[12:36] <preaction> leStat666: you're going to have to ask someone more familiar with that mod, probably someone on their own IRC channel or help forums
[12:36] <ubuntuEdgy> dsnyders:  try gparted to see the partitions
[12:36] <sunboy> Shaddox: Well the problem is the installer isn't taking me to the install program, i'm just getting a blank screen after it appears that it's loaded everything
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_Link: Are you tring to install from the flash or run live from the flash to recover windows data
[12:36] <Dr_Link> ...Neither.
[12:36] <Dr_Link> Listen up.
[12:37] <ubuntuEdgy> can any one  help with ssh -X issue

[12:38] <timewriter> hi
[12:38] <mhz`> newest stable version
[12:38] <sunboy> Can anyone else help me?
[12:38] <Dr_Link> I'm just trying to make a flash drive that contains the Ubuntu installer, some spyware-adware-virus scanners and killers, and some vital Windows programs for multiple purposes, written by myself. And that's all. I was wondering if you have to do anything special for this... or something like that... *hides*
[12:38] <leStat666> !trap
[12:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about trap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:39] <Pricey> mhz`, I have.
[12:39] <leStat666> an Wolfenstein Enemy Territory Mod
[12:39] <slashdot> pls tell me what to do
[12:39] <slashdot> sorry for me

[12:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_Link: You need to define something for me..  Having an installer implies you are going to install ubuntu on the hard drive of the problem computer..
[12:39] <mhz`> Pricey, i'm having a bit of trouble with ./configure for libtorrent
[12:39] <andreas_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=497877

[12:39] <Pricey> mhz`, rtorrent is in the repositories.
[12:40] <numus> hmm
[12:40] <z999> what are compiz minimum system requirements?
[12:40] <mhz`> yeah, not newest version
[12:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_Link: HAving a working install is different
[12:40] <Dr_Link> I just want the installer on there so I can copy it to the offending computer and kill Windows (with all its security holes)
[12:40] <mhz`> i need .0.7.4
[12:40] <numus> !codec | numus
[12:40] <Dr_Link> whenever I need to.
[12:40] <Pricey> mhz`, why do you "need" 0.7.4?

[12:40] <preaction> Pricey: known bugs in 0.6.4
[12:40] <z999> what are compiz system requirements?
[12:40] <dsnyders> ubuntuEdgy, I know what the partition is (/dev/sdb1) and what the UUID is (4eb4d359-9a17-4034-8950-41d10b105322), but when I put the UUID in fstab I cannot mount the partition.  Nor can I mount it with mount -U.
[12:40] <slashdot> HI when i try to play some mp3 music look what error i have: You do not have a decoder nistalled to handle this file you might need to install the necessary plugins.

[12:41] <ubuntuEdgy> dsnyders: yeh
[12:41] <Dr_Link> So, Jack_Sparrow, I don't want a working installation, just the standalone installer.
[12:41] <mhz`> Pricey, like preaction said
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_Link: thank you
[12:41] <mhz`> 0.7.4 is the newest, stable version

[12:52] <fevel> My sound card is detected  But I have no sound
[12:53] <z999> k
[12:53] <fevel> ive tried everything
[12:53] <z999> thx....
[12:53] <El_Burro> if i wanted to remove an entry i had added to system/preferences/sessions, but cant use the X gui at all, how would i go about it
[12:53] <fevel> im almost quitting
[12:53] <dsnyders> ubuntuEdgy, Yes, I'm using fiesty.  UUID is a unique number assigned to a partition.  The theory is that I can move the drive around in the machine and it will always be recognized as the same partition and thus always mounted on the same mount point regardless.
[12:53] <z999> and the other compiz? I read there are two versions
[12:53] <CaptainM> z999, should be about the same
[12:53] <z999> k
[12:54] <bodmerocity> fevel, I yanked my soundcard and just switched to the onboard sound on my motherboard. you could try that :P
[12:54] <z999> well thanks anyway...
[12:54] <Stormx2> Would it be possible to filter outgoing traffic containing a certain string?
[12:54] <CaptainM> z999, why not try, if it doesn't work just remove it again
[12:54] <dsnyders> ubuntuEdgy, It is useful for removable drives, such as pen drives, external SATAs  and USB enclosures.
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> El_Burro: you can try nano if you have cli
[12:54] <meuserj> pvremove wiped the LVM data off of the partition.. so I'm all set.. hopefully

[12:56] <RGautier> Of the 3 Gstreamer options for install, mp3 is only included in the set that has no-encryption DVD - which has the legal warning - is there a Gstreamer set that includes mp3 and not unencrypted DVD?

[12:56] <mindframe_> are there any automated utilities for converting avi to dvd?
[12:56] <sysop> is there an easy FTP server with a gui in ubuntu?
[12:57] <bodmerocity> wow, that's really respectable
[12:57] <sn0w> sysop, im a big fan of wu-ftp, then i use just use commandline, or gftp if you want graphical
[12:57] <CaptainM> bodmerocity, that's why linux/ ubuntu rocks ;)
[12:57] <sysop> cheers snow
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> sysop: good place to start is synaptic and search for ftp server

