[15:00] <xubuntuuser> Hi2all, does anybody use orage?? it shows me the config dialog at every startup. How can i stop that?
[15:01] <Aethelred> adidust: also, look here:  http://www.stabellini.net/nistnet.html
[15:03] <soundray> xubuntuuser: I don't know orage, but this kind of problem usually boils down to the program not being able to write its configuration files. Perhaps one of your config directories is not owned by you any more? Also consider asking in #xubuntu
[15:05] <xubuntuuser> soundray: if i change the configuration tese changes stay to the next reboot.
[15:05] <fevel> hi everyone
[15:05] <darren__> hi i think its called network manager the icon that shows signel strength does any one know if there is any prefrence settings for it..it does not show my signel strength
[15:05] <fevel> has anyone heard of vsx virtualization?
[15:07] <soundray> xubuntuuser: if the problem is a permissions one, as I suspect, you could fix it with 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME'
[15:08] <xubuntuuser> soundray: thanks, i used the command... hoping for next reboot!
[15:08] <soundray> xubuntuuser: logging out and in again should be enough
[15:09] <xubuntuuser> ok
[15:09] <igormorgado> A sample image can be found here: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/100_3169.jpg
[15:09] <igormorgado> wrong paste =D
[15:09] <soundray> fevel: if this is not a support question, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:10] <shank> Just installed ubuntu server on a Poweredge 2650 with broadcom net extreme card. I'm having issues, I cannot use anything network related. pinging gives me a destination unreachable....
[15:10] <tobago> how to find out how many sessions are accounted on the system? and its username?
[15:11] <soundray> tobago: 'w' or 'who'
[15:11] <Pici> tobago: w
[15:11] <Pici> tobago: or finger
[15:11] <erUSUL> tobago: how many sessions are open? or how many user accounts in total the machine has?
[15:11] <tobago> erUSUL, how many sessions are open
[15:11] <erUSUL> tobago: the follow the advice of soundray or Pici ;P
[15:12] <edju> screenlets under kde?  If so, anyone w/ a pointer?
[15:12] <tobago> Pici, it returns too much entries. on my machine is one session opened, but 11 entries
[15:12] <Pici> tobago: Do you have 11 terminals open?
[15:12] <erUSUL> shank: "ip a" and "ip route" output on a pastebin would be nice to have...
[15:12] <KDB9000> Need some help setting up Netatalk so I can have a mac talk to my Ubuntu Laptop.
[15:12] <Pici> tobago: Are they all your suername?
[15:12] <tobago> Pici, yes
[15:13] <tobago> but the user is accounted only once
[15:13] <Pici> tobago: I dont know what you mean by accounted
[15:13] <erUSUL> tobago: my comp has three now X windows a two screen's "tabs"
[15:13] <tobago> logged in
[15:13] <tobago> Pici, ^^
[15:13] <soundray> shank: what does 'lspci | grep Eth' give you? Please don't paste if it's more than one line.
[15:13] <shank> erUSUL: what is a paste bin
[15:14] <Pici> tobago: Each terminal 'session' counts as a separate login.
[15:14] <erUSUL> tobago: yes but every terminal uses one tty and counts
[15:14] <erUSUL> !paste | shank
[15:14] <shank> soundray: one sec
[15:14] <erUSUL> tobago: plus the one used by X window
[15:14] <shank> ah shucks, i'm using a IP KVM, and I cannot copy from here I dont think, let me see
[15:14] <erUSUL> shank: add what soundray asked to the big paste
[15:15] <tobago> Pici, erUSUL so finger/ who doesn't return the number of logged in users.
[15:15] <Pici> tobago: No, it does exactly that.
[15:15] <tobago> Pici, then i misunderstand the process of logging in.
[15:18] <Pici> tobago: Every time you open a terminal you run another login shell, and effectively login again. 'w' shows you from where the user is logged in from, see the TTY and FROM columns.
[15:18] <ogzy> i need the value that i should change for gdm setup at gconftool usage, anybody have an idea?
[15:19] <weboide> Pici: does it mean you can only open 6 terminal ?
[15:19] <Kenton> Hi. I'm techy but very new to Linux. I'm trying to access files on a Windows 2000 desktop from my Linux laptop. So far I'm able to read and write files on the Windows PC from my Linux PC, but I can't create any files on the Windows PC. Samba was preinstalled on my Laptop, and I haven't made any changes to the installation. I mount the shared directories by issuing "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=... -o rw ..." command in a terminal window
[15:19] <soundray> ogzy: could you explain a bit more?
[15:19] <Pici> weboide: I dont believe there is a set number of login shells you can spawn.
[15:20] <weboide> Pici: there is 6 TTY started at boot time
[15:20] <Pici> weboide: Yes, I wasn't really referring to those though.
[15:20] <Lynet> Kenton: Can you create files on the share if you connect to it from a Windows pc?
[15:20] <weboide> Pici: okay ;)
[15:20] <AJC_Z0> X terminal logins use pseudo ttys, not real or virtual ones. They are finite but large in number
[15:21] <shank> Guys, what you have requested are screenshots located here http://www.theshank.net/linux/1.jpg http://www.theshank.net/linux/2.jpg http://www.theshank.net/linux/3.jpg
[15:21] <erUSUL> weboide: that's the numbr o getty processes that are run by default on boot...
[15:21] <ogzy> soundray, sure, i used python gconf binding to set up my icon set from terminal, now i want to the the similar thing for a new gdm theme set up so that i will change the defaut gdm theme, so if you know gconftool it sets some values for such things, do you know the value for gdm?
[15:21] <Pici> AJC_Z0: Large enough to not have to worry about the limit ;)
[15:21] <weboide> AJC_Z0: oh ok
[15:21] <Kenton> Lynet: Yes. Windows to Windows works fine.
[15:21] <AJC_Z0> Usually a subshell, as opposed to a login shell, is started when you open an X terminal
[15:22] <shank> Let me know if there's any other information you need some my server
[15:22] <AJC_Z0> This means that your shell profile or login script is not run, only your rc script. See your shell's page in the manual
[15:22] <weboide> erUSUL: AJC_Z0: is there any reason to have 6 TTY started ? for remote login maybe ?
[15:22] <soundray> ogzy: I see. gdm isn't configured through gconf -- it's got its own setup tool (gdmsetup) and config files (/etc/gdm/)
[15:22] <Pici> weboide: Because not everyone uses XWindows, and some people like the option to fall back to these.
[15:22] <erUSUL> weboide: those are for virtual terminals (Crtl + Alt + F1-6)
[15:23] <weboide> got it : )
[15:23] <soundray> ogzy: generally, you can find out the names of gconf keys by running gconf-editor and searching for strings with Ctrl-F
[15:23] <AJC_Z0> weboide: Those are virtual consoles. You should be able to ctrl-alt-F1 to 6 or 7 to switch between them, with another for X
[15:23] <ogzy> soundray, i want to do everything without a gui, let me check /etc/gdm file
[15:23] <Lynet> Kenton: Hmm. My guess would be either wrong file rights on the mount point or wrong/different username/pw when connecting to the share.
[15:23] <weboide> Pici: AJC_Z0: i tried those, but i don't know the key to press to go back to X : (
[15:24] <Pici> weboide: ctrl+alt+f7
[15:24] <weboide> Pici: thanks : )
[15:24] <AJC_Z0> weboide: keep trying increasing F keys. The last one which works will be your X session
[15:24] <AJC_Z0> F7 probably
[15:24] <weboide> i understand better now, thanks guys!
[15:25] <valentinex> jrib:  Pici:  that file sharing and doing all didn't worked :)
[15:25] <krunchyfrog> consoles are great fallback/panic solutions
[15:26] <Kenton> Lynet: I suspect it has something to do with rights on the mount point. Even though its owned by my user ID, once I issue the mount command ownership changes to root. My ID/password is the same on both machines.
[15:27] <valentinex> one flood bot should mute the other bot
[15:27] <darren__> hi every one dows any one know if wicd is kinda the same as network manager does it have a icon and show signel strength
[15:27] <erUSUL> shank: everything seems correctly set up ... only thing left is a driver bug...
[15:28] <shank> erUSUL: so.. what does that mean, lol...driver update? or
[15:28] <shank> erUSUL: i'm prolly a 2 out of 10 when it comes to knowledge in *nix
[15:28] <neWbieZ> hi guys ivegot a prob apparently with flash, could you help? when i watch a videoclip (i.e. youtube) there's an horizontal line in the centre of the screen, like if it's switching frame, it's pain in... and my eyes hurt. can you help?
[15:29] <soundray> shank: 3.jpg gives me a 404
[15:29] <shank> whoops
[15:29] <shank> one sec
[15:29] <shank> soundray: now set
[15:30] <erUSUL> soundray: is   broadcom NeXtExtreme bcm5701
[15:30] <Lynet> Kenton: Have you tried playing with uid=yourlinuxusername?
[15:30] <KDB9000> Can someone help me with netatalk? I went though and made it (or so I think) so it will use openssl to encrypt the connection but it doesn't seem to have worked. Also I can't connect to my linux laptop from a mac desktop.
[15:30] <nosklo> I need to troubleshoot something here, how can I change a variable returned by debconf-show package?
[15:31] <Kenton> Lynet: No, I haven't. Is that part of the mount command? It sounds promising. (Remember: I'm a Linux infant. ;-) )
[15:32] <soundray> erUSUL: thanks. Is this normally supported by the tg3 driver? ( shank)
[15:32] <rajec> guys I am now one of you I am on ubuntu lol :)). May I ask you what you use for quick running/finding applications?
[15:32] <erUSUL> soundray: tha's what i gathered from google :) firsdt thought of b44
[15:32] <valentinex> rajec:  ALT+F2
[15:32] <krunchyfrog> rajec: synaptics
[15:33] <soundray> rajec: in terminal, 'apt-cache search searchterm'
[15:33] <Guest80709> boythere
[15:34] <weboide> I need help to fix the Compose key bug, the script at startup doesn't seem to work.
[15:34] <soundray> shank: does 'dmesg | grep tg3' give you any output?
[15:35] <rajec> valentinex: thanks thats what I was looking for I think
[15:35] <shank> soundray: yes. last line is tg3: eth0: flow control is off for TX and off for RX
[15:35] <weather15> Hello
[15:35] <Lynet> Kenton: Yup.
[15:35] <adidust> I wanna ask. When i install Ubuntu 7.04. I dun have internet connection. how to fix this? I have the internet connection when i am in Windows.
[15:35] <soundray> shank: anything that looks like an error?
[15:35] <shank> soundray: line above that shows tg3: eth0: link is up at 1000Mbps, full duplex
[15:35] <rajec> Guys I just installed netbeans. I am used to desktop icon and exe file ;) there is no desktop icon so how should I run it?
[15:36] <shank> soundray: not that i can tell, since last 2 show that it is up and running
[15:36] <soundray> shank: I don't think the driver is the problem then. Good.
[15:36] <Kenton> Lynet: I'll check it out and give it a try. Thanks!
[15:36] <krunchyfrog> ok, nvidia-xconfig says I need a "driver" line in "device section" Configured Video Device.  now what?
[15:36] <soundray> shank: now you're going to ask, if it's not that, what is it?
[15:36] <Lynet> Kenton: Anyway, Ubuntu also has gui tools for mounting network shares. Look at Places - Network and Places - Connect to Server.
[15:36] <shank> soundray: if it's not that, what is it?
[15:36] <shank> bahahahaha
[15:37] <erUSUL> shank: soundray maybe tweaking something with ethtool ? like forcing some rate or full/half duplex?
[15:37] <soundray> shank: good question
[15:37] <weather15> Adidust are you using DHCP?
[15:37] <shank> erUSUL: what command shall i run to enable full duplex
[15:37] <soundray> erUSUL: perhaps... I'm afraid I have no relevant experience
[15:37] <jacobs1> i want to crate a user with same home directory. whats the command for that
[15:38] <erUSUL> shank: "sudo ethtool eth0" should give you current status of some conf options ...
[15:38] <shank> erUSUL: okay i see a list of options..
[15:39] <Lynet> jacobs1: Same home directory? Why'd you want to do that?
[15:39] <the_darkside_986> How does one configure ircd-hybrid on Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit? I keep trying to connect locally with my machine's hostname but I get connection refused. I tried the correct port. Any ideas?
[15:39] <the_darkside_986> (And my hostname is confirmed to be correct)
[15:39] <krunchyfrog> anyone?
[15:39] <jacobs1> Lynet: ok then, to a new directory
[15:39] <jacobs1> what would be the command
[15:40] <soundray> jacobs1: go through System-Administration-Users and Groups, or run 'sudo adduser jacobs2' (as an example)
[15:40] <Lynet> jacobs1: For GUI: System - Administration - Users and groups. On command-line: adduser
[15:40] <jacekowski> hi
[15:40] <jacekowski> is it possible to use ipw3945 drivers on 8.04 instead of that crap iwl3945?
[15:41] <erUSUL> shank: try "sudo ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000 duplex full" but keep in mind i just shooting in the dark
[15:41] <the_darkside_986> I don't get why nmap doesn't show IRCd running on my local machine.
[15:41] <the_darkside_986> I used /etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid to start it.
[15:41] <krauss> 'Ello there.
[15:41] <shank> erUSUL: I did eth0, and it set.
[15:41] <krauss> I am quite new to this OS.
[15:42] <rajec> I've installed netbeans by running sh command and it was installed but I cannot find it under add/remove application
[15:42] <shank> erUSUL: do i need to restart network services?
[15:42] <overrider> hey; can anyone recommend a quite recent business / smartphone that will nicely sync with some calendar or scheduling app under ubuntu? or a great pda maybe? thanks
[15:42] <erUSUL> shank: and have that solved the problem ?? ^_^
[15:42] <krauss> Can anyone shed some light on how to install a program that was originally based for windows?
[15:42] <Pici> rajec: Because add/remove only shows applications installed with apt.
[15:42] <shank> erUSUL: still destination unreachable
[15:42] <a_ok> i am trying to compile something on ubuntu. this seems to be a problem since there is a header missing
[15:42] <thiebaude> krauss:which program?
[15:42] <soundray> rajec: you shouldn't install packages like that if there is an Ubuntu package. 'sudo apt-get install netbeans' would have done it
[15:42] <erUSUL> shank: :|
[15:43] <soundray> !software > rajec
[15:43] <shank> erUSUL: i'm beginning to dislike linux
[15:43] <krauss> thiebaude: Adobe flash player
[15:43] <Polarina> For a laptop battery that lasts approximately 3 hours under normal word processing use - how long will the battery last while the computer's suspended?
[15:43] <a_ok> thiebaude not something you know but it uses libroken and needs getarg.h that normaly comes with libroken
[15:43] <soundray> shank: not that you have a good reason
[15:43] <uro1> hello! well i'm completely new to linux and i could use a little help regarding flash?
[15:43] <krauss> It had the Linux option on the website, but I can't get it to run.
[15:43] <a_ok> sorry was not for me lol
[15:43] <rajec> pici: ok
[15:44] <Polarina> uro1: apt-get install gnash
[15:44] <thiebaude> krauss:use ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:44] <Noruas> hi people
[15:44] <a_ok> can anyone tell me how i can get some decent headers in ubuntu?
[15:44] <a_ok> hi
[15:44] <shank> soundray: lol...i tried slackware and it didn't even recognize the nic.. so I went with ubuntu server for most compatibility but now it seems like everyone is working but cannot ping or anything network related.
[15:44] <thiebaude> krauss:non free flashplayer
[15:44] <arvind_khadri> !ask | uro1
[15:44] <soundray> shank: dislike Broadcom for making poorly documented devices and not supporting free driver development
[15:44] <jacobs1> soundray:  and Lynet . thanks :)
[15:45] <krauss> thiebaude: I don't understand that. o_o
[15:45] <arvind_khadri> a_ok, decent headers??
[15:45] <uro1> my problem is, that i can't go fullscreen in sites such as youtube... i've read a few forums regarding this topic but still didn't find the right answer
[15:45] <erUSUL> shank: sorry... i'm out of ideas ... maybe you can reload the driver... "sudo modprobe -r tg3 && sudo modprobe tg3" and see if that makes any diference?
[15:45] <Polarina> uro1: If you want it to work under Firefox too:  apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash
[15:45] <arvind_khadri> uro1, firefox??
[15:45] <uro1> they said that oyu shouldnt get gnash
[15:45] <rajec> soundray: ok thanks. I have netbeans in reposittory but I need netbeans for ruby development and there is only all in one
[15:45] <uro1> yes firefox
[15:45] <a_ok> arvind_khadri: need headers that come with libroken
[15:45] <thiebaude> krauss:in synaptic
[15:45] <int86> what to do with lost+found directory, how to restore all files in it, if I can only boot via live cd
[15:45] <a_ok> and generally all other headers since its a development server
[15:46] <arvind_khadri> a_ok, kernel headers?
[15:46] <the_darkside_986> I tried oftc-hybrid as my ircd but still can't connect...
[15:46] <the_darkside_986> I get connection refused in xchat
[15:47] <usamahashimi> Hello Everyone!
[15:47] <soundray> rajec: okay. Well, you need to find out where it's been installed and create a launcher by hand, or hit Alt-F2 and run netbeans from there
[15:47] <shank> erUSUL: no worries, yea reloaded and restarted, no luck... ahh
[15:47] <usamahashimi> How can I delete the outdated packages from /var/cache/apt/archives ?
[15:47] <shank> erUSUL: maybe I look will get a intel PCI card and solve my problem
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> usamahashimi, sudo apt-get autoremove
[15:48] <int86> what to do with lost+found directory, how to restore all files in it, if I can only boot via live cd
[15:48] <arvind_khadri> usamahashimi, and sudo apt-get clean
[15:48] <baker> hello: trying to work efax with ac97 sound/modem card using alsa driver and sl-modem-daemon. Am i doing it right? ttySL0 is non-existant. what /dev does alsa card use?
[15:48] <neWbieZ> uro1: reboot your window manager that's the solution
[15:48] <shank> anyways, thanks guys.
[15:48] <uro1> also tried it, it won't work
[15:49] <neWbieZ> its the only way
[15:49] <usamahashimi> arvind_khadri, Doesn't apt-get clean delete everything in /var/cache/apt/archives?
[15:49] <neWbieZ> i hade the same prob
[15:49] <krauss> Thiebaude:  Ok, I'm in Synaptic
[15:49] <krauss> What now?
[15:49] <neWbieZ> reboot it and it'll work
[15:49] <uro1> i've instaled the latest flashplugin-nonfree
[15:49] <uro1> but still won't work
[15:49] <arvind_khadri> usamahashimi, no
[15:49] <rajec> soundray: when I hit alt-f2 netbeans folder appear and thats all. There is no way hot add more version of netbeans?
[15:49] <BusMaster> is there a tool to graphically manage my routing table?
[15:50] <krauss> dang, he left.
[15:50] <usamahashimi> arvind_khadri, ok, lemme check but first of all lemme backup my /var/cache/apt/archives :)
[15:50] <Polarina> Is there a way to install Firefox 2 in Ubuntu 8.04? Firefox 3 keeps freezing my computer and it's annoying.
[15:50] <arvind_khadri> usamahashimi, :)
[15:50] <krauss> Can I get some help installing Adobe Flash player, please?
[15:50] <kbrosnan> Polarina: firefox 2 is in synaptic
[15:51] <Polarina> kbrosnan: Thanks.
[15:51] <soundray> rajec: I'm not familiar with netbeans, so I don't know what should be happening. Perhaps you should remove the repository version to make sure you're running the one you have installed manually.
[15:51] <Lynet> krauss: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:51] <arvind_khadri> Polarina, sudu apt-get autoremove firefox-3.0; sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[15:51] <arvind_khadri> !flash | krauss
[15:51] <spiritssight> is there a irc for wireless issues
[15:51] <zxd> hi
[15:51] <Polarina> arvind_khadri: :)
[15:52] <zxd> i am using usplash , and the splash screen disappears and shows the console right before loading gdm ...
[15:52] <uro1> neWbieZ check PM
[15:52] <rajec> soundray: theoretically there should be some way right? If I understand well linux is based or repositories which are places with applications right?
[15:52] <soundray> spiritssight: if you're on ubuntu, feel free to ask here
[15:53] <Lynet> krauss: Always search in synaptic before you attempt to download and install software manually.
[15:53] <soundray> rajec: no, Linux is just the operating system kernel. Repositories are offered by some distributions, for example ubuntu.
[15:53] <uro1> i need some help regardin sites like youtube to go fullscreen- can anyone help me? please PM
[15:53] <krauss> Thanks so much guys
[15:53] <rajec> soundray: ok so ubuntu is the one which have repository with missing netbeans versions ?
[15:53] <spiritssight> soundray: I having been for the last 2 days geting help to get my computer to see wireless networks its a broadcom 4311 I believe
[15:54] <rajec> soundray: if I want to instal it by app get I need to wait until they will add netbeans to repository
[15:54] <soundray> arvind_khadri, usamahashimi: apt-get clean removes everything from the cache. apt-get autoclean is what you want.
[15:54] <arvind_khadri> rajec, try getdeb.net
[15:54] <^BARrE|^> good day
[15:54] <Pici> !info netbeans | rajec

