[16:42] <The_ManU_212> envy-ng detects my ati radeon 9200 correctly, but says that the legacy driver which works with this card not available is for hardy, what to do for 3d acceleration?
[16:42] <jonaskoelker> question: all the packages installed from the live/install CDs, are they inside filesystem.squashfs?
[16:42] <fde> Pici: I see what you mean though I suppose... but if you installed it yourself, I doubt you really want to know why it's installed  :P
[16:43] <legend2440> The_ManU_212: anything in system>admin>hardware drivers to enable driver?
[16:43] <fde> jonaskoelker: yes
[16:43] <Pici> fde: I often do actually, like if something is bugged, or if I'm helping someone else out... neat command anyway, wasn't in zsh's autocomplete for aptitude  stuffs
[16:43] <The_ManU_212> legend2440: no
[16:44] <tim167> i am typing this from windows because if i boot into ubuntu (same machine+cable) i cant connect, please help
[16:44] <skiptree> ping/nslookup works, but i gen connection refused on everything else.  can anyone please help me debug?
[16:44] <legend2440> The_ManU_212: type fglrxinfo in terminal are ati drivers being used?
[16:44] <albech> skiptree: firewall?
[16:44] <gnuskool> tim167: is it fresh install or upgrade
[16:44] <jonaskoelker> fde: cool, thanks
[16:44] <skiptree> albech IPTable -L shows no rules
[16:44] <fde> Pici: I'm trying to do everything via aptitude... been an apt-get user for 10 years... it's really nice once you get used to the search strings... heh
[16:45] <skiptree> i recently upgraded feisty if that helps.  everything was working before update
[16:45] <frankie_> what is the command to request dhcp?
[16:45] <lat> Ext3 journaling file system is best for swap and home partitions, right? But what about for the boot partition?
[16:45] <Jack_Sparrow> legend2440 9200 should not be using fglrx..
[16:46] <glitsj16> skiptree: did you check your network settings ?
[16:46] <fde> Pici: also, there is why-not that can answer why something is being help back or what is breaking the installation... etc...
[16:46] <fde> held*
[16:46] <gnuskool> skiptree: look in /etc/resolve.conf, is your name server there
[16:46] <soulhacker> lat:reiserfs my favouirte but ext3 also works fine
[16:46] <fde> gnuskool: resolv.conf ... no e
[16:46] <frankie_> i need to get contact to a dhcp server through my ethernet port, what is the command?
[16:46] <legend2440> Jack_Sparrow: fglrxinfo just gives info about drivers
[16:47] <gnuskool> fde: ty
[16:47] <skiptree> gnuskool: yes, and nslookup works
[16:47] <lat> soulhacker, what is special about reiserfs?
[16:47] <yell0w> are all the repos down ?
[16:47] <skiptree> ssh, wget, and internet are not working, ping, nslookup are
[16:47] <fde> gnuskool: just pointing out, cuz he'll probably return saying it's empty
[16:47] <soulhacker> lat:lees time naggmore effective utilization of spacein about filesystem checking
[16:48] <yell0w> frank__: sudo dhclient
[16:48] <legend2440> Jack_Sparrow: i have radeon 9600 not sure if fglrxinfo command work for 9200 but i would think so
[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> legend2440 fglrxinfo should show fglrx is not installed... for the 9200  .. acording to my nores anyhow
[16:48] <Jack3> hey im trying to find the easiest way to setup a mail server in ubuntu for my domain name that catches all and redirects to a gmail acct
[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> notes

[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> legend2440 9550 and up uses fglrx
[16:48] <muzy> hello everyone, does ubuntu supports every lcd-projector?
[16:48] <ianbeyer> muzy: that's not really a function of the OS
[16:48] <muzy> i mean the newest ubuntu 8.04
[16:49] <ianbeyer> a projector is merely a display.
[16:49] <lat> soulhacker, reiserfs for the boot partition also?
[16:49] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: you just want local stuff to go there?
[16:49] <Rafase282> can anyone help me with qemulator?
[16:49] <Andycasss> how to wget from ftp with user and pass and specific port. Thanks.
[16:49] <Jack_Sparrow> ?
[16:49] <muzy> yes but not every OS suports evrything ^^
[16:49] <jonaskoelker> fde: do you know which packages I need to install to loop-mount my squashfs volume?  I get [unknown fs type] from mount...
[16:49] <ianbeyer> muzy: there's your answer.
[16:49] <muzy> yes that is my question too
[16:49] <fde> Jack3: you just want local stuff to go there?
[16:49] <jdv79> i would like to get firefox back to version 2 cause of plugin incompat.  how do i do that?

[16:50] <bin4y> hello?
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> np

[16:50] <bin4y> ubuntu is not detecting my IP from my router
[16:50] <bin4y> how do i make it
[16:50] <jonaskoelker> fde: nvm
[16:50] <fde> jonaskoelker: umm... none... mount -o loop /path/to/it /where/to/mount should be fine...
[16:50] <thehurley> hello, when i enable desktop effect, all window movements and window scrolling becomes extremely slow! I've followed the guide to using open source drivers for ubuntu (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver).  Here is the relevant info about my setup http://paste.ubuntu.com/15569/
[16:51] <ianbeyer> muzy: I'm not sure what you're asking
[16:51] <Jack3> hey im trying to find the easiest way to setup a mail server in ubuntu for my domain name that catches all and redirects to a gmail acct
[16:51] <thehurley> does anyone have any advice for me?
[16:51] <Andycasss> anirudh0: im aware of man, i thought i could get a fast response from here instead of man
[16:51] <fde> Jack3: did you see what I asked?
[16:51] <muzy> okay i must aks my question another way
[16:51] <glitsj16> jdv79: apt-get install firefox-2
[16:51] <soulhacker> lat:sorry no
[16:51] <AcornAcorn_> how do you delete a user folder in home? it says i don't have permission. The folder still exists even though I deleted the user :(
[16:51] <Jack3> fde, no sorry i got disconnected, can you post again?
[16:52] <fde> Jack3: you just want local stuff to go there?
[16:52] <jonaskoelker> fde: yeah, I just hadn't loaded the module :\
[16:52] <kevin083> hello, i would like to disable write support to my windows (ntfs) partition, here is my line from fstab, what should i change? "/dev/sda1 /media/hda1 ntfs umask=222,utf8 0 0"
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo | AcornAcorn_
[16:52] <Soopa> heasdf
[16:52] <jonaskoelker> fde: I can't $ find -name '*deb' on there, though ...
[16:52] <jonaskoelker> fde: you know where they're hidden? ;)
[16:52] <AcornAcorn_> Jack_Sparrow: so I can't do it through nautilus?
[16:52] <Soopa> how do i make a bash alias to something that's already in my path?
[16:52] <lat> soulhacker, ok, thanks.
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> AcornAcorn_ gksudo nautilus
[16:52] <Jack3> fde, not surewhat you mean by local stuff? i want<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to go to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:52] <muzy> i will do presentations with my notebook, i wanna install ubuntu on it but i'm not sure that ubuntu supports every lcd-projector. I havn't an own projector, so i must use another projector everytime
[16:53] <Soopa> e.g. alias pico="/usr/bin/nano" still runs /usr/bin/pico i think
[16:53] <Jack3> fde,a catch all forwarder
[16:53] <Jack_Sparrow> AcornAcorn_ Use that command with caution.. it is not forgiving if you make a mistake
[16:53] <fde> jonaskoelker: They should be all be extracted already... I'm not sure of the file structure, never looked.... /var/cache/apt/archive is where they usually are.
[16:53] <Armada> is there a "What U hear" (recording the sound that is played on the computer) equivalent for ubuntu?
[16:53] <jonaskoelker> fde: none there
[16:53] <anirudh0> i am not getting any sound in the vlc plugin in ff 3 beta
[16:53] <jonaskoelker> fde: there's a lot of installed software...  you think the installer just copies the files? ^_^
[16:53] <anirudh0> at this site http://streamer.perimeterinstitute.ca/mediasite/viewer/NoPopupRedirector.aspx?peid=91860d81-e5a9-44e7-8a35-2577461a857f&shouldResize=False
[16:53] <SirDeiu> how can i add a lvm volume group after i installed ubuntu server ?
[16:53] <ianbeyer> muzy: if the projector presents itself as a display to the OS, the OS doesn't care.
[16:54] <WDN> Is it possible to reinstall Ubuntu (8.04) and just replace the system files? (like is possible with XP)
[16:54] <muzy> okay thanks
[16:54] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: you can have all that stuff go to a local mbox ... I'd suggest something like dovecot-imap ... then send them off to gmail via ssmtp - really easy to set up.
[16:54] <ianbeyer> unless it's one of those weird ones that uses a proprietary protocol using only an IP connection
[16:54] <yell0w> WDN: put /home in a separate partition ?
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> fde ? :)
[16:54] <glitsj16> Armada: "audacity" can do that ..
[16:54] <anirudh0> WDN, if your /home is on a seperate partition
[16:54] <Jack3> fde i assume that was meant for me?
[16:54] <legend2440> thehurley: did u enable drivers in system>admin>hardware drivers?
[16:54] <fde> Jack3: you can have all that stuff go to a local mbox ... I'd suggest something like dovecot-imap ... then send them off to gmail via ssmtp - really easy to set up.
[16:54] <Armada> glitsj16: where?
[16:54] <fde> Jack3: yup... haha... Jack_Sparrow stop talking so much... lol
[16:54] <Jack3> haha
[16:55] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: jk  :)
[16:55] <WDN> ive already copied the home directory (just using copy and paste from live CD), so all my fioles are copied to the Windows partition
[16:55] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:55] <glitsj16> Armada: apt-get install audacity
[16:55] <gooody> anybody knows how can i handle .bin files in ubuntu?
[16:55] <WDN> do i just need to delete the partitions i made for ubuntu, then install it again
 I have audacity, used it alot, but I've never seen such an option
[16:55] <fde> Jack3: I'd actually recommend maildir actually... it's layout is a little better... you know gmail can automatically fetch pop3 mail though right?
[16:56] <Armada> glitsj16: I have audacity, used it alot, but I've never seen such an option
[16:56] <glitsj16> Armada: weird :)
[16:56] <Jack3> fde, im not really familiar with mail terms... what does auto fetch pop3 mean?
[16:56] <alabamahit> Hey I have a AMD 64 Athlon 3400+   2.2ghz Processor. With 3 gigs of ram...Going to be useing for basic stuff web browsing and web development.....Quesino is should I use 64 bit or 32 bit....I would like to use 64...But are there bugs in it? Like does everthing work in 64 bit and same programs availble?
[16:56] <Armada> glitsj16: Where would it be?
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> alabamahit 32
[16:56] <Armada> can you add dictionaries of other languages to the spell checker?
[16:57] <fde> Jack3: Likely the format your mail servers use are pop3 ... you can have gmail do all the magic for you, instead of setting up your own mailserver and forwarding it to gmail
[16:57] <glitsj16> Armada: i don't have it installed now, freshly installed ubuntu this afternoon, but it should look like a big red 'record' button
[16:57] <fungo> alabamahit just use 64 bit, the only thing that i miss is the java applet plugin
[16:57] <Andycasss> can i wget a directory? It seems wget only wants to get files
[16:57] <chev_chelios> is it ok for me to autoremove and autoclean apt-get??? I am afraid not to srew something up...
[16:57] <AcornAcorn_> Jack_Sparrow: hehe, exciting stuff :)
[16:57] <Manggatal> Jack3 : you can use gmx too
[16:57] <legend2440> thehurley: did u enable drivers in system>admin>hardware drivers?
[16:57] <alabamahit> fungo: there is no java pluging for FF on 64 bit?
[16:58] <thehurley> legend2440, i've looked there and there are no driver relating to my graphics card.  I was under the impression that only the closed source drivers from ATI would be there
[16:58] <fungo> alabamahit there's one, but doesn't work with my bank site
[16:58] <Jack3> fde: is this true even if I didnt buy the email part with the domain,... just the domain
[16:58] <fungo> one from openjdk or icedtea, something like that
[16:58] <thehurley> legend2440, either way, I'm trying to use the open source
[16:58] <thehurley> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[16:58] <alabamahit> fungo: so basically 64 bit is still kinda bugy?
[16:58] <matrix> hi when i want to play a mp3 file i get this error Unable to open 'file:///home/matrix/Skrivbord/Usher%20-%20Here%20I%20Stand%20%5B2008%5D%5BCD+SkidVid_XviD+Cov%5D320Kbps/01%20%20Usher%20-%20Intro%20%5BForever%20Young%5D.mp3'
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> chev_chelios Not a bad idea to back up /var/cache/apt/archives before you do
[16:58] <Armada> glitsj16: That would record the input, not the output, I need to set the output as the input
[16:58] <maximilion_> hey Jack_Sparrow :)
[16:59] <legend2440> thehurley: if you type fglrxinfo in terminal does it mention ati or mesa?
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> hey

