[12:33] <g[r]eek> Bokeh: Why when I type (as root user) "/etc/init.d/proftpd restart" I get the error "ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration."
[12:33] <Pinchiukas> Bokeh how do I do that?

[12:37] <gotdalife> hey everyone.. i'm running ubuntu feisty on an acer aspire 4710 notebook.. i'm wondering if any fix is available for the problem with the line-out.. the sound still comes out of the built-in speakers, even when i plug an external speaker into the line out... thanks!
[12:37] <g[r]eek> Bokeh: lol - I don't think my ftp daemon is starting up to begin with. When I type "ps -e | grep proftpd" it returns nothing. So perhaps that is the problem - how do I get proftpd to start?

[12:53] <SeanTater> josh_: does it tell you what format it is?
[12:54] <josh_> there are two different audio encodings
[12:54] <josh_> Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5 channels
[12:54] <SeanTater> josh_: That's unusual
[12:54] <SeanTater> josh_: ac3 is no issue
[12:54] <josh_>  Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo
[12:54] <secher> can anyone help get my Media keys to work? Its the only way i can eject my dvd drive (on a laptop)

[12:54] <rkpisanu> hi
[12:55] <imhotep_> hi josh i can help you
[12:55] <SeanTater> josh_: have you tried mapping one out?
[12:55] <rkpisanu> i have a problem with installation of ubuntu 7.10
[12:55] <kanzie> jrib: ah, so I have to go back to compiz-fusion
[12:55] <josh_> I have another, but much older machine, with an older copy of ubuntu that works fine with these formats
[12:55] <jrib> secher: can you right click on the cd-rom icon and select "eject"?
[12:55] <jrib> kanzie: or use brightside
[12:55] <rkpisanu> anyone help me ?

[12:56] <Shapeshifta> My OpenOffice crashes at nearly every opening of a dialog (e.g. print, table properties, export...) I tried reinstalling and it works if I _don't_ use the openoffice.org-gnome package, but if I use gnome integration it crashes. What should I do?
[12:56] <rkpisanu> ok
[12:56] <secher> jrib, yes but its annoyong to eject it like that every time.. I want a button that eject it.. and there is one, among my media keys
[12:56] <SeanTater> josh_: does it give you any helpful information?
[12:56] <rkpisanu> the question is: when the cd ubuntu 7.10 start, it appear initfsram
[12:57] <kanzie> jrib: never heard of it... is it stable
[12:57] <jrib> secher: go to system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts  and see if you can set eject te that key
[12:57] <rkpisanu> dont start
[12:57] <josh_> SeanTater: what do you mean 'mapping one out'?
[12:57] <secher> jrib, cant assign the media keys using that..
[12:57] <jrib> kanzie: worked fine when I tried it.  It is your option if you do not want to use compiz-fusion
[12:57] <jrib> secher: what exactly happens when you try?
[12:58] <Andycasss> Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong?
[12:58] <huffdah> got a heck of a problem with ubuntu.... it starts  get login everything appears normal and  then it freezez.... cannot do anything than  reboot the hard way
[12:58] <SeanTater> josh_: use something like -map 0.1:1.0  on ffmpeg and make the second output file /dev/null .. or anything to get to one audio track
[12:58] <secher> jrib, nothing at all, i assign a new key for it but when i click the key i want to eject with nothing happens
[12:58] <jrib> secher: read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys then

[12:59] <SeanTater> huffdah: Are you trying to login as root?
[12:59] <huffdah> no just as user .. i dont use root
[12:59] <Wespe> hi, i once set my http_proxy variable.... now how can i set it back to default (i guess it's '')? when i use unset http_proxy and open a new shell then it is set back again

[12:59] <huffdah> you can disable that thing

[13:00] <n3tfury> tiddi: try setting it up with mysql. it's alot in my experience.
[13:00] <Gatestone> Especially, how do I list package sizes of all installed packages?
[13:00] <tiddi> im using mysql
[13:00] <SeanTater> huffdah: can you login in the CLI (by pressing CTRL-ALT-F5) (you can get back to GUI by CTRL-ALT-F7)
[13:00] <tiddi> not the sqllite
[13:00] <Wespe> jrib, i think with set and/or export, altough i am not quite sure
[13:01] <jrib> Wespe: if that is what you did then all you need to do is open a new terminal
[13:01] <n3tfury> tiddi: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MySQL_HowTo
[13:01] <tiddi> pray to god that some genious finds out of something that makes amarok faster in scanning
[13:01] <huffdah> i can get Ubuntu startexd and login as normal but the  comp freezes
[13:01] <SeanTater> tiddi: how many files does that come to (as 5000 at a time is about as good as they get I think)
[13:01] <Wespe> jrib, when i open a new terminal then the variable is set....
[13:01] <gordonjcp> tiddi: it's a difficult problem
[13:02] <gordonjcp> tiddi: how would *you* make it faster?
[13:02] <tiddi> how many files there are in 500gb collection?
[13:02] <jrib> Wespe: then you need to find out how it is getting set.  Did you edit any files?
[13:02] <nazarie> Has anyone else had a problem with Evolution core dumping while trying to retrieve mail via IMAP with gmail?
[13:02] <SeanTater> tiddi: approximately

[13:03] <jrib> Wespe: or did you use the system -> preferences -> network proxy ?
[13:03] <n3tfury> an hour for half a terabyte is not extreme
[13:03] <Wespe> jrib, i am really not sure.... but if so then there has to be file with the content 'http_proxy' in my home folder?
[13:03] <SeanTater> tiddi: I use mpd because it's usually more stable, and I think it will do 35,000+ tracks

[13:10] <lousygarua> Pici,  ohhhhh [ ] is not workign with strings??
[13:11] <Andycasss> I had to add netbios name and such settings myself, they werent there
[13:11] <nashu> bulmer : FSTAB is ok only it doesnt contain the new usb key. I used to have an automation that put a new drive icon on the desktop and I had that aplet for the panel that said whent it was mounted, now it appears in the mounter aplet as "unmounted" and it <
[13:11] <Pici> lousygarua: it is, test is the same thing as [ ], the manpage has all the correct syntax
[13:11] <burwaco> hello everyone, I just installed gutsy, is it normal that firestarter firewall isn't installed ?
[13:11] <lousygarua> Pici, ok hmm
[13:11] <Pici> burwaco: yes.
[13:12] <Cheetah> hey folks
[13:12] <jube> !grub
[13:12] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[13:12] <Pici> burwaco: Firestarter is just a frontend to the firewall, iptables is installed.
[13:12] <burwaco> Pici: hello, nice to see you again... firestarter isn't standard ?
[13:12] <nashu> bulmer : and it can be mounted only as root
[13:12] <Cheetah> I'm developing an app with Qt4 and I was wondering if there is an easy way to generate .deb packages from those projects (the problem is that we don't have a configure script there)
[13:12] <Pici> burwaco: No. Its not, no firewall frontends are install by default. The firewall itself (iptables) is installed.
[13:12] <rkpisanu> my system I got dumped into BusyBox with the initramfs prompt. what's means ?
[13:12] <tiddi> diskspace used 450gb 91956 mp3 files
[13:13] <voltel> would someone know if theres a way to automatically place certain programs when loaded into the icewm tray instead of the regular taskbar?
[13:13] <StFS> Hi. I'm having problems... I'm trying to get an installation of Feisty to play mp3s but I can't install the package libxine-extracodecs because a package it depend on can't be found (libxine1-ffmpeg)
[13:13] <tiddi> so it isnt the smallest amount for Amarok to read i admit.
[13:13] <Chousuke> Cheetah: .debs don't really need ./configure (though it helps)... all you need is a proper debian/ directory
[13:13] <Chousuke> Cheetah: read the packaging manual on debian.org
[13:13] <flith1> hey everyone... is sub pixel hinting turned on by default with 7.10?
[13:14] <Cheetah> Chousuke, that's what I'm trying to do the past hours ;)
[13:14]  * genii sips a coffee
[13:14] <rkpisanu> my system I got dumped into BusyBox with the initramfs prompt when it load ubuntu 7.10 cd desktop. what's means ?
[13:14] <g[r]eek> Not sure why I am getting this when I try start proftpd: ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration.
[13:14] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[13:14] <JustinAllen> as?
[13:15] <Chousuke> Cheetah: there's no real "easy way out" if you want to do it properly :)
[13:15] <oficina> hello
[13:15] <oficina> is there a ubuntu brazilian room?
[13:15] <Cheetah> Chousuke, i figured ;) it looks so easy if you have a proper configure script ;)
[13:15] <genii> !br
[13:15] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[13:15] <lousygarua> Pici, thx i got it, also needed quotes before the $1, i.e. "$1" = "something"
[13:15] <oficina> tx
[13:15] <Chousuke> Cheetah: then again, once you've got the sources debianised, keeping it up-to-date with future versions should be simple
[13:16] <shlomil> lousygarua: hello
[13:16] <Pici> lousygarua: ah, good.
[13:16] <Cheetah> Chousuke, yeah, thanks, I'll go the hard way then ;)

[13:18] <oficina> I have a problem with a fat partition (windows 2k) , when i mount it, the special characters of my language dont show correctly, can you help me?
[13:18] <burwaco> euh, highlighting isn't working....
[13:19] <burwaco> someone say my name pls...
[13:19] <gordonjcp> oficina: try adding "-o nls=utf8"
[13:19] <oficina> thanks gordonjcp  I will try it now
[13:21] <nnila> my wireless keeps disconnecting
[13:21] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[13:21] <JustinAllen> as?
[13:21] <nnila> it works fine under XP but in Ubuntu it keeps disconnecting me and I'm having to reboot to get it back
[13:21] <burwaco> I was wondering, if I customize my kernel, when ubuntu updates the kernel later, do I have to customize it again, or does the update use my configfile ?
[13:21] <hairulfr> Anyone know a lot about compiz (or what they call it now). I want to set custom transparency for various stuff, like I could with BERYL.. Thanks
[13:22] <nnila> hairulfr,  - install the manager app
[13:22] <nnila> lets you control all the settings

