[03:23] <FAJ> hello I am running 8.10, using a wifi card with the Chipset Ar5416.  Whenever I boot, the sequence will not go past 'configuring network interfaces' but when i manually cancel this, the boot goes fine.  This worked fine in 8.04.1, and I cannot think of anything to do.  The least I want to do is for the startup to skip this part so that I can boot without having to do anything... thanks.
[03:23] <nathan_> my graphics card works but i cant get the visual effects to work, anyone know why?
[03:23] <MHz128> !fonts
[03:24] <Psi-Jack> So, what does adduser's -r / --system do?    Someone here's gotta know.. It's not documented in the manpage for adduser so it's Ubuntu-specific without properly fixing the manpage to suit. I just want to know what it does so I can determine if that's what I want to use or not.
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> keres why do you still have line 8 in there
[03:24] <fryguy> nathan_: you don't have drivers that have 3d support, or you have a card that isn't supported by those drivers
[03:24] <keres> Jack_Sparrow: line 8? of fstab?
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> keres rem that out
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> keres you have sdb1 in there twice
[03:24] <Cainus> hey... anyone use synergy?  the client keeps crapping out saying "No protocol specified"
[03:24] <genii> \\`oot:No, there would be workarounds somewhere. Anyhow something like: smbclient --user=your-login-name <whatever else here>     is syntax for different username on the share than your current login name on the linux box
[03:25] <genii> \\`oot: Apologies on lag, bit busy here other than the computer :/
[03:25] <\\`oot> yea, I got that, I used the -U <username> switch
[03:25] <keres> Jack_Sparrow: the new line reads '# UUID=B2284CC7284C8BF3 /media/windows/ ntfs-3g noauto,ro,umask=0222 0 2'
[03:25] <onetinsoldier> Jack_Sparrow: i tried your suggestion, i still get the message that 'only root can do that'
[03:25] <a> Nautilus crashes when I try to read my home directory. It can read other directories with no problem. What has caused this and how do I fix it?
[03:25] <fryguy> \\`oot: also keep in mind when specifing user you'll have to specify workgroup/domain as well typically, so --user=DOMAIN\username
[03:25] <chairman> hello
[03:25] <nathan_> fryguy, how do i diognise the drivers i need?
[03:25] <keres> onetinsoldier: are you getting only root can do that or you don't have privelages
[03:25] <\\`oot> it's not a domain, just a standard samba server
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> onetinsoldier Are you talking keres or another person
[03:25] <FAJ> hello I am running 8.10, using a wifi card with the Chipset Ar5416.

[03:25] <\\`oot> 2 WinXP, plus this Ubuntu box
[03:26] <onetinsoldier> keres: i'm getting that 'only root can do that'
[03:26] <fryguy> nathan_: you need the binary nvidia driver, it's in the restricted drivers manager, you can also check out envyng to see if that solves your problem
[03:26] <shadow98> what happened to bitchx ...tried doing apt-get install bitchx
[03:26] <nathan_> fryguy, were is the restricted drivers manager located?
[03:26] <genii> \\`oot: Try: sudo smbclient -L a.b.c.d                     type syntax, i always forget when slashes and sudo may or may not be omitted in these commands
[03:26] <fryguy> nathan_: right in the administration menu
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> keres FYI the trailing / after windows on the old line 8 was also a problem for you
[03:27] <onetinsoldier> Jack_Sparrow: you suggested that i make the mount point owned by my regular user. i was telling i did that and am still getting the message that only root can do that when i try to mount it
[03:27] <fryguy> shadow98: bitchx hasn't been developed for years.  use a more current irc client.  common recommendation is irssi
[03:27] <onetinsoldier> hello. i followed the tutorial here --> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/03/01/allowing-limited-sudo-access-with-visudo/ in order to try and make it so my regular user could use the mount command. however, i still get the message that 'only root can do that' whenever my regular user tries to use it. here is my line, and i ran 'visudo -c' and it said 'parsed ok'.... onetinsoldier ALL=(root) /bin/mount
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> onetinsoldier I didnt realize you were having a similar issue, I thought you were helping keres
[03:28] <\\`oot> same issue
[03:28] <\\`oot> maybe a config file on the client somewhere?
[03:28] <shadow98> fryguy: is that terminal based
[03:28] <nathan_> fryguy, how do i install simplecompiz?
[03:28] <fryguy> shadow98: yes
[03:28] <fryguy> nathan_: no idea
[03:28] <fryguy> nathan_: i don't use compiz at all
[03:28] <riz0n> has anyone here used NX Server on Ubuntu?
[03:28] <genii> \\`oot: Did you mess with the /etc/samba/smb.conf on the client box already?
[03:28] <onetinsoldier> Jack_Sparrow: ok, roger. i started doing this to try and help keres figure out how to do it..
[03:28] <fryguy> riz0n: why not just ask the question you want to ask, instead of uselessly polling the channel?
[03:28] <shadow98> awesome installing now..
[03:28] <JWFoxJr> is there a way to keep a module from loading when I boot the LiveCD
[03:29] <riz0n> Wow aren't we harsh tonight
[03:29] <FAJ> hello I am running 8.10, using a wifi card with the Chipset Ar5416.  Whenever I boot, the sequence will not go past 'configuring network interfaces' but when i manually cancel this, the boot goes fine.  This worked fine in 8.04.1, and I cannot think of anything to do.  The least I want to do is for the startup to skip this part so that I can boot without having to do anything... thanks.   I have figured out that in sys log it shows that 'wl
[03:29] <shadow98> be back on in irssi
[03:29] <fryguy> JWFoxJr: press f6 and specify whatever boot options you want
[03:29] <\\`oot> genii: No doing that now, brb
[03:29] <riz0n> Ok, since you insist, is it required to run gdm to use NX Server?
[03:29] <onetinsoldier> Jack_Sparrow: i should say that, my regualr user can type mount and gets a response with what's mounted.. but if trying to actually mount a filesystem, it says only root can do that
[03:29] <keres> onetinsoldier: my current fstab: http://pastebin.com/m254b29ca
[03:29] <fryguy> riz0n: no
[03:30] <Champ> i installed ubuntu and restarted and i had windows boot this is NOT wubi
[03:30] <wnstn> Sansa Clip mp3 not recognized all of a sudden, any ideas? I checked lsusb and it does not show up. Running 8.04 and it used to mount without a problem until today.
[03:30] <riz0n> thanks for the info
[03:30] <JWFoxJr> fryguy: but is there a way to keep a specific kernel module from loading?  I'm booting from a USB cdrom, but the ehci_hcd driver locks up my notebook
[03:30] <fryguy> Champ: then you installed grub to the wrong location
[03:30] <onetinsoldier> keres: ok, cool. i'll check it out. however, does fstab even matter if trying to mount it manually on the command line? i don't think it does
[03:30] <timlarson> 8.10 printing not working, /var/log/syslog has a complaint about refusing suid=7 (lp) rw access to /dev/tty (which is owned by root:dialout) any ideas?
[03:30] <shadow98> fryguy: im in..hehe
[03:30] <fryguy> Champ: or the installer detected hard drives incorrectly and did the wrong thing
[03:31] <timlarson> (that error is for cupsd)
[03:31] <fryguy> onetinsoldier: it doesn't
[03:31] <keres> onetinsoldier: i did 'sudo chown keres:keres  -R /media/windows'
[03:31] <Champ> well how do i fix it i am on windows
[03:31] <ninly> i have a shell script (call it 'scriptname') in my ~/bin that needs to be run as root to work. ~/bin is in my $path, but when i "sudo scriptname", i get a "sudo: scriptname: command not found". I've tried a couple things to make it work, but i don't really understand why it doesn't in the first place ('sudo echo $PATH' returns a listing with the correct dir). Can anyone help explain?
[03:31] <shadow98> ok now for one of the reasons i came..i have a t61p laptop that i am using xubuntu on and i am not able to get the microphone to work in audacity or skype..any ideas..
[03:31] <fryguy> onetinsoldier: if you don't specify one of the mountpoints, it will look in fstab to find the other one, if both device and mountpoint are specified then it won't use fstab
[03:31] <genii> \\`oot: Check that:    lanman auth = yes                         is in there
[03:31] <jtaji> JWFoxJr: add 'blacklist modulename' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[03:32] <lettus> how to i join on ubuntu BR?
[03:32] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: oh yes.. that's right. i remember now that you say that.
[03:32] <timlarson> the printing worked until I did an update to cupsd tonight
[03:32] <JWFoxJr> jtaji: I'm booting from the LiveCD to install - is there a way to do that with the F6 option?
[03:32] <riz0n> Next question, is there a way to remove the "Hibernate" option from System/Quit?
[03:32] <Champ> fryguy how do i fix the install
[03:32] <fryguy> ninly: your homedir isn't in roots path.
[03:32] <fryguy> !grub | Champ
[03:32] <genii> \\`oot: After you exit:  testparm
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> onetinsoldier this one gives you read, write and 'cd-into' rights for that new directory.sudo chmod u+rwx /media/sdb1/$USER
[03:33] <jtaji> JWFoxJr: I'm sure there is, I don't know it though
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> gotta run, play nice
[03:33] <timlarson> is there a way to undo an update that was done with the Update Manager?
[03:33] <fryguy> timlarson: no
[03:33] <onetinsoldier> Jack_Sparrow: here is the mount points permissions... drwxrwxrwx 2 onetinsoldier onetinsoldier 4096 2008-12-17 17:34 WinXP
[03:33] <chairman> is there an update or upgrade for webcams?
[03:34] <onetinsoldier> onetinsoldier@maroon-bells:~$ mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/WinXP
[03:34] <onetinsoldier> mount: only root can do that
[03:34] <Lou_> If sudo useradd is used to add a new user, shouldn't that user show up when running the users-admin tool? Adding users does not seem to work for me no matter how I try to do it.
[03:34] <ninly> fryguy: i tried adding 'PATH=$PATH:[dir]' to root's .bashrc and .bash_profile, but with no effect. but i might have added it to the wrong file. where would that need to go?
[03:34] <lettus> #ubuntu-br
[03:34] <greencookie> hi how do I connect to a wpa/wpa2 network via command line? I tried 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "essid" key "password" and it didn't work.
[03:34] <fryguy> onetinsoldier: so then become root and do it, like it tells you to
[03:34] <Guest37275> quit
[03:34] <timlarson> why would cupsd be looking at /dev/tty for a usb printer?
[03:34] <keres> Jack_Sparrow: i'm getting a new error now
[03:34] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: i will put the following in again for you...
[03:34] <onetinsoldier> hello. i followed the tutorial here --> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/03/01/allowing-limited-sudo-access-with-visudo/ in order to try and make it so my regular user could use the mount command. however, i still get the message that 'only root can do that' whenever my regular user tries to use it. here is my line, and i ran 'visudo -c' and it said 'parsed ok'.... onetinsoldier ALL=(root) /bin/mount
[03:34] <fryguy> onetinsoldier: the permissions of that directory have nothing to do with your ability to mount
[03:35] <fryguy> onetinsoldier: only root can mount anything, unless the 'user' option is listed in /etc/fstab
[03:35] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: have a look at that tutorial page...
[03:35] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: ... ahh-ha! the user option... ok
[03:35] <\\`oot> genii: Still no dice
[03:35] <\\`oot> weird
[03:36] <\\`oot> I'm googling like a mad-man, but no dice!
[03:36] <derklempner> I don't know if I'm in the right place, but I'm having some problems using Totem with subtitles.
[03:36] <nathan_> were do i get the drivers for a nvidia graphics card?
[03:36] <fryguy> nathan_: i already told you, the restricted drivers manager in the administration menu
[03:37] <budz0r> i just installed a second hard drive and i want redundancy. can i just turn on raid 1 and it work without me losing my data?
[03:37] <fryguy> nathan_: or try envy or envyng
[03:37] <wnstn> nathan_: you can download them from nvidias site, thats where I got mine
[03:37] <EDinNY> Magilla: you would think by now I would just check the sound cable.  lol...fixed
[03:37] <fryguy> budz0r: yes, but you'll need to look into making raid1 bootable
[03:37] <incadudeF> anyone know anything about kismet and the configuration file/
[03:37] <budz0r> fryguy, so it will 'sync' up with the drive that already contains data?
[03:37] <fryguy> budz0r: yes
[03:38] <genii> \\`oot: What does:   testparm -v | grep lanman                     report?
[03:38] <budz0r> because it sounds (in the manual) like it will ruin both drives and i'll have to re-install
[03:38] <Magilla> EDinNY: lol
[03:38] <greencookie> is it possible to connect to password protected wireless networks using iwconfig?
[03:38] <incadudeF> no
[03:38] <incadudeF> you need aircrack
[03:38] <fryguy> budz0r: unless you are using some different raid1 implementation, then it will work
[03:38] <fryguy> greencookie: yes
[03:38] <zzxxzz> How to make the Trash icon change between empty and full? The panel icon always shows empty, and says there is no trash, but clicking the icon opens Nautilus which displays a full icon and the files that have been deleted, and Nautilus shows an empty icon when there are no files contained in ~/.local/share/Trash/files.
[03:38] <fryguy> greencookie: will need to configure wpa_supplicant
[03:38] <greencookie> fryguy: please enlighten me... as always
[03:38] <greencookie> :)
[03:38] <djet13> I think I'm very much lost as to it being my first time on Ubuntu or any Linux OS. I'm attempting to install Compiz, which necessitates X.org. However, the installation guide for X.org is not available on x.org, so I'm attempting to compile it myself, however when I run the ./configure for xorg-server I get a list of about 20 dependencies that it is missing. Am I doing this right or is there an easier way?
[03:39] <keres> onetinsoldier: is thera a risk with force?
[03:39] <\\`oot> genii: I'll paste to a priv window if you'd like?
[03:39] <greencookie> fryguy: so i need to install it?
[03:39] <genii> \\`oot: OK, that will be fine
[03:39] <fryguy> greencookie: should already be installed, you'll need to configured it
[03:39] <onetinsoldier> keres: i doubt it, but i'm not certain
[03:39] <budz0r> thanks :)
[03:39] <fryguy> greencookie: i use wicd so i can't help you
[03:39] <greencookie> fryguy: okay..im doing a 'man wpasupplicant' right now.
[03:39] <wnstn> Any ideas on why my sansa mp3 player isn't recognized all of a sudden?
[03:39] <greencookie> fryguy: wicd? is that a better alternative?
[03:39] <fryguy> greencookie: in my opinion it is
[03:39] <greencookie> fryguy: im using ubuntu with wmii (no gdm)
[03:39] <fryguy> greencookie: use xmonad :/
[03:40] <greencookie> fryguy: i have that too..hold on..ill log infrom xmonad
[03:40] <greencookie> fryguy: is that what ure using? :P
[03:40] <fryguy> greencookie: anyways, take a look at wicd
[03:40] <fryguy> greencookie: yes
[03:40] <greencookie> fryguy: awesome..brb
[03:40] <Ward1983> im reading this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization , because i wanted to find out how i can do kernel updates on my persistent live system
[03:40] <Ward1983> it states "If you want to customize further the boot process, you can change the livecd kernel, by copying the vmlinuz and initrd you want in place of the ones you find in extract-cd/casper (don't forget to apt-get the right kernel, the one that matches the livecd one, once chrooted into edit)." but what does that mean?
[03:41] <incadudeF> anyone know how to configure kismet
[03:41] <fryguy> incadudeF: #kismet
[03:41] <incadudeF> its empty
[03:41] <fryguy> incadudeF: no it's not
[03:41] <greencookie> fryguy: okay done..im on xmonad :) now installing wicd
[03:41] <fryguy> incadudeF: and besides, this isn't a dumping ground for random linux questions
[03:42] <incadudeF> ok sorry then
[03:42] <Kevin_> Hi Everyone.. I'm looking for advice. I setup an Ubuntu server w/ Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Wordpress. It is running terribly slow - about 10 seconds to load the Wordpress site. I came in here earlier and was recommended to install a PHP accelerator. I just noticed, though, that the RAM is sticking steady at 80% usage and the CPU is going way up and way down. Is this normal?
[03:42] <JWFoxJr> ok, apparently I guess there is no way to blacklist a driver when booting from the livecd.  would it be fair to say that I would have to re-cook the livecd image with the modules blacklisted?
[03:42] <giacomo> do you know how can I discover which processes use my hd while the system is in idle? I need to reduce the IO in idle as much as possible
[03:42] <Kevin_> It has a Pentium 4 w/ 512Mb RAM
[03:42] <greencookie> fryguy: I cant find wicd in the repos..do i have to download and make it ?
[03:42] <fryguy> Kevin_: yes it's normal.  wordpress is slow
[03:42] <fryguy> greencookie: there is a .deb available from their site
[03:43] <incadudeF> do you share your connection with others?
[03:43] <greencookie> fryguy: for now ill stick with wpa_supplicant..:D
[03:43] <Kevin_> fryguy: It is like slow to the point of unusability. Is it really that common for WP to use that much resources?
[03:43] <fryguy> greencookie: you should really look into it.  it's just a simple .deb install
[03:43] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: edits to /etc/fstab have immediate effect, correct?
[03:43] <fryguy> Kevin_: wordpress is very much a resource hog
[03:43] <Tyrath> does anyone know how to get the skype plugin working in bitlbee?
[03:43] <fryguy> onetinsoldier: immediate for future mounts yes.  it won't magically change things that have already been mounted
[03:44] <Kevin_> fryguy: What system specs would you recommend to have a speedy site running?
[03:44] <fryguy> Kevin_: no idea

