[00:00] <zsquareplusc> electro: does it have a partition table at all? usually usb memory is without. but you need to set up a partition table if you're going to use it as hard drive replacement.

[00:01] <mhall119> evilspawn4: that's not what I'm asking for
[00:01] <jrib> neuton: because you asked about a package that does not exist in the repositories
[00:01] <evilspawn4> mhall119: its working now :)

[00:01] <mhall119> oh, well okay then, you didn't need me
[00:01] <evilspawn4> mhall119: i guess i just didnt install the right thing lol
[00:02] <jrib> kri: change the user agent to match your browser I guess
[00:02] <mhall119> maybe, or the install didn't work right
[00:02] <neuton> i got it I forgot to seperate the cli with -
[00:02] <mhall119> glad it's working

[00:02] <kri> jrib: my user agent? wget? the terminal? ...
[00:02] <electro> are there known issues with the persistent install option?
[00:02] <jrib> kri: the user agent wget uses
[00:02] <neuton> it says 0.72.dfsg-1 as the installed version

[00:03] <jrib> moDumass: did you try the xorg.conf option I told you about earlier?
[00:03] <jrib> z987k: *pastebin*
[00:03] <csilk> crimsun, it was a little extreme, but a re-install sorted the pbuilder problem out, at last I can move all packaging work away from my laptop and onto a dual screen desktop :D
[00:03] <jrib> !pastebin > z987k
[00:03] <crimsun> csilk: good, sorry to hear that it took such an extreme

[00:04] <moDumass> jrib, yeh all display options in there still have 1440x900 as an option
[00:04] <electro> any suggestions about booting to the flash drive?
[00:04] <martin_> Any other suggestions for installing on an empty partition on a Mac (that doesn't have a cd drive)?
[00:04] <moDumass> jrib, in xorg.conf i mean
[00:04] <z987k> jrib, paste.ubuntu.com/69052
[00:05] <zmitya> hi all
[00:05] <zmitya> I just upgraded my system to intrepid
[00:05] <jrib> moDumass: no, earlier I gave you a specific option to try adding to your xorg.conf
[00:05] <J2daosh> martin, install from a flash, install from a network, buy a portable hard drive
[00:06] <TIMREICHHART> can somebody tell me how would I join 2 servers onto one ip address
[00:06] <martin_> J2daosh: I can't usb boot on my macbook air..
[00:06] <admin_masu3701> J2daoh: just sudo apt-get install chm reader?
[00:06] <unus> hello all, i recently installed ubuntu 9.10. with this i found that my laptop speakers are working, but the headphone jack is not. i have tried every single thing i could find online about this, and it seems that my chipset is a problem (sound chipset that is), the chipset is realtek ALC861-VD.... i have tried many things that worked for others and did not work for me... any help please (i also could not get OSS to install to try over ALSA)
[00:06] <moDumass> jrib, sorry let me backtrack, im getting about 30 lines of text on screen so i may have missed it
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> martin_: i dont know about mac, but on standard pc you can make a bootable USB disk with the contents of the CD on it. the new ubuntu has even a tool to do taht for you if you can boot the livecd somewhere
[00:06] <amews_aj> I downloaded the nvidia-glx-96, but it does not seem to activate. Do I have to do something manually?
[00:06] <zmitya> i can see that ther is an "effect" what is able to record video of my desktop
[00:06] <J2daosh> admin_masu3701: apt-cache search chm|grep reader
[00:06] <zmitya> but it does not work somehow
[00:06] <jrib> z987k: did you try a mirror?
[00:06] <zmitya> si it possible to run it by hand ?
[00:06] <martin_> zsquareplusc: thx but cant usb boot sadly..
[00:06] <J2daosh> that will give you chm reader packages, then just apt-get install whatever reader you choose
[00:07] <jrib> z987k: wait.  That url does not exist for me either...
[00:07] <robacarp> what is the package name for firefox 3 on gutsy?
[00:07] <martin_> I have the Ubuntu .iso and an empty partition staring at me :)
[00:07] <electro> I used the built in Create a USB Startup Disk in 8.10 but it says Invalid or damaged partition when I try to boot to it
[00:07] <z987k> jrib, yeah same deal
[00:07] <J2daosh> martin: you cant boot anything usb, or you just cant boot a flash drive?
[00:07] <admin_masu3701> J2daosh: ok
[00:07] <moDumass> jrib, sorry i cant find that, but i can only scrol back as far as 7 mins ago
[00:07] <jrib> z987k: what is lpia?  Is that your arch?
[00:08] <gescape> hi
[00:08] <martin_> J2daosh: can't boot from any usb, my mac is too new
[00:08] <admin_masu3701> J2daosh: no preference?
[00:08] <J2daosh> robacarp: apt-cache search firefox|grep 3
[00:08] <J2daosh> martin, then your kinda SOL
[00:08] <martin_> damn
[00:08] <J2daosh> not really, a chm reader is a chm reader
[00:08] <martin_> can't I image the partition in some way?
[00:08] <z987k> jrib, no clue it looks foreign to me to... this is on a dell netbook so I think they might have something to do with that, but as far as I know it should be i386
[00:08] <gescape> would you upgrade 8.04 to 8.10?
[00:08] <robacarp> J2daosh: I thought about that...but its described as a "development version"
[00:08] <admin_masu3701> ok
[00:08] <linkmaster03> How do I delete monitors from the Screen Resolution setup? None are plugged in and it still shows "Unknown"
[00:09] <shadewin1> why doesn't the automatic install of nvidia binary drivers work?
[00:09] <jrib> moDumass: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.04/README/appendix-b.html    Option "UseEdidFreqs" "False"
[00:09] <bobbiem> Can anyone help me with installing Java for 8.04 LTS. i ran sudo update-alternatives --config java
[00:09] <shadewin1> I click the activate button but NOTHING happens
[00:09] <J2daosh> linkmaster03: you have to remove then from the xorg.conf
[00:09] <bobbiem> now i have some choices to pick from!
[00:09] <linkmaster03> J2daosh: I looked in there and I couldn't find the extra monitor
[00:09] <jrib> moDumass: or some other edid option.  I don't recall exactly
[00:09] <z987k> jrib, seems it should be /binary-i386/......
[00:10] <jrib> z987k: right, so something's wrong there.  What does 'uname -a' return?
[00:10] <zmitya> guys where can I find that the desktop video recordes saves ?
[00:10] <zmitya> *recorder
[00:10] <bobbiem> can anyone help me with installing java?
[00:10] <csilk> bobbiem, sudo apt-get install sun-java6
[00:10] <J2daosh> wow, its like working a free call center in here right now lol
[00:11] <jrib> z987k: ah, http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/  Now let's see if we can figure out where the repos are
[00:11] <ardchoille> sun-java6-jre in Intrepid
[00:11] <zmitya> guys where can I find that the desktop video recorder saves ?
[00:11] <bobbiem> csilk, it says it couldnt find package
[00:11] <z987k> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/69054
[00:11] <jrib> z987k: this one seems to work: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/intrepid/main/binary-lpia/
[00:11] <J2daosh> zmitya: try doing a man on the application
[00:11] <ardchoille> bobbiem: for intrepid it's sun-java6-jre
[00:12] <csilk> bobbiem,  i meant sun-java6-jre
[00:12] <zmitya> J2daosh: great, but which app ?
[00:12] <csilk> bobbiem, If you ever need a package name try  aptitude search NAME
[00:12] <csilk> where name is part of the package you want
[00:12] <z987k> jrib, it does.... what is lpia though?
[00:12] <jrib> z987k: check out the first link to lwn I gave
[00:12] <icqnumber>  Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media RTP depayloader|decoder-application/x-rtp, what package do i miss?
[00:12] <MrDowntempo> Is it possible to run an nvidia video card and an ati card at the same time under intrepid ibex?
[00:13] <z987k> jrib, the ports.ubunutu link?
[00:13] <ardchoille> MrDowntempo: you have two monitors on the same machine?
[00:13] <harushimo> I have a quick question
[00:13] <jrib> z987k: ah, http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/  Now let's see if we can figure out where the repos are
[00:13] <harushimo> is there a way to install hardy heron through the command line
[00:13] <J2daosh> whichever one is doing the movie
[00:13] <z987k> ah!
[00:14] <csilk> bobbiem,  did that work?
[00:14] <harushimo> because I can't get into the cd due an fd0 error and the network install doesn't work
[00:14] <ardchoille> harushimo: the alternate cd uses a text-based installer
[00:14] <linkmaster03> harushimo: what version of ubuntu do you currently have?
[00:14] <mhall119> harushimo: you mean a non-graphical install, or something you can run remotely?
[00:14] <bobbiem> csilk, ok i have a list
[00:14] <bobbiem> csilk, but i dont know what to do now
[00:14] <harushimo> I'm running Gutsy Gibbon
[00:14] <MrDowntempo> ardchoille: Well 3
[00:14] <harushimo> yes non-graphical
[00:14] <csilk> bobbiem, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre will install java for you
[00:15] <csilk> as previously said
[00:15] <mhall119> harushimo: the alternative CD has that
[00:15] <ardchoille> MrDowntempo: ok
[00:15] <harushimo> the alternative cd didn't work
[00:15] <harushimo> I have it
[00:15] <z987k> jrib, would it just be in the ports.ubuntu.com/       ?
[00:15] <harushimo> I'll be straight honest. I haven't be able to install Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon
[00:15] <jrib> z987k: should be
[00:15] <mhall119> harushimo, I think there is a boot option to skip checking for fd0, but I don't remember it off the top of my head, try googling for it
[00:16] <linkmaster03> harushimo: the latest version is 8.10 intrepid ibex, but use: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:16] <harushimo> ok
[00:16] <csilk> bobbiem, work?
[00:16] <bobbiem> csilk,  Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[00:16] <bobbiem> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[00:16] <bobbiem> is only available from another source
