[10:26] <dystopianray> jonphilpott: wireless pcmcia card?
[10:26] <jonphilpott> dystopianray: yeah
[10:27] <Masterkong> nvidia CK804
[10:27] <jonphilpott> dystopianray: both of them work in my laptop
[10:27] <Coolranch> i keep getting the error "unable to locate rsdp" then it goes to the ubuntu splash screen and just locks up, with the caps lock key and the scroll lock key flashing
[10:27] <fuffal0> is there a way to make it so ubuntu doens't promp me for my wireless keyring password everytime it boots up?
[10:27] <dystopianray> fuffal0: pam_keyring i believe
[10:27] <Coolranch> can anyone help me with this?
[10:27] <dystopianray> martyyyr: I believe it should just work if samba is set with the same workgroup
[10:27] <martyyyr> dystopianray: Yeah, but it doesn't :)
[10:28] <dystopianray> martyyyr: do you have shares configured in samba?
[10:28] <pete83> fuffal0: yeah, if your keyring password is the same as your login password
[10:28] <Coolranch> anyone plz :S
[10:28] <martyyyr> dystopianray: Yeah, I do.
[10:28] <Lattyware> Hey all, whenever I try and run anything under wine, I get this: http://pastebin.com/d3cd5de39 - I compiled wine from source.
[10:28] <Crisss> Jest kto z Polski tu??
[10:28] <dystopianray> martyyyr: what if you manually browse to the ip address of the machine, does it work then?
[10:28] <xtknight> !pl | Crisss
[10:28] <ubotu> Crisss: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[10:29] <dystopianray> Lattyware: why not install it from a repo?
[10:29] <Coolranch> anyone :(
[10:29] <duzchip> Hi everyone
[10:29] <duzchip> i need some help
[10:29] <martyyyr> dystopianray: Well, no, but I can connect to a share in ubuntu using the smbclient.
[10:29] <duzchip> I bought a new Dell Inspiron 1501 and installed ubuntu 7.04 on it
[10:29] <duzchip> works great
[10:29] <panagiotis> hi
[10:29] <duzchip> but i dont wanna use Gnome so i installed fluxbox and modified it as i wanted it
[10:29] <duzchip> now comes the only problem
[10:29] <Lattyware> dystopianray: I need the newer version to get some stuff to work.
[10:29] <dystopianray> Masterkong: the latest nvidia driver 100.14.11 has a changelog entry about a vesa console fix
[10:29] <Prendy> Ok
[10:29] <Prendy> Eeerm
[10:29] <duzchip> my Fn -button wont work
[10:29] <dystopianray> Lattyware: use the official wine repo
[10:29] <genefitz> Masterkong, I am searching for a solution right now.. give me a moment, and I can see what I can find..
[10:29] <dystopianray> Lattyware: it is always up to date
[10:30] <duzchip> Fn + PageUp == volume up
[10:30] <Prendy> How much space does ubuntu take up
[10:30] <Prendy> Would I be able to install it on Drive C:?
[10:30] <duzchip> but it wont work
[10:30] <Lattyware> dystopianray: I'm talking GIT source here.
[10:30] <duzchip> anyone got some suggestions?
[10:30] <dystopianray> Prendy: you'd probably want about 2GB minimum
[10:30] <dystopianray> Prendy: you can install it on any drive with space for another partition
[10:30] <Coolranch> i keep getting the error "unable to locate rsdp" then it goes to the ubuntu splash screen and just locks up, with the caps lock key and the scroll lock key flashing
[10:31] <pete83> fuffal0: follow the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2776815
[10:31] <Prendy> Anyone?
[10:31] <jonphilpott> dystopianray: i get "pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0", and nothing else
[10:31] <martyyyr> Do I have to make an exception rule for samba in my firewall?
[10:31] <dyrne> Prendy: ubuntu will need to resize your existing window partition if you dont have any free unparitioned space. as to how much room..id say 4-5 gigs to be safe at least. 2-3 is minimum i guess
[10:31] <dystopianray> Lattyware: I'd suggest trying an official deb to see if it works
[10:31] <dystopianray> jonphilpott: does the card appear in lspci?
[10:31] <duzchip> Does anyone know if you can bind the Fn-key on a laptop in ubuntu?
[10:31] <genefitz> Masterkong, are you using Conexiant?
[10:31] <jonphilpott> dystopianray: nope
[10:32] <harrison> Okay, I have been trying for the last two days to install X/Ubuntu from an alt cd on one of my computers.
[10:32] <dystopianray> jonphilpott: hrrm that is strange
[10:32] <harrison> I keep getting black bars during the install however.
[10:32] <harrison> I have used 3 different video cards.
[10:32] <dystopianray> duzchip: as long as it generates a scancode, yes
[10:32] <jonphilpott> dystopianray: my thoughts exactly
[10:33] <duzchip> dystopianray: how do i check that please?
[10:33] <dystopianray> jonphilpott: perhaps try a different livecd if you have one, to see if the behaviour is different
[10:33] <harrison> Okay, I have been trying for the last two days to install X/Ubuntu from an alt cd on one of my computers.
[10:33] <harrison> I keep getting black bars during the install however.
[10:33] <harrison> I have used 3 different video cards.
[10:33] <jonphilpott> this is 7.04
[10:33] <whonicca> is there a file on ubuntu which blocks certain ip/host from having any kind of access to your computer?
[10:33] <Prendy> Oh ok then
[10:33] <whonicca> i cant login to my computer anymore via ssh from work =*(
[10:33] <GyrosGeier> hi
[10:33] <Prendy> I have 6GB
[10:33] <Prendy> :D
[10:34] <GyrosGeier> I'm trying to build a 4.2 cross compiler for armel under Dapper
[10:34] <Masterkong> conexiant genefitz ?
[10:34] <genefitz> Masterkong, have you tried to use your windows drivers under wrapper or wine?
[10:34] <dystopianray> duzchip: sudo showkeys
[10:34] <martyyyr> Anyone? What could possibly stop samba from making the shares list available to the network neighbourhood?
[10:34] <Prendy> Is alchohol a safe program to burn the iso onto the cd?
[10:34] <ShackJack> Hi all - is there a command line to put the computer is suspend mode (like if I want suspend from C/L). Looked around but can seem to find it...
[10:34] <genefitz> Masterkong, Conexiant audio chipset..
[10:34] <_david> not if you intend to drive after Prendy ;)
[10:34] <dystopianray> genefitz: the device doesn't appear in lspci, so that must be solved before any driver will work
[10:35] <genefitz> Oh, I see.. I didn't understand...
[10:35] <Masterkong> dunno.. i have a abit a8n32sli or something motherboard
[10:35] <dystopianray> ShackJack: /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh
[10:35] <Masterkong> i think its nvidia chipset
[10:35] <dinochopins> Hi. Can I use single sign on from gnome login manager agains Win2003 Active Directory ?
[10:35] <Prendy> Ububtu is gonna take forever to download with my internet connection
[10:35] <ShackJack> dystopianray: Ahh. thank - not so much command as script ;)
[10:36] <Prendy> :P
[10:36] <] [acking> where is the problem? i have nvidia drivers and they worked perfectly until i updated ubuntu now after restart x server doesn`t start unless i reinstall driver, but after restart it crashes again
[10:36] <] [acking> my video gard is nvidia 7300gt
[10:36] <] [acking> card*
[10:36] <dystopianray> ] [acking: what was updated to make it stop working?
[10:36] <ShackJack> dystopianray: Do I want "hibernate.sh" or "sleep.sh" for suspend to RAM -- seems like the latter?
[10:36] <Coolranch> can any one help me plz
[10:37] <dystopianray> ShackJack: oh yes, most likely
[10:37] <] [acking> dystopianray i don`t know
[10:37] <] [acking> i think
[10:37] <] [acking> kernel
[10:37] <dystopianray> ShackJack: open them up to see what they do
[10:37] <unagi> hello everyone
[10:37] <ShackJack> dystopianray: :)
[10:37] <dystopianray> ] [acking: are you using the nvidia driver from the official repos?
[10:37] <m3lodius> hello
[10:37] <harrison> Okay, what does it mean when during an install, it says "Segmentation Fault"?
[10:37] <Goran_> does ubuntu support wg111v2?
[10:37] <] [acking> yes now i installed from original repos same problem
[10:38] <genefitz> Masterkong, you can try  help.ubuntu.com/community/sound
[10:38] <dystopianray> Goran_: what wireless chip does it use?
[10:38] <Goran_> rtl8187
[10:38] <genefitz> That may be able to give some assistance
[10:38] <harrison> Okay, what does it mean when during an install, it says "Segmentation Fault"?
[10:38] <dystopianray> Goran_: it has a driver for that chip, so it should work
[10:38] <] [acking> dystopianray: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module;
[10:38] <harrison> It happens right after it loads "nbootloader" or something like that.
[10:38] <dystopianray> ] [acking: did you install nvidia-glx ?
[10:38] <] [acking> xserver log
[10:38] <Coolranch> anyone plz it keeps locking up on me
[10:38] <] [acking> dystopianray: yes
[10:39] <genefitz> Cool, what keeps locking?
[10:39] <Coolranch> when i try to install
[10:39] <] [acking> dystopianray: it was original nvidia drivers from web site before
[10:39] <Coolranch> i get the ubuntu splash screen with the orange bar and it just freezes
[10:39] <harrison> Okay, what does it mean when during an install, it says "Segmentation Fault"?
[10:39] <harrison> It happens right after it loads "nbootloader" or something like that.
[10:39] <dystopianray> ] [acking: you'll need matching drivers and -glx package
[10:39] <dystopianray> ] [acking: make sure you are using the ubuntu nvidia drivers
[10:39] <Prendy> What programs would you guys reccomend when I get ubuntu?
[10:39] <genefitz> Coolranch, have you tried a fresh load?
[10:39] <Coolranch> and i have a flashing caps lock and flashing scroll lock buttons
[10:40] <dystopianray> harrison: a segmentation fault is basically the program crashing
[10:40] <duzchip> how do i bind key-values as 0xf3 and 0x73?
[10:40] <Coolranch> thats what im trying todo,
[10:40] <dystopianray> Prendy: what do you want to do?
[10:40] <harrison> dystopianray, why does it keep happening?
[10:40] <] [acking> dystopianray: do you think it will fix that and how can i do that
[10:40] <genefitz> Coolranch, Okay, you aren't even getting to live CD yet?
[10:40] <Coolranch> no
[10:40] <dystopianray> harrison: could be any number of reasons, software error, hardware fault, etc..
