[03:28] <mindguru08> hey
[03:29] <ColdBeer> Flannel, is there a command that shows me all of the user account and their ownership?
[03:29] <Flannel> ColdBeer: their ownership?
[03:29] <smartguyz> pelo! smartguyz@magman:~$  sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[03:29] <smartguyz> Reading package lists... Done
[03:29] <smartguyz> Building dependency tree
[03:29] <smartguyz> Reading state information... Done
[03:29] <smartguyz> totem-xine is already the newest version.

[03:29] <ColdBeer> chwon
[03:29] <ColdBeer> user groups
[03:29] <J-Unit> is there pastebin but for images like .png for example?
[03:29] <tgelter> I have set up wake-on-lan to work if I send the magic packet to my desktop machine while connected to the LAN. The same desktop is in the DMZ, but if I send the packet to the ip that the router is on with the MAC of the desktop, it doesn't get through, any ideas?
[03:29] <Pelo> smartguyz, ok now try playing a dvd
[03:29] <Breakage> crdlb: yeah, I this is strange I also have the required engines installed. even though it would show up without them.
[03:29] <proteus> cropos: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/LG-External-DVD-Drive-GSA-E40L/sem/rpsm/oid/185288/catOid/-17223/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
[03:30] <mindguru08> smartguyz: hey
[03:30] <alex-weej> tgelter: what kind of packet?
[03:30] <pngl> nickrud: thanks
[03:30] <Killeroid> J-Unit: just upload to an image host
[03:30] <proteus> J-Unit: yeah, it's called imageshack.us
[03:30] <Flannel> ColdBeer: user groups are different than the files owned by a user.  Usergroups would be found (either by looking in the group file (cat /etc/group) or by 'group [username]' which is much more readable.
[03:30] <tgelter> alex-weej: the "magic" packet that's sent for wake on lan..I'm using the wakeonlan tool to send it
[03:31] <tgelter> alex-weej: I don't know more than that (whether it's tcp/udp, etc.)
[03:31] <smartguyz> pelo! Totem could not play 'dvd:/'. there is no plugin to handle this movie...
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> !dvd | smartguyz i told you this earlier
[03:31] <ubotu> smartguyz i told you this earlier: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[03:31] <alex-weej> the magic packet is just your MAC address repeated a few times, but it's encapsulated in some kind of IP payload which you obviously need to guarantee gets through your router DMZ
[03:32] <Odd-rationale> smartguyz: try this "sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh"
[03:32] <alex-weej> tgelter: wireshark shows nothing when the computer is on, right?
[03:32] <Odd-rationale> smartguyz: then try again
[03:32] <Pelo> smartguyz, sudo apt-get remove totem-gstreamer , if you haven'T done it already
[03:32] <tgelter> alex-weej: yeah, it's getting stopped at the router
[03:32] <smartguyz> pelo! ok thank you will do that again...
[03:32] <Pelo> smartguyz, then follow the instructions you will get from ubotu in a private windows
[03:32] <RoAkSoAx> !broadcom
[03:32] <ubotu> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[03:32] <crdlb> Breakage: I dunno then, make sure you have read permission and double-check that the gtkrc is in exactly the right place
[03:32] <Pelo> !dvd > smartguyz check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[03:32] <Odd-rationale> Pelo: apt will remove totem-gstreamer if you install totem-xine
[03:33] <tgelter> alex-weej: I assume that the router just doesn't know to forward it along or something
[03:33] <Odd-rationale> smartguyz: try this "sudo apt-get install totem-xine libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh"
[03:33] <Pelo> Odd-rationale, it should but I'm warry of it , after I ugraded to hardy I had both
[03:33] <Odd-rationale> Pelo: he's using hardy?
[03:33] <Pelo> Odd-rationale, nice line
[03:33] <Pelo> Odd-rationale,  no I was just covering my basis
[03:33] <Pelo> bases
[03:34] <Pelo> Odd-rationale,  I'm getting tired
[03:34] <alex-weej> tgelter: have you tried sending the magic packet directly to the system from inside your LAN?
[03:34] <Odd-rationale> Pelo: oh ok. you can do the rest. I need to go take a shower....
[03:34] <RAdams> Hi. I added a network share to my fstab, but now I can't boot if I'm not connected to the internet. Is there a way I can edit the boot line or something to ignore that fstab entry?
[03:34] <dmsuperman> anyone have a clue what kind of idea i can expect in the way of performance for games in an xp vm using virtualbot?
[03:34] <Pelo> Odd-rationale, that line pretty much covered it
[03:34] <tgelter> alex-weej: yeah, it works if I'm inside the LAN
[03:34] <Odd-rationale> Pelo: hopefully.
[03:34] <dmsuperman> i've got a pretty decent rig going, and if i give the vm a gig of ram will it be playable on some of the lighter games?
[03:34] <Breakage> crdlb: ok, this is strange i have read permission. just tryed putting another theme i backed up in the same place and it got picked up. i've also rechecked that the theme is in the correct place about 5+ times, and this theme also works for other people.
[03:35] <Odd-rationale> smartguyz: did it work?
[03:35] <RAdams> dmsuperman: virtualbox does not have an accellerated graphics driver that can handle games using directX
[03:35] <Pelo> dmsuperman, no way to tell depends on the game requirements and the resources allocated to vbox
[03:35] <alex-weej> tgelter: and that's just a unicast UDP/IP packet right?
[03:35] <dmsuperman> RAdams, are there any virtualization programs that can? or do i have to do a full dual boot to do it?
[03:35] <tgelter> alex-weej: wikipedia says: "The Magic Packet is a broadcast frame containing anywhere within its payload 6 bytes of ones FF FF FF FF FF FF followed by sixteen repetitions of the target computer's MAC address, possibly followed by a four or six byte password."
[03:36] <RAdams> dmsuperman: none can really do that. virtualization with full accelerated graphic support is a ways away yet
[03:36] <alex-weej> tgelter: yeah, so can you send UDP packets in from outside your LAN via the NAT into the DMZ and into your computer?
[03:36] <alex-weej> if not, your NAT DMZ isn't working properly
[03:36] <RAdams> I added a network share to my fstab, but now I can't boot if I'm not connected to the internet. Is there a way I can edit the boot line or something to ignore that fstab entry?
[03:37] <tgelter> alex-weej: I don't know...I have the computer in the DMZ set up as a webserver, and that doesn't have any problems, but that's TCP...
[03:37] <dmsuperman> RAdams, darn, spose i'll have to setup dual boot after all :(
[03:37] <alex-weej> RAdams: boot recovery mode?
[03:37] <alex-weej> tgelter: OK, try a TCP packet then
[03:37] <tenpaiyomi> Is there some way with which I can troubleshoot a postfix/mysql/courier setup I have?  I have verified that the mailboxes I have setup are getting mails, I just cannot log in remotely
[03:38] <Pelo> RAdams, I think you can add noauto to the line so it doesn't mount if it is not there
[03:38] <chalcedny> what's the command to show what version of ubuntu im running?
[03:38] <RAdams> alex-weej how do I do that?
[03:38] <Pelo> !release
[03:38] <ubotu> Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[03:38] <cafuego> RAdams: Add 'noauto' to the options column for that share in fstab
[03:38] <tgelter> alex-weej: wakeonlan only uses udp packets, I suppose I'll need a different app then
[03:38] <Pelo> that't not waht I had
[03:38] <RAdams> pelo: I'm aware of that, but i can't get to my fstab at all right now
[03:38] <Pelo> RAdams, boot the live cd
[03:39] <alex-weej> tgelter: hm that's a shame, maybe you could try and find out if UDP is actually working in your DMZ instead
[03:39] <chalcedny> Pelo: hi :)
[03:39] <cafuego> RAdams: Boot with 'init=/bin/bash', mount / as read-write, make the change, reboot
[03:39] <Pelo> hello chalcedny
[03:39] <RAdams> pelo: I don't have the live cd
[03:39] <Pelo> RAdams, recovery mode ?
[03:39] <RAdams> pelo: recover mode doesn't boot
[03:39] <Pelo> alternate cd ?
[03:39] <chalcedny> Pelo: i forgot how to tell what version of ubuntu i have?
[03:39] <tgelter> alex-weej: know of a quick way to test?
[03:39] <cafuego> RAdams: Boot with 'init=/bin/bash', mount / as read-write, make the change, reboot
[03:39] <alex-weej> odd
[03:39] <godfool> alex-weej: im a smart bot
[03:40] <wubrgamer> hey guys, how do I set azureus to stop seeding after it finishes downloading? I don't like to leech, but i'd like to be able to at times...(I DO seed at night, it's just that I like being able to do it only when I TELL it to seed)
[03:40] <pokerfacepenguin> Pelo: uname -a for kernel version
[03:40] <RAdams> cafuego: trying that now
[03:40] <chalcedny> pokerfacepenguin: ty
[03:40] <Pelo> chalcedny, you can check in menu >  system < adnim > system monitor  , on the first tab
[03:40] <cafuego> there is no try, it just works :-)
[03:40] <ltcabral> hey guys is there any C irc channel around here?
[03:40] <Pelo> pokerfacepenguin, we want the ubuntu release and it's uname -r for the kernel
[03:40] <alex-weej> tgelter: pondering that myself
[03:41] <chalcedny> ty Pelo :)
[03:41] <cafuego> ltcabral: Like say #c?
[03:41] <Starnestommy> ltcabral: ##C
[03:41] <Pelo> wubrgamer, ask in #azureus-support
[03:41] <tgelter> alex-weej: The magic packet is a UDP broadcast packet
[03:42] <ltcabral> whats the diff between #c and ##c lol
[03:42] <alex-weej> tgelter: ah, so not unicast
[03:42] <pokerfacepenguin> Pelo: you mean you want to know whether you have gnome or kde, or do you want to know gutsy or hardy?
[03:42] <Starnestommy> ltcabral: #c is a redirect to ##c
[03:42] <tgelter> alex-weej: and this document I just found continues: "Note that routers are usually configured to drop directed broadcast packets"
[03:42] <lordleemo> chalcedny: lsb_release -a
[03:42] <Pelo> pokerfacepenguin, gusty or hardy
[03:42] <ltcabral> ok thx
[03:42] <alex-weej> tgelter: yeah, so you can make it unicast instead right?
[03:42] <pokerfacepenguin> Pelo: cat your /etc/sources.list file, it will tell you
[03:42] <Pelo> pokerfacepenguin, it's not me that neeaded to know it was chalcedny , there is a release - something command but I nevder remember
[03:43] <alex-weej> tgelter: http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/mini-howto/wolpython.txt
[03:43] <Pelo> pokerfacepenguin, you can also see it listed in the system monitor applet
[03:43] <alex-weej> tgelter: try fudging that to send unicast to your router and maybe the NAT will route it to your PC
[03:43] <pokerfacepenguin> Pelo: i meant /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:43] <Pelo> pokerfacepenguin, I know
[03:43] <chalcedny> ty lordleemo :)
[03:43] <alex-weej> tgelter: it doesn't have to be broadcast, you see
[03:43] <tgelter> alex-weej: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,11826841
[03:44] <chalcedny> confirmed this is feisty
[03:44] <Pelo> lordleemo, had it
[03:44] <tgelter> alex-weej: that is my router that this guy mentions, so apparently it's possible w/ the multicast packet
[03:44] <alex-weej> tgelter: i think he's suggesting that the DMZ is your .255
[03:44] <ltcabral> i gota register something to speak in ##c?
[03:44] <alex-weej> tgelter: i don't think you really want that, but i guess it does the job
[03:44] <tgelter> alex-weej: but I don't know what he means "to make the private address a broadcast"
[03:45] <Pelo> !register > ltcabral check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[03:45] <alex-weej> tgelter: if your LAN is 192.168.0.*, there is a broadcast address at <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:45] <tgelter> alex-weej: oh, so he made *his* pc the *.*.*.255
[03:45] <alex-weej> no, on the DMZ setting
[03:46] <alex-weej> he chose a.b.c.255 instead of a.b.c.10 or whatever his computer is
[03:46] <speaker219> Hello. I have a question. i'm on an ubuntu 7.10 system, and the window borders are set up so the maximize/minimize/restore buttons are in the top left, instead of the top right. I don't rmemeber how i changed this, but i would like to restore it back to normal. does anyone know how to do this? thanks
[03:46] <Pelo> ok I'M out, g'night folks
[03:46] <alex-weej> tgelter: i think that's what he means anyway
[03:46] <tgelter> alex-weej: interesting...is there any reason why I would *not* want that to be the case for my machine?
[03:46] <alex-weej> tgelter: actually, i don't think he's even using DMZ...
[03:46] <alex-weej> tgelter: do you have this setting then?
[03:47] <tgelter> alex-weej: to what setting do you refer?

