[07:20] <lagann_> paul68, F9...
[07:20] <paul68> KatieKitty: no
[07:20] <Eulalia> How do I uninstall ubuntu? I have had problems with it freezing since I downloaded it, and now I can't even start it without it freezing as soon as I log in...
[07:20] <ikonia> zetheroo what graphics card is in the R61, is it an TI ?
[07:20] <ikonia> ATI
[07:21] <zetheroo> ikonia: another scenario .... this is more like a full system crash .... I am using the laptop, or its not being used (does not seem to make a diff), and the system freezes and the Caps Lock LED is flashing on the laptop .... nothing works but to do a hard power off
[07:21] <AidenXi> Eulalia if you installed it via Wubi, get back into Windows and remove it from "Add/Remove Programs." If its a physical install, pop in your Windows CD or another OS and install over it.
[07:21] <zetheroo> ikonia: Intel graphics
[07:21] <|GaiJin|> anyone know if there is a way to "merge" partitions... i have clearewd out the old windows partition i was using... and i am concidering the options i have
[07:22] <AidenXi> Eulalia If Windows is already on there, pop in the CD and go into recovery console, issue a "fixmbr" and it will essentially remove Ubuntu. Then from Windows you can regain the space.
[07:22] <zetheroo> ikonia: Atheros Wifi .... its been giving me trouble ever since I upgraded to Intrepid
[07:22] <ikonia> zetheroo most interesting, I'd first of all clear down the syslog totally - reboot the machine, then the next time it crashes go through the logs
[07:22] <macjason0607> AidenXi, k9copy keeps crashing .. there something else out there ?
[07:22] <AidenXi> zetheroo seems like its been giving a lot of people trouble. Use backports to 8.04 with ndiswrapper if you want.
[07:22] <Saga> General question -- What video player do everybody use?  I like Gnome Player because of its simplicity.
[07:22] <zetheroo> ikonia: how do I clear the syslog? ... sorry I am not a pro here ...
[07:22] <Krumar> hey, i just upgraded to Intrepid Ibex 8.10, when i press crlt+alt+f3 or whatever f key, i don't have a terminal, is that how it is supposed to be?
[07:22] <Eulalia> AidenXi: Thanks
[07:23] <AidenXi> Saga VLC on Linux, MPC on Windows
[07:23] <ikonia> zetheroo just remove the log a new one will be created on startup
[07:23] <lagann_> Krumar, no...
[07:23] <zetheroo> AidenXi: whats that?... the Atheros wifi?
[07:23] <paul68> lagann_: did not solve it it moves a bit but the layout stays the same
[07:23] <AidenXi> zetheroo correct
[07:23] <Krumar> lagann_, thanks i was hoping that wasn't right
[07:23] <zetheroo> ikonia: is there no way I would see the crash in the log now?
[07:23] <AidenXi> zetheroo in 8.10 the open sourced atheros drivers are included.
[07:23] <Saga> AidenXi, Got it.  I like MPC too. ;)
[07:23] <Saga> Anybody use Gnome Player here?
[07:24] <zetheroo> AidenXi: and they are no good?
[07:24] <LurkersA> Saga: I just use totem or VLC
[07:24] <ikonia> zetheroo: you could view the log now, sure, but from your symptons I think you'd find it more useful to have a fresh cleared down load
[07:24] <jeebster> Saga: Seriously, for *nix - mplayer
[07:24] <AidenXi> Saga I'd use VLC but it doesn't do 5.1 like MPC does...or at all for that matter for content with only 2 channels. MPC spreads it out and shoves it out all 5
[07:24] <jeebster> Or smplayer if you want a gui
[07:24] <ikonia> zetheroo: I would clear down the log on each reboot until you get a hang on the laptop
[07:24] <AidenXi> zetheroo they are if they work, if not then use ndiswrapper and do it as you have done it in the past.
[07:24] <zetheroo> ikonia: you mean becasue the symptoms are sporadic?
[07:24] <Saga> jeebster, Do you know if it's possible to combine two GUI part into one?
[07:24] <ajhtiredwolf> Having trouble botting into windows, ubuntu instaled first, this xp then vista, it says invalid device although i am selecitng the right partition
[07:25] <ikonia> zetheroo: yes, you could have a lot of pointless data in that
[07:25] <ikonia> zetheroo: so each time you shutdown, remove the log until you get a crash
[07:25] <zetheroo> AidenXi: I never used Ndiswrapper with this machine ...
[07:25] <jeebster> I don't know, usually not :/ But I'd say that smplayer should be good enough - I love mplayer without the GUI though
[07:25] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok... and hehe.. where is this precious log?
[07:25] <jeebster> Also, remember to build mplayer by yourself - quite easy on ubuntu and gives you the newest version
[07:25] <tieTYT2> ok this computer couldn't correctly boot ubuntu from the official disk either
[07:25] <AidenXi> jeebster oh yeah, ASCII in CLI =)
[07:25] <ikonia> zetheroo: /var/log
[07:26] <tieTYT2> it failed on loading the kernal or something
[07:26] <jeebster> AidenXi: lol - I didn't really mean that one but you made me remember that output 8)
[07:26] <AidenXi> tieTYT2 the CD drive is dying in that machine, swap it out.
[07:26] <candykiller> just had a scary moment
[07:26] <tieTYT2> it's a laptop that I got tonight
[07:26] <paul68> lagann_: did not solve it it moves a bit but the layout stays the same
[07:26] <AidenXi> jeebster lol I know, kills time when you're compiling something though!
[07:26] <tieTYT2> and it's installing civ4 right now without problems
[07:26] <zetheroo> ikonia: syslog or syslog.0   ?
[07:26] <candykiller> I changed some graphics on my computer in 8.10, and it wouldn't let me click on anything inside a window, it would just initiate the drag movement o.0
[07:26] <AidenXi> zetheroo syslog
[07:26] <Saga> jeebster, Well.  I don't like mplayer because of its non-simplicity.  I'm trying to figure out why Gnome Mplayer crash when I play it for at least 40 minutes.  Not only that... but Hulu too.  Could it be because of totem codecs?
[07:27] <ikonia> zetheroo: the current one will always be syslog, syslog.$number is an archive
[07:27] <AidenXi> zetheroo the .0 is an archived (old) copy.
[07:27] <jeebster> Saga, what kind of non-simplicity?
[07:27] <zetheroo> ikonia   AidenXi  : ok
[07:27] <jeebster> mplayer <filename> :3
[07:27] <theplastikjesus> Anyone have an idea why my Avant Window Navigator closes after i reboot, and why there is black lines at the end of it?
[07:27] <jeebster> or mplayer <filename> -ass
[07:27] <Saga> jeebster, Two GUI in one.  It's annoying but the features are nice.  Lot of settings. =)
[07:27] <jeebster> Two GUI in one o_O
[07:28] <phishie> exit
[07:28] <phishie> oops
[07:28] <rbomb> i'm looking for an app that would allow me to mask my plaintext http traffic -- "proxy" it through an SSL enabled middle man, is this possible?
[07:28] <macjason0607> im trying to fix my apt-get update it stops at 80% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[07:28] <macjason0607> any ideas ?
[07:28] <Saga> jeebster,  You know -- An empty window and seperated control
[07:28] <kindofabuzz> rbomb, https?
[07:28] <jeebster> the "empty" one should have the log, and I don't know if that's supposed to come out with smplayer
[07:28] <AidenXi> Saga VLC does this I'm pretty sure, atleast on a dual monitor setup.
[07:28] <zetheroo> ikonia: would you have any idea why dvd::rip also no longer works for me in Intrepid?
[07:28] <rbomb> kindofabuzz: well some sites don't support, but i don't want passwords to be transmitted in plaintext
[07:29] <jeebster> VLC is a streaming solution D:
[07:29] <Saga> VLC got a weak subtitle.  It stretch out (in pixels) when I'm watching it full-screen.  While... Mplayer or Gnome Player display subtitles beautifully.
[07:29] <AidenXi> jeebster VLC is a everything solution lol
[07:29] <zetheroo> ikonia: this is the output   http://pastebin.com/d272816ee
[07:29] <candykiller> god i could spend a year customizing my desktop...
[07:29] <AidenXi> Saga have you changed the subtitle settings? Mine is always crisp

[07:30] <lagann_> AidenXi, not for rendering saa subtitles
[07:30] <ikonia> zetheroo you need to be more descriptive with your info, saying won't work is no help

[07:33] <jeancalvin> i'm a newbie
[07:33] <lagann_> ask portforward.com

[07:34] <|TJ|> !windows
[07:34] <Leva> http;//www.corset.com
[07:34] <zetheroo> ikonia: yes I installed dvd::rip
[07:34] <zetheroo> ikonia: through Synaptic
[07:34] <|TJ|> !windows > vladtsepesh1984
[07:35] <jeancalvin> lagann_: i have to buy the "full version"? By the way it says, "System Requirments: Windows and Internet Explorer."
[07:35] <ikonia> zetheroo: I'm wondering if the upgrade didn't work, remove it an dre-install it
[07:35] <jeancalvin> I'm not on Windows, lagann_
[07:35] <zetheroo> ikonia: this is a fresh install ...
[07:35] <Saga> AidenXi, You say you set it up for crisp?
[07:35] <ikonia> zetheroo: that looks like a perl module is no longer compatible, which an upgrade could easy have caused
[07:35] <lagann_> "full version" of what?
[07:35] <ikonia> zetheroo: what happens if you launch it from the menu
[07:35] <vladtsepesh1984> hi everibody i have a big problem.....i have installed ubuntu in dual boot many times but this time i had a big problem....after i installed ubuntu i lost grub....so i had boot from cd and i have restored grub like in the comunity help....now i have another problem....when i decide to start windows i have a "error 13 ..." .....can somebody help me????i have read on ubuntu forum that i have to change settings on menu.lst but
[07:35] <jeancalvin> lagann_: portforward
[07:35] <zetheroo> ikonia: same thing ..
[07:36] <zetheroo> ikonia: reinstalling now
[07:36] <ikonia> zetheroo: try removing /home/zeth/dvdrip-data then starting it
[07:37] <rbomb> i made a forum post for it instead, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6247321#post6247321

