[05:26] <keith-> can i make totem not open when i insert a dvd?
[05:26] <oldude67> it fixed mine
[05:26] <musikgoat> Eisenheim: you'd have to be able to ping your router if you can get to google
[05:27] <slyboots> ... Right..
[05:27] <oldude67> and it did the same thing
[05:27] <lolface> erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51987/
[05:27] <bulmer> pavan there you go, move to a diff channel
[05:27] <slyboots> Okay, well it did not help this time Im afraid
[05:27] <Eisenheim> thats what im not understanding
[05:27] <Eisenheim> my head is going to blow
[05:27] <_nix_> musikgoat: I cant ping my router even though I can open google
[05:27] <pavan> bulmer.. that makes sense.. will try it out..
[05:27] <burner> keith: system -> preferences -> removable drives and media

[05:29] <pavan> agent_bob.. i have the following when i run alsamixer in the console..
[05:29] <Agent_bob> MGalaxy it's probably what failed.
[05:29] <pavan> bulmer thanks for the thoughts on wifie
[05:29] <bulmer> Eisenheim: what is your pc ip address? what is the routers ip address? pastebin your route -n results
[05:29] <AussieHatter> Agent_bob, after disableing ipv6 temprorarily do i need to restart the interface ?
[05:29] <bulmer> no sweat
[05:29] <Eisenheim> ima noob
[05:29] <lolface> erawfish: thanks a lot for taking ur time to help
[05:29] <Agent_bob> AussieHatter ummm i think so.
[05:29] <ma11o1> can anybody help me get vnc working on ubuntu server 6.06?
[05:29] <Eisenheim> my router <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:30] <bulmer> Eisenheim: nobs i usually ask to read a tutorial
[05:30] <lolface> erawfish even to it didnt werk :)
[05:30] <Eisenheim> pc ip adress??
[05:30] <lolface> tho*
[05:30] <lolface> k
[05:30] <Eisenheim> you got a link to one
[05:30] <lolface> bye
[05:30] <nickrud> nibsa1242: first glance looks good, let me look closer
[05:30] <bulmer> Eisenheim not off hand, but on google look for ubuntu +network tutorial+tcpip
[05:30] <MGalaxy> Agent_bob: I thing more than 40% of upgrade process has not done
[05:30] <pavan> agent_bob it shows 2 Capture devices & Input source.. both Capture devices are unmutted.. and the Input source is selected as Front Mic..
[05:31] <`2wn> how do i share a printer for use on linux computers (not samba)
[05:31] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I have stuff now in my /boot and my /boot/grub directories, which seems promising.
[05:31] <nickrud> nibsa1242: yeah, I want to make sure you got the rest, take a look at menu.lst while I'm doing that
[05:31] <bulmer> `2wn: your cups is not broadcasting the services?
[05:31] <Agent_bob> pavan ok the [mic-boost] is muted isn't it ?
[05:31] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I'm mainly concerned about unable to resolve 'UUID=...' messages
[05:31] <`2wn> bulmer how would i check that ?  i'm using gutsy
[05:32] <moad> hello , my download speed dropped a lot (from 200kbs to 15kbs) when i upgraded to Gutsy , help me ...
[05:32] <Starnestommy> moad: your ISP might be doing bandwith throttling
[05:32] <bulmer> `2wn: on the server hosting the printer   localhost:631  and look also in /etc/cups  cups.conf
[05:32] <Strangework> Blender demands that I use a middle mouse button to navigate through the grid. Problem is. I HAVE NONE. I am using a laptop, and have no external mouse handy, ideas?
[05:32] <pavan> agent_bob .. i don't see any [mic-boost] entry
[05:32] <moad> Starnestommy and whats that ?
[05:32] <Agent_bob> MGalaxy blanket fix#  sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:33] <bulmer> `2wn:  cupsd.conf rather
[05:33] <nickrud> nibsa1242: good catch.  Check    blkid   (lists uuid's, don't mind me if I'm over explaining :) in a terminal against menu.lst and /etc/fstab . Shouldn't have changed since you didn't repartition anything
[05:33] <Starnestommy> moad: when you download a lot, your internet service provider slows down your connection
[05:33] <_nix_> Strangework: you may want to enable 3-button emulation
[05:33] <`2wn> bulmer do you know of a package that will configure cups for me ?
[05:33] <Strangework> _nix_: oooh! how I do that?
[05:33] <spock_> Is there a method of increasing the size of my Wubi Virtual Drive that I Created?
[05:33] <bulmer> `2wn its called me, myself and I.. :)
[05:33] <moad> Starnestommy : i have nod ownload limit , it was 200kbs yesterday , after upgrade it was 13kbs
[05:34] <bulmer> `2wn  do it yourself, lol
[05:34] <Agent_bob> pavan hmmm   that might be a problem.   and you may have just out bid me.  my alsa no how is next to knone
[05:34] <asdfasdf> Is there some trick to getting songs on an ipod with gutsy?
[05:34] <_nix_> Strangework: that is.. when you press both the buttons, the system thinks that the middle click is done.. its enabled somewhere in xorg.conf I'm not entirely sure
[05:34] <Starnestommy> moad: I have no download limit either but my isp still slows down my connection after downloading a lot, but not as much as yours has
[05:34] <bulmer> `2wn did you already browsed to localhost:631 ?

