[00:02] <abdelrahman> hi, I have a problem, my computer freezes when it wakes up from hibernate
[00:02] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: backup the whole system I don't think so, backup  all your data sure, but  compiz program causing the need for a backup  probably not
[00:02] <abdelrahman> can anybody help
[00:02] <freedumMan> sudo gedit
[00:02] <freedumMan> sorry
[00:02] <bk> abdelrahman: what kind of computer are you using?

[00:05] <Darkchef> freedumMan : yeah i know, ill have to look into this a bit more , is there anyway of just having it all set up so i can do php work
[00:05] <freedumMan> Im almost out of battery here i have to go but sounds like you need http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html which is simple just extract to a directory
[00:05] <tannersummers_> wat u think sebsebseb
[00:05] <abdelrahman> bk: well alot!
[00:06] <freedumMan> Darkchef, I've used that in the past and it has all php items installed
[00:06] <bk> abdelrahman: haha, hmmm, ive never ran into this, unless your computer just cant handle hibernate

[00:06] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: December 2007,  the first post talks about gutsy and suse in brackets
[00:07] <bk> abdelrahman: did it come with Ubuntu? or Windows?
[00:07] <tannersummers_> sebsebseb im new at thsi so im guessing it wont work?
[00:07] <Roasted> What's the best way of networking a printer from my Ubuntu machine to Windows XP clients?
[00:07] <abdelrahman> bk: windows
[00:07] <abdelrahman> bk: its a tablet pc
[00:07] <erUSUL> !cups
[00:07] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[00:07] <bk> abdelrahman: tablet? as in touch?
[00:07] <boss_mc> AnArrayfulOfPerl: sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/blah /mnt/blah2
[00:08] <erUSUL> Roasted: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[00:08] <Roasted> yeah. I know about cups. I know about samba. But I've tried every tutorial I've found and I can't seem to get it ironed out.
[00:08] <Roasted> I was hoping somebody could offer some advice on ACTUALLY doing it...
[00:08] <abdelrahman> bk:yep
[00:08] <bk> abdelrahman: ahhhh, now that i dont know, i dont know what the differences are on those
[00:08] <lula88>  lol

[00:08] <uuv> I'm trying to run Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne on my laptop with wine, but when i start the game only "dos" pops up and prints some text and then lightning fast disappears. Is there any way i could see what's it typing and how I could make the game work.  Any ideas why? I'm having the same problem at home and at university, so it's unlikely to be a router problem.
[00:11] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: most  Ubuntu links from 2007,  will be to old for  later versions of Ubuntu
[00:11] <p-f> I have about 1300 seconds until my lease expires so please make it quick :p
[00:11] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: so 2007 links are usaully bad with modern software versions
[00:11] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: I think there's a  #compiz
[00:11] <asdadsf> i have a problem with sound
[00:11] <asdadsf> vlc works with oss
[00:12] <williamd> asdadsf, i did too
[00:12] <sebsebseb> !sound |  asdasdsf
[00:12] <boss_mc> !details | asdadsf
[00:12] <p-f> this is a new issue, by the way. It started occuring about a week ago. I haven't made any major updates for the last two weeks so I'm not sure what could be the cause.
[00:12] <asdadsf> but everything else doesn't work
[00:12] <Slart> p-f: is that a problem? I've got 2810 seconds on my home lan
[00:12] <asdadsf> with sound
[00:12] <tannersummers_> sebsebseb ty
[00:12] <Slart> p-f: dhclient should renew the lease automatically though.. so it shouldn't be a problem
[00:12] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: ok good luck
[00:12] <asdadsf> anyone here can help me?
[00:12] <p-f> Slart, I may be badly interpreting this then
[00:12] <boss_mc> asdadsf: do other things work if you close vlc first?
[00:12] <p-f> Slart, either way, my connection drops every 3-4 minutes
[00:12] <Slart> p-f: even though 200 seconds seem a bit short
[00:12] <asdadsf> what do u mean
[00:13] <asdadsf> in vlc's settings in choose oss
[00:13] <asdadsf> and it works but alsa does not
[00:13] <asdadsf> my sound overall does not work
[00:13] <p-f> Slart, this only occurs in my appartment and in a few buildings on campus
[00:13] <Slart> p-f: hmm.. it drops when you're at home too?
[00:13] <boss_mc> !alsa | asdadsf
[00:13] <asdadsf> only works in vlc
[00:13] <waffle> Hi, i can't get my microphone to work, but sound works fine. I'm on an acer aspire 5315 on 9.04 ubuntu... lspci says i have 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) someone please help
[00:13] <p-f> Slart, everyone else's connection is stable
[00:14] <boss_mc> p-f: for comparison, I get 32903secs off my router...
[00:14] <p-f> Slart, I sometimes get 2-3 hours if I'm lucky, but that's on good days
[00:14] <siliconfalcon> howdy all. I am really going nuts and need some help with connecting to a Windows network share. They can all see me but I can not see them.
[00:14] <caro> hi
[00:14] <chuck_> abdelrahman, not that i can see i do not use hibernation so am not to well versed on it but thought you would like to know your not alone with the problem
[00:14] <Slart> p-f: sounds like something else is causing your problems.. anything interesting in the logs? /var/log/syslog will have some information about dhcp leases and such
[00:14] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: oh your link says  in the edit that they won't work for hardy (that's 8.04),  that means they  are bound to not work for 8.10 or 9.04 either
[00:15] <boss_mc> siliconfalcon: have you set your workgroup to the right one in /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[00:15] <elli222> Hello, i have a funny problem involving sound. Sound playback works fine, and i have a microphone attached to the -back- of my PC. Playback from that works fine, but i cant seem to capture, unless i plug it into the -front- mic socket...
[00:15] <tannersummers_> sebsebseb well no one in compiz channel well reply to my question
[00:16] <waffle>  Hi, i can't get my microphone to work, but sound works fine. I'm on an acer aspire 5315 on 9.04 ubuntu... lspci says i have 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) someone please help
[00:16] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: well I don't think anyone in there is being paid to be in there,  same for this channel, and so you just got to wait and have patitence
 boss_mc Yes, I have gone through all the forums suggestions
[00:16] <p-f> Slart, there's a "No IPv6 routers present" message from 'kernel' right after dhclient's bound to blahblah renewal in x seconds...
[00:16] <boss_mc> siliconfalcon: are you trying to connect to vista or XP?
[00:16] <Slart> p-f: hmm.. why not try disabling ipv6.. see if that makes things more stable
[00:16] <siliconfalcon> XP
[00:16] <Slart> !ipv6 | p-f
[00:16] <ruler> can i oot os from the pendrive
[00:16] <p-f> Slart, I'm also seeing a few "wmaster0: unknwon hardware address type 801"
[00:16] <ruler> can i boot os from the pendrive
[00:17] <Slart> p-f: you're running wireless?
[00:17] <boss_mc> ruler: depends on pc/bios
[00:17] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: well I suppouse you can try the general Linux channel as well ##linux
[00:17] <sebsebseb> tannersummers_: since what you want to do isn't distro specific
[00:17] <elli222> ruler: You can boot operating systems from USB mass storage devices on modern systems
[00:18] <tannersummers_> sebsebseb i have a feeling they well not be much help either lol
[00:18] <gartral> how do i revoke sudo rights from a terminal without logging out or closing the window based terminal?
[00:18] <LinuxMoogle> any one living in canada ontario?
[00:18] <ruler> boss_mc: what type of pc it required
[00:18] <p-f> Slart, yes
[00:18] <chuck_> ruler, if your bios allows it and you burned it right
[00:18] <p-f> Slart, wpa_supplicant + dhclient
[00:18] <boss_mc> ruler: some can, some can't, pretty much anything from the last 5 or so years will though...
[00:18] <elli222> gartal,  sudo -K
[00:18] <siliconfalcon> I removed Jaunty and installed Intrepid but ofcoruse that didn't work either. Fresh install

[00:19] <ruler> please tell how can i oot
[00:19] <p1oooop> actionparsnip: yo
[00:19] <mgrunde> Anyone know anything about problems using an external display on a laptop using fglrx?

 boss_mc XP
[00:20] <elli222> fglrx is full of problems, atleast from what iv'e heard...
[00:20] <Slart> p-f: this looks interesting http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-65355.html
[00:20] <p-f> Slart, although it probably won't disconnect now that I'm looking at it :p
[00:20] <p1oooop> hey ryan_, nice to see someone with the same ISP here
[00:20] <boss_mc> ruler, make your usb (maybe using unetbootin) then shut down, plug in the usb, turn on and on the very first screen you see will be an option to go into setup
[00:20] <ryan_> hey can anyone help me with adding a ram control applet to my panel i had it before i just forget what it's called
[00:20] <ariqs> what setting do I need to have in ubuntu for my access point to ensure that the SSID is being broadcasted?
[00:20] <Slart> p-f: I know it's about fedora and all.. but it seems to be a similar problem
[00:20] <arrrghhh> ebox, not xbox.
[00:20] <Slart> p-f: of course it wont.. it will wait until you've got something important to do =)
[00:20] <boss_mc> ruler, press that button and in the menu there you will be able to set the USB pen as primary boot device
[00:20] <p-f> Slart, I tried playing around with the send command earlier
[00:20] <reqon> oops
[00:20] <p1oooop> ryan_: like a ram freeer?
[00:20] <p-f> Slart, I always ended up with smaller values around 1500s
[00:21] <boss_mc> ruler: then save and exit adn you should boot from the usb
[00:21] <reqon> u mean ps3?
[00:21] <ryan_> ploooop uhm im not sure if that is it. It has a little ram icon next to it then it says like 800ghz or like 1.7 i think
[00:21] <p1oooop> ryan_: thats the CPU clock monitor
[00:21] <mgrunde> ariqs, You should set broadcasting/non-broadcasting from the router, not from Ubuntu
[00:21] <ruler> thanks

[00:21] <ryan_> ploooop ok. thanks. whats the terminal command fo rinstalling

[00:28] <avdg> can someone help me with grub? (maybe better to pm me)
[00:28] <boss_mc> !pm | avdg
[00:28] <p1oooop> I suck at grup
[00:28] <p1oooop> avdg: what happened
[00:28] <ruler> mah: you are obsolutely correct
[00:28] <arrrghhh> !grub | ploooop
[00:28] <marksman> Flash videos in firefox seem a little jumpy and sometimes the video gets distorted in crazy colors, also flash games don't work.  This happens in Firefox
[00:28] <avdg> i had installer ubuntu, standard, but i had too less space on that partition
[00:28] <mehr> hi everyone
[00:29] <p1oooop> I didnt say I had problems with it.
[00:29] <ruler> mah: one mistake younger sisters  pc
[00:29] <avdg> so i tryed to extend that partition in windows, but grub fails on restart
[00:29] <mehr> farsiiiiiiiiiii
[00:29] <arrrghhh> ploooop there's how-to's there also sheesh.
[00:29] <avdg> im now on the livecd
[00:29] <Pici> !ir | mehr
[00:29] <mehr> who can speak farsi?
[00:30] <p1oooop> avdg: you cannnot partition exts on windows.
[00:30] <p1oooop> avdg: theres your problem.
[00:30] <boss_mc> avdg: it may be that the (hdX,X) changed due to the resize
[00:31] <p1oooop> avdg: that also may be the case ^^^
[00:31] <avdg> also, i cant find /bin/grub
[00:31] <mah> avdg: there are tutorials listed specifically for your type of situation
[00:31] <yo2boy_> hey guys
[00:31] <boss_mc> avdg /usr/sbin/grub
[00:31] <p1oooop> avdg: what partition you using?
[00:31] <PhotoJim> avdg: type "whereis grub' and it will tell you where grub is
[00:31] <the1corrupted> Is there some way I can reinstall my sound drivers?  Something fudged up and all I hear is static where sound used to be.
[00:32] <yo2boy_> How do I open Teamviewer.exe in wine?
[00:32] <yo2boy_> it wont open
[00:32] <avdg> doesnt look like the config file is there ...
[00:32] <nonewmsgs> i cannot get sound with dvds since my intrepid upgrade
[00:32] <avdg> i see only grub-install
[00:32] <boss_mc> avdg: the config file lives in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:32] <yo2boy_> i've installed the setup via wine
[00:32] <p1oooop> the1corrupted: you can probably use gstreamer-properties to choose a sound driver that works
[00:32] <yo2boy_> but
[00:32] <the1corrupted> yo2boy_ You need WINE, or a Virtual Windows Machine to run .exe files.   They can all see me and play with my files but I can not see them. I have installed Samba and followed all the forums but I am still missing something
[00:34] <avdg> p1ooop: i cant find the menu.lst :(
[00:35] <elli222> My backpanel Mic socket only works when i am root, what is going on?
[00:35] <boss_mc> avdg: that could explain why it can't boot...
[00:35] <p1oooop> siliconfalcon: perhaps your network does not allow the viewing of your networkmates
[00:35] <the1corrupted> ploooop: Not to select one..  Reinstall it...  Like I said, something fudged up.
[00:35] <Kalmi> siliconfalcon, can you connect to them by ip address? Places->Connect to-> Windows share
[00:35] <siliconfalcon> ,msg> Kalmi I can ping them
[00:35] <p1oooop> the1corrupted: yea, something with alsa and stuff
[00:35] <nejode> siliconfalcon: is testparm OK?
[00:36] <Kalmi> siliconfalcon, ...
[00:36] <avdg> so i need to reïnstall grub?
[00:36] <p1oooop> the1corrupted: should be somewhere in the repositories
[00:36] <reqon> everything works except my favourite game of all!! Time!!!!!...... DEAD SPACE!!! aarrrggghhh! "dam u fglrx! DAM U! ATI dam U! AMD!
 nejode #ubunt
[00:36] <elli222> Hey, AMD is fine!
[00:36] <Pici> reqon: calm down
[00:37] <mah> reqon: you have windows, yes?
[00:37] <elli222> They just bought ATI :x
 nejode sorry, says server role is stand alone
[00:37] <p1oooop> reqon: ok, take a few deep breaths
[00:37] <Kalmi> reqon: ##windows
[00:37] <p1oooop> reqon: and count to ten, slowly
[00:37] <Kalmi> siliconfalcon, that is not what I asked...
[00:37] <ruler> in my xp os cd there is autorun.inf can i remove it
[00:37] <nejode> siliconfalcon: that's ok
[00:37] <mah> reqon: while fixing usability is good, you might as well play those games in windows, as they ares smoother
[00:37] <reqon> (breathing) 1,2 miss a few 9,10.......ok fell better
[00:37] <kyle205> okay, so I've managed to make a mess of my Ubuuntu install, would copying my home folder to a thumb drive and restoring it to a new install be the best way to retain all my files, while still starting anew?
[00:38] <avdg> boss_mc? reinstall grub?
[00:38] <p1oooop> the1corrupted: did you try sudo apt-get install alsa?
 Kalmi no I can't connect using the ip
[00:38] <mah> avdg: follow any of the many common tutorials for that, or get supergrubdisk
[00:38] <boss_mc> avdg: that probably won't help unfortunately
[00:38] <ruler> in xp os cd there is autorun.inf if i write it affect my pc
[00:38] <Roasted> I'm trying to network a printer from Ubuntu to an XP machine. I have samba set up and my printer appeared when I connect to my server. I right clicked, hit connect, connected it to the driver, and now it appears - but it says access denied, unable to connect.
[00:38] <the1corrupted> ploooop: Yes.  I even tried removing it and reinstalling it.  (I already have all the sound drivers, but I shut down VMWare inappropriately and it fudged up how Linux interacts with the sound card)
[00:39] <avdg> mah: i'll try supergrubdisk
[00:39] <kyle205> ....
[00:39] <Kalmi> siliconfalcon, try this: smbclient -L 192.168.X.X (replace X with the actual ip of one of the machines...) You should see the shares
[00:39] <yo2boy_> why is #winehq so dead
[00:39] <nejode> kyle205: it won't work on a thundrive with fat

[00:44] <ghindo> p1oooop: I was thinking of using it to just stream video over a LAN...