[03:44] <greencookie> fryguy: i'm new to linux, but i think i will look into installing wicd once i get comforatble on 'make'ing:)
[03:44] <fryguy> greencookie: there is no making.... it's a binary package

Whenever I boot, the sequence will not go past 'configuring network interfaces' but when i manually cancel this, the boot goes fine.  This worked fine in 8.04.1, and I cannot think of anything to do.  The least I want to do is for the startup to skip this part so that I can boot without having to do anything... thanks.

[03:46] <robbmunson> lettus: /j #ubuntu-br por favor, gracias.
[03:47] <lettus> robbmunson, thanks
[03:47] <Kevin_> w3wsrmn: It seems that whenever I have someone access the site the CPU usage peaks to ~80%
[03:47] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: ok, i don't know if you really want to have a close look at this, but i have been playing with things, a little, lot of typingin here mostly, lol. but.. i still have the issuse of 'only root can do that'.
[03:47] <robbmunson> lettus: de nada
[03:47] <robbmunson> sorry guys, ill go back to english now :)
[03:47] <w3wsrmn> Kevin_: Oh, alright. You might also want to try asking in #ubuntu-server when you have the info. Though I doubt wordpress is the cause of your issues.

[03:47] <ddgoose> oh duh
[03:48] <critter> yea, already running 64 bit version, so that can't be it
[03:48] <ddgoose> pays to read both lines :P

[03:54] <keres> how do you start gimpshow?
[03:54] <keres> how do you start gimpshop*?
[03:54] <FAJ> n8tuser:  i know that when i did it last, it said something about rcS and rc6...
[03:54] <nathan_> my graphics card is working but i cant get my visual effects to work, anyone know why?
[03:54] <n8tuser> FAJ-> also try to remove leases in /var/lib/dhcp3/
[03:54] <riz0n> Hi, is there a way to disable the Hibernate option globally from System/Quit on Ubuntu (8.04)? Thanks.
[03:55] <n8tuser> FAJ reboot and let me know
[03:55] <bruno_> keres_ are u trying to start it with gimpshop
[03:55] <fryguy> nathan_: looks like your card isn't supported with the 3d drivers.  There's some patches floating around the internet that you can try applying, but they will likely not help
[03:55] <sirjoebob> Hey everyone. I use Conky to display some info and need it in a very specific place on the screen. Does anyone know why conk won't remember last window placement?
[03:55] <nathan_> but i had it working before and i rebooted my system
[03:56] <FAJ> n8tuser:  what do you mean?  everything has *.leases.
[03:56] <firefly2442> I just did a clean install of 8.10 and am getting a grub error 2 (I did the clean install to try to fix a grub error 15), I'm thinking it might be a dying HD as they are really old, are there any tools that will rigorously test all 3 HDs off a live-cd?
[03:56] <ddgoose> giacomo, no problem
[03:56] <n8tuser> FAJ-> also try to remove leases in /var/lib/dhcp3/
[03:56] <fryguy> firefly2442: all hard drive manufacturers provide tools for testing their hard drives

