[02:51] <NetGearNewb> Can anybody solve my problem?  refefer?  usr13?
[02:51] <Baz_> rxs: lots of writing then dhcpdiscover on eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 8
[02:51] <Baz_> rxs: and it eeeps going
[02:51] <rxs> NetGearNewb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968874
[02:51] <usr13> NetGearNewb: Connect to wired network, install ndiswrapper.
[02:52] <Baz_> rxs: the only error'ish statement is "wmaster0: unkown hardare address type 801" written twice
[02:52] <usr13> jigpe: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[02:52] <illmortal> Can someone assist me in getting my GUI back to normal? I installed this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=57819#
[02:52] <illmortal> and now my panels are missing, as well as title bar and GUI is over all messed <,<
[02:52] <Guest1466> rxs? what could be making my machine get hot i know my hardwarrs fine
[02:52] <rxs> Baz_: can you plug the network cable in the other port and try the same ?
[02:53] <jigpe> thanks guys
[02:53] <rxs> Baz_: then modify the command from eth0 to eth1 and try both ports if it doest yet connect

[02:53] <NetGearNewb> rxs and usr13:  I did connect to a wired network and install ndiswrapper.
[02:53] <Baz_> rxs: there is no network cable plugged... the wired ports are on the motherboard - my new dlink card is for wireless
[02:53] <NetGearNewb> it doesn't do anything
[02:53] <Baz_> rxs: hehe
[02:54] <Baz_> rxs: if i completely disabled eth0 and eth1 it would be fine
[02:54] <rxs> Guest1466: Can you open a terminal and type top ?
[02:54] <Guest1466> i did
[02:54] <rxs> Baz_: okay .. you have ethernet ports , 2 of them and a wireless card on ur machine.. right ?
[02:55] <Baz_> rxs: ya
[02:55] <Oinkness> yeaaah.... kompozer crashes whenever i try to do pretty much anything, so I am thinking I am going to need a different program
[02:55] <Oinkness> Can anyone sort of teach me how Wine works? x_x
[02:55] <Oinkness> I like using ubuntu but I need dreamweaver x_x
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Oinkness, /join #winehq
[02:55] <rxs> Guest1466: in the line below the PID , CPU like .. what is the CPU % of the first process ?
[02:55] <Oinkness> thanks Cap'n
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:56] <Oinkness> and thanks to flannel for help earlier ;]
[02:56] <rxs> Baz_: now you wish to connect you machine to the internet using wires or wirelesssly ?
[02:56] <Flannel> !wine | Oinkness
[02:56] <Guest1466> rxs i did top is running
[02:56] <Baz_> rxs: wirelessly with my new dlink card
[02:56] <Flannel> Oinkness: that wiki page walks you through a lot of it (all the non-application specific stuff)
[02:56] <rxs> Baz: can you please connect a wired cable and connect your machine to the internet ?
[02:57] <Kunin> if I make a tar of everything under / (except home, that's mounted elsewhere and backed up) then do an upgrade I *should* be able to just untar that all to roll back if something goes wrong... right?
[02:57] <rxs> Guest1466: can you please  briefly describe what you see ?
[02:57] <NetGearNewb> How do I connect to the internet with NetGear wg111 and ndiswrapper
[02:57] <Baz_> rxs: it would be very laborious and difficult as i would have to move the machine to another room along with a monitor etc.
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Kunin, Make one like that and one of just /home
[02:58] <Baz_> rxs: are u suggesting i need updates?
[02:58] <rxs> NetGearNewb:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51993
[02:58] <rxs> Baz_: yes
[02:58] <woli> need help partitioning.
[02:58] <woli> i need to resize an unextended partition that windows vista uses.
[02:58] <cwillu> Kunin, the --one-file-system option to tar will keep it on a single filesystem (i.e., it'll automatically ignore /proc, /home (in your case), anything mounted in /media, etc
[02:59] <Guest1466> xorg xchat xfum4 thunar excetera
[02:59] <Baz_> rxs: the old catch22, need wireless to get the updates, need updates to get wireless
[02:59] <rxs> Baz_ if you do so, the machine will recognize the card and automatically install the appropriate drivers .. yes it sounds like a vicious circle .. but its the easiest  way to get done
[02:59] <cwillu> Kunin, you'd have to do the restore from a livecd, and might have to do a grub recovery (straightforward), but aside from that, yes
[02:59] <Baz_> rxs: i will do it!
[02:59] <rcguzon_> this is a bit off topic, but does anyone know url_regex in squid
[02:59] <Baz_> rxs: and i will rpeort back... wish me luck!
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> cwillu, that is a cool option that I didnt know, do you have a link
[02:59] <rxs> Guest1466: if xorg is the one that appears on the top , what do u see under the cpu colum ?
[03:00] <rxs> Baz_: goodluck !
[03:00] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow, man tar, then type '/filesystem'
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> cwillu, I have been exculding all of that manually
[03:00] <Guest1466> 2.3
[03:00] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow, '/file-system' rather
[03:00] <tenX> rcguzon_: i could look it up on an existing setup in a basic style if that helps
[03:00] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow, silly man :p
[03:00] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow, pretty much every command with a recursive option also has a one-file-system option
[03:01] <rxs> Guest1466: looks like ur cpu is not being overworked... can you check ur hardware . I mean if fans are doing fine ?
[03:01] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow, for cp, it's -x (or the long --one-file-system as well)
[03:01] <rcguzon_> tenx, mine doesnt seem to work, ive tried every variant of it
[03:01] <woli> Jack_Sparrow: hi, could you help me with this in the #ubuntu-classroom?
[03:01] <tenX> rcguzon_: in my setups i deny access to several self listed domains and it works. is that comparable?
[03:01] <Guest1466> all fans working
[03:02] <rxs> Guest: how are you measuring the temp ? using gnome applets ?
[03:02] <Kunin> on a live cd, how do I mount as r/w?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> woli, No sorry, I am settling in with the wife and starting dinner
[03:02] <rcguzon_> tenx, in my case i only want to block youtube and red tube
[03:03] <mankash> anybody has seen  invalid compressed format(err=2) system halted when booting kernel
[03:03] <[1]Blue> Hello, I'm back with the graphics card driver issue. Reinstalling libgl-mesa-* doesn't seem to help
[03:03] <rxs> [1]Blue: in a terminal type : "glxinfo| greap render" and paste the result in pastebin
[03:04] <rxs> [1]Blue:"glxinfo| grep render"
[03:04] <tenX> rcguzon_: hold on i'll launch ovpn to a setup
[03:04] <Wicked> !samba
[03:04] <rxs> Kunin:what are you trying to mount ?
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mankash, What kind of an install are you running?
[03:05] <rcguzon_> tenX, ok
[03:05] <Kunin> rxs: A physical drive
[03:06] <rxs> Kunin: I get that, but is it a nfst / Fat 32 ( like windows drive ) or a ext3 drive ?
[03:06] <Guest1466> rxs could it  be a rootkit
[03:06] <rxs> Guest1466: yes could be ..was suspecting and  reading up on that to help you ...
[03:06] <cwillu> Kunin, mount /mount/point -o remount,rw
[03:06] <Kunin> rxs ext3
[03:07] <tenX> rcguzon_: as far as i see you'll have to place a dot in front. example entry: .*youtube.*
[03:07] <Wicked> i created a samba share using the right click menu in nautilus and i can see the shares i set up..but i cannot browse or mount or use them
[03:07] <ohzie> Is there any way to make aptitude install a deb and look in repos for the dependencies?
[03:07] <rxs> kunin: as " sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/NameofDrive /mountpoint"
[03:07] <refefer> anyone have any ideas about setting up an extremely limited user account?  I want a user for an ssh proxy, but with no other execution rights
[03:07] <tenX> rcguzon_: reviewing this fact from a regex point of view i cant really see why
[03:07] <tenX> rcguzon_: but it seems to work
[03:08] <cwillu> rxs, Kunin, if it's already mounted ro, you don't need to respecify the type or the device
[03:08] <Daemoen> hey guys, running andlinux (ubuntu in colinux), the default setup is ubuntu 6 if memory serves... i upgraded to 7.10, worked fine, upgraded to <IP_ADDRESS> and now it no longer allows me to login, rather, it no longer does the default login
[03:08] <Daemoen> default setup is root with no password
[03:08] <marabout> question reagarding accessing my network. I am surfing wirelessly but I cannot see the other computers or printer on my network. How can i fix this?
[03:08] <Daemoen> anyone happen to know what would have caused this?
[03:08] <marabout> *regarding
[03:08] <[1]Blue> Which pastebin should I use?
[03:08] <refefer> eh?
[03:09] <rxs> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/
[03:09] <cwillu> marabout, some wireless routers don't transmit multicast packets over the wireless link (typically if they're provided by a company that also provides iptv services, as it would end up broadcasting the video)
[03:09] <cwillu> marabout, mdns/avahi works over multicast
[03:10] <nonewmsgs> i have a weird problem.  my optical mouse (usb) turns itself off every day or so.  with hardy it was less frequent and unplugging it and replugging it fixed it.  with intrepid i have to do a full reboot
[03:10] <rcguzon_> tenX, i know, its quite frustrating you know, hehehe, oh well
[03:10] <tenX> rcguzon_: well in regex of course .* followed by a domain expression will block every string preceding any char and youtube.* afterwards
[03:10] <marabout> cwillu: this is myhome network. I am not familiar with mdns/avahi as I am coming from a Mac OS X environment.
[03:10] <cwillu> nonewmsgs, /etc/init.d/udev restart might bring it back :/
[03:10] <qqx> how do you install the D-Bus library?
[03:10] <cwillu> marabout, avahi == bonjour
[03:10] <[1]Blue> OK, it's pasted
[03:10] <cwillu> marabout, it's used in ubuntu by default to find local machines and the ilke
[03:10] <tenX> rcguzon_: actually it does make sense but i didnt construct it by myself
[03:10] <rxs> [1]blue:link ?
[03:11] <marabout> cwillu: how can I access it?
[03:11] <lain> but he has to reboot .... i think he will not have a shell after that
[03:11] <[1]Blue> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2f264f86 (true, that would be helpful ;) )
[03:11] <tenX> rcguzon_: seems to be regular regex in url, what is your problem/case?
[03:11] <cwillu> marabout, define 'other computers or printer'
[03:11] <nonewmsgs> thank you cwillu i will do that for now but i think im going to invest in one of those minidin conectors
[03:12] <cwillu> marabout, is it windows or mac stuff?
[03:12] <qqx> does anyone know how do you install the D-Bus library?
[03:13] <nazraf> hi guys does anyone have any experience with opencv, i can not access my camera using the cvCreateCameraCapture(0); function, I am preety sure it is not the code, i have used various working sample codes, for some reason i can not access my camera, the camera works and i have tried different cameras any idea??????
[03:13] <marabout> cwillu: 2-3 pcs (via ethernet) two macs (wireless) and a printer being shared via usb
[03:13] <rxs> [1]Blue: okay .. you have lost direct rendering ... thats the issue ... it should have looked like what I have pasted http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m492e5a28
[03:13] <rxs> nazraf: pl == python ?
[03:14] <cwillu> rxs, pl=perl
[03:14] <nazraf> rxs no im using c
[03:14] <Logomachist> I asked this earlier but my problem still isn't fixed so I'll ask again:
[03:14] <Logomachist> Grub doesn't kick in after installing Ubuntu. What can I do? I tried "install-grub" but the command wasn't found. I tried Auto Super Grub Disk for Windows but that didn't do anything.
[03:14] <[1]Blue> OK. How does one activate direct rendering ?
[03:15] <qqx> does anyone know how to install the D-Bus library?
[03:15] <rxs> qqx: install  libdbus-1-3      libdbus-1-dev  pakages
[03:15] <vantrax> Logomachist, on a live cd open a terminal and run sudo grub
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Logomachist, How many drives
[03:15] <masti83> test
[03:15] <nazraf> rxs could the problem be with ubuntu not releasing the camera
[03:15] <freeagy> testk
[03:16] <rxs> nazraf: I have exp using opencv for video capture using python but not c .. I am sorry
[03:16] <Baz_1> rxs: it wasn't actually too bad getting my comp hooked up in the other room but the wired network wont even work!
[03:16] <nazraf> rxs however the camera works on ekiga
[03:16] <rxs> Baz_1: brb
[03:16] <marabout> cwillu: pcs and macs but Macs are always connected
[03:16] <Baz_1> rxs: okay
[03:16] <cwillu> marabout, what are the names of those machines?
[03:16] <Guest1466> rxs i have to shutdown for a bit my machine is at 300 degrees
[03:16] <nazraf> rxs k no probs thank you
[03:16] <rxs> nazraf: cud be .. I have had issues with both skype and my code connecting to teh camera at the same time ..
[03:17] <Logomachist> Jack- one drive
[03:17] <nazraf> rxs how could i check?
[03:17] <rxs> nazraf: kill ekiga and try
[03:17] <cwillu> marabout, try opening a terminal and running (with the name of a mac machine for <name>): ping <name>.local
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Logomachist, windows installed first or after ubuntu
[03:17] <[1]Blue> Is it not too dangerous to go to such extremes as sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx ?
[03:17] <nazraf> rxs k ill try
[03:17] <Baz_1> all i want in life is for linux to have enough market share the manufacturers have to make drivers!
[03:17] <rxs> Guest1466: I am sorry
[03:17] <Baz_1> how much market share do u think that would be? 20%?
[03:17] <Logomachist> sudo grub will do what?
[03:18] <rxs> [1]Blue : no
[03:18] <Logomachist> Windows is installed first
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > Baz_1
[03:18] <meoblast001> hi... where can i pick up the soundfonts used in WMP for midi and how do i install them to timidity?
[03:18] <tenX> Logomachist: su the doings of grub
[03:18] <rxs> Baz_1: critical mass :)
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> tenX, Please dont suggest su
[03:18] <treleb> Is there a way to force Easytag to remember the window position I leave it in when I close it?  It has three windows and I have to drag them to the correct size every time I open it.
[03:19] <[1]Blue> OK, so I'll try removing the fglrx package...
[03:19] <tenX> Jack_Sparrow: in that case it was not my intention
[03:19] <tenX> Jack_Sparrow: but why?
[03:19] <gordtz>  I have a Dell 1907fpt monitor that isn't being recognized/config'd during install.  I have been to just about every place I can imagine and have been unable to resolve my display problem.  It defaults to 800x600 when it's capable of 1280x1024.  been through several iterations of ctl+alt+backspace after renaming xorg.conf, no joy.  consistently rebuilds same low graphic generic settings.  i get the impression there's a manual a
[03:19] <rxs> [1]Blue: please follow the steps given in that page.. those are time tested ubuntu instructions :)
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> tenX, sudo or gksudo are the better way to have root access or sudo -i etc
[03:19] <marabout> cwillu: got an "unknown host" response but I am wondering if this is because I put a space between the words in the computer name?
[03:20] <rxs> Baz_1: can you try that dhclient thingie ?
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> gordtz, what release version of ubuntu
[03:20] <nazraf> rxs same problem cvCreateCameraCapture(0); wont work
[03:20] <cwillu> marabout, no
[03:20] <Logomachist> TenX, I'm a noob. How will sudo grub on a LiveDVD get it working on a hdd?
[03:20] <gordtz> Jack_Sparrow: 8.10 desktop
[03:20] <cwillu> marabout, if the name of the machine is marabout-desktop, then you'd type ping marabout-desktop.local
[03:20] <badfish69> what's a good program to look at exif data?
[03:20] <rxs> nazraf: cameras have a light , does that come up ?
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Logomachist, windows installed first or after ubuntu
[03:20] <Logomachist> XP installed first
[03:20] <[1]Blue> rxs : yep, that's what I'm doing, but it just seems scary to remove packages like that after what happened earlier !! :)
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> gordtz, what video card chipset
[03:21] <nazraf> rxs no light on this one
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Logomachist, do you have a pastebin of sudo fdisk -l  ?
[03:21] <marabout> cwillu: the other computer is "Brother D's Computer" which is what I typed in. It is here right next to me, on and connected to the net
[03:21] <nazraf> rxs butit does work on ekiga
[03:21] <kettuprkl> so so here i am with my first successful ubuntu installation :)
[03:21] <tenX> Jack_Sparrow: for me as a console user aware of my doings, i always launch up a console further raising my privileges to root context executing every system related command that way
[03:21] <Logomachist> Jack, I don't even know what that is. A file?
[03:21] <cwillu> marabout, on the mac, open a console/terminal, and type 'hostname'
[03:21] <vantrax> Logomachist, the livecd lets you edit local files, sudo grub loads the grub terminal and you can find and repair grub, or install it if it is missing
[03:21] <cwillu> marabout, use the name that spits back at you
[03:22] <rxs> [1]Blue: you are just removing the closed source drivers completely and reinstalling the opensource ones ... thats all you are doing and it affects just the graphics card .. you have the same card as I have in my lappie and you will be fine :)
[03:22] <vantrax> !grub | Logomachist
[03:22] <thomasite> Hello. I have a problem with fonts. Recently, I copied numerous ttfs into the fonts folder. When I restarted the laptop, letters in the login screen do not appear as letters anymore but boxes. How do I uninstall those fonts? Thanks!
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Logomachist, do you have a pastebin of sudo fdisk -l  ?           tells us what partitions you have and where tings are
[03:22] <tenX> Jack_Sparrow: and you know what? first thing i do on every ubuntu install is 'sudo passwd root' abolishing restrictions
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !nooroot
[03:22] <Flannel> tenX: That's fine if you want to do that, but please don't recommend it here.
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !noroot
[03:23] <Baz_1> rxs: ok, I plugged the wire into eth0 then ran sudo dhclient eth0.... the result is similar to before - anything specific u are looking for?
[03:23] <tenX> Flannel: i wont, that wasnt my intention

