[03:46] <bringatowel> Kai_wp, there are some options in vlc to de-interlace, don't recall which to try exactly
[03:47] <adiabatic> Is there something that'll help me automount a freshly-installed /dev/sdb, or do I need to modify /etc/mtab myself?
[03:47] <myo> hey guys, does anyone know why my computer would be running in top shape, and when I steped out for a couple hours, now it complains that my user is not in the sudoers file?
[03:47] <cygoku_> patrickmn : I get the same, max is 640x480 :(
[03:48] <cygoku_> Wich is rly bad :(
[03:48] <starn_> can anybody help me fix my freeze ups with ubuntu? i just reinstalled it and it is giving me lockup issues now...
[03:48] <ianliu_88> When I log on Ubuntu, sometimes my panel itens (tray icons, clock, sound, etc) get unordered even if they are locked... How can I fix this?
[03:48] <Ikarius> grumble. dh_make is giving me trouble with getting the version correct
[03:48] <patrickmn> cygoku_: are you using restricted drivers?
[03:48] <^Phantom^> k
[03:48] <strategy> myo, are you sure you didnt just log into an account without sudoer privelages?
[03:48] <vantrigge2> guys, im downloading something in terminal and i got disconnected. now it doesnt seem like it's still downloading.  how do i make it resume?
[03:48] <Ikarius> version is 3.1.1-1ubuntu1,  it's giving me version 1ubuntu1 and leaving 3.1.1 attached to the package name.
[03:49] <cygoku_> patrickmn : Yes I am using the restricted drivers and compiz works good.
[03:49] <^Phantom^> my virtual linux is not letting me select a display resolution above 800x600 <_<
[03:49] <myo> strategy: yes, there's only one account on this computer (laptop), and it was logged in the whole time I was gone
[03:49] <strategy> ^Phantom^, are you running it on MS VirtualPC?
[03:49] <Bricker> does anyone know anything about the program called fuppes?
[03:49] <ScheissDrogen> !xen
[03:49] <bringatowel> khin, not sure, you could try "chmod -R 644 *.txt"
[03:49] <^Phantom^> VirtualBox
[03:49] <patrickmn> cygoku_: bare with me a little, I am noob to linux, just made the switch last week
[03:49] <n-iCe> oidentd uses my user name as ident, is there a way to change it, without create a new user?
[03:49] <eblume> Hi! I need to transfer a Very Large File (8.8 gigs) from an Ubuntu machine to a ista machine. They are connected on a wireless network, and I am computer savvy. The wireless transfer speed would take 3 hours.
[03:49] <eblume> My question is - how hard is it to set up a crossover ethernet connection to speed it up?
[03:49] <cygoku_> patrickmn : Okay ! :(
[03:50] <bringatowel> adiabatic, don't you mean /etc/fstab ?
[03:50] <ScheissDrogen> !xen > st3ph
[03:50] <patrickmn> cygoku_: I think that you may need to verify that you are using the correct driver, what kind of laptop are you using?  have you had larger resolution before?
[03:50] <strategy> ^Phantom^, i have a friend who uses VPC(not sure about virtualbox), but he says vpc doesnt have a virtual video card
[03:50] <pirate> !uuid
[03:50] <adiabatic> bringatowel: most likely
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> eblume: 10gig thumb drive maybe?
[03:50] <eblume> IndyGunFreak, I know it's gasp-worthy, but the biggest I have on me is 512 MiB.
[03:51] <bringatowel> adiabatic, there is a disk manager package that will give you a gui
[03:51] <^Phantom^> eblume, i normally connect both to the router with ethernet cables
[03:51] <magnatop> eblume: have you ever made a cat5 cable?
[03:51] <strategy> ^Phantom^, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:51] <eblume> magnatop, I have, and I have both crossover and noncrossover at hand.
[03:51] <cygoku_> patrickmn : I am using the correct driver I know that because I installed many times before.  I have a laptop DELL Inspiron with an ATI card and I use to have 1280x800 as default resolution
[03:51] <adiabatic> bringatowel: do you happen to know the name?
[03:51] <myo> does anyone have any ideas about my sudo problem? I can't do anything with this machine now, and su is disabled in ubuntu
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> eblume: couple blank DVDR's?(like 4.9gigs eachi think)
[03:51] <strategy> ^Phantom^, that should fix it
[03:51] <magnatop> oh, hmm..
[03:51] <adiabatic> I'm in gparted, but it doesn't seem to fiddle with fstab
[03:51] <Bricker> if i need to install a dependency for a program, do i have to reinstall the program and the dependency at the same time....   or can i install the dependency later after the fact and gain all the functionality?
[03:51] <^Phantom^> but it might not be practical for you
[03:51] <eblume> IndyGunFreak, do you know the command to split a g'zipped tar into 4.9 gig chunks?
[03:51] <jrib> myo: what is the output of 'groups'?
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> eblume: sorry id on't
[03:52] <bringatowel> adiabatic, try searching for disk in add/remove
[03:52] <st3ph> !xen
[03:52] <myo> jrib: @#$$! it just says disk
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> eblume: youd ont by chance have an old hard drive laying arund do you?
[03:52] <myo>  the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[03:52] <myo> myo@myoX61:~$ sudo visudo
[03:52] <myo> [sudo] password for myo:
[03:52] <myo> myo is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[03:52] <myo> myo@myoX61:~$ cat /etc/sudoers
[03:52] <FloodBot1> myo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:52] <eblume> IndyGunFreak, Saddly no.
[03:52] <myo> cat: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
[03:52] <patrickmn> i looked at the link that [STRATEGY] posted and it recommends to run the auto max display script have you looked at that page?
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> eblume: are yo pretty savy w/ computer hardware?
[03:52] <jrib> myo: there you go.  Reboot in "recovery mode" and do: sudo adduser YOUR_USER admin
[03:52] <bringatowel> adiabatic, it's called "disk management" in add/remove
[03:53] <Bricker> anyone know??
[03:53] <vantrigge2> guys, im downloading something in terminal and i got disconnected. now it doesnt seem like it's still downloading.  how do i make it resume?
[03:53] <strategy> patrickmn, that doesnt help in most cases, but adding the video resoultion (lower down) will work in some cases
[03:53] <jrib> Bricker: how are you installing?
[03:53] <strategy> patrickmn, if you try all of that, at least one solution should work
[03:53] <jrib> vantrigge2: how are you downloading?
[03:54] <patrickmn> thanks strategy, thats good to know
[03:54] <strategy> patrickmn, good luck =]
[03:54] <vantrigge2> jrib: cd compiz-git
[03:54] <vantrigge2> ./compiz-git install
[03:54] <khin> outbackwifi bringatowel i found the solution, you must go in nautilus to edit ->
[03:54] <Bricker> bricker: i installed a program called fuppes via terminal a few days ago....    today i found out it would have been useful if i have an optional dependency installed for it...     i want to know if i have to reinstall the whole thing now?   (i'm a linux newbie)
[03:55] <Bricker> err, i meant jrib :)
[03:55] <khin> preferences -> behavior and then alter the setting for text files
[03:55] <outbackwifi> khin: godo for you
[03:55] <outbackwifi> khin: good for you
[03:55] <binarycodes> i am making a 250GB partition for storing video files, will XFS be a proper filesystem for this?
[03:55] <Bricker> jrib:  i installed a program called fuppes via terminal a few days ago....    today i found out it would have been useful if i have an optional dependency installed for it...     i want to know if i have to reinstall the whole thing now?   (i'm a linux newbie)
[03:55] <jrib> vantrigge2: depends on how the program handles the missing dependency really. Compiz-fusion is in the repos though
[03:55] <khin> i tried to install compiz-fusion a while back and it said it wasn't compatible with my hardware
[03:56] <bringatowel> khin, oh cool, good to know =)
[03:56] <patrickmn> cygoku_: you may have to go in to your xconf and view if the option for higher resolution is in there
[03:56] <vantrigge2> jrib: Pulling atlantis2 from git...   was the last statement.
[03:56] <vantrigge2> jrib: and doesnt seem like it's moving
[03:56] <myo> jrib: sorry, it pasted all that stuff in there an confused the heck out of irssi
[03:56] <jrib> vantrigge2: ignore my first sentence as I thought you were Bricker.  It's totally up to that random script as to how you resume a download.  Try asking the #compiz-fusion channel
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> eblume: ths is reasonably inexpensive, and more versatile than a thumb drive... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822242006
[03:57] <vantrigge2> jrib: ok. thanks
[03:57] <jrib> Bricker: safer to just reinstall.  It depends how the program handles it really
[03:57] <ahtmly2k> is there a chatroom specified for Blender?
[03:57] <Bricker> jrib: thank you... also, is there anyway i can check what dependencies i actually installed with a program?  ( i just copy and paste a lot from the tutorial, so it would be useful if i could make sure i have not already installed it)
[03:57] <myo> I think I know what happened; I was trying to get my firewire audio interface to work, and I must have run the usermod command wrong and unjoined all of the groups but disk
[03:58] <jrib> ahtmly2k: hidden away at #blender ;)
[03:58] <zelrikriando> hello
[03:59] <ahtmly2k> thnx
[03:59] <jrib> Bricker: if you are compiling programs, they usually don't install anything other than themselves.  If you use APT, it will take care of dependencies automatically.  You can use something like Synaptic if you want a GUI to see what you've installed through APT.  Otherwise, ask a clearer question :)
[03:59] <arooni> can someone tell me how i can get a microsoft wireless laser mouse 6000 to get its back/forward buttons working correctly (in firefox to go back/forward but also in nautilus to navigate folders etc)?  right the back button on mouse = middle button, and forward button = right click.
[04:00] <Bricker> jrib: there is no general install log or something i can check in ubuntu?
[04:00] <strategy> Bricker, system -> admin -> system logs
[04:00] <jrib> Bricker: what do you expect it to log?
[04:00] <Bricker> thank you  (no idea)
[04:01] <IdleOne> Bricker: like jrib said "  You can use something like Synaptic if you want a GUI to see what you've installed through APT."
[04:02] <jrib> Bricker: most (all?) of the stuff you install should be through APT.  That is well-managed and you can search for what you installed, etc.  But if you are just running scripts to install things, APT doesn't know about them
[04:02] <IdleOne> Bricker: apps you compile yourself will not be shown in Synaptic. it does not track things we compile ourself
[04:03] <Bricker> i'm actually trying to steam movies through my xbox360... i found a program called fuppes, but it's not on synaptic....   also, i'm a newbie so i appreciate everyone's help and all your information.. it's quite useful :)
[04:03] <vantrigge2> jrib: do u have any idea how to see its status?
[04:03] <szx0> How can I completely remove then reinstall the Apache2.2 configuration of my Ubuntu 8.04/64Bit Server installation. I tried apt-get -f remove apache2 / apt-get --purge remove apache2 / .. then installing again and many different combinations with apache2 and apache2.2-common.. but nothing appears to make the /etc/apache2 directory or the init.d/apache2 file... ideas?
[04:04] <adiabatic> `man mount` points me to `man 7 undocumented`...which says there's no entry for 'undocumented' in section 7. How can I find out how to write an entry of my own in /etc/fstab?
[04:04] <magbuntu> strategy: what was that screen res. url again?  i closed out my window and now i can't find it :)

[04:09] <ubuntu> okay, so i just installed windows to a second drive, and of course my mbr was overdone and i'm now stuck on a livecd, how can i recover my grub and with it a dualboot menu or whatever?

