[10:39] <Light-> sjovani: ARCH='uname -m'
[10:39] <egoleo> how can i do that
[10:39] <syder> DIFH-iceroot: yes, i believe so
[10:39] <ikonia> egoleo: why ?
[10:39] <ikonia> egoleo: if you don't know/can't figure it out, your putting your self at danger logging in as root
[10:39] <DIFH-iceroot> syder: belive != know
[10:39] <Light-> cckk: I dont know, my TV tuner was PCI
[10:39] <sjovani> Light-: i686 -> i386, x86_64 -> amd64 or what?

[10:40] <sjovani> Light-: if a have amd64 distribution installed, what output please?
[10:40] <syder> DIFH-iceroot:

[10:40] <ikonia> egoleo: ok - so you don't need to login as root
[10:40] <egoleo> i can change it
[10:40] <egoleo> hmm
[10:40] <Light-> sjovani: sorry, it would output x86_64
[10:40] <egoleo> so how do i fix that plse
[10:40] <ikonia> egoleo: you need to drop into failsafe mode
[10:41] <egoleo> ok
[10:41] <Light-> sjovani: and on my 32-bit install it outputs i686
[10:41] <egoleo> trying that
[10:41] <Kalamot> Light-: Oli` found a fix for my issue , apt-get install libflashsupport
[10:41] <Light-> Kalamot: ok, glad you found one
[10:41] <jgoo> I caved into the pressure of shiny things.
[10:41] <Light-> jgoo: happens to the best of us
[10:42] <jgoo> I am buying a EEE in a moment - just wondered - what is the best route to ubuntu nirvana on EEE? I've seen 7.10 -> 8,04 upgrades with google scripts, I've seen ubuntu-eee, and there is the ubuntu community EEE help
[10:42] <jgoo> anyone running an EEE with fully pimped out ubuntu with not too many show stopping bugs? (I'd like compiz, but ensuring emacs and volume works is better :p)
[10:42] <syder> DIFH-iceroot: are you there?
[10:45] <ramin> hey guys, I just installed x11vnc
[10:45] <ramin> is there anyway from getting the vnc port number to not chagne
[10:45] <ramin> change*
[10:46] <message144> ikonia: is there a way to specify a specific source mirror for an apt-get command?
[10:46] <syder> does anyone else use tor? does it bog your system down?
[10:46] <message144> instead of updating my sources.list
[10:46] <syder> has all the support went to bed?
[10:47] <Oli``> Kalamot: Google. I had the same issue aaages ago so had to look it up again. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio
[10:47] <ramin> yeah, what Im wondering
[10:47] <syder> hello, hello, is anybody in there?
[10:47] <cckk> oli`` = oli pof?
[10:48] <Light-> syder: just ask your question
[10:48] <syder> i have, multiple times
[10:48] <syder> i dont see anyone getting help
[10:48] <Oli``> cckk: don't think so? who's that?
[10:48] <syder> lol
[10:48] <Light-> syder: seems no-one knows the answer then
[10:48] <ramin> yeah
[10:48] <ramin> i never tried tor
[10:48] <syder> n0-seems noone is there
[10:48] <ramin> really
[10:48] <Slart> cckk: ok.. I've googled, searched menus, looked in gconf.. nothing useful about background images.. I can't even change the default background with that tool in the menus.. I'm most disappointed
[10:48] <negge> message144: you can specify which repo to download from like this: apt-get install -t hardy-universe <program>
[10:48] <Kalamot> Oli``: thanks again i'm surprised i could not find the answer in google then :)
[10:49] <syder> thanks ramin
[10:49] <cckk> Oli``: a programmer on xda
[10:49] <ramin> anyone know much about VNC?
[10:49] <Light-> ramin: kind of, whats your problem with it?
[10:49] <message144> negge: ok...
[10:49] <negge> message144: atleast I think that works
[10:49] <cckk> Slart: backround do you mean folder icans?
[10:49] <message144> well I think I am out of luck anyways.. i cant find any mirrors which have the package i need
[10:49] <syder> kind of? ha ha ha ha, thats some help for ya
[10:49] <Oli``> cckk: no, not me =)
[10:49] <ramin> well, I logged in a few times, but my X changed from 0 to 3, and the port went from 5900 to 5903
[10:49] <Slart> cckk: background images for folders in nautilus
[10:49] <negge> message144: have you searched packages.ubuntu.com?
[10:49] <ne2k__> hello all. I'm trying to install Skype using their official skype repository, which has an apt sources.list line of "deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free". The trouble is, my architecture is amd-64, but they only have an i386 repository. I suspect the i386 one might work -- is there a way to pretend my architecture is i386 just for that sources line, or should I...
[10:49] <Slart> cckk: not icons
[10:50] <ne2k__> ...install it manually?
[10:50] <ramin> I need it to stay at 5900
[10:50] <ramin> and at X: 0
[10:50] <syder> !top
[10:50] <syder> .......
[10:50] <negge> ne2k__: check their website to see if there's a 64-bit available first
[10:50] <syder> !cache
[10:50] <negge> if not you can always try to install it, sometimes it works, sometimes not
[10:50] <Kalamot> Oli``: I guess i didnt notice it is an audio problem , so i tried to find the answers in the wrong places :)
[10:50] <Light-> ramin: seems each connection needs a separate port
[10:50] <cckk> Oli``: just hoping lol
[10:50] <MatthewV> ne2k__, or try checking !skype
[10:50] <ramin> well, I don't understand, I have to forward one port at a time
[10:51] <ne2k__> !skype
[10:51] <ramin> and if im outside my house
[10:51] <cckk> slart did you see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338260 i dont have nautlius though i have gnome
[10:51] <ramin> the port would keep changing and I would not have a stable way of knowing what port
[10:51] <ne2k__> negge: this is very obvious, and I have done it already. that's why I asked the question I did. is it possible to pretend what the architecture is for a single apt sources line?
[10:51] <Slart> cckk: nautilus is the file explorer in gnome/ubuntu
[10:51] <ramin> and the port would be blocked sense it's not forwarded by my router
[10:51] <MatthewV> cckk, nautilus is the gnome file browser :) so if you have gnome, you almost certainly have nautilus
[10:51] <Light-> ramin: you're right
[10:51] <Slart> cckk: gnome doesn't do file browsing =)
[10:52] <ramin> I searched
[10:52] <Light-> ramin: sorry, you might want to try asking someone else, I only use VNC inside LAN's
[10:52] <negge> ne2k__: I'm unsure how to do it with apt, but if can get the .deb file you install it using sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <debfile>
[10:52] <ramin> k
[10:52] <ne2k__> negge: I'll just install it manually, thanks
[10:52] <cckk> slart matthewv thank you for the clarifiction
[10:52] <glyn> can anyone help me installing ubuntu on a medion 2080? has usb cd drive n comes up with errors when booting, if so pm me
[10:52] <negge> ne2k__: okay
[10:52] <Slart> cckk: that little program seemed useful.. but it's kind of bad that this feature isn't in there already
[10:52] <ramin> my  backspace button doesn't work
[10:52] <ikonia>  glyn what sort of errors (please don't pm me)
[10:53] <Madsy> glyn: "pm me" works on Quakenet, not on Freenode. Just a headsup.
[10:53] <glyn> sez it cant find usb
[10:53] <ramin> I have to keep hitting it for it to delete every single letter
[10:53] <glyn> irq or something
[10:53] <ikonia> glyn: at what point, does it boot and then fail ?
[10:53] <message144> so, i think i found the pakacge on packages.ubuntu.com, but isnt it not recommended to manually install packages that way?
[10:53] <Slart> ramin: you mean it doesn't repeat?
[10:53] <ramin> doesn't
[10:53] <Slart> ramin: checked system, preferences, keyboard?
[10:53] <ramin> one hit = one letter erased
[10:54] <cckk> slart true is there anywhere we can put request in ?
[10:54] <glyn> i do a nopic nolapic and it seems to boot ok until it gets to the desktop, then it just keeps loading and loading
[10:54] <ramin> I didn't change anything
[10:54] <Slart> cckk: well.. there's brainstorm.. or launchpad..
[10:54] <ramin> so I don't see why that would happen
[10:54] <ikonia> glyn: what do you mean loading and loading ?
[10:54] <negge> message144: only problem with installing "manually" is it won't get updated with apt-get and you have to remove it manually aswell
[10:55] <ikonia> glyn: there is no "loading" message on the desktop, can you please be more specific
[10:55] <glyn> ive left it for ages and it doesnt seem to get any further
[10:55] <ne2k__> negge: yuk, it uses qt
[10:55] <negge> ne2k__: that's bad...
[10:55] <message144> negge: ok... and if i do it manually will it automatically download and install dependencies?
[10:55] <ne2k__> negge: I'll get over it ;-)
[10:55] <glyn> it shows the desktop but no taskbar or icons
[10:55] <negge> message144: nope, but it will tell you which ones you're missing
[10:55] <ikonia> glyn: at what point, you say it loads the desktop - you should be able to move the mouse at that point
[10:55] <Slart> ramin: the computer gnomes sometimes change things at night when noones around =).. (that's gnomes with a S).. or it's a bug.. or you by mistake pressed some weird key combo that changes that
[10:55] <ikonia> glyn: ok - so you get a background and nothing else ?
[10:55] <message144> negge: ok.. so im wondering how I would actually install it manually
[10:56] <message144> heh
[10:56] <negge> message144: on packages.ubuntu.com, which repository does it say it's in?
[10:56] <ramin> perhaps
[10:56] <glyn> yes i can move the mouse but it seems to jump and temporarily lock up
[10:56] <ikonia> message144: dpkg -i file
[10:56] <ramin> i'll just restart
[10:56] <cckk> slart you think its safe to use that code file?
[10:56] <message144> negge: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/php5-cli
[10:56] <ramin> gotta test out some scripts anyway
[10:56] <ramin> my vnc problem may also be solved
[10:56] <ikonia> glyn: the first thing I'd do in that situation is run a cd verification check, make sure your CD is %100
[10:56] <ramin> so i might be back
[10:56] <Slart> cckk: I don't think it will kill your computer.. I don't know if it works
[10:56] <glyn> yes i get a cursor and the orangy desktop
[10:56] <negge> message144: why don't you just use apt-get install php5-cli?
[10:56] <ikonia> glyn: do you have an ATI video card in that laptop ?
[10:56] <Slart> cckk: give it a try..
[10:56] <message144> negge: because none of the mirrors have the version I need
[10:57] <glyn> ive tried several cds
[10:57] <cckk> slart ill report back in a few
[10:57] <glyn> even the proper ubuntu hardy i ordred
[10:57] <glyn> intel graphics
[10:57] <negge> message144: you mean you want another version than the one that is in the repos?
[10:57] <ikonia>  glyn 1.) have you verified the cd with the CD checking tool
[10:57] <message144> negge: yes
[10:57] <glyn> ive used several different cds, dont think its that
[10:58] <ikonia> glyn: have you verified the CD with the CD checking tool
[10:58] <message144> negge: im trying to find /pool/main/p/php5/php5-cli_5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1_i386.deb
[10:58] <glyn> ive used several cds, including hardy cd from canonical
[10:58] <nydexia> hi
[10:59] <ikonia> glyn: well you answer the question please.
[10:59] <negge> message144: http://lug.hampshire.edu/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php5/ they have almost the same one
[10:59] <negge> php5-cli_5.2.4-2ubuntu5.2_i386.deb
[10:59]  * made_of_storm brb
[10:59] <ikonia> glyn: please answer the question, have you used the CD checking tool
[10:59] <message144> negge: but its slightly different
[10:59] <negge> message144: I don't see why you would need that particular version
[10:59] <nydexia> I read from forrums that to install a pcmcia card you have to use modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x0112
[10:59] <glyn> yes ive verified them all
[10:59] <glyn> and they are fine
[10:59] <message144> negge: thats the version that apt-get is looking for when i do apt-get install php5-cli
[10:59] <ikonia> glyn: I'm afraid I don't believe you as you refused to answer that question 3 times
[10:59] <nydexia> how do I find the vendor id and product id for my card?
[10:59] <negge> message144: why can't you just use that version?
[11:00] <message144> negge: because i didnt know that was an option and i dont know how to
[11:00] <glyn> i check them everytime i burn a cd before installing, they are fine
[11:00] <negge> message144: well if you're gonna run some random PHP script from command-line I doubt the version makes any difference, especially since it's such a small difference
[11:00] <ikonia> glyn: why did you not say that 3 - 4 asks ago with a simple "yes"
[11:00] <ikonia> glyn: I'm afraid I don't believe you
[11:00] <glyn> plus i have tried all 3 of them
[11:00] <ilf> got https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/88746 - none of the mentioned solutions work for me. any idea?
[11:00] <negge> message144: you can atleast install it with apt and if it doesn't work you remove it and try to find that specific version you're looking
[11:01] <negge> for
[11:01] <message144> negge: its the "ubuntu5.1" part that is different.. not the php version
[11:01] <negge> message144: yeah but that shouldn't matter
[11:01] <message144> negge: so how would i tell apt to get a differen version?
[11:01] <nydexia> how do I install zte my39 pcmcia evdo card in ubuntu?
[11:01] <glyn> how can all 3 cds get stuck at the same spot? if they hav installed on my other systems perfectly?
[11:01] <negge> message144: you can only get the newest version via apt
[11:02] <eleftherios> I am on 8.04 on a Thinkpad T61. I updated last night and the wireless card stopped working. I use network-manager, I can see the networks, it scans but it never connectes (either to protected or unprotected networks). Any ideas?
[11:02] <message144> negge: so what do you think is the best way to install this?
[11:02] <ikonia> glyn: the tool is not just for checking the CD's it's checking your CD rom also, and as yours is USB and can get flooded with data - thats why I wanted you to check the CD's could be read %100 on the machine your using
[11:02] <ikonia> glyn: but I'm afriad I don't believe what your telling me, so I can't help
[11:02] <negge> message144: I think the only reasonable way to do this is apt-get install php5-cli
[11:03] <glyn> ah thx i didnt realise it checked the drive also
[11:03] <glyn> i thought it just checked the actual cd
[11:03] <negge> message144: then check if it works with whatever it is you're trying to do
[11:03] <glyn> il give it a go
[11:03] <ikonia> glyn: you shouldn't have lied
[11:03] <ikonia> glyn: you said you'd tested it
[11:03] <ikonia> glyn: so you where telling me lies
[11:03] <message144> negge: thats what I originally tried and I got an error which is what brought me to this chan :)
[11:03] <glyn> ive tested them on another computer thats what i meant
[11:03] <negge> message144: what kind of error? from php or ?
[11:03] <ikonia> glyn: don't lie
[11:03] <message144> negge: Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main php5-cli 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1