[00:16] <bobbiem> E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate
[00:16] <FloodBot1> bobbiem: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:16] <harushimo> has there been any problems at all with Intrepid Ibex
[00:16] <ardchoille> linkmaster03: that won't upgrade him to intrepid
[00:16] <ardchoille> harushimo: you currently have Gutsy?
[00:17] <linkmaster03> ardchoille: i know, he wants hardy
[00:17] <MrDowntempo> ardchoille: I have one plugged into a radeon, and I have two more plugged into a geforce. I currently am running the binary fglrx driver for the radeon. Installing the nvidia driver forces the radeon driver to be removed.
[00:17] <csilk> bobbiem, sudo apt-get update
[00:17] <ardchoille> linkmaster03: that won't upgrade him to hardy either
[00:17] <csilk> then rey again
[00:17] <csilk> *try
[00:17] <linkmaster03> ardchoille: why not?
[00:17] <harushimo> I currently have gutsy
[00:17] <mhall119> bobbiem: do you have the multiverse repository enabled?
[00:17] <harushimo> I can install that with no problem
[00:17] <MExTux> Does anybody know what is this??? ---> useradd newuser -s /bin/false
[00:17] <harushimo> I can get into the live cd for Hardy Heron or Interpid Ibex
[00:17] <harushimo> I mean can't
[00:17] <ardchoille> linkmaster03: because dist-upgrade updates software presently on the system from the softweare sources, it doesn't upgrade to the next release
[00:18] <csilk> harushimo, what happends?
[00:18] <mhall119> MExTux: it created a new user account
[00:18] <csilk> *happens
[00:18] <bobbiem> mhall119, i am not sure
[00:18] <ardchoille> !upgrade | harushimo
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> harushimo: i've ad no probs at all w/ Ibex..... but if you have gutsy, you'll have to go Gutsy---Hardy---Ibex
[00:18] <zsquareplusc> MExTux: it adds a new user whose shell is set to false, so he cant log in interactively
[00:18] <linkmaster03> ardchoille: i used it to update my release of debian from etch -> lenny..
[00:18] <Cpudan80> Can you upgrade directly from Gutsy Gibbon to Ibex ?
[00:18] <ardchoille> linkmaster03: this isn't debian ;)
[00:18] <Cpudan80> oh apparently not
[00:18] <linkmaster03> ardchoille: :(
[00:18] <harushimo> with Hardy Heron, fd0 error. With Intrepid Ibex, it goes to busy box and doesn't load
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | harushimo
[00:19] <icqnumber>  Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media RTP depayloader|decoder-application/x-rtp, what package do i miss?
[00:19] <harushimo> the Alternate cd doesn't work
[00:19] <harushimo> I tried it
[00:19] <harushimo> I get the same error
[00:19] <IndyGunFreak> harushimo: then i suspect its a user malfunction./
[00:19] <MExTux> What does mean the user can't log in interactively??
[00:19] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: looks like a proprietary codec
[00:19] <aboSamoor> Hi, I want a control version system to store my code and its revisions, I don'y know If I can use launchpad for such thing ????
[00:19] <ardchoille> harushimo: or hardware problem
[00:19] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: do you have the medibuntu repo enabled?
[00:19] <bobbiem> csilk, ok a list of things came up and it said Reading package lists... Done
[00:19] <scunizi> harushimo: do you have a newer motherboard?
[00:19] <harushimo> yeah
[00:19] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille: unlikely a hardware problem if he's installing gutsy ok.
[00:19] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, yep
[00:19] <scunizi> harushimo: which one.
[00:19] <harushimo> I have Abit Fatality board
[00:19] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[00:19] <mhall119> bobbiem: Go to System->Administration->Software Sources and enable Multiverse
[00:20] <mhall119> then run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre"
[00:20] <jrib> !ppa > aboSamoor
[00:20] <harushimo> I bought it last year
[00:20] <tecnicodpc> Hello 2 all
[00:20] <harushimo> the first install on the board was Gutsy Gibbon which had no problem using
[00:20] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, i have it installed but ...no luck
[00:20] <scunizi> harushimo: that might be the issue.. I have a geforce 8200 that won't work with Hardy but boots to Ibex.. it's a kernel thing
[00:20] <jrib> aboSamoor: but if you want something local, just use bzr, git, darcs, or mercurial
[00:20] <zsquareplusc> MExTux: he can not open a console, when logging in. he will be thrown out. but a service may be run under that name for example. such dummy users are used for security reasons e.g. when a web server is run
[00:20] <foo> How can I tell what ubuntu version I'm on?
[00:21] <IndyGunFreak> scunizi: he's having problems w/ hardy and ibex.... so i'm doubting thats the issue.
[00:21] <DCPom> !version
[00:21] <harushimo> is there a way I can do a kernel upgrade then
[00:21] <rhavenw> hi,
[00:21] <JonRob> does anyone here know if grub will boot a hibernated windows vista partition normally?
[00:21] <rhavenw> im trying to make a partition on an external usb partition bootable using unetbootin,
[00:21] <csilk> bobbiem, go to application>add/remove programs at the top there is a drop down list, set it to "all available applications" then try and install java
[00:21] <rhavenw> but i cant seem to get it to boot
[00:21] <scunizi> harushimo: you might wait until 8.10.1 is out and try again.. also read the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:21] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: what is the file you are trying to play and through what video player?
[00:21] <harushimo> All I know both versions of 8 doesn't work on my computer which I don't get
[00:21] <jenga_boy> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[00:21] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: I had the same problem with the same releases, switching mobo's solved it
[00:21] <mhall119> csilk: he needs to enable multiverse first
[00:21] <aboSamoor> jrib, I was using google code, it is not projects. Some homeworks and shared work. but it seems that my account in google code is having a bug. Anyway, I am asking if it is legal to use launchpad for such thing ?
[00:22] <scunizi> IndyGunFreak: got it
[00:22] <csilk> mhall119, that will do it for him mhall119
[00:22] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, http://cluster.quantumart.ru/broadcast/default.aspx?media=rusradio stream totem(gstreamer)
[00:22] <bobbiem> mhall119, i have the software source up, where is the multiverse?
[00:22] <harushimo> what do I? just stick Gutsy until the support is stop
[00:22] <tecnicodpc> Can i install ubuntu on window vista ...  ????
[00:22] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, looks like it works for other people, but not for me
[00:22] <MExTux> I want to create an user to just log in to upload files to my web server using VSFTPD. Do I need to use -s /bin/false when I create it ??
[00:22] <harushimo> How long is Gutsy Gibbon supported til anyways?
[00:22] <jrib> aboSamoor: ah sorry, you just want to use launchpad's bzr branches, not ppa.  Sure just start a project and use it.  I don't see why not
[00:23] <MrDowntempo> Anyone know if its possible to run an nvidia and ati card togethor under ibex?
[00:23] <mhall119> bobbiem: fourth check box from the top
[00:23] <IndyGunFreak> harushimo: 18mo after oct. 07
[00:23] <rambo3> !find silverlight
[00:23] <jrib> rambo3: google moonlight
[00:23] <harushimo> wow
[00:23] <zsquareplusc> MExTux: yes. for such a purpose this is a good idea. otherwise the same account could be used for remote login on your machine, if you are running sshd for example
[00:23] <rambo3> o_0
[00:24] <aboSamoor> jrib, for sure my code is open source. But i used collabnet previously and their policy was not to use the service for personal usage
[00:24] <harushimo> It would be nice to upgrade but it looks like that isn't happening
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> harushimo: i suspect there's some underlying issue thats causing your problem.. i don't think ist the OS or your hardware.
[00:24] <rambo3> "not to use the service for personal usage" lol ?
[00:24] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: i'm looking at it
[00:24] <jrib> aboSamoor: I see.  Try #launchpad
[00:25] <harushimo> I've been trying to figure out since Hardy came out
[00:25] <LF|Irssi> how do i get cron to run a 'backup.sh" script every hour? i chmodded the script +x    heres the cron:  0 * * * * cd /home/linuxfan/backups/mysqlbackup.sh
[00:25] <aboSamoor> jrib, thanks for help :)
[00:25] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: well it's x-ms-asf, so it should play as long as totem and gstreamer and w32codecs are installed.. hm
[00:25] <harushimo> I have no clue
[00:25] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, ok thank you
[00:25] <rhavenw> im trying to make a partition on an external usb partition bootable using unetbootin, I downloaded the ibex iso. but i cant seem to get it to boot
[00:25] <lyk3n> hello
[00:25] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, do it works for you
[00:25] <rhavenw> any one know why i can find information?
[00:26] <ardchoille> LF|Irssi: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/CrontabTutorial
[00:26] <bobbiem> mhall119, ok got it checked and updated or whatever it did, now what?
[00:26] <LF|Irssi> oops the bash script is named mysqlbackup.sh not 'backup.sh'
[00:26] <csilk> bobbiem,  now install java
[00:26] <salmenara> hello
[00:26] <zsquareplusc> LF|Irssi: you could write "daily" insteaf of the timespec numbers. or place the script in /etc/cron.hourly
[00:26] <csilk> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