[03:48] <Kenshi> Hey guys, i was told that Hardy Heron would fix that firefox slowdown problem that happens when compiz is enabled.
[03:48] <tgelter> alex-weej: I'll look
[03:49] <speaker219> tgelter, I already looked there.
[03:49] <Kenshi> Well it doesn't. I've tried the open ATI driver, but the problem was just the same
[03:49] <tgelter> speaker219: look harder, it's really there where you'll change it
[03:49] <nickrud> Kenshi #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1
[03:49] <alex-weej> tgelter: it isn't
[03:49] <Kenshi> oh nice
[03:49] <alex-weej> speaker219, tgelter: gconf

[03:50] <kindofabuzz> how do i get the actual repo line i'd plug in to get something. basically i wanna put FF 3b5 on gutsy using hardy repos, possible?
[03:50] <alex-weej> kindofabuzz: PAIN
[03:50] <speaker219> thanks a LOT alex-weej
[03:50] <speaker219> I really appreciate it
[03:50] <alex-weej> speaker219: np

[03:51] <nickrud> kindofabuzz big pain. Look up apt-pinning if you really wanna go that route
[03:51] <kindofabuzz> oh is it?
[03:51] <Flannel> kindofabuzz: Or just wait a few weeks for Hardy to come out
[03:51] <alex-weej> prem_: i dont THIN SO
[03:51] <kindofabuzz> well i just want 3b5, alot of fixex since 3b4, and i wanna "install" it, not just run it from a folder
[03:52] <alex-weej> kindofabuzz: you have 3b4 on gutsy?
[03:52] <kindofabuzz> alex-weej, yeah
[03:52] <alex-weej> how?
[03:52] <tgelter> alex-weej: well, I'll take a look into it a bit more, thanks for the help
[03:52] <kindofabuzz> it's in the repos
[03:52] <alex-weej> and why not lather, rinse, repeat?
[03:52] <alex-weej> oh ok
[03:52] <alex-weej> kindofabuzz: in backports?
[03:52] <kindofabuzz> dunno
[03:52] <l0w> i love natalie
[03:52] <kindofabuzz> but there lol
[03:52] <RAdams> cafuego: I don't understand how to do what you suggested. I thought I did, but that didn't work. Can you explain how to boot with init=/bin/bash?
[03:52] <alex-weej> tgelter: no probs, good luck. WOL has always been a bit of a black art!
[03:52] <godfool> RAdams: im a smart bot
[03:53] <alex-weej> kindofabuzz: if it's there, rest assured 3b5 will be there soon
[03:53] <alex-weej> just wait
[03:53] <godfool> alex-weej: im a smart bot
[03:53] <kindofabuzz> i ned it now! =)
[03:53] <alex-weej> godfool: STFU
[03:53] <godfool> alex-weej: Is there something weird in the very idea that xhtml was a work of art and expensive possession.  The man said, "that you can add "contrib non-free" to that little twenty-dollar check good, and frankly I don't mirror in miniature the gap between the various places to test them all the music, aged in the sense of horror.

[03:53] <jordo2323> I have a 1GB USB Flash drive and am trying to copy a file to it. Ubuntu is telling me that it is out of space, but I see no files on it in Nautilus or in /media/disk. ANy ideas?
[03:53] <nickrud> RAdams who are you?
[03:53] <RAdams> someone with chops ban godfool
[03:54] <jordo2323> No hidden either
[03:54] <kindofabuzz> Kira will get him
[03:54] <godfool> RAdams: im a smart bot
[03:54] <RAdams> nickrud: ?
[03:54] <nickrud> RAdams wrong nick ;)
[03:54] <RAdams> nickrud thanks :)
[03:55] <cafuego> RAdams: You hit 'e' on the normal boot line in grub. Then remove 'quiet splash' and add 'init=/bin/bash'
[03:55] <RAdams> cafuego: thank you :)
[03:55] <cafuego> RAdams: That will boot right into a root shell (kinda like DOS). THEN...
[03:56] <mbent> hi i've actually got a question about using the sed command. I need to replace a whole lot of strings in multiple files in multiple directories. I've found sed 's/FINDSTRING/REPLACESTRING/g' but, The string that im trying to replace has the / character in it. How can I get around that?
[03:56] <cafuego> RAdams: You need to mount / read-write, so you can edit fstab. 'mount -n -o remount,rw /'. Now edit fstab, adding noauto. Remoutn as read-only, 'mount -n o rmount,ro /' and reboot (just hit the reset switch)
[03:56] <jordo2323_> I have a 1GB USB Flash drive and am trying to copy a file to it. Ubuntu is telling me that it is out of space, but I see no files on it in Nautilus or in /media/disk. ANy ideas?
[03:57] <kindofabuzz> will gutsy ever go to Gnome 2.22?
[03:57] <nickrud> jordo2323 ls -a /media/disk, check for hidden files
[03:57] <nickrud> kindofabuzz no
[03:57] <RAdams> cafuego: thanks
[03:57] <kindofabuzz> well that sux
[03:57] <jordo2323> nickrud: I already did....nothing
[03:57] <nickrud> kindofabuzz ubuntu is on the same release schedule as gnome, for a reason
[03:57] <kindofabuzz> yeah
[03:57] <jordo2323> nickrud: Can I format a USB disk in Ubuntu?
[03:58] <jthomas> Hello all!
[03:58] <jthomas> Hello all!
[03:58] <nickrud> jordo2323 yes, cfdisk will do it:   sudo cfdisk /dev/sd<whatever>
[03:58] <jthomas> I was just wondering what a good DE was for Ubuntu?
[03:58] <jthomas> I'm using Hardy from an ubuntu minimal install.
[03:58] <smartguyz> delo
[03:58] <jthomas> Should I just do ubuntu-desktop or what? I'm hoping for something different.
[03:58] <smartguyz> you there
[03:59] <jordo2323_> nickrud: No permission to write?
[03:59] <globe> is there a way to completely uninstall the graphic front end from xubuntu?
[03:59] <nickrud> jthomas fluxbox, icewm, xubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop ...
[03:59] <jthomas> nickrud, hopefully something small. 160kb/s connection. =(
[03:59] <kindofabuzz> glbesudo apt-get --purge remove xubuntu-desktop
[03:59] <nickrud> jordo2323   sudo cfdisk says no write ?
[03:59] <jordo2323_> nickrud: yeah
[03:59] <jordo2323_> nickrud: weird!
[03:59] <nickrud> jthomas fluxbox (and don't you ever call 160 small, I ran debian unstable over 3k ;)
[04:00] <MrKeuner> can I log vino connections(attempts)?
[04:00] <jthomas> nickrud, I used to have a 700kb/s connection. it IS slow.
[04:00] <Flannel> jthomas: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[04:00] <jthomas> Flannel, is that w/o all the ubuntu tweaks?
[04:00] <Flannel> jthomas: No, sorry.  I thought you were doing something else.
[04:00] <nickrud> jordo2323 why it would be not writeable from root I don't know offhand, but it would explain why you can't write.
[04:01] <Flannel> jthomas: Just install a DE.  If you have an alternate CD, you can install from the stuff on the disk.
[04:01] <jthomas> Flannel, I have a Gutsy cd. =P
[04:01] <naknomik> I have a Keyboard Layout indicator and also SCIM running, and both seem to have their own settings. I don't want SCIM, how do I disable it?
[04:01] <fidelio> hi
[04:01] <jthomas> I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy./
[04:01] <jthomas> Going to install CNR, so maybe I should just go ubuntu-desktop.
[04:01] <fidelio> any expert on CUPS installations?
[04:01] <nickrud> jthomas if you need more hardy help, #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1 .
[04:01] <Flannel> jthomas: Depending on where you live, you could try contacting your LoCo team and seeing if they can't help with some media.  And, you probably don't want CNR
[04:02] <jthomas> thanks all.
[04:02] <jordo2323_> nickrud: I had to go to a Windows box, format it and then bring it back :(
[04:02] <jthomas> Flannel, I DO want CNR.
[04:02] <jthomas> flannel, wait until the redesigned cnr.com is out. =)
[04:02] <jthomas> its beautiful. lol
[04:02] <naknomik> Even if I right click on SCIM in notification area and exit SCIM it starts right back.
[04:02] <jthomas> well, i guess im just going ubuntu-desktop, thanks all. its only a 400mb download.
[04:03] <nickrud> naknomik try looking in system->prefs->sessions, see if it's set to restart in the middle tab
[04:03] <jthomas> exit
[04:03] <jthomas> quit
[04:04] <fidelio> any guru on CUPS installation?
[04:04] <RAdams> cafuego: that caused the machine to reboot itself...
[04:04] <tenpaiyomi> Is there some way possible to find where in my user authentication for imap it's failing?  The user itself is found, it's just that the authentication is not working
[04:04] <cafuego> RAdams: what? booting with init=/bin/bash?
[04:05] <RAdams> cafuego: yes
[04:05] <naknomik> nickrud: nothing there.
[04:05] <cafuego> RAdams: that's not right. not right at all.
[04:05] <RAdams> cafuego: I changed "quiet" to "init=/bin/bash" and the machine just rebooted X__X
[04:05] <nickrud> naknomik not sure then. Generally that's where gnome tracks stuff it wants to restart.
[04:05] <cafuego> RAdams: Did you hit 'b' after editing that line?
[04:06] <AdrianStrays> I've tried two different alarm programs, and neither of them have worked properly. Every time I restart my computer, the programs don't autoload, therefore they don't notify me.  How can I fix this?
[04:06] <RAdams> cafuego: yes
[04:06] <nickrud> AdrianStrays you can add them to system->prefs->session , first tab
[04:07] <speaker219> #sp219 :D
[04:08] <RAdams> cafuego: any suggestions? I can boot into Windows (that's what I'm in now), but that messed up fstab entry is preventing a linux boot
[04:09] <nickrud> RAdams just editing /etc/fstab? You could use a live cd, or install the ext2 driver from fs-driver.org and edit it with notepad in windows

[04:12] <BuckWild> ok
[04:12] <BuckWild> that's the only real question I had, thanks =P

[04:14] <jarrettgreen> Hey all. I'm having trouble finding a good reference point for setting up a CalDAV server on my ubuntu box. Anybody have one running? I can't even really find a god name or two of some good servers
[04:14] <nickrud> !br | pedro
[04:14] <ubotu> pedro: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[04:14] <cdecarlo> Ziroday: I accidentally killed the panels, do you know the command to start them up again?
[04:15] <Stroganoff> xfce4-panel
[04:15] <pedro> como entro no ubuntu br?
[04:15] <Ziroday> jarrettgreen: I am not sure about CalDAV, but I know on my debian box I had to load the dav modules for apache to create a webdav share. I then jut published my calendar to the share

[04:16] <Devyll>  hello all. I need to reconfigure grup since my linux is not booting anymore. I have a bootable knoppix cd and I need to get into my ubuntu lnx. can you guys tell me how ? there was a tutorial but I can't seem to find it. Also a friend told me once how can I do it. (take control of my shell using a bootable cd) . it was something with mount bla bla ... and chmod -x ..bla bla
[04:16] <cdecarlo> Stroganoff: thanks!
[04:16] <cdecarlo> guess I need to learn the ps columns better
[04:16] <jarrettgreen> Ziroday - I have webdav up and running - but a good CalDav server will let my entire shop use one calenedar, instead of simply storing a published calendar - right?
[04:17] <jarrettgreen> A group subscription calendar is what I'm looking for.
[04:17] <Ziroday> jarrettgreen: not sure, as I said I just publish my calendar to webdav and then access it with phpicalendar
[04:17] <jarrettgreen> hmmm. I'll look up phpIcalendar
[04:17] <abdoreza> nickrud: thanks
[04:17] <Ziroday> jarrettgreen: you could use google calendar, or yahoo calendar
[04:18] <jarrettgreen> I've thoght of that. But I've got this pretty ubuntu box up and running :)
[04:18] <jarrettgreen> We are a design firm, so all macs, and with iCal we can have a group cal that everyone can read/write/and have access too
[04:20] <nickrud> Devyll https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-bf0ad184b84304b51996a11111a1901667529a80
[04:20] <Ziroday> jarrettgreen: nice, well you can try publishing the calendar to your webdav and if taht does not work then go around trying to work out how to use caldav
[04:21] <jarrettgreen> Ziroday - I'll test it out. But I don't know if that's the funcationalty I'm looking for. I'm really surprised at the lack of CalDAV implementation for *nix. At least what I"m finding.
[04:22] <LSG> What's the command to delete a folder in a terminal?
[04:22] <Flannel> LSG: rmdir
[04:22] <Starnestommy> LSG: 'rmdir folder' if it's empty or 'rm -rf folder' if it isn't
[04:22] <Ashfire908> LSG rmdir for a blank or rm -R to recursivly delete a directory
[04:23] <kindofabuzz> i wonder if wine ever fixed the battlenet thing