[15:56] <Lynet> ^BARrE|^: Have you searched the ubuntu repositories? (e.g., open Synaptic package manager and search).
[15:56] <soundray> spiritssight: what ubottu has just sent you as a private message
[15:56] <rajec> arvind_khadri: uch I downloaded it from netbeans site and run it using sh command

[15:56] <^BARrE|^> im not sure how, im new to linux
[15:57] <spiritssight> this looks to be the same thing I went through yesterday
[15:57] <Lynet> ^BARrE|^: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager.
[15:57] <rajec> soundray:  you mean 'which netbeans' because this gets me nothing
[15:57] <sydw> What is the correct way to set up /etc/network/interfaces for two network cards? I tried http://paste.ubuntu.com/44571/ but I get two default routes and everything gets sent to <IP_ADDRESS>.
[15:57] <soundray> usamahashimi: or you can read 'man apt-get' to confirm what I told you
[15:57] <uro1> i need some help regarding flash and fullscreen viewing. can anyone help me? please PM me
[15:58] <^BARrE|^> ok looking now

[15:58] <krauss> Guys, it said ti couldn't find the package
[15:58] <^BARrE|^> eh running update cant load atm
[15:58] <soundray> rajec: then you haven't installed it. Please run 'sudo apt-get install netbeans'. This will get you version 6.0.1, which is not the latest but does support Ruby development
[15:58] <arvind_khadri> krauss, you must have the repos enabled
[15:58] <krauss> How do I do that?
[15:58] <krunchyfrog> how can I sudo something in gui?
[15:59] <soundray> krunchyfrog: Alt-F2 gksudo command
[15:59] <arvind_khadri> krunchyfrog, gksu
[15:59] <krauss> from the add applications program?
[15:59] <rajec> soundray: ou yeah I've unistalled it because thats not version I want. I want to 6.5 beta for ruby. Btw if I download it and install by sh it should work right?
[15:59] <arvind_khadri> !repo > krauss
[15:59] <krunchyfrog> no gui way?  like right click or something?  I need to sudo the nvidia control pannel
[16:00] <int86> How one can restore from lost+found   <<<>>>>
[16:00] <spiritssight> soundray: I don't know if you got my response. I went though what you sent for link yesterday it appeared not to help
[16:00] <soundray> rajec: I don't know. You should get instructions from the documentation within the package, or from the netbeans.org web site
[16:00] <dooglus> what can I use to download podcasts which are a mix of mp3 (audio) and m4v (video)?
[16:01] <popey> dooglus: banshee-1, hpodder, juice receiver, bashpodder...?
[16:01] <soundray> spiritssight: so you went to that page -- which link did you follow?
[16:02] <dooglus> popey: thanks.  is the -1 a typo?
[16:02] <dooglus> !info banshee-1
[16:02] <popey> no
[16:02] <remoteCTR1> what was the name of the get-the-time daemon?
[16:02] <echinos> is there an ossim apt repo?
[16:02] <popey> dooglus: there is a repo with it in on launchpad
[16:02] <spiritssight> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy
[16:02] <rajec> soundray: thanks a lot for your help
[16:02] <H0T_R0D> i have a toshiba l35 laptop and how do i get dialup working gnome-ppp cant detect the modem?
[16:02] <soundray> remoteCTR1: ntpdate
[16:02] <remoteCTR1> soundray: thanks
[16:02] <soundray> !info ntpdate | remoteCTR1
[16:02] <H0T_R0D> there is no /dev/modem ...
[16:03] <soundray> !modem | H0T_R0D
[16:03] <baker> HOT_ROD: did u use scanModem?
[16:03] <baker> ...yeah...
[16:03] <dooglus> popey: what if I want something from a standard ubuntu repo?  universe/multiverse is OK
[16:03] <popey> dooglus: try one of the others then
[16:03] <alex-weej> dooglus: banshee 1.0 does what you want, it's just it is too new for Hardy and doesn't qualify for an SRU
[16:04] <remoteCTR1> soundray: k, its installed and how do i get it to retrieve the proper date?
[16:04] <int86>  How one can restore files from lost+found   <<<>>>>
[16:04] <alex-weej> int86: copy and paste?
[16:04] <soundray> remoteCTR1: it does it automatically each time your internet connection goes up
[16:04] <remoteCTR1> soundray: umm, kk but i cant turn it down it is a server
[16:05] <soundray> remoteCTR1: hold on a sec
[16:05] <remoteCTR1> soundray: k, thanks
[16:05] <int86> alex-weej: I dont know there location, they are in total 400 mbs
[16:05] <spiritssight> Is there a way to remove and reinstall the stuff of the wireless, I don't get why this is working and the people that tryed to help have not been able to do so, its most likly me and I just don't know it :-(
[16:05] <uro1> hey- i have installed flashplugin-nonfree, but full screen still wont work
[16:05] <tunnel25> yes ma4de6
[16:06] <int86> alex-weej: I want to restore them to there respective directories
[16:06] <alex-weej> int86: the filesystem doesn't know their location either... that's why they're in lost...and found
[16:06] <tunnel25> sliping full
[16:06] <dooglus> alex-weej: ugh, it appears that banshee requires a ton of MS-patented crap
[16:06] <soundray> remoteCTR1: do a 'sudo true' to cache your sudo password, then run 'date ; sudo /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate ; date'.
[16:06] <alex-weej> dooglus: if by that you mean mono... yes it's a CLR app.
[16:07] <dooglus> alex-weej: "need to download 15MB - 47MB extra disk space will be used" - yes, it's all mono stuff
[16:07] <soundray> uro1: is the flashplugin listed when you type in 'about:plugins' as the URL in firefox?
[16:07] <alex-weej> dooglus: up to you.
[16:07] <dooglus> alex-weej: are there any non-mono alternatives?
[16:08] <alex-weej> dooglus: not that i know of that are as good. what difference does it make?
[16:08] <popey> dooglus: in all likelyhood you already have microsoft patented stuff on your machine but you dont know it
[16:08] <soundray> dooglus: if you are the least bit worried about patents, don't even think of playing mp3 and m4v stuff
[16:08] <alex-weej> that's a good point, soundray
[16:08] <Kain89> hello @ all
[16:08] <int86> alex-weej: then whats the use for lost+found dirctory, my all etc and var directory went in lostfound after a fsck
[16:09] <remoteCTR1> soundray: umm that gives me errors
[16:09] <alex-weej> int86: when fsck scans your disk it finds files that are orphaned (don't have a directory entry)
[16:09] <soundray> remoteCTR1: do you want to pastebin them for me to see?
[16:09] <popey> dooglus: fact is you have no idea what microsoft hold patents on, just that they _do_ hold patents on _some_ bits of mono
[16:09] <alex-weej> int86: it will place them in lost+found so you can decide what to do with them.
[16:09] <dooglus> popey: it seems like a waste of energy to work on mono apps when MS can easily kill the projects
[16:09] <remoteCTR1> soundray: did you just take that out of some perl script or something? cos those ; inbetween dont seem right to me for console...
[16:10] <popey> dooglus: take the fud elsewhere please
[16:10] <alex-weej> dooglus: no more easily than MPEG patent holders can kill ffmpeg etc.
[16:10] <alex-weej> and a large proportion of the world is free
[16:10] <int86> alex-weej: you mean manully, is there any way to reverse the process of fsck
[16:10] <alex-weej> :)
[16:10] <krunchyfrog> what's initramfs at the beginning?
[16:10] <alex-weej> int86: unfortunately not

