I sound like an advertisement but the prices really are stupid :)
[12:04] <nortcele> Is there a way to update to feisty without downloading a new iso and installing it
[12:04] <Red-Sox> Hello, what is a good way to handle large music libraries?
[12:04] <jackfusion> hi all
[12:04] <Red-Sox> I know about AmaroK but that doesn't look great in gnome, any others?
[12:04] <bascule> !distupgrade
[12:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about distupgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:04] <Jordan_U> nortcele, Yes, just use update-manager
[12:04] <nortcele> k
[12:05] <Xero> !dist-upgrade
[12:05] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:05] <Jordan_U> nortcele, If you are on Edgy it should just offer to do it when you open it
[12:05] <bascule> Xero: thanks :)
[12:05] <Xero> bascule, lucky guess.
[12:05] <nortcele> i'm actually on dapper ^_^;;
[12:05] <bascule> heh
[12:05] <Marshal1> Anyone able to help me track down what is keeping me from unlocking my screensaver, when my login works just fine?
[12:05] <nomaS> hi, anybody know why , when im on the gnome partition, it partition 5gb and then makes an error and exit, its something with pc or hard disk ?
[12:06] <Jordan_U> Xero, Just so you know, changing your sources.list and using dist-upgrade is actually not as safe as using update-manager, and is not recommended
[12:06] <Michael_Garvie> nomaS... most likely the disk
[12:06] <soundray> nortcele: from dapper, you'd have to upgrade to edgy first, then to feisty. Consider waiting for a few weeks and do a fresh install of gutsy once it's released.
[12:06] <Xero> Jordan_U, I hate the update manager
[12:06] <Xero> It never does my dist upgrades correctly.
[12:06] <nortcele> alright, thanks for the help
[12:07] <bluebanana> guys, how can i have a music player start playing an mp3 file at X:YZ PM?
[12:07] <nomaS> Michael_Garvie theres nothing to do with it ? to install ubuntu ? :(
[12:07] <Jordan_U> Xero, In what way?
[12:07] <bluebanana> Using terminal is fine with me.
[12:07] <bluebanana> (I'm going to use it as an alarm clock)
[12:07] <Xero> Jordan_U, it screws up my system if I update using it.
[12:07] <nortcele> hmm... another question would be... Anyone had success with running Second Life under ubuntu
[12:07] <Michael_Garvie> nomas... should take about 20 minutes.... no special stuff needed really
[12:07] <Xero> bluebanana, man cron (i don't know how to use it)
[12:07] <Xero> !cron
[12:07] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[12:07] <soundray> bluebanana: gnome-open file.mp3 | at x.yz
[12:07] <soundray> bluebanana: use 24 hour notation
[12:08] <sethk> cron is good for something that has to happen every day, or every week, or whatever.  "at" is easier to use to make something run just once
[12:08] <m1r> hmhowie bascule , cant i just record file instead of making ISO first ?
[12:08] <jackfusion> Is there a way to find an instance of a key word in a list of files and directories replace it with something else?  Example find /opt/ and replace it with /media/IPOD.
[12:08] <bluebanana> soundray, that's it? looks pretty easy, even for a ubu-baby like me
[12:08] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, you think this would do the trick? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812337035
[12:08] <Cieran> jrib: The download for the 32bit version of Java is going to take half a day. Is there no other way to get Java working in the Ubuntu I currently have?
[12:08] <Xero> bluebanana, Ubuntu is easy.
[12:08] <bluebanana> Xero,  ha ha
[12:08] <Xero> Now Gentoo is another story.
[12:09] <rsk> or LFS.
[12:09] <jrib> Cieran: you mean 32bit version of Ubuntu?
[12:09] <Xero> Oh god.  Yes, I did.
[12:09] <Xero> Gentoohard
[12:09] <bluebanana> ha
[12:09] <Inox> how can I start/stop apache2 on ubuntu?
[12:09] <jrib> Cieran: you want the java plugin, not just java correct?
[12:09] <Jordan_U> Xero, I think that you just had bad experiences by chance while using update-manager, AFIK update-manager is more of a superset of apt-get dist-upgrade, i.e it uses dist-upgrade but has extra sanity checks
[12:09] <sethk> Xero, gentoo isn't hard, as long as you don't mind watching your machine compile for a week or two.
[12:09] <soundray> bluebanana: what's difficult (sometimes) is to find out how to do things like that.
[12:09] <Xero> Inox: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[12:10] <Inox> thanks
[12:10] <bluebanana> soundray, yeah.
[12:10] <Cieran> jrib: I want whatever Java <insert phrase here> is necessary for Java applets to work in Firefox. Every time I open something that requires Java, I am told I need to install a Java Runtime Environment. Every method I have tried of installing anything Java has not fixed this problem.
[12:10] <Jordan_U> bluebanana, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/whatever /mountpoint
[12:10] <bluebanana> thanks for making it easy for me.
[12:10] <bluebanana> Jordan_U, you talking to me?
[12:10] <kenjiru> my sound card stopped working and I get a "[   49.417868]  codec_ready: codec is not ready [0x300000] "
[12:10] <kenjiru> please help!
[12:10] <nortcele> i have one last question. i keep forgetting the steps. this time im going to write it down... How do i stop X Server and go back to plain terminal
[12:10] <Jordan_U> Darkkish, , sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/whatever /mountpoint
[12:11] <Darkkish> thanks
[12:11] <Jordan_U> bluebanana, No, sorry
[12:11] <Xero> nortcele, ctrl+alt+f1
[12:11] <bluebanana> soundray, it also works for a playlist, yes?
[12:11] <Adlai> I've got two jfs logical partitions on one physical partition, with gentoo on one and ubuntu on the other.  Is there an easy way to delete the gentoo partition and expand the ubuntu partition to fill the space of both?
[12:11] <Inox> xero: it says " * Forcing reload of web server (apache2)...                                    apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[12:11] <Inox> httpd (no pid file) not running
[12:11] <Inox> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName"
[12:11] <sethk> Cieran, have you tried running firefox as root, navagating to a site requiring java, and saying "yes" to "should I install java"?  Not the exact words, but you know what I mean.
[12:11] <jrib> Cieran: yes, there is a way to install it on 64bit but it is not straight-forward.  I will have the bot send you a link.  I still think 64bit isn't worth it though and you should just wait for the 32bit download to finish
[12:11] <Xero> login as your user, then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[12:11] <soundray> nortcele: 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' (Xero's answer is for switching)
[12:11] <jrib> sethk: he's on 64bit
[12:11] <Xero> Inox, that restarted Apache.
[12:11] <jrib> !flash64 > Cieran (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:11] <Inox> Ok, thanks
[12:11] <sethk> jrib, isn't the jre binary available for 64 bit?
[12:11] <Xero> Inox, replace 'restart' in that command with 'start' or 'stop' whenever you need them
[12:12] <jrib> sethk: not the plugin
[12:12] <jackfusion> can any one possibly help me?
[12:12] <sethk> jrib, didn't know that.
[12:12] <Inox> Ok, thanks a lot
[12:12] <soundray> jackfusion: ask a question and you'll find out for yourself
[12:12] <jrib> sethk: there's actually a bug several years old on sun's tracker, it's ridiculous
[12:12] <Xero> Also, what's your MSN so I can help you in private next time and keep from putting more crap in the channel?
[12:12] <Jordan_U> jackfusion, We won't know until you ask a question :)
[12:12] <sethk> jrib, no argument here.  :)
[12:13] <jackfusion>  Is there a way to find an instance of a key word in a list of files and directories replace it with something else?  Example find /opt/ and replace it with /media/IPOD.
[12:13] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, OHHH I just remembered, my video card has composite out, won't that work???
[12:13] <kenjiru> my sound card stopped working, please help!
[12:13] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Not for HD resolutions
[12:13] <erUSUL> nomaS: !sound | kenjiru
[12:14] <Cieran> jrib: Do I need to install the 32-bit version of FIrefox first? I've already performed the steps listed on that site for Java, that did not work either.
[12:14] <soundray> jackfusion: sed -i s/\opt\//\/media\/ipod\//g *
[12:14] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, I read at Crutchfield "The component video connections on most HD-capable TVs can accept video signals up to 1080i, while the inputs on non-HD sets are generally limited to 480p."
[12:14] <jrib> Cieran: yes, you need to use 32bit firefox like that page says to get java working
[12:14] <Cieran> jrib: I see.
[12:14] <kenjiru> erUSUL: hm?
[12:14] <Din0x> is there a firewall in ubuntu feisty?
[12:14] <soundray> jackfusion: be careful with the wildcard file input in that examp[le
[12:14] <jrib> !firewall > Din0x (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:15] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, I've never tried it, can't hurt :)
[12:15] <bluebanana> soundray, i tried your command, but the program opens up and starts immediately
[12:15] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, hehe sounds like a good answer. I shall try now :)
[12:15] <erUSUL> !sound | kenjiru
[12:15] <ubotu> kenjiru: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:15] <ScorpKing> what program is used for suspend and hibernate on laptops? mine doesn't work.
[12:16] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, oh I wrote composite, I meant component
[12:16] <colourAgga> :*
[12:16] <soundray> bluebanana: I see -- I thought it would work with gnome-open, but it doesn't. Use a command line mp3 player like mpg321
[12:16] <Jordan_U> ScorpKing, There are multiple options, try uswusp if the default doesn't work
[12:16] <Cieran> jrib: One more question: In some of the steps it has 'usr'. Do I actually put 'usr' or my username there?
[12:16] <ScorpKing> Jordan_U: thanks
[12:16] <bluebanana> soundray, i tried totem, and totem works/plays the music, but it does so now, and not later
[12:16] <jrib> Cieran: usr is a directory so it should stay as "usr"
[12:16] <Cieran> jrib: I see. Thank you.
[12:16] <metrix> Who would I need to talk to about an issue with Gutsy and an external USB device?
[12:16] <bluebanana> can mplayer handle playlist files (.pls)?
[12:17] <jrib> bluebanana: try 'mplayer -playlist foo.pls'
[12:17] <kenjiru> erUSUL: you don't understand, the sound just stopped working
[12:17] <bluebanana> how can i get mplayer to repeat the playing of the playlist forever
[12:17] <Jordan_U> ScorpKing, "sudo apt-get install uswsusp" then "sudo s2ram / s2disk / s2both" to use it
[12:17] <jrib> metrix: if it's a bug, you should file it at bugs.ubuntu.com.  If it's a support question, you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:17] <soundray> bluebanana: mplayer -loop
[12:18] <Jordan_U> ScorpKing, You can also make Gnome use it by default but make sure it works first
[12:18] <jrib> bluebanana: mplayer -loop 0
[12:18] <jackfusion> soundray: I get this error sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unknown option to 's'
[12:18] <ScorpKing> Jordan_U: :) running it now. what is the default program, just for info? i'm using kde.
[12:18] <erUSUL> kenjiru: something has to have happened... things odes not "just stop working"
[12:19] <MaximLevitsky> Is that possible to open a terminal in a folder using Nautilus ?
[12:19] <Eviltronic> I'm on Feisty and i have little problems with refresh rate. On higher resolutions my refresh rate is only 60 but on lower like 1024x768 its up to 85. My monitor supports refresh rate up to 120 hz. How can i change refresh rate for higher resolutions. Like 100 hz?
[12:19] <soundray> jackfusion: try sed -i 's/\opt\//\/media\/ipod\//g' * (single quotes around the expression)
[12:19] <bluebanana> how come mplayer is playing an FLV file like a chipmunk? (totem plays it correctly)
[12:19] <Flannel> MaximLevitsky: You should install the nautilus-open-terminal package, then you'll have an entry in your right click menu
[12:19] <mweichert> hey! I just setup a small network of computer using ubuntu. I can ping by hostname, but not fqdn - any ideas?
[12:20] <allorder> Ive just downloaded scourge-0.18.x86.package how to install it ?
[12:20] <jrib> jackfusion, soundray: you know sed can use other characters to delimit, like s#foo#bar# ?  (helps keep my sanity)
[12:21] <jackfusion> soundray: would I put ipod in capitals just like it in the media folder?
[12:21] <soundray> mweichert: if you give it a fqdn, it'll look it up via DNS, so if it doesn't work, there's either no entry or you don't have DNS.
[12:21] <soundray> jrib: cool!
[12:21] <fujin_> mweichert: are you serving the fqdn locally (with BIND, or dnsmasq?)
[12:21] <sistom> I installed scream html editor and now whenever I click a link in like a mirc client it opens it instead of firefox. How do I change the default program for html files?
[12:21] <fujin_> I'd suggest dnsmasq if you want something lightweight
[12:21] <soundray> jackfusion: yes, /media/IPOD and /media/ipod are different, if that's what you're asking.
[12:21] <mweichert> fujin_ BIND
[12:21] <bluebanana> soundray,  mplayer foo.mp3 | at 15:22 makes the music start now. and not later. are you sure you have the right command/syntax?
[12:22] <jackfusion> thank you
[12:22] <fujin_> mweichert: does host blah ip_of_server work?
[12:22] <bluebanana> does anybody know how to get a command in terminal to start at AB:CD PM?
[12:22] <m1r> how long does it take to create *.iso from 700mb file ?
[12:23] <mweichert> fujin_ yes. My dns server is called 'dns'. I can execute this: 'ping dns' but I cannot do 'ping dns.mydomain.local'
[12:23] <tarelerulz> Have any of you installed Linux onto a router ? The reason I ask is the firmware is like 2002 and it don't have both tcp and  udp  in the port forwarding tab
[12:23] <jrib> bluebanana: at your_time_here       then type in your command and hit ctrl-d
[12:23] <allorder> Ive just downloaded scourge-0.18.x86.package how to install it ?
[12:23] <Cieran> jrib: I installed the 32 Bit Emulation Libraries, downloaded the installation gzip, but when I put in 'tar -zxf firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz' I got this message: "tar: firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[12:23] <Cieran> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[12:23] <Cieran> tar: Child returned status 2
[12:23] <Cieran> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[12:23] <fujin_> ls -la
[12:24] <bluebanana> jrib, i see. so something like at 15:30 mplayer music.mp3
[12:24] <soundray> bluebanana: the syntax is right, but it works with some programs, but not others.
[12:24] <jrib> Cieran: please use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for your error messages
[12:24] <bluebanana> correct?
[12:24] <jrib> bluebanana: you are pressing enter after the time
[12:24] <bluebanana> soundray, the syntax you gave me is the reverse of what jrib gives me
[12:24] <ScorpKing> tarelerulz: there is openwrt and dd-wrt and others for routers.
[12:24] <jrib> bluebanana: soundray's would work too if you echo the command probably
[12:25] <jrib> Cieran: it means you are in the wrong directory
[12:25] <Cieran> jrib: ?
[12:25] <jackfusion> soundray: I now get the same error different charater now "sed: -e expression #1, char 27: unknown option to 's'"
[12:25] <jackfusion> soundray: I get the same error but with char 27  now
[12:25] <bluebanana> jrib, tab-completion doesn't work when i'm in the "at>" prompt.
[12:25] <Flannel> allorder: Ubuntu doesn't use autopackage packages, it uses deb files.  You should find a version of scourge that is a deb (a cursory google search says getdeb has them)
[12:25] <soundray> bluebanana: I've just tested jrib's and mine -- with mplayer jrib's is best.
[12:25] <jrib> bluebanana: correct
[12:25] <TUXedomember> hey if u do ctrl alt f1 how do u get back to the gui?
[12:25] <bluebanana> soundray, how do i do your syntax?
[12:25] <sethk> bluebanana, no need to stuggle.  "man command" will show you information about the command.  "command --help" will show you more brief information.  Both include the syntax of the command.
[12:26] <soundray> bluebanana: with a different player program. Try mpg321
[12:26] <tarelerulz> ScorpKing, I don't know what all that is could you break it down for me ?
[12:26] <m1r> tuxedomember ; c
[12:26] <m1r> tuxedomember ; ctrl + alt + f7
[12:26] <soundray> jackfusion: can you repeat, what are you trying to replace in which files?
[12:26] <jrib> Cieran: you need to 'cd' to the directory where you downloaded the firefox.tar.gz
[12:26] <jrib> !cli > Cieran (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:26] <Marshal1> I'm able to login to gnome, but I'm unable to unlock the desktop from screensaver or screen locking.  I have posted a bit of log file and some descriptions of things I have checked at http://pastebin.com/m24cb6805
[12:26] <bluebanana> jrib, how do i cancel an "at" job?
[12:27] <\dev\hda1> Look at me! I'm an IDE hard disk! (sorry. I'm bored)
[12:27] <Cieran> jrib: Ah. Oh yes I see.
[12:27] <MenZa> lmfao \dev\hda1
[12:27] <soundray> bluebanana: atq to view, atrm number to remove
[12:27] <paulcooperorama> how do I join a windows network family
[12:27] <jackfusion> trying to replace /opt/ with /media/IPOD in Directory lampp in all the files.
[12:27] <colourAgga> fear factor
[12:27] <bluebanana> soundray, thanks. you r good
[12:27] <imachine> Hi, I have kubuntu, want to have ubuntu. How ?
[12:27] <ScorpKing> tarelerulz: i prefer dd-wrt - www.dd-wrt.com . it's linux on a router. all the info is on the website.
[12:27] <sobersabre> hi, guys. I have a wierd statistical question.
[12:28] <paulcooperorama> how do I join a windows network family
[12:28] <colourAgga> imachine: get ubuntu disc and install?
[12:28] <\dev\hda1> imachine, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:28] <imachine> \dev\hda1, done that. how do I remove kubuntu now ?
[12:28] <soundray> jackfusion: cd /path/to/lampp ; sed -i 's#/opt/#/media/IPOD#g' *
[12:28] <sobersabre> how many MB/GB of data had a user of, say ubuntu Feisty Fawn since its release, to update the software ?
[12:28] <bluebanana> i think there should be tab-completion in "at" command.
[12:28] <imachine> apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop only removes the meta.
[12:28] <paulcooperorama> how do I join a windows network family
[12:28] <sobersabre> given the user installed EVERYTHING.
[12:28] <\dev\hda1> imachine, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-usplash (i think) to get the splash screen
[12:28] <bascule> sobersabre: about 300
[12:28] <\dev\hda1> and sudo apt-get install gdm
[12:29] <\dev\hda1> then you'll have a choice between GNOME and KDE
[12:29] <bascule> sobersabre: MB
[12:29] <sobersabre> bascule: how can I determine this too ?
[12:29] <\dev\hda1> !info ubuntu-usplash
[12:29] <ubotu> Package ubuntu-usplash does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:29] <\dev\hda1> Crap
[12:29] <imachine> \dev\hda1, done that too. also I chose to run gdm with dpkg.
[12:29] <imachine> it's all good. I just want to remove all that's left from kubuntu.
[12:29] <sobersabre> bascule: another Q: I am not talkin about one-time upgrade after vanilla CD install.
[12:29] <imachine> so I have a clean ubuntu install.
[12:29] <bascule> sobersabre: do a frsh install 2 weeks ago and run apt-get update apt-get upgrade ;)
[12:29] <\dev\hda1> sudo apt-get install usplash-theme-ubuntu gets you the usplash, I have no idea how to remove ALL of Kubuntu
[12:29] <sobersabre> I am talking about a user that downloaded the distro on the release day, and updated the system all the time.
[12:30] <bascule> sobersabre: well how many packages did they have?
[12:30] <imachine> \dev\hda1, no such option to apt-get as to remove all packages dependant on a package?
[12:30] <paulcooperorama> how do I join a windows network family
[12:30] <colourAgga> how do i make x-chat connect to multiple servers
[12:30] <bluebanana> how can i get mplayer to play foo.mp3  5 times?
[12:30] <Jordan_U> paulcooperorama, Places -> Network ?
[12:30] <sobersabre> bascule: my question is much more difficult than you thought at the start.
[12:30] <imachine> \dev\hda1, such as, apt-get remove -f kubuntu-desktop perhaphs ?
[12:30] <imachine> \dev\hda1, you know what I mean ?
[12:30] <\dev\hda1> imachine, I know what you mean, but I have no idea how to do it.
[12:30] <paulcooperorama> jordan--- I want to join my family network
[12:30] <Curs0r__> !iscsi
[12:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about iscsi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:30] <imachine> \dev\hda1, okay no bother.
[12:31] <soundray> bluebanana: it's probably time to read some mplayer documentation. Check out 'man mplayer' and the stuff in /usr/share/doc/mplayer/
[12:31] <\dev\hda1> !samba | paulcooperorama
[12:31] <ubotu> paulcooperorama: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[12:31] <imachine> \dev\hda1, I'll search apt-get man pages.
[12:31] <Curs0r__> anyone kow of a decent ubuntu iscsi guide?
[12:31] <Cieran> jrib: Would you mind sending me the link one more time for the website containing the instructions? I er...accidentally closed my browser
[12:31] <Jordan_U> paulcooperorama, Is it listed under windows networks?
[12:31] <\dev\hda1> That helps you set up a share, paulcooperorama, if that's what you meant.
[12:31] <bascule> sobersabre: I will see if there are logs for apt-get, but even then was a package installed after upgrades appeared or not, it has to man variables to be definitive