[03:57] <n8tuser> FAJ-> zero em out,
[03:57] <blind> oh. gee. thats easy
[03:58] <blind> yeah, i didn't see it under preferred applications
[03:58] <wnstn> is this thing on?
[03:58] <firefly2442> fryguy: does the ubuntu live-cd have anything built in?
[03:58] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  okthis is FAJ, rebooting now
[03:58] <fryguy> firefly2442: nothing as good as the manufacturer tools
[03:58] <ttye0> I've copied my crashed (logically) HD (/dev/sda) to a plain file (dd if=/dev/sda of=/blahfile) One of my partitions (/dev/sda5) was reiserfs and my important data is on it. The issue is it no longer thinks it's a reiserfs AND after the research I've done I don't know exactly how to extract that single partition out of the file
[03:58] <wnstn> fk this
[03:59] <Psi-Jack> First Kiss?
[03:59] <Psi-Jack> No thanks. :)
[03:59] <fryguy> ttye0: you want to pur blahfile onto a new drive
[03:59] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  no same thing happens.
[03:59] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> what happens?
[03:59] <c0l2e> is there a fix now for MF622 / ONDA devices ??
[03:59] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  it stalls on 'configuring network interfaces'
[04:00] <c0l2e> or it still stucked in  usb storage device ignored ??
[04:00] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> hang a sec
[04:00] <FAJALOU> and then when i terminate it says init:  Process killed in rcS  and rcD by TERM
[04:00] <Psi-Jack> ttye0: Hence, why I will never use reiserfs again.
[04:00] <Psi-Jack> I've had the same issues with it.
[04:00] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: ok, guess i'
[04:00] <fryguy> Psi-Jack: any other filesystem would have the same issue in this situation
[04:01] <ttye0> fryguy: I am under the impression I can extract that single partition out of the /dev/sda dump and work from there. Do you know how to extract it if I know where it starts and ends?
[04:01] <onetinsoldier> fryguy: ok, guess i'm getting a little closer...  Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library.
[04:01] <Psi-Jack> fryguy: I've seen ext3 in a very immutable state, and STILL recover easily.
[04:01] <fryguy> ttye0: you put it back onto another block device
[04:01] <fryguy> Psi-Jack: it's an entire disk, not a partition.  There's no partition table to look at, so there's no way to determine what partitions are in the file until it's copied to a block device again
[04:02] <Psi-Jack> You can loopback mount it if it's a raw image file.
[04:02] <ttye0> fryguy: I opened it up in a couple things such as parted and fdisk and it sees the seperate partitions
[04:02] <ttye0> Psi, how exactly do I do that? When I tried it, it kept asking about anm FS type,. but all the partitions are different
[04:03] <fryguy> ttye0: right, you need to create a block device for it so that devfs can create the correct block devices for each of the partitions
[04:03] <ttye0> Hm, alright. How do I create a block device?
[04:03] <DarkFuzion> ola ola
[04:03] <fryguy> ttye0: easiest way is to just connect a new hard drive
[04:03] <Psi-Jack> ttye0: From the manpage of mount: mount /tmp/fdimage /mnt -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop3,blocksize=1024
[04:03] <max_> kajo: you around still?
[04:04] <onetinsoldier> keres: so are you still trying?
[04:04] <keres> onetinsoldier: force worked
[04:04] <Psi-Jack> ttye0: Alternatively you could POSSIBLY mount it through FUSE.
[04:04] <fryguy> Psi-Jack: that works for image files, not hard disk dumps (the hard disk dump has multiple partitions, each of which would be a separate mount point, mount can only mount a single filesystem)
[04:04] <onetinsoldier> keres: roger that, cool
[04:04] <Psi-Jack> Ahhh, yes..
[04:05] <ivo> hi, i'm trying to setup dual monitor on 8.10 - the lcd on the laptop, and vga out. the card is intel 855. the tv i'm connecting the vga to supports wide screen (16:9), and the lappy monitor is 4:3.`When I try to even use the same resolution both on the monitor and tv, and disable the "mirror", after logout/login, it displays background on both, but places the taskbar on the tv (i have put it...
[04:05] <ivo> ...left of the lcd in the setup), and the mouse is locked only on the lapptop, i can not move it on the tv and to check any menu. any idea what i can try?
[04:05] <ttye0> Hm
[04:05] <onetinsoldier> keres: here's the message i'm getting now.. Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
[04:05] <ttye0> Yeh, it's asing the FS type and since it's the whole hd it isn't mounting it
[04:05] <ttye0> Hm
[04:05] <keres> onetinsoldier: did you force it?
[04:06] <onetinsoldier> keres: nope.. haven't tried or done that yet
[04:06] <ttye0> Sucks to have a dump of a HD and only need one directory off of the whole thing and not be able to get it :)
[04:06] <Psi-Jack> ttye0: Yeah, the only way you could mount it without writing it, is actually quite literally write it to a disk raw back the way it was, or somehow split it up into actual filesystems, but that's practically surgical.
[04:06] <keres> onetinsoldier: and did you try 'sudo chown YOURUSER:YOURUSER media/windows'
[04:06] <onetinsoldier> keres: did you ever get 'that' message?
[04:06] <bullgard4> riz0n: Yes, there is: In ../gnome-panel/panel-logout.c > case PANEL_LOGOUT_DIALOG_SHUTDOWN: delete the "Hibernate" if clause and re-compile.
[04:06] <ttye0> Psi-Jack: I was worried about that
[04:06] <Psi-Jack> ttye0: I never dump the whole HDD, personally. I dump only filesystems, for this very reason.
[04:07] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  anything?
[04:07] <josinalvo> genii: formated ext3, just one partition, and it works fine. Thanks
[04:07] <Psi-Jack> At least with singular partitions, you can put it back onto a partition or loop-mount it, and use it, and growfs or shrinkfs it to fit the partition proper.
[04:07] <keres> onetinsoldier: no. but i did get a longer one when i had all my UIDs and sdb1's commented out.
[04:07] <ttye0> So are you saying, that if I had a HD that was at least that big that wasn't formatted and I used dd to write it to that drive that it would be in tact and I could then dd the partion out that I want?
[04:07] <keres> (i only commented out my UID  for sdb1)
[04:07] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> not yet.. i cant retrieve my old notes
[04:07] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  ok...
[04:07] <Ward1983> anyone experience with persistent ubuntu live boot partitions?
[04:08] <jrib> riz0n: isn't there a gconf key?

[04:10] <CRBS> can I get a file from an RPM without installing it?
[04:11] <keres> CRBS: theres a program out there called 'alien' that converts RPMs to DEBs i think

[04:14] <onetinsoldier> keres: ok, roger.
[04:14] <giacomo> fryguy, what's that?
[04:14] <jrib> !rar | Anastasia
[04:14] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> not yet..
[04:14] <Anastasia> well, this all started when upgrading to 8.10 my pc stopped working
[04:14] <LSbTJzgefXMjGRH_> hi guys when i type the find command and hit enter it gives me a list of my files not usage. Know how to restore my find commannd back to normal
[04:15] <fryguy> giacomo: in reference to the article you just pasted
[04:15] <tylerwilliams> is it possible to make partitions while running ubuntu server?
[04:15] <keres> onetinman: why are you trying to mount sda1? isn't that where your ubuntu install is?
[04:15] <fryguy> giacomo: it's been around for a while
[04:15] <Anastasia> so now, I had to boot from an old Cd to see if I could do backups and later do a clean installation from cd
[04:15] <fryguy> tylerwilliams: sure, but you can't repartition a mounted filesystem
[04:15] <tylerwilliams> ...and that one goes over my head.
[04:15] <tylerwilliams> lol
[04:16] <fryguy> LSbTJzgefXMjGRH_: that is the default behavior
[04:16] <giacomo> fryguy, yes but it looks too amazing to me for not being discovered before ... where's the trick?
[04:17] <fryguy> giacomo: no trick, you just flash your bios with a linux bootloader, and that's it
[04:17] <fryguy> giacomo: assuming you have supported hardware
[04:17] <christian> eh hi, i would like to get the desktop efects in xubuntu, can anybody help me?
[04:17] <keres> onetinsoldier: which partition are you trying to mount? by default, the home partition is sda1 iirc. A secondary hard drive always ended up like sdb* or sda* here
[04:18] <fryguy> christian: #xubuntu
[04:18] <giacomo> fryguy, do you know the name for this?
[04:18] <fryguy> giacomo: you pasted an article to it...
[04:18] <majnoon> !ot
[04:18] <LSbTJzgefXMjGRH_> thanks fryguy...Its working right now. I guess Im having a long day my brain is completely fried hehe :-)
[04:19] <giacomo> fryguy, but it does not talk about flashing bioses
[04:19] <ASULutzy> So something I really ought to know the answer to but don't, how I can change the default to metacity instead of compiz on startup?
[04:19] <tylerwilliams> so how would i go about making a partition for ubuntu 8.10 on a computer running ubuntu server?
[04:19] <ASULutzy> Where is that setting stored? I'm sure I could fiddle with gnome sessions, but
[04:19] <FAJALOU> ASULutzy:  i would install fusion-icoon it makes things easier
[04:20] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  i think it has something to do with rcS.d and rc6.d
[04:20] <fryguy> giacomo: it's mentioned several times on that page...
[04:20] <ASULutzy> FAJALOU: I have fusion-icon, and I can very easily switch back and forth just using compiz --replace etc
[04:20] <ASULutzy> But I want it to startup using metacity instead of compiz, since compiz doesn't like virtual X screen sizes over a certain size
[04:20] <FAJALOU> ASULutzy:  ah.
[04:21] <giacomo> fryguy, the word "bios" is never mentioned in the article
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> you guys' ever had papa murphy's pizza?
[04:21] <ASULutzy> !ot | IndyGunFreak
[04:21]  * IndyGunFreak oops... wrong channel...
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> ASULutzy: take a paxil, i as in the wrong channel
[04:21] <Anacranom> lmao
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> but just so you all know, its awesome.. :)
[04:22] <fryguy> giacomo: the word BIOS is mentioned more than a dozen times on that page
[04:22] <ASULutzy> IndyGunFreak: Sorry, I was used to this channel being helpful and staying on topic
[04:22]  * Anacranom 's hero is IndyGunFreak
[04:22] <ASULutzy> IndyGunFreak: Guess it's degraded significantly since then :)
[04:22] <FAJALOU> n8tuser: do you think it has something to do with rcS.d
[04:22] <FAJALOU> ?
[04:23] <Anastasia> how can I compress files and save from Ubuntu while I am using the cd to boot?
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> ASULutzy: and i have no problem w/ that.. other than when its directed at me...
[04:23] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> what is the exact error?
[04:23] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  i dunno because it is during boot up; therefore it's not there.
[04:23] <fryguy> Anastasia: use mount to mount a hard drive and write to that
[04:23] <christian> i tried connecting to #Xubuntu but i dont know how
[04:23] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> look in your /var/log/messages  or syslog
[04:24] <koshari> Anastasia to a usb drive?
[04:24] <giacomo> fryguy, are you ok? the word bios is only present the comments, not in the article
[04:24] <fryguy> giacomo: i said the page, not the article
[04:24] <Anastasia> fryguy, I only have this hard drive, not any external one, can I write on this one_ any change I try to do it says I am not owner and cannot create any .zip .rar or even .tar
[04:25] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  all it says is 'configuring network interfaces' and then lags.  And then after that it says after i kill it it says something along the lines of terminated in rcS.d and rc6.d
[04:25] <Anastasia> koshari, to the same hard drive, internal
[04:25] <ASULutzy> So still the question, does anyone know how to make metacity the default instead of compiz? I'm sure I could add something to gnome sessions via system->preferences->sessions, but I'd really like to just know where the default config is stored
[04:25] <fryguy> Anastasia: what is the filesystem on that hard drive?
[04:25] <koshari> Anastasia you will need to use sudo
[04:25] <giacomo> the point is: without changing the bios they have archived a 5 seconds boot from grub to X
[04:25] <fryguy> ASULutzy: under the appearance menu, disable 3d effects
[04:25] <\\`oot> Hi folks - I just solved (with the help of genii) a HUGE problem with Samba/Lanman connections... is there a wiki I can post the resolution to?  I Googled but didn't find anything
[04:25] <zhujianhua> hello,everyone
[04:25] <nbeebo> when u got gnome-panel non fullscreen, u get those ugly "grab-buttons" on each side, is there a way to remove those?
[04:25] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> there are several scripts in rcS.d/   look for network related
[04:25] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  ok what should i do with it however...
[04:25] <giacomo> if it's possible to make it even faster with a linux bios that's another point, but's not the linked article
[04:25] <onetinsoldier> hi. i saw a little while ago that someone had an issue dealing with ~/.gvfs. I am hoping for some help with it if possible myself. it is automounting my windows drive and i woud like to get rid of that behavior if possible. anyone know how?
[04:25] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  i am inside it right now.
[04:26] <koshari> Anastasia also remember to unmount the drive before rebootong
[04:26] <Anastasia> fryguy, what do you mean_
[04:26] <Neff> do you have to use gparted before the installer partitioner will see your drives running off the install CD?
[04:26] <fryguy> Anastasia: the hard drive you are trying to write to, what filesystem is it
[04:26] <ASULutzy> fryguy: Not what I want, I know how to disable it... Anyway I found it
[04:26] <fryguy> Neff: no
[04:26] <christian> how can i enter the Xubuntu channel
[04:26] <ASULutzy> For anyone who is curious, you can add configuration editor to the gnome menu in system tools
[04:26] <shavin> what can i install to record you tube videos on ubuntu?
[04:26] <ASULutzy> and it's editable through there
[04:26] <Anastasia> fryguy, home
[04:26] <ASULutzy> shavin: youtube-dl
[04:26] <fryguy> Anastasia: .. no what filesystem is it?
[04:26] <Neff> fryguy: why can gparted see my partitions but the installer partitioner can't?
[04:26] <ASULutzy> shavin: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
[04:27] <fryguy> Anastasia: HFS+? NTFS? Fat32? ext2? ext3? ufs? zfs?
[04:27] <Anastasia> fryguy, I am afraid I dont understand your question
[04:27] <sfuentes> i'm having trouble executing a command under another user. su www -c "echo hello" doesn't work under www but it does work with a different user. any reason why this might happen?
[04:27] <Anastasia> ah!
[04:27] <fryguy> Neff: no idea
[04:27] <Anastasia> fryguy, I have not idea
[04:27] <fryguy> Anastasia: then we can't help you
[04:27] <shavin> ASULutzy: is this a package ? can this be installed from synaptic?
[04:27] <Neff> fryguy: would it be because they are all NTFS?
[04:27] <Anastasia> fryguy, how can I find out_
[04:27] <fryguy> Neff: no
[04:27] <robbiet480> hey anyone ever used lighttpd + nagios on 8.10 server? lighttpd isnt working correctly w/ cgi's
[04:27] <robbiet480> i asked in #lighttpd to no effect
[04:27] <koshari> Anastasialook in gparted
[04:28] <BrunoBB> shavin--> try DownloadThemAll plugin for firefox
[04:28] <ASULutzy> shavin: Yes it is
[04:28] <fryguy> Anastasia: the mount command should tell you, as should mtab, or go look up the operating system documentation for whatever operating system you have installed to see what it uses
[04:28] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  ring a bell?
[04:28] <timlarson> what would be a likely cause for test prints to work from http://localhost:631/printers/PSC_1400_series but not from System->Admin->Printing->(same printer->print test page)?
[04:28] <eldrood> Helllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that  program??
[04:28] <ASULutzy> shavin: youtube-dl is a package, very simple to use from command line too, simply youtube-dl http://theaddressofthevideo
[04:28] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> which one?
[04:28] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  all it says is 'configuring network interfaces' and then lags.  And then after that it says after i kill it it says something along the lines of terminated in rcS.d and rc6.d
[04:28] <Anastasia> fryguy, jesus! I have not a single idea what are you talking about...
[04:28] <timlarson> the second way thinks it prints (reports success) but nothing physically prints.
[04:28] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  what to do inside of network?
[04:29] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> network has to be started at boot,

