[09:27] <MarcN> VSpike: not enough memory?
[09:27] <gravemind> dyrne: cool, thanks
[09:27] <Andeh> wow
[09:27] <fuzzy_logic> chell: no they use just the same
[09:27] <Andeh> Beryl actually works FASTER on gnome, not XFCE
[09:27] <chell> okay
[09:27] <fuzzy_logic> chell: you can add third party repositories
[09:27] <Andeh> How come beryl is super fast and the windows/text is laggy?
[09:27] <Andeh> lol
[09:27] <pitillo> (I read at nvidia website that there are drivers but not sure if that is the correct way to do that)
[09:27] <chell> I know
[09:27] <hamlet> chell: no. the new debian comes on 21 cd's
[09:27] <chell> lol
[09:27] <octol> gravemind; it should, and i think it will even write to the standard .bin/.cue format with the right switches
[09:27] <chell> I think I'm gonna install the Feisty RC tomorrow
[09:28] <fuzzy_logic> anyone have answer to my question?
[09:28] <zeroflag> how can I install kernel modules into the kernel?
[09:28] <abhi> how to play 3gp files
[09:28] <gravemind> octol: great!
[09:28] <chell> Is the RC out yet?
[09:28] <apereira> can,t start x11 on ubuntu for SPARC; what's the chipset for Sun XVR-550  graphics card?
[09:28] <gravemind> octol, can bin/cue be mounted?
[09:28] <shirish> igor47: shirish here
[09:28] <hamlet> fuzzy_logic: configure gdm to log your user automatically
[09:29] <octol> gravemind; yep, insert the "loopback kmod if you don't have it, then "mount -o loop"
[09:29] <Andeh> Hello
[09:29] <Andeh> How do i change how far apart my desktop icons are?
[09:29] <fuzzy_logic> hamlet: i'm still quite new to the ubuntu-thing.. so can you please explain how i can exacly do that?
[09:29] <gravemind> ok, I'll try it
[09:29] <_Neil> How do I choose edgy and fiesty to tell people my bug report affects both?
[09:29] <_Neil> the live cd wont boot past splash unless you mess with xorg.conf, a bug
[09:30] <yves__> hello everyone, how can I filter out the join / part messages in x-chat? I don't want to see them all the time
[09:30] <micahcowan> _Neil, just use the comments to say that.
[09:30] <VSpike> MarcN: Got 2 gig, should be enough :)
[09:30] <hamlet> fuzzy_logic: i don't know how it is called in the menus. should be something like "login window configuration" in "system" perhaps?
[09:30] <rambo3> _Neil, well know bugg
[09:30] <MarcN> VSpike: yeah.  Anything sucking up cpu time?  (run top)
[09:30] <octol> zero88; try modprobe, or less ideally insmod
[09:30] <jonbue> fuzzy if u look in administration and click login window look under the security tab
[09:30] <VSpike> MarcN: Nope
[09:30] <jonbue> it has a checkbox for automatic login
[09:31] <k6rfm> yves__: right click the channel name (in the tab) and choose the menu item that has the channel name. there will be a checkoff for join/part messages
[09:31] <VSpike> MarcN: I found some stuff indicating this was a network problem.  Tried the fixes suggested, but no joy.  Seems they don't work for everyone
[09:31] <MarcN> VSpike: does xterm startup fast?
[09:31] <shoot^> is there a way i can move my entire home directory to a different disk?
[09:31] <dyrne> shoot^: yes
[09:32] <k6rfm> shoot^: cp -r, tar it up and untar it over there, many others
[09:32] <YetiChick> shoot^:  What dyrne said...  Slow typing today, I guess.
[09:32] <yves__> k6rfm, thank you! will try it now
[09:32] <octol> shoot^; tar -cvf /home/shoot/ will likely do it
[09:32] <shoot^> sweet, cheers
[09:32] <shoot^> then just edit the fstab entry?
[09:32] <MarcN> shoot^:  I like to use rsync -azv /here /there
[09:32] <dyrne> shoot^: or http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[09:32] <hamlet> shoot^: don't follow octol's advice
[09:33] <VSpike> MarcN: It's a bit random.  xterm took five seconds to start the first time, then only 1 or 2 subsequently.  xeyes and xclock start almost right away.  konsole took ages to start...
[09:33] <jmsebolt> I have a question regarding the Desktop Effects in Feisty. I have them enabled, and they are working great (even on my ATI mobility!)...As I understand it, these are compiz effect? Are there any other ones that can be activated? Add on's perhaps?
[09:33] <VSpike> MarcN: now may not be the best time to test as I have something hammering the disk
[09:33] <octol> hamlet; why is tarring a home dir "bad advice" ?
[09:33] <pitillo> can anyone give me a clue about nforce chipset and ubuntu edgy?
[09:33] <hamlet> octol: the idea is perfect. the command - not
[09:33] <yves__> k6rfm, there is no such option on rightclicking the channels name in the tab (#ubuntu). I am using XChat-GNOME 0.16
[09:34] <MarcN> VSpike: hammering on a disk will slow down app startups...
[09:34] <hamlet> octol: you may try it for yourself if you are right now for in linux :-)
[09:34] <kuba> hello
[09:34] <dyrne> kuba: hey
[09:34] <octol> hamlet; yes, it is not grammatically correct
[09:34] <brynee> hi
[09:35] <kuba> hay
[09:35] <octol> tar -cvf file /home/
[09:35] <kuba> andbye
[09:35] <VSpike> MarcN: Yeah. It does happen even when that's not running :) I just mean now is not a good time to diagnose/compare
[09:35] <hamlet> octol: you will wonder how much people don't understand what they type and see all this as some magic mumbo-jumbo...
[09:35] <_Neil> micahcowan: Insists I choose a package name for the report, but I don't know what causes it
[09:35] <k6rfm> shoot^: after you get the data moved you can use system>administration>users and groups to change the home directory (in the Advanced tab on the account properties)
[09:35] <_Neil> all i know is, it happens with fiesty and edgy
[09:36] <k6rfm> shoot^: or just edit /etc/passwd if you're comfortable with that
[09:36] <jonbue> this is wierd i tried to open a port with sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp dport 6881 -j ACCEPT but when i go to see if the ports open it doesnt say it is how do i permanently open the port?
[09:36] <brynee> does anybody here know how to install beryl so it works on ubuntu 6.10?
[09:36] <octol> hamlet; good point, duly noted
[09:36] <ror> is there an easy way to go to 16bpp without editting xorg.conf
[09:36] <Alam_Ubuntu> ror, no
[09:37] <chaostrophy> brynee, i just installed beryl and the emerald-theme through apt get and it showed up in my kde menu
[09:37] <chaostrophy> and it works, although a bit buggy
[09:37] <k6rfm> yves__: I have it in XChat 2.6.8 (non-GNOME).  I have noticed it comes, goes, and moves around in various versions
[09:38] <yves__> ok, I will install that
[09:38] <bowman_> rrakis.es
[09:38] <wo0lverine> re
[09:39] <kuba> hey.i've got a question(sorry if stupid:) -how can i run internet pages in terminal?
[09:39] <hamlet> kuba: use text based web browser. like elinks, lynks...
[09:39] <Rawn027> i have edgy running on raid and lvm
[09:39] <octol> kuba; try the lynx or links cli broowsers if you have them installed
 how buggy is it?
[09:39] <Rawn027> ubuntu installed lilo by default
[09:40] <abhi> how to play 3gp files
[09:40] <dyrne> kuba: programs: either lynx or links or links2  etc.  just to download something use wget http://whatever
[09:40] <RickJones> how do you enable ntfs access on ubuntu ? i want to delete some files on a ntfs usb external drive, but i do not have access due to permissions having it set to read only
[09:40] <Rawn027> i am trying to use xen which required grub
[09:40] <Rawn027> can i get grub working with ubuntu
[09:40] <micahcowan> _Neil, package name  != Ubuntu release version. If you've chosen ubuntu as the target, though, it shouldn't be /requiring/ a package name: it's up the Triage team to determine that if the user doesn't.
 can i get grub working with ubuntu < yes
[09:40] <Andeh> Hello
[09:40] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: how could I go about doing that
[09:40] <Rawn027> just point me in the right direction :)
[09:41] <Zoohouse> When it says "Find the Java installation Dir" how do I go about looking that up???
[09:41] <Andeh> I want to uninstall KDE and XFCE from my Ubuntu install. How do i do that?
[09:41] <_Neil> micahcowan: thanks, I refreshed and it let me submit 'dont know' as the bullet, so all is well :)
[09:41] <kuba> dyrne: ok what is lynx?:)
[09:41] <Ghaldez> lo
 Ghaldez: how could I go about doing that < install ubuntu ;) ubuntu uses grub
[09:41] <hamlet> Andeh: sudo apt-get instal kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop
[09:41] <dyrne> Andeh: remove a common dependancy like a gtk lib for xfce or qt i guess for kde
 dyrne: ok what is lynx?:) < a browser
[09:41] <chaostrophy> lnyx is a command line web browser
[09:41] <hamlet> Andeh: sorry
[09:41] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: I just installed ubuntu onto a RAID with LVM and LILO was installed
[09:41] <octol> RickJones; last time i checked NTFS write support was still very unstable under linux
[09:42] <mwe> Andeh: kdelibs. remove that
[09:42] <dyrne> kuba: just a text based browser
[09:42] <RickJones> so i need to find some one with a windows box and plug it up to it ?
[09:42] <kuba> dyrne: thanks
[09:42] <archwolf> Hey, does anyone here know anything about compatibility with Ubuntu and the Samsumg SGH-i607 phone? (Samsung Blackjack)?
[09:42] <salty-horse> hi. when installing nvidia-glx and changing xorg.conf to run the "nvidia" driver. i'm getting the following error. any ideas? "Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-7184, but this X module has the version 1.0-9631"
 do you have the right bios boot option?
[09:42] <dyrne> !ntfs-3g | RickJones
[09:42] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: BIOS option?
[09:42] <ubotu> RickJones: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[09:42] <archwolf> I installed synce-kde, but I don't know how to use it
[09:42] <Rawn027> grub is a bootloader
[09:42] <octol> RickJones; you can do it with the correct support module, but it is risky, and possibly recommended to do under a native Win environemnt
 Ghaldez: BIOS option?< when you start your pc there is the frst screen with a big yellow "BIOS" logo
[09:43] <livingdaylight> hello guys
[09:43] <pitillo> the only way to get it working is moving to other distro? (nforce400)
[09:43] <kuba> dyrne:ok it's working.but if i would like just type an adress and that page show me in my browser(for example mozilla)??
[09:43] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: how the heck is the bios going to tell ubuntu which bootloader to install to the MBR?
[09:44] <RickJones> ok, thanks
[09:44] <livingdaylight> i haved to install a new os, should i wait for ubuntu release or can i just go ahead now?
[09:44] <Rawn027> The computer boots just fine with lilo
[09:44] <Rawn027> i need grub to run xen
[09:44] <dyrne> kuba: use the 'g' button and a url field will appear
[09:44] <Rawn027> do you know what Xen is?
[09:44] <dyrne> kuba: also like lynx googl.eom  should work when you launch it
[09:44] <rambo3> well this was the easyes install of java flash and mp3 . on feisty
[09:45] <dyrne> kuba: well itll work as long as you can type better than i can
[09:45] <Rawn027> i already tried to use mbootpack to make a conglomerate kernel that contains both the xen kernel and the vmlinux kernel for the dom0 no such luck
[09:45] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: any ideas now that you got that BIOS idea out of your head?
 yes ...,i mean i got ubuntu and xen on 2 sata hdd's and grub wasn't loading so i set the bios boot option so tha he first boots ubuntu and friom the grub i can choose xen
[09:46] <Rawn027> i know how to use grub as well as Xen
[09:46] <Rawn027> i was wondering if there was any secret to useing grub in raid/lvm setup
[09:46] <Rawn027> you might not have LVM
[09:46] <livingdaylight> Guys, can someone tell me
[09:46] <Martyo> what time is the feisty fawn release candidate likely to become available tonight?
[09:47] <RickJones> octol, that require a reboot ?
[09:47] <nox-Hand> Anyone want to help me get X starting? I have a pastebin with my error :D http://paste.stgraber.org/426
[09:47] <firefly2442> Anyone know how to put inter-document links in an open office document?
[09:47] <solique> Martyo: It's been postponed
[09:47] <mjr> Rawn027, there's the secret that grub can't read lvm or raid (except raid-1, where it actually just reads one part of the mirror)
[09:47] <dyrne> who had the java question?
[09:47] <octol> RickJones; inserting a kernel module shouldn't require a reboot, but the drive will have to remounted
[09:47] <Martyo> solique: ah, really? where does it say that?
[09:47] <Rawn027> mjr: so if my boot is on raid 1 i should be ok?
[09:47] <mjr> Rawn027, yes
[09:47] <RickJones> ok just cehecking
[09:48] <Rawn027> could i specify /dev/sda instead of /dev/md0?
[09:48] <RickJones> checking*
[09:48] <livingdaylight> are people using feisty here already?
[09:48] <Rawn027> mjr: and what do i specify my root as? /dev/md3?
[09:48] <solique> Martyo: On the dev mailing list. Apparently there are issues with the network connection tool and some ATA drivers. Should be out in a couple of days apparently
[09:48] <jshriver> How can you free up memory or see what's really consuming so much? I check "free" and it seems over 2/3 of my memory is used, so I checked "top" and only 1-2 processes use any measurable amount 1-2% each... so what's eating my memory?
[09:48] <TheSilentW> hi, is it possible to add a red line across the console below the line that it actually got a user input? so i can see my own commands quickly
[09:48] <Martyo> solique: ah, thanks!
[09:49] <solique> Martyo: np :)
[09:49] <firefly2442> jshriver: it's probably cached for use later if you use that application
[09:49] <mjr> Rawn027, hmh? If you mean where you should install grub, yes, probably /dev/sda; and as root, well, yes, /dev/mdX, where X is appropriate
[09:49] <Rawn027> ok sounds good
[09:49] <dyrne> jshriver: it is sort of 'caching' stuff its not necesarily using all that.
[09:49] <Rawn027> thanks
[09:49] <zeroflag> someone tell me how to activate kernel modules before I go nuts!
[09:49] <octol> jshriver; "ps -uax" at the cli should give you detailed memory/ cpu usage
[09:49] <jshriver> thanks
[09:50] <jshriver> is there a way of clearing the cache? I'm about to run some intensive code and need all the memory I can get
[09:50] <hamlet> TheSilentW: you are talking about program X?
[09:50] <jshriver> right now only firefox and Xorg are taking up anything really
[09:50] <livingdaylight> can someone tell me: is Feisty safe already?
[09:50] <fsg> is there a way tu run and edit c# code in ubuntu
[09:50] <TheSilentW> hamlet, i am talking about the normal....console
[09:50] <fsg> ??
[09:50] <hamlet> TheSilentW: no. you can't
[09:51] <jshriver> fsg: mono
[09:51] <TheSilentW> hamlet, or... maybe a console mod?
[09:51] <dyrne> jshriver: it will switch it out. the ram isnt doing anything any good if its not being used so it caches some stuff. as soon as you run an app that will have priority
[09:51] <fsg> jshriver: thanks
[09:51] <jshriver> mono-mcs and mono-gmcs
[09:51] <MajorPayne> When 7.10 comes out can I do an upgrade over the internet like Debian or must I download a new cd and upgrade that way?   When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[09:55] <Rawn027> tonyyarusso: is taking care of business
[09:55] <cyberkun> yea I will have some real questions shortly