[12:31] <paulcooperorama> jordan I installed samba
[12:31] <sobersabre> bascule: I am asking this: how many MB had a user of ubuntu FF, 7.04 to download if he/she installed it on the release date, and updated all the updates.....
[12:31] <bascule> too many*
[12:31] <paulcooperorama> jordan --- yes
[12:31] <Cieran> jrib: Thank you
[12:31] <bascule> sobersabre: again, depends what packages were there
[12:31] <sobersabre> bascule: I think, estimate it about 2-3 times the CD, at least.
[12:31] <bascule> no way
[12:31] <soundray> sobersabre: is a very rough estimate good enough?
[12:31] <Jordan_U> paulcooperorama, And what happens when you try to connect to it from there?
[12:32] <sobersabre> I am talking extreme EVERYTHING INSTALLED.
[12:32] <sobersabre> I don't know.
[12:32] <ScorpKing> tarelerulz: support for linux on routers can be found on irc.jawug.za.net port 6667 channel wnet.
[12:32] <paulcooperorama> I am not able to see the "family" network
[12:32] <bascule> sobersabre: personal experience from 14 days ago, 300MB
[12:32] <sobersabre> bascule: thanks.
[12:32] <squarebottle> Can anybody recommend a few alternatives to the default Applications Menu on the GNOME panel?
[12:32] <sobersabre> this doesn't answer my question.
[12:32] <sobersabre> :)
[12:32] <metrix> If there is a bug filed for a package "say module-init-utils", there is a bug filed at bugs.ubuntu.com and I would like to try my hand at fixing it, how would I go about fixing it?
[12:32] <bascule> sobersabre: but that was not 'everything installed'
[12:32] <Jordan_U> sobersabre, You cannot install every application in the repositories if that is what you are trying to do
[12:32] <sobersabre> squarebottle: what do you mean.
[12:32] <\dev\hda1> squarebottle, the desktop, Awn, Kiba-Dock
[12:33] <squarebottle> No, not an alternative for the panel itself.
[12:33] <squarebottle> Just the menu.
[12:33] <paulcooperorama> jordan -- doesnt that have to installed someplace
[12:33] <soundray> squarebottle: I like to start almost everything via Alt-F2
[12:33] <sobersabre> bascule: assuming ALL possible updates released from main, contrib, multiverse, universe HAD to be downloaded.
[12:33] <sobersabre> Jordan_U: I know.
[12:33] <squarebottle> soundray: This isn't for me. I start most things via alt-f2 as well.
[12:33] <sobersabre> I am talking about estimation.
[12:33] <sobersabre> I hope I am clear... now.
[12:33] <sobersabre> :)
[12:34] <Jordan_U> paulcooperorama, So it is *not* listed under Places -> Network -> Windows Network ?
[12:34] <bascule> sobersabre: in *all* avialable (16000) packages?
[12:34] <paulcooperorama> jordan -- that is correct
[12:34] <osito> is there a networking channel?
[12:35] <squarebottle> For example, KBFX is an applet for the KDE panel that can replace the regular KDE start button. I'm looking to replace the regular GNOME start button with something. Can anybody help me out?
[12:35] <sobersabre> OK. I have an argument with a person, who considers a distro including MORE packages on the CD to be more superior, from downloaded data perspective, given download is for paid traffic ( in MB/$ ).
[12:35] <bascule> sobersabre: you would need to ask a mirror admin with good logs for an accurate answer
[12:35] <sobersabre> bascule: is there any default stats of a debian mirror up and running ?
[12:35] <sobersabre> I think debian is quite in sync with ubuntu.
[12:36] <bascule> sobersabre: but it all depends on what you install
[12:36] <sobersabre> from the updates perspective.
[12:36] <sobersabre> of course.
[12:36] <kelvin> #ubuntu-es
[12:36] <bascule> sobersabre: published stats, I really dunno
[12:36] <soundray> sobersabre: this is not a well-formed question. Too many variables.
[12:37] <jackfusion> soundray: I think I am getting some where now I get the message sed: no input files
[12:37] <paulcooperorama> jordan -- that is correct
[12:37] <soundray> jackfusion: you must have forgotten the *
[12:37] <sobersabre> soundray: I know.
[12:37] <sobersabre> I am forming it ... right now.
[12:37] <jackfusion> oh ok
[12:37] <noodlehead> I'm able to login to gnome with no problems.  If I lock my desktop or the screensaver comes on, I'm unable to unlock it.  For details, http://pastebin.com/m35f820e4
[12:37] <eTranquility> Can someone help me with using sudo? Everytime I'm prompted for the password it doesn't seem to respond to any keyboard commands, seems like my keyboard is disabled.
[12:38] <sobersabre> does anybody understand what I am asking ?
[12:38] <jackfusion> I get the same error except char 23 now
[12:38] <sobersabre> I mean, if there was update of ooo say 2 weeks ago, 4 weeks ago, I want to count all of these megabytes in the count.
[12:38] <bascule> sobersabre: it is all ging to depend on what the individual has on there machine at any time, this is linux and Free software, *so* many possibilities
[12:39] <jackfusion> is xara 3d better the gimp?
[12:39] <tarelerulz> ScorpKing, is it the router Linux you use easy to install
[12:39] <erUSUL> eTranquility: judt type the password and hit enter echo is disabled so you won't see anything (not even ****)
[12:39] <bascule> sobersabre: say I do ubuntu-server and run ssh and nothing else?
[12:40] <sasa> hello all. I am trying to upgrade my system from edgy to the latest using the update manager. Once I click on "update", it starts downloading the upgrade utility, then I get the following message: " Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server." Any thoughts anyone???
[12:40] <ScorpKing> tarelerulz: yes but do some reading first and make sure your router's model is supported.
[12:40] <erUSUL> jackfusion: different xara i more like inkscape (vectorial drawing) gim is bitmap
[12:40] <soundray> sobersabre: for the five months of feisty history, I agree with bascule's estimate of 300MB, possibly a bit more, as some packages have been updated more than once. Problem is, there's no way to extrapolate that into a prediction for the future.
[12:40] <eTranquility> erUSUL, thanks, it works.
[12:40] <mkamal30> hi
[12:41] <jackfusion> oh ok
[12:41] <ScorpKing> tarelerulz: i have to go now. all the info you need is on that link i gave you. good luck.
[12:43] <TUXedomember> hey does open office have a web editing thing in it?