[04:11] <Ice_Max> how can i get rid of Os Selections in GRUB? I have at least 3 different Linux Kernel versions that show up, and i only need one
[04:11] <tehboriz> does anyone use steam with wine stuff
[04:11] <yao_ziyuan> anyone installed google's official toolbar for firefox?
[04:11] <tehboriz> ew hell no
[04:11] <yao_ziyuan> today it suddenly says a new version is installed
[04:11] <szx0> tehboriz, I used to
[04:12] <yao_ziyuan> that scared me a lot
[04:12] <tehboriz> toolbars are for noobs
[04:12] <SebNaitsabes> agreed
[04:12] <tehboriz> szx0: what made you stop lol
[04:12] <bringatowel> binarycodes, i have heard xfs is good for large files, so i guess it depends what size the video files are, but probably that is fine
[04:12] <SebNaitsabes> toolsbars for browsers suck indeed
[04:12] <szx0> tehboriz, nothing really just stopped playing
[04:12] <yao_ziyuan> i hate software to silently download and install executable updates
[04:12] <szx0> tehboriz, it worked pretty decent for me
[04:12] <yao_ziyuan> i'm in china; this could compromise my information security
[04:12] <Stanton> can any one help me with ubuntu freezing up for no reason? some one suggested it was my WIFI USB adaptor.
[04:12] <tehboriz> im thinking about getting ubuntu on my other hard drive in my laptop so i could dual boot..
[04:12] <IdleOne> !lamp > szx0
[04:12] <tehboriz> last time i tried steam with wine, i had 15 fps
[04:13] <Meshezabeel> tehboriz, not the toolbar for quantum transmission
[04:13] <SebNaitsabes> Shanton: could be, which one you got?  did you get it using native Linux drivers or ndiswrapper
[04:13] <szx0> ubottu, thank you
[04:13] <szx0> lol
[04:13] <Stanton> ndiswrapper
[04:13] <szx0> wow I thanked the bot ;-)
[04:13] <tehboriz> lol
[04:13] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, have you installed Sun Java and the Sun Java browser plugin?
[04:13] <Stanton> no linux drivers for it
[04:14] <Meshezabeel> bringatowel, yes
[04:14] <phece> is it any faster if you don't dual boot and have all your files on your single ubuntu partition?
[04:14] <szx0> IdleOne, re-installing LAMP will re-install Apache2 for me huh.. lets give it a whirl
[04:14] <IdleOne> szx0: well it should
[04:14] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton:  well  I been told that USB adapters aren't good basicalely
[04:14] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, are you running 32 or 64 bit?
[04:14] <n-iCe> IdleOne: I have read it
[04:15] <n-iCe> you know how?
[04:15] <SebNaitsabes> !wireless |  Stanton
[04:15] <IdleOne> n-iCe: i don't but figured that was a good place to start
[04:15] <n-iCe> IdleOne: nah
[04:15] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton: maybe you can get onto something usful from that, even though you have working
[04:15] <Meshezabeel> bringatowel, actually, how do I double check to see if I have the firefox java plugin, I have javaws on my computer, so I thought that is all I needed
[04:15] <myo> phew, ok guys, I fixed my sudo problem by login as root via the recovery boot option and adding my user back to the 'admin' group
[04:15] <Stanton> SebNaitsabes, it works great under wuindows before i had reinstall linux to fix a huge issue that could not be fixed and now i get freeze ups on a fresh install
[04:16] <Prose> hi all, apache weirdness: i can get my web page with local ip and I can ssh into my webserver with external IP but I can't get webpage through external IP :(
[04:16] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, it's in Add/Remove, idk what javaws is though
[04:16] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton: what about on Windows?
[04:16] <myo> but now, since I'm only a member of the groups 'disk' and 'admin', might someone be so kind as to give me a list of all the groups a normal ubuntu user should be a member of?
[04:16] <Meshezabeel> also, how do I tell if I'm running 32bit or 64bit, it's been a while since I installed it, so don't remember which one I finally installed
[04:17] <Stanton> SebNaitsabes, i am on windows right now this usb adatport has worked better than my wired connection soo now i am moved into a place where i have to have wifi :(
[04:17] <hellohello> !help
[04:17] <IdleOne> Prose: you have to forward port 80 to your internal ip in router. don't ask me how, search for info on port forwarding for your router
[04:17] <shiloh7> myo, #compiz-fusion is helpful
[04:17] <mojo> hi!  i have a question regarding email services on ubuntu server (hardy i386)... I am following http://www.linux.com/feature/146613 with the intention of using fetchmail to get mail from my google and yahoo accounts, as well as some yahoo, hotmail, and comcast accounts for my roomies.  exim4 is installed already (for whatever reason).  Q1:  Will replacing exim4 with postfix be okay for whatever program needed a mailer (i think apache2)???
[04:17] <mojo>  Also, the install asks what TYPE of mail server.  Can I use Internet + Smarthost and LATER make my server a proper domain mail server on my dyndns account????  THANKS!!!
[04:17] <Meshezabeel> bringatowel, javaws is what is needed to launch the jnlp applications
[04:17] <eurozip> in /etc/snmpd.conf, I have com2sec readonly  default         public and in /etc/default/snmpd I have "SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'" where I removed the localhost bind... however I still cannot get it to listen on the network address
[04:17] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton:  yes  Windows dirvers in Linux with ndiswrapper won't be perfect I guess
[04:17] <Prose> IdleOne: I did forward port 80 much like I forwared port 22
[04:17] <myo> shiloh7: I'm not sure. I'm just looking for someone to run the groups command, and paste the output here
[04:18] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, well if the Java browser plugin will let you install it, then you have 32 bit, it wont then you have 64 bit ;)
[04:18] <Stanton> SebNaitsabes, all i know is it worked before.. but um... i do think i get freeze ups even with wireless turned off
[04:18] <eurozip> snmpd is running correctly, with the correct SNMPDOPTS
[04:18] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton:  and hardwired should work better than wireless
[04:18] <n-iCe> oidentd uses my user name as ident, is there a way to change it, without create a new user?
[04:18] <eurozip> however it will not listen on my local network, any ideas?
[04:18] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, hmm well iirc some websites that use .jnlp work for me just using sun java + browser plugin
[04:18] <^Phantom^> omg
[04:19] <^Phantom^> can i even run win98 on virtualbox?
[04:19] <IdleOne> ^Phantom^: probably yeah
[04:19] <mojo> I am also interested in implementing a private jabber server for myself and friends/relatives available via dyndns domain.  Jabber addy's look like email addy's... do they need to be in sync with local postfix mailbox names?
[04:19] <SebNaitsabes> yes you can run 98 on Virtualbox
[04:19] <Stanton> SebNaitsabes, i would go wired but i have no wired accesse here.... i was kinda forced into wieless...
[04:20] <SebNaitsabes> ok see my PM
[04:20] <^Phantom^> i have an install cd with a key :D
[04:20] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton
[04:20] <Meshezabeel> bringatowel, does this site work for you? You can make up any name you want: http://tinyurl.com/5db9xq
[04:20] <Stanton> SebNaitsabes, besides how could wireless freeze an entire computer?
[04:20] <IdleOne> Prose: I don't even get a ping response. make sure the settings are correct in your router is all I can suggest
[04:20] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton:  buggy driver for Ndiswrapper?
[04:21] <Prose> IdleOne: okay thanks :)
[04:21] <Datz> hello, do any repositories still have airsnort?  I tried adding a few that should, but the package manager couldn't find anything.
[04:21] <IdleOne> Prose: just got a response
[04:21] <Stanton> SebNaitsabes, if thats the case i might be able to fix it be back later.
[04:21] <SebNaitsabes> Stanton: in fact another one of these USB adapters not the one you have, can cause Blue Screen of Death in Windows
[04:21] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, yeah it looks like it :)
[04:22] <n-iCe> oidentd uses my user name as ident, is there a way to change it, without create a new user?
[04:22] <Meshezabeel> bringatowel, uname -a suggests that I am running 64-bit version
[04:22] <st3ph> how can i add different servers on pidgin?
[04:22] <SebNaitsabes> accounts
[04:23] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, that might be more difficult then, i think you need to install the 32bit version of java, but i have not tried that before
[04:23] <SebNaitsabes> account manage
[04:23] <SebNaitsabes> at teh top
[04:23] <SebNaitsabes> acounts manage at the top
[04:23] <Meshezabeel> bringatowel, hmm, for me, I asks me if I want to open with Java Webstart, I say yes, it downloads it but then doesn't seem to do anything else
[04:23] <st3ph> ty
[04:23] <IdleOne> !java64
[04:24] <Blaze_Boy> can any one give me help .... i want to make an account on deviantart and the IP range is banned ... i want a volunteer to make me an account please ... talk to me on private...that's the only way i can make an account and i need it .. pleeez..
[04:25] <Datz> Is anyone able to get a result for "airsnort" with synaptic?
[04:25] <danbh_intrepid> Datz: nope
[04:25] <Meshezabeel> okay, thanks bringatowel, at least I kind of have an idea what is causing the problem
[04:25] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, yeah that might be because the browser plugin doesn't seem to be compatible with 64bit java, you might want to do a search for installing 32bit java in 64bit linux
[04:25] <Datz> ok, thank you
[04:25] <danbh_intrepid> Blaze_Boy: try emailing  the<EMAIL_ADDRESS> and sell your case there
[04:26] <Blaze_Boy> it's faster if someone make me an account
[04:26] <bringatowel> Meshezabeel, sure, you saw that link from ubottu right?
[04:26] <Meshezabeel> bringatowel, oh, no thanks :) and thanks IdleOne
[04:26] <danbh_intrepid> Datz: it looks like it was in dapper

[04:27] <Datz> danbh_intrepid, is there a way to get the package and install it on to hardy?
[04:27] <remu> Hey guys, I'm trying to get the following to work, any ideas what I should do? The problem I am having is that the audio seems to stutter/loop, the card is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[04:27] <Meshezabeel> :)
[04:27] <bringatowel> mojo, 4 transgalactic gargle blasters, on helium ice plz ;)
[04:28] <danbh_intrepid> Datz: it looks like it was removed from hardy
[04:28] <d0lphin> who can give me a command line mail tool?
[04:28] <Flannel> d0lphin: Define tool
[04:28] <Datz> danbh_intrepid, ah so they want you to do it the hard way.
[04:28] <mojo> bringatowel:  maybe you can fire up that improbability drive and help me get my server running smooth for me?
[04:28] <Blaze_Boy> can any one give me help .... i want to make an account on deviantart and the IP range is banned ... i want a volunteer to make me an account please ... talk to me on private...that's the only way i can make an account and i need it .. pleeez..
[04:28] <Meshezabeel> so long and thanks for all the fish
[04:29] <IdleOne> d0lphin: Synaptic can or apt-cache search
[04:29]  * mojo sticks his head in a bucket of water
[04:29] <Flannel> Blaze_Boy: please don't ask about that here.  Try somewhere else, or #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:29] <microchip420> heys guys, how do i add an app to the panel when it doesnt appear in the menu? epiphany web browser to be specific
[04:29] <danbh_intrepid> Datz: I bet you could just go to the debian archives, and install it from there.  According to the info I see, they made no changes from the debian version to the ubuntu version
[04:29] <arquebus> dolphin-pine, but I dont know if its currently in the repo
[04:29] <bringatowel> mojo, that does sound ... improbable ... (feel free to ask though and ill try)
[04:30] <d0lphin> thanks a lot
[04:30] <Datz> danbh_intrepid, thanks for the info, I see that aircrack is in the repo so I will try that.  ;)
[04:30] <danbh_intrepid> Datz: hehe, Im installing from the gutsy repo as we speak
[04:30] <mojo> bringatowel:  well i asked earlier, really, it is my inexperience running mail servers.  exim4 is on the box due to some program needing a mailer (apache2 i think?  i forget).  but i want to replace with postfix, use fetchmail to grab my gmail stuff (and others), and LATER use it as my own mail server on my dyndns domain
[04:30] <Flannel> arquebus: pine is non-free, mutt is the free clone.
[04:30] <Datz> danbh_intrepid, sweet, I will try it too then
[04:31] <Datz> danbh_intrepid, do I add a URl to the sources.list or somthing?
[04:31] <radioaktivstorm> is there a reason why java would register a key held down with keyrelease and keypress repeatedly under ubuntu?
[04:31] <danbh_intrepid> Datz: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/airsnort/
[04:32] <mojo> bringatowel:  thing is 1) will replacing exim4 with postfix still let whatever it was mail out?  (drop in repl?), also, installing Postfix asks what TYPE of server.  Should I choose Internet + Smarthost, so i can have gmail fwd'd to the gmail server to go out, and comcast to the comcast server, while still having the ability to make my own internet mail services off my dydnds domain in the near future?
[04:32] <evan__> 大家好