[09:55] <gikid> why?
[09:55] <gikid> why?
[09:55] <gikid> why?
[09:56] <zeroflag> octol: should I expect some kind of reply from the tool?
[09:56] <gikid> sorry
[09:56] <gikid> lol
[09:56] <Aftermath> kek
[09:56] <octol> zeroflag; i think it only ouputs on error

[09:59] <mauriicio> ok
[09:59] <gikid> i'd run around in public naked
[09:59] <archwolf> Is there a way to map usb ports to COM ports?  Wine doesn't support USB, apparently.
[09:59] <zeroflag> octol: lsmod says that snd_hda_intel is loaded but not used. and I can't get alsa to use it...
[09:59] <augusto_feisty> mauriicio: what do u need??
[09:59] <gRaCi0s0> someone who could help me with a transparent caching squid proxy ?
[10:00] <ts_> user
[10:00] <octol> zeroflag; you may need to rerun your alsa config scripts after inserting the new module
[10:00] <ts_> help
[10:00] <ts_> ?
[10:00] <gRaCi0s0> someone who could help me with a transparent caching squid proxy ?

[10:01] <rambo3> gRaCi0s0, #squid
[10:01] <Tribal> nothing sorry

[10:01] <mwe> Tribal: I guess he meant to talk to ts_
[10:02] <sniper_> :/
[10:02] <MarkFeathers> Does anyone in here know how many TOR exit nodes there are?
[10:02] <zeroflag> octol: alsamixer runs in the terminal but gnome's alsa mixer crashes when I try to set up my sound device...
[10:02] <mauriicio> augusto_feisty, my system don't iniciate !
[10:02] <K3rl0u4rn> cheers channel :)
[10:02] <Pricey> mauriicio, #ubuntu+1 for feisty please.
[10:02] <zeroflag> octol: and other tools wont recognize the sound device either...
[10:03] <K3rl0u4rn> I have a CD with read errors which I would like to build an as close as possible iso image
[10:03] <firefly2442> Anyone know how I can add links into my document in the table of contents in open office?
[10:03] <mauriicio> ok
[10:03] <archwolf> Anyone know anything about this?
[10:03] <K3rl0u4rn> I can not cat /dev/cdrom to an iso file because of  the read errors
[10:03] <K3rl0u4rn> what should I do ?
[10:03] <sonictwin> if i have read-only access to an NTFS partition on my drive, can i copy files to linux partitions?
[10:03] <augusto_feisty> mauriicio: what it happens?
[10:03] <octol> zeroflag; it crashes ? I believe "alsamixer" is a terminal program
[10:04] <sonictwin> i can't access my partition right now but i want to copy music from windowsXP to linux
[10:04] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: isn't it a symlink?
[10:04] <kane77> sonictwin, yes you can
[10:04] <VSpike> sonictwin: of course
[10:04] <augusto_feisty> mauriicio: it appears some messages?
[10:04] <K3rl0u4rn> mwe: what ?
[10:04] <zeroflag> octol: it is and it works. but all the other tools can't open the sound device.
[10:04] <sonictwin> the ntfs partition is under /dev/hda2
[10:04] <soho> how can i tell compiz-tray-icon to directly go to the tray instead of showing a preferences-window?
[10:04] <zeroflag> octol: uhm, what IS the sound device? maybe some permission issue (I ran alsamixer as root)...
[10:05] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: /dev/cdrom, isn't it just a symlink pointing to the real device file?
[10:05] <sonictwin> here is my /etc/fstab line for the drive
[10:05] <Pricey> augusto_feisty, mauriicio feisty support in #ubuntu+1 please. It is not finished yet.
[10:05] <sonictwin> UUID=4054F6DF54F6D71E /mnt/ntfs ntfs defaults 0 0
[10:05] <zeroflag> octol: HAH! alsamixer doesn't work as user, only as root.
[10:05] <K3rl0u4rn> mwe: yes it is, /dev/cdrom points to hdb but this is not a problem :) the CD has been used too much :)
[10:05] <augusto_feisty> \j #ubuntu+1
[10:05] <mwe> zeroflag: It's supposed to work as normal user, though.
[10:06] <Pricey> archwolf, What's up?
[10:06] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: oh
[10:06] <zeroflag> mwe: I probably used too much root when I was setting it up. any idea which device it is?
[10:06] <archwolf> Pricey: trying to get wine to recognize usb devices, which it apparently doesn't do
[10:06] <apollo2011> I am having a problem that I guess is fair game for both the Edgy and the Feisty chatrooms. I have been trying for quite some time to get nvidia-glx to work. I had it working and I did some kind of update and it broke and I am finally getting around to actually figuring out the problem. My card (GeForce3 Ti200) is still listed as a supported card on the nVidia site, but I can't get any versions of the driver to work. I am now having the same results o
[10:06] <apollo2011> n Feisty as I did on Edgy. When using the 9631 driver, everything loads but the gamma appears off and nothing I do fixes it. 9755 does not run, and several other versions give one of those two results.
[10:07] <Rawn027> mjr: when trying to run grub-install i get the following
[10:07] <Rawn027> mjr: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[10:07] <mwe> zeroflag: hmm. well /dev/snd/*
[10:07] <Pricey> archwolf, Are there any reports at all of it working? Because I doubt you'll have much help here sorry.
[10:07] <octol> I beleieve the typical device files affected my alsa  are /dev/mixer and in /dev/sound & /dev/snd
[10:07] <Thug-N-Me> ls sata II same as sata ?
[10:07] <mwe> zeroflag: is your user in the audio group?
[10:07] <octol> s/my/by/ , even
[10:08] <mwe> zeroflag: type groups as the user to check
[10:08] <defjux> i think if its possible VMWare is a LOT better than wine.
[10:09] <mwe> zeroflag: or just 'groups username' as any user
[10:09] <zeroflag> mwe: no, how can I add it?
[10:09] <archwolf> it seems like forum posts are telling me that it might work if I can get usb mapped to com ports
[10:09] <archwolf> but i don't know how to do that
[10:09] <mwe> defjux: I think it depends on the job. It uses a lot of resources
[10:09] <mwe> zeroflag: sudo gpasswd -a username audio
[10:10] <mwe> zeroflag: then relogin
[10:10] <mwe> zeroflag: I bet it will work then
[10:10] <nodonnel> problem: i have alsa-base installed, along with several softsynths including alsa modular, but when i try to start alsa modular i get an error saying that the alsa sequencer cannot be found. any suggestions?
[10:11] <octol> apollo2011; I had a similiar issue with the nvidia drivers, they stopped support for a lot of the older cards at the "7174" release, so I had to revert to that build
[10:12] <gEveze316> yaraklarrrrrr
[10:12] <sonictwin> how safe is write access to NTFS?
[10:12] <whatspy> it slipped my memory... the "find" syntax to list files containing text "foo"
[10:12] <mwe> sonictwin: safe if you use ntfs-3g at least
[10:12] <Pricey> whatspy, locate ?
[10:12] <mwe> !ntfs-3g | sonictwin
[10:12] <ubotu> sonictwin: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[10:12] <Pricey> sonictwin, like any filesysytem keep backups
[10:12] <bigmb> Does lspci tell me what motherboard I have?
[10:12] <apollo2011> octol: That is kind of what I have been reading, but nvidia maintains a supported card list for each version of the driver, and my card is consistently listed as being supported.
[10:13] <sonictwin> mwe: i just installed it with apt-get, just wanted to ask before i restarted
[10:13] <octol> I'll second Pricey's advice on keeping backups before using ntfs write
[10:13] <sonictwin> and i did edit my /etc/fstab
[10:13] <whatspy> Pricey: for text within files ?
[10:13] <Pricey> whatspy, ah no then :P
[10:13] <mwe> sonictwin: always keep backups of critical files, though ;) linux and windows alike
[10:14] <cara> Hi
[10:14] <whatspy> Pricey: oops, I should have been more specific
[10:14] <cara> I just can't get ubuntu to see my hard drive
[10:14] <K3rl0u4rn> so how do I build an iso of an old CD with read errors ?
[10:14] <nodonnel> should ams work right away after installation with synaptic?
[10:14] <Jaxster> how do I open a .bin file?
[10:14] <zeroflag> mwe: thank you SO much. I was about to go nuts about this. -_-
[10:14] <Jaxster> in terminal?
[10:14] <ardchoille> K3rl0u4rn: I would think that, since an ISO building app would need to read the CD, you may be scewed.
[10:15] <pitillo> !nforce
[10:15] <mwe> zeroflag: heh. np
[10:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nforce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:15] <ardchoille> s/scewed/screwed/
[10:15] <octol> apollo2011; nvidia is swamped with work on their Vista drivers, I think unfortunately linux users with older cards are low priority for them
[10:15] <tts> after editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. is there any command i should run to update it. or is it just a reboot ?
[10:15] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: I'd probably copy everything readable from the disc and build a new ISO from that directory.
[10:15] <K3rl0u4rn> ardchoille: would it be possible to copy a single track of the CD ?
[10:16] <ardchoille> K3rl0u4rn: I wouldn't know how.
[10:16] <sonictwin> mwe, thanks :-)
[10:16] <mwe> tts: you don't need to reboot. just restart gdm
[10:16] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: Is this an audio CD?
[10:16] <defjux> [YES VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS AND ITS NAME IS OPEN SOURCE]
[10:16] <mwe> sonictwin: yw
[10:16] <tts> ok thanks
[10:17] <sonictwin> tts, ctrl + alt + bkspc
[10:17] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: no, a game
[10:17] <hamlet> tts: either press alt+ctrl+backspace (if you are in graphical mode) or "sudo /etc/init.d.gdm restart" or reboot the computer
[10:18] <mwe> It's funny. I'm almost positive ctrl-alt-bs doesn't reload the config for me. only sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:18] <ardchoille> /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:18] <mwe> at least last I messed with xorg.conf
[10:18] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: Ugh.  Not good.  I'd probably try to repair the disc with a bufing tool rather than make a copy of that disc.  You might be able to recover all of the files with a recovery tool, but if there's copy protection on the disc...
[10:19] <pitillo> may be I need to use ubuntu 64bits version with nforce400?
[10:19] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: Wait...  Is the disc damaged, or are you simply getting read errors trying to copy it?
[10:19] <defjux> ok, i added a repository so when i install software or update it always hangs on some setiathome thing, where do i go to remove that repository?
[10:19] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: no copy protection, what do you call a recovery tool ?
[10:19] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: yes, the disk is damaged :)
[10:19] <MikeyMike> ok so ... i need help haha
[10:20] <mwe> defjux: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list is one way
[10:20] <MikeyMike> actually.... i'll get the person in who needs the help ... im a middleman
[10:20] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: I mean I can see it's really old (don't have the words for this, sorry)
[10:20] <Jaxster> how do I open a .bin in terminal?
[10:20] <defjux> thanks mwe
[10:20] <mwe> defjux: I believe you can do it from synaptic as well, though. I don't use that though
[10:20] <YetiChick> Well, there are quite a few cool tools which use multiple passes and re-reads to attempt to get files off of a damaged disc.  But most games require *all* of their files, or they have big problems.
[10:21] <Ahorner> mesa need helpsa
[10:21] <MikeyMike> where do you set dns at if using dhcp client?
[10:21] <dyrne> Jaxster: an image?
[10:21] <octol> K3rl0u4rn; your local video store can probably recover the disc for a few bucks if it's just superficial scratches
[10:21] <Jaxster> is there anything I can just run it with ?
[10:21] <Jaxster> not in terminal maybe?
[10:21] <MikeyMike> ip addresses work in firefox and xchat and anything else.... but if using names it wont connect.... so i know its a dns issue.... but this person is using DHCLIENT with rasusb.....
[10:21] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: one chance would be only audio tracks are damaged, right ? maybe I can image the data track only ?
[10:21] <octol> dd and other tools can be used as a last resort
[10:21] <Ahorner> will somebody help me
[10:21] <Jaxster> like Alcohol 120% would in XP, can I mount the .bin to a virtual drive somehow?
[10:22] <Winball> I've installed aq2(quake2). And now I cant run ./aq2   It worked fine in edgy eft
[10:22] <cara> same here
[10:22] <MikeyMike> here she is
[10:22] <cara> I've been here like three times
[10:22] <Ahorner> im running wine and i keep getting a x11 driver missing even though ive reinstalled it multiple times
[10:22] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  So a damaged game disc is probably dead unless you can restore the disc.  And octol said what I was going to.  You can also buy a disc restoration kit for a fairly small amount.
[10:22] <K3rl0u4rn> octol: isn't dd a tool to write 0s on the harddrive ?
[10:22] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: well can't you just put it in and see what the file manager can handle?
[10:22] <Ahorner> reinstalled wine i mean
[10:22] <rambo3> !iso | JackInTheGreen
[10:22] <ubotu> JackInTheGreen: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:22] <rambo3> !iso | Jaxster
[10:22] <ubotu> Jaxster: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:22] <Ahorner> wow
[10:22] <cara> with the same problem and searched forums and nothing seems to work
[10:22] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  yes, some tools might just be able to read one track and copy it.
[10:23] <octol> Jaxster; you can do this, you will need loopback support as a module or kernel driver, and the "mount" command
[10:23] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  If I recall, the original Tomb raider CD worked that way.  About 8 audio tracks and a single data track.
[10:23] <mztriz> what is vmnet8?
[10:23] <cara> something for vmware
[10:23] <dave132> how do i stop the movie player from trying to play the real video files?
[10:23] <cara> a module that it builds for the network interface it uses
[10:24] <YetiChick> mztriz:  It's one of vmware's virtual network devices.
[10:24] <K3rl0u4rn> mwe: will try
[10:24] <mwe> octol: isn't loopback support enabled by default?
[10:24] <MikeyMike> ....... "i didnt do anything"
[10:24] <octol> K3rl0u4rn; not really, dd can make cdrom images, but it will not do recovery routines that other cd specific imaging tools have.
[10:24] <mztriz> KLDFJKDLSJFklsdjfksd
[10:24] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: c&c and red alert did it this way also
[10:25] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  Those are also quite ancient, in game terms.  :)  But yes, a lot of older games did.
[10:25] <billy> how do I backup the hidden home files?  cp -a?
[10:25] <octol> mwe; depends on your linux
[10:25] <d00d> Can someone help me i cant get x to load in livecd im runing a GeForce 8800 Intel Core 2 Extreme 6800
[10:25] <sonictwin> i'm copying my music right now, sweet!
[10:25] <guitarra> Hi. I am using ubuntu 6.10, on an Intel machine (Pentium 4 Prescott 3Ghz) and would like to install the g++ compiler.
[10:25] <rambo3> epiphany game!
[10:25] <d00d> 6.10drapper btw
[10:25] <guitarra> What version should I choose?
[10:25] <K3rl0u4rn> is there a way I can preserve file dates at copy time ?
[10:25] <mwe> octol: well since the is #ubuntu I asume ubuntu ;)
[10:25] <octol> mwe; I'm on a slack box atm, so for me, no. hehe
[10:26] <rambo3> guitarra, then install it ?
[10:26] <YetiChick> billy:  I use rsync -a
[10:26] <rambo3> guitarra, latest ?
[10:26] <guitarra> There are several versions
[10:26] <mwe> octol: huh. slackware doesn't have loopback support by default ?!
[10:26] <rambo3> !info gcc
[10:26] <mwe> octol: report that as a bug
[10:26] <ubotu> gcc: The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.1-6ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 5 kB, installed size 64 kB
[10:26] <billy> YetiChick, you use that command for backup purposes?
[10:26] <d00d> weird how x wont load in livecd
[10:26] <rambo3> guitarra, g++4.1 then
[10:26] <octol> mwe; i have to load the loopback module
[10:26] <mwe> octol: It did when I used it 9 years ago
[10:26] <guitarra> rambo3, that would be the trivial answer, but does anyone know about a reason NOT TO INSTALL the latest?
[10:26] <mwe> octol: oh
[10:27] <sonictwin> hmm is there a virus scanner for linux for that can scan a NTFS drive for viruses?
[10:27] <cara> sigh hello? how do I get the livecd to recognize my hard drive.  I'm using a Toshiba SATA
[10:27] <YetiChick> billy:  Yes, I backup to a directory on a separate hard drive and then burn a DVD every now and then from that directory.
[10:27] <billy> sonictwin, clamscan.
[10:27] <guitarra> (btw, I want to install g++ , gcc 4.1 is installed with the default Ubuntu installation
[10:27] <mwe> octol: that sucks.
[10:27] <octol> mwe; not really
[10:27] <mwe> octol: I see
[10:27] <billy> YetiChick, blessings upon you.
[10:27] <mwe> octol: I think so
[10:27] <octol> mwe; i boot lean and clean
[10:27] <sonictwin> billy: ill check it out, thanks
[10:27] <mwe> octol: loopback support is not clean? ;)
[10:28] <billy> sonictwin, I think the package name is clamav, though.  clamscan is the command that you'll enter into the command line.