[00:45] <Roasted> Printer Question - I have a printer on my Ubuntu machine. The policies were set up according to Ubuntu's web site. When the XP machine connects to it, it says access denied. According to the policy on my Ubuntu machine, it's allowable to everyone.  How can I fix this?
[00:45] <p1oooop> ghindo: that'll work...
[00:45] <coz_> ghindo,  here is the home page   http://www.videolan.org/
[00:45] <fryguy> tvbox: add them to whatever you use to initialize your x11 session (gnome-session unless you changed things)
[00:45] <fryguy> byte^: yes
[00:46] <byte^> Okay.
[00:46] <racarter> i need help with audio
[00:46] <reqon> yes....yes.....no no no.......yes......yes yes!
[00:46] <fryguy> byte^: more specifically it will reinstall it, and add the old ubuntu install to the new menu
[00:46] <racarter> http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/ --> I'm using this. it used to work but now doesn't. how can i troubleshoot this?
[00:46] <byte^> Alright, so it will import all the other entries?
[00:46] <fryguy> byte^: no
[00:47] <byte^> So I´ĺl need to add them again.
[00:47] <fryguy> byte^: yes
[00:47] <byte^> Hmmm.
[00:47] <racarter> http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/ --> I'm using this. it used to work but now doesn't. how can i troubleshoot this?
[00:47] <fryguy> byte^: or just copy the menu.lst from your other install
[00:47] <racarter> sorry for repeating myself...
[00:47] <byte^> Yeah I´d probably do that.
[00:47] <chuck_> ghindo, cvlc
[00:47] <p1oooop> well, later guys i g2g have some tun
[00:47] <p1oooop> *fun
[00:47] <tvbox> fryguy i'm happy to add them to the gnome-session file, where is it kept (reasonably clean install)
[00:48] <fryguy> racarter: is the device detected, is there a driver loaded for it? is the volume muted, is the right mixer being used? are the right settings for the mixer available? have you tried disabling pulseaudio and using alsa directly? have you tried using oss?
[00:48] <byte^> If I can play sound correctly from flash videos online, why am I getting hardware beeps for system errors? Is there a way to change this?
[00:48] <fryguy> tvbox: no idea, i don't use gnome, probably gnome-session-properties or something
[00:48] <racarter> the device is detected. I'm using the sound preferences gui tool in gnome, i've tried the alsa and oss drivers for this device but none work (they used to earlier today...)
[00:49] <Kalmi> byte^, you could blacklist the pcspkr kernel module
[00:49] <RukusX> hey how do you install Qt3 properly?
[00:49] <joanki123> can anyone recommend a netbook that works really well with the ubuntu operating sys?
[00:49] <byte^> Kalmi: What exactly would that mean?? By blacklisting it would it force it play a system wav? IS there a sound that is supposed to be used when an error has occured?
[00:49] <fryguy> joanki123: pretty much any of them
[00:49] <racarter> nevermind, the oss drivers work now
[00:49] <byte^> I mean, if it is supposed to play system beeps, then everything is fine I suppose.
[00:50] <joanki123> i was going to buy a dell mini 12, but the graphics card isn't really colmpatible
[00:50] <fryguy> byte^: what error are you referring to
[00:50] <byte^> Ive had troubles with my sound before and I want to make sure that everything is fine
[00:50] <avdg> muh: tuts doesnt help
[00:50] <byte^> fryguy: For install, trying to backspace on an empty text box?
[00:50] <Kalmi> byte^, yeah... beeps are supposed to come out of the machine :)
[00:50] <byte^> instance*
[00:51] <byte^> I know beeps are supposed t ocome out of the machine, Iḿ just making sure that Ubuntu isnt similar to windows in the fact that it does not play a WAV file (etc) on an error
[00:51] <avdg> mah: tuts doesnt work (not any)
[00:51] <byte^> I just want to make sure that the sound is working okay
[00:51] <coz_> byte^,  ubuntu will play WAV  you need to also have  ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:51] <byte^> How can I do this?
[00:51] <coz_> byte^,   but it works fine here
[00:51] <heresjohnny> So someone sent me an encrypted email and their public key. I've imported their key and have the ascii encrypted email saved as a text file

[00:52] <byte^> is there a command utility that I can use to make sure the sound is working correctly? I forget.
[00:52] <fryguy> !work | heresjohnny
[00:52] <fryguy> byte^: does your system play sound?
[00:52] <heresjohnny> fryguy, thanks :)
[00:52] <chuck_> byte^,  open system/preferences/sound
[00:52] <racarter> http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/ --> I'm using this. now test sound works but I am not getting sound from youtube and stuff
[00:52] <heresjohnny> fryguy, gpg -d enc.txt does not properly decrypt the ascii armor encrypted text file
[00:52] <byte^> fryguy: It plays sound through flash videos (Youtube) but I haven been able to check any other methods
[00:52] <fryguy> racarter: install alsa-oss and configure firefox to use the aoss dsp
[00:53] <byte^> Iḿ just overly paranoid
[00:53] <racarter> fryguy: what?
[00:53] <byte^> WTF is wrong with this keyboard.... Gah.
[00:53] <racarter> fryguy: the device seems to work outside firefox
[00:53] <fryguy> racarter: install alsa-oss, then create a firefoxrc and configure FIREFOX-DSP to use aoss
[00:53] <mah> byte^: that's the wrong attitide.  you have to break it and then fix it
[00:53] <alex-weej> heresjohnny: you know, encrypted email should be supported by your mail client so you wouldn't have to go through this...
[00:53] <fryguy> racarter: you just said test works
[00:53] <byte^> mah: I suppose, I just like to double check I guess
[00:53] <fryguy> racarter: so which is it?
[00:53] <crazyhick> I'm looking to back-up a copy of my DVDs ... what's the best way to do this (app?)
[00:54] <fryguy> crazyhick: dd
[00:54] <byte^> From an ext3 file system, am I able to access (read/write) an ext4 system? or vice-versa? I forget how the compatibility goes.
[00:54] <heresjohnny> alex-weej, and my mail client is gmail with no outgoing port 143 access so that doesn't work
[00:54] <racarter> fryguy: i don't really understand... test sound works with the sound app in gnome, but it is not working in firefox...
[00:54] <fryguy> racarter: install alsa-oss and configure firefox to use the aoss dsp
[00:54] <joanki123> fryguy, that's not really true - a lot of dell computers have weird graphics cards
[00:54] <jc_> hi
[00:54] <Kalmi> byte^, both ways
[00:54] <joanki123> or sound cards
[00:54] <alex-weej> heresjohnny: no labs feature for it?
[00:54] <fryguy> joanki123: define "weird"  it's either intel, nvidia, or ati, and they all work in some level or another
[00:54] <Roasted> Printer Question - I have a printer on my Ubuntu machine. The policies were set up according to Ubuntu's web site. When the XP machine connects to it, it says access denied. According to the policy on my Ubuntu machine, it's allowable to everyone.  How can I fix this?
[00:55] <mrwes> crazyhick: use K9copy and burn the iso with K3b
[00:55] <racarter> fryguy: I don't know how to do those things, but this used to work earlier today
[00:55] <alex-weej> fryguy: why are you doing this to racarter? :(
[00:55] <fryguy> alex-weej: doing what? giving him the answer to his question?
[00:55] <joanki123> fryguy, to my knowledge the card had very little support
[00:55] <alex-weej> racarter: if you see the letters "oss", run a mile.
[00:55] <mrwes> !k9copy
[00:55] <heresjohnny> alex-weej, nope
[00:55] <racarter> i'm pretty sure this is not a driver issue..
[00:55] <fryguy> alex-weej: you realize that adobe flash is compiled to only use oss, right?
[00:55] <Kalmi> Roasted, I never needed to set up any policies....
[00:56] <Roasted> kalmi - its just the policy section where you hit a few check boxes.
[00:56] <crazyhick> cool
[00:56] <alex-weej> fryguy: no, it isn't. it uses ALSA since a very, very long time
[00:56] <Roasted> kalmi - How do you set up printers? Like howd you set up yours personally?
[00:56] <boss_mc> fryguy: except the new version which uses alsa, pulse and oss
[00:56] <bk> Whats a good OS for Ubuntu? Ive tried installing ClamAV but I get errors that I cannot fix.
[00:56] <fryguy> bk: ?
[00:56] <mrwes> crazyhick: k9copy will shrink a DVD9 to a DVD5
[00:56] <alex-weej> bk: by OS you mean... AV?
[00:56] <fryguy> bk: ubuntu is an OS
[00:56] <aaditya> bk: anti-virus?
[00:56] <bk> aaditya: yea sorry
[00:57] <bk> had my mind on os
[00:57] <bk> haha
[00:57] <aaditya> bk: Ubuntu catches no viruses..
[00:57] <alex-weej> why do you need AV?
[00:57] <aaditya> !virus | bk
[00:57] <alex-weej> common sense >>>>> any av software
[00:57] <bk> aaditya: I use windows machines in my network that I get files from.
[00:57] <heresjohnny> aaditya, you don't need an antivirus scanner for Linux. Unlike windows, Linux was built from a secure foundation
[00:57] <Kalmi> Roasted, um... install... make sure shared is ticked...
[00:58] <aaditya> heresjohnny: thanks for letting me know..
[00:58] <mrwes> bk: install ClamAV and and the GUI
[00:58] <heresjohnny> sorry about that :)
[00:58] <aaditya> bk: check the link that ubottu sent you
[00:58] <mrwes> !clamav
[00:58] <bk> mrwes: clamav is the one i get an error on, i installed it through apt-get, then uninstalled, and yea
[00:58] <mrwes> er
[00:58] <Roasted> kalmi - then what? What do you do on the XP machine to connect it?
[00:58] <mrwes> bk: what was the error? The one about the engine being outdated?
[00:58] <chaos2fu> hii everyone, how do i show which current graphic driver im using?
[00:59] <bk> mrwes: something like that, ive pastebind it, brb
[00:59] <aaditya> chaos2fu: lspci
[00:59] <fryguy> chaos2fu: /var/log/Xorg.log.0 will tell you
[00:59] <Kalmi> Roasted,  do you have samba installed?
[00:59] <eseven73> I get that error too, about clamav being outdated
[00:59] <byte^> If I choose not to install boot loader when install Ubuntu (I have another installation of it on another partition with GRUB), how do I know what to add to GRUB for me to boot it? The linux kernel entries in GRUB seem to  be really complex...
[00:59] <fryguy> aaditya: lspci lists device, not associated drivers
[00:59] <Sarai> chaos2fu: lspci | grep VGA
[00:59] <mrwes> bk: blah...it's just the engine that's outdated, it'll work fine and freshclam will update your AV defs
[00:59] <Roasted> kalmi - yep
[00:59] <aaditya> fryguy: ah i see
[00:59] <bk> mrwes: http://flotier.pastebin.com/m7bb54537
[00:59] <mrwes> bk: I run ClamAV on my sever and it says the same thing about the engine
[01:00] <fryguy> byte^: just copy another entry and change the location, it's pretty straightforward
[01:00] <byte^> Yeah I was just wondering.
[01:01] <bk> mrwes: is that my problem?
[01:01] <chaos2fu> ok im looking..
[01:01] <mrwes> bk: no. are you installing this from the command line?
[01:02] <mrwes> bk: you need to install clam-data, clamav-freshclam too
[01:03] <bk> i did that and got the same error mrwes
[01:05] <mrwes> bk: weird, seems it init.d can't start the fresh-clam: #

[01:05] <MattCampbell> Which is the preferred command-line APT front-end now:  apt-get or aptitude?
[01:05] <Pici> MattCampbell: apt-get
[01:06] <boss_mc> MattCampbell: whichever you are comfortable with, don't mix them any more than you have to though
[01:06] <Pici> From what I've been told, there is more developer focus on apt-get than on aptitude
[01:06] <judgen> Would it be a safe bet to say that there is only one 300mb wireless cip for linux.
[01:06] <judgen> ralink?
[01:06] <mrwes> bk: you're trying to install ClamAV from the command line, on a server install or desktop?
[01:06] <aaditya> !apt-get
[01:07] <barqers> How can I get my ubuntu computer connected to my windows network?
[01:07] <boss_mc> MattCampbell: remember that apt-get has super cow powers
[01:07] <Bob_Dole> I wasn't even aware there was a 300MB wireless chip o_o
[01:07] <aaditya> ubottu: tell barqers about samba
[01:07] <judgen> Is ther any other wireless chipset supported in linux able to do 300mbit than ralink?