[16:10] <Bearish> Is there someone who can help me with broadcom b43 wireless drivers? such as guides or links where i can download it?
[16:10] <alex-weej> int86: but... the files that were supposedly in /etc and /var will have been broken anyway
[16:11] <remoteCTR1> soundray: heh that might be true, so explain if you like?
[16:11] <Polarina> How long does a laptop battery that lasts approximately 3 hours under normal word processing use last while suspended?
[16:11] <Pici> krunchyfrog: Thats when grub loads the linux kernel.

[16:11] <lisa_> can somebpdy tell me how i can go to the german ubuntu channel?

[16:11] <soundray> remoteCTR1: I don't know if I'm inclined to, if I get a response like yours above
[16:12] <Pici> young98: You'll need to ask a question first.
[16:12] <alex-weej> Polarina: days and days and days
[16:12] <krunchyfrog> pici: so what if booting makes initramfs kind of hang on startup?  how long can it take?
[16:12] <remoteCTR1> soundray: whats the problem, did i offend you in any way?
[16:12] <young98> i can't type any characters in my terminal
[16:12] <Pici> krunchyfrog: Is this the first boot after an install?
[16:12] <int86> alex-weej: isnt there any repair method as in windows

[16:13] <H0T_R0D> is there a driver that i need?

[16:13] <the_darkside_986> I give up on trying to get IRCD working in Ubuntu. So I'll just reboot to Windows XP. Unreal's irc server is awesome anyway.
[16:13] <krunchyfrog> pici: yes, does it change something?
[16:13] <rockyrock> H0T_R0D: check linmodems.org
[16:14] <soundray> remoteCTR1: mate, I've been installing and maintaining unix systems via the command line for 15 years. Now you come at me with "did you just take that out of some perl script or something?". How polite do you think that is?

[16:14] <arvind_khadri> !broadcom > Bearish
[16:14] <_UsUrPeR_> Bearish: I am using madwifi. it's a simple install, just jump in the dir, run make, then run make install and reboot the computer

[16:14] <rockyrock> has anybody read my problem???
[16:14] <Bearish> thx
[16:15] <rockyrock> my problem is that i can't install ubuntu, plz read my post
[16:15] <krunchyfrog> Pici: please?
[16:15] <Pici> krunchyfrog: Sorry, got a bit distracted.
[16:15] <remoteCTR1> soundray: no man you got that wrong, i din't mean it that way; i am not too familiar with bash scripting and as said before that thows an error, so iw as just asking, that was no "or what" question...says -bash: date ; sudo /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate ; date: No such file or directory
[16:16] <Pici> krunchyfrog: Are there any errors or does it just say that its loading?
[16:16] <Pici> remoteCTR1: don't enclose the command with quotes.
[16:16] <Lynet> remoteCTR1: Erm.. You did type that in without any quotes, right?
[16:17] <soundray> remoteCTR1: you pasted the quote marks. Only paste the stuff in between.
[16:17] <Lynet> Omg, is echo here! ;-p
[16:17] <IdleOne> rockyrock: try using this http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent to install
[16:18] <rockyrock> what's the alternate?
[16:18] <H0T_R0D> where do i get scanmodem is it in the repository?
[16:18] <IdleOne> it is a text based install. not complicated and gives you the same default Ubuntu as the live cd does when done
[16:19] <remoteCTR1> soundray: ya ok <-lil slow today, yet still this tells me Mon Sep  8 17:28:55 CEST 2008

[16:19] <rockyrock> IdleOne: I have ubuntu 8.04.1 CD
[16:19] <rockyrock> IdleOne: is it something else?
[16:20] <IdleOne> rockyrock: yes but that is the Live CD version correct?
[16:20] <rockyrock> IdleOne: Live CD version of what?? of my CD???
[16:21] <IdleOne> yes?

[16:21] <sysop1972> Does anyone know how to install a 2nd drive to a ubuntu install?
[16:21] <rockyrock> IdleOne: i used that CD to install ubuntu on other Desktop
[16:22] <rockyrock> IdleOne: i also tried xubuntu, but i got the same issue
[16:22] <soundray> remoteCTR1: does 'sudo /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian' give you anything?
[16:22] <IdleOne> rockyrock: did it give you the option to try without installing?
[16:22] <krunchyfrog> No I need to make frets on fire work
[16:22] <krunchyfrog> no = now
[16:22] <remoteCTR1> soundray: it does: 8 Sep 17:33:49 ntpdate[6648]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[16:23] <rockyrock> IdleOne: yeah, it gives 4 options: 1- Live, 2-Install, 3- memtest+. 4-boot from hardisk
[16:24] <Darso> anyone know about using an hdtv as a comp monitor?
[16:24] <IdleOne> rockyrock: ok download and burn http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent this is a text install version and sometimes fixes the problems that some people have with installing from the version you currently have
[16:24] <skeddy> I need help installing my WPC54GX - It's PCMIA based, and it's plugged in, but there are no lights
[16:24] <rajec> how to find out in terminal which version of some softwar is in repository
[16:24] <Pici> rajec: apt-cache show packagename
[16:25] <krunchyfrog> Darso: there's lots of people doing that..  it all depends on your cpu, your ram and your video card.
[16:25] <soundray> remoteCTR1: okay, it looks like you have ntpd running on your system. Can you 'sudo invoke-rc.d ntp stop'?
[16:25] <IdleOne> rajec: apt-cache policy package shows version installed
[16:25] <remoteCTR1> soundray: done
[16:25] <rockyrock> IdleOne: ok, how can i install it?? is it the same way or there are commands that i have to learn first?
[16:26] <remoteCTR1> soundray: now again the other command?
[16:26] <soundray> remoteCTR1: yes
[16:26] <IdleOne> rockyrock: it is simple follow instructions. no commands to learn
[16:26] <rockyrock> ok, thnx
[16:26] <IdleOne> no problem
[16:26] <int86> How to repair a insatallation
[16:27] <IdleOne> int86: depends on how you broke it
[16:27] <rajec> idleOne: cant make it work. I want to know which version of opera I will get when I will installed it through app-get
[16:27] <remoteCTR1> soundray: ok, sudo /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian now returns the following after some seconds: 8 Sep 17:38:02 ntpdate[6892]: step time server <IP_ADDRESS> offset -677.629238 sec
[16:27] <soundray> remoteCTR1: so it's updated the time. See if it's correct now by running 'date'
[16:28] <rockyrock> i have another problem. There is a program called SCIM, it's always running even when i close it. It always appears in the notification area

[16:28] <remoteCTR1> soundray: unforunately it still isn't...   Mon Sep  8 17:39:21 CEST 2008
[16:28] <rockyrock> sometimes i can't even write in Virtual Box
[16:28] <int86> IdleOne: broke with fsck, cant boot in any mode, but can browse parition while booting with a live cd
[16:29] <felix> Rostropovich
[16:29] <krunchyfrog> Pici: that initramfs I was talking about, well the user says it was hung there and he got impatient after about 5 minutes and rebooted to livecd
[16:29] <felix> what?
[16:29] <int86> IdleOne: can I install in the same / , without formattion it
[16:29] <elzoog> Hello everyone, I have another question
[16:29] <rockyrock> first i have to close it, then i open VBOX after that i can type in my Virtual OSs
[16:29] <int86> IdleOne: re-install I mean
[16:29] <rockyrock> even when i close it, it runs again!
[16:30] <gojiita> hez
[16:30] <gojiita> hhey
[16:30] <elzoog> Does anyone know much about sound in Ubuntu 8.04?
[16:30] <rockyrock> also it prevent me from using the Fast Search in the File manager
[16:30] <IdleOne> int86: do you have a separate /home partition?
[16:31] <coreg> hi
[16:31] <IdleOne> int86: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome follow this guide to move your /home to a seprarate partiton then you will be able to re-install ubuntu without losing your personal files
[16:31] <int86> IdleOne: nope
[16:31] <coreg> there is an ubuntu live with incorporated LTSP?
[16:31] <soundray> remoteCTR1: please do a 'date ; sudo ntpdate-debian ; date ; sleep 1 ; date' and tell me whether any of the dates shown are correct
[16:31] <coreg> already configured with dhcp and so on?
[16:32] <elzoog> The sound quality I get in Ubuntu 8.04 is very staticy (unlike 7.10 where the quality was decent)
[16:32] <remoteCTR1> soundray: nope, sorry to say but it still runs some 18 minutes ahead
[16:32] <IdleOne> int86: I recommend you read that site 2 times completely. print it if you want and then follow the instructions carefully. I used it and had no problems with it
[16:32] <elTigre> Hi! I have a rogue process (totem) and can't kill it
[16:33] <elTigre> killall -9 doesn't work
[16:33] <elTigre> is there a way short of rebooting?
[16:33] <spydon> elTigre, pkill totem or killall totem
[16:33] <int86> IdleOne: k , reading
[16:33] <IdleOne> int86: :)
[16:33] <elTigre> spydon: that does not work
[16:33] <spydon> elTigre, ctrl+alt+backspace then
[16:34] <TheRealMetalmani> Hi
[16:34] <elTigre> tried at least a dozen times ... also -9
[16:34] <elTigre> that will wreck my X Session
[16:34] <elzoog> elTigre: That's one reason I don't bother with Totem.  Use mplayer or vlc player.  Both of them are better.
[16:34] <Fritz87> Guys, what are your personal favorite ubuntu distros?
[16:34] <IdleOne> int86: don't let it intimidate you. :)
[16:34] <elTigre> that wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear, elzoog ;)
[16:34] <rengo> holas. alguien sabe como crear ina imagen de cd o dvd con ectencion .iso para agregar archivos?
[16:34] <elzoog> Can anyone tell me how to improve sound in Ubuntu?
[16:35] <rengo> va con que soft se puede rear esa imagen a si agregar archivos.
[16:36] <metalmania> Hi all
[16:36] <elTigre> rengo: Insert raw CD, Drag files into CD folder and burn
[16:36] <elzoog> elTigre:  Well, my personal experience with Totem has never been good.  Since I have never had nearly as many problems with mplayer I simply use that.
[16:36] <soundray> remoteCTR1: more like 11 minutes. But it's still strange...
[16:36] <Trijntje> When i login to msn with pidgin, it says:
[16:36] <Trijntje> The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin. (trying to log on to login.live.com) Does anyone know what i should do about this?
[16:36] <rengo> what soft' name?
[16:36] <elzoog> I think mplayer should be the standard movie player in Ubuntu instead of Totem
[16:37] <`Matir> Does anyone here use a VPS?
[16:37] <Rostropovich> 小吕探花
[16:37] <rengo> not cd o dvd . isert files.
[16:37] <sysop1972> could someone please help me install a 2nd hard drive to my ubuntu system?  The drive is physically installed I just don't know how to mount etc.
[16:37] <remoteCTR1> soundray: in that case my client's clock is also not correct, and yes it is... actually i thought ntpd was doing that anyways but it doesnt seem so...
[16:37] <int86> IdleOne: what after that
[16:38] <elzoog> So nobody here knows anything about how to fix sound?
[16:38] <soundray> !sound > elzoog
[16:39] <int86> IdleOne: I cant browse the home folder with ext2fs while on windows too
[16:39] <jesus_> hi
[16:39] <jesus_> some one there'
[16:39] <Kuba> what happens below the scenes when i press control-alt-delete combo
[16:39] <yrlnry> My Ubuntu 8.04 box recently offered me an upgrade from Subversion 1.4 to 1.5.  I don't want to take it.  How can I get the update manager to stop displaying the icon that says that new updates are available, until some *other* new updates are available?
[16:39] <elzoog> Is there someone that knows more about sound than a robot does here?
[16:39] <metalmania> BRB food ^
[16:40] <LordMetroid> Is there any configuration over what the notification area on the menu shall show?
[16:40] <anon32> elzoog, say what?
[16:40] <elzoog> anon32:  ubottu is a bot.  It is the only thing that responded to my query
[16:40] <anon32> elzoog, what was your query? I just joined.
[16:41] <elzoog> anon:  I am wondering how to improve sound in Ubuntu 8.04.  It works, but it is very poor quality (what I mean by that is it's very staticy).  I didn't have this problem with Ubuntu 7.10
[16:41] <jesus_> is there someone that knows why i can conect to my wifi ( i see all the conections but i cant conect them, my router doesn't accept the pass word)
[16:42] <anon32> elzoog, this sounds like a regression in the sound driver. What sound chip do you have?
[16:42] <soundray> remoteCTR1: let's see if restarting the ntp daemon does anything. Run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog'
[16:42] <Marfi> has anyone used the forensics .debs of ubuntu? autopsy, sleuthkit, etc? if so, are they as effective as the windows alternatives for data recovery?
[16:42] <soundray> remoteCTR1: let's see if restarting the ntp daemon does anything. Run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' in another terminal to see what's happening, then enter 'sudo invoke-rc.d ntp start'
[16:43] <elzoog> anon:  It's whatever sound card comes with an HP laptop,  HP Pavilion dv6000
[16:43] <anon32> elzoog, well, you need to find out what that is. Usually, the "lspci" command will show it.
[16:43] <remoteCTR1> soundray: just a sec please