[17:00] <marcat> >^-^<
[17:00] <tahooie> matrix, is the file there? If it is the problem is probably permissions
[17:00] <glitsj16> Armada: that's a task for alsa i suppose, they have some great info on their wiki, you need to rework /etc/alsasound.conf i believe
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> chev_chelios it will just save you time in case of reinstall.  saves wear and tear on the servers etc

[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> debian_ Nocd and no external boot devices.. sounds like a really nice system to work with..  I have a toshiba tablet like that.. I use it for a doorstop
[17:12] <debian_> soulhacker: Why?
[17:12] <fungo> Ali_ix thank you
[17:13] <genii> tahooie: Seems something here on the subject http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=399485

[17:13] <kevin_syt> How can i get the kernel source in hardy ?
[17:13] <kevin_syt> anybody can help ?
[17:13] <SubOne> Anyone have a link or information how to install the Ubuntu Hardy Heron LiveCD to my USB drive so i can run livecd and install from the USB stick, im looking for a solution that uses Windows (i want to get this done while im at work ;) ) and no CD burning (dont have any CDs with me)

[17:15] <sc006> SubOne,  You could use damen tools to mount the iso, but I cant help with the USB part
[17:15] <ano> anyone?
[17:15] <magnetron> debian_: resetting your bios password is often easy, unless we are talking about a laptop. just find the jumper pins to "clear your nvram" or similar
[17:15] <Andycas> can i ls ftp directory with user and pass auth?
[17:15] <debian_> magnetron: Laptop
[17:15] <kevin_syt> Is the kernel develpment file including kernel source ?
[17:15] <glitsj16> marcat: yes, audacity is a thing apart it seems, you have to make some changes in pulseaudio to get your sound sinks combined, just a sec, i have another bookmark that might help ...
[17:15]  * lolzer sucks in air "OOOOhhhh"

[17:17] <Ursinha> orbitron, http port blocked?
[17:17] <magnetron> tahooie: i just rememberd that the "vim-tiny" package shipped with the default install isn't very capable at all
[17:17] <Ali_ix> orbitron: check your browser proxy setting,
[17:17] <SubOne> yes everything ive found requires either a cd and/or an existing ubuntu installation
[17:18] <Webu> I have a SSH connection to my remote server and I need to make some changes to my router settings, but unfortunately lynx doesn't support form buttons properly so I can't save them, any ideas what to try? Is there a better CLI browser or any other ways to do this?
[17:18] <ano> legend2440, I mean the sound from tv from my pinnacle tv stereo tv-card
[17:18] <tahooie> magnetron, ya someone told me that yesterday when nothing was working and I installed vim.
[17:18] <magnetron> orbitron: sounds like a DNS malconfiguration
[17:18] <orbitron> Ursinha: no FW, just trying to ping no proxy present either
[17:18] <tahooie> what a pain!
[17:18] <Myrtti> Webu: elinks
[17:18] <Webu> Myrtti, okey thanks, I'll try if that helps.

[17:24] <technow__> which is the best way to dual boot Ubuntu on a system already running Vista?
[17:25] <Ali_ix> !ru | Skiptor
[17:25] <movedx> technow__: Easy - just install Ubuntu and it will detect the Vista installation.
[17:25] <SubOne> ty sc006
[17:25] <soulhacker> technow_:ubuntu does that automatically on install
[17:25] <movedx> technow__: Then it will ask if you want to dual-boot and it will configure Grub to give you a menu to pick between both OSes.
[17:25] <psyferre> hey folks, does anyone have a moment to advise me on the "accepted" way to add a command to run at boot?  i've been searching about and found a few methods, but a lot of them are pretty old, and some even mention that there should be a "better way".  Anyone have a moment?

[17:32] <glitsj16> psyferre: not familiar with ubuntu server editions i'm afraid ..
[17:33] <psyferre> glitsj16: ahh... thought maybe it was a part of gnome desktop.  thanks anyhow :)
[17:33] <helder_> yes they are the same, but dont know why windows version can overcome traffic shapping
[17:33] <Jack_Sparrow> psyferre we have #ubuntu-servers channel

[17:36] <aims_stillnoobs> well where can i know more details on it
[17:36] <Ali_ix> aims_stillnoobs: there is somthing, try firestarter
[17:36] <glitsj16> aims_stillnoobs: iptables is already working, you can use the <GUI tools mentioned to add and remove rules
[17:36] <aims_stillnoobs> ok
[17:37] <aims_stillnoobs> i will try it out now
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> aims_stillnoobs firestarter and guarddog will make you less secure if you dont understand how things work.. Best to let iptables do their think on theior own
[17:37] <glitsj16> i think ubuntu hardy also has a GUI called ufw
[17:38] <Jack_Sparrow> aims_stillnoobs in terminal   man iptables

[17:46] <jayde_drag0n> glitsj16: no its a bunch of folders.. and it was packaged as a .jar.. thought it was a zip cuz it opened wasn't paying attention
[17:46] <demfrax> how do I turn off auto update?
[17:46] <glitsj16> demfrax: maybe there's one of those still hanging around, check output of "top", that lists all running processes
[17:47] <gooody> can anybody help me install a .bin fiel?
[17:47] <beerockxs> when I now maximize windows, the maximize to the top border of the lower of the two windows, ie. the lowest part of the window  gets hidden by the second panel
[17:47] <beerockxs> how can i prevent that?
[17:47] <amart486> if i am trying to install something and i am missing a package how can i obtain it?
[17:47] <jayde_drag0n> glitsj16: and unfortunatley i didn't pay attention when i upgraded to hardy.. and just went happily along with firefox 3... it has soo many flaws i want to scream.. but i was told i can't roll back unless i want to lose everything
[17:47] <LeChacal> gooody: where did you get the bin file? are you sure it is installable?
[17:47] <ricket> Ubuntu is working much better than before for me, and standby usually works, but I have had once or twice in the last few weeks where I turned my laptop back on and it went to a white screen with vertical lines and didn't do a thing. How can I catch this in the act next time and capture some sort of debugging info that could be useful to solving the problem?
[17:47] <sportman> i was wondering is there any like dumbed down launcher for gnome
[17:47] <glitsj16> jayde_drag0n: for themes a jar used to work , drag and drop it onto the add-ons window, can't be sure whether firefox 3 changed any of that though ..
[17:48] <kevin_syt> gooody : chmod a+x   ./*.bin
[17:48] <Ali_ix> !dependency | amart486:
[17:48] <gooody> LeChacal: it's a game and i guess it's installable
[17:48] <aims_stillnoobs> well i dont have wireshark
[17:48] <aims_stillnoobs> where to get it
[17:48] <aims_stillnoobs> ??
[17:48] <glitsj16> jayde_drag0n: rolling back to firefox-2 is possible, there are packages in the official repo's to do just that
[17:48] <Ramasdf> http://tomster.org/blog/archive/2008/01/25/autostart-zope-on-ubuntu
[17:48] <LeChacal> gooody: try what kevin_syt said
[17:49] <Ramasdf> i read this and part of the script says SUDO=`which sudo`
[17:49] <gooody> kevin_syt: what will chmod a+x   ./*.bin do?
[17:49] <Ramasdf> i do not understand that part, could any1 explain
[17:49] <kindofabuzz> jayde_drag0n: ff rc1 is now available in the repos.  alot better than beta 5
[17:49] <Ali_ix> gooody: make file executable
[17:49] <jayde_drag0n> glitsj16:  what will i lose by rolling back? and do i just search in synaptics for firefox?
[17:49] <kevin_syt> chmod a+x   *.bin  ,then  ./*.bin
[17:49] <demfrax> what is compiz-real?
[17:49] <gooody> Ali_ix: will it automatically install the file?
[17:50] <tushyd> help! My desktop doesn't show up as a folder
[17:50] <jayde_drag0n> kindofabuzz: can you give me the apt-get command for that? or what i should search for?
[17:50] <Pici> jayde_drag0n: Just wait for it to hit the main repositories
[17:50] <kindofabuzz> umm search for firefox
[17:50] <Ali_ix> gooody: it just changes file premissions
[17:50] <kindofabuzz> what else would you search for?
[17:50] <pidgin> :)
[17:50] <demfrax> what is compiz?
[17:50] <jayde_drag0n> glitsj16: the drag and drop method worked .. lol dunno why i thought it needed to be harder
[17:50] <Pici> kindofabuzz: Its only in proposed iirc, and proposed also has some broken updates.
[17:50] <glitsj16> jayde_drag0n: maybe backup your firefox profile first (that's in the .mozilla/firefox/xxxx.default dir), you should be ok then .. could take a restart or two to check all your extensions are activated
[17:51] <glitsj16> jayde_drag0n: great :)
[17:51] <gooody> kevin_syt: ./*.bin executes the file. am i right?
[17:51] <Odd-rationale> !compiz | demfrax
[17:51] <gnuskool> gooody: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#installer
[17:51] <aims_stillnoobs> well m a complete noobs so i would like to know how to get  wireshark
[17:51] <amart486> where can i get the libpcre package?
[17:51] <pidgin> how to chat on irc ?
[17:51] <joaopinto> amart486, apt-cache search libpcre
[17:51] <jayde_drag0n> kindofabuzz: sorry i kind of assume that in apt-get nothing is named nicely.. i figured it would be called ffrc1 or something akin.. not just apt-get install firefox
[17:52] <joaopinto> jayde_drag0n, ffrc1 is not yet available on the main repositories
[17:52] <joaopinto> you will be notified when the update gets available
[17:52] <AlexRADL> Hey guys, I need some help.  I went into my "Add/remove" tab and I got the following message:
[17:52] <Retlaw> Hello
[17:52] <amart486> where can i get help installing fuppes?
[17:52] <AlexRADL> This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
[17:53] <AlexRADL> That's what it said^
[17:53] <AlexRADL> When I opened up add/remove
[17:53] <Ali_ix> AlexRADL: run syanptic from administrative menu
[17:54] <debian_> Can grub boot a livecd?
[17:54] <factotum> i think the bios takes care of that
[17:54] <Ali_ix> AlexRADL: in left column click on 'Status' section and then select 'brocken' (if available)
[17:54] <AlexRADL> Ok
[17:54] <Lollo> Hi all
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> AlexRADL HAve you changed your sources.list
[17:54] <Ali_ix> !hi | Lollo
[17:55] <Lollo> Hi Ali
[17:55] <Flannel> debian_: It is possible to boot a CD from grub, but its less straight forward
[17:55] <AlexRADL> Ali_ix: Should I click "Fix broken Packages" in the edit menu?
[17:55] <Ramasdf> what does 'which sudo' do?
[17:55] <Lollo> anyone into pd? The channels seem to be all asleep :|
[17:55] <thebishop> I have an intel (snd_hda_intel) sound card in my laptop that doesn't work after I resume from sleep
[17:55] <Ali_ix> AlexRADL: yes
[17:55] <AlexRADL> Ok
[17:55] <debian_> Flannel: Me wantto!
[17:55] <Flannel> Ramasdf: It'll tell you the path to 'sudo'
[17:56] <joaopinto> Ramasdf, it prints the path fro the binary file "sudo"
[17:56] <mokzu> is there a good alternative to vnc for ubuntu/xubuntu?
[17:56] <legend2440> kindofabuzz: did you get update for ff3b5 through update manager?  cause i haven't yet. do you have the hardy-proposed repo enabled or something?
[17:56] <Lollo> or maybe a more general question:
[17:56] <thebishop> mokzu, why not use vnc?
[17:56] <j1tters> ok can someone answer a really basic question for me?  if i do an apt-get install where does it actually install that package to?
[17:56] <Ali_ix> Lollo: ask you question.
[17:57] <Lollo> Which is the typical way to include all subdirectories when entering a path for a progeam?
[17:57] <AlexRADL> Ali_ix: Thanks!  The Add/remove thing works now :)
[17:57] <factotum> jitters usually /usr/bin
[17:57] <ubuntu_newbie> hi all
[17:57] <Lollo> sorry, program.
[17:57] <mokzu> thebishop: it's not secure?
[17:57] <joaopinto> j1tters, the files will be installed to the paths described on the package file
[17:57] <Flannel> debian_: #grub will be a better resource than here.
[17:57] <j1tters> factotum i know where the actual runnable file is but where are the rest of that packages files..
[17:57] <Roots> hola
[17:57] <joaopinto> j1solutions, unlike windows a soft set of files is not installed on a single directory
[17:57] <factotum> read up and find out, whats what everyone else does
[17:57] <glitsj16> j1tters: if you use synaptic, you'll find a tab in there called 'installed files' per package, neatly organised :)
[17:57] <thebishop> mokzu, vnc over ssh
[17:57] <Ali_ix> AlexRADL: the Synaptics is the advanced mode for add/remove, and both are frontends for apt
[17:58] <Ali_ix> !apt | AlexRADL
[17:58] <joaopinto> j1tters, after installing you can check the files that were installed with: dpkg -L package_name
[17:58] <j1tters> thanks all
[17:58] <factotum> I always just send people here:  http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
[17:58] <Lollo> Was my question clear enough?
[17:58] <reikon> Found the problem. It was Tracker. Removed it and everything's fine.
[17:59] <Ramasdf> thanks
[17:59] <mokzu> thebishop: can vnc over ssh be done with just the ssh login or does the user have to login to ssh then vnc?
[17:59] <ubuntu_newbie> i use cdma phone as a modem, one time its works but other time it doesn't work. in M$ Wi*##s it work anytime.anyone help me?
[17:59] <Ali_ix> Lollo: using terminal?
[17:59] <thebishop> mokzu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH
[17:59] <Lollo> Ali_ix: no.
[18:00] <Lollo> Ali_ix: in a program's setup
[18:00] <mokzu> thebishop: thanks i'll check it out
[18:00] <davou> hello room; Just wanted to see if anyone can confirm the apt repository ca.archives.ubuntu.com as being down.
[18:00] <Ali_ix> Lollo: you need to specify a path? for installation?
[18:00] <ubuntu_newbie> i use cdma phone as a modem, one time its works but other time it doesn't work. in M$ Wi*##s it work anytime.anyone help me?
[18:00] <aims_stillnoobs> (10:39:08  IST) altayb81 has sent you a webcam invite, which is not yet supported
[18:01] <aims_stillnoobs> what is my problem here?
[18:01] <aims_stillnoobs> (10:39:08  IST) altayb81 has sent you a webcam invite, which is not yet supported
[18:01]  * ubuntu_newbie need a help
[18:01] <Ali_ix> aims_stillnoobs: pidgin doesn't support webcam/voice
[18:01] <Jack_Sparrow> aims_stillnoobs You are not using ubuntu.. please stop and look for a channel for the distro you are using
[18:01] <legend2440> davou: yes its down
[18:02] <davou> legend2440, thanks downtime unusual?
[18:02] <Jack_Sparrow> davou A bunch of work is being done today on everything
[18:02] <Lollo> Ali_ix: I guess I should explain better: the program is pure data audio environment. You can add startup paths where libs will be searched for. I know the libs are stored in various directories located under /usr/lib/pd/extra/
[18:02] <moshe> does anyone have any suggestions for a good video board for ubuntu? I have ATI and Nvidia boards but have lots of problems with them
[18:03] <Lollo> Ali_ix: I tried adding /usr/lib/pd/extra/*
[18:03] <Shiba> I need to get MoL working on my PPC G5.  I realize that MoL doesn't yet work under 64-bit, so I'll need to install 32-bit.  Does anyone have experience working with this?
[18:03] <aims_stillnoobs> but here its showing ubuntu
[18:03] <kindofabuzz> legend2440: sorry, yeah, it's in proposed
[18:03] <davou> Jack_Sparrow, legend2440 : Many thanks. I was wondering if my sources list was out of date or something.
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> aims_stillnoobs Ubuntu ultimate is NOT supported in here..
[18:03] <Shiba> has anyone used MoL before?
[18:03] <Ali_ix> Lollo: it is up to that program to support 'wildcards' like *, check program manual
[18:03] <aims_stillnoobs> ok i get now
[18:03] <legend2440> davou: why not use a different server for now?
[18:04] <legend2440> kindofabuzz: ok thanks
[18:04] <aims_stillnoobs> why i get always disconnected from yahoo chatrooms
[18:04] <Lynet> moshe: Depends on what you intend to use it for. For good 3D performance, I'd recommend nVidia and their binary driver.
[18:04] <Roots> heyyyy
[18:05] <Lollo> Ali_ix: Thanks. Would you say that * wildcard is quite 'standard' in linux programs?
[18:05] <glitsj16> Lollo: not exactly
[18:05] <Flannel> aims_stillnoobs: you're welcome to install a supported version of Ubuntu though.  But we're unable to support "ultimate" because they've made changes that we don't know about.
[18:05] <moshe> I have a Nvidia Gforce3 but have problems with the drivers in X
[18:05] <Ali_ix> Lollo: linux is a big word! it is popular in bash and common shells
[18:06] <Lollo> thanks glitsj16 and Ali_ix that's what I thought
[18:06] <fredreichbier> Hello all. I have the problem that Brasero does not burn .cues to VCDs properly (they are not viewable in dvd and vlc player). If I burn them with cdrdao, it works. I didn't find anything in the Bug reports. Has anybody an idea for that?

