[17:11] <cube> nicodarious: i have a asus 4x4 with 2 fx74 cpus and 2 nvidia 8600gt
[17:11] <mutew> I am looking to increase the virtual terminal resolution in Ubuntu ..
[17:11] <kindofabuzz> Pelo: you shouldn't trust everything you read on the web anyways
[17:11] <cube> i think i have seen that error in my log too
[17:12] <JoeLinux117> @ai3gtmc:  No prob, glad to help!
[17:12] <ai3gtmc> :)
[17:12] <kindofabuzz> just because it's written down doesn't mean its true
[17:12] <nicodarious> cube, seems we have the same vid cards.  I have two XFX 8600GTs also.
[17:12] <MrBumblebee> the pirate bay's april fools is great
[17:12] <mutew> But when I set vga=788 in my menu.lst file the splash screen seems to go crazy..
[17:12] <Pelo> kindofabuzz, I don't trust "everything" I read on the web but today I can'T trust "anything" it's rather annoying
[17:12] <rycole> hmm. still grabbing 1.3.1. weird.
[17:12] <cube> you should pastebin your xorg.conf
[17:12] <OsamaK> What's the best way to install KDE4 on Ubuntu 8.04? (I think this is public, unneeded to #ubuntu+1 :) )
[17:12]  * Pelo realy wonders if the "cheese" thing is true or not
[17:13] <mutew> Though X boots perfectly, none of the virtual terminals now display.
[17:13] <JoeLinux117> @mutew:  Have you tried vga=791?
[17:13] <bazhang> #kubuntu-kde4 can help OsamaK
[17:13] <JoeLinux117> @mutew:  I believe that's equivalent to 1024x768
[17:13] <Keigo-kun> I want to uninstall ubuntu-desktop so I have only CLI. I tried apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, and it removed a 47kb big file.. how do I get rid of the rest?
[17:13] <nicodarious> cube, ok.  I'll do that for you real quick.  or would it be easier if i just /msg you with it?
[17:13] <mutew> JoeLinux117, yes but it results in the same thing.
[17:13] <OsamaK> bazhang: but this is Ubuntu, not KUbuntu..
[17:13] <mutew> JoeLinux117, a blank screen with a flashing cursor.
[17:13] <cube> that would be a long message
[17:13] <gabi> sziasztok
[17:14] <bazhang> OsamaK: you want instructions? they will know--that's how I got them
[17:14] <nicodarious> cube, ok.  I'll figure out how to pastebin then.  never used it before, but i'll go to the site real quick and see what it's all about.
[17:14] <mutew> The native resolution of my laptop is 1280x800 - I hope there's no conflict due to that.
[17:14] <JoeLinux117> @mutew:  This may be a dumb question, but does the kernel line contain "quiet" and/or "splash"?
[17:14] <OsamaK> ok, thx
[17:14] <mutew> JoeLinux117, contains both.
[17:14] <Moduliz0r> is there a channel for ez-ipupdate on freenode?
[17:14] <kelvin911> i have 7600 GT and quake4 is still not that great
[17:15] <cube> u play q4 on linux?
[17:15] <kelvin911> no in windows
[17:15] <cube> oh
[17:15] <uplinked> Hi- Before Hardy, FGLRX/compiz worked fine, but now, glxgears & compiz use 100% cpu. Anyone know a solution for this?
[17:15] <Lamego> Keigo-kun,  apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | grep "Depends" | cut -d":" -f2 | tr -d "," | xargs -n1 sudo apt-get remove -y
[17:15] <viru0> Does everyone interested in GUI for SciPy? (I'm means: guys)
[17:15] <kelvin911> i may try linux later
[17:15] <Lamego> !hardy > uplinked
[17:15] <Keigo-kun> Lamego: Jesus, how am I supposed to remember all that
[17:15] <nicodarious> cube, yeah, on my laptop, but I haven't installed it on my new desktop yet.
[17:16] <uplinked> Thanks Lamego
 Drivers for you video-not good!
[17:16] <swani> hi
[17:16] <soundray> Lamego: are you aware of "apt-cache depends packagename"
[17:16] <viru0> hi
[17:16] <Lamego> Keigo-kun, you are supposed to understand, if you want to become familiar with unix/linux command line, or you are not, and you should reinstall a minimal system instead :)
[17:16] <soundray> ?

[17:19] <nicodarious> cube, did you get it by any chance?  I don't know why I got the tearing.  But it's gotten slightly better when I turned on AFR instead of it just being in auto.
[17:19] <balle> last time i used the drivers for my graphics card an nvidie 6600 go i think, it totally messed up the screen, but i would like the visual enhancements and the use of another screen, so is there a safe way to enable the restricted drivers? or do an back up, from the GRUB

[17:22] <stond> nicodariousdo you have a PS3
[17:23] <jpatrick> hmm
[17:23] <nicodarious> stond, yeah, I bought it back when I first went to Iraq.
[17:23] <free1> soundray: my bad.  I'm done.  FORZA ITALIA!
[17:23] <nicodarious> stond, it's the older model though.
[17:23] <ToroT> Anyone knows how to configure nagios with NSClient agent to monitor windows servers ?
[17:23] <nicodarious> stond, 1st or 2nd gen type.
[17:23] <sipior> murlidhar: that's what it would do. or perhaps i misunderstood you? you mean that you don't want the apps to restart automatically, but you want the window positions saved when you do open them?
[17:23] <delfino> free
[17:23] <stond> nicodarious what model is it
[17:23] <delfino> you speek italian?
[17:24] <bazhang> delfino please stop
[17:24] <nicodarious> stond,  is there any way to tell?  by model number or something?
[17:24] <jpatrick> delfino: please /join #ubuntu-it
[17:24] <sipior> murlidhar: you might try installing "devilspie", that might be closer to what you want
[17:24] <murlidhar> sipior, yes i want the window positions saved when i open them
[17:25] <stond> nicodarious how many GIGS is it 60 or 20 or 40 or 80
[17:25] <kelvin911> i will say doom3 is better than quake4
[17:25] <cube> ut3 is best
[17:25] <PriceChild> !it | delfino
[17:25] <bazhang> kelvin911: that is offtopic here thanks
[17:26] <nicodarious> stond, 60 gig
[17:26] <DrHala1> just plugged a new hd into my computer what do i have to do now so i can mount it... is there a way to embed it into my sys?
[17:26] <jpatrick> PriceChild: bot dead, I told him how to tho :)
[17:26] <sipior> strange day on #ubuntu
[17:26] <nicodarious> stond, looking for a model number on it now.
[17:26] <bazhang> as did I
[17:26] <stond> that is the same model I have
[17:26] <kelvin911> cube: but i think et is still the best
[17:26] <murlidhar> sipior, how to use devilspie
[17:26] <sipior> murlidhar: you'll have to install it and consult the documentation. i'm afraid i don't use it myself.
[17:26] <cube> drHala: did your bios detect it on boot?
[17:26] <DrHala1> ah didnt look for that :S
[17:27] <soundray> DrHala1: you should partition and format it with gparted. Then you can edit fstab to mount the new partitions
[17:27] <cube> all my filesystems if detected in bios will automatic mount in ubuntu so i don't know then
[17:27] <murlidhar> sipior, ok thanks i will try to figure it out
[17:27] <stond> nicodarious would you like to install linux on your PS3
[17:27] <kindofabuzz> murlidhar: you use compiz?
[17:27] <sipior> murlidhar: from my recollection, the idea is that you specify an expression to identify windows (based upon title, &cet.), and then specify the parameters you want those windows to have
[17:28] <murlidhar> kindofabuzz, yes
[17:28] <Keigo-kun> Lamego: Thanks, your command seems to work. I understand what the command does, I just don't understand all the arguments etc
[17:28] <nicodarious> stond, i'm thinking about it.  It's not doing as much as I had hoped as far as gimeing for my wife.  She still likes her gamecube (blah).  so might as well put it to work.
[17:28] <DrHala1> soundray, is there a way to implent some kind of software raid or can my home dir to that partition?
[17:29] <murlidhar> kindofabuzz, can i use compiz to remember my window positions? :)
[17:29] <kindofabuzz> murlidhar: open up your compiz sttings, find the plugin window placement and play around with that
[17:29] <kelvin911> how to make new open window not sticking to the bottom of the screen?
[17:29] <Kliment> I did the upgrade and it actually broke very little :)
[17:30] <Vixen> I'm just about to install ubutnu, and I need a hand with the "mount points" section. What mount points are essential in the installation?
[17:30] <MrBumblebee> root
[17:30] <Kliment> but I lost samba functionality, which is a bit of a killer for me
[17:30] <MrBumblebee> swap is helpful
[17:30] <sipior> Vixen: / is the only necessary one. /home and /boot are popular, though
[17:30] <Keigo-kun> Vixen: root and swap. It might be a good idea to have /Home aswell
[17:30] <soundray> DrHala1: you can set up software RAID in principle, but I would advise against it. Sure, you can transfer your home to the new disk -- use Alan Cox's tar tip from the Tips HOWTO to transfer, then update fstab and reboot.
[17:30] <nicodarious> stond, man, I have looked all over this thing.  all I can find is a dern serial number.
[17:30] <Kliment> any idea how to start troubleshooting this?
[17:31] <stond> its ok I mean there is some stuff you can do and some stuff you cant do I suggest you try going to www.PSUBUNTU.com and read up on it before if you want at least that is what i did and since I do not have a PC a went ahed and did it until I get one
[17:31] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  You want /, and you want a swap partition.  And, as an optional benefit, you may want to keep /home as a separate partition as well (this would be the largest one, usually).
[17:31] <kelvin911> window stick to the bottom of the screen is annoying when using AWN
[17:31] <Vixen> Thanks, I have a 3gb swap prepared, and a 5gb space for the OS itself, I have 200gb for where I think the /home will ygo
[17:31] <Vixen> Thank you everyone
[17:31] <DrHala1> soundray: may i ask what the problem is with a software raid?
[17:31] <Keigo-kun> Vixen: Sounds like a good setup
[17:31] <kindofabuzz> murlidhar: did you find it?
[17:31] <nicodarious> stond.  thanks for the site.  I'll check it out!
[17:31] <soundray> DrHala1: yes you may ;)
[17:31] <kelvin911> 5GB for OS is enough?
[17:32] <Vixen> So I would put the root as the 5gb?
[17:32] <Keigo-kun> kelvin911: Depends on what aps you use I guess
[17:32] <kindofabuzz> kelvin911: yeah until you start adding stuff
[17:32] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  Yes.
[17:32] <kelvin911> i already using about 12 GB
[17:32] <szandi> denisz555
[17:32] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, would it be better to use more?
[17:32] <soundray> DrHala1: it doesn't have any significant advantages for most people, other than being educational.
[17:32] <kelvin911> just install ubuntu a week ago
[17:32] <fantaman> hello
[17:32] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  However, I would probably increase that a little more.  Seems like you have 200GB to give to /home, I would at least give / some 10GB or so.
[17:33] <szandi> lol
[17:33] <jaffarkelshac> has anyone used seahorse
[17:33] <kelvin911> i would say 100 GB
[17:33] <jaffarkelshac> the pgp package
[17:33] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  That's just my opinion, remember that third-party applications are usually installed in /usr, which will be part of the / partition unless you have partitioned it separately.
[17:33] <DrHala1> soundray: well i dont have to move folders manually thats the advantage
[17:33] <fantaman> you know an italian server irc for ubuntu?
[17:33] <Keigo-kun> Vixen: Ubuntu usually installs programs in / it seems, 5GB might be a bit weak
[17:33] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, what would be the max you would give it? I have about 400 gb to play with
[17:33] <stond> nicodarious the number of gigs is how you tell wha model you see at first ther wher two models the 20GB and the 60GB model now there is the 80GB and the 40GB model
[17:33] <soundray> DrHala1: in that case what you want is not RAID, but LVM
[17:33] <bazhang> #ubuntu-it is here on freenode fantaman
[17:33] <Vixen> I'm completely new, if you hadn't guessed  |D
[17:33] <szandi> ez meg micsoda?:D
[17:33] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  Wow, well hey, give it about 15 or 20 if you like, it really depends on what you plan on using the system for.
[17:34] <soundray> DrHala1: although the two can be combined
[17:34] <DrHala1> Keigo-kun: what do you mean everything (every drive etc) is in /
[17:34] <fantaman> tnx
[17:34] <szandi> nah puszpááás
[17:34] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  I have 10GB allocated for / on my system, and it's been fine for a few years now.  About 100GB for /home as well, on my system.
[17:34] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, I plan on using it as an all-round games, work, music makin', tune-storing love box
[17:34] <Kliment> anybody else having samba problems since upgrading?
[17:34] <askand> Whats up with the forums? some kind of apriljoke? Btw, very fun with the fish in the panel :-D
[17:34] <nicodarious> stond, ahh. I see.  so the 60 GB is the 1st gen I take it?
[17:34] <bazhang> english please szandl
[17:35] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  I'm at about 81% right now on /, so maybe you want to give it a little more.  Sounds like you have plenty, so go ahead and give it about 20GB.
[17:35] <soundray> Kliment: please ask in #ubuntu+1 if you're on hardy
[17:35] <Kliment> soundray: thanks, will do
[17:35] <nicodarious> stond, btw, how powerful is the Cell porcessor, since you can only use one core for Other OSes?
[17:35] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, Ok, will do. Also, do I have the opportunity to install apps in other partitions when that 20gb's full? (If ever)
[17:36] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  Technically, you can install apps in any partition you like... the complicated part is making sure that your libraries are probably mapped, among other things.
[17:37] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, And with me being new to this, I won't go that far  ;]
[17:37] <Vixen> Thanks for all the help
[17:37] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  Honestly, it sounds like you have plenty of space, if you're worried about it, give it 30 or 40.
[17:37] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  But if you've got a separate /home partition, that's always a good thing.
[17:37] <soundray> Vixen: if your root partition runs full, what you normally do is to move a branch, e.g. /var/, to another partition to gain space
[17:38] <ToroT> Where can I get help with configuring Nagios ?
[17:38] <stond> nicodarious I am not sure since I dont know that much about it I do know If I had to say its ok but not the greatest but it is better than nonthing I guess
[17:38] <Vixen> soundray, Ok, thanks, I'll be makng a huge root first ;]
[17:38] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, I'll be keeping a seperate /home on hischild's advice
[17:38] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, Thanks for the help, I'm off to install the thing
[17:39] <soundray> Vixen: I doubt that you'll ever fill up 20GB. I second the advice on separating /home
[17:39] <PurpZeY> How can I determine what drive is mounted at sdb1?
[17:39] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  Good luck!
[17:39] <soundray> PurpZeY: mount | grep sdb1
[17:39] <Vixen> soundray, Cheers, I'm off to do it now