[10:40] <harrison> I have tried 3 different video cards, and 3 different CDs.
[10:40] <Lattyware> Hey all, whenever I try and run anything under wine, I get this: http://pastebin.com/d3cd5de39 - I compiled wine from source (Tested with version from Repo, and still get the error). Why is this?
[10:40] <dystopianray> ] [acking: I think you just need to reinstall the restricted modules package
[10:41] <dystopianray> harrison: what makes you think the video card is what is causing it?
[10:41] <Masterkong> dystopianray, is there any reason why i shouldnt install the 100.14.11 driver from nvidias website?
[10:41] <Coolranch> its not rly getting anywhere
[10:41] <] [acking> dystopianray: yes it can be true how?
[10:41] <genefitz> Coolranch, okay, cool, lets start with the basics first. do you think you may have gotten a bad burn to CD?
[10:41] <dystopianray> Masterkong: it's not guaranteed to work with ubuntu
[10:41] <Masterkong> ok
[10:41] <Anlar> Lattyware: define "run anything" ?
[10:41] <genefitz> I know it sounds foolish, but when live won't boot, 9 out of 10, it is a corrupt burn..
[10:41] <Coolranch> possible, i got the cd stright from ubuntu
[10:41] <harrison> dystopianray, before I started getting the Segmentation fault, I would get vertical black bars on the screen at the same point.
[10:41] <] [acking> dystopianray: yes it can be true, how can i do taht?
[10:42] <] [acking> that
[10:42] <Coolranch> i didnt dl the os
[10:42] <dystopianray> ] [acking: sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-restricted-modules-generic (that should work)
[10:42] <Prendy> I hope ubuntu will work for me O_O
[10:42] <dystopianray> harrison: have you tried doing a memtest?
[10:42] <Coolranch> and when i try to run check cd for defects it locks up
[10:42] <whonicca> is there a file on ubuntu which blocks certain ip/host from having any kind of access to your computer? i cant login to my computer anymore via ssh from work
[10:42] <harrison> dystopianray, no, I haven't?
[10:42] <dystopianray> Prendy: you asked for program recommendations, what exactly do you want to do with your computer?
[10:42] <dystopianray> harrison: well you should
[10:42] <dystopianray> harrison: it should be one of the options when booting the livecd
[10:42] <genefitz> Coolranch, well for safety measures, I would go to Ubuntu.com and try to re-download the wanted version, burn it to disc, and see what happens..
[10:42] <Lattyware> Anlar: The three things (uTorrent, and two installers) I have tried to run with 'wine /path/to/file.exe'
[10:43] <Coolranch> i can do that
[10:43] <genefitz> Even as it may seem unlikely that it would be a bad burn from Ubuntu, hey, it happens..
[10:43] <Anlar> whonicca: no, although ssh daemon might block some account for havign many unsuccesful logon attempts for a few minutes
[10:43] <joshjosh> Why use utorrent when you can use deluge?
[10:43] <dystopianray> whonicca: what changed since it last worked?
[10:43] <harrison> dystopianray, I'm using the Alternate, if it makes a difference.
[10:43] <kayzu> okay, I just did a clean install of windows xp and feisty on the same hdd for the second time and norton partitionmagic complains about errors in the lba and chs values every time ! why?
[10:43] <Coolranch> is there anything i can try while it dls
[10:43] <dystopianray> harrison: i'm not sure if it does, i imagine it'd still have memtest
[10:43] <Prendy> Well
[10:43] <harrison> dystopianray, Okay, I'll check right now.
[10:43] <barbagrossa> hi
[10:43] <Coolranch> what if there is an OS on the comp and the hd isnt formated
[10:43] <unagi> how do i see the output of the terminal thats running in the background?
[10:43] <Prendy> I dunno
[10:43] <Prendy> Does Photoshop work on ubuntu?
[10:43] <kayzu> when i let it fix the errors it still labels the whole drive as bad
[10:43] <joshjosh> Alright, how do I get my ipod to be recognized while plugged in to my usb?
[10:43] <whonicca> dystopianray, id hate to say i dont really know, i know others on the outside can try to connect and get prompted by ssh
[10:43] <Prendy> And qhat good music players are there?
[10:43] <barbagrossa> someone can give some support for me?
[10:43] <joshjosh> prendy: you can use it in wine
[10:43] <Anlar> Lattyware: utorrent will not work. you should check the appdb from winehq.com, many applications have problems still.. and there might be work-arounds described there
[10:44] <barbagrossa> I have one question
[10:44] <dystopianray> whonicca: it is probably a firewall at your place of work
[10:44] <whonicca> dont know if my job killed my access to my home comp, but i still can ssh to other servers
[10:44] <genefitz> Coolranch, if you can't even get Live CD to run, there isn't a whole lot you will be able to do..
[10:44] <harrison> dystopianray, I'm running it right now.
[10:44] <joshjosh> Prendy: Amarok is amazing.
[10:44] <dystopianray> whonicca: do you have to connect to the internet via a proxy?
[10:44] <barbagrossa> how on hell do I change the resolution of the GDM greeter?
[10:44] <Lattyware> Anlar: uTorrent has had Platinum ratings for ages. It runs perfectly.
[10:44] <Coolranch> the computer is a mmx 333 so its pretty old but i got suse 8.1 on there just fine
[10:44] <Masterkong> Prendy, but if youre moving to linux.. you should check out gimp
[10:44] <Prendy> Oh ok
[10:44] <whonicca> well at work i dont think i do, computers are just running and are online =\
[10:44] <duzchip> so there is no one who knows how to make use of the Fn-key on a laptop if i'm using another window manager than gnome?
[10:44] <genefitz> Bright side, CoolRanch, if you are on high speed, it only takes about 15 minutes to an hour to download (respectively)
[10:44] <Prendy> So I can use itunes in wine as well?
[10:44] <dystopianray> Prendy: I think photoshop can sort of barely work in wine, but in general it does not work
[10:45] <Prendy> :O
[10:45] <dystopianray> Prendy: no itunes does not work in wine
[10:45] <Coolranch> can do
[10:45] <joshjosh> Prendy: You won't want to use iTunes after you use Amarok
[10:45] <Coolranch> ill start dling it
[10:45] <RedLink> How do you save the changes in vi (visudo)?
[10:45] <barbagrossa> rythymbox is great also
[10:45] <Masterkong> Prendy, amarok is THE KDE player,., i'm looking for a wothy gtk replacement but i havent found one yet
[10:45] <mc44> dystopianray: version 4 or something does ;)
[10:45] <shavex> compiz fusion question.  I just updated today and now when i try to change my animations it doesnt let me
[10:45] <dystopianray> Prendy: i'd agree that amarok is better than itunes, but if you have content you have downloaded from the itunes music store, then you are out of luck
[10:45] <Anlar> Lattyware: oh. you got then like compiz/fusion running?
[10:45] <genefitz> Okay Coolranch, if you still have problems, come back and ask..
[10:45] <Lattyware> Anlar: Or rather, should do.
[10:45] <harrison> dystopianray, do you know if there are any problems with Linux and the VIA KT133 chipset?
[10:45] <dystopianray> harrison: no idea, look on google
[10:45] <Prendy> Oh
[10:45] <jrib> RedLink: :w   but 'man visudo' will tell you how to use an editor like nano instead of vi with it
[10:46] <genefitz> Another thing you may try is a cold boot. turn off the computer and give it another try from a cold start..
[10:46] <Lattyware> Anlar: No. Xinerama, with official drivers, but nothing else.
[10:46] <Prendy> Can I use my programs from windows and not have to install them again
[10:46] <Coolranch> ill try that quick
[10:46] <Prendy> Oh, I don't get them from the store :P
[10:46] <dystopianray> Prendy: you may be able to
[10:46] <Anlar> Lattyware: can you try with the other drivers for once.. because where the crash happens is looks suspicious.. and if it works, report it to winehq's boogzilla
[10:46] <kayzu> could someone please tell me why the ubuntu install ALWAYS messes up the CHS/LBA values on my disk?
[10:47] <genefitz> Another thing you may try is a cold boot. turn off the computer and give it another try from a cold start..
[10:47] <genefitz> oops, repeated...lol
[10:47] <Prendy> Oh ok
[10:47] <genefitz> Sorry, I hit the wrong buttons..
[10:47] <dystopianray> kayzu: those values are arbitrary, they don't mean anything to a modern OS
[10:47] <Prendy> Good :D
[10:47] <dystopianray> Prendy: appdb.winehq.org
[10:47] <joshjosh> When I connect things to my USB ports they don't register..I have to connect them then restart to get it to work. Anyone have any ideas?
[10:47] <dystopianray> Prendy: you can use that site to check how well certain programs work in wine
[10:47] <Coolranch> do i want it to boot from cd?
[10:47] <Anlar> Lattyware: it really seems to me that it crashes due some problem with popping up the first windows...
[10:48] <Prendy> Phew, this download is gonna take a few days of me being on the comp...
[10:48] <joshjosh> Prendy: What download?
[10:48] <Coolranch> or is that where im running into problems
[10:48] <kayzu> dystopianray: but partitionmagic keeps complaining about them and labels my drive as 'bad' thus i can't use it anymore
[10:48] <Lattyware> Anlar: Great. I have had problems with being unable to use GLX stuff with my tripple Xinerama arrangement.
[10:48] <genefitz> Josh, depending on the USB device, it may not always auto-detect.
[10:48] <dystopianray> kayzu: sounds like a problem with partition magic
[10:48] <Lattyware> Anlar: So even more fun here then :/
[10:48] <joshjosh> genefitz: It doesn't work for anything. ipod, keyboard, mouse...anything.
[10:48] <genefitz> Coolranch, yes, boot from CD
[10:48] <dystopianray> kayzu: try another partitioning program
[10:48] <jrattner1> Question: Why would postfix not deliver mail for just one user, and keep it in queue
[10:48] <jrattner1> ?
[10:48] <joshjosh> i'm on an HP dv6110us using feisty
[10:48] <Nembie563> I am trying to run airsnort, but it is not picking anything up. I am not sure how to configure the program. How do I know what to set the network device and driver type to?
[10:49] <dystopianray> kayzu: like gparted which should be on the ubuntu livecd
[10:49] <genefitz> Then when the Ubuntu screen comes up, use the default option..
[10:49] <Anlar> Lattyware: triple xinerama? that's not really possible afaik.. in the past the graphics adapters supported 3d stuff only on ONE head, and only the new ones can handle TWO...
[10:49] <Coolranch> but im still getting the error unable to locate rsdb
[10:49] <dystopianray> Nembie563: what sort of card do you have and what driver does it use?
