometimes in the top left of the keyboard.
 dont know how, just double click then, click on display edit then save
[20:20] <shamus> shearn89: you wouldn't happen to know the name of the process, would you?
[20:20] <yash> i have tried this Freakin_busy but does not work either... thats why i am ??
 dont know whats going on,
[20:20] <shearn89> shamus: for the update? is it in a terminal?
[20:20] <Pici> ferronica: Open a terminal, type whoami and press enter.  What does it say?
[20:20] <Slart> ferronica: the file menu.list is owned by root.. you need to run an editor as root.. or use sudoedit to edit it
[20:20] <david_> shearn89 it isnt on my keyboard!! Any suggestions
[20:20] <Slart> ferronica: sorry.. menu.lst
[20:20] <shearn89> david_: just replace it with "/home/<username>/"
[20:20] <ferronica> Pici: student
[20:21] <shearn89> david_: so i think its "/home/david/.gconf/apps" or whatever.
[20:21] <_snoopin_> what is the best soft ware for irc in ubuntu 8.04
[20:21] <shamus> shearn89: It's a partial upgrade inside of distro upgrade because something was broken and it decided it wanted to download pretty much everything again
[20:21] <Pici> !best | _snoopin_
[20:21] <dvyjones> irssi :D
 but here no, just double click edit save
[20:21] <ichbinesderelch> _snoopin_: no best software, depens on what you like :P
[20:21] <david_> shearn89 I found it thks. be back soon, fingers crossed!
[20:21] <shearn89> _snoopin_: a matter of personal choice, but i like xchat or irssi.
 i am not logged in as root
[20:21] <shearn89> shamus: are you using synaptic or the terminal?
[20:21] <kwyjibo> is there a way to make kde apps automatically mimic my current GTK+ theme?
[20:21] <jgold> I'm using the gimp version 2.4.5-1ubuntu2 on Ubuntu 8.04 and I'm finding that all the image filters are grayed out.  Does that mean I need some extra package or have I just screwed something up somehow?  How do I fix it?
[20:21] <shearn89> david_: cool.
[20:21] <shamus> shearn89: synaptic
[20:22] <Pici> ferronica: And what does ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst   say?
[20:22] <shearn89> shamus: i think there's a task manager clone somewhere in the system menu.
[20:22] <_snoopin_> can you mention atlease one? i don't see it in the internet section in application
[20:22] <jasuus> where do we usually put src files?
[20:22] <yash> i am stuck with the installation menu of ubuntu... can someone help on this?
[20:22] <shearn89> _snoopin_: try xchat.
[20:22] <Slart> !in!in | ferronica
[20:22] <Slart> !in | ferronica
[20:22] <shearn89> yash: which bit?
[20:22] <yash> installation
[20:23] <rockyrock> how can i create pdfs with ubuntu?? is there any software for that like Acrobat?
[20:23] <yash> the installation wont start
[20:23] <danbh_intrepid> _snoopin_: pidgin is the default irc client in ubuntu
[20:23] <shearn89> yash: which bit of the installation? there's lots of steps...
[20:23] <_snoopin_> i have to install that first right, shearn89?
[20:23] <ActionParsni1> !medibuntu > ActionParsnip
[20:23] <shearn89> _snoopin_: yeah i think so.
[20:23] <Slart> ferronica: I'm having problems understanding you.. perhaps you'd be better off asking someone else
[20:23] <ActionParsni1> rockyrock: you should have a pdf printer already installed
[20:23] <shearn89> yash: can you give us more info?
[20:23] <yash> the first one... im not getting past the ubuntu loading screen...
 Pici: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6077 2008-10-09 00:12 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:23] <david_> shearn89 what a nightmare! I typed in the first line gconftool--recursive.unset etc., and up came   -bash no such file command
[20:23] <shearn89> yash: ah okay - try starting in safe graphics mode.
[20:23] <x29a> ok, no feedback, fine, im concerned anyway, take care
[20:23] <yash> what do you want to know...
[20:24] <rockyrock> ActionParsni1: what do you mean by pdf printer?
[20:24] <ActionParsni1> yash: try disabling acpi
[20:24] <Slart> rockyrock: I don't think there's anything in linux like acrobat.. but many programs can export to pdf.. openoffice and such
[20:24] <shearn89> david_: ah okay. I found a simpler solution just now. hold onl.
[20:24] <_snoopin_> danbh_intrepid: omg...i don't realize that. i only use pidgin to logini to my im such as yahoo and msn
 no problem
[20:24] <ActionParsni1> rockyrock: choose print and choose the pdf printer
[20:24] <david_> shearn89 you really have patience, appreciated
 Pici knows me :)
[20:24] <ActionParsni1> rockyrock: it will write  a pdf
[20:24] <jasuus> how do i unzip bziped files?
[20:24] <vallhalla81> hi there i was installing ubuntu to a second drive and it seems to have mesed up my grub i am using live cd to talk now grub error is error15 can i fix this?
[20:24] <ActionParsni1> jasuus: bunzip
[20:24] <Pici> ferronica: The permissions are not set correctly.  sudo chmod 644 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:24] <rockyrock> Slart, ActionParsni1: i want to scan them from my scanner
[20:24] <danbh_intrepid> _snoopin_: yeah, just go to accounts, and add an irc account
[20:24] <jgold> Why would the gimp have all its filters grayed out?  Is there some extra package necessary?
[20:25] <shearn89> david_: here you go: "cd ~/.gconf/apps" then "mv panel panel.old", then hit ctrl-alt-backspace.
[20:25] <yash> shearn89... my ubuntu installation starts... it says busybox installer... then it goes on listing some command lines...
[20:25] <ferronica> Pici: i think all permission granted :(
[20:25] <ichbinesderelch> vallhalla81: reinstalling grub would be easiest solution
[20:25] <ferronica> Pici: i think all permission granted :(
[20:25] <Pici> ferronica: yes, It shouln't be set like that.
[20:25] <_snoopin_> thanks
[20:25] <shearn89> yash: busybox? are you using ubuntu ultimate?
[20:25] <ActionParsni1> rockyrock: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/scan-to-pdf-using-gscan2pdf-in-ubuntu.html
[20:25] <yash> tried even test cd and it goes the same
[20:25] <vallhalla81> ichbinesderelch: how would i do that please?
[20:25] <ferronica> Pici: but i did nothing to permission
[20:25] <Pici> ferronica: It wouldn't do it on its own.
[20:25] <ferronica> Pici: should i run the above command
[20:25] <Pici> ferronica: yes.
[20:25] <yash> no the desktop edition
[20:25] <ferronica> Pici: ok
[20:26] <ActionParsni1> !codecs > ActionParsnip
[20:26] <vallhalla81> !grub
[20:26] <yash> got the cd shipped today...
[20:26] <shearn89> yash: is there an error code or anything?
[20:26] <ActionParsni1> !codecs
[20:26] <jasuus> ah its bunzip2
[20:26] <ActionParsni1> jasuus: tab completion rocks ;)
[20:26] <Slart> vallhalla81: grub errors often happens when grub can't find the boot devices/hard drives/partitions because something's changed since the install.. you can always reinstall grub.. check the forums.. there are lots and lots of threads about grub problems
[20:26] <david_> shearn89 sounds difficult but will try and come back
[20:27] <shearn89> david_: it should be fine. you're not deleting the panel file, just moving it.
[20:27] <yash> no shearn89... just says something like [ XXX.XXXX] XXXX XXXXXX { } frozen
[20:27] <yash> and then it goes and goes
[20:27] <david_> shearn89 again no command found.
[20:27] <ferronica> Pici: did nothing happend :(
[20:28] <Tundrayeti311> If I wanted to setup a master directory on a server, and be able to have clients sync up to directory only for old, missing, versions of files in this directory, where would I start?
[20:28] <shearn89> david_: really?? you're just moving a file tho.. It must have the "mv" command.
[20:28] <Pici> ferronica: try modifying it without sudo now.
[20:28] <david_> I think I am gonig to try and retrieve any files and reprogram, its incredibel such a simple fault that I have to go to this extreme no?
[20:28] <sudoconfused> cya david_
[20:28] <ActionParsni1> vallhalla81: you need to find out what the error means
[20:28] <yash> it does not work likde described in the support forum
[20:28] <shearn89> david_: you're typing without the quotes yeah?
[20:28] <ActionParsni1> vallhalla81: the fact that grub errors means its installed, just not configured right
[20:28] <yash> im a bit lost with the installer shearn89
[20:28] <vallhalla81> ActionParsni1: looking in to it now ty
[20:29] <shearn89> yash: okay. When you put the cd in and reboot, try choosing "safe graphics mode" from the menu.
[20:29] <ferronica> Pici: without sudo i can modify :(
[20:29] <david_> shearn89 I literally typed in     cd~/.gconf/apps    with no spaces and intro and up came no command found
[20:29] <shearn89> david_: ah - you need a space between cd and ~
[20:29] <Slart> Tundrayeti311: you want people to be able to download these files from some kind of server?
[20:29] <ActionParsni1> vallhalla81: you probably need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to use correct devices and make sure /etc/fstab is mounting the drives properly
[20:29] <node357> always mind the spaces david :)
[20:29] <shearn89> david_: cd is the command and ~/etc the arguments.
[20:29] <Pici> ferronica: Thats odd. I need to run right now, perhaps someone else can help.
[20:30] <ferronica> Pici: student@student-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 644 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:30] <ferronica> student@student-desktop:~$ ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst

[20:30] <asonge_> anyone got laptop suggestions in a nutshell for ubuntu? i'd like a laptop with more than 800px of vertical space, but anyway
[20:30] <gusx> quit
[20:30] <Slart> Tundrayeti311: so you want people to only be able to get a few files.. not all of them?
[20:30] <cipherz> d
[20:30] <yash> okay shearn89.. ill try this and check what happens
[20:30] <yash> thanks
[20:30] <Tundrayeti311> Slart: I guess i need some sort of revision control? know any for linux?
[20:30] <shearn89> yash: np. post again if  you get stuck.
[20:30] <SurfnKid> hi, i have a problem that a Sony camera doesnt mount on ubuntu
[20:30] <cipherz> hello, I have made a persistent pendrive, it works great and all but, when I make changes such as add a user, it is added - but when I reboot it is gone
[20:30] <ActionParsni1> asonge_: lenovo make goodubuntu fiendly systems
[20:30] <yash> quit
[20:31] <SurfnKid> it says it cannot mount volume, and the error message on the syslog is something about flush
[20:31] <asonge_> ActionParsni1: i got that impression, do i have to watch for broadcom chipsets?
[20:31] <ferronica> Pici: any idea whats going on ?
[20:31] <SurfnKid> can someone help me find out why on one computer it mounts, and on another computer the camera is turned on via usb and the system doesnt mount it?
[20:31] <Tundrayeti311> slart: I want people to be able to update this directory on their machine w/o copying over the whole thing
[20:31] <Slart> Tundrayeti311: I would just put the files on some kind of ftp server/samba/nfs server.. doesn't really matter.. and then use rsync or similar from the clients
[20:31] <ActionParsni1> asonge_: i do personally but some people dont mind them
[20:31] <ActionParsni1> !hcl | asonge_
[20:31] <asonge_> Tundrayeti311: subversion seems to be the de facto standard, git is great
[20:31] <Chandan> Hi madhu, are u there, I am chandan
[20:31] <david_> shearn89 tried that an all it does is place a $ sign an nothing else
[20:31] <Slart> Tundrayeti311: it's hard for the server to know what files the client needs.. leave that to the client
[20:32] <SurfnKid> can anyone tell me how to fix an automount problem?
[20:32] <asonge_> ActionParsni1: you still can't ad-hoc on them is the issue...and i have an iphone i like to tether to over wifi on roadtrips
[20:32] <Tundrayeti311> slart: asonge_: ok, ty for help
[20:32] <kansan> how come audacious can't play a mp3 stream; http://www.radioparadise.com/musiclinks/rp_128-1.m3u .. when i click open location in audacious i get:  ERROR: neon: neon.c:1157 (neon_aud_vfs_getc_impl): <0x8356d68> Could not getc()!; id3_file_vfsopen: file failed;

