[00:00] <asker> I have a file called ratings, but it shows copy of rating to me in the taskbar of the pdf viewer.
[00:00] <sageb1> asker, like changing "thistitle.pdf" to "a fine title.pdf"?
[00:01] <kauer> in bash, is there a standard way to get the PID of the last-run command? I want to save the PID so that I can terminate it later. There may be multiple instances of this program running, and I not all should be terminated, just the one that this script started.
[00:01] <asker> sageb1: no... i am thinking of document title in the meta data.
[00:01] <silent_> asker: you'd need an application
[00:01] <sageb1> asker, it's more than a pdf?
[00:01] <tmcfulton> Let me try again
[00:01] <tmcfulton> I may have done it wrong the first time
[00:01] <sageb1> tmcfulton, please do
[00:01] <ygorabreu_br_spa> billyguitarhero:that one works? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[00:01] <asker> silent_: i want to use pdfedit for my purpose, but do not know how to realize that.
[00:01] <ethand__> billyl:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy?highlight=%28%28WifiDocs%7CDriver%7CNdiswrapper%29%29
[00:02] <billyguitarhero> gimme a while to do it
[00:02] <silent_> asker: I'm not familiar with the program
[00:02] <billyguitarhero> oh one more important thing.. im running 64 bit
[00:02] <kauer> it looks like $! would work...
[00:02] <mDemocritus> soundray: thanks for the effort though
[00:03] <asathoor> I cannot register my pgp key in launchpad
[00:03] <asker> sageb1: what do you mean by that?
[00:03] <zathras_laptop> anyway i can get round apt-get complaining about a package without a source .deb?
[00:03] <ygorabreu_br_spa> billyguitarhero:ok..because the restricted driver for broadcom usually dont work for all..4sure
[00:03] <asathoor> how can I check the keyserver of ubuntu?
[00:03] <dataangel> grrr ... I can not execute Handbreak after extracting the executbale
[00:04] <soundray> kauer: I think $$ is the standard way to get the PID
[00:04] <sageb1> asker, ok, i don't understand
[00:04] <jerbear> can i take a quick survey? what desktop environment do you guys prefer? (gnome, kde, etc.)
[00:04] <billyguitarhero> i don't have an iftab file...
[00:04] <dataangel> i have done chmod 777 Handbreakcli or whatever
[00:04] <sageb1> dataangel, ok we need to use the ffmpeg method then
[00:04] <billyguitarhero> ygorabreu_br_spa: i don't have the iftab file.. what do i do?
[00:04] <asathoor> !openpgp ket
[00:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openpgp ket - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:04] <dataangel> it wont even do the command line completion in the terminal
[00:04] <soundray> jerbear: no surveys here please -- go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:04] <asathoor> !pgp-key
[00:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pgp-key - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:04] <silent_> asker: my god... I just installed the application... I see what you mean, good luck
[00:05] <asathoor> !pgpkey
[00:05] <dataangel> When i type Hand (tab)
[00:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pgpkey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:05] <dataangel> hmmmm.
[00:05] <dataangel> ffmpeg
[00:05] <jerbear> soundray: how is that off topic?
[00:05] <asker> sageb1: when you see a pdf file. it has a certain name. i can change that easily. but if you open that file and click on properties, you see TITLE. I want to change that.
[00:05] <asathoor> !gpg
[00:05] <ubotu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts
[00:05] <dataangel> i think i installed that today ...
[00:05] <soundray> jerbear: this is a support channel.
[00:05] <billyguitarhero> why dont i have an iftab file?
[00:05] <ygorabreu_br_spa> [billyguitarhero]: yeah well..with me, actually i dont have it either..but its going to work anyway
[00:05] <billyguitarhero> oh
[00:05] <billyguitarhero> okay
[00:05] <billyguitarhero> thanks
[00:06] <tmcfulton> sageb1: it didn't work
[00:06] <sageb1> dataangel: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DVD_to_MP4
[00:06] <kauer> soundray: Thanks, but $$ is the PID of the currently executing shell. The more I read about $! the more I'm convinced I'm doing something wrong :-) it looks like exactly what I want.
[00:06] <asker> does no one know how to change metadata of pdfs (properties)?
[00:07] <ygorabreu_br_spa> [billyguitarhero]: cat /etc/iftab | grep wlan0 .. thats what u need to do right? well..if this tutorial work for u..ull get connected...but like me, ur wifi connection will be eth1 ..
[00:07] <psycoshot> hey, im repartioning , I want one windows one linux and another linux, what types do I use. i.e: ext3 ext2 fat16 fat 32
[00:07] <shawn__> whats up guys
[00:07] <Fryguy--> psycoshot: ntfs for windows, and ext3 or reiserfs for linux (and swap for swap partition, which can be shared across linux installs
[00:07] <soundray> asker: try pdftk -- it can do all sorts of things to pdfs
[00:07] <asker> does no one know how to change metadata of pdfs (properties) or just the TITLE of a file?
[00:08] <ygorabreu_br_spa> billyguitarhero:but dont worry..cuz im using for 5months gutsy without problems with my wifi.
[00:08] <shawn__> how do i install my ati card without conflicting with my onboard graphics
[00:08] <asker> soundray: have it got a GUI?
[00:08] <shawn__> last time i installed both the drivers it crashed my ubuntu
[00:08] <soundray> asker: no
[00:08] <shawn__> does anyone know
[00:08] <cameodemon> wheres the bash file under ubuntu for autostarting apps, im not talking about that gnome app under sys > prefs, id like to know if theres a file
[00:09] <shawn__> i havent installed the package for the onboard drivers yet though
[00:09] <psycoshot> Fryguy: I dont have ntfs option :S is that because linux doesnt partion that?
[00:09] <Fryguy--> shawn__: if you want to switch video cards on an already installed system, you'll probably have to edit xorg.conf yourself to get a somewhat sane environment
[00:09] <Fryguy--> psycoshot: it does
[00:09] <shawn__> can ati amd graphics cards be ran on ubuntu
[00:09] <shawn__> ?
[00:09] <Fryguy--> psycoshot: windows should already be installed
[00:09] <Fryguy--> shawn__: of course
[00:10] <shawn__> ok
[00:10] <shawn__> is there a way to disable my onboard graphics
[00:10] <shawn__> in ubuntu
[00:10] <mDemocritus> shawn__: do it in bios if you can
[00:10] <Fryguy--> there's no need to, just configure it to use your ati card
[00:10] <psycoshot> Fryguy: Currently I have one 80gb linux partion, im reformatting the whole HD
[00:10] <shawn__> i did do it in bois
[00:10] <shawn__> and it messed up
[00:11] <Fryguy--> psycoshot: so then go and install windows, then install linux(es)
[00:11] <shawn__> i installed the ati drivers
[00:11] <shawn__> then restarted
[00:11] <mDemocritus> shawn__ how did it messup?
[00:11] <shawn__> changed my bios to pci
[00:11] <shawn__> then booted
[00:11] <psycoshot> Oh ok thank Fryguy
[00:11] <shawn__> and i got the bolank screen
[00:11] <shawn__> blank
[00:11] <shawn__> does anyone know what i did wrong?
[00:11] <xb3rt> are their any ip tools for Pidgen messenger
[00:11] <Fryguy--> shawn__: yes, you changed video cards on an already configured system and didn't make the necessary configuration changes
[00:12] <Fryguy--> xb3rt: ?
[00:12] <shawn__> ok where do i make those changes?
[00:12] <Fryguy--> xb3rt: wrong channel, join #pidgin
[00:12] <Fryguy--> shawn__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:12] <xb3rt> Fryguy--: sorry
[00:12] <xb3rt> Fryguy--: no such channel
[00:12] <shawn__> okay ill check that out
[00:12] <soundray> shawn__: boot in recovery mode and run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Select the appropriate driver and pick defaults for the rest.
[00:13] <Fryguy--> xb3rt: i just joined it and there are hundreds of people in there
[00:13] <MartianLobster> how do I tell ubuntu, to rescan for wireless networks?
[00:13] <shawn__> so what do i do
[00:13] <shawn__> dleate the configurated one and restart?
[00:13] <soundray> shawn__: boot in recovery mode and run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Select the appropriate driver and pick defaults for the rest.
[00:14] <shawn__> how do i boot in recovery
[00:14] <ygorabreu_br_spa> billyguitarhero:how's going mate?
[00:14] <visof> hello
[00:14] <visof> how can i know my monitor size?
[00:14] <soundray> shawn__: it's an option in the grub menu, the first thing you get during boot after the BIOS messages
[00:14] <Fryguy--> shawn__: reboot and select recovery on the boot menu, or just use your existing boot and switch to a virtual terminal, use a serial console, or ssh
[00:14] <visof> 1024*?
[00:14] <shawn__> it says press esc
[00:14] <Fryguy--> visof: on the manual for the monitor when you bought it
[00:14] <cameodemon> monitor size?
[00:14] <cameodemon> or resolution?
[00:15] <shawn__> thats the only option
[00:15] <cameodemon> monitor size can be measured with a tape measure or ruler
[00:15] <soundray> shawn__: hmm, let's think -- maybe you should press Esc then?
[00:15] <shawn__> lol
[00:15] <shawn__> okay
[00:15] <Fryguy--> shawn__: common sense is helpful
[00:15] <shawn__> then there are more optionS?
[00:15] <xb3rt> Fryguy--: howd you spell it
[00:15] <visof> sorry it's resolution
[00:15] <Fryguy--> xb3rt: pidgin
[00:15] <soundray> shawn__: go and check it out
[00:15] <Fryguy--> xb3rt: just like the name of the application
[00:15] <Fryguy--> why are some people so stupid, seriously :(
[00:16] <shawn__> lol
[00:16] <xb3rt> Fryguy--: I'll be damned, i spelled it wrong
[00:16] <shawn__> breb
[00:16] <soundray> Fryguy--: please be tolerant
[00:16] <shawn__> brb
[00:16] <visof> how can i know the screen resolution?
[00:17] <Fryguy--> soundray: why?  I'm not allowed to rant every now and then that I don't get more opportunities to help people with true technical problems?
[00:17] <VoiDeT> hey everyone. Posted a question on the forums, no answer. Wondering if i should of posted it in Beginner talk or where it is in general help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725615
[00:17] <Fryguy--> visof: on the manual when you bought the monitor, or on the spec sheet of the manufacturer's website, available for download
[00:17] <visof> can i know this with command?
[00:18] <Fryguy--> visof: the monitor might have EDID information stored that you can probe, but probably not
[00:18] <soundray> Fryguy--: I made a suggestion and I said please. Take it or leave it, and do what you want.
[00:18] <jerbear> gdm does not load my ~/.zprofile file, but it does load ~/.profile.. what gives?
[00:18] <ygorabreu_br_spa> billyguitarhero:hey mate, could ya tell me how's going so i could help...or still busy?
[00:18] <sarthor> Can i play game "Counter-Strike" on linux in Free??? if yes where can i download.
[00:18] <Fryguy--> soundray: and I did what I wanted, which was respond to you...
[00:18] <mohamed_> hello all , have sound card not working,lspci give this result" 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) "  any help ?
[00:18] <Fryguy--> jerbear: why would you expect it to load that profile?
[00:19] <jerbear> Fryguy--: b/c it's supposed to... kdm does
[00:19] <Fryguy--> jerbear: what does another application's choosing to load a file have to do with the current application?
[00:20] <jerbear> Fryguy--: this is what is supposed to happen with a display manager... it loads the profile file for your preferred shell
[00:20] <Fryguy--> jerbear: if the problem is really that much of a big deal to you, just symlink one to the other
[00:21] <jerbear> Fryguy--: it doesn't work that way... one is zsh, the other is bash, trying to source one with the other doesn't work
[00:21] <sageb1> ok i am outies
[00:21] <sageb1> quit
[00:21] <jerbear> Fryguy--: i've seen forum posts about this exact thing.. i was wondering if anyone else has come up with a solution to this
[00:21] <Fryguy--> jerbear: afaik bash profile is .bash_profile, and using .profile for anything related to bash is a non-standard convention, I could be wrong though
[00:22] <instabin> I have samba setup on ubuntu and there is a pdf printer share. What driver do i use for this on my windows machines?
[00:22] <EruditeHermit> hi, where can I find the config files for displayconfig-gtk so that I can purge them?
[00:22] <Fryguy--> I don't use zsh on my ubuntu system, only on other systems, so I can't be of more help to you.  I'd expect few people/nobody in here are using anything but the standard shell
[00:23] <jerbear> Fryguy--: actually, you're right... ~/.profile is sourced by sh, where bash_profile is sourced by bash
[00:23] <jerbear> Fryguy--: it's only standard b/c it's the default... it doesn't make sense that gdm would not work with other shells
[00:24] <icesword> hello,everyone
[00:24] <Fryguy--> jerbear: so file a bug then
[00:26] <ronandi> is there a way to make rhythm box minimize to tray?
[00:26] <icesword> i almost got mac4lin ran in vmware>it is a pity it doesn't support 3d
[00:26] <Fryguy--> ronandi: alltray will probably do what you want
[00:26] <ronandi> thx!
[00:26] <tictacaddict> steve-uk2: just click on the tray icon
[00:27] <tictacaddict> sorry, I meant icesword: just click on the tray icon
[00:27] <steve-uk2> if U could see the tray icon I would tick it
[00:27] <icesword> tictacaddict, ?
[00:28] <resel> ffew
[00:28] <tictacaddict> dang.  alright maybe I just can't read
[00:28] <sarthor> Can i play game "Counter-Strike" on linux in Free??? if yes where can i download.
[00:28] <isaacj87> hello all
[00:28] <tictacaddict> ronandi is the one asking about rhythmbox
[00:28] <resel> hello all
[00:28] <isaacj87> noob here...but i was interested in a PPA?
[00:28] <kauer> further to $!  I think there are two problems. When I start (say) tail -f in the background, $! correctly contains the PID of the tail process. When I start the program I want to track, $! contains nothing. Problem 1 is that the program has to be started in the background. Unfortunately the program is a daemon and detaches itself, so bash doesn't know about it. Problem 2 is that it seems to start a subprocess, lettting the original process die. So even if
[00:28] <isaacj87> how does one start one up?
[00:28] <resel> i want to play counter strike
[00:29] <damaltor> hello everybody. i did set up an apache web server in my home network, with a static adress via dyndns wich converts my non-static ip. this worked great for some days now. after messing around with CUPS (wanted to get that fancy webinterface via network) its down: i still can reach it via its local ip, and i also can reach the router configuration menu (wich i set to port 100 for no problems with http port 80) via dyndns. so dyndns works,
[00:29] <damaltor> and direct connection to the webserver works - i thought of the router, maybe he has problems with port forwarding (Zyxel machines are known for like, forgetting the set up things) but the configuration is ok. even when i disable the firewall in the router, no connection from outside is possible (worked before!). so my questions are: can the "server" i set up here notice a difference between connecting to it via dyndns and connecting via L
[00:29] <damaltor> AN? is there anything i could have messed up?
[00:29] <icesword> resel, steam>or wine
[00:29] <sarthor>  resel i also want to play.
[00:29] <ronandi> rofl... i was looking for some box taht said min to tray