[04:32] <microchip420> heys guys, how do i add an app to the panel when it doesnt appear in the menu? epiphany web browser to be specific.....
[04:33] <Datz> danbh_intrepid, thanks  ;)
[04:33] <danbh_intrepid> Datz: it doesnt seem to work :(
[04:33] <Datz> :(
[04:33] <Datz> ok
[04:33] <bringatowel> mojo, yikes, i have no clue, never had to set up a mail server actually. maybe it would be helpful to figure out what exactly is using the current server? it seems like you will have to configure the new server anyway, but im not sure =P
[04:33] <mojo> microchip420:  if you edit the menus, can you activate the menu item?  it may be there but inactive.  activate it then drag/drop to the panel
[04:34] <mojo> bringatowel:  i just can't remember, and forgot to make notes (like a real braniac)... i think it just wants to use cmdline "mail" to send out notifications.  i am _pretty sure_ it was apache2 that wanted that
[04:35] <patrickmn> how do i save an edited apache conf file?
[04:35] <microchip420> mojo: i will check
[04:35] <danbh_intrepid> patrickmn: whats the problem?
[04:36] <mojo> patrickmn:  depends on what editor you used?  ^w^q in nano/pico :wq in vi methinks
[04:36] <mojo> sry, ^o^x in nano
[04:36] <patrickmn> I just setup apache to toy around with and I cannot save and edited conf file.  I am using gedit
[04:36] <danbh_intrepid> patrickmn: try gksu gedit next time
[04:36] <tuxxy__> hey anyone have any ideas how to get system sounds working on hardy?
[04:37] <bringatowel> mojo, is there some way you can test it?
[04:37] <mojo> patrickmn:  well you may be editing it as the USER without WRITE permissions to the config file.  you should use alt-f2 to type in a command to run and use gksudo gedit to run gedit with super-user permissions
[04:38] <ballzee> i typed chown -fRv ballzee:ballzee /media/OneTouch4/*   and root still owns everything what am i doing wrong ?
[04:38] <mojo> bringatowel:  well i am DOING the install, my main question is about the TYPE of server to install... but i guess it's no harm if i have to backtrack later... this is just me tinkering right now.
[04:38] <Crayboff> umm i need some help with a psych project, if anyone wishes to help me. is it possible to do private chat?
[04:39] <danbh_intrepid> ballzee: what is that folder mounted to?  a formatted partition?  what format?
[04:39] <bringatowel> mojo, hehe well, good luck, just remember not to panic :D
[04:39] <strategy> Crayboff,  psych project ?
[04:39] <strategy> wuzzat mean
[04:39] <mojo> well what the heck, i'll just run with "internet + smarthost" and see what happens.  if something else breaks because of exim4 removal then i'll deal with that
[04:39] <patrickmn> thank you, that resolved my issue.  is this a normal way to go abouts playing around with web development on ubuntu?
[04:39] <Crayboff> psychology project
[04:39] <strategy> ah
[04:39] <patrickmn> or am i doing it bass ackwards?
[04:40] <Beryllium> I want to configure SSH to listen on multiple ports; on the standard SSH port, I want it to allow all users to log in, but on a second port I want to restrict it to only allowing a single user to use that port. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
[04:40] <Crayboff> i'm supposed to strike up an informal conversation with someone and see what I learn about myself
[04:40] <Flannel> patrickmn: What are you trying to do with your edits?
[04:40] <mojo> patrickmn:  the security model of running as a user w/o priv's and using sudo (cmdline) or gksudo (gui) to run AS superuser is the preferred ubuntu way
[04:40] <Agent_bob> anyone know how to make wvdial/pppd not redial when a connection is lost ?
[04:40] <greenie> anybody got Colinux working with ubuntu with gui?
[04:40] <danbh_intrepid> patrickmn: I have a separate /home to save my configurations, so I like to store the apache files on /home, and sym link to them from wherever apache wants them
[04:41] <tuxxy__> does anyone have any idea why system sounds play when i manually run them but otherwise dont play on events as they should
[04:41] <patrickmn> well, the first thing I was thinking about was to change the apache configuration to point to /home/USERID/var/www
[04:42] <Flannel> patrickmn: Nah, that's the wrong way to do it.  We have userdir for that.
[04:42] <eurozip> can anyone help with snmpd, I cannot get it to listen on anything but <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:42] <patrickmn> danbh_intrepid: good idea, thanks
[04:43] <eurozip> it's listening on <IP_ADDRESS>, however it will not allow access from anywhere but localhost
[04:43] <eurozip> udp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:161             <IP_ADDRESS>:*                           -
[04:43] <Ikarius> eurozip- my guess is that the communities aren't set up right
[04:43] <joeb3_> eurozip, don't know the exact command, but your snmpd.conf has to allow connections from other addresses.
[04:44] <eurozip> mine too, but I've been changing them around for hours
[04:44] <eurozip> no resolve
[04:44] <eurozip> com2sec mynetwork <IP_ADDRESS>/24          public
[04:44] <eurozip> group MyROGroup v1         mynetwork
[04:44] <eurozip> access MyROGroup ""      any       noauth    exact all    none  none
[04:44] <eurozip> those are the three lines that matter
[04:44] <Meshezabeel> join #icedtea
[04:44] <eurozip> I don't understand what's going on
[04:45] <charles3> okay I bought a PC and it came with foresight linux, and it sucks i somehow deleted the administrator user or w/e the big problem with this comp is there is no CD ROM so should I switch to ubuntu?
[04:45] <eurozip> Sep 10 22:38:33 marlin snmpd[4099]: netsnmp_assert !"registration != duplicate" failed agent_registry.c:535 netsnmp_subtree_load()
[04:45] <eurozip> that's the only thing in syslog
[04:45] <charles3> i only want this comp for a postgresql database to be held on the comps on my local network
[04:45]  * Crayboff confused
[04:45]  * Crayboff has never used IRC before, so please forgive him while he tries out commands
[04:46] <MYHOME> what
[04:46] <RaW[b33f]> Everything works - but I cant see my Windows machine in a Samba browse. SSH/SFTP works great between them, RDP works fine, but the (k)ubuntu ox can (by samba) see the Win box ... any help?
[04:46] <Ikarius> eurozip maybe you're trying to configure the same community twice?
[04:46] <MYHOME> i am mr.myhome
[04:46] <MYHOME> plz don't hack my laptop plz
[04:46] <charles3> how do i install ubuntu to a flash drive?
[04:47] <bazhang> !usb
[04:47] <eurozip> I only have 2 communities ikarius
[04:47] <eurozip> hmm
[04:47] <MYHOME> i think i am the smartest one in here
[04:47] <eurozip> well, there's
[04:47] <eurozip> com2sec local    localhost      public
[04:47] <eurozip> com2sec mynetwork <IP_ADDRESS>/24          public
[04:47] <bazhang> MYHOME, this is not a chat channel.
[04:47] <RaW[b33f]> MYHOME then help me
[04:47] <eurozip> would that be the issue? both being public
[04:47] <Ikarius> donno euro... I havent fiddled with snmp on ubuntu yet, only on CentOS
[04:47] <bazhang> MYHOME, you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:47] <MYHOME> where is the chat channel?
[04:47] <eurozip> I think you might have solved it, let me restart
[04:48] <Ikarius> euro- simply restart the snmp service
[04:48] <Ikarius> no need to reboot
[04:48] <charles3> thx bazhang
[04:48] <bazhang> charles3, also pendrivelinux.com
[04:49] <Flannel> MYHOME: #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:49]  * Ikarius ignores the troll
[04:49] <eurozip> still doing the same thing ikarius
[04:49] <shiloh7> is it possible to have KDE and Gnome?
[04:50] <bazhang> shiloh7, yes
[04:50] <joeb3_> eurozip, do you have snmpconf?
[04:50] <shiloh7> bazhang, i am not familiar with KDE, so I am thinking best way to learn is to have both enviornments
[04:50] <charles3> wow all this comp talk doesnt make much sense to me
[04:51] <charles3> is all I do is dl ubuntu and put the file on the flash drive?
[04:51] <charles3> then try to boot from that?!?
[04:51] <bazhang> shiloh7, kubuntu-desktop is what you need to install to get that
[04:51] <RaW[b33f]> You have to make it bootable
[04:51] <bazhang> charles3, no; best to read the links
[04:51] <ushimitsudoki1> shiloh7: you can install both and then select which "session" you want to use at the login screen. applications based on either KDE or GNOME can run under either one. That is, you can run a "KDE app" on a "GNOME desktop"
[04:51]  * RaW[b33f] points @ bazhang
[04:52] <eurozip> yes joe
[04:52] <charles3> im reading link sand they have unt the partition (mount /dev/sda1 /mnt) and copy the following files from the Ubuntu archives to the stick:
[04:52] <charles3>     *
[04:52] <charles3>       vmlinuz (kernel binary)
[04:52] <charles3>     *
[04:52] <charles3>       initrd.gz (initial ramdisk image)
[04:52] <FloodBot1> charles3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:52] <charles3>     *
[04:52] <eurozip> I tried that also, still nothing
[04:52] <shiloh7> cool, ty
[04:52] <Ikarius> euro- didn't have snmpd installed on my ubuntu
[04:52] <Ikarius> I was gonna fiddle with it eventually anyhoo, lemme install it quick
[04:52] <eurozip> ok, ty ikarius
[04:52] <magbuntu> woo, got it :)
[04:52] <arooni-mobile> i was trying to get my 7 button mouse working (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28374) but now i'm getting the error: 'your session only lasted less than 10 seconds" ... and errors in ~/.xsession-errors file shows: /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