[04:31] <Anastasia> Anacranom, what is that for_
[04:31] <fryguy> jeeaar: w32codec
[04:31] <FAJALOU> n8tuser: how and where?
[04:31] <Salane> Ubuntu Extras does the trick
[04:31] <eldrood> Helllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that  program??
[04:31] <shavin> ASULutzy: I have installed the plugin, how do i use it now?
[04:31] <christian> #Xubuntu
[04:31] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> on any of the rc directory, inside the scripts
[04:31] <Pici> christian: Type: /join #xubuntu
[04:32] <Anacranom> Anastasia, that will show you mount points and file systems
[04:32] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  the rcS.d S40networking script has something that looks close to it.
[04:32] <FAJALOU> but i dunno what to do inside of that!
[04:32] <christian> ok thak u very much
[04:32] <jeeaar> fryguy: source?
[04:32] <Anastasia> Anacranom, now I see, what can I do with that_
[04:32] <fryguy> jeeaar: i think it's in ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:32] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> can you post the log where you see that fault occurs?
[04:32] <fryguy> jeeaar: simple search should find it
[04:32] <greencookie> hi I have serious sound issues in ubuntu (both on kde AND gnome). could someone help me with that? thanks.
[04:32] <Anacranom> Anastasia, open terminal, try df -h and answer fryguy
[04:33] <FAJALOU> n8tuser: no; i have not been able to find it.
[04:33] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> look around in /var/log/
[04:33] <xxuriahxx> need help with handbrake 0.93 when i install it using the deb and try to load it  - it doesnt work
[04:33] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  i did.
[04:33] <eldrood> Helllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that  program??
[04:34] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> from here on, am guessing where it can possibly fail at init
[04:34] <Anastasia> fryguy, doing df -h, it shows a list of Filesystems
[04:34] <genii> eldrood: Please wait longer than two minutes before re-asking the same question
[04:34] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  don't know what that means, but changing the usplash timeout to 10 doesn't work.
[04:34] <eldrood> genii: sry
[04:35] <Anacranom> Anastasia, should look like... gvfs-fuse-daemon       19G  9.9G  7.8G  57% /home/wbc/.gvfs     gvfs-fuse-daemon       19G  9.9G  7.8G  57% /home/wbc/.gvfs
[04:35] <giacomo> hey guys wouldn't be intelligent to have an utility that reads the lsmod of a udev auto-configured system and compiles a vanilla kernel with old-config and all the possible modules selected for being compiled into the kernel?
[04:35]  * FAJALOU is thinking of freshly installing hardy...
[04:35] <Anastasia> Anacranom, tmpfs                 221M   16M  206M   7% /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volat
[04:35] <genii> eldrood: No worries. Every 7-10 minutes to re-ask gives enough time, people who know the answer may arrive, or others may have researched the issue and have an anser for you.
[04:36] <Anastasia> thats the first that appears
[04:36] <greencookie>  /quit
[04:36] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> was this a new install? never worked before?
[04:36] <xxuriahxx> need help with handbrake 0.93 when i install it using the deb and try to load it  - it doesnt work
[04:36] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  no this was an upgrade. kinda kicking myself over it b/c it used to work fine...
[04:36] <fryguy> !work | xxuriahxx
[04:37] <eldrood> genii: Ok thanks, In the future I will rember that
[04:37] <Anacranom> Anastasia, thats your live cd thats running... you want to look for the hard drive
[04:37] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  it has something to do with the new bootup under intrepid.
[04:37] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> does it also stall at shutdown?
[04:37] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  no it shuts down fine.
[04:37] <xxuriahxx> i click on the icon after i install it and it does nothing.
[04:37] <zetheroo> anyone here know how to setup and run Lirc in Hardy?
[04:37] <Anastasia> Anacranom, this_ /dev/sda1             146G  103G   36G  74% /media/disk
[04:37] <xxuriahxx> im running 8.04
[04:37] <Ryno> is it possible to change resolution to a value higher than what my monitor is capable of?
[04:37] <fryguy> Anastasia: df doesn't tell you filesystems. mount does
[04:38] <fryguy> Ryno: if you try hard enough, yes
[04:38] <Ryno> fryguy: try i will
[04:38] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> i could not think of any that may caused it, i have experienced such but i can attribute it to a wpa_supplicant not working
[04:38] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  i do use wpa...
[04:39] <Anacranom> df gives me this header output:   Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[04:39] <Anastasia> fryguy, then what_
[04:39] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  but i also use wicd.
[04:39] <fryguy> Anastasia: then tell us what filesystem you are using
[04:40] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> i am not on 8.10
[04:40] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  ah on 8.04?
[04:40] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> am on 7.10
[04:40] <Ryno> is it possible to change resolution to a value higher than what my monitor is capable of?
[04:40] <fryguy> Ryno: i already told you that you can
[04:41] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  o wow nice.
[04:41] <xxuriahxx> any hep with handbrake?
[04:41] <Anastasia> fryguy, there must be something I could do to know myself, do you know!
[04:41] <FAJALOU> stability ftw
[04:41] <Ryno> fryguy: k could you point me in the right direction
[04:41] <onetinsoldier> hi. my windows partition is being auto-mounted in ~/.gvfs and i would like to get rid of that behavior if possible. anyone know how?
[04:42] <bullgard4> What does 'sxw' stand for as an extension of an OpenOffice.org text document?
[04:42] <fryguy> Ryno: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:42] <Anacranom> Anastasia, in the gui, go to System>Administration>System Monitor and click the tab that says"File Systems"
[04:44] <nintendork32> Night
[04:44] <carandraug> anyone knows how to split one file in several that can be put together into one in windows (like several rar files). I know there's a split command in linux but I don't know how other people that may use windows can open it
[04:44] <Zooback> i've been running ubuntu for years but when i tried making a new install from a shipit live cd, i keep getting a BusyBox error message with initramfs command prompt. how come all of a sudden i can't boot into the graphic installer while i can do this with other linux distros?
[04:44] <Anastasia> Anacranom and fryguy Says> Type ext3
[04:44] <bullgard4> [Solved]
[04:45] <fryguy> Anastasia: ok, so then you need to be root to write to that filesystem, since the user permissions won't match up from your actual user
[04:45] <Anastasia> fryguy, and how do I do that_
[04:45] <Roy_M> I know I have asked this once before, but, why is it that sudo does not seem to give me real root priveliges sometimes. For example, I am trying to: "echo 335544 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default" and I am getting permissions errors.
[04:45] <fryguy> !root | Anastasia
[04:46] <fryguy> Roy_M: the bash redirection counts as a separate command, that runs outside of the scope of sudo, if you want to use sudo to echo stuff, use tee
[04:46] <eldrood> helllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that  program??
[04:46] <zetheroo> how do I know if lircd is running or not?
[04:46] <Anastasia> ubottu, I know the root password, the thing is I dont know how to use it so I can modify and access the files in my hard drive
[04:46] <fryguy> zetheroo: the ps command will tell you
[04:46] <zetheroo> fryguy: ps command?
[04:46] <fryguy> Anastasia: become root and edit the files on the hard drive
[04:47] <fryguy> zetheroo: yes
[04:47] <onetinsoldier> obottu is a bot. not a person
[04:47] <zetheroo>  ps
[04:47] <zetheroo>   PID TTY          TIME CMD
[04:47] <zetheroo> 18903 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
[04:47] <zetheroo> 22913 pts/1    00:00:00 bash
[04:47] <Roy_M> thanks fryguy, will have a look
[04:47] <FloodBot3> zetheroo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:47] <fryguy> zetheroo: read the manpage
[04:47] <Anastasia> fryguy, how_ I already tried sudo nautilus, but is the same...
[04:47] <Anastasia> fryguy, sudo nautilus wouldnt even show me the files of the hard drive
[04:48] <genii> Gah. More sudo <some-graphical-app>
[04:48] <Anacranom> Anastasia, do you have ubuntu installed or are you solely on the live cd?
[04:48] <fryguy> Anastasia: try gksu
[04:48] <Anastasia> Anacranom, Ubuntu is supposed to be installed, but after the upgrade it wouldnt work, thats why I had to go on live cd
[04:49] <genii> Anastasia: Since you used sudo now to run nautilus, you probably will have some problems running it as the regular user due to screwy permissions after
[04:49] <tylerwilliams> when i try to install ubuntu, all i get is a beige background and a cursor
[04:49] <GeorgeAScott> installed ubuntustudio over 8.04 from synaptic and no i can only log in with fail safe gnome session.  any other session tells me to check the name or password.
[04:50] <Anastasia> fryguy, doesn-t work
[04:50] <tylerwilliams> nevermind
[04:50] <lunakrist_> Can anyone tell me how to make ubuntu boot verbosely, without the initial status bar?  I tried removing splash from my /boot/grub/menu.lst to no avail..
[04:50] <tylerwilliams> it just worked, finally
[04:50] <giacomo> is there a way to dump the in-use kernel configuration (including all the modules installed, that's the point) into a new kernel configuration file that would let me compile my kernel with all the modules in?
[04:50] <Anastasia> genii, so what can I do now_
[04:50] <timlarson> for those following my printing problems (small group, eh ;) this is the error I get in /var/log/syslog: http://localhost:631/printers/PSC_1400_series
[04:50] <carandraug> lunakrist_: you sure you removed from the right boot option? Can you pastebin the file?
[04:50] <timlarson> Dec 17 23:48:47 notebook kernel: [11955.754403] type=1502 audit(1229575727.074:23): operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="::rw" denied_mask="::rw" fsuid=7 name="/dev/tty" pid=24483 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd"
[04:51] <Snowy> ninja
[04:51] <Anastasia> I am actually on this irc because i did sudo xchat in a terminal, because it wouldnt appear in the apps menu
[04:51] <Snowy> you are ninja -p
[04:51] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  tada!
[04:51] <genii> Anastasia: You will need to revert all ownership of things recursively in your home directory back to yourself including the hidden configuration files
[04:52] <timlarson> same error is received even if I do something strange like "chown lp:lp /dev/tty"
[04:52] <Snowy> i pwnt noobs online =p
[04:52] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> you remove the auto eth0 ?
