[19:10] <hbatiste> sorry, didnt know he logged off -_-
[19:10] <genii> nandu: Your prob with NTFS mounting, whatever else is causing, is not by a grub misadventure
[19:11] <hbatiste> ^
[19:11] <nandu> genii: sda1 is 7 and sda2 is f, should I exit fdisk ?
[19:11] <yazd> I've been struggling with iptables for days now, is anyone here a guru?
[19:11] <Pici> hbatiste: This is a support channel, if you just want to chat with him use a private message.
[19:11] <genii> nandu: Yes, use Q
[19:11] <Q|> genii: What?
[19:12] <Q|> genii: Ah, forget it :D
[19:12] <nandu> genii: then

[19:12] <Like> yes is vasser
[19:13] <genii> nandu: Right now I don't have time or resources to pursue what your actual prob is for the mounting, but at least i can say it's not due to grub

[19:13] <Like> what model vasser
[19:13] <vasser> like: gigabyte, i will tell you which exact model in a moment
[19:13] <NET||abuse> hey guys, i'm generating rsa key for ssl cert, godaddy is suggesting using des3 encryiption for the key generations, but i'm concerned that's not good, am I better off using aes types?
[19:14] <vasser> like: this one: GT-PTV-AF-RH
[19:14] <yazd> anyone here good with iptables?
[19:14] <nandu> genii: thanks

[19:14] <Pici> yazd: #iptables exists for the real gurus
[19:14] <yazd> gracias
[19:14] <vasser> but no matter which sound input i choose, i get nothing
[19:14] <Like> gigabyte
[19:14] <vasser> sound is not muted (checked under alsamixer)
[19:15] <nandu> genii: but it does'nt mount nor boot windows from it, should I delete it ?
[19:15] <vasser> like: yes, gigabyte
[19:15] <xmnt> VickiWong, the device will be located in /dev/ as sdX or hdX (replace x with the name of the drive)

[19:17] <rob3d> hi all....how can i change the vlcPlayer as the default mp3 player....i am absolute new in ubuntu 9.04  thx in advanced
[19:17] <dodyb> I need some help getting a dialog box up on ubuntu when login
[19:17] <seidos> !kvm
[19:18] <pradeep_> how to connect to  a windows machine using telnet from a linux machine
[19:18] <nandu> genii: ok
[19:18] <pradeep_> how to connect to  a windows machine using telnet from a linux machine
[19:18] <VickiWong> xmnt, fdisk /dev/sda says it cannot open
[19:19] <seidos> rob3d, have you tried right clicking an mp3 file to see if you can change the default player through a right click menu?
[19:19] <rai> vasser.. nothing in the option the connection manager
[19:19] <johnnydeep> when starting my system ubuntu only starts as a terminal and not as a gnome desktop anymore! With startx I can start the desktop interface, but it looks a bit different (log off/shutdown/restart options on the right are missing)
[19:19] <vasser> one sec
[19:19] <rob3d> seidos  no
[19:19] <johnnydeep> how can I change it back so that it only starts the desktop when booting?
[19:19] <rob3d> seidos  i try  one second
[19:20] <vasser> rai: did you try to logout and then in again ?
[19:20] <rai> yup...nothing happen..
[19:20] <dani> howdy!!
[19:20] <VickiWong> xmnt, ignore me forgot sudo, imm now at the fdisk command prompt
[19:21] <vasser> rai: try running "gnome-nettool"
[19:21] <rai> ok...
[19:21] <Q|> johnnydeep, try to shut down your manually started X-Session, go back to terminal and try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" and look what's it telling you
[19:21] <rai> tanx
[19:21] <rob3d> seidos....aehh  it opens my mp3 with alsaplayer...ok i can say open with....but i just want the vlcplayer to open mp3s etc
[19:21] <pradeep_> how to connect to  a windows machine using telnet from a linux machine
[19:22] <Guest73789> hey i need some help, i gotta return this netbook and i need to remove ubuntu off the system cuz they won't accept it.
[19:22] <seidos> rob3d, in system -> preferences there is a program called "preferred applications"
[19:22] <vasser> pradeep_: the windows machine needs to be running a telnet server
[19:22] <Guest73789> how do i procede?
[19:22] <rob3d> seidos  ok
[19:22] <VickiWong> Guest25685, format and install whatever OS they do accept
[19:22] <vasser> Like: any idea ?
[19:22] <Like> i dont know the manufacturer vasser
[19:22] <VickiWong> Guest25685, the other OS should have an installation CD/DVD which will take care of it
[19:23] <pradeep_> vasser: its installed by default na
[19:23] <VickiWong> Guest25685, unless you need to keep any data/documents?
[19:23] <fccf> Guest73789: reinstall windows... boot with UNR flash stick in live mode & reformat the drive to NTFS then reinstall windows .. you will need the winxp disk and a cdrom to install
[19:23] <vasser> like: i see, is it possible that when loading the module if i choose other "card=x" and/or "tuner=y" i will get sound ?
[19:23] <rob3d> seidos   yeahh i tryed it but no chance to choose vlcplayer....only 3 player i never heard of  lol
[19:23] <eni> how to install new kernel with apt-get ?
[19:23] <johnnydeep> Q|: it doesnt do anything
[19:23] <pradeep_> vasser: the windows comp which i am telnettin is connected to internet
[19:24] <johnnydeep> i enter my root password and then there comes another empty command line
[19:24] <Like> yes but need the correct values vasser
[19:24] <vasser> pradeep_: it is not enough, you need to have a telnet server installed on the windows machine
[19:24] <fccf> eni: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will install the latest ... then reboot
[19:24] <vasser> like: ok, and given the correct values, it will "just work" ?
[19:24] <Q|> johnnydeep, umh, k. Then try the same command and replace the start keyword with status and look if there's any output
[19:24] <Like> yes vasser
[19:25] <vasser> like: as in, when i run tvtime it will have sound
[19:25] <vasser> like: okey, that is also some sort of help :) thanks
[19:25] <pradeep_> vasser: assuming its installed wats the procedure
[19:25] <johnnydeep> nothing either
[19:25] <vasser> pradeep_: if you are on the same network, it is as simple as running "telnet" on the linux machine, and entering the address of the windows one
[19:26] <vasser> pradeep_: if you are trying to connect from outside the network (through the internet) you need to have port 23 (i think) forwarded
[19:26] <Q|> johnnydeep, And all you've changed is your accidental deletion of the /etc/apache2 directory?
[19:26] <pradeep_> vasser : yeah both the comps are on the same network
[19:26] <tjgillespie_> hi all, i'm trying to get nss to get entries from ldap. When i `getent passwd` there is a delay, as if it's querying ldap, but no entries are returned. anyone know how to debug this?
[19:27] <vasser> pradeep_: try "telnet <ip.to.comp>"
[19:27] <yazd> I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and running a postgresql server.  The network to which I'm connected blocks port 5432 (postgres) so I'd like to redirect incoming traffic from port 80 to 5432 on my server box.  I've thought I was close with the iptables rules, but they do not work...help please
[19:27] <pradeep_> k
[19:27] <MarderIII> pradeep_: are you trying to learn how to hack machines?
[19:27] <vasser> :)
 hey i need some help, i gotta return this netbook and i need to remove ubuntu off the system cuz they won't accept it.
[19:27] <Guest3261> ?
[19:27] <Pici> yazd: Ubuntu 9.10 has not been released yet, so support for it is in #ubuntu+1
[19:27] <johnnydeep> Q|: well i had apache2 installed erlier in the session... with sudo apt-get install apache2 ... later removed it again with apt-get remove... and then downloaded the lampp from apachefriends.org and installed it...
[19:27] <outlier> #linux
[19:28] <dodyb> help with alter box
[19:28] <pradeep_> MarderIII: not exactly learning network administration
[19:28] <jumbers> Does the g++ package not contain iomanip.h? I can't compile my program
[19:28] <johnnydeep> but i dont think that the lampp has changed anything, because installing it only means extracting the archive
[19:28] <spotter> any emacs wizards here?
[19:28] <MarderIII> pradeep_: it's almost the same :-)
[19:28] <spotter> emacs w/ tex files is having issues with "(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)" in my .emacs file
[19:28] <yazd> I mean 9.04
[19:28] <Q|> johnnydeep, Yeah, it makes not sense that lampp or apache could have something to do with an X issue
[19:29] <pradeep_> MarderIII: ;-)
[19:29] <gandhi> that 9.10 daily build disk i tried out was pretty poor
[19:29] <Pici> !9.10 | gandhi
[19:29] <Pici> spotter: #emacs would be the best place to ask about that
[19:29] <johnnydeep> Q|: I didnt change anything in the system... at least i dont think i have...
[19:29] <fccf> !lamp | johnnydeep this is the right way to install a lamp server
[19:29] <VickiWong> xmnt, ignore me forgot sudo, imm now at the fdisk command prompt
[19:29] <Q|> johnnydeep, Have you tried to cycle the virtual terminals just to be sure there is no gdm session running already?
[19:30] <ennoddo> Hi all.... having a little trouble with the window manager in netbook remix... The close "X" is missing for applications.  The problem can be temporarily fixed by adjusting the visual effects to normal then back to none, but it resets on reboot.  Any suggestions?
[19:30] <MarderIII> ennoddo: same problem here.
[19:30] <queso_> What key combination can I use to raise/lower volume in Gnome? (My keyboard doesn't have dedicated keys.)
[19:31] <johnnydeep> fccf: this is what i did first... i installed everything with the sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[19:31] <wiherna> hey
[19:31] <johnnydeep> but it didnt work  then so i uninstalled all the packages below again
[19:31] <Tenoch> Hi! I don't get the "install command line system" in jaunty alternate CD... i am doing something wrong?
[19:31] <lees_aia> Hi, I did and update last Friday and SAMBA stopped working. I've tried restarting but it will not....HELP
[19:31] <ennoddo> Marderlll: have you come up with any solutions?
[19:31] <PolitikerNEU> Hello, does anybody know if it is possible to disable vlc's buffer?
[19:31] <johnnydeep> and tried with apache2 and php5 manually
[19:31] <Pici> Tenoch: What do you mean by 'you don't get it'?
[19:31] <MarderIII> ennoddo: no. still looking
[19:31] <fccf> !work | johnnydeep
[19:32] <MarderIII> ennoddo: annoying :-(
[19:32] <seidos> he could have done a custom command
[19:32] <zne> I can't view the uuid of sda2 which is W95 Ext'd (LBA) type of file system, please help ?
[19:32] <ennoddo> Manderlll: quite... about ready to bail and try Jollicloud
[19:32] <johnnydeep> :D sorry... well it didnt start on http://localhost... so i uninstalled the packages
[19:32] <Tenoch> Pici: it doens't show up (and OEM neither)
[19:32] <yazd> how to enable the root account?
[19:33] <fccf> !root | yazd
[19:33] <kaje> Anyone know of a suggestion for a tool that will let me draw and put text on top of an mp4 video?
[19:33] <MeXTuX> I'm installing an Ubuntu Server and have 4 GB of RAM. How much swap space do I need??
[19:33] <Tenoch> Pici: i only have the 5 other options (install, check disc, test mem, boot from hd, rescue)
[19:33] <zne> I can't view the uuid of sda2 which is W95 Ext'd (LBA) type of file system, please help ?
[19:33] <yazd> I know the workings of sudo, but I need to be able to forward ports 80 via ssh
[19:33] <zne> Using sudo blkid, I can't view the uuid of sda2 which is W95 Ext'd (LBA) type of file system, please help ?
[19:33] <fccf> MeXTuX: 8gb is reccommended or double your ram
[19:33] <Pici> !repeat | zne
[19:34] <ennoddo> MarderIII: Do you remember what you did before it started?
[19:34] <Pici> fccf: double your ram is overkill and not needed nowadays.
[19:34] <Guest3261> hey i need some help, i gotta return this netbook and i need to remove ubuntu off the system cuz they won't accept it.
[19:34] <Guest3261> how do i proceed
[19:34] <Pici> Tenoch: Are you sure that you downloaded the alternate CD?
[19:34] <Turbolinux> MarderIII and Q| your recommendations didn't work unfourtanetely. :( I heard an ALSA configuration is needed for HP Pavilion notebook computers. Is anyone who can run sound on HP Pavilion computer here?
[19:34] <MarderIII> ennoddo: an update.. :-( :-(
[19:34] <ennoddo> MarderIII: me too
[19:34] <zne> Using sudo blkid, I can't view the uuid of sda2 which is W95 Ext'd (LBA) type of file system, please help ?
[19:34] <seidos> Guest3261, restoration cds that came with your netbook
[19:34] <seidos> correction, the netbook
[19:34] <VickiWong> Guest3261, you have been told a couple of times already, run the CD's of the OS that you want to use
[19:35] <Tenoch> Pici: well pretty much... there's no option to run the live CD anyway
[19:35] <ennoddo> MarderIII: I guess we can hope a future update fixes it
[19:35] <zne> Using sudo blkid, I can't view the uuid of sda2 which is W95 Ext'd (LBA) type of file system, please help ?
[19:35] <fccf> Pici: true, unless you are wanting to hibernate
[19:35] <Q|> Turbolinux, umh, sorry. Besides the guess the sound could be muted I have no other idea on this issue, sorry.
[19:36] <Guest3261> it's a netbook, there are no cds that came along. and there isn't a cd rom
[19:36] <Guest3261> how am i suppose to do that
[19:36] <Pici> fccf: And then you only need more than your RAM, not double
[19:36] <VickiWong> Guest3261, live usb?
[19:36] <MarderIII> ennoddo: One lives in hope ;-)
[19:36] <zne> Using sudo blkid, I can't view the uuid of sda2 which is W95 Ext'd (LBA) type of file system, please help ?
[19:36] <VickiWong> Guest3261, external disc drive?
[19:36] <seidos> Guest3261, how do you know they won't take your netbook back?
[19:36] <Turbolinux> Is anyone use a HP Pavilion notebook computer and use the sound?
[19:36] <Guest3261> so i must put a boot xp into a usb?
[19:37] <Guest3261> because i just went there and they told me so, i gotta get it out
[19:37] <Pici> Tenoch: I was under the impression that you could only install the cli system from either the minimal or server CDs
[19:37] <VickiWong> Guest3261, if thats the OS you wish to use, make a bootable XP USB stick
[19:38] <VickiWong> Guest3261, or use an external CD drive
[19:38] <fccf> Pici: if there is already 2-3 gigs cached to swap, which in some sitiuations is possible, and you write the ram to swap, you'll need more than that
[19:38] <PC-Ente> abend
[19:38] <VickiWong> Guest3261, if you installed ubuntu onto the machine then you must know this
[19:38] <Guest3261> is it the bootable xp usb i need or the recovery xp
[19:38] <Pici> fccf: I suppose... but 8gb of swap on a server is overkill, no server should have to hibernate.
[19:38] <fccf> Pici: good point
[19:39] <MarderIII> PC-Ente: Gute morgen... :-)
[19:39] <Pici> Guest3261: We cannot support Windows here, please use ##windows
[19:39] <Guest3261> bwaaaaaaa
[19:39] <PolitikerNEU> !de | PC-Ente
[19:39] <PC-Ente> ;-) Morgen MarderIII but stick to englisch, ;-)
[19:39] <PolitikerNEU> sorry
[19:39] <VickiWong> Guest3261, youll need the installation CD if you wish to install XP... also note this is #ubuntu not #windows
[19:39] <PC-Ente> i new this would come... :-/
[19:39] <Tenoch> Pici: maybe it was with previous releases. it's always hard to be sure that documentation is not outdated... so if i take a server CD, i can have a minimal CLI, and from there install the rest?
[19:40] <Guest3261> allrighty. thanks though. appreeshiyated
[19:40] <MarderIII> PC-Ente: forseeable :-D
[19:40] <adac> What packege do I have to install to get tun/tap working?
[19:40] <fccf> adac: tun/tap? details please
[19:40] <{g}> Hey People! Do you use the human theme (the default i think) or human clearlooks? where is the difference? the only difference i found is that in the taskbar, the current task is a bit lighter.
[19:41]  * duffydack uses Dust
[19:41] <adac> fccf, if I try sudo ifconfig tap0 ip_adress up
[19:41] <Tenoch> Pici: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems says that alternate should have what i need, and that server is not the same
[19:41] <{g}> duffydack: why?
[19:41] <adac> fccf, I get No such device
[19:41] <Pici> Tenoch: If you intend to put xorg on the computer use the minimal CD, otherwise the server iso.  The server install uses a different kernel that does not have support for most proprietary video cards.
[19:42] <VickiWong> {g}, I use dust
[19:42] <duffydack> {g}, same reason I go for redheads more than blondes.
[19:42] <PolitikerNEU> I like dust too - except firefox support isn't really good
[19:42] <fccf> adac: you are obviously wanting to tunnel ... that device has to be mapped
[19:42] <duffydack> PolitikerNEU, how so?
[19:42] <gandhi> gnome colors are my favorite themes
[19:43] <gandhi> the shiki colors themes look pretty nice
[19:43] <Pici> Tenoch: Thats because the LiveCD loads the desktop into the system's ram, which wouldnt be possible on computers with specifications that low.  They're describing the install process are command line, it still installs the GUI version of Ubuntu in the end.
[19:43] <PolitikerNEU> duffydack: Last time I tested the firefox menu text was black while it was white in all other applications
[19:43] <duffydack> gandhi, tried em, dont like em
[19:43] <gandhi> me, to each their own
[19:43] <gandhi> i like em
[19:43] <duffydack> PolitikerNEU,  not like that now.
[19:44] <PolitikerNEU> duffydack: Ok, I'll try again now :-)
[19:44] <Pici> Tenoch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD is a better method for installing a cli system from scratch
[19:44] <gandhi> i just installed 9.04 with ext4
[19:44] <gandhi> pretty damn fast
[19:44] <duffydack> PolitikerNEU, I been using it since hardy, cant say ive noticed a problem...
[19:44] <wcGary83> Hi! Could someone help me with any ideas on a problem- with nvidia not saving the correct resolution upon startup?
[19:44] <PolitikerNEU> Ah, really, it does work :-)
[19:44] <wcGary83> I would greatly appreciate it!
[19:45] <gandhi> launchpad must be busy as hell right now
[19:45] <gandhi> getting keys is taking forever
[19:45] <PolitikerNEU> oh - the reason for this is I mean "new wave" :-/
[19:45] <bucky> wcGary83, have you set it in System=>Preferences=>Display
[19:45] <Watchitnow> Guys I wanna install ubuntu but the install disk isn't detecting Win7. It says "Windows Vista (Loader)" and only says it's 100MB in size. What's the deal?
[19:45] <PolitikerNEU> where firefox's menu texts are black
[19:46] <Zeun32> Where are the fstab logs located created during startup ?
[19:46] <fccf> gandhi: you might want to use a different keyserver ... keyserver.ubuntu.com has had some problems as of late ... pool.sks-keyservers.net works ... takes 5-10 min to update to launchpad
[19:46] <VickiWong> if my ubuntu wont boot or my drive has problems what logs should i check?
[19:46] <bucky> Watchitnow, is that Wubi?
[19:46] <wcGary83> bucky: I set it with nvidia settings manager, and saved it to xorg.conf through that... I did this under root (gksudo), but everytime it starts, 800x600...
[19:46] <gandhi> ah really?
[19:47] <gandhi> thanks for the tip
[19:47] <bucky> wcGary83, have you set it in System=>Preferences=>Display
[19:47] <Watchitnow> bucky: No. Normal install.
[19:47] <fccf> gandhi: np
[19:47] <Zeun32> Where are the fstab logs located created during startup ?
[19:47] <mdgrech> I burnt a data disc on my ubuntu machine, when i try to open the disc on a mac, it tells me the disc is blank. I can open the disc just find on my ubuntu machine, what gives?
[19:47] <bucky> hmm..
[19:47] <wcGary83> bucky: i tried, but it sends me to nvidia...
[19:47] <virus> join irc.krakow.pl
[19:47] <Zeun32> plz..Where are the fstab logs located created during startup ?
[19:48] <fccf> mdgrech: what program did you use to burn?
[19:48] <mdgrech> fccf: brashero
[19:48] <bucky> wcGary83, have you set it in System=>Preferences=>Display=>X-Server-Display-Configuration ?
[19:49] <wcGary83> bucky: I have not, i will try that right now
[19:49] <axisys> how come i dont get a icon when turn on remote desktop? i did say alaways display icon.. i need to find a way to share my whole desktop w/ my users with them coming *only* thru browser

