[00:00] <dazjorz> devilinops: if you put my nickname in front of your messages when responding to me, it helps me notice your messages earlier
[00:00] <hischild> Paddy_EIRE, there's no real profile about him on there. he only gave it so we can check his pc. I understand your reluctance on it, but he is allowed to do so.
[00:00] <Paddy_EIRE> dazjorz, yeah..  I am planning a system for providing help and support more efficiently over IRC
[00:00] <dazjorz> devilinops: do not just PM me.
[00:00] <watermelonstorm> !enter | watermelonstorm
[00:00] <watermelonstorm> Intresting.
[00:00] <modumass> tripps, indeed, so its like i have a small monitor and no matter what i do i cant get ubuntu to believe me
[00:00] <hischild> nordin, yes, it is possible.
[00:00] <ziroday> watermelonstorm: do you have a question we can help you with?
[00:00] <dazjorz> Paddy_EIRE: sounds good. want to have a chat? :)
[00:00] <Paddy_EIRE> hischild, yeah except the ads and "xfire" and all that :)
[00:00] <watermelonstorm> Well, yep.
[00:00] <nordin> hischild, if you wirte software, do you look what kind of CPU your app will run on. No!
[00:00] <Paddy_EIRE> dazjorz, I am in offtopic
[00:01] <hischild> nordin, don't make me call stop on this
[00:01] <nordin> that's up to the compiler
[00:01] <ziroday> watermelonstorm: may we know your question?
[00:01] <nordin> hischild, ok maybe next time on a another channel
[00:01] <rockinWorlds> Spoonfeeding is sweet, can someone spoonfeed me a guide to dual booting ubuntu & linux?
[00:01] <mker> I have a problem with changing home directory for user accounts used for SSH (more specifically the SFTP part of SSH).  Can someone take a look at my thread in the forum please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002948
[00:01] <devilinops> dazjorz: sorry pm thos os beter but ya iv tryed all versond and brunt like 4 disk for all and still frezzes in 3 min after login
[00:01] <ziroday> !dualboot | rockinWorlds
[00:01] <watermelonstorm> The problem is: I always have to stick in headphone cable into line-out after logging on to make only the headphones play sound.
[00:01] <dazjorz> nordin: what's the problem?
[00:02] <dazjorz> devilinops: could you try writing readable English for me please?
[00:02] <rockinWorlds> ubottu: thanks for the spoonfeeding!
[00:02] <ziroday> watermelonstorm: you mean you have to replug them everytime?
[00:02] <devilinops> im sorry im using erganomic key board still geting use to it
[00:03] <watermelonstorm> dazjorz: "Sorry, these are better but I've tried all versions and wasted 4 CD-Rs for it. It freezes 3 minutes after login.
[00:03] <nordin> dazjorz, there is no problem, it's just hischild doesn't believe an app that runs on 64 bits processor will run on a 32 bits. But your OS just did :p
[00:03] <watermelonstorm> ziroday: Yep, I always have to replug them.
[00:03] <emilien> watermelonstorm,  you do an md5 check ?
[00:03] <watermelonstorm> ziroday: Only one time, but it sucks.
[00:03] <DasEi> modumass: ?
[00:04] <ziroday> watermelonstorm: okay, if you open up the volume control do you see any tabs titled "switches"?
[00:04] <watermelonstorm> I turned that on manually.
[00:04] <watermelonstorm> Yes, I've got Headphone on.
[00:04] <refefer> anyone know of an automatic tool I can download that ban people who try to bruteforce my ssh?
[00:04] <Flannel> refefer: check out DenyHosts (its in the repos)
[00:04] <topi> refefer: fail2ban
[00:04] <dazjorz> nordin: no: you can compile a program for several architectures, for example i386 or x86_64 - programs compiled for 64-bits processors (i.e. x86_64) will run only on 64-bits processors, programs compiled for 32-bits processors will run on both.
[00:05] <dazjorz> nordin: but, on 64-bits processors, they will not be optimal for that processor. :)
[00:05] <watermelonstorm> Well, I've a got a bigger problem:
[00:05] <tripps> modumass, it definitely seems to try harder to play the movie, i.e., it pauses longer and a screen briefly displays with the wide screen aspect ratio but then back to the same messages/behavior I had before
[00:05] <dazjorz> nordin: so actually I'm being stupid running a 32-bits Ubuntu on my PC, because the 64-bits Ubuntu will run a lot better, but I'm too lazy to make the switch now.
[00:05] <nordin> dazjorz, if so, why are there several compilers for each architecture
[00:05] <watermelonstorm> ziroday: Totem always crashes when I attempt to play a media file.
[00:06] <watermelonstorm> os[Linux 2.6.27-9-generic i686] distro[Ubuntu "intrepid" 8.10] cpu[2 x Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU      T2350  @ 1.86GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1.86GHz] mem[Physical: 2.0GB, 80.7% free] disk[Total: 45.6GB, 88.9% free] video[ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon X2300] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel]
[00:06] <ziroday> watermelonstorm: okay, when you run it in the terminal is there any errors?
[00:06] <dazjorz> nordin: there aren't, compilers are programs of their own, they are compiled for a specific architecture too - but as a special added value to compilers, they are also compiled *to compile* for a special architecture
[00:06] <nordin> each compiler compiles source for their platform and so it optimizes it
[00:06] <Quagmire> I got my xchat server issue resolved and I'm tickled with that ...now I need a new thing to tackle LOL ....Tell me something fun to check out about ubuntu.
[00:06] <Flannel> nordin, dazjorz: mind taking it elsewhere? It's sort of veered off topic.  Thanks
[00:07] <nordin> Flannel, ok sorry about that
[00:07] <dazjorz> Flannel: sure.
[00:07] <dazjorz> nordin: PM okay?
[00:07] <watermelonstorm> ziroday: Now it works again, looks like an Update fixed it.
[00:07] <nordin> ok
[00:07] <ziroday> watermelonstorm: great
[00:08] <rockinWorlds> Is it recommended to install Vista normally, and then shrink its partition, and then afterwards to install Ubuntu?
[00:08] <tripps> mmm now that I've reactivated medibuntu repos, etc., the update manager doesn't let me upgrade them and displayed a dialog telling me I could perform a partial upgrade. how do I apply these other updates?
[00:08] <rockinWorlds> I want this dual boot to work perfectly this time around
[00:08] <watermelonstorm> rockinWorlds: Well, that's how I did it.
[00:08] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, its never recommended to install vista at all
[00:08] <dlew86> lewl
[00:08] <watermelonstorm> Paddy_EIRE: If you need to use it..
[00:08] <rockinWorlds> Paddy_EIRE: lol good point
[00:09] <Paddy_EIRE> watermelonstorm, I dont create the need to use it
[00:09] <Paddy_EIRE> ;)
[00:09] <coppro> okay, this has been a point of irritation for a while
[00:09] <x-ip> ou ... passwords, all is about passwords
[00:09] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, 1 sec
[00:09] <coppro> some applications, notably firefox, in the file dialogs, have an irritating auto-complete feature
[00:09] <watermelonstorm> ziroday: I already installed Ubuntu multiple times (7.something, 8.04, 8.10), and I like it.
[00:09] <DasEi> rockinWorlds: just leave space for ubuntu when installing vista
[00:09] <coppro> namely, they will complete paths as I type them
[00:10] <coppro> I type /u, it adds "sr", and I end up with /usrsr/binin/okularlar or some equally stupid path
[00:10] <coppro> how do I turn that off?
[00:10] <danielbw> I have the latest catalyst drivers, 8.12 installed on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 for amd64.  I bought two ATI FireGL V3600's so I can stretch one big desktop across four monitors.  I am only able to setup two big desktops: one per gpu, but with two screens each.  There is no way to join all four screens to one big desktop.  How can I set it up so that i can have one big desktop across all four monitors without enabing xinerama?
[00:10] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, this is the best dual booting guide available at the moment.. http://apcmag.com/the_definitive_dualbooting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp_stepbystep.htm
[00:10] <Watkins> I Have a question, everyone tells me 'your mime.types" for my problem, but no one can give me a damned answer. My server, I am hosting a webpage, when you load it instead of loading the page it tries to download it, anyone know a fix for this problem? I've re-installed php, apache2, all of that
[00:10] <rockinWorlds> DasEi: This will be my third attempt at getting it install perfectly, last time it was perfect and then moutherboard failure
[00:10] <hischild> coppro, don't use your arrow keys, keep on typing.
[00:10] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, Just select your install type and it will give you the appropriate guide :)
[00:10] <coppro> hischild: no, that's exactly what I do
[00:11] <coppro> and it fills in the path like I described
[00:11] <alexis1_> hi all
[00:11] <coppro> in the middle of me trying to type it
[00:11] <bobbob1016> I have a drive that was working before a reinstall, from 64 to 32bit, since I was told coreavc was better with 32, and one of my drives doesn't show files, but it does say 6gig free, which was what it had before.  I tried show hidden, but no luck.  Any ideas?
[00:11] <devilinops> thanks for not helping me at all id have better help by shouting my self then sit here for another hour
[00:11] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, Start as you mean to go on.. use reliable guides and sources of information
[00:12] <mrwes> hrmmm...whining?
[00:12] <Paddy_EIRE> mrwes, ?
[00:12] <mrwes> sorry....
[00:12] <tripps> oh it's a distribution upgrade it wants to do. i think i'll leave that for later ;)
[00:12] <richard_> how do i see   if permissions for /media and /media/cdrom0 are correct?
[00:12] <Frogging101> how do you connect 2 ubuntu computers with ssh? The computers can't seem to find each other. I am using a crossover cable, and the network connection won't work.
[00:12] <Quagmire> evolution or thunderbird email client?
[00:12] <Paddy_EIRE> richard_, correct?
[00:12] <rockinWorlds> Paddy_EIRE: Many of them seem to not work for my system
[00:12] <Quagmire> evolution or thunderbird email client?
[00:13] <mrwes> richard_, from nautilus, right mouse button the directory
[00:13] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, you will normally find its PICNIC
[00:13] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, Problem In Chair Not In Computer (PICNIC) :)
[00:13] <Quagmire> oops sorry for the double posting
[00:14] <templaedhel> okay, so I have ubuntu 8.10 and a dell inspiron e1505, and when I close the lid the screen doesn't shut off, but when I open it it turns of briefly then back on, like its just realizing the lid was closed
[00:14] <richard_> mrwes , i know that, but i mean.. is it right that i cannot create and delete without loging as root or sudo in terminal?
[00:14] <rockinWorlds> Paddy_EIRE: lol... i've read many headaches people have with Dells
[00:14] <infosoak> I see a directory call .aptitude in my home directory (~). Not sure what that is. Anyone know?
[00:14] <Frogging101> how do I connect 2 ubuntu computers with ssh/puTTY? The computers can't seem to find each other. I am using a crossover cable, and the network connection won't work.
[00:15] <ultratek> anyone: if i got back to windows and shrink my hardisk some more for unallocated space....can i add this to my ubuntu partition with disk mngmt in vista 32?
[00:15] <Paddy_EIRE> rockinWorlds, I have been *Incredibly* lucky then I guess O_o
[00:15] <D3RGPS31> Anyone willing to help me setup Polipo?
[00:15] <Paddy_EIRE> !anyone | D3RGPS31
[00:15] <Gnea> Frogging101: no network, no ssh.
[00:15] <cellofellow> I've got this old computer with an onboard Matrox MGA G200 and whenever X starts up it freezes, only thing that works is hard shutdown. How do I get X working?
[00:16] <D3RGPS31> Paddy_EIRE: the question was asked
[00:16] <dazjorz> hischild, nordin, Paddy_EIRE: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106447 <-- there we go. The bug was already reported by someone else :)
[00:16] <carpii> is it possible to replace the common file open dialog which most kde apps use ?
[00:16] <carpii> or some way to find out what it is using
[00:16] <ultratek> dazjorz: do you know..up a lil?
[00:16] <Frogging101> Gnea: Well, how do I setup a network between the two? It won't work. No error messages, except "network disconnected"
[00:16] <Gnea> D3RGPS31: no one's going to scrollback with all of the traffic going on here, you're better off just to re-ask.
[00:16] <Paddy_EIRE> D3RGPS31, try and be a bit more specific we will help you help yourself as you go..
[00:17] <Gnea> Frogging101: are you sure you have the correctly wired ethernet crossover cable?
[00:17] <dazjorz> ultratek: no, Vista does not recognise non-Microsoft filesystems
[00:17] <dazjorz> ultratek: even, I don't think Vista's disk manager can resize its own partitions on the fly
[00:17] <Frogging101> Gnea: It works when I connect with one computer using windows, including internet sharing.
[00:17] <ultratek> dazjorz:well can i add the unallocate space with linux partition app?
[00:18] <dazjorz> ultratek: though if you shut down Vista correctly, you can resize the NTFS partition from inside Linux, ntfsresize can do that. Be careful though, back up all your data, it goes wrong sometimes.
[00:18] <dazjorz> ultratek: yes, there are ext3 resizing applications which do just that :)
[00:18] <Gnea> Frogging101: is it the same computer?
[00:18] <mbrigdan> Hi hischild, i'm that guy from before that was having problems connecting to the internet. I ran the dh_client manually, and it worked getting me a connection, by I would like to fix it, so I don't have to do that every time. (I also need a static IP addr, because I use my computer as a backup for my family's network)
[00:18] <Frogging101> ultratrek: and MAKE SURE that vista isn't hibernated
[00:18] <Frogging101> Gnea: yes
[00:18] <vaxius> ultratek: gparted ftw, i haven't found a type of partition it doesn't work with
[00:18] <ultratek> yea vista can do it on the fly...this is how this current version iam running is working
[00:18] <hischild> mbrigdan, good to hear it worked!
[00:18] <Spencerical> where is the default wallpaper stored on the disk?
[00:19] <Gnea> Frogging101: are you using dhcp or static ip assignments?
[00:19] <Spencerical> nevermind
[00:19] <ultratek> of linux
[00:19] <Frogging101> Gnea: when I use it with one computer running windows?
[00:19] <hischild> mbrigdan, well, lets check your default settings then shall we? i presume you're in a graphical env?
[00:19] <mbrigdan> hischild: yes
[00:19] <Gnea> Frogging101: yes.
[00:19] <oshin> is that flash player 10 issues?
[00:19] <D3RGPS31> How do I set the port for Polipo, the directory where website cache are stored, and is there a space limit in the package
[00:20] <hischild> mbrigdan, under system -> administration you should find network tools. You found it?
[00:20] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, What?
[00:20] <DarkKnight> will i really affect the performance if i install more than one type of sever on a single system
[00:20] <Frogging101> Gnea: It assigns the IPs automatically on one computer, and it's static on the other
[00:20] <mbrigdan> hischild: yup
[00:20] <angelo> anyone can help me with iphone+amarok? cnt get it working:(
[00:20] <emilien> can I add Nubuntu sources to ubuntu ?
[00:20] <Paddy_EIRE> !nubuntu
[00:21] <Gnea> Frogging101: okay, so it's dhcp on the linux system that's connected to the internet, and then static on the second nic and static on the windows/linux box?
[00:21] <jrib> angelo: what firmware version?
[00:21] <angelo> 2.2
[00:21] <hischild> mbrigdan, oh wait, sorry wrong one. Under prefences it's network configuration (names are alike, they're really totally different)
[00:21] <Paddy_EIRE> emilien, if it is an unofficial derivative then be it at your own risk
[00:21] <mbrigdan> hischild: Ok, I have that open now.
[00:22] <hischild> mbrigdan, you see that default eth0 connection? click it, then on edit.
[00:22] <Frogging101> Gnea: No, the Windows system with wireless internet has a static ip, and it shares the internet with the linux machine, which has automatic IP
[00:22] <GodfatherofEire> Anybody know of a way to fix this issue with bass in Intrepid?
[00:22] <hischild> mbrigdan, then go to ipv4 settings and tell me what setting it is on.
[00:22] <mbrigdan> hischild:  Method = Manual
[00:22] <DarkKnight> will i really affect the performance if i install more than one type of sever on a single system
[00:23] <mker> GodfatherofEire, probably not unless you say what the issue is.
[00:23] <Frogging101> Gnea: but when they both use linux, the network doesn't work, and the computers dont show up in "///network"
[00:23] <aoeuid> I just activated some sort of accessibility feature by pressing some shortcut key and now my screen is zoomed in on my desktop
[00:23] <Gnea> Frogging101: okay, then you need to tell the linux machine to use a static ip instead of dhcp/automatic.
[00:23] <aoeuid> how do I turn this off?
[00:23] <hischild> mbrigdan, aight. You should be able to connect just fine if you set it to automatic (dhcp) , which is the top option. Should it not work, you can run the command again and it should reconnect.
[00:23] <oshin> paddy_EIRE: i had PM you
[00:23] <GodfatherofEire> mker, basically, using my default speakers, the bass on Intrepid is up WAY too high
[00:23] <Gnea> !pm | oshin
[00:23] <Frogging101> Gnea: my problem is that when the BOTH use linux, it doesn't work
[00:23] <mker> aoeuid, click there
[00:23] <mbrigdan> hischild:  Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only)..
[00:24] <aoeuid> click where?
[00:24] <Paddy_EIRE> !pm | oshin
[00:24] <hischild> mbrigdan, o.O wait what? it errors here? o.O
[00:24] <mker> aoeuid, depends on what you want to turn off.
[00:24] <aoeuid> everything is like normal, except the pixels are four times as large
[00:24] <Gnea> Frogging101: well that's a problem then, because it's just too many problems at once.
[00:24] <Frogging101> Gnea: but when the both use windows, or only the one with wireless uses windows, they work
[00:24] <oshin> hi, is that flashplayer 10 not working well, cause i was read forum saying that and it happen to me too?
[00:24] <aoeuid> I want to have it look normal
[00:24] <Paddy_EIRE> !info adobe-flashplugin | oshin
[00:24] <DarkKnight> will i really affect the performance if i install more than one type of sever on a single system
[00:24] <m1xram> Q: Does anyone know what happened to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty the directory is missing?
[00:24] <Gnea> Frogging101: so you need to figure out which one you want to get working first.
[00:24] <aoeuid> it had nothing to do with clicking anything, just a random shortcut that I accidentally hit
[00:24] <mbrigdan> hischild: Not *exactly* there, but when I hit apply, it says that.
[00:24] <oshin> two of my desktop not working well after upgrade on FP 10
[00:24] <Paddy_EIRE> !adobe-flashplugin
[00:24] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> aoeuid that is zoom from compiz
[00:25] <Frogging101> Gnea: forget windows, how do you make two ubuntu computers connect to each other and share internet and stuff?
[00:25] <hischild> mbrigdan, ok well let's try another way at it. Create a new profile, name it to what you like on top and go to ipv4. Then apply that.
[00:25] <aoeuid> I don't have compiz
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[00:25] <Gnea> !ics | Frogging101
[00:25] <mbrigdan> hischild: seems to work fine
[00:25] <oshin> just try Paddy_EIRE
[00:25] <aleka> I seem to have lost my forefox profile... not sure if an upgrade to FF overwrote my existing profile or if it created one... I can only find one instance of my profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox  (running FF  on Ubuntu 8.10
[00:25] <InfectedWithDrew> Just installed Ibex on a Compaq Presario V2000 series.  Auto eth0 doesn't work.  And I know the following: 1) the cable works 2) the router accepts DHCP 3) the router has internet connectivity.  When trying to acquire a network address, it searches for a long time and then gives up, saying I was disconnected.  Any help?  Please and thank you.
[00:25] <Frogging101> Gnea: but first shouldn't i get them to at least recognize each other?
[00:25] <hischild> mbrigdan, left click on nm-applet and you should see your new profile int here. Can you do this?
[00:25] <Gnea> Frogging101: if it's just the 2 systems, i would just do static with both
[00:25] <oshin> it make me stress
[00:26] <scoremeformusic> can anyone help me connect to wireless?
[00:26] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, Which version of ubuntu are you using?
[00:26] <hischild> mbrigdan, then click on the profile to activate it.
[00:26] <oshin> hardy heron 8.04
[00:26] <Frogging101> Gnea: okay i will try that
[00:26] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, 1 sec
[00:26] <aoeuid> anyone have any idea how to unzoom?
[00:26] <oshin> okay
[00:26] <Gnea> Frogging101: making sure that your subnet information is identical on both sides is key
[00:26] <angelo> anyone can help me with iphone+amarok? cnt get it working:(
[00:26] <Frogging101> Gnea: What do I say for mac address and MTU?
[00:27] <carpii> i think my system is defaulting to dolphin for file manager and open/save dialogs. How can i change this to Konqueror ?
[00:27] <mbrigdan> hischild: how do I activate it? Clicking it once doesn't do anything (or so it seems). Double clicking opens the edit page.
[00:27] <GodfatherofEire> So, anybody know how to alter/lower the amount of bass, system wide under intrepid?
[00:27] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, select the '.deb' for ubuntu here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[00:27] <Gnea> Frogging101: oh, don't worry about those
[00:27] <Frogging101> Gnea: What do I put for gateway?
[00:27] <hischild> mbrigdan, clicking on the network manager applet on the top right should bring down a dropdown menu, one of the entries should be named to the profile you just created.
[00:28] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, follow this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-adobe-flash-player-10-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html
[00:28] <mbrigdan> hischild: oh, the applet
[00:28] <oshin> paddy_EIRE: i had several download adobe flashplayer and installing several times too. and the result is my desktop not wrking
[00:28] <hischild> mbrigdan, yes :-)
[00:28] <Gnea> Frogging101: well, your system with the wireless is your gateway to the internet
[00:28] <mbrigdan> hischild: hold on a sec, the applet seems to be gone. :-(
[00:28] <hischild> mbrigdan, alt+f2, nm-applet, enter :-)
[00:28] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, follow  that guide
[00:29] <Frogging101> Gnea: What about DNS Servers and search domains?
[00:29] <Frogging101> Gnea: and routes?
[00:29] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, are you using 32-bit or 64-bit?
[00:29] <mbrigdan> hischild: nothing seems to happen. :(
[00:29] <hischild> mbrigdan, define nothing
[00:30] <hischild> !nothing | mbrigdan (i like this one)
[00:30] <oshin> is that affect 32 bit or 64 bit?
[00:30] <mbrigdan> hischild: The run window disappears. The applet doesn't appear.
[00:30] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, what?
[00:30] <oshin> cause i dont know inside of my desktop