[01:08] <elli222> \quit
[01:08] <MattCampbell> Is automatic removal of automatically installed packages a feature of aptitude or APT itself?
[01:08] <bk> mrwes: desktop
[01:08] <Roasted> Is there any way I can tag a windows printer driver to a printer through samba so when the person connects to it they auto-download the windows driver for it?
[01:08] <bk> mrwes: laptop actuall
[01:08] <bk> y
[01:08] <mrwes> bk: use synaptic manager instead of command line
[01:08] <boss_mc> MattCampbell: aptitude does it on the fly, apt-get has to have autoremove called
[01:09] <bk> mrwes: i did, got the same exact error
[01:10] <Bob_Dole> if there was a SPARC port of ubuntu, that'd be nice.. I could run Ubuntu on everything of mine, which in the near future will include PowerPC and ARM..and currently includes SPARC and x86.
[01:10] <aaditya> MattCampbell: automatic removal of which packages? like dependencies no longer required?
[01:10] <mrwes> bk: did you try a complete removal and re-installation?
[01:10] <aaditya> !sparc | Bob_Dole
[01:10] <bk> mrwes: yes, and i made sure all processes were stopped for clam as well
[01:10] <aaditya> ouch, sparc docs are missing

[01:12] <Kalmi> neoTheCat, freenx to local session is slow

[01:15] <Bob_Dole> Hmm, so I need a newer model SPARC? I got a Sun Ultra 5, with an UltraSPARCIIi, 400mhz.
[01:15] <nouri> Hello.  I was hoping for the Gnome drawer applet to be able to hold Windows, so that they disappear from the Window list.  I have some apps that I'm permanently running, and that I don't want to show up in any desktop.
[01:15] <p1oooop> avdg: ahh, that totally makes sense
[01:15] <bk> mrwes: might need to
[01:15] <Bob_Dole> also aaditya, thanks.
[01:15] <mrwes> bk: it's one way to get a response, maybe there is a work a round
[01:15] <mrwes> I would

[01:16] <avdg> any guide to that?
[01:17] <barqers> is samba only command line? or is there a gui for it?
[01:17] <deeb0> fryguy: You mean when I go to Places > Computer ?
[01:17] <aaditya> barqers: there's a nautilus extension that'll allow you to share folders from GUI

[01:21] <fryguy> MrDarkUser: it's probably on by default
[01:21] <jaypur_mb> i'm having some little problems releated to games on ubuntu, can someone help me? the problem is that when i start some games, it keeps "going down" like its pressed my down key....
[01:21] <deeb0> ploooop:  I chose the option to install in Windows and not full installation
[01:21] <p1oooop> avdg: using ubuntu live cd or windows?
[01:21] <reqon> MrDarkUser, nope but i cant pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time
[01:21] <deeb0> oh
[01:21] <permanewb> urgh. I think I'm screwed. I'm upgrading to 9.04. I have a KVM switch. Now it's stopped recognizing the keyboard and it's prompting me... syslog shows the kernel noticing when I've unplugged and plugged in the keyboard, but it's not getting picked up by X, I guess... Any thoughts on how to recover?
[01:21] <p1oooop> deeb0: LOL
[01:21] <Nrbelex> Hi, I just added openSUSE to my computer as a dual-boot, but openSUSE overwrote GRUB and I can no longer boot into Ubuntu, how can I reinstall GRUB with options for Ubuntu and openSUSE?
[01:21] <p1oooop> deeb0: I'll try ot answer
[01:21] <deeb0> ploooop: lol, thanks.
[01:22] <MrDarkUser> fryguy: yeah, I need it off, I don't understand why it's on by default
[01:22] <p1oooop> deeb0: so, what exactly is the problem?
[01:22] <deeb0> ploooop:  I just want to be able to access my windows files from ubuntu
[01:22] <barqers> aaditya: how do i access nautilus share?
[01:22] <p1oooop> deeb0: ahh
[01:22] <p1oooop> deeb0: you wanna mount it...
[01:22] <aaditya> right click on a directory and hit "Sharing options"
[01:22] <aaditya> barqers: right click on a directory and hit "Sharing options"
[01:23] <graelin> Nrbelex: Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and the run grub --install-partition I think.. probly wanna check that though
[01:23] <p1oooop> deeb0: have you tried mounting?
[01:23] <aaditya> !ntfs | deeb0
[01:24] <hackel> Does anyone know of a way to add a login script for NetworkManager? (e.g. that will run when logging onto certain access points that require you to log in to use the connection)
[01:25] <Nrbelex> graelin, where is /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[01:25] <fryguy> Nrbelex: it's right where you just said, that's a filesystem location
[01:25] <Roasted> Okay, I still don't get this. I have samba installed, along with my printer installed and published in CUPS in Ubuntu. Now, what do I do on the windows XP machine to connect it to the printer on my Ubuntu machine?
[01:25] <barqers> aaditya: And do I have to set this up to see onto my windows network? my network is: "Franco Home"
[01:25] <Nrbelex> fryguy, on the Ubuntu root partition?
[01:25] <p1oooop> hackel: you tried compiling a DIY version?
[01:25] <fryguy> Roasted: add the printer to /etc/samba/smb.conf and reload the configuration
[01:25] <fryguy> Nrbelex: yes
[01:26] <hackel> p1oooop: No, I was hoping it could be done without programming the functionality myself!
[01:26] <permanewb> is there maybe a utility that I can run on my X server to click the button that I need to click (my keyboard isn't responding in X, but I can launch X apps.
[01:26] <aaditya> barqers: is that a domain or a workgroup?
[01:26] <p1oooop> hackel: yea, always best not to recompile your own :D
[01:26] <Roasted> fryguy - I wasnt aware I needed to actually add the printer to my smb.conf... I was told all I need to do is share it through CUPS and I'm done. I just don't know what to do with the Windows side of it as far as connecting.
[01:27] <fryguy> Roasted: if it's shared correctly, you connect to it like you connect to any other share
[01:27] <p1oooop> hackel: you want the script to do what senstially?
[01:27] <p1oooop> hackel: hack someone's connection :D
[01:27] <deeb0> ubottu:  That's the thing I can't even see my windows files... ntfs-3g doesn't allow me to check internal write support
[01:27] <Roasted> fryguy - meaning what? start - run - \\ubuntuserver, right click my printer, hit connect?
[01:27] <fryguy> Roasted: yes
[01:27] <p1oooop> deeb0: ubottu is a bot
[01:27] <deeb0> lol
[01:27] <deeb0> oops
[01:28] <deeb0> i meant to say ploooop
[01:28] <p1oooop> deeb0: LOL, happened to me
[01:28] <justfil> How can I hide the File, edit, view... menu in opera?
[01:28] <stroyan> Roasted:  sudo cupsaddsmb -a
[01:28] <Roasted> fryguy - That works, EXCEPT I get access denied - unable to connect on the windows machine.
[01:28] <permanewb> if I get a ps2 keyboard, will it be recognized as soon as it's plugged in, i.e. without rebooting? (I'm running 8.10 and am in the middle of upgrading to 9.04)
[01:28] <barqers> aaditya: it's a workgroup
[01:28] <fryguy> Roasted: so then make sure you are in the same workgroup/domain and are passing along the correct credentials
[01:28] <p1oooop> deeb0: you tried force mounting... not recommended but it works
[01:29] <Kalmi> permanewb, no... the BIOS disables the PS2 port if there is nothing plugged when bootinh
[01:29] <hackel> p1oooop: No, what are you talking about?  I need to log in to the wireless network I use all the time, I wrote a script to do that, and I want NetworkManager to run it when I connect to that particular ESSID but before it marks the connection as active.
[01:29] <fryguy> Kalmi: no
[01:29] <permanewb> Kalmi thaks
[01:29] <Kalmi> fryguy, no?
[01:29] <fryguy> Kalmi: no
[01:29] <Kalmi> fryguy, as you wish
[01:30] <Gourlis> ATI Radeon X1250 not working on Ubuntu 9.04 -  Anyone who has the same problem with me? Or anyone who solved that?
[01:30] <aaditya> barqers: it should work right away. for more info, check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[01:30] <nonewmsgs> i cannot get sound with dvds since my intrepid upgrade
[01:30] <fryguy> !work | Gourlis
[01:30] <deeb0> ploooop: Well I just went to the link posted by the bot and I tried the pysdm package... the thing is my ubuntu is installed in the same partition as my windows
[01:30] <Roasted> fryguy - Everything is in the workgroup - workgroup and I am connected right now just fine... I am in my share browsing, so I have no idea why I have access denied to the printer. Hence my ongoing confusion.
[01:30] <p1oooop> hackel: ahh, okay.... kind of an extra security feature right?
[01:30] <fryguy> Roasted: probably because you shared the printer using a different mechanism
[01:30] <deeb0> ploooop:  I didn't do full installation.... I did "Install in Windows" option
[01:30] <hackel> p1oooop: yes, this is very common on corporate wifi networks, and services like boingo, t-mobile, etc.
[01:30] <Gourlis> fryguy, and?
[01:30] <Kalmi> deeb0, oh... that's the problem...
[01:31] <Roasted> fryguy - I just followed the directions. No idea why it wouldn't work...
[01:31] <barqers> aaditya: But where do I go to access it? like i've clicked Places>Network>Windows Network, but i get an error. I can't seem to find FRANCOHOME
[01:31] <deeb0> I figured
[01:31] <p1oooop> hackel: yup... kinda annoying dont you think?
[01:31] <deeb0> Kalmi: So it's not possible huh?
[01:31] <Gourlis> fryguy, I know my ATI isn't supported on Ubuntu 9.04 so am asking if anyone found anything about it.
[01:31] <Roasted> fryguy - just rebooted the XP computer and now it says ready... hmmm??
[01:31] <fryguy> Gourlis: ati is supported just fine
[01:31] <hackel> p1oooop: Yes, very!
[01:31] <Roasted> fryguy - It seems to be hanging up when I try to actually print though. Great...
[01:31] <aaditya> barqers: that's how you'd access it. not sure what's wrong with it. i'd recommend using ssh/sftp on windows machines for file sharing though
[01:31] <Gourlis> fryguy, no it's not. At least for my model.
[01:32] <p1oooop> Gourlis: yea, you think.... it freaking kills my computer all the time
[01:32] <Kalmi> deeb0, i don't think it is... you could force it, but that is probably very unsafe...
[01:32] <Gourlis> ploooop, same problems here.
[01:32] <fryguy> Gourlis: the ati, or radeon driver will work just fine with any ati card
[01:32] <p1oooop> hackel: I'm guessing maybe as a last resource
[01:32] <deeb0> Kalmi: unsafe as in?
[01:32] <barqers> aaditya: Okay, thank you!
[01:32] <Gourlis> fryguy, for the ATI Radeon X1250 no drivers found for Ubuntu 9.04
[01:32] <p1oooop> hackel: maybe meaning DIY compiling...
[01:32] <aaditya> barqers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles
[01:32] <fryguy> Gourlis: so use the ati or radeon driver
[01:32] <Bob_Dole> Well then, Ubuntu isn't going to my choice for SPARC, looks like 6.06 is the last release for SPARC, the install guide assumes a headless server, etc. I've got a workstation, and wouldn't want to use anything earlier than 8.04 :(
[01:33] <Kalmi> deeb0, might damage your windows file system
[01:33] <deeb0> grrr
[01:33] <Kalmi> :)
[01:33] <Gourlis> fryguy, u didn't understand
[01:33] <deeb0> Why me?
[01:33] <deeb0> lol
[01:33] <p1oooop> deeb0: yup...
[01:33] <permanewb> .. any suggestions? My usb keyboard has stopped being recognized, and I'm being prompted to save or replace a config file, in the middle of upgrading to 9.04... I've I turn of the computer, it's not going to just continue the installation when it restarts, I supposed.
[01:33] <deeb0> Have you guys seen it happen often?
[01:33] <fryguy> Gourlis: i understand just fine.  you aren't trying to use the ati or radeon driver
[01:33] <Gourlis> fryguy, how should I try? From where?
[01:33] <Kalmi> deeb0, a real install (not wubi) can safely read/write files on a windows partition
[01:33] <fryguy> Gourlis: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:33] <p1oooop> deeb0: I haven't had it damage my filesystem thankgod, but I've heard of people with mutilated filesystems
[01:33] <hackel> p1oooop: Well it's not as if it's just a matter of re-compiling, I would have to write the code too, that's the hard part!  If it annoys me enough, I might consider doing it...
[01:34] <Gourlis> fryguy, by typing that into Terminal ?
[01:34] <deeb0> blah... so I guess I have to uninstall and then make a dual boot of full ubuntu huh
[01:34] <chuck_> Gourlis, ati dropped support for a lot of drivers you might have to use the open source driver
[01:34] <justfil> How can I hide the File, edit, view... menu in opera?
[01:34] <fryguy> Gourlis: it's a configuration file for x11, edit it to use the ati or radeon driver and see if that works
[01:34] <Gourlis> chuck_, i know but i don't know how to use the open source drivers.
[01:34] <fryguy> chuck_: which is the 'ati' driver, which is what i've been telling him to use
[01:34] <Gourlis> fryguy, ok i'll let u know.
[01:35] <fryguy> Gourlis: try the first couple of links from this: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+use+open+source+ati+driver&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a
[01:35] <deeb0> Ok well thanks for the help everyone, I guess I gotta reinstall Ubuntu
[01:35] <deeb0> Take it easy all.
[01:36] <Kalmi> deeb0, yep
[01:36] <Gourlis> fryguy, alright but how to go to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" ? I mean what to type infront of it in terminal..
[01:36] <fryguy> Gourlis: it's a plain text file, edit it with whatever text editor you prefer
[01:36] <Gourlis> fryguy, ok i just dont know how to get there :P am newbie
[01:37] <publius> gourlis, i have an old ati card on my laptop, and i had to roll back my ati driver to make it work with 8.10
[01:37] <fryguy> Gourlis: it's a filesystem location, just like any other file on your system
[01:37] <p1oooop> Gourlis: you can try gksudo nautilus
[01:37] <fryguy> Gourlis: use cd to navigate through directories in terminal, or use nautilus to get to it
[01:38] <nightdrever> can someone help me install babaschess through wine

[01:41] <syntax\> p1oooop: how can i do that sir?
[01:41] <byte^> What is the preferred package to access an NTFS? partition? Is that ntfs-3g?
[01:41] <fryguy> byte^: yes
[01:41] <aaditya> "texas hold em poker" is a flash issue?