[04:50] <vero> hey guys, i can't get my tv outpu to work, Ati HD3650 DVI-to-HDMI dongle -- anybody have a hints
[04:51] <jchroosted> Hi, I'm having a strange issue. I did an apt-get install headers build-essential and a few other packaged. And during the apt-get it said something liek "may need to rerun lilo" is passing. But, to my surprise, when I booted grub can no longer find my kernel.
[04:52] <jchroosted> So I booted up a livecd, and once again I was surprised. I have no vmlinuz in /boot . Which my menu.lst is pointing to.
[04:52] <vero> hey guys, i can't get my tv outpu to work, Ati HD3650 DVI-to-HDMI dongle -- anybody have a hints
[04:52] <jchroosted> This had to happen after the apt-get because I had restarted right before this.
[04:52] <amenado> jchroosted-> nothing in your /boot nor /  ?
[04:52] <jchroosted> I have things in both, but no vmlinuz
[04:53] <jchroosted> that grub is pointing to
[04:53] <Joesep1> IndyGunFreak: This looks like its for setting up a new sound card: is this the page I should really be looking at?
[04:53] <vero> hey guys, i can't get my tv outpu to work, Ati HD3650 DVI-to-HDMI dongle -- anybody have a hints
[04:53] <jchroosted> Im in a chroot right now.
[04:53] <jchroosted> root@bt:/# ls /boot | grep -i vmlinuz
[04:53] <jchroosted> root@bt:/#
[04:53] <jchroosted> however my grub folders , etc are still there
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> if you ahve an intel HDA sound device, yes.. intel HDA and Gutsy had issues.. but they work great in Hardy
[04:53] <vero> hey guys, i can't get my tv outpu to work, Ati HD3650 DVI-to-HDMI dongle -- anybody have a hints--- my tv is not showing in the screen manager

[04:54] <jchroosted> thats what my menu.lst shows

[04:56] <jchroosted> I was apt getting the packaged to build modules. headers, build-essential, and automake1.9
[04:56] <jchroosted> that is all
[04:56] <Joesep1> It says the directory does not exist, do I need to create it, or is it part of another problem
[04:56] <Joesep1> IndyGunFreak: When is hardy coming out?
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> yes, you need to create it.
[04:56] <jchroosted> it had to get strange initram dependecies and such as well
[04:56] <amenado> jchroosted-> thats pretty odd..
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> it shoudla told you that in a previous step.
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> Joesep1: 2 weeks
[04:56] <jchroosted> odd, its a disaster
[04:56] <amenado> jchroosted-> you are booted off of your liveCD now?
[04:56] <jchroosted> yes
[04:56] <jchroosted> im willing to reinstall or rebuild the kernel
[04:57] <nixnoob> how can i rename a single file using the command line?
[04:57] <jchroosted> manually or automatically
[04:57] <jchroosted> I just wonder if that is the only problem
[04:57] <Joesep1> IndyGunFreak: I've had this problem for like.... 2 months.... I think I'll wait 2 weeks.... I haven't switched from a previous version....  is it easy to do?
[04:57] <amenado> jchroosted-> and you expect your /boot to be same in liveCd as you have when you booted off of hard disk?
[04:57] <jchroosted> amenada, I mounted /dev/hda1 to /mnt/hda3/boot
[04:57] <jchroosted> so yes, I do
[04:57] <amenado> jchroosted-> without telling me the details i would not know..

[05:00] <amenado> jchroosted-> i will stop because of your attitude..if you can only be honest of what you are saying

[05:00] <jchroosted> I entered a chroot
[05:00] <jchroosted> How hard is it

[05:04] <ubotu> jchroosted: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:04] <jchroosted> amenado: I enerted a chroot on my system that failed, lets assume I got that far on my own powers and abilities
[05:05] <nickrud> jchroosted he's not doubting you, he's ensuring he understands what you are doing/saying so he can give good help. If he's not sure about stuff, he;ll ask. Dont take it personally
[05:05] <jchroosted> And Ive already said twice, where I am.
[05:05] <jchroosted> Yet here we are.

[05:06] <ltcabral> thx
[05:06] <nathan__> I cannot figure out how to access my window's shares
[05:06] <Cpudan80> ltcabral: FYI about ##C --- only ask stuff in there if you are really stuck and have read the manual
[05:07] <Cpudan80> ltcabral: They dont like newb questions at all -- somewhat unfortunate
[05:07] <jchroosted> What can cause vmlinuz to disappear, that's all I need to know. Would it involve initram?
[05:07] <nickrud> Cpudan80 do you knw a beginner channel?
[05:07] <nathan__> Can anyone help me?\
[05:07] <jchroosted> Or any packages that cause you to rerun grub, etc.
[05:07] <Cpudan80> nickrud: Not specifically for C
[05:07] <ltcabral> Cpudan80: well they were very nice to me last time.. and it wasnt that noob question... :)
[05:07] <Cpudan80> nickrud: C isn't for beginners anyway :-)
[05:08] <nickrud> jchroosted it wasn't updated. just point it at a kernel. Besides, those aren't used in the ubuntu boot process anyway
[05:08] <nickrud> Cpudan80 everyone is a beginner in C at some point ;p
[05:08] <jchroosted> nickrud: I no longer have a kernel
[05:08] <amenado> jchroosted-> it does not, am guessing you are looking at the wrong partition
[05:08] <Cpudan80> ltcabral: They yelled at me for asking something about a thread, and then came to the conclusion that I didnt know structs or points
[05:08] <Cpudan80> pointers*
[05:08] <illDecree_> anyone got a min to help a noob?
[05:08] <Cpudan80> Nevermind the fact that I use C every day
[05:08] <amenado> jchroosted-> can we do this differently? just boot off of liveCd and dont do any chroot ing
[05:08] <nickrud> jchroosted no kernel in /boot at all?   sudo apt-get install linux-generic , should pull in a kernel & other goodies
[05:09] <ltcabral> Cpudan80: oh well... maybe google should be always our first option :)
[05:09] <freeflyer57> (tags cannot be changed) any help? please
[05:09] <overthetop> if i download Ubuntu 7.10 and install it, will it be a simple update to 8.04 or will i need to do another download and new install of 8.04?
[05:09] <jchroosted> amenado: /dev/hda3              73G   50G   20G  72% /mnt/hda3
[05:09] <jchroosted> /dev/hda1              37M   11M   25M  30% /mnt/hda3/boot
[05:09] <Cpudan80> ltcabral: True
[05:09] <jchroosted> hda1 is boot, hda2 is swap, hda3 is root
[05:09] <nickrud> overthetop you'll do an update in place, no reinstall necessary
[05:09] <Cpudan80> overthetop: sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:09] <jchroosted> amenado: this is not a chroot issue
[05:09] <jchroosted> amenado: grus is throwing error 15, file not found
[05:10] <nickrud> overthetop s/update/dist upgrade/
[05:10] <jchroosted> amenado: grub is pointing at a file that no longer exist
[05:10] <Cpudan80> overthetop: The auto-updater thing will let you know when you can download the new version
[05:10] <caio> auahuha
[05:10] <overthetop> Thanks nickrud and cpudan80
[05:10] <hti_pro> any ideas why a user would not be able to play audio but root can
[05:10] <ltcabral> btw im getting error with my bind() when using sockets ->  bind: Address already in use. maybe someone knows how can i close this open connection? i already restarted the computer and it didnt work
[05:10] <amenado> jchroosted-> okay you have your way of resolving things, am trying to assist you of the familiar ways i know of, but since you insist your way, am stepping back
[05:10] <jchroosted> amenado: with all that overwhelming evidence, I think its BLATANTLY obvious the problem is not chroot
[05:10] <Cpudan80> ltcabral: What address are you binding to?
[05:10] <ltcabral> Cpudan80: localhost
[05:10] <jchroosted> amenado: I just showed you proof its not the chroot
[05:10] <Cpudan80> ltcabral: What port
[05:10] <nickrud> !attitude | jchroosted
[05:10] <ubotu> jchroosted: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.  I wish I understood it
[05:15] <tocmo0nlord> when i try to drag and drop a file into /var/www/ i get the error You do not have permissions to write to this folder
[05:15] <illDecree_> alright, im a complete noob, that really wants to switch, have read every doc, but cannot seem to figure out simple stuff. i just freshly installed kubuntu 7.04.  i need to get my graphics, wifi, and dial up modem working, but cannot figure out any after a week of research. im wanting to start w/the graphics, but have no idea where to really begin
[05:15] <nathan__> I tried "gksu shares-admin" and it popped up asking me to enter my password. I did that and nothing.
[05:15] <bruenig> where in the home directory are .desktop files creates / copied by alacarte?
[05:15] <Extravert> After I install a Kernel, will I be able to revert it if a problem arises during a boot up?
[05:15] <bruenig> created*
[05:15] <nickrud> bruenig .local/share/applications iirc
[05:15] <bruenig> ok
[05:15] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Well Ubuntu should come up with a restricted driver thing -- enable gfx, wifi and modem
[05:16] <ltcabral> Cpudan80: ya i know.. i know most cases that this problem can happen but not how to fix it :T
[05:16] <nickrud> illDecree_ what video card? I'll take a shot at that
[05:16] <gooody> what's the best video converter for ubuntu gutsy? video converter for psp.
[05:16] <illDecree_> cpudan80.... how/where?   (dont mean to sound like an idiot, but if i can get a start, i can probably make good progress...
[05:16] <tuxus> nathan: how about opening nautilus, and entering network:/// in the browser?
[05:17] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Ehhh well in the regular Ubuntu (gnome) it's under System Admin
[05:17] <ltcabral> Cpudan80: nop... just 1 client... i think its because i closed to server before closing the client... anyways not even a restart fixed it
[05:17] <illDecree_> im in KDE
[05:17] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: ehhh hang on
[05:17] <illDecree_> hmm...
[05:17] <nathan__> Well yes that is all and well, but I need to be able to designate files on my computer to be shared with other windows computers.
[05:17] <illDecree_> k, btw, TY!!! i really appreciate any help i can get
[05:17] <nathan__> And the only way I know how to do that is with the shared folders control panel
[05:17] <nickrud> illDecree_ ok, open a terminal (apps->acces->terminal,  and type   gksudo restricted-manager   , you should get a window
[05:17] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Open a terminal and do
[05:18] <Cpudan80> exactly what nickrud said :-)
[05:18] <nickrud> Cpudan80 all yours, I've got a good book waiting :)
[05:18] <Cpudan80> :-)
[05:18] <Cpudan80> C ya nickrud
[05:18] <tuxus> nathan_: may I suggest you learn how to set permissions from the commandline?
[05:19] <illDecree_> *"the program 'gksudo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get instal gksu"
[05:19] <nathan__> Can you elaborate?
[05:19] <illDecree_> i do not have a 'net connection on here yet
[05:19] <Extravert> Does anyone know which Kernel is required for the 9th gen Nvidia drivers?
[05:19] <elmer> What is a good temperature monitor for Linux?
[05:20] <gooody> what's the best video converter for ubuntu gutsy? video converter for psp.
[05:20] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: just type sudo instead
[05:20] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Ideally you would use gksudo... but for one time...
[05:20] <nathan__> tuxus can you please tell me what you mean.
[05:20] <tuxus> nathan_:secondly: I'm not so sure you can simply share files with windows boxes....  That's what for example Samba is for
[05:21] <tuxus> nathan_: have you shared files before with windows computers?
[05:21] <illDecree_> it asked for a p/w, i entered it, and it comes up w/ "sudo: restricted: command not found"
[05:21] <nathan__> Yes... and I was using samba, but network shares as a frontend
[05:21] <nathan__> It worked fine until today
[05:21] <BernardC> #python
[05:22] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: sudo restricted-manager ---- is that what you typed?
[05:22] <illDecree_> yep
[05:22] <tuxus> nathan_: ah - I think you'll have to join a samba channel to ask for help
[05:22] <Cpudan80> !samba | nathan__
[05:22] <ubotu> nathan__: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[05:22] <illDecree_> !!!
[05:22] <illDecree_> brb
[05:23] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: k
[05:23] <illDecree_> yeah...i tried again, no luck
[05:23] <tuxus> nathan_: irc.freenode.net #samba
[05:23] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Look in system settings, advanced tab
[05:23] <nathan__> @tuxus Ok, well thanks. Maybe this is my own little punishment for using the beta of ubuntu. I will defanatly check out other ways to configure samba.
[05:23] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: I dont use KDE --- had to ask the kubuntu channel
[05:24] <illDecree_> yeah, i went in there a few hours ago, and got nothing but useless "im too good" stuff,   i hate that...
[05:24] <tuxus> nathan_: the only other way I suggest is you look for a standard config on the 'Net and copy it to your config file, and start over
[05:24] <tocmo0nlord> when i try to drag and drop a file into /var/www/ i get the error You do not have permissions to write to this folder
[05:24] <wers> is it just me or are kde themes really lighter than most gnome themes?
[05:25] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: From within the advanced tab you should see the restricted driver thing
[05:25] <Cpudan80> fire it up
[05:25] <tuxus> tocmo0nlord: what would you want to copy there?
[05:25] <tocmo0nlord> smfuzion.exe file
[05:25] <tocmo0nlord> so i can transfer it online
[05:25] <nathan__> Tuxus: I think I just figured it out. After I upgraded to 8.04 it appears that I forgot to install smbfs
[05:25] <illDecree_> advanced tab of what?
[05:25] <illDecree_> of konsole?
[05:25] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: It's under system settings
[05:25] <tuxus> nathan_: If life were so easy...  lol
[05:26] <nathan__> tuxus: I know what you mean
[05:26] <nathan__> ps. do you know how to get those blasted dashes out of my nickname
[05:26] <MrKeuner> can I log vino connections(attempts)?
[05:26] <nathan__> they dont show up under the preferences
[05:26] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: System settings should be an option from the menu
[05:26] <tuxus> tocmo0nlord: an *.exe file for Linux???
[05:26] <illDecree_> k, lemme check... brb
[05:26] <tocmo0nlord> its not for linux
[05:26] <tocmo0nlord> im not running it
[05:27] <icesword> Cpudan80, hi,a little amazed to see you here
[05:27] <Cpudan80> tocmo0nlord: You should just stick it in public_html of your home directory
[05:27] <tuxus> nathan: dunno... I just pick any ol' name and join  :)
[05:27] <MrKeuner> tuxus: there are exe files for linux as well
[05:27] <MrKeuner> tuxus: mono binaries
[05:28] <AdrianStrays> I need some help (again). I have a tendency to leave the volume control really high, so when I turn it on, the boot noise is really loud. I'd like to make it so whenever I turn on my computer it starts the volume at a specific level.  Someone gave me the code :amixer -c 0 cset numid=2 50% but it didn't work. Help?
[05:28] <illDecree_> ok, im in system settings, but nothing about restricted driver manager...
[05:28] <tuxus> "mono binaries"  never too old to learn...
[05:28] <tocmo0nlord> i tohught that was the public one
[05:29] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Did you hit advanced?
[05:29] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: should be a tab
[05:29] <illDecree_> im looking for what i can find
[05:29] <illDecree_> yeah, im in advanced
[05:29] <harushimo> hello quick question
[05:29] <harushimo> I'm trying to mount my digital camera manually
[05:29] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: you should really use gnome
[05:29] <nathan__>
[05:29] <Cpudan80> kde sucks
[05:29]  * Cpudan80 ducks
[05:29] <harushimo> I want to know what were the camera is getting mounted
[05:29] <harushimo> how would I find that
[05:30] <AdrianStrays> I need some help (again). I have a tendency to leave the volume control really high, so when I turn it on, the boot noise is really loud. I'd like to make it so whenever I turn on my computer it starts the volume at a specific level.  Someone gave me the code :amixer -c 0 cset numid=2 50% but it didn't work. Help?
[05:30] <tuxus> harushimo: does an icon show up on the desktop?
[05:30] <icesword> harushimo, attach it,set it to usb read mode,try sudo mount -a
[05:30] <nathansoz>
[05:30]  * zcode` thows a dart at Cpudan80
[05:30] <titis_semampir> hai max
[05:31] <harushimo> iceword: set what to usb mode
[05:31] <illDecree_> haha,, i really want to use gnome, but i can't make as much sense of it as KDE... when ur new, you tend to take a side quickly... ya know?
[05:31] <harushimo> tuxus: the camera icon doesn't show up
[05:31] <illDecree_> i really know i should use gnome, but i think its the interface that irritates me the most
[05:31] <kadko> Hello i get a problem while ubuntu hardy load in normal mode, when i chose to start that SO i get a msg like Kernel Panic Unable to loading on root (0,0) what can i do?
[05:31] <nathansoz> I have a one more question.
[05:31] <titis_semampir> hai
[05:31] <illDecree_> i've played w/live distros for years, and all were KDE, so i guess thats where it comes from
[05:31] <icesword> harushimo, your camera
[05:31] <bastid_raZor> !hardy | kadko
[05:31] <ubotu> kadko: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[05:32] <titis_semampir> hai
[05:32] <tuxus> harushimo: for myself, I simply use a cardreader....
[05:32] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: do this on a terminal
[05:32] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: sudo apt-get install restricted-manager
[05:32] <titis_semampir> ggg
[05:33] <harushimo> tuxus: I agree
[05:33] <illDecree_> can i do that w/out an internet connection?
[05:33] <harushimo> tuxus: I don't have one at the moment
[05:33] <AdrianStrays> I need some help (again). I have a tendency to leave the volume control really high, so when I turn it on, the boot noise is really loud. I'd like to make it so whenever I turn on my computer it starts the volume at a specific level.  Someone gave me the code :amixer -c 0 cset numid=2 50% but it didn't work. Help?
[05:33] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: make sure the disk is in
[05:33] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: That one (hopefully) is on the disk
[05:33] <tuxus> harushimo: plug the camera in, and in a terminal issue: dmesg
[05:33] <tuxus> is the camera detected?
[05:34] <harushimo> tuxus: dmesg what?
[05:34] <tuxus> simply type "dmesg" in a terminal after you plug the cam in
[05:34] <harushimo> I did
[05:34] <illDecree_> k, i got an error... im guessing that when it says "E: Couldn't find package" it is refering to "E:" as a cd drive like MS would?
[05:34] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: It might be called hardware drivers in the advanced thing
[05:34] <donspaulding> how do I get one ubuntu installation to reinstall its version of grub over another ubuntu installation on a separate partition of the same machine?
[05:34] <titis_semampir> send my email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:35] <tuxus> harushimo: in the output, do you see anything usb-related to your cam?
[05:35] <globe> anyone have any experience with restarting an upstart script from inside a cron-triggered bash script?
[05:35] <compaqr4000> Anyone else here with a Compaq R4000 that is a big a pain in the but to get working with Linux?  From wireless, to random keyboard issues, to fan to overheating?
[05:35] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: must not be on the disk
[05:35] <illDecree_> i just popped in the disk, gonna try it again
[05:35] <illDecree_> brb
[05:35] <titis_semampir> hai byan
[05:35] <MrKeuner> !ops titis_semampir is annoying
[05:36] <illDecree_> cpudan80_: same error
[05:36] <harushimo> !pastebin
[05:36] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Go back into the system thing and look for hardware drivers