[00:30] <hischild> hmm, it might be running still. Open up a terminal (bless god for inventing loads of terminals) and fire it up from there, Might tell you something about why it won't pop up.
[00:31] <scoremeformusic> sorry for repeating, but I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless. Earlier, the problem was that it was showing up on the network list in the tray, but wouldn't connect. So, losing patience, I plugged out the router, plugged it in agin after about 10 mins, tried to connect while the computer was connected to the router through the lan cable, and it worked!

[00:31] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, open a terminal and type 'uname -a' and tell me if it says "i686" or something like that
[00:31] <InfectedWithDrew> Just installed Ibex on a Compaq Presario V2000 series; installation went smoothly. Auto eth0 doesn't work. And I know the following: the cable works, the router accepts DHCP, the router has internet connectivity, and no settings in the new installation have been modified. When trying to acquire a network address, it searches for a long time and then gives up, saying I was disconnected. Any help? Please and thank you.
[00:32] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, if it says x86_64 then you are using 64 bit
[00:32] <watermelonstorm> Yep.
[00:32] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, otherwise 32-bit Okay
[00:32] <hischild> mbrigdan, one screwed up line. ps aux | grep nm-applet returns anything?
[00:32] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: open a terminal and type this: tail -f /var/log/syslog  and try to connect again, it should give you some debugging info
[00:33] <m1xram> Q: Feisty repo directory is missing from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ . Anybody from Ubuntu.org here?

[00:33] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, do not type the quotes obviously from that command
[00:33] <hischild> mbrigdan, hmm not what i was hoping for.

[00:33] <Paddy_EIRE> oshin, just to make sure that is not what you are doing
[00:34] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, there is already a bunch of log data from when I tried to connect it, can I just paste that for you?

[00:37] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, I transferred it via flash drive.  Here is the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84604/
[00:38] <watermelonstorm> I recommend VirtualBox.
[00:38] <watermelonstorm> Closed Source Edition, but If you want to make changes, OSE.
[00:38] <hischild> mbrigdan, good:-)

[00:39] <watermelonstorm> Hey.
[00:39] <hischild> !fishing > watermelonstorm
[00:39] <donavan_> with virtual box is there a work around for the lack of USB support ?
[00:39] <eseven73> i dont care for vmware's web interface, so personaly I'd go with Virtualbox
[00:40] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: hrm, doesn't look like any networking problems confirmed there... is the router set to allow only certain MAC addresses or do you even see anything on the router logs about it? how about the lights on the NIC of the compaq? is it lit up and/or blinking?
[00:40] <watermelonstorm> donavan_, use the Closed Source Edition.
[00:40] <watermelonstorm> It has USB support.
[00:40] <hischild> mbrigdan, can you verify if network manager is running? --> ps aux | grep network -i
[00:40] <bmeynell> what's that thing called where I can just hit F1 or whatever and i can quickly run a command?
[00:40] <donavan_> watermelonstorm ... I cant find it I looked on the site but I must be missing it
[00:41] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, the ethernet cord lights up.  The router is set to accept all MAC addresses, I believe.