[16:46] <anon32> urgh, that jap text seriously messed up my text console
[16:46] <soundray> remoteCTR1: that ntp is a bit outdated -- which Ubuntu version do you have?
[16:46] <remoteCTR1> soundray: and now came this, does that help:  Sep  8 15:57:19 MailMath ntpd[22963]: sendto(<IP_ADDRESS>) (fd=-1): Bad file descriptor

[16:47] <anon32> elzoog, ah, an Intel HDA. The drivers for those are kind of flakey - I would suggest looking into the module documentation for the hda driver.
[16:47] <krauss> I think I just installed everything fom the synaptics thing
[16:47] <erUSUL> lisa_: /join ...
[16:47] <NM> Hi!
[16:47] <anon32> erUSUL, or, you could just talk in English like the rest of us.
[16:48] <anon32> and it's not a "terminal emulator" but an *actual terminal*
[16:48] <elzoog> anon:  I didn't have this problem with Ubuntu 7.10.  You would think that a more recent version would be better
[16:48] <anon32> elzoog, I would as well. A hotfix would be to cut your PCM volume.
[16:48] <anon32> that should mask the distortion
[16:49] <rich_> hello everyone....has anyone tried to open an wmv file and had a prob ...i have
[16:49] <anon32> oh, I'm actually getting ahead of myself - do you get bad sound in all applications?
[16:49] <scotelaro> oks
[16:49] <anon32> rich_, no, I haven't had any problems with WMVs.
[16:49] <scotelaro> please chanel brasileiro in ubuntu
[16:49] <Marfi> has anyone used the forensics .debs of ubuntu? autopsy, sleuthkit, etc? if so, are they as effective as the windows alternatives for data recovery?
[16:49] <SlimeyPete> !brazil
[16:49] <spiritssight> is any one able to help with fixing why wireless networks are not showing up on my system??
[16:49] <rich_> well anon 32....any advise
[16:49] <soundray> remoteCTR1: I'm still talking to you :)  According to a quick web search, this means that you have more than one ntpd running. Try 'sudo invoke-rc.d ntp stop' again, then 'sudo killall ntpd', then check if any are still running with 'ps aux | grep ntp'
[16:50] <remoteCTR1> soundray: aye, sec pls
[16:50] <rich_> mplayer??? dont work
[16:50] <scotelaro> oks obrigaduu
[16:50] <atlantis> can wine for 64bit run photoshop (32 bit)
[16:50] <scotelaro> bot
[16:50] <elzoog> anon:  Yes, it sounds bad on pretty much everything.
[16:51] <elzoog> anon:  Even if I turn down the PCM volume
[16:51] <anon32> rich_, if you are using a MPlayer version provided in the repositories, you should delete it. All multi-media software in *buntu is horribly crippled.
[16:51] <anon32> elzoog, sounds like a problem with the driver then.
[16:51] <scotelaro>  Thank you
[16:51] <N0_Named_Guy> hello ppl :)
[16:51] <firb> thank you
[16:51] <elzoog> anon:  Apperently, it's a Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver
[16:51] <soundray> atlantis: the wine that comes packaged with Ubuntu 64bit emulates 32bit Windows, so it should be fine in principle. For Photoshop compatibility, see the winehq site
[16:51] <anon32> rich_, instead, you should download the sources for MPlayer and build it by hand.
[16:51] <N0_Named_Guy> anon32: did you checked medibuntu out?
[16:51] <soundray> !wine | atlantis
[16:51] <erUSUL> !appdb | atlantis
[16:51] <remoteCTR1> soundray: as you said, just killed the other thread
[16:52] <rich_> Anon 32......what about mencoder?
[16:52] <rich_> is that good?
[16:52] <anon32> MEncoder is part of MPlayer and is similarly broken.
[16:52] <soundray> remoteCTR1: no more ntpds running now?
[16:52] <atlantis> I couldn't even get the setup file to run through wine, click and click nothing happens, didn't know if there was a work around
[16:52] <rich_> oh ok
[16:52] <lvdaxia> ???

[16:53] <soundray> !newdrive | sysop1972
[16:53] <remoteCTR1> soundray: already done, also the other command, yet still no change \o0/
[16:53] <lvdaxia> 是我
[16:53] <soundray> sysop1972: a mountpoint is a directory like any other. Create it with 'sudo mkdir /var/local/nameofmountpoint'
[16:54] <b3z3rk3r> anyone awake?
[16:54] <rich_> yup
[16:54] <soundray> remoteCTR1: sorry, I'm out of suggestions. What's the uptime on this machine? Perhaps it just needs rebooting to restore sanity...
[16:54] <krauss> Ok, I did apt-get, for the flash player

[16:55] <remoteCTR1> soundray: humm... that would be 40 days
[16:55] <remoteCTR1> soundray: thanks alot for the effort though i appreciate it!
[16:55] <sysop1972> soundtray - Well I have shared folders on the primary hard drive and I am looking to add storage within the main shared folder.  Does this mean I createmy mount point in there?
[16:55] <erUSUL> rich_: install w32codecs from medibuntu repo
[16:55] <erUSUL> !medibuntu > rich_
[16:56] <firb> fine
[16:56] <erUSUL> rich_: also make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:56] <rich_> ok thanx
[16:56] <krauss> How do you get Ubuntu Restricted Extras?
[16:56] <rich_> ok will do thanx again
[16:56] <rich_> will be back soon
[16:56] <erUSUL> krauss: is a package
[16:57] <krauss> I'm STILL having troubleg flash player downloadin
[16:57] <b3z3rk3r> in the repository
[16:57] <krauss> On the CD?
[16:57] <krauss> Ok, I just installed everything out of Synaptics
[16:57] <Pici> KrayZee: Everything?
[16:57] <Pici> er, krauss Everything?
[16:57] <krauss> Yeah.
[16:57] <krauss> Clicked Mark all
[16:57] <krauss> And installed itall
[16:57] <krauss> I have no idea what I'm doing
[16:58] <Pici> krauss: Thats pretty silly.
[16:58] <`Matir> Anyone here use a VPS provider?  I'm looking for one that's kinda cheap (since it's just for personal use) with fairly liberal usage, etc.
[16:58] <nashk> I'm setting up monit on my ubuntu server. I'm wondering if there's a startup script out there to use for when system reboots, it woul start monit automatically?
[16:58] <krauss> I felt pretty accomplished.
[16:58] <soundray> sysop1972: I don't know how well it will work if you create a mountpoint under a shared directory -- can't see a reason why it wouldn't, but I haven't tried. For sanity, I would move the main shared folder data to the new drive, then make the mountpoint of the new drive the new main shared directory.
[16:58] <b3z3rk3r> go to your Applications tab
[16:58] <Pici> `Matir: Try ##web, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only.
[16:58] <b3z3rk3r> then down to Add/remove
[16:58] <krauss> Heh, I am a NEW user to ubuntu
[16:58] <krauss> Totally NEW.
[16:58] <Pici> krauss: I understand.
[16:58] <b3z3rk3r> congrats then krauss
[16:59] <elzoog> anon:  Apperently, there is a problem with Conexant drivers
[16:59] <krauss> Thanks.
[16:59] <`Matir> Pici, there's not even a ##web channel.
[16:59] <`Matir> Pici, but thanks.
[16:59] <krauss> But yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how to install this darned Adobe flash player
[16:59] <krauss> I downloaded the file
[16:59] <Pici> `Matir: Sorry, its #web
[16:59] <krauss> I just can't install it
[16:59] <dooglus> krauss: you can't install everything
[17:00] <cheeky> does anyone know how to find out wat mother board iam running ?
[17:00] <dooglus> krauss: some packages are mutually incompatible
[17:00] <soundray> krauss: did you run 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree', as has been suggested?
[17:00] <cheeky> thought ubuntu ?
[17:00] <krauss> Yup. I did.
[17:00] <cheeky> *though
[17:00] <erUSUL> cheeky: sudo lshw | less
[17:00] <dooglus> cheeky: through
[17:00] <soundray> cheeky: 'dmidecode' should give you some BIOS and mobo information
[17:00] <cheeky> the only reason iam asking
[17:00] <cheeky> is coz
[17:00] <soundray> krauss: and did you restart firefox after that?
[17:01] <cheeky> icant get ubuntu to start up
[17:01] <Pici> !enter | cheeky
[17:01] <Tulimaq> krauss: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[17:01] <cheeky> and thinking coz its my raid dirvers acting the fool !
[17:01] <b3z3rk3r> cheeky: you can always just check what model number you bought and look it up on the manufactureres website
[17:01] <Pici> Tulimaq: He already did that
[17:01] <cheeky> ok sorry
[17:01] <krauss> Ok I'll try that
[17:01] <soundray> Tulimaq: he's done the apt-get, so don't confuse please
[17:01] <Pici> krauss: Its the same thing that you already did, just a different tool to do it
[17:01] <erUSUL> !fakeraid | cheeky
[17:02] <krunchyfrog> pici: I've been with cheeky for a while now...  he's the one have the initramfs
[17:02] <krunchyfrog> pici: initramfs problem I mean
[17:02] <soundray> krauss: you mean restart firefox? Please use the nick of the person you're replying to.

[17:03] <krauss> Sorrrrry.

[17:03] <soundray> krauss: what did you run when you got that error
[17:03] <b3z3rk3r> krauss: you should use the paste bin mate

[17:03] <krauss> The aptitude line.
[17:04] <metalmania> Back
[17:04] <Kuba> do you know how to call gnome quit window from shell?
[17:04] <Pici> soundray: No. I was the one butting in ;)
[17:04] <krauss> And before that, and before installing all the synaptics stff, it said file not found
[17:04] <soundray> krauss: you don't need to run the aptitude command if you've already installed it with apt-get
[17:04] <krauss> It didn't work with apt get
[17:04] <soundray> krauss: did you restart firefox?
[17:04] <krauss> Told me file does not existr
[17:05] <krauss> Yeah, I did
[17:05] <soundray> krauss: do you have synaptic running at the moment?