[05:37] <harushimo> in two seconds
[05:37] <harushimo> I'm typing it right now
[05:37] <illDecree_> Cpudan80_: all i have in the advanced tab of System settings is: disk and file systems, system services, login manager, windows apps, audio encoding, KDE resources, service manager, and session manager
[05:38] <titis_semampir> nickrud please go head ?!!!! stop from here
[05:38] <nickrud> titis_semampir #ubuntu-id is the indonesian channel, you might try that one

[05:38] <harushimo> tuxus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62992/
[05:39] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: You really need the restricted driver thing

[05:39] <nickrud> titis_semampir this is a support channel, not for general chatting
[05:39] <illDecree_> ........ :-/    i kinda figured....
[05:40] <nickrud> titis_semampir you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:40] <illDecree_> well man, i really, REALLY appreciate your help!!!
[05:40] <tuxus> harushimo: cool, so it's detected at least. Now read your fstab... terminal and enter cat /etc/fstab  I recommend you make the terminal full-screen
[05:41] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Once you get that thing, you should be able to easily enable the 3rd party drivers
[05:41] <compaqr4000> Anyone else with a fan/heat problem on their laptop that could help here?
[05:42] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: If you start back over with regular ubuntu you'll prob have better luck --- gnome is nice --- you'll get used to it :-)
[05:42] <icesword> nickrud, hello.brother
[05:42] <nickrud> icesword good evening!
[05:42] <illDecree_> alright, so can ya give me a basic rundown on it? i enable 3rd party drivers, identify my chipset, get the driver, and go from there, right? how would i identify my chipset?
[05:42] <joshua>  /msg ubotu etiquette
[05:43] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: All you do is check a box - it's that easy ;-)
[05:43] <illDecree_> thats nice!!! alright
[05:44] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: It asks you like "You have an <ATI Mobility Radeon...> to use the restricted driver - check this box"
[05:44] <illDecree_> awesome!!!!
[05:44] <Cpudan80> And I am sorry if you actually have an ati mobility radeon
[05:44] <illDecree_> haha
[05:44] <harushimo> tuxus:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62993/
[05:44] <illDecree_> actually...
[05:44] <illDecree_> haha
[05:44] <Cpudan80> Which have the worst *nix support of any card out there practically
[05:44]  * nickrud has mobility radeon ;(
[05:44] <illDecree_> you would laugh at me if i told you what im actually running this on...
[05:45]  * Extravert just bought an Nvidia 9600 GT
[05:45] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Oh really?
[05:46] <illDecree_> Cpudan80_: check PM
[05:46] <Cpudan80> I saw it
[05:46] <illDecree_> dont laugh!!!
[05:46] <illDecree_> haha
[05:47] <illDecree_> i bought it from a friend for $75, put 2 gigs ram in it, and decided it would be good for learning linux
[05:47] <icechunk> Hello
[05:47] <compaqr4000> how about any xpress200 owners out there that have enabled compiz and would like to offer a how to?
[05:47] <tuxus> harushim: don't help too much... what is the make/model of your camera?
[05:47]  * cdecarlo has a mobility radeon with an even worse Dell 5100 wrapped around it
[05:47] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: That's not so bad
[05:47] <icechunk> Is it possible to start a GUI in a PXE-boot environment?
[05:47] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: That thing has specs similar to my laptop
[05:47] <Cpudan80> My processor is better though
[05:48] <illDecree_> really?
[05:48] <Cpudan80> And I've got a bigger HDD
[05:48] <tuxus> icechunk: elaborate....
[05:48] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: Yeah, T42 -- 1.7 GHz M w/ 1 GB RAM & 70 GB HDD
[05:48] <illDecree_> im not too upset w/it, 2 gigs ram really sets it off, but i am not happy w/the fact that i cannot seem to find a CPU upgrade for it
[05:48] <nickrud> compaqr4000 wait for hardy, you will have zero issues
[05:49] <compaqr4000> nickrud, I'm in hardy
[05:49] <Cpudan80> illDecree_: The 40 GB HD is a bit small
[05:49] <cdecarlo> nickrud: that's quite the statement
[05:49] <icechunk> tuxus: for example, I would like to have a terminal that grabs a boot image from the Ubuntu server and boots into a GUI- where users could type in a username and password and use it. They wouldn't have a clue that an OS wasn't installed at all.
[05:49] <tuxus> nickrud: would you like another foot?  lol
[05:49] <Dan_E> evening all....
[05:49] <nickrud> compaqr4000 system->admin->restricted drivers enable it and reboot. I've had zero problems with my express 200 and compiz ;p
[05:49] <compaqr4000> nickrud, it worked in 7.10......now, restricted drivers just don't work
[05:49] <illDecree_> Cpudan: yeah, the HDD is getting an upgrade soon, at least is SATA though...
[05:50] <tuxus> icechunk: that's been around for a loooooong time  ..... LTSP....
[05:50] <icechunk> tuxus, that was my initial understanding
[05:50] <icechunk> In fact, I setup a test environment using virtual machines
[05:50] <nickrud> compaqr4000 hrm. What happens, 'don't work' is zero use in troubleshooting.
[05:50] <Dan_E> Can't get the RAM on my g/f's laptop to cooperate
[05:50] <AdrianStrays> I need some help (again). I have a tendency to leave the volume control really high, so when I turn it on, the boot noise is really loud. I'd like to make it so whenever I turn on my computer it starts the volume at a specific level.  Someone gave me the code :amixer -c 0 cset numid=2 50% but it didn't work. Help?
[05:50] <tuxus> icechunk: I guess I'm not understanding the prob?
[05:51] <nickrud> AdrianStrays did you add that to /etc/rc.local ?
[05:51] <compaqr4000> nickrud, when selecting System...Administration....Hardware Drivers nothing happens at all.
[05:51] <compaqr4000> nickrud, I click and that is it.
[05:51] <nickrud> compaqr4000 nothing happens at all... you mean no window opens?
[05:51] <icechunk> tuxus: Let me elaborate further :P  When I boot my PXE client, it finds everything fine and boots into a terminal. It has a prompt: (initramfs). And I can type in "Linux" commands
[05:51] <icechunk> but only certain commands
[05:51] <AdrianStrays> nickrud, I was told to try it in terminal first, and if it worked, then to add it to /etc/rc.local
[05:52] <nickrud> compaqr4000 anyway, I saw something about that on #ubuntu+1 , ask there
[05:52] <compaqr4000> nickrud, nope, nothing
[05:52] <tuxus> icechunk: sounds like your "clients" are not yet added to the LTSP server?
[05:52] <compaqr4000> nickrud, I tried and that is why I'm here
[05:52] <icechunk> oh
[05:52] <nickrud> compaqr4000 no hardy answers here until release, sorry
[05:53] <icechunk> tuxus, I haven't read anything about that at all while doing the tutorials (I've been reading through 3) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto
[05:53] <compaqr4000> nickrud, ok, thanks.
[05:53] <tuxus> icechunk: Ubuntu server edition 7.10 makes an LTSP setup really easy
[05:53] <AdrianStrays> nickrud, I was told to try it in terminal first, and if it worked, then to add it to /etc/rc.local
[05:53] <nickrud> AdrianStrays refreshing my amixer memory, a sec
[05:54] <icechunk> tuxus: Correct. to clarify, I'm using Ubuntu 7 i386 Server
[05:55] <LainIwakura> Hello, how do I allow X user to be able to write in /var/www/test without sudo access?
[05:55] <tuxus> icechunk: I'd have to research that a bit further as well.
[05:55] <MrGnu> Is there a way to install ubuntu o
[05:56] <MrGnu> On eeepc, using a mem card
[05:56] <MrGnu> ?
[05:56] <zcat[1]> LainIwakura: sudo chmod a+rw /var/www/test
[05:56] <icechunk> tuxus, Thanks. With the info you gave me, I'll see what I can do as well
[05:56] <crdlb> LainIwakura: you add that user to the group that owns /var/www/test and make sure that it has group write permission
[05:56] <LainIwakura> zcat[1]: Thank you
[05:56] <LainIwakura> crdlb: How would I do that?
[05:56] <nickrud> AdrianStrays try  amixer sset Master 10%
[05:57] <AdrianStrays> Nickrud, WOW it worked! Thanks, I've been waiting for that for weeks
[05:58] <AdrianStrays> Nickrud, okay, hold on let me see if I can add it
[05:58] <tuxus> icechunk: read this entire thread: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2007-October/002300.html
[05:58] <tuxus> icechunk: looks like a solution has been found?
[05:58] <icechunk> Thanks *reading*
[05:58] <LainIwakura> zcat[1]: Is it safe if I do that to a /var/www/test folder? This is viewable on the web but it only contains a stat.html file I would like to update periodically. Thanks.
[05:59] <nickrud> AdrianStrays rc.local should set it before the login screen starts, but let me know if it doesn't
[05:59] <AdrianStrays> nickrud, should it look like this:
[05:59] <AdrianStrays> #!/bin/sh -e
[05:59] <AdrianStrays> #
[05:59] <AdrianStrays> # rc.local
[05:59] <AdrianStrays> #
[05:59] <AdrianStrays> # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
[05:59] <FloodBot3> AdrianStrays: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:00] <zcat[1]> LainIwakura: nobody on the web will be able to write to it, but any user on your computer will ... the other way to do this might be 'sudo chown user /var/www/test' then only that user will have access
[06:00] <nickrud> AdrianStrays just put that one line above exit 0
[06:00] <LainIwakura> zcat[1]: Okay great. Thanks for your help.
[06:01] <FloodBot3> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[06:03] <nickrud> AdrianStrays you should have voice again
[06:03] <AdrianStrays> Nickrud, sorry
[06:03] <AdrianStrays> Nickrud, I'll restart and get back to you
[06:04] <cchild> someone just hacked my linux website (not fully developed), and put some crazy music on it, please someone listen to it  and tell me what language it is.: http://www.cygnitec.com
[06:05] <Ziroday> cchild: this is a support channel, strictly for ubuntu support not for deciphering songs
[06:06] <icechunk> cchild, why, with all that just happened to you, do you want to know THAT kind of information?
[06:06] <AdrianStrays> Nickrud, it worked! Thank you soo much
[06:07] <cchild> icechunk, i figured why not go to a channel with users from all over the world and see if someone recongnizes the language
[06:07] <sielnt_> cchild, ahahahah
[06:07] <sielnt_> PWNED.
[06:07] <Ziroday> !ubuntu | cchild
[06:07] <ubotu> cchild: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[06:09] <cchild> is there a postnuke, joomla channel
[06:09] <icechunk> cchild, here's your offending URL: http://classyt.com/_notes/Xjalanan.swf
[06:10] <bullgard4> cchild: Questions should be appended with a question mark.
[06:10] <cchild> bullgard4: stop being petty?
[06:11] <cchild> thanks icechunk
[06:11] <icechunk> cchild, http://www.jalanan.org/ It might be related to that
[06:13] <cchild> ahah, icechunk, i think this may be it. thanks, though i know this was not related my ubuntu system support, but i figure i can count a the knowledge of the folks here.
[06:13] <icechunk> lol
[06:14] <AdrianStrays> Okay, I have another problem. In openoffice.org the spell check does not catch spelling errors, at all. Even when I purposefully misspell words.  Help?
[06:14] <icechunk> cchild, that link seems to be related to a porn site in some manner.
[06:14] <Anza> hi
[06:14] <Anza> heeelp
[06:14] <Anza> my tray icons disappeared
[06:14] <Anza> now I can't send anything to the tray
[06:14] <Anza> :S
[06:14] <kekexili> how do you mean
[06:15] <Starnestommy> Anza: is the notification applet in the panel anywhere?
[06:15] <Anza> what notification applet?
[06:15] <cchild> is there a content manager channel
[06:15] <cchild> ?
[06:16] <welcome8> Enter text here...
[06:16] <welcome8> vb;nl
[06:16] <icechunk> Not sure. What kind of content are you looking to manage?
[06:16] <Anza> if I click on the X of a program, for example Nicotine, it gives me the option to send to tray or close, and if I say send to tray it just disappears
[06:16] <welcome8> 062706440633064406270645 06390644064a06430645
[06:16] <nickrud> welcome8 is that intentional?