[05:35] <MGalaxy> Agent_bob: I thing something is wrong
[05:35] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I think the uuid in /etc/fstab and menu.1st is using the UUID from my old /boot. Its since been formatted to fat and back to ext3, so I think its UUID changed.
[05:35] <_nix_> Strangework: just a sec.
[05:35] <Michael74> who here has gotten Wireless to sucessfully work on ubuntu no troubles
[05:35] <pavan> asdfasdf i set my ipod to manage music manually.. and a plug in to gutsy.. just mounts the drive.. i think most Audio s/w in gutsy would recognize it
[05:35] <Michael74> ?
[05:35] <Agent_bob> MGalaxy only if you have disabled some of the repos
[05:35] <bulmer> me
[05:35] <Strangework> _nix_:okeee
[05:35] <mikeylikesit5805> hi all my ubuntu is stuck on 85% does anyone know what that is
[05:35] <pavan> agent_bob.. thx for your help
[05:35] <MasterShrek> MGalaxy, what package are you trying to install?
[05:36] <nickrud> nibsa1242: the only thing I saw that looked odd was grub-pc , but I see that's a new version of grub, no loss. Yes, repartitioning will change the uuid, grub should have found it correctly but fstab will need work
[05:36] <Agent_bob> pavan welcome
[05:36] <MGalaxy> Agent_bob: no, all repos are enable
[05:36] <asdfasdf> the thing is it does recognize it and event transfer the files but it wont play on the ipod.  It states that there are no songs.
[05:36] <Agent_bob> pavan there is an #alsa channel
[05:36] <MasterShrek> Michael74, what kind of wireless card is it?
[05:36] <Michael74> Linksys
[05:36] <spock_> mikeylikesit5805, When loading into Ubuntu?
[05:36] <Strangework> _nix_: OMFG! I GOT IT! nevermind, but thank you! :D
[05:36] <soldats> _nix_, are you talking about emulating the middle click button
[05:36] <Agent_bob> MGalaxy then i'd say that all should be well on that system.
[05:36] <pavan> agent_bob .. will check alsa channel out.. thx
[05:36] <mikeylikesit5805> sorry spock, when installing
[05:36] <nickrud> nibsa1242: but if the menu.lst didn't find it, that's good to know
[05:36] <_nix_> Strangework: yeah.. right.. hope that helps
 so what do you suggest to do ?
[05:36] <_nix_> soldats: yeah.. thanks
[05:36] <mikeylikesit5805> its been there for about 25-40 min now
[05:37] <spock_> mikeylikesit5805, Oh, How long is it stuck for, I had to wait half an hour once while it sat at 93
[05:37] <Starnestommy> moad: wait about a day or two, and it should go back to normal
[05:37] <MasterShrek> Michael74, try the restricted drivers manager, it may be broadcom based if you are lucky, if it still doesnt work, let me know ill try to help you with it
[05:37] <spock_> mikeylikesit5805, No idea, What distro is it?
[05:37] <mikeylikesit5805> ok spock, i just let it sit, ive got nothing better to do
[05:37] <mikeylikesit5805> its xubnutu 7.10
[05:37] <bulmer> MasterShrek: restricted drivers for wifi?  is that new?
[05:37] <spock_> mikeylikesit5805, I havent installed that one, Only 7.04..
[05:37] <soldats> _nix_, ahh just wondering because i did the same thing just for fun eventhough i have a middle button
[05:38] <nickrud> MasterShrek: strange to say 'lucky' in the same sentence as broadcom, isn't it
[05:38] <mikeylikesit5805> no problem thanks for the help well see what happens
[05:38] <Michael74> @MasterShrek alright
[05:38] <navlop_> Can someone tell me why i can ping my server with ip <IP_ADDRESS>, and when i use other computer and try to ping same address is say destination host unreachable?
[05:38] <_nix_> soldats: :-)
[05:38] <spock_> mikeylikesit5805, Sorry i couldn't help
[05:38] <MasterShrek> the broadcom card should be recognized, my friend had a linksys broadcom based wifi card and it worked with that
[05:38] <Michael74> ..:: I will look for a restricted driver
[05:38] <bulmer> navlop:  same lan segment?
[05:38] <mikeylikesit5805> spcok_ no problem
[05:38] <Michael74> BTW why would you guys restrict it?
[05:39] <spock_> Is there a method of increasing the Wubi Virtual Drive size?? I have run out of space and need to extend it....
[05:39] <navlop_> yeah
[05:39] <MasterShrek> Michael74, because the driver is proprietary,
[05:39] <Agent_bob> navlop_ maybe because the other computer is not configured correctly
[05:39] <MasterShrek> Michael74, actually the driver isnt, but the firmware is, the restricted drivers manager should fetch the firmware that you need
[05:39] <bulmer> navlop: what is the ip addres of client, ?  pastebin  its route -n  result
[05:39] <Rice_Pud> 冩冩兆兆冉典典儴儘儏儓! thats what I think about this
[05:40] <nickrud> Michael74: ubuntu set up a special repository for stuff that have 'non-free' licenses, but deemed necessary for normal operation. The rest of the non-free is in multiverse
[05:40] <navlop_> server = <IP_ADDRESS>, comp1 = <IP_ADDRESS> <--works ok, comp2 <IP_ADDRESS> <- doesn't reach host
[05:40] <pavan> all i cannot seem to get my mic working.. from alsamixer i think all entries are unmuted.. does anyone know if there is module that needs to be loaded for this??
[05:40] <scguy318> pavan: Intel HDA?
[05:40] <Michael74> MasterShrek: does it make a different if the card we are talking about is the "Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster (WUSB54GSv2)
[05:40] <MasterShrek> pavan, just your soundcard driver afaik
[05:41] <bulmer> navlop: wait ta minute,  you said earlier <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[05:41] <MasterShrek> Michael74, no idea, if you want to do a command for me we can find out
[05:41] <Rice_Pud> H£ÎÎö =]
[05:41] <MasterShrek> Michael74, open a terminal and type: lspci -v | grep Network
[05:41] <_nix_> Rice_Pud: hello.. what new keyboard?
[05:41] <pavan> scguy318 : Card is HDA STI SB .. Chip SgimaTel STAC9250
[05:41] <Rice_Pud> no :X
[05:42] <bulmer> navlop: also, is .22 and .20 are on same lan?  no switches or any funny device between them and the server ?
[05:42] <_nix_> Rice_Pud: ;-)
[05:42] <Sol> when formatting a drive using GParted, i should be using the linux-swap filesystem for the swap partition correct?
[05:42] <Michael74> I'm not in Ubuntu, I'm booted in Vista at the moment.....
[05:42] <_nix_> Sol: correct
[05:42] <MasterShrek> Sol, sounds reasonable
[05:42] <Sol> haha
[05:42] <Sol> i just don't want ta screw it up yo
[05:42] <navlop_> k this is my setup <IP_ADDRESS> = server, comp1 = <IP_ADDRESS> <-works ok, comp2= <IP_ADDRESS>,- host unreachable, but i can ping comp1 to comp2 and vice a versa
[05:43] <pavan> scguy318 : is there any snd_xxx driver for the mic.. i have few of them present in the lsmod.. is there any specific for the mic
[05:43] <_nix_> Sol: you're welcome
[05:43] <Michael74> why .23?
[05:43] <Dial_tone> is vmware player no longed updated?
[05:43] <MasterShrek> Michael74, well what im looking for is the subsystem of the card, im not sure what driver you would need to enable for it
[05:43] <Rice_Pud> ϾYϿ
[05:43] <Sol> nix: thank you, but i'm not quite done questioning yet ;P
[05:43] <nogh> hi everybody
[05:43] <Sol> now, would there be any noticeable performance difference putting the swap at the end or the beginning of the drive?
[05:43] <_nix_> Sol: you're welcome to screw it though ;-) just kidding..
[05:43] <scguy318> pavan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller may be helpful
[05:44] <nibsa1242> nickrud: menu.lst seems to have it right, however, its set to the UUID of my /root directory not my /boot directory but I think that is the correct way to do things... at least that is how the computer I'm using right now (laptop) is set up
[05:44] <nogh> just a little question, who has a eee pc?
[05:44] <bulmer> navlop:  you seem to be so secretive of your lay out...what exactly is the correct ip addresses? btw prefix your responses to me with my nick or i will miss
[05:44] <mikeylikesit5805> hey spock_ it just skipped from 85 to 97% thanks
[05:44] <Sol> nix: oh, i just might!
[05:44] <pavan> scguy318 : You think my card is intel?? this is a AMD laptop
[05:44] <nickrud> nibsa1242: nothing like the smoke test :)
[05:44] <navlop_> bulmer k this is my setup <IP_ADDRESS> = server, comp1 = <IP_ADDRESS> <-works ok, comp2= <IP_ADDRESS>,- host unreachable, but i can ping comp1 to comp2 and vice a versa
[05:44] <Michael74> when is another person going to join this channle
[05:44] <MasterShrek> pavan, my amd laptop has an intel card
[05:45] <toresn_> how can i change the permission (using chmod) for all subdirectories within a directory ?
[05:45] <cortar> where are the multimedia settings? it says they are incorrect when i try to record sound
[05:45] <Sol> now, would there be any noticeable performance difference putting the swap at the end or the beginning of the drive?
[05:45] <navlop_> bulmer subnet mask = <IP_ADDRESS>, gateway= <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:45] <MasterShrek> toresn_, chmod -R
[05:45] <Michael74> isn't the normal permission 774?
[05:45] <dsnyders> HI all!  Is there a way of removing a screensaver from the list?
[05:45] <bulmer> navlop: how are these 3 host tied together? via a switch? a router? a hub? twisted cable?
[05:45] <nickrud> nibsa1242: I haven't used a separate boot partition in a long time (and that was with lilo) so I don't know really
[05:45] <Rice_Pud> ɯɫF?
[05:45] <Starnestommy> Michael74: I think it's 744
[05:45] <Michael74> yeah
[05:45] <_nix_> Sol: I'm not sure but I think putting it in the beginning should increase performance
[05:45] <nibsa1242> nickrud: well I still figure I need to reinstall grub onto the mbr, maybe... maybe not. I guess I can just restart and watch to see what happens.
[05:46] <MasterShrek> Michael74, it all depends on waht file you are talking about, different files have different permisssions throughout the system
[05:46] <nano__> I need some help, turns out i need the make package, but in order to install it, i'll have to use the command make...
[05:46] <Agent_bob> navlop_ it will help if you will diagram the setup.  i.e.  inet--dslmodem--lan0-box0-wlan0--router--wlan0-box1     or what ever you have.
[05:46] <nickrud> nibsa1242: reinstalling the mbr wouldn't hurt anything
[05:46] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I'm a fan of having at least /boot / /home and /var.
[05:46] <MasterShrek> nano_, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:46] <bulmer> navlop  why is the gateway <IP_ADDRESS> ?  not same as the server?
[05:46] <navlop_> bulmer comp1, comp2, server ---> switch --->router
[05:46] <Rice_Pud> ѦӪӜӞ...
[05:46] <Starnestommy> nano__: sudo apt-get install build-essential?
[05:47] <Michael74> yes
[05:47] <akorn> :S
[05:47] <Sol> nix: ok thank you. and also, if i create a /home partition as well, i know i can do a clean wipe of the OS without deleting data, or vice versa i'm not sure which
[05:47] <_nix_> Rice_Pud: broken keymap??
[05:47] <Rice_Pud> no :0
[05:47] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I know it won't hurt, but I can't seem to do it from inside of the chroot anyway, so I'd have to burn a grub install disk. I think I'll just restart and see what happens.
[05:47] <nickrud> nibsa1242: never have seen a need for a separate boot since lilo beat the 1024 mark, and it's really a pain when you have 32bit and 64bit ubuntu installed since they both use the same name for the kernel
[05:47] <akorn> hey can anybody help me with resolution settings (sort of) with an external monitor attached to my laptop?
[05:47] <Rice_Pud> i cant
[05:47] <nickrud> nibsa1242: if you need to do it outside the chroot, I have a howto
[05:47] <bulmer> navlop manage switch? any filtering done by the switch? access list? again  pastebin the  route -n result of the comp1 and comp2
[05:47] <Michael74> what is the card?
[05:47] <_nix_> Sol: its a good idea to create a seperate /home partition.. yeah
[05:47] <navlop_> bulmer  <IP_ADDRESS> = router
[05:47] <Michael74> if it is nVidia you will be in luck
[05:48] <nibsa1242> nickrud: go ahead and give me the howto just in case... I'm rebooting now
[05:48] <akorn> Michael74 no it's intelgma
[05:48] <Michael74> (just grab the nVidia software and change the res)
[05:48] <cortar> sound capture test gives: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing.
[05:48] <Michael74> otherwise it's going to be tuff
[05:48] <Sol> nix:alright, any ide how large? 1 gig? or is the /home partition where personal data is stored
[05:48] <Sol> +a
[05:48] <Agent_bob> Michael74 intelgma he said
[05:48] <nickrud> nibsa1242: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hda If you got BIOS warnings try: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hda --recheck
[05:48] <soldats>  /home is for personal stuffs
[05:49] <Michael74> (my computer has bad ping)
[05:49] <_nix_> Sol: that really depends on you man... 1Gig may be good enough for me but different people have different need
[05:49] <_nix_> s
[05:49] <akorn> Michael174 i'll tell you what happens...the resoultion is fine, except when i try to Fullscreen something (like a movie to watch) it won't completely full screen, because my resolution on external is 1680x1050 and my laptop goes up to 1440x900...so it "full screens" to the size of my laptop monitor (even though my laptop monitor doesnt show the entire desktop because 1680x1050 is too big)
[05:49] <nickrud> nibsa1242: that's with the /boot mounted correctly in the chroot
[05:49] <Rice_Pud> ૱ગસ૦આ?...
[05:49] <Agent_bob> sol how much free space are you playing with ?
[05:49] <Sol> nix: well i mean, i'm trying to get a good understanding of the filesystem
[05:49] <MasterShrek> akorn, are you using compiz by chance?
[05:49] <Sol> bob: 465 gigs, wiped clean
[05:50] <Michael74> akorn: so the monitor works until you watch a movie?
[05:50] <dsnyders> Rice_pud, your typing comes out as gibberish.
[05:50] <bulmer> navlop manage switch? any filtering done by the switch? access list? again  pastebin the  route -n result of the comp1 and comp2
[05:50] <nibsa1242> nickrud: ok, If rebooting doesn't work I will try that
[05:50] <nickrud> Rice_Pud: thai?
[05:50] <mattgyver83> Hi room.  Is it possible to have different user logins auto-connect to different networks?  Everytime i change the network on one user login it affects the other.
[05:50] <akorn> MasterShrek yes
[05:50] <_nix_> Sol: 465 gigs man... that awsome
[05:50] <nano__> MasterShrek: Ok what  will that do?
[05:50] <MasterShrek> akorn, disable it and it should work fine
[05:50] <akorn> Michael74 it works for movies too...what i mean is any screen that i try to fullscreen ( used movie as an example, but even this screen) won't entirely full screen
[05:50] <Rice_Pud> ധആഈ൧ൢൠ   =\
[05:50] <Sol> nix: Shiny new hdd, i've got another 200(186gig) that i've been using, though i thought it was time to get some more storage and make the switch from windows
[05:50] <nibsa1242> nickrud yeah, I'll have to do that... got a grub error 15
[05:50] <MasterShrek> nano__, build-essential is a meta-package that installs all sorts of compilers and stuff, also make and other programs
[05:51] <Michael74> akorn: try disabling compiz like MasterShrek said I think it will help
[05:51] <akorn> MasterShrek what i was doing before and it seems tow ork, is i'd log in, and then lower the resoultion, then reraise it back to 1680x1050 and fullscreen would work
[05:51] <`KaNe> just wondering if anyone knows how to change the dcc ports on xchat?
[05:51] <_nix_> Rice_Pud: broken keymap?? :P
[05:51] <nano__> MasterShrek: Ok but part of it failed to install