[00:31] <sarthor> ronandi, i there any way to make legal this illegal move??
[00:31] <ronandi> sarthor: no.
[00:31] <sarthor> ronandi, OK.
[00:31] <sarthor> ronandi, ..............Weeping...........
[00:31] <ronandi> sarthor: The game was originally made by Sierra, and its now run under Valve corporation. You can buy it for $10 and run it using Wine windows emulator
[00:32] <icesword> that is not dear
[00:32] <sarthor> ronandi, Wine make slow my computer. i hate that.
[00:32] <ronandi> sarthor: that is, the original cs (v. 1.6). The new version of the game is Counter-Strike:Source ($20)
[00:32] <icesword> yeah,it has to
[00:32] <ronandi> yeah
[00:32] <ronandi> sarthor: computer specs?
[00:33] <ronandi> actually, everyone give comp specs
[00:33] <sarthor> ronandi, i dont have any CC to buy. financially i m zero.. my pc is 1 GB ram...3.0 p4. 128 vga
[00:34] <sarthor> 80 GB Hdd
[00:34] <icesword> it will run windows very well:)

[00:35] <parkinm> why do no title bars appear on my ubuntu? :|
[00:35] <parkinm> im pretty sure title bars used to be there...
[00:35] <parkinm> anyone know how to bring back my title bars on ubuntu 7.1?

[00:36] <ronandi> how do I write a script for irc that says all taht?
[00:36] <soundray> parkinm: if your windows don't have title bars, your window manager is probably not running. Run 'metacity'
[00:37] <parkinm> aha that solved it
[00:37] <PedroBRHA> teste
[00:37] <sarthor> soundray, i use to earn but the ground reality is going against me.
[00:37] <PedroBRHA> hi
[00:37] <parkinm> soundray: how do i make it always run metacity?
[00:37] <sarthor> and its better advice for me to stop desiring of playing CS:) Stoppped
[00:37] <soundray> sarthor: it will continue going against you if you waste your time
[00:38] <SpookyET> I'm having some mouse problems. Is anyone willing to help?
[00:38] <icesword> sarthor, do you get paid for playing cs
[00:38] <soundray> parkinm: if you played with desktop effects, disable them -- that should restore it to always run metacity
[00:39] <parkinm> soundray, hmm i dont think i have played with anything at all, :C
[00:39] <sarthor> icesword, No. soundray . i stopped wishing to play CS.... so i am not wasting time.
[00:39] <icesword> hmm,good news

[00:40] <Black_Magic> Can No one Help me get internet Working in Ubuntu? Ive resorted to reinstalling windows and using it and ive grown to HATE Windows...so can someone help Card is Atheros AR5006EG
[00:41] <SpookyET>  While it worked before, for the last 2 days, Arch is not detecting my touchpad on boot. I have to manually modprobe psmouse for the mouse to work. Synaptics in xorg still does not detect it. So, I have limited functionality.  I'm not sure what went wrong.
[00:41] <tux97> black_magic is that a wireless card?
[00:41] <soundray> SpookyET: this is not Arch support
[00:42] <Black_Magic> tux97: Yea
[00:42] <no> question!
[00:42] <no> my router is detecting a lot of ping of death attacks
[00:42] <stevendemorez> anyone using ubuntu on an eeepc please pm me i need some help
[00:42] <no> and every 4 or 5 days my server will freeze
[00:42] <yndis> what could be wrong when i cant start "alsamixer" but get the error: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[00:42] <SpookyET> soundray: I meant ubuntu. I got 2 boxes. one arch one ubuntu
[00:42] <no> what can I do?
[00:43] <tux97> ok for mine i did for my broadcom wifi card was go to google.com and searched for ubuntu then my wifi card it told me to get ndiswrapper and use the windows driver
[00:43] <bshosey> Has anyone try ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1021?
[00:43] <soundray> no: inform your internet service provider
[00:43] <Black_Magic> If i Can Just get Wireless working in Ubuntu ill be happy thats been my problem for about a month and im really not wanting to do a reinstallation
[00:43] <reznark> QUick question...when enabling restricted drivers on a 3d accelrator, what needs to be kept in mind to prevent having to reconf xorg?
[00:43] <bshosey> I ment 1721
[00:43] <tux97> not me bshoey i'm running a 1521 with gutsy
[00:44] <no> soundray: the pings of death come from a variety of ip addresses which are forged probably
[00:44] <BinaryFu> Mooo...
[00:44] <Dmole> how do i add to /etc/resolv.conf properly?
[00:44] <bshosey> does the 1521 have the ATI 1250?
[00:44] <tux97> black_magic did i help you?
[00:44] <tux97> ati 1250 what?
[00:45] <soundray> no: you've got a contract with an ISP to provide your connection. Now if someone interferes with that service provision, it's their responsibility to solve that problem. It's not a Ubuntu support issue.
[00:45] <Fryguy--> Dmole: just add ip addresses, one per line, or search domains if you have them
[00:45] <bshosey> tux97: Radeon xpress
[00:46] <tux97> it has ati stuff in here
[00:46] <BinaryFu> I have an odd situation going on with my Ubuntu gutsy. Nautilus is acting up. As in, my desktop icons cannot be clicked, I can dive down into some directories in nautilus, but certain ones I hit will show nothing in the folder (even though there are items there and it reports the correct amount in the status bar) and then it pretty much locks up solid from that point on to where I have to killall nautilus. Any clues as to where to start looking for a
[00:46] <tux97> video and sound
[00:46] <Dmole> "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN"
[00:46] <Dmole> Fryguy--: the changes go away each boot
[00:47] <no> I tried my ISP already - they said there is nothing they can do - their service is operational......I agree with them
[00:47] <bshosey> tux97: I got pore performance with compize and opengl games with mine on Hardy.
[00:47] <no> it isn't a transport problem
[00:47] <no> it's a hacker problem
[00:47] <Fryguy--> Dmole: only if you are using dhcp or some other mechanism that is going to overwrite your dns settings
[00:47] <no> I believe this is a firewall/hacking issue
[00:47] <tux97> oh ok compize isn't installed on this one
[00:47] <no> can someone else advise me?
[00:47] <PedroBRHA> Hi
[00:47] <BinaryFu> no: What's the malfunction?
[00:48] <PedroBRHA> I'am br user hahaha
[00:48] <PedroBRHA> no speak english
[00:48] <tux97> bshosey do you know why i can't access my ubuntu desktop from my laptop?
[00:48] <PedroBRHA> wait
[00:48] <no> binary: the server will freeze completely - even if I press the power button nothing will happen - my router logs show repeated pings of death attempts
[00:48] <randy__> Hi--new to Ubuntu.  Sound card appears to be installed, but not playing audio.  Mute is off, volume is up.  Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum.  Help?
[00:48] <soundray> no: even if you can't get your ISP to help, that doesn't make it a ubuntu support issue
[00:48] <Black_Magic> tux97: Huh? its a wireless card is basically all you said...
[00:48] <no> soundray it is an ubuntu issue
[00:49] <tux97> well i tried cat5 as well and nothing
[00:49] <no> ubuntu software is accepting these malformed pings
[00:49] <soundray> no: DDOS attacks aren't
[00:49] <PedroBRHA> my sound card function good
[00:49] <no> yes, if the software accepts malformed pings
[00:49] <Dmole> Fryguy--: well i'm not sure how to deal with that but i might just change em back with /etc/rc3.d/S99local
[00:49] <bshosey> tux97: are you just browsing samba?
[00:49] <PedroBRHA> ubuntu autodetection sound card
[00:49] <BinaryFu> no: Sounds like perhaps you need to get more strict with your denials in iftables. I'd suggest trying Firestarter, and making sure to deny ICMP etc. and then remove the denials one at a time until you run into the problem, then you know which to protect from.
[00:49] <tux97> yea for my shares
[00:49] <preor> hi
[00:49] <PedroBRHA> hi
[00:49] <tux97> and when i click on my network it times out
[00:49] <Bunny_of_Death> any one lookin for a good bunny....
[00:50] <bshosey> Tux97 both machines are running ubuntu?
[00:50] <tux97> yep
[00:50] <MirrorImage> I just installed the new firefox beta and I can't get flash to work, any suggestions?
[00:50] <tux97> my laptop and desktop where my samba shares are
[00:50] <Fryguy--> MirrorImage: go back to a stable version of firefox
[00:50] <preor> I just installed linux and my sound card does not seem to work, any hints?
[00:50] <MirrorImage> Besides that : p
[00:50] <tux97> windows pcs work fine to browse samba but not my ubuntu laptop
[00:50] <randy__> same here, no sound
[00:50] <BinaryFu> Bunny_of_Death: Only if the bunny could help me figure out what the hell Nautilus' problem is on my boxen. :)
[00:51] <Fryguy--> MirrorImage: you are asking for help with beta software in a channel that has nothing directly to do with the software.  What kind of answer are you looking for ?
[00:51] <bshosey> tux97: that is what I was thinking. OK. I have not done much with samba but on my server I had to put on all clients same username and passords on the system to work.
[00:51] <no> binary: today I started to try that: however I allow icmp pings for source quenching and no response - is that wise?
[00:51] <Dr_willis> preor,  theres a lot of new sound cards that dont have full linux support yet. some are supported. but ubuntu hasdnt the proper updated drivers yet.  The next release may  support them
[00:51] <e345> i need some help with video settings
[00:51] <tux97> my server works fine for users and so forth
[00:51] <MirrorImage> I was just wondering if you could help, I don't think I'm doing anything crazy by asking, Fryguy--
[00:51] <BinaryFu> no: Personally, I've found very little use for ICMP to be allowed...ever. So, it's denied by default on my box.
[00:51] <preor> Dr_willis: a very old sound card actually Audigy Platinum
[00:51] <tux97> but i just can't access it by wifi or cat5
[00:52] <Fryguy--> MirrorImage: this is completely the wrong forum to be asking that sort of question
[00:52] <BinaryFu> no: but then, I also have it silently drop pings, which might be useful for you if you're remote administering the box.
[00:52] <cyberpunk__> hi
[00:52] <no> Binary: I am a newbie - I operate a tor/freenet/and soon a mixmaster remailer server - do you agree that I don't need ICMP for any of these? what is ICMP used for anyway?
[00:52] <cyberpunk__> does anyone know an easy traffic shaping method? i need to prioritize p2p traffic
[00:52] <randy__> preor, I have same problem with my SB audigy platinum
[00:52] <tux97> randy do u have sound or is there a mark to ur sound saying no sound device installed?
[00:52] <Dr_willis> preor,  my audigy cards are working fine. ive had several of them. If using the digital output on them. Some times that needs to get selected, it may just be your mixer settings have the volumes down. Try playing a sound file,  and see if they 'play' or error out.
[00:52] <bshosey> tux97: can you ping and ssh to the server from the laptop?
[00:52] <Dr_willis> Ive used Audigy, and now have an Audigy2zs in my main machine.
[00:53] <tux97> mmmm is pinging the same in ubuntu as windows?
[00:53] <randy__> tux97: just no sound.  No errors.
[00:53] <tux97> oh ok
[00:53] <Dr_willis> tux97,  ping whatever.machine.ip.or.name
[00:53] <Dr_willis> :)
[00:53] <Starnestommy> no: ICMP is mainly used to see if a host is up, how long it takes to respond to pings, and what route messages take from your computer to another
[00:53] <MirrorImage> Fryguy--, is this an applicable question, I'm pretty sure I didn't replace firefox and still have the stable version around somewhere on here, do you know where I can go about finding it?
[00:53] <tux97> i had errors and i did some stuff and it worked fine now
[00:53] <BinaryFu> no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Protocol that will give you a quick education on ICMP and it's uses...most of which, I consider pointless. :)
[00:53] <tux97> ok ty dr_willis
[00:53]  * icmp sighs
[00:53] <bshosey> tux97: use the network tools under system>administration
[00:54] <no> I see,thank you both!
[00:54] <Dr_willis> windows has a ping command also i belive.
[00:54] <icmp> pointless am I!
[00:54] <boselecta> i'm having a terrible time getting a WPA2 Personal wireless cxn set up on my friend's laptop. is there a trick to this?
[00:54] <preor> Dr_willis:  did play an mp3 no errors and I downloaded a codec, did adjust the picture of speakers beside the clock to the highest volume also youtube videos with no sound
[00:54] <tux97> ok i pinged it
[00:54] <BinaryFu> no: very welcome. Hope it helped.
[00:54] <no> lol, do you just make that name? icmp?
[00:54] <preor> Dr_willis:  is there a specific installation for audigy perha[s
[00:54] <tux97> but when i go to places and network then my network it times out
[00:55] <BinaryFu> icmp: Don't feel that way...I'm sure the script kiddies still luv you!
[00:55] <Fryguy--> MirrorImage: i have no idea.  I build a sandbox virtual machine whenever I start screwing around with beta software that i have stable versions of laying around
[00:55] <icmp> I've had this name since the internet was young.
[00:55] <icmp> If you ever want to find me, just put your ear to the ground
[00:55] <MirrorImage> Alright then
[00:55] <Dr_willis> preor,   ive never had to do anything for my audigy cards other then perhaps check the mixer controlls.  try the alsamixer tools, you may need to install them, instead of the gnome mixer.
[00:55] <bshosey> try to add the server in you host in the network setting and see if you can access it.
[00:55] <DDOS> Hey, we still love ya ICMP!
[00:55] <icmp> all kidding aside, icmp does it exactly what it was designed to
[00:55] <Fryguy--> considering icmp is partly responsible for running the internet, i'd say it's pretty important
[00:55] <icmp> indeed
[00:56] <e345> is there a good room to go to for assistance with display issues or someone i can query?
[00:56] <ronandi> gonna go play CS lol. cya
[00:56] <yndis> how do i uninstall the alsa drivers ?
[00:56] <Dr_willis> preor,  last i rember i could see the player play the sound, the little 'volume bars and stuff would jump around' showing it was playing, but i had no sound out. I had to use the alsamixer to enable the digital out. mess with some other sliders to get the volume actually up.
[00:56] <Fryguy--> e345: just ask your question in here, we'll either answer it, ignore you if we dont' know, or point you in the right direction
[00:56] <Dr_willis> !find alsa
[00:56] <bshosey> tux97: are you systems DHCP or Static ip's
[00:56] <ubotu> Found: alsa-base, alsa-utils, gstreamer0.10-alsa, libesd-alsa0, libsdl1.2debian-alsa (and 37 others)
[00:56] <Dr_willis> !find mixer
[00:56] <ubotu> Found: alsa-utils, kmix, libsdl-mixer1.2, libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, xfce4-mixer (and 11 others)
[00:56] <BinaryFu> But it has it's uses...and a lot of times, it's not as necessary to have reception of it.
[00:56] <no> icmp is simply for computers to check if others are on the net?
[00:56] <tux97> dhcp
[00:57] <yndis> i had working sound, but then i messed it up and i want to uninstall and reinstall whatever was working in the first place :P
[00:57] <Fryguy--> no: it does quite a bit more than that
[00:57] <e345> ok, i was trying to get my projector to display sidelong with my laptop, now i have restarted my laptop and am stuck in 640x480 and the S&G preferences wont let me change it
[00:57] <bshosey> tux97: OK. do you have DNS running on the server?
[00:57] <boselecta> does WPA2 Personal wireless work under 7.07? The ESSID is not broadcast on this network.
[00:57] <tux97> i dont know
[00:57] <Fryguy--> boselecta: yes it works fine
[00:58] <boselecta> Fryguy--: is there a trick to it, because I can't get it to connect.
[00:58] <Fryguy--> boselecta: nope, it just works.  make sure you are using the correct settings
[00:58] <no> fryguy : wikipedia says it's for error messages for routers and hosts
[00:58] <bshosey> OK. I am going to assume you do not. I belive that you do not. I would just add the server name and IP in you hosts file.
[00:58] <no> how is it useful otherwise?
[00:58] <Dmole> Fryguy--: it(init.d) worked but i'm sure there is a proper way
[00:58] <Fryguy--> no: and other things
[00:59] <no> wikipedia doesn't elaborate: could you summarize :P
[00:59] <boselecta> Fryguy--: the ESSID is set correctly, I have set it to DHCP, and I have typed in the password several times. It never connects. All I get is the "Changing interface configuration" dialog.
[01:00] <no> basically I want to operate a free speech/anonymizing service server
[01:00] <tux97> bshosey i can ssh to it using putty
[01:00] <soundray> boselecta: is it a Ralink chipset?
[01:01] <boselecta> no, i think it's Intel Pro Wireless (on a laptop)
[01:01] <randy__> Yes!  I just used Alsa Mixer, to change my audio settings, and it worked--make sure "Front" channel is turned up
[01:02] <soundray> boselecta: is it actually 7.04 or 7.10?
[01:03] <randy__> preor: do what I did, install Alsa Mixer and play with the sliders.  See if it gets your sound to play.
[01:03] <randy__> thanks for help, all--goodbye
[01:03] <boselecta> soundray: 7.10
[01:03] <ronandi> lol... im back.... cs crashed after I played for like 2 min
[01:03] <preor> Dr_willis: where can I get alsa mixer from
[01:04] <tux97> bshosey wheres my host file on witch pc?
[01:04] <no> thanks all bye
[01:04] <soundray> boselecta: do you get the problem on the live CD?
[01:04] <xenthro> my engineer friend is complaining about the lack of features in the "solver" in openoffice spreadsheet VS Excel. is there a plugin or something that will make it better?
[01:04] <jordan> how do I configure a USB device?
[01:04] <boselecta> soundray: i couldn't tell you, but it is a relatively fresh install from scratch (new HD).
[01:05] <Dr_willis> preor,  look in the packjage manager, thers several variants of it.
[01:05] <soundray> xenthro: if a decision of Windows vs. Ubuntu is hinging on Calc vs. Excel, I'm pessimistic...
[01:06] <xenthro> soundray, he was actually very impressed with OOO, he just needs a better solver
[01:06] <dodimar20> need help.. have a fresh install of xubuntu. but everytime i restart or shutdown, it hangs, makes a never ending "tooot" sound. never experienced this from gnome etc..
[01:06] <tgm4883> in gnome in 8.04, where do you set the default player to open when an ipod is connected?  It seems to have changed places since 7.10
[01:06] <soundray> boselecta: if you could test your wireless from a live CD environment, you could narrow the issue down to one with your hard disk installation if it works
[01:06] <Pici> !hardy | tgm4883
[01:06] <Fryguy--> tgm4883: wrong channel
[01:06] <ubotu> tgm4883: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[01:06] <SpookyET> I don't get why kde4 are reinventing compiz-fusion. Not only that I get less than half the frame rate and artifacts all over the place, the effects are crappy.
[01:07] <preor> Dr_willis: installed it, yet no sounds :S
[01:07] <tgm4883> my bad, thanks
[01:07] <boselecta> does IPW2100 support WPA2?
[01:07] <rawrbert> can i ask about problems in here?
[01:07] <Fryguy--> SpookyET: the kde developers posted a huge article about why they did what they did a while back, can probably find it on google
[01:07] <clearzen> dodimar20: have you tried shuting it down from a terminal to see what error it gives you?
[01:07] <dodimar20> hmn.. not yet...
[01:08] <dodimar20> i'll try it.. will post the result here..
[01:08] <tux97> bshosey wheres my host file on witch puter to add the info?
[01:08] <Fryguy--> tux97: /etc/hosts
[01:08] <soundray> xenthro: have you seen the development project that deals with this issue? http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Optimization_Solver
[01:08] <Dr_willis> preor,  you did RUN the mixer protgram and mess with the sliders?
[01:09] <jordan> how do I configure USB devices on Linux?
[01:09] <tux97> fryguy witch puter ?
[01:09] <Fryguy--> jordan: too vague
[01:09] <Fryguy--> tux97: ?
[01:09] <xenthro> soundray, thanks for the link, checking it now
[01:09] <Fryguy--> the one you want to connect from...
[01:09] <soundray> jordan: what do you mean by 'configure', and what kind of device is it?
[01:09] <sutabi> im having trouble with flash, I install gnash after I installed the non-free flash and my flash sound stopped working so I uninstalled both and installed flash just itself and still getting no sound. The rest of the system has sound ;(
[01:09] <jordan> fryguy--: a logitech microphone then?
[01:09] <tux97> witch pc to add to the hostfile for my server and ip addy stuff that bshosey was telling me to do
[01:09] <clearzen> jordan: what do you mean configure?
[01:09] <Fryguy--> tux97: the one you want to connect to
[01:10] <tux97> ok
[01:10] <jordan> fryguy--: maybe it's the wrong word. I'm trying to figure out how to get my laptop to detect that it's there
[01:10] <preor> Dr_willis: yeah, which Sound Capture shall I choose btw?
[01:10] <Fryguy--> sutabi: look into using the alsa-oss wrapper in your browser http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&hs=lYO&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=firefox+flash+alsa+oss&spell=1
[01:10] <CoolBreeze> hey guys, how do i authenticate in gamesurge with pidgin? /authserv AUTH XXXX XXXX does not work. Let me know. Thanks
[01:10] <tux97> so in /etc/hosts how do i put the server name and the ip addy in that file?
[01:10] <soundray> jordan: what kind of device?
[01:10] <Sonja> i can't see the videos embedded in this page http://hem.spray.se/sammorling/bodyworm.html What do I do to viev them in Firefox?? I should have all the quicktime codecs already! :(
[01:10] <jordan> fryguy--: USB
[01:10] <preor> Dr_willis: Asla Advanced Linux Sound Architect?
[01:11] <Dr_willis> preor,  i only had to slide the sliders around.  Ubuntu uses alsa as its sound drivers.
[01:11] <Fryguy--> tux97: you edit the file and put the information in, just like the examples and other entries that are in there
[01:11] <boselecta> soundray: when i do a sudo ifup -v eth1, it seems like the issue is "No DHCPOFFERS received."
[01:11] <jordan> soundray: USB
[01:11] <soundray> jordan: what kind of USB device?
[01:12] <jordan> soundray: what do you mean?
[01:12] <M1dn1ght> Hey guys.  I'm having some serious trouble getting Ubuntu installed.  Every type of install I try freezes shorty after I select the install type.  Problem seems to be my SiS Mirage 3 Card according to other techies I've asked.  So far I've tried about 7 distros: Ubuntu, Knoppix, Redhat, Fedora, openSuse and a couple more I can't remember.  I've also tried installing in text mode, used the alternate cd.  Even tried installing from mounted .iso in case it was my
[01:12] <clearzen> boselecta: have you tried setting a static ip?
[01:12] <M1dn1ght> Any ideas on a next step?
[01:12] <Fryguy--> boselecta: are you connecting to a network that doesn't use dhcp?
[01:12] <soundray> jordan: a mouse? a keyboard? a memory stick? a scanner? a printer? a GPS? a vibrator? a mug warmer?
[01:12] <tux97> fryguy its confusing with all this stuff <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[01:12] <tux97> <IP_ADDRESS> tux-laptop.hackers
[01:12] <tux97> # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
[01:12] <tux97> ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