[11:04] <glyn> i wasnt lieing
[11:04] <ikonia> glyn: I asked specifically if you had used the disk checking tool
[11:04] <ikonia> glyn: I asked 3 - 4 times
[11:04] <negge> message144: you got that when you wrote apt-get install php5-cli?
[11:04] <message144> negge: yes
[11:04] <Raheem> ikonia, glyn .. c'mon
[11:04] <ikonia> Raheem: what ?
[11:04] <negge> message144: then do sudo apt-get update first and then sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[11:04] <message144> negge: you will notice it is looking for an older version that doesnt exist on the repos
[11:04] <Raheem> let him test it again .. that's fair enough
[11:04] <message144> negge: ok...
[11:04] <glyn> yeh, il brb
[11:05] <ikonia> Raheem: when getting info from a user it's important to not be lied to
[11:05] <Raheem> ikonia, it is obvious that most of the issues comes from a bad burn
[11:05] <message144> ikonia: is there any chance of that borking anything?
[11:05] <negge> message144: no
[11:05] <message144> negge: ok
[11:06] <negge> it just updates the list file so it knows which packages are the newest
[11:06] <Raheem> but, pushing too much .. not a good idea .. i am afraid he will run away ;)
[11:06] <message144> negge: hey that worked... thank you very much :)
[11:06] <negge> message144: no problem
[11:06] <negge> message144: always run sudo apt-get update before installing or upgrading
[11:06] <message144> negge: i wish lots of good karma on you.. heh
[11:06] <cckk> slart im installing studio so i guess i cant have another instance of installing apt-get install imagemagick, mono-runtime, zenity concurrently is that right?
[11:06] <negge> message144: hehe thanks
[11:07] <ramin> hey guys
[11:07] <Slart> cckk: nope.. only one instance of installing stuff at a time
[11:07] <ramin> both of my problems were solved by a simple restart :)
[11:07] <Slart> cckk: it will just give you an error if you try
[11:07] <Raheem> ramin, that's good news
[11:07] <ramin> however I have a question
[11:07] <negge> ramin: sometimes that's the case:)
[11:07] <ramin> is there anyway of logging into root using a .sh (shell) script
[11:07] <ramin> automatically
[11:08] <negge> ramin: why would you wanna do that?
[11:08] <ramin> here is the thing
[11:08] <ikonia> Raheem: I am not pushing - I'm explaining that I won't be following up the help as I can't trust what the user is telling me
[11:08] <ramin> on startup, I want a script to mount my harddrives, start my ssh, and start my samba
[11:08] <ramin> but it needs to go into root for some of that
[11:08] <Slart> ramin: sudo can get the password from a text file.. read the man page for sudo.. of course this means the password will either be in the script of cleartext in a file somewhere
[11:09] <Raheem> ikonia, newbies ;)
[11:09] <shah_> hi guys just now top and bottom bars in ubuntu
[11:09] <cckk> slart well in that case ill go home and try im at my office hopefully youre still on in 45 minutes or so
[11:09] <ikonia> Raheem: no - people who lie.
[11:09] <ramin> that's completely fine Slart
[11:09] <Slart> cckk: I'll probably still be here
[11:09] <negge> ramin: ssh and samba should start automatically after you installed them and your harddrives will be mounted if you edit /etc/fstab
[11:09] <ramin> it's my personal machine
[11:09] <JuzzyD> Good evening folks
[11:09] <ramin> hmm, samba does not
[11:10] <ramin> ssh might
[11:10] <JuzzyD> Can anyone help me with an issue with a script I have. please.
[11:10] <DIFH-iceroot> JuzzyD: just ask your question
[11:10] <negge> ramin: I haven't used Samba but SSH starts automatically on startup, that I know
[11:10] <negge> Samba should too I guess
[11:10] <JuzzyD> usage='An error has occurred \n \n Usage: mp4convert INPUTFILE OUTPUTFILE'  when I echo usage, it doesn't display the new lines.
[11:10] <ramin> negge
[11:10] <ramin> what would I put in my fstab
[11:10] <JuzzyD> I was getting to it iceroot! Patience young jedi.
[11:10] <ramin> I tried doing it, had no clue
[11:11] <_jdd_> ramin: you could put that stuff in a bash script in /etc/init.d i think and have the script owned by root:root
[11:11] <ramin> I see
[11:11] <negge> JuzzyD: try using double-quotes instead of single
[11:11] <glyn> guys, it cant read the drive, says usb 4-4: device not accepting address 4/5, error -110
[11:11] <ramin> hey guys
[11:11] <ramin> let me restart against
[11:11] <JuzzyD> Thanks negge!
[11:11] <ramin> again*
[11:11] <glyn> just tried a disc verification
[11:12] <Decepticon> is it possible that i can install ubuntu without a monitor
[11:12] <ramin> and see if samba starts
[11:12] <negge> JuzzyD: did it work?
[11:12] <glyn> n its come up with that
[11:12] <DIFH-iceroot> JuzzyD: "set -x" will show you debug in the shell, so its "easy" to find the problems
[11:12] <negge> Decepticon: of course, if you know what buttons to press and when
[11:12] <kcman> ok i have wine and now i cant seem to get the files i want to use in it to go to that file how do i navigate wine with ubuntu?
[11:12] <JuzzyD> Nope :(
[11:12] <Decepticon> negge is there such a install walkthrough
[11:12] <negge> JuzzyD: typical
[11:13] <negge> Decepticon: not really, it all depends on your system
[11:13] <negge> Decepticon: why don't you just get a monitor
[11:13] <Decepticon> i dont have a car
[11:13] <kcman> anyone here know how to work wine?
[11:13] <MatthewV> kcman, wine stores its files in ~/.wine/ and by default stores programs etc in ~/.wine/drive_c/ if that helps
[11:13] <negge> Decepticon: yeah but you do use a monitor right now right?
[11:13] <Slart> kcman: are you continuing some discussion you started earlier? or was that just a very confusing question?
[11:13] <karname> is graphical tools to wiev connecting program and port to internet in ubuntu?
[11:13] <negge> or have one at home
[11:13] <Decepticon> negge im on a laptop, this is for my headless machine
[11:14] <kcman> Slart i guess i was just being myself and that means confusing
[11:14] <negge> Decepticon: I see
[11:14] <Slart> kcman: ok.. deep breath.. ask the question again..
[11:14] <nicobrain> hello.....
[11:15] <negge> Decepticon: your only option is to get it hooked up to a monitor while installing, there are so many things you have to see while installing that it's practically impossible to do it without one
[11:15] <glyn> rite dun a noapic nolapic and its now checking the cd...
[11:15] <phesto> was just testing ma installation
[11:15] <kcman> Slat how do i get things to install and or move to the wine dir?
[11:15] <JuzzyD> How do i turn this debug thing off sorry folks?
[11:15] <negge> kcman: you double-click setup.exe like you would on Windows
[11:15] <Raheem> kcman, c the post of MatthewV
[11:15] <Decepticon> negge isnt it possible to do a minimal netinstall with no questions asked (some kind of server install) and then upgrade to desktop via ssh vnc
[11:15] <JuzzyD> the opposite of set -x
[11:16] <nicobrain> i have a problem with mounting usb....i become the error-msg:"/media/disk is a folder, but waiting for an file"
[11:16] <Slart> kcman: you install programs by running the regular windows installer.. just as you would do in windows.. the windows files are located in ~/.wine/drive_c/
[11:16] <nicobrain> any idea ?
[11:16] <Slart> kcman: .wine is hidden by default in nautilus.. press ctrl+h to show hidden files
[11:16] <kcman> ok thanks all
[11:16] <JuzzyD> And negge, I found the solution to my linebreak issue. echo needs -e to display them as intended.
[11:16] <Decepticon> negge i really dont want to lug a monitor around on my bike :/
[11:16] <kcman> Slart thank you
[11:16] <Decepticon> or lug my pc around on my bike
[11:16] <negge> Decepticon: of course not but I think it's the only way:D
[11:16] <glyn> lol
[11:17] <microwaver> Anyone experience installing guestadditions in vbox?
[11:17] <negge> JuzzyD: okay:)
[11:17] <ramin> touche.
[11:17] <ramin> you guys were right
[11:17] <Light-> microwaver: yes, click devices>install guest additions
[11:17] <ramin> samba started up as well
[11:17] <karname> slart : some hidden file with ctrl + h don't show
[11:17] <ramin> so yeah, you guys
[11:17] <ramin> all I need to do now
[11:18] <Slart> karname: they don't?.. what kind of files?
[11:18] <microwaver> Light-, nothing happens when i do it.
[11:18] <nicobrain> nobody has an idea?
[11:18] <ramin> is to mount my hard drives using fstab, which I have no clue about
[11:18] <Light-> microwaver: whats your guest OS?
[11:18] <Raheem> dmesg should guide u i believe
[11:18] <microwaver> Light-, i'm running xubuntu and in the vbox is a XP
[11:19] <ramin> I tried searching on google, it's still very confusing
[11:19] <Raheem> nicobrain, dmesg should guide u i believe
[11:19] <karname> slart : i have a folder that show in notepad off wine but in nautilus don't show!
[11:19] <nicobrain> Raheem: sry, i am noob
[11:19] <Light-> microwaver: do the device>install guest addons thing, then in XP go to my computer and see if theres a CD with them on. vbox makes teh guest additions look like a CD rom to the guest OS
[11:19] <nicobrain> Rahem: can i post you the dmesg
[11:20] <Slart> karname: oh.. what kind of folder? where is it located?
[11:20] <microwaver> Light-, thansk
[11:20] <karname> root of drive c of wine
[11:20] <Raheem> !paste
[11:20] <jokkaa> Whats is TK 8.5?
[11:20] <microwaver> Light-, nope
[11:21] <karname> slart : one folder that make by a program that making by autoplaymedia studio that useing for temp
[11:21] <nicobrain> Raheem:http://paste-it.net/public/ladbaa1/
[11:21] <Raheem> nicobrain, paste dmesg errors to http://paste.ubuntu.com .. give the link here. someone will look into it
[11:21] <Light-> microwaver: try the latest version of virtualbox from the virtualbox website, the one in the ubuntu repos is outdated
[11:21] <Slart> karname: and it doesn't show up in nautilus? but you can see it in notepad?
[11:22] <_jdd_> !fstab | ramin
[11:22] <microwaver> Light-, I did
[11:22] <Light-> mocrowaver: ok then thats odd
[11:22] <karname> slart : yes!!!!!!!
[11:22] <ramin> thanks
[11:22] <_jdd_> np
[11:22] <ramin> guys
[11:22] <Light-> microwaver: not sure whats going on there, mine worked out of the box
[11:22] <ramin> if I installed a FTP server, would that automatically start as well?
[11:22] <_jdd_> most likely.
[11:22] <gaelfx> can anyone tell me how to figure out how many routers/switches are between me and the internet?
[11:23] <ramin> k
[11:23] <ramin> i'll get reading then
[11:23] <nicobrain> Raheem:http://paste.ubuntu.com/27969/
[11:24] <ikonia> gaelfx: traceroute will show you the hops
[11:24] <visik7> synaptic doesn't respect my pinning !!!
[11:24] <ikonia> gaelfx: that won't show any dumb switches though
[11:25] <gaelfx> ikonia: cool, but what address should I traceroute?
[11:25] <gaelfx> ikonia: any webpage?
[11:25] <ikonia> gaelfx: well not quite
[11:25] <ikonia> gaelfx: basiclly if you search to anything on the interenet not all the hops will be "to the internet" someone will be from the intenret to the host, so you ahve to work out from the trace where your extenral internat access beings
[11:25] <abchirk> Hi, how I do this; I have more than one usb harddisks with different partitions, every time I connect those, they have other numbers in /media/disk[1-4] or else.. How I do that those partiotions get the same number every time I plug in
[11:25] <gaelfx> ikonia: haha, here comes the fun part...
[11:25] <jbjohns> hi, and support for the yaws service on the latest Ubuntu?
[11:26] <ikonia> gaelfx: shouldn't be too tricky
[11:26] <abchirk> So that I can link some of them into the system
[11:26] <jbjohns> (tried #Erlang but they seem to all be asleep atm)
[11:26] <gaelfx> ikonia: cool, cool, thanks a bunch man, you rock
[11:27] <gaelfx> ikonia: one more for you, do ports need to be forwarded on switches as well, or just routers?
[11:27] <apinunt> Trying to help a friend get his wireless working in ubuntu 8.04, could someone look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/27962/ and tell us if this shows the wireless driver to be installed, and maybe give some advice as to what we need to do in order to make it work. Are there any other relevant commands we could use to provide more info that might help?
[11:27] <bobJR> ive got a question im tryin to automount a vfat usb hard drive im running ubuntu 8.04 my wife clicked some button in administration i cant find it
[11:27] <ikonia> gaelfx: most switches are dumb - so no
[11:27] <ikonia> gaelfx: can I ask what your trying to achieve, I may give you a better answer
[11:27] <bobJR> it manual mounted
[11:27] <bobJR> thats good to
[11:28] <gaelfx> ikonia: well, I want my school to forward ports so uTorrent can listen, but I want to make sure it's not gonna be a ton of work for them
[11:28] <jbjohns> my problem is: Yaws does not act correctly when a client surfs to http://my.server.com/      it gives a 404.  The user has to go to    http://my.server.com/index.html   to see the page.  According to the docs this is not what should happen
[11:28] <gaelfx> ikonia: or I may try to do it myself :P
[11:28] <ikonia> gaelfx: if your perimeter stuff is blocking it (which as I school I would expect) you have no choice in the matter, it's blocked
[11:28] <ikonia> gaelfx: few schools will allow torrenting on their network
[11:28] <_jdd_> apinunt: it looks like the card is working
[11:29] <_jdd_> apinunt: or at least getting an ip
[11:29] <gaelfx> ikonia: my school is in China, and they usually do what I ask :D
[11:29] <ikonia> gaelfx: just ask then, you don't need to work it all out
[11:29] <gaelfx> ikonia: I'm teaching here, so they like me to be happy
[11:29] <abchirk> hm no one? :(
[11:29] <gaelfx> ikonia: yeah, you're probably right
[11:30] <gaelfx> ikonia: but I would like to improve my netfu, so it doesn't hurt knowing these things
[11:30] <ikonia> gaelfx: not at all
[11:30] <_jdd_> apinut: "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid 'my essid'" to make it associate
[11:31] <gaelfx> later taters, thanks again ikonia
[11:31] <kcman> another wine question let say i d/load something that needs to be in the wine dir, i cant just copy and paste how do i get it there?
[11:32] <abchirk> kcman did you load it?
[11:32] <Light-> kcman: yes you can, wine stuff is in ~/.wine
[11:32] <bobJR> is there a button you can click on ubuntu to mount a usb hard drive fat32 i know how to do it with kubuntu and someone said its easy on ubuntu
[11:32] <bobJR> but noone has a answer
[11:32] <Light-> bobJR: plug it in and it should automount
[11:32] <kcman> Light i opened the brows dir and clicked and dragged the file i wanted to move there and nothing happened just gave me error
[11:32] <bobJR> it is pluged in
[11:33] <Light-> kcman: what error?
[11:33] <abchirk> kcman what error?
[11:33] <bobJR> power is on
[11:33] <kcman> ah snap with this many guys asking me these simple question i know i did something stupid on my end i will rework the situation and check back
[11:33] <bobJR> let me try to crawl under my pc and unplug it and plug it back in but i bet it will not work
[11:34] <Light-> bobJR: if it was called /dev/usb, you could try "sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/usb /media/drive" but I dont know what device nodes ubuntu assigns to usb devices
[11:34] <apinunt> _jdd_: So you know if anything needs to be entered into the wireless router we are trying to connect to? When it was purchased it was the last unit available and being used by the shop, and when connected to the system the LAN worked without having to do anything, but not the wireless. To make things more difficult we cannot log into the setup screen as they appear to have changed the...
[11:34] <apinunt> ...default password and we've yet to be given what it is.
[11:34] <abchirk> kcman maybe the directory isn't writeable?
[11:35] <_jdd_> apinunt: there should be a button you can hold in to flush the wireless routers settings on it somewhere, normally near the power in. sometimes it has a sticker over it
[11:35] <christaker> how could i return my starting  services (at boot) to their defaults?
[11:35] <bobJR> thanks light
[11:35] <Light-> hey would "sudo fdisk -l" list USB devoces?
[11:35] <Light-> *devices
[11:35] <ramin> is it fine if I am mounting ntfs partitions in my fstab?
[11:35] <Light-> well, usb block devices anyway
[11:35] <ramin> in the type, i just put ntfs
[11:36] <Light-> ramin: yes that should be fine
[11:36] <ramin> k
[11:36] <apinunt> Light: lsusb, but you may have to install it.
[11:36] <Light-> apinunt: it was for bobJR, who needed to find out what his usb hdd was called in /dev so he could mount it manually
[11:37] <christaker> please help me. How could i return my starting  services (at boot) to their defaults? I run Ubuntu Hardy
[11:37] <apinunt> _jdd_: We've been afraid to do that, thinking it will reset some info we don't know how to re-enter.
[11:38] <_jdd_> apinunt: it should restore it to factory defaults. what type of router is it?
[11:38] <apinunt> Light-: Sorry, I've been having usb problems also and that's as far as I've been able to get.
[11:38] <Light-> christaker: im not sure about resetting to default, but do you have another ubuntu install that you could use to compare services with?
