[00:00] <Reformer81> roney: Well, the program Rhythmbox is installed with Ubuntu by default.  Amarok is a great choice too.  They both will allow it with the Zune.
[00:00] <alexunder> you have a 10 pixel white line on your display ?
[00:00] <meww> what is a good program to monitor system temperature
[00:00] <travis> no
[00:00] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  I didn't find your model # online.
[00:00] <Reformer81> meww: Open up Synaptic and search for it.
[00:00] <travis> it's like a shadowed layer
[00:00] <roney> Ok thanks i will try to figure it out
[00:00] <unop> meww, lm-sensors
[00:00] <Reformer81> meww: Or just Add/Remove Software.
[00:00] <travis> i can show you
[00:00] <travis> wait
[00:01] <meww> thx
[00:01] <Reformer81> roney: A lot of times with Amarok, you just plug in your device and it will popup a message asking you to configure it.  I haven't used Rhythmbox myself.
[00:01] <Blaqlight> do ccsm, compiz-fusion-icon, and the advanced stuff in Gnome's appearance dialog... do the same thing, cause I have a lot of everything all seem to do the same things.
[00:02] <Shpook> Does anyone in here have experience with Mitchell On-Demand? If so, will it run under WINE?
[00:02] <roney> ok i will install this  Amarok
[00:02] <travis> http://www.disking.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=98774494
[00:02] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: They're very similar.  They configure the settings for CompizFusion.
[00:02] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: CCSM is the most robust.
[00:02] <travis> that's the model
[00:04] <cslater> Anyone have time for a dpkg question?  And is this the right place to ask it?
[00:04] <Reformer81> !ask | cslater
[00:04] <meww> i just installed lm-sensors, how do i start it
[00:04] <Blaqlight> because Id rather not have more than one version of something running
[00:05] <Luckrider> ok... I have a strange question. I am going to Italy soon, and I need to access one of my boxes. I am bring my one hardy box, and leaving the other one. I can access both with remote desktop, but that is over the intranet, I am wondering if someone can help me set it up so I can access it throught the internet
[00:05] <travis> Reformer, the ~/.nvidia-settings-rc does not exist
[00:05] <cslater> I'm trying to create debs to install some custom software on our servers.  One thing I need to do is tweak some php.ini files which belong to other packages.   I want to be able to install without confirmation screens and without breaking apt.  How do I do that?
[00:05] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: to access it from outside your LAN, you'll need to open ports on your router, what sort of remote desktop are you using?
[00:06] <FurryNemesis> !samba
[00:06] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: ccsm handles all the configuration for Compiz.  fusion-icon makes it easier to turn compiz on/off and launch CCSM.  THe settings in the Ubuntu Appearance app are just basic settings.  If you have ccsm, you don't need to use the Appearance dialog (but it can't be removed)
[00:06] <Luckrider> I am using Remote Desktop Viewer to view, and it is krfb for the host box ScottWegner
[00:07] <xNinja> hushmail.com down !!?
[00:07] <zod21> whats hushmail
[00:07] <Default1> After about 30 mins to an hour of use, my USB keyboard and mouse cease to respond even though the computer is still running.
[00:07] <Reformer81> !ot | xNinja
[00:07] <Luckrider> btw, thanks for the help in advanced ScottWegner
[00:07] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  what res are your running now?
[00:07] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: Ok,  I'm not familiar with krfb, but it sounds like it's using VNC.  You'll need to access the admin controls for your router-- will you be able to do that?
[00:07] <zod21> default1 that is really wierd
[00:07] <travis> 1440 900
[00:07] <travis> 60hz
[00:07] <Default1> Yeah
[00:08] <zod21> how the hell, do you have a laptop
[00:08] <Luckrider> yes ScottWegner, I can, it is a vnc client, and I am fimilliar with port Fowarding (thank you torrents)
[00:08] <travis> all eye candy stuff on
[00:08] <xNinja> hey i know i know this is ubuntu channel but i want to check if others can access hushmail.com because i cant :(
[00:08] <xNinja> seems to be down
[00:08] <travis> but installed progressively
[00:08] <|Juan|> if i go to gdm or request a gdmflexiserver my session is eventually killed, i reported it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/244737 but no response
[00:08] <zeeeee> hi, how do i get dual monitors working? currently gnome shows up identically on both screens.
[00:08] <_VeCeT_> Dudes i want to know how to play world of warcraft in linux can someone help me?
[00:08] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  and the video card supports that
[00:08] <zod21> what is hushmail
[00:08] <travis> gnuB_Chris
[00:08] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: Ok, well that's good to hear.  VNC uses port 5900 by default, so you'll need to forward that port to your machine you'll be using remotely
[00:08] <xNinja> zod21 type that in google and see!!
[00:08] <travis> nvidia 8600gt 1gb, i guess it can handle it
[00:09] <zod21> dual monitors is complicated but possible
[00:09] <Reformer81> xNinja: I'm accessing the main page just fine.
[00:09] <travis> it works smoothly in windows
[00:09] <zod21> google it and there are instructions
[00:09] <travis> wityh some minor tunning
[00:09] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  nice card!
[00:09] <travis> yeo
[00:09] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: Then when you're ready to connect using Remote Desktop Viewer, make sure to use the WAN IP (it shouldn't start with 192.168...)
[00:09] <zod21> hushmail? in google
[00:09] <travis> gnuÇb_Chris: nice and cheap
[00:09] <Luckrider> ok... that is easy hold on, let me set that up
[00:09] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  the first thing I would do is drop a res level and see if the line disappears
[00:10] <travis> it did
[00:10] <travis> well
[00:10] <zod21> hey i can get to hushmail
[00:10] <zod21> what now
[00:10] <Luckrider> um... ScottWegner, I am pretty sure that my WAN ip is not 192.168, that is the internal LAN IP
[00:10] <travis> the first time i putted that res there was a 300px vert line totally black
[00:10] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: right, I said it *shouldnt* start with 192...
[00:10] <robf_> what's utmpdump for ubuntu
[00:10] <Luckrider> ahh
[00:10] <robf_> apparently utmpdump isn't there :-\
[00:11] <far2ed> yo
[00:11] <gnuB_Chris> travis: ok...so at one res lower than max, the stream is clear....and you have the latest nvidia bin loaded?
[00:11] <Luckrider> ok... thanks ScottWegner
[00:11] <travis> i tried to handle it mooving x and y axis with the sdcreen but it has a limit
[00:11] <travis> i guess so
[00:11] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: is it workin now?
[00:11] <xNinja> zod21 now you can...but still i didnt receive my mails because the down time:(
[00:11] <travis> it actualizes via synaptic
[00:11] <zod21> huh thats wierd
[00:11] <Blaqlight> Im so lagged out I haven't seen one single response in this channel for 10 minutes.
[00:11] <zod21> xninja
[00:12] <travis> a solution would be chancinh x and y axises on the computer instead of on the screen
[00:12] <travis> but i dont know how to do it
[00:12] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: ccsm handles all the configuration for Compiz.  fusion-icon makes it easier to turn compiz on/off and launch CCSM.  THe settings in the Ubuntu Appearance app are just basic settings.  If you have ccsm, you don't need to use the Appearance dialog (but it can't be removed)
[00:12] <travis> changing
[00:12] <xfm> hi everybody
[00:12] <randal> alexunder:  you there
[00:12] <Luckrider> hold on ScottWegner I am still working on fowarding the port, my comp is slow right now
[00:12] <SeaPhor> ScottWegner, i know a nice how-to on tunneling vnc thru ssh, for security,,, if you want?
[00:12] <zod21> xninja join my chat at zod21 /join zod21
[00:12] <travis> i'm desperate
[00:12] <randal> private chat alexunder
[00:13] <travis> such a good desktop

[00:13] <randal> how do you make a privite chat
[00:13] <travis> so no maximized windows
[00:13] <travis> :(
[00:13] <Luckrider> ok... ScottWegner it would help if I had the correct IP, lol
[00:13] <ScottWegner> SeaPhor: Thanks, I'm just helping Luckyrider getting his VNC set up.  Once he's got the basic VNC working, perhaps he might be interested in better security
[00:13] <xfm> I have a classic bug with nautilus: my desktop sometimes desappears, I have to restart or killall nautilus to have it back. Is there a long term solution to my problem?

[00:14] <Luckrider> I know my IP ScottWegner, it is in xchat
[00:14] <randal> Private chat alexunder
[00:14] <gnuB_Chris> I would do the bin install and see if video clears up
[00:14] <pvl1> do i have to edit my xorg.conf to enable direct rendering?