[03:23] <kettuprkl> oh i installed my ubuntu thru wubi, so i should now be able to delete this without having GRUB haunting me afterwards
[03:23] <marabout> cwillu: it gave me "adsl-068-209....." ending in bellsouth.net    My service provider...

[03:24] <tenX> Flannel: educating new ex-windows-users to account and privilege seperation via ubuntu by default is a good step
[03:24] <Wingard> My Xorg.conf seems to be being ignored by X11, any suggestions?
[03:24] <cwillu> marabout, not sure then
[03:24] <Baz_1> rxs: no working leases in perisstent database
[03:24] <Flannel> tenX: True, but by recommending someone use su, you were recommending something that wasn't going to work.
[03:24] <rxs> Baz_1: hmm get that .. you wires etc god ?
[03:25] <rxs> nazraf: mind trying vlc and seeing if it can capture video from that port ?
[03:25] <cwillu> tenX, removing the root password as the first thing you do is leaving yourself wide open to be rooted
[03:25] <tenX> Flannel: i never recommended it to anyone, its a misunderstanding i feel tired to roll up again
[03:25] <marabout> cwillu: could I ping the user name of the user account I am logged in under?

[03:25] <nazraf> rxs sure what is vic
[03:25] <rxs> nazraf: I have seen that I can get video from devices that vlc too can capture from :)
[03:25] <cwillu> marabout, no, it needs to be the host name
[03:25] <tenX> cwillu: and why is that? dont come up with basic knowledge now.
[03:25] <rxs> nazraf: vlc : media player, to install "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> gordtz, got it.. but I am ready for a break.. someone will help, just have patience
[03:26] <Baz_1> rxs: i tried different wires and different ports on the router just in case
[03:26] <woli> Jack_Sparrow: are you available?
[03:26] <nazraf> rxs k thank you ill do that now
[03:26] <gordtz> thank you
[03:26] <Flannel> tenX: I'm not going to press it further; you understand the issue.
[03:26] <Baz_1> rxs: i also rebooted with the wire connected, just in case
[03:26] <bpat1434> Hello, I'm trying to get a static wireless IP address for my ubuntu server; however, when I restart networking it complains "SIOCADDRT: File exists" and then says it failed to bring up wlan0.  I've got this as my /etc/network/interfaces: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101997/
[03:26] <tenX> Flannel: thank you :)
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> woli, Not really, it is about that partition..
[03:26] <cwillu> tenX, the point of privilege separation is to prevent apps running in the context of your user from being able to do things as root
[03:26] <woli> Jack_Sparrow: 'tis
[03:26] <rxs> Baz_1: Ah .. iteresting ... I am lost man :(