[17:37] <Marfi> newb, try to edit your xorg.conf file and add the higher resolutions to it
[17:37] <lore20> !nvidia | newb
[17:37] <NM> it a joke install envy "in my case"
[17:37] <NM> and never losse
[17:37] <martin_> soundray: Yes, but then I'll have to take the interfaces away from NM. That's a hassle, since I would usually just connect automatically using NM.
[17:37] <NM> ;)
[17:39] <Threethan> So, who knew that Linksys didn't work well with Ubuntu or Linux.
[17:39] <Threethan> >.<
[17:39] <soundray> martin_: I don't think you'd have to do that. firestarter just configures iptables
[17:39] <soundray> Threethan: is that a support question?
[17:39] <edju> Trying to run screenlets under KDE.  It errors out -- doesn't recognize the file format of '/usr/share/icons/screenlets.svg'.  That's a soft link to an existing file.  Any hints how to get this thing going?
[17:39] <outbackwifi> Threethan: I can safely say that linksys works well with Ubuntu :)
[17:39] <Threethan> soundray- No, that's more of an disgusted statement.
[17:40] <martin_> soundray: OK. The howto I saw was more intrusive, but maybe that's not necessary.
[17:40] <soundray> Threethan: then take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[17:40] <krunchyfrog> can someone help me make phpwiki or some other wiki system work?  phpwiki does not install correctly as I can figure it out
[17:40] <lore20> krunchyfrog: have u any problem with LAMP server?
[17:41] <krunchyfrog> lore20: never used that..
[17:42] <lore20> krunchyfrog: so.. first at all u need to set up a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server
[17:42] <lore20> !lamp | krunchyfrog
[17:42] <krunchyfrog> oooook well I already got apache and mysql and php setup
[17:42] <krunchyfrog> sorry I just didn't figure out lamp  ;)
[17:42] <gnuskool> g'd ay
[17:43] <NicEXE> how can I install a program on Ubuntu? (I have the package, if I extract it somewhere i can launch the program normally) Is there any procedure that make an installer handle this kind of files?
[17:43] <lore20> gnuskool: g'd day
[17:43] <lore20> krunchyfrog: try another CMS... search for it on google
[17:44] <soundray> NicEXE: you would normally get your software from an Ubuntu repository
[17:44] <soundray> !software > NicEXE
[17:44] <NicEXE> thanx
[17:44] <gnuskool> NicEXE: dpkg --install then the package name
[17:45] <BitWraith> does anybody here use lubi?
[17:45] <sysop1972> I have one question about mountpoints..  is the mountpoint for a secondary hard drive the equivalent of going to d: drive in windows?  Does this mean that it is where I need to go to in order to locate the drive?
[17:46] <BitWraith> sysop1972, essentially, yes
[17:46] <BitWraith> it's typed a little differently, but it still gets you to the drive's files... same thing.
[17:46] <soundray> sysop1972: yes, but only once it's mounted
[17:47] <v6F3hY-Ufml> I'm having a problem where apache (httpd) won't start, and also doesn't produce any errors in the log =( any ideas?
[17:47] <BitWraith> right, I thought you already mentioned that. :-)
[17:47] <lore20> v6F3hY-Ufml: sudo dpkg-reconfigure apache(2)
[17:47] <BitWraith> v6F3hY-Ufml, did you try starting it by hand to see what is said in the terminal?
[17:47] <BitWraith> uh, or that. *shuts up*
[17:48] <powertool08> What is a good VPN client for ubuntu?
[17:48] <sysop1972> bitwraith : I have a folder /home/smbuser where I have subfolders that are shared with windows clients.  I am adding a 2nd drive for extra storage for the windows clients.  Should I make my mount point within /home/smbuser?
[17:48] <v6F3hY-Ufml> yes, it reports as if it has started in the terminal, but nothing appears in either the 'task manager' nor the netstat listening commands
[17:48] <v6F3hY-Ufml> lore20: htanks
[17:48] <soundray> sysop1972: did you have a look at the link in the newdrive factoid from ubottu?
[17:49] <sysop1972> soundtray : I am reading the other link.. the ubuntu help link for adding a new drive
[17:49] <cool> hi  ho do i setup gyachi
[17:49] <Bladesman> /cls
[17:50] <Bladesman> Anyone using getmail/fetchmail/anything to pull mail off imap.gmail.com?
[17:51] <Kn_> join/ ubuntu.de
[17:51] <Kn_> join/ ubuntu#de
[17:51] <Kn_> how do i enter german ubuntu chat?
[17:51] <omar_> type /join
[17:52] <omar_> try this
[17:52] <omar_> type  : /join #ubuntu-de
[17:52] <NicEXE> I need to install a program but the file type is in *.tar.gz format (not deb) how can i install this kind of file types?
[17:52] <zmyrgel> what could disable my left arrow key?
[17:52] <zmyrgel> I use custom xmodmap but it has worked just fine on arch linux and on openbsd
[17:52] <omar_> NicEXE, you need to extract your file
[17:52] <soundray> sysop1972: if it was my system, I'd do the mounting under a system directory (as it is a system task). Then one can create user directories inside the new drive, and set up symbolic links from home directories as is required in your case.
 v6F3hY-Ufml: sudo dpkg-reconfigure apache2 [no effect =/]
[17:52] <omar_> NicEXE, then you must compile it yourself
[17:53] <Charlesboy> hello everyone(hola a todos)
[17:53] <rob`> My printer supports duplex printing, but the option isn't available when i go to page setup in the print dialog, the only option is one-sided
[17:53] <cool> how do i setup  hi how do i setup gyachi?
[17:53] <Charlesboy> can you help me?

[17:54] <v6F3hY-Ufml> I'm having a problem where apache (httpd) won't start, and also doesn't produce any errors in the log =( any ideas?
[17:54] <tommyd> i.e. it does not seem to be included in the main repositories
[17:54] <tommyd> (I don't like to add untrusted / unknown sources just to get this one single package)
[17:54] <Bladesman> Use: tar -zxvf <package.tgz
[17:55] <cool>  hi how do i setup gyachi?
[17:55] <NoiseEee> is KDE unadvisable to install?
[17:55] <Charlesboy> somone know about backtrack?
[17:55] <soundray> NoiseEee: no. Install kubuntu-desktop to get the full environment with applications.
[17:56] <cool>  hi how do i setup gyachi?
[17:56] <Bladesman> Install it in /usr/local if it isn't a standard package.
[17:56] <soundray> !repeat | cool
[17:56] <NoiseEee> soundray: thanks
[17:56] <NoiseEee> and does anyone know why I can ping my XP box, and see the name of the computer, but not any of the 'shared drives'?  my user/pass is exactly the same on both machines...