[00:14] <ScottWegner> SeaPhor: great, thanks
[00:14] <joe_electrician> xfm, have you watched your memory to see what program maybe be using it up to cause this crash?
[00:14] <randal> alexunder:  you  there  ITS ME YOU THERE
[00:15] <xNinja> ok
[00:15] <randal> #alexunder
[00:15] <xNinja> ?
[00:15] <SeaPhor> ScottWegner, np, if you get the chance to look it over, i could use the feedback ;-)
[00:15] <randal> how do you privite chat
[00:15] <travis> wtf!!!
[00:15] <zeeeee> hi, how do i get dual monitors working? currently gnome shows up identically on both screens.
[00:15] <anakin_> Hello all, I am using an nvidia geforce 8 graphics card. problem is, the quality of video is very shoddy. not like its pixelated or anything.
[00:15] <xNinja> just double click on any name
[00:15] <Luckrider> ok.... ScottWegner, it looks like it might be working, it is a little slow.
[00:15] <travis> gnuB_Chris: i've got the 169.12
[00:15] <Luckrider> thanks very much ScottWegner
[00:15] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: sure, glad I could help
[00:15] <travis> gnuB_Chris: out of date
[00:15] <anakin_> but during fast motion scenes, there are these horizontal wedges sort of thing.
[00:16] <travis> i guess
[00:16] <Luckrider> works perfectly ScottWegner, thanks again
[00:16] <zod21> xninja sorry im back
[00:16] <randal> xninja but hes loged in here but he haset typed anything i had to restarrt my computer all i know is his name
[00:16] <xNinja> wb
[00:16] <zod21> i backed out for a sec
[00:16] <anakin_> any one know whether there's an option in xorg.conf to fix this? (perhaps a limitation of the driver?)
[00:16] <randal> xNinja:  how do i invite him to a chat or something
[00:16] <glitsj16> pvl1: you can check with "glxinfo | grep direct" whether direct rendering is already enabled ..
[00:16] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  that's not unexpected.   the bin install will probably cure the video res problem.
[00:16] <pvl1> glitsj16, its not
[00:16] <ScottWegner> anakin_: are you using the restricted nvidia driver?
[00:16] <travis> i'm gonna try
[00:17] <anakin_> yes, ScottLij
[00:17] <anakin_> ScottWegner,
[00:17] <anakin_> should i use the binary driver from nvidia?
[00:17] <travis> gnuB_Chris: is there some repository for the drivers?
[00:17] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  the bin install is a little more complicated than apt-get....etc...but it usually works better.  I did this for my 24" dell a few months ago
[00:18] <travis> have i got to do somthing before i start?
[00:18] <ScottWegner> anakin_: mm, it's generally more stable to use the restricted driver from the repositories, and that way you won't need to rebuild the kernel driver after every upgrade
[00:18] <robf_> what's the utmpdump command in ubuntu  I can't find it in apt so,  it must have experienced a name change?
[00:18] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  no. wget the download link from their website
[00:18] <travis> and exec that's all?
[00:18] <travis> no need to unisntall previous drivers or apps?
[00:18] <ScottWegner> anakin_: if you install the nvidia-settings package, you can try playing with some settings to see if you can improve the quality there
[00:18] <randal> alexunder:
[00:18] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  then you have to make the bin executable...but that should all be on the instructions page.  pretty straight-foward
[00:19] <travis> thanx man
[00:19] <robf_> travis: watch for some sneaky php redirects on some download sites,  they'll have you downloading stupid html files...
[00:19] <anakin_> k, ScottWegner, let me look into it, its already installed
[00:19] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  no.  it will overwrite the previous drivers and make changes to your xorg
[00:19] <travis> robf_: it's the nvidia pager
[00:19] <travis> page
[00:20] <robf_> travis: dunno if they have direct links or php redirects (which you don't notice really in a browser anyhow)
[00:20] <robf_> digium is BAD about that though ;)_
[00:20] <robf_> i always forget and get a crap page instead of asterisk / whatever
[00:20] <orudie> how can i remove a user in terminal ?
[00:20] <robf_> just an fyi,  in case you get something odd and not the files you intended on downloading,  if it works,  ignore it
[00:21] <robf_> orudie: deluser
[00:21] <glitsj16> pvl1: sorry was on the phone, what video card do you have ?
[00:21] <robf_> what's the utmpdump command in ubuntu  I can't find it in apt so,  it must have experienced a name change?
[00:21] <SeaPhor> orudie, or userdel, i like the options better,,, man them both
[00:22] <pvl1> glitsj16, radeon 2600, i had this all running, but then i used vmware to get into my ubuntu, and now only compiz runs, but like trem wont
[00:22] <thingy> robf_, its called utmppoop in Ubuntu
[00:22] <Johnny> can someone help me with an ssh problem
[00:22] <roney> how do i find out what port my Zune is useing
[00:23] <Johnny> just a second ago i could ping my desktop
[00:23] <Johnny> now it says there is no connection to host
[00:23] <roney> Im useing ubuntu
[00:23] <Johnny> and when i set connection to wired i still get nothing
[00:23] <robf_> thingy: yeah that was...uhm... what's the opposite of funny.
[00:24] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  did you change anything...firewall settings?
[00:24] <the_darkside_986> What is the proper way to set up easycrypt? It doesn't satisfy the dependency on truecrypt automatically, and once I install truecrypt from their site, Easycrypt doesn't work.
[00:24] <Johnny> johnny@boxnet:~$ ping <IP_ADDRESS> PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data. From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[00:24] <Johnny> now gnuB_Chris
[00:24] <glitsj16> pvl1: i see, hang on, you can go over https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, i think you need the Composite entree set to true for ATI cards, not sure
[00:24] <Johnny> im trying to back up my desktop
[00:24] <robf_> so no one knows what utmpdump is in ubuntu?   I mean,  its such a standard tool...
[00:24] <Johnny> desktop is set to <IP_ADDRESS>  laptop is <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:25] <Mecha25> johnny, you did check network cables, right?
[00:25] <Johnny> i set it to wired and it still says host unreachable and i lose my wireless connection
[00:25] <Johnny> yes
[00:25] <Johnny> its connected
[00:25] <robf_> Johnny: your wired setup for the laptop is set to use the same IP?
[00:25] <Johnny> i did delete .ssh/known_hosts to reset the key
[00:25] <joe_electrician> Johnny, watch the system log output.. the finer details are not always shown in the gui
[00:26] <Johnny> yes
[00:26] <robf_> Johnny: hrm,  is it conflicting with the wirleless network then?
[00:26] <pvl1> glitsj16, ill try this
[00:26] <robf_> trying to use the same ip as a currently used one?
[00:26] <Johnny> no when i set it to wired i lose my wireless connection
[00:26] <xNinja> Johnny also watch johnny the hacker google hacks database...one of my fav sites!
[00:26] <robf_> I'd usually set my wired vs. wireless to different IPs to avoid self inflicted collision
[00:26] <Knightly88> Can I get some suggestions for a good Firewall program with options for blocking certain IP's and ports etc. Thanks.
[00:26] <randal> alexunder
[00:26] <thingy> robf_, in the acct package there is a dump-utmp command
[00:27] <robf_> ah ok dump-utmp
[00:27] <robf_> Knightly88: ip chains...
[00:28] <robf_> knightly;  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html
[00:28] <gnuB_Chris> knightly: ufw ..the uncomplicate firewall is installed by defualt.  it just needs to be enabled.  very simple front-end to iptables....the sucsessor to ipchains
[00:28] <Blaqlight> so I can remove compiz-fusion-icon in favor of ccsm yes?
[00:28] <SeaPhor> thought it was all iptables now?
[00:28] <gnuB_Chris> knightly:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823741
[00:28] <robf_> SeaPhor: I'm old leave me be :(
[00:29] <robf_> prolly is,  I don't do much net face work anymore ;p
[00:29] <SeaPhor> robf_, lol, i bet i'm older ;-)
[00:29] <robf_> SeaPhor: how old?
[00:29] <Johnny> does anyone know how to connect using cross over cable
[00:30] <SeaPhor> robf_, 42
[00:31] <outofretirement> when i try to mount a .iso file it says cannot find file or directory
[00:31] <SeaPhor> gnuB_Chris, Great link, thanks!
[00:31] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: how are you trying to mount it?
[00:31] <doryian> #pidgin
[00:31] <outofretirement> sudo mount ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso -o loop /media/ubuntu_iso
[00:31] <robf_> SeaPhor: yeah you got me by 13 yrs or so
[00:31] <Default1> I don't know what is causing my USB keyboard and mouse to stop working after ~30-60 mins of computer use, while the computer itself still is unfrozen
[00:32] <joe_electrician> Default1, checked the batteries ?
[00:32] <SeaPhor> robf_, its all good bro :-)
[00:32] <alvarezp> Default1: dmesg and /var/log might give you clues
[00:32] <Johnny> ok
[00:32] <Johnny> i just had it
[00:32] <_2> is there a linux command like the "read" builtin in bash ?
[00:32] <foug> hello, what is the command to find out my default gateway for my network?
[00:32] <Johnny> it was connecting
[00:32] <Default1> They don't have betteries
[00:32] <Johnny> now all the sudden its back to saying no route to host
[00:32] <Johnny> wtf
[00:32] <Default1> alvarezp, Ok I'll check
[00:32] <Johnny> this never happend on edgy
[00:32] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: first, make sure you have the name of the iso correctly (you can use tab-completion on the terminal),
[00:33] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: and also, perhaps specify the parameter "-t iso9660" on the with the mount command
[00:33] <outofretirement> i do could it be the .iso image itself or does it have to be in a golder
[00:33] <VSpike> I'm puzzled - I have a nat'd network <IP_ADDRESS>/24 which connects via a hardwire to a router on <IP_ADDRESS>.  I can actually access the internet fine, but I can't access anything on my local network. I'm wondering if it's due to an odd routing table entry "<IP_ADDRESS>     *               <IP_ADDRESS>     U     1000   0        0 eth0"
[00:33] <joe_electrician> foug, 'route'
[00:33] <SeaPhor> Johnny, what card you have?
[00:33] <gnuB_Chris> foug: ifconfig should tell you everything in your netconfig
[00:33] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean
[00:33] <VSpike> A ping of <IP_ADDRESS> gives me "From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable"
[00:33] <Blaqlight> foug type "route" into a terminal.
[00:34] <xfm> I frequently loose my desktop, restart nautilus works, but I would like a stable solution, anon has an idea?
[00:34] <foug> joe_electrician: Blaqlight thank you
[00:34] <foug> gnuB_Chris: everything put the default gateway ;P
[00:34] <VSpike> when I try to "sudo route del <IP_ADDRESS>" I get a message "SIOCDELRT: No such process"
[00:34] <alvarezp> VSpike: check ifconfig
[00:34] <the_darkside_986> xfm: try turning off media file previews. when it is creating the thumbnails for large number of files, it can die easily like that.
[00:35] <joe_electrician> nslookup localhost also gives me my gateway :)
[00:35] <outofretirement> it still says no such file or directory
[00:35] <_2> xfm kde ?
[00:35] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: if you type "ls", can you see the ISO file?
[00:35] <Blaqlight> one of these days Ill turn my Windows XP box into a Ubuntu network fileserver/router.
[00:36] <_2> xfm xfce4 ?
[00:36] <xfm> _2 no ubuntu
[00:36] <tamayox_> Hi there. Can anyone tell me how boot from terminal?
[00:36] <_2> xfm those are both ubuntu
[00:36] <foug> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and I can't seem to access my router configuration through the ip address, were there any changes made to firefox3 that prevents this
[00:36] <xfm> what's xfce4
[00:36] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, you mean start the x server ?
[00:36] <gnuB_Chris> tamaxox:  you want to reboot?
[00:36] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: exactly the opposite
[00:36] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/m73930ad3
[00:36] <orudie> how can i uninstall webmin?
[00:36] <LieZ^> any particular reason why a conf file is read only?
[00:37] <_2> xfm a desktop environment.  like gnome and kde are.
[00:37] <xfm> _2 ok, do u mean I should use kde
[00:37] <the_darkside_986> No use switching desktops, as much as I like KDE, Ubuntu's presentation of KDE is... lacking and XFCE lacks too many features. Gnome is what the professional world uses anyway. But as I said, disabling previews of media files helped me with that problem of crashing.
[00:37] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: I want Ubuntu to take me to the terminal before it loads X
[00:37] <_2> LieZ^ cause you don't own it ?
[00:37] <outofretirement> it shows th iso so i put that into the command but it still says no such file or directory
[00:37] <ScottWegner> foug: there weren't any changes that should prevent this.  if you right click on the network icon in your toolbar and click "Connection Information", you can find the IP address to your router under "Primary DNS"
[00:37] <AutoMatriX> hi foilks, can somebody tell me how to 'imort' or move the 'evolution' datafiles, and off course my msg-base fron /oldhome to /home ?
[00:37] <_2> xfm just throwing out sujestions you could try.
[00:38] <robf_> tamayox_: update-rc.d remove gdm
[00:38] <xfm> ok tks
[00:38] <robf_> or something similar I forget the specs on update-rc.d   that should remove your login manager so x won't load
[00:38] <robf_> you'll be at a term by default
[00:38] <_2> xfm i personally like blackbox for a desktop env.  but i'm a minimalest of sorts.
[00:38] <foug> ScottWegner: i took those panels away, but i know my default gateway, it just isn't connectiong
[00:38] <tamayox_> robf_ I don't want that by default
[00:38] <robf_> or xdm or whatever ubuntu uses
[00:38] <robf_> tamayox_: what do you want?
[00:39] <Zamadatx> i just tried to open a gi image n firefox and ubuntu crashed
[00:39] <tamayox_> robf_ I want to start from terminal just once
[00:39] <the_darkside_986> Does anyone know of something like easycrypt but actually works? I'm having no luck with this thing.
[00:39] <Zamadatx> soemthing similar happened yesterday
[00:39] <_2> robf_ gome by default uses gdm
[00:39] <Zamadatx> any ideas?
[00:39] <robf_> tamayox_: then turn it off and then turn it back on?
[00:39] <gnuB_Chris> Tamayox: I think you can also change your session at the login prompt if you don't want to remove gdm permanently
[00:39] <VSpike> tamayox_: use the recovery mode from grub?
[00:39] <ScottWegner> foug: strange.  Can you connect using the same IP address from a different computer?
[00:39] <qmr> I need xrealvncviewer on Ubuntu 8.04, like RIGHT NOW... any help?
[00:39] <Johnny> can someone explain why my desktop keeps changing its ip by itself
[00:39] <tamayox_> VSpike: yeah...
[00:39] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, safe mode should work
[00:39] <alvarezp> VSpike: give me plain sudo ifconfig
[00:39] <Johnny> i set eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:39] <robf_> just delete the rc entry and then add it with update-rc.d defaults gdm
[00:39] <Johnny> and it changes back after a couple minutes
[00:39] <Zamadatx> i just tried to open a gif image in firefox and ubuntu crashed and i opened an image yesteraday and ubuntu crashed any ideas?
[00:39] <robf_> when you're done
[00:39] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: try this command: sudo mount -o loop *.iso /media/cdimage
[00:39] <foug> ScottWegner: i'll go try, where else can i acces the connection information
[00:40] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/d1d0f8329
[00:40] <sebastian_> how can i install icecat from hardy?
[00:40] <ScottWegner> foug: I'm sorry, what information?
[00:40] <Zamadatx> i just tried to open a gif image in firefox and ubuntu crashed and i opened an image yesteraday and ubuntu crashed any ideas?
[00:40] <jack-desktop> how can i get all movies to open with vlc?
[00:40] <tamayox_> Okay guys. The thing is that I installed a new nVidia driver, and it seems to have conflicts. It's not loading X
[00:40] <tamayox_> That's why I need to start from terminal
[00:41] <ScottWegner> foug: you can type "ifconfig" at a command prompt for a wired connection, or iwconfig for wireless
[00:41] <Zamadatx> jack desktop system>preferances. preffered applications
[00:41] <_2>      anyone know if there is a linux command like the "read" bash builtin ?    that one could use with dash ?
[00:41] <tamayox_> so I can restore the xor.conf
[00:41] <xfm> jack-desktop you click right on a film and follow your intuition
[00:41] <alvarezp> VSpike: iptables -t nat -L -n
[00:41] <jack-desktop> xfm: by default/
[00:41] <VSpike> tamayox_: if X fails to start, dont you end up at a terminal anyway?
[00:41] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, you just need to type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to restore x
[00:41] <VSpike> tamayox_: if not, what about ctrl-alt-f1?
[00:41] <tamayox_> VSpike: That's not happening to me
[00:41] <Zamadatx> anybody had ubuntu crash using firefox ot open images?
[00:41] <SeaPhor> tamayox_, just boot from the live cd and copy the xorg.conf from /etc/X11 to /media/disk/etc/X11/
[00:42] <Corkster> cp xorg.conf.instal xorg.conf
[00:42] <tamayox_> I don't have a live CD
[00:42] <MXIIA> Can someone PM me with how to uninstall Alien Arena
[00:42] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/d1001fd89