[01:13] <BinaryFu> So, any ideas on why Nautilus might suddenly decide to have lockup issues in Gutsy?
[01:13] <boselecta> clearzen, Fryguy--: no, it's a DHCP network. i don't control the network router.
[01:13] <Fryguy--> MidnighToker: sounds like you have to make a hardware change to have a usable system in linux then
[01:13] <jordan> soundray: oh! sorry. I used the wrong word in my question. I meant how do I get my computer to detect that my USB microphone is connected?
[01:13] <Fryguy--> BinaryFu: too vague
[01:13] <Jordan_U> jordan, Do you know that there exist linux drivers for your microphone?
[01:13] <M1dn1ght> Not really an option for me as computer is a laptop and changing graphics chips is fiddly and expensive.
[01:14] <soundray> jordan: do a 'lsmod | grep usbaudio'. If that generates output, it is detected and configured.
[01:14] <clearzen> boselecta: you can set a static ip on your machine and connect to the network
[01:14] <M1dn1ght> Looks like I might be doomed to a life with microshite
[01:14] <Fryguy--> M1dn1ght: then you are probably out of luck
[01:14] <boselecta> clearzen: will that play nice with the router?
[01:14] <clearzen> M1dn1ght: what kernel options have you tried? What errors does it give you in text mode
[01:14] <jordan> jordan_U: eh?
[01:14] <Fryguy--> boselecta: if you configure it correctly, yes
[01:14] <clearzen> boselecta:yes
[01:15] <jordan> soundray: just paste it into the terminal?
[01:15] <soundray> jordan: yes
[01:15] <jordan> soundray: nothing happened. And also, nothing gets detected when I plug it in. When I plug in my iphone to charge it doesn't charge or anything
[01:16] <M1dn1ght> Often I do not get any errors unfortunately.  With Ubuntu for example, it says it's loading kernal, reaches 100% and then goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor.  Can't Ctrl+C, Alt-F2, CTRL-ALT_DEL.
[01:16] <chowder> anyone have any experience with OpenGEU (formerly known as Gebuntu)?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> jordan, If there are no drivers available for your USB microphone then it might be 'detected' just fine, it just can't be made to work ( not saying that is the case, just wondering if you can rule out that possibility  )
[01:16] <jordan> soundray: except for the computer charger
[01:16] <M1dn1ght> As for the options I've used...I'll see if I can find them on a reference page.  Don't remember them all off the top of my head
[01:16] <rawrbert> when i start and install ubuntu 6.06(64AMD) after a while i get the xserver error so i try to reconfigure with [dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg]. After that, what should i do to start my install?
[01:16] <jordan> Jordan_U: how do I find out?
[01:17] <kitche> rawrbert: startx
[01:17] <CoolBreeze> why hey guys, if "authserv AUTH USERNAME PASSWORD" does not work to authenticate (replies unknown command) with pidgin, what does? I know this is not the #pidgin support channel but let me know if you guys know how to auth with pidgin
[01:17] <eromero> is there a way to have all usb keys mounted at the same mountpoint all the time?

[01:19] <DnOberon> Hey guys, pretty new to linux, just downloaded the Ubuntu alternate setup cd for the third time now. I seem to have trouble getting a working cd, when I check for defects something is always corrupt. I'm using cdburner xp pro, and the ubuntu version is the latest for AMD 64 cpus
[01:19] <nikrud> visik7: sudo lshw
[01:19] <Fryguy--> DnOberon: buy higher quality cd media, get a better burner, or burn at a slower speed
[01:19] <DnOberon> I've been burning at 24x, go lower than that?
[01:19] <Fryguy--> sure
[01:19] <DnOberon> and can it be burnt to a dvd?
[01:20] <Fryguy--> yes
[01:20] <DnOberon> Alright, thanks for the help, hope it works, I'm excited about switching =P
[01:20] <M1dn1ght> acpi=off is one I've tried,
[01:20] <nikrud> eromero: if you right click a mounted stick, select properties and then the volume tab, you can open the settings and give the device a name, like Stick1 , then Stick2 etc.