[10:28] <Dev_CanLight> hi
[10:28] <VSpike> So, anyone got any ideas why it takes 5 or more seconds to open most GUI apps on my system?
[10:28] <augusto_feisty> guitarra: do it: apt-get install build-essential
[10:28] <d00d> r
[10:29] <VSpike> It's a X2 4400+ w/ 2GB
[10:29] <guitarra> augusto_feisty - what would that do?

[10:31] <Dev_CanLight> there is someone here that to past install CodeBlock with QT
[10:31] <guitarra> So I am truely sorry if I am asking stupid questions

I would like to reinstall a fresh system without loosing those parameters. Is there a way I should do that or should I do it all by hand ?
[10:32] <guitarra> is  ubotu a bot which responds to the   !info   keyword, or to every  "!" - prefixed keyword?
[10:33] <Nessieliberation> ubotu is a bot which responds to a lot of things
[10:33] <billy> guitarra, yeah.  certain keywords though.  !info <packagename> gives info on packages.
[10:33] <Dev_CanLight> someone to help me ?

[10:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mountpoint - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:41] <shoot^> Pricey - i tried to disable them there, but it didnt work... i assumed because im running beryl?
[10:41] <K3rl0u4rn> well people, I gonna leave, thanks for help, see ya
[10:41] <Pricey> adaptr, other things too. DON'T delete random places outside your /home
, look for the package nautilus-script-collection-svn
[10:41] <Pricey> Ahorner, ^ sorry
[10:41] <petr478> Jaxster: mountpoint is a directory, edit /etc/fstab
[10:41] <guitarra> OK, I was curious about the Spanish- auto recognizing stuff.
[10:41] <Pricey> shoot^, shouldn't make a difference.
[10:41] <ompaul> guitarra, that was me hitting its commands
[10:42] <guitarra> ompaul, what do you mean? I saw that spanish auto recognition else where
[10:42] <Ahorner> Pricey: well, i need to delete my wine files because i keep getting an x11 driver file missing

[10:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:42] <Pricey> Ahorner, deleting the whole directory is _NOT_ the way to fix it
[10:42] <SpaceBass> anyone using truecrypt with server 6.10?
[10:42] <Ahorner> Pricey: yeah lol
[10:42] <Pricey> Ahorner, we have package management for a reason :)

[10:45] <Jaxster> Is there anyway to burn an image of how I have everything set up so I can reformat and install to new hd without reconfiguring everything again?
[10:45] <guitarra> Can't I type   !es | guitarra and message myself? I tried that but it didn't really work... I didn't see the bot output
[10:45] <SpaceBass> truecrypt seems to run fine, but when I try and mount a volume I get an error about failing to insmod the kerneal module
[10:45] <Ahorner> and is there any way to log onto root not from terminal
[10:45] <Ahorner> (sudo)
[10:45] <Pricey> guitarra, ubotu would have sent you a private message or two
[10:45] <jonty_rocks3> can someone make me a beryl script?
[10:45] <Ahorner> guitarra: you have to be regestered
[10:46] <hamlet> Jaxster: just copy the files. if you don't mess the permissions and install on the same partition everything will be fine
[10:46] <Ahorner> guitarra: and i cant spell today lol
[10:46] <cara> dudes seriously, I'm losing faith in the ubuntu community, I wouldn't be here asking if I hadn't already searched for myself
[10:46] <Pricey> jonty_rocks3, beryl is not for beginners. Scripts like that break machines. #ubuntu-effects for support

[10:46] <meal3837> does anyone know how to change the image on top and bottom of the cube in feisty?