[11:38] <ramin> alright guys, i finished my fstab
[11:38] <ramin> i'll restart to test
[11:38] <ramin> thanks for the help
[11:38] <venkat> Hi.Can any tell me how to play .mp3 songs ?
[11:39] <Slart> !mp3 | venkat
[11:39] <_jdd_> apinunt: I've never seen one that restoring the factory defaults put it in an uninstallable / unrecoverable state. Mostly they just work then, after a little configuring.
[11:39] <Light-> venkat: try and open one in Totem and you will be prompted to install codecs
[11:39] <Heroin> how large should i make my swap size?
[11:39] <Light-> Heron: your ram size+1gb should be safe
[11:39] <db92> anything i can do about annoying firefox crashes by flash?
[11:39] <Slart> Heroin: there's an old rule that says 2xRAM.. but that's a very old rule
[11:39] <Heroin> Light-: i have 2048mb of ram so i made a 2048mb swap
[11:39] <db92> and no i dont have gnash, i use the nonfree
[11:39] <Light-> Heron: if you use hibernate and suspend that is, otherwise just make it 1gb
[11:39] <christaker> Light-: when i reboot OR halt my system it appears very times (loop) a message like : main daemon: Got SIGABRT. Something went very wrong. Going down!
[11:40] <Heroin> Light-: urm.. to late now :P
[11:40] <Heroin> Light-: might resize it
[11:40] <Gorlist> Morning
[11:40] <Light-> Heroin: ok, good luck :)
[11:40] <Gorlist> what you recommend as a easy to use AVI type video editor?
[11:40] <Heroin> Light-: hehe
[11:40] <apinunt> _jdd_: It's a Linksys WAG 200G, and I'm in Thailand and my friend is in Belgium which complicates things somewhat.
[11:40] <Gorlist> to cut and join clips
[11:40] <Slart> Gorlist: avidemux
[11:41] <Light-> Gorlist: try Avidemux
[11:41] <Gorlist> thanks
[11:41] <Light-> anyone know what christaker's error means?
[11:42] <Slart> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/200841
[11:42] <apinunt> _jdd_: We have been hoping the business the router was bought from would avail us the login and/or password so we could copy all the settings before making any changes.
[11:43] <_jdd_> apinunt: http://www-au.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=AU%2FLayout&cid=1175234140873&packedargs=sku%3D1172712873708&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=4087373708B07&displaypage=nodata#versiondetail  (sorry for the long url)
[11:43] <_jdd_> apinunt: contains the manuals and such
[11:43] <Peddy> can someone please tell me how to search for a file on my system that is exactly 226MB? Thanks
[11:43] <christaker> ubottu: it's a bug? what can i do now?
[11:44] <_jdd_> apinunt: you should be fine if you flush the settings, hard wire a comp to it, and use the default admin pass. I don't think it could possibly break anything.
[11:44] <Slart> Peddy: find might have some switches to search for a specific file size..man find for syntax
[11:44] <Slart> christaker: Is the bug causing you any problems? does the computer shut down eventually?
[11:45] <Peddy> Slart, any specific ideas? I don't even know where to begin :O
[11:45] <Light-> Peddy, type "man find
[11:45] <Kartagis> why does apt-get sometimes ask me if i want to continue installing and sometimes it doesn't? depending on the size?
[11:45] <Light-> Peddy, and see of theres a size option
[11:45] <apinunt> _jdd_: We've got the manual, and as we've had little luck getting the login password we may have to resort to the reset and see if any problems arise. Thanks and if stumped we'll be back.
[11:46] <_jdd_> apinunt: Hopefully the wireless is just off in the config. Good luck.
[11:46] <christaker> at shutdown process write this message for many times and then (after 15-20 sec) shutdown normally i think..
[11:47] <apinunt> _jdd_: Thanks again, we'll give it a try.
[11:47] <Slart> Peddy: I've got a simpler solution... right click on your gnome panel (the grey thing where the applications menu is located).. select "+Add to panel".. find the Search for files app.. click ok
[11:47] <_jdd_> np
[11:47] <db92> anything i can do about annoying firefox crashes by flash? i dont have gnash, i use the nonfree
[11:47] <Slart> Peddy now click that new icon on the panel.. you can search for names, sizes, dates etc
[11:47] <ikonia> can anyone remember the correct name the for ubuntu kvm virtual manager front end ?
[11:47] <Peddy> Light-, Slart I'll try those things.
[11:48] <_jdd_> db92: no, I don't think so although someone may have figured something sneaky out.
[11:48] <Peddy> Slart, is the program just called 'search', because I already have tracker installed.
[11:49] <Slart> Peddy: nope.. I didn't mean the tracker search thingy.. although you might be able to use that too
[11:49] <Peddy> Slart, so its just 'search'?
[11:49] <sns> hello
[11:49] <Slart> Peddy:  but I think it only searches files you've already indexed.. that other one "Search for files..." searches everything in the file tree
[11:50] <sns> I need help getting 1366x768 working on my lcd tv using ubuntu 8.04. vga output
[11:50] <sns> paste.ubuntu.com/27972 paste.ubuntu.com/27973 for xorg.conf and xorg log
[11:50] <Kartagis> heh, avidemux plays my avi file in a funny way
[11:51] <db92> what app can i use to record my desktop? like a video, similar to fraps in windows :P
[11:51] <Peddy> Slart, there's no app called 'search for files'. Only 'search', and 'tracker search tool', and some other irrelevant stuff.
[11:51] <Peddy> Slart, I have all repos enabled.
[11:51] <tore_> db92: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/05/194332.php
[11:53] <negge> db92: recordmydesktop or something
[11:53] <christaker> which is the average time to boot at ubuntu? mine takes from splash to see my desktop (auto login) 1:06     i think is bad :S
[11:54] <Slart> Peddy: here's a screenshot of my "Add to panel" window http://i38.tinypic.com/15xvbf5.jpg
[11:55] <Chaotic_Descent> is there a way to open a terminal window in a specific directory without typing out the full path, or editing a text file with sudo without typing out the full path?
[11:55] <Peddy> Slart, oh man I'm sorry, I was looking at my add/remove window :O
[11:55] <Peddy> Slart, I'm trying it now.
[11:55] <Slart> Peddy: hehe.. try again =)
[11:56] <rixth> I've got a weird problem. I have a website, and I have changed the DNS records to point to a new IP. If I use nslookup, or dig, I see the correct, new IP, yet when I use a browser, I go to the old one. This happens with all computers on my network, Linux & Windows.
[11:56] <chriswr> whats the name of the offtopic channel?
[11:56] <rixth> Are there any explanations for this?
[11:56] <Slart> !ot | christaker
[11:56] <Slart> bah.. sorry.. wrong name
[11:56] <chriswr> thnx slart
[11:57] <negge> christaker: it's not bad
[11:58] <christaker> negge: i have heard times about 25-40 sec
[11:58] <_empemp_> can i reinstall ubuntu 8.04 without cd-rom drive?
[11:58] <Slart> _empemp_: you can use an usb stick if you want
[11:59] <_empemp_> i have messed up the installation :)      have /home on separate partition, so just want to have a clean system again
[11:59] <Peddy> Slart, thanks for the help, I'm sure It'll turn something up. Handy tool, btw.
[11:59] <negge> christaker: it depends on your computer and what your system does while it's starting, there are multiple ways of cutting down on the boot time
[11:59] <_empemp_> i can't "upgrade" from an already exsiting installation?
[11:59] <Slart> Peddy: yes, it's nice
[12:00] <Slart> _empemp_: just do a clean reinstall from the system that you have? I don't know.. haven't tried it
[12:00] <dns53> _empemp_ you have another distro on there?
[12:00] <_empemp_> no, the same
[12:00] <_empemp_> 8.04
[12:00] <dns53> _empemp_ so 2 ubuntu installs?
[12:01] <_empemp_> hmm, no. i have 8.04, but have messed it up. want to replace it by a clean install of ubuntu 8.04 again.  But don't have cd-rom
[12:01] <christaker> negge: intel core duo 1.6ghz , 2.5GB ram, hdd@5400rpm, intel graphics 128MB  and default settings
[12:02] <venkat> Hi. how can i play mp3 songs using totem ? i have installed it
[12:02] <dns53> _empemp_ ok, your best option would be to make a bootable usb drive and boot off that when you install it again
[12:03] <_empemp_> not possible to add the .iso live cd image to f.ex a partitoin and link to it from grub?
[12:04] <tim167> what is the default window manager called ? is it Sawfish?
[12:04] <glitsj16> venkat: totem is gstreamer based, sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 will let you enkoy those mp3's
[12:04] <dns53> tim167 metacity for gnome, compiz for effects
[12:04] <smmagic> tim167, Metacity no?
[12:06] <jokkaa> Is there anyone who is pretty good with emerald theme manager? i need some help
[12:06] <venkat> glitsj16 : I have done that.But should i play mp3 files in movie player ?
[12:07] <glitsj16> venkat: yep, totem plays audio & video just fine
[12:07] <dns53> jokkaa i am using it, describe your problem
[12:07] <tim167> dns53: smmagic:  ah, ok thanks, well I have a little problem with Metacity then. In some applications it doesnt bring a window to the foreground when clicking the respective Window List item, instead it first minimises it and only on second click it comes to the foreground...make sense ?
[12:07] <Chaotic_Descent> how can I easily get a fancy long file directory address from the GUI into the terminal? anything with a space is different in the terminal... :(
[12:07] <venkat> glitsj16 : But i can't play them in movie player . Its not playing
[12:07] <smmagic> Im defo not the person to ask.
[12:07] <Trist_an> I am writing a script and I have the full path like /toto/tata/titi.txt and I'd like to have just /toto/tata in a variable. Is there any way to do this?
[12:07] <jokkaa> dns53, how do i get the themes to work? i used import to get them and its in the list, but how do i use it
[12:08] <_jdd_> Trist_an: yes, but how you do it depends on what language the script is in
[12:08] <dns53> jokkaa you need to tell compiz to use the emerald instead of the gtk decorator
[12:08] <Trist_an> _jdd_, it's in bash
[12:08] <jokkaa> dns53, and how is that done?
[12:09] <koshari> jokkaa replace --enerald
[12:09] <koshari> jokkaa sorry emerald
[12:09] <acee1234> i got a new usb wirless adapter but i cant get ubuntu to see it it came with a disk thats says it compatable but i cant figure out how to install the drivers any ideas?
[12:09] <Trist_an> _jdd_, would you know how to do this in bash?
[12:09] <Chaotic_Descent> how do I edit files in the wine fake C: drive? do I just edit the permissions and edit away, or am I supposed to do it a different way?
[12:10] <Skrux> do anyone know why irc sometimes collapse the internet and stops the connection ?
[12:10] <glitsj16> venkat: they play just fine after installing the plugin, but i'll check if you need anything else hang on
[12:10] <jamus> can i install quicktime under ubuntu (compatible?)??
[12:10] <Skrux> obligating me to restart the router
[12:10] <jokkaa> koshari, thx, said i had to install som other app first though..
[12:10] <Trist_an> I execute the script on a file which is in bash the $1 variable and I just need the full path to $1 but without the file name
[12:10] <venkat> glitsj16 : ok
[12:11] <_jdd_> Trist_an: not off the top of my head, but I know there are a few ways. you could possibly use sed. Google for "split string bash" without the quotes
[12:11] <arcsky> how do i unrar a many .rar files in the same time ?
[12:11] <jokkaa> koshari, " replace: No to-string for last from-string" im getting that message..
[12:12] <Trist_an> _jdd_, I thought sed was only to manipulate lines but it would'nt modify something inside a single line...
[12:12] <koshari> jokkaa sorry, wrong way round, "emerald --replace
[12:13] <acee1234> how do you install drivers in ubuntu
[12:13] <_jdd_> Trist_an: you can return matches from sed by placing parentheses around things if I remember correctly. Just a sec
[12:13] <koshari> jokkaa providing you have emerald installed :-)
[12:13] <glitsj16> venkat: there are several gstreamer plugins totem uses, you could check your synaptics and make sure you have at least gstreamer0.10-alsa, gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio, totem-gstreamer .. also the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad *good and *ugly set are very usefull (for video support)
[12:14] <dns53> acee1234 you generaly come with all the drivers you need, there are restricted drivers (binary proprietary)  under system > administration > drivers
[12:14] <_jdd_> Trist_an: as an example, this will output what wireless access point you are currently connected to: iwconfig 2>/dev/null |  sed -n -e 's/.*ESSID:"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p'
[12:14] <chr> hi....i cant find java 6 plugin in synaptic when searching....
[12:15] <_jdd_> Trist_an: \1 refers to the part in parentheses (specifically the first group of parentheses)
[12:15] <jokkaa> koshari, lol thx:p
[12:15] <koshari> acee1234 most drivers should autoload however yo may need to manually load somedrivers with modprobe
[12:15] <acee1234> dns53: ok then perhapse im missing something else i plugged in the adapter but it doesnt show up in if config
[12:16] <chr> do i need extra repositories for java
[12:16] <jokkaa> koshari, still nothin happens..
[12:16] <dns53> acee1234 what hardware?
[12:16] <jokkaa> koshari, do i have to reboot or something
[12:16] <koshari> acee1234 do a dmesg after you attach the device and it will tell you if its detected
[12:17] <acee1234> dns53: alfa G model awus03h
[12:17] <glitsj16> chr: sun-java6-plugin is in regular hardy repo .. no additional repo's required no
[12:17] <Circus-Killer> chr: no, you should find the package called sun-java6-plugin in the repositories
[12:17] <koshari> jokkaa have you installed emerald? what graphics?
[12:17] <ne2k__> if I cd to a directory that is a symbolic link, e.g. ~/PingerLogs -> /usr/local/myapp/var/log/pinger, the shell shows that I am in ~/PingerLogs. there is also a directory called ~/pinger with a file ~/pinger/ip_addrs.txt. from within ~/PingerLogs, I can type cat ../p<tab>/ip<tab> and get the command line cat ../pinger/ip_addrs.txt completed for me. however, cat then reports No such file or...
[12:17] <ne2k__> ...directory, because /usr/local/myapp/var/log/pinger/../pinger/ip_addrs.txt does not exist. is this considered to be a bug? if so, in what?
[12:17] <Trist_an> _jdd_, thabks. In fact , I think what I was looking is the dirname command
[12:17] <jokkaa> koshari, yeah i have installed emerald. and i have the emerlad theme manager installed and running
[12:17] <_jdd_> Trist_an: actually, I just found the utility dirname
[12:18] <_jdd_> Trist_an: which seems to do exactly what you want.
[12:18] <dns53> acee1234 ok wifi can have problems, the hardware manufacturers are hostile to linux, check the wiki and forums for suggestions
[12:19] <Trist_an> _jdd_, thanks ;)
[12:19] <koshari> jokkaa so your 3d is working?   if you change to emerald do your window decorations change?
[12:19] <_jdd_> Trist_an: was about to tell you about it. lol.
[12:19] <acee1234> dns53: it came with linux drivers on the cd. I just dont know what to do with them
[12:19] <jokkaa> koshari, nothing changes, its like it doesnt start
[12:19] <EminX> Hello to all! How come that we always said that installing software on ubuntu is much easier than windows, actually it's not so easy I'm new on ubuntu and I tried to install java manually a lot of problems, first it said I need to install rpm, than again something else, what if I don't have internet ?
[12:21] <PupUserb76c2a> hello
[12:21] <koshari> jokkaa it should at least flash the window decorations if its falling back to metacity
[12:21] <chriswr> can anyone tell me how to get games in kxmame?
[12:21] <PupUserb76c2a> I am using puppy linux now
[12:21] <jokkaa> koshari, nothing happens though... no idea whats wrong ^^
[12:21] <koshari> EminX if you dont have internet you would use a deb, rpms are for RH/fed
[12:21] <PupUserb76c2a> Puppy is nice and trim is there a small version of ubuntu
[12:21] <chriswr> pupuserb76c2a: whats different from it and linux?
[12:22] <chriswr> oh
[12:22] <PupUserb76c2a> its linux
[12:22] <chriswr> i meant ubuntu
[12:22] <PupUserb76c2a> its all good
[12:22] <chriswr> lol
[12:22] <koshari> jokkaa so your 3d is working?
[12:22] <EminX> koshari: thanx a lot, but as i said i'm new and i don't know exactly what is RH/fed
[12:22] <chriswr> do you still have compiz in it?
[12:22] <glitsj16> EminX: for a general install overview in ubuntu, check http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ .. java is in the repo's, do you have any special needs that make you compile it yourself ?
[12:23] <PupUserb76c2a> I want to do a firefly ubuntu
[12:23] <jokkaa> koshari, i dont know. how to check? im running none in the "visual effects" menu
[12:23] <chriswr> i have no idea what that is
[12:23] <koshari> EminX and flash is a bit of a pain as the deb only installs the installer so its adobes fault if you dont have a web connection,
[12:23] <philippe> bonjour
[12:24] <dan_> gday
[12:24] <koshari> jokkaa you need to have at visual effects running to use emerald