[18:07] <Ali_ix> !repeat | ubuntu_newbie
[18:07] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> Hello, I am having a hard time getting tor to work in hardy. It seems that it doesnt work with FF beta 3 and I get errors installing tor button using the FF 2 from synaptic. Does anyone know how to get it to work?
[18:07] <tonsofpcs> its not working now, ubuntu_newbie
[18:07] <tonsofpcs> its repeating all the packets for some reason
[18:07] <Ali_ix> !flood | ubuntu_newbie
[18:07] <tonsofpcs> Ali_ix: that's not what !flood is for ;)
[18:08] <thebishop> I've got an Intel soundcard in my laptop that stops working when I resume from Sleep.  How can I tell if this is a kernel problem or Pulse/Ubuntu problem?
[18:08] <oich> what is the term for protocols such as SMTP and HTTP, as opposed to TCP etc.
[18:09] <Ali_ix> oich: network thingies? :)
[18:09] <Lynet> moshe: Again, what do you intend to use it for? I could always recommend an insane nVidia 9800 SLI setup, but if you are building say a mythtv box that is intended to connect to an old SD TV over svideo then that's insane overkill.
[18:09] <giantmidget> wouldanyone know how to escape / for sed? (i need to sed s /media/cdrom, but i get all errors because of the /'s)
[18:09] <thebishop> oich, UDP?
[18:09] <moshe> Are there any good alternitives to the Nvidia and ATI video boards out there that are supported by Hardy?
[18:09] <gooody> does ./*.bin installs an executable file?
[18:09] <thebishop> I belive SMTP and HTTP are protocols that work over TCP
[18:09] <beerockxs> anyone have an idea why thunderbird wouldn't start, with no error message?
[18:10] <glitsj16> giantmidget: escape char is "\", so "\/" should do it
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> beerockxs HAve you treid from cli
[18:10] <glitsj16> looks funky too
[18:10] <moshe> I use the system mostly for programming and web page design but have a few 3d games
[18:10] <oich> thebishop: I believe that too, but I'm hoping for a technical term slightly less general than network thingies
[18:10] <beerockxs> Jack_Sparrow: yeah
[18:10] <beerockxs> no error message
[18:10] <beerockxs> but it doesn't start
[18:10] <beerockxs> i also tried reinstalling the package
[18:10] <dendrobates-> Does anyone here have a wordpress blog that is syndicated by planet ubuntu?  I am having a strange issue.
[18:11] <Ali_ix> !enter | beerockxs
[18:11] <giantmidget> glitsj16, thanks, but that somehow won't work
[18:11] <dendrobates-> my title loops back to the planet, but the feed looks fine.
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> moshe 3d games in ubuntu or under wine etc?
[18:11] <ChaosR> hmm, how does ubuntu determine the UUID in grub's menu.lst
[18:11] <thebishop> oich, they're just protocols
[18:11] <ChaosR> it is picking the wrong one
[18:11] <gooody> does ./*.bin installs an executable file?
[18:11] <moshe> in ubuntu. I'm still a little unsure about wine
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid | ChaosR
[18:12] <Lynet> moshe: For 3D, pretty much the only alternative to ati/nvidia is intel onboard graphics or perhaps matrox (if excellent 2D multi-monitor is also a requirement).
[18:12] <Ali_ix> ChaosR: 'blkid' command in terminal gives you UUIDs per drive
[18:12] <thebishop> moshe, what about?
[18:12] <glitsj16> giantmidget: could you pastebin your sed ? than people can take an exact look at it, escaping char sequences is tricky as you found out :)
[18:12] <ChaosR> Jack_Sparrow: I know how to get the UUID, but the autogeneration script picks the a wrong (non-existing) UUID, and I wonder how to fix this
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosR You can also just switch it to the old /dev/sdax
[18:13] <eth01> chanserv should be back soon(ish)
[18:13] <ChaosR> Jack_Sparrow: every time the kernel updates, I need to reconfigure my meny.lst, and I think that shouldnt be happening
[18:13] <qcode> ChaosR: You ment blkid ?
[18:13] <moshe> I still have an old NEC P1150 multisync monitor (20") but the ATI drivers fail to correctly identify the monitor and I cannot get compiz to work at all
[18:13] <giantmidget> glitsj16, well its like this:
[18:14] <giantmidget> cat * | sed s/media/REP/ behaves as expected
[18:14] <diefordethklok> Is it possible to install feisty packages on hardy?
[18:14] <giantmidget> but cat * | sed s/\/media/REP/ gives me sed: -e expression #1, char 10: unknown option to `s'
[18:14] <giantmidget> so i was just hoping gomeone might know sed better
[18:15] <ChaosR> I mean, when I sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and a new kernel is installed, grub messes my menu.lst, it picks the wrong UUID for the kernel location
[18:15] <qcode> giantmidget: ask #bash
[18:15] <Ali_ix> giantmidget: try to quote whole s/../..
[18:15] <ChaosR> So I wonder where grub/apt gets this non-existing UUID
[18:15] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosR fix fstab then see what happens
[18:15] <ChaosR> Jack_Sparrow: how to you mean, "fix" fstab?
[18:15] <beerockxs> Jack_Sparrow: no idea about the thunderbird silently not starting then?
[18:16] <glitsj16> giantmidget: just a sec please, my sed is rusty too say the least, but there should be a space after your very first sed s/ i think
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosR gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and fix it
[18:16] <Ali_ix> ChaosR: check you fstab for wrong entry
[18:16] <ChaosR> Jack_Sparrow: there is nothing wrong with my fstab
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosR I would change uuid to /dev for a start as this is an odd problem
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> beerockxs no idea...
[18:17] <qcode> sed takes filenames, you don't have to use cat and pipe
[18:17] <ChaosR> ok, lets try this
[18:17] <giantmidget> Ali_ix, thanks, that does work if i still escape the /'s too. but the problem is that the first par should come from a variable, so i can't use esc characters in it. thanks though
[18:17] <yorky501> quick question, every time i close an app that should minimise to the panel i.e pidgin or amorak, it dissappears, also my network status and battery meter etc have gone from the panel, how do i get these back??
[18:17] <PdUb101> Question please, i did a sudo apt-get install compiz* libcompiz* libdeco* emerald* libemerald* and it ran into an error at the end http://paste.ubuntu.com/15546/    anyone know what this means??
[18:18] <Jakoo> hello everyone, just a question: is it right if the folder .dbus is not accessible?
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ChaosR sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit  (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[18:18] <microwaver> Hello people I've got some problems with ndisgtk
[18:18] <codecaine> youry501 right client on the panel and add the app that olds them I forgot the name was stausbar or something
[18:19] <legend2440> ChaosR: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644661
[18:19] <giantmidget> glitsj16, so the main thing is that i cant use esc chars in the "/media/dvdrw" part, so i can substitute it with a variable...
[18:19] <codecaine> but is a actual panel that holds them
[18:19] <microwaver> After a reboot I always need to reinstall the driver?
[18:19] <codecaine> microwaver no
[18:19] <glitsj16> Jakoo: yep, it needs root privileges .. and that's a good thing
[18:19] <Steve-cal> microwaver: You probably just need to add "ndiswrapper" to /etc/modules... is it in there?
[18:20] <ChaosR> ah, thanks legend2440
[18:20] <legend2440> ChaosR: yw
[18:20] <glitsj16> giantmidget: what does "man sed" do for all that ?
[18:20] <diefordethklok> Can I troubleshoot/get help on getting a game to work on wine here? Or should I go to #wine
[18:21] <Ali_ix> diefordethklok: you just answered your self, #winehq
[18:21] <Jakoo> glitsj16 thanx though when i shut the system i get weir warns about dbus
[18:21] <diefordethklok> They to specific aps there?
[18:21] <giantmidget> glitsj16, okay okay, thanks for your time :)
[18:21] <glitsj16> Jakoo: what weird warnings exactly ?
[18:21] <Ali_ix> diefordethklok: i dont know, but sounds more revelant than here.
[18:22] <Jakoo> bloody hell i should get  ascreen of it, have you an idea how to?
[18:22] <glitsj16> giantmidget: sorry, i don't know the aanswer to that one, didn't want to shout ;)
[18:22] <Jakoo> it doesnt let me enough time to read well
[18:22] <diefordethklok> All right.
[18:23] <microwaver> Steve-cal, let me chec
[18:23] <microwaver> codecaine, I need to , cuz I can't enable it.
[18:23] <giantmidget> glitsj16, i got it ;)
[18:23] <glitsj16> giantmidget: glad it worked out :)
[18:24] <microwaver> Steve-cal, there is no directory /etc/modules
[18:24] <Steve-cal> microwaver: That's correct--/etc/modules is a file. :)
[18:24] <codecaine> :p
[18:24] <microwaver> Steve-cal, aha, I thought because it's sys/modules :)
[18:24] <giantmidget> glitsj16, well the got it meant i know what youre saying, not that i now have the solution :P
[18:24] <glitsj16> Jakoo: maybe there's a log, look in the /var/log directory ..
[18:25] <codecaine> microwaver you append it ot the file
[18:25] <Jakoo> oki
[18:25] <glitsj16> lol, okay, it's a start i guess :p
[18:25] <microwaver> codecaine, thanks !
[18:25] <codecaine> np
[18:25] <microwaver> codecaine, just add ndiswrapper rihgt :)
[18:26] <Steve-cal> microwaver: type:   sudo bash -c 'echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules'
[18:26] <Thorghal> Hello, I have a problem with my old computer, i installed ubuntu 8.04 and my mouse is not working
[18:26] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone know why the last set of ubuntu updates uninstalled ff3?
[18:26] <PdUb101> how do i go about adding something to startup?
[18:26] <Thorghal> maybe someone know how i can make it work allright?
[18:26] <codecaine> yes just like Steve-cal said
[18:26] <Jakoo> ok nothing about dbus
[18:26] <CzarAlex> In which file is the command line welcome message stored?
[18:27] <Ali_ix> !startup | PdUb101
[18:27] <soundray> Thorghal: how is your mouse connected?
[18:27] <glitsj16> giantmidget: i'm gonna take a fresh look at the sed manual myself, i'll report back ...
[18:27] <slacker1> Help, I need somebody.  I'm installing ubuntu for the 1st time, and at the point of partitioning a drive.  I'm keeping a vista partition, and I had used gparted to set up a second partition as ext2.  I forgot about needing swap space.  So I need to delete the ext2 partition, and create more partitions.  Where is the best source of information on learning the difference between ext3, ext2, etc.?
[18:27] <gnuskool> Sergeant_Pony: i heard earlier that it was fixed
[18:28] <Thorghal> my mouse is connected in COM port
[18:28] <Steve-cal> PdUb101: Adding stuff to Sessions works if you want to run it under your user name; if you need to run a program as root on startup you can put it in /etc/rc.local.
[18:28] <SeaMonkey> Hello
[18:28] <tj83> slacker1.... my partition is ext3, SWAP
[18:28] <legend2440> Sergeant_Pony: do you have hardy-proposed repo enabled? i think there is a firefox update its been doing
[18:28] <giantmidget> glitsj16, thats real nice of you, thanks :)
[18:28] <Sergeant_Pony> gnuskool : I did my updates this am (eastern USA) and it uninstalled ff3
[18:28] <leeping2008> Hi there, how do I use "ls" or "find" to filter for executables?
[18:28] <soundray> !serialmouse | Thorghal
[18:28] <Sergeant_Pony> legend2440: yes I do
[18:28] <tj83> if you just free unalocated space then use the "guided using free continuous space"
[18:28] <soundray> Thorghal: oops, I thought there was a factoid
[18:29] <legend2440> Sergeant_Pony: i would uncheck it i think its been causing problems
[18:29] <Ali_ix> leeping2008: man find there is some switches to specify file attributes (like execution permission)
[18:29] <gnuskool> slacker1: ext3 is ext2 but with journaling turned on
[18:29] <slacker1> thanks tj83
[18:29] <SeaMonkey> My Evolution Calendar doesn't show the imported ICS Calendar Entries... i can only view them in the "List view" but in the "month view" the entries are not shown
[18:29] <Sergeant_Pony> legend2440: will I be able to install ff3 again?
[18:29] <slacker1> what is journaling?
[18:29] <tj83> slacker1... np
[18:29] <soundray> Thorghal: go through 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg' and set your mouse driver to 'serial' and the device to /dev/ttyS0 (unless you already know that it has to be /dev/ttyS1)
[18:29] <kari> ccsm window is not fitting to screen..main window goes up and down when i click
[18:29] <leeping2008> Ali_ix, thanks :)
[18:30] <soundray> !serial
[18:30] <soundray> !mouse
[18:30] <legend2440> seri dont have it enabled so cant be sure but i think other people have had same problem as you
[18:30] <simplexio> legend2440: and tha x permission is 100% proof that its is program
[18:30] <soundray> Thorghal: found it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[18:30] <legend2440> Sergeant_Pony: i dont have it enabled so cant be sure but i think other people have had same problem as you
[18:30] <simplexio> legend2440: .. .is not proof
[18:31] <Great_Briton> hi, i can't set up google calendar within evolution
[18:31] <CzarAlex> In which file is the terminal welcome message stored?
[18:31] <legend2440> simplexio: what?
[18:31] <Thorghal> okay ill check it, so long to work without mouse :S
[18:31] <AaronH> CzarAlex, I think its ~/.profile
[18:31] <kari> ccsm window is not fitting to screen..main window goes up and down when i click
[18:32] <Ali_ix> CzarAlex: /etc/issue*
[18:32] <PdUb101> ok so im trying to add Compiz Fusion to my startup, and under properties > Launcher tab > Command: fusion-icon --no-startup ........ now.. if i wanted it to startup with windows would i take the --no-start outta the command?
[18:32] <CzarAlex> Ali_ix: That tells me the version of ubuntu that im using.
[18:32] <Ali_ix> CzarAlex: yes, and you can fill it with your desired messages
[18:32] <microwaver> Steve-cal, thanks
[18:32] <soundray> CzarAlex: /etc/issue
[18:32] <simplexio> i legend2440: mean that if file has x attribute set, it dosent mean that it is executable, or if some file dosent have x file atrribute dosent mean that you cant execute it
[18:32] <glitsj16> giantmidget: cat * | sed -s /media/REP/ ... does that produce anything usefull ?
[18:33] <CzarAlex> Ali_ix I already defined a message years ago and i want to change it. Its not in there.