[10:49] <Anlar> Lattyware: it's more hardware design decision
[10:49] <kayzu> dystopianray: acronis gives me the same errors. and even ubuntu when i boot to it
[10:49] <martyyyr> How do I change the DNS name of my system?
[10:50] <Anlar> Lattyware: unless if you have multiple adapter cards?
[10:50] <kayzu> not sure if that was afer partitionmagic 'fixed' the errors though..
[10:50] <genefitz> Coolranch, yup, I am thinking you have a bad burn, but hold on, let me check the wiki..
[10:50] <Lattyware> Anlar: No, as in, I can't get GLX to run on any of my screens when using all of my monitors. Not over all of them.
[10:50] <Coolranch> ok thx
[10:50] <Nembie563> dystopianray: I don't know. How do I figure that out? Why does the program need this info?
[10:50] <unagi> how do you make a textfile executable
[10:50] <heydabop> I having trouble getting my laptop running Ubuntu 6.06 to connect to my wireless network.
[10:50] <Anlar> Lattyware: X tries to enable it for all with the same money and fails utterly? bah. that sucks
[10:50] <dystopianray> Nembie563: use lspci to see what chip the card uses
[10:50] <dystopianray> unagi: chmod +x file
[10:51] <unagi> ty
[10:51] <Anlar> Lattyware: but if you could really start X with just one head enabled and try wine.. it's quite possible that there's some propblem there :/
[10:51] <Lattyware> Anlar: Something like that. Anyway, I'll switch my xorg.conf over to my gaming one (just removes two of the monitors) and give it a shot.
[10:51] <unagi> xim confused
[10:51] <unagi> it still doesnt execute
[10:51] <dystopianray> unagi: what is the error?
[10:51] <Nembie563> dystopianray: what is ispci?
[10:51] <_david> Nembie563, lspci
[10:51] <unagi> no error it just displays the text file
[10:52] <martyyyr> Do I need to install a DNS server on my ubuntu server box to make its name known to other computers in the network?
[10:52] <Anlar> Lattyware: I'm happy I have xbox360 for games :) no tweaking the linux endlessly and desparately to get at least something running :)
[10:52] <dystopianray> Nembie563: open a terminal and run: $ lspci | grep -i network
[10:52] <XLV> unagi, or you can run it with the shell you are using eg bash "sh text.txt"
[10:52] <unagi> brb
[10:52] <Anlar> martyyyr: no, but you should have dns server that you can add entries to somewhere. or one that supports dynamic dns
[10:52] <panfist> is there a way i can type multiple commands in the terminal so that they will execute one after another?
[10:52] <kayzu> dystopianray: acronis gives me the same errors. and even ubuntu when i boot to it
[10:52] <heydabop> Could someone help me?
[10:52] <nich0s> OK, I leave my ubuntu box and running day and night, but it will start to slow down as if something it building up or I have a memory leak. How would I go about testing why my box is slowing down?
[10:52] <dystopianray> martyyyr: you need a dns server somewhere on your lan, or put entries manually into /etc/hosts
[10:52] <heydabop> I having trouble getting my laptop running Ubuntu 6.06 to connect to my wireless network.
[10:52] <Prendy> :P
[10:52] <dystopianray> heydabop: what is the wifi chip?
[10:52] <dystopianray> kayzu: what errors?
[10:53] <Prendy> Can you play PS2 games on linux :P
[10:53] <kayzu> wron CHS/LBA values etc
[10:53] <_david> Prendy, if you have a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, yeah ;)
[10:53] <dystopianray> Prendy: you may be able to get some sort of emulator running, there is nothing in the repos for ps2 emulation though
[10:53] <Anlar> nich0s: first step is to get rid of firefox :)
[10:53] <Prendy> Eeerm, what will the choice be like at boot? Will it be, Run Window XP or Run Ubuntu?
[10:53] <martyyyr> Anlar, dystopianray: thanks
[10:54] <heydabop> dystopianray, I'm not sure.
[10:54] <nich0s> Anlar: And replace with...?
[10:54] <dystopianray> panfist: put ';' between them
[10:54] <Nembie563> dystopianray: I enter that into the terminal and it says command not found
[10:54] <panfist> dystopianray y
[10:54] <panfist> ty
[10:54] <kayzu> dystopianray: not matching CHS/LBA values etc
[10:54] <heydabop> But I configure and enable eth1, and the it deactivates it as soon as IO press ok.
[10:54] <doom_ster> hey. 1 question. i am trying to cable connect my sonyericsson mobile to mu ubuntu system to get some files from the memory stick it has. it should be automounted but isent . any ideas?
[10:54] <Prendy> Oh
[10:54] <unagi> ok this is getting really annoying.........this worked before i reformatted.......can anyone tell me why i can execute this text file in the terminal but i cant set sessions to do it at startup?
[10:54] <dystopianray> Nembie563: do not type the '$'
[10:54] <genefitz> Coolranch, that looks like an uncommon error. Again, try a download and re-burn..
[10:54] <hwilde> is there a way to do fractional crontab entries?  like to run every 30s
[10:54] <dystopianray> heydabop: run: $ lspci | grep -i network
[10:54] <genefitz> I am having a feeling that it is a CD read error
[10:54] <Nembie563> dystopianray: I didn't type the $
[10:54] <Coolranch> ok it wasnt listed i wonder if maybe its the computere?
[10:54] <dystopianray> hwilde: */30
[10:54] <heydabop> Ok.
[10:54] <heydabop> Just a sec.
[10:55] <dystopianray> hwilde: I think that is how it is done
[10:55] <hwilde> dystopianray, um isn't that every 30 minutes
[10:55] <unagi> i was getting i/o errors when i was trying to install ubuntu.........i had to redownload
[10:55] <unagi> ok this is getting really annoying.........this worked before i reformatted.......can anyone tell me why i can execute this text file in the terminal but i cant set sessions to do it at startup?
[10:55] <dyrne> doom_ster: plug it in then type 'dmesg | tail' you should see an sda or sdb or whatever then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/  <--might work
[10:55] <genefitz> Coolranch, it seems uncommon to me. What kind of computer are you loading it on?
[10:55] <heydabop> dystopianray, I ran it.
[10:55] <panagiotis> someone to asking something plz
[10:56] <dystopianray> heydabop: and the result?
[10:56] <hwilde> dystopianray, um yeah that seems to be every 30 minutes (I put it in crontab and it hasn't ran yet).
[10:56] <Coolranch> it an old pionex lol mmx 333
[10:56] <hwilde> dystopianray, */1 is every minute
[10:56] <Lattyware> Anlar: Yeah, it works now.
[10:56] <dystopianray> hwilde: yeah i think it is, i'm not sure if you can do things by seconds with cron
[10:56] <heydabop> It says Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

[10:56] <alcraig> anyone know how to fix ubuntu when it freezes on screensavers?
[10:56] <hwilde> dystopianray, yeah neither am i that's why im here
[10:56] <jarle> I use "mount <IP_ADDRESS>:/biggen2/dreambox /hdd" to mount an nfs share. However the ownership of the /hdd dir is changed after the mount, how can I stop this from happening?
[10:57] <hwilde> alcraig, disable the random screensaver and set it to blank screen
[10:57] <Anlar> Lattyware: damn :( report it then.. :/
[10:57] <Lattyware> Anlar: Ugh. It's so annoying twinview won't work across cards. Twinview worked so well.
[10:57] <dystopianray> Nembie563: ok, that card should work fine
[10:57] <alcraig> ok
[10:57] <alcraig> i'll try that thanks
[10:57] <Lattyware> Anlar: Where would I report it to?
[10:57] <unagi> ok i dont know what i did to fix it but it works now
[10:57] <dystopianray> Nembie563: the interface is probably eth1

[10:57] <genefitz> Coolranch, on an older computer, you may have issues with a newer version, You may want to look at  lighter model.
[10:57] <Nembie563>  dystopianray: so what do I set network device and driver type to?
[10:57] <panagiotis> eiste malakes oloi sas
[10:57] <dystopianray> heydabop: did you get firmware for it? or are you using ndiswrapper?
[10:58] <heydabop> ?
[10:58] <hwilde> dystopianray, ifconfig -a  will show all devices
[10:58] <dystopianray> Nembie563: what are the available options?
[10:58] <adrian> can somebody help me to set up a Hauppage HVR-1110 hybrid tv card?
[10:58] <heydabop> What?
[10:58] <doom_ster> dyme, it requires from me to specify a filesystem, though i dunno what filesystem the memcard has
[10:58] <Lattyware> Anlar: OK, thanks. Over to kTorrent I guess. Azureus is way too bloated, uTorrent won't work across my monitors...  Will it be, Run Window XP or Run Ubuntu?
[10:58] <panagiotis> gamieste geloioi karagiozides
[10:58] <doom_ster> i used vfat and nothing :(
[10:58] <Agiofws> hi
[10:58] <adrian> please, please
[10:58] <Agiofws> hey what the packet to install gcc in ubuntu ?
[10:58] <bruenig> Lattyware, deluge...
[10:58] <heydabop> dystopianray, I'm just using the Networking Administrative tool.
[10:58] <jarle> adrian: maybe have a look in #linuxtv ?
[10:58] <Horizon> Will ubuntu load by default settings in VMWare Workstation 6?
[10:58] <_david> sudo apt-get install gcc ?
[10:58] <Agiofws> hey whats the packet to install gcc in ubuntu ?
[10:58] <dystopianray> heydabop: i'll take that as a 'no', for broadcom cards, you need to install firmware, or you nee to setup ndiswrapper, they do not work out of the box
[10:58] <Coolranch> ok what does the desktop edition have that the server edition doesnt? or vise virsa
[10:58] <bruenig> Agiofws, apt-get install gcc
[10:58] <Agiofws> _david,  nah its somethin else
[10:58] <heydabop> O.
[10:58] <dyrne> adrian: best bet is a google search like 'site:ubuntuforums.org hauppage hvr-1110'
[10:58] <Horizon> I tried it in microsoft virtual machine 2007 and the graphics got all jacked
[10:58] <Lattyware> bruenig: Last time I tried deluge it was really incomplete, and lacked features and gave me far slower speeds.
[10:58] <Agiofws> bruenig,  are you sure ?
[10:59] <dystopianray> Agiofws: you'll likely want to install 'build-essential'
[10:59] <Anlar> Lattyware: dht is great... azureus is not bad, if you get the newest jre and tweak it a bit.. it used to be worse, especially the completely crappy gcj version
[10:59] <heydabop> How do I do that dystopianray?