[00:42] <Johnny> can anyone help me figure this out please my desktop keeps setting eth0 back to some other ip after i specifically set it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:42] <tamayox_> someone once told me it could be done via GRUB
[00:42] <xfm> jack-desktop look in properties
[00:42] <Johnny> and im in the middle of copying files
[00:42] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, if you read /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will tell you how to restore x
[00:43] <outofretirement> keeps saying no file or directory
[00:43] <ScottWegner> MXIIA: if you installed it from the repositories: sudo apt-get remove alien-arena
[00:43] <gnuB_Chris> sebastian:  i don't see icecat as a dist package.  maybe check out the gnu site for a download
[00:43] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  can u paste in the pastebin the contents of /etc/network.interfaces
[00:43] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: how can I? I don't have access to X or the terminal
[00:43] <MXIIA> I'll try
[00:43] <Johnny> no
[00:43] <Johnny> the desktop doesnt have internet
[00:43] <robf_> oh here's a useful script I wrote if anyone cares...  http://pastebin.ca/1071838 though I dunno how much use people will get out of it,  I find myself using it quite often
[00:43] <MXIIA> finally worked...
[00:44] <MXIIA> thanks ScottWegner
[00:44] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, why not? your system should boot up into the terminal if x fails
[00:44] <robf_> fixes those annoying timestamps in dmesg
[00:44] <robf_> ;)
[00:44] <Mecha25> anybody know why x suddenly stopped restarting after crashes?
[00:44] <VSpike> Johnny: If it's using DHCP by default which it probably is, can't you configure the dhcp server to give it the fixed address you want?
[00:44] <sebastian_> How do i install GNU icecat on hardy?
[00:44] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: That's strange... it's not doing it
[00:44] <Johnny> i did VSpike
[00:44] <alvarezp> VSpike: I don't think the route should have anything to do with it, but try removing it with "sudo route del default gw" twice and resetting your gateway with "sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>"
[00:44] <alvarezp> just for kicks
[00:44] <Johnny> sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> and i set it to static in the network config with the same address
[00:45] <kernel_ghost> Johnny look in the /etc/network/interfaces file and see whether it is still set to using static ip
[00:45] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, if its a blank screen just use tty1 alt+control+1
[00:45] <kernel_ghost> or dhcp
[00:45] <Johnny> ok
[00:45] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, er alt+control+F1
it keeps saying no file or directory
[00:45] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: yeah, that's it... the screen doesn't show anything, just shows.... well, nothing
[00:45] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[00:46] <Johnny> eth0 is set to auto kernel_ghost
[00:46] <VSpike> alvarezp: "sudo route del default gw" gives me a usage prompt
[00:46] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: when?
[00:46] <Johnny> should i set it to dhcp
[00:46] <roney> need help connecting my zune to Amarok
[00:46] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: after it "loads"?
[00:46] <kernel_ghost> Johnny
[00:46] <kernel_ghost> Johnny http://paste.ubuntu.com/27367/
[00:46] <Johnny> it saus auto lo / iface lo inet loopback /  iface eth0 inet dhcp / auto eth0
[00:46] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  thats an example of a properly configured static ip
[00:46] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, you have multiple tty sessions, F1 up to F6 switch to any one using alt+control+F1 to access them and fix X
[00:47] <robf_> why the heck does dmesg use such retarded time stamps anyhow,   I should write a patch to make it human readable flaggable
[00:47] <alvarezp> VSpike: sorry, it was "sudo route del default".  BTW, can you ping yourself? <IP_ADDRESS>?
[00:47] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, after the screen goes blank
[00:47] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: it sounds like you're in the wrong directory.  Can you see the ISO file in the file browser?
[00:47] <VSpike> alvarezp: yes, i can ping myself
[00:47] <gnuB_Chris> tamayox:  yes, after the screen goes blank
[00:47] <roney> I need help connecting my zune to Amarok
[00:47] <qmr> xrealvncviewer in hardy ?? anyone???
[00:47] <alvarezp> VSpike: cat /proc/net/dev
[00:47] <robf_> qmr: realvnc?
[00:47] <tamayox_> joe_electrician, gnub_Chris: that will take to the terminal?
[00:47] <robf_> is just calle vncviewer
[00:48] <outofretirement> yeah it is in my desktop
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> sudo apt-get won't work for me at all
[00:48] <robf_> vncserver is "realvnc" also
[00:48] <reverx> I'm a little stressed setting up my wireless right now can anyone be of assistance
[00:48] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, read /etc/X11/xorg.conf  for how to fix X... yw
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> I keep getting this error: E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[00:48] <Johnny> ok im still getting ping replies b
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> and nothing will install
[00:48] <Johnny> but now when i try to click on the mounted volume it wont let me
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> please help
[00:48] <gnuB_Chris> yeah.  if she logs in and the screen blanks, the gdm is up...just not syncing correctly.  the functions to switch between run levels should still work.
[00:49] <temoto-mobi> Suppose i've done echo foo > important.file
[00:49] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: looks like you need to remove it and add it again
[00:49] <temoto-mobi> is it possible to recover its content?
[00:49] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  what mount point
[00:49] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: but I must be in terminal at least. ctrl+alt+F1 will take me there?
[00:49] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: I'm at my cousin's
[00:49] <Johnny><EMAIL_ADDRESS>kernel_ghost
[00:49] <temoto-mobi> ext3 fs
[00:49] <gnuB_Chris> seelsm like there was a backspace  escape to get there too
[00:49] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: and unfurtonately he has Windows
[00:50] <reverx> Once I've installed ndiswrapper where do I look for teh wireless driver
[00:50] <gnuB_Chris> ctrl + alt + backspace
[00:50] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: unfortunately*
[00:50] <kernel_ghost> Johnny: hang on are u trying to access that machine using samba?
[00:50] <thingy> reverx, is it a broadcom wireless card?
[00:50] <Johnny> no
[00:50] <outofretirement> scottwegner do i need to move the iso into a special place
[00:50] <reverx> thingy: yup
[00:50] <Johnny> just connect to server in gnome
[00:50] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  what is mounted and how
[00:50] <reverx> thingy:4310
[00:50] <tamayox_> gnuB_Chris: that'll take me to the terminal after the screen goes blank?
[00:51] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: it shouldn't matter where the ISO is, as long as you have a terminal opened in the same location
[00:51] <KernelKlick> hey guys...I'd like to take my current kernel and make a small change to run on another machine ...can that be done?
[00:51] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  you need to use either samba, or ssh/sftp or some mode of sharing, so can u explain what u are trying to access
[00:51] <MatBoy> is UDMA used on IDE drives that are on a SATA bus in a laptop ?
[00:51] <Johnny> im using nautilus
[00:51] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: Find the path of the folder where the ISO is located, and in the terminal enter the command "cd {path-of-iso}" (no quotes, replace {path-of-iso} with the actual path
[00:51] <Johnny> im connected through gftp
[00:51] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: and then try the mount command
[00:51] <techsupport> how to install webmin ?
[00:51] <Johnny> but nautilus was working just a second ago and now its not
[00:51] <gnuB_Chris> tamayox:  shes, it should escape the normal session and drop you to the command shell session.  you will have to login  again, I think
[00:52] <foug> ScottWegner: the problem is firefox3, i can connect just fine from a windows comp with IE. Why does firefox3 suck? lol
[00:52] <randal> alexunder
[00:52] <RazorBeamz> I keep getting this error: E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[00:52] <HP_Administrator> d
[00:52] <robf_> foug: ff3 works fine for me
[00:52] <RazorBeamz> please help me
[00:52] <VSpike> alvarezp: OK, routing table looks correct now but symptoms still the same
[00:52] <sebastian_> How do i install GNU icecat on hardy?
[00:52] <foug> robf_: you can login to your linksys router configuation?
[00:52] <alvarezp> VSpike: cat /proc/net/dev
[00:52] <tamayox_> gnuB_Chris: thanks man... I'll try it... for my sake, I hope it works.
[00:52] <FAJALOU> foug:  try installing opera or something and see if that works, also try reinstalling ff3
[00:52] <robf_> yep I sure can
[00:52] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/d14c55328
[00:52] <alvarezp> VSpike: Just eth0?
[00:52] <ScottWegner> foug: that's strange, but still hard to believe that it's a firefox problem (the browser shouldn't have anything to do with it).  You could try installing an alternative browser, such as Epiphany, to confirm it's a FIrefox problem
[00:52] <robf_> did it earlier
[00:52] <zod2108> f
[00:53] <robf_> though maybe I've a different build than you
[00:53] <foug> FAJALOU: opera has never been able to connect my router config
[00:53] <robf_> what happens?
[00:53] <MatBoy> no-one using IDE drives on a SATA bus ?
[00:53] <robf_> you don't get that xulrunner error do ya?
[00:53] <thingy> reverx, Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[00:53] <gnuB_Chris> sebastion:  go to the gnu page.  it probably has to be compiled.
[00:53] <alvarezp> VSpike: anything on the firewall? iptables -L -n
[00:53] <isor> sebastian_, what is icecat??
[00:53] <crstn86> hi.  can someone help me with the dimmer on my computer?
[00:53] <robf_> isor: shoutcast type server
[00:53] <FAJALOU> foug:  then it's not a ff3 problem, its a ubuntu configuration problem; are you trying to get them to run through a proxy or something?
[00:53] <robf_> mp3 streamer etc.
[00:53] <gnuB_Chris> isor:  it is a gnu Firefox
[00:54] <bigbadjesus__> Hi, I'm having a problem with my thinkpad t61 running ubuntu studio 8.04 something something 19 rt, when I reboot the laptop it hangs after the ubuntu loading animation and I see some corrupted looking repeated across the screen, then another, and then its just blank and hung
[00:54] <thingy> reverx, notice that you need to find out whether you have a bcm4310 rev 01 ore rev02 to determine which driver to use
[00:54] <sebastian_> iso: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat
[00:54] <MatBoy> icecat kinda sucks sometimes
[00:54] <robf_> icecat or icecast
[00:54] <robf_> oh
[00:54] <robf_> nvm
[00:54] <VSpike> alvarezp: doh.. lightbulb moment
[00:54] <robf_> heh
[00:54] <RazorBeamz> please stop ignoring me
[00:54] <FloodBot1> robf_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:54] <RazorBeamz> I keep getting this error: E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[00:54] <Mecha25> anyone know why X has suddenly stopped being able to restart after it crashes?  I keep having to hard-reset the system
[00:54] <KernelKlick> I would like to install ubuntu on an older machine...the problem is that the installation CD doesnt work on the machine because it does not have a coproc.  Can I make a kernel that will work with math emulation and then install ubuntu?
[00:54] <bigbadjesus__> I'm able to boot using recovery mode though
[00:54] <robf_> Mecha25: nvidia driver?
[00:54] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: I answered your question
[00:54] <qmr> robf_: I need xrealvncviewer, because of a protocol mismatch issue.  It was in 7.10, it's not in 8.04
[00:54] <travis> gnuB_Chris: it didn't work
[00:54] <robf_> Mecha25: some nforce chipsets dislike the driver and like to hardlock when it goes down..
[00:54] <reverx> thingy: what if I have hardy does that change anything
[00:54] <VSpike> alvarezp: it's something I installed recently and forgot about, and need to turn off by default.. moblock
[00:55] <outofretirement> scottwegner thnx alot dude it worked
[00:55] <robf_> qmr: the vncviewer package does not suffice your needs?
[00:55] <Mecha25> robf: makes sense, but I'm on ATI
[00:55] <alvarezp> VSpike: what's that?
[00:55] <robf_> Mecha25: well then,  I dunno =s
[00:55] <isor> oh ok i heard of that bout 6 or more months ago
[00:55] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: ok great, glad we got it working  :)
[00:55] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: easiest thing to do is remove that file and add it again as per the medibuntu howto.
[00:55] <qmr> robf_: No, I've been trying to use it
[00:55] <robf_> ahh ok.
[00:55] <travis> gnuB_Chris: it maked a module for my kernel and messed something up, now i'm unable of using the nvidia driver
[00:55] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://moblock.berlios.de/
[00:55] <sebastian_> how do i install it?
[00:55] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  you tried cycling through the run levels with the function keys?
[00:55] <sebastian_> its not in the repos
[00:55] <Mecha25> robf: it used to auto-restart, no trouble, now it hangs at the screen right before the restart, listing the last few service daemons I have starting
[00:55] <VSpike> alvarezp: it's a linux version of peerguarding, essentially
[00:55] <travis> ?¿
[00:56] <robf_> Mecha25: hmmm, what began this?  eg what occurred before this was a problem
[00:56] <RazorBeamz> MrKennie: I'm not sure what you mean
[00:56] <thingy> reverx, shoudl still work, i didn't look at the instructions in details
[00:56] <travis> gnuB_Chris: is there a way to go back?
[00:56] <alvarezp> VSpike: I see
[00:56] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: the file appears to have the contents of a webpage in it
[00:56] <bigbadjesus__> could anyone possibly shed light on a solution to my laptop hanging after the loading animation and displaying some weird corrupted patterns.. it works using recovery mode
[00:56] <travis> gnuB_Chris: to let things as they where before?
[00:56] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  sure.  apt-get install nvidia again
[00:56] <robf_> Mecha25: does it actually hard lock or can you ctrl-alt-1  to a terminal
[00:56] <reverx> thingy: Hmmm... I'll dwell on it some more (it was the guide that was too general for me) thanks for the help though
[00:57] <travis> but synaptic believes it is installed
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: not sure, it happened after a driver update, I'm wondering if it messed up a config file somewhere.  what config files are used upon alt+ctrl+backspace?
[00:57] <RazorBeamz> MrKennie: That error shows up any time I try to use sudo apt-get. I can't update or install anything
[00:57] <sebastian_> gnuB_Chris: any clue of how to install icecat on hardy?
[00:57] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: the easiest thing to do is remove that file and follow the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[00:57] <VSpike> alvarezp: sheesh .. sorry about that .. moral of the story is I should go and sleep :)
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: yes, I can alt+ctrl+f1
[00:57] <VSpike> alvarezp: thanks for the help though - I appreciate it
[00:57] <robf_> Mecha25: ctrl-alt-backspace effectively kills X,  so gdm restarts it
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: how do you manually restart x from there, that'd be another option
[00:57] <alvarezp> VSpike: hehe. np.
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: AHA! so I need to restart x using GDM?
[00:57] <gnuB_Chris> travis: you are in the shell, right?
[00:57] <robf_> Mecha25: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[00:57] <RazorBeamz> MrKennie: I'm not sure you understand my problem
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: thanks!
[00:58] <isor> sebastian_, if there is a .deb the download should auto load it to the package manger
[00:58] <robf_> yeah I think ubuntu uses gdm,  may be xdm ,  I'm not sure tbh
[00:58] <Photocopy> Wow! Xubuntu 8.10 looks great
[00:58] <sebastian_> isor: i don't know how to do that...what do i do?
[00:58] <Mecha25> wahoo!! now time to crash my X server
[00:58] <Mecha25> :D
[00:58] <travis> gnuB_Chris: no
[00:58] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: I beleive I understand. Do you intend to use the medibuntu repository?
[00:58] <roney> I would like to use my zune in Ubuntu Please Help!!!
[00:58] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: or not
[00:58] <travis> gnuB_Chris: gdm with vesa drivers
[00:58] <RazorBeamz> roney: You can't
[00:58] <isor> sebastian_, does it tell you there is a debian binary file for download
[00:59] <crstn86> has anyone had the problem that when they closed their laptop and the screen got permanently dimmed?
[00:59] <FAJALOU> !zune | roney
[00:59] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  ahh...you have to quit the gdm to do the bin install clean.
[00:59] <travis> i did it
[00:59] <gnuB_Chris> that should have been in the readme
[00:59] <MrKennie> randal:
[00:59] <travis> and it doesn't boot up
[00:59] <MrKennie> er, oops
[00:59] <travis> so it loads the failsafe configuration

