[00:00] <jdu> Meat, manually?
[00:00] <voice5sur5> hi
[00:00] <Meat> no, it automatically did it.
[00:00] <jdu> hmm
[00:00] <stealth-> botux: if you downloaded the right file, you should only need to double click on it (or maybe single click, not sure)
[00:01] <techsupport> how do i extract file.tar ?
[00:01] <shadow21> hello
[00:01] <linxeh> techsupport: tar xf file.tar
[00:01] <voice5sur5> how can i activate a swap partition ?
[00:01] <craigbass1976> So I've been on this roller coaster of a screen capture ride today.  Had to do windows capture, but wanted to mix down stuff in Ubuntu...  I have 4:29 video that is 975 megs.  Is that a bit ridiculous?  There's no audio.  Can I mix out to something other (smaller?) than quick time movie from open movie editor?
[00:01] <jdu> If I were to guess, I would suggest that you require modules that are now broken with your current kernel.  What happens if you boot from the older kernel?
[00:01] <stealth-> techsupport: if you double click (or maybe single) it should do it for you, for terminal, follow linxeh
[00:01] <Huufarted> voice5sur5: if you have a partition formatted as swap space, Ubuntu will use it automatically
[00:01] <stealth-> techsupport: 's method
[00:02] <Meat> I haven't tried it, nor do I know how.
[00:02] <voice5sur5> Huufarted, he didnt :(
[00:02] <majnoon> how speed up ide drives ?/
[00:02] <voice5sur5> i have an extended partition
[00:02] <jdu> Meat, in grub, you can choose an older kernel on boot.
[00:02] <Huufarted> majnoon: speed up IDE drives?  What do you mean?
[00:02] <RobotCow> stealth-, one good thing i found about combining them that way is that the it can get rid of the security/encryption of a pdf that prevents the user from copying text
[00:02] <voice5sur5> i can use swapon but in reboot it vanish
[00:02] <Meat> ah, ok. so I guess I should try that then?
[00:03] <majnoon> it slow reading THOUGHT problem was with my usb driveit was with ide drive
[00:03] <stealth-> RobotCow: i didn't know they had security :O
[00:03] <majnoon> hdparm no work i think
[00:03] <Mike_lifeguard> I'm trying to resize my Windows partition to install Ubuntu on the rest, but Gparted says there are bad sectors, and I should try to fix that with 'chkdsk /f /r' & 2x reboot.... "Then you can resize NTFS safely by additionally using the --bad-sectors option of ntfsresize. So I've done chkdsk; how do I get Gparted to use --bad-sectors option on that partition to resize it?
[00:03] <jdu> Meat, its worth trying.  You can also make it permanent by editing /boot/grub/menu.list
[00:03] <majnoon> trying to move mp3's off a small HD
[00:03] <Meat> ok thanks jdu
[00:03] <Barridus> tyler_brb, it appears there is an automagic wizard in intrepid.  i haven't used it, but it looks to do the job.
[00:03] <Meat> i'll be back
[00:04] <jdu> I'll probably be gone,  good luck!
[00:04] <Titan8990> !test
[00:05] <botux> stealth: ok thank you
[00:06] <mrwes> Where in Xubuntu is qsynaptics ? I've installed it under Ubuntu
[00:06] <sofi1> Hi Ubuntu
[00:06] <french> can someoen please help me with my wireless broadcom ?
[00:06] <stealth-> botux: you welcome :)
[00:06] <french> i have installed the drivers for hardy but it still doesn twork
[00:07] <sofi1> I am trying to inverse my axis on jaunty. Does any1 know how to do this?
[00:07] <sysdoc> !pulsaudio
[00:08] <sysdoc> !pulseaudio
[00:08] <sofi1> I mean the mouse axis reversal
[00:08] <kazaLite> hi all... anyone using O2 router?
[00:08] <sofi1> My mouse reversal used to work perfectly on hardy but not anymore...on Jaunty
[00:09] <kazaLite> how can i unblock port 25 on it?
[00:09] <sofi1> Did any1 come across such a bug on Jaunty
[00:09] <sofi1> ???
[00:09] <LjL> !jaunty
[00:09] <blueyed> sofi1: try #ubuntu+1
[00:10] <infomomo> kazaLite:  for SMTP ?
[00:10] <infomomo> kazaLite: it's most likely blocked by your ISP
[00:11] <fultonh1> sorry to spam, but the problem with my nonexisting proxy is really bothering me.  Does anyone know why apt-get is trying to connect through <IP_ADDRESS>:8888 when my universal proxy settings are direct connection, and there don't seem to be routing rules in iptables?
[00:12] <Huufarted> fultonh1: give me a min, looking something up for you
[00:12] <kazaLite> yes for smtp
[00:13] <kazaLite> its realy weired that i cannot configure my router probably
[00:13] <kazaLite> so whats the work around?
[00:13] <Huufarted> fultonh1: look at the file:  /etc/apt/apt.conf
[00:13] <donavan01> any one know what program I can use to strip the audio from a flv file and make it into an mp3 ?
[00:14] <masterkernel> KernelCheck problems/questions on #kernelcheck
[00:14] <magnetron> donavan01→ ffmpeg
[00:14] <donavan01> magnetron ... thanks
[00:15] <Huufarted> fultonh1: see anything in that apt.conf file?
[00:15] <tyler_brb> Barridus, how do i look for a login screen
[00:15] <fultonh1> huufarted: looking, but i remember it being empty
[00:16] <botux> how can you tell if the smba server is running in gnome?
[00:16] <botux> *samba
[00:16] <fultonh1> huufarted: it is definitely empty
[00:17] <donavan01> magnetron ... ok, any idea how I go about using this ... I have the plugin installed ... do I need a frontend or is it command line driven or what ?
[00:17] <Huufarted> fultonh1: in the terminal, please type this:  echo $http_proxy
[00:17] <Huufarted> botux: gnome is just a graphic front-end for an end user to use Linux.  It is independant of Samba
[00:17] <Huufarted> !gnome
[00:17] <botux> huufarted: lol
[00:18] <botux> right i was wondering if there was an easy way to see if my samba is running
[00:18] <tyler_brb> botux, ps x?
[00:18] <wahnfrieden> how do i erase a line i've typed in terminal?
[00:18] <wahnfrieden> without just backspacing
[00:18] <Ramesses> congrats ubuntu rel-team! your 9.04 beta is not beta-quality but much better [i'd say final/stable-quality] !
[00:18] <botux> tyler_brb: whats ps x
[00:18] <tyler_brb> wahnfrieden, after hitting enter?
[00:19] <fultonh1> huufarted: it is right there, so maybe the gui wizard is not modifying my gconf correctly? "http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8888/"
[00:19] <wahnfrieden> tyler before hitting enter
[00:19] <wahnfrieden> if i decide i dont want to execute that line
[00:19] <tyler> backspace?
[00:19] <tyler> what else...
[00:19] <wahnfrieden> isnt there a shortcut
[00:19] <wahnfrieden> i have to hold down backspace for 10 seconds?
[00:19] <Huufarted> fultonh1: you need to find out where the environment variable is being set.  Please see this page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting%20up%20apt-get%20to%20use%20a%20http-proxy
[00:20] <tyler> botux, is it something running on your computer
[00:20] <craigbass1976> Huufarted, I just saw your username.  hilarious...  Can I borrow that for facebook or something?
[00:20] <infomomo> wahnfrieden: Ctrl+h or Ctrl+U for the whole line
[00:20] <Huufarted> wahnfrieden: you can try pressing the down arrow
[00:20] <Huufarted> craigbass1976: I'd prefer if you didn't.  I use it in many places and so far as I know is fairly unique to me.  :(
[00:20] <infomomo> wahnfrieden: ??? ok ???
[00:21] <botux> tyler: yes samba
[00:21] <wahnfrieden> thanks
[00:21] <wahnfrieden> down arrow didnt work
[00:21] <wahnfrieden> ctrl U does
[00:21] <infomomo> wahnfrieden: duh!
[00:21] <IRiX_> yo can anyone tell me how i would got about getting a network driver for my acer aspire 8930G. The wireless is supposed to work out of the box http://www.linlap.com/wiki/acer+aspire+8930g but it dont
[00:21] <craigbass1976> Huufarted, I was kidding.  Wicked name though
[00:21] <Huufarted> thanks, craigbass1976 :)  It's there just to make people laugh.
[00:21] <craigbass1976> So I've been on this roller coaster of a screen capture ride today.  Had to do windows capture, but wanted to mix down stuff in Ubuntu...  I have 4:29 video that is 975 megs.  Is that a bit ridiculous?  There's no audio.  Can I mix out to something other (smaller?) than quick time movie from open movie editor?
[00:22] <Huufarted> craigbass1976: that question is probably a question better suited for #ffmpeg
[00:22] <craigbass1976> Didn't know there was sucha  room.  I'm off.
[00:22] <Huufarted> IRiX_: do you know what wireless chipset it is?
[00:22] <botux> im just curious if theres way to find out whats running in the background particularly to see if samba is running
[00:22] <Huufarted> IRiX_: Atheros, broadcom, or other?
[00:23] <Huufarted> botux:  ps -ef | grep samba
[00:23] <IRiX_> yeah its Intel
[00:23] <botux> Huufarted: ok cool
[00:23] <IRiX_> and according to that page its supposed to work
[00:23] <Huufarted> IRiX_: the wireless chipset, not the processor
[00:23] <macman_> i forgot
[00:23] <macman_> us dvd players are ntsc not pal right ?
[00:24] <botux> Huufarted: i got this7416  6943  0 18:23 pts/0    00:00:00 grep samba
[00:24] <botux> Huufarted: what does it mean?
[00:24] <Huufarted> botux, I gave you bad advice.  lol
[00:24] <Huufarted> hang on, Botux
[00:24] <Huufarted> cat /etc/services
[00:24] <Huufarted> bah, ignore that line
[00:24] <botux> Huufarted: was that bad lol
[00:25] <Huufarted> I'm using Samba, but can't for the life of me remember what port it's on....
[00:25] <botux> im rying to get it wokring
[00:25] <Huufarted> botux, hang on.
[00:25] <craigbass1976> Huufarted, 445?
[00:26] <botux> Huufarted: ok
[00:26] <Huufarted> craigbass1976: I thought the same, but it looks like 137
[00:26] <Huufarted> botux, run this command and paste it into http://paste.ubuntu.com   netstat -an | grep 137
[00:26] <craigbass1976> Huufarted, I'm seeing 139 too...  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/how-to-open-port-for-linux-samba-for-windows-users-152405/

[00:27] <linxeh> I hear that a google query for "what port does samba run on" gives good results
[00:27] <IRiX_> Atheros AR8121 LAN Ethernet Driver is one of them and from acers website Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 5150/5350
[00:28] <nomike> good evning!
[00:28] <linxeh> eg http://www.grc.com/port_445.htm
[00:28] <botux> Huufarted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/147283/
[00:29] <nomike> I have an Ubuntu desktop pc. I installed ubuntustudio-desktop to see what it's like. But now my default settings are all changed (gdm-greeter, mouse cursor, GTK-Theme, Wallpaper, etc.)
[00:30] <nomike> I think it's because of the "ubuntustudio-default-settings" package. I was thinking of "dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-default-settings" but the package does not exist...
[00:30] <macman_> hey all .. anyone using devde .. if so how do i get some kind of Picture into the preview menu thing so i can see it there ?
[00:30] <nomike> Any recommendations on how I could revert the old default settings?
[00:30] <Huufarted> botux: I'd have to guess that you are set up with Samba.  What exactly is the issue you're seeing?
[00:30] <mike12> Hey i have to post this in several messages so i dont get kicked. What should i do if my update manager says this when i try to update
[00:30] <mike12> Could not download all repository indexes
[00:30] <mike12> The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
[00:30] <FloodBot1> mike12: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:30] <`Borg`> so I figured out why the lib-apache-mod_python didn't work. the package misses installing a fille which needs to be present in the mods_available directory.
[00:31] <botux> Hufarted: iam trying to set it up and cant see my windows shares
[00:31] <Huufarted> !paste | mike12
[00:31] <botux> Huufarted: and id like to be able to see my linux shares on my vista box in the other room
[00:31] <mike12> ok i will thanks
[00:32] <Huufarted> botux: Oh, gotcha...  to be honest I'm not going to be much help to you. :(  I've only ever connected my WIndows PC to Linux using Samba
[00:32] <Huufarted> botux: I can help you get Vista seeing the shares, though.
[00:32] <botux> Hufarted: that would be cool
[00:32] <clearscreen> is it possible to uninstall a package without removing all packages that depend on it? I want to REINSTALL something but it wants to remove everything that depends on it
[00:33] <Huufarted> botux: paste the contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf using paste.ubuntu.com
[00:33] <fusa> botux: read this post by iowan, helped me a lot http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=998084
[00:33] <fusa> also be sure ports 135 137 138 139 and 445 are open on your firewall to your network
[00:33] <mike12> http://paste.ubuntu.com/147285/
[00:34] <Huufarted> botux: You can feel free to use my smb.conf file as a guide on how to make yours.  It's very easy to set up.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/147287/

[00:35] <Huufarted> fultonh1: did you get it straightened out?
[00:35] <Huufarted> mike12: are you able to connect to the internet with Firefox or anything like that?
[00:35] <mike12> Huufarted
[00:35] <mike12> yes
[00:35] <linuxguymarshall> Can someone help set up my Windows Mobile phone so I can file transfer with Bluetooth?
[00:36] <botux> Huufarted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/147290/
[00:36] <Huufarted> mike12: type this command at the terminal and paste the results into the pastebin for us:  sudo apt-get update
[00:37] <Huufarted> botux: you're using the default file.  Back it up, replace it with mine, and modify the [video] section to suit your own needs
[00:37] <fultonh1> huufarted: nearly fixed.  i just manually unloaded the driver and I'm still looking for where it is set.  I might just put "unset $http_proxy" in one of my init scripts and see if that works.
[00:37] <botux> Huufarted: was thinking the same thing lol
[00:38] <Huufarted> fultonh1: it MIGHT work, but please see this link and check the locations they specify for it:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting%20up%20apt-get%20to%20use%20a%20http-proxy

[00:38] <ttuttle> Hi.
[00:38] <Huufarted> botux: samba can be very powerful, but it is very very functional as well with only minimal settings
[00:38] <mike12> http://paste.ubuntu.com/147291/
[00:38] <Huufarted> mike12: please paste the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
[00:39] <ttuttle> I currently run Gentoo, but I'm thinking about switching to Ubuntu.  Is there an easy way to take all the files currently on my root partition and put them in a subdirectory, then install Ubuntu on that partition without reformatting.
[00:39] <botux> Huufarted: will all the subdirectories show up automatically in like in your video folder
[00:39] <lasivian> how can I pull up a previous version of a package?
[00:39] <Huufarted> mike12: nevermind ignore that last line from me
[00:39] <Huufarted> botux, yessir
[00:39] <botux> Huufarted: cool
[00:39] <lasivian> I need a different version of Firefox but I don;t see any version numbers except 3.0.8 anywhere
[00:39] <mike12> ok Huufarted
[00:39] <IRiX_> Huufarted: i take it that last bit of info i give you dont help
[00:39] <ttuttle> (I don't mind dropping into a terminal -- I just need to make sure the installer *won't* reformat that partition.)
[00:39] <Huufarted> botux lol, go put that in there, restart samba with:  /etc/init.d/samba restart    and try it out, see hwo it looks
[00:40] <Huufarted> IRiX_: I apologize, but I didn't see the info.  :(  Please resend?

