[00:00] <utarpradesh> hi, What kind of graphical assets do i need to install prior to running half-life on UBUNTU through WINE?
[00:00] <Carbonflux> if you try and install someone outside that Ubuntu repo's the dependency problems are on you

[00:00] <XXarmory555XX> i need help agian badyl!!!! ok i tryed to reinstall ubuntu and it didnt work i put the disk in the drive and restarted the computer and nothing happend wut do i do plz help!!!:""(
[00:00] <Carbonflux> utarpradesh, nothing, just remember to use the DirectX 8 driver
[00:00] <stefg> !wine | utarpradesh
[00:00] <ubotu> utarpradesh: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[00:00] <unop> !pastebin | eduardo
[00:00] <utarpradesh> Carbonflux, how do i enable this?
[00:00] <ubotu> eduardo: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[00:00] <SeanInSeattle> Carbonflux:  That's soo true.  It makes the difference in the user if the given individual has enough patience and perseverance to get all the pieces together.
[00:00] <valros> Can someone help please, I'm running the Ubuntu live CD on a dell laptop, no sound. Is this a known problem or would this continue.
[00:00] <soundray> DragonLotus: then the backup you picked wasn't a working one. The earliest one you have is usually best (listed last if you 'ls -lt /etc/X11/xorg.conf*')
[00:01] <Nith> SeanInSeattle: there is no real way around them
[00:01] <ShadowdogKGB> Hiiiiiiiii
[00:01] <stefg> !intelhda | valros
[00:01] <ubotu> valros: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[00:01] <Carbonflux> utarpradesh, one sec, let me look it up, its a command line option...
[00:01] <Shai> This sucks, took me an hour to get lirc working and all day to try to figure out how to blacklist a module that prevents lirc from loading properly.
[00:01] <XXarmory555XX> can any one help me?
[00:01] <Nith> SeanInSeattle: windows has them too, its just transparent because the libraries come from the same place
[00:01] <mDemocritus> stefg: wow you're taking on a bunch... i'll be here for a while, so just let me know if anything else comes to mind... your input it much appreciated
[00:01] <mDemocritus> is*
[00:02] <soundray> Shai: too bad -- even ubotu knows how to blacklist
[00:02] <eduardo> stefg, its pasted.
[00:02] <ShadowdogKGB> Anybody know how to get a Lexmark Z1300 Printer to work with Ubuntu?
[00:02] <soundray> Shai: I've found lirc painful, too, though
[00:02] <XXarmory555XX> hello!!! i need sum good old help plz!!
[00:02] <SeanInSeattle> Thanks all. Have a great one!
[00:02] <unop> Shai, see /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist*
[00:02] <semi-newb> soundray and unop: thanks for your help. i reinstalled grub and linux-image and the files are there. hopefully after reboot it will still work. (i restored an older backup of menu.lst too) ttyl!
[00:02] <DragonLotus> thanks soundray I ran dpkg-reconfigure now I'll restart.
[00:02] <stefg> mDemocritus: so you looked at dmesg yourself.... everything that comes to mind is dependant on on what it says
[00:02] <Shai> Soundray - how do you blacklist a module that contiues to load even when it's in the blacklist file and has a blacklist file of its own?
[00:03] <individual_elev> hello.i have downloaded the ubuntu 8.04 in winrar form..how can i create a live cd out of it?
[00:03] <XXarmory555XX> can any one hear me?
[00:03] <unop> semi-newb, let us know if it works ok
[00:03] <Carbonflux> utarpradesh, its: -dxlevel 80
[00:03] <mDemocritus> stefg: yeah... it looks like it detected fine... did you see my paste?
[00:03] <stefg> eduardo: you got a link in your browsers address-bar... paste that here, so i can find it
[00:03] <tonsofpcs> no, XXarmory555XX
[00:03] <semi-newb> unop: ok
[00:03] <tonsofpcs> not unless they have a textreader
[00:03] <stefg> mDemocritus: no
[00:03] <ShadowdogKGB> woo hooo!
[00:03] <unop> individual_elev, ask in #ubuntu+1
[00:03] <eduardo> stefg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61688/
[00:03] <XXarmory555XX> text reader? wut??
[00:03] <soundray> Shai: that usually means that it's loaded before blacklisting takes an effect, ie. from initramfs
[00:03] <valros> OK thanks
[00:03] <stefg> eduardo: ok, wait a second
[00:04] <Shai> Soundray, I'll look into initramfs......thanks.
[00:04] <individual_elev> thanks unop!
[00:04] <XXarmory555XX> why do i need a text reader for?
[00:04] <tonsofpcs> we usually don't hear text
[00:04] <mDemocritus> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61671/ <-- relevant dmesg lines
[00:04] <tonsofpcs> if we wanted to, we would use a text/screenreader
[00:04] <XXarmory555XX> oh ok lol i get it sorry lol
[00:04] <unop> Shai, also make sure the module isnt explicitly loaded in /etc/modules or /etc/modprobe.d/*
[00:04] <Shai> it's not, already checked
[00:04] <XXarmory555XX> tonsofpcs can u help me?
[00:04] <Piffer> If I have a SATA drive not mounted, is there a way I can find out what filesystem it has?
[00:05] <ShadowdogKGB> Ubuntu is really neat. Some day I'll figure out how to make this Lexmark Z1300 printer work.
[00:05] <unop> Shai, how about? /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[00:05] <soundray> Piffer: with the 'file' command
[00:05] <tonsofpcs> XXarmory555XX: with what?
[00:05] <stefg> mDemocritus: what does that ZOOM mean? is that a ZOOM hd2 or hd $?
[00:05] <Shai> idk, just heard of initramfs......researching it now.
[00:05] <stefg> mDemocritus: what does that ZOOM mean? is that a ZOOM hd2 or hd 4?
[00:05] <XXarmory555XX> ok i tryed to reinstall ubuntu and for some reason i cant
[00:05] <Piffer> file command... I'll google that
[00:06] <unop> Shai, if another module is causing your lirc module to fail at loading, you might need to blacklist that module too -- but that means, you have to know the consequences of blacklisting that particular module
[00:06] <ShadowdogKGB> :)
[00:06] <stefg> eduardo: ok, so your installed system should be in /media/hdc1.. is that right?
[00:06] <mDemocritus> stefg: zoom is the brand... it's an HD16 multitrack hdd recorder
[00:06] <Shai> unop, it's irda, smsc_ircc2 and one other....I'm not worried abotu it.
[00:06] <XXarmory555XX> ??
[00:06] <Odd-rationale> Is there a way to make the dhcp server give me a different ip address?
[00:07] <soundray> Piffer: hold on :)
[00:07] <tonsofpcs> release/renew
[00:07] <soundray> Piffer: example: 'sudo file -s /dev/sda1'
[00:07] <XXarmory555XX> huh?
[00:07] <unop> Shai, well, hope we've given you enough to get this sorted
[00:07] <eduardo> stefg, right.
[00:07] <stefg> mDemocritus: hehe ... funny as the world is, i work for the german zoom distributor. I doubt that it is HID compatible
[00:07] <ShadowdogKGB> One thing Ubuntu has taught me is to have massive amounts of patience.
[00:07] <Shai> unop, it's enough for me to find out if it is ;)
[00:07] <utarpradesh> thanks carbonflux :)
[00:07] <Piffer> siundray: thanks! that was easy :-)
[00:08] <mDemocritus> stefg: that's pretty crazy lol
[00:08] <unop> Odd-rationale, you'll need to tell the DHCP server to give out a different IP address
[00:08] <semi-newb> unop: woohoo! my system still works! thanks so much for your help!
[00:08] <utarpradesh> :(
[00:08] <soundray> !yay | semi-newb
[00:08] <ubotu> semi-newb: Glad you made it! :-)
[00:08] <utarpradesh> Carbonflux: it says command not found
[00:08] <mactaylor> will ubuntu be faster if i put an le-1640 in?
[00:08] <unop> semi-newb, cool, glad to know :)
[00:08] <XXarmory555XX> tonsofpcs r u gunna help me plz
[00:08] <soundray> unop: wow, well done
[00:08] <tonsofpcs> XXarmory555XX: with what?
[00:08] <Odd-rationale> unop: In other words, you mean I need to do it from the server, not from my laptop?
[00:08] <unop> soundray, :)
[00:08] <XXarmory555XX> reinstalling my ubuntu? i asked u like 4 times already
[00:08] <unop> Odd-rationale, pretty much yea, but it depends on your DHCP server tho
[00:08] <Shai> unop, nope, not listed in initramf-tools/modules
[00:09] <mDemocritus> stefg: what makes you think it wouldn't be compatible? does zoom suck at computer interfaces?
[00:09] <utarpradesh> carbonflux: when i do -dxlevel 80 it says command not found
[00:09] <Carbonflux> utarpradesh, you have to put that command line option on the hl2.exe command line, if you are running thru steam you need to set the command line via properties for the game.
[00:09] <mDemocritus> stefg: or just standards compliance :D
[00:09] <Odd-rationale> unop: So it *might* be possible to do it from my laptop?
[00:09] <XXarmory555XX> tonsofpcs reinstalling my ubuntu? i asked u like 4 times already
[00:09] <SilverDawn> Hello, Im trying to get my C-Media CMI8738 working properly under ubuntu linux, For some reason im not getting sound from the central speaker, Yet the card supports 5.1 surround sound and my speakers are a 5.1 system. any ideas?
[00:09] <utarpradesh> i see
[00:09] <utarpradesh> okay thks
[00:09] <soundray> XXarmory555XX: you keep asking and ignoring the replies
[00:09] <Carbonflux> utarpradesh, http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_line
[00:09] <stefg> eduardo: so i need a paste of /media/hdc1/boot/grub/menu.lst in pastebin, along with a listing of 'sudo blkid'
[00:09] <XXarmory555XX> huh? i dint get any reply?
[00:10] <soundray> XXarmory555XX: yeah, you were just too absorbed
[00:10] <utarpradesh> thank you a lot, friend.
[00:10] <unop> Shai, well how about doing a grep in /etc/modprobe.d for those rogue modules -- grep -iER "irda|ircc" /etc/modprobe.d/
[00:10] <Carbonflux> :)
[00:10] <XXarmory555XX> soundray oh..sry...
[00:10] <soundray> XXarmory555XX: the way to reinstall ubuntu is to boot from an install CD and run the installer
[00:10] <eduardo> stefg. can you join nixtutor for just a sec?
[00:10] <unop> Odd-rationale, as far as i know, there is no way a DHCP client can request that kind of control over a DHCP server, in other words, the DHCP client has to accept the address it is given
[00:11] <alan_m> you will lose everything unless you backed it up XXarmory555XX by doing this...as you start with a clean slate.
[00:11] <stefg> mDemocritus: they run a custom OS they run, and they might have found a hackish way to make the device work with win, but this is of course no run-of-the-mill harddisk or mass storage
[00:11] <XXarmory555XX> soundray ok i tryed that i put the installer cd in the disk drive and booted but nothing any diffrent happend and im aware of that thats wut i want
[00:11] <Odd-rationale> unop: ok. what about a static ip? how would I know what numbers to put for a staic ip?
[00:11] <soundray> alan_m: you can do a non-destructive reinstall if you skip the formatting of partitions ( XXarmory555XX)
[00:11] <alan_m> XXarmory555XX, just making sure you were aware, ok :)
[00:12] <mDemocritus> stefg: that figures...
[00:12] <alan_m> soundray, thats with the alternate install cd though correct?
[00:12] <soundray> XXarmory555XX: I don't follow you. What happens when you boot the installer?
[00:12] <mDemocritus> stefg: i wonder if it'll work through control surface mode with ardour... i haven't tried that yet, but it supposedly can work by emulating mackie control modes....
[00:12] <Carbonflux> utarpradesh, one more thing, be sure you are really the latest stable version of wine for best results, a lot of people get this working just by installing wine from the ubuntu repos and installing Steam and thats its, the only issue now seems to be using DirectX 8 because DX9 shaders are slow in wine :)
[00:13] <Carbonflux> really using*
[00:13] <soundray> alan_m: no, it works with the ubiquity installer, too, if you uncheck the formatting tickbox
[00:13] <unop> Odd-rationale, the only thing that diffferentiates a static IP from a dynamic one is the fact that a static one is manually assigned to an interface .. however, if you do assign an IP address to an interface, your DHCP server should take into account that the address is in use and not give that particular one out to other clients
[00:13] <XXarmory555XX> soundray ok its like puting a cd with nothing on it it does nothing its starts normaly and goes to the login screen and stuff it dose everything it supose to do on  regualr boot
[00:13] <alan_m> ah, i just do the standard install, i hardly ever do manual soundray, ill have to check that out sometime.
[00:14] <Shai> unop just my blacklisted entries and something for and alias for irda-utils (has been uninstalled). I'm going to try something else first.
[00:14] <soundray> XXarmory555XX: so it's not booting from the CD. You need to give the CD boot priority in your BIOS setup
[00:14] <Odd-rationale> unop: hmm. ok let me experiment a bit... Thanks for the help!
[00:14] <unop> Odd-rationale, but that's only if the machine is on, if the machine is off and the address can't be pinged, then the DHCP server could give out that address
[00:14]  * Shai gets hammer
[00:14] <mc-george> Guys, for some reason any window in ubuntu doesn't start maximized even though I set them all to that before I close them
[00:14] <Odd-rationale> unop: ok. I know almost zero about networking lol
[00:14] <mDemocritus> stefg: any idea if zoom has been shipping the newer OS version on the HD16s?
[00:14]  * soundray throws himself heroically in front of Shai's computer
[00:15] <XXarmory555XX> soundray o so i eed to go to BIOS got it and wut do i do from there? do i set as boot from cd first?
[00:15]  * User87971 waves hi to everyone!
[00:15] <semi-newb> XXarmory555XX: you can also press delete or F12 or F10 (depending on the notice that comes up at boot) to choose what device to boot from on a one-time basis.
[00:15] <unop> Odd-rationale, ok, well, if you do manually assign an address to an interface, there is a chance that you can get IP address conflicts on your network
[00:15] <alan_m> !hi | User87971
[00:15] <ubotu> User87971: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[00:15] <soundray> semi-newb: only with Phoenix BIOSs though ;)
[00:15] <stefg> mDemocritus: no, sorry... didn't have the opportunity to actually open one of the boxes
[00:15] <semi-newb> every computer I've ever used supports this
[00:15] <XXarmory555XX> semi-newb lol
[00:15] <alan_m> What might we help you with today User87971?
[00:16] <mDemocritus> stefg: eh, no prob... it was worth a shot
[00:16] <User87971> Nothing really, just re-installed ubuntu on one of my computers, it's running great. =)
[00:16] <soundray> semi-newb: then all the computers you've ever used had a Phoenix BIOS
[00:17] <milesmatthias> I'm trying to get libpcap for my ubuntu box but tcpdump.org is down... any suggestions?
[00:17] <alan_m> So, just testing it out then User87971? I see :)
[00:17] <XXarmory555XX> soundray ok i just relized how to i enter BIOS on ubuntu is it the same as it would be on any other comp like f2 or sumthing?
[00:17] <Odd-rationale> unop: so if on another computer the dhcp server gives me ip address <IP_ADDRESS> Can I use that as a static ip address on this computer and the dhcp server will have to give another address to the other comp?
[00:17] <nef> server irc.x10hosting.com
[00:17] <semi-newb> soundray: i'd assume it's pretty common then.
[00:17] <soundray> XXarmory555XX: the BIOS comes with your computer, it's not part of Ubuntu
[00:17] <Odd-rationale> e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:17] <unop> milesmatthias, you can install the libpcap0.8 package
[00:17] <User87971> The very first linux I have used was Red Hat linux back in the 90's. Now the distro is Fedora core I believe.
[00:18] <soundray> semi-newb: indeed, but I have a few machines, including recent ones, with AMI BIOSes
[00:18] <milesmatthias> sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8?
[00:18] <Shai> Nope, I'm out of ideas.
[00:18] <mc-george> can some one please help me with my maximizing problem?
[00:18] <Shai> Say, when I do add stuff to blacklist, I don't have to update.modprobe or whatever do I?
[00:18] <unop> Odd-rationale, the other computer will need to request a new IP address from the DHCP server otherwise a conflict will continue to exist on your network and both computers could get nowhere
[00:19] <Aval0n> where there any performance improvements from feisty to gutsy?
[00:19] <Nith> mc-george: whats the issue?
[00:19] <soundray> mc-george: you need to look into a package like devilspie for remembering window size settings
[00:19] <soundray> !info devilspie
[00:19] <unop> milesmatthias, sure
[00:19] <Nith> e16 has that feature
[00:19] <mc-george> soundtrayL its because they always appear off the screen
[00:20] <Odd-rationale> unop: will the dhcp automatically give a new ip address on the other computer since I'm already using the old on this one?
[00:20] <soundray> mc-george: strange, have you set a correct resolution?
[00:20] <Odd-rationale> *dhcp server
[00:20] <danny_> How do you change your defualt program associations?
[00:20] <milesmatthias> unop, it's already installed but it must not be in a normal place because I can't configure snort
[00:20] <mc-george> yea, 1680*1050  < --- soundray
[00:20] <unop> Odd-rationale, no, the DHCP server has no way of knowing you've done what you've done -- the DHCP server only acts when asked to, so the other machine will need to be rebooted or have it's network interface flapped
[00:21] <DeadLy_sp_> is possible change the background image from bash?????????????
[00:21] <alan_m> DeadLy_sp_, yes it is, but i forget the command to do it.
[00:21] <__mikem> DeadLy_sp_, is it possible to press the ? key only once?
[00:21] <Odd-rationale> unop: ok. Thanks a lot!
[00:21] <milesmatthias> unop, do you know where ubuntu installs libpcap?
[00:21] <unop> milesmatthias, why don't you install snort from the ubuntu repositories?
[00:22] <robert___1111> i took an image with vmware converter and tried to run it on vmware player... i get errors like cannot connect to ide0 and ide1.. is there something i need to do to make this work?
[00:22] <DeadLy_sp_> hehe alan_m _mikem it's more important for me :) i'm searching on google but i dont find info about ir
[00:22] <soundray> robert___1111: probably better to ask in #vmware
[00:22] <LainIwakura> How do I view system information via the command line (my OS for example)?
[00:23] <unop_> milesmatthias, i'm assuming it saves it's shared libraries in /usr/lib/pcap (or something like that under /usr/lib)
[00:23] <DeadLy_sp_> alan_m, please remember ^^
[00:23] <soundray> LainIwakura: uname -a
[00:23] <soundray> LainIwakura: lspci, lshw, lsusb...
[00:23] <soundray> LainIwakura: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[00:23] <LainIwakura> soundray: Thanks
[00:23] <soundray> LainIwakura: lsb_release
[00:24] <milesmatthias> unop, thanks.  I've already started installing snort from source code - where are the ubuntu repositories if i were to do that?
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> milesmatthias: if you have source enabled in your repositories, you could also run sudo apt-get build-dep snort  and it should install libcap for you, then you can comnpile as usual.. but i'd use the one in the repos
[00:24] <unop_> milesmatthias, sudo apt-get install snort :)
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> milesmatthias: system/admin/synaptic package manager, to view packages you can install in a GUI, add/remove sources, etc
[00:24] <LainIwakura> soundray: Any command to view what OS I'm using?
[00:25] <alan_m> DeadLy_sp_, what do you want me to remember?
[00:25] <soundray> LainIwakura: lsb_release -a
[00:25] <unop_> LainIwakura, lsb_release -a
[00:25] <Shai> maybe I'll just write a script to unload and load the modules
[00:25] <jjgauthi> Greetings all, after installing Ubuntu what am I to do next?  I didn't turn into doogie howser like I thought I would
[00:25] <milesmatthias> A Ha!  Thanks everyone!
[00:25] <Tazbobu> how do you use .m3u with amarok?  I tried associating it but it says no suitable input plugin
[00:26] <jtravnick> can anyone help me set up my camcorder to be seen in ubuntu?
[00:26] <unop_> Tazbobu, you might need to convert the .m3u into a playlist format amarok understands first
[00:26] <DeadLy_sp_> alan_m, the command for change the background image :)
[00:26] <LainIwakura> I created a user using adduser <username>. Using su <username> I can switch to that user from root. But why can I not 'sudo apt-get install <package>' from the non-root user? Sudo prompts me for the <username>'s pw instead of the root--is this the problem?
[00:27] <LainIwakura> I find that I can only install packages via 'apt-get install <package>' when I am the root user.
[00:27] <alan_m> DeadLy_sp_, I cant, you can definately look it up in google though
[00:27] <soundray> LainIwakura: no, sudo is supposed to ask for the user password
[00:27] <unop_> DeadLy_sp_, gconftool-2 -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/picture
[00:27] <LainIwakura> soundray: Would 'su apt-get install <package>' work from the non-root user then?
[00:27] <soundray> LainIwakura: for a user to be able to run sudo programs, the user has to be in the admin group.
[00:27] <LainIwakura> soundray: How can I assign that user to the admin group?
[00:27] <mDemocritus> LainIwakura: su -C apt-get...etc is the one
[00:28] <mDemocritus> LainIwakura: or su -c
[00:28] <ijustam> just chiming in to say how i love linux
[00:28] <Shai> LainIwakura - you can edit the sudoer's file so it doesn't ask for apassword.
[00:28] <ijustam> ;)
[00:28] <soundray> LainIwakura: do a 'adduser username admin'
[00:28] <unop_> LainIwakura, if you used sudo -- yes .. dont use su.. ubuntu has no root password
[00:28] <mDemocritus> LainIwakura: unop_ is right.... nevermind
[00:28] <DeadLy_sp_> unop !!!
[00:28] <mattyB> sufi usermod -a -G
[00:28] <DeadLy_sp_> unop_, but i using Xfce4
[00:29] <Nith> !sudo | nith
[00:29] <LainIwakura> soundray: I get 'adduser: The group 'admin' does not exist.'
[00:29] <soundray> Shai: please don't suggest that, it can lead to all kind of troubles, including locked-out users