[12:52] <ubotu> TUXedomember: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project.  It will be in the Ubuntu repos for 7.10 ("gutsy"); meanwhile for other versions add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:  "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu {edgy,feisty} universe"  (pick your release and list it without brackets, and no quotes)
[12:52] <soundray> jackfusion: can you type the command you're using in here, please
[12:52] <fujin_> no, this is the support channel
[12:52] <fujin_> there is an official chat channel
[12:52] <Flannel> usacomputertec: #ubuntu-offtopic is for general chatter
[12:53] <rsk> usacomputertec: there is something like #ubuntu-chat afaik. and this is the supportchannel
[12:53] <rsk> ah -offtopic then.
[12:53] <usacomputertec> ok
[12:53] <noodlehead> soundray, I'll try it.  I only have 2 real users on this machine.  If I suddenly d/c that means I had to kill gdm
[12:53] <jackfusion> sed -i 's#/opt/#/media/IPOD#g'* in the lampp directory
[12:53] <soundray> noodlehead: you could create a new one for testing
[12:53] <dv310p3r> how do i access device manager? i don't see it in my System > Administration?
[12:54] <noodlehead> soundray, good thinking.... working on it

[12:54] <sasa> hey all....I thing I'm in deep crap...I tried to update to the latest version using update manager. I was having trouble so I ran gpg in the terminal, aborted it, then ran the update manager again. Now it says "Upgrading Ubuntu to version 6.10". I thought the version was 7.x!! I would hate to have my computer run for an hour and not accomplish anything. Please help!!!
[12:54] <usacomputertec> OH NO the people in Ubuntu-offtopic are all dead! They don't talk
[12:55] <usacomputertec> Or maybe Microsoft put those new Trusted Computing chips in their brains!
[12:55] <sasa> I forgot to mention that there is no button to stop the install
[12:55] <usacomputertec> The ones that only let them think Microsoft thoughts and can't process anything else
[12:55] <soundray> usacomputertec: have some patience
[12:55] <dv310p3r> how do i access device manager? i don't see it in my System > Administration?
[12:55] <jackfusion> soundray: now I think it is working
[12:55] <mboldisc> Has anyone gotten vsftpd running on Ubuntu with a restricted set of users?
[12:56] <sasa> how can I check what my current installed version of ubuntu is??
[12:56] <soundray> sasa: if you were on 6.06, you have to upgrade to 6.10 before you can go to 7.04
[12:56] <erUSUL> sasa: lsb_release -a
[12:56] <Nalleman> hi all. Im trying to play some midi files but I get no sound. Someone here know what might be wrong?

[12:57] <Nalleman> hehe, thancks erUSUL
[12:57] <sasa> soundray: that sounds like a perfect explanation. Could you please let me know how can I check my current installed version (sorry, I'm a n00b)
[12:57] <Nalleman> thanks evenm
[12:57] <soundray> sasa: cat /etc/lsb-release
[12:57] <nahka> how can I enable the login as root ?

[12:58] <dv310p3r> I have googled all over the place and I cannot find anywhere how to access the Device Manager, everything says go to System > Administration and should be there, but it's not. Please help?
[12:58] <zero> oa
[12:58] <soundray> dv310p3r: don't expect things to be like Windows
[12:58] <soundray> dv310p3r: what are you trying to do?
[12:58] <mboldisc> hehe
[12:58] <Numbeast> dv310p3r: go to system->main menu and see if it's disabled
[12:59] <jshriver> What is the "Networking Applet"?
[12:59] <sasa> soundsray: hmmm, my current version is "Ubuntu 6.10"
[12:59] <dv310p3r> Soundray: I need to access device manager so that i can see if my SD card reader shows up there. I have been trying to get it working for days now.
[01:00] <soundray> sasa: but then you've already partially upgraded. Your /etc/lsb-release may have been replaced.
[01:00] <osito> jshriver, it's what I want to re-enable on my laptop
[01:00] <soundray> dv310p3r: is it a built-in laptop card reader?
[01:00] <jshriver> the wifidocs says to use Network applet to configure the wireless card.
[01:00] <dv310p3r> yes
[01:00] <dv310p3r> soundray: sorry, yes.
[01:00] <sethk> dv310p3r, lspci will tell you whether the reader (as opposed to the card itself) is detected
[01:01] <sasa> son of a....when I click on the upgrade button after I run the update manager (so I can upgrade to 7.04) I get an error message "authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server"
[01:01] <soundray> dv310p3r: these are difficult beasts to support. The SD consortium is very secretive and anti-free-software.
[01:01] <dv310p3r> soudnray: i know, I have run it and I am creating a text doc with all the info on my system, and I need to see if it is in device manager
[01:01] <codgod04> anyone have problems with the new ATI drivers on 7.04? the ati control centre seems to be refusing to detect and use my secondary monitor.
[01:01] <osito> jshriver, try to sudo aptitude install network-manager
[01:01] <jshriver> hrm thanks
[01:01] <sasa> do you recommend running all the updates for my existing version before I attempt upgrading to 7.04??
[01:01] <jshriver> is network-manager the same thing as System->Admin->Networking?
[01:02] <jackfusion> /exit
[01:02] <soundray> dv310p3r: I wouldn't spend too much time on it. Use a USB card reader, and see if the live CD of gutsy (currently alpha) works out of the box with your internal reader.
[01:02] <usacomputertec> no exit
[01:02] <dv310p3r> soundray: when i access the SYSTEM > MAIN MENU option, device manager isn't even in there.
[01:02] <usacomputertec> you can't exit jackfusion
[01:02] <usacomputertec> no
[01:02] <osito> jshriver, not it's not, it's ana applet you'll see next to the clock once installed
[01:03] <dv310p3r> soundray: is there a way to run device manager from the terminal?
[01:03] <Numbeast> dv310p3r: that's because I was being stupid, there's no such thing as the device manager in ubuntu
[01:03] <dv310p3r> that's not the case, I have seen it in a ubuntu manual
[01:03] <Numbeast> dv310p3r: goto system->prefs->hardware info
[01:03] <jshriver> hrm ok see it now
[01:03] <dv310p3r> http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~mako/docteam/quickguide/ch05.html#qg-device-manager
[01:04] <soundray> dv310p3r: System-Preferences-Hardware Information is the closest thing
[01:04] <jshriver> but shows nothing for wireless just my wired connection
[01:04] <jshriver> no configure or anything
[01:04] <Kanuha> help, I insert a USB drive and it comes up read only with unknown owner. need to change to be able to write files to it
[01:04] <dstadulis> Hi I have a urgent question, I suspect one of my HDD is going to fail soon, I can hear clicking, but I cannot get my seagate external hard drive ( st3400601cb rk ) to mount.  Can anyone please help me?
[01:04] <fujin_> so remount it rw?
[01:04] <sasa> soundray: when I run update manager, I get the message "Not all updates can be installed: run a distributing upgrade, to install as many updates as possible". Do I have to be completely up-to-date on my edgy version before I'm allowed to upgrade to 7.04??
[01:04] <jshriver> and when I go to Network Settings, it doesnt ask for encryption type or anything... nor let me look for AP's.
[01:05] <jshriver> know my SSID and pass, but doesnt let me select WPA etc
[01:05] <dv310p3r> Numbeast: Soundray: Bam, now we're talking, note that the title of that window is: Device Manager. Thanks guys,
[01:05] <Kanuha> fujin_, how can I do that?
[01:05] <codgod04> anyone know how I might be able to force the new ati drivers to detect and use my secondary dvi on my video card? (radeon x1950 pro)
[01:06] <soundray> sasa: yes and no... you can probably force a direct upgrade, but it's probably not going to work and leave your machine in an unfixable state.
[01:06] <fujin_> !fat32