[03:26] <cwillu> tenX, if root has no password, then any security bug in firefox now becomes a root exploit
[03:27] <Baz_1> rxs: its a gangster new evga motherboard for the core I7 cpu - maybe not yet properly supported?
[03:27] <tenX> cwillu: do you want me to comment even a piece of that?
[03:27] <cwillu> tenX, go right ahead, just spare me the 'ubuntu doesn't have enough market share to worry'
[03:27] <rxs> Baz_1: it shld have come up ... I mean u shld recive a dhcp address ...but ..one last try .. can you try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:27] <Flannel> cwillu: that's not an issue at hand.  The one at hand has been resolved however.
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> woli, trying to resize sda1 ?  vista ?
[03:27] <Baz_1> rxs: i really appreciate all the help man - maybe try the motherboard driver from the provided cd thru ndiswrapper??
[03:28] <woli> Jack_Sparrow: its vista... it comes with a lot of partitions that i want to wipe out, but i am scared to do it.
[03:28] <rxs> Baz_1: I dont think that willhelp :(
[03:28] <Baz_1> rxs: trying it, brb
[03:28] <woli> Jack_Sparrow: this is my brand new computer, nothing is installed..
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> woli, Are you trying to end up with a dual boot or what
[03:28] <rxs> Baz_1: good luck
[03:28] <woli> Jack_Sparrow: correct;;
[03:29] <tenX> cwillu: i will not criticize any politics. and i have already stated that basic sudo based usage for newbies in ubuntu is a good idea. talking about people knowing their biz.
[03:29] <marabout> cwillu: perhaps I can do it in reverse, i.e. look up the host name of the (ubuntu) computer to see if the Mac will recognize it and kind of back track from there...?
[03:29] <[1]Blue> Just to make sure : when I type lspci I get "05:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600]" as my graphics card. So in the xorg.conf file I should have "PCI:5:0:1", is that right ?
[03:29] <rxs> [1]Blue:  are you back?
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> woli, have you pastebin'd your fstab as it is now
[03:29] <Flannel> tenX, cwillu: We're all on the same page, no need to preach to the choir.  Thanks.
[03:29] <woli> Jack_Sparrow: could we talk in ubuntu classroom?
[03:29] <Wingard> I have an nVidia GeForce 6200, the drivers are installed correctly, and I added a modeline to xorg.conf that should make the default resolution 1600x1200, but when I boot I end up in 1024x768 and the Screen Resolution utility in System > Preferences doesn't allow me to go past 1024x768. How do I fix this? It's getting kind of annoying.
[03:30] <kettuprkl-> hee my first indepentedly installed program thru terminal
[03:30] <tenX> Flannel: :) he wanted to go for it i never gave him a reason
[03:30] <rxs> [1]Blue: did you modify your xorg.conf ever ?
[03:30] <kettuprkl-> irssi
[03:30] <starn> does anybody know if Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0979:0227 Jeilin Technology Corp., Ltd would work on linux? its one of them cheap walmart cameras by sakar
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> woli, Briefly..
[03:31] <Kunin> jrib: you still here?
[03:31] <Wingard> Well fine then, back to google.
[03:31] <jrib> Kunin: yep, what's up?
[03:31] <Kunin> jrib: wondering if you tried HIDPoint at all for logitech stuff
[03:31] <nazraf> rxs sorry i got dc
[03:32] <Logomachist> 1) Did my pastebin help any?
[03:32] <Logomachist> 2) Once I've sudo'd grub on the command line, what next?
[03:32] <nazraf> rxs how do i strem video from my camera on vlc
[03:32] <[1]Blue> No, actually, never
[03:32] <Ward1983> is there a solution for this? http://github.com/albanpeignier/rivendell-debian/tree/master/tickets/20081113-1226573081-intreprid-pamrd-libpam.txt
[03:32] <jrib> Kunin: no, don't even know what that is
[03:32] <starn> does anybody know if i can use my sakar digital camera as a webcam on ubuntu 8.10 like you can in xp/vista
[03:32] <gordtz> does anyone have a working Dell 1907fpt monitor who would share their xorg.conf file?
[03:33] <rxs> nazraf: i think its in file menu .. something line open .. file .. stream and there you can say /dev/video1
[03:33] <[1]Blue> That's why I'm so unsure about this... :)
[03:33] <Soopa> Hi everyone
[03:33] <nazraf> rxs oh  k ill do
[03:33] <[1]Blue> But I'll just do it all and see what comes out
[03:33] <Kunin> jrib: ah, apparently it's supposed to be another way to get logitech crap (like the MX Revo) to work, but I had no luck in hardy with it
[03:33] <Soopa> Can someone help me get tv-out working with a Radeon 7000?
[03:33] <marabout> !hello | Soopa
[03:33] <rxs> [1]Blue: yes .. then just go ahead
[03:33] <jrib> Kunin: I've used revoco to configure how the scroll wheel works though
[03:33] <Soopa> It works fine when connected to a CRT, but not through s-video
[03:34] <rxs> Soopa: using open source or fglrx driver ?
[03:34] <Soopa> it's a PCI card if that helps
[03:34] <Soopa> rxs: how can I tell?
[03:34] <mylogic> there isn't a command called domount that I don't know about that this freaking virtualbox faq is talking about, is there?
[03:34] <Logomachist> exit
[03:34] <rxs> Soopa: in a terminal: glxinfo | grep render
[03:35] <Logomachist> oops
[03:35] <TriBeCa99> can anyone tell me how much of a performance hit i'd take for installing ubuntu onto an ancient 8GB IDE drive instead of my raid10 array? and just use the raid10 array for /home
[03:35] <Soopa> rxs: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20061018 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 NO-TCL
[03:35] <nazraf> rxs i did ls /dev/video* in terminal and i got /dev/video0 , so i used:    /dev/video0 in vlc and nothing came up??
[03:36] <rxs> nazraf: fwiw , I have not been able to use opencv inthose cases using python :(
[03:36] <Kunin> jrib yeah, I saw that... but also see bug reports that my MX Revo won't be recognized (my product id shows as c71c instead of c71b)
[03:36] <marabout> how can I check to make sure my machine is recognizable to any existing network?
[03:36] <nazraf> rxs so you think it may be the camera??
[03:36] <jrib> Kunin: oh, c51a here
[03:37] <TriBeCa99> i'm going through such hell trying to get ubuntu up and running on a raid10 array that i'm seriously considering installing to an old POS drive and just using the array for data
[03:37] <rxs> Soopa: xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
[03:37] <rxs> xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
[03:37] <Ward1983> Kunin, mine works nice out of the box :s
[03:37] <Kunin> jrib: Yeah, figuring that's why everything I tried in hardy didn't work
[03:37] <rxs> nazraf: cud be :(
[03:37] <nazraf> rxs sily question does vlc stream any images from stereo cameras?
[03:38] <rxs> nazraf: not that I know of
[03:38] <LtL> nazraf: try this in a terminal: mplayer -cache 128 -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420:device=/dev/video0 -vc rawi420 -vo xv tv://
[03:38] <Soopa> rxs: okay, done
[03:38] <rxs> Soopa: works ?
[03:38] <nazraf> rxs ok then ill have to find another camera then k thank you very much
[03:38] <Kunin> ward1983 must be nice
[03:38] <nazraf> rxs have a good day!! bye
[03:38] <hackman> must be nice
[03:38] <Soopa> rxs: nope
[03:38] <LtL> nazraf: intrepid broke my camera so i resort to that
[03:39] <Soopa> rxs: nothing happened
[03:39] <Chreestopher> I am a complete noob when it comes to linux and I have recently rebuilt an old computer that i wish to install xubuntu on so i can learn the os. I installed with wubi and i am having a hard time getting some things done even when i follow the tutorials step by step, does anyone feel like helping a complete noob who is dieing to delve into linux?
[03:39] <nazraf> LtL k ill try that
[03:39] <rxs> Soopa: have did you give both the commands ?
[03:39] <gordtz> Monitor resolution defaulted to 800x600 on Dell 1907fpt with adapter= VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c325 [ViRGE] (rev 06), about to go crosseyed trying to get 1280x1024@60hz to work.  The S3 worked fine with a similar Sceptre monitor.  The dell isn't being recognized.  help?
[03:39] <rxs> nazraf: you too
[03:39] <Soopa> rxs: both commands?  sorry, I only saw the xrandr one
[03:39] <nazraf> rxs thanks
[03:40] <nazraf> LtL i did that but i get a fuzzy green screen
[03:40] <rxs> Soopa: in a terminal : xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 ; xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
[03:40] <Baz_> rxs: i figured it out - you won't beleive what it was!?
[03:40] <rxs> Baz_: enlighten me !
[03:41] <nazraf> LtL do you know why it could be?
[03:41] <Soopa> rxs: that didn't work
[03:41] <Baz_> rxs: there was only one other thig to check - the router - turns out my roomate had enabled mac filtering like a bastard
[03:41] <LtL> nazraf: you need to google that model and use a proper module. intrepid rendered my ov511 module useless in vlc
[03:41] <Soopa> rxs: the screen flashed, but that's all
[03:41] <Soopa> rxs: I have my CRT connected along with my TV
[03:41] <nazraf> LtL what do you mean by a proper module?
[03:41] <rxs> Soopa: terminal: xrandr and paste result in pastebin
[03:41] <lobitoxic> hi
[03:41] <Soopa> rxs: TV is standard-def s-video
[03:42] <rxs> okay try Soopa: in a terminal : xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 ; xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 --right-of VGA-0
[03:42] <Baz_> rxs: no to see if the wireless would have worked all along - my goodness i'm going to kill him if it would have
[03:42] <LtL> nazraf: in a term type lsmod this is a list of installed modules, your camera needs a kernel module that works
[03:42] <rebel_kid> that was a fun trip, but im back to the wonderful world of ubuntu for my desktops... just spent an hour configuring xorg on debian (when ubuntu works out of the box) and 2 hours trying (without success) to get WPA working..... its good to be home
[03:42] <Soopa> rxs: http://pastebin.com/m7bfe615f
[03:43] <rxs> Baz_: gosh !
[03:43] <nazraf> LtL k ill do that
[03:43] <LtL> nazraf: if your camera is supported at all that is.
[03:43] <marabout> cwillu: you still here. I think I found the address to the machine in question
[03:43] <rxs> Soopa: in a terminal : xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 ; xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 --right-of VGA-0
[03:44] <nazraf> LtL what am i looking for? the camera worked with ekiga
[03:44] <happy_> what is a good proxy to speed up internet connection?
[03:44] <Soopa>  sudo xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 --right-of VGA-0xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1600x1200 (desired size 1824x768)
[03:44] <LtL> nazraf: it did work you say?
[03:44] <chrisaw> What would be the most minimal/customizable way to install Ubuntu? I need to save space on my eee ;)
[03:44] <rxs> Soopa: you need to add a virtual section in your xorg.conf and restart ur xsession ...
[03:45] <un_dave> hi, i have a spare low spec'd system, and want to use it in my lounge to power a simple monitor, which would cycle through some network stats, server stats, and possibly a slideshow of a few pictures. can anyone suggest some good applications to help me out?
[03:45] <Soopa> rxs: okay, how do I do that?
[03:45] <nazraf> LtL the cmera worked on ekiga so i can stream video fromit
[03:45] <rxs> Soopa: can you paste cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf in pastebin ?
[03:45] <Dr_willis> chrisaw,  there are some EEE specific variants in the works i hear.
[03:45] <nazraf> but i cant get video from it on opencv
[03:45] <LurkersA> un_dave, Conky?
[03:45] <Soopa> rxs: yep, just a sec.. thanks for your help, btw!
[03:45] <LtL> nazraf: so the camera does work, just in ekiga?
[03:45] <Wingard> I've learned that Ubuntu 8.10 hates nVidia cards. Good thing I have a Windows XP disk on hand.
[03:45] <Baz_> rxs: wireless working fast and flawlessly out of the box!! hahahaha! Man i feel bad having wasted your time but without all the thorough stuff you checked that I wouldn't have known i would have never suspected the router
[03:45] <chrisaw> Dr_willis, yeah...even the most minimal ones have GNOME....fills up the drive :P
[03:45] <nazraf> yes so far jut in ekiga
[03:46] <LurkersA> Wingard, Using Envy drivers of OSS drivers?
[03:46] <nazraf> LtL yes so far in ekiga only
[03:46] <rxs> Baz_: np .. glad you are online !
[03:46] <Soopa> rxs: http://pastebin.com/m76acbfed
[03:46] <Wingard> LurkersA: Using proprietary drivers, the problem is that X11 doesn't want to read xorg.conf.
[03:46] <nonewmsgs> +j #kubuntu
[03:46] <un_dave> LurkersA: conky would be good for just on a desktop, but i want something fullscreen, and a slideshow of pics is possible
[03:46] <LtL> nazraf: well, its got a module loaded i assume, it just doesnt work in other programs, you on intrepid?
[03:47] <qqx> could anyone solve this cryptic error?:http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[03:47] <un_dave> LurkersA: it wont have a keyboard/mouse attached, so you wont need to be able to see the desktop
[03:47] <qqx> could anyone solve this cryptic error?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[03:47] <nazraf> LtL pardon me im a nube what is intrepid?
[03:47] <LurkersA> Wingard, Odd, have you tried 'sudo nvidia-settings' and writing the xorg.conf through there?
[03:47] <LtL> nazraf: 8.10 ubuntu, the latest version
[03:48] <nazraf> LtL yes
[03:48] <Wingard> LurkersA: Tried that twice, then tried using dpkg-reconfigure, which didn't give me any monitor/display config, just language and keyboard.
[03:48] <rxs> Soopa : have added the lines to your xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m2183d5dd
[03:48] <LurkersA> un_dave, Not sure then. Conky would have been the first choice, mad it fullscreen, but there is bound to be a piece of software for what you want
[03:48] <LurkersA> Wingard, GFX card model?
[03:48] <Wingard> LurkersA: GeForce 6200.
[03:48] <un_dave> LurkersA: yeah, it seems like something common, but i cant find it!
[03:48] <LtL> nazraf: my cam worked fine until the upgrade, hopefully they'll fix it. you are in the same boat without a workaround.
[03:48] <Dracie_> hi i can't seem to setup my .mac (mobileme) email to work with ubuntu, does anyone know a resource that has the setup information i will need?
[03:48] <Dracie_> hi i can't seem to setup my .mac (mobileme) email to work with ubuntu, does anyone know a resource that has the setup information i will need?
[03:48] <Dracie_> oops sorry
[03:49] <LurkersA> Dracie_, How do you mean? evolution won't connect to it?
[03:49] <rxs> Soopa: do this ; use your favorite editor ; open xorg.conf in sudo mode and add those 4 lines I have added or replace the old one with new one ,,,
[03:49] <qqx> could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[03:49] <Meshezabeel> Why does the search feature in Synaptic not pick everything up that is searched for?
[03:50] <Dracie_> LurkersA, I am using thunderbird and unlike the mac version there isn't an option to setup a .mac account
[03:51] <LurkersA> Meshezabeel, Are you using search or filter?
[03:51] <nazraf> LtL k so you think its adriver issue
[03:51] <Soopa> rxs: okay, cool, thanks
[03:51] <LtL> nazraf: yes i do
[03:51] <chrisaw> so anyone have any ideas?
[03:51] <LurkersA> Dracie_, Try looking on the website of mobileme for a configuration for thunderbird
[03:51] <Soopa> rxs: now I should restart X?
[03:51] <Wingard> LurkersA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102005/ This is my xorg.conf, notice anything blatantly wrong? I also tried adding a modeline, but that just horribly broke things.
[03:51] <Dracie_> LurkersA, thx
[03:52] <rxs> did you add those virtuallines ? if so .. restart x and then type those xrandr commands and you should be good to go
[03:52] <nazraf> LtL so should i gram a logitech camera and find the latest driver for it on the logitech website? and see if that works?
[03:52] <kapu> can someone here help me to understand how to connect to an irc network. I want to connect to client.oz.org
[03:52] <LurkersA> Dracie_, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1625?viewlocale=en_US#thunderbird
[03:52] <rxs> Soopa:did you add those virtuallines ? if so .. restart x and then type those xrandr commands and you should be good to go
[03:52] <qqx> could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[03:52] <Meshezabeel> LurkersA: I am using the Quicksearch box in the tool bar of synaptic
[03:52] <Soopa> rxs: yep, I added those lines.. now how do I restart X?  Reboot?
[03:52] <nazraf> LtL i ment grab
[03:52] <Wingard> Soopa: Press CTRL + ALT + Backspace
[03:53] <Dracie_> yeah i looked at that, i was hoping there was a more clear cut article, but i'll look at that again
[03:53] <Dr_willis> Soopa,  alt-ctrl-backspace, or restart the gdm service
[03:53] <LurkersA> Meshezabeel, That never works for me either, try clicking 'Search' and using that
[03:53] <marabout> if I want to connect my ipod to my machine (hardy) is there an app that will support playing the files on it?
[03:53] <LtL> nazraf: the best way is use a camera the kernel recognizes and has a module for, otherwise an update will come along and break a self-installed driver. but you can try.
[03:53] <rxs> Soopa : logout and login again
[03:53] <Soopa> :)
[03:53] <Toadlips> Anybody wanna help a poor fool get through a Ubuntu 8.10 installation gone bad?
[03:53] <Meshezabeel> LurkersA: the quick search always used to work properly in the previous versions of ubuntu.
[03:53] <Meshezabeel> it seems broken in 8.10
[03:53] <Soopa> thanks Wingard, Dr_willis, and rxs.. brb
[03:53] <Logomachist> Toad what went wrong?
[03:53] <nazraf> LtL so if a camera works as plug and play thats better?
[03:54] <LurkersA> Dracie_, I can't see anything immediately obvious sorry
[03:54] <LurkersA> Meshezabeel, Intrepid 8.10?
[03:54] <Toadlips> I went for the gusto and attempted 7800GT SLI and FakeRaid
[03:54] <Wingard> LurkersA: So you don't see anything wrong in my xorg.conf? Odd, why the hell won't anything read it?
[03:54] <rxs> Wingard: Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0 , can you remove the tab between Screen and 0 ?
[03:54] <Dracie_> LurkersA, its fine... just sorta drives me nuts, google has such nice setup docs compared to apples
[03:54] <Meshezabeel> LurkersA: yes
[03:54] <Toadlips> The guided Partition Manager crashed, so I hit reset and did it manually
[03:55] <Toadlips> After the installation completed, I logged in and I can move the mouse around,
[03:55] <LtL> nazraf: in a perfect world, no proprietory drivers are needed, but its no perfect world. if the hardware is ubuntu supported, it just works
[03:55] <raylu> !x | rxs
[03:55] <marabout> Dracie_: do you know whether MobileMe is using a POP or iMap server?
[03:55] <Wingard> rxs: I'll try that, one moment.
[03:55] <Toadlips> but then the screen completely freezes and theres a little garbage
[03:55] <Toadlips> I can still move the mouse, though
[03:55] <raylu> rxs: ignore that. ctrl+alt+backspace
[03:55] <LurkersA> Meshezabeel, It seems to be specific to 8.10 unfortunately, just avoid the quick search bar
[03:55] <Meshezabeel> LurkersA: okay, thanks
[03:55] <nazraf> LtL k ill see what i can do, thank you very much for your time i really appreciate it!!!!
[03:55] <LurkersA> Wingard, No, but then again it isn't my specialty
[03:55] <nazraf> LtL have a good one!!!
[03:56] <LtL> nazraf: you too.
[03:56] <qqx> could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[03:56] <Toadlips> I assume it's a graphic driver issue, but I can't do that get-apt thing in text recovery mode because my Eth0 is disabled or something?
[03:56] <LurkersA> Dracie_, The Mac documentation I linked you to seem pretty good
[03:56] <rxs> Soopa: yes I would do ctr-alt-backspace
[03:56] <LurkersA> Meshezabeel, No Prob
[03:56] <raylu> !x is The X Window System is responsible for graphical output. To restart X, press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or type << sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart >> in a console.