[00:41] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, the cable was just unplugged from a computer running Windows XP, and that was how it connected to the internet.  I'm thinking it's an Intrepid bug.
[00:42] <mbrigdan> hischild: Yes, it is running. Along with something called nm-system-settings
[00:42] <donavan_> watermelonstorm... you are my hero for the day... thanks
[00:42] <templaedhel> anyone^^^
[00:42] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: check this script out - you should be able to copy it over the flash to test things out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=148593&postcount=9
[00:42] <hischild> mbrigdan, good.
[00:42] <watermelonstorm> donavan_: No problem.
[00:42] <hischild> mbrigdan, one down, loads to go.
[00:42] <mcquaid> doesn't gnome a gamepad setting in preferences?
[00:42] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: i've installed Intrepid on several machines, never had a single problem with networking. in fact, wireless is easier than ever.
[00:42] <mcquaid> I thought it had it by now
[00:43] <watermelonstorm> Gnea: Yep. Ubuntu simple as pie as networking, especially when using Intrepid.
[00:43] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, paste the entire script into a .sh file and then run it via terminal?  And by the entire script, everything in the [code] box?
[00:43] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: have you tried setting a static ip?
[00:43] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: correct.
[00:43] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, that option isn't available in auto eth0...
[00:43] <InfectedWithDrew> At least... that I know of.
[00:44] <Unknown0BC> Greetings :)
[00:44] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: well, now that all depends on how you're going at the network configuration - are you using the network manager or editting the interfaces file?
[00:44] <darkhornet> hello all
[00:44] <DarkKnight> will i really affect the performance if i install more than one type of sever on a single system
[00:44] <hischild> mbrigdan, well this shouldn't be needed at all, but could you reboot and check it if runs then?
[00:44] <Unknown0BC> How can I add a folder shortcut to the Places menu Ubuntu ( gnome ) has.
[00:44] <mbrigdan> hischild: sure
[00:44] <ocRob> DarkKnight: probably not, what types of servers though?
[00:45] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, network-manager, and it only gives me the one option of auto eth0.  I'm doing this fresh out of an installation - the Broadcom driver isn't even installed yet.
[00:45] <DarkKnight> ocRob; samba, mysql, web
[00:45] <ocRob> DarkKnight: nah not at all
[00:46] <Bruce> how can i mount multiple harddrives?
[00:46] <five> can somone help me with a usplash theme
[00:46] <Bruce> any help on that?
[00:46] <DarkKnight> ocRob; because...even my desktop sever sometimes gives me certain problems sometimes...such as the cpu usage pumps up to 90%
[00:46] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, there was no output.  It ran some code quickly before my eyes then closed the terminal.
[00:47] <DasEi>  Bruce: permanently or manually ?
[00:47] <watermelonstorm> Croppa, did you turn off your router/modem with a Remote?
[00:47] <Unknown0BC> Is it possible to as a menu to the Places men u?

[00:52] <Brucee> i want to assign permanently an ip to a netcard,

[00:52] <Brucee> yes DasEi
[00:52] <mcquaid> ok gnome doesn't seem to have a gamepad test/config what's a small game that i could test a gamepad?
[00:52] <DasEi>  Bruce: attach the drives, open a terminal

[00:54] <watermelonstorm> Yay.
[00:54] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> hello

[00:54] <hischild> mbrigdan, how much is your pc on? like once every 24 hours?
[00:54] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> I have a process that simple don't die, even with kill -9
[00:54] <buntoaster> ok i cant find terminal on this new version of ubuntu can someone help?
[00:54] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> what can I do?
[00:54] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, you mean make a new user profile...?  That's really strange.  Maybe because I had this one auto-login?
[00:54] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: that's weird.
[00:55] <watermelonstorm> I'm bored.
[00:55] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: no, I mean, to the right of "auto eth0", there should be an 'Add' button.
[00:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > watermelonstorm
[00:55] <InfectedWithDrew> buntoaster, applications -> accessories -> terminal
[00:55] <mbrigdan> hischild: pretty close to that, if I get what you're saying. (You mean I turn my computer on about once a day right?)
[00:55] <kansan__> from the command line, how can replace all instances of "localhost" with "myhostname.com" in a given file foo.conf?
[00:55] <watermelonstorm>  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:55] <watermelonstorm> Whoops.
[00:55] <jrib> kansan__: you can use sed
[00:55] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, there is.
[00:56] <buntoaster> ty infectedwithdrew.
[00:56] <Gnea> kansan__: perl -pi -e 's/localhost/myhostname.com/g' foo.conf
[00:56] <hischild> mbrigdan, more if the time it's shut down is more then 24 hours. If so, there's the need for a static IP. Normally, they lease for about a day

[00:56] <jolter> !Wireshark

[00:57] <leandro_> Hi. I own a prescott p4 and would like to know if thermal throttling is ative. How do I do that?
[00:57] <hischild> mbrigdan, i'm afraid that's a subject to ask the channel for now. At least we did get your internet working, but i'm afraid i'm to tired to help you on setting up static up.
[00:57] <kansan__> sed -s/localhost/hostname.com/ input.conf input.conf
[00:57] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: when you have the static info set in the new one, then you should be able to switch the 'connect automatically' switches on both (turn the first one off, turn the new one on)
[00:57] <mbrigdan> hischild: Is there a way I could play with my router to give just my computer a permanent lease?
[00:57] <kansan__> jrib, something like that
[00:58] <hischild> mbrigdan, yeah, you should be able to find a place where you can enter your MAC and an IP, and it should always give yout hat ip
[00:58] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, I'll go try that out now.  Over and out.
[00:58] <mbrigdan> hischild: ok, thanks
[00:58] <jrib> kansan__: something like this: sed -i 's/FOO/BAR/g' FILE
[00:58] <Psi-Jack> How is Ubuntu 8.10's ATI video card support for the X1600 Pro these days? Is it worthwhile yet?
[00:58] <n8tuser> mbrigdan-> settings are in /etc/network/interfaces
[00:58] <hischild> mbrigdan, np
[00:59] <bobbob1016> Psi-Jack, It isn't really Ubuntu's ATI support, it is ATI's Linux support, but not sure apart from that, it should be ok though, I had an HD2400 in here that worked fine
[00:59] <kansan__> jrib,        sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...  ... what does the [] and the {} syntax mean?  [] = required .... ?
[01:00] <lstarnes> kansan__: optional
[01:00] <gustavo> oooo vida margurada !!!
[01:00] <Psi-Jack> bobbob1016: Good to hear. And yes, I know it's not Ubuntu-specific, but Ubuntu has the ability, I believe still, to use the ATI drivers without having to manually go download and install them from AMD's website, etc.
[01:00] <kansan__> lstarnes, what is optional
[01:00] <lstarnes> kansan__: it's not required
[01:00] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, it didn't work.
[01:00] <kansan__> lstarnes, but you mean {} is optoinal or [] is optional
[01:00] <lstarnes> kansan__: both are
[01:00] <Bruce> how can i mount multiple drives to ubuntu server?
[01:00] <Psi-Jack> I'm not even going to be using Compiz most likely. No need, and it interupts the usability of opengl applications, like Second Life. likely stay low and just use fluxbox or something.
[01:00] <Bruce> fdisk sees the drive
[01:01] <kansan__> lstarnes, how do they introudce required
[01:01] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: you might've missed a step - what exactly did you do?

[01:02] <bulio> I've tried 8.10 regular and alternate install
[01:02] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea: right-clicked on network manager, went to auto eth0 and hit edit and copied the MAC address.  Then I added a new profile, gave it a name, then pasted the MAC address in there.  Then I set both to NOT connect automatically (I figured that this wouldn't be an issue).  Then I plugged the cord in and told it to connect via the one I just created, and the same thing happened.
[01:02] <bulio> both freeze after I choose something on the menu prompt
[01:02] <ronandi> how do you get urxvt to be undecortated every time you open it (openbox)
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> bulio burn the disk at the slowest possible speed, yes, even if it self test fine
[01:03] <bobbob1016> Flannel, Nice catch, I was going to do pr or something, didn't know they abbreviated it br, learn something new every day

[01:03] <Flannel> bulio: Yep
[01:03] <bulio> I do get kernel panic on one
[01:03] <DasEi> Bruce: url ?
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> bulio did you md5 the iso
[01:03] <lstarnes> kansan__: I think that's without brackets
[01:04] <NetSkier> Is this the appropriate channel to get help in fixing KDE which broke upon upgrading to Intrepid?
[01:04] <bulio> Jack_Sparrow, no
[01:04] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: okay, you got the first step done, but you missed the rest: you need to edit the IPv4 Settings to change it from an automatic assignment to a static one
[01:04] <bulio> how can I do that on windows
[01:04] <Bruce> DasEi : i am trying with fstab thanks.. let me try something
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> NetSkier #kubuntu might be better

[01:04] <NetSkier> Jack_Sparrow, thanks; got em both open now.
[01:05] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: and:  manual == static
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> cool
[01:05] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, what do I fill in for those fields?  <IP_ADDRESS>xx?
[01:05] <InfectedWithDrew> And OpenDNS for the DNS servers?
[01:05] <jolter> hi what is the command to "open" a textfile in terminal i dont really want to open it just that it will show the content of the textfile
[01:05] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: whatever corresponds to your internal network settings
[01:05] <Mal3ko> how do we find for specific commands we executed in terminal?
[01:05] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, all right.
[01:05] <Flannel> jolter: less file
[01:05] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: i assumed you had all of this written down already
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> jolter nano path/file
[01:06] <jolter> Flannel: thx :)
[01:06]  * Gnea smacks himself for assuming
[01:06] <Mal3ko> i mean commands that we have used before
[01:06] <ultratek> how do i extend a partition in gparted?
[01:06] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, I know what to fill in by memory (this router and I go waaaay back).
[01:06] <jolter> Jack_Sparrow: yeah i know that but i dont really wanna open it but thx anyway m8 :)
[01:06] <n8tuser> adub which wifi card do you have? what chip it uses?
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> jolter how are you going to open it and look at it without opening it
[01:06] <adub> one sec ill find out
[01:07] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: hrm. i would boot it into windows first and record the IP information from there. it uses the same mac address, so giving it a different ip might confuse the router and not make it work right.
[01:07] <ultratek> gnea: how do i extend a partition in gparted?
[01:07] <Gnea> ultratek: if I knew, I'd tell ya
[01:07] <ultratek> kool
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> ultratek Please hold down the repeating

[01:08] <claudioll> hey guys
[01:08] <fernandof> hi all
[01:08] <linuxman410> how do i installed video drivers for savage 4 in ubuntu
[01:08] <jolter> Jack_Sparrow: nvm got it working now :)
[01:08] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, you want me to install a new OS, come back in 4 hours after I install THOSE drivers, and then try it again?  Nah, I'm just going to put in the address the computer it is taking the cord from has normally.
[01:08] <fernandof> I can not write email under hotmail
[01:08] <msutton> Is this an appropriate place to ask about configuring raid in ubunut?
[01:08] <fernandof> is it here teh right place to get help on that?
[01:09] <adub> n8tuser it is a broadcom bcm4306
[01:09] <Babbelaar> hey all
[01:09] <claudioll> fernandof, the problem could be the incompatibility of M$ with firefox
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> fernandof if you mean you cannot acces hotmail via pop.. they charge for that access.
[01:09] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, I don't know what to fill in for netmask and gateway.  How would I retrieve those from another computer?
[01:09] <Babbelaar> anyone use ubuntu for gaming?
[01:09] <mcquaid> i only have blank dvds. can i burn a bootable cd iso to a dvd?
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !games
[01:09] <jrib> Babbelaar: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> mcquaid yes
[01:09] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: sorry, I was under the impression that you had the system dual-booting.
[01:09] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: long day...
[01:10] <fernandof> claudioll : how can i check and solve that?
[01:10] <mcquaid> thx
[01:10] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, no, but it's ok.  But, even if you're tired, you should know that Windows isn't worth the trouble ;)
[01:10] <msutton> Whats the different between the alternate and the server install disks?
[01:10] <fernandof> jack_sparrow: thx ...but it is not the question to get pop mail access
[01:10] <claudioll> not sure fernando, i don't use hotmail, but you can try with opera web browser
[01:10] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, I'm actually doing a fresh install of Ibex since the last install wasn't done by me and I just want to make sure it's ok.  I'm trying to get the Broadcom driver working...
[01:10] <Babbelaar> no specific ?s, just making conversation and hoping to hear people's experience with gaming and ubuntu
[01:10] <claudioll> they have a package that you can install in ubuntu
[01:10] <jrib> Babbelaar: #ubuntu-offtopic then please
[01:11] <templaedhel> Babbelaar: I play tremulous
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> fernandof So in a browser and on hotmail you cant send/receive
[01:11] <fernandof> yes
[01:11] <claudioll> Babbelaar, try crossover of codeeavers
[01:11] <fernandof> my browser is firefox and I am happy with it
[01:11] <Babbelaar> how is tremulous, is there alot of exploiting, a good number of people to play with?
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> fernandof Which browser