[01:06] <fujin_> Kanuha^^
[01:06] <codgod04> it stopped working when I was messing with the control centre.
[01:06] <kersinc> #panas
[01:06] <sasa> soundray: so I'm better off completely updating my current version, then upgrading to 7.04?
[01:07] <soundray> sasa: it's either that, or a fresh install (which I personally prefer)
[01:07] <Eviltronic> I'm on Feisty and i have little problems with refresh rate. On higher resolutions my refresh rate is only 60 but on lower like 1024x768 its up to 85. My monitor supports refresh rate up to 120 hz. How can i change refresh rate for higher resolutions. Like 100 hz?
[01:07] <soundray> !fixres > Eviltronic (please read the private message from ubotu)
[01:07] <sethk> sasa, I agree with soundray.  Trying to upgrade and skip a release is the riskiest option
[01:07] <codgod04> !ati
[01:07] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:08] <Eviltronic> soundray: Sure. Thnx.
[01:08] <codgod04> !ati remove
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ati remove - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <osmosis> not sure what this question mark is for.   http://dpaste.com/20477/
[01:09] <soundray> codgod04: if you want to go back to the xorg ati driver, run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and select ati instead of fglrx as the video driver.
[01:09] <sasa> soundray and sethk: thank you, I will run the distribution upgrade for my current version, then try 7.04 upgrade...wish me luck.
[01:09] <soundray> sasa: fingers crossed.
[01:09] <sasa> thanks all:)
[01:09] <SuperLag> vim /etc/apt/sources.list ; %s/dapper/feisty/g ; apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade <-- I did that... and now a lot of stuff is broken. I thought it'd work. Is there a way to fix this box without requiring a complete reinstall?
[01:10] <jackfusion> hi all I am back
[01:10] <soundray> SuperLag: try 'sudo apt-get -f install', possibly several times.
[01:10] <jmsmistral^> hello
[01:11] <jshriver> hrm still not getting wireless working grr
[01:11] <jshriver> what a PITA lol
[01:11] <soundray> jshriver: have you looked at the guide? ::
[01:11] <jshriver> Is there a good GUI for setting up a wireless card?
[01:11] <jshriver> yeah
[01:12] <soundray> !wireless | jshriver
[01:12] <ubotu> jshriver: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:12] <jshriver> that's how I downloaded the driver compiled it, everything
[01:12] <codgod04> @soundray i've run it, and it works when I install the restricted driver manager and configure my xorg.conf manually... it's just with the newer drivers installed with envy that i'm having this problem... and the drivers anticipated with envy help me with video lag issues.
[01:12] <Ltar> ls command to list all hard drives? I swear im going to write it down this time
[01:12] <jshriver> now I'm at the point where I change /etc/network/interfaces.. problem being I dont want it to auto connect to a specific AP.  but I can't get the ifup rausb0 working without having it setup for a specific AP it seems
[01:12] <codgod04> @soundray, also, when I uninstall using envy, it isn't getting rid of everthing... whatever i did that broke the secondary monitors comes back when I use it.
[01:13] <codgod04> @soundray every time I reinstall, that is.

[01:13] <ubotu> codgod04: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[01:13] <jshriver> Is there a way of saying "load up wireless link without connecting to a specific AP?" so I can run rutilit and manually select APs?
[01:13] <TUXedomember> ok people i need your help again this time with kompozer
[01:14] <Numbeast> !envy | NumBeast
[01:14] <codgod04> @soundray lol... thanks for the info NOW :(
[01:14] <jshriver> or where in the settings/conf can I tell it I have a AP with a PSK, etc?
[01:14] <jshriver> and type of encryption to use?
[01:15] <soundray> codgod04: well, you've got a backup, haven't you?
[01:15] <TUXedomember> i need help!!!
[01:15] <Numbeast> soundray: you make it sound as if everyone had as much time as a professional
[01:16] <Ltar> I have a primary SATA drive and a failing 80GB EIDE drive, which is also bootable. Having both plugged in at startup = disk boot failure, even if I select to boot from the SATA. I want to mount the EIDE drive before it craps out the rest of the way, in order to recover some data from it.
[01:16] <soundray> Numbeast: any sound you hear on IRC is not something I generate ;)
[01:17] <Numbeast> lol
[01:17] <codgod04> @soundray of the xorg.confs, several. whatever this is though that's being stubborn, it's only happening to me with the new drivers. the ones downloaded from the ubuntu repo work just fine... they are just a pain to configure properly. but what's doing this is completely seperate from the xorg file, as i've tried two of my backups and have the same results.
[01:17] <sethk> Ltar, ok, so what's your specific question.
[01:17] <Ltar> sethk: how can I mount the drive, if the computer won't boot with it plugged in at startup?
[01:17] <erUSUL> Ltar: ls command to list all hard drives? <<<>>> ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[01:17] <MaximLevitsky> Is that possible to launch a terminal from a nautilus?
[01:17] <codgod04> i just figured there was somethin I was overlooking.
[01:18] <MaximLevitsky> in specific folder?
[01:18] <erUSUL> Ltar: use a livecd ubuntu's or any other (knoppix e.g)
[01:18] <soundray> codgod04: that may well be true. Please ask the channel again, there's always a chance that someone else may have a better answer for you.
[01:18] <ki4cgp> soundray, OK.  This is noodlehead. it also affects other users with not being able to access from screensaver.  admin access works as it should.  odd.
[01:18] <sethk> Ltar, boot a cd is my first suggestion.
[01:18] <TUXedomember> yo people help i need help!!!!!!!
[01:19] <CoasterMaster> !iso
[01:19] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[01:19] <josh_> with what?
[01:19] <furenku> How can I change who the owner of a folder is? (its now root, i want a user to be the owner)
[01:19] <CoasterMaster> furenku, chown
[01:19] <codgod04> TUXedomember: please let us know WHAT the problem is, rather than the fact you have one :D
[01:19] <mssever> !ask
[01:19] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:19] <furenku> codgod04, chmod and what parameters?
[01:20] <macd> furenku, 'chown -R user:group folder/'
[01:20] <TUXedomember> i told u people what the problem is before i need help with kompozer it wont publish
[01:20] <soundray> ki4cgp: weird. I suggest you boot in recovery mode (grub boot option) and do a 'rm -rf /tmp/*'
[01:20] <harris2004> hello
[01:20] <macd> TUXedomember, wont publish is pretty broad, how about the error it gives you
[01:21] <harris2004> i gota a problem...my ubuntu doesnt load anymore..it loads by 4 bars and nothing else
[01:21] <ki4cgp> soundray, kk.  I'll try that
[01:21] <soundray> furenku: on a root folder, you will have to use sudo with chown
[01:21] <CoasterMaster> harris2004, did you do anything weird to your computer that might have caused this?
[01:21] <TUXedomember> when i hit publish and enter my info it tells me that it had a problem publishing and didn't publish. all the info it need's is correct
[01:22] <mjancaitis> Hey everybody!
[01:22] <CoasterMaster> !hi | mjancaitis
[01:22] <ubotu> mjancaitis: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:22] <harris2004> yeah, i changed the case...however windows was not affected

[01:23] <soundray> !hi | salvator2
[01:23] <ubotu> salvator2: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:23] <nilihanth> hello, I'm having trouble seeing my network via wireless...anyone help?
[01:23] <salvator2> Yay! I've been trying so hard to get ubuntu and it finally works!
[01:23] <salvator2> This is so cool
[01:23] <mjancaitis> I'm pretty damn sure I've installed the 64-bit 7.04 on my laptop, but A) I'm not sure how to check it (uname -a tells me x86-64) and B) it's not recognizing both cores of my dual-core processor, which I need to fix
[01:23] <Rotanimod> welcome to Ubuntu!
[01:23] <mjancaitis> Who's got some badass ideas for me?
[01:23] <robink> This is an odd request, but how do you bootstrap Ubuntu from a Gentoo LiveCD?
[01:23] <harris2004> coastmaster, you have anu sggestions?
[01:24] <robink> The Ubuntu LiveCD pops the display into a mode that the monitor can't handle.
[01:24] <soundray> mjancaitis: how do you know it's not recognizing your two cores?
[01:24] <robink> (Installing Ubuntu 6.06)
[01:24] <kitche> mjancaitis, are you sure it's not what does cat /proc/cpuinfo tell you
[01:24] <robink> Yes, I know it's old, but it's what I was told to install.
[01:24] <Jordan_U> robink, Did you try safe graphics mode?
[01:24] <mjancaitis> cat /proc/cpuinfo tells me 1 core
[01:24] <robink> Jordan_U: Yup
[01:24] <mjancaitis> I promise :D
[01:24] <CoasterMaster> harris2004, hmmm, i'm not sure
[01:24] <jackfusion> I tried finding every instance /opt/ and change it to media/IPOD/ with no luck
[01:24] <codgod04> !crap
[01:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:24] <kai> anyone using a hp dv2120us or dv2000 series here? need to ask a few questions about the graphics/network card
[01:24] <harris2004> ok
[01:24] <kitche> mjancaitis, if it says 1 then it's two
[01:24] <Jordan_U> robink, Told to install by whom and what for?
[01:24] <codgod04> LOL
[01:24] <kitche> mjancaitis, since it would say 0
[01:24] <codgod04> !crap
[01:24] <Badpenguin86> What is the command for the gnome network proxy?
[01:24] <Red-Sox> HOw do I make banshee my default audio player?
[01:24] <nilihanth> I'm connected to the internet via wireless, but I cannot see my network folders.  Can anyone help?
[01:24] <robink> Jordan_U: By my Godfather for a Spanish-language thin client.
[01:25] <codgod04> !nothing
[01:25] <ubotu> Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail.
[01:25] <Jordan_U> robink, Did you try switching to tty 1 ?
[01:25] <codgod04> !crap
[01:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:25] <robink> Jordan_U: No, I'll try that.
[01:25] <soundray> codgod04: don't do this please
[01:25] <codgod04> ok lol
[01:25] <soundray> !language | codgod04
[01:25] <ubotu> codgod04: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:25] <codgod04> sorry.
[01:25] <Curs0r> does the gpxe source come with ubuntu?
[01:25] <Red-Sox> codgod04: You can message the bot though :P
[01:25] <codgod04> just messing with the bot.
[01:25] <Jordan_U> robink, There is also a text based install CD
[01:25] <Jordan_U> !alternate | robink
[01:25] <ubotu> robink: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[01:25] <nilihanth> is there a channel to go for help with ubuntu?
[01:25] <mjancaitis> kitche: I disagree, mainly because I'm trying to install a dual-core program (F@H SMP) and it tells me I only have one core (and the actual text says core id         : 0
[01:25] <mjancaitis> cpu cores       : 1)
[01:25] <soundray> !msgthebot | codgod04
[01:25] <ubotu> codgod04: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[01:26] <mjancaitis> Whoops, crazy enters
[01:26] <Jordan_U> nilihanth, Here :)
[01:26] <Inox> hi fellas