[00:40] <IRiX_> thanks
[00:40] <IRiX_>  Atheros AR8121 LAN Ethernet Driver is one of them and from acers website Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 5150/5350
[00:40] <botux> Huufarted: ok
[00:40] <IRiX_> like it says it should work
[00:41] <botux> Huufarted do i have to mount the windows share each time i boot linux?
[00:41] <IRiX_> ahhhhhhhhhhhh i had so much problems trying to install ubuntu
[00:41] <Huufarted> IRiX_: I have a potential fix for you.  ath5k drivers worked wonders for me with a similar Atheros chipset.  http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
[00:42] <zealiod_> can any one tell me why port 5555 isn't forwarding - as per line 59 and 60... what am i missing? thanks http://pastebin.com/d1f07e84c
[00:42] <Huufarted> IRiX_: download that file, extract it all, change into the directory and type this:  make && sudo make install && sudo make unload && sudo make load
[00:42] <bamboo> hello
[00:42] <MariachiAC> Hello eveyrone. I have a friend who is trying ot get an Atheros AR5007 working in Ubuntu. How can he accomplish this? He is accepting phone calls who ever can help him. He is blind.
[00:42] <Huufarted> botux: mounting the windows share, I don't know.  My smb.conf file will only help you view your Linux shares from Windows
[00:43] <IRiX_> right give me a sec
[00:43] <Huufarted> botux: I believe you'll have to mount the smb:// shares to access them
[00:43] <botux> Huufarted: my bad i had a brain fart
[00:43] <Huufarted> IRiX_: it will take awhile to compile them (the first 'make' command)
[00:43] <Huufarted> botux: no worries.  :)
[00:45] <IRiX_> that link aint working for me
[00:45] <IRiX_> downloading on a windows pc
[00:45] <IRiX_> got it now i thin
[00:46] <IRiX_> think*
[00:46] <Huufarted> IRiX_: then you downloaded it wrong.  :)  From the terminal in Linux:  wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
[00:47] <IRiX_> errrrr i dont have internet in the linux installation
[00:47] <IRiX_> currently downloading in windows then transfer
[00:47] <Huufarted> IRiX_: ah, gotcha.
[00:47] <Huufarted> ok, sounds good Irix.
[00:47] <IRiX_> even the ethernet isnt working
[00:47] <IRiX_> its weird
[00:47] <fusa> botux: you can mount windows shres on boot in /etc/fstab One of my entries is: //main/c/    /media/MainC        cifs    guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[00:49] <botux> ok

[00:49] <botux> Huufarted: i got an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/147298/ when restarting samba
[00:50] <Huufarted> botux, restart it with sudo
[00:50] <botux> oh ok
[00:50] <fusa> you might want to check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[00:50] <Huufarted> IRiX_: Again, retarded move on my part.  Use this link:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/147300/
[00:52] <botux> i jeep forgetting about sudo lol
[00:52] <insomnia> I'm reading this doc for the WUSB54GC wireless adapter on Ubuntu 8.10 and we get to the part of bringing up the interface, but it says:  ifconfig wlan0 up ; wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[00:52] <IRiX_> ah ok thanks
[00:52] <botux> Huufarted: now i should be able to see them in windows right?
[00:52] <plagerism> Anyone know how I would force bluetooth encryption on a connection?
[00:52] <Huufarted> botux, I should think so, yes.
[00:52] <insomnia> I'm following this doc:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=923387&page=4
[00:53] <Huufarted> botux, that second section in that smb.conf file I gave you sets up all of your users in Linux to also have a share for themselves that should also show up
[00:53] <insomnia> Downloaded the rt73 driver, compiled successfully, installed successfully, modprobe'd successfully
[00:53] <Barridus> what's the console command to load the search program (not the tracker one, the regular)
[00:53] <Huufarted> botux: it loads them dynamically so you don't have to set up a share for each user manually (but you can still do taht if you want)
[00:53] <MariachiAC> Did anyone see my post. I'm blind so its hard to go through all the chat messaes.
[00:53] <Barridus> nm that, i was dumb
[00:53] <Huufarted> Barridus: search for what?  A file on your hard drive?
[00:53] <daftykins> insomnia, type "ifconfig -a" , the interface may be called 'wifi0' or something other than 'wlan0'
[00:53] <Huufarted> MariachiAC: what post?
[00:54] <insomnia> daftykins: it isn't.  I have lo, eth0, pan0
[00:54] <insomnia> pan0 doesn't get an ip.
[00:54] <Huufarted> insomnia, does the wifi adapter show up when you type:  lsusb
[00:54] <RedMushroom> what is the terminal command that'll install apache web server? i think it's "sudo apt-get apache2" but i'm looking to confirm this
[00:54] <insomnia> Huufarted: I see linksys, but no specific information
[00:54] <Huufarted> RedMushroom: sudo apt-get install apache2
[00:54] <RedMushroom> Huufarted: thank you
[00:54] <MariachiAC> Huufarted: the post about a friend wanting to get an atheros AR5007 card working with ubuntu.
[00:55] <insomnia> When I pull the adapter, I see it drop out in the message log.  When I plug it in, its detected
[00:55] <daftykins> it is RedMushroom
[00:55] <Huufarted> MariachiAC: I have the same card and I used ath5k drivers.  They can be found http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
[00:55] <IRiX_> Huufarted: apparently the kernel is old, have to user the older version
[00:55] <daftykins> RedMushroom, for reference, "apt-cache search x" searches all available packages for "x"
[00:55] <Huufarted> IRiX_: no worries.  :)  You should find them on http://linuxwireless.org
[00:55] <insomnia> dmesg shows [  922.513767] rt73: init ; [  922.513807] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt73
[00:55] <Huufarted> MariachiAC: what version of Ubuntu?
[00:55] <IRiX_> ah getting it from the same location
[00:56] <RedMushroom> daftykins: ah, ty. is there any way to specify a search parameter for specific kinds of software?
[00:56] <daftykins> not that i know of off hand i'm afraid
[00:56] <MariachiAC> Huufarted: he currently has Ubuntu hardy installed.
[00:56] <sirjoebob> hello all. anyone know if it is possible to make adobe air play nice without Gnome/KDE? I love open box but miss tweetdeck...
[00:56] <Huufarted> MariachiAC: please see this page:  http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#DownloadlatestLinuxwirelessdrivers
[00:56] <IRiX_> would you have any ideas on why mines doesnt work out of the box, as i said according to that page it should
[00:57] <MariachiAC> Huugarted: thank you. I'll look at it.
[00:57] <IRiX_> plus i cant find anything on the internet to do with this problem
[00:57] <Huufarted> MariachiAC: once you download the appropriate version for that kernel, see this page:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/147300/
[00:57] <Huufarted> IRiX_: you're not using Intrepid?
[00:57] <mimiloon> hi everybody, i'm trying to make a software (VirtualBox) load automatically when the system boots up in ubuntu 8.1; i added the command to make it start in the session (sudo VirtualBox) but when i rebooted the system, it didn't load; any suggestions what i might be doing wrong?
[00:58] <botux> Huufarted: i wnet and looked in the netwokrign on my vist machine and i cant see the lunx shares
[00:58] <magnetron> mimiloon→ starting it with sudo will break it
[00:59] <Huufarted> botux, try going to this server at the run command:  \\ip_address
[00:59] <pford> What's better, GNOME or KDE?
[01:00] <IRiX_> Huufarted: sorry for asking Intrepid? currently a noob but i hoping thats going to change
[01:00] <MariachiAC> Huufarted: thank you. I'll look at both of these pages.
[01:00] <IRiX_> ah its the latest version

[01:01] <insomnia> grrrrr.
[01:01] <insomnia> does the same damn thing no matter what
[01:01] <mimiloon> magnetron: if i start the VirtualBox as a regular user, i can't add any USBs to the guest OS; is there a way to overcoming this?
[01:01] <tyler> ok my bluetooth just worked a min ago now it doesnt show up...
[01:02] <loke> I am facing a problem with Hibernate. My system fails to resume from hibernate. In fact I donot even see the message during the boot, which I used to : trying to resume ...
[01:02] <uloke> Anyone?
[01:03] <IRiX_> Huufarted: ah no using version 8.04
[01:03] <IRiX_> time for an update
[01:04] <Sh3r1ff> IRiX_: or it could be a personal choice to stick with an lts ;)
[01:04] <nhuisman> does anyone know where the configuration data from the ati config control center is located?
[01:04] <nhuisman> i would have thought /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:04] <nhuisman> but I don't see anything in there about my multi-monitor setup.
[01:04] <tyler> ok my bluetooth just worked a min ago now it doesnt show up as having an adapter
[01:04] <ederson> Boa noite
[01:04] <bonhoffer> i installed all the xorg stuff and my wacom bamboo still is not working
[01:04] <bonhoffer> it was working before i set it up with my vbox
[01:05] <ederson> Alguem do brasil???
[01:05] <uloke> Do we still see the message trying to resume from image, if hibernated, or has this been disabled in hardy?
[01:06] <tyler> ok my bluetooth just worked a min ago now it doesnt show up as having an adapter someoen help this was why i left linux last time...
[01:06] <bonhoffer> do i have any troubleshooting options?
[01:06] <nhuisman> ne1?
[01:07] <mimiloon> magnetron: thanks for your help in the right direction
[01:07] <IRiX_> errrr i thot i had the latest version burned, obviously not lol
[01:07] <Brain> hey, i got a question, i just install ubuntu amd64-server and I installed kde w/kdm however... i can't cut n paste into terminal any ideas how to correct this?
[01:08] <nhuisman> does anyone know where the config settings for the ati control center are located?
[01:08] <nhuisman> they aren't in xorg.conf
[01:08] <nhuisman> which is f'ing weird
[01:08] <uloke> Does anyone know which packages should be installed for the default ubuntu Hibernate to work.
[01:08] <eseven73> !ohmy | nhuisman
[01:08] <uloke> Any clue would be appreciated.
[01:09] <Sh3r1ff> nhuisman: use aticonfig to configure ati 3d card
[01:09] <usser_> nhuisman, nothing is in xorg.conf nowadays, its in the process of being abandoned
[01:09]  * usser_ sighs
[01:09] <Brain> uloke i think it depends on chipset but i believe it is a kernel option...
[01:10] <insomnia> btw, is there a way to hide joins/parts/quits in pidgin in Ubuntu?
[01:10] <bonhoffer> what is crazy is that my wacom bamboo was working great -- now it doesn't pick up at all
[01:12] <Dreamglider> i have a laptop here where the f and g keys are dead, can i tell ubuntu to use some other keys to act as  f and g key instead ? I was thinking about using the one ctrl key and one Windows key (there are two of each).
[01:13] <khaplja> where is the sound volume control in ubuntu?
[01:13] <khaplja> xubuntu that is
[01:14] <botux> Huufarted: i keep getting an error
[01:14] <RedMushroom> what's the terminal command to uninstall a program?
[01:14] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom, remove
[01:14] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom, sudo apt-get remove package
[01:14] <RedMushroom> ty
[01:14] <BePhantom> RedMushroom sudo apt-get remove
[01:15] <Dreamglider> np
[01:15] <BePhantom> also purge
[01:16] <IRiX_> Huufarted thanks for the help, hopefully i'l get this sorted, i need to wait to 8.10 to download, only on a 512Kb connection so its going to take a bit of time
[01:16] <insomnia> Is there a wireless adapter that WORKS with Ubuntu 8.10?
[01:16] <botux> Huufarted: still there?
[01:16] <tyler> my bluetooth worked a few mins ago and now it wont show up as a device anything i can do?
[01:17] <botux> insomnia: im using abelkin
[01:17] <botux> insomnia: it installed automatically
[01:17] <kejava> insomnia: what hardware?  usb, pci, mini-pci, or cardbus?
[01:18] <insomnia> kejava: I dont' care, anything that works.
[01:18] <RedMushroom> i just installed GADMIN-PROFTPD w/ the add/remove applications program, and when i try to start it i'm getting an error saying "Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)". does anyone know how to fix this?
[01:19] <insomnia> We got the Linksys WUSB54GC USB thing because ubuntu.com said it worked "out of the box"
[01:19] <insomnia> but, um.  Their concept of "out of the box" is apparently different from mine.
[01:19] <LordZakc> Hi, im having difficulty installing ubuntu 8.10 on my pc. I boot up to the cd and click install ubuntu. Then after I chose my timezone, the screen turns blue and skips the partition then goes straight to the log in. Anyone know what is going on?
[01:19] <insomnia> I went and got a driver rt73 and compiled it, inserted the module, try to bring up the interface, doesn't work.
[01:19] <salmon> does anyone out there know if there is a program like after effects for ubuntu?
[01:19] <insomnia> says no such interface
[01:20] <botux> my belki n usb adapter works fabulous it installed automatically during ubuntu 8.10 install
[01:20] <insomnia> so at this point, I'm thinking Red Hat might be a better option.
[01:20] <ndan> grr ok i've been using mpd... love it. restarted today and it works for a bit then suddenly the first song in the playlist starts another mpd is listed in ps -A and then sonata isn't working restart mpd and it fails... ne idea?
[01:20] <insomnia> and this join/part/quit stuff is making me insane.  The default IRC client pidgin is apparently not even configurable
[01:21] <ndan> i use Xchat for ic
[01:21] <ndan> irc
[01:21] <jrib> insomnia: check your plugins.  Also, have you read the wireless documentation on the wiki?
[01:21] <insomnia> ndan: yea, it's not installed in Ubuntu apparently.
[01:21] <insomnia> jrib: of course I have.
[01:21] <insomnia> I'm reading it right now.
[01:21] <insomnia> I followed it step-by-step
[01:21] <jrib> insomnia: and?
[01:21] <omniter> has anybody noticed that you can't select files by typing their name when running nautilus without SU access?
[01:21] <insomnia> root@greg-desktop:/usr/src/rt73-cvs-2009040817/Module# ifconfig wlan0 up