[04:52] <Anacranom> Anastasia, what do you have on your 8.04 that you would like to salvage?... hope genii has a better suggestion..
[04:52] <Oxidize> Anyone able to suggest why ive rebooted and lost sound and have the huge speaker icon flashing on my desktop ?
[04:52] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  ....-,- what?  i just renamed /etc/init.d/networking
[04:52] <FAJALOU> and it worked fine...
[04:52] <fryguy> Oxidize: you probably installed a new kernel version and need to reinstall your sound driver for the new kernel
[04:52] <Anastasia> genii, what__
[04:52] <gizmo> haloo
[04:52] <leewang> helllo
[04:53] <keepsake> Hey, I'm trying to update amsn, but "sudo apt-get upgrade amsn" does not detect the 0.97.2 update (I'm using 0.97). I cannot build from source because it cannot find my tk build dir, though it's installed. Can someone help me install it?
[04:53] <gizmo> now im processing install ubuntu
[04:53] <Anastasia> Anacranom, that I would like to save#
[04:53] <gizmo> its take 3 hrs to install..right?
[04:53] <lunakrist_> carandraug: Good point... I'll check
[04:53] <Oxidize> fryguy considerd that but it was working bef,r also tryed running live CD and sound works but same thing with sound icon suddently flashing on dekstop
[04:53] <Anastasia> I am sorry, cannot find the question mark
[04:53] <Oxidize> desktop*
[04:53] <Anacranom> Anastasia, yes
[04:53] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  is that all that i needed to do??
[04:53] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> and you still have network access after that?
[04:53] <leewang> i was wondering does anyone in here have experiance with this stupid imvu chat program?
[04:53] <Anastasia> Anacranom, 60Gb of music
[04:53] <fryguy> keepsake: have you done apt-get update yet?
[04:53] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  ya i am on wifi just fine.
[04:53] <odonil> When installing softwares with the synaptic manager, what is the default installation path?
[04:53] <keepsake> fryguy: Yup.
[04:53] <gizmo> Anastasia : is that right 3 hrs install the ubuntu..?
[04:54] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  but will it affect it if i have to plug in???
[04:54] <fryguy> Oxidize: like i said, it's because of an updated kernel.  a driver can only be linked to a specific kernel. when you upgrade kernel, you have to go and upgrade drivers too
[04:54] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> plugin what?
[04:54] <Anastasia> gizmo, about that time, yes
[04:54] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  for ethernet.  sorry
[04:54] <Oxidize> And that would still effect a live CD boot that was fine previously?
[04:54] <gizmo> Anastasia : am i lost everything in my computer after install ubuntu?
[04:54] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> it might, dont know,  whats the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces now?
[04:54] <fryguy> keepsake: apt-cache show amsn | grep Version
[04:55] <eldrood> elllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that  program??
[04:55] <fryguy> Oxidize: oh, livecd doesn't work anymore either? i misunderstoof
[04:55] <keepsake> Version: 0.97+final-0ubuntu5.1
[04:55] <keepsake> Version: 0.97+final-0ubuntu5
[04:55] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  same as it was wayyyy above.
[04:55] <Oxidize> It worked fine befor, sound on the live CD works but
[04:55] <FAJALOU> auto lo....... auto eth0
[04:55] <Anastasia> gizmo, its better you backup all your stuff
[04:55] <Anacranom> Anastasia, if it were me...
[04:55] <Oxidize> all of a sudden im gettin the icon flashing, on HDD boot im gettin no sound + flashing icon
[04:55] <keepsake> fryguy: it shows 0.97+final-0ubuntu5.1 and 0-ubuntu5
[04:56] <fryguy> Oxidize: right. and the reason for that i just explained to you. twice.
[04:56] <Oxidize> k :)
[04:56] <gizmo> Anastasia : but i install in from cd.. i dont know how to back up..
[04:56] <fryguy> keepsake: then you haven't done apt-get update yet
[04:56] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> i dont know what wicd do
[04:56] <the_newbie> I know you are genius, and you may be able to answer my fool question... Is it possible to encrypt emails with gmail using PGP? what about live mail? hotmail?
[04:56] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  what about wicd?
[04:56] <keepsake> fryguy: I have, it's not showing the 0.97.2 update
[04:56] <fryguy> keepsake: make sure your repositories are configured correctly
[04:56] <Anastasia> gizmo, backup means to save all your information somewhere else so you wouldnt lose it eventually
[04:56] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> how it works with the interfaces file
[04:57] <keepsake> fryguy: It's from the backports repos, and afaik it's enabled
[04:57] <bullgard4> odonil: You can find that out yourself: Using Synaptic, download a certain package. Do 'sudo updatedb'. Do 'locate <packagename>'.>
[04:57] <gizmo> Anastasia : mean like in my pendrive..
[04:57] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  oh... well it is seemingly working fine w/ no networking file..
[04:57] <Anastasia> gizmo, specially if you are installing for first time the best you can do is to save all your info
[04:57] <zetheroo> fryguy: what should ps say in relation to lircd?
[04:57] <zetheroo> fryguy: there is no mention of it ...
[04:57] <fryguy> zetheroo: if it's running, it will be listed, if it's not running it wont' be listed
[04:57] <Anastasia> Anacranom, if it were you what_  *stupid question marks >*
[04:58] <tylerwilliams> it seems that my installation of ubuntu is frozen
[04:58] <tylerwilliams> is it just loading?
[04:58] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> okay, but i doubt it you can have network access upon going from one level to another
[04:58] <zetheroo> fryguy: how do I get it to run?
[04:58] <odonil> bullguard4: I am actually trying to installing netbeans 6. I want all the installation in the same directory as that provided by unbuntu.
[04:58] <fryguy> zetheroo: see if there is a /etc/init.d/ script for it
[04:58] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  going from what to what?  right now i am on the internet with wifi on that computer
[04:59] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> init levels, try to go to single and then back to 2-5
[04:59] <zetheroo> fryguy: yes its there ... lirc
[04:59] <tylerwilliams> fryguy: i have the ubuntu installation running, but all it is is a greay window that says "install" at the top
[04:59] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  why would i need more than one level of that?  i changed the name in init.d ....
[04:59] <the_newbie> hello, is it possible to encrypt emails with PGP using hotmail?
[04:59] <fryguy> tylerwilliams: why are you telling me?
[04:59] <fryguy> the_newbie: wrong channel
[05:00] <the_newbie> fryguy, where can I ask?
[05:00] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> its how ubuntu simulates sys v unix, the init levels
[05:00] <fryguy> the_newbie: no idea.  This channel provides support for the ubuntu operating system
[05:00] <keepsake> fryguy: ha, problem solved, just downloaded relevant .deb files from packages.ubuntu.com and that did it, thanks =)
[05:00] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  ok...  how will it, in the long run, affect me.
[05:00] <odonil> bullguard4: is /usr/share the default directory for installation under unbuntu ?
[05:00] <fryguy> odonil: no
[05:00] <zetheroo> fryguy: I have done  sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart many times but still nothing ..
[05:00] <juancabrito> hey! there's an icon in the top cormer which seems like something about not being connected to a network, but I do have internet, what could it be? this is happening after the last update of the system.
[05:00] <Ward1983> fryguy, did it ever occur to you he might be using ubuntu?
[05:00] <darnell> any idea on speech recognition and handwriting for ubuntu?
[05:01] <Anacranom> Anastasia, i'd run gparted and in i think you said sda1 create a 65g partition named whatever, to ext3, or fat32, and mount as /bak and do a cp /media/disk/home/<yourusernamehere>/where/your/musicis/ /bak   and then reinstall 8.04 an leave the 65g /back partition alone until you could re-mount it
[05:01] <fryguy> Ward1983: it doesn't matter, it's not an ubuntu problem
[05:01] <qcjn> hi, i've changed /boot/grub/dontremember.lst "something=all" to "something=1"..but i still see all the version. Oh yes i've updated
[05:01] <fryguy> Ward1983: if you would have the same exact question if you were running fedora, debian, windows, freebsd, or whatever, then it's probably not appropriate for this channel
[05:01] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> am not here to explain to you why you need to go to different init levels, actually its been replaced by events.. understanding how the old system works.. helps to troubleshoot
[05:01] <eldrood> helllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that  program??
[05:01] <Ward1983> fryguy, maybe he does not know what software he can use in ubuntu?
[05:02] <roxazer> hi, if i run aptitude update, can i delete the packages it have downlaoded? theyare taking alot of space
[05:02] <fryguy> Ward1983: he was specifically asking about web applications
[05:02] <odonil> fryguy: then which is the default installation directory when installing via synaptic pakage manager?
[05:02] <Cyborg_Zombie_Ni> j
[05:02] <n8tuser> FAJALOU-> if you are happy with your configs,  dont do anything else
[05:02] <FAJALOU> n8tuser:  well its working now; so we wil see.
[05:02] <rgov> Any suggestions for a Ubuntu-compatible PDA?
[05:02] <fryguy> odonil: depends on the package, and packages will be spread out across various locations on the system
[05:02] <Ward1983> fryguy, he said how to use pgp key on hotmail, you can use mailclients on hotmail aswell...
[05:02] <Ward1983> but ok
[05:02] <Anacranom> Anastasia, but would like you to explore fryguy or genii suggestion first, that is last ditch effort
[05:02] <fryguy> odonil: there is no "default"
[05:02] <darnell> any idea on speech recognition and handwriting for ubuntu?
[05:03] <luddite> how do you install a ttf font in ubuntu?
[05:03] <fryguy> Ward1983: and those mailclients all have obvious implementations of pgp.  And even still, that's not an ubuntu problem, it's an application problem, so it's not appropriate for this channel
[05:03] <Intrepid_>  irc.rizon.net
[05:03] <fryguy> luddite: put it in ~/.fonts/
[05:03] <roxazer> fryguy: couse i running it from a 4GB usb drive, and the packages is taking like ~3GB of the space
[05:03] <lunakrist> carandruag:  I had in fact edited the wrong section of menu.lst... d'oh
[05:03] <roxazer> it was ~400 updates
[05:03] <luddite> fryguy - ah thats way too easy.
[05:03] <luddite> thanks
[05:03] <odonil> When i am installing some third party software using synaptic package manager what is fryguy: the default installation directory ?
[05:03] <Ward1983> fryguy, so if someone asks a grub question its not ubuntu related either, as that is used by other distros aswell
[05:03] <Anastasia> Anacranom, I dont know, I think I will just see if I can burn onto dvds and then reinstall the newest version from a cd
[05:03] <Chaoshalo> mmkay what is ubuntu :)