[05:51] <Agent_bob> sol ok how about.  16g / (the root fs) 3g swap (swap space) 40g /home (user space)  and the rest free until needed/wanted   at which time you simply make an fs and mounted it where you need the space.
[05:51] <Rice_Pud> Chingpow... chung pung coah!!< --- means not really
[05:51] <_nix_> Sol: gee.. I mean.. you can have about 200 Gs for your home partition anyway.. :-)
[05:51] <Starnestommy> `KaNe: it picks random ports, iirc
[05:52] <MasterShrek> `KaNe, settings > preferences > file transfers   dcc start port and dcc end port
[05:52] <MasterShrek> nano__, what part?
[05:52] <akorn> Michael74 MasterShrek yea it works when i disable compiz...i kind of want a solution though not a work around :)
[05:52] <Michael74> _SERVER_ : FIX KEYMAP | USER Rice_Pud;_nix_
[05:52] <nataku_> does anyone know of an orange-on-black GTK theme?
[05:52] <Grammaticus_> How can I discover my DNS address?
[05:52] <MasterShrek> akorn, try #ubuntu-effects
[05:52] <navlop_> bulmer  hear is the pastebin = http://pastebin.com/dab209a0   switch is un-mananged, no filters both computers report the same thing as the following paste bin
[05:52] <Rice_Pud> ണഢീ?
[05:52] <_nix_> Grammaticus: cat /etc/resolv.conf would be a nice place to start with
[05:52] <Sol> nix: yeah i was thinkin that, i've got 40 gigs of tunes i've got to keep somewhere ;)
[05:52] <akorn> MasterShrek thanks
[05:52] <RoshanK> MasterShrek i just installed windows XP on my system that already had Vista and Ubuntu installed, and I loaded GRUB to be able to boot XP and Vista as well as Ubuntu, but whenever I go to the line that has Vista that I always used it boots into XP, and there seems to be no new entries to GRUB of XP
[05:52] <bulmer> Grammaticus: which ISP provider?
[05:52] <nano__> hmmm, not sure
[05:53] <_nix_> Michael74: what was that man??
[05:53] <jungletech>  hey i'm having trouble upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10, getting an error that says Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[05:53] <RoshanK> MasterShrek so I'm currently unable to boot into Vista
[05:53] <Michael74> akorn: try installed compiz fussion it might be the better one
[05:53] <jungletech> any idea why?
[05:53] <nano__> MasterShrek: I'm running 6.06 LTS... for now
[05:53] <Grammaticus_> bulmer, I'm using dial-up, in fact -- or attempting to. PeoplePC
[05:53] <dsnyders> Grammaticus_, /etc/resolv.conf should have the addresses of your dns servers.
[05:53] <Sol> bob: so theoretically i could make as many partitions as i wanted?
[05:53] <nibsa1242> nickrud: Even if I install grub, I think I've got an error somewhere in the menu.lst file, the Super Grub Disk (its a boot disk of sorts) doe
[05:53] <toresn_> MasterShrek, ah, great, but that would change the permission on the files within as well ?
[05:53] <nano__> MasterShrek: But im not sure .. lubuntu 5
[05:53] <Agent_bob> sol that will allow for later installation of what ever,  and you can have a storage space of 100g that you can mount in /media/some/place
[05:53] <_nix_> jungletech: does it say anything like.. not a gzip archive or something?
[05:53] <nickrud> nibsa1242: good tool
[05:53] <nibsa1242> nickrud: doesn't boot right if I use the menu.lst that was created
[05:53] <akorn> Michael74 just did that :)
[05:53] <toresn_> MasterShrek, how can i change the permission on only the directories?
[05:54] <Michael74> nano__: why are you running 6.06?
[05:54] <Agent_bob> sol and still have lots of room to wiggle
[05:54] <Sol> bob: would there be some sort of conflict? i mean at most i'd like one for my music and one for other random junk,
[05:54] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst for me
[05:54] <Michael74> akorn: and....... does it work correctly?
[05:54] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I get error 15, file not found
[05:54] <MasterShrek> toresn_, yes it would, i dont know about the directories
[05:54] <bulmer> Grammaticus: you can nslookup  peoplepc.com and look for their name server
[05:54] <Agent_bob> sol none what so ever.
[05:54] <akorn> Michael74 i mean i just did that the other day haha
[05:54] <Michael74> oh
[05:54] <nickrud> nibsa1242: put up your menu.lst , sudo fdisk -l , and  ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[05:54] <Sol> bob: like i said, i'm coming from windows, wouldn't it just make sense to format it all to one partition and fill it up as needed?
[05:54] <navlop_> bulmer  hear is the pastebin = http://pastebin.com/dab209a0   switch is un-mananged, no filters both computers report the same thing as the following paste bin
[05:54] <Michael74> wait what?
[05:54] <`KaNe> ok what is the best irc client to pick for ubuntu
[05:54] <Agent_bob> sol the linux kernel cares not where you mount what kind of fs.  so it's really flexable.
[05:54] <akorn> Michael74: it did fix video problems though...i used to have to turn off compiz to watch a movie because the movie would come out choppy otherwise, now it runs perfectly for that
[05:55] <nibsa1242> nickrud: that'll be a few, need to wait for live cd to load
[05:55] <Michael74> #ubuntu
[05:55] <jungletech> i think it might have something to do with the restricted bit, but not sure why
[05:55] <kenboo> where can I get php4 for gutsy (i know php4 is old, and Debian won't support it either but I need it)
[05:55] <bulmer> navlop_: same for the server too?
[05:55] <Starnestommy> `KaNe: xchat or irssi
[05:55] <nano__> Michael74: Windows was messed up, needed to put some OS on... teacher loves linux and had the live CD nearby so...
[05:55] <soldats> `KaNe, depends on what gui you want or if youwant gui at all
[05:55] <navlop_> bulmer let me check
[05:55] <Flannel> kenboo: You cant.  You'll need to compile it
[05:55] <Geoffrey2> has anyone in here used vmware server?  I presume I need both the server and the associated client package?
[05:55] <Starnestommy> `KaNe: or konversation
[05:55] <fanat1k> hi all. Could somebody name the program that shows and saves into file configuration of computer(MOTHERBOARD, processor, cd-roms, etc.) ?
[05:55] <nickrud> nibsa1242: I'll be around for about a half hour. Not a real grub expert, but I can do the simple checks
[05:55] <kenboo> Flannel: uh so php4 package from Edgy doesn't install ?
[05:55] <`KaNe> yeah but for some resone i cant configure dcc ports on xchat
[05:55] <fanat1k> for ubuntu...
[05:55] <`KaNe> i have the gnome
[05:55] <MasterShrek> Geoffrey2, u dont need the client unless you want to connect from other pc's
[05:55] <_nix_> jungletech: you may want to try sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin and then updating/upgrading
[05:56] <Sol> bob: ok so this is my final question for the night. I've downloaded gutsy, but i'm on a live cd
[05:56] <Flannel> akorn: Uh, I suppose you could try it.  Sure.  Just know it's not supported.  If that gives you issues, try using prevu (see !prevu) and "backporting" php4 from edgy
[05:56] <Michael74> nano__: you can burn 7.10 to cd and upgrade without pain
[05:56] <`KaNe> i was told to go to pereference and dcc but there is nothing to pick my ports
[05:56] <MasterShrek> Geoffrey2, but i suggest virtualbox to vmware
[05:56] <RoshanK> MasterShrek http://pastebin.com/mb58fec7 is what i have
[05:56] <Michael74> nano__: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[05:56] <Rice_Pud> Gnomes > Dwarves?
[05:56] <soldats> `KaNe, you should check out the xchat home page it explains how to do most of that stuff
[05:56] <Agent_bob> sol not really it wouldn't  because if you have seperate partitions then if you loose one fs the others are still usable and possably you can recover the lost data from the running system.  where as if you make one partition and anything goes wrong, bye bye data   and reloading the system wipes out everything.
[05:56] <Sol> bob: so i need to partition the drive now to save that for later burning (tomorrow)
[05:56] <`KaNe> ok i will
[05:56] <nano__> Michael74: I will soon enough
[05:56] <Michael74> Bye everybody!
[05:56] <kenboo> ok , thanks.
[05:57] <_nix_> fanat1k: lshw lspci lsusb etc.. lots of tools there
[05:57] <Sol> bob: ooh snap ok cool cool
[05:57] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, also can you give me the device names /dev/xxxx of the partitions that show up as NTFS when you type: sudo fdisk -l
[05:57] <`KaNe> im just used to using mirc but i want to ty somthing new since mirc dose not work good on linux
[05:57] <no0tic> in .bash_profile I changed the default umask to 017. Can anybody around spot any problem doing this?
[05:57] <nano__> I'll probably download it tonight and put it on a little later
[05:57] <dsnyders> Does anyone know how to disable particular screensavers?
[05:57] <fanat1k> _nix_: lshw did not show motherboard's version :(
[05:57] <soldats> `KaNe, i forgot the exact address and i dont have to bookmark since im not on my Xubuntu hdd
[05:57] <Agent_bob> sol some people even use seperate /var and /usr partitions for security reasons.
[05:57] <navlop_> bulmer  server route -n is missing the following line <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS> U, 1000, 0, 0, eth0
[05:57] <Sol> hmm.
[05:57] <soldats> s/to/my
[05:57] <_nix_> fanat1k: you can even try dmidecode
[05:57] <`KaNe> np thanks anyways
[05:57] <Michael74> MasterShrek: crap what was that command to find out if my adapter mattered?
[05:57] <akorn> Michael74 this is weird, but if instead of double-clicking to maximize my window, i click the maximize button at the top right, it full screens
[05:58] <bulmer> navlop_: can you pastebin it? easier for me to read
[05:58] <Michael74> mastershrek: it was like network -l or something?
[05:58] <MasterShrek> Michael74, lspci -v | grep Network
[05:58] <fanat1k> _nix_: ok, I'll try it now
[05:58] <Sol> bob: when i load the live CD tomorrow to burn this disc, would i have to remount the partition?
[05:58] <Decinoge> i'm having a bit of a problem of frame rate for an application i am developing, and i believe it's not code related, but it has to do with my graphical configuration
[05:58] <Decinoge> can anyone lend me a hand please?
[05:58] <RoshanK> MasterShrek http://pastebin.com/m2342ad5c
[05:58] <Michael74> MasterShrek: I knew I missed a word
[05:58] <_nix_> Decinoge: just ask man.. ;-)
[05:59] <Cpudan80> Sol: So you want to use both Ubuntu and windows ?
[05:59] <Michael74> I do
[05:59] <Cpudan80> Or... what now?
[05:59] <Agent_bob> sol so the way you set up an fstab (file system table) is really dependant on three things.   1 needs and avalable alternatives  2. knowledge of forseeable needs and options   3. the bad advice you get from otthers  :)
[05:59] <Michael74> Vista and Ubuntu 8.04
[05:59] <jungletech> _nix_ thanks for the idea, didn't seem to work though
[05:59] <Michael74> makes a great team
[05:59] <threefcata> how can i wine an application in another locale?
[05:59] <Sol> well for now i just need ubuntu and get my NTFS based data
[05:59] <bulmer> Michael74: you were using a USB?  use lsusb  instead of lspci perhaps it would detect it
[05:59] <_nix_> jungletech: ok.. maybe somebody else knows something here.. thanks for trying
[06:00] <Michael74> gotta keep a backup incase Microsoft totally kills me off the loop. (VISTA IS SCARRY)
[06:00] <Cpudan80> Sol: The live CD can read the NTFS drive --- or you can mount it again afterward
[06:00] <kenboo> threefcata:  i think it takes LANG.  my wine runs in Japanese
[06:00] <Cpudan80> Michael74: So you want to DB Vista and Ubuntu ?
[06:00] <Decinoge> well, its an SDL application (aka: game) and i get flutuating frame rates, and always lower than expected. i've tried to run some tutorials around the ubuntu forums, and i get 60fps... on the best cases. when people have 5000 up to 6000 with the exact same code
[06:00] <nataku_> does anyone know of an orange-on-black GTK theme?
[06:00] <mikeylikesit5805> hi all if i have xubuntu installed on my laptop is there a way i can reinstall it through the command line?
[06:00] <Michael74> bulmer: lusb?
[06:00] <Sol> bob: hahahaha ok
[06:00] <RoshanK> MasterShrek now i believe that sda1 is the vista recovery partition, sda2 was what I had vista on
[06:00] <threefcata> kenboo, you mean specifying LANG as an argument?
[06:00] <RoshanK> and sda5 is XP
[06:00] <Decinoge> i have a nVidia 7400, and i'm running ubuntu on a vaio laptop.
[06:00] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, http://pastebin.com/m669e30c1 try replacing your menu.lst with this one that i made for you
[06:01] <bulmer> Michael74: yes to find the network stuff you were disccussing
[06:01] <bazhang> www.gnome-look.org may have one nataku_
[06:01] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, thats what i think too, i set it up for you
[06:01] <kenboo> LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine something.exe
[06:01] <Geoffrey2> MasterShrek: any real difference between VirtualBox and VirtualBox OSE?
[06:01] <nano__> Michael74: Now that I think about it, i did download 7.10 but when i booted it off a virtual drive it looked strictly command line?
[06:01] <nataku_> I've searched art.gnome.org, gnome-look.org, and a couple others from top to bottom :(
[06:01] <Michael74> bulmer: alright thanks
[06:01] <nataku_> actually maybe I'll just poke around in the gtkrc file for a theme I already like
[06:01] <MasterShrek> Geoffrey2, umm, ose is open-source-edition probably (im just guessing) the other is probably a corporate version u would have to pay for or something i spose
[06:01] <dsnyders> nataku_, I'm not familiar with themes myself,  But you may try looking for halloween related ones.
[06:01] <icesword> nano_.what distribution,what about startx
[06:02] <nataku_> ah good call actually
[06:02] <Michael74> nano__: try burning it to a CD or mounting it, I'm not too fimilare with upgrading Ubuntu but it should recognize it
[06:02] <Michael74> hold on
[06:02] <Decinoge> i have access to the nvidia x server settings, but i have no idea of what should i do...
[06:02] <navlop_> bulmer hear it is http://pastebin.com/d7cae8582
[06:02] <threefcata> kenboo, alright trying
[06:02] <nano__> ---Twas Ubuntu
[06:02] <nano__> desktop
[06:02] <Sol> cpudan80: well i need to write to the NTFS drive
[06:02] <RoshanK> MasterShrek while using gedit it said that I do not have permissions to save file
[06:02] <Agent_bob> sol as a side note. personally i wouldn't dedicate more than about 60g to any one os/distro   no need it making one install the only usable thing you have.   dual boot windows ubuntu debial mandrake fbsd fedora plan9 ...  you name it.
[06:02] <`KaNe> ok i have a ubuntu question. i tryed the kde desktop but didnt like it and uninstalled it but everytime i boot up or shut down it still says kubuntu instead of ubuntu. even at the log in
[06:02] <_nix_> Agent_bob: you call that dual boot??
[06:02] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, open a terminal and type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:02] <Sol> bob: well right now i'm just going to mess around with ubuntu
[06:03] <Cpudan80> Sol: You can test it in the live CD -- but I think Ubuntu has full read/write support for NTFS
[06:03] <Cpudan80> Definitely read....
[06:03] <Sol> cpudan80: possibly in 7.10 but the live cd i'm using is 6.10
[06:03] <Librustralia> Hey everyone :)
[06:03] <Agent_bob> Cpudan80 we have alread told him about ntfs-3g
[06:03] <Cpudan80> Sol: Good grief - why ?
[06:03] <_nix_> Librustralia: hello.. wussup
[06:03] <dxdt> `KaNe: that is an interesting problem.  You could try to reinstall ubuntu-desktop which may fix it.  Someone might have a better solution in the channel too