[10:59] <bruenig> Lattyware, lacked what?
[10:59] <bruenig> !info gcc
[10:59] <ubotu> gcc: The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.2-1ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 5 kB, installed size 64 kB
[10:59] <dystopianray> !broadcom | heydabop
[10:59] <ubotu> heydabop: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:59] <bruenig> Agiofws, yes
[10:59] <hwilde> !ndiswrapper | heydabop
[10:59] <Prendy> Eeerm, what will the choice be like at boot? Will it be, Run Window XP or Run Ubuntu?
[10:59] <mcscruff> i was kung foo fighting
[10:59] <bruenig> Lattyware, you realize also that clients have nothing really to do with speeds right?
[10:59] <dyrne> doom_ster: it shouldnt ask if it is that is prob an issue but a mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt   or -t vfat
[10:59] <heydabop> Thanks dystopianray
[10:59] <genefitz> Coolranch, how much memory does your computer have?
[11:00] <BrightEyes> i want to make ls print all the files whose names have either 3 or 4 or 5 characters. in grep you can use grep '[.{3,5}' . is there something similar in ls?
[11:00] <Lattyware> Anlar: Yeah, but with Xinerama sucking up 70% CPU (from my overclocked to 3GHz C2D E6600 :() already, It's about as viable as running uTorrent.
[11:00] <Nembie563> Dystopianray: Network device: eth0 or eth1.  Better support for encryption, and DHT have massive effects, finding more peers and bypassing blocking.
[11:00] <dystopianray> Nembie563: eth1, other
[11:00] <martyyyr> Anyone have an idea about why my I have to restart my firewall sometimes to get my internet connection back?
[11:00] <BrightEyes> hwilde without using grep???
[11:01] <dystopianray> martyyyr: iptables?
[11:01] <Coolranch> looks like 128mb
[11:01] <dystopianray> BrightEyes: man ls
[11:01] <Nembie563> systopieanray: Alright, I selected those options, hit start and nothing happens
[11:01] <martyyyr> dystopianray: Well, shorewall, but shorewall uses iptables, yes.
[11:01] <factorx> How can I create a random file of 1 GiB in size?
[11:01] <Lattyware> Anlar: I was under the impression it always sucked CPU cycles?
[11:01] <dystopianray> martyyyr: no idea, sorry
[11:01] <Lattyware> Anlar: Is there something wrong there?
[11:01] <BrightEyes> dystopianray i tried that and i didnt find anything
[11:01] <hwilde> BrightEyes, you need to learn about piping output of one command to another.  type in     ls | grep <pattern>
[11:01] <genefitz> Coolranch, in that case you need to go to Ubuntu.com, and download the "Alternate install" disk.
[11:01] <dyrne> factorx: dd
[11:01] <Anlar> factorx: dd if=/dev/urandom of=myfile.txt bs=1 count=1000000 for instance :)
[11:01] <martyyyr> dystopianray: Well, what if I had only iptables?
[11:01] <Coolranch> ok
[11:02] <Coolranch> where do i find that on the web site
[11:02] <genefitz> You will have to use the alternate install because graphical install requires 192 MB ram..
[11:02] <factorx> dyrne, Anlar, thank you
[11:02] <hwilde> !alternate | Coolranch
[11:02] <ubotu> Coolranch: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[11:02] <genefitz> That may be your issue
[11:02] <dystopianray> factorx: dd if=/dev/urandom of=random bs=1M count=1024
[11:02] <bruenig> Lattyware, dht has an effect but that is it, clients other than that have nothing to do with speed. They have default settings but if you set the peer numbers and connection numbers and all of that the same on every client, you will get the same speeds, the myth about clients affecting speed comes from those who don't realize you are suppose to configure it to fit your settings
[11:02] <Anlar> Lattyware: it shouldn't really suck cpu cycles, although I have used only two instead of three.. and it really did not have any performance hit at all
[11:02] <bruenig> Lattyware, deluge has dht by the way
[11:03] <kayzu> For the CHS/LBA values, I just found this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/8322
[11:03] <dystopianray> martyyyr: i'm not sure why your internet connection would randomly stop working
[11:03] <Creeture> On factorx's question, any reason the GNU stuff doesn't contain a mkfile equivalent?
[11:03] <Tainted-Palms> anyone here that can help me install wine?
[11:03] <kayzu> I'll try that now
[11:03] <genefitz> Coolranch, bright side, after the install, it should run with little issue..
[11:03] <hwilde> martyyyr, uninstall network-manager it sucks.
[11:03] <_david> Does the alternate ubuntu have OEM mode like Kubuntu?
[11:03] <hwilde> !wine | Tainted-Palms
[11:03] <ubotu> Tainted-Palms: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:03] <jetole> I installed windows vista on dual boot system recently, the partition was made for vista on the first partition when ubuntu was first installed and everything worked fine, I now installed windows vista on the first partition which was empty, it boots fine, I booted into ubuntu a couple times to re installed grub while using the ubuntu live installer CD but nothing happens, I took an image of the original bootloader and tried dd'ing it back and I have ...
[11:03] <jetole> ... also tried running grub and the windows Vista boot loader still pops up every time yet the second partition (which contains /boot) is un touched and everything looks proper except every time I install grub it doesn't seem to run after a reboot, any ideas?
[11:03] <Coolranch> ok where do i find that on the web side im on the download portion of the site
[11:03] <hwilde> !fixgrub | jetole
[11:03] <Lattyware> bruenig: Encryption. My ISP blocks BT traffic, so I have to use encryption, that makes a big difference, does Deluge support that?
[11:04] <martyyyr> dystopianray: Well, if I reload the iptable tules, the connection is back.
[11:04] <bruenig> Lattyware, yes
[11:04] <ubotu> jetole: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:04] <martyyyr> hwilde: Then what should I use?
[11:04] <kayzu> another thing, how do i stop GRUB from overwriting the mbr while installing?
[11:04] <bruenig> Lattyware, you must have used it when it was really young
[11:04] <bruenig> Lattyware, it has blocklists, dht, encryption, all that jazz
[11:04] <hwilde> martyyyr, I just set it manually with /etc/network/interfaces   network-manager locks up.
[11:04] <Lattyware> bruenig: Yes, maybe.
[11:04] <kayzu> I didn't find any option for that during install
[11:04] <Lattyware> bruenig: I'll check it out again.
[11:04] <Lattyware> Anlar: Hmm... Well, my desktop is about 4200x1200 or something.
[11:04] <vonderer> hi there
[11:04] <martyyyr> hwilde: Excuse my ignorance, but what does this network-manager do exactly that I can configure in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[11:05] <genefitz> Coolranch, Right under "start download" there is a check box for "Alternate desktop CD"
[11:05] <vonderer> I want to compare to wavs, is there anyway to do it in ubuntu?
[11:05] <hwilde> martyyyr, I don't know but network-manager sucks IMHO so I uninstall it and then my comp doesn't lock up anymore.
[11:05] <Anlar> Lattyware: yeah but on normal desktop use.. there are hardly no changes and most of it are accelerated primitives and/or compositing anyways, which means load mostly for the gpus...
[11:05] <genefitz> Coolranch, see it?
[11:05] <dystopianray> vonderer: what sort of comparison?
[11:05] <Coolranch> yep found it
[11:05] <martyyyr> hwilde: I see..What did you put in your interfcacs file tho?
[11:05] <vonderer> dystopianray: spectrum
[11:05] <Anlar> Lattyware: without having 3d stuff going on, or a lot of video etc, you shouldn't get more than couple % of cpu used
[11:05] <dystopianray> vonderer: audacity can probably do it
[11:05] <Coolranch> ok dling it now
[11:05] <Coolranch> so i run that first then
[11:06] <hwilde> martyyyr, the necessary IP, netmask, gateway,  ssid, key
[11:06] <Coolranch> the live cd?
[11:06] <genefitz> Coolranch, fair warning, the text install may be a little confusing, keep a notepad with you while installing to write down anything that you may need to remember..
[11:06] <vonderer> dystopianray: I actually want to convert flac and mp3 files and compare the frequencies
[11:06] <dystopianray> vonderer: as I said, audacity can most likely do what you want
[11:06] <martyyyr> hwilde: Just that? I thought you had to do that when using network-manager as well...
[11:06] <genefitz> When I did the alternate install for 6.06, I got lost, forgot my password, and had to re-install...
[11:06] <vonderer> dystopianray: thanks a lot
[11:06] <genefitz> I can be absent minded at times...lol
[11:06] <Get_A_Fix> Good day all. I could use a bit of advice about installing a second video card under 6.06 LTS. Currently running an agp nvidia card and plan to add an pci nvidia and Intend to use xinerama. Need some help please with learning exactly what to do and in what order.
[11:06] <Coolranch> i had that problem with slackware
[11:07] <kayzu> this channel should really be split up into two smaller ones, sucks to be ignored :p
[11:07] <Will> Hey guys, n00b here, quick question, I need to add 2 new repository lines to apt-get. I tried doing them through adept manager - however I am getting errors when running apt-get. What is the command line to add them in a terminal?
[11:07] <POVaddct> genefitz: you don't have to reinstall just because you forgot your password
[11:07] <hwilde> martyyyr, umm I don't know....
[11:07] <genefitz> Coolranch, slackware can be a bother like that, older versions of Gentoo as well..
[11:07] <Prendy> Eeerm, what will the choice be like at boot? Will it be, Run Window XP or Run Ubuntu?
[11:08] <Coolranch> heeh yep
[11:08] <khadim>  b
[11:08] <martyyyr> hwilde: Well, I couldn't get my connection working without putting that stuff in my interfaces file, so I'm pretty sure it's needed. :)
[11:08] <Coolranch> suse is pretty easy tho
[11:08] <panfist> can anyone help me out, I think I broke wine. apt-get remove --purge and then install didn't help.
[11:08] <dystopianray> panfist: try aptitude purge wine
[11:08] <hwilde> martyyyr, right, you have to setup interfaces file, but then you don't need network manager locking up.
[11:08] <khadim> vos conseils pour les debutant
[11:08] <jamey-u1> I'm trying to configure an extra IP address on eth0 but I get this error: "SIOCDELRT: No such process". Can anyone help?
[11:08] <genefitz> I have been through just about very distro out there.. Every time a new one is released, I have to check it out.. I am kinda obsessive like that..
[11:08] <POVaddct> panfist: try removing or renaming your ~/.wine directory
[11:08] <metaxyy__fw> I've started an HTTP server (from the command line, not a service) on port 3000.  When I connect to it on localhost on the same box it works, but when I connect via the network it can't connect.  Does Ubuntu have a software firewall or some other behavior that would cause this?