[20:32] <kane77> can anyone help me. I'm having an emergency here. All of a sudden my /home partition disapeared (system can't find one) so I can't even login. How can I diagnose the problem?
[20:32] <ActionParsni1> asonge_: you could use bluetooth
[20:32] <asonge_> ActionParsni1: not on the iphone afaik
[20:32] <shearn89> david_: okay. close the terminal, then hit alt-f2, type "xterm" (without quotes), and then copy and paste the following:      cd ~/.gconf/apps & mv panel panel.old & ls
[20:32] <ActionParsni1> asonge_: ive no idea
[20:32] <Slart> kane77: boot from a live cd.. see if the home partition is still there
[20:33] <asonge_> iphone bluetooth is neutered to all hell
[20:33] <david_> shearn89 will try
[20:33] <Slart> kane77: gparted would work for an initial check
[20:33] <xomp> Yes, here it is :) http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/xomp/1223481109515.jpg
[20:33] <kane77> Slart: ok, will try that now, be right back and will let you know
[20:33] <xomp> whoops, wrong window. sorry
[20:33] <shearn89> david_: oh wait - the & should be &&.... sorry.
[20:34] <chamuscas> hello, i have a problem with wine. When i execute an windows aplication my screen splits into two unfocased screens
[20:34] <ActionParsni1> chamuscas: try #wine
[20:34] <genii> #winehq even
[20:34] <david_> shearn89 it didnt work it said display isnt set so I cant move
[20:34] <ActionParsni1> chamuscas: or see if there is a config you need to manipulate
[20:34] <ActionParsni1> genii: that too
[20:35] <chamuscas> ActionParnsil, i already tried it and already read the ubuntu wine
[20:35] <david_> shearn89 Think it will be easier to take out all my files to DVD and reinstall
[20:35] <chamuscas> ActionParsnil, i'll try those ones tank you :)
[20:35] <shearn89> david_: no it should work.
[20:35] <ActionParsni1> chamuscas: you could rename to ~/.wine folder then rerun, it will regenerate the folder
[20:35] <shearn89> david_: try the commands individually:     cd ~/.gconf/apps           then            mv panel panel.old              then            ls.
[20:35] <david_> shearn89 but nothing happened after it said display isnt set
[20:35] <chamuscas> ActionParsnil, wait a config, i already tried it but =/ didn't find anything usefull
[20:35] <shearn89> david_: ^^
[20:36] <ActionParsni1> chamuscas: does it do it with allapps?
[20:36] <bjytech> hey when I enable the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" driver after I re-boot all I get is a gray screen, any ideas?
[20:36] <david_> shearn89 but when I type in cd etc., it says command not found
[20:36] <ActionParsni1> bjytech: what nvidia do you have?
[20:36] <bjytech> 8600gt m
[20:36] <shearn89> david_:  you have to put the space between "cd" and "~/.gconf/apps"
[20:37] <ActionParsni1> bjytech: try removing it then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[20:37] <chamuscas> ActionParsnil, are we talking about the same problem :p, it's like this when i use a windows program two overlapped screens appear
[20:37] <david_> shearn89 I have tried that but still the same.  Let's not waste anymore of your time... Thanks anyway
[20:37] <bjytech> ok
[20:37] <ActionParsni1> bjytech: ive not set that card up myself
[20:37] <Bruce_Wayne> hi .. how do i register a nick ? and how do i get irssi to bring me here as soon as it starts ?
[20:37] <chamuscas> ActionParsnil, i have a ati
[20:37] <shearn89> david_: oh well... sorry. sounds quite messed up if cd isn't even there.
[20:37] <Slart> !register | Bruce_Wayne
[20:37] <ActionParsni1> !register | Bruce_Wayne
[20:37] <david_> shearn89 thks again wishe me luck
[20:37] <Slart> Bruce_Wayne: and you need to add servers and channels in irssi.. check the help file or the irssi site
[20:37] <shearn89> david_: good luck mate! i'd go for a reinstall. sounds totally screwed.
[20:38] <Bruce_Wayne> Slart: thanks
[20:38] <shearn89> Bruce_Wayne: do a google for "irssi autostart script" or something similar.
[20:38]  * shearn89 is going to get ready to go out.
[20:38] <Slart> cd isn't an executable file.. it's not like you can loose it..
[20:38] <shearn89> Slart: either way, its well messed.
[20:39] <Bruce_Wayne> Slart: how does one do a dcc file send thru irssi ?
[20:39] <jgold> Hello.  I'm trying to use a blur filter with the gimp on Ubuntu 8.04, but all of the individual blur options (gaussian and so on) are grayed out.  How can I fix that?
[20:39] <qb|work>  /dcc i guess?
[20:39] <Slart> Bruce_Wayne: no idea.. haven't tried
[20:39] <MasterAslan> does anyone know how to enable channels 12-13 on wireless.  Specifically with b43 drivers.
[20:39] <jgold> I've tried a few google searches on the topic but found nothing informative.
[20:40] <Tanalark> hi, all.
[20:40] <Tanalark> so.. .quick questions:
[20:40] <Slart> jgold: what kind of image are you editing?
[20:40] <jgold> It's an XCF.
[20:40] <Tanalark> how do I find out what kernel I'm using?
[20:40] <Bodsda> jgold, you may have more luck in #gimp
[20:40] <MasterAslan> Tanalark: uname -r
[20:40] <shearn89> jgold: have you installed all the extras?
[20:40] <jgold> Bodsda: thanks.  I'll try that.  Though this doesn't seem to happen on Fedora.
[20:40] <Slart> jgold: not all filters are available for all formats.. ie 2 color black and white  and so on
[20:40] <Tanalark> also, I'm working with an Intel Wireless Pro 3945 ABG card..
[20:40] <jgold> shearn89: what extras?
[20:41] <jgold> shearn89: do I need some additional package?  What's the name of it?
[20:41] <Tanalark> apparently Hardy stopped including the specific driver for that card, so I'm trying to find it.
[20:41] <jgold> What would have filters?
[20:41] <Mixed_--_> anyone knows how to setup a file and printer sharing only to local IP's???
[20:41] <Bodsda> jgold, it seems strange that the blurs are greyed out, heir standard so no extras needed afaik -- maybe try reinstalling gimp as a last resort
[20:41] <Bruce_Wayne> does anyone know how to dcc file send in irssi ?
[20:41] <Tanalark> I heard that iwlwifi is the thing to use, but I don't know how to find and install it.
[20:41] <jgold> Bodsda: okay, I'll give that a shot.  Thanks for the suggestions.
[20:41] <Slart> jgold: try just selecting new, template 640x480.. then see if blur is still disabled
[20:41] <Bodsda> no probs jgold :)
[20:41] <erUSUL> Bruce_Wayne: /dcc send nick file (or something like that) &help dcc has all the details
[20:41] <Tanalark> by the way, thanks, MasterAslan
[20:41] <MasterAslan> yw
[20:42] <Grenyaris> Running Ubuntu server, and I create a new user account with password, then login, and it tells me "no directory. logging in with home=/"   SO what did I do wrong?
[20:42] <jgold> Slart: aha!  It's not grayed out on that!  That should enable me to work around the issue.  Thank you!
[20:42] <[T]ank> what program handles a .uif extension?
[20:42] <Bodsda> Grenyaris, can you confirm the directory definately doesnt exist?
[20:42] <Slart> jgold: check colour depth, if you're using RGB and so on
[20:42] <greencookie> Where can I get a list of native ubuntu apps?(like xclock)
[20:43] <Bruce_Wayne> help dcc
[20:43] <jgold> Slart: will do.  Thanks again.
[20:43] <Tanalark> ok.. so it looks like i'm using the 2.6.24-19 kernel... which is supposed to have iwlwifi drivers already installed.
[20:43] <Grenyaris> I didn't create the directory, and yes, it does not exist...I though it created everything on first login?
[20:43] <Sonderblade> is j2ee available as an ubuntu package?
[20:43] <Tanalark> but my wireless card is still going crazy.  any ideas?
[20:43] <rockyrock> i can't update my system! I always get this error when i try to reload Synatpic list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/55393/  any ideas?
[20:44] <jgold> Slart: it's indexed color.  That makes sense.
[20:44] <Slart> rockyrock: try using another mirror
[20:44] <Slart> jgold: yes.. that would make sense
[20:44] <MasterAslan> anyone know how to enable wireless channels 12 and 13?
[20:44] <stweston> hello, all. I'm having trouble installing Lynx on my Ubuntu Server install.
[20:45] <rockyrock> Slart: i dont want to do that! I have a slow internet!
[20:45] <kane77> Slart, I'm back.. The problem seemed to fix itself.. I rebooted and booted into livecd, one of the disks was missing there, I turned off the computer and then turned it on and booted normal system and everything seems to be in order..
[20:45] <rockyrock> Slart: i have Dialup
[20:45] <Slart> kane77: well.. let's blame .. eh.. solar flares then =)
[20:45] <rockyrock> Slart: do you have another solution?
[20:45] <stweston> anyone?
[20:45] <Bodsda> Grenyaris, yes it should -- not too sure hat the prob is -- have you tried creating the user again?
[20:45] <Slart> rockyrock: why would that keep you from changing mirrors?
[20:46] <Tanalark> anyone?
[20:46] <kane77> Slart, hmm.. let's. It is very weird and I'm not sure if I should be worried about my disk.. What can I do to check it?
[20:46] <rockyrock> Slart: cuz the system will reload the source list again from start!
[20:46] <guntbert> Grenyaris: how did you create the new user? with adduser?
[20:46] <stweston> I need help installing Lynx on my Ubuntu Server installation.
[20:46] <stweston> can anyone help?
[20:47] <anders_> isn't it in the repos ?
[20:47] <Slart> Tanalark: if you don't get an answer just repeat your questions every 10 minutes or so.. that will give newly arrived people a chance to see it.. just asking "anyone?" in this channel usually get drowned out.. noone wants to search for your last line to see what the actual problem was
[20:47] <anders_> try sudo apt-get install lynx
[20:47] <stweston> I did
[20:47] <stweston> it doesn't work
[20:47] <anders_> can you be more specific ?
[20:47] <stweston> I'm getting errors
[20:47] <serge> cwirc
[20:47] <Slart> kane77: you can use s.m.a.r.t if your disk supports it.. take a look at smartctl
[20:47] <stweston> saying "the package has no installation candidate"
[20:47] <greencookie> what program displays my computer information like memory usage and hdd space. something like the applet in fluxbox.
[20:48] <pronoy_> how do i uninstall wine and reinstall it ??
[20:48] <Guest28212> I have lost my menu bars top/bottom of the screen. Thru terminal can I burn files to disc????
[20:48] <Slart> rockyrock: well.. you're going to have to reload that list anyways.. if you don't want to reload it you can ignore the error
[20:48] <mstrobert> Guest28212, genisoimage -R -J . > /tmp/iso && wodim speed=8 /tmp/iso
[20:48] <rockyrock> Slart: but that error will be fixed by the server's owner right?
[20:49] <Tanalark> My Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG wireless card is going crazy.  I heard the way to go was to use iwlwifi, but I'm using the 2.6.24-19 kernel... which is supposed to have iwlwifi drivers already installed.  any ideas?
[20:49] <Slart> rockyrock: might be.. but you'll never know if you don't reload the list
[20:49] <Guest28212> mstrobert - dont understand. Once I am in terminal what do I type in?
[20:49] <MasterAslan> pronoy_: sudo apt-get purge wine
[20:49] <rockyrock> Slart: i like Japanese servers they're very fast
[20:49] <MasterAslan> pronoy_: then sudo apt-get install wine
[20:49] <Slart> greencookie: lshw is a terminal command for it.. there might be a gui tool too
[20:49] <mstrobert> Guest28212, go to the dir that you want to burn to CD. Then type:  genisoimage -R -J . > /tmp/iso && wodim speed=8 /tmp/iso
[20:49] <MasterAslan> Tanalark: in what way is it going crazy?
[20:49] <Slart> rockyrock: then find another japanese mirror
[20:50] <rockyrock> Slart: :(
[20:50] <Tanalark> well, i'm able to use it right now.  But periodically, it will just cut out.  Usually right after I've started a package download or the like.
[20:50] <Tanalark> anything that requires any significant bandwidth
[20:50] <Guest28212> mstrobert I dont have menu bars on the screen so can only use the terminal command. I wont be able to go to any director no?
[20:50] <MasterAslan> Tanalark: and it doesn't do this with windows?
[20:51] <Guest28212> mstrobert after the prompt in the terminal I need to type in what command?
[20:51] <Tanalark> nope.. working just perfectly.
[20:51] <mstrobert> Guest28212, if you have a terminal open, you can change to any directory by typing:   cd  directorynameHere        For example:  cd /home/bob/Documents
[20:51] <Tanalark> never stopped working at all.
[20:51] <greencookie> what is a good resource manager for ubuntu?
[20:51] <mstrobert> Guest28212, then the command you type to burn that directory to CD is: genisoimage -R -J . > /tmp/iso && wodim speed=8 /tmp/iso
[20:51] <brian__> Could someone answer what I hope is a quicky? I want to dual boot my machine with wubi.  My question, is if I install 8.04, will I be able to do an upgrade within Ubuntu when 8.10 comes out, or would I have to reinstall completely?
[20:51] <MasterAslan> Tanalark: to be honest not really sure what to do.
[20:52] <MasterAslan> brian__: yes you will
[20:52] <Slart> greencookie: there is also lshw-gtk ..
[20:52] <Guest28212> mstrobert thks will try
[20:52] <mstrobert> Guest28212, you're welcome. I hope that works for you.
[20:52] <dfgas> i am looking for something to limit what times for example 9pm-8am that kids are not aloud on the computer and stuff like that, how do i do this? what do i need?
[20:52] <Grenyaris> guntbert, yes with adduser, but that is all I used "sudo adduser username"
[20:52] <Tanalark> I understand... do you have any idea where I might go for answers?  I'm at the intellinuxwireless.org website, and they aren't very helpful.
[20:52] <Slart> brian__: these days you should be able to update to the next version when it comes out
[20:52] <brian__> Masteraslan: Thanks a ton! 8.10 still seems a bit buggy, and I'm going to install this on my work computer.
[20:53] <Slart> brian__: there were some problems with the earlier versions.. but the ubuntu guys are getting better =)
[20:53] <MasterAslan> I'm using 8.10 and its been pretty stable
[20:53] <psor> hi all