[06:04] <dxdt> moad: Yes, Avant
[06:04] <fismoll8> anyone know where I can find a good gcc tutorial
[06:04] <bulmer> navlop_: how the heck you get a metric of 100 and 1000 ?    am surprise it even works

[06:04] <fismoll8> can do the basic things, like compile code--would like to learn some more
[06:04] <Cpudan80> Michael74: It's a slow painful thing --- you have to upgrade one version at a time

[06:04] <moad> dxdt: ok ,thank you ... but isnt Avant a web browser ?
[06:04] <Librustralia> I have XP installed on a 30gb partition but i get the BSOD when I try to go into it lol
[06:04] <Agent_bob> sol same is true in 6.10 as in 7.10  native readonly  plus ntfs-3g read write access.

[06:04] <Cpudan80> Sol: You really should download the newest version
[06:05] <Michael74> nano__: I'm sorry I can't be of more help but I don't really have experience in upgrading ubuntu
[06:05] <Decinoge> hmmmmmmmm
[06:05] <Decinoge> messy
[06:05] <Cpudan80> At any rate - you'll need the ntfs-3g package
[06:05] <Sol> cpudan80: yeah i'm working on that as we speak :)
[06:05] <bulmer> navlop_: that does not look right, having tcp ip  metric over 15..over 15 it fails
[06:05] <nano__> oh
[06:05] <Librustralia> n2diy: I'm on Ubuntu right now, but I have this game that I want to play that's only on windoze
[06:05] <dxdt> Oh I totally messed that up, yeah 7.10 is not LTS, it is only supported to 09
[06:05] <Cpudan80> dxdt: Ok --- it's the next one that is LTS then?
[06:05] <Michael74> BYE EVERYBODY!
[06:05] <dxdt> which incidentally I think is the date at which the LTS available ends so... really.. you might as well just use 7.10 in that case
[06:05] <nano__> One version at a time? Better get comfortable with 6.06 LTS
[06:05] <Cpudan80> bye bye
[06:05] <n2diy> Librustralia: and Winders now gives you the BSOD?
[06:05] <Librustralia> n2diy: and for some reason the windows partition is on my desktop has "sda1"
[06:05] <dxdt> Cpudan80: yeah I think the next one is but I'm not sure
[06:05] <navlop_> bulmer  but i can log onto server from computer 1, but not computer 2
[06:05] <Librustralia> n2diy: yep
[06:06] <nickrud> Cpudan80: ubuntu yes, kubuntu no
[06:06] <bazhang> !lts
[06:06] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[06:06] <Cpudan80> pfft kubuntu
[06:06] <nickrud> lol
[06:06] <Cpudan80> KDE is dumb
[06:06] <`KaNe> ok cool that should do it thanks
[06:06] <moad> dxdt: where to get it ?
[06:06] <Sol> bob: I've been running a bootleg copy of WinXP for 3 years now, and, being arrogant, deleted the iso of said bootleg copy a while back.

[06:06] <Cpudan80> Although KDE4 looks nice
[06:06] <MasterShrek> Librustralia, if you get bsod, its probably something wrong with windoze and not ubuntu
[06:06] <navlop_> bulmer  what does metric  mean
[06:06] <nickrud> Cpudan80: the staff decided that they didn't want to take on kde4.0 lts
[06:06] <nickrud> Cpudan80: according to blogs, anyway
[06:07] <Librustralia> n2diy: Ok I'll try that :D
[06:07] <MasterShrek> dxdt, 8.04 is going to be LTS
[06:07] <Cpudan80> Librustralia: What exactly does the BSOD say?
[06:07] <Librustralia> mastershrek: It says "unmountable boot volume"
[06:07] <Agent_bob> sol heh. yeah.   get all your warez at <IP_ADDRESS>  :)
[06:07] <Cpudan80> nickrud: Really - not in the next version ?
[06:07] <Sol> hahahah yeah yeah

[06:07] <MasterShrek> Librustralia, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst for me
[06:08] <nickrud> Cpudan80: they're gonna have both 3.5? and 4.0, don't want to commit 3 full years to barely post-beta stuff
[06:08] <Sol> Bob: i5 taht t3h l33t sc3n3 s3rv3rz?
[06:08] <Cpudan80> Librustralia: Boot off your XP disk -- enter the recovery console (press R) and then do fixboot c: -- where c is your windows drive
[06:08] <Cpudan80> MasterShrek: If it BSODd - it's out of grub's hands
[06:08] <Ch1ppy> hi, I'm having trouble getting java working in firefox... can anyone help me out?