[13:22] <delire> hi. a basic question that was answered here earlier seconds before my battery died: how do i restore the Ubuntu 7.10 default panel, with all the icons and menus in place just as they were on install?
[13:23] <delire> i've deleted the ~/.gnome-* panel related directories and dot-files, but to no avail.
[13:23] <hairulfr> nnila: Sure? I Already did,  compiz-settings.-control-mamanger...? Can't see anyon of the custom transparancy, for panels and drop down menus, I want it to save my setting from boot to boot
[13:24] <marcelino> After a power outage I get a "error 25: Disk read error". No CDrom, No floppy. I can't boot the normal kernel but recovery mode does give me a prompt. Does anyone know if I can restore the NORMAL kernel from there?
[13:24] <ikonia> marcelino what happens when you try to boot the normal kernel
[13:25] <marcelino> Error 25: Disk read error
[13:25] <marcelino> Right after "savedefault"
[13:25] <ikonia> marcelino where do you reboot the revoery mode from - Grub or the livecd ?
[13:25] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  If you open the settings manager, click on general options, there's a tab that says opacity settings.  In there, there is a box where you put in what you want transparent and what opacity setting to use...
[13:25] <ikonia> marcelino: have you looked at your menu.lst to see if everything is the same for the core and recovery boot options
[13:25] <marcelino> Grub, it's a headless server with no CDrom or floppy. Grub still works!
[13:26] <principe> #ubuntu-br
[13:27] <amigrave> how can I manually re-load the partition table so the system can be aware of changes ?
[13:27] <ikonia> amigrave you can't
[13:27] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Cool, how do i "probe" a window for it's name? Old compiz did that by click,, but need proper name for panels, menus etc
[13:27] <boontoo> !paste
[13:27] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[13:27] <marcelino> menu.lst ... there are 4 options, I don't think anything has changed. There are 4 options apart from mtest. Only the recovery modes give me a prompt.
[13:27] <ikonia> amigrave if your modifying a disk that is in use you'll have to unmount all partitions
[13:27] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  also, there is a channel called #compiz-fusion....check there for help too...
[13:27] <ikonia> marcelino look at the differences
[13:27] <amigrave> ikonia: but I guess fdisk does that at the end, when you write the changes
[13:27] <hairulfr> :)
[13:28] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Thanks,
[13:28] <burwaco> question, If I customize my kernel with this guide, do I have to recompile the kernel every time ubuntu updates the kernel ?
[13:28] <marcelino> sorry, the differences between what do you mean?
[13:28] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  d'oh..i knew you were going to ask that...i can't remember how to probe them though.....lemme fumble through the forums....
[13:28] <ikonia> amigrave no - it writes the changes but the OS won't see it on an "in use" disk until a reboot so the disk is unmounted
[13:28] <amigrave> ikonia: the disk that has been changed is not my system disk (it's a CF card)
[13:28] <burwaco> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/
[13:28] <ikonia> burwaco no you won't but you may have to if ubuntu updates things that depends on the kernel
[13:28] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Haha, Cheers man :)
[13:28] <ikonia> amigrave then unplug it and replug it so it re-reads tha partition table
[13:29] <Chams> hey.. I'm having some trouble, I'm trying to set up ubuntu 7.10 in a computer, but when the live cd boots up it lags alot, I almost can't move the mouse
[13:29] <burwaco> ikonia: like what ? like an ati driver for example ?
[13:29] <amigrave> ikonia: hum ..... I don't know what to say :)

