[20:20] <alexbOrsova> one sec
[20:21] <Slart> wems: check the application database.. appdb.winehq.org .. but I think the answer is yes
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: no need for full uuid's
[20:21] <renato> Slart, many things but no one is good...
[20:21] <javatexan> could it be the firewall....i don't see any rules in it.....then how does the port scanner find the nfsd if the firewall is blocking?  :(
[20:21] <ifireball> javatexan: are you exporting any filesystems on Ubuntu? does showmount -e show you what it should?
[20:21] <piroko> crazyman: I forget the command now, but you can always use packages.ubuntu.com
[20:21] <alexbOrsova> to copy files you use the cp command, right?
[20:21] <javatexan> ill try....hold on
[20:21] <piroko> alexbOrsova: yes
[20:21] <renato> Slart, the deal is, my hard disk has 157987,,, and i'm woried about it...
[20:22] <Optimus55> i have a question, my drive only lets me create 4 primary partiions. i had to erase my ubuntu swap partition so i could create another one for fedora 8. now ubuntu doesnt even show up in grub
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/Desktop/menu.lst.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)       as example
[20:22] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__:  I don't have much experience with tunnels, sounds like a VPN, which your network admin would have to set up, talk to your network admin
[20:22] <crazyman> piroko is locate an app or a command?
[20:22] <Optimus55> can i just recreate the swap partition and somehow fix grub?
[20:22] <boubbin> bsdunix so i need to store my keays to the remote machine and then it does not require a password anymore ?
[20:22] <Slart> renato: from the google hits it seems load_cycle_count is the number of times the hard drive heads have been parked.. is it on a laptop?
[20:22] <bsdunix> crazyman: whereis, find, which... all prety much useless compared to locate, regarding this. you gotta run it's update script as a non-root user after momentarily adjusting permissions
[20:22] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: I know, im working on it (got the hang of mount by now :) )
[20:22] <jose> I'm trying to programatically change the title of a gnome-terminal, I've tried echo -e '\E]0;mytitle\a' but it does not work, any ideas how I can do this?
[20:22] <ifireball> javatexan: nfs uses quite a few ports, except nfsd you also got mountd, lockd and portmap to name a few
[20:22] <piroko> crazyman: an app and a command are the same thing :-/
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Optimus55: Ou can create all the logical partitions you want in the extended partition although only 4 primary
[20:22] <freazer> My AMD X2 dual core system does not seem to be using both CPUs constantly. I have a screenshot of my CPU usage that shows load is alternating back and forth from one to the other. Is this normal? If the screenshot would help, what is a good service to temporarily post screenshots?
[20:22] <bryand> Hello, anyone have a moment to help with the install of an application that is not available via apt-get?
[20:23] <renato> Slart, yep....
[20:23] <bsdunix> boubbin: i think there are apps and alternative means of authentication for you to try
[20:23] <Slart> freazer: same thing here.. alternating sometimes
[20:23] <crazyman> lol ok :(
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> bryand: best to go through the docs from wherever you get that non-repo app
[20:23] <Slart> renato: well. .every time the hard drive goes to sleep, it parks the heads.. I don't think you have to worry about it
[20:23] <piroko> crazyman: When you run a command, you are merely launching an "app" or a program or a binary, whatever you wnat to call it
[20:23] <renato> Slart, find a problem related to it... and i don't know how to fix it...
[20:23] <javatexan> looks good its exporting the two directories and it looks like it is opening it up to my 2 lans  xxx.xxx.7.0/<IP_ADDRESS> and xxx.xxx.8.0/<IP_ADDRESS>
[20:23] <bryand> Well I did, and ran sudo ./configure and am getting errors
[20:24] <var> fixed it!
[20:24] <Slart> renato: you're having problems with the hard drive?
[20:24] <bsdunix> boubbin: apps that, yes, actually perform this task you describe
[20:24] <var> had to put the mouse in a different port!
[20:24] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo ok
[20:24] <var> now my machine is beautifully running!
[20:24] <piroko> bryand: You shouldn't run configure as root. Only make install as root
[20:24] <mirak> joomla is not in ubuntu ?
[20:24] <pike_> Optimus55: its possible removing the new partition will fix it i suppose. thats one of the reasons i always mean to save my partitions table info. logical partitions are the way to go usually to avoid that its usually just things like windows that cant handle em
[20:24] <bsdunix> var: for now
[20:24] <boubbin> bsdunix so im on a right track, thanks.
[20:24] <renato> Slart, no, it's ok... but....
[20:24] <bsdunix> boubbin:  np.
[20:24] <var> haha bsdunix yeah
[20:24] <var> now if i can just get my fucking ralink card working
[20:24] <Take0n> why can't I paste from documents folder tou usr\bin\share\someprog
[20:24] <Take0n> ?
[20:24] <bryand> ok, just tried that and get same error...
[20:24] <javatexan> ifireball: There are several other ports open....my port scanner doesnt give them names though
[20:24]  * var remembers spending a week trying to fix that last time
[20:24] <bryand> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler
[20:24] <bryand>  cannot create executables
[20:24] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: here's my Xorg.0.log file:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48575/  and here is my menu.lst file:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48576/
[20:24] <piroko> bryand: msg me the error
[20:25] <renato> Slart, they say that harddisk has 200000 cycles for it...
[20:25] <jose> I'm trying to programatically change the title of a gnome-terminal, I've tried echo -e '\E]0;mytitle\a' but it does not work, any ideas how I can do this?
[20:25] <ifireball> javatexan: is showmount available on the mac? what does shouwmount -e <ubuntu> give you there?
[20:25] <piroko> bryand: apt-get install build-essential
[20:25] <bulmer> Take0n-> look at the permission of that directory
[20:25] <piroko> bryand: Sorry, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[20:25] <bsdunix> Take0n: because you don't have write permissions to that directory
[20:25] <javatexan> ill. try....hold
[20:25] <bryand> ah, ok forgot about the build-essential... I saw that somewhere. Will try that now. Thanks!!!
[20:25] <Take0n> if I change the permission to the whole bin\ directory
[20:25] <Take0n> would it work then?
[20:25] <piroko> bryand: Yep
[20:25] <bsdunix> Take0n:  don't do that
[20:26] <Slart> renato: well.. powering up and down a hard drive all the time has to put some wear and tear on it.. just like all computer parts.. if you use them they break eventually
[20:26] <bulmer> Take0n-> thats not a place you'd want to put just any kind of documents
[20:26] <bsdunix> Take0n:  temporarily become someone who DOES have adequate permissions to write to that directory; sudo su
[20:26] <bsdunix> su su sudio
[20:26] <bsdunix> oh..
[20:26] <Slart> renato: if I were you I'd check my backups, or start doing them.. so when the drive fails you're not loosing to much
[20:27] <freazer> Is this process scheduling behavior normal? One application, it "switches" every 5 seconds or so http://imagegrotto.com/view-Screenshot7003.jpg
[20:27] <javatexan> ifireball:  It shows them.....LOL...now Im even more confused......;)
[20:27] <bsdunix> fsck'n phil collins
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: both options take you to cli where you can then start gdm and get in?
[20:27] <javatexan> on the mac os x, that is
[20:27] <renato> Slart, ok... I'll do that... anyway... thanks for the help....
[20:27] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: no, only the one with (recovery) at the end
[20:27] <Slart> renato: you're welcome
[20:27] <nano__> SCROTUM.
[20:27] <void^> freazer: pretty much normal result of running a single threaded app
[20:27] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: also, when I tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' it gave me an error
[20:28] <Take0n> bsdunix: that's not working
[20:28] <Slart> freazer: yup.. that looks normal to me
[20:28] <javatexan> does that mean there is a problem with mounting from the mac side of things?
[20:28] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: even though gdm works fine
[20:28] <ifireball> javatexan: well, it means we got basic portmap connectivity working and err... I think it was mountd?
[20:28] <jose> anyone know how to change the title of a gome-terminal windows programatically?
[20:28] <Take0n> I get root acc but I try to copy manually not through terminal
[20:28] <midgetnator> hello guys is it possible to install ubuntu on a 2gb hard drive?
[20:28] <poOrBOon> howto make ubuntu look like vista, I mean the transparent window bordes? I have compiz..
[20:28] <ifireball> javatexan: what kind of error does the mac give you anyway?
[20:28] <javatexan> i didnt play with portmap at all...I think allow and deny are both empty
[20:29] <dotpavan> jose: programatically? via a command?
[20:29] <freazer> Thanks everyone who responded, I just slapped the chip in and didn't do any configuring, I imagine it's an effort to reduce "wear and tear"?
[20:29] <javatexan> hold on...ill try again...don't remember the wording
[20:29] <jose> dotpavan: yes with a command
[20:29] <ifireball> javatexan: you don't need to play with it...
[20:29] <SonicChao> Oh no
[20:29] <JJackson> Well im downloading fedora core 8 because i cant get ubunutu to install, ciao
[20:29] <Take0n> if there is a dvd version of ubuntu then its better to run it live than installing it on a 2gb drive
[20:29] <midgetnator> hello is it possible to install ubuntu gutsy in a 2gb hard drive?
[20:29] <Slart> !ccsm | poOrBOon
[20:29] <ubotu> poOrBOon: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Did you setup multiple users on that system for ubuntu?
[20:29] <midgetnator> no its the cd alternate versino
[20:29] <midgetnator> version
[20:29] <Slart> midgetnator: I'd say yes
[20:30] <ifireball> javatexan: anyway, as far as I can remember you need portmap and lockd running on the client-side e.g. the mac
[20:30] <alexbOrsova> Jack_SParrow: not yet (no GUI :) ), only one user for me
[20:30] <midgetnator> ok great hahahaha
[20:30] <bulmer> midgetnator you dont have any other drives?
[20:30] <midgetnator> no
[20:30] <midgetnator> hahahahhahahahhaha
[20:30] <midgetnator> im repairing a computer a laptop and the hd died... so i have a 2gb hd and i dont want to give back the computer without an os while she purchase a new hd
[20:30] <poOrBOon> Slart I have Compiz! I need a theme that supports transparency like vista's window borders,
[20:30] <javatexan> okay .... the error I get today is bad username and or password.... but it never asks me to change it while connecting....
[20:30] <var> is evolution mail any good?
[20:31] <SonicChao> A friend of mine told me to change m username I'd have to go the Users, change it, then run this script when I was in my home folder /home/sonicchao: mv * /home/syntaxerror and them rm -rf /home/sonicchao
[20:31] <alexbOrsova> var: yes, it's a good app
[20:31] <SonicChao> And I can't log in!
[20:31] <phyz> var, that's the one i finally settled on
[20:31] <var> phyz: cool, i was just about to get thunderbird
[20:31] <SonicChao> And all my hidden files are gone
[20:31] <var> but i think it looks nice
[20:31] <SonicChao> It lets me in, then goes back to the splash screen
[20:31] <flokuehn> midgetnator: you can try to install an dsl on your usb stick
[20:31] <freazer> Thanks again everyone!
[20:31] <Jimmy__> Pici - cdecarlo - i have a list of some ports of my server that are open, does it means that they are forwarded ports to me or other clients?
[20:31] <bulmer> midgetnator-> does it have to be ubuntu? there are the smaller footprint like damn small linux
[20:31] <SonicChao> please help
[20:32] <midgetnator> bulmer : ill try damn small linux then
[20:32] <var> phyz: do you use imap gmail
[20:32] <Pici> Jimmy__: It means that they are either forwarded or they have endpoints on the server/router itself.