[06:08] <Decinoge> okay, let me make it simple......
[06:09] <nickrud> !webmin
[06:09] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system - Consider "ebox" instead
[06:09] <Cpudan80> nickrud: Ahh ok
[06:09] <Eisenheim> is there a command i can type to see the wireless chip i have
[06:09] <Decinoge> ubuntu is giving me lame framerates on my games, why?
[06:09] <Agent_bob> sol yeah that's the one.    ;/
[06:09] <Sol> kewlz.
[06:09] <nibsa1242> nickrud: ok, look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51990/ ... I think I found the issue.
[06:09] <MasterShrek> Decinoge, do you have gfx card drivers installed?
[06:09] <n2diy> Eisenheim: lshw
[06:09] <dxdt> moad: You can use a repo if you want or some other method of installing.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2307772
[06:09] <Librustralia> MasterShrek, where can I find the boot/grub/menu.lst file?
[06:09] <Grammaticus_> Or, if anyone knows. When I am in /etc/resolvconf, how do I acquire my DNS address?
[06:09] <Decinoge> yes MasterShrek
[06:09] <Librustralia> Cpudan80: Okay, I'll try that afterwards
[06:09] <Decinoge> nVidia ones
[06:09] <Cpudan80> Librustralia: at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:10] <Librustralia> o
[06:10] <navlop_> its like a gui so u don't have to edit all your files...lol...lazy man
[06:10] <Cpudan80> It really wont say anything interesting
[06:10] <MasterShrek> Librustralia, forget it, as Cpudan80 suggested if its bsod'ing its not grub, or linux's problem, its xp
[06:10] <dxdt> moad: Also, there may be other docks available, I think that one is most popular, though.  It is the one I use and it is pretty alright, sorta buggy when using dual desktops, though
[06:10] <Cpudan80> but ok
[06:10] <nickrud> nibsa1242: the stuff in /  should be links to /boot images
[06:10] <navlop_> bulmer its like a gui so u don't have to edit all your files...lol...lazy man
[06:10] <poli> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz  is this a knwon problem?
[06:10] <bulmer> navlop_: as you can see, lazyness didnt pay off this time  :)
[06:10] <Cpudan80> Although Unmountable boot volume does sound GRUBish
[06:10] <keith-> poli: yeah
[06:10] <MasterShrek> poli, yes
[06:10] <MasterShrek> !brokenflash
[06:10] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[06:10] <navlop_> bulmer lol
[06:10] <xibalba> hey i just installed ubuntu 6.06lts, i know if i change my IP which is currently getting it's net info via DHCP it will break sudo. how should i go about preventing breaking sudo when i want to change my IP?
[06:10] <Eisenheim> so if it picks it up having it how do i get it working
[06:10] <keith-> poli: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_i386.deb
[06:11] <keith-> poli: install that package... it works well
[06:11] <Sol> bob: well thanks for all your help, i'll be back tomorrow when i get around to actually installing, it's sleepy time
[06:11] <Decinoge> :\
[06:11] <poli> Thanks, mates.
[06:11] <xibalba> so how can i switch ips without breaking SUDO
[06:11] <Sol> nix: thank you as well for your help
[06:11] <dxdt> xibalba: it breaks sudo? what?
[06:11] <Ch1ppy> can anyone help me get java working in firefox?
[06:11] <Jorge_> Hey people, is there a good online course for ubuntu certification?
[06:11] <schnoowork> can you download the sun java jre through synaptic ?
[06:11] <MasterShrek> xibalba, i highly doubt changing your ip breaks sudo, that doesnt make a bit of sense
[06:11] <bulmer> xibalba: what? are you logged in to same box now?
[06:11] <nibsa1242> nickrud: the things in / are links to /boot. However, / is sda5, and grub's root is sda1
[06:11] <olskolirc> where is the gui for the boot menu like the one in fiesty?
[06:11] <RoshanK> MasterShrek unfortunately it didn't work. When I tried going to the Windows Vista option it said "error 12: invalid device request" or something close to that, but there was a Windows XP option that did work this time
[06:11] <xibalba> yeh it says something about not being able to resolve the proper host name
[06:11] <navlop_> ubotu, ebox ?
[06:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ebox ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:11] <Librustralia> Mastershrek: ok, is there a way to reformat the entire partition?
[06:11] <schnoowork> !java
[06:11] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[06:12] <Grammaticus> Alas!
[06:12] <navlop_> ubotu, ty
[06:12] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[06:12] <xibalba> how do i upgrade the kernel too ?
[06:12] <dxdt> xibalba: maybe you typoed something?  I've changed IP's a lot from static to dhcp, etc and never broken sudo.
[06:12] <`KaNe> :)
[06:12] <xibalba> sorry i'm a bsd zealout, new to ubuntu, but loving LTS so far
[06:12] <MasterShrek> Librustralia, u may not have to, as Cpudan80 said, boot an xp cd and get into the recovery console and type: fixboot c:
[06:12] <Librustralia> ok I'll be back :)
[06:12] <xibalba> dxdt if you can stick around in 10 minutes i'll change it and reboot it and show you what i mean
[06:12] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, sda5 is vista right?
[06:12] <Cpudan80> Good grief he wants to format the whole smash?
[06:12] <Ch1ppy> ubotu: I have java installed on my system, I just can't get it working in firefox... the plugin won't install
[06:12] <xibalba> generally i have to login to single user, reset the root pass, then just use 'su' not sudo su
[06:12] <Cpudan80> yeah... that can be done :-)
[06:12] <poli> laughs too/wc
[06:13] <dxdt> xibalba: yeah grab some error messages and stuffs
[06:13] <poli> oops thanks for the help
[06:13] <RoshanK> no sda 5 is xp and i believe sda2 is vista
[06:13] <Ch1ppy> schnoowork: I have java installed on my system, I just can't get it working in firefox... the plugin won't install
[06:13] <RoshanK> MasterShrek no sda 5 is xp and i believe sda2 is vista
[06:13] <xibalba> dxdt, does an apt-get upgrade grab the latest kernel too ?
[06:13] <nickrud> nibsa1242: I'm not sure how grub deals with a separate boot partition, like I said I've never used one with it. But I tend to think you have problems with the mbr , you sure you wrote it correctly?
[06:13] <bulmer> xibalba: you use it as sudo .. not as sudo su...
[06:13] <MasterShrek> hmm
[06:13] <xibalba> i use sudo su to drop into a root shell
[06:13] <xibalba> versus just executing 1 cmd
[06:13] <Lokii-> with the ftp command in terminal
[06:14] <Lokii-> can you recursively get files ?
[06:14] <Rudihawk> hi guys, is there a way to get NTFS write rights,while using the live CD? - I have a friend who needs to copy data from one drive to another
[06:14] <xibalba> when i do an apt-get upgrade it shows me this. Building dependency tree... Done
[06:14] <xibalba> The following packages have been kept back:
[06:14] <xibalba>   linux-image-amd64-server
[06:14] <bulmer> xibalba i dont know what the side effects of that is, someone here earlier mentioned something bout a side effect which i already forget
[06:14] <telee> why wont thunar copy my files from my internal HD to my external HD.  There are two items in the folder that i try to copy and it only copies one, but i get no errors... any clues?
[06:14] <Jorge_> ok, not a problem.  I found a general linux certification on an IBM site
[06:14] <n2diy> Lokii-: why are you using ftp? Learn scp, it is much more secure.
[06:14] <olskolirc> what is the gui version of the boot menu.lst called so that I can change my timer please?
[06:15] <Jorge_> I just wish there was something specific to Ubuntu
[06:15] <Lokii-> n2diy i'm connecting to an FTP server
[06:15] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I'm using my laptop, which also has a /boot directory as a guide... I think the mbr is fine. I'm going to "fix" what I think the problem is and then try to reboot.
[06:15] <MasterShrek> olskolirc, its a config file that you edit, theres no "gui version" just use an editor
[06:15] <bulmer> navlop_: now modify the /etc/network/interfaces  for dhcp or static ip address you use
[06:15] <MasterShrek> olskolirc, also you cant edit it without superuesr priviledges
[06:15] <xibalba> bulmer, how do i install the new kernel?
[06:15] <xibalba> linux-image-amd640server
[06:15] <olskolirc> MasterShrek, there is one in fiesty but I don't see one on this Gutsy
[06:16] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, id suggest googling for vista in grub, see if the entry is missing something
[06:16] <nickrud> nibsa1242: I don't see anything wrong with that menu.lst structurally. I haven't seen the uuid's so I assume you have those right. And using a working sample helps
[06:16] <bulmer> xibalba I use the synaptic manager to get an update, anyhow i cant afford a 64bit yet..so not sure if its that much different
[06:16] <Lokii-> n2diy and thanks for not telling what i want to know but something that is of your own opinion you have been a big help thanks
[06:16] <xibalba> synaptic?
[06:16] <n2diy> Lokii-: scp is a secure version of ftp, whether works on an a ftp server, I can't tell you, it would be worth reading scp's man page to find out.
[06:16] <LurkersA> olskolirc: Try typing 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[06:16] <xibalba> i'm doing this all from the cmd line, no x/xorg
[06:16] <olskolirc> thanks
[06:16] <bulmer> xibalba:  then use  sudo apt-get update
[06:16] <Lokii-> i don't want fucking scp otherwise i woulda asked about scp
[06:17] <Lokii-> pardon my language
[06:17] <xibalba> bulmer, i try but it says. The following packages have been kept back:
[06:17] <xibalba>   linux-image-amd64-server
[06:17]  * LumBuntu is away: zzz
[06:17] <techgeek40> I'm hoping someone can help. I have a Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511 v2
[06:17] <Cpudan80> LurkersA: Should use gksudo (graphical)
[06:17] <navlop_> bulmer, which one do you want me to modify?
[06:17] <bulmer> xibalba: you are in a 64bit world, am not familiar with. sorry i cant assist
[06:17] <techgeek40> I've been trying to get this thing installed - anyone have anyone suggestions
[06:17] <n2diy> Lokii-: Sorry for answering your question with a question, just trying to help you avoid trouble.
[06:17] <nibsa1242> nickrud: yeah, at least I do my oddball configurations consistently
[06:17] <bazhang> !attitude | Lokii-
[06:17] <ubotu> Lokii-: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:17] <bulmer> navlop_: now modify the /etc/network/interfaces  for dhcp or static ip address you use for both comp1 and 2 , both are ubuntu right?
[06:18] <LurkersA> Cpudan80: I'm just familiar with gedit, horses for courses as they say
[06:18] <Kuwanger> How do I turn off the system bell?
[06:18] <navlop_> bulmer,
[06:18] <nickrud> nibsa1242: using a separate boot isn't oddball, just not necessary :)
[06:18] <bulmer> navlop_: and so as the server?
[06:18] <Sol> ballsack! new question!
[06:18] <telee> you guys know of a good game emulator for n64, nintendo, and super nintendo?
[06:18] <xibalba> how do i reconfigure the neetowkr>?
[06:18] <xibalba> just in the /etc/network/ scripts?
[06:18] <Cpudan80> Kuwanger: System - Prefs - Sound - System Beep
[06:18] <MasterShrek> telee, mupen64, nesterX, snes9x
[06:18] <jetscreamer> /etc/network/interfaces
[06:18] <bazhang> zsnes for snes telee
[06:18] <Sol> for some reason, i'm not allowed to write to a partition i just created?
[06:18] <bulmer> xibalba  /etc/network/interfaces file you edit it
[06:18] <xibalba> werd
[06:18] <xibalba> try
[06:18] <xibalba> ty*
[06:18] <telee> nice thanks, what about where do you get roms?
[06:18] <Cpudan80> Kuwanger: You can also go in and find the device and forbid it --- but this way works for most all beeps
[06:18] <navlop_> bulmer  comp1 & 2 ubuntu, server used the server package
[06:19] <Lokii-> n2diy i been getting flak from people all day about ftp and the point is scp uses ssh/scp login which is not an option it doesn't work on an ftp server and besides ftp is faster transfers
[06:19] <MasterShrek> oh yea zsnes not snes9x (thats windoze lulz)
[06:19] <bazhang> telee: not the channel for that
[06:19] <bulmer> xibalba also try to prefix your responses with the nick of the person you're talking to
[06:19] <Rudihawk> hi guys, is there a way to get NTFS write rights,while using the live CD? - I have a friend who needs to copy data from one drive to another
[06:19] <xibalba> bulmer, got it
[06:19] <Sol> for some reason, i'm not allowed to write to a partition i just created?
[06:19] <techgeek40> I have a Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511 v2 - any ideas?
[06:19] <bulmer> navlop_: as long as they are ubuntu, same file /etc/network/interfaces
[06:19] <Lokii-> all i would like to know is how to recursively get with ftp in command line as there is no decent ftp manager for nix
[06:19] <Grammaticus> It is a shame that Ubuntu disregards dial-up users.
[06:19] <n2diy> Lokii-: Ok, good luck.
[06:20] <Lokii-> i'm contemplating installing a server on my machine and using pftp to fxp to myself
[06:20] <jetscreamer> !info gftp
[06:20] <schnoowork> is it best to get java6 for ubuntu or java5 ?
[06:20] <Sol> any help?
[06:20] <Sol> any help?
[06:20] <Sol> crap sorry for the double
[06:20] <navlop_> bulmer looking at the file and they are all set to static addressa
[06:20] <bulmer> Grammaticus: they do welcome dsl and cable users though :)   look around ppp to help you solve modem connectivity
[06:20] <ubotu> gftp: X/GTK+ FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.18-16ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 44 kB, installed size 76 kB
[06:20] <xibalba> bulmer, man i love how this 606 LTS server wont be changed for soooo long
[06:20] <xibalba> finally some stability int he linux realm
[06:20] <telee> i understand
[06:20] <jetscreamer> mget
[06:20] <jetscreamer> man ftp
[06:20] <Kuwanger> Cpudan80: I'm using Xubuntu, so I don't have that specific menu option.  Do you know the program that's called?
[06:20] <Sol> for some reason, i'm not allowed to write to a partition i just created?
[06:21] <bulmer> xibalba: well there's still updates...i cant keep up myself
[06:21] <Grammaticus> bulmer, supposedly this modem is simply not compatible with the OS. My efforts were in vain.
[06:21] <nickrud> Sol: when you create a a partition and mount it with sudo, it has root permissions. You need to change the permissions of the directory you mounted it after you mount it.
[06:21] <jetscreamer> mkfs first eh
[06:21] <Cpudan80> Kuwanger: uhhh hang on
[06:21] <bulmer> navlop_:  pastebin  the /etc/network/interfaces contents
[06:21] <bulmer> Grammaticus: external modem?
[06:21] <Cpudan80> Kuwanger: gnome-sound-properties for me
[06:21] <bazhang> Grammaticus: not really a linux problem--contact the manufacturer who refuses to release drivers
[06:21] <Grammaticus> bulmer, internal.
[06:22] <Sol> nickrud: how would i go about doing that? i right clicked and it said i don't have permission to change permissions hahaha
[06:22] <Ch1ppy> hi, I have java installed but I cannot seem to get it running in firefox... can anyone help me out?
[06:22] <bulmer> Grammaticus: yep, since i can remember, internal s/w modems..we are SOL
[06:22] <nickrud> Sol: heh.  in a terminal, sudo chown  you:you /path/to/mountpoint
[06:22] <xibalba> bulmer, dxdt, ok i'm switching my IP in the network config area. going to reboot then i'll show you the error message
[06:22] <Sol> nickrud: ah ok thank you very much
[06:23] <`2wn> can anyone suggest a good gutsy soundcard thats on par with an audigy 2 value or better and inexpensive ?
[06:23] <bulmer> Ch1ppy: which java do you use?  type   java -version or java --version
[06:23] <Grammaticus> bulmer, yes, I have discovered the selfsame news of being 'SOL' after hours of delving into forums.
[06:23] <n2diy> Lokii-: I just did some Googling, maybe sftp could help you?
[06:23] <selig5>    Grammaticus you need to get an external hardware modem
[06:23] <Ch1ppy> bulmer: 1.5.0_13
[06:23] <bulmer> Grammaticus: you are blessed, now you know, we all suffered same back when modems are high speed at 2400 bps
[06:23] <biouser> anyone expertat making sound work in wine
[06:23] <biouser> ?
[06:24] <Cpudan80> `2wn: Audigys should work OK ...?
[06:24] <xibalba> how do i restart the networking stuff?
[06:24] <Decinoge> I'm still getting low and flutuating framerates on my game, can someone tell me how should i set up my nVidia driver?
[06:24] <Sol> nickrud: Wonderful thank you very much for the help
[06:24] <`2wn> Cpudan80, yes i dont have any audigy 2 values left over.  i am looking for something with equal or better sound and cheap
[06:24] <xibalba> say i didn't put a correct config in my config file and i need to reset the networking startupo w/out rebooting
[06:24] <navlop_> bulmer http://pastebin.com/d14061eb5
[06:24] <`2wn> Cpudan80, i'd kinda like something that sounds better than a standard audigy
[06:25] <Cpudan80> oh
[06:25] <Cpudan80> ehh dunno
[06:25] <bulmer> Ch1ppy: on your firefox   about:config   then java  and modify the line the java path to match
[06:25]  * nickrud remembers the awe of having text download faster than he could read it when he got his first 2400bps modem
[06:25] <xibalba> shit
[06:25] <Grammaticus> selig5, do you believe that a USB modem would be more compatible?
[06:25] <xibalba> now that i wiped out my network
[06:25] <xibalba> i try to sudo and it says
[06:25] <xibalba> unable to lookup hostname mx2 via gethostbyname()
[06:25] <xibalba> this is the issue i've run into before
[06:25] <LurkersA> Ch1ppy:  'sudo apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin'
[06:25] <MephistOdyssey> what is the best benchmark  utility for Gutsy
[06:26] <bulmer> navlop_: your network line in the server is wrong
[06:26] <xibalba> anyone run zimbra on ubuntu?
[06:27] <phreck> howabout a way to sync my windows mobile phone in linux
[06:27] <n2diy> ! zimbra
[06:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about zimbra - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:27] <phreck> or get my data plan running
[06:27] <mmordz22> wow
[06:27] <mmordz22> this is the biggest irc channel that i have ever seen
[06:27] <navlop_> bulmer which line is wrong
[06:27] <mmordz22> what it is ubuntu ?
[06:27] <bulmer> xibalba: wait a minute you are just sudo to a user? why do you get networking stuff? you are not going beyond a login locally noh?
[06:27] <bulmer> navlop_: your network line in the server is wrong
[06:27] <nickrud> !ubuntu | mmordz22
[06:27] <mmordz22> !ubuntu
[06:27] <n2diy> mmordz22: welcome to Ubuntu! We're slow tonight.
[06:27] <ubotu> mmordz22: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[06:27] <xibalba> i dont know why my ubuntu server installed an SMP kernel when there is only one cpu
[06:28] <mmordz22> ahh
[06:28] <xibalba> any ideaS? is it hard to move to 2 cpus?
[06:28] <mmordz22> u mean Linux ? that Unix clone ?
[06:28] <xibalba> i'm running it under vmware
[06:28] <CheeseGardener> I'm having trouble installing a 3rd party package for pidgin by the name of "bot sentry".  Could anyone give me a hand installing it?  I downloaded pidgin-dev, and compiled from source, but it has trouble making/installing the package for some reason.
[06:28] <n2diy> xibalba: I understand all kernels support SMP now.
[06:28] <bulmer> xibalba i dont know then, i have not had a dual core or dual cpu..
[06:28] <nibsa1242> nickrud: I got a grub error 1 that time, (filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist); could you give me the instructions again for installing grub to the mbr from inside of the chroot?
[06:28] <xibalba> weird though that it shows up SMP when i set vmware to only give it 1 cpu
[06:29] <xibalba> how do i restart the networking services?
[06:29] <xibalba> i want it to re-run the networking scripts
[06:29] <navlop_> bulmer what should it read then, followed example
[06:29] <mmordz22>  /etc/init.d networking restart
[06:29] <nickrud> nibsa1242: I cribbed it from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:29] <xibalba> ty much
[06:29] <xibalba> mmordz22
[06:29] <MasterShrek> xibalba, it doesnt matter, having an smp kernel on a single kernel machine is no problem at all
[06:29] <MasterShrek> single cpu machine****
[06:29] <mmordz22> xibalba: or something similar, i dont remember if ubuntu have init.d
[06:29] <n2diy> xibalba: I'm not sure of the command now, but it is something like /etc/network/services restart
[06:29] <nibsa1242> nickrud: ok thanks
[06:30] <MasterShrek> yes its init.d but its all weird now, kinda a pain in the butt
[06:30] <bulmer> navlop_: remove the network and broadcast lines from the server and see if it makes a diff
[06:30] <techgeek40> I'm at the art.gnome.org web site and I see this "drag and drop this into the gdmsetup tool" What is the gdmsetup tool?
[06:31] <xibalba> my networking config doesn't seem to be right, can i paste it here?
[06:31] <nickrud> xibalba: no, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:31] <whabo> Hello guys how can i open the new office 2007 format in openoffice?