[19:51] <virus> dicsonnect
[19:51] <wcGary83> bucky: when I try going to System=>Preferences=>Display, it says my graphics driver doesn't support the necessary extensions... then sends me to nvidia x server settings
[19:51] <queso_> I have multiverse and universe repos added to my repository list, why can't I install bitchx irc client? Is it not in development anymore?
[19:51] <syrius> fo' sho' nigga

[19:52] <jiffe> I created a directory /var/run/pen and something keeps removing it, any idea what might do that?
[19:52] <andcor> Anybody compiled linuxwacom on ubuntu 8.10 ?
[19:52] <queso_> Watchitnow, mneptok: Doh! Okay, thank you :)

[19:53] <syrius> why you be hatin'? mneptok
[19:53] <syrius> why you racist?

[19:53] <VickiWong> what logs should i check after failed boot?
[19:54] <jiffe> ok
[19:55] <Watchitnow> Guys I wanna install ubuntu but the install disk isn't detecting Win7. It says "Windows Vista (Loader)" and only says it's 100MB in size. What's the deal?
[19:56] <Parisi> 7 creates a 100mn partition as of now from i can see.
[19:56] <Parisi> Perhaps a boot partition.
[19:56] <andcor> Watchitnow: I think windows 7 are using the same loader as windows vista, which is why it is detected that way
[19:56] <Watchitnow> But the install disk isn't detecting the NTFS partition Win7 is on.
[19:57] <andcor> I have installed windows 7 and ubuntu side by side and it works just fine
[19:57] <Parisi> I would worry about that after the install.
[19:57] <Watchitnow> What if it deletes the Win7 installation?
[19:57] <Parisi> err
[19:57] <fccf> syrius: can you tell what color anybody here is? respecting one color may be disrespectful to another.... keep to the  spirit of ubuntu (humanity to others) ... which means respecting those who spend hours everyday helping people like you without regard to race, creed, sex, national origin, or arch choice
[19:57] <andcor> Its only detecting the boot-loader ?
[19:57] <Parisi> It wont unless you allow it to.
[19:57] <Watchitnow> andcor: Yes.
[19:57] <Watchitnow> It's not detecting the actual partition.
[19:58] <ctmjr> VickiWong: dmesg / kernel log / system log
[19:58] <andcor> ok, and you are looking at the partition editor ?
[19:58] <tony99> in the system manager.....whats the difference between free hdd space and available hdd space
[19:58] <Watchitnow> Not right now. I booted back into Windows to come here :P
[19:58] <trakcyia> What is the command to create text file a, who's contents is test
[19:58] <Parisi> I usually try to stay away from multiple installs on the same Disk.
[19:58] <Parisi> Thats always risky stuff on my eyes
[19:59] <syrius> representin' my colorahs
[19:59] <Mitsurugi> hey guys, can sb recommend me a good backup soft
[19:59] <VickiWong> ctmjr, thanks
[19:59] <andcor> Mitsurugi; i'm using rsync
[19:59] <Parisi> Unless you are 100% sure the proper partition is being used for the install.
[19:59] <Parisi> Ubuntu will usually ask you before wiping it
[19:59] <Watchitnow> I'm almost 100% sure it isn't.
[20:00] <Watchitnow> I've never seen this and I've done tens of ubuntu installs.
[20:00] <Parisi> hmm
[20:00] <Parisi> try again and take a screenshot of the partition editor.
[20:00] <simplexio> last Watchitnow
[20:00] <ctmjr> !backup | Mitsurugi
[20:00] <Parisi> Come back and show it to me/us
[20:00] <VickiWong> In my kern.log I have hours of 'possible SYN flooding on port 51412. Sending cookied' is this something to worry about?
[20:00] <Mitsurugi> andcor, is a command line program? is ok for a rook user like me?
[20:00] <Mitsurugi> oh, thx ctmjr
[20:00] <Watchitnow> Parisi: I'll do that now.
[20:00] <Watchitnow> simplexio: What?
[20:00] <andcor> Watchitnow: ok, I actually can't remember if the ubuntu install actually saw the win 7 partition when i installed
[20:00] <VickiWong> literrlay 8 hours of possible SYN flooding
[20:01] <VickiWong> literaly*
[20:01] <simplexio> just wanted to see what you were saying
[20:01] <Parisi> Watchitnowm yeah, i will have to do the same thing as you soon, maybe i'll learn a thing or 2 from you.
[20:01] <Watchitnow> Oh.
[20:01] <Watchitnow> Alright, I'll brb.
[20:01] <Parisi> l