[20:32] <ifireball> SonicChao: because the mv didn't move the "hidden" files...
[20:32] <midgetnator> the thing is that she wont like the gui but if its temporal i dont think it will be a problem
[20:32] <flokuehn> midgetnator: sorry i meant your hd
[20:32] <SonicChao> ifireball: How do I get them back?
[20:32] <midgetnator> yeah ill give it a try or puppy linux
[20:32] <phyz> var, no i use hosted
[20:32] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: I agree
[20:33] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo you agree to me or pici?
[20:33] <SonicChao> ifireball: Or make a new user account from terminal
[20:33] <lwizardl> how do i find the source for my kernal?
[20:33] <ifireball> SonicChao: well, the gui is suppose to auto-recreate most of them on login, I don't know why it doesn't let you login
[20:33] <SonicChao> ifireball: ;;
[20:33] <dmakalsky> Hello, I am running gutsy on a thinkpad x60 and every once in a while when the screensaver is on, and I press a key or move the mouse, the text box to enter the password comes in, and the computer seemingly freezes... is this a known issue?  How can I debug?  It's an intermittent behaviour
[20:33] <Slart> poOrBOon: well.. aren't there themes to chose from? I seem to recall I had
[20:33] <Jimmy__> Pici end points?
[20:34] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: I don't want to sound like a jerk, but, you can't agree with question ... I was agreeing with pici
[20:34] <ifireball> SonicChao: how exactly did you change your account's name?
[20:34] <SonicChao> ifireball: In KDE's Users and Groups
[20:34] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo ic
[20:35] <xoqa> ./gridwars: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory..............heellp..please?
[20:35] <helloWorldm> Can someone answer a question for me about fstab?
[20:35] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: if a port is open it means that the machine (pc, router, ...) will accept connections on that port - that's an endpoint
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: Looks like he blew away his /home and didnt copy /mv all his files first
[20:35] <ifireball> SonicChao: I have no idea what that tool does, are you currently logged in the terminal with your new user?
[20:35] <Take0n> pls help me copy those files
[20:35] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: so, do you have any idea what's going on with my laptop?
[20:35] <helloWorldm> I want to know if I can set fstab to mount a drive on start up to /Storage and have the owner be helloworld and the group be storage
[20:35] <SonicChao> ifireball: I changed the name of my old user account and changed my home path to /home/syntaxerror
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask | helloWorldm
[20:35] <Ace2016> open up synaptic and search for libstdc++ and install it
[20:35] <ubotu> helloWorldm: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[20:35] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: the only error i see in your xorg.log is "AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable".  what error did you get with sudo dpkg-reconfigure gmd?
[20:36] <pike_> helloWorldm: what file system?
[20:36] <ifireball> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, somebody gave him bad advice, anyway I think this could be repaired... but i'd need to be sitting at the keyboard ;)
[20:36] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: gdm that is
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: I am at a loss on that...
[20:36] <helloWorldm> fat32
[20:36] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo and accepting connection doesnt means that it will forward it too.... right?
[20:36] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman:"invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action 'reload' failed"
[20:36] <ifireball> SonicChao: I asked how are you working _right now_
[20:36] <jose> does anyone know a command to change the title of a gnome-terminal window?
[20:36] <SonicChao> ifireball: my Windows partition
[20:37] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: does the folder/directory still exist...   would be my next question
[20:37] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: correct, it just means it if your talking to that port the machine will listen to what's being said
[20:37] <tijn> erhm, once i configured my system that when an event occurs (which normally results in a beep) my screen blinks, now i forget where i did this, anyone knows where?
[20:37] <pike_> helloWorldm: well you can chmod the /storage like sudo chmod USER:GROUP  bot for fat32 i typically do a umask=000 or somesuch under options if i need everyone to have access to it
[20:37] <SonicChao> Jack_Sparrow: I started to panic and recreated /home/sonicchao
[20:37] <SonicChao> But I changed my home path to /home/syntaxerror like he suggested
[20:37] <Jack_Sparrow> SonicChao: Ouch...
[20:37] <pike_> SonicChao: first rule 'dont panic'
[20:38] <helloWorldm> Pike, it seems like the drive will always be mounted as ROOT ROOT
[20:38] <ifireball> SonicChao: but you'v ran the "mv" command just like you typed before right?
[20:38] <phyz> jose, from a shell?
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> SonicChao: But you did delete forcefully a folder that was not empty then recreated it...
[20:38] <SonicChao> pike_: heh, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
[20:38] <jose> phyz: yep I want to be able to do it from the shell
[20:38] <var> woohoo!
[20:38] <ifireball> SonicChao: so basically it means you still got all your "non hidden" files in the new folder right?
[20:38] <bulmer> jose-> have you tried  gnome-terminal --help  ?
[20:38] <var> so happy i got ubuntu working!
[20:38] <phyz> jose, pretty sure bash has an escape sequence you can use
[20:39] <SonicChao> Jack_Sparrow: I just did what I was told. cd ~ mv * /home/syntaxerror rm -rf /home/sonicchao
[20:39] <var> wow alt+tab is neat
[20:39] <var> :)
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: I would say he did
[20:39] <SonicChao> I feel like
[20:39] <SonicChao> Such an idiot D:<
[20:39] <Jimmy__> where to find a driver for my alpha tv tuner  (tv card)?
[20:39] <dmakalsky> how do I get gnome to use xlock instead of the native screensaver tool?
[20:39] <SonicChao> ifireball: oh yes, I have all my non-hidden files in /home/syntaxerror
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> SonicChao: If it can be saved.. you are in the right place
[20:39] <Jimmy__> !tv
[20:39] <ubotu> http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out
[20:39] <jose> phyz: I've tried all the escape sequences I can find and none of them work
[20:40] <bulmer> jose-> have you tried  gnome-terminal --help  ?
[20:40] <pike_> helloWorldm: so like mount -o rw,uid=1234,gid=1321 /dev/sda1 /storage  maybe but if that doesnt work im not sure
[20:40] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: that's the error you need to research.  follow the steps in this thread.  it's older, but the commands should still be the same: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187177
[20:40] <dx9s_work> yeah.. any ubuntu distro maintainers here? curious if anyone can point me at the "actual" build scripts and sources used to make the various .deb files.. aka building from deb-src .. need to customize kernel for 4GB+ and also wanan recompile some audio stuff with newer development code (but hafta recompile many of the other programs against newer header files)
[20:40] <jumpkick> what does it mean when I get to "Configuring system locales" and my Ubuntu install locks up with caps and scroll lock flashing?
[20:40] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: ok
[20:40] <ifireball> SonicChao: how did you create the /home/syntaxerror directory in the 1st place?
[20:40] <ak5> hey guys, is there an automatic pastebin program like gentoo's wgetpaste for ubuntu (in the standard reposotries?) i'm trying to remotely (telephone) fix some stuff
[20:40] <helloWorldm> i will try
[20:40] <SonicChao> ifireball: mkdir
[20:40] <jose> bulmer: help only shows to start the terminal with -t <mytitle> I waned to be able to change the title from a shell script
[20:40] <Jimmy__> !vtv
[20:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vtv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:40] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: ill look into it, thanks a lot
[20:40] <javatexan> Yeah...now its HAPPY!!!!!!  THANK YOU!!!!!!!
[20:41] <Jimmy__> !ivtv
[20:41] <bulmer> jose-> you can put that in a script when you start a gnome terminal
[20:41] <ubotu> IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy
[20:41] <ifireball> SonicChao: dod you run that "mkdir" as normal user or root?
[20:41] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: good luck with it. if it doesn't work come back here
[20:41] <SonicChao> ifireball: ...root...
[20:41] <databits> can someone here help me out with upgrading my kernel ?
[20:41] <ifireball> SonicChao: ok, did you run any chown, or chmod command on that dir?
[20:41] <SonicChao> ifireball: No.
[20:41] <jose> bulmer: I thought of that, but then how do I execute the rest of the code in the script?
[20:41] <xoqa> aptitude is saying that libstdc++ is installed
[20:41] <crush_groove> jose .. try this "gnome-terminal --title=title" ie ..gnome-terminal --title= boohoo
[20:41] <Take0n> the cp command works for files but does it work for folders swell?
[20:42] <xoqa> but when i 'remove' it says there's nothing to remove
[20:42] <xoqa> help?
[20:42] <komputes> SMB on Gutsy is BUGGY, anyone else have issue with it???
[20:42] <Ax-Ax> how can i rename a folder in cli?
[20:42] <bulmer> jose-> at the very top it would be like  #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/perl  something like this
[20:42] <ifireball> SonicChao: ok, here is what happening, the GUI can and will create a new set of dotfiles ("hidden" files) for you, but it can't because it _cannot_write_to_your_new_dir_
[20:43] <SonicChao> ifireball: Oh, I get it.
[20:43] <flokuehn> Take0n: yes it does work for directorys too. you have to add the -r option for copying recursive
[20:43] <SonicChao> chmod let's me set permissions
[20:43] <Take0n> what does recursive mean?
[20:43] <javatexan> next item up for bid>>>> :)  >>>> I would like to do all the login and work on my ubuntu machine in my office down the hall from the machine on my windows box.  I have something called X-win32 which can do all the graphical stuff using StarNetSSH, rexec, rsh, or XDMCP...  In your experience which is more better to setup and use?
[20:43] <jose> bulmer: ok so how would I write a script that runs top with "top" as the window title?
[20:43] <ifireball> SonicChao: you need to make the new directory owned by you, e.g. login as root and run "chown <newuesr>:<newuser> /home/<newuser>"
[20:44] <SonicChao> ifireball: I think you're on to something
[20:44] <komputes> Ax-Ax: using mv or rename
[20:44] <SonicChao> ifireball: T_T In ubuntu you can't log in as root
[20:44] <javatexan> where can I start reading about it?
[20:44] <SonicChao> How do I?
[20:44] <bulmer> jose-> there is the #bash channel for scripting needs
[20:44] <flokuehn> Take0n: recursive means that cp copys every data in every subfolder of the main folder
[20:44] <ifireball> SonicChao: just login as normal user and do the same with "sudo" in front of it
[20:44] <pike_> Take0n: kinda start at the bottom and work your way up so delete the files inside first
[20:44] <jose> Cool I'll log in there thanks for the advice
[20:44] <komputes> SMB on Gutsy is BUGGY, anyone else have issues with creating Windows shares on Gutsy???
[20:45] <SonicChao> ifireball: That's the thing, it won't _let_ me log in.
[20:45] <Defyence> Anyone able to help me set up some USB speakers?
[20:45] <SonicChao> It bounces me back to the splash
[20:45] <tijn> erhm, once i configured my system that when an event occurs (which normally results in a beep) my screen blinks, now i forget where i did this, anyone knows where?
[20:45] <SonicChao> or with sudo in front will it because it can access all directories?
[20:45] <kev_> quit
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: would this be easier from a livecd session?
[20:46] <ericvw> !pastebin