[01:05] <roney> so i tryed to install the zune software with wine but it wont install
[01:05] <MrKennie> roney: not sure but does Zune use MTP?
[01:06] <rockyrock> i want to know if Ubuntu recognize the modem or not
[01:06] <MrKennie> Im guessing it does.

[01:06] <robf_> sebastian_: make install
[01:06] <robf_> usually
[01:06] <MrKennie> sebastian_: I really don't know. I think they have binaries but you will need to follow their instructions
[01:06] <sebastian_> robf_ not in the repos
[01:07] <isor> sebastian_, says there is abinary but i don't see it do you know how to compile a source package
[01:07] <sebastian_> isor: nope, how does one compile a source package?
[01:07] <FAJALOU> !compile | sebastian
[01:07] <Swarmp> When I install the latest updates ? The newest Gnome Desktop will be updated in the package aswell?
[01:08] <Swarmp> I have The latest 8.04 Ubuntu.
[01:08] <gnuB_Chris> rvtcat:  lsb_release -a
[01:09] <ScottWegner> Swarmp: What exactly are you looking for when you say "newest Gnome Desktop"?  If you run the update manager, *all* package updates will be installed, including updates to the desktop environment
[01:09] <isor> sebastian_, why do you want icecat if you don't like firefox try opera or Galeon Web Browser
[01:09] <Swarmp> ScottWegner : I am refering to the latest Gnome Desktop Envioment, if there's any latest than that I got on my Ubuntu 8.04.
[01:09] <CosaRicanQuaker> isor: it's free
[01:10] <CosaRicanQuaker> isor: richardstallmanlike free
[01:10] <rockyrock> any body guys for the modem help?
[01:10] <isor> CosaRicanQuaker, so is galeon
[01:10] <joustin> anyone know why when I try to upgrade to version 8 it tells me that it cannot read the cd?
[01:10] <CosaRicanQuaker> already got epiphany but dont likeit
[01:10] <ScottWegner> Swarmp: I'm not sure of the specific version of the latest Gnome environment available to Hardy.  However, as long as you install updates the through the Update Manager, then you should automatically receive the latest
[01:11] <RensoreK> Hello Ubuntu users! Would it be possible for me to switch from one distro, to Ubuntu without losing all my data?
[01:11] <isor> cosa try galeon or opera
[01:11] <Xavura> RensoreK: It's as simple as apt-get
[01:11] <Mecha25> rensorek: do you have somewhere to back it up?
[01:11] <Xavura> I think
[01:11] <FAJALOU> RensoreK: is your /home dir in a different partition?
[01:11] <Xavura> RensoreK: I first installed Kubuntu but wanted to try out Ubuntu, so I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and that was it
[01:11] <isor> CosaRicanQuaker, you can get galeon fron add/remove
[01:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: isnt galeon an old version of epiphany?
[01:11] <Mecha25> it depends on what distro, if you're going from Gentoo, then back up and reinstall.  if you're going from Xubuntu, then you can go through Apt-Get and it'll work
[01:12] <FAJALOU> RensoreK: if you put your home directory on  a different partition, it makes it much easier to switch distros or even reinstall, i have done that a few times myself
[01:12] <Xavura> RensoreK: I'm not sure if that applies to more than Ubuntu/Kubuntu
[01:12] <Mecha25> alright, here's a toughie for the room: what's the quickest way to crash an x server
[01:12] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, have no idea
[01:12] <Xavura> Mecha25: Ask it politely?
[01:12] <CostaRicanQuaker> i think it is
[01:12] <FAJALOU> Mecha25: throw it out the window.
[01:12] <RensoreK> I have my current distro backed up on an external USB drive.
[01:12] <RensoreK> And my /home is on a seperate partition already
[01:13] <randal> How do i unignore someone
[01:13] <Mecha25> xavura: hahaha, I need to test whether my new x-server-restart method works.  unfortunately, I've fixed most of the crashes
[01:13] <joustin> When I try to install via the CD it hangs up after it loads the kernal, any suggestions?
[01:13] <RensoreK> But I compiled programs wont work on my new distro, and I would lose a lot of settings right?
[01:13] <FAJALOU> RensoreK: then it is easy to get a new distro, just make sure that you point the distro to your home partition for the home directory and don't format it.
[01:13] <Sebboh> Hi.  What is the Ubuntu equiv of Debian Sid called?
[01:13] <randal> how do i ungnore someone
[01:13] <Mecha25> rensorek, what are you switching from/to?
[01:13] <RensoreK> Mecha25: PCLinuxOS
[01:14] <randal> how do uoi unignore someone
[01:14] <kosmo> #ubuntu-pl
[01:14] <Sebboh> randal, pass an argument to ignore.  /help ignore
[01:14] <Mecha25> Rensorek: from or to?
[01:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> to get rid of konqueror its sudo aptitude remove konqueror-brwoser ?
[01:14] <Lynet> randal: That depends on which irc client you use. /help ignore should give you usfeul information in most clients.
[01:14] <alexunder> that will take you to Bash :D
[01:14] <alexunder> sorry ..
[01:14] <randal> i use xchat?
[01:14] <samalex> hi everyone .. anyone know of a way to install Ubuntu Server 8.04 on a system where the output is sent directly to serial on boot-up from CD?
[01:14] <Matthew12> When I play videos in Totem, everything is a shade of green. VLC works fine. Any ideas?
[01:15] <randal> how do i unignore a person on xchat
[01:15] <alexunder> Settings -> Ignore List
[01:15] <alexunder> :P
[01:15] <Starnestommy> randal: /unignore
[01:15] <samalex> THe server I'm installing is in a rack where there's no video...  I've done this with other distros, but it's been YEARS ago...
[01:15] <Carbon_life> randal, /unignore
[01:15] <isor> joustin, did you try hitting the f6 at boot menu and set it to acpi=off and noacpi
[01:15] <joustin>  negative will try that
[01:15] <Mecha25> rensorek: from ubuntu or to ubuntu?
[01:15] <Mecha25> matthew12: ditch totem?
[01:15] <RensoreK> Mecha25: To ubuntu
[01:15] <Carbon_life> Okay, I have a quick question... my OpenGL libs seem to be fsked. I tried to play the game "SearchAndRescue" . It appears, but then the main window quickly fads away
[01:16] <Carbon_life> All my games are like this
[01:16] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, you can remove it threw the symatic package manager too
[01:16] <Carbon_life> Either that, or they have some weird refresh rate
[01:16] <glitsj16> Matthew12: you'll probably need to experiment with a different video output setting for Totem (the one used in vlc if that's looking good) .. in package gnome-media-common there's a command called gstreamer-properties to do just that
[01:16] <Carbon_life> For example, Xmoto flashes repeatedly
[01:16] <Matthew12> mecha25: I mean, yeah I could do that, I'm just trying to figure as much out as I can
[01:16] <Mecha25> rensorek, then you can install ubuntu to your main partition where pclinuxos is right now, and set it up to automatically add your home partition as /home during the install process
[01:16] <Carbon_life> Any ieas?
[01:16] <Carbon_life> *ideas
[01:16] <Carbon_life> !opengl