[20:01] <Mitsurugi> it's not exactly for the system, is for a external drive but it will works too, i think
[20:01] <Sam18> is there anyone in here who uses mocp with gpm?
[20:01] <Steve^> How can I restart compiz without closing my programs?
[20:02] <simplexio> but... yes fdisk should see win7 partition right. far as i knwo even ms still knows howto implement partition tables standart way
[20:02] <borior> hi all. can I find the jaunty server default kernel config somewhere? not in /proc/config.gz
[20:02] <andcor> simplexio: it should, and the windows 7 partitions are found just fine in a fully installed system
[20:02] <blackxored> anyone has worked usb with vmware server???
[20:03] <andcor> simplexio: just can't remember if it detected it during install
[20:03] <andcor> nobody compiled linuxwacom ?
[20:04] <ubuntunoobie> good evening
[20:04] <fccf> andcor: xserver-xorg-input-wacom ???
[20:04] <simplexio> andcor: far as i know livecd uses same fdisk/gparted that fully intalled ubuntu. well. some installer may parse stuff wrong but that probably dosent affect anything importand
[20:04] <andcor> yeah
[20:04] <mbeierl> Steve^: go to a terminal and enter "compiz --replace &"
[20:04] <fccf> andcor: that is the package
[20:04] <ezegys> I have removed the grub of another ubuntu,  but even if I update-grub in my new ubuntu, it finds the core.img and grub2 , chainloads them into the menu.1st, how to prevent this plese ?
[20:05] <Tayos__> what's up guys?
[20:05] <fccf> !hi | ubuntunoobie
[20:05] <ubuntunoobie> having some trouble installing ubuntu :(
[20:05] <andcor> fccf: I know, but I'm trying to get xinerama working, but it doesn't using the package from the repos
[20:05] <ubuntunoobie> or better said.. i think it installs
[20:05] <fccf> !details | ubuntunoobie
[20:05] <andcor> fccf: so I have compiled the 8.4.1 version from sf.org
[20:05] <ubuntunoobie> but when pc restarts, i get grub error 21
[20:06] <fccf> andcor: of xinerama, or wacom?
[20:06] <ubuntunoobie> having a raid 0  pc (came by default like this, I don't even know how to change that)
[20:06] <andcor> fccf: xinerama is a setting in wacom which can be set in both xorg.conf or using xsetwacom
[20:06] <enduser000> hello everyone! does anyone know how to get spanish spell checking going on abiword?
[20:07] <ezegys> plz. help guys, update-grub finds the grub thats already removed from the file boot/grub/core.img. So how to update this file ?
[20:07] <ubuntunoobie> had vista installed and wanted a dual boot, but seemingly the ubuntu install deleted full vista partition and installed linux on it
[20:07] <simplexio> ubuntunoobie: on boot from bios, or after bios has loaded ctrl+f4? maybe
[20:07] <ikonia> ubuntunoobie: remove fake raid 0
[20:08] <ubuntunoobie> problem is I have a logitech keyboard
[20:08] <ubuntunoobie> does not load on boot
[20:08] <WatchItNow> Parisi: You there?
[20:08] <ikonia> ubuntunoobie: remove fake raid in your bios
[20:08] <andcor> fccf: and now I have actually gotten it correctly set up in xorg.conf for when i'm using two screens, but I can't set it back again without changing the xorg.conf file because xsetwacom is segfaulting
[20:08] <ubuntunoobie> can't enter bios
[20:08] <enduser000> ubuntunoobie: usb?
[20:08] <ubuntunoobie> yes
[20:08] <ikonia> ubuntunoobie: buy a new keyboard then - that's not an ubuntu issue
[20:08] <ubuntunoobie> ok, i have an old one around
[20:09] <enduser000> ubuntunoobie: yeah, cheap usb keyboards should work
[20:09] <fccf> andcor: are you running xsetwacom as root?
[20:09] <ubuntunoobie> so i change "fakeraid"?
[20:09] <andcor> fccf: I've tried both
[20:09] <_PiLoT_> ok my mates got a eeepc tiny white thing that has wifi he ran the update and it turned the wifi off
[20:09] <enduser000> does anyone know how to spell check in a different language in abiword? setting the default document language doesn't seem to do anything
[20:09] <ikonia> ubuntunoobie: yes, read your motherboard manual
[20:10] <WatchItNow> Parisi: http://i28.tinypic.com/29n8hhf.png
[20:10] <ubuntunoobie> okido, gonna try... restarting computer again (luckily the live CD works great that I can connect to the internet... or i'd be lost)
[20:10] <fccf> fccf: xsetwacom is probably conflicting with your xinerama ... does your tablet work?
[20:10] <fccf> andcor: ^^
[20:10] <tylerknowsthis> When transferring a large 1GB tar file across the internet, do you think it would take more time to compress it to a gz and then transfer it, or just plain transfer the tar file?
[20:10] <ezegys> how to update /boot/grub/core.bin file, so that update-grub dont adds the removed grub into menu.1st ?
[20:10] <WatchItNow> andcor: This is what I'm getting if you need a better idea: http://i28.tinypic.com/29n8hhf.png
[20:10] <VickiWong> I am having recurring problems with  a new 500GB SATA WD HDD, kern.log reports ata1 : SError: (RecovComm 10B8B Dispay) and then Hard resetting link
[20:10] <fccf> tylerknowsthis: what type of file?
[20:11] <ikonia> tylerknowsthis: depends on your machine and your connection, only you can answer that, I'd suggest compressing it any way
[20:11] <burntresistor> im trying to install ffmpeg i cant find a list of possible codecs i can enable in any of the guides ive looked at
[20:11] <ezegys> how to update /boot/grub/core.bin file, so that update-grub dont adds the removed grub into menu.1st ?
[20:11] <Kalex> histo, guys.
[20:11] <andcor> fccf: yeah it works. I'm not actually running a xinerama setup, just the wacom setting xinerama
[20:11] <tylerknowsthis> fccf: a tar file containing various PHP files, sit files containing large graphics and flash files
[20:11] <ikonia> ezegys: are you using wubi
[20:11] <Kalex> I'm trying to install windows beside my Linux so I can dual boot.
[20:11] <Kalex> But the machine won't boot from the drive.
[20:11] <ikonia> Kalex: from what drive ?
[20:12] <Kalex> I already checked, and the boot menu is set so the CD drive boots first.
[20:12] <andcor> WatchItNow: try choosing specify partitions manually (advanced
[20:12] <tylerknowsthis> I've got to transfer this file in the next three hours, wonder if I should gz it or not, whether I'll make it (gzip is taking it's time)
[20:12] <andcor> )
[20:12] <ikonia> Kalex: if a cd won't boot - it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[20:12] <bhychik> Hello
[20:12] <bhychik> Could anyone help me please
[20:12] <Kalex> It just goes straight to the Grub loading.
[20:12] <andcor> WatchItNow: That screen you are looking at now are almost allways sort of wrong
[20:12] <enduser000> bhychik: what's your question?
[20:12] <bhychik> I have problem with apt-get
[20:12] <andcor> WatchItNow: The safest thing to do is allways to do it manually
[20:13] <bhychik> it download the same packages several time
[20:13] <ezegys> ikonia: no I had xubuntu previously, I installed a new base system into the new partiotion. Then I removed the old grub from previous xubuntu. Not as I update-grub into base system, it still keeps the chain to grub 2 into menu.1st file. WHy ?
[20:13] <bhychik> about 100-120
[20:13] <fccf> andcor: 2 screens?
[20:13] <ikonia> ezegys: grub2 ?
[20:13] <enduser000> bhychik: you can try "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" to remove any unnecessary packages
[20:13] <tylerknowsthis> about what % does gzipping a tar file reduce the file size?
[20:13] <bhychik> i think there is a problem with net, but probably it is my mistake
[20:13] <tony99> can someone goto system monitor for me then hit the file systems tab and explain to me the difference between free and available space?...
[20:13] <bhychik> no
[20:13] <ikonia> tylerknowsthis: it depends - you'll have to let it finish
[20:14] <andcor> fccf: yeah i have used xrandr to set up a dual screen setup
[20:14] <bhychik> you did not understand
[20:14] <losher> VickiWong: download the manufacturer's diagnostic disk and run it on your SATA drive...
[20:14] <glimpse25> im new to ubuntu, how do i install thunderbird after downloading?
[20:14] <bhychik> when i write "sudo apt-get install rar"
[20:14] <tony99> its allready installed glimp
[20:14] <ezegys> ikonia: It says "Found GRUB 2: /boot/grub/core.bin"
[20:14] <glimpse25> thx
[20:14] <bhychik> it download rar package for 100 times
[20:14] <fccf> andcor: I don't think xinerama is an option for wacom ... looking at man wacom ... see twinview there
[20:14] <andcor> fccf: and then I use the xinerama setting to force the wacom tablet only to correspond to one screen
[20:14] <bhychik> and only after that install it
[20:14] <ikonia> ezegys: are you meant to be using grub2 rather than grub 1 ?
[20:14] <VickiWong> losher, will check now, for info this is what dmesg/kern/syslog all show for the error : http://pastebin.com/m294e3392
[20:14] <tony99> glimpse25 app -> network -> thunderbird
[20:14] <mouka> How do I install kubuntu if I have ubuntu already installed?
[20:15] <andcor> fccf: aaah sorry, I remembered the name wrong
[20:15] <andcor> fccf: what an idiot I am
[20:15] <Circs> mouka: You can just change your window manager if you want
[20:15] <mouka> Circs: How so?
[20:15] <mouka> I am new to ubuntu
[20:16] <tisepti> mouka: there should be a package you can install to do that. i think it might be kubuntu-desktop
[20:16] <fccf> so option twinview none .... again see man wacom ... should help you
[20:16] <ezegys> ikonia: Its not version actually, they both are grub 0.97
[20:16] <Circs> mouka: I'm a little sketchy but it a simple apt-get ought to install it, switching would be more complicated google switching to KDE and that should have a tutorial
[20:16] <lunatic> I'm trying to increase my boot speed on my 1000he. I was reading that you can disable unnecessary kernel modules. How would I go about doing that? Also, what would be the best way to stop unnecessary services?
[20:16] <bastidrazor> mouka: in a terminal type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[20:16] <WatchItNow> andcor: So just making the NTFS partition smaller would fix this? I'm sort of worried after that first screen got it horrible wrong.
[20:16] <WatchItNow> horribly*
[20:16] <enduser000> does anyone know how to spell check in a different language in abiword? setting the default document language doesn't seem to do anything
[20:16] <fccf> !blacklist | lunatic
[20:16] <ctmjr> bhychik: apt-get downloaded 1 file 100 times? i do not think that is possible
[20:17] <bastidrazor> mouka: once you reboot at the login manager select kde/kubuntu
[20:17] <mouka> thanks guys
[20:17] <VickiWong> losher, looking at WD's website for support software they don't seem to have a tool for linux, only DOS and Windows
[20:17] <andcor> no, you should some other tool like partition magic to resize the ntfs partition
[20:17] <ezegys> ikonia: My new system's grub when updated still links to the grub of my old system that has been removed already, that's the problem
[20:17] <Circs> I'm having a problem with gparted, it sits there and scans continually, could anyone help or give an alternative to use?
[20:17] <lunatic> is there a decent guide on blacklisting?
[20:17] <mouka> That's what I needed
[20:17] <andcor> WatchItNow: If you haven't gotten the free space for the ubuntu install
[20:17] <Mqueue> hello everyone
[20:17] <Mqueue> i was wondering if anyone have any idea about this issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1262145
[20:18] <ezegys> ikonia: It's bcoz when I do "sudo update-grub" it reads some file like /boot/grub/core.img and creates links to this old grub into menu.1st
[20:18] <losher> VickiWong: I *think* it means the disk stops responding & has to be sent a reset. This could be a disk issue, or possibly the motherboard controller. The DOS tool should be bootable i.e. it doesn't rely on the operating system...
[20:18] <andcor> WatchItNow: and then after you have resized the ntfs partition to make room for linux you should choose to setup the partitions manually, and then you should ensure that you have around 1-2 GB of swap disk and the rest mounted as /
[20:19] <VickiWong> losher, thhanks ill make a bootable copy :)
[20:19] <fccf> ezegys: thats menu.lst with an L not 1
[20:19] <losher> VickiWong: been there. Good luck...

[20:20] <losher> Circs: hi, I think we spoke last night. What kind of drive, what kind of partition?

[20:21] <Circs> losher: This is actually an unrelated issue, but 'm just trying to partition a sd card into a fat32 and a ext2 filesystem
[20:22] <ezegys> fccf: have seen
[20:22] <losher> WatchItNow: resizing/copying is notoriously slow. Sit on your hands...

[20:41] <shawndrost> hey all, I'm trying to upgrade apache2, but after 'sudo apt-get install apache2', 'apache -v' doesn't output the most current version (2.2.13).  how can I get 2.2.13?
[20:41] <ankur9118> when i run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it gives the error...
[20:41] <ankur9118> invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed
[20:41] <losher> yess_: you do *not* have permission. If you post you will get banned. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:42] <Circs> losher: We appear to have liftoff!
[20:42] <ankur9118> somebody help me out...
[20:42] <enduser0001> hello, can anyone help me get spanish spell checking going on abiword? I can't seem to figure it out
[20:42] <yess_> thanks losher
[20:42] <losher> Circs: before you proceed further, is there anything on /dev/sdb you need to preserve?
[20:42] <yess_> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:42] <Circs> losher: Nope already copied off everything
[20:43] <losher> Circs: ok, if gparted comes up ok, you should be able to proceed as normal...
[20:43] <Circs> losher: Yep everything is working fine. TY so much I sitting there just going, ummm what's wrong?
[20:44] <hwilde> anybody here working on ubuntu ARM support ?
[20:44] <losher> Circs: well, it's unusual. I think you actually hit a bug in gparted's scanning code...
[20:44] <Mqueue> i was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue:>>  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1262145
[20:45] <lunatic> Is there any way to find out which kernel modules load during boot?
[20:45] <Circs> losher: Could be the mash up of i386/lpia arc stuff on this machine
[20:45] <innociv> Erk.  I accidently did sudo rm -rf /tmp instead of sudo rm -rf tmp.  I think I deleted some things I needed.  Anything I can do about it? :x
[20:45] <charles01> pleaes brother an sister im deading help
[20:45] <WatchItNow> Does my / partition have to be a primary one?
[20:46] <hwilde> lunatic, lsmod
[20:46] <WatchItNow> And swap logical?
[20:46] <darkonc> Innociv: Just logout and log back in.  Anything necessary in /tmp will be regenerated.
[20:46] <innociv> kk
[20:46] <CatEater> does anyone here run ubuntu in a vm on windows? what vm are you running it in?
[20:46] <darkonc> watchitnow: No. root and swap can be on any partition....
[20:46] <lunatic> hwilde: Many thanks
[20:47] <hwilde> CatEater, vmware
[20:47] <enduser0001> CatEater: try virtualbox, that seemed to work for me when I ran it that way
[20:47] <andcor> WatchItNow: not sure but i allways make both primary
[20:47] <CatEater> enduser0001: i can't view my virtualbox vm
[20:47] <lunatic> I use virtual box to run windows in ubuntu
[20:47] <enduser0001> does anyone know how I can get spanish (es-ES) spellchecking working in abiword? I can set the default document language, but that doesn't seem to help
[20:47] <losher> innociv: I would sudo mkdir /tmp and then reboot...
[20:48] <CatEater> the window with the display simply never appears, no matter what i do
[20:48] <innociv> Well nothing is like carshing so I don't see the reason to reboot?
[20:48] <tintinz> hej
[20:48] <CatEater> what hardware are you running it on? maybe vbox knows i'm on a laptop or it hates the copmpany that made my computer or something
[20:48] <darkonc> If innociv ran the rm -rf as non-root (s)he shouldn't need to recreate /tmp.
[20:48] <enduser0001> CatEater: odd, you might try #vbox on this server
[20:49] <hwilde> enduser0001, did you install aspell-es
[20:49] <innociv> Oh wait. sql problems :x
[20:49] <tintinz> jag är ganska ny på dehär med ubuntu och skulle gärna vilja ha lite hjälp med att sätta upp en FTP och WEBb server
[20:49] <innociv> I did sudo, darkonc
[20:49] <hwilde> tintinz, what language is that ?
[20:49] <tintinz> swe
[20:49] <enduser0001> hwilde: nope, trying that now. thanks
[20:49] <gustavonarea> Hi. I'm using the netboot installer and I am confused partitioning wizard. I am here <http://gustavonarea.net/files/tmp/disco.jpg>. Where should I go to create multiple partitions? "Guided partitioning" and "SCSI1 ..." only let me use the entire dist.
[20:49] <CatEater> ok, so there's at least one person who can run ununtu on vbox on windows
[20:49] <darkonc> If innociv ran the rm -rf as non-root (s)he shouldn't need to recreate /tmp.   If tmp needs to be recreated then you also need to  'sudo chmod 1777 /tmp'   That makes it writable all, and sticky (so you can't remove a different usr's files)
[20:50] <kaptengu> tintinz: join #ubuntu-se for swedish
[20:50] <CatEater> enduser0001: i am trying but they don't know how to view the display window
[20:50] <enduser0001> hwilde: thanks! that's a better grade for me if it's spelled right :P
[20:50] <enduser0001> (it worked)
[20:50] <enduser0001> CatEater: so you have a vm all ready to go with ubuntu, and when you hit start, nothing happens?
[20:50] <CatEater> can you tell me more about your setup? i think i might have to buy new hardware just to run ubuntu
[20:50] <innociv> I didn't do it as root, but I did do sudo
[20:50] <CatEater> i have it installed already
[20:50] <borior> do i want kernel tracers? I'm guessing not unless I'm a kernel developer?
[20:51] <The2morrowMan> What does Ubuntu have over Debian as far as the server aspect?
[20:51] <ankur9118> at least give me the channel name to ask troubleshooting questions about ubuntu...
[20:51] <CatEater> when i hit start, it boots, and even makes noises at some point, but i never see the window that contains the display
[20:51] <andcor> ankur9118: What are your problem ?
[20:51] <enduser0001> CatEater: I ran it on a dell xps m1330 (currently running ubuntu nativley)
[20:51] <CatEater> i have no idea how i could have gotten it installed
[20:51] <CatEater> oh ok, native hardware
[20:51] <CatEater> i can't afford that
[20:51] <enduser0001> CatEater: ok so you have virtualbox installed, right?
[20:52] <CatEater> yes, on a windows xp host
[20:52] <shawndrost> hey all, I'm trying to update apache2, but after 'sudo apt-get install apache2', 'apache -v' doesn't output the most current version (2.2.13).  how can I get 2.2.13?
[20:52] <ankur9118> i am unable to login into graphical mode ...
[20:52] <hwilde> CatEater, did you search for this online?   http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
[20:52] <andcor> ankur9118: you have a graphical mode running ?
[20:52] <hwilde> ankur9118, hit ctrl+alt+f1 and see if you can login that way
[20:52] <ankur9118> right now i am using live cd
[20:52] <CatEater> suggest a search term
[20:53] <CatEater> i get lots of generic random nonsense from google with whatever i put in
[20:53] <CatEater> nothing about my vm window never appearing, ever
[20:53] <hwilde> CatEater, I just gave you a link
[20:53] <andcor> ankur9118: but using your installed system the graphical system is running but you can't remember the password ?
[20:54] <The2morrowMan> shawndrost, did you run "sudo apt-get update" first?
[20:54] <ankur9118> its not about password ...
[20:54] <CatEater> that looks like exactly what i did to get ubuntu installed
[20:54] <CatEater> now where is it?
[20:54] <ankur9118> when ever it goes to runlevel 2
[20:54] <shawndrost> The2morrowMan: yup
[20:54] <brnocrist> oi
[20:54] <CatEater> i have an ubuntu install that makes noises but i can't view the display
[20:54] <CatEater> this is ridiculous
[20:55] <ankur9118> it stops working...i mean it failed to start gdm
[20:55] <The2morrowMan> shawndrost, Was apache running when you tried to update it?
[20:55] <brnocrist> what is a good repository for latest kernel version?
[20:55] <andcor> ankur9118: what is the problem then. Telling us that you are unable to login in your graphical environment dows not tell os much
[20:55] <brnocrist> i need 2.6.31
[20:55] <losher> shawndrost: what does  apt-cache show apache2 say about the version in the repository
[20:55] <shawndrost> The2morrowMan yes
[20:55] <The2morrowMan> shawndrost, Can't replace the binary while it's running, I don't think. Restart Apache, and see what happens.
[20:56] <skyn3t> hey guys
[20:56] <shawndrost> The2morrowMan I restarted apache, same deal.
[20:56] <The2morrowMan> shawndrost, No clue, then.
[20:56] <brnocrist> !help
[20:56] <skyn3t> how i can get Intel(R) PRO/100 driver fix
[20:56] <losher> shawndrost: I repeat: what does  apt-cache show apache2 say about the version in the repository
[20:56] <brnocrist> !kernel
[20:56] <ankur9118> andcor: when i run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it gives the error...
[20:56] <The2morrowMan> But yeah, I'm wondering what Ubuntu has over Debian in the server arena. Any thoughts?
[20:56] <brnocrist> uhm
[20:56] <shawndrost> losher: it says a lot, including Version: 2.2.11
[20:56] <ankur9118> andcor: invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed
[20:56] <skyn3t> i have another pc with ubuntu but no internet at all
[20:57] <CatEater> what's the cheapest way to run ubuntu? vbox doesn't work and dual boot isn't an option
[20:57] <skyn3t> i did some search and i cant put this to work
[20:57] <andcor> ankur9118: what does dmesg tell you ?
[20:57] <webustany> hi there
[20:57] <shawndrost> losher: the rest is here: http://pastie.org/611508 nothing seems informative
[20:57] <webustany> are there compatiblity package for the libstdc++, version 3 ?
[20:57] <webustany> *packages
[20:58] <ankur9118> andcor: can i do chroot with live cd and then run the dmesg
[20:59] <andcor> nope, but you might just be able to see the /var/log/syslog
[20:59] <losher> shawndrost: I think that means the latest repo version is 2.2.11. If you want a later version, you'll have to download it from somewhere else. Open synaptic & search for apache2 to confirm...
[20:59] <andcor> it's the same information
[20:59] <VickiWong> anyone know how to make WD's HDD diagnostic tool bootable from USB?
[21:00] <shawndrost> losher thx
[21:00] <ankur9118> now do you want that information now...
[21:00] <VickiWong> a found a guide that tells me to copy grub from /boot/grub/stage* to the usb but i dont have such files
[21:00] <andcor> can you put it into a pastebin or something ?
[21:00] <skyn3t> how i can get Intel(R) PRO/100 to work anyone
[21:01] <losher> VickiWong: you *don't* have /boot/grub/stage1  /boot/grub/stage2 ? That's odd. Something special about your Ubuntu install you haven't told us yet?
[21:02] <VickiWong> losher, ah bugger my main ubuntu install isnt booting so i botted into an ubuntu install on my other HDD, forgot it is a wubi install
[21:04] <losher> VickiWong: when you get that sorted, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ might help you make something bootable from the WD iso...