[11:09] <martyyyr> hwilde: Do you know why it locks up?
[11:09] <panfist> povaddct, dystopianray ty
[11:09] <genefitz> CoolRanch, Opensuse is a nice distro.
[11:09] <Lattyware> Anlar: Hmm
[11:09] <dystopianray> metaxyy__fw: not by default, your server is probably listening only on <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:09] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: no, you likely did not bind it to external interface.. localhost or <IP_ADDRESS> can't be connected from outside
[11:09] <genefitz> It just takes a lot more resources than Ubuntu does..
[11:09] <dystopianray> metaxyy__fw: netstat -tulpn | grep 3000
[11:09] <Coolranch> yeah, ive noticed that hehe.
[11:09] <hwilde> martyyyr, I do not know, but it has bugs.
[11:10] <Prendy> Wow, connecting on ubuntu sounds like a pai. O_O
[11:10] <genefitz> Coolranch, I had the same Mandrake 9 on my old computer from the time I bought it, till the time I sold it.. I think the guy who bought it is still using it...
[11:10] <Prendy> *pain
[11:10] <Coolranch> mandrake is good stuff.
[11:10] <dystopianray> Prendy: depends on your hardware
[11:10] <Coolranch> well im off to throw this mmx333 off the roof
[11:10] <Coolranch> :D
[11:10] <jamey-u1> Can anyone help me configuring dual IP addresses?
[11:10] <kayzu> !how do i stop GRUB from overwriting the mbr while installing? there is no option for that when installing from the live cd
[11:11] <genefitz> Well, best of luck to you Coolranch..
[11:11] <dystopianray> Prendy: just keep in mind that people won't come here when everything works well
[11:11] <genefitz> If you have any more issues, feel free to come back and ask. :-)
[11:11] <Coolranch> thx for your help i will be back :D onc eim done downloading
[11:11] <_david> dystopianray, I do :P
[11:11] <Coolranch> sez its gonna take an hour so
[11:11] <Coolranch> we shell see if this dose it
[11:11] <genefitz> Have a little faith.. :-)
[11:12] <Coolranch> hehe
[11:12] <Get_A_Fix> Good day all. I could use a bit of advice about installing a second video card under 6.06 LTS. Currently running an agp nvidia card and plan to add an pci nvidia and Intend to use xinerama. Need some help please with learning exactly what order to do things in
[11:13] <kayzu> how do i install ubuntu without it writing GRUB the MBR?? i want to use ntldr and grldr not grub
[11:14] <mediasoldier> ah linux both a pleasure and a pain
[11:14] <Yggdrasil> mediasoldier amen
[11:14] <dystopianray> kayzu: make a backup of your mbr and restore it after the install
[11:14] <dystopianray> kayzu: dd if=/dev/blah of=mbr.bak bs=512 count=1
[11:14] <kayzu> do i need to install grub elsewhere then?
[11:14] <madman91> is there a way to scan my LAN and see ip's behind it with ubuntu???
[11:14] <dystopianray> madman91: use nmap
[11:15] <_david> madman91, why? :P
[11:15] <mediasoldier> ubuntu studio appears to be lacking cinelerra on my end :P looks like its deb hunting for me AGAIN
[11:15] <kayzu> or can i just point the ntldr to grldr and it will boot ubuntu?
[11:15] <madman91> _david: curiosity, and i want to become fully comfortable with lan
[11:15] <madman91> dystopianray: any particular flags you know off the top of your head?
[11:15] <genefitz> Get_A_Fix, I am looking at several WIKI's and I have seen it done with dual PCI cards, (usually resulting in an X crash)
[11:15] <dystopianray> madman91: what exactly do you want to do?
[11:15] <pros1>  I want to ssh from computer a to computer b and run an application on computer b's monitor... Any help?
[11:15] <kayzu> there really should be an option not to install grub to the mbr imo
[11:16] <madman91> dystopianray: see all the computers behind my router
[11:16] <genefitz> I know there is a configuration for PCIE (sli) but not much info..
[11:16] <adrian> how can i set up the analog function of a saa7134 tv card if I know its the card=104: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1110 DVB-T/Hybrid 0070:6701?
[11:16] <genefitz> As far as the different arch of the cards, I think it may cause some issues..
[11:16] <dystopianray> pros1: while on a: 'sh -X b' then execute whatever app you want to run
[11:16] <genefitz> Now to sound defeatist, but I don't know, friend..
[11:16] <dystopianray> pros1: although you may need to modify the sshd_config to allow tunneling X
[11:16] <kshahnjd> what is command to download a file from the shell?
[11:16] <panagiotis> fuck off
[11:17] <metaxyy__fw> OK, I found the option for my server to bind to a different IP (sorry, relatively new at server stuff).  It looks like I have to put in my exact internal IP.  Shouldn't I be able to put in something like eth0 instead of that so that I don't have to look up my IP to do this command?
[11:17] <dyrne> pros1: do 'w' to see list of users and displays an example would be 1) export DISPLAY=:0  2) gedit&
[11:17] <jrib> !language | panagiotis
[11:17] <ubotu> panagiotis: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:17] <panagiotis> sorry
[11:17] <IceLink> how do i set the dedault apps for files?
[11:17] <Paradoxx> How do I add a script to be run at start up?
[11:17] <panagiotis> quit
[11:17] <madman91> Paradoxx: add it to your session manager
[11:17] <jrib> !defaultapp > IceLink (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:17] <jrib> !startup > Paradoxx (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:17] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: often, * binds it to all available ones
[11:17] <Get_A_Fix> genefitz: thanks, me too, but willing to give it a shot, just don't know how to tell Ubuntu that there's a second card, or will it pick it up on boot maybe.
[11:17] <kshahnjd> rockets!
[11:18] <metaxyy__fw> Anlar: Lemme try.
[11:18] <rockets> kshahnjd, yeah?
[11:18] <Paradoxx> jrib: I only have access to the terminal
[11:18] <mediasoldier> ?
[11:18] <mediasoldier> connect #ubuntustudio
[11:18] <kshahnjd> rockets: you used a command the other day to download from the command line, and I don't remember what it was
[11:18] <mediasoldier> doh
[11:18] <dystopianray> madman91: assuming they all respond to pings and you're on a <IP_ADDRESS>/24 network then: nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[11:18] <rockets> anybody know why DIA isnt letting me insert any more objects? when i try to insert anything it just drags a dotted line box, which is the selectionbox
[11:18] <jrib> Paradoxx: you want it to start when you login or when your computer boots?
[11:18] <genefitz> IceLink, Sustem -> Prefrences -> Preferred Applications
[11:18] <madman91> dystopianray: i am on a <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:18] <rockets> kshahnjd, to download a file directly or to install software from a repository
[11:18] <Paradoxx> jrib: computer boots
[11:18] <madman91> dystopianray: but i will edit it accordingly
[11:18] <madman91> dystopianray: thanks!
[11:18] <kshahnjd> rockets: download directly
[11:18] <rockets> kshahnjd, to download a specific file use wget
[11:19] <jrib> Paradoxx: k, read 'man update-rc.d'
[11:19] <IceLink> genefitz: thanks, jrib doesnt help^^
[11:19] <kshahnjd> rockets: ah... wget now I remember
[11:19] <dystopianray> madman91: if they don't respond to pings, replace the -sP with -P0
[11:19] <rockets> kshahnjd, type apropos download in your terminal
[11:19] <madman91> dystopianray: what is the /24 for?
[11:19] <rockets> dyrne, subnet
[11:19] <madman91> dystopianray: it works :-)
[11:19] <dystopianray> madman91: <IP_ADDRESS> netmask
[11:19] <jrib> IceLink: it depends on what file you are talking about
[11:19] <rockets> kshahnjd, apropos searches for commands
[11:19] <IceLink> ey genefitz, this is wrong
[11:19] <dystopianray> madman91: even if they dont' respond to pings you should still have all the valid ips in your arp cache
[11:19] <IceLink> jrib: ogg.. well, i ioened it a lotta times with kid3, now it's opened everytime in kid3 but i want it to rhythmbix,,,
[11:20] <metaxyy__fw> Looks like mine (the rather stunted WEBrick) doesn't support *, at this point I'll be happy if it supports a comma-delimited list so at least I can connect both remotely and directly
[11:20] <madman91> dystopianray: they do respond, or so it appears
[11:20] <madman91> dystopianray: thanks a bunch!
[11:20] <kshahnjd> rockets: sweet, will use, there was another thing you did, to decompress the tarball and extract, zxsf
[11:20] <metaxyy__fw> Anyway, thanks a lot to everyone who helped!  I've apprehended this issue almost alarmingly rapidly <g>
[11:20] <jrib> IceLink: what isn't working when you right click -> properties -> open with
[11:20] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: oh, webrick?
[11:20] <genefitz> IceLink, oops, wrong info, stand by.. Sorry, I was just going off the top of my head...
[11:20] <nich0s> How can I check to see if I am getting access to a specific port on my computer
[11:20] <metaxyy__fw> Anlar: Aye.
[11:20] <jrib> Paradoxx: you might be interested in !upstart too which is set to replace sysv
[11:20] <Will> someone mind helping me in a PM with apt-get?
[11:20] <IceLink> jrib: well it's openened with that, but not by default
[11:20] <IceLink> genefitz: np
[11:20] <jrib> !upstart > Paradoxx (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:20] <darnell_> i have voip with earthlink... why cant i just dial a phone number from my computer and use my microphone instead of using the phone?
[11:20] <whazilla> wher is a fiesty usb boot image ?
[11:21] <darnell_> is there any programs that will allow that?
[11:21] <jrib> IceLink: notice you have to click "properties" first
[11:21] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: please, kill it with fire! gem install mongrel and apt-get lighttpd!
[11:21] <whazilla> are ther usb images ?
[11:21] <madman91> dystopianray: you wouldnt happen to know how to scan each of these ip's for open ports as well, would you?
[11:21] <whazilla> wher is a fiesty usb boot image ?
[11:21] <whazilla> are ther usb images ?