[04:53] <ravendark> charles3: no there is more to it than that, i suggest a nice little utility called unetbootin to help, find it at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[04:54] <charles3> okay im sorry for noob question, but I can dl that on my windows pc put in a usb and install ubunto ont that usb flash drie, then put flash drive into other comp and install ubuntu from it?
[04:54] <charles3> right? :x
[04:54] <Cacodemon> Why can't Ubuntu detect my 56K modem, yet Windows makes it SO easy to connect to the internet?!?
[04:55] <RaW[b33f]> charles3 no
[04:55] <charles3> then what do I have to do? :/
[04:55] <bazhang> charles3, read the links fully
[04:56] <charles3> lol the links make 0 sense
[04:56] <RaW[b33f]> charles3 - it is not easy - I will tell you that
[04:56] <Kai_wp> For some reason Totem Video Player will no longer play music and plays video without sound, VERY laggy. VLC plays video but has no sounds. I just played a video with sound fine in both players 10 minutes ago, why would it stop working? I didn't change anything related to the programs, video or audio.
[04:56] <Ikarius> eurozip: http://pastebin.com/d6dca223e
[04:56] <wickedpuppy> Kai_wp, are you on youtube ?
[04:56] <Ikarius> try those, see if that works for you
[04:56] <charles3> raw is there someway I can dl ubuntu on a computer and install it that way?
[04:57] <danbh_intrepid> !winmodem | Cacodemon: looks like they are working on it
[04:57] <deamonknight> good day. how do i upgrade my kernel to 686 version? that has smp? thank you
[04:57] <eurozip> Ikarius, I figured it out
[04:57] <Cacodemon> Ubuntu is installed onto my C drive, yet I can't browse it.
[04:57] <SebNaitsabes> Kai_wp: yes  try Youtube if no sound there either  try this:  open terminal and  sudo kilall  pulseaudio    then try something that makes sound
[04:57] <Cacodemon> Only my D and E drive I can use.
[04:57] <eurozip> turns out I am just an idiot... too many damn servers... was all confused on which one I was on
[04:57] <Ikarius> ....
[04:57] <eurozip> thanks for your help
[04:57] <danbh_intrepid> deamonknight: if you are running the latest ubuntu, you have it already
[04:57] <Ikarius> that will do it
[04:58] <gaintsura> hey all, I'm having a problem getting my firewall to allow svn connections, and I don't use it often enough to take and unblock it. Could someone send me the latest svn of linux uvc?
[04:58] <RaW[b33f]> charles3, yes  - download Ubuntu, and put it in your CD drive. It will easily partiion your drive and allow you to dual boot
[04:58] <Ikarius> danbh- any chance you could help me build an intrepid package for gutsy?
[04:58] <deamonknight> but when i do uname -a it says 386-generic
[04:58] <ravendark> charles3: that utility will indeed allow just that, stick usb stick into windows box, run app, and it will make the usb stick bootable, take to other machine, set it to boot from usb and install from stick
[04:58] <Flannel> deamonknight: -generic is for 686, and includes SMP support
[04:58] <Cacodemon> Why can't Ubuntu do anything with my C drive where it's installed on?
[04:59] <Ikarius> danbh- I'd like to update my dhcpd to 3.1.1, which is in intrepid.  I downloaded the source, patch & .dsc file, but it's giving me fits trying to build a .deb out of it
[05:00] <danbh_intrepid> Ikarius: no clue about that, sorry
[05:00] <Ikarius> gah, hokay. thanks anyhow
[05:00] <arooni-mobile> ok any suggestions on getting all 7 buttons of my 7 button mouse working ... in ubuntu hardy?  i dont want to blow it up again
[05:00] <Ikarius> er, wow, not gutsy. hardy.
[05:01] <danbh_intrepid> arooni-mobile: xmodmap didnt work?
[05:01] <Ikarius> c'est la vie
[05:01] <macvr> hi all... i'm a noob , could anyone suggest a good backup and restore program, which will take care of everything incase of a crash,  has a GUI. also i came across this program REMASTERSYS, from which u can create a Custom LiveCD of the present installation as it is, BUT it doesnt work in Hardy, could any1 suggest a similar program?
[05:01] <Cacodemon> I go to Computer and only the D and E drives are listed among with two hidden ones.
[05:01] <Flannel> !backup | macvr
[05:01] <Ikarius> macvr- check acronis trueimage
[05:01] <deamonknight> flannel: thanx
[05:01] <arooni-mobile> danbh_intrepid, xmodmap?
[05:02] <arooni-mobile> danbh_intrepid, right now xorg has it listed as a 5 button mouse too
[05:02] <Styles> Hi
[05:02] <Cacodemon> Thanks for the help. D:<
[05:02] <SebNaitsabes> Styles:  yes Hi
[05:02] <acp_> !sqeak
[05:02] <Styles> I am trying to install Ubuntu with 64bit (Intel Processors). I boot up and my screen is just boxes. (Only with ubuntu)
[05:03] <De[X]tone> afternoon guys...
[05:03] <Ikarius> hrm. I thought most monitors were rectangular....
[05:03] <Styles> Its like green and draker and flickers
[05:03] <deamonknight> Flannel: this is what i get when i type uname -a "Linux deamonknight-laptop 2.6.24-19-386 #1 Wed Aug 20 21:59:50 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:03] <deamonknight> " is this the newest one??
[05:03] <mojo> how do i change my host name?
[05:03] <danbh_intrepid> mmm, arooni-mobile: that guide was written years ago, and they have been making changes to xorg.   Where does xorg list how many buttons your mouse has?
[05:03] <Styles> Any ideas?
[05:03] <bullgard4> Why does there not exist a 'man sgrep'?
[05:03] <arooni-mobile> danbh_intrepid, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:03] <mojo> i am set to zen.no-ip.net but that is not valid; i want to switch to zen.dynalias.net
[05:04] <Cacodemon> Why doesn't Ubuntu show the drive it's installed on? Is it because it shares the drive with Windows Vista?
[05:04] <SebNaitsabes> show the drive where?
[05:04] <ushimitsudoki1> bullgard4: because you haven't installed sgrep?
[05:04] <mojo> !hostname
[05:04] <sely> the drive it's installed on is /
[05:04] <macvr> acronis trueimage, / !backup > are to crate backups? ......... is there anything that would create a Live CD of the present install?
[05:04] <Flannel> deamonknight: Did you install the -386 version yourself?
[05:05] <Cacodemon> Ubuntu and Vista is on C:/ and I have a D:/ drive.
[05:05] <bullgard4> ushimitsudoki1: Ah!  --  This is very likely the reason. Thank you very much.
[05:05] <arooni> danbh_intrepid, see here: http://pastie.org/270202
[05:05] <acp_> !squeak
[05:05] <danbh_intrepid> arooni-mobile: well, I think the guide was telling you to change the driver, which is why it failed later on.  I would undo everything you did, and just do the xmodmap
[05:05] <sely> there is no C: and D: in linux
[05:05] <SebNaitsabes> Cacodemon:  you cannot access or even see your Ubuntu partition inside  Vista,  unless  you have a driver for that, which is not a very good idea
[05:05] <deamonknight>  Flannel: no, its what got installed when i installed hardy heron
[05:06] <Ikarius> !dpkg-buildpackage
[05:06] <macvr> flannel/ ikarius>>>acronis trueimage, / !backup > are to create backups? ......... is there anything that would create a Live CD of the present install?
[05:06] <arooni> danbh_intrepid, instructions to use xmodmap?
[05:06] <Cacodemon> I can't see the C drive in Ubuntu.
[05:06] <Cpudan80> !dpkg buildpackage
[05:06] <Cpudan80> :-(
[05:06] <SebNaitsabes> Cacodemon: it won't be called C
[05:06] <Cpudan80> hrm...
[05:06] <Flannel> deamonknight: That's odd.  Ok, install linux-generic, then reboot and select it, and then you can remove the -386 images after verifying the -generic one works for a while.
[05:06] <earthbound01> Somebody please help me, I have ubuntu installed, but it thinks my 80 gb hd is only 40gb.
[05:06] <Ikarius> acronis trueimage can create an image that can restore a system to bootable state
[05:07] <deamonknight> Flannel: how do i do that??
[05:07] <Ikarius> I haven't fiddled with the backup packages the bot listed
[05:07] <arooni> how do i get the microsoft natural wireless laser mouse 6000 (mouthful) working fully on ubuntu hardy?
[05:07] <SebNaitsabes> Cacodemon:   open computer go to file system and media folder.   you should be able to access Vista in it
[05:07] <Cacodemon> Then what will it be called?
[05:07] <Cacodemon> Oh, ok.
[05:07] <Flannel> deamonknight: install  "linux-generic"
[05:07] <macvr> ok,so that takes care of the backup.... i want to also create A live CD of my install
[05:08] <macvr> is it possible?
[05:08] <Ikarius> macvr- don't think you'll find anything that does that
[05:08] <Ikarius> that's a pretty complex thing to do
[05:08] <macvr> REMASTERSYS.... has an option to create
[05:08] <Ikarius> and there's generally not enough space on an optical disk anyhow
[05:09] <gaintsura> could someone get the svn for linux uvc for me and send it my way? I cannot get svn to run
[05:09] <SebNaitsabes> Cacodemon: also it should be listed in Computer
[05:09] <ahtmly2k> hey is it possible to download americas army from the terminal?
[05:09] <danbh_intrepid> arooni-mobile: create a file: ~/.Xmodmap             add this line: pointer = 1 8 3 4 5 7 6 2 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20                      swap the numbers as  you see fit (each number corresponds to a button).  Notice how I have buttons 8 and 2 switched.  Thats so my thumb button acts as a middle click
[05:09] <macvr> BUt there is doesnt work with hardy!!!
[05:09] <SebNaitsabes> !wget |  ahtmly2k
[05:09] <CostaRicanQuaker> anyone can help me? i'm trying to install a secondary hard drive on my computer....i have ubuntu installed on this one and i want to add the other as a slave drive but i don't know how, they're both ide not SATA
[05:10] <SebNaitsabes> ahtmly2k: it's either in the repo.  or you can download   with wget as long as you know where to download from
[05:10] <arooni> imwheel -c yields:  expected 3 args, got 1, in config. .... how do i fix?
[05:10] <danbh_intrepid> arooni: see my msg above
[05:10] <arooni> danbh_intrepid, ah ok
[05:10] <macvr> !backup
[05:10] <macvr> !sbackup
[05:10] <macvr> !cloning
[05:10] <CostaRicanQuaker> i tried connecting them already but i think i got the wrong powerchord for the second harddrive as it did some weird noise and was undetected then when i used the powerchord that forks from the one the original harddrive it took a long long time to boot up then for grub to boot and then after the spalsh screen it sent me to this propmpt that said busybox something debian shell
[05:11] <Styles> So Ubuntu is messed up for me I had this is freakin out
[05:11] <Styles> The screen is not right its like blocky colors
[05:11] <Styles> Any ideas? I trid 64 bit and 32 bit
[05:11] <Styles> It only happens once I boot.
[05:12] <ushimitsudoki> Styles: sometimes on my laptop the screen is distorted when i boot up. If I restart X it fixes itself. Did you try that?
[05:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> help?
[05:13] <Styles> ushimitsudoki: what do you mean restart X?
[05:13] <Styles> ushimitsudoki: I can't even see the screen to get to the terminal or to anything.
[05:13] <earthbound01> Somebody please help me, I have ubuntu installed, but it thinks my 80 gb hd is only 40gb.  I'm booting off of a livecd right now.
[05:13] <tony_> how do i find the md5 of a dvd?
[05:13] <SebNaitsabes> Google for it
[05:14] <Ikarius> md5sum /dev/cdrom
[05:14] <SebNaitsabes> tony_: md5sum  nameofile.iso in Google
[05:14] <ushimitsudoki> Styles: You should be able to restart X with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. However, this might not help in your case. I thought you were seeing something, but goofy. Did you try to get a virtual terminal (CTRL-ALT-F1)?
[05:14] <Flannel> !md5 | tony_
[05:14] <SebNaitsabes> lkarius: sure, but he still needs to have the code to compare to
[05:14] <tony_> Flannel: thanks
[05:15] <Ikarius> SebNaitsabes: I answered the question he asked... useful answers cost .50 cents ;)
[05:15] <SebNaitsabes> lkarius:  sure or for free from ubottu :d
[05:15] <Ikarius> heheh
[05:16] <tony_> Flannel: that's for an iso, i need to make sure the dvd is the same
[05:16] <CostaRicanQuaker> can someone here help me add a secondary hard drive?
[05:16] <Flannel> tony_: Its the same way, just for the dvd instead of the iso
[05:16] <Cpudan80> tony_: MD5s don't matter
[05:16] <SebNaitsabes> CostaRicanQuaker:  try #hardware
[05:16] <Cpudan80> tony_: It can be gotten for any file -- even a simple txt file
[05:17] <FactTech> Question: Can anyone help me get DHCP *server* up and running?
[05:18]  * Debolaz finally caves in and installs winamp in wine.
[05:18] <`Matir> I have two SATA drives that both give me messages like http://paste.ubuntu.com/45619/ in dmesg.  No problems with the drives reported by SMART and no other notable errors, seem to work fine.  Any idea what would cause that?
[05:19] <ahtmly2k> i'd like to ask a question; in the synaptic, when i'm about to remove a package, there are two options; 1.mark for removal 2.mark for complete removal... what's the difference?
[05:19] <`Matir> the 2nd option removes configuration files, the 1st leaves them
[05:20] <SebNaitsabes> Dabolaz:  winamp in Wine hummmm there are good native Linux players these days
[05:20] <ahtmly2k> so if i choose the 1st, there'll be sum junk left... right?
[05:20] <Flannel> ahtmly2k: Those are global configuration files.  The userconfigs are never touched.
[05:20] <Flannel> ahtmly2k: Yes
[05:20] <ahtmly2k> ok thnx
[05:20] <`Matir> ahtmly2k, yes, files in /etc usually... useful if you're going to install from source but want to keep your config or anything like that
[05:20] <Kai_wp> wickedpuppy & SebNaitsabes : Sorry for the very long wait for an answer, but I'd like to point out that I do have sound, just not in the media players. >.<
[05:21] <SebNaitsabes> Kai_wp:  ok try this:  sudo killall pulseaudio  then try your music again
[05:21] <ripper> hi everyone
[05:22] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz:  Winamp in Wine hummmmmmmmm  Linux has good native players these days
[05:23] <jason> is there a simple way to remove ATI drivers and start from scratch? Everything was working with the "supported" drivers... then I had the bright idea of installing the ones from ATI. Now everything is all dork'd and I can't get either to work.
[05:23] <SebNaitsabes> !ATI
[05:23] <ripper> i know this is going to sound dumb since i have done this b4 with ez but i cant add a gdm to the login window manager. i hit add in the local tab and navigate to the gdm file but i doest see anything in them
[05:23] <arooni_____> i'm viewing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto ... i found out that with imwheel -c that my side buttons are 6 (should be back in firefox) and 7 (should be forward in firefox)... i already have   None,Left,Alt_L|Left;  None,Right,Alt_L|Right;  in .imhweelrc... what do i do now?
[05:23] <Debolaz> SebNaitsabes: I looked in the add/remove software dialogue, but didn't find many alternatives. The totem player is about as uncomfortable to use as it gets, and audacious seems to have huge performance issues.
[05:24] <Styles> I'll try the virtual terminal now, but how will that help?
[05:24] <Debolaz> SebNaitsabes: Audacious had extremely low sound volume for some reason too, despite every knob on the application and system being turned to maximum.
[05:24] <SebNaitsabes> Debolax:  Banshee has an old version in Hardy, but  there is a repo that can be added so  you  get the version that will be in next Ubuntu  (unless it's slightly upgraded by then)
[05:24] <ripper> i have download alot of different one from www.gnome-look.org but i cant get any of them to add
[05:24] <ripper> any help
[05:24] <Styles> It seems to me that it hates the video card, the box its being installed on is a x8 AGP nvidia 5500 I think (model # could be off)
[05:25] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz: Banshee is meant to be a lot better,  I haven't added that repo myself yet though
[05:25] <yates> i've tried to install the synaptic touchpad driver (apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics - Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server)

[05:26] <yates> yes, i've rebooted
[05:26] <firewall_03> I have a ? when someone gets a chance
[05:26] <Kr0ntab> firewall_03, just ask
[05:27] <yates> any ideas why the synaptic driver isn't being used?

[05:31] <Ikarius> good deal. I simply bypassed compiling the intrepid dhcp packages, downloaded the binaries and installed on heron... and it looks like it worked

[05:31] <Debolaz> After having added the repository.

[05:47] <Realcoolguy> (the guy who sold me the laptop said it'd be great for storage!)  alright, i'll make sure to answer a question for wasting lines like that ;)
[05:47] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz: might have spelt that wrong
[05:47] <Realcoolguy> chull: is the screen a flatscreen?
[05:48] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz: ,but all music players I have tried sucked in some form or theo ther
[05:48] <chull> Realcoolguy,  it's a gateway-VX900 CRT
[05:48] <Debolaz> Banshee uses about twice as much CPU as winamp does, but since winamp barely touches the CPU that's still not a whole lot.
[05:48] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz:  I just use Rythombox
[05:48] <bobertdos> earthbound01: So, this IS a Linux-only system, correct?
[05:48] <firewall_03> venger couldn't find package
[05:49] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz:  Winamp is crappy freeware from AOL
[05:49] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz: and Windows only
[05:49] <venger> firewall_03, because you don't have network?
[05:49] <SebNaitsabes> Debolaz: yes runs in Wine, but you should use native Linux apps when you can
[05:49] <firewall_03> venger yes.
[05:49] <earthbound01> bobertdos: linux only.  It used to have XP on it some months ago.
[05:49] <earthbound01> It went from being a windows only system to a linux only system.
[05:50] <Realcoolguy> chull: are you able to change anything on the screen resolution/refresh rate at all?
[05:50] <chull> earthbound01, i'm sure you improved it
[05:50] <Kr0nik> hey can anyone help me with wicd/wireless
[05:50] <chull> Realcoolguy,  resolution yes.. it just doesn't change hz
[05:50] <venger> firewall_03, enable cdrom in Administration->Software sources and load the heron CD?
[05:50] <Debolaz> SebNaitsabes: We'll see if Banshee will be able to replace winamp for me. Finding something that just works without some strange quirk has proven difficult for Linux applications in general.
[05:50] <bobertdos> earthbound01: I ask because the only reason I can think of for an eighty-gig drive being reported as forty would be if there were a partition Linux isn't detecting.

[05:53] <bobertdos> earthbound01: but do you know for a fact that Windows detected it as eighty? How about a live session? Maybe you should check to see if a Live session detects it as 80.