[00:26] <csilk> salmenara, I do
[00:26] <harushimo> yeah I do
[00:26] <jrib> lyk3n: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[00:27] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: no but i'm running vlc plugin
[00:27] <lyk3n> jrib, thanks.
[00:27] <harushimo> i need to get going. be back on later
[00:27] <LF|Irssi> its executing just fine zsquareplusc but it gives errors, it works fine if i just execcute the script manually
[00:27] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: don't know what to tell you, incredibly sorry
[00:27] <salmenara> csilk / harushimo: Could you configure XV with your card? I recently discovered that is not working anymore
[00:27] <balle_> hey how do i get to enable the restricted drivers in 8.10?
[00:27] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, do not you have totem or banshee installed
[00:27] <kri> jrib: say i have a list of links and i want them all http://sajten.net/babes <- the list i made check a url i want all the pictures that every url inludes
[00:27] <d> holaaaaaa
[00:27] <csilk> salmenara, what's XV?
[00:28] <salmenara> csilk: Xvideo
[00:28] <csilk> salmenara, I didn't have to, why would I?
[00:28] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: nope, i replaced them with vlc, too much bloat for me
[00:28] <DarK_L0rD> problem with compiz after upgrade to 8.10 with a ATI card
[00:28] <balle_> hey how do i get to enable the restricted drivers in 8.10?
[00:28] <salmenara> csilk: For wathcing videos in fullscreen
[00:28] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, it works in vlc for me, but not in totem
[00:28] <csilk> salmenara, that works for me
[00:28] <IndyGunFreak> balle_: system/admin/hardware drivers
[00:29] <jrib> kri: I gave you the relevant wget switches to use already
[00:29] <balle_> IndyGunFreak: non-existant only hardware testing is available
[00:29] <bobbiem> csilk, what icetea-java 7 ?
[00:29] <IndyGunFreak> balle_: then you have no restricted drivers to enable.
[00:29] <jenga_boy> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[00:30] <DarK_L0rD> can anybody help me with compiz which is not working after 8.10 upgrade?
[00:30] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: ohh i didn't know it was music
[00:30] <TheZealot> Anyone know how to give input to a python script in the same line as you execute the script? For instance if I want to roll a 6 sided die and use the rolldice.py script to generate the number I want to be able to type #python rolldice.py 6
[00:30] <TheZealot> any idea?
[00:30] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: yes it does work with the vlc plugin for me
[00:30] <csilk> bobbiem, I already told you, three time, which java package to install..... sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[00:30] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: i don't know about totem though
[00:30] <linkmaster03> icqnumber: try ubuntuforums.org
[00:30] <jrib> TheZealot: #python
[00:30] <TheZealot> jrib I can't get in thjere
[00:30] <TheZealot> jrib I can't get in there not registered
[00:30] <balle_> IndyGunFreak: well i know i haven't enabled the one for my graphics card so yes i do
[00:30] <jrib> !register | TheZealot
[00:30] <Cpudan80> TheZealot: you just read the command line args in python
[00:30] <linkmaster03> TheZealot: i can help
[00:31] <IndyGunFreak> balle_: well, clearly you don't,b ecause its not in restricted driver, odds are, there is no restricted driver for your graphics card.. what device do you have?
[00:31] <linkmaster03> TheZealot: 'import sys' in your python scripts, and call sys.argv(1) from within the script
[00:31] <MrDowntempo> ardchoille: I'm tying to run 3 monitors. I don't have a 2nd ati card but I did have an older nvidia card. I installed it and plugged it in but synaptic won't allow me to install the nvidia drivers without first uninstalling the radeon drivers. Did you know a way around that???
[00:31] <Cpudan80> TheZealot: import sys -- for arg in sys.argv: print arg
[00:31] <DarK_L0rD> compiz not working after upgrade, any help is appreciated...
[00:31] <Cpudan80> TheZealot: argv[0] is the name used to start up the program
[00:32] <icqnumber> linkmaster03, ok thank you for the hint
[00:32] <TheZealot> linkmaster03: cool thanks a lot
[00:32] <kinections> has anybody here have any experience with installing on an EFI system *without* refit ?
[00:32] <lyk3n> bye
[00:32] <balle_> IndyGunfreak: nvidia 8600 go, and yea maybe you're right but there was restricted drivers for it in hardy heron, that is why i found it a tad odd
[00:32] <linkmaster03> TheZealot: yup
[00:32] <Zuwer> Hi, my friend said that you can install Ubuntu with Wubi, just wondering where i get Wubi 8.04
[00:32] <Cpudan80> TheZealot: http://diveintopython.org/scripts_and_streams/command_line_arguments.html
[00:32] <Jordan_U> kinections: Intel Mac ?
[00:32] <WebcamWonder> !wubi | Zuwer
[00:32] <TheZealot> very helpful guys I really appreciate it!
[00:32] <kinections> Jordan_U: yes, but not any normal intel mac, so i can't use refit
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> balle_: , well i'm guessing that device shoudl have them in Intrepid..
[00:32] <Cpudan80> TheZealot: linkmaster was wrong
[00:33] <jrib> TheZealot: please ask in #python in the future
[00:33] <Cpudan80> TheZealot: argv is a list - you can't do argv(0)
[00:33] <Cpudan80> you can do [0]
[00:33] <Jordan_U> kinections: Just hold down option at boot and choose "Windows" ( Apple refuses to acknowledge any OS but Windows and OSX )
[00:33] <DarK_L0rD> compiz not working after 8.10 upgrade...any help plz?
[00:33] <maxxist> 64bit or 32bit?  other than the lack of 64bit flash,  what other downsides are there to running 64bit?  I am just your everyday desktop user.  is 64bit really that much faster?
[00:34] <Cpudan80> maxxist: not faster
[00:34] <jrib> maxxist: you can use flash on 64bit
[00:34] <Jordan_U> DarK_L0rD: What GPU ?
[00:34] <Cpudan80> maxxist: "More pulling power"
[00:34] <balle_> IndyGunFreak: yea me too, but even when i try to enable desktop effects it just says it is unable to enable them...
[00:34] <kinections> Jordan_U: not that simple, booting linux on EFI requires an either grub2 or elilo, and getting that is the difficult part
[00:34] <csilk> maxxist, generally you won't see any advantage to running 64 bit with todays software
[00:34] <Cpudan80> jrib: ANd it sucks because Adobe is incompetent
[00:34] <IndyGunFreak> balle_: well, clearly the nvidia driver isn't installed.
[00:34] <DarK_L0rD> @jordan, u mean ubuntu 8.10
[00:34] <maxxist> is there a 64bit nvidia driver?
[00:34] <Jordan_U> kinections: If it's an intel mac then it has BIOS emulation
[00:34] <jrib> Cpudan80: wfm though I won't disagree with you on the second part of what you said
[00:34] <jrib> maxxist: yes
[00:35] <balle_> IndyGunFreak: i agree
[00:35] <bobbiem> csilk, ok it went thru everything it stopped at setting up sun-java6-bin. do i have to do anything else?
[00:35] <Jordan_U> kinections: And elilo wasn't hard to install last time I tried
[00:35] <kinections> Jordan_U: not true, only if it is a mac book pro, mac pro, or whatever, what i'm doing this on is an XServe, it has no bios stuff whatsover
[00:35] <DarK_L0rD> @jordan or did i miss u?
[00:35] <csilk> bobbiem,  you know have java installed on your system
[00:35] <Jordan_U> kinections: Ahh
[00:35] <Cpudan80> jrib: lol
[00:35] <csilk> **now
[00:35] <Cpudan80> jrib: Is it any better in 8.10 ?
[00:35] <jrib> maxxist: there's no sun java plugin though
[00:35] <rhavenw> can anyone help me with this: im trying to make a partition on an external usb partition bootable using unetbootin, I downloaded 8.10 iso. but i cant seem to get it to boot
[00:35] <maxxist> jrip is it the open flash for 64bit or is it the real commercial one?  do I need to run a 32 bit library someone
[00:35] <bobbiem> csilk, wow, thank you soooo much!
[00:35] <jrib> Cpudan80: yeah, nsplug restarts itself on crash so you don't have to restart the browser :)
[00:36] <Cpudan80> maxxist: It seems that audio/video codecs also need a little extra help on 64 bit
[00:36] <maxxist> jrib also how is wine under 64bit??
[00:36] <kinections> Jordan_U: well, I can have it detect a EFI Boot partition that i have blessed, however, it still boots into mac os x, despite the elilo.conf not having that entry, i think it's falling back to the mac partition
[00:36] <Cpudan80> jrib: well that's good
[00:36] <jrib> maxxist: works fine
[00:36] <Cpudan80> maxxist: I used 64 bit for a while, I found it to be too much of a hassle
[00:36] <WebcamWonder> jrib, nsplug never restarts itself. I have to restart my browser all the time
[00:36] <jrib> WebcamWonder: are you in intrepid?
[00:36] <Cpudan80> If this is your first venture into linux, I'd stick with 32 bit
[00:36] <WebcamWonder> jrib, Nope. Hardy.
[00:36] <jrib> WebcamWonder: well there you go :)
[00:36] <DarK_L0rD> any help with compiz-fusion which is not working after an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 ubuntu?
[00:36] <kinections> Jordan_U: but i'm new at this, ad i'm not good with macs at all, so i don't know how to get it to work, i'm experimenting on a mac tower right now, but i will be moving it over to the xserve once it is working
[00:37] <jrib> maxxist: how much ram do you have?
[00:37] <maxxist> I think i want to try it out.
[00:37] <maxxist> jrib 2GB on a core2duo 2.66
[00:37] <IndyGunFreak> maxxist: i tend to agree with Cpudan80 .. thats good advice..
[00:37] <WebcamWonder> jrib, But the flash 10 is *supposed* to be more stable, so the idea of restart is pretty much pointless
[00:37] <Jordan_U> kinections: What happens when you try to install rEFIt? ( I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work )
[00:37] <jrib> WebcamWonder: hmm?
[00:37] <Cpudan80> maxxist: And what are you going to do on the linux box?
[00:37] <jrib> maxxist: not really worth it imo to go 64bit.  But if you want to play, I guess that's ok
[00:38] <maxxist> cpudan88 mainly desktop stuff.
[00:38] <Cpudan80> maxxist: you will see no recognizable difference then
[00:38] <neil_d> I have an error message saying "Error activating XKB configuration....." what can I do about it ?
[00:38] <Cpudan80> If you were doing something like crunching a lot of data ... then ...
[00:38] <bobbiem> csilk, i still cant play my games. its still wants me to install java
[00:38] <kinections> Jordan_U: well, refit doesn't do anything, since (to the best of my knowledge) what it does is that it creates a fake MBR and syncs it to the EFI stuff so you can use a legacy boot loader
[00:38] <maxxist> most of the apps i run have 64bit binaries avail.   like deluge for example.
[00:38] <balle_> does anybody know how to access the restricted drivers in intrepid?
[00:39] <jrib> balle_: system -> admin -> hardware
[00:39] <bobbiem> csilk, do i have to restart or anything?
[00:39] <MrDowntempo> Is there a way to prevent a package from being uninstalled?
[00:39] <Jordan_U> kinections: No, that is only one ( minor ) feature of rEFIt
[00:39] <DarK_L0rD> @ Jordan my GPU is ATI Radeon X1200 series
[00:39] <jrib> MrDowntempo: what is trying to uninstall it and why?
[00:39] <balle_> jrib: there is only hardware testing.....
[00:39] <dn4> what computer language is  00000719 000006E8 0000E441 0000B631 0003363E 0003363E 00008865 00008876 000609D1 00060D97
[00:39] <kinections> Jordan_U: well, i'm unsure of what else it does, maybe i'll look into it more, but it did not work on the xserve
[00:39] <jrib> balle_: there should be "hardware drivers" if you are on intrepid
[00:39] <Cpudan80> dn4: hex?
[00:39] <kooparg> wodim: media format asked
[00:39] <kooparg> Error: only support DVD+RW formating, ignoring.
[00:39] <kooparg> This drive or media does not support the 'FORMAT media' command
[00:39] <kooparg> wodim: Cannot format disk, aborting. any ideas'
[00:39] <FloodBot1> kooparg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:40] <balle_> jrib: i am on intrepid and there is none sadly...
[00:40] <dn4> Cpudan80: I tried a hex convert to ascii
[00:40] <kinections> Jordan_U: i was not the one that experimented with that, however, the person that did do it, has used refit on a whole labs worth of mac pros, so i assume he knew what he was doing
[00:40] <csilk> bobbiem, no
[00:40] <jrib> balle_: try jockey-gtk in a shell.  You're using GNOME?
[00:40] <Jordan_U> balle_: Do you have the "ubuntu-desktop" package installed?
[00:40] <WebcamWonder> Any ideas when will nspluginwrapper 1.1.0 be backported to hardy?
[00:40] <csilk> bobbiem,  you need the browser java plugin if you wanna play games
[00:40] <bobbiem> csilk, :( i dont know what else to do
[00:40] <balle_> jrib: yes GNOME and will try jockey
[00:40] <MrDowntempo> jrib: Nvidia driver is trying to uninstall fglrx
[00:40] <csilk> bobbiem,  you need the browser java plugin if you wanna play games
[00:40] <Cpudan80> dn4: those look like memory addresses from a stack trace, you cant convert them to ascii
[00:40] <bobbiem> csilk, so how do i do that?
[00:41] <jrib> MrDowntempo: right, because I'm guessing the packages conflict.  That's usually for a good reason
[00:41] <remu> Hey guys, I need some help setting up my bluetooth audio headset.
[00:41] <balle_> Jordan_U i am running the GNOME if that's what your asking
[00:41] <MrDowntempo> jrib: The peeps in #xorg are saying they shouldn't conflict
[00:41] <DarK_L0rD> Can somebody help with COMPIZ which is not working after a 8.10 upgrade?
[00:41] <jrib> MrDowntempo: well you can download the package source and edit the metadata then
[00:41] <Jordan_U> balle_: It's not
[00:41] <jrib> !source > MrDowntempo
[00:42] <Cpudan80> MrDowntempo: Ubuntu doesnt use Xorg
[00:42] <remu> My system recognizes the bluetooth headset, and it is in my list of devices, however, I am unable to connect or to get it to work properly.
[00:42] <jrib> Cpudan80: eh?
[00:42] <Cpudan80> err Intrepid doesn't anyway
[00:42] <csilk> bobbiem, you need to stop asking t be spoon fed         sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin          then restart the browser
[00:42] <Cpudan80> jrib: DOesnt it use something else now?
[00:42] <jrib> Cpudan80: yes it does...
[00:42] <Cpudan80> Maybe it just got rid of the conf file?
[00:42] <maxxist> cpudan80 i am sure it uses xorg
[00:42] <Cpudan80> must just be the conf file then
[00:42] <Cpudan80> yeah... I knew that was wrong when I said it lol
[00:42] <Jordan_U> balle_: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that depends on all of the packages included in a default Ubuntu install, among them being jockey-gtk
[00:43] <maxxist> cpudan80 yeah xorg.conf is auto confiugered now.
[00:43] <jrib> Cpudan80: right, the input devices are done through fdi files now
[00:43] <MrDowntempo> jrib: Both packages are binary only of course.
[00:43] <Cpudan80> yeah thats what I was thinking
[00:43] <jrib> Cpudan80: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/
[00:43] <Cpudan80> those fdi files... I hate them
[00:43] <kooparg> Error: only support DVD+RW formating, ignoring. any help?? i cant format a dvd rw
[00:43] <Cpudan80> I liked the old way better
[00:43] <balle_> Jordan_U: ahh okay then: i am installing the jockey thing now and trying to get it to find the drivers i'm looking for, and thx for the help
[00:43] <maxxist> cpudan80 i agree i liked being able to do my own xorg.conf
[00:43] <jrib> MrDowntempo: I meant to download the source *of the package* (as described in the link ubottu gave you)
[00:43] <Cpudan80> well you can write custom FDIs
[00:44] <DarK_L0rD> any help with compiz fusion after an upgrade to 8.10. The graphics card is ATI Radeon X1200 series...
[00:44] <Freeaqingme> I'm trying to upgrade my system, but I keep getting this error: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.. << I find a lot of people with this problem, but none with any useful answer. What could I do to solve this problem?