[17:41] <wildman> sipior, ex: grub-install /dev/sdb ?
[17:42] <alex101> :/
[17:42] <wildman> sipior, for the '2nd' SATA disk
[17:42] <alex101> Hmm, is there anyone who could please help me with something?
[17:42] <insomninja> I try to bind a key to meta+1 with the xmodmap line "keycode 245 = Super_L 1" but it wont work. Any ideas?
[17:42] <alex101> I'll greatly appreciate it if you can.
[17:42] <soundray> wildman: you will need the --root-directory option to point to the new root. man grub-install
[17:42] <wildman> soundray, ok, thx.
[17:42] <sipior> wildman: usually that's fine. might want to look at the --root-directory option, depending upon your setup.
[17:43] <sipior> hmm...need to type faster, clearly.
[17:43] <porthose> alex101: don't ask to ask just ask
[17:43] <soundray> alex101: we won't know whether or not we can until you ask your question
[17:43] <bazhang> !ask
[17:43] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[17:43] <bazhang> yay!
[17:43] <wildman> sipior, thx ;-) (at least you told me the same :P)
[17:43] <soundray> !yay
[17:43] <ubotu> Glad you made it! :-)
[17:43] <alex101> Well i've never used the irc channel before so i dont know
[17:43] <alex101> b ut thanks :)
[17:43] <nicodarious> stond, cool!  well, I'll try it out after I have read and have made a decision on what I would like to install.  I have heard word that plugging in Puppy Linux USB stick or a DSL stick works, but I have been reluctant to do such a thing.
[17:43] <alex101> I need to know how to install files such as, .tar.bz files, i thinks that what they are.

[17:44] <soundray> alex101: avoid it when you can. Ubuntu provides most software through a package manager. Read ubotu's private message...
[17:44] <soundray> !software > alex101
[17:45] <alex101> Thanks soundray, but i really need to know how to install them.
[17:45] <bazhang> alex101: themes?
[17:45] <wenton> i am trying to compile ndiswrapper from source on to a computer that doesn't have internet connection, is there a way for this to be done.
[17:45] <soundray> alex101: why, what are they?
[17:46] <wildman> soundray, sipior: thx again! I'll try now, wish me luck ;)
[17:46] <chri1> why does my pidgin menu dissapear
[17:46] <wildman> bye ppl
[17:46] <chri1> I click pidgin and it says loading then it dissappears
[17:46] <alex101> I cant remember what i last tried installing, soundray.
[17:46] <DrHala1> soundray, but ive to wipe my installation for LVM though right?
[17:46] <startherepodcast> wenton maybe you would find the deb easyer
[17:46] <alex101> There's a problem with my Java, too.
[17:47] <sipior> wenton: got a usb stick around?
[17:47] <chri1> ethernet came unplugged and replugged and restarted. A disaster with IRC since however internet had no problem
[17:47] <neverblue> chri1, run it from a command line, to view output errors...
[17:47] <CJS3141> Are there any special tools for troubleshooting a program that crashes? And I mean a really gruesome crash--total system freezeup, have to power-down/reboot. :-)
[17:47] <soundray> DrHala1: no, you can have a non-LVM root and use LVM for data disks
[17:47] <DrHala1> soundray, i just hve one data disk so moving my home dir is simpler i guess..
[17:47] <neverblue> CJS3141, try testing your hardware, on the Ubuntu CD is a copy of Memtest, used to check your RAM
[17:48] <sipior> CJS3141: strace will give you an idea of what the program was doing when it died. gdb as well.
[17:48] <wenton> sipior yes :)
[17:48] <lordleemo_> wenton: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ put the deb on your stick and tranfer it done
[17:49] <azuki> hi all
[17:49] <alex101> Is there anyone that could help me with my Java?
[17:49] <azuki> friendly folks
[17:49] <wenton> startherepodcast: whats that?
[17:49] <insomninja_> =_= managed to forget to plug in the charger to my laptop
[17:49] <startherepodcast> nickname
[17:49] <soundray> alex101: we won't know whether or not we can until you ask your question ;)
[17:49] <alex101> Haha told you im new to the irc.
[17:49]  * DOOM_NX helloooooooooooooo
[17:49] <alex101> Well when i use a Java-based application it wont let me type in it.
[17:49] <Tobberoth> This is wonderful, I removed all the packages ubuntu-desktop depended on. Now internet doesn't work anymore.
[17:50] <CJS3141> neverblue, sipior: Thanks, about that Memtest, neverblue, is that also the option I get on bootup when it says something about memtest 86?
[17:50] <alex101> And not all Java applications load.
[17:50] <alex101> Some do, some dont.
[17:50] <azuki> I have this super annoying little thing.... ---> the menus are transparent (set it somewhere), but this causes my fullscreen game to be transparent also.. I can't find the command to set the transparency of menu's to solid.. please help!
[17:50] <insomninja_> (if somebody has answered my xmodmap question in the meantime, please repost as I'e missed it)
[17:50] <soundray> Tobberoth: configure it through /etc/network/interfaces -- 'man interfaces' is useful
[17:50] <neverblue> CJS3141, possibly, but to be sure, it is located on the Ubuntu CD, just select memory test, give it some time to test your RAM
[17:50] <wenton> i whats the lastest version of ndiswrapper version 1.45 hasn't worked
[17:51] <Tobberoth> soundray: Allright, I can try doing that, allthough I don't really know how, my router is supposed to handle such things, gateways etc
[17:51] <porthose> if anyone is interested in a good music server checkout http://vollmer.kicks-ass.net
[17:51] <bazhang> porthose not here thanks
[17:51] <startherepodcast> wenton: you could get build-essential deb and then compile ndiswrapper
[17:51] <Tobberoth> Also, I tried to shutdown -r now and when I got back into linux, it went all the way to "loading local scripts" or something like that, there it stopped.
[17:51] <CJS3141> neverblue: OK thanks, I'll give it a try.
[17:51] <soundray> Tobberoth: it's probably straightforward -- perhaps you need to just add a line like 'auto eth1' (replacing eth1 with your interface)
[17:52] <wenton> is that tricky? im not the best
[17:52] <startherepodcast> no
[17:52] <soundray> Tobberoth: hit return at that point to see if you get a login prompt
[17:52] <startherepodcast> i'll get the link to the deb for you
[17:52] <wenton> ty :)
[17:52] <azuki> where can I set menu transparency?
[17:52] <Tobberoth> Soundray: Ok, I'll try your advice. hopefully I'll come back in here on irssi in the linux partition hehe
[17:52] <genii> wenton: According to sourceforge, 1.52
[17:52] <alex101> Can someone please help me with my Java? I cant type in Java applications or ones that are on firefox, thought i have it installed. Oh, and some Java applications work, some dont, so i dont know whats going on
[17:52] <bazhang> azuki: you using compiz?
[17:53] <soundray> Tobberoth: if you want help with your interfaces file, put it on a pastebin. pastebinit is a package that makes this convenient
[17:53] <alex101> though*
[17:53] <azuki> bazhang: yes.. but I can't find it anywher
[17:53] <sipior> alex101: which java VM have you installed?
[17:53] <alex101> the newest
[17:53] <bazhang> alex101: this is ubuntu or ubuntu-based; which version
[17:53] <sipior> alex101: sun-jdk?
[17:53] <bazhang> azuki: what about alt f2 metacity --replace
[17:54] <alex101> yeah
[17:54] <alex101> number 6
[17:54] <startherepodcast> wenton: you can download build essential from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/
[17:54] <wenton> azuki have you downloaded compizconfig?
[17:54] <soundray> alex101: which version of java is configured? Find out with update-alternatives --list java (first line)
[17:54] <azuki> wenton: yes... it's all in order
[17:54] <wenton> ty
[17:54] <balle> last time i used the drivers for my graphics card an nvidie 6600 go i think, it totally messed up the screen, but i would like the visual enhancements and the use of another screen, so is there a safe way to enable the restricted drivers? or do an back up, from the GRUB
[17:54] <azuki> bazhang: but compiz can't set menutransparenc
[17:54] <azuki> bazhang: so when I reboot it'll be back

