[07:23] <QuickThinkOfANam> I would like Network-Manager to show something like this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hoL9qH83NDM/SLqi6XGydwI/AAAAAAAAADs/8cLpaXFrvvw/s1600-h/Network+Manager+0.7.gif
[07:23] <isaak> verdnum i wish i could but my scanner issue is not solved
[07:24] <Valinant> 0__o nope, I only have a button at the bottom left that says 1256 users and i can click it to get a user list
[07:24] <werdnum> isaak: It's not a prerequisite for sleep.
[07:24] <silv3r_m001> hello
[07:24] <werdnum> Unless it's a *flatbed* scanner, and you need it to sleep on.
[07:24]  * werdnum hides.
[07:24] <silv3r_m001> i am using a hp f300 printer+ scanner but hp fax utility says no device found
[07:24] <usr13> user_2: Do you need to listen on multiple IPs?
[07:24] <isaak> werdnum,  ya i need to sleep on it
[07:25] <isaak> werdnum,  and drool on it someone help make my scanner bed
[07:25] <user_2> usr13: no just one host should beable to send/receive to another computer though webservices
[07:25] <user_2> usr13: sorry my networking skills are not so hot
[07:25] <isaak> i am missing vista a lot right now
[07:26] <isaak> i can just install anything i want without having to ask ppl
[07:26] <d0netsFN> hey how do you enable laptop mode in terminal
[07:26] <user_2> usr13: I want the host pc to be able to talk to the guest, but there is no ip address avaialbe
[07:26] <d0netsFN> i read the man but im still confusd
[07:27] <user_2> usr13: I read in this tutorial: http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/virtualbox-windows-vista-host-network-bridge-and-tap/ to make host use a "Host Interface"
[07:28] <usr13> user_2: Let me look at that for a min
[07:28] <user_2> usr13: this tutorial's guest is Vista, and mine is Ubuntu,, Thanks!
[07:30] <Slart> bah.. the latest update made flash stop using pulseaudio for some reason.. how do I tell flash what sound system to use?
[07:31] <PC_Nerd> Once ive connected into an FTP server, how can I open documents as though I was running "sudo nano <file>" on the actual server?
[07:31] <HorizonXP> i'm trying to install some libraries, but i run LDD and it's not finding them I think I need to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH. which file should I edit to export this on a system-wide level?
[07:32] <Slart> PC_Nerd: are you sure you *can* do that?
[07:32] <codeyman> The file system on my ubuntu has become read only
[07:32] <codeyman> can someone help?
[07:32] <clem> ok so ive got xubuntu installed on a lv i went to expand a volume. but ubuntu doesnt see the new space. gparted does
[07:32] <PC_Nerd> nope - but I thought you shoudl be able to do a  "run as" or something?  I have root access to ther server, but for security im using a standard user.    any ideas on how to edit those files?
[07:33] <Slart> codeyman: it does that if something goes wrong during boot.. you'll have to find out the reason.. are there any error messages when you boot up?
[07:33] <Slart> PC_Nerd: what connection are you using? ftp?
[07:34] <PC_Nerd> ftp (places, connect to server)    I can ssh into the server, but I prefer to use gedit etc.
[07:34] <Slart> PC_Nerd: you'll need to use ssh or similar if you want to run stuff on the server
[07:34] <shiraj> hey guys
[07:34] <clem> how do you expand a jfs filesystem , in the terminal
[07:34] <magicsrv> could someone give me a repo list that includes skype?
[07:34] <codeyman> Slart: I just see the splash screen and says that trying different splash sizes.. but thats about it (apart from bash complaining that it cant create tmp files and dropping me to /)
[07:34] <Slart> PC_Nerd: you can use ssh -X gedit bla bla bla if you want to run gedit on the remote system
[07:35] <shiraj> anyone know why an entry in my /etc/hosts file doesnt resolve?
[07:35] <Slart> codeyman: hmm.. disk full?
[07:35] <DIFH-iceroot> !skype | magicsrv
[07:35] <quibbler> magicsrv, medibuntu
[07:35] <shiraj> i can connect to it if i put in the IP but not if i put the hostname i specify in the hosts file
[07:35] <magicsrv> ty
[07:35] <Slart> PC_Nerd: ftp is "File Transfer Protocol".. I think that's about all you can do.. transfer files..
[07:35] <codeyman> Slart: no way.. this is a almost new pc.. one sec.let me check if that is the case
[07:36] <quibbler> magicsrv, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[07:36] <codeyman> slart: no disk is not full
[07:36] <PC_Nerd> ok....  so then I guess the question would be how can I mount the remote server filesystem?  ie:   /server/usr/local/apache2/htdocs       would be /usr/local...... on the server?
[07:36] <codeyman> boot up says: 19+0 out
[07:36] <the|Navigator> Is it possible to change the ubuntu boot logo foe something else?
[07:36] <magicsrv> quibbler: found it, tnx
[07:36] <codeyman> 19+0 in.. kinit trying to resume
[07:37] <Slart> PC_Nerd: I would use something like nfs.. or sshfs since you already have an ssh connection configured
[07:37] <clem> how do i expand a JFS filesystem
[07:37] <Slart> the|Navigator: possible, yes... easy, not sure
[07:37] <Slart> !splash | the|Navigator
[07:38] <PC_Nerd> ok thanks .
[07:38] <codeyman> Slart: I tried remounting as rw, fscking while on livecd.. didn't help
[07:38] <maodun> I'd like to launch gnome-terminal (from my terminal) and have the new terminal window be positioned at some X,Y on my screen.  How can I do this?
[07:38] <the|Navigator> Thank you, Slart!
[07:38] <codeyman> Slart: I tried dpkg-reconfigure linux-image incase some kernel issue
[07:38] <Slart> maodun: check the man page for gnome-terminal
[07:39] <Slart> codeyman: those are all very good ideas.. much better than I could think of at the moment
[07:39] <Slart> codeyman: nothing useful in dmesg?
[07:39] <monstah> is there any way to force window title in xterm?
[07:39] <markupdude> we call the regular networking cable as RJ45 like this one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Ethernet_RJ45_connector_p1160054.jpg right?
[07:39] <monstah> if i use -T (-title) option it just sets it back to my default prompt
[07:40] <markupdude> so what would i call the one with a smaller head than that
[07:40] <Slart> monstah: yes.. there is a way to set the title using.. echo I think.. and some weird esc sequences
[07:40] <user_2> usr13: I'm starting to think it is a problem with my router not assigned new ipaddresses
[07:40] <shiraj> anyone have any guess as to why samba wont connect to a server when i use a hostname but it will when i specify the IP?
[07:40] <Slart> markupdude: rj-10 is the name for the connector used by some phones iirc
[07:40] <maodun> Slart: cool, looks like I want to play with the geometry flag.  thanks.
[07:41] <Slart> maodun: ah.. yes.. geometry.. that's the one
[07:41] <markupdude> actually i don't know much about networking, i don't think my old Desktop has a modem internal on board... its using a USB port to connect to internet
[07:41] <Slart> maodun: you're welcome
[07:41] <markupdude> so i bought a modem which looks like this - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=406084&CatId=563
[07:41] <codeyman> Slart: I see ExT3-fs: INFO; recovery required on readonly filesystem
[07:41] <markupdude> so that i can connect my newer laptop [XP] to my old desktop [Ubuntu]
[07:41] <Slart> codeyman: and running fsck and badblocks on it doesn't do anything?
[07:42] <Vinceman> is it being logged somewhere what all updates you installed to your ubuntu?
[07:42] <magicsrv> quibbler: Installer says "Wrong architecture: i386" any ideas?
[07:42] <markupdude> but that modem came with a thinner cable... and not the bigger point....
[07:42] <codeyman> then i see EXT3-fs: recoverycomplete.. mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
[07:42] <codeyman> Slart: fsck finds it clean
[07:42] <monstah> Slart: huh ok :D
[07:42] <Vinceman> uc right now I can install 24 updates again
[07:42] <shiraj> markupdude: sounds liek you bought a dialup modem
[07:42] <Slart> markupdude: I think that cable is for the phone line
[07:42] <codeyman> I tried forcing it.. doesn't work
[07:42] <Vinceman> it is important to know what is all up to date
[07:42] <shiraj> markupdude: you need an ethernet card
[07:42] <Slart> markupdude: isn't there an usb or serial connection for the computer?
[07:43] <Vinceman> except it is sooo much!!
[07:43] <Vinceman> no not markupdude, updates dude!
[07:43] <quibbler> magicsrv, you using 64 bits?
[07:43] <phix> dpkg: error processing sun-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2+18_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[07:44] <mistergibson> if I need to recover file from a partition, what are the best tools to use?
[07:44] <codeyman> phix: You are using a 32bit deb on a 64 bit system
[07:44] <QuickThinkOfANam> anyone know anything about network manager and want to help?
[07:44] <phix> codeyman: so?
[07:45] <markupdude> shiraj: yes i think so, i bought a old style slow modem :(
[07:45] <Slart> monstah: try echo -e "\033]2;NewTitle*\007"
[07:45] <loller> hi , i`ve already report for the bug but i`ll paste the bug here also http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m382d4c61 during the installation the update manager ask me if i want to modify menu.lst but i choose to use the local because i usually change only the number ok kernel i wish to boot manually
[07:45] <codeyman> phix: doesnt work
[07:45] <phix> codeyman: why not?
[07:45] <loller> of**
[07:45] <markupdude> shiraj: i will explain,  both my laptop n desktop are connected to one modem...my ISP has given me 2 connectors... a normal RJ45 kind of cable which i connect to the laptop[XP] coz it has inbuilt modem, and then there is one USB cable which i use to connect to the ubuntu desktop
[07:45] <phix> codeyman: so how can I make it work?
[07:46] <markupdude> shiraj: so now i just want to connect my laptop+desktop to transfer files
[07:46] <magicsrv> quibbler: no idea, the PC's not mine
[07:46] <markupdude> will that be possible
[07:46] <codeyman> phix: get the 64 bit binaries
[07:46] <Vinceman> if you faithfully install all updates requested you never have to do a big one, right?
[07:46] <shiraj> markupdude: why dont you set up file sharing
[07:46] <phix> codeyman: but I have a 64bit CPU which supports 32bit binaries
[07:46] <shiraj> markupdude: what do you need to xfer between computers?
[07:47] <phix> codeyman: I cant make the 64bit binaries because make-jpkg fails
[07:47] <markupdude> shiraj: before that setting i am confused what should i connect to what? like both the computers are connected to the same modem, via different sorts of cables, and the IP is dynamic
[07:47] <codeyman> phix: what are you trying to do
[07:47] <markupdude> shiraj: and i have 1 1 empty ports available on both the laptop , desktop, the thinner phone line kinda port
[07:47] <shiraj> markupdude: you can probably set the local IPs to be static and set up a local network
[07:48] <Slart> monstah: hmm.. that one might have been a bit wrong.. here's what bash uses to set the title.. echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007
[07:48] <phix> codeyman: I am trying to build a deb package from java's JDK version 1.4 bins
[07:48] <tyler_d> the answer - not documented anywhere btw, was -0 within gnome-rdp
[07:48] <phix> codeyman: I want to have a JDK 1.4 installation as well as a JDK 1.6
[07:48] <markupdude> shiraj: so the cables that are using internet i can use them to transfer files or do i need extra cable
[07:48] <markupdude> shiraj: i do have a crossover cable though, dunno if it will help :)
[07:48] <shiraj> markupdude: yeah the wires you have should be good you jsut need to set up the software
[07:49] <markupdude> shiraj: i see
[07:49] <codeyman> phix: unless I'm mistaken.. you need 64bit version of files
[07:49] <markupdude> ok then i will google more
[07:49] <phix> codeyman: so I can't tell dpkg to force install?
[07:49] <shiraj> markupdude: you could do crossover as a last resort but try setting up samba first
[07:49] <codeyman> phix: no
[07:49] <markupdude> samba..humm
[07:49] <phix> codeyman: why? ubuntu has 32bit libraries too
[07:49] <codeyman> phix: ubuntu has different repos for 64bit and 32bit
[07:49] <shiraj> markupdude: can you check the ips of both the computers?
[07:50] <markupdude> shiraj: yes 1 min
[07:50] <quibbler> magicsrv, if it is 64 bits look here for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295
[07:50] <shiraj> markupdude: they should be something like 192.168.x.x
[07:51] <phix> codeyman: ok so how do I mangle a 32bit package to to be a 64bit package?
[07:51] <markupdude> shiraj: they are like xxx.xx.204.4 and xxx.xx.202.47
[07:51] <shiraj> are the xxx.xx parts identical?
[07:51] <markupdude> yea same
[07:51] <codeyman> phix: I have no idea.. if pkg is difficult to find.. I would just compile from sources..
[07:51] <Slart> phix: you would have to recompile it.. afaik there is no automatic way
[07:52] <loller> how to check from terminal in which kernel version i`m running into
[07:52] <Slart> loller: uname -a
[07:52] <shiraj> markupdude: try connecting to xxx.xx.1.1 from in a web browser
[07:52] <shiraj> see if anything comes up
[07:52] <shiraj> are you on the xp or ubuntu right now?
[07:53] <markupdude> shiraj: keeps loading on both PCs... i am on the ubuntu one now
[07:53] <markupdude> but xp laptop is ON besides me
[07:53] <hossam> how can i force a umount on a drive? (os states /media/USB is busy)
[07:54] <shiraj> open a cmd terminal on the windows one and do ipconfig /all
[07:54] <QuickThinkOfANam> haha okay so for anyone who was listening or anyone that cares, the way to get the nm-applet back up is to click 'add to panel' -> 'Notification Area' -> 'add' and poof, good as new
[07:54] <werdnum> hossam: umount -f
[07:54] <markupdude> shiraj: ok then
[07:54] <shiraj> markupdude: and see what it says under gateway
[07:55] <markupdude> shiraj: ok noticed.... u want me to compair that with ubuntu one?
[07:56] <shiraj> markupdude: nah try connecting to that adress in the browser
[07:56] <markupdude> ah
[07:56] <shiraj> see if you get a password prompt or something
[07:56] <hossam> i try to apply a setfacl on the files within my mounted drive but get the error Operation not supported, I tried to add acl to the fstab entry and remount, but that didnt do it
[07:56] <hossam> what can i do
[07:56] <Boohbah> shiraj: it's like you're trying to get him to connect to a router that doesn't exist...
[07:56] <markupdude> shiraj: keeps loading
[07:56] <shiraj> thats wierd
[07:57] <shiraj> yeah i figured it was a router
[07:57] <markupdude> btw otherwise what is a good solution to connect/share net/file transfer between PCs/OSed
[07:57] <markupdude> diff OSes
[07:58] <moza> hello all, i tried to get rid of my proxy in ubuntu (8.04) but i don't manage to get rid of it totally... i tried the "usual" way (through system>
[07:58] <markupdude> and i think buying that dial up modem was a waste
[07:59] <moza> (through the gui, but i always need to explicitly export http_proxy=""> to
[07:59] <arooni-mobile> is there a light weight tasque like app for interfacing with google calendar?  (that is not evolutoin or thunderbird)?  like a widget for quickly adding new events?   that works for ubuntu hardy?
[07:59] <shiraj> markupdude: im assuming youre on a cable/dsl connection?
[07:59] <moza> to be able to access the network properly
[08:00] <markupdude> shiraj: yes [indian slow highspeed broadband ;)]