[00:31] <soundray> LainIwakura: so the installation is provided by a service provider?
[00:32] <sarixe> Kamus_H_Zwisch : i believe you can have chanserv take care of that
[00:32] <thebishop> is anyone finding the Hardy beta to be sluggish as hell

[00:34] <Nith> kjdx: I dont understand your question. You want to sintall apache?
[00:34] <soundray> LainIwakura: I don't really know what to suggest when a system has no admin group. It's absolutely standard for Ubuntu to have a locked root account (that wouldn't allow ssh logins) and at least one user who is part of the admin group and thus has sudo privilege
[00:34] <LainIwakura> mattyB_: Oh my, 'man: command not found'. I need to install this...
[00:35] <mDemocritus> kjdx: i agree with Nith... i have no clue what you're asking
[00:35] <ToddEDM> hey there guys, im setting up a PC for my 6 year old(its an excuse for me to get a new one).. but i was wondering how i can set up a new user that can just use icons from the desktop to start tuxpaint, and GCompris, and some other ones i might find
[00:35] <alan_m> kjdx, if your asking server specific questions you might want to try #ubuntu-server instead.
[00:35] <ToddEDM> i want everything else locked out
[00:35] <unop_> DeadLy_sp_, see http://linuxreviews.org/man/xsetbg/  - xsetbg is part of the xloadimage image on ubuntu
[00:35] <soundray> LainIwakura: 'man' is standard as well. Something went wrong with your installation.
[00:35] <LainIwakura> soundray: Okay, thanks. I'll try and figure this out. The installation seemed to be very minimal, so I am perplexed by a lot of things atm...
[00:35] <hobbitboy> i have a base server install with nothing basically, and i just sudo apt-get install fluxbox...how do i run it now? i don't see anything in /etc/init.d
[00:35] <filosofixit> is there a channel for hardy users?
[00:35] <favorites> holas alguien que me ayude
[00:35] <LainIwakura> soundray: Could be, I'll drop my host a ticket.
[00:35] <alan_m> !hardy | filosofixit
[00:35] <ubotu> filosofixit: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[00:35] <sarixe> filosofixit : #ubuntu+1
[00:36] <soundray> LainIwakura: are you in a busybox shell? Test by running '$0 --version'
[00:36] <unop_> hobbitboy, you need to log in at the console and use the startx command
[00:36] <filosofixit> sarixe : thx :)
[00:36] <sarixe> filosofixit : np
[00:36] <hobbitboy> unop_: haha, oh right, thanks
[00:37] <hobbitboy> oops, guess i need xinit
[00:37] <LainIwakura> soundray: GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
[00:37] <soundray> LainIwakura: not busybox then -- this is a standard shell
[00:37] <unop_> hobbitboy, you mean an .xinitirc file? yes, you need that to mention "startfluxbox"
[00:38] <mattyB_> Lainlwakura: Are you able to run sudo usermod -a -G admin <userToGrantPrivelegesTo>
[00:38] <unop_> s/<userToGrantPrivelegesTo>/$USER/
[00:38] <soundray> mattyB_: why would he, if there is no admin group?
[00:38] <soundray> unop_: you're assuming sudo -- LainIwakura is logged in as root
[00:38] <sixforty> how do I change hostname? (bad connection; I'll read it soon as it gets here :) )
[00:39] <LainIwakura> soundray: I just installed manpages. It is odd that it wasn't in the installation.
[00:39] <soundray> LainIwakura: this is not the only odd thing. I wouldn't trust this installation at all.
[00:39] <mattyB_> soundray: I bug out.  Came in the conversation late and just adding confusion.
[00:39] <smick> I'm having a problems. I've installed from the Cd several times, (trying to dual boot with XP pro.  2 times, it said grub couldn't install. Most recently At the last setp before installation, I clicked Advanced and choose HDA5 for grub install, thinking that HD0 the default must have not allowed it being NTFS??  Anyway, then I rebooted and it just went into windows. Where does grub need to be?
[00:40] <LainIwakura> soundray: Alright, thanks for the red flags. I'll send my host an email now.
[00:40] <mattyB_> q
[00:40] <soundray> LainIwakura: good luck
[00:40] <unop_> soundray, hmm, i wasnt following .. and i was just suggesting an easier way
[00:40] <LainIwakura> soundray: Thanks.
[00:41] <unop_> LainIwakura, are you renting out a machine or something?
[00:41] <LainIwakura> unop_: It's a cheap unmanaged VPS plan that I bought so I could learn how to setup a server.
[00:42] <unop_> LainIwakura, it's not surprising then that everything's not as it should be -- its not that the install is faulty, you just have to know how to workaround all these anomalies
[00:42] <exerdigit> hey guys.. was wondering if anyone could help me out... i installed ubuntu on my cousins laptop, everything was working fine until i installed the spherecrystal theme... now the APPEARANCE settings won't work properly, and there are not icons of any kind in any of the menus.. is there a way to undo, or reinstall the display settings?
[00:42] <stefg> smick: grub has two parts: one bootloader in the MBR, and the actual program dir in /boot/grub ... you need to write the MBR portion to the ...(duh) MBR
[00:42] <hobbitboy> it says /etc/X11/X doesnt exist (after installing fluxbox and xinit), what else do i need
[00:43] <stefg> !grub | smick
[00:43] <ubotu> smick: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[00:43] <LainIwakura> unop_: Yes, that's what I've been doing all day. So was the OS installation (via my control panel) some sort of bare minimum Ubuntu installation?
[00:43] <kasi> hello : I'm a newbie, and I have a problem ; I didn't fany any solution in the docs. The problem is each time I'm playing an ogg file or an mp3, the application freezes whatever it is (vlc, rythmbox,...)

[00:45] <JustJaden> how do I write the ubuntu 7.10 image onto a cd using the standard cd/dvd burner?
[00:45] <soundray> !burniso | JustJaden
[00:45] <ubotu> JustJaden: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[00:46] <unop__> JustJaden, within gnome you should be able to right click the iso and have an option to burn it to CD
[00:46] <JustJaden> Thanks guys
[00:46] <LainIwakura> JustJaden: Make sure you burn it as an .iso
[00:46] <stefg> smick: installing to MBR means choosing a device (like /dev/sda) not a partition (like (dev/sda5)
[00:46] <Rageon> i having trouble with firefox.. keeps closing when i try goto youtube etc... do i alreadyt have flash installed? or what do i need a tar.gz a .tar or a .YUM ?
[00:46] <unop__> LainIwakura, burning the file as-is to CD will not render it bootable :)
[00:46] <unop__> LainIwakura, if thats what you mean
[00:46] <stefg> !flash | Rageon

[00:47] <kindofabuzz> would it boot?
[00:47] <smick> stefg: I think that's what I meant, sda5, rather than HD0 which was the default.

[00:47] <Rageon> aight cheers
[00:47] <soundray> kindofabuzz: that kind of thing works surprisingly well in some cases. Trouble starts mostly when X starts.
[00:48] <stefg> smick: in grub speak you need to install to (hd0) ... in kernel speak that's /dev/hda or sda
[00:48] <blah569_> !RTL8681
[00:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rtl8681 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:48] <smick> stefg: I might be good after trying out the Recovering Ubuntu after installing windows help link from ubotu. Even though that's not exactly what happened, might work.
[00:48] <stefg> smick: that applies

[00:48] <blah569_> gah
[00:49] <smick> stefg: Ok, so the default option that the installation gives you: HD0 normally is correct, but failed sevearl times, so maybe this will help me workaround.
[00:49] <blah569_> I deeply want to install Ubuntu, but I can not get my wireless card to work in the Live CD.
[00:49] <soundray> kindofabuzz: p4/amd won't be a problem
[00:49] <kindofabuzz> basically, i got another computer but don't wanna reinstall and reconfigure everything
[00:49] <LainIwakura> unop__: So was the Ubuntu installation on my virtual server likely some sort of bare minimum installation?

[00:50] <stefg> smick: some BIOS's make trouble .... but resistance is futile (as locutus of grub used to say)
[00:50] <kindofabuzz> sixforty: /etc/hostname
[00:50] <unop> LainIwakura, it does appear to be that way from what you've been telling us .. it's a shame because we can't really support that and even using standard ubuntu documentation would be useless to you
[00:51] <unop> LainIwakura, not all documentation but some
[00:51] <kindofabuzz> soundray: this p4 is 1.5ghz with old sdram, the amd is only 1.2ghz but has ddr, i figure it would be faster
[00:51] <soundray> jtravnick: no specific advice, sorry... but have a look at The Grumpy Editor's Video Journey (http://lwn.net/Articles/261820/)
[00:51] <kindofabuzz> and is overclockable
[00:52] <LainIwakura> unop: Okay thanks.
[00:52] <unop> LainIwakura, if you are not new to linux (ubuntu atleast) it's just a matter of identifying what has changed and working around -- but if you are just learning, it's harder
[00:52] <sixforty> kindofabuzz: just edit /etc/hostname?
[00:52] <kindofabuzz> sixforty: yup
[00:52] <soundray> kindofabuzz: won't make a big  difference
[00:52] <soundray> !hostname | sixforty
[00:52] <ubotu> sixforty: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab

[01:12] <arnath> suppose i am doing "cat * | grep something" in a directory, is there any way to find out which output belongs to which file? :s
[01:12] <Rageon> !flash
[01:12] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[01:12] <smick2112> I'm trying to fix grub, I'm in the live CD.   In terminal, trying to setup(hd0), it says Cannot mount selected partition.
[01:12] <kindofabuzz> i remember seeing something about a ubuntu desktop tutorial somewhere on launchpad.  now i can't find it, anyone got a link?  curious what it is
[01:12] <Rageon> !gnash
[01:12] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[01:13] <smick2112> I believe this is the same problem when installing Ubuntu in the first place and it says grub cannot install. could my partition be locked out somehow?
[01:13] <unop_> arnath, dont use cat like that -- simply use grep -- grep -inHR keyword files
[01:13] <jarlath> Scunizi, I tried that. I tried using the default Google dialog in Evo to put in my username / pass and just got my default calendar...
[01:13] <yordan> 150mb xD
[01:13] <jarlath> Then I tried using the webcal with the iCal link from google.
[01:13] <yordan> it this right ?
[01:13] <jarlath> Evo complained that it couldn't find that.
[01:13] <Scunizi> jarlath, you mean the main calendar? do you have more than one cal?
[01:13] <yordan> for a 3d desktop ?
[01:14] <jarlath> Scunizi, yes. I have two calendars on the one account.
[01:14] <Scunizi> jarlath, then it sounds like you grabbed the link for the primary and did get the one for the secondary..
[01:14] <kindofabuzz> yordan: compiz is more than just a rotating cube
[01:15] <jarlath> Scunizi, when I used the link for the secondary, it didn't work. I'll try again just in case.
[01:15] <jarlath> Scunizi, do you have more than one calendar?
[01:15] <Scunizi> jarlath, you have to go to "Settings" then Calendars.. pick the calendar you want ... I have 5
[01:15] <owen1> how do i add partition in 'prepare partitions' (step 4) - i am trying to install it side by side with vista.
[01:16] <jarlath> Scunizi, I'll try again. It's the iCal link you used is it?
[01:16] <jfcocs> fiuiit...::::!

[01:17] <juice_> how i log in as root?
[01:17] <Scunizi> juice_, use "sudo" in front of the line that needs root access.
[01:17] <jarlath> Scunizi, and did you add as a Google calendar or as a Web Calendar?
[01:17] <Scunizi> jarlath, web
[01:17] <torenhonig> smick: no it vant
[01:17] <juice_> Scunizi: im running that .run file and i need to be root before i launch it
[01:17] <torenhonig> cant*
[01:18] <Scunizi> juice_, type sudo in front of the line to run it. that's how you do things as root
[01:18] <jason> avant i mean
[01:18] <juice_> Scunizi: in fron of what line though?
[01:19] <smick2112> torenhonig:Idon't understand why I can't install grub from the live cd so i can actually get to my ubuntu partition.
[01:19] <juice_> im launching it from clicking on file on desktop
[01:19] <Scunizi> juice_, you'd type "sudo <file_to_run>"
[01:19] <oddchild> hi all... i am in 8.04 and it is not detecting my monitor .. it has everything real big, and when i go to the screen resolutions program i cannot change it... i cannot choose what model it is like in 7.10
[01:19] <torenhonig> are u just using the standard installation cd smick?
[01:19] <jarlath> Hmm. It's gives an error saying it's forbidden now Scunizi. It's a calendar that I'm subscribed to. I didn't make it myself.
[01:19] <smick2112> torenhonid; yes at first, it failed to install grub at the very end several times.
[01:20] <jason> can i get help with avant window manager hear?.... if so i'm trying to get the notification area applet to work but when i add it it does not show, can any one tell me whats wrong?
[01:20] <Scunizi> jarlath, so you can or can't log into the Settings section of that calendar?
[01:20] <smick2112> last time, I clicked advance near the end and chose sda5 for grub boot loader I think.
[01:20] <torenhonig> is your windows partition ntfs smick?
[01:20] <smick2112> torenhonig; yes, for xp
[01:20] <smick2112> ntfs

[01:23] <Scunizi> juice_, CAPS and small case make a difference.. the file name has to be typed exactly
[01:23] <smick2112> yes i can still boot into windows,
[01:23] <juice_> Scunizi: and the file is on my desktop
[01:23] <juice_> Scunizi: i copie n pasted it
[01:23] <Scunizi> juice_, ah.. so do a "cd ~/Desktop