[01:20] <choudesh> varsendaggr, cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:20] <Jordan_U> jordan, First try to figure out exactly what model USB microphone it is ( "lsusb" might help in that ), but looking at your other posts it seems like this is a general problem with your USB controller, can you mount USB pen drives or use USB keyboards?
[01:20] <DnOberon> midnight, thats an option I enter in the advanced options on the first menu right?
[01:20] <clearzen> M1dn1ght: try noapic as a kernel option
[01:21] <Fryguy--> varsendaggr: they are provided to your by your isp via dhcp.  If this is not the case, then just pick some to use.  I personally use verizon's root level dns servers because they are fater for me
[01:21] <clearzen> M1dn1ght: also edit boot options and remove quiet from boot options
[01:21] <eromero> nikrud: how about in xubuntu
[01:21] <jordan> Jordan_U: So far no USB devices have worked. So I don't think so
[01:21] <nikrud> eromero: you'd need to write some udev rules
[01:21] <M1dn1ght> Dn0beron - I wasn't giving you advice there mate :)  I probably know a lot less than you
[01:22] <DnOberon> I figured that out afterwards +P
[01:22] <M1dn1ght> Thanks clearzen.  I will need to quit out while I reboot.
[01:22] <DnOberon> got a lot of people asking and helping, didn't expect it
[01:22] <jeremy_> hello i need some advice as to why the ipod icon for my 3rd gen nano won't mount/show up on my desktop. i am using kubuntu 7.10 wtih libgpod 6.0 and amarok 1.4.8.. i know that there is no problem with amarok, so it has to be the ipod. if either the os/software/music player is the problem, which one is it and is there an alternative that works better with amarok/linux
[01:22] <Fryguy--> !repeat | jeremy_
[01:22] <ubotu> jeremy_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:23]  * M1dn1ght slaps DnOberon around a bit with a large trout
[01:23] <varsendaggr> how do i configure eth0?
[01:23] <shadowhywind> Strange problem, my caps,num,scroll lock light doesn't work anymore. Any one have any ideas?
[01:23] <Fryguy--> varsendaggr: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[01:23] <jeremy_> ok sorry first time
[01:23] <nikrud> eromero: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[01:23] <eromero> thanks!
[01:23] <DnOberon> I think I found the main reason mine wouldn't work, the ISO files are 710 megs on my machine, I only have 700mb discs 0.o
[01:24] <Jordan_U> jordan, Do you get any output from "lspci | grep USB" ? ( Do NOT paste it in the channel if you do )
[01:24] <varsendaggr> Fryguy--: what do i put
[01:24] <varsendaggr> n/m i will google it
[01:24] <ghfreak51> hey
[01:24] <Fryguy--> holy crap!
[01:24] <Fryguy--> it's a miracle!
[01:25] <Fryguy--> somebody figured out what google was, all by themself
[01:25] <Fryguy--> varsendaggr: you are my hero!
[01:25] <M1dn1ght> okee - hopefully next time I log in it will be from a linux OS.  Thanks for the help
[01:25] <jordan> Jordan_U: Two, actually
[01:25] <ghfreak51> whats a good channel to download shit on
[01:25] <Fryguy--> ghfreak51: ?
[01:25] <nikrud> ghfreak51: ?
[01:26] <Fryguy--> ghfreak51: inappropriate for this channel
[01:26] <jordan> Jordan_U: But it says the same thing even when I unplug it
[01:26] <clearzen> ghfreak51: www.riaa.com
[01:26] <ghfreak51> um sry?  just wondering where i could get some music
[01:26] <Fryguy--> ghfreak51: wrong channel
[01:26] <ghfreak51> obviously
[01:26] <nikrud> ghfreak51: not this channel, ubuntu support here only. No support for potentially illegal activities
[01:27] <Fryguy--> btw hi nikrud
[01:27] <Jordan_U> jordan, when you unplug the USB controller or USB devices? what is listed there should be the controller itself
[01:27] <nikrud> Fryguy--: howwwdy!
[01:27] <kenzo> what is the extension of a "bath" file on linux?
[01:27] <kenzo> script?
[01:28] <Fryguy--> kenzo: ?
[01:28] <jordan> Jordan_U: Nope. It says something about nVidia Co
[01:28] <Jordan_U> kenade, Batch you mean?
[01:28] <nikrud> kenzo: they are not identified by extension
[01:28] <clearzen> linux doesn't actually pay attention to extensions
[01:28] <clearzen> gnome does though
[01:28] <nikrud> kenzo: a script in linux has a flag set, the exectuable one
[01:28] <Fryguy--> there are several languages available that are suitable for batch scripting in linux, namely python, ruby, perl, bash, and probably a few others are common as well
[01:28] <kenzo> Yea, I need to make a script to set my wireless network up
[01:29] <nikrud> clearzen: iirc gnome uses the usual magic to identify files
[01:29] <jon__> exit
[01:29] <thuglife0320> guys i'm asking this for a friend he occasionally experiences problems with wireless, he sometimes can't connect with wireless and has to restart the computer he also runs windows
[01:29] <Jordan_U> kenzo, Just make a text file with "#!/bin/bash" as the first line and make it executable
[01:30] <mithraic> I'm at the end of my rope: Running 'xrandr -o left' freezes my system within seconds.
[01:30] <mithraic> What should I do to diagnose or fix this?
[01:30] <mithraic> I'm using an ATI Radeon 9200, with the open-source drivers.
[01:30] <Jordan_U> nikrud, But it will warn you if the magic number does not match the extention to help prevent wetware attacks :)
[01:31] <nikrud> Jordan_U: ah, I didn't think it would say ah, it says .sh, therefore I'll run :)
[01:31] <Fryguy--> man, wading through documentation and comparisons between various backup systems is annoying :/
[01:32] <skarface> Fryguy--: indeed. let me know when you find the right one. ;P
[01:32] <varsendaggr> networking: hey the lo interface seemes to be communicating   but i need the ethernet card to be setup, can someone give me a pointer or two?
[01:32] <kenzo> thank's
[01:32] <Fryguy--> skarface: I probably have vastly different needs from you
[01:32] <nikrud> varsendaggr: static or dhcp?
[01:32] <ehc> I am trying to use spanish accents with alt and my numpad but nothing it isn't working. Can I enable this somehow?
[01:32] <skarface> Fryguy--: possibly
[01:32] <varsendaggr> i also get no DHCPOFFERS received
[01:32] <varsendaggr> nikrud: DHCP
[01:32] <skarface> Fryguy--: but you've probably highlighted the problem there
[01:33] <nikrud> varsendaggr: wireless? If so, ill just wander back into the woodwork
[01:33] <Jordan_U> varsendaggr, 'lo' is the loopback interface
[01:33] <mouseboyx> <IP_ADDRESS> = lo
[01:33] <Fryguy--> skarface: I have a centralized file server already that is serving files to my machines over nfs, with the backup drives already set up on the main server, so I'm not doing any client/server stuff, simply replicating from 1 raid array to another
[01:33] <clearzen> varsendaggr: the config for networking devices is located at /etc/network/interfaces
[01:33] <skarface> Fryguy--: yeah that's not what I want ;)
[01:33] <clearzen> varsendaggr: You can set it up in that file
[01:34] <varsendaggr> no it is wired...   i am setting up a computer at my house and i will then send it to my friends house
[01:34] <varsendaggr> clearzen: thanks
[01:36] <SpookyET> my applications.menu has gone missing. how do you recreate it
[01:36] <nikrud> varsendaggr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59885/ , you can use this as a template for a static interface in that file
[01:37] <boselecta> any idea why my wireless interface would show an IPv6 address in Network Tools, but not IPv4? i have been having trouble with setting up the WPA2 connection.
[01:37] <mabus> my resolution displays improperly on my l222wt widescreen lcd. 1680x1050 is the resolution for the monitor and I have it set in xorg.conf. im using the intel driver for VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 02). the screen appears to be normal height, but much wider than my screen
[01:38] <mabus> any ideas?
[01:38] <Whyvas> stretch screen with clamps
[01:39] <jordan_> ehc, Try ctrl+shift
[01:39] <Fryguy--> mabus: ?
[01:39] <Fryguy--> what do you mean much wider
[01:40] <ehc> jordan_, ctrl+shift doesn't work. I am running kde. could that have an effect on it?
[01:40] <rawrbert> i tried [startx] after [dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg] and i still get an error...
[01:41] <clearzen> rawrbert what is the error?
[01:41] <rawrbert> i didn't write it down =\ ...it was fatal 10 or soemthing
[01:41] <damaltor> hi there... anyone familiar with CUPS? i am wanting to install a printer with that webinterface on a pc in LAN. i can open the webinterface, and it works fine. if i wanted to add a printer, it redirected me to a https:// page, wich didnt load. i opened the cups.conf and commented "Encryption required". now i could do following steps: add printer - choose printer - select driver. if i now klick on ok, it redirects me to a ssl page again - a
[01:41] <damaltor> nd it still doesnt load. what can i do?
[01:42] <clearzen> rawrbert: what kind of video card do you have?
[01:42] <Nunes> Hi, I need to install Oracle 10 Express on Ubuntu 7.10
[01:42] <Fryguy--> rawrbert: we can't help you unless you tell us what is wrong
[01:42] <rawrbert> nvidia geforce 8600 GTS
[01:42] <Nunes> Does anyone knows how to do it?
[01:42] <Fryguy--> "fatal 10 or something" isn't exactly helpful
[01:42] <Fryguy--> Nunes: run the installer or whatever, just like you would on any other linux system
[01:42] <rawrbert> heh sorry i'll write it down
[01:43] <Nunes> I cannot download it from Oracle page
[01:43] <clearzen> rawrbert: I would say without spefics run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and try again
[01:43] <Nunes> I need to be logged in, wget does not allows me to do that
[01:43] <Jordan_U> Nunes, Why can't you use a browser to get the download?
[01:43] <rawrbert> alright ty, and ill write it down if it happens.
[01:44] <Nunes> I can on Mac, but I cannot pass it to my Ubuntu machine
[01:44] <Nunes> it is a server, only command line
[01:44] <Fryguy--> Nunes: ?
[01:45] <Nunes> I am using Ubuntu 7.10 server
[01:45] <Nunes> I have only command line, cannot browse a page
[01:45] <Jordan_U> Nunes, You can use scp
[01:45] <Fryguy--> Nunes: so then download it using command line tools such as wget, or transfer it from one machine to another using 1 of dozens of protocols designed for that purpose
[01:45] <Nunes> intersting
[01:45] <Nunes> I will try it
[01:45] <derelicked> Nunes: wget http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle10g/xe/10201/oracle-xe-universal_<IP_ADDRESS>-1.0_i386.deb
[01:46] <derelicked> Nunes:actually that won't work
[01:46] <derelicked> Nunes: haha, you'd better use a browser
[01:46] <varsendaggr> nikrud: where do you come up with dns nameserver or the static ip info?
[01:47] <nikrud> varsendaggr: that's OpenDNS.org
[01:48] <derelicked> Nunes: maybe use a usb drive
[01:48] <Nunes> derelicked: thanks, I will try scp
[01:49] <Digi> I was wondering if anyone knew of a app like dvdshrink for ubuntu?
[01:49] <vladanian> Hey guys. I'm running ubuntu and I want to control the font that kde4 apps use. Does anyone here know where I set that?
[01:50] <Nunes> Digi: try Handbrake
[01:50] <Digi> thanks

[01:50] <billy___> how do i use the networks manager after using ndiswrapper instead of using the terminal to configure my wirelss?
[01:51] <Karsyth> can someone help me get my sound working again? it just randomly went out and i get this error "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found". ive already tried installing from the ALSA's website instructions and they didnt work
[01:51] <derelicked> vladanian: install the package "kcontrol" and then run "kcontrol" rom the terminal
[01:51] <Karsyth> i do remember that i had this problem before and what fixed it was installing 2 files that were named something along the lines of alsa-1.sh and alsa-2.sh
[01:51] <vladanian> derelicked: I believe that kcontrol only controls KDE3

[01:52] <RoC_MasterMind> My SMARTD fails to start on one of my systems.  My config matches another system that is working, and I don't see a log file for smartd in /var/log....how can I troubleshoot this?
[01:52] <sunstreaker> wow, 1208 people in this channel
[01:52] <vladanian> derelicked: Yes, my font is set how I want it in kcontrol, but that only is applying to kde3 apps
[01:52] <mithraic> Any suggestions for what to do with randr --orientation crashing my machine?
[01:53] <M1dn1ght> Hey guys I'm afraid the noapic option didn't fix the problem.  Thanks anyway for thw advice though!  Is there any way to request that support my hardware is included in the next release?
[01:53] <derelicked> vladanian: ah, sorry, didn't see the 4... have you tried the comman "qtconfig-qt4" ?
[01:53] <unstable> I printed something to the wrong printer, and the document is gone and I don't have access to it. It's still in my printer queue though, how can I change my printer job in the queue to another printer that does work?
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> M1dn1ght, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[01:53] <vladanian> derelicked: Yes, and there's an option to set fonts in there, but my settings there are not applying
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> M1dn1ght, Is that what you did already
[01:54] <Nunes> Fryguy--: .deb are ok with Ubuntu, correct?
[01:54] <bruenig> Nunes: that is the package format of dpkg which is what ubuntu uses
[01:54] <bruenig> whether a specific deb is ok is dependent on it
[01:54] <Nunes> ok ,thanks!
[01:54] <vladanian> derelicked: The font setting works for qtconfig-qt4 itself, but not for any other kde4 apps
[01:55] <Nunes> bruenig: ok, thanks
[01:56] <Karsyth> can someone help me get my sound working again? it just randomly went out and i get this error "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found". ive already tried installing from the ALSA's website instructions and they didnt work