[12:58] <sysop> cool
[12:58] <rolfen> is there any prog that will play movies as a screensaver? i think it a good idea
[12:58] <Justi1> In file browser, how do I make a new folder?
[12:58] <fevel> Anyone run ubuntu on a pavilion laptop?
[12:58] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[12:58] <Jack_Sparrow> fevel: yes
[12:59] <dsnyders> fevel, I was, for a while
[12:59] <fevel> Jack_Sparrow: How did you manage to get sound working??
[12:59] <Vletmix> Justi1: Right click in some empty space, and look at the menu
[12:59] <CaptainM> rolfen, there is, not sure what it's called though. But at least you googling won't be in vain :P
[12:59] <Jack_Sparrow> fevel: It just worked...
[12:59] <pyros_pyrotica_> RGautier: I think that the fluedo gstreamer pack has mp3 but no dvdcss
[12:59] <Justi1> vletmix: its grayed out
[12:59] <pyros_pyrotica_> *fluendo
[12:59] <dsnyders> fevel, sound worked "out of the box" for my machine.
[01:00] <rolfen> CaptainM: thanks
[01:00] <sn0w> rolfen, i have for sure seen people setting screen savers as their wallpaper, so its probably possible
[01:00] <Vletmix> Justi1: That probably means your user account doesn't have privileges to create a directory there... what folder are you in?
[01:00] <fevel> dsnyders: I wish mmine did, but it didnt, it detected it but no sound comes out
[01:00] <fevel> even on full volume
[01:00] <Justi1> vletmix: root
[01:00] <RGautier> Clicking on an mp3 pulled up a player which then asked me to install a codec - unfortunately fluendo didn't present itself - so I took the riskier install choice.
[01:00] <dsnyders> fevel, what machine do you have?
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> fevel: I want to say check the mixer but that may be wrong
[01:01] <fevel> Jack_Sparrow: I did
[01:01] <fevel> dsnyders: HP pavilion dv2000
[01:01] <Vletmix> Justi1: ahh... well, you might not want to do that. If you're creating a directory to store 'stuff' you're better off doing so in your home directory
[01:02] <rolfen> dyou guys know any way to control the volume from the command line? or to map the special volume key of the keyboard to the volume control in XFCE ?
[01:02] <fevel> dsnyders: soundcard is detected but no sound comes out
[01:02] <rolfen> i'll ask that in xubuntu too
[01:02] <Justi1> vletmix: ok. is there a way I can access locked folders without logging into a different account?
[01:02] <dsnyders> fevel, I have the same laptop (mine's a dv 2432ca.. sweet little machine, btw)  Are you dual booting?
[01:03] <CaptainM> Justi1, from the command line use sudo [command]  but be careful with that. It's fairly easy to screw something up
[01:03] <sn0w> fevel, not sure if you already did this but goto system -> prefs -> sound, and make sure you have specifically selected your sound card, sometimes the autodetect may not work (like on my desktop)
[01:03] <Vletmix> Justi1: Well, you could use the terminal, but it seems like there should be a way of doing it without having to know commandline stuff... not sure what else to suggest
[01:04] <mneptok> Justi1: are you comfortable in a terminal?
[01:04] <fevel> sn0w: except autodetect did work....but no sound comes out
[01:04] <Justi1> mneptok: lol no
[01:04] <fevel> dsnyders: yes, I dualboot with vista
[01:04] <Justi1> What is the "administrative account" that I should log into?
[01:04] <fevel> dsnyders: works fine in windows
[01:04] <mneptok> Justi1: ALT-F2  >  gksudo nautilus /home
[01:04] <CaptainM> Justi1, you could always do alt-f2 and enter gksudo nautilus
[01:04] <sn0w> fevel, hmm yea sorry, thats all the input i had
[01:04] <mneptok> Justi1: there's your root GUI window
[01:04] <fevel> sn0w: thanks anyway
[01:05] <dsnyders> fevel, Are you getting sound from the earphones?
[01:05] <fevel> dsnyders: let me check
[01:05] <bodmerocity> does ubuntu automatically support RSS feeds?
[01:05] <mneptok> bodmerocity: Fx does
[01:05] <Vletmix> Seems like it MIGHT be a good idea to put a 'browse files as root' menu item in the system tools by default... maybe eh?
[01:05] <bodmerocity> mneptok, Fx?
[01:06] <mneptok> bodmerocity: Firefox
[01:06] <Vletmix> I would imagine questions like this come up often
[01:06] <RERELOLUWA> i have an ntfs formated external hdd, can read files from it but can not save on it wot do i do?
[01:06] <mneptok> Vletmix: not really. it would only confuse most users.
[01:06] <sn0w> Vletmix, yea but that might be too dangerous for the new users, plus the command line is so powerful, they need to learn
[01:07] <bodmerocity> mneptok aye I have Firefox. does that mean I should be able to play them?
[01:07] <CaptainM> !ntfs-3g | RERELOLUWA
[01:07] <ubotu> RERELOLUWA: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:07] <mneptok> bodmerocity: yup
[01:07] <fevel> dsnyders: nope, headphones has no sound
[01:07] <mneptok> bodmerocity: well, read, not play. RSS feeds are not media. ;)
[01:08] <dsnyders> fevel, Take a look at http://blog.ifitcangowrong.com/ubuntu/configure-the-hp-dv2000-for-ubuntu-sound
[01:08] <Vletmix> mneptok: yeah, there's danger, but also, for people coming from windows, they might find it very confusing to find that they can not create any files/directories outside of their home. I suppose some general tough love a-la "don't do that" works :)
[01:08] <mneptok> bodmerocity: if you don't like FX's default "live bookmarks" RSS handling, check out the Sage extension
[01:08] <sn0w> anyone know a good way to back out an ubuntu-studio install, i did the audio one and wasnt ready for what was about to happen
[01:08] <Cheyenne> How do I pass my username and password through a ftp protocol?
[01:09] <mneptok> Vletmix: they'll also be surprised that after 3 hours on the 'net they're *still* not a stealth spam relay ;)
[01:09] <sn0w> Cheyenne, just run "ftp" then "open host"
[01:09] <Vletmix> heheh
[01:09] <sn0w> Cheyenne, it will ask u username, then password
[01:09] <Justi1> what does "cd ~/.driver" do when entered in terminal?