[00:45] <ardchoille> Freeaqingme: there's no longer a tool for it for those of us who don't know the proper syntax?
[00:46] <Freeaqingme> ardchoille: I dunno. You could just search for them? (either at google, or using apt-get)

[00:47] <neil_d> jhouse_: you just use snaptic to install the required packages.
[00:47] <christo_m> esac: do you actually help it all or just tell the bot to message people about stuff?
[00:47] <Cpudan80> jhouse_: follow the HH instructions
[00:47] <christo_m> s/it/all
[00:47] <Cpudan80> jhouse_: Virtualization is also easy, I use Vmware
[00:47] <IndyGunFreak> uman3: sys/pref/sessions.. and look at Startup programs, and see if "Network Manager APplet" has a check next to it(if its there at all)

[00:57] <maxxist> metbsd   thanx.  but i dont find thunderbird all that tight...
[00:57] <eitreach> boumo: pardon.. I mistook you for someone else.
[00:57] <ardchoille> bouma: you don't need sudo for "apt-cache search"
[00:58] <christo_m> icqnumber: libflashsupport doesnt exist

[01:01] <lucas> how can i find out whats the /dev/ direction for my dvd?
[01:01] <brandan_> does anyone know a disk defragger for ubuntu ? is there one in synaptic?
[01:01] <christo_m> brandan_: lol you dont need to defrag the ext filesystem usually lol
[01:01] <Martinp23> lucas: cat /etc/mtab   will show how everything is mounted, may help.
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> !defrag | brandan_
[01:01] <lucas> Martinp23, its not mounter
[01:01] <lucas> Martinp23, its not mounted

[01:02] <remu> running*
[01:02] <brandan_> oh so u dont really gotta worry about it?
[01:02] <Gnea> christo_m: well, last.fm works just fine, and it's running flash 10
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> brandan_: pretty much..
[01:02] <christo_m> Gnea: :|
[01:03] <brandan_> cool, i didn't know that
[01:03] <remu> I am running Ubuntu 8.10, I can see my headset in my devices. However, I am unable to get it connected and functioning properly. Can someone please help me out with that?
[01:03] <IndyGunFreak> brandan_: if you're dualbooting, it might be necessary to defrag windows... bu Ubuntu/Linux should be fine
[01:03] <lucas> how can i find out whats the /dev/ direction for my dvd?
[01:03] <tensei> real quick question, is 8.10 still considered hardy heron?
[01:03] <brandan_> Would defragging my windows make ubuntu any faster?
[01:03] <brandan_> yea i have dual boot
[01:03] <csilk> brandan_, no
[01:03] <amdpox> tensei, 8.10 is "Intrepid Ibex"
[01:04] <csilk> brandan_, the windows defrag will only touch the disk within the realms of the windows installation
[01:04] <brandan_> ooh okay
[01:04] <timreichhart> can somebody tell me how can I get 2 different servers onto one ip address
[01:04] <csilk> brandan_, generally ubuntu doesn't need to be defragged thanks to the etx file syste,
[01:04] <csilk> *ext
[01:04] <tensei> amdpox, i'm thinking of upgrading, will i be able to use AWN packages made for hardy ?
[01:04] <Gnea> christo_m: i just upgraded from hardy - youtube is coming through just fine
[01:04] <uman3> Hi there. I just updated to 8.10 using the alternate cd and in my main user account the network manager doesnt open up on startup and doesnt open when i ALT+F2 nm-applet... on another user (limited) i have the network manager does open at startup.

[01:05] <timreichhart> can somebody tell me how can I get 2 different servers onto one ip address
[01:05] <christo_m> Gnea: how do i check if my soundcard is detected properly
[01:05] <Gnea> christo_m: did you upgrade or install from the get-go?
[01:05] <christo_m> i did both
[01:05] <tensei> ardchoille: yes but there are extra's packages...
[01:05] <christo_m> iddnt work in either case
[01:05] <Gnea> christo_m: cat /proc/asound/cards
[01:05] <jordo2323> Ever since I upgraded to Ibex when I start firefox it maximizes over the gnome panels....anyone know how to fix this?
[01:06] <moDumass> hey all, how do i get this screenres fixed, xorg says 1440x900 is enabled (or agailable) but the screenres i can choose is not more than 650x480
[01:06] <brandan_> now, next question..maybe sound silly here, but like in windows, is there a option in ubuntu where i can make it turn off my hard drive when I leave my pc idle for so long?
[01:06] <brandan_> while the pc staying running
[01:06] <Gnea> bleh, the smartmedia card reader *STILL* isn't being detected
[01:06] <amdpox> brandan_, it should spin down the hard disk if there's no activity
[01:07] <Gnea> moDumass: is that a laptop?
[01:07] <christo_m> Gnea: hold on heres what i get from mplayer when playing stuff, (sound works btw) http://rafb.net/p/TDl7ci55.html
[01:07] <brandan_> but theres no real option to make it shut the hard disk down?
[01:07] <Jordan_U> kinections: Have you tried installing elilo to a cd?
[01:07] <Kilmore> Hi i'm trying to get Ubuntu working on my inspiron 1100 laptop but after install and restart it never fully loads up, it loads to a point the whole screen is a tanish color, and never goes any further...
[01:07] <warriorforgod> timreichhart: Are you talking about a public or private IP?
[01:07] <jordo2323> Ever since I upgraded to Ibex when I start firefox it maximizes over the gnome panels....anyone know how to fix this? Anyone else see this?  When you start firefox the top border actually goes over the top gnome panel....
[01:08] <christo_m> Gnea: permissions problem with my asound conf?
[01:08] <amdpox> brandan_, what do you mean by "shut the hard disk down"?
[01:08] <jordo2323> You can correct it by f-11 twice, but it's super annoying...
[01:08] <ironfoot_495> Hi is there anyone who could help me fix my localhost I was trying to change the index.html to work with phph and now localhost can't be foynd ?

[01:08] <Gnea> christo_m: just turn pulseaudio off :)
[01:08] <christo_m> Gnea: nooooo
[01:08] <dingupenguin> its like windows
[01:09] <christo_m> Gnea: what do yo usuggest, purging it?
[01:09] <brandan_> amdpox: in windows there is options to suspend your system after so many minutes, also to turn the screen off, and turn the hard disk off, and u can continue say "instant messaging" while your hard drive is off, but if say u open a folder with music "MP3" in it, it will turn it on to read it
[01:09] <neil_d> I have an error message saying "Error activating XKB configuration....." please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/69062/    what can I do about it ?
[01:09] <amdpox> brandan_, yes, that's spinning the drive down to save power/noise/heat
[01:09] <brandan_> amdpox: i have never heard ubuntu do that..
[01:09] <Gnea> christo_m: i just do a sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop && sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove

[01:10] <Gnea> !laptop | Kilmore
[01:11] <Kilmore> !laptop
[01:11] <christo_m> Gnea: when trying to test audio and i have alsa selected, meaning my alsa fux0red, because OSS works fine
[01:11] <Gnea> christo_m: i don't understand why it has to be so difficult. just cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp  :)
[01:11] <christo_m> Gnea: also i still get those msgs in mplayer, perhaps a logout login is necessary
[01:11] <christo_m> Gnea: that alwyas works..
[01:11] <HollywoodJumper> neil_d wher can i get the core tovid dependencies
[01:11] <christo_m> but why does the test give me an error
[01:11] <christo_m> it shouldnt
[01:11] <neil_d> Kilmore: can you log into a console using <ctrl><alt><F1 .. 6> ?
[01:11] <Gnea> christo_m: /dev/dsp is just an oss module layer to alsa - it's still using alsa :)
[01:11] <brandan_> System > Preferences > Power Management only has options to put the PC to sleep or turn screen off, nothing about the hard disk....
[01:12] <Kilmore> let me try
[01:12] <neil_d> HollywoodJumper: how are trying to install tovid ?
[01:12] <amdpox> brandan_, open a terminal and type "hdparm -I | grep Adv"
[01:12] <HollywoodJumper> ardchoille tovid says i am missing core tovid dependencies
[01:12] <Gnea> christo_m: i don't even have that command
[01:12] <christo_m> Gnea: The default mixer device is Analog Devices AD1981B(OSS Mixer)
[01:12] <HollywoodJumper> neil_d i installe managerd using the synaptiv package
[01:13] <christo_m> Gnea: its right beside the selection lol
[01:13] <erUSUL> christo_m: change that to the alsa device
[01:13] <techII> because my wireless card (atheros 5007, could be 5007) isn't supported by a released version of madwifi, i've been compiling it from svn
[01:13] <Gnea> christo_m: lol, do you have anything in /proc/asound/cards?
[01:13] <christo_m> erUSUL: i cant
[01:13] <Kilmore> neil_d : no I dont get anything when pressing that
[01:13] <christo_m> Gnea: yes
[01:13] <HollywoodJumper> neil_d synaptic package manager
[01:13] <Gnea> christo_m: then you're using alsa, not oss
[01:13] <ville__> Hello guys ! I have installed samba on two computers and I would like to share som folders ! but when I enter the folder that I have shared I cant see the content
[01:13] <christo_m> Gnea: okay thats not whta my defualt mixer says lol
[01:13] <techII> upgraded to intrepid, recompiled, it worked; some kernel update comes along, it stopped working, it compiles, but the device doesn't show up
[01:14] <Gnea> christo_m: that's because it also provides /dev/mixer, which is also OSS-emulated :P
[01:14] <neil_d> HollywoodJumper: don't know, it should automattically find them all.
[01:14] <Gnea> christo_m: it's being fooled by emulation. get it now? :)
[01:14] <christo_m> Gnea: i guess, but i bet if i log out and log in sound still wont work in firefox on youtube
[01:14] <Gnea> christo_m: you'd need to restart firefox, at the least, to get it to work right
[01:15] <ardchoille> HollywoodJumper: hmm.. sounds like a packaging error
[01:15] <jpg_ny> Hi I have a question regarding a blinking wifi leds on a dell it keeps blinking, and I'm not able to controll from the trigger in /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:[RT]X

[01:19] <jpg_ny> BillSamJohnson what is your problem ?
[01:19] <BillSamJohnson> How do i add a network connection
[01:19] <techII> BillSamJohnson, just state your questions, if someone doesn't get back to you it is probably because they cant think of an immediate answer
[01:20] <ironfoot_495> I hope someone can give me a hand with my lost localhost.
[01:20] <DarkKnight> hey...my swiftweasel hangs for somtim...and then it comes back to normal state....any idea???
[01:20] <erUSUL> ozzloy: well it seems to be rear write. i quote "... vfat (rw,nosuid ..."