[13:29] <ikonia> burwaco thats a good example
[13:29] <MarcC> anybody know how I lost a processor core during the Gutsy upgrade, and how to fix it?!
[13:30] <Chams> it ran xp fine for three years, so it should be good enough for ubuntu.. any ideas?
[13:30] <amigrave> ikonia: I'm too deep in my stupidities and I even didn't tought about that ;-) I'm formating a CF card in an amiga emulator :)
[13:30] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  here ya go....http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=1768&highlight=opacity+setting
[13:30] <burwaco> ikonia: so, if I want things to stay easy to update it's better not to customize kernel ?
[13:30] <]Spectre[> I/join #java
[13:30] <ikonia> MarcC you've lost a core - is your kernel still showing up as smp
[13:30] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Thanks a bunch man :)
[13:30] <]Spectre[> ops
[13:30] <Yancho> How can I install a file which is install.sh please? I tried ./install.sh but it is not working .. giving me permission denied but I am logged as root
[13:30] <JustinAllen> hairulfr: anytime!
[13:31] <ikonia> burwaco only customise the kernel if you REALLY have to or you REALY understand what your doing. the ubuntu team put a lot of effort into the kernel, and their collective effort will no doubt be more aware than your knowledge
[13:31] <Chams> anyone?
[13:31] <ikonia> Yancho its not marked as executable - chmod it
[13:31] <oficina> GUHH, the option you gave me "-o nls=utf8", did not worked
[13:31] <ikonia> Chams what ?
[13:31] <delire> Yancho: chmod +x file.sh
[13:31] <Yancho> ikonia it is on a cd :S
[13:31] <delire> Yancho: then ./file.sh
[13:31] <ikonia> Yancho then copy it
[13:31] <Chams> I'm trying to set up ubuntu 7.10 in a computer, but when the live cd boots up it lags alot, I almost can't move the mouse
[13:31] <boontoo> do i have any packages that are missing? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42897/
[13:31] <lardarse> Yancho: copy the files to the hard drive first?
[13:32] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[13:32] <JustinAllen> as?
[13:32] <lardarse> Chams: how is the mouse connected?
[13:32] <Chams> usb
[13:32] <genii> Chams: Does it have more than 256Mb ram?
[13:32] <lardarse> hmm...
[13:32] <Chams> it has 256mb
[13:32] <lardarse> 256 might not be enough for ubuntu
[13:32] <ikonia> JustinAllen never used nikons, but try opening nautulis and seeing if you can see the camera as a "device"
[13:32] <Chams> hmm
[13:32] <Chams> darn
[13:32] <lardarse> and despite what peopel say, it's not enough for XP either
[13:33] <ikonia> Chams how fast is the processor
[13:33] <Chams> haha, I know, but still it ran xp for three years :)
[13:33] <burwaco> ikonia: good point... I'm on a laptop ant just wanted to throw out some stuff I don't need, like hamradio... I installed this system last night, it's completely fresh and I'd like to do things like kernel customisation first (if I screw up I can just reinstall)
[13:33] <primski> Chams, install off the alternate cd, it will run faster once installed. livecds are a byatch for low end machines
[13:33] <Chams> amd sempron 2200
[13:33] <genii> 256 is marginal amount for running the livecd decently... after install it's more than enough
[13:33] <Chams> genii: ahh, thought so
[13:33] <genii> chams: Yes xp ran fine but did you ever run XP from a livecd? ;)
[13:33] <ikonia> burwaco why throw it out  its not being loaded unless you modprobe it, so its not taking any resources
[13:33] <Chams> primski; ait, I'll try that
[13:33] <Chams> hehe, nope :)
[13:33] <Chams> 'so live cds require more?
[13:34] <JustinAllen> ikonia:  no dice...when i open nautilus with camera in p2p setting, nothing shows up.  If i open nautilus with the camera in mass storage setting, an icon pops up but disappears instantly
[13:34] <primski> XP Live CD? have i missed something ?P :
[13:34] <Chams> I'll test the alternative cd, thakns guys
[13:34] <primski> Chams, yea, it runs whole system from memory, ofc its slow
[13:34] <Chams> ahh, okay
[13:34] <snsone> having problems surfing the net.it's very slow and ipv6 is disabled.also the dns are resteing after 10 min so i have to setup them again every 10 min.what can i do?
[13:34] <Chams> ofcourse :)
[13:34] <primski> :)
[13:34] <Chams> hey again, thanks
[13:35] <s00p> morning
[13:35] <primski> np, good luck
[13:35] <ikonia> snsone fix dhcp
[13:35] <burwaco> ikonia: ok, you win... no kernel hacking for me... what else can I customize before I start bloating my system with dirty files ? :-)
[13:35] <snsone> it's a static ip configuration
[13:35] <ikonia> burwaco why do you need to customise anything ?
[13:35] <genii> Chams: I needed to install 7.04 from alternate since this box has only 128Mb ...after it ran fine however
[13:35] <frederick85> Help my computer screen tells me this and i'm not sure what to do http://rafb.net/p/T1UWng56.html
[13:35] <ikonia> snsone then what are you talking about dns servers being reset ?
[13:36] <Chams> great! I get nice speed, 25 mins left of the alt cd :)
[13:36] <burwaco> ikonia: because I'm bored controlfreak ?
[13:36] <ikonia> frederick85: don't troll !
[13:36] <snsone> the nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf
[13:36] <Lunks> Is it just me or Ubuntu Forums is locking up Firefox?
[13:36] <ikonia> burwaco your a rubbish control freak if you don't know what to tweak
[13:36] <snsone> im running ubuntu gutsy
[13:36] <ikonia> snsone then its not a static DNS configuration - so you need to fix dhcp
[13:36] <ikonia> snsone so ?
[13:37] <ikonia> burwaco the default ubuntu install is fine, change things when you find things you don't like
[13:37] <ikonia> not just for the sake of it
[13:37] <boontoo> hello i cant get my sound to work any ideas?
[13:37] <delire> ikonia: bah, let him do as he likes. tweaking can be fun for it's own sake - a way of learning.
[13:37] <Yancho> Linking /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init to /etc/init.d/ls.init ... ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init' to `/etc/init.d/ls.init': No such file or directory <- is this the result of trying to install a RedHat Application on Ubuntu?
[13:38] <ikonia> delire I said he tweak what he wants but asking "what do I tweak" is pointless - what do you tweak for what ???
[13:38] <delire> ikonia: break things, fix them badly et al.
[13:38] <delire> ikonia: it is a strange question, i agree, but there's no need to be harsh.
[13:38] <burwaco> ikonia: ok, true, I have the ati driver from the repos running now, and it doesn't seem to support compiz, is there a guide for gutsy already ? I'd like to get compiz running...
[13:38] <ikonia> delire do'nt tell me - I know what I change
[13:38] <ikonia> burwaco compiz is already installed in gusty
[13:38] <ikonia> delire I'm not being harsh
[13:39] <boontoo> anyone?
[13:39] <snsone> well my network conf is something like this:
[13:39] <boontoo> sound not working ~ ubuntu HDA INTEL~
[13:39] <snsone> ip: 81.196...
[13:39] <snsone> subnet:255.255....
[13:39] <snsone> gatewat:81.196....
[13:39] <snsone> dns1:<IP_ADDRESS>
[13:39] <snsone> dns2:<IP_ADDRESS>
[13:39] <snsone> those two keep reseting to <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:39] <delire> snsone: don't flood here.
[13:39] <Pici> !paste | snsone
[13:39] <ubotu> snsone: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[13:39] <ikonia> snsone dhcp is overriding it every X minutes when it polls
[13:40] <delire> snsone: you can pass dhclient an option to not ask for a new address so often.
[13:40] <snsone> sorry didnt mean to flood..i was used to ctrl+enter in old yahoo
[13:40] <ikonia> delire or disable dhcp as he's using a static config
[13:40] <delire> yes, if that's more convenient.
[13:41] <Pici> !intelhda | boontoo
[13:41] <ubotu> boontoo: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[13:41] <boontoo> ty Pici
[13:41] <snsone> how can i do that?im kinda noobish
[13:41] <delire> snsone: if you're using gnome, you can use the network-manager to disable DHCP altogether.
[13:41] <ikonia> snsone /etc/init.d/dhcp stop
[13:41] <burwaco> ikonia: When I try to enable visual efects in appearance I get "The composite extention is not available"...
[13:41] <Nashu_> hello ikonia
[13:41] <ikonia> burwaco have you looked if your card is compatible and if so with what drivers
[13:42] <Nashu_> got another tough one for you
[13:42] <delire> snsone: if you'd rather use a GUI, right-click on the network icon in the top panel.
[13:42] <ikonia> Nashu_ another one ?
[13:42] <JustinAllen> burwaco:  if you open up System>Preferences>Appearance...there should be a tab that says Visual Effects
[13:42] <Nashu_> problem :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Nashu_ I don't think I've spoke to you before
[13:42] <burwaco> ikonia: where can I look for that ?
[13:42] <delire> choose, 'manual configure' and disable DHCP in htere.
[13:42] <ikonia> !ati >burwaco
[13:42] <cyne> hi all
[13:42] <Nashu_> yes , you did and where very helpful
[13:42] <ikonia> burwaco check out that link from ubotu
[13:42] <snsone> well
[13:42] <cyne> this deskbar applet is great :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Nashu_ thats nice to hear, ask your question
[13:42] <snsone> it is disabled already on one card
[13:42] <burwaco> JustinAllen: yes I have that tab open
[13:43] <burwaco> !ati
[13:43] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[13:43] <cyne> how do i make the deskbar applet have an input field in my bar
[13:43] <snsone> and on the other which i dont use its on roaming mode
[13:43] <cyne> ?
[13:43] <burwaco> ikonia: you want me to install driver from ati.com ?
[13:43] <delire> snsone: so you're using your computer as a router?
[13:43] <Nashu_> my usb ports are no longer reacting normal, I plug my usb but it does not completely mount the device, it apears in the mounter uplet as unmounted
[13:43] <ikonia> burwaco no - I want you to read the link I sent you and see if your card is support and if so by what drivers
[13:43] <cyne> burwaco: read the page man
[13:43] <Bokeh> g[r]eek: still here?
[13:44] <Nashu_> and it mounts only if I sudo mount /dev/sdaX
[13:44] <ikonia> Nashu_ what device is it
[13:44] <snsone> yes it was
[13:44] <delire> snsone: right. do you still want to use it as a router?
[13:44] <burwaco> ikonia: I got beryl running a few months ago, with the driver from ati.com and xgl...
[13:44] <snsone> now i can't do nothing with the slow connection and dns reseting
[13:44] <Nashu_> before it was allways putting a incon with the new usb device on the desktop and mounting all automatic
[13:44] <ikonia> burwaco your using different drivers on gusty
[13:44] <OxxY> hey, is there a list somewhere of the drivers included with the latest ubuntu? Planning on building a NAT and wanted to make my life easy by choosing a raid controller and graphic card already supported :)
[13:44] <ikonia> burwaco as I said READ what I sent you
[13:44] <Nashu_> USB Kingston
[13:45] <burwaco> ikonia: I'm on it, thx
[13:45] <Nashu_> USB Passport 250 GB external hdd
[13:45] <OxxY> *NAS
[13:45] <Nashu_> all usb behaving the same
[13:45] <snsone> yes :D
[13:45] <ikonia> Nashu_ so hotplug is creating the device but gnome isn't autmounting it through d-bus ?
[13:45] <snsone> i want
[13:45] <delire> snsone: right, well just disable the DHCP for the card to which the IP and DNS are being reset.
[13:46] <JustinAllen> burwaco: what do you get when you try and enable visual effects?
[13:46] <delire> set up both devices with static addressing.
[13:46] <snsone> only the 2 dns are being reset
[13:46] <Nashu_> ikonia : I think so... if I go to a term and sudo mount /dev/sdaX  /staroga for example, it works
[13:46] <stianiquniez> hello. can somebody help me whit a internet problem whit my ubuntu ? it was working yesterday, and now it dont, but on windows in vmware its working, someone who know what the problem can be ?
[13:46] <snsone> the ip remains static to 81.196.bla
[13:46] <delire> snsone: are you NAT'ted?
[13:46] <Nashu_> ikonia : but I can access the device only If I am root
[13:46] <ikonia> Nashu_ this may sound simple, but have you rebooted scince this is happening ?
[13:46]  * ffjia is back.
[13:46] <snsone> so im guessing its disabled
[13:46] <tryggvib> Just for fun. I stumbled upon this site... nice logo :D http://www.agile2008.org/index.html
[13:47] <Nashu_> ikoni : yes several times
[13:47] <ikonia> Nashu_ and it still behaves the same
[13:47] <Ubuntu_Noob> can someone help me how can i update the rfb protocol of vnc
[13:47] <Woifi1988> hi!
[13:47] <ikonia> Nashu_ what you can try if you want is zero the syslog - tail the syslog and then plug in the device and see what is logged
[13:48] <Woifi1988> is any ubuntu version available for embedded pc or especialy for alix boards?
[13:48] <Nashu_> ikonia : ues, the same on my user , BUT, if I boot on rescue option, and than as root startX , all is ok on gnome
[13:48] <Nashu_> *ues = yes
[13:48] <ikonia> Nashu_: try tailin ghte log and lugging the drvice in
[13:48] <arcticblue> so, what happened to XV on Nvidia cards?
[13:48] <ikonia> arcticblue XV ?
[13:49] <arcticblue> XV video playback
[13:49] <ikonia> ahhh
[13:49] <arcticblue> VLC and Mplayer use this as the default
[13:49] <arcticblue> all i get is green blocks
[13:49] <Nashu_> ikonia : ok will do that when I go to school, now I'm on windows home :)
[13:49] <ikonia> are youhaving a problem
[13:49] <Beererde> hi. is there a good kernel update howto? i tried everything but no success. i have  2.6.15-28-amd64 and need at least 2.6.21
[13:49] <jano_> hi.. I want to upgrade to gutsy but there is no message like it says on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[13:49] <arcticblue> this makes using mythtv near impossible
[13:49] <ikonia> Nashu_ thats fine, I'll probably still be around, give me a nudge when you want to walk it through
[13:50] <snsone> well?
[13:50] <cyne> how do i get the input field instead of the button for the deskbar applet?
[13:50] <arcticblue> this is on a clean install too
[13:50] <delire> arcticblue: are you using Compiz?
[13:50] <arcticblue> no
[13:50] <Pici> cyne: You dont. It was removed in the Gutsy version (I'd like it back too)
[13:50] <delire> arcticblue: XV can be enabled in xorg.conf, though the xorg config application in 7.10 may support this option also.
[13:50] <cyne> Pici oh i see, well i suppose you would have to click up there anyway
[13:51] <arcticblue> so the default behavior is to disable XV support which many multimedia apps use?
[13:51] <Pici> cyne: Aparrently it was 'an ugly hack'. I think its blueprinted to be back in for the next version of Gnome
[13:51] <delire> arcticblue: i don't think so. you may have manipulated your xorg.conf however.
[13:52] <cyne> Pici.. ok cool
[13:52] <delire> arcticblue: if not, then i would consider looking at the video overlay and opengl overlay options. they are toggles.
[13:52] <arcticblue> haven't touched it.  like i said, it's a clean install.  just finished installing about an hour ago
[13:52] <jano_> !upgrade
[13:52] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[13:53] <delire> arcticblue: right, odd. have you tried passing mplayer alternative output flags to see if the problem is more general?

[13:53] <arcticblue> i can watch videos using the X11 output module
[13:53] <JustinAllen> burwaco:  have you installed xserver-xgl through apt-get or synaptics yet?
[13:53] <freak124> I've already had ubuntu on my pc, but I had throw it of and I'm trying to reïnstall. Everything goes just fine, untill I have to use the partition manager in the installation program. Apereantly I have no partition table. This sure is strange, because I can see all my partitions in nautilus. I've asked for help on this and people told me to get the alternative cd, but in my opinion, this is merely fighting the symptoms instead of the problem.
[13:53] <delire> arcticblue: can you look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if the option VideoOverlay is set to On?
[13:53] <Pici> burwaco: what ati card do you have?
[13:54] <Degi> hello guys
[13:54] <burwaco> JustinAllen: no, I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto now...
[13:54] <dharma> hi
[13:54] <Radio1> Thanks Ubuntu for being so cool.
[13:54] <arcticblue> delire: would that be in the device section?
[13:54] <delire> arcticblue: yes, i believe so.
[13:54] <freak124> anyone able to help?
[13:54] <Degi> any chance to get some information regarding connrate module in ubuntu kernel modules ?
[13:54] <dharma> scuse me, how to do connect my HTC phno via bluetooth?
[13:54] <delire> arcticblue: just grep or it. if it's not there it's "off"
[13:54] <arcticblue> delire: no, there is no VIdeoOverlay option

[13:55] <JustinAllen> burwaco:  ok..for me..i had to use the restricted drivers and then after that, reboot, then install xserver-xgl via apt-get and then reboot...and then install the settings manager..and that was it...
[13:55] <Radio1> I think everyone should send a little gift to ubuntu for what they have provided for us.
[13:55] <dannyboy2087> has anybody had any problems with sound in gutsy
[13:55] <dannyboy2087> ?