[01:10] <mneptok> changes directory
[01:10] <Vletmix> Justi1: That is telling the terminal that you want to go into a folder called .driver in your home directory
[01:10] <CaptainM> Justi1, it changes the directory to the hidden folder 'driver' in your home folder
[01:10] <bodmerocity> mneptok, my problem is that I can't hear podcasts.
[01:10] <Cheyenne> sn0w: Im telneted into a Cisco IOS Box.
[01:10] <Justi1> thank you
[01:10] <mneptok> bodmerocity: that's not RSS
[01:10] <sn0w> Cheyenne, so your logged into a router or something?
[01:10] <Zxcs> anyone here use Nessus?
[01:10] <mneptok> bodmerocity: what format are the audio files?
[01:10] <jumbers> How can I keep Ubuntu from making .Trash folders on other file systems such as USB drives?
[01:10] <bodmerocity> mneptok, I'm not sure
[01:11] <mneptok> bodmerocity: that's Step 1
[01:11] <Cheyenne> sn0w: a switch, yes
[01:11] <bodmerocity> mneptok, I don't know how to find out either...
[01:11] <mneptok> bodmerocity: can you play mp3s?
[01:12] <BigToe7000> I have a question about ubuntu from a friend: <Bender> who was the ******* that decided to hard-code the scroll speed
[01:12] <sn0w> Cheyenne, can you give me a little more detail on what your trying to do? ftp to the switch, from the switch to what?
[01:12] <bronze> Can anyone mention a few linux native games?
[01:12] <bodmerocity> mneptok, I'ma find out in a second
[01:12] <BigToe7000> tuxracer
[01:12] <BigToe7000> gnometrix
[01:12] <BigToe7000> er
[01:12] <BigToe7000> tris*
[01:12] <BigToe7000> and that's all I remember D:
[01:13] <Justi1> does " cd " stand for 'change directory'?
[01:13] <Cheyenne> sn0w: I want ot save my routers configuration onto my ftp on my CentOS box bot I have it usernamed and passworded
[01:13] <BigToe7000> Justi1, yes
[01:13] <bodmerocity> mneptok, yes
[01:13] <bronze> I was thinking of retail games. What games have IG gaming made?
[01:13] <Vletmix> jumbers: By searching google ;) http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/13/no-trash-on-external-usb-drives/
[01:13] <CaptainM> bronze, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Native_Games
[01:13] <aneviltrend> kind of off topic, but does anyone know of a channel that's good for discussing setting up networking for about 15 people or so?
[01:13] <mattuk> hey all, do you have to be running 7.04 to use SVN 1.4 and Apache 2.2 from apt-get? I get Apache 2.0.54 and SVN 1.3 with 6.06 Server
[01:14] <mattuk> I tried using the universe repository's too but to no luck
[01:14] <sn0w> Cheyenne, type "copy run ftp?" that should bring up something
[01:14] <dsnyders> Hi all.  How do you rebuild /dev/disk/by-uuid? My new partition is not listed there.
[01:14] <someone2005> any way to unlock an unknown type root file ?
[01:14] <CaptainM> bronze, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Native_Games
[01:14] <CaptainM> firefox always crashes when I close a tab with a movie playing in a flash player (youtube or something) any thoughts? This only happens when I close a tab. Not when I close the whole window.
[01:14] <BigToe7000> I have a question about ubuntu from a friend: <Bender> who was the ******* that decided to hard-code the scroll speed
[01:15] <Cheyenne> sn0w: I use tthe command "copy start ftp" and it asks for host  and destination info
[01:15] <sn0w> Cheyenne, this is not really for this room fyi, this is a cisco thing but ill try to help, happen to have a lil cisco experience
[01:15] <kitche> BigToe7000: what do you mean by scroll speed
[01:15] <nich0s> configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
[01:15] <BigToe7000> kitche, in windows when you scroll you can control the number of lines
[01:15] <sn0w> Cheyenne, and after that it never asks for uname/pwd?
[01:15] <Pricey> !build-essential | nich0s
[01:15] <ubotu> nich0s: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[01:15] <nich0s> Pricey: You. Rock. :P
[01:15] <mattuk> anyone?
[01:16] <kitche> BigToe7000: you can do it also in Linux it's just different :) and no clue on how to do it with gnome
[01:16] <Pricey> mattuk, "yes"
[01:16] <Pricey> mattuk, what's wrong with the versions in dapper?
[01:16] <Cheyenne> sn0w: It says "No Such User"
[01:16] <BigToe7000> oh ok kitche, thanks
[01:16] <BigToe7000> :D
[01:16] <sn0w> Cheyenne, when you put the host try putting "username@host"
[01:16] <mattuk> Pricey: thanks - im trying to replicate my production server, which uses Apache 2.2 on 6.06, so i guess i'll have to install manually heh
[01:17] <kitche> BigToe7000: I m not a very good gui person :) since I just like my gui's to work I don't do very much configuration besides the backgrounds
[01:18] <sn0w> Cheyenne, another thing you might want to try is tftp, make sure you setup a tftp server on where you want the config saved, lots of free ones, check solarwinds, then type "copy run tftp"
[01:18] <Zxcs> guys ive got a problem: ive installed an app called nessus, yet when i type nessus in the terminal it says it cannot find nessus
[01:18] <sn0w> he quit
[01:18] <sn0w> lame
[01:19] <rolfen> Zxcs: do sudo locate -u
[01:19] <rolfen> Zxcs: then when it over type locate nessus
[01:19] <ponicg> Why can't I access any "context" menus in Edgy? It just randomly started about an hour ago
[01:19] <ponicg> IE: I can click my applications menu, but I can't hover over anything - the hover doesn't actually go there
[01:20] <Zxcs> rolfen: thanks il try it
[01:20] <ponicg> I can use the arrow keys though
[01:20] <ponicg> I can't even right click and then left click paste, etc. I have to use the keyboard
[01:20] <ponicg> Well - I mean right click, then arrow down with downarrow to paste, hit enter
[01:20] <Justi1> what does 'sudo shutdown -r now' do?
[01:20] <Pricey> Justi1, reboots immediately
[01:21] <Justi1> pricey: good thing I checked
[01:21] <Zxcs> rolfen: it didnt seem to work :/