[17:55] <wenton> which one do I need to download startherepodcast

[17:56] <ForzaPalermo> hey when i use the cd.. command to go up one leve in the terminal, i get command not found?
[17:56] <suxxor> i`ve recently install windows book with wine but when i star the book program wants inserted disk but there is now virtual disk on linux to mount the iso
[17:56] <ForzaPalermo> any ideas
[17:56] <soundray> alex101: there, that's the problem. Run 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' and set it to use Sun Java as the default
[17:56] <azuki> bazhang: good question
[17:56] <suxxor> how can i make to run without virtual disk
[17:56] <wenton> ty
[17:56] <IanFHood> noobie question -> how can I change/alias the hostname that displays on command prompt without actually changing the hostname? (it is correct as is)
[17:57] <alex101>           1    /usr/bin/gij-4.2

[17:57] <sipior> IanFHood: modify your prompt in .bashrc or .profile
[17:57] <alex101> do i press number 2?
[17:57] <FloodBot1> alex101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:57] <Chrisie> mechanicalchris: sometimes it's the .xml files that are corrupt in /home/user/.purple; blist.xml or prefs.xml etc. Personally I drop them using Nautilus into Firefox and see if it tells me which line has the error
[17:57] <suxxor> i`ve recently install windows book with wine but when i star the book program wants inserted disk but there is now virtual disk on linux to mount the iso
[17:57] <sipior> IanFHood: look for the PS1 environmental variable
[17:57] <soundray> alex101: yes. And don't paste in the channel please
[17:57] <suxxor> how can i run the program
[17:57] <alex101> sorry
[17:58] <insomninja_> hmm, I might have misunderstanded xmodmaps syntax
[17:58] <mechanicalchris> Chrisie: yeah but i didnt even change anything just plugged the ethernet back in
[17:58] <ForzaPalermo> hey when i use the cd.. command to go up one leve in the terminal, i get command not found?
[17:58] <ForzaPalermo> any ideas
[17:58] <startherepodcast> wenton: you'll actually want this one http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/build-essential_11.3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[17:58] <levander> When I plug my DAP in, Ubuntu always thinks it's a removable hard drive and opens it with nautilus.  Is there any way to let Ubuntu know that's it really is a DAP?
[17:58] <sipior> ForzaPalermo: space between "cd" and ".."
[17:58] <soundray> ForzaPalermo: you need to leave a space: cd ..
[17:58] <IanFHood> sipior: ty
[17:58] <insomninja_> Is it at all possible to bind a key to a modifier+key combination?
[17:58] <ForzaPalermo> wow great
[17:58] <ForzaPalermo> thanks
[17:58] <mechanicalchris> how can I view the pidgin "base window" it wont come up
[17:59]  * soundray remembers faintly that cd.. worked in DOS...
[17:59] <alex101> soundray, it still says error loading applet and i stillcant type in java-based things.
[18:00] <soundray> alex101: okay, if this is an applet you're trying to load inside firefox, then you need to make sure that firefox is using the Sun Java plugin. Check by entering 'about:plugins' as the URL
[18:00] <kinnune> where can i get xmms from?
[18:00] <soundray> kinnune: synaptic
[18:01] <kinnune> its not there
[18:01] <JoeLinux117> @alex101:  "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin" for firefox support.
[18:01] <Khisanth> what service is responsible for detecting when a USB device is plugged/unplugged?
[18:01] <alex101> soundray everything under the Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_03-b05 says enabled
[18:01] <TyN> ola
[18:01] <TyN> ai alguien aki??
[18:01] <bazhang> !br
[18:01] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[18:01] <TyN> ps vaya peaaaazo d mierdaa!
[18:01] <alex101> thanks joe, im trying tht now
[18:02] <soundray> alex101: does it look like there's a competing plugin?
[18:02] <mechanicalchris> this is a disaster. why does pidgin just dissappear for no reason when i click it
[18:02] <alex101> Erm, one second.
[18:02] <Vixen> Aight, next problem- First the installer failed to creat ext3 over a swap partition that already existed, then it failed to create ext3 over a partition that was corrupted in the last install
[18:02] <soundray> kinnune: it's in the universe repository. You may have to enable it
[18:02] <alex101> soundray what bout this one?
[18:02] <alex101> GCJ Web Browser Plugin 0.92
[18:02] <alex101> ?
[18:02] <soundray> !repo | kinnune
[18:02] <ubotu> kinnune: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[18:02] <wenton> wht do i do now that is on my other ubuntu box startherepodcast?
[18:02] <Khisanth> hrm nevermind, lsusb did the trick :)
[18:02] <soundray> alex101: that could well be competing and causing your issues
[18:02] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  You don't create ext3 over a swap partition.  Maybe I misunderstood the question?
[18:02] <b4l74z4r> this is distressing, i've unchecked looking for updates automatically, but today this icon showed up in the systray notifying me that updates were available
[18:03] <Sip> hola
[18:03] <alex101> How do i turn it off?
[18:03] <startherepodcast> you follow the instructions in the sources of ndiswrapper
[18:03] <soundray> alex101: that depends on how you turned it on in the first place
[18:03]  * DOOM_NX opa giati paei pros ta pisw h karekla?...
[18:03] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, Maybe I didn't read the error message properly- there was a swap partition already created, when I tried to mount swap to it, it failed
[18:03] <alex101> I didn't turn it on, well, not directly.
[18:03] <Sip> alguien castellano???
[18:03] <nalioth> !es
[18:03] <ubotu> Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[18:04] <bazhang> portuguese Sip?
[18:04] <Sip> no nada
[18:04] <mechanicalchris> bazhang: you got this one
[18:04] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  I assume you're using Manual partitioning, correct?  If so, delete all of the partitions first, then start from scratch (you can delete partitions by selecting them, and then scrolling down to "Delete this partition").
[18:04] <nalioth> anyone familiar with blosxom ?
[18:04] <soundray> alex101: have a look in Tools-Addons -- if you can remove it there, fine. If not, you will have to remove the package that provides it.
[18:05] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, As in, not only unmount them, but delete the partitions themselves?
[18:05] <jin__> hi, how do I load the module ndiswrapper on startup?
[18:05] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  Yes, you can do this from within the partitioner, in the install program.
[18:05] <alex101> Nope, its not there. where could i find where the package is?
[18:05] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, Aight, thanks again, off I go
[18:05] <wenton> were are the sources of ndiswrapper
[18:05] <mechanicalchris> so is there a way to get pidgin back?
[18:06] <startherepodcast> wenton: oh i thought you'd downloaded them
[18:06] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  However, it will delete the partitions, which will make accessing your data from within the installer impossible (if you have any data you wish to keep there).
[18:06] <wenton> nope :S
[18:06] <bazhang> nalioth:  the blogging tool? is in the repos I recall
[18:06] <startherepodcast> wenton: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/
[18:06] <soundray> alex101: what's the filename in about:plugins? Something that begins with lib and ends in .so
[18:06] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, I don't have anything in there, so I'm off to do that, thanks again
[18:06] <lopin> Anybody know how to troubleshoot problems with nvidia graphics cards?
[18:06] <JoeLinux117> @Vixen:  Cool.  Good luck again!
[18:06] <alex101>   libgcjwebplugin.so
[18:07] <Vixen> JoeLinux117, Thanks xD
[18:07] <ken> Total n00b with a quick question: I installed and told my window manager to use 800x600 max, but now I want to go 1024x768.. where and which config file do I need to edit? Thanks! :>
[18:07] <nalioth> bazhang: yes, i know.
[18:07] <JoeLinux117> @alex101:  You want "libjavaplugin.so" in your plugins directory.
[18:07] <soundray> JoeLinux117: I've got it under control (alex101)
[18:08] <JoeLinux117> @soundray:  Noted, backing off...  :)
[18:08] <ggordon> 8.04 beta rocks!
[18:08] <soundray> alex101: try a 'sudo apt-get --purge remove gcjwebplugin'
[18:08] <bazhang> nalioth: sorry not to give more info but your question was kind of general ;]
[18:08] <mechanicalchris> bazhang: why wont my pidgin window show up?
[18:09] <bazhang> mechanicalchris: have you tried running pidgin from the terminal and seeing the errors it gives?
[18:09] <alex101> I think it has uninstalled now, i will try a java app in firefox.
[18:09] <soundray> nalioth: for a second, I was tempted to fire !anyone at you ;)
[18:09] <mechanicalchris> comman?
[18:09] <mechanicalchris> command?
[18:09] <bazhang> ggordon: tell the good news to #ubuntu+1 ;]
[18:10] <wenton> startherepodcast I have downloaded version 1.52, how do i complie it with the buid essential pack i got
[18:10] <ggordon> ok
[18:10] <soundray> alex101: you will need to restart firefox to complete the removal
[18:10] <bazhang> ggordon: and be sure to read the topic ;]
[18:10] <ggordon> it's better than XP now imho
[18:10] <startherepodcast> wenton: did you install the build-essential
[18:10] <wenton> yes :)
[18:10] <nalioth> how to set up blosxom for use ( i have used apt-get to retrieve it )
[18:10] <alex101> soundray, it is fixed now, thank you VERY much. :).
[18:11] <ggordon> can read..thx ;)
[18:11] <soundray> alex101: phew
[18:11] <alex101> Haha.
[18:11] <startherepodcast> wenton: extract the ndiswrapper
[18:11] <wenton> ok
[18:11] <startherepodcast> say to your desktop
[18:11] <eth01> nalioth: never heard of that :/
[18:11] <wenton> i will just do that, 1 sec
[18:11] <alex101> I've only been using ubuntu for about 2 months now, but i had my laptop in for repair for a few weeks so i had to like, get used to the little things i knew again.
[18:12] <jin__> hi, how do I load the module ndiswrapper on startup?
[18:12] <alex101> Already after only 2 months i can say, i much prefer Ubuntu over Windows.
[18:12] <soundray> nalioth: I haven't used it myself, but have you seen /usr/share/doc/blosxom/README.Debian ?
[18:13] <startherepodcast> wenton: then open a terminal
[18:13] <wenton> startherepodcast done
[18:13] <wenton> ok
[18:13] <bazhang> http://www.blosxom.com/documentation/users/install/dynamic/isp.html nalioth have you seen this
[18:13] <cleo> what is the root password in ubuntu live cd
[18:14] <startherepodcast> cleo: no password
[18:14] <startherepodcast> cleo: enter in the terminal: passwd root
[18:14] <nalioth> bazhang: i have been trying to get this working for two days
[18:14] <startherepodcast> set the root password
[18:14] <bazhang> nalioth: there are also instructions for windows and mac ;]
[18:15] <soundray> !root | cleo
[18:15] <ubotu> cleo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[18:15] <nalioth> bazhang: lucky for windows and mac users  :]
[18:15] <startherepodcast> wenton: cd to the ndiswrapper directory
[18:15] <soundray> startherepodcast: please don't recommend setting a root password -- Ubuntu is designed for administration via sudo
[18:15] <mechanicalchris> bazhang: I type pidgin into the terminal and nothing happens
[18:16] <bazhang> nalioth: could you specify the errors you are getting or difficulties?
[18:16] <wenton> cd: no such file or directory
[18:16] <bazhang> mechanicalchris: is it even installed? how about alt f2 pidgin
[18:16] <tonyyarusso> What can I install/use to make Ubuntu an OpenID provider?
[18:16] <nalioth> bazhang: no, but thanks for the assist  :)
[18:16] <jin__> I have loaded the module ndiswrapper atm, how do I set Ubuntu to lad it automatically at  startup?
[18:17] <zvz> hello boys and girls I'm getting Error 17 could not boot selected partition on one of my computers...
[18:17] <startherepodcast> wenton: did you extract the file to your desktop
[18:17] <zvz> or something like that
[18:17] <mechanicalchris> bazhang: its installed. Im using it. I just cant see that base window. the one where you can choose file>join chat. I got here by typing thcommand
[18:17] <wenton> yep
[18:17] <soundray> jin__: add 'ndiswrapper' on a line by itself at the end of /etc/modules
[18:17] <bazhang> mechanicalchris: try disabling compiz if it is running
[18:17] <wenton> i can see it sat there
[18:18] <startherepodcast> ok
[18:18] <zvz> help :(
[18:18] <soundray> tonyyarusso: maybe python-openid? (from apt-cache search openid)
[18:19] <chris____> hey everyone
[18:19] <chris____> just a quick question on what i should do here
[18:19] <tonyyarusso> soundray: I saw that, but it looks more like a library for functionality for others to build with.  Not really sure...
[18:19] <startherepodcast> enter: cd /home[your user name]/Desktop
[18:20] <startherepodcast> */home/[your user name]/Desktop
[18:20] <chris____> ive run into quite a handfull of problems running a 64-bit ver of Ubuntu...would it just be better if I format and install the 32-bit ver?
[18:20] <JoeLinux117> @chris___:  That's sort of a loaded question...
[18:20] <MrBumblebee> chris____: I've contimplated it after ndiswrapper issies
[18:20] <sipior> chris____: if you don't have more than 4GB of memory, it really won't hurt, no.
[18:21] <chris____> 4GB of ram?
[18:21] <chris____> or HD space
[18:21] <JoeLinux117> @chris___:  RAM
[18:21] <chris____> ok