[21:06] <GuidMorrow> omg!
[21:06] <psygate> Hi thar!
[21:07] <psygate> Does anyone know a good program/software package (free) to edit circuit diagrams and simulate them?
[21:07] <GuidMorrow> security question here, is ubuntu affected by any spyware attack like Smithfraud.C or SpySheriff, etc...
[21:07] <ankur9118> andcor: http://pastebin.com/m416f16c4
[21:07] <psygate> @GuidMorrow no. not really as far as i know
[21:07] <PolitikerNEU> psygate: qucs maybe?
[21:07] <GuidMorrow> what about tracking cookies
[21:08] <psygate> @GuidMorrow The excellent root/user managment of unix/linux prevents most of these attacks.
[21:08] <psygate> Tracking cookies are not the business of the underlying operating system.
[21:08] <GuidMorrow> got this noob in my face threatening me with a virus attack, and I don't know how he got my Gmail address
[21:09] <psygate> @GuidMorrow as long as you dont download anything or execute something in root mode, you should be safe.
[21:09] <GuidMorrow> !virus
[21:09] <psygate> only thing that can happen is that your "user data" which is not root only access can be damaged.
[21:10] <GuidMorrow> ... crap
[21:10] <losher> GuidMorrow: that's very unfriendly. How do you read your email? Can you pastebin the email with full headers?
[21:11] <OT_irssi> http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[21:12] <lexr> did anyone notice that if you remove human icon theme, it removes gnome power manager??? Why is that?
[21:13] <psygate> @GuidMorrow I wouldn't be alarmed too much. Get Firestarter, monitor your Ports and Connections and terminate them on demand.
[21:13] <psygate> With Linux you are very safe.
[21:13] <OT_irssi> o.o is that you 'removed' some packages which involved with the grome theme?
[21:13] <psygate> As long as he isn't that uber-hacker like Nitzsche wrote about ^^
[21:13] <OT_irssi> *gnome
[21:13] <gbertonemh> Hola a todos

[21:14] <GuidMorrow> !firestarter
[21:14] <yellowrooster> help. how do i undelete my trash folder? 8-(
[21:14] <lexr> !es
[21:14] <psygate> I prefer firestarter. ^^
[21:14] <psygate> has that nice GUI feeling.
[21:15] <kernelpanic_> Hi all ...
[21:15]  * psygate sings. "But when I get this feeling, it is Socket healing" ^^
[21:15] <gartral> alt-tab stopped working.. using metacity instead of compiz for now..
[21:16] <OT_irssi> Hi...
[21:16] <anli_> I get a lot of 404:s when I try apt-get update
[21:16] <GuidMorrow> ok, once I have firestarter installed, how do I load it
[21:16] <anli_> and also when trying apt-get --fix-missing update
[21:16] <Flannel> anli_: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[21:16] <fccf> anli_: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[21:17] <anli_> its a 2.6.22-16 kernel
[21:17] <anli_> hm
[21:17] <Flannel> anli_: lsb_release -a
[21:17] <psygate> @GuidMorrow Its in the applications menu.
[21:17] <anli_> ah, 7.10
[21:17] <lstarnes> anli_: 7.10 is no longer supported
[21:17] <lstarnes> anli_: you should probably upgrade to 8.04
[21:17] <Flannel> anli_: 7.10 isn't supported anymore, so the repos have been taken offline.  You should upgrade to 8.04 (which is still supporting, being LTS)
[21:18] <anli_> Can I upgrade apt so it uses the newer packages?
[21:18] <lstarnes> anli_: no
[21:18] <Flannel> anli_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades
[21:18] <lstarnes> anli_: you must upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu
[21:18] <anli_> but reinstalling the system is not an option
[21:18] <anli_> hm
[21:18] <anli_> ok
[21:19] <lstarnes> anli_: you don't need to reinstall
[21:19] <anli_> aha
[21:19] <lstarnes> anli_: there is a procedure for upgrading in place
[21:19] <anli_> aha
[21:19] <anli_> hm, I have to reboot the system then
[21:20] <psygate> @anli_ new kernel requires always a reboot.
[21:20] <anli_> hm
[21:20] <nikihr> ...
[21:20] <anli_> it would be cool if two kernels could run side by side
[21:20] <psygate> @anli_ VirtualMachine?
[21:21] <anli_> yes, but on the same system
[21:21] <anli_> in the same virtual space
[21:21] <fccf> anli_: change every instance of archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com in /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update .. then apt-get do-release-upgrade ... you will be up to Hardy 8.04 LTS
[21:21] <anli_> fccf: thats cool
[21:21] <psygate> @anli_ upgrade to jaunty jack?
[21:22] <Hydrid> do i need to forward anyother port except 21 for TLS/SSL/FTPS ?
[21:22] <fccf> psygate: anli_ cannot do that until they have done what I have said
[21:24] <psygate> @hybrid there are specifications on wikipedia which protocol uses which port.
[21:24] <lstarnes> Hydrid: I don't think passive ftp needs port forwarding
[21:26] <Solar_Flare> Anyone running the Ubuntu Server?
[21:26] <axisys>  how do I find out what binaries come with a pkg ?
[21:27] <pete0815> hi there
[21:27] <kernelpanic_> hi .. i have some problems with mov extensions .. what's can be?
[21:27] <fccf> Solar_Flare: yes, several instances of in fact
[21:27] <lstarnes> axisys: dpkg -L packagename
[21:27] <axisys> lstarnes: thanks
[21:27] <Solar_Flare> @fccf good and stable? Thinking about installing a server ^^
[21:27] <pete0815> i need to create a preconfigured ubuntu cd-rom.. what do i have to search for on google to read about this topic ?
[21:28] <anli_> fccf: it was se.archives.ubuntu.com instead of archives.ubuntu.com, but I should still name them old-releases.ubuntu.com, I suppose?
[21:28] <shawndrost> hey all, I need to update apache on a machine running a live website.  the version I need (2.2.13) isn't in any of the apt-get repositories.  what do I need to do to keep my current config and reinstall apache from source?
[21:28] <kimec> hi guys, I want to use seahorse with enigmail(thunderbird)
[21:28] <fccf> Solar_Flare: I run Hardy on all my servers ... had it running 3 months straight w/no problems until I updated and rebooted, so stable is the norm
[21:28] <balzac> when I edit /etc/hosts , how do i make the changes take effect?
[21:28] <lstarnes> axisys: there is also apt-file list packagename
[21:28] <balzac> i did networking restart
[21:28] <lstarnes> balzac: they should take effect immediately
[21:28] <balzac> they do not
[21:28] <balzac> sometimes yes, sometimes no
[21:28] <fccf> anli: yes, still old-releases.ubuntu.com ... I don't know where else it is mirrored
[21:28] <bucky> restart networking
[21:28] <kimec> whenever I encrypt message seahorse dialog appears, but I cannot input anything
[21:28] <balzac> i did and still
[21:29] <balzac> maybe it's browser caching
[21:29] <Solar_Flare>  @pete0815 there is an option to install a ubuntu on a usb stick with a directory for changes.
[21:29] <fccf> !enter | balzac
[21:29] <balzac> sorry, that's what it was
[21:29] <balzac> fccf: sorry
[21:29] <axisys> lstarnes: thanks
[21:29] <anli_> fccf: hm, error prone
[21:30] <fccf> balzac: no worries, just don't like my page scrolling @ 100mph
[21:30] <kimec> i guys, I want to use seahorse with enigmail(thunderbird). when I want to send an e-mail seahorse dialog appears, but I cannot input anything
[21:30] <fccf> anli_ editing as root?
[21:30] <axisys> lstarnes: apt-file: command not found
[21:30] <anli_> fccf: yes, but I dont like to edit manually, as I do now
[21:30] <pete0815> Solar_Flare: i use the normal ubuntu iso and plug in an usb-device additionally during the installation (the usb stick has to be prepared before the installation) right?
[21:30] <kimec> is this a bug?
[21:30] <lstarnes> axisys: it must be installed separately
[21:30] <kimec> is it seahorse related?
[21:30] <Solar_Flare> @pete0815 download the ubuntu iso, use the ubuntu "Usb-Dongle system creator" and set about 512mb as userspace.
[21:31] <anli_> fccf: archive.canonical.com then?
[21:31] <anli_> old-releases.canonical.com?
[21:31] <bucky> axisys, sudo apt-get install apt-file    sudo apt-file update
[21:31] <fccf> anli_ manually editing all http://sa.archives.ubuntu.com to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com is the correct way of putting apt back in shape
[21:31] <axisys> bucky: thanks
[21:32] <anli_> fccf: or to keep the old version of the file :)
[21:32] <bucky> axisys, if the package is installed already just dpkg -L <package_name>
[21:32] <Hillaballoo> good afternoon- I have a Dell Dimension 5150 which was upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid OK, then Intrepid to Jaunty, and now video is broken- multicolored vertical lines and the system won't respond to keyboard inputs, not even a three finger salute.  Boots OK off the LiveCD, which loads the 'intel' driver (system has a GMA 950)
[21:32] <axisys> bucky: yep, that worked .. lstarnes suggested that as well
[21:32] <Hillaballoo> I've tried doing an X -configure, as well as dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org
[21:33] <kernelpanic_> and
[21:33] <fccf> anli_: old-releases.ubuntu.com is the only place I know of that that repo exists ... there could be others but again IDK
[21:34] <fccf> !intel | Hillaballoo
[21:34] <Hillaballoo> reading, thank you
[21:34] <anli_> fccf: what shall I do with security.ubuntu.com?
[21:35] <snv> #plone
[21:36]  * bucky hands snv a /
[21:36] <Hillaballoo> ubottu: this isn't a performance issue, the machine crashes immediately upon Xorg startup...
[21:36]  * bucky hands snv a /join
[21:36] <fccf> anli_ the finalized repo is all on old-releases.ubuntu.com ... so change security.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com as well
[21:36] <Solar_Flare> @bucky I have no idea. Just use git.
[21:36] <Mqueue> can anyone help me with resizing the NFTS partition please ..i explained the problmem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1262145
[21:37] <Hillaballoo> fccf: this isn't a performance issue, the machine crashes immediately upon Xorg startup.
[21:37] <fccf> Hillaballoo: and crashing is also a problem, some cards GMA950 included have even worse problems ... the second link provides some fixes
[21:38] <Hillaballoo> ok, I'll read more closely
[21:39] <balzac> I'm extremely disappointed with Sun's Java
[21:39] <balzac> a travesty of licensing incompetence.