[01:22] <Zxcs> i just tried apt-get install nessus but it tells me ive already got the newest version installed
[01:22] <rolfen> you dont get any results when you do locate nessus? then there is no nessus... unless try sudo locate nessus
[01:22] <mneptok> bodmerocity: still there?
[01:22] <Ragle> hello
[01:22] <rolfen> Zxcs: if that dosent work then there is no executable called nessus on your computer!
[01:23] <bodmerocity> mneptok, yessir
[01:23] <rolfen> Zxcs: did you install it through synaptic?
[01:23] <bodmerocity> mneptok, I can play mp3s
[01:23] <Ragle> i have a question regarding deploying Ubuntu on several machines for casual users
[01:23] <Zxcs> rolfen: i dont know what synaptic is, all i did was download the .deb and install it that way
[01:24] <kitche> !ask | Ragle just ask
[01:24] <ubotu> Ragle just ask: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:24] <Russian> Guys is there another messenger like Gaim Internet Messenger?
[01:24] <LucianIndy> Zxcs, you could sudo apt-get remove nessus and then sudo apt-get install nessus
[01:24] <d4rkmonkey> How do I create virtual machiens for VMware Player?
[01:24] <mneptok> bodmerocity: find yourself an mp4 (.m4a) and get support for it installed. your 'casts are probably by Mac users that don't think about codecs.
[01:24] <rolfen> Zxcs: ah ok
[01:24] <LucianIndy> d4rkmonkey, www.easyvmx.com
[01:24] <Zxcs> lucianind: ok il try that thanks
[01:24] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: umm with qemu is one way
[01:24] <bodmerocity> mneptok, ahkyay, thanks
[01:24] <Zxcs> thanks guys, that seemed to work :)
[01:24] <gav616> i haven't been able to get onto my ubuntu forum account since Feisty release who can put this right?
[01:25] <Pricey> gav616, come to #ubuntuforums please :)
[01:25] <LucianIndy> how many ubuntu channels are there?!?
[01:25] <mneptok> Pricey: what have we told you about luring children with candy ... ?
[01:25] <joules> i have a general question very broad for this chat i bet.. but when i play videos on mplayer or totem  .. when i move the window the video seems to stay playing on a specific quadrant of the screen even if i move the window.. then when i let go it refocuses... same thing happens when beryl is running .. any ideas?
[01:26] <Pricey> LucianIndy, lots.
[01:26] <Pricey> mneptok, I'm sorry sir :(
[01:26] <mneptok> "sir?" is my father standing behind me?
[01:26] <LucianIndy> joules, i actually have the same problem with all video players including vnc. . . most of the time the video goes black but audio continues (i have to move the screen around radically to get a picture again )
[01:26] <LucianIndy> so same question for me #ubuntu
[01:27] <mneptok> LucianIndy: disable Compiz if it's enabled
[01:27] <LucianIndy> actually. . . i haven't tried since i stopped using beryl and started using compiz
[01:27] <LucianIndy> ah, ok
[01:27] <mneptok> LucianIndy: same for Beryl
[01:27] <piztek> can anyone here help me with devilspie
[01:27] <piztek> devils pie
[01:27] <LucianIndy> mneptok, curious. . . why is that an issue? is it a bug that can be fixed or what?
[01:27] <Vletmix> I prefer angelfood ;)
[01:28] <Dalgren> simple question...I'm looking for vlm to play videos...where do I find it?
[01:28] <Russian> IS there another Messenger like the standard Ubuntu Internet messenger but better/
[01:28] <Ragle> lol...ok..sorry.....i want to provide users with basic web access like Firefox and Gaim, and that's all.....i don't want them to have access to any other program or function....is this possible?
[01:28] <LucianIndy> Russian, gaim
[01:28] <Justi1> How do I add more workspaces?
[01:28] <dtrump> secret
[01:28] <Russian> Lucian I mean other then Gaim
[01:28] <kitche> LucianIndy: berl and compiz is like it's due to they tend to take over your acceleration and some players don't like it but compiz-fusion I think might have fixed it
[01:28] <LucianIndy> justi1, right-click the workspace part on your panel and goto properties
[01:29] <Vletmix> LucianIndy, I believe the default IS gaim... Russian, you could check out 'ayttm'
[01:29] <d4rkmonkey> Whats a good program to play DVDs in Feisty?
[01:29] <tck> d4rkmonkey, vlc
[01:29] <LucianIndy> Russian, open add/remove programs and search under 'internet'
[01:29] <Vletmix> Russian, http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/
[01:29] <Russian> Oke thank you
[01:29] <joules> oh which brings me to compiz... this whole beryl compiz fusion .. i believe compiz is the one that i should go to... are there any new features that beryl doesnt have? and since its not in the add/rem apps i dont want to mess with synaptic or what not anyone knows the code for terminal?
[01:29] <d4rkmonkey> thanks tck
[01:29] <yallax> heyas guys.. i have a d-link (dwl-510) wireless card in my comp, how can i get this to work with ubuntu? i tried to download ndiswrapper with my winxp install but it didnt go so well i think
[01:30] <dimas__> how do i log out in the terminal?
[01:30] <kitche> dimas__: exit
[01:30] <LucianIndy> kitche, i was wanting to switch to compiz-fusion but i would rather wait until development has been in progress for a while ( after a few 'stable' releases )
[01:30] <LucianIndy> im too new to linux to invite issues to fix
[01:30] <Russian> ? Gaim
[01:30] <Russian> ! Gaim
[01:30] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.
[01:30] <kitche> LucianIndy: well it'll be a while since compiz isn't stable neither was beryl before it got merged
[01:30] <Hitomaro> Should I get this?
[01:30] <Hitomaro> http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10088627&catid=10524&logon=&langid=EN&MSCSProfile=3C79F0C7EA3162B21FF208C41AAB815B6421EF4F20FDA6336E851FF30965597E7C7B2C96D0967C5E153E88C22723052E76806DE28D33E38799E696FB1D6DD9149EB19B0998B1317654A5F8263C13B2298094F768D9278B85578036BE0BF0C2CC17BE2170B24E557BAD8C00F4D4410B6C591DDEF77F9470D697EB4D49F2F1CE0BC83FB7EA541A53D00AAAE1B54BA39FDE3F0DA75BA79E13756DDF6
[01:30] <piztek> !devilspie