[11:21] <IceLink> damn, thanks jrib
[11:21] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: that combination is faster, has better diagnostics, and is really configurable
[11:21] <dystopianray> madman91: nmap <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[11:21] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: you have to just install the components, nothing else needed.. they will get used automatically
[11:21] <dystopianray> madman91: it will default to a simple connect scan, other types of scans need root privs and are in the man page
[11:22] <dystopianray> madman91: maybe add -v to it as well so the output is more verbose
[11:22] <rockets> kshahnjd, tar -zxvf
[11:22] <metaxyy__fw> Anlar: And will it bind to * without me telling it?  ;)
[11:22] <madman91> dystopianray: i guess I will have to study nmap and its man file.. thanks
[11:22] <madman91> :)
[11:22] <metaxyy__fw> That's my only condition <g>
[11:22] <rockets> kshahnjd, read man pages dude
[11:22] <rockets> you can google that kind of info as well
[11:22] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: I am not 100% sure but I have a faint memory trace that it actually should
[11:22] <rockets> save IRC for the hard questions
[11:22] <dystopianray> madman91: http://www.nmap-tutorial.com/
[11:22] <bobesponja> hey all
[11:22] <bobesponja> in what package can I find curl-config?
[11:23] <metaxyy__fw> Anlar: K.  gem install mongrel?
[11:23] <madman91> dystopianray: even better, thanks :-) You gotta love opensource
[11:23] <metaxyy__fw> Oh, nm, you explicitly said that
[11:23] <genefitz> Okay, Icelink, which programs are you trying to set as default?
[11:23] <IceLink> genefitz: i already got it
[11:23] <nich0s> How can I check to see if I am getting access to a specific port on my computer
[11:23] <genefitz> Okay, IceLink, sorry I couldn't be more help..
[11:23] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: yeah. it's also more configurable.. and you can start the mongrel once with control script to background and you don't have to re-start it like webrick after many things and when webricks caching pisses all over itself
[11:23] <rockets> nich0s, nmap yourself?
[11:23] <IceLink> genefitz: oh damn don't be depressed due to such crappy things
[11:24] <nich0s> rockets: Will that run a constant scan?
[11:24] <rockets> nich0s, no, you want Zenoss or Nessus
[11:24] <genefitz> IceLinke, you know it it goes, we do what we can :-)
[11:24] <dystopianray> nich0s: netstat -tulp
[11:24] <rockets> nich0s, I prefer Zenoss for no particular reason
[11:24] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: add also lighttpd, it's THE meanest and leanest web server out there and gets used automatically... it's on apt repos
[11:24] <_david> I don't like lighty
[11:25] <Anlar> lighty+mongrel+rails == mmmmmm
[11:26] <metaxyy__fw> Mongrel is a server too, why do I need lighttpd (for now)?
[11:26] <jussi_> hey peeps
[11:26] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: mongrel is a rails server. lighttpd is frontend web server, increasing the speed for a magnitude or two.
[11:27] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: usually mongrel instances are being kept on pool behind the main web server, preloaded and ready to work.. now you get one restarted constantly
[11:27] <IceLink> how do i remove a directory?
[11:27] <kshahnjd> I have a .tar.gz file that needs to be extracted/decompressed/whatever... command?
[11:27] <Anlar> I'm sorry, not making much sense. hangover.
[11:27] <metaxyy__fw> Anlar: Ah, so Mongrel can serve rails over a CGI-type pipes/sockets connection or direct to a socket. Lighttpd takes its stuff via the former option and does the server work, correct?
[11:28] <saxin> anyone knows what I need to try out Gutsty Tribe3 in vmware?  I take a loot at that. Thanks for url :)
[11:29] <fuffal0> ack
[11:29] <adv> what's the pkg name for pidgin?
[11:29] <myusrnm> I tried installing virtualbox, but now i'm getting problems
[11:29] <rockets> adv, its not in the repositorie
[11:29] <rockets> adv, its not in the repositories
[11:29] <myusrnm> i ran sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[11:30] <rockets> nich0s, nessus is in the repositories and zenoss you get from the website
[11:30] <makky> I need help with CD/DVD burning
[11:30] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: also, it's not braindead and will bind nicer to ports and interfaces and stuff like that :)
[11:30] <myusrnm> and quit midway
[11:30] <metaxyy__fw> Right, so if I'm a single developer who's gonna be moving this to DreamHost before anyone else even looks at it, the only reason I should care about lighttpd is the incremental speed difference and the reduced suffering in config, right?
[11:30] <rockets> adv, get pidgin .deb files here http://www.getdeb.net/
[11:30] <myusrnm> now whenever i want to do something virtualbox tries to install
[11:30] <myusrnm> what should i do ?
[11:30] <bluebanana> hi, i was told to use internet explorer browser on https://eapp.adecco.com/eapp/eappInterface?source=WEB. if i download internet explorer for ubuntu, will it work, or must one go to a Windows/ Mac computer?
[11:31] <rockets> myusrnm, virtualbox blows, add the canonical commercial repository and install vmware-server
[11:31] <rockets> myusrnm, its free
[11:31] <jrib> myusrnm: why does the install fail?
[11:31] <makky> Need Nero like CD/DVD Burning program for Ubuntu
[11:31] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: the lighty part, yeah. mongrel is a must. but, lighty is very very tiny component and doesn't really require even root priviledges etc in that setup.. there's no harm for installing it
[11:31] <adv> rockets: why is it not at the repos?
[11:31] <myusrnm> because i get to a graphical install screen
[11:31] <rockets> myusrnm, deb http://archive.canonical.com feisty-commercial main
[11:31] <myusrnm> and it says configuring virtualbox
[11:31] <rockets> adv, because Feisty comes with Gaim 2.0.0b6
[11:31] <myusrnm> and i'm not quite sure how to use that in terminal
[11:32] <Anlar> metaxyy__fw: the scripts start lighty automatically correct, you will never see or have to think about it when developing
[11:32] <rockets> adv, they dont upgrade packages within a single release unless its necessary to fix a security hole or a MAJOR bug
[11:32] <adv> rockets: yes but apt-get install pidgin says there's no such pk
[11:32] <metaxyy__fw> Anlar: K.  This has been one of the most quick and enlightening IRC conversations I've ever had.  It's been an honor ;)
[11:32] <rockets> adv, because there IS NO SUCH PACKAGE
[11:32] <rockets> adv, get the package from getdeb.net
[11:32] <rockets> adv, its not in the apt-get repositories
[11:32] <bobesponja> any body know where I can get curl-config package?
[11:32] <adv> rockets: yes, but why not have it at the repos just in case someone wants it? does it have bugs/probs?
[11:32] <Ahadiel> rockets: http://www.getdeb.net/ <== It's there
[11:32] <rockets> adv, because that would change a whole bunch of dependencies for all sorts of things
[11:33] <jrib> myusrnm: try to use my name when you respond and not use enter to seperate your thoughts.   What exactly does it say?  Use pastebin if you have to or take a screenshot if it is graphical
[11:33] <hacked_kernel> I'm building a lib from source, where should I install it?
[11:33] <rockets> adv, thats just not how it works
[11:33] <rockets> adv, Ubuntu works so that there can be a seemless upgrade to pidgin just by upgrading your package once gutsy 7.10 comes out
[11:33] <nikin> hy i cant setup my MGA200 Graphics card... i get an error about  invalid argument mmap  mmio
[11:33] <jrib> hacked_kernel: what lib?
[11:33] <bluebanana> how can i download internet explorer for ubuntu, while making sure that after i'm done with using IE, I can _completely_ undo the installation?
[11:33] <rockets> adv, having them both in the repos means installing them side by side which is retarded
[11:33] <rockets> Gaim 2.0b6 works just fine. In october you'll have your pidgin
[11:34] <harrison> How long does the Memtest usually take?
[11:34] <Jack_Sparrow> bluebanana: do a full backup before you go there...do that...
[11:34] <hacked_kernel> jrib: like libxml, libphp any lib
[11:34] <daylighter> I had a huge game pad with rumble and I am not using it anymore, but whenever I go into jscalibrator the thing is still there, the new game pad I have is much simpler -- how do I clear it out so I can configure this new controller?
[11:34] <adv> rockets: but pidgin is the most updated version, anyway
[11:34] <jrib> hacked_kernel: well i ask because usually when you ask that question you are building something you do not need to build
[11:35] <rockets> adv, but its not the version that comes with feisty, and version numbers arent changed within one release
[11:35] <bluebanana> Jack_Sparrow, backup of what? and why?
[11:35] <Anlar> harrison: it runs until the end of time actually.. some 4 hours should be enough. if you don't have crashes by then it's all fine
[11:35] <adv> rockets: k
[11:35] <rockets> adv, that maintains stability because the existing packages have been tested by the ubuntu team, while pidgin has NOT been tested by the ubuntu team
[11:35] <myusrnm> @jrib http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30974/plain/ is what it looks like
[11:35] <jrib> myusrnm: hit tab to get to "ok" and then press enter
[11:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bluebanana: what you will need to do to get ie working will be easier to restor from backup than undo what has been done
[11:35] <Ataraxzy> Test
[11:35] <rockets> adv, and even if you can provide a compelling argument for having them both in the repositories (which you cant) that wont change the fact that it doesn't work that way
[11:35] <nikin> hy i cant setup my MGA200 Graphics card... i get an error about  invalid argument mmap  mmio
[11:35] <Ataraxzy> Excellent!
[11:36] <hacked_kernel> jrib: Exactly I don't want to build it but Its required by another application to run, if you don't know the answer thanks for trying to help
[11:36] <jrib> myusrnm: or down or right arrow if that doesn't work
[11:36] <jrib> hacked_kernel: what lib is it?
[11:36] <bcardarella> Does Ubuntu support multiple-monitors? I want to switch from my XP machine to an Ubuntu machine to develop but I will really miss if I can't use my multiple-monitor setup that I currently have and I cannot seem to find a definite answer about this anywhere.
[11:36] <bluebanana> Jack_Sparrow, are you saying that it will be hard to install internet_explorer on ubuntu?
[11:36] <hacked_kernel> jrib: /usr/lib right?? or /usr/local/lib ??
[11:36] <jrib> hacked_kernel: and what application?
[11:36] <daylighter> bluebanana, google wine doors
[11:36] <Anlar> bcardarella: yes. although sometimes some of the 3d acceleration stuff wont work on all heads.
[11:36] <nikin> bcardarella: yes it does
[11:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bluebanana: Not that hard to install and get running in wine but a rats nest to undo.
[11:37] <bluebanana> maybe i should just go to a Windows Computer to use Intenet explorer. That would be a lot less complicated, wouldn't it?
[11:37] <bcardarella> Anlar: that's okay. I'm just using my 2nd monitor for my IDE. Does it support it out of box or do I have to compile anything?