[01:12] <MHz128> hello world!
[01:12] <MHz128> I am looking for data recovery type software.... is there anything avaible for Ubuntu? or any linux platform?
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> fernandof how far do you get into hotmail
[01:12] <fernandof> Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514
[01:12] <templaedhel> I have ubuntu 8.10 and a dell inspiron e1505, and when I close the lid the screen doesn't shut off, but when I open it it turns of briefly then back on, like its just realizing the lid was closed
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> MHz128 to recover windows files?
[01:12] <fernandof> every day i get there
[01:13] <msutton> Anyone boot RAID 1 in here?
[01:13] <MHz128> Jack_Sparrow, yes, it was an ntfs drive... now its reading as "RAW"
[01:13] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: sounds like a plan
[01:13] <claudioll> MHz128, try easyrecovery
[01:13] <MHz128> claudioll, windows?
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> MHz128 not good, but boot ubuntu livecd and see what you can recover (to usb as needed)
[01:13] <Alejo-Expat> hi, i'¡ve always been a happy ubuntu user, but my ubuntu 8.04 is so slow that it's unusable. I've googled and i've seen people complain, but i haven't seen any solutions. What do i do?
[01:13] <yagga> MHz128: there is PTK that rus with autopsy
[01:13] <MHz128> Jack_Sparrow, why boot the livecd?
[01:14] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, but how would I retrieve that information?  I actually don't know what it is or where to find it on Windows.
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !raid > msutton
[01:14] <MHz128> yagga, what is that?
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> MHz128 to avoid writing anything to the drive and adding to the problem
[01:14] <claudioll> connect the damaged disk into another computer, and then recover the data with that soft
[01:14] <Grant-A|afk> is ext2 a good choice for a flash drive?
[01:14] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: just go to network connections in your control panel, right-click on 'local area connection' and then the 'support' tab
[01:14] <InfectedWithDrew> Thank you, Gnea.
[01:14] <Gnea> InfectedWithDrew: you can get 'details' there. :)
[01:15] <msutton> Whats the different between dmraid and mdadm?
[01:15] <msutton> Jack_Sparrow I've been reading through those
[01:15] <yagga> MHz128: it is pat of the repo (Autopsy) it offers recovery of faild drives after imaging with dd for examplw
[01:15] <MHz128> yagga, what is autopsy?
[01:15] <MHz128> oh cool!
[01:15] <m1dn1ght> Hey - does anyone know if it's possible to install the 2D SiS Mirage 3 video driver in Intrepid?  Forums seem to suggest no-one has figured it out yet.
[01:15] <Alejo-Expat> what is the solution to the massive slowdown in ubuntu?
[01:15] <Mal3ko> lawl..uploading 100 files in ubuntu server is like a pain. isnt there ftp uploader that supports simulatenous upload?
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> m1dn1ght vesa will be ablut the best you can hoppe for..1024x768
[01:16] <Gnea> Mal3ko: FTP is an ineffecient and archaic protocol.
[01:16] <Anusien> Mal3ko: Also, try FileZilla
[01:16] <msutton> From what I understand at least, I don't really want to use dmraid.
[01:16] <m1dn1ght> Jack_Sparrow: Yah - that's what I thought :(  Will have to stick with Hardy until someone figures it out
[01:17] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, when I put <IP_ADDRESS> into Netmask it reverts to 24 after I save the settings.
[01:17] <Mal3ko> Anusien: it's ubuntu server :p need Cmds
[01:17] <mker> I have a problem with changing home directory for user accounts used for SSH (more specifically the SFTP part of SSH).  Can someone take a look at my thread in the forum please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002948
[01:17] <claudioll> hey yagga, you are talking about a bunch of utilities to recover data?
[01:17] <fernandof> Jack_Sparrow : any suggestion
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> fernandof nope< i dont have an account so I cant test it
[01:17] <Alejo-Expat> ubuntu has become so horribly slow that i can't use it. What do i do?
[01:17] <MHz128> claudioll, what  company makes 'easyrecovery'? or do you have a url? there are lots search results...
[01:18] <jesper_> Hi, im wondering how to acces windows partition from ubuntu interpid?
[01:18] <yagga> claudioll: no it is full bodied recovery
[01:18] <mker> Alejo-Expat, how did it become slow? Did you do any changes before it got slow?
[01:18] <claudioll> MHz128, google it!
[01:18] <m1dn1ght> Jack_Sparrow: I don't suppose you know what the sticking point is?  I get the impression it's the new Xorg?
[01:18] <Alejo-Expat> mker, upgraded to 8.04
[01:18] <mcquaid> hmm, put in a few blank cds and get Buffer I/O error on device sr0
[01:18] <MHz128> claudioll, ya i did, there a lots of other programs called similar things.......
[01:18] <mcquaid> but it can read my existing dvd's cds fine
[01:18] <DasEi>  jesper_:go to mount it
[01:18] <MHz128> Brothersoft?
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat What flavor of ubuntu are you running, and what all have you added from outside official repos?
[01:18] <claudioll> MHz128, let me see if I can find the url
[01:18] <Kassah> is there an easy way to remove old kernel packages?
[01:19] <claudioll> thanks yagga
[01:19] <jesper_> DasEi: ive installed ubuntu with Wubi, makes any diffrende?
[01:19] <fernandof> thx
[01:19] <Alejo-Expat> Jack_Sparrow, it's 8.04 hardy, and i have added nothing
[01:19] <DasEi> jesper_: nope
[01:19] <mker> Alejo-Expat, maybe try a clean install of 8.04 then, or 8.10 which is the latest version. I'm just guessing though.
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> jesper_ yep it does, wubi is not a real install it is a test drive inside a file on a windowsa box
[01:19] <fernandof> does anyone knows if there is a specific channel for help on that issue?
[01:19] <jesper_> So what should i dp?
[01:20] <fernandof> that issue means firefox does not allow ro write emails under hotmail
[01:20] <DasEi> jesper:open a terminal in ubuntu
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat what flavor of ubuntu and can you pastebin your sources.list for us.. NOT in the channel
[01:20] <fernandof> I can do it under MSWINDOWS
[01:20] <jrib> fernandof: what happens exactly?
[01:20] <Quagmire> anyone care to weigh in with some info on adobe flash player? I can't get it to work and no one has anything to say over at ##Flash ...I assume that's the correct channel.
[01:20] <DasEi> jesper:sudo fdisk -l
[01:20] <fernandof> but not under ubuntu
[01:20] <eseven73> come down off that fence and actually install Ubuntu :)
[01:20] <jesper_> DasEi: Yes
[01:21] <fernandof> the window to write does not allow to write there

[01:22] <Techtronic> smb help me pls

[01:23] <fernandof> midnight thx
[01:23] <bulio> hmm, MD5 checks out
[01:23] <Alejo-Expat> the 3 main problems: stuff like sendmail takes ages to start, so the system takes ages to start.  FIrefox uses gb's of memory despite it being version 3
[01:23] <bulio> I guess its a bad burn
[01:23] <fernandof> I understand ... and I am going to read it
[01:23] <DasEi> jesper: sudo mount -t ntfts /dev/sda1  /mnt/win
[01:23] <m1dn1ght> fernandof: Good luck with that.
[01:24] <jesper_> DasEi: Looks like nothing happend
[01:24] <DasEi> jesper: only looks so
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat did you upgrade through all version of jump from feisty to hardy
[01:24] <DasEi> jesper: cd /mnt/win
[01:24] <DasEi> jesper: ls
[01:24] <InfectedWithDrew> Gnea, in case you missed it, I put the subnet mask in for netmask, and that's <IP_ADDRESS>, but it changed to 24.
[01:24] <DasEi> jesper: files there ?
[01:24] <Alejo-Expat> Jack_Sparrow, i skipped 7.10. I went from 7.04 to 8.04
[01:24] <fernandof>  the article is about  firefox 2.0
[01:24] <fernandof> I am using  5.0
[01:24] <jesper_> DasEi: Now in getting
[01:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat BAd mojo.. you cant do that
[01:25] <jesper_> DasEi: /mnt/win$
[01:25] <vaxius> Techtronic: I don't really have any experience with MySQL
[01:25] <DasEi> jesper: ls
[01:25] <january> fernandof: there is no firefox 5.0 :-)
[01:25] <DasEi> jesper: files there ?
[01:25] <donavan_> I just installed virtualbox from the closed source binaries and everything seemed to install correctly but now I am getting the following error "Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)"  I thought the closed source was supposed to support USB any one have any  ideas on this one?
[01:25] <Alejo-Expat> Jack_Sparrow, i just told it to upgrade, shouldn't it be clever enough to either do it smoothly or tell me: you can't do that!    ?
[01:25] <teratorn> donavan_: use google. that is a known issue.
[01:26] <jesper_> DasEi: So i have to acces the files through the "commandpromt"
[01:26] <yagga> Techtronic: did you start mysql
[01:26] <fernandof> right 5.0 is my mozilla version
[01:26] <teratorn> there are ubuntu-specific changes you have to make
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat if you change the sources and tell it to upgrade it will try to do it
[01:26] <fernandof> I am using 3.0 firefox
[01:26] <DasEi> donavan:though wrong channel ; I think you gotta fix that in vbox'es preferences
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !upgrade
[01:26] <Alejo-Expat> Jack_Sparrow, i didn't mess with the sources, i promise
[01:26] <donavan_> teratorn: gotcha thanks
[01:26] <fernandof> 3.0b5 to be more exact
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat k, sources.list looks a bit odd
[01:26] <DasEi> jesper: or via nautilus; do u want to alter the files or write to the parti ?
[01:27] <Techtronic> yagga: mysqld?

[01:29] <sproingie> quick question: actually working vmware-tools for 8.10.  actually possible without a blood sacrifice?
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[01:29] <Techtronic> yagga: bash: /etc/init.d/mysqld: No such file or directory
[01:29] <mushroomcheeseom> anybody can answer hardware glitches here too?
[01:30] <Alejo-Expat> Jack_Sparrow, so what can i do?  I didn't mess with it. I just clicked on the button offering me to upgrade to the newest version.
[01:30] <DasEi> jesper: it's dolphin then, graphical as I said, on Desktop > rightclick on desk, > configure > show mounted drives
[01:30] <yagga> Techtronic: try sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start
[01:30] <DasEi> jesper:  want to have it mounted  permanent ?
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat install your last backup
[01:30] <Gnea> mushroomcheeseom: anybody can, somebody might, nobody has to, and everybody could.
[01:31] <Alejo-Expat> Jack_Sparrow, as in.. my last system backup ?
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[01:31] <jesper_> DasEi: yes permanent
[01:31] <sproingie> has anyone successfully installed vmware-tools from the linux.iso in the workstation bundle?
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat if you have used ubuntu for 4.5 years and never had a backup and never had to reinstall , windows is sure to disappoint
[01:32] <mushroomcheeseom> @Gnea: i guess i thought i may find someone who will or won't
[01:32] <DasEi> jesper:  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:32] <DasEi> jesper: scroll down that file, add a line :
[01:32] <Gnea> mushroomcheeseom: you should get a bit more specific, vagueness is often looked down upon in here.
[01:32] <daaaman64> I'm having a problem with my dual boot. My menu.lst entry for WinXP isn't working. Anyone know a valid one?
[01:33] <mushroomcheeseom> just wondering why my system hangs...
[01:33] <DasEi> jesper: /dev/sda1  /mnt/win    ntfs  ,user,auto, ro   0   0
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> I need the bot trigger for !indonesia
[01:33] <Gnea> mushroomcheeseom: yeah, that's pretty vague... when does it hang?
[01:34] <DasEi> jesper: leave the file with a blank line (simply hit enter ) Save it, close gedit
[01:34] <eseven73> Oh noes! openvpn screwed up my network, so i uninstalled it, now i get no internet at all /etc/init.d/networking restart says
[01:34] <daaaman64> Anyone know where I can learn about my problem?
[01:34] <eseven73> 'unknown interface eth0
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !id
[01:34] <Gnea> eseven73: did you try rebooting?
[01:34] <Alejo-Expat> Jack_Sparrow, no, i had to reinstall it 20 billion times. Granted, left often than windows. But still a lot. And it doesn't take a phd to install your sound or your video card. I have advocated ubuntu for years, but i'm really angry at the moment
[01:34] <jesper_> DasEi: I have started Dolphin now, what was it i should to there
[01:34] <eseven73> not yet, Gnea really hate to reboot :(   is there another way ?
[01:34] <mushroomcheeseom> no particular time or trigger. so far i remember it has hung 5 or 6 times since a fresh install 7 or so days ago
[01:35] <DasEi> jesper:filesystem > mnt > win
[01:35] <scoremeformusic> hey room, I need to make my wireless default, I've been told to create "local file" in /etc/init.d, then update-rc to run it at startup, then add the commands necessary for establishing the connection to that file. Can anyone run me through it?
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Alejo-Expat So no backups?  Sorry you are frustrated , but this is not the place to vent your frustration
[01:35] <MTecknology> How do I show my layers toolbar in gimp? I lost it and can't get it back...
[01:35] <sproingie> i don't know an OS i don't get angry at, windows and linux included
[01:35] <mushroomcheeseom> i'm thinking it's because i use 256MB of RAM only...
[01:36] <jesper_> Dasei: The files wont show up there
[01:36] <Gnea> eseven73: well, if it's not talking to the internet right now, it's not going to really make a difference
[01:36] <sproingie> i've also never had a car i didn't hate on several occasions
[01:36] <Phantom77> good evening
[01:36] <mushroomcheeseom> good morning!
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[01:36] <Phantom77> hah
[01:36] <jesper_> Dasei: Or must the files be shared in windows?
[01:36] <Gnea> mushroomcheeseom: that could be it... have you considered xubuntu?
[01:36] <DasEi> jesper : nope
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> MTecknology #gimp may be a better choice
[01:37] <eseven73> ok Gnea ty,,,umm what if rebooting doesnt help whats the next step? I dont want to have to completly reinstall if possible.
[01:37] <MTecknology> Jack_Sparrow: alrighty
[01:37] <boGGdy> I have troubles editing the menu.lst, to be able to change the default boot. anyone can help me?
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> MTecknology I use it , but just enough to be dangerous
[01:37] <DasEi> jesper: places > filestem > mnt > win ?!
[01:37] <Gnea> eseven73: i wouldn't bet on a reinstall just yet - see if it works or not, we can troubleshoot from there.
[01:37] <eseven73> ok
[01:37] <mushroomcheeseom> i'm pretty new with linux and as you may have gathered, it hasn't been 2wks yet since my 1st install. so i guess i'll have to read up on xubuntu?
[01:37] <x-ip> hi :)