[01:31] <Dusk_> my menu at the bottom disappeared now..how can i get it back??
[01:31] <kitche> !offtopic | Hitomaro thanks for the spam
[01:31] <kitche> hmm ubotu died?
[01:31] <ubotu> Hitomaro thanks for the spam: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:31] <vox754> kitche, maybe it is some strange pastebin?
[01:31] <Dusk_> the one that show workspaces
[01:31] <Dusk_> !menu
[01:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about menu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:31] <kitche> vox754: it's not it's some store url
[01:31] <Ragle> i want to restrict users down to just casual web browsing and chatting....no access to other programs or permissions to install or delete anything....is this possible?
[01:32] <Russian> LucianL How do I set Gaim internet messenger to connect to a specific channel when I log in, are there any options?
[01:32] <syntaxx> anyone knows a site with samba file server using ldap?
[01:32] <LucianIndy> kitche, mneptok, this is true but the very first releases are usually the most buggy and problematic is what i was trying to state
[01:32] <dsnyders> Help.  One third of my drive is missing!
[01:32] <Pelo> dsnyders, this would be a hdd ?
[01:32] <Russian> Lucian?
[01:32] <MajorPoopyPants> ok for a server - is it better to have more CPU mhz or more cache and HT
[01:33] <LucianIndy> dsnyders, you need a partition managing program (search add/remove programs under applications) and merge any 'unallocated space' back to your main partition
[01:33] <LucianIndy> Russian?
[01:33] <vox754> MajorPoopyPants, what is HT
[01:33] <MajorPoopyPants> hyperthreading
[01:33] <Russian> Lucian: How do I set Gaim internet messenger to connect to a specific channel when I log in, are there any options?
[01:33] <rolfen> where do you normally put custom scripts... /usr/bin ? /usr/sbin ? /usr/local/sbin ? /usr/local/bin ? /bin ???
[01:33] <Hitomaro> sorry about that
[01:33] <Vletmix> Russian, install the package gaim-irchelper then restart gaim
[01:33] <dsnyders> pelo, yes, one partition on the drive.  It shows up in /dev/disk/by-label, and in /dev/disk/by-path, but not in /dev/disk/by-uuid.
[01:33] <joules> ... uh.. ok so going back to this beryl compiz.. video playing problem .. i made ubuntu/beryl stop using as a window manager and made metacity ... yet it still shows me that weird blue screen when i move the video
[01:34] <mneptok> joules: did you restart X?
[01:34] <Russian> Vletmix: thank you
[01:34] <vox754> rolfen, use the local directories, you can also use your home folder, and "echo $PATH" to see what else is by default
[01:34] <joules> i should have.. eh brb
[01:34] <LucianIndy> Russian, my preference is to just use a straight up irc client rather than a limited, IM-version of irc
[01:34] <Vletmix> Russian, it allows you to specify some commands to execute after connection, so you can just put in your /join there
[01:34] <Russian> Btw how do you select the name, so it appears in chat when you want to answer to a specific person
[01:34] <Pelo> dsnyders, see the comment by LucianIndy  a few lines up
[01:34] <Russian> Lucian: What IRC client should I use then?
[01:34] <kitche> Russian: type it out or type part of the name and hit tab
[01:35] <Vletmix> Russian, dunoh if you can :) Like LucianIndy said, a 'real' irc client will have better options
[01:35] <Russian> Vletmix: Recommend me one please I am totally new to linux
[01:35] <rolfen> ah i'll just drop it in bin :D linux is a mess anyway
[01:35] <LucianIndy> Russian, i currently use XChat. . . but there are a wide variety of options
[01:35] <dsnyders> Pelo, LucianIndy,  the disk is partitioned properly (using gparted).  I just can't mount it by UUID.
[01:35] <sa3iid> bonsoir  !
[01:36] <vox754> !tab | Russian
[01:36] <ubotu> Russian: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:36] <Pelo> dsnyders, uuid is only realy good for mounting using fstab , is that what you are trying to do ?   pastebin your fstab so we can have a look
[01:36] <sa3iid> lol je crois que je me suis tromp de tchat l, c'est en anglais