Can any one help me ple
[01:26] <soundray> IrishDave: it's probably a BIOS restriction. Open the BIOS setup and look for something like MBR virus protection.
[01:27] <sobersabre> there's some diff support for upgrades.
[01:27] <mjancaitis> No idea :(
[01:27] <salvator2> Anybody know if there is a chat channel for beginners?
[01:27] <IrishDave> thanks soundray
[01:27] <Inox> #newbies
[01:27] <salvator2> thank you
[01:27] <sobersabre> salvator2: what is your question, actually ?
[01:27] <kitche> mjancaitis, ok if you say so but if you have a 0 and a 1 then you have two cores
[01:27] <Jordan_U> jackfusion, As in ipodlinux ?
[01:27] <sobersabre> maybe you should not waste your time... and ask it....
[01:27] <salvator2> Well, just wanted to know some of the features ubuntu offers
[01:27] <salvator2> my first time on any linux distro
[01:27] <robink> Jordan_U: Exactly what I needed.  Thank you.
[01:27] <slash> rerver wroclaw.ircx.net.pl
[01:27] <Jordan_U> robink, np
[01:28] <sobersabre> salvator2: #newbies has nothing to do with ubuntu ( unless accidentally there's someone who knows.
[01:28] <Inox> salvator2 I recommend ubuntuforums.com
[01:28] <mjancaitis> kitche: I only have one core id, I should have two core ids, should be able to see two core loads and stuff in the system monitor, etc
[01:28] <Inox> read some, then chat
[01:28] <Badpenguin86> What is the command for the gnome network proxy?
[01:28] <salvator2> ok, thank you, i'll check it out
[01:28] <mjancaitis> badpenguin86: gnome-network-manager
[01:28] <sobersabre> salvator2: use Inox suggestion, simply read in your tempo the forums, usually FAQ answer most questions.
[01:28] <mjancaitis> I think
[01:28] <Red-Sox> Does anyone know how to configure the buttons of a Microsoft 6000 v2.0 keyboard?  I know how to configure keyboard shortcuts but most of them don't work.
[01:28] <Curs0r> anyone? ubuntu over iscsi?
[01:29] <kitche> mjancaitis, do you have a smp kernel installed if not install one the default kernel should be smp
[01:29] <sobersabre> Curs0r: do you have a supported iscsi controller ?
[01:29] <TUXedomember> what's a different program for editing and making web site's?
[01:29] <salvator2> Does my name same salvator2 or cooper?
[01:29] <Curs0r> sobersabre the entire point of gpxe is that hba is not required
[01:29] <sobersabre> TUXedomember: usually you only need a text editor.....
[01:29] <mjancaitis> kitche: uname -a says "uname -a: Linux janc-laptop 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Aug 30 23:16:15 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux"... it's got SMP in the name, so I think it's installed
[01:29] <heguru> TUXedomember: bluefish
[01:30] <TUXedomember> ok how can i install bluefish?
[01:30] <mboldisc> TUXedomember: Quanta Plus
[01:30] <sobersabre> Curs0r: I have no idea, then maybe it should work out of the box.
[01:30] <sobersabre> Curs0r: why not simply try ?
[01:30] <heguru> TUXedomember: System -> Administration -> Synaptic
[01:30] <Curs0r> sobersabre oh, gee, that hadn't occurred to me :P anyone got any helpful input?
[01:30] <kitche> mjancaitis, yep you have a smp kernell so your system should eb seeing two cores
[01:31] <mjancaitis> And yet it doesn't :(
[01:31] <sobersabre> Curs0r: are you considering to purchase iSCSI hardware and want to know if it works ?
[01:31] <Inox> hey fellas  ihave php and pear already installed, i modify php.ini in order to tell php where to find pear's libraries, but my site doesn't start, apache is working, and postgresql too, so is there anything I haven't done well?
[01:31] <mjancaitis> OH wait
[01:31] <kitche> mjancaitis, pastebin your cat /proc/cpuinfo for me
[01:31] <jackfusion> Jordan_U: I am trying to run xampp from my ipod like in running xampp from a usb drive in linux and run the windows version from the ipod as well as in running from usb so that I can run a web site when running xampp with out the restriction for the os
[01:31] <soundray> mjancaitis: two possibilities: your BIOS may disable one core, or your CPU is really only single core.
[01:31] <DARKGuy> hey could any bash guru help me in trying to run " audacious -e "file" " for each occurrence in "find -iname "*.mp3" -type f" ? :(
[01:31] <Curs0r> sobersabre if I had to purchase n hba adapter I wouldn't bother
[01:32] <Inox> I mean in ubuntu?
[01:32] <sobersabre> Curs0r: I don't understand you....
[01:32] <sobersabre> what do you want ? :)
[01:32] <DARKGuy> actually, it's "audacious -e "file" && killall audacious" so it enqueues each file :p
[01:32] <sobersabre> to ask how is the weather ?
[01:32] <sobersabre> :)
[01:32] <dstadulis> fujin_: Thanks for your help I got it working
[01:32] <contradiction-pi> hello, a while ago i installed feisty and my built in sd card reader worked out of the box. then, i reinstalled it and it stopped working. is there some package which is now *not* automatically installed?
[01:32] <mjancaitis> kitche and soundray: I just realized my grub tags have "nosmp" in them, could that be screwing my ability to see two cores?
[01:32] <Curs0r> sobersabre http://etherboot.org/wiki/iscsiboot?DokuWiki=ba9bad453469934e8268f2f79c412727
[01:32] <soundray> DARKGuy: I don't claim that title, but try 'find . -iname *mp3 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 audacious -e'
[01:33] <soundray> mjancaitis: very possible
[01:33] <mjancaitis> kitche: I think I stuck them in there because I saw it somewhere to get the thing to boot at all... I think I'll try taking it out
[01:33] <Curs0r> sobersabre I'm trying to find out if anyone has succeeded with that method or something similar
[01:33] <DARKGuy> soundray, hey that did it!!! :D thanks a LOT guru :P :P :P
[01:33] <monkeyBox> Hi all. What do I do if ubuntu doesn't have a kernel module I need?  I'm trying to modprobe pca9540 and it says: "FATAL: Module pca9540 not found."
[01:34] <XiXaQ> (hd1,0) is sdb1?
[01:34] <heguru> DARKGuy: for f in `find -iname "*.mp3" -type f`; do audacious -e $f; done
[01:34] <DARKGuy> lol
[01:34] <sobersabre> Curs0r: well, the writer of this article seems a nice guy.
[01:34] <sobersabre> how about this general article: http://www.cuddletech.com/articles/iscsi/index.html
[01:34] <soundray> heguru: mine's better :)
[01:35] <sobersabre> found it with GooglE
[01:35] <mjancaitis> kitche: ps, here's cpuinfo for you; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38404/
[01:35] <DARKGuy> heguru, that would work too, but I tried to run that and it only ran audacious once, so I had to close it so it enqueued the next one x)

[01:38] <soundray> aleka: see if the launcher logs an error to $HOME/.xsession-errors
[01:38] <Jordan_U> jackfusion, ./configure --prefix , you should find a guide for compiling from source ( I assume that is what you are doing )

[01:41] <Inox> thanks
[01:41] <Armor_Azrael> Hey, I've got a multi (8) core system, and 6 of the cores are locked up.
[01:42] <Armor_Azrael> I can fix the problem by rebooting, but I'd like to figure out what's locking them.
[01:42] <Fluffy-Wuffy> no Jordan_U
[01:42] <Armor_Azrael> Is there a way to find out what job is running on each cpu?
[01:42] <skyfaller> I'm having trouble loading the alsa driver with modprobe... anyone got ideas?
[01:42] <Armor_Azrael> (htop/top reveals that no job is using much cpu, so they're being locked on IO)
[01:42] <Fluffy-Wuffy> i would have gladly copied the video to my windows partition and watched it on there but Ubuntu doesnt support that
[01:43] <jackfusion> Jordan_U: nope from the website says to extract the file to the /opt/ then type /opt/lampp/lampp start to start the server.  But in the files I want to change ever instance of /opt/ to /media/IPOD/ so the server will run from my ipod.
[01:43] <Buffalo960>  Hello, I am having trouble with my sound on ubuntu feisty. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-KVM800M and the sound card it integrated(I belive it is a realtek). It does not show up in the hardware list.
[01:43] <jackfusion>  Jordan_U: instead of running from /opt/
[01:44] <Jordan_U> jackfusion, You may need to compile from source, and even if you don't need to compiling from source will almost definitely work
[01:44] <Jordan_U> Buffalo960, What is the output of "asoundconf list" ?
[01:45] <jackfusion> Jordan_U: but the site dose not give the source download.
[01:46] <Paul_3939> join FAQ
[01:46] <Meroigo_> I made a link in nautilus to a folder, if I delete the link by pressing shift+delete on it, the contents of the folder wont be deleted right?
[01:47] <skyfaller> Jordan_U: ooh, are you knowledgeable about ALSA?  can you help me with the directions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProSantaRosa ? I'm stuck with errors
[01:47] <Jordan_U> jackfusion, Well, I guess since the point of XAMPP is to make installation easier compiling from source would defeat the purpose
[01:47] <Jordan_U> skyfaller, I have been looking
[01:47] <Jordan_U> skyfaller, Can you give specific errors?
[01:48] <skyfaller> Jordan_U: OK, thanks :)  I just asked in #alsa too
[01:48] <skyfaller> Jordan_U: lemme get a pastebin link up
[01:48] <Buffalo960> Jordan_U, I do not know exactly what I am looking for, could i possible send you the entire asoundconf in private chat?
[01:49] <Ben_Cs> hey guys
[01:49] <Flannel> jackfusion: Why XAMPP?  Why not just use a LAMP stack?  It's super easy to setup.
[01:49] <skyfaller> Jordan_U: maybe you could join me in #alsa? :)
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Buffalo960, Use pastebin
[01:49] <Ben_Cs> hear something funny, iTunes on WinXP has bug that gtkpod on Linux doesn't :) LOL   Linux beats apple?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Buffalo960, But "asoundconf list" should be at most two lines
[01:50] <jackfusion> oh because it runs under windows as well

[01:51] <redstinger> Wow
[01:51] <fiXXXerMet> My swap device should be listed when I do df or mount, right?  Because I don't see it there.
[01:51] <osmosis> Im having a problem with the update-grub script. There is no place in my menu.lst file to configure console options on the initrd line.
[01:51] <soundray> Thanks PriceChild, Amaranth
[01:52] <fujin_> no, you shouldn't see your swap device mounted with mount or df
[01:52] <Jordan_U> Buffalo960, Ok, so it sees a sound card at least, do you see track when you run "alsamixer" ?
[01:52] <fujin_> swapon -s will tell you
[01:52] <fujin_> cat /proc/swaps, also
[01:52] <salvator2> When you clear cookies, history ect. via mozilla on ubuntu, is it like windows and sitll archives everything that you do?

[01:52] <Jordan_U> osmosis, What are you trying to do exactly?
[01:52] <aleka> how can I disable the taskbar?
[01:53] <osmosis> Jordan_U: you know how ubuntu does that whole auto setup of the grub menu.lst file ?
[01:53] <soundray> aleka: right-click, remove from panel
[01:53] <osmosis> Jordan_U:  so this line in menu.lst   # defoptions=quiet serial console=ttyS0,19200n8
[01:53] <osmosis> Jordan_U: sets my serial console.
[01:53] <aleka> soundray:  and if I want it at a later point? where do I go in the menues to bring the task bar back?
[01:54] <redstinger> I need help on installing Wine. I'm new to Ubuntu
[01:54] <soundray> aleka: right click on the panel, select Add to Panel
[01:54] <Jordan_U> salvator2, I don't know but if you are paranoid you can just delete .mozilla in your home folder and guarentee it's all gone
[01:54] <osmosis> Jordan_U: only problem is...those options need to be in the initrd line to work, and update-grub  doesn't put them there. It only puts them on the kernel line.
[01:54] <soundray> aleka: it's called Window List applet
[01:54] <Buffalo960> Jordan_U, Yes I do, it also recognizes the chip Realtek ALC655
[01:54] <aleka> soundray:  Thanks :)
[01:55] <Jordan_U> osmosis, I assume you have checked man update-grub to see if there is more syntax available?