[01:24] <jarlath> Scunizi, would you mind checking the properties of one of you calendars and see if it starts with a webcal://www or a http://www?
[01:24] <juice_> Scunizi: sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.04-pkg1.run   ?
[01:24] <Scunizi> jarlath, sure just a sec
[01:24] <smick2112> torenhonig: properly shut down and then install linux again?
[01:25] <Scunizi> juice_, yes once your in your Desktop directory
[01:25] <smick2112> or try the live cd again?
[01:25] <jarlath> Scunizi, preferrably one that youre subscribed to and not one of your own.
[01:25] <owen1> how to add partition in 8.04 beta installation?
[01:25] <jarlath> Scunizi: Thanks :)
[01:25] <juice_> Scunizi: command not found
[01:25] <tenchi21> hi
[01:25] <juice_> Scunizi: nvm got it
[01:25] <mainde> hi
[01:26] <tenchi21> how do i enable write access to a HFSplus drive?
[01:26] <Scunizi> jarlath, it reads.. webcal://www.google.com/calendar/ical/long number<EMAIL_ADDRESS>number here/basic.ics
[01:26] <torenhonig> smick: hmmmmmmmm. so it copies all the files onto the partition no problem, but when into the fnial steps to install grub it just fails?
[01:26] <owen1> anyone installed 8.04 side by side with windows?
[01:26] <jarlath> Okay, thanks Scunizi. I'll stick at it. I'll be back to pester you again later!
[01:26] <Scunizi> jarlath, np
[01:26] <juice_> Scunizi: it said i couldnt install it... is it because im in a VM?
[01:27] <nathan2> I'm currently working on getting a command line version of xubuntu working, and I have a problem: an installusing dpkg failed halfway through, and now it tries to finish the install every time I use apt-get... is there any way to prevent this?
[01:27] <smick2112> yeah that was a few days ago. I gave up, but today tried again, experimenting by actually creating a swap partition this time and then installing grub to a different spot.
[01:27] <Scunizi> juice_, are you running ubuntu in a VM? if so what VM program.. VMware?
[01:27] <juice_> Scunizi: VMware workstation
[01:27] <torenhonig> smick: well what version of ubuntu are u trying to insatll 7.10?
[01:27] <terminhell> torenhonig: at the final step before installing, there is an "advanced" button to configure where grub is to be installed. by default its (hd0) review the accuracy of this if your using an SCSI drive or something else
[01:28] <smick2112> It's 8.04 alpha.
[01:28] <mainde> i need to install fatx filesystem support in my ubuntu, i have the kernel patch and this small guide (http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/How_to_include_FATX_support_in_a_regular_Linux_kernel) but this is my first try, i've never patched a kernel before, can someone give me some hints?
[01:28] <terminhell> if i disable my GDM ill get a terminal login right? But after i log in will i stay in a terminal or will X startup (default gutsy install)
[01:28] <Scunizi> juice_, that's your issue.. you can't run a propitiatory video driver in a VM.  VMware uses its own drivers.. Have you installed VMWare tools?
[01:28] <brambo> there is another release, newer then 7.10 ?
[01:28] <smick2112> I DL'd the beta last night and my burned CD failed of that, so I went back to my alpha cd.
[01:28] <LjL> brambo: not yet
[01:28] <brambo> LjL: did u think u can help me?
[01:28] <smick2112> but 710 also failed the same way with grub.
[01:29] <xenthro> im using pidgin for irc... which plugin makes everything colour coded?
[01:29] <mainde> first of all i need to know if the guide "can" work is totally outdated/wrong
[01:29] <juice_> Scunizi: no not yet, can i use VM tools to do it?
[01:29] <Cade> I just tried to install the desktop 7.10 version of ubuntu today, and I can't get it to boot up. In another room, someone told me that the kernel can't see my drive or my controller
[01:29] <torenhonig> did u try a manual grub install smick
[01:29] <Scunizi> xenthro, do yourself a favor and install xchat..
[01:29] <LjL> brambo: type « sudo apt-get -f install » in a terminal and pastebin the output
[01:29] <jarlath> Scunizi: would you mind telling me if in your Google Calendars, any of them appear under 'Other Calendars'? That's where the one I'm interested in is at.
[01:29] <smick2112> i am in the live cd now, i was trying to do that right now.
[01:29] <xenthro> Scunizi: I use it as well, but I am trying to cut down on redundancy
[01:29] <Scunizi> juice_, don't missunderstand.. you'll never be able to install that driver in ubuntu as long as ubuntu is running in a VM
[01:30] <torenhonig> what kind of cammands were you using?
[01:30] <juice_> Scunizi: WEAK!
[01:30] <Scunizi> jarlath, in EVo they appear under "On the Web"
[01:30] <smick2112> in terminal I write "setup (hd0) like the "recover windows" help page says and it says "failed ot mount"
[01:30] <juice_> Scunizi: thanks tho
[01:30] <arthurmaciel> hi there
[01:30] <nathan2> deo
[01:30] <nathan2>           driver in a VM.  VMware uses its own drivers.. Have you installed
[01:30] <nathan2>           VMWare tools?
[01:30] <nathan2> -:- SignOff tenchi21: #ubuntu (Client Quit)
 there is another release, newer then 7.10 ?
[01:30] <FloodBot1> nathan2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:31] <smick2112> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows from this page I'm following directions.
[01:31] <jarlath> Scunizi, I mean in the actual Google Calendar web page. I think we might be talking about different types of calendars.
[01:31] <owen1> how to add partition in 8.04 installation?
[01:31] <smick2112> even though it's not the exact problem.
[01:31] <LjL> !hardy > owen1    (owen1, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:31] <Scunizi> juice_, thats a function of VMware....  you can install vmware tools to make everything smother..
[01:31] <smick2112> I thought it was a good way to manual install grub
[01:31] <brambo> LjL: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:31] <jarlath> Scunizi: It's not listed under 'My Calendars' for me, but 'Other Calendars'
[01:31] <Cade> I've tried installing ubuntu twice and I can't get it to boot up.
[01:31] <LjL> brambo: « sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[01:31] <Scunizi> jarlath, ah.. just a sec.
[01:31] <arthurmaciel> I've installed ubuntu on an laptop, and would like to know how can I test my harddrive for bad blocks
[01:31] <jarlath> Scunizi: Thank you so much.
[01:32] <Scunizi> jarlath, no they appear under My Calendars.. under Other Calendars I have Phases of the Moon, US Holidays etc.
[01:32] <brambo> nathan2: i dont think so...not yet anyway
[01:32] <windosor> Does ubuntu come with gnome preinstalled or you have to install it manually later?
[01:32] <torenhonig> it comes with
[01:32] <brambo> LjL: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 13: getopt: not found
[01:32] <brambo> Terminating...
[01:32] <jarlath> Scunizi, so the calendars under 'Other Calendars' are not synced with your Evo?
[01:32] <windosor> oh
[01:32] <windosor> ok
[01:33] <Scunizi> windosor, ubuntu comes with gnome if you dowloaded ubuntu,, kde if you downloaded kubuntu and xfcd4 if you did xubuntu
[01:33] <LjL> brambo: uhm, ouch. i think i need the whole output though, not just that line - use the pastebin
[01:33] <Scunizi> jarlath, they are..
[01:33] <Cade> Can someone help me? Ubuntu can't see my hard drive
[01:33] <Tortured> windosor, server does not come with a window manager by default also
[01:33] <Scunizi> jarlath, sorry .. under other calendars.. no..
[01:33] <brambo> LjL: do u have msn or ne thing? its hard to catch all u say on here
[01:33] <osxdude> ok
[01:33] <osxdude> okokok
[01:33] <osxdude> uh
[01:33] <jarlath> Scunizi, ah. Okay. Thanks Scunizi. I guess it's not supported at present.
[01:34] <LjL> brambo, your IRC client should highlight lines that i say mentioning your nickname in a different color. doesn't it?
[01:34] <Scunizi> jarlath, that would be nice.. It's tough getting holidays into evo..
[01:34] <brambo> LjL: yea but the room scrolls so fast
[01:34] <LjL> and brambo, IRC allows for private messages (although you need to be registered to this network)
[01:34] <Zoem> how do I add sinks to pulse audio?
[01:34] <J^son> my printer is connected properly and ubuntu sees the printer... but i am unable to print... can someone please help?
[01:35] <osxdude> I'm installing Ubuntu 7.10 through the alternate install disc, and it seems stuck at Configuring apt (40%), Scanning the mirror. The disc is not running and niether is the wireless or the HDD.
[01:35] <Scunizi> J^son, what kind of printer and how is it connected?
[01:35] <Odd-rationale> osxdude: how long?
[01:35] <jarlath> Scunizi: Yes. My band uses it to let everyone know where the gigs are at but only the bass player has access because he set it up. Oh well, I'll try the Sunbird plugin and see how I fair.
[01:35] <jarlath> Scunizi: Thanks again!
[01:35] <osxdude> Odd-rationale: it's been there for about maybe 3 mins
[01:35] <Scunizi> jarlath, np :)
[01:35] <J^son> Scunizi, HP Laserjet 1100 connected through a serial port
[01:35] <Odd-rationale> osxdude: are you connected to the net?
[01:36] <osxdude> Odd-rationale: Honestly, I have no idea.
[01:36] <Scunizi> J^son, serial meaning usb? or LPT or old fashioned 9pin?
[01:36] <siraj> how do i install realplayer please
[01:36] <LjL> !real | siraj
[01:36] <ubotu> siraj: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:36] <osxdude> OOH! Odd-rationale it's just jumped up to 80%!
[01:36] <J^son> Scunizi, OLD LPT
[01:36] <Odd-rationale> osxdude: yeah that step can take a while it is normal
[01:36] <osxdude> Ok, so it's not frozen.
[01:36] <osxdude> Thanks, Odd-rationale
[01:36] <Scunizi> J^son, did you go to System/Admin/Printing and add it there?
[01:36] <arthurmaciel> is there a way to see if a hard disk has bad blocks on ubuntu? fsck does the job?
[01:37] <Zoem> how do I add sinks to pulse audio?
[01:37] <Odd-rationale> osxdude: it tries to connect to the net. if connection times out, it will continue nonethelesss
[01:37] <LjL> arthurmaciel: there is a command "badblocks"
[01:37] <J^son> Scunizi, it was working before...
[01:37] <Ward1983> i keep having trouble with connecting to the mysql database mythtv sets up, how can i check if mysql is running?
[01:37] <Scunizi> J^son, before what.. did anything change? or did it just stop?
[01:37] <osxdude> Ward1983: try #ubuntu-mythtv
[01:37] <J^son> it just stopped
[01:37] <LjL> arthurmaciel: have you considered, however, monitoring your HD's state using the SMART sensors? (the "smartmontools" package can be used to query them)
[01:38] <J^son> Scunizi, it just stopped
[01:38] <Scunizi> J^son, ok.. go to a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[01:38] <Crshman> hi all, i'm trying to add a drive to a software raide i have and it says: "mdadm: cannot find /dev/sda1: No such file or directory" however /dev/sda exists just not /dev/sda1
[01:38] <Crshman> how can i recreate /dev/sda1?
[01:39] <Scunizi> Crshman, did you look for sda1 in /media? just an idea.. I don't know anything about raid
[01:39] <J^son> Scunizi, that's done... do i try printing now?
[01:39] <elpargo> is there a way to eject the cd and use my drive from within the liveCD?
[01:39] <Scunizi> J^son, yes.. if it doesn't work we'll go to step 2
[01:39] <brambo> LjL: I had a registered nick here but i forgot my password...can i just make a new one? n how?
[01:39] <Ward1983> osxdude, people are all afk or ignore me there