[01:20] <jpg_ny> BillSamJohnson : if you want the gui
[01:20] <pd4> how do I get new backgrounds?
[01:20] <brandan_> sudo  commmand
[01:20] <brandan_> in terminal
[01:20] <brandan_> ?
[01:20] <jpg_ny> rogan: you don't want to sudo ?
[01:20] <neil_d> Kilmore: I am going by memory here, you stop it proceeding by pressing 'esc' (I think) so you can select the different options.  down at the bottom of the screen it gives a few keyboard commands to use. one of those is 'e' for edit, then whole complicated line appears, at the end of this the option 'quiet'.  remove this and hit enter to get grub to boot.
[01:20] <brandan_> rogan
[01:21] <pd4> yes
[01:21] <TheYeti> Quick question regarding a hp tx2500 tablet pc sound issue

[01:22] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: create a file save it on your desktop folder
[01:23] <gavagai> pw-toxic_, you can put an alias in your .bashrc file.
[01:23] <pw-toxic_> gavagai: where is the .bashrc file
[01:23] <gavagai> in your home
[01:23] <gigel2007> I need firewall what firewall should I get ?
[01:23] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: in your home folder
[01:23] <rogan> http://pastebin.com/m76b21d03 how do i become root?
[01:23] <pooronet> !unban pooronet
[01:23] <gavagai> alias mysn='synergy 192.168...'
[01:23] <pw-toxic_> how can i list hidden files with ls?
[01:23] <erUSUL> pw-toxic_: ls -a
[01:23] <pooronet> lol
[01:23] <ironfoot_495> I had just downloaded apache2 and needed to alter the httpd.conf file but there was not a httpd.conf file so I searched and for the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file and changed the configuration values to suit my computer and now I get a error message stating the the localhost can't be found!!!
[01:23] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: ls -a
[01:23] <pw-toxic_> thx
[01:24] <gavagai> you're welcome
[01:24] <christo_m> Gnea: lol,
[01:24]  * jpg_ny . o O (damm I'm not that fast)

[01:24] <BillSamJohnson> ok, under the wired tab, there are three things, Auto eth1, eth1, and eth0  then across from each, it says never
[01:25] <Kilmore> Neil_d: ok i did that grub booted, said starting up... then screen went blank and i'm kinda hung there right now but computer is still thinking
[01:25] <ironfoot_495> csilk: I changed the configurartion back the way it was but I still don't get the localhost to work?
[01:25] <bouma> help i need help with a bug
[01:25] <rogan> http://pastebin.com/m76b21d03 how do i install this damn file
[01:25] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: you don't really need to get one
[01:25] <bouma> since upgrading to ibex when i open the folder "desktop" it runs a mediaplayer .. i uninstalled vlc and now it runs audacious
[01:25] <gigel2007> jpg_ny: really? what if someone is using cain and abel ?
[01:25] <TheYeti> Any one with sound driver info for 8.10 on a tx2500 let me know
[01:25] <bouma> i need to browse my desktop
[01:25] <AnonymousOne> Whenever I load Ubuntu, I get the following error: http://pastie.org/309970
[01:26] <tovella> rogan: use 'sudo' before the command.
[01:26] <bouma> when i click the button
[01:26] <christo_m> gigel2007: firestarter
[01:26] <BillSamJohnson> which makes sence, because i order 5 IPs, one is the server, one for KVM-IP, and that leaves the three isee
[01:26] <neil_d> Kilmore: does the computer boot fine from the CD ?
[01:26] <bouma> where is this configured and how do i change it
[01:26] <Gnea> christo_m: i have no idea at this point - probably just blacklist the bluetooth networking module
[01:26] <Gnea> jpg_ny: hrmmmm
[01:26] <Kilmore> Neil_d: screen booted to the tan screen with coursor again, then passed that went black with a coursor that looks like a ball with little dots on it and stopped there
[01:26] <christo_m> Gnea: lol, i mean for the sound
[01:26] <gigel2007> christo_m: what about ufw
[01:26] <tovella> rogan: eg. sudo apt-get install hddtemp lmsensors
[01:26] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: you can use the iptable it comes with your linux
[01:26] <christo_m> gigel2007: lol, if you already know of one, why are you asking me
[01:26] <rogan> ty
[01:26] <christo_m> gigel2007: i think at least one of them is a frontend for iptables anyway
[01:26] <christo_m> gigel2007: maybe both
[01:26] <Kolie> I used module-assistant to try and fix my sound by updating alsa. On reboot /sbin/modprobe is abnormally terminating and the boot process appears to stop. How can I disable whatever I did, or take alsa out of the modprobe list?
[01:27] <BillSamJohnson> so first, i would like to know what does the never mean?
[01:27] <Kilmore> neil_d: it did before i did install
[01:27] <gigel2007> christo_m: because I wanted to know others, so do you know if firestarter is better than ufw ?
[01:27] <christo_m> gigel2007: what are you trying to do, linux is secure enough
[01:27] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: ufw is the uncomplicated firewall
[01:27] <gigel2007> christo_m: to get them do you just type sudo apt-get install firestarter/ufw ?
[01:27] <ironfoot_495> csilk: are you there?
[01:27] <neil_d> Kilmore: good. does the <ctrl><att><F1> show anything ?
[01:27] <christo_m> gigel2007: close unnecessary services, you're good to go, and yes
[01:27] <christo_m> Gnea: any idea for the sound, by my dmesg btw?
[01:27] <Gnea> christo_m: try launching firefox from the commandline and see what error it gives, if any, when you go to youtube
[01:27] <AnonymousOne> Hello,  could someone look at http://pastie.org/309970
[01:28] <Kilmore> ctrk att? or ctrl Alt
[01:28] <christo_m> Gnea: ah ok
[01:28] <Kilmore> CTRL*
[01:28] <AnonymousOne> I get this error whenever I start to boot Ubuntu, I can't even drop into root terminal
[01:28] <gigel2007> christo_m: if someone in my network has cain and abel he can get my passwords and sites if you don't have a firewall
[01:28] <DarkKnight> hey...my swiftweasel hangs for somtim...and then it comes back to normal state....any idea???
[01:28] <ironfoot_495> can someone help to fix a broken localhost.
[01:28] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: well in case you use samba you mean ?
[01:28] <christo_m> Gnea: is there a way to start it in a more verbose mode
[01:28] <dynstatic> Ive got my system to auto login, everytime it sees my home wifi, it asks for the keychain password. How can I set it  not to ask?
[01:28] <MTecknology> This is getting annoying... I still can't figure out how to set colors in the .bashrc file - anybody know how?
[01:28] <christo_m> gigel2007: you're dumb, sorry
[01:28] <Gnea> christo_m: firefox --help
[01:28] <gigel2007> christo_m: huh ?
[01:29] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: or sniffing the network you mean then your host is not the problem
[01:29] <Gnea> christo_m: dude.... uncalled for
[01:29] <christo_m> gigel2007: crack hashed passes for UNIX with cain and abel?
[01:29] <gigel2007> christo_m: it's not possible ?
[01:29] <BillSamJohnson> does anyone know what that means?
[01:29] <christo_m> gigel2007: they can use jack the ripper, it doesnt matter, if someone wnated to crack your system, a firewall probably wouldn't stop them
[01:29] <csilk> ironfoot_495, yeah
[01:29] <DarkKnight> hey...my swiftweasel hangs for somtim...and then it comes back to normal state....any idea???
[01:29] <arrrghhh> i can't find my new drive with ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -alh... i partitioned it with cfdisk, and they don't show up.
[01:30] <Gnea> !guidelines | christo_m
[01:30] <christo_m> gigel2007: anyone that serious won tbe coming after you though, just script kiddies, which will be dumbfounded to see you use a unix system
[01:30] <Gnea> christo_m: please, read that. now.
[01:30] <DarkKnight> hey...my swiftweasel hangs for sometime...and then it comes back to normal state....any idea???
[01:30] <gigel2007> christo_m: so cain and abel doesn't work if the client has linux running eh ?
[01:30] <dynstatic> Ive got my system to auto login, everytime it sees my home wifi, it asks for the keychain password. How can I set it  not to ask?
[01:30] <neil_d> Kilmore: good. does the <ctrl><att><F1> all at the same time.
[01:30] <christo_m> gigel2007: i dont remember cain and abel being to crack anything but windows passes, but i may be wrong
[01:30] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: correct, cain and abel are usefull to crack windows password
[01:31] <christo_m> Gnea: negative my friend, trying to fix my sound
[01:31] <TiMiDo> hey guys.
[01:31] <Kilmore> neil_d
[01:31] <Kilmore> i restarted again
[01:31] <gigel2007> christo_m: jpg_ny: ok, Thanks guys ! But can you recommend which firewall is better, your opinio of course , ufw or firestarter?
[01:31] <arrrghhh> dynstatic, i think you can set the keyring to always authenticate you.  very insecure.
[01:31] <Kilmore> and ctrl alt f1 before it locked up
[01:31]  * jpg_ny . o O (and me trying to fix a constant blinking wifi led)
[01:31] <Gnea> christo_m: you can read it while trying to debug firefox.
[01:31] <Kilmore> I got the console
[01:31] <neil_d> Kilmore: try <ctrl><att><F1> all at the same time. does it show anything ?
[01:31] <christo_m> Gnea: the debugger is weird lol
[01:31] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: it is not firewall but management interface
[01:32] <Kilmore> neil i did get to the login
[01:32] <Kilmore> the black login
[01:32] <Kilmore> i had to do it before the tan screen switched to the black screen with coursor
[01:32] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: play with ufw there are some nice guide outhere
[01:32] <Kilmore> but i am there now
[01:32] <Gnea> jpg_ny: are you even connected to an access point?
[01:32] <gigel2007> jpg_ny: oh ok thanks and thank you guys !
[01:32] <Socapex_2K> hello. I am having trouble with my soundcard. I cannot hear sound in any audio apps! Could somebody help me please. I use an external usb sound card, an edirol ua-5. If I go to preferences>sound and I select my usb card and hit play, it works!
[01:32] <jpg_ny> Gnea: oh yes working perfectly but keeps blinking like ... an ethernet card
[01:33] <BillSamJohnson> well how do i determin my MAC address?
[01:33] <techII> firestarter has a gui iirc... though i've seen a gui that manipulates ufw somewhere...
[01:33] <dynstatic> arrrghhh: i have nothing onn this laptop, it's just a eee pc toy to learn on. know how to set it to always? I looked in keychain and passwords
[01:33] <pw-toxic_> jpg_ny: do i have to reload my bash file or something like this?
[01:33] <Gnea> Socapex_2K: could be pulseaudio getting in the way - you should be able to choose alsa instead of default/pulse from that same preferences->sound
[01:33] <Socapex_2K> I've tried preferences of progs (exaile, gnome mplayer, rythmbox) but nothing is working
[01:33] <Gnea> jpg_ny: does it stay blinking the same like that even when it's disconnected?
[01:33] <Socapex_2K> Gnea: I'll try right now
[01:34] <DarkKnight> hey...my swiftweasel hangs for sometime...and then it comes back to normal state....any idea how 2 rectify???
[01:34] <arrrghhh> dynstatic, if it's not there i don't know where it would be.  should be in the keyring or authentication settings.
[01:34] <jpg_ny> Gnea: nope if I down it it stops
[01:34] <saben> how do I check to see what version of kde i am running
[01:34] <arrrghhh> DarkKnight, use firefox3.
[01:34] <myk_robinson> is this forum also for 8.10?
[01:34] <neil_d> Kilmore: ok, log in, and try the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:34] <bouma> can anyone help me get this ????? http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?image=appsinkonquerorpf1.png