[12:24] <jokkaa> koshari, but crap.. i cant activate them
[12:24] <dan_> anyone know how to get alexmark printer working in ubuntu??
[12:24] <philippe> personne ne parle le français ici ?
[12:24] <EminX> glitsj16: I read it there weren't enough info for this kind o files
[12:24] <learner> philippe salut
[12:24] <fanch_> philippe: va sur #ubuntu-fr
[12:24] <philippe> salut learner
[12:24] <koshari> jokkaa and in turn you need to have 3d drivers to run advanced
[12:24] <dan_> anyone?
[12:25] <acee1234> dns53: it has a RTL8187 chipset
[12:25] <dan_> at all?
[12:25] <koshari> jokkaa so again a ask "what graphics card do you have"
[12:25] <jokkaa> koshari,  i dont get this.. it used to work fine with visual effects
[12:25] <glitsj16> EminX: for whick kind of files ?
[12:25] <jokkaa> koshari,  im running a radeon x600
[12:25] <chriswr> does anyone know if fallout 3 will be compatable with linux?
[12:25] <Don64> dan_: ask your question
[12:25] <dan_> i idi
[12:25] <EminX> I've tried to install java jre-6u7...
[12:25] <dan_> i did
[12:25] <Circus-Killer> dan_: for the most part, lexmarks are paper weights when it comes to linux
[12:26] <dan_> thats great
[12:26] <dns53> acee1234 i'm not too familiar with wireless cards so i'm not much help
[12:26] <dan_> but how do i get it working?
[12:26] <Don64> dan_: sorry missed it
[12:26] <EminX> glitsj16: I've tried to install java jre-6u7...
[12:26] <PupUserb76c2a> I want to put ubuntu on a usb drive
[12:26] <Circus-Killer> sorry dan_, but i had to chuck my old lexmark and buy an hp
[12:26] <PupUserb76c2a> 2 meg
[12:26] <dan_> ive read online that people can get em working
[12:27] <Circus-Killer> lexmarks generally dont work at all with linux
[12:27] <Circus-Killer> most lexmarks
[12:27] <koshari> jokkaa i dont use radeon cards because they had crappy drivers for a long time, i hear there better now but i hd no luck with them in linux and use intel/nV now.
[12:27] <dan_> i got x 1140
[12:27] <PupUserb76c2a> mine does
[12:27] <glitsj16> EminX: try "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" .. that's via the ubuntu package manager, no need to compile that
[12:27] <PupUserb76c2a> all the time
[12:27] <dan_> whats that other ubuntu channel?
[12:28] <PupUserb76c2a> I just erase instead of format
[12:28] <Circus-Killer> dan_, im really sorry man, you can keep trying, just telling you from my experience. i had a lexmark, and i threw it out the window and bought an hp because lexmarks dont work in linux
[12:28] <Ham1979> Hello
[12:28] <dan_> thanks for that
[12:28] <jokkaa> koshari, well when i installed ubuntu it asked me if i wanted to install my drivers for the card and it worked properly for a while
[12:28] <PupUserb76c2a> lol
[12:28] <dan_> whats the other ubuntu channel
[12:28] <PupUserb76c2a> im henry
[12:28] <PupUserb76c2a> lol
[12:28] <Ham1979> We have a postfix/courier setup we can see a cur and new folder but can't see any old messages
[12:28] <Chaotic_Descent> help! a wine app resized my desktop, and now I can't change the resolution! the button's off the screen and I can't resize the window that sets it. @_@;
[12:28] <EminX> glitsj16: thanx a lot, and is it possible to get a setup of java that i can install on pc without internet
[12:28] <PupUserb76c2a> E@#$@#$@$ you lol
[12:29] <dns53> dan_ there are lots of ubuntu related channels, what you asking about?
[12:29] <PupUserb76c2a> you people need a sense of humer and respect
[12:29] <chriswr> can anyone tell me how to get games in kxmame?
[12:29] <_jdd_> dan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#Channels
[12:29] <dan_> i was on one the other day
[12:29] <koshari>  jokkaa go to admin > hardware drivers and see if your sys is using restricted radeon drivers
[12:30] <Chaotic_Descent> is there a manual way to change my screen resolution? or like... a certain number of tab button presses from the resolution that gets to the "apply" button?
[12:30] <dan_> it was called somthingubuntu or ubuntu somthing
[12:30] <Pici> !irc | dan_
[12:30] <Chaotic_Descent> oh thank god! it was one more tab button from the last button I could see! whew!
[12:31] <roachmmflhyr> I have loaed a few modules from a patched rtl-8185 driver to get my wifi working but after a restart I has to run insmod XXXXXX.ko commands to get my card working again how can I add this to startup?
[12:31] <jlc> update manager is locking up when I try to install the latest update "libpcre3"  how do I close the process.
[12:31] <glitsj16> EminX: the package you just downloaded and installed still resides on your system at /var/cache/apt/archives .. if you want to install it on another ubuntu machine, backup that entire dir (for possible dependencies) and copy it to the other pc .. there's also a package called aptoncd that might be worth a look for those kind of operations
[12:31] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: edit /etc/modules
[12:31] <jokkaa> koshari, its there, and says its in use
[12:31] <dan_> is there anyway i can see my previous channels in this program--xchat
[12:31] <EminX> glitsj16: thanx a lot
[12:32] <roachmmflhyr> _jdd_, where should I store the modules at?
[12:32] <glitsj16> EminX: you're welcome, np
[12:32] <dan_> is there anyway i can see my previous channels in this program--xchat
[12:32] <jlc> how do I close a process?  update manager is locking up when I try to install the latest update "libpcre3"
[12:32] <dan_> is there anyway i can see my previous channels in this program--xchat
[12:32] <Pici> dan_: Please stop repeating.
[12:32] <koshari> jokkaa see if glxgears works
[12:33] <dan_> please start answering
[12:33] <roachmmflhyr> _jdd_, I just have them in a folder on my Desktop
[12:33] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: i think /lib/modules/`uname -r`/something/something is the normal place for them
[12:33] <CanOfRats> how can i make a split archive...like for example, i have a 10 gb file that i want to split into 10 1gb pieces?
[12:33] <dan_> is there anyway i can see my previous channels in this program--xchat
[12:33] <Pici> !attitude | dan_
[12:33] <dan_> is there anyway i can see my previous channels in this program--xchat
[12:33] <dns53> dan_ look in the directory ~/.xchat2/scrollback/FreeNode for the chat history
[12:33] <CanOfRats> how can i make a split archive...like for example, i have a 10 gb file that i want to split into 10 1gb pieces?
[12:33] <dan_> wheres that?
[12:34] <jokkaa> koshari, shows me three wheels spinning eachothers
[12:34] <Slart> CanOfRats: split
[12:34] <CanOfRats> ?
[12:34] <Slart> CanOfRats: split.. in a terminal
[12:34] <dns53> the program split can do this
[12:34] <EminX> glitsj16: if I install something from synaptic pm, does it save also the files on that cashe folder
[12:34] <roachmmflhyr> _jdd_, there is 4 different modules do i list them all individually in /etc/modules?
[12:34] <koshari> jokkaa no errors and a good framerate?
[12:34] <glitsj16> jlc: you could try to kill it via gnome-system-monitor if you have that installed
[12:34] <CanOfRats> lol didnt know there was a program
[12:34] <beelzebub> Check this thing out, http://tinyurl.com/6k5rox Those are cool, are they not?
[12:34] <CanOfRats> how do i join the split files?
[12:34] <fredreichbier> hello
[12:34] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: yes, individually.
[12:34] <Pici> !ot > beelzebub
[12:35] <Slart> CanOfRats: one guess would be "join"
[12:35] <fredreichbier> did ubuntu provide a bzr update recently?
[12:35] <glitsj16> EminX: yes that's the default setting, if you haven't changed that in synaptic they should all be there
[12:35] <jokkaa> koshari, no.. perfect
[12:35] <jlc> glitsjl6, I may have it, lemme see.
[12:35] <Chaotic_Descent> what do they call those shortcuts in windows that launch applications? "shortcuts"? because I'm trying to find info on editing them and I can't find it.
[12:35] <Slart> CanOfRats: but it seems that wasn't correct.. you can use cat or something similar to join the files afterwards.
[12:35] <roachmmflhyr> _jdd_, such ass XXXXX.ko and such or do I create aliases?
[12:36] <Chaotic_Descent> er... this is Wine related, not Windows, just in case you're wondering why I'm asking about Windows in #ubuntu
[12:36] <CanOfRats> thanks
[12:36]  * massmc is back (gone 00:00:44)
[12:36] <fredreichbier> Chaotic_Descent: 'hotkey' maybe?
[12:36] <EminX> glitsj16: ok i would ask you and some more questions about the way to install in other computers, if you have time
[12:36] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: /etc/modules is a text file, a list of module names to load one at a time. these generally don't end in .ko
[12:36] <Pici> massmc: Please disable those sort of scripts if you are going to be going away in this channel.
[12:36] <koshari> jokkaa so why wont it let you select normal or extra effects on the visual effects tab in appearance prefs?
[12:36]  * massmc is away: I'm busy
[12:36] <DIFH-iceroot> if i am using Kubuntu (kde 3.5.9) is the hole support until oct. 2009? or only the kde 3.5.9 support and the rest (ubuntu) has LTS?
[12:36] <glitsj16> jlc: "killall update-manager" from terminal would also be an option i guess
[12:36] <jlc> glitsgl16, I don't see it, what other option do I have other than re-booting?
[12:37] <Chaotic_Descent> fredreichbier: ... I don't think so. hotkeys generally mean you press a few keyboard keys. I'm talking about a file that launches an application.
[12:37] <jokkaa> koshari, no idea.. screen turns white, and then back to none
[12:37] <glitsj16> EminX: no problem, feel free to pm me
[12:37] <roachmmflhyr> _jdd_, btw thanks for your help
[12:37] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: if you can do "modprobe modulename" with no ko, you're good to stick the modules you need loaded into /etc/modules. I'm honestly a bit fuzzy on this, might have to go re-read some stuff
[12:37] <chriswr> plz help , whenever i try to install something in repo's i get this message      E: timidity: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[12:37] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: no problem.
[12:37] <fredreichbier> Chaotic_Descent: yes, it was only a idea ;)
[12:37] <EminX> glitsj16: so if I copy all the files on that folder, should I copy them in the same directory in other computers
[12:38] <Chaotic_Descent> fredreichbier: they're .lnk files.
[12:38] <Slart> chriswr: something went wrong installing timidity.. remove it and install it again..
[12:38] <koshari> jokkaa dunno mate, theres a good reason i dont use ATI radeon , you will need someone who has a bit of experiance with radeons to walk you through.
[12:38] <Chaotic_Descent> Why isn't there a normal desktop interface for Wine? I can only run applications, but the desktop closes when the app closes.
[12:39] <jabba> hello... cabn anybody tell me, if i read from a non-blocking socket, and get 5 chars, how do i know if they are still chars to read?
[12:39] <jlc> glitsj16, that did it, thanks.  I have never had any problems with update manager but have locked up twice now on this same file.  Is there a known problem?
[12:39] <EminX> glitsj16: and which is the best way to install those software, through synaptic or how?
[12:39] <alf> #ubuntu-es
[12:39] <jokkaa> koshari, any ideas what i could use insted?
[12:39] <Chaotic_Descent> I was hoping I could find some kind of thing in Wine that lets me edit the .lnk files in the start menus.
[12:39] <chriswr> slart: remove timidity  or the thing i just installed?
[12:39] <Slart> Chaotic_Descent: well.. wine is for running windows programs.. it's not an emulation of a windows system.. there are other software for that
[12:39] <Pici> Chaotic_Descent: Because Wine is not an emulator, its an api implementation so the programs can run in linux
[12:39] <glitsj16> EminX: correct, apt (the package manager) will find them there and not go out to the internet, on ubuntu machines this is, other linux distro's have similar but different package managers, just don't mix 'em and you'll be fine
[12:39] <Slart> chriswr: timidity
[12:39] <chriswr> j
[12:39] <chriswr> 'k
[12:39] <koshari> jokkaa btw your hardware should crap it in given i use ancient mx2 cards to successfully use compiz/emerald
[12:40] <Chaotic_Descent> ok, but doesn't Wine include most of the Windows OS apps? it's got stuff like notepad.
[12:40] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: see around step 10 here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-module.html
[12:40] <glitsj16> jlc: could be, but i don't know of anything recent, nor have other people reported problems that i know of
[12:40] <Pici> Chaotic_Descent: Those are still applications, not the entire windows 'experience'
[12:40] <koshari> jokkaa personally i would use nvidia or intel gpus however iam sure someone could coach you to get it to work
[12:40] <jlc> ty!
[12:41] <jokkaa> koshari, well ill click around and hope for the best xD
[12:41] <_jdd_> roachmmflhyr: basically stick it under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ and add a line in /etc/modules
[12:41] <chriswr> slart: i got the same message again when i tried removing and installing again
[12:41] <EminX> glitsj16: thanx again (Y)
[12:41] <glitsj16> jlc: np, it can always happen if your connection to your mirror drops for reasons unknown i guess
[12:42] <koshari> jokkaa look for a radeon compiz guide
[12:42] <koshari> jokkaa you may need to edit your xorg file
[12:43] <jokkaa> koshari, problably.. starting with updating the whole system and restat X and lets see from there
[12:43] <glitsj16> EminX: if you're going to copy to a lot of machines that aptoncd package would even work smoother, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/APTonCD
[12:43] <Chaotic_Descent> why does a sudo nautilus not show wine system files though?  Question: Why a children process can return 1 from getppid(). I just created it! Your are my son. (seriously, its weird)
[12:44] <koshari> jokkaa http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586038
[12:44] <Chaotic_Descent> oh wait... there they are. @_@;
[12:44] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: theyre in ~/.wine
[12:44] <Slart> chriswr: hmm.. "dpkg-reconfigure timidity"
[12:44] <hectorpal> (reading questions meanwhile)
[12:44] <EminX> glitsj16: ok i will read about it, I don't know how it works or what is it exactly
[12:45] <Chaotic_Descent> ... did I just flood the channel by trying to press the tab button repeatedly? :P that USED to auto-complete someone's name.
[12:45] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: No, I wondered the same thing the first time I did it :P
[12:45] <chriswr> slart: type that in terminal?
[12:45] <kabotage> :D
[12:45] <Chaotic_Descent> .... I still don't understand what I just did. It didn't used to do that.
[12:46] <glitsj16> EminX: basically it creates a movable repository, very handy for installing things on pc's without internet connection
[12:46] <kabotage> hi
[12:46] <Slart> chriswr: yes
[12:46] <Slart> chriswr: you might need a sudo in front of that.. I'm not sure
[12:46] <chriswr> slart: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: timidity is broken or not fully installed
[12:46] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: if you type in some letters then press tab, xchat lists all the nicks that start with those letters
[12:47] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: It would be nice if it cycled through them, but it doesnt seem to
[12:47] <Slart> chriswr: ok.. sounds like timidity is broken or at least not working for you.. do you need it?
[12:47] <Chaotic_Descent> light-: oh, I was worried it was pasting that into the channel.
[12:47] <Chaotic_Descent> ok... so... apparently Ubuntu can't edit .lnk files like text files. I'm not sure what the hell edits them.
[12:47] <chriswr> trying to install unmass
[12:48] <ariqs> under clock preferences I see that I have show temperature check marked, but I never see the temp
[12:48] <ariqs> why?
[12:48] <Chaotic_Descent> I don't know how I'm supposed to run Wine apps with command lines without manually typing them out each time.
[12:48] <db92> Chaotic_Descent, launchers :/
[12:48] <Pici> Chaotic_Descent: .exe files should be associated with Wine.
[12:48] <db92> Chaotic_Descent, or just type it every time :DDD
[12:48] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: Create a launcher (right click dsktop). Make it run the command wine "c:\Path\To\Exe"
[12:48] <EminX> glitsj16: yep, exactly what I need, couse I will install Ubuntu in a lot of Schools here in Kosova (if you know where is it), and I want to make a good ubuntu without missing updates, software or plug-ins etc, thank you man
[12:48] <hectorpal> Question: Why a children process can return 1 from getppid(). I just created it!  UCK (Ubuntu Customazation Kit) could also be of use to you in that context --> http://uck.sourceforge.net/
[12:50] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: In the "command" field type wine "c:\Path\To\Exe"
[12:50] <ariqs> under clock preferences I see that I have show temperature check marked, but I never see the temp, why?