[07:37] <andresmh> sometimes Flash doesn't play sounds on my browser. I restarted Firefox and still the same. However other apps (i.e. last.fm) are still playing sound. Any ideas on to do?
[07:37] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok
[07:37] <vladtsepesh1984> hi everibody i have a big problem.....i have installed ubuntu in dual boot many times but this time i had a big problem....after i installed ubuntu i lost grub....so i had boot from cd and i have restored grub like in the comunity help....now i have another problem....when i decide to start windows i have a "error 13 ..." .....can somebody help me????i have read on ubuntu forum that i have to change settings on menu.lst but
[07:38] <LurkersA> andresmh: The other programs may have locked the sound output
[07:38] <andresmh> LurkersA, how do I unlock it?
[07:38] <shal3r> jeebster, i got it working :)
[07:38] <shal3r> aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left
[07:38] <jeebster> nice
[07:39] <jeebster> congratulations :) I was playing with xorg.conf for hours in my time
[07:39] <LurkersA> type lsof /dev/ to see what is using your audio file first
[07:39] <lagann_> andresmh, there must be a program using the sound
[07:39] <LurkersA> it will be using a file called /dev/zero or something similar
[07:40] <lagann_> another*
[07:40] <andresmh> lagann_, so ubuntu doesn't allow for multiple apps using the sound at the same time?
[07:40] <LurkersA> easiest way will be to find the name of a program which has sound working, and find the file like that
[07:40] <zetheroo> ikonia: still the same
[07:40] <vladtsepesh1984> hi everibody i have a big problem.....i have installed ubuntu in dual boot many times but this time i had a big problem....after i installed ubuntu i lost grub....so i had boot from cd and i have restored grub like in the comunity help....now i have another problem....when i decide to start windows i have a "error 13 ..." .....can somebody help me????i have read on ubuntu forum that i have to change settings on menu.lst but
[07:40] <LurkersA> andresmh: Mine definately has that problem
[07:40] <zetheroo> ikonia: I will try completely removing it and reinstalling
[07:40] <ikonia> zetheroo: can you show me the error now that you have removed the directory please
[07:40] <macjason0607> anyone have a program better then k9 or is k9 the best
[07:40] <andresmh> interesting.
[07:41] <andresmh> another question, is there a way to use the webcam from Flash? on sites like seesmic.com
[07:41] <lagann_> dnsguardian, macjason0607?
[07:41] <lagann_> dansguardian*
[07:41] <zetheroo> ikonia:   http://pastebin.com/d3c9014e4
[07:41] <LurkersA> andresmh: Does firefox sound work if you start it the first time you start Ubuntu? Before you open another audio program?
[07:41] <macjason0607> lagann_, who is that for ?
[07:41] <Mo0oSaH> my pidgin keeps crashing randomly, i even tried disabling all the plugins.  Does anyone know what could be wrong?
[07:42] <ikonia> zetheroo I ased you to remove that directory /home/zeth/dvdrip-data/sharpesrifleeagle
[07:42] <andresmh> LurkersA, yes
[07:42] <lagann_> macjason0607, for you
[07:42] <macjason0607> lagann_, why ?
[07:42] <LurkersA> Then it is exactly the same problem I have :) try typing 'sudo alsa force-reload'
[07:42] <zetheroo> ikonia: yes I removed it and then started the program and tried to rip it again ... so it made the folder again ...
[07:43] <macjason0607> lagann_, my movies are legal
[07:43] <LurkersA> it will close all programs that are using alsa and restart it
[07:43] <LurkersA> see if that fixes firefox
[07:43] <jeancalvin> how can i find my dell router's model name/number?
[07:44] <ikonia> zetheroo: thats not what I asked you to do, I asked you to remove the directory and start it again to see if the error happened
[07:45] <zetheroo> ikonia: the error only happens when I try to actually rip the data off the dvd ... not when the program opens
[07:45] <andresmh> it did LurkersA ! :)
[07:45] <ikonia> zetheroo: have you tried a different dvd
[07:45] <zetheroo> ikonia: yes
[07:45] <ikonia> zetheroo: that error is basiclly saying the data being ripped is an unknown file type
[07:45] <ikonia> zetheroo: and this happens with every dvd
[07:45] <ikonia> zetheroo: have you got the dvdccs packages installed ?
[07:45] <zetheroo> ikonia: hmm .... od
[07:46] <candykiller> there are no flame usplash's :(
[07:46] <zetheroo> ikonia: will check
[07:46] <lagann_> macjason0607, why won't you try other program for backing up dvd from the repos?
[07:46] <LurkersA> andresmh: Then it is definitely the lock on the sound output :) That command I gave you will fix it everytime it happens, sure it's a little clunky, but it appears to be a clash with flash and alsa
[07:46] <ikonia> zetheroo: you must know, you had to run through a script to put the librarys on your system to decrypt dvd's
[07:46] <ikonia> !dvd
[07:46] <zetheroo> ikonia: dvdcss?
[07:46] <ikonia> zetheroo: thats it
[07:47] <zetheroo> ikonia: well I have ubnntu-restricted-extras installed
[07:47] <ikonia> zetheroo: thats not it
[07:47] <andresmh> thanks LurkersA, it's annoying but i'll live with it :)
[07:47] <zetheroo> ikonia: and libdvdread3
[07:47] <ikonia> zetheroo: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback
[07:47] <andresmh> doing top shows pulseaudio  by the way
[07:47] <ikonia> zetheroo: look at point 2.) "To activate DVD Decyption"
[07:47] <andresmh> isn't pulseaudio an alternative to alsa?
[07:48] <zetheroo> ikonia: do I have to do that thing from Medibuntu ?
[07:48] <zetheroo> ikonia: oh ok
[07:48] <ikonia> zetheroo: no
[07:48] <jeancalvin> what's the deffault url to get to my router settings in a browser?
[07:48] <ikonia> zetheroo: read the link
[07:48] <LurkersA> andresmh: I'm not 100% sure on that. Iteresting thought though
[07:49] <andresmh> I'm trying to use Cheese to capture video from webcam but it hangs. Any idea on how to debug it?
[07:49] <andresmh> it's a built-in webcam on a thinkpad
[07:49] <andresmh> and the LED does turn on, but then Cheese hangs
[07:49] <joshux> can i use an usb to serial adaptor for kernel console debugging ?
[07:50] <nillerz> Hey I tried the KDE desktop environment and uininstalled it but now Opera looks kdeish and its annoying. Can I return it to defaults? Hopwso?
[07:50] <lagann_> jeancalvin, open a terminal, type ifconfig, and look for where it says eth0 (only if you're using one NIC and not using a wireless card)
[07:50] <zetheroo> ikonia: sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found
[07:50] <ikonia> zetheroo: you've not got it installed
[07:51] <LurkersA> andresmh: Just had a read about pulseaudio, It's just a server that connects to some ALSA stuff. We are still running ALSA :| still was an interesting exercise
[07:51] <zetheroo> ikonia: it says to install libdvdread3 ... and I have that installed
[07:51] <jeancalvin> lagann_: that advice is for what? port forwarding?
[07:51] <candykiller> Question, how do I load Usplash themes, and what's the file extension for them?
[07:51] <lagann_> jeancalvin, type that and give me the ip address
[07:51] <andresmh> LurkersA, thanks for reading about it! i feel better to know i am not having some conflict
[07:52] <zetheroo> ikonia: and then step 2 says to just put that into the terminal
[07:52] <LurkersA> andresmh: No problem :) I was quite interested about it too :)
[07:52] <jeancalvin> lagann_:  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[07:52] <jeancalvin> lagann_:  i found my dell router's port forwarding settings page.
[07:53] <ikonia> zetheroo: show me dpkg -i | grep libdvdread3
[07:53] <lagann_> jeancalvin, so you must type: <IP_ADDRESS> in your web browser to get to your router settings
[07:53] <jeancalvin> Port Forwarding Settings page says that Port Forward is enabled for Transmission. Incoming port is "1~1". Destination IP address is <IP_ADDRESS>.
[07:54] <jeancalvin> lagann_: yes, i'm on my router settings now.
[07:54] <andresmh> do you happen to know how to configure Cheese or Camorama ? Cheese hangs and Camorama gives this error "Cannot connect to video device (/dev/video0) "
[07:54] <jeancalvin> how do i get an open port for transmission?
[07:54] <EMPulse> hey guys
[07:54] <EMPulse> are there any good programs for ubuntu that you guys recommend
[07:54] <zetheroo> ikonia:         zeth@zeth-r61:~$ sudo dpkg -i | grep libdvdread3
[07:54] <zetheroo> dpkg: --install needs at least one package archive file argument
[07:55] <ikonia> EMPulse: ton's search through the package managers and dry some stuff
[07:55] <lagann_> jeancalvin, what port did you put for transmission to use?
[07:55] <ikonia> zetheroo: sorry dpkg -l
[07:55] <ikonia> zetheroo: not -i
[07:55] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok
[07:55] <ikonia> EMPulse: "try" some stuff
[07:55] <LurkersA> EMPulse: Anything in particular you are looking for?
[07:55] <EMPulse> LurkersA, I dunno, firewall and stuff I guess, I've run out of programs to try on ubuntu
[07:55] <jeancalvin> lagann_: you mean in Transmission's program settings or my router settings?
[07:55] <zetheroo> ikonia:                   zeth@zeth-r61:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep libdvdread3
[07:55] <zetheroo> ii  libdvdread3                               0.9.7-11ubuntu2                       library for reading DVDs
[07:55] <lagann_> in the transmissions...
[07:55] <LurkersA> EMPulse: Firestarter is a good firewall
[07:56] <EMPulse> LurkersA, cool, thanks
[07:56] <zetheroo> ikonia: I think something is amiss with the Ubuntu Docs ... no?
[07:56] <LurkersA> EMPulse: No problem
[07:56] <ikonia> zetheroo no
[07:56] <jeancalvin> by the way, lagann_, according to http://www.portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm, port forwarding is needed only if NAT is not working. Can we not get transmission to use nat, so that we can avoid port forwarding?
[07:56] <ikonia> zetheroo: do "ls -la /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh"
[07:56] <lagann_> jeancalvin, actually, you are using NAT.
[07:57] <jeancalvin> lagann_: well, at first it was a big number. Something like 249830. But then I changed it arbitrarily to "1".
[07:57] <zetheroo> ikonia:         zeth@zeth-r61:~$ ls -la /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[07:57] <zetheroo> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2741 2008-09-26 10:53 /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[07:57] <ikonia> zetheroo: so the file is there - you must have miss-typed it
[07:57] <ikonia> zetheroo: something is wrong with your typing, not the docs
[07:58] <andresmh> webcam seems to work on skype but not on cheese nor camorama, any ideas?
[07:58] <ikonia> zetheroo: ahhhh I see, the examples line is added
[07:58] <zetheroo> ikonia ... ok ... well I just copy/pasted it ... no typing involved
[07:58] <slapdash> Slapdash
[07:58] <ikonia> zetheroo: there we go, it's the "examples" directory
[07:58] <zetheroo> ikonia: so it should be without it?
[07:58] <ncuh> i'm setting snort up according to the guide on forums. "Change "var HOME_NET any" to "var HOME_NET <IP_ADDRESS>/16" (use your netmask here)." my netmask has always been <IP_ADDRESS>, is that what i put there?
[07:59] <ikonia> zetheroo: yes, use the path I just gave you
[07:59] <_MM_> hello guys, i have a feeling that someone hacked my computer. i was in the terminal a and message are you on drugs? appeared. than i typed some command and another message appeared. i disconnected my pc from the internet immediatelly and changed password for user and put it down on the sheet of paper. after i rebooted my machine, i couldn't even log in as a user. i had to log in as root and change my password.
[07:59] <macjason0607> guys .. if i want to remote desktop my ubuntu machine how would i allow it ?
[07:59] <jeancalvin> lagann_: in my router's settings for transmission. should I make the port type: "TCP", "UDP" or "both"?
[07:59] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok ... that did it
[07:59] <jeancalvin> lagann_: is it okay to keep incoming ports from "1" to "1"?
[07:59] <JyZyXEL> what does aptitude reinstall '~i' do?
[07:59] <wasabi_> what's a good hdd benchmark tool/
[07:59] <ajhtwolf> Im trying to dual boot with windows, single hard drive, everything seems fine, partitions are on sda1, windows are paritiotns hd0,5 and 6. but hwne i try and load them it says error 15 invalid device
[08:00] <lagann_> jeancalvin, only "TCP"
[08:00] <LurkersA> macjason0607: There is an option under System | Administration
[08:00] <zetheroo> ikonia should I reboot?
[08:00] <ikonia> zetheroo: no
[08:00] <wasabi_> what's a good hdd benchmark tool?
[08:00] <LurkersA> macjason0607: If I was in Ubuntu I could tell you exactly, But I know it's there somewhere
[08:00] <binskipy2u> anyone here use UBUNTU ultimate 2.0, and/or have the xchat command to get to their room?
[08:00] <binskipy2u> or know the channel?
[08:01] <jeancalvin> lagann_: so is it okay to keep incoming ports "1~1"?
[08:01] <ikonia> zetheroo: there was the correct doc to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-dvd
[08:01] <servino> hi
[08:02] <KillerOrca> _MM_, here this is long but may help http://tuxtraining.com/2008/05/09/avoid-big-brother-and-hackers-on-a-linux-box/
[08:02] <zetheroo> ikonia ... well I still get the same error as before ... :(
[08:03] <lagann_> jeancalvin, not sure.
[08:03] <ikonia> zetheroo follow the rest of the instructions on the page I just gave you
[08:03] <_MM_> KillerOrca: thank you, I'll check it out.
[08:03] <lodder> HI, how can I go from a running debian server to ubuntu server on xen ?
[08:03] <servino> hi, can anyone help me share a file with windows (smb) , or point me to a guide, i'm using a barebone install with xfce
[08:04] <zetheroo> ikonia: its all for video playback ...
[08:04] <jeancalvin> lagann_:  it Transmissions > Settings> Peers tab, it says "Listening port: 1" "Port is closed.' I don't get it.
[08:04] <ikonia> !samba > servino
[08:04] <jeancalvin> I thought I chose "1" as the port in my dell router settings.
[08:04] <jeancalvin> lagann_: i'm so confused!
[08:04] <ikonia> lodder: install the ubuntu server - overwriting the debian install
[08:05] <ikonia> zetheroo: follow the instructions on the website I gave you
[08:05] <lodder> ikonia: I don't have a cd-rom driver or usb
[08:05] <lodder> ikonia: it's a xen server
[08:05] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok ... I just re-opened dvdrip and it seems to be working now
[08:05] <ikonia> lodder: buy a usb cdrom drive, or setup a net boot, however thats quite a long winded process
[08:05] <ikonia> lodder: then use xen to boot from an image
[08:05] <lodder> k
[08:06] <zetheroo> ikonia: its working now .... :) ... thanks for your help
[08:07] <WIGGMPk> So, I just installed Intrepid Ibex, and I was wondering how do you disable the gnome-panel? In hardy, you can just turn it off in Sessions, that option isnt there anymore??
[08:08] <servino> ikonia, thank you, do you know a little about smb, i went thru the links but have some questions
[08:08] <macjason0607> guys i allowed my ubuntu to be shared .. i try to connect to it from windows and it says that i don't have any terminal servers running .. any ideas ?
[08:08] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: how are you trying to connect to it?
[08:08] <ncuh> i'm setting snort up according to the intrusion detection thread. "Change "var HOME_NET any" to "var HOME_NET <IP_ADDRESS>/16" (use your netmask here)." my netmask has always been <IP_ADDRESS>, is that what i put there?
[08:08] <jeancalvin> can someone pls help me with port issue in Transmission?
[08:08] <macjason0607> WIGGMPk, remote desktop connection
[08:08] <ikonia> servino ask them
[08:08] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Is port 1 a reserved port? It is used for TCPMUX so maybe you can't open it.
[08:09] <nme> anyone have an experience with setting pxe boot of ubuntu live (hardy or intrepid) over nfs for more clients? how the server load will increase? how many clients can work over one server?
[08:09] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: how did you "share" ubuntu?
[08:09] <macjason0607> WIGGMPk, system > remote desktop
[08:09] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: behind a router?
[08:09] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: try using a port that isn't used for anything else, there is a list here http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
[08:09] <servino> ikonia, basically i want to share a folder that anyone can modify and acess
[08:09] <macjason0607> yea but im internal WIGGMPk
[08:09] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: try using vncviewer and not RDC
[08:09] <macjason0607> aw
[08:09] <macjason0607> WIGGMPk, on windows ?
[08:10] <jeancalvin> LurkersA: thank you for your reply. I'm not sure if port 1 is a reserved port. Also, I added more "incoming ports"
[08:10] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: yes, RDC on windows is not that great.. vnc viewer is free and small download..
[08:10] <jeancalvin> re: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers, should i chose a port that is said to be "unassigned"?
[08:10] <servino> ikonia, i'm not sure how to set it up, do i need to define smb users?
[08:10] <KenSentMe> I'm trying to install a program called Inform 7 on Ubuntu 8.10. The deb they provide is for 8.04. When i run the program it crashes on startup with these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76715/ Can anyone give me a clue on what goes wrong?
[08:10] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: btw, are you trying to RDC via hostname or IP?
[08:10] <macjason0607> ip
[08:10] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Yes, That was you can be assured of no clashes
[08:11] <NineTeen67Comet> Not an Ubuntu noob, but when trying to aptitude install b43-fwcutter it stalls at 75% when downloading. Even if I go the: sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh direction it stalls .. anyone got another path for this?
[08:11] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: thats going to bother me now, cause RDC should work
[08:11] <servino> ikonia, the folder is on linux, the clients are several windows machien...
[08:11] <jeancalvin> or should I used a private port, LurkersA?
[08:11] <macjason0607> my windows is on wifi .. ubuntu is hardwired .. i let ubuntu share but remote desktop on windows won't see it
[08:11] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Unassigned is probably a better bet
[08:12] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: so Ubuntu is shared via Remote Desktop, and when you try to RDC from windows, it wont pick it up... did you try pinging the IP from the WIndows machine just to make sure you can reach it?
[08:12] <macjason0607> yea one sec
[08:12] <NineTeen67Comet> If I can find the wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o file on the Internet somewhere; what directory does it need to be in for the b43-fwcutter install to find it?
[08:12] <macjason0607> let me try WIGGMPk
[08:13] <jeancalvin> why is transmission sleeping all of a sudden? is 'sleeping" like a crash?
[08:14] <AlectTheGeek> join #perlnet
[08:14] <JyZyXEL> does google have an escape character?
[08:14] <_coredump_> moinsen
[08:14] <macjason0607> hmm.. i can't ping it.. probably cause its vista .. gimme a sec WIGGMPk
[08:14] <sleepy_cat> my browser is rendering a page..and a certificate is shown in the terminal ..but my problem is for the other sites it does not work.. ie. site gets rendered but a certificate is not shown in the terminal

[08:14] <FloodBot1> sleepy_cat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:14] <servino> my basic question is how do i share a folder with windows using the smb.conf file?
[08:16] <sleepy_cat> FloodBot instead of tht try to solve my problem
[08:16] <macjason0607> WIGGMPk, im typing this from my laptop .. vnc is working
[08:16] <LurkersA> sleepy_cat: FloodBot is a Bot, It can't respond to you
[08:16] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: so vncviewer works but RDC doesnt?
[08:16] <sleepy_cat> o cool
[08:16] <LurkersA> sleepy_cat: It just sees a long list of posts by you and guesses you are spamming.
[08:16] <macjason0607> yea
[08:17] <macjason0607> let me try again
[08:17] <LurkersA> sleepy_cat: Just try to keep the question to one line :)
[08:17] <WIGGMPk> macjason0607: did you change anything? using hostname or IP now? can you ping either? (hostname or IP)?
[08:18] <sleepy_cat> ok tell me as many https pages as possible
[08:19] <LurkersA> sleepy_cat: https://mail.google.com
[08:19] <sniff_> hi, i'm having a LUKS drive starting to fail (some few sectors now return error and auto-relocate fail), should i be using smartctl or badblocks primarily to check it? and if badblocks, then should it be run on physical or mapped drive?