[01:41] <p1oooop> syntax\: sir?
[01:41] <byte^> Okay, thank you. You've been invaluable, by the way.
[01:41] <p1oooop> syntax\: I think we better move to #flash
[01:41] <syntax\> p1oooop: ang expression :)
[01:42] <aaditya> p1oooop: come on, he's just being nice to you
[01:42] <Bob_Dole> There is some bug in adobe flash that is present on linux and not elsewhere dealing with the network
[01:42] <aaditya> i've heard of the problem with that flash game in this channel before
[01:43] <p1oooop> aaditya: I know :D I meant that in a LOL way... no offnes
[01:43] <aaditya> p1oooop: haha ok
[01:43] <p1oooop> syntax\: you can reinstalll in terminal
[01:44] <syntax\> im looking at it p1oooop
[01:45] <p1oooop> syntax\: great :D, tell me how it goes :)
[01:45] <byte^> Another question: Is resizing one file system safer than another type? For example, GParted--I would think--would know how to resize ext3 better than NTFS (because it's proprietary)... Would this mean less chance of errors? I know the general "back everything up" train of thought, I'm just wondering though.
[01:45] <Bob_Dole> Next order of business: Get an ARM or PPC based system.
[01:45] <Gourlis> i like when on working on ubuntu ;D my fan works with cool air ;p
[01:45] <p1oooop> Gourlis: LOL :D
[01:45] <fryguy> byte^: they are going to be equal
[01:46] <byte^> Okay.
[01:46] <p1oooop> Gourlis: probably because of the better-than-windows termina

[01:47] <p1oooop> FloodBot2: HI
[01:47] <Bob_Dole> I have no idea what this system would run like with windows on it, never been installed, never will be installed while I own it.
[01:48] <p1oooop> Gourlis: not too sure, I dont have all the cards for use and compare. I wish I did :D
[01:48] <Gourlis> ploooop, am stuck :P
[01:49] <Gourlis> brb
[01:49] <p1oooop> Gourlis: yea, happens to all of us :D
[01:49] <Bob_Dole> I got one of those in my iMac
[01:49] <Bob_Dole> the X1600 or 1650, not sure which right now
[01:50] <p1oooop> Bob_Dole: yea, thats the most upsetting thing, it works with mac but not ubuntu
[01:51] <Bob_Dole> It doesn't? I was considering transitioning that system over to ubuntu :(
[01:51] <mr_step> can anyone tell me, when you share a folder using the gui, where it saves the settings?  it's a samba share, but the settings aren't saved in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[01:51] <p1oooop> mr_step: probably .samba in your home folder
[01:51] <Jamed> Bob_Dole: The proprietary driver for the X1600 does not work in 9.04
[01:52] <Bob_Dole> Jamed, Ah, works in 8.04 though I hope?
[01:52] <permanewb> ...can I maybe kill the installer while it's prompting to replace a config file, and then run the installer again displaying on the x server on my other computer to finish? Or, am I in an unrecoverable situation with no keyboard responding?
[01:52] <Jamed> Bob_Dole: yes
[01:52] <p1oooop> Jamed: nothing works in the newer :(
[01:52] <mr_step> p1oooop: there isn't a .samba folder.  i've tried grepping my home directory for the text of the share and everything.  it feels like i'ts a system wide setting, just not in the smb.conf file
[01:52] <p1oooop> mr_step: huh, then IDK...
[01:53] <Bob_Dole> Jamed, alright. 8.04 is fine by me. First ubuntu release I was happy with, and what prompted me to stick with 1 distro and not use Windows or OS X anymore.
[01:53] <mr_step> p1oooop: thanks though.  i've been asking in this chatroom for days now... nobody seems to know :(
[01:53] <fryguy> mr_step: why not just create the share the normal way
[01:53] <fryguy> using smb.conf
[01:53] <fryguy> instead of trying to figure out a non-standard way of doing it
[01:54] <Jamed> Bob_Dole: In 8.10 it works too
[01:54] <p1oooop> mr_step: yea... wanna get the samba developers :D
[01:54] <Bob_Dole> Jamed, how much longer is 8.10 supported?
[01:54] <josefig> Hello, i've got a problem, i have ubuntu and windows vista installed in my laptop, i can use my wi-fi connection without any problem when i'm on windows vista but when i try to do it on ubuntu it tries to connect but nothing happened, the hardware is working properly but i don't know what's wrong, could u help me?
[01:54] <Jamed> Bob_Dole: dont know
[01:55] <mr_step> fryguy:  i have done.  i just like to know how stuff works :S
[01:55] <mr_step> p1ooop: yeah, i probably should ask them or the gnome people.
[01:55] <Bob_Dole> Jamed, I know 8.04 is supposed to be supported 3 years, and I think 8.10 for 18 months.
[01:55] <syntax\> p1oooop: its still the same. :|
[01:56] <Bob_Dole> Oh..right, I gotta find me a spare monitor before it gets to be pitch black out.
[01:56] <Jamed> Bob_Dole: wikipedia says 8.10 is supported until april 2010
[01:56] <p1oooop> syntax\: huh, lemme chack if it works in 9.04 cause it just came out a month ago
[01:57] <binskipy2u> any good reason , anyone in here did NOT switch to 9.04 and is running 8.10?
[01:57] <yasasvy> josefig: are you using network manager to connect to your wi-fi networks?
[01:57] <Gourlis> fryguy, my xorg.conf is empty. Like, nothing detected.
[01:57] <fryguy> josefig: try using iwconfig manually, or switch to wicd
[01:58] <fryguy> Gourlis: yah, you'll need to make one from scratch
[01:58] <Bob_Dole> binskipy2u, I switched, but I'm running a mixed environment here.. 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04..soon to add another 8.04. Reasons for staying on 8.10 are graphics card support, lots of things got dropped in 9.04.
[01:58] <Gourlis> fryguy, sorry if am asking too much :P but i don't know what to write there.
[01:58] <MattCampbell> What is the most popular BitTorrent tracker program available on Ubuntu?
[01:58] <binskipy2u> just wondering
[01:59] <fryguy> Gourlis: man xorg.conf
[01:59] <MattCampbell> Transmission doesn't have a builtin tracker does it?
[01:59] <binskipy2u> transmission
[01:59] <fryguy> Gourlis: it's well documented
[01:59] <Gourlis> fryguy, alright thanks.
[01:59] <fryguy> binskipy2u: i just stopped using ubuntu altogether
[01:59] <fryguy> MattCampbell: ?
[01:59] <binskipy2u> is it just me or does 9.04 just not "FEEL" as comfy, as 8.10?
[01:59] <binskipy2u> whatcha use fryguy?
[01:59] <p1oooop> syntax\: extremely slow here :D
[01:59] <fryguy> MattCampbell: no, transmission is a bittorrent client, like utorrent or azureus
[01:59] <mdg> hello
[02:00] <fryguy> binskipy2u: freebsd, and a handcompiled linux setup one one machine, and archlinux everywhere else
[02:00] <syntax\> p1oooop: can't see rooms nor friends nor servers
[02:00] <mdg> I have a fluxbox problem - some of the menu items won't reload
[02:00] <MattCampbell> So what do I use if I want to run a tracker?
[02:00] <fryguy> mdg: #fluxbox
[02:00] <MattCampbell> bittorrent (version 3)?
[02:00] <fryguy> MattCampbell: look at the bittorrent package
[02:01] <binskipy2u> i tried 3 different arch install documentations, easy, beginners and a custom one made
[02:01] <binskipy2u> i think i'm too stupid for arch
[02:01] <binskipy2u> cant get passed Xorg
[02:01] <binskipy2u> and my computer's 9 months old