[12:51] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: or if you installed the program somewhere outside your ~/.wine, type wine /path/to/exe
[12:51] <Chaotic_Descent> god, I hate typing out file addresses manually.
[12:51] <Slart> chriswr: unmass needs timidity?
[12:51] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: You can browse to it in Nautilus then copy the address from the address bar
[12:51] <mihai> buna ziua
[12:52] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: saves a bit of time typing
[12:52] <chriswr> slart: i guess so
[12:52] <Chaotic_Descent> Light-: but the address will appear differently than the command line will take, won't it?
[12:52] <cckk> Slart: light: hows it going im home now
[12:52] <Slart> chriswr: well.. you'll have to hope they fix timidity
[12:52] <Chaotic_Descent> oh... but it's Wine, not Ubuntu's ... uh... what's Ubuntu's file browser called. something.
[12:52] <chriswr> slart: ok , do you know a program to play .so files?
[12:52] <Slart> chriswr: or unmass.. whichever is causing this problem
[12:53] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: depends on how you call wine, you can either use "wine "c:\path\to\exe"" or "wine /linux/path/to/exe"
[12:53] <Slart> chriswr: nope..don't know of anything that plays those.. never even heard of them
[12:53] <ariqs> IS no one going to tell me how ubuntu is supposed to tell me the temperature and why it's not working?
[12:53] <Slart> cckk: hello again
[12:53] <glitsj16> ariqs: not familiar with that panel applet, but there might be relevant errors mentioned in your ~/.xsession-errors log
[12:53] <Chaotic_Descent> Light-: I'm more worried about what format it wants when I have a space in a directory.
[12:53] <ariqs> thanks
[12:53] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: Thats what quotes are for, if a directory has a space in it the do/"something like"/this
[12:53] <mihai> lumeeeeeeeeeee
[12:54] <cckk> soso i plugged the ati hd 650 into the usb port after installing tvtime do i need to run something to get linux to recognize that i plugged it in?
[12:54] <Raheem> ariqs, can u select a location .. it should show
[12:54] <ariqs> raheem: I selected my location a long time ago
[12:54] <chriswr> slart: idk if its even for linux , im just trying to play some old console games , but i dont know what emulator to get theirs so many
[12:54] <ariqs> or rather, i selected the closest to my locaiton as i could, which was fara way
[12:54] <Light-> chriswr: get an emulator that emulates the console of the games you want to play
[12:55] <ariqs> ubuntu figured out that I'm not really there so it's not reporting the temp! :P
[12:55] <Raheem> ariqs, lol
[12:55] <Light-> chriswr: eg ZSNES for super nitendo
[12:55] <chriswr> light-: ok , thnx , thats the one i wanted most right there
[12:56] <chriswr> light-: how do i get the games for it?
[12:57] <Light-> chriswr: google "snes roms" or something, its totally illegal and will turn up a lot of porn, but there should be some on there somewhere :P
[12:57] <IntrepidOne> !coc | Light- chriswr
[12:57]  * Slart gets out his "!piracy" flag and starts stretching..
[12:58] <Light-> hey I didnt link direct to any sites
[12:58] <chriswr> lol
[12:58] <IntrepidOne> Light-, we do not support illegal activity in any way. not even by pointing to google
[12:58] <Light-> ok, sorry
[12:58] <IntrepidOne> np
[12:59] <Soopa> hi everyone
[12:59] <alf> #ubuntu-es
[13:00] <IntrepidOne> Light-, if a burglar wants to rob your house you going to tell him under which mat the spare key is? :)
[13:00] <Light-> IntrepidOne: Depends on if he has a gun to my head
[13:00] <glitsj16> heh
[13:00] <Soopa> I have Apache installed on this PC and I want to be able to mess around with web pages in my ~ path
[13:00] <IntrepidOne> heh
[13:00] <Soopa> like http://localhost/~soopa
[13:00] <Soopa> can someone point me to a tutorial on how to set that up in apache?
[13:01] <Chaotic_Descent> Light-: what about a working directory? I looked that up online and it said to use the Ubuntu file address format and use a command like this:    gnome-terminal --working-directory /home/yourlogin/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EA\ GAMES/Battlefield\ 1942/ -x wine BF1942.EXE +game DC_Final
[13:01] <Circus-Killer> Soopa,  best thing is to create a symlink
[13:01] <Circus-Killer> from a folder in your home directory to /var/www
[13:01] <Soopa> Circus-Killer: in /var/www?
[13:01] <Circus-Killer> delete www in /var
[13:02] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: yes you can do that too, the \ is an escape character that you can use instead of quoting folder names
[13:02] <Soopa> there's a more elegant solution that that, isn't there?
[13:02] <Circus-Killer> then create a www symlink which points to a dir in your home
[13:02] <Chaotic_Descent> Light-: except mine isn't working. It doesn't do anything.
[13:02] <Soopa> well, I'd like to keep the root pages
[13:02] <Slart> Circus-Killer: I would say the other way around.. create a symlink in /var/www pointing to a folder in your home
[13:03] <Jurgeni> Soopa: in /etc/apache2/mods-available there are userdir.load and userdir.conf
[13:03] <seagullman> quick question (i think).. i believe i need to run modules-update or update-modules, but bash told me it is "deprecated and should not be used", what should i do?
[13:03] <sawyer_> how could I make a directory listing that shows all the files in subdirectories, but so that each file has its respective path shown before the filename?
[13:03] <Soopa> so http://localhost would be different than http://localhost/~soopa
[13:03] <Circus-Killer> that what i just said, the www in /var must be the link, which points to an actually dir in /home/user
[13:03] <Jurgeni> Soopa: create symlinks to them in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
[13:03] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: Well, for starters did you change yourlogin to your actual login? also did you make sure that BF1942.exe exists in that directory? remember its case sensitive
[13:03] <Chaotic_Descent> can I use wine "D2Loader-1.12.exe -w" or do I use that without quotes?
[13:03] <Soopa> Jurgeni: aha, that's what I was looking for... thanks
[13:03] <Slart> Soopa: there are other ways to create sites in apache.. check the man page.. you can have different document roots for different sites.. as well as config files etc
[13:03] <Chaotic_Descent> Light-: yeah. I changed the path and filenames to my own...
[13:03] <Jurgeni> Soopa: ~/public_html will be in localhost/~username
[13:03] <glitsj16> Soopa: a2enmod userdir, details --> http://clau.sparetimegroup.net/index.php/ubuntu/enabling-apache-user-home-public_html-directory-in-ubuntu-710/ (works for hardy just as well)
[13:04] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: lol ok just checking. im not sure actually, try with and without quotes
[13:04] <Soopa> awesome
[13:04] <Soopa> thanks guys!
[13:04] <Slart> Soopa: no need to delete the default site
[13:04] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: When I need to run a wine app, I just browse to it through Nautilus and double click the exe, it opens automatically in wine
[13:04] <chao1> does anyone know of a way to recover data from a corrupted ext3 filesystem?
[13:04] <chao1> :'(
[13:04] <icesword> testdisk
[13:04] <icesword> try it
[13:05] <Chaotic_Descent> Light-: ug... that was ugly. then again, maybe it's supposed to do that. maybe that was the "-w" windowed mode. I couldn't resize it.
[13:05] <icesword> chao1, how do you mean "corrupted
[13:05] <Chaotic_Descent> Light-: well I WOULD, but I need to use a command-line option for it, which of course I can't DO because I can't edit .lnk files!
[13:05] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: oh, right
[13:06] <glitsj16> chao: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery ? it has a few things you can try
[13:06] <chao1> well I dont see it when I open places
[13:06] <chao1> in ubuntu
[13:06] <auror> i cant open it
[13:06] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: well, if you cant get it to work by typing in the full path, just type "cd /path/to/exe" then "wine exe -options"
[13:06] <seagullman> quick question (i think).. i believe i need to run modules-update or update-modules, but bash told me it is "deprecated and should not be used", what should i do?
[13:06] <glitsj16> chao1: were you able to see it before ?
[13:06] <chao1> It was my main partition
[13:07] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: You could then put those commands into a shell script so you can run the game by typing ./gamename
[13:07] <icesword> chao1, hmm, recommend you to reboot,
[13:07] <chao1> I had a partition free
[13:07] <fosco_> seagullman, mostly sure you do not need that, but try sudo depmod -a
[13:07] <chao1> so i installed ubuntu on it. which is where I am
[13:07] <icesword> chao1, well, what did you do before you found something is wrong
[13:07] <chao1> now
[13:07] <glitsj16> chao1: okay, check out that data recovery page i'd suggest and look into ddrescue
[13:07] <icesword> chao1, i am confused
[13:08] <Chaotic_Descent> oh... oh just lovely. I didn't quit that messed up Wine game that opened... and now it's running in the background and I have no way to get to it.
[13:08] <chao1> would you like to see it for your self? I have remote desktop available
[13:08] <chao1> just gotta tell me how to let you see it
[13:08] <Chaotic_Descent> apparently it's not one of the apps I can alt-tab to.
[13:09] <icesword> glitsj16, what you say about chao1 's problems
[13:09] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: type "ps -U yourusername", find the PID of the process, then "kill -9 PID"
[13:09] <seagullman> fosco_, thanks.. the thing is i installed cdemu from debs and afterwards the cdemu command didn't work. i've looked at installation instructions for source and i see that they do a modprobe after.. should i be doing that?
[13:09] <fosco_> seagullman, not sure, never used that
[13:10] <seagullman> fosco_, ok, thanks anyway mate
[13:10] <Light-> Chaotic_Descent: Or an easier way would be to open System Monitor (system>admininstration) and right click teh process>kill
[13:10] <glitsj16> icesword: hard to judge based on little or no detailed info, but ddrescue is a powerful tool if it's really corrupted, perhaps a simple fsck on the partiton might reveal that it's not all that messed up
[13:10] <chao1> icesword: how would I give you remote desktop link?
[13:10] <Chaotic_Descent> I think the terminal that launched it killed it when I closed it... I'm just... wading through the muck.
[13:10] <walle> hi, i have tried to upgrade a gutsy server to hardy. but when generating initrd.img it fails with the following message "Fatal: device-mapper: only linear boot device supported". I have an md device configured as raid5 but it isn't the boot device. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
[13:11] <icesword> chao1, don't do that
[13:11] <seagullman> fosco_, thanks heaps actually, depmod solved my problem
[13:11] <chao1> ??
[13:11] <icesword> glitsj16, i agree, but what to do
[13:11] <fosco_> seagullman, nice to hear that ;)
[13:11] <_empemp_> i have lost my direct rendering with 82855 intel card in ubuntu
[13:11] <walle> it's lilo failing and i'm using lvm as root.
[13:11] <_empemp_> anyone familiar with the problem?
[13:11] <glitsj16> chao1: do you have a live cd at hand ?
[13:12] <chao1> yes> puppylinux, ubuntu 8.10 lts, and system rescue cd
[13:12] <mysterycool> o_O
[13:12] <chao1> (system rescue cd is a live linux cd)
[13:12] <mysterycool> ubuntu 8.10 is out?! o_O
[13:13] <Pici> mysterycool: no.
[13:13] <glitsj16> icesword: chao1 could try to run the fsck check on the drive from live cd, that at least is not so time-consuming than ddrescue doing a full device copy
[13:13] <mysterycool> oh k
[13:13] <chao1> sorry I meant 8.04
[13:13] <chao1> lol
[13:13] <mysterycool> lol
[13:13] <Chaotic_Descent> GRRRRRR!  My dual headed card shows samething on both screens but only one of them shows movies.. any help?
[13:14] <chao1> sounds like a winner. would you like for me to post the output here for you?
[13:15] <_jdd_> Chaotic_Descent: No.
[13:15] <Chaotic_Descent> ehhh. they say the virtual desktop gets in the way of normal game input like hitting shifts and alts and mousebuttons at the same time.
[13:15] <glitsj16> chao1: if you could paste it on the net somewhere and give us the link people can take a look yes
[13:16] <chao1> just a quick question
[13:16] <glitsj16> chao1: always a good idea to let several people take a peak, far from an expert in data recovery personally
[13:17] <glitsj16> chao1: yes, ask away
[13:17] <chao1> how do I find out which partitions are on my disk? I know I have everything in an extended partition (hda2) and I have one swap. but not sure what everything is
[13:17] <anewbie>  fsdisk -l
[13:17] <Light-> chao1: sudo fdisk -l
[13:17] <anewbie>  :-)
[13:18] <chao1> thanks for the light Light. :D
[13:18] <Light-> lol np
[13:18] <Light-> anewbie: sudo: fsdisk: command not found
[13:18] <Light-> ;)
[13:19] <db92> are there codecs on ubuntu for real files? (.rm)
[13:19] <glitsj16> chao1: do you know what filesystem(s) the disk in question has ? fsck can do some repair attempts, but you'll need to know the correct switches, look at the "man fsck", i'm doing the same as we type
[13:19] <chao1> it was ext3
[13:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> help, i installed frostwire but i can't run it, when i type it inthe terminal it says command not found however it's listed in theinternet menu
[13:19] <anewbie> hmmm
[13:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> what do i do? i already tried reinstalling from the download and nothinghappend
[13:20] <anewbie> are you sure that you type it corect
[13:20] <anewbie> sudo fsdisk -l
[13:20] <_jdd_> CostaRicanQuaker: try typing fro and hitting tab in the terminal
[13:20] <anewbie> or if you are root withour sudo
[13:20] <glitsj16> chao1: ok thx, i'll try to put together a fsck command you can run from live cd, just don't try to mount the partition in question, that could make things worse
[13:20] <icesword> anewbie, no, it is sudo fdisk -l
[13:20] <fvwmnet> anewbie: fdisk?
[13:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> so what is the command?
[13:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> of all of those?
[13:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> i'll remove it first and try reinstalling it
[13:21] <mechdave> glitsj16, can't you just boot the live disk and then run fsck /dev/whatever from a terminal?
[13:21] <Light-> CostaRicanQuaker: that wont make a difference
[13:21] <anewbie> ouuu
[13:21] <anewbie> sorry about it
[13:21] <psypher246> hey all, does naybody have an idea why i would  not be able to add or remove users? i can creat the users using the user and group tool but if i go back in the user is gone, same thing with deleting. i can delete but if i go back in they are still there????
[13:21] <_jdd_> CostaRicanQuaker: I don't know, how did you install it? Reinstalling it generally won't fix problems with installations.
[13:22] <mechdave> psypher246, are you doing it as superuser?
[13:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> well i downloaded the ubuntu debian version from the website
[13:22] <Light-> CostaRicanQuaker: Any reason why you cant start it from the "Internet" menu? (also you can look at the shortcut in the internet menu to find the command you use to run it)
[13:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> and installed it
[13:22] <glitsj16> mechdave: yes indeed, i'm not familiar with ext3, please chime in to get chao1 some sound advice
[13:22] <glitsj16> well, not famailiar enough to do serious repair work if it's really broken
[13:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> I got irom here  http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads
[13:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> clicked on the debian ubuntu version and then installed it
[13:23] <mechdave> glitsj16 chao1, I have always just booted the live ubuntu and ran fsck /dev/whatever from a terminal
[13:23] <chao1> oh on a side note. . . when I go to tty (since the last update came through three days ago) I have a ton of drdy err messages
[13:23] <DJCMay> hi everybody
[13:23] <cckk> why would mozillay window grey out in its entirety?
[13:23] <mechdave> chao1, what does /var/log/messages say?
[13:24] <fvwmnet> DJCMay: hi
[13:24] <mechdave> cckk, because it is waiting for the system to catch up
[13:24] <mechdave> cckk, maybe?
[13:24] <DJCMay> can anybody help me? after installing ubuntu onto an usb-device, i just get the busy box instead of ubuntu :(
[13:25] <DJCMay> i've used the alternate cd
[13:25] <_jdd_> CostaRicanQuaker: the command to run it is frostwire You say that typing frostwire in the terminal doesn't work?
[13:25] <cckk> mechdave: im not really using anything of my system i have a monster
[13:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire

[13:27] <bonespur> hi..how do i fix a slow boot ?
[13:27] <chao1> is that a web site?
[13:27] <mechdave> cckk, monster?
[13:27] <CostaRicanQuaker> fosco: what does that mean?
[13:27] <icesword> yep
[13:27] <CostaRicanQuaker> do i type that into the terminal?
[13:27] <fosco_> CostaRicanQuaker, if this does not work test yopur java installation
[13:28] <glitsj16> chao1: yes, a paste service, plenty of those around, just provide us with the link here after you pasted that log
[13:28] <cckk> is there a command that will show my system specs?
[13:28] <mechdave> chao1, ok do this, rename /var/log/messages /var/log/messages.old
[13:28] <cckk> mechdave: is there a command that will show my system specs?
[13:28] <mechdave> chao1, then touch /var/log/messages

[13:39] <prefe> haloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[13:39] <phaverkamp> skype is commercail
[13:39] <glitsj16> chao1: there's a few unrecovered read errors in there, boot from live cd like mechdave suggested and run "fsck /dev/sda2 (if that is the correct partition, thought you mentioned that during the conversation here) ..
[13:39] <fantomas> histo: is it ok to install package from skype.com for 7.04 on 8.04?
[13:39] <histo> fantomas: it is fine to install a stand a lone deb like that.
[13:39] <phaverkamp> wow i cant spell this morning but you get the idea
[13:40] <chao1> well hda2 is my extended partition
[13:40] <histo> fantomas: yeah technically you should ask the skype people since its commmercial
[13:40] <chao1> blocks are the length of the partition right?