[06:16] <Anza> I think I deleted it by mistake but dunno how to put them back
[06:16] <tenpaiyomi> Does anybody here have experience with Postfix, Sasl, SMTP, and Mysql?  Regardless of what I do, it doesn't act as if it's using mysql
[06:16] <nickrud> Anza try right clicking the panel, and adding the notification area back
[06:16] <Starnestommy> Anza: right-click on the panel, select 'add to panel', go to 'utilities', select 'notification area', then click 'add'
[06:16] <cchild> icechunk, clearly i wont be using joomla, because it has been compromised. postnuke channel
[06:17] <icechunk> cchild, lol
[06:18] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> what do you mean act as if its not using mysql?  is it supposed to? do you know what data is supposed to be stored on mysql?
[06:18] <icechunk> cchild, it appears that whoever hacked your site has hacked other sites as well
[06:18] <Anza> thank you! it worked
[06:18] <Anza> but I ended doing it because I was wondering why the newest amsn version doesnt show any icon
[06:18] <AdrianStrays> Oh wait. I have a new problem.  I tried to make it so my clock syncronizes with the internet time servers.  It said I had to intstall Ntp or something.  In the process it told me that "the configuration file was modified by you or by a script). An updated version is shipped in this package. If you want to keep your current version say 'keep'. Yadayadayada what do I do?
[06:19] <nickrud> icechunk cchild this isn't exactly direct ubuntu support, could you take it to offtopic please
[06:19] <speaker219> #sp219 :D
[06:19] <kongove> hello
[06:19] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: I have postfix setup to with the users and domains stored in a mysql database, which it uses for authentication.  I have Sasl setup to where (from what I understand with my configurations) it's supposed to be using mysql, however no matter -what- I do, the authentication fails.
[06:19] <Anza> there is just a little white box instead the icon
[06:19] <nickrud> AdrianStrays use the new one
[06:19] <icechunk> nickrud, sure
[06:19] <Anza> does anybody knows why? or how to fix it?
[06:19] <AdrianStrays> Nickrud, thanks
[06:19] <cchild> clearly the server which is linux has nothing to do with it. The joomla program which is written in php was clearly not coded for security
[06:19] <levander> I want to look at the source code for a package but have never really messed around with source debs.  Is there a tutorial or something I can look at?
[06:19] <icechunk> cchild, are you getting my messages?
[06:20] <nickrud> !packaging | levander this should get you started
[06:20] <ubotu> levander this should get you started: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports
[06:20] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> you know which database that postfix uses right? can you manually query it and see if the data is there? off course using the correct account to access mysql
[06:20] <cchild> icechunk, subtle message or actual?
[06:20] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: I know which database it is using.  I am using that same database and user schema for the IMAP authentication
[06:21] <icechunk> cchild: I have no clue. Obviously you haven't gotten them though. Don't worry about it.
[06:21] <nickrud> icechunk if you were pming, cchild needs to register. Or, you could both just join #icechunk ;)
[06:22] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> does postfix have a config file to indicate it has to use mysql? or pam module? or /etc/passwd ?
[06:22] <wildwobby> http://wildwobby.myminicity.com/
[06:22] <wildwobby> Help me!
[06:22] <jerbear> how do i install pulse audio before hardy releases?
[06:22] <levander> nickrud: What about some kind of doc.'s that describe Ubuntu's guidelines for releasing security and other updates?  I've always wondered how the developers decide what to release via updates and what to release just when the next distribution comes out.
[06:22] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: within the /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf I have the information as per the ubuntu wiki
[06:22] <[chr0n0s]> any idea why i am getting these messages [  394.445511] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
[06:22] <[chr0n0s]> [  394.445624] ata1.00: error: { UNC } . detailed output at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62995/
[06:22] <illDecree_> does anyone have a command to figure out the driver required for my graphics?
[06:23] <wildwobby> http://wildwobby.myminicity.com/
[06:23] <nickrud> levander not that I've seen. I do know that generally it's serious bug fixes and security
[06:23] <nickrud> wildwobby please don't advertise here
[06:23] <bastid_raZor> illDecree_; lspci will tell you which card you have and you can go from there.
[06:23] <cchild> the command to register is something linke "/msg nickserv register mypassword"?
[06:23] <levander> nickrud: Yeah, it's probably just that general and doesn't need a guide.
[06:23] <Starnestommy> cchild: that's it without the quotes
[06:23] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> i have not installed it myself, however, what does the instructions says, or the config should be what type of authentication?
[06:24] <nickrud> illDecree_ lspci | grep -i vga will tell you your graphics card/chip
[06:24] <kongove> hello,everyone
[06:24] <patbam> hi, trying to figure out if this is a bug: http://ruphus.com/stash/mynavthingieisborken.png when i updated recently that nav thing got smaller (no longer legible). but i don't know if i've just configured it wrong or there's a bug
[06:24] <thundr3> hello kongove
[06:24] <illDecree_> nickrud: i tried that.... it doesn't seem to come up.... not sure why
[06:25] <kongove> Do you use eva?
[06:25] <illDecree_> dammit!!!
[06:25] <nickrud> illDecree_ are you sure you're typing it correctly? try copy and paste ->    lspci | grep -i vga    <--
[06:25] <illDecree_> nvm... brb
[06:25] <bastid_raZor> nickrud; that sure narrows it down.. i should makes notes of the wonderful uses of grep
[06:26] <illDecree_> ok that last one worked...
[06:26] <illDecree_> but, it doesn't tell me anything more than i already knew...
[06:26] <nickrud> illDecree_ so, what was it?
[06:26] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto#head-3f67bf992b535d41df608093741c2445e4ed1d1f
[06:26] <cchild> Starnestommy, i did the command and it brough a window with the password i typed in: " register mypassword" where do i go from here?
[06:26] <illDecree_> nickrud: honestly, im a noob, and am having one hell of a time getting the graphics working...
I think eva's not good working these days
[06:26] <illDecree_> it comes up w/ " unichrome pro IGP rev 01 "
[06:27] <cafuego> Buffer I/O error on device sdc4, logical block 128368 attempt to access beyond end of device
[06:27] <nickrud> illDecree_ are you getting any graphics? And it's really hard to give advice without info ... oh, that piece of ...
[06:27]  * cafuego thinks that would be filed under "not good"
[06:27] <daymoh> anyone know which package has the /lib/firmware stuff in it? I accidently deleted mine :*)
[06:27] <Starnestommy> cchild: you may need to do it again
[06:27] <illDecree_> yeah, its not a greap laptop... its just one i decided to try to learn linux on
[06:28] <robbie> hey every one
[06:28] <cchild> Starnestommy, from the new window or this one?
[06:28] <thundr3> cafuego, No, that doesn't sound very good.  Does it happen often?
[06:28] <Starnestommy> cchild: try that oen
[06:28] <Starnestommy> *one
[06:28] <illDecree_> yeah, im getting graphics in 4:3, but its widescreen... im getting "VESA" for the graphics, and "Plug n play" for the monitor...
[06:28] <cchild> Starnestommy, how would i log in?
[06:28] <nickrud> illDecree_ does it have a chip type listed in that vga line?
[06:29] <illDecree_> no
[06:29] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> reading that link and just looking for authentication, you have modified this  /etc/courier/authmysqlrc  ?
[06:29] <Starnestommy> cchild: I found the problem.  Someone else already registered your current nick
[06:29] <cchild> Starnestommy, it was me but i forgot the pwd
[06:29] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> or is it the SMTP authentication you are using?
[06:29] <illDecree_> all i get from begining to end is " 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA technologies, Inc. Unichrome pro IGP (rev 01)
[06:30] <Starnestommy> cchild: you could use a different nick or ask a freenode staff member in #freenode to reset it
[06:30] <nickrud> illDecree_ ok, I think you need the xserver-xorg-video-unichrome  package. And it's only available from the net
[06:30] <tenpaiyomi> amendo: It's SMTP authentication I am trying to use.
[06:30] <cafuego> thundr3: Just started happening on boot with a new kernel; that's a swap partition btw. I have had a few crashes and I was blaming the sil680 pata card I had... but perhaps I need to blame the disk.
[06:30] <cchild> Starnestommy, how would i log in, i may remember the pwd
[06:30] <Starnestommy> cchild: /msg nickserv identify password
[06:31] <cchild>  /msg nickserv identify l13579
[06:31] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> it is near the very end, you have both those files? smtpd.conf and /etc/postfix/main.cf  ?
[06:31] <icechunk> oops
[06:31] <illDecree_> nickrud:  thats the prob... i have no net connection... the modem isn't installed either, niether is the wifi... and the 10/100 is broken
[06:31] <cafuego> h4x!
[06:31] <cchild> crap
[06:31] <illDecree_> does this mean im screwed?
[06:31] <Starnestommy> cchild: without the space before the /
[06:31] <nickrud> illDecree_ or it may be the xserver-xorg-video-via
[06:31] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: Yes
[06:31] <Starnestommy> cchild: and also, /msg nickserv help set password
[06:32] <nickrud> illDecree_ then you need to concentrate on wifi. And I"m pretty clueless about wireless. What does    lspci | grep -i wlan  say?
[06:32] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> exact options for sender and recepient  per that link?
[06:32]  * nickrud thinks cafuego has ulterior designs
[06:32] <thundr3> cafuego, that sounds like it might be the case, but I'm really not knowledgeable enough to really troubleshoot further.  I'm sure someone else in here has more expertise than I do.
[06:33] <illDecree_> that showed up in just LSPCI.... i get "broadcom BCM4318 airforce one 54g rev 2
[06:33] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: Those options, as well as about 10 different configuration types.  I've been at this for about 6 hours now
[06:33] <cafuego> thundr3: oh, I expect i do, just pasted it to complain, really.
[06:33] <sailaway85> Hi Im back
[06:33] <illDecree_> i tried like hell to get NDISWRAPPER working.... its not in the machine, or the disk, and when i tried to d/l it and install it, i kept getting errors...
[06:34] <DOOM_NX> good morning
[06:34] <cchild>  Starnestommy, am just going to register a new id
[06:34] <cafuego> thundr3: The other partition on that disk is part of a raid 95) array so i need to take it out, check the whole disk, then re-add it. Just don't know that i can be bothered today.
[06:34] <icechunk> oyy... forgot to compile the linux client with the Ubuntu GUI
NDISWRAPPER is not working with my box too:)
[06:35] <thundr3> cafuego, in that case, sorry to hear your disk or card may or may not be failing :)
[06:35] <icechunk> tuxus: It's working 100% correctly now. :D
[06:35] <icechunk> Thanks!
[06:35] <sailaway85> Its been a journey getting ubuntu to work but I have a network and 3d graphics and it only took a month.
[06:35] <illDecree_> my plan, basically was to mess around w/this version until the new one comes out in two weeks, but so far, i have managed to get NOTHING working......
[06:35] <VikDAkinG> Hi I have a question, When i tried installing Xubuntu on my system I always get an error saying something like BIOS bug APIO not connected or something
[06:35] <illDecree_> u think im better off waiting to see what the new version brings?
[06:36] <VikDAkinG> Does anyone know how to fix that?