[13:56] <Lunks> while trying some stuff on ubuntu, i got an error:

[13:56] <Lunks> XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
[13:56] <burwaco> Pici: hmm, does that mean I have no chance ?
[13:56] <delire> arcticblue: right. well at this stage i'd search around to see if NVIDIA fully supports xv output with that card.
[13:56] <Lunks> what's this?
[13:57] <Javid> how can I get tablet input working in gutsy?
[13:57] <jano_> how can I upgrade if my upgrade manager doesn´t show "New distribution release is available"
[13:57] <delire> arcticblue: stranger ommissions have occurred.
[13:57] <Pici> burwaco: The link there provides information about unblacklisting your card, but it may not work perfectly.
[13:57] <genii> !wacom
[13:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[13:57] <JustinAllen> burwaco: the ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
[13:59] <Javid> The stupid tablet works in windows, this can't be that difficult
[13:59] <freak124> I've already had ubuntu on my pc, but I had throw it of and I'm trying to reïnstall. Everything goes just fine, untill I have to use the partition manager in the installation program. Apereantly I have no partition table. This sure is strange, because I can see all my partitions in nautilus. I've asked for help on this and people told me to get the alternative cd, but in my opinion, this is merely fighting the symptoms instead of the problem.
[13:59] <genii> Javid: Is it a drawing tablet like for CAD or such, or a touchpad
[13:59] <dannyboy2087> Flynsarmy does this require a restart after the installation?
[13:59] <Javid> a tablet, with the pen
[13:59] <Javid> on a tablet PC
[13:59] <Flynsarmy> dannyboy2087: Yes
[13:59] <Javid> which is my only input device
[13:59] <Javid> you can imagine the difficulties this presents
[14:00] <dannyboy2087> Flynsarmy its installing right now....
[14:00] <genii> !synaptics | javid
[14:00] <ubotu> javid: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[14:00] <Javid> it is not a touchpad
[14:00] <Javid> I just said that
[14:00] <genii> Yes, it is
[14:00] <Yancho> Anyone know how I cann install an application which is designed for RedHat on Ubuntu pls?
[14:00] <Javid> it is a wacom produce, not a frigging touchpad
[14:01] <burwaco> JustinAllen: what's the name of the settingsmanager, can yo uget it trough apt ?
[14:01] <dannyboy2087> Flynsarmy its installed...im going 2 restart now...anythings else i gotta do after i boot up?
[14:01] <riderrr> is there any way to download, install, and run ie without having windows on my machine
[14:01] <riderrr> ?
[14:01] <Pici> !alien | Yancho
[14:01] <ubotu> Yancho: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[14:01] <genii> !info wacom-tools
[14:01] <ubotu> wacom-tools: utilities for wacom tablets and other hid devices. In component main, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 51 kB, installed size 192 kB
[14:02] <Javid> I installed that
[14:02] <coldboot> I know Redhat sucks and all, but I have to use it for work, does anyone know the Redhat equivalent for "apt-file search"?
[14:02] <Javid> first thing I did, apt-cache search wacom
[14:02] <joshuah> i got wine but it dont' seem too be working when i click it i'm using freespire any suggestions?
[14:02] <JustinAllen> burwaco: yeah...hang on....i'll tell you
[14:02] <genii> Javid: After wacom-tools see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151  old but still apllicable
[14:03] <Andycasss> Hmm, i cannot change my linux shares folder names
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> joshuah: right click> open with wine
[14:03] <BenEss> Hey, I just downloaded Ubuntu and I noticed it now comes with closed source drivers. What's up with that? Isn't this illegal? What stops the transition to a model where companies like Microsoft produce a non free Linux distribution with widely supported hardware by charging for the "drivers included", "hardware supported" distro and leaving an unpopular free GPL version that doesn't work on most hardware? Isn't tha
[14:03] <BenEss> t like stealing code from the people who made the GPL core?
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> ?
[14:03] <Andycasss> But i can create files
[14:03] <Pici> Javid: fyi, there is currently a bug that wacom tablets do not work properly with XGL
[14:03] <pike_> coldboot: may want to /join #fedora and ask how to do that with yum
[14:03] <Yancho> Pici what is this package pls?
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> BenEss: those drivers are from the maker of the card
[14:03] <Javid> pici, is xgl what gutsy comes with by default?
[14:03] <twoshadetod> whats a good raiden clone for ubuntu?
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> afaik
[14:03] <twoshadetod> game i mean
[14:04] <JustinAllen> burwaco: compizconfig-settings-manager
[14:04] <Cyber_Stalker> BenEss: thats why they are private because the card manufacturer wont let you mod there binarys
[14:04] <Pici> Javid: no, Its only used if you use composite desktop with an ATI card.
[14:04] <Cyber_Stalker> afaik
[14:04] <Javid> Pici, thanks, that doesn't affect my setup any, fortunately
[14:05] <BenEss> yeah but, even today I need to pay to get a fully working Linux without the source, from the likes of Mandriva.
[14:05] <burwaco> JustinAllen: thx
[14:05] <JustinAllen> burwaco: np
[14:05] <Cyber_Stalker> BenEss: your not paying for those drivers
[14:05] <Cyber_Stalker> ?
[14:05] <BenEss> I would expect legal contortionst from commercial vendors, but in ubuntu?
[14:05] <Pici> !offtopic | BenEss
[14:05] <ubotu> BenEss: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:06] <Cyber_Stalker> they are supplied by the manufacturer, but locked because they arnt 100% supported/u cant interefere with them
[14:06] <BenEss> Well I'm paying for the package which includes the drivers.
[14:06] <MrEgg964> hi all, how do I mount --bind in fstab ?
[14:06] <Nashu> _lucretia_ : ajuti sau cauti ajutor?
[14:06] <BenEss> okay I stop it seems I<m offtopic
[14:06] <Pici> BenEss: You can continue in #ubuntu-offtopic, just not here.
[14:07] <riderrr> is there any way to download, install, and run ie without having windows on my machine?

[14:08] <pike_> riderrr: itll even put an ie icon on your destkop ;p
[14:08] <Vlet> riderrr: there are various how-to's on the web on how to run IE through wine
[14:08] <riderrr> ty
[14:08] <dahitokiri> in LDD3 it says that i have to have the complete kernel sources and link against them when making device drivers but in ubuntu's package manager it says "If you are simply trying to build third-party modules for your kernel, you do not want this package. Install the appropriate linux-headers package instead." so which one is true?
[14:08] <pike_> riderrr: all you should have to do is apt-get install wine then run that script
[14:09] <Gatestone> OK, I managed to list all installed packages in size order. Ugly as hell with aptitude show, awk, sed, grep and sort.

[14:13] <snsone> ive said this before:i disabled ipv6 and the internet is still slow and my 2 dns are reseting every 10 min
[14:13] <snsone> i have 2 eth's
[14:13] <Gatestone> To list all installed packages you can do: aptitude show '~n.*' | awk -f fix | grep 'State: installed' | sed 's/: /:/g' | sort -t: -n -k4 | more
[14:13] <Yancho> Anyone knows where does WINE install by default pls?
[14:13] <donner>  hey

[14:14] <snsone> eth0 that is.and eth1 is the one i use
[14:14] <dharma> connect to windows mobile?
[14:14] <Gatestone> I mean "fix" was /^Package:/             {p = $0}
[14:14] <Gatestone> ok, forget it, ask me if you need it.
[14:14] <burwaco> brb, reboot to activate xgl...

[14:17] <SpikePT> can i create a ntfs partition with gparted live cd? no need to instal gparted?
[14:17] <Yancho> Anyone knows where does WINE install by default pls?
[14:17] <Pici> SpikePT: Sure, thats the best way.
[14:17] <Pici> Yancho: Wine installs all over the place, what particular part of it are you looking for?
[14:18] <snsone> anyone?
[14:18] <Fossilet> HI.
[14:18] <Andycasss> I can modify files in my home share but not in my media share?? Someone help

[14:19] <Pinchiukas> anybody can help me with this ibm thin client? I've mangled something in the setup and now I'm not able to enter the setup :/
[14:19] <Pici> !ntfs | riderrr

[14:20] <Fossilet> then
[14:21] <Norrel> wrong filesystem probably
[14:21] <burwaco> JustinAllen: I installed xserver-xgl and rebooted, did you have to change something in xorg.conf before xgl worked ?
[14:21] <dahitokiri> anyone?
[14:21] <mynyml> what application do you guys suggest to play audio files?
[14:21] <Andycasss> How do i make it right then?