[18:24] <CJS3141> How can I determine which version of the linux kernel I'm using?
[18:24] <JoeLinux117> @chris___:  Easiest... re-install the 32-bit version.
[18:24] <maverick_> uname -a
[18:24] <JoeLinux117> @CJS3141:  uname -r
[18:24] <stefg> CJS3141: uname -r
[18:24] <chris____> ok, does that mean just boot the 32 bit version from CD and do the whole install process again?

[18:29] <mechanicalchris> just unplugged and re-plugged ethernet
[18:30] <Mantega> mechanicalchris: use xchat
[18:30] <wenton> startherepodcast its finished running make in the terminal now
[18:30] <mechanicalchris> obviously I have a connection
[18:30] <CJS3141> I ran memtest86, and it found a bad memory location. I read that possibly "BadRAM" (http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/) could be used to patch the linux kernel to avoid a bad memory address. Anybody have any experience with this?
[18:30] <startherepodcast> wenton: enter: sudo make install
[18:30] <mechanicalchris> did use Xchat. couldnt find port or something. plus i like poidgin
[18:30] <wenton> done
[18:30] <mechanicalchris> do things just randomly not work on ubuntu?
[18:30] <JoeLinux117> @mechanicalchris:  Is the pidgin icon showing up in your notification tray?
[18:31] <wirrwarr> oh yeah
[18:31] <wenton> will this automaticlly overwrite my older version of ndiswrapper 1.45
[18:31] <startherepodcast> now if you enter ndiswrrapper -i i show give you somthing
[18:31] <startherepodcast> yeah
[18:31] <mechanicalchris> JoeLinux117: at the buttom: yes then it pidgin is loading. but in never loads the home screen
[18:31] <JoeLinux117> @mechanicalchris:  Try clicking the pidgin icon.
[18:31] <wenton> ndiswrapper -v still shows 1.45
[18:32] <startherepodcast> oh
[18:32] <wenton> not 1.52
[18:32] <startherepodcast> wierd
[18:32] <mechanicalchris> JoeLinux117: no it just loads on the task bar (sorry XP lingo) then dissapears
[18:32] <gmenelau> which program can i share and files and folders from ubuntu and windows ?
[18:32] <startherepodcast> sudo apt-get uninstall ndiswrapper
[18:32] <afm1997> soñadora
[18:32] <startherepodcast> that should do the trick
[18:32] <JoeLinux117> @mechanicalchris:  Oh.  Well I meant the "system tray", is the Pidgin icon there?
[18:32] <mechanicalchris> no
[18:33] <insomninja_> any awesome/X/gnome gurus online? my F13-21 keys do not do what they should on their own, so I have to use them with a modkey, which defeats the purpose
[18:33] <JoeLinux117> @mechanicalchris:  You can also type "ps -ef | grep pidgin" in a terminal to check and see if pidgin is running.
[18:33] <wenton> E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper
[18:33] <mechanicalchris> JoeLinux117: whats the command to run pidgin in the terminal. Maybe I can tell you the errors
[18:33] <CJS3141> Anybody have experience troubleshooting a bad RAM address?

[18:35] <JoeLinux117> @mechanicalchris:  Do you have a "system tray" (notification tray) added to your gnome-panel?
[18:36] <stefg> CJS3141: run the memtest (let it do a couple of runs overnight). I know there are kernel options t map out bad memory regions, but ram is so dirt cheap that i rather would replace it if the memtest shows errors
[18:36] <mechanicalchris> JoeLinux117: I didnt add one
[18:36] <bastid_raZor> CJS3141; i just bought 2G for 43$ US
[18:36] <wenton> i got the driver to install on 1.45 but when i run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper i  get segmentation fault
[18:36] <JoeLinux117> @mechanicalchris:  You can add one by right-clicking on one of your panels, then clicking "Add to Panel...", then scrolling down and selecting the Notification Area under "Utilities".
[18:37] <mechanicalchris> JoeLinux117: I found it. im such a fool. I expected to see a pidgin but its a clock...
[18:37] <Zambezi> Anyone with 22" WS-screen? I want some quick messasurements.
[18:37] <CJS3141> stefg: Yes, maybe replacing the memory is the best option! :-)

[18:37] <Keigo-kun> How can I change my monitor resolution? (the CLI display. I'm not using X server)
[18:38] <stefg> CJS3141: but run memetest to be sure if it's the ram, and to get a clue which bar is the bad one
[18:38] <wenton> were is device manager?

[18:38] <JoeLinux117> @mechanicalchris:  Anytime!
[18:39] <CJS3141> stefg: How do know which memory module is at fault? All I have is a HEX address from memtest.
[18:39] <startherepodcast> wenton: system->preferences->hardwareinfomation
[18:39] <adrian15> tonin: it does not work at all.. or don't you know how to vol/up vol/down its vol ?
[18:39] <stefg> CJS3141: rip one out, run memtest... the rip the first one out, but stick in the second.. run memtest again
[18:40] <stefg> CJS3141: simple deduction by testing them one by one
[18:40] <tonin> it does't work at all
[18:40] <startherepodcast> wenton: in their look for bcm or broadcom
[18:40] <capitocapito> Question: I installed Esperanto support in ubuntu, but it doesn't show up in the gdm selector.  How do I fix this?
[18:40] <tonin> but it works if i start with windows
[18:40] <mechanicalchris> JoeLinux117: so i figured its just automatically anchoring itself in "the system tray". Can I set it to not do that
[18:40] <mar_> ola
[18:41] <adrian15> tonin: ah, it's an integrated laptop microphone... you should check your laptop settings at ubuntuhardware.org (or something like it).
[18:41] <CJS3141> stefg: Yikes--that's an awfully primitive way of having to do it--there's no way of knowing which hex mem address corresponds to a particular mem module?
[18:41] <tonin> ok, i will check it now
[18:42] <stefg> CJS3141: no, you would need to know how the mobo translates adresses to chips... and that might be different if you are running Dual channel ... maybe some geek in #hardware knows more
[18:42] <mar_> heloo
[18:43] <adrian15> CJS3141: Unless you know the BIOS and motherboard specs, isn't it :) ?
[18:43] <CJS3141> stefg: OK, point well taken! :-)
[18:43] <Keigo-kun> I started Finch for the first time and I got to the account window. I have a working MSN profile added, but enter doesn't do anything, how do I actually connect to it?
[18:43] <stefg> CJS3141: and keep in mind to test the sockets, too .... if one membar fials in one socket but works in the other you know it's the socket
[18:44] <CJS3141> adrian15: What do you mean? Yes, I know some of the bios and motherboard specs...
[18:44] <Keigo-kun> Nevermind, got it working
[18:44] <flake> oh haha.. hardy will be delayed by 3 months - nice april fool's joke
[18:44] <adrian15> CJS3141: I was talking about the mem... never mind.
[18:45] <CJS3141> stefg: Yes, thanks, I read that on the memtest website too. I'll be sure to try different sockets. :-)