[20:54] <keyco> can anyone help me with my mic?
[20:54] <guntbert> Grenyaris: you must create the homedir by addding ' --home <place of homedir>' to 'sudo adduser...'
[20:54] <Slart> keyco: don't repeat your question to often, once every 10 minutes is enough
[20:55] <keyco> CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH MY MIC????????????
[20:55] <keyco> TY
[20:55] <Grenyaris> guntbert: so how do I fix it at this point? just add the directories manually?
[20:55] <Slart> keyco: wow.. you really didn't improve at all.. stop with the caps
[20:55] <golden-dragon> hello
[20:55] <Tanalark> 'lo. :)
[20:56] <greencookie> keyco: I can hear you all the way in Minnesota, I don't think you need a mic :)

[20:56] <MasterAslan> dfgas: ^^
[20:56] <mstrobert> Guest28212, yes
[20:56] <guntbert> Grenyaris: or you could delete the user and create her again, have a look at 'man adduser' or type at least 'adduser --help'
[20:57] <golden-dragon> wooow... 1418 users?
[20:57] <johnny87> ciao a tutti
[20:57] <golden-dragon> thats a lot
[20:58] <Slart> golden-dragon: there is an offtopic channel for discussing the awesomeness of #ubuntu.. we try to keep it support only in here
[20:58] <Grenyaris> and one last question, isn't "cd ~" the command to return to the /home/[current logged in user] directory?
[20:58] <Slart> golden-dragon: if you have a question you're more than welcome to ask it =)
[20:58] <paul68> BlueEagle: can  I ask you something in pvt
[20:59] <Slart> Grenyaris: yes
[20:59] <Slart> Grenyaris: or rather.. you return to the home folder of the currently logged in user.. it doesn't have to be in /home/username
[20:59] <guntbert> Grenyaris: yes, but 'cd' is sufficient as well, but it works only, when the homedir exists ;)
[20:59] <golden-dragon> can you DL music in here?
[20:59] <Slart> Grenyaris: but by default that's the place
[21:00] <Slart> golden-dragon: nope
[21:00] <golden-dragon> this is a chat room?

[21:02] <luke> hi, i recently built a system. my MB is a ASUS M3A78 Pro and came with a realtek ALC1200 sound card. my sound is playing but skips every minute or so...
[21:02] <Grenyaris> When I do "cd ~" I get taken to ~, where only one directory exists "Maildir", but if I go to /home there is my "home directory" ...
[21:02] <luke> can anyone help?

[21:02] <pronoy_> can anyone please tell me how to check the version of gimp installed ? Ubuntu
[21:02] <Slart> pronoy_: usually <programname> --version in a terminal
[21:02] <jlilly> Grenyaris: ~ is your home directory /home is a container for all home directories
[21:02] <keyco> well i didnt see that
[21:02] <keyco> sry again
[21:02] <arrrghhh> pronoy_, with synaptic
[21:03] <Tanalark> wouldn't it be on the "about" part of the help menu?
[21:03] <Slart> pronoy_: there's probably an About-dialog in gimp too
[21:03] <Hilikus> is there a way to send output to the console when the script is not running in that same console? the job is running in the background by a different user but i want to see the messages in MY stdout
[21:03] <Grenyaris> Oh, DUH, my bad...
[21:03] <jlilly> Grenyaris: np. :)
[21:04] <pronoy_> Slart: lol......and how do i download the latest version....its saying its already downloaded the latest version...when there's a newer version available !?
[21:04] <Slart> pronoy_: there might be a newer version available from the gime people.. but it has to be packaged, tested and so on before it's available from the repos..
[21:04] <babo> how do i find out how large a folder and it's children is ?
[21:04] <erUSUL> babo: du -hs folder/
[21:05] <pronoy_> Slart: available at getdeb
[21:05] <paul68> goodevening how van I acces my trash through the terminal?
[21:05] <pronoy_> Slart: so i guess its stable
[21:05] <babo> thanks
[21:05] <Slart> pronoy_: so you might not get the absolutely latest version when you install it in ubuntu.. but it will be a version that works
[21:05] <guntbert> congratulations for that effective 'cooling down', thank you > Scunizi
[21:05] <Tanalark> ditot
[21:05] <Slart> pronoy_: if you trust the getdeb people to make that judgement for you, go ahead
[21:05] <Tanalark> ditto, even
[21:06] <justin__> hey, is there anyone that can help me, i am new to ubuntu, and i deleted something i shouldnt have

[21:06] <Slart> pronoy_: you're welcome
[21:06] <jlilly> paul68: it may be a hidden file in either your home folder or desktop folder
[21:06] <Slart> justin__: deleted it using the file manager? or the command line?
[21:06] <guntbert> !trash | paul68
[21:06] <Scunizi> guntbert: I believe in the KISS principle first.. "Keep it simple stu...."  :) thanks.