[05:57] <Kr0nik> i dunno i sued some program to install the firmware right over

[06:00] <Realcoolguy> chull: you probably need to install an ATI or NVIDIA Driver to get your display working fully
[06:00] <CostaRicanQuaker> sure the mmeory must be working as the computer's faster
[06:00] <outbackwifi> Kr0nik: does it have dhcp enabled
[06:00] <CostaRicanQuaker> but it doesnt let me turn off the computer when it shuts off it says there's not a daemon or something
[06:00] <Kr0nik> the router yes

[06:00] <JoshH> non-gnome applications have the normal double click selection, but i can't find any preference about that anywhere
[06:00] <Kr0nik> if i set it to dhcp and hit connect it wont obtain a ip
[06:00] <Ikarius> JoshH: don't think that's tunable
[06:01] <JoshH> Ikarius: i do have another hardy box at work, and it doesn't have the same issue.
[06:01] <firewall_03> venger what do I need to type to upgrade from 7.04 to the latest version I tryed booting from the cd and that didn't work but the cd worked on my other computer
[06:01] <Ikarius> JoshH: interesting. I've never seen any other behaviour than what you described
[06:02] <venger> firewall_03,  did you try sticking it in while booted and see if wanted to upgrade?
[06:02] <cheeky> could anyone tell me why all of a sudden my music doesnt comeback on when my speakers are on and my volume bar is to the max..i was streaming music b4on vlc and i started to play veoh videos in the browser .. and there was no sound from the video .. except vlc still had sound .. but when i stopped vlc .. .. and tried veoh ... still no sound and now i have no sound ... wat could be the problem?
[06:02] <Jordan_U> firewall_03: You can't upgrade directly from 7.04 to 8.04, you need to upgrade to 7.10 first then 8.04
[06:02] <ph0rensic> Grub is not autofinding my windows partition, and I don't quite understand how to make an entry to GRUB.. Any experienced users want to take a stab at it?
[06:02] <firewall_03> Jordan_U why does that matter
[06:02] <firewall_03> venger yes I did
[06:02] <outbackwifi> Kr0nik: if you do sudo dhclient ath0 (if that is your wireless interface) wht do you get
[06:02] <Jordan_U> firewall_03: Also, only the alternate CD / DVD can do upgrades
[06:03] <slashjamiec> ph0rensic: Looks like you've got a date with fstab :)
[06:03] <venger> firewall_03, there you go, burn another cd or actually why not just burn a fiesty cd and fix the network first by installing the madwifi package from the cd
[06:03] <Kr0nik> outback can i pm it to you?
[06:03] <ph0rensic> slashjamiec: What does fstab have to do with it?
[06:03] <firewall_03> venger I don't have the fiesty cd iso
[06:04] <ph0rensic> slashjamiec: I dont want to mount the drive.. i got it to do that
[06:04] <venger> firewall_03, download it
[06:04] <outbackwifi> Kr0nik: pastebin it pls
[06:04] <ph0rensic> slashjamiec: I want to be able to boot to windows for some obscure programs I need to run
[06:04] <slashjamiec> ph0rensic: Ooops. You want to be able to select the partition to boot from?
[06:04] <earthbound01> did chat go idle?
[06:04] <slashjamiec> ph0rensic: I see.
[06:05] <RickZilla> Ok, trying this again...apparently, the file I downloaded was corrupt somehow...going to try a different mirror and see what happens
[06:05] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: menu.lst takes center stage here :D
[06:05] <ph0rensic> slashjamiec: yah..It's weird because it always showed up in the boot menu till I installed kubuntu on a seperate drive a few weeks ago, and since then grub doesn't auto find it, even though it is on the same disk as my main ubuntu install
[06:05] <venger> anyone know for sure that the madwifi-tools package in distributed on the CDrom, i guess in fiesty it was in universe at that time.  i dont know the rules on that and i dont want to unknowingly mislead firewall_03
[06:05] <firewall_03> venger whats the download link for the older versions
[06:06] <slashjamiec> ph0rensic: Oh yeah ...ummm well
[06:06] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I agree, I just am not confident on how to write it.. actually here is a question, Say I have two drives both with linux drives on them, how do you tell which drive is loading grub?
[06:06] <earthbound01> bobertdos: when I installed Ubuntu I did allow it to completely wipe the drive.  I have no idea what the extended partition is for.
[06:07] <Madpilot> venger, madwifi-tools looks to still be in Universe; whether it's also on the CD-Rom I don't know.
[06:07] <slashjamiec> ph0rensic: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , then add a # infront of "hiddenmenu", and then try that. If it doesn't show your bootable windows partition then you'll need to manually enter it by
[06:07] <venger> firewall_03, acquaint yourself with google, search term; download fiesty
[06:07] <Kr0nik> outback: http://pastebin.com/m668e3269

[06:08] <RickZilla> ok, when I create a disk image for the file ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso, it should create a Live cd where I can try out Ubuntu, right?  For some reason, I'm not getting the "Start" option
[06:08] <firewall_03> venger no need to be a douche thats what I am doing
[06:08] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: If you've ever read the grub wiki entry, you would see that the partition in control is whatever "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns.
[06:08] <venger> firewall_03, well good luck on the remainder of your endeavor
[06:08] <Niche> Has anyone gotten MediaTomb to work correctly with their PS3 yet on 8.04???
[06:09] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: Thanks but you don't have to chastise me :-)
[06:09] <firewall_03> venger I will probably be back to ask more questions if u can stomach to answer me
[06:10] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: no
[06:10] <ph0rensic> slashjamiec: I know it doesn't show up on the menu because I have several entries for other OS's
[06:10] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Didn't mean it that way, sorry. I just am used to interpreting things for people. Actually, it's whichever partition grub regards as root.
[06:10] <slashjamiec> ph0rensic: okay
[06:10] <RickZilla> Ok, how do I create a Live CD then/
[06:10] <_phoenix_> i cant unse dpkg
[06:10] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: Doesn't that depend on which OS I am currently in though?
[06:11] <ph0rensic> Or which drive I am booted in to?
[06:11] <_phoenix_> Starting Monitor Daemon for Secure Virtual Private Network: cp: cannot stat `/etc/inittab': No such file or directory
[06:11] <_phoenix_> invoke-rc.d: initscript secvpnmon, action "start" failed.
[06:11] <Jordan_U> _phoenix_: Why not?
[06:11] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: the alternate cd, is not the livecd.  the livecd IS the livecd.  Thats the main difference...
[06:11] <_phoenix_> dont know
[06:11] <RickZilla> ah, ok...that's available for download also?  I musta missed it
[06:11] <Jordan_U> _phoenix_: Can you pastebin the errors if any you get when you try?
[06:11] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: ya
[06:11] <_phoenix_> Starting Monitor Daemon for Secure Virtual Private Network: cp: cannot stat `/etc/inittab': No such file or directory
[06:11] <_phoenix_> invoke-rc.d: initscript secvpnmon, action "start" failed.
[06:11] <_phoenix_> there is it
[06:12] <_phoenix_> !paste
[06:12] <RickZilla> On this page, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download, I'm not sure which one to download, if I want to create a Live CD
[06:12] <outbackwifi> Kr0nik: this doesnt look like you're connecting to the access point at all --> Link Quality=0/100  Signal level=0 dBm  Noise level=0 dBm
[06:12] <earthbound01> I'm off to bed, thanks for looking in to stuff.  If anybody has anyplace I should look regarding my harddrive misreading, please let me know.
[06:12] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Well, Windows is usually regarded as its own root because generally Grub chainloads Windows. Otherwise, it really just comes down to whichever partition you set as Grub's root when you follow that wiki.
[06:13] <Kr0nik> it says that even when i hit connect in wicd
[06:13] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: did you check the little box??  you want it unchecked...
[06:13] <balrog> how do i get thunderbird to display html mail?
[06:13] <balrog> *correctly
[06:13] <_phoenix_> jordan_u http://paste.ubuntu.com/45636/
[06:13] <hustledaily> Anyone here ever have problems with madwifi/wpa_supplicant and setting wpa-psk? I can see the card and see networks but cannot set my wpa key. I have the config file set, and tried to use wpa_cli with no success... ALL help appreciated!
[06:14] <RickZilla> danbh_intrepid:  The one right below "Start Download"?  It's unchecked...and I'm pretty sure it was unchecked when I downloaded it earlier
[06:15] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I suppose if I knew a little more about the boot process and MBR etc It'd make a little more sense
[06:15] <_phoenix_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/45636/ can anyone help me to fix this?
[06:15] <Jordan_U> _phoenix_: Would you mind filing a bug report against the secvpn package?
[06:15] <_phoenix_> jordan_u what?
[06:15] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: http://samaritan.ucmerced.edu/ubuntu-releases/cd/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[06:16] <JoshH> Ikarius: i got it fixed for gnome-terminal (which i cared about the most, by far) by adding some character classes to the "select-by-word characters" box in the profile settings
[06:16] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: I even hacked your location, and tried to pick a good server for you!
[06:16] <RickZilla> danbh_intrepid:  Thanks, somehow I downloaded the other one
[06:16] <JoshH> somehow i never noticed that there before
[06:16] <RickZilla> ha, thanks
[06:16] <Jordan_U> _phoenix_: That error seems to be a bug in the secvpn package that should be fixed, if you report it hopefully someone else won't have the same problem that you are having in the future
[06:16] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: My menu.lst looks like this, as an example. On average, my Windows entry is the standard. http://paste.ubuntu.com/45637/
[06:16] <outbackwifi> Kr0nik: how far away are you from the AP?
[06:16] <RickZilla> There's actually a mirror about 40 miles from here, but it's really slow
[06:17] <Kr0nik> my router?
[06:17] <Kr0nik> like 15 feet
[06:17] <Jordan_U> _phoenix_: Either way, do you need the secvpn package installed or is OK to remove it to get dpkg working again?
[06:17] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: well, you are from, Oregon, which I guessed is near Cali, so I pick the one in CA
[06:17] <RickZilla> There are about 3 closer...but this is working just fine
[06:17] <RickZilla> Walla Walla U., University of Idaho, and Oregon State University
[06:18] <RickZilla> This one is faster than those 3, I think
[06:18] <Jordan_U> RickZilla: Try using Software Source's automatic repository chooser
[06:18] <RickZilla> I've had a heck of a time getting the right file tonight...the first one was corrupt
[06:18] <chull> Realcoolguy, it sort of crashed but as son says "not entirely" .. someone flooded us off of undernet on all my clients..dunno if it's all related to the vonage phone losing it's call log (don't you love technology?)
[06:19] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: Here is my current config .. I sort of deleted on of the other OS's that was on my other drive so now just 2 OS's and windows is missing http://paste.ubuntu.com/45638/
[06:19] <bobertdos> earthbound01: I would maybe try installing Ubuntu again, and if you didn't the first time, use manual control so you can delete every existing partition yourself, and so that nothing happens that you don't know about.
[06:19] <argento> guys widescreen support on virtualbox is only supported on installed OS? I try to configure wide resolution on live cd trial...
[06:19] <Realcoolguy> chull: the menu i sent you to should let you install the driver as well, at least i think...
[06:19] <RickZilla> The help in here has been well appreciated, btw...I've never been on an IRC channel where the help came so quickly
[06:20] <b4b3> hello
[06:20] <Jordan_U> argento: You may be able to install virtualbox tools in the liveCD session, did you try that?
[06:20] <ph0rensic> RickZilla: Yes the Ubuntu channel rocks
[06:20] <RickZilla> A couple other IRC's I frequent are plain rude
[06:20] <RickZilla> GIMP, for one...and I use that software all the time
[06:20] <argento> Jordan_U, can you explain how?
[06:20] <ph0rensic> RickZilla: Try asking a simple question in Myth-users!
[06:20] <RickZilla> ha
[06:21] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: So, all that Mint stuff is also still part of your system, or no?
[06:22] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: This has to be the wrong menu.lst
[06:22] <RickZilla> My ultimate goal:  Get handy with installing/using Ubuntu, and install them on some older machines so I can loan them out to families from our school who don't otherwise have access to a computer
[06:22] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I don't have 7.10 anymore (LinuxMCE with kubuntu)
[06:22] <outbackwifi> Kr0nik: which driver did you use with ndiswrapper?
[06:23] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: it should only be 8.04 Ubuntu and Mint
[06:23] <outbackwifi> Kr0nik: was it WinXP or Windows 98?
[06:23] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Oh, well where did you pull it from?
[06:23] <Kr0nik> bcmwl5
[06:24] <Kr0nik> um i do not know
[06:24] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: My last install was the latest mint.. so I should go to that partition and pull the list from there?
[06:24] <Kr0nik> i can setup a shell acount for you and you can check it out
[06:24] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Well, if Mint happens to be the dominant loader right now, then yes.
[06:25] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: haah figured ok copying it now..
[06:25] <Kr0nik> i found a program in the ubuntu forums that had a python install file. i ran it and set it up to copy the firmware over and then the lights went on on my card
[06:25] <Jordan_U> _phoenix_: It seems someone else has already filed a bug report, do you need secvpn or is it OK to remove it to get dpkg working again?
[06:26] <Kr0nik> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990 i followed that
[06:26] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/45641/   .. How does BIOS know where to look for the correct menu to load?
[06:27] <ushimitsudoki> I am trying to adjust the latency of some devices. However after the appropriate "sudo setpci", when I check with "lspci -v", the latency values remain the same as before. Why can I not adjust the latencies?
[06:28] <kindofabuzz> uname -p  unknown   good or bad?
[06:29] <Ubuntu392944> Does ubuntu have like a central control center? To edit settings? Or just the usual KDE control panel? (Sorry if I sound confused, its because I somewhat am! im new to this distro)
[06:29] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Well, when Grub gets installed, it either gets installed directly onto the Master Boot Record (which is generally not the way people prefer to do it), or it gets installed to a specific partition, in which case I suppose a little flag or something like that is set upon the MBR to let the system know to jump there.
[06:29] <Kr0nik> kindofabuzz: i get that too.
[06:30] <kindofabuzz> Kr0nik, probably no biggie, it's supposed to list your processor.  are you amd by any chance?
[06:30] <Kr0nik> yeah
[06:31] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: If there are 2 drives that are both able to boot OS's how does it know which to choose? the MBR is in the first 512-byte sector of the HDD no?
[06:32] <Gnuyen> is there a way to make cp make all the directories
[06:32] <Gnuyen> in a path
[06:32] <Flannel> ph0rensic: the BIOS does
[06:32] <Gnuyen> like if i do cp testfile /someplace/someotherplace/testfile
[06:32] <kevin_> I'm running Hardy on an HP v6000, anyone have problems with the SYSTEM Standby? -- mine doesn't work...
[06:32] <Kr0nik> kindofabuzz: are you trying to find out what cpu you have?
[06:32] <ylmario> hey
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Gnuyen: You can use mkdir -p first
[06:32] <Gnuyen> and have it make the directories /someplace/someotherplace
[06:32] <Kr0nik> kindofabuzz: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:32] <ph0rensic> Flannel: Info gets stored onto the BIOS flagging which drives to look for the MBR?
[06:32] <ylmario> does anyone know how to get atheros cards working on ubuntu
[06:32] <kindofabuzz> Kr0nik, yeah i know, i'm just messing with commands
[06:33] <Flannel> ph0rensic: The BIOS is configured to boot to one of the drives or the other.
[06:33] <Gnuyen> Jordan_U: but no way to do it with cp or some other thing?
[06:33] <Assargadon> is it possible to find my logins and logouts history somehow?
[06:34] <^Phantom^[linux]> Hi :D
[06:34] <^Phantom^[linux]> This is cool
[06:34] <Jordan_U> Gnuyen: What do you mean "or some other thing"?
[06:34] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: So, if you take into account Flannel's point, part of your probably could be that your BIOS' boot priority is set to the drive opposite of what you want.
[06:34] <Gnuyen> Jordan_U: a different command
[06:34] <Gnuyen> basically I have a list of files and I don't want to have to parse out the path and pass it into mkdir
[06:34] <^Phantom^[linux]> Now, just one question
[06:34] <Gnuyen> and then do the copy
[06:35] <kervel> hello, my keyboard mappings are completely broken since last upgrade in ubuntu intrepid ... is this a known problem ?
[06:35] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: *part of your problem, I meant to say
[06:35] <Gnuyen> i want to do it with one command if possible
[06:35] <Kr0nik> Assargadon: try cat/dev/log/auth.log
[06:35] <kervel> no more alt gr, no more arrow keys, ..
[06:35] <^Phantom^[linux]> How can I get this VM to let the resolution go above 800x600?
[06:35] <Kr0nik> Assargadon: try cat /dev/log/auth.log
[06:35] <Kr0nik> woops
[06:35] <Kr0nik> missed a space lol
[06:35] <vn> hai, I'm with a laptop on a livecd and I want to test the CPU cooling that I just fixed, what would be a CPU intensive command I could use?
[06:35] <Jordan_U> Gnuyen: It would be a simple script using the "dirname" command
[06:35] <hateball> Assargadon: That'd be /var/log/auth.log , not /dev
[06:35] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I doubt it because the partition that has windows on it is the same as the other two OS's, I formatted the whole other drive just to see if that could be part of the problem for auto configuration of grub, and it didn't do anything
[06:36] <Kr0nik> yeah i ment var
[06:36] <Gnuyen> hrm
[06:36] <Gnuyen> that'll work
[06:36] <Kr0nik> woops big slip
[06:36] <Gnuyen> thanks
[06:36] <^P[ubuntu]^> there, shorter nick :D
[06:36] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: It is strange because grub has never done this to me before.. but also a good learning experience..
[06:37] <Jordan_U> Gnuyen: mkdir $( dirname $DESTINATION ) && cp $SOURCE $DESTINATION
[06:37] <Gnuyen> mkdir -p /backup/`dirname $filename`; cp $filename /backup$filename
[06:37] <Gnuyen> Jordan_U: or like that too
[06:37] <Nu> 1
[06:37] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Well, it seems to be that the loader with Mint in the list is the dominant one right now. Is that accurate?
[06:38] <Niche> Has anyone gotten MediaTomb to work correctly with their PS3 yet on 8.04???
[06:38] <EK9> Got a question! I'am using Transmission for downloading an Torrent file. And on Windows XP i was able to download at 300k\sec and on Ubuntu, i just downloading at 2k\sec... WHY? Please!
[06:38] <balz> how do you delete a directory and all of it's contents via command line?
[06:38] <Nu> มันเล่นยังงัยอ่ะ
[06:38] <Kr0nik> rm -f /directory
[06:38] <Jordan_U> balz: rm -r
[06:38] <Nu> พระเจ้าจอซ
[06:39] <balz> thanks
[06:39] <Niche> be careful now @! lol
[06:39] <Tha_Vampyr> Just wondering if anyone is using gtksee with gnome, and if so can they give me some pointers to get it going (newb)
[06:39] <Jordan_U> Kr0nik: Please don't suggest using -f when it is not needed
[06:39] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: Absolutely, so now we just have to edit it to work with my windows partition which I found to be on sdb1 btw..
[06:39] <Nu> ใครก็ได้ สอนหน่อย
[06:39] <balz> Jordan_U what's the difference?
[06:39] <Niche> do you know what rm -f /directory/ * would do
[06:39] <ph0rensic> the empty drive is sda1 ...
[06:39] <wat> okay I have a computer with no cdrom, if I go and buy a USB cdrom, will I be able to dl ubuntu and burn it to a CD then create a new partition on comp with the USB cdrom and install ubuntu that way???? will that work????
[06:40] <^P[ubuntu]^> crap i forgot how to mount my shared folder... <_< lol
[06:40] <ThePub> wat: if your mb supports it, sure
[06:40] <wat> i have a flash drive but apparently that wont be able to partition the drive
[06:40] <EJ> wat: if your pc's bios supports booting from usb
[06:40] <wat> so im guessing i have to buy a cdrom usb drive or something
[06:40] <Jordan_U> balz: One forces deletion even if there is a possible reason why the file shouldn't be deleted ( though it doesn't actually work with directories with -f alone ) the other recursively deletes all files in he directory and the directory itself
[06:40] <ThePub> wat: you could do it from flash too with a little work and another computer.
[06:40] <ph0rensic> ^P[ubuntu]^:  Can you navigate to it and right click mount?
[06:41] <wat> yah it has the options
[06:41] <wat> pub how, im clueless with linux is prob
[06:41] <balz> Jordan_U thanks!
[06:41] <wat> but id rather do it from flash drive
[06:41] <vn> Nu: english please, not sure if there's a thai help channel
[06:41] <hateball> !thai
[06:41] <Assargadon> hateball, Kr0nik : thanks. There are no such files in my ubuntu insatllation, but it helps me to find "last" command :)
[06:41] <EK9> Got a question! I'am using Transmission for downloading an Torrent file. And on Windows XP i was able to download at 300k\sec and on Ubuntu, i just downloading at 2k\sec... WHY? Please!
[06:41] <hateball> Nope, guess not
[06:41] <vn> heh
[06:41] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Alright, well Grub's labeling scheme is a bit different, but sdb1 probably means hd(1,0). Based on that, I'm guessing Windows was the first OS installed to your second hard drive, Ubuntu second, and Mint third. Correct?
[06:41] <vn> btw, I'm with a laptop on a livecd and I want to test the CPU cooling that I just fixed, what would be a CPU intensive command I could use?