[19:07] <b4l74z4r> what is lssl in linux?
[19:12] <askand> are there any big pros with using 64bit ubuntu instead of 32?
[19:13] <Intelligitimate> Ok, got that problem fixed.
[19:13] <Intelligitimate> Now my Metacity is giving me extreme problems.
[19:14] <stefg> askand: 32 bit is more convinient, but 64 bit can adress more than 4 GB ram and is quicker e.g. in encoding video
[19:14] <Intelligitimate> I open the terminal and type  "Metacity &" to get back my icons to close the windows and such, and then I close the terminal window, and it all goes away.
[19:14] <Intelligitimate> Now I can't type in the terminal window when I open it.
[19:14] <Intelligitimate> Or any window.
[19:15] <LetoII> nohup metacity &
[19:15] <stefg> askand: in general you'll run into flash, wine and codec issues with 64bit, and will have to set up a 32bit lib environment to be able to use them.... possible but a bit complicated
[19:15] <Intelligitimate> Eh?
[19:17] <soundray> stefg: that is not true with gutsy anymore -- you can install an ia32 environment and flash, wine, codecs, skype and Adobe Reader will be fine
[19:17] <Intelligitimate> I can no longer type anything, everthing is interpreted as referring back to the desktop.
[19:17] <Intelligitimate> I can
[19:17] <askand> stefg: yes, that would be the cons..wwhat is the pros? :)
[19:17] <soundray> stefg: not complicated at all
[19:18] <Intelligitimate> How do I fix Metacity?
[19:18] <stefg> askand: see soundray, he obviously has newer experience with that than me...
[19:18] <soundray> askand: 64bit supports more RAM and is a bit faster, especially when it comes to numbercrunching and memory I/O intensive apps, such as video encoding
[19:19] <stefg> askand: you can have loads of Ram and actually use the full speed of your system in 64 bit ...
[19:19] <coldfusion> soundray: so do you recommend installing the 64 bit version of Hoary (if your system is capable)?
[19:20] <coldfusion> *hardy
[19:20] <jughead> Intelligitimate, what happens when you restart X?  ctl+alt+bcksp
[19:20] <stefg> coldfusion: Hoary != hardy :-)
[19:20] <coldfusion> heh ma bad
[19:20] <soundray> coldfusion: no, I won't recommend installing hardy before it's released. But once it's out, I don't foresee any problems with 64bits
[19:20] <sphinxx> can some help me, i installed pidgin and i try to connect but it gets stuck on connecting
[19:20] <askand> soundray:  stefg:  I see, thanks

[19:35] <keit1> I'm curious on how to go about setting up VPN on gutsy, what client is currently under the most heavy development
[19:36] <centyx> keit1: depends on your needs.
[19:36] <keit1> centyx: do you use vpn yourself?
[19:37] <no0tic> !ru
[19:37] <centyx> keit1: currently use openvpn, previously used native ipsec, before that free s/wan
[19:38] <keit1> centyx: I'll take a look at openvpn
[19:38] <balle> is there a term code for winamp install?
[19:38] <soundray> balle: there is no winamp for Linux. Try audacious
[19:39] <centyx> balle: you may like mpd ( music server ) and one of its clients
[19:39] <keit1> soundray: have you tried projectM?  I compiled it the other day and it brought the system to a standstill using an x800xt ati card and the ati driver
[19:39] <jessica_> how do i restart my graphics
[19:40] <shantzu> what do i have to set into my opera browser for 'java path' so i can see websites with java content please ?
[19:40] <soundray> jessica_: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (quit applications first)
[19:40] <jessica_> i dont want to log out i just wish to restart my x server
[19:40] <soundray> keit1: no, I haven't
[19:41] <MrPockets> what is Nautilis
[19:41] <MrPockets> and why is it taking up 48% CPU?
[19:41] <soundray> jessica_: you can't restart X without logging out
[19:41] <centyx> jessica_: you'll need to logout to do that...
[19:41] <keit1> jessica_:  that does exactly that
[19:41] <jughead> jessica_, you logout to restart xserver
[19:41] <jughead> well, it always puts me back at the login screen
[19:41] <Spng> I have a problem with my screenresoulution. (acer 6291, ubuntu 7.10) after trying to attach a external drive my resolution changed from 1280x768 to 640x480. And it wont let me change back(no options to choose anything else but 640x480 anywhere.) Pleasereply in pm if someone can help, couse with this res the chanel is moving to fast for me.
[19:41] <jessica_> o ok fair enough then
[19:42] <soundray> MrPockets: nautilus is the default gnome filebrowser. When it hogs the CPU, it's probably generating preview icons.
[19:42] <mydoghasworms> Hello friendly friends!
[19:42] <keit1> Spng: try reconfiguring
[19:42] <keit1> !fixres | Spng
[19:42] <mydoghasworms> Is anyone using Aptana on 8.04?
[19:42] <soundray> MrPockets: you can disable preview icons through Edit-Preferences in any filebrowser window
[19:42] <soundray> mydoghasworms: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[19:43] <mydoghasworms> soundray: Oh sorry, thanks!

[19:52] <arooni> how do i create a user

[19:53] <brian_> I want to dual boot 7.10 and WinXP, but I don't know how to set up the different partitions(Up until now, I've always just done "Guided, use entire disk" at setup), can anyone help me?
[19:53] <genii> arooni: sudo adduser newusernamehere
[19:53] <Exteris> brian_, use manual

[19:53] <bod_> brian_, are you dualbooting with 1 hdd?
[19:54] <mambo_> hello everybody :) I run Ubuntu Alpha 8.04 on my laptop right now because of several drivers that were not implemented in 7.xx, now that 8 goes stable I'd like to change to 8.04 stable, how do I change? Any easy solution for this or do I need to do a complete re-install?
[19:54] <stefg> wb, ubotu!
[19:54] <brian_> bod_: Yeh. I have another hard drive I can put it, but its only 8gb, wont be very useful
[19:54] <soundray> !yay | ubotu
[19:54] <ubotu> ubotu: Glad you made it! :-)
[19:54] <balle> !yay /me
[19:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yay /me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:54] <keit1> mambo_: should be a case of backing up your home and then re-installing
[19:54] <Kliment> mambo_: just update regularly, and by the time it's out, you'll be done
[19:54] <balle> !info gutsy l balle
[19:54] <ubotu> Package gutsy does not exist in gutsy
[19:55] <mambo_> keitl: k, thanks :)
[19:55] <Kliment> mambo_: you don't need to reinstall at all
[19:55] <soundray> !msgthebot > balle
[19:55] <bod_> brian_, well you'll prob want xp installed on your big hard drive, then when you install you can use uided -- use continuous free space,. thats the easy solution, or you can manually set up the / /home and swap partitions
[19:55] <mambo_> Kliment: so it won't go to 9.xx alpha on it's own by normal updates?
[19:55] <arooni> wwq222 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported. ........   where do i got to add the user to the the sudo capable users ?
[19:55] <Kliment> mambo_: nope, it will go to the stable one
[19:55] <balle> now i have this problem with my sound card, i do not think it is detected, theres usually a red led that glows outta there, and it can play sound through a mini jack plug, but not at the moment, any thoughts on a fix for this?
[19:56] <chester_m> someone has experience in meta-package creating?
[19:56] <mambo_> Kliment: thanks alot :)
[19:56] <Kliment> !sudoers
[19:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sudoers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:56] <Kliment> !sudo
[19:56] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[19:56] <bod_> balle, in a terminal type    asoundconf list    and tell me the output
[19:56] <unstable> Where is the proper place to place backup scripts? in .bash_profile? or where?
[19:57] <Kliment> !sudo |arooni
[19:57] <bod_> unstable, anywhere in your $PATH would be good
[19:57] <ubotu> arooni: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[19:57] <Kliment> arooni: section 3 on that page
[19:57] <arooni> wwq222 ALL=(ALL)ALL    .... is that what i want in visudo?
[19:57] <balle> names of available sound cards ich6//SAA7134
[19:57] <keit1> Kliment:  is that true, didn't realise the beta would upgrade to stable. --  are there ever any issues like during an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10?
[19:57] <balle> bod_: names of available sound cards ich6//SAA7134
[19:58] <bod_> balle, ok, so is that 1 onboard and 1 soundcard or 2 soundcards?
[19:58] <Kliment> keit1: there are theoretically no issues, in practice there are always issues
[19:58] <brian_> bod_: I'd prefer to manually do it if I can... But I don't really know which partitions to make. Would ya mind helping me through it if I boot it up now? And would swap benefit from being on its own seperate drive?
[19:58] <Toznoshio> Q: What are the top 3 things I might be able to do to have better performance / responsiveness on a freshly installed Gutsy?
[19:58] <tuna> unstable: what did you mean? do you want them to run at regular intervals? if so, look up anacron
[19:58] <danand> balle - you need to be a little more specific... what kind of soundcard do you have? ie Make/Model internal/external etc ... Check the output of lspci (PCI card) or lsusb (external USB) to see if your soundcard is listed
[19:58] <brian_> bod_:It's own drive, not just partition
[19:58] <Kliment> !cron
[19:58] <taza> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/149260 <--- I seem to be suffering from that bug. It's killing a very important software.
[19:58] <keit1> Kliment: yeah I had field-experience with some on the ground
[19:58] <bod_> brian_, no it wouldnt benefit,. (i would of thouht the opposite) i will help if i can
[19:59] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[19:59] <balle> bod_: i only know that i have 1 sound card, the other must be an onboard
[19:59] <bluefoxx> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61837/ >good or bad and what does it mean to me. also, is it jsut me using firefox3 beta that the text looks retarded to or what?
[19:59] <soundray> Toznoshio: that's hard to answer without knowing the bottlenecks in your system
[19:59] <bod_> balle, in terminal type     lspci      and pastebin the output
[19:59] <brian_> bod_: Ah, ok, thanks :D (:S I woulda thought it made sense it would benefit. It's kinda like RAM on the hard drive, isn't it? So if it's on a seperate hard drive, it won't be slowed by other read/write stuff. Or I completely missunderstood what it did xP)
[20:00] <solexious> soundray: what was the ppt to dvd burning program again, i dont get a burning wissard :s
[20:00] <Toznoshio> soundray: It takes a while for the menus to show up when I click on them
[20:00] <tuna> Toznoshio: profile the boot, install preload and turn off access times
[20:00] <bod_> brian_, but it still has to make contact with a seperate disk,.,. i wouldnt know how to confiure a swap partition for an os on a diff hd ;~)
[20:00] <balle> bod_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6336/
[20:00] <Kliment> bluefoxx: it's their brilliant april fools joke
[20:01] <soundray> solexious: go through Places-CD/DVD Creator
[20:01] <bluefoxx> Kliment: ah.
[20:01] <taza> How do I upgrade into a driver later than what ubuntu offers for intel cards?
[20:01] <bod_> balle, i think ICH6 is your soundcard ( a Intel corporation card?)
[20:01] <taza> The current repo drivers have a significant bug which causes very important applications to crash.
[20:01] <Toznoshio> tuna: I know how to do #2 and #3, but how do I profile the boot?
[20:02] <brian_> bod_: Ah, ok :) I figured that you would just put the partition on the other hard drive, but I don't really know anything about linux :P
[20:02] <soundray> Toznoshio: perhaps turn off desktop effects if you have them on
[20:02] <keit1> taza: dl the source and compile it yourself
[20:02] <bod_> brian_, i dont know if it would work.,.,. might do ;~)
[20:02] <soundray> keit1: for a video driver?
[20:02] <taza> keit1: Thanks. You're really helpful. Really, good work. How can I ever repay you for that stellar advice?
[20:02] <solexious> soundray: got that up, how do i make the dvd so the slideshow plays?
[20:02] <keit1> taza: be sure to know what you are doing and backup important system files
[20:02] <unstable> tuna / bod_, no I mean where should i have them start from? cron? a bash script? what?
[20:02] <startgame412> why is hardy going to be delayed for 3 months?
[20:03] <taza> startgame412: Today is april 1st.
[20:03] <tuna> Toznoshio: when booting, enter grub and add profile to kernel command line. That boot, it will be abysmally slow, but it will be faster on subsequent boots
[20:03] <balle> bod_ : sounds right, how do i use it? it makes sense that i can play sounds on my labtop speakers with the onboard soundcard, but not get anything out of it right?
[20:03] <keit1> taza: well if you wanna lay on the sarcasm then go figure it out yourself
[20:03] <brian_> bod_: Nah, not worth the hassle :) It's fast enough as is :P
[20:03] <tuna> unstable: cron.
[20:03] <taza> keit1: I was asking here in case someone knows.
[20:03] <balle> bod_: so... how do i make the sound go through the sound card?
[20:03] <keit1> taza: that is the answer
[20:03] <brian_> bod_: Booting... Thisll take a coupla minutes
[20:03] <taza> it's fixed in hardy anyway, but I can't reinstall. ;_;
[20:03] <pirata> thinkpad x60 user here?
[20:04] <keit1> taza: what more do you want??? me to compile it for you?
[20:04] <taza> pirata: Intel graphics card problem?
[20:04] <pirata> no
[20:04] <pirata> just only talk about it
[20:04] <bod_> balle, when there is more then 1 sound device the system can et confused, we have to tell it to be unconfused,.,. so in terminal type     asoundconf -set-default-card ICH6
[20:04] <Toznoshio> soundray, tuna: OK, thanks for the help
[20:04] <pirata> why? do you have problems taza ?
[20:04] <taza> pirata: Well, the graphics card drivers are broken before Hardy for one. :P
[20:04] <dimitree> In need of web conferencing solution with app/dekstop sharing and Voip for free online school :) or something like that ;) can someone help ?
[20:04] <taza> pirata: I have a graphics card very similiar, and I've been having trouble with random crashing.
[20:05] <bod_> balle, actually, this command     asoundconf set-default-card ICH6
[20:05] <pirata> taza, ubuntu 7.10 is working very well i think at my x69
[20:05] <b4l74z4r> when i uncheck "allow the window manager to control the windows" in the Wine configuration, the keyboard doesn't work anymore in games, is there a remedy for this?
[20:05] <pirata> taza ah thats not good :-P
[20:05] <taza> pirata: Happens with opengl rendering
[20:05] <soundray> solexious: ppt files as exported from OpenOffice won't autoplay. For that you will have to use MS Powerpoint, sorry. Look at PDF export options for an alternative (use File-Export, then select file type PDF, don't use File-Export as PDF)
[20:05] <taza> It bugs randomly but repeatedly.
[20:05] <pirata> taza, ah ok
[20:05] <brian_> dimitree: Google KDX :D I wanted the same thing recently, someone suggested that to me. Haven't actually USED It yet though... But it might work for what you need