[21:07] <jlilly> sure.
[21:08] <Guest28212> thks fingers crossed then!
[21:08] <jlilly> you need sudo power to make users anyway
[21:08] <okinoki> Hi. Noob question here: in ifconfig, how do i tell which interface is my wireless card? Both of them say "Link encap: Ethernet"
[21:08] <justin__> the gtk and the other one are gone now
[21:08] <jlilly> okinoki: look at the letters. eth0 is likely hardwired
[21:08] <Slart> justin__: ah.. the gnome-panel..
[21:08] <techsupport> I mapped a network drive in windows server 2003, but i'm getting access denied error when trying to create or browse files, is there anything i could do  ?
[21:08] <erUSUL> okinoki: run "iwconfig" instead
[21:08] <guntbert> Guest28212: have a look at 'adduser --help' first
[21:08] <dZen|n|> hello
[21:08] <okinoki> awesome, thanks erUSUL

[21:09] <justin__> ok
[21:10] <guntbert> Guest28212: did you have a look at 'adduser --help' ?
[21:10] <Tanalark> it's pretty frustrating not to even be able to set the scrolling speed or make the "back" button work on this mouse
[21:10] <Guest28212> guntbert yep tried everything to no avail and Im getting desperate
[21:10] <Slart> justin__: did you get a new empty panel now?

[21:16] <bingungbangett> how can i sarch driver for my notebook webcam ? i've been googling about the manufacture, but can't get any information, anyone help me please, i'd install "camorama webcam viewer", but it won't work and stated "error, could not connect to video device (/dev/video0), please check connection"

[21:17] <m3gab0y> erUSUL this ok but how can i boot ubuntu later?
[21:17] <sevenseeke1> ummm, innocent question, no flames please: I know what Debian thinks, but not Ubuntu... What are your guys thoughts about Python eggs and deb packaging?
[21:17] <ward_> cwill747, are there other ways to solve it aswel?
[21:17] <cwill747> ward_: no idea, i can't solve your problem, that's just what udev is haha
[21:17] <erUSUL> m3gab0y: you will have to configure fedoras grub to boot it
[21:17] <ward_> cwill747, lol ok no problem thanx :)
[21:18] <erUSUL> m3gab0y: sorry but i'm away as of now. good luck

[21:19] <emorris> hi, my webcam on /dev/video0 has been working fine up until now, but recently is has just stopped working, and I get errors like mplayer: could not connect to socket, mplayer: No such file or directory. Are there any troubleshooting steps I could look at, or does this sound like a hardware problem?
[21:20] <spsneo> how to use bzr behind proxy server?
[21:20] <guntbert> sevenseeke1: I'm sure you will find partners for such a discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[21:20] <sevenseeke1> guntbert: thank  you, I appreciate any input as I am now getting back into packaging
[21:21] <Chaotic_Descent> It's not just FireFox. all my applications seem to have hidden files set to display. but not the regular file browser. (uh... what's it called? Nautilus?)
[21:21] <Chaotic_Descent> but I can't find a setting to turn it off.
[21:21] <moo_cow> is there any reason i should not use oss4?
[21:22] <moo_cow> could someone tell me the difference between oss4 and alsa. i may have to use oss4 to have sound :\
[21:22] <Slart> moo_cow: creative x-fi user?
[21:22] <moo_cow> Slart: yes :\
[21:23] <bingungbangett> how can i sarch driver for my notebook webcam ? i've been googling about the manufacture, but can't get any information, anyone help me please, i'd install "camorama webcam viewer", but it won't work and stated "error, could not connect to video device (/dev/video0), please check connection"
[21:23] <Slart> moo_cow: I think oss is an older sound system... there might be problems with more than one process using the soundcard and such
[21:23] <Chaotic_Descent> what is the file browser used for uploading/downloading/saving/loading called that's not Nautilus?
[21:23] <moo_cow> Slart: it appears that the xfi beta driver doesnt work with all xfi cards. it looks like all xfi cards are listed except the one i have, the titanium.
[21:23] <Slart> moo_cow: alsa and especially alsa with pulseaudio handles that much better.. there might be other advantages for alsa over oss too
[21:24] <moo_cow> Slart: is there no way to have eax 5 for gaming and having working alsa sound in linux on a dual boot system?
[21:24] <zebralinux> My Desktop icon got accendtily renamed, when i renamed i back it wont have the same function, any help !!
[21:24] <techsupport> can anyone help me with samba ?
[21:24] <Slart> moo_cow: I wouldn't know.. I just know that creative are some very nasty people.. (and should be the first against the wall when the revolution comes) =).. I still have a creative card myself but it's an audigy
[21:25] <guntbert> Chaotic_Descent: many programs have their file-dialogues built in, I don't think, there will be options to configure
[21:25] <moo_cow> Slart: there tech support is really nasty to talk to also
[21:25] <moo_cow> s/there/their
[21:25] <agyament> hi
[21:25] <chino> you guys aren'te running firefox through aoss and then flash blocks sound
[21:26] <Slart> moo_cow: well.. since creative doesn't release any info about their cards it might be hard
[21:26] <agyament> does anyone know here, that how can I download the internet ?
[21:26] <Chaotic_Descent> guntbert: there is, because it wasn't always like this, and many applications seem to use the same application to upload/download/save/load files.
[21:26] <Slart> !hu | agyament
[21:26] <moo_cow> Slart: are other sound card companies releasing info on their cards?
[21:26] <zebralinux> anyone know how to get Desktop icon back ???????????????
[21:26] <Slart> moo_cow: I don't know.. but they seem to be better supported in linux at least
[21:26] <guntbert> Chaotic_Descent: maybe, but I'm not aware of it, sorry
[21:27] <moo_cow> Slart: not sure why oss4 can work with xfi but alsa cant come up with an implementation for them
[21:27] <greencookie> agyament: you want to download the internet? hmmm :)
[21:27] <Slart> moo_cow: but it's really just the x-fi series that doesn't work, afaik
[21:27] <tyoc> SOme of you know which is the name for the nvidia drivers in 8.10?
[21:27] <Chaotic_Descent> It's just really hard to go into "my documents" when it's 6 pages down past all these hidden folders, but it's 3 pages up from the bottom. UHG!
[21:27] <emorris> !ask | techsupport
[21:27] <bingungbangett> anyone can help me out with the webcam  pls
[21:27] <crimsun> Slart: / moo_cow: careful.  Certain X-Fi models /do/ work, because they're just rebranded Audigy LSes using ca0106.
[21:27] <moo_cow> Slart: do you think that will change in the future?
[21:27] <Chaotic_Descent> This is very inconvenient not to be able to turn off hidden files. :P
[21:27] <jamieyg3> hey im a new linux user and i installed ubuntu.. how come the fonts, like while browsing the web, look like shit compared to windows?
[21:27] <agyament> greencookie: yes all of it
[21:28] <techsupport> emorris, thanx, i have been asking the question for the past 2 days and no one is replying , perhaps you could help ?
[21:28] <zebralinux> bingungbangett, yes, use amsn, it has support for webcams
[21:28] <Slart> moo_cow: I sure hope so.. or someone else will step in a start selling a good sound card with linux drivers
[21:28] <guntbert> !language | jamieyg3
[21:28] <Tanalark> kind of in the same boat with you, Jamieyg3.
[21:28] <Slart> moo_cow: but for the x-fi cards... I don't know.. I think they reverseengineered the audigy cards so it might be possible
[21:28] <emorris> techsupport: probably not, but just ask the question
[21:28] <bingungbangett> zebralinux : no i meant i can't use my webcam from my notebook in ubuntu, maybe the driver, but i can't find out what kind of webcam i have here
[21:28] <jaksa> how can i download computer?
[21:29] <Tanalark> anyway... i'm off for now.. thanks for the help
[21:29] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: lsusb
[21:29] <emorris> techsupport: as you can see, it is very busy in here, so answers are variable
[21:29] <Slart> jamieyg3: tried installing the microsoft fonts?