[18:33] <gnuskool> slacker1: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/4136/3/
[18:33] <slacker1> thanks gnuskool
[18:33] <soundray> CzarAlex: maybe you mean /etc/motd then
[18:33] <tj83> PdUb101, fusion starts automatically for me after installing compiz manager
[18:33] <Ali_ix> CzarAlex: so grep part of your message in /etc, it might be there
[18:33] <CzarAlex> soundray Perfect thank you.
[18:33] <AaronH> isn't ~/.profile where some distros have fortune run?  can't you just do (echo "your welcome message")
[18:33] <PdUb101> tj83: for some reason it won't auto start for me, im trying to add it to the startup
[18:34] <soundray> CzarAlex: note that this gets overwritten by /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[18:34] <legend2440> simplexio: yes x means allow it to be executed. what kind of file is it?
[18:34] <Steve-cal> microwaver: Did that work for you?
[18:34] <tj83> I assume you removed it completely including configs, and reinstalled?
[18:34] <syb> Anyone else here running Ubuntu on Pentium III class hardware? 800mhz P3?
[18:34] <CzarAlex> soundray Sounds good. thanks again.
[18:34] <gpled> would like /dev/sda2 to boot using grub and kernel off of live 8.04.  can anyone help me with this?
[18:34] <giantmidget> glitsj16, that doesnt substitute anything
[18:34] <glitsj16> syb: yep, anything not working ?
[18:35] <tj83> PdUb101: you removed it completely and reinstalled?
[18:35] <simplexio> legend2440: it means that file is allowd to execute as default. it could be bash script, perl script, or executable
[18:35] <gpled> was thining, copy /boot from cd, to sda2, then run grub-install /dev/sda2  . that does not seem to work
[18:35] <syb> glitsj16: I've just now upgraded to Hardy. Ping times are inconsistent in pattern.
[18:35] <kari> any one help me with ccsm problem?
[18:35] <kari> ccsm window is not fitting to screen..main window goes up and down when i click
[18:36] <codecaine> syb did you disable ipv6?
[18:36] <giantmidget> glitsj16, now im thinking of instead of figuring out escape, finding out the number of characters in my '/media/dvdrw' string and using sed s/{. times number of chars}// to do the job :P
[18:36] <PdUb101> yes, i did a uninstall of compiz, libdeco, emerald, and libemerald
[18:36] <Jokka> How do i open a window with a running program through terminal? the progg is allready running but i have no window cuz i closed it...
[18:36] <Lucifer_arma> is there a mythtv package I can install to get a mythtv backend master that *doesn't* install a bunch of x11 libraries?
[18:36] <glitsj16> giantmidget: that's an exellent idea :)
[18:36] <Steve-cal> gpled: Does sda2 all ready have an OS installed in it?
[18:36] <soundray> Jokka: depends on the program
[18:36] <gpled> Steve-cal: nope
[18:36] <joaopinto> Jokka, that is not possible
[18:37] <vxd2> how can i see the last changed files ?
[18:37] <soundray> Jokka: what program is it?
[18:37] <Jokka> soundray: transmission.. a friend told me to go "transmission fg" but it didnt work
[18:37] <genii> tonyyarusso: I'm getting weird msgs from nickserver, sorry about nick changes
[18:37] <giantmidget> glitsj16, i have no idea how to do the multiplying part though... like how to say . times variable
[18:37] <Jokka> it worked once ^^
[18:37] <gpled> Steve-cal: just swap and ext3 partions
[18:37] <PdUb101> tj83: yes i did a uninstall of compiz, libcompiz, libdeco, emerald, and libemerald
[18:37] <tj83> PdUb101: are you using GNOME? and you didnt list compiz-settings-manager... did you reinstall that package?
[18:37] <soundray> Jokka: I don't know that well enough. Are you sure it's still running? ps aux | grep transmission
[18:37] <Steve-cal> gpled: And out of curiosity then, why are you trying to install Grub to that partition if it has no OS?
[18:37] <tj83> PdUb101 thats what made it work for me.
[18:37] <wil_> I have a NTFS disk that will not boot as it is currupt... it is still detectable by the machine. I have a ubuntu live disk and was wonderign if there is anyway to mount and recover files from the disk?
[18:37] <gpled> Steve-cal: have / dir, but they are empty
[18:38] <gnuskool> genii: same, but they announced a change of database servers earlier
[18:38] <syb> codecaine: Why disable IPv6?... When I use "ping -n -i 0.2 <IP_ADDRESS>" on LAN from my Thinkpad at 100mbit I would expect the ping to consistently be <1ms!
[18:38] <wil_> I know there is with DSL but I have no boot disk and im hoping it is posible with ubuntu
[18:38] <Jokka> soundray, it is running. i can se transmission as a working program in conky
[18:38] <gpled> Steve-cal: trying to do a ground up install
[18:38] <codecaine> ipv6 is not nessary yet and it slows down networks
[18:38] <Soopa> what web server would you guys recommend for a newb?  i would have very light traffic
[18:38] <codecaine> by default its enabled
[18:38] <tonyyarusso> genii: nickserv is offline atm, or not really working
[18:38] <Steve-cal> gpled: Are you planning on installing a OS to that partition at some point?
[18:38] <soundray> Jokka: what happens when you just enter 'transmission'? I'd be surprised if it starts a new instance...
[18:38] <PdUb101> tj83: no.. when i reinstalled i used applications add/remove.. what would the command in a terminal be?? and yes im using gnome.. i believe?
[18:39] <Soopa> apache or lighttpd?  or something else?
[18:39] <Jokka> soundray, it says that its already running
[18:39] <magnetron> Soopa: maybe lighttpd or apache
[18:39] <glitsj16> giantmidget: i'm afraid math was always out of my dept .. that's why i blessed the compiz gods for some eyecandy, sorry, maybe someone can point you to a # filled with regex guru's .. :)
[18:39] <Jokka> and with transmission fg it says the same
[18:39] <soundray> tonyyarusso: worked for me just now
[18:39] <tonyyarusso> genii: back now?
[18:39] <genii> tonyyarusso: OK. It keeps seeming to bug me for identify of nickname genii-around
[18:39] <syb> wil_: Sounds like you should try ddrescue on the failing NTFS drive!
[18:39] <tonyyarusso> soundray: yeah, just got the wallop
[18:39] <Soopa> magnetron: which is easier to configure?
[18:39] <syb> perhaps its "dd_rescue".
[18:39] <magnetron> Soopa: dunna
[18:39] <gpled> Steve-cal: peace by peace.  will start with some bin files then start adding souce for programs
[18:39] <Soopa> magnetron: okie, thanks :)
[18:39] <soundray> Jokka: perhaps you should kill it and start afresh
[18:40] <stef_> Hello
[18:40] <tj83> PdUb101, synaptics is a sure thing.... search "compiz-settings-manager" or see if its even installed by "sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager"
[18:40] <lw0x15> do geeks use ubuntu ? or they prefer more tech like slack or gentoo
[18:40] <Jokka> soundray, thats the prob, i dont wanna close it and restart it. i want it to open in a new window..
[18:40] <codecaine> 1w0x15 lots of people use ubuntu
[18:40] <wil_> syb, il look that up now
[18:40] <magnetron> lw0x15: i'm a geek and i endorse this distro
[18:40] <simplexio> i still use gentoo too
[18:40] <codecaine> nix is nix :)
[18:40] <tonsofpcs> lw0x15: idk, but I'm a nerd who uses ubuntu
[18:40] <tonyyarusso> lw0x15: that's more of a question from #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:40] <glitsj16> tj83: isn't it compizconfig-settings-manager ?
[18:41] <gpled> Steve-cal: should i be able to get a kernal to boot off the drive like that?
[18:41] <codecaine> gentoo takes forever to install software because it compiles everything from source
[18:41] <krewie> can anyone help me with runlevels plz ?
[18:41] <lat> Which should be installed first, a file system or LVM?
[18:41] <simplexio> codecaine: and its still faster than windows
[18:41] <SoulChild> can someone do me a favour and give me the output of "dpkg -S update-menus" please ?
[18:41] <PdUb101> tj83: i recieved a "E: Couldn't find package compiz-setting-manager"
[18:41] <Wobbo> can anyone help to get the right vga code for 1680x1050 and 1280x800 like this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/blog/archtoad6/2007-12-29/VGA_Resolution_Codes_for_GRUB_Lilo
[18:41] <codecaine> Im not to sure took me almost a whole day to install it
[18:41] <kajo> When trying to view two videos that work fine on a friend's computer, on mine (in mplayer) they play slowly, withoutsound, in black and white. In VLC, it's the same, but they play regular speed. In "Movie Player" (8.04 default), they play same as they do in mplayer.
[18:41] <genii> PdUb101: compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:41] <syb> wil_: Make as good a copy as you can of all the bits on the disk using such a low-level tool. Only after you've made a copy onto a fresh working drive should you then risk changes to the NTFS file system.
[18:42] <kajo> What is the deal?
[18:42] <SoulChild> Wobbo: there is no VGA Code for widescreen resoloution
[18:42] <giantmidget> glitsj16, heheh im a complete noob at this, i ever only studied literature and languages and such, but im starting to really love the shell, so im not giving up ;) thanks again for your time
[18:42] <Steve-cal> gpled: Well I don't think just copying over the /boot directory from your liveCD to your sda2 partition will work. You need to formally install Grub to that partition. And about the kernel, depends probably how you put it there--a simple copy won't likely work.
[18:42] <dbrewer_rjr> I just configured ubuntu hardy server on an ibm server running vmware esxi. i am getting an error on boot "Host SMBus controller not enabled." Is this serious? everything seems to be working.
[18:42] <soundray> Jokka: firefox has the -remote option (which is default when an instance is running). Perhaps there is one for transmission, too. Try man transmission
[18:42]  * syb *waves*, Rebooting to try Live CD incase "e100" network driver on Hardy has a bug! :-(
[18:42] <yorky501> question for you guys,  my laptop has shortcut a FN and shortcut keys ie Fn and F4 to turn up the volume etc, does anyone know how these are configured?????
[18:42] <codecaine> all in all gentoo did have fast menus and could run appz etc faster
[18:42] <tj83> PdUb101 try the settings with an "s"
[18:42] <syb> [or combination of things I'm running]
[18:42] <tj83> plural
[18:42] <simplexio> codecaine: my home server was rebooted first something like 1h after i used livecd to install
[18:43] <Wobbo> SoulChild: oh... anything i can do?
[18:43] <PdUb101> tj83:  says its already the newest version 0 upgrage 0 installed 0 to remove
[18:43] <genii> PdUb101: Also put the word "config" at the end of "compiz"
[18:43] <Steve-cal> dbrewer_rjr: You might have better luck finding help in #ubuntu-server, just an idea.
[18:43] <simplexio> codecaine: after that 1year uptime, then power decided to blow
[18:43] <soundray> yorky501: have you verified that it's not already working?
[18:43] <SoulChild> Wobbo: yes, use the maximal normal resouloution
[18:43] <codecaine> I also used a lived cd with bare configurations
[18:43] <gpled> Steve-cal: grub should just boot on its own, even if i do not have a kernal, right?
[18:43] <simplexio> with windows its 10 reboots before it "works"
[18:43] <Jokka> soundray, nope..
[18:43] <legend2440> PdUb101: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:43] <simplexio> gpled: ya, if you installed it
[18:43] <yorky501> soundray indeed i have
[18:43] <codecaine> most linux install are just one reboot
[18:44] <tj83> PdUb101, i would try the synaptics route... and remove it completely then install again.
[18:44] <Steve-cal> gpled: If you have Grub installed correctly, I believe the answer is yes.
[18:44] <glitsj16> kajo: could be a settings issue in your player, choosing the correct output modules can also greatly affect audio/video performance .. what format are the vids ?
[18:44] <grobda24> kajo ... codec packages ?
[18:44] <soundray> yorky501: try System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts then
[18:44] <PdUb101> tj83: synaptics???
[18:44] <gpled> simplexio: from live cd, $sudo grub-install /dev/sda2  ??
[18:44] <simplexio> codecaine: thats true... somethimes ubuntru annoys me. it offers reboot when it could just tell to relog to X
[18:44] <dutch> I want to run Ubuntu 8.04 64bit. My current Intel board (socket 775) can't memory-map, so all I get is 3.3 Gigs RAM. Can anyone suggest a decent combo that will let me USE the full 4Gigs?
[18:44] <Wobbo> SoulChild: thanks
[18:44] <codecaine> true :)
[18:45] <NW2190> Hi, is there a program for Ubuntu that shows the bitrate of MP3's?
[18:45] <tj83> "sudo synaptic"
[18:45] <simplexio> gpled: you porbably need /boot/ partition mounted too
[18:45] <soundray> dutch: Ubuntu x86_64 should support all of your memory on your board
[18:45] <yorky501> cheers soundray
[18:45] <tj83> or menus Administration-Synaptic Package Manager
[18:45] <Steve-cal> gpled: That command will not work I don't think--that command is used to install grub into the MBR, not a partition.
[18:46] <gpled> simplexio: was thinking about that.  just going with one partiton. not going to make a sep partition for boot.
[18:46] <kajo> glitsj16, grobda24, the vids are mp4/m4v, and I don't know much about the tech side of media players on linux at all (I know only basic concepts of what codecs, etc are- I don't know what is meant by 'output modules'.)
[18:46] <Steve-cal> gpled: I think you would be better off asking in #grub, but that's just an idea. :)
[18:46] <dutch> soundray: Yes, it does. The limitation is in the motherboard itself. That's why I need advice on another mobo and/or cpu
[18:46] <simplexio> gpled: then yyou probably need / partiotion mounted before installing that grub. i think after all it installs stuff into /boot/grub/
[18:46] <Nihilist_Nerd> hello - sorry to ask the obvious, but can I have a newbie synopsis of ssh? I mean, I did info ssh, but it was... cryptic. I just want to log into my friend's computer, which I have an IP of.
[18:46] <legend2440> NW2190: right click mp3>properties>audio tab
[18:46] <gpled> Steve-cal: sounds like a good idea :)
[18:46] <Nihilist_Nerd> Thanks in advance
[18:47] <soundray> dutch: this may not be the best channel for your question... There is also ##hardware
[18:47] <simplexio> Nihilist_Nerd: on console : ssh username@targetip
[18:47] <^NighT^WalkeR^> if i make a new linux-source-2.6.24, shouldn't i get a initrd.img-2.6.24-* ?
[18:47] <dutch> soundray: thx.
[18:47] <soundray> !ssh | Nihilist_Nerd
[18:47] <gpled> simplexio: i think you are right.  im going to dump my mkdir /mnt/boot file, and let grub try and make it