[08:00] <bob123> I plan on upggrading from asus EEE PC 901 to N10 J laptop .. will it be mostly as simple as copying my /home folder from one laptop to the other?
[08:00] <can> hello all, any experts with hdmi flash audio issues?
[08:00] <markupdude> shiraj: its a solid cable, plus TV
[08:00] <shiraj> markupdude: you could get a cheapo router and hook up both pcs to that
[08:00] <markupdude> i heard getting a router will solve evrything
[08:01] <magicsrv> how can I mount the partition, that my ubuntu 8,10 intreped is installed inside windows on?
[08:01] <shiraj> markupdude: lol yeah i was assuming you were connected to one
[08:01] <markupdude> shiraj: hummmm just a bit confused like how would i use it
[08:01] <shiraj> markupdude: hook the modem to the internet port on the router and connect the 2 pcs to the lan ports
[08:01] <markupdude> shiraj: heh he .... like if i get a router... i will connect my modem given by ISP to the router via
[08:02] <markupdude> shiraj: i see
[08:02] <hossam> can i set the acl mount option to a vfat mounted drive?
[08:02] <shiraj> markupdude: then set up samba and windows file sharing
[08:02] <isaak> can someone please help me
[08:02] <isaak> with finding my scanner
[08:02] <markupdude> shiraj: humm sounds much much easier
[08:03] <shiraj> markupdude: yeah its not too hard
[08:03] <magicsrv> Hi! I have ubuntu 8,10 intreped installed inside windows on my second partition of the hdd0, can anyone tell me how to mount that drive in order to access files on it?
[08:03] <markupdude> shiraj: oh btw my desktop does not have a modem...its currently using the USB option to connect to net...so when i get a router again i have to buy another modem for the PC [this dial up is of no use?]
[08:04] <shiraj> markupdude: you need a NIC card not a modem
[08:04] <moza> magicsrv : windows won't see the linux partition, if you're talking about dual boot and want to access your linux partition from windows. i tried this myself. my solution was to create a "data" partition and put all the shared files in it.
[08:05] <can> anyone have issues with intrepid and flash - video is fine but no audio?
[08:05] <cbilljones> there is a ext3 driver for windows that ive had success with
[08:05] <magicsrv> moza: the exact opposite - I want to access the windows partition, that I installed ubuntu on
[08:05] <shiraj> markupdude: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2002810000+40000027&Configurator=&Subcategory=-1&description=&Ntk=&SpeTabStoreType=0&srchInDesc=
[08:05] <shiraj> any of those
[08:05] <Slart> can: I have that after todays update
[08:05] <markupdude> shiraj: damn i went to the store with thing in mind [just an interface/device which has a hole to attach the RJ45 cable] but asked for a modem instead :(
[08:05] <FloodBot1> shiraj: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:05] <shiraj> oops
[08:06] <Slart> can: after a little experimentation it seems padsp isn't working as it should... haven't found a solution to that yet
[08:06] <quibbler> magicsrv, http://www.fs-driver.org/
[08:06] <markupdude> shiraj: i have a similar thing !
[08:06] <can> slart: most of the forum stuff i've been reading suggests to take out pulseaudio altogether
[08:07] <can> slart: and install esound
[08:07] <Slart> can: that seems kind of backwards.. I'd rather try to fix pulseaudio
[08:07] <moza> magicsrv, then you only need to mount (the command mount) the partition, like any other partition. But i don't understand how you installed linux ON the windows partition?
[08:07] <magicsrv> moza: it's ubuntu installed with wubi ;) Inside Windows
[08:07] <can> slart: Is flash the only thing you have issues with?
[08:08] <markupdude> shiraj: like this http://img.alibaba.com/photo/200068309/Computer_Fax_Modem_SmartLink_chipset_.jpg
[08:08] <magicsrv> moza: could you give me a specific cmd?
[08:08] <can> slart: my issue is just flash.
[08:08] <moza> "mount" is the command
[08:08] <Slart> can: yes.. everything else seems to work
[08:08] <can> slart: vlc, mplayer works fine
[08:08] <markupdude> anyway will see if i can get a router
[08:08] <nightrid3r> i have a headless box running gnome that i want to use from my laptop, i must be able to logon, what software will i need on client and server side
[08:08] <Slart> can: yup.. everything that uses pulseaudio natively works fine
[08:08] <moza> magicsrv, you usually use it as : mount /dev/partition_desired /media/mount_point
[08:08] <shiraj> markupdude: thats not the right one, make sure it says 10/100 ethernet
[08:09] <magicsrv> moza: I suppose mount/dev/D: /media/D won't work, but I'll try it
[08:09] <Omoikane> is there a way to encrypt my hard drive and all communications from my computer?
[08:09] <markupdude> shiraj: humm it does not say 10/100 anywhere on the box too... i think i will just trash it heh he
[08:09] <shiraj> magicsrv: is your windows partition ntfs?
[08:10] <moza> no, you have to define to which name under the /dev directory corresponds your D:
[08:10] <can> slart: do you have flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound installed?
[08:10] <magicsrv> shiraj: yes, and I have ubuntu installed ON it inside windows
[08:10] <shiraj> magicsrv: you need to do mount -t ntfs-3g what where
[08:10] <Slart> can: nope, I use the flash 10 beta from adobe labs
[08:11] <shiraj> if windows is the first partition it should be /dev/sda1 i think
[08:11] <WIGGMPk> Can anyone please help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/111158/ I am trying to upgrade to the new kernel in Intrepid Ibex (amd64)
[08:11] <magicsrv> moza: I can't access it how can I mount it when I don't have access to it? shiraj and what would be "what" when I don't have any access to the partition under ubuntu?
[08:11] <shiraj> not too sure bout that
[08:11] <can> slart: what version is that? do you have a link for it?
[08:11] <Slart> can: hey hey hey.. it just started working now.. not sure what I did though.. hmmm
[08:12] <Slart> can: sure.. hang on
[08:12] <pkundu> if I change my timezone in a system do I need to restart the syslogd
[08:12] <Slart> can: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[08:12] <moza> magicsrv, under /dev are all the partitions that you detect, but that you may not be able to use or see, since they are not mounted. but if you are sure that none of the devices listed in /dev/ is your D: then the problem is different
[08:13] <can> slart: don't see the 32 bit version
[08:13] <magicsrv> moza: let me check that out and will tell yu
[08:13] <magicsrv> *you
[08:13] <Slart> can: oh.. my bad.. I run 64 bit
[08:13] <Slart> can: I think you can just get it by using any of the "get flash" links
[08:13] <moza> (you may want to try to mount all the devices listed under a directory you create for the occasion, like /media/try/
[08:14] <can> slart: that's  where i got the version i have installed right now.
[08:15] <Slart> can: then you probably have the newest version already
[08:15] <magicsrv> moza: don't see it anywhere...
[08:16] <moza> did you try to mount what you have to see if the partition isn't hidden behind an unclear name?
[08:17] <shiraj> magicsrv: its says that it automatically moutns the windows partition under /host and /media
[08:17] <shiraj> check there
[08:17] <nightrid3r> i have a headless box running gnome that i want to use from my laptop, i must be able to logon, what software will i need on client and server side
[08:17] <Ace_NoOne> hi there - when updating the kernel, I chose the wrong option (kept my custom menu.lst) - where can I get the proper menu.lst from now?
[08:17] <magicsrv> shiraj: nothing there. It just mounts the first part of the hdd - the first windows partition - C:... the partition ubuntu is installed on is not mounted...
[08:17] <Slart> nightrid3r: ssh is one way.. or vnc.. or freenx
[08:18] <Joe-C> hey all
[08:18] <Joe-C> I need some advice
[08:18] <nightrid3r> Slart: ok i'll try
[08:18] <magicsrv> shiraj: I thing I found it, thanks for the help. U2 moza
[08:18] <shiraj> where was it
[08:18] <Slart> nightrid3r: you might be able to do something cool with X too.. but I'm not familiar enough with it to give you any good advice about it
[08:18] <Joe-C> I have 2 HDD and already have Vista installed on 1 and I want to install Ubuntu on the other
[08:18] <Joe-C> and dual boot
[08:19] <Firefishe> I notice in looking over ubuntu's directory structure, that the traditional /usr/src/linux symbolic link isn't in /usr/src at all.  All I see are header files for the various kernels I'm running or have upgrade from.  Why is this/
[08:19] <Firefishe> ?
[08:19] <hossam> setfacl: operation not supported, can anyone help?
[08:19] <Joe-C> 1. is it possible, 2. what are the risks of stuffing up my vista install
[08:19] <shiraj> would anyone in here be able to help me with a problem in my hosts file?
[08:19] <moza> Joe-C, 1) yes it is possible, 2) if your partitions are already made, i would say the risks are minimum
[08:19] <neosimago> Joe-C: yes, it's possible and the risk is wiping the MBR on the vista install.
[08:20] <Joe-C> MBR?
[08:20] <neosimago> Master Boot Record, the part that tells it to boot vista.
[08:20] <moza> shiraj, i'm not sure i can help but what is your exact problem?
[08:20] <Joe-C> ok
[08:21] <neosimago> it would be best to point your BIOS to the ubuntu disk.
[08:21] <Joe-C> neosimago: how can I minimize this risk
[08:21] <can> anyone have a successful Intrepid install with HDMI out ?
[08:21] <neosimago> then have GRUB point multiple boot points, including vista.
[08:21] <shiraj> well im setting up samba and just to make it look nicer im assigning hostnames to all the computers on my lan
[08:22] <shiraj> the first one works fine i added <IP_ADDRESS> and gave it a name
[08:22] <moza> neosimago, isn't that the default behavior when using a classical installation with a disk?
[08:22] <shiraj> and that one i can connect to by just putting the name, not the ip
[08:22] <moza> ok
[08:22] <shiraj> but the other computer on <IP_ADDRESS> wont do that
[08:22] <Joe-C> is GRUB installed with ubuntu or is it a seperate app
[08:22] <shiraj> that one is a windows xp though
[08:22] <Joe-C> sorry for my newb'ness
[08:23] <shiraj> i can connect to it if i specify the ip but not if i put the hostname i gave it
[08:23] <moza> Joe-C, it was installed by default for me
[08:23] <Slart> Joe-C: it's installed by the ubuntu installer.. but I guess it's really optional.. you can use lilo or something else if you really want
[08:23] <neosimago> i don't rely on any classical behaviors with computers. -- i just make sure my BIOS points to the disk, and remember where it is in /dev/
[08:23] <quentin> I have a question, Im downloading KDE, i'm a gnome user. if i don't like kde how do i swtich back to gnome and delete kde
[08:24] <neosimago> grub is installed after you select the partitions to install ubuntu.
[08:24] <Joe-C> slart: I will use whatever is easiest and won't kill my vista install
[08:24] <neosimago> however, it would be wise to select the same disk, is the point mentioned here.
[08:24] <bazhang> !puregnome | quentin
[08:24] <moza> shiraj : i don't know how to help, sorry
[08:24] <cbilljones> quentin, you can pick session type from login menu
[08:24] <shiraj> moza hah its ok
[08:24] <quentin> ok =) thanks
[08:24] <shiraj> moza its just bugging me a lot nothing serious though
[08:25] <neosimago> for example, if ubuntu is on sdb2, have grub point to sdb as an install point.
[08:26] <moza> what's bugging me is my proxy...
[08:27] <neosimago> proxies bug me too.
[08:27] <quibbler> !who | neosimago
[08:27] <Firefishe> bbl
[08:28] <moza> i took some time to install it, but now, i need to remove it. i tried the gui way. but i always need to do
[08:28] <neosimago> ubottu: as such?
[08:28] <moza> export http_proxy=""
[08:28] <nightrid3r> !nx
[08:28] <moza> to get rid of my proxy whenever i need it, but it won't get away for other shells...
[08:29] <moza> has anybody any idea about getting rid of a proxy?
[08:32] <codeyman> Slart: badblock also didn't work :(
[08:32] <codeyman> any other ideas?
[08:33] <neosimago> moza: export http_proxy="" <== place this in your global bash rc script. == along with ftp_proxy, rsync_proxy, x_proxy.
[08:33] <Slart> codeyman: hm.. nope.. unless you find a more specific error message.. I think you've covered all the usual stuff
[08:34] <moza> neosimago, ok, i'll do that. what would be the classical global bash rc script?
[08:35] <neosimago> moza: i believe the global bash.rc script in ubuntu is /etc/bash.bashrc
[08:35] <codeyman> Slart: I dont see any specific error message in dmesg either.. anyway I can manually delete any lock key or some file causing it to reevaluate?
[08:36] <Slart> codeyman: there might be.. but I wouldn't really know where to look
[08:37] <moza> neosimago, thanks a lot, i'll try this (though i find it a little dirty, but if it finally works... )
[08:37] <codeyman> oh ok.. i'look further.. i have already waste 2 days.. maybe should just reinstall
[08:37] <neosimago> linux == as long as it works...
[08:39] <yankeetank> hola
[08:39] <breta> Hi, is here any pure-ftpd user/
[08:39] <breta> ?
[08:40] <quentin> hey, could you give me those commands for removing KDE again, and then i need help installing the lastest version of kde
[08:41] <neosimago> breta: what do you want to do with pure-ftpd?
[08:42] <breta> neosimago: I'm wondering how can add more files in /dev directory for client - I need add /dev/null
[08:43] <quentin> how do i remove KDE completely
[08:44] <neosimago> breta: i thought /dev/null was included as part of a default set of devices in linux.
[08:44] <quibbler> !puregnome
[08:44] <neosimago> breta: is there a need for more /dev/null devices? -- symlink.
[08:45] <adubz> what is the best PCI wireless card that contains an atheros chipset
[08:45] <pt1> i am trying to install an old version of Wine 0.9.15 but Ubuntu is giving an error about a missing dependency for libldap >=2.1  yet i have libldap-2.3. how can i force it?
[08:46] <lighty> nice one ---> http://dusitbuncharesort.com
[08:47] <quentin> how do i install the newest kde
[08:48] <breta> neosimago: symlink? I've read pure-ftpd man, but I haven't found such a parameter
[08:48] <bazhang> lighty, dont paste that here
[08:48] <bazhang> quentin, in the topic of #kubuntu
[08:48] <lighty> sorry bazhang wrong tab :(
[08:48] <neosimago> quentin: check out http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ for a list of sources for your latest KDE setup/
[08:49] <breta> neosimage: I know what the symlink in general is, but I don't know how to do it in the pure-ftpd
[08:49] <bazhang> http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 quentin
[08:50] <d0netsFN> hey i just installed ubuntu on this kids toshiba
[08:50] <neosimago> breta: it would help me if I had a better idea about what you are trying to accomplish... imho.
[08:50] <d0netsFN> and neither his wired nor his wifi works
[08:50] <d0netsFN> is there somehwere i have to go to turn it on?
[08:51] <albuntu> d0netsFN: Go to System - Administration - Hardware Drivers and check the propietary drivers.
[08:51] <shiraj> how will he do that
[08:51] <shiraj> if theres no internet to download the drivers
[08:51] <albuntu> shiraj: i am not saying to download them. just to check if he needs them
[08:52] <quentin> Open office got removed when i removed kde, whats the command line for installing Open office 3.0