[08:26] <JyZyXEL> what does:  aptitude reinstall '~i'  do?
 is your mac a recent model?
[08:26] <JyZyXEL> i tried googling it but i found nothing
[08:26] <nme> JyZyXEL: reinstalls every installed package?
[08:26] <JyZyXEL> nme what does it basicly mean?
[08:27] <nme> JyZyXEL: what does reinstall mean?
[08:27] <JyZyXEL> in what situation would you wanna do something like that?
[08:27] <stooj> naftilos76, it's a 2,1
[08:27] <stooj> So intel, but not the newer ones
[08:27] <lagann_> JyZyXEL, don't just google, make use of the terminal, type man aptitude on it

[08:28] <WIGGMPk> Running Intrepid Ibex (amd64) and need to remove the "gnome-panel" and prevent it from running, and for some reason even though I have the following command "emerald --replace&" to start in the sessions, but it doesnt work. Any thoughts???
[08:28] <naftilos76> ok! nice
[08:28] <JyZyXEL> lagann_ its not gonna tell me why i would wanna use that spesfic command
[08:28] <ahtmly2k> help; why can't i edit files in "/etc/modprobe.d"?
[08:28] <LurkersA> nme: It removes the package then installs it again
[08:28] <servino> ahtmly2k, probably need to use sudo
[08:28] <ahtmly2k> i did
[08:29] <stooj> naftilos76, so sadly having quite a few issues with 8.10 :(
[08:29] <ahtmly2k> i did sudo in terminal

[08:29] <naftilos76> Has anybody installed virtualbox 2.04 from the repos? Are usb devices showing up?

[08:29] <servino> ahtmly2k, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d ?
[08:29] <ahtmly2k> opened the file "alsa-base" in file bfrowser

[08:31] <ahtmly2k> will try
 So, it hasn't been compiled with usb support? Is that what's you're telling me?
[08:31] <servino> ahtmly2k, wait
[08:31] <servino> which file excatly?
[08:31] <magnetron> naftilos76→ no, i'm telling you it HAS no usb support to compile
[08:31] <ahtmly2k> it wont, it says cannot open display:

[08:35] <servino> ahtmly2k, try nano instead of gedit
[08:35] <jeancalvin> dear friends, I'm trying to set up port forwarding on my transmission bittorrent program (in hopes that download speed will be better). the page on http://www.transmissionbt.com/help/gtk/1.4x/html/pfrouter.html gives detailed instruction, but it seems to miss one thing: My dell router port forwarding settings is asking for "Destination Port" (see http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227602130.png), but transmission help page given doesn't s
[08:36] <kupo> howdy channel, I'm experiencing a problem when I exit from any game on my laptop recently upgraded to Intrepid, when I exit the entire desktop freezes
[08:36] <magnetron> jeancalvin→ the "Destination port" in your router settings should be the same number as the port setting in transmission
[08:36] <kupo> I can't ctrl-backspace or ctrl-f1 either
[08:37] <kupo> so far it's happened with glest, vegastrike warzone 2100 and a few others
[08:38] <WalrusMan> from within X you have to ctrl+alt+f1
[08:38] <kupo> sorry yes, I've tried
[08:38] <kupo> got the key sequence wrong
[08:38] <jeancalvin> dear magnetron, thank you. in transmission, the only "port" thing I see is "listening port" (under Network tab). Isn't transmission's "listening port" equal to router's "incoming port"?
[08:38] <kupo> I recently moved back to radeon drivers from fglrx
[08:38] <WalrusMan> is the box hung entirely? or just X?
[08:39] <magnetron> jeancalvin→ yes. that too
[08:39] <kupo> hung entirely
[08:39] <kupo> even remote ssh sessions freeze
[08:39] <WalrusMan> so, it doesn't even respond to ping?
[08:39] <WalrusMan> k
[08:39] <WalrusMan> dunno, that's weird
[08:39] <kupo> I'd like to think I'm an experienced user
[08:39] <kupo> I've been using linux for about 5-6 years
[08:39] <kupo> but this has me stumped
[08:39] <jeancalvin> magnetron: are you saying that in Router's port forwarding settings for transmission service, "Incoming Ports" should equal " Destination Port"? (see http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227602130.png)
[08:39] <lagann_> the new version of X11 really pisses me off.
[08:40] <WalrusMan> well, sounds like a bug in the video driver when changing video modes
[08:40] <kupo> was running hardy and did a dist-upgrade to intrepid
[08:40] <magnetron> jeancalvin→ use the same port for "listening port" in transmission, "incoming port" and "destination port" in your router
[08:40] <kupo> WalrusMan: very possible
[08:40] <WalrusMan> I'm using the radeon driver on Intrepid, though it's been fine here
[08:41] <kupo> what sort of hw you using?
[08:41] <WalrusMan> it's a radeon 9000
[08:41] <kupo> I'm on a thinkpad T42p w/ ati firegl T2
[08:41] <WalrusMan> yeah, that's a bit more recent than mine
[08:41] <WalrusMan> this is a 6 year old card
[08:41] <jeancalvin> this is strange: Dell Router won't accept "49153" as incoming port value.
[08:41] <kupo> fglrx was giving me all sorts of problems with suspend/resume
[08:42] <jeancalvin> LurkersA: magnetron: pls see above
[08:42] <kupo> for not much noticable speed increase in rendering
[08:42]  * Panarchy says Hi
[08:42] <kupo> WalrusMan: so any suggestions?
[08:42] <Panarchy> kupo
[08:42] <Panarchy> repeat question, I might be able to help
[08:42] <WalrusMan> not sure what to tell you -- I'm guessing nothing makes it into the system log before the system hangs?
[08:43] <kupo> Panarchy: want me to pm it to you?
[08:43] <Lo_> How do I discover in what data mode my ext3 partition is?
[08:43] <kupo> WalrusMan: I've checked but maybe.....
[08:43] <WalrusMan> you might ask in #xorg where people will know more about the driver
[08:43] <kupo> where would be best log to check?
[08:43] <|TJ|> how do i figure out my ip through terminal
[08:43] <kupo>  /var/log/syslog ?
[08:43] <sniff_> kupo: /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[08:43] <dennda> |TJ|: ifconfig
[08:43] <kupo> sniff_: yeah checked that earlier
[08:44] <kupo> only thing suspicious was
[08:44] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Hmmmm Interesting. Does it do that with any other ports?
[08:44] <Panarchy> dennda
[08:44] <Panarchy> what was that other command?
[08:44] <jeancalvin> LurkersA: yes
[08:44] <Panarchy> like there's more than one that shows your ip
[08:44] <Panarchy> what was the other one?
[08:44] <jeancalvin> maybe it's dell's router page
[08:44] <|TJ|> dennda: it dont show it, it shows my router ip
[08:44] <kupo> "AUDIT: Tue Nov 25 02:00:48 2008: 5277 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1000 pid=5672 )"

[08:45] <WalrusMan> xrandr time?
[08:45] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: That is..... odd
[08:45] <kupo> but this is is just a hard freeze
[08:45] <cMad_> how can I figure out the brand of a new external USB drive I just connected to ubuntu (mounted fine)
[08:45] <kupo> Panarchy: did you want me to pm you the problem?
[08:45] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[08:45] <WalrusMan> cMad_, try looking at lsusb
[08:45] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Are there any fields on the page that are not filled in?
[08:45] <|TJ|> How to i make my computer to where someone can SSH into it
[08:45] <Panarchy> kupo
[08:45] <Panarchy> yes
[08:46] <|TJ|> !ssh
[08:46] <cMad_> WalrusMan; will do, cheers :)
[08:46] <kupo> |TJ|: make sure you have openssh-server installed
[08:46] <Panarchy> ubottu
[08:46] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[08:46] <Panarchy> sudo apt-get install putty
[08:46] <jeancalvin> well, i've filled them all in, but it says "wrong value" for the "from" field in "Incoming ports"
[08:46] <ActionParsnip1> Panarchy: you can ssh from the terminal, no need for an extra client app
[08:46] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: does it config itself?
[08:47] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Hmmmmmmm
[08:47] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: you will be able to logon with the accounts on the system you are ssh-ing to
[08:47] <jeancalvin> LurkersA: is there some other way i can edit my dell router settings?
[08:47] <kupo> ActionParsnip1: i think he wants someone to ssh to him
[08:47] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: X forwarding is also enabled by default :D
[08:47] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: I am not sure sorry -shrug-
[08:47] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Try googling the router model number to get some documents
[08:48] <cMad_> WalrusMan; bit confusing that, any tips on how to use lsusb?