[11:37] <aricz> bluebanana : do it.. bibi
[11:37] <rockets> bluebanana, its not hard at all
[11:37] <aricz> :)
[11:37] <daylighter> bluebanana, there is a program called wine doors, which is like automatix, but for windows programs, with it I had IE 6 installed in minutes
[11:37] <Anlar> bcardarella: no compiling, but you have to edit one configuration file. there are plenty of examples on internet about that
[11:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bluebanana: what are you trying to do with IE, you can always dual boot.. I do.. works fine
[11:37] <rockets> bluebanana, install wine and then get ies4linux
[11:38] <bcardarella> Anlar: cool, I'll digg around. Thanks
[11:38] <rockets> bluebanana, ies4linux installs IE6 + Flash 9 for IE, automatically
[11:38] <compengi> if there are 2 or more pc's behind 1 router running both ssh-server and you want to connect for example to computer 2 how can this be done? or it depends on the username and pass?
[11:38] <rockets> you just keep typing in Yes
[11:38] <bcardarella> dig
[11:38] <NigelS> bluebanana: you could use a VM to run it, that would keep it isolated of course, I don't think wine splurges its apps over the tree though
[11:38] <Jack_Sparrow> bluebanana: Iies4linux will trash your setup..
[11:38] <rockets> Jack_Sparrow, ies4linux works perfectly . . .
[11:38] <jrib> hacked_kernel: for example, you wouldn't compile libxml since it is in ubuntu's repos
[11:38] <NigelS> can't be that perfect, it's running IE, ba-ding etc
[11:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rockets: Say that in winehq and see the response
[11:39] <Anlar> guys, that's IE6... product that is 3+ years old. you should talk aout 7, and that means running vmware instance + headless rdesktop
[11:39] <rockets> Jack_Sparrow, yeah yeah, ive never had a problem with it. at the very least it !worksforme
[11:39] <nikin> compengi: in router you make a virtual  server... so that one port is for one maschine and an other one for an other maschine like 22 and 2222
[11:39] <hacked_kernel> jrib: libxml was just an example
[11:39] <bluebanana> there's a website that requires the usage of IE.
[11:39] <jrib> hacked_kernel: right, that's why I asked for the name of the actual lib you want
[11:39] <Ataraxzy> bardarella, you should also check out xinerama, it allows windows to resize properly.
[11:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !worksforme
[11:39] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[11:39] <bluebanana> NigelS, VM, wine, tree... that's all over my newbie head
[11:40] <Anlar> bluebanana: if that site requires activex component(s), it will likely fail anyways
[11:40] <clouder> last time I messed with ies4linux, the page rendering wasn't matching up with a friend's running it natively
[11:40] <Jack_Sparrow> rockets: winehq feels the same way about that script as we do about automatix
[11:40] <rockets> Jack_Sparrow, but not only does it !workforme, but it !worksformyboss and !worksformycoworkers and !worksforeverybodyIknowthatstriedit
[11:40] <nikin> bluebanana: there is a way... to set firefox to identify himself as IE... but i dont remeber
[11:40] <hacked_kernel> jrib: well, whats the difference between /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib
[11:40] <Ataraxzy> Bluebannana, VM is a Virtual Machine, Wine is Wine Is Not an Emulator, it's a windows emulator.
[11:40] <Jack_Sparrow> rockets: Good for you...
[11:40] <orudie> thanx guys
[11:40] <compengi> nikin, okay i got it
[11:40] <jrib> hacked_kernel: I can't help you if you don't answer my question
[11:40] <daylighter> nikin, user agent
[11:40] <Anlar> Ataraxzy: wine is NOT an emulator
[11:41] <rockets> Anlar, hardy har har har
[11:41] <nikin> compengi: ok :D
[11:41] <Ataraxzy> hahaha
[11:41] <Anlar> rockets: hardy harhar ?
[11:41] <rockets> hardy har;
[11:41] <Anlar> it's not an emulator
[11:41] <hacked_kernel> jrib: I see
[11:41] <IceLink> that's paradox
[11:41] <daylighter> is there an ubuntu gaming channel?
[11:41] <rockets> IceCrew, no its a recursive acronym
[11:41] <Anlar> it's a dynamic runtime linker + the base libraries re-implemented. nothing to do with emulating.
[11:41] <Ataraxzy> anyone know how to get the Wifi light working on a dell laptop?
[11:41] <rockets> Ataraxzy, broadcom wifi?
[11:41] <Anlar> wine doesn't emulate anything.
[11:42] <nikin> hy i cant setup my MGA200 Graphics card... i get an error about  invalid argument mmap  mmio
[11:42] <jrib> hacked_kernel: is there a reason you don't tell me?
[11:42] <Ataraxzy> ayup, after an upgrade to 7.04... /cry
[11:42] <NigelS> bluebanana: i.e. use a virtual machine like vmware to run IE - a VM emulates a separate computer and can run a distinct OS
[11:42] <kayzu> how do i backup the mbr again?
[11:42] <Ataraxzy> I had it working under Ubuntu 6.  the upgrade borked it like the Swedish Chef.
[11:42] <kshahnjd> what is the difference between specifying - and not specifying it when using tar
[11:43] <cblack0> I am trying to set up apt so that it installs certain packages from gutsy but the rest it leaves alone. I am using apt pinning in /etc/apt/preferences for this. I am having issues, it seems to want to update like 20 other packages to gutsy releases
[11:43] <tulcod> my friend has a problem. he has a usb stick with two partitions: one fat32 and one seeming like a linux swap (which is implausible). when inserting that usb stick into his machine, he gets a window saying "Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume '2GB USB'.". here's the output of dmesg: http://rafb.net/p/HAD5zi42.html
[11:43] <jrib> kshahnjd: none
[11:43] <rockets> Ataraxzy, what kind of wifi card is it
[11:43] <Jack_Sparrow> kayzu: with dd
[11:43] <kshahnjd> jrib: i can't seem to extract a tar.gz file
[11:43] <hacked_kernel> jrib: No, I just had this issue from some time and I don't remember that application so I wanted to understand how to install libraries
[11:43] <Ataraxzy> broadcom.
[11:43] <rockets> kayzu, im going to get flamed for saying this, but i like Acronis Trueimage
[11:43] <rockets> Ataraxzy, you need to recompile ndiswrapper
[11:43] <tulcod> wait a sec...
[11:43] <tulcod> I'm in the wrong place
[11:43] <rockets> Ataraxzy, change kernel and ndiswrapper breaks
[11:43] <tulcod> he runs mint :-/
[11:43] <banditti> msg nickserv identify sashab4
[11:43] <nikin> dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1  .. as i remember good
[11:43] <kayzu> jack_sparrow: i'm a nub, i need either a tutorial or the complete command
[11:44] <Ataraxzy> arghhh! okies.  I can do that.
[11:44] <jrib> hacked_kernel: ok, and I'll explain it to you, but I want to make sure you actually need to do this and aren't causing yourself a needless headache
[11:44] <kayzu> rockets: does acronis back up the mbr?
[11:44] <rockets> Ataraxzy, before you compile it do "sudo make uninstall" like 5 times
[11:44] <Jack_Sparrow> kayzu: I can put it up for you in a sec.. on another machine
[11:44] <jrib> kshahnjd: how are you trying?  (btw you can just right click on it and hit "extract here" in the gui)
[11:44] <ninix> rockets: r u able to make image with a ext3 hard drive with acronis ?
[11:44] <Ataraxzy> ouch, that bad?
[11:44] <hacked_kernel> jrib: Thanks a lot
[11:44] <nikin> kayzu: dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1  .. as i remember good
[11:44] <kshahnjd> tar zxsf whatever.tar.gz
[11:44] <Ataraxzy> mmm.  I love acronis.
[11:44] <kshahnjd> jrib: no GUI, ubuntu-server
[11:44] <rockets> ninix, you can back up anything drive with acronis, you just lose some advanced features like loading OEM drivers into a windows image etc.
[11:44] <jrib> kshahnjd: tar xf foo.tar.gz    is enough
[11:45] <Jack_Sparrow> 462 if you just want the boot  512 if you want the partition info
[11:45] <Ataraxzy> makes Ghost look pale.
[11:45] <rockets> ninix, acronis backs up ext3 just fine if you image the entire drive. it should be able to image just the MBR as well
[11:45] <rockets> Ghost blows compared to acronis
[11:45] <kshahnjd> jrib: it automatically detects the gzip?
[11:45] <rockets> I used ghost for years before i use trueimage
[11:45] <jrib> kshahnjd: yeah
[11:45] <rockets> Universal Restore is the greatest thing I've ever seen

[11:45] <Ataraxzy> it does.  though it's nice for splashing multiple images onto a host of computers.  you don't have to buy the 'enterprise' version for that.

[11:46] <jrib> !repeat | RedLin1
[11:46] <ubotu> RedLin1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience

[11:46] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

[11:46] <RedLin1> laggy as hell
[11:46] <kayzu> i created my linux partitions already, do i need to back up the partition info aswell?
[11:46] <Ataraxzy> use gaim.  it's short'n sweet. nothin' fancy.
[11:46] <hacked_kernel> jrib: Thank you
[11:47] <Jack_Sparrow> kayzu: it would not hurt to do one of each
[11:47] <kayzu> okay
[11:47] <Ataraxzy> agree @ Jack_Sparrow
[11:47] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[11:47] <jrib> hacked_kernel: it's really rare that you will need to compile a library.  You should really make sure it's not in ubuntu's repositories (make sure you have enabled universe).  And if you do compile something, it should always go to /usr/local
[11:47] <makaira> What wireless "software" does Feisty Fawn come with, out of the box?
[11:47] <RedLin1> Anyway, can you add a user in recovery mode or something_
[11:47] <kshahnjd> what is 'strict subs' and why does it not like me renaming things?
[11:48] <Ataraxzy> makaira, what network card are you using?
[11:48] <Jack_Sparrow> makaira: broadcom chipset is very easy to set up... not out of the box, but very easy
[11:48] <guhhh> hey ;)
[11:48] <Prendy> Hey
[11:48] <makaira> Whichever comes with the MacbookPro. The wireless works fine, I'm just interested with what Feisty Fawn comes with.
[11:48] <soothsayer> Are there any torrents for the presentations (especially Shuttleworth's keynote) at the Ubuntu Live Conference?
[11:49] <Prendy> I was wondering, is there a choice between ubuntu and xp at start-up?
[11:49] <Ataraxzy> well, unlike the mac, the drivers and the connection software are relatively separate.
[11:49] <makaira> To clarify: I have no troubles. I just want to know if I'm accessing wireless through wpa_supplicant, or through the default software ubuntu comes with, because I installed wpa_supplicant before I attempted to connect.
[11:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Prendy: yes if you set it up that way
[11:49] <Ataraxzy> @Prendy, yes, if you install Ubuntu second.