[08:58] <guntbert> b0c1: no, I wanted to remind you to keep swear words and so out of this channel, kösönöm
[08:58] <OnlyWhisky> Hello! I get segfault running any GL related application on 8.10 with 180.11 nvidia driver.
[08:58] <b0c1> guntbert: but I think you know what I say... ubuntu php-soap package contain the pear soap implementation
[08:59] <albuntu> d0netsFN: go to System - Preferences - Network Connections and try to configure the wired or wireless connection manually
[08:59] <guntbert> b0c1: never mind :), I don't know about those packages :(
[08:59] <albuntu> !hu | guntbert
[08:59] <b0c1> wow :)
[09:00] <b0c1> but my problem is not language specific :)
[09:00] <guntbert> albuntu: :)
[09:00] <albuntu> :P
[09:01] <d0netsFN> im getting nada
[09:01] <d0netsFN> strange
[09:02] <OnlyWhisky> I was said on nvidia chanal to ask about nvidia kernel module problems here.
[09:02] <loller> Steff i`m not sure my problem is from other kind i`m looking to correct the problem witch i have with ettercap compiler and i`m trying to remove from manually installed one
[09:02] <KungfuJoe> Hey, does anyone know of some software that copies a DVD completely (Menus and all)?
[09:02] <albuntu> d0netsFN: configure a connection manually by adding the Ip's and dns. cant get a connection even in that way ?
[09:02] <OnlyWhisky> What is nvidia kernel module problem?
[09:02] <KungfuJoe> I'd like to backup my dvds with their menus...
[09:03] <abhishek_> ping : l'm using 7.04 Feisty Fawn
[09:03] <abhishek_> its not showing options to upgrade to 8.10
[09:03] <abhishek_> any known issues ??
[09:03] <Steff> loller, Ah, okay.. well... the syntax --purge should remove the program completely and the .conf files...
[09:03] <KungfuJoe> Hey, does anyone know of some software that copies a DVD completely (Menus and all)?
[09:04] <Steff> loller, in my project about man in the middle attack i also have to work with ettercap, in which scenario do you use it?
[09:04] <albuntu> KungfuJoe: try sudo apt-get install k9copy. i heard that is good. i havent tried it
[09:04] <abhishek_> the update tab in Software Sources does not have upgrade option
[09:04] <neosimago> KungfuJoe: download the source of K3B and compile it to with libcss and all the gimics to do DVD copying to your joy in an apt package.
[09:05] <KungfuJoe> neosimago: K3B...is that the name of the app?
[09:05] <neosimago> KungfuJoe: the main issue is that ubuntu is limiting it's distributions to not include these things because of legal issues.
[09:06] <neosimago> KungfuJoe: yes, however, if you install it using the regular apt-get, you won't be able to do what you're looking to do.
[09:06] <KungfuJoe> Well, on the record, I'd just like to backup my DVDs with their menus in tact
[09:06] <bazhang> k9copy KungfuJoe
[09:06] <KungfuJoe> bazhang: it doesn't look like k9 keeps the menus
[09:06] <loller> Steff i simple want to compile binary filter and drop some packages from test user from my subnet but the problem is that i can`t compile it i get TARGET (test.filter) contains invalid chars !
[09:06] <d0netsFN> yea that didnt work
[09:06] <neosimago> try first k9copy KungfuJoe, and if you want the glam of funtionality, compile your own K3b like I do .
[09:06] <arooni-mobile> whats the right syntax for a get request i can send via telnet:  get http://www.ebay.com http/1.0   ;; doesnt seem to be working! :9
[09:07] <loller> Steff and i`m pretty this is not syntax error `cause it will show me on witch line is the error
[09:07] <KungfuJoe> Ok, thank you everybody
[09:07] <jaapvisser> Hi i just did a security update with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic  I got a few warnings like : DKMS tree must be manually fixed anybody know how to fix this?
[09:07] <KungfuJoe> catch you later
[09:07] <Steff> loller, okay, i think you're right, so you wanna delete ettercap and reinstall it?
[09:09] <loller> Steff yes i suppose this will help but i have very weak knowledges in packages of linux and when i enter locate ettercap it shows me bunches of directories with name "ettercap"
[09:09] <jaapvisser> /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms is there but var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8-4/source/dkms.conf is missing....
[09:10] <KaptenRodSkagg> anyone know a good editor there you can open up a few textfiles at startup?
[09:11] <loller> Steff so i just don`t know i find a source file written in c http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/privat/ettercap-NG-0.7.3.tar.gz:a/ettercap-NG-0.7.3/utils/etterlog/el_target.c
[09:11] <Steff> loller, yeah, i just did the same, there is a lot of crap.. :S
[09:11] <loller> Steff line 53 is suppose to be the error "53       FATAL_ERROR("TARGET contains invalid chars !");"
[09:12] <Steff> loller, try "locate *.mp3 | grep <a word from the song>" or in your case locate *.c | grep <a line in the code>
[09:13] <Steff> loller, im sorry, but i cant help you with the c code, but it sounds like you have a string or varibel wrong defined...
[09:14] <Steff> loller, but have you tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge ettercap" and search for files again...
[09:14] <MinusSeven> i know C
[09:14] <loller> Steff i think best solution in my case will new installed ettercap
[09:14] <MinusSeven> if you need something
[09:14] <gogl> hi, what is the best (fastest) method for getting ubuntu install of multiple systems?
[09:15] <bazhang> gogl, /msg ubottu automate
[09:16] <tarimari> hi guys
[09:16] <tarimari> i want to setup hosts so that *.loc go to localhost. is it possible?  then from apache2 configuration, i ll direct to different website-folder
[09:16] <jaapvisser> related to my problem sudo dkms install -m fglrx -v 8-4 -k 2.6.27-9-generic is not there
[09:16] <Myrtti> tarimari: IIRC, you can already use *.local
[09:16] <Myrtti> tarimari: no, hold on.
[09:16] <tarimari> Myrtti: how i can do this setup?
[09:17] <Myrtti> tarimari: what's wrong with http://localhost/ ?
[09:17] <tarimari> Myrtti: i want to have multiple installations - domains.  like domain1.loc domain2.loc
[09:17] <Myrtti> right
[09:17] <tarimari> what right?
[09:17] <tarimari> :)
[09:18] <Myrtti> tarimari: I assume it would in that case work like domain.localhost
[09:18] <tarimari> how can i do that?
[09:18] <Myrtti> tarimari: but, I'm not really that knowledgeable with apache2
[09:18] <tarimari> i dont ask about apache, i know about it. i m asking about linux networking. /etc/hosts etc? i dont know what exactly
[09:19] <Peddyt> How would I make a command run every 10 seconds?
[09:20] <Chousuke> while true; do command; sleep 10; done;
[09:20] <albuntu> Peddyt: cronjob may help you. i cant help you configuring that but crons will do that. maybe try : man cron in a terminal
[09:20] <jaapvisser> tamari put this in /etc/hosts : 192.168.1.xx domain1.loc domain1
[09:21] <jaapvisser> ip should match your local ip: see: sudo ifconfig
[09:21] <Chousuke> Peddyt: you can have any number of commands between do and done, just separate them with either newlines or ;
[09:21] <Peddyt> albuntu, isn't there a simple bash solution? Someone gave it to me once, but I lost it :P. Something to do with executing, then sleeping, then looping back to the start.
[09:22] <moza> Peddyt, Chousuke gave you this solution :)
[09:22] <Peddyt> Chousuke, the ideal solution would be to just loop, rather than just executing something in a linear way.
[09:22] <Chousuke> Peddyt: that loops.
[09:22] <albuntu> Peddyt: look at Chousuke
[09:22] <albuntu> he told you that
[09:22] <moza> Peddyt, while is a loop
[09:23] <dayo> Peddyt: u've pretty much described the inner workings on crontab
[09:23] <Peddyt> Chousuke, I don't know how do and done works, so after 'done' would it just do 'do <command>' again?
[09:23] <alonewolf-m> why my traceroute tool can't work, after install cheops ??
[09:23] <Chousuke> Peddyt: "while" causes it to jump back to the "do" part and it'll restart execution there.
[09:24] <alonewolf-m> every site route just show ** ** **
[09:24] <moza> Peddyt, you have to just replace "do command" with the command you want to execute
[09:24] <Chousuke> moza: just the command part, though.
[09:24] <Chousuke> the do is necessary
[09:24] <moza> Chousuke, true, i forgot that ... sorry
[09:25] <b1> yahoo.com
[09:25] <Chousuke> for example, you could: while true; do echo "yay"; echo "more yay"; sleep 10; done
[09:25] <mib> hi
[09:25] <dayo> hi
[09:25] <mib> anyone knows what happen when i try to transfer a file from one drive to another
[09:25] <mib> and it gives me the error
[09:25] <mib> Operation not suported
[09:26] <Peddyt> Thanks Chousuke, moza.
[09:26] <mib> i have umount and mounted using ntfs-3g
[09:26] <mib> pls advise
[09:26] <Chousuke> mib: IIRC ntfs-3g can refuse operations if it thinks they're unsafe.
[09:26] <dayo> mib: how are u transfering?
[09:26] <mib> im trying to do a simple cp or mv
[09:26] <mib> even a simple touch
[09:27] <mib> doesnt allow
[09:27] <Chousuke> mib: are you sure it's mounted with ntfs-3g?
[09:27] <dayo> mib: from where to where?
[09:27] <mib> im using an xternal hard disk drive
[09:27] <Chousuke> mib: it might be the old ntfs driver instead.
[09:28] <dayo> mib: where are u executing from?
[09:28] <mib> inside the fs
[09:28] <mib> im actually trying to compile a C program inside
[09:28] <mib> it has output
[09:28] <dayo> mib: what is the fs type and the ext hdd fs type?
[09:28] <mib> but it cant write out
[09:28] <mib> how can i check dayo
[09:29] <dayo> mib: u're trying to output to the ext hdd?
[09:29] <mib> yeah
[09:29] <mib> im trying to output to a file
[09:29] <moza> a quick question : how do i see the env variables?
[09:29] <mib> ./a.out> out
[09:29] <dayo> mib: type: mount
[09:29] <dayo> mib: in your terminal
[09:29] <mib> ya
[09:29] <mib> /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/ntfs type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[09:30] <mib> which is the one i mounted earlier on
[09:30] <isaak> dude i think im gonna puke after a day of fuzzing with ubuntu
[09:30] <isaak> and still not having my scanner problem fixed
[09:31] <TakeABow> Hey, could someone help me with getting GD2 support please?
[09:31] <dayo> so u're trying to copy from ubuntu (ext3) to an external ntfs filesystem
[09:31] <isaak> is there  anyone out there who knows how to make my scanner printer work?
[09:31] <mib> nope.
[09:31] <moza> (found it myself... just the "env" command)
[09:31] <mib> dayo , im trying to copy the output to an external file within the fs
[09:31] <isaak> this is why ubuntu cannot compare to windwos yet
[09:32] <isaak> i guess its not meant for artists
[09:32] <dayo> mib: ok, u're copying from within ubuntu to another spot within ubuntu?
[09:32] <dayo> isaak: scanners are plug n play in ubuntu
[09:33] <dayo> isaak: Start XSane Image Scanner
[09:33] <mib> ya
[09:33] <tomoyuki28jp> How can I change a default kernel to boot?
[09:34] <dayo> mib: i don't get how the external comes into play, though. what are the directories u're copying from/to? did u check the permissions?
[09:34] <mib> yea.i checked..all rwx
[09:34] <greenfuji> hello all. I have been learning how to configure an ftp on ubuntu server. Finally got connected via gftp on my ubuntu laptop. I cannot seem to find out why my hdd is not showing up under media on the server. Any clues?
[09:34] <Ethos> hi guys, im trying to run apt-get install snmpd mrtg apache2 to install and get mrtg up and running
[09:34] <mib> the reason i have external is because my current ubuntu is lack of space
[09:34] <Ethos> it says snmpd isn't a package tho?!
[09:35] <mib> so i plug my xhdd and chuck all the files there
[09:35] <mib> and trying to run from there
[09:35] <dayo> mib: paste the exact command u're using
[09:35] <greenfuji> ethos: have you looked in synaptic to see if it exists in the list. If not check if you require to add a repository to have it appear
[09:35] <mib> i just did ..touch foo in the fs
[09:35] <mib> touch: cannot touch `foo': Operation not supported
[09:37] <dayo> mib: u're executing touch on the external ntfs?
[09:37] <mib> yeah
[09:37] <mib> since i cant even do a > to a new file
[09:40] <dayo> mib: hang on
[09:41] <vigo> Do I need to remove Evolution mail if I prefer to use Thunderbird?
[09:41] <Ranakah> vigo no
[09:41] <Ranakah> :)
[09:41] <dayo> vigo: no
[09:41] <vigo> Thank you
[09:41] <lllama> Hello all. Anyone know the best way to work out why my cron job isn't firing? (I'm on JeOS btw).