[10:47] <ubotu> guitarra: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[10:47] <armyriad> Why does Ubuntu use a wacky version of OpenOffice?
[10:47] <pranxor> Jaxster: the easiest sollution would be to clone your disk with ghost or any similar image tool.
[10:47] <Ahorner> b33r: for what?
[10:47] <b33r> formatting a new drive
[10:47] <Nessieliberation> armyriad : define wacky..
[10:47] <hendrixski> :-( I don't have a $QTDIR variable set after installing qt3
[10:47] <arrinmurr> is it a known problem that sometimes firefox renders websites blank (grey) until the firefox window is resized? and is there a way to fix this?
[10:47] <armyriad> All the programs in OpenOffice have incorrect names and it doesn't include the whole suite.
[10:47] <Nessieliberation> oh
[10:48] <Ahorner> !gparted | b33r
[10:48] <ubotu> b33r: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[10:49] <jshriver> Does KDE have a memory bug? it keeps crashing on me when loading semi-large text files
[10:49] <hendrixski> to compile MythTV I need $PATH to include /usr/lib/qt3/bin ... but there isn't one... and I think I've installed every qt3 package there is
[10:49] <hendrixski> what should I include in my $PATH??
[10:49] <hamlet> cara: a lot of people indeed do ask without researching. what is your problem exactly?
[10:49] <hendrixski> or is there something separate I need to apt-get that will give me the /usr/lib/qt3/bin?
[10:49] <armyriad> So, could someone explain why Ubuntu uses a weird version of OpenOffice.Org?
[10:49] <cara> the livecd does not recognize my hard drive
[10:50] <jshriver> armyriad: it does? what's different or weird about it
[10:50] <mwe> armyriad: explain what you mean. I haven't noticed
[10:50] <cara> I've passed, pci=nomsi and grub doesn't recognize that command
[10:50] <niriven> Anyone here use JFS?
[10:50] <cara> that and a few other parameters
[10:50] <mwe> niriven: I used to
[10:50] <kitche> armyriad: it doesn't but what do you mean by weird
[10:50] <SpaceBass> truecrypt on server? anyone?
[10:50] <niriven> mwe: Why used?
[10:50] <petr478> hendrixski i do not know but what include file it does need? perhaps you have it but in different directory
[10:50] <cara> nolapic noapic apci=force irqpoll
[10:50] <armyriad> The programs in Openoffice are all named incorrectly. Plus, Ubuntu does not include the whole OpenOffice suite.
[10:50] <cara> nothing...
[10:51] <hamlet> cara: can you post the content of the file /var/log/messages in pastebin
[10:51] <cara> its a sata hdd
[10:51] <diabolix> where can i find the source code the kernel that ubuntu uses?
[10:51] <mwe> niriven: because it's supposed to be safe and I had have a reiserfs partition go haywire on me
[10:51] <cara> hamlet how would I copy them over?
[10:51] <kitche> armyriad: hmm they seem to be named correctly here
[10:51] <Xintruder> Hi
[10:51] <hamlet> !pastebin | cara
[10:51] <ubotu> cara: 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)
[10:51] <Xintruder> is installing ubuntu easier than gentoo ?
[10:51] <niriven> mwe: I mean, what made you not use it anymore?
[10:51] <mwe> niriven: It was slow when processing a lot of small files
[10:51] <cara> hamlet again, how would I copy them over, this is the livecd I'm using
[10:51] <Pricey> Xintruder, yes, see the pm from ubotu
[10:51] <kane77> Xintruder, yes!!
[10:51] <kitche> Xintruder: depends what you mean by easier
[10:51] <mwe> niriven: fast at large files, though.
[10:51] <cara> it doesn't recognize my hdd
[10:52] <h4wk0> Xintruder, very easy :)
[10:52] <hendrixski> petr478: where else would Ubuntu decide to build it?  I didn't build it myself, this is when I apt-get it
[10:52] <cara> I would have to boot into the livecd and write everything down on a sheet of paper
[10:52] <Xintruder> I mean faster, needing less reading, and more of next next maybe?
[10:52] <niriven> mwe: Yeah i noticed that :-/ its unbalanced. Could you recommend something a bit more balanced?
[10:52] <mwe> niriven: I mainly process many small files so I went to ext3
[10:52] <kane77> Xintruder, yes it is lot faster in this regard
[10:52] <mwe> niriven: ext3
[10:52] <hamlet> cara: open the file and copy the content. i'm not sure i understand your question
[10:52] <kitche> Xintruder: yeah less commands and such sorta like a windows install really
[10:52] <niriven> mwe: What about xfs? know anything about that at all?
[10:52] <mwe> niriven: only downside is the forced disk checks now and then
[10:52] <hamlet> cara: so you are not currently running the livecd?
[10:52] <cara> hamlet I cannot copy anything over, I'm not on the livecd because my wifi doesn't work in it and I don't have a wired connection.
[10:52] <cara> lol yes..
[10:53] <diabolix> the only problem i have with ubuntu is that its debian based.. is there another distro that does everything as well that doesn't use apt or any of the weird debian quirks?
[10:53] <mwe> niriven: I haven't used it personally but I heard you need a stable power supply or you could loose data
[10:53] <h4wk0> What is 6.06lts Server edition like on stabibility?
[10:53] <hamlet> cara: how do you exect us to help you then?
[10:53] <EmxBA> who can help me creating ubuntu logo like http://www.ubuntu.com/themes/ubuntu07/images/ubuntulogo.png ?
[10:53] <cara> anyway I have to go right now, thanks hamlet
[10:53] <niriven> mwe: Heh.
[10:53] <petr478> hendrixski: perhaps the build tool (make) is searching in different place. it may not know where apt-get installed them
[10:53] <mwe> niriven: supposedly XFS uses heavy caching
[10:53] <Ahorner> !gimp
[10:53] <ubotu> gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[10:53] <diabolix> xfs=hard on ram
[10:53] <niriven> mwe: Ah, so more ram needed?
[10:54] <diabolix> reiser=fast without too much ram usage
[10:54] <mwe> niriven: It should be blazing for file servers with millions of files
[10:54] <Pricey> EmxBA, you can easily get some vector versions of the logo I think
[10:54] <Nessieliberation> EmxBA: there should be svg versions
[10:54] <Nessieliberation> then use inkscape
[10:54] <mwe> niriven: I don't think so for normal usage
[10:54] <hendrixski> petr478: I haven't even gotten that far yet... "'m at the pre-configuring your system before installing myth" part
[10:54] <YetiChick> niriven:  I've used jfs, xfs, reiser3 and the various ext filesystems over the years.  I always end up going back to ext, so far.
[10:54] <Pricey> EmxBA, i think the ones you get for use on member's business cards are nice svgs... i'll find a link
[10:54] <EmxBA> thanks
[10:54] <niriven> Yeti: Ah, thanks. Thats what i figured. Can i convert my jfs to ext3?
[10:54] <zitch> niriven: XFS is *very* fast, though I have lost stuff when I ran it on my laptop and had to do an unclean shutdown.
[10:55] <mwe> niriven: I don't think you'll notice the difference between XFS and EXT3 on a personal computer
[10:55] <Xintruder> can i run ftp server on ubunto desktop edition ?
[10:55] <diabolix> xfs can save alot of battery on a laptop.
[10:55] <diabolix> Xintruder, yes.
[10:55] <mwe> niriven: but again I don't have personal expeirence with XFS
[10:55] <hamlet> niriven: you cant convert it. you have to copy your data somewhere, reformat and move it back
[10:55] <diabolix> Xintruder, i don't know of a linux that you can't...
[10:55] <YetiChick> niriven: XFS requires absolutely stable power, or you will eventually lose data.
[10:55] <mescon> hey everyone.. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 Server on an LSISAS1068 controller. The disks are properly mapped to /dev/sda, sdb and so on
[10:56] <hendrixski> niriven: I just had some issues with my JFS partition too... I think I'll be switching it back to ext3
[10:56] <mwe> YetiChick: I told him ;)
[10:56] <niriven> YetiChick: Sounds kinda iffy
[10:56] <b33r> Ahorner, should I make the new drive primary or extended partition?
[10:56] <Xintruder> Can I use any server software i want on a ubuntu desktop based software?
[10:56] <diabolix> yep.
[10:56] <tonyyarusso> Xintruder: I use vsftpd myself
[10:56] <YetiChick> mwe:  I missed it.  :)
[10:56] <tonyyarusso> !ftp | Xintruder
[10:56] <niriven> JFS seems ok, i just dont like how slow it is with large amounts of small files
[10:56] <ubotu> Xintruder: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[10:56] <tonyyarusso> !ftpd | Xintruder
[10:56] <ubotu> Xintruder: FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP
[10:56] <mwe> JFS is painfully slow when processing many small files. find takes forever
[10:56] <petr478> hendrixski: sorry, i was confused about header path versus path to binaries
[10:56] <mwe> so does unpacking large tarballs
[10:56] <Ahorner> b33r: well, what are you planning to do with it
[10:57] <hamlet> niriven: i use jfs for all my partitions and i'm very happy with it
[10:57] <octol> no glftpd ?
[10:57] <diabolix> in ubuntu, the prompt when you press the power button, is that gnome or something particular to ubuntu?
[10:57] <YetiChick> niriven: My primary reason for staying with ext3 on personal computers is the number of tools available for it.  Data recovery, specifically.
[10:57] <diabolix> proftpd!
[10:57] <hendrixski> petr478: I'll just keep googling it :-/  there's got to be something that I missed when apt-getting qt3
[10:57] <b33r> music/vids maybe some apps
[10:57] <niriven> hamlet: Yeah i am too, but it seems lik ei mess with smaller files rther then large
[10:57] <neuton> #xubuntu
[10:57] <neuton> sry
[10:57] <niriven> hamlet: And i wait, and wait :-0