[08:48] <WalrusMan> cMad_, well what was the output? (put it on a pastebin)
[08:48] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: then thats not SSH. thats your network configuration
[08:49] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: how about the output of ifconfig eth0
[08:49] <cMad_> WalrusMan; http://paste.ubuntu.com/76722/
[08:49] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: can you provide a pastebin if the entire output of ifconfig please
[08:49] <ActionParsnip1> !paste | |TJ|
[08:49] <|TJ|> one second
[08:50] <ActionParsnip1> np
[08:50] <|TJ|> i gotta figure out how to copy from terminal to pastebin
[08:50] <|TJ|> im using xterm
[08:50] <Lo_> How do I discover in what data mode my ext3 partition is (e.g. data=journal, data=ordered)?
[08:50] <WalrusMan> cMad_, well the vendor string is on the right hand side
[08:50] <jeancalvin> LurkersA: port 12 seems to be acceptable to dell router.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip1> select as normal, ctrl + C, then paste to web as usual
[08:50] <jeancalvin> and accdng to http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers, port 12 is unassigned.
[08:51] <Panarchy> what do I type into terminal to reset the layout of my 'top menubar'
[08:51] <Panarchy> (using ubuntu)
[08:51] <cMad_> WalrusMan; sorry, perhaps I was unclear. I want to know the brand of the drive (Western Digital  etc) of a new USB HDD (Buffalo Drivestation) I've just plugged into Ubuntu and mounted
[08:51] <woody86> besides making /home its own partition, is there anything I should setup when doing a clean install? (I have / on a 10gb partition)
[08:51] <lagann_> jeancalvin, try using the port number: 51413 for your transmission and dell router
[08:51] <biouser> how to see the groups from the command line?
[08:51] <biouser> haha, groups
[08:51] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: tHAT LOOKS GOOD THEN :)
[08:52] <LurkersA> jeancalvin: Excuse the caps
[08:52] <jeancalvin> lagann_: i'll try your 51413 if transmission still thinks Port 12 is closed.
[08:52]  * LurkersA is embarrassed
[08:52] <jeancalvin> lagann_: for some reason, dell router doesn't seem to like big numbers
[08:52] <Panarchy> (using ubuntu)
[08:52] <Panarchy> what do I type into terminal to reset the layout of my 'top menubar'
[08:53] <WalrusMan> cMad_, hm, not sure how you might get more like that easily.. what shows in dmesg when you plug it in?
[08:53] <jeancalvin> lagann_: yes, transmission still says "port 12 is closed". aagh.
[08:53] <WIGGMPk> How do you turn off "gnome-panel" and prevent it from starting in Intrepid Ibex, and how do you get Emerald to automatically start when you login? (I already have "emerald --replace&" in sessions)
[08:53] <Panarchy> what do I type into terminal to reset the layout of my 'top menubar'
[08:54] <cMad_> WalrusMan; scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access     BUFFALO  External HDD          PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS
[08:54] <jeancalvin> lagann_: does this http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227603262.png look right?
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: ok well eth1 has a valid IP address
[08:54] <lagann_> jeancalvin, yes...
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: lo is the one you were detailing with <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:54] <jeancalvin> lagann_: should incoming port and destination port be the same value? Shouldn't they be different?
[08:54] <servino> Panarchy, what do you mean?
[08:54] <WalrusMan> cMad_, sounds more like what you want
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: this is standard
[08:54] <Panarchy> WalrusMan
[08:54] <Panarchy> Yesterday on this channel
[08:54] <lagann_> jeancalvin, hold up!
[08:55] <jeancalvin> lagann_: crazy dell router won't accept 51413 as the value!!!
[08:55] <Panarchy> someone told me the commadn to reset the placement of stuff on the top menubar (panel)
[08:55] <jeancalvin> i hate this dell router.
[08:55] <Panarchy> why you want so high a number?
[08:55] <lagann_> jeancalvin, change the port type to only TCP
[08:56] <jeancalvin> lagann_: even when i changed to ONLY TCP, dell router says the same thing.
[08:56] <jeancalvin> 8-(
[08:56] <jeancalvin> lagann_: its exact message is "Please enter a valid port value for the 'from' value of Incoming port !!"
[08:56] <kupo> WalrusMan: I'll give em a shot, thanks for your help
[08:57] <Panarchy> servino, what's the command to reset the layout of the top bar?
[08:57] <WalrusMan> cMad_, http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids has a mapping of usb ids that might be handy, though I don't see your drvie there
[08:57] <jeancalvin> lagann_: 28 as value works. but why does transmission say "Port is closed"???
[08:57] <servino> Panarchy, are you Panarchy from Windowsforum?
[08:57] <Panarchy> why do you ask?
[08:57] <zetheroo> is there a better driver for the Atheros wifi than the one used in Ubuntu ?
[08:57] <cMad_> WalrusMan; cheers, I'll have a look
[08:57] <Panarchy> zetheroo
[08:57] <Panarchy> yes
[08:58] <Panarchy> have a look at the backtrack wiki
[08:58] <Panarchy> Atheros ones are awesome for packet injection
[08:58] <servino> Panarchy, i don't know the command, didnt realise there was one
[08:59] <zetheroo> Panarchy: not sure what you mean
[08:59] <Panarchy> zetheroo
[08:59] <Panarchy> I changed my resolution, and I want to move everything back to how it was before
[09:00] <Panarchy> without having to right-click, Lock to Panel, Move
[09:00] <Panarchy> for every single thing... lol
[09:00] <servino> Panarchy, oh i know, gconf-edit
[09:01] <Panarchy> servino
[09:01] <Panarchy> nup
[09:01] <Panarchy> not understanding the command...
[09:01] <zetheroo> Panarchy: ummm yes?
[09:01] <Panarchy> zetheroo
[09:01] <Panarchy> command doesn't do anything
[09:01] <Panarchy> AT ALL
[09:01] <zetheroo> anyone have any experience with Atheros in Intrepid?
[09:02] <Panarchy> have a look on the backtrack forums
[09:02] <Panarchy> and or backtrack irc channel
[09:02] <woody86> when installing with multiple partitions, should I make them primary or logical?
[09:02] <zetheroo> zetheroo: what are you talking about? ... you were telling me something about Atheros.... and now what are you saying?
[09:02] <lagann_> jeancalvin, how about you change the service name from transmission to torrent?
[09:02] <jeancalvin> lagann_: will that help?
[09:03] <lagann_> I don't know, but you can give it a try
[09:03] <jeancalvin> ok.
[09:03] <Panarchy> With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one?
[09:03] <ActionParsnip1> woody86: you can have 4 primary. I'd suggest 2 primary and the rest logical
[09:03] <servino> Panarchy, try gconf-editor...can't remember well..cause i dont use gnome
[09:04] <Panarchy> Though depends on what OSs are going to be installed
[09:04] <ndlovu> I'm looking for a lean notepad-type application that I can use in an always-on-top mode to keep track of a few simple tasks, etc. it should use as little unnecessary real estate as possible (no menus, etc). anyone know of such an app for gnome?
[09:04] <jeancalvin> lagann_: that doesn't work.
[09:04] <Panarchy> servino, the gconf-editor command isn't recognised by terminal
[09:04] <LurkersA> ndlovu: vim set to "Always on Top"?
[09:04] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: would you have any insight into the Atheros chipset in Intrepid?
[09:04] <Panarchy> WORKING NOW
[09:04] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: mine works out of the box
[09:05] <lagann_> jeancalvin, did you get the same message?
[09:05] <woody86> ActionParsnip1, well, I'm going to have one for / one for /home and then the swap, can I make them all primary?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: used linux restricted modules
[09:05] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: mine too ... but not very well ...
[09:05] <jeancalvin> lagann_: well, dell router was okay with name change. but transmission gave same "port is closed" messaeg.
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> woody86: yeah sounds fine
[09:05] <woody86> ActionParsnip1, cool, thanks :)
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> woody86: nice choice of partitions, makes backups easier
[09:05] <ndlovu> LurkersA, it's still got menus and scroll bar that take up too much space... unless there's a way to turn those off?
[09:06] <ncuh> how can ttf-opensymbol be an important security update?
[09:06] <woody86> ActionParsnip1, that's what I'm hoping for :) I've done at least a dozen clean installs on my laptop, but never really looked into how to properly partion them myself
[09:06] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: what is the default driver that Ubuntu uses for the Atheros wifi chip?
[09:06] <woody86> ActionParsnip1, would there be benefits to making any other seperate partitions? Like for /boot or anything else?
[09:07] <theplastikjesus> How do i keep my screenlets from disapearing everytime i log off?
[09:08] <Panarchy> With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one?
[09:08] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: i added port fwding to my router and im still getting connection refused
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> woody86: not massively afaiks
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: then you arent doing the forwarding right
[09:08] <woody86> ActionParsnip1, ok, thanks again :)
[09:08] <WIGGMPk> How do you remove and prevent from starting the "gnome-panel" in Intrepid Ibex?????
[09:08] <LurkersA> ndlovu: You could use it in a terminal?
[09:08] <candykiller_> ok, i got a really dumb question
[09:08] <candykiller_> I accidently blocked images from gnome-look.org on FF, how do I unblock them?
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76727/
[09:09] <jeancalvin> guys, i think according to some docs on my router, for port forwarding to work, i need to set up a static ip address.
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: thats what it says from lshw -C network
[09:09] <LurkersA> ndlovu: Vim is just a frontend for vi, which is initially just a terminal text editor. other option is emacs
[09:09] <ndlovu> LurkersA, yes, I'm experimenting with that, and I see you can turn off the menu. Do you know if it's possible to turn off the application bar (or make it invisible)?
[09:09] <arquebus> how do I set up a solid color desktop background? I cant find how to deactivate the background pics
[09:09] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: i fwd port 22 on ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: you may want to put the system running the ssh server on static ip, saves heartache later if its ip changes due to expired dhcp lease
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: read the manual for your router, maybe theres a step you are missing or maybe the router needs rebooting to apply
[09:10] <|TJ|> ActionParsnip1: my ip never changes i just dont remember it...
[09:10] <LurkersA> ndlovu: Um... theoretically :) just have a play around with it :)
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> |TJ|: im on about your systems IP not your routers
[09:10] <candykiller_> Anyone got a idea on how I fix this?
[09:11] <jeancalvin> which of the options in the dropdown menu is the place to setup static ip address: pls see http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1227604261.png
[09:11] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: this is what mine says   http://pastebin.com/d69b79058
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: looks fine
[09:12] <LurkersA> candykiller_: tools | Options | Content "Load images Automatically: Exceptions"
[09:12] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: yeah ... just that my wifi never connects automatically ... and I have to refresh the network list manually for it to see anything at all
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: do you use any other wifi except this one/
[09:13] <sudheer_>  has anybody been using ubuntu->vmware->windows on their machines?
[09:13] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: none
[09:13] <Panarchy> couldn't get it to work for me
[09:13] <candykiller_> LurkersA: Mine doesn't have a Options under tools :(
[09:13] <sniff_> sudheer_: yeas
[09:14] <Panarchy> I'm doing windows->vmware->ubuntu now
[09:14] <Panarchy> ;)
[09:14] <DIFH-iceroot> sudheer_: i am sure someone has used this, just ask your real question
[09:14] <sudheer_> sniff, my problem is that when I start windows in vmware player, it doesn't play sounds
[09:14] <candykiller_> LurkersA: Nevermind, under the Edit Tab
[09:14] <sniff_> sudheer_: audio device needs to be available upon starting vmware-vmrc or use a wrapper like artsdsp or aoss
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: you could always manually configure /etc/network/interfaces to be configured for the only wifi it connects to. The app will the be redundant and it will connect without scanning
[09:14] <LurkersA> candykiller_: Ok :)
[09:14] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: should I try compiling madwifi?
[09:14] <candykiller_> LurkersA: Thank you
[09:15] <sniff_> sudheer_: or upon starting the windows
[09:15] <sudheer_> I heard and realized that it's mozilla firefox that's been locking /dev/adsp
[09:15] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: no need, the connection works fine. If you enter the connection details into /etc/network/interfaces it will connect fine
[09:16] <arquebus> anyone know how I change the desktop background to a solid color? I cant seem to deactivate the background pics
[09:16] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[09:16] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip1: will it? cause it looks like the card sees nothing unless I manually refresh the wireless networks list
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: that will help ^
[09:17] <harlekin> background first entry should be asolidcolour
[09:17] <arquebus> harlekin: thanks
[09:18] <me>  /join #mythbuntu
[09:18] <harlekin> no prob
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> zetheroo: maybe adding the command to sudo iwlist scan will help (not graceful but may solve it)

[09:19] <WIGGMPk> Does anyone know how to STOP gnome-panel from loading in Intrepid Ibex????
[09:21] <schizoschaf> is there a book on bazaar?

[09:27] <marina> I just installed MySQL, apparently it set a default password
[09:27] <marina> what is it?
[09:28] <andrea_> hi
[09:28] <marina> Eg, I cannot connect using mysql -u root
[09:28] <sudheer_> marina, did you try 'password'
[09:29] <ActionParsnip1> the default sql admin username is usually 'sa'
[09:29] <marina> sudheer_: just did, does not work
[09:29] <carpii> sa is only default for sql server. mysql defaults to root
[09:30] <marina> Strange, I only did a apt-get install mysql
[09:30] <carpii> marina, it didnt set a default password, it asked you to using mysqladmin
[09:30] <carpii> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-change-root-password/
[09:30] <joeb3_> marina, mysql -u root -h localhost
[09:31] <marina> joeb3_: still asking for pass
[09:31] <sudheer_> marina: how about 'adminadmin'
[09:31] <carpii> yeah it defaults to localhost, thats not the problem
[09:31] <carpii> check the link i pasted
[09:32] <marina> carpii: not working
[09:32] <marina> mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
[09:32] <marina> still saying access denied
[09:32] <marina> Ha, I managed to connect
[09:33] <marina> maybe the install script did ask me for a password
[09:33] <marina> I finally found it
[09:33] <carpii> :p