[21:41] <ActionParsnip> balzac: try: sudo find / -name "*.so" | grep java
[21:41] <harjot_> ok ty
[21:41] <Solar_Flare> @balzac use VNC?

[21:41] <diddy> How can I install Japanese Open Office on a German system?
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> balzac: the make sure the relevant .so file is symlinked in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[21:41] <diddy> I need the entire user interface in Japanese.
[21:41] <pting> anyone have recommendations on tools to perform a bash cmd/script on multiple servers at the same time?
[21:41] <balzac> ActionParsnip: sounds like you need to be a sysadmin to get the plugin installed
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> balzac: i simply install ubuntu-restricted-extras and its all worked fine
[21:42] <balzac> i'll try that
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> balzac: i suggest you run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:43] <balzac> I'd like to be a purist, but I have to compromise on codecs and java
[21:44] <balzac> you know what's happening with the incompatibilities - it's active denial. people break their APIs on purpose because some suit tells them to.
[21:44] <Aijse> I like to be a purist when its about coffee but with computers it's sometimes just not as smooth
[21:44] <balzac> i don't know how many times i've seen something integrated which is later broken
[21:44] <Mqueue> can anyone help me with resizing the NFTS partition please ..i explained the problmem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1262145
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> balzac: happens in all OSes
[21:44] <wildc4rd_> evening all
[21:45] <balzac> ActionParsnip: i'm committed to Ubuntu, but it's like a political consensus building to keep people on the same page
[21:45] <trism> balzac: did you install the plugin package, or just the jdk?
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> balzac: i just use what works
[21:46] <balzac> trism: i just installed the restricted package ActionParsnip recommended
[21:46] <Entelin> where is the script that generates this message:     desktop:~/incoming$ sl
[21:46] <Entelin> The program 'sl' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[21:46] <Entelin> sudo apt-get install sl
[21:46] <Entelin> i want to get rid of that
[21:46] <Entelin> its an annoying delay whenever i make a typo
[21:47] <fccf> Entelin: sl is steam locomotive .. it is a programmers joke, install it and find out what it does
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Entelin: well its searching your entire apt cache for the package
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> !info sl
[21:47] <anli_> root@bukowski:/etc/apt# apt-get do-release-upgrade
[21:47] <anli_> E: Invalid operation do-release-upgrade
[21:47] <MarkG> Hi, I want to host my own LAN mail server.  I want to collect my emails from my ISP's  POP3 server and serve them to several PC's on my network (all accessing the same IMAP mailbox).  What package would be best to achieve this?  I don't need much scalability 1-2 users at max.
[21:47] <Solar_Flare> !ubottu
[21:47] <Entelin> ActionParsnip, yeah i know i want it gone
[21:47] <anli_> fccf: could not use that command
[21:48] <gartral> an sl=ls alias will do the same >.>
[21:48] <Solar_Flare> I love that bot ^^
[21:48] <fccf> what command?
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> sl is AWESOME
[21:48] <gartral> !love
[21:48] <Entelin> ActionParsnip, I dont want to make an alias or make sl work, i just want the annoying apt cache search gone when I make a typo on anything
[21:48] <Entelin> it should just say "command not found"
[21:48] <gartral> !love > Solar_Flare
[21:49] <bucky> Entelin, it's a package that you can remove but i can't remember the name of it
[21:49] <fccf> anli_ what command?
[21:49] <Entelin> waiting a second or two for it to do a big search is irritating as hell
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> Entelin: i think it part of command not found package, itsearches the cacahe to see what provides that command afaik
[21:49] <Solar_Flare> !batman
[21:49] <pting> woot found one... clusterssh
[21:49] <fccf> !msgthebot
[21:50] <bucky> Entelin, sudo dpkg -r command-not-found
[21:50] <anli_> fccf: do-release-upgrade
[21:50] <Entelin> great thanks a bunch
[21:50] <Entelin> that worked fine
[21:51] <fccf> anli_: do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade .... then we will go from there
[21:51] <guntbert> anli_: sudo do-release-upgrade not apt-get...
[21:52] <anli_> guntbert: aha
[21:52] <fccf> guntburt: you are right, but lets make sure it has the latest of 7.10 before trying the upgrade
[21:52] <anli_> yeah, upgrading now
[21:52] <jake_> i have seen a wireless usb adapter that i know will work with ubuntu (edimax 7711Utn) but where would be a good place to check for 64 bit support? edimax website has nothing on there
[21:52] <guntbert> fccf: I was not following closely, thought you were already beyond that step :-)
[21:52] <arthur2> hi
[21:52] <anli_> upgrade seemed to be error free
[21:53] <anli_> now running do-release-upgrade
[21:53] <popey> fccf: it's dist-upgrade, not upgrade anyway :)
[21:53] <guntbert> popey: no
[21:53] <arthur2> i'm on ubuntu 8.10 . i've just installed compiz fusion . when i try to run it, it doesn't run
[21:53] <popey> guntbert: no?
[21:53] <anli_> sources.list got rewritten now
[21:53] <fccf> guntbert: thanks for your keen eye, I am a little fried this afternoon
[21:54] <anli_> aha, do-release-upgrade failed
[21:54] <anli_> a lot of 404:s
[21:54] <arthur2> it says , checking for Xgl , not present
[21:54] <guntbert> popey: its sudo do-release-upgrade (from gutsy to hardy)
[21:54] <arthur2> i have a intel vga
[21:54] <anli_> maybe I should not alter the sources.list before I did this, as fccf said
[21:54] <guntbert> fccf: np :-)
[21:54] <popey> guntbert: yes, I know that, i was merely pointing out a further mistake in his post which was that its not wise to upgrade but dist-upgrade
[21:54] <arthur2> installed the x86 intel drivers
[21:54] <arthur2> anyone can help?
[21:55] <bucky> anli_, did you do a sudo update-manager-core ?
[21:55] <anli_> nope
[21:55] <bucky> letsee
[21:55] <anli_> I can try that
[21:55] <guntbert> popey: I didn't see that :-)
[21:55] <anli_> what does it do?
[21:55] <Mqueue> can anyone help me with resizing the NFTS partition please ..i explained the problmem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1262145
[21:55] <anli_> bucky: seems to only be a update-manager command
[21:56] <Hillaballoo> fccf: I just added the updated packages described in the howto and edited my xorg config file.  Exactly the same behavior- vertical lines if I do startx, if I let the machine boot I get a scrambled screen with a barely-discernable ubuntu logo
[21:56] <guntbert> anli_: before do-release-upgrade you must change your sources-list once more - did you do that?
[21:57] <fccf> anli_: open sources.list ... check to see that it changed gutsy to hardy ,,, then change old-releases back to sa.archive and security ... getting past EOL takes a bit of editing
[21:57] <sls_> anyone here Canonical? I would like to have access to Canonicals Core IO analysis templates, or equivalent.
[21:58] <gartral> alt-tab stopped working.. using metacity instead of compiz for now..
[21:58] <KerberosHades> hi
[21:58] <sls_> IO = Infrastructure Optimization
[21:58] <guntbert> arthur2: please state you problem once more, but all in *one* line - its much easier to read :)

[22:06] <Solar_Flare> is there a possiblity too write a script that calls programs at startup?
[22:06] <revenge> how do i add a key to a repository in terminal?
[22:06] <jarjar> .bashrc
[22:06] <konryd> hello everyone, I'm trying to make a noninteractive installation of a package, but I keep beeing asked config questions. How can I avoid that?
[22:07] <jarjar> solar_flare: .bashrc in your home directory, or write the script, and add it through system->preferences->session/startup applications
[22:07] <Sergeant_Pony> in ubuntu 9.04 server, how do I disable the screensaver?
[22:07] <revenge> how do i add a key to a repository in terminal?
[22:07] <Solar_Flare> jarjar: thanks ^^
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Solar_Flare: sure, make the script then you can make it run by adding it to your preffered startup items
[22:07] <DjZemich> guntbert: Just saw that the image file only is about 400 MB, so something must have went wrong in the download
[22:08] <jarjar> solar_flare: you're walcome

[22:08] <fearthenofear> good afternoon. I have a question about networking between ubuntu and a xbox 360. I was wondering if i could use my ubuntu machine as a way for my xbox to connect to the internet.
[22:08] <guntbert> DjZemich: probably :-) - you can use torrents for download too
[22:09] <Solar_Flare> fearthenofear: iptables masquerade?
[22:09] <fearthenofear> me no hablo espanol
[22:09] <Solar_Flare> fearthenofear: i meant iptables has a function called "masquerade" read it up.
[22:09] <fccf> arber4444: you need to install hostapd to get your hardware to talk correctly
[22:10] <losher> konryd: well, you can use apt-get install -y <package> which will assume a "yes" answer to every question, but some configurations will go wrong if you do that, and not all questions can be answered with a simple yes, so in general there's no complete solution to this issue. Which package(s) btw?
[22:10] <fearthenofear> lol
[22:10] <axisys> is there a ruby enterprise pkg available? apt-cache search ruby | grep -i enter did not find any
[22:10] <DjZemich> guntbert: Thanks for the help, got a new image in 10 minutes :)
[22:10] <Solar_Flare> fearthenofear: You could use that for passing through the traffic of your xbox, so that it looks like your computer was a router.
[22:10] <guntbert> DjZemich: nice - spread the word about md5sum :-)
[22:11] <konryd> losher: mysql-server, the "-y" option skips mainly  "do you whish to download ...." questions
[22:11] <fearthenofear> Solar_Flare: Ok, thank you.
[22:11] <losher> konryd: so is that a solution for you, or not?
[22:12] <arber4444> Where can i get
[22:12] <arber4444> hostapd
[22:12] <konryd> losher: not really. I'm trying to find a way of temporarily setting debconf priority treshold to critical
[22:12] <arber4444> fccf: where can i get hostapd
[22:13] <fccf> arber4444: what version of ubuntu?
[22:13] <arber4444> 9.04
[22:13] <losher> konryd: sorry, way outta my league...
[22:13] <arber4444> fccf: i use 9.04

[22:20] <salmon> so something weird happened. the other day my number pad stopped working. i know it's not the keyboard because i have swapped out for another one. it works like the arrow keys. but with number lock on. it still functions like the arrow keys, not the number pad. anyone know why this might be?
[22:20] <bucky> Techtronic, did you rm -rf /etc/nagios-plugins/config/
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> skyn3t: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=407
[22:21] <Xanavi> scroll lock?

[22:21] <Techtronic> bucky yes
[22:21] <EXTACY> all u guys should know about john  the ripper . ..  it says password hashes not loaded  ...
[22:21] <bucky> Techtronic, that's why it's choking.. next time use the --purge option to remove config files
[22:22] <beagleburt> 'Bye, 'Bye folks - will try "#gnome" - sorry to bother wrong channel
[22:22] <skyn3t> ActionParsnip : i already did that
[22:22] <shane2peru> why do I have like 10 python processes running?  They aren't requiring a lot of cpu, but still, I don't think 10 python processes should be running.
[22:22] <EXTACY> ok beagleburt see ya
[22:22] <skyn3t> like i said i cant make this work
[22:22] <bucky> Techtronic, try sudo apt-get -f install   to see if it will correct itself
[22:22] <Techtronic> ok
[22:22] <prince_jammys> beagleburt: did you try putting the path to gdm in  /etc/X11/default-display-manager ?
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> shane2peru: do you use widgets or desklets?
[22:23] <pavel_> hi
[22:23] <shane2peru> ActionParsnip: ahh, right, I do have two of them, but that isn't a lot
[22:23] <pavel_> how are you
[22:23] <shane2peru> ActionParsnip: I guess if I start killing python's I will know what they go to right?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> shane2peru: can you use pastebin to give the output of: ps -ef | grep -i pyth
[22:23] <EXTACY> hey guys ho can i put this john the ripper to work