[09:49] <prahal_> hi is rsync on gvfs mounts fixed in latest gvfs/gio/fuse ?
[09:50] <prahal_> I find it weird is it so difficult to find this piece of information . The problem is old
[09:50] <vigo> Is there a cache manager, like a dns flush? Or is that another terminal thing I need to learn?
[09:51] <prahal_> vigo, as far as I recall if you have not installed a dedicated software (nscd or such) there is no such thing as a dns cache enabled by default on linux
[09:51] <vigo> Thank you
[09:52] <dayo> mib: u still there?
[09:52] <Gauntlet> Hey guys. How would I go about setting up my wireless network in ubuntu? How do I install the drivers for the network card etc.
[09:53] <vigo> I am still re-learning , I thank you kindly for the help, have a wonderful moment.
[09:54] <Gauntlet> !drivers
[09:55] <kavitha> anyone know abt audio streaming?
[09:55] <Steff> Gauntlet, Hmm, most of the NIC works out of the box, but try System -> Administration - Hardware Drivers
[09:56] <nbuntu> hey anyone active
[09:56] <gordonjcp> nope, no-one at all
[09:56] <kavitha> gandhii
[09:56] <nbuntu> a recent update has resulted me booting into low graphics mode
[09:56] <Steff> Gauntlet, If your wireless card works you can click on the screens at the right upper corner at enable wireless and the see the lists of wifis...
[09:56] <Gauntlet> Steff, well lets pretend the drivers are installed for it and I should just be able to enter the details of the wifi network but it never connects to it
[09:56] <nbuntu> i renabled the hardware drivers but no good
[09:56] <ortsvorsteher> !details | nbuntu
[09:57] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | nbuntu
[09:57] <Steff> Gauntlet, Hmm. what does your ifconfig say?
[09:58] <nbuntu> ubuntu ver 8.10, updated last night, xorg.conf is now blank, tried adding my widescreen resolution - but doesnt work
[09:58] <Gauntlet> Steff unforunately I am running it on the same pc as this so I would have to restart and see
[09:58] <EugenA> i have a problem, on our ubuntu-server time is always in the future (about 2 hours within some days)
[09:58] <EugenA> what can i du?
[09:58] <Steff> Gauntlet, okay,, try type this in terminal "lspci"
[09:58] <ortsvorsteher> EugenA: may you have to set the right timezone
[09:58] <Steff> and tell me, which NIC u have
[09:59] <kavitha> Eugena: Ajust the date and time
[09:59] <petski> EugenA: running the server on VMWare or simular?
[10:00] <EugenA> no, real hardware
[10:00] <kriyas> what is  use of  fc-cache command
[10:00] <EugenA> i setup ntp server, but i'm not sure it is working right
[10:00] <EugenA> if i make ntpdate europe.pool.ntp.org the time is set to current time
[10:00] <EugenA> but in some days i have again current time + some hours
[10:00] <kavitha> any problem using ntp? even i use ntp
[10:00] <kriyas> anyone please
[10:01] <EugenA> how do i make sure ntp is running?
[10:01] <petski> kriyas, I don't know. Try 'man fc-cache'
[10:01] <kriyas> ok petski
[10:02] <kriyas> it say no manual entry
[10:02] <EugenA> why there is no "status" option on /etc/init.d/ntp-server ????
[10:02] <petski> EugenA, it's very common that if your server is running "virtual" that you have timing issues.
[10:02] <petski> kriyas, http://www.xfree86.org/current/fc-cache.1.html
[10:02] <EugenA> petski: it is real hardware, not virtual
[10:03] <kavitha> after setting to ntp... restart network using /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:03] <EugenA> petski: should not ntp correct the time always???
[10:03] <EugenA> what is ntp then for??
[10:04] <petski> EugenA, you are right, but I always try to find the cause before looking for a solution :)
[10:05] <scapor> Does anyone here know if disabling firewire (blacklisting modules ohci1394 and ieee1394) can save power consumption ?
[10:05] <EugenA> petski: how do i check ntp is running and controlling time on the server? i set it up and restarted network. now what?
[10:05] <petski> EugenA, maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html can give you some clues
[10:05] <raheem> !ntp
[10:06] <petski> thanks raheen :)
[10:06] <Rencx> hello how i can edit file as root?
[10:07] <tonker^^> Hello