[18:47] <Nihilist_Nerd> simplexio: thanks... oddly, it's not working
[18:47] <Nihilist_Nerd> Thanks
[18:48] <PdUb101> tj83: ok in the process of completely removing all compiz software, and will try the reinstall.. thanks for the help
[18:48] <gpled> simplexio: now that i think about it, that might be whats worng.  grub sees boot dir already there
[18:48] <simplexio> Nihilist_Nerd: umm.. you have username on target, target is reachable ip from your point
[18:48] <tj83> PdUb101.... no problem.... just come back after reboot to let us know the outcome
[18:48] <gpled> thanks Steve-cal and simplexio for brainstorming with me
[18:48] <MitchM> is there a good gui for scp?
[18:48] <glitsj16> kajo, vlc for instance, another widely used media player uses that concept , translates into something like 'via which codec are we going to decode and play the files' .. i'll check my own settings for that format, brb
[18:48] <MitchM> I would like to 'right-click' a file and scp it to a server
[18:49] <NW2190> legend2440: Ah. Thanks that's what I was looking for.
[18:49] <Lynet> Wobbo: The codes listed in that link are, afaik, the complete list of standard resolutions. Some video cards *might* support other modes, but that depends entirely on the VESA bios on the graphics card.
[18:49] <simplexio> MitchM: nautilus can handle sftp
[18:49] <MitchM> simplexio, thanks
[18:49] <joey_> is there a setting blocking the port 1328
[18:49] <kajo> thanks glitsj16.
[18:49] <Steve-cal> gpled: No problem, good luck with it.
[18:49] <yorky501> nickserv
[18:49] <grobda24> kajo ... the default player that comes with the distro installs codecs on demand.
[18:49] <simplexio> MitchM: in english you can use it ocer ssh connection, try look coonec to server from gnome places menu
[18:49] <codecaine> MitchM its not a gui of scp but you can use sftp, and you can see list of files etc like an ftp
[18:49] <Lynet> Wobbo: If I'm not mistaken, setting vga=ASK should list all available modes.
[18:49] <^NighT^WalkeR^> if i make a new linux-source-2.6.24, shouldn't i get a initrd.img-2.6.24-* ?
[18:50] <kajo> grobda24, you mean totem?
[18:50] <glitsj16> kajo: in the mean time, did you install any additional media-related packages after a fresh install ?
[18:50] <kajo> like I said, it plays it, it is just glitchy in the aforementioned ways (grobda24)
[18:50] <soundray> !kernelcompile | ^NighT^WalkeR^
[18:50] <kajo> glitsj16, nothing outside of restricted extras, I believe.
[18:50] <grobda24> kajo ... was your friends system Ubuntu ?
[18:51] <MitchM> simplexio, codecaine: neither suite my needs, i would like to right-click on a single file... do a 'Send To:' as scp (just type in login/pass/path and done)...
[18:51] <Wobbo> Lynet where do i perform that ask command?
[18:51] <MitchM> perhaps i'll have to write something myself.
[18:51] <kajo> grobda24, no, he's on a mac.
[18:51] <soundray> MitchM: why don't you mount the remote directory with sshfs. Then you can drag and drop.
[18:51] <codecaine> yea would be pretty easy to do MitchM
[18:51] <codecaine> :)
[18:52] <Lynet> Wobbo: At exactly the same place where you would say vga=775.
[18:52] <MitchM> soundray, because that's not what i want to do
[18:52] <simplexio> MitchM: that is probably possible with after somecoding, but how about onelines in terminal: scp filename user@somewhere:
[18:52] <Andeh> Hi. I havent used this PC for 4 months and the password seems to be something else. And now I can't upgrade to 8.04. Any way to reset it?
[18:52] <MitchM> simplexio, i do onelines currently.
[18:52] <Jakoo> hello ehm I am guessing what this means  as i get it everytime i shut the system or i reboot : http://paste.ubuntu.com/15592/
[18:52] <[T]an1> can anyone recommend a good flowchart utility for gnome?
[18:52] <glitsj16> kajo: if it plays it's not a codec issue, you could try adding packages.medibuntu.org to your repo list (via synaptic in a GUI is one way) and see what gives ..
[18:52] <Wobbo> Lynet where do i get respons then?
[18:52] <MitchM> simplexio, but there should be a simple gui for this.
[18:52] <simplexio> MitchM: and that sshfs i good idea
[18:52] <Katami> Hey guys
[18:52] <simplexio> MitchM: why ?
[18:52] <kari> any one help me with ccsm problem?
[18:52] <Lynet> Wobbo: On screen.. At boot..
[18:52] <MitchM> simplexio, for a couple hundred servers?
[18:52] <kari> ccsm window is not fitting to screen..main window goes up and down when i click
[18:53] <Wobbo> Lynet, ok ill try thanks
[18:53] <kajo> glitsj16, how would adding a repository help me?
[18:53] <Ali_ix> Andeh: you can bootup in recovery mood and use 'passwd' command o change your user password
[18:53] <simplexio> MitchM: then do script
[18:53] <Andeh> Ali_ix: Ah. Didn't think of that. Thanks :)   Except anyone else who knows that can do that too. Hmm.
[18:53] <Steve-cal> Jakoo: Does it prevent you from shutting down or rebooting?
[18:54] <Nihilist_Nerd> simplexio: I have a username on the target, yes
[18:54] <tj83> Kari.... what is your screen resolution?
[18:54] <Nihilist_Nerd> Dow do I know if the IP is reachable from my point?
[18:54] <simplexio> Nihilist_Nerd: and target ip is reachable
[18:54] <Jakoo> no it just reboots normal or shut but i get that screen everytime before it shuts
[18:54] <Nihilist_Nerd> *how
[18:54] <simplexio> Nihilist_Nerd: ping ?
[18:54] <MitchM> simplexio, but i have files that change names
[18:54] <glitsj16> kajo: support for some formats is not in the default ubuntu repositories, it could be that you are using an outdated codec system .. just guessing though, nothing that i can conform that will make it snappier ...
[18:54] <Nihilist_Nerd> ok thanks
[18:54] <Jakoo> is that normal?
[18:54] <eldalion> how can i use a text browser inside vim?
[18:54] <simplexio> MitchM: use bash magic
[18:54] <MitchM> simplexio, in different directories, and a script doesn't satisfy my 'dynamic' needs.
[18:54] <Ali_ix> eldalion: ask in #vim
[18:54] <simplexio> MitchM: then make perl script
[18:54] <Andeh> hah. "passwd will reject any password which is not suitably complex." neat.
[18:54] <Nihilist_Nerd> just ping <ip> yes?
[18:55] <MitchM> simplexio, how about i just make a gui for scp?
[18:55] <simplexio> MitchM: and that helps ?
[18:55] <Katami> I have a usb headset it was working fine last night when I left for work and I came in tonight and my laptop was completely off. I turned it back on and  when it booted up half of the startup sound played through my headset and it swapped to my laptops loud speakers and after logging in i went to the soudn manage and   my stuff said usb headset but when I went to go play a "test" tone it failed saying the device wasn't there then I restarted it and it said
[18:55] <kari>  tj83:800*600    but it happens only with ccsm main page
[18:55] <Katami> usb headset (not connected) so I restarted again and now it's not even listed as a device but when I press the buttong on my usb headset to mute/turn up/down the volume I get the on screen display doing it and cat /etc/alsa/modules/cards does not list my headset
[18:55] <codecaine> gui progs just slow down processes
[18:55] <simplexio> yeah
[18:55] <Katami> Any ideas on what I can do to make it see my headset right again? I know it's good and the usb port is good because it still works just fine in windows
[18:55] <soundray> Katami: sounds like a bad USB cable
[18:55] <tj83> Kari... what seems very low... what size screen? desktop or notebook? standard or wide screen? what video card?
[18:55] <kajo> glitsj16, grobda24, totem is saying the properties are 640 x 426, the codec is H.264 / AVC, 30 fps, N/A bitrate, and the audio codec is MPEG-4 A..., stero, 44100 Hz.
[18:56] <Lynet> Wobbo: An, I found an other way. sudo apt-get install hwinfo; sudo hwinfo --framebuffer | grep Mode
[18:56] <Nihilist_Nerd> simplexio: Thanks - how do I know if ping worked?
[18:56] <Steve-cal> Jakoo: Just my own opinion, but since it doesn't actually interfere with shutting down or restarting, I wouldn't worry about it at this point. You could spend many hours figuring out exactly why it gives those errors and it probably isn't a big deal anyway.
[18:56] <simplexio> if you really need to send one file to hundred server then gui dosent help it
[18:56] <codecaine> guis are good for beginners though
[18:56] <codecaine> sthough
[18:56] <simplexio> Nihilist_Nerd: you get answer
[18:56] <Jakoo> yep probably I was just curious about it  thanks anyway
[18:56] <Andeh> If you expire a user's password can anyone login as him and change it?
[18:56] <tj83> kari: what = that
[18:57] <Ali_ix> Andeh: no
[18:57] <Ali_ix> Andeh: teh root can
[18:57] <simplexio> codecaine: sure. i dont touch vim wihtout gvim.
[18:57] <Ali_ix> /teh/the
[18:57] <lolzer> Jakoo: there is a way to fix that bug
[18:57] <Assid> err can kvm be defined to give a VM only 200mhz of the available processor?
[18:57] <simplexio> wut that floodbot does ?
[18:57] <Ward1983> i setup a bridge for virtualbox host interfaces, it works fine but network=panel si totally confused now
[18:57] <Jakoo> oh and?
[18:57] <Ward1983> any suggestions?
[18:57] <Andeh> Ali_ix: It says it prompts the user to change it himself upon next login. How does it know it's the user?
[18:57] <lolzer> Jakoo: give me a second to find the info... I have it right here...
[18:57] <Katami> soundray
[18:57] <Ward1983> network-panel i mean
[18:57] <Jakoo> oki
[18:57] <kari> tj83:15" standard desktop crt...dont know about video card but special effects are working
[18:57] <Jakoo> I use 2 network cards
[18:57] <Katami> how can it be a bad usb cable if IT WORKS IN WINDOWS >_<
[18:58] <Ali_ix> Andeh: sorry, i misunderstood it
[18:58] <Jakoo> one 10/100 and one is a giga
[18:58] <soundray> Katami: maybe you just haven't triggered the problem in Windows
[18:58] <spicemint> hi ppl :)
[18:58] <spicemint> i need some help
[18:58] <tj83> Kari: what size CRT? and use "lspci" to find out what card is installed in your system
[18:58] <kthakore> hi spicemint what the problem
[18:58] <codecaine> spicemint just ask the question
[18:58] <spicemint> i have a network card
[18:58] <kthakore> spicemint, ok
[18:58] <spicemint> it is not working anymore after kernel update
[18:59] <kthakore> spicemint, what card is it?
[18:59] <kajo> spicemint, you should type your entire problem out, and then post it in one paragraph.
[18:59] <spicemint> there is a solution here http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html
[18:59] <Andeh> Ali_ix: So it is true that while an account is expired and waiting for password change anyone can set the password?
[18:59] <kthakore> spicemint, listen to kajo
[18:59] <Nihilist_Nerd> simplexio: Thanks - I got this: PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[18:59] <kthakore> spicemint, so ...
[18:59] <Lynet> Katami: Is headset connected through an usb hub? I seem to recall some problems with that.
[18:59] <spicemint> i just don't know how to install the precompiled drivers
[18:59] <codecaine> no Andeh
[18:59] <lolzer> Jakoo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15594/
[18:59] <Ali_ix> Andeh: it shouldn't be ANYONE, but i have no specific info about that
[18:59] <Shiba> is there a way to install 32-bit Ubuntu on a G5?
[19:00] <helder_> guys, where can i find a channel specific to mkv to xvid conversion? media conversion
[19:00] <Ward1983> Shiba, yep
[19:00] <Andeh> codecaine: How does it know it is actually the user?
[19:00] <Shiba> Ward1983: how?
[19:00] <yorky501> andeh you need the old password to set the new password
[19:00] <soundray> Shiba: no
[19:00] <spicemint> helder_: try mencoder or mplayer chan
[19:00] <kthakore> spicemint, u need to compile ur own kernel
[19:00] <simplexio> Nihilist_Nerd: you should get something like this after it : 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.732 ms , where xxx is ip used
[19:00] <codecaine> the user types in the old password then the new one they want
[19:00] <lolzer> Jakoo: be careful with the cut and paste operations detailed there and it should fix it.
[19:00] <spicemint> no way really?
[19:00] <kari> tj83:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[19:00] <spicemint> is there no easier way?
[19:00] <soundray> Shiba: only PPC
[19:00] <Andeh> yorky501: I should have guessed that. Thanks :)
[19:00] <kthakore> spicemint, unless if its a module
[19:00] <kari> tj83:15 inch crt
[19:00] <spicemint> like inserting those drivers to the right place
[19:01] <soundray> Shiba: (which is 32bit, but not i386)
[19:01] <Jakoo> ok ty
[19:01] <kthakore> spicemint, then u can compile the module and go enable module
[19:01] <eth01> !u
[19:01] <Vegombrei> hi i just installed mpeg123 .. how do i use it ??
[19:01] <kthakore> spicemint, hold on let me read the page
[19:01] <Shiba> soundray: yes.  the point is that I am trying to get ubuntu-ppc (and not ppc64) but the install CD gives me ppc64
[19:01] <kthakore> spicemint, I get an error at the page
[19:01] <soundray> Vegombrei: 'mpg123 musicfile.mp3'
[19:01] <spicemint> kthakore: thx in the tarball there is also a readme, which sat it shoudl be possible to insert it to the right place
[19:02] <tj83> Kari:  go up on resolution to 1024X768 and try it again
[19:02] <spicemint> weird loads fine here
[19:02] <kthakore> spicemint, ok
[19:02] <Ward1983> soundray, as you said yourself the PPC versions IS 32 bit......
[19:02] <Shiba> I have hte Ubuntu 6.06.1 PPC install CD and it gives me only ppc64
[19:02] <kthakore> spicemint, let me know how that turs out
[19:02] <Vegombrei> soundray: do i have to be in the particular folder ??
[19:02] <joey_> im trying to setup a server for vnc support and i cant connect to the server. i forworded the port but i cant connect is there something on ubuntu 7.10 blocking the port 1328
[19:02] <Wobbo> Lynet, there is nothing comming out, i installed hw info... I found that in grub console i can do vbeprobe, that gave me resolutions in hex i think... For 1280x800x32 its 0x161
[19:02] <kthakore> Shiba, is it downloaded or
[19:02] <kthakore> Shiba, mailed cds
[19:02] <soundray> Ward1983: you're right. Can you ask Shiba's last question?
[19:02] <spicemint> hm there is some new info
[19:02] <^root^> All that drives that I have mounted have root:plugdev as owner, I cannot share a file without root account, even tried chown, but doesn't work... how to make my account say "account123" owner of those
[19:02] <soundray> *answer
[19:02]  * soundray too tired