[01:35] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: I love synergy !!!!
[01:35] <pw-toxic_> jpg_ny:  how do you use it?   desktop - laptop?
[01:35] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: I use it with Open solaris a Windows 200 a windows XP and a Linux

[01:36] <myk_robinson> i am having trouble with Cheese in Ubuntu 8.10, wondering if others are. My camera just shuts off at random. It works fine with Skype, so I can only assume that Cheese is the issue and not my hardware
[01:36] <myk_robinson> any others having problems with Cheese?
[01:36] <pw-toxic_> jpg_ny: 4 deksops pcs or 4 monitors?
[01:36] <arrrghhh> DarkKnight, why wouldn't you.  firefox can play videos w/o any addons.
[01:36] <Socapex_2K> Anybody can help with a usb soundcard issue
[01:36] <Socapex_2K> ?
[01:36] <No-Neck> bouma, right click on a folder and go to Properties and then Open With and make sure it's not set to open with you media player :)

[01:36] <DarkKnight> arrrghhh, kk..thanq friend
[01:36] <arrrghhh> christo_m, that's a bold statement.
[01:36] <gigel2007> You don't need an ANTIVIRUS for ubuntu(linux) right ?
[01:36] <linnoob007> every time I try to install something after installing updates earlier today I get an error relating to system-tools-backends How do I fix it?
[01:37] <arrrghhh> gigel2007, correct

[01:37] <Socapex_2K> gigel2007: no, not at all
[01:37] <timreichhart> can somebody help me how make my 56k modem work on my server
[01:37] <Jordan_U> christo_m: What happens when you try to play a video?
[01:37] <gigel2007> BEST OS EVER !!
[01:37] <No-Neck> normally, no gigel2007
[01:37] <christo_m> Jordan_U: it works..., lol
[01:37] <steven_> #python
[01:37] <inktri> it's friday night. time to get drunk and have sex with unconscious girls
[01:37] <No-Neck> it's not just Ubuntu gigel2007
[01:37] <christo_m> Jordan_U: okay ill reprhase, sound works, its nice, but flash sound does not work at all
[01:37] <gigel2007> No-Neck: Linux
[01:37] <Ademan> if I run      grep swap /etc/mtab    doesn't that mean that I don't have a swap partition mounted?
[01:37] <christo_m> flash video works
[01:38] <christo_m> inktri: thats called rape
[01:38] <arrrghhh> gigel2007, unless you're using a fileserver or mailserver that windows clients connect to.
[01:38] <No-Neck> yes gigel2007, but you can still get viruses, just the likelihood is ridiculous compared to that of windows :D
[01:38] <neil_d> Kilmore: when replying use the nick of the person to its more visible.  nearly missed that one.  So it doesn't like the name/password you gave it during setup ?
[01:39] <Socapex_2K> I thought the days of linux not playing audio were gone!
[01:39] <gigel2007> HOW can I see more than 8 connections when I click on the system tray for wireless? (I have 13 around me with 200 PWR - checked with airodump)
[01:39] <Ademan> ergh, i mean if i run grep swap /etc/mtab *and there's no output* does that mean i have no swap partition mounted?
[01:39] <Jordan_U> christo_m: So the totem video plugin works but you still want sound in flash, or does totem's youtube plugin not work for you?
[01:39] <what_if> I cannot seem to get tor "hidden services" working. Errors with "could not be resolved" other pages work fine...
[01:39] <remu> Can someone help me set up my bluetooth headset on intrepid?
[01:39] <Gnea> christo_m: what version of flash is on there?
[01:39] <christo_m> Jordan_U: they both share the same symptoms, video plays perfect, no sound however
[01:39] <admin_masu3701> how can i install flash?
[01:39] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30652347@N08/2865154451/

[01:39] <admin_masu3701> youtube dont work
[01:39] <christo_m> Gnea: how do i check
[01:40] <No-Neck> apt-get install flashplugin-non-free
[01:40] <Jordan_U> christo_m: Are there any apps that play sound?
[01:40] <jpastore> firefox keeps stalling on me after the upgrade...what can I check to figure out why?
[01:40] <No-Neck> apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ? O.o
[01:40] <christo_m> Jordan_U: yes, and they all work
[01:40] <christo_m> Jordan_U: local vids and mp3s work
[01:40] <pw-toxic_> jpg_ny: *need*
[01:40] <gigel2007> HOW can I see more than 8 connections when I click on the system tray for wireless? (I have 13 around me with 200 PWR - checked with airodump)
[01:40] <No-Neck> admin_masu3701, did you get that?
[01:40] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: it's pretty cool
[01:41] <Jordan_U> christo_m: So local vids play in totem with sound but not vids from totem's youtube plugin?
[01:41] <christo_m> Jordan_U: yes.
[01:41] <Kilmore> Neil_d : no iet's not liking it and when entering the username / password it fell behind i would type in my username press enter then type password press enter and it would finally type them in like 6 lines later
[01:41] <deadvirus> hello, openoffice 3 on Hardy? When?
[01:41] <HollywoodJumper> does any one here know how to use tovid?
[01:41] <Jordan_U> christo_m: That's odd

[01:42] <No-Neck> restart firefox/X/your PC admin_masu3701 ?
[01:42] <gigel2007> No-Neck: oh ok, I could just use the bssid from airodump to connect manually, but it's weird why clicking on the icon doesn't show them all, airodump says they are not hidden
[01:42] <dynstatic> what is the difference between add/remove programs and synaptic package manager?

[01:43] <admin_masu3701> NO-neck: wont work
[01:43] <No-Neck> no, I don't think so, you'll have to google it and find the repositories to add gigel2007

[01:44] <christo_m> Gnea: to check the flash version
[01:44] <dynstatic> No-Neck: basically they show the same sources in a difference interface?
[01:44] <No-Neck> admin_masu3701, do you get sound in other applications?
[01:44] <Gnea> christo_m: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep flashplugin | awk '{print $3}'
[01:44] <marcosroriz> I have a NVidia GeForce 8700M GT 512MB =D in my notebook and have the proprietary drivers set up correctly. The thing is that, I heard that when using compiz the graphic processing goes primarly to the vga, so for me the best overall perfomance it's go with no effects or compiz?
[01:44] <admin_masu3701> no-neck: yes
[01:44] <Jordan_U> What happens if you go into /tmp and try to play one of the files that starts with "Flash" while a youtube video page is open in the browser?
[01:44] <pw-toxic_> jpg_ny: i use this because i love using it ;)
[01:44] <pw-toxic_> jpg_ny: but you use multiple desktops?
[01:44] <jpastore> firefox keeps stalling on me after the upgrade to 8.10...what can I check to figure out why?
[01:44] <gigel2007> No-Neck: you said I could still get viruses, do you know any better antiviruses than ClamAV or is ClamAV good enough ?
[01:45] <Socapex_2K> please. Is anybody here audio-versed. Can anybody point me to also conf files. I will try to solve my problem by myself, but I would need basic guide lines.
[01:45] <mulch> Question: Did 8.10 include support for video card rendering of HD video?
[01:45] <christo_m> Gnea: wow thats weird <IP_ADDRESS>-1hardy1
[01:45] <Socapex_2K> also=alsa
[01:45] <No-Neck> dynstatic, yes essentially, synaptic shows a lot more packages though, some stuff a complete newbie wouldn't be installing anyway, I always prefer apt-get anyway
[01:45] <Gnea> jpg_ny: well, there was a known problem with the D620, among many other laptops, where the wifi LED wouldn't even turn on - they just recently fixed it, at least, mostly heh
[01:45] <jpg_ny> pw-toxic_: yeah it is addictive, on another Laptop yes Laptop screen plus external monitor on VGA port

[01:47] <gigel2007> What is the command to update a program? sudo apt-get update programname ?
[01:47] <No-Neck> I do not know what you problem is admin_masu3701, I would search google for something like 'ubuntu no sound flash'

[01:47] <Kilmore> but after trying again and again and again it eventually magically pops up my username / password

[01:49] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: update will update all your programs
[01:49] <pw-toxic_> asus xonar
[01:49] <karsten> admin_masu3701: you might want to check the file descriptors that flash is looking at.  Track it down that way.  Any error output?

[01:49] <thiebaude> yuretsz_note:hope that worked
[01:49] <MTecknology> if I call rxvt using -bg black it works. I want to figure out how to put that into .bashrc so I don't need to pass that line to it every time... anybody know?
[01:50] <neil_d> Kilmore: I got no idea what is going on.  maybe you should try a reinstall.  never had it refuse to accept a login.
[01:50] <Yuretsz_note> thiebaude: Great! Thanks
[01:50] <gigel2007> Cpudan80: what if you have a program installed, and you download the .tar with the new version, if you make install, linux will know how to update it automatically or will it keep both versions ?
[01:50] <thiebaude> your welcomed
[01:50] <jpinx> anyone know of a package like skype, but I just need it for text messages
[01:50] <Kilmore> neil_d : lol ok, i'll mess with it tonight thanks for trying
[01:50] <OpenVirus> nice No-Neck do you know if it encodes it to work on xbox 360
[01:50] <jpg_ny> jpinx: text message on what cell phone ?
[01:50] <red_> what package is the "at" command in ...
[01:50] <christo_m> Gnea: sound still doesnt work tho :(
[01:50] <red_> It's not there on an ubuntu server that I'm using
[01:51] <neil_d> Kilmore: np
[01:51] <Jordan_U> christo_m: What happens if you go into /tmp and try to play one of the files that starts with "Flash" while a youtube video page is open in the browser?
[01:51] <LjL> red_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ will tell you
[01:51] <gigel2007> jpg_ny: what if you have a program installed, and you download the .tar with the new version, if you make install, linux will know how to update it automatically or will it keep both versions ?
[01:51] <neil_d> I have an error message saying "Error activating XKB configuration....." please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/69062/    what can I do about it ?
[01:51] <No-Neck> OpenVirus, it will encode most video files such as xvid to standard DVD format, I suppose this would be totally supported by an Xbox but I don't have one so I don't know, perhaps it even has more advancec format support? o.O
[01:51] <Doppis> anyone get hotmail to work with evolution?
[01:51] <LjL> red_: anyway, "at"
[01:52] <Serway>  hey guys, mediatomb is not being detected by my ps3, can someone help me out?
[01:52] <dynstatic> what is the best way to install skype? is in it apt-get? or should ii download it from skype.com
[01:52] <Doppis> I have tried about everything...
[01:52] <jpinx> jpg_ny: any cell phone
[01:52] <jpinx> I expect to pay
[01:52] <Gnea> christo_m: and you're *sure* it's not using pulse?
[01:52] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: depends on how you install most likely will install a different version, the idea is to use a packagemanager to manage the package
[01:52] <h00k> Doppis: try this:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200408
[01:52] <christo_m> Jordan_U: nothing, no sound in both totem and firefox
[01:52] <OpenVirus> No-Neck,  ok thanks :)
[01:52] <christo_m> Gnea: how do i make sure
[01:52] <bamball> is there skype package in the repo
[01:52] <admin_masu3701> isnt just youtube that is not workin?
[01:52] <christo_m> Gnea: im gonna restart X, one sec
[01:52] <Cpudan80> gigel2007: really depends on the program
[01:53] <admin_masu3701> cause the page freeze when i try to play videos
[01:53] <Cpudan80> gigel2007: It is probably best to remove the package and then install the source
[01:53] <jpg_ny> jpinx:http://tuxmobil.org/phones_linux_sms.html
[01:53] <dynstatic> bamball: i dont see one in add/remove programs with all apps selected
[01:53] <LjL> jpinx: i believe Ekiga supports SMS
[01:53] <gigel2007> Cpudan80: so uninstall the old one first and then make install the new one right ?
[01:53] <No-Neck> apt-get install skype o.O
[01:53] <Doppis> hook: I have read all through that thread and still no luck :(
[01:53] <Jordan_U> christo_m: Try running "asoundconf set-pulseaudio" and see if sounds play then ( you may need to stop any programs playing sound for it to start working )
[01:53] <Cpudan80> gigel2007: yes
[01:54] <jpinx> LjL thanks