[22:24] <pavel_> what is this
[22:24] <pavel_> what is that
[22:24] <jake_> internet explorer is only available for pc's running windows
[22:24] <jake_> what a load of crap
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> pavel_: official ubuntu support
[22:24] <jake_> i want to download it
[22:24] <Xanavi> ugh lol
[22:24] <Xanavi> ie = crap
[22:24] <EXTACY> ...
[22:24] <axisys> jake_: ie4linux
[22:24] <pavel_> e
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> jake_: try ies4linux
[22:24] <arber4444> fccf: no it does not work
[22:24] <pavel_> jake
[22:24] <axisys> jake_: what ActionParsnip said
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> jake_: it runs badly but exists
[22:24] <pavel_> wacek
[22:25] <jake_> why wont they just let me download IE
[22:25] <Xanavi> if you need ie run a virtualbox, you have an xp license on an oem machine right?
[22:25] <pavel_> where are you from
[22:25] <jake_> UK
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> jake_: http://www.tatanka.com.br/    it sucks
[22:25] <fccf> arber4444: lemme keep looking ... I have a few min b4 a meeting I have to devote my attention to
 "gdm" is a Dir/Folder with several files in it?
[22:25] <shane2peru> ActionParsnip: that is cool
[22:25] <shane2peru> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/268208/  That answered my question
[22:25] <pavel_> what is that
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> shane2peru: cool :D
[22:26] <prince_jammys> beagleburt: gdm is an executable, likely located at /usr/bin/gdm. find out by doing: 'type gdm'  literally.
[22:26] <pavel_> yah
[22:26] <shane2peru> ActionParsnip: what is that command? ps?  that is pretty neat
[22:27] <Techtronic> bucky thank you ! ^^
[22:27] <prince_jammys> beagleburt: once you have the full path, edit  /etc/X11/default-display-manager  as superuser and replace the line with the full path you obtained.
[22:27] <ionut_> whatis gdm and whereis gdm are also helpful beagleburt
[22:27] <shane2peru> ActionParsnip: ohh, nevermind, man ps. :)
[22:27] <ceil420> how do i tell xchat to open URLs in Firefox 3.5 as opposed to Firefox 3.0? i looked in Settings -> Advanced -> URL Handlers... but the only browser listed was Opera (which i don't have) :x
[22:27] <ionut_> ceil420 have you checked Preferred Applications?
[22:27] <Hydrid> i have forward port 21, 22, 990, 989, but when i go to an online port checker it shows me only port 21 open ? is there a restriction for the other ports?
[22:28] <ceil420> ionut_, where's that at?
[22:28] <ionut_> Hydrid if you forwarded them from your router did you check the firewall on the machine you forwarded the ports to?
[22:28] <skyn3t> ActionParsnip : check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/268210/
[22:29] <ionut_> ceil420 System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> skyn3t: you need sudo for make install
[22:29] <Hydrid> ionut_:  is there a firewall in ubuntu that is running?
[22:29] <ionut_> in Ubuntu that is
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> skyn3t: sudo make install
[22:29] <ionut_> Hydrid the firewall is not enabled by default
[22:29] <ionut_> but it's there
[22:29] <ceil420> ionut_, i don't suppose you know how to get there from bash or e16? i don't use gnome :x
[22:29] <jake_> after running the script - how do i run IE?
[22:29] <Hydrid> ionut_:  can you point me where :)
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Hydrid: i just tried to telnet to port 22 and its not connecting
[22:30] <jake_> ActionParsnip, how do i run IE after installing from the script you sent me?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> jake_: cd ~/ies4linux; ies4linux
[22:30] <ionut_> Hydrid also make sure the services are listening (sudo netstat -antp should do that)
[22:30] <fire> hi all
[22:31] <ceil420> ionut_, i found it, but it already has "/usr/bin/firefox-3.5 %s" as my preferred Web Browser
[22:31] <kimec> hi guys, whenever seahorse passphrase dialog pops up on my computer it does not respond(cannot enter pass). Any help would be appreciated
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> jake_: it makes a folder in ~ by default
[22:31] <ionut_> ceil420 ->     sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser
[22:31] <jake_> ah ok - it just crashed on me the first time
[22:31] <jake_> it appears to be working now
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> jake_: like i said, it sucks
[22:32] <ionut_> ceil420 if firefox-3.5 is already your default browser then it must be a xchat setting
[22:32] <Hydrid> ionut_:  nop they are not in the listen list of your command
[22:32] <Hydrid> so what i should do?
[22:32] <jake_> oh wait... it crashed
[22:32] <loic> bonjour
[22:32] <loic> comment supprimer vnc
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> jake_: if you have a spare windows license yuo can run a virtualbox in seamless mode, its a massive bloat for a megre browser as you will be running windows in ram as well
[22:33] <skyn3t> ActionParsnip> : same thing
[22:33] <HeckleJeckle> kimic: what version of ubuntu you using
[22:33] <diegoalberto_> what's up
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> !fr | loic
[22:33] <jake_> 4gb should cover it - i think i will just run it via VB
[22:33] <Hydrid> ionut_:  can you help me please
[22:33] <jake_> thought that wine might do the job
[22:33] <ceil420> ionut_, cheers o/
[22:33] <ionut_> Hydrid what do you use the ports to?
[22:33] <Xanavi> you can run xp with 256mb of ram....
[22:33] <ionut_> Hydrid what do you use the ports for?
[22:34] <Hydrid> ionut_:  for vsftpd tls/ssl/ftps
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> skyn3t: the build is failing
[22:34] <HeckleJeckle> Xanavi: thats the minimum requirement
[22:34] <ionut_> Hydrid I believe you must configure vsftpd to listen to other ports than 21
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> jake_: you'll need a license too as you wil need to install a full OS
 Thank you! did "type gdm" -> /usr/sbin/gdm ...will now try editing default-display-manager with it
[22:35] <ionut_> and if you already have ssh I strongly recommend using sftp since it's already included with open-ssh
[22:35] <Hydrid> ionut_:  ok lets say i configure vsftp to listen to them but isnt the online scan port see the ports open?
[22:35] <Xanavi> lol, he has 4gb, alloc 512 then, its just IE, whats he need it for, to check a site's rendering in IE?
[22:35] <skyn3t> ActionParsnip : i dont know waht to do anymore do you have any ideia how i can fix that
[22:35] <G-man> okay... i've got 9.04 installed now, and i got the nvidia x server settings to open, but it wont let me pick a resolution that is appropriate, highest i can pick is 640*480, and my 2nd monitor will not display anything I'm ready to fix this
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> skyn3t: check the readme in the extracted files
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> G-man: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display | grep product
[22:36] <ionut_> Hydrid if there isn't a server (application) listening on those ports the online scan won't be able to list the ports as connectable
[22:37] <Hydrid> aaaaaaaaaa ok :)
[22:37] <skyn3t> --->>> reading
[22:37] <MrStein> 9.04 - I installed flashplugin-installer and also have adobe-flashplugin, but firefox still claims (on youtube for example) that I have no flash plugin. What am I missing ?
[22:37] <G-man> nthony@anthony-desktop:~$ sudo lshw -C display | grep product
[22:37] <G-man> [sudo] password for anthony:
[22:37] <G-man>        product: GeForce 9800 GT
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> MrStein: uninstall both, then install flashplugin-nonfree
[22:38] <ionut_> After you have configured vsftpd to listen on those ports as well the online scan should pick them up. You can scan yourself with nmap (very useful tool)
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> G-man: ok: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[22:38] <ionut_> MrStein open a new tab in Firefox and type in about:plugins - it should tell you which plugins are loaded
[22:38] <G-man> nvidia-glx-180 is already the newest version.
[22:39] <shawndrost> hey all, apache httpd is at 2.2.13 but only 2.2.11 is available from my apt-get sources.  are there any apt-get repos that have a more recent build?
[22:39] <MrStein> !help
[22:39] <Waseem> Hello, I have a problem with my laptop, the Ubuntu OS (one a different partition) keeps freezing at random times. My dual booting vista works fine, can anyone help?
[22:39] <ionut_> you can also click on the link
[22:39] <MrStein> !msg ubottu flash
[22:39] <MrStein> ups
[22:39] <fccf> !msgthebot | MrStein
[22:39] <osotogari> @ Waseem: What do you mean freezing?
[22:39] <Waseem> also could the network/wifi drivers being used be causing the problem? as I am not connected to the net on it and it is not freezing (but i cant tell if its ok as it may freeze any time)
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> G-man: ok then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:40] <Waseem> osotogari, I mean the image on screen freeze's and no mouse or keyboard response. I have to hold power to turn it off.
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> G-man: then reboot, then run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185
[22:40] <guntbert> !latest | shawndrost
[22:41] <Waseem> I am suspecting it maybe to do with with the wifi/network drivers as its currently not freezing and I didnt connect to the internet.
[22:41] <MrStein> ActionParsnip: ubottu point me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash, which tells to install apt:flashplugin-installer?section=universe?section=multiverse  Who is wrong?
[22:41] <ionut_> Waseem what computer do you have? My Dell Inspiron 1520 use to freeze with Jaunty
[22:41] <thiebaude> MrStein, there are different ways to install it
[22:41] <osotogari> @ Waseem: Are you running anything when it happens?
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> MrStein: i recommend the flashplugin-nonfree package
[22:41] <Waseem> ionut_, I have a packard bell laptop, i had a pervious set up with ubuntu that worked but I re-installed to this nightmare :(
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> MrStein: i personally use the tar.gz manually
[22:42] <ionut_> Waseem : Do the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock flash when it freezes
[22:42] <guntbert> shawndrost: but you can search the ppas of course :-)
[22:42] <ionut_> whcih kernel are you currently using Waseem?
[22:42] <Waseem> osotogari, Its hard to tell as it really seems random, but im suspecting its to do with connecting to the internet as its still hasnt froze and no connection to the net has been established.
[22:42] <root> hello
[22:42] <guntbert> !ppa | shawndrost
[22:42] <Waseem> ionut_, I am using, 8.04 LTS
[22:42] <osotogari> @ Waseem: Wireless?
[22:42] <Guest83465> somhwre here?
[22:42] <Waseem> osotogari, yes.
[22:43] <Guest83465> bye
[22:43] <fearthenofear> So when i'm trying to setup iptables masquerade, it says this, "You should now be NATing.  You can test this by pinging an external address from one of your internal hosts." What does this mean?
[22:43] <Waseem> osotogari, ionut_ at first I thought it was badblocks but now im guessin it may be a messed up wireless driver being assigned to my hardware.
[22:43] <G-man> action
[22:43] <Waseem> cos it froze when i used the live cd aswell, but only after i connected to the internet.
[22:44] <Waseem> but it doesnt happen instantly so i dont know if it really is the wifi.
[22:44] <ionut_> Waseem when my notebook kept freezing I installed the 2.6.30 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/ and nvidia-glx 185.18.14 from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/
[22:44] <Fallenou> hey, how do you properly install kde4 in ubuntu ? without becoming kubuntu
[22:44] <prince_jammys> beagleburt: welcome. that should do it.
[22:44] <Fallenou> which is the right packet ?
[22:45] <ionut_> I also dropped the proprietary wireless driver for my broadcom 4311 card and installed the open source driver
[22:45] <Fallenou> i just wanna have kde4 and be able to chose it in gdm at start
[22:45] <shawndrost> guntbert thx, I don't understand any of that but I'm googling and I'll figure it out
[22:46] <osotogari> @ Fallenou: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[22:46] <squarepegg> I have a question for anyone who might be able to help.
[22:46] <yoyoned> !ask|squarepegg:
[22:46] <Fallenou> osotogari < it won't turn my ubuntu to kubuntu ? installing the splash and kdm and stuff ?
[22:46] <osotogari> @Fallenou: Or search for that in synptic
[22:46] <Solar_Flare> o.O
[22:47] <MrStein> it works now, thanks
[22:47] <osotogari> @ Fallenou: You should be able to choose KDE from the GDM after the install
[22:47] <fccf> Fellenou: at the login screen click options>select session>kde before logging in
[22:47] <Fallenou> yea sure
[22:47] <Waseem> how can I find out what my wifi chipset is?
[22:47] <Fallenou> so it won't affect my gnome ?
[22:47] <fccf> Waseem: lspci
[22:47] <Fallenou> and my splash
[22:48] <HeckleJeckle> waseem: try finding the major minor ids
[22:48] <osotogari> @ Fallenou: No it shouldnt
[22:48] <Fallenou> and won't add anything to my gnome menu ? like kde apps ?
[22:48] <Waseem> fccf, if my ubuntu is using the wrong driver will i get a wrong output from that command?
[22:48] <HeckleJeckle> wasseem: not sure if lspci will lsit it
[22:48] <prince_jammys> Fallenou: yes, it will entries to the menus.
[22:48] <Fallenou> ok
[22:48] <prince_jammys> *add entries
[22:48] <fccf> Waseem: no, that command shows the hardware that is connected to the PCI bus
[22:48] <Fallenou> i guess i have no choice for that
[22:48] <Fallenou> thank you
[22:49] <Waseem> fccf, thanks ill try it.
[22:49] <Kuba> Hi! Which package should i install to produce simple latex documents?
[22:49] <squarepegg> I recently attempted to update my dchp-client (version 3.0) according to http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-811-1.  (Why I didn't just uset he update-manager, I don't know.)  In any case, I certainly did something incorrectly because I cannot now connect to the internet.  I tried to resolve this by using the "Network" tool within the "Administration" menu -- which executes /usr/bin/network-admin -- but it returns with an error: "Yo
[22:50] <lifesengine> If I recall, there's an infamous book out there that the users in this chat unanimously conclude to be "the best" guide for new users trying to understand what ubuntu is all about (ie: terminal functions etc)
[22:50] <lifesengine> was it the one by Sobell?
[22:50] <Waseem> how can I find out what driver is being used for what hardware?
[22:50] <lifesengine> A practical guide to linux?
[22:50] <squarepegg> I tried accessing the /usr/bin/network-admin file in order to figure out what file it's unable to access, in the naive hope that I could temporarily chmod the target file until I found a better fix, but couldn't figure it out.  ..Any advice?
[22:51] <Aijse> is 9.10 a beta release?
[22:51] <osotogari> @ Waseem: run sudo lshw
[22:51] <ionut_> Aijse Alpha 5 - Released September 3rd, 2009
[22:51] <ionut_> not beta yet
[22:51] <Aijse> thnx
[22:52] <ionut_> you're welcome :)
[22:52] <Aijse> think the Amarok is gonna be alot better
[22:52] <hacknslash> popey, do u like my mini 9
[22:52] <anthony> what is proper command to run xconfig as admin
[22:52] <fccf> !+1 | Aijse
[22:52] <fccf> !karmic | Aijse
[22:53] <Aijse> Good a month I can still bear I think
[22:53] <squarepegg> I recently attempted to update my dchp-client (version 3.0) according to http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-811-1.  (Why I didn't just uset he update-manager, I don't know.)  In any case, I certainly did something incorrectly because I cannot now connect to the internet.  I tried to resolve this by using
[22:53] <xover> what do i use for remotely connecting to another linux machine for viewing a users desktop?
[22:53] <squarepegg> I cannot connect to the internet, after attempting to update vulnerable dchp-client version 3.0.  The "Network" tool within the "Administration" menu -- which executes /usr/bin/network-admin -- returns with an error: "You are not allowed to access the system configuration".  What file is it trying to access?  How do I fix this?
[22:53] <Aijse> xover , VNC?
[22:54] <ionut_> personally I won't change to Karmic since I like pidgin more than empathy (I don't wnat to start a empathy vs pidgin discussion here), but I will upgrade my kernel and nvidia drivers from time to time
[22:54] <Solar_Flare> Is there a way to keep the Janitor from deleting my truecrypt packages?
[22:54] <Aijse> xover, ubuntu has the Remote Desktop Viewer
[22:54] <ionut_> xover VNC (Server and Viewer)
[22:54] <Guest71307> wow the guy that was helping me isn't here anymore
[22:54] <Guest71307> thats happened to me like eight times
[22:54] <lifesengine> ionut: is karmic just a completely revamped ubuntu?
[22:54] <Bluey> hey gman
[22:54] <G-man> hey
[22:55] <Aijse> lifesengine, no it ll just have updated apps
[22:55] <danbhfive1> ionut_: pidgin will be supported in karmic
[22:55] <Aijse> lifesengine, and therefore be more fancy and less stable
[22:55] <Casandrax> ionut_: Empathy is back online, that discussion is not required ;)
[22:55] <G-man> okay... well i redid apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[22:55] <xover> what is the remote desktop viewer? which protocol does that use
[22:55] <G-man> i have that now, i cant open xserver
[22:56] <xover> VNC is too unstable for me
[22:56] <Waseem> "There are known issues with the RaLink RT2561/RT61 driver (rt61pci) that causes hard lockups on hardy 8.04.1 for some people."
[22:56] <osotogari> @ xover: what are you remoting on to?
[22:56] <Waseem> OMG I hope thats my fix!
[22:56] <xover> to another linux machine
[22:56] <xover> I want to see the desktop as is
[22:56] <lstarnes> Waseem: I haven't had any issues with that driver
[22:56] <xover> other than vnc what are my optionso pleaese?
[22:57] <Waseem> lstarnes, yes its apparently a problem for some but works with others.
[22:57] <Aijse> xover, you could use ssh
[22:57] <ionut_> xover why din;t you use ssh. Anyway VNC works really well for me. I use TightVNC client in WINE
[22:57] <Waseem> lstarnes, like i said it worked well in a set up i had before but on reisntall its been a nightmare.
[22:57] <osotogari> @ xover: x forwarding over ssh
[22:57] <G-man> how can i get NVIDIA X Server Settings to work properly
[22:57] <Waseem> now the only problem is how to install the new driver without having access to the net.
[22:57] <Bluey> gman what are you trying to do?
[22:57] <Waseem> anyone offer any help?
[22:57] <osotogari> run it as sudo G-man
[22:57] <G-man> what is the cmd
[22:58] <xover> I cant X forward an entire desktop can I????
[22:58] <ionut_> nvidia-settings?
[22:58] <osotogari> sudo nvidia-settings
[22:58] <lstarnes> xover: no
[22:58] <xover> SSH? what? I need to see the entire desktop!!!!~
[22:58] <G-man> ou do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[22:58] <lstarnes> xover: then you need vnc
[22:58] <BlackDalek> what happened to the lyrics tab in Rhythmbox? it's vanished.. why?
[22:58] <fccf> Waseem: did you install using an ubuntu 8.04.1 disk or the newest 8.04.3 which might have some fixes incorporated