[09:33] <oOarthurOo> is there a way to get a list of all the channels available on irc.freenode?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip1> !channels
[09:33] <ziroday> oOarthurOo: yes, what client?
[09:33] <oOarthurOo> ziroday: Pidgin
[09:33] <ziroday> oOarthurOo: nevermind, follow the link ActionParsnip1 gave you
[09:34] <oOarthurOo> thanks ActionParsnip1 ziroday
[09:34] <Lynoure> Is there any setting in Evolution that shows if a message has been forwarded?
[09:34] <Lynoure> (from the user to someone else, that is)
[09:37] <Panarchy> With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one?
[09:38] <oOarthurOo> Panarchy: That, I think is not possible.
[09:38] <Freku> riglhtclick on that menu
[09:38] <Freku> and add ?
[09:39] <oOarthurOo> Panarchy: Not without checking out the source, hacking it to your needs, and then compiling your own panel app.
[09:39] <jeancalvin> what's a quick way to see which port numbers/values are still UNassigned on my computer/router/network/whatever?
[09:39] <oOarthurOo> With linux everything is possible, but given your question, I'd have to say for 99% of Ubuntu users, it is not possibe.
[09:41] <oOarthurOo> Panarchy: Depending on what you are trying to do, have you considered adding a drawer to the panel, naming the drawer what you like, then adding the various apps you want available in it?
[09:41] <oOarthurOo> You could then move the drawer beside the main menu and replicate somewhat what you are hoping to achieve.
[09:41] <biouser> what /sbin/route returns for 'destination' should be the network line (when configuring local static) in /etc/network/interfaces    ?
[09:41] <Abracadabra> Hi
[09:42] <biouser> so, if I want address to be <IP_ADDRESS> it still makes sense to have network <IP_ADDRESS>   ?
[09:42] <Abracadabra> How do I start Ubuntu from the command line ? ... I would like to install KDE, and power on the PC so I can choose which GUI to launch
[09:44] <stdin> Abracadabra: the Login manager does that for you, it gives you the option to start Gnome, KDE or whatever else you have installed
[09:44] <biouser> netstat -tulp
[09:44] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  i suggest to write a litte script that ouputs such using netstat
[09:44] <biouser> haha, oops
[09:44] <abaddon> hi, why would apache on ubuntu serve a request for /phpinfo (without the .php extension) from /phpinfo.php ? im sure its not from mod_rewrite or mod spelling, what other modules could allow for this kind of spelling correction?
[09:44] <jeancalvin> oskar-: i'm no hacker. i'm a newb
[09:45] <Abracadabra> stdin, the login manager ? ....as I boot, I get to a login screen and it start Gnome by default .....
[09:45] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  where do you want to use it for? maybe there are other solutions?
[09:45] <stdin> Abracadabra: where you put in your username and password there is a menu to choose which session to start
[09:46] <Abracadabra> stdin, booting it now.....and checking
[09:46] <jeancalvin> jeancalvin: i just want an open port for a program
[09:47] <Abracadabra> so the login page is neither part of Gnome nor KDE ?
[09:47] <theCzar> hey, can anyone give me a hand with a problem getting ubuntu to boot from a flash drive?
[09:47] <core2> nida
[09:47] <theCzar> i just can't get it boot
[09:48] <core2> hiiiiiiiiiii
[09:48] <stdin> Abracadabra: GDM (the default on Gnome/Ubuntu) is a part of Gnome, but it can start any desktop manager
[09:48] <lagann_> theCzar, did you change the boot sequence in your BIOS?
[09:48] <Abracadabra> ok, and within the apt-get, what is it that I need to install to get KDE ?
[09:48] <stdin> Abracadabra: "kubuntu-desktop"
[09:49] <Abracadabra> when I do apt-cache search kde    ... pages of them appear
[09:49] <zzeus> MWHAHAHAHA
[09:49]  * zzeus is back
[09:49] <Abracadabra> stdin, would that mean I have Kubuntu as well as Ubuntu then ?
[09:49] <C0p3rn1c> wb evil zzeus =)
[09:49] <stdin> Abracadabra: yes
[09:49] <lagann_> jeancalvin, how about you just enable the dmz option in your router settings?
[09:50] <Abracadabra> stdin, cool, thanks, you rock!
[09:50] <theCzar> lagann_  yes
[09:50] <jeancalvin> lagann_: i don't think bittorrent likes dmz option
[09:50] <theCzar> i even forced it to not be able to boot from anything else
[09:50] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  you can view a list of used ports with something like "netstat -atun". port numbers for tcp and udp reach from 0 to 65535, so everything not mentioned is unused atm
[09:50] <sc9ens> hi all, i just got ubuntu hardy working on my laptop, however when viewing sites the fonts are all out of wack - is there a way to make browsing similar to a windows machine? so the font look normal?
[09:51] <jeancalvin> oskar-: is there a netstat command to get a list of UNused ports?
[09:51] <oskar-> i don't know of any option or command
[09:51] <oOarthurOo> theCzar: Have you made your usb bootable with a package or program, like syslinux?
[09:51] <Abracadabra> what would you recommend ? ...kde4 or the older version ?
[09:51] <Abracadabra> or can I use the old version, then upgrade it if I want to ?
[09:51] <abaddon> my question above, got some help, it was from Options MultiViews, which can cause an url without a .php extension get mapped to the .php file
[09:51] <theCzar> oOarthurOo I used syslinux in the terminal
[09:51] <nibbler> jeancalvin: why would one need that?
[09:52] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  that list normally would be quite long and confusing
[09:52] <C0p3rn1c> sc9ens: you could install IE with wine
[09:52] <oOarthurOo> theCzar: I used a tire iron in the street, but it doesn't mean I changed my tire. What instructions are you following?
[09:52] <sc9ens> hmm id rather use firefox
[09:52] <C0p3rn1c> sc9ens: install wine and wine-doors
[09:53] <oskar-> sc9ens:  what do you mean with out of wack? can you provide a screenshot?
[09:53] <C0p3rn1c> sc9ens: k, well you can also install msfonts
[09:53] <sc9ens> for example im using google docs and the defaut font is veranda but i get some wierd other font
[09:53] <torfi> já sall
[09:53] <theCzar> oOarthurOo I know that just letting you know there was no GUI issues, i used penlinux's stuff and some help from debuntu when that didn't work
[09:53] <theCzar> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/15/ubuntu-810-persistent-flash-drive-install-from-live-cd/
[09:53] <jeancalvin> oskar-: here's netstat -atun printout: http://pastebin.com/m6cbf46e7 . what is a low number for unused port?
[09:53] <Rainarrow> Hello, how can I tell ls to list only directories? i.e. like the DOS command "dir /ad"
[09:53] <oskar-> C0p3rn1c:  this is not a good idea. ie6 is a mess regarding to security, and it is unstable with wine
[09:54] <C0p3rn1c> oskar-: yeah ms IE is pretty crappy
[09:54] <jeancalvin>  if i turn on DMZ on my router, would my "Port is closed" issue go away?
[09:54] <oOarthurOo> theCzar: I was hoping for a link. And some point at which you found an error. Tell you what... when you boot the usb stick what do you see?
[09:54] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  1
[09:55] <theCzar> oOarthurOo i put a link up right after it:  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/15/ubuntu-810-persistent-flash-drive-install-from-live-cd/
[09:55] <jeancalvin> oskar-: what column are you looking at to find ports?
[09:55] <theCzar> oOarthurOo nothing it refuses to boot
[09:55] <nomoa> Rainarrow: you can't, use find . -type d in that case
[09:55] <oOarthurOo> so you see a black screen... absolutely nothing? theCzar
[09:55] <lagann_> jeancalvin, yes...
[09:56] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  the column "local address". 1 is not a good choice. choose some port > 1023, that does not show up after the ':' in the local address column
[09:56] <theCzar> oOarthurOo just goes to the hard-drive, and ignores the USB, I changed the CMOS prefs, to be USB first and even removed all other options, and yes it just said failed to boot
[09:56] <jeancalvin> oskar-: thanks
[09:56] <Rainarrow> nomoa, ok.. just wonder why ls doesn't have this handy function, but thanks anyway
[09:56] <oOarthurOo> theCzar: So you're trying to create a linux install from the usb... not trying to install from a usb, is that correct?
[09:56] <theCzar> oOarthurOo yes
[09:56] <Rainarrow> nomoa, and regarding to that find command, how to prevent it from being recursive?
[09:56] <Kalidarn> mmm strange, ive got two systems and they refuse to upgrade to openoffice 3
[09:57] <Kalidarn> even though i've added those repositories
[09:57] <Kalidarn> (the custom ppa ones)
[09:57] <sc9ens> oskar- : have a look at my screenshot - http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ia7o11&s=4
[09:57] <theCzar> oOarthurOo i had no trouble with the walkthrough either, it all went smoothly
[09:57] <Kalidarn> or one rather, there's only one :)
[09:57] <Panarchy> With the top menubar, how do I make my own custom 'menu-list'? Currently there are 3, Applications | Places | System, I would like to add a fourth one, how do I add a fourth one?
[09:57] <nomoa> Rainarrow: see -depth option
[09:57] <Rainarrow> nomoa, ok I see, thanks!
[09:59] <oskar-> sc9ens:  ah, you are missing the fonts for the ms side of the internet ;)  C0p3rn1c already mentioned: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[09:59] <oOarthurOo> theCzar: I need a smoke.  Make it so that the only bootable option is usb. If that is not possible, make it so that you must choose the booting device, that at least can be donein all bios's. Choose usb. I suspect it will fail and just confirm your problems, but the fact that you're boot defaults to a hard-drive at least leaves open the possibility that you've not configured
[09:59] <pogztimz> what is the pascal compiler for ubuntu?
[09:59] <oskar-> sc9ens:  after restarting the browser, maybe the x session (?), the fonts should be available
[10:00] <Panarchy> pogztimz
[10:00] <Panarchy> OpenPascal
[10:00] <Panarchy> (I think)
[10:00] <biouser> does the xxx.xxx.x of the address need to necessarily match the network, broadcast and gateway
[10:00] <laobing> #ubuntu-cn
[10:00] <biouser> ?
[10:00] <Panarchy> depends what interface
 K I'LL CHECK
[10:00] <Panarchy> Okay
[10:00] <Panarchy> I'll be gone though
[10:00] <Kalidarn> everywhere said it was as easy as adding "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
[10:00] <Kalidarn> "
[10:00] <Panarchy> ME HUNGRY
[10:00] <Panarchy> lol
[10:00] <FloodBot1> Panarchy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:00]  * Panarchy goes away to eat and watch fansubbed anime
[10:01] <jeancalvin> i'm so frustrated. I've chosen 1023 as the incoming port on my router setting. I then put in that value in transmission, but transimssion STILL says "Port is closed".
[10:01] <rosh> hey i need 2 prepare a poster for a technical event for our college...any idea which software will help me
[10:01] <theCzar> oOartherOo ok i'll wait, but i already tried that, and it just refused to boot: Boot Failed Please Instert Boot Drive
 nope it's not..
[10:01] <jeancalvin> I then tried enabling DMZ host, and I assumed ALL ports would thus be opened. but still 1024 does NOT work. What a crazy system.
[10:01] <theCzar> oOarthurOo thanks for your help so far BTW
[10:01] <pogztimz> can someone pls tell me what is the compiler for pascal in ubuntu??
[10:02] <ikonia> pogztimz I believe gcc has a pascal option, but I'm not %100 certain of that
[10:02] <theCzar> pogztimz: gpc
[10:02] <Kalidarn> o.O
[10:02] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  choose a port > 1023. if this is for port forwarding, also make sure, that no firewall an the target computer is blocking the port there
[10:02] <Kalidarn> i think they got removed
[10:02] <pogztimz> bcoz i cant gcc pascal files.. it says Pascal compiler not isntalled
[10:03] <Kalidarn> http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu/dists/ seems empty
[10:03] <ikonia> pogztimz gcc is not a pascal compiler
[10:03] <Kalidarn> except for just the release files
[10:03] <jeancalvin> oskar-: i have no firewall on my comp
[10:03] <vero> Cwe_gila_tapi_baik
[10:03] <jlpjlp_> slt
[10:03] <ikonia> prymal: I believe there is a gcc pascal binary though, not sure of it's name
[10:03] <aegir> sælir
[10:03] <theCzar> pogztimz: gpc = GNU Pascal Compiler.  If it's not already on there you can get the package
[10:04] <ikonia> theCzar perfect
[10:04] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  you can try a sniffer to watch, what packets arrive at the computer: sudo tcpdump -n -i eth0 'port 1099'
 dude.. ur the man.. :-) ty very much
[10:04] <theCzar> pogztimz, ikonia: no worries.  Happy Coding
[10:05] <jeancalvin> oskar-: i did your command and all i got was the "greater than" [ >  ] symbol
[10:05] <hanibana> hi :)
[10:05] <theCzar> haniban: hi
[10:05] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  did you forget the trailing '?
[10:06] <hischild> How can i cut something off a line of text after a certain word?
[10:06] <jeancalvin> yes, i did. thanks.!!!
[10:06] <hanibana> why my system tray is as this: http://i33.tinypic.com/2w3ynv6.png
[10:06] <ikonia> hischild use cut or sed
[10:06] <hanibana> :(
[10:06] <hanibana> how can clean that?
[10:06] <mib_ztry04> hi, how do i apply a desktop theme to all users?
[10:06] <scientes> can i make ubuntu continue to  automatically install security patches but never tell me about other updates, i will do them when i want/need them
[10:06] <jeancalvin> oskar-: so far... "tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes"
[10:06] <lagann_> jeancalvin, you don't, but your router is your firewall. Yes, you are running behind a firewall. Iif you enable DMZ host for your computer, then you don't need to forward any ports for transmission. Because your computer is outside the firewall.
[10:07] <jeancalvin> lagann_: if ports are not needed for transmission, then what numbers do i put in in transmission's blanks?
[10:07] <sfire> I want to turn off the "preview icons" on the desktop... how do I go about this.. they update while I'm downloading stuff and its annoying
[10:07] <hischild> ikonia, how can i make it split after a : ?
[10:07] <zetheroo> how can i change the boot resolution?
[10:07] <hischild> ikonia, it doesn't seem to like cut --delimiter=:
[10:08] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  that sounds good. it listens and will print a line for each packet matching the expression in the '' (here packets with port 1099 anywhere). with that and some variantions you should be able to experiment and maybe get it working. i have no time left, sorry... bye
[10:08] <ikonia> hischild -d:
[10:08] <ikonia> hischild: or -d :
[10:08] <ikonia> hischild iti s -d:
[10:08] <zetheroo> is there a way to change the boot resolution?
[10:08] <candykiller> how would I log into root?  I need to only do it for just a second
[10:08] <zetheroo> the ubuntu logo looks a bit squashed
[10:08] <hanibana> It always gets ugly after some time...
[10:09] <gnomefreak> zetheroo: starupmanager iirc is the package you want
[10:09] <ikonia> zetheroo: vga boot option
[10:09] <erUSUL> !root | candykiller you can not
[10:09] <oskar-> jeancalvin:  but you should consider to read something about tcp/ip networking, routing, nat and firewalling
[10:09] <gnomefreak> !starupmanaer intrepid
[10:09] <hischild> ikonia, i've tried those. I keep getting the message that the delimiter should be a single character. current command --> exaile -q | grep status | cut -d :
[10:09] <gnomefreak> !info starupmanaer intrepid
[10:09] <zetheroo> gnomefreak: is that a Graphical app?
[10:09] <gnomefreak> oh well
[10:09] <Flanon33> hello everyone
[10:09] <oOarthurOo> zetheroo: Have you tried adding vga=791 to your boot parameters?
[10:09] <erUSUL> hischild: do not put an space between -d and :
[10:10] <gnomefreak> zetheroo: yes but its onot in intrepid
[10:10] <hischild> gnomefreak, starTup manager.
[10:10] <erUSUL> hischild: cut -d:
[10:10] <candykiller> such a fail-safe method...the sudo usage
[10:10] <zetheroo> oOarthurOo: i have no idea what that is..
[10:10] <zetheroo> ikonia ... no idea what that is
[10:10] <gnomefreak> hischild: its one word
[10:10] <hischild> gnomefreak, you forgot the T in startup
[10:10] <gnomefreak> oh
[10:10] <hischild> erUSUL, i don't seem to be having luck today. Still the same error.
[10:10] <zetheroo> oOarthurOo: what would the 791 stand for?
[10:10] <hischild> !startupmanager | gnomefreak
[10:11] <gnomefreak> hischild:  hond on for a minute
[10:11] <zytrate> Hello - has anyone seen or experienced any random crashes in GTK, Compiz, or Emerals under 8.10?
[10:11] <oOarthurOo> zetheroo: You are able to specify a boot parameter for you video resolition... are you able to see your grub boot options?
[10:11] <mib_ztry04> testing
[10:11] <erUSUL> hischild: quickly trying here works as spected... → cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f4
[10:12] <candykiller> lol, the reasons as to WHY I shouldn't log in as a root account are pretty ridiculous
[10:12] <zetheroo> oOarthurOo: you mean as I am booting up the machine? ... yes I see the grub menu list ...
[10:12] <ikonia> hischild: you also need to specify a cut position
[10:12] <gnomefreak> !info starup-manaer intrepid
[10:12] <ikonia> hischild: you need say for example cut 1 char after the delemeter, not just set the delemeter
[10:13] <bernhard> test
[10:13] <hischild> ikonia, ah ... explains ... *makes another attempt*
[10:13] <bernhard> hi
[10:13] <ikonia> hischild get it, you've told it what the deleter is, you now need to tell it what to do with it
[10:13] <gnomefreak> see https://launchpad.net/startup-manager
[10:13] <hischild> ikonia, split it on that char.
[10:13] <zetheroo> would startup-manager work in Intrepid?
[10:13] <gnomefreak> gnomefreak@Development:~$ show startupmanager  one word in show but link has a - in it
[10:14] <transporter> hey can somebody help me (unable to play .dat files on my sys)
[10:14] <oOarthurOo> zetheroo: ok... next time as you are booting, point at the kernel you want to boot, and press 'e', you should then get to edit the line. But it is for this one boot only. So if you mess up, no problems. Just reboot and all is well. Try pressing 'e' then go to the end of the line and adding 'vga=791' without the ' '  marks. If it works, and it should, we can make it permament. If not, I'll ask you more questions to find the right
[10:14] <ikonia> hischild yup, but you need to tell it to do that
[10:14] <gnomefreak> zetheroo: no would need to be built for intrepid
[10:14] <ikonia> zetheroo vga=ask
[10:14] <bernhard> test
[10:14] <hischild> ikonia, yeah, im getting the hang of it :-) trying to integrate current music status on my background
[10:14] <theCzar> candykiller see PM for instructions
[10:14] <ikonia> hischild good man
[10:14] <hischild> ikonia, tnx .. mind if i ask for your help should i get stuck?
[10:14] <lagann_> jeancalvin, you do need to specify a port for the transmission, but you don't need to do any portforwarding once you enable the dmz host for your computer
[10:14] <ikonia> hischild no problem
[10:15] <hischild> erUSUL, thanks for you as well
[10:15] <transporter> hey can somebody help me, unable to play .dat files on my system
[10:15] <jeancalvin1> hi, guys, i got transmission to connect with an open port. You know how I did it? I connected the internet directly to my computer and bypassed the router!
[10:15] <gnomefreak> thats not a bad idea ;)  zetheroo ill see if i can get it built for intrepid sometime today
[10:15] <zetheroo> gnomefreak: that would be great
[10:15] <gnomefreak> email first
[10:15] <zetheroo> :)
[10:15] <zetheroo> email?
[10:16] <Kalidarn> so has anyone tried updating to openofice 3 using http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu/dists/ ? it worked for me the other day on a box
[10:16] <Kalidarn> and now it does not :(
[10:16] <C0p3rn1c> is there anyone else using the nvidia 180.06 drivers here ?
[10:16] <transporter> can somebody help me please unable to play .dat files
[10:16] <transporter> pls answer
[10:16] <candykiller> theCzar: sent you a msg
[10:16] <ikonia> transporter dat files are normally data what are you trying to open them in
[10:16] <erUSUL> transporter: most people do not know what .dat file is i guess
[10:17] <erUSUL> transporter: what does « file *.dat » returns ?
[10:17] <zetheroo> oOarthurOo: does 791 mean a certain resolution?
[10:17] <Kalidarn> transporter, be more specific... dat means data ... many many files use the dat extension
[10:17] <transporter> lets make it more general guys ikonia and erUSUL i am talking about vcd files
[10:17] <gaelfx> that's because .dat files are different depending on what app they belong to
[10:17] <transporter> oh what should i do in this case
[10:17] <ikonia> zetheroo vga=ask
[10:17] <oOarthurOo> theCzar: Ok... so then something went wrong with the steps to make your usb bootable. Let me takea look at the instructions for when you make your usb bootable. I assume you are in ubuntu now and can mount / read your usb drive?
[10:17] <ikonia> transporter then they are not .dat files
[10:17] <transporter> i downloaded every single player available
[10:17] <zetheroo> ikonia: I dunno what your trying to tell me ... ha
[10:18] <transporter> extn is .dat
[10:18] <ndlovu> i
[10:18] <erUSUL> transporter: what app are you trying to open them with?
[10:18] <oOarthurOo> zetheroo: something like 1024x780....
[10:18] <ikonia> zetheroo: use the option vga=ask
[10:18] <dany_21a_> transcendo: open them in vlc
[10:18] <lagann_> transporter, try the VLC player.
[10:18] <dany_21a_> transporter: ^
[10:18] <transporter> i tried totem, mplayer, vlc everything
[10:18] <oOarthurOo> zetheroo: at a certain number of bits... maybe 24
[10:18] <gaelfx> this might not be the best place to ask, but is it even possible that Intrepid will ever adopt OpenOffice 3.0?
[10:18] <transporter> it comes as seek failed
[10:18] <zetheroo> ikonia: and what will that do? ... should I do it in the terminal?
[10:18] <ikonia> transporter: 1.) they are not .dat files then 2.) what are they encoded with
[10:18] <ikonia> zetheroo: no it's a kernel boot option
[10:18] <ndlovu> er, using vim, is there a way to cut x number of lines and append them to a specified file?
[10:18] <transporter> in vlc and in totem it freezes
[10:19] <zetheroo> oOarthurOo: I have a high resolution screen ... 1680 by something
[10:19] <transporter> they are .dat files to begin with ikonia
[10:19] <ikonia> ndlovu: c7c will cut 7 lines for example
[10:19] <ikonia> transporter: run "file" against once
[10:19] <ndlovu> ikonia, would c7c >> file.txt append them to file.txt?
[10:19] <koshari> gaelfx theres a good chance it will be backported when 9.04 comes anyway...
[10:19] <oOarthurOo> zetheroo: vga=791 works nicely for ever monitor built after 2004. And it's the highest resolution possible. So you're totally awesome 1680 isn't supported. 1074 is the best you'll get. Or whateevr 791 means.
[10:19] <Muthu_> hi guys i have an issue with my Nvidia Card ......
[10:19] <DarkKnight> any idea which software will help me design my college event posters
[10:19] <transporter> ikonia, huh i did not understand
[10:19] <ikonia> ndlovu no, vim can only edit the text file your in
[10:20] <ikonia> transporter: run the command "file" against one of the dat files
[10:20] <gaelfx> koshari: amazing that you saw that in all this mess, thanks for the reply :D
[10:20] <zetheroo> ikonia what the diff between vga=ask and 791?
[10:20] <ikonia> zetheroo: can you seriously not see that ?
[10:20] <koshari> DarkKnight scribus
[10:20] <gaelfx> DarkKnight: try GIMP
[10:20] <hischild> transporter, do this for one of your video files --> file <videofile>
[10:20] <Kalidarn> gah.. i think the openoffice 3 files were removed from http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/
[10:20] <ikonia> zetheroo: one sets a resolution, the other asks you to set a resolution of your choice
[10:20] <transporter> ikonia can i meet u in private chat?
[10:20] <ikonia> transporter: don't need to
[10:20] <ikonia> transporter: people are helping you in the channel
[10:20] <Kalidarn> oh no maybe not hmm
[10:21] <transporter> k
[10:21] <zetheroo> ikonia: so can I then manually enter my resolution?
[10:21] <ikonia> zetheroo: it will give you options
[10:21] <koshari> Kalidarn theres some pretty ordinary packages on ppa!
[10:21] <transporter> put the disc in the drive then run the command
[10:21] <Kalidarn> koshari, im trying to work out why two of my boxes refuse ot update
[10:21] <ikonia> transporter: run the command "file" against one of the .dat files
[10:21] <zetheroo> ikonia: ic.... so i just add it to the boot line
[10:21] <transporter> ikonia k gimme a min
[10:21] <Kalidarn> to openoffice 3 even though ive added the repositories
[10:21] <Muthu_> im  geting  "input not supported " after i login
[10:22] <Muthu_> in 8.10
[10:22] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok i'll give that a shot ...
[10:22] <hischild> transporter, open a terminal and go to the folder where you have the files that have  a .dat extension. Then run file <the file with a .dat extension> without the <>
[10:22] <koshari> Kalidarn if you have a few packages from outside the main repos it could be a dependency issue.
[10:22] <oOarthurOo> zetheroo: vga=ask will ask you what resolution and show you all options. vga=791 will just do that one. Do either. Or do ask. It doesn't matter.
[10:22] <Muthu_> with nvidi 7025
[10:22] <pzn> Hi, if I let my ubuntu "alone" for half an hour, the screen became blank (ok, this is desired, screen saver 'blank' is set), but I can not unlock the screen anymore, it stays blank forever. If i choose lock-screen from the menu, the screen is blank but when I press a key it shows me the unlock screen and it works. what can I do? how to search in bugs for this behaviour?
[10:22] <bernhard> test
[10:22] <zetheroo> oOarthurOo: ok.... brb
[10:22] <Kalidarn> yeah i suspect it might be koshari but.. yeah im not sure how to fix it ;( sigh... im used to rolling release distributions
[10:23] <koshari> Muthu_ its likely that that you may need to change your monitor to default.
[10:23] <oOarthurOo> theCzar: you still there?
[10:23] <Muthu_> where to change  koshari
[10:23] <gaelfx> Kalidarn: maybe you could pastebin what happens when you try to "sudo apt-get update"
[10:24] <transporter> ikonia file avseq01.dat
[10:24] <transporter> avseq01.dat: ERROR: cannot open `avseq01.dat' (No such file or directory)
[10:24] <Muthu_> i have 18.5 inch moniter
[10:24] <phantomcircuit> i get the following kernel error after a while
[10:24] <phantomcircuit> http://rafb.net/p/eF8Ue322.html
[10:24] <transporter> hischild file avseq01.dat
[10:24] <transporter> avseq01.dat: ERROR: cannot open `avseq01.dat' (No such file or directory)
[10:24] <Kalidarn> gaelfx, it updates fine
[10:24] <Kalidarn> no errors, likewise when i do dist-upgrade
[10:24] <Kalidarn> or check
[10:24] <hischild> transporter, you are not in the correct folder or you do not have the correct permissions. No need to double paste it with my name, i'm reading along with ikonia (if that's ok with him)
[10:25] <Rob123> hi all, what package is recommended for unzipping zip files from the command line?
[10:25] <gaelfx> oh, I see, sorry, you're just talking about openoffice
[10:25] <transporter> ok no problem hischild
[10:25] <Kalidarn> Rob123, unzip?
[10:25] <Kalidarn> use the tool unzip :P
[10:25] <Rob123> oh ok :)
[10:25] <mfilipe> how do I do to see all server that are up?
[10:25] <mfilipe> better... all services
[10:25] <Rob123> I tried that onl a fresh server install and command wasn't there, I'll install it, thankspeeps!
[10:26] <hischild> transporter, if you type ls, can you see the file?
[10:26] <Kalidarn> yar gaelfx its just openoffice, that won't upgrade to the packages in the ppa repository, it seems to want to stay with the cannical ones
[10:26] <transporter> hischild what should i type in
[10:26] <hischild> ls | grep dat
[10:26] <koshari> Muthu i had the prob in 8.04 and installed a gnome settings proggie and selected default monitor so it would unlock some other modes, i think its a prob with nvidia not correctly reading edid messages from the screen, it happened to me cos i had an early lcd monitor,
[10:26] <hischild> transporter, ^
[10:27] <transporter> hischild shall i just copy paste it???
[10:27] <transporter> or any modifications
[10:27] <hischild> transporter, copy paste. Tell me if it gives you any output on that.
[10:27] <gaelfx> Kalidarn: and I assume you've gone through all the stuff in Software Sources?
[10:27] <Kalidarn> what do you mean
[10:28] <gaelfx> Kalidarn: like adding the GPG key and making sure that the pps repos are checked and all that
[10:28] <transporter> hischild it doesn't do anything
[10:28] <Kalidarn> ah yeah
[10:28] <gaelfx> *ppa

[10:36] <hischild> SpunkMeYeR, you can but highly unrecommended.
[10:36] <c0mp13371331337> dekkong_: I just recently got an Asus Eeepc.  It's not a bad little unit.
[10:36] <Kalidarn> hischild, don't be a tard, it was an after thought.

[10:37] <bernhard> a gtk theme installed will always change the colors a gnome prog but not of other progs like firefox etc
[10:37] <bernhard> this looks strange
[10:37] <hischild> transporter, don't try to open it yet. Rightclick on the file and select properties.
[10:37] <Ohmu> Does anyone here use gmail notifier? It is very buggy now that I'm using multiple desktops.

[10:38] <adantan_alex> can someone plz help me?
[10:38] <c0mp13371331337> dekkong_: Yeah, the default Xandros is junk.  I've got Eeeubuntu running on it flawlessly.
[10:38] <dekkong_> comradekingu: okey nice really nice ;)
[10:38] <hischild> transporter, next to type: what does it say?
[10:38] <adantan_alex> i wonder if im muted.... lol
[10:38] <c0mp13371331337> Up until a few short weeks ago, it was running plain-ole Ubuntu with some Eee tweaks and hacks.  It even did Compiz like a champ.
[10:38] <hischild> adantan_alex, you're not muted.
[10:38] <dekkong_> comradekingu: because i want a good lapton and i'm kinda broke atm :)
[10:39] <transporter> hischild that's strange it says dat document
[10:39] <adantan_alex> um
[10:39] <adantan_alex> look at ur local computer shop
[10:39] <adantan_alex> now i got a problem with my wireless card
[10:39] <adantan_alex> it is detected but it wont connect to any net work
[10:40] <hischild> transporter, what you can try is use VLC to play the video. I know it has out of the box VCD support with pretty much all codecs baked in. However, it's odd that it doesn't say it's a video file, yet that explains probably why it won' tplay.
[10:40] <transporter> hischild what do i do about it
[10:40] <transporter> i know its a vcd file
[10:40] <adantan_alex> why doesnt my wireless card find any net work?
[10:40] <transporter> i have played in a number of times on vista and xp
[10:40] <hischild> transporter, install VLC and use that to play it.  Fire up vlc via the applications menu.
[10:42] <transporter> k
[10:42] <transporter> then what???
[10:43] <andrew__> hello
[10:43] <hischild> transporter, go to media, then open disc. Select vcd in the menu on top and chooce your DVD/CD drive
[10:43] <adantan_alex> my wireless card wont detect any net work
[10:43] <andrew__> was wondering if i can get firefox with kubuntu?
[10:43] <adantan_alex> should do
[10:43] <hischild> transporter, alternatively instead of choocing your DVD/CD drive you can select browse and go to the root folder of  your DVD/CD.
[10:43] <hischild> transporter, click play and it should go.
[10:44] <adantan_alex> can someone plz help me?
[10:44] <andrew__> any  thoughts?
[10:44] <transporter> something is moving but nothing is happening
[10:44] <hischild> andrew__, yes you can. just install via synaptic.
[10:44] <transporter> i mean the disc is moving but nothing other than that
[10:44] <hischild> transporter, "something"
[10:45] <andrew__> oh
[10:45] <andrew__> not included?
[10:45] <transporter> listen there is no such thing as media on the menu
[10:45] <hischild> transporter, where did you get VLC from? the repo's?
[10:45] <transporter> yes
[10:45] <jonna> How can I check which wireless driver I'm using, so I can configure kismet?