Install the appropriate linux-headers package instead." so which one is true?
[14:22] <s00p> Javid: windows is a piece of crap!
[14:22] <JustinAllen> burwaco: nope..it just started working for me....
[14:22] <Javid> s00p: so is ubuntu's tablet PC support
[14:22] <MrEgg964> Hi all, how can I mount a Directory in fstab, if the Directory contains a space in its name ?
[14:23] <burwaco> JustinAllen: how do you knwo it's working, do you have acommand that says something about xgl ?
[14:23] <SpikePT> whats website of wine so i can see the supported apps/games?
[14:23] <Pici> MrEgg964: Escape the space with a backslash or possible enclose the whole thing in double quotes
[14:23] <neopsyche> Hi.. i tried to install ies4linux but it doesnt make the icons in bin on home folder?
[14:23] <Andycasss> Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders????
[14:23] <Javid> SpikePT, winehq.org
[14:23] <JustinAllen> burwaco: no...when i instlled it, i just went in and tried to enable visual effects and it worked....
[14:23] <burwaco> JustinAllen: k
[14:24] <Pici> burwaco: did you follow the unblacklist procedure in the link from ubotu?
[14:24] <MrEgg964> Pici: the quotes do work perfectly from terminal, but not in fstab
[14:24] <maniaxmax> Should I uses Cedega or wine for gaming?
[14:24] <burwaco> Pici: not yet, but it seems to work without it, I took note of your link...
[14:24] <Pici> MrEgg964: Did you try escaping with a backslash? that usually works for me
[14:25] <burwaco> JustinAllen: Pici, it's working over here...
[14:25] <Andycasss> Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders???? I can create a folder in my HOME share, but not in media. Both share paths are configured exacly the same in smba.conf
[14:25] <burwaco> it seems to be at least...
[14:25] <MrEgg964> no, not yet;  what do you mean by 'escaping' w/ a \ ?
[14:25] <SpikePT> If I copy the contents of the gParted Live CD ISO to a USB Drive, will it work to boot?
[14:25] <JustinAllen> burwaco: good :)
[14:26] <Pici> MrEgg964: like: /path/to/directory\ with\ spaces/
[14:26] <burwaco> JustinAllen: yes, wobbly windows, no cube yet ...
[14:26] <maniaxmax> Can anyone tell me, should I use cedega or wine for gaming?
[14:26] <MrEgg964> Pici: ok, got it, i'll try that. ty
[14:26] <s00p> Javid: Well I would rather use a stone tablet and a chisel than to fight with Windows everyday.
[14:26] <Javid-> at least the thing boots now...
[14:26] <Pici> maniaxmax: Cedega is commercial
[14:26] <neopsyche> Hi.. i tried to install ies4linux but it doesnt make the icons in bin on home folder?
[14:27] <kl4m> Fossilet:I always just did right-click on the iso and "open with file-roller"
[14:27] <maniaxmax> pici: well...does it have any advantages? or does it work the same?
[14:27] <neopsyche> IE 7 is realeased for mac osx right?  Does this mean there will be a version for linux?
[14:27] <chi11y> no
[14:27] <blueser> hi. dumb question: I am trying to upgrade an existing 7.04 installation to 7.10. however, if I boot the installation cd it only offers me the chance to _install_ 7.10. will it recognize and properly upgrade my existing 7.04 installation?
[14:27] <suemeee> neopsyche, no way
[14:27] <s00p> IE7 for OS X??
[14:27] <s00p> IE7 is crap, too!
[14:27] <Pici> blueser: No.
[14:27] <Ahadiel> neopsyche, Why...
[14:27] <bstock> so, has anyone else noticed a delay for dns queries when trying to ping? on gutsy, if I try to ping something that resolves to our internal dns server, there's like a 2-second delay. but if i try it from a non-gutsy computer (fiesty, or windows or mac) it's fine. also, if i ping the IP from the gutsy box it's also fine
[14:27] <Pici> maniaxmax: Cedega is tailored for games, Wine for running any apps.
[14:28] <Javid-> s00p: windows installed without a hitch. ubuntu ate my mbr and refuses to detect my tablet.that = crapware
[14:28] <The-Compiler> Hi
[14:28] <bstock> and it didn't happen until i upgraded to gutsy
[14:28] <maniaxmax> pici: ok cool, thanks
[14:28] <bstock> and it's happening on 3 or 4 gutsy machines
[14:28] <Pici> bstock: Is it possible that you had ipv6 disabled previous to gutsy?
[14:28] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: for testing website purposes
[14:28] <blueser> Pici: wow, thk god I haven't tried it =) is it possible to install from this cd or am I obliged to do a network upgrade?
[14:28] <Ahadiel> neopsyche, run windows in a VM D: (ie. Virtualbox)
[14:28] <suemeee> bstock, I think the problem is in /etc/nsswitch.conf  compare it with other distro
[14:28] <s00p> Javid: Ubuntu installed great on my MacBook Pro and my Dell Latitude D630. I think it's wonderful!
[14:28] <bstock> Pici: i usually just leave resolv.conf as it is, including the ipv6 routes
[14:28] <JustinAllen> burwaco: mine wasn't either but i just figured it out.hehe..if you look in the bottom right corner (hope you're using GNOME) you should see your workspaces...i think default to Gutsy is 2..right click and go to preferences and change the columns to 4..so it shows 4 workspaces..then ur cube shold work properly
[14:28] <Gatestone> Here as a oneliner, see all installed packages by size: aptitude show '~n.*' | awk '/^Package:/ {p = $0} /^State:/ {s = $0} /^Uncompressed Size:/ {print p " " s " " $0}' | grep 'State: installed' | sed 's/: /:/g' | sort -t: -n -k4 | more
[14:28] <Pici> blueser: You can use the Alternate CD as a cdbased repo to do the upgrade.
[14:29] <Andycasss> Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders???? I can create a folder in my HOME share, but not in media. Both share paths are configured exacly the same in smba.conf
[14:29] <Gatestone> There must be a better way, though?
[14:29] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: that is very time consuming to set up as well as ram consuming
[14:29] <bstock> alright i'll take a look at that file
[14:29] <blueser> Pici: mmmh... got it. thks
[14:29] <snsone> is there anyone here who can help me or not?
[14:29] <MrEgg964> Pici: I must be doing smthg wrong ; my fstab line is /mnt/DataCenter/my\ \directory - that returns an error. Any idea?
[14:29] <bstock> actually that file looks the same as it was on fiesty
[14:29] <genii> blueser: Yes, as Pici says, you can do sudo apt-cdrom and add the 7.10 alternate to your sources.list where you can upgrade to it
[14:30] <Pici> MrEgg964: too many backslashes, should be /mnt/DataCenter/my\ directory/
[14:30] <bulmer> snsone-> what do you have? can you elaborate your network layout?
[14:30] <Javid> snsone: they're too busy eating cheetos and playing wow to stoop to helping a prole with their problems
[14:30] <blueser> genii: ok, thks. anyway, I need a different cd for that
[14:31] <Cyberai> can anyone tell me why apps turn "shadowed" sometimes when using compiz, and how you get them back?
[14:31] <Cyberai> it's annoying
[14:31] <bstock> i know on fiesty there was some sort of checkbox i had to disable for a similar problem, something in Administration -> Network. but now it's changed a little
[14:31] <viril> hi
[14:32] <viril> question: any fix for gutsy on the msttcorefonts issue after doing apt-get upgrade please???
[14:32] <snsone> goddamit internet is very slow and ipv6 is disabled.help!
[14:32] <bstock> yeah, under General there was an option 'Scan for available service and advertise local services on the network' now that option isn't there anymore
[14:32] <zengen> Is there any difference between mounting in fstab with /dev/sdb* and by UUID
[14:32] <freezey> anybody have experience using alien to install .rpm packages?
[14:32] <s00p> Windows is an evil wretch
[14:33] <JimmyDee> so nu?
[14:33] <Lunks> I'm trying to run a game using Wine on a different X display. Sound goes fine, but there's no video output. What am I doing wrong? Using X :3 -ac & nvidia-settings --load-config-only, then DISPLAY=:3 wine game
[14:33] <achadwick> viril: they work for me. What problems were you seeing?
[14:33] <Ahadiel> Lunks, try asking in #winehq I believe
[14:33] <Lunks> I'm trying :P
[14:33] <JimmyDee> freezey, whats the issue?
[14:34] <Lunks> I believe this has nothing to do with Wine specfically, but X or Nvidia.
[14:34] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: thanks anyway
[14:34] <viril> achadwick: --22:22:01--  http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe
[14:34] <viril>            => `./andale32.exe'
[14:34] <viril> Resolving surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net... failed: Connection timed out.
[14:34] <freezey> JimmyDee: i installed a package with alien and now i want to remove it
[14:35] <JimmyDee> freezey, you can remove it using apt-get remove
[14:35] <freezey> yeah but it was an rpm so i am not even sure of the package name
[14:35] <achadwick> viril: it resolves for me (to <IP_ADDRESS>). Is andale31 the first font in the list by any chance, and/or do you see the same error elsewhere?
[14:36] <s00p> My  friend Ken and I have determined that "Windows" is a pariah. Anything with the name Windows attached to it is bound to be problematic!
[14:36] <mick_> somebody knows the Flash MX for linux ?
[14:36] <freezey> JimmyDee: it instaleld into a dir and its called hsm in the dir it installed to but in the above dir its just the .rpm package
[14:36] <Pici> s00p: Thats nice, and offtopic, take it to ##windows
[14:37] <snsone> god damn, i ask to much for somebody to help me make a bloody network card to work properly?
[14:37] <Cyberai> can anyone tell me why apps turn "shadowed" sometimes when using compiz, and how you get them back?
[14:37] <Pici> mick_: There is none.  It might work under Wine though.
[14:37] <s00p> I did but they banned me :(
[14:37] <JimmyDee> freezey, check synaptic, look under manually installed
[14:37] <mick_> Pici, tks
[14:37] <Lunks> How to run X on a specified resolution?
[14:37]  * achadwick checks. And I can connect and get HTTP HEAD info for that file from surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net.
[14:37] <Pici> s00p: If you continue here the result might be the same.
[14:37] <viril> achadwick, andale32 is the first font of the series. note: i'm not under a proxy or anything. what can i do to cancel/clean the partial process?
[14:37] <s00p> Pici: People are not allowed to talk about any non-Ubuntu topics here?
[14:37] <Pici> viril: have you read this: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/147253
[14:38] <Pici> s00p: This is a support channel, so, no.
[14:38] <Pici> !offtopic | s00p
[14:38] <ubotu> s00p: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:38] <Lunks> How to run X on a specified resolution?
[14:38] <freezey> JimmyDee: where is manually installed?
[14:38] <MikeDX> Lunks: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the default resolution in there (or set the highest value to the one you want)
[14:38] <r3m0t> I switched from prop. to free. nvidia driver, now my keymap is reset. how to fix?
[14:38] <viril> Pici, thanks, i'll check it first
[14:38] <Lunks> MikeDX: But I want to set it from command line
[14:39] <MikeDX> dynamically?
[14:39] <freezey> JimmyDee: ok i saw it
[14:39] <MikeDX> startx --help ?
[14:39] <s00p> In that case. When will the intel hd audio under the ICH8 chipset finally be working so that I don't gave to rebuild alsa with each kernel update?
[14:39] <Pici> !xconfig | Lunks
[14:39] <ubotu> Lunks: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes
[14:39] <SpikePT> Pici: The gParted Live CD works like Ubuntu Live CD? I have to boot from it and create partition?
[14:39] <boguh> hi, i want to install compiz fusion. which packages do i need?
[14:39] <JimmyDee> freezey, thats how to kill it
[14:39] <jsg> Hi, how do you edit the applications menu from the shell?
[14:39] <Pici> SpikePT: Yes, it does (and is a much smaller download). I just used it the other day.
[14:39] <Lunks> I'm creating a new X session, which I want to specify its resolution
[14:39] <snsone> ANYONE?I REALLY NEED HELP GODAMMIT!
[14:40] <Lunks> My usual X session is fine. ;)
[14:40] <JimmyDee> !patience | snsone
[14:40] <ubotu> snsone: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[14:40] <SpikePT> Pici: Thanks.
[14:40] <MikeDX> snsone: :o
[14:40] <genii> Javid: Try sudo modprobe wacom
[14:40] <MikeDX> ugh those bot "commands" are annoying as hell
[14:40] <Pici> snsone: Multiple people have asked you for more details and you havent provided any.
[14:40] <s00p> is there a maximum number of displays available using xinerama?
[14:40] <snsone> i provided details
[14:40] <dahitokiri> snsone, does the ubuntu livecd fix your network?
[14:41] <snsone> 3 times already
[14:41] <snsone> no, i tried it
[14:41] <MikeDX> snsone is your card listed in lspci? have you tried hard coding settings in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[14:41] <ta1> I woke up this morning and my HD was full.. checked Disk usage and it said there was 79gb in the beagle directory logs... so I removed all the logs and emptied the trash.. now I only have 52gb free? WTH  Any idea?
[14:41] <MikeDX> auto eth0 ... blah lbha
[14:41] <dahitokiri> snsone, what about knoppix?
[14:41] <neopsyche> How do i configure ies4linux .. i already installed it .. but something went wrong i dont have any icon to start ie6
[14:41] <Lunks> MikeDX: I want to specify screen resolution like -depth command specifies colour depth.
[14:42] <Pici> snsone: If you dont use the persons name when you reply, they dont know that you are talking to them.  Also keep your replies on one line.
[14:42] <r3m0t> ta1: oddly enough, that can happen
[14:42] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, did you install cabextract?
[14:42] <bulmer> snsone-> you need to prefix your responses with the nick of the person you are responding to or else it would be missed
[14:42] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: first yes
[14:42] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, and wine I'm sure
[14:42] <snsone> MikeDXi dont know much about hard coding in ubuntu.i only disabled ipv6 in aliases
[14:42] <Andycasss> Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows?
[14:42] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: what do i type to check?
[14:42] <Lunks> and X is a too damn small word to google. :/
[14:42] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: yes wine
[14:42] <ta1> r3m0t: sure but any idea why it would say there is 79gb of data and only free up 52?
[14:43] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, I've really never seen it fail, did you run the script using sudo?
[14:43] <MikeDX> lunks: google for x11 or xorg or xorg.conf or startx
[14:43] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: let me check
[14:43] <kopsd> Lunks: what is your problem?
[14:43] <s00p> How well does WINE work these days? I have heard it's pretty sketchy at best.
[14:43] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: i closed all the windows that were open
[14:43] <r3m0t> ta1: I think it's about how it's counted. if you used something like nautilus then it counts up the size of each file and totals them. but what if the same file exists under two names? it's only *actually* stored once on your disk
[14:43] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: can you run me through it again...
[14:43] <MikeDX> ta1: you sure it wasnt 52% free and not 52gb.. 160gb drive by any chance?
[14:43] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sure, open a terminal
[14:44] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok
[14:44] <burwaco> I think compiz really affects your productivity...
[14:44] <snsone> MikeDX:i dont know much about hard coding in ubuntu.i only disabled ipv6 in aliases
[14:44] <richard_> gretings
[14:44] <richard_> can someone help me
[14:44] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, cd to the directory containing the ies4linux.sh script
[14:44] <Lunks> kopsd: I'm running a new X session, but would like to specify screen resolution
[14:44] <ta1> MikeDX: yes it said 79GB and it is a 250gb drive
[14:44] <Lunks> like -depth specifies colour depth
[14:44] <richard_> i installed Windows live messenger with the help of wine
[14:44] <MikeDX> snsone paste your /etc/network/interfaces (on pastbin)
[14:44] <MikeDX> and i'll try to edit it for you
[14:45] <richard_> and i want to run it
[14:45] <dahitokiri> richard_, what happens when you do/\
[14:45] <richard_> can someone help
[14:45] <richard_> what do you mean
[14:45] <dahitokiri> s///\/?
[14:45] <delire> how do i restore the gnome-panel with all the Ubuntu defaults, just as they came out-of-the-box? deleting ~/.gnome-* panel files is not getting me anywhere.
[14:45] <kopsd> richard_: got amsn for linux
[14:45] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sudo ./ies4linux.sh
[14:45] <neopsyche> ok
[14:45] <manchicken> Quick, what are the hotkeys in GNOME Terminal to create a tab, and switch the currently-viewed tab?
[14:45] <richard_> i have but with amsn for linux you cannot remote control
[14:45] <Pici> !resetpanel | delire
[14:45] <ubotu> delire: To reset the GNOME panels back to their defaults, delete ~/.gconf/apps/panel/ , log out, then back in.
[14:46] <richard_> with windows live messenger you can
[14:46] <delire> richard_: '\' is an 'escape character' in UNIX REGEX contexts.
[14:46] <r3m0t> manchicken: ctrl+pgup and pgdown, ctrl+shift+t
[14:46] <dahitokiri> richard_, if you installed wine using ubuntu's package manager, your installed application should be under the main menu of your toolbar, under "Wine"
[14:46] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: command not found?
[14:46] <delire> ty Pici!
[14:46] <manchicken> r3m0t: Much thanks.
[14:46] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, it might be ies4lin or something, I forget
[14:46] <delire> Pici: admittedly it's been many years since i've really used gnome.
[14:46] <richard_> yes i already have the short cut on my desktop
[14:47] <richard_> when i lunch it it does not open
[14:47] <s00p> Man Gnome needs a weather applet that allows you to add your own city definitions w/o hacking an xml file.
[14:47] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: jimmydee
[14:47] <kopsd> richard_: but wine does not works with all windows-based application
[14:47] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, do a ls and tell me the .sh name
[14:47] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: could i just run it with terminal by right clicking?
[14:47] <kopsd> only some will
[14:47] <richard_> yes i think i just find out
[14:47] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, hurm, never actually made that work, try typing it out
[14:47] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ies4linux  lang  lib  LICENSE  README  ui  winereg
[14:47] <Lunks> richard_: You really should check #winehq. Also, http://appdb.winehq.org for Wine Compatibility. I'm sure Windows Live Messenger does not work.
[14:48] <Andycasss> Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows? I have sharing set up, now i want to know how much free space is there left for my stuff
[14:48] <richard_> i manage to install  Win4Lin pro
[14:48] <MikeDX> live msn does not work
[14:48] <MikeDX> 7 works to an extent. 8 - forget it
[14:48] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, you need the script, where did you untar the script?
[14:48] <MikeDX> even with the real windows dlls
[14:48] <Lunks> Yeah, 7 should work fine.
[14:48] <richard_> but i donot have any xp disk
[14:48] <snsone> MikeDX: this may take a while because the internet is very slow (about 1kb/s)
[14:48] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: untarred script on desktop
[14:48] <MikeDX> snsone your /etc/network/interfaces file should be 10 lines max!
[14:48] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, cd ~/Desktop please
[14:49] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[14:49] <JustinAllen> as?
[14:49] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok?
[14:49] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: im on the desktop in terminal now
[14:49] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, now ls and tell me the ies4linux.sh or somesuch filename
[14:49] <richard_> any idea to make my logitech usb webcam work
[14:49] <snsone> MikeDX: yes but i have to download the paste
[14:50] <MikeDX> i see
[14:50] <puplin> JustinAllen: use a memory card + reader :) other than that, i don't know
[14:50] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: no no... the untarred files are extracted into a folder called ies4linux.something.something
[14:50] <inxane> richard_: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fqce-ga.sourceforge.net%2F&ei=o-cpR5GkHqbMgQTBzvV_&usg=AFQjCNEWfMZ3oMrlWao999Hn5kOJQqOX5g&sig2=9S0G5jGiWZBwN4Tu68vGOw
[14:50] <JimmyDee> then cd ies4linux.something.something
[14:50] <MikeDX> JustinAllen:try putting the camera into mass storage and then mounting the camera directly
[14:50] <inxane> richard_: sorry.... http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/
[14:50] <MikeDX> or cd ies4[tab]
[14:51] <richard_> what does that do
[14:51] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: it says ies4linux.sh
[14:51] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: thats the name of the file
[14:51] <kopsd> richard_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[14:51] <noelferreira> how can i start xterm with no window borders?
[14:51] <JimmyDee> is it green?
[14:51] <snsone> MikeDX: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42901/
[14:51] <r3m0t> noelferreira: dare I ask why?
[14:52] <richard_> thank you
[14:52] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sudo ./ies4linux.sh and dont miss the "create desktop icon (Y/N)" line
[14:52] <noelferreira> because i want r3m0t, to use with vdr, just estetic
[14:52] <MikeDX> snsone what problem do you have with your network?
[14:52] <richard_> so any idea to make my windows live messenger lunch
[14:52] <MikeDX> what happens if you do sudo ifup eth1 from a shell
[14:52] <Andycasss> Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows? I have sharing set up, now i want to know how much free space is there left for my stuff
[14:52] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: do i need to put ./
[14:52] <MikeDX> richard_: why would you want to make lunch for it....
[14:52] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: it keeps saying command no tfound
[14:53] <snsone> MikeDX: it's going very slow (internet) and the dns's are reseting every 10 min
[14:53] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: should i run it sudo su?
[14:53] <John_R> andycasss: look for e2fs on google
[14:53] <r3m0t> noelferreira: if you want some windows with and others without, I'm not sure
[14:53] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sudo chmod +x ies4linux.sh
[14:53] <burwaco> does anyone know in the compiz setting manager where you can make the windows that lay on top of eachother appear in 3D, like there's space between the windows...
[14:53] <inxane> richard_: using wine?
[14:53] <dahitokiri> how do i find out which version of the kernel i'm running via the commandline?
[14:53] <r3m0t> burwaco: you mean Vista-style?
[14:53] <inxane> dahitokiri: uname -r
[14:53] <tristanmike> hi, quick question please. I installed "mplayer" and "mozilla-mplayer" but how do I get firefox to use the mozilla-mplayer plugin ? Thanks in advance :D
[14:53] <MikeDX> snsone:  is that a server? can you use dhcp?
[14:53] <bstock> snsone: first of all, put your 'auto' command above the config. secondly, are you trying to add custom DNS entries and they're getting reset to the dhcp ones?
[14:53] <richard_> i have already
[14:53] <dahitokiri> inxane, thanks
[14:53] <noelferreira> r3m0t: what is Vista-style?
[14:53] <inxane> dahitokiri: np
[14:53] <suemeee> dahitokiri, uname -r
[14:53] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: this is really confusing: chmod: cannot access `ies4linux.sh': No such file or directory
[14:54] <richard_> when i click on the icon it does not lunch
[14:54] <r3m0t> noelferreira: I mean Flip3D, Google it
[14:54] <donner> mplayer for life :>
[14:54] <tristanmike> :D
[14:54] <noelferreira> nothing of that r3m0t
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: but i am in .. :/home/andrew/Desktop/ies4linux-2.0.5#
[14:54] <snsone> bstock: yes,custom
[14:54] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, and the ies4linux.sh is green when you ls?
[14:54] <noelferreira> i just need to start an aplication in Xterm with no window borders. that's all
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: and it does infact have a file ies4linux
[14:54] <burwaco> r3m0t: no, I don't think so, I mean when you rotate the cube, the windows aren't flat on the cube, but there's like a space between all of them...
[14:54] <r3m0t> noelferreira: sorry, I don't know
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: shows up in nautilus
[14:54] <John_R> neopsyche: try chmod 0755 ./ies4linux.sh
[14:54] <snsone> MikeDX: no, i can't use
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: yes green
[14:54] <CarlFK> anyone have a URL about "Oracle recommends Ubuntu" ?
[14:55] <iceman> Hello everyone! What are the apps that an engineering student can use on ubuntu?
[14:55] <Alp`> with "sudo apt-get install " i get an auto completion. i made a shortcut alias called "ins" for that command to type in something like "ins ubuntu-desktop" instead of "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". but with "ins" i dont get auto-completion. how to fix (add) that?
[14:55] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, try sudo sh ies4linux.sh
[14:55] <John_R> the ./ is important
[14:55] <MikeDX> snsone have you edit /etc/resolv.conf ? you could try using the opendns servers
[14:55] <inxane> iceman: not an engineer, but browse synaptic
[14:55] <bstock> snsone: yeah, dhcp resets them. have you tried to go System -> Administration -> Network and adding DNS entries in there?
[14:55] <r3m0t> iceman: search for "engineer" in @add/remove applications"
[14:55] <noelferreira> lol r3m0t, flip3d you must be kiding
[14:55] <noelferreira> :)
[14:55] <John_R> neopsyche: to run ies4linux, use ./ies4linux.sh
[14:55] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: sh: Can't open ies4linux.sh
[14:55] <Pici> neopsyche: Either create a desktop launcher and point it to your app, or run it from one of the vttys with DISPLAY=0:0 prefixing it  .  or whatever your x display is on
[14:55] <JustinAllen> MikeDx: how do i go about mounting it manually? what would it show up under? /dev? i'm not sure how to determine if linux is seeing it as being able to be mounted.....
[14:56] <John_R> just type ./ies4linbux.sh
[14:56] <SpikePT> Pici: Can I boot gParted from USB Flash Drive? Just b copying ISO's contents into the Drive?
[14:56] <snsone> bstocl: yes i tried there and in /etc/resolv.conf and they are reseting
[14:56] <iceman> Are these apps present in the default repos??
[14:56] <noelferreira> i use flip3d in linux at least for 5 or 6 years r3m0t
[14:56] <Pici> SpikePT: I dont think that will work.
[14:56] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, when you type ls ies* what does it say?
[14:56] <inxane> JustinAllen: type dmesg and see what /dev/sd? device is listed when you plug it in
[14:56] <Pici> SpikePT: The gparted website might have more information about doing that though.
[14:56] <SpikePT> Pici: Thanks.
[14:56] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: it says ies4linux (in green )
[14:56] <s00p> SpikePT: I think there is a mini USB version of a gparted live cd
[14:56] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: bright green ;-)
[14:56] <snsone> bstock: yes i tried there and in /etc/resolv.conf and they are reseting