[20:10] <pirata> taza, hehe, does it have an 8 zoll display?
[20:10] <tonyyarusso> david49: universe.
[20:10] <balle> bod_ : Please note that you are attempting to run asoundconf as a privileged superuser, which may have unintended consequences.
[20:10] <taza> pirata: What is a zoll?
[20:10] <Zmine> papisexy..your nick shold be that the next time you sign on, unless you change it again to jeremy_
[20:10] <papisexy> damn i still have 2 put a password in
[20:11] <david49> simple please, like me
[20:11] <bod_> balle, but it doesnt stop you from runnin the command?
[20:11] <tonyyarusso> !universe | david49
[20:11] <pirata> inch
[20:11] <cook> hey guys. i've got a big problem. my pc is running since 4 hours now. and at the start until before one hour every thing was okay. but then the load was going high and the pc was lagging. i dont know what it could be
[20:11] <david49> tonyrusso, whats universe?
[20:11] <brian_> bod_: I'm confused though... I thought that the Windows partition used the WHOLE hard drive. So wouldn't any option get rid of Windows? Or does the first one actually resize the Windows partition WITHOUT messing it up?
[20:11] <gorbierd> danand thank you alot
[20:11] <balle> bod_: it aint running nothing as we speak
[20:11] <nbkr> cook, run the "top" command on the console and press "p" while it runs.
[20:11] <papisexy> i havent put in a password
[20:11] <unop__> danand, gorbierd, find /path -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t /path/to/newdir
[20:12] <Zmine> papisexy I thought you did the password thing earlier today
[20:12] <tonyyarusso> david49: that was for the bot - a sec
[20:12] <bod_> brian_, takes the free space away from windows and then gives it to ubuntu,.,. windows partitions the whole drive but doesnt use it all
[20:12] <bod_> balle, no sound then?
[20:12] <david49> tony, ok
[20:12] <alan_m> Ubotu isnt working.....
[20:12] <papisexy> i dont think i did when i put my password in said incorrect
[20:12] <bod_> !yay
[20:12] <balle> bod_ : no light right now, checking sound...
[20:12] <cook> nbkr: the only thing my htop shows me is the biggest cpu % with 3 its pidgin and there is no "Z" at the STAT
[20:12] <danand> gorbierd - see unop__'s comment. That is better :)
[20:12] <unop__> alan_m, query ubotwo instead
[20:12] <bod_> the bots dead again
[20:12] <balle> bod_ : speakers are good... trying headphones
[20:13] <tonyyarusso> !universe | david49
[20:13] <tonyyarusso> maybe?
[20:13] <alan_m> either bot should be giving responses with ! right?
[20:13] <bod_> alan_m, yer
[20:13] <david49> tony, are you telling me something?
[20:13] <nbkr> cook, What does "cat /proc/meminfo" show, and is the hard drive ok?
[20:13]  * alan_m wonders why neither are responding...ah well.
[20:13] <Zmine> papisexy if you type /nickserv help ..you'll get a list that might help
[20:13] <solexious> soundray: bum, thank you. If I make jpgs of the slides is there a dvd creator program for linux, i.e. custom menu pages?
[20:13] <brian_> bod_: Ah, sweet. :S Apparently, this is a 60gb hard drive, I always thought it was 40, haha. How much space do you recommend for Ubuntu and swap?
[20:14] <soundray> solexious: I'm sure there is a solution for your problem, but I don't know what's best
[20:14] <bod_> brian_, how much ram have u ot?
[20:14] <solexious> soundray: thank you for your help
[20:14] <bod_> ot=got
[20:14] <gorbierd> unop__ danand thanks for help)
[20:14] <cook> nbkr, http://paste.frubar.net/7911
[20:14] <cook> nbkr, how should i know if the hard drive is ok. i think its okay...
[20:14] <brian_> bod_: 1280mb
[20:14] <keit1> taza; the link to intel's driver site is here http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-023086.htm it includes the driver for linux for your system but there are different chipset under the GMA900 guise as far as I can tell.  you should only do continue with compiling if you have a complete backup of all system files edited and all important data - plus a livecd to hand too.  hope this helps ;)
[20:15] <soundray> solexious: why not try the PDF export? In the options dialog, you can set it up to display full-screen on load. If you saved your presentation with automatic transition, the PDF should auto-progress as well.
[20:15] <nbkr> david49, The "universe" is a software repository. Something like a great software store. You have to activate that source for your system so the apt tools are abel to use it.
[20:15] <brian_> bod_:one 256mb, and one 1024mb
[20:15] <taza> keit1: Yeah, I think I'll wait for eeeXubuntu 8.04
[20:15] <david49> nbkr, thankyou, how do I do that?
[20:15] <Achoth> Hi. What CHMOD values should I by default have on a webserver's files?
[20:15] <bod_> brian_, well the general rule is    swap=2*ram    so 2 gig
[20:16] <keit1> taza: fair, don't blame you.  but that would have probably fixed it anyhow
[20:16] <balle> bod_ : found earphones, no sound... could it be in the player perhaps?
[20:16] <bod_> balle, laptop?
[20:16] <david49> nbkr, is it in ubuntu, or a site?
[20:16] <keit1> taza: compiling drivers of all things can really make a hash of your system if you muck it up
[20:16] <taza> keit1: Only too aware, experienced with that
[20:16] <unop__> Achoth, it depends really .. the safest are 440
[20:16] <balle> bod_ : yep
[20:17] <keit1> taza: yep me too with sound drivers lol
[20:17] <brian_> bod_: And how much does Ubuntu need? Ubuntu on this computer is JUST so that my brother doesnt install infected stuff on Windows and screw it up again :P So I'm trying to figure out the least I can get away with, since he won't know how to install stuff on here anyways
[20:17] <papisexy> ok it knows me know lol
[20:17] <Achoth> unop__: On both folders and 440?
[20:17] <bod_> balle, i think theres a general problem with headphones on laptops with ubuntu,.,. but thats a new question for the channel ;~)
[20:17] <Achoth> files, not 440
[20:17] <taza> keit1: And I use a special network configuration AND I don't have my workbench handy. Reinstalling could be... painful.
[20:17] <rshank> hello, I'm working with 8.04 beta.. is this the best room for troubleshooting some nvidia and kernel quetsions?
[20:17] <balle> bod_ : it shuts off the sound when i plug it in, so it disables the speakers... but not sound from that channel
[20:17] <keit1> taza: if you can live with the bugs ;)
[20:17] <taza> keit1: Anyway, time to leave this mess. Channels with hundreds of members never really were my thing.
[20:17] <falken_> is that serious? hardy will be delayed 3 months?
[20:17] <unop__> Achoth, it depends, the defaults work fine
[20:18] <keit1> taza: c ya
[20:18] <taza> falken_: 1st of april
[20:18] <bod_> brian_, well, i usually would go for 2gig for swap 5gig for / and leftover for /home
[20:18] <nbkr> david49, run "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and remove the leading # from every line that stats with "deb" and has "universe" in it. Afterwards run "sudo apt-get update" on the console. You can also do it via gui, but I don't know how the settings are labeld in english. I run a german ubuntu version.
[20:18] <keit1> falken_: got me too
[20:18] <tomd123> does the alternate ubuntu cd let you pick the things you want installed (including gnome or kde)
[20:18] <cook> nbkr.?
[20:18] <Achoth> unop__: What are the defaults?
[20:18] <falken_> oh, november sierra. I forgot. lol
[20:18] <brian_> bod_: Okie dokie :D Thanks, I'll try that
[20:18] <nbkr> cook, is it a sata drive or a ide drive?
[20:18] <bod_> balle, im not sure im afraid
[20:18] <tonyyarusso> tomd123: You can do a minimal install and work from there.
[20:18] <cook> nbkr it is a ide drive
[20:18] <balle> bod_ : well, thx for trying nonetheless
[20:18] <bod_> balle ;~)
[20:19] <unop__> Achoth, they are owned by www-data and have 750 (i believe, i might be wrong)
[20:19] <david49> nbkr, thanks very much, I'll try and decipher that..I'm a noob........
[20:19] <bod_> brian_, i gotto go,.,. r u all sorted?
[20:19] <soundray> david49: there is another way that you might find easier
[20:19] <david49> soundray....ok :-)
[20:19] <gorbierd> unop__ "find /path -print0" sorts in desk order
[20:19] <brian_> bod_: I think so... Will i be able to make it default to booting to windows easily enough?
[20:19] <soundray> david49: System-Administration-Software Sources -- enable universe on the first tab
[20:19] <nbkr> Install the smartmontools and run "smartctl -H /dev/yourdrive". Replace yourdrive with th appropriate setting. Probably it is "hda" (without the quotes).
[20:20] <Achoth> unop_: Doesn't work with 750 on folder & files
[20:20] <david49> soundray, gottit...........cheers
[20:20] <bod_> brian_, there is a OS choice picker thingamie called grub that lets you pick which os to boot into everytime you turn on your machine
[20:20] <falken_> has anyone ever set up wireless on a laptop?
[20:20] <unop__> gorbierd, if you are copying files, you dont need them to be sorted
[20:20] <cook> nbkr, okay wait
[20:20] <rshank> falken_ I have.
[20:20] <soundray> falken_: no, noone ever has
[20:20] <brian_> bod_: Ah, k, sweet :D Thanks a ton, I should be able to blunder through it from here! :)
[20:21] <soundray> falken_: dang, caught lying
[20:21] <bod_> brian_, have fun ;~)
[20:21] <papisexy> is there a chatroom for wine if so pm me
[20:21] <unop__> gorbierd, unless there's some unusual requirement that i have missed?
[20:21] <bod_> #winehq
[20:21] <falken_> so what is the deal with this: I can get a connection at my local Books A Mil
[20:21] <brian_> bod_ Thanks again :)
[20:21] <Achoth> falken_: Nope, but just search for "wlan" in Add/Remove and you'll find loads of apps for it
[20:21] <bod_> ;~)
[20:21] <falken_> but can't figure out how to login
[20:21] <unop__> Achoth, http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2004/05/28/apacheckbk.html
[20:21] <rmiloh> is there a chatroom for security issues?
[20:21] <kdub432> how can i find out what a binary is linked against?
[20:21] <rshank> is there a beta issues chatroom
[20:22] <papisexy> pm me if there a chatrrom for wine
[20:22] <nbkr> kdub432, ldd /path/to/binary
[20:22] <bod_> #ubuntu+1
[20:22] <gorbierd> upon__ yes i need to copy file in alphabetical order to my flash-mp3 player
[20:22] <Starnestommy> papisexy: #winehq
[20:22] <bod_> papisexy, #winehq
[20:22] <hammerhead> kookookachu
[20:22] <kdub432> nbkr: thanks
[20:22] <cook> nbkr, SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it.
[20:22] <what_the_deuce> Hi there. I was wondering if anyone could help me set up a connection share between this Ubuntu box and an xbox 360, via Firestarter?
[20:22] <papisexy> #winehq
[20:22] <gorbierd> upon__ otherwise they copies in strange order and i can't listen them fine
[20:22] <bod_> papisexy, type   /j #winehq
[20:22] <Achoth> unop__: Thanks :)
[20:22] <nbkr> cook, how old is the drive?
[20:22] <CDOG> Anyone know where the logfile that contains all the ubuntu user logins is located? Thanks
[20:23] <gorbierd> unop__ yes i need to copy file in alphabetical order to my flash-mp3 player
[20:23] <cook> nbkr, about three years
[20:23] <FFForever> how come everytime i add files to my thumbdrive they end up corrupt when i open them on windows????????
[20:23] <gorbierd> unop__ otherwise they copies in strange order and i can't listen them fine
[20:23] <FFForever> and yes i do eject them correctly....
[20:23] <Odd-rationale> FFForever: do they have any odd characters that windows doesn't like?
[20:23] <mango> Hi, I have a query. When apt finds that updates are available, it downloads packages using *sockets* or pass the url to some another package?
[20:23] <gorbierd> unop__ is there way to sort find output?
[20:23] <unop__> gorbierd, ok well, this then. find /path -print0 | sort | xargs -0 cp -t /path/to/newdir
[20:23] <FFForever> nope
[20:23] <Odd-rationale> FFForever: or does the parent folder have any odd characters?
[20:23] <gorbierd> unop_ bravo! thank you)
[20:23] <FFForever> nope, i am putting them on my root
[20:24] <unop__> gorbierd, although i'm not sure how well that will handle filenames with weird characters, but do give it a try
[20:24] <Odd-rationale> FFForever: is it formated fat32?
[20:24] <kane77> has anyone tried installing adobe air?
[20:24] <CDOG> Anyone know where the logfile that contains all the ubuntu user logins is located? Thanks
[20:24] <Starnestommy> mango: I think it's built-in
[20:24] <SaschaRed> I am beta testing 8.04, and an update just switched out my theme to the 7.10 theme
[20:24] <FFForever> yeah fat32
[20:24] <SaschaRed> why?
[20:24] <soundray> mango: it uses wget
[20:24] <Odd-rationale> SaschaRed: hardy discussion is #ubuntu+1
[20:25] <tmetro> After upgrading to 7.10 I'm having a problem where several daemons aren't starting after a boot, such as postfix, samba. For example, the samba log says "Errors when creating subnets: No local interfaces". Once the boot is complete, manually starting the daemons works fine. Seems the network interface is coming up late.
[20:25] <Ktron> So, in FC, output of cron jobs is mailed to root. Is there a way to get the stdout of a cron job in Ubuntu?
[20:25] <rshank> thanks SaschaRed