[10:07] <Bitfish> just out of curiousity, who developes paste.ubuntu.com?
[10:07] <raheem> or from desktop, ALT+F2, then, typ gksu gedit
[10:07] <oCean_> EugenA: sometimes the difference between the hardwareclock (in a machine) and the time that should be set according to ntpserver is too large. That *might* have something to do with what you get?
[10:08] <Rencx> raheem: i want edit in kino..
[10:08] <raheem> gksu kino
[10:08] <tonker^^> Can you please help? Is it possible to update to Ibex (I have the CD) from Heron without losing all my passwords and settings in Heron?

[10:12] <kavitha> NTP is used to query the time server which we have set and adjust the clock according to the time value recieved from server
[10:12] <raheem> Rencx: never used kino, but, i don't think it is a previledge issue

[10:52] <Skfarek> hi, where can i add modprobe dm-mod in init.d to have LVM during startup?
[10:52] <bazhang> tbd, #ubuntu+1 for that
[10:52] <tbd> thx
[10:52] <tbd> thx, bazhang
[10:52] <erUSUL> Skfarek: on root file system ?
[10:52] <tbd> already there ;)
[10:53] <Skfarek> erUSUL: yeah, i have / in LVM (/boot outside) and it freezes during startup in the half
[10:53] <Skfarek> i haven't used LVM during installation process, also i turned off a lot init.d in rc and now i can't find where it should but turn on
[10:54] <erUSUL> Skfarek: for that you need to include it on the initrd... i though that this kind of set up worked out of the box...
[10:54] <Skfarek> erUSUL: initrd?
[10:54] <erUSUL> Skfarek: may you just need (after installing lvm tools and such) to sudo update-initramfs ??
[10:55] <erUSUL> maybe*
[10:55] <Skfarek> i can try
[10:55] <Skfarek> hmm
[10:55] <Skfarek> maybe i should turn on udev in init.d ;)
[10:56] <erUSUL> Skfarek: if that fails add the module to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and update again
[10:57] <erUSUL> Skfarek: init.d is on the LVM if you can not mount it no matter what you tweak there it will have no effect :P
[10:57] <Skfarek> right
[10:57] <Skfarek> ;d
[10:57] <LeL> hey all

[11:09] <DamienCassou> hi
[11:09] <sekyourbox> The "page" command is used to change how linux uses the page file?  Hard to lookup page in google...
[11:09] <Slart> balrog__: as I said.. I can't help you configure the mta.. ask the channel
[11:10] <DamienCassou> I can't type an î (circumflex i) on intrepid. Can somebody help me?
[11:10] <sekyourbox> press up i
[11:10] <Shock> DamienCassou: you just typed it :)
[11:10] <DamienCassou> Shock: it's not on the same computer :-)
[11:11] <sekyourbox> just pulled that outa my...
[11:11] <DamienCassou> sekyourbox: I tried pressing both up arrow and i at the same time without success
[11:11] <spring_morning> hi...my sound was working fine yesterday. i shut my computer down, turned it back on this morning...and now my sound doesnt work... the volume control says 'no volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found' i have user access to sounds...so it's not that... any ideas? it was fine yesterday
[11:11] <sekyourbox> I made it up, sorry...  It needs to be able to put music tracks under the video and to make text go on and off screen. (like the many blue youtube text thingies :d)
[11:16] <therootest> can someone help me with compiz fusion on Kubuntu?
[11:16] <Shock> DamienCassou: what keyboard layout do you have?
[11:16] <jarco> therootest, whats ur problem?
[11:16] <Shock> therootest: what do you need help with?
[11:16] <m_tadeu> hi all
[11:16] <puneeth> is anyone using flock around here (webbrowser)
[11:16] <m_tadeu> is there an application that can log from 2 serial ports for the same file?

[11:17] <puneeth> flash unavailable in flock
[11:18] <puneeth> how can i install?
[11:18] <DamienCassou> Shock: ok
[11:18] <mchelen> puneeth, ok, have you installed flash?