[01:17] <travis> gnuB_Chris:I've managed to install the latest driver via envyng
[01:17] <pteeb> anyone know if there is a way to copy your entire ubuntu setup from one harddisk to another?
[01:17] <alexunder> !enter
[01:17] <Mecha25> rensorek: be CAREFUL! though, the first time I tried doing anything other than a default, full-disk install, ubuntu wiped my MBR and I lost everything
[01:17] <Mecha25> then again, that was 2 versions ago
[01:17] <alexunder> !ping
[01:17] <randal> how do i tell who is ignored
[01:17] <ScottWegner> pteeb: if you're comfortable using the command line, you can look into dd
[01:17] <MrCollins> Mecha25 you should backup your MBR.....
[01:17] <travis> gnuB_Chris: everithing works, but still that line
[01:17] <glitsj16> Matthew12: if you have that package, just try running "gstreamer-properties" from terminal
[01:17] <RensoreK> Mecha25: I figured this, but I would lose all the applications I have installed, and their settings. I would only have my /home which contains my personal data files, and certain .dot folders which contain configs right?
[01:17] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: how do i open synaptic as root from the shell?
[01:18] <mkquist> why would i not be able to goto newegg on one of my machines all of the sudden?
[01:18] <Carbon_life> CostaRicanQuaker, gksudo I think
[01:18] <MrCollins> the disc has backup MBR......
[01:18] <Mecha25> mrcollins: this was a year ago, I didn't know what a mbr was
[01:18] <MrCollins> oh

[01:19] <Pici> !ping
[01:19] <alexunder> pici esti din ro ?:D
[01:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: i'm in synaptic, how do i get rid of konqueror from here? it's quite confusing a list of things
[01:19] <Pici> alexunder: Please watch the language in here, there was no need for that.
[01:20] <Pici> alexunder: No, english only.
[01:20] <alexunder> ok
[01:20] <RensoreK> Mecha25: Ok, just wanted to be sure of what I was getting myself into. The reason I went with PCLinuxOS a few months back was the notion GNOME couldnt run KDE applications but KDE could run both :] . But I find Ubuntu community is more active, helpful and nicer and the distro seems to be stable and active. So would a switch be worth it :)
[01:20] <Carbon_life> CostaRicanQuaker, search for konqueror ...
[01:20] <alexunder> Pici: I just copied the bots message
[01:20] <Lynet> randal: http://t0x.in/xchatignore.html
[01:20] <Mecha25> rensorek:  YAY! glad to help convince you
[01:20] <FAJALOU> RensoreK:  def. worth it
[01:21] <alexunder> !help
[01:21] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, search for konqueror via the search option right click it when you find it select complete removal
[01:21] <Pici> alexunder: ah, I see now.
[01:21] <Mecha25> rensorek: and yes, gnome can DEFINITELY run kde apps, it can even theme them to look the same
[01:21] <SixStringer> close synaptic....open a terminal session and sudo apt-get remove konqueror
[01:21] <randal> HOW DO I UNIGNORE A PERSON IM USEING XCHAT
[01:21] <rockyrock> how can i know if ubuntu recognize a hardware piece?
[01:21] <Carbon_life> randal, this is an #ubuntu channel
[01:21] <Blaqlight> SixStringer, you'd probably have better luck using aptitude instead of apt-get.
[01:21] <randal> i know
[01:22] <FAJALOU> !xchat > randal
[01:22] <randal> but i ignored someone
[01:22] <randal> tnow i cant talk to him
[01:22] <corky> what are/is debian's repo?
[01:22] <corky> err.. ubuntu*
[01:22] <ross> how do i get format the appearance of the system?
[01:22] <ross> for example, the font sizes
[01:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: synaptics sorta stuck any way to do it on the shell?
[01:23] <Mecha25> ross:  in your top menu, go to System, Preferences, Appearance
[01:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: looks like i'm going to hve to forcequit
[01:23] <isor> ross, if you mean configure or change go to system>preferences>appearance
[01:23] <Pici> randal: Window>Ignore List
[01:23] <Mecha25> Mecha25: the font tab is what you're looking for I think, there's other stuff there too if you'd like
[01:23] <corky> ross, system then prefences then appearance
[01:23] <RensoreK> Mecha25: One last question, lets say I have Compiz installed on my system, and its config are in .compiz (or where ever). When I convert to Ubuntu and reinstall Compiz (or any app with saved configs in my /home) will it use my previous settings?
[01:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: sudo apt-get remove konqueror-browser ?
[01:24] <Mecha25> rensorek: you might have to import them, and you'll have to make sure you have all the needed plugins, but in theory yes.
[01:24] <Carbon_life> Okay, I have a quick question... my OpenGL libs seem to be fsked. I tried to play the game "SearchAndRescue" . It appears, but then the main window quickly fads away
[01:24] <Mecha25> carbon_life: what do you mean fades?
[01:24] <randal> i still cant find out how to unignore someone
[01:24] <Carbon_life> Erm, let me re-ask that
[01:24] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, sudo apt-get remove konqueror or attitude remove konqueror
[01:24] <Carbon_life> For some reason the game "SearchAndRescue" is fsked. I go to open it, the main window appears for a second or two, then disappears. I think the issue is with OpenGL, because all my games have some problem. For example, XMoto refreshes a lot, and blinks repeatedly.
[01:24] <Pici> randal: Are our suggestions not working?
[01:24] <l815> is there any way to make ubuntu run cooler?
[01:24] <randal> no
[01:24] <ross> perfect, thank you
[01:24] <ross> also
[01:24] <Mecha25> Carbon_life: turn off compiz/desktop effects?
[01:24] <Carbon_life> Mecha25, as in, the window appears, then disappears from view, but it is still in the bottom bar
[01:25] <Mecha25> l815: temperature wise?
[01:25] <randal> i ignore someone on acadent and i dont know how to unignore him
[01:25] <l815> Mecha25, yah
[01:25] <Pici> randal: Do you havev an option in the Window menu for Ignore List?
[01:25] <Mecha25> L815, I have no idea, look for XSensors in synaptic, that might have some info.  sorry, I just thought you were looking for a desktop theme, heh
[01:25] <SirBob1701> so I want to install updates for ion3 from the site.  anyone know good instructions for ion3 on ubuntu?
[01:25] <randal> no i dont
[01:25] <randal> im useing xchat
[01:25] <l815> Mecha25, hehe, thanks anyway :)
[01:25] <RensoreK> Mecha25: Wonderful, then it shouldnt be too much of a problem switching over as I thought :D
[01:26] <Mecha25> rensorek: glad to help
[01:26] <RensoreK> Mecha25: Thanks for your help
[01:26] <Mecha25> carbon_life: turn off desktop effects, and see if it fixes it, mine had stuff like that for a while too
[01:26] <Pici> randal: Looks like theres no graphical way to do it, /unigore   should work though
[01:26] <Carbon_life> Mecha25, how so? (do I turn it off)
[01:27] <Mecha25> go to System, Preferences, Appearance, in your top menu
[01:27] <alexunder> Pici
[01:27] <alexunder> there is
[01:27] <Carbon_life> Ok
[01:27] <alexunder> in Settings
[01:27] <randal> how do you spell unignore
[01:27] <Mecha25> then go to the Visual Effects tab and select none
[01:27] <alexunder> there is Ignore List...
[01:27] <randal> tdid i spell it right
[01:27] <Mecha25> randal: you just did
[01:27] <Pici> alexunder: Doesnt look like there is on in xchat-gnome
[01:27] <alexunder> :-??
[01:27] <alexunder> i use it on KDE:D
[01:27] <alexunder> oh sorry
[01:28] <alexunder> in the Window Tab
[01:28] <alexunder> :D
[01:28] <randal> hes still ignore
[01:28] <Johnny> day one : did absolutely nothing
[01:28] <Lynet> randal: Have you already tried /unignore nickname and /ignore -r nickname?
[01:28] <Carbon_life> Mecha25, cool, that worked. Thanks
[01:28] <Mecha25> carbon_life: no problem
[01:28] <alexunder> Pici: Window -> Ignore List...
[01:28] <randal> i tried / unignore aluxunder
[01:28] <Bidget> is anyone in here using xchat? I just have a question about joining another network sorry if its off topic but I think its a pretty quick answer
[01:28] <Pici> randal: You need to spell the nick correctly
[01:28] <SixStringer> does /help list anything for you randal?
[01:29] <Mecha25> randal: ask about it in #xchat
[01:29] <l815> is there a way to control the speed of laptop fans?