[06:34] <mindflayerz> hi :P
[06:34] <nickrud> mmordz22: if it's windows, try it in vmware or virtualbox
[06:34] <bulmer> !patience | mmordz22
[06:34] <ubotu> mmordz22: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:34] <techgeek40> Darkmystere: LOL Well that depends,  what's the questiion
[06:34] <Librustralia> I ran fixboot c: and now I cant get into my computer!
[06:34] <Librustralia> I cant get into ubuntu or windows

[06:34] <Darkmystere> !repeat | mmordz22
[06:34] <Librustralia> and im on the live CD right now
[06:34] <ubotu> mmordz22: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[06:34] <mmordz22> nothing is working
[06:34] <techgeek40> Librustralia: did you do that for windows vista or xp?
[06:34] <Librustralia> techgeek40: XP
[06:35] <CheeseGardener> I'm having trouble installing a 3rd party package for pidgin by the name of "bot sentry".  Could anyone give me a hand installing it?  I downloaded pidgin-dev, and compiled from source, but it has trouble making/installing the package for some reason.
[06:35] <nickrud> mmordz22: if you paid $100, someone either cheated you or sold you support with it
[06:35] <JMhaha> mmordz22: why use wine? how about u use virtualbox or vmware rather than wine?
[06:35] <bulmer> mmordz22: you are trolling, you paid $100 ?
[06:35] <Darkmystere> techgeek: Well m y drive is soooooooo Fragmented that its crazy any advise i can still use  ubuntu but i cant move it to a partion until i defrag and trust me i never seen this many fragments in my life..
[06:35] <techgeek40> Lib: how many hard drives you have?
[06:35] <mmordz22> bulmer: yes. I have buy it on Ebay thing in my country for 100$.

[06:36] <JMhaha> Hi everybody, I wonder how to do a process clustering over all linux machines? Can virtualbox process being clustered with other linux machine as well?
[06:36] <mmordz22> bod_ "xterm -e bash" if i remember
[06:36] <JMhaha> Any recommendation of tools to do such process clsutering?
[06:36] <Librustralia> techgeek40: ok
[06:37] <techgeek40> Dark: Are you running any defrag utils?
[06:37] <soldats> bod_, i believe the gnome terminal has support for tabs
[06:37] <Chamunks> When i aptitude install (any flash plugin)  they dont seem to work at all.
[06:37] <Librustralia> i'll be right back

[06:37] <Chamunks> firefox seems to think i havnt done a damn thing.
[06:37] <nickrud> !brokenflash | Chamunks
[06:37] <ubotu> Chamunks: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[06:37] <Chamunks> but says its still there
[06:37] <LurkersA> Chamunks: 64 bit?
[06:37] <mmordz22> JMhaha: have u every try openMosix ?
[06:37] <mmordz22> ever*
[06:37] <Chamunks> LurkersA, 32 i think ill follow the ubotu thing
[06:37] <LurkersA> ok.
[06:37] <Chamunks> LurkersA, thanks
[06:37] <Darkmystere> techgeek40: well ive tried jkdefrag default defragger and perfect disk...
[06:38] <bulmer> JMhaha: i happen to be just looking at this  http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-ha/?ca=dgr-lnxw06apachewebcluster&S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=GR
[06:38] <nickrud> Chamunks: it's been a while since I looked at the page, but the blue text was important then
[06:38] <xibalba> why dont they make a 64BIT version of ZImbra for unbuntu! ugh!
[06:38] <Darkmystere> techgeek: all seem to leave me with files that cannot be defragged... 12GB space thats being used that i cant unfrag..
[06:38] <techgeek40> Dark: Hang tight - there is one put out that does a great job of defragging - it takes a few hours but it's better than XP's crappy defrag ut
[06:38] <bod_> cheers for the xterm command but that pens up a diff type of terminal,. wots the command for the default terminal?
[06:38] <navlop_> bulmer  trying to change file but it says its a readonly file
[06:38] <mmordz22> bod_ : try gnome-terminal
[06:38] <nickrud> xibalba: in a couple of years everyone will be making special installs for ubuntu for anything that matters :)
[06:39] <bulmer> navlop_: which file? and are you root?
[06:39] <bod_> cheers mmordz22
[06:39] <techgeek40> Dark: those are usually system files that generally most defrag utils will leave alone - but hang tight - let me look up the name of one I used a lot - it's pretty good - give me a few and let me boot my other server up
[06:39] <dushy> hi all.. i am having a problem installing vmware on my ubuntu.. can any one help me plz?
[06:39] <Darkmystere_> techgeek: 70              11.69 GB        \ubuntu\disks\root.disk
[06:39] <Chamunks> nickrud, thanks again!
[06:39] <bod_> one more thing,.,. if i run a program from terminal i dont get my prompt back,. when i press ctrl+z it closes the program it was running,.,. anyway of avoiding this?
[06:40] <xibalba> nickrud, they have one for the 32 bnut not 64bit
[06:40] <xibalba> ugh, means i have to redo my box agahin
[06:40] <bulmer> bod_  put a  & to put it in background
[06:40] <techgeek40> Dark: those are usually system files that generally most defrag utils will leave alone - but hang tight - let me look up the name of one I used a lot - it's pretty good - give me a few and let me boot my other server up

[06:41] <bod_> cheers bulmer
[06:41] <nickrud> fanat1k: sudo lshw
[06:41] <Darkmystere_> techgeek_ dont tell me ur using terminal... well if u saw this defrag picture ud scream...
[06:41] <nickrud> fanat1k: sudo lshw | less will let you page through it easily

[06:42] <bod_> wots wrong with it nickrud?
[06:42] <techgeek40> Dushy: here is a good site: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-vmware-tools-in-ubuntu.html
[06:42] <nickrud> dushy: you'll probably get better help on #vmware
[06:42] <Darkmystere_> bod_ Make a custom launcher with the command u use in terminal as the command to launch it
[06:42] <techgeek40> Dark: What's your virtual memory set to?
[06:42] <bod_> dunno how to do that
[06:42] <soldats> !vmware | dushy
[06:42] <ubotu> dushy: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[06:42] <fanat1k> nickrud: and could lshw to save info into a file?
[06:42] <nickrud> bod_: I don't know why it exited with a failure code, but ~/.xsession-errors near the end might tell you something
[06:43] <dushy> tecjgeel40: it say i cannnot install on i386 machine ..
[06:43] <nickrud> fanat1k: sudo lshw > lshw.txt
[06:43] <dushy> oops i mean techgeek40:
[06:43] <techgeek40> LOL no prob
[06:43] <randomwalker> i have a nautilus memory leak on gutsy
[06:43] <Chamunks> nickrud, thanks that worked
[06:43] <randomwalker> any idea how to fix it?
[06:43] <bod_> the exit output doesnt seem to do anything so im just gonna leave it ,.,. cheers guys
[06:43] <mindflayerz> oh man...so many people asking random ubuntu questions..
[06:43] <fanat1k> nickrud: thanks
[06:43] <Darkmystere_> techgeek: Dang i did a formatting about a wqeek and a half ago other problems when using gparted in ubuntu.... sec changing it to 1204 as i usualy habve it
[06:43] <randomwalker> right now it makes the computer pretty unusable
[06:43] <nickrud> Chamunks: yw, I've been having a low batting average tonight :)
[06:44] <dushy> techgeek40: i cannot install on i386 machine??
[06:44] <kebinusan> bleh I hate trying to get stuff to compile
[06:44] <Chamunks> nickrud, :P well thanks again i believe thats twice today youve assisted me thats some kinda awesome.
[06:44] <techgeek40> Dushy: read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=648656  then go to http://vmware.com
[06:45] <julabask> hey i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this problem that when ever my laptop starts up it does not have loading screen untill but i do see a logon screen and a loading screen after the logon screen?  its just black till the logon screen, although if i plug the laptop into an external monitor i do see the missing loading screen on the external monitor. my graphics card is the ati x1300 and i have the most upd
[06:45] <julabask> ate driver.
[06:45] <julz> i cant write to my psp, it says it's read only, but under properties it says i have full access. any help?
[06:45] <dushy> ok thanks techgeek40 i will do the same :)
[06:45] <Darkmystere_> techgeek: Ok 1204 was 672 system defaukt
[06:45] <fanat1k> nickrud: and maybe u will tell me how to choose parameters to show. I don't want to save so big file..
[06:46] <techgeek40> Dark: one trick with XP is to turn off the virtual memory and disable system restore - (make sure you apply those settings ) then shut down - reboot and then defrag
[06:46] <nickrud> fanat1k: not sure actually.  man lshw  has some stuff about choosing sections, but I didn't understand it on first reading and didn't study it
[06:46] <Darkmystere_> 34% of files were fragmented
[06:46] <techgeek40> The large chuncks can be from improper shutdowns
[06:46] <Darkmystere_> techgeek: i dont have system restore on lol
[06:46] <Librustralia> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[06:46] <RansidMeat> 'allo
[06:46] <JMhaha> mmordz22: Ops... looks complicated the openmosix, any step by step tutorial for ubuntu 7.10???
[06:46] <techgeek40> Dark: give me one more minute - I'll have the name for you
[06:46] <Darkmystere_> techgeek: and it usualy defrags whats that program u have
[06:46] <bulmer> navlop_: works now?
[06:46] <Darkmystere_> techgeek: Ok
[06:47] <RansidMeat> Quick question... i'm sure its been asked many times by now... do grub and vista play nice?
[06:47] <Librustralia> ahhh I ran FIXMBR and now when I boot, it says "invalid partition table"
[06:47] <Librustralia> (im on the live CD right now)
[06:47] <julabask> i use grub and vista just fine
[06:47] <Librustralia> :(
[06:47] <whe3ls> Hey - program to close a whole HDD and put it on another one?
[06:47] <whe3ls> clone
[06:47] <n2diy> ! grub | Librustralia
[06:47] <RansidMeat> julabask: did you have vista installed first?
[06:47] <Librustralia> n3diy: ok
[06:48] <mmordz22> JMhaha: i dunno :( u must comile your own kernel to get OpenMosix working. this is pretty easy but its hard IMO to make working kernel for Ubuntu - coz u need some magic options for loading "initrd.gz" on Ubuntu booting :/
[06:48] <Noogen> Ransid: yes i'm triple booting right now with grub (ubuntu/vista(vista/xp))
[06:48] <ubotu> Librustralia: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:48] <mmordz22> if u know how to make a kernel for ubuntu and how to handle with Ubuntu initrd.gz then this is easy
[06:48] <julabask> never a problem accept if you are tripple boot xp vista and linux like me it sends you into a second boot manager where you select xp and vista
[06:48] <Librustralia> ubotu: noo I can't access either of my partitions now
[06:48] <whe3ls> Hey - program to clone a whole HDD and put it on another one?
[06:48] <RansidMeat> Noogen: Righteous! I had quite the tribulations with installing XP after vista... I didnt want another headache.. Thanks for the information :)
[06:48] <bulmer> mmordz22: initrd.gz is a cpio archive
[06:49] <JMhaha> mmordz22: Any easier solution... I do not wanna my files corrupt after compiling openmosix into kernel
[06:49] <techgeek40> Dark: Well, it's the same one you used - sorry :< I flopped on that one
[06:49] <julabask> no
[06:49] <Librustralia> ubotu: because I ran FIXMBR and now the partition table is invalid
[06:49] <Noogen> Ransid: yes you do, or you'll have to use custom program to modify boot for vista
[06:49] <techgeek40> Lib: did you do Fix /mbr???
[06:49] <techgeek40> or fixmbr
[06:49] <Librustralia> lol is he really a bot?
[06:49] <bulmer> Librustralia: lets try this, boot into your liveCD
[06:49] <Darkmystere__> lib: who is a bot lol
[06:50] <Noogen> yeah because vista is the bad guy here, xp first allow vista to boot xp, then grub will boot vista
[06:50] <mmordz22> JMhaha: get some live-cd with openMosix support :)
[06:50] <Darkmystere__> techgeek: woot i got my 11GB back i think i delelted those files
[06:50] <n2diy> Ubotu is the bot.
[06:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is the bot. - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:50] <Librustralia> techgeek40: yes, it now says "invalid parition table" and i cant access any partition
[06:50] <Librustralia> bulmer: yes, im on my live cd right now
[06:50] <RoshanK> SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP I CAN'T BOOT VISTA AND UBUNTU TELLS ME THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR LOADING GNOME SETTINGS DAEMON (sorry for the caps, I just needed somone attention)
[06:50] <n2diy> Ubotu Ubotu
[06:50] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[06:50] <techgeek40> Lib: are you running any type of boot utilitiy?
[06:50] <bulmer> Librustralia: okay, now do a fdisk -l  and see if it recognizes your hard disk
[06:50] <RansidMeat> noogen: yes i do want a headache? ;) - and erm... grub DOES solve the boot problem I had with XP after vista, correcto? :)
[06:50] <Librustralia> bulmer: in the terminal?
[06:51] <Noogen> Ransid: no
[06:51] <RoshanK> RansidMeat how did you fix that
[06:51] <techgeek40> blumer: oops - forgot about that one - thanks
[06:51] <bulmer> Librustralia: yes in  a terminal
[06:51] <Noogen> Ransid: xp after vista is a problem
[06:51] <Darkmystere__> techgeek: my computer just sped up because i was down to 28GB Physical memory..
[06:51] <RoshanK> RansidMeat I'm having that problem right now
[06:51] <RansidMeat> Roshank: i used vista's restore
[06:51] <julabask> RansidMeat, no did not but vista has its own boot manager if you have both xp and vista which it automatically uses if you have those two so if you only have vista it will show in grub but if you have xp and vista grub will say after the linux selection windows os and that will send you to vista boot manager where you can select between xp and vista. this setup is very stable and has worked for me for a long time
[06:51] <RansidMeat> Roshank: pop in your vista disk and do a 'recover' or.. sumawhatsa
[06:51] <Eisenheim> is there ways to look at "traffic" on a network?
[06:51] <RoshanK> RansidMeat but the disc i got was a recovery disc from the manfacturer so I couldn't do it
[06:51] <techgeek40> Ran: the Bootrec.exe /FixMbr?
[06:52] <RansidMeat> Roshank: nah, thats the one i used, Toshiba's
[06:52] <bulmer> Eisenheim: you want to count bits?
[06:52] <julabask> hey i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this problem that when ever my laptop starts up it does not have loading screen untill but i do see a logon screen and a loading screen after the logon screen?  its just black till the logon screen, although if i plug the laptop into an external monitor i do see the missing loading screen on the external monitor. my graphics card is the ati x1300 and i have the most upd