[20:25] <mango> soungray: Could you please provide me few links, where exactly I can see the code of this part?
[20:25] <rmiloh> using gutsy sever: is it standard to add ip's of break-in attempts (from the auth.log) to hosts.deny, or should I implement some other security, or ignore?
[20:25] <Starnestommy> CDOG: it might be /var/log/auth.log
[20:25] <gorbierd> unop__ i just tryed it works fine!
[20:26] <cook> nbkr, and now?
[20:26] <rmiloh> CDOG: i don't think its auth.log
[20:26] <soundray> mango: oops, I had assumed that it did -- now I'm not so sure. What's the problem?
[20:26] <brian_> Hey guys? I'm TRYING to set up a computer to dual boot WinXP and Ubuntu 7.10... But when I go to partition it, the "Guided - resize blahblahblah" seems to be wrong... It says its trying to change SCSI1(sda), but I'm just using a normal IDE hard drive.
[20:26] <nbkr> cook, Well you could activate smart for the drive, but I'm not sure if this is a safe operation. I haven't had any problems with it, but I wouldn't recommend it without knowing the hardware.
[20:26] <Odd-rationale> FFForever: oh sorry. I didn't see your post. umm what kind of file ist it?
[20:27] <FFForever> exe
[20:27] <cook> nbkr, but what could that be, i mean my load is higher than 3 or 2 and can this real be the hard drive?
[20:27] <mango> soundray: Just wanted to know about this thing but couldn't find any good links. :(
[20:27] <falken_> has anyone else set up their wifi account at books-a-million? The guy there only knew how to do it from windows.
[20:28] <Odd-rationale> FFForever: hmm. I don't know. I'm out of ideas. sorry.
[20:28] <mango> Starnestommy: Built -in in the sense? It uses sockets to make connections?
[20:28] <falken_> i got a steady connection but couldn't download anything
[20:28] <FFForever> yeah i tried to fix it my self... i don't wanna reinstall lol
[20:28] <nbkr> cook, I wouldn't think so, but if there isn't any process that causes the load. Hm, another idea - maybe there is rootkit on your PC. Did you run "chkrootkit" ?
[20:28] <soundray> mango: if you search again, remember to include Debian resources, as apt is something that was inherited from Debian.
[20:28] <FFForever> if i reinstall hal think it would help?
[20:28] <FFForever> or gnome?
[20:29] <Odd-rationale> FFForever: it mounts fine? doesn;t it?
[20:29] <mango> soundray: Oh, Yeah. I forgot. Thanks, let me try again. :)
[20:29] <WinterWeaver> cannot install anything with apt... is there a problem with the Ubuntu repo servers?
[20:30] <brian_> Hey guys, for some reason when I try to install Ubuntu, it lists my IDE hard drive as SCSI, or sda, and whenever I go to change any partitions, it gets an error and can't do it. What's wrong?
[20:30] <Odd-rationale> WinterWeaver: try a "sudo apt-get update" ?
[20:30] <slash> can anyone see if this number works for them?<PHONE_NUMBER>
[20:30] <thoreauputic_> WinterWeaver: try a different mirror
[20:30] <FFForever> yeah mounts fine, but screw up the writing?
[20:30] <cook> nbkr, i think where should i have got the rootkit? i dont load any warez or cracks etc
[20:31] <thoreauputic_> brian_: yes, IDE hard drives are mostly identified as sda etc now - that part is normal
[20:31] <WinterWeaver> odd-rationale: done that... I get lots of "unable to connect errors"
[20:31] <tonyyarusso> w/in 5
[20:31] <Odd-rationale> WinterWeaver: then maybe it is your mirror...
[20:32] <thoreauputic_> WinterWeaver: go to admin - software sources and choose a different mirror
[20:32] <brian_> thoreauputic: :( Any idea why I can't edit any partitions on it then? Trying to dual boot.
[20:32] <WinterWeaver> kk thanks
[20:32] <gmenelau> i have problem with the microphone
[20:32] <thoreauputic_> brian_: did you unmount the partitions before fooling with them?
[20:32] <blaisepascal> does anyone know where I can find libqt4-plugin-odbc
[20:32] <brian_> thoreauputic: I'm in the LiveCD
[20:32] <nbkr> cook, was just an idea. A rootkit would prevent htop to show the process.
[20:32] <thoreauputic_> brian_: usually you edit partitons from a live CD for that reason
[20:32] <cook> nbkr, but chkrootkit didnt find anything
[20:32] <gmenelau> someone for help?
[20:33] <sotap> hardy being delayed 3 months = April Fools?
[20:33] <thoreauputic_> brian_: unmount the partitions then
[20:33] <thoreauputic_> brian_: begore editing them
[20:33] <thoreauputic_> *before
[20:33] <WinterWeaver> odd-rationale, thoreauputic : Thanks, that helped
[20:33] <brian_> thoreauputic: How do I do that? >.< I'm still pretty new to linux
[20:33] <billy____> is there anything wrong with running 32-bit ubuntu on a 64bit machine?
[20:33] <sotap> billy____: not at all
[20:34] <billy____> will it solve any problems with my bcm4311 wireless card? cuz i can't seem to get it working in the 64 bit ubuntu
[20:35] <sotap> billy____: I'm not sure, it's possible
[20:35] <alan_m> billy____, you would have to try that out for yourself, it MIGHT but no promises here.
[20:35] <soundray> billy____: they are difficult beasts. It may be worth a try, but don't get your hopes up.
[20:35] <gmenelau> i cant record from the built in microphone of my laptop any help?
[20:35] <sidelil> excuse me, is it possible to set up a persistent live USB (as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent) on a memory card? Is there something to pay attention on, in particular during the partitioning process?
[20:35] <ceschneider> hi... I just installed 7.10 but my Xorg is eating my processor :S
[20:35] <soundray> !broadcom | billy____, have you seen this help
[20:35] <ubotu> billy____, have you seen this help: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[20:35] <alan_m> sidelil, sure, but it would be incredibly slow.
[20:36] <billy____> soundray: yea ive been working on this comp seriously for about 2 months to no avail, ive tried the resident drivers as well as ndiswrapper
[20:36] <ceschneider> more than 50% all the time
[20:36] <billy____> soundray yes ive seen it a million times
[20:36] <sidelil> alan_m, why?
[20:36] <soundray> billy____: sometimes it's easier to swap the wireless card for one that works, ie. Intel
[20:36] <billy____> soundray: no denero, i gotta work with wut i have already
[20:37] <alan_m> memory card slots seem to be slow, i have no clue why, the data transfer rate im guessing...and their not typically designed for programs and things of that nature.
[20:37] <brian_> How do I unmount partitions when I'm in the LiveCD? Ubuntu 7.10
[20:37] <sidelil> alan_m, ok, thanks!
[20:37] <soundray> billy____: it's cheaper than you may think, though
[20:38] <billy____> wuts a wireless-b ethernet bridge?
[20:38] <billy____> soundray: i seriously have like 10 cents to my name, and no job
[20:38] <billy____> im 17 and live with my mom lol
[20:38] <alan_m> billy____, know the feeling...19 and same issue.
[20:39] <ceschneider> why my org is consuming more than 50% of my procesor?
[20:39] <ceschneider> any tip?
[20:39] <ceschneider> * y Xorg
[20:39] <nick_> hi all - can anyone help me with a vpn route - I have setup a vpn connection which has connected but i cant get to an exact machine because my connection attempt is going via the net rather than the vpn connection - can anyone help
[20:39] <ceschneider> ops.. my Xorg
[20:39] <sinak> hi. when i boot kubuntu my monitor goes to power saving mode
[20:40] <sinak> and I can't' see anything
[20:40] <sotap> ceschneider: do you have compiz enabled?
[20:40] <soundray> billy____: a bridge is a device that connects two networks -- useful e.g. for connecting a wired ethernet device to a wireless network
[20:40] <sinak> the hard drive seems to work
[20:40] <soundray> billy____: b refers to the old 11 MBit/s standard
[20:41] <billy____> soundray: so i could use it to connect my laptop to my wireless network?
[20:41] <alan_m> !kubuntu | sinak
[20:41] <ubotu> sinak: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[20:41] <sinak> I know what kubuntu is
[20:41] <alan_m> im telling you, you might get more help over there than here.
[20:42] <sinak> it's not a kubuntu problem
[20:42] <ceschneider> sotap: yes.. how can I disable that/
[20:42] <soundray> billy____: if you have one already, probably yes. Buying a bridge is more expensive than buying a card that works
[20:42] <billy____> soundray: yeah i have the bridge right here
[20:42] <billy____> soundray: any idea how i hook it up?
[20:42] <sotap> ceschneider: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects, set to none
[20:43] <soundray> billy____: no. Is there no manual?
[20:43] <billy____> nope.. its a second hand linksys one that my buddy let me borrow, but i haven't seen him in yrs so ya lol
[20:43] <ceschneider> sometimes my firefox also consumes lots of processor
[20:43] <ceschneider> what could be?
[20:44] <soundray> billy____: linksys have manuals on their web site, at least for some devices
[20:44] <sotap> ceschneider: it could be flash
[20:44] <krey_> i having the same situation like ceschider
[20:44] <sarah___> hey guys, what works better with ubuntu, Intel/AMd  and Nvidia/ATI?
[20:45] <sotap> ceschneider: did disabling compiz solve the xorg problem?
[20:45] <LinTux> I have installed a packet radio program and it is asking for the address of the sound card it is using / something, any ideas?
[20:45] <soundray> billy____: but try to set your Ethernet up with a static address, <IP_ADDRESS> and try to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> with a browser
[20:45] <[FT]alex> ati drivers have issues with compiz and opengl, I think
[20:45] <billy____> soundray: yea.. i figured, just hopin that someone might have some experience with it in linux before, considering pretty much no companies support linux for one reason or another
[20:45] <sotap> sarah___: Intel and Nvidia
[20:45] <ie72> sarah___: navidia/intel works for me
[20:45] <ceschneider> sotap: nop.. still with high load
[20:47] <soundray> billy____: that's not an accurate statement -- there are plenty of companies that support Linux now in one way or another.
[20:47] <ie72> *nvidia
[20:47] <sotap> ceschneider: it persists when you restart?
[20:47] <billy____> soundray: well broadcom definately aint one of 'em lol
[20:47] <soundray> billy____: and few are as extreme in their non-support as Broadcom
[20:48] <noname6474> Hello all,
[20:48] <noname6474> Does ubuntu work *well* on a new Macbook Pro with Core2 Duo?
[20:48] <ceschneider> sotap: I just disabled the visual effects. may I restart xorg too?
[20:49] <Ktron> So, in FC, output of cron jobs is mailed to root. Is there a way to get the stdout of a cron job in Ubuntu?
[20:49] <billy____> why is bcm so retarded about open sourcing?
[20:49] <Ktron> /var/log/syslog only has what it ran, not the program's stdout/stderr
[20:49] <sotap> ceschneider: it's worth a try
[20:49] <nick_> can anyone advise how to use route to add a route to an address via ppp0 i cant get the command correct
[20:50] <ceschneider> sotap: ok... brb
[20:50] <Ktron> nick_, route add -net <IP> <MASK> dev ppp0
[20:50] <soundray> billy____: I don't think that's something we can answer, but their press office may
[20:50] <unop__> nick_, or - route add -host <ip> dev ppp0
[20:50] <billy____> yeah.. tru dat..
[20:50] <third> hello?
[20:51] <soundray> !hi | third
[20:51] <ubotu> third: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[20:51] <third> awsome hi
[20:51] <alan_m> dang, soundray beat me to it :)
[20:51] <third> hey i got a problem with ubuntu
[20:51] <soundray> !ask | third
[20:51] <ubotu> third: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[20:51] <dundel> does anybody know how to get Freshtel FT-102 USB VOIP Phone working in gutsy?
[20:51] <alan_m> dang soundray chill out lol, you and I are like competing over ubotu now :P
[20:51] <dundel> 9
[20:52] <alan_m> thats 2 commands in a ROW you've beat me to ubotu with :)
[20:52] <soundray> alan_m: 2:0 ;)
[20:52] <unop__> Ktron, why don't you just output to a file instead .. cron mutes output to prevent syslog or your mailbox becoming polluted with nonsense
[20:52]  * alan_m checks my lag
[20:52] <third> k my bad....          ok im using fisty, when i turn on desktop effects, the bar with the minmize, maxamize and close button dissapears... any reason why?
[20:52] <brian_> When I try to automatically resize the windows partition to install Ubuntu 7.10, it comes up with an error... Can anyone help me out?
[20:53] <soundray> third: that's compiz-fusion failing to start for some reason
[20:53] <third> how do i start it
[20:53] <Ktron> unop__, it was kind of nice having the log automatically fragmented, dated, indexed/etc with mail; now I either need to write code to make logs with timestamps in their name, or have one huge log
[20:53] <nick_> ktron and unop_ thanks for your help
[20:54] <linuxmonger> Is there any way to have a cron job (running as root) put a message on the screen, regardless of who is logged in? If no one is logged in, it doesn't matter if the message shows or not.
[20:54] <Jo_nass> :D
[20:55] <h4L1m> hello guys, is it possible to reinstall the grub bootloader with windows xp, because i had to reinstall windows and it deleted my bootloader so i can't startup ubuntu