[18:00] <omar_> it's gparted that crashes
[18:00] <Aethelred> I'm running 8.04LTS. When a New Window is created by Firefox, it is drawn over the top of the previous window. How can I get new windows to cascade, ie: shifted down and to the right?
[18:01] <rob`> omar_, tried fdisk?
[18:01] <aRahim> wanna start from termianl to get the errors why gparted crashes
[18:01] <aRahim> terminal*
[18:01] <omar_> is it loaded with xubuntu liveC D?
[18:01] <gpled> is there a replacement of outlook 2003 connecting to exchange 2007?
[18:01] <aRahim> yah it is
[18:02] <aRahim> Use GParted Live CD
[18:02] <omar_> rob`, i cannot setup windows, and i have deleted all the partitions, even gparted crashes when i tried to do something ( im using xubuntu livecd now )
[18:03] <rob`> omar_, are you sure the hdd is alright?
[18:03] <outbackwifi> gpled: zimbra
[18:03] <sysop1972> should there be a /etc/fstab file by default?
[18:03] <soundray> sysop1972: yes
[18:03] <sysop1972> hmm...
[18:03] <outbackwifi> sysop1972: only if the OS is linux
[18:03] <omar_> rob`, normally yeah, cause i didn't anything hamrful, just tried to set boot and lba on the first part
[18:04] <soundray> outbackwifi: that should be taken for granted in this channel...
[18:04] <aRahim> sysop1972: but it wont contain mount points of other partitions except / and swap
[18:04] <Charlesboy> hey can you help me with backtrack?
[18:04] <sysop1972> I was trying to modify it as the link said but I do not see the file.  I even enabled hidden files
[18:04] <soundray> sysop1972: how are you trying to 'see' it?
[18:04] <sysop1972> I was using skyte
[18:05] <sysop1972> skite
[18:05] <omar_> aRahim, gparted liveCD is based on gparted ?
[18:05] <aRahim> Omar Yes
[18:05]  * outbackwifi wonders what happened to good ole vi
[18:05] <soundray> sysop1972: what's that?
[18:05] <powertool08> it was replaced by nano!
[18:05] <aRahim> sysop1972: you wanna edit fstab,right?
[18:05] <sysop1972> its a gui text editor
[18:06] <gpled> outbackwifi: that for replacing exchange 2007?  which is not going to happen.  its not my server
[18:06] <sysop1972> yes
[18:06] <aRahim> sysop1972: have to use root to edit fstab
[18:06] <merther> is there a way to hide all the joining and disconnecting in this chat?
[18:06] <outbackwifi> gpled: you want to replace your client?
[18:06] <aRahim> sysop1972: i mean sudo
[18:06] <sysop1972> I tried gksudo gedit but nothing happened
[18:06] <omar_> aRahim, then it probably won't work for me :D
[18:06] <soundray> sysop1972: what happens when you run 'gksudo gedit /etc/fstab' in terminal?
[18:07] <gpled> outbackwifi: yes. im running ubuntu 8.04, and need to connect to exchange 2007
[18:07]  * outbackwifi or vi /etc/fstab
[18:07] <NoiseEee> merther: its probably a setting in yr client
[18:07] <outbackwifi> gpled: isnt thunderbird or evolution good enuff?
[18:07] <sysop1972> I am rebooting because I did not reboot after formatting new drive. Maybe it was a glitc
[18:07] <soundray> sysop1972: hold on!
[18:07] <gpled> outbackwifi: evolution was, but it does not work with 2007
[18:07] <merther> I thought so too but I couldn't find anything in XChat
[18:07] <sysop1972> ok I am holding
[18:07] <outbackwifi> gpled: wine is your best friend then
[18:08] <JayDee>  gpled: Evolution is your best bet.. it will *pretty* much work with Outlook OWA mode. (depending on what the exchange server allows)
[18:08] <soundray> sysop1972: if your /etc/fstab really isn't there, then you won't be able to boot. So let's be sure what's going on first.
[18:08] <gpled> outbackwifi: using virtualbox.  but would like to go native
[18:08] <soundray> sysop1972: do you have a terminal open?
[18:08] <aRahim> Omar Shoudl give it a try woth Live cd
[18:08] <omar_> i cannot use fdisk, it is unable to open hda
[18:08] <gpled> JayDee: yah, evolution stops at 2003
[18:08] <aRahim> omar dont now why it crashes
[18:08] <outbackwifi> sysop1972: what is the OS you are on?
[18:08] <sysop1972> soundray: yes
[18:08] <sysop1972> ubuntu
[18:08] <outbackwifi> :D
[18:08] <JayDee> gpled: no, I've used Evolution with Exchange 2007.
[18:09] <deepu> how can i install real player
[18:09] <omar_> aRahim, no idea ! do you know a simple way to erase eveyrthing ?
[18:09] <soundray> sysop1972: 'cat /etc/fstab' should just list the file. Does that work?
[18:09] <aRahim> Omar everything, the whle drive?
[18:09] <outbackwifi> sysop1972: ls -l /etc/fstab
[18:09] <gpled> JayDee: when i connect, it tells me it will not work
[18:09] <sipior> omar_: try "sudo fdisk /dev/hda"
[18:09] <outbackwifi> does that show anything at all
[18:09] <soundray> outbackwifi: please don't confuse
[18:09] <outbackwifi> gpled: thats a first one for evolution "I wont work" !!!
[18:10] <outbackwifi> soundray: ok u take this one
[18:10] <soundray> outbackwifi: :)
[18:10] <aRahim> Omar do you dual boot with windows?
[18:10] <sysop1972> sound : Yes that works
[18:10] <gpled> outbackwifi: at lest it does not lead me along :)
[18:10] <deepu> hi iam new to ubuntu
[18:10] <aRahim> hi deepu
[18:10] <omar_> sipior, i did it but the answer is the same :(
[18:10] <sidewalk> how do i partition disks with gui in Ubuntu?
[18:10] <deepu> can any one tell me how to install real player
[18:10] <sipior> omar_: how about /dev/sda, instead?
[18:10] <deepu> hi
[18:11] <aRahim> sidewalk: install GParted
[18:11] <soundray> sysop1972: have you found out the device name of the new drive?
[18:11] <dooglus> !realplayer
[18:11] <omar_> sipior, thx it is working :D
[18:11] <aRahim> Omar sudo fdisk -l will giev you a good idea
[18:11] <gpled> JayDee: where you connecting to the imap service?
[18:11] <sidewalk> oh thanks
[18:11] <sysop1972> sound : should be sdb1
[18:11] <sidewalk> but i cant install anything :D
[18:11] <v6F3hY-Ufml> Hi, I'm having a problem where apache2 (httpd) will not start, and doesn't report any errors during starting, stopping, nor in the log files or via the netstat monitoring command :[, any ideas?
[18:12] <soundray> sysop1972: that's a partition device name. So you've already partitioned it?
[18:12] <sysop1972> yes
[18:12] <omar_> aRahim, fdisk can access to /dev/sda but what must i do then ?
[18:12] <v6F3hY-Ufml> there also isn't a httpd process in the 'task manager' nor one seen through the netstat
[18:12] <soundray> sysop1972: have you formatted it, too?
[18:12] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: what does apachectl configtest tell you?
[18:12] <sysop1972> yup
[18:12] <omar_> i have fdisk specific command line
[18:12] <Boglizk> What kind of themes should i download?
[18:13] <sysop1972> and I created a mount point
[18:13] <Charlesboy> any can help me?
[18:13] <soundray> sysop1972: and have you checked that it mounts okay?
[18:13] <sysop1972> I am trying to create automount now
[18:13] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: do you have apache installed?
[18:13] <soundray> sysop1972: let's try a manual mount before you do that.
[18:13] <sysop1972> ok
[18:13] <soundray> sysop1972: 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt'
[18:13] <v6F3hY-Ufml> there isn't a apachectl command
[18:13] <v6F3hY-Ufml> yes, it wouldn't start otherwise, no?
[18:14] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: isnt that your problem; apache not starting?
[18:14] <sysop1972> should /mnt be substituted with the mount point i created?
[18:14] <Polarina> I'm sorry, I got disconnected after I asked my question.  Did anyone respond to my question I asked eqrlier?
[18:15] <v6F3hY-Ufml> apache doesn't seem to actually start, or it may start and stop very quickly, but it doesn't report any errors while starting via the normal start command, and this started happening a few days ago, before which it was working fine
[18:15] <Polarina> s/eqrlier/earlier/
[18:15] <omar_> Polarina, your question was ?
[18:15] <soundray> sysop1972: this should come back with no error. Then do a 'df -h /mnt' to see how much space there is
[18:15] <Polarina> omar_: After resuming from a suspend, the computer asks me for my password.   I went to the folder where I set the mountpoint and it has more free space that the rest
[18:18] <outbackwifi> yes
[18:18] <steveire> !irc
[18:18] <soundray> Polarina: open gconf-editor, find the key /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend and un-tick it
[18:18] <Polarina> soundray: Thank you.
[18:18] <omar_> Polarina, sorry i had an idea and it wasnt the correct parameter ! i cannot help you further
[18:18] <aRahim> soundray: gave the solution
[18:19] <cool> can any one help me??
[18:19] <cool> what can  i ues to im and cam for yahoo  ssome one be for sayd  gyachi but the gyachi page dont have a noth  infor
[18:19] <steveire> Hi, is there a very simple guide for someone who is afraid of computers to get onto irc? Something like open xchat, click the button type stuff?
[18:19] <steveire> No mumbo jumbo
[18:19] <soundray> sysop1972: now, to edit fstab, try 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' in terminal
[18:19] <v6F3hY-Ufml> "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start -f" ?
[18:19] <outbackwifi> steveire: do you use firefox?
[18:20] <Varox> hi
[18:20] <soundray> steveire: perhaps on youtube?
[18:20] <steveire> outbackwifi: Yes, but it's not for me. It's for a friend.
[18:20] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: nope /path/to/httpd -F
[18:20] <steveire> I use kde, but he got a ubuntu/gnome cd, which I haven't used
[18:20] <Varox> do you know how to count the lines of all files recursivly ?
[18:20] <outbackwifi> steveire: try chatzilla
[18:21] <outbackwifi> varox: i guess i do
[18:21] <sysop1972> soundray: nope.. it opened my password box but after I entered it nothing happened
[18:21] <aRahim> steveire: its very easy
[18:21] <steveire> I to give him a link with screenshots and get him into this chatroom. He's having trouble playing dvds
[18:21] <dooglus> Varox: find . -type f | xargs cat | wc -l
[18:21] <soundray> sysop1972: what do you mean by 'password box'?
[18:21] <Varox> dooglus: thanks
[18:21] <chris062689> Hey guys! :)
[18:21] <steveire> aRahim: Is xchat preconfigured to use freenode and enter this channel?
[18:21] <outbackwifi> hey chris
[18:21] <sysop1972> for the sudo password
[18:21] <steveire> aRahim: Because I don't think it was the last time I checked
[18:21] <outbackwifi> steveire: you need to configure xchat to do that
[18:22] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outbackwifi: isn't that the same thing?
[18:22] <aRahim> just type /server irc.freenode.net and then type join #ubuntu Thats it. Simple
[18:22] <chris062689> I got a question, which is.. more updated, glade or glade-gtk?
[18:22] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: nope
[18:22] <soundray> sysop1972: if you entered the command that I gave you, there shouldn't have been any 'box'
[18:22] <aRahim> steveire just type /server irc.freenode.net and then type join #ubuntu Thats it. Simple
[18:22] <steveire> outbackwifi: konversation comes preconfigured to do it. Anyway, Is there a simple screenshot guide?
[18:22] <dooglus> aRahim: I think you'll need a slash before the join there
[18:23] <sysop1972> soundray : I typed what you said..
[18:23] <soundray> steveire: xchat-gnome connects to #ubuntu by default
[18:23] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outbackwifi: then what do you mean?
[18:23] <mib_5xjl22> hello there! sorry to bother you all, I'm kinda ignorant when it comes to this, I just installed Ubuntu but unfortunately it doesn't detect the network card (which is even beeping and was working before)... any easy way to solve this ?!
[18:23] <steveire> aRahim: It's not for me. I have to send an email to a friend on how to do it, but he's not online now for me to talk him through it
[18:23] <sysop1972> soundray: something is starting to open now..
[18:23] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: I mean, locate the httpd binary and spawn it using this command
[18:23] <sysop1972> soundray: not sure whats with the lag..
[18:23] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: which httpd
[18:23] <aRahim> its just a 3 step guide really
[18:23] <soundray> sysop1972: did you type sudo or gksudo?
[18:23] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: should tell you the location of httpd
[18:24] <aRahim> stevie just choose a nick from the chat client and enter the commands
[18:24] <steveire> soundray: The last time I opened xchat, I was confronted with a modal dialog, I had to choose a server and I had to choose a channel. That's fine for me, but he won't have a clue. Are you saying it's different noew?
[18:24] <sysop1972> soundray:  hmmm not sure if it is going to work... its all gray.
[18:24] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outback wifi: doesn't say nothin? I guess that means it has disappeared (or uninstalled) somehow?
[18:24] <steveire> aRahim: It's not for me. I'm here already :)
[18:24] <soundray> steveire: I can't speak about xchat. xchat-gnome is a different program, and it comes preconfigured as I said.
[18:24] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: youve hit the nail on the head
[18:25] <aRahim> steveire: i know :D
[18:25] <v6F3hY-Ufml> "sudo which httpd"
[18:25] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: so please install it
[18:25] <sysop1972> sound: sudo
[18:25] <steveire> soundray: Ah, thanks
[18:25] <Ghufran> hi all
[18:25] <Ghufran> i have a trivial problem
[18:25] <sysop1972> soundray : there it is finally open
[18:25] <soundray> sysop1972: what does the terminal show at this moment?
[18:25] <Vagilinux> i use ubuntu and there is no root.......its the only distro i could get to install properly though. Here's the problem I'm running into: there's a configuration file to change the network workgroup, but I can't edit it because it is read only. It says the owner of the fille is root. No root. Any suggestions?
[18:25] <aRahim> steveire: xchat will pop up a Network List and he can select irc.freenode.net and start chatting
[18:25] <Ghufran> but its bugging me a lot
[18:25] <soundray> sysop1972: what's open?
[18:25] <omar_> Ghufran, what is your problem ?
[18:25] <outbackwifi> vagilinux: sudo is your friend
[18:25] <sysop1972> soundray: doh, now it is gray again
[18:25] <Ghufran> i need to dtop Ubuntu to beep whenever i press tab for completion
[18:25] <eirik_> steveire: make sure he gets the package "xchat-gnome" instead of "xchat". as soundray said xchat-gnome automatically connects to ubuntu server
[18:26] <Pici> Vagilinux: The root account exists, but is locked. Use sudo to gain root access.
[18:26] <Ghufran> stop*
[18:26] <soundray> Ghufran: please say what it is and keep it on one line
[18:26] <Pici> !sudo > Vagilinux
[18:26] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outbackwifi: do you know what is the reinstall command, because it doesn't want to install what it already says is installed?
[18:26] <sumit> hi.. what's the fastest way to compile a new kernel and install a new kernel in ubuntu? i am comparing it with fedora, where it is relatively quicker to change the kernel. Currently, for ubuntu, i am following make-kpkg method.. is that the best option?
[18:26] <soundray> Ghufran: System-Preferences-Sound -- last tab
[18:26] <Vagilinux> Pici: thx
[18:26] <Vagilinux> !sudo
[18:26] <Pici> !kernel > sumit
[18:26] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: sudo apt-get remove apache2
[18:26] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: sudo apt-get install apache2
[18:26] <soundray> sysop1972: what does the terminal show at this moment?
[18:27] <Ghufran> soundray, awesome. thanks
[18:27] <aRahim> Ghufran: disabke the system sunds
[18:27] <sysop1972> soundray: sorry you were right.. I did GKSUDO... the lag was gedit opening from earlier
[18:27] <Ghufran> yea aRahim.. got that!
[18:27] <aRahim> Ghufran: disable the system sounds *
[18:27] <soundray> sysop1972: okay, so where do we pick up?
[18:27] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outback: that is the command I used, it says already installed, and does nothing
[18:27] <sysop1972> soundray: now I have it open in nano
[18:28] <soundray> sysop1972: good. Do you know what to do from the guide?
[18:28] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outbackwifi: it says "apache2" is already the newest version