[06:36] <daymoh> doesn't matter... i just reinstalled all the packages i had installed that had "linux-modules" and "linux-image"...
[06:36] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> thats fairly normal setting up a complicated mail server and database authentications..takes a while to get setup
[06:36] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: I got about 90% of the configuration done in roughly 30 minutes.  The other 5 1/2 hours have been trying to get mysql SMTP authentication working
[06:36] <nickrud> illDecree_ yeah, it's gonna be hard to get that running without the 10/100 working. Thats how I set up my laptop wireless, bootstrap with wired
[06:36] <cafuego> thundr3: heh - it 's ok. Pretty old 80GB disk.. and I have a handful of spares here.
[06:36] <VikDAkinG> This is so frustrating lol and I'm running out of CD-R discs dangit
[06:37] <daymoh> vikdaking: what's the exact error message?
[06:37] <illDecree_> the prob is, if i put in a 10/100 pc card, im gonna have the same thing to deal w/ getting that card working... ya know??
[06:38] <VikDAkinG> Uhh idk sorry it goes by to fast
[06:38] <daymoh> in the console? do youhave X installed at all?
[06:38] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> i find it odd that pam module is not mentioned on that link.. now adays most secure systems uses pam modules, and this link does not make a mention of it..
[06:38] <nickrud> illDecree_ no, wired is simple, nearly every card driver is already in the kernel
[06:38] <VikDAkinG> No
[06:38] <daymoh> it's a bit tricky trying to work out what the problem is if you don't have the error message....
[06:38] <VikDAkinG> I am just trying to install it for the first time
[06:38] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: I'm going through one right now which is making mention of pam
[06:38] <daymoh> so press shift + pgup to see what the error messages are
[06:39] <VikDAkinG> and i did the Memtest just fine and when i went into check for CD errors it said i had 1 error. But i ran the installation anyways
[06:39] <VikDAkinG> oh ok thanks daymoh
[06:39] <illDecree_> even a PC card nic?
[06:39] <VikDAkinG> Ill try that and if no luck ill come back
[06:39] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> that link you provided to me didnt seem to indicate pam is mentioned at all..
[06:40] <nickrud> illDecree_ oh, pccard. hm. Nothing like trying :)
[06:40] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> you have a different link you are following?
[06:40] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/postfix
[06:40] <illDecree_> true...
[06:40] <illDecree_> oh well... im gonna give it a rest for the night...
[06:41] <illDecree_> thanks for the help!
[06:41] <nickrud> illDecree_ but you're gonna run into similar issues with any ubuntu install, wireless anyway
[06:41] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> but is that tied in to that wiki tutorial you pasted earlier?
[06:41] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: Not at all
[06:41] <nickrud> illDecree_ and especially with that one since you need to get the firmware for it from somewhere, probably the net
maybe you should search your graphic card manufacturer's page for a driver,compile and install that
[06:41] <illDecree_> yeah....    if i can get the modem and graphics fixed, i would have nothing else to work on   :-D
[06:41] <illDecree_> so, wifi would be the next project
[06:42] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> okay, so this other link you have that mentions pam, you already have implimented or still deciding if you should or not?
[06:43] <yacper>  <illDecree_>:I mean use your current working box to download it,and transfer that to your ubuntu machine
[06:44] <illDecree_> yeah, thats what i have been trying, just transfering everything from the XP box to the linux box w/a flashdrive
[06:44] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: Well, I read a bit past that to the postfix 2.x version and smtp auth with sasl.  The only problem is that when I telnet into localhost and issue a ehlo command, the available auths are all default (250-AUTH=PLAIN NTLM LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5)  The only ones I have configured are sql plain and login.  It acts as if it's not even reading the conf file
[06:45] <salt2> I am noob to linux and have a question.
[06:46] <salt2> how would i start a process in the background, so even if i closed the terminal, it would continue to run? like the "run an application" applet for gnome-panel except in a terminal
[06:46] <noob13> salt, use "screen"
[06:46] <NullName> salt: cron
[06:46] <n2diy> salt2: command &
[06:46] <lukehiker> hello every
[06:46] <daymoh> salt2: stick a '&' at the end
[06:46] <daymoh> salt2: like, "xeyes&"
[06:46] <lukehiker> hello everyone
[06:47] <lukehiker> i am a beginner, and i do have some silly questions to ask
[06:47] <NullName> lukehiker: that's okay
[06:47] <lukehiker> is here anyone free ?
[06:47] <NullName> of course
[06:47] <lukehiker> thank you
[06:47] <noob13> depending on your question :P
[06:47] <salt2> i tried that. what i did was open gnome-terminal and type compiz & . it worked, but when i closed out the terminal, it stopped
[06:47] <NullName> This entire server is free.
[06:47] <lukehiker> all right
[06:48] <arvind_khadri> are there any apps to covert wma to mp3
[06:48] <lukehiker> how to become a super user?
[06:48] <Scunizi> sudo
[06:48] <noob13> sudo su?
[06:48] <lukehiker> sudo -i?
[06:48] <salt2> sudo -s
[06:48] <lukehiker> it really works
[06:48] <salt2> or just su
[06:48] <lukehiker> ok, let me tell you more
[06:48] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> dont know if you have to launch postfix and smtp with special options for it to use sasl ..sorry this is much much deeper than what i have done before
[06:48] <NullName> lukehiker:what distro of linux are you using?
[06:49] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: Alright, well, thank you for your help
[06:49] <lukehiker> i am installing a software, and it promotes that i should become a root first
[06:49] <Starnestommy> lukehiker: run 'sudo program'
[06:49] <Starnestommy> where 'program' is the program's name
[06:49]  * pedrosanta thinks Ubuntu is so so cool!
[06:49] <lukehiker> it:-(
[06:50] <lukehiker> ok, let me try it first
[06:50] <lukehiker> thanks everyone!
[06:50] <JohnM_> NullName, maybe ubuntu?
[06:50] <JohnM_> ;)
[06:50] <pedrosanta> bye lukehiker
[06:50] <NullName> lukehiker: You are usually asked to create a super user password
[06:50] <NullName> when you installing
[06:50] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> anyhow, id clue in myself to pam related topic there, pam-mysql plugin and such..activate a very verbose logging to on your postfix
[06:50] <NullName> with ubuntu your superuser password is the same as your normal user.
[06:52] <lukehiker> NullName
[06:52] <NullName> what up?
[06:52] <lukehiker> I know how to become a super user
[06:52] <NullName> JohnM: LOL sorry I thought I was in another channel..hahah that was a really dumb question.
[06:52] <lukehiker> but the program asked me to log on as a super user
[06:52] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: pam-mysql is for postfix 1.x.  postfix 2.x and libsasl2 have sql support.  The only problem is I just can't get it to actually USE it
[06:52] <lukehiker> is it the same thing?
[06:53] <Symmetria> errr, does anyone have any idea why if I set net.ipv6.bindv6only=1 apache ceases to function on v4 at all
[06:53] <NullName> lukehiker: using sudo is basically the same thing
[06:53] <icechunk> you are only binding to ipv6 addresses I assume...
[06:53] <miyako> Symmetria: just a guess, but I would thing "bindv6only" means that it will only bind to ipv6 addresses
[06:53] <NullName> lukehiker:  Don't worry about logging in as the superuser ever
[06:53] <Starnestommy> Symmetria: because that says 'bind v6 only' with the word 'only' in it
[06:54] <lukehiker> but how to?
[06:54] <NullName> lukehiker:  Just use sudo
[06:54] <Symmetria> errr miyako that is supposed to ensure that v4 cant communicate with v6 sockets
[06:54] <Symmetria> its not supposed to mean that v4 stops working :p
[06:54] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> what is your pwcheck_method: ?
[06:54] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: pwcheck_method: auxprop
[06:54] <lukehiker> i just want to log on as a super user temporarily
[06:54] <miyako> Symmetria: well, I did say it was just a guess, I've no idea really, never done much with ipv6
[06:54] <Symmetria> :)
[06:55]  * Symmetria goes looking
[06:55] <NullName> lukehiker: I think once that I added a root account with ubuntu...but it messed things up
[06:55] <miyako> lukehiker: sudo -i will give you a login shell as root
[06:55] <amenado> tenpaiyomi-> dont know if this should be  pwcheck_method: saslauthd per the http://www.starbridge.org/spip/spip.php?article1
[06:55] <lukehiker> ok, thank you
[06:56] <Symmetria> thing is binding ALL v4 to the v6 sockets for some reason its wierd
[06:56] <lukehiker> you know, i install the software in the terminal shell, but when asked to click the I Agree button, it do not appears
[06:56] <lukehiker> i could not find the button
[06:57] <miyako> lukehiker: gui apps don't play well with sudo sometimes, you might try launching it with gtksudo or gnomesu or kdesu if you're using kde
[06:57] <lukehiker> i am using ubuntu
[06:58] <Symmetria> aha, there we go
[06:58] <Randocal> are driver releases from ATI and Nvidia generally pretty far apart? Or do they release new drivers relatively frequently?
[06:58] <lukehiker> does anyone use ANSYS?
[06:58] <tenpaiyomi> amenado: no change.  And it still shows every single auth option, even though I only have 3 enabled.
[06:59] <Symmetria> root@virtsys:/etc/apache2# netstat -na |grep -c ESTAB
[06:59] <Symmetria> 374
[06:59] <Symmetria> :)
[06:59] <Symmetria> much better
[06:59] <miyako> Randocal: generally beta drivers every 3 or 4 months, and then stable releases ever 4 to 6 months, sometimes sooner; but that's for nvidia's releases, ubuntu seems to be really slow about getting the newest drivers in the repositories
[07:00] <FloodBot3> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[07:00] <Randocal> I used Envy to put in ATI drivers on my system, and it seemed to go well
[07:00] <michael__> any advice for a tv tuner?
[07:00] <RyanPrior> !envy
[07:00] <ubotu> envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[07:00] <Randocal> Just kinda curious how long those drivers are going to be "current"
[07:00] <timsandtoms> How do I burn an .iso?
[07:00] <RyanPrior> Randocal: It's usually better to use the Restricted Drivers manager, which leverages Ubuntu's package system to keep your drivers current.
[07:01] <RyanPrior> timsandtoms: Use the CD burner, but choose to burn to a file rather than a disk.
[07:01] <Randocal> I couldn't get compiz working with the version that was in the repositories
[07:01] <M_dugger> Randocal, which card you using?
[07:01] <RyanPrior> timsandtoms: Unless you mean you have an ISO and you want to burn it to a CD, in which case you right click and select "Open with CD/DVD Creator".
[07:01] <timsandtoms> RyanPrior: Thanks... I actually just realized I could right click it >.> Haha, I remember before I had to come here, and as I didn't remember what was told... I figured I needed help again =]
[07:01] <miyako> Keep in mind that a big cluster-frak between non-repository nvidia drivers, the restricted manager, and failsafe X  is what made me switch away from ubuntu, so I strongly don't recommend installing non-repository drivers under ubuntu
[07:01] <Randocal> X1600 Pro
[07:02] <RyanPrior> timsandtoms: We'll tell you as many times as you need. =D
[07:02] <timsandtoms> RyanPrior: ;) I bet you'll regret saying that, but thanks =]
[07:02] <AdrianStrays> So here is my problem.  Kalarm didn't start automatically on login, so I added it to the start up list.  The only problem is that it opens the window, rather than just starting it up in the tray.  How can I change it so it just starts in the tray, like the network manager, rather than as the physical window