[06:42] <Tha_Vampyr> yes yes i might :P
[06:42] <Tha_Vampyr> that said i dont actually have one :P
[06:42] <RickZilla> Just so I've got this straight...nothing in Ubuntu will support .mp3 files, but I can always download and install something like Songbird and play them from there...is that correct?
[06:43] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: The order is complicated BUT the partitions is somewhat like sdb1=windows, sdb2=linux root sdb3=swap sdb4=linux mint lemme double check that
[06:43] <hateball> RickZilla: Lots of applications support ,mp3, you just need the restricted codecs
[06:43] <^P[ubuntu]^> i'll try
[06:44] <RickZilla> ah, so Songbird wouldn't necessarily have that codec
[06:44] <magnetron> RickZilla, every app in ubuntu will support mp3 if you just get the right codecs. install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and you should be set
[06:44] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I knew there was something awry with GRUB's schema
[06:44] <^P[ubuntu]^> no
[06:44] <magnetron> RickZilla, exactly
[06:44] <RickZilla> good to know...thanks, do I just google that to download?
[06:44] <ph0rensic> RickZilla: Do it from the command line or use synaptic package manager
[06:44] <Aorjang> เอ้ย
[06:44] <hateball> RickZilla: Use the add/remove application
[06:44] <^P[ubuntu]^> ph0rensic: VirtualBox told me to type some kind of command
[06:44] <^P[ubuntu]^> I forgot what to type <_<
[06:45] <magnetron> RickZilla, no. go to Applications > add/remove, then find the package named "ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[06:45] <RickZilla> ...ok, but I need to download that package first, correct?
[06:45] <RickZilla> ah, ok...gotcha
[06:45] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Yup, but at any rate, I would put an entry in for Windows using hd(1,0). That's my guess.
[06:45] <NCommander> http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/ o_o;
[06:45] <RickZilla> I'm still trying to get a clean download!  :-)
[06:45] <reqqit> join #linuxhelp
[06:45] <reqqit> damn slash
[06:45] <magnetron> RickZilla, you don't need to download anything manually
[06:45] <Aorjang> hello
[06:45] <magnetron> RickZilla, just follow the instruction i gave you.
[06:46] <RickZilla> gotcha...I'm on my 3rd d/l attempt...the first one was corrupted, the 2nd was the wrong file
[06:46] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I was correct in my partitioning scheme
[06:46] <Aorjang> my name is aorjang
[06:46] <^P[ubuntu]^> ph0rensic:  I have the folder set up in VirtualBox but ubuntu is not seeing it