[01:54] <dynstatic> No-Neck: dont i need a sudo in there? :P
[01:54] <gigel2007> Cpudan80: Uninstalling and installing and repeated commands like these is not messy like in Windows leaving files behind is it ? Does Linux know how to delete everything automatically?
[01:54] <No-Neck> yes
[01:54] <karsten> !wireless | bamball
[01:55] <karsten> bamball: Suggest you go through the standard steps, report back with specific issues.
[01:55] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: yes if you use a package manager
[01:55] <No-Neck> unless you are root dynstatic  :)
[01:55] <bamball> okies
[01:55] <icqnumber> people, what packages do i miss? http://paste.ubuntu.com/69072/
[01:55] <Cpudan80> gigel2007: when you remove a package it will remove all the files (except your configuration files)
[01:55] <bamball> thankx
[01:55] <Cpudan80> gigel2007: be advised that if you install it from the source, there is no easy way to remove it later
[01:55] <dynstatic> No-Neck: arnt we all?
[01:55] <Jordan_U> karsten: What happens when you try to change the brightness?
[01:55] <Michael___> hi i was wondering if there is a base package for ubuntu in the new ibex desktop install?
[01:55] <gigel2007> jpg_ny: do you have more documentation on how to use a package manager ?
[01:55] <No-Neck> lol
[01:56] <karsten> Jordan_U: Nothing.
[01:56] <Cpudan80> gigel2007: to remove even your config files -- mark the package for complete removal in synaptic
[01:56] <dynstatic> No-Neck: skype was not found in apt-get
[01:56] <Gnea> jpg_ny: just to make sure - you're using 8.10, not 8.04.1?
[01:56] <karsten> Jordan_U: I can echo brightness values into a /proc entry ...
[01:56] <Cpudan80> Michael___: ubuntu-desktop
[01:56] <h00k> dynstatic: yyou have to make sure the multiverse repository is enabled
[01:56] <jpg_ny> gigel2007: it lengthy :http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/
[01:56] <karsten> Jordan_U: /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness
[01:56] <No-Neck> dynstatic, do you have non-free in your apt/sources.list? Skype is even in the Debian repositories
[01:56] <MTecknology> hrm... maybe ##linux can help

[01:57] <Jordan_U> karsten: Have you tried the brightness applet or just function keys?
[01:57] <timreichhart> can somebody help me how make my 56k modem work on my server
[01:57] <karsten> Jordan_U: And there are some config files under /etc (need to track them down again) which don't seem to have the right values.
[01:57] <karsten> Jordan_U: Windowmaker. No brightness applet.  Haven't tried it.
[01:57] <valdir> exit
[01:57] <karsten> Jordan_U: Keyboard controls decidedly don't work.
[01:57] <bamball> do operators in this chn get paid?
[01:57] <christo_m> Gnea: didnt work
[01:57] <karsten> bamball: No.
[01:57] <Michael___> Cpudan80: thanks, i was wondering if there was even more basic one than that, perhaps not installing all the apps

[01:59] <karsten> HollywoodJumper: What do you want to do?  Why can't you do it?  What problems are you having?
[01:59] <Jordan_U> karsten: AFAIK that would be the job of the Desktop Environment to control. Try asking in #windowmaker / looking at windowmaker docs
[01:59] <gigel2007> HollywoodJumper: your question was very broad
[01:59] <HollywoodJumper> karsten ok
[01:59] <No-Neck> dynstatic, then make sure to save the settings and then in the terminal 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get install skype' - however this may not be enough skype may need it's own repository to be added

[02:01] <icqnumber> people, what packages do i miss? http://paste.ubuntu.com/69072/
[02:01] <No-Neck> dynstatic, in which case you need to add a specific skype repository to /etc/apt/sources.list - google 'skype ubuntu'
[02:02] <karsten> HollywoodJumper: I _don't_ use tovid (and I don't know what it is), but you might get more mileage asking the channel.  THose are good questions.
[02:02] <dynstatic> No-Neck: sure it's not skype-non-free?
[02:02] <karsten> HollywoodJumper: I've had good luck with k3b, however.
[02:02] <No-Neck> where did you get that from dynstatic ?
[02:02] <jpg_ny> Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69074/
[02:02] <HollywoodJumper> karsten is k3b a video burning program?
[02:02] <tvon> What's the cli program used to udpate init.d/runlevel scripts? I can never remember it...
[02:02] <karsten> HollywoodJumper: CD/DVD burning, yes.
[02:02] <tvon> update-defaults or something...

[02:03] <MExTux> What is the difference between file_open_mode and local_umask in the vsftpd.conf file (VSFTPD) ??
[02:03] <Sorcererbob1> tvon: chkconfig ?
[02:03] <No-Neck> hello pawan
[02:03] <dynstatic> No-Neck: i learned it from watching you?  (i  made it up)
[02:03] <HollywoodJumper> karsten can i burn avi files with it?
[02:03] <tensei> when installing manually, your mount point is   /     correct?
[02:03] <karsten> HollywoodJumper: Ah.  You want a DVD authoring tool.  That's a little different.  Not sure.
[02:03] <Sorcererbob1> oh scripts. Ignore me.
[02:03] <HollywoodJumper> !wxpython
[02:03] <tvon> close...
[02:03] <No-Neck> lol dynstatic, in which case no, you will need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list with a custom repository
[02:03] <tvon> this is going to drive me nuts
[02:04] <dynstatic> No-Neck: it doesnt work i just tried it
[02:04] <HollywoodJumper> does anyone know why tovid would require the latest version of wxpython and wha is wxpython
[02:04] <No-Neck> dynstatic, search google for 'skype ubuntu' you will find a software source to put into the file I just mentioed
[02:04] <Picklesworth> Sorry, my system is a bit of ticking time bomb so I'll jump straight in to what is wrong... some weird meta-problem caused my system logs to consume +4 GB of hard drive space (thankfully /home is a different partition from everything else). I have absolutely 0 bytes of free space on root, which of course is a big problem.  In desperation, I deleted /var/log to free it up, but only 200 MB was freed... and that 200 MB got eaten up a
[02:04] <Picklesworth> gain in seconds!
[02:04] <tvon> update-rc.d!
[02:05] <jpg_ny> Gnea: forget it I will try to play with trigger and the echo or something when the wlan0 goes up
[02:05] <dynstatic> No-Neck: no doubt, thanks
[02:05] <Picklesworth> There is nothing that I can find in /var/log except for a tiny ConsoleKit history log. Any guess what else could be eating all my space?
[02:05] <thiebaude> http://wxpython.org/ :hollywoodjumper
[02:05] <Picklesworth> (Or where else the logs are?)
[02:05] <pawan> how to upgrade from terminal

[02:05] <pawan> cant load Gui
[02:06] <MExTux> Does anybody know what is the difference between file_open_mode and local_umask in the VSFTPD configuration file (vsftpd.conf) ??
[02:06] <Picklesworth> On the bright side, Linux is running impressively well considering it has no free space