[01:32] <alexunder> hey.. what uptime do you usually have in ubuntu ?:D
[01:32] <Agu10> could u help me?
[01:32] <blah_blah> ...
[01:32] <Pici> Agu10: Just ask
[01:32] <ScottWegner> pteeb: Rather than copying your entire installation, you're better off copying just your /home directory.  This is because many settings are hardware-specific, and might not be compatible on different machines
[01:32] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: And if it doesn't? It never has before... It's not an OEM version of XP, it's some Emachines version, doesn't always act normal
[01:32] <david123> FAJALOU: he he its a saying i mean i can't just get xfce and the window managers?
[01:32] <Agu10> Pici: i have already asked
[01:32] <SixStringer> ...
[01:32] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: you can try mounting it, there's a command
[01:32] <Mecha25> one sec
[01:33] <bobertdos> david123: Yes, install xubuntu-desktop using the terminal or Synaptic.
[01:33] <pteeb> ScottWegner, good point. i'll have to just reconfigure everytrhing :'( poopie
[01:33] <FAJALOU> david123: i wouldn't think so but you could try and give us the results :D
[01:33] <FAJALOU> bobertdos: but that would install a bunch of programs too
[01:33] <Agu10> i think my palm only hot syncs in windows
[01:33] <david123> bobertdos: yeah and all the programs came with
[01:33] <ScottWegner> pteeb: You could boot from the LiveCD on your laptop, use the Partition Editor to create your partition layout (with /home on a separate partition), and then copy the /home data from your other computer
[01:33] <Agu10> because i tried with all the usb ports
[01:33] <Agu10> and nothing
[01:34] <david123> bobertdos: does xfce really use less resources?
[01:34] <CTho> how do I get my microphone working?
[01:34] <ScottWegner> pteeb: many programs will store their configuration files in your home directory, and those configuration files can generally be reused
[01:34] <l815> david123, I'd say yes from my own experience
[01:34] <rvtcadmin> Pici, thanks also.  didn't see you there
[01:34] <bobbob1016> I'm sharing a folder via samba to an OSX leopard machine, and it says I don't have permissions to some folders in the share.  I did "sudo chmod -R 777 *" in that folder, and it didn't work, I tried chown, and it said I don't have permissions to change owner, with sudo.
[01:34] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: look in /mnt, there should be a bunch of folders in there, you want either hda or sda, or possibly hdb or sdb.  Anyone know which?  you'll know it because the right one will give you the contents of the drive you want
[01:34] <Logrusmage> Hey everyone, can anyone help me get my MythTV set up? I'm having a serious issue. It's not connecting to the mysql server. No idea what's wrong... any ideas?
[01:34] <david123> l815: yes to what and how?
[01:34] <akatsuki> hello, its possible to have ff version 2.0 and 3.0 at the same time? i need 2.0.. and beat come 3.0 come by default
[01:34] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Alright, thanks, I'll try that, brb
[01:34] <Agu10> how do i connect my palm into ubuntu?
[01:35] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: are u trying to add a second frontend
[01:35] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: scratch that, look in /media
[01:35] <Pici> Agu10: Have you seen this? http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB
[01:35] <daxroc> Evening all
[01:35] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: or did u change the mysql ip from <IP_ADDRESS> to something else?
[01:35] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Ok, will do :P
[01:35] <bobertdos> david123: The simplest answer is yes, because the desktop environment is not graphically intensive as Gnome or KDE. A lot of it has to do with the amount of RAM used.
[01:35] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: I literally just installed it.
[01:35] <daxroc> Any one know a solution to the newer sony laptop brightness issue with nvidia 8 series cards ?
[01:36] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  so, what does it say in the mythbackend about the host ip addresses
 so no
[01:36] <david123> bobertdos: i get it so... even a complicated wallpaper uses lots of ram?
[01:36] <Ben> Can somebody point me to a FAQ or something that explains setting up swapping files between a Windows host and an Ubuntu virtual machine (VMware)? It's driving me up the wall
[01:36] <FAJALOU> !samba | Ben
[01:36] <akatsuki> hello, its possible to have ff version 2.0 and 3.0 at the same time? i need 2.0.. and beat come 3.0 come by default
[01:37] <starchild> i have a drive with an oem copy of windows on it that i'm trying to load in another computer but i cant get it to mount in ubuntu since this isnt the drives original computer, any suggestions?
[01:37] <Mecha25> ben: what VM software are you using?
[01:37] <l815> david123,  well for one, Xfce is built to be lightweight
[01:37] <bobertdos> akatsuki: I suppose you could install FF 2 using Mozilla's version. That way, it would sit separately in the opt directory. May I ask why you need version 2?
[01:37] <ScottWegner> Is there any command to pipe terminal output to the GNOME clipboard?
[01:37] <l815> david123,  and doesnt require compiz for basic effects like dropshadow and transparency
[01:37] <david123> l815: do you know how i can install it without the programs?
[01:37] <Mecha25> starchild: whatever timsandtoms gets working, should work for you, I suggest looking in /media, that's where I found mine
[01:37] <SixStringer> You should be able to set up a share in your VM and map to it from Windows.
[01:37] <bobertdos> david123: Yep
[01:37] <Ben> Mecha25: WMware Workstation 6. I've heard a bit about Samba, I just need to know how to connect my 'real' HDD and the Ubuntu virtual one with it
[01:37] <l815> david123,  from Ubuntu?
 no idea =/  Whenever I start the backend setup it gives me a "No upnp backends found". I go through the setupd process (changing nothing) and it gives me "Cannot log into server?"
 yes
[01:38] <qmr> Ben: have you used virtualbox?  I prefer it to vmware
[01:38] <l815> david123,  you can run "sudo aptitude install xfce-core", although it might not be as pretty because it's vanilla
[01:38] <Mecha25> ben: google "vmware Workstation samba share"
[01:38] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost:  no idea =/  Whenever I start the backend setup it gives me a "No upnp backends found". I go through the setupd process (changing nothing) and it gives me "Cannot log into server?"
  Something like kompozer but that works correct
[01:38] <akatsuki> because im taking an online class which the site does not support 3.0 but just 1 and 2
[01:38] <l815> david123, vanilla meaning it is xfce as it was built, without xubuntu's modifications
[01:38] <Mecha25> grendal_prime: there's always vim, hehehehe
[01:39] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=726680
[01:39] <bobertdos> akatsuki: I see, well in that case, yes, I would get an old version from Mozilla and install it to opt.
 what were xubuntu's modifications
[01:39] <Agu10> this is a shit
[01:39] <ericX> grendal try eclipse
[01:39] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: looks like first u need to confirm mysql is running
[01:39] <Mecha25> !language | Agu10
[01:39] <FAJALOU> !language > Agu10
[01:40] <Agu10> i can not make hot-sync to work in ubuntu with my palm
[01:40] <grendal_prime> vim...christ
[01:40] <Mecha25> sorry agu10, double duty
[01:40] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: can do, one sec
[01:40] <ericX> I am developing Joomla apps with PHP, and I use eclipse with phpeclipse
[01:40] <ericX> its okay
[01:40] <Mecha25> grendal_prime: or gedit if you're feeling easy
[01:40] <l815> david123, basic ones, like panel setup, and some applications
[01:40] <akatsuki> thx bobertdos
[01:41] <l815> david123, by all means install it and give it a shot, you can always remove it if you don't like :)
[01:41] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: ran the command he ran... not getting anything back, just the carrot...
[01:41] <grendal_prime> gedit..? i need something that gives me betther layout tools...i suck already at layout..
[01:41] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Actually, just found it in Computer under Places xD Figures, it had to be easy. Any idea where windows stores the firefox bookmarks?
[01:41] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  do /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[01:41] <Agu10> is there a way to connect the palm to the pc?
[01:41] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: one sec, I can give you an exact path
[01:41] <FAJALOU> timsandtoms: prolly in documents and settings
[01:41] <ericX> grendal_prime: you can't really do a wyswig and php at the same time
[01:41] <bobertdos> akatsuki: You're welcome
[01:41] <ericX> even in dreamweaver it was eh
[01:41] <boxy> if i have an app in /etc/application/app and i run it in that dir by ./app , how can I make it so that I can make that a "system" command and just run it as app in any directory, kind of like regular commands like apt-get,lcoate etc
[01:41] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: can do
[01:41] <Mecha25> grendal_prime: then it's either phpeclipse, vim, or emacs
 i did and removed but now it gives me updates and when i removed it via terminal all the programs were still there
[01:42] <Agu10> !es Mecha25
[01:42] <Agu10> !es | Mecha25
[01:42] <l815> david123, did you use apt-get or aptitude?
[01:42] <ScottWegner> boxy: Applications shouldn't be installed in /etc.  Rather, /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
[01:42] <ericX> grendal_prime you need to just setup your lamp environment and then check against the browser:
[01:42] <bobertdos> boxy: You would add the directory your application is in to the PATH variable.
[01:42] <Pupbuntu> hi, when i type "vncserver", it says it is starting one on :1, then :2, etc., but no vnc processes are actually running and (ergo) i cannot connect... any idea how to debug? the log seems empty
[01:42] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: done
[01:43] <Ben> Thanks for the advice Mecha25. qmr, I looked around before deciding on VMware, the tendency was toward preferring it over virtualbox. I'm still looking though, why would you recommend Virtualbox?
[01:43] <ericX> or build it in html then throw the PHP in later, there are alternate froms of control statements and stuff that make it better to stick php into an html designed page
[01:43] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  and u had no errors restarting it
[01:43] <boxy> bobertdos how would i do that?
[01:43] <ericX> or you can look into a template system
[01:43] <Ben> Thanks for the advice Mecha25. qmr, I looked around before deciding on VMware, the tendency was toward preferring it over virtualbox. I'm still looking though, why would you recommend Virtualbox?
[01:43] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: nope
[01:43] <boxy> ScottWegner ok thanks for that tip ill move it
 didn't know it makes a difference i always use apt-get
[01:43] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: one thing I would do as well is edit the /etc/my.cnf file and comment out the line that says bind address <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:43] <kernel_ghost> then restart mysql
[01:43] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: sorry, what version of windows and firefox are you running?
[01:44] <ericX> grendal: developing php+html is like python+glide
[01:44] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: it'll depend on that
[01:44] <ericX> not like VB
[01:44] <Mecha25> Agu10: haha.
[01:44] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: WinXP SP2, Firefox 2something
[01:44] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: Ah, looking back I think I may have gotten an error
[01:44] <ericX> I have never found a good app where you can do PHP code and web page layout at the same time
[01:44] <l815> david123, i thought so too, but I've heard aptitude keeps better track of installs compared to apt-get
[01:44] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: great, I'm running Firefox3 on vista... this could be tough
[01:44] <bobertdos> boxy: Ubuntu has a very easy way of doing this.  /etc/environment is a special file Ubuntu has that allows a user to customize the user's PATH.