[18:28] <outbackwifi> when you say remove?
[18:28] <sysop1972> soundray: yup thanks
[18:29] <dooglus> Ghufran: turn show-all-if-ambiguous on in inputrc
[18:30] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: sudo apt-get remove apache2 cannot say its the newest version
[18:30] <outbackwifi> thats illogical
[18:30] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outbackwifi: so overall it had no effect
[18:30] <dooglus> popey: what if I want something from a standard ubuntu repo?  universe/multiverse is OK
[18:30] <dooglus> popey: sorry.  don't know why that came back
[18:31] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outbackwifi: I did remove, and reinstall, and then start, but it is not appearing in the system monitor, and which httpd produces no results
[18:31] <chris062689> Whats the difference between GLADE and GLADE-GTK?  Is one better than the other / more updated?
[18:31] <soundray> dooglus: should show-all-if-ambiguous be in inputrc by default?
[18:31] <eirik_> v6F3hY-Ufml, : is your system monitor set to view all running processes? (View - All Processes)
[18:31] <Parallx> I have to buy a new graphic card should I stay with nVidia or go to ATI with the new drivers?
[18:32] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufm: what does tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log tell you?
[18:32] <chris062689> What are you going to use it for Parallx?
[18:32] <v6F3hY-Ufml> eirik_: yes
[18:32] <powertool08> What directory has the kernel source code?
[18:32] <cobra__> irc.ubuntu.it
[18:32] <dooglus> soundray: only if you want bash to show all completions when the completion is ambiguous
[18:32] <pistache> powertool08 :
[18:32] <dooglus> soundray: the default is to beep on the first tab, and complete on the 2nd
[18:32] <pistache> powertool08 : /usr/src/
[18:32] <Parallx> chris062689: I need 3d acceleration and get a powerfull one
[18:32] <pistache> powertool08 : But you need the linux-source-* package
[18:32] <cobra__> #ubuntu.it
[18:32] <dooglus> soundray: I don't think ~/.inputrc exists by default - but I don't remember
[18:32] <chris062689> For what program though? Parallx?
[18:33] <powertool08> pistache: thanks, and I have it
[18:33] <chris062689> I mean, most 3d games don't require that much power (on linux)
[18:33] <v6F3hY-Ufml> !pastebin
[18:33] <dooglus> Ghufran: run this, then start a new terminal, and the beeping will be gone:    echo 'set show-all-if-ambiguous on' >> ~/.inputrc
[18:33] <Parallx> from blender to gimp (with really high resolution images) to games
[18:33] <soundray> dooglus: I see. Can you tell me what it is that governs the behaviour of Alt-# commenting the current line?
[18:33] <sysop1972> soundray: how do I save with nano?
[18:33] <eirik_> v6F3hY-Ufml: try writing /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[18:33] <eirik_> to see if the apache daemon is running
[18:33] <dooglus> soundray: the hash key?  or does the # represent a number?
[18:33] <soundray> sysop1972: should tell you at the bottom. Ctrl-O to write out, I think
[18:33] <chris062689> Parallx I got a 9600GT and it runs great, though I think the only diff between 8800 and 9600 is the DX10
[18:34] <Parallx> chris062689: i heard about new ati drivers or that they were going to be more open
[18:34] <soundray> dooglus: no, I mean the hash key
[18:34] <cool> what can  i ues to im and cam for yahoo  ssome one be for sayd  gyachi but the gyachi page dont have a noth  infor
[18:34] <aRahim> sysop1972: CTRL+O
[18:34] <Ghufran> ok dooglus thanks
[18:34] <Parallx> but DX10 is not working on linux so....
[18:34] <dooglus> soundray: as in shift-3?  what does it do?
[18:34] <chris062689> yeah, so I'd go with the 8800
[18:34] <chris062689> or 8600
[18:34] <Parallx> chris062689: stick with nvidia then, right?
[18:34] <chris062689> yeah, nvidia > ati on Linux.
[18:35] <chris062689> You'll have to use Envy with the newer cards
[18:35] <chris062689> But in Ibex the drivers for them are in the hardware manager.
[18:35] <v6F3hY-Ufml> outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44608
[18:35] <eirik_> chris062689: why is that? does ATI suck at OpenGL?
[18:35] <Parallx> thanks
[18:35] <differentreality> hi, does anyone konw how to use ntfsundelete ? it's an emergency :/ thanks
[18:35] <soundray> dooglus: no, what I mean is this: when I hit Alt-# (not a number, literally the hash key), it comments the current line and goes to a new one (as if I had done Ctrl-A # Return). I like this behaviour, but I don't get it everywhere.
[18:35] <dooglus> soundray: it looks like M-# is bound to insert-comment by default
[18:36] <dooglus> soundray: "man readline", search for M-#
[18:36] <soundray> dooglus: where can I look up such bindings, please?
[18:36] <soundray> dooglus: cool, thank you!
[18:36] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufml: looks like your php5 installation is broken
[18:36] <cool> what can  i ues to im and cam for yahoo  some one be for sayd  gyachi but the gyachi page dont have a noth  infor
[18:36] <outbackwifi> v6F3hY-Ufml: why dont you reinstall it?
[18:36] <v6F3hY-Ufml> i think those errors are unrelated
[18:37] <cool> any  time sound
[18:37] <Polarina> Is it really a good idea to store a Li-Ion battery in the fridge (4°C) while not in use?
[18:37] <Zaiden> When I installed wine, it didn't give me a wine menu in the applications menu. It does now, but it doesn't have the wine logo, and it doesn't give options to configure wine or remove programs, only the program folders. Is there a way to fix this?
[18:37] <dooglus> soundray: I guess M-# will do that in any program which uses readline for its input
[18:37]  * outbackwifi thinks polarina could use his fridge for beer and not lion batteries
[18:38] <soundray> dooglus: strangely, bash puts the commented line in the history, but mysql discards it.
[18:38] <Polarina> Zaiden: Open up winecfg.
[18:38] <Polarina> outbackwifi: :P
[18:38] <Zaiden> What if I want to uninstall wine programs?
[18:38] <Polarina> outbackwifi: Wikipedia recommended it, and to have the battery charged at 40% before storing.
[18:38] <soundray> Polarina: no. NiMH and Alkaline cells last longer in the fridge. LiIon are best stored at room temperature, charged to about half of their capacity.
[18:38] <Parallx> Polarina: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/images/parttwo-34.gif
[18:38] <Polarina> outbackwifi: Sounds odd to me.
[18:39] <outbackwifi> polarina: what does?
[18:39] <raw> hello
[18:39] <differentreality> Anyone knowing how to use ntfsundelete in ubuntu to recover all files of a partition ? I misused rm command :( thanks
[18:39] <raw> i cant set the theme style i want on ubuntu
[18:39] <raw> where can i go to get help ?
[18:39] <cool> any im let me ues cam and voice
[18:39]  * outbackwifi wishes differentreality all the best
[18:39] <dooglus> soundray: I guess that what to story in the history might well be application dependent, rather than a feature of readline itself
[18:39] <differentreality> heh outbackwifi tnx :S
[18:40] <raw> where to go to get help with themes on ubuntu ?
[18:40] <soundray> Polarina: perhaps the wikipedia author lives in tropical climates, in which case that advice is probably correct
[18:40] <soundray> dooglus: it must be.
[18:40] <Polarina> soundray: Yeah.
[18:40] <outbackwifi> raw: gnome-look.org
[18:40] <Aethelred> I'm running 8.04LTS. When a New Window is created by Firefox, it is drawn over the top of the previous window. How can I get new windows to cascade, ie: shifted down and to the right?
[18:40] <outbackwifi> raw: each of the themes has an installation guide
[18:41] <steveire> Is pidgin in the default ubuntu install?
[18:41] <JayDee> What would cause random apps to crash in 8.04, or upon launch appear with a blank window without the UI widgets?
[18:41] <soundray> dooglus: sometimes I wonder whether it's really worth configuring things to that level of detail...
[18:41] <Polarina> steveire: Yes.
[18:41] <cool> remove the add on
[18:41] <raw> outbackwifi, i went there i found the theme but no help for installation
[18:41] <hasiba> What's a sound size for a /boot partition?
[18:41] <outbackwifi> Aethelred: that behavior should not be limited to firefox; if you open multiple terminals it would happen too
[18:41] <soundray> JayDee: first thing to exclude is bad RAM. Run memtest86 from the grub menu for a few hours
[18:41] <outbackwifi> hasiba: i wouldnt waste more than 128 MB
[18:41] <SchmittyDoesIt> hasiba: you shouldn't need a boot partition
[18:41] <dooglus> soundray: did you see control-U in bash?  it does something similar, but instead of commenting the current line, it deletes it and makes it available in control-Y for later pasting
[18:42] <Aethelred> outbackwifi: that's not what's happening on my box.
[18:42] <cool> any im let me ues cam and voice
[18:42] <lisa_> #ubuntu-de
[18:42] <outbackwifi> cool: kopete
[18:42] <omar_> cool, try aMsn
[18:42] <soundray> dooglus: :) kind of like Ctrl-A Ctrl-K, which I use all the time...
[18:42] <JayDee> soundray: Is there a way I could get some sort of info on what this is doing? like a log file.. it has even happened to GDM.
[18:42] <dooglus> soundray: I run all my command-line stuff inside an Emacs shell, so I get a totally consistant history/editing interface for everything, rather than having to worry whether mysql/bash/python/etc... offer the same interface
[18:43] <cool> dont work  is amsn for all im?
[18:43] <raw> outbackwifi, i extracted the theme and copy paste it in ~/.themes folder but while trying to change the theme it doesnt appears in my themes.
[18:43] <soundray> JayDee: try the dmesg command and look in /var/log/syslog
[18:43] <outbackwifi> raw: you need to install the theme using the theme wizard
[18:43] <outbackwifi> raw
[18:43] <outbackwifi> raw: dont extract it on your own
[18:43] <Denise> private network
[18:44] <raw> outbackwifi, i did tar zxf theme.name.tar.gz
[18:44] <JayDee> soundray: system was stable before on 7.10, on upgrade to 8.04 problems started happening immediately. dmesg /var/log is clean.
[18:44] <eirik_> cool: amsn is for MSN only
[18:44] <bobertdos> So when creating a separate home partition, no home directory gets created in the root partition, right?
[18:44] <JayDee> dmesg AND various stuff in /var/log I mean.
[18:44] <soundray> dooglus: yes... I think I remember you telling me that before. I have my special little trouble with emacs, though
[18:44] <assargadon> I made pipeline with gst-launch. Now I can hear sound from my speakers, when I talking somwthing into microphon. How can I broke this pipeline?
[18:44] <raw> outbackwifi, where can i find theme wizard to install it? in themes it says install. while trying to install it i got an error.
[18:44] <dooglus> soundray: it's not for everyone, that's for sure
[18:45] <dooglus> bobertdos: root's home will still be in the root partition, and an empty /home mount point will also be created in the root partition
[18:46] <cool> any for yahoo im?
[18:46] <dooglus> cool: pidgin
[18:46] <outbackwifi> raw: this seems pretty old --> http://www.msccompcasts.com/2005/05/how-to-install-themes.html
[18:46] <outbackwifi> cool: kopete
[18:46] <omar_> cool try yahoo messenger for linux
[18:46] <dooglus> cool: ah - but no cam/voice in pidgin
[18:46] <eirik_> cool: but pidgin doesnt have cam support.  its a nice all-in-one IM tho
[18:46] <cool> piding dont do cams or voice
[18:47] <raw> thx
[18:47] <raw> i will take a llok
[18:47] <raw> look
[18:47] <outbackwifi> cool: skype for linux for full voice and cam support
[18:47] <omar_> cool, try yahoo messenger for linux
[18:47] <soundray> dooglus: I use it for most of my editing, but I hit some annoyances that I can neither explain nor debug. For example, I get cursor placement problems when I use it in gnome-terminal -- I have to hit Ctrl-L all the time to be sure that the display contents and buffer contents match.
[18:47] <steveire> !dvd
[18:47] <dooglus> soundray: which emacs?
[18:47] <bobertdos> dooglus: So if all goes well, I assume the installer puts an entry in fstab for home to mount to that point, yes?
[18:47] <cool> that dont have voice or cams
[18:48] <dooglus> soundray: oh, and why would you want to run emacs in a gnome-terminal, rather than using a gtk-linked emacs?
[18:48] <dooglus> bobertdos: right
[18:48] <soundray> dooglus: 21.3.1 on a remote feisty machine
[18:48] <dooglus> soundray: oh, I see - because it's remote and you don't want to do X forwarding
[18:48] <dooglus> soundray: I run a gtk emacs locally, and use TRAMP to edit remote files
[18:49] <dooglus> soundray: but that's not efficient if the remote files are huge
[18:49] <soundray> dooglus: I could do X forwarding, but I like the fact that with GNU screen, I can start editing something at work and can pick up exactly where I was from home
[18:49] <bobertdos> dooglus: Okay, good, all I wanted to know, thanks!
[18:50]  * Polarina uses laptops for servers.
[18:50] <dooglus> soundray: does the problem with cursor positioning only happen once you've moved your screen from work to home?  could it be the changing size of the screen that's messing things up?
[18:51]  * outbackwifi thinks polarina has considerate customers
[18:51] <soundray> JayDee: one way to narrow down the problem a bit would be to use a gutsy live CD and a hardy one for a while, to see if and when the problem occurs and whether it is perhaps limited to your harddisk installation
[18:51] <mik3> hi, when my machine boots the splash screen is off by half. when i log in ubuntu automagically corrects it and aligned my resolution properly. how can I fix the original problem? I tried redoing my dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to see if maybe its defualt settings got changed somewhere but that did not work.
[18:52] <JayDee> soundray: This is actually a office deployment of Ubuntu. We upgraded all the systems and i've only had issues with this one.
[18:52] <outbackwifi> mik3: which splash screen?
[18:52] <mik3> outbackwifi: the log on screen
[18:52] <soundray> dooglus: it could well be. I notice a problem with 'ls' column output as well, but mutt and other programs are fine
[18:52] <outbackwifi> mik3: gdm?
[18:52] <JayDee> soundray: it does have a radeon x1300 card, all the rest have intel or nvidia.
[18:52] <mik3> outbackwifi: the log on screen and the ubuntu boot progress screen
[18:52] <mik3> outbackwifi: yeah gdm
[18:53] <soundray> JayDee: tried switching from ati to fglrx or vice versa?
[18:53] <outbackwifi> mik3: arent they two different things? the boot progress screen has got nothing to do with X
[18:53] <JayDee> soundray: also, I don't think it would be ram, because all the apps crash the same way. blank windows without the UI elements. or.. stop responding (ie stop drawing the UI elements)
[18:53] <JayDee> soundray: I did move it from vesa, that it was on to fglrx.
[18:53] <Ripfox> Hey all
[18:53] <JayDee> soundray: no change.
[18:53] <Polarina> outbackwifi: What do you mean? Laptops are the best - builtin UPS, acceptable performance, easy to reorganise the internal structure. We have laptops stacked on top of eachother.
[18:54] <mik3> outbackwifi: well whatever, either way it's misaligned and i want to fix it.
[18:54] <soundray> JayDee: I doubt that it's the graphics' fault then
[18:54] <outbackwifi> polarina: acceptable performance?
[18:54] <rich_> back again........why would some WMV files play and some will not...odd
[18:54] <Polarina> outbackwifi: And they eat up very little place. Sure, it's more expensive, but all the extra features it brings - you can't deny it. :)
[18:54] <outbackwifi> rich_: youve run into mr gates DRM
[18:54] <JayDee> soundray: we tried to test his session as he was upgraded by having him login to another system (using exported nfs home's).
[18:54] <b3z3rk3r> lol outbackwifi
[18:54] <b3z3rk3r> too true
[18:54] <rich_> mr gates?
[18:55] <rich_> hmmm
[18:55] <JayDee> soundray: he had no problems with that so its something on this system itself.. but damm if I can figure it out.
[18:55] <cheeky> can anyone please help me ...i  havent moved on with even trying out ubuntu for the last seven hours ... here is my forum thread... please if anyone has some times please help me out :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=913982