[01:21] <insomnia> root@greg-desktop:/usr/src/rt73-cvs-2009040817/Module#
[01:22] <jrib> omniter: no
[01:22] <ndan> insomnia sudo apt-get install xchat  much better then pidgin
[01:22] <omniter> jrib, that's how it is for me :S
[01:22] <jrib> insomnia: more context...
[01:22] <ndan> for irc that is
[01:22] <insomnia> jrib: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=923387&page=4
[01:22] <insomnia> that's the context
[01:22] <omniter> it's very strange... i can only type filenames when i run nautilus as root
[01:22] <insomnia> followed the doc step-by-step
[01:22] <RedMushroom> does anyone know why GADMIN-PROFTPD would return an error saying "Failed to execute child process 'su-to-root' (No such file or directory)?
[01:22] <insomnia> go down to the part where it says bring up the interface, and it doesn't go up.
[01:22] <omniter> and the Scripts context menu item is only visible when i run as root as well
[01:22] <jrib> insomnia: can you link me to the docs you are following?
[01:22] <Sh3r1ff> insomnia: do you have a wlan0 in /etc/networking/interfaces?
[01:23] <omniter> it doesn't make any sense
[01:23] <insomnia> I just did.
[01:23] <insomnia> Sh3r1ff: I don't see one, no.
[01:23] <jrib> insomnia: I don't see a link to the wiki there
[01:24] <Sh3r1ff> insomnia: you can't bring it up if it doesn't exist
[01:24] <kejava> insomnia: you sure you have the rt73.bin file?  you can check this way:
[01:24] <kejava> ls /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/rt73.bin
[01:24] <insomnia> root@greg-desktop:/etc/network# ls /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/rt73.bin
[01:24] <insomnia> /lib/firmware/2.6.27-11-generic/rt73.bin
[01:24] <kejava> insomnia: may also give some good info aobut the firmware in dmesg when you load the module
[01:25] <insomnia> kejava: It doesn't.  [ 1706.262167] rt73: init
[01:25] <insomnia> [ 1706.262209] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt73
[01:25] <kejava> insomnia: damn :(
[01:25] <insomnia> as far as not having a link to the wiki, I don't see this particular USB adapter in a wiki
[01:25] <insomnia> its in that thread
[01:26] <Shivam> anyone know anything about mysql and php?
[01:26] <insomnia> I started at the wiki for wireless networking and got linked off to that page
[01:26] <jrib> insomnia: well you're confusing me now, because we started this conversation with "have you read the docs on the wiki"
[01:26] <insomnia> jrib: I start at the beginning.  At the wiki.  I got linked off to this thread from the wiki
[01:27] <jrib> insomnia: hope you sort it out
[01:28] <insomnia> jrib: well thanks for the help?

[01:30] <vitaliy_> anyone help
[01:30] <usr13> vitaliy_: With what?
[01:30] <Sh3r1ff> vitaliy_: instal the proprietary ati driver and run aticonfig to configure the card
[01:31] <vitaliy_> WOW
[01:31] <sebsebseb> !lamp |  Shivam
[01:31] <otani> is there no longer a linux-amd64-k8-smp kernel for 8.04?

[01:31] <rdumas> has anybody seen the new ubuntu 9.4 yet
[01:31] <sebsebseb> rdumas: of course been using it
[01:32] <sebsebseb> !jaunty > rdumas
[01:32] <vitaliy_> i need help installing my drivers im a windows user this is my first time running linux i have ubuntu 8.10
[01:32] <usr13> !64bit | otani
[01:32] <Sh3r1ff> vitaliy_: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ?
[01:32] <rdumas> sebsebseb: how do I do that
[01:32] <sebsebseb> rdumas: don't get it yet
[01:32] <vitaliy_> ya last time i did that my whole screen went black
[01:32] <_Brun0_> How can I auto-login into IceWM without gdm? I don't want to use GDM at all.
[01:32] <vitaliy_> and i had to reinstall ubuntu
[01:33] <sebsebseb> rdumas: wait for the release, well a bit after the April 23rd release date,  some good reviews,  and do clean install with Ext4
[01:33] <SwissChse> on x64 hdparm reports that my sda/sdb (soft raid) devs are using 16bit mode. is this normal?
[01:33] <rdumas> sebsebseb: yea but how is it, when it is released will it be worth it
[01:33] <sebsebseb> rdumas: probably not,  except for Ext4
[01:33] <sebsebseb> rdumas: ,but Ext4 still has some issues I think, and may not be worth it in your case
[01:34] <rdumas> what do you mean Ext4
[01:34] <Sh3r1ff> btw, does anybody know when the package flasplugin-nonfree will be fixed? or if not?
[01:34] <sebsebseb> rdumas: new file system
[01:34] <LasBuntu> how can I find out what version numbers are available for old packages>
[01:34] <usr13> !flashplugin
[01:34] <unko> whats the channel for jaunty?
[01:34] <sebsebseb> unko: #ubuntu+1
[01:34] <rdumas> mine is running good so I think I will wait
[01:35] <sebsebseb> rdumas: your new to Ubuntu?
[01:35] <rdumas> sebsebseb: yes fairly new
[01:35] <Sh3r1ff> usr13: i know all that, but the package still points to flash 9 while the current version is now flash 10, package needs to be fixed (registered bug), but there is no update on it, so just wondering if anybody had some news
[01:35] <sebsebseb> rdumas: you can upgrade and do 9.04 on Ext3, but then you won't get the  faster file system,  and can only get partial Ext4 suppourt in  Ext3
[01:35] <vitaliy_> is ATI fglrx a good driver for radeon x1650 pro cuz this is what my ubuntu came with
[01:35] <LasBuntu> I need to install an old version of Firefox but I don;t know what to try and download
[01:36] <sebsebseb> rdumas: to be honest 9.10 does not seem worth it,  except for Ext4
[01:36] <sebsebseb> rdumas: 8.10 and 8.04 are good enough really
[01:36] <Sh3r1ff> vitaliy_: i use fglrx and have ati radeon 9800 pro, don't know for your exact card though
[01:36] <ederson> Algum brasileiro
[01:36] <usr13> Sh3r1ff: Hey, I'm just curious.  I don't know either.
[01:36] <ederson> ?
[01:36] <rdumas> sebsebseb: well I have 8.10 and it is working well, so I think I will hold off
[01:36] <sebsebseb> rdumas: 9.04 I meant
[01:36] <coreyman> whats a good video editor for .ogv .... i just want to crop the video and add music
[01:36] <usr13> Sh3r1ff: What we just saw was probably the latest news on the issue.

[01:37] <arrrghhh> is there a way to configure touchpad sensitivity?  my gf is freakin out cuz her touchpad "wasn't this sensitive in windows" and she keeps farkin up her typing...
[01:38] <arrrghhh> BiosElement, you talking about /etc/apt/sources.list?

[01:38] <BiosElement> arrrghhh, Yeah, Thanks. :)
[01:38] <rdumas> sebsebseb: the only problem I have is intermittent Internet
[01:38] <tyler> any way i can reset my bluetooth with a terminal command?
[01:39] <Sh3r1ff> usr13: hopefully with the new release it will be fixed, although i'm still on the 8.04 lts
[01:39] <usr13> Sh3r1ff: You are in a good place for now.
[01:39] <Guest41235> hey guys.......I have finally installed compiz fusion and am in need of assistance in figuring out how to make the "cube" work properly?   Anyone know the keys to make the cube work?
[01:39] <usr13> Sh3r1ff: So you play some game with flash player that does not work?
[01:40] <sebsebseb> rdumas: what you mean  intermittent internet?
[01:40] <Dreamglider> i have a laptop here where the f and g keys are dead, can i tell ubuntu to use some other keys to act as  f and g key instead ? I was thinking about using the one ctrl key and one Windows key (there are two of each).
[01:40] <Sh3r1ff> usr13: what doesn't use flash on the web? ;)
[01:40] <jtaji> LasBuntu: you could just download the linux package from here, unpack it to your home directory and run it right from there http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
[01:41] <rdumas> sebsebseb: sometimes it will work for a long time, and sometimes it take 4 or 5 times to get it to work
[01:41] <Guest41235> hey guys.......I have finally installed compiz fusion and am in need of assistance in figuring out how to make the "cube" work properly?   Anyone know the keys to make the cube work?
[01:41] <sebsebseb> rdumas: wireless?
[01:41] <homanj> curious, why does the update manager tell me i have a update waiting, but using apt-get it says "1 not upgraded"
[01:41] <rdumas> sebsebseb: yes wireless, but my mail and pidgin keep working all the time
[01:41] <homanj> package is nvidia-common
[01:42] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  rdumas
[01:42] <rdumas> sebsebseb: yes wireless
[01:42] <Sh3r1ff> Guest41235: install compizconfig-settings-manager and fiddle with the settings
[01:43] <LasBuntu> jtaji: thanks! :D
[01:43] <tyler> any way i can reset my bluetooth with a terminal command?
[01:43] <Sh3r1ff> Guest41235: it will add an entry in System > Preferences where you can change all the setings for compiz
[01:43] <aprilhare> hello: I have a problem. after running openoffice.org 3 and firefox for a while and quitting both, i find my system sluggish. i run system monitor and discover the process ld-linux.so.2 using 1.3 GB of memory. can i kill ld-linux.so.2 safely? why does it form, and how can i stop it?
[01:43] <rdumas> ubottu: yes i have tried all the documentation and examined everything I have even got my IP involved
[01:43] <vitaliy_> why when i enable desktop effects it says desktop effects could not be enabledÉ
[01:43] <vitaliy_> ?
[01:43] <Guest41235> Sh3rlff:  I have done that.....and have checked the "cube" and "rotating cube"........but still unsure how to make it do its thing........lol
[01:43] <Sh3r1ff> vitaliy_: ati and compiz don't go to well together
[01:44] <vitaliy_> but i installed the driver already
[01:44] <french> hey i am tryign to install drivers for ubuntu hardy 8.04 i have bcm 4318, i installed b43-fwcutter and confused on waht to do next
[01:44] <vitaliy_> there is no way to get compizÉ
[01:44] <vitaliy_> ?
[01:44] <Sh3r1ff> Guest41235: ctrl + alt + right or left arrow
[01:44] <jtaji> homanj: probably because it wants to remove a package, but it won't do that by default, try 'sudo aptitude full-upgrade' in a terminal and see what it wants to do
[01:45] <Guest41235> Sh3rlff:  Only thing that does is move from one window to another.........I have set it up to have four windows instead of two.
[01:45] <vitaliy_> Sh3r1ff: there is no way to get compiz and ati working togetherÉ
[01:45] <vitaliy_> ?
[01:46] <Sh3r1ff> vitaliy_: you could try to follow a dodgy how to you find on google, but i don't advise that
[01:46] <vitaliy_> Sh3r1ff why
[01:46] <Guest41235> vitaliy:  I have an ATI card and mine is working......."all i need now is to know the right keys to make it work"........you must enable 3d accelaration.......install fglrx
[01:47] <zed> anyone feel like helping me to get kismet working in ubuntu using a d-link card
[01:47] <Sh3r1ff> vitaliy_: now your 3d cards works, you just don't have compiz, if you do that, you could end up with both not working
[01:47] <stooj> Can anyone tell me why upgrade manager is trying to install nvidia-common & nvidia-180-modaliases on my ATI machine?
[01:47] <vitaliy_> guest41235: i did enable fglrx how do i enable 3d exelerationÉ
[01:47] <bonhoffer> whoo -- control + r zoomed me way in, cool, but how do i zoom out?
[01:47] <Sh3r1ff> Guest41235: it's when you install the proprietary driver to have 3d acceleration that compiz stops working
[01:48] <bonhoffer> help i am seeing a huge screen!
[01:48] <vitaliy_> LOL
[01:48] <bonhoffer> words are 4 inches tall!
[01:49] <Guest41235> are there any settings in ccsm that will enable to rotating cube?
[01:49] <vitaliy_> LOL
[01:49] <homanj> jtaji: thanks. that seems to have worked.
[01:49] <StooJ> Guest41235, Yes.
[01:49] <bonhoffer> i can't click on anything
[01:50] <StooJ> Guest41235, In the desktop section is an option called "Rotate Cube"
[01:50] <bonhoffer> is that what i did -- how do i zoom out?
[01:50] <Guest41235> Stooj:  I have that checked........what do I do next?
[01:51] <upgrdman> i had a hard drive with a damaged partition table or file table, it was one hdd with a single ntfs partition. i archived the hdd with dd if=/dev/sda of=file ... any ideas on how to attempt file recovery?
[01:51] <rdumas> In the synaptic manager, when you look under uninstalled.  If you find a game in there that you think you would like can you or should I say how do you install it and when you do install will it show up in applications under games?  any help
[01:51] <StooJ> Guest41235, then assuming you have compiz working, you should be able to get the cube
[01:52] <bonhoffer> seriously, is this a gnome issue  -- i can't google this because i am stuck -- i hit something by accident and i zoomed in too far
[01:52] <StooJ> Guest41235, try mousewheeling on the desktop
[01:52] <bonhoffer> mousewhell doesn't help
[01:52] <Guest41235> Stooj:  mousewheeling?
[01:52] <StooJ> Guest41235, alternatively, hold CTRL + ALT + Mouse button 1 to drag the cube around
[01:52] <StooJ> Guest41235, do you have a scrollwheel on your mouse?
[01:52] <Guest41235> Stooj:  not using a mouse.....am on laptop
[01:53] <bonhoffer> StooJ, does nothing
[01:53] <StooJ> Guest41235, Try using the arrow keys then. CTRL + ALT + Right arrow key
[01:53] <Guest41235> Stooj:  I do not know how actually "create" the cube........how do you get the cube there???? and then tinker with it
[01:54] <cypher1> bonhoffer: which ubuntu are you using ?
[01:54] <Guest41235> Stooj:  I do that and I just move from one screen to the other
[01:54] <bonhoffer> cypher1, 8.10
[01:54] <bonhoffer> i am freaking zoomed in like a mad man
[01:55] <StooJ> Guest41235, easy on the punctuation, please. Multiple question marks won't get your question answered any quicker.
[01:55] <StooJ> Guest41235, first of all, is compiz working?
[01:55] <Guest41235> Stooj:  I apologize.
[01:56] <bonhoffer> cypher1, can you help -- i am dead in the water, all zoomed in like this
[01:56] <Guest41235> Stooj:  As far as I know........I can load ccsm
[01:56] <Green1> Can i put windows 7 in virtualbox on ubuntu?
[01:56] <StooJ> Guest41235, Check that effects are enabled. Go to System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects

[01:59] <bonhoffer> resolution:    82x82 dots per inch
[01:59] <Guest41235> Stooj:    Under Visual Effects?
[01:59] <bonhoffer> and : resolution:    89x87 dots per inch
[01:59] <StooJ> Guest41235, Yes. What is it set to?
[01:59] <bonhoffer> cypher1, this is really odd -- i just zoomed in like crazy -- maybe this is  an nvidia thing
[01:59] <Guest41235> Stooj:  Extra
[02:00] <StooJ> Guest41235, OK, grand.
[02:00] <StooJ> Guest41235, close this down and open up ccsm
[02:00] <Guest41235> Stooj:  ok done.