[02:06] <icqnumber> people, what packages do i miss? http://paste.ubuntu.com/69072/, i have ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs installed
[02:06] <thiebaude> yw
[02:06] <tvon> Sorcererbob1: I think chkconfig is what RH & co use, btw
[02:07] <ohdamnallnics> so does LG3D work on ubuntu intrepid?
[02:07] <Meshach> Hello, I have a Atheros Wireless network card in an Acer Aspire 5520 laptop and I can't get wireless networking working.
[02:07] <Gnea> jpg_ny: erm, you're using 2.6.27, not 2.6.24, right? cat /proc/version
[02:07] <jpg_ny> Gnea: correct
[02:08] <Gnea> jpg_ny: okay - had to ask since it got cut off
[02:08] <ohdamnallnics> can i please get help installing looking glass?
[02:08] <Meshach> I set everything up by going to the network manager under the wireless networking tab and then when I click Ok it does nothing.
[02:08] <jpg_ny> Gnea: I'm a script dude not use to configure my term for 100000 lines :-)
[02:08] <esac> i built a custom kernel on intrepid, and now my keyboard and mouse do not work in X. they work in console. any ideas ?
[02:09] <tvon> esac: maybe you left out some HID goodies?
[02:09] <ohdamnallnics> i try to install via terimnal and deb files, both give me an installation error saying it failed
[02:09] <esac> tvon, i check those, but let me check again
[02:09] <icqnumber> people, what packages do i miss? http://paste.ubuntu.com/69072/, i have ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs installed
[02:09] <tvon> esac: I'd suggest doing 'make oldconfig' (or whatever the 'configure this kernel source like the running kernel' command is
[02:09] <tvon> )
[02:09] <ronnie> is somebody know how can i check my hardware on ubuntu 8.04
[02:09] <pawan> how to upgrade to 8.10 from terminal
[02:09] <esac> tvon, but then id lose all of my changes :(
[02:09] <jpg_ny> ronnie: lscpi
[02:09] <bamball> ronnie: lshw
[02:09] <esac> tvon, i did do that before i made changes tho
[02:09] <Meshach> Nevermind it's pretty hectic here I will post in forums.
[02:09] <tvon> esac: yeah...  ah
[02:09] <Gnea> jpg_ny: lol, thought you were a human! ;) the pastebinit command (same name as the package) could probably get it all up there, just for future reference. :)
[02:10] <tvon> esac: honestly I haven't built a kernel in a few years so I'm not the best source of advice anyway
[02:10] <jpg_ny> Gnea: ahhhh
[02:10] <punto> hi.. is ubuntu experimental more or less unstable than debian experimental?
[02:10] <esac> less!
[02:10] <esac> or possibly more
[02:10] <tvon> punto: I'd guess it's more stable than debian experimental
[02:10] <thiebaude> icqnumber:it says yourr missing an gstreamer plugin
[02:10] <jpg_ny> punto: here it will be less
[02:11]  * tvon shrugs
[02:11] <esac> tvon, but really it is just that .. a guess. it all depends on your system
[02:11] <Gnea> jpg_ny: wondering if there's a newer firmware that takes care of that...
[02:11] <ronnie> jpg_ny,bamball i had tried that but i need ram information and it didnt have such information
[02:11] <punto> tvon: so it's like debian unstable or testing?
[02:11] <jpg_ny> Gnea: good idea, I will try this way
[02:11] <tvon> esac: yeah, but deb exp isn't really aiming to be stable, ubuntu is
[02:11] <jpg_ny> ronnie: top ?
[02:11] <icqnumber> thiebaude, and which one?
[02:12] <thiebaude> icqnumber:gstreamer 0.10
[02:12] <xiamx> gnome doesn't mount automaticly usb flash , any solution?
[02:12] <thiebaude> see if synaptic has it
[02:12] <ronnie> jpg_ny: not volume of ram, i wonder it is ddr or ddr2
[02:12] <jpg_ny> ronnie: ahh no sorry te model of your ram use dmesg
[02:12] <ronnie> jpg_ny: ok thanks
[02:12] <tvon> punto: you can try both I guess... I'd vote for ubuntu though, experimental is more likely to break due to package updates
[02:12] <rhavenw> hi, can I use the usb creator in 8.10 on a usb external harddrive?
[02:13] <neil_d> HollywoodJumper: didn't notice the message. are you still interested in what is wrong
[02:13] <rabe> HIBERNATION PROBLEM is the hibernation and suspend problem a general thing with every notebook or is it possible to solve this?
[02:13] <HollywoodJumper> neil_d yes i am still trying to figure out how to burn my avi files to dvdr
[02:13] <xiamx> question, does linux free useless file form swap automaticly?
[02:14] <thiebaude> !swap|xiamx
[02:14] <icqnumber> thiebaude, what package do you mean, i have many gstreams packages installed
[02:14] <neil_d> HollywoodJumper: when you ran the 'apt-get' did you prefix it with sudo ?
[02:14] <thiebaude> let me check,icqnumber
[02:15] <HollywoodJumper> the only way i can do stuff in terminal is with sudo
[02:15] <icqnumber> thiebaude, mine packges?
[02:15] <jpg_ny> thiebaude: that not that easy anymore
[02:15] <bamball> swap space are freed just like ram i think
[02:15] <rabe> HIBERNATION PROBLEM is the hibernation and suspend problem a general thing with every notebook or is it possible to solve this?
[02:15] <thiebaude> ok,jpg_ny
[02:15] <jpg_ny> bamball: no not really
[02:16] <Chrisie> !java
[02:16]  * tvon tips his hat
[02:16] <timreichhart> can somebody help me configure Agere Systems LT WinModem on my server 8.04
[02:16]  * jpg_ny . o O (swap anyone: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/swap.html )
[02:17] <bamball> jpg: why not
[02:17] <icqnumber> thiebaude, http://paste.ubuntu.com/69076/
[02:17] <jpg_ny> bamball: because of the anonymous mapping
[02:17] <esac> what is the new support in X where you dont need an xorg.conf ? i think when i compile my new kernel, and reboot into X, it has no mouse and keyboard because there are none defined in xorg.conf. knowing this i can see if i turned off something in kernel that supports the new functionality
[02:17] <jpg_ny> bamball: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/swap.html
[02:18] <bamball> jpg: having a read.. heh
[02:18] <neil_d> HollywoodJumper: double check that there is no other package managers running apt-get, synaptic etc.
[02:19] <jpg_ny> bamball: well in two words to make the ram faster some unused memory will go into swapp
[02:19] <HollywoodJumper> neil_d ok
[02:19] <timreichhart> can somebody help me configure Agere Systems LT WinModem on my server 8.04
[02:19] <karsten> esac: There should be a minimal xorg.conf.  xorg now sorts out stuff pretty well itself, most of the time.
[02:19] <rhavenw> hi, in 8.10 can i Make a usb startup disk using a usb external harddrive?
[02:19] <jpg_ny> bamball: it is called dirty page or something
[02:19] <bamball> jpg: yeah agree..
[02:20] <pw-toxic_> i just have installed ubuntu on my raid1 using the intreprenid version.. but now if i want to open a raid1 NTFS partition in the files browser, i cant do it
[02:20] <Xer0> zOMG HAI UBUNTUz!
[02:20] <pw-toxic_> there are 2 partitions for each raid1 partition..
[02:20] <pw-toxic_> how can i use my ntfs raid1 partitions in ubuntu?
[02:20] <bamball> jpg: I think I know what swapping is for, but i dunno the low lv details
[02:20] <thiebaude> icqnumber:i cant figure it out, sry
[02:21] <cllaudyu> nautilus crashes and i'm forced to restart my computer
[02:21] <bamball> jpg: as in how the tlb handle the page.. and how the tlb can be swapped as well....

[02:22] <jpg_ny> bamball: i don't doubt, but I know that swapp on linux evolved in something different that I don't have space on my ram I will use swapp
[02:22] <Tommy> thanks
[02:23] <G_X> hey
[02:23] <rabe> HIBERNATION PROBLEM is the hibernation and suspend problem a general thing with every notebook or is it possible to solve this?
[02:23] <Guest75489> hey guys

[02:23] <jpg_ny> Guest75489: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[02:23] <bamball> jpg: i think swap is like using your harddisk as an extension to your address space
[02:24] <cllaudyu> can anyone of you all tell me how to delete locked files from trash ?
[02:24] <jpg_ny> bamball: very correct something to do with the vfs
[02:25] <cllaudyu> hmmm
[02:25] <neil_d> HollywoodJumper: how did it go.
[02:25] <jpg_ny> cllaudyu: delete your trash not ure about what is a locked file though
[02:25] <bamball> jpg: any benefit to run swap over nfs tho? say i have a p3 with 256mb ram, and a remote box with 8gb ram
[02:25] <Xpistos> I hope to god someone can help me cause I am ready tho erase everything and go to windows!!
[02:25] <G_X> CAN THE FUCKEN NEW USB CREATOR BE USED ON A FUCKEN EXTERNAL HD??????????????
[02:25] <karsten> olskolirc: amarok or rythmbox are the iTunes-like ones for Linux.
[02:25] <ironfoot_495> hello everyone I have a localhost that is down and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it? I have looked through a lot of googled stuff but nothing seems to be helping me get it back on track?
[02:25] <karsten> olskolirc: xmms still exists.
[02:25] <h00k> !language | G_X
[02:25] <jpg_ny> bamball: wow I wouldn't do that but it could probably works

[02:26] <olskolirc> im on hardy heron karsten
[02:26] <ironfoot_495> Can someone be kind enough to give some help?
[02:26] <karsten> ironfoot_495: Describe the symptoms.  "Down" how?  Does it boot?  Does it not get net?
[02:26] <karsten> ironfoot_495: ... and be patient.
[02:26] <G_X> NO ONE KNOWS????
[02:26] <cllaudyu> can i delete a file beeing root?
[02:26] <jpg_ny> cllaudyu: go in your .trash sudo rm the-name-of-the-file (there us probably a more elegant way to do it but that will works)
[02:26] <karsten> cllaudyu: sudo rm <file>
[02:27] <ironfoot_495> karsten: yes I boot up
[02:27] <Falstaf> Some of my programs don't display well -- I get small lines on the screen like it out of sync or something.
[02:27] <cllaudyu> thanks
[02:27] <Swian> anyone used 8.10 to create a USB startup disk?
[02:27] <Swian> I made one but it won't boot off it
[02:27] <G_X> NEW USB CREATOR >>  USED ON HARDDRIVE?? <<< POSSIBLE??
[02:27] <rebuilt> i created a startup disk
[02:27] <bamball> jpg: works as in performance gain?
[02:27] <rhavenw> G_x and Swain, i have the same problem
[02:27] <karsten> !repeat > G_X
[02:27] <rebuilt> you have to select boot from usb disk in the bios
[02:27] <ironfoot_495> but it comes back with -> requested URL / was not found on this server.
[02:27] <rhavenw> i did
[02:27] <Swian> I have a puppy linux stick that works fine
[02:28] <Swian> I know how to BOOT off it
[02:28] <kikagage> Falstaf: have you tried your font settings under system->Preferences-> Apperance window under the Font tab?
[02:28] <rhavenw> rebuilt i can boot from a flash drive
[02:28] <Swian> it doesn't work
[02:28] <karsten> ironfoot_495: "it comes back with" where, how, doing what?
[02:28] <rhavenw> but not a usb hard drive
[02:28] <karsten> ironfoot_495: Do you mean you're not able to reach some web sites?
[02:28] <NeT_DeMoN> can someone look overthis and make sure it's correct? http://ex0dus.pastebin.com/d11ccdee3
[02:28] <jpg_ny> bamball: as you have a low amount of memory, if you start to ask too much of the box swapp will be used then .. performance will go through the nfs
[02:28] <Xpistos> I have three systems A windows box (my wife) my laptop (hardy desktop) and my file server (hardy server) earlier I could not get the two desktops to see the server. I added another system to the mix (a faux server) then all of a sudden everything came on line. I got rid of the faux server and I couild see my shares on the files server. Reboot my ubuntu laptop and now it can't see the windows box and the server????? What?
[02:29] <Xpistos> I am hoping someone can help me cause I wasted like 5 hours on this
[02:29] <jeeves_Moss> how do I recursivly move everything on one dir to another?
[02:29] <esac> cp -R
[02:29] <karsten> Xpistos: Sounds like Samba weirdness.  You're talking about file/print share?
[02:29] <karsten> jeeves_Moss: mv <source> <dest>
[02:29] <Xpistos> karsten: File sharing
[02:29] <ironfoot_495> karsten: The localhost is not seeing anything I've tried to fix the default configuration but some where I screwed up !!!
[02:29] <jeeves_Moss> karsten, I tried that, and I get "unable to remove target: Is a directory"
[02:29] <karsten> ironfoot_495: What specific applications or commands are you running?
[02:29] <jpg_ny> Xpistos: Windows shares, I understand your pain, may I suggest a FTP solution ? would it work for you ?
[02:30] <bamball> jpg: yeah.. but typical page size is 4kb, network runs 100mbit/s, think end up faster swapping to local drive....
[02:30] <rhavenw> rebult: im guessing there is something special that needs to be done for a usb harddrive, that is different from a usb flash drive?
[02:30] <ironfoot_495> karsten: It's the apache2
[02:30] <Swian> I use FTP on my windows box to transfer files
[02:30] <karsten> jeeves_Moss: alternately:  cp -R <source> <dest>, or rsync, or any number of other tools.  Delete source when you're done.
[02:30] <YlandeFaran> I seem to have problems with g++ in ubuntu. I get compile error when I try to use "std::sort", "error: 'sort' is not a member of 'std'"   I have done "apt-get install build-essential" and "apt-get install g++", so I don't really understand what I'm missing on my system right now.

[02:31] <YlandeFaran> What do I need to get in addition to what I allready have?
[02:31] <Xpistos> jpg_ny: I would perfer stay away from the ftp because it adds files to my desktop
[02:31] <karsten> ironfoot_495: You're not providing me enough useful information to figure out what your problem is.
[02:31] <jpg_ny> bamball: network 100mbit/s that/s slow you will have an output of 10mbs then you have to write on the hard disk it is feasable though but I have seen it only on a scsi san
[02:31] <karsten> Xpistos: /join #samba ask there.