[03:59] <Dr_willis> TC1,  /etc/rc.local script is one way.
[03:59] <Soopa> rxs: Sure, for the two commands I just did?
[03:59] <raylu> IceBall: i wonder what happens if you try "sudo invoke-rc.d alsa-utils restart"
[03:59] <Pooky> it's a propietary soft raid, raid 5  or something
[03:59] <IceBall> kk 1 sec
[03:59] <rxs> Soopa: just type xrandr and paste the long result
[03:59] <chrisaw> What would be the most minimal/customizable way to install Ubuntu? I need to save space on my eee ;)
[03:59] <qqx> could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[04:00] <Pooky> the drive was mounting fine, I disconnected, and now, it only mounts as read only
[04:00] <raylu> !eee | chrisaw
[04:00] <Area52> thank you all for the information ... and i appolagize for the off topic comment ... thank you again
[04:00] <Area52> see ya later
[04:00] <Baz_> chrisaw: with a desktop?
[04:00] <IceBall> raylu, shoudl i wait for updates to finish? Just installed on a new system
[04:00] <Toadlips> How can I get the Eth0 up & running from the recovery console? :)
[04:00] <raylu> Pooky: what is the output of mount? is it mounted right now?
[04:00] <chrisaw> hmm, Baz_ ?
[04:00] <Wingard> rxs: That caused a parsing error and now I'm on 800x600. So you basically made it worse.
[04:00] <Soopa> rxs: http://pastebin.com/m49f4bf1a
[04:00] <raylu> IceBall: probably a good idea, if you're updating from a fresh install
[04:00] <Wingard> !x
[04:00] <Pooky> raylu: it's automounted at the moment, let me unmountandmanually remount
[04:00] <raylu> Pooky: er, no
[04:01] <raylu> Pooky: that's what i want
[04:01] <TC1> Dr_willis: tks! And that is before the "exit 0" line, right?
[04:01] <raylu> Pooky: and what happened to your spacebar?
[04:01] <IceBall> raylu, yes, ok ty for the help, saved the code
[04:01] <Soopa> rxs: It says s-video is disconnected, but it's not.. :\
[04:01] <chrisaw> raylu, the default livecd installation is too large for the drive
[04:01] <rxs> Wingard: I had suggested the change in line 6 ... is that what you did ?
[04:01] <Baz_> chrisaw: you can install it just command line but i'm guessing that u want a desktop
[04:01] <chrisaw> ah, yes Baz_ , but probably not a DE
[04:01] <Pooky> raylu: it's gimpy, one side is kind of loose.
[04:01] <chrisaw> maybe LXDE
[04:01] <Logomachist> Toad, sorry, I don't know anything about your prob.
[04:02] <Pooky> raylu: so it's takes 3x the force to get a space on the right hand side as it does the left
[04:02] <rxs> Soopa: did you try this  Soopa: in a terminal : xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 ; xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 --right-of VGA-0
[04:02] <marabout> !.local
[04:02] <Dr_willis> TC1,  since exit 0  exits the script.. :) thats a YES...
[04:02] <marabout> ! ping
[04:02] <Dracie_> marabout, it works thanks
[04:02] <Toadlips> CTRL-ALT-BS won't work for me....
[04:02] <raylu> Pooky: oh. fun
[04:02] <raylu> chrisaw: too large for the... hard drive?
[04:03] <Wingard> rxs: Yes, I changed line 6. It caused a parsing error when I restarted X and my xorg.conf is now gone.
[04:03] <chrisaw> raylu, yes :(
[04:03] <marabout> Dracie_: so I assume MobileMe is using an Imap server?
[04:03] <zcat[1]> !sysrq
[04:03] <raylu> chrisaw: that site doens't mention anything about that... how big is your hard drive?
[04:03] <TC1> Dr_willis, tks.
[04:03] <Dracie_> marabout, it can use pop3 but you have to contact mobileme support to enable it - i like imap more anyways
[04:03] <chrisaw> raylu, 2 GB
[04:03] <marabout> Dracie_: yeah me too
[04:04] <Dracie_> marabout, you use .mac too?
[04:04] <raylu> marabout, Dracie_: so does the rest of the sane world
[04:04] <rxs> Wingard: no nothing is gone , please do cntr-alt-f1 , go to pseudo terminal , then use nano to give the space again and then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:04] <Soopa> rxs: okay, maybe I had a typo.. that sort of worked
[04:04] <Dracie_> raylu, well said lol
[04:04] <Soopa> rxs: but now all the TV does is flicker
[04:04] <Logomachist> Can anyone help me manually install grub? Someone suggested I "sudo grub" on the command line, but then what?
[04:04] <raylu> rxs: to save a second: invoke-rcd = /etc/init.d/
[04:04] <Baz_> chrisaw: i have an eee and xubuntu runs very nicely on it - u need to get into usb drives and sd sticks to give yourself another 40gb - it will be a painfull road trying to squeeze mb's out of your 2gb
[04:04] <raylu> rxs: *invoke-rc.d
[04:04] <Dracie_> Logomachist, you need to do sudo grub-install /dev/(device)
[04:04] <Dracie_> !grub
[04:05] <chrisaw> hmm
[04:05] <marabout> Dracie_: No but I am a Mac user. I traded a friend an old iMac (G3) for an everex Laptop so I decided to check out Ubuntu with it...
[04:05] <raylu> chrisaw: um... i don't think there's really any way to install ubuntu in that with a gui
[04:05] <raylu> chrisaw: i'm sure you could, but you're going to run into issues later
[04:05] <Baz_> chrisaw: the sd card is especially nice cuz u pop it in and leave it there for ever - make it your /home folder - bam instant 8gb
[04:05] <Toadlips> Anybody know what the best way would be to install a driver on an unstable Ubuntu installtion?  Recovery Console?
[04:05] <rxs> Soopa: so all that the tv does is flicker ? and no stabe image ? can you move your mouse to the screen ?
[04:05] <Dracie_> marabout, cool, get debian on there... better mac support i think
[04:06] <qqx> could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[04:06] <Pooky> raylu: so I do mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc2 /media/drobo -o gid=1001 ... and it mounts fine, but the filesystem is still read only
[04:06] <Logomachist> Thanks Dracie. Now it says "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[04:06] <raylu> Baz_: at 2gb, i'd be putting most of my system on that card too
[04:06] <Soopa> rxs: oh!  I can move my mouse to the right and it shows up, but yeah, it just flickers.. no stable image
[04:06] <cowbud> qqx: yeah go in and edit it :) that is what I did
[04:06] <chrisaw> raylu, well eeebuntu already installed, but I only have 135 MB free...I wanted something without a DE, but I know it will be able to fit on 2 GB confortably, if a full DE like GNOME fit.
[04:06] <raylu> Pooky: hfsplus ...?
[04:06] <rxs> Soopa: I think there s some sync / refresh rate issue .. I cannot help more .. I am sorry ..
[04:07] <raylu> Pooky: isn't that a mac thing?
[04:07] <Dracie_> chrisaw, read about compressing some of your fielsystem
[04:07] <marabout> Dracie_: still trying to get a handle on Ubuntu not sure if I want to add another dimension to this learning experience I've been having...
[04:07] <cowbud> qqx: change it to:     fd = open (filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 00644);
[04:07] <Dracie_> marabout, debian isn't that much harder
[04:07] <gordtz1> any news?
[04:07] <Pooky> raylu: it's the filesystem typically used on a mac, yes
[04:07] <raylu> chrisaw: um, that sentence made no sense, sorry
[04:07] <raylu> Pooky: why...?
[04:07] <Soopa> rxs: okay, no problem.. thanks for everything :)
[04:07] <chrisaw> Dracie_, yeah, I've done that with windows, what's the ubuntu way?
[04:07] <Pooky> raylu: hrm?
[04:07] <rxs> Soopa: np
[04:07] <Baz_> whats a DE? esktop Edition?
[04:07] <Toadlips> rsx, might you be able to help me as a consolation? :)
[04:07] <chrisaw> raylu, eeebuntu (with gnome) installed fine
[04:08] <raylu> Pooky: why do you have a usb drive formated as HFS+?
[04:08] <rxs> Toadlips: go ahead
[04:08] <chrisaw> Baz_, desktop environment...gnome or kde
[04:08] <Toadlips> My installation went OK, but the screen freezes after a few seconds with some random garbage on the screen
[04:08] <marabout> Dracie_: Probably not it just took way too much time to get Ubuntu isntalled on this machine due to the video card (driver) issues. Dont think I want to relive that again. For example:
[04:08] <Pooky> raylu: because I primarily have macs, with a small handful of linux boxes, for things like file sharing and such
[04:08] <Toadlips> I'm running SLI, so I assume that's part of it...I just don't know how to download drivers when the install won't give me enough time!
[04:09] <Toadlips> Unless you think it might be something else!
[04:09] <rxs> Toadlips: okay .. so you have installed the os and you are start the machine as usual .. yes ? and what is the os u have installed ?
[04:09] <marabout> "anyone on the forum have anything good to say about via chrome9 hc igp driver and Ubuntu?"
[04:09] <Baz_> chrisaw: ah... so whats not a DE and not command line?
[04:09] <Toadlips> Yep, Ubuntu 8.10, and I can always log in just fine.
[04:09] <Dracie_> marabout, oh... the worst video driver issue i had was gentoo live 2008.1 set my X with radeon drivers which doesn't work with my card
[04:09] <Toadlips> I can also move the mouse, but CTRL-ALT-BS no workie...
[04:09] <Sorcererbob> how many of you do support on the forums too?
[04:09] <Dracie_> so X wouldn't start unelss i changed it to vesa
[04:10] <qqx> cowbud: edit what?
[04:10] <raylu> Pooky: according to http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-hfsplus, this project has been dead since 2003
[04:10] <chrisaw> Baz_, generally known as a "window manager"...fluxbox, wmii, dwm, ratpoison.
[04:10] <raylu> Pooky: and i believe it's a read-only deal
[04:10] <raylu> Pooky: http://www.ardistech.com/hfsplus/ is beta but supports non-journaled writes
[04:10] <Dracie_> i think you can read write to hfs
[04:10] <Dracie_> oh
[04:10] <rxs> Toadlips: so you can logon and things work, okay .. are using Nvidia drivers ?
[04:10] <Toadlips> 2x 7800GTs...some others seemed to have some driver issues with the same setup, but I can't even download the drivers to try my luck...
[04:11] <Toadlips> No, I'm using whatever the OS originally came with....
[04:11] <cowbud> qqx write-catalog.c at the line that is reported in the error
[04:11] <Pooky> raylu: oooooh, I bet someone turnedon journaling
[04:11] <raylu> Pooky: wait, ew. they both named their drivers "hfsplus." that's annoying
[04:11] <rxs> Baz_: xfce is good too
[04:11] <Wingard> Well, this is great.
[04:11] <raylu> Pooky: no, you should be able to mount a journaled filesystem without journaling support
[04:11] <Dracie_> Wingard, whats great
[04:11] <qqx> cowbud i have no idea what you're talking about :(
[04:11] <Wingard> Now I'm stuck on 800x600, xrandr won't read xorg.conf's Modes line, and my Windows XP disk doesn't want to work.
[04:11] <rxs> Toadlips: can you see if the system suggests any closed source NVIDIA drivers as part of the restricted manager ?
[04:11] <marabout> Dracie_: no such luck here with vesa or openchrome. Had to do a text based install with Hardy alternate CD then do update via terminal/console all the while my  by hands were being held these great chaps on the forum...
[04:11] <Wingard> Ubuntu has to be the worst distro yet.
[04:12] <Baz_> rxs: xfce is considered a DE or WM
[04:12] <[2]Blue> Back with the drivers issue : upon logging out, I got a "low graphics" interface that wanted me to choose my screen from a list, as well as a driver for the graphics card (did I mess up the xorg.conf, or is that normal?) I then logged in again, this time it was not slow and buggy as it was before (great!) but the resolution was at 800x600 and I couldn't get it higher. After a full reboot, the resolution is normal again, direct renderi
[04:12] <raylu> chrisaw: still waiting on you to finish explaining
[04:12] <marabout> *by these great chaps
[04:12] <Toadlips> It did recommend that on my initial boot, but since then I cannot download anything -- the system freezes first :(
[04:12] <rxs> Wingard: please wait .. dont bad mouth
[04:12] <karlp> Wingard: eh, imho, it's not the best for pretty much anything, but it's up there. certainly not on the low end of the list anyway
[04:12] <cwillu> rxs, I was just going to add him to my ignore list :p
[04:12] <cowbud> qqx: then you probably shouldn't be doing what you are doing there
[04:12] <karlp> Wingard: it has a package manager that works at least.
[04:12] <Toadlips> I never actually had the chance to download the drivers before it all crapped out on me...
[04:13] <Dracie_> hmm well with debian etch i installed gnome on my imac g3 just fine
[04:13] <Dracie_> so i dunno
[04:13] <rxs> Baz_ xfce - DE , xfwm - wm
[04:13] <qqx> cowbud i want to configure BlueZ and this is a prerequisite
[04:13] <Wingard> karlp: For me, it's the lowest, considering in it, xrandr can't manage to read xorg.conf. And most distros have a package manager that works.
[04:13] <rxs> cwillu: go ahead... :)
[04:13] <raylu> Pooky: try mounting it as "hfs" instead of "hfsplus"
[04:13] <Dracie_> the thing with debian is its actually supporting officially Powerpc so you can except better a better install
[04:13] <chrisaw> raylu, sorry.  basically I know I can get a comfortable install going on just 2 GB, but I need to do a minimal install, and from there add fluxbox or LXDE...and I'm thinking about 1, 1.5 GB used then.
[04:14] <cwillu> Wingard, xorg doesn't use modelines anymore, if you have an old xorg.conf file (pre xrandr1.2) you'll need to rework it.  Far simpler than it used to be though
[04:14] <cowbud> qqx: it seems more like you want to install it from source which is a bit different
[04:14] <Toadlips> Rsx, do you think I need the official NVIDIA drivers?  If so, how can I patch them in when I can't use the gui?
[04:14] <Dracie_> chrisaw, do a compressed /usr filesystem
[04:14] <qqx> cowbud just pm me
[04:14] <Dracie_> you'll save so much space
[04:14] <rxs> cwillu,[2]Blue: if [2]Blue had correctly followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver , he shouldnt have issues
[04:14] <marabout> Dracie_: Linux is still a new world for me so I want to tread slowly. My intention is to get my children used to using Ubuntu/Edubuntu as well the Mac & PC so I'm concentrating on Ubuntu for now.
[04:14] <Pooky> raylu: it tells me it's the wrong fs type
[04:15] <Wingard> cwillu: I tried both adding Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" to the end of the Display subsection in the Screen section and using a modeline. Neither worked.
[04:15] <chrisaw> Dracie_, yeah, but how to do so?
[04:15] <Pooky> meh, this has been working  for 3 months, and suddenly now it's borked :/
[04:15] <Dracie_> marabout, good idea, is there a big difference with edubuntu than ubuntu?
[04:15] <raylu> chrisaw: i _think_ the alternate cd lets you install desktop edition without a DE
[04:15] <cwillu> Wingard, pastebin your xorg.conf, tell us which card you're using, and what resolution you want
[04:15] <Dracie_> chrisaw, check out www.eeeuser.com - all the documentation you'll need
[04:15] <raylu> chrisaw: no idea if there's an eeebuntu alternate, though
[04:15] <DaveDixonII> where can i download the default GNOME theme?
[04:16] <marabout> Dracie_: do you know of any resources for mac users entering into the Linux/Ubuntu environment. It may be easier to get some work down by mimicing the OS X environment in the beginning
[04:16] <Wingard> cwillu: This is the current broken xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102014/ I have an nVidia GeForce 6200 and I (rather obviously) want to run 1600x1200.
[04:16] <chrisaw> raylu, yeah, I figured I'd pop in the alternate CD now and do the array.org custom kernel later...but I'm not seeing any customization options, even on the expert install. Maybe I should try the netinstall?
[04:16] <gordtz1> cwillu; can you help with my xorg.conf config?
[04:16] <cwillu> Wingard, running nvidia's 177 driver?
[04:17] <Wingard> Cwillu: Yes.
[04:17] <DaveDixonII> Anyone?
[04:17] <qqx> could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[04:17] <qqx> could anyone help me solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[04:17] <cowbud> ask again I don't think we saw it
[04:17] <marabout> Dracie_: not to sure as I erased it off the computer when I first got it but it seems like a wonderful resource for learning and my children are all doing on line school (k12.com)
[04:17] <Toadlips> There are a lot of "buffer io" errors on bootup, but they flash by so fast I can't really tell what they are during the text mode bootup
[04:17] <cowbud> or solved it for that matter
[04:17] <raylu> chrisaw: maybe... no experience with eeebuntu here, though
[04:18] <cwillu> Wingard, http://pastebin.com/f11d379af is my xorg.conf with an nvidia, although you can drop the twinview line obviously
[04:18] <chrisaw> raylu, ok, thanks for the help anyway :)
[04:18] <Dracie_> marabout, there is a project to make a linux machine look like a mac graphically
[04:18] <wfire> oh man, I finally got ubunut all loaded and then I ran the updates and when I rebooted all it comes up with is GRUB, can someone tell me what that is?
[04:18] <cwillu> Wingard, stick that one in, and then run nvidia-settings
[04:18] <chrisaw> raylu, I',m in the standard alternate install now, not the eeebuntu one
[04:18] <raylu> chrisaw: oh
[04:18] <rxs> wfire: do you see any lines in grup ? i mean kernels as boot options ?
[04:18] <Dracie_> marabout, i would do a dual boot ubuntu and mac os x system
[04:19] <Baz_> if i just install programs is there a reason to include the (Source Code) repos?
[04:19] <wfire> no it just says GRUB
[04:19] <Pooky> Dracie_: I hate running ubuntu on a mac
[04:19] <wfire> and repeats it if I let it sit
[04:19] <wfire> should I just reinstall
[04:19] <cwillu> Baz_, not really, it won't break anything
[04:19] <rxs> wfire: try a cntr-c then ...
[04:19] <wfire> ok
[04:19] <marabout> Dracie_: meaning install OS X (10.5) onto this laptop (everex stepnote NC1502)?
[04:19] <marabout> Pooky: Why is that? What happens?
[04:20] <cwillu> Wingard, once you have nvidia-settings open, go to "X Server Display Configuration", and tweak it from there
[04:20] <raylu> Pooky: woah. http://linux.die.net/man/1/hfs
[04:20] <cwillu> Wingard, nvidia's driver doesn't support xrandr 1.2 extensions, but uses its own lines that are similar.  nvidia-settings will get you started (in fact, running it as part of your session will restore the settings even without an xorg.conf file, as long as the nvidia driver itself is being used)
[04:21] <DaveDixonII> Amazing how everyone else recieves support. :(
[04:21] <wfire> weird I shut it off to take out cd, now it works fine
[04:21] <[2]Blue> I followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver, it seems to work fairly well (and the direct rendering works) but it doesn't seem like it's the same driver as before since "fancier" things ask me to update the driver to xorg-driver-fglrx where as before it didn't.
[04:21] <Wingard> cwillu: nvidia-settings doesn't like to work for me, all it allows me to change is Panning, which doesn't really do much other than make things not work.
[04:21] <rxs> DaveDixonll: whats up ?
[04:21] <Pooky> marabout: for me, it's just support for all the weird mac hardware.  smc controls and such were bonked the last time I tried it, so I could either be carrying a jet engine or a lap cooker.
[04:21] <raylu> DaveDixonII: try the gnome irc channel
[04:21] <DaveDixonII> The channel is?
[04:22] <Pooky> raylu: interesting, I'll check it out
[04:22] <Baz_> how dangerous is it to enable intrepid-backports updates
[04:22] <rxs> [2]Blue: okay .. can you pastebin glxinfo | grep render ?
[04:22] <Toadlips> rxs, is there any way that I can force the official nvidia drivers on an initial installation?
[04:22] <marabout> rxs: on boot up should one see the command or go immediately to a desktop (gui)? as I get a command line interface on mine (hardy)
[04:22] <Wingard> cwillu: Aaand...What do you know, it doesn't work. I click Detect Displays and it doesn't do anything, and due to the whole 800x600 things I can't get at any buttons.
[04:23] <[2]Blue> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d481e02aa
[04:23] <rxs> Toadlips: give me a sec ... can you tell me where you are now ? do you have a gui to work with ?
[04:23] <Dracie_> marabout, look at the private chat i initiated
[04:23] <[2]Blue> Now it says "yes" for direct rendering
[04:23] <marabout> Pooky: I see
[04:23] <Toadlips> No gui -- freezes before I can do anything after logging in
[04:23] <marabout> Dracie_: will do
[04:23] <rxs> marabout: okat .. so ur struck on a commandline ?
[04:23] <nickrud> DaveDixonII, if you have gnome-themes installed you have the official gnome themes
[04:24] <DaveDixonII> nickrud: sudo apt-get install gnome-themes
[04:24] <DaveDixonII> ?
[04:24] <cwillu> Wingard, oh, okay.  You're running under vesa right now
[04:24] <rxs> [2]Blue:please write my id and a : before you type text to me .. I will miss it else
[04:24] <nickrud> DaveDixonII, yes. That gives you clearlooks, glider, crux, mist & industrial
[04:24] <cwillu> winferno_, pastebin /var/log/xorg.0.log
[04:24] <Toadlips> rxs: No gui - recovery console OK
[04:24] <[2]Blue> Oops, ok ! :)
[04:24] <Wingard> cwillu: Vesa?
[04:25] <cwillu> Wingard, pastebin /var/log/xorg.0.log (winferno_, sorry)
[04:25] <cwillu> Wingard, yes, failsafe mode
[04:25] <marabout> rxs: no i boots up to command line then  I think "quick splash" its called? asks for my password (encrypted HD) then give me the (gui) log in screen. I'm new so I am not sure what to expect exactly
[04:25] <rxs> [2]Blue: okay ..it seems fine .. u shld be able to run even compiz or compositing in xfce this way
[04:25] <marabout> **it
[04:26] <DaveDixonII> nickrud: gnome-themes is already the newest version. :(
[04:26] <Wingard> cwillu: cat: /var/log/xorg.0.log: No such file or directory
[04:26] <cwillu> Wingard, Xorg.0.log
[04:26] <rxs> Toadlips: nvidia support right ?
[04:26] <tyta_linux> what is the command to delete my ip table?
[04:27] <raylu> DaveDixonII: http://www.gnome.org/support/