[05:04] <gizmo> instaling ubuntu - 8.10 = please wait while the required files are retrived and prepared..<--what is this mean..
[05:04] <fryguy> odonil: I just explained to you how "default" installation works. What is the problem
[05:04] <carandraug> lunakrist: hehe! Now it's fine, that's what matters
[05:04] <fryguy> Ward1983: in general that is true, yes
[05:04] <Geoffrey2> what is an executable text file?
[05:04] <gizmo> can anybody tell me what is this
[05:04] <gizmo> instaling ubuntu - 8.10 = please wait while the required files are retrived and prepared..
[05:04] <luddite> fryguy - i only have a ~./fontconfig there
[05:04] <keepsake> odonil: Software is generally installed to /usr/bin
[05:04] <Ward1983> gizmo, exactly what it says i guess :)
[05:04] <Anacranom> Anastasia, i am sticking with 8.04 for this very reason
[05:04] <fryguy> luddite: so make a new directory
[05:04] <luddite> oh thatnks

[05:05] <Ward1983> gizmo, dunno sorry, but it doesnt say "error xxxx" does it :p
[05:05] <Anastasia> Anacranom, maybe if I do the clean installation from the cd this won-t happen... I hope so
[05:05] <fryguy> Ward1983: grub issues directly related to the install process (and using grub from the ubuntu livecd) are on topic (and have handy bot factoids for them)
[05:05] <darnell> any idea on speech recognition and handwriting for ubuntu?

[05:06] <dj248515> virtualbox error: devATA_DISKFULL when the disk has plenty of space
[05:06] <Geoffrey2> does executable simply mean clicking on it will launch the appropriate application to display it?
[05:06] <fryguy> Geoffrey2: in general, yes
[05:06] <Anacranom> Anastasia, i tried that too,,, i'm sticking with 8.04 on my main,,, i have a test box for 8.10,,,
[05:06] <Ward1983> fryguy, good thing ##linux exists right :)
[05:06] <fryguy> Ward1983: yes

[05:08] <Anacranom> Anastasia, that would be indeed, but not that i know of
[05:09] <Anastasia> Does anyone know about some place to store files online_ something like rapidshare but that allows more than 1gb
[05:10] <fryguy> Anastasia: carbonite, filesavr, dreamhost off the top of my head
[05:10] <Geoffrey2> fryguy, I was never sure if that was some kind of warning...as applications can be executed....text is just that...text....
[05:11] <fryguy> Geoffrey2: there's plenty of interpreted languages in *nix that look like "just text" and yet run as applications

[05:17] <virgo1143> how do I install kcontrol in intrepid?
[05:17] <fryguy> eldrood: won't let you do exactly what you want (what you want isn't really possible), but it should accomplish what you need to accomplish (stopping people from executing programs you don't want them to execute
[05:17] <virgo1143> this color scheme is driving me nuts
[05:17] <fryguy> eldrood: you might also want to look at PAM or SELinux to see if they offer something that suits your needs
[05:17] <d-b-a> ok i can hit security.ubuntu.com there might be some missing files then
[05:18] <Gnea> !info kcontrol-autostart

[05:22] <eldrood> fryguy: ok , thanks
[05:22] <d-b-a> The_Undisputable: i would check the checksum on the cd and how scratched it is

[05:22] <gizmo> now its proccess
[05:22] <evilGUI> gizmo: how much ram do you have?
[05:23] <keepsake> The_Undisputable: And when you say it doesn't boot at all, do you mean you computer freezes on CD boot?
[05:23] <The_Undisputable> 512 MB ram
[05:23] <Gnea> The_Undisputable: how far does the livecd get before something stops?
[05:23]  * Until_It_Sleeps wishes he could download every single theme offered for Ubuntu from Gnome-look.org in a bulk file...
[05:23] <qcjn> hi, i make sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst,decomment, howmany=1 save it, then sudo update-grub, then restart the computer and nothing changed
[05:23] <fryguy> qcjn: /boot/grub/menu.lst is the file you want to edit
[05:23] <qcjn> ther's still like 5 kernel showing
[05:24] <qcjn> yes
[05:24] <The_Undisputable> frst of all, i am unable to view the cd in the system
[05:24] <Gnea> qcjn: you have to manually comment them out or remove them via apt-get
[05:24] <evilGUI> gizmo: I'm willing to bet somethings hanging on startup that's the only thing I would think would make it take 3 hours
[05:24] <fryguy> qcjn: oh sorry i misread your bad punctuation.
[05:24] <The_Undisputable> i will do one thing
[05:24] <The_Undisputable> i will first update the firmware of the dvd-rom and i will again revert back to you
[05:24] <evilGUI> The_Undisputable: can you view other CDs?
[05:25] <The_Undisputable> yes
[05:25] <evilGUI> bad burn?
[05:25] <Gnea> qcjn: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep linux-image  will show you the packagenames that are installed
[05:25] <The_Undisputable> actually i have burnt on a dvd
[05:25] <Until_It_Sleeps> Is it possible to download every single theme for Ubuntu in a bulk file?
[05:25] <The_Undisputable> i think so
[05:25] <eldrood> helllo, I need a little help, I am looking for a program to ubuntu, I want a Contacts program to ubuntu, but I want one with login user name + password offline, Are there any sort of that  program??
[05:25] <fryguy> Until_It_Sleeps: no
[05:25] <Until_It_Sleeps> instead of having to download each and every one...
[05:25] <Gnea> The_Undisputable: what speed did you burn it at?
[05:25] <Until_It_Sleeps> darn.
[05:25] <evilGUI> The_Undisputable: also do other DVDs work?
[05:25] <leftyfb> anyone?
[05:26] <Gnea> !anyone | leftyfb
[05:26] <The_Undisputable> the maximum speed available for the  dvd
[05:26] <leftyfb> my problem I think is a known one .. and I THOUGHT was fixed
[05:26] <Until_It_Sleeps> !theme
[05:26] <Gnea> The_Undisputable: ah, that might be the culprit - try 4x
[05:26] <srizz> anyone know why my screen goes black when i goto fullscreen in videos
[05:26] <evilGUI> The_Undisputable: always burn at 4x and lower
[05:26] <qcjn> Gnea: fryguy there are 6, but i don't wan t to see them at start up
[05:26] <The_Undisputable> ok
[05:26] <keepsake> The_Undisputable: Isn't Ubuntu a CD file though? Why burn on DVD?
[05:26] <The_Undisputable> i will again download the file and will burn in 4x speed
[05:27] <evilGUI> The_Undisputable: you might also want to try other media you aren't using RWs are you?
[05:27] <Gnea> qcjn: then just: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>  the ones you don't want there anymore
[05:27] <The_Undisputable> it was more than 4 gB
[05:27] <keepsake> Gnea, qjcn: Adding the --purge switch is useful.
[05:27] <formode> Hello, does anyone know if it's ok to cancel Gparted operations? It is resizing a windows partition I don't really want, if I damage my other partitions?
[05:27] <fryguy> The_Undisputable: you downloaded the wrong thing then
[05:27] <Gnea> keepsake: good point :)
[05:27] <evilGUI> The_Undisputable: the standard install image is around 700MB
[05:27] <fryguy> The_Undisputable: the ubuntu livecd is a CD, not a DVD. download it from www.ubuntu.com
[05:27] <The_Undisputable> my god
[05:27] <Gnea> fryguy: there are dvd images
[05:27] <The_Undisputable> ok
[05:27] <fryguy> Gnea: pretty sure there are none on ubuntu.com
[05:28] <leftyfb> there are
[05:28] <qcjn> Gnea: so from what i understand, when a new kernel is installed, i can uninstalled the old one ?
[05:28] <fryguy> link?
[05:28] <srizz> formode: i wouldn't think so
[05:28] <onetinsoldier> qcjn: yes
[05:28] <leftyfb> fryguy: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd
[05:28] <qcjn> oh, thats good, thanks
[05:28] <jhambo> Hi folks.  wireless networking on my computer is $@%$!-up. Sometimes my connection is dropped and the only way to get it back is to reboot my computer. I'm using a 2.6.27 kernel and the madwifi-hal-<IP_ADDRESS> modules (which supposedly support my chipset).