[01:36] <Neo1> I just deleted the bottom panel off of my screen.  Is there any way to get it back without having to do anything too major?
[01:36] <Vletmix> Russian, if you open the 'add/remove...' tool, and search for 'irc', it brings up some choices ... Xchat is a popular one, but you can always play with a few
[01:36] <Russian> Thank you Vox
[01:36] <dsnyders> Pelo, stand by for pastebin...
[01:36] <sa3iid> yes pelo !
[01:36] <dsnyders> !pastebin

[01:39] <Pelo> snowflake, just right click the top pannel and add new pannel,  then move it to the bottom and right click it to add stuff
[01:39] <xcocox> Hey, I have a machine here that I don't have access to a monitor or a keyboard. I can put the cd in (ubuntu server), and assuming it boots, it'll run. Is there a way I can install it via a connection from another computer on my network?
[01:39] <osxdude|laptop> Pelo speaks more than one language!
[01:39] <LucianIndy> snowflake, if you right click your top panel and goto 'add to panel' you can actually put all the things that were on the bottom panel on the top one
[01:39] <Pelo> dsnyders, hold on
[01:39] <foey> MajourPoopyPants : Deps if your doing alot of multitasking and what you are running software wise.

[01:40] <fevel> dsnyders: yes, after I booted without the power cable, one of the last tip on the page
[01:40] <Vletmix> snowflake, If you right click on the top bar, and click 'new panel' it will give you a blank panel. right click on that and open it's properties to move it, etc, then right click on it again and click 'add to panel...' to add your window list
[01:40] <Ragle> how do i completely lock down users on my systems to just the programs and access i want them to have?

[01:41] <Pelo> dsnyders, which partition is giving you problems ?
[01:41] <mneptok> Ragle: you'll want to become very familiar with chmod and chown
[01:41] <Russian_> Lucian: How to edit the colours and stuff, the Gaim had a bit better look
[01:41] <dsnyders> Pelo, my vol_id for /dev/sdb1 shows ID_FS_UUID=4eb4d359-9a17-4034-8950-41d10b105322

[01:42] <melange> if I want to upgrade dapper to feisty. kan I then just replace dapper with feisty in my sources.list and run dist-upgrade ? or do I need to go dapper->edgy->feisty ?
[01:42] <Pricey> !upgrade | melange
[01:42] <Pelo> dsnyders,  try mounting it using the devtree to see if there is a problem with the uuid or with the partition itself
[01:42] <ubotu> melange: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:42] <rolfen> sa3iid: cool

[01:42] <phpwner> how2defrag ntfs
[01:42] <Vletmix> xcocox, probably gonna be pretty tricky
[01:43] <sa3iid> yes rolfen , very cool !
[01:43] <Russian_> Lucian: I cannot use the colours, they are blacked out
[01:43] <Justi1> How do I compile and install a .bin file? (more specifically google earth)
[01:43] <dsnyders> Pelo, I can mount it using mount /dev/sda1 /storage

[01:43] <mattycoze1> hay can someone help me get a program to start up on boot with a root access.
[01:43] <xcocox> Vletmix: Hmm, would you happen to have a link?
[01:43] <mneptok> Ragle: man chown | man chmod
[01:43] <LucianIndy> Russian_, i have no idea why they are 'blacked-out'. I can see mine just fine. #Ubuntu, any thoughts?

[01:48] <LucianIndy> ah, ok
[01:48] <mneptok> snowflake: System > Prefs > Theme

[01:48] <sa3iid> mneptok beslama ! lol moor marocan in france i think
[01:48] <Pelo> snowflake,  you would have to either change the icon them or copy paste the trashcan icons from another theme
[01:48] <mneptok> sa3iid: no, i'm an American in Canada ;)

[01:49] <astro76> Justi1, not sure why it does that, you can delete it
[01:50] <genesis> are you speaking espanish??
[01:50] <Vletmix> gav616, probably wouldn't work.. check out what peerguardian suggests: http://phoenixlabs.org/pglinux/
[01:50] <Shadowpillar> is 65 watts good power consumption?
[01:50] <snowflake> What the?  I really don't understand a thing you're talking about, but I know where the Terminal is.

[01:50] <gav616> :)
[01:50] <genesis> i not understend!