[10:57] <petr478> hendrixski: i would try to find out what executables the scripts need
[10:58] <Ahorner> b33r: are you going to run the os on it or just store things
[10:58] <mwe> hamlet: I think it was very stable but I got fed up by the slowness when processing a lot of files. I guess that depends on your hardware as well, though.
[10:58] <YetiChick> niriven: *All* of the mature filesystems are good.  You have to look more at the specific circumstances and decide what's best for the use.
[10:58] <bokey> hi clamav package seems to be outdated in edgy.
[10:58] <Ahorner> b33r: nevermind. format it as an ex3 primary
[10:58] <b33r> Ahorner, store things so I geuss extended?
[10:58] <bokey> !clamav
[10:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[10:58] <excitatory_> is there a way to probe ones keyboard in order to figure out a way to configure these three 'special' buttons i have?  (it's a generic keyboard, with fancy 'sleep', 'wake up', and 'power' buttons.  i would like to configure them as volume keys for amarok)
[10:58] <b33r> Ahorner, primary?
[10:58] <Ahorner> hang on
[10:58] <kitche> bokey: yes it is versions are frozen in a release
[10:58] <niriven> Yeti: Yeah :), thanks
[10:58] <b33r> Ahorner, k thnx
[10:58] <kuma> hi, i don't know if this is the right channel to ask this, if not please tell me where i can find an appropiate one. I need an application to do diagrams both in linux and windows if possible that stores this diagrams in XML or another open standard method, thanks
[10:58] <niriven> Yeti: I guess ill go format under ext3
[10:58] <neuton> I just re-installed xubuntu edgy version,however I can not access my windows partition to listen to my music,can you guys help please?
[10:58] <petr478> hendrixski perhaps by creating empty gt dir and running the script
[10:58] <hamlet> mwe: maybe. i don't feel it is slower than ext3. but it may be subjective
[10:58] <bokey> ricky chan has provided a backport of version 0.90.1. why isn't it available in the repo yet ?
[10:59] <kitche> !backport | bokey
[10:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about backport - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[10:59] <Ahorner> yes, primary
[10:59] <Epic720> if gparted won't work on my raid array, What program can I use to format my raid array in ext3?
[11:00] <cyberkun> hello
[11:00] <diabolix> niriven, its been known to lose alot of data if you don't shutdown cleanly.
[11:00] <hendrixski> msg ubotu !qt3
[11:00] <petr478> After booting freshly installed kernel the suspend-to-disk did not resume previous session. Any ideas?
[11:00] <hendrixski> oops
[11:00] <mwe> hamlet: I'm positive things like unpacking tar.gz files of 50+ MB took ages longer with JFS for, though ;)
[11:00] <jshriver> Does KDE have a memory bug? it keeps crashing on me when loading semi-large text files
[11:00] <YetiChick> hamlet: The speed of a filesystem various so much depending on usage that a subjective view is really all most people will get on a home computer.
[11:00] <cyberkun> I need a little help with the upgrade manger
[11:00] <Epic720> can someone help me format my NTFS raid 0 array to ext3?
[11:00] <cyberkun> it will probly be stupied
[11:00] <b33r> Ahorner, k thnx
[11:00] <hamlet> niriven: look at the xfs faq: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html. search for null
[11:00] <jshriver> or does anyone recommend a program like kdiff3?
[11:00] <zitch> niriven XFS seems to zero out files that were opened if the filesystem was not cleanly shutdown.  Though, at the time, I was running beryl (which was fairly unstable, especially with the fglrx drivers)...
[11:01] <petr478> Epic720 i think it is not done by gparted but mdadm
[11:01] <YetiChick> Epic720:  Hardware or software RAID?
[11:01] <niriven> I really like ufs on my freebsd machine, too bad linux doesnt have built in support for it
[11:01] <Epic720> hardware raid
[11:01] <kitche> niriven: it does just readonly
[11:01] <mwe> hamlet: unpacking the linux source takes about 15 seconds now I think. It used to take minutes
[11:01] <Epic720> how do I do it with mdadm?
[11:01] <niriven> kitche: Ah
[11:01] <mwe> hamlet: other than that I was happy with. never had any errors
[11:01] <YetiChick> Epic720: You need to create your RAID with the proper tools, first.  Usually, it can be done from within the RAID BIOS.
[11:01] <petr478> Epic720 mdadm does software raid only. but i recomned software
[11:01] <petr478> Epic720 see man page
[11:02] <knoppix_> i am using knoppix, but installed Kubuntu, it's great but it's failed to read my modem! S.O.S. Help! Anybody there?
[11:02] <hamlet> mwe: YetiChick: i respect your opitions. i don't wanted to start an fs war. just to express mine. thank you for sharing yours
[11:02] <YetiChick> Epic720: Then you need to load the correct kernel driver for your RAID.
[11:02] <niriven> Thanks all, much appreciated conversation!
[11:02] <dyrne> !winmodem | knoppix_
[11:02] <ubotu> knoppix_: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[11:02] <Epic720> YetiChick: I have mounted the drives and been using them, but now I want to format them in ext3
[11:02] <YetiChick> hamlet:  Was there a war?  I didn't notice.  :)
[11:02] <niriven> Yetichick: no war, just helpful insight
[11:03] <niriven> Noone here said anything about the best fs (which there isnt any) :)
[11:03] <cyberkun> iyea, what do I do about this. WHen I try to install something, even using the updater I keep getting this error. installArchives() failed . I do have Ubuntu 6.10
[11:03] <hamlet> YetiChick: nope. but i've seen it comming very fast often :-)
[11:03] <mwe> hamlet: I think every fs has it's best purpose
[11:03] <petr478> After booting freshly installed kernel the suspend-to-disk did not resume previous session. Any ideas?
[11:03] <hamlet> YetiChick: out of nowhere
[11:03] <Epic720> YetiChick: I have mounted the drives and been using them, but now I want to format them in ext3.
[11:03] <niriven> hamlet: Acutally im going to stick with jfs for now, it not too bad.
[11:04] <YetiChick> Epic720:  mkfs is used for that, but are you using them as individual drives, or as a RAID array?
[11:04] <armyriad> When is Feisty going to be released?
[11:04] <knoppix_>  i am using knoppix, but installed Kubuntu, it's great but it's failed to read my modem! S.O.S. Help! Anybody there?
[11:04] <Epic720> YetiChick: Raid array
[11:04] <mwe> hamlet: people tend to get very upset with a certain file system if they lost everything using it ;)
[11:04] <iamjk> is there some issue with 7.06, where the live cd runs and installs, but at startup it gives a black screen?
[11:04] <b33r> Ahorner, done now how should I mount it?
[11:04] <Ahorner> b33r: i dont really know lol
[11:04] <YetiChick> Epic720:  And they are already recognized by your OS as a RAID?
[11:04] <Ahorner> b33r: i'm pretty new
[11:04] <h4wk0> [22:01:57]  <ubotu> knoppix_: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[11:04] <bokey> kitche, clamav 0.90.1 is not in the edgy backport. deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[11:04] <mwe> hamlet: that goes for me and reiserfs as well ;)
[11:05] <hamlet> mwe: yes. for that reason i wont considering xfs for a veeeery long time ;-)
[11:05] <Epic720> YetiChick: I was able to mount the raid using ntfs-3g
[11:05] <b33r> ;|
[11:05] <dyrne> iamjk: turn your monitor on
[11:05] <mwe> hamlet: good thinking
[11:05] <hamlet> mwe: yes. this is a piece of junk!
[11:05] <knoppix_> ty ibutu
[11:05] <iamjk> dyrne: I wish it was that simple
[11:05] <bokey> Epic720, you don't mount a raid
[11:05] <mwe> hamlet: it was very fast, though.
[11:05] <mwe> hamlet: at melting down
[11:05] <Epic720> bokey... yes you do.
[11:05] <YetiChick> Epic720: Okay...  Well, you don't format mounted drives.  And you're going to lose any data on them.  Okay so far?
[11:05] <b33r> Ahorner, and it's kinda weird took only 1 minute to make 80gb ext3
[11:05] <mwe> ;)
[11:06] <Epic720> YetiChick: yes, I unmounted it.
[11:06] <dyrne> iamjk: so it installed. do you get the loading screen at boot and just black when the gui starts?
[11:06] <niriven> My only fear about reiser is the whole legal case, and its future. I guess thats everyones
[11:06] <bokey> Epic720, raid is a concept. a fail over mechanism and it's default in Ubuntu
[11:06] <Ahorner> b33r: that's normal
[11:06] <YetiChick> bokey:  I know what Eipc720 means.
[11:06] <b33r> oh k
[11:06] <iamjk> dyrne: grub does it's thing, then the screen flickers then nothing
[11:06] <Flare183> Can I get some help?, I can't mount my MP3 player
[11:07] <zitch> hamlet: actually, for all of my ragging on XFS, I would consider it if I was doing video-processing or something that needs a large amount of scratch space.
[11:07] <knoppix_> j was already going through ubuntu,com however
[11:07] <mwe> Flare183: well mine just pops up as an usb disk
[11:07] <Epic720> YetiChick: I just would like to be able to format the array in ext3
[11:07] <b33r> anyone know how to mount a partition?
[11:07] <kitche> bokey: then you have to get it fromt heri website
[11:07] <Flare183> mwe:>my does nothing
[11:07] <bokey> kitche, heri website ?
[11:07] <YetiChick> Epic720: Then it's just basically "mkfs.ext3 -j </dev/whatever>".
[11:07] <kitche> bokey: clamav website
[11:07] <mwe> Flare183: do you know if it's behaving as a standard usb drive?
[11:07] <petr478> b33r sudo mount /dev/device /media/something
[11:07] <bokey> kitche, i found a backport for edgy @ http://www.ricky-chan.co.uk/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/
[11:08] <Flare183> mwe:> it works fine on windows
[11:08] <octol> b33r; "mount -t ext3 -o <options> /dev/<device> /mnt/<mountpoint"
[11:08] <mwe> Flare183: or supposed to be
[11:08] <YetiChick> Epic720: Assuming you want a journal - which you probably do.
[11:08] <mwe> Flare183: yeah. like a normal external usb drive?
[11:08] <Epic720> YetiChick: ok, which do I use? /dev/mapper/pcb_BLAH, or /dev/sda? Because sda is just the single drive
[11:08] <kitche> bokey: ok so use that then since that's for dapper not edgy
[11:08] <Pricey> kitche, bokey, that's not a backport, its a 3rd party repository
[11:08] <Flare183> mwe:> yeah
[11:08] <bokey> kitche, could any canonical dev atleast put it in the main edgy backports ?
[11:08] <mwe> Flare183: hmm.
[11:08] <bokey> Pricey, it's not i know.
[11:08] <RedLobster> dear god, i just talked to some people in the haiku team (beos clone) and they are keeping the beos api, naming functions "b_draw_window" for instance, instead of e.g. "haiku_draw_window".
[11:08] <dyrne> iamjk: sounds like another issue but if you have the livecd you could try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2404557
[11:08] <bokey> :)
[11:08] <kitche> Pricey: I know it's not a backport
[11:08] <hamlet> zitch: cool. but the speed turned to a second important property for me (next to reliability) after losing data
[11:08] <Pricey> bokey, request a backport then
[11:08] <kitche> bokey: umm they don't accept packages from 3rd party
[11:09] <YetiChick> Epic720: You have more than one drive, right?
[11:09] <mwe> Flare183: I'd check if the usb modules were loaded. usb_storage is essential I think. ehci-hcd etc
[11:09] <Epic720> YetiChick: yes, 2
[11:09] <Juanca> Hi everybody. How can I clean up my repositories?
[11:09] <bokey> kitche, i should learn diff properly. :(
[11:09] <Ahorner> sudo apt-get install cheese :-)
[11:09] <Flare183> mwe:> my usb flash drive mount and they work fine on Ubuntu
[11:09] <bokey> kitche, maybe manually diff the packages source and see
[11:09] <Ahorner> mwe: fdisk -l
[11:09] <mwe> Flare183: odd
[11:09] <hamlet> Juanca: what do you want to do exactly?
[11:10] <Ahorner> Flare183: fdisk -l
[11:10] <mwe> Flare183: check the output of 'dmesg' after you plug it in
[11:10] <zitch> Flare183: What model of MP3 player is it?
[11:10] <h4wk0> sudo rm -rf *
[11:10] <Ahorner> zitch: i think itsa flash drive
[11:10] <Flare183> GPX MW3818
[11:10] <b33r> octol, can u pls b more specific with <options> and <mountpoint> ?
[11:10] <Ahorner> or not
[11:10] <h4wk0> !server
[11:10] <ubotu> Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support
[11:11] <Ahorner> !sudo
[11:11] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:11] <YetiChick> Epic720: Um...  Okay.  You usually see "/dev/mapper/blah" when you're using LVM to make your RAID.  I'm used to seeing a hardware RAID show up as "/dev/sdX"
[11:11] <Ahorner> is there a way to run a root permissions gui?
[11:11] <poningru> Ahorner: like nautilus?
[11:11] <Ahorner> like have root privelages to right click move to trash
[11:11] <poningru> in a terminal type gksudo nautilus
[11:11] <Epic720> YetiChick: I originally had troubles mounting my array, I installed dmraid and was able to see it under /dev/mapper.
[11:11] <Ahorner> ok sweet
[11:12] <poningru> make sure you use gksudo
[11:12] <Ahorner> k
[11:12] <Flare183> zitch:>GPX MW3818
[11:12] <poningru> sudo will screw you up
[11:12] <mwe> Ahorner: running the whole system as root is a bad idea (TM)
[11:12] <Epic720> YetiChick: There was never a folder named sdx
[11:12] <Ahorner> mwe: :-p
[11:12] <biff_> anyone had any luck using Compiz or Beryl with a Radeon X1400?
[11:12] <hariseldon> poningru; lol re:" sudo will screw you up"
[11:12] <bokey> Pricey, kitche who are the people responsible for backports ?
[11:12] <Flare183> biff:>i have beryl working with my Radeon 9000 Series
[11:12] <kitche> bokey: the developers of ubuntu
[11:12] <mwe> biff_: you'll probably get more help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:13] <ompaul> h4wk0, the request for people to that that is not considered funny come back in 24 hours
[11:13] <bokey> kitche, heh
[11:13] <YetiChick> Epic720: dmraid.  Ah... Okay...  Well, then, in your case, you're going to use the "/dev/mapper/blah" device.
[11:13] <Ahorner> now how do i end nautilus
[11:13] <DimaKorzhevin> I had problems with radeon cards...
[11:13] <Pricey> bokey, I think the easiest way would be to request one in the backports section on the forums
[11:13] <bokey> !backports
[11:13] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[11:13] <biff_> is that using the open source drivers, Flare183?
[11:13] <Epic720> ok
[11:13] <YetiChick> Epic720:  I didn't mean a literal "X".  :)
[11:13] <Epic720> got ya
[11:13] <biff_> thanks mwe, I'll check that out
[11:13] <Juanca> hamlet: I get a some problems when I update Synaptic, and I thisk that's because I alter the repositories file inappropriately
[11:13] <Flare183> biff:>using the radeon driver on the xorg.conf file
[11:13] <octol> b33r; i use "mount -t ext3 -o ro,noatime /dev/hdd1 /ftp/files" to mount an ext3 partition that houses media files
[11:14] <Epic720> so just to clarify, the command would be: mkfs.ext3 -j </dev/mapper/X>
[11:14] <hamlet> Juanca: you added stuff to /etc/apt/sources.list or you used synaptic for adding repositories?
[11:14] <Juanca> hamlet: yes I did
[11:14] <octol> b33r; it's the first partition on the 4th drive, "ro" is read-only since the files don't change,
[11:14] <YetiChick> Epic720:  That "hardware" RAID you have isn't what I think of as a real hardware RAID.  Um...  Yes, that should work fine.  You're going to use the same device that shows when you do a df.
[11:14] <Epic720> and I use the one with the highest number, like pdc_bcbgddd1
[11:15] <hamlet> Juanca: in any case you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the repos you don't want. as root of course
[11:15] <octol> b33r; does that help any ?
[11:15] <b33r> k lemme try :/
[11:15] <YetiChick> Epic720: So, when you do a df, and the drive is mounted, what device it shows is the device you format when it's unmounted.
[11:15] <petr478> After booting freshly installed kernel the suspend-to-disk did not resume previous session. Any ideas?
[11:15] <Juanca> hamlet: I'm not sure I will do it right this time, and I don't want to risk
[11:16] <Flare183> mwe, zitch:> any luck?
[11:16] <YetiChick> Epic720: And I know that wasn't a very clear sentence, so if I confused ou, let me know.  :)
[11:16] <Epic720> YetiChick: ok, Thank you for your help up to this point. I do have a PCI hardware controller that the drives are connected to. Should I be going about this in a different way?
[11:16] <mwe> Flare183: luck?
[11:16] <Epic720> BTW, these drives are not root drives.
[11:16] <Flare183> mwe:> on help me with my problem
[11:16] <hamlet> Juanca: instead of deleting you can just comment lines out. puting # infront of a line does comment it. so you can reenable it if someting goes wrong
[11:16] <hamlet> Juanca: no harm if you just comment stuff out
[11:16] <Flare183> hold on
[11:17] <Juanca> hamlet: let me tell you what are the problems  that promp...
[11:17] <zitch> Flare183: Unfortunately, no.  I actually can't find that specific model, but I did find the MW3347.  I can't find anything relating to linux with it though.
[11:17] <YetiChick> Epic720: No, you're fine.  :)  It's just that in most "servers", a hardware RAID shows up as a SCSI device when its driver is loaded.
[11:17] <mwe> Flare183: did you try what I suggested?
[11:17] <Epic720> ok, I will try that command
[11:18] <Flare183> mwe:>http://pastebin.ca/437075
[11:18] <syntaxx> im having a problem integrating mysql+samba i can login using smbclient on linux machine but when i tried to access the file server using windows it wont let me any of you have idea?
[11:18] <YetiChick> Epic720: The most it should do is destroy the data on those drives.  As always, be *very* careful when typing a format command.  One typo cancause immense damage.
[11:19] <kbidd> has anybody successfully gotten 6.10 installed under microsoft virtual pc?  (I'm using the alternative CD since the graphics dont work on the desktop-iso, but my install keeps freezing at 34% of the way through "installing the base system", with no error messages)
[11:19] <mwe> Flare183: It is suggesting the cable is bad. Is it? probably not if it works in windows.
[11:19] <Flare183> yeah i know
[11:19] <mwe> Flare183: does it work in another port?
[11:20] <hamlet> syntaxx: you have to change the authentication method for windows. google for it (samba windows xp login) or so. i don't remember the exact changes to the registry you have to make
[11:20] <Epic720> Yetichick: I made sure the command was correct with what you said. Typed it in. and it is currently "Writing inode tables". Thank you so much!
[11:20] <Juanca> hamlet: first, when I Reload the progress bar freezes at sme point (84 of 90 files)
[11:20] <YetiChick> Epic720: Glad to help.  :)
[11:21] <syntaxx> hamlet: ok
[11:21] <Epic720> YetiChick: And I am very glad you did help. Earlier this morning I couldn't get a single soul to help.
[11:21] <hamlet> Juanca: this may be a temporary unavailable server. try it tomorow and if it persist comment the offending server out
[11:21] <Juanca> hamlet: then it says it can't download this repositories: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/edgy/Release.gpg

[11:21] <YetiChick> Epic720: To be fair, it's hard to help everyone.  Patience is the key.

[11:22] <Pricey> vox754, no they're not :)

[11:22] <Pricey> Juanca, please use the pastebin next time, details frmo ubotu
[11:22] <mwe> Flare183: I haven't encoutered anything like that before. Did you have to install extra drivers for it in windows?
[11:22] <Flare183> mwe:> no
[11:22] <vox754> Pricey, hey there, where can I get the source for ubotu?
[11:22] <Flare183> mwe:> just plug in use

[11:24] <Jump86> which chmod should i use?
[11:24] <vox754> Pricey, you mean I can get a copy of ubotu, and then add my personal factoids, obviously in another channel?
[11:24] <Pricey> vox754, yes
[11:24] <Pricey> Jump86, +x
[11:25] <Jump86> and where should i store the file
[11:25] <Pricey> Jump86, wherever you want

[11:31] <Artemis3> Dimetera, which is how i did over here, luckily i found a 64mb module and managed to get 96mb, its not terribly fast but acceptable, kinda like macos x
[11:31] <Flare183> biff:> any luck?
[11:32] <dobblego> on edgy, when I try to burn a CD with nautilius by starting the write, I don't see a dialog - it just does nothing - why?
[11:32] <vox754> More information about a command line tutorial here http://reachbeyondgrasp.blogspot.com/2007/04/interactive-linux-command-line-tutorial.html
[11:32] <Chetwin> Just recently I noticed that the volume controls on my keyboard are controlling the PCM instead of the Master volume.  Can anyone suggest an option to change my volume controls back to master control?
[11:32] <zitch> roadfish: Are you dualbooting with Windows?
[11:32] <Floker> Actually its wurmux
[11:32] <roadfish> zitch: no Windows on my system
[11:32] <Floker> this game is off the hook
[11:33] <roadfish> zitch: I am dual booting with another Linux distro.
[11:33] <pieman> lol i just looked up that worms game
[11:33] <pieman> it looks awesome
[11:33] <walterdimov> I am not thinking on gnome-termial... i an thinking on when I press CTRL+ALT+F1 console
[11:33] <hendrixski> msg ubotu !path
[11:33] <kbidd> has anybody had the installation from the 6.10 alternate CD freeze under "installing the base system" when Configuring makedev?
[11:33] <Artemis3> artillery game, try scorched earth 3d instead of worms...
[11:33] <zitch> roadfish: Ok, that sounds like one distro is using the internal clock as local time, and the other distro is using the internal clock as UTC...
[11:33] <hendrixski> gggrrrr, I keep forgetting the / in front of the /msg
[11:33] <chili555> IgorSobreira does a wireless interface show up under iwconfig?
[11:33] <Floker> pretty well done when you played the original game, you oughta have fun w/ wormux
[11:34] <b33r> octol, can't figure it out ;|
[11:34] <hamlet> walterdimov: i don't know what you are talking about. i'm not on ubuntu and my key bindings are custom. maybe someone else can help?
[11:34] <hendrixski> when I set the $PATH variable... am I pointing it to the .h files, or the executable binaries?
[11:34] <qebab> Okay, so I have this "HTTP Cache Cleaner" popping up every now and then, is there a way to either make it stop coming in the workspace I'm currently in or make it stop popping up at all?
[11:34] <roadfish> zitch: yes, the Feisty insntall is using the clock os UTC ... what should I do?
[11:34] <zilly66> anyone know of a good CSS irc channel?
[11:34] <octol> b33r; which part ?
[11:35] <b33r> sudo mount -t ext3 -o /dev/hdb1 /media/newdrive is this right or no?
[11:35] <Floker> one problem that cannot be solved using apt-get, i want to have a smoke, but i dont have a lighter
[11:35] <Chetwin> Just recently I noticed that the volume controls on my keyboard are controlling the PCM instead of the Master volume.  Can anyone suggest an option to change my volume controls back to master control?
[11:35] <qebab> Floker, use your cooking plate
[11:35] <octol> b33r; that looks very close, but not quite
[11:35] <qebab> then quickly run outside
[11:35] <zitch> roadfish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime?action=show&redirect=ChangeTimezoneHowto
[11:35] <hamlet> Chetwin: right click on the sound slider on your panel, select "settings" (or so) and change the default control to master or whatever you want
[11:35] <kbidd> Floker, steal some matches from a restaurant :P
[11:35] <Floker> thx qebab good ideas, both of em
[11:35] <octol> b33r; just drop the "-o" if you don't need any extended options
[11:36] <zitch> At the bottom, it has some instructions on how to reset the UTC setting.
[11:36] <roadfish> zitch: tnx
[11:36] <qebab> Not an idea, experience :x
[11:36] <b33r> oh was wondering what o means anyway lol
[11:36] <Chetwin> ty!
[11:36] <octol> b33r; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/newdrive
[11:36] <qebab> So does anyone actually know what HTTP Cache Cleaner does and how it works? Or more importantly how I can configure it
[11:36] <zitch> roadfish: under "Make Linux use 'Local' time"
[11:36] <walterdimov> imagine that you dont have X, where should you be? That console! (sorry for bad english)
[11:36] <Floker> sudo apt-get install xigarette-lighter
[11:37] <octol> b33r; -o can be used to set the drive read-only, no acess time updates, no file execution, etc
[11:37] <b33r> b33r@b33r:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/newdrive
[11:37] <b33r> mount: mount point /media/newdrive does not exist
[11:37] <nikin_> i use ubuntu-lite.. what do i have to install to automatically handle plugged in USB devices?
[11:37] <hamlet> walterdimov: you have to pass option to the kernel on boot for that. the thing is called "virtual console"
[11:37] <octol> "mkdir /media/newdrive" ?
[11:38] <b33r> done :D
[11:39] <b33r> anyways will it be permanent?
[11:39] <octol> b33r; df -hm should now reflect the new drive, and its free space
[11:39] <walterdimov> hamlet: where can I find that options?
[11:39] <sk4jvoker> i have 2 network cards and i have internet in one and lan i the second one how do i get internet to the lan :) , any link or something :)
[11:39] <octol> b33r; to make it permanent, use "/etc/fstab"
 b33r; df -hm should now reflect the new drive, and its free space
[11:40] <b33r> ?
[11:40] <kbidd> When installing from the alternate CD, the install stalls while installing the base system... the console output shows "Apr 12 17:31:20 debootstrap: Setting up ubuntu-minimal (1.30) ..."  and no error messages below it... any ideas what is going wrong?
[11:40] <Msword> hello
[11:40] <Msword> !iso
[11:40] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[11:40] <dobblego> sk4jvoker, google "how to use linux as a router"?
[11:40] <sk4jvoker> ok
[11:40] <Death_Sargent> nm applet does ot work properly
[11:40] <b33r> nvm
[11:40] <octol> b33r; df is command line to show free space on your drives
[11:40] <Msword> what is an ISO burner for windows?
[11:40] <Death_Sargent> won't show any networks
[11:40] <Death_Sargent> img burn
[11:40] <nikin_> i use ubuntu-lite.. what do i have to install to automatically handle plugged in USB devices?
[11:40] <qebab> So no one actually knows anything about the HTTP Cache Cleaner?
[11:41] <UNDERsoN> !kernel
 b33r; to make it permanent, use "/etc/fstab" how? lol
[11:41] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[11:41] <dobblego> why does nautilus do nothing when I try to burn a CD on edgy?
[11:41] <octol> b33r; my fault , edit the /etc/fstab file in your favorite text editor and include the new drive
[11:41] <chili555> domo arigato, mr. ubotu
[11:41] <Death_Sargent> nm-applet won't detect wireless networks
[11:41] <kbidd> Msword, thats not really a question for this channel, but most CD burning applications can burn ISOs (eg. nero)
[11:42] <hamlet> walterdimov: start with that http://enterprise.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/04/1621224&tid=39&tid=89

[11:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openobex - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:43] <walterdimov> hamlet: thanks, ill read this
[11:43] <UNDERsoN> Anybody knew name of openobex gnome-vfs plugin
[11:43] <canadianman> how would i combine a subtitle file (srt) to an avi?
[11:44] <dobblego> are there any other applications for burning CDs besides nautilus?
[11:44] <UNDERsoN> canadian vlc or so on
[11:44] <octol> b33r; "/dev/hdb1   /media/newdrive  ext3"
[11:44] <chili555> dobblego K3b
[11:44] <dobblego> chili555, cheers
[11:44] <rage0ne> hey all
[11:44] <whtet> is scp part of ssh package?
[11:44] <canadianman> i want to hard code the subtitles
[11:44] <hamlet> canadianman: you don't have to. just give the avi and the subtitle the same names and put them in a common directory. all players will play them togehter per default
[11:45] <UNDERsoN> canadianman What You wanna do. Just watch?
[11:45] <hamlet> canadianman: avi containers does not support subtitles
[11:45] <b33r> octol, ok 1 more thing lol I can't add anything to new drive without using sudo
[11:45] <hamlet> canadianman: use something else: matroska, ogm...
[11:45] <b33r> I should've used -o I think right?
[11:46] <octol> b33r; sorry, i assumed you were using root
[11:46] <octol> b33r; yes, fstab is typically only editable by root
[11:46] <b33r> I edited fstab
[11:46] <canadianman> i would like have my movie all in one place, reason for combining the subs and movie together
[11:46] <b33r> but I mean using the new drive with nautilus adding stuff to it
[11:47] <plus_M> Hi I'm trying to cross compile VLC-svn for win32 and when I run ./configure it complains about $AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT being undefined, but I have libgcrypt installed
[11:47] <madman91> hey
[11:47] <madman91> what is a good rss viewer?
[11:47] <octol> if you have your user write permission set on "/media/newdrive" you shouldn't need root
[11:48] <hamlet> madman91: i use liferea. i don't know if it's good for you
[11:48] <b33r> well it seems it's not
[11:48] <canadianman> does mplayer combine srt and avi when it plays the movie by default
[11:48] <octol> b33r; "chmod 777 /media/newdrive" will allow all users to read and write to the newdrive
[11:48] <madman91> hamlet: thanks
[11:48] <octol> b33r; ... as root
[11:49] <bokey> plus_M, wrong place
[11:49] <hamlet> canadianman: if they have the same base names and are in the same directory - yes.
[11:49] <plus_M> bokey, well I'm doing it in Ubuntu
[11:49] <madman91> hamlet: do you use that with mozilla or by itsself?
[11:49] <b33r> k worked
[11:49] <b33r> thnx for ur time :)
[11:49] <plus_M> I figured if I asked it in both #ubuntu and #videolan I would get help somewhere
[11:49] <octol> b33r; gald to be of service :)
[11:49] <hamlet> madman91: this is standalone application. the firefox integration is not very good. but it plays quiet nicely with epiphany
[11:50] <b33r> let me restart and if it's still b there ;d
[11:50] <madman91> hamlet: thanks.. i decided on using the standalone
[11:50] <madman91> hamlet: it looks good
[11:50] <piratepenguin> "Gutsy will not be an LTS" huh? I thought every 3rd release would be LTS. This is the third release, isn't it?
[11:51] <hamlet> madman91: take a look at www.gnomefiles.com for other ideas though
[11:51] <Pricey> piratepenguin, no-one said every 3rd release :)
[11:51] <spikeb> nobody said every third release, afaik.
[11:51] <hamlet> madman91: sorry www.gnomefiles.org
[11:51] <spikeb> and there isnt a need for a LTS yet
[11:51] <frojnd> how do I check what hardware do I have ?
[11:51] <piratepenguin> Pricey, hmm.. I picked it up somewhere a long time ago. guess it was bad info
[11:51] <Pricey> piratepenguin, LTS's happen when the development of components reaches a stable and mature "plateau", supportable for a long time.
[11:52] <piratepenguin> Pricey, ah k, thanks
[11:52] <bokey> piratepenguin, but that's never a case. LTS -> Long Time Surpise
[11:52] <frojnd> how do I check what hardware do I have ?
[11:52] <defjux> how do i search for a package?   "apt-get search libvisual-plugins" ?
[11:52] <pieman> if i want to be able to connect to my computer from outside my house (and perform command line operations on my computer)....what is it I need to be searching for on google to help me do it?
[11:52] <piratepenguin> bokey, lol
[11:52] <Bales> Anyone know if XGL works on an Nvidia GeForce 7600GS?
[11:53] <macd> defjux, yes, or packages.ubuntu.com for a contextual serach
[11:53] <frojnd> defjux: apt-cache search package
[11:53] <defjux> ah cache
[11:53] <defjux> ty
[11:53] <chili555> frojnd sudo lshw?
[11:53] <macd> pieman, you want openSSH
[11:53] <H1tm3n> safe graphics didn't work out, it just hangs and doesn't send any signals to monitor. Ubuntu 6.06 64bit, X800GT
[11:53] <H1tm3n> can anyone help?
[11:53] <H1tm3n> I mean
[11:53] <chili555> frojnd or sudo lspci -v
[11:53] <macd> pieman, so, on your computer 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' and make sure your router/nat device forwards port 22 to the outside world.
[11:53] <H1tm3n> Will ubuntu work if I install them?
[11:54] <H1tm3n> that is, is this only live cd problem?
[11:54] <ffm> !info
[11:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about info - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:54] <ffm> !bot
[11:54] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[11:54] <macd> H1tm3n, stay away from 64bit, use 32bit.
[11:54] <pieman> ok cool
[11:54] <pieman> thanks
[11:54] <H1tm3n> macd why?
[11:54] <defjux> del@del-desktop:~/Desktop/libvisual-0.4.0$ sudo apt-get libvisual-0.4-plugins
[11:54] <defjux> E: Invalid operation libvisual-0.4-plugins
[11:55] <macd> H1tm3n, 64bit linux isnt ready for your desktop.
[11:55] <defjux> why doesnt that work?
[11:55] <Pricey> defjux, apt-get install
[11:55] <macd> defjux, sudo apt-get install
[11:55] <defjux> eyeroll thanks pricey
[11:55] <kbidd>  has anybody successfully gotten 6.10 installed under microsoft virtual pc?  (I'm using the alternative CD since the graphics dont work on the desktop-iso, but my install keeps freezing at 45% of the way through "installing the base system" -- at "configuring makedev", with no error messages)
[11:56] <macd> kbidd, ms vpc 2007?
[11:56] <ffm> Ubotu is a supybot, right?
[11:56] <frojnd> chili555: hm, cant see how fast memmory i have...
[11:56] <ffm> ooo.
[11:56] <ffm> I see.
[11:56] <ffm> nvmd
[11:56] <chili555> frojnd FSB and all? no clue.
[11:57] <kbidd> macd, yes
[11:57] <d00d> weird how x wont load in livecd
[11:57] <mzanfardino> I'd like to compare two directories and get a report of the differences.  What is the best tool for this?
[11:57] <Tahir_H> Easy question: how do I search for files in the easiest way possible?  (not command line but I will learn that later)
[11:57] <H1tm3n> macd 32-bit kubuntu wouldn't run either
[11:58] <clearzen> Tahir_H: if you want a GUI use beagle or tracker
[11:58] <Tahir_H> cheers clearzen
[11:58] <macd> H1tm3n, yeah, mnost likely you need to use the alternate install CD>
[11:58] <pieman> macd, if i currently use a vpn client to connect to my campus, does that mean my router already forwards port 22 out?
[11:58] <macd> pieman, no.
[11:59] <yxairyggen> How do I add startup-programs i gnome?
[11:59] <Darwin> when will the 7.04 Release Candidate be released?
[12:00] <yxairyggen> Darwin, The 19:th I think
[12:00] <nero> say, if I was to upgrade to the Fiesty beta, when the final version comes out, is it as easy as doing a sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:00] <nero> ?
[12:00] <nero> or would I have to download the new disks and re-install from scratch?
[12:00] <benoitc_> apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:00] <macd> nero, no, its just apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade
[12:00] <Darwin> According to Wikipedia, the 7.04 release candidate comes out today
[12:00] <Pricey> Darwin, day or two... however may be after weekend.
[12:00] <RedLobster> does anyone know how to reorganize row/columns in an OpenOffice spreadsheet?