[02:01] <arrrghhh> anyone know if GPointingDeviceSettings is in the repos?
[02:01] <arrrghhh> i can't find it.
[02:01] <StooJ> Guest41235, click the Desktop size tab and give yourself 4 horizontal virtual desks
[02:01] <Guest41235> Stooj:  ok done.
[02:01] <sliverchair> my svn client (installed via aptitude) is 1.5.1, what subclipse will I install?
[02:01] <bonhoffer> cypher1, any idea?
[02:01] <Guest41235> Stooj:  ok done.
[02:02] <StooJ> Guest41235, Set horizontal to 4, vertical t 1, number of desktops to 1
[02:02] <Guest41235> Stooj:  is done
[02:02] <StooJ> Guest41235, come back out of there then and go to Desktop Cube in the Desktop section
[02:02] <_Brun0_> How can I auto-login without using a login GUI mananger?
[02:02] <StooJ> Guest41235, it has sensible defaults so just make sure it's ticked
[02:03] <ramontayag> hi everyone. installed xubuntu on an old compaq presario 1200. seems to work fine until i get to the login screen - it's blank. knowing the LCD is fine, I plugged in an external monitor then restarted the gdm (ctrl+alt+backspace), then the login screen appeared on the laptop fine! I've tried toggling the external monitor (fn+f3) but nothing happens.
[02:03] <bonhoffer> ahh . .  . win + 1 fixed the problem!!!
[02:03] <Guest41235> Stooj:  it asks me to disable desktop wall
[02:03] <StooJ> Guest41235, Perfect
[02:03] <bonhoffer> looks like i have Compiz <-- what is that?
[02:03] <hjgh> can anyone help me get opengl working?
[02:03] <StooJ> Guest41235, Desktop wall is disabled if you ahve the cube
[02:03] <StooJ> *have
[02:03] <hjgh> i used aticonfig but it gave me an error about driver section missing in zorg
[02:03] <_infidel> hello apt crashed during an install and now keeps me from installing something else. It keeps on tryin setting up the first application whereafter it crashes. I tried apt-get autoremove, clean, autoclean. Any suggestions
[02:03] <hjgh> xorg conf
[02:04] <Guest41235> Stooj:  ok done
[02:04] <StooJ> Guest41235, So, let it disable Desktop wall, make sure Rotate Desktop is ticked and then try spinning the cube (default keys are CTRL + ALT + LEFT/RIGHT arrows)
[02:04] <eseven73> !fixapt | _infidel

[02:04] <EdgEy> anyone know if there's a way to set up hotkeys for rhythmbox? or if not a recommendation of some media player with hotkeys, volume up/down etc
[02:05] <Guest41235> Stooj:  I can move to all four different screens
[02:05] <StooJ> Guest41235, Good. That sounds like your cube
[02:05] <StooJ> Guest41235, there's a spinning animation, right?
[02:06] <Guest41235> Stooj:  Great.  that is what I would like to be able to accomplish
[02:06] <mrwes> Ubuntu user here, using Xubuntu for the first time; I noticed the desktop icons for Network and Computer run Nautilus, but Places | Home run thunar -- why is that?
[02:06]  * Sh3r1ff is looking at his cube go round and round and round and ...
[02:06] <Guest41235> Stooj:  it does not "spin" around.......it just kinda flips from one to another
[02:06] <Lint01> mrwes: those dialogs are from gnome
[02:06] <thor^^> hi
[02:07] <Lint01> mrwes: nautilus is hard-coded
[02:07] <Guest41235> Stooj:  I did not know if I needed windows open on all four screens......
[02:07] <EdgEy> mrwes both run thunar for me
[02:07] <mib_qf4g7f> hi is anyone familiar with quirks? http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-index.html
[02:07] <thor^^> I got a 1600x1200 screen, ubuntu don't seem to register that, how do i force it into 1600x1200 resolution?
[02:07] <StooJ> Guest41235, nope
[02:07] <mrwes> Lint01, Ok..got it, anyway to make Places | Home run Nautilus too?
[02:07] <Mike_lifeguard> Will the ubuntu installer offer to resize your windows partition if there's enough contiguous free space on the disc?
[02:07] <nofrak> can somebody point me to a good set of instructions on packaging a python library as a .deb?
[02:07] <mib_qf4g7f> yes Mike_lifeguard
[02:08] <mrwes> Nautilus runs on my cifs shares icon too
[02:08] <StooJ> Guest41235, you have the cube, if you're wanting to manually spin it yourself your best bet is to use a mouse :p - But, try CTRL + ALT + Mouse button 1 and move your finger about on your trackpad
[02:08] <Mike_lifeguard> mib_qf4g7f: OK, so if it's not showing up for me, what should I do to create more contiguous space? defrag, remove Windows' pagefile... anything else?
[02:08] <psychic> i need ubuntu tech assistance
[02:08] <Kelen> Is that possible to downgrade version 9.04 to 8.04 or 8.10? any one got idea?
[02:08] <mib_qf4g7f> Mike_lifeguard: if what's not showing up for you? the option in the installer?
[02:08] <Mike_lifeguard> !ask | psychic
[02:08] <matt> How well does virtualbox work on 64bit?
[02:09] <Guest41235> Stooj:  that is it
[02:09] <Guest41235> hahahhahahhahaaa
[02:09] <Mike_lifeguard> mib_qf4g7f: yeah, exactly... I get guided - use the whole drive and manual (which cannot resize anything)
[02:09] <Guest41235> Stooj:  How about transparency?
[02:09] <psychic> ok  how come my application button dissapeared from the toolbar
[02:09] <Guest41235> Stooj:  Is there a way to make the cube smaller?
[02:10] <mib_qf4g7f> Mike_lifeguard: you are aware that will formatt your hard drive, right? try the first of last option as they won't delete any data.
[02:10] <hjgh> can anyone tell me what driver i download from ati for this chipset 10:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev 02)
[02:10] <Mike_lifeguard> mib_qf4g7f: I thought the whole point of resizing the windows partition was to save that data & use the resultant space for ubuntu
[02:10] <matt> How well does virtualbox work on 64bit?
[02:11] <thor^^> matt: it's not bad, just remember to get 64 bit version
[02:11] <mib_qf4g7f> Mike_lifeguard: exactly, but you said you used "guided - use whole drive" which won't resize the windows partition.
[02:11] <matt> thor^^: Of virtualbox or the "guest os"?
[02:11] <Xeron> guys i realy need help here i plug in my mp3 player into a usb slot and it comes up as perl and i get htis mesage when i try to acess it :(
[02:11] <Xeron> http://imagebin.org:80/44845
[02:11] <thor^^> virtualbox
[02:11] <sebsebseb> matt: pretty good, but  you may have to  enable hardware virtualization in your bios, before 64bit vm's will even work
[02:12] <Mike_lifeguard> mib_qf4g7f: Oh, I didn't actually use it. I couldn't find the resize option so I quit the installation until I could figure it out.
[02:12] <thor^^> the guest can be anything
[02:12] <mib_qf4g7f> Mike_lifeguard: if you DO want it to resize windows and use the extra space for ubuntu, that would go with the first option.
[02:12] <mib_qf4g7f> oh
[02:12] <matt> sebsebseb: well, if i've used 32bit virtualzation before....
[02:12] <EdgEy> is there any way to remove the base apps installed with ubuntu? for example gedit, nautilus, pidgin and other gtk apps
[02:12] <sebsebseb> matt: yeah 32bit no problem
[02:12] <EdgEy> removing ubuntu-desktop does nothing it seems
[02:12] <sebsebseb> EdgEy: of course just remove them normalely
[02:12] <Xeron> anyone know how to coppy mustic to mp3 player using linux?
[02:12] <salvadorfl> hello
[02:13] <sebsebseb> EdgEy: ,but why would you want to?
[02:13] <sebsebseb> salvadorfl: hi
[02:13] <matt> sebsebseb: Well, what I mean, if I've used 32bit virtualbox before, then 64bit should work without having to do anything different, right? other than use a 64bit host os and install the 64bit version of virtualbox?
[02:13] <Mike_lifeguard> mib_qf4g7f: but... the first option is "use the whole drive" or whatever... ie erase everything and replace Windows w/ ubuntu O.O
[02:13] <EdgEy> sebsebseb i am running xfce (by installing xubuntu-desktop)
[02:13] <EdgEy> so there are replacements for a lot of them
[02:13] <kimws1901> kk
[02:13] <sebsebseb> matt: I just told you,   install  64bit host OS,  install 64bit  virtualbox, but before your vm  will even work,  you may have to enable hadware virtulization in your bios
[02:14] <Mike_lifeguard> mib_qf4g7f: there /is/ no 'resize' option... probably because I don't have enough contiguous space and/or I have bad sectors?
[02:14] <salvadorfl> hello i need help with vncviewer
[02:14] <sebsebseb> matt: otherwise when you try to run a 64bit vm, it will be like your running on the wrong archectecture
[02:14] <StooJ> Guest54828, transparency is in the Desktop Cube options
[02:14] <salvadorfl> can some body help me?
[02:14] <sebsebseb> salvadorfl: why who is vncing you or who are you vncing?
[02:14] <matt> sebsebseb: do most bios's support this?
[02:14] <mib_qf4g7f> Mike_lifeguard: that's the first option?! well then the last option should be "use the most continuous free space" which should also be alright. if you have more than 1 drive then it may not install on the drive with windows and thus won't show up on the installer
[02:14] <sebsebseb> matt: if your computer is 64bit, well then yeah I guess
[02:14] <kimws1901> hello~
[02:15] <sebsebseb> matt: vt whatever it's called.  in the settings for the vm, you will see what I mean,  if you get the error message
[02:15] <salvadorfl> i want to connect to my brothers computher
[02:15] <greencookie> I just installed checkstyle from CLI (apt-get install checkstyle). can anyone tell me how I could run it? Thanks.
[02:15] <matt> sebsebseb: THanks, I'll take a look and hope it works. would it be something along the lines of being titled "hardware virtualization"?
[02:15] <Mike_lifeguard> mib_qf4g7f: no, I only get 2 options... the other one is 'manual' - which cannot resize the partitions
[02:15] <kimws1901> he
[02:15] <kimws1901> 복잡하다
[02:15] <sebsebseb> !vnc | salvadorfl:
[02:15] <salvadorfl> i put vncviewer ip-adress:5900
[02:15] <kiwii> anyone offers me help~~
[02:16] <Suikwan> Can anyone help with configuring wpa supplicant?
[02:16] <sebsebseb> matt: when you got a vm set up,  you can access it's settings, and  you got to enable the feature there I think, as well as your bios possibily
[02:16] <salvadorfl> it gives me a error could't convert to host
[02:16] <kiwii> my GPU nvidia GeForce4 MX440 3D AGP does not work well..
[02:16] <sebsebseb> matt: I am going to assume that you want to virtual machine Windows, but why?
[02:16] <kiwii> what driver should i choose~~
[02:16] <Mike_lifeguard> So, I guess additional options for partitioning appear in the installer based on what disc space is available - is that so?
[02:16] <sebsebseb> !wpa |  Suikwan
[02:17] <sebsebseb> Mike_lifeguard: yeah I guess
[02:17] <kimws1901> hello~
[02:17] <sebsebseb> kimws1901: hi

[02:17] <Mike_lifeguard> sebsebseb: ok, thanks.  I have an ubuntu box with an Atheros card running the madwifi drivers. Is it possible to use wlanconfig to create two VAPs, one that acts as an Ap, and the second that forwards (bridges) packets to the actual ap. ????????

[02:26] <Acerone> Im wondering if it is possible to build a wireless 802.11g repeater. I have an ubuntu box with an Atheros card running the madwifi drivers. Is it possible to use wlanconfig to create two VAPs, one that acts as an Ap, and the second that forwards (bridges) packets to the actual ap. ????????
[02:27] <Mocs> Acerone: yes
[02:27] <jdu> Acerone, sure it must be possible if the chipset supports it.  I have only used dd-wrt
[02:27] <usr13> Acerone: I have a slackware box that is an AP,  and has Atheros Card
[02:27] <usr13> Acerone: Works fine
[02:27] <Mocs> Acerone: as long as you bridge the connections, it should work
[02:27] <Acerone> so I can create two Vaps on one card?
[02:27] <usr13> Acerone: I just use NAT
[02:27] <Sh3r1ff> Acerone: you'll have to split the interface
[02:28] <Acerone> Mocs: Do both vaps need to be on the same channel?
[02:28] <_ohm> I'm using the Logitech Dual Action game pad and ubuntu only makes one of the two joysticks pressure sensitive. How can I change this?
[02:28] <Mocs> Acerone: That I can't say... there is a utility that configs it automatically... lemme see if I can find it
[02:29] <Mocs> While I do... UO Server?  Anyone?  Bueller?
[02:29] <Sh3r1ff> Acerone: try first on the same channel, if it works, a different, if not, you know the answer ;)
[02:29] <Acerone> usr13: how do you setup NAT? will brctl take care of that for me?
[02:29] <Acerone> Sh3r1ff: k
[02:29] <Acerone> im working on a shell script to handle all the commands for me right now. . .
[02:30] <Sh3r1ff> Acerone: my guess would be they can have different channels, but i never tried something like that
[02:30] <Acerone> Sh3r1ff: well, ill give it a try

[02:35] <Overand> Huh - maybe that's not the issue.
[02:35] <zaccour> jdu i dont want 2 user accounts
[02:35] <jdu> zaccour, move everything to the new one, delete the old one.
[02:36] <jdu> zaccour, it is probably possible to undo the changes though, I am just unfamiliar to all that it changed.