[06:48] <Flannel> !english
[06:49] <patrck> flannel can u help me with my essay
[06:49] <Flannel> patrck: No, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:49] <patrck> word
[06:49] <Tha_Vampyr> anyone using GTKSee?
[06:49] <Tha_Vampyr> (on gnome)
[06:50] <bobertdos> reqqit: Oh yes, heck yes, I've used Ubuntu Live sessions for so many backup/recovery type things, and I love it!
[06:50] <Niche> am I able to still use my gnome desktop if I enable and install kcontrol?
[06:50] <Jordan_U> Niche: Yes
[06:50] <bobertdos> !recover > reqqit
[06:50] <lunat1que> quelqu'un parle francais ici ?
[06:50] <patrck> flanned whats some good apllication
[06:51] <balz> how do i connect to a wpa2 wifi network on the command line?
[06:51] <reqqit> bobertdos, cheers - burning the live CD again (gave away last copy)
[06:51] <bobertdos> !fr | lunat1que
[06:51] <Niche> Jordan_U, so if I edit my minimized windows font color with kcontrol it will still work even though I use gnome, right?
[06:51] <lunat1que> tnx ubottu
[06:51] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: Ok so the 0 of hd(1,0) stands for the first partition of that disk? so it doesn't account for the first boot part of the disk??
[06:51] <wat> so what ubuntu do I need to install if I plan on burning it to a disk to use to boot/reformat my comp??
[06:51] <^P[ubuntu]^> Also, can I get the clipboards to "combine"
[06:51] <^P[ubuntu]^> so that I can easily copy text and files back and forth
[06:52] <balz> what's the cli command to connect to a wireless network?
[06:52] <Jordan_U> Niche: I don't think that kcontol will change any gnome preferences
[06:52] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: correct
[06:52] <Flannel> ph0rensic: By the time you get to GRUB, you're already past the MBR stage of the boot process
[06:52] <Bandman614> balz: I use "iwconfig <int> essid any"
[06:53] <Bandman614> then I run "iwconfig <int>" to see what essid it picked up. you can specify what essid you want it to get, instead of "any"
[06:53] <balz> Bandman614:  can you help me break that command down?  what is <int> essid any?
[06:53] <UUd> hai
[06:53] <ph0rensic> Flannel: Thanks I realize this, Im just coming to terms with how grub reads the drives
[06:53] <Bandman614> Well, for me, <int> is eth1. Some people it's wlan0. If you run "iwconfig" by itself, it'll tell you which one to use, because the others won't have wireless extensions
[06:53] <Bandman614> I think that's the terminology
[06:53] <Flannel> ph0rensic: the same way linux does, just with only numbers, and starting at 0
[06:54] <ph0rensic> Flannel: How does it determine between SATA and PATA, how does it issue priority?
[06:54] <Bandman614> essid any just says "pick up whichever wireless signal is the strongest"
[06:54] <balz> !l33tBandman614... i get lo and eth0 ... with no wireless extensions when i run iwconfig... is something wrong?
[06:54] <Flannel> ph0rensic: Its given a list of drives by the BIOS, so the bios handles that sorting.
[06:55] <ph0rensic> Flannel: OIC thanks dude.
[06:55] <Bandman614> balz: Your wireless driver isn't loaded. Do you know what kind of card you have?
[06:55] <bex> anyone able to give some advice on access the windows shares in nautilus. I have ubuntu 8.04, i have joined the windows domain successfully using likewise. however when i browse the network shares, the servers appear but not the shares within them. eg. smb://rtisrv/ has an empty window yet smb://rtisrv/rtiday (though it asks me for a username and password)
[06:55] <balz> Bandman614:  yes it's a ralink chipset.  rt2860
[06:56] <chull>  if 'escape' isn't working how can i get out of vi insert mode?
[06:56] <johninlex> anyone know how to save an image that is 26498X2254, I just created my own skydome pic and I cant save it
[06:56] <Rat409> chull: try :c
[06:57] <Bandman614> balz: Looks like this guy manually downloaded the source and compiled it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=683085
[06:57] <balz> Bandman614.  yeah that's what i just did
[06:57] <essial> Anyone know why I would get an "/lib/libc.so.6: file not recognized: File format not recognized" while trying to bootstrap the latest gcc (4.3.2)?
[06:57] <chull> Rat409, not if you can't get out of insert mode to make : work
[06:58] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: If I manually add a grub menu that is incorrect, will I still be able to boot back to the known good options>
[06:58] <johninlex> anyone know how to save an image that is 26498X22541 please help
[06:58] <Rat409> chull: hmm i'm no vi wiz maybe :q
[06:58] <ph0rensic> johninlex: Are you sure it is a resolution problem?
[06:58] <Bandman614> balz: ok. Did it give you a module to load, or does it interact with ndis?
[06:59] <johninlex> no
[06:59] <Bandman614> I don't have any experience with this chip, in case you were curious ;-)
[06:59] <balz> Bandman614:  i'm not sure.  how can i check?
[06:59] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Yes you should, and of course, if things go particularly bad, you can use a Live session to mount the drive and edit the file from there.
[06:59] <Bandman614> Did the "make" finish successfully?
[06:59] <balz> Bandman614:  no worries. i'm sure you know more than I do
[06:59] <balz> Bandman614:  as far as i could tell yes. i saw no error codes
[07:00] <johninlex> I can save the smaller one that I created earler, but I cant save this huge image ph0rensic
[07:00] <essial> are you talking to me bandman?
[07:00] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I loaded gparted to check my partitions and for the flags under the windows partition it didn't show it having a bootable flag, could this be why grub isn't finding it during its automatic search or is this normally how it will appear?
[07:00] <Bandman614> essial: no, sorry. balz
[07:00] <balz> Bandman614:  could this be a module?    MODPOST 1 modules
[07:00] <balz>   LD [M]  /home/louis/RaLink/os/linux/rt2860sta.ko
[07:01] <Bandman614> Could be. Can you paste the output into here and post the url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[07:01] <ph0rensic> johninlex: That is strange, Im not quite sure how to trouble shoot that, are you saving it to the same folder you saved in before?
[07:01] <Bandman614> yea
[07:01] <Bandman614> that's the url
[07:01] <Bandman614> err
[07:01] <Bandman614> module
[07:01] <Bandman614> (it's late)
[07:01] <balz> haha okay
[07:01] <FloodBot1> Bandman614: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:01] <balz> Bandman614. indeed it is!
[07:01] <ph0rensic> ^P[ubuntu]^:  What was the issue again?
[07:01] <Bandman614> heh.
[07:01] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Possibly, I'm not a hundred percent certain to be perfectly honest.
[07:01] <balz> so what do i do with the module?
[07:01] <ph0rensic> Flannel: ?? ^^
[07:01] <Bandman614> ok, balz. type "sudo insmod /home/louis/RaLink/os/linux/rt2860sta.ko"
[07:02] <Bandman614> that's saying "insert this module into the kernel"
[07:02] <aj_> i have bluetooth in my laptop...how do i use it in ubuntu?
[07:02] <Flannel> ph0rensic: bootable flags mean nothing to almost all OSes
[07:02] <johninlex> ph0rensic , I have tried to use another folder and the same one, diff. names, diff formats about everything I can think of
[07:02] <balz> Bandman614:  i think it succeeded silently
[07:02] <Bandman614> which will hopefully provide you the interface
[07:02] <Bandman614> excellent
[07:02] <balz> iwconfig?
[07:02] <Bandman614> run "iwconfig" again without any options
[07:02] <bobertdos> Flannel: Forgive me for being ot a moment, but I just want to give you ops credit where credit is due. I don't know how you guys do this every day. It's tiring! :D
[07:02] <^P[ubuntu]^> getting my shared folder to mount to linux with VirtualBox
[07:02] <ph0rensic> Flannel: Ok thanks I like u
[07:02] <johninlex> it would be a nicest skydome pic ever if I could save it, ph0rensic
[07:02] <balz> Bandman:  we are getting somewhere!  let me pastebin
[07:03] <Bandman614> ok, try the "iwconfig <interface> essid auto" again
[07:03] <Flannel> bobertdos: we appreciate it
[07:03] <ph0rensic> johninlex: Make sure you are saving to a folder that you have permission to write to
[07:04] <balz> bandman614:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/45649/
[07:04] <johninlex> ph0rensic I am the only user, thats not the problem
[07:04] <ph0rensic> Well you and root.
[07:04] <balz> Bandman:  what do i replace <interface> with?
[07:04] <Bandman614> hah, that's great :)
[07:05] <Bandman614> ra0
[07:05] <Bandman614> iwconfig ra0 essid any
[07:05] <johninlex> ph0rensic, yes I have no root, i took the root user out, I know I shouldnt have but i did
[07:05] <patrck> how do u spell suprise
[07:05] <aj_> can anyone tell me how to use bluetooth in ubuntu...iam not able to send or recieve any file
[07:05] <ph0rensic> surprise
[07:05] <Bandman614> surprise?
[07:05] <patrck> oh yea
[07:05] <patrck> thx
[07:05]  * bobertdos facepalms
[07:05] <balz> Bandman614:  i get this        root@kiosk:/etc/init.d# iwconfig iwconfig ra0 essid any
[07:05] <balz> iwconfig: unknown command "ra0"
[07:05] <Bandman614> google = best spellcheck evar.
[07:05] <Vladimir> i hate installing stuff on linux
[07:05] <Vladimir> you'd think
[07:06] <Vladimir> there'd be an easier way
[07:06] <ph0rensic> Vladimir: I love it it is too easy
[07:06] <balz> Vladmir:  .debs should be required under penalty of torture
[07:06] <Bandman614> reread your command line ;-) it should be "iwconfig ra0 essid any"
[07:06] <balz> oh duh...
[07:06] <johninlex> ph0rensic , I will figuare this out see you all soon thanks for the thoughts
[07:06] <ph0rensic> Atleast with using the package manager its easy .. synaptic and compiling are a pain
[07:06] <balz> it's late... lol
[07:06] <Vladimir> but no, it has to be tar svxflweart4 filedirectory.tar.gz upurasstoo/ls
[07:06] <Bandman614> Vlad: easier than apt-get?
[07:06] <SaraSmith> wife of chull... i broke it good.
[07:06] <ph0rensic> john ok gl
[07:07] <jahnkeanater> is there a addon i need for apache2 to use .swf files or is there something i have to do to fire fox
[07:07] <balz> Bandman:  Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
[07:07] <balz>     SET failed on device ra0 ; Network is down.
[07:07] <Vladimir> well i'm trying to get ndiswrapper on this system
[07:07] <jahnkeanater> i think its firefox
[07:07] <Bandman614> hrm.
[07:07] <SaraSmith> atm we have NO video..
[07:07] <Vladimir> so i can get my wireless drivers
[07:07] <balz> Vladimir:  what card?
[07:07] <Vladimir> and the install instructions may as well be in a different language
[07:07] <ph0rensic> .debs aren't always the best method to install
[07:08] <Vladimir> Dynex Wireless-G PCI card
[07:08] <balz> ph0rensic:  lies!
[07:08] <Vladimir> uses Broadcom i believe
[07:08] <^P[ubuntu]^> rather
[07:08] <^P[ubuntu]^> i put a folder up for sharing on my network
[07:08] <^P[ubuntu]^> how can i access that folder in ubuntu?
[07:08] <aj_> can anyone tell me how to use bluetooth in ubuntu...i am not able to send or recieve any file
[07:08] <Bax> what's the terminal command for deleting a directory, and all files and sub-directories within said directory?
[07:08] <bum> lspci -v
[07:08] <balz> Bandman614... i'm confused by the essid any part.  there's a specific network i want to join and i know the ssid
[07:09] <Vladimir> i picked it up for free from my buddy's house earlier today because trying to use ethernet and a hub to use my PC as a host did not work
[07:09] <ph0rensic> balz: .deb does make it easy yes, but they can also leave you hanging if they were compiled on slightly different versions of libraries than yours (for example)
[07:09] <Bandman614> balz: Then specify the name instead of using any
[07:09] <balz> Bandman;  the computer i'm trying to connect is already connected via ethernet too, if that matters
[07:09] <Bandman614> balz: but I don't think it will work yet. Try this: "sudo ifup ra0"
[07:10] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: So you think just manually enter that (1,0) entry that you have (and of course the other 3 lines or whatever) should do the trick?
[07:10] <Bandman614> balz: Na, the physical ethernet won't interfere with this any
[07:10] <balz> Bandman614:  Ignoring unknown interface ra0=ra0.
[07:10] <jahnkeanater> where can i install a flash pluging for firefox
[07:10] <Bandman614> ph0rensic: You're right, deb, like lots of others, has it's own quirks, but after 10 years of running Slack, I'm grateful for it
[07:10] <Rajec> guys does ubuntu become slower after using it for several months ?
[07:10] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: Ideally, of course one should always remain on guard when it comes to dealing with these things :D
[07:11] <jahnkeanater> i think i have gnash but i dont know if that works with the update
[07:11] <Rakuli> Good afternoon :D I was wondering if anyone knew how I could give 1 user (who is not an admin and cannot access sudo), the ability to restart apache -- presently I have to use sudo /etc... restart or be signed in as root.  Is there a permission for this, or a group I can add them to?
[07:11] <Bandman614> balz: try: ifconfig eth1 and see what it says
[07:11] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I didn't really understand some of the text i read regarding it is why I ask
[07:11] <wbmj> jahnkeanater: sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree
[07:12] <Bandman614> balz: I'm looking at this page here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-259234.html
[07:12] <jahnkeanater> k thx
[07:12] <balz> Bandman614:  not found. eth0?
[07:12] <balz> bc eth0 gives me something
[07:12] <Bandman614> eth0 is your physical ethernet, I'd wager
[07:12] <balz> seems like it
[07:12] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: I suppose now I know which file it is concerning and I have a livecd in case and I can just make a backup file
[07:13] <Bandman614> I hate to do this, but I've got to run. I've got to be up in 5 hours, and I've still got cleaning to do in the house. We're trying to sell it and someone is coming to look at it tomorrow
[07:13] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: The main concept to understand when it comes to the Windows entry is chainloading. This essentially just means that one bootloader loads another.
[07:13] <balz> are there any cheap wpa2-compliant wifi cards that ubuntu supports out of the box?
[07:13] <Vladimir> k entered lspci -v
[07:13] <UUd> hey
[07:13] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: Got it.. and now the grub structure makes sense (starts with 0 for partition 1 etc)
[07:13] <balz> Bandman:  totally understandable. don't sweat it
[07:14] <Vladimir> Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 (Airgotce One 54g)
[07:14]  * bobertdos nods
[07:14] <balz> just one quick question
[07:14] <reqqit> I've mounted the disk and backed up most things, but some files in the directory I don't have permissions to read --- these files were copied from a flash drive from a windows system
[07:14] <jahnkeanater> cant find
[07:14] <Bandman614> balz: here's the google search I was running
[07:14] <Bandman614> http://tinyurl.com/5f34pd
[07:14] <reqqit> I am using the livecd to access my home folder and backup files
[07:14] <balz> could the fact that it's a WPA2 network matter?
[07:14] <Bandman614> the wireless cards supported? I've never had problems with an intel chip
[07:14] <reqqit> some give me permission errors - even a sudo nautilus - can I tell nautilus I want to access these files, or somehow 'login' to access them?
[07:15] <Bandman614> I'm running this one now: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)
[07:15] <balz> Bandman614. at this point i'm willing to dish out some buckage.  i'll look into that one.  it was just plug n pleasure?
[07:15] <^P[ubuntu]^> i'll have to worry about the folder tomorrow after work
[07:15] <bobertdos> jahnkeanater: First, in order to save yourself migraines, purge your system of gnash. Now, do you have all the repos active?
[07:15] <^P[ubuntu]^> cause time for bed
[07:15] <^P[ubuntu]^> bye
[07:15] <Niche> What is an Option Argument in Unix?
[07:15] <Derath> Quick question about dist-upgrade issues?
[07:16] <Bandman614> this was built into the dell laptop I'm on, but other similar intel chips should be painless
[07:16] <magnetron> !gksudo | reqqit
[07:16] <Vladimir> just trying to see if anyone knows about the broadcom chip?
[07:16] <ph0rensic> Derath: Shoot it brah
[07:16] <unhu> I just upgraded to Hardy Heron and had to restart due to a freezup. But I got an error about GDM user

[07:16] <reqqit> I'll try that magnetron
[07:16] <Bandman614> just go to a place with a decent return policy

[07:16] <unhu> I have been using Ubuntu for months but have no idea what to do.
[07:16] <ph0rensic> bobertdos: so any significance to the 1 in chainload +1 ??
[07:16] <Bandman614> g'night
[07:16] <unhu> and I ma stuck in terminal only
[07:16] <balz> sounds good. night man

[07:17] <unhu> any help with a GDM error?
[07:17] <unhu> anyone?
[07:17] <jussi01> Derath: try sudo apt-get clean

[07:18] <unhu> jussi01, sorry about that
[07:18] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: Did you try the dokg command?
[07:18] <bobertdos> ph0rensic: I've always assumed that's best described as an "offset" as in, "The Windows bootloader ,is the second (Linux being the first) link in the chain."