[11:19] <mchelen> puneeth, does it work okay in firefox?
[11:20] <erUSUL> ned: lsof -i :portnumber
[11:20] <therootest> jarco: there is no such thing in there as session manager. is there any command prompt for this?
[11:20] <puneeth> mchelen; yes, perfectly fine in firefox
[11:20] <jarco> ccsm
[11:20] <jarco> ohw
[11:20] <jarco> sorry :d
[11:20] <jarco> mm perhaps just sessions... Mine is in dutch :p
[11:20] <DamienCassou> Shock: I use USA International (AltGr dead keys), but I tried several others. I also tried to change the keyboard model to 'macbook/macbook pro (intl)' but I get an error. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/322686
[11:21] <ned> erUSUL, thanks :)
[11:21] <puneeth> !flock web browser
[11:21] <nbuntu> any graphics gurus that can help me troubleshoot my problems?
[11:21] <therootest> jarco: no... theres nothing session-thing in there.
[11:21] <jarco> therootest, u are on the advanced tab right?
[11:21] <thrash> does ubuntu have a ssh deamon installed and running?
[11:22] <spring_morning> ok...so i did 'aplay -l' and it doesnt recognize my sound card.... 'lspci -v' in fact does recognize it, but says access restricted..my sound isn't working...i  went to system>admin/users and groups, and i have it set to allow myself audio.... any ideas?
[11:22]  * nbuntu stares blankly at his low-graphics ubuntu setup
[11:22] <therootest> jarco: there is no advanced tab in my k-menu
[11:22] <Ethos> thanks Steff  :))
[11:22] <Steff> Ethos, no problem ;)
[11:22] <jarco> therootest, go to System settings first ( the control panel thing)
[11:22] <nbuntu> maybe someone can link me to guide how to fix graphics problems
[11:23] <therootest> jarco: ok, i did :)
[11:23] <erUSUL> thrash: you have to install it
[11:23] <jarco> therootest, u found it now ?
[11:23] <Hikeractive> puneeth, are you lacking flash in flock? if so, you'll have to link the plugin from firefox to flock.
[11:23] <erUSUL> !sshd | thrash
[11:24] <therootest> jarco: no. it seems there is no session manager.
[11:24] <jarco> therootest, u are on the advanced tab right?
[11:24] <jarco> :p
[11:24] <puneeth> Hikeractive; please tell me how to do that
[11:24] <CatJelly> I have a Dell Vostro 200 (Slim) and wanted to install ubuntu 8.10 on it, it gets to the first install screen, I select 'Install Ubuntu' and then goes black, any ideas?  I think it hates the ATI 2400 in there, its the one with a single output, any ideas?
[11:24] <sekyourbox> Does anyone know if pager is installed by default in ubuntu... And should it be a running process?
[11:25] <mchelen> puneeth, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* /opt/flock/plugins
[11:25] <jarco> therootest, it can have another name like it. ( i am using a dutch version here)
[11:25] <therootest> jarco: ehm... duh! well now i am in advanced tab.
[11:25] <spring_morning> ok...so i did 'aplay -l' and it doesnt recognize my sound card.... 'lspci -v' in fact does recognize it, but says access restricted..my sound isn't working...i  went to system>admin/users and groups, and i have it set to allow myself audio.... any ideas? it worked fine yesterday...im not sure whats going on
[11:25] <therootest> jarco: i found it :) it has all the running programms.
[11:25] <jarco> :D
[11:25] <jarco> therootest, down at the bottem u will find windows manager select compiz
[11:25] <jarco> window*
[11:25] <puneeth> mchelen; i got a error which reads "[sudo] password for puneeth:
[11:25] <puneeth> ln: target `/opt/flock/plugins' is not a directory
[11:25] <puneeth> "
[11:26] <mchelen> puneeth, can you tell what the flock plugin path is?
[11:26] <therootest> jarco: no such thing down at the botton :(
[11:27] <jarco> therootest, that means ur in the wrong windows, Wait  i look it up in english :p
[11:27] <spring_morning> brb
[11:27] <Hikeractive> ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/* /opt/flock./plugins/ should work if it's in opt
[11:27] <puneeth> all i know is, i installed flock using a .deb file
[11:27] <Shock> DamienCassou: sorry, i tried everything i could think of but it didn't work
[11:28] <DamienCassou> Shock: could you please confirm on the bug report then?
[11:28] <Hikeractive> puneeth, from the command line, whereis flock
[11:29] <Hikeractive> puneeth, can you tell where it's installed?
[11:29] <puneeth> mchelen; path is flock: /usr/bin/flock /usr/share/flock /usr/share/man/man1/flock.1.gz
[11:29] <jim_p> !kde
[11:29] <jim_p> !kubuntu
[11:29] <Hikeractive> puneeth, where did you get the deb?
[11:31] <jarco> anyone know the kubuntu equivalent for alacarte?
[11:31] <jarco> therootest, sorry still looking for it :p
[11:31] <therootest> jarco: ty very much.
[11:31] <puneeth> Hikeractive; got it from www.getdeb.net
[11:31] <Pirate_Hunter> what is so interesting about flock i just did a search on it but the features seem the sam
[11:32] <fxcp> anyone here familiar with xvesa? how to disable ctrl+alt+backspace (something comparable to DontVTSwitch) in x.org?
[11:32] <Hikeractive> puneeth, do you have a /usr/lib/flock/?
[11:32] <J-_> Does the Intel Dual Core E2140 CPU and Intel Accelorator 950 work well with Ubuntu, at least for a desktop, and/or server?
[11:32] <mchelen> puneeth, look for a lib or plugins subdirectory
[11:32] <sekyourbox> fxcp, keyboard shortcut settings
[11:33] <Hikeractive> puneeth, if it's there, this will be easy
[11:33] <Pirate_Hunter> nvm just went to the site integration with myspace blah blah blah and that is what wins ppl over lol
[11:33] <puneeth> the directory doesnt exist!
[11:33] <puneeth> Hikeractive; it doesnt exist
[11:34] <Hikeractive> puneeth, give me a sec please.
[11:34] <Shock> DamienCassou:
[11:34] <fxcp> sekyourbox: which keyboard shortcut settings?
[11:34] <tapwag> J-_: I have an Atom based PC and afaik it has the intel gma 950. Works very well
[11:34] <Shock> DamienCassou: hey, i got it to work
[11:34] <DamienCassou> Shock: I'm listening
[11:35] <Shock> DamienCassou: run "setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us -variant altgr-intl" in a terminal
[11:35] <puneeth> Hikeractive; ok
[11:35] <Shock> DamienCassou: then press AltGr-6, release, press "i"
[11:35] <Shock> DamienCassou: îîîî ;)
[11:36] <sekyourbox> fxcp, this is running in terminal, right?
[11:36] <Shock> DamienCassou: let me know if it works for you also
[11:36] <sekyourbox> fxcp, edit>> keyboard shortcuts...
[11:36] <DamienCassou> Shock: it works, thank you :-). It is a bit different than what I had in hardy
[11:37] <therootest> jarco: the problem may be that i have ubuntu 8.0.4 and not 8.10?
[11:37] <spring_morning> ok..i checked my user permissions...everything is checked.. aplay -l doesnt recognize my sound card... BUT lspci -i does...it says 'access restricted' under it..why would it say that?
[11:37] <Shock> DamienCassou: glad I could help
[11:37] <jarco> idd
[11:37] <jarco> therootest, i just found that out :d
[11:37] <erUSUL> spring_morning: maybe you disabled it on Bios set up ??
[11:37] <DamienCassou> Shock: should I add that to a session script?
[11:37] <therootest> jarco: lol
[11:37] <erUSUL> spring_morning: i mean is onboard audio ?
[11:38] <therootest> jarco: is there such thing as cube in 8.0.4?
[11:38] <sekyourbox> ubuntu 8.04 support and i7 based box?
[11:38] <jarco> therootest, anyhow u will need to find that and then select compiz over your current
[11:38] <Hikeractive> puneeth, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/* /usr/share/flock/plugins/
[11:38] <fxcp> sekyourbox: you mean xvesa? xvesa is the lightweight x.org. didnt even find any config files for it.
[11:38] <Shock> DamienCassou: no, i just made you run that command to make sure the proper layout was selected :)
[11:38] <jarco> and yes therootest i have seen it on 8.04
[11:38] <spring_morning> erUSUL:  it's a soundblaster...so i dont think its onboard (sorry im new to this all)
[11:38] <Shock> DamienCassou: in case you had something else selected and didn't realise it
[11:38] <jarco> damn kde 3.5:p
[11:38] <therootest> jarco: isnt there an command to select compiz over the current?
[11:39] <Shock> DamienCassou: for all intents and purposes it should work out of the box if you have selected the proper layout in the gnome interface
[11:39] <jarco> therootest, i would not know that sorry
[11:39] <Hikeractive> puneeth, make sure to restart flock
[11:39] <WinterWeaver> Is there a browser cache on a linux server, and how can I clear it?
[11:39] <Shock> DamienCassou: as long as you press the right key combo
[11:39] <erUSUL> spring_morning: then my theory does not apply ...
[11:39] <J-_> tapwag: Nice. That's good to hear. I think once I get a new hard drive(current one is failing vista says) I'm going to turn the dual core machine into a LAMP server. Once that is accomplished I'm going to also create some local repositories. Not sure if the Intel Dual Core based server has WOL or not.
[11:39] <J-_> would be nice
[11:39] <DamienCassou> Shock: the key combo changed between hardy and intrepid it seems
[11:39] <therootest> jarco: thank you very much :)
[11:40] <spring_morning> hmmmmm
[11:40] <Shock> DamienCassou: might be the case
[11:40] <fxcp> sekyourbox: you mean xmodmap`
[11:40] <fxcp> ?
[11:40] <erUSUL> WinterWeaver: if you use a browser there is and is in ~/.mozilla/ of each user and you clear it from  firefox
[11:40] <therootest> does anyone know how to install compiz on ubuntu 8.0.4?
[11:40] <jarco> therootest, try this http://www.johs.nu/node/20
[11:40] <YankDownUnder> therootest, apt-get install compiz
[11:40] <sekyourbox> fxcp, sorry I dont know anything bout that
[11:41] <puneeth> Hikeractive; thanks its working
[11:41] <spring_morning> it is very strange. it's bugging me. i dont understand why aplay doesnt recognize it, lspci does but says access restricted, and im not getting any sound
[11:41] <therootest> YankDownUnder: i did. now, how i make it work over the current?
[11:41] <spring_morning> and it all worked fine yesterday...i havent installed anything new... its trippy
[11:41] <erUSUL> therootest: it comes installed by default; you anly have to enable it in System>Preferences>Appearance|Effects Tab
[11:41] <YankDownUnder> therootest, ALT-F2 => compiz --replace
[11:41] <Hikeractive> puneeth, you're welcome :)
[11:41] <WinterWeaver> erUSUL just found out from the person I'm helping, its a server hosting a site... they uploaded a new site, and it's not updating.
[11:42] <erUSUL> WinterWeaver: so you refering to apache the server... i'm not really versed about apache... have they tried to restart apache ?
[11:42] <therootest> YankDownUnder: the prompt says that compiz --replace couldnt be executed.
[11:42] <spring_morning> anyone else? im sure it's something very simple that I'm missing here
[11:42] <therootest> erUSUL: there is no such menu in kubuntu 8.0.4?
[11:43] <YankDownUnder> therootest, Then it's not properly installed...
[11:43] <WinterWeaver> erUSUL that's what I'm trying to get him to do now...
[11:43] <erUSUL> therootest: well i'm talking about plain ubuntu ask in #kubuntu
[11:43] <therootest> thanks, guys! :)
[11:43] <DamienCassou> Shock: thank you very much for you help
[11:44] <Shock> DamienCassou: you're most welcome
[11:44] <balrog__> is there an easy way to replace a config file in /etc with the default one?
[11:44] <bonhoffer> is there a way to limit ls -lt to, say, 10 responses
[11:45] <jarco> what is good vidio editing software on kubuntu/ubuntu? It needs to be able to put music tracks under the video and to make text go on and off screen. (like the many blue youtube text thingies :d)
[11:46] <spring_morning> ok..i checked my user permissions...everything is checked.. aplay -l doesnt recognize my sound card... BUT lspci -i does...it says 'access restricted' under it..why would it say that?
[11:47] <greenfuji> can you use gftp to move files rather then copy them?
[11:47] <spring_morning> excuse me, *lspci -v
[11:47] <spring_morning> 'access denied' ? im not sure why it says that or how to edit it
[11:47] <mchelen> greenfuji, probably in the options somewhere
[11:49] <yango1> hi there fresh meat here need help setting up suspend mode on my msi laptop
[11:49] <JamesA_> !sudo | spring_morning
[11:49] <greenfuji> mchelen: I would have thought so but cannot find anything. Could be down to unusual naming but no option looks like it changes copy to move. Is gftp one of the better ftp programs or is there something else?
[11:50] <henkpoley> Joy, updated my MythTV system, now it does't load audio drivers for my MCP51 based motherboard
[11:50] <mchelen> greenfuji, gftp is pretty good, it should be in there, you can try kftpgrabber or filezilla, also the command line ftp has move option
[11:51] <oCean_> bonhoffer: there are lots of options to adjust the output. For example, pipe your ls command throug less, tail or head  ("ls -alt | less" or "ls -alt | tail -10")
[11:52] <filmore> I have two versions of a library on my system. One in /usr/lib and another in /usr/local/lib   another library is improperly linked to the /usr/lib version. I want it linked to the /usr/local/lib version... is there a way to force that?
[11:52] <perlmonkey> hi guys, slightly off-topic but need some help
[11:53] <perlmonkey> I have a disk (Maxtor 160GB root) throwing up disk errors regularly.. before I bin as a faulty drive I wanted to make sure my setup is not causing it.. I have 2 SATA drives in the system, both are showing as masters on channels 1 and 2 respectively.. the other is 320GB.. 1) does it matter they are both showing as master..  2) does it matter which channel they are on?
[11:54] <perlmonkey> incidently, the 320GB is mounted as /home
[11:55] <jarco> what is good vidio editing software on kubuntu/ubuntu? It needs to be able to put music tracks under the video and to make text go on and off screen. (like the many blue youtube text thingies :d)
[11:55] <mchelen> greenfuji, well, im not able to find it in gftp or kftpgrabber so far, its also called delete after copy
[11:55] <filmore> perlmonkey: you could boot from a livecd with only one hard drive plugged in at a time. That would eliminate the "is two masters making it crazy" question.
[11:56] <filmore> perlmonkey: and test the sanity of the harddrives that way
[11:56] <mchelen> perlmonkey, that sounds fine, you could pull the good drive, put the suspect drive in its place, and check if its still causing errors
[11:57] <mchelen> the causes are 1) hard drive 2) controller card / channel 3) bad cable 4) bad / dying power supply
[11:57] <perlmonkey> phew
[11:57] <perlmonkey> so it could be a number of factors
[11:57] <perlmonkey> or any one of them
[11:57] <perlmonkey> the motherboard and PSU are brand new I built the system myself
[11:58] <mchelen> jarco, try kino, jahshaka, or just search the applications add/remove for video editor
[11:58] <jarco> ok mchelen
[11:58] <berenge> bbb
[11:58] <mchelen> perlmonkey, there is always a chance, depends on exact errors
[11:58] <perlmonkey> the Maxtor hard drive was ex-stock and came with 3 months warranty only, but was new and unused
[11:58] <perlmonkey> I can give you an example of some errors
[11:58] <greenfuji> mchelen: at least you confirmed Im not nuts in not seeing the option in gftp. Looks like it is copy accross then delete manually. either that or comand line
[11:59] <mchelen> perlmonkey, you can check system monitors for power supply voltage, cpu temp, that kind of thing
[12:00] <mchelen> greenfuji, you could use a normal file copy operation with the curlftpfs fuse module
[12:00] <mchelen> greenfuji, or just mount the ftp in nautilus
[12:01] <perlmonkey> actually i can't, heh typical it hasn't done it today yet..hardly a day goes by it doesn't throw up errors and at least once a week it completely locks up and often does not boot again until after many attempts
[12:01] <mchelen> perlmonkey, look for any specific info about errors, and check all system monitors for something unusual
[12:01] <mchelen> is that your system hd?
[12:01] <perlmonkey> it seems to be a read access error at sector level and fsck always has to carry out massive repairs to filesystem
[12:01] <tarelerulz> I broke Vista so I am install it again and I have Ubuntu on it too .  How do I fix grub/install it again so I can go back to dual booting.  Ubuntu sets up grub so nice for all that .
[12:01] <perlmonkey> yes
[12:02] <easyfit> hey, I'd like to add a script for mounting some drives over sshfs automatically whenever the network comes up, and unmount when it goes down, could someone tell me where I should put these scripts?
[12:02] <mchelen> perlmonkey, id do a fresh install on the known good disk, and then perform tests on the suspect one
[12:02] <perlmonkey> good idea
[12:03] <perlmonkey> looks like I will have to be buy those new replacement drives I had planned to buy then anyway, as I have too much data on the 2nd drive
[12:03] <Ethos> hi guys
[12:03] <mchelen> !dualboot
[12:03] <perlmonkey> oh well at least i will know what the state of the suspect drive and if its ok i can offload it on ebay
[12:03] <Ethos> I think i've setup mrtg properly but I can't see anything on the index properly
[12:03] <mchelen> !dualboot | tarelerulz
[12:04] <Ethos> it shows now graphs and the links to the device html file isn't there
[12:04] <Ethos> any ideas?
[12:06] <uni4dfx> is there any way to manually install the latest nvidia drivers AND keep the restricted-modules ?
[12:07] <tarelerulz> mchelen,  I have Ubuntu setting just like I want it .  Is there just way to have the install cd rewrite/install grub and not  whip the drive.
[12:08] <mchelen> tarelerulz, sure, just reinstall grub
[12:08] <howtoo> hello, I've got an Intel 82566DM-2 NIC, which has got a wrong MAC address after a BIOS update. it uses the 1000e driver. Somebody know if it's possible to rewrite the EEPROM with ethtool on such cards?
[12:09] <Boohbah> howtoo: ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:20
[12:10] <mchelen> tarelerulz, check out the section on restoring grub, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&redirect=WindowsDualBootHowTo#Recovering%20GRUB%20after%20reinstalling%20Windows
[12:10] <mariooliveira> hello i need to backup a 8gb dvd movie into 2 disks of 4gb. is there any  program i can use for it?
[12:10] <mchelen> mariooliveira, do you want the disks to play on dvd players?
[12:10] <mariooliveira> yes
[12:11] <greenfuji> mchelen: thank you. mounted the drives through samba and using file browser
[12:11] <howtoo> ifconfig does not write to EEPROM as far as I know
[12:11] <tarelerulz> mchelen,  thanks a lot .  That is just what I am looking for .  It is people like you are what make Linux great.  people help people
[12:12] <mariooliveira> mchelen,  8gb dvd are expensive  lol
[12:12] <mchelen> mariooliveira, it might be easier to compress it a little for 1 disc
[12:12] <mariooliveira> 5 or 10  4gb dvd cost the same as 1 8gb
[12:13] <mariooliveira> mchelen,  does it plays on normal dvd players?
[12:13] <mchelen> greenfuji, cool, nautilus can use ftp for gui, and if you want to use another standalone program, then the ftp fuse mount will work
[12:14] <mariooliveira> mchelen,  or  how can i cut a dvd movie in half?
[12:14] <greenfuji> mchelen: how can i test the security of my samba server and ftp server?
[12:15] <balrog__> is there a way i can get thunderbird to display one inbox for multiple accounts?
[12:15] <mchelen> tarelerulz, sure well you know someone has always run into that problem before, and it helps me to learn more too ;)
[12:15] <mchelen> mariooliveira, thats my understanding, one is http://k9copy.sourceforge.net/ there might be others
[12:16] <mariooliveira> mchelen,  thanks
[12:16] <mchelen> mariooliveira, there might be some program with a split option, it sounds like that is more trouble than its worth though
[12:16] <mchelen> greenfuji, security from what?
[12:18] <greenfuji> mchelen: the server is connected to the internet via a gateway for its updates, and there is an ubuntu laptop and windows htpc that have access to files on it. I want to be sure no unwanted wireless users can join in or users over the net.
[12:18] <mchelen> balrog__, maybe if they are pop: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox
[12:19] <mchelen> greenfuji, you have to secure your wireless with encryption
[12:19] <balrog__> mchelen: is it possible if they are imap?
[12:21] <mchelen> balrog__, the closest thing might be http://kb.mozillazine.org/Saved_Search
[12:21] <Viper111> wat is the best firewall u think is better so I can manage websites which to open which not and make clients in groups which to open which, and if we can use time limits
[12:22] <tavi> hy
[12:22] <tavi> vlc is on hardy proposed category ?
[12:22] <tavi> or on hardy backports?
[12:22] <mchelen> greenfuji, the gateway & firewall are most important for internet security, are you exposing the ftp or samba servers to outside traffic?
[12:22] <ezerhoden> yesterday i had a kernel upgrade to 2.6.27-11-generic and today i see it is downloading the same linux-image. why is this?
[12:22] <mchelen> tavi, which version of vlc?
[12:23] <tavi> i have 086e
[12:23] <tavi> and doesnt upgrade at all to the latest version
[12:23] <tavi> so i think if hardy proposed and hardy backports isn't cheked do not work .....
[12:23] <Viper111> wat is the best firewall u think is better so I can manage websites which to open which not and make clients in groups which to open which, and if we can use time limits
[12:24] <tavi> ?
[12:24] <tavi> anyone?
[12:24] <therootest> i'm getting this message on startup: http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshootcp8.png
[12:24] <therootest> can someone help me with it?
[12:25] <mchelen> tavi, if you want version 0.9, you can upgrade to intrepid, or use a .deb or ppa
[12:25] <tavi> forget itreprind
[12:26] <tavi> i want to upgrade the vlc cause crashes wen i wanna see something
[12:26] <mchelen> why not upgrade the distro
[12:26] <perlmonkey> does disk cache have any real significant impact on disk performance? like 8mb v 16mb?
[12:26] <aprilhare> gksudo better
[12:27] <mchelen> perlmonkey, yes, although it depends on usage
[12:27] <tavi> cause take time and i do not want
[12:27] <filmore> perlmonkey: depends on what you're doing. I don't think you'll see much of a difference in 8 vs 16 though
[12:27] <mchelen> rpm and seek time are also important
[12:27] <Dr_willis> perlmonkey,  from the reviews/benchmarks ive seen.. it depends.. and for most cases..  once ya get above a set point. it dont matter much
[12:28] <mchelen> yeah its not the most important thing
[12:28] <tavi> well for me is
[12:28] <ZeroA4> tavi, but it is not normal for vlc to crash... the 0.8 version did work well, maybe you can fix it removing and reinstalling the same version
[12:28] <mchelen> tavi, well it saves you time with vlc, because getting 0.9+ working in 8.04 is a hassle
[12:28] <mchelen> yeah thats true too
[12:28] <filmore> perlmonkey: unless this is for a professional server... then I'd dig deeper to see which one's best for the application
[12:29] <tavi> great....
[12:29] <mchelen> try deleting ~/.vlc
[12:29] <tavi> maibe try uninstall from synaptic
[12:29] <mchelen> or reinstall it, thats easy
[12:30] <henkpoley> Yay, apparently my fiddling with the restricted modules package lead to un-updated general modules, "update manager" fetched those anew, sound works again :-)
[12:30] <Ranakah> my box freezing    when i use compiz effect.. anybody know why? i use radeon 1950 AGP, Athlon XP barton, and ubuntu untrepid
[12:31] <n0gear> .
[12:32] <henkpoley> Ranakah: You better ask in AMD/ATI forums / channel
[12:32] <n0gear> how do i get rid of these join/system messages
[12:32] <n0gear> in irssi
[12:33] <Dr_willis> n0gear,  i would suggest a read of the IRSSI docs/Faq/homepage.. it covers that exact question .:)  you use the /ignore command some how
[12:33] <Ranakah> henkpoley i think is something wrong with a compiz or ubuntu updates.. cause compiz work since oktober 2008.. and then i get some updates and box freezes if i use compiz
[12:33] <Dr_willis> n0gear,  and i always get  it backwards when i try to use it.