[21:29] <zebralinux> bingungbangett, you have a 9 inch eee notbook ?
[21:29] <jaksa> :D
[21:29] <bingungbangett> blueagle : what's the exact command in terminal for lsusb
[21:29] <BlueEagle> moo_cow: Good.
[21:29] <techsupport> emorris, ok, i mapped a network drive in windows, the path to the drive is /media/500gbBackup on my ubuntu server,
[21:29] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: that would be: lsusb
[21:29] <bingungbangett> zebralinux : benq s41-455
[21:29] <jamieyg3> slart no i would have no idea how to do that haha
[21:29] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: You might need to have root privileges.

[21:30] <smoovep> php mail() .. where is it .. is it in php.ini ??
[21:30] <Slart> jamieyg3: "sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts" in a terminal
[21:30] <xbxb> Is it a general policy for freshly installed linux applications to look into the user's home directory and check if the app's corresponding folder already exist and if so, use it? So that they'll take over the settings & logs of the last installation?
[21:30] <emorris> techsupport: are your permissions in /etc/fstab ok?
[21:30] <zebralinux> anyone know how to get Desktop directory back ????????
[21:30] <Slart> jamieyg3: it might not be enough.. some website creators do weird things with browser detecting. but it might make it a little better
[21:31] <jamieyg3> ok thanks
[21:31] <smoovep> program is calling @mail .. its php .. but where do i define smtp.. is it php.ini?
[21:31] <jamieyg3> it seems to be installing in my terminal window now
[21:31] <bingungbangett> blueeagle : just some info about BUS, broadcom corp., and suyin corp. -- what's that mean ?
[21:31] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: Those are all the devices connected to your usb ports. Most likely one of them identify your webcam
[21:32] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: And from that we can determine which driver you need.
[21:32] <techsupport> emorris, i didnt even know about that ... going to look now
[21:32] <techsupport> emorris, any hints on what i should set there ?
[21:32] <BlueEagle> !paste > bingungbangett
[21:32] <guntbert> bingungbangett: pastebin the output of lsusb, and tell us the url

[21:34] <jamieyg3> what is a good irc client for ubuntu
[21:34] <dmsuperman> All machines are on the exact same subnet
[21:34] <emorris> techsupport: I thought there would have been a man page, but there doesn't seem to be one.
[21:34] <BlueEagle> jamieyg3: I prefer irssi.
[21:34] <dmsuperman> Behind the same physical router, even
[21:34] <zebralinux> jamieyg3, xchat is awesome
[21:34] <Slart> patapuma: google thinks beige is more common.. might be a language thing though
[21:35] <dmsuperman> zebralinux: mkdir ~/Desktop

[21:36] <dmsuperman> I'm having issues connecting from an ubuntu machine to a windows machine over mysql. This basically sums it up pretty well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300730 It takes about 5 seconds just to connect to the server, in linux only, no matter what tool I use (mysql cli, php, sqlyog, etc.). Once connected, it's fast. All machines are behind the same physical router

[21:36] <Guest65941> My gnome desktop is missing the menu bars at the top and bottom when I started my computer today. Last night I deleted quite a lot from the computer so I deleted something I shouldn't. Is there an easy way to reinstate??
[21:37] <dmsuperman> zebralinux: (~ is the same as /home/current_user)
[21:37] <emorris> techsupport: a bit
[21:37] <jamieyg3> slart, oh ok thanks, i just googled xchat and there was a download button

[21:37] <dmsuperman> zebralinux: I just told you mkdir ~/Desktop recreates it
[21:37] <Slart> jamieyg3: most linux distros has some kind of system for downloading/installing software.. debian and ubuntu uses apt.. it insures that software works together and is at least a little tested
[21:38] <bingungbangett> blueeagle : it's impossible to detached, it attached permantely on my notebook screen
[21:38] <Gin> I am copying files form one drive to another and I am only getting 4.2 MB/s they are both sata drives. any one knows why it is so slow?
[21:38] <emorris> techsupport: i thought you were going to paste your fstab
[21:38] <zebralinux> dmsuperman,  why dont shortcuts created on to desktop end up in Desktop ??
[21:38] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: Ahh.. buildt in. Which make and model notebook do you have then?
[21:38] <jamieyg3> slart, ah ok thanks, i had no idea haha
[21:38] <dmsuperman> zebralinux: I don't know what you mean...desktop icons end up on desktop, yeah
[21:38] <Guest65941> Is there any way I can divide my computer to keep all files etc., separate from programs?
[21:39] <dmsuperman> Guest65941: They're called folders
[21:39] <albuntu> Gin : is the sata support in bios active ?
[21:39] <bingungbangett> blueeagle : benq s41-455 --- tried to find the information by googling, can't get any of them, just 1.3mpx webcam
[21:39] <Slart> Gin: both internal drives?
[21:39] <zebralinux> dmsuperman,  ok but can u try this:  mv Desktop desktop
[21:39] <Guest65941> dmsuperman thks.
[21:39] <guntbert> BlueEagle: bingungbangett webcam is probably from suyin, as I have the same broadcom device and no webcam
[21:39] <dmsuperman> zebralinux: ...why
[21:39] <Slart> Guest65941: install your home folder on a separate partition
[21:39] <Gin> Slart, yes, they are both internal drives
[21:39] <zebralinux> dmsuperman,  rename your Desktop directory
[21:39] <jamieyg3_> hey i made it in xchat
[21:39] <zebralinux> see what happends
[21:39] <Gin> albuntu, ut should be active. it is a new mobo
[21:39] <dmsuperman> zebralinux: No
[21:39] <BlueEagle> guntbert bingungbangett: That would probably make the broadcom some bluetooth thingy then?
[21:39] <ward_> there is some little tool tool to graphically view your connections, does anyone know the name? i forgot it and i need it
[21:39] <zebralinux> lol
[21:39] <Guest65941> Slart does this mean I have to reinstall the programs to do that
[21:39] <Slart> Gin: well.. it sounds awfully slow.. I get about 10x that speed.
[21:39] <ward_> its apt-getable
[21:39] <Tundrayeti311> Guest65941: You could use a partition
[21:40] <thalin> anybody know if the intrepid-server daily build is supposed to have e1000 reenabled?

[21:40] <Guest65941> Tundrayeti311 thks
[21:40] <dmsuperman> zebralinux: No, thanks
[21:40] <thalin> Slart: thanks, will check there

[21:41] <guntbert> bingungbangett: so your webcam seems to be manufactured by Suyin Corp., search for that for a start
[21:42] <Slart> Guest65941: just create a partition and copy your home folder to it
[21:42] <BlueEagle> b4d_ace: try installing luvcview

[21:42] <hadronzoo> I'm having a problem getting multiple monitors working in Hardy.  Both monitors are recognized perfectly and cloning works, but it is impossible to make one screen to the right or left of the primary screen.  They always overlap.