[06:52] <techgeek40> Julabask: did you run compiz?
[06:52] <n2diy> Eisenheim: netstat?
[06:52] <RoshanK> RansidMeat: but it said recover Vista to such and such parition and then i would lose my data
[06:52] <Librustralia> bulmer: it says: fdisk: invalid option -- 1

[06:57] <Darkmystere__> techgeek40: U know the only real problem i have with ubuntu and my labtop?
[06:58] <soldats> julz, when iots plugged in can you do "fdisk -l" in terminal and see if its mounted. if its something like /sda/*** do "sudo chmod 777 /sda/***"
[06:58] <RansidMeat> RoshanK: darn... well i can safely assume you have data that you dont want to lose?
[06:58] <RoshanK> RansidMeat: exactly
[06:58] <Librustralia> is that bad? :(
[06:58] <RansidMeat> RoshanK: how much data?
[06:58] <bod_> its a bit different but bash supports .sh ,.,. cheers dude
[06:58] <julabask> RansidMeet, yea sometimes they shock you in how simple complicated task can be and the rest of the time they seem imposible

[06:59] <Noogen> can you access it?  buy an external hd and move it over there
[07:00] <bulmer> Librustralia: maybe there are some tools out there, but i have not used them myself, like ultimate boot cd, and partition magic maybe
[07:00] <Noogen> external hd are cheap these days
[07:00] <bsdnewbie> why vim not so great
[07:00] <n6hgg> Anyone know if mozilla seamonkey is on any repositories?  I can't install it because of a dependency hell.

[07:02] <RansidMeat> err whoops
[07:02] <julabask> bulmer, my menu.lst had no hidenmenu in it. the missing loading screen shows when i plug in my external crt but is not directed to my primary monitor whil awkwardly every thing else does go to my primary monitor
[07:02] <RansidMeat> i was gonna ask if you can get to it
[07:02] <Librustralia> Is anyone familiar with gparted, ultimate boot cd or patition magic?
[07:02] <RoshanK> yes RansidMeat
[07:02] <bulmer> julabask hiddenmenu
[07:02] <RoshanK> get to what?
[07:02] <Noogen> RoshanK: so what all do you have right now on the system? vista + linux + xp? or just vista + linux?
[07:02] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242, because Im gunna move Ubuntu to a partion so... i usualy have problems elaborate please
[07:03] <RoshanK> well i had vista + lunx and i just installed xp
[07:03] <RoshanK> but i can't boot into vista anymore
[07:03] <Noogen> so you can boot into xp?
[07:03] <RoshanK> so i am attempting to edit grub
[07:03] <dn4> anyone know how to watch divx feeds with mozilla?
[07:03] <Noogen> RoshanK, you can't
[07:03] <Noogen> your best bet is this: http://apcmag.com/5045/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux
[07:03] <nibsa1242> Darkmystere_ My /boot partition got formatted. So I had to reformat it, restore all the files it used to have on it, and reinstall grub. Most of that was done from inside the live cd in chroot.
[07:03] <Noogen> because of vista
[07:03] <julabask> yea i know their is no word that starts with an h even in my boot script for ubuntu standard boot so it seems to not be the problem
[07:04] <dn4> !divx

[07:04] <RansidMeat> RoshanK: i think my best advice is to back up anything especially important and go back to factory settings
[07:04] <Librustralia> Does anyone know how to access a hosed hardrive? :(
[07:04] <Noogen> you will need to learn to use EasyBCD  to edit boot for all 3, linux, vista and xp
[07:04] <Librustralia> or is familiar with gparted or other programs?
[07:04] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242, OMG i had somthing like that before but it was more around the bush lol
[07:04] <Noogen> using the vista (Windows boot manager)
[07:04] <julabask> bulmer, yea i know their is no word that starts with an h even in my boot script for ubuntu standard boot except the hd so it seems to not be the problem
[07:04] <fraroco> why my comments looks like if as nobody could read them
[07:04] <RoshanK> Noogen i am unable to do that
[07:04] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242, Want me to explain?
[07:05] <bulmer> julabask: then ctrl+alt+f1 to f4 and see if you see the streaming dmesg through it
[07:05] <RansidMeat> RoshanK: from there i would say install XP before anything else - from what i have seen you can go forward in time, not backwards
[07:05] <RoshanK> Noogen RansidMeat, i will try and borrow my friends Vista DVD if anything goes really wrong with this though
[07:05] <fraroco> hello everybody. can somebody help me with this? I have installed a molecular viewer program called SPDBV ... and when I run it the terminal say me "Fatal Error: Unable to create /home/#####/.Latitude as BootDrive, err=-5000"
[07:05] <Librustralia> Does anyone know how to use gparted?
[07:05] <nibsa1242> Darkmystere_ it was not fun, but everything seems to be fine now... I'm booting and its fdisking everything it seems. go ahead and explain
[07:05] <bulmer> Librustralia: you have to google for some help now..
[07:05] <RansidMeat> RoshanK: i'm sorry to hear you cant repair it thru vista's thingy ;\
[07:05] <Librustralia> bulmer: ok
[07:06] <musikgoat> fraroco: permissions on that directory? ls -al directory
[07:06] <RansidMeat> that seemed to fix me up right
[07:06] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: I use it
[07:06] <RoshanK> RansidMeat that's alright thank you though
[07:06] <RansidMeat> RoshanK: Good Luck!
[07:06] <Noogen> RoshanK: why not?  can you boot into xp?
[07:06] <Librustralia> nibsa1242: Do you know how to repair hardrives with it?
[07:06] <RoshanK> thanks you RansidMeat i may need it
[07:06] <julabask> bulmer, okay what is the streaming dmesg. after i do ctrl+alt+f1 to f4 will i loose my graphical user interface of the os or will i be fine and how do i get back if i do.

[07:08] <fraroco> musikgoat, what do you mean?
[07:08] <RansidMeat> RoshanK: perhaps thru the process of installing grub again or something... it will scan and SEE xp or vista or something and fix itself
[07:08] <RoshanK> RansidMeat, http://pastebin.com/m6eccdf57
[07:08] <RansidMeat> PM the code :)

[07:08] <Librustralia> nibsa1242: and then I couldnt access my ubuntu or windows partition
[07:08] <musikgoat> you may have to give write permissions to allow the program to write to that directory
[07:08] <musikgoat> fraroco:
[07:08] <RoshanK> that's what i get frm fdisk -l
[07:08] <Noogen> Librustrial: try fixboot in recovery console

[07:09] <nibsa1242> Darkmystere__: I have a battery backup to avoid those sorts of things.

[07:10] <xibalba> how do i get apt-get to upgrade linux-image-server ?
[07:10] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: do you know what your partition table looked like before, because if you didn't you really aren't going to be able to fix stuff... do a paste bin of sudo fdisk -l for me

[07:11] <josiah> how long does it normally take to rip a dvd to an avi/mp4?
[07:11] <dxdt> dn4: It is in either the good the bad or the ugly in synaptic. I don't remember which though,  search for those and if you want, just install them all.
[07:11] <xibalba> !upgrade kernel
[07:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrade kernel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:11] <Noogen> depend, i think fixboot c: would be better if c is your xp and active part
[07:11] <musikgoat> nice
[07:11] <Librustralia> nibsa1242: when I type fdisk -l, nothing comes up :(
[07:11] <odin_doma2> hi!

[07:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel upgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:11] <josiah> 2 passes
[07:11] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: you have to run it as root... sudo fdisk -l
[07:11] <RansidMeat> RoshanK
[07:11] <Librustralia> oh lol
[07:11] <xibalba> any takers on my newb question?
[07:11] <RansidMeat> dangit! sorry i keep hitting enter
[07:11] <xibalba> upgrading the kernel
[07:11] <RoshanK> yes RansidMeat
[07:11] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242, i get on the live cd about to break my labtop with drowning lol and i try the first thing came to mind guess what i found in those files windows didnt see the disk file that was missing so i drag it into the ubuntu file from the live cd (i mounted windows) and then reboot and try and go into ubuntu Guess what IT WORKS!!.... i was soo flustrated that it was that easy..
[07:12] <Darkmystere__> i know i know

[07:12] <xibalba> apt-get install linux-image-server?
[07:12] <RoshanK> RansidMeat were you about to say something?
[07:12] <Librustralia> nibsa1242: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51992/
[07:13] <RansidMeat> lol sorry :P - what i ran into is... grub is gonna tell (hd0,2) to boot, and if you installed XP to another partition but had a primary boot disk other than that which xp was being installed on... or perhaps another partition... the boot.ini has been written there
[07:13] <phreck> how do i change the size of the font in my TTY sessions
[07:13] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242,  u should understand my flustrosity by now... and now im having defragmenting problems... Soo annoying im begining to think Windows is Jealious..
[07:13] <RoshanK> RansidMeat so should i just try anyway?
[07:13] <RansidMeat> so essentially, hdd0,2 may have vista installed, but a boot.ini pointing to hdd1,2 or anywhere
[07:14] <RansidMeat> Soo
[07:14] <xibalba> how do i upgrade my kernel
[07:14] <RansidMeat> lets try to modify boot.ini
[07:14] <RansidMeat> look in your vista install
[07:14] <RansidMeat> locate 'c:\boot.ini' does it exist?
[07:14] <RoshanK> ohh right now for some reason i'm not able to mount ntfs partitions
[07:14] <dxdt> phreck: umm the only good way I know would be adding a framebuffer line to the kernel line like vga=773, however, this can cause issues on certain hardware.  For example my laptop has an ATI card that when I enable the framebuffer to get nice pretty tty's, I lose the abillity to sleep and hibernate
[07:14] <olskolirc^> test