[13:51] <glitsj16> chao1: going over the man page for fsck, i do think you should run it from a live cd, now fsck relies on your /etc/fstab to run the checks and that doesn't seem to work
[13:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> now what? will it work now
[13:51] <fosco_> yes
[13:51] <fosco_> Soopa, i use evolution

[14:06] <glitsj16> Aranel: if you're uncertain, check in firefox about:plugins (setting the about:config key "plugins.expose_full_path" to true will make it easier to track down the path) where other plugins reside on your system ..

[14:08] <Hotcakez> y
[14:08] <bullgard4> fosco_: What does the . refer to? I think that . is my current directory. How can the source package know my current directory?
[14:08] <chao1> all that it did is print this: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fsck ,fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
[14:09] <fosco_> . is current dir
[14:09] <fosco_> you have to enter into sources dir and then execute ./configure
[14:09] <mechdave> chao1, have you got the partition mounted?
[14:09] <Asdra> hi / slt
[14:09] <bullgard4> fosco_: So please tell me how can the source package know my current directory?

[14:16] <Lusule1> how do i close down a process that's crashed, from the terminal?
[14:16] <rrittenhouse> nobody here has had vmware server issues after the latest kernel upgrade?

[14:16] <chao1> ok
[14:16] <mechdave> chao1, sorry brain fade :)
[14:17] <chao1> so what should i do?
[14:17] <Pici> chao1: You cannot fsck a mounted partition
[14:17] <zero5liters> server irc.velocityirc.net
[14:17] <mechdave> chao1, so make sure the partition is not mounted
[14:18] <mechdave> chao1, ie. sudo umount /dev/whatever
[14:18] <chao1> ok done
[14:19] <mechdave> now sudo fsck /dev/whatever
[14:19] <Aranel> glitsj16: i tried copy it to "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" but it still says Flash 9.0

[14:21] <maek> we are on the same network : )
[14:21] <glitsj16> Aranel: in any case, make sure flash 9 is uninstalled, otherwise it will conflict more than likely ..
[14:21] <Vartz> could any one help me out here? :)
[14:21] <chao1> fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda6
[14:21] <chao1> Could this be a zero-length partition?

[14:21] <chao1> that is what it output to the screen
[14:21] <Aranel> glitsj16: ok i did "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree"

[14:23] <mechdave> Vartz, just ask dude
[14:24] <chao1> i installed vmware. I started running a vm and it froze (greys out the app window and then nothing moves) then I tried CTRL ALT Backspace and that didnt work so,
[14:24] <glitsj16> Aranel: okay, that one is out of the way .. do you actually see the full path in about:plugins ?
[14:24] <Vartz> i need help installing Maya 2008, i tried the guides and how to but i'm a complete noob in linux so i keep getting lost...

[14:25] <Selenos> where can i find the localhost zone file for bind9
[14:25] <Aranel> glitsj16: oh, u said /usr/xulrunner.. it is /usr/lib/xulrunner , i found it :)
[14:25] <mechdave> chao1, Uh oh!!
[14:25] <Aranel> glitsj16: im trying it :)
[14:25] <Lusule1> looking for help with kill process problems before i do something really stupid...
[14:26] <unavailable> anyone have the problem with Fx3 freezing on tabclose?
[14:26] <Aranel> glitsj16: ok, it works :)) thanks for your help
[14:26] <chao1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/28017/
[14:26] <glitsj16> Aranel: nice, hope flash 10 yields you better results :)
[14:26] <chao1> :-(
[14:26] <bobertdos> Alright, Lusule1, let's see what we can do.
[14:26] <GleepGlop>  Minor annoyance, but new drive mount icons just stack on top of existing icons on Gnome desktop, how can I stop this?
[14:27] <takamarou> Hi, I'm trying to share a printer through samba to a windows XP computer.  I'm getting an error in the New Printer Dialog that is saying "This print share is not available"  any help please?
[14:27] <Aranel> glitsj16: yes, in fact i hate nonfree softwares, they're buggy :)
[14:27] <unavailable> anyone have the problem with Fx3 freezing on tabclose?
[14:27] <mechdave> chao1, what's with the 2 swaps?
[14:27] <mechdave> chao1, brb
[14:27] <silver> hello room
[14:27] <glitsj16> Aranel: very true in the case of flash, but gnash doesn't seem to cut iot just yet to get a fully open source plugin ;)
[14:27] <Lusule1> hi nixnoob :)
[14:28] <unavailable> anyone have the problem with Fx3 freezing on tabclose?
[14:28] <chao1> I guess it came with the new install of ubuntu. I did manual partitioning but i didnt tell it to make a swap.
[14:28] <GleepGlop> unavailable: no
[14:28] <unavailable> it turns black then tells me to forcequit
[14:28] <GleepGlop> unavailable: for all new tabs?
[14:29] <Vartz> could any one PM me if they have time to help me install something... please...
[14:29] <unavailable> think it may be related to clear private data
[14:29] <godzirra> Can anyone please help me get my Realtek 8199 working in ubuntu?  (I've been told its an 8187 variant, but I don't know for sure and don't know how to check, and the instructions at http://paste.ubuntu.com/27904/ didnt work for me)
[14:29] <Lusule1> i'm really looking for help killing this program so i can use my xwindows again :(
[14:29] <unavailable> no only ones where flash was used in (i think)
[14:29] <The_ManU_212> is that bad?
[14:29] <The_ManU_212>   7 Seek_Error_Rate         0x000f   085   060   030    Pre-fail  Always       -       382194986
[14:29] <takamarou> is anyone here good with samba that can help me?
[14:29] <bullgard4> What graphics program generates a pattern on my LCD screen such that I can conveniently count the number of pixels of my LCD?
[14:30] <glitsj16> Lusule1: if you know the programs name you can try "killall <program name>" from terminal
[14:30] <snmpee_> takamarou there is a #samba
[14:30] <chao1> gordo how did you do that
[14:30] <Lusule1> glitsj16 - isn't that a little risky?
[14:30] <gordo> did what?
[14:30] <unavailable> gleepglop no only ones where flash was used in (i think)
[14:30] <takamarou> ok, thx
[14:30] <GleepGlop> or xkill
[14:30] <bobertdos> takamarou: First of all, is the printer turned on and the driver properly selected? I know that sounds stupid, but I always cover basics first.
[14:30] <glitsj16> Lusule1: not reaaly, it will only kill the running process, not the actual program
[14:30] <Pici> bullgard4: count the pixels? Wouldn't it be easier to find the specs of your screen online somewhere?
[14:31] <Lusule1> glitsj16 okay i'll try that, thanks :)
[14:31] <GleepGlop> unavailable: ah, yeah I installed flash 10 and that stopped being an issue
[14:31] <chao1> change what you are known as
[14:31] <fantomas> Damn, sound configuration is hell
[14:31] <Pici> chao1: /nick newnick
[14:31] <takamarou> bobertdos, yes it is.  I can print from this computer fine, but I need to share it.
[14:31] <digitalvaldosta> thats cool
[14:31] <CroX> My system just got into "freeze mode" again. Now all that helps, from what I've tried, is to reboot. Could anyone please help me figure the cause of this out while I'm suffering it?
[14:32] <fantomas> I try following steps from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but I see no card in lspci output
[14:32] <bullgard4> Pici: The spec is wrong.
[14:32] <bobertdos> takamarou: I know, but when you set it up as a share, did you choose the correct driver for it?
[14:32] <fantomas> But I do see card in aplay -l output: card 0: default [PnP Audio Device        ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
[14:32] <Selenos> fantomas: did the sound worked before?
[14:33] <fantomas> Selenos: sound works now :) But very buggy
[14:33] <glitsj16> chao1_digitalval: your partiton table seems to be pretty messed-up .. any views on what you want to do next ?
[14:33] <genius> helo, i want to run firefox as another user. but i recieve an error Error: cannot open display: :0.0 -- what does it mean?
[14:33] <Pici> bullgard4: Well, if your screen isn't outputting at the right resolution, putting the exact number of pixels that fit in that resolution on the screen isnt going to help you
[14:33] <takamarou> bobertdos, I haven't gotten to the point where I choose the drivers.  I'm still in the screen where I choose the printer, add a username and password, and press verify.  When I press Verify it says "This print share is not available"
[14:33] <Selenos> fantomas: are you on a laptop?
[14:34] <Selenos> fantomas: a DELL laptop :)
[14:34] <godzirra> When is 8.10 going to have a build, and iwll it have support for a realtek 8199?
[14:34] <chao1_digitalval> Pici: !thanks
[14:34] <soundf_> im playing WoW just now on my macbook :\
[14:34] <Pici> godzirra: Alphas for 8.10 are already available, more info in #ubuntu+1
[14:34] <Paolo88> hello!
[14:34] <soundf_> its on y desk
[14:34] <Jack_Sparrow> godzirra /join #ubuntu+1   and why not ask realtek when they are going to support linux
[14:34] <fantomas> Selenos: under buggy I mean - adjusting using mixer works only in alsamixer, but not in Gnome mixer which does something terrible - randomly and independently slides right and left channels). And I have no sound from microphone
[14:34] <chao1_digitalval> well I would like to just pull what I can from it and then scrap the rest. i guess
[14:34] <soundf_> im getting confused with the mouse :|
[14:34] <godzirra> Thanks.
[14:35] <fantomas> Selenos: no, its obvious M2N-E SLI board
[14:35] <Paolo88> i have some problem with ie4linux...i can ask here or not?
[14:35] <godzirra> Jack_Sparrow: realtek has linux drivers for the older cards... just not this one.
[14:35] <chao1_digitalval> changing my nick so that it is easier to type
[14:35] <Pici> Paolo88: #winehq would probably be more appropriate
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Paolo88 ie4l isnt supported here or in winehq
[14:35] <Pici> or not
[14:35] <Paolo88> ok tanks
[14:35] <saiful9858> here...
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> godzirra So I would complain to them
[14:36] <Selenos> fantomas: sounds like a poltergeist. Thought you had an issue i encountered before.
[14:36] <adac> what is the path in ubuntu to paste an .html file to be coalled over apache over browser?
[14:36] <godzirra> wols keeps telling me not to use the drivers from realtek.
[14:36] <godzirra> I don't know why, he wouldn't tell me.
[14:36] <adac> *called
[14:36] <jos1> glitsj16: any ideas?
[14:36] <bobertdos> takamarou: What interface are you in? Are you in Printing under System->Administration?
[14:36] <fantomas> Selenos: I think card configuration is wrong. But I have no idea where it is specified
[14:36] <leleobhz> someone know if exists a ppa with intrepid kernel backported to hardy?
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> godzirra wols is generally relaible and knowledgeable
[14:36] <glitsj16> jos1: yes i can understand the urge to do that, perhaps more knowledgeable people joined in after stating your issues, can't hurt to try and summarize it again neither, in any case, all the best
[14:36] <Selenos> adac: you need a webserver application like apache installed and the path would be /var/www
[14:36] <Pici> adac: The default hosted path for apache is /var/www
[14:36] <bullgard4> Pici: I do not know what you mean with right and wrong. I have done measurements. My measurements show that the data output of xdpyinfo is wrong. Now I am going to imporve the rendering of my Ubuntu computer.
[14:36] <jos1> thanks
[14:37] <rafaelscj> !iso
[14:37] <glitsj16> jos1: that was a no not reaaly sorry :)
[14:37] <takamarou> bobertdos, correct.  I pressed the New Printer button, and went to Windows Printer via Samba
[14:37] <adac> Selenos, Pici: ok so i can put everythiong in there..nice. On fedora core 6 the path was /var/www/html/
[14:37] <Selenos> !dns
[14:37] <jos1> anyone know how to recover /home from a botched up ext3 filesystem
[14:37] <jos1> i think Iv
[14:37] <Selenos> !bind
[14:38] <Selenos> !bind9
[14:38] <Selenos> dammit.