[01:57] <vladanian> derelicked: I'll keep digging... thanks
[01:58] <tbwnoob> but it didnt download it for me
[01:58] <reznark> sudo apt-get install wine?
[01:58] <derelicked> vladanian: ah ok, the last time I used Semantik it was purely QT4, not KDE4
[01:58] <tbwnoob> okay
[01:58] <tbwnoob> thanks

[01:59] <reznark> you in tucson?
[01:59] <MidgetSpy> is there a way to downgrade from 8.04 to 7.10?
[02:00] <rawrbert> i get that after i [dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg] and [dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg] and i try to startx
[02:00] <Karsyth> is there an alsa / sound channel?
[02:00] <clearzen> rawrbert: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[02:01] <metaljim> how many of you 7.10 users are having trouble with apps freezing?  is this a fairly common "break in" problem?
[02:01] <rawrbert> ok ty
[02:01] <tritium> metaljim: no, not at all
[02:01] <Karsyth> how do i see a list of channels?
[02:02] <metaljim> hmm.  ok.  time for more research
[02:02] <solexious> [Q] How can i view all installed in synaptic pacakage manager?
[02:02] <node357> Karsyth: /list
[02:03] <tbwnoob> will the wine that i get from  sudo apt-get install wine run 3d games
[02:03] <Karsyth> thanks node357
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> metaljim, Not common..  Have you changed or added repos.. installed things using scripts like envy or automatix.. (Both bad ideas
[02:03] <node357> :)
[02:03] <node357> tbwnoob: it should run some Windows games that use OpenGL for graphics, like Half Life or Unreal
[02:03] <tbwnoob> okay
[02:03] <clearzen> tbwnoob: depends on the game
[02:04] <tbwnoob> how do i parttion my drive with parted
[02:04] <solexious> [Q] How can i view a list of all packages installed in synaptic pacakage manager? *reword*
[02:04] <tbwnoob> it says it cant find the drive even when im in root
[02:04] <metaljim> jack_sparrow, i did install envy (since i am using an nvidia graphics card), but honestly i'm a total ubuntu noob, so i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing sometimes.
[02:04] <clearzen> tbwnoob: use gparted. much more simple
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[02:04] <ubotu> envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[02:04] <tbwnoob> i installed it

[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> tbwnoob, from cli sudo gparted
[02:07] <metaljim> just to be sure, is there a "new ubuntu user" channel?  i wanna make sure to go to the right places.