[19:03] <soundray> Ward1983: :)
[19:03] <Andeh> how do i change user in terminal?
[19:03] <kthakore> joey_ did u install firewall or touch iptables
[19:03] <kthakore> Andeh, su -u user
[19:03] <jedimind> Andeh: su
[19:03] <Shiba> kthakore: downloaded
[19:03] <suRs> how do i install stuff?  anyone know i just downloaded  kmess-1.5.1.x86.package
[19:03] <gnuskool> spicemint: disable the card n re-enable it. that solved a similiar issue over a recent update
[19:03] <joey_> no i did not install any firewall
[19:03] <Andeh> Thanks
[19:03] <kthakore> Shiba, maybe check the cd md5 chu,mcheck
[19:03] <Vegombrei> how do i reach a folder .. cd \music ?
[19:03] <Ward1983> soundray, cant seem to find the link (i luckily dont own a mac i never used it)
[19:04] <soundray> Vegombrei: cd /music (forward slash)
[19:04] <Shiba> the CD installs fine.  is there a way to get a 32-bit kernel then?
[19:04] <Steve-cal> debian_: Are you a lolcat today or what's the problem? :)
[19:04] <joey_> kthahore no firewall is installed that i know of
[19:04] <spicemint> ok will try, thanks
[19:04] <kthakore> Shiba, sure apt-get or synatpics
[19:04] <Shiba> I can install just fine; the system boots after the install and everything is kosher except the kernel is 64-bit
[19:04] <Vegombrei> soundray: it doesnt work ..
[19:04] <soundray> Vegombrei: thought so... sorry
[19:04] <tushyd> my girlfriend moved my desktop folder into another folder. I moved it back but now my desktop shows my home folder, how do I reset my desktop to be linked to the desktop folder?
[19:04] <kthakore> Shiba, u downloaded the 64 bit one
[19:05] <Ward1983> soundray, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-powerpc.iso right?
[19:05] <yorky501> vegombrei what you trying to do
[19:05] <soundray> Vegombrei: you probably have a music folder in your home, in which case you should do 'cd Music' if you're in your homne
[19:05] <helder_> what should i use to burn a xbox360 iso game ?
[19:05] <debian_> Steve-cal: The ubuntu wont let me partition NTSF while running of the partition.  So I cannot boot from anything cept hardrive.
[19:05] <Shiba> kthakore: where can I get the 32-bit one?
[19:05] <Ward1983> Shiba, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/
[19:05] <Ali_ix> Vegombrei: are you using terminal? any errors?
[19:05] <kthakore> joey_, what pacakage are u using to vnc connect
[19:05] <kthakore> Shiba, download pages
[19:05] <Vegombrei> soundray: is there a link where they have the basic commands so i can move about thru folders ..
[19:05] <Ward1983> Shiba, it says there "Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) desktop CD
[19:05] <Ward1983>     For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines. "
[19:05] <glitsj16> suRs: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ gives a nice overview of the options ...
[19:05] <debian_> Steve-cal: I need to boot livecd, from wubi innstalled ubuntu
[19:05] <soundray> !cli | Vegombrei
[19:05] <Ali_ix> !terminal | Vegombrei:
[19:06] <soundray> Vegombrei: first thing to understand is absolute and relative paths
[19:06] <Vegombrei> Ali_ix: yes, terminal ... actually trying to learn stuff
[19:06] <EmJay> servus @ all
[19:06] <lolzer> Jakoo: just cut out the text *including* the quotation marks, save, then paste it back in and save for both commands. make sure you paste it back in and save. then reboot. it should fix it.
[19:06] <kthakore> joey_ http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[19:06] <Ali_ix> Vegombrei: check also tldp.org, there is pleny of beginner tutorials
[19:06] <Shiba> Ward1983: I need something with a slightly older kernel; Mac-on-Linux doesn't work with kernels newer than 2.6.22
[19:06] <Ward1983> Shiba, as you can see there's even a server disc too :)
[19:06] <joey_> kthakore it is called echo vnc the server is echoserver and that is what i am having problems with i have already talked to there tech sapport and they had no answere for me
[19:06] <soundray> Vegombrei: with absolute paths, it doesn't matter where you are at the moment. E.g. 'cd /home/user/Music'
[19:06] <kthakore> oops
[19:06] <kthakore> Shiba http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[19:06] <Jakoo> thank you lolzer
[19:06] <Ward1983> Shiba, gutsy? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/gutsy/release/
[19:07] <scaliska> goodnite all
[19:07] <lolzer> Jakoo: here is more discussion on the bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784295&highlight=network+manager+shutdown+error
[19:07] <Steve-cal> debian_: If you can't boot from the LiveCD at startup, I don't know what you can do. Maybe pull your computer open, pull out the motherboard battery, and try to reset the BIOS password or something.
[19:07] <soundray> Vegombrei: with relative paths, you can change to a subfolder of the current one by entering its name without a leading slash: 'cd Music', or e.g. the parent directory with 'cd ..'
[19:07] <glitsj16> likewise scaliska
[19:07] <kthakore> joey_ vnc is a standard try using remote server in system preferences remote desktop
[19:07] <joey_> kthakore: i dont want to upgrade to that version
[19:08] <kthakore> joey_ oh
[19:08] <debian_> Steve-cal: It is a laptop! I just want to boot a livecd from grub/or something
[19:08] <WordLife> how i want to add GDM theme on ubuntu
[19:08] <debian_> Or from ubuntu
[19:08] <kthakore> Joey_ have u tried xvnc
[19:08] <debian_> I know you can swap kernel while you are booted
[19:08] <debian_> Can't I do that with the livecd?
[19:08] <Shiba> Ward1983: ah, I just checked the userland and it appears to be 32-bit
[19:08] <Vegombrei> soundray: thanks :)
[19:08] <debian_> Steve-cal: Or mount the livecd at /?
[19:08] <Shiba> Ward1983: /bin/ls is a 32-bit MSB ELF executable
[19:08] <lolzer> Jakoo: I had the same issue and this fixed it. the important thing to note is that it is not a serious problem. just a bug. your system is still shutting down properly.
[19:08] <Ward1983> Shiba, i tohught thats what you needed?
[19:08] <Shiba> Ward1983: I need a 32-bit kernel too
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> debian_ No external bootable devices no option to boot cd as you dont have the password..  no usb.. what do you want us to do for you
[19:09] <kari> Its not working..
[19:09] <dbarnett> 1/win 2
[19:09] <Shiba> Ward1983: how can I get it?
[19:09] <soundray> Vegombrei: I was a bit concise -- did it all make sense?
[19:09] <Vegombrei> soundray: how do i switch hdd's ?
[19:09] <WordLife> how i want to add GDM theme on ubuntu
[19:09] <Ward1983> Shiba, i gave you the link? :s
[19:09] <Steve-cal> debian_: Maybe jump over to #grub and they can help you boot from the LiveCD. You wouldn't want to mount it I think because you want to completely boot off of it--you don't want to be using any partitions.
[19:09] <Jakoo> yes it is  lolzer
[19:09] <scaliska> pdf files dont have any default pdf icon.pdf files are shown with a page instead of an icon.how can we assign a pdf icon?
[19:09] <Ward1983> Shiba, on the link i gqve you you cqn downloqd the imqges
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> WordLife drag and drom a gdm theme onto the login manager window
[19:09] <simplexio> debian_: do you allready have grub installed ?
[19:09] <debian_> Steve-cal: No, they wanted a damn dos partition, witch is the root of the problem, I cannot partition
[19:10] <kari> tj83 not workinh\g
[19:10] <debian_> simplexio: With wubi
[19:10] <soundray> Vegombrei: you don't. You make sure your hdd is mounted, and then you cd to the mount point. Typical example would be 'cd /media/disk-1'
[19:10] <Vegombrei> soundray: like i wanna go to a music folder in a partition called vegombrei .. so what do i type there ?
[19:10] <Shiba> Ward1983: so I've got ubuntu 6.06.1, which will work fine, already installed.  Can you help me get a 32-bit kernel installed from synaptics?
[19:10] <joey_> kthakore: no would that program allow the clients to connect via internet and and not to have to install anything to be able to connect? all the client comp has to do is download ans run this small program and click connect with this software
[19:10] <WordLife> where can i find login manager window
[19:10] <Ward1983> Shiba, nope sorry thqts over my head, maybe someone else
[19:10] <glitsj16> WordLife: look for a menu item in your setting called "login window", from there you can add/remove gdm themes, running xubuntu myself, the menu item might be called differently in standard ubuntu distro .. poke around a bit in the menu
[19:10] <simplexio> debian_: noidea what it means, but you could try http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html  chainloader part of it
[19:10] <Ward1983> Shiba, i dont even own a mac myself :)
[19:10] <codecaine> WordLife depends on which login manager you use
[19:10] <soundray> Vegombrei: are you sure you are using the term "partition" in the intended sense?
[19:10] <tj83> kari: so even at 1024X768 its the same problem? or would it not change to 1024X768?
[19:10] <WordLife> where can i find login manager window
[19:11] <Morydd> is there a simple way to remove gnome since I've converted to kubuntu
[19:11] <Jack_Sparrow> WordLife system..admin..loginwindow
[19:11] <simplexio> debian_: idea is if you can get grub into hd then boot to it then tell it to chainload livecd grub :)
[19:11] <Vegombrei> soundray: actually a partition on a complete different drive
[19:11] <Shiba> does anyone know how to install a 32-bit kernel on PPC?
[19:11] <Vegombrei> soundray: but mounted
[19:11] <soundray> Morydd: are you short of space? Otherwise I would just leave it there
[19:11] <kthakore> joey_ yes
[19:11] <joey_> kthakore: all i need to know is if there is something about linux blocking the port how do i find that out
[19:12] <Morydd> what is the advantage to leaving it?
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Shiba We dont support ppc anymore.. not since edgy
[19:12] <kthakore> joey_, no there shouldn't be
[19:12] <joey_> kthakore ok thanks
[19:12] <joey_> c ya
[19:12] <soundray> Vegombrei: what's the mount point? Find out using the 'mount' command. It'll say something1 ON something2 -- something2 is the mountpoint