[02:37] <usr13> Acerone: iwlist ; iwconfig etc...

[02:47] <Ropechoborra> usr13, something colorful i ment
[02:48] <usr13> Ropechoborra: tty
[02:48] <Ropechoborra> apt-get install tty ?
[02:48] <ACiD1> is there anyway of knowing where a trojan is installed on ubuntu?
[02:48] <musikgoat|main> lol
[02:48] <usr13> Ropechoborra: Ctrl-Alt-F6
[02:48] <charles1> ok thanks and now what friends http://pastebin.com/d4a37d30e
[02:48] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: you don't install trojans in ubuntu
[02:48] <Neros> How about a usb pam module? I know I've seen one
[02:48] <usr13> Ropechoborra: Ctrl-Alt-F6  will put you in terminal mode.  Full screen.
[02:48] <ACiD1> musikgoat|main:  apparently i have one.
[02:49] <Neros> Yeah linux dosent get trojans... it gets rootkits :P
[02:49] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: says who?
[02:49] <ACiD1> well, QuakeNet is under the impression i have a trojan
[02:49] <ACiD1> and.
[02:49] <Acerone> usr13: ok so I have to if: ath0 (the repeater access point) and ath1 (connected to the real ap), what is the easiest way to bridge them? Using iptables NAT? Dont I have to bridge them?
[02:49] <ACiD1> I am running off livecd right nwo and i can connect no problem
[02:49] <kelito> My goodness...I think I found the chat.
[02:49] <_ohm> I'm using the Logitech Dual Action game pad and ubuntu only makes one of the two joysticks pressure sensitive. How can I change this?
[02:49] <Ropechoborra> usr13, thanks
[02:49] <ACiD1> on the hd installation, it says i have a trojan and ive been g-lined
[02:49] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: so quakenet says your ubuntu OS has a trojan?
[02:49] <ACiD1> yes
[02:50] <usr13> /usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -o ath1 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[02:50] <kelito> I thought unbuntu was somewhat free of trojans?
[02:50] <_ohm> I'm using the Logitech Dual Action game pad and ubuntu only makes one of the two joysticks pressure sensitive. How can I change this?
[02:50] <ACiD1> well i have one apparently and clamav couldnt find it
[02:50] <eseven73> !virus | kelito
[02:50] <wolter> is there an official soundpack that includes new email sounds?
[02:51] <hjgh> trojans?
[02:51] <_Counterspell> Is there a CLI Bit Torrent client I can have running in the background?
[02:51] <kelito> Okay...will do...thanx!
[02:51] <_ohm> I'm using the Logitech Dual Action game pad and ubuntu only makes one of the two joysticks pressure sensitive. How can I change this?
[02:51] <jdu> _Counterspell, irssi, you can then use screen
[02:51] <hjgh> kelito what trojans?
[02:52] <ACiD1> i apparently have a trojan
[02:52] <sebsebseb> ACiD1: what makes you think that?
[02:52] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: i've never heard of that,  this post says you can check the length of your ban:  A G-Line can be anything from 1 minute to Infinite. Best to goto GameSurge >> G-line Query and it will scan your IP and give you an answer as to the length of the ban.
[02:52] <ACiD1> scroll up sebsebseb
[02:52] <Neros> _ohm what applications are you trying to use it with?
[02:52] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: http://gamesurge.net/utils/gline/
[02:53] <sebsebseb> ACiD1: lol probably not
[02:53] <ACiD1> musikgoat|main: ill explain this to you. Yesterday I tried connecting, i got g-lined for the trojan. i tried again today, same thing, 4 hours later to now, i just tried connecting and yeah
[02:53] <_ohm> Neros, currently just mupen64plus, i ran jscalibrator and joystick and got the same results. For some reason only one joystick is pressure sensative
[02:53] <Neros> ACiD just out of curiosity... does quakenet run natively on linux or do you have it ran through wine?
[02:53] <ACiD1> im using pidgin, native.
[02:53] <sebsebseb> ACiD1: or maybe if you done something totally newbie such as running Ubuntu with no hardware firewall, and  a password such as 123 for the user account
[02:53] <ACiD1> my password isnt somehting as 123 its complicated.
[02:53] <RedMushroom> what's the default port that pure-ftpd runs on?
[02:53] <sebsebseb> ACiD1: and then someone cracked you,  which is also pretty unlikely
[02:54] <usr13> Ropechoborra: 21
[02:54] <RedMushroom> isn't it 21?
[02:54] <RedMushroom> usr13: ty
[02:54] <ACiD1> ok well, lets just say i have a trojan or some kinda virus, how can i tell where it is and how to remove it?
[02:54] <Counterspell> Is there a command-line Bit Torrent client I can use to download torrents in the background?
[02:54] <Neros> ACiD: WTF does pidgin have to do with my question?
[02:54] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: clean install
[02:54] <ACiD1> pidgin is native
[02:54] <Ropechoborra> usr13, wrong tab?  How can I change this?
[02:56] <ACiD1> ugh
[02:56] <usr13> ACiD1: is a troll yes..
[02:56] <ACiD1> ill just uninstall
[02:56] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: thats all that error is indicating, that you have made too many connections to the irc server in too short of time
[02:56] <ACiD1> no
[02:56] <ACiD1> the first time it happened it said trojan
[02:56] <ACiD1> g-lined.
[02:56] <ACiD1> simple as that
[02:57] <usr13> ACiD1: Good idea.
[02:57] <porobo> hi people im new to this but i think its cool
[02:57] <LjL> ACiD1: g-lined from freenode doesn't necessarily mean YOU have a trojan. it might simply mean the IP address you were using is listed on some blacklists. what did the message actually *say*?
[02:58] <ACiD1> it had some error ID number along with it but pidgin cleared it quick
[02:58] <sebsebseb> porobo: ok good, but is there anything you want help with
[02:58] <sebsebseb> ?
[02:58] <ACiD1> if my ip was on a black list, i wouldnt be able to connect via live cd to quakenet
[02:58] <root> hi
[02:58] <root> iwant you help
[02:58] <sebsebseb> root: hi
[02:58] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: have you considered attempting to pull a new IP (if you have a dynamic from your ISP) and connecting with a different user/pass?
[02:58] <root> i want crack wep
[02:58] <ACiD1> but i am connnected now.
[02:58] <porobo> nothin yet

[02:59] <_ohm> I'm using the Logitech Dual Action game pad and ubuntu only makes one of the two joysticks pressure sensitive. How can I change this?
[02:59] <Neros> _ohm I suggest you make a forum post about it in great detail
[02:59] <_-RED-_> hello
[03:00] <sebsebseb> _-RED-_: hi
[03:00] <_-RED-_> hi
[03:00] <ACiD1> well is there any reputable Anti-Virus you'd reccomend i use from now on?
[03:00] <_-RED-_> so how hard is it to get svideo working in ubuntu 9.04 lol
[03:00] <musikgoat|main> !av | ACiD1
[03:01] <musikgoat|main> clamav
[03:01] <Neros> _-RED-_ Depends... what kind of card do you have?
[03:01] <sebsebseb> ACiD1: the  Linux anti virus programs, as far as I know only really pick up on Windows virsues, which don't effect Ubuntu anyway
[03:01] <mdg> I'm having trouble getting my Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard working - computer does not recognize it.
[03:01] <_-RED-_> umm let me look
[03:01] <ACiD1> well then, i am the first to ever have a ubuntu virus.
[03:01] <sebsebseb> !keyboard |  mdg
[03:01] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: you said you can connect
[03:01] <josephnexus> hello everyone
[03:01] <ACiD1> yes
[03:01] <usr13> ACiD1: Do you not understand?
[03:01] <sebsebseb> josephnexus: hi
[03:01] <ACiD1> what do i not understand?
[03:02] <knucklebrawler> i want to put the totem-xine desktop icon on the toolbar, but i dont know where to find it or what it looks like. can someone help please?
[03:02] <randal> hey i just installed screenlets but how do you enable differnt ones nothing happons when i click on it
[03:02] <usr13> ACiD1: You have miss-diagnosed the problem.
[03:02] <josephnexus> I'm trying to help a friend out, he upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and now flash wont' play, it starts to load, but hangs and causes firefox to hang
[03:02] <josephnexus> anyone have any idea?
[03:02] <Neros> ACiD did you read the av link that ubottu keeps giving you? It explains about viruses and their non-role in the linux desktop
[03:02] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: just because quakenet refers to your error as the same one that could happen when a trojan infects a pc, doesn't mean you have a trojan
[03:02] <mdg> My USB Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard is not recognized by computer at all.  Any suggestions to fix this?
[03:02] <Mike_lifeguard> Are the mailing lists indexed anywhere? specifically ubuntu-users
[03:02] <ACiD1> alright well ill do this.
[03:02] <ACiD1> ill log off livecd
[03:02] <Neros> josephnexus: 64 or 32bit ubuntu and which flash?
[03:02] <ACiD1> reconnect through hd installation and see if it happens again
[03:02] <josephnexus> 32 bit
[03:03] <knucklebrawler> where can i find the totem-xine icon?
[03:03] <ACiD1> as i am connected now, same ip same username
[03:03] <josephnexus> and the latest version in the repos
[03:03] <ljsoftnet> josephnexus upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 messes up a lot of things, one of them is that
[03:03] <ACiD1> so wouldnt that make sense, it should work now via hd installation?
[03:03] <josephnexus> any ideas how to resolve it?
[03:03] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: you should ask for help from quakenet ops
[03:03] <usr13> ACiD1: If you have a network problem just restarting will not solve the problem.
[03:03] <randal>  hey i just installed screenlets but how do you enable differnt ones nothing happons when i click on it
[03:03] <josephnexus> i've been able to resolve any other issues
[03:04] <_-RED-_> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)
[03:04] <ljsoftnet> josephnexus i recommend back up all your files and start a clean install of 8.10
[03:04] <deniz> do ubuntu version upgrades break often?
[03:04] <musikgoat|main> ACiD1: if you can keep a connection now, go to their support and explain the problem, and try to investigate it
[03:04] <knucklebrawler> is there an icon look for totem-xine?
[03:04] <ACiD1> alright musikgoat|main, ill try and ask them.
[03:04] <Neros> josephnexus have you tried reinstalling flash?
[03:04] <josephnexus> yes
[03:05] <usr13> ACiD1: Check what  you have not and duplicate it when you reboot and run from HD.  ifconfig etc.
[03:05] <josephnexus> i'm suspecting it is something to do with flash and pulseaudio
[03:05] <maodun> how can i print information about a package
[03:05] <maodun> in apt-get
[03:06] <Guiri> Hi. I remember an Ubuntu Community page that gave a "find and chmod" command to set files to 644 and directories to 755 in a web directory
[03:06] <Guiri> anybody know what I'm talking about?
[03:06] <sebsebseb> Guiri: no
[03:06] <josephnexus> guiri, i wish I did
[03:06] <josephnexus> sounds cool
[03:06] <bretcolin> i just got here what
[03:06] <maodun> sorry, how can i print version information and further descriptive info about a package using apt-get
[03:06] <josephnexus> backing up and reinstalling would really be difficult in this case, especially to fix flash
[03:07] <maodun> oh, apt-cache show
[03:07] <maodun> nm
[03:07] <matthewg42> in KDE, how can I browse for bluetooth devices?  I used to be able to put bluetooth:/ in the location bar a long time ago, but now it doesn't work.

[03:09] <josephnexus> anyone have any ideas why my flash would be having problems?
[03:09] <timoguin> I just updated to Jaunty, and I can't get jockey to activate the Nvidia 180 driver, or any other for that matter. When I click activate, it appears to download and install without error, but it doesn't actually activate it.
[03:10] <linny2> josephnexus: what are the symtoms ?
[03:10] <sebsebseb> !jaunty |  timoguin
[03:11] <ACiD1> brb
[03:11] <timoguin> sebsebseb: Thanks. I just found the jockey log file too.
[03:11] <sebsebseb> timoguin: ok
[03:11] <josephnexus> linny2: when I go to a site like pandora.com or youtube.com, flash starts, begins to load, and then hangs near the end of the loading
[03:12] <josephnexus> in pandoras case, when it is about half way loaded
[03:12] <josephnexus> and in youtube's case, when the video is about to start
[03:12] <southKorea> join off-topic <- is this right ?
[03:12] <southKorea> join #offtopic
[03:12] <sebsebseb> josephnexus: you can get  one diretly from Adobe.  and try alternatives such as Gnash and Swfdec