[07:02] <lukehiker> miyako: Which OS are you using now?
[07:02] <miyako> lukehiker: slackware
[07:03] <Randocal> Am I really heading down an ugly path by using Envy to shoehorn newer drivers in? Should I reverse what i've done with Envy and just use the repository drivers?
[07:03] <lukehiker> another linux distribution?
[07:03] <miyako> lukehiker: yeah
[07:03] <RyanPrior> AdrianStrays: read the man page and figure out which option will make it start in the background.
[07:03] <Intangir> how do i make it not show all my mounts on my desktop
[07:03] <Intangir> i even moved it out of the /media directory
[07:03] <lukehiker> what do you usually use it do?
[07:03] <RyanPrior> Intangir: You use gconf-editor.
[07:03] <Intangir> and it sstill showing it
[07:04] <Intangir> RyanPrior: then look where?
[07:04] <AdrianStrays> RyanPrior, huh?
[07:04] <lukehiker> miyako: what do you usually use slackware to do?
[07:04] <RyanPrior> Intangir: Apps -> Nautilus -> Desktop -> volumes_visible
[07:04] <Intangir> RyanPrior: k thx
[07:05] <RyanPrior> AdrianStrays: There ought to be a flag that tells the program to start it the background, and it will be documented in the man pages.
[07:05] <miyako> lukehiker: just normal stuff I suppose, irc, im, web, email, movies, games, code
[07:05] <lukehiker> that's cool
[07:05] <M_dugger> Radocal: ATI sucks, the only way I got any of their stuff to work was by using the open source driver
[07:05] <AdrianStrays> Ryan prior, where are they located?
[07:06] <RyanPrior> AdrianStrays: There's a convenient program for viewing them called "man", which searches for them and displays them. Just open a terminal and type "man kalarm" (without the quotes)
[07:06] <RyanPrior> AdrianStrays: You can then use the up & down keys to scroll, and q to quit back to the terminal.
[07:06] <M_dugger> Anyone have luck with tv tuners in linux? IF so what do you recommend?
[07:07] <Randocal> I'm pretty new to all this, just recently moved from WinXP. Do the open source drivers give pretty good performance? As well, how would I go about installing them?
[07:07] <miyako> M_dugger: Hauppage WinTV cards are well supported (dispite their name)
[07:07] <RyanPrior> M_dugger: you might want to check the MythTV forums, lots of people who use Linux with TV tuners post there.
[07:07] <M_dugger> Haha, that's what I've read elsewhere.
[07:07] <Randocal> I had a geforce fx5700 in this PC, but it's shared between 3 users, and with compiz enabled, we were getting "blank" login screens when switching from one user to another.
[07:07] <Randocal> SO i swapped in this ATI card
[07:08] <RyanPrior> Randocal: Most of the time drivers are pre-installed and you have nothing to do. In the case of non-free drivers (like the proprietary ones for Nvidia cards), there is a Restricted Drivers Manager which finds and installs the correct driver for you.
[07:08] <M_dugger> Rando: They are installed automatically when you install Ubuntu, or should be. It's enabling the ATI ones that's hard. To do it just disable the restricted ones
[07:09] <RyanPrior> Randocal: The open source drivers for graphics cards do not give good performance, but some of them provide some acceleration on some cards.
[07:09] <M_dugger> Randocal, that's because X doesn't like loading 2 instances at the same time. Mine at home has no trouble but it varies. In general nVidia is way better
[07:09] <Randocal> RyanPrior: So the open source driver is simply the default driver that is installed and running before I selected to install the restricted driver.
[07:10] <AdrianStrays> RyanPrior, none of these options seem to be the one I'm looking for. The only one that is close is "display system tray icon"
[07:10] <M_dugger> yes
[07:10] <RyanPrior> Randocal: either it's the open source driver, or it's no driver, before you install the proprietary one.
[07:10] <M_dugger> it's the open source
[07:10] <RyanPrior> Randocal: The proprietary drivers are unfortunately required for gaming and decent 3D acceleration ATM.
[07:11] <RyanPrior> AdrianStrays: I would look myself, but I don't have any KDE apps.
[07:11] <Randocal> I would like to have compiz enabled, and have the ability to switch between users without hitting that blank window bug, I've been happy with Nvidia for a long while (as a WinXP user) and wouldn't mind staying with them, but their driver was giving me troubles
[07:11] <M_dugger> yes, that's why I prefer nvidia because they support linux. What sort of FPS do you get running GLXGEARS on the restricted vs. open source?
[07:12] <gogeta> M_dugger ati does now to but its kinda new
[07:12] <decay> where do i go to set the short cut to make the window roll up to the title bar?
[07:12] <gogeta> M_dugger when amd bought it they promised better linux support
[07:12] <miyako> when it comes to linux video card support, you can't beat intel
[07:12] <Randocal> Are you guys familiar with this blank login page bug that I"m describing? Is that something that is prone to only a few specific Nvidia cards?
[07:12] <miyako> their cards are kinda crappy, but are plenty for running compiz and older games
[07:12] <AdrianStrays> !pastebin
[07:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[07:13] <gogeta> miyako to bad intels suck
[07:13] <bobby> hello ! i have a problem : the first time I press the shutdown shortcut, the screen freezes and the window opens with a delay of 15-20 seconds ! any idea on how to fix this?
[07:13] <M_dugger> I know that as well, they kinda shuffled their feet for awhile and a $50 purchase of an nvidia one was so much easier
[07:13] <M_dugger> Rando, were u using the restricted when this bug happened?
[07:13] <M_dugger> how is ATI's support now?
[07:13] <Randocal> M_dugger: yes, i was
[07:14] <gogeta> M_dugge my 9200 oss drivers rock
[07:14] <RyanPrior> AdrianStrays: I found the man page and looked at it, it really looks like the flag which makes it start in the background isn't documented.
[07:14] <undefined> hello
[07:14] <undefined> ga
[07:14] <Idanbd> hello :P
[07:14] <M_dugger> I'm not sure then, one way would be to set up something to kill compiz on one user before logging out. I'm not expert but search google for it and you will find tons of info
[07:14] <AdrianStrays> RyanPrior, thanks for looking that up. Do you have any idea what I should do then? Is there another channel I might be able to check?
[07:15] <Idanbd> I have an issue with Hardy Beta
[07:15] <Randocal> I went directly from whatever Ubuntu installed with to the restricted drivers. With the "default" driver, I wasn't even able to select the native resolution of my LCD if I recall correctly.
[07:15] <gogeta>  M_dugge the command compiz-replace would do the trick there
[07:15] <RyanPrior> AdrianStrays: You could check in a KDE channel, or in #kubuntu
[07:15] <gogeta>  M_dugge swap it out back to 2d
[07:16] <Randocal> Always disabling compiz before logging out isn't a very good option for me, it will very frequently be forgotten, and the other 2 users are relatively novice, so the extra steps won't go over well.
[07:16] <Idanbd> This didn't happen in Gutsy: after restarting, when trying to switch keyboard layout (from USA to Isr) the keyboard binding just don't work. I have to go into the keyboard layout preferences each time and re-check the binding options
[07:16] <gogeta> Randoca you add the script on logout
[07:16] <gogeta> Randoca automate it
[07:17] <Idanbd> note that the binding are checked, but i have to re-check them
[07:17] <Idanbd> any ideas?
[07:17] <RyanPrior> Randocal: Compiz is screwy with my system as well, so I use compositing Metacity instead. Perhaps that would work for you?
[07:17] <gogeta> Randoca you can also not use compiz lol
[07:18] <Randocal> I've never heard/read anything about compisiting metacity, how similar are the effects?
[07:18] <Randocal> Yeah, disabling compiz is an option, but as a new convert to Linux, the "wow factor" of compiz is pretty nice
[07:18] <M_dugger> yes, compiz is screwy. The idea is that you automate the logout script and put it in effect for everything. Which nvidia card?
[07:18] <gogeta> Randoca it gets old
[07:19] <Idanbd> compiz could use some anti-aliasing too :/
[07:19] <RyanPrior> Randocal: You get previews of windows in alt+tab, window drop shadows, fade in/out on minimize, that's about it.
[07:19] <gogeta> Randoca being im running a 128gb card wile runs it well can lag if i tax on other 3d apps
[07:19] <gogeta> Randoca so u turn mine off
[07:19] <gogeta> i
[07:19] <Idanbd> anyone knows anything about my issue above?
[07:19] <phae> anyone can lead me to how i can boot an iso image from a flash drive
[07:19] <gogeta> mb
[07:19] <phae> ?
[07:19] <gogeta> lol
[07:19] <phae> or perhaps a separate partition?
[07:20] <Randocal> M_dugger: I have an Fx5700 but it's not installed right now, I have an ATI X1600 in this system at the moment
[07:20] <gogeta> phae burn iso on a cdr
[07:20] <gogeta> :)
[07:20] <nxusr> phae is that possible?
[07:20] <ltcabral> anyone knows how can i finish a bind() connection?? i tried EVERYTHING and it still says the address im using to connect client/server is in use!!!
[07:20] <phae> i'm pretty sure it is
[07:21] <gogeta> phae www.pendrivelinux.com
[07:21] <nxusr> boos iso?
[07:21] <RyanPrior> ltcabral: Perhaps a question for ##linux
[07:21] <gogeta> lots of guids on that
[07:21] <Idanbd> so does anyone have any idea why keyboard layout switching fails after a restart under hardy?
[07:21] <nxusr>   boot*
[07:21] <icesword> once you have grub>.you can do everything
[07:21] <phae> i was just there, but i think i accidentally closed it out, now that i remember...
[07:21] <Starnestommy> ltcabral: kill the process that's using the socket that already bound it
[07:21] <phae> thanks!
[07:22] <Idanbd> well i guess noone has any ideas :/
[07:22] <Starnestommy> s/already bound it/bound it/
[07:22] <Idanbd> maybe it'll fix in the next distro
[07:22] <pajamian> phae: there's loads of guides for installing a bootable live ubuntu on a flash drive, google is your friend.
[07:22] <phae> ah, yeah, no, i was talking about a specific iso that i have
[07:22] <M_dugger> hmm.. I have an fx5500 in my desktop right now and it shows no problems with Fedora 8 on it. It was pretty much plug and play for me, sorry you're having trouble.
[07:23] <phae> it's not linux, see
[07:23] <gogeta> phae i gave him the site aruldy lol
[07:23] <gogeta> phae not linux?
[07:23] <phae> no, i meant, pendrivelinux is to install linux on a flash drive
[07:23] <M_dugger> Good news is, I believe the next xServer is supposed to be fixed so that Compiz doesn't break your machine.
[07:23] <gogeta> phae thers guids on botting a iso as well
[07:24] <phae> there is?, maybe i should look harder..
[07:24] <gogeta> phae booting lol
[07:24] <ltcabral> Starnestommy: tried... even restarting computer and connection didnt work
[07:24] <bullgard4> Kaffeine offers 5 operating modes. But an option is missing to view DVB-T. How to configure Kaffeine so that it offers me that option too?
[07:24] <RyanPrior> M_dugger: haha. Always fixes in the pipeline.
[07:24] <Starnestommy> ltcabral: try changing the port
[07:24] <phae> and this would be for ANY bootable iso?
[07:24] <nxusr> phae, i don't know how an iso would be bootable
[07:24] <RyanPrior> bullgard4: Probably a question for #kubuntu - we mostly use Gnome apps in here.
[07:24] <phae> it's an OS installation iso
[07:25] <M_dugger> of course, WAY upstream!
[07:25] <bullgard4> RyanPrior: Do you know about what you are talking?
[07:25] <gogeta> phae its something along the lines of just extracting the iso on the drive and making it bootable
[07:25] <Idanbd> phae i think you would want to burn the iso using a burning application
[07:25] <Idanbd> and i think it'll already be bootable by default
[07:25] <phae> it's dvd-size, but i have no way of getting to a dvd+r right now
[07:25] <pajamian> phae: if you get grub on the stick then you can set up a menu item to boot to any image file, look at how memtest86 boots for an example.
[07:26] <VikDAkinG> omg i dont understand this BIOS..
[07:26] <RyanPrior> bullgard4: If you get somebody in here who nkows about Kaffeine, that will be fine - but I'm warning you that people who focus on KDE tend to hang out in #kubuntu more than this channel.