[15:00] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, gotta do it all or it dont work
[15:00] <YanchoAWY> Linking /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init to /etc/init.d/ls.init ... ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init' to `/etc/init.d/ls.init': No such file or directory <- is this the result of trying to install a RedHat Application on Ubuntu?
[15:00] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok.. but what about my old files.. will they be over written?
[15:00] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, yup
[15:00] <Pici> YanchoAWY: It very likely might be
[15:00] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: the stuff i previously installed i dont want it cluttering up the system
[15:00] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, all goes in the same place, you'll be fine
[15:01] <YanchoAWY> Pici i did install alien .. but nothing changed
[15:01] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: cool
[15:01] <riderrr> ty ubotu the nounting worked!!
[15:01] <manchicken> Anybody ever gotten anything to sync with a blackberry?
[15:01] <Pici> YanchoAWY: Did you install something with alien?
[15:01] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: what im confused about.. why does it not run when i simply right click run in terminal from nautilus .. diddnt install icons?
[15:02] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: in other words.. i did the whole process .. but it diddnt install properly.. diddnt give an start file in bin in home/me
[15:02] <Fallion55> hello all
[15:02] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, this is a question I cannot answer, I think scripts belong in the terminal
[15:02] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: hmm
[15:02] <YanchoAWY> Pici no .. i just added it to my system .. now i have the install.sh .. how can i run it with alien?
[15:02] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok thanks.
[15:02] <jditto> hello, i need some help with a terminal command to remount/turn on a removeable hdd after ejecting it.
[15:03] <Fallion55> wow... lot's of questions
[15:03] <Pici> YanchoAWY: alien is only for running RPMs. not shell scripts.  If it was designed for a redhat system it might not work at all or it might work fine.
[15:03] <pike_> jditto: something like 'sudo mount -o remount /directory' ?
[15:03] <JimmyDee> just another feisty day in ubuntuland fallion
[15:03] <Fallion55> yeah... I see that
[15:03] <genii> YanchoAWY: Alien is only good for pre-packages RMP type packages. It won't help much with binary RedHat installations
[15:03] <snsone> bstock: ok dont that so it should work now, as in no more resets right?
[15:03] <pike_> jditto: its not remounting automatically?
[15:03] <YanchoAWY> argggh :( .. so there is much more chance for me to make the win version work than the redhat