[19:13] <Ward1983> soundray, Shiba wants to get a new kernel on his allready running ubuntu 6.06, can you help him? i have no experience in that erea
[19:13] <Ward1983> area
[19:13] <Morydd> stdin: thanks.
[19:13] <tj83> kari : so even at 1024X768 its the same problem? or would it not change to 1024X768?
[19:14] <simplexio> Shiba: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[19:14] <vbabiy-laptop> Hey where can I get more info on how to use launch pad to help out with a project
[19:14] <soundray> Shiba: what kernel are you currently running, and which one do you want? ( Ward1983)
[19:14] <simplexio> Shiba: follow those instructions.
[19:14] <Vegombrei> soundray: oh ok lermme see
[19:15] <Shiba> soundray: I need a 32-bit kernel with sources booted
[19:15] <buckie> guide
[19:15] <buckie> !guide
[19:15] <Shiba> soundray: I'm trying to get Mac-on-Linux working
[19:15] <Rolcol> Where can I locally edit the source for update-manager?
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !ppc | Shiba
[19:16] <soundray> Shiba: if you've installed 64bit ppc, you can't switch to a 32bit kernel without reinstalling
[19:16] <junkeR> does anyone know of an ubuntu/linux app where it's a web-based multi-user database for entering information in columns/rows (like a spreadsheet)?
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Rolcol gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:16] <Shiba> soundray: why not?  the userland appears to be 32bit
[19:17] <Rolcol> Jack_Sparrow, not the sources.  I mean the source code.  Isn't it written in python?
[19:17] <Shiba> soundray: file /bin/ls shows that it is a 32-bit executable
[19:17] <glitsj16> junkeR: if it's webbased there's nothing to install .. or are you looking to host such a system on your ubuntu server ?
[19:17] <soundray> Shiba: what does 'uname -a' show?
[19:17] <Lynet> junkeR: Google Spreadsheet?
[19:17] <junkeR> yeah, host on ubuntu server
[19:17] <junkeR> I would to host internally
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Rolcol Ah.. It should be py yes..
[19:17] <Shiba> soundray: ppc64
[19:17] <Guest60379> ei
[19:17] <Guest60379> sou do braziiiiil
[19:18] <Monkeyfett8> Excuse me, but can anyone help me find out why I might be port scanning?  Can using ping cause someone to see you as port scanning?  Otherwise, could there be something causing an automatic port scanning of outside networks?
[19:18] <Shiba> 2.6.15-26-powerpc64-smp
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Monkeyfett8 Ping can be seen that way
[19:18] <puff> Hm, odd... I am trying to install a firefox add-on and the "add to firefox" button ins't working.
[19:18] <puff> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1559
[19:18] <soundray> Shiba: what kernels do you have available? 'dpkg -l linux-image-2.6.2*' (please use http://paste.ubuntu.com)
[19:19] <puff> Oh, wait, for an older version of firefox it says. Well.
[19:19] <Scunizi> How do I change my mouse's scroll wheel to 1 line instead of 3 lines..? System/Preferances/Mouse doesn't have an option to change.
[19:19] <Monkeyfett8> hrmm okay, that might be it then, thanks
[19:19] <leftheart> i need help..my screen res is locked at 800/600 i clicked keep screen res low when it first started up...how do i fix it?
[19:19] <skillet> Jack_Sparrow, how?
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !res
[19:19] <yamanickill> right, there is something really annoying happenin with my computer. for some reason, it tells me in the bottom of the screen whenever i change a song in rhythmbox, or get a message in x-chat. i have checked both of them and cant see anything to change it. i'm using ubuntu 8.04 with gnome and compiz btw
[19:20] <Ntemis> i need a good program for logistics account keeping
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> skillet How what
[19:20] <isofunk> you tell me ;)
[19:20] <Ntemis> any recomentations?
[19:20] <puff> Now,how the heck did I get swiftofx 3.0pre installed on this machine?
[19:20] <puff> Ntemis: Logistics account keeping?  Is that like ERP?
[19:20] <emdash> uhhhh
[19:21] <jordi> hi
[19:21] <emdash> what the hell's with that last update that uninstalled xulrunner AND devhelp?
[19:21] <emdash> and firefox?
[19:21] <glitsj16> junkeR: what webserver environment are you used to working with ? plenty of Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP apps that can offer such a service ... hard to give advise without further info ..
[19:21] <Shiba> soundray: hmm, it looks like I might have a 32-bit kernel installed
[19:21] <Scunizi> puff: swiftfox is not the default... it has to be manually installed.. usually through synaptic or aptitude or apt-get
[19:21] <jordi> I'm trying to upgrade a ubuntu box remotely, using do-dist-upgrade
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !language | emdash
[19:21] <daniele> ciao
[19:21] <jordi> this box got openoffice and GNOME removed, but the dist-upgrade to Hardy insists in installing it again.  Any idea what metapackage is pulling this?
[19:21] <junkeR> I currently have all three running - I'm not really good with SQL databases
[19:22] <daniele> #ubuntu-chat.it
[19:22] <Shiba> soundray: http://rafb.net/p/tVHGK261.html
[19:22] <puff> Scunizi: Looking at getswiftfox.com now... should I use the debs there, or are there ubuntu-specific debs?
[19:22] <Ntemis> puff like this http://www.gnucash.org/
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> jordi Ubuntu-desktop will pull that in
[19:22] <kari>  tj83: 1024X768 dint work..
[19:22] <Scunizi> puff: should be specific debs I think.. have you used the search button in System/Admin/Synaptic Package Manager?
[19:22] <jordi> Jack_Sparrow: that isn't installed
[19:22] <junkeR> Can you name a few of the apps?
[19:23] <jordi> Jack_Sparrow: and isn't being installed whne I do dist-upgrade either
[19:23] <tj83> kari: you mean it would not accept 1024X768? or ccsm give the same behavior under 1024X768?
[19:23] <soundray> Shiba: you seem to have it installed, but you're not booting to it. Are you booting with yaboot?
[19:23] <Scunizi> puff: but it begs the question of why you want to do this.. did you upgrade from gutsy to hardy and are having problems with FF?
[19:23] <Shiba> soundray: yes
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> jordi no idea..
[19:23] <puff> Scunizi: Ah, yes, I see it.
[19:23] <puff> Scunizi: Why I want swiftfox instead of firefox?
[19:23] <glitsj16> junkeR: the SQL is mostly already written for you in these things, it's the configuration of the web- and database server that's the tricky part if you haven't done it before, i'll dig into the bookmarks, brb
[19:23] <Wobbo> Lynet, its simple 0x161 add 200, so i get 361, turn it into decimal and you get the answer
[19:23] <jordi> Jack_Sparrow: hm, I suspect something to do with language-support stuff
[19:23] <soundray> Shiba: I think you can see the available kernels at the yaboot: prompt by hitting the Tab key
[19:23] <Wobbo> Lynet: thanks for the tips... bye
[19:23] <junkeR> yes, I've done that before
[19:23] <puff> Scunizi: Unfortunately, I had to ugprade the hard way - drive failure.  Installed from scratch.
[19:24] <ddonky> is there a way to make 'ls' sort by date?
[19:24] <soundray> ddonky: ls -t
[19:24] <Shiba> soundray: looking at the yaboot config, it only lists a single kernel
[19:24] <Shiba> soundray: but that kernel is a symlink in boot to the 64-bit kernel
[19:24] <puff> blah, it looks like the swiftfox site *only* provides 3.0pre downloads.
[19:24] <kari>  tj83:1024X768 is not accepted
[19:24] <Shiba> soundray: I see what appears to be a 32-bit kernel; maybe I can switch to it
[19:25] <leftheart> where do i type in commands?
[19:25] <tj83> kari : did it give you an "RandR" error?
[19:25] <soundray> Shiba: worth a try... Will you have a rescue method in case it won't boot after that?
[19:25] <Shiba> soundray: yeah, the reinstall CD
[19:25] <Shiba> :)
[19:25] <soundray> leftheart: in a terminal Window. Applications-Accessories-Terminal
[19:25] <lolzer> so what is the advantage of swiftfox? I don't get it.
[19:26] <Scunizi> puff: I've never looked at swiftfox.. it's based in FF but I don't know what the differences are.. if you have to go for the ubuntu deb or debian deb.. but be aware that if you get a deb from places other than the ubuntu repos you might break your system
[19:26] <eth01> lolzer: absolutely none imo
[19:26] <ddonky> soundray - thanks
[19:27] <soundray> lolzer: it's not using the firefox trademark, so swiftfox can carry modifications that aren't blessed by the Mozilla Foundation
[19:27] <lolzer> "optimized for linux" or so the swiftfox site says- but firefox was born in linux.
[19:27] <yamanickill> right, there is something really annoying happenin with my computer. for some reason, it tells me in the bottom of the screen whenever i change a song in rhythmbox, or get a message in x-chat. i have checked both of them and cant see anything to change it. i'm using ubuntu 8.04 with gnome and compiz btw
[19:27] <Shiba> soundray: thanks for the reminder, I'm adding multiple entries for all available kernels now
[19:28] <wild_oscar> I'm having problems with compiz desktop effects since this morning, after upgrading to hardy
[19:28] <tempest> when i logout of kubuntu it goes to a black screen      what do i need to do to figure out why its doing that ?   it used to work then it didn't
[19:28] <legend2440> lolzer: thanks for the login window cut and paste tip. it worked for me at least on last two reboots. it was just mostly annoying
[19:28] <eth01> lolzer: they say it's "optimized". yet when compared with just firefox itself, there is no difference.