[05:29] <formode> srizz, Are you certain? If I loose my linux partition I'll loose alot of important data. :(
[05:29] <qcjn> thanks Gnea fryguy onetinsoldier
[05:29] <fryguy> formode: if you cancel a partition operation while it's in progress, in all likelihood bad things will happen
[05:30] <keepsake> formode: Don't stop operations in process.
[05:30] <keepsake> formode: If you really want to change it back, just do the change in reverse after it's applied.
[05:30] <onetinsoldier> qcjn: you're welcome. if you purge the old one it may complain about a vmlinuz and an initrd symlink being broken, but that can be ignored. you can see these symlink by doing  ls -l /
[05:30] <formode> fryguy, I don't care if it damages my worthless windows partition which it is resizing, but I can't have another damaged.
[05:30] <The_Undisputable> i am searching for live cd on ubuntu webiste
[05:30] <Gnea> qcjn: yes.
[05:30] <formode> keepsake, I just don't really have 4 hours to let it do the moving. :-/
[05:30] <fryguy> formode: why didn't you make a backup before you started messing with partitions, like every guide tells you to?
[05:30] <leftyfb> The_Undisputable: ubuntu.com/download
[05:30] <terryx> my desktop effects are not working....
[05:30] <wartalker> jhambo:when you drop, ifconfig , can you find the wlan0
[05:30] <srizz> formode: not 100% never actually done it, if your only editing one partition thats the only one that will be affected
[05:30] <Gnea> qcjn: the only exception is that you can't uninstall a kernel you're currently booted into :)
[05:31] <keepsake> formode: If it has not started touching the linux partition, there's a good chance you can stop it, and use Testdisk or something to fix your mbr
[05:31] <lwizardl> can ubuntu linux burn .dmg images
[05:31] <fryguy> formode: and if i recall correctly gparted asks you to make a backup before doing operations as well
[05:31] <onetinsoldier> hi. i have windows on second hard drive, as well as another linux installation. my windows partition is being auto-mounted by a default install of ubnutu in ~/.gvfs and i would like to get rid of that behavior if possible. anyone know how? also, i find it a little strange that gvfs has decided to auto-mount my windows partition in ~/.gvfs by default, but not the linux partitions on that drive.
[05:31] <formode> fryguy, Because I wasn't touching my other partitions, moving my linux partition
[05:31] <keepsake> formode: and not end up with permanent damage
[05:31] <fryguy> lwizardl: sure
[05:31] <fryguy> formode: so?
[05:31] <The_Undisputable> if i rum ive cd can i determine whether ubuntu supports my hardware
[05:31] <fryguy> formode: modifying partitions on disk = backup all important data on the disk or risk losing it
[05:31] <formode> keepsake, fryguy, thanks. I'll just leave it.
[05:31] <srizz> need a hand here
[05:31] <keepsake> The_Undisputable: Your system already "supports" Ubuntu, since it passes the minimum requirements.
[05:31] <GodfatherofEire> Could somebody help me with getting my sound up and running again? It WAS working earlier, but now its not, running Intrepid, and its also not allowing multiple apps to use alsa, i.e. something that worked before
[05:32] <keepsake> !ask | srizz
[05:32] <evilGUI> The_Undisputable: if it doesn't support the hardware out of the box you can most likely install drivers
[05:32] <terryx> how to re-enable desktop effects
[05:32] <terryx> ?
[05:32] <fryguy> terryx: appearance menu
[05:32] <keepsake> terryx: System -> Preferences -> Appearance

[05:32] <srizz> i had already asked,.. i'm trying to figure out why my screen goes black when i put videos in fullscreen

[05:33] <ivo> hi. 8.10 here. laptop toshiba with intel 855 graphics. when i power-on the laptop with VGA output connected to a monitor, it runs ok, and displays on the monitor as well. but if i power it on w/o vga connected, and later on connect the monitor, i can not make it to display. i found solutions to use xrander --output VGA --auto, but it does not work. also, i found a suggestion to restart X, it...
[05:33] <ivo> ...did not work either. another one i tries was to restart acpid, no luck as well. any other ideas?
[05:33] <fryguy> lwizardl: brasero will probably do it