[15:04] <genii> Pici: Sorry for repeat of your answer LOL was looking at keyboard while typing and not screen etc
[15:05] <Fallion55> ok... thanks for all the answers... ...is #nvidia really a room or is that a joke?
[15:05] <snsone> bstock: the internet is very slow, though the ipv6 is disabled
[15:05] <JimmyDee> Fallion55, nope no joke
[15:05] <r3m0t> I believed it
[15:05] <JustinAllen> inxane: i don't see any entry for /dev/sd when i type in dmesg...
[15:05] <Pici> genii: its okay. I actually thought you were correcting my RPM spelling at first

[15:06] <jditto> no, i have a client(non profit) i'm doing some free work for and i'm trying to make things as simple as possible.  i want to mount the hdd for backups, but i also want the client to be able to swap drives whenever they want. so the process would be plug drive in at a certain time at night run backup, then eject drive when completed.  then next night have it reinitialize drive without unplugging and plugging drive in. the client will remo

[15:06] <inxane> JustinAllen: strange... you should show some type of device with a partition number when you plug the device in
[15:06] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: yeah i know... are they against world domination of linux?
[15:06] <r3m0t> Fallion55: ask there!
[15:06] <bstock> snsone: i dunno, could be a lot of different things. out-of-the-box, the dhcp setup should have worked fine for you

[15:13] <manchicken> r3m0t: Is that in the repos?
[15:13] <ikonia> snsone you'll need iptables or squid for that
[15:13] <r3m0t> manchicken: it's part of ubuntu-desktop! you should have it, unless I misnamed it
[15:14] <jditto> inxane: sure, but it would be nice to have it turn off using eject command. then have it turned back on and automatically remounted. that way it wouldn't matter if they forget to swap backup drive randomly there wouldn't be any problems.
[15:14] <r3m0t> it's called deskbar-applet

[15:16] <boris> donner : im not registered so i cant send u pvt messages, join #ubuntu-serbia and we'll talk there
[15:16] <r3m0t> manchicken: I don't know exactly - if you want to disable modules other than the launcher, that could work
[15:16] <gerro> freak124 use dd to blank drive it has corrupt mbr
[15:16] <ikonia> snsone I told you - you don't just setup your other nick, you'll need to either write a set of iptable rules to allow other machiens to access, or you'll need to setup a squid proxy
[15:16] <manchicken> r3m0t: Have yo used katapult before?
[15:17] <inxane> JustinAllen: well, it may be vfat... so try 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/camera

[15:18] <trukosh> Hi. I have openvpn and shorewall running. When Shorewall starts after a reboot, the tun0 interface of openvpn isn't up, so shorewall fails to start. (wait_interface tun0 is set). One can solve this, by adding openvpn to runlevel S. (cd /etc/rcS.d; ln -s ../init.d/openvpn S16openvpn). Will this symlink be overwritten/deleted when an update is done or will it last?
[15:18] <gerro> dirtbag666 i use brasero might want to try it
[15:18] <MikeDX> i just managedc to kill my mysql installation - is there an easy way (ive tried dkpg-reconfigure, and i've tried apt-get remove and apt-get install) to get the original file structure back?
[15:19] <r3m0t> manchicken: deskbar does all that, but the display is at a side of your screen. you can give it a keyboard shortcut

[15:19] <manchicken> r3m0t: Does it?
[15:19] <frederick85> I deleted an important file accidentally how can i retrieve it
[15:19] <jditto> happyfeet: log into diagnosti mode of ubuntu then setup a password for root
[15:19] <trukosh> Thx MikeDX
[15:19] <gerro> dirtbag666 check md5sum of what you burned and enable integrity check of cd with k3b, perhaps lower burn speed
[15:19] <JustinAllen> inxane: winblows shows FAT....lemme try that...
[15:19] <inxane> frederick85: you are probably screwed.
[15:19] <ikonia> jditto 1.) don't receommend that 2.) thats the most long winded way of setting a root password
[15:20] <MikeDX> trukosh: those are only created normally the first time you install it
[15:20] <ikonia> JustinAllen do you mean "windows"
[15:20] <MikeDX> apt remembers... i think
[15:20] <jditto> idonia: sure but it works

[15:20] <Davy_Jones> i got a graphics tablet.. it worked when i connected it and now it doesn't.. what should i do?