[03:13] <chetnick> Hello everybody
[03:13] <josephnexus> we had everything working great in 8.04
[03:13] <josephnexus> upgraded to 8.10
[03:13] <josephnexus> and now it is doing what I mentioned
[03:13] <josephnexus> so I've tried reinstalling it
[03:13] <josephnexus> and such
[03:13] <sebsebseb> josephnexus: well 8.04 has certain advantages over 8.10,  and  9.04 is out soon
[03:13] <josephnexus> but still no luck, does the same thing
[03:14] <linny2> josephnexus: did you manually delete the .so file before you reinstalled once i had a few in there and had probs
[03:14] <josephnexus> ah
[03:14] <josephnexus> so you think i need to delete the .so files?
[03:14] <josephnexus> where would they be located by default
[03:14] <josephnexus> ?
[03:15] <linny2> you can only try  het :)
[03:15] <thinkl1> Hi all. I'm trying to rescue a dell-mini-12 with a usb external hard drive (I have no CD or big enough flash drive). I have a bootable .img file, but the ImageWriter tool only writes to usb flash drives. Can I use my hard drive as a rescue disk instead?
[03:15] <josephnexus> let me try that really quick
[03:15] <josephnexus> hang on
[03:17] <kelito> Hello Dreamglider!
[03:17] <Dreamglider> Hello
[03:17] <josephnexus> hi there
[03:17] <kelito> I am new here....you?
[03:17] <Dreamglider> yes me. :P
[03:18] <Dreamglider> i have been here a little while i guess
[03:18] <kelito> Well, it is new to get used to.
[03:18] <Dreamglider> kelito, it is indeed
[03:19] <kelito> I am trying to find out how to rotate my cube...on Ubuntu.
[03:19] <baz> i use ubuntu desktop and I have a vmware machine running ubuntu server (no gui). What is an elegant/easy way to share a folder so that I could deploy some test files to it? Security is not a priority since its in a local VM...
[03:19] <kelito> Well, it will take time and practice for these things.
[03:20] <Dreamglider> kelito, i dont use compiz, but if i remember correct you hold down Ctrl-middle mouse button or somthing like that
[03:20] <clearscreen> baz: VMWare supports sharing folders
[03:20] <kelito> No, I am sorry those keystrokes do not work.
[03:21] <Dreamglider> maybe Ctrl-alt-leftklick try some of those combos, you have to enable the cube in compiz as-well
[03:21] <twb> What is apt-spy called on Ubuntu?
[03:21] <kelito> I have enabled in compiz however
[03:21] <kelito> I still have problems there..
[03:22] <bonhoffer> does anyone know how to make my wacom dedicated to one screen only
[03:22] <nebbes> So when I try to launch a game in wine it wont launch because I dont have permission to use nvidia (ACCESS VIOLATION), any help?
[03:23] <bonhoffer> i just add another screen and it transitions when halfway on one screen
[03:23] <Dreamglider> I finally figured you how to change the key's lay out, got my the 1, f and g keys mapped to Atl_L, Super_L and Control_L but when i reboot the keys are back at their default place so i need to make these commands to run everytime i start ubuntu > http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/147369/
[03:23] <pacol> siema
[03:24] <pacol> yo
[03:24] <Dreamglider> i meant  R not L :P
[03:24] <kelito> I have not used those keystrokes yet.
[03:24] <sanzky> hello. does anyone knows which package do I need to burn mp3 to an audio cd in brasero?. It says gstreamer cannot handle the mp3
[03:25] <sanzky> btw, using jaunty
[03:25] <clearscreen> !jaunty | sanzky
[03:25] <kelito> Ok Dreamglider...going to go read my Umbunt manual.
[03:26] <nebbes> So why do I get an access violation from nvidia every time I try to launch a game
[03:26] <Dreamglider> kelito, try ctrl+alt+left click
[03:26] <kelito> I did to no avail.
[03:27] <nebbes> " NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied)."
[03:27] <Dreamglider> kelito, /j #compiz
[03:27] <kelito> I seem to have a conflict with my settings.
[03:28] <kelito> That was a bad command Dreamglider.

[03:39] <mimiloon> can anyone help me plz? i have a small problem with my wifi card; it works but not to it's full potential. it's atheros N series (AR5008 (AR5416)). it doesn't use the N protocol in ubuntu 8.1, any thought of getting this to improve? i have the drivers from windows but when i installed the drivers using ndiswrapper (GUI), it say the hardware is present but i can't activate it. also, i have another wifi card built in the laptop (ABG)
[03:40] <arkanabar> Is Jaunty going to be LTS?
[03:40] <eseven73> no
[03:40] <eseven73> sadly
[03:40]  * arkanabar sighs.
[03:40] <arkanabar> Any idea when the next LTS release will be?
[03:41] <nebbes> Still getting "NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied)." Help please
[03:41] <crdlb> 10.04
[03:41] <eseven73> yea 10.04 sounds about right
[03:41] <crdlb> arkanabar: if they made every other release LTS, LTS wouldn't mean much
[03:41] <grendal_prime> anyone have a screen reader type app?
[03:42] <grendal_prime> i need something that will read the conversation window of an im client...like pidgin
[03:42] <Dreamglider> I finally figured you how to change the key's lay out, got my the 1, f and g keys mapped to Atl_L, Super_L and Control_L but when i reboot the keys are back at their default place so. i need to make these commands to run everytime i start ubuntu -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/147369/
[03:43] <grendal_prime> put them in a bash script
[03:43] <grendal_prime> then run it rc.local  you could put each of the commands into the rc.local file as well.
[03:44] <elvedin> Can I boot into single user mode with 8.10 without being asked for a root password?
[03:44] <Dreamglider> grendal_prime, so i just paste the lines in rc.local and reboot ?
[03:44] <mcantor> Can anyone help me get my sound working in Ibex?
[03:44] <grendal_prime> Dreamglider: ya.
[03:44] <grendal_prime> that should do it.
[03:45] <Dreamglider> grendal_prime, alright giving it a try
[03:45] <eseven73> mcantor, try setting all your sound settings to ALSA then run sudo alsa force-reload
[03:45] <zetheroo> I am trying to do this command here: sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.sh -d
[03:45] <zetheroo> but all I get is a "command not found" error
[03:45] <zetheroo> please help
[03:46] <mcantor> eseven73: http://pastebin.com/md08659a
[03:46] <Hobz> zetheroo, have you tried putting bash or sh in front of it?
[03:46] <eseven73> zetheroo, don't put the -d at the end, just take it out
[03:46] <elvedin> zetheroo: sudo sh Alsa....
[03:46] <zetheroo> eseven73: makes no diff ...
[03:46] <Joker_-_> My computer (Q6600 4gb - running mythbuntu Jaunty) crashed twice today. I'd like to know if anyone else has suffered from simillar problems?
[03:46] <elvedin> Maybe you need to do a chmod u+x on it first
[03:46] <zetheroo> elvedin: ok will try
[03:46] <mcantor> eseven73: Hmm.  Progress, though.  mpg123 plays now.
[03:46] <eseven73> :)
[03:47] <elvedin> Joker_-_: What sort of crash?
[03:47] <mcantor> eseven73: Thank you. How did you know to do that...? Is there a setting I can change that will fix it permanently?
[03:48] <eseven73> it's an old trick, not sure of a permanent solution
[03:48] <Joker_-_> elvedin: can't really tell, it was crashed when I tryed to moove the mouse. Nothing happend from keyboard or mouse input aswell as ssh connection or ping reply.
[03:48] <aspoor> how do i speed up Samba to NTFS file transfers?
[03:48] <zetheroo> sudo sh ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.sh -d works
[03:48] <Hobz> congratulations
[03:48] <zetheroo> elvedin: thanks
[03:48] <mcantor> eseven73: The thing is, my sound settings were all already set to alsa.
[03:48] <`brandon`> How do i make the screen water
[03:48] <Hobz> zetheroo, Didn't I tell you to do that way back?
[03:48] <eseven73> mcantor, yeaqh but pulse screws things up
[03:48] <eseven73> yeah*
[03:48] <eseven73> pulseaudio
[03:48] <`brandon`> you know ccsm or what ever?
[03:49] <elvedin> Joker_-_: dmesg might have something, but do a memtest
[03:49] <Denmeister> anybody know how to edit touchpad sensitivity in 8.10?  all the links I'm finding via google tell me to edit the section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but that seems to have been deprecated
[03:49] <mcantor> eseven73: It used to be that "sudo kill -9 `pgrep pulse`" would fix things.
[03:49] <Joker_-_> elvedin: will do... thx for the inputs
[03:49] <mcantor> eseven73: I still don't fully understand why my laptop needs alsa AND oss AND pulse.
[03:50] <elvedin> If you haven't upgraded your drivers recently or overclocked, your RAM is usually the cause
[03:50] <eseven73> mcantor, well Im no audio guru, I just know of some of the fixes :)
[03:50] <zetheroo> Hobz: thank you too
[03:50] <mcantor> eseven73: You got me running, man.  Thanks a million!
[03:50] <eseven73> anytime :D
[03:50] <Hobz> zetheroo, you're welcome
[03:51] <Joker_-_> elvedin: I downgraded nvidia drivers yesterday as someone told me the overlay function was working in 173... I was using the lastest from nvidia.
[03:54] <eTiger13_> i am running ubuntu as a web server. my box has 2 ethernet ports. the server is connected to a fiber-connected switch. can i somehow bridge the 2 ethernet ports to increase my server's connection speed to the switch?
[03:55] <Dreamglider> grendal_prime, nothing happend at login the keys were not reassigned
[03:56] <Hobz> eTiger13_, you could limit one port to upload and one to download, depends on what kind of traffic you are expecting
[03:56] <mimiloon> can anyone help me plz? i have a small problem with my wifi card; it works but not to it's full potential. it's atheros N series (AR5008 (AR5416)). it doesn't use the N protocol in ubuntu 8.1, any thought of getting this to improve? i have the drivers from windows but when i installed the drivers using ndiswrapper (GUI), it say the hardware is present but i can't activate it. also, i have another wifi card built in the laptop (ABG)
[03:56] <eTiger13_> Hobz, how would i go about that?
[03:56] <coreyman> how do i use mencode
[03:57] <Hobz> eTiger13_, there are a lot of variables
[03:57] <Hobz> eTiger13_, how much experience do you have?
[03:57] <baz> has anyone used ANT in eclipse?
[03:57] <waan> I'm trying to upgrade to Jaunty but there is no upgrade showing in the update manager, and dist-upgrade says there are no updates
[03:58] <eTiger13_> Hobz, ive setup and run servers before, but only using 1 ethernet port
[03:58] <sebsebseb> !jaunty |  waan
[03:58] <waan> sebsebseb, that would of course be why :P
[03:59] <waan> I thought it was already released
[03:59] <Hobz> eTiger13_, you'd probably have to tweak the router settings as well
[04:00] <cchapman> anyone here have experience with haproxy?
[04:00] <waan> sebsebseb, Thanks
[04:00] <sebsebseb> waan: which release were you trying to upgrade from?
[04:00] <sebsebseb> waan: also instead of an upgrade, give it a bit of time after release, and some good Ext4 reviews,  but then do a clean install with that
[04:00] <Kewldude> hello i need some help to understand this os i just converted from the lousy vista to ubuntu
[04:01] <mranostay> is anyone else having issues with 2.6.29 custom kernel and update-initramfs in Intrepid
[04:01] <mranostay> ?
[04:01] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: ok  you installed it?
[04:01] <waan> sebsebseb, I'm using 8.10
[04:01] <Kewldude> yes using it now
[04:02] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: yeah  need to know how to install stuff, and what to install, I can help with both
[04:02] <nebbes> I have to do "sudo killall pulseaudio" "sudo alsa force-reload" every time I restart, how could I do that automatically?
[04:02] <cchapman> Kewldude: you are using haproxy?
[04:02] <waan> sebsebseb, I might try Xubuntu instead with a fresh install
[04:03] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: and this site  covers  a lot of the basics, but not everything http://www.ubuntuguide.org
[04:03] <sebsebseb> waan: right, but I mean clean install for the Ext4 file system
[04:03] <Kewldude> ok basically I want to install a wireless router to it and make it secure but my whole idea is for a good wifi setup but i know nothing about this system
[04:03] <sebsebseb> waan: Ext3  can only get  partial Ext4 supourt
[04:03] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: oh right, and wireless's can be an issue on Ubuntu as well
[04:03] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  Kewldude
[04:04] <vieq> hi all, how do I make sure kqemu module is loaded with the kernel
[04:04] <vieq> or it loads when I run qemu?
[04:05] <waan> sebsebseb, yep thanks for that
[04:05] <botux> sebsebseb
[04:05] <sebsebseb> botux: what?
[04:05] <nebbes> I have to do "sudo killall pulseaudio" "sudo alsa force-reload" every time I restart, how could I do that automatically?
[04:05] <Kewldude> ok thanks seb is this software ubuntu really secure or do i have to add stuff to make it safe
[04:05] <botux> sebsebseb: good news i got samba configured
[04:05] <`brandon`> how do i install Net::IRC
[04:06] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: all you need is a  enabled hardware firewall, and  good Ubuntu password that isn't say 123, and you should be fine
[04:06] <sebsebseb> botux: ok good
[04:06] <botux> sebsebseb: only thing is i still cant see my linux shares on my vista computer and vice versa
[04:06] <Kewldude> ok where do i access that in here
[04:06] <Im_Toast> The only difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu is Kubuntu uses KDE and Ubuntu uses GNOME right?
[04:06] <sebsebseb> botux: have you made shared folders in Vista?
[04:06] <Hobz> I'm having trouble with my touchpad, can anybody help me?
[04:07] <botux> sebsebseb: yes
[04:07] <Joker_-_> what should I grep from dmesg to see errors (error doesnt return anything)
[04:07] <sebsebseb> Im_Toast: yeah basically, and  KDE apps can run in Gnome, just as Gnome apps can run in KDE
[04:08] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: if you got a router you probably got a hardware firewall, whatever the OS it is recommended to have one of those
[04:08] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: hardware firewalls are better than software firewalls
[04:08] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: and Linux has software firewall stuff to, but that's differnet from Windows
[04:08] <Kewldude> yeah the ubuntu version 8.10lts is what i have on this computer
[04:09] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: 8.04 is the LTS not 8.10
[04:09] <Kewldude> sorry yes thats what i meant lol
[04:09] <Joker_-_> I was like: whaa? 8.10 was lts?
[04:09] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: the desktop version?
[04:10] <infomomo> Joker_-_: LTS?
[04:10] <sebsebseb> Kewldude:  since you got 8.04  KDE3 is also an option in the repo/ubuntudownloadservers :)
[04:10] <assmonger> if df is showing 0 free space, but i can only account for a small amount of space used by sudo du -h where should i look for the used space?
[04:10] <Joker_-_> infomomo: Long Term Support
[04:10] <Kewldude> no joker i screwed that up was thinking of something else
[04:10] <infomomo> Joker_-_: thanks
[04:10] <Joker_-_> Kewldude: yeah I know ;)
[04:10] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: instead of just KDE4 which is  the case iwth 8.10 and 9.04,  like Xubuntu/XFCE they are desktoip environments.  differnet desktops and such
[04:10] <Im_Toast> Long Term Support
[04:11] <Im_Toast> oops
[04:12] <Kewldude> well i want to fully understand this system altogether like i know dos and windows products in and out but this one is weird to me so trying to figure out alot of stuff on here
[04:12] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: ok  well
[04:12] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: loads of good stuff to install :)  you just need to know what to install
[04:13] <hinkley> Kewldude: i tell ya man its GOLD
[04:13] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: and how
[04:13] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: I just told a guy  on  instant messenger,  about quite a few  good things to install into 8.04 :)
[04:14] <hinkley> i am contemplating unistalling Vista... and making this my Perminant OP - i am running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine ATM in VMWare...
[04:14] <Kewldude> well i want to make it secure, setup as a server for my laptops to have access to the internet, and the other project is to use nocat software to setup a wireless wifi
[04:14] <botux> sebsebseb: i did make some shared folders in vista
[04:14] <LargePrime> greetings all!  i went to www.asciisector.net and downloaded the game.  unpacked it.  i double clicked on the "executable." No fun ensued.  what did i do wrong?
[04:15] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: well it is pretty secure  by default,  with a hardware firewall and no stupid Ubuntu passwords such as 123
[04:15] <hinkley> ubuntu doesnt use .exe u need Wine to use windows Software.
[04:15] <mimiloon> can anyone help me plz? i have a small problem with my wifi card; it works but not to it's full potential. it's atheros N series (AR5008 (AR5416)). it doesn't use the N protocol in ubuntu 8.1, any thought of getting this to improve? i have the drivers from windows but when i installed the drivers using ndiswrapper (GUI), it say the hardware is present but i can't activate it. also, i have another wifi card built in the laptop (ABG)
[04:15] <Sketch_> i'm having an issue with my screen resolution.  my monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080, yet ubuntu insists on stretching half of the screen area beyond the visible edge of my screen.
[04:15] <sebsebseb> hinkley: Windows software ha ha
[04:16] <sebsebseb> hinkley: most of it is rubbish anyway
[04:16] <hinkley> yeah Ns...
[04:16] <Kewldude> ok the router i have is a linksys but when i use it i have problems connecting through the laptops
[04:16] <sebsebseb> hinkley: ,but yes Wine,  or  you can run Windows inside a virtual machine inside Ubuntu, fine for everything excpet 3D games and such
[04:16] <hinkley> LargePrime: Wanted to know...
[04:16] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: I am not really the person to get wireless help from, but  stick around and their wiil be others
[04:17] <arkanabar> I will not talk smack about Vista.  I will not talk smack about XP.  I will not talk smack about Win2k.
[04:17] <LargePrime> hinkley: I downloaded the linux package
[04:17] <Kewldude> ok what other kewl stuff should i get on here, not to worried bout this desktop as it is a project lol
[04:18] <sebsebseb> so if I am correct their are at least two guys here right now, that would like to know what to intall in a clean Ubuntu install?
[04:18] <arkanabar> Kewldude:  What do you want to do?
[04:18] <hinkley> Oh.
[04:18] <AK_Dave> what kind of wifi help?
[04:18] <arkanabar> Heck, I'd like a list for a minimal install.
[04:18] <ossud> hi!
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: how can I explan this, there are loads of differnet desktops to choose from with Desktop Linux, to name a few,   Gnome, KDE,  and XFCE
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: at the moment your using Gnome
[04:19] <Kewldude> make it a server for my other 2 laptops running windows
[04:19] <botux> those are te best 3
[04:19] <AK_Dave> minimum server, desktop, netbook ... ???
[04:19]  * arkanabar is a minimalist, and plans to start from the minimal CD, and use LXDE.
[04:19] <Kewldude> using gnome yes
[04:19] <AK_Dave> Ahh... THAT sort of minimal. Have you considered fvwm?
[04:19] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: and since your on 8.04 you can get the  older and very stable, because it's been around for years,  KDE3,  which sadly is no longer developed.  as well as the newer KDE4 which is only  in the download servers for later ubuntu's
[04:20]  * AK_Dave suggests openbox
[04:20] <arkanabar> Kewldude:  You have options.  Your server need not even have a monitor or keyboard; you could use your laptops & ssh to log into and control it.
[04:20] <hinkley> PuTTY :D
[04:20] <ossud> i'm interested in compiling software packages (not just my own) for the ubuntu repository! how can i put my debs in the universe repo?
[04:20] <Sketch_> has anyone here ever had to correct a screen resolution issue?
[04:21] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: and  KDE will give you nice apps such as  K3B for CD and DVD burning.   Konqueror as a file manager and browser,  Konversation I think is part of it to, a good IRC client.  the Amarok music player  which is ok, but I would use Banshee and VLC  for video.  and to play music in Banshee.
[04:21] <Kewldude> ok well i tried to use a wireless router to it arkana but when i hook it up i have problems connecting to it with the laptop for internet
[04:21] <arkanabar> AK_Dave:  I hadn't; I like Openbox b/c it's supposed to be code-compliant first.
[04:21] <AK_Dave> Kewldude: It is convenient, though not strictly necessary, to temporarily attach a keyboard and monitor to a server while you get things set up. But this, again, can be done remotely.
[04:22] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: Open Office is default in Ubuntu, but KOffice, Abiword, and Gnumeric are also nice.  and you will need to install MP3 suppourt and AVI suppourt if you want such things
[04:22] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: and you probably need to install Flash as well
[04:22] <Kewldude> ok
[04:22] <JEEBcz> sebsebseb, why not go for smplayer for video? You get better ASS support and overall less borking files on the .mp4 / .mkv sector
[04:23] <ossud> can someone point me in the right direction?
[04:23]  * AK_Dave points right
[04:23] <sebsebseb> Kewldude: and their are games and  thousands of packages you can get just like that, using the command line with  sudo apt-get install programname  or  the graphical Synaptic package manager     system > administaration > syanptic package manager
[04:23] <disappearedng> Hey everyone I have a pdf that is in image format, is there anything good that can help me convert this to text pdf?
[04:23] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: well mplayer is good as well I know
[04:23] <narothepharoh> whats a good app for ipod syncing
[04:23] <sebsebseb> narothepharoh: Banshee
[04:23] <Kewldude> ya not into games just wireless usage
[04:24] <Kewldude> wifi mostly
[04:24] <AK_Dave> narothepharoah: depends on the ipod generation and what it was formatted on
[04:24] <LargePrime> I went to www.asciisector.net and downloaded the linux package.  unpacked it.  i double clicked on the "executable." No fun ensued.  what did i do wrong?
[04:24] <botux> PlayOnLinux for games
[04:24] <AK_Dave> narothepharoah: banshee is usually good with windows-formatted ipods, but unless you have THE NEWEST banshee and libs the newest ipods can be problematic
[04:25] <botux> lets you play windows games
[04:25] <ossud> AK_Dave: do you know where i can put my .debs?
[04:25] <JEEBcz> sebsebseb, I just can't understand why people keep referring to VLC as if it's one of the best players *nix has :/ It's OK for a streaming platform, but the fact that the decoding on some files is much more broken than on mplayer kind of is... meh - also the fact that zgreg is doing patches for ASS subtitle rendering is always a good thing, since VLC seems to never render those right.
[04:25] <arkanabar> ossud:  have you looked at http://www.canonical.com/partners
[04:25] <Burntresistor> im setting up wine for direct x and the site setup says the autodetect  only will recognize 256mb of video memory
[04:25] <Burntresistor> http://www.unixmen.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=39:install-directx-90c-on-ubuntu-810-using-wine&catid=4:ubuntu&Itemid=7
[04:25] <Sketch_> my screen resolution is all jacked up, can anyone offer some advice?
[04:25] <Burntresistor> thats the guide im using
[04:25] <FloodBot1> Burntresistor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:25] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: I guess since people are used to it from Windows, and it looks rather nice under Desktop GNU/Linux
[04:25] <Burntresistor> im not im asking a question
[04:26] <JEEBcz> sebsebseb, doesn't smplayer frontend for the mplayer look that good?
[04:26] <Kewldude> ok guys thanks for the tips i will check out a few things
[04:26] <LargePrime> sebsebseb: JEEBcz also VLC only implements open codecs
[04:26] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: did I use smplyaer maybe at some stage,  I use Banshee
[04:27] <gwennn> sebsebseb : mplayer is the best!
[04:27] <ossud> arkanabar: i don't know what to look for on this site
[04:27] <sebsebseb> !best |  gwennn
[04:27] <Sketch_> anybody know how to fix a screen resolution issue?
[04:27] <JEEBcz> LargePrime, unfortunately most of the stuff is packed and the stuff I encode is packed with non-free stuff... Theora is no way going to beat H.264 at the moment
[04:27] <AK_Dave> Sketch: boot text, no X, and sudo dpkg-reconfigure your xorg
[04:27] <narothepharoh> AK_Dave: what do you reccomend?
[04:27] <JEEBcz> (especially with the open source x264 encoder :3)
[04:27] <Sketch_> AK_Dave:  how do i do that?
[04:28] <Burntresistor> im trying to setup direct x  im new this is the only guide i could find
[04:28] <botux> sebsebseb: i created shared folders in vista
[04:28] <gwennn> there is a good how to install on the jaunty forum
[04:28] <sebsebseb> LargePrime: JEEBcz  not even heard of that one it seems
[04:28] <arkanabar> ossud:  It was just a guess as to where you could start, as you're looking for upload access to the repos.
[04:28] <sebsebseb> botux: not done enough with Samba,  and it's late here, bed soon as a result,   these other guys should be able to help you
[04:29] <botux> sebebseb: its cool
[04:29] <ossud> this would be a long way to the repo don't you think?
[04:29] <botux> can anyone assist me with samba
[04:29] <sebsebseb> botux: good luck
[04:29] <LargePrime> question.  I went to www.asciisector.net and downloaded the linux package.  unpacked it.  i double clicked on the "executable." No fun ensued.  what did i do wrong?
[04:29] <JEEBcz> sebsebseb, too bad debian/ubuntu kind of always have old revisions of x264 / mplayer even though there are definite changes done on both and feature growth is pretty good.
[04:30] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: yeah well they do security updates only, and PPA's for later stuff, or find a DEB, or compile from source
[04:30] <botux> sebsebseb: thanks i appreciate all the help you have given me
[04:30] <JEEBcz> haha, the x264 package for ubuntu 8.10 was the one that killed me, though :/ Wasn't updated at all from April 2008
[04:31] <JEEBcz> (and the build-dep never got fixed before jaunty)
[04:31] <arkanabar> ossud:  can only suggest you google Ubuntu community repository and see what you find.
[04:31] <infomomo> how to make sure nobody can edit my grub at start up ?
[04:32] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: well I want to  go to bed soon, and I am not quite following all of this anyway, as in understanding, plus it's off topic, so  I guess  convo over, unless you want to conclude it with something
[04:32] <ossud> arkanabar: i found out that i could try to become a motu but my programs are too crappy ...
[04:32] <XPS_M1330> what's the command to install a public key?