[06:03] <fryguy> DarkFuzion: irssi
[06:03] <dongs> fryguy: ever herad of pci slots?
[06:03] <DarkFuzion> irssi
[06:03] <DarkFuzion> cool cool
[06:04] <fryguy> dongs: i was asking you about onboard motherboard cards, please pay attention
[06:04] <DarkFuzion> thanks
[06:04] <dongs> fryguy: i never said there was anything onboard.
[06:04] <onetinsoldier> DarkFuzion: hello, how ya doing?
[06:04] <Until_It_Sleeps> Hehehe, 'Dongs'
[06:04] <fryguy> dongs: so your motherboard has 0 ethernet cards onboard?
[06:04] <GodfatherofEire> keepsake, whats that command for opening up the sound from the terminal, like the equalizer/volume?
[06:04] <dongs> correct.
[06:04] <fryguy> what board is it?
[06:04] <dongs> i dont see how this is relevant at all
[06:04] <Until_It_Sleeps> Help?  We have her networks SSID and passkey, however I don't think her WIFI card is working, it is a Broadcom. Anyone know any way to get it to work? (Note she can't access internet without wifi)
[06:06] <dongs> fryguy: great, so how do i disable this.
[06:06] <Asathoor> how to mount sd cards automatically?
[06:07] <fryguy> dongs: udev rules
[06:07] <_2> MrWizeGuy1983 mount /dev/<devicenodehere> /mnt/
[06:07] <keepsake> b3z3rk3r: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:07] <dongs> udev: command not found.
[06:07] <MrWizeGuy1983> thanks
[06:07] <fryguy> formode: i already told you the answer to your question.   Last I recall, Ubuntu does not recognize the mac filesystem.
[06:08] <GodfatherofEire> OK, still no luck with the sound
[06:08] <psypher246> dongs: um  ok, sure
[06:08] <MrWizeGuy1983> thanks _2
[06:09] <fryguy> formode: ubuntu works with HFS+ fine from what i remember
[06:09] <b3z3rk3r> keepsake, thx.. will give it a go now.. nautilus required?
[06:09] <formode> dongs, less rude?
[06:09] <psypher246> dell m6300 laptop is so last century
[06:09] <Until_It_Sleeps> !Login control panel
[06:09] <_2> !ops dongs has been asked several times to use proper language in here.
[06:09] <fryguy> formode: read does at least, unsure about write
[06:09] <formode> fryguy, it wasn't working 3 months ago when I checked. :-/
[06:09] <Until_It_Sleeps> :(
[06:09] <formode> fryguy, Hm, ok, I'll try that.
[06:09] <Lou_> Does Nautilus leave error messages in a file someplace when it crashes?
[06:09] <keepsake> b3z3rk3r: Nope, just gedit or something of the like.
[06:09] <keepsake> Lou_: Check dmesg
[06:09] <Slart> Lou_: the syslog perhaps
[06:09] <formode> fryguy, Thanks.
[06:09] <dongs> psypher246: i install windows on hundreds of dell laptops from this and last century and have zero problems wiht them.
[06:09] <Until_It_Sleeps> how do I get to this 'login control panel'?
[06:09] <psypher246> formode: i'm curious though, how do you get udev to make a device eth0 or eth1
[06:10] <dongs> psypher246: i guess maybe thats just you in this case.
[06:10] <psypher246> must be
[06:10] <b3z3rk3r> keepsake, nice, thx.. if i dont come back it worked :P   thanks again
[06:10] <fryguy> dongs: so then why not just continue using windows?
[06:10] <Slart> dongs, psypher246: can we keep it on topic? there is an offtopic channel for this kind of chatter
[06:10] <keepsake> b3z3rk3r: Good luck! =)
[06:10] <onetinsoldier> dongs: windows has about 1/1000 the flexibility and configurability of linux
[06:10] <Lou_> keepsake and Slart, thanks. I check there.
[06:10] <psypher246> Slart: sorry
[06:10] <keepsake> onetinsoldier: True, but I do miss a lot of programs in Windows =P
[06:10] <MrWizeGuy1983> more viruses are made for windows in a month than exist in total for linux
[06:10] <formode> psypher246, I frankly have no idea. If I was going on a wing, I've play with /dev... You could also check the wiki.
[06:10] <dongs> onetinsoldier: thats fine. i dont need "flexibility", i need usability. right now, im wasting time because it decided to arbitrarily rename a network interface without asking the user.
[06:11] <Until_It_Sleeps> how do I get to this 'login control panel'?
[06:11] <psypher246> formode: yeah i had the issue with a server, in the end, who cares if it's eth0 or 1 ruight?
[06:11] <formode> psypher246, Apparently you? :-P
[06:11] <Slart> Until_It_Sleeps: it isn't in system, administration ?
[06:11] <dongs> and time is more important than flexibility or configurability or hwatever the fuck, because time is money, unless you're in your parents basement, that is.
[06:11] <psypher246> nah i'm just curious, dongs is the one who is freaked out by it
[06:11] <GodfatherofEire> Ok, anybody else know how/what is going on with my systems sound at the moment, cause I havent got a bloody clue
[06:11] <_2> !ops
[06:11] <psypher246> wait till he has a rela problem, like his browsers crash 90% of the time
[06:11] <formode> dongs, Maybe you should take note of the IRC rules?
[06:12] <MrWizeGuy1983> dongs, enjoy your windows viruses
[06:12] <onetinsoldier> keepsake and dongs: i don't know why, from my message and your two guys responses.. i am having a major de ja vu moment
[06:12] <DBO> something wrong _2?
[06:12] <fryguy> dongs: so then go install windows
[06:12] <_2> ops,     dongs has been asked several times to use proper language in here.
[06:12] <formode> psypher246, is that your problem?
[06:12] <keepsake> onetinsoldier: haha
[06:12] <psypher246> yup
[06:12] <dongs> fryguy: i do, and i have no problems with it.
[06:12] <Until_It_Sleeps> slart: Um, I see a "login window" but not a 'login contol panel', unless thats supposed to be it...
[06:12] <dongs> fryguy: do you see me asking ridiculous questions in #windows?
[06:12] <dongs> fryguy: i'm here because shit doesnt work.
[06:12] <formode> until_it_sleeps, that's the one!
[06:12] <dongs> this is pretty simple and basic.
[06:12] <DBO> dongs, please watch your language
[06:12] <Slart> Until_It_Sleeps: that might be it.. they change names every now and then =)
[06:12] <Until_It_Sleeps> :D
[06:13] <MrWizeGuy1983> dongs, calm down, you're obviously not smart enough to configure ubuntu so use a microsoft product or pay someone
[06:13] <formode> pyspher246, Hm, did you try compiling it from a nightly build?
[06:13] <dongs> everyone in here so far has told me to 'watch my language', 'just ask and sit and wait', 'be more polite', yadda yadda, but has so far not produced a single useful comment regarding my actual problem.
[06:13] <dongs> MrWizeGuy1983: i will paypal you $20 if you fix my problem in the next 5 minuts
[06:13] <DBO> dongs, maybe I can help, can you restate your problem?
[06:13] <formode> dongs, so go buy support. None of us here "have" to help you. :-P
[06:13] <keepsake> dongs, if we knew how to fix it, we'd have said something.   If you are having unresolvable problems with ubuntu, and you don't want to take the time to investigate a solution, go run windows and enjoy your machine
[06:13] <Slart> dongs: we're only users, we are not employed by canonical.. if you want someone to yell at you can pay them for that service
[06:13] <MrWizeGuy1983> dongs, i meant pay someone who lives there, and i'd recommend ndispluginwrapper
[06:14] <dongs> MrWizeGuy1983: you dont even know what my problem is, and you're already recommending some ridiculous unrelated solution.
[06:14] <MrWizeGuy1983> .....
[06:14] <MrWizeGuy1983> it lets you use windows drivers for wireless cards...
[06:14] <MrWizeGuy1983> it's directly related to your issue
[06:14] <formode> dongs, you're not getting help because your insulting half the channel, just so you know.
[06:14] <fryguy> MrWizeGuy1983: he doesn't have a wireless card
[06:14] <dongs> MrWizeGuy1983: this is not a wirless card.
[06:15] <dongs> and hte card is working just fine... at eth1
[06:15] <GodfatherofEire> OK, I could REALLY use some help with gettin the sound working. Cause I havent a clue what is going on with it
[06:15] <dongs> right after udev renames it for no reason.
[06:15] <formode> godfatherofeire, When did it stop working?
[06:15] <\\`oot> Hi - is shockwave (.swf) support native in 8.10?
[06:15] <GodfatherofEire> formode, bout an hour ago
[06:15] <psypher246> dongs:  a really simple google search would also help
[06:15] <onetinsoldier> dongs: i was busy for a while trying to figure out my own stuff here. i suppose the obvious has been covered... like cat /etc/network/interfaces
[06:15] <dongs> psypher246: been there done that.
[06:15] <Slart> \\`oot: 32-bit flash and soon 64 bit flash are available in linux
[06:15] <GodfatherofEire> Make that an hour and a half
[06:15] <MrWizeGuy1983> \\`oot, kinda, firefox has the default plugin and installs flash for you when prompted
[06:15] <dongs> onetinsoldier: yes, obviously.
[06:15] <psypher246> http://debianclusters.cs.uni.edu/index.php/Udev:_Renaming_Network_Interfaces; http://www.easyzonecorp.net/network/view.php?ID=897; http://flipsidereality.com/blog/nix/rename-hardware-devices-like-eth0-using-udev-for-linux/
[06:16] <keepsake> \\`oot: Not native, but available.
[06:16] <onetinsoldier> dongs: k
[06:16] <formode> godfatherofeire, would you try (Close all sound using apps first) please use "sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload"
[06:16] <Slart> \\`oot: there aren't to many flash content creation tools available though
[06:16] <Until_It_Sleeps> The Login prefrences window does not see my theme archive
[06:16] <\\`oot> keepsake: OK... I've hit a page with a bunch of .swf file, but when I click them FireFox wants to download 'em?
[06:16] <Until_It_Sleeps> file extension is .bz2
[06:16] <MrWizeGuy1983> \\`oot, go to youtube and it will ask you to install flash
[06:16] <keepsake> \\`oot: Weird, do you have the plug-in installed? Check about:plugins.
[06:17] <GodfatherofEire> formode: no luck
[06:17] <cplab2-58> hey can anyone tell me how to solve this http://paste.ubuntu.com/87576/
[06:17] <\\`oot> Shockwave flash is installed, yes
[06:17] <formode> godfatherofeire, have you restarted?
[06:17] <GodfatherofEire> formode: yep
[06:17] <formode> formode, have you possibly changed something in your bios/administration or anything?
[06:17] <transporter> hi i just found a few commands that could solve my problem could somebody help me in how should i type them in becoz i get a very unusual output with a lot of options
[06:18] <formode> godfatherofeire,  have you possibly changed something in your bios/administration or anything?
[06:18] <keepsake> cplab2-58: You can't use apt-get to install if you can't connect to the web servers.
[06:18] <keepsake> cplab2-58: Download the .deb files and install them manually.
[06:18] <GodfatherofEire> foremode: shouldnt have
[06:18] <keepsake> \\`oot: Are you using proprietary Flash plug-ins from Adobe?
[06:18] <formode> godfatherofeire, That's strange.
[06:18] <GodfatherofEire> Indeed
[06:19] <\\`oot> keepsake: No?  this is a standard install
[06:19] <acc_> Hi, #Ubuntu.  I'm trying to do an aptitude safe-upgrade on Hardy, but I'm unable to do so because I'm missing a gpg key to verify linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic.  I've Googled for at least an hour with no luck.  Any ideas where I might find it?
[06:19] <formode> godfatherofeire, if you go system -> Administration -> Sounds and tell me if it's detecting anything?
[06:20] <GodfatherofEire> formodel yep
[06:20] <Slart> acc_: those keys are usually available through the repository website.. they must be someone on ubuntu.com
[06:20] <Slart> acc_: someone/somewhere
[06:20] <keepsake> \\`oot: Try installing those.
[06:20] <formode> godfatherofeire, Can you try changing the playback options, then trying your sound?
[06:20] <\\`oot> OK
[06:20] <\\`oot> thx
[06:21] <transporter> hi i just found a few commands that could solve my problem could somebody help me in how should i type them in becoz i get a very unusual output with a lot of options
[06:21] <acc_> Slart: How can I find out who signed it?
[06:21] <darkfuzion_> im on Xchat now how can you add servers
[06:21] <GodfatherofEire> formode: I think... I got it.... ow,,, damn it
[06:21] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion_: howdy!
[06:21] <GodfatherofEire> Sound was all the way up
[06:21] <formode> godfatherofeire, haha. ^^ Yay.
[06:21] <fryguy> dongs: btw the file i was talking about is /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules
[06:21] <darkfuzion_> hey one
[06:22] <darkfuzion_> i installed compiz fuzion and it all works
[06:22] <formode> Gah, so is there a reason that, when moving a partition, that gparted copies even free space byte for byte?
[06:22] <fryguy> formode: because it can't know what is free space and what isn't
[06:22] <Until_It_Sleeps> It sees my other archived files, the ones with .gz extension, but not the ones with the /bz2 extension....
[06:22] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion_: sweet! w00oties :-)
[06:22] <master_> I have a compaq presario c50, ,,just installed ubuntu on it (8.10)...wifi is not working....can anyone help please?...I'm new to this OS
[06:23] <Until_It_Sleeps> .bz2*
[06:23] <formode> fryguy, Ah. :-/ That would be a nice feature, it's a clean windows install on a 60 gb partition, so there's like 55 gb of free space.
[06:23] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion_: for your question... at the top menu... XChat --> Network List
[06:23] <Until_It_Sleeps> Hello?
[06:23] <_2> formode because you are coping a aprtition, and not just the fs.   i.e. it isn't reading the content it's just moving it.
[06:23] <fryguy> formode: it would also probably be longer to rewrite all of the inode tables so that everything could get rewritten correctly and not move free space
[06:24] <derklempner> Can anyone tell me how much system memory Firefox should be using when running?  My running processes shows it using more than 80MB...
[06:24] <fryguy> derklempner: it'll use however much it needs/can use
[06:24] <fryguy> derklempner: i've had my firefox processes using in excess of 2gb of ram before
[06:24] <dongs> lol 80mb...
[06:24] <keepsake> derklempner: That's normal, don't worry.
[06:24] <formode> fryguy, I kind of want it to just, delete itself now. :-P
[06:24] <Slart> acc_: I couldn't find them in this short time but the keys aren't secret.. they are probably listed somewhere on a webpage, perhaps the ubuntu wiki
[06:24] <master_> I have a compaq presario c50, ,,just installed ubuntu on it (8.10)...wifi is not working....can anyone help please?...I'm new to this OS
[06:24] <Slart> acc_: but I have to get going if I'm going to get to work on time so ask the channel again if you don't find them
[06:25] <acc_> Slart: thanks
[06:25] <juancabrito> there's an icon in the top cormer which seems like something about not being connected to a network, but I do have internet, what could it be? this is happening after the last update of the system.
[06:25] <fryguy> dongs: you bother looking at that file that i told you to look at?
[06:25] <dongs> fryguy: yes, there's shit in there. can i just delete it.
[06:25] <fryguy> dongs: no
[06:25] <transporter> hi i just found a few commands that could solve my problem could somebody help me in how should i type them in becoz i get a very unusual output with a lot of options
[06:25] <dongs> i mean the contents.
[06:25] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: how long have you had it open and how many Tabs do you have open?
[06:25] <fryguy> dongs: probably
[06:25] <darkfuzion_> ack i need to get to irc.dashhacks.com in Xchat
[06:25] <derklempner> onetinsoldier: about 45 minutes with three open tabs.
[06:26] <_2> darkfuzion_ /server irc.dashhacks.com
[06:26] <zhjawe> derklempner: Epiphany Web is a lighte weight web browser,try it,ha ha.
[06:26] <derklempner> onetinsoldier: Ands it's hanging right now.  Seems to do this a lot, sometimes right after I open the program with just one tab.
[06:26] <dongs> deleted, rebooting
[06:26] <keepsake> transporter: What are you trying to type in?
[06:26] <formode> Will cancelling a partition move (Of windows) ruin any other partitions? I don't want the one windows partition anymore.
[06:26] <darkfuzion_> thanks
[06:27] <fryguy> formode: it could
[06:27] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: ok, 80 MB doesn't sound too unusual.. i just opened mine a couple minutes ago.. and have done nothing with it. lookslike it's using about 57 MB
[06:27] <keepsake> formode: You can probably just delete the partition altogether
[06:27] <p3n1x> installing 64bit ubuntu using my x-fi music and 9800gtx should build fine with the drivers. and support my 24in wide ok too?
[06:27] <fryguy> p3n1x: sure
[06:27] <dongs> fryguy: well, at least its back on eth0.
[06:27] <p3n1x> ive found the 64bit drievrs for both so assuming all goes well
[06:27] <_2> darkfuzion_ also  /join #channel_name
[06:27] <keepsake> formode: However, don't risk it =P
[06:27] <Spherous> !grub
[06:27] <transporter> keepsake: well i found a thread on ubuntuforums.org well it could solve my problem with the woofer issue
[06:27] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: it's hanging? hmm, mine never does that.
[06:27] <jengc0il> hello w0rld