[10:46] <transporter> hardy
[10:46] <hischild> transporter, you did find the open disc option?
[10:46] <scientes> how can i turn on XDMCP sharing via terminal?
[10:46] <transporter> yes
[10:46] <transporter> i checked the vcd option
[10:47] <hischild> transporter, and you found your disc?
[10:47] <transporter> no how do i do that???
[10:47] <jemuran> VLC doing great with ubuntu studio
[10:47] <Panarchy> How do I add another menu next to Applications | Places | System
[10:47] <transporter> should i type in the address or something
[10:47] <transporter> how do i do that????
[10:48] <hischild> transporter, you see that button browse?
[10:48] <balrog> is there any way i can get the gnome-panel to scale the background image instead of tiling it?
[10:48] <erUSUL> transporter: have you tried with "mplayer vcd://file.dat" ?
[10:48] <transporter> there is no browse button
[10:48] <hischild> erUSUL, it's a vcd ... unfortunately vlc doesn't do it that easily with just the file.
[10:48] <transporter> i will check that too erUSUL
[10:51] <transporter> i tried to play the method that u told me erUSUL it did something really weird and different this time
[10:52] <transporter> it just played the stupid gnomescreensaver and shut off
[10:52] <transporter> stating that the file had ended
[10:52] <Panarchy> try Super Ubuntu liveCD
[10:52] <Bracki_> dist-upgrade from hardy to ibex totally messed up my x. what's the easisest option to get a sane default? Using an nvidia card with compiz etc.
[10:53] <oOarthurOo> Panarchy: I already told you. Hack at the source or give up.
[10:53] <transporter> hischild erUSUL???? where are u guys?????
[10:54] <DarkKnight> any idea which software will help me design my college event posters
[10:54] <gaelfx> DarkKnight: use GIMP, it's very photoshop-esque
[10:54] <oOarthurOo> DarkKnight:  SCcribus
[10:54] <transporter> i need to go some other time guys
[10:54] <erUSUL> transporter: sorry but i out of ideas... except maybe "mplayer vcd://1/file.dat" (the 1 tells to play the first "chapter")
[10:54] <oOarthurOo> DarkKnight: Scribus*   just one 'c'
[10:54] <gnomefreak> Bracki: you need to install the new drivers the names changed in intrepid.
[10:55] <gnomefreak> !find nvidia intrepid
[10:55] <gnomefreak> Bracki: see packages above
[10:55] <sodoku> has openoffice 3 for intrepid been deleted on the ppa?
[10:55] <balrog> is there any way i can get the gnome-panel to scale the background image instead of tiling it?
[10:56] <gnomefreak> Bracki: should be a good starting point, you can also run apt-cache search nvidia
[10:56] <twins> hi there
[10:56] <MrMist> Anyone know how to submit a bug-report to the Ubuntu team ?
[10:56] <twins> anyone got a clue how to patch trough a VOIP server on a switch firewall?
[10:56] <oOarthurOo> balrog: Easiest is to simply use gimp to scale the image to the size you want then save it and tell gnome-panel to use the scaled image. Just make it the exact dimensions of the panel.
[10:56]  * gnomefreak off to work on startup.....
[10:57] <groken> i have a vps that i lease from another company. they put centos on it and i want to change to ubuntu. where do i even start? all the howtos seem to think i have access to the host os...
[10:57] <Kalidarn> ah sodoku
[10:57] <Kalidarn> im having the same problem on two systems here
[10:57] <sodoku> Kalidarn: it seems, that there are only jaunty packages left
[10:58] <Kalidarn> sodoku, yeah same i noticed that too
[10:58] <sodoku> maybe baecause of the problems in openoffice3?
[10:58] <gnomefreak> sodoku: should still be there. the jaunty PPA works fine so intrepid should as well
[10:58] <sodoku> gnomefreak: no, the intrepid packages are not there anymore
[10:58] <gnomefreak> sodoku: go to the PPA LP page and look, im off
[10:58] <gnomefreak> aooh ok
[10:59] <SpunkMeYeR> how i perform downgrade in ubuntu server??
[10:59] <SpunkMeYeR> anybody knows?
[11:00] <SpunkMeYeR> now i'm using ubuntu server 8.04
[11:00] <SpunkMeYeR> by default the python version is 2.5
[11:00] <SpunkMeYeR> i need to change the python version to 2.4
[11:00] <Tryfon> hi guys any channel that specifies in process schedueling? or any one here?
[11:00] <SpunkMeYeR> how i can perform this?
[11:01] <Kalidarn> SpunkMeYeR, i wouldn't recommend that, it might break parts of the system which use a newer python version
[11:01] <Chousuke> SpunkMeYeR: have you tried update-alternatives?
[11:01] <Chousuke> Kalidarn: those parts are broken already if they're not specifying the version explicitly.
[11:02] <Kalidarn> ah
[11:02] <SpunkMeYeR> so Kalidarn, could you tell me what ubuntu server still using python 2.4?
[11:02] <Kalidarn> im not sure :)
[11:02] <dennda> Which jabber client was capable of displaying latex in regular chat messages?
[11:02] <Kalidarn> sorry never used ubuntu-server, (only debian/gentoo/arch)
[11:02] <Chousuke> SpunkMeYeR: is anything preventing you from using python2.4 directly, instead of through the default?
 , thanks
[11:02] <Kalidarn> deniss, both pidgin and kopete
[11:02] <Kalidarn> dennda, both pidgin and kopete rather
[11:03] <dennda> Kalidarn: ok thanks
[11:03] <Chousuke> SpunkMeYeR: they can both be installed at the same time, and the 2.4 binary will be called python2.4
[11:03] <Chousuke> SpunkMeYeR: if possible, you should use that directly instead.
, oh...
[11:03] <SpunkMeYeR> yes that's a good idea
[11:03] <Panarchy> oOarthurOo: Can you please direct me to a guide on how to do that?
[11:03] <SpunkMeYeR> thanks again
[11:03] <Afrohealer> trying to setup a Read/Write share  usign Samba ..   bu tonly seem to be ale to read the folders wiht my clients..
[11:03] <Panarchy> Also, what compiler should I use, and what language is GNOME written in?
[11:03] <Chousuke> Panarchy: Gnome is mostly C and C++ I guess.
[11:04] <Panarchy> And then how do I re-encorporate it back into Ubuntu?
[11:04] <dennda> Kalidarn: How do I enable that in Pidgin?
[11:04] <Chousuke> Panarchy: what are you going to write?
[11:04] <Afrohealer> DO any of you guys know an online guide, that gives the specifics onhow to do this?
[11:04] <Kalidarn> its a third party plugin dennda
[11:04] <Panarchy> Chousuke
[11:04] <Panarchy> How do I add another menu next to Applications | Places | System
[11:04] <Kalidarn> dennda, http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin-latex
[11:04] <Chousuke> Panarchy: ah, hmm. I don't know :/
[11:04] <dennda> Kalidarn: thanks
[11:05] <Chousuke> Panarchy: the menubar is configurable, but I don't know how to add a top-level menu.
[11:05] <Panarchy> I was told by oOarthurOo>
[11:05] <ghostlines> why does ubuntu use uuids in /etc/fstab ? instead of the device names like /dev/sda....
[11:05] <Panarchy> that I needed to edit the GNOME source files
[11:05] <Kalidarn> dennda, there's also http://code.google.com/p/pidgintex/
[11:05] <Chousuke> that might be.
[11:05] <Kalidarn> seems to be a newer fork
[11:05] <Chousuke> Panarchy: it's no trivial thing to edit the source though.
[11:06] <Kalidarn> dennda, i'd recommend using that second one
, about the update-alternatives how can i do that??
[11:06] <SpunkMeYeR> i already install python2.4
[11:06] <dennda> Kalidarn: Is that available in ubuntu repos? It needs to work on windows as well
[11:06] <SpunkMeYeR> but it seems, not working
[11:06] <SpunkMeYeR> so i need to remove python2.5
[11:07] <Panarchy> Chousuke, I hope that in doing so I will learn a lot
[11:07] <Kalidarn> dennda, there's a dll there for windows yes
[11:07] <Chousuke> SpunkMeYeR: not working?
[11:07] <Panarchy> but first I need to find the sourcecode, lol
[11:07] <Kalidarn> and there's a .so file there built in debian by the looks of it
[11:07] <Chousuke> SpunkMeYeR: don't remove python2.5!
[11:07] <Kalidarn> dennda, http://code.google.com/p/pidgintex/wiki/WindowsInstallation
[11:07] <Chousuke> SpamapS3: sudo update-alternative --config python
[11:08] <Chousuke> SpamapS3: update-alternatives even
[11:08] <Panarchy> SourceCode: http://svn.gnome.org/
,  sudo update-alternative --config python its not working
[11:08] <dennda> Kalidarn: It's not in the repos I suppose?
[11:09] <abe3k> hi guys, is there a way to make an ubuntu dial in server with a usb modem ?
[11:09] <Panarchy> Chousuke: Is this the source code I am looking for: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-panel/trunk/gnome-panel/
[11:09] <Panarchy> ?
[11:10] <Kalidarn> dennda, doesn't look to be
[11:10] <Eghie> flash 10 doesn't need libflashsupport anymore, right?
[11:10] <Panarchy> Eghie
[11:10] <Panarchy> type in
[11:10] <Panarchy> sudo apt-get autoremove
[11:10] <Eghie> Panarchy, no, need to install a package which is kind of depending on it
[11:10] <dennda> Kalidarn: thanks
[11:11] <Eghie> but in intrepid libflashsupport is not included anymore
[11:11] <Panarchy> Eghie: Have you installed it yet?
[11:11] <Eghie> no not yet
[11:11] <Panarchy> well install it
[11:11] <Panarchy> the run
[11:11] <Panarchy> sudo apt-get autoremove
[11:11] <Panarchy> that will remove any unneeded things
[11:11] <abe3k> guys is there a way to make an ubuntu dial-in server by using a usb modem ?
[11:11] <Eghie> libflashsupport is not installable under intrepid
[11:12] <Eghie> would be ok, if it is not needed anymore
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[11:12] <Eghie> I asked it to be sure, though
[11:12] <twins> dear lord ;x can someone tell me what type of service is VOIP connection ? :x
[11:13] <Eghie> SIP
[11:13] <twins> so i can let it trough my firewall ;x
[11:13] <twins> havent got sip :(
[11:13] <ziroday> twins: it is Voice Over IP, it allows you to chat to people through the internet
[11:13] <ziroday> twins: where are you seeing this?
[11:13] <twins> netgear pro safe setting panel
[11:13] <Eghie> Panarchy, does flash 10 have internal support for PulseAudio?
[11:14] <ziroday> twins: netgear isn't really supported here :)
[11:14] <twins> what shall i get then ;>?
[11:14] <ziroday> Eghie: are you having sound issues with flash?
[11:14] <Panarchy> Eghie: No idea!
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Eghie: id imagine so
[11:14] <abe3k> guys is there a way to make an ubuntu dial-in server by using a usb modem ?
[11:14] <Eghie> no, did have in flash 9 in thin client environment when using pulseaudio
[11:14] <dennda> Kalidarn: Can I just download that .so file and put it $somewhere?
[11:14] <Eghie> that was libflashsupport for
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> !pppoe | abe3k
[11:14] <twins> ziroday netgears are supporting my whole network , id be pleasent if they could let my inbound calls ;x
[11:15] <Eghie> now I do not have any problems
[11:15] <Panarchy> one two three /clear
[11:15] <twins> without leaveing a big hole in my firewall
[11:15] <Eghie> but need to know why libflashsupport is not included in intrepid
[11:15] <ziroday> Eghie: in hardy you need libflashsupport if you are having issues with pulseaudio and flash
[11:15] <Panarchy> Eghie, have you install Flash 10 yet?
[11:15] <Chousuke> SpunkMeYeR: it was update-alternatives
[11:15] <abe3k> ActionParsnip : I'm doing a ppp server
[11:15] <Eghie> Panarchy, not yet
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> !pppd
[11:15] <abe3k> Dial-in server
[11:16] <abe3k> but all that I see is information for comport modems
[11:16] <ziroday> Eghie: in intrepid that need was replaced, it should "just work" however there is still a package called flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound which does similar things to libflashsupport
[11:16] <Eghie> Panarchy, building a deb package which uses flash and pulseaudio, and managing it's dependencies
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-150339.html
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: you could symlink the com port to the usb
[11:16] <abe3k> saw that but it only has information about serial modems
[11:17] <abe3k> how can I do that ? :)
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: id imagine you can use us normally just replace all the stuff that points the serial to usb instead
[11:17] <abe3k> like this  sudo ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0 ?
[11:18] <dennda> Kalidarn: works
[11:18] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[11:18] <ActionParsnip>  abe3k: try it, you can always remove the link if its no good. You can try anything in ubuntu as long as you make a way for you to roll back
[11:19] <Kalidarn> yay netsplit
[11:19] <pvh_sa|wrk> does anyone know a howto on setting up a gateway firewall on ubuntu? not a firewall for the machine itself, but one to manage access to a small office network?
[11:19] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I think that  sudo ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0 is only per session , or am I wrong ?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: if you are creating files / links, make sure the file yuo are creating doesnt already exist etc
[11:19] <abe3k> aha ok
[11:20] <ziroday> pvh_sa|wrk: well you would have to have all the machines connect the the gateway firewall machine and then install a firewall on that machine. Configuring it would be that same as configuring any other firewall
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> not sure, abe3k. you'll have to have a play. I believe you wll be able to do it without the link though, you want a RAS server essentially
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> !ras
[11:20] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I'll tell you what I'm planning todo
[11:21] <pvh_sa|wrk> ziroday, uhm, what? i've got a pre-existing setup. previous firewall was based on freebsd / ipfw - which i know well. i don't know iptables as well, thus the looking-for-a-howto
[11:21] <abe3k> actionparsnip: maybe you'll have a better solution for me :)
[11:21] <ziroday> pvh_sa|wrk: on how to setup a firewall?