[20:46] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[20:46] <SonicChao> Jack_Sparrow: Another big problem with my computer. The CD Drive is shot
[20:46] <phyz> jose, http://ahlamnote.blogspot.com/2007/04/change-title-of-xterm.html check PROMPT_COMMAND
[20:46] <ifireball> Jack_Sparrow: nope, he'll need to learn "mount"...
[20:46] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[20:46] <Take0n> ok and what is the path to usr/share/ ?
[20:47] <Take0n> I enter usr/share/amsn/ but it says wrong
[20:47] <SonicChao> ifireball: hold on, I can just 'sudo sonicchao' as my name and it'll let me in?
[20:47] <SonicChao> or 'sudo syntaxerror
[20:47] <jose> phyz: Thanks for teh pointer
[20:47] <ifireball> SonicChao: no you need to login to the terminal, e.g. in the graphical login screen, type "cnrl+alt+f1" to switch to terminal mode, there you can login
[20:47] <phyz> jose, it's set in my .bashrc so i bet that's it...
[20:47] <SonicChao> ifireball: let me try
[20:47] <Ax-Ax> komputes, thanks :)
[20:47] <SonicChao> I've tried virtual terminals in the past and I always get a ton of error messages stopping me from doing anything
[20:48] <komputes> Ax-Ax: no prob
[20:48] <SonicChao> Something about my CD drive, sdb, cannot be mounted
[20:48] <balleyne> Can anyone help me get a PCI wireless card working?
[20:48] <ifireball> SonicChao: well, use terminal #2 it shouldn't output the messages there
[20:48] <bulmer> balleyne-> on same pc as you are on now?
[20:48] <audihertz> Hey folks...  kind of a newbie here, trying to get a SMTP server setup on Ubunutu Server 7.10.  Need to set it up for outgoing only from the local network.  Anyone help?
[20:49] <SonicChao> ifireball: okay. you''ve been a great help. let me write down that command and try it.
[20:49] <SonicChao> :)
[20:49] <balleyne> bulmer: yes.. though I'm plugged into the wired at the moment - it's for a laptop
[20:49] <Wulfie> hey folks - Is Dmix enabled by default in Ubuntu?
[20:49] <spideyman> i need help with my monitor config i was foolin around with wine and now my desktop setting are screwy?
[20:49] <usr13> ifireball: I always start at tty6 and go down from there. :)
[20:49] <bulmer> balleyne-> well it will be messy for the routing table if you have both on at same time
[20:49] <pike_> audihertz: i can send you a generic help link. its no trouble really ;)
[20:50] <jose> phyz:  Thanks that did !
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: Seems to happen to me when I have effects on and try to play something in wine
[20:50] <ifireball> usr13: old habits die hard.. ;)
[20:50] <phyz> jose, np
[20:50] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> how do i reset them
[20:50] <SonicChao> ifireball: wrote it down, restarting now
[20:50] <balleyne> audihertz: Synaptic, Edit-> Mark packages by task -> Mail server - that might help, though I don't know any more about setting up mail servers
[20:50] <SonicChao> will you be here if it doesn't work?
[20:50] <audihertz> Appreciate any help Pike  :)  I got it working on a few tests, then it stopped.  I have no idea what I need for settings, very frustrated and so are my users.
[20:50] <ifireball> SonicChao: maybe... good luck!
[20:51] <SonicChao> thanks
[20:51] <balleyne> bulmer: ok, well, I can disconnect from wired to try the wireless, what would I need to do?
[20:51] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> now i can only choose 640 by 480 res in desktop settings
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: system pref- screen res.. but I am running feisty on this box
[20:51] <samuel_> Hello : how can I check if the daemon "samba" is working fine ?
[20:51] <usr13> balleyne: sudo dhclient
[20:51] <piglit> hello there i have got a question and i dont know where to google for this pc (called xp2600) i am using now has got a internet connection on eth0, but there is also a eth1 network card on the (xp2600 pc) witch is connected to a pc called shuttle how can i share the internet connection ? and (2) on a router samba did work fine but the router is now dead, how can i get a conection between the 2 pc's ?
[20:51] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> yeah it doesnt give me the choices anymore
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: Turn off effects for a start
[20:52] <samuel_> sudo /etc/init.d/samba status    ... doesn't seem to work.
[20:52] <bulmer> balleyne-> first step shutdown and have it plugged in on your pci slot and reboot
[20:52] <balleyne> usr13: haven't gotten that far, the wireless device is still saying I have no wireless extensions
[20:52] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow>effects in wine?
[20:52] <balleyne> bulmer: I had it in when I booted, and it shows up with an lspci
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: Someone will know more than I do on that..
[20:52] <audihertz> balleyne: thanks.  Will see what I can sort out.
[20:52] <bulmer> balleyne-> which card and wifi chip on it?
[20:53] <balleyne> bulmer: It seems to be eth4, but it says "no wireless extensions" when I run iwconfig
[20:53] <audihertz> BTW, I'm using postfix to get this working...  sorta  :S
[20:53] <piglit> ow and there are two orange led's on on the xp2600 pc
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: No-turn off effects in ubuntu... is where I seem to remember how I started to fix the prob.
[20:53] <spideyman> I think wine overwrote the config file but dont know where to look
[20:53] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> where do i find that
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: xorg.conf has the info.. but cant see wine writing to that
[20:53] <ericvw> Do I need to use the ubuntu alternative install to set up Ubuntu with RAID?
[20:54] <usr13> piglit: install firestarter
[20:54] <balleyne> bulmer: it's an SMC EZ Connect G..
[20:54] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: well, that didn't work
[20:54] <spideyman> yeah i did that but it gets an error when it tries to write the new one something battery missing?
[20:54] <chester_martins> where can i found information about change debian packages?
[20:54] <usr13> piglit: or you can do it manualy with a couple iptables rules.  your choice.
[20:55] <piglit> usr13 i did
[20:55] <alexbOrsova> barryToeman: when I tried the last option (driver=vga) the screen flashed a few times before going black
[20:55] <bulmer> balleyne-> im not familiar with it, do you have a driver for it? or maybe use ndiswrapper with its windows driver version
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: I am going to try and take a nap...  not sure where to start other than effects...  someone will know, I just dont do much of anything in wine
[20:55] <lwizardl> can someone tell me how i get download the kernel source for 2.6.22-14-rt
[20:55] <usr13> piglit: firestarter will provide option to share the connection.
[20:55] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: other than that, nothing else happened
[20:55] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> thanx anyway
[20:55] <piglit> usr13 i did install firestarter but firestarter tell's me that divice eth1 is not ready
[20:56] <balleyne> bulmer: ok, I'll give that a shot. If Ubuntu has a driver for it, it should work out of the box when I boot with it connected I guess?
[20:56] <spideyman> does anyone know where the config file for my monitor settings gets saved?
[20:56] <kenny> hey guys, i have vista/ubuntu so when i turn on i get a boot loader that asks which one i want to boot..but what do i have to do if i want to boot from a cd?
[20:56] <alexbOrsova> spideyman: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
[20:56] <spideyman> thats it thanx
[20:56] <erUSUL> !fixres | spideyman
[20:56] <ubotu> spideyman: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[20:56] <alexbOrsova> kenny: that's handled by the bios
[20:56] <bulmer> balleyne-> no guarantee to connect at boot, settings must be configured like AP you want to associate with..etc
[20:57] <pike_> kenny: this is specific to your computer basically you need to change the boot order in bios
[20:57] <tijn> once i configured my system that when an event occurs (which normally results in a beep) my screen blinks, now i forget where i did this, anyone knows where?
[20:57] <samuel_> kenny : you have to change the boot order into your bios
[20:57] <balleyne> kenny: it should boot from CD instead of giving you that bootload, you may need to check your boot priority in the bios, otherwise just try booting with the CD in the drive
[20:57] <kenan> i am trying to get simdock to work but it says i need to install libwnck18 but i get an error in termial that says: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? so how do i fix this?
[20:57] <samuel_> tell the bios to start by CDrom first
[20:57] <usr13> piglit: ifconfig
[20:57] <kenny> ok thanks guys
[20:57] <ovid> ubuntu locks up during install, pci error, i;ve run with pci=noacpi and it still locks after hardware config, anyone know a fix?
[20:57] <balleyne> bulmer: ok, thanks, I'll try a few things see what I can do
[20:57] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: are you still here?
[20:58] <usr13> ovid: Check for hardware issue.
[20:58] <syntaxerror> ifireball, there is no way I will ever be able to repay you
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> kenny: Yo can only run one package manager at a time
[20:58] <erUSUL> kenan: do you have synaptic? or the update manager running?
[20:58] <flokuehn> ovid: try downloading same image from other mirror
[20:58] <flokuehn> ovid: i dont have any further hints
[20:58] <ovid> flokuehn: really? i HAVE downloade3d it all form the same mirrror...thanks :D
[20:59] <syntaxerror> ifireball, it works. :3 However, messages were outputted to all my virtual terminals. Quick thinking, e.g. I opened my CD drive and rebooted and typed your command saved me
[20:59] <ifireball> synacktion: I'm glad it worked
[20:59] <flokuehn> ovid: i had the same problem last times. i just downloaded the same image from an other mirror and installation worked.
[20:59] <kenan> ok well i closed everything and i tried to install it via synaptic and this is what i get: libwnck18:
[20:59] <kenan> Package libwnck18 has no available version, but exists in the database.
[20:59] <kenan> This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list, any ideas?
[20:59] <piglit> usr13: i can see a eth1 in ifconfig
[20:59] <flokuehn> ovid: so it might be by you.
[21:00] <piglit> usr13: but i cant see a ip adress when i look at the eth1 the eth0 has got a ip adress though
[21:00] <syntaxerror> Too bad I lost all my XChat scripts and KDE settings. but; my computer works. and I had a 50 page essay on it with no backups
[21:00] <ovid> flokuehn: if i want to dual boot can i install ubuntu first and then windows? or should i do the other way around
[21:00] <usr13> piglit: eth1 is connected to "shuttle", right?
[21:01] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: i'm back now
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kenan: HAve you changed any of your sources.list
[21:01] <erUSUL> ovid: the later
[21:01] <Take0n> guys I have enabled the "show icons on desktop" (ubuntu 7.10 KDE) but there are no "computer" or "trash" icons on the desktop why?!
[21:01] <kenan> Jack_Sparrow: not that i remember
[21:01] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: well, it didn't work;
[21:01] <flokuehn> ovid: no. not as far as i know. you have to install windows first and then ubuntu
[21:01] <ovid> erUSUL: thanks
[21:01] <ovid> :)
[21:01] <mikebeecham> hi there...if I wanted to clean old files from my machine....can I remove anything from /var without hurting linux...I have 16Gb entries in there
[21:01] <ifireball> syntaxerror: all I can say is "never follow other's advice blindly" ;)
[21:01] <piglit> usr13: you are right yes the eth1 is coneccted to the shuttle
[21:01] <usr13> piglit: Did you assign a static IP address to eth1?
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kenan: you might paste your sources.list to the pastebin and provide a link.. if you dont mind
[21:01] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: when I tried the alst option (driver=vga) the screen flickered a few times but then it went to black
[21:02] <usr13> piglit: If not do so now.