[04:32] <JEEBcz> sebastien, I agree it's a bit offtopic :) I just wanted to point out why VLC gets so much attention although it has so many bugs when people ask for a media player :)
[04:32] <_Brun0_> does ubuntu alternate install comes with nano?
[04:33] <JEEBcz> Therefore I guess I'll end the offtopic here ;)
[04:33] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: now I remember  VLC is  already outdated for jaunty,   I was in +1  and the maintainer for the PPA was saying about something
[04:33] <disappearedng> Hey everyone i have a .deb file that I want to install but then it says that I have dependency not satisfiable libglib1.2 whereas i have installed libglib2.0 what do I do ?
[04:34] <LargePrime> heh freed my jews
[04:34] <crdlb> disappearedng: what is it?
[04:34] <ossud> @ some expert: do i have to contribute my own program to do motuy stuff??
[04:34] <JEEBcz> sebsebseb, that's probably just the top of the iceberg. And IIRC even the newest versions don't fix some stuff that's really weirdly broken on some files. But anyways, offtopic and I don't want you to have a sleeping pattern like I just had ;)
[04:35] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: ah yes bad sleeping patterns,  I had that for ages, but been changing things more  the last two weeks
[04:35] <disappearedng> crdlb: it's pcmanx
[04:35] <sebsebseb> JEEBcz: partern like you just had?
[04:35] <disappearedng> crdlb: I can't install it either through apt-get why?
[04:35] <arkanabar> disappearedng:  there were many many changes b/n those two versions.  I don't know if you can have both libglib1.2 & 2.0.
[04:36] <crdlb> disappearedng: pcmanx-gtk2 ?
[04:36] <ossud> ... because i would rather keep the ubuntu repos up to date
[04:37] <Dreamglider> how can i auto run these three commands when Ubuntu starts > http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/147369/
[04:37] <disappearedng> crdlb: yeah
[04:38] <disappearedng> crdlb: but when I use apt-get i can't see it why?
[04:38] <crdlb> disappearedng: "yeah"? what happens if you install that?
[04:38] <crdlb> disappearedng: it's in universe, do you have universe enabled?
[04:39] <psychic> anyone in here a pidgin nerd? lo