[02:12] <mad_max02> CJS3141, then just update the one u have
[02:12] <mad_max02> <IP_ADDRESS> is the default in gutsy
[02:12] <CJS3141> 7.10?
[02:12] <mad_max02> just update it
[02:12] <clearzen> bruenig: yes it is
[02:12] <mad_max02> run update and update it
[02:12] <mad_max02> CJS3141, sudo apt-get update ???
[02:13] <derelicked> CJS3141: click system>>administration>>update-manager
[02:13] <mad_max02> and then updates notification will pop up :D
[02:13] <macabro22> bruenig it's a .cue cd image file
[02:13] <shirish> guys again, is there a way to install a .deb file with dpkg into a user specified location
[02:13] <CJS3141> oh... I can't use the add/remove GUI? I have to use the command line?
[02:13] <bruenig> !iso | macabro22 convert it
[02:13] <ubotu> macabro22 convert it: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[02:13] <derelicked> CJS3141: you don't have to use the command line, just click system>>administration>>update-manager
[02:13] <shirish> sudo dpkg -i (some option) somedeb.deb
[02:14] <mad_max02> CJS3141, do what darelicked just typed
[02:14] <CJS3141> OK thanks hang on!
[02:14] <derelicked> CJS3141: if you check for updates, it will automatically get the newer version of firefox and some other programs
[02:14] <tbwnoob> okay
[02:14] <bluecake> how to install 'terminal short cut' on right click?
[02:14] <tbwnoob> i got the drives up
[02:14] <macabro22> bruenig: thax
[02:14] <tbwnoob> now which one do i make bigger for more saving space
[02:15] <AkieAkieyes`VS`A> mmh..
[02:15] <tbwnoob> ntfs?
[02:15] <macabro22> bruenig: thanks
[02:15] <eromero> is there a way to tell the automounter to mount usb keys always at the same place
[02:15] <CJS3141> I checked for updates, and it claimed everything is up to date!
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> tbwnoob, Before resizing ntfs partitions, defrag (Twice)  seriously
[02:15] <tbwnoob> iom trying to edit my parttins for more saving space and im in gparted with the drives up which do i edit
[02:16] <tbwnoob> ok
[02:16] <tbwnoob> how do i defrag
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> do not edit mounted drives
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> defrag in Windows
[02:16] <tbwnoob> really
[02:16] <tbwnoob> damn
[02:16] <derelicked> CJS3141: OK, then first click system>>administration>>software-sources, and make sure there is a good server under "Download From"
[02:16] <aks_> hello
[02:16] <tbwnoob> i dont have windows
[02:16] <Gopher> I have a trouble printing on a Windows networked printer... in booting windows it's second nature right there...but on nix with samba i can't even find it
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> !defrag
[02:17] <ubotu> The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[02:17] <tbwnoob> i have wine
[02:17] <tbwnoob> okay
[02:17] <tbwnoob> so i dont need to defrag?
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> tbwnoob: thats the just of it.
[02:17] <clearzen> tbwnoob: not with ext3 filesystems
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> tbwnoob: your windows drive, maybe, not w/ ext3
[02:17] <tbwnoob> okay
[02:17] <aks_> I've just downgraded to Edgy so that I can get the right ATI driver (install on 7.10 didn't work) and now would like to upgrade again; any ideas whether the driver will be kept?
[02:17] <tbwnoob> so what do i do now
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> tbwnoob: what are you tryikng to do?
[02:18] <metaljim> ha, got pidgin to work with this.  i know, impressive huh?
[02:18] <tbwnoob> make more saving space
[02:18] <derelicked> aks_: if you change versions, of course you will lose the old driver
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> aks_: maybe..,
[02:18] <CJS3141> thanks derelicked... hang on...
[02:18] <crotte> Hi, I justed installed ubuntu and the apps are start slowly. So I ran hdparm to verify my hard disk speed: Timing buffered disk reads:   10 MB in  3.05 seconds =   3.28 MB/sec is this fast enought?
[02:18] <metaljim> so, once again, just to make sure i'm in the right place, there's no "new user" channel is there?
[02:18] <Fryguy--> crotte: that is very very slow
[02:18] <Hammer89> Grrr... anyone know why firestarter is running even after I uninstalled it? (I uninstalled it... then pressed ctrl-alt-backspace... logged in... but it was still ruining my ability to SSH into my laptop from my iPod [don't ask :P])
[02:19] <aks_> derelicked: but in fact it's the newest driver that supports my card (Mob. Radeon 9000)
[02:19] <crotte> fryguy: this is my problem?
[02:19] <Fryguy--> crotte: possibly
[02:19] <tbwnoob> ?
[02:19] <clearzen> tbwnoob: what is the filesystem of the drive you wish to make larger? what is the filsystem of the drive you are taking from?
[02:19] <tbwnoob> ntfs
[02:19] <tbwnoob> ?
[02:19] <tbwnoob> thats the biggest one
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> tbwnoob: use Windows to defrag the drive if you feel the need, then use gparted to partition the drive.
[02:19] <tbwnoob> in dev/sda
[02:19] <tbwnoob> but it wont let me now
[02:20] <tbwnoob> the resize option isnt there
[02:20] <crotte> fryguy: what is today's standard?
[02:20] <derelicked> aks_: I know, you're probably "Alexander_" and I'm int_main. And if you want the 8.28 driver, you have to be using ubuntu 6.10 ... there is no way around it, and if you upgrade the distro, everything else, including the driver, will have tto upgrade as well
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> crotte, Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst remove Quiet and Splash from the command line.
[02:20] <DnOberon> I don't know if any of you remember me but I had trouble with my cd iso. I tried burning it slower, way slower and on diffrent media. Tried downloading again just to make sure that the ISO's weren't corrupt from the start. At the beginning of the text install it gives me about 10 IO errors on my cd drive, would this contribute to the disc not reading well?
[02:20] <tbwnoob> and they are all locked
[02:20] <Fryguy--> crotte: my drive does read speeds of around 250MB/s
[02:20] <clearzen> Hammer89: sudo kill all firestater && /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:20] <clearzen> Hammer89: sudo kill all firestater && sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:20] <Hammer89>  clearzen: it wont bug me at all after that?
[02:20] <dpt> Hi
[02:21] <bruenig> killall is oen word
[02:21] <bruenig> one word*
[02:21] <aks_> derelicked: hi there; ah I see
[02:21] <clearzen> my bad
[02:21] <metaljim> i know this is a very vague question, but what would be causing 7.10 to to freeze?  where should a noob begin troubleshooting?
[02:21] <dpt> if I'm making an exact copy of my running linux to an other partition so that i can run it later, what folder should NOT be copied?
[02:21] <aks_> derelicked: then I guess this is really the highest version this laptop will be able to run
[02:21] <Fryguy--> metaljim: where does it freeze?
[02:21] <crotte> jack_sparrow: are these windows effets?
[02:21] <Fryguy--> dpt: none
[02:21] <tbwnoob> how can i get these drives to unlock
[02:21] <derelicked> aks_: pretty much, yes, if you want any video acceleration...
[02:21] <dpt> that means i can copy proc, dev?
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> crotte, I thought you were slow to boot..
[02:22] <dpt> the content of those folders should also be copied?
[02:22] <Fryguy--> dpt: you can, yes
[02:22] <dpt> ok, thanks!
[02:22] <dsprague> anyone know of any problems where 8.04 gnome does not show window borders at all?  i.e. can't resize/move windows.  Config is geforce4 mx 420 with an IBM L200P monitor.  Any ideas?   I'm using the nvidia restricted drivers
[02:22] <aks_> derelicked: I guess I'll have to live with that - thanks again
[02:22] <clearzen> tbwnoob: are they mounted?
[02:22] <tanner> is there a way to force a prompt before control+alt+backspace is executed?
[02:22] <Fryguy--> dsprague: wrong channel, join #ubuntu+1 for hardy issuees
[02:22] <DnOberon> if I make a usb drive bootable, and extract the ubuntu iso to it, could I use that to install ?
[02:22] <tbwnoob> yea
[02:22] <tbwnoob> except one
[02:22] <derelicked> aks_: it's ATI's fault! *shakes fist*
[02:22] <Fryguy--> tanner: no
[02:22] <tbwnoob> that is ntfs
[02:22] <Gopher> I have a trouble printing on a Windows networked printer... in booting windows it's second nature right there...but on nix with samba i can't even find it
[02:22] <metaljim> fryguy: anywhere.  it always freezes if firefox or opera tries to play a youtube video, but it will randomly freeze as well, either when totally idle, or when opening a juk window, etc.  that's what is confusing me.
[02:22] <tbwnoob> should i format that one to fat
[02:22] <Ziroda1> dsprague: 8.04 in #ubuntu+1 please
[02:23] <Fryguy--> metaljim: so it boots fine?
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > DnOberon
[02:23] <Tmcarr89> help
[02:23] <tbwnoob> should i format the ntfs drive to fat
[02:23] <clearzen> tbwnoob: you cannot resize a ntfs partition in linux. as far as I know
[02:23] <Ezra> dsprague: you have to add a couple if lines in your xorg.conf file
[02:23] <DnOberon> ?
[02:23] <Fryguy--> metaljim: anything in /var/log that might lead to the problem? has the hardware been tested?
[02:23] <metaljim> fryguy: yes. it boots fine (pretty quickly too).
[02:23] <dsprague> thx...my first IRC experience :-)
[02:23] <crotte> jack_sparrow: I really think that my hard disk is too slow... the apps take ages to load... ubuntu ran faster from the live boot CD
[02:23] <metaljim> fryguy: sorry, but i really don't know what you mean there!
[02:23] <tbwnoob> but i can format it to fat
[02:24] <tbwnoob> will that help
[02:24] <metanil> what is the best way to check password in ubuntu using C language??
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> crotte, odd  not sure
[02:24] <Fryguy--> metaljim: look in /var/log for useful messages in your logs.  If you dont' find anything that suggests a problem, test your hardware (notably your memory, using memtest86), as it sounds like a hardware issue
[02:24] <Ziroda1> tbwnoob: You can resize you NTFS drive to have two partitions, one for windows, one for linux
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> metanil, What do you mean by check password
[02:24] <Tmcarr89> Anyone know how to get a "godaddy" certificate in Ubuntu?
[02:24] <Fryguy--> metanil: what password?
[02:24] <tbwnoob> i dont want windows
[02:24] <tbwnoob> i have another hd for that
[02:25] <icesword> he want crack
[02:25] <icesword> want to
[02:25] <metaljim> ok, i'll give it a shot!  just to make sure, is there anything in particular to watch out for?
[02:25] <metanil> system password
[02:25] <Sandra24> maybe you guys can help me, I want to create an account on my server for a friend, so I created a user with useradd and gave him a home directory, but I notice this user can still read all the system files in /bin, /etc, and so on
[02:25] <aks_> any good guides on getting hibernate to work in Edgy?
[02:25] <metanil> one in /etc/shadow
[02:25] <Fryguy--> metanil: there is no "system password" in ubuntu.  You'll have to be more specific
[02:25] <aks_> ubotu doesn't seem to have any pointeres
[02:25] <clearzen> tbwnoob: fat you can work with but not ntfs
[02:25] <Ziroda1> tbwnoob: Then you can just use the entire disk, under install go to Guided Install -> Use entire disk
[02:25] <tbwnoob> i know
[02:25] <ngabriel> please help.  I'm trying to mount a samba share and i cannot get it to mount with write permissions.  I have writeable=yes in smb.conf and i've mounted with using cifs using dir_mode=0777 and file_mode=0777 and that still does not work.  What am i missing?
[02:25] <seismicmike> hi guys
[02:25] <tbwnoob> but i didn
[02:25] <tbwnoob> t so im in gparttion
[02:26] <metanil> there should be some function like getspnam to check the shadow password.. isn't it?
[02:26] <Sandra24> I would prefer if my friend cannot read all my config files, how do I limit the user?
[02:26] <octoberdan> I tried enabling DMA and putting UltraDMA to mode2 on my dvd device, but when I try to mplayer dvd:// I'm getting chopy video that cuts in and out and is sometimes scrambled
[02:26] <tbwnoob> im going to format it to fat32
[02:26] <metanil> Fryguy, there should be some function like getspnam to check the shadow password.. isn't it?
[02:26] <Fryguy--> metanil: passwords in /etc/shadow are stored using md5 hash I think in ubuntu (varies from distro to distro).  just ask for password, hash it, and compare to result in shadow
[02:26] <tbwnoob> then use it
[02:26] <octoberdan> I'm on gutsy
[02:26] <Fryguy--> metanil: yes.  And this is the wrong channel to be asking questions like this.  This is an ubuntu specific help channel
[02:26] <tbwnoob> maybe format to ext 3?
[02:26] <octoberdan> and when I play the video I get "a52: CRC check failed!"
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> octoberdan, sounds like you have an ati card and composite enabled in the xorg.conf
[02:26] <derelicked> aks_: when you hibernate, you system crashes?
[02:27] <metanil> Fryguy: oh oh.. any specific channel?
[02:27] <seismicmike> I'm having trouble with my mp3 player
[02:27] <Fryguy--> metanil: no idea, ##linux might be able to point you in a better direction
[02:27] <metanil> Fryguy, thanks
[02:27] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: Someone suggested I use the free driver instead of the restricted, but I'm already using the free driver
[02:27] <aks_> derelicked: yes, it goes back to an x login and then hangs
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> octoberdan, sounds like you have an ati card and composite enabled in the xorg.conf
[02:27] <bobby> hello, when i try to boot ubuntu, it just hangs. there is this trying to resume message when i do ctrl+alt+f1. what option do i pass to the kernel to stop trying to resume
[02:27] <bobby> ?
[02:27] <metaljim> fryguy: i'm looking in /var/log and i'm a bit lost!  what should i be looking at/for?  thank you!
[02:28] <Fryguy--> metaljim: anything out of the ordinary
[02:28] <Fryguy--> errors, etc
[02:28] <derelicked> aks_: yeah, fglrx is famous for that. sorry :(
[02:28] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: I do have an ati card. So I should just disable composite in xorg.conf and restart X?
[02:28] <Fryguy--> metaljim: most things in there are going to be timestamped, so look through the logs at or around the time your system freezes
[02:28] <aks_> derelicked: heh
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> octoberdan, yes, that will fix video but lose effects until you install one other xgl
[02:28] <aks_> derelicked: I've heard that there are altenrative programs for that
[02:28] <seismicmike> I can't copy files onto my mp3 player even though I have full write permission on the drive
[02:29] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: I don't think I have any effects to lose... and if I did I wouldn't care.
[02:29] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: How do I disable it?
[02:29] <derelicked> aks_: alternatives for what?
[02:29] <aks_> derelicked: suspend to disk
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> octoberdan, gksudo gedit /etc/X11xorg.conf
[02:29] <metaljim> wow, this is all greek to me.  i'll try the memtest86 first.  thanks man.
[02:29] <seismicmike> any ideas?
[02:29] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: sudo emacs ;-). I'm there, not seeing a composite option
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> octoberdan, If you need more help do this  sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[02:30] <Sandra24> I created a user with useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser, but the user can read everything in /*, how can I make a very limited user that's restricted to their home dir?
[02:30] <insomninja> seismicmike, do you get any error messages?
[02:30] <octoberdan> Oh, awesome program
[02:30] <seismicmike> nope
[02:30] <seismicmike> it just hangs
[02:30] <seismicmike> and kinda freezes
[02:30] <seismicmike> it's really weird
[02:31] <Fryguy--> Sandra24: without doing jails or chroot stuff, that wouldn't be very useful (they wouldn't be able to run programs)
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > seismicmike
[02:31] <Scunizi> Anyone use Openoffice and attach it to mysql.. if so How easy was it?
[02:31] <ramseize> how can i update my fiesty to a new ubuntu distro
[02:31] <amenado> Scunizi-> its not overly difficult, make sure you have the jdbc for mysql
[02:31] <seismicmike> sorry?
[02:32] <derelicked> aks_: you did try the "radeon" driver, right?
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:32] <insomninja> I'd try doing it in the terminal, something like cp /home/seismicmike/music/x.mp3 /media/mp3mountpoint
[02:32] <Fryguy--> ramseize: just google upgrading ubuntu to gutsy, the first like 5 results should be useful and provide step by step directions
[02:32] <octoberdan> http://paste.stgraber.org/1620
[02:32] <Ashfire908> does anyone know what package provides the program "makeinfo"?
[02:32] <Sandra24> Fryguy: I want something more like commondity web hosts do, maybe I'm going about it wrong
[02:32] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.stgraber.org/1620
[02:32] <icesword> ramseize, download gutsy alternate cd ,
[02:32] <aks_> derelicked: I did on 7.10, though I don't know if I tried suspending while it was running
[02:32] <Scunizi> amenado, what's jdbc?  really new at database's and such.. I thought using OOo would be easier for data entry form development. am I right?
[02:32] <seismicmike> I tried it from a terminal and it seemed to work, but when I went to eject the drive, it asked me if I wanted to empty the trash, which I did, and then the files weren't on the player
[02:33] <gaucho> hi! everytime my girlfriend visit me I need to reset all my configurations to hide my secret files, clear my navigation history and recent documents... Is there a easy solution to me? Which files I can't forget to delete???
[02:33] <derelicked> aks_: what was bad about the "radeon" driver?
[02:33] <Fryguy--> Sandra24: i'd imagine most of those sites are doing chrooted environments, bsd jails, or virtual machines.  Ubuntu wasn't really designed to be run this way
[02:33] <aks_> derelicked: no acceleration
[02:33] <icesword> gaucho, hahahah,why do you need to do that
[02:33] <derelicked> aks_: ah, it seemed laggy?
[02:33] <amenado> Scunizi-> JDBC  java data base connector.. each database has its own version to connect to the respective db engine
[02:33] <icesword> gaucho, you work for CIA?
[02:34] <Scunizi> amenado, ah.. ok.. that makes sense.. thanks.
[02:34] <aks_> derelicked: yes, and I can only guess that hibernation would not work for it
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> !upgrade |ram
[02:34] <ubotu> ram: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:34] <gaucho> no.. but I see some files that she don't like..
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> !upgrade | ramseize
[02:34] <ubotu> ramseize: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:34] <insomninja> seismicmike, hmm, I'd try copying, and then after a while check the output of dmesg in a terminal to see if any error messages turns up
[02:34] <clearzen> gaucho: truecrypt is your friend
[02:34] <octoberdan> gaucho: Breakup with your psycho controling needy insecure girlfriend
[02:34] <octoberdan> gaucho: That's a quick fix
[02:34] <icesword> gaucho, delete them
[02:34] <bazhang> ramseize: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[02:34] <octoberdan> gaucho: sudo apt-get remove girlfriend
[02:34] <Sandra24> Fryguy: ahhhh. Maybe what I want isn't a user, just more like an ftp setup that's limited to one directory. But I'd prefer scp, if possible. Can I do that?
[02:34] <octoberdan> ;-)
[02:35] <icesword> hehhehe
[02:35] <prince_jammys> gaucho: encrypt your secret files
[02:35] <gaucho> hahahaha
[02:35] <aks_> hmm anyone familiar with s2disk?
[02:35] <gaucho> hmm.. good!
[02:35] <clearzen> Sandra24: yes, fairly easy
[02:35] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: Anything stick out?
[02:35] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: What should I change?
[02:35] <gaucho> and what about xchat, pidgin, firefox, nautilus and another programs logs.. is there a easy way?
[02:35] <icesword> i say why creat a hidden partition ,stores all secrets there
[02:35] <amenado> gaucho give her another account she can toy with if she can not toy with yours
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> octoberdan, http://paste.stgraber.org/1622               Make a backup.. log out and in  If you dont know how to change it back if it does not work.. just ask
[02:36] <metaljim> ok, stupid question: i just DL'd memtest86 and extracted it, but i can't find it!  think i did something wrong?  or am i not looking hard enough?
[02:36] <Fryguy--> metaljim: probably in your home directory
[02:36] <octoberdan> Jack_Sparrow: I do, thank you.
[02:36] <prince_jammys> gaucho: you could make a script that removes all the log files
[02:36] <Sandra24> clearzen: Oh, that's excellent, can you help me get started please or point me in the right direction?
[02:36] <ngabriel> can anyone tell me what i need todo in order to mount a samba share with write permissions?  I've tried smbfs and cifs
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> octoberdan, Lets see how it goes
[02:36] <prince_jammys> gaucho: just find what the files are and "rm"
[02:37] <icesword> not really,recover is possible
[02:37] <octoberdan> wget http://paste.stgraber.org/download/1622 :-)
[02:37] <seismicmike> ok, I just tried it from terminal and the process hung
[02:37] <icesword> prince_jammys, what about create a hidden partition
[02:37] <prince_jammys> icesword: heh, overkill
[02:38] <seismicmike> I don't get it... the drive has all the exact same settings as my USB thumb drive which works perfectly fine
[02:38] <icesword> hnmmm?i don't get it
[02:38] <derelicked> aks_: I wonder if you've read the following thread from 4 days ago... Rocket2DMn claims he got your exact card working great with the "ati" driver on the newest ubuntu... and he posts his xorg.conf as an example...: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=721661
[02:38] <octoberdan> Alright, I'll be right back
[02:38] <Tixer__> How can I get an application to display on a different X display?
[02:38] <prince_jammys> icesword: not necessary
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ok
[02:38] <clearzen> Sandra24: you want to use ssh right
[02:38] <gaucho> I can't find truecrypt on synaptic.. using all the repositories for gutsy amd64
[02:39] <Ashfire908> does anyone know what package provides the program "makeinfo"?
[02:39] <insomninja> seismicmike, what if you open another terminal for the dmesg command?
[02:39] <prince_jammys> !info mcrypt | gaucho
[02:39] <ubotu> gaucho: mcrypt (source: mcrypt): Replacement for old unix crypt(1). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.4-3.2ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 64 kB, installed size 264 kB
[02:39] <clearzen> Sandra24: do you want them to have shell access or just access to files?
[02:39] <bazhang> http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php gaucho
[02:39] <gaucho> cool!
[02:40] <icesword> is it crackable
[02:40] <prince_jammys> if she can crack it, she's talented
[02:40] <Sandra24> clearzen: just to let the user upload/alter files via something like winscp is enough, but I gather that means ssh
[02:40] <Tmcarr89> Anyone heard of a godaddy certificate?
[02:40] <metaljim> is there a general hardware test i can try to make sure i'm not having any other problems with my PC vs. Ubuntu?
[02:40] <clearzen> icesword: yeah if you have phyiscal access and some liquid nitrogen
[02:40] <seismicmike> hold on.......
[02:41] <clearzen> Sandra24: yes it does, one sec
[02:41] <seismicmike> if I type tail dmesg it'll give me a running update, right?
[02:41] <Fryguy--> truecrypt is crackable only if quantum computers become readily available, or p=np gets proven, or you use insecure practices.  Truecrypt in itself is very secure.  How you choose to implement it might not be
[02:41] <Fryguy--> seismicmike: tail -f for that
[02:41] <prince_jammys> gaucho: would these secret files be, for example, movies?
[02:41] <bazhang> heh
[02:42] <rohit> hi, I accidentally deleted my Pictures folder and it got removed from the Places menu. How do I get it back?
[02:42] <prince_jammys> because encrypting big files is pretty annoying
[02:42] <insomninja> rohit, drag it
[02:42] <icesword> prince_jammys, hehhe,i got what you mean
[02:42] <Fryguy--> prince_jammys: i'd be surprised if you noticed you were using truecrypt for doing encryption
[02:42] <RoAkSoAx>  hello, does anyone knows if there are any dependencies error in Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn mysql package?
[02:42] <dsprague> thx Jordan_U   you were right, disabled compiz, all working well.
[02:42] <insomninja> rohit, that is, find it where it lies with nautilus, and drag the folder to the places space to the left
[02:43] <derelicked> rohit: in the file explorer, make a folder called Pictures, and then go in it, and go to bookmarks>>add-bookmark
[02:43] <Fryguy--> RoAkSoAx: no there isn't
[02:43] <RoAkSoAx> Fryguy-- do you know if there is anyproblem with the package?
[02:43] <Fryguy--> RoAkSoAx: there isn't
[02:43] <seismicmike> ok I'm going to do $ sudo cp fame.mp3 /media/mp3/fame.mp3 and see what happens
[02:43] <Fryguy--> any why aren't you using the latest version of ubuntu
[02:44] <jumpkick> Does Audacity crash for anyone else loading large wave files on Gutsy/AMD64?
[02:44] <RoAkSoAx> Fryguy--: so why do i get this error wen trying to install it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59889/
[02:44] <tux97> hello where do you go to browse networks in here at?
[02:44] <aks_> derelicked: judging by the xorg.conf, Rocket2DMn's card is actually slightly different: it is the FireGL R250, the Mobiity Radeon 9000 is RS300M (the one I have at least)
[02:44] <tomcatt__> are there any links to make a NAS our of ubuntu?
[02:45] <rohit> derelicked: its adding it to places in nautilus but not to the Places Menu in gnome panel
[02:45] <seismicmike> process hung.... dmesg says:
[02:45] <aks_> derelicked: don't know how significant the differences are; by newest ubuntu do you mean 7.10?