[02:03] <Kingsy101> hmmm actually the icon isnt there anymore.. I re-started and now its gone... any ideas how you set an icon properly?
[02:03] <p1oooop> syntax\: if you really want to, you can get wine
[02:03] <Jamed> Kingsy101: i had that problem too, after restarting the icon was shown
[02:03] <orochi_> Anyone else find the glibc/eglibc split somewhat disconcerting? ;> Which will future versions of Ubuntu use?
[02:03] <p1oooop> syntax\: but I have to warn you, it's kinda slow
[02:03] <p1oooop> syntax\: kinda as slow as windows is :D
[02:03] <Kingsy101> hmmm re-starting for me does the oppisit
[02:03] <Kingsy101> e
[02:03] <Bob_Dole> Yeah, because of that bug in flash I run FireFox and Flash under WINE to play that game
[02:04] <fryguy> orochi_: i don't really find it disconcerting
[02:04] <zenxr> Bob_Dole: why let age be a judgement on intelligence?
[02:04] <p1oooop> Bob_Dole: yea, kinda sad right?
[02:04] <orochi_> fryguy: Well, from a developer's standpoint I suppose it could be a problem, having to support two different versions of the core c libraries :>
[02:04] <Jamed> Kingsy101: then what about changing the icon and then set it back to the original?
[02:04] <Bob_Dole> p1oooop, yeah
[02:04] <syntax\> what do you mean after restarting p1oooop ?
[02:04] <B0b> i need help i just installed ubuntu the first time and i keep getting "grub loading error 18 " and it just gets stuck there
[02:05] <byte^> The ~ when prefixed to a file path points to the user dir, right?
[02:05] <p1oooop> syntax\: huh, i didnt say anything about restarting?
[02:05] <Kingsy101> Jamed - do you have to re-start every time you change the icon?
[02:05] <fryguy> orochi_: ?
[02:05] <p1oooop> syntax\: sudo apt-get install wine
[02:05] <Jamed> Kingsy101: no
[02:05] <Kingsy101> alright thanks
[02:05] <syntax\> p1oooop: lol i saw it already sorry :D
[02:05] <fryguy> byte^: yes
[02:05] <Kingsy101> I will try that now
[02:05] <byte^> huh....
[02:05] <fryguy> orochi_: the distros don't maintain the c libs
[02:05] <p1oooop> syntax\: O wait, LOL you need to add the repositories and all that stuff
[02:05] <fryguy> orochi_: ulrich drepper is paid by redhat to lead support for glibc
[02:05] <p1oooop> :D
[02:06] <byte^> So ~.conkyrc is at the /home/user/ dir, then.
[02:06] <jrkilde> can anyone help me mount my external hard drive. Since upgrade to 9.04, I cannot mount external hd
[02:06] <orochi_> fryguy: Hmm, I see
[02:06] <byte^> My problem is, I mounted another partition of linux and when I browse to the /home/user/ dir, nothing seems to be there...
[02:06] <p1oooop> jrkilde: you try the FORCE method?
[02:06] <fryguy> byte^: where did you mount it
[02:06] <byte^> /mnt/dir/
[02:07] <jamiejackson> Floppy/PCMCIA NIC Installation?: i've got a laptop that is custom suited to being very difficult to install linux on: no cdrom, no onboard nic, bios doesn't allow boot from usb. it does have windows installed, a floppy, and a PCMCIA nic. this is a tough combo. does anyone know of an installation method that involves pcmcia nic and/or floppy?
[02:07] <histo> byte^: files with a leading . are hidden files.
[02:07] <fryguy> byte^: and what is the problem?
[02:07] <byte^> /mnt/alpha specifically
[02:07] <jrkilde> plooooop: I do not know how to force
[02:07] <histo> byte^: ls -la /mnt/alpha
[02:07] <byte^> histo: I know, I have enabled th eviewing of hidden files
[02:07] <fryguy> byte^: and there is nothing in /mnt/alpha/home/user?
[02:07] <Kingsy101> Jamed - does the icon manager in ubuntu recognise .xpm files? cos thats the file format of the icon I am trying to assign
[02:07] <byte^> fryguy: There are some weird folders that disappear after a second
[02:07] <byte^> .Private
[02:07] <B0b>  i need help i just installed ubuntu the first time and i keep getting "grub loading error 18 " and it just gets stuck there
[02:07] <byte^> and something else
[02:08] <p1oooop> byte^: thats just the programs working
[02:08] <p1oooop> byte^: dont worry aobut those
[02:08] <byte^> What?
[02:08] <Bob_Dole> LimePC with its 8GB of FLASH storage and 3 core PPC based "motherboard on chip"(PPC core, GPU core, sound core) for ~300 USD..or Beagleboard with its 600mhz ARM core, GPU core, and DSP for ~200USD?
[02:08] <byte^> Well I should have a .conkyrc file there, right?
[02:08] <Jamed> Kingsy101: i think it can handle pbg and jpeg only, but maybe im wrong
[02:08] <Jamed> png*
[02:08] <fryguy> B0b: have you looked at any of the wiki or forum or many google entries on the topic yet?
[02:08] <byte^> in the ~ dir
[02:08] <histo> byte^: if you had one before. If you just ran it with the default config no you won.t
[02:08] <B0b> yes but didnt help me
[02:08] <byte^> histo: I've had one on that partition.
[02:08] <TannerS> guys can you have 2 partitions of two linux dist?
[02:08] <fryguy> TannerS: yes
[02:09] <Kingsy101> hhmmmm I don't know how I would go about converting.. anyone got an idea?
[02:09] <thiebaude> B0b, are you dual booting
[02:09] <histo> byte^: then it should be in that home folder.
[02:09] <Bob_Dole> ARM is officially supported, PPC isn't..so..hmm.
[02:09] <byte^> I have two partitions of this, one is clean and the other is used...
[02:09] <byte^> I want to transplant the used files (the ones I've customized) to the clean one
[02:09] <Jamed> Kingsy101: open the file with gimp and then save it in adifferent fromat
[02:09] <TannerS> fryguy, you sure? i tryed makign 2 partitions of ubuntu and all it did was complelty jack up my older one losting all ym files
[02:09] <B0b> no i formated my drive and installed ubuntu
[02:09] <byte^> there is nothing there...
[02:09] <histo>  byte^ transfer your old home.
[02:09] <histo> byte^: then you didn't mount it properly
[02:09] <fryguy> byte^: cp -a /mnt/alpha/home/user/* /home/user
[02:09] <byte^> Well.
[02:10] <fryguy> TannerS: yes i'm sure
[02:10] <byte^> I'm not quite sure if I want to do that.... I might bork something
[02:10] <byte^> On the old install, sound didn't work and I had a few other problems
[02:10] <fryguy> TannerS: you can install as many operating systems on your machine as your bootloader is capable of finding
[02:10] <B0b> in the forum it says i have to change hdd to normal but i dindt find in my bios
[02:10] <TannerS> fryguy, then how when i did it the new ubuntu was fine but old one wont even load? makes me scared to try it again
[02:10] <byte^> byte@crunchbang:/mnt/alpha/home/byte$ ls
[02:10] <byte^> Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop  README.txt
[02:10] <B0b> im using amibios 2001
[02:11] <byte^> Only two files, it would seem, in that user's folder.
[02:11] <fryguy> TannerS: just add an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst for the other install
[02:11] <histo> byte^: ls -la
[02:11] <byte^> Oh.
[02:11] <jzhou> is openoffice.org-gtk part of go-oo or ooo?
[02:11] <byte^> Oh.
[02:11] <byte^> Oh.
[02:11] <FloodBot2> byte^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:11] <TannerS> fryguy before or after installing a new one?
[02:11] <fryguy> TannerS: after
[02:11] <byte^> Okay, sorry for the flood.
[02:11] <jzhou> or is it just third party plugin?
[02:12] <byte^> Linux must've encrypted my files.
[02:12] <p1oooop> FloodBot2: you're funny
[02:12] <byte^> :|
[02:12] <TannerS> fryguy thansk ill try that
[02:12] <byte^> Can't believe I didn't see that.
[02:12] <p1oooop> lol
[02:12] <fryguy> byte^: ?
[02:12] <hogan> hello
[02:12] <p1oooop> imma mess around with the bot :D
[02:12] <sven__> Running stable version of Ubuntu 9.10. trying to install grafix drivers for ATI Raedon 9600. the manual suggests xorg-driver-fglrx, but it isn't working properly still
[02:12] <gartral> how do i kick off a ssh connection without logging my local login off?
[02:12] <p1oooop> ubottu: hi
[02:12] <fryguy> !work | sven__
[02:13] <byte^> fryguy: Well, technically speaking, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 then used a Crunchbang script to install that variation. I believe--if I recall correctly--that I set my user's folder to encrypt itself.
[02:13] <thiebaude> B0b, i found this i hope it helps, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/grub-loading-please-wait......error-18-343280/
[02:13] <byte^> Which would make sense, because I have a .Private folder of encrypted hashes.
[02:13] <p1oooop> !wine | p1oooop
[02:13] <byte^> So... Yeah.
[02:13] <ayo> what file compare tools are there on ubuntu?
[02:13] <byte^> Just need to figure out how to unencrypt it from here.
[02:13] <fryguy> ayo: diff should cover all of your text needs, as for binary diffs, that's usally filespec specific
[02:13] <fryguy> byte^: it's probably encfs
[02:14] <byte^> yep
[02:14] <LoveBandi> how can I load windows back on the hard disk after having ubuntu on ? Windows doesn't seem to want to recognize the disk
[02:14] <p1oooop> !help | p1oooop
[02:14] <byte^> ecryptfs-mount-private
[02:14] <Iceman_B> gartral: try the logout command?
[02:14] <fryguy> LoveBandi: ubuntu doesn't do anything to change how windows installer will detect the drive
[02:14] <ayo> fryguy: graphic file compare tool?
[02:14] <p1oooop> ubottu: thanks
[02:14] <gartral> Iceman_B: will it log out my gdm session too?
[02:14] <fryguy> ayo: for what files, and what do you want to compare
[02:15] <ayo> simple c source file
[02:15] <p1oooop> ubottu: sure you are
[02:15] <fryguy> gartral: there is no such thing as a "gdm session"
[02:15] <fryguy> ayo: diff, meld, vimdiff
[02:15] <byte^> How do I run something from a directory, in CLI?
[02:15] <fryguy> byte^: ./commandname
[02:15] <gartral> i hyave a local gui, and a remote ssh connection... how do i close the remote connection from the local side (my box)
[02:15] <Iceman_B> gartral: I dont know what gdm is, but if you started that on the remote machine, then probably yes
[02:15] <byte^> uh...
[02:16] <fryguy> byte^: make sure it has execute permission (chmod +x)
[02:16] <byte^> Oh, okay.
[02:16] <p1oooop> ubottu: ubuntu
[02:16] <ayo> fryguy: how to install vimdiff?
[02:16] <Kingsy101> jamed - thanks.. converting it to a .ico file worked fine :)
[02:16] <byte^> Eh... chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink `Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop'
[02:16] <histo> Ugh... Need a little help I have winbind running on my lan all machines can ping the server by hostname but not each other
[02:16] <fryguy> ayo: it's probably installed by default, or apt-cache search vim and pick the one you want and then install that
[02:16] <Jamed> Kingsy101: np
[02:16] <histo> I've edited all their nsswitch files so they hit wins before dns etc...
[02:16] <p1oooop> ubottu: swap
[02:17] <Kingsy101> Jamed - can you run .exe files through wine?
[02:17] <eseven73> !msgthebot > p1oooop
[02:17] <gartral> all i want to do is close the dangling ssh connection i left up at work...
[02:17] <Kingsy101> probably a stupid question I guess
[02:17] <LoveBandi> i have a problem ubuntu will not finish loading
[02:17] <fryguy> Kingsy101: use wine
[02:18] <Jamed> Kingsy101: wine is made for running .exe files
[02:18] <Bob_Dole> A pentium3 @ 600mhz with 256MB of RAM and no swap trying to do updates..that's a load of fun.
[02:18] <alex_> lol
[02:18] <JackGray> gartral: as in.. you sshd outwards from work and want to close that connection from home?
[02:18] <Kingsy101> cool thanks
[02:18] <Jamed> Kingsy101: but not every windows program works fine with wine
[02:18] <Kingsy101> yea np
[02:18] <Kingsy101> its cool
[02:18] <LoveBandi> i have ubuntu disk cant lod
[02:19] <Gourlis> ploooop, fryguy, thank you guys! ati open source it's a bit slower but works perfect for me.
[02:19] <alex_> I just downloaded jaunty... and when I go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers it isn't finding my wireless card or my graphics card that came up there in 8.10... I can't use wireless because of this... any ideas/
[02:19] <gartral> JackGray: sshd is the server, which is runing on the box im in front of, and i have a connection from my work terminal, which i want to close without going 22 miles back to work
[02:20] <fryguy> alex_: are you sure the wireless driver isn't already loaded
[02:20] <alex_> fryguy: I can't get onto any wireless networks, so I assume it isn't.
[02:20] <fryguy> gartral: use w, find the shell that's running, and kill that ssh session using the kill command
[02:20] <fryguy> alex_: is it listed in ifconfig and/or iwconfig?
[02:20] <LoveBandi> how do i load ubuntu
[02:20] <RHorse> alex_ iwconfig results?
[02:21] <crazyhick> alex_   I had the same problem but I ran some update and rebooted ... then it came up in there
[02:21] <fryguy> LoveBandi: www.ubuntu.com, download iso, burn iso to disc, boot from it, and it walks you through it
[02:21] <p1oooop> Gourlis: NP
[02:21] <gartral> fryguy: w shows no PIDs
[02:21] <aaditya> LoveBandi: is it a LiveCD?
[02:21] <alex_> fryguy and RHorse: It shows IEEE 802.11bg ESSID under wlan0
[02:21] <JackGray> gartral: well.. either restart the computer in front of you... or ssh into your work cpu and kill the ssh process
[02:21] <fryguy> alex_: wlan0 = the driver is loaded
[02:22] <alex_> fryguy and RHorse: But I can't access any networks still?
[02:22] <JackGray> gartral: or restart the ssh service on the computer in front of you... lots of options..
[02:22] <fryguy> alex_: try using iwconfig instead of networkmanager, or wicd
[02:22] <gartral> JackGray: its work... that system is windows vista..
[02:22] <LoveBandi> i get to  persent  to download ubuntu then it stops
[02:22] <RHorse> alex_ wep?
[02:22] <Gourlis> ploooop, in a website it says "if you see SGI then your drivers work fine" :P
[02:22] <Gourlis> I CAN SEE IT
[02:22] <_dennister> Dr_Willis: do you have a few minutes to help me pls? i believe you recommended apt-proxy to me a while back, now I really need it, but I'm having real trouble with the backends...:(
[02:22] <JackGray> gartral: so kill the ssh server on the cpu in front of you and restart it
[02:23] <alex_> RHorse: Not familiar with "wep" I assume wireless something point?
[02:23] <gartral> alex_: Wired Equivilent Protection
[02:23] <RHorse> alex_ which encrypt are U on WEP or Wpa or is it open router?
[02:24] <alex_> RHorse: Ah, no security on it.
[02:24] <p1oooop> i have to use wep :'(
[02:24] <RHorse> ok
[02:24] <p1oooop> lol
[02:24] <RHorse> type sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid 'ur-essid' mode managed
[02:27] <alex_> RHorse: I don't think that worked... but I'm about to disconnect the LAN and see. brb
[02:27] <RHorse> alex_ now type  sudo dhclient wlan0
[02:27] <alex_> RHorse: Oh =P That wasn't all? =D
[02:28] <RHorse> :)
[02:28] <p1oooop> ???
[02:28] <p1oooop> thwa?
[02:28] <alex_> It just keeps saying "Network is down"
[02:28]  * RHorse sighs deeply

[02:30] <TannerS> !kubuntu
[02:30] <RHorse> alex_ try turning off the computer and leaving it sit for 5 minutes, then reboot. HW may need cold start
[02:30] <dhendrix> Hello everyone.  The name of the .deb that make-kpkg spits out seems to repeat kernel version info, e.g. linux-image-2.6.30-rc7_2.6.30-rc7-10.00Custom_amd64.deb. Is there a way to tell make-kpkg not to repeat the kernel version?
[02:30] <mgmuscari> i've set up my desktop to accept VNC connections over my LAN with a password, but when i try to connect from my laptop i just see a black box
[02:30] <zenwryly> Anyone know how I can get the Python 2.6 info pages installed.  I have python 2.4 and 2.5 but not 2.6 and I have the python2.6-doc package installed.

[02:31] <craigbass1976> Do I have any hope of getting a wacom graphire tablet working as well in ubuntu as in windows?
[02:31] <alex_> RHorse: I'll try it... but wireless works just fine in Windows so I don't see where that would be the prob
[02:31] <fryguy> craigbass1976: wacom tablets work well in linux
[02:32] <RHorse> alex_ you nver know
[02:32] <p1oooop> ?
[02:32] <alex_> RHorse: That's why I'll try it =P Right after I get these other things I was doing saved =P
[02:32] <craigbass1976> fryguy, the box on the tablet is not operating on the same parameters as the screen it seems.  Was I suposed to restart x after install wacom-tools?
[02:33] <fryguy> craigbass1976: no idea, try it and see
[02:33] <craigbass1976> fryguy, toodles
[02:33] <p1oooop> craigbass1976: hmm?
[02:33] <mgmuscari> i figured it out... firewall misconfigured

[02:33] <joel> hi all
[02:34] <Cannabis_Time> i google forums etc... no luck with linux
[02:34] <craigbass1976> p1oooop, there's a square (rectangle) on the tablet that's the same size (proportionally) as the screen.  In windows, the edge of this rectangle corresponded to the edges of the display
[02:34] <craigbass1976> brb
[02:34] <Detrix> I have a gateway laptop  with a realtek wifi network adaptor.  it is working but I have to be very close to the wireless router.