[21:02] <syntaxerror> ifireball, heh. do you think he intentionally tried to break my computer?
[21:02] <erUSUL> kenan: are you on feisty?
[21:02] <kenan> erUSUL: gutsy
[21:02] <var> i have a very weird problem with my ralink card, it has 2 interfaces underneath it in my device manager
[21:02] <mikebeecham> all the 16Gb is in the lib folder?
[21:02] <erUSUL> !info libwnck22 | kenan
[21:02] <ubotu> kenan: libwnck22: Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime files. In component main, is optional. Version 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 151 kB, installed size 340 kB
[21:02] <eegore> where do I set user permissiins for wifi-radar
[21:02] <piglit> usr13: eth1 is a zeroconf
[21:02] <ifireball> synacktion: no, but he just wasn't careful enough with his advice
[21:03] <ifireball> syntaxerror: : no, but he just wasn't careful enough with his advice
[21:03] <var> it has WLAN interface and Networking Wireless Control Interface
[21:03] <piglit> usr13: another ip than the ip of the eth0 i ques?
[21:03] <erUSUL> kenan: in gutsy that's the version aviable
[21:03] <usr13> piglit: What is "zeroconf"
[21:03] <usr13> piglit: Yes, it has to be a different network.
[21:03] <syntaxerror> ifireball, okay. c: I'm going to go reconfigure KDE (it autobooted me to GNOME) Thanks! c:
[21:03] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: did you get any new error messages?
[21:04] <usr13> piglit: Is your internet router is <IP_ADDRESS>  ?
[21:04] <kenan> erUSUL: well it turns out that i do have libwnck22 installed but i am still unable to install simdock
[21:04] <semiAnon> hi all, i'm trying to reinstall windows xp to my HP compaq TC4200 laptop and I'm having problems. The recovery dvd from HP can't reinstall windows OS. i did a "fixmbr" command and it still doesn't work. help.
[21:04] <usr13> piglit: or....?
[21:04] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: actually, yes: something about bcm48xxx_module.o not being there
[21:04] <var> anyone know how to get ralink working on 7.10?
[21:04] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: i think it's my broadcom wlan card
[21:04] <piglit> usr13: oke i make it a static what must the gateway be? the router is <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:04] <erUSUL> kenan: maybe the simdock package you are trying to install is not meant for gutsy... it is a deb?
[21:04] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: what does that have to do with xserver though?
[21:05] <kenan> erUSUL: yes its a deb
[21:05] <casdi1> semiAnon:  same problem here, that's why i'm only using ubuntu
[21:05] <casdi1> :P
[21:05] <var> if someone can help me get my ralink driver working
[21:05] <erUSUL> kenan: and it is for ubuntu gutsy?
[21:05] <var> ill kiss them in real life
[21:05] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: WAIT A SECOND< IT JUST SHOWED UP!!
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> yea
[21:05] <piglit> usr13: the shuttle pc doesnt like the router so that's why i want to connect the shuttle to the xp2600 pc and get internet on the shuttle that way
[21:06] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: what did you do for it to show up?
[21:06] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: there's a dialog that says "Ubuntu is running in low-graphcis mode"
[21:06] <erUSUL> var: in gutsy? they worked for me out of the box... i have a ralink 2500 pci
[21:06] <usr13> piglit: eth1 needs to not only be a different IP address, but also a different network.  For instance:  <IP_ADDRESS>  NETMASK <IP_ADDRESS> (Given the fact that eth0 is 192.168.1.x NETMASK <IP_ADDRESS>)
[21:06] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I added the line
[21:06] <var> erUSUL: ah i bet its my WPA support
[21:06] <var> that's what my problem is :\
[21:06] <var> sorry i wasnt clear on that
[21:06] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: 3) Add the following line to your existing "Screen" section:   Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false"
[21:06] <var> it will work with WEP, but I need WPA/WPA2
[21:06] <erUSUL> var: i use wpa too. network manager worked wonderfully
[21:07] <var> erUSUL: oh, how do i install network manager erUSUL
[21:07] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: from the Ubuntu wiki documentation on nvidia vards
[21:07] <mikebeecham> can anyone tell me where the trash is in nautyilus?
[21:07] <kenan> erUSUL: im not sure it doesnt say
[21:07] <erUSUL> var: in gutsy is installed by default
[21:07] <semiAnon> casdi1: i'm trying to get my wireless card to work, and there's a utility in windows that can do that
[21:07] <usr13> piglit: So, set eth1 to static IP  <IP_ADDRESS>  and tell firestarter to share the connection with eth1.
[21:07] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: the dialog says "your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly."
[21:07] <var> erUSUL: are you sure?
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: there are more than one..
[21:07] <var> maybe im on feisty?
[21:07] <mikebeecham> hey Jack_Sparrow
[21:08] <semiAnon> casdi1: i'm trying to move to linux, after my wlan works in ubuntu
[21:08] <flokuehn> byebye
[21:08] <mikebeecham> I have deleted 16Gb of files whilst in sudo nautilus...but they are not in the deleted items icon
[21:08] <erutherford> I am having issues with 7.10 finding my hard drive
[21:08] <piglit> usr13: what abouth the gateway of eth1 eth0 is <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:08] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: do you think while the screen was black that Ubuntu was already loading and your screen was setup incorrectly?  that's why I asked earlier if you could hear the login drum sound.
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: First off... dont sudo nautilus..
[21:08] <casdio> semiAnon:  i can't help in that, i'm a noob... sorry
[21:08] <erUSUL> var: yes it is the icon (2 computers) showing in the up right corner..
[21:08] <erutherford> can anyone point me in the right direction
[21:08] <semiAnon> casdio, ok thanks anyway. :)
[21:08] <erutherford> I have already been searching on google
[21:08] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I clicked the "Configure" button and the "Screens and Graphics" menu came up; I don't know what was going on, though
[21:08] <usr13> piglit: No need to worry about a gateway for eth1
[21:09] <Alkaiser> fdsaf
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: gksudo nautilus     and look in /root/.Trash
[21:09] <casdio> btw, i can't see accents (it's right?) here in irc... can you help me?
[21:09] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: and you can't use the sound to tell anything because Ubuntu doesn't recognise my sound card
[21:09] <RichW> I want to tunnel my vnc to my server over ssh... I am trying something like ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900<EMAIL_ADDRESS>but it says bind: Address already in use  channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 5900  Could not request local forwarding.
[21:09] <erUSUL> var: when there is a wirelless connection it shows the signal strenght
[21:09] <usr13> piglit: Only the clients need to have a default gateway.
[21:09] <RichW> Anyone got any ideas?
[21:09] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: it's asking me to select a driver, vesa is selected right now. Should I change that?
[21:09] <var> erUSUL: ah thanks
[21:10] <var> :)
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: I just took some cold medicine so I will be drifting off soon.. I hope
[21:10] <usr13> piglit: So set "shuttle" to <IP_ADDRESS> with default gateway of <IP_ADDRESS>  and add nameserver to resolv.conf
[21:10] <FluxD> Hi, I currently have a dynamic ip. I signed with one of those free dynamic DNS sites and got a subdomain pointing to a link. HOw can I make it show this domain in irc instead of the ip address?
[21:10] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: what video card do you have? "lspci | grep VGA"
[21:10] <rocme> hi
[21:10] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: nvidia GeForce 6150 Go
[21:10] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: I am desperately trying to get back my 'application' section of the menu..and I think it is all tied into not having any free space for somer eason
[21:10] <mikebeecham> but I hope you feel better soon
[21:11]  * tijn is away: afk..
[21:11] <usr13> piglit: So, for client, "shuttle":  sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> ; sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: Are you running live cd to fix this then
[21:11] <rocme> i have a problem with my wlan...
[21:11] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: nope...I am using the "learn as you go method"
[21:11] <mikebeecham> ;)
[21:11] <UNDERsoN> i'm changing mac adress by if eth1 <ip> hw ether <mac_adress> up every time when I boot up. How make this mac adress static for my eth1
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: I made notes on what to do after I ran out of space...
[21:11] <usr13> piglit: And then edit /etc/resolve.conf and add line: nameserver xxx.xx.xx.x
[21:12] <rocme> i tried to use knetworkmanager, but i hate this program - i want to use a simple console program
[21:12] <usr13> piglit: And then edit /etc/resolve.conf and add line: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: You should find a second /.Trash with the files you deleted as root
[21:12] <rocme> because the wlan is encrypted with wpa, i use the wpa_suppplicant
[21:12] <usr13> piglit: That's for "shuttle"
[21:12] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I hit the Test button with the nvideo driver and the screen went blank again so I think it's the driver
[21:12] <rocme> wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw
[21:12] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: do youi know anything about missing 'applications' sections?
[21:12] <Speckal> hi all
[21:13] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: which is weird because xserver works when starting from cli
[21:13] <erUSUL> var: if nm doesn't work for you you can try a more manual approach go to System>Admin>Net disable roaming mode for the wireless card and configure it
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: No, that didnt happen when I ran out of room
[21:13] <rocme> but the wpa_cli does not connect with the wlan
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: Do you have a spare partition on that box
[21:13] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: maybe it is a seperate issue
[21:13] <Speckal> I'm a debian user but I'm thinking of trying ubuntu. I understand that ubuntu is based on debian ??
[21:13] <rocme> i can select the wlan manually with the client, but there is no connection :(
[21:13] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: this is a secondary partition i am on...WinXP is on the first
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Speckal: yes it is...
[21:14] <piglit> usr13: oke thanks i'll give it a try, thank you verry much
[21:14] <kenan> i am trying to install simdock.deb but it says i dont have permission, how do i give myself permission to open it if i saved it to the desktop?
[21:14] <rocme> has so an idea what is wrong?
[21:14] <chazco> Anyone know how i can backup a FAT32 partition to a FAT32 USB drive? rsync doesnt work (doesnt appear to detect any changes)
[21:14] <usr13> piglit: In other words, shuttle needs to be set to static IP and have default gw set to <IP_ADDRESS> and be provided with nameserver(s) - e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>  (your router, which more than likely has a caching nameserver running on it.)
[21:14] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: oh, and I cant quit linux, as everything disappears from my desktop but nothing shuts down
[21:14] <mikebeecham> just to add to the spice of it all
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: did you find the trash yet
[21:14] <Speckal> what are the biggest differences between ubuntu and debian?
[21:14] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: yes thanks...I have deleted all those files
[21:14] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: did you go through this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia

[21:14] <erUSUL> !debian
[21:14] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[21:15] <usr13> piglit: Anyway, that should be enough info to get you going.

[21:21] <talcite> hey guys, do the MOTU guys release patches at a specific time of day?
[21:21] <FluxD> Jack_Sparrow: haha not that
[21:21] <talcite> or is it just whenever?
[21:21] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: I'm sorry, what was your question?
[21:21] <Speckal> are ubuntu packages kept pretty up-to-date?  (more so than debian?)
[21:21] <PriceChild> talcite, released when released.
[21:21] <FluxD> Jack_Sparrow: I thought u could do it in network settings

[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> FluxD: You do see my point though.. prehaps rephrasing the question.
[21:22] <UNDERsoN> ovid Don't undrestand. I find in google hwaddress ether <mynewmac> for /etc/network/interfaces is it correct?
[21:22] <Speckal> Chitinid:  meaning debian packages are generally more up-to-date?
[21:22] <Chitinid> Speckal: Yep
[21:22] <erUSUL> UNDERsoN: add a 'pre-up ifconfig <iface> hw <newMAC>' line to the affected iface stanza

[21:22] <UNDERsoN> ovid thanks
[21:22] <Speckal> Chitinid:  that's bad
[21:22] <PriceChild> Speckal, ubuntu only releases updates for critical bug fixes and security updates
[21:22] <FluxD> Jack_Sparrow: I thought u could make it work like a bnc sorry stupid question nvm
[21:22] <Chitinid> Speckal: Well, Ubuntu releases every 6 months; it's somewhat like Debian stable
[21:23] <Chitinid> Speckal: Except not nearly as stale; you can enable backports, and you get a bit more new stuff

[21:24] <iNeedHelp2> usr13: no, i need a utility from HP that's windows only to enable my wireless card
[21:24] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: You probably only need to tell the grub boot loader to boot your MS Windows partition.
[21:25] <iNeedHelp2> usr13: i've been searching the web via google trying to get my hardware on/off switch for wireless to work
[21:25] <Speckal> soulrider, Chitinid: I spent years in distros with bad or no pkg mgmt system.  (lfs / slack)  I suppose a little tradeoff wouldn't kill me :)
[21:25] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: What wireless card do you have?
[21:25] <soulrider> Speckal, i thought slack had pkg management
[21:26] <iNeedHelp2> usr13: right now, if i do iwconfig, it tells me "radio off" and i can't enable it. i belive its broadcom or intel. a guy with same hardware was able to get wlan to work fine (http://tc4200.chan.geekcamp.org/)
[21:26] <soulrider> it must be a pain to update then
[21:26] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: the "on/off" switch for wireless card is just to load or unload the driver / enable or dissable the device.
[21:26] <Speckal> soulrider:  it does.  imho, it falls under the 'bad' category
[21:27] <Speckal> Speckal:  bsd's pkg mgmt is much better than slacks
[21:27] <Chitinid> Ubuntu definitely has package management, and it keeps up with security/bugfix updates. It does releases every 6 months for usability/stability. There's actually no reason to upgrade all of your packages to the bleeding edge

[21:35] <spideyman> erutherford you probably have to mount it again
[21:35] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: go for it.  i should have suggested it earlier, but you were on the right track with the dpkg-reconfigure

[21:38] <erutherford> blah32: If i try to repair the install it is saying that it now doesn't detect the drive
[21:38] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman:for some reason it helps to restart a few times
[21:39] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately, I have to quit irc now so I can use the ethernet cable to downlaod the driver and updates. Thanks a lot Barry :)
[21:39] <jose__> does anyone havy any idea why this does not change the title for my terminal window.  I want to run top and have th erminal window say top.  There is my shell script:

[21:43] <erUSUL> rbanffy: well in Xorg the middle mouse button pastes the clipboard under the cursor position... maybe somehow gnome-terminal is confusing shift-7 for a middle mouse click?
[21:43] <cwill747> anybody good with tightVNC and putty? I'm trying to access my ubuntu computer through putty, which i can do, but the vnc viewer says "connection closed". help?
[21:44] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Is there any way I can tell gnome-terminal not to confuse shift-7 with a middle-click? This is incredibly annoying.
[21:44] <iNeedHelp2> a second question, i've seen this happen a couple of times. when the windows title bar and frame border suddenly dissapears, how do i reenable it without having to restart the comp?
[21:45] <bla52> erutherford if you see the drive after typing df -h check if it is listed in /etc/fstab

[21:50] <Smegzor> i wondered if that might be it.  thanks.
[21:50] <kahrytan> Smegzor➲  if you use WInehq repo, then you get wine-0.9.51
[21:50] <cafuego> Smegzor: Because software versions don't increase on stable Ubuntu releases.
[21:50] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Already did the reset to defaults

[21:54] <Smegzor> speaking of repos, should I enable proposed updates or will I ruin my buntu by playing in there?
[21:54] <ovid> vocx: was pci ide bus master what i was supposed to turn off? because it had the same effect
[21:54] <juano__> casdio: mplayer is available at the repos
[21:54] <juano__> casdio: you should be downloading from synaptic
[21:54] <jose__> try changing the local port from 5900 to say 5999 (I had the problem once where localhost was trying to connect to myown local vnc and not the remote one) and then do vncviewer::5999
[21:54] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Nah. It stays the same
[21:54] <databits> bulmer - you still there ?
[21:54] <casdio> but i want the plugin
[21:54] <casdio> to firefox
[21:55] <juano__> casdio: it is also available
[21:55] <bulmer> databits-> yeah, go and load your driver first
[21:55] <rbanffy> erUSUL: I am considering simply deleting the config files for gnome terminal and let it rebuild them in a sane way
[21:55] <cwill747> jose__: alright lemme try that
[21:55] <alexbobp> What do I do to give my account direct access to usb devices?
[21:55] <ovid> vocx: it locks up in the same spot, 4 and a bit bars left on the install load :(
[21:55] <casdio> i'll try juano, thanks
[21:55] <cwill747> quit
[21:55] <juano__> casdio: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[21:56] <vocx> ovid, then it maybe a video problem?  Have you tried the alternate install CD? What graphics or motherboard do you have?
[21:56] <rbanffy> erUSUL: If I could find the file under .gnome2...
[21:57] <ovid> vocx: inteld865perl and radeon 9800 pro...alternate as in the text based one? ive tried 7.1, 6.x and the text based installer
[21:57] <erUSUL> rbanffy: i'm out of ideas sorry
[21:58] <databits> bulmer - I think I have the drivers installed
[21:58] <vocx> ovid, yes, text based. So you are saying you've tried them and they don't work?
[21:58] <bulmer> databits-> what is the status when you do  iwconfig  ?
[21:58] <rbanffy> erUSUL: OK. Can't blame you. I ran out of them a while ago.
[21:58] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Do you know where gnome-terminal stores its configuration files?
[21:59] <ovid> vocx: yea, i get the same pci error cannot allocate resouce 0 to 000:000:000 text based install stops right after hardware config says [ok]
[21:59] <databits> my wireless card works
[21:59] <vocx> ovid, wow! does the motherboard work at all, with another operating system?
[21:59] <erUSUL> rbanffy: no; sorry
[21:59] <scragar> in pidgin how do I set autoreconnect to chat's when disconected? in GAIM there was an option for it, can't find it in pidgin
[22:00] <databits> bulmer - I'm just trying ot make sure that my driver supports promiscuous mode
[22:00] <passbe> i believe i have a port conflict, how can i determine which programs are accessing a certain port ?
[22:00] <ovid> vocx: yea i have windows running on it...i wanted to dual boot
[22:00] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Thanks anyway. At least you proved me the problem is not trivial ;-)
[22:01] <cafuego> passbe: netstat -nap | grep :port
[22:01] <jonah> hey i've got a really weird thing going on with gutsy. i have a second drive mounted and when i drag my home folder across to it it copies and complete and i think great i'm backed up, then i have a look in the backup folder and only half stuff there if that
[22:01] <ovid> vocx: was pci ide bus the correct item to turn off? there wasnt an option to turn off acpi in bios, just change states (1 or 3)
[22:01] <kahrytan> jonah➲  what's missing?
[22:02] <juano__> scragar: nice question, im interested in this one too
[22:02] <jonah> kahrytan, just a load of file, documents, folders, half my stuff
[22:02] <ovid> vocx: i mispoke earlier...its not installing, thats justafter i hit start or install ubuntu, if that makes a difference
[22:02] <casdio> juano__:  mplayer plugin it's not working
[22:02] <casdio> :S
[22:02] <juano__> casdio: restarted firefox ?
[22:02] <casdio> yes
[22:03] <vocx> ovid, about "pci ide bus" I cannot be sure since every BIOS calls things with different names. But my suggestion would be to turn everything off, serial ports, usb ports and everything else you have but the video.
[22:03] <ovid> vocx: ty, ill go see what else i can turn off
[22:03] <miltiadis21> does anyone knows speed reading from here?
[22:03] <juano__> casdio: restart firefox, then go to  about:plugins   in the url bar in firefox and check at the bottom if mplayer-plugin appears
[22:04] <casdio> no
[22:04] <juano__> casdio: about: plugins without the space (smiley appeared)
[22:04] <scragar> juano__: actualy, just checking on my other computer show's that it was a plugin, I'm gonna see if I can find a version of it for pidgin.
[22:05] <juano__> scragar: great
[22:05] <casdio> juano__:  yes, it appers
[22:05] <casdio> *appears

[22:08] <alinux787878> hi all I have one little problem on ubuntu with beryl ..when I move the window and release it there is a blured border around the window..I want to disable that..how can I do that ?
[22:08] <casdio> juano__:  is it because i have totem activated too?
[22:08] <juano__> scragar: hmmm interesting.. why would they take away that ?
[22:08] <Flare183> beryl is dead

[22:12] <var> it doesn't look inside any of my subdirectories
[22:12] <var> when i add a folder
[22:12] <balleyne> Aaron: what are you trying to install? can you just download it from the repositories using your package manager?
[22:12] <Linuxchix0r> cd = change directory
[22:12] <vocx> Aaron, it would help if you told us which guide you are following.
[22:12] <Aaron> i dont know how to do anything heh