[04:28] <jrib> kshlmster: please turn that off
[04:28] <rxs> cwillu: can you tell Toadlips what nvidia closed source driver you use ? may be the command to install it in terminal using "apt-get install ____"

[04:28] <qqx> could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/
[04:28] <cwillu> rxs, 177, although I'm actually using 180 out of a ppa to get around a window decoration distortion bug
[04:29] <Toadlips> rxs: I think my main problem is that when I'm in recovery mode, Eth0 doesn't work...

[04:29] <cwillu> Wingard, one sec, people bugging me
[04:29] <kaushal> hi
[04:29] <tyta_linux> thanks raylu
[04:29] <tyta_linux> sudo?
[04:29] <kaushal> when i do dpkg -l mysql it does not list
[04:29] <raylu> tyta_linux: of course. also, "man iptables" should help
[04:29] <marabout> !hello | kaushal
[04:29] <kaushal> is there a way i can find out
[04:29] <Toadlips> rxs: Is there a command to initialize eth0?  I tried ifconfig up
[04:29] <nickrud> kaushal, try dpkg -l '*mysql*'
[04:29] <cwillu> Wingard, are you around in a couple hours?
[04:29] <aprilhare> question: i have a graphics card that I want to shutdown whenever it gets over a critical temperature. problem is, it's whenever I'm playing a game that prevents gksudo from taking over. is there a way to force shutdown I don't know about that doesn't require su or sudo?
[04:29] <tyta_linux> my iptables keep me from accessing gmail
[04:30] <kaushal> ok
[04:30] <jrib> qqx: why are you compiling gettext?
[04:30] <Wingard> cwillu: Probably not, by then I'll probably have thrown this computer out of the window.
[04:30] <aprilhare> the command i was trying was gksudo "shutdown -h now"
[04:30] <DaveDixonII> This is the theme i want: http://live.gnome.org/Nibbles?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=nibbles.png
[04:30] <raylu> aprilhare: sudo should be sufficient for shutdown
[04:30] <[2]Blue> rxs : well, yes, it runs fast, but I think it's still missing something since if I choose "Normal" from the "visual effects" tab of the "Appearance Preferences" it won't do it, but instead says I need to update the driver to an accelerated ATI one (more precisely "xorg-driver-fglrx"), the exact driver that caused all the trouble.

[04:31] <aprilhare> the game prevents me accessing
[04:31] <raylu> aprilhare: i know :P i believe poweroff doesn't require root priveleges
[04:31] <Dexi> whats the linux unrar program?
[04:31] <jrib> qqx: what stupid instructions?  gettext is in the repositories
[04:31] <bazhang> kaushal, are you running a bot?
[04:31] <jrib> Dexi: unrar
[04:31] <aprilhare> i'll try that raylu thanks
[04:31] <Dexi> that easy?
[04:31] <kaushal> nickrud, what does un means
[04:31] <Dexi> wow i feel dumb
[04:31] <qqx> jrib why didnt  you tell me that
[04:31] <kaushal> un  mysql-server-4.1                  <none>                            (no description available)
[04:32] <Toadlips> rxs: I can't get into the Gnome failsafe mode...
[04:32] <nickrud> kaushal, no action pending, not installed
[04:32] <Logomachist> Could someone scroll up and find the last error I pasted>
[04:32] <rxs> Toadlips: yes ; sudo dhclient eth0
[04:32] <nickrud> kaushal, the text above provides the key
[04:32] <Logomachist> Booted into Windows and now I forget what went wrong.
[04:32] <Toadlips> rxs: Thanks!!!  Now it says "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[04:33] <nickrud> kaushal, the text just above the un (the lines pointing to each letter) is the documentation
[04:34] <raylu> Logomachist: sounds like you provided totally wrong arguments to grub-install