[02:35] <Cannabis_Time> thanks fryguy, i will try that.
[02:36] <jwfoxjr> fryguy: thanks - I couldn't remember - once I get the scan codes, where to I map them?
[02:36] <fryguy> jwfoxjr: xmodmap probably

[02:43] <lstarnes> nw13: maybe
[02:44] <nw13> Can someone please help me into further details on how to use IRC
[02:44] <lstarnes> nw13: like what details?
[02:44] <OzZiE--> i have booted from the livecd on 2 different systems just fine, this is the first time im using wubi
[02:44] <nw13> everytime i go into a "channel" there are people but nothing is said
[02:44] <sjokkis> nw13: what client are you using?
[02:44] <lstarnes> nw13: that's normal
[02:44] <cedriczg> lstarnes: in that file I don 't see any of the info I set up on the network-manager
[02:44] <fryguy> nw13: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
[02:45] <sjokkis> nw13: people idle. maybe you're not cool enough to make them talk
[02:45] <nw13> lol
[02:45] <sjokkis> i'm serious
[02:45] <nw13> alright i thot i was doing somethingh wrong
[02:45] <lstarnes> nw13: some people keep their clients connected all the time
[02:45] <sjokkis> i'm super cereal
[02:45] <nw13> what does it mean when someone has a @ infront of their names?
[02:46] <fryguy> nw13: they are channel operators
[02:46] <nw13> i see
[02:46] <fryguy> nw13: just read the link I sent you
[02:46] <nw13> i have
[02:46] <TannerS> any way to get a ubutnu related os to run off a zip drive
[02:46] <sjokkis> nw13: depending on the channel, it can mean pretty must nothing, or it can mean that they sit around in their basements all the time until they've eventually been given power over other people, which they yield as if it somehow makes them important
[02:46] <nw13> i read the link and 100 other lihnks on irc
[02:46] <sjokkis> it depends really
[02:46] <OzZiE--> is wubi new to 9.04 or prior?
[02:47] <yogeshg1987> i guess so OzZie
[02:47] <OzZiE--> its interesting
[02:47] <sjokkis> nw13: #wikipedia is an excellent example of the latter
[02:47] <OzZiE--> Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py
[02:47] <rww> OzZiE--: It's been around since 7.04, and was first officially supported in 8.04.
[02:47] <OzZiE--> thats from the log
[02:48] <OzZiE--> im trying it with vista, maybe it hates vista
[02:49] <cedriczg> lstarnes: I need the details on setting the same broadband connection I am using in this ubuntu 9.04 to set it up on an ubuntu 8.04
[02:49] <OzZiE--> looks like the error is Exception: Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO
[02:49] <lstarnes> cedriczg: do you know that the interface's name is?
[02:49] <cedriczg> lstarnes: I have tried everything on ubuntu 8.04. From wvdial to ppconf and network-manager
[02:50] <lstarnes> cedriczg: does it use DHCP or is it PPPoE?
[02:50] <cedriczg> lstarnes: not really. I just set up a broadband connection on the network-manager
[02:50] <cedriczg> lstarnes: sorry it's a mobile broadband
[02:50] <noglorp> I'm trying to get my NVIDIA card working, beyond the generic driver
[02:50] <lstarnes> cedriczg: try checking system > administration > network
[02:51] <noglorp> the "use proprietary drivers" setup fails hard
[02:51] <electro> how do I format a 7TB partition as XFS.  Its only creating a 2TB filesystem
[02:51] <noglorp> so I'm trying to get the NVIDIA .run version to work
[02:51] <cedriczg> lstarnes: I mean, I know the settings. The thing is I need to know which files were edited after seting the connection. So I can edit same files on ubuntu 8.04
[02:51] <jpcorser> com
[02:52] <lstarnes> cedriczg: you'll probablt have to edit different files
[02:52] <lstarnes> *probably
[02:52] <kelopezcl> woop
[02:52] <lstarnes> cedriczg: I know that 8.04 uses /etc/network/interfaces
[02:52] <cedriczg> lstarnes: mhhh... and how I can at least check for those files ?
[02:52] <histo> nvm figured it out needed samba running on the clients so they could ping by hostname.  Also have to have the changes in nsswitch
[02:52] <white_> hey, how do I do stuff?
[02:52] <lstarnes> cedriczg: look in /etc/network for the interfaces file
[02:53] <lstarnes> white_: like what?
[02:53] <eseven73> !details | white_
[02:53] <cedriczg> lstarnes: there is not much there
[02:53] <white_> I need to make window turn into fire when i close
[02:53] <cedriczg> lstarnes: iface lo inet loopback
[02:53] <cedriczg> lstarnes: and "auto lo"
[02:54] <eseven73> !ccsm | white_
[02:54] <lstarnes> cedriczg: you could also check the outputs of ifconfig and iwconfig
[02:54] <white_> awesome thank you
[02:54] <cedriczg> lstarnes: yes
[02:55] <white_> eseven73: thanks
[02:55] <eseven73> :D
[02:55] <noglorp> I get the following error when X starts: "API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 180.44, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 180.51."
[02:55] <vel0xy> hello all
[02:55] <vel0xy> ;
[02:55] <vel0xy> ;]
[02:55] <white_> eseven73:  perfect
[02:55] <cedriczg> lstarnes: However I don' t know how could I use that info to set up the connection on the older version of ubuntu
[02:55] <Gourlis> Hello again :P Anyone knows how to check if I'm using via Terminal Open Sources drivers for ATI ? please any command..
[02:56] <lstarnes> cedriczg: pastebin it
[02:56] <Gourlis> Just to be sure.
[02:56] <cedriczg> lstarnes: ok
[02:56] <rww> Gourlis: "grep FGLRX /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[02:56] <ScornForSega> Gourlis, you could nano your xorg.conf and see if the driver set to either ati or fglrx
[02:57] <rww> Gourlis: will have output if you're using the proprietary ones. Switch FGLRX with RADEON for the -radeon driver, etc.
[02:57] <Gourlis> ScornForSega & rww, am newbie and i dont know much :P i just edited xorg.conf
[02:58] <permanewb> so, my keyboard stopped being recognized during my upgrade to 9.04.  If I try to run the installer remotely over ssh with X11 forwarding, it says that is not supported. I'm afraid to try to install telnet via dpkg. Is there a way to run cdromupgrade text only?
[02:58] <lstarnes> cedriczg: alsom try nm-tool
[02:58] <lstarnes> *also,
[02:58] <ScornForSega> oh.  /facepalm  Is this the "I edited a file, but I don't know what I changed?"
[02:58] <cedriczg> lstarnes: I tried that one before
[02:59] <cedriczg> lstarnes: I got DNS names from there
[02:59] <cedriczg> lstarnes: the pastebin is http://pastebin.com/d566dd381
[02:59] <nog_lorp> anyone know the current endless set of inane steps to use ubuntu with an nvidia card?
[03:00] <Gourlis> rww, I just edited xorg.conf and I wanna check if everything works under what I edited.
[03:00] <lstarnes> cedriczg: I'm not sure how to configure that ppp0 interface
[03:00] <Gourlis> rww, that's why am looking forward for a command or something.
[03:00] <rww> Gourlis: then check the log file at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:01] <cedriczg> lstarnes: actually it' s an USB external modem
[03:01] <yogeshg1987> people ! is there a way i can IRC through the terminal
[03:01] <eseven73> irssi
[03:01] <rww> !irssi | yogeshg1987
[03:01] <Gourlis> rww, alright let me search for it.
[03:01] <lstarnes> yogeshg1987: irssi, weechat, telnet, ircii, and eirc are just a few terminal-based irc clients
[03:01] <cedriczg> lstarnes: I am trying to make it work in my old ubuntu before installing ubuntu 9.04
[03:01] <lstarnes> yogeshg1987: I personally use irssi and screen
[03:02] <Gourlis> rww, no log file.
[03:02] <yogeshg1987> thanks a million rww and Istarnes ! I'm looking into it
[03:02] <lstarnes> yogeshg1987: that's an L
[03:03] <yogeshg1987> oops sorry . Let me go again. Thank you Lstarnes
[03:03] <cedriczg> I have to say always a pleasure to find people willing to help others in this channel. Ever since a while I also try to help (when I can ;) )
[03:03] <rww> Gourlis: umm. Unless you did something very weird to your Xorg, it should be logging there. "gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" doesn't come up with anything?
[03:03] <Gourlis> rww, let's see.
[03:04] <Gourlis> rww, it came. let's read now hehe
[03:04] <eseven73> cedriczg, that's what keeps me on Ubuntu, it's not the OS, there's plent of OS's just as good, but they lack the community that Ubuntu has :D
[03:05] <cedriczg> eseven73: You are right I suppose. As Ubuntu is the only Linux I have tried since 2005
[03:06]  * NCDS is away: FUCKshit
[03:06] <yogeshg1987> hmmm. forgot.. also thank u eseven73 !
[03:06] <RHorse> I have been using Ubuntu since '63
[03:06] <LadyNikon> NCDS: i would suggest fixing your away message
[03:06] <eseven73> !away > NCDS
[03:06] <eseven73> and language
[03:06] <cedriczg> lstarnes: well, thanks for your help. I will keep on searching
[03:06] <eseven73> yogeshg1987, np :D
[03:07] <yogeshg1987> eseven73: i'm sorry, wats np??
[03:07] <Seeker`> lastlog NCDS
[03:07] <eseven73> no problem
[03:07] <yogeshg1987> oh. k.
[03:07] <cyan837> Hello, thank you for allowing me temp access to the chat.
[03:08] <cedriczg> bye for now...
[03:11] <unixroot> I recently installed 9.04.  When I go to the Pandora site, the browser locks.  Any clues?
[03:11] <yogesh> hello eseven73 rww lstarnes ! this is yogeshg1987 thro irssc
[03:11] <yogesh> i meant irssi
[03:11] <cyan837> Could anyone help an annoying noob find the right linux driver for my linksys wireless G?  All docs on it are 2005 or earlier   I'm running 9.04
[03:12] <ed_debian> unixroot, your flash player is the problem
[03:12] <unixroot> ed  - I installed the Adobe package and that helped a bit - now it loads for a few seconds then clocks out again.
[03:13] <cyan837> I haven't been on linux for about 2 years now thanks to having my macbook, but I'm trying to set up an old tower to use while my macbook is getting repaired.
[03:13] <unixroot> I am running 9.04 on my Macbook.  VMware is a wonderful thing!
[03:13] <cyan837> I like the mac OS
[03:14] <cyan837> but I wont use windows..
[03:14] <ed_debian> unixroot, I think that you have to purge all of your flash packages except for one (the one you intend to use)
[03:14] <cyan837> but I forgot how much I didn't enjoy having to find drivers for linux  lol.
[03:14] <reqon> OMG problem solved, im just gonna purchase an nvidia card instead
[03:15] <unixroot> ed - that's seems to be the consensus from everything I have found on the forums.  But I don't have any other flash related programs installed. Perhaps an uninstall and a reinstall?
[03:15] <Guest82661> if you are having sound problems, go to your ALSA options and enable all those Volume COntrols like analog front, analog center and turn them all up,  it should fix it.  Did for me :)
[03:15] <eseven73> cyan837, careful you're venturing into dangerous waters saying such mean things about linux ;)
[03:15] <yogesh> anybody know y my extra visual effects is not working?
[03:16] <cyan837> lol eseven.  I know I know..  I was a hugeee linux fan really.  I still am.    I just wish we could keep a complete up to date list of drivers somewhere.
[03:16] <ed_debian> unixroot, I don't really know what the problem is either.  I guess reinstalling is a good a choice as anything else.  I am running firefox 3.0 and the adobe-flash (proprietary) and it works (does not lock) but when I had a poor network connection it used to lock (like below 512KB/s down)
[03:16] <Turtl3> come on you cant expect Linux to have drivers for everything
[03:16] <cyan837> Yeah Alsa works great for sound cards.
[03:16] <Turtl3> thats why its Linux and not PnP Windowa
[03:16] <unixroot> Thanks, Ed.  Will give it a shot (tomorrow!).  Good night to all.
[03:16] <ed_debian> cyan837, A complete up-to-date list of drivers is a totally rediculous task in my opinion
[03:16] <cyan837> Turt, no, but I still DO need to be able to get on the internet..  my computer is no good to me without the internet.  lol
[03:17] <Bob_Dole> You can expect linux to have drivers for everything..you just can't expect every distro to have them.
[03:17] <eseven73> Turtl3, im glad Linux is still "hard to use" makes it more special, will be a sad day when it's as easy as Windows. :D
[03:17] <yogesh> i guess its already easier than windows
[03:17] <cyan837> Bob_Dole  right I agree but ubuntu I was hoping would be able to have my linksys wireless driver, it is the most common wireless router out there for most people.
[03:18] <ed_debian> I think that the only hard part is installing the OS (which in reality is easier to do with linux than it is with windows) The difference is nobody has to install windows
[03:18] <cyan837> meh.  I just want to get on the internet on my computer in less than 2 weeks.  That's not that much to hope for.
[03:18] <yogesh> yea right.. LOL ed_debian
[03:19] <Bob_Dole> Out of 3 purchased wireless cards, and 3 tested that I didn't own.. all were atheros xD
[03:19] <cyan837> ed_debian  I disagree, I can install Gentoo in my sleep.  It's getting the right drivers rounded up that's hard.
[03:19] <Bob_Dole> Not the same brand/model and I only find atheros o.o
[03:20] <ed_debian> I think if you gave someone a blank fresh computer and told them to install an operating system the typical windows user would be equally lost installing linux as they would windows xp or vista
[03:20] <Bob_Dole> ed_debian, I agree.
[03:20] <ed_debian> Don't you mean Bob Dole agrees?
[03:21] <Bob_Dole> Windows is a bit more confusing to install though, assuming "everything just works" on both sides
[03:21] <yogesh> its just that people are more used to Windows and the dogma that linux is for geeks still previals here and there..
[03:21] <cyan837> true, but I honestly am not your average computer user.  I'm just one that wants a driver lol.
[03:22] <ed_debian> Yeah!  And what do windows users do on their computers?  They use itunes, they use ms office, they use firefox, they play games that's pretty much it.  Is any of that hard to do in linux?  I don't think so
[03:22] <Bob_Dole> iTunes has issues under WINE.
[03:22] <Detrix> I have a gateway laptop with a realtek wifi. it works, but when I get more than 20feet from it, the meter/icon says I have signal, but I can not communicate.  why???
[03:22] <yogesh> its easier to do all that in linux. as i said Dogma ! the mind set.
[03:23] <ed_debian> My point is you can listen to music (amarok), type papers (Open office) etc etc
[03:23] <Jamed> the last time i installed winXP i googled half an hour to find a sound driver