[01:59] <mabo> ahh ok
[01:59] <mabo> let me see
[01:59] <soundray> LOrENz: can you rephrase that question
[01:59] <bruenig> LOrENz, explain what you mean, do you mean a word in many text files in different directories, or renaming directories or what
[01:59] <disposition> i have my hd partition into two drives (sda and sda2) and somehow 15 gigs from sda2 are stored in sda somehow
[01:59] <LOrENz> yes
[01:59] <bruenig> yes is not a suitable response to that question
[01:59] <jackfusion> Can some one help me with my error XAMPP: - Fatal: unable to read configureation file '/opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.cof' : No such file or directory

[02:00] <bruenig> oh perhaps
[02:00] <disposition> when i do disk usage analyzer, it's saying that it's 100% full and that my mounted partition is only 16.2gb, when it's not
[02:01] <disposition> anyone have any ideas?
[02:01] <LOrENz> <bruenig changing like color=red by color=blue in many different files in many directories
[02:01] <soundray> disposition: ignore it then and use df -h

[02:01] <disposition> it's saying sda1 is 17gg, and 16g are in use
[02:02] <busta811> how do i turn on autotuning?
[02:02] <bruenig> LOrENz, there are a few ways to do it, if there is some parent directory that you can cd into, you can just do: find . -type f -exec sed 's/color=red/color=blue/g' -i '{}' \;
[02:02] <disposition> i don't know how 16g are being used when i just installed 2 days ago and did mostly apt-gets
[02:02] <eugman> Is there a way to make a files in openoffice to have a footer on all pages except the first one?
[02:02] <soundray> LOrENz: 'find /var/www -name *.php -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i '/color\=red/color\=blue/g'
[02:02] <bruenig> LOrENz, after cding into the parent directory of course
[02:02] <macd> busta811, you mean to tell me you want to turn it back on, after you turned it off against everyones recommendations yesterday.
[02:02] <bruenig> = needs to be escaped?
[02:03] <LOrENz> thanks !!
[02:03] <busta811> no i want to see the difference lol
[02:03] <disposition> i think what i has done is put 16.2gb of my mounted partition into my sda1
[02:03] <busta811> but i forgot how to do it
[02:03] <disposition> which doesn't make sense to me
[02:03] <LOrENz> you guys are powerfull :)
[02:03] <soundray> bruenig: I don't know, if in doubt I escape ;)
[02:03] <sethk> disposition, you think that apt-get doesn't write to the disk?
[02:03] <bruenig> well sed escape rules are different from ls escape rules and others
[02:04] <disposition> i don't think that apt-get takes up 16gb
[02:04] <salvator2> what is the default password for root?
[02:04] <bruenig> !root | salvator2
[02:04] <ubotu> salvator2: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:04] <kitche> salvator2, there isn't one
[02:04] <punsad> salvator2: there isn't one

[02:04] <disposition> could it be because i mounted my partition to /media/disponia instead of mnt/disponia?
[02:04] <sethk> salvator2, the default password for root is one that cannot be entered with the keyboard
[02:05] <bruenig> if you unlock it, is there actually a password there?
[02:05] <tico1> hey guysss how are u
[02:05] <bruenig> or do they fiddle with the passwd file to make it so you can't ever get it even when unlocked
[02:05] <Jordan_U> salvator2, There is no default password for root
[02:05] <Buffalo960> Jordan_U, I unmuted everything and still no sound.
[02:05] <TUXedomember> is the a graphical web design program for ubuntu be side's kompozer
[02:05] <kitche> bruenig, it's probbaly makes it empty
[02:06] <Jordan_U> !root | salvator2
[02:06] <ubotu> salvator2: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:06] <bruenig> so unlock it, then do su, and the password is nothing?
[02:06] <tico1> salvator2: try $ sudo su
[02:06] <Armor_Azrael> bruenig: It makes it empty to enable people to use the other init level without needing a root password
[02:06] <sethk> disposition, mount points generally do not consume space.  The programs that show you free and used space on a partition are not broken by mounts
[02:06] <tico1> salvator2: then set a new passwork
[02:06] <Armor_Azrael> So you can boot up to single user mode
[02:06] <kitche> bruenig, well su likes a password
[02:06] <tico1> salvator2: password**
[02:06] <bruenig> kitche, no but I mean just pressing enter
[02:06] <macd> busta811, 'sudo netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=enabled' then reboot.
[02:06] <soundray> tico1: please don't recommend setting a password in ubuntu. It's not designed for that (tico1)
[02:06] <salvator2> Ok, i'll try them all
[02:06] <salvator2> or not...
[02:06] <sethk> bruenig, there is a facility built into unix, which linux has emulated, to create a password that cannot be entered via the keyboard
[02:06] <busta811> k ty
[02:07] <macd> busta811, disregard that
[02:07] <Jla4ko> how to make auto addme script via ssh
[02:07] <sethk> bruenig, however, you can easily change the root password
[02:07] <disposition> sethk, why would it be that 16.2gb on a 17gb fresh partition are immediately taken up? it says that all the usage is coming from /media/disponia but that's my mount point
[02:07] <acee1234> im trying to use audacity to edit some audio but i get an error whenever i try to playback something reading "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate."
[02:07] <tico1> soundray:why?
[02:07] <acee1234> any ideas
[02:07] <sethk> disposition, try running   "df -h" from the command line, and paste the results.
[02:07] <soundray> tico1: and please don't recommend sudo su either - it gets you an environment that consists of mixed root and user variables.
[02:07] <busta811> its not like that?
[02:08] <princez_cutez> biar ga suntuk makan apa yak?
[02:08] <Buffalo960> Jordan_U, I unmuted everything and still no sound. Do you have any other ideas?
[02:08] <Man_id_Unknown> Help: How do I strip unnecessary symbols from a shared library I created with gcc??
[02:08] <soundray> tico1: in ubuntu, you use sudo to change system settings. It's a safer approach. Details on the help pages.
[02:08] <sethk> tico1, sudo su makes little sense.  would you do  sudo sudo?  sudo su is actually worse than that, as someone just said.
[02:08] <soundray> !sudo > tico1
[02:08] <tico1> soundray: but I still use without problem.... since soo long time ago!

[02:09] <bruenig> sudo su is no problem
[02:09] <dale> I have a really simple question.. i don't know where to navigate to when I hit browse to change my default media player to VLC
[02:09] <Jordan_U> sethk, In what way "cannot be entered via keyboard"? Like using char 8? I thought it was a configured so there was no password, so init levels / single user mode / setUID were the only way of getting root privileges
[02:09] <acee1234> any ideas atol?
[02:10] <bruenig> if you su as root, it spawns another root shell
[02:10] <tret> how do you shut down pppd
[02:10] <sethk> Jordan_U, no, that's not correct.  The configuration, with respect to root, is _precisely_ the same as every other linux distribution.  There is a myth floating around that root is "disabled", which is nonsense.
[02:10] <busta811> macd isnt that comand for vista lol?
[02:10] <busta811> it said command not found
[02:10] <macd> busta811, give me a second to ggrep your log for yesterday to find it
[02:10] <soundray> bruenig: it's still a mixed environment. sudo su - is probably better, but why not stick to the sane sudo -i
[02:10] <busta811> ok
[02:10] <macd> busta811, yeah it wasnt meant for here
[02:11] <dale> I have a really simple question.. i don't know where to navigate to when I hit browse to change my default media player to VLC
[02:11] <alex-weej> this set is fucking lush!
[02:11] <Wolfsong> i know there is something in the documentation for this but need a lil help finding it again
[02:11] <Jordan_U> sethk, I am not saying that it is not, I understand that root still exists, and that it is nothing Ubuntu specific
[02:11] <Wolfsong> i'm getting a black screen after enabling restricted drivers
[02:11] <Man_id_Unknown> Help: How do I strip unnecessary symbols from a shared library I created with gcc??
[02:11] <busta811> i remember is sumthing like 1 is enabled and 0 is disabled
[02:12] <Wolfsong> anyone know how to resolve?
[02:12] <Armor_Azrael> Man_id_Unknown: See man strip
[02:12] <soundray> sethk: well, the correct expression is probably "locked" - as in the effect of running passwd -l
[02:12] <Man_id_Unknown> Yes, I have. I tried --strip-all, but all the symbols are still there!
[02:12] <Jordan_U> sethk, Just that you saying that it is a password that "cannot be entered via keyboard" implies that there is a way of escalating privileges to root with a password, which I thought was not possible in any way
[02:12] <Man_id_Unknown> Armor_Azrael: Can I explain the situation a bit more?
[02:12] <sethk> soundray, that's correct.  From the man page:  "The -l option disables an account by changing the password to a value which matches no possible encrypted value."
[02:13] <Jordan_U> sethk, That is unless you change the password of course
[02:13] <macd> busta811, the command is  echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_moderate_rcvbuf
[02:13] <Man_id_Unknown> Armor_Azrael: When creating the shared lib, I linked to another static library. The static libraries proc names are being listed inside the shared lib. I don't want this.
[02:13] <sethk> Jordan_U, right, you have to change the password, so that you can type the password and it will be recognized.
[02:15] <Armor_Azrael> Man_id_Unknown: Try strip --strip-unneeded, it might do what you want
[02:15] <acee1234> if noone here knows where i can get help any ideas were i should go?
[02:15] <Man_id_Unknown> Armore_Azrael: I'll try.
[02:16] <laptap16> is pegwole idle?
[02:16] <laptap16> nvm
[02:16] <Man_id_Unknown> Armor_Azrael: Tried it. It didn't work.

[02:17] <Jordan_U> sethk, I understand that, so when you said "there is a facility built into unix, which linux has emulated, to create a password that cannot be entered via the keyboard" were you simply being imprecise or am I still not understanding.