[01:52] <snowflake> (Wait, or I see a folder named root, that's all.)
[01:52] <dsnyders> Pelo, I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to this, but rebooting fixed it.
[01:52] <jokersmild> so nobody in here knows anything about a Hapauge PVR-150 and mythTV
[01:52] <Pelo> Justi1,  google earth is the only instance of a app where I had to restart the computer after the installation,  try that first

[02:05] <Hirvinen> My PPC laptop froze during the upgrade to Feisty, resulting in an unbootable system. It was partitioned on top of LVM with a separate home, so simply installing Feisty on top of it with an alternate CD wouldn't be a big problem, but I'd still like to save some files from the root partition.  "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" Any help?
[02:05] <madman91> i am going to setup screen to have my irssi and rtorrent :)

[02:08] <ubotu> lore26: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[02:08] <Hirvinen> herbaliser: Okay, I'll try. However I'm somewhat suspicious of that half-edgy-half-feisty system booting even in that way.
[02:08] <Pricey> thanks astro76 :)

[02:08] <herbaliser> hi i'm trying to monitor my cpu speed,fan,..  with gKrellm.  I'm using Dell laptop and according to ubuntu guide i have to load an extra module.  i8k when i load it i get the error FATAL: Error inserting i8k (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/char/i8k.ko): No such device