[02:45] <clearzen> Sandra24: it seems like you want sshfs. Do you have to be able to access the shares via windows machines?
[02:45] <Fryguy--> metaljim: memtest86
[02:45] <Gopher> i really hate to keep reiterating this question... but about the samba printer issue?
[02:45] <RoAkSoAx> Fryguy--: ok thanks
[02:45] <Gopher> i have a printer shared on my network on a windows computer on the network, and ubuntu isn't picking anything up
[02:45] <seismicmike> oops.... sorry about that guys....
[02:46] <seismicmike> new to the process and all...
[02:46] <Gopher> however on windows its blatantly shared across the whole thing
[02:46] <metaljim> fryguy: i DL'd it, found it, but i really don't know how to run it.  sorry if i'm bothering you
[02:46] <Fryguy--> you burn it to a CD and boot from the CD
[02:46] <metaljim> oh
[02:46] <Fryguy--> or just reboot your computer and select memtest86 from the options in the menu
[02:46] <Fryguy--> since it's already set up to be available
[02:46] <metaljim> ah
[02:46] <metaljim> ok.  thank you!
[02:46] <Fryguy--> try reading the documentation next time, instead of just downloading the file and being like "oh it doesn't work" :(
[02:46] <kesi> hi all:  I am having input device problems under gutsy.   It's acting like I have stuck keys or lag, but I don't have this problem in Windows, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
[02:47] <kesi> it's an inspiron laptop
[02:47] <Sandra24> clearzen: yes, has to work on windows
[02:47] <metaljim> the documentation made no sense to me.  jsut figured i'd ask
[02:47] <citra_cutez> Gadis lugu
[02:47] <rohit> derelicked: any ideas?
[02:47] <eromero> is there a way to rename the usb key when it's mounted... right now the name under /mount/ is the same as the name of the key
[02:48] <eromero> is there a way to have it always be usbkey
[02:48] <clearzen> Sandra24: More than likely you will have to setup a chroot/jail enviroment. That could take time. I could provide you with a link or two if you wanted.
[02:48] <derelicked> aks_: ah, now that you mention it, hee seems to be using hardy (the one that will be used in April). Unlike the official proprietary drivers, the open source ones get BETTER support with time, rather than removing it....
[02:48] <seismicmike> what I tried to paste is here (I think): http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59891/
[02:48] <Kanja> Hey, I'm hitting a wierd bug when trying to install the propriatary nvidia drivers - anyone have any experiance with them?
[02:48] <danbhfive> Kanja: whats the bug?
[02:48] <Fryguy--> Kanja: be more specific
[02:49] <Sandra24> clearzen: I have to go, thank you for your help. I'll leave this up, if you have something link or info that would help get me started, or even just a name of the technology involved like sshfs, please post it to me here, I'll read it when I return. Thanks again.
[02:49] <tomcatt__> are there any links to make a NAS our of ubuntu?
[02:49] <Kanja> when using the nvidia drivers (as opposed to nv) my comp is hard freezing right after the drivers are loaded
[02:49] <clearzen> Sandra24: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=128206
[02:49] <aks_> derelicked: honestly, I'm not willing to try now that 6.10 is working, the process is very nerve-wrecking
[02:49] <Kanja> if they were working, it would be right when the logo pops up
[02:49] <Kanja> I've gotten the drivers working before
[02:49] <Fryguy--> tomcatt__: if all you are looking for is a NAS, there are far better solutions than using ubuntu for that, that are easier to configure, and to maintain
[02:50] <Gopher99> i have a printer shared on my network on a windows computer on the network, and ubuntu isn't picking anything up
[02:50] <derelicked> rohit: interesting. i thought the nautilus bookmarks and the places in the panel were connected
[02:50] <Kanja> but I just formmatted over to 7.10 from .04
[02:50] <boselecta> i can get wireless working when the router is wide open with no security and is broadcasting the SSID, but i can't get it to work under WPA or WPA2 modes. any advice?
[02:50] <danbhfive> Kanja: formatted over?
[02:50] <Kanja> before I could use the "install restricted drivers" and now thats not working
[02:50] <rohit> derelicked: can you try on your machine to bookmark some random folder and see if it shows up?
[02:50] <Kanja> Yeah, clean install
[02:50] <Kanja> wiped the drive
[02:50] <Fryguy--> Kanja: why would you do that? ubuntu upgrades in place just fine
[02:50] <danbhfive> Kanja: so its just a clean install
[02:50] <derelicked> aks_: yeah, fair enough.
[02:50] <Kanja> yeah
[02:50] <Ashfire908> does anyone know what package provides the program "makeinfo"?
[02:51] <derelicked> rohit: i did try it, and it worked
[02:51] <Kanja> I had a lot of crap, wanted to get rid of it
[02:51] <Kanja> (windows xp)
[02:51] <seismicmike> I updated it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59892/
[02:51] <rohit> derelicked: oh it worked just now. It just didn't update
[02:51] <Kanja> so yeah, a clean install
[02:51] <rohit> derelicked: thanks so much
[02:51] <derelicked> rohit: no problem
[02:52] <jumpkick> hi, I'm trying to create a podcast from a 600MB wave file...  can anyone suggest a good app for editing a wave of that size? (audacity crashes on it, vlc can play it fine though)
[02:52] <kjp2> I'm struggling with creating an ubuntu install patch stick. anyone have a url on how? (using grub) ?
[02:52] <boselecta> anyone? wireless works without security, but fails when WPA2 is turned on?
[02:52] <clearzen> Sandra24: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[02:52] <clearzen> boselecta: a lot ( most) of the drivers don't support wpa2
[02:52] <aks_> derelicked: thanks again for the help
[02:52] <Insobox> bose: have you tried it with any other types of security
[02:53] <Insobox> WPA2 has problems as said above.
[02:53] <boselecta> clearzen: how about WPA?\
[02:53] <mzide> i have a problem running flash in opera.. how to fix this?
[02:53] <tomcatt__> Fryguy:  okay.  thanks
[02:53] <Kanja> anyone have any ideas? I've tried installing directly from the nvidia site, from envy and using the restricted drivers manager
[02:53] <eromero> is there a way to rename the usb key when it's mounted... right now the name under /mount/ is the same as the name of the key is there a way to make it always /mount/usbkey
[02:53] <danbhfive> Kanja: sorry, i dont know myself, I would make sure you are uptodate before enabling the drivers
[02:53] <clearzen> boselecta: it's better with WPA but still not 100% unfortunatly
[02:53] <derelicked> aks_: it's ATI's fault! *shakes fist again*
[02:53] <Kanja> yeah... everythings updated
[02:53] <Fryguy--> mzide: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+flash+opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[02:53] <danbhfive> eromero: use fstab and UUIDs i believe
[02:53] <mzide> tanx
[02:53] <mzide> ill try
[02:54] <boselecta> clearzen: if the router is set to WPA2, can you configure the clients as WPA?
[02:54] <danbhfive> mzide: opera and flash were broken a few weeks ago, dont know what the current status is
[02:54] <eromero> but using fstab makes it not automount it when you connect and re-connect only at reboot
[02:54] <clearzen> boselecta: nope, you would have to set the router to WPA
[02:55] <danbhfive> eromero: are you sure?  it does it for cd-roms and such
[02:55] <mzide> flash in my firefox is ok but running it in opera is not working.. ill try the workaround from Fryguy
[02:56] <kjp2> what does the ubuntu.seed file do
[02:56] <seismicmike> I just looked in my terminal and in the one I typed the command it still has hung (hasn't returned to the prompt). I just did an ls in another terminal on the player and it lists the file. But Nautilus won't list the contents of the drive and I cannot unmount the volume because "an application (terminal)" is using it.
[02:57] <bmac2> I am having trouble with ubuntu and/or kubuntu installing on a dell poweredge server with dual processors.
[02:57] <bmac2> from what i see on line the squashfs is a known error with some dual processor machines
[02:57] <bmac2> I see a fix mentioned
[02:57] <clearzen> seismicmike: ctrl c should kill the process in the terminal that is hanging
[02:57] <bmac2> but nowhere do I find where that fix is, or what it is
[02:58] <bmac2> can someone give me a link, the boot switch, or something to get this to install?
[02:59] <bmac2> I have read everything that google could pull with no success
[02:59] <icesword> i have a question :how to fix bad point on a u disk?
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> bmac2, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[02:59] <Gopher99> I try to install this printer on my linux box. every windows computer on the entire network is picking it up, yet they dont even recognize the ubuntu box. "Supposedly" the Ubuntu box is in the same workgroup. However it also does not recognize the printer.
[03:00] <bmac2> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[03:00] <seismicmike> It's not responding... and even if I could is there anywhere I can check to see if there's some setting that's messed up? It just doesn't make sense to me that this works fine with windows but just won't work in Ubuntu - even though it has the same exact settings as my mp3 player.... Does anyone know of an possibilities? I refuse to beleive that there just isn't an explanation of this. It should just treat it like a USB drive.
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> bmac2, Just a place to start
[03:00] <Gopher99> My conclusion is that the Ubuntu box is not in the workgroup, and i have trouble putting it there
[03:00] <icesword> i have a question :how to fix bad point on a u disk?
[03:01] <kjp2> So grub boots the kernel and the initrd, but it's failing to find the root device, or progress past finding the cdrom drive when I boot from my thumbdrive
[03:01] <seismicmike> er.. sorry... it has the same exact settings as my mp3 player because it is my mp3 player. It also has the same exact settings as my USB flash drive that works perfectly with no problems whatsoever.
[03:01] <kjp2> any idea?

[03:02] <seismicmike> Samsung YP-U3
[03:02] <icesword> TrueNme, i think you need to mount it with a virtual drive

[03:02] <eromero> danbhfive: yep i just tried it
[03:03] <TrueNme> icesword how do i do that on linux
[03:03] <eromero> it doesn't seem to read that from fstab but from some place else
[03:03] <seismicmike> I've read all over the forums of people having trouble getting write access to it, but that's not my problem. I *should* have write access - at least it says I do and doesn't complain about it when I try to copy files. It just doesn't copy the files like a disobedient child! :)

[03:04] <must_Bow> I'm newbie on Ubuntu..
[03:04] <danbhfive> eromero: you can try sudo mount -a    and that will remount everything in your fstab file, according to the file.   You may just be formating the fstab file incorrectly
[03:05] <eromero> yep mount -a works
[03:05] <eromero> but automount at connect doesnt
[03:05] <must_Bow> I'm implementing LTPS on it..
[03:05] <eromero> apparently it doesn't create the folder automatically
[03:05] <seismicmike> um... don't think that was the right link... it looks like a dummy site
[03:05] <eromero> the mount point automatically
[03:05] <eromero> i mean
[03:05] <jmworx> (yay another X hang) did anyone respond to my last message?
[03:06] <must_Bow> when login from client... system says login incorret...
[03:06] <danbhfive> eromero: well, i dont think fstab creates the folders, in my experience, you have to create the folder first, then you can use them as mount points
[03:06] <must_Bow> anyone would like to help?
[03:06] <Scunizi> seismicmike, go to www.google.com/linux and type in yp-u3 and you'll see the link
[03:06] <eromero> danbhfive: yep, that's the problem i want to fix
[03:07] <Scunizi> seismicmike, should be the 3rd link down
[03:07] <danbhfive> eromero: can't you just create the folders beforehand?