[07:20] <ph0rensic> screen**
[07:20] <Rajec> jussi01: this is catolic channel ?:)
[07:20] <jussi01> Rajec: no, but it is "g" rated ;)
[07:20] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: When you boot it just blank or what?
[07:21] <chalcedony> Rajec: it's everybody related to Ubuntu
[07:21] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: is this a local pc?? or your remoting in?
[07:21] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: we have a lan .. i'm here on my desktop, we have a laptop in there and his box
[07:22] <ph0rensic> Ok but which pc is not giving display?
[07:22] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: last time we restarted it it had red.. and a lot of little red and white lines.. he restarted again and now its  black
[07:22] <Rajec> jussi01, chalcedony: hh ok ;) May I ask you for sharing your exprience of ubuntu? I am courious if its become slower after some time of using it.
[07:22] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: ok so this is a pc displayed locally then
[07:22] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: my husband's new desktop computer
[07:23] <chalcedony> Rajec: do top and see if you are using too much ram
[07:23] <clarenc1> How to use Ubuntu Recovery mode？
[07:23] <Vladimir> i'm about to trash this CPU
[07:23] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: ok ... how about when it goes through boot up do you see the bios entries etc?
[07:23] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: no .. freaked me out
[07:23] <Vladimir> everything i've read and heard suggests that the wireless card works
[07:23] <Vladimir> but it doesn't
[07:23] <Derath> Are there any other folders in /var that would be safe to delete for dist-upgrade? I need roughly 81M more space according to update-manager.
[07:23] <Vladimir> does Ubuntu have a problem with WPA2 encrypted networks?
[07:24] <chalcedony> Vladimir: if it's Hardy .. you have a challenge
[07:24] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: So you dont get any readable display at all? not even the bios boot screen or anything
[07:24] <Vladimir> indeed it is
[07:24] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: it didn't .. really no
[07:24] <genii> Anyone tried an ATI 4870 on ubuntu yet? I'm curious. I have now an 8800GTS which works fine, but this box dual-boots to XP Pro 64bit for gaming (COD4, Crysis) and toying with a card swap
[07:24] <Vladimir> the only reason this computer exists is to go online
[07:24] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: Do you have the livecd?
[07:24] <macGerhard> hi. I was upgrading Gutsy to Hardy, it stalled at "Reloading system cache" (or something similar). I've done a CTRL+C, now I can't restart the upgrade process. :(
[07:24] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: it worked fine the time before those but i messed with the .conf and hit control alt backspace (dummy)
[07:24] <chalcedony> it was flickery
[07:25] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: Try "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[07:25] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: my son did this install remotely.. we have been having a horrible time trying to get it to load from the 8.4 cd.
[07:26] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: OK, it restarted - phew. But it's at the same point where it was last time: * Starting kernel log daemon...
[07:26] <macGerhard> how long should that take?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: I don't know
[07:27] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: Ok i see... well you need to reconfigure your xserver settings .. does this pc have onboard gfx or a seperate card?
[07:27] <macGerhard> ok, because yesterday I've stopped it after about 10'-15'. Should it take THAT long?
[07:27] <ph0rensic> Jordan_U: Is there a command to load ubuntu in a console rather than a gnome session?
[07:28] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: Also is this from a wubi install or was this a full system install?
[07:28] <Jordan_U> ph0rensic: Yes, you can get to a tty with ctrl+alt+F1 and stop GDM  / X with "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop"
[07:29] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: I am pretty sure that it shouldn't
[07:29] <ph0rensic> Jordan_U: Sorry I meant during boot time
[07:29] <Zelbinian> Quick question - does anyone know how to give VirtualBox USB access to Ubuntu?
[07:29] <Zelbinian> If not I can go ask in the vbox chat
[07:29] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: ok. is there a way to stop this upgrade and rollback to Gutsy?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> ph0rensic: Recovery mode, but that also doesn't start networking and other things as well
[07:30] <cheeky> is there a  document on how to set up torrent clients for faster downloads?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: No
[07:30] <Derath> Zelbinian, Grab the non-free version from VB's website
[07:30] <C0L7> I just set up a dual boot with xp. I need to sync my ipod with itunes from XP, (i really dont like the music players for linux) anyhow...I need to be able to access my music folder in ubuntu from xp. any advice
[07:30] <Derath> Zelbinian, Basically the non OSE version
[07:30] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: it's because this is GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H  with an ATI card  and this monitor:  http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff-for-Sale-computers-software-Gateway-VX900-19-inch-Monitor-W0QQAdIdZ67326870
[07:30] <RickZilla> C0L7:  Songbird might be an option for you at some point...it's not quite iTunes yet, but it's getting there
[07:30] <Zelbinian> Only the non-free one grants USB access?
[07:30] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: crap. ok, now I've got a fail. Let's see the log.
[07:31] <chalcedony> ph0rensic the ATI is onboard graphics
[07:31] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: It gave you an error?
[07:31] <ph0rensic> Jordan_U: Ok, without editing the boot.lst how can you view the boot menu to select recovery mode
[07:31] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: just fail!!
[07:31] <Derath> Zelbinian, Yep, I've got it installed on another of my systems, and the non-free (as in free-speech) is the only one with usb support
[07:31] <C0L7> well until then any solutions on how to make my "music" folder in ubuntu the root for my itunes, in xp?
[07:31] <Jordan_U> ph0rensic: Hit escape when you see grub on the screen
[07:31] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: Setting up klogd (1.5-1ubuntu1) ...
[07:31] <macGerhard>  * Stopping kernel log daemon...
[07:31] <macGerhard>    ...done.
[07:31] <macGerhard>  * Starting kernel log daemon...
[07:31] <macGerhard>    ...fail!
[07:31] <FloodBot1> macGerhard: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:31] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: ATI ... figures...ok ok Im just an nvidia fan .. what did you change in xorg?
[07:31] <Zelbinian> . . . well, that does me no good.
[07:32] <Derath> Zelbinian, It's still free as in no cost
[07:32] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: Try booting into a previous kernel and trying again
[07:32] <nnull> my hardy keeps freezing requiring me to push power on the tower, where can i find why this is happening please?
[07:32] <Derath> Zelbinian, You just don't have the source code
[07:32] <valentinex> Hello after updates my installers etc not working :((
[07:32] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: hmmm. how do I do that?
[07:32] <Zelbinian> Ah.
[07:32] <ph0rensic> Jordan_U: Im trying to help chalcedony but she says she cannot get any display  at all, so I was going to guide her through dpkg-reconfigure xserv...
[07:32] <Zelbinian> I wonder which version I have installed . . . lemme check.
[07:32] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: this is a server btw where I have only SSH access...
[07:32] <Derath> Zelbinian, Enjoy VB, I know I do! :)
[07:33] <Jordan_U> ph0rensic: Tell him to boot into recovery mode from grub and try the "fix X" menu item
[07:33] <chalcedony> Identifier      "Default Screen"
[07:33] <chalcedony> Device          "Generic Video Card"
[07:33] <chalcedony> Monitor         "Gateway-VX900"
[07:33] <chalcedony> DefaultDepth    24
[07:33] <chalcedony> SubSection "Display"
[07:33] <FloodBot1> chalcedony: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:33] <Zelbinian> I have 1.6.4 (and yes, it's awesome) from the Sun website. Is that the one or do I need to download something else?
[07:33] <chalcedony> changed the 24 to 16
[07:33] <nnull> my hardy keeps freezing requiring me to push power on the tower, where can i find why this is happening please?
[07:34] <Derath> Zelbinian, One sec
[07:34] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: Oh, why would you want to do that
[07:34] <maxua> anyone knows why "ssh host sudo something" still asks a password? interactive shells do not (added NOPASSWD to sudoers)
[07:34] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: my friend said to
[07:34] <valentinex> Hello after updates my installers etc not working :(( have I lost my ubuntu?
[07:34] <chalcedony> what we needed to chage was from 60 HZ to 75 .. i didn't see a setting for that and exited.
[07:34] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: Was your display not looking right or something?
[07:35] <Derath> Zelbinian, Their website shows a 2.0 version, might have some new goodies
[07:35] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: Can you try to reboot the computer and press escape when the grub menu usually loads and boot to a recovery console (or chose a fix X option)
[07:35] <pun_jiwan> hi
[07:35] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: the standard setup that comes with Hardy FLICKERS i get sick looking at it
[07:35] <Zelbinian> *sigh* I'm never getting to bed tonight, am I? lol
[07:36] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: would it be a good call to have the server re-installed from image?
[07:36] <nnull> my hardy keeps freezing requiring me to push power on the tower, where can i find why this is happening please?
[07:36] <Zelbinian> Upgrading doesn't destroy any current VM's right?
[07:36] <matiu> What's the command to link a mod-available into mods-enabled (apache2) ?
[07:36] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: OK, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and change "default 0" to "default 3" and reboot, but be careful if there is no way for you to get physical access
[07:36] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: I think you want to chance the sync rate not the default depth
[07:36] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: ok
[07:36] <Derath> Zelbinian, You'll get in bed soon, I promise, unless you start playing :) And no, upgrades will not hurt the vms
[07:36] <chalcedony> i'll have to try that when we get that far
[07:36] <chalcedony> if
[07:36] <Derath> Zelbinian, I've done that one as well
[07:37] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: before I do that, I'm running top, init seems to be using 100% of the CPU..
[07:37] <chalcedony> ph0rensic:  if i remember right on that one it's more likc control f2 or f4 ?
[07:37] <nnull> my hardy keeps freezing requiring me to push power on the tower, where can i find why this is happening please?
[07:38] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: not to go to cmos .. we want grub boot menu options
[07:38] <Zelbinian> Ok, sweet. I just want to fill up my new Zune before I go to the freakin' gym tomorrow. Is that too much to ask? lol
[07:38] <chalcedony> ph0rensic: i'll go try restarting and maybe esc will make it visible .. wish me luck
[07:38] <Derath> Zelbinian, Should be up and running shortly after the download :) I think my last VB upgrade took about 7 minutes total including download time
[07:39] <ph0rensic> chalcedony: GKL
[07:39] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: I can't seem to find grub. this is a VM btw...
[07:39] <chalcedony> ty
[07:39] <valentinex> when I try to install anything it do nothing just silence :(( >>Hello after updates my installers etc not working
[07:39] <nnull> my hardy keeps freezing requiring me to push power on the tower, where can i find why this is happening please?
[07:39] <Zelbinian> "Delete old modules" hmm . . . that is very cryptically worded, Sun Microsystems. Be ashamed.
[07:39] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: Shouldn't matter that it's a VM, "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[07:39] <pingveno> Is there a particular way I should install Python egg files that works with the /usr/share/pyshared file layout?
[07:40] <Zelbinian> But thanks Derath
[07:40] <Derath> Zelbinian, No problem! and enjoy
[07:40] <RickZilla> Dang, my heartburn has really flared up this evening
[07:40] <Zelbinian> K, it still doesn't see my USB devices lol
[07:41] <valentinex> Help me ...... too waiting :)
[07:41] <nnull> my hardy keeps freezing requiring me to push power on the tower, where can i find why this is happening please?
[07:41] <Derath> Zelbinian, In the settings area (vm must be turned off) check to see if there's a check box for usb support
[07:41] <valentinex> nnull: :D
[07:41] <Zelbinian> Yeah, there's a checkbox for USB support and 2.0 support.
[07:41] <macvr> hi all......has any1 got the Texas 5in1 card reader to work in hardy?
[07:41] <Jordan_U> valentinex: Did you just upgrade from gutsy to hardy?
[07:42] <Zelbinian> But don't you have to add the devices to the filters list?
[07:42] <valentinex> Jordan_U: hardy
[07:42] <nnull> hihi valentinex
[07:42] <clarence> hello
[07:42] <Jordan_U> valentinex: Is that a yes or a no ? :)
[07:42] <valentinex> Jordan_U: I was at harday before
[07:42] <Zelbinian> The help file also says something about permission to access the Linux USB controller.
[07:42] <RickZilla> Ok kids, 3rd download tonight is imaged to the cd...here goes nothing.
[07:43] <Jordan_U> valentinex: Is there any output from "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ?
[07:43] <livingdaylight_> Good people of Ubuntuland, i can not play any of my music or movie files. Totem and Mplayer come up when i click on a media file, but nothing happens
[07:43] <valentinex> Jordan_U: I don't know much am new :-s I think I was at hardy and just got updates on existing hardy
[07:43] <valentinex> Jordan_U: I don't know about that output :-s
[07:44] <clarence> how to edit /etc/modprobe.d of the black list?
[07:44] <C0L7> anybody. ideas. just need to be able to read/write files to linux partition from xp
[07:44] <Jordan_U> valentinex: Please open a terminal ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and use the pastebin service to paste the output ( if any )
[07:44] <RickZilla> Sweeeeeet...it's working, so far
[07:45] <clarence> in last time, someone told me can use this way, but when I find out, that's a txt file
[07:45] <magnetron> C0L7, in fact that would be a windows support question, but i'll give you some hints; you need to download some extra software for windows that supports ext2 or ext3
[07:45] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: Did you get the menu.lst edited OK ?
[07:45] <SaraSmith> ph0rensic i'm chalcedony on the laptop. i hit esc and up to a point it DID have things i could see and read.. but not now.
[07:45] <error404notfound> I have install trac using easy install, I can't seem to find trac.conf
[07:46] <nnull> hihi valentinex
[07:46] <livingdaylight_> magnetron, can you help me with an Ubuntu support question :p
[07:46] <nnull> my hardy keeps freezing requiring me to push power on the tower, where can i find why this is happening please?
[07:46] <ph0rensic> SaraSmith: What did they say?
[07:46] <magnetron> just ask, livingdaylight_
[07:46] <livingdaylight_> i can not play any of my music or movie files. Totem and Mplayer come up when i click on a media file, but nothing happens
[07:46] <macvr>  hi all......has any1 got the Texas 5in1 card reader to work in hardy?
[07:47] <nnull> livingdaylight_, its because there are aliens in your pc :O
[07:47] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: ok, the file isn't there and locate cannot find menu.lst
[07:47] <macGerhard> I have to go now, but will catch up later
[07:47] <livingdaylight_> nnull, you may be right
[07:47] <SaraSmith> ph0rensic i don't remember very well.. maybe i try it again ? is there something I should be looking for?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> macGerhard: Well that makes absolutely no sense :)
[07:47] <valentinex> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/45654/
[07:48] <ph0rensic> SaraSmith: Well if it is the right menu you want to look for recovery mode and select that boot option
[07:48] <livingdaylight_> nnull, i thought one didn't have to worry about aliens in linux based os
[07:48] <nnull> livingdaylight_, and i thought it was stable :s
[07:48] <Jordan_U> valentinex: And what happens when you try to install software?
[07:48] <SaraSmith> ph0rensic i'll try again but i did't see it
[07:48] <ph0rensic> SaraSmith: if you are at the right menu it usually will wait for 10 seconds and then automatically choose the default menu item unless you arrow down
[07:48] <macGerhard> Jordan_U: well, /boot is empty...
[07:48] <ph0rensic> SaraSmith: Ok just tell me what u see