[01:44] <Agu10> !flood

[01:45] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Ah, ok, will do :) Thanks for the help

[01:45] <FAJALOU> !patience > Agu10
[01:45] <Mecha25> Agu10: sorry, nobody here knows the answer, we would help if we knew

[01:45] <Mecha25> Mecha25: my last palm pilot was a z22, it got stolen before I got ubuntu
[01:46] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Ok, got it :D Thanks!
[01:46] <Mecha25> Agu10: my last palm pilot was a z22, it got stolen before I got ubuntu
[01:46] <Mecha25> d'oh
[01:46] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: can't seem to find the file =/
[01:46] <bobertdos>  boxy: you're welcome
[01:46] <Agu10> oh
[01:46] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: no problem
[01:46] <ericX> so my question for the night: I have a cavalry external drive with ntfs and ubuntu randomly will unmount the drive, like even if I am reading from the drive. I am often watching movies or copying files and the drive will just disappear, and unplugging/plugging does not bring it back, I have to reboot. So my question is, why is it randomly like spinning down or unmounting for other reasons, and how can I stop it? (Ubuntu 8.04 with laptop
[01:46] <ericX> mode enabled)
[01:46] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: sorry /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[01:46] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: nvrmnd it was in the mysql folder
[01:46] <MXIIA> http://i37.tinypic.com/2w737k1.jpg best wallpaper ever!
[01:47] <Mecha25> Agu10: you can search the ubuntu forums while you wait: http://ubuntuforums.org/
[01:47] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: delete the whole bind: line?
[01:47] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: dont delete, comment
[01:48] <Agu10> Mecha25: i have already searched for my problem
[01:48] <persian_x> can anyone help me with ALSA? I just did a partial upgrade and i dont have anymore sound.. please anyone?
[01:48] <Agu10> but i get no too much solutions
[01:48] <Mecha25> Agu10: I know how it is, it took me literally 3 weeks of tinkering to get dual monitors on my ATI card in ubuntu, keep at it, I now have it working and it's amazing, I guarantee you will too eventually
[01:48] <dread> has anyone tried to run the storm botnet app (game0.exe, game1.exe, game2.exe, game3.exe, game4.exe, game5.exe) under wine or crossover?
[01:49] <persian_x> can anyone help me with ALSA? I just did a partial upgrade and i dont have anymore sound
[01:49] <amirman> ok, this is weird, i hooked up my 320 GB drive to my wireless modem through the networkable enclosure and it's on and everything but i have no idea how to see it or find it from my laptop.
[01:49] <ericX> any help with my previous question on the randomly unmounting usb drives?
[01:49] <bogeyman> got a ? can the remote desktop viewer view windows pcs?
[01:49] <randal> I NEED SOME HELP GETING MY VID CARD WORKING
[01:49] <Mecha25> persian_x, what do you mean partial downgrade?
[01:49] <persian_x> partial upgrade
[01:49] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: when I open the file with gedit its blank... I assume I'm doing something wrong?
[01:49] <persian_x> by update manager
[01:49] <bogeyman> like a windows server pc that uses remote desktop
[01:49] <ericX> amirman you hooked it up through ethernet?
[01:49] <Blaqlight> bogeyman, yes
[01:49] <persian_x> it asked me to do a partial upgrade
[01:50] <persian_x> and i did
[01:50] <ScottWegner> bogeyman: On Windows, you can set up either VNC or Windows Remote Desktop.
[01:50] <bogeyman> k i tried port for it and it wont load
[01:50] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  well, i'd get on the terminal and do sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[01:50] <randal> i have a old video card i dont know how to get it working
[01:50] <Mecha25> persian_x:... that's odd, I've never heard of a partial upgrade
[01:50] <amirman> ericX, the drive it hooked up via ethernet cable to my wireless router
[01:50] <Blaqlight> windows remote desktop is only available in windows professional.
[01:50] <Agu10> Mecha25: u have 2 monitors with ati working. but do u have compiz enabled?
[01:50] <bogeyman> but i want to view the remote desktop on ubuntu
[01:50] <ericX> okay, well go to the Places -> Network
[01:50] <Blaqlight> or higher. xp home and lower is without.
[01:50] <Mecha25> Agu10: that was the tough part, and yes!!! :D
[01:50] <ericX> your drive is probably running SMB
[01:50] <randal> anyone i need help geting my vid card working
[01:50] <bogeyman> i got a server running win2k3
[01:50] <ericX> what model is it?
[01:51] <bogeyman> i need to use remote desktop viewer or something to view it from ubuntu
[01:51] <bogeyman> how cna i view it on ubuntu is my ?
[01:51] <Agu10> Mecha25: how do u do it? how did u enable compiz and use dual monitors with ati?
[01:51] <ScottWegner> bogeyman: your best bet is to set up a VNC server on the Windows machine (search for ultravnc to install on Windows).  Once that is up and running, you can use Remote Desktop Viewer under Ubuntu to connect
[01:51] <Agu10> Mecha25: i have an ati too, and two monitors
[01:51] <Blaqlight> bogeyman, there are several... tight VNC
[01:51] <persian_x> can anyone help me with ALSA? I just did a partial upgrade and i dont have anymore sound.. please anyone?
[01:51] <Agu10> Mecha25: could u help me?
[01:51] <amirman> ericX: smb sounds right because if i go to places then network, the windows network i arrive at smb:// but it wont even let me create a folder there
[01:52] <Mecha25> Agu10:  Like I said, 3 weeks of breaking /etc/X11/xorg.conf in every way possibly imagineable, a full reinstall, and finally just some plain luck
[01:52] <ericX> it should list some computers
[01:52] <randal> i need some help with my video card
[01:52] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: ok, done
[01:52] <ericX> you can check to see if the drive has an IP in your wireless routers configuration, check the dhcp pool
[01:52] <Mecha25> Agu10: the best I can offer is my xorg.conf, I still don't know how I really did it
[01:52] <randal> can anyone help with my old nivida video card
[01:52] <Agu10> Mecha25: don't u see everything white in your desktop?
[01:52] <ericX> then you can navigate to it as the path in nautilus
[01:52] <amirman> ericX: how do i do that?
[01:52] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: try again now
[01:52] <FAJALOU> randal:  i have a GeForce 6200?
[01:52] <Agu10> well, send me your xorg.conf
[01:53] <Agu10> i will try it
[01:53] <amirman> ericX: how do i find the ip address for the drive?
[01:53] <ericX> you never had to setup your wireless rotuer, depends on the model
[01:53] <Mecha25> Agu10: one second, I'll send you a link, it's too long to type in, and I'll only send you the parts you need
[01:53] <qiukun> 有人用horde吗？
[01:53] <ericX> well, there should be a page in the web admin for the router that shows which dhcp addresses are assigned
[01:53] <ericX> hopefully you know which ones are for your other pcs and devices, see if there is a new one
[01:53] <Agu10> Mecha25: ok
[01:53] <amirman> ericX: oh yes, i know where that is thanks, i'll be back i'm sure
[01:53] <ericX> that way we know it is connected to the network
[01:53] <Mecha25> Agu10: first off, you need to install ATI Catalyst Control from Add/Remove programs
[01:54] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: same thing happens...
[01:55] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: ok, did u add the myth packages to an existing ubuntu install, or did u use mythbuntu
[01:55] <ericX> so anyone can provide help with my randomly unmounting usb drive, it always auto-remounts with a new path too
[01:55] <ericX> or better yet can someone just explain to me where the automounting magic takes places in ubuntu/gnome
[01:55] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: added em
[01:55] <bobertdos> randal: You can't display anything at all with it?
[01:56] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  can i ask the exact command u used to install
[01:56] <Agu10> Mecha25: ok, now what
[01:56] <amirman> ericX: it's not in my dhcp client list because it's not connected wirelessly, it's connected with a lan cable, where should i look to find the ip for it?
[01:56] <Mecha25> Agu10: I'm putting together the sections of the xorg.conf that you will need, give me a bit
[01:56] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: sudo apt-get install mythtv
[01:57] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  ok, do this
[01:57] <Agu10> ok
[01:57] <ericX> well if its connected with a cable, it should still get an address from dhcp
[01:57] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  sudo apt-get install myth*
[01:57] <ericX> dhcp does not correlate directly to wireless
[01:57] <ericX> if your router and modem one box?
[01:57] <bbarton> can someone help a full blodded linux noob install a program??
[01:58] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: this is gonna take awhile... heh...
[01:58] <Blaqlight> bbarton, whats the problem
[01:58] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  it may, shouldnt be too bad but
[01:58] <Agu10> Mecha25: how are u sending it to me
[01:58] <pvl1> any ati bigdesktop users?
[01:58] <bbarton> trying to install google earth... have no idia how to install bins lol
[01:58] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: its reading at half an hour right now, not so bad.
[01:58] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: for the record mythbuntu is an excellent distro for making this a little easier those guys have done a wonderful job on it
[01:58] <amirman> ericX: my wireless router is connected to my modem, it's not the same unit
[01:59] <venger> anyone know if there's a pre <IP_ADDRESS> version of flashplayer (if i have the versioning right) ?  while flash 10 beta is better framerates i still experience screen tearing .  tried nvidia-settings toggle v-sync etc with no luck
[01:59] <Blaqlight> bbarton, I believe you have to change it to executable first.
[01:59] <Lynet> amirman: Did the enclosure have any kind of documentation?
[01:59] <bbarton> still lost blaqlight
[01:59] <Mecha25> Agu10: through pastebin, it'll be a link, sorry this is taking so long
[01:59] <ericX> okay, so router has  a port connected to the modem, the rest of the ports are on the same lan segment as your wireless (same network)
[02:00] <whileimhere> Is there a channel for wireless issues on ubuntu?
[02:00] <Agu10> ok
[02:00] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: unfortunately, I have a lot on this sytem I don't want to lose, and not nearly enough space/time to back it all up. Are you saying I should make a sperate partition just for mythtv?
[02:00] <ericX> amirman are you using a home made thing or a commerical nas?
[02:00] <amirman> Lynet: i bought it secondhand off of ebay, i think i can find documentation online though, i just thought there may be something simple to it that i'm missing
[02:00] <Blaqlight> I have to see what the site you downloaded the program says you should do
[02:00] <qfour20> Hi everybody.  I have a thinkpad that had been working quite well until very recently.  Now, for some reason, the wireless no longer works on her.  When I do "iwconfig" it says "no wireless extensions" on all the interfaces it shows, none of which are the actual wireless adapter.  Also, dmesg tells me that the airo driver was loaded.  What am I missing here?
[02:00] <bbarton> i have been a win user for 15 yrs...... it's like switching from cigarrettes to clean air lol
[02:00] <bobertdos> whileimhere: I'm not aware of a particular channel. We're more than happy to help with wireless here. What can we do for you?
[02:00] <amirman> ericX: what's nas?
[02:01] <reind> I have an intel g35 chipset based mb (asus p5evm-hdmi) and ive connected it to my lcd, but i cant get it to work at my tvs native res 1366x768. I've added this to xorg.conf but when i start gnome it goes to 1280x720 (which doesnt display properly). If I use the vga (rather than hdmi) port it works correctly though, any ideas?
[02:01] <ericX> network attached storage
[02:01] <ericX> who makes your box
[02:01] <amirman> ericX: it's commercial
[02:01] <ericX> name?
[02:01] <Mecha25> Agu10: ok, here you go
[02:01] <ericX> wordlbook, iomega?
[02:01] <whileimhere> My friend has a new Dell XPS m1530 laptop. Its really sweet but we cannot get the wireless to work on it. I cannot seem to find an inf for the NDISwrapper so I cannot even do that.
[02:01] <Mecha25> http://paste.ubuntu.com/27380/
[02:01] <bbarton> the site doesn't give any install info..
[02:02] <utarpradesh> how do I enable Webcam Functionality  in Ubuntu??? what drivers do I need to search for and download in Synaptic??
[02:02] <Blaqlight> bbarton, it does. I used it too install it before. hang on
[02:02] <Mecha25> Agu10: that is NOT a complete xorg.conf, you need to merge those sections with your current ones.  if you need help, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste in the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:02] <bbarton> ii tried this: chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[02:03] <bbarton> it says file not found...
[02:03] <amirman> ericX: i had to do some maneuvering to get to it behind the chair, NetDisk NDAS , ND series
[02:03] <Agu10> ok, Mecha25
[02:03] <venger> reind, did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if DPMS output still showed that was a valid resolution?
[02:03] <Ganandorf> hi guys i recently installed ubuntu 8.04 64bit on my 320 gig hard drive but having a hard time configuring the graphics for compiz fusion
[02:03] <Ganandorf> how do i enable it
[02:03] <oobe> utarpradesh, i dont know much about webcams but if its a usb one the you probably need to have it plugged in at boot
[02:03] <ericX> http://www.ximeta.com/web/technology/ndas/technologie10_en.php
[02:03] <bpmarkham> can anyone help me with a podencoder issue?
[02:04] <AbstortedMinds> is it recommended to install apache from apt-get install apache2 or should i do dpkg
[02:04] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: no not at all
[02:04] <Blaqlight> bbarton, then try sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[02:04] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: just saying if u deploy more front ends etc, mythbuntu should be considered
[02:04] <AbstortedMinds> and whats the difference between dpkg and apt-get and aptitude install
[02:04] <utarpradesh> oobe: it is plugged in
[02:04] <utarpradesh> always
[02:04] <Johnny> how do i get a performance desklet working?
[02:04] <oobe> utarpradesh, and you should also check /var/log/messages dmesg lsmod to see if already has been detected and just not configured
[02:04] <ericX> that is the site, it either has to have a dhcp client or a default static ip
[02:04] <Johnny> or whats the name of one
[02:04] <Blaqlight> you should get a dialog about some legal stuff if it runs.
[02:04] <ericX> there would be no other way to access and work with it
[02:05] <Dedi> anyone here got a "nv"-driver multi screen xorg.conf?
[02:05] <bbarton> Blaqlight : says command not found..
[02:05] <amirman> ericX: so what can i do? how can i give it a static ip?
[02:05] <oobe> utarpradesh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[02:05] <DarkAudit> Johnny: what are you wanting to monitor?
[02:05] <bobertdos> whileimhere: You know, for most of the installers, the files get extracted to a temporary directory. So technically, it would probably be possible to find the inf.
[02:05] <digitalsky> hi everyone
[02:05] <amirman> ericX: or does it already have one?
[02:06] <ericX> I am not sure, my guess is it should be trying to connect with dhcp
[02:06] <huba1> Anyone with thinkpad T61 here?
[02:06] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: ah, thanks. Well I guess I gotta wait for my DL to finish.
[02:06] <Ganandorf> in appearance i choose extra but it tells me to enable nvidia accelerated graphics driver latest cards
[02:06] <ericX> are you sure you didn't see it assign an address?
[02:06] <digitalsky> I'm hoping to get some help on setting up my ubuntu 8.04 server w/ apache2 as a proxy
[02:06] <Johnny> cpu performance , disk space, wireless etc
[02:06] <purplestar> hi
[02:06] <purplestar> how can I play this website video using Hardy? http://news.ninemsn.com.au/livestreaming/sydney/
[02:06] <bazz> the current behaviour of any of my (gtk) filechooser widgets is that when i type a "~" it turns into [myname]/  this is wrong,  it should be /home/[myname]   any way to fix this?
[02:06] <utarpradesh> thanks oobe
[02:06] <Johnny> also what is that clock desklet called
[02:06] <Ganandorf> but when i do my screen resolution goes down to 620 * 680
[02:06] <amirman> ericX: it wasn't showing on the dhcp client list on my router
[02:06] <Ganandorf> and cant go any higher
[02:06] <oobe> utarpradesh,  took me 3 secs to find in google
[02:06] <qfour20> huba1: I have a T40
[02:06] <bpmarkham> can anyone help me with a podencoder issue?
[02:06] <Dedi> huba1: hehe yeah since 3 days :D
[02:06] <digitalsky> the proxy works but i sometimes get outdated pages. does anyone know why that might be? ( I only have mod_proxy and not the cache stuff)
[02:06] <purplestar> it says Silverlight and Windows Media player.  Any way to play it using Firefox in Hardy?
[02:07] <ericX> then this is not like a linux thing, its not getting an IP, you gotta check the manual for the box on this
[02:07] <whileimhere> bobertdos: I have tried that from dells official download and everything was cryptic and made no sense as far as file names.
[02:07] <ericX> sorry, can't do much more than that from here
[02:07] <DarkAudit> Johnny: I use screenlets ('cause gdesklets doesn't work in 64-bit) and use the watermark screenlet... it can monitor just about all of those
[02:07] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: yes, for now u wait :)
[02:07] <huba1> hmm, how is your thinkpad wireless treat you?
[02:07] <amirman> ericX: thanks anyway
[02:07] <randal> fajalou
[02:07] <Blaqlight> bbarton, Im sorry its taking so long my connection is slow :(
[02:07] <huba1> Mine seems choppy at times, disconnect me for no reason.
[02:07] <WalloO> bpmarkham, you want to encode video for ipod?
[02:07] <Johnny> sorry im new to this DarkAudit i dont really understand
[02:07] <bigbadjesus__> i cant get mine to work at all using ndiswrapper
[02:07] <oobe> purplestar, looks like you just need the flashplugin non free
[02:07] <randal> FAJALOU
[02:08] <gregbrady> how to install kde 4 on ubuntu?
[02:08] <oobe> purplestar, aptitude  search flash
[02:08] <huba1> purplestar: I can play it just fine
[02:08] <bigbadjesus__> i have intel 3945
[02:08] <Johnny> i've installed screenlets DarkAudit
[02:08] <qfour20> huba1: wireless was flawless for about a year with gentoo, debian and ubuntu
[02:08] <DarkAudit> I set one for CPU, another for memory, another for network throughput, rinse, repeat
[02:08] <CTho> http://pastebin.com/m3397fdf4 why is this mount failing?
[02:08] <Dedi> huba1: it works fine under linux but had big problems with vista today
[02:08] <qfour20> huba1: then about a week ago, it stopped altogether
[02:08] <bpmarkham> WalloO: yes i'm having issues with podencoder. i've tried mp4ize but i like how podencoder formats the output. how can you help me?
[02:08] <bigbadjesus__> what driver do you use qfour20?
[02:08] <Johnny> how do i get it working
[02:08] <randal> FAJALOU
[02:08] <bobertdos> whileimhere: I suppose if I switched to Windows, I could help you take a look. Ndiswrapper is really the only way to handle this.
[02:08] <qfour20> bigbadjesus__: I was using airo
[02:08] <purplestar> oobe: ok
[02:08] <qfour20> bigbadjesus__: dmesg still says that airo loaded
[02:08] <Blaqlight> bbarton, here http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=44713&src=top5&lev=topic
[02:08] <qfour20> bigbadjesus__: but the device is no longer there
[02:09] <purplestar> huba1: how does it play for you?  theres no video playing till later LOL
[02:09] <purplestar> huba1: you were caught lying
[02:09] <bpmarkham> @ WalloO or do you have another suggestion?
[02:09] <whileimhere> bobertdos: That is cool but you dont need to. I need a break from this thing anyways.
[02:09] <oobe> CTho, looks like you need to boot into windows and shutdown again
[02:09] <WalloO> bpmarkham, I use this way of doing: http://computersstoneage.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-convert-your-video-to-work-on.html
[02:09] <purplestar> huba1: its a live NEWS streaming, and it hasnt started yet!  its BLANK no video is streaming yet! you were just BUSTED LYING :(
[02:09] <CTho> oobe: the laptop this drive came from is dead dead dead
[02:09] <whileimhere> bobertdos I will try downloading it again and looking.
[02:09] <gregbrady> anyone?  kde install?  sorry for asking.
[02:09] <CTho> oobe: turns out i needed to add -o force
[02:10] <bobertdos> whileimhere: alright, PM me if you change your mind
[02:10] <oobe> CTho, cool
[02:10] <huba1> purplestar: well, at least my windows media player addon works.
 purplestar: I can play it just fine <--- thats impossible as the live news streaming hasnt began yet!  LIAR :(
[02:10] <huba1> purplestar: I thought that is what you wanted to know.]
[02:10] <whileimhere> bobertdos thanks cool
[02:10] <DarkAudit> Johnny: get the screenlet package from the Intrepid repo... the Hardy one is old and buggy...
[02:10] <WalloO> Johnny, have you used WaterMark screenlet?
[02:10] <bbarton> Blaqlight: Thanks I'll try that out
[02:10] <purplestar> huba1: realise this.. if you lie you will always get busted, sooner or later
[02:10] <bpmarkham> @ WalloO Thanks! i'll give it a shot!
[02:10] <gregbrady> ok, thanks....
[02:10] <mikexstudios> Hi all, I'm trying to execute this python script by having the shebang line call the python interpreter (with -u argument to python, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/27384/). However, I get the error message: "/usr/bin/env: python -u: No such file or directory". Is there a way around this? (Note that I need to use env to invoke python.)
[02:10] <huba1> damn what an ass.
[02:11] <DarkAudit> There's a link to the Watermark screenlet on the screenlet home page
[02:11] <oobe> what a rude man purplestar was