[02:18] <fiXXXerMet> My computer currently has two SATA drives in a RAID1 at /dev/md0 and that's what is mounted as root.  I'd like to add two PATA drives to the system and make them /dev/md1.  Problem is that when I add the two drives to the computer, GRUB gives an error - I guess the two drives are changing the boot order or something?  How can I fix this?
[02:18] <panosru> no one help me? :(
[02:18] <Jordan_U> sethk, To be clear I understand that you are referring to passwd -d
[02:18] <EvilAIM> Hey, question.  I changed the system pass, but now I don't know what it is...
[02:18] <osmosis> Jordan_U: I was attempting with a load a Xen kernel, and that one has ttySx turned off because I think xen uses its own serial port emulation for controlling terminals.
[02:18] <salvator2> anybody know how to view your buddy list on aim with gaim?
[02:18] <EvilAIM> anyone have ANY CLUE how to regain it whilst the system is still on...
[02:18] <acee1234> soundry i dont have those menues
[02:19] <soundray> acee1234: kubuntu doesn't use esd as far as I know... is it artsd? There must be some sound preference panel in KDE, too
[02:19] <Jordan_U> EvilAIM, You mean without rebooting?
[02:19] <EvilAIM> ya
[02:19] <EvilAIM> well, I don't wanna reboot...
[02:19] <disposition> sethk, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38405/
[02:19] <EvilAIM> because then I don't have a computer;)
[02:19] <acee1234> soundry there is but id doesnt say anything about artsd or anything like it
[02:19] <abhishek> can someone help me with fixing xgl, it gives me a garbled screen when i log into it
[02:19] <mikebot> Anyone know why I'm unable to extract files from a rar? THe file is (should be) complete, and no files get extracted when I ateempt to.
[02:19] <wastrel> EvilAIM: you fix it by rebooting
[02:20] <Jordan_U> EvilAIM, Not sure I understand... Did you change the root password or your user's password?
[02:20] <wastrel> mikebot: what are you doing to extrat it
[02:20] <Jordan_U> EvilAIM, If you changed the root password you should still be able to use sudo
[02:20] <soundray> acee1234: see if you have artsd running: 'ps ax | grep artsd' in konsole
[02:20] <mikebot> wasabi: First I tried the file archiver, then I tried 7zip
[02:20] <wastrel> mikebot: unrar
[02:20] <mikebot> wasabi: what is that?
[02:21] <mikebot> wastrel: ***
[02:21] <Jordan_U> EvilAIM, If you changed your user's password then you need to reboot into single user mode and change it
[02:21] <wastrel> it's a program to extract rar archives.  it's in multiverse.  enable multiverse and install unrar
[02:21] <EvilAIM> I'm using Phoenix...
[02:21] <EvilAIM> thats my account
[02:21] <wastrel> !info unrar
[02:21] <ubotu> unrar: Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.3-1 (feisty), package size 94 kB, installed size 228 kB
[02:21] <EvilAIM> it has root access...
[02:21] <EvilAIM> and I don't know the pass
[02:21] <EvilAIM> like, when I do sudo blah...
[02:21] <EvilAIM> it asks for a password, and I don't know it anymore
[02:21] <acee1234> soundry "31964 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep artsd"
[02:21] <wastrel> EvilAIM: you reboot into recovery mode  type  passwd <userid>
[02:21] <wastrel> then reboot back to normal mode
[02:21] <Jordan_U> EvilAIM, reboot into single user mode and change your password
[02:22] <EvilAIM> ummm
[02:22] <EvilAIM> how do I boot into recovery?
[02:22] <mikebot> wastrel: OK, but, I haven't had this problem before with other rars.
[02:22] <soundray> acee1234: it's not running then. Sorry, I don't know what could be blocking your audio device.
[02:22] <Jordan_U> EvilAIM, Press escape when grub is loading, you will see the option
[02:22] <fiXXXerMet> Anyone?  When I add new drives (pata) to my system, grub errors while trying to boot /dev/md0, which is two sata's in a raid1.
[02:22] <osmosis> now my only issue left is...grub msgs are going to the serial port now, but it fails to print them to the vga screen also. tty1  I guess that would be.
[02:22] <wastrel> EvilAIM: hit esc when you see the grub line at the top of the screen while you're booting
[02:22] <w0lt-_> Anyone have any suggestions for a PCI-Express x1 video card ?
[02:22] <Jordan_U> EvilAIM, BTW, recovery mode == single user mode
[02:22] <wastrel> EvilAIM: then use the arrow keys to choose the recovery mode
[02:22] <soundray> acee1234: repeat your question. If you don't get a reply, it's okay to repeat it after 10 or 15 minutes.
[02:22] <acee1234> ok
[02:23] <mikebot> wastrel: How do I use unrar?
[02:23] <acee1234> im trying to use audacity to edit some audio but i get an error whenever i try to playback something reading "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate."
[02:23] <wastrel> mikebot: unrar e filename.rar
[02:23] <laptap16> does anyone have time to help me setup my wireless internet?
[02:23] <EvilAIM> AHAHa
[02:23] <wastrel> the e is for extract
[02:23] <Jordan_U> acee1234, Is audacity set to use ALSA?
[02:23] <EvilAIM> I remebered it
[02:23] <EvilAIM> peeeeeeeeeeeeyaw!
[02:23] <EvilAIM> *changes it back*
[02:23] <EvilAIM> lol
[02:24] <mikebot> wastrel: Thanks, let me give that a shot real quick.
[02:24] <EvilAIM> thanks for your help.
[02:24] <abhishek> can someone help me with fixing xgl, it gives me a garbled screen when i log into it
[02:24] <soundray> laptap16: no. Read the help page and ask specific questions if you get stuck:

[02:24] <acee1234> jordan how do i look?
[02:24] <Jordan_U> abhishek, What Graphics card?
[02:24] <laptap16> soundray: i have someone helpin me thanks a lot though
[02:24] <Max_-> How can I know my web IP? If i try with ifconfig it only gives me the 192.168.x.x address.. now I need the one which is seen by this IRC server, for example.
[02:24] <punzada> Quick question: After a bad lock up I was forced to hard boot and run fsck as root to repair the problems, after doing that I now have two copies of my external HDD (usb2.0) listed on both my desktop and 'places'
[02:24] <abhishek> Jordan_U, x2300
[02:24] <punzada> anyone know how I can bring that back to just one?
[02:25] <dale> one last attempt...I can't find this info and I know it's going to be dead simple for someone to tell me...where do I navigate to to change my default player of a file type to VLC.. I've gone through all the folders and can't find the right file.
[02:25] <abhishek> Jordan_U, ATI x2300 mobility radeon
[02:25] <dale> that's when I click "browse"
[02:25] <Jordan_U> acee1234, Preferences -> Audio IO
[02:25] <mikebot> wastrel: Yikes, I think it's certainly working, though in the rar were like 12 folders each with its own files, yet it just extracted all the files into one big folder.
[02:25] <AzMoo[w] > hey, does anybody know how I can restrict ssh login access to my local network?
[02:25] <mikebot> Any way to fix that?
[02:25] <dale> sorry if my problem is not very difficult.
[02:25] <acee1234> jordan yes its ALSA
[02:25] <dale> it's plenty hard for me.
[02:26] <gregshallard> How do I change my proxy settings through terminal?
[02:26] <wastrel> mikebot: sorry dunno, maybe check the unrar man page
 set http_proxy=http://ip_addr:port
[02:26] <mikebot> wastrel: K, thanks for the help.
[02:26] <mikebot> Bye.
[02:26] <disgen> export http_proxy
[02:26] <acee1234> jordan got it thanks
[02:27] <acee1234> jordan working perfectly
[02:27] <gregshallard> disgen what about authentication?
[02:27] <capo> ive got compiz fusion working but i cant get to ccsm in xubuntu, and i cant apt-get it.  can anyone help me?
[02:27] <w0lt-_> Is the x2300 PCI x1 or X16?   In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.2+git20070912-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 498 kB, installed size 3268 kB
[02:27] <Xero> !info compizconfig-settings-manager
[02:28] <ubotu> Package compizconfig-settings-manager does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:28] <astro76> AzMoo[w] , do you have a router?
[02:28] <Jordan_U> Xero, ccsm
[02:28] <Xero> That's why.
[02:28] <NemesisD> does anyone know of any shell commands to find my external ip (the ip of my router?)
[02:28] <Xero> Jordan_U, ccsm = compizconfig-settings-manager
[02:28] <gregshallard> disgen, what about authentication?
[02:28] <Jordan_U> Xero, Yes
[02:28] <capo> Xero: ya, i tried it already.  here's the error message. "E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager
[02:28] <capo> "
[02:28] <disgen> My Google Earth hangs when is launched. Any suggestion?
[02:28] <AzMoo[w] > astro76: I have lots of routers.
[02:28] <soundray> nemesisD: no, but you can find out via a web service like whatismyip.com
[02:29] <Xero> capo: It isn't in feisty.
[02:29] <Xero> Either upgrade to Gutsy or download and compile source code.
[02:29] <Jordan_U> Xero, capo Are you trying to run Compiz or Compiz Fusion?
[02:29] <Xero> capo is trying to run Fusion.
[02:29] <NemesisD> soundray, im trying to make a shell script to write it to a file but i was trying to avoid getting into the whole CURL thing
[02:29] <capo> Compiz Fusion
[02:29] <astro76> AzMoo[w] , well if you're using one of them, then if you don't forward a port to an ssh server, no one can login, otherwise here... http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/87
[02:29] <gregshallard> I got compiz fusion working in Feisty...
[02:29] <Xero> gregshallard, what repo/source did you use?
[02:30] <capo> it's working in feisty, ive got shaky windows and what not, i just cant get to ccsm
[02:30] <AzMoo[w] > astro76: cheers.
[02:30] <Jordan_U> Xero, capo Compiz Fusion is available for Feisty from 3rd party repos, but it is not stable
[02:30] <gregshallard> Ill look.
[02:30] <Xero> Jordan_U, I already have it. I run Gutsy.
[02:30] <Xero> I'm just helping capo.
[02:30] <capo> it works great in Ubuntu, but im having trouble getting to ccsm in Xubuntu
[02:30] <Jordan_U> Xero, Does capo want Compiz Fusion? It doesn't sound like he does
 there are two other variables to set: proxy_user and proxy_passwd
[02:30] <Xero> Jordan_U, yes.
[02:31] <Xero> He does.
[02:31] <disgen> take a look at google
[02:31] <soundray> NemesisD: if your router supports ssh, you can probably extract the external IP via a one-line shell command
[02:31] <Cryoniq> oboy oboy... I can hardly wait untill Gutsy is released sharp.. :P
[02:31] <Jordan_U> Xero, "it works great in Ubuntu, but im having trouble getting to ccsm in Xubuntu" makes me think he just wants regular compiz preferences, not Compiz Fusion
[02:32] <Xero> Jordan_U, he said "Compiz Fusion" multiple times.
[02:32] <soundray> NemesisD: is using DynDNS or a similar service an option?
[02:32] <Jordan_U> capo, What do you have installed right now, compiz, or compiz fusion?
[02:32] <gregshallard> Xero, I'm just looking now.
[02:33] <atrus> i'm not sure why, but recently all video players when outputting to XV have garbled over-saturated colors. No clue where to start looking to investigate
[02:33] <capo> compiz fusion
[02:33] <NemesisD> soundray, im not sure what that is, i'm starting to thing this script idea isn't really useful, my ip rarely changes
[02:33] <Xero> gregshallard, it's probably Amaranth's repo.
[02:33] <Jordan_U> capo, How did you install it?
[02:33] <gregshallard> Xero, I think it might of been.
[02:33] <CyberCod> anyone in here mess with 64bit processors?
[02:33] <Jordan_U> capo, And what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:33] <soundray> NemesisD: have a look at the ez-ipuodate package and www.dyndns.com
[02:33] <Wolfsong> anyone familiar with a bug that causes nvidia to default to the external monitor?
[02:34] <Jordan_U> !anyone | CyberCod

[02:34] <CyberCod> well, what I need to know, is does one HAVE TO install a 64bit version of an operating system when the PC has a 64 bit capable processor?
[02:35] <mat1> hello
[02:35] <soundray> CyberCod: no
[02:35] <CyberCod> so they will run fine with regular Ubuntu?
[02:35] <CyberCod> no issues?
[02:35] <icus> I seem to be missing lots of things in synaptec (eg. ndisgtk) and every time I check updates it says gzip returns an error.  I have all the repositories checked.  any thoughts?
[02:35] <soundray> CyberCod: yes. You'll have fewer problems with 32bits even.
[02:36] <mat1> can someone tell my why the 6.10 live cd works but the 7.04 or 7.10 live cds dont work
[02:36] <mat1> on my computer
[02:36] <capo> Jordan_U: i also used this guide: http://tinyurl.com/3df4z9
[02:36] <soundray> mat1: maybe if you disclose a little more information about the failure mode?
[02:37] <zenmonk> how do you run a gcc program you created?  I have already chmodded it.
[02:37] <mat1> well when i try to use a live cd for 7.04 or newer it says loading linux kernal
[02:37] <mat1> and just stays there
[02:37] <soundray> zenmonk: if it's not on the path, enter the full pathname. Or try './yourprogram' if it's in the present working directory
[02:38] <soundray> mat1: how long have you waited?
[02:38] <zenmonk> soundray: thats it.  Do you know what a segmentation fault is?
[02:38] <mat1> quite a long time
[02:39] <mat1> 30 minutes at most
[02:39] <mat1> but the 6.10 cd works fine
[02:39] <soundray> zenmonk: it's what is called a general protection fault in Windows. A program trying to access memory ranges that it's not allowed to access.
[02:39] <mat1> just the newer versions that dont load
[02:39] <zenmonk> hmm
[02:40] <jerbear> is there any way to make make-ssl-cert use a different expiration date? it defaults to like 2 or 3 months from the time you create it
[02:40] <Xero> Wow. Linux has GPF's?
[02:41] <soundray> Xero: every OS that has protected memory has a failure mode for programs that step over the boundaries.
[02:41] <soundray> Xero: Linux handles those much more gracefully, of course.
[02:41] <vulcanius> anyone know of any software for doing things like tree hierarchies and such?
[02:41] <danyn> hi room
[02:42] <soundray> mat1: do you get the initial live CD menu?
[02:42] <danyn> mat1 left
[02:43] <savetheWorld> vulcanius: could you clarify what trees and what you want to do with them?
[02:44] <vulcanius> various trees i want to visualize, python structures, interfaces designs, etc.
[02:45] <capo> are there codecs i need to install for xubuntu to play ogg vorbis?  amarok wont add my music to the library for some reason
[02:45] <Flats> hello.  Is there anything I have to do to be able to ping a windows device on the same network from Ubuntu via hostname rather than IP?
[02:45] <osmosis> Where are system shutdown msgs configured?
[02:46] <Flats> I can ping IP but not hostname
[02:46] <capo> alright, never mind
[02:46] <TUXedomember> what's a graphical web page editor?????????????????????????????
[02:46] <soundray> Flats: add the ip and hostname to /etc/hosts
[02:46] <macd> Flats, does 'host hostname' show the hosts IP ?
[02:46] <Armor_Azrael> Flats: If you've got a DNS server serving the hostname, or if you've got its IP and hostname in your /etc/hosts, you're fine