[21:42] <georgeaf> anyone interested in helping me in a HUGE pppd prob ?
[21:42] <bingungbangett> blueeagle : ok
[21:42] <albuntu> Gin : from what i read there you have to check your HD jumpers
[21:42] <ward_> Slart, huh its not in the repo :s
[21:43] <ward_> Slart, aaaah it was etherape
[21:43] <Slart> Guest65941: partitioning is done using gparted.. or system, administration, partition editor
[21:43] <emorris> techsupport: not sure to be honest, you may/probably will get better answers in #samba, or if not, #linux
[21:43] <zebralinux> dmsuperman,  ok but that will recreate the directory but not its functionallity
[21:43] <ward_> Slart, thats allmost a clone of etherman
[21:43] <Slart> ward_: ah.. they might have changed the name.. or something
[21:43] <bingungbangett> blueeagle : luvcview -- can't find any from my add/remove application
[21:43] <zebralinux> dmsuperman,  If you look att the directory in nautilus u see it has a special emblem on it
[21:44] <georgeaf> anybody good in pppd enough to solve my prob ?
[21:44] <Guest65941> Slart so if I go to terminal (which I can still do without my menu bars) what do I type in?
[21:44] <zebralinux> dmsuperman, how to get that ??
[21:44] <albuntu> !ask | georgeaf
[21:44] <hadronzoo> I know I probably need to setup a virtual screen in xorg.conf, but I was hoping Hardy would do it for me
[21:44] <Slart> Guest65941: you need to create a partition that's big enough for your files.. copy everything to it.. I'm not really sure how to keep the installer from killing it but there ought to be a way.. please do a backup first though
[21:44] <Guest65941> Slart I cant get into sysem, administration etc., as I have no menu bars
[21:44] <sevenseeke1> packaging question: if packaging a module for an existing package... that module does not use versions except for the parent application's version, then do I use that version for the module or a date and svn repos revision?

[21:45] <georgeaf> but it's somehow big
[21:45] <jamieyg3_> made it here with irssi
[21:45] <Slart> Guest65941: if that doesn't work you have to install it first.. sudo apt-get install gparted
[21:45] <Guest65941> Slart could I just try terminal and type in gksudo gparted
[21:45] <Slart> jamieyg3_: congrats.. like it?

[21:46] <Guest65941> Slart once I have created a new partition what do I do

[22:25] <BenB> albuntu: I know pastebin, thanks. these were just 2 lines.
[22:25] <albuntu> BenB : isnt it more simple for you to dump the database to a file and import it at the new database ?
[22:25] <BenB> albuntu: no.
[22:25] <Gin> i want to fs check my /home and / partition
[22:26] <erUSUL> Gin: "sudo touch /forcefsck"
[22:26] <BenB> albuntu: but it's an alternative, if I can't get this solves.
[22:26] <albuntu> BenB : maybe #mysql can help you better with your problem
[22:26] <yash> HtheB ubuntu will not install. it displays the busybox dialog... then goes like status: {DRDY} [ XXX.XXXX] ata01.exception.....
[22:27] <Gin> erUSUL, how can you tell i de defragment the partitions?
[22:27] <yash> then goes on like this for long time until i reboot
[22:27] <erUSUL> Gin: no defragmenters in linux (except xfs afaik)
[22:27] <erUSUL> !defragment
[22:27] <erUSUL> !fragmentation
[22:27] <HtheB> do you have an original ubuntu CD?

[22:29] <MetalHeadDead> what is the best torrent client for ubuntu?
[22:30] <albuntu> BenB : look if your user is in the mysql group
[22:30] <erUSUL> !best | MetalHeadDead
[22:30] <erUSUL> !torrents | MetalHeadDead
[22:30] <angus> hi
[22:30] <erUSUL> !torrent | MetalHeadDead
[22:30] <MetalHeadDead> ok.... what is the preferred client
[22:30]  * erUSUL flooding the channel ...
[22:30] <MetalHeadDead> im using transmission and it's slow, what are the other options?
[22:30] <albuntu> MetalHeadDead : i use kde and for me ktorrent is perfect
[22:31] <erUSUL> MetalHeadDead: transmission is what is installed by default
[22:31] <MetalHeadDead> ok thanks, i'll check out ktorrent
[22:31] <erUSUL> MetalHeadDead: i use deluge-torrent
[22:31] <albuntu> MetalHeadDead : if its slow you have to check port forwarding
[22:31] <zen4u> can't mount usb mem stick fat 32, any ideas?
[22:31] <return13> MetalHeadDead, - i really like rtorrent
[22:32] <MetalHeadDead> albuntu: it's really slow 182 b/x
[22:32] <MetalHeadDead> b/s
[22:32] <vassler> does anyone know how to remove bass in a mp3, and/or increase volume?
[22:32] <HtheB> What is the best "windows vista" look a like "theme" for Ubuntu?
[22:32] <albuntu> MetalHeadDead : check portforwarding because maybe its not a client problem. its the router that is blocking the ports. you are behind a firewall maybe
[22:32] <MetalHeadDead> ahh, now i'ts going faster
[22:33] <HtheB> Tried many, but I cant find the "best" one
[22:33] <HtheB> does anyone has a suggestion? :)
[22:33] <return13> Mean-Machine: rtorrent is a console based client, written in c++ and very fast
[22:33] <dmsuperman> I'm having issues connecting from an ubuntu machine to a windows machine over mysql. This basically sums it up pretty well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300730 It takes about 5 seconds just to connect to the server, in linux only, no matter what tool I use (mysql cli, php, sqlyog, etc.). Once connected, it's fast. All machines are behind the same physical router. Any ideas?
[22:33] <MetalHeadDead> albuntu: it just started off slow im goin at 140 k/s now
[22:33] <vassler> does anyone know how to remove bass in a mp3, and/or increase volume in linux/ubuntu?? pls help me!?
[22:33] <linkmaster03> I need help getting the "Extract Here" option on right-click for .zip files. They open with file-roller but I don't have a right click option. I have the right click option on .tar.gz archives.
[22:34] <dmsuperman> vassler: audacity
[22:34] <return13> MetalHeadDead: rtorrent is a console based client, written in c++ and very fast - there are also nice guis for it
[22:34] <albuntu> MetalHeadDead : ok but anyways check portforwarding.com for your router and you will have full speed making the guides there
[22:34] <vassler> dmsuperman: yes, but how in audacity?
[22:34] <szal> !nvidia
[22:34] <MetalHeadDead> thanks all
[22:34] <dmsuperman> vassler: It has a multitude of ways, you're going to want to research that
[22:35] <dmsuperman> vassler: I know for the volume it has it right in the menus. Install it and play with it before asking to be spoon fed the answer
[22:35] <BenB> albuntu: yes, I have checked them several times: http://pastebin.ca/1223125
[22:35] <belkinhelp2> can someone help me troubleshoot my network?
[22:35] <lukasz_> siema