[01:40] <J^son> Scunizi, that did not work
[01:40] <osxdude> Ward1983: Ah ok
[01:40] <SpookyET> I'm trying to exclude paths from backups, but it does not seem to be working http://www.paste2.org/p/18154
[01:40] <kindofabuzz> i still haven't figured out why ubuntu says harddrives are scsi when they are not
[01:40] <Ward1983> osxdude, and in #mythtv they just say wrong channel
[01:40] <Zoem> how do I add sinks to pulse audio?
[01:40] <unop_> elpargo, nope, the liveCD session depends on the contents of the CD, if you were to pop out the CD, the session would probably fail
[01:40] <Scunizi> J^son, ok.. go to Firefox and in the address bar type http://localhost:631
[01:40] <arthurmaciel> LjL: thanks
[01:40] <elpargo> unop_: great... now how I burn a CD :(
[01:40] <Crshman> Scunizi, it's not in /media
[01:40] <Ward1983> why do all the good apps have to be stupidly hard to install and have the most annoying arrogant people to give support
[01:40] <osxdude> elmargol: no CD burner?
[01:41] <Crshman> Is there a way to rescan the harddrives on my system?
[01:41] <Scunizi> Crshman, like I said.. just an idea..
[01:41] <J^son> Scunizi, I'm there
[01:41] <Ward1983> then they develop mythbunto to make life easyer, and i have the same f***ing problem with it
[01:41] <osxdude> Crshman:: restart?
[01:41] <unop_> elpargo, you'll have to use another burner or copy those files to a usb device or the harddrive even and burn them later
[01:41] <elpargo> why people always reply to elmargol :)
[01:41] <elux> hey guys
[01:41] <Crshman> osxdude, I can't restart this box it's a server and people are using the array =(
[01:41] <Cade> I have a fresh Ubuntu desktop 7.10 install that hangs when it tries to mount the root filesystem. Apparently it the kernel can't see the hard drive or can controller. Can anyone help?
[01:41] <Scunizi> J^son, what you're looking at is CUPS.. it's what drives the system for printing. click the printer tab and see if your printer is listed.
[01:41] <elux> does anyone know of any usb to serial drivers?
[01:42] <Piffer> If my wireless is showing when I do lspci, but it's not showing up so that I can use it, how can I fix that? Intel Centrino, ipw2200
[01:42] <elpargo> unop, osxdude: I'm on a laptop and I have only 1 drive, as for the extenal that is what I don't want, I need to get at least 30GB out of this...
[01:42] <J^son> Scunizi, my printer is listed
[01:42] <osxdude> Crshman: Oh, wow, i have no idea how to rescan. Start GParted and mount it from there?
[01:42] <Ward1983> how can i check if mysql-server is running please?
[01:42] <kindofabuzz> no offense but i don't get mythbuntu, why would you wanna watch tv on your computer?  tv is evil! =)
[01:42] <Scunizi> J^son, just a sec. I'm trying to install the same printer even though I don't have one.
[01:42] <unop_> elpargo, 30GB wont fit on a CD anyway and there's no way to do magic if something is impossible :)
[01:43] <J^son> Scunizi, Ok.. Thank you
[01:43] <torenhonig> does anybody know anything obout postfix in here?
[01:43] <elpargo> unop_: yes I know but I'll burn several dvds....
[01:43] <unop_> elpargo, you can't eject the liveCD when it is in use -- simple as.
[01:43] <Scunizi> J^son, you did say "lasar jet" right?
[01:43] <elpargo> unop_: yes thank you.
[01:44] <J^son> Scunizi, HP Laserjet 1100
[01:44] <Scunizi> J^son, is it an all in one.. or the old battle ax of a reliable printer?
[01:45] <J^son> Scunizi, the old battle-ax
[01:45] <Ward1983> pfff im never helping anyone again
[01:45] <J^son> Scunizi, its like a tank
[01:45] <huy> hi, when i tried to access my wireless network, using the WEP key, i can't connect.. is there a different way to enter wep key without using gui?
[01:45] <kindofabuzz> unop_: is there not a way to put all the livecd into ram, so if you only have one burner you can eject it and burn stuff?
[01:46] <kindofabuzz> i know with systemrescuecd you can load it all into ram
[01:46] <torenhonig> why dont u just install it
[01:46] <Scunizi> J^son, when you did the install which driver did you install?  from HPs site it says to use the hplip drivers.
[01:46] <Cade> can someone help me please? I've been burned by windows so many times. I don't want to go back.
[01:46] <unop_> kindofabuzz, i'm sure there is -- but the liveCD would have to be created in that fashion for it to be possible, and the ubuntu liveCD isnt made that way (yet?)
[01:46] <brambo> LjL: what does i need to paste on pastebin again? or are u busy my friend?
[01:47] <J^son> Scunizi, I had downloaded it from HP
[01:47] <LjL> brambo, the output of « sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[01:48] <DenKain> Greetings all
[01:48] <brambo> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6242/
[01:49] <blah569_> I have read the wikis, but I can not find out how to get Ubuntu working with a RTL8186 wireless card.
[01:49] <Scunizi> J^son, the link takes you to sourceforge.. hplip is an opensource driver.... did you follow their instructions for installation? You probably should have installed hplip from Synaptic.. its in ther.
[01:49] <Scunizi> J^son, synaptic is under System/Admin/Synaptic
[01:49] <J^son> Scunizi, I don't remember going to sourceforge
[01:50] <unop_> brambo, you could try this command to help.  sudo apt-get install util-linux
[01:50] <blah569_> Does anyone know of a guide to my question?
[01:50] <unop_> brambo, and then run LjL's command again
[01:50] <LjL> brambo: you seem to have somehow managed to mess up your system in an original way :) try « sudo apt-get install util-linux »
[01:51] <Scunizi> J^son, when I looked for the drivers on hp's site it had a link to them.. that link takes you to sourceforge.net.. not really an issue.. you might try installing hplip from synaptic and reinstall the printer giving it a different name.
[01:51] <LjL> unop_: is your dpkg -S much faster than mine, or have you encountered this before?
[01:51] <SpookyET> I'm trying to run a cron, but it's not working
[01:51] <brambo> LjL: that don't do anything
[01:51] <unop_> LjL, he isn't the first one i've seen with getopt missing .. two or three people have had it missing.. dunno why really
[01:51] <Scunizi> J^son, unfortunatly I've gotta run.. someone here should be able to help you more.  Good luck.
[01:51]  * Scunizi is away: Honey Do List calls
[01:51] <SpookyET> i want it to run in the next 5 minutes, but it isn't doing anything
[01:51] <LjL> brambo: how, won't do anything? it definitely should say something - anything at all
[01:51] <Cade> Can someone help me please?
[01:52] <mDemocritus> !ask | Cade
[01:52] <ubotu> Cade: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[01:52] <brambo> LjL: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:52] <Shadow420> BLAH
[01:52] <unop_> LjL, i use packages.ubuntu.com -- but with a firefox keyword setup ;) called dpkg-S :)
[01:52] <SpookyET> 55 20 30 3 * /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.weekly/backup.sh
[01:52] <SpookyET> shouldn't that work
[01:52] <LjL> unop_, uhm, util-linux is depended upon by ubuntu-minimal
[01:52] <Cade> I've asked several times. I thought maybe getting someone's attention first might help
[01:53] <LjL> brambo: try this: « sudo apt-get --download-only util-linux ; sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux*.deb »
[01:53] <torenhonig> i cant get my damn thunderbird to send mails from my server to the external world but i can with the terminal..... what is going on?
[01:53] <elux> when i plug in my usb to serial adapter cable, it can see in my messages log that it connects, but then in the end it just disconnects without be unplugging it .. any ideas why?
[01:53] <mDemocritus> !repeat | Cade
[01:53] <ubotu> Cade: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:53] <Shadow420> hey I am trying to use Windows bootloader I followed the tutorials but anytime I try to load GRUB using ubuntu.bin or bootsect.lnx and all came up is just GRUB
[01:53] <Freenod2> Hi everybody. Do you know how to add a menu item for all users?
[01:54] <Robert8915> hey
[01:54] <tsrk> How do I add my user to a group with the command line?
[01:54] <Shadow420> no listing of my ubuntu install
[01:54] <LjL> !adduser | tsrk
[01:54] <ubotu> tsrk: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo
[01:54] <unop_> LjL, well, more than just that, util-linux is needed by pretty much anything - so to see getopt missing, could mean the file it was deleted somehow, not in $PATH anymore, or the postinst scripts are referring to it in the wrong location (perhaps?) .. i'm not sure
[01:54] <brambo> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6243/
[01:55] <LjL> brambo: my bad, the command should have been « sudo apt-get --download-only install util-linux ; sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux*.deb »
[01:55] <Robert8915> if i get an error when installing right after it installs the base system and i have used serveral different install cds what's wrong
[01:55] <tsrk> how do I show all users and groups?
[01:55] <tsrk> the check box is gone
[01:55] <Robert8915> it returns, i believe, error one
[01:55] <icesword> LjL, hello
[01:55] <LjL> unop_: the postinst isn't calling it by path, just "getopt"
[01:55] <xp_prg> I want to build a more up to date xen kernel on my ubuntu, anyone know how I can do that in an ubuntu fesity specific way?
[01:56] <brambo> LjL: ok it asked me to hit Y to continue, now I gotta get my  Unbuntu disc, gimme a few mins
[01:56] <Robert8915> anyone?
[01:56] <Shadow420> hey I am trying to use Windows bootloader I followed the tutorials but anytime I try to load GRUB using ubuntu.bin or bootsect.lnx and all came up is just GRUB the loader doesn't bot so how do I fix this?
[01:56] <nonewmsgs> i backed up my old folder and moved it to a new hard drive but some things seem a bit...off like evolution is no longer configured and i don't know where my missing messages are
[01:56] <brambo> LjL: my DVD drive isn't opening! wow this is a bit odd!
[01:57] <deadlock> My cpatured sound audio is now crackling and doesnt work properly, is there a way to reset my settings or something. Its only recently stoppd working.
[01:57] <brambo> LjL: is there anyway I can get it to get the files it needs from the internet?
[01:57] <LjL> brambo, of course - it should get them from the internet.
[01:57] <unop__> brambo, you can work without the DVD, just remove or comment the line mentioning cdrom in /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:57] <osxdude> brambo, ht it with a hamme
[01:57] <osxdude> r
[01:57] <unop__> brambo, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:58] <SilverDawn> Hey all, Does anyone know of a fix for the firefox flash crashes
[01:58] <Robert8915> what do i do if i get a returned error 1 during install?
[01:58] <jason> how to i remove the top taskbar ware the time and all is displayed in gusty gibbon ?
[01:58] <jason> useing gnome
[01:59] <levander> Is there an Ubuntu standard/recommended GNOME DVD burning application?  I don't want to use k3b because I don't use KDE.
[01:59] <Robert8915> right click it
[01:59] <brambo> LjL: It is not letting me let it get them from the internet, I am trying to remove cdrom from my sources list
[01:59] <jason> i dont see a option for remove this
[01:59] <osxdude> jason: Right click an emty space and click "Remove panel"
[01:59] <unop__> levander, i believe the gnome equivalent is gnome-baker (iirc)
[01:59] <torenhonig> Brasero seems pretty cool