[19:28] <wild_oscar> are there any known issues with it? enhanced zoom doesn't work, shift switcher doesn't work either
[19:28] <puff> Scunizi: Swiftfox is just firefox compiled specifically for your CPU.  It's equivalent to swapping the default kernel from the ubuntu installation with a cpu-specific kernel.
[19:28] <jordi> Jack_Sparrow: left over mozillaf-firefox language packs
[19:29] <Scunizi> puff: ah.. ok..
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[19:29] <lolzer> legend2440: no problem. yeah, that little bug is annoying but you should have it squashed now. :)
[19:29] <LaG|Fingel> hello, Im having some problems with a game using /dev/dsp from some reading I've found that /dev/dsp is now obsolete? Is there anyway to fix this. Problem just arouse from upgrade to 8.04
[19:29] <jessika> hi guys, after rebooting yesterday I can only boot into low graphics mode
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> LaG|Fingel What game
[19:29] <jessika> i reinstalled the drivers and such but no luck
[19:30] <soundray> !res | jessika
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !res | jessika
[19:30] <LaG|Fingel> Jack_Sparrow, Unreal Tournament 1999
[19:30] <slacker2> I'm back.... still intalling ubuntu for the first time...   no wireless networking, checked the troubleshooting, checked to see if the wireless device is on.  I'm told "unable to resolvehost <computername>"
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> LaG|Fingel I dont know the answer but I knew the first question people would ask
[19:30] <slacker2> suggestions?
[19:31] <soundray> slacker2: is that message actually from sudo? Try 'sudo ls' in a terminal
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> slacker2 Can you connect hardwire to intenet and do the updates.
[19:31] <LaG|Fingel> I get the error "open /dev/dsp: Invalid Argument" "Audio init failed"
[19:31] <slacker2> I typed "sudo lshw -C network" and the response was "unable to resolve host..."
[19:32] <soundray> slacker2: please try 'sudo ls' and see if it says the same thing
[19:32] <slacker2> yes, still unable to resolve host
[19:32] <Ali_ix> weird!
[19:32] <slacker2> and thanks for the help
[19:32] <soundray> !hostname | slacker2
[19:32] <iami> Hello friends
[19:32] <iami> I was playing with fsck and I broke my partition
[19:32] <iami> Any ideas on how to fix this?
[19:33] <soundray> slacker2: you will have to reboot into recovery mode to follow ubottu's advice ^^. Do you know how to do that?
[19:33] <jessika> doesn't look like anything there applies. the nvidia driver isn't loading
[19:33] <slacker2> no
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> iami Did you ignore the warnings about fsck a mounted partition
[19:33] <slacker2> I'm a newbie
[19:33] <dameouse> what packages do i need to install to be able to program with QT in c++?
[19:33] <LaG|Fingel> Jack_Sparrow, what is the first question people would ask?
[19:33] <Shiba> soundray: I'm getting OpenFirmware problems on the 32-bit kernel
[19:33] <jessika> although it says it is in the hardware manager
[19:33] <Ali_ix> iami:  actually, fsck is somthing to fIX partions, how did you broke something with tah?
[19:33] <Shiba> soundray: illegal memory access or some such
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> LaG|Fingel What game you were having trouble running
[19:33] <LaG|Fingel> oh ok
[19:33] <iami> Ali_ix: I was just messing with it, and it said it could cause data loss
[19:33] <soundray> slacker2: it's an option on the grub menu during early boot. You may have to hit Esc to see that menu
[19:33] <lolzer> yeah, but if you run fsck on a mounted partition bad things arise
[19:33] <glitsj16> jessika: any output from glxinfo ?
[19:34] <iami> Ali_ix: Then I continued to run the application
[19:34] <soundray> Shiba: that's over my head. Sorry...
[19:34] <C10uD> hello there
[19:34] <iami> and now I cannot mount my Hard disk, it says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad suplerblock on /dev/sda1/, missing codepage or helper program
[19:34] <jessika> glx info returns Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[19:34] <Ali_ix> !fsck | iami
[19:35] <jessika> it worked until the kernl update
[19:35] <Jack_Sparrow> iami Try booting a livecd and fsck after you make sure nothing is mounted
[19:35] <jessika> then after the first reboot, but on the second no display
[19:35] <iami> Ali_ix: I do not even want to fix it
[19:35] <C10uD> is there a way an usb peripheral can retain the same bus and device (see lsusb) after disconnecting/reconnecting the device?
[19:35] <iami> Ali_ix: I just want to get access to a few files on the machine
[19:35] <pedro__> Hello
[19:35] <glitsj16> jessika: looks like a mis-configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf, hardy has a newer xorg and things have changed a bit .. could you pastebin that xorg.conf please ?
[19:36] <pedro__> I have installed a Hardy in my laptop
[19:36] <Jack_Sparrow> C10uD If a mountable drive etc.. fstab can use uuid
[19:36] <Ali_ix> iami: try live cd, mount desired partions and backup your files, if they are on corrupted partion, you need to fix it first
[19:36] <pedro__> I have a problem with the temperature
[19:36] <lolzer> iami: then just use a live cd to access the file system.
[19:36] <jessika> i am using the same xorg that i was until yesterday, even did dpkg reconfigure, etc but no luck
[19:36] <iami> Ali_ix: I'm currently booted with the live CD, it's on my laptop sitting next to me... How do I fix  the partition?
[19:36] <soundray> C10uD: I don't think there is a way to do that, but there may be another way to tackle your problem, as Jack_Sparrow suggests
[19:37] <pedro__> in normal use (surfing in internet ) the temperature is 70C
[19:37] <C10uD> mmm thanks for the answers ;)
[19:37] <AlabamaHit> How do I check my ip through terminal?
[19:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck
[19:37] <C10uD> i'll ask google now
[19:37] <C10uD> :P
[19:37] <pedro__> and in a heavy use it can rise to 100 or more temperature
[19:37] <pedro__> Does anyone help me?
[19:37] <Ali_ix> iami: i have some few info about repairing partiontions, you may try to search community (forum/wiki) or ask someone else here
[19:38] <soundray> pedro__: please keep everything on one line. Have you checked your fans?
[19:38] <pedro__> jaja, ok
[19:38] <pedro__> I'm sorry
[19:38] <iami> Ali_ix: can I re-run fsck from the livecd to fix the partition?
[19:38] <puff> Does anybody know about installing an optimized kernel?
[19:39] <soundray> pedro__: fans working?
[19:39] <Ali_ix> iami:  that's an option and may help
[19:39] <AlabamaHit> Anyone knwo the terminal command to check My IP address on the comuter?
[19:39] <dameouse> ifconfig
[19:39] <pedro__> I have installed a Hardy in my laptop, and I have a temperature problem. It is too hot, in normal use it is almost 70C.
[19:39] <Ali_ix> AlabamaHit: ifconfig
[19:39] <puff> Back on hoary I could install a kernel image from apt that suited my CPU;  is that still doable/necessary with Hardy?
[19:39] <AlabamaHit> Thanks :)
[19:39] <soundray> puff: the generic kernel loads CPU-specific optimizations at runtime, so it's not strictly necessary
[19:39] <puff> pedro__: What kind of laptop?
[19:39] <pedro__> nc8430 hp
[19:39] <puff> soundray: Ah, it does?  Cool.
[19:39] <mike_> hi
[19:40] <mike_> anyone from Greece??
[19:40] <Pici> !gr | Metty_
[19:40] <jessika> http://pastebin.com/m2ab0a9b7 <---- is my xorg.conf, which has not changed since a month ago
[19:40] <Pici> mike_: ^
[19:40] <soundray> puff: I think there's a factoid...
[19:40] <soundray> !generic | puff
[19:40] <pedro__> I have been reading about it in inet and a lot of people have the same problem but I didn't find any solution
[19:40] <junkeR> have you found any apps, glitsj16?
[19:40] <puff> soundray: Cool.
[19:40] <jessika> lsmod | grep nvida give no result so i dont think its loading
[19:41] <soundray> pedro__: are those people using the same laptop model?
[19:41] <glitsj16> junkeR: nope sorry, it's a jungle and my web-dev days are long gone i'm afraid ;)
[19:41] <pedro__> no
[19:41] <puff> pedro__: What kind of laptop? I've been seeing high temps with my thinkpad t43p ever since upgrading to gutsy.
[19:41] <Metty_> hmm - how can i get s-video _input_ to work @ubuntu? got the ati driver installed via menu, but well - don't know what do to any further
[19:41] <junkeR> what would you recommend searching for in google?  i can't really find relevant results
[19:41] <pedro__> dual core 4 gB ram 160 gb
[19:42] <Ali_ix> Metty_: s-video *output* you mean?
[19:42] <iami> linux friends: what fsck options do I run to repair a corrupted disc?
[19:42] <pedro__> laptop rise up to 105C
[19:42] <Metty_> no, _input_ i mean
[19:42] <Metty_> getting a signal from my receiver -> pc
[19:42] <Metty_> works fine under windows using the wdm drivers
[19:42] <pedro__> I think that can be a problem whit the kernel and the dual core
[19:43] <pedro__> but i am not sure
[19:43] <glitsj16> jessika: do you have nvidia-settings package installed ?
[19:43] <Ali_ix> Metty_: no idea
[19:43] <puff> pedro__: Are you sure there have been no other hardware changes recently?
[19:43] <jessika> yes, running nvidia-settings says the nvidia driver is not enables and to run nvidia-xconfig
[19:43] <wild_oscar> are there any known issues compiz desktop effects after upgrading to hardy? enhanced zoom doesn't work, shift switcher doesn't work either
[19:44] <pedro__> I have change from windows to linux recentrly
[19:44] <hborole> register hborole
[19:44] <pedro__> I used to use linux long time ago :D
[19:44] <jessika> and i did that and it did not help. i have tried the nvidia driver from nvidias website to