[11:49] <hacked_kernel> jrib: Yes but some times an app requires a recent version of  a lib that isn't in the repos
[11:49] <hacked_kernel> jrib: Thats the reason
[11:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Prendy: and yes easier to install ubuntu second
[11:49] <jrib> hacked_kernel: what app?
[11:49] <magicrobotmonkey> does anyone know how to get of the "import into f-spot" popup when you plug in a card?
[11:49] <makaira> For instance: Does the default ubuntu software come with the ability to connect to WPA2 Enterprise and PEAP?
[11:50] <Prendy> So, if I'm running xp now, I can just install ubuntu?
[11:50] <makaira> If not, does that mean it's wpa_supplicant doing the work?
[11:50] <Ataraxzy> ahh, I dunno Makaira.  I'm relatively newbish.
[11:50] <sobersabre> hi. Dell Latitude D820 installation problems.
[11:50] <Ataraxzy> @prendy, if you're careful.
[11:50] <RedLin1> It's easy as hell to dualboot Ubuntu, as long as you're not trying to run a raid setup (fake raid setup)
[11:50] <Anlar> makaira: the 802.11x isn't well handled by network-manager but it's doable
[11:50] <sobersabre> I have successfully installed the machine with the regular live CD.
[11:50] <hacked_kernel> jrib: What ever the application is, I don't remember a certain application but I remember that I 've faced this issue before
[11:51] <ShackJack> HI all - when I resume from a suspend to ram, my network isn't active... Try to reset via /etc/init.d/networking restart to no effect... andy suggestions (dbus restart doesn't work so good either) - any suggestions?
[11:51] <makaira> Ugh... That's not what I'm asking.
[11:51] <kayzu> okay so dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1 is the command to back it up, how do i restore the mbr?
[11:51] <sobersabre> I even configured it's wireless card (Broadcom 4311) to work via ndiswrapper.
[11:51] <makaira> I am able to connect, no problems. I just don't know what it is I am using to connect.
[11:51] <Ataraxzy> @prendy you need to make another partition for ubuntu to reside upon.  to do that you need to make absolutely sure that your drive is defragged.
[11:51] <sobersabre> but I cannot make the machine boot again.
[11:51] <Prendy> My drive is defragged
[11:51] <Prendy> Wait
[11:51] <makaira> I need to teach somebody else how to link-up to the wireless here at school, and I'm not sure if I'll need to install wpa_supplicant or if I am working with the default software that comes with feisty.
[11:52] <Ataraxzy> ahh, check your sysmon.
[11:52] <sobersabre> on boot after uSB devices are detected, before the keymap setup the machine simply gets stuck.
[11:52] <Prendy> What do you mean like windows defrag or program defrag?
[11:52] <daylighter> I have a kernel module loaded named "xpad" and I think it is for this new tiny little game pad I have, how would I find out?
[11:52] <Ataraxzy> windows defrag
[11:52] <Prendy> Oh ok
[11:52] <Prendy> I did that today :P
[11:52] <Jack_Sparrow> kayzu: dd if=mbr.backup of/dev/sda bs=1
[11:52] <Ataraxzy> @makaira check System Monitor, you should see which programs are loaded.
[11:52] <jmg> daylighter: google
[11:52] <kayzu> okay thanks :)
[11:52] <Jack_Sparrow> kayzu: assuming your sda and not hda
[11:53] <Prendy> And what did you mean if I'm careful? O.o
[11:53] <makaira> k, thx.
[11:53] <rockets> daylighter, lsmod should show which devices are using xpad
[11:53] <daylighter> rockets, it shows nothing is using it
[11:53] <jmg> rockets: it wont
[11:53] <rockets> daylighter, idk man
[11:53] <jmg> lsmod doesnt show devices
[11:53] <daylighter> rockets, I am trying to get rid of the old game pad I'm not using anymore and calibrate this one with less axis than the other one
[11:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Prendy: partiton selection, any time you resize or edit partitions there can be mistakes
[11:53] <rockets> jmg, actually it does. second column
[11:53] <rockets> jmg, oh wait.
[11:53] <rockets> jmg, neeeeever mind.
[11:53] <Ataraxzy> @prendy kk.  the ubuntu install program should let you change partitions around and resize them.  but be prepared to have to re-install windows.
[11:54] <jmg> daylighter: xpad is the module for the xbox controller
[11:54] <Prendy> :|
[11:54] <daylighter> lol
[11:54] <lusepuster_> hi folks, my sister is running 6.06, and a USB flashdisk doesn't automount. Where to look for it?
[11:54] <daylighter> okay
[11:54] <Prendy> Uh-oh
[11:54] <Ataraxzy> it's not as bad as it sounds.
[11:54] <Prendy> I don't feel too good about installing ubuntu now..
[11:54] <Ataraxzy> just back-up your system and you'll be fine.
[11:54] <jmg> Prendy: i resized my windows partition no worries
[11:54] <daylighter> when I open jscalibrator there is still the axis values for the huge controller, but I need them to go away since I'm now using a simple controller with just a dpad and some buttons
[11:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Prendy: then run it live and in persistent mode with a usb..
[11:54] <Prendy> Yeah, it says that on the help thing
[11:54] <sobersabre> guys, please tell me what can cause the system not to load.
[11:54] <sobersabre> ?
[11:54] <Ataraxzy> yeah. gparted (the utility that resizes partitions) is REALLY good.
[11:55] <Ataraxzy> there are several sobersabre.
[11:55] <RedLin1> I added a user when installing Ubuntu manually, but I cant logging in using it. How do I activate the account?
[11:55] <Prendy> Ok
[11:55] <rockets> gparted is really good if you remember to disable automoun t
[11:55] <Ataraxzy> bad hardware is the primary one.
[11:55] <myusrnm> I'm getting an error message "could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_file';
[11:55] <kitche> RedLin1: does the user have a password?
[11:55] <Prendy> I'll get gparted then :D
[11:55] <spy80us> how to add fonts?
[11:55] <RedLin1> kitche: I did set a password yes
[11:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Prendy: gparted is part of livecd
[11:56] <Ataraxzy> it's on the LiveCD, it's used as part of the install process Prendy, so you're good to go.
[11:56] <sobersabre> Ataraxzy: assuming the hardware worked the 1st boot, and after the 1st one it doesn't boot, I don't think you are right. unless I don't understand what you mean by "bad hardware"
[11:56] <Prendy> Oh ok
[11:56] <Prendy> :P
[11:56] <wastedfluid> Anyone ever see any issues with NetworkManager Appllet.. and it just randomly dying?  I never had this issue with Ubunut 6.06, but it just randomyl dies.. and will not reconnect unless I restart the router(Running 7.04) - However, none of my XP computers are having this issue.  Anyone ?
[11:56] <Ataraxzy> no, that's what I meant. you're right, it's probably not bad hardware.
[11:56] <Prendy> Is a MR.Data CD ok to burn on?
[11:56] <sobersabre> wastedfluid: NetworkManager is not the most stable application in the universe ;-)
[11:56] <Ataraxzy> MR.Data?
[11:56] <Ataraxzy> trued dat sober!
[11:57] <Hamnvik> Can anyone tell me the command for installing *.deb files from terminal?
[11:57] <Prendy> It's the name of the CD XD
[11:57] <Ataraxzy> s/trued/true
[11:57] <RedLin1> Can I logon as root somehow? I'm guessing that there is eaither a default password or simply no password set for root when you manually install Ubunto
[11:57] <sobersabre> Ataraxzy: what are you refering to ?
[11:57] <sobersabre> RedLin1: Read the Fine ubuntu manual.
[11:57] <Prendy> I'll just install ubuntu when I've downloaded it and hope for the best..
[11:57] <Ataraxzy> ahh, should be ok. Prendy. as long as you can write to it.  @sober: application stability.
[11:58] <sobersabre> RedLin1: by default root account's login ability is disabled.
[11:58] <wastedfluid> sobersabre; Any other ideas?  It doesn't die, it just won't connect.
[11:58] <Prendy> Yep
[11:58] <lusepuster_> bump - where to look for a usb memory stick to mount it?
[11:58] <sobersabre> wastedfluid: what are you talking about ?
[11:58] <NigelS> RedLin1: ubuntu doesn't enable the root account - it uses sudo, you shouldn't need to log in as root.  If you want to log in you need to set the password using passwd
[11:58] <wastedfluid> sobersabre; er, I mean, any other programs I could use..?
[11:58] <Prendy> My download is 14% Done >_>
[11:58] <sobersabre> wastedfluid: what do you need to achieve ?
[11:58] <Ataraxzy> you'll do fine prendy, it's easy.  are you on a laptop?
[11:58] <wastedfluid> sobersabre; er, I mean, any other programs I could use.. to replace Networkmanager Applet.. it just dies too much, and I have to restart my router.  I need a package to replace Networkmanager so I don't lose connectivity at random times.
[11:58] <RedLin1> thanks
[11:58] <Prendy> No
[11:59] <Prendy> I'm on a desktop comp
[11:59] <ni1s> The strangest thing happend, I accidently hit Hibernate when I was loging out, and X11 crash, I brefly saw somethin "libusb" and then power'd off, and now my computer refuses to start, anyone got any clues on what happend?
[11:59] <Ataraxzy> then you should be good to go from the outset.
[11:59] <sobersabre> wastedfluid: what hardware do you have for the dying connection ?
[11:59] <Prendy> Hopefully it won't break the wireless internet
[11:59] <Prendy> O.o
[11:59] <Ataraxzy> do you have a landline to connect to?
[11:59] <sobersabre> ni1s: how does it refuse to start ?
[12:00] <Prendy> I have 6.40GB free space
[12:00] <wastedfluid> sobersabre; Well, the card is an Atheros AR5005G.. the router is a Belkin.  None of my XP computers are having this issue.. and I never had this issue on 6.06LTS with .. ah, I forgot the program.  It has to be NetworkManager Applet.. or that's just what it appears to be to me.
[12:00] <IceLink> i cannot understand Nelos Mandela
[12:00] <RedLin1> I found out what I did wrong, I wrote "passwd <pass>" kind of stupid but after you've spent at least 6 hours installing a multi boot with a fakeraid with no previous experiance what so ever these things usually happens )(
[12:00] <ShackJack> ni1s: Maybe hold in power button :)
[12:00] <sobersabre> wastedfluid: and how are you using this card with linux ? which driver ?
[12:00] <Ataraxzy> ouch.  you might wanna put ubuntu on another hd.  the OS itself is going to take up 3G of space.