[02:01] <phynix> SilverDawn does it crash like after the first 4 secs of a video
[02:01] <LjL> brambo, hit ctrl+c.
[02:01] <SilverDawn> phynix, nope just crashes lots lol
[02:01] <LjL> brambo: then « gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list », and remove the line that mentions the CD.
[02:02] <phynix> SilverDawn Firfox eventually crashes when I watch a lot of youtube videos. Be nice when they finally fix it
[02:02] <brambo> LjL: there is 2 lines at the top that mention cdrom
[02:02] <LjL> brambo: well remove both
[02:02] <jason> how to i remove the main pannle in gusty gibbon?
[02:02] <LjL> brambo: or, comment them out by adding a # in front of them
[02:02] <phynix> jason are you trying to remove all of the panals
[02:02] <unop__> jason, right click, remove?
[02:03] <huy> does anyone know how to make wep key works?
[02:03] <phynix> you can't remove all of them
[02:03] <brambo> You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again
[02:03] <torenhonig> why would you watn to anyways?
[02:03] <LjL> brambo, did you include the "gksudo"?
[02:03] <phynix> remove all of the panals?
[02:03] <Shadow420> hey I am trying to use Windows bootloader I followed the tutorials but anytime I try to load GRUB using ubuntu.bin or bootsect.lnx and all came up is just GRUB the loader doesn't boot so how do I fix this?
yes i want to remove them all
[02:04] <brambo> LjL: that is what I get when i try to close the sources list after # out anything to do with cdrom
[02:04] <unop__> jason, alt+f2 -> killall gnome-panel
[02:04] <phynix> jason i had to do a bit of voodo magic to do it
[02:04] <phynix> i have a post on how to
[02:04] <magicswordx1_> hey everyone...my third day on ubuntu... and I really like it...just need help installing
[02:04] <LjL> brambo: yes, but did you include the "gksudo" in the command i gave you to edit the file in the first place?
 p,m me
[02:04] <LjL> brambo: or in other words, were you asked for a password?
[02:04] <LDS_Trooper> Greetings.. where can I ask about support for a certain GFX Card?
[02:04] <izinucs> hre
[02:05] <izinucs> here
[02:05] <unop__> LjL, in other other words -- pay attention!! :)
[02:05] <LDS_Trooper> ok let me grab the specs
[02:05] <dwhsix> any suggestions on getting wireless working on toshiba satellite p150?  usually wireless Just Works
[02:05] <brambo> LjL: i had already typed my password in the terminal before that command
[02:05] <LjL> brambo: that doesn't matter
[02:05] <dwhsix> Ubuntu sees the device, but I can't get it to show up as an interface
[02:05] <LDS_Trooper> The card is a zotec nvidia gforce 8800 gt
[02:05] <LDS_Trooper> I have more info if needed
[02:06] <LjL> brambo: ok look, nevermind, close the editor, and do « sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list », and remove the CD lines from that editor. use ctrl+x to save and exit. do include the "sudo".

[02:07] <slim> brambo, do like i did. the heck w/ sudo. enable log in as root
[02:07] <LjL> slim: no, thanks. don't recommend that.
[02:07] <slim> works for me
[02:07] <LjL> !works for me
[02:07] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[02:08] <magicswordx1_> can anyone assist me with the steps to install Flasher player for linux
[02:08] <LDS_Trooper> izinucs, any idea how long before proper drivers will be available?
[02:08] <LjL> !flash | magicswordx1_
[02:08] <ubotu> magicswordx1_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[02:09] <unop__> slim, using sudo is logging on as root
[02:09] <phynix> jason get the pm?
[02:09] <izinucs> LDS_Trooper, i think but don't know for sure.. that they will be in the next version out late april  but you can install the binary ones.. that card is pretty new
[02:09] <slim> if not being able to save even in stable releases is stability
[02:09] <dwhsix> do I need to have anything about ath0 in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[02:10] <dwhsix> I suspect the wireless may have been turned off when I did the ubuntu install... sheesh...
[02:10] <LDS_Trooper> izinucs, yes thanks... I am asking for a friend who is looking for a Distro that would support the card and its the one thing that he didn't like about Ubuntu
[02:10] <brambo> LjL: okay once i delete those two lines?
[02:10] <unop__> dwhsix, your interface will work (albeit not so well) if it doesnt have an entry in the interfaces file -- it wont render it unusable
[02:11] <jimmygoon> slim, not being able to save what?
[02:11] <slim> edits to files that belong to root
[02:11] <izinucs> LDS_Trooper, it will support it now.. just that you have to install the binary from nvidia.. in the interim he can use the generic nv driver or install the next versions beta download.. it's pretty complete but occationally breaks with updates then gets fixed the next day or so.
[02:11] <dwhsix> unop__: ok, thx... that's what I thought
[02:11] <jimmygoon> slim, thats what sudo is for?
[02:12] <slim> yeah with too much hassle
[02:12] <jimmygoon> slim, if you need to elevate to a super user terminal there are plenty of ways to do that with sudo
[02:12] <slim> i just log in as root amnd i am good to go
[02:12] <jimmygoon> slim, the ONLY need for "root" is to have a root graphical login which is bad idea no matter what
[02:13] <jimmygoon> slim, sudo -s will give you  a superuser terminal
[02:13] <LDS_Trooper> izinucs, Excellent thanks! I will pass this along
[02:13] <dannyboylawless_> i installed samba and had my smb network running flawless then restarted and need to start it up again and was pointed here for help with init scripts (i'm really new to linux)
[02:13] <izinucs> LDS_Trooper, no problem.. are you using ubuntu?
[02:13] <dvoid> when im recording a 3d application with "recordMyDesktop" my keyboard and mouse inputs gets really delayed, fps is still good but io seems to lagbehind alot, does anyone know if there is anything i can do to prevent this?
[02:13] <brambo> LjL: how do I save this now?
[02:13] <LjL> brambo: ctrl+x