[01:38] <mushroomcheeseom> @Gnea thanks
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> mushroomcheeseom: why do you need xubuntu?
[01:38] <Gnea> !xubuntu | mushroomcheeseom
[01:38] <jesper_> Dasei: Nothin
[01:38] <Phantom77> anyone played with 8.10 yet?
[01:38] <Gnea> Phantom77: all the time
[01:38] <DasEi> jesper: if you just : mount        , parti still mounted ?
[01:38] <Phantom77> cool
[01:38] <gnubie> mushroomcheeseom; http://www.xubuntu.org/about
[01:39] <Gnea> beyond the 'playing' part, actually
[01:39] <caligarn1037> does anybody know any cool notification applets for the desktop?
[01:39] <jesper_> DasEi: how do i se if its still mounted=
[01:39] <LjL> mushroomcheeseom, if by "hang" you mean the HD starts being noise and everything gets very slow, that's one thing, and it's probably due to not enough RAM. if by "hang" you mean it freezes solid, that has nothing to do with RAM.
[01:39] <DasEi> jesper: type mount in trml
[01:39] <vaxius> Phantom77: just be sure you don't have the intel 4965 wireless before you upgrade
[01:39] <boGGdy> dasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84618/
[01:40] <Phantom77> interesting
[01:40] <DasEi> boGGdy: which shall be your default boot ?
[01:40] <Phantom77> I am having trouble connecting to my network
[01:40] <boGGdy> DasEi: Win. :(
[01:40] <doglino>  :)
[01:40] <boGGdy> my wife hates ubuntu
[01:40] <jesper_> Dasei: se a bounch of thins, dont whink its mounted anymore
[01:40] <vaxius> Phantom77: yeah, it's a bug in the newer kernel, not Ubuntu's fault, but you may never get wifi working if you have that chipset
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > boGGdy
[01:41] <yagga> jesper, this is how i have my shared drive mounted: //computername/shareddrive	/media/shareddrivename	cifs user,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode	0	0
[01:41] <DasEi> jesper_:sudo mount -a                    , try again
[01:41] <Phantom77> its on my old laptop
[01:41] <Phantom77> its a p3
[01:41] <yagga> DasEi: mount -a i think
[01:41] <Phantom77> 256k of ram
[01:41] <Phantom77> :P
[01:42] <Phantom77> but ubuntu runs well on it
[01:42] <jesper_> Dasei: line 8 is incorrect
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > Phantom77
[01:43] <Phantom77> oops
[01:43] <Circs> 256k?
[01:43] <jesper_> DasEi:  /etc/fstab is incorrect
[01:44] <duanedesign> while in the bathroom my cat stepped on my keyboard. Now my computer beeps with every key I press. How do I get this to stop
[01:44] <jrib> duanedesign: did you reboot?
[01:44] <sproingie> wrap your cat with duct tape whenever you shower
[01:44] <buridan> kill yourself?  your cat is clearly in need of entertainment and eating your face is right up there on kitty entertainment
[01:44] <duanedesign> lol
[01:44] <eseven73> Gnea: ok rebooting fixed it thanks!
[01:45] <jrib> buridan: please don't do that
[01:45] <sproingie> you probably interrupted the cat as he was logging into his botnet account
[01:45] <boGGdy> DasEi: still working on it?
[01:45] <D3RGPS31> How do I set Polipo to download everything the users see?

[01:46] <boGGdy> DasEi: that's what I gave you
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> duanedesign It sounds like you cat did more than step on your keyboard...

[02:10] <Hasbro> I have a php script that's supposed to connect to my mysql serveer, as well as software that needs to connect to it, and they don't support connecting over an ssh tunnel..

[02:10] <icehawk> vaxius: help me out with gournal problems The problem is that last night i was using it fine after i downloaded it with synaptic.

Please help
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> icehawk: that sounds like an application error, start the application in a terminal, and see what error it spits when it doesn't start
[02:10] <BlueEagle> msutton: No, you don't have to have a separate boot partition.
[02:10] <msutton> Didn't think so, but I wasn't sure
[02:10] <Hasbro> Any ideas anyone?
[02:10] <icehawk> Indy: i did run in termal no goes
[02:11] <aprilhare> hello: i want to run video as background (like windoze dreamscene). does anyone know how to achieve this in intrepid? i read you need xwinwrap however I can't find it.
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> icehawk: did you get an error?
[02:11] <vaxius> icehawk: did you try apt-get update?  It's in the universe repo
[02:11] <icehawk> no it just did run
[02:11] <Hasbro> aprilhare, what is Windoze dreamscene?
[02:11] <Hasbro> .
[02:11] <icehawk> vaxius: what is apt-get update?
[02:11] <BlueEagle> msutton: There are a couple of reasons for having one tho. One is that older boot loaders require it. Another is to make sure your kernel is not overwritten by accident as you don't have to mount /boot unless you want to change the kernel or boot loader information.
[02:11] <aprilhare> Hasbro, windows dreamscene :) video as backdrop.
[02:11] <msutton> Yeah
[02:11] <BlueEagle> icehawk: man apt-get
[02:12] <Hasbro> lol, Windows* you mean :P
[02:12] <icehawk> it just didn't run after trying to run in terminal
[02:12] <aprilhare> Hasbro, it looks quite impressive
[02:12] <vaxius> icehawk: like clicking "reload" in synaptic
[02:12] <jesper_> DasEi: need to install Geparted?
[02:12] <Hasbro> I know April was kidding
[02:12] <msutton> But I've already set up my RAID 1 and I don't wanna change it
[02:12] <icehawk> ill try but i doubt that'll work
[02:12] <BlueEagle> icehawk: That will give you the manual for apt-get. The same with `man sudo` will give you the manual for sudo.
[02:12] <Hasbro> Anyways, anyone have any ideas for me?
[02:12] <DasEi> jesper: url of mount

[02:14] <BlueEagle> fryguy: For the alternative installer you need the server or minimal installation disc I think.
[02:14] <fryguy> Flannel: I thought the CDs were combined in 8.10?
[02:14] <DasEi> jesper : /dev/sda1 on /host type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[02:14] <LjL> !botabuse > NotADJ    (NotADJ, see the private message from ubottu)

[02:16] <msutton> This is cool. Listening to my 6 1.5TB drives thrash as they write the file system
[02:16] <fryguy> Flannel: any other feasible method of installing to an encrypted LVM?  And do you happen to know if suspend-to-disk functions as expected with an encrypted LVM
[02:16] <xp_prg> do-release-upgrade doesn't exist in my path on ubuntu 8.04 why is that?
[02:16] <Mal3ko> could someone please recommend me a cmdline ftp uploader that support simultenenous uploads?
[02:16] <jesper_> DasEi: how do i get to the thing i should edit
[02:17] <Flannel> fryguy: Nah, the alternate/server/minimal CD is the only way to do LVM (although that'll hopefully change in the future)
[02:17] <Flannel> xp_prg: Do you have the proper packages installed?
[02:17] <xp_prg> I don't know, how can I tell?
[02:17] <DasEi> jesper: for some reason , your sda1 isn't mounted on /mnt/win but on /host , so you gotta look there
[02:17] <xp_prg> I install with apt-get right?
[02:18] <keepsake> xp_prg: Don't forget to sudo =P
[02:18] <Flannel> xp_prg: install update-manager-core, yeah
[02:18] <xp_prg> thanks ok
[02:18] <playya> hi. I'm trying to build a .deb for wuala. where do i have to install it that ia32-java finds it?
[02:18] <fryguy> Flannel: and does suspend-to-disk work as expected with encrypted lvm?
[02:18] <xp_prg> if I want to install ubuntu-server what do I do?
[02:18] <Flannel> xp_prg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended)
[02:19] <Flannel> xp_prg: What do you mean?  What do you currently have?
[02:19] <Flannel> fryguy: I have no idea.
[02:19] <xp_prg> I have seen this, I don't have gui support :(
[02:19] <keepsake> !ubuntu-server > xp_prg
[02:19] <jesper_> DasEi: Yep the files are in host, ive have to say thank you for your patience with my and thanks for your help :)!
[02:19] <xp_prg> I have ubuntu 8.04 right now but not sure if that is ubuntu-server or not
[02:19] <Flannel> xp_prg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has a number of installation methods for various set ups, some are headless (others are remote, etc).  Ah.
[02:19] <DasEi> jesper:np, but better think of a dualboot to avoid such ....
[02:20] <Flannel> xp_prg: Linux makes no differentiation between a "server" and a "desktop", they're all just programs.
[02:20] <xp_prg> Flannel is there some way to know if I am running desktop or server?
[02:20] <keepsake> xp_prg: What does "sudo uname -a" say?
[02:20] <fryguy> xp_prg: see if the "ubuntu-desktop" package is installed
[02:20] <keepsake> xp_prg: oops, no need to sudo
[02:20] <vaxius> xp_prg: did you have to install a desktop environment?
[02:20] <jesper_> DasEi: The problem was that when i was going to install ubuntu, my cd wont boot it up, i get to the bot screen and choose instal, but there it just frooze :/
[02:20] <vaxius> xp_prg: if not, then you have desktop
[02:20] <Flannel> xp_prg: There's no difference.  Theres a separate kernel for the server that has some stuff you may or may not actually want.  But "everything" can be a server, and there's not really a hard fast line for what a "desktop" is either.
[02:21] <xp_prg> this is a virtual server so I just said to go with ubuntu, it all happened behind the scenses
[02:21] <aprilhare> ok: i got video on backdrop going using this http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-loop-movie-or-video-as-desktop.html however all my icons disappear!
[02:21] <jstritar> does anyone have experience repairing ext3 file systems with fsck?
[02:21] <aprilhare> this of course isn't very helpful. i need icons
[02:21] <aprilhare> any hints?
[02:21] <DasEi> jesper_: 80% of that is bad installation media or cd-drive
[02:21] <Mal3ko> could someone please recommend me a cmdline ftp uploader that support simultenenous uploads?
[02:21] <msutton> 7.5TB is a lot of porn.
[02:22] <jesper_> DasEi: yea but i have 20 live cd's at home, and the only thing left was wubi :P
[02:22] <vaxius> !find ftp Mal3ko
[02:22] <keepsake> Mal3ko: Dumb suggestion, but try separate Terminal windows with ftp? =P
[02:22] <jstritar> When I run fsck I get this ... Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8). ... I'm a little scared to run fsck -y ... is that the normal way to repair a file system?
[02:22] <vaxius> !find ftp | Mal3ko
[02:23] <Flannel> !ftp | Mal3ko, vaxius
[02:23] <tomvolek> hi , running ubuntu 8.1 ...No video is shown once i go to youtube... any ideas
[02:23] <tomvolek> in firefox 3
[02:23] <euxneks> hrm
[02:23] <DasEi>  jstritar: run e2fsck from a live cd on the NOT mounted drive, try : sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sdXX
[02:23] <Mal3ko> keepsake: what do you mean?
[02:23] <euxneks> I ran across how to clean out KDE from your system but I've since forgotten the commands
[02:24] <maddhat> Hey guys,
[02:24] <keepsake> Mal3ko: if you do "ftp" in Terminal, it opens a command-line FTP "program",
[02:24] <jstritar> DasEi: Its on a RAID array that's not mounted right now
[02:24] <vaxius> Flannel: thanks, just starting to get the hang of ubottu
[02:24] <DasEi>  jstritar: if that doesn't work, e2fsck suggst an alternative superblock mostly
[02:24] <ekontsevoy> Is anyone using command-line version of bittorrent? In my case btlaunchmanycurses seems to ignore --max_upload_rate option: my download speed is 27kb/s while upload is 110kb/sec (max) making my connection barely usable
[02:24] <keepsake> Mal3ko: and if you have two or three Terminal windows each running FTP, you essentially have multiple connections
[02:24] <thiebaude> euxneks: do you mean sudo apt-get autoremove
[02:24] <Flannel> !puregnome | euxneks
[02:24] <Mal3ko> keepsake: i know, but does it really support uploading smultenous uploads?
[02:24] <euxneks> ahh
[02:24] <euxneks> that's the one
[02:24] <Mal3ko> afaik, no
[02:24] <euxneks> puregnome thanks
[02:24] <keepsake> Mal3ko: I haven't tried, sorry =\
[02:24] <maddhat> how good is ntfs support on ubuntu?  cuz i cant get my 1.5tb formatted to ext3 properly with gparted/fdisk
[02:24] <CyaniCs2> anyone know an easy way to bing keystrokes to extra mouse buttons?
[02:24] <keepsake> maddhat: qtdisk?
[02:24] <fryguy> maddhat: support is pretty much flawless
[02:25] <RB2> Evening. Amarok is reporting my sound device as being in use but it isn't. Is there a way I can see what applications are supposedly using the device?
[02:25] <keepsake> maddhat: qtparted, sorry
[02:25] <keepsake> !qtparted > maddhat
[02:25] <DasEi>  jstritar: I don't know much about raid /e2fsck,  but basically you got to check hd/parti  per hd/parti
[02:25] <fryguy> RB2: lsof
[02:25] <maddhat> whichever is on the live cd
[02:25] <jstritar> DasEi: ah... I ran the fsck -y right before you said that
[02:25] <DasEi>  jstritar: Is it stripeed or mirrored ?
[02:25] <jstritar> both
[02:25] <RB2> fryguy, thanks! Any suggestions on a string to grep for?
[02:25] <mushroomcheeseom> @Gnea it freezes solid. so it's not RAM then? what are the possibilities
[02:25] <vaxius> maddhat: it's very good, just be aware that it doesn't support ntfs journaling yet
[02:25] <keepsake> maddhat: The default ones don't work so well with ntfs, get a bootdisk with qtparted.
[02:25] <jstritar> its raid 10 with a 3ware controller
[02:26] <fryguy> RB2: read the manpage, and use lsof on the device node
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> mushroomcheeseom overheating
[02:26] <jstritar> i verified the raid unit before running it
[02:26] <em_pleh> is blu-ray supported in ubuntu?
[02:26] <maddhat> the default what?
[02:26] <RB2> fryguy, thanks.
[02:26] <fryguy> em_pleh: sure
[02:26] <keepsake> maddhat: afaik qtparted is a much better alternative to Gparted
[02:26] <keepsake> maddhat: default partitioning software, i.e. gparted
[02:26] <em_pleh> fryguy:  what player will play them?
[02:26] <maddhat> ah ok
[02:26] <fryguy> em_pleh: mplayer
[02:27] <em_pleh> does it support blu-ray live?
[02:27] <maddhat> well it's in the midst of formatting now to ntfs, but ill try qtparted on the other one! thanks
[02:27] <jstritar> DasEi: you can lose data on ext3 drives that aren't cleanly unmounted??
[02:27] <vaxius> maddhat: I've used the gparted on System Rescue CD and GParted's own distro, and I've never had a problem with it.  Maybe you're using an older version?
[02:27] <keepsake> maddhat: I did partitioning on my ntfs drive with qtparted, so I can tell you personally it works fo rme
[02:27] <fryguy> em_pleh: no idea
[02:27] <DasEi>  jstritar: I'm not familar with hard-raids, but think from live you check one per one (partition), maybe tryy to find a more experienced user
[02:27] <ian__> hey guys, I am newish to linux and am duel booting vista/ubuntu.  Under vista my wireless strength is 100% but with ubuntu it is only 38%.  I am using all linksys hardware.  Any ideas?
[02:27] <icehawk> i tried to run apt-get update and it gave me E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:27] <RB2> fryguy, strange. It doesn't show that any application is using the sound device. :-/
[02:27] <fryguy> RB2: you are probably using the wrong sound device
[02:27] <keepsake> icehawk: did you sudo? =P
[02:27] <fryguy> icehawk: close the gui updater
[02:27] <maddhat> well it was a brand new drive, it didnt have anything on it..(not even ntfs) and it gave the error "cannot have -1 sectors on partition"
[02:27] <coz_> RB2,  do you have synaptic package manager opened?
[02:28] <DasEi>  jstritar:in worst cases, but mostly it can be repaired, if any probs at all
[02:28] <jstritar> ok
[02:28] <maddhat> but i wouldve thought fdisk shouldve worked :-/
[02:28] <mikef> ian: were you root?
[02:28] <keepsake> maddhat: Try running testdisk to fix some problems.
[02:28] <RB2> fryguy, this happens after I let the system sit overnight with Amarok or another multimedia app open.
[02:28] <nbeebo> can some1 be nice and add a clock into my conky? noone in #conky
[02:28] <vaxius> ian__: it might be missreporting the strength, does it seems any slower?
[02:28] <RB2> coz_, no, not atm
[02:28] <maddhat> testdisk installed by default? or is that the package name to get?
[02:28] <keepsake> maddhat: package name
[02:28] <DasEi>  jstritar:shouldn't happen with a raid 10
[02:28] <ian__> yes was root and yes it does seem slower
[02:28] <maddhat> alright thanks!
[02:28] <icehawk> i tried to run apt-get update and it gave me E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:28] <jstritar> DasEi: its because i put the computer into standby
[02:28] <coz_> RB2,  mm  you will get a similar error from the terminal if synapitc is still opened
[02:28] <jstritar> that fucked up the whole thing
[02:29] <keepsake> icehawk: Did you run it with "sudo apt-get update"?
[02:29] <thiebaude> !language
[02:29] <icehawk> yes i did
[02:29] <euxneks> thank you all
[02:29] <jstritar> DasEi: i couldn't even boot for a while, and the bios didn't recognize any devices
[02:29] <DasEi>  jstritar:hibernation is often an problem leading to hard resets, mmh
[02:29] <keepsake> icehawk: And if you have the Synaptics Package Manager or an updater running, close it.
[02:29] <maddhat> stay away from these 1.5tb seagates guys.. you have to update the firmware on some cuz it randomly drops out.. its so bad that they even have the download link on newegg's site
[02:29] <vaxius> ian__: it could be power management problems with your hardware, try googling your chipset
[02:30] <icehawk> k ill try it again
[02:30] <RB2> coz_, a reboot fixes it. But, times like now, when I have 20 application windows open, it's not very convenient to reboot.
[02:30] <jstritar> DasEi: luckilly i just have data on that disk and not the os
[02:30] <DasEi>  jstritar: how many drives are in the box ?
[02:30] <coz_> RB2,  yeah i understand  but at least it is fixed
[02:30] <jstritar> DasEi: its 4 on the raid 10 and then ubuntu is on an ssd
[02:31] <RB2> coz_, I missed one in the lsof. It says the mixer app is using the device, but is that not normal?
[02:31] <DasEi>  jstritar: so if it's just storage, you'd have to run e2fsck 4 times from live then
[02:31] <jstritar> why do you have to run it so many times?
[02:32] <coz_> RB2,  is this for  your sound?
[02:32] <DasEi>  jstritar: ... unless each drives contains one partiton only
[02:32] <jstritar> oh i see
[02:32] <RB2> coz_, yes. If I leave it overnight with any multimedia app up, the next day I have no sound from any app and it says the device is in use.
[02:32] <jstritar> DasEi:  all 4 drives form 1 partition
[02:33] <jstritar> thats what the raid does
[02:33] <coz_> RB2,   you might want to ask in #alsa   they may have more info for youabout this
[02:33] <AzizLight> how can I enable completion for sudo commands please?
[02:34] <gluonman> I've been going over article after article online and I can't seem to figure out how to resolve the issue of gspca not compiling in Ubuntu 8.10 and the most recent kernel. I need it to be able to use my Logitech Quickam. Any ideas?
[02:34] <fryguy> AzizLight: run in a proper root shell (nobody in here likes doing that), or just type the command out like normal, and then hit "ctrl-a sudo "
[02:34] <fryguy> gluonman: "not compiling" doesn't mean much to us.  paste an error
[02:35] <mortal1> hey guys, is there an init.d script to restart the ubuntu sound deamon thingy
[02:35] <gluonman> fryguy, sure thing.
[02:35] <icehawk> i just installed gournal through apt-get so where is it gonna be? It isn't under my apps tab
[02:35] <DasEi>  jstritar: run a live, use sudo fdisk -l to get correct partition-names, put them into e2fsck - p
[02:36] <AzizLight> fryguy: is it possible to enable completion for sudo commands?
[02:36] <fryguy> AzizLight: no idea, I don't use sudo
[02:36] <fryguy> AzizLight: and when I do, i do like i described above
[02:37] <mortal1> fryguy: sudo su, har har
[02:37] <AzizLight> ok, I think loging as root is overkill most of the times. After, it depends what you do
[02:37] <vaxius> AzizLight: it works for me
[02:39] <AzizLight> vaxius: I use linux because it doesnt just work, and I use a mac for the exact opposite reason ;)
[02:39] <vaxius> !info gournal > me
[02:39] <fryguy> AzizLight: you mean you use osx?
[02:39] <fryguy> AzizLight: I run linux on my mac hardware at work
[02:39] <AzizLight> yeah
[02:39] <keepsake> vaxius: > me sends it to everyone else too, I think =P
[02:39] <icehawk> i installed gournal through apt-get so where would it be? It isn't under my apps tab up top
[02:39] <Draceee> hello
[02:39] <fryguy> icehawk: "which gournal" will tell you where it is, if you need to create a launcher for it, go ahead and do that
[02:40] <eseven73> what kernel version does ubuntu 6.06 have?
[02:40] <Draceee> I cant enter my password at terminal
[02:40] <fryguy> icehawk: if you think it should be adding a menu entry by itself, file a bug on launchpad
[02:40] <AzizLight> fryguy: I use a macbook pro with osx and ubuntu on my desktop
[02:40] <fryguy> Draceee: just enter it and press enter, it doesn't echo text back to you
[02:40] <thiebaude> icehawk: it could be in usr/bin
[02:40] <Draceee> ah
[02:40] <Draceee> this time it worked
[02:40] <vaxius> AzizLight: I don't know what to say, tab completion with sudo has always "just worked" for me without any fiddling
[02:42] <Draceee> Im trying to install java
[02:42] <Draceee> rpm command doesnt work for me
[02:42] <lstarnes> Draceee: ubuntu does not sue rpm
[02:42] <lstarnes> *use
[02:42] <vaxius> !apt-get | Draceee
[02:43] <keepsake> Draceee: Ubuntu uses .deb =P
[02:43] <fryguy> Draceee: ubuntu is debian based, it uses apt by default, not rpms
[02:43] <Flannel> !java | Draceee
[02:43] <thiebaude> Draceee: java is in synaptic
[02:43] <AzizLight> vaxius: lol Im so sorry, I misunderstood what you said before :S on my friend's compy it's working too, but he's using debian...
[02:43] <Hasbro> How do I make a new user
[02:43] <Hasbro> and make him admin?
[02:44] <Hasbro> sorry, via ssh
[02:44] <icehawk> So i found gournal and the application ran good but how do i get a copy of an icon on the desktop
[02:44] <keepsake> Draceee, thiebaude: It's actually even in Add/Remove..., if you set the dropdown to All Available Applications
[02:44] <fryguy> adduser command, make them part of the adm and admin groups
[02:44] <vaxius> Hasbro: adduser
[02:44] <thiebaude> icehawk: make a launcher
[02:44] <Hasbro> adduser makes them root?
[02:44] <lstarnes> Hasbro: no, it just creates an account
[02:44] <fryguy> Hasbro: no, the second part of what I said does
[02:44] <icehawk> how do i make a launcher
[02:44] <Soliloquial> what's the fastest way to install a lamp stack in intrepid desktop?
[02:45] <vaxius> Hasbro: no, !adduser
[02:45] <fryguy> icehawk: right click on the panel and add it
[02:45] <thiebaude> keepsake: i didn't know that,:)
[02:45] <Hasbro> !adduser
[02:45] <Flannel> Hasbro: adduser username then adduser username admin
[02:45] <Hasbro> Thank you
[02:45] <fryguy> Soliloquial: sudo apt-get install apache php5 mysql-server
[02:45] <Flannel> Soliloquial: sudo apt-get tasksel lamp-server
[02:45] <Flannel> Soliloquial: er, ignore the apt-get
[02:45] <vaxius> Hasbro: np
[02:46] <icehawk> when i right click on the icon for gournal creating a luancher isn't an option for me/
[02:46] <keepsake> icehawk: Just right click on desktop
[02:46] <keepsake> icehawk: And make a launcher from there, targetting /usr/bin/gournal
[02:46] <keepsake> icehawk: or wherever the file was
[02:46] <thiebaude> icehawk: then browse to the location where your program is
[02:47] <vaxius> icehawk: it should be in the applications menu too, so you can right-click and choose "add this launcher to desktop"
[02:47] <keepsake> vaxius: It's not in the apps menu, that's why he needs to make the launcher =P
[02:47] <thiebaude> usr/bin
[02:47] <vaxius> keepsake: oic
[02:50] <ryaxnbwacko> hello does anyone have a site with a list of vesa bios boot codes for linux
[02:50] <ryaxnbwacko> you know vga=768 or whatever
[02:50] <Soliloquial> Flannel, it's not parsing the php
[02:50] <ryaxnbwacko> I am using VM in virtualbox and don't want to install the guest additions]
[02:52] <qcjn> hi, i,ve got myself a little Jazz HDV188 videocam, & it is supposed to read mp3, so i've put some in it, but it don't see it ?  Now i really need those boot codes because the one I have doesn't work at all anymore :(
[02:53] <ryaxnbwacko> Before I had 800x600 now it just logs out when you login after looking really strange for a second
[02:56] <DasEi> ryaxnbwacko:yast ? > suse, this is ubuntu
[02:56] <bobbob1016> I've been looking around for how to repair the superblock on an ext3 formatted hd, and I can't find any tutorials that give options, just say "this worked for me"  I don't want to lose data, can anyone help me find the right settings?
[02:56] <jrib> !lamp > Soliloquial
[02:57] <vaxius> gluonman: do you have linux-headers installed?
[02:57] <mangojambo> hello there ... how can I easily install the new KdenLive 0.7 on Intrepid ?
[02:57] <DasEi>  bobbob1016: get the correct identifier of the device ...
[02:57] <gluonman> vaxius, I assume so, but let me double check that.
[02:57] <Soliloquial> jrib I understand what lamp is; I just overlooked an apache config error
[02:58] <Soliloquial> jrib; oops thanks
[02:58] <jrib> Soliloquial: the link ubottu gave you contains a troubleshooting guide to your issue.  But if you've sorted, then it doesn't matter :)
[02:58] <gluonman> vaxius, yes, I do have linux-headers installed.
[02:58] <bobbob1016> DasEi, As in /dev/sde1?  I wasn't too descriptive I noticed, I did fsck /dev/sde1 and it said zero-length drive or something
[02:58] <Draceee> where is the mozilla firefox directionairy located?
[02:58] <vaxius> I guess it might need the whole source, idk
[02:58] <guman> hi !
[02:58] <jrib> Soliloquial: you shouldn't need to manually edit the apache config to get php working by the way
[02:58] <guman> i need help
[02:58] <vaxius> guman: hi!
[02:58] <Draceee> Where is the Mozilla Firefox folder?
[02:58] <keepsake> Draceee: /usr/bin/firefox-*
[02:59] <vaxius> guman: i do too, but no one's qualified :-P
[02:59] <guman> im sorry for my english is not good enough
[02:59] <Draceee> ah thanks
[02:59] <DasEi> bobbob1016: from a live cd on the NOT mounted hd : sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sde1
[02:59] <vaxius> Draceee: .mozilla/firefox
[02:59] <guman> i cant unnistall google earth
[02:59] <gluonman> vaxius, ever since the upgrade to 8.10, webcam compatibility has gotten worse. I'm a die-hard linux fan, and particularly in love with Ubuntu, but when it comes to webcams, Ubuntu just doesn't have it together. I can't even receive webcam invitations in kopete anymore.
[03:00] <bobbob1016> DasEi, Ok, I'll reboot.  The drive isn't mounted now, or so says gparted, but I'll reboot just to be safe, if need be
[03:00] <Draceee> Its not in bin
[03:00] <vaxius> gluonman: I don't remember what I had to do to get mine to work on my other laptop, but I know the driver wasn't in the repos
[03:00] <guman> i used syanptic to uninstall but still there
[03:00] <bobbob1016> DasEi, that isn't destructive is it?
[03:01] <keepsake> Draceee: Try the directory vaxius suggested, ~/.mozilla/firefox
[03:01] <gluonman> vaxius, gscpa-source is in the repos, and it supports quickcam. But ever since the newer kernel came out, it no longer compiles.
[03:01] <mangojambo> guman: yes... from the googleearth installer and not Synaptic, right? there is an uninstall file on googleearth folder, i guess ...
[03:01] <guman> well
[03:01] <DasEi> bobbob1016: it either runs through, with a very little chance of destruction, or gives you additional information
[03:02] <Draceee> What would ~ indicate?
[03:02] <fryguy> Draceee: home directory
[03:02] <keepsake> Draceee: Home Folder
[03:02] <keepsake> Draceee: directory, my bad =P
[03:02] <DasEi> Draceee: home folder
[03:02] <vaxius> gluonman: hmmm, i've been having trouble with the new kernel too (wireless with me), so I'm still kickin it with hardy
[03:02] <guman> really i unistall but still working the lauch icon from aplications
[03:02] <Draceee> I dont see it there...
[03:02] <keepsake> Draceee: press Ctrl+H
[03:02] <gnutron> gluonman: i had the same problem, try this- mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0
[03:02] <gluonman> vaxius, yeah. I have been working on this webcam for 13 days no and still no luck.
[03:03] <gluonman> gnutron, I'll give that a try.
[03:03] <gnutron> gluonman: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0
[03:03] <bobbob1016> DasEi, Mind if I ask what it's doing?  e2fsck is a specific ext2 thing right?  So I guess I heard right when I heard ext3 was ext2+, but what does the -p do?
[03:03] <DasEi> Draceee:try :  cd ~/Desktop
[03:03] <ultratek> how do i merge a partion with the partition i have ubuntu running on?
[03:04] <gluonman> gnutron, what exactly is that doing?
[03:04] <Draceee> Ehh no...its not in desktop
[03:04] <fryguy> ultratek: use a partioning tool like partition magic or gparted
[03:04] <vaxius> bobbob1016: ext3 is just ext2 with journaling, so the same tool does both
[03:04] <DasEi> Draceee:try :  man e2fsck , p is for preen, automatik repair, and as I said, if bigger probs occur, it stops and gives additional info
[03:04] <ultratek> fryguy: there is no merge option in gparted
[03:04] <gnutron> gluonman: run that line in a terminal, it uses mplayer, intrepid whacked my vlc
[03:05] <fryguy> ultratek: you'll have to copy data over, delete partition and then resize
[03:05] <bobbob1016> DasEi, I'm trying now, I'll report back.
[03:05] <guman> well everybody is busy here, i comeback later,but the way xubuntu 8.10 working good with logitech qickcam4000
[03:05] <ultratek> fryguy: how do i copy my current linux setup over ?
[03:05] <Draceee> Fouind it
[03:05] <gnutron> gluonman: it'll display your cam if its on /dev/video0
[03:05] <Draceee> usr/lib/mozilla
[03:06] <gluonman> gnutron, but will that allow me to build gspca and view/send webcam in kopete?
[03:06] <fryguy> ultratek: cp, dd, cat, nc, depending on what exactly you need to do
[03:06] <gnutron> gluonman: nah
[03:06] <myth> i'm trying to set nautilus to overburn, what's with schema values in gconf-editor? it won't let me enable it
[03:06] <ultratek> duplicate this running setup on the new partition
[03:06] <runpain2> how do i change clock to 12 hour instead of 24
[03:06] <gnutron> gluonman: intrepid aint intrepid imho
[03:06] <andrex> alguien sabe el canal  irc de ubuntu  en español????
[03:06] <gluonman> gnutron, yeah. That's the problem I'm having. Getting my webcam to work.
[03:06] <keepsake> runpain2: Right click on clock, Preferences, 24 hr
[03:07] <runpain2> i am using kubuntu 8.04
[03:07] <andrex>  alguien sabe el canal  irc de ubuntu  en español????
[03:07] <andrex>  alguien sabe el canal  irc de ubuntu  en español????
[03:07] <vaxius> fryguy: when installing, keep /home to a separate partition, then you can keep your settings and files, and easily recover them if something bad happens
[03:07] <runpain2> keepsake, there is no preferances
[03:07] <fryguy> vaxius: why are you telling me this
[03:07] <Soliloquial> Is there a way I can set a function key to hide all windows?
[03:08] <bebis> hi
[03:08] <keepsake> runpain2: The clock in the upper-right corner? You should get something like Copy Time, Copy Date, Adjust Date & Time, Preferences
[03:08] <vaxius> fryguy: i might have misread, you want to port your settings from a previous install, right?
[03:08] <runpain2> keepsake,  i got configure clock at menu bottom
[03:08] <qcjn> gnutron: hi, i've bought myself a little Jazz HDV188 videocam, it say's it can play mp3, but the cam doesn't see it. I've made a drag and drop..Could it be right problem's ?
[03:09] <runpain2> when i right click
[03:09] <keepsake> runpain2: Sure, try that.
[03:09] <runpain2> did no setting to change time format
[03:09] <bebis> hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[03:09] <mushroomcheeseom> so aside from overheating (& if it's not RAM), what else could make the system freeze?
[03:09] <fryguy> vaxius: no
[03:09] <vaxius> fryguy: yep, i misread, that was ultratek
[03:09] <Draceee> I dont have permission to move a folder into /usr?
[03:10] <keepsake> runpain2: What version of Ubuntu are you running? Are you changing the clock in the bar at the top, to the right?
[03:10] <fryguy> Draceee: right, /usr is a system directory, trying to move something in there is (probably) wrong
[03:10] <gnutron> qcjn: depends on the module it uses, google your camera modules for intrepid, you may need to build and install the module manually. im not gonna bother.
[03:10] <runpain2> apperance or time zone tabs only no way to change format
[03:10] <myth> can nautilus itself burn an iso and not use brasero?
[03:10] <runpain2> Kubuntu 8.04
[03:10] <Danu> Hello. ¿how are you? plese could you tell me a super cool theme please
[03:11] <gnutron> qcjn: google the camera + intrepid
[03:11] <qcjn> gnutron: ok, thanks !
[03:11] <fryguy> Danu: art.gnome.org and www.gnome-look.org
[03:11] <keepsake> runpain2: Ah, I thought you were using Ubuntu
[03:11] <bobbob1016> DasEi, It gave me a bunch of results, ata9.00 UNC errors, and the last line was "Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sde1  Could this be a zero-length partition?"
[03:12] <Danu> I know those pages Mr. fryguy, but a name of a cool theem
[03:12] <gnutron> Draceee: don't mess with the 'nix filesystem heirarchy, its a recipe for disaster.
[03:12] <Danu> theme*
[03:12] <fryguy> Danu: visit the pages and pick something that appeals to you
[03:12] <keepsake> runpain2: google tells me to right-click on the clock, and choose Time/Date Format, then change it to 24 hr
[03:12] <DasEi> bobbob1016: did you check /dev/sde1 with sudo fdisk -l or looked it up in gparted ? valid ext parti ?
[03:12] <runpain2> sorry wrong room
[03:12] <Danu> there's so many...
[03:12] <grafix1> Does anyone know how to check which graphics driver is active other than xorg.conf?
[03:13] <cr4z3d> Danu: that's the beauty of choice
[03:13] <keepsake> runpain2: try right clicking and choosing time/date format
[03:13] <fryguy> grafix1: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:13] <Danu> :(
[03:13] <bobbob1016> DasEi, What do you mean?  Yes, gparted showed a partition, and said it was there, not sure exactly what it said the problem was.  I'll do sudo fdisk -l.
[03:13] <runpain2> did not there either
[03:14] <grafix1> fryguy: thanks, I'll try that
[03:14] <cr4z3d> Danu: if you don't like the default theme try blubuntu, see this link how to do it: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/02/26/turn-ubuntu-blue-using-blubuntu/
[03:14] <keepsake> runpain2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=793466
[03:14] <DasEi> bobbob1016: and type ext2 or 3 ?
[03:14] <nclife> hi, I want to convert a .m4a file into .mp3. Anyone knows a program that does that?
[03:14] <fryguy> nclife: lame
[03:14] <bobbob1016> DasEi, ext3
[03:14] <runpain2> found it thanks
[03:14] <ross`> what packages do i need to isntall to run vmware client?
[03:15] <Draceee> it gave me a permisssion denied when trying to create a symbolic link
[03:15] <DasEi> bobbob1016: did e2fsck suggest an alternate superblock ?
[03:15] <runpain2> keepsake,
[03:15] <fryguy> Draceee: why are you changing things in /usr?  you almost certainly shouldn't be.
[03:15] <vaxius> !info vmware-server | ross`
[03:15] <gnutron> Draceee: sudo ln
[03:15] <ross`> no no
[03:15] <ross`> not to install it
[03:15] <nclife> fryguy, lame is the name of the program?
[03:15] <ross`> im talking about
[03:15] <ross`> what packages do i need to run it
[03:15] <Draceee> Im not
[03:15] <ross`> ?
[03:15] <FloodBot3> ross`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:15] <fryguy> nclife: right
[03:15] <bobbob1016> DasEi, Not that I saw, it just gave me a bunch of those ata9.00's and the Attempt to read...  at the end
[03:15] <gluonman> Can anyone spare the time to check out my compilation errors that I've posted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/84628/ ? I need to find a solution so that I can get my webcam running.
[03:15] <mker> nclife, soundconverter
[03:15] <DasEi> ross`: you can get vmwareplayer as tar.gz from vmware, not the repo and then see:
[03:15] <Draceee> Just installing java, and mozilla is in usr
[03:15] <DasEi> !compile
[03:16] <ross`> NO, what do i need to RUN vmware
[03:16] <Lord_of_Nothing> Can anyone walk me through the process of mounting my c drive?
[03:16] <ross`> i already have all the files but i get errors running them
[03:16] <nclife> fryguy, mker oks, thanks
[03:16] <fryguy> Draceee: install java from the package repository
[03:16] <Draceee> ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7
[03:16] <keepsake> Lord_of_Nothing: Is it in your Places dropdown?
[03:16] <bobbob1016> DasEi, I saw a few posts online about putting in a "superblock" thing, I just thought that was drive-dependent, so I wasn't sure where to figure out where to put mine
[03:16] <gnutron> !ntfs | Lord_of_Nothing
[03:16] <vaxius> ross`: just installing it from repos will resolve dependencies
[03:16] <Draceee> Eh so?
[03:16] <Lord_of_Nothing> keepsake: Only my data drive, not C
[03:16] <Draceee> how so?*
[03:16] <ross`> vaxius: but i already downloaded and isntalled it
[03:16] <gnutron> Lord_of_Nothing: also install ntfs-config
[03:17] <ross`> so id rather just install the prerequesites
[03:17] <keepsake> Lord_of_Nothing: Do "sudo fdisk -l" and see which partition it's in
[03:17] <DasEi> bobbob1016: try again with fsck without any options
[03:17] <ross`> and run it
[03:17] <ross`> rather then uninstall and reinstall
[03:17] <Lord_of_Nothing> gnutron: I'll try that thx.
[03:17] <keepsake> Lord_of_Nothing: The /dev/sda1 or whatnot
[03:17] <bobbob1016> DasEi, Just fsck, not e2fsck?
[03:17] <Lord_of_Nothing> Reportin back in a few
[03:17] <gnutron> Draceee: thats wrong syntax
[03:17] <vaxius> You shouldn't need anything extra, just run vmware-config.pl
[03:17] <DasEi> ross`: you got vmwareplayer installed.... and got a vmware-image for it... , right ?
[03:17] <ross`> vaxius: i did
[03:18] <DasEi> bobbob1016: yes
[03:18] <alex_21> I am using Edubuntu Server, and I added the line default_server = <IP_ADDRESS> to the file /etc/pulse/client.conf What do I do for the changes to take effect in LTSP?
[03:18] <ross`> when i run ./vmware
[03:18] <ross`> i get an error
[03:18] <ross`> i got no error isntalling
[03:18] <ross`> but i need something
[03:18] <ross`> to run it
[03:18] <FloodBot3> ross`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:18] <gnutron> Draceee: man ln  or google making symlinks
[03:18] <ross`> that i dont have
[03:18] <bobbob1016> DasEi, I did "sudo fsck /dev/sde1" and it called e2fsck, and did the same thing
[03:18] <vaxius> ross`: what does it say you need?
[03:18] <Draceee> i used ln
[03:18] <ross`> carandraug: libcairo or somat but i already ahve it
[03:18] <Draceee> but it gives me permission denied
[03:18] <ross`> idk its weird
[03:18] <DasEi> !compile > ross`
[03:18] <keepsake> !enter > ross
[03:18] <gnutron> Draceee: you used it wrong
[03:19] <keepsake> !enter > ross`

[03:19] <vaxius> grrr
[03:19] <ross`> vaxius: thanks
[03:20] <carandraug> ross`, you used the wrong nick in "[03:18] <ross`> carandraug: libcairo or somat but i already ahve it"
[03:20] <alex_21> I am using hLTSP on Edubuntu Server, and I added the line default_server = <IP_ADDRESS> to the file /etc/pulse/client.conf What do I do for the changes to take effect in LTSP?
[03:20] <alex_21> LTSP, sorry
[03:21] <gnutron> Draceee: ln -s targetdir symlink
[03:22] <bobbob1016> DasEi, I have spinrite, butI know some people don't like it, should I try it anyways?
[03:22] <DasEi> bobbob1016: you can then  try alternate superblocks, maybe try a: sudo hdparm -z /dev/sde  before it
[03:22] <gnutron> Draceee: do that from the dir you want the symlink in.
[03:22] <DasEi> bobbob1016: looks like you're in deeper trouble
[03:22] <ross`> nope
[03:22] <bobbob1016> DasEi, What will hdparm give me?
[03:22] <ross`> still not working
[03:23] <DasEi> bobbob1016: rereading partition table
[03:23] <vaxius> bobbob1016: i'm a spinrite user, and it's probably the best on low-level problems
[03:23] <mker> When I change the home directory of a user I can no longer log in for SFTP. I've written all about it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002948 would really appreciate if someone could take a look.
[03:24] <bobbob1016> vaxius, And is this a low-level thing or no? Could this hurt?
[03:24] <gnutron> bobbob1016: don't run hdparm unless you know what your doing. read up.
[03:24] <DasEi> bobbob1016: next to alternate superblocks, I follow vaxiu...
[03:24] <vaxius> bobbob1016: it won't hurt, but it will take a while
[03:24] <rastahead> morning
[03:24] <bobbob1016> DasEi, I just get the same ata9.00 and buffer i/o errors
[03:24] <DasEi> bobbob1016: e2fsck -b 8193
[03:25] <bobbob1016> gnutron, Too late
[03:25] <vaxius> bobbob1016: best to run spinrite overnight
[03:25] <bobbob1016> vaxius, I was about to go to sleep anyways, 10:30pm here
[03:26] <gnutron> bobbob1016: nothing ventured, nothing gained, but be aware it can be risky.
[03:26] <bobbob1016> DasEi, Is that a safe block size or whatever?  It's a 320gig drive, formats to 298 and change
[03:26] <DasEi> bobbob1016: the problem is that we don't now, if/where there are backups could also try :  -b 32768  -b 32767  -b 32769
[03:26] <vaxius> bobbob1016: k, oh, and it beeps...LOUD...scared the crap out of me the first time i ran it, lol
[03:26] <bobbob1016> vaxius, I know spinrite beeps
[03:27] <bobbob1016> DasEi, But can I damage it if I put the wrong one in?
[03:27] <gnutron> bobbob1016: uhhh yeah
[03:27] <iShock> K guys, so I has this problem on Xubuntu 8.10 .. I copy my music to my PSP, but it doesn't stay. My PSP isn't saying USB Connection like it should either. Any idears?
[03:27] <DasEi> bobbob1016: yes, bigger chance than -p option
[03:28] <vaxius> bobbob1016: you may want to backup your partition(s) before experimenting with hdparm
[03:28] <iShock> K guys, so I has this problem on Xubuntu 8.10 .. I copy my music to my PSP, but it doesn't stay. My PSP isn't saying USB Connection like it should either. Any idears?
[03:28] <alex_21> How do you restart pulse?
[03:29] <keepsake> iShock: "dmesg" in console and pastebin it for people to look at.
[03:29] <DasEi> vaxius: the hdparm - z itself is harmless, unlike it's other options
[03:29] <keepsake> iShock: I meant Terminal
[03:29] <nimbus> Anyone know what would be the terminal syntax to find and delete all files named "thumbs.db"?
[03:29] <bobbob1016> vaxius, Too late.  Can I cancel it or no?  It seems stuck
[03:29] <gnutron> alex_21: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[03:29] <fryguy> nimbus: find / -name thumbs.db -exec rm {} \;
[03:29] <mker> Can anyone tell me how to change the home directory of a user to something else than /home/user and still be able to log in with openssh?
[03:29] <DasEi> bobbob1016: last cmd you ran ?
[03:30] <bobbob1016> DasEi, your hdparm one
[03:30] <nimbus> That seems to work, fryguy
[03:30] <bobbob1016> hdparm -z
[03:30] <iShock> K guys, so I has this problem on Xubuntu 8.10 .. I copy my music to my PSP, but it doesn't stay. My PSP isn't saying USB Connection like it should either. Any idears? http://vertex.cluenet.org/paste/10 for dmesg
[03:30] <vaxius> bobbob1016: no worries, then
[03:30] <alex_21> Thanks
[03:30] <fryguy> mker: just make sure /etc/passwd has the right entry for the user.  There shouldn't be any other steps required, unless strange permission things happen
[03:30] <DasEi> bobbob1016: easy, no prob, but alternate superblocks have a risk
[03:30] <D3RGPS31> Is there a way to change the way cache-dir displays cached sites, /dir/google.com instead of /dir/0A/00/...
[03:31] <D3RGPS31> in squid* >.>
[03:31] <maddhat> hey guys, printer question:  have an hp1012, and on every page it prints what i want it to, but about 1/2 page down it starts making a copy of the same thing it just printed, but very faded. i was thinking the fuser is overheating?
[03:31] <nimbus> deleting *.db might not be all that great though because there is a lot of .db files that were linux generated it seems.
[03:31] <fryguy> nimbus: so then don't do that, nobody told you to
[03:31] <keepsake> nimbus: thumbs.db is useless, hoever
[03:31] <DasEi> bobbob1016: the superblock~  is an attempt to find a backuped , correct filesystem to repair the partition, which can fail
[03:31] <vaxius> iShock: just copy it onto the stick without the psp, and then stick it back in when you're done
[03:32] <iShock> vaxius: How would I go about doing that? ...
[03:32] <mker> fryguy, It has the correct entry. I've been having this problem for ~2 weeks now and no one has an answer (well actually you're the first to reply). I've written more about it in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002948 but no replies there either.
[03:32] <rodolfo> guys, what codec do i need to play .wav files? the automatic codec finder cannot find anyone...
[03:32] <fryguy> mker: are you asking about ssh or sftp?
[03:32] <DasEi> bobbob1016: hdparm-z just rereads parti-table (<> zero length ?!), but doesn't alter the hd
[03:33] <mker> fryguy, sftp
[03:33] <vaxius> if you have a card reader, stick the memory stick duo into the memory stick adapter, and plug the whole thing into your card reader
[03:33] <mker> fryguy, the user is 'locked' so only sftp works
[03:33] <iShock> I don't, vaxius. This is a Xubuntu problem, not a PSP problem, vaxius.
[03:33] <DasEi> bobbob1016: are there important data's on it ? which size ?
[03:33] <fryguy> mker: using the scponly shell, or something else?
[03:34] <mker> fryguy, using the command 'sftp
[03:34] <fryguy> mker: how did you lock the user
[03:34] <fryguy> mker: using the scponly shell, or something else?
[03:34] <vaxius> iShock: k, just trying to bypass the psp altogether
[03:34] <iShock> Again, it's not a PSP problem.
[03:34] <DasEi> bobbob1016: if so, another idea is to try a knoppix live and to save data before further attemps
[03:35] <mker> fryguy, Locked it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002948 shows the settings I have in it.
[03:35] <vaxius> iShock: can you write to usb drives?
[03:35] <mker> fryguy, It works fine when home directory is /home/user but not when I change to /media/disk/mystyff
[03:36] <iShock> vaxius: Not a clue, don't have any.

[03:37] <Guest20372> vlc is good 2
[03:37] <daaaman64> fryguy thanks.
[03:37] <raylu> mker: i think it has something to do with how you must own your directory