[18:55] <gafatoa> hello, Do you know if main site Ubuntu's ISO is "patched" ?
[18:55] <rich_> and what is a DRM?
[18:55] <JayDee> soundray: when it gets into its error state, dmesg, and logs are clear. processor is idle, and ram is generally 30% used.
[18:56] <cool> yes its a iso
[18:56] <outbackwifi> rich_:  Digital Rights Management
[18:56] <rich_> ah yes...that
[18:56] <rich_> Rats!

[19:03] <cheeky> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=913982
[19:03] <soundray> cheeky: have you tried disabling RAID in the BIOS?
[19:03] <cheeky> this is my problem
[19:04] <cheeky> no if i dot wouldnt it detect my HDDS?
[19:04] <dooglus> soundray: oh, I see.  "C-\ runs the command toggle-input-method"
[19:05] <dooglus> soundray: so I hit C-\, type british, hit return and then S-3 inserts a sterling sign
[19:06] <soundray> dooglus: I'm getting "Can't activate input method `rfc1345'"
[19:08] <dooglus> soundray: what if you put this line at the end of your ~/.emacs :              (set-input-method "british")
[19:08] <differentreality> does anyone know this error and how to fix ti?  Transport endpoint is not connected
[19:08] <differentreality> *ti = it
[19:09] <cheeky> any question ... just dissapeared ... again for the millionth time .. andihave spend 7 freaking hours trying to get this .. up and running
[19:09] <dxdemetriou> when I try to ping or ssh some machine from the network using the name it don't work, but smb://machineName works. can I make the machines on the network to work using the machine name?
[19:09] <outbackwifi> differentreality: what is the context?
[19:09] <un> anyone know of a nice channel that would know about some Makefile.am debuggin' eh? keeps generating bogus rules...
[19:09] <askand> I showed the ubuntu livecd for a friend but it was painfully slow...But he can run windows XP on it..ideas? why can this be?
[19:10] <Orbixx> dxdemetriou: Not as far as I know.
[19:10] <outbackwifi> askand: windowsXP off liveCD?
[19:10] <soundray> dooglus: I get a pound symbol on the left of the status line now, but S-3 seems to be bound to backward-word
[19:10] <Orbixx> The reason why it works by SMB is because Windows uses netbios which resolves machine names to IP addresses.
[19:10] <askand> outbackwifi: nah ubuntu
[19:10] <Orbixx> Something which I think Linux doesn't do.
[19:10] <outbackwifi> askand: are you comparing apples to apples?
[19:11] <cheeky> does anyone know about .. thsi problem ... soi cant get my old computer back .. coz ubuntu screwed me over
[19:11] <differentreality> outbackwifi,  i run ubuntu and I have a ntfs partition.  I used ntfsundelete on that partition, because I accidentally execurted rm * (ntfsundelete was unsuccessful unfortunately).  I tried to access the partition and I got this message.  I tried to mount it again and I get this message along with a couple more, as well as I get a message saying that according to mtab my partition is already mounted.
[19:11] <askand> outbackwifi: ? I just want to know what the reason can be that the livecd is so slow
[19:11] <outbackwifi> askand: running anything off liveCD depends a lot on the RAM available
[19:11] <cheeky> any one?
[19:11] <dxdemetriou> Orbixx, ok, but isn't somehow funny to connect with ssh using windows but not from linux?
[19:11] <askand> outbackwifi: ok so the probems might disappear if he installs ubuntu?
[19:11] <Orbixx> dxdemetriou: That didn't make any sense.
[19:11] <outbackwifi> askand: sure
[19:11] <soundray> cheeky: have you tried disabling RAID in the BIOS? Please give an answer that makes sense
[19:12] <askand> outbackwifi: can it have something to do with a slow cdreader?
[19:12] <sharrell> I am trying to finish up a preseed network install and everything is working correctly except for the root password, I am using this line: "d-i passwd/root-password-crypted password *" but it leaves a directory listing in the password field in my /etc/shadow. Anyone have any ideas? Is my syntax wrong?
[19:12] <outbackwifi> askand: it could too
[19:12] <pistache> Hello all, does anyone provide support for selfcompiled kernels (RealTime) ?

[19:14] <dxdemetriou> I don't know much about but, is there any way to use netbios in linux for taking the machine names?

[19:17] <dxdemetriou> maybe I didn't make clear what I'm trying to do.. there are some machines dual boot with ubuntu and windows working with dhcp on the institute I work. I joined them to the domain, but I have troubles to resolve the machine names from Linux
[19:17] <phantomcircuit> why is the latest version of svn not available in the ubuntu repos?

[19:20] <cccatch> thunderdan: tools->plugins->join/part hiding
[19:20] <ePax> When i have allready icon of rhythmbox on my desktop is it possible to hide the name of it and just to have icon?
[19:20] <dxdemetriou> Orbixx, the machine from windows is called for ex. a1, and from linux a1-l. I installed samba relative packages for sharing and I could find the machine booted on linux from windows using it's name "a1-l", but from linux I couldn't. I understood the using of netbios from windows, but I'm trying to find something on linux
[19:21] <dxdemetriou> outbackwifi, what is lina?

[19:24] <pranava> outbackwifi: that link is absolete for atleast ubuntu 8.04
[19:24] <outbackwifi> why?
[19:24] <dooglus> soundray: type "C-h I RET" to describe the current input system
[19:24] <cccatch> master_: also make sure your bios configured properly (like memory remap enabled)
[19:24] <dxdemetriou> outbackwifi, I'm not trying to use linux applications on windows.. just to can remote the machines by their names
[19:24] <master_> soundray: I read in a forum that ubuntu 64bit doesn't see more than 3.21GB either..  And, I cannot get flash to install on 64bit version, either
[19:25] <wbmj> ronny: I'm pretty sure if you compile them as deb files they show up in Synaptic under local installs
[19:25] <outbackwifi> dxdemetriou: use smbclient;
[19:25] <cccatch> master_: url?
[19:25] <mar2> hey guys, i recently installed windows xp after installing ubuntu and now my grub boot menu is gone. I have tried to follow some terminal commands to reinstall the grub menu, but get an error 22: no such partition...can anyone please help :)
[19:26] <master_> cccatch: closed the browser and don't remember the exact search terms..
[19:26] <wbmj> mar2:you need to mount your HD with a live cd and reinstall grub
[19:26] <rtz3467> !grub | mar2
[19:26] <soundray> master_: amd64 supports any amount of RAM that current PC motherboards support. Installing flash is a matter of running 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree'
[19:26] <mar2> wbmj: i am running off the live cd at the moment
[19:27] <psor> mar2: reinstall your grub
[19:27] <ronny> wbmj: i cant create compatible debs, dpkg complains about overwrites by the split up dev packages
[19:27] <dxdemetriou> outbackwifi, I said that smb works. from nautilus smb://machineName works, ssh://machineName don't work. ping machineName from windows works (after installing samba packages), ping machineName from linux don't work

[19:29] <master_> soundray: I will write down the package name to install.. I searched in adept, google, and asked numerous people on irc and got no solution for installing flash for two days with 64bit installed..

[19:30] <soundray> master_: that's right, it doesn't, but Ubuntu64 automatically installs it with nspluginwrapper, which adapts it to 64bit firefox.
[19:30] <master_> ok
[19:30] <linduxed_> danielm_mc: lol
[19:30] <soundray> master_: I use it on various machines with no problems.
[19:31] <master_> I will re-install 64...   wish it were easier to find out how to do simple things like that..  I wrote down the package name you gave..
[19:31] <soundray> master_: I've had issues with Java web applets in 64bit -- you may or may not hit this problem, too
[19:32] <danielm_mc> yeah java is hell on 64bit
[19:33] <danielm_mc> sun6 openjdk is the way to go
[19:33] <outbackwifi> dxdemetriou: linux ssh does not use windows netbios machine name. it uses the dns host name or ip address
[19:33] <outbackwifi> !ssh
[19:33] <un> i need a channel with people who know about autotools, particularly the Makefile.am part
[19:34] <danielm_mc> outbackwifi : that's debatable
[19:34] <outbackwifi> danielm_mc: how so?
[19:35] <outbackwifi> or should i re-word it as linux ssh should not use windows netbios names?
[19:35] <dxdemetriou> outbackwifi, maybe I'll try to make a script that will find somehow the ip from the machine name, and then use it for ssh..
[19:35] <soundray> dooglus: I'm off, thanks for your help today.
[19:35] <outbackwifi> :o
[19:35] <danielm_mc> outback: by default it uses hostname or ip address, but depending on your systems settings acquiring that information can be done in many different ways (i.e. netbios WINS server, winbind... )
[19:35] <danielm_mc> etc etc
[19:36]  * outbackwifi is taken violently sick by the mention of so many wins in one sentence

[19:43] <outbackwifi> yep, they all died
[19:43] <Marfi> H0T_R0D, that would be modprobe
[19:43] <eccentricity> HOT_ROD: what kinda driver?
[19:43] <danielm_mc> anyone ever configure gslb on a ubuntu dns server?
[19:43] <Marfi> H0T_R0D, don't remember the file...hol.d on a sec

[19:44] <eccentricity> Oh, I see. Sergnome, what sorta troubles are you having with skype?
[19:44] <outbackwifi> sergnome: translations on the fly?
[19:44] <Sergnome> no,
[19:44] <assargadon> Is it normal I can hear sound from my speakers when talking into microphone?
[19:45] <bastid_raZor> H0T_R0D; add it to /etc/modules
[19:45] <danielm_mc> hot_rod - check /etc/modproprobe.d ; modules
[19:45] <eccentricity> aye, that should do.
[19:45] <danielm_mc> etc etc
[19:45] <outbackwifi> assargadon: yes, unless you mute the mic
[19:45] <danielm_mc> woops
[19:45] <Sergnome> i am new in ubuntyu, but allready member of translators team,
[19:45] <Sergnome> before ubuntu, i was using windows, i am programmer,
[19:45] <Marfi> H0T_R0D, i forget the name of the file to edit. you can do modprobe <driver> to start it up, also
[19:45] <assargadon> outbackwifi: and if I do it, no recording will be possible, isn't it?
[19:46] <danielm_mc> modutils as well
[19:46] <outbackwifi> assargadon:  not exactly
[19:46] <mar2> hey guys i am trying to reinstall the grub boot menu off of the ubuntu live cd and i think i am getting stuck because I am not mounting my root partition when attempting to reinstall, could someone help me out with this please...
[19:46] <mnemo> apparently, the old games "heretic" and "hexen" has been released under the GPL now --> http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=864305  would be nice to have them packaged in debian/ubuntu

[19:49] <danielm_mc> does anyone know how to set pidigin to not display when people enter and exit this chat room?
[19:49] <Marfi> mar2, check your PM
[19:49] <Marfi> danielm_mc, use xchat? =)
[19:49] <carandraug> danielm_mc: go check in the plugins list, the one called "Guifications"
[19:50] <mar2> Marfi: pm?? :P
[19:50] <Marfi> mar2, i sent you a message...should be on the side bar
[19:50] <mar2> marfi: how do i do that?
[19:50] <mar2> oh
[19:50] <Marfi> =)
[19:50] <carandraug> danielm_mc: but like Marfi said, xchat is probably a better IRC client
[19:50] <KomiaPoika> how do i display which graphics card i have
[19:51] <Sergnome> please help me find kylix for ubuntu 8.04 amd64
[19:51] <Sergnome> if exists of course
[19:51] <danielm_mc> guifications seems like a little overkill ;-)
[19:51] <danielm_mc> oh nice, yeah i might check out xchat
[19:51] <danielm_mc> is that like the new bitchx ?
[19:52] <bruno> I was set the the power management to get hibernate when battery get critical low, but it not work, because the system functions until battery done charge, how can i solve that?
[19:52] <Pici> danielm_mc: xchat has a GUI.  irssi is another cli irc client thats still supported.
[19:52] <carandraug> danielm_mc: new bitchx?
[19:53] <un> what is a good autotools channel?
[19:53] <amrita> i have only 640x480 resolution available... in "screen and graphics".... what to do ?