[03:23] <ed_debian> cyan837, is right though, we're off topic
[03:23] <eplawless> ed_debian: I use windows as my main development environment, and have yet to see anything beat VS2008 + Visual Assist X for coding in C++
[03:23] <geirha> cyan837: Well, you'll need to provide the make and model if you want help in finding drivers
[03:23] <Jamed> in linux i never had this problem
[03:23] <yogesh> when i say linux , people imagine me working with cli when i show them ubuntu, they re surprised by the gui
[03:23] <Bob_Dole> MS-Office..not a clue, but OpenOffice offers all the features and looks about the same, firefox is on linux. a lot of games are on linux.
[03:24] <Beatlesfan> hi, can someone help me set up connection to a network drive using vpnc?
[03:24] <Bob_Dole> last time I installed XP.. I installed linux and used lspci to find the model of sound card.
[03:24] <ed_debian> lol
[03:24] <ed_debian> Really? Why did you install xp at all?
[03:24] <Bob_Dole> My brother -paid- for it :/
[03:24] <Jamed> finding the model was not the problem
[03:24] <ed_debian> that was silly
[03:24] <Bob_Dole> I agree,
[03:24] <eplawless> I'm having an issue with a Qt application I've put together. It works fine on Debian, but crashes hard when I try to build it under Ubuntu.
[03:25] <geeksquad> Does anybody know where i can find drivers for the XFX 750i sli motherboard?
[03:25] <racecar56> i want to compile wxDFast under CodeBlocks and no matter what i do, it dosen't see my includes of wxWidgets 2.8 (and 2.6, i think wxDFast uses 2.8 though, but i told codeblocks to look in wx-2.8 and wx-2.6 in my /usr/include, could it be confused?)
[03:25] <eplawless> I'm getting a string of QSqlQuery::value: not positioned on a valid record, followed by a malloc(): memory corruption (fast) and a backtrace
[03:25] <eplawless> Could anyone point me in the right direction?
[03:26] <ed_debian> geeksquad, A motherboard doesn't need driver specific things on it do.  (i.e. the sound card) be more specific?
[03:26] <Bob_Dole> There are -15- computers on this plot of land 4 run windows, and 2 of them only run it because they are laptops with busted optical drives, no network boot support, and no USB boot support.
[03:26] <yogeshg1987> bye all
[03:26] <Beatlesfan> anyone, network drive connect via vpnc assist?
[03:26] <geeksquad> i need the drivers for the network card built in to it
[03:26] <agonnerman> Quick question here.
[03:27] <Bob_Dole> then ask it
[03:27] <ed_debian> geeksquad, Did ubuntu recognize it?
[03:27] <geeksquad> nope not even sysinfo detects it
[03:27] <colonelqubit1> How do I get people interested in my bug?
[03:27] <Turtl3> how do I know if my firefox is 32 or 64 bit?
[03:28] <sjokkis> when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled?
[03:28] <agonnerman> I am working on getting into sysadmin work.  Currently work for a startup, but not as a sysadmin (yet).  Would like to learn a programming language to support work.  Office uses Ruby.  I've been learning a different object-oriented language.  Is Ruby used at all by the Linux crowd for anything other than web dev work?
[03:28] <bc> anyone know off the top of their head how to force fetchmail to use ipv4?
[03:28] <ed_debian> geeksquad, ooo, sorry I don't know what to do,  Try this?  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hardware/Detection
[03:28] <colonelqubit1> agonnerman: I use Ruby for all kinds of scripting needs
[03:29] <jorgp-home> in the weather applet is there a way to add your own city?
[03:29] <Bob_Dole> a couple people I converse with regularly are obsessed with LUA and LISP.
[03:29] <agonnerman> colonelqubitl: so nobody's going to sneer at me for using it over some other language?  At least, not for the most part among linux geeks?
[03:29] <ed_debian> jorgp-home, No, it is giving you a list of weather stations that post their data. To add a city you'd have to buy / build a weather station.
[03:30] <eplawless> I'll put forward that developing for Linux involves more stupid unnecessary tasks fighting the operating system than developing for OSX or Windows, and this contributes to an already problematic lack of drivers.
[03:30] <doleyb> agonnerman: well if you can't handle perl or python, they will question you... and you'll have trouble modifying existing scripts.
[03:30] <geeksquad> ed_debian: that page has no useful info for me.
[03:30] <racecar56> i want to compile wxDFast under CodeBlocks and no matter what i do, it dosen't see my includes of wxWidgets 2.8 (and 2.6, i think wxDFast uses 2.8 though, but i told codeblocks to look in wx-2.8 and wx-2.6 in my /usr/include, could it be confused?) (sorry for this big hunk of text)
[03:30] <colonelqubit1> agonnerman: we use capistrano for some sysadmin work
[03:30] <agonnerman> dolyb: I've been working on Python and hate to set it aside.
[03:30] <racecar56> btw #codeblocks is a ghost town
[03:30] <ed_debian> geeksquad, Sorry :(.  Not even the tools to detect hardware if hardware-manager didn't find them?
[03:31] <ed_debian> agonnerman, Python is a dream with syntax isn't it?
[03:31] <ddwolf> python 's syntax is wonderful,I like it
[03:31] <ed_debian> yeah
[03:31] <colonelqubit1> agonnerman: I mean, people have their "favorite" language, and you might find Perl installed on more systems than Ruby, but I think it's a crisp language. Python isn't half bad, either.
[03:32] <geeksquad> nothing detects it and i cant use the driver cd  because when i try to run it with wine it says "setup already running" when it isnt
[03:32] <ed_debian> oo wow
[03:32] <ed_debian> geeksquad, Are you sure it's physically working?
[03:32] <agonnerman> I don't have the time and energy right now to work on more than one language, and I'd like to go with the one that will be best accepted.
[03:32] <Beatlesfan> anyone , can you assist me with vpnc and accessing network drive?
[03:32] <RHorse> :P
[03:33] <jorgp-home> ed_debian: can I borrow some money to build a weather station?
[03:33] <geeksquad> yes i am on the same computer but with a diffrent os that supports it
[03:33] <ed_debian> jorgp-home, No sorry lol.  Is there not one near you?
[03:33] <agonnerman> I know in sysadmin work it isn't anywhere near as critical as it is for programmers, but I'd like to focus well.  I have had a good time getting into Python.
[03:33] <ed_debian> geeksquad, Sorry man I have no idea.
[03:33] <agonnerman> Again, though, the office where I work doesn't use python.  uses ruby.
[03:34] <IAmABot007> hi
[03:34] <colonelqubit1> agonnerman: honestly, I run across various bits and pieces of things when sysadmining.
[03:35] <colonelqubit1> agonnerman: so if you have a basic understanding of bash, perl, python, and ruby, then you'll do okay
[03:35] <geeksquad> does anybody know how to install the drivers from a windows driver cd on ubuntu
[03:35] <ed_debian> geeksquad, do you know what ndiswrapper is?
[03:35] <colonelqubit1> agonnerman: just jump in and start poking at some simple scripts. Start with one language at a time, then expand your knowledge as you go
[03:35] <aaditya> geeksquad: drivers for what?
[03:36] <geeksquad> my motherboards network chip, its a XFX 750i sli
[03:36] <ed_debian> ndiswrapper lets you use windows (wifi) drivers in linux.  It is a wrapper.  You would need to find something similar for nic cards
[03:37] <agonnerman> thanks colonelqubit1 and everyone else.
[03:37] <monkiesatemybaby> ubuntu noob - failing to find the shared (public) folder on my wifes vista pc
[03:37] <monkiesatemybaby> Unable to mount location
[03:37] <ed_debian> monkiesatemybaby, DId you install samba?
[03:37] <geeksquad> now how do i use ndiswrapper
[03:37] <cerealhungry> I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.0, I would like to get .wma files to play "in the background".  What happens right now, if I use the Movie or VLC plug in, it open the download windown and the player and plays it.  I don't want any of that.
[03:38] <monkiesatemybaby> just installed samba and rebooted
[03:38] <aaditya> geeksquad: your network card should work out of the box without installing a hardware
[03:38] <ed_debian> geeksquad, it's a package.  And it has a gtk front-end but it only works for wifi drivers
[03:38] <ed_debian> (certain ones at that) just get it from the repos
[03:38] <geeksquad> but this one doesent
[03:38] <ed_debian> monkiesatemybaby, open a terminal and run smbtree
[03:39] <monkiesatemybaby> i sdone
[03:39] <geeksquad> all it says in XP is that is a NVIDIA nForce network controller
[03:39] <monkiesatemybaby> i see her pc
[03:39] <ed_debian> geeksquad, I once had a system that when the system shut down the driver for my nic freaked out and when the system rebooted the nic was totally gone.
[03:40] <aaditya> geeksquad: let's start with dmesg output
[03:40] <ed_debian> Try killing the power on your system at any point (i suggest early in the boot process to avoid problems) That's what used to get my nic back
[03:40] <ed_debian> monkiesatemybaby, man samba
[03:40] <sjokkis> when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled?
[03:40] <monkiesatemybaby> it says Failed to retrieve share list from server
[03:41] <annaimkonki> hello everyone. how can i burn mp3 in k3b?
[03:41] <aaditya> geeksquad: if you could pastebin the output of `dmesg`. A simple way to do so is   `dmesg  | pastebinit `
[03:41] <annaimkonki> is brasaro burner messed up?
[03:41] <aaditya> annaimkonki: there's a plugin in k3b that allows you to deal with mp3
[03:41] <monkiesatemybaby> man samba??
[03:41] <ed_debian> monkiesatemybaby, You're setting up a samba client https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[03:42] <monkiesatemybaby> ok
[03:42] <ed_debian> nop
[03:42] <annaimkonki> aaditya: whats it called?
[03:42] <ed_debian> np*
[03:42] <geeksquad> well i also have a wifi card installed that does have drivers on linux but wifi is painstakingly slow. but i will reboot and see if it works
[03:42] <aaditya> annaimkonki: looking for it
[03:42] <annaimkonki> thanks
[03:42] <annaimkonki> brb
[03:43] <aaditya> !info libk3b3-extracodecs | annaimkonki
[03:43] <aaditya> annaimkonki: install the package above and restart k3b
[03:45] <korjata> Hi, I recently formatted a hard drive and I can't do anything to it because it was created by root.
[03:46] <ed_debian> korjata, What are you trying to do?
[03:46] <the1corrupted> Can anyone help me?  When linux tries to play sounds, all I hear is static.
[03:46] <annaimkonki> ok thanks! :)
[03:46] <ed_debian> korjata, This harddrive is formatted ext3?
[03:46] <korjata> ed_debian: just normal operations, writing files, making folders.
[03:46] <korjata> ed_debian: fat32
[03:47] <tuxxy__> the1corrupted: can you hear test sounds in sound prefs
[03:47] <ed_debian> korjata, So you want this as extra /home space sorta?
[03:47] <the1corrupted> tuxxy__ That's just it.  It's all static.
[03:47] <ed_debian> fat32?!?!
[03:47] <dsdeiz> where do you guys get audacious skins? :D
[03:47] <tuxxy__> the1corrupted: try setting sound playback to ALSA?
[03:47] <annaimkonki> still doesn't work... it wants me to convert the mp3 files
[03:48] <aaditya> annaimkonki: did you restart k3b?
[03:48] <korjata> ed_debian: I have two hd's in my box and I formatted the second.  Now I can't do anything.  Should I reformat the drive as something else?
[03:48] <annaimkonki> yes
[03:48] <Detrix> I have a realtek 8187b.  its working, but when I get like 20 feet from it, the network Icon says I have signal, but I can not communicate, cant even log on to the router.
[03:48] <Detrix> why
[03:48] <aaditya> !prefix | annaimkonki
[03:48] <geirha> annaimkonki: Do you want to make an audio cd or a data cd with mp3s?
[03:48] <tiyowan> Detrix: Can you ping your router?
[03:49] <annaimkonki> geirha: audio cd
[03:49] <ed_debian> korjata, It is important to understand your file-system a little bit when you want to add space to it.  I believe that you're going to use this second drive sort of like extra space for your personal things (i.e. not system files) is this correct?
[03:49] <ed_debian> No you don't necessarily need to repartition
[03:49] <Bob_Dole> I once used a IRC client where tab didn't work and it made me sad :(
[03:49] <Detrix> tiyowan: I am currenly close enough I should, I will try now.
[03:49] <korjata> ed_debian: yes.
[03:49] <the1corrupted> tuxxy__: That's not the problem.  Alsa sees it, it used to work, but something got fubar'ed in the mix, and now it doesn't work.  Is there a way to "reset" the sound card?  It has nothing to do with the drivers (which I reinstalled), but everything in how Linux interfaces with the sound card.
[03:49] <annaimkonki> i did it before w/ 8.04 but this is 9.10 and brasero normalizes the track forever
[03:49] <barqers> Does anyone know if ATI Radeon X1300 cards are supported by proprietary drivers? Or only open source?
[03:49] <ed_debian> korjata, Is the harddrive mounted automatically?
[03:50] <korjata> ed_debian: I believe so.
[03:50] <the1corrupted> barqers Proprietary only.
[03:50] <Detrix> tiyowan: at the moment I can. I will have to wait until tomorrow to try it elsewhere.
[03:50] <ed_debian> korjata, In "computer" if you double click (open) the drive does it tell you "You're not privilaged to mount this shit" or does it open and show nothing (cause the disk is empty)
[03:50] <barqers> the1corrupted: Howcome I don't get the "new hardware" thing that I usually get upon a fresh install of ubuntu, and doesn't allow me to install proprietary drivers?
[03:51] <Bob_Dole> How fast have the Open drivers been developing since AMD opened up the specs to their cards?
[03:51] <the1corrupted> barqers I don't know.  Perhaps it doesn't see it.  Occasionally, a reboot may be required.  Unless you tried that.
[03:51] <chez>  how do i use chmod to stop users from accessing certain folders?
[03:51] <monkiesatemybaby> ok i reread that page but perhaps im thick... if i go to places>network it shows my pc, her pc, and windows network. ican go through windows network to her pc as well, but in either case when i doubleclick her pc icon it says Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server
[03:51] <aaditya> !chmod | chez
[03:52] <ed_debian> chez, chown changes the owner on a file
[03:52] <tiyowan> Detrix: Okay...and what happens when you ping any website?