[07:14] <RoshanK> well i dont know how to without it automatically doing it
[07:14] <josiah> none of these sites answer my question
[07:14] <RansidMeat> do you have more than 1 hdd in your computer?
[07:14] <RoshanK> RansidMeat no
[07:15] <RansidMeat> bollocks
[07:15] <pr0nGuy> I come back to my computer with a window that says "Monitor is in Power Save Mode". What is this about?
[07:15] <RansidMeat> well
[07:15] <soldats> dpms
[07:15] <Librustralia> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51992/ :(
[07:15] <fanat1k> Somebody could help me? I need the program that could view all computers in my network and to make a list of computers and it's hardware
[07:15] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: That doesn't look good. I'm not really sure how to help you, or if you can be helped. It looks like your partition table is messed up, and unless you know what cylinders the partitions started and stopped on before this mess its probably a lost cause.
[07:15] <RansidMeat> are you on a ubuntu livecd?
[07:15] <RoshanK> no
[07:15] <julabask> bulmer, it did not do anything
[07:15] <RansidMeat> are you in xp?
[07:15] <RoshanK> RansidMeat I appreciate your help but I have to sleep soon so I will try this tomorrow morning
[07:16] <RoshanK> no I'm in ubuntu
[07:16] <julabask> none of them did anything to my boot up
[07:16] <Librustralia> nibsa1242: oh damn :( would gparted be able to fix it?
[07:16] <RoshanK> goodnight and thank you very much for the help
[07:16] <RansidMeat> its all good
[07:16] <RansidMeat> i must warn you
[07:16] <dxdt> phreck: however, if you like to try it, check out /boot/grub/menu.lst and associated files and such
[07:16] <bulmer> julabask: you dont see your dmesg flow trhough those consoles?
[07:16] <RansidMeat> i'm not gonna be here tomorrow
[07:16] <RansidMeat> PM
[07:16] <xibalba> is it hard to upgrade the kernel?
[07:16] <jetscreamer> no
[07:16] <fanat1k> Somebody could help me? I need the program that could view all computers in my network and to make a list of computers and it's hardware for ubuntu...
[07:16] <julabask> bulmer, nope just black screen
[07:16] <RoshanK> RansidMeat ok I will try and find someone but I thank you dearly
[07:16] <nibsa1242> Darkmystere__: Windows is annoying, thats why I sacrificed a whole hd to it. Just to keep it separate.
[07:16] <xibalba> jetscreamer, how do you go about doing it
[07:16] <dxdt> xibalba: what does uname -a give you?  Are you on the latest kernel?  Mine usually updates automatically for me when needed through the update manager
[07:16] <bulmer> julabask pastebin your menu.lst
[07:17] <Noogen> Lib: what did you do?  agreed with nib, that part table is messed up
[07:17] <RansidMeat> roshank
[07:17] <RansidMeat> ahh crap!
[07:17] <RansidMeat> oh well
[07:17] <jason_123> in advance desktop effect i have wirte on screen fire selceted but nothing happens how i get ir to work
[07:17] <RansidMeat> fanat1k: hey try belarc advisor
[07:17] <Darkmystere__> Librustralia: Have u tried Force Mount if ur trying to mount it or u trying to defragment it? or just tell me ur problem even better
[07:17] <xibalba> dxdt it says, Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-26-server #1 SMP Thu Aug 3 04:09:15 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[07:17] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: I'm pretty sure a problem of that type is only fixable if you know where the boundaries of the partitions should be.
[07:17] <xibalba> dxdt, is this the most up2date version?
[07:17] <slak3> alguem on line ae?
[07:17] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242, well i was gunna make it so Ubuntu has 30GB and windows have 40GB
[07:18] <fanat1k> RansidMeat: do u know where to get it?
[07:18] <Darkmystere__> or 20
[07:18] <LurkersA> jason_123: have you installed CompizConfig?
[07:18] <julabask> bulmer, paste what in my menu.lst
[07:18] <Noogen> that's kind of hard to remember
[07:18] <jason_123> yes i do
[07:18] <slak3> anyone speak portuguese or spanish?
[07:18] <bulmer> julabask pastebin your menu.lst  everything, remove passwd if needed be
[07:18] <LurkersA> what is your set key combination?
[07:18] <dxdt> xibalba: no, at least, I'm on 2.6.22-14
[07:18] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: since you don't seem to know that, and I don't think there is a way to detect that automatically, you just need to pray you have a back up of anything important.
[07:18] <xibalba> dxdt , so how do i go about updating the kernel? when i do apt-get upgrade it says it isn't doing the pkg linux-image-server
[07:19] <julabask> bulmer, what is pastebin how do i do that
[07:19] <LurkersA> jason_123: for example, I have it mapped to <ctrl>+<Shift>+F
[07:19] <bulmer> !pastebin | julabask
[07:19] <ubotu> julabask: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:19] <dxdt> xibalba: oh, just do like dist-upgrade and I think that will then do it for you.
[07:19] <RansidMeat> fanat1k: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
[07:19] <dxdt> xibalba: instead of just upgrade
[07:19] <RansidMeat> are you in windows?
[07:19] <RansidMeat> i know... nasty question to ask in here:P
[07:20] <nibsa1242> Darkmystere__: I have 2 hds, a 250GB and a 320GB. Ubuntu boots from the 250, Win from the 320. Each has a swap partition on the other's hd, and there is a Ubuntu storage partition on Win's hd, however, for the most part they are separate.
[07:20] <Helmi> hey - can anyone tell me how i can install kde4 on a ubuntu gutsy installation for testing? So i can choose on boot/login wether to use kde or gnome?
[07:20] <xibalba> dxdt, what is the diff between dist-upgrade and upgrade?
[07:20] <Librustralia> Darkmystere__: Well I had a ubuntu 130GB partition and 20gb windows partition and my windows partition came up with a BSOD whenever I tried to boot into it. Then I came onto this channel and someone said I should use fixboot c: and i ran that and then I couldn't get into any partition and then I went on my livecd and went back on this channel and someone told me to run fixmbr and now when I book up my comp it says "inval
[07:20] <Librustralia> id partition table" :( :( :( and I can't access anything
[07:20] <fanat1k> RansidMeat: it is windows application :( I need to run it in Ubuntu
[07:20] <jason_123> lurkersa i dont know how do i find out the map key thing
[07:20] <RansidMeat> fanat1k: sorry, yes, it was my first instinct
[07:20] <dxdt> xibalba: check the man page for more details, but in short  in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages
[07:21] <liujie> hello ,everybaby
[07:21] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242,  im trying to work with what i got because im getting a Macbook Pro Probally this summer and gunna make this 1 almost entirely windows maybe like 10GB left for windows just in case for gaming ect
[07:21] <xibalba> awesome, i'll just wait a while to upgrade that though
[07:21] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242, * entirely ubuntu lol
[07:21] <fanat1k> RansidMeat: ok... I'll keep trying to find it...
[07:21] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: you are pretty much going to have to give up and reinstall Windows & Ubuntu. Install Windows 1st.
[07:21] <xibalba> dxdt, any huge security issue in the kernel between these 2 ersion?s
[07:21] <dxdt> Darkmystere__: that is probably a good call, rumor has it new bitchin' macbooks are going to be announced tomorrow.
[07:21] <jason_123> lurkersa  how do i map the keys
[07:21] <LurkersA> jason_123: go into your CompizConfig, click "Paint Fire On Desktop", Click into the 'Actions' Tab
[07:21] <Librustralia> argh
[07:22] <Librustralia> I don'thave any backups.....l
[07:22] <LurkersA> jason_123: then expand the "general" Settings
[07:22] <Librustralia> :(
[07:22] <dxdt> xibalba: ummm nothing major that I"ve ever seen.  I'm sure there are minor fixes here and there, but I haven't heard of a major kernel issue that has affected a normal user in a while actually.  I don't know.
[07:22] <nibsa1242> Darkmystere__: I have windows mainly for compatibility/ business reasons. However, I occasionally game in it.
[07:22] <Darkmystere__> dxdt: yep im gunna put ubuntu on macbook also =) its easier it has bootcamp lol also i want to experiment with a mac itd be my first time
[07:22] <LurkersA> Librustralia: Try SuperGRUB Disk
[07:22] <Librustralia> LurkersA: ok :D
[07:22] <julabask> bulmer i put my menu.lst in the pastebin do i just send you the link or what, the url is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51993/
[07:22] <LurkersA> Librustralia: It has a recover partition tables setting I believe
[07:23] <RansidMeat> all: thanks for the reinforcement that grub plays nice with vista, i'm gonna put ubuntu on my computer tomorrow :)
[07:23] <Librustralia> LurkersA: :O
[07:23] <dxdt> Darkmystere__: me too!  I was going to get another PC laptop, but then I thought "Hell I should get the mac just because it is something I've never done before in life"  so I'm gonna do the same probably shortly after the keynote speech so I don't get an old product instead of a new one
[07:23] <Darkmystere__> nibsa1242,  root.disk has serious fragmentation lol the entire defrag  step has been on c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk
[07:23] <xibalba> dxdt, great, i'm going to put my secondary mail server on ubuntu 6.06lts. i have high hopes from it
[07:23] <RansidMeat> erm computer == new laptop :\
[07:23] <xibalba> it appears to be the only frigging stable linux os that doesn't change every week and that i can keep in place for YEARS without having to touch it
[07:24] <xibalba> versus fedora crap N, which is frigging obsolete in 6 months
[07:24] <dxdt> xibalba: lol Debian
[07:24] <Darkmystere__> dxdt:lets go to ubuntu offtopic so we can talk and people wotn get on our ass lol
[07:24] <xibalba> i'm glad they have this LTS server edition
[07:24] <dxdt> xibalba: that is the whole joke with Debian, nothing changes ever
[07:24] <nibsa1242> LurkersA: Librustralia: I don't remember seeing an option for fix partition table in super grub disk, but it does have lots of  menus
[07:24] <jason_123> it say shift+super+c
[07:24] <RansidMeat> dxdt: you should get an old macbook for like 300 bucks and enjoy modding it out :D
[07:24] <jason_123> what is super
[07:24] <xibalba> dxdt, coming from BSD land i dont like things ot change too often
[07:24] <Librustralia> lurkersA: I think this might work, it says "recover your linux boot" :D
[07:24] <Librustralia> :(
[07:24] <bulmer> julabask: you were not looking carefully, i said hiddenmenu, it is there, it is commeted which is okay, now remove the quiet so you will see the dmesg at boot
[07:25] <LurkersA> Librustralia: Another option is PartedMagic. That definately has a recover partition table option
[07:25] <Darkmystere__> guys i need a life decision :D Should i use my last Burnable Cd For  1month On SuperGrub?
[07:25] <dxdt> RansidMeat: I thought about it actually, but then I decided I would just go for it and also reduce the price of the new macbook by using the University's discount policy and such.
[07:25] <timandtom> How do I update Wine?
[07:25] <LurkersA> jason_123: Your "Windows Key"
[07:25] <nibsa1242> How do I figure out what is locking my /var/cache/apt/archives/lock?
[07:25] <Librustralia> LurkersA: I'll try both
[07:25] <jason_123> ok ty
[07:25] <LurkersA> Librustralia: Ok
[07:25] <Darkmystere__> lurkers: I think windows trys to redeem its self with the super key lol
[07:25] <dxdt> nibsa1242: you have two programs open for updating.  Like synaptic open while trying to use apt-get or two synaptics, that sort of thing
[07:25] <LurkersA> jason_123: No Problem
[07:25] <bulmer> nibsa1242: normally synaptic manager and or dpkg
[07:25] <dxdt> nibsa1242: that is what that means
[07:26] <bulmer> or apt-get
[07:26] <julabask> bulmer, ok after i remove the quiet should i do anything else
[07:26] <bulmer> julabask: boot
[07:26] <Darkmystere__> Guys u know whats soo funny  microsoft doesnt trust its on Operating System it uses linux !!!
[07:26] <bulmer> julabask: save it and boot
[07:26] <nibsa1242> dxdt, bulmer I know what tends to lock it... but I don't have anything open other then a terminal and its locked
[07:27] <dxdt> nibsa1242: oh weird.  Are you forgetting to sudo?

[07:28] <LurkersA> Librustralia: Not sure
[07:28] <bulmer> julabask: save it and boot
[07:28] <timandtom> Librustralia: I doubt it, unless you have two CD drives. Even then, I don't know if you can.  Otherwise, no.

[07:34] <Librustralia> LurkersA: I might ask my neighbours if I could use their PC
[07:34] <nibsa1242> Librustralia: and you probably aren't going to be able to. Your partition table is pretty much beyond repair.
[07:34] <jason_123> it just has 3 wallpapers on it
[07:34] <Kalamansi> Gumby : right click to your desktop
[07:35] <LurkersA> Librustralia: That would be the way to go
[07:35] <Darkmystere__> Kalamansi: If no 1 else has helped u i will in a second Im not in Ubuntu >.>

[07:37] <Gumby> RandomOutburst: that said, sometimes wifi cards get stuck in monitor mode
[07:37] <Gumby> RandomOutburst: you'll probably have to bring the device down and then remove/reload the devices module