[04:40] <Im_Toast> Guys, I use a laptop with an external monitor. I just installed the KDE desktop to try it out, now my external monitor keeps flashing on and off, and it keeps saying my laptop is charging then running on battery then charging over and over. Any ideas what I can do to fix it?
[04:41] <psychic> yea i am to but i want to find a program that would spam the spammers i guess flood porn bots with ims so as to crash their systems
[04:41] <psychic> it all annoyes me
[04:41] <XPS_M1330> is there a search engine for the missing public keys for the repository?
[04:41] <crdlb> disappearedng: what happens if you 'sudo apt-get install pcmanx-gtk2'
[04:41] <AK_Dave> XPS: which repository?
[04:42] <Code_Bleu> I have done a lot of googling and found that my issue with booting on LVM2 partitions is a bug.  Does anyone know a work around or would know when this is going to be fixed? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/147216
[04:42] <arkanabar> psychic:  no clue, don't have that problem myself.  And I suspect their resources are far beyond your ability to strain.
[04:43] <psychic> maybe but if i dedicate a computer to it i might just be able to start some motion
[04:43] <Im_Toast> psychic was planning on hacking everyones computer here and using them as zombies to help him spam.
[04:43] <disappearedng> crdlb: I realize that my computer's server was one of canada's server which didn't contain it
[04:43] <disappearedng> now when I switch to the main server I see it thex
[04:43] <psychic> excuse me?
[04:43] <Im_Toast> Lol, I was jk with you
[04:43] <psychic> ok lol
[04:43] <AK_Dave> psychic: you would need one HECK of a botnet to make a dent in that.
[04:44] <Im_Toast> Guys, I use a laptop with an external monitor. I just installed the KDE desktop to try it out, now my external monitor keeps flashing on and off, and it keeps saying my laptop is charging then running on battery then charging over and over. Any ideas what I can do to fix it?
[04:44] <AK_Dave> psychic: make a botnet out of google, and you might make a dent
[04:44] <psychic> probably i might just build it tho
[04:44] <psywiped> good evening everyone i was wondering how in ubuntu server when having a file downloaded thru http to get the download manager to see the total file size and how to enable the ability to restart a download
[04:44] <psychic> problem is i dont know a thing about a bot net lol
[04:44] <AK_Dave> psychic: and thats a good thing
[04:45] <psywiped> i just kind of need to know how to frase the question
[04:45] <AK_Dave> Im_Toast: 1) sounds like you're loading the wrong kernel module, 2) sounds like an acpi problem
[04:45] <psywiped> cant find what im looking for in the forums with the search string
[04:46] <psychic> its no better than bot net designers knowing how to build them to ruin a fine chat utility
[04:46] <Im_Toast> AK_Dave: How would I go about trying to A. see if that's the problem B. fix it lol
[04:47] <psychic> so if i could get a guess what would i need to start $12-15000 into a computer system server type setup or somthing
[04:47] <psychic> ?
[04:47] <TheFunkbomb> Quick question.  I installed the KDE desktop but didn't like it so I removed the files.  Now when I log off or start up, it shows the Kubuntu splash screen.  How do I change it back to the default Ubuntu screen?
[04:48] <psywiped> the kubuntu splash screen is nicer
[04:49] <psywiped> good evening everyone i was wondering how in ubuntu server when having a file downloaded thru http to get the download manager to see the total file size and how to enable the ability to restart a download
[04:49] <TheFunkbomb> I solved it.  Nevermind!
[04:50] <vitaliy_> hey guys does anyone have any problems with youtube cuz when i make the screen bigger the video is bad
[04:51] <arkanabar> psychic:  I don't know if that'd be enough.  You'd need an internet backbone for your ISP.
[04:51] <psychic> so whats that require how much bandwith
[04:51] <arkanabar> and if you *did* hit the porn spammers that hard in Yahoo!, it would probably count as a DOS attack.
[04:51] <psychic> t1 plus?
[04:52] <napzter> Hi guys how can I mount or see my external hardisk (seagate)...... I cant access it when Im looking in media folder
[04:52] <h1234> hi folks, I just got an Optus 3G wireless broadband kit, can anyone help me with setting this up in ubuntu =)
[04:52] <psywiped> some times vitaliy_ just hit f5 till it works
[04:52] <omnomnOMINOUS> Help, I can't write to my external hard drive (unless I use sudo)! The permissions seem to be correct (drwxr-xr-x). What's going on?
[04:52] <vitaliy_> ok ill try
[04:52] <napzter> Hi guys how can I mount or see my external hardisk (seagate)...... I cant access it when Im looking in media folder?
[04:52] <botux> can anyone assist me with samba
[04:53] <vitaliy_> the video works
[04:53] <psywiped> omnomnOMINOUS, just make it all 7's
[04:54] <vitaliy_> its just that when i put the video on large screen everything is fine exept there is like stoppings
[04:54] <psywiped> hey when you go and download somthing and you can see the total file size and % done how do i get my server to do that?
[04:54] <Mewtwo> hm
[04:55] <psywiped> vitaliy_, some times i have that issue with hulu
[04:55] <Mewtwo> I'm trying to get folders shared in virtualbox (running Ubuntu in a VM for now, hopefully) but I can't figure out how to actually access the shared folders
[04:55] <psywiped> vitaliy_, i just reboot when that happens
[04:55] <evilaim_> gar
[04:56] <psychic> so these spammers are dedicated servers with industrial computer?
[04:56] <Mike_lifeguard> normally botnets
[04:56] <muller4> hi
[04:56] <arkanabar> either that, or a few thousand zombified home desktops.
[04:57] <arkanabar> usually, it's thousands of zombified home desktops.
[04:57] <oh_noes> Hi, How do I determine via CLI if my eth0 is 100 or 1000 full duplex?
[04:57] <muller4> does 8.04 work with wireless usb
[04:57] <psychic> can u educate me some on it i know its not normal ubuntu help but i use ubuntu so ... how bout for conversations sake
[04:57] <psywiped> is there a channel for ubuntu server questions?
[04:57] <AK_Dave> Mewtwo: very easy, and good documentation for Virtualbox. Short answer: open Virtualbox, select guest, select Shared Folders, find the folder, set up the share. From the guest, depends on the guest OS. But its the same as adding a samba drive.
[04:58] <arkanabar> psychic:  search wikipedia for botnet
[04:58] <arkanabar> it'll give you some theory on how that sort of thing works.
[04:58] <arkanabar> it's way OT for this channel.
[04:58] <AK_Dave> Mewtwo: windows guest, go to My Computer, open Folders sidebar, select Network, and open [+] until you see the share you created
[04:58] <AK_Dave> Mewtwo: then R-click to "map network drive"
[04:58] <Mewtwo> it's an Ubuntu guest
[04:59] <AK_Dave> Mewtwo: then use Nautilus to "map network drive"
[04:59] <a1fa> hello..; i am trying to go to 9.04 by using update-manager -d
[04:59] <Mewtwo> I read that, but P couldn't get it to work (probably because I'm an idiot)
[04:59] <Mewtwo> ...I have to be, to mix up P and I
[04:59] <AK_Dave> Mewtwo: Nautilus -> Network
[04:59] <a1fa> but it tells me i am up do date lsb_release says i am at 8.10
[04:59] <napzter> how can I access my external hardisk guys?
[04:59] <muller4> i been working on this for 3 days now
[05:00] <evilaim> *stretches*
[05:00] <psywiped> a1fa, please go to #ubuntu+1 for any questions about 9.04
[05:00] <napzter> how can I access my external hardisk guys???
[05:00] <evilaim> who needs help? sry, I was out
[05:00] <napzter> me
[05:00] <arkanabar> alfa:  9.04 final is released on 23 April.
[05:00] <muller4> dont seem like ubuntu can connect through usb adaper
[05:00] <napzter> how can I access my external hardisk guys???
[05:00] <evilaim> napz, did you plug it in?
[05:00] <psywiped> napzter, try a screwdriver
[05:00] <evilaim> and it didn't automount?
[05:00] <napzter> hahahhahah nice one psywiped
[05:00] <omnomnOMINOUS> psywiped: Thanks, changing permissions to 777 worked. I didn't realize that external hard drives are owned by root. Is that usually the case?
[05:00] <a1fa> is there a netbook version of ubuntu available?
[05:01] <psywiped> omnomnOMINOUS, no but sometimes it happens
[05:01] <napzter> how can I access my external harddisk... or how can i mount it
[05:01] <omnomnOMINOUS> psywiped: would a better solution be to "chown" the drive?
[05:02] <jtaji> a1fa: there is Ubuntu Netbook Remix which will be officially supported with 9.04
[05:02] <arkanabar> alfa:  http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr
[05:02] <psywiped> napzter, screwdrivers and screws?
[05:02] <a1fa> appreciate it
[05:02] <AK_Dave> unr rocks
[05:03] <psywiped> woot fat bottomed girls
[05:03] <AK_Dave> omonomnom: not always, depends on your mtab
[05:03] <napzter> no.... waahhhhahahha.... psywiped I mean  access it.... It seems not to be automatically detected by ubuntu
[05:03] <psywiped> napzter, usb 2.0?

[05:05] <psywiped> hey when you go and download somthing and you can see the total file size and % done how do i get my server to do that?
[05:05] <napzter> psywiped: Yup absolutely in windows
[05:06] <psywiped> napzter, do you have a usb flash drive liying around that works?\
[05:06] <napzter> yup...
[05:06] <trancefat> Hi all. i m getting  a system message whenever i boot - 'battery power is only 47% which means its either old or broken'. This is a 18 month old laptop. What I want to know is, how long can i manage with this battery at 47%. I cant afford to buy anything right now
[05:06] <psychic> i have one ubuntu question
[05:06] <psywiped> plug it into that usb port and see if its working
[05:06] <psychic> is it vulnerable to common viruses?
[05:07] <Kesman> psychic: no
[05:07] <psywiped> hell no psychic
[05:07] <psychic> didnt think so its about as sturdy as mac os isn't it?
[05:07] <psywiped> i want to ride my bicycle
[05:07] <psywiped> psychic, more
[05:07] <arkanabar> psychic:  yes, esp. once you enable the firewall.
[05:07] <evilaim> psywiped: with no handle bars?
[05:07] <psychic> ah ok
[05:07] <psychic> tahnks

[05:09] <napzter> psywiped: its working when im in windows
[05:09] <ltgg> ubuntu newbie ... want to do a very simple thing  ...copy a directory to a blank DVD ...how?
[05:09] <arkanabar> napzter:  sounds like you don't have the proper USB drivers in linux.
[05:10] <psychic> why is that that its so immune is it because of the popularity of windows or just windows is realy very much popular because
[05:10] <Kesman> ltgg: insert dvd, wait for brasero to start, figure out
[05:10] <arkanabar> ltgg:  start up brasero.  interface is very simple and nice.
[05:10] <napzter> yah i think so..... arkanabar ... Im using Interpid Ibex .....
[05:10] <mahiti-irc> Hi All
[05:10] <Kesman> psychic: what is vulnerable? windows? it's because it allows non-administrators to install software
[05:10] <mahiti-irc> for QuadCore server which ubuntu distro is preferred?
[05:10] <trancefat> i can come later if everyone s busy
[05:10] <ltgg> thanks .. tried Brasero .. seems to work , but fails at write stage
[05:11] <psychic> ok
[05:11] <indian_munnda> hi, can anyone tell me how to run *.wmv files????????
[05:11] <napzter> so then guys how can I update my USB driver?
[05:11] <psychic> thats a big design flaw lol
[05:11] <psywiped> mahiti-irc, the amd64 version
[05:11] <Kesman> indian_munnda: install vlc player from add/reove programs, start it and then open the file
[05:11] <Kesman> psychic: among many others..
[05:11] <psywiped> napzter, was it working with the live cd?
[05:12] <indian_munnda> Kesman: it not working in VLC
[05:12] <Kesman> indian_munnda: does it give you errors or what?
[05:12] <napzter> hmmmmmmmmm..... I haven't try it yet... psywiped
[05:12] <tgeek> hi all.  Do you know of a GUI based Linux app that can burn multiple CD's at once?
[05:12] <arkanabar> indian_munnda:  Have you enabled the nonfree repos and gotten the nonfree codecs?
[05:12] <Mewtwo> Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations.
[05:13] <indian_munnda> Kesman: it doesn't shows anything.
[05:13] <indian_munnda> Kesman: actually it doesn't starts
[05:13] <Kesman> indian_munnda: enable non-free repositories and install extra codecs
[05:13] <indian_munnda> arkanabar: i think i have.
[05:14] <Kesman> indian_munnda: id you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[05:14] <kimws1901_> hello
[05:14] <indian_munnda> Kesman: when i rtun this file in windows it demands DRM identifier when i click ok nothing happens
[05:14] <arkanabar> indian_munnda:  linux in general does not support drm of any sort.
[05:15] <indian_munnda> arkanabar: so the file won't run in ubuntu?
[05:15] <WickedBallistix> I recently moved my windows partition to another hard drive.  Does anyone know how to get GRUB to recognize the move?
[05:15] <AK_Dave> digital rights mutilation
[05:16] <indian_munnda> Kesman: i think i haven't install that
[05:16] <Kesman> indian_munnda: well try to install it first, but I don't think ubuntu supports drm very well...
[05:16] <arkanabar> indian_munnda:  probably not.  DRM is the antithesis of the freedom that is built into all GNU software.
[05:16] <Kesman> indian_munnda: if it's an audio file, get an mp3 version of it from somewhere else..
[05:16] <psywiped> WickedBallistix, read the gentoo instal info it tells how grub works
[05:16] <thrillERboy> hi guys.... I've installed ubuntu using wubi. I've just 10 GBs allotted to it. Now I want to download something from ubuntu, but there is not enough space in the home folder. Can I download this to windows partition from ubuntu without any problems?
[05:17] <psywiped> thrillERboy, yea look in the root folder should be one that says host thats your windows drive
[05:17] <WickedBallistix> psywiped: thanks, I'll look =)
[05:17] <indian_munnda> Kesman: is there any converter, from which i can convert this file into another format
[05:17] <indian_munnda> Kesman: its a video file
[05:18] <thrillERboy> psywiped, lemme check :)
[05:18] <psywiped> indian_munnda, what format to what format
[05:18] <arkanabar> indian_munnda:  DRM is meant to absolutely prevent that sort of behavior.
[05:18] <indian_munnda> psywiped: wmv to any
[05:18] <psywiped> is the wmv drm?
[05:18] <indian_munnda> arkanabar: u mean i even can't convert it
[05:18] <amazing> \ident
[05:18] <indian_munnda> psywiped: ya
[05:19] <arkanabar> indian_munnda:  that's the whole point of DRM, to prevent you from doing what you want.
[05:19] <indian_munnda> arkanabar: ooooo
[05:19] <arkanabar> no copying, and all too often, no playing.
[05:19] <indian_munnda> arkanabar: so is there anyother solution
[05:20] <psywiped> indian_munnda, read this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1080099.html and this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-214910.html
[05:20] <arkanabar> indian_munnda, also read http://defectivebydesign.org/

[05:21] <thrillERboy> psywiped, thanks there is the drive which I installed ubuntu :) so can i download things using ktorrent and resume it according to my needs without any probs now. also can I download to other window partitions without any trouble?
[05:22] <Kesman> yes
[05:23] <psywiped> yea thrillERboy but if there a truly other partition you need to look for other dirves in the computer folder
[05:23] <mint_usr_> hello
[05:24] <mint_usr_> i have an issue with my linux installed on an external disk
[05:24] <evilaim> mint, what OS?
[05:24] <thrillERboy> Also I read somewhere that users are not encouraged to save files outside home folder. Is it okey if I save these files outside the home folder?
[05:24] <mint_usr_> mint
[05:24] <mint_usr_> bassically ubuntu
[05:24] <psywiped> well mint_usr_ i have a problem with you trying to install linux on an external disk
[05:24] <evilaim> basically, but not...

[05:25] <mint_usr_> i-m currently there
[05:25] <thrillERboy> thanks psywiped :)
[05:25] <mint_usr_> but there is nobody chatting
[05:25] <Kesman> thrillERboy: it doesn't matter where you put files
[05:25] <psywiped> Kesman, yes it does
[05:25] <mint_usr_> psywiped: why? i need a portable os
[05:25] <AK_Dave> Its true. mint_usr_ is there
[05:26] <Kesman> psywiped: well of course not in /etc or stuff, but it's ok to put stuff elsewhere than /home
[05:26] <mint_usr_> it works without local disk plugged
[05:26] <thrillERboy> thanks Kesman :)