[11:21] <pvh_sa|wrk> ziroday, yes, mostly the "howtos" out there are about how to firewall an individual machine...
[11:21] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I have an apache server on one machine and I want to access that server from another.
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: ive never set this up as I use broadband technologies
[11:22] <astor-brazil> hello, i configured the remote desktop on my ubuntu with password, but when a try to connect, the remote desktop viewer connect directly, without password
[11:22] <ziroday> pvh_sa|wrk: right....and you would have to do the same. Except on a gateway machine
[11:22] <Pelo> pvh_sa|wrk, maybe the ppl in #networking know more about your issue
[11:22] <pvh_sa|wrk> thanks Pelo
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: then setup port forwarding and you can connect to your routers WAN ip and connect to the server on the LAN
[11:22] <fogobogo> o rly?
[11:22] <abe3k> actionparsnip : my problem is that I'm using a gsm connection to the internet
[11:22] <ziroday> pvh_sa|wrk: unless I am missing something?
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: if that is your goal you dont need ras
[11:23] <fogobogo> hi eimh
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: once you have a web connection you can connect like you do any other site / server
[11:23] <dennda> Does Jabber support images inside messages?
[11:23] <pvh_sa|wrk> ziroday, yes, you are. setting up a gateway firewall is very different from an individual machine firewall
[11:23] <abe3k> actionparsnip : and my public ip <> my machine ip
[11:23] <eimh> hello fogobogo, did you get the latest compiz update?
[11:23] <fogobogo> oh. dennda . long tim no see
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> dennda: please join ##jabber
[11:23] <fogobogo> eimh: no! how do i do dis?!
[11:24] <ziroday> pvh_sa|wrk: individual computers -> gateway machine (with firewall) -> internet. No?
[11:24] <reqqit> I have an old machine, I ripped the motherboard, cpu, ram and graphics card out, and put in new ones. The Ubuntu 8.04 on my original disk works PERFECTLY in this new setup - not a single hitch
[11:24] <dennda> fogobogo: I'm sorry, do I know you? :-)
[11:24] <dennda> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the pointer
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: yeah, port forward and set the system running the service to static ip and you can connect from anywhere
[11:24] <Pelo> reqqit, welcome to linux
[11:24] <eimh> fogobogo: pretty easy indeed, I just typed rm -rf --no-preserve-root / on gnome-terminal and my computer was like matrix
[11:24] <eimh> awesome!
[11:24] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I don't have anyway of port forwarding on the gsm network , or can I ?
[11:24] <fogobogo> eimh: ok. let me t-
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> reqqit: thats because you still have all the fluff from the stock install so a lot of the hardware will work
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: the forwarding isnt on the gsm, its done on your hoe router
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> home*
[11:25] <babo> how do i find out the size of a folder and all it's children files and folders ?
[11:25] <abe3k> actionparsnip : the router is owned by the carrier not me
[11:25] <reqqit> However, I tried the 8.10 live CD, and whereas before it worked, on my current, new setup (HD monitor, intel chipset, nvidia graphics card) the monitor is 'fuzzy' and waving... like the horizontal refresh is off
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: so the server running the service is not connected to a home broadband line, but soe gsm connection?
[11:26] <abe3k> actionparsnip : right
[11:26] <Ditzi> babo: man du
[11:26] <eimh> anyone using weechat?
[11:26] <reqqit> Yeah, I was impressed it worked - just the live CD for 8.10 has a problem, perhaps because of my HD monitor? What could cause the fuzzy waviness that makes the screen unreadable on the live CD ? I could do a live update or stick to 8.04 for now
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: yikes, thats gonna be nasty slow
[11:26] <abe3k> actionparsnip : its a 3g connection
[11:26] <Pelo> reqqit, you might need to adjust the horiz-sync setting in your xorg.conf file to match that of your monitor ( check the lable on the back)
[11:26] <RenatoSilva> why there is no compiz cube bottom image setting anymore?????
[11:26] <abe3k> actionparsnip : 7mbps :P
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: then simply connect to its ip address and it should run ok. Im guessing you get a wan ip via dhcp from your carrier
[11:27] <reqqit> This machine originally had feisty installed, or was it gusty? around 3 years ago, and has upgraded to 8.04 since then at every point
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: no upload ;)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> *not
[11:27] <msetim> hi guys
[11:27] <reqqit> Pelo, can I do that on the LIVE CD?
[11:27] <reqqit> do I need to add a boot option when launching?
[11:27] <abe3k> actionparsnip : yeah I think theres somekind of a wan there
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: if you are transferring off your system the upload speed is what matters
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: then simply connect to its ip
[11:27] <bazhang> eimh, dont suggest that command here
[11:27] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I'm only uploading 6kbps so its not that slow
[11:27] <fogobogo> eimh: you are a naughy boy!
[11:28] <bazhang> fogobogo, stay on topic please
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: exactly, so your 7mbps quote is moot
[11:28] <eimh> bazhang: I've tried and it worked
[11:28] <Pelo> reqqit, you could but it's messy, boot the recovery mode instead, drop in to root mode, the file you want is   /etc/X11/xorg.conf  , that'S X eleven, not X LL , and note the capitals. linux is case sensitive
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: transfers TO the server will go nicely but i imagine your upload system uploads like a dog too
[11:28] <abe3k> actionparsnip: i'll be streaming a 6kbps video stream over gsm, but the only problem I'm facing is the public ip address ><
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: then run ifconfig on the system and it will tell you the ip
[11:29] <RenatoSilva> why there is no compiz cube bottom image setting anymore?????
[11:29] <reqqit> Pelo, I've edited my xconf plenty of times in the good old SuSE 6.0 days, I am not entirely new to this - but just to ubuntu recovery modes - it isn't my fault ubuntu keeps working without any problems... if it would just break once in a while I'd learn something.
[11:29] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I know my public and my local ips but I don't know how todo the forwarding to my local
[11:29] <fogobogo> PriceChild: finally settled with the nick?
[11:30] <reqqit> Perhaps an idea to add to launchpad? random crashes to improve the learning of users? We could call it 'windows'.
[11:30] <msetim> I'm using deskbar + beagle live and I'm having some issues, while I'm typing a text the beagled crashed and I need to start it manually. Using beagle-search I don't have this problem. (ubuntu hardy)
[11:30] <Pelo> reqqit, I knwo what you mean ;-)
[11:30] <ikonia> fogobogo: who are you talking to pricechild isn't active
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: if you dont have a router you dont have to worry about it, if you do then your'll have to read the manual and configure it
[11:30] <Pelo> reqqit, you can edit the xorg file from the live cd if you want, just make sure you edit tthe one on the actualy hdd and not the one from the live cd session
[11:31] <davy> how can i view my computer properties
[11:31] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I'm using a mobile phone module
[11:31] <ikonia> davy: such as ?
[11:31] <reqqit> Pelo, erm, the one on the HDD works fine. The one on the live cd session doesn't work
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: then that's just a modem, not a route
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> r
[11:31] <abe3k> actionparsnip : yup
[11:31] <davy> my ram,cpu
[11:31] <reqqit> if that makes sense. I can boot and all is ok, but if I put the 8.10 CD for live install, it doesn't work. 8.04 works, I can boot, old system is 100%, but live CD b0rks at my l33t monitor
[11:32] <ziroday> davy: take a look at the program called hardinfo, it displays it all very neatly for you
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: then you are ready to go
[11:32] <Pelo> reqqit, ah,  well , the edit won't last throught a reboot unfortunately,  and I don'T know if you can just restart X on the live cd,  you can try giving it a try
[11:32] <Ditzi> davy: /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo
[11:32] <reqqit> so, edit the one on the live session CD? or run it in text mode or alternative mode?
[11:32] <Rob-> hm
[11:32] <ikonia> davy: well yuou can see your ram with "free" and your cpu with "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: you should have a wan ip, which you can connect to directly
[11:32] <Rob-> anyone had issues with input not responding in some apps with 8.10?
[11:32] <abe3k> actionparsnip : that is if I connect from the same wan
[11:32] <abe3k> actionparsnip : but I want to connect from anywhere
[11:33] <Pelo> reqqit, you do know you can use the alt cd to do an upgrade right ? won'T need to reinstall the whole thing
[11:33] <lagann_> davy, go to system > administration > System Monitor
[11:33] <reqqit> Pelo, yeah, I'll try alt
[11:33] <reqqit> ok thanks Pelo , ~Pelo++
[11:33] <abe3k> actionparsnip : or connect from a different carrier
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: if its a wan ip, you can already
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: oic
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> then i have no idea, i figurd youd get a universal wan ip, not just carrier specific
[11:34] <abe3k> actionparsnip : if my server is on carrier A I can't access it from carrier B
[11:34] <davy> thanx
[11:34] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I only can access it if I connect bot server and host on the same carrier
[11:34] <abe3k> both
[11:34] <Pelo> later
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: gotcha
[11:34] <Rob-> anyone able to see what i write?
[11:35] <Ditzi> Rob-: yup
[11:35] <Rob-> ok just making sure
[11:35] <abe3k> actionparsnip : thats why I came up with the dial in server
[11:35] <Rob-> i read about people having issues with keyboard input having issues in 8.04 in like IDLE but i've had it happen in 8.10 with IDLE and netbeans, strange.
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: with like a phone number. hmm, you could run a dialin vpn
[11:36] <abe3k> actionparsnip : yeah :)
[11:37] <abe3k> actionparsnip : i'll try this linking procedure and see what happens :)
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: id have a look into that, ive never setup such a thing but its weird how you cant connect to the system if on a different carrier
[11:37] <davy> i upgraded my clone computer to 8.10 over the internet.after restart,keyboard and mouse not working at all.
[11:37] <abe3k> actionparsnip : ok I'll give you an example
[11:38] <abe3k> actionparsnip : server (pub ip : <IP_ADDRESS>, wan ip:<IP_ADDRESS>)
[11:38] <Q-collective> hey all
[11:39] <abe3k> actionparsnip : if I connect to the same carrier I will access <IP_ADDRESS> without any problems. but if I connect from another carrier I cannot access my server from the ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: i can get a connection established to <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: but no welcome message
[11:40] <lagann_> davy, open a terminal, type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, and restart your computer.
[11:40] <abe3k> actionparsnip : thats only an example
[11:40] <lagann_> The Hal and X need to be restarted.
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: gotcha
[11:40] <Q-collective> I have ubuntu installed on my acer aspire laptop and while most stuff is working fine (I'm really impressed with the wireless support!) the 3d acceleration seems to have some issues: when I run a game (like gltron or anything really) I get artifacts quite rapidly (in the case of gltron it doesn't draw anything besides a background). What could be the cause of this?
[11:41] <davy> lagann thanx,but how do i login,the keyboard is not responding at all
[11:41] <aprilhare> hello
[11:41] <abe3k> actionparsnip : I cannot acces my 80 port on the server from the public ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Q-collective: what gfx card do you ave?
[11:41] <ziroday> Q-collective: what graphics card and do you have the drivers installed for it?
[11:41] <lagann_> davy, choose the recovery mode
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> abe3k: you may need a dialin vpn. have a browse round or maybe someone can chime in with help
[11:42] <Q-collective> I have intel hardware and as intel is fully opensource I kinda assumed Ubuntu had autosupport
[11:42] <abe3k> actionparsnip : yeah thanks for the tip :)
[11:42] <aprilhare> i'm having problems installing openoffice.org 3 on ubuntu.i activated the third party source for it through ubuntu tweak and I can't persuade ooo3 to install. help? :)
[11:42] <lagann_> forget about opening a terminal part
[11:42] <lagann_> I'm sorry about
[11:42] <ziroday> Q-collective: that is correct. What card?
[11:42] <Q-collective> ziroday: wait a sec
[11:42] <powerpro_> ciao
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: http://openofficedocs.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/install-openoffice-30-on-ubuntu/
[11:42] <lagann_> that*
[11:42] <ziroday> Q-collective: sure
[11:42] <davy> cool al try out.thanx
[11:42] <powerpro_> ciaoci sn ita ?
[11:42] <powerpro_> ci sn ita?
[11:42] <powerpro_> ci sn ita?
[11:42] <ziroday> !it | powerpro_
[11:42] <bazhang> #ubuntu-it
[11:43] <Q-collective> ziroday: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[11:43] <powerpro_> ok
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> hates those intel onboard things
[11:43] <DJones> abe3k: Is port 80 open on your router to incoming connections?
[11:43] <Q-collective> ActionParsnip: kinda the only option for laptops ;)
[11:43] <ziroday> Q-collective: okay thats a reasonably well supported card. Can you run compiz fine?
[11:43] <Q-collective> yes, it runs very fine
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Q-collective: geforce go?
[11:44] <ziroday> Q-collective: most odd, I am not sure. Sorry
[11:44] <Q-collective> ok, thanks anyway
[11:44] <aprilhare> ActionParsnip, yes i am aware of that option - but these packages are supposedly tailored for ubuntu. https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive is supposedly the source url for the third-party source
[11:44] <Horus_> Good morning everybody.
[11:45] <aprilhare> good morning horus!
[11:45] <Horus_> Can someone answer me a simple question ? (I apologise if its dumb or answered somewhere)
[11:45] <aprilhare> someone, maybe. :)
[11:45] <Horus_> :P
[11:45] <ziroday> aprilhare: that is the correct repo for OOO3, what is not working?
[11:46] <Horus_> Well,I tried installing the Ubuntu Server (Latest 8.10) on a Virtual Ambient (VMWare) since I wanted to try and host my own stuff in a decent OS
[11:46] <aprilhare> ziroday, synaptic seems to only be aware of 2.4
[11:46] <Horus_> However its proving itself to be more complicated then I expected ^^ is there any way to ntegrate a simple Desktop into it?
[11:46] <ziroday> aprilhare: did you update?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: surely "tailored for ubuntu" is good as yuo are running ubntu
[11:46] <bazhang> Horus_, install ubuntu-desktop
[11:47] <aprilhare> ziroday, i thought so - i'll try updating again
[11:47] <Horus_> How can I achieve that?
[11:47] <Horus_> I tried with
[11:47] <Horus_> aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[11:47] <Horus_> but an error pops up..
[11:47] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Horus_
[11:47] <bazhang> what error
[11:47] <TatrIX> nice... ^^ an ubuntu support chan... xD ? :D
[11:47] <aprilhare> updated didn't find ooo3
[11:47] <ziroday> aprilhare: one sec
[11:48] <Horus_> "Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open(13 Permission Denied)";"Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg),are you root?"
[11:48] <Horus_> There it is bazhang
[11:48] <bazhang> Horus_, did you use sudo
[11:48] <aprilhare> Horus_, put sudo before your command
[11:48] <ziroday> aprilhare: the package name is openoffice.org, it should automatically update your existing openoffice for you
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Horus_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:49] <aprilhare> ziroday, it dinna do it
[11:49] <Horus_> Installing ^^
[11:49] <ziroday> aprilhare: so updated and upgraded?
[11:49] <tsurc> does anyone know if there is an easy way to find out what processes are using swap and how much swap their using?
[11:49] <aprilhare> updated, yes. upgraded, no.
[11:49] <ziroday> aprilhare: is the package openoffice.org installed?
[11:49] <aprilhare> ziroday, yes
[11:49] <Horus_> Thank you for your help people,I apologise for the dumb questions =)
[11:49] <lagann_> Horus_, after the install is done, type startx to start the desktop
[11:49] <torfi> try using top
[11:50] <ziroday> aprilhare: well you need to upgrade to get openoffice 3 after enabling the PPA
[11:50] <Horus_> Oki dokey lagann :D
[11:50] <aprilhare> the uri is recorded as http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu does that seem right to you?
[11:50] <tsurc> torfi: tells me how much memory is bainf used by processes but how can I tell whats swap?
[11:50] <yeryry> there's a windows terminal server/remote desktop connection client, but is there a server for linux?
[11:50] <tsurc> being*
[11:50] <aprilhare> it's enabled so i don't know whats going on
[11:51] <ziroday> aprilhare: once you add the url that the site gives you to /etc/apt/sources.list you need to update your packages and then upgrade your packages to recieve openoffice.org 3
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: did you sudo apt-get update ?
[11:51] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: yes he/she has
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> Q-collective: http://yogharp.wordpress.com/2006/12/19/ubuntu-edgy-on-intel-945gm-graphics-wide-screen-lcd-notebooks/
[11:52] <aprilhare> yes
[11:52] <aprilhare> trying again
[11:52] <DjViper> tsurc: htop
[11:52] <oskar-> yeryry:  there is no, no rdp server, i think. but you can use xdmcp, x11 forwarding, vnc and maybe some other techniques
[11:52] <aprilhare> still not upgrading
[11:52] <lagann_> yeryry, you can use remote desktop connection to connect to a linux remote desktop
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: try apt-cahe search office | less
[11:52] <oskar-> yeryry:  one no too much ;)
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: see if its in that list
[11:52] <barried> Hello all
[11:53] <ziroday> aprilhare: so no update showed up when doing sudo apt-get upgrade?
[11:53] <oskar-> lagann_:  isn't that this vnc feature in ubuntu?
[11:53] <lagann_> oskar-, yes
[11:53] <oskar-> ok
[11:53] <aprilhare> ziroday, the repo was mentioned but no update
[11:53] <ziroday> aprilhare: okay do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:53] <barried> Anyone got any ideas why I get errors using subversion on jeOS when trying to do a commit to the repositry?  I just set one up here on my desktop PC and did the same stuff and it worked fine.
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> oskar-: yeryry: Install LTSP on top of Ubuntu and you have a terminal server.
[11:54] <aprilhare> 0 upgraded
[11:54] <aprilhare> no dist-upgrade didn't do it
[11:54] <well> hi, there