[07:26] <VikDAkinG> My BIOS seems differnt than everyone elses
[07:26] <Idanbd> VikDAKinG: then don't touch it XD
[07:26] <gogeta> pajamian hes talking abought a direct boot no grub
[07:26] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: What motherboard?
[07:26] <phae> i wouldn't mind using grub
[07:26] <VikDAkinG> I need to because else i keep getting this error, and on ubuntu forums it says i need to do something in BIOS to fix it
[07:27] <phae> i just had doubts, however, because
[07:27] <VikDAkinG> umm well I have a pheonix BIOS
[07:27] <gogeta> phae the guide on embedded dsl would work on any iso
[07:27] <VikDAkinG> phoenix*
[07:27] <phae> then wouldn't i need to point to the kernel of the OS?
[07:27] <phae> oh ok
[07:27] <bullgard4> RyanPrior: Right. Thank you.
[07:27] <gogeta> phae all your doing in that guide is extracting the iso and making the drive bootable
[07:28] <phae> alright... and this would work for non-linux OS's as well?
[07:28] <RyanPrior> phae: Perhaps, but it's mostly designed for this particular Linux boot mechanism.
[07:28] <Idanbd> how would i go to find what all key-binding do? like a full list of the commands
[07:28] <phae> i mean, i'll do it ON linux, but the OS of the iso is not linux
[07:28] <VikDAkinG> But I just dont see where ACPI Configuration is inside Advanced Menu
[07:28] <pajamian> phae: you can boot any "bootable" image using grub.
[07:28] <gogeta> phae as long as the drives partation is flaged as bootable i dont see why not
[07:28] <marlun> Is it possible to access you mobile phone (nokia) on ubuntu? I've put it into an USB but nothing happend.
[07:28] <phae> ok
[07:29] <gogeta> worst case it failes lol
[07:29] <VikDAkinG> Is it possible that I dont have full access to the BIOS or something?
[07:29] <phae> i think i have enough leads to keep me entertained, lol
[07:29] <RyanPrior> !nokia | marlun
[07:29] <ubotu> marlun: Guides for smartphones and portable devices can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/
[07:29] <phae> thanks
[07:29] <marlun> RyanPrior: thanks
[07:29] <Idanbd> marlun try looking for a driver, otherwise it's a slim chance
[07:30] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: It would help if you would let us in on either your motherboard manufacturer or your PC Manufacturer
[07:30] <pajamian> phaedru1: just look at a regular menu.lst file and see the lines where it sets up the menu entry for memtest86.  I'm not positive, but I think if you use those lines modified with the drive and path to the bootable iso image it should just fire off whatever is on the iso.
[07:30] <VikDAkinG> Ok, my PC is by Compaq
[07:30] <pajamian> heh, nm, then
[07:30] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: Model?
[07:30] <pajamian> VikDAkinG: Compaq is just wierd.
[07:30] <VikDAkinG> my BIOS Supplier is Phoenix BIOS
[07:30] <VikDAkinG> presario
[07:31] <VikDAkinG> Is that what you wanted to know?
[07:31] <VikDAkinG> I even went into the BIOS menu but problem is I dont see the same menus and stuff they tell me to tweak
[07:32] <VikDAkinG> seems like noone else is having this problem so either im doing something wrong or IDK lol
[07:32] <pajamian> VikDAkinG: I've installed ubuntu onto one or two presarios, I don't recall having to tweak any of the bios settings to do so.
[07:33] <VikDAkinG> I need to disable ACPI for HPET support
[07:33] <blag> gutsy is letting me read past the end of an array: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63000/  (password is "student")   before segfaulting.   Is this bad?
[07:33] <VikDAkinG> because i was getting an error and the forums says that is how you fix it
[07:34] <VikDAkinG> But i cant find anywhere that says anything about ACPI or such
[07:34] <pajamian> VikDAkinG: sorry, I don't know about that, I've simply installed it and it worked.  I don't have a presario here so I can't tell you where to look either.
[07:34] <Cpudan80> blag: that isn't gutsy's fault
[07:34] <ltcabral> Starnestommy, changing the port allows the client to connect to the server, but the server wont receive any message from the client. That was not happening before either
[07:34] <blag> Cpudan80: ?
[07:35] <VikDAkinG> oh ok dangit. thanks anyways
[07:35] <Cpudan80> blag: When you do bad things in Java, Java slaps your hand
[07:35] <Cpudan80> When you do bad things in perl, perl fixes it and gives you some nice hot chocolates
[07:35] <M_dugger> when you do bad things in java, java slaps your computer
[07:35] <VikDAkinG> The main problem is i dont freaking know how to reload winXP either.. i seriously think im doing something wrong
[07:35] <Cpudan80> When you do bad things in C/C++
[07:35] <VikDAkinG> Is it possible to have limited access to your BIOS?
[07:35] <blag> i think when you do anything in java, java slaps your computer
[07:35] <Cpudan80> C/C++ says "Oh my god - I hope he knows what he is doing"
[07:36] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: What is the Model number of your presario
[07:36] <VikDAkinG> umm gimme 1 sec
[07:36] <pajamian> VikDAkinG: anything is possible, also there were lots of different computers under the "presario" name.
[07:36] <blag> Cpudan80: Okay, but shouldn't the memory space of a different program be protected from being read by my program?
[07:37] <Cpudan80> blag: Nope
[07:37] <VikDAkinG> presario M2000
[07:37] <si_> ruxcon.org.au
[07:37] <si_> oops
[07:37] <Cpudan80> blag: Stack-smashing/buffer attacks rely on this fact
[07:38] <blag> Cpudan80: right, so why doesn't the OS disallow it?
[07:38] <Cpudan80> because that's not the OS job blag
[07:39] <Cpudan80> blag: normally you wouldn't program the thing to access memory you havent worked with
[07:39] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: What is the error that you are getting?
[07:40] <Cpudan80> blag: this is why you have to be especially careful when reading in data from the user
[07:40] <VikDAkinG> MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[07:40] <VikDAkinG> Its on the ubuntu forums aswell alot of people seem to have that error
[07:40] <iMac600> hmm, anyone know how to change the user's screen resolution from a terminal command?
[07:40] <iMac600> simple q, really.
[07:40] <blag> Cpudan80: true, but I reading in command line flags, and if somebody enters in "-vvf", i want to parse both v's and the f into variables in my program
[07:40] <VikDAkinG> but i cant find anything like what they ask to change in my computer's BIOS
[07:40] <c0Ld> I've got a nifty DVD player for WinXP that'll play videos fullscreen but transparent so that I can continue working. Are there any Totem plugins or alternative players with similar functionality?
[07:40] <pajamian> iMac600: xrandr -s 800x600
[07:41] <iMac600> thank you
[07:41] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: From what I read, your BIOS is not ACPI compliant
[07:41] <halhorn11> Can anyone help me with a strange wired network issue?
[07:41] <VikDAkinG> really? o..
[07:41] <VikDAkinG> then wtf does that mean
[07:41] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: And the recommendation is to append "noacpi" in the Grub entry
[07:41] <Cpudan80> blag: ok.... so you just do a string comparison
[07:42] <freezerburn> Hey guys I'm trying to update gnash from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2 by downloading it from here http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnash/0.8.2/ problem is I've only installed things by using apt-get in the past so I don't know what to do with these files.  If someone could guide me step for step I'd appreciate and learn from it
[07:42] <VikDAkinG> sorry can you explain that please
[07:42] <VikDAkinG> :\
[07:42] <lonejack> I've a problem with a web cam. I know that for somebody that web cam work fine over ubuntu but not for me. is there a developer so kind to help me to understand why? On my pc I obtain a behavior (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4700766#post4700766) on the other we have another(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4704344#post4704344). please, can someone help me? Thank you, lonejack
[07:42] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: sec
[07:42] <blag> Cpudan80: but then I have to think of every possible combination of strings that can be entered... and not just parse options individually...
[07:42] <pajamian> freezerburn: why do you want to update gnash that way?  why not just wait for the new version from the repos?
[07:42] <VikDAkinG> ok sure
[07:42] <blag> Cpudan80: is that how its normally done then?
[07:43] <Cpudan80> blag: C gives you an argv array and an argc value (length of the argv array)
[07:43] <Cpudan80> blag: just run through the argv array and do a string comparison on the thing to see if it is vvf or whatever
[07:44] <iMac600> ok... and how would one boot it directly into say, a text mode console
[07:44] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: Have you tried the suggestions on this thread?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191355
[07:44] <iMac600> since it's stuck in 320x240 for some reason now, I can't use the GUI.
[07:44] <freezerburn> pajamian: well some of my ppc repos seem to be broken and I don't know if that's cause I'm running ubuntu on a ps3 or what other issues.  The gnash I have installed has some bugs in it but the new release has the fix so I can view flash videos on youtube with a proper nav bar cause mine is currently scrambled with buttons on top of buttons.
[07:45] <t1n0m3n> VikDAkinG: Specifically post #3
[07:45] <pajamian> iMac600: you can get a text console with Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can switch back to the GUI interface with Ctrl-Alt-F7
[07:45] <blag> Cpudan80: right, but they could also enter "vfv" or "fvv" and I would want it to do the same thing.  if I'm understanding you correctly, as the number of flags increases, the total number of permutations increases as well, and i would have to make cases for all permutations.
[07:45] <iMac600> ahh, I see
[07:46] <iMac600> ok... xrandr -s 800x600
[07:46] <iMac600> "can't open display"
[07:46] <pajamian> iMac600: or whatever res you want in place of 800x600
[07:46] <blag> blag: i hope i'm making sense.
[07:47] <iMac600> and sudo doesn't seem to help there
[07:47] <Cpudan80> blag: You're designing the program -- so why not just do
[07:47] <pajamian> iMac600: no, it won't because you're in a text console.
[07:47] <Cpudan80> ./executable -v -v -f or something
[07:47] <Cpudan80> don't do -vvf
[07:47] <halhorn11> Can anyone help me with a weird wired network issue? I can get a dhcp address from my router with dhclient, but cannot use the net (firefox, torrents), cannot ping google, cannot even ping the router.
[07:47] <Cpudan80> just make single letter args
[07:47] <pajamian> iMac600: you can edit your xorg.conf file from the text console and fix it, though.
[07:48] <Cpudan80> avoid the -vvf thing
[07:48] <blag> Cpudan80: i guess ill have to, but it just kind of bugs me that i cant combine arguments then...
[07:49] <Cpudan80> blag: normally programs which accept multi char args (ex. tar -czvf) treat each character as a specific flag
[07:49] <halhorn11> When in roaming mode, the connection info given by rightclicking the network manager tray icon seems all normal. When set to DHCP mode, no result at all
[07:49] <Cpudan80> blag: maybe you can do that too somehow?
[07:49] <iMac600> may have found something on the forums
[07:49] <iMac600> ah, I see
[07:50] <iMac600> or not. Ah well. *edits Xorg.conf*

[07:51] <pajamian> iMac600: there's also a command you can use to reset the xorg.conf to the default, I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone here can probably tell you.
[07:51] <iMac600> I see
[07:52] <pajamian> iMac600: you may also find a backup xorg.conf that will work with older settings (read, before you messed them up)
[07:52] <iMac600> well, I haven't edited anything yet, it just booted to 320x240.
[07:52] <starscalling> hey

[07:55] <pajamian> !iptables | buzzsaw
[07:55] <ubotu> buzzsaw: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