[03:52] <korjata> ed_debian: It's empty and it's already mounted.
[03:52] <dhendrix> chez:  remove execute permission from the directory
[03:52] <ed_debian> korjata, Well that's good, one step down
[03:52] <aaditya> tiyowan: you should get a reply from that website
[03:52] <monkiesatemybaby> her pc has a public folder that i could read with windows xp ab hour ago
[03:52] <ed_debian> if you hit the up (not the back the up) where do you land?
[03:52] <chez> dhendrix: WIll i still be able to access it?
[03:53] <Detrix> tiyowan: it works but I will have to try tomorrow when I can get further away from the router
[03:53] <ed_debian> korjata, Should be /media/"something"
[03:53] <korjata> ed_debian: media.
[03:53] <tiyowan> aaditya: Yes, I know. :) Question was for Detrix.
[03:53] <ed_debian> korjata, Have you used the terminal before?  Do you know what the cd command does?
[03:53] <the1corrupted> barqers You could always go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[03:53] <geirha> korjata: Did you add an entry for it in /etc/fstab?
[03:53] <aaditya> monkiesatemybaby: when you see "Unable to mount", trying again usually fixes the problem
[03:54] <korjata> ed_debian: yep the cd command changes the directory
[03:54] <ed_debian> awesome
[03:54] <tiyowan> Detrix: Oh, so you're not near the router you are having problems with right now?
[03:54] <ed_debian> open a terminal change to /media
[03:54] <korjata> ed_debian: I don't know what that is.
[03:54] <monkiesatemybaby> tried about 20 times now after mutual reboots etc
[03:54] <white_> i need help with gtk-gnutella
[03:54] <dhendrix> chez:  Yeah. Just remove execute permission for "group" and "other" permissions. Try "chmod go-x foo"
[03:54] <ed_debian> korjata, You don't know what a terminal is?
[03:54] <sjokkis> when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled?
[03:54] <korjata> ed_debian: I know that.
[03:54] <barqers> the1corrupted: It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[03:54] <ed_debian> lol
[03:54] <monkiesatemybaby> the internet connection goes thru her pc and i didnt have to set it up ayt all it worked as soon as i got ubuntu installed
[03:54] <korjata> ed_debian: not the /etc/fstab.
[03:55] <white_> anyone know how to update/upgrade gnutella?
[03:55] <white_> gtk gnutella?
[03:55] <Detrix> tiyowan: I am near the router now which is why its working.  its when I move about 20feet away from the router that I have problems
[03:55] <white_> I cant connect
[03:55] <korjata> ed_debian: k I typed cd /media.
[03:55] <the1corrupted> barqers: I remember getting that problem once, but it was cleared up with a clean reboot.
[03:55] <ed_debian> korjata, That wasn't me.  I know what it is though  /etc/fstab tells ubuntu how to mount the various filesystems it might encounter.  It is a config file
[03:55] <ed_debian> korjata ls what is in /media
[03:55] <white_> ed_debian:  you download music?
[03:56] <robdig> sjokkis: yes, that is default. if you want to stop it, open volume control, and click the chain link under the control that you want to unlink
[03:56] <Detrix> tiyowan: I suppose I could wonder around a bit a try pinging the router.
[03:56] <ed_debian> white_, I have. Why?
[03:56] <white_> ed_debian:  im looking for a program to download music
[03:56] <ed_debian> white_, Use torrents
[03:56] <ed_debian> transmission
[03:56] <white_> ed_debian: that takes awhile doesnt it?
[03:57] <the1corrupted> Here's a general question...  Why are there so many unreadable files in my /dev dir?
[03:57] <tiyowan> Detrix: Hmm...if it works when you're near the router, but not when you move away, then it would seem that there is a problem in the transmission of the signal.
[03:57] <ed_debian> white_, Only becuase you typically download 1 gb of data.
[03:57] <sjokkis> robdig: doesn't that merely decouple the left and right channels?
[03:57] <korjata> ed_debian: cdrom, cdrom0, floppy, floppy0, local disk (the one I want), and portable disk.
[03:57] <ed_debian> cd into local disk
[03:57] <monkiesatemybaby> any other thoughts on how i can get to the 150 GB of crunchy info i backed up on my wifes pc be4 i installed ubuntu?
[03:57] <tuxxy__> the1corrupted: did you check your PCM volume in gnome-volume-control
[03:57] <robdig> sjokkis: hmm, you may be right.
[03:58] <ed_debian> korjata, then sudo mkdir "a folder"
[03:58] <sjokkis> robdig: i tried and that's what happened
[03:58] <the1corrupted> tuxxy__ Volume's fine.  I use VMWare to put up a Windows Machine.  My comp froze and I had to reboot so VMWare wasn't shut down properly.  Now sounds work in my VM but not in Linux.
[03:59] <korjata> ed_debian: done
[03:59] <Detrix> tiyowan: yes this is what has been confusing me. I thought that a wifi signal could go about or at least 100feet. but I am beginning to wonder
[03:59] <ed_debian> sudo chown korjata a folder (replace what seems obvious lol)
[03:59] <ed_debian> actually
[03:59] <ed_debian> lmao
[03:59] <ed_debian> this is silly
[04:00] <ed_debian> cd to /media
[04:00] <FloodBot2> ed_debian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:00] <eseven73> !enter
[04:00] <tiyowan> Detrix: Have you tried using another computer to connect to router from a distance?
[04:00] <ed_debian> and simply sudo chown korjata local\ disk
[04:00] <ed_debian> korjata, Sorry about that idk what I was thinking
[04:00] <korjata> ed_debian: type in my desktop name where korjata is?
[04:01] <the1corrupted> tuxxy__: There's also a ton of unreadable files in my /dev/ directory...
[04:01] <ed_debian> yeah type your username (idk what it is)
[04:02] <stealth-> would the xrandr command return hardware based results or would it be based on the xconf file?
[04:02] <korjata> ed_debian: I would hope not.  done.
[04:02] <ed_debian> korjata, lol
[04:02] <tuxxy__> the1corrupted: sounds like a vmware issue check sound config in that, uninstall vmware could be an option - virtualbox is very good also
[04:02] <ed_debian> So chown changes the owner of a file
[04:02] <Fezzler> My YouTube video jumps around.  Sound is great.
[04:02] <monkiesatemybaby> ok ive decided im not informed enogh for linux yet...ill try a dual boot system for a while and see if i catch on
[04:02] <Detrix> tiyowan: sorry was taking the laptop for a walk
[04:02] <ed_debian> the owner of a file has full permission
[04:03] <ed_debian> so you should be able to open your "local disk" now and for example create a folder
[04:03] <joanki123> does anyone know how i can find Nautilus?  or what it is?
[04:03] <tuxxy__> who in here is from UK or is it just me
[04:03] <ed_debian> monkiesatemybaby, You just tried to tackle one of the largest and most complicated systems (samba) don't fret
[04:03] <coz_> stealth-,   I thought it based its readouts to the connection to xserver  I could be wrong
[04:03] <joanki123> i have instructions that say: Start up Nautilus and go to Edit--->Preferences and select the Media tab.
[04:03] <the1corrupted> tuxxy__ VMWare pulls the "auto detect" card...
[04:03] <stealth-> joanki123: nataulis is the file browser that gnome uses.
[04:03] <korjata> ed_debian: Lol, I forgot to capitalize
[04:03] <monkiesatemybaby> oh did i?
[04:03] <joanki123> stealth-, how do i start it?
[04:03] <monkiesatemybaby> lol
[04:03] <xxubuntu> can anyone tell me how to fix the multimedia keyboard in xubuntu?
[04:04] <Detrix> tiyowan: only other computer I have to try with is an xp maching
[04:04] <stealth-> joanki123: run the command, open a directory in gnome, etc
[04:04] <korjata> ed_debian: It says operation not permitted.
[04:04] <sysadmin> how can
[04:04] <sysadmin> i reinstall grub?
[04:04] <ed_debian> korjata, sudo chmod?
[04:04] <ed_debian> korjata, sudo chown* rather
[04:05] <stealth-> joanki123: by default, any time your using a file browser in gnome its nautalis. You can check by going to Help>about from the browser window
[04:05] <the1corrupted> tuxxy__ Holy crap...  I'm a loser...  I didn't check the PCM volume until now...  *head.. meets... desk*
[04:05] <monkiesatemybaby> maybe a bit more info...the shared folder is public, and should be easy to access... it showed up auto in network places on windows, and the pc shows up in ubuntu now, it just wont get past the pc name
[04:05] <korjata> ed_debian: chown: missing operand try chown -- help for more info
[04:05] <sysadmin> !grub
[04:05] <joanki123> stealth-, thanks
[04:06] <ed_debian> korjata copy / paste your exact command (remove your username)
[04:06] <vasy> hi everyone.. I have problem with my laptop battery options to shutdown when its too low or critical.
[04:06] <Detrix> sysadmin: you need to boot off the live cd and run the grub...there is a web page but I dont remember it
[04:06] <monkiesatemybaby> ill shut up and wait if patience is what im currently lacking lol
[04:06] <vasy> anyone facing the same issues ?
[04:06] <stealth-> coz_: okay, thanks anyways. Is there a way I could check to see the hardware maximum?
[04:06] <joanki123> Hm... i also have this: Right click on Applications and select Edit Menus.  This will bring up the Main Menu window
[04:06] <joanki123> i don't see Applications in this menu
[04:06] <ed_debian> monkiesatemybaby, I think nobody really knows / wants to tackle samba right now
[04:06] <korjata> ed_debian: name@name-desktop:/media$ sudo chown name Local\ Disk
[04:07] <monkiesatemybaby> deal
[04:07] <xxubuntu> can anyone tell me how to fix the multimedia keyboard in xubuntu?
[04:07] <dft> monkiesatemybaby: what's up with samba?
[04:07] <coz_> stealth-, this man page seems pretty complete for what it does and what yo u can do with it  http://www.xfree86.org/current/Xrandr.3.html
[04:07] <stealth-> !repeat | xxubuntu
[04:07] <vasy> hi anyone having batter options issues ie. shutdown when its too low but its not working
[04:07] <monkiesatemybaby> ill go hump it like a retard on a football and see what i come up with at least i know its a samba specific issue
[04:07] <dft> monkiesatemybaby: interesting analogy
[04:07] <stealth-> coz_: oh, k. I forgot about that *facepalm*. Thanks
[04:07] <joanki123> nm i figured it out
[04:07] <Detrix> vasy: I believe its suppose to do that.
[04:08] <Original> good evening
[04:08] <joanki123> thanks for your help stealth-
[04:08] <stealth-> joanki123: np
[04:08] <coz_> stealth-,   :)   quickly reading it looks like your questions should be answered there in some detail:)
[04:08] <vasy> detrix: I selected the option to shutdown when its too low.. but its not actually working.. I am using jaunty
[04:08] <stealth-> coz_: k
[04:08] <Original> I have a question about ubuntu
[04:08] <darkham> hey people, every time i want to change the third part repository in synaptic , i've the little window "repositories changed"
[04:09] <Original> why not ubuntu and windows?
[04:09] <darkham> and i can't do anything
[04:09] <ed_debian> korjata, I have just learned (google told me) that fat and ntfs don't support linux/unix persmissions (like chown) which is why you cannot change them!
[04:09] <korjata> ed_debian: Then what should I change it to?
[04:10] <korjata> ed_debian: I have nothing on there so it doesn't matter.
[04:10] <vasy> detrix: any help would be appreciated?
[04:10] <ed_debian> korjata, We have 2 options 1 re-format to ext3 (pretty file-system) or we could edit /etc/fstab to allow you to write to your "Local\ Disk" via options when mounting
[04:10] <Detrix> vasy: I have not really needed to change my battery settings.  Jauntry should be pretty well set up to do it properly
[04:10] <korjata> ed_debian: ext3
[04:10] <coz_> stealth-,  of course...if anything like me... it helps if someone is regularly using this  to kind of frame the possiblities in a smaller explanation than a "man" page :)
[04:10] <korjata> brb!
[04:10] <Detrix> vasy: so I am not the best person to help
[04:10] <ed_debian> korjata, ok.  I'll be ready and waiting when you get back.
[04:10] <vasy> detrix: thanks..
[04:11] <stealth-> Original: thats considered trolling, and isnt really a support question. maybe you'll get a better answer in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:11] <coz_> stealth-,   for that kind of synopsys  I move over to the #linux channel
[04:11] <vasy> detrix: I will search it in the net
[04:11] <stealth-> coz_: :)
[04:11] <darkham> how can i purge the sources.list in synaptic?
[04:12] <coz_> darkham,  you want to get rid of it?
[04:12] <Decessus> hey, my thumb drive has seemed to stop auto-mounting, what do I have to edit to make it do it again? My disc media /will/ auto mount, but no USB devices
[04:12] <dft> that sounds like a bad idea
[04:13] <Decessus> s/no/not
[04:13] <dft> Decessus, try restarting hald
[04:13] <Decessus> dft I have
[04:13] <dft> hmm, okay
[04:13] <poboy975> hello, I have a dell laptop, the wireless used to work, but now it doesnt. is there a way to completly remove the network settings? to bring network back to a fresh install state?
[04:13] <coz_> darkham,   or do you want a default sources list?
[04:13] <ed_debian> Decessus, Did you pull the drive before unmounting?
[04:13] <darkham> coz_:i want to solve a problem i have in synaptic: every time i want to load the screen when i can edit the repos, i've the screen "repositories changed"
[04:13] <Decessus> ed_debian, no, never do
[04:13] <korjata> ed_debian: K it's all done and I ran the command and it all works now.
[04:14] <coz_> darkham,  mm
[04:14] <ed_debian> That was fast!
[04:14] <coz_> darkham,  any other errors?
[04:14] <ed_debian> korjata, Good job.  Any other problems?
[04:14] <darkham> coz_:not
[04:14] <Decessus> I can manually mount it fine, but then I need root access to add files
[04:14] <ed_debian> Decessus, sudo /etc/init.d/dev restart?
[04:15] <darkham> coz__ a little bit strange, is the screen after adding a repo, but i haven't change anithing
[04:15] <coz_> darkham,   try   sudo  rm -rf  /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin  srcpkgcache.bin  you may have to do those separately
[04:15] <korjata> ed_debian: just a problem in rtorrent that I'm asking in their irc.  I don't think there are any others.
[04:15] <npm2> can anyone assist with ubuntu dial up issues?
[04:15] <ed_debian> korjata, Ok
[04:16] <Decessus> ed_debian, command not found ;\
[04:16] <korjata> ed_debian: I transferred a 13 gigabyte folder to my local disk from my linux hd.  It had no file transfer, is that normal?