[04:34] <Semple> hey guys
[04:34] <Wingard> cwillu: Well, I'm atleast on 1024x768 now. How do I fix this silly Vesa thing?
[04:34] <raylu> rxs: installing nvidia-glx should install the latest
[04:34] <Toadlips> rsx: Thanks!!  I just discovered the Failsafe Terminal, and eth0 is kickin'!!!
[04:34] <nickrud> rxs, Toadlips that's nvidia-glx-177
[04:35] <Toadlips> rxs: I'm gonna try that!
[04:35] <cwillu> Wingard, I was wrong on that, it is running on nvidia (not vesa), but nvidia's driver isn't detecting things.  I'm currently reading documentation
[04:35] <FrozenFire> Hello. What would be the most popular application available in the Ubuntu repositories for editing AVI (XVID) video? I want to extract a few clips from some AVIs.
[04:35] <p07r0457> hello everyone.  can anyone point me towards a resource to get a PCI-E ATi Radeon HD2600XT working?
[04:35] <Toadlips> nickrud: Thanks, I'll make that change!
[04:35] <cwillu> Wingard, it didn't list anything higher than 1024x768 though?
[04:35] <Wingard> Cwillu: Nope.
[04:35] <rxs> Toadtips: yes try sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-177
[04:35] <marabout> nickrud: oh  well I'mnot having probs with it I just thought you might now a command to do it  so I could check it status
[04:35] <raylu> FrozenFire: video editing isn't exactly a popular or painless activity. google showed me a few
[04:36] <raylu> marabout: ping it from other machines?
[04:36] <adam7> !wireless > adam7
[04:37] <raylu> adam7: you can just /msg the bot
[04:37] <marabout> raylu: tried that and only got its network address "192......" my other machines are not seeing it though...
[04:37] <rxs> [2]Blue: paste here cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf  | grep composite
[04:37] <peepsalot> what is a transitional package?
[04:38] <ericjung> when i do "ls -l" I know that "d" means directory but what is "b"????
[04:38] <Flannel> peepsalot: When a package changes names between releases, the next release will have a package (transitional package) with the old name
[04:38] <Semple> !nvidia
[04:38] <Flannel> peepsalot: so people with the old package name (gaim) upgrade to the new gaim (transitional) which depends on pidgin, so they now have pidgin
[04:39] <nickrud> peepsalot, that transitional package will depend upon the new package, making sure the new one gets installed when upgrading to the new release
[04:39] <Toadlips> rxs: I'm downloading that driver even as we speak!
[04:39] <rxs> Toadlips: you will have to restart your machine once the installation completes
[04:39] <cwillu> Wingard, Option "ConnectedMonitor" "string"
[04:39] <Wingard> cwillu: What should the string be?
[04:39] <cwillu> Wingard, thinking out loud
[04:40] <Wingard> cwillu: What
[04:40] <epictetus> how do I swtich from compiz to metacity in 8.10?
[04:40] <cwillu> Option "UseEdidFreqs" "No"
[04:40] <nickrud> epictetus, alt-f2  metacity --replace  should do it
[04:40] <cwillu> Wingard, use that, otherwise edid overrides what you put in the xorg.conf file
[04:40] <shogbin> Hi, I am trying to set up a ppp dialer in 8.10 - does the user need to be added to any groups to allow access to the modem?  Right now, the gnome-ppp (wvdial) just hangs.
[04:40] <Wingard> cwillu: What section should I add it into?
[04:40] <cwillu> Wingard, device section I think
[04:40] <ChrisDavaz> Man I always have trouble setting up SCIM on Ubuntu
[04:41] <epictetus>  nickrud: is that permanent?
[04:41] <BeepII> are there any monitors that are *not* compatible with linux/ubuntu?
[04:41] <raylu> shogbin: you can find out by running it as root
[04:41] <cwillu> Wingard, there's also Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"
[04:41] <shogbin> raylu: I have not set up access or unlocking of root account yet
[04:41] <Wingard> cwillu: Restarting X and seeing what happens.
[04:41] <nickrud> epictetus, yes, until you do  alt-f2   compiz --replace
[04:41] <rxs> shogbin: i think its dialout
[04:41] <ChrisDavaz> BeepII, just about any VGA monitor should be...
[04:42] <raylu> nickrud: i think compiz starts up for him because he turned on desktop effects...
[04:42] <ChrisDavaz> BeepII, you may have issues with monitors that has special interfaces
[04:42] <raylu> shogbin: so gksu...
[04:42] <Dracie_> IMO compiz =< metacity
[04:42] <BeepII> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4349460&csid=ITD&body=REVIEWS#tabs
[04:42] <Dracie_> metacity has its own compositor
[04:42] <BeepII> Does that qualify as special interfaces?
[04:42] <nickrud> raylu, yes. This is just another method of switching to none; faster
[04:42] <Dracie_> just need to know how to start it
[04:42] <raylu> nickrud: ?
[04:42] <aprilhare> raylu, you're wrong poweroff requires root
[04:42] <raylu> aprilhare: oh :(

[04:43] <Wingard> cwillu: Still in 1024x768 and unable to go higher.
[04:43] <rxs> [2]Blue : can you pastebin cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:44] <Dracie_> Wingard, go into a terminal and do xrandr and tell me if it has any higher rez's listed
[04:44] <cwillu> Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "boolean"
[04:44] <cwillu>     Forces the initialization of the X server with the exact timings specified

[04:58] <tonyyarusso> rxs: yeah, for this one.  (some other devices don't work there, but we'll deal with thsi for now)
[04:59] <Logomachist> 2 drives. One for data the other for programs.
[04:59] <justin_> Meshezabeel, you tried running it from the command line? Were you in the same directory as the file?
[04:59] <raylu> Logomachist: ok, what are their device names? fdisk will still help you here
[04:59] <Meshezabeel> justin_ yes

[05:00] <Meshezabeel> justin_ it is opensong from: http://opensong.org/d/downloads
[05:00] <rxs> Toadlips: type control-c and kill that if it continues to hang
[05:00] <Logomachist> I'd have to boot up into Linux to run fdisk, but by memory the ext3 partition is "sdc4"

[05:02] <raylu> pg_ques: "i tried" = you tried reinstalling already?
[05:02] <raylu> !who | pg_ques
[05:02] <OmnipotentEntity> hey, does anyone know the best way to dump the contents of a file into your copy-paste buffer?
[05:02] <Toadlips> rxs:  you have been plenty of help!  I appreciate it!  I've got the eth0 working now, so I should be able to download something! :)
[05:02] <Meshezabeel> justin_ I ran the command: "file opensong" it came up with this information: "opensong: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped"
[05:02] <raylu> OmnipotentEntity: why?
[05:02] <Meshezabeel> justin_ I wonder if the problem is because I am using Ubuntu amd64
[05:02] <pg_ques> raylu: yes I tried reinstalling it and it didnt work same problem
[05:02] <Toadlips> rxs:  Have a good night!  I'm gonna troubleshoot nvidia drivers now! ;)
[05:02] <rxs> Toadlips: np ...best wishes
[05:02] <Saiki> how do you reinstall pacages?
[05:02] <Logomachist> Raylu- do you want me to switch to Linux?
[05:02] <Saiki> pacages*
[05:02] <raylu> pg_ques: oh, no idea then. haven't used pgsql much
[05:02] <Saiki> packages**
[05:03] <justin_> Meshezabeel, maybe it should still work. what does: "ls -la opensong" return
[05:03] <raylu> Logomachist: oh...
[05:03] <marabout> raylu: how do I replace gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver and how will i know if i should?
[05:03] <OmnipotentEntity> raylu, I'd like to copy the output of a program and paste it somewhere, but it's too unwieldy to copy the output from the terminal.
[05:03] <pg_ques> Saiki: I used apt-get purge and then apt-get install
[05:03] <raylu> Logomachist: you can't install grub from windows anyway...
[05:03] <rxs> tonyyarusso: how are you doing ? any progress.. i want to go offline shortly
[05:03] <ogahyellow> the issue was it was a usb drive, so it lost power yet the computer (laptop) did not.
[05:03] <Saiki> I don't want to purge them
[05:03] <Logomachist> k
[05:03] <pg_ques> raylu: same thing happened with mysql
[05:03] <Logomachist> brb
[05:03] <raylu> Logomachist: and sdc4 implies you have an sda and sdb. perhaps you're forgetting about a usb drive or something?
[05:03] <Meshezabeel> justin_ -rwxr-xr-x
[05:03] <tonyyarusso> rxs: yeah - just keep giving steps and I'll let you know if they don't work
[05:03] <pg_ques> raylu: for mysql I installed mysql-server and mysql-client
[05:03] <raylu> OmnipotentEntity: you can redirect the output of a program to many places. again, can you be more specific about where you're pasting it?
[05:04] <OmnipotentEntity> raylu, a webpage
[05:04] <raylu> OmnipotentEntity: a... pastebin?
[05:04] <OmnipotentEntity> in this case yes.
[05:04] <raylu> !info pastebinit
[05:04] <justin_> Meshezabeel, so it is excutable. when running from the command line does it give any output at all
[05:04] <OmnipotentEntity> raylu, is there a general solution though?
[05:04] <raylu> marabout: you'd have to poke the screensaver changer again. and you can just install xscreensaver
[05:04] <raylu> OmnipotentEntity: probably. one sec
[05:05] <rxs> tonyyarusso: I need feedback ... thats when I can help you ... anyway .. after that ... your gnome bt applet has to ask for password ... and u need to follow steps here after that http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices, the initial two steps are to password pair the headset with ur system .. the passcode is normally 1234 or 0000 for Jabra
[05:05] <[2]Blue> rxs : yes, thanks a lot for the help !
[05:05] <raylu> OmnipotentEntity: i think you can use "program | xsel --clipboard"
[05:05] <Meshezabeel> justin_ it simply says: "no such file or directory"
[05:06] <marabout> raylu: as in "apt-get install xscreensaver" ?
[05:06] <raylu> marabout: yes. apt-cache search xscreensaver first, because there are a few other packages with extra tasty screensavers
[05:06] <rxs> [2]Blue: good luck ...
[05:06] <justin_> Meshezabeel, it it says that then it's not finding the file
[05:06] <raylu> marabout: er, make that tasty extra screensavers
[05:06] <Meshezabeel> justin_, I just installed ia32-libs to see if that would help, it seems to now detect the program, but I get errors saying: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[05:06] <OmnipotentEntity> raylu, thanks a million. :)
[05:07] <rxs> tonyyarusso: signing off for the day .. goodluck
[05:07] <raylu> OmnipotentEntity: learned something new myself :D
[05:07] <tonyyarusso> rxs: 'k, thanks
[05:07] <marabout> raylu: extra tasty sounded better :)
[05:07] <raylu> marabout: heh
[05:09] <jesus_> hi, I've just intalled realplayer and wanted to listen to the bbc.co.uk radio, program (even though I had all restricted codecs it didn't play) but still I got a message saying I need to instal realplayer (which's already installed) Any ideas or suggestions¿
[05:09] <marabout> raylu: hmm typed in "apt-cache search xscreensaver" but not response from terminal...
[05:09] <Meshezabeel> justin_ it can now find the file, but these are the errors I now get: http://pastebin.ca/1303256
[05:09] <raylu> jesus_: could i get a link to the program?
[05:09] <jesus_> real player¿
[05:09] <jesus_> yeah
[05:10] <raylu> marabout: o.0. try "aptitude search xscreensaver"
[05:10] <raylu> jesus_: er, the radio program
[05:10] <jesus_> http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/
[05:10] <jesus_> there you are
[05:10] <raylu> jesus_: ewwwwww
[05:10] <raylu> jesus_: here i was expecting an internet radio stream
[05:11] <marabout> raylu: "o.0" ?
[05:11] <justin_> Meshezabeel, it seam like the file was linked to 32bit libraries and you ave a 64 bit system
[05:11] <jesus_> i dont have access, if I had I would've copied and pasted to the real player gui
[05:11] <raylu> marabout: it's a face :P
[05:11] <Saiki> how do you reinstall packages, without purging?
[05:11] <raylu> jesus_: try http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram in your media player
[05:12] <Meshezabeel> justin_ so does that mean I'm hooped?
[05:12] <raylu> Saiki: remove, install?
[05:12] <tritium> Saiki: sudo apt-get install --reinstall <package>
[05:12] <EDinNY> how do I restart sound?
[05:12] <jesus_> yeah, it works..
[05:12] <Saiki> tritium: I don't know the package names though
[05:12] <tritium> Saiki: what is it you want to reinstall?
[05:12] <jesus_> what I dont understand it's how it doesnt work directly from the browser....
[05:12] <spasticteapot> Does anyone here know how to get sound to work under Enemy Territory?
[05:12] <raylu> Saiki: shouldn't that have been your first question, then?
[05:13] <Saiki> tritium: spanish language support in Xubuntu hardy
[05:13]  * EDinNY just wants to reststart sound without rebooting
[05:13] <raylu> jesus_: what would you expect from a site that requires real player?
[05:13] <EDinNY> what is sound daemon called?
[05:13] <tritium> EDinNY: pulse-audio
[05:13] <jesus_> raylu... yeah that's right...
[05:13] <marabout> raylu: am I bit of a newbie. anyway got some info spit at me regarding (gl mesa) screen hacks for xscreensaver...?
[05:13] <jesus_> a pity the bbc got the best classical music ever
[05:13] <justin_> Meshezabeel, it might be difficult. I haven't had much experiece with 64bit systems. you'll some how need to install the 32bit lib files
[05:14] <raylu> marabout: video card?
[05:14] <refefer> aight mates, how can I get hibernate working on this bloody machine
[05:14] <EDinNY> tnx "sudo ./pulseaudio restart"
[05:14] <shogbin> All right, I was able to use wvdial to start a ppp connection to a dial-up provider.  I needed to tell wvdial to use the local conf file and not read the /etc/wvdial.conf file.  It seems that gnome-ppp automatically uses the /etc/wvdial.conf file which is why gnome-ppp is not connecting for me.
[05:14] <raylu> refefer: swap space, ram?
[05:14] <jesus_> thanks anyway
[05:14] <raylu> EDinNY: no ./
[05:14] <refefer> raylu, 13gbs of swap, 4gbs of ram
[05:14] <Meshezabeel> justin_ yeah, I thought that is what ia32-lib was supposed to take care of, well it seemed to take care of part of it, but not all of it.
[05:14] <raylu> refefer: overkill?
[05:14] <Logomachist> I'm back.
[05:14] <jesus_> I mean, thanks a lot rayly
[05:14] <refefer> raylu, god knows
[05:14] <jesus_> I mean, thanks a lot raylu
[05:14] <Logomachist> Raylu, you were saying?
[05:15] <EDinNY> still does not work...rebooting
[05:15] <raylu> jesus_: np :P sory i wasn't able to get it working in your browser, but it's better in a media player anyway
[05:15] <rotarychainsaw> Guys, I need help with file permissions. I need a way to change the owner of a bunch of files/folders in my home folder from root to me.
[05:15] <refefer> raylu, I do a lot of research on the machine which requires large datasets, so...
[05:15] <marabout> raylu: the dreaded: "via chrome9 hc igp"
[05:15] <raylu> Logomachist: oh
[05:15] <rotarychainsaw> Then set the permissions so GDM doesnt complain
[05:15] <Dr_willis> rotarychainsaw,  just a moment...
[05:15] <raylu> Logomachist: sudo fdisk -l
[05:15] <raylu> rotarychainsaw: chown -R $USER:USER ~
[05:15] <raylu> er
[05:15] <raylu> rotarychainsaw: chown -R $USER:$USER ~
[05:15] <refefer> any thoughts for the rest?
[05:16] <Dr_willis> rotarychainsaw,  argh0- i cant find my script that does it.. :) it basicially is wiaht raylu  says - with some extra bits.
[05:16] <raylu> refefer: oh. well, no idea, sorry
[05:16] <raylu> refefer: suspend and hibernate have always been hit or miss
[05:16] <refefer> raylu, yeah, so I've gathered
[05:16] <rotarychainsaw> Dr_willis, ok let me see here
[05:16] <justin_> Meshezabeel, I did find http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435940, so it's possible
[05:16] <refefer> strangely suspend works fine
[05:16] <Dr_willis> rotarychainsaw,  do not get 'permissions' confused with 'ownership' also :)
[05:17] <raylu> refefer: congrats
[05:17] <raylu> Dr_willis: he hasn't. gdm requires that you own your home directory
[05:17] <marabout> !CTCP-PING