[02:48] <TUXedomember> i know i can't get it to work
[02:49] <danyn> TUXedomember>are you having problems installing it?
[02:49] <macd> icus, most likely no, does the same thing happen when you try at a terminal? 'sudo apt-get update'
[02:49] <TUXedomember> hang on
[02:49] <ShiftyPowers> how can i test if i'm running my nvidia driver properly?
[02:49] <ShiftyPowers> glxgears?

[02:49] <icus> yeah, that's where I got that message
[02:49] <macd> icus, also, I assume you have internet connectivity right?
[02:49] <soundray> icus: no. Like macd says, it's probably a server side problem, so try again in a short while, or switch to the Canadian repos.

[02:50] <danyn> TUXedomember>what exactly is your problem, installation or something else?
[02:50] <Elda> meh
[02:50] <panosru> astro76, i know messengers i'm just asking which is the best

[02:52] <astro76> he asked for editors
[02:52] <TUXedomember> ok that didn't help much
[02:52] <astro76> there's 4
[02:52] <danyn> no, he's having trouble with publishing
[02:52] <Anisotropo> hi
[02:53] <salvator1> Anybody know how I can get that cube that shows different workspaces and all those cool effects?
[02:53] <capo> what's the default media player for ubuntu?
[02:53] <panosru> well, which one you advise me to use? I'm from windows world and i like WLM a lot for many things and espesialy because Messenger Plus Live plug-in so can i find something similar? (thanks in advice)
[02:53] <macd> TUXedomember, do you have the proper publish settings? i.e. your FTP location?
[02:53] <danyn> TUX>im sorry but i dont have much experience with nVu, are you using some sort of built in ftp transfer?
[02:53] <danyn> yea what macd said :)
[02:54] <Wolfsong> i'm booting to a blank screen after enabling restricted nvidia drivers...any suggestions? i know it's related to output to the external display just can't remember where i found the fix
[02:54] <hbcm> i'm experiencing ttechnical difficulties
[02:54] <TUXedomember> i don't have a ftp publishing place but a https://
[02:55] <hbcm> are you using fiesty wolf?
[02:56] <Wolfsong> hbcm: yes
[02:56] <danyn> TUX>https has nothing to do with ftp, it just means that its a secure http connection
[02:56] <hbcm> and you can't remember the web page
[02:56] <hbcm> >
[02:56] <hbcm> ?
[02:56] <salvator1> would Beryl be a good idea for a new user?
[02:57] <TUXedomember> well then i don't know what the publishing ftp is
[02:57] <Wolfsong> i thought it was in linked in the user docs but it isn't...there's a bug somewhere in launchpad...just haven't found it yet
[02:57] <danyn> salvator1>its pretty easy to use, and i got it running within minutes, so i would say its ok for a new user
[02:58] <danyn> TUX>so how did you normally get your website updated?
[02:58] <macd> TUXedomember, so you publish via webdav, did you set KompoZer to publish via webdav?
[02:58] <hbcm> i think its under https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video wolfsong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video
[02:58] <TUXedomember> umm no, i'm new to web design so...
[02:59] <macd> TUXedomember, well, I suggest you read the documentation on kompozer before trying to publish with it, if you dont have it setup to publish how do you expect it to automagically work?
[02:59] <danyn> TUX> where is your website hosted? on a private server, or on a site hosting server?
[02:59] <TUXedomember> it's on comcast.
[02:59] <Unununium> Hello, helping my brother set up 32-bit Firefox on his AMD64 laptop, so I'm reading FirefoxAMD64FlashJava.  But the "MPlayer plugins" link is bad.  Any advice?
[03:00] <Unununium> TUX> what is your quest?
[03:00] <TUXedomember> ?
[03:00] <danyn> TUX> hold on a sec while i look at comcast's web hosting site
[03:00] <Unununium> Someone should teach him that one :^)
[03:00] <macd> TUXedomember, and how did comcast tell you to copy your website to their hosting location?
[03:00] <jrib> Unununium: well my advice would be to install 32bit ubuntu
[03:01] <Unununium> We already have a working 32-bit Firefox set up with several plugins, just not mplayer
[03:01] <Red-Sox> For some reason, when I change the volume in ubuntu, nothing happens, even when I mute it!
[03:01] <xIke> this is a hell of a longshot, but anyone have any idea how to get america's army working in ubuntu?
[03:01] <TUXedomember> i used front page for my personal page but for a different page and site i'm publishing with kompozer so i don't know
[03:01] <jrib> Unununium: sure, but everything "just works" on 32bit ubuntu
[03:01] <Unununium> I know, I know, but a 64-bit installation DVD is what he has
[03:02] <macd> TUXedomember, well step 1 for you is to contact comcast and find out how you can publish, via ftp, webdav, os some other method, then configure kompozer to publish via that method
[03:02] <Unununium> And he's a couple hundred miles away from me so I can't physically hand him something else
[03:02] <macd> TUXedomember, and according to the kompozer documentation: "NVU and KompoZer are not capable of anything other than standard ftp. If you need something different, you will have to Save your work to a local file, and then use some other product to upload it to the server."
[03:02] <TUXedomember> ok thnx
[03:03] <danyn> TUX>also try contacting comcast and asking how you can upload html directly to the server
[03:03] <danyn> html files rather
[03:03] <snadge> is there a sane way to get nvidia 8600GTS working with restricted drivers in feisty?
[03:04] <jrib> !nvidia > snadge (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:04] <snadge> thanks jrib
[03:05] <jrib> Unununium: I don't know what that tar.gz is supposed to be, but here is what I would try first.  You tar up the mplayer plugins from a 32bit system you have and send them to him and tell him to extract to the same place
[03:05] <Unununium> Good idea
[03:05] <Unununium> Thanks!  It'll take me a couple of days to get around to that, though, so... goodbye for now
[03:06] <TUXedomember> as i'm waiting for screem to download what's a AI for ubuntu that i can get?
[03:06] <Red-Sox> Actually, the volume control does work for my mac's internal speaker when my speaker's aren't plugged in
[03:06] <jrib> argh, he left right after I found a mirror
[03:07] <Red-Sox> I've tried selecting a different device but nothing happens
[03:07] <Ownatik> hi, I accidently restored MBR and I can't boot in linux anymore, is there a quick way I could reinstall grub?
[03:07] <soundray> jrib: you could always update the help page...
[03:07] <macd> !grub | Ownatik
[03:07] <ubotu> Ownatik: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:07] <ari_stress> Ownatik: boot use the livecd
[03:08] <ari_stress> Ownatik: then run: sudo grub-install /dev/hda
[03:08] <Ownatik> thanks a lot
[03:08] <hbcm> bhaal: my video card isn't detected
[03:08] <macd> ari_stress, that makes a gross assumption his drive is hda1
[03:08] <jrib> soundray: true, but I was going to ask him to do that after he tested http://linux.vanvalkinburgh.org/2007/06/26/64bit-users-mplayer-support-for-firefox32/ .  I guess I can leave a note instead
[03:08] <ari_stress> macd: yes :)

[03:22] <sasa> danyn: I did install a package (it says libmad0)
[03:23] <sasa> danyn: it doesn't require a reboot I take it?
[03:23] <Psyber> danyn: I have awm installed  and I can run it.  But how can I set it up to be an application launcher instead of a window manager?
[03:23] <danyn> sasa>probably does
[03:23] <kag> hey guys, I'm having a weird problem, when I boot the sound is working right, but it seems after my screen saver comes on (it's the flying toaster, if it matters), it doesn't work anymore... Totem says the audio output is in use by another application
[03:23] <avt3kk> cd to adminn folder??? how
[03:24] <sasa> danyn: thank you, I will try. another question: what is the best application taht will allow ripping dvds to mpg or avi or similar files?
[03:24] <danyn> psyber>it doesnt work as an application launcher as far as i know, also many feature from the windows version isnt in the linux version, as the linux version is behind in development
[03:24] <Plutoprim1> I setup software raid on my box. 3 Harddrives. I created 2 partitions on drives 1 and 2 as raid 1 for BOOT and SWAP. Then I created a third partition on all 3 drives set as RAID 5.

[03:25] <Plutoprim1> but later decided it's unnecessary removed that.. now I keep getting mdadm errors saying spare is missing.. however the spare drive was already removed.. makes no sense

[03:27] <Rageon> guys im really confused.. my root password keeps changing to my home account password !?!!
[03:27] <danyn> caronte23>and it said that the package was successfully installed?
[03:27] <caronte23> no
[03:27] <danyn> sasa>no it isnt
[03:27] <jrib> Rageon: there is no root password by default.  It's not needed
[03:27] <caronte23> danyn, I had mistaken
[03:28] <jrib> !password > tators (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:28] <tators> thanks jrib
[03:28] <linxuz3r> who thinks ubuntu rocks here??????????????????????
[03:28] <sasa> danyn: that's horrible...how come?
[03:28] <MasterShrek> sasa, enable multiverse
[03:28] <Rageon> when i goto user accounts i set the root password and the home account password.. different passwords.. reboot and their both the same/

[03:29] <Man_id_Unknown> fpreto: Do you have any experience with strip?
[03:29] <Rageon> no.. as i said i goto System > Admin > user Accounts
[03:29] <danyn> sasa>it just isnt in the ubuntu repositories. try searching on the debian applications site, it might have a self install file on there. or try www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ and look for a debian package
[03:29] <mm23> hello , i would like to know what are the commands line (terminal) for connect & disconnect from from the internet (Adsl connection) ?
[03:29] <Rageon> unless Root under that means Sudo
[03:29] <jrib> Rageon: why are you trying to set a password for root?
[03:29] <MasterShrek> where are you entering the root password?
[03:29] <avt3kk> I need a wine guru
[03:29] <MasterShrek> if u want to set it, type sudo passwd root
[03:29] <danyn> avt3kk>what do you need?
[03:30] <pike_> avt3kk: most of them are probably in #winehq  :)
[03:30] <fpreto> Man_id_Unknown: never used :(

[03:30] <MasterShrek> Rageon, set it using sudo passwd root and see if that works
[03:30] <jrib> Rageon: you keep repeating that and ignoring the questions we ask.... We can't help you that way
[03:31] <Rageon> he asked again :s