[14:38] <Selenos> !zones
[14:38] <FloodBot1> Selenos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:38] <Pici> !msg the bot | Selenos
[14:38] <jos1> i think I've seen it done in my class once (two years ago) with dd
[14:38] <jos1> but don't remember the command
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Selenos If you are not sure a trigger exists, please pm the bot
[14:38] <fantomas> How to know which onboard sound card do I have if it is not listed in lspci output?
[14:38] <einnar> Hi, I have a new xubuntu64 install, and it freezes at the login screen. I've let it sit for an hour, and it didn't change, so I don't believe it's processing anything.  Any thoughts?
[14:38] <genius> How to start gnome application as another user? I get Error: cannot open display: :0.0
[14:39] <Pici> bullgard4: I meant that if Ubuntu is configured to output at 800x600, and your LCD was designed for 1024x768, the greatest detail that a pattern could display would be 800 by 600 pixels.
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> einnar we generally suggest 32 bit for newer users.  and there are a few tricks you can try..
[14:39] <levander> genius: You've tried 'gksudo -u'?
[14:39] <einnar> Jack, I've used 32 bit for a few years.
[14:39] <levander> einnar: Check /var/log/syslog for an error message.
[14:39] <einnar> checking.
[14:39] <godzirra> Can anyone please help me get my Realtek 8199 working in ubuntu?  (I've been told its an 8187 variant, but I don't know for sure and don't know how to check, and the instructions at http://paste.ubuntu.com/27904/ didnt work for me)
[14:40] <genius> levander: yes, with different options. try to start firefox
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> einnar To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[14:40] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hi Guys: IF anyone here still have problems with RTL8187B on Ubuntu 8.04, check my post on this forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765671&page=10    ||| Post #97
[14:40] <bobertdos> takamarou: Actually, that option is for going in the other direction.
[14:40] <einnar> Jack, it's not the live CD, that worked fine. I have it installed.
[14:40] <linduxed> if ive got a module that i normally load with modprobe but want to have it autoloaded on boot, what do i do?
[14:40] <fwaokda> I'm wanting to make a recovery stick with my thumb drive I have.  Does anyone have any recommendations of what to put on it or a tutorial on the idea or anything???
[14:40] <levander> genius: Are you logged in remotely?  Why do you want to start it as a different user?  (I'm not 2nd guessing you.  I need to know that to answer.  There are different ways to do this.)
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[14:40] <bobertdos> takamarou: That's for sharing a printer on a Windows system to Ubuntu.
[14:40] <LaNCeloT_RW> godzirra, mate, just check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765671&page=10
[14:40] <takamarou> bobertdos, oh.  That would explain my problem.  how do I do what I'm trying to do then?
[14:41] <LaNCeloT_RW> godzirra, after 20 hours I could connect via RTL8187B
[14:41] <Paolo88> anyone can tell me a chat where i can find support for ie4linux?
[14:41] <jos1> does anyone know how to pull /home from a messed up ext3 system that fsck can't fix?
[14:41] <shelia_> i have lost some music files don't know where to look for them can any1 help?
[14:41] <godzirra> LaNCeloT_RW: But is the 8199 an 8187 derivative?
[14:41] <godzirra> so that will work?
[14:41] <genius> levander: no i want to use two independent firefox sessions on one local computer. Looks like firefox starts ok as root user, but not as newly created user(only console apps)
[14:41] <bullgard4> Pici: No, I am referring to a much greater degree of precision. xdyinfo output is approximately correct to about 5%. But my letters are blurry, and I am going to correct that.
[14:41] <levander> jos1: Are you sure it's not a hard disk failure?
[14:42] <LaNCeloT_RW> godzirra, type on the terminal lsusb and paste on http://paste.ubuntu.com the result and show me
[14:42] <bobertdos> takamarou: In order to share a printer in the other direction, you need to enable printer sharing in the Server Setting section. Then you need to go to your Windows client and install appropriate drivers.
[14:42] <Lunar_Lamp> !firefox
[14:42] <genius> levander: maybe because i never started gnome within another user?
[14:42] <jos1> yes because I have a working partition on it.
[14:42] <godzirra> k... sec.
[14:42] <LaNCeloT_RW> k
[14:42] <godzirra> let me boot my wifes laptop back into ubuntu
[14:42] <Lunar_Lamp> When will Firefox 3.0.1 hit the repositories?
[14:42] <LaNCeloT_RW> godzirra, ok mate
[14:42] <levander> genius: One thing you could possibly try is to have the 2nd session as a separate web browser?  Or, that doesn't fit your needs?  Occasionally I want the same thing, and that's what I do.
[14:42] <godzirra> She got a new one, and its been a pain in my rear.
[14:42] <chato> jeje
[14:42] <takamarou> bobertdos, server settings in the system>Adminstration>Printing thing?
[14:43] <Kartagis> hoşçakalın / bye
[14:43] <shelia_> i have lost some of my music folders can any 1 tell me how i can find them?
[14:43] <bobertdos> takamarou: Actually, Samba should take care of drivers, but it might be better to be safe than sorry.
[14:43] <bobertdos> Yes to that
[14:43] <LaNCeloT_RW> godzirra, My laptop is almost new as well.. it was really a pain in the ass to get this card working
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> godzirra Let us know if that works for your chipset as well...
[14:43] <godzirra> will do Jack_Sparrow
[14:43] <jos1> levander: I have a second (working) partition on that disk.
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> shelia_ How were they lost?
[14:44] <levander> genius: 'firefox --help' shows there are interesting options that are '-P' and '-ProfileManager'.  Maybe you could have two instances of firefox because each is using a separate profile?
[14:44] <glitsj16> genius: you could make two firefox profiles and run those side by side as the same regular user as well .. might not be what you're after offcourse
[14:44] <genius> levander: sure it is possible. but it is impossible to share inforamtion between sessions...
[14:44] <LaNCeloT_RW> Jack_Sparrow, I just wrote a tutorial to some people like me that tried every single way to get it working and in the end was just the Win98 Driver with a line added
[14:44] <shelia_> don't know stepson restarted computer and it took away 6 music follders
[14:44] <LaNCeloT_RW> Jack_Sparrow, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765671&page=10
[14:44] <Pici> bullgard4: xdyinfo displays what your video card is currently outputting, not what the optimal resolution of your monitor is
[14:44] <einnar> it looks like it is failing to initialize my wireless properly, and is hanging the system.
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> LaNCeloT_RW I saved the link.. I just want to know if it will do his chipset.  My broadcom all work fine here
[14:45] <levander> genius: I thought you wanted to not share information?
[14:45] <genius> glitsj16: maybe profile could help. i've used it once.
[14:45] <shelia_> he was tryin to listen to some songs couldn't get the sound he says he restarted computer and those files were gone
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> LaNCeloT_RW Is there a link to the 98 driver in that post?
[14:45] <levander> jos1: It's possible the hard drive is starting to go bad.  I'd run a diagnostic from your manufacturer before I learned recovery procedures for ext3 if I were you...
[14:45] <LaNCeloT_RW> Jack_Sparrow, yes. I uploaded this to my website host
[14:45] <aaron_> hi, i'm having some trouble with my wireless connection. can anyone help me?
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> LaNCeloT_RW Thanks
[14:46] <levander> jos1: Although, if the disk is going bad, maybe the recovery stuff in ext3 would still help?
[14:46] <LaNCeloT_RW> Jack_Sparrow, to be sure that someone CAN download it... because it was hard to find this driver (believe in me LOL)
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > shelia_
[14:46] <takamarou> bobertdos, so all I do is check the shared thing in the system>administration>Printing thing?  It says it is not published, and to go to the server settings.  where is that?
[14:46] <jos1> (i have done that as well) well if that is the case I have a maxtor and it returned error code 7
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> LaNCeloT_RW I have a dvd with 25000 windows dirvers, I probably have it too
[14:46] <linduxed> bump
[14:46] <shelia_> how do i see your private message i am new to this?
[14:46] <genius> levander: yes i want not to share information between browsers :) one - for work, and onother with proxy- for entertainment. now i have to switch proxy anytime. and after browser crash it opens all windows in one time with or without proxy...
[14:47] <LaNCeloT_RW> Jack_Sparrow, great! Send me a copy LOL
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> LaNCeloT_RW google 25000 windows driver dvd.. it should come up.. if not let me know and I will make it available
[14:47] <einnar> levander, it appears to be failing to load my wireless card.
[14:47] <levander> jos1: I think you've got a problem that's more difficult than just someone throwing up an answer in an IRC channel.  I'd start googling for a tutorial.  Or, just forget about the files on that disk.  Run a diagnostic on the disk though before you keep using it.
[14:47] <shelia_> is it under ubottu jack?

[14:54] <LaNCeloT_RW> godzirra, it´s RTL8187 or 8189 BUT the driver description for Win98 shows a line with 8199 as well, so maybe it will work

[14:55] <einnar> in initial boot of my xubuntu64 system, it gets to the login screen and freezes. Fresh install.

[14:55] <nixnoob> if i set a socks5 proxy in firefox and restart firefox the proxy info is gone but firefox actually does use the proxy anyway, is this a bug?  Im actually using the win32 client cuz im at work...
[14:55] <godzirra> But mines an 8199 :)
[14:55] <godzirra> we'll see though