[05:18] <marabout> Flannel: wondering what a ctcp-ping request was
[05:18] <earthmeLon> Hey guy, it seems I'm not gettin nick highlights in my msg/query windows, but it *is* working for #chans.  Any idea what's going on?
[05:18] <earthmeLon> Im using IRSSI*** sorry
[05:18] <raylu> Logomachist: so yeah... you have 3 hard drives
[05:18] <raylu> Logomachist: and the first two look a little... strange
[05:18] <rccu> earthmeLon: why would you want nick hilights in queries
[05:19] <Meshezabeel> justin_ thanks very much for your help! I'll see what I can do with that link.
[05:19] <earthmeLon> rccu  if someone is trying to get my attention
[05:19] <raylu> rccu: perhaps he wants beeps
[05:19] <Alysum> hello I have a 10GB disk but when I mount it and do df it says it's 4GB, how can I increase the fs please?
[05:19] <earthmeLon> rccu  I have a script that makes my computer beep and sends the msg and nick to libnotify so I can see, as well
[05:19] <raylu> !gparted | Alysum
[05:19] <marabout> Flannel: do you know what that is?
[05:19] <eseven73> earthmeLon: /help hilight
[05:19] <Alysum> nah parted says it's 10GB already so its not here the pb
[05:20] <eseven73> earthmeLon: oh its a script? hmm open the script in a text editor, usually theres instructions for running the script
[05:20] <raylu> earthmeLon: i think you need to set activity_hilight_level to include MSGS
[05:20] <rotarychainsaw> raylu, thanks for chown, seems to be ok. You know what home folder should be set to permission wise? 644 I think
[05:20] <raylu> eseven73: the script works, hilighting in msgs doesn't
[05:20] <rccu> earthmeLon: have you added `/hilight yournick` ?
[05:21] <raylu> rotarychainsaw: rwxr-xr-x
[05:21] <sumit> hello i have problem when i update my apt-get by sudo apt-get update
[05:21] <earthmeLon> rccu  raylu eseven73 My highlights work in channels, just not queries.  I think raylu is on the right track
[05:21] <Flannel> marabout: Its nothing to worry about.  You got it from freenode yes?
[05:21] <liye> Hello guys, anybody get HDAPS worked on thinkpad?
[05:21] <eseven73> earthmeLon: yes theres a millions settings if you type /set

[05:21] <raylu> eross: er...wait
[05:21] <rccu> earthmeLon: have you added `/hilight yournick` ?
[05:22] <ScottG489> I'm trying to get files from ubuntu into XP in VBox. I'm trying through the network but I get this error when I try to move the files "Operation not supported by backend". Do you know why its saying that error message? Or is there any other way to get the files to the virtual machine besides over the internet?
[05:22] <raylu> earthmeLon: if you turn off hilight_nick_matches and turn /hilight yournick, you'll have queries too
[05:22] <earthmeLon> rccu I say again: My highlights work for chans
[05:22] <Logomachist> The first 2 are mirrored RAID drives

[05:23] <Flannel> marabout: right, its just something that happens everytime you connect from freenode-connect
[05:24] <provo1> need help please, I have something weird happening, after I delete a file or directory and deleting files with nautilus the files are being put into a hidden folder as ".Trash-0/"

[05:25] <Flannel> !upgrade | sumit
[05:25] <ScottG489> eseven73: yea Im pretty sure they are
[05:25] <justin_> sumit, does "ping in.archive.ubuntu.com" show that the dest is reachable?
[05:25] <raylu> tenX: ...
[05:26] <eseven73> ScottG489: ok because it is not enabled by default
[05:27] <sumit> justin_,  its pinging

[05:28] <eseven73> is raylu  a bot? he's answering like 20 questions at once
[05:28] <cowbud> unix: install amarok and be done with it WHAT
[05:28] <eseven73> j/k raylu :P you the man
[05:28] <tenX> raylu: wow, ubottu obeys your commands. your a man of powers
[05:28] <justin_> sumit, can you post /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin
[05:28] <raylu> i guessed at those last two, actually
[05:28] <sumit> justin_, dest is reachable
[05:29] <sumit> justin_,
[05:29] <sumit> ya sure
[05:29] <sumit> justin_, ya sure
[05:29] <spionlala> i got an Iso here i already burned in Windows and which generally works, MD5Sum correct etc!
[05:29] <Flannel> sumit: You need to move your sources to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu (the upgrade page gives an example), then you'll be able to
[05:29] <spionlala> BUT im unable to open it in Ubuntu, i get this in isomaster for example: "First volume descriptor type not primary like ISO9660 requires "
[05:30] <raylu> Logomachist: ack, sorry. mount sdc4
[05:30] <Braveyard> hi guys...this is my first post...i got a problem with my firefox..and i am totally new to linux..
[05:30] <raylu> Logomachist: also... fdisk is complaining about the layout of sdc in general...
[05:30] <qqx> can anyone please explain to me why im getting this error???????????::: configure: error: gtk+ >= 2.10 is required
[05:31] <karlp> because you need gtk+ > 2.10
[05:31] <rccu> qqx: because you do not have gtk+ new enough version
[05:31] <k4hj> qqx, O_o
[05:31] <Braveyard> my firefox closes itself, 30min. ago i have installed ubuntu on my system
[05:31] <ScottG489> raylu: yea someone else suggested that. I got ssh on this computer, but how to I use that to transfer files to the vm?
[05:31] <qqx> gtk comes with ubuntu
[05:31] <rccu> Braveyard: that's an Ubuntu feature. it's just for security to close web browser once in a while
[05:31] <sumit> justin_, pasted
[05:31] <qqx> it is required for gnome and used heavily
[05:31] <raylu> ScottG489: not ssh, sshd. install openssh-server and connect to it from the vm
[05:31] <Flannel> rccu: Please don't make stuff up.
[05:32] <Braveyard> rccu: what r u serious?
[05:32] <k4hj> rccu, rofl
[05:32] <sumit> Flannel, actually right now i cant upgrade ... so i am thinking about another solution if i do not get any thing else then i will upgrade
[05:32] <justin_> sumit, is there a reason your using: in.archive.ubuntu.com? what location is that?
[05:32] <Tobby-Oslo> anyone know how i can watch network traffice on how much i have used? KDE4,networkmanager 0.7 og uses cellphone 3g ttyacm0?
[05:32] <spionlala> If we had that feature in Windows noone would have Viruses
[05:33] <qqx> can anyone please explain to me why im getting this error???????????::: configure: error: gtk+ >= 2.10 is required
[05:33] <Tekno> you must install development libs for gtk+
[05:33] <Braveyard> my firefox closes itself, 30min. ago i have installed ubuntu on my system
[05:34] <hml> i'm running ubuntu; with vmware + windows on top of ubuntu. I need a way to share a folder on my windows machine & access it on ubuntu. what is the easiest way to achieve this?
[05:34] <qqx> where do i install development libs
[05:34] <raylu> Braveyard: try "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-bak"
[05:34] <sumit> justin_, i dont know about location n no any reason its just repository
[05:34] <raylu> qqx: look in the repositories for gtk-dev
[05:34] <Tobby-Oslo> anyone know how i can watch network traffice on how much i have used? KDE4,networkmanager 0.7 og uses cellphone 3g ttyacm0?
[05:35] <Tobby-Oslo> I'm on cellhpone and paying by the KB:(
[05:35] <Logomachist> raylu: Umm, what exactly do I type- "mount -t /dev/sdc4" ?
[05:35] <eseven73> Tobby-Oslo: ntop or iptraf
[05:35] <raylu> qqx: i think you want libgtk2.0-dev. what are you installing, anyway?
[05:35] <qqx> raylu there's nothing but a bunch of prefixed garbage
[05:35] <raylu> Logomachist: cd /media
[05:35] <Meshezabeel> justin_, well it seems to work if I replace the /usr/lib/ 64-bit libraries with 32-bit libraries, but it does not seem to want to pull the libraries from /usr/lib32, I know that replacing the libs in /usr/lib will undoubtedly bork other stuff
[05:35] <raylu> Logomachist: sudo mkdir sdc4
[05:35] <eseven73> iptraf rocks
[05:35] <raylu> Logomachist: sudo mount /dev/sdc4 sdc4
[05:35] <unix> can anyone explain to me howto sync with an ipod between amarok?
[05:36] <Logomachist> sudo mkdir sdc4
[05:36] <Logomachist> oops
[05:36] <Zombie_Gaz> is there a specific channel to ask apache / httpd questions in?
[05:36] <raylu> Logomachist: heh. welcome to linux
[05:36] <Flannel> Zombie_Gaz: this one will work, you can also try #ubuntu-server.  If it's an in depth apache question (about its internals, etc) you may try #apache
[05:36] <marabout> can anyone help me access a mac network using hardy?
[05:36] <qqx> there's no such thing as " libgtk2.0-dev"
[05:37] <justin_> Meshezabeel, yeah, overwriting /usr/lib/ with 32bit versions would kill your system.
[05:37] <Zombie_Gaz> My apache2 server is running fine... but when I restart it I get two errors... one is 'determine the server's fully qualified domain name

[05:38] <Zombie_Gaz> My apache2 server is running fine... but when I restart it I get two errors... one is 'determine the server's fully qualified domain name'. Not really worried about that. Other one is that it '(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[05:38] <Tobby-Oslo> eseven73, thank you, unfotunaly none of those are installed, and 5mb is 10euro on my 3g:(
[05:38] <Zombie_Gaz> sorry about the double there
[05:38] <Meshezabeel> justin_ is there some sort of path setting that I should be adding the /usr/lib32 to?
[05:38] <Flannel> Zombie_Gaz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting%20Apache gives instructions on solving that
[05:38] <Logomachist> raylu: Now what?
[05:38] <jkiukiuliuui> qqx: man, you are so fucked...I have been tryed to install that and now I get it.
[05:38] <Zombie_Gaz> Flannel: thanks... you mean the 'can't determine server fully domain' or the bind?
[05:38] <k4hj> http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xliska/img/windowmaker-linux.jpg << how can i display those terms in the background showing the logs
[05:38] <Flannel> jkiukiuliuui: Please watch your language

[05:39] <qqx> jkiukiuliuui, what?
[05:39] <tenX> Zombie_Gaz: not sure about that error.. but to me it sounds like a faulty site config
[05:39] <raylu> Logomachist: sudo grub-install /dev/sdc --root-directory /media/sdc4
[05:39] <raylu> Logomachist: oops
[05:39] <raylu> Logomachist: sudo grub-install /dev/sdc --root-directory=/media/sdc4
[05:39] <Zombie_Gaz> rxs: no
[05:39] <razer> I'm dual ubuntu and kubuntu I want to delete the kubuntu partition is there an easy way to do this?
[05:40] <justin_> Meshezabeel, there is a lib path search but I think that only works when compiling.
[05:40] <saler> ), wt happened if i execute apt-get install ubuntu-desktop is change my OS from server to desktop !!!!!!!!
[05:40] <Tobby-Oslo> razer, gparted
[05:40] <rxs> saler: yes .. what do you wnat to do ?
[05:40] <tenX> razer: of course you can simply access and format it
[05:40] <Logomachist> raylu: That produces the error "mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/sdc4/boot': No such file or directory"
[05:41] <qqx> jkiukiuliuui, what have you been trying to install?
[05:41] <razer> Tobby-Oslo, how do I fix GRUB?