[02:13] <izinucs> good

[02:16] <JarG0n> LDS_Trooper> ok, thanks.   Yahoo

[02:17] <dwhsix> hmm - so when I do a lshw, what does it mean that the wireless device says "*-network UNCLAIMED"?
[02:17] <JarG0n> cool, will do
[02:18] <shnastybiznastic> alirght, I have a system whose power failed in the middle of a system update, what's the protocol for getting it back up and running?
[02:18] <brambo> LjL: ok i did  sudo apt-get --download-only install util-linux ; sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux*.deb its doing stuff now
[02:18] <LjL> good
[02:18] <singh> shnastybiznastic: What happens when you restart?
[02:18] <brambo> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6244/
[02:19] <shnastybiznastic> singh, I don't know, it's in another state right now, I"m doing this over the phone
[02:19] <XceII>  I just re-did x, and forgot to set the key board to 105, its @ 104, when i try to change it, it gives me errors, how can i fix this, thanks.
[02:19] <Pir8> how can I find out what init level I am running at ?
[02:20] <shnastybiznastic> singh, if it were in my lap I could give you the exact error that apt throws, but I have to wait on the help...
[02:20] <brambo> LjL: you still here?
[02:20] <zobonov> necesito informacion
[02:20] <LjL> brambo: yes. now « sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[02:20] <LjL> !es | zobonov
[02:20] <ubotu> zobonov: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[02:20] <singh> shnastybiznastic: so apt-get does give you an error message when you try to re-do apt-get update/upgrade ?
[02:20] <izinucs> shnastybiznastic, maybe you can vnc into the box.. if ssh isn't available
[02:21] <zobonov> ok thanks
[02:21] <osxdude> lol, zobonove spoke ingles
[02:21] <osxdude> ok, it's still stuck at 85%
[02:21] <osxdude> it's been there for like 10 or 20 mins now
[02:21] <brambo> LjL: ok back to brambo@brambo-desktop:~$
[02:22] <LjL> brambo: now « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal », then hopefully you should be all set
[02:22] <LjL> brambo: actually, perhaps you'll need a « sudo apt-get -f install » too
[02:22] <shnastybiznastic> izinucs, perhaps, but if i remember correctly, ssh is closed off by default in ubuntu (it is a client's laptop), and I already have a dude at the machine
[02:22] <brambo> LjL: will this format my drive at all?
[02:22] <LjL> ... format your drive?
[02:23] <shnastybiznastic> brambo, no, it will only install some packages
[02:23] <spork969> ok, lets say i have a .deb package. how do i install the software included in the package?
[02:23] <shnastybiznastic> spork969, right click, there should be an install option
[02:24] <LjL> spork969: by double-clicking on the file... although you should only be installing packages specifically intended for your version of Ubuntu, or you might end up having trouble.
[02:24] <spork969> shnastybiznastic, thanks

[02:26] <Strife89> I offer for someone to VIEW my computer via Remote Desktop to assist me. :)
[02:26] <spork969> LjL, shnastybiznastic, is there a way for me to install the package so it appears under the applications toolbar?
[02:26] <Strife89> Command provided on request.....
[02:26] <brambo> LjL: do i need to restart? cause .deb and such still do not open
[02:26] <LjL> spork969, if the package is a GUI application, and is well behaved, it will appear.
[02:27] <LjL> brambo, do they say anything peculiar? errors?
[02:27] <spork969> LjL, thanks
[02:27] <shnastybiznastic> spork969, if it isn't well behaved, you can just make an icon in the menu for it
[02:27] <izinucs> spork969, depends you might have to add it to the menu later
[02:27] <brambo> LjL: no they just don't do nothing...nothing opens
[02:27] <spork969> shnastybiznastic, izinucs, how do i do that?
[02:27] <LjL> brambo: try doing, from a terminal, « gdebi path-and-name-of-the-package.deb »

[02:29] <Dr_willis> norty,  as a extreme measuer you can restart X with alt-ctrl-backspace.. that will force a X restart
[02:29] <silent> norty: try a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
 i got it working thanks
[02:29] <usser> norty: sudo reboot should restart the machine
[02:29] <Dr_willis> dannyboylawless_,  if you install the samba package it shoudl allready do so.
[02:29] <phynix> jason did that post help?
[02:29] <izinucs> norty, maybe /etc/init.d/gdm restart

[02:31] <brambo> LjL: maybe the   .deb files I am getting just don't work cause I am trying ones I already have and they come up, asking if I want to reinstall the package..
[02:32] <efirewick> Strife89: did you install nfs?
[02:32] <aaron_> can any of you help me with getting compiz to work on the aluminum imac

[02:32] <brambo> LjL: maybe you can help me fix my update manager?
[02:32] <spork969> i cannot find the newly installed package, any ideas where it could have been installed?
[02:32] <LjL> brambo: i think your update manager will work now, have you tried?
[02:32] <ethan961> aaron_, use restricted-manager to get the ATI drivers necessary for mompiz
[02:32] <ToddEDM> hey there guys, im setting up a PC for my 6 year old(its an excuse for me to get a new one).. but i was wondering how i can set up a new user that can just use icons from the desktop to start tuxpaint, and GCompris, and some other ones i might find... i want everything else locked down
[02:33] <brambo> LjL: yes I've tryed I get the same message as before we did this..
[02:33] <LjL> brambo: which is?
 Remind me how to check for NFS....... Please?
[02:33] <Dr_willis> ToddEDM,  kde has a Koisk mode, or you could use some other window manager/desktop and customize it.
[02:33] <cferriby> so I have 7.10 duel booted on my laptop. i have intel 945 intergrated graphics and i noticed that the display driver that was being used wasn't the one for the 945 or what i thought.... so i changed it to what had 945 in it but than when i rebooted i just got a black screen. is there anyway to fix this usin the rescue boo option or anything???
[02:33] <shnastybiznastic> spork969, what's the package?
[02:33] <Dr_willis> ToddEDM,  not sure if gnome has a koisk mode or not.
[02:33] <spork969> shnastybiznastic, openlierox
[02:33] <jason> how do i open a termanal useing the keybord?
[02:33] <aaron_> I need help with getting 3d acceleration to work on the Radeon HD 2600 PRO
[02:34] <shnastybiznastic> spork969, does it launch from a terminal with that command?
[02:34] <brambo> LjL: Not all updates can be installed.  Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.  This can be caused by:
[02:34] <efirewick> strife89: system -> administrator -> shared folders
[02:34] <LjL> brambo: type « sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console, pastebin the output
[02:34] <Dr_willis> jason,  one way - alt-f2 run 'gnome-terminal' or some other terminal app.
[02:34] <ethan961> aaron_, use restricted manager to install the drivers
[02:34] <aaron_> well just a sec
[02:34] <spork969> shnastybiznastic, yes it does, how do i make a launcher for it?
[02:34] <LjL> brambo: also, pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:34] <ToddEDM> thanks Dr_willis
[02:34] <izinucs> cferriby, ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a terminal and re-edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf back to the original driver
[02:34] <phynix> jason you can hit alt - f1 to get the menu
[02:34] <aaron_> ethan961 this is the dialouge i get Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers.
[02:34] <jason> ok Dr_willis
[02:35] <jason> ok
[02:35] <jason> lol
[02:35] <jason> ty
[02:35] <asymptote> Is there any reason this configuration wouldn't start dhcpd? : This is not working :(  I try starting the service using /sbin/service dhcpd start and I'm getting a "FAILED".  Just to see if it would run, I have basic configuration in the man pages:

[02:38] <Zoem> hi, can anyone help me get my sound working?
 Two lines: "CARRDESKTOP", and "Windows Network" (only one Windows computer is on right now).
[02:38] <kingtech> Hello to everyone
[02:38] <LjL> brambo: bah, the update seems fine to me. perhaps, but i'm just guessing, the update manager refuses to update because of the KDE4 repositories. anyway, i'd hit "Y" on the dist-upgrade and let it work, and then test again
[02:38] <jason> phynix: nome what>?
[02:38] <valros> hey guys, whats the easiest Intel ALSA driver download or tutorial
[02:38] <jason> phynix:  never herd of it
[02:39] <ethan961> aaron_, is there any mention of direct rendering in "glxinfo"?