[02:11] <Johnny> im not quite sure how to work them
[02:11] <DarkAudit> bloodrock: I went through the web site :)
[02:11] <Johnny> DarkAudit, i got the gutsy one
[02:11] <mikexstudios> To clarify, I somehow need to get linux to parse the shebang line as: #!"/usr/bin/env python" -u instead of #!/usr/bin/env "python -u"
[02:11] <Johnny> is there already a new distro
[02:12] <WalloO> Johnny, I coded watermark screenlet. If you want to try it... :)  http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960

[02:35] <randal> WalloO:  you there
[02:35] <WalloO> randal, in section device, do you have a line:   Driver		"nvidia"  ?
[02:35] <gnuB_Chris> you might look for forums specific to that card
[02:35] <bobertdos> puller: Somehow, we'll have to muck our way through Dell's installer to find the inf file it extracts to the temporary directory.

[02:36] <CaptainMorgan> I just saw on distrowatch that 8.10 Alpha 2 is already released.... crazy! now, I run a server for my current 8.04, does this mean I am supported for the next five years with only 8.04? or can I upgrade to 8.10 and still retain the LTS 5 year support plan?
[02:36] <hmuller> CaptainMorgan:  Keep drinking the rum and wait for Alpha 3
[02:36] <Dr_willis_> tv out on an nvidia cards. - ive found it deopends on the cards. with some of my systems one had to have the TV (svideo) plugged in to the tv. when the system booted. and the card would default to cloning to the tv. (which was handy) with some other cards I had to use twinview to tell it to clone tv/monitor
[02:36] <arvind_khadri> CaptainMorgan, :P nope
[02:36] <bobertdos>  puller: yes I am
[02:36] <Pici> CaptainMorgan: Yes, 5 years for 8.04, but by the time the support runs out, a new LTS will be out.
[02:36] <puller> bobertdos: great thamks
[02:36] <CaptainMorgan> arvind_khadri, so I need to keep the server at 8.04 ?
[02:37] <bobertdos>  puller: except I'm not in Windows at the moment :D
[02:37] <fank> is there any way to find this out? i can't find anything nvidia related in terms of preferences. nothing like the screen that you can see on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors
[02:37] <CaptainMorgan> yea, cool Pici  thanks!
[02:37] <arvind_khadri> CaptainMorgan, ya if you want support for 5 yers

[02:38] <gnuB_Chris> fank: look at Dr_willis_ post at 20:36.  he posted something about tv outs on nvidia
[02:38] <randal> WalloO: so now what
[02:38] <bobertdos> puller: because I want to help search through the installer files to help you find the inf you need.