[05:48] <rxs> saler: okay ... i see that you have the regular kernei .. but u just want the server kernel with gnome right ?
[05:48] <Zombie_Gaz> Another question... again on apache2: how would I create a custom 404 error page?
[05:48] <Hector> Netsplit. D:
[05:48] <jkiukiuliuui> qqx, open synaptic, then click devlopment libraries, then click fast search and write libtgtk. then there will be libgtk2.0 click on it and accept any dependencies and install....did you get it?
[05:48] <saler> rxs,ys
[05:48] <tenX> kattollikisd: i will sell it to you
[05:48] <rxs> Braveyard: yes
[05:48] <karthik_> rxs:yeah i'm doing some programing related to ubuntu desktop features related to workspaces... before that i'm interested in knowing how it is implemented in ubuntu actual source code..
[05:49]  * raylu loves /lastlog
[05:49] <Braveyard> rxs, u think that solve thr problem?
[05:49] <kattollikisd> tenX, jejeje I don't know how I gonna give you the $$... but cool
[05:49] <tenX> kattollikisd: good price, dont worry ;)
[05:50] <qqx> where the h*ll is developement libraries?
[05:50] <razer> usually the first ubuntu istanll partitions your hard drive as 1, 5 and 7 right?
[05:50] <rxs> Braveyard: try .. it might
[05:50] <Braveyard> ok
[05:50] <kattollikisd> tenX, jajaja.... the question is "How I gonna give you the $$? " :P
[05:50] <Logomachist> raylu: (repeating this b/c I think you missed it) Wasn't in the right directory when I entered mkdir. Just fixed it and attempted to mount as you instructed. Still getting an error though: "Could not find device for /media/sdc4/boot: Not found or not a block device."
[05:50] <rxs> Saler: can you go ahed and install gnome the way I specified ?
[05:50] <razer> I can't figure out which partitions belong to which install
[05:50] <justin_> sumit, well from what i see. http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/ doesn't exist on the server.
[05:50] <tenX> kattollikisd: but hey i dont know. it shouldnt be hard to find though. got no ubuntu desktop system in reach to look it up for you
[05:50] <Zyclops> is there a list somewhere of the characters you are allowed to use in the usernames in ubuntu?
[05:50] <justin_> sumit, that's why you're getting the error
[05:50] <saler> rxs, k
[05:51] <Zyclops> because i tried .-_ and they are all not alloweed
[05:51] <kattollikisd> tenX, jejeje :P  thanks man :P
[05:51] <rxs> Saler: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop ; apt-get install gnome
[05:51] <saler> rxs , :)
[05:51] <justin_> sumit, you could use a different mirror by changing your sources.list, I'll post one.....
[05:51] <raylu> Logomachist: could you paste the grub-install command you're using?
[05:52] <razer> which partitions do I delete to get rid of this dual boot?
[05:52] <raylu> Logomachist: and yes, i missed it. you didn't put my name in there :P
[05:52] <qqx> where the h*ll is developement libraries?
[05:52] <qqx> how do i install the libnotify package
[05:52] <raylu> qqx: what are you compiling?
[05:52] <qqx> oh nevermind got it
[05:52] <Logomachist> raylu: sudo grub-install /dev/sdc --root-directory=/media/sdc4
[05:52] <rxs> karthik_: so you wnat to work with gnome workspace ?
[05:53] <karthik_> rxs: yeah
[05:53] <raylu> Logomachist: is there a /media/sdc4/boot?
[05:53] <Logomachist> There is
[05:53] <lechamp10> why terminal looks blank and I cannot see the text
[05:53] <tenX> kattollikisd: payment still pending.. scandolous!
[05:54] <lechamp10> ??
[05:54] <Logomachist> raylu: There is.
[05:54] <rxs> Karthink: you can download sources directy in your ubuntu box using apt-get
[05:54] <Baz_> my computer is randomly freezing after some use - is there anyway to find out what is the culprit through ubuntu - or whether it is maybe some driver in ubntu?
[05:55] <sumit> justin_, which one should i use
[05:55] <echinos> !suspend
[05:55] <raylu> Logomachist: hm... maybe i've forgotten
[05:55] <rxs> Katrthik_: sudo apt-get source name)fPackage
[05:55] <raylu> Logomachist: sudo grub-install /dev/sdc --root-directory=/media/sdc4/boot/
[05:55] <echinos> !hibernate
[05:55] <Toadlips> rxs: what are you doing awake?
[05:55] <tenX> Baz_: issues like that will never have a general solution

[05:56] <rxs> Toadlips: its my Bday Today Jan 8th .. so my frnds woke me up again :)
[05:56] <kattollikisd> tenX, jejeje  :P
[05:56] <justin_> sumit, hold on I'm pasting it
[05:56] <Dexi> tenX: yeah it appears so. but he is pretty good. lots of useful info.
[05:56] <karthik_> rxs: could u tell where can i get the source files
[05:56] <Dexi> !info
[05:56] <raylu> Logomachist: right... that's what i thought. you don't need the boot or the trailing slash. i'm confused now
[05:56] <Baz_> tenX: i know and its making me sad, but maybe i can start by looking at some logs or running some commands to see what the computer was trying to do before freezing?
[05:56] <Toadlips> rxs: Happy birthday, then!  :)
[05:57] <Logomachist> raylu: lol. That makes two of us.
[05:57] <lechamp10> how to fix terminal that does not work, text could not be seen
[05:57] <leonut> test
[05:57] <lechamp10> ??
[05:57] <tenX> Baz_: does it freeze using linux only?
[05:57] <rxs> Toadtips: so thought will add some karma :)
[05:57] <rxs> Toadtips: thanks
[05:57] <Baz_> tenX: haven't tested windows
[05:57] <raylu> Logomachist: whta's in /media/sdc4/boot?
[05:57] <tenX> Baz_: and how does it freeze
[05:58] <qqx> raylu: or anyone : im trying to install BlueZ firmware: http://www.bluez.org/download/
[05:58] <tenX> Dexi: he's good, but virgin.
[05:58] <saler> rxs, E:dpkg was interrupted,u must manually run dpkg --reconfigure -a error  after apt-get install gnome
[05:58] <qqx> how do i do it?

[05:58] <Dexi> tenX: wtf...
[05:58] <tenX> Dexi: ubottu
[05:58] <Dexi> tenx: yeah i got that part, lol
[05:58] <rxs> saler:  sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a
[05:58] <raylu> Logomachist: oh... you should probably rm -r the boot in boot
[05:59] <sumit> justin_, ya sure take u time
[05:59] <lechamp10> fix terminal??
[05:59] <tenX> Dexi: i'm glad ;)

[05:59] <justin_> sumit, pastbin thinks it's spam! trying another place
[05:59] <Roasted> Question for you Amarok users. What output engine are you using? Autodetect? Alsa? Pulse?
[05:59] <tenX> Dexi: i never pay attention to virgins
[05:59] <Baz_> tenX: its the purest freeze you could imagine, i am would working on something then the mouse and keyboard and OS stop responding, the image freezes wherever it was at - there are no sounds or msg's or anything

[06:00] <qqx> how do i do it?
[06:00] <raylu> justin_: note that he's on feisty...
[06:01] <Roasted> Nobody uses Amarok?
[06:01] <saler> rxs,unknown option !!
[06:01] <Logomachist> raylu: I found this webpage earlier when I searched the inet. The steps in post #2 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=f4d3075d112506fa769ddf59975af81d&p=3049326&postcount=2) didn't fix the problem. Will continue reading thge posts after it.
[06:01] <Dexi> tenX: I hope thats all i arose.
[06:01] <raylu> qqx: bluez is in the repositories...
[06:01] <tenX> Baz_: hmm ever tried booting the machine console based? could the crash relate to video driver issues?
[06:01] <rxs> saler: sudo apt-get -f install
[06:01] <qqx> raylu are all of the blueZ packages in the repositories?
[06:02] <justin_> raylu, I changed it to feisty
[06:02] <raylu> qqx: no idea. never used it. take a look
[06:02] <MrNaz> can software raid5 arrays have 6 disks providing n-1 capacity with n+1 redundancy? ie, can you have a 6 disk array with 5 disks' capacity ?
[06:02] <Baz_> tenX: i would love to be able to test that out, thing is i cant reliably reproduce it without just using it for like 10 mins
[06:02] <raylu> justin_: oh.
[06:02] <Roasted> AMAROKKKKKKKKK
[06:02] <qqx> NO
[06:02] <Baz_> tenX: is that a clue?
[06:02] <tenX> Dexi: you should feel decorated. your reaction leaves me puzzled

[06:02] <qqx> how do i install this firmware
[06:03] <qqx> why does ubuntu have to be so difficult
[06:03] <raylu> MrNaz: you can have 4 disks' capacity, i believe
[06:03] <rxs> saler: sudo apt-get install -f
[06:03] <tenX> Baz_: i cant tell but i'd try "text mode"
[06:03] <Roasted> Ubuntu is not difficult. It's just different.
[06:03] <Soorlag> Hi everybody.. i need my mic to be standard input device.. how do i configure that?!
[06:03] <saler> rxs,same as before
[06:03] <Baz_> tenX: maybe i should call geek squad :-0
[06:03] <rxs> Roasted: what evrsion of ubuntu are u using ?
[06:03] <Roasted> 8.10 64 bit
[06:03] <rxs> saler; gimme a few min
[06:04] <raylu> Baz_: and ask them to install firefox. for ~$40
[06:04] <saler> rxs,k
[06:04] <tenX> Soorlag: if anyone in here can tell you with backgrounded info i will be that guys slave
[06:04] <ksa-24> اهلا
[06:04] <marabout> raylu: about switching from gnome to xscreensaver after i do the "apt-cache search...." what's next?
[06:04] <Roasted> why do you ask, rxs?
[06:04] <raylu> marabout: just install it
[06:04] <ksa-24> hi
[06:04] <rxs> Roasted: does pulse-audio work for you ?
[06:04] <raylu> !arabic | ksa-24
[06:05] <Soorlag> tenX k, im Using Hardy, Alsamixer and have SoundBlaster 5.1 running
[06:05] <qqx> could anyone help solve this riddle? http://paste.ubuntu.com/102042/
[06:05] <rxs> Roasted: else use alsa .. works ...
[06:05] <sumit> justin_, thanks ... i am trying with it
[06:05] <marabout> raylu: ok will try it
[06:05] <Roasted> rxs - I assume pulse audio works. I mean, I never did anything to change my sound settings.
[06:05] <raylu> qqx: again, it's in the repositories. aptitude search bluez
[06:06] <raylu> Roasted: a very bad assumption
[06:06] <qqx> raylu, again the BlueZ firmware is not in the repositories
[06:06] <Roasted> rxs - the only thing I did was I have to select my PCI sound card to be used in Ubuntu, because I leave my onboard card activated since Vista lovlingly doesnt support my PCI sound card. So I essentially use onboard for Vista, PCI sound card for Ubuntu. Only trick is I need to select it when I boot up.
[06:06] <tenX> Soorlag: unfortunately i cant be really helpful. i've played around with linux sound, sound daemons, also, oss a lot but never discovered a path to travel
[06:06] <rxs> Roasted: PA has been a bit odd in 8.10
[06:06] <raylu> qqx: yes it is
[06:06] <Roasted> raylu - then how do I figure out if pulse audio works? I mean, why is that a bad assumption? My sound worked. It was fine. I had no problems. SOMETHING obviously worked.
[06:06] <Roasted> I just don't understand why I had to change my output engine in Amarok just now.
[06:06] <raylu> Roasted: oh. it used to work :P
[06:07] <tenX> Soorlag: it worked out for me but still is a ridicule. imho sound support for linux is an inside job
[06:07] <raylu> Roasted: i said it's a bad assumption because it doesn't work out of the box for some people
[06:07] <rxs> Roasted: paste output for terminal: asoundconf list
[06:07] <bc_> Hello friends.
[06:07] <Roasted> raylu - all of my sound settings (except capture) are auto detect, soooo...
[06:07] <Logomachist> raylu: Looking at the webpage, I think I should be typing: "cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /media/sdc4/boot/grub ". Is that correct?
[06:07] <bc_> I have a quick question about installing Ubuntu.
[06:07] <Soorlag> tenX but defining standard input shouldn be that difficult (i hope)
[06:07] <ksa-24> hi
[06:07] <raylu> Logomachist: i think so. never done it myself :P
[06:07] <qqx> raylu what is it in medibuntu or something?
[06:07] <Roasted> CMI8768 and Intel
[06:07] <Roasted> Intel is onboard, CMI8768 is my PCI Sound card
[06:07] <raylu> !info bluez
[06:07] <bc_> Is it possible to install it over the top of an existing Linux installation while it's running?
[06:08] <Roasted> no
[06:08] <raylu> qqx: so... no. it's in main
[06:08] <bc_> Gotta boot up the LiveCD?
[06:08] <Roasted> yes
[06:08] <bc_> Yes to me?
[06:08] <Roasted> you can upgrade it while its running, but not do a fresh install
[06:08] <Roasted> bc - yes
[06:08] <tenX> Soorlag: sorry - i had a shitty soundcard and that might have been the matter - but i always ran into trouble exactly with input
[06:08] <bc_> ah, ok.
[06:08] <raylu> bc_: ubuntu requires a format of /
[06:08] <raylu> bc_: i suppose it may be possibly possible with gentoo...
[06:08] <bc_> I'm trying to get off RHEL 5 because I'm sick of rpms and dependency hell.
[06:08] <Baz_> tenX: is there some obvious things i can look for in the logs?
[06:08] <ScottG489> How do I see what my internal IP address is in ubuntu?
[06:08] <Logomachist> raylu: That gives me " cannot create regular file `/media/sdc4/boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5': Permission denied"
[06:09] <tenX> Soorlag: i dont understand a lot about sound devices and standards
[06:09] <bc_> I don't mind formatting /
[06:09] <tenX> Baz_: ifconfig?
[06:09] <bc_> I mean, I'm going to hose the whole box.
[06:09] <raylu> bc_: you might be more comfortable with fedora, then
[06:09] <raylu> Logomachist: of course. sudo
[06:09] <kole> I try to format as much as possible... keep things clean
[06:09] <bc_> No no, I'm going to be putting my RHEL stuff in a VM.
[06:09] <raylu> bc_: why..?
[06:09] <tenX> Baz_: internal meaning?
[06:09] <qqx> raylu what packages are it
[06:09] <Roasted> When I select my sound inputs to be pulseaudio sound server and hit test, I hear sound. but amarok set to pulseaudio does not play sound.
[06:09] <Logomachist> Ok that seems to have worked.