[02:40] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> FloodBot:

[02:40] <jason> great kingtech
[02:40] <ubotu> valros: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[02:41] <LjL> brambo: yes, that's why i'm suspecting that, although on my system, the update manager couldn't care less about the fact that the KDE4 repository is not authenticated... (i'm using the KDE 3 update manager)
[02:41] <kingtech> actually can we be friends?
[02:41] <crappycaribou> B-rabbit: it is free and easy to install, so it is worth trying if you are interested

[02:42] <aaron_> hey ethan961 you know what is going on
[02:42] <izinucs> B-rabbit, run the live cd so it won't touch the HD.. it'll run slower.much.slower.. but it will give you a good idea

[02:56] <jason> kingtech:  yeah
[02:56] <aaron_> ethan961 I am unsure what to do
[02:56] <jason> lol
[02:56] <ethan961> aaron_, change "vesa" in your xorg.conf to "fglrx" then
[02:56] <Jkreef> kingtech: "/msg nickserv register password"
[02:56] <jason> when i tryed to swich back, i couldent
[02:56] <Jkreef> without the quotes
[02:56] <jason> but i got it back now
[02:57] <nikrud>     /msg nickserv register <your-password>  kingtech dang man, I can only type so fast ;)
[02:57] <werdz> win 21
[02:57] <werdz> pah, ignore me ^ :)
[02:57] <B-rabbit> I get that crappycaribou, it's just..  I don't really have any bandwidth atm and I honestly can't see why they need my phonenumber
[02:57] <ethan961> aaron_, but only if you are ABSOLUTELY sure you already have them installed
[02:57] <fink> how do i setup networked printers that are via samba?
[02:57] <nikrud> eduardo then apps->accessories->terminal, type   gksudo gparted
[02:57] <aaron_> that is what my terminal says
[02:57] <aaron_> and I have another operating system so I can always boot to that
[02:58] <Zoem> blackwaltz, how do I check if the module is loaded?
[02:58] <Zoem> oops
[02:58] <aaron_> but after I save the file what should I do
[02:58] <Zoem> anyone have any idea how to install modules for ad1988b audio?
[02:58] <Pelo> fink,  can you see the printer in samba ? yes ? then just proceed with the cups printer manager in the admin menu
[02:58] <kingtech> nikrud i dont undrstand
[02:58] <kingtech> can u explain it to me?
[02:59] <aaron_> but after I save the file what should I do ethan961
[02:59] <eduardo> nikrud, done
[02:59] <Pelo> kingtech,  type /nickserv register help and you well get instrucitons on registering your nick to the netwrok , so you cna then have private msg with ppl
[02:59] <fink> B-Rabbit: mayb e you should just put in the rejection hotline number if your so concerned?
[02:59] <ethan961> aaron_, ctl-alt-bkspace, that will restart x and close everyhin
[02:59] <nikrud> kingtech simply type:    /msg nickserv register <yourpasswordhere>  What that does is make your nick owned by you, no one else whenever you log in
[02:59] <aaron_> okay
[02:59] <aaron_> wish me lux
[02:59] <aaron_> luck
[03:00]  * ethan961 wishes aaron_ luck
[03:00]  * Pelo thinks aaron_ just started a new internet meme
[03:00] <eduardo> nikrud, nvm my partition is already ext3
[03:00] <Zoem> anyone have any idea how to install modules for ad1988b audio?
[03:00] <B-rabbit> fink, if you can explain me the use of giving my number I will...
[03:00] <Pelo> Zoem, lsmod and modprobe
[03:00] <sirjoebob> hey all.... i accidentally removed the restricted Nvidia driver and now I cant get it to reload. when i click it from the restricted drivers menu, nothing comes up. any way to reset the drivers manager or anything like that?
[03:01] <nikrud> eduardo ok, you see all your partitions there, right? Of course. Now, you should consider having 3 partitions at least, one  for swap, one for / , and one for /home
[03:01] <brambo> LjL: this is basically doing like a reinstall of the operating system?
[03:01] <Pelo> sirjoebob, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:01] <brent113> Alright, so something happened to my system and now I can only log in with failsafe gnome.  Otherwise I get the same error as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4613134&postcount=1 . Any ideas on how to find the culprit program?  Also, if I create a new user it logs in fine.
[03:01] <LjL> brambo: ... no?
[03:01] <LjL> brambo: it's updating your KDE4.
[03:02] <Pelo> brent113, just summarize the error msg ,  this si a busy night we don'T have time to open links
[03:02] <madmaxmad> omg I just saw some nice screens from Starcraft 2. looks great and if its going to be playable as the first part theres going to be some nasty need for windows if it dont work in wine
[03:02] <brent113> Pelo: first line: (process:5359): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
[03:02] <brambo> LjL: in turn should reconize in update manager therefore let me update?
[03:02] <madmaxmad> anyone heard any news about it running on linux ?
[03:02] <Pelo> brent113, did you try doing a forum search onwith the erroe msg ?  www.ubuntuforums.org ?
[03:02] <nikrud> brent113 try   sudo apt-get remove --purge <that package> , that will get rid of that file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/39keytouch-acpid

[03:02] <Zoem> anyone have any idea how to install modules for ad1988b audio?
[03:03] <Pelo> Zoem, did you check the forum ?
[03:03] <madmaxmad> ethan961, nicely said
[03:03] <aaron_> ethan961 it didn't do anything
[03:03] <LjL> brambo: *shrug*, that i cannot say. you can always try disabling the kde4 repository in sources.list and seeing
[03:03] <aaron_> I still can enable desktop effects
[03:03] <nikrud> brent113 the real problem is the last line
[03:03] <usser> madmaxmad: who needs starcraft when there's spring
[03:03] <aaron_> can't
[03:03] <ethan961> aaron_, you are in a GUI?
[03:03] <aaron_> yes

[03:04] <madmaxmad> usser, what spring has to do with starcraft ??
[03:04] <camokat> hello
[03:04] <usser> mad_max02: just look at the screenshots
[03:04] <ethan961> aaron_, good, you do have the driver. Next you will need to set up xgl

[03:05] <mad_max02> usser, wow nice. looks like some old mobile phone game
[03:05] <hauk> is there a channel specifically dedicated to sound issues?
[03:06] <mad_max02> usser, thats supposed to be starcraft alternative for linux ?
[03:06] <kingtech> nikrub i am able to register
[03:06] <ethan961> hauk, #alsa
[03:06] <nikrud> brent113 put a copy of    gedit  ~/.profile    on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:06] <aaron_> ethan961 should I use xgl or aiglx
[03:06] <ethan961> aaron_, aiglx if you can
[03:06] <hauk> ethan961 thanks
[03:06] <usser> mad_max02: that's total annihilation for linux
[03:06] <brent113> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61699/
[03:06] <ethan961> aaron_, xgl is something you want to avoid if at all possible
[03:07] <brent113> nikrud: yea, I was looking at that but I have no clue how to fix it, thanksf or lookign at it
[03:07] <mad_max02> usser, I'm not arguing or anything but looks like some undeveloped game from win98
[03:07] <kingtech> jason are u still there
[03:07] <valros> I have a problem installing alsa utilities, it says it requires a curses library
[03:07] <franek> kurwa co jest?

[03:07] <aaron_> is there aiglx for gusty
[03:07] <Benny_132> hi guys trying to setup a public/private key and i create the key's upload to the server but when i goto login it asks for my passphrase then it says Permission denied (publickey).
[03:07] <camokat> I've been running Ubuntu for a while now on Dell 530 dual boot with windows xp. Today I formated had to reinstall everything on my hard drive. Installation of Windows XP went fine. With ubuntu after installation and booting into it all I get is waiting mouse icon and that it. I cannot use the keyboard but I can move mouse...
[03:08] <jason> kingtech:  yes
[03:08] <kingtech> yeah
[03:08] <kingtech> actually i am able to register
[03:08] <B-rabbit> wauw, i apparently underastmated my internet connection.... I'm downloading @ > 500 KB/s
[03:08] <camokat> ...what's going on here? I tried reinstalling Ubuntu - same thing
[03:08] <aaron_> ethan 961 is there aiglx for gusty
[03:08] <ethan961> aaron_, yes

[03:08] <aaron_> how do I get to that
[03:08] <aaron_> cause it only has it for edgy and dapper
[03:08] <kingtech> I am just registed
[03:08] <brent113> nikrud: OOOO i know what happened.  compiz saved its settings to that file.  thanks, the replacement will fix it
[03:08] <usser> mad_max02: hm... well I like it, liked starcraft too... and my guess would that as all blizzard games starcraft 2 would pretty easy to get going on linux with wine
[03:09] <kingtech> so jason we can now chat
[03:09] <valros> I have a problem installing alsa utilities, it says it requires a curses library, any help please
[03:09] <nikrud> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61700/  brent113
[03:09] <ethan961> aaron_, I think in your case you need xgl, given your video card
[03:09] <sirjoebob> I need to reinstall the NVIDIA restricted driver but it will not give me the option to download it now....
[03:09] <kingtech>  "/msg nickserv register password"

[03:10] <kingtech>  "/msg nickserv register password?
[03:10] <aaron_> and it says I already have xgl
[03:10] <kingtech> Jkreef it is not working
[03:10] <sirjoebob> I need to reinstall the NVIDIA restricted driver but it will not give me the option to download it now....  anybody know why or how to force it?
[03:10] <FFForever> is there a deb for libgpod-0.6???????????
[03:10] <kingtech> jason i will pm u soon
[03:10] <nikrud> aaron_ ati what?    lspci | grep -i vga   will say for sure
[03:10] <aaron_> i typed sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl and it says I have it
[03:10] <aaron_> okay
[03:11] <aaron_> unknown device
[03:11] <brent113> nikrud: well, I'm back anyways, and it did work.  thanks again
[03:11] <aaron_> ati technologies unknown device
[03:11] <nikrud> FFForever I've seen them on the net, but compiling it and gtkpod is simple  (and it's available in hardy, will be released in about 3-4 weeks)
[03:11] <kingtech>  /msg
[03:11] <aaron_> but it is a ati radeon HD2600 PRO
[03:11] <un0p> FFForever,  add this line to your sources.list - deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ipod-touch/ubuntu gutsy main
[03:12] <kingtech> nikrud pls can u tell me the command to send a pm
[03:12] <valros> please help, alsa -util needs a curses library to install, no idea what it is
[03:12] <nikrud> aaron_ ah, need to be sure, ok. Those, you need the driver from the ati site I believe. a sec
[03:12] <sirjoebob> I need to reinstall the NVIDIA restricted driver but it will not give me the option to download it now....  anybody know why or how to force it? any help would be much appreciated
[03:12] <brent113> kingtech: /msg nikrud
[03:12] <brent113> kingtech: that will send a pm to nikrud
[03:12] <FFForever> not to be mean or anything but i have ported my bugs a few times, no ONE will LISTEN!!!!, i am stuck on 7.04 because my mouse and sound goes nuts when i upgrade....., and yes the problems where still in hardy last time i checked........
[03:12] <nikrud> kingtech  like brent113 says, but it has to start at the very beginning of the line. No space
[03:13] <aaron_> a sec?
[03:13] <danbhfive> sirjoebob: why do you need to reinstall?
[03:13] <smick002> I have an EVGA Nvidia 8800GT, before installing latest updates, resolution was fine, now it's 640x480.  what can I do to diagnose?
[03:13] <sirjoebob> danbhfive, I disabled it and now i cant re-enable/reinstall
[03:13] <nikrud> FFForever you should check with #ubuntu+1, see if anyone knows if it's fixed. and http::/gtkpod.org has the stuff to compile
[03:13] <un0p> valros, use the !pastebin (dont paste in here) and show the exact command and output you see
[03:13] <smick002> I finally got ubuntu running and then the video resolution problem.