[22:58] <lstarnes> xover: or maybe rdp, but I think vnc has better support
[22:59] <ionut_> xover can you explain what problems you had with VNC?
[22:59] <lstarnes> xover: I have also heard of freenx, but I haven't tried it
[22:59] <Waseem> fccf, i used 8.04.3
[22:59] <Casandrax> ionut_: ssh -XC -l Username Hostname:Port (Then start the graphical applications )
[22:59] <shawndrost> hey all, apache httpd is at 2.2.13 but only 2.2.11 is available from my apt-get sources, including backports.  are there any apt-get repos (maybe a ppa) that have a more recent build?
[22:59] <fccf> Waseem: just checking
[22:59] <squarepegg> not my lucky day i guess
[22:59] <G-man> It is still not letting me open
[22:59] <Waseem> fccf, no worries, its relieving to know im not alone :)
[23:00] <G-man> i typed sudo nvidia-settings, as well as sudo nvidia-xconfig
[23:00] <G-man> to no avail
[23:00] <osotogari> @G-man: are you utilising the nvidia driver?
[23:00] <mengu_> hi everyone. i'm having issues for flash on firefox.
[23:00] <G-man> no
[23:01] <mengu_> why would this happen?
[23:01] <danbhfive1> shawndrost: software typically only gets updated with the bi-yearly releases
[23:01] <G-man> it says taht im not, but when i got to hardware devices, its not in the list
[23:01] <Bluey> mengu - 32 or 64 bit platform?
[23:01] <losher> shawndrost: if google doesn't turn up any repos, the answer is no. You would need to download the unix source from the web site & compile & install it yourself. This could be range in difficulty from utterly trivial to completely impossible, depending on your experience and what shape the source code is in...
[23:01] <Casandrax> Waseem: modem port/remote dialup ?
[23:01] <G-man> hardware drivers* sorry
[23:02] <xover> ionut_: problems include windows freezing, lack of ability to use shift key for multiple selections.
[23:02] <Waseem> Casandrax, not sure what your asking, but I use wifi to connect to the internet with the laptop.
[23:02] <mengu_> Bluey: 32bit and ubuntu 9.04
[23:02] <xover> random disconnects
[23:02] <unr3a1> hey all
[23:02] <BlackDalek> what happened to the lyrics tab in Rhythmbox? it's vanished.. why?
[23:02] <osotogari> @G-man: Did you install the nvidia driver?
[23:02] <unr3a1> what file is it in Ubuntu that controls the hostname and DNS settings?
[23:02] <Casandrax> Waseem: Then its not advanced enough. Buy a new one
[23:02] <Waseem> Casandrax, err what?
[23:02] <ionut_> xover try TightVNC client in WINE
[23:02] <danbhfive1> unr3a1: hosts?
[23:02] <Bluey> mengu -- I have had some issues with flash but I run 64 bit - sometimes closing and re-opening ff will fix the problem - or you can try the "windows magic trick" -
[23:02] <G-man> yes i typed sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[23:02] <G-man> i downloaded that already
[23:03] <unr3a1> danbhfive1, yea
[23:03] <osotogari> @unr3a1: /etc/hosts
[23:03] <guntbert> Casandrax: please stay helpful
[23:03] <unr3a1> kk
[23:03] <unr3a1> ty
[23:03] <losher> Bluey: the windows magic trick?
[23:03] <Bluey> losher -- logoff/log back in
[23:03] <Casandrax> Waseem: I thought you wanted to bring downed boxes to life with modem callbacks. Just get a new wireless router then
[23:03] <Michalxo> BlackDalek, well.. tehre is only a window :-/ no tab
[23:03] <losher> Bluey: oh, right...
[23:03] <osotogari> Why not use the restricted drivers dialog?
[23:03] <Bluey> the fixes a multitude of problems sometimes
[23:03] <Waseem> Casandrax, I think you have me confused with someone else's request.
[23:04] <G-man> how do i install the driver?
[23:04] <Bluey> losher and it really costs nothing....
[23:04] <Casandrax> Waseem: No
[23:04] <osotogari> System > Administraton > Restricted Drivers
[23:04] <archman> i have a problem, i'm using xfce on jaunty, and now my screen goes black after 20secs. wtf?
[23:04] <ceil420> $ gnome-terminal
[23:04] <ceil420> Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.
[23:04] <ceil420> ^ how do i fix that?
[23:04] <unr3a1> I am trying to remember
[23:05] <ceil420> (xterm is hideous and weak)
[23:05] <BlackDalek> Michalxo, there used to be a tab for lryics when you viewed properties of a song in Rhythmbox - now it is gone
[23:05] <Casandrax> Waseem: Youll see this later on when you get to work on a bit bigger systems. Have fun!
[23:05] <G-man> i dont have a restricted drivers tab
[23:05] <G-man> under system/admin
[23:05] <Waseem> Casandrax, you have me mixed up with someone else.
[23:05] <Casandrax> Waseem: Youbot
[23:05] <Bluey> gman - I've had little luck trying to set the nvidia x server settings
[23:06] <archman> is there a xfce support channel?
[23:06] <unr3a1> osotogari, danbhfive1, there was a way that I was able to set ubuntu to automatically over write my hosts file so I could always have custom dns servers setup.  but I do not remember how I did it, as it was quite a while ago.  do either of you know?
[23:06] <Waseem> Casandrax, I have a laptop which keeps freezing with ubuntu..
[23:06] <Circs> Can some recommend a partition manager that is not gparted, it does not work on my system
[23:06] <Waseem> and im trying to fix that.
[23:06] <Michalxo> BlackDalek, well.. go to View -> Song lyrics  // ctrl + L
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> Circs: fdisk, cfdisk
[23:06] <Casandrax> Waseem: PCMCIA card ?
[23:06] <losher> Circs: fdisk is probably your next best choice...
[23:06] <G-man> maybe i should just uninstall/reinstall xubuntu?
[23:06] <danbhfive1> unr3a1: I think hosts is the wrong place for DNS servers
[23:06] <SilAmeth> can someone tell me where to individually download packes from?
[23:06] <G-man> i remember it working with xubuntu
[23:06] <osotogari> @ unr3a1: no idea dude, but id be interested to know how as well
[23:06] <wcGary83> I am having the same trouble with Xserver resolution!
[23:07] <Waseem> Casandrax, sorry i dont think your a real person, you dont seem to be making any sense to me.
[23:07] <Casandrax> Waseem: Get an usb wireless adapter that works with linux
[23:07] <Bluey> gman - does gnome come up?
[23:07] <BlackDalek> Michalxo, that option no longer exists either.. it is greyed out now.
[23:07] <Aijse1> SilAmeth, you could use Synaptic
[23:07] <G-man> what do you mean does it come up
[23:07] <wcGary83> It will just not save the settings upon restart!
[23:07] <shawndrost> danbhfive1 losher thanks
[23:07] <G-man> where do i click gnome at?
[23:07] <Bluey> gman - do you get a login screen?
[23:07] <SilAmeth> have to get for a computer that is offline
[23:07] <G-man> Yes
[23:07] <mengu_> so any other recommendations for my flash problem?
[23:07] <mengu_> i cannot watch youtube, cannot read scribd.
[23:07] <G-man> the resolution was actually decent, when i typed username/password
[23:08] <danbhfive1> unr3a1: I thought resolv.conf was the place for that.  The only thing I know is how to setup DNS caching on a PC
[23:08] <G-man> but when i log in , it gets gigantic
[23:08] <ceil420> whenever i try to run gnome-terminal, i get the error message "Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.". How do I fix this?
[23:08] <osotogari> If I have a box here on my network running ubuntu can I block it accessing the interenet?
[23:08] <SilAmeth> tried synaptic but does not say where it downloaded to
[23:08] <Bluey> gman -- okay hang on privite message ok?
[23:08] <G-man> okay
[23:08] <losher> unr3a1: do you mean overwrite /etc/resolv.conf. That's usually how dhcp manages dns service...
[23:08] <G-man> thank you so much
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> mengu_: uninstal all flash plugins, nicluding gnash and swfdec
[23:08] <unr3a1> danbhfive1, osotogari, maybe not.  I had the ubuntu install on my old hard drive setup that way, because a router I frequently connect to has a default domain resolution setting of www.search.net which is a very annoying malware site.
[23:08] <Michalxo> BlackDalek, well.. it works for me in KArmic, latest updates
[23:08] <unr3a1> losher, yes... I want to overwrite the resolv.conf at every startup
[23:09] <Casandrax> Waseem: Im sorry, i think we began at different levels of thought. Me thinking you wanted ISP stuff and you misinterpreted my replies. USB will be much better as PCMCIA is going away and you can move the usb thing to newer computers etc.
[23:09] <unr3a1> with a custom one.
[23:09] <Michalxo> BlackDalek, try googling a bit.. maybe you'll get some hits
[23:09] <mgv1> hello, how can i install graphic driver so the picture will be much better?
[23:09] <losher> unr3a1: are you using dhcp?
[23:09] <unr3a1> yes
[23:09] <SilAmeth> Aijsel did you catch that
[23:09] <rubyiris> hello, I'm having problems with running the ubuntu trial from the cd. I'm trying to dual-boot to a laptop. I read some thing about users having no problems using the desktop os with laptop computers
[23:09] <rubyiris> can someone help?
[23:09] <archman> anyone? i need some help!
[23:09] <unr3a1> losher, yes, I use DHCP, but I want to overwrite specifically the DNS settings of the resolv.conf file
[23:10] <unr3a1> losher, it was some startup thing I did.
[23:10] <Waseem> Casandrax, I see, I understand what your saying now. However I have had the wifi adaptor work before and would like to attempt to fix it before purchasing a wifi usb adaptor.
[23:10] <Aijse1> SilAmeth, I did but im afraid I don't have a clue how to do it without internet connection
[23:10] <mengu_> ActionParsnip: and then?
[23:10] <unr3a1> losher, so that every time I booted up, the resolv.conf and /etc/hosts got overwritten with customized files.
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> mengu_: run: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[23:10] <SilAmeth> archman
[23:10] <SilAmeth> could you help please
[23:11] <unr3a1> well, by overwriting the resolv.conf file, it automatically adjusts the hosts file if I am remembering correctly.
[23:11] <osotogari> @ unr3a1:  you could write a script to do it
[23:11] <archman> SilAmeth, LOL
[23:11] <xover> has anyone used freenx before?
[23:11] <unr3a1> osotogari, yea, but I do not remember the script or where it would be in the old filesystem
[23:11] <xover> i keep getting authentication failed
[23:11] <archman> SilAmeth, can you help ?:D
[23:11] <unr3a1> if I could find it, I could just copy it over
[23:11] <Waseem> btw what is the linux kernal?
[23:11] <mengu_> ActionParsnip: i searched for flash on package manager. only swfdec-mozilla and libswfdec-0.8.0 is installed
[23:11] <mengu_> ActionParsnip: i'm removing them and doing what you've said.
[23:12] <unr3a1> osotogari, where would I have to put a script like that?
[23:12] <ctmjr> !kernel | Waseem
[23:12] <archman> how to see what i last updated via synaptics?
[23:12] <SilAmeth> I am trying to download a couple of packages to put on a comp that has no internet connection
[23:12] <Aijse1> SilAmeth, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/offline.html
[23:12] <tokam1> Hi I want to install ubuntu here, is it possible to tell ubuntu to install grub on sda1 and root on sda4? sda4 hasn't the id 83 it has id  5 (extended partition) would it work? home should be sda5
[23:12] <tokam1> swap is sda2 can i tell this all to ubuntu, or have i to rewrite the fstab?
[23:12] <Casandrax> Waseem: Check the messages / syslog and see if there are troubles. Gather as much info/fact as you can and talk to someone with knowledge. If knowledge and you feels its a bug then file a bug report, possibly to the kernel mailinglists. Cant help you more then this atm.
[23:12] <kahen> Waseem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KERNAL
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> mengu_: uninstall that and install the nonfree
[23:12] <tokam1> I come from gentoo, I don't know how to install linux from gui :D
[23:12] <mgv1> hello, how can i install graphic driver so the picture will be much better?
[23:12] <Waseem> thanks everyone.
[23:13] <Casandrax> Np
[23:13] <mengu_> ActionParsnip: i got
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> tokam1: then use alternative cd
[23:13] <mengu_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[23:13] <mengu_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[23:13] <unr3a1> osotogari, do you know?
[23:13] <mengu_> lol
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> mengu_: you need to close synaptic
[23:13] <mengu_> i closed the package manager
[23:13] <tokam1> ActionParsnip: can't I use the normal cd?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> mengu_: hilarious
[23:13] <tokam1> ActionParsnip: what's the diffeence on the alternative cd
[23:13] <Waseem> how can someone update the kernal? and how can i not update it when updating stuff?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> tokam1: if you want, both are ok
[23:13] <osotogari> @ unr3a1: hmmm, ineresting. maybe have a read of this http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1775-resolv-conf-is-overwritten-on-reboot/
[23:13] <losher> unr3a1: I think it's supposed to be done via an /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks script. See man dhclient-script
[23:13] <Bluey> action the alternative cd is a text based install
[23:13] <GuidMorrow> are you sure these viruses/spyware won't infect linux/unix
[23:14] <Bluey> action for machines that hover about 256 meg of ram
[23:14] <mgv1> hello, how can i install graphic driver so the picture will be much better?
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> tokam1: desktop lets you try it live, the alternate just installs in in a text environment
[23:14] <Casandrax> GuidMorrow: Yes'
[23:14] <unr3a1> alright
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> mengu_: you cannot have synaptic open AND use apt-get
[23:14] <ctmjr> mgv1: what graphic card?
[23:14] <GuidMorrow> well for one thing, how did someone get my email address
[23:14] <mengu_> thanks, i just got that :P
[23:15] <tokam1> ActionParsnip: can i write the config files my self there?
[23:15] <tokam1> the grub.conf and so on..
[23:15] <losher> GuidMorrow: I asked you to paste the email + headers. Did you ever do that?
[23:15] <osotogari> @ unr3a1: is that something like you were looking for?
[23:15] <mgv1> ctmjr: i don't know this is an portable pc
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> tokam1: config files for what?
[23:15] <GuidMorrow> whose email
[23:16] <Casandrax> GuidMorrow: Spamgatherers, or your friends windows computer was infected with an email harvester "virus"-
[23:16] <Waseem> hey guys is each version of ubuntu using an updated kernal?
[23:16] <Waseem> or a new kernal
[23:16] <Casandrax> yes, mostly
[23:16] <losher> GuidMorrow: wasn't it you who said you'd received an email threatening to infect your machine?
[23:16] <Waseem> so if i was to be using one and said "i updated the kernal" would that mean i updated my ubuntu OS?
[23:16] <unr3a1> osotogari, well, that keeps it from being overwritten, and that works for the resolv.conf file, but I if I remember correctly, the /etc/hosts file still gets overwritten by the DHCP server, which would still effect the local loopback to look at www.search.net
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> Waseem: they use a different revision of the kernel
[23:16] <unr3a1> osotogari, that is similar though, yes, it is a setting in a file somewhere
[23:16] <ctmjr> mgv1: type this in a terminal lspci | grep -i vga
[23:16] <unr3a1> you know what...
[23:16] <Casandrax> losher: I think it was.
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> Waseem: the kernel is what makes ubuntu, linux. the kernel IS linux, the stuff around it is the distribution
[23:17] <unr3a1> I think it has something to do with what losher pointed to... dhcp3
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> Waseem: mandriva uses the same linux kernel, just has different apps around it
[23:17] <Casandrax> ActionParsnip: glibc and gcc etc etc is equally important.
[23:17] <Waseem> i see, i dont quite understand but hopefully i will eventually.
[23:18] <BlackDalek> My rhythmbox lyrics plugin seems to be broken.. Also, I've noticed the "jump to playing song" option has also been greyed out.
[23:18] <osotogari> unr3a1: so you dont want your hosts file to be over written?
[23:18] <mgv1> ctmjr: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[23:18] <GuidMorrow> there is a windows machine on this wireless network, I just scanned it for spyware, now why would it still be keylogging stuff
[23:18] <losher> Casandrax: funny how he seems to disappear whenever you ask for details...
[23:18] <unr3a1> thats it.....
[23:18] <osotogari> unr3a1: try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372420
[23:18] <unr3a1> osotogari, losher, its the dhclient.conf file in /etc/dhcp3
[23:18] <GuidMorrow> personally nobody should be asking for details unless ...
[23:19] <ctmjr> mgv1: and what ubuntu are you using
[23:19] <GuidMorrow> YOU'RE A SPAMMER!
[23:19] <unr3a1> osotogari, losher, now i remember.  you change the settings in that to pull the DHCP server for certain information, but then generate its own for other settings such as DNS, and local loopback.
[23:19] <losher> GuidMorrow: let's just be careful who's calling whom a spammer, ok?
[23:19] <Casandrax> losher: they are unable, they are different those softers. not utilizing their brains.
[23:19] <osotogari> @ unr3al: excellent stuff.
[23:19] <Casandrax> ;)
[23:20] <LjL> GuidMorrow: or a troll
[23:20] <unr3a1> osotogari, losher, thank you both.
[23:20] <jiffe> is it possible to upgrade 8.04 to 9.04?
[23:20] <losher> unr3a1: there's a supersede option you can use in dhclient.conf, presumably it will override the dns setting...
[23:20] <unr3a1> osotogari, losher, thats awesome.  now I dont have to worry about www.search.net anymore... YAY
[23:20] <unr3a1> losher, yea, I just need to copy the dhclient.conf file from my old ubuntu filesystem
[23:20] <cognitiaclaeves> I get a dialog that 'authentication required by wireless network' ... how do I make it remember the password I have set?
[23:20] <osotogari> @ unr3al: thats cool. Well done :)
[23:20] <losher> jiffe: you can. It's barely worth it, in my opinion...
[23:21] <unr3a1> losher, I dont have to actually change anything.  just overwrite my current file.
[23:21] <mgv1> ctmjr: 9.04 :-)
[23:21] <GuidMorrow> I had run malwarebytes, spybot, and windows defender and they didn't find anything keylogger
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> jiffe: you will need to upgrade to 8.10 first
[23:21] <GuidMorrow> should I have run something else on that windows box
[23:21] <leonardo> have adobe reader for 64bits
[23:21] <jiffe> how do you choose what to upgrade to?
[23:21] <jiffe> this is on server so no gui
[23:21] <ldlework> Ubuntu sucks! Windows for life! Microsoft owns you all!
[23:21] <unr3a1> osotogari, yes, its awesome, and i thank you for your help.  of course, I just realized that this conf file does not run at startup, it runs when dhclient pulls DHCP for info.
[23:21] <Circs> I cannot partition my MicroSDHC card with fdisk or gparted please help me
[23:21] <Aijse1> GuidMorrow, yes a windows eraser
[23:21] <GuidMorrow> LOL WINDOWS USER
[23:21] <losher> unr3a1: I'd like to see your dhclient.conf to see how it's done. Wanna paste it?
[23:21] <guntbert> GuidMorrow: this is the ubuntu support channel, please take your windows questions elswhere
[23:21] <ldlework> ^.^
[23:21] <unr3a1> losher absolutely.
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | jiffe