[20:56] <|Dede|> Will Ubuntu 8 have NTFS drivers? So we're able to edit NTFS files?
[20:56] <alan_m> sorry for the flood with ubotu.
[20:57] <soundray> |Dede|: pretty certainly, given that 7.10 has them, too
[20:57] <soundray> !ntfs-3g | |Dede|

[21:12] <Zmine> jeremy_ that's because you're not using the  nick papisexy right now..change your nick to papisexy .. type this .. /nick papisexy
[21:12] <DRebellion> MountainX, you'll need /etc/shadow as well for the hashes
[21:13] <MountainX> soulreaper - use Synaptics Package Manager under System Admin menu in Ubuntu
[21:13] <ceschneider> sotap: can I schedule it to run once a day?
[21:13] <whisperkiller> whats going on with your hdtv?
[21:13] <linuxmonger> MountainX:  You may want to look into NIS.
[21:13] <SEJeff> MountainX, Most people use OpenLDAP to do what you're looking into doing DONT use NIS
[21:13] <jeremy_> didnt work damn it

[21:14] <MountainX> My goal is to have file sharing with similar security to what I would have with samba (but I can't use samba).

[21:14] <SEJeff> Pirate_Hunter, Intrepid Ibex
[21:14] <wildman_> hello again, while copying files over the 2nd HDD, I couldn't copy /proc (which is OK cuz its contents are generated at runtime) and /sys, what does the /sys dir have? can I just mkdir /sys on the 2nd disk and hope it will be automatically filled like /proc?
[21:14] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: intrepid ibex
[21:15] <sluimers> I had the same problem and solved it eventually, let me take a look again

[21:15] <wildman_> bye ppl, have a nice one!
[21:15] <linuxmonger> SEJeff: What's wrong with NIS? I've been using it for years without issue, between half a dozen Linuxes, Solaris and SCO - I did get rid of the SCO box though.
[21:15] <kane77> ehm.. what is ibex?
[21:15] <billy____> anyone know how to access an ip in firefox?
[21:15] <whisperkiller> anyone know how to help out yuntongpin with his hdtv?

[21:16] <kazol_> Pirate_Hunter: Are you against IP piracy?
[21:16] <pipE|carnal> #aijoara
[21:16] <sluimers> I have it installed kazol_ , so probably that's what I have done
[21:16] <SEJeff> linuxmonger, NIS uses the Domainname as a secret. Security through obscurity is proven insecure
[21:16] <kazol_> ok
[21:16] <Pirate_Hunter> kazol_: why do you ask?
[21:16] <SEJeff> linuxmonger, NIS+ is secure, but pita to setup. LDAP is secure, easy to setup, easy to manage, and supports Unix / Linux
[21:17] <DRebellion> billy____, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
[21:17] <kazol_> Pirate_Hunter: Just curious, because of your nick.
[21:17] <soulreaper> ccsm is compizconfig settings manager right
[21:17] <SEJeff> linuxmonger, NIS is not secure by design
[21:17] <kazol_> Pirate_Hunter: It sounds as if you're affiliated with the RIAA/MPAA/BSA/etc.
[21:17] <frederic> hello again. I'm looking for a program that tells me what kind of "codec" is used into a video ... where could I find that ? thanks
[21:17] <billy____> wuts the port on a wireless bridge if the ip is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:17] <Pirate_Hunter> kazol_: :D you remind me of someone i had a conversation about this it had to do with the same thing
[21:17] <Pirate_Hunter> kazol_: yup
[21:18] <DRebellion> frederic, 'file' command on *nix
[21:18] <MountainX> How much harder is Kerberos than LDAP? Just curious?
[21:18] <SEJeff> MountainX, a ton