[12:36] <arthurmaciel> hi there. how can I install skype for ubuntu?
[12:36] <Vonoff> hi, i got a nice theme for gnome and it also includes the usplash thingy. is there a config tool for the splash screen in ubuntu? (when booting the box or shutting it down)
[12:36] <Dr_willis> !skype | arthurmaciel
[12:38] <eeddii> Does anybody know where the information about the login screens is stored? After installing a new login screen it stucks before it appears...
[12:38] <arthurmaciel> Dr_willis: thanks. do you use another software for this that works pretty well with skype on the other end?
[12:39] <Dr_willis> arthurmaciel,   I just use skype. Im not sure there are any alternative clients to it
[12:39] <Fushuing> which package is used for the 'mail' command?
[12:40] <razorx> i have a problem, someone up for it?
[12:43] <Mulvane_> Can anyone see what is wrong with this config  http://tinyurl.com/bqflr  ??
[12:44] <binarymutant> yah its spam
[12:44] <gordonjcp> Mulvane_: that's a bit impolite

[12:45] <remoteCTR1> Slart: thanx man:)
[12:46] <remoteCTR1> can i somehow apt-get install on specific package, ie. update-motd from intrepid?
[12:46] <Slart> remoteCTR1: you're welcome
[12:46] <gordonjcp> remoteCTR1: you mean install a specific package from another version of Ubuntu?
[12:47] <Slart> remoteCTR1: that depends on what dependencies that particular package has.. you can force install it but it probably won't work.. the dependencies aren't just there to annoy you (at least I don't think they are)
[12:48] <remoteCTR1> gordonjcp: aye, guess i need apt-pinning for that?
[12:48] <therootest> how can i upgrade from kubuntu 8.0.4 to 8.10?
[12:48] <arthurmaciel> I'm trying to update to ubuntu 8.10, but my /boot partition has only 50mb and it needs at least 65mb. How can I do it?
[12:48] <Slart> !upgrade | therootest
[12:48] <remoteCTR1> Slart: i dont think it has many dependencies... mut maybe i should just dl the package from packages.ubuntu.com and have a try...
[12:48] <gordonjcp> remoteCTR1: yah

[12:49] <arthurmaciel> can I resize flawlessly another partition to create free space?

[12:51] <doctorow> I have a laptop running Intrepid. I want to connect it to an external VGA display, but I want the internal display to be dark, and for only the external display to run (e.g., I neither want it to be mirrored nor two-headed). Is there a way to do this?
[12:52] <Slart> doctorow: there should be.. I can do it on my laptop..
[12:52] <CatJelly> I have a Dell Vostro 200 (Slim) and wanted to install ubuntu 8.10 on it, it gets to the first install screen, I select 'Install Ubuntu' and then goes black, any ideas?  I think it hates the ATI 2400 in there, its the one with a single output, any ideas?
[12:52] <Slart> doctorow: I think I use some kind of screen resolution setup tool to do it
[12:53] <Slart> doctorow: I still have hardy on my laptop though..
[12:53] <arthurmaciel> remoteCTR1: for booting gparted.
[12:53] <remoteCTR1> Slart:  ok i installed it with dpkg -i (i'm on ssh on one of our servers) and no errors so far, so i guess it worked (dependencies n stuff) right?
[12:53] <doctorow> Slart, under System->Preferences->Screen Resolution, I can mirror the displays or span them, but not deactivate one of them.
[12:53] <remoteCTR1> arthurmaciel: umm gparted is basically nothing that you boot
[12:53] <remoteCTR1> you do that while linux is running
[12:53] <henkpoley> CatJelly: At the "first bootscreen" try the F1-F8(?) keys to see what cheatcodes there are, try plain VGA mode
[12:54] <Slart> remoteCTR1: yup, that's a reasonable assumption
[12:54] <doctorow> OK, I'm going to try hupping X11 -- thanks!
[12:54] <Slart> doctorow: can't you set the external one to primary?
[12:54] <CatJelly> henkpoley: thanks for that I'll try it
[12:54] <remoteCTR1> Slart: hehe thanks, can btw recommen the package, tells you system load and number of logged in users when connecting via ssh
[12:55] <Laeborg> http://pastebin.com/m2778d7d4 - everytime i use apt-get my system starts to setup virtualbox, how can i stop it from doing that?
[12:55] <phaidros> how can I trigger the rebuild of nvidia modules? after kernel upgrade they are just gone (intrepid)
[12:55] <Slart> remoteCTR1: noted... in case I ever get more than one user on my server =)
[12:55] <Slart> Laeborg: removing the virtualbox package might do it
[12:55] <Laeborg> how to ?
[12:56] <remoteCTR1> Slart: hehe well we have two servers for mathematical calculation purposes, really makes sense there:)
[12:56] <Slart> remoteCTR1: why not setup something like cactii.. you'll get shiny graphs and a nice webpage.. impresses phb's =)
[12:57] <spring_morning> hey...me again..i purged and reinstalled my sound driver...i still have no sound and the volume control still says no volume control gstreamer plugins and or devices found.....aplay -l still says no sound card... lspci -v still recognizes it...what am i missing??
[12:57] <sajuuk> hey guys how would I be able to find what BIOS and its details I have using linux stuff?  Or should I get all my details from the BIOS screen?
[12:57] <remoteCTR1> Slart: i have read about that one, but i considered to be much too substantial...?
[12:58] <shams> hi, how do i can know. which usb tv tuner works on linux?
[12:58] <Slart> remoteCTR1: well.. you'll need a webserver.. and snmp.. but if you really want to you can put the webserver on another machine and just gather the data
[12:58] <arthurmaciel> remoteCTR1: thanks. I must be confusing stuff. I'm already installing it. Anyway It seems the 50mb of my actual boot partition will be lost, right?
[12:59] <remoteCTR1> arthurmaciel: nope, of course not!
[12:59] <arthurmaciel> remoteCTR1: ok. thanks
[12:59] <xyz> nick
[12:59] <remoteCTR1> Slart: well webserver we have, thats not a problem, but as far as i recall that was quite an effort to set up
[13:00] <arthurmaciel> remoteCTR1: ok, sorry. asking before reading is not a polite thing. I agree.
[13:00] <remoteCTR1> Slart: installed it once at home to have a look at it, like a year ago but i guess i squeezed that outa my memory as it bothered me...:D
[13:00] <Techman83> I'm looking for a bit of information regarding the way Ubuntu 8.10 handles Xorg now, In previous versions getting Dual Screen setup as 2 X Sessions, it was as simple as commenting out Xinerama, now with no config, even setting it to false gives me no joy
[13:01] <remoteCTR1> arthurmaciel: ya, never mind, we are not that sever over here:)

[13:02] <harlemdavvey> guys how could i make my desktop panel transparent?
[13:02] <Slart> remoteCTR1: well.. it isn't click and run.. you'll have to do some configuring..but it was just a suggestion.. it's your computers and your time.. you decide what to do with it
[13:02] <Slart> balrog__: don't think you can
[13:02] <techsuperfreak> remoteCTR1: I use it to give me the same info you are looking for when logging in vis SSH

[13:03] <ezerhoden> yes

[13:03] <Dr_willis> Copyrighting stuff? or am i confused again? heh
[13:03] <spring_morning> i purged and reinstalled my sound driver...i still have no sound and the volume control still says no volume control gstreamer plugins and or devices found.....aplay -l still says no sound card... lspci -v still recognizes it...what am i missing?
[13:03] <prometheus77> hi, how to remove font "Courier 10 Pitch" on intrepid? Firefox uses it instead of "monospace" and it looks very unreadable and ugly? On which package is this Courier font?
[13:04] <harlemdavvey> what distro are you using? would you suggest me to use fedora instead of ubuntu?
[13:04] <Slart> prometheus77: why not tell firefox to use monospace instead of courier then? sounds easier
[13:04] <jrib> !ot | harlemdavvey
[13:05] <henkpoley> A lot of people are reporting NetworkManager <WARN> messages on shutdown, is that supposed to be normal ?
[13:05] <prometheus77> Slart: ive set up monospace in firefox but, it's not working, anyway this "Courier" font looks ugly everywhere so best for me is to remove package that contain it
[13:05] <Slart> prometheus77: I don't think it has a package of it's own.. if you can find the font file you could symlink it to monospace instead.
[13:06] <ezerhoden> so, has anyone else had the same thing happen? i had cheched uname and i was running the same kernel. this was the same revision.
[13:06] <^arky^> can anyone help fix the screening blanking on a G45 chipset
[13:07] <prometheus77> Slart: good idea, i will try , thanx
[13:07] <Slart> prometheus77: locate couri.ttf might give you a location

[13:08] <Fushuing> hello, I'm a british person
[13:08] <webterror> i missed complie in Ubunt
[13:08] <carpii> try /usr/share/fonts/truetype or something
[13:09] <Slart> prometheus77: sorry.. "locate -r cour.*\.ttf" would be better.. there are variants
[13:09] <ezerhoden> webterror: ever look into apt-build?
[13:09] <Slart> Fushuing: no worries.. we won't hold it against you

[13:09] <Fushuing> :P

[13:10] <Slart> Fushuing: oh.. better stay away from Seveas then =)
[13:10] <cannonball> When kernel updates install, it leaves the old packages hanging around.  Being around rpms long enough, I know that it's generally a bad thing to update the kernel as opposed to installing it, so I have no qualms about that.  But after a while, when I have 7 or 8 kernels hanging around, what's the best/most generally accepted way of getting rid of the older ones?  So far, I've just been doing 'sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic', for e
[13:10] <cannonball> xample.
[13:10] <cannonball> Is there a better way or method?
[13:10] <Slart> cannonball: that sounds ok to me.. it's what I do
[13:11] <Slart> cannonball: you could use --purge to get rid of config files too
[13:11] <voland> or you can manually delete them
[13:11] <ezerhoden> isn't there some apt-get --autoclean or something
[13:11] <Slart> voland: then I think you would still have kernel modules and stuff hanging around
[13:12] <raheem> ezerhoden: i guess that's to clear the downloaded packages, which no longer required
[13:12] <Seveas> ezerhoden, apt-get autoremove, but that is explicitely configured not to remove kernels
[13:12] <rainmanp7> Gdmorning
[13:12] <Slart> ezerhoden: apt-get autoremove will remove uneeded packages.. apt-get clean will delete downloaded packages
[13:12] <Slart> good morning rainmanp7

[13:13] <prometheus77> Slart: no ttf fonts like this, ive tried without ttf extension and there is some pcf fonts courXXX.pcf.gz. Are they used by firefox? Or firefox uses only ttf fonts?
[13:14] <Slart> prometheus77: hmm.. are you really sure firefox is using the courier font then?
[13:14] <Slart> prometheus77: it's not using some other replacement font?
[13:15] <Techman83> Unfortunately wiki.ubuntu.com/X doesn't really give me much detail about 8.10

[13:16] <Slart> bottiger: you can set it up to send you an email
[13:16] <remoteCTR1> techsuperfreak: yeah that was precisely what were talking about... unfortunately after installing the package it doesnt create the cron.d entries on itself...
[13:16] <Slart> bottiger: or beep.. or you can check the logs.. or have it send an sms.. there are lots of options
[13:16] <voland> Slart, geneus things are simple. I've removed old kernels and recived a half of Gig of free space :)