[15:20] <r3m0t> manchicken: yes

[15:20] <ikonia> JustinAllen its called windows not "winblows" or "M$" or anyhting like that
[15:20] <manchicken> r3m0t: How do you get it to do calculations and spellcheck and all that?
[15:20] <gerro> dirtbag666 it same comp you trying to mount it on?
[15:20] <manchicken> r3m0t: I only see searching.
[15:21] <inxane> ikonia: it's called humor... you should try it sometime

[15:25] <inxane> JustinAllen: hmm, stupid question, but you are including the 1 in sda1, correct?
[15:25] <troughton> i have updated to 7.10 and it has added a wlan0:ava that is conflicting with wlan0 and making my wirless unusable
[15:25] <ankur> StucKman_, he he ;)
[15:25] <StucKman_> anyways, I can't see any problems with your fstab
[15:26] <troughton> can anyone help ?
[15:26] <Pici> SaToNiO: windowskey+O
[15:26] <adac2> why is gutsy so slow at booting?
[15:26] <Fallion55> heh... this is the funniest chatroom I've ever been in
[15:26] <MikeDX> why is gutsy so slow...
[15:26] <StucKman_> ankur: have you tried to run fsck with --force?
[15:26] <MikeDX> ive gone back to feisty can you believe it
[15:26] <ikonia> adac2 thats a matter of your hardware/configuration/personal opinion
[15:26] <SaToNiO> thank you pici
[15:26] <ankur> ya I always use fsck -f
[15:26] <grubhelp> hi, I hosed my grub.  Is there a quick and easy way to fix that?
[15:26] <JustinAllen> inxane: lol..had to check..yes i am....i'm typing sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/camera
[15:26] <StucKman_> ankur: rhen dunno
[15:26] <adac2>  ikonia: think 2 minutes its simply too long isn't it?
[15:26] <ikonia> grubhelp define "hosed grub"
[15:26] <YanchoAWY> Pici .. so you think that it is harder for me to try to get a Redhat application working rather than a Windows one? and use win with it ?
[15:27] <javb> If i have a print server, hosting drivers and everything, and Ubuntu, in its Printers drivers database doesnt have this printer, will the printserver work ? And Ubuntu doesnt care about the driver? O it will act as a printer sharing? needing the drivers?
[15:27] <manchicken> r3m0t: It doesn't have a calc program on it... but that's okay, I've still got my kubuntu machine for that ;)
[15:27] <grubhelp> I can currently not boot windows OR ubuntu
[15:27] <awilliams> anyone have any good solutions for syncing an ipod?
[15:27] <trukosh> MikeDX: If --purge doesn't help: Do it again. Then delete all info files (for mysql) under /var/lib/dpkg/info. Move /var/lib/mysql out of the way and then reinstall. Should work..
[15:27] <ikonia> grubhelp what have you done and what is the eror
[15:27] <ankur> StucKman_, anyway thanks, I will try again
[15:27] <Fallion55> heh... You guys in the know need to create a "stand in line" based answer system.
[15:27] <Pici> YanchoAWY: I'd try using Wine to get the windows version to work, before delving into fixing the redhat one.
[15:27] <r3m0t> manchicken: you can surely get something, although I think deskbar may have broken their API at inappropriate times
[15:27] <achadwick> grubhelp: if it's hosed, gpart might help.
[15:28] <riderrr> how can I get my ATI Radeon 7000/VE graphics card to successfully display both of my monitors?
[15:28] <MikeDX> oh cool i never knew alt+tab in a console shows you your latest commands!
[15:28] <YanchoAWY> damn Pici .. i am nost sure if the wine is working or not hehe .. it is getting the screen but then not sure if it is closing coz that is its job or not
[15:28] <inxane> JustinAllen: i'm sorry, but I don't quite know what to suggest next.
[15:28] <MikeDX> trukosh: i'm going to try that now, thanks :)
[15:28] <Pici> YanchoAWY: What software is it that you're trying to install?
[15:28] <Fallion55> anyone know where the nvidia ubuntu forum is?
[15:28] <awilliams> anyone know if itunes will work with wine?
[15:29] <burwaco> Is there anyone that got GTA San Andreas working on linux ?
[15:29] <JustinAllen> inxane: hehe..it's all good..i'll tinker with it more..you've helped me a lot further than where i was..so thta's good....
[15:29] <MikeDX> awilliams: yes but not the latest version
[15:29] <yup> hello
[15:29] <inxane> JustinAllen: cool, good luck
[15:29] <manchicken> r3m0t: Is there an appropriate time to break one's API? :P
[15:29] <ikonia> Fallion55 nvidia ubuntu forum ?
[15:29] <yup> i recently installed ubuntu, but there are not desktop icons
[15:29] <awilliams> is there a certain version I should get?
[15:29] <JustinAllen> inxane: thanks..i'm definetly gonna need it...hehe
[15:29] <Fallion55> I tried the #nvidia room
[15:29] <yup> how can I make desktop icons such as my computer, networking, visible on desktop ?
[15:29] <ikonia> Fallion55 just ask the question
[15:29] <Pici> !icons | yup
[15:29] <ubotu> yup: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[15:30] <inxane> yup gconf-editor
[15:30] <Wanderer> Anyone running vmware workstation on latest gutsy?
[15:30] <Fallion55> I want to get my 6800gt working correctly
[15:30] <Fallion55> I don't know what I'm doing
[15:30] <ikonia> Fallion55 what do you mean by working correctly ?
[15:30] <dirtbag666> Wanderer:yes, i am
[15:30] <YanchoAWY> Pici LanSafe of Powerware .. UPS monitoring via network
[15:30] <Wanderer> dirtbag666: linux guest?
[15:30] <Fallion55> enable both monitors without
[15:30] <yup> thanks
[15:30] <javb> If i have a print server, hosting drivers and everything, and Ubuntu, in its Printers drivers database doesnt have this printer, will the printserver work ? And Ubuntu doesnt care about the driver? O it will act as a printer sharing? needing the drivers?
[15:30] <Fallion55> scroll effects
[15:30] <Wanderer> dirtbag666: I've got a gutsy host and a gutsy guest
[15:30] <dirtbag666> Wanderer: WinXP on VMWare Workstation
[15:30] <Wanderer> trying to get vmware tools to compile
[15:30] <Pici> YanchoAWY: hmm..
[15:30] <troughton> i am having a problem with my wirless the update to gusty has added a wlan0:ava and it conflicting with my wlan0 how can i disable wlan0:ava ???
[15:31] <dirtbag666> dirtbag666: is there an error while compiling?
[15:31] <achadwick> MikeDX: so it is. Actually, it's recent word completion (type a partial word, and hit alt-tab :), and presumably it'll work in other readline-aware things.
[15:31] <Wanderer> troughton: stop avahi
[15:31] <ikonia> Fallion55 to use dual monitor with nvidia you have the option of using xinerama or nvidia's own twin view. There are tools such as "nvidia-settings" to help you set this up but my personal opinion is that those tools are not mature enough and youi'll end up building your own config from hand
[15:31] <MikeDX> its cool
[15:31] <MikeDX> very handy
[15:31] <Wanderer> dirtbag666: yeah, says it can't find version.h
[15:31] <Wanderer> i've instaled the headers but it doesn't like them
[15:31] <Fallion55> everything is either oversized or i have to move my mouse to the edge of the screen to make it move around
[15:31] <MikeDX> but ive just stuffed my server with this mysql problem... time to reinstall :(
[15:31] <bulmer> troughton-> curiosity, is that an additional entry in /etc/network/interfaces?
[15:31] <ikonia> Wanderer your missing your header files, or your Makefile is looking in the wrong place for them
[15:32] <ikonia> MikeDX what is your mysql problem
[15:32] <dirtbag666> Wanderer: try google, there's a patch for VMWare
[15:32] <Fallion55> ok... so i can get xinerama from the synaptic package manager?
[15:32] <ikonia> Fallion55 no - xinerama is an externsioon to the xorg server
[15:32] <Wanderer> thats the any-any patch, didn't think it was for vmware tools
[15:32] <JustinAllen> inxane: ok..i changed it to PTP setting instead of Mass Storage and when i issue my mount command i get this instead.....mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
[15:32] <Wanderer> I'll try it though, thanks
[15:32] <JustinAllen> inxane: but dmesg shows it as being sda1 still....
[15:32] <MikeDX> ive screwed up the files in /var/lib/mysql and now I cant get them back. i've also removed the mysql* files in /var/lib/apt/info :D
[15:32] <troughton> Wanderer unknown job bulmer not listed in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:33] <MikeDX> apt-get remove, dpkg --purge and apt-get install all fail
[15:33] <ikonia> MikeDX you'll have to re-install then really
[15:33] <Fallion55> ok... so what do you mean by building my own by hand....
[15:33] <MikeDX> yep
[15:33] <ikonia> ooh the remove fails.
[15:33] <Fallion55> I'm no programmer
[15:33] <MikeDX> well, no the remove just does bugger all
[15:33] <ikonia> Fallion55 you don't need to be a programmer
[15:33] <inxane> JustinAllen: did you unplug it and replug it in?
[15:33] <ikonia> MikeDX what about the purge ?
[15:33] <JustinAllen> inxane: yes
[15:33] <MikeDX> erm.. says it worked
[15:33] <MikeDX> then install doesnt put the files back
[15:33] <Fallion55> where do I start then?
[15:33] <MikeDX> its ok, a reinstall isnt the end of the world. its a test server anyway
[15:34] <progress0r> i had a disk fill to capacity. Now for one reason or another i get errors on certain applications i.e. LD_PRELOAD ... some .so cannot be loaded. I verified the file exists. any ideas?
[15:34] <ikonia> MikeDX: thats odd
[15:34] <MikeDX> very
[15:34] <MikeDX> its my own fault though

[15:34] <ikonia> Fallion55 read up on xinerama, hang around in #nvidia or try the nvidia-settings application