[22:13] <Aaron> ahhh lol
[22:13] <casdio> juano__:  does it works?
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> AaronAre you using gutsy or feisty?
[22:14] <gcarrillo> anybody know how to reconstruct a fat32 partition table?
[22:14] <balleyne> Aaron: are you in Ubuntu?
[22:14] <chazco> Hi... whats the best way to move Ubuntu to another HDD (a much, much bigger HDD)...?
[22:14] <Aaron> gusty
[22:14] <juano__> casdio: mm nope, im uninstalling totem to see if it works now
[22:14] <ellonis> hi to the room
[22:14] <balleyne> chazco: I managed to copy my partitions over using the 'dd' command
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: then pidgin is the latest version of gaim
[22:14] <ompaul> gcarrillo, there is dosfsck /dev/whatever
[22:14] <casdio> how do you uninstall it?
[22:14] <Aaron> im trying to install gaim xfire
[22:14] <ompaul> gcarrillo, as long as it is not mounted
[22:14] <chazco> Partitions would need resizing... not the best plan. I'm hoping i can use both HDD's at once
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: and it is already installed
[22:14] <gcarrillo> ompaul: thanks, i'll check that out
[22:14] <ellonis> one simple question: what is the shutdown command for ktimer??
[22:15] <wers> where do I get rhythmbox's lyrics plugin? :)
[22:15] <gcarrillo> ompaul: yup, i can't mount it because the table's hosed
[22:15] <balleyne> chazco: for example, dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 depending on your devices CHECK FIRST!!! Otherwise you might destroy data, use 'man dd' to learn more
[22:15] <Aaron> gaim xfire isnt in the list on pig
[22:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: As a new linux user, it is best to stay in to repos that have been tested before venturing out on your own
[22:15] <Aaron> pid*
[22:15] <chazco> balleyne - I've used dd quite a bit, but it means i'd need to resize partitions, which can takes _ages_
[22:15] <juano__> casdio: uninstall totem-mozilla
[22:15] <balleyne> chazco: I ran dd to clone my old hard drive onto a new one, then I used gparted to resize
[22:15] <Linuxchix0r> there are two copies of the fat on the disc
[22:15] <Kayma> et
[22:15] <casdio> thanks juano__
[22:15] <juano__> casdio: only the mozilla plugin of totem
[22:16] <chazco> Hmm... i've tried gparted before... something about this PC makes it run unbearably slow
[22:16] <Highlife> Hey guys what command can I use to see my system processes?
[22:16] <tom__> i'm having a little trouble setting up dvb tv
[22:16] <balleyne> chazco: hmmm, that's frustrating... I dunno, other options might be partimage, though I found that to take longer and be more confusing
[22:16] <chazco> balleyne - Upscaling 10GB partitions to at leat 100GB will probably take it a few days
[22:16] <scragar> chazco: it's normaly slow, it has to scan all hd's and such and evaluate partitions, free space etc.
[22:16] <Linuxchix0r> high-freq,  top or ps-aux
[22:16] <jose__> cwill747: did you get vnc working?
[22:16] <chazco> Hmm... ok... was wondering if some sort of recursive copy command and reinstall bootloader
[22:17] <tom__> i get audio in kaffeine but not video
[22:17] <casdio> juano__:  where do i type that?
[22:17] <scragar> chazco: "cp -r" is recursive copy
[22:17] <ellonis> ....
[22:17] <chazco> scragar - I gave up last time, it took something like 24 hours to reszie a partition
[22:17] <Aaron> i thought gusty came with a 3d desktop?
[22:17] <balleyne> chazco: that could probably work too, just cp -r and then you may have to reinstall GRUB (check out SuperGrub, it worked wonders for me)
[22:17] <Highlife> Yo how can I veiw my system processes in the terminal?
[22:17] <chazco> balleyne - Sounds promising, was hoping it would work :)
[22:17] <Linuxchix0r> highlife ps
[22:18] <tom__> you need to manually enable 3d desktop
[22:18] <juano__> casdio: System ----> Administration ----> synaptic package manager ---> search  type totem , search for totem mozilla plugin and mark for complete removal
[22:18] <var> can i install beryl on top of whatever window manager i currently have?
[22:18] <var> is it a pain in the ass?
[22:18] <scragar> Highlife: "top" or "ps" or "ps -A"
[22:18] <crdlb> Aaron: only with supported video cards
[22:18] <Aaron> tom how do i do that

[22:21] <vocx> dho_ragus, I'm pleased to announce that there is a subforum about virtualization in ubuntuforums.org You should see if you can find further info there.

[22:23] <Aaron> i typed sudo and just got info
[22:24] <vocx> ovid, oh, destroying Windows always works. Just install grub in the mbr. But first unplug the drive and check the cables and connectors, then the BIOS should autodetect it so you can start your installation like it were a new drive.
[22:24] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: configuration manager? what is that?
[22:24] <peepsalot> Aaron, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[22:24] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, ? uhm - the main configuration manager
[22:24] <fxfitz> crdlb, Thank you! I'll check it out. Is it hard to set up?
[22:24] <Aaron> there it goes ty
[22:24] <balleyne> peepslot: a bit of both - look in Edit->Preferences, Content tab, Mange button under File Types - there appears to be an entry there for flash - not sure if that's where you change it though, never tried it, just a guess
[22:24] <Aaron> ugh still not used to right clicking to copy and paste
[22:24] <crdlb> fxfitz: nope :)
[22:24] <ovid> vocx: is there any way to install windows after i do that?
[22:24] <fxfitz> crdlb, Awesome. Thanks!
[22:24] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: main configuration manager?.. I still don't know what your talking about.. configuration of what? gnome? samba? firefox?
[22:25] <crdlb> fxfitz: I set it up a long time ago, but iirc it was quite simple
[22:25] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, Basically I'm trying to get multiple monitors set up(using twin view from the sound of it) on my 7900GS(nvidia card), however the screen and graphics window seems to think I have 2 Syncmaster 205BW s when I have 1 of them and a Dell M782p when I change it and restart X it just resets the settings, plus it doesn't even display the correct resolution options, and I think...
[22:25] <bfrog> does install on software raid take significantly longer because of the syncing stuff ?
[22:25] <Alex_Gaynor> ...one monitor might be disabled in there, but I honestly have no clue if that even affects anything at this point
[22:25] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, system configuration
[22:25] <tyczek> hi... is smplayer have it's own icon or I not?
[22:25] <CaptainMorgan> am I in the ubuntu channel??
[22:25] <CaptainMorgan> :)
[22:25] <bfrog> cause like... my install seems hung up
[22:25] <Aaron> how do i get java plugins for mozilla ? i tried to find a tutorial for that but couldnt
[22:26] <casdio> juano__:  another thing... can you see youtube videos correctly?
[22:26] <juano__> casdio: yes
[22:26] <vocx> ovid, sure. You need to get your hard drive working first. Then you allocate enough space for each Operating system. This will save you the trouble to repartition later. But install Windows First in the first partition and Ubuntu later in the other partitions.
[22:26] <juano__> casdio: install flash
[22:26] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: yes.. you're in the ubuntu channel.. you mean like a place where you can change settings etc for ubuntu? I don't think there is one simple place to do that.. well.. on xubuntu there is.. but that's another distro
[22:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: I dont use dual monitors.. you are not trying to get different res's on each one are you?
[22:26] <balleyne> Aaron: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[22:26] <casdio> juano__:  i can see it, but i can't see the buttons
[22:27] <casdio> like forward
[22:27] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, I used it the other night on a different system, I ran it through the command line.. something similar to ntconfig
[22:27] <casdio> and i can't search forward inthe video
[22:27] <casdio> :S
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> casdio:  see the topic before trying to install flash
[22:27] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I am one should be running 1680*1050(samsung) and the dell should be at 1280*1024 my understanding was that twin view should be able to do this
[22:27] <juano__> casdio: you mean play/stop etc ?
[22:27] <crdlb> fxfitz: it appears to be as simple as putting 'Port 631' in /etc/cups.d/ports.conf
[22:27] <casdio> yes juano__
[22:27] <balleyne> Aaron: into the terminal? there are keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+Shift+C or Ctrl+Shift+V - if that's what you're talking about with right-clicking..
[22:27] <Aaron> how do i install java plugins for mozilla?
[22:27] <ovid> vocx: yea i already did all that, i have windows running on half the drive now already...ima try to install grub
[22:27] <crdlb> fxfitz: on the computer with the printer
[22:27] <balleyne> Aaron: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[22:27] <mirak> does anyone knows how to use gnome-user-share ?
[22:27] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: and what could you change in this application? what did it look like? terminal or gui?
[22:27] <juano__> casdio: where did you install flash from ?
[22:27] <ovid> vocx: yea i already did all that, i have windows running on half the drive now already...can i install grub before anything? maybe that'll fix it
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: someone else may know, but I was not aware that you could do that.. not that I have tried
[22:28] <juano__> casdio: did you let mozilla install it for you ?
[22:28] <casdio> mozilla itself
[22:28] <balleyne> Aaron: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Browser_Plug-ins
[22:28] <casdio> yes
[22:28] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: Hopefully you can, I was doing it under windows :P
[22:28] <Aaron> mmm wiki lol
[22:28] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, gui, to change the desktop features like "display home folder on desktop" etc
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: This aint windows
[22:28] <CaptainMorgan> to name only one
[22:28] <casdio> juano__:  yes, i did...
[22:28] <juano__> casdio: weird... , did you install java too ?
[22:28] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: No it ain't, and I like everything better except setting up X
[22:28] <casdio> jre?
[22:29] <casdio> juano__:  jre?
[22:29] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: gnome-control-center?
[22:29] <vocx> ovid, I thought you said you wiped the drive... Okay, I get you know.  Yes I guess you can install grub first. But now that I think about it, maybe the Ubuntu installer is doing strange things with your hardware, so I would suggest trying another Live CD like Knoppix to repartition.
[22:29] <Aaron> are there places i can get instrustions on how to install WoW and Steam and such with wine?
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: Once you get it set you will love it.. but yes, requires more work but allows more flexibility that MS
[22:29] <juano__> casdio: install sun-java6-plugin
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: #winehq
[22:30] <juano__> casdio: install that
[22:30] <balleyne> Aaron: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[22:30] <casdio> ok juano__
[22:30] <Highlife> yo does anyone know how I could get xgl to stop eating 96 percent of my resources?
[22:30] <CaptainMorgan> that's not it
[22:30] <CaptainMorgan> Slart,
[22:30] <balleyne> Highlife: did you see the link I sent you earlier?
[22:30] <juano__> casdio: and sun-java6-bin
[22:30] <Alex_Gaynor> Can anyone here help me with a mutliple monitors issue on an nvidia card?
[22:30] <Highlife> balleyne: no srry I had to step away for a moment
[22:30] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: gconf  then?
[22:30] <balleyne> Highlife: http://blaise.ca/blog/2007/10/24/gutsy-upgrade-xgl-problems/
[22:30] <Highlife> thx
[22:31] <ricanelite> what is the issue? Out of no where my PS/2 Keyboard just stopped working
[22:31] <balleyne> Highlife: I had to disable it myself (Compiz still works)
[22:31] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: or.. gconf-editor
[22:31] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, gconf what? I'm getting bad command
[22:31] <juano__> casdio: actually its sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin what you need
[22:31] <ricanelite> What can be the issue? Everytime I boot into Ubuntu I get a option where it says if I want to use the Gnome Settings or X Setting it comes up everytime
[22:31] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, that's the one thanks! ... why isn't this one easily navigated to using the system pref or admin menu?
[22:32] <ricanelite> Also if I was to install a new Keyboard how will I go about doing it because I just purchase a new USB KB
[22:32] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: not many people change those settings... and you can do a lot of damage I suppose.
[22:32] <Yutlin> Anyone have an idea why a smb mount I added to my fstab doesn't seem to mount at boot but will mount fine with a "sudo mount -a" ??
[22:32] <casdio> juano__:  that i have
[22:32] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: and that program changes settings for gnome only.. the system configuration stuff are text files in /etc
[22:32] <ovid> vocx: i can run knoppix and have it partition and then not install knoppix? because i want ubuntu :D
[22:33] <juano__> casdio: ok, then you have java
[22:33] <juano__> casdio: did you read the topic on flash ? the installation is broken temporarily
[22:33] <juano__> casdio: it can be something to do with that
[22:34] <vocx> ovid, of course. Knoppix is just a Live CD, with optional persistent mode. I like using Knoppix as a partitioning tool.
[22:34] <Highlife> balleyne: I don't have an xserver-xgl folder there??
[22:34] <hammer> re
[22:34] <hammer> re
[22:34] <casdio> juano__:  no... where?
[22:35] <xDCDx> my Network Manager icon (the one next to the clock) disappeared for no reason. I tried reinstalling network manager apple to no avail. I also tried adding it with 'Add to Panel' -> Network Monitor, but that one doesn't have wireless functionality. What can I do?
[22:35] <hammer> hello
[22:35] <juano__> casdio: type /topic
[22:35] <balleyne> Highlife: that's ok, I believe you can just create it if it doesn't already exist (mkdir, if the touch command doesn't create it itself)
[22:35] <hammer> what this
[22:35] <ovid> vocx: cool, im downloading it now
[22:35] <ovid> vocx: so i should just have it make the linunx partitions while i currently have windows installed? or start over again
[22:35] <anathematic> where should i look for installing secure http on my ubuntu web server?
[22:36] <balleyne> anathematic: the openssl package? just a guess
[22:36] <vocx> ovid, you could try making the partitions first. If that doesn't work then start over again. It's your choice.
[22:36] <balleyne> !openssl
[22:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openssl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:37] <balleyne> !ssl
[22:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ssl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:37] <anathematic> balleyne: yeah i remember doing it a while ago but i've got no idea now
[22:37] <casdio> juano__:  so i have to wiat?
[22:37] <casdio> *wait
[22:37] <Highlife> balleyne: I'm assumeing i need to restart for these settings to take effect?
[22:37] <ovid> vocx: cool, thanks again man, i just HAVE to stop using windows
[22:37] <anathematic> balleyne: i found it http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4466.html lol
[22:37] <anathematic> ty anyway
[22:37] <juano__> casdio: well, i would... , cause if its broken its not a good idea to try to install it and use it cause there is a good chance something will go wrong... but you can try though to reinstall it
[22:38] <balleyne> Highlife: I assume restarting X should work (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace - it'll restart IMMEDIATELY though)
[22:38] <casdio> juano__:  i'll wait... thanks for all the help ;)
[22:38] <juano__> casdio: no problem... anytime
[22:38] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: When I try to run sudo nvidia-settings it just tells me that nvidia x isn't running, even though xorg.conf lists the driver as nvidia
[22:38] <vocx> ovid, no problem. Don't rush things. Virtual Machines help a lot in the transition. Expect with 3D games of course.