[13:19] <^arky^> anyone configured X4500HD screen  blanking issue
[13:19] <voland> Slart, the thing is I always remove unused kernels manually, but I've forgot modules :)
[13:19] <bottiger> Slart: thanks - I think I'kk can google the rest
[13:19] <Slart> bottiger: but there are a gazillion howto's on setting up raid volumes on linux.. I think those are better sources than I am

[13:25] <Techman83> jrib: most except the MultiHead section, no real references to Xinerama
[13:25] <jrib> Techman83: How are you trying to disable xinerama?
[13:25] <Pici> !ot | nenyalorien
[13:25] <nenyalorien> thanks ubottu. :D
[13:26] <LeL> im trying to create a script that installs gpm and edits rc.local, so the gpm package is being installed using sudo -S but when it gets to the line editing.. i get permission denied, any ideas?
[13:26] <jrib> LeL: show us the script on paste.ubuntu.com?
[13:26] <LeL> sure
[13:27] <Ced___> LeL: Im not using emerald or compiz, im on kubuntu >_>
[13:27] <Ced___> So... How does one fix KDE?
[13:27] <Techman83> jrib: before it was a case of commenting out the Xineram line, I have tried manually setting up the Xorg.conf and adding
[13:27] <Techman83> Option "Xinerama" "false" to the server layout
[13:27] <raheem> did try log out & log in ?
[13:27] <raheem> @ Ced___
[13:28] <jrib> Techman83: after adding that to the server layout, you restarted X and /var/log/Xorg.0.log still says it loaded xinerama?
[13:28] <Ced___> raheem: Restart, relogin, restart Xserver, etc, didnt work
[13:28] <Techman83> jrib: Correct, display was across both screen as opposed to 2 seperate
[13:29] <LeL> ced__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111209/
[13:29] <jrib> Techman83: erm, ServerFlags apparently is what you want to add it to?
[13:29] <Techman83> I have tried that too
[13:29] <raheem> i guess u have .kde (hidden directory) in the home directory .. delete it. log out, log in .. it will set ur kde settings to default
[13:29] <rainmanp7> When you downlaod a pulseaudio etc... what ever how does one go about putting all this stuff togeather to make it work ? or a website would be great thanx :)
[13:29] <Ced___> raheem: Thanks, will try.
[13:29] <jrib> Techman83: the log explicitly stated that xinerama was being loaded?
[13:29] <LeL> there' should be another a "." in there >> /etc/init.d/rc.local
[13:29] <LeL> ignore the lack of .
[13:29] <Techman83> I'll just have a read of the log
[13:30] <LeL> i didn't copy and paste, i rewrote it
[13:30] <Techman83> as I also had tried Option "Xinerama" "1" and  Option "Xinerama" "0"
[13:30] <jrib> LeL: use « echo FOO| sudo tee -a FILE » instead of « sudo echo FOO >> FILE »
[13:30] <Techman83> jrib: under server flags
[13:32] <LeL> ok thanks mate, trying it out
[13:32] <Techman83> jrib: (II) Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA
[13:33] <YankDownUnder> Anyone know what I need to do to automagically have me /boot/grub/menu.lst updated with my new kernel and all the UUID's and params and the likes? Script perchance?
[13:33] <Ced___> FFFFFFFF, Ok, raheem, it worked, for exactly 3.14 seconds. Now they disapeared again ._., what am i doing wrong?
[13:33] <jrib> Techman83: yeah same thing here, but it recognizes the option in the log too
[13:33] <Slart> prometheus77: ok.. try going to this site http://www.hisbest.se/courier.html
[13:33] <ortsvorsteher> YankDownUnder: everytime you change kernel by update, menu.list will be updated
[13:34] <YankDownUnder> ortsvorsteher, Er...was spose to I reckon - chose the wrong option after the update mate
[13:34] <Slart> prometheus77: the first paragraph is regular text, the second paragraph is an image of that same text.. do they look the same?
[13:35] <Techman83> jrib: i'll just give it a shot and see what the log says, should be Option "Xinerama" "0" to disable?
[13:35] <prometheus77> Slart: no, text is smaller on image, i will try to adjust this
[13:35] <jrib> Techman83: yeah, that's what it /should/ be afaict, but it seems to still load here.  See what happens though
[13:36] <Slart> prometheus77: that might just be your dpi setting.. or some firefox setting
[13:36] <bobbob1016> I'm trying to get 5.1 from spdif, but I can only get stereo from "speaker-test -c 5".  Any ideas?
[13:36] <LeL> jrib: should the line be like this? echo "/etc/init.d/gpm start" |sudo tee -a /tmp/gg >> /etc/init.d/rc.local ?
[13:36] <jrib> LeL: no
[13:37] <LeL> how would you write it?
[13:37] <Techman83> jrib: Alrighty brb
[13:37] <jrib> LeL: get rid of "/tmp/gg >> "
[13:37] <spring_morning> hi.. i'm having problems with my sound card/ sound driver... it worked fine yesterday..but now ubuntu doesnt recognize the driver...i purged and reinstalled the driver, rebooted, but still no luck
[13:37] <ortsvorsteher> !sound | spring_morning
[13:37] <jpastore> is there a way to extend the time gpg-agent caches your key so it doesn't seem like I have to enter a password with every email that goes out?
[13:37] <LeL> thanks alot mate :)
[13:37] <ruben23> hi how to restart network on ubuntu
[13:38] <jrib> LeL: wait
[13:38] <JamesA_> !network | ruben23
[13:38] <YankDownUnder> ruben23, /etc/init.d/networking restart
[13:38] <LeL> im here mate
[13:38] <jrib> LeL: I just read your script.  What's the point of it?
[13:38] <LeL> just to install gpm and add it to rc.local in order to start the service on boot
[13:38] <LeL> the daemon*
[13:39] <JamesA_> !rc
[13:39] <jrib> LeL: you don't need to add it to rc.local.  gpm gets started automatically by default
[13:39] <spring_morning> ortsvorsteher: it's not recognizing the driver so I can't actually select anything...
[13:39] <JamesA_> !rc.local
[13:39] <LeL> ah really?
[13:39] <LeL> ok mate good to know
[13:39] <Slart> JamesA_: looking for that file? it's in /etc/rc.local
[13:40] <jrib> LeL: find /etc/rc*  -name '*gpm'

[13:40] <Ced___> Im using KDE 4.1
[13:40] <Slart> JamesA_: ah..I don't think it's ubuntu specific so there ought to be lots of info out there.. google didn't have anything good?
[13:40] <YankDownUnder> Ced___, Have you tried renaming the ~/.kde dir?
[13:40] <Techman83> jrib: I'll just have a read for the log, only got clone currently
[13:41] <LeL> 1 sec
[13:41] <JamesA_> That's my next step, Slart.
[13:41] <Ced___> yankdownunder: Yes, i tried removing it, so the config resetted, it worked for 3 secs, then the menu bars disapeared again
[13:42] <YankDownUnder> Ced___, Strange that - you might also want to blow out any temp crap in /tmp/ and /var/tmp relating to KDE matey
[13:42] <rainmanp7> Thank you

[13:46] <georgeaf> hey guys, i have a dialup connection and i turned off ubuntu's firewall, but still linphone and ekiga can't listen on 5060. I checked using web port scanners and a local nmap scan. No one can call me. Is there a solution ?

[13:48] <georgeaf> jrib: i said i have a dialup connection
[13:48] <spring_morning> i take that back. i also havent tried using Opensound instead of ALSA... anyone have luck with OSS? I've never tried it

[13:48] <EF_Codd> Help?
[13:48] <robin0800> s
[13:48] <jrib> georgeaf: ubuntu has no firewall enabled by default, what did you do to turn it off?

[13:51] <cannonball> spring_morning: you'll have more issues with OSS than you will with ALSA.
[13:51] <Ced___> yankdownunder: back, tried it, same result as before, it works for a couple secs, then the login completed sound is heard, then the bars disapear again. (repeated if you overlooked it..)
[13:51] <JamesA_> !virtualizer
[13:52] <spring_morning> cannonball: thanks. now just to figure out this alsa problem >_<
[13:52] <YankDownUnder> Ced___, Strange that mate - have you tried in #kubuntu yet?
[13:52] <cannonball> When I've had sound problems, it usually was because some sound daemon started up and was causing apps to try to use it instead of using ALSA (and the sound daemon wasn't working right).
[13:53]  * YankDownUnder had issues with sound - found it was actually the wrong vid card driver...
[13:53] <Ced___> yankdownunder: It seems that i have a firewall issue, if i try to join #kubuntu, it says net 470:  | [0] Ced___, [1] #kubuntu, [2] #ubuntu-proxy-users, [3] Forwarding to another channel
[13:53] <bz0b> hey guys i've been trying my hardest to figure this out all damn night is there anyone here with a wifi card using 43xx chipset?
[13:53] <cannonball> YankDownUnder: reminds me of old Windows 3.11 lockups that usually were a bad mouse driver.
[13:53] <YankDownUnder> Ced___, Weird mate...
[13:53] <EF_Codd> jrib you help? Change with "/dev/sdb1 /media/usb auto users,uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 0" on the USB sticky. Then to booty boot boot. bunty broked
[13:53] <YankDownUnder> cannonball, ERf...ditto with OS/2
[13:53] <spring_morning> the thing is, the sound was entirely fine yesterday. everything was fine...today., i started the computer up..no sound..my sound driver isnt even being recognized.... so i reinstalled the driver...and its still not being recognized
[13:54] <OsamaK> Hello, How can I download a package files [only] even if it's already installed. 'sudo apt-get install -d kubuntu-desktop' shows '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.' although I do have some files missed.
[13:54] <georgeaf> bz0b: yeah me
[13:54] <YankDownUnder> spring_morning, I'll assume you've just removed the driver completely and did a COLD boot?
[13:54] <bz0b> I tried following as much guides as I can but i can figure anything out I am trying to use the  b43 module over the wl module and it wont work
[13:54] <Ced___> yankdownunder: How can i reinstall KDE completely?
[13:54] <bz0b> georgeaf, what mod do u use for ur wifi card? wl or b43?
[13:54] <EF_Codd> jrib you help? Change with "/dev/sdb1 /media/usb auto users,uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 0" on the USB sticky. Then to booty boot boot. bunty broked
[13:54] <spring_morning> YankDownUnder: 'cold' boot? im not sure.... i purged and reinstalled the drivers and just rebooted, i didnt format or anything
[13:54] <YankDownUnder> Ced___, I'd not even go there until you exhaust all possibilities mate
[13:55] <georgeaf> bz0b: b43
[13:55] <bz0b> georgeaf, HOW???
[13:55] <Ced___> yankdownunder: i've been trying all morning now.
[13:55] <YankDownUnder> spring_morning, cold boot meaning turn the machine completely off after you've removed the driver - let the system find it again, know what I mean?
[13:55] <ari_stress> evening all :)
[13:55] <georgeaf> bz0b: i'll get you a page, one sec
[13:55] <bz0b> georgeaf, do u have a macbook as well? or what chipset exactly do u have
[13:55] <spring_morning> YankDownUnder: in the case...ill see you in 2 minutes
[13:55] <EF_Codd> YankDownUnder you help? Change with "/dev/sdb1 /media/usb auto users,uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 0" on the USB sticky. Then to booty boot boot. bunty broked
[13:55] <spring_morning> eh
[13:55] <YankDownUnder> Ced___, Well, it's night here, so that's relative to one's geographic location...however, you CAN also ask in #mandriva (cuz yes, they are KDE based...)
[13:56] <ruben23> hi how to find a file in ubuntu..?
[13:56] <ruben23> can i use locate command..?
[13:56] <bz0b> ruben23, slocate

[13:56] <EF_Codd> YankDownUnder bunty broke. Me edit fstab and add partitty then boot-boot. bunty fully brokened.

[13:56] <EF_Codd> YankDownUnder you full cobber?
[13:56] <ruben23> bz0b:slocate...?
[13:56] <Ced___> yankdownunder: I'll try, thanks mate
[13:56] <bz0b> georgeaf, i used b43-fwcutter
[13:57] <YankDownUnder> EF_Codd, Not sure what ya mean
[13:57] <bz0b> georgeaf, it downloaded some firmware and extracted it to my /lib/firmware that's correct right?
[13:57] <ruben23> i try locate filename got this error: locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory
