[13:34] <nmditka> K3ito:  so you do have KDE on that system.  are you running in it right now?  I ask because when I had KDE on my system a whole lot of stuff would clash and not work.  Gnome properties would hang, audio would stop running in KDE.  i ended up just picking Gnome and everything works fine.
[13:35] <Eicca> nmditka: was that supposed to come to me?
[13:35] <nmditka> oh wow..  i mixed up usernames really badly

[13:36] <PriitM> Hi! I got external HDD what reports 2gb free room while using ubuntu and 100gb free room on windows system. Folder .trash is 64kb. What could be the problem?
[13:36] <Eicca> I don't have anything on my system, just windows xp
[13:36] <Eicca> I am installing it right now
[13:36] <Eicca> kubuntu
[13:36] <k3ito> nmditka: yes, but it has worked fine before
[13:36] <Eicca> kde + ubuntu
[13:37] <Pici> PriitM: can you pastebin the output of df -h ?
[13:37] <Pici> !paste | PriitM
[13:37] <ubotu> PriitM: 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)
[13:37] <nmditka> K3ito: a software conflict is the only idea i have.  but i don't know much.
[13:38] <PriitM> Pici, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44730/
[13:38] <PriitM> it's /media/Elements drive
[13:39] <k3ito> nmditka: i tried updating some software and it hung then i hard reset adnd noticed it.  don't know 100%that was the cause but it's possible
[13:39] <barbagrossa> hi
[13:39] <nmditka> do you know what file it hung on?
[13:39] <MarcoPau> soundray: disabled automount and mounted sdb1 manually. all regular
[13:39] <Pici> PriitM: Hm.  I'd try using the Graphical Disk Map on it from Gnome, I believe its in Applications>Accessories, just point it at the mountpoint.
[13:39] <k3ito> !xorg
[13:39] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[13:39] <__machine> how can i get a list of all packages installed by apt-get?
[13:40] <jrib> __machine: aptitude search '~i'
[13:40] <bullgard4> What are the properties of the 'safe graphics mode' which you can choose as a menu option and operating mode of the Ubuntu desktop CD?
[13:40] <Pici> __machine: dpkg -l will list all your installed packages, apt-getted or not.
[13:40] <PriitM> Pici, I'll check it out, thanks
[13:40] <nmditka> K3ito: well i would think that would mess more with your graphics than your sound, but it might have something to do with it
[13:41] <nmditka> did you finish the update?
[13:42] <PriitM> Seems that Disk Usage Analyzer is displaying hard drive size wrong - it appears as 203Gb drive, but df -h shows it as 370Gb drive

[13:55] <IdleOne> grindcore: minimum 10gigs for Ubuntu is recommended
[13:56] <smyclops> i also use ubuntu 7.10 the problem is that if i copy files from another machine windows the file will appear with a lock onj it so i can delete it ,so can someone help me on this
[13:56] <rubydiamond> what is the best svn gui client for ubuntu?
[13:56] <grindcore> so if I put 20giig for ubuntu and 1 gig for boot, thats all ?
[13:56] <KIAaze> smartsvn?
[13:56] <huji> Can we assign keyboard shortcuts like Super+K?
[13:56] <KIAaze> but svn is easy compared to cvs
[13:56] <huji> I mean, can Super key be used in combination with other keys?

[13:57] <smyclops> thats where the problem is, it fails to unlock it

[13:58] <knoppix> si, io ci ho provato, ma quando digito i comandi mi dice. COMANDO SCONOSCIUTO!
[13:58] <smyclops> under permissions i try to unlock it but nothing happens there
[13:58] <void^> chanibal: as far as i can see, you're allowing source ports there - those are usually random
[13:59] <IdleOne> knoppix: wrong channel try #ubuntu-it
[13:59] <jrib> rubydiamond: try them all and use what you like best.  KIAaze made a suggestion earlier.  There is also rapidsvn

[14:06] <tantradnya> smyclops: how do u copy files from windows to linux?
[14:06] <ubstud_> but whenever I try it run it..it locks up my computer forcing me to restart
[14:07] <smyclops> i just specify the ip address of the machine then it connect me to shared files
[14:07] <tantradnya> ubstud_:which program did u try to run using wine?
[14:07] <arghh2d2> Hello, good morning, or evening wherever you are...  I just set up a dual boot ubuntu/fedora install and i want to revert to my ubuntu version of grub, how do i do that?
[14:07] <smyclops> so when i copy them they will have a lock on the file
[14:08] <HunterKiller> I'm having graphical glitches, like lines showing up on my screen but they go away if I move my mouse over them
[14:08] <ubstud_> tantradnya, wine just came under applications and I tried to open it from there
[14:08] <HunterKiller> is that a setting glitch or a driver glitch do you guys think?
[14:08] <Whitor> Hi, I'd like to Have Gnome running on Virtual terminal F7, and KDE running on Virtual Terminal F8. Is this possible? and can you reccomend a guid on how to do this?
[14:08] <tantradnya> smyclops: oh, then when u open nautilus using gksudo command, right click on file and set permissions as u do it in windows
[14:08] <ubstud_> tantradnya, I'm trying to run winefile
[14:09] <Whitor> guide*
[14:09] <fous> how do I set up permissions on samba n also writing to my hard drive?

[14:09] <brett_> hey, has anyone had a problem playing dvd's with w32codecs and libdvdcss2 installed?
[14:09] <thomas_> Hi Guys
[14:09] <ankit> what's difference between java and c++
[14:10] <arghh2d2> whitor, i think kde start menu has that option but it sends the second vt to f9 by default
[14:10] <ankit> hi thomas
[14:10] <HunterKiller> it's a different language
[14:10] <brett_> ankit they're two completely different programming languages
[14:10] <ubstud_> tantradyna, I know i've used wine before...but when I installed it on the new ubuntu it won't work at all..it just jams up my computer
[14:10] <jrib> ankit: that's offtopic here, please ask in a programming channel or #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:10] <ubstud_> I can't even open winefile to RUN an windows app
[14:10] <Whitor> arghh2d2: really? I don't care what Terminal it send it to really ... I'll check that out. Thanks !
[14:10] <tantradnya> ubstud_: oh ok
[14:10] <ankit> ok
[14:11] <tantradnya> ubstud_: oh ok, i dont have problem currently
[14:11] <thomas_> i have a huge problem: i installed the nvidia*.run driver and had the nvidia-glx-new packet installed... know the xserver wont start properly... :/
[14:11] <smyclops> its giving mi this error : (nautilus:9101): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[14:11] <smyclops> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[14:11] <HunterKiller> anyone know if white lines on my screen that go away if I mouse over them is a compiz settings problem or a driver problem?
[14:11] <Whitor> arghh2d2: if its possible in KDE... it must be possible from Gnome too ...
[14:11] <Whitor> arghh2d2: thaks, its a help knowing that its possible
[14:11] <jrib> HunterKiller: I would turn off compiz and see if it happens
[14:11] <ubstud_> anyone here using xchat?
[14:12] <ubstud_> how can I change the port what it uses to connect to freenode?
[14:13] <HunterKiller> jrib, it still happens if I go to my appearance settings and select 'none'
[14:13] <thomas_> Better: How can I deinstall a [nvidiadriver].run installation?
[14:13] <arghh2d2> Whitor, possible sure, but alot easier to just login with kde first and start gnome second.  i dont think you can have the same user login in simultaneously tho.
[14:13] <jrib> HunterKiller: then it can't be a compiz problem
[14:13] <rubydiamond>  best GUI client for mysql on Ubuntu?
[14:13] <HunterKiller> so, most likely a driver thing

[14:17] <jrib> !nvidia > thomas_ (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:17] <Tomcat_> ubstud_: In the network settings, there is a server tab, there you can change it.
[14:18] <ubstud_> tomcat..I don't even see network settings
[14:18] <ubstud_> I see network setup under preferences
[14:18] <ubstud_> but I don't want to enable a proxy I just want to connect to freenode using another port
[14:18] <Tomcat_> ubstud_: Well, I can't give you exact names, having a German version here.
[14:19] <Tomcat_> ubstud_: Oh wait... xchat or xchat-gnome?

[14:19] <ubstud_> tomcat, I have both
[14:19] <Tomcat_> ubstud_: I can only help you with xchat-gnome.
[14:19] <Pici> ubstud_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit under heading "Fix 1: Change port" details how to change the port for many different clients.
[14:19] <Tomcat_> ubstud_: The settings dialog should have a network list, and there you can change the servers.
[14:20] <thomas_> jrib, : The problem is i installed accidentaly the *.run driver... know every time i reboot xserver says cant find my graficcard :(
[14:20] <ubstud_> tomcat, okay I have xchat-gnome open I can change the servers but there is no box to change the port
[14:20] <HunterKiller> I have a "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950" graphics card using the "Intel 945GM" chipset and ubuntu has me using the intel i810 driver. It seems to work but I think it is the reason for the ghost lines on my screen. Is there anything I can do about it?
[14:20] <jrib> !xconfig > thomas_ (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:21] <Tomcat_> ubstud_: The servers are always given in "servername/port" notation... so irc.freenode.net/1234 will work.
[14:21] <jrib> thomas_: reconfigure and fall back to the 'nv' driver, then uninstall what you installed, then use the instrucions ubotu first gave you to install them properly
[14:21] <zaharazod> minus198:  try running dmesg in a terminal after you plug in the camera; it may tell you what video device was created

[14:22] <Whitor> Is there any way to change from Gnome to KDE mid session?
[14:22] <zaharazod> minus198:  if it created something other than video0, you may have to give camorama a device option (-d or -c, iirc)
[14:22] <komputes> darn, Does anyone know what in Ubuntu takes care of the brightness?
[14:22] <zaharazod> minus198:  does it mention creating anything under /dev ?
[14:22] <komputes> what file is responsible for brightness buttons?
[14:23] <minus198> zaharazod, Nope.. Doesn't say anything...
[14:23] <Whitor> komputes: I have the same issue... But I have a woorkaround
[14:23] <doviende> HunterKiller: i've got a 945GM on my laptop and i'm using the "i810" driver with no problem
[14:23] <komputes> Whitor: whats your workarround, gotta link?
[14:23] <minus198> zaharazod, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2024/
[14:23] <minus198> Thats what it gives me
[14:23] <ubstud_> that's messed up. Whenever I try to add /8001 after it it just automatically goes away
[14:23] <Whitor> komputes: switch to a virtual terminal ... use your control keys to bring up your brightness, then switch back to ctrl-alt-f7
[14:24] <fous> really what kind of labtop u use?
[14:24] <minus198> zaharazod, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2025/ thats the lsusb output

[14:24] <kpearce> hi. I'm having a problem launching an external application (java web start) from Galeon on Ubuntu. It correctly detects the MIME type, and lists Web Start as one of the handlers for it, but when I try to open it I just get the web-start cache, which would seem to imply that the filename argument isn't getting passed in. Any ideas?

[14:25] <Whitor> ubstud: whats your question?
[14:25] <zaharazod> minus198:  hmm.. don't know about that camera specifically.. its possible you might have to give some options to the module
[14:25] <minus198> zaharazod, maybe so..
[14:25] <ubstud> I install wine from synaptic..after finishing installing wine comes under the "applications" tab and I go to that and try to run wine
[14:25] <doviende> HunterKiller: you could try using the vesa driver, but that would turn off accelleration
[14:25] <ubstud> but it just jams up my computer
[14:25] <HunterKiller> If it's not compiz and it's not my graphics card, why would I be getting glitchy lines on my screen that go away if I mouse over them?
[14:25] <zaharazod> minus198:  are there any files under /dev/video/, perhaps?
[14:26] <Whitor> ubstud: Not saying I can help.... just suggesting you might want to put that out there...
[14:26] <minus198> zaharazod, no /dev/video exists...
[14:26] <zaharazod> i'm not sure how udev under ubuntu labels those things by default
[14:26] <Whitor> ubstud: how does it jam up your compiuter?
[14:26] <minus198> zaharazod, It just isn't there..
[14:26] <ubstud> Whitor, I can't do anything can't move my mouse all of a sudden it freezes
[14:26] <Bitu> Hi folks. I have an old scanner (microtek scanmaker 3740) that works fine on 7.04. I'm trying to make it works on 7.10 64 bit, but gets "Faild to open device 'sm3840:libusb:004:002': Access to resource has been denied". What to do?
[14:26] <Whitor> ubstud: can you switch to a virtual terminal?
[14:26] <HunterKiller> well, not really mouse over them... they go away if I do a selection box over that part of the screen, so I think the dimming effect of the selection box is fixing the glitches temporarily... it could be related to another bug I'm having
[14:26] <zaharazod> minus198:  lsmod output?
[14:26] <Pici> ubstud: What are you trying to run with Wine? Its not a windows emulator.
[14:27] <ubstud> Whitor, virtual terminal?
[14:27] <ubstud> Pici, I know I'm just trying to run a game but I can't even open up wine to run it
[14:27] <Whitor> ubstud: Pici's Q
[14:27] <minus198> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2026/
[14:27] <minus198> zaharazod,
[14:27] <Whitor> you don't open wine...
[14:27] <HunterKiller> you know when the password prompt comes up on the screen and everything else dims? That dimming effect seems to be incorrectly calculating my resolution because it doesn't fill the whole screen. I think that's likely because I use an external monitor for my laptop because my laptop's LCD is broken
[14:27] <Pici> ubstud: You dont open Wine to run games, you need to run something like `wine game.exe`
[14:27] <Whitor> wine opens programs
[14:27] <ubstud> Pici, I've always used winefile to run apps
[14:28] <ubstud> yeah I like the winefile method..that way
[14:28] <Bitu> Hi folks. I have an old scanner (microtek scanmaker 3740) that works fine on 7.04. I'm trying to make it works on 7.10 64 bit, but gets "Faild to open device 'sm3840:libusb:004:002': Access to resource has been denied".
[14:28] <ubstud> that way* I don't have to type in a bunch of stuff into terminal
[14:29] <ubstud> I'm still here that other ubstud_ was when I was using a java irc..couldn't get xchat working
[14:29] <thomas_> Me again. dpkg doenst find a working graphic card... Xserver still says "Running in low graficmode, please select your display manually"
[14:29] <komputes> Whitor: Virtual Terminal? My Fn+F5 or F6 don't work, and those control brightness, how do I troubleshoot?
[14:30] <Bitu> Hi folks. I have an old scanner (microtek scanmaker 3740) that works fine on 7.04. I'm trying to make it works on 7.10 64 bit, but gets "Faild to open device 'sm3840:libusb:004:002': Access to resource has been denied".
[14:31] <HunterKiller> also, anyone know why my screen temporarily blacks out every time I open the screen and graphics dialog or I open the Totem Movie Player?
[14:32] <Bitu> Hi folks. I have an old scanner (microtek scanmaker 3740) that works fine on 7.04. I'm trying to make it works on 7.10 64 bit, but gets "Faild to open device 'sm3840:libusb:004:002': Access to resource has been denied".

[14:32] <sh> i have a question about running windows live writer under wine on ubuntu - can anyone help me out?
[14:33] <ubstud> no one else is experiencing the same problem?
[14:33] <HunterKiller> It's extremely easy to feel ignored here because no one acknowledges what you say for the most part. There's 1200 people in here and about 90 percent of my questions go completely unanswered
[14:33] <Bitu> dgjones: I'm feeling ignored. I'm just assuming that people comes and goes here very often. If now nobody knows the answer, in a few minutes there is a chance some one else will
[14:34] <djm62> when trying to upgrade using the alternative CD from Feisty->Gutsy I get "Could not calculate the upgrade" error.  How can I track it down?
[14:34] <aricz> Hi, anyone know a *good* .XM/.MOD/S3M player for linux?
[14:34] <_Al3x> okay very confuddled here, phoronix reckon they got an x1950 running with full support with the fglrx drivers, although i cant get them to wrok at all, the drivers section on the ATI site says fuck all about the x1950... seriously cofused, any takers?

[14:35] <dgjones> Bitu, they don't change that quick, I'd suggest trying again in half an hour or so, you get a reasonable changeover or users in the channel then
[14:35] <googl1> hi@all
[14:35] <Bitu> dgjones: Thanks.
[14:36] <HunterKiller> they don't change that quick? Since this whole 'don't repeat yourself' thing started I've seen a dozen parts and joins
[14:36] <nucco> anyone used the gnome-voice-control thingy?
[14:37] <dgjones> HunterKiller, but when there's 1200 in the channel, a dozen isn't that many, I'd have said that 100 joins/parts would be more likely to make a difference
[14:38] <HunterKiller> a dozen joins in a couple minutes is a high turnover
[14:38] <zeroflag> is there any way to get frameless window emulation in gnome/ubuntu?
[14:38] <zeroflag> **windows emulation
[14:39] <jrib> zeroflag: what is that?
[14:39] <aleksi> jljlöjöllöjlök
[14:39] <zeroflag> a little more concrete: is there any way to get frameless windows emulation in gnome/ubuntu? I'd like to open a windows program (visualstudio = C++/CLI = incompatible with wine and mono) but have it's windows managed by gnome/compiz.
[14:39] <HunterKiller> zeroflag: you mean like a windows app running inside a virtual machine without having to see that virtual machine's desktop and whatnot
[14:40] <zeroflag> HunterKiller: pretty much, yeah.
[14:40] <HunterKiller> zeroflag: do a google search of something like 'cohesion linux windows'
[14:40] <HunterKiller> zeroflag: There's a lot of tutorials on how to get a cohesion-like effect in linux. I tried it and it works ok
[14:41] <zaharazod> minus198:  hmm.. i would expect to see videodev
[14:41] <minus198> :/
[14:41] <zaharazod> minus198:  it could be built-in on your kernel though.. can you try modprobe'ing it?
[14:41] <zaharazod> (ie. modprobe videodev)
[14:41] <minus198> yeah..
[14:41] <minus198> done
[14:41] <HunterKiller> zeroflag: I'll find you a specific link if you give me a few minutes.
[14:42] <broken_> What do you guys recommend , aptitude or apt-get to install from terminal? And what is the default?
[14:42] <zaharazod> did dmesg output anything?
[14:42] <minus198> zaharazod, not a thing..
[14:42] <xeer> hi everyone. my gnome panel and desktop wont load. i can't alt+F2 either. what could be wrong?
[14:42] <jrib> broken_: aptitude handles dependency tracking better imo.  There is no default
[14:43] <minus198> xeer, something is wrong with nautilus maybe
[14:43] <zaharazod> minus198:  does it show up in lsmod?
[14:43] <maul^> I started my ubuntu, now it asks me for my username&password via GUI. when  ubuntu is in that state, I cannot connect it via VNC. what should I do?
[14:43] <xeer> other applications are acting weird as well, such as firefox crashing unexpectidly

[14:44] <nucco> hey, is it just me, or does xgl consume more memory than the regular xorg?
[14:44] <xeer> i just installed gutsy. i have to login with failsafe gnome just to pass the login screen
[14:44] <genii> broken_: I personally prefer apt-get but mainly for the stupid reason that the other commands I use a lot all begin with same sort of command-name and it is easier to remember etc  eg: apt-cache apt-get apt-proxy apt-mirror
[14:45] <Pici> xeer: You've been running this whole time in the failsafe session?
[14:45] <jrib> zeroflag: here we go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization
[14:45] <xeer> Pici, yes
[14:45] <Pici> xeer: What video card do you have? Have you attempted to install restricted drivers?
[14:45] <dwees> anyone know anything about mtlm_auth version 3.0.25 or greater?
[14:45] <xeer> i have an ati radeon X1600, i have the restricted drivers enabled
[14:46] <xeer> fglrxinfo reports ati
[14:46] <HunterKiller> zeroflag: Still there?
[14:46] <Pici> xeer: and you've never been able to start the regular gnome session?
[14:46] <genii> Whats with these floodbots? I first noticed them day before yesterday
[14:46] <xeer> not since i've updated to gutsy
[14:46] <jrib> genii: tests, ignore them
[14:46] <genii> jrib: Ah, OK
[14:46] <dwees> I'm trying to get wine to work, and it seems to be requesting that application

[14:47] <Sharpie> is there a good program I can use to backup my system? (i mean, regular backups of specific files/folders)
[14:47] <jaym> where do i go to adjust my lcd its way to dim
[14:47] <xeer> also with failsafe it takes about 3-4 times longer to login
[14:47] <jrib> !backup > sharpie (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:47] <HunterKiller> Sharpie: There's a clone of Mac's Time Machine if you want something like that
[14:48] <nucco> pls, how do i disable xserver-xgl without uninstalling it?
[14:48] <Nutubuntu> Is there a how-to on reconfiguring xorg.conf after upgrading from Feisty? For some reason my monitor and mouse settings don't seem to be detected, so I'm back at 800x600 with a generic mouse   :/    do not want
[14:48] <dgjones> Sharpie, There's an application called Unison which seems quite useful for backing up
[14:48] <Sharpie> HunterKiller: yeah i remember reading about it in slashdot
[14:48] <Pici> xeer: Did you install xserver-xgl?
[14:48] <mip> bash
[14:48] <xeer> Pici, i reinstalled it and reconfigured
[14:48] <Andycasss> Is there a way to remotely control the whole system (including console) ?
[14:49] <Andycasss> I think i heard something about ssh
[14:49] <Sharpie> Andycasss: you can use vncviewer
[14:49] <xeer> Pici, oh wait.. xgl.. not that i'm aware of. something else could have installed it
[14:49] <Andycasss> Sharpie, I cant control the console with it
[14:49] <Andycasss> it just locks
[14:49] <jaym> where do i go to adjust my lcd its way to dim
[14:49] <xeer> Pici, yes it's installed
[14:50] <Sharpie> Andycasss: hm, never tried that so i dunno, i'm no help then =[
[14:50] <Andycasss> (ctrl alt f1)
[14:50] <naut-lk> what's the console command for deinstallation?
[14:50] <NMajik> Where does aircrack-ng output the results of the WEP key resolution if none is specified? (I'm only testing my network; I can't enable WPA because some of the computers who connect wirelessly don't seem to like it)
[14:50] <deadlock> im trying to do an install but the auto partioner stales at 0%when scanning the partition table, are there scans or something I should do to, clean up my currenttables/system to make it easier for another install.
[14:50] <Pici> xeer: If you create a new user, can they login sucessfully?
[14:50] <xeer> Pici, i tried creating a guest account. it suffered the same issues.
[14:51] <genii> naut-lk: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>               optionally with --purge to remove old conf files and so on
[14:51] <Sharpie> oh, another thing - earlier i needed to unlock a folder that contained a few image files and it was a root folder, so i opened nautilus as root and then went over all the files and set their owner as my user. is there a better way to do it? (cause the way i did it was really slow)
[14:52] <naut-lk> genii: thanks --purge to remove old config? will they stay on the hd if i don't purge ?
[14:52] <genii> naut-lk: If you don't use the --purge next time you install same app it will use the old configs
[14:52] <xeer> Pici, is there a way to restart the gutsy update process? it was installing the packages and froze midway. I had to resume it after i restarted, i'm sure something got screwed up
[14:52] <eZtaR> Is there a way of doing an 'advanced filesearch' in ubuntu?
[14:52] <naut-lk> genii: ok, thanks
[14:52] <genii> naut-lk: Yes, they remain otherwise in (usually) /etc
[14:53] <eZtaR> i need to search by date added/changed
[14:53] <Andycasss> Pici: do you know, does ssh enable control of the console (alt ctrl f1)
[14:53] <Pici> xeer: If your sources.list contains gutsy lines, you can just do an `apt-get update` apt-get dist-upgrade`
[14:54] <carl_> hey, do happen nothig after tiping enter, for xubuntu instalation ¡¡ what can I do ? :(
[14:54] <Pici> Andycasss: Can you rephrase that, I'm not sure what you're asking.
[14:54] <henry_> MOI
[14:54] <genii> Pici: He wants to know if you ssh in can you switch consoles on remote box usual way
[14:55] <genii> Andycasss: No, you can't
[14:55] <tomasso> anyone know a cron gui in ubuntu?
[14:55] <Pici> Andycasss: if you mean what genii, said, then no.  you need to use something like screen if you want to use that.
[14:55] <Sharpie> earlier i needed to unlock a folder that contained a few images in it and it was a root folder, so i opened nautilus as root and went over all the files and set their owner as my user. is there a better (and faster) way to do it?
[14:55] <systemd0wn> Anyone know of a app i can use to monitor some http servers uptime?  Somthing simple. GUI.
[14:56] <jaym> how can i fix the brightness on my lcd. can barely see it
[14:56] <Thecks> Sharpie, use the console? :p
[14:56] <Andycasss> Pici: Yeah, thats what I meant. Its a pity since I dont have anything else connected to my linuxbox than a power cable and an eth cable
[14:56] <xeer> Pici, it says my dist-upgrade is already complete. how can i force it?
[14:56] <Sharpie> Thecks: and do what? :\
[14:56] <Ballena> is the maximum size of an FAT32 partition 32 GB?
[14:56] <Thecks> Sharpie: Or even just select all the files? (Control+A)
[14:56] <systemd0wn> jaym, Laptop? you try the function keys on the keyboard? Try the gnome brightness applet?
[14:56] <Sharpie> Thecks: can't
[14:57] <Pici> !screen | Andycasss
[14:57] <uhlive> hey guys can anyone of you help me get a boot splash working
[14:57] <ubotu> Andycasss: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[14:57] <HunterKiller> the dimming effect when a password prompt appears is apparently detecting my resolution wrong because the dimming effect only fills the top left two-thirds of my screen. How can I fix this?
[14:57] <Sharpie> Thecks: i mean, then it doesn't have the permissions tab
[14:57] <Thecks> Sharpie: sudo chown username *
[14:57] <jaym> the applet says cannot get laptop brightness applet
[14:57] <Sharpie> Thecks: * means all the files?
[14:57] <jaym> the applet says cannot get laptop panel brightness
[14:57] <Pici> xeer: Does it give you errors, or just says that there are 0 files to upgrade?
[14:57] <Sharpie> Thecks: (so i have to cd to that directory?)
[14:57] <jaym> function keys dont work either
[14:57] <Thecks> * means all files and folders in the current directory :)
[14:57] <Gandalf84> i'm using pacpl but i don't understand where to download and install MAC, http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mac-port/ no more exist

[14:57] <chrisbuddy> i am trying to execute a program from an .sh file but it says that gine does not give permission.  is there any way to work around this?

[14:58] <Thecks> Sharpie: Yes or use /home/username/* if you don't want to CD
[14:58] <Pici> xeer: Sounds to me that the upgrade is done.
[14:58] <genii> systemd0wn: np
[14:58] <systemd0wn> jaym, hrm.  When did it dim?
[14:58] <djm62> quick question, before I break my system: if I run the cdromupgrade script, and select the default Yes about downloading updates from the net, will it preferentially take updates from the CD to save me money downloading, or will I have no luck there?
[14:58] <jaym> i just loaded it and it came up dim
[14:58] <xeer> Pici, yes because i finished it after the crash. i'd like to redo it if possible
[14:58] <jaym> works fine on xp should i reboot?
[14:58] <Sharpie> Thecks: ok, so let's say the folder's called A, i do sudo chown user ~/myfolder and then sudo chown user ~/myfolder/*. correct?

[14:59] <jaym> k
[14:59] <Inuyasha32246> hi all
[14:59] <Pici> xeer: You cant 'redo' an upgrade if its done. It just doesnt work like that.
[14:59] <Thecks> Sharpie for all files in myfolder then yes :)
[14:59] <Inuyasha32246> finally got my radeon 9200se working
[14:59] <Thecks> *. won't do all files
[14:59] <Thecks> Not all files have extensions
[14:59] <xeer> Pici, so if files got corrupted when it froze, i'm pretty much screwed on my dist?
[14:59] <djm62> it's asking me "Do you want to start the upgrade?" and giving me dire warnings about downloading 1253M.  I can't afford to download that, which is why I had the CD sent to me.
[14:59] <erUSUL> djm62: it will take the things that have not been updated from the cd
[14:59] <Sharpie> Thecks: i meant . as the end of the sentence
[14:59] <Inuyasha32246> DON"T UPGRADE YET
[14:59] <genii> Sharpie: Wouldn't sudo chown username -R ~/foldername           be more efficient?

[15:00] <Bitu> Hi folks. I have an old scanner (microtek scanmaker 3740) that works fine on 7.04. I'm trying to make it works on 7.10 64 bit, but gets "Faild to open device 'sm3840:libusb:004:002': Access to resource has been denied".
[15:00] <Pici> Inuyasha32246: If you know, then why are you doing it?
[15:00] <Inuyasha32246> chill homie
[15:00] <Thecks> Was about to say you can use recursive if you want to do all files and folders no matter how deep
[15:00] <erUSUL> djm62: it depends on what you have installed on your machine
[15:00] <Sharpie> genii: so i'm guessing -R means the dir and everything in it?
[15:00] <LjL> djm62: if it's going to *download* 1253M (download, or *install*?), then a CD will save you about half of that, but no more
[15:00] <systemd0wn> genii, you use webalizer before?
[15:01] <broken_> Whenever I turn on my computer (19 inch widescreen) my monitor goes blank until the login page says something about out of sync 90hz / 60 refresh
[15:01] <genii> Sharpie: Yes, Recursivley
[15:01] <broken_> How can I fix this?
[15:01] <Thecks> Sharpie: -R is recursive, so it will do all files and folders in that directory even the files 10 folders deep
[15:01] <genii> bleh typos
[15:01] <hussam> ahh good ol ubuntu
[15:01] <Sharpie> genii: ok, thanks =o
[15:01] <Pici> xeer: If anything didn't install or configure properly, then it would have said so and prompted you to fix it.
[15:01] <jmagder> Has anyone had a problem where they restart their computer, and it resumes from a hibernate file, even though they "restarted" and didn't hibernate?
[15:01] <systemd0wn> genii, Its a log analyzer?  I was looking to monitor a remove server
[15:01] <Inuyasha32246> so suddenly firefox font zoom is fuked up

[15:01] <hussam> jmagder: statee it
[15:01] <Inuyasha32246> and no i didnt accidentally ctrl+
[15:01] <genii> systemd0wn: Since the web logs also contain the uptime of the webserver it is there too
[15:01] <jmagder> hussam: Sorry, not sure what you mean. :)
[15:02] <hussam> jmagder: did u reboot it from the system or did u force one?
[15:02] <Inuyasha32246> any ideas?
[15:02] <jaym> now its fine and bright
[15:02] <jatt> W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/smbfs_3.0.22-1ubuntu3.4_i386.deb
[15:02] <jatt> 403 Forbidden
[15:02] <djm62> LjL: at this stage I'm confused.  it's reporting that it's going to download 1253M, but I'm running it off the cdrom and presumably most of that should be on the CD.  I can't imagine that I have the default install plus a gigabyte plus of random extras.  if I do, I can afford to remove them, but I can't download that much
[15:02] <jatt> ?
[15:02] <systemd0wn> genii, right but if the server is down i wont know right now. i will know when i have access to the logs again :)
[15:02] <Sharpie> i'll be more specific this time, let's say i want to backup my firefox profile folder (~/.mozilla/..) every day. which program would be best suited for the task?
[15:02] <jmagder> hussam: I think I just restarted from the shutdown menu.  I had hibernated a reboot before that.
[15:02] <jatt> trying to update dapper
[15:02] <hussam> hrmm
[15:02] <Inuyasha32246> simplebackup
[15:02] <hussam> are u sure this is a linuX problem
[15:03] <hussam> this happens in Xp quite a few times
[15:03] <Thecks> Sharpie: A cron job
[15:03] <hussam> ooo wait
[15:03] <hussam> logg the session off
[15:03] <LjL> djm62, try changing the sources.list manually to gutsy (keep a backup!), and doesn't an apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade, but WITHOUT saying "Yes"... just look at what it says it's going to download.  just to make sure it's not just update manager going mad
[15:03] <Inuyasha32246> sudo apt-get install sbackup
[15:03] <jmagder> hussam: Yes, its a linux problem.  Unfortunately it corrupted my HD.  I rebooted and so many inodes were then linked together.
[15:03] <LjL> djm62: then restore the backup sources.list
[15:03] <Inuyasha32246> for sharpie
[15:03] <genii> systemd0wn: A simple thing you could do is write a shell script that does a ps |grep apache         then if not true emails you a note the webserver is not running
[15:04] <LjL> djm62: and when i said "and doesn't", i meant "and do".
[15:04] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: try to start the sentence with "Sharpie:", that way it's highlighted
[15:04] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: anyway, i'll try it, thanks
[15:04] <Inuyasha32246> kk
[15:04] <djm62> LjL: Good Call, and exactly the sort of advice I was looking for
[15:04] <hussam> jmagder: hrmmm...... force an unpected reboot like directly from the cpu
[15:04] <jmagder> hussam: you mean using sudo reboot?
[15:05] <Inuyasha32246> so any ideas why my firefox fonts suddenly changed in size?
[15:05] <dimeotane> is there a way to edit the xubuntu menu?  I want the kids account not to show accessories or system tools
[15:05] <hussam> nope
[15:05] <hussam> cutt the supple of power
[15:05] <hussam> then plug it back it
[15:05] <genii> systemd0wn: As far as some gui app which you can monitor the webserver...consider, if the server is down and the app runs there, you will be in a catch-22 of not being able to access it and so know the server is down etc
[15:05] <broken_> Whenever I turn on my computer (19 inch widescreen) my monitor goes blank until the login page says something about out of sync 90hz / 60 refresh :/
[15:05] <dimeotane> Inuyasha32246: you can change fonts with mouse scroll button and alt +
[15:05] <Pici> dimeotane: I suggest asking in #xubuntu, most of us here use Gnome not xfce.
[15:05] <Inuyasha32246> ok
[15:06] <Inuyasha32246> thats nice and all, but should I worry that they changed on their own?
[15:06] <dimeotane> how do I configure the gnome menu then
[15:06] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: um, is there a GUI in this app? :\
[15:06] <Inuyasha32246> yeah
[15:06] <Sharpie> uh, where
[15:06] <jatt> is security.ubuntu.com down?
[15:06] <clockbiscuit> ctrl + mouse scroll does fonts
[15:06] <Pici> dimeotane: right click the menu title and go to edit.

[15:06] <systemd0wn> genii, Well its shared hosting so thats not going to work. :)  I suppose i could write something for nmap, have it Ping the remote webserver then have it check to see if port 80 is open.  Ya im looking to run something on my laptop to check if the remote webserver is functioning.  Something to give me a basic uptime graph.
[15:06] <akincer> broken: your refresh settings are not right for your monitor as configured for x.org it sounds like

[15:06] <Gun_Smoke> Has there been any thought into spliting the Ubuntu channel?  Not as in +1 or -offtopic, or the like.  But to limit traffic?  I've been visiting this channel for some time now.. I remember when there would only be around ~400 in the channel an it was much easier to follow along with what was going on.
[15:07] <jatt> gunashekar: ok thanks
[15:07] <strk_> since upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy I get this: ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so: undefined symbol: cairo_clip_extents
[15:07] <strk_> any idea how to fix it ?
[15:07] <broken_> akincer: how can i fix this?  I remembered something about dpkg-reconfigure-xorg-server
[15:07] <Inuyasha32246> Gun_Smoke \ thats a good idea
[15:07] <gunashekar> jatt: it is working now
[15:07] <genii> systemd0wn: Or just have a dummy file that you wget and report if success or no
[15:08] <Pici> Gun_Smoke: Yes, its been discussed many times. The decision is always not to do it.  Short answer, we'd end up with so much traffic sending people to other channels that its not even worth it.
[15:08] <akincer> broken: First find the settings for your monitor. Most new monitors have the settings on the sticker on the back
[15:08] <systemd0wn> genii, ya that could work :)
[15:08] <Inuyasha32246> yeah thats true enough
[15:08] <Symmetria> urgh can someone tell me how to configure ip addresses on interfaces in ubuntu in cli, which files do i edit
[15:08]  * Symmetria has used bsd for far 2 long
[15:08] <Inuyasha32246> hehe
[15:08] <systemd0wn> genii, ah :( but i wanted pretty graphs and stuff... eh' oh well i guess i will have to take functionality over form this time
[15:08] <Nutubuntu> After upgrading from Feisty my monitor and mouse settings don't seem to be detected, so I'm back at 800x600 with a generic mouse, how do I reconfigure to get my old settings back?
[15:08] <Inuyasha32246> sudo apt-get install xorg-edit
[15:09] <genii> Symmetria: /etc/network/interfaces  normally. Do man interfaces for help
[15:09] <Symmetria> thanks gentii
[15:09] <Symmetria> genii I mean
[15:09] <akincer> broken: Then you can do one of two things -- 1) Use the screens and graphics utility under System > Administration > Screens and Graphics OR 2) Hand edit your xorg.conf file
[15:09] <Inuyasha32246> Sorry Nutubuntu
[15:09] <Inuyasha32246> that was to you
[15:09] <genii> Symmetria: np
[15:09] <broken_> akincer: this monitor supports up to 76hz refresh rate supposedly, but right now i can only use 60hz
[15:09] <Inuyasha32246> whats wrong with 60hz
[15:09] <broken_> akincer:  can I not reconfigure xorg?
[15:09] <Nutubuntu> Thanks Inuyasha32246 ... I saw "xorg" and figured that it must be :)
[15:09] <akincer> broken: I actually recommend editing xorg.conf by hand in cases where things don't seem right
[15:09] <Inuyasha32246> of course you can
[15:09] <brobostigon> hi
[15:09] <freak124> I have deinstalled ubuntu and now I'm trying to reinstall it, thoug there is something strange going on: nautilus can see my other partitions and so can windows, but the installer and gparted can't, so I can't install ubuntu again. I could try the alternate cd to install, but that wouldn't solve the problems. I hope someone can help, I've been asking this for about 3 months now...
[15:09] <akincer> broken: Sure, you can do that if you prefer
[15:10] <broken_> Alright.. one of my concerns is I can actually see the background twitching the pixels or I don't know what it is..
[15:10] <Inuyasha32246> during install list option no acpi
[15:10] <strk_> FYI: I found it was due to a cairo package manually installed, uninstallign the manual installation fixed it
[15:10] <broken_> I'm not sure what attributes to that.
[15:10] <Inuyasha32246> freak124
[15:11] <Symmetria> hrm thats odd, in /etc/network/interfaces I have a definition that looks right but it doesnt start on boot
[15:11] <djm62> LjL: that's weird, dist-upgrade says it needs to get 1616M, as opposed to 1253M which would imply that  only 363 MB of packages would come off the CD.  is that sane?
[15:11] <akincer> broken: You need to make sure both your horizontal and vertical refresh rates are in line with specs
[15:11] <Inuyasha32246> I dont know why but that worked for me and I had the same problem
[15:11] <broken_> ok..
[15:11] <Gun_Smoke> At the moment I can only keep about ~30 sec of posts in the window, with larger post such as freak124's its even less.  Perhaps the topic should be revisited.
[15:11] <Nutubuntu> Inuyasha3224 - do I need to enable some non-default repos for xorg-edit? can't find it in aptitude
[15:11] <freak124> Inuyasha32246, where is that?
[15:11] <Inuyasha32246> h/o freak
[15:11] <freak124> ok
[15:11] <Inuyasha32246> nutu, yes
[15:11] <xeer> i'm so confused. when i login my gdm will blank the screen brown and then do nothing. eventually it restarts back to the login.
[15:11] <broken_> akincer: on the back of my monitor it says "50/60Hz" im not sure what the first number is, but the second is refresh?
[15:12] <akincer> broken: Newer monitors often will alert you when your settings aren't optimal with a little box that says something like "For best performance, use . . . ."
[15:12] <Inuyasha32246> you need to open a web browser, type in google.com, and search for xorg-edit
[15:12] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: i'm in sbackup but the destination dialog doesn't let me choose a different partition (or even browse to the /media dir)
[15:12] <LjL> djm62, no, it doesn't sound very sane to me... try giving me a pastebin of your sources.list
[15:12] <snowniak_> help!
[15:12] <akincer> broken: When in doubt, go to the manufacturers website
[15:12] <Inuyasha32246> why would you want to backup a media drive
[15:12] <Inuyasha32246> ?
[15:12] <snowniak_> does anybody knows how to set the ulimit's on linux??
[15:12] <Inuyasha32246> thats temp storage
[15:13] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: i wanna backup from sda to sdb
[15:13] <Inuyasha32246> ah
[15:13] <ikonia> snowniak_: ulimt is the command
[15:13] <snowniak_> like stacksize?
[15:13] <Inuyasha32246> no shiz
[15:13] <Inuyasha32246> ok
[15:13] <zeroflag> is there any way to get frame-/seamless windows emulation in gnome/ubuntu? I'd like to open a windows program (visualstudio = C++/CLI = incompatible with wine and mono) but have it's windows managed by gnome/compiz. the seamless solution on the wiki 1) doesn't work 2) for me.
[15:13] <snowniak_> but ulimit only shows
[15:13] <Symmetria> hrm what is the name of the graphical network config app in ubuntu btw?
[15:13] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: so is there no way to do it with sbackup? :\
[15:13] <ikonia> snowniak_: no you can use ulimit to set
[15:13] <Symmetria> if I wanted to start it manually with a command
[15:13] <Inuyasha32246> ok real quick, any one who i am helping, plz comment now
[15:13] <Inuyasha32246> i forgot
[15:13] <pshr> sbackup sucks, just do a tar backup of the things u want backed up
[15:14] <jrib> zeroflag: "doesn't work"?  You need to provide more details
[15:14] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: is there no way to choose another partition in sbackup?
[15:14] <DavidVector> I'm having a strange php error on restarting apache -- Ubuntu Gutsy -- http://pastebin.com/m2ad5aed.  Ideas anyone
[15:14] <djm62> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44741/ there it is
[15:14] <Inuyasha32246> yesyes there is
[15:14] <Sharpie> how? :\
[15:14] <ikonia> DavidVector: you've messed with your php.ini
[15:14] <Inuyasha32246> you obviously figured out the using custom part
[15:15] <zeroflag> jrib: 1) it's kinda bitchy in what it likes to launch and what it doesn't and 2) I need my target application to spawn new windows and even processes (it's an IDE with debugger after all) which won't work with the proposed solution.
[15:15] <Inuyasha32246> under include
[15:15] <Inuyasha32246> add directory
[15:15] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: yes, i chose the dir i wanted
[15:15] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: but the destination is the problem
[15:15] <djm62> LjL: the new version was just that with s/feisty/gutsy/g
[15:15] <kalpik> DavidVector, maybe there is a file included round about near that line.. so the problem could be in another file..
[15:16] <h1voltage> I need to blacklist a kernel module before booting to the Gutsy livecd.  Anyone know the boot parameter for that?
[15:16] <Inuyasha32246> im not getting your drife
[15:16] <Inuyasha32246> you want to backup TO a partition
[15:16] <broken_> akincer: in my xorg.conf there is no area that talks about refresh rates, and / or syncs
[15:16] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: i want to set /media/sdb as my destination
[15:16] <ikonia> DavidVector: you did use the php and apache versions out of the official ubuntu repo's didn't you ?
[15:16] <Inuyasha32246> not your primary i suppose?
[15:16] <Sharpie> Inuyasha32246: nope
[15:16] <ikonia> DavidVector: did you change anything in your php.ini
[15:16] <Symmetria> hrm other than sticking an interface definition in /etc/network/interfaces is there anything else I need to do to make it process that definition on boot

[15:17] <Ax-Ax> ok

[15:18] <DavidVector> ikonia:  I thought so too, but could not find anything interesting near the line.  Also, I get this error if I delete php.ini altogether (!)
[15:18] <LjL> djm62: it's a bit of a mess with repeated repositories, but that shouldn't really affect anything... but there IS one thing, i would NOT keep the proposed repositories enabled, ever, and especially when upgrading. i don't know if that might account for such a huge difference in downloaded size... but try removing them and seeing

[15:20] <ikonia> DavidVector so you've deleted the php.ini file and its still complaining

[15:26] <broken_> akincer:  ok.
[15:26] <ubotu> JordiGH: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[15:26] <DavidVector> ikonia: yup.
[15:26] <Inuyasha32246> oh ish, i forgot broken_, sorry man
[15:26] <akincer> Horizsync       30.0-83.0
[15:26] <graulich> Inuyasha32246, second tab where?
[15:26] <Ax-Ax> Does the Windows-installer destroy my partitions?
[15:26] <Inuyasha32246> oh jezus
[15:26] <akincer> Vertrefresh     56.0-75.0
[15:26] <ikonia> DavidVector: isn't there a command line option for php that will print config , eg: php --info and you can see where it wants to look for the config file, it prints the ssame as "phpinfo();"
[15:26] <Pici> Ax-Ax: Only if you tell it to.  Otherwise it just overwrites the mbr(grub)
[15:26] <Eicca> and finally it gives this "Invalid loop location /gparted.dat"
[15:26] <Inuyasha32246> which version are you on?
[15:27] <djm62> LjL: after that change it still claims that I have to download 1143M, so it had an effect
[15:27] <broken_> akincer: ok got that, Horizsync 30-83 Vertrefresh 56-75
[15:27] <graulich> Inuyasha32246, I'm on Gutsy running xubuntu-desktop (but I have all the gnome stuff from before I put on xubuntu-desktop)
[15:27] <JordiGH> soundray: I ask because it looks like I'll have to manually add an entry to fstab for the NTFS partition. Do I have to do it with that UUID thing?
[15:27] <HunterKiller> I have few graphical bugs... I get visual artifacts in the form of lines across my screen until I do something like drag a selection box over the area or move a window over the area and the dimming effect when I'm asked for a password when I open the package manager doesn't fill my whole screen.
[15:27] <akincer> broken: Yep, one per line
[15:27] <HunterKiller> can someone help me?
[15:27] <Inuyasha32246> ok
[15:27] <broken_> akincer: and this all goes under section monitor?
[15:27] <akincer> yes
[15:28] <Inuyasha32246> im in full gnome, so I'm not sure if you even have the same sound properties window as i do
[15:28] <Eicca> can someone help me?
[15:28] <akincer> broken: then restart X
[15:28] <soundray> JordiGH: no, you can use old-style device names and UUIDs interchangeably. Your NTFS partition does have a UUID though -- find out with blkid
[15:28] <Inuyasha32246> can i get a verify on the following terminal command to help graulich
[15:28] <Inuyasha32246> rm mod esd
[15:28] <DavidVector> ikonia: phpinfo shows that it is looking for the .ini file in /etc/php5/apache2
[15:29] <Inuyasha32246> eicca
[15:29] <broken_> ok akincer one sec
[15:29] <soundray> Inuyasha32246: no, that's wrong
[15:29] <djm62> LjL: crazy-ish idea.  if I transfer the files from the CD to /var/cache/apt/archives would that fool it into believing that I already have them?
[15:29] <Inuyasha32246> were getting to you
[15:29] <gunashekar> Eicca: just type your request fully. i am sure someone will have an answer
[15:29] <Inuyasha32246> Eicca: were getting to you
[15:29] <ikonia> DavidVector: that is very odd
[15:29] <Inuyasha32246> it is
[15:29] <DavidVector> ikonia: It also gives a series of other files that are being parsed . . . perhaps I'll need to track them down.
[15:29] <Inuyasha32246> ty sound tray
[15:29] <JordiGH> soundray: So is this UUID a level of generality I need not concern myself with?
[15:29] <graulich> Inuyasha32246, "no such directory"
[15:29] <broken_> akincer: xserver fatal error
[15:29] <ikonia> DavidVector possible, I've not seen that behaviour before
[15:29] <soundray> JordiGH: please look at the links that ubotu sent.
[15:30] <ganeshhegde> how to run cpp file
[15:30] <akincer> broken: That's the right setting for you monitor.  Should I look them all up in Wikipedia?
[15:30] <Inuyasha32246> ok basically you want to figure out how to remove esd from the startup modules
[15:30] <soundray> JordiGH: I personally would use a UUID whenever possible
[15:30] <akincer> http://ca.lge.com/en/products/model/detail/lcdmonitors_l194wtx.jhtml
[15:30] <ganeshhegde> how to compile c++ program
[15:30] <broken_> akincer: let me look at out[put
[15:30] <Inuyasha32246> you wont have that happy go lucky startup noise any more
[15:30] <ikonia> ganeshhegde if you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it
[15:31] <Tomcat_> ganeshhegde: g++ myprog.cpp
[15:31] <Inuyasha32246> but it should fix the problem of breaking xine after playing sounds in a web browser
[15:31] <JordiGH> Btw, the ubot factoid is wrong. blkid doesn't need sudo.
[15:31] <soundray> JordiGH: what's the problem you're trying to solve? Just mounting an NTFS partition through fstab?
[15:31] <broken_> "Horizsync" is not a valid keyword in this section akincer
[15:31] <Inuyasha32246> ganeshhegde: get geany
[15:31] <broken_> akincer: if memory serves me right its "HorizSync" ?
[15:31] <DavidVector> ikonia:  I put this into launchpad early this morning as #17967 -- if you think of anything, pls post there.  Perhaps there's a debug troface of some kind that can show every step of PHP initialization?
[15:31] <ikonia> broken_ HorizSync
[15:31] <Inuyasha32246> sudo apt-get install geany
[15:31] <JordiGH> soundray: Yep. I'm running afoul of some KDE bug where such automounting isn't happening automatically.
[15:31] <broken_> yea..
[15:31] <broken_> ok
[15:31] <ikonia> DavidVector: I will, I'm just running a test on a 7.04 box as my 7.10 box is not turned on
[15:31] <graulich> Inuyasha32246, I have access to all the gnome setting panels; where would I find this option?
[15:31] <akincer> on mine, it's Horizsync
[15:31] <sanguisdex> so a song just ended on banchee and now no more song will play and when I try any thing else that uses the sound card it play w/o sound (and yes I have checked my volume leves) what do I have to restart?
[15:32] <ikonia> akincer maybe I'm wrong
[15:32] <Inuyasha32246> system>preferances-sound
[15:32] <JordiGH> And how does ntfs-3g work? Does it go under fs type instead of plain ntfs?
[15:32] <graulich> happen to know the command to that Inuyasha32246?
[15:32] <soundray> !ntfs-3g | JordiGH
[15:32] <ubotu> JordiGH: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[15:32] <DavidVector> ikonia: you are a prince.  I'll sign out now, but contact me via the launchpad note if you find anything.  Thkx much!
[15:33] <ikonia> DavidVector I wll
[15:33] <akincer> looks like x.org has it as HorizSync
[15:33] <JordiGH> And is it really stable? I've heard horror stories.
[15:33] <ikonia> will
[15:33] <akincer> I'm not certain it's case sensitive
[15:33] <Inuyasha32246> one sec grau
[15:33] <broken_> akincer: yep, its case sensitive however I cannot get back to the xorg.conf
[15:33] <broken_> to edit it.. :/ lol
[15:33] <sanguisdex> Inuyasha3224: ok when I test the sound events I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing."
[15:33] <Inuyasha32246> gnome-sound-properties
[15:33] <akincer> haha. safe boot
[15:34] <Inuyasha32246> oh my jezus
[15:34] <broken_> akincer:  how do you propose i do that?
[15:34] <ganeshhegde> Tomcat_:i have gcc instaled
[15:34] <akincer> interesting that my computer doesn't complain with the S lower case
[15:34] <Inuyasha32246> i cant handle this
[15:34] <Inuyasha32246> ok
[15:34] <akincer> Reboot and go into grub boot options
[15:34] <JordiGH> Are aptitude and apt-get interchangeable in Ubuntu? Under Debian, they heavily disagree on what to install, with aptitude being smarter. Does apt-get in Ubuntu install recommends by default?
[15:34] <broken_> yes akincer  but remmeber i don't have a display :)
[15:34] <Inuyasha32246> anyone who i am helping IM me at surfjdh on aim yahoo msn or icq
[15:34] <akincer> that won't matter on boot
[15:34] <graulich> thx Inuyasha32246 :)
[15:34] <techjim> any1 have a problem where the mouse cursor leaves behind sticky frames?  videos also have low fps on gutsy.  worked fine on feisty
[15:34] <grindcore> can someone give me couple of answers about install ubuntu 7.10 on private chat?
[15:34] <akincer> If your monitor isn't showing boot screens, you've got a broken monitor
[15:35] <broken_> rofl
[15:35] <broken_> Its not displaying it because of sync issues
[15:35] <broken_> Oh oops, I missed that.
[15:35] <akincer> broken: X isn't running at boot
[15:35] <Inuyasha32246> akincer: If your monitor isn't showing boot screens, you've got a broken monitor"      what?
[15:35] <soundray> JordiGH: use my nick so I don't miss your replies. Yes, ntfs-3g is stable
[15:35] <Inuyasha32246> no x at boot man
[15:35] <soundray> JordiGH: the usual wisdom about backups applies
[15:35] <akincer> You know, ram checks, Dell/HP/whatever splash screens
[15:36] <akincer> I'm not sure what's so difficult to understand about that
[15:36] <godzirra> howdy folks.  How come ubuntu doesn't execute .bashrc or .bash_profile if I'm using bash as my shell?
[15:36] <WinterWeaver> I cannot connect to the router on my network. the Page just keeps loading, but nothing shows. Please help
[15:36] <broken_> akincer: in either case i got in, I changed the spelling to "HorizSync" and it outputs the same error "HorizSync" is not a valid keyword fo this section.
[15:37] <Inuyasha32246> i am no longer trying to help people in this chaos
[15:37] <akincer> Hmmm.
[15:37] <MattJ> godzirra: I think it does for me...
[15:37] <broken_> This is under monitor.l
[15:37] <Inuyasha32246> if you need help with gnome, xorg, or ati
[15:37] <MattJ> godzirra: I use it to set a colour prompt
[15:37] <Inuyasha32246> give me an external
[15:37] <akincer> Under root heading Section "Monitor"
[15:37] <JordiGH> soundray: I'm not always replying to you. Sometimes I simply ask in general. :-)
[15:37] <godzirra> MattJ: Well crud.  it doesnt for me.
[15:37] <kuta> how to keep my kubuntu updated ?
[15:37] <godzirra>  MattJ and I've no idae why :/
[15:37] <soundray> JordiGH: fine, your loss
[15:38] <broken_> akincer: sorry I must be on something this morning.. probably lack of sleep, I was typing it in screen >.<
[15:38] <akincer> broken: it will be the very first time Section "Monitor" appears
[15:38] <MattJ> godzirra: I use .bashrc, don't know about _profile
[15:38] <ganeshhegde> I hav gcc installed how to compile a c++ program?
[15:38] <grindcore> can someone give me couple of answers about install ubuntu 7.10 on private chat?
[15:38] <erUSUL> !pm
[15:38] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[15:38] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: Is this a programe you wrote yourself?
[15:39] <godzirra> hrm.
[15:39] <WinterWeaver> I cannot connect to the router on my network. the Page just keeps loading, but nothing shows. Please help
[15:39] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: In general, for C++ you'll need the g++ package which, technically, yes, is part of gcc.
[15:39] <MattJ> godzirra: Maybe an error in the script?
[15:39] <MattJ> godzirra: Permissions not right?
[15:39] <akincer> broken: did that fix it?
[15:40] <broken_> akincer: startx, and it worked fine, shoudl I be worried that I do have the otpion for higher then 60hz in the screen resolution options?
[15:40] <ganeshhegde>  JordiGH:ok...i wrote it in turbo c....need to compile in linux platform
[15:40] <broken_> akincer: but other then that it worked.
[15:40] <broken_> I haveto reboot to see if I get a load up screen.
[15:40] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: Did you use standard C++?
[15:40] <akincer> broken: I always trust the documentation and not what options I'm given in the OS

[15:43] <broken_> I will try my dvi-d cable now see if that changes.
[15:43] <kuta> how to backup handphone contact using a usb cable?
[15:44] <JordiGH> Great, ntfs-config isn't actually doing anything and my ntfs partition still isn't mounted. :-/
[15:44] <ganeshhegde> JordiGH:I used it...#include<conio.h>
[15:45] <akincer> broken: Under monitor, do you have any modeline settings? For example
[15:45] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: That's not standard C++. It won't compile under a GNU system.
[15:45] <akincer> modeline  "1024x768@75" 78.8 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync
[15:45] <Inuyasha32246> if you need help with gnome, xorg, or ati give me an external, aim=surfjdh
[15:45] <kuta> is there a iSybc like in OSX for ubuntu?
[15:45] <ganeshhegde> JordiGH:then what should i do?how co compile?
[15:45] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: If your code is short, paste it somewhere. I can help you figure out what parts of your code aren't standard C++ and thus won't compile.
[15:46] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: You'll have to modify your code.
[15:46] <broken_> akincer: no
[15:46] <soundray> kuta: search in synaptic for "motorola phone" and you'll see a few relevant packages
[15:46] <ganeshhegde> ya i ll pestbin it

[15:47] <akincer> broken: No, I mean 1024x768 ...
[15:47] <ushaba> is it possible to alter the desktop menus in gnome the way one can in kde?
[15:47] <broken_> Ugh i'm so irritated, I plug in this dvi-d cable and it gives me no signal either.
[15:47] <broken_> akincer: 1400x900
[15:47] <ushaba> basically making middle-click the desktop menu and right click an applications menu?
[15:48] <JordiGH> Ah, ntfs-config worked now. But it wouldn't let me mount wherever I wanted.
[15:49] <akincer> broken: I'm trying to figure out how to construct that modeline for you
[15:49] <ganeshhegde> JordiGH: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44745/
[15:49] <broken_> akincer: much appreciated
[15:49] <kuta> any opensource for ubuntu to create flash?
[15:50] <ushaba> any gnome gurus here?
[15:50] <saul1> ola
[15:50] <JordiGH> kuta: Flash isn't open source, so no.
[15:50] <o00w> what does "install: missing destination file operand after " mean?
[15:50] <JordiGH> kuta: The format itself, I mean.
[15:50] <Inuyasha32246> right here ushaba
[15:50] <ushaba> ok, inuyasha
[15:50] <kuta> thanks
[15:50] <mavi-> there is opensource flash players
[15:50] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: Wow, you're using some very pre-standard C++. #include <iostream.h> is waaaay deprecated.
[15:50] <mavi-> but no creators
[15:50] <ushaba> i just have a question about editing the desktop menu
[15:50] <Inuyasha32246> ok
[15:51] <kuta> but I need to create flash
[15:51] <ushaba> i want to make the right click raise an applications menu
[15:51] <JordiGH> kuta: Then perhpas you'd like to help the people who are reverse engineering flash.
[15:51] <ushaba> and the middle be the original desktop menu if possible
[15:51] <Inuyasha32246> hrm
[15:51] <Inuyasha32246> lets see
[15:51] <ushaba> is this a nautilus script problem?
[15:51] <ushaba> or is there an easier way to accomplish this?
[15:51] <kuta> jordiGH: what u mean?
[15:51] <Inuyasha32246> oh theres an easier way
[15:52] <ushaba> i basically want it to work like fluxbox or even kde does
[15:52] <JordiGH> kuta: Reverse engineer flash. Help us write a flash creator. For this, we have to first figure out how flash works, since Adobe won't tell us.
[15:52] <broken_> On a side note, is there a way to monitor cpu temps with ubuntu? A nice gui progrm
[15:52] <Paddy_EIRE>       kuta there is no alternative to flash professional on linux
[15:52] <ushaba> inuyasha?
[15:53] <Aw0L> anyone know how to install a package with support for something specific?  like nmap with or without X support?
[15:53] <soundray> ushaba: gnome isn't very customization-friendly like that.
[15:53] <soundray> broken_: use mbmon. You can run it from a script and use zenity to create GUI output.
[15:53] <ushaba> soundray: i've noticed
[15:54] <mavi-> JordiGH: there is open source flash programs
[15:54] <ushaba> this is the only big problem i have with gnome though
[15:54] <Pici> Aw0L: nmap doesnt have X support...
[15:54] <Paddy_EIRE> ushaba, perhaps you should try xfce?
[15:54] <JordiGH> mavi-: Which are not yet complete.
[15:54] <ushaba> everything else is decent and reliable, and chinese works fine
[15:54] <JordiGH> mavi-: And like you said, only players.
[15:54] <ushaba> last time i used xfce, applications would mysteriously die constnatly and had to be killed from the terminal
[15:54] <ushaba> that was last year, maybe it's better now
[15:54] <ganeshhegde> JordiGH:then which is d standard 1?can u help in compiling this?
[15:54]  * Rabiddog bbl, gotta goto work
[15:54] <mavi-> JordiGH: there is several projects developing IDEs for creating them to
[15:54] <mavi-> no need to reverse-engineer anything
[15:55] <Aw0L> Pici, no nmap gui in ubuntu huh?  Well, what I really want is rsync with acl support...how can you specify this is ubuntu/debian?
[15:55] <JordiGH> mavi-: Flash isn't completely reverse engineered yet, is it?
[15:55] <Paddy_EIRE> no its not JordiGH
[15:55] <JordiGH> mavi-: I thought the Gnash people still had issues figuring out parts of Flash 9.
[15:55] <soundray> ushaba: is using the logo keys an option?
[15:55] <ushaba> logo keys?
[15:55] <JordiGH> kuta: Btw, you may want to take a look at Processing. It isn't exactly flash, but it's close.
[15:55] <ushaba> the so-called windows keys?
[15:55] <akincer> broken: modeline  "1440x900" 105.75 1440 1488 1520 1600 900 903 909 931 +HSync -Vsync
[15:55] <Pici> Aw0L: if thats not how the rsync package was compiled, then you'll have to compile it from source.
[15:56] <akincer> broken: try that. I'm not convinced it will work
[15:56] <soundray> ushaba: between Ctrl and Alt in my case, and there's one showing a menu pictogram on the right as well
[15:56] <JordiGH> kuta: Processing is based on Java which isn't free yet, but it's a lot closer to being free than Flash is.
[15:56] <ushaba> yeah, it's a think pad
[15:56] <ushaba> haha
[15:57] <Aw0L> Pici, ok, thanks
[15:57] <Isolder> i have just installed ubuntu server for the first time and i am totally unsure what's up
[15:57] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: I'm not sure if it's worth it. Basically, you should be doing #include <iostream> instead of #include <iostream.h> and #include <cstdlib> instead of #include<stdlib.h>
[15:57] <Pici> JordiGH: Saying that processing is close to flash is a bit of a stretch imo.
[15:57] <ushaba> there must be some text file somewhere in gnome where i can tell it to listen to me
[15:57] <ushaba> it can launch the debian menu for all i care
[15:57] <Isolder> Am I supposed to have sudo access with the initial user I set up during server install?
[15:57] <JordiGH> Pici: It's for writing interactive web apps. ;-)
[15:57] <Inuyasha32246> yeah
[15:58] <Pici> JordiGH: Yes, I've made a few things in processing.
[15:58] <akincer> broken: Did that work?
[15:58] <Inuyasha32246> well, I tried a script bind, but gnomes all mighty main menu kicked itd arse
[15:58] <Inuyasha32246> sorry
[15:58] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: Then you'll need some namespace declarations.
[15:58] <ushaba> hmm
[15:58] <xeer> hi. when i startx i get the X and the tiled background, that's it though. what could cause it to not load all the way?
[15:59] <Inuyasha32246> sorry all I fail, Ill be back on later, ushaba I am actually interested in trying this now, so im me at surfjdh=AIM
[15:59] <JordiGH> xeer: Your .xsession, perhaps?
[15:59] <ushaba> surfjdh?
[15:59] <Inuyasha32246> im stepping out for a smoke
[15:59] <Inuyasha32246> thats my screen name
[16:00] <Isolder> What would cause me to not have sudo access on a fresh server install? that can't be default.. otherwise I'd be unable to do anything?
[16:00] <soundray> Isolder: is your user member of the admin group?
[16:00] <xeer> JordiGH, i don't receive an error or any kind of prompt
[16:01] <Isolder> I don't know.. I think the server install said the user would not have administrative privileges
[16:01] <Isolder> I'm confused how I could set up anything ifi'm not admin though
[16:01] <JordiGH> xeer: Do you have Gnome/KDE/Xfce installed?
[16:01] <WinterWeaver> I cannot connect to the router on my network. the Page just keeps loading, but nothing shows. Please help
[16:01] <soundray> Isolder: let's just verify that: run 'groups' and see if 'admin' is listed
[16:01] <xeer> JordiGH, yes i have Gnome installed
[16:01] <Isolder> I tried reading the documentation.. but I guess I can't find where it says anything about a server install. everything seems gui
[16:01] <Isolder> k
[16:01] <Isolder> brb
[16:02] <ganeshhegde> JordiGH:which r those?
[16:02] <azizi> meknes
[16:02] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: I'm not sure about ctype.h What does that do?
[16:02] <Isolder> no, I am not in the admin group
[16:02] <idefix_> how can you invite search bots to your site?
[16:02] <JordiGH> ganeshhegde: I recommend you move this discussion to ##c++ They'll be able to tell you more about how to make your code standard and thus compilable on a GNU system or, theoretically, on any system.
[16:03] <soundray> Isolder: to fix this, you can reboot in recovery mode (grub menu option) and run 'adduser username admin'
[16:03] <ganeshhegde> JordiGH:ya ....thank u wery much....
[16:03] <soundray> Isolder: did you only create the one user during install?
[16:03] <sacul> HOLA, hay alguien que habla español ????????????????????
[16:03] <idefix_> soundray, you can find my FT-report on my site
[16:03] <broken_> akincer: got my dvi-d working and its fine now, it doesn't have teh sync issues just nothing to see for about 10 seconds until ubuntu loads.
[16:03] <soundray> !es | sacul
[16:03] <ubotu> sacul: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[16:03] <Isolder> Yeah I only created the one user during install. that's all the option it gave me
[16:03] <xeer> JordiGH, is it that X is in a deadlock? is there a log i can view?
[16:03] <hypa7ia> i'm having some trouble with i think compiz, getting multiple keypress events being recieved when there should be only one
[16:04] <Isolder> Is that the only way to get server up and running every time? reboot and go through the recovery process?
[16:04] <JordiGH> xeer: Have you logged in from gdm already?
[16:04] <soundray> Isolder: no, once will fix it.
[16:04] <Isolder> yeah, but do you always have to do it once on a fresh install?
[16:04] <akincer> broken: that's great! did any of those settings prove fruitful?
[16:04] <soundray> Isolder: after that, you'll be able to use sudo
[16:04] <Isolder> seems odd
[16:04] <broken_> akincer: i believe so
[16:04] <broken_> thanks :)
[16:04] <xeer> JordiGH, yes i've logged in through gdm and it seems to just stall
[16:05] <soundray> Isolder: no, somehow you've created a non-default install in that respect.
[16:05] <akincer> broken: no problem. just spread the love. pay it forward
[16:05] <JordiGH> xeer: See if there are any clues in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, near the bottom.
[16:05] <broken_> heh )
[16:05] <Isolder> that's odd.. i did everything it said step by step in the installation
[16:05] <Ax-Ax> If I have a Ubuntu install and a FAT32 partition, can I install Windows 98SE on it without killing my other partitions?
[16:05] <Isolder> i think i'll rerun the install to see if it somehow skipped the admin user..
[16:05] <soundray> Isolder: odder things have been known to happen.
[16:06] <hypa7ia> Ax-Ax: the windows install would kill your mbr, but you can just re-fix that with a livecd
[16:06] <Isolder> So does it initially set up an admin pass and a non admin user?
[16:06] <Isolder> if it goes right, i mean
[16:06] <Paddy_EIRE> Ax-Ax, 1 sec.. I'll get you a guide
[16:06] <soundray> Ax-Ax: remember, we're not Windows experts here. Most of us, at least.
[16:06] <Ax-Ax> hypa7ia, Does it touch my ubuntu partitions?
[16:06] <hypa7ia> Ax-Ax: it shouldn't
[16:07] <Isolder> you should have a really good reason to install 98se.. in the first place
[16:07] <hypa7ia> Isolder: lol, true
[16:07] <soundray> Isolder: no, normally it sets up one user and adds that to the admin group automatically
[16:07] <Isolder> i see... very odd..  i am pretty sure it specificallys said the user wouldn't be admin.. oh well. i'll run the install again and see what happens
[16:07] <Isolder> thanks for your help
[16:08] <Paddy_EIRE> Ax-Ax, just adapt this guide to 98se http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp
[16:08] <Ax-Ax> Isolder, 98 is the best version of windows
[16:08] <Paddy_EIRE> 2000 imo
[16:09] <Ax-Ax> Paddy_EIRE, Does the 98 installer work the same way?
[16:09] <soundray> emacs22 always shows the welcome screen first instead of the file I open -- annoying. Is there an easy way to turn that off?
[16:09] <Isolder> 98 is the best version of windows?
[16:09] <Isolder> you haven't used windows in 10 years?
[16:09] <hypa7ia> Ax-Ax: if by "very best" you mean "completely unsupported and not security-patched in 5 years
[16:10] <Paddy_EIRE> Ax-Ax, there should really only be a few subtle differences.. otherwise come back here if you have any trouble
[16:10] <Isolder> seriously.. 98 is not even close to a good version anymore
[16:10] <Paddy_EIRE> Isolder, best version of windows is the version that you dont run
[16:10] <Paddy_EIRE> ;)
[16:10] <hypa7ia> Ax-Ax: lots of software won't even run on it anymore
[16:10] <hypa7ia> Paddy_EIRE: true!
[16:10] <Paddy_EIRE> Isolder, or 2000 pro at a push
[16:11] <souped> any advice on setting up an xp/ubuntu dual boot?
[16:11] <Ax-Ax> hypa7ia, Isolder, I only want to run some programs, that doesn't even work on XP.
[16:11] <Isolder> ax.. like what?
[16:11] <Paddy_EIRE> souped, http://apcmag.com/node/5162/
[16:11] <soundray> !dualboot > souped, please read ubotu's private message
[16:11] <Isolder> yo'ure putting the internet at risk by running 98se. and that's the truth ^_^
[16:11] <Ax-Ax> Isolder, reeeal old games
[16:11] <soundray> souped: if you already have XP, it's easy. Just let the installer resize the XP partition.
[16:12] <aricz> Ax-Ax, like? you have w9x-"emu" in winxp
[16:12] <Isolder> you'd be better off running vmware
[16:12] <Isolder> and indeed, xp can run most any 98 apps in compatibility with no trouble
[16:12] <aricz> yups
[16:12] <fifafrazer> I have a very odd issue with a network printer. The printer is an old Minolta CF910 color laser printer/copier with a Fiery X2 printer server. I can easily print to using WinXP, but I have some problems using CUPS. I've tried with Samba, IPP and LPD protocols. LPD 'almost' works. I can send documents to the printer, and in the printer's web spooler application, I notice some action in the RIP queue, but the document is never send
[16:12] <fifafrazer>  to the print queue, and nothing happens... I'm using the CUPS daemon.
[16:12] <Ax-Ax> aricz, isolder: I WANT 98 anyway :(
[16:12] <aricz> tsss.. you stubborn you.. ;) good luck
[16:13] <Isolder> well
[16:14] <dmi3on> hi, i have shared folder in windows vista and i can't makelink of this folder
[16:14] <Isolder> don't user the net on that 98 install then.. it's a bad idea and a security risk that affects others than just you
[16:14] <aricz> affects others?
[16:14] <souped> so comments on ubuntu vs kubuntu vs xubuntu for dual boot for web development?
[16:15] <dmi3on> if i try to move to desktop its just copy folder
[16:15] <Isolder> yes, affects others
[16:15] <soundray> souped: install ubuntu, then add the kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop packages. Then you can compare them all side-by-side
[16:15] <hypa7ia> Ax-Ax: if they are that old, have you looked at dosbox? i've found really old games often run better on that
[16:15] <aricz> do I really have to add a "how?"
[16:15] <Ax-Ax> Isolder: If i get viruses, only Windows users get them from me
[16:15] <aricz> :]
[16:15] <Isolder> a 98 machine could easily be compromised and used to perform malicious actions against other networks
[16:16] <soundray> Ax-Ax: what about spam?
[16:16] <Isolder> those networks could also be running linux boxes
[16:16] <Isolder> so it won't just affect windows users
[16:16] <fifafrazer> souped, ubuntu vs kubuntu vs xubuntu depends on what desktop environment you prefer
[16:16] <soundray> Isolder: is Windows MR any better in that respect?
[16:16] <Ax-Ax> soundray, what about not using mail?
[16:16] <Isolder> Me, you mean?
[16:16] <souped> fifafrazer: i guess kde for development
[16:16] <soundray> Ax-Ax: doesn't help, if your machine is subsumed into a botnet
[16:17] <fifafrazer> souped, Then it must be kubuntu :)
[16:17] <souped> fifafrazer: and gnome for home
[16:17] <fifafrazer> I prefer xfce4 for both
[16:17] <soundray> Isolder: indeed, I mean ME ;)
[16:17] <PHuber> hey there -  i just upgraded to gutsy and have a question to compiz: ( i dont know how the effect is called .. when u move the cursor to the right upper corner and all opend windows are "fly" next to each other an u can pick one to work with )  ... how is this called and how can i deactivate this or change the corner .. its VERY annoying because its very close to the close buttons..
[16:17] <Isolder> you put a 98 machine on an open network, and chances are it will be ruined by the end of the day.. unless you're very lucky
[16:17] <nibsa1242> Hi, I have a problem on my laptop. If I don't use it for a while, (and I have suspend & hibernate turned off) my keyboard stops responding. This seems to happen more often (or only) if I close the screen and its idle long enough for the screensaver to come on, but it still happens if I turn screensaver off. My mouse/touchpad still works when this occurs. Any help?
[16:17] <Isolder> and yeah i'd say ME is just as bad
[16:18] <souped> fifafrazer: what about xubuntu, would it take up less space on a dual boot situation?
[16:18] <Paddy_EIRE> PHuber, err.. move the close button
[16:18] <Paddy_EIRE> PHuber, the effect is called 'Scale' by the way
[16:18] <Ax-Ax> Isolder: I'm on a little LAN with some safety
[16:18] <soundray> Isolder: okay, I'll keep it in mind (got an old ME laptop that I sometimes use for serial devices)
[16:19] <Isolder> soundray: installing the server again and i dont think it's going to give me admin privileges, this isn uts
[16:19] <zechs> Hi all--is there something like 'gnome-dock' that is both available and working?
[16:19] <soundray> Isolder: what's your install source? Ubuntu Server CD?
[16:19] <PHuber> Paddy_EIRE .. hmm, dont what about " move the close corner"... but thx, ich will serch for this effect
[16:19] <Paddy_EIRE> zechs, gnome-dock is both available and working
[16:19] <Ax-Ax> Isolder: there is viruses for Linux too
[16:19] <fifafrazer> souped, I think it would use less space, but I'm not sure... You could pick the alternative disk and do a minimum install. That would use less space :)
[16:19] <Isolder> yeah.. i downloaded the 7.10  server image yesterday
[16:19] <nibsa1242> soundray: you can get a usb-> to serial adapter if you want to use those devices with XP... and possibly Linux
[16:19] <soundray> Ax-Ax: yeah, in laboratories
[16:19] <souped> ok kubuntu it is
[16:20] <fifafrazer> I prefer xfce over gnome, because it has almost the same functionality, but is faster. I dont like the KDE look and feel, but I dont know for what reason :P
[16:20] <nibsa1242> I need help with fixing an issue where my keyboard doesn't respond to any key presses if I leave my laptop idle for >2hrs or so.
[16:20] <soundray> nibsa1242: I know -- but a Thinkpad 240 is a really nice machine. The Asus Eee may be the first real competitor ;)
[16:20] <Paddy_EIRE> PHuber, err lol.. I did not say to move the corner... move the button.. you do know you can put it anywhere
[16:21] <souped> fifafrazer: kde has the kio that seems to integrate with the file manager...
[16:21] <soundray> Isolder: I'll quickly check launchpad for reports...
[16:21] <dmi3on> when i try to make "link here' the shared folder which is in windows, its says "error unsupported operation"
[16:21] <dmi3on> can any one help plz
[16:21] <narothepharoh> how do i open a 7zr package?
[16:21] <Paddy_EIRE> PHuber, also you can use System> Preferences > appearance to access the compiz-fusion control center... from there you can change which corner scale works on
[16:22] <nibsa1242> soundray: don't know about that particular model, but every Thinkpad I've ever used has been a nice solid machine... haven't used one in a few years though
[16:22] <souped> fifafrazer: so i can open up an ftp site from kdevelop
[16:22] <Tomcat_> dmi3on: Windows partitions don't support links.
[16:22] <jimjam> What do I use to run an M3U playlist?
[16:22] <Isolder> ax-ax: a little lan or no little lan it's irresponsible to so blatantly disregard better security practices
[16:22] <Tomcat_> jimjam: Most music players can read it... rhythmbox, amarok, xmms, bmp
[16:22] <aricz> Ax-Ax , install w98se and surf pr0n for 1 hour.. you'll understand.. \:D/
[16:22] <jimjam> Tomcat_ Good to know. Thanks
[16:22] <souped> so looking at the iso... what is alternate vs desktop
[16:23] <Tomcat_> souped: Alternate is a text-only installer-only disc
[16:23] <dmi3on> Tomcat_: i have to make in linux folder and shere it with other com. ?
[16:23] <PHuber> Paddy_EIRE thx, it worked. just changed the corner -> now it should be fine
[16:23] <Tomcat_> souped: desktop is a LiveCD with GUI installer.
[16:23] <narothepharoh> how do i open a 7-zip archive?
[16:23] <PHuber> bye+
[16:23] <Tomcat_> dmi3on: No idea what you want to do, sorry.
[16:23] <soundray> Isolder: it's been reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/158952  -- could you please add a comment confirming it?
[16:23] <souped> thanks
[16:23] <jimjam> Tomcat_ Do you know if there's any way to import iTunes playlists?
[16:24] <Tomcat_> jimjam: No idea.
[16:24] <Isolder> sure, i'll get an account made and do that soundray
[16:24] <Isolder> thanks for looking for me
[16:24] <jimjam> Tomcat_ Darn. Thanks anyways.
[16:24] <Tomcat_> jimjam: But from experience I'd say both rhythmbox as well as amarok support it.
[16:24] <dmi3on> Tomcat_: i what share files betwwen win and ubuntu, and have this folder on ubuntu desktop
[16:24] <soundray> Isolder: great, thank you
[16:24] <Tomcat_> dmi3on: Go on.
[16:25] <Tomcat_> dmi3on: Need to go though... but I guess somebody else can help you if you tell more.
[16:25] <soundray> Isolder: did you test the workaround I suggested?
[16:25] <soundray> Isolder: the report mentions fixing /etc/sudoers, which shouldn't be necessary IMO
[16:25] <jatt> updating dapper fails with

[16:26] <Isolder> i haven't tested the workaround yet, install is still finishing up
[16:26] <Isolder> i'm sur eit will work though
[16:26] <dmi3on> Tomcat_: if i can make link  windows shared folder on desktop, then i can make on desktop folder in ubuntu and share it with windows  ?
[16:26] <Isolder> and yeah.. it's a ridiculous step

[16:31] <nibsa1242> My keyboard seems to stop responding after a variable amount of time of leaving Ubuntu idle. Anyone have any ideas how to fix? Only thing that seems to work is to use mouse to restart.

[16:32] <Isolder> i once was running a copy of webdna that was supposed to store sent mails.. and i mistakingly removed the permissions from the folder for that that would keep the sent mail
[16:32] <Isolder> it started resending the mail every second to try and get the emails through.. resulted in many spammed users

[16:33] <dmi3on> can any one help me how can i share folder between ubuntu and windows and have this folder on desktop in ubuntu
[16:33] <dmi3on> plz
[16:33] <rishabh> soundray: it's "unsupported"
[16:33] <soundray> rishabh: that's bad news I'm afraid
[16:34] <TomFar_> hey you are all doooooods???
[16:34] <rishabh> soundray: There's no other place where you can get drivers?
[16:34] <mrmonday> Is there likely to be an update in pidgin to fix the security vulnerability in the repos?
[16:34] <soundray> dmi3on: in Windows, install ext2fsd -- then you can mount and use your entire Ubuntu partition
[16:35] <dmi3on> ok
[16:35] <soundray> rishabh: not that I know of. People who write free scanner drivers tend to contribute their code to the SANE project

[16:35] <nibsa1242> dmi3on: soundray: and then when window's crashes you'll have to fsck your entire ubuntu partition

[16:36] <soundray> nibsa1242: yes -- dmi3on, best to mount the Ubuntu partition when needed, and unmount it afterwards.
[16:36] <stefg> arthur_kalm: if it worked in feisty you might consider going back to it.... gutsy has some bad regressions
[16:37] <nibsa1242> Any one have any idea what log file to look in (and what to search for) to try to figure out why my keyboard stops responding after my laptop sits idle for about two hours or so.

[16:42] <desertc> aoupi_: It's probably muted.
[16:42] <arthur_kalm> megasquid, oh it has supporting files? hrm. Well in that case do as soundray said. I usually make a new directory in /usr/local and shove everything in there
[16:42] <soundray> rishabh: I take it you've installed the build-essential package?
[16:43] <rishabh> soundray: certainly
[16:43] <jimjam> Ack! I think aMule is being firewalled. How can I get downloads working?
[16:43] <desertc> aoupi_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[16:43] <megasquid> arthur_kalm, ok thanks
[16:43] <arthur_kalm> megasquid, you can then make a link to the programs executable in /usr/local/bin so it'll be in your PATH, or just add it to your PATH
[16:43] <arthur_kalm> megasquid, no problem
[16:43] <harveyd> samson, sorry to be annoying, but can that command be easily changed to not cd
[16:43] <desertc> jimjam: don't use emule?
[16:43] <soundray> rishabh: I don't know then, but the developers might be interested in your feedback
[16:43] <jimjam> desertc: It happens with bt too.
[16:43] <arthur_kalm> megasquid, but really, it's up to you. As long as you put it in your PATH, it makes no difference
[16:43] <soundray> rishabh: they usually put an email address in the README file

[16:44] <deejoe> wft?
[16:44] <aoupi_> desertc: no, I've checked that, it's more screwed up than that :)
[16:44] <deejoe> also, wtf? ;-)
[16:44] <soundray> rishabh: this doesn't tell me anything, and you shouldn't paste here anyway
[16:44] <gambakufu> hi
[16:45] <bloony> anyone know about a torrent program where you can set a time where it should start download.. or where you can set it to change to a different max speed at a certain time? I got a cap'ed connection and got offpeak period at night, but I normaly go tobed befor that starts
[16:45] <gambakufu> where can the name of the wireless device in my computer? (company/product/version) and so on...
[16:45] <SmarK> hi there :)
[16:45] <brobostigon> lspci/lsusb
[16:45] <rishabh> soundray: There's some new feature in the "bullet proof X" that allows you to install graphics drivers on Ubuntu using the Windows driver CD. Apparently it extracts meaningful data from the .INF file. Shouldn't that be possible for a scanner, too?
[16:45] <desertc> aoupi_: What's aplay -l  tell you?
[16:45] <soundray> deejoe: have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/163042  (and please don't use that abbreviation in here :)
[16:46] <aoupi_> desertc: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44751/
[16:46] <brobostigon> gambakufu: lspci/lsusb
[16:46] <desertc> aoupi_: I bet it's muted.
[16:46] <deejoe> soundray: thanks
[16:47] <aoupi_> desertc: it's not muted
[16:47] <desertc> aoupi_: That's what everyone says.
[16:47] <gambakufu> hmm
[16:47] <desertc> aoupi_: Just before they say it's muted.
[16:47] <stefg> bloony: imho azureus can do that, or has a plugin for that. another option would be a combination of a cli torrent program like rttorrent with cron
[16:47] <gambakufu> I can't see anything that qualifies as wireless...
[16:47] <soundray> rishabh: in principle, why not? It's just that Windows graphics drivers interface with TWAIN, which I believe is proprietary. So it might be an uphill battle developing a wrapper.
[16:47] <brobostigon> ganbakufu: ifconfig/ iwconfig
[16:48] <Isolder> soundray: i'm now trying to recover and i think i may have been wrong
[16:48] <desertc> aoupi_: Your device is fine, and ALSA sees it, so the problem is between the Linux device and, well, you.
[16:48] <Isolder> soundray: i'm reading the group file and it shows adm: redone
[16:48] <Isolder> i had initially been looking for the admin group
[16:48] <Isolder> but adm is actaully admin isn't it?
[16:48] <brobostigon> gambakufu: try dmesg
[16:48] <soundray> Isolder: no, adm != admin
[16:48] <Isolder> I didn't think so but this help page is showing it is.. anyhow.. ok
[16:49] <Isolder> in the group file there is *no* admin group at al
[16:49] <damip> hello,
[16:49] <damip> I have an USB <-> serial adapter and I'm not able to read data from it.
[16:49] <damip> My program is running as root and uses open("/dev/ttyUSB0") as read/write and then read(), asynchronously
[16:49] <damip> open() works, parameter settings too
[16:49] <damip> but read returns -1 with errno to EAGAIN.
[16:49] <damip> can you give a piece of advice please ?
[16:49] <gambakufu> brobostigon: that shows me the wireless connection, but no info on the device
[16:49] <deejoe> oh, haha.
[16:49] <deejoe> I did an aptitude forget-new to see if I could get the bad samba stuff out of my package list
[16:49] <aoupi_> desertc: it's not muted thou http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44754/
[16:49] <soundray> rishabh: also, it's always worth ringing up the manufacturer's support hotline and asking for a Linux driver. They probably won't give you one, but it's a good thing if they know that there is demand.
[16:50] <desertc> aoupi_: Turn everything up like my link said
[16:50] <desertc> aoupi_: Follow my instructions and let me know how it goes
[16:50] <aoupi_> desertc: I tried that, but I don't wanna go deaf once it starts working :)
[16:50] <brobostigon> gambakufu, have you tried hardware info in system/prefs
[16:50] <deejoe> I guess it's easier to 403 those than to remove them from the list. and by easier, I guess I mean faster.
[16:50] <desertc> aoupi_: The ringing in your ears is a reminder I was right.
[16:50] <bloony> stefg: hmm.. ok
[16:50] <desertc> aoupi_: :-D
[16:51] <aoupi_> desertc: hehe :)
[16:51] <akincer> aoupi: are these external speakers?
[16:51] <stefg> bloony: but don't use the azureus package from the repos, that's broken
[16:51] <bloony> stefg: but I have a problem with azureus.. it just crash 2 seconds after I start it
[16:51] <bloony> aah
[16:51] <stefg> bloony: but don't use the azureus package from the repos, that's broken
[16:51] <bloony> hehe yeah
[16:51] <Isolder> it would seem that the admin group itself isn't even being created
[16:51] <bloony> stefg: where do I find another version?
[16:51] <rishabh> soundray: Actually, a lot of companies, like HP, have drivers for their "MFD's" . My UMAX is pretty old and not so popular, so that's probably why no one has bothered to develop it much
[16:52] <stefg> bloony: http://azureus.sf.net
[16:52] <bloony> k
[16:52] <gambakufu> brobostigon: yes. couldn't see it there either.
[16:52] <gambakufu> http://rafb.net/p/ld0D5F39.html  perhaps I'm missing something?
[16:52] <soundray> rishabh: other UMAX scanners are supported, though. I guess they use different chipsets in different products ("OEM")
[16:53] <brobostigon> i dont know then gambakufu, iam sorry.
[16:53] <Andycasss> Why cant i use my wireless?? Ive set the options under networking administration, but when i iwconfig it says no essid and AP invalid
[16:53] <soundray> rishabh: HP is quite a good citizen, overall

[16:53] <ubotu> Andycasss: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[16:54] <akincer> aoupi: Might I suggest booting with a liveCD to see if sound works in a stock environment?
[16:54] <rishabh> soundray: I should think it would be easier to just build on a standardised chipset, wouldn't it?
[16:54] <aoupi_> akincer: I'l give it a try
[16:54] <aoupi_> akincer: using headphones btw
[16:54] <rishabh> soundray: Anyway, thanks a lot for your help! I've got to leave now.
[16:54] <soundray> rishabh: I don't know, I'm not an OEM ;)
[16:55] <akincer> aoupi: Also make sure your speakers (assuming it is speakers) are actually plugged in. I beat my head against a wall troubleshooting sound for a week once only to discover that somehow, they had become unplugged
[16:55] <desertc> aoupi_: Did you turn everything up yet??
[16:55] <akincer> headphones
[16:55] <soundray> rishabh: okay, see you
[16:55] <rishabh> soundray: bye!
[16:55] <akincer> ahh
[16:55] <desertc> We need FULL POWER.
[16:55] <aoupi_> desertc: yea, up to 100%, didn't work, set everything back to 50%
[16:55] <akincer> aoupi: try the liveCD to make sure you don't have a hardware failure
[16:56] <Andycasss> how to change systems language?
[16:56] <Jimme1> I have tried enabling the mic in my SB Audigy SE, but I have absolutely no idea what to do. The options I see in the volume control include Digital Source, and Shared Mic/Line in. When recording sound I can record from inputs AUX, Phone, Microphone and Line in. I don't know what any of these is. I just want to go on Teamspeak :-P Can anyone help me?
[16:56] <desertc> 50% is okay, but you had most of your channels set to 3%, which was NOT helping.
[16:56] <aoupi_> akincer: ok, booting into livecd now, bbiaw
[16:56] <jsschmid1> hi folks
[16:56] <desertc> Jimmel: It's probably muted.
[16:56] <jsschmid1> is the current kernel version 2.6.20-16-generic
[16:56] <jsschmid1> ?
[16:56] <desertc> Jimmel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[16:56] <stefg> aoupi_: intel HD audio ?
[16:56] <Jimme1> desertc, I've unmuted everything that looks soundcapture related.
[16:57] <desertc> Jimmel: Everything means everything
[16:57] <soundray> jsschmid1: for feisty, yes
[16:57] <desertc> Jimmel: You just said you don't know what to do, so why are you choosing which channels are appropriate?
[16:57] <dmi3on> how to share folder betwwen windows and ubuntu
[16:57] <Jimme1> desertc, I can get sound from the card
[16:57] <akincer> How handy would it be to have a command that simply unmutes everything audio related?
[16:58] <stefg> !samba > dmi3on
[16:58] <Jimme1> desertc, if all of them are unmuted, then it would probably work, was my philosophy at the time
[16:58] <akincer> assuming one doesn't exist
[16:58] <soundray> dmi3on: what was wrong with my suggestion earlier?
[16:58] <desertc> Jimmel: Let's see if it works first.
[16:59] <dmi3on> soundray: nothink i will try
[16:59] <dmi3on> soundray: thnks

[17:04] <Andycasss> I still cant make my wireless work
[17:04] <jsschmid1> ubotu: when I do that it says: Package linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[17:04] <jsschmid1> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[17:04] <jsschmid1> is only available from another source
[17:04] <akincer> kidbuntu: That's an extremely vague question. How doesn't it work properly?
[17:05] <simpaan> why will me steam not work with ubuntu?
[17:05] <Andycasss> Ive set the options in network-admin but iwconfig tells me that there are no options set??!

[17:05] <aoupi_> akincer: just got back from the livecd, sound didn't work there either
[17:05] <kidbuntu> akincer: i don't know myself. its not my laptop.. its my friends. he said something about after installing it. the gutsy doesnt boot anymore
[17:05] <desertc> aoupi_: Are the speakers plugged in?
[17:05] <aoupi_> akincer: tried 2 pair of headphones but nothing
[17:05] <stefg> jsschmid1: try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic , that should pull the right headers as dependency.
[17:05] <aoupi_> desertc: yea
[17:05] <akincer> aoupi: There's a chance you have a hardware problem especially if sound used to work
[17:05] <aoupi_> akincer: bummer
[17:06] <akincer> aoupi: As long as there are no physical switches that would mute the sound

[17:06] <santh_> plz tell the terminal command for installing gstreamer plugings and unrar files
[17:06] <stefg> jsschmid1: it might be that your sources.list is screwed. get afresh one at !easysource then , and sudo apt.get update afterwards
[17:06] <desertc> aoupi_: I don't know how people can instantly respond that their speakers are all plugged in, without failing to check.