[22:41] <vocx> MartianLobster, refine your search like "apt-cache search R statistics" you can use various words after "search".  Also try synaptic for more descriptions.
[22:41] <soulrider> does anyone know of any programs i can use to play music at a specified time? iom planning it to use it as an alarm clock to wake up
[22:41] <soulrider> cron is not an option though :P

[22:42] <kelsin> soulrider: why is cron not an option?
[22:42] <soulrider> kelsin, i want something really really simple

[22:42] <ricanelite> why does my kb lock up at random times, either when typing here on IRC, browsing the web or sitting on the desktop
[22:42] <vocx> soulrider, I think it is. I remember a thread in Programming Talk in ubuntuforums.org about this. The script is there somewhere.
[22:42] <Highlife> balleyne: Thx bud, worked like a charm
[22:42] <soulrider> i see
[22:42] <Aaron> i installed java but its really jittery on a webpage and still says i need to install plugins
[22:42] <soulrider> i was planning on making an alarm clock myself, but i havnt had time
[22:43] <soulrider> im gonna do one next week
[22:43] <var> can i use amarok in gnome?

[22:44] <var> when i go to synaptic it tells me it wants to install all these kde libs and such
[22:44] <var> i just want amarok for gnome
[22:44] <Slart> var: let it
[22:44] <var> ah ok
[22:44] <amitprakash> Odd-rationale, aww... any workaround?
[22:44] <vocx> var, you can use any KDE application in Gnome if you install the necessary libraries otherwise you cannot
[22:44] <Odd-rationale> amitprakash: yup!
[22:44] <Slart> var: amarok doesn't exist for gnome.. it's a KDE application
[22:44] <Flare183> var:> look
[22:44] <amitprakash> Odd-rationale, what :D
[22:44] <Flare183> !info amarok | var
[22:44] <ubotu> var: amarok: versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.4.7-0ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 9618 kB, installed size 31020 kB
[22:44] <Slart> var: but you can install those libs and it will play nice with gnome too
[22:44] <var> awesome
[22:44] <var> :)
[22:44] <Flare183> exactly
[22:45] <var> <3 amarok
[22:45] <Slart> oh.. it has it's ugly sides too.. but it's ok =)
[22:46] <Odd-rationale> amitprakash: The workaround is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin, which I'll get you in a moment...

[22:47] <MartianLobster> vocx  I got it with apt-cache search statistics  | egrep R
[22:47] <Matt> Hey all, I just installed ubuntu and now ehn ever i login i get an error msg which is bmc43xx error or some close
[22:47] <wy> When I tried to make a printer default by using localhost:631, I got error : ou don't have permission to access the resource on this server.
[22:47] <scragar> just wondering, is there any wait or such command in bash? I'm trying to get a terminal opened though double clicking a program to stay open, but it's not working(only needs to stay open long enough for me to see if it worked or failed)
[22:48] <Matt> sry for the spelling
[22:48] <Flare183> Matt:> wireless?
[22:48] <kelsin> scragar: can you not run this program in a terminal to begin with?
[22:48] <brophat> ubuntu 7.10 does not give me the option of resolution higher than 800x600 any ideas?
[22:48] <Slart> scragar: try sleep NBR
[22:48] <Matt> yea
[22:48] <Smegzor> I want to edit the Gnome menu and add a new category for all the apps I use all the time.  Where do I edit the menu or what program do i need?
[22:48] <kelsin> scragar: and bash does have wait which waits for a certain process to finish, or sleep that takes a number of seconds to pause
[22:48] <vocx> MartianLobster, ha, supposedly "apt-cache search" already does regexp so the need of egrep is not necessary, but glad you found it. In the programming talk of ubuntuforums.org there are a couple of guys that know things about R, and they usually suggest Python bindings, RPy.
[22:48] <Flare183> Matt:> ok you need the firmware and fwcutter then
[22:48] <scragar> kelsin: I could, but it's going on my brothers comp, and he would flip out if he had to touch the command line lol.
[22:49] <Matt> how do i install if i cant login
[22:49] <kelsin> Smegzor: system -> prefs -> main menu
[22:49] <Smegzor> thanks
[22:49] <amitprakash> Odd-rationale, done ;D
[22:50] <Flare183> Matt:> dunno
[22:50] <Odd-rationale> amitprakash: Hold on, I can't find the link, I thought I bookmarked it...
[22:50] <MartianLobster> vocx I should check out the ubuntuforums I guess.  I am new to ubuntu.  Today is the first day that I have an ubuntu machine, and have the wifi working, and am getting ready to make it my main machine
[22:50] <Flare183> Rescue mode maybe
[22:50] <Matt> do you know anybody that does:P
[22:50] <scragar> Slart: that works fine, thank you.
[22:50] <amitprakash> :D
[22:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Smegzor: Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop
[22:50] <Aaron> how can i find ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[22:50] <Matt> how does rescue mode work
[22:51] <vocx> MartianLobster, congratulations. Regarding ubuntuforums, search before you post. Everything has been answered before. Welcome.
[22:51] <scragar> Aaron: ~/ is your home directory, .wine is hidden, but you can show them by pressing ctr+H
[22:51] <Flare183> Matt:> it give you the root permissions without having to login but you must be careful
[22:51] <Smegzor> hmm..  I added a new menu and exited the program, but my new menu doesn't appear anywhere.  Is there another step?
[22:52] <scragar> Smegzor: you need to add items to the menu for it to show
[22:52] <kelsin> Smegzor: if there are no items in that menu it won't show up... in case that's it
[22:52] <Smegzor> aha!  thanks

[22:52] <MartianLobster> lol I can't believe it I got R to install in a few minutes :)
[22:52] <Soskel> how can I clear my dns cache via term?
[22:52] <kelsin> ricanelite: System -> Admin -> Software Sources or if you're confortible it's the file /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:52] <Flare183> Matt:> it will then go through a bunch of stuff and then you will become root at the terminal
[22:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ricanelite: What are you trying to edit or do.. you can rebuild them with easysource  ie source-o-matic
[22:53] <high-freq> can someone plz enlightenme on how to use smb4k to connect to windows vista share

[22:56] <c-master> Flare183: yes
[22:56] <kelsin> c-master: linux does not name drives the way windows does. I would edit those partitions to make drive f just unpartitioned space. You can then tell ubuntu to use the free space on a drive to install
[22:56] <scragar> c-master: it'll ask you about your partitions during settup, just make sure you can tell them appart without drive letters
[22:56] <Flare183> c-master:> now put the cd into the computer and restart the computer

[22:57] <kelsin> var: gnash is the current open source try, adobe nonfree is the adobe player. That's all you get afaik
[22:57] <Odd-rationale> var: The flashplugin package is currently broken. See the topic.
[22:57] <Jack_Sparrow> var: Per the topic the current flash is broken...
[22:57] <brophat> wols_ first of all is the xorg.conf that is used in the /etc/X11 folder?
[22:57] <wols_> brophat: yes
[22:57] <kelsin> eido: if by "on top" you just mean dual boot two ubuntu installs, of course

[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> var: The workaround is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal.  I want to add my favourite apps to my custom menu (Work).  I can browse to the apps but I don't know where they live! :O  <--- newb!
[22:59] <kelsin> sleepcat: it should, are you getting an error or something?
[22:59] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: and check your xorg.conf uses the "nvidia"  driver
[22:59] <var> great thanks!
[22:59] <Odd-rationale> Thanks, Jack_Sparrow
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Odd-rationale: Thanks for that.. I made note of it
[22:59] <PirateHead> Smegzor: Can you give an example of an app you want to add?
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Odd-rationale: We should put that into the topic
[22:59] <mular> hey guys had a question with partitions.. I was having problems with an NTFS drive I accidently made a swap.. reformatted it back to ntfs now the whole hard drive comes up sdc when it used to come up sdb
[22:59] <Odd-rationale> Jack_Sparrow: Can you?
[23:00] <neil_d> I have a ubuntu install that has been on 3 motherboards, as a result now the network interface is known as eth3 how can I reset this to eth0 ?
[23:00] <Smegzor> pretty much anything that is in the menu already.  eg.  ToDo
[23:00] <var> how do i install http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_i386.deb?  sorry im so newb
[23:00] <scragar> Smegzor: right click one, the pick properties, copy the path.
[23:00] <mular> well not really a problem I guess, just mode a why did that happen / is it ok question
[23:00] <var> sudo apt-get install http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_i386.deb ???
[23:00] <mikebeecham> are you still up and about Jack_Sparrow?
[23:00] <sleepcat> kelsin: i'm doing it on solaris and it works.  I'm wondering if it works on ubuntu since i don't have a linux system nearby
[23:00] <kelsin> Smegzor: should be able to go to the item already in the menu and click properties, then just copy what's there
[23:00] <Odd-rationale> var: Download the .deb file
[23:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Odd-rationale: I can suggest it... but not sure.. it is a bit long
[23:00] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Yeah, it says driver "nvidia"
[23:00] <PirateHead> Smegzor: Okay. Are you using the tool from System -> Preferences -> Main Menu?
[23:00] <brophat> wols_ in the monitor section it only has two lines   Identifier      "A70"   and      Option          "DPMS"
[23:00] <var> ah i see, it's a recognized format
[23:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: BArely
[23:00] <Smegzor> yeah I thought of that.  Some of the apps aren't listed though.  Not everything installs a menu entry.
[23:00] <kelsin> sleepcat: it should if they are using the same version of find, or at least compatible options
[23:00] <wols_> PirateHead: no but I have used pum and saw this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/misc/nvidia-new-kernel-source
[23:00] <Smegzor> PirateHead: yep
[23:01] <Odd-rationale> var: Then double-click the file.
[23:01] <var> Odd-rationale: thanks
[23:01] <PirateHead> Smegzor: So you've created a new folder called Work and it's showing up like you want it to?
[23:01] <var> i owe you one
[23:01] <Odd-rationale> var: Of course.
[23:01] <kelsin> Smegzor: you can always type "dpkg -L <package-name>" to see what files a package installed to find binaries, most live in /usr/bin
[23:01] <Smegzor> er. yes..  once I've added an app :)
[23:01] <eido> !pendrive
[23:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pendrive - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:01] <mikebeecham> so I just need to find out now why I have no applications showing in my menu bar, and why I cant access Main menu to edit them
[23:01] <eido> !thumbdrive