[23:22] <ldlework> Lol
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> jiffe: there is a server upgrade method outlayd too

[23:23] <mgv1> ctmjr: so there isn't a simple driver?
[23:23] <GuidMorrow> but I can't with all these viruses running loose

[23:23] <mengu_> lol
[23:23] <mengu_> however, i didn't install anything for flash :)
[23:23] <GuidMorrow> ... ?
[23:23] <fbc-mx> ActionParsnip, You have helped me before.  Could you take a look at my problem?  It's an easy fix, I just can't remember the command for the life of me.

[23:24] <Strife89> Hello all, I have a serious problem. On occasion, when I put Ubuntu into Suspend mode on my Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5097, the laptop refuses to fully come out of Suspend. The CD drive and the fans spin up, but that's it. The screen and the hard drives show no activity, and I have to resort to hard resetting my laptop.
[23:24] <fbc-mx> ActionParsnip, How do I get my nautilus to run again? My nautilus stopped working, so I opened a terminal window and type nautilus and got it back, but when I close the terminal window  nautilus disappears too. How do I get it to stay?
[23:24] <rubyiris> I'm having problems installing, or even just using the trial version of ubuntu from an iso i created. I'm using the most current desktop version of ubuntu on a laptop, which some aquaintences of mine haven't had any problems with.
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> fbc-mx: press alt+f2 and use that
[23:24] <unr3a1> losher, osotogari, http://pastebin.com/m4a77995e
[23:24] <assumedalive> Strife89: probably a kernel bug, better report it to the kernel devs
[23:25] <fbc-mx> ActionParsnip, ahh that easy huh
[23:25] <VCoolio> fbc-mx: nautilus &   to run in background
[23:25] <Strife89> Here is the issue at hand: the Suspend problem has happened again, but this time, the same symptoms occur when I try to boot my laptop.
[23:25] <rubyiris> i get to where it asks me what language to use, and what option to select
[23:25] <losher> jiffe: on a server, I would stick to 8.04 LTS. It's supported which means it still gets security fixes etc. but no new features. This makes is very stable & reliable, just what you want on a server. Upgrading for no reason is pointless...
[23:25] <Themi> Just did an installon Ubuntu 9.04 and have an Nvidia Graphics card. How do I make two monitors work on Ubuntu
[23:25] <unr3a1> losher, osotogari, take note of lines 19 and 20.  I tell the dhclient to force those settings
[23:25] <guntbert> rubyiris: did you check if the iso was good before burning?
[23:25] <cognitiaclaeves> How can I see what nameservers are in use?
[23:25] <assumedalive> Strife89: explain what happens when you try and boot up
[23:25] <ctmjr> mgv1: i am not too upto date on intel drivers read the link the bot sent you or ask your question again include as much info as you can someone in here might be able to hep you
[23:25] <rubyiris> how do i do that?
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> Themi: whaty is the output of: sudo lshw -C display | grep product
[23:25] <losher> unr3a1: excellent, I see it...
[23:25] <Casandrax> GuidMorrow: Maybe someone was taking a peak at your HD contents :) -> http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2009/Sep/0034.html (bork bork broken win dos)
[23:26] <guntbert> !md5 | rubyiris that is the way
[23:26] <Themi> I am a newbie... Can you please elaborate - help me through the entire process?
[23:26] <mgv1> ctmjr: ok, see you
[23:26] <Strife89> assumedalive: The fans whir and the CD drive spins up, but that's all. The screen doesn't turn on (not even the backlight) and the hard drive shows no activity.
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> Themi: its a terminal command
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> !terminal | Themi
[23:26] <assumedalive> Strife89: if it does that after a cold boot that's definitely a hardware issue and nothing to do with ubuntu
[23:26] <unr3a1> losher, osotogari, then the subsequent lines request all the info that is listed from the DHCP server and only that info.  so my DNS server is always set to OpenDNS and my domain name is always home.net.
[23:26] <osotogari> @ unr3a1: thanks for that
[23:26] <Themi> I have the terminal open
[23:27] <Strife89> assumedalive: This has happened once before, but it cleared itself up and booted normally after three tries.
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Themi: paste the command in and press enter
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Themi: whats it say?
[23:27] <Strife89> assumedalive: My question is whether Ubuntu might have a conflict with my BIOS.
[23:27] <Themi> which command actionparsnip?
[23:27] <unr3a1> that way when I am at work, connected to the SMC router that the tier 3 employees can use to get online with personal laptops, my local loopback doesnt get set to www.search.net.
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Themi: scroll up
[23:27] <G-man> how do i install my nvidia-glx-180 driver?
[23:27] <assumedalive> Strife89: its possible actually, have you tested suspend with windows?
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Themi: sudo lshw -C display | grep product
[23:28] <rubyiris> i dont think its the iso.. let me type out the errors i get. hold on.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> G-man: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[23:28] <unr3a1> losher, osotogari, good times, no?
[23:28] <Themi> GeForce9800 GTX+
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> Themi: ok great :D
[23:28] <osotogari> @ unr3al: good craic alright
[23:28] <unr3a1> losher, osotogari, thank you both for the help.  you guys really helped me remember what I did last time.  :)
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> Themi: and what is the output of: lsb_release -c
[23:29] <unr3a1> osotogari, craic?
[23:29] <guntbert> rubyiris: you can make a check from the CD menu too, but please check the iso first
[23:29] <rubyiris> i get error 2.949971 pci 000 03 00.0 : unsupported PM cap regs version (7)
[23:29] <Themi> Codename Jaunty
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> Themi: perfect, doing well
[23:29] <wcGary83> Why does my computer freeze when I shut down or restart gdm? (it must be related to x server)
[23:29] <rubyiris> i get a second erorr, but it goes to the next screen too quickly for me to type it out
[23:29] <osotogari> @ unr3a1: irish word for fun
[23:29] <guntbert> !who | rubyiris please check the iso
[23:29] <Casandrax> losher: Yep, a windows-only guy that was *snickers*
[23:30] <unr3a1> osotogari, ah... well, thank you again
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> Themi: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[23:30] <unr3a1> losher, thank you again
[23:30] <rubyiris> I don't think the isothe problem. it's stating that its having problems with my hardware
[23:30] <Strife1989> assumedalive: Cue power failure.
[23:30] <Themi> nvidia-glx-180 is already the newest version.
[23:31] <guntbert> rubyiris: don't assume, check - thats not so hard is it?
[23:31] <assumedalive> Strife1989: lol, you on battery or some shit now?
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> Themi: ok then run: gksudo nvidia-settings

[23:31] <ActionParsnip> Themi: does it say "no nvidia driver loaded" or similar?
[23:31] <Aijse1> Good night, let tomorrow be a day full off ...
[23:31] <Themi> no, it is working
[23:31] <Strife1989> assumedalive: No, it was a brownout, and I'm on a desktop at the moment.
[23:31] <rubyiris> ly, it looks like it is hard. i checked the links, and that's definitely not simple to check..
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> Themi: no error messages?
[23:32] <Themi> no
[23:32] <assumedalive> Strife1989: ah ok, well anyway, yeah, test with windows, if the same shit happens its a hardware issue, if its a ubuntu specific thing better report it to the kernel devs