[03:14] <irishwhistle> my question is this: All flash content in FF is jerky, I don't have the prob in Xubuntu, but I prefer Ubuntu. I've even tried in Failsafe on ubuntu and it doesn't make a difference. How should I fix this?
[03:14] <bazhang> !google | Fryguy--
[03:14] <ubotu> Fryguy--: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux:  http://google.com/linux
[03:14] <Fryguy--> bazhang: lol
[03:14] <Fryguy--> i knwo this
[03:14] <must_Bow> so where I should go?
[03:14] <mttr> help looking for a way to install ubuntu on a laptop without cdrom or usb access
[03:15] <prince_jammys> morse code style
[03:15] <boselecta_> too bad ubuntu doesn't effectively support WPA / WPA2.
[03:15] <Fryguy--> must_Bow: you need to give proper credentials, look at your caps lock key or something
[03:15] <Scunizi> !netinstall
[03:15] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[03:15] <Fryguy--> boselecta_:  wpa supplicant works fine
[03:15] <mttr> would prefer installion from a alternate partition
[03:15] <boselecta_> Fryguy--: is that not already installed in 7.10?
[03:15] <must_Bow> I'm sure there is nothing wrong... with I type
[03:15] <seismicmike> I'm installing gnomad2 now. I'll let everyone know if there's a problem. I may also need libmtp.
[03:15] <Scunizi> mttr check out ubotu links above
[03:15] <ar0nic> boselecta_ whats that?
[03:16] <boselecta_> wpa_supplicant
[03:16] <irishwhistle> All flash content in FF is jerky, I don't have the prob in Xubuntu, but I prefer Ubuntu. I've even tried in Failsafe on ubuntu and it doesn't make a difference. How should I fix this? Please help! Thanks. :)
[03:16] <ar0nic> im having issues
[03:16] <ar0nic> i get that error when my wireless nic is plugged in
[03:16] <mttr> i have looked for a long time but can't find a way to intall via alternate partion (move iso file to secound partion)
[03:16] <mttr> will check again
[03:16] <Scunizi> seismicmike, the other method mentioned is canging something inthe rom
[03:16] <boselecta_> like, if i use network manager to configure a WPA2 connection, is that not effectively a front-end to wpa-supplicant?
[03:16] <shawn__> hey guys
[03:17] <shawn__> how do i change my parttioned space to lock so i have more space i have them all unlocked right now
[03:17] <boselecta_> at any rate, it's not good that i have to use WEP128 because WPA2 is not working straightforwardly.
[03:17] <Fryguy--> boselecta_: no idea, you've been in here for hours trying to figure out this problem instead of out on the internet, so I figured i'd help you along, and maybe convince you to go google wpa_supplicant and be on your way
[03:18] <irishwhistle> my flash is jerky in ff. please help.
[03:18] <ub3rst4r> i am trying to install my dlink wireless usb card on ubuntu, it is being detected but none of the lights are coming on on the adapter. do i need to be doing something?
[03:18] <icesword> irishwhistle, version 9
[03:18] <JohnPhys> irishwhistle, are desktop effects turned on?
[03:18] <ar0nic> ei dunno im still a bit of noob but when my wireless nic is pluggin in on boot it freezes, if i plug the card in while the pc is on the system becomes unstable, and if i reboot i get the wpa-supplicant error, which requires a hard boot then a host of network errors
[03:18] <irishwhistle> no desktop fx
[03:18] <irishwhistle> and it's the latest flash
[03:18] <boselecta_> hm well certainly i've done the googling and the best i could come up with in here was that most of the wireless drivers don't support WPA2, and the situation is only marginally better with WPA.
[03:18] <seismicmike> hmmm... well I apparently already have libmtp preinstalled....
[03:19] <seismicmike> Scunizi: I'll try that if gnomad doesn't work. I'll have to get more details too.
[03:19] <TrueNme> how do you install .bin files ?
[03:19] <irishwhistle> I have 256MB of ram, but that can't be it because it doesn't even wok in failsafe, but it does in Xubuntu
[03:19] <icesword> TrueNme, trust me,this time,i got it
[03:19] <prince_jammys> TrueNme: is this an application you downloaded?
[03:19] <Fryguy--> TrueNme: if you truly have an install program that is a .bin, just run it
[03:20] <irishwhistle> JohnPhys, no desktop fx
[03:20] <ar0nic> boselecta_ built in network, pcmcia card? usb?
[03:20] <icesword> TrueNme, chomod 755 .bin file
[03:20] <octoberdan> Without X running, the terminal's text is huge and the bottom half of it is off the screen
[03:20] <boselecta_> ar0nic: it's built-in. it uses ipw2100
[03:20] <irishwhistle> icesword, it's the latest flash version
[03:20] <icesword> TrueNme, then ./.bin file
[03:20] <octoberdan> How can I adress this?
[03:20] <JohnPhys> irishwhistle, sorry, that's my only idea.  I know cpu% goes through the roof when watching flash with compiz enabled.
[03:20] <TrueNme> prince_jammmys yes i downloaded a .bin file for the client of my game
[03:20] <icesword> TrueNme, trust me
[03:21] <icesword> let it go
[03:21] <icesword> try it,trueme
[03:21] <irishwhistle> johnphy, strange thanks for trying to help anyway
[03:21] <TrueNme> icesword i dont understand what your telling me to do
[03:22] <prince_jammys> TrueNme: yes, if you're going to run it, you go to the directory where the file is in a terminal, then you chmod +x filename.bin, and then you execute with: ./filename.bin
[03:22] <Scunizi> TrueNme, in a terminal move to the director with the .bin file.  Then type ./<filename.bin>
[03:22] <ar0nic> wish i could help, it recognized my card on the first time the machine booted, then froze and hasnt worked since
[03:22] <octoberdan> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120449 <-- solution to the terminal problem
[03:22] <prince_jammys> TrueNme: what game?
[03:22] <MattJ> Pooky: Better late than never, but jabberd2 works for me
[03:22] <TrueNme> prince_jammys what is chmod +x
[03:22] <seismicmike> hrg... I have to use JuK I think.... I prefer Amarok...
[03:23] <icesword> TrueNme,open a terminal,type  chomod 755 .bin file
[03:23] <MattJ> Pooky: But I use bdb backend
[03:23] <irishwhistle> JohnPhys, do you think it would be worth a shot in another browser?
[03:23] <prince_jammys> TrueNme: it's the command you type
[03:23] <Scunizi> TrueNme, it make the file executable
[03:23] <prince_jammys> TrueNme: chmod +x filename.bin && ./filename.bin
[03:23] <TrueNme> scunizi thank you
[03:23] <ngabriel> anyone know why my samba linux share would be writable when hit from windows but not after being mounted in linux?
[03:23] <JohnPhys> irishwhistle, it's always worht a shot, but it's odd that it works in Xubuntu and not gnome
[03:24] <Scunizi> TrueNme, np.. simple answers are sometimes better.. what game is it?
[03:24] <icesword> TrueNme, after that,./.bin file
[03:24] <irishwhistle> JohnPhys, ok... that's the part that annoys me because I hate XFCE
[03:24] <JohnPhys> ngabriel, what is the configuration of the share in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[03:24] <ngabriel> i tried both writeable=yes and read only = no
[03:24] <TrueNme> scunizi planet shift
[03:25] <ngabriel> JohnPhys, is that what you mean?
[03:25] <Pooky> MattJ: I was trying to use the jabberd2 documentation, but I can't find the binary to run
[03:25] <Pooky> mattj: just to test, and the init.d script didn't seem to make much sense either
[03:25] <MattJ> Pooky: sudo /etc/init.d/jabberd2 start
[03:25] <MattJ> (re)start
[03:25] <JohnPhys> ngabriel, possibly what do you want the share to behave like?  (writable by all, some, none, etc.)
[03:25] <TrueNme> when in a folder is there a way to open a terminal at that location ?
[03:25] <MattJ> Pooky: jabberd2 is a handfull of programs that work together
[03:26] <ngabriel> JohnPhys, writeable to user ngabriel
[03:26] <MattJ> Pooky: It should say something like: Starting resolver... sm... c2s... etc.
[03:26] <JohnPhys> ngabriel, do you want it browsable by anyone?  readable?
[03:26] <Scunizi> TrueNme, where did you download the file to?
[03:26] <cyphase> anyone know where i can get an iso of an old linux distro? old meaning older then ~2002
[03:26] <Pooky> MattJ: yeah, it doesn't say anything like that :/
[03:26] <icesword> TrueNme, app>accessory>termianl
[03:27] <bazhang> cyphase: what are you trying to accomplish?
[03:27] <MattJ> Pooky: Hmm, does it say anything at all? (also, what version of Ubuntu?)
[03:27] <Pooky> MattJ: sudo /etc/init.d/jabberd2-ldap-mysql restart, and then it just says starting, fand then stops
[03:27] <cyphase> bazhang: nothing.. i just want to see what it's like :)
[03:27] <MattJ> Hmm
[03:27] <ngabriel> JohnPhys, yes.  I should add that I also have: available=yes and browsable=yes  in smb.conf
[03:27] <MattJ> Pooky: Check /var/log/jabbersomething
[03:28] <JohnPhys> ngabriel: so you want everyone to read it, but only you to be able to write to it?
[03:28] <Pooky> MattJ: ubuntu 7.10
[03:28] <ngabriel> JohnPhys: yes
[03:28] <Pooky> MattJ: nothing in the log dirs, I have a jabberd2 and a jabber directory
[03:28] <seismicmike> er... maybe not... it says "No jukeboxes found on USB bus." What does that mean?
[03:29] <MattJ> Pooky: Ok, I have it on 7.04
[03:29] <JohnPhys> ngabriel: .....hmm.........I don't know if I know how to do that, actually.  It depends on how "available", "browsable" and "public" all behave together.  I think you want public = no, browsable = yes, and earlier in teh file, security = user
[03:29] <Pooky> I'm considering isntalling from source at this point, --with-mysql might be easier :P
[03:29] <TrueNme> Thank you everyone for the .bin install help
[03:29] <seismicmike> Well this doesn't seem to be working at all.... What's this changing the rom thing?
[03:29] <ccarey> nitromaster: sup?
[03:30] <JohnPhys> ngabriel:  if you set writable = no, then noone at all can write to it, so don't do that if you intend to write to the drive as user ngabriel
[03:30] <nitromaster> ccarey, not much
[03:30] <Scunizi> seismicmike, read the link.. but be very careful
[03:30] <MattJ> Pooky: :P
[03:30] <Pooky> MattJ: I've been googling for a bit, but do you know of any jabber howtos ont he ubuntu site that I might have missed?
[03:30] <MattJ> Pooky: If you want to run manually, start with jabberd2-router, then the others
[03:30] <ccarey> hey nitromaster, why'd my unrar being retarded?
[03:30] <seismicmike> which link? I think I missed it. Sorry I'm kinda spacey right now I'm also at work.
[03:31] <Pooky> MattJ: why is it on the jabberd2 site, they say just start jabberd, is it just a startup script of some kind?
[03:31] <nitromaster> ccarey, i don't know. describe the situation please
[03:31] <TrueNme> trying to install this game it wants to install to /opt which isnt writable to me how do i fix this ?
[03:31] <Scunizi> seismicmike, the 3rd on down on www.google.com/linux after entering the model number of your samsung
[03:31] <MattJ> Pooky: I don't know, jabberd2 is lacking good docs :/
[03:31] <MattJ> Pooky: I have only ever used it as an Ubuntu package
[03:31] <ngabriel> JohnPhys, at the end of the day, all i'm interested is user ngabriel.  my security is currently = user, public = no, writable=yes, browsable=yes, available=yes, valid users=ngabriel...  One weird thing is that if i access the share from a windows box (as ngabriel), everything works.  Its only a problem when mounting the share from another linux box (using smbfs or cifs)
[03:32] <bazhang> http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/mandrake/old/iso/ cyphase old enough for you?
[03:32] <ngabriel> JohnPhys, sorry, correction. i dont have any setting for writeable.
[03:32] <Fryguy--> ngabriel: when mounting *nix to *nix, look at using nfs instead, it's faster
[03:32] <ccarey> nitromaster, well i did a sudo apt-get install unrar-free as usual, and well it got a segmentation fault when trying to unpack a rar for d2x-xl, descent 2 and i really want to play, any suggestions?  you're an unrar master right?
[03:33] <TrueNme> can i run this .bin file so that it can install to default dir.?
[03:33] <Fryguy--> TrueNme: run it as root
[03:33] <Pooky> MattJ: Oh yeah, I ran into this earlier, all the jabberd2-resolver, etc binaries, point to /etc/jabberd, though the package installed configs were installed in /etc/jabberd2
[03:33] <nitromaster> ccarey, this seems like a classic problem. do dpkg --purge unrar to fix any and all problems you have
[03:33] <Pooky> I guess I could just symlink it or something :/
[03:33] <TrueNme> fryguy what about as su ?
[03:33] <JohnPhys> ngabriel:  when you mount it on the linux box, are you making sure to not mount it read-only?
[03:33] <cyphase> bazhang: close enough :P
[03:33] <MattJ> Pooky: Ah, use -c <config file>
[03:33] <Starnestommy> TrueNme: use sudo
[03:33] <Gopher99> i'm so disappointed
[03:33] <MattJ> Pooky: jabberd2-router -c /etc/jabberd2/router.xml
[03:34] <Gopher99> i've asked the same question 5 times in here, once in #samba, and no help in 2 hours
[03:34] <nitromaster> ccarey, actually, first do dkpg -l urar and tell me your output
[03:34] <Fryguy--> TrueNme: su is root
[03:34] <bazhang> Gopher99: two hours? heh that is not long
[03:34] <seismicmike> OH ok... sorry... I'm going to follow this and be very careful... especially since I have the YP-U3 and not the YP-U3J.... don't know if there's a significant difference, but hopefully not.
[03:34] <ccarey> nitromaster: bash: dkpg: command not found
[03:34] <Starnestommy> ccarey: it's dpkg
[03:34] <nitromaster> ccarey, sorry, it's dpkg
[03:34] <Scunizi> seismicmike, good luck
[03:34] <seismicmike> I'm also going to go get lunch b/c I'm so spacey :)
[03:34] <Gopher99> bazhang, it's long to be sitting in a chatroom trying to get a printer to install so that i can print a report and get some sleep
[03:34] <ngabriel> JohnPhys: no i'm not *sure*.  Here is my mount command: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=ngabriel,password=blah,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //server/foo /mnt/bar
[03:34] <Pooky> MattJ: since this seems like it'll at least get me started for testing, do you know if there's any particular order these daemons have to be started outside of the resolver being first?
[03:35] <MattJ> Gopher99: Maybe the forums if IRC isn't working out for you
[03:35] <ngabriel> JohnPhys, I also tried setting /mnt/bar as 777
[03:35] <bazhang> Gopher99: please restate your problem
[03:35] <Gopher99> I try to install this printer on my linux box. every windows computer on the entire network is picking it up, yet they dont even recognize the ubuntu box. "Supposedly" the Ubuntu box is in the same workgroup. However it also does not recognize the printer.
[03:35] <Gopher99> My conclusion is that the Ubuntu box is not in the workgroup, and i have trouble putting it there
[03:35] <Pooky> MattJ: sorry to ask what are probably basic questions, but the documentation, and the package, have left me a little confused...
[03:35] <MattJ> Pooky: I think as long as the resolver is up, it doesn't matter
[03:35] <Gopher99> How can i have a sure-fire guarantee that it's in the workgroup
[03:35] <EnK> sorry...
[03:35] <Pooky> MattJ: thanks much!
[03:35] <ccarey> nitromaster, No packages found matching urar.  i think urar is misspelled, let me try using unrar instead
[03:35] <Scunizi> Gopher99, install avahi
[03:35] <TrueNme> ubuntu comes default with gnome right ?
[03:35] <tonyyarusso> TrueNme: yes.
[03:36] <TrueNme> ty
[03:36] <bazhang> Gopher99: what printer, is samba working otherwise, any error messages you are getting
[03:36] <JohnPhys> ngabriel:  should it be -t smbfs rather than -t cifs?
[03:36] <Gopher99> it's an hp photosmart 7550
[03:36] <MattJ> Pooky: Yes, I know :) Thankfully develop with Jabber, so I know a bit about the different server already
[03:36] <MattJ> *servers
[03:36] <icesword> TrueNme, ok?
[03:36] <ngabriel> JohnPhys, i've tried both.  I can mount using both commands, but can't write using either
[03:36] <bazhang> Gopher99: my question had three parts
[03:36] <ccarey> nitromaster, i think the problem might be the rar file and not unrar.  i'll try redownloading and unpackaging
[03:37] <nitromaster> ccarey, good idea. just come again if it doesn't work
[03:37] <TrueNme> how do i find out what group my user is in ?