[22:36] <Flare183> zen4u: I might be able to help
[22:36] <belkinhelp2> hardy heron
[22:36] <moo_cow> belkinhelp2: sounds like a network explosion
[22:36] <Flare183> lol
[22:36] <belkinhelp2> funny
[22:36] <Gusano> idd :)
[22:36] <zen4u> Thanks Flare183
[22:36] <belkinhelp2> adding a pc just made my day
[22:37] <belkinhelp2> turned if off to see what would happen
[22:37] <belkinhelp2> nada...still no other pcs to be found
[22:37] <Flare183> zen4u: ok, open a terminal and type in lsusb, does anything come up? If so pastebin it and give me link for it
[22:37] <vassler> dmsuperman: well thanks for being an ass, and btw, i have install the software months ago and still cant figure it out, and b4 you tell to anything else, know what the heck your doing youself.
[22:37] <belkinhelp2> remote desktop still finds them though...odd huh?
[22:37] <vassler> does anyone know how to remove bass in a mp3, and/or increase volume in linux/ubuntu?? pls help me!?
[22:37] <vassler> other than dmsuperman.
[22:38] <belkinhelp2> so why can remote desktop find them but not the network tab?
[22:38] <Flare183> !language | vassler
[22:38] <carthik> If I switch to vt1 using ctrl-alt-f1 and then back to ctrl-alt-f7, the gdm login screen is not there anymore. Its replaced by some terminal text that says "restarting foo .... restarting bar... etc" what is going on?
[22:38] <belkinhelp2> any network ubuntu gurus here tonight?
[22:38] <Gusano> belkinhelp2: are they in the same workgroup?
[22:38] <moo_cow> belkinhelp2: check if you are in the same network. i assume you are using samba.
[22:38] <dmsuperman> vassler: You asked forh elp, I gave you a valid answer
[22:38] <belkinhelp2> Yes, all in the same workgroup
[22:38] <albuntu> BenB : i am sorry i cant help you. try #mysql . maybe someone knows
[22:38] <moo_cow> belkinhelp2: i meant workgroup not network
[22:38] <belkinhelp2> yes, im using samba
[22:39] <dmsuperman> vassler: Your question of "how" meant you've neverctually looked, because the options are in plain view if you only open a menu
[22:39] <belkinhelp2> yes, all in same workgroup
[22:39] <moo_cow> belkinhelp2: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[22:39]  * HtheB cries
[22:39] <belkinhelp2> moo_cow...i already rebooted the entire PC
[22:39] <belkinhelp2> same result
[22:39] <moo_cow> belkinhelp2: what if u do "connect to server" and choose samba?
[22:39] <linkmaster03> I need help getting the "Extract Here" option on right-click for .zip files. They open with file-roller but I don't have a right click option. I have the right click option on .tar.gz archives. Please help me. (.zip files open with file-roller, but the icon nor the extract here right-click option appear)
[22:40] <moo_cow> belkinhelp2: nmap their windows sharing ports. if they are closed, may be firewalled.
[22:40] <belkinhelp2> Moo_cow....i go through places-network and then "workgroup"....it searches....then nothing
[22:40] <dmsuperman> I'm having issues connecting from an ubuntu machine to a windows machine over mysql. This basically sums it up pretty well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300730 It takes about 5 seconds just to connect to the server, in linux only, no matter what tool I use (mysql cli, php, sqlyog, etc.). Once connected, it's fast. All machines are behind the same physical router. Any ideas?
[22:40] <BenB> albuntu: thanks
[22:40] <belkinhelp2> moo_cow....the other PCs have been fine and online for months now....i simply added a laptop about 5 minutes ago....now none of them appear in the network tab
[22:41] <belkinhelp2> BUT remote desktop can find them...i can log in too
[22:41] <dentistmod> Hello.
[22:41] <moo_cow> belkinhelp2: did you try my other 2 suggestions?
[22:41] <dentistmod> If a NBA player is traded to another team, does he have the right to refuse?
[22:42] <albuntu> dentistmod : only ubuntu players here. lol
[22:42] <dentistmod> ohhh, I see.
[22:42] <Gin> I have a problem with transfer speed form sata to sata drive. the driver from which I transfer to has 2 partitions. a ntfs windows partition and 2 linux partitions (/ and  /home). form windows partition to my other hd (ext3) I get 40MB/s but from my /home partition to that same drive I got 4Mb/s any idea?
[22:42] <belkinhelp2> moo_cow....doing restart now...but like I said...ive alread rebooted once
[22:42] <Prez00> dentistmod: he can refuse only if he wasn't modprobed correctly...
[22:43] <dentistmod> I see, I have no idea what that means.
[22:43] <noobuntu> belkinhelp2: i meant about nmap and nautilus connect to server.
[22:43] <albuntu> Prez00 : hahaha lol
[22:43] <sevenseeke1> tee-hee
[22:43] <pen> any good mind mapping programs?
[22:43] <belkinhelp2> noobuntu....hold please....trying second suggestion now
[22:44] <mjbt38> HOla
[22:44] <sevenseeke1> hahaha, that was great
[22:44] <sevenseeke1> Prez00: +1 for humor
[22:44] <albuntu> Prez00 : maybe try sudo apt-get remove <Player_name>
[22:44] <Flare183> pen: Dia maybe?
[22:44] <pen> Flare183, are you sure?
[22:44] <Flare183> pen: Just try it
[22:44] <sevenseeke1> pen: Semantik
[22:44] <kingtekrin> can anyone help me? I am trying to be able to start up in xp or ubuntu. I have the xp disk and stuff, but I dont know how to create a 40gb partition for the xp... I dont want to use virtual box anymore
[22:45] <Flare183> !dia
[22:45] <Flare183> crap
[22:45] <pen> heh
[22:45] <belkinhelp2> wow...this is new....seahorse nautilus module initialized
[22:45] <belkinhelp2> Initializing nautilus-share extension
[22:45] <belkinhelp2> Segmentation fault
[22:45] <belkinhelp2> what happened here?
[22:45] <belkinhelp2> why is my nautilus fried?
[22:45] <Flare183> kingtekrin: You should have installed XP first then Ubuntu
[22:45] <albuntu> kingtekrin : use the ubuntu live cd. go to system - administration - partition editor
[22:45] <kingtekrin> lol... so there isnt a backwards way?
[22:46] <belkinhelp2> noobuntu....nautilus no work
[22:46] <kingtekrin> look I have had ubuntu for about three weeks, fully
[22:46] <kingtekrin> but now i need xp too...
[22:46] <noobuntu> kingtekrin: if you install xp last in a dual boot, it will remove grub and possibly your linux partitions since the installer doesnt recognize ext3. i had to use testdisk once to recover my files.
[22:46] <Prez00> sevenseeke1, albuntu: funny goes a long way..
[22:46] <belkinhelp2> noobuntu....I just updated to heron
[22:46] <kingtekrin> and virtual box doesnt cut it
[22:46] <kingtekrin> crap
[22:46] <kingtekrin> lol
[22:46] <Gin> something very wrong with my /home partition
[22:46] <danbh_intrepid> Gin: whats wrong?
[22:47] <MetalHeadDead> how often is a new ubuntu released on disk?
[22:47] <albuntu> kingtekrin : as i sad you before use the live cd. install xp in your new partition and reinstall grub
[22:47] <MetalHeadDead> and do you have to have the disk, or can you just d/l the updates
[22:47] <danbh_intrepid> MetalHeadDead: every 6 months
[22:47] <albuntu> MetalHeadDead : 2 times a year
[22:47] <Gin> danbh_intrepid, copying file form that partition I only get 4MB/s
[22:47] <Dr_willis_> MetalHeadDead,  new release every 6 mo.. the 8.04.1 was a bit of an exception since its an LST release.. it wsa a updated in btweeen release
[22:47] <noobuntu> belkinhelp2: not sure if that new ufc firewall in ubuntu. if nmap shows ports not as open, may be a firewall on the windows machines.
[22:47] <BenB> albuntu: turns out ubuntu was at fault indeed: ubuntu uses apparmor by default. I never would have imagined that.
[22:47] <Dr_willis_> BenB,  ive never seen anything bout apparmour being used by default.
[22:47] <danbh_intrepid> Gin: ah, sounds like a hardware problem.  Its ext3,, right?
[22:48] <BenB> albuntu: adding the dir to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld worked.
[22:48] <MetalHeadDead> Dr_willis_: that's what i was wondering, because i used to have version 3 and it wouldnt let me upgrade to 8.04
[22:48] <Dr_willis_> !apparmour
[22:48] <noobuntu> !oss4
[22:48] <noobuntu> !oss
[22:48] <Dr_willis_> !apparmor
[22:48] <MetalHeadDead> now i have 8.04 but when 9 comes out i'll have to d/l the image and reinstall?
[22:48] <BenB> Dr_willis: well, quite obviously it is: http://pastebin.ca/1223128 . when I edited /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld , it worked.
[22:48] <Dr_willis_> i wonder employed = enabled. :) perhaps it does
[22:48] <Gin> danbh_intrepid, yes, don't think it is hardware problem. on the same hd transfering form / I get 40MB/s
[22:48] <danbh_intrepid> !upgrades > MetalHeadDead
[22:48] <albuntu> BenB : maybe you installed apparmor without knowing. i had the same problem with apparmour for a port problem before. i didnt know that it can cause this kind of problem too
[22:49] <danbh_intrepid> Gin: is it ext3?
[22:49] <Gin> danbh_intrepid, it is ext3