[23:02] <vocx> !deb > var
[23:02] <eido> sorry
[23:02] <brophat> wols_ and I assume a sudo before that?
[23:02] <wols_> brophat: yes
[23:02] <brophat> wols_ thanks
[23:02] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: The restricted driver manager also says that nvidia is in use
[23:02] <ovid> vocx: would my raid have something to do with it not working? i dont think the knoppix disc can see my raid to partition it (do i use partition image program?)
[23:02] <kelsin> eido: the default ubuntu install page has links to how to isntall on a flash drive, msg ubotu with "install" to get the link
[23:03] <eido> kelsin: ty
[23:03] <vocx> ovid, doh!    Of course raid is bad for any installation, what were you thinking?
[23:03] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: is the nvidia kernel module loaded and is the nvidia driver used in your xorg.conf?
[23:03] <yubwyub> hmm.... any ideas here about a screen resolotion problem I have? it says currently 1600x1200 50Hz (50 hertz should really be impossibe!) the ones I can choose from is 50Hz, 57Hz, 58Hz, 59Hz.
[23:03] <yubwyub> anyway... I want to chnage to 1280x1024 (web text is too small now) but the only Hz-settings there is for that is 52, 75, 76, 78, 79 (it should be at least 85 I think.....)
[23:03] <ovid> vocx: haha, yea i just thought of that...so..thats the issue? knoppix got pci error and 1000 other random crap i couldnt read
[23:03] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: It is used in xorg.conf how would I check if the kernel module is loaded
[23:04] <wols_> yubwyub: TFT LCD or a CRT?
[23:04] <yubwyub> and when I tried that 1280x1024 79Hz it did go to something that looks like interlace mode. horrible.
[23:04] <yubwyub> CRT
[23:04] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: lsmod
[23:04] <brophat> wols_ nvidia driver is better than the nv driver rightz/
[23:04] <peterpan_> how to mount
[23:04] <irreducibilis> Precisely 52 Hz?
[23:04] <irreducibilis> What kind of Frame Rate is that?
[23:04] <xoqa> how would one download http://hometown.aol.com/jesusandsue2/MeleKalikimakaBingCrosby.wav ?
[23:04] <vocx> ovid, it's like "oh, I forgot to tell you I'm pregnant"
[23:04] <void^> yubwyub: that's a feature of nvidia's driver, it doesn't show actual refresh rates by default.
[23:04] <wols_> yubwyub: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xrg
[23:04] <root> hallowwwwwwwwwwwwww
[23:04] <yubwyub> it is and DELL P990 (trinitron)
[23:04] <kelsin> brophat: nvidia is the official drive from nvidia, nv is the driver without good 3d support, but fully open source
[23:04] <wols_> yubwyub: there you can set max res
[23:04] <scragar>  xoqa: wget http://hometown.aol.com/jesusandsue2/MeleKalikimakaBingCrosby.wav
[23:04] <root> !seen si baliwae ?
[23:04] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: alex@alex-desktop:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia

[23:04] <Some_Person> I'm having trouble with GLX. It was working fine yesterday. Screensaver is slow and choppy and glxgears says about 14 FPS.
[23:04] <xoqa> scragar: thank you!
[23:04] <Alex_Gaynor> i2c_core               30208  2 i2c_nforce2,nvidia
[23:05] <scragar>  xoqa: or just use firefox...
[23:05] <juano__> peterpan_: windows partition ?
[23:05] <neil_d> I have a ubuntu install that has been on 3 motherboards, as a result now the network interface is known as eth3 how can I reset this to eth0 ?
[23:05] <ovid> vocx: haha, sorry, i dont know crap about linux and what it needs...can i break my raid and install on one of the drives you think?
[23:05] <peterpan_> how to mount in a way that is readonly to me.. (iam the only user.. my login name is log1 . (am i root also?))       but i want it to be writeable or deletable by root only.
[23:05] <peterpan_> juano__ yes
[23:05] <peterpan_> ^
[23:05] <juano__> !diskmounter | peterpan_
[23:05] <ubotu> peterpan_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[23:05] <xoqa> scragar: yeah.. firefox... nope.. things are running slow since there's many programs running atm
[23:05] <yubwyub> void^, aha so it shows some fake numbers?
[23:05] <TheZealot> Is there a way to search your filesystem for siles by their date created? specifically files created today?
[23:05] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: glxinfo says direct rendering is working?
[23:05] <peterpan_> juano__ its fat32
[23:05] <brophat> kelsin after I installed 7.10 it grabbed nvidia for me. maybe my box with the nvidia won't allow over 800x600 resolution? but with the nv it will?
[23:06] <juano__> peterpan_: filesystem should be vfat then
[23:06] <vocx> ovid, I've never setup an array, but sure you know how to do it since it's your own PC.  Is it in the BIOS?
[23:06] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: alex@alex-desktop:~$ glxinfo
[23:06] <Alex_Gaynor> name of display: :0.0

[23:06] <PirateHead> wols_: If my glxinfo says that direct rendering is not working, how do I get it to recognize my graphics card and thus my direct rendering?
[23:06] <scragar> xoqa: might be easier to add "&& exit" after the command, so it closes the terminal window when it's done...
[23:06] <wols_> PirateHead: start with lspci to check which card it is
[23:06] <eido> wow
[23:06] <Smegzor> Hmm!  Right clicking on menu entries doesn't give me a properties option so I can't use that method to find out where an app lives.  I looked for ToDo in /user/bin and it isn't there.
[23:06] <peterpan_> juano__ but how to mount in such a way that only root has write access.
[23:06] <Some_Person> Please help me! My screensaver and glxgears is choppy! According to glxgears, its using about 14 FPS. According to glxinfo, Direct Rendering is on.
[23:07] <TimS> Timmy you there?
[23:07] <peterpan_> juano__ for others . it should be read only
[23:07] <kelsin> brophat: so xorg is using the nvidia driver now? but not letting your go above 800x600? Should probably run "gksu nvidia-settings" to run the nvidia settings problem and set up your resolution how you like
[23:07] <kelsin> peterpan_: are you mounting it from /etc/fstab?
[23:07] <TimS> Timmy?
[23:07] <TimS> Guess not.
[23:07] <Smegzor> aha!  I found properties! :D
[23:07] <PirateHead> wols_: It's a  ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[23:07] <scragar> peterpan_: mount -r DEVICE
[23:07] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Whoops, heres the link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48592/
[23:07] <mular> how come some drives that get mounted automatically appear on the desktop, but some do not? how do you change that?
[23:08] <vocx> Some_Person, what card? what drivers?
[23:08] <brophat> kelsin yes you understand the problem. ok will do
[23:08] <TimS> How rude.
[23:08] <irreducibilis> I have always wondered, what exactly does the ops command do? Does it turn an op temporarily into a bot to automatically fix the problem? :/
[23:08] <Some_Person> vocx: nVidia GeForce 6100 using nvidia-glx-new driver. It was working fine yesterday by the way.
[23:08] <wols_> PirateHead: fglrx should do it
[23:08] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: your nvidia-glx is not loaded/borkedn
[23:08] <peterpan_> scragar iam new. can you tell me how to do it in gui.. iam using kubuntu
[23:09] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: How would I fix that
[23:09] <Smegzor> bother!  the prefs -> main menu doesn't give me the ability to delete empty menus or copy and paste items to other menus :(
[23:09] <kelsin> irreducibilis: it just displays the ops names, so they get a highlight, normally one responds pretty quickly
[23:09] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: pastebin your Xorg log
[23:09] <brophat> kelsin the command would be sudo gksu nvidia-settings  ??
[23:09] <ifireball> mular: I think this has to do with whither the drive appears in /etc/fstab or not, but I never really looked into it
[23:09] <scragar> peterpan_: I don't think you can do it from a gui, but if you can open kommand or whatever it's called
[23:09] <PirateHead> wols_: How do I intall fglrx? I used the Restricted Manager to install the driver that it suggested, but my glxinfo still says no direct rendering. Back in Feisty, direct rendering worked fine.
[23:09] <wols_> brophat: no sudo
[23:09] <kelsin> brophat: don't need sudo, gksu is sudo but for graphical apps
[23:09] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Where is that located?
[23:09] <brophat> ah ok
[23:09] <wols_> PirateHead: pastebin your Xorg logs as well
[23:09] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: /var/log/
[23:10] <peterpan_> scragar how to do it in konsol... exactly?
[23:10] <mular> ifireball, ok hrm well that can't be actually because my external drive isn't found in fstab it auto mounts on boot and also goes to the desktop
[23:10] <Smegzor> how am I supposed to modify my menus without delete or copy and paste?  Its like this tool is only half done.
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> irreducibilis: Just note that !ops involves special probes and high voltage.. not to be used lightly
[23:10] <PirateHead> wols_: You mean my xorg.conf?
[23:10] <scragar> peterpan_: should be somewhere in the kmenu, if you can't find it press alt+F2, then type xterm. it's not as pretty, but it works
[23:10] <wols_> PirateHead: no
[23:10] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48593/ Thanks
[23:10] <wols_> PirateHead: I mean what I said
[23:11] <PirateHead> wols_: I don't know where the logs are.
[23:11] <brophat> wols_ my X configure program is hanging
[23:11] <eido> kelsin: sorry the install page doesn't seem to mention usb installs and almost all google search link to this site, http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
[23:11] <ifireball> mular: I mean, it doesn't have an Icon if its in fstab, it automounts on boot with the same hotplug process if mounts when you plug it in
[23:11] <TheZealot> Is there a way to search your filesystem for siles by their date created? specifically files created today?
[23:11] <Some_Person> vocx: can you help me?
[23:12] <PirateHead> wols_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[23:12] <eido> kelsin: i think i can work with that tutorial my only question is after downloading the iso do I have to mount it then copy all files to the flash pen?
[23:12] <scragar> TheZealot: the "find" command offers time searching, but it's a slow process
[23:12] <vocx> Some_Person, sorry, no experience with it. Just wanted to know if you were using a VIA card.
[23:12] <Smegzor> yay! I found a delete option for menu entries in Main Menu (it was hiding)