[02:08] <Russian> Anyone can help me with Konversation programme, I cant close the Server List windows, wich shows up when I start Konversation, and the buttons are dissappeared
[02:09] <RGautier> Russian - what is Konversation?
[02:09] <BADC> tkx i will try
[02:09] <younghacker> i need the name of a good ftp server/ and client
[02:09] <Russian> IRC Client
[02:09] <dsnyders> dissection, you do not need to ask for permission.  Just ask your question.  People will either chime in if they know (and aren't busy), or they'll ignore you.
[02:09] <astro76> younghacker, good ftp servers don't have guis
[02:09] <astro76> younghacker, try vsftpd
[02:09] <RGautier> Also, Russian - try #Konversation ??
[02:09] <younghacker> vsftpd,,,cool got it
[02:09] <Russian> Thank you RGautier
[02:09] <younghacker> going to get it now
[02:09] <questans> quick question, is there a way to quicly enter to Ubuntu in a command line interface from boot? even from before I enter the login?
[02:09] <questans> I'm looking for a total CLI look, I've done it before, but it was because of a bad driver, and Ubuntu did it on it's own
[02:10] <geek> yay yay yay
[02:10] <geek> finally got it to work
[02:10] <wifenfeffer> how do I configure samba to allow guests to view my files without needing to enter a username and password ?
[02:10] <bruenig> questans, you can disable gdm
[02:10] <bruenig> questans, I think it is rc.update or something like that, look into it
[02:10] <shiester_miester> questans, yes, alt+ctrl+f1 will get you to a command line
[02:10] <questans> thanks
[02:10] <dsnyders> questans, try <ctrl><alt><f1>
[02:10] <dissection> dsnyders: This is the second time this is happening. My icons in my desktop have disappeared, I am not able to open any folders. When I clicked on restart the last time, the system hung and I had to physically restart it. Why could this be happening? How do I fix this?
[02:10] <bruenig> but that still boots up a gui
[02:11] <bruenig> the ctrl alt f1
[02:11] <RGautier> dissection - maybe your file system is locking up?
[02:11] <RGautier> Which file system are you using?
[02:11] <RGautier> And is there anything special about your disks?
[02:11] <Tama00> okay i got a odd problem right..
[02:11] <Newbuntu> Hello all. I'm trying out Ubuntu for the first time; I want to set it up on a dell D620 laptop and dualboot windows. Is there a write up somewhere for new install/dualboot/D620?
[02:12] <Vletmix> MrElendig: irssi = awesomeness, thanks :)
[02:12] <dissection> RGautier: Not sure how to answer that.. What do you mean special? I got an NTFS partition, and the linux file system whatever its called.. The default one.. I'm new to this
[02:12] <drewu> hey newbuntu
[02:12] <madman91> Newbuntu: the process is usually the same for most laptopts
[02:12] <RGautier> Newbuntu: Is dual-boot necessary?  I'd recommend Virtualizing a box if you have a multicore CPU
[02:12] <questans> thanks, <ctrl><alt><f1> worked, I'll try it while on boot
[02:12] <Hirvinen> herbaliser: Esc does no such thing in yaboot. And the help command it tells me to use first says it's going to load the kernel and then gives a no such file error.
[02:12] <madman91> Newbuntu: so dont look for specific dell d620 instructions
[02:12] <unagi> is there a way that i can make a script or something to where when i start a program ubuntu will rewrite xorg.conf restart x server and then run the program?
[02:12] <dsnyders> dissection, Is it just the icons that are missing?  Do you have a menu/task bar?
[02:13] <bruenig> questans, that still boots a gui, it just keeps it in ctrl alt f7
[02:13] <bruenig> wow he followed what amount to a non solution, weird
[02:13] <Tama00> i was listing to music on a hard drive... then all of a sudden the music stopped and the play list ran through quickly like all the tracks where dead.. then i checked the mount points and it seamed the hard drive has unmounted itself.. then i went into fdisk -l and it somehow magically my 160gig hard drive was gone and a new drive appeard that was 103gb.. wtf is going on?
[02:13] <younghacker> ok so how do i start to configure this file server?
[02:13] <madman91> unagi: why would you do that? ... you could do it.. but are you trying to just hide a problem in a program?
[02:13] <herbaliser> Hirvinen: use a LiveCD then and mount you partition and recover files
[02:13] <Newbuntu> I need to run a bunch of winXP stuff... can't have a dedicated system. :(  I'm trying ubuntu since it seems it's the most user friendly, and easiest to install
[02:13] <Phrozen_One_> whats the keyboard shortcut to kill the x server (and not restart it)
[02:13] <younghacker> i don't have access right now it says i must run as root
[02:13] <younghacker> i did -u root
[02:13] <younghacker> and sudo
[02:13] <LinuxProbie> Heya folks. Someone help me get my Plantronics Gamecom Pro working in feisty?/
[02:14] <dissection> dsnyders: Yes, the menu/task bar is there. But when I clicked on the logout button last time, nothing happened... And then finally the the logout menu showed up after 5 to 10 minutes. When I clicked on reboot, it didn't do anything... And though my irssi was still running, it wouldn't let me type anything into the window
[02:14] <Hirvinen> herbaliser: Okay, then how will I mount an LVM partition on the Feisty LiveCD.
[02:14] <RGautier> Newbuntu - I have a WinXP box - and I use VirtualBox to run Linux's to try them out
[02:14] <unagi> im trying to fix a problem in a program
[02:14] <dirtyhand> whats the command to say yes to all?
[02:14] <RGautier> It lets you run your WinXP stuff and your Linux stuff at the same time
[02:14] <younghacker> me 2 @ RGautier
[02:14] <Tama00> dirtyhand, yes
[02:14] <RGautier> I suggest VirtualBox or VirtualPC
[02:14] <dirtyhand> huh...
[02:15] <younghacker> which one do use i have VMware
[02:15] <dirtyhand> what is it
[02:15] <unagi> madman91: in order for maya to run without crashing i have to disable compositing in ubuntu but its not a practical fix for all the time
[02:15] <RGautier> I am using VirtualBox now
[02:15] <Tama00> dirtyhand, the command that says yes to all is called yes
[02:15] <cotyrother1> can anyone see what im typing
[02:15] <Newbuntu> Rgautier: does it run in the windows, or linux environment? Is it opensource?
[02:15] <rolfen> Tama00: scary what happened to you
[02:15] <RGautier> yes, coty
[02:15] <cotyrother1> ok good
[02:15] <RGautier> It is open source - runs in either
[02:15] <dsnyders> dissection, how much memory/ swap space do you have?  How full are your hard drives?
[02:15] <Tama00> rolfen, did my hard drive die?
[02:15] <RGautier> So you can host it in WinXP
[02:15] <dirtyhand> it keeps asking me for every file
[02:15] <rolfen> Tama00: I dont know...
[02:15] <younghacker> hmm.. i think VMWare is the best, have you guys seen the VMWare ACE environment software?
[02:15] <Tama00> better not of lol
[02:15] <dirtyhand> im trying to delete a folder that has .svn stuff in it with rm -r foldername
[02:15] <dsnyders> dissection, Also, I don't know what irssi is, so I won't be able to help wiht that.
[02:16] <Phrozen_One_> whats the keyboard shortcut to kill the x server (and not restart it)
[02:16] <osxdude|laptop> No luck reinstalling
[02:16] <Tama00> rolfen, i might restart and see if that fixes things
[02:16] <Newbuntu> RGautier: and you recommend virtualbox? I'll give it a try. I assume it's on sourceforge?
[02:16] <dissection> irssi is an IRC client.. I'm using it to chat with you guys
[02:16] <cotyrother1> RGautier: I need to get my computer and my Friend computer connected
[02:16] <RGautier> :shrug: Google is my source for everything
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: What filesystem are you using to store your music
[02:16] <rolfen> Tama00: yeah good idea... but i hope the hard drive youe talking about doesnt host your OS
[02:16] <LinuxProbie> Feisty recognizes the headset and I can get a head-splitting beep when I test it, but all of the sound is still feeding though my notebook's speakers. Any advice?
[02:16] <RGautier> coty - PM me
[02:16] <Newbuntu> :)
[02:16] <younghacker> smh @ that www.vmware.com
[02:16] <Mocheeze> Is there a photo processing software for Ubuntu that I can use to auto crop single scan of multiple images into separate files?
[02:16] <cotyrother1> RGautier: i did
[02:16] <madman91> unagi: one easy way you can do it is to create 2 xorg.conf's ... and just rename them and then tell x to restart
[02:16] <cotyrother1> you did not anwser back
[02:16] <younghacker> >Free Virtualization Products
[02:16] <RGautier> I didn't get it - did you get mine?
[02:16] <dissection> dsnyders: I have 768MB RAM, 20GB free space on the hard disk.. I don't know how much free space is there in swap.. I can't check it right now
[02:17] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, ext3
[02:17] <cotyrother1> RGautier: i got yours
[02:17] <Tama00> rolfen, luckly it doesnt
[02:17] <madman91> unagi: just write the commands into a text file ... just as you would into a terminal ..
[02:17] <osmosis_> how do I start a newly configured eth1 interface?
[02:17] <unagi> even easier madman91 is if i could get a script to do it
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: Is it the same partition your OS is on?
[02:17] <madman91> unagi: just write the commands into a text file ... just as you would into a terminal ..
[02:17] <madman91> unagi: but at the top write #!/bin/bash
[02:17] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow,  nope
[02:17] <Russian> !virus
[02:17] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[02:17] <madman91> unagi: and just execute it
[02:17] <cotyrother1> RGautier: did you get my message
[02:17] <Peter__> !dualboot
[02:17] <RGautier> No, did you get mine?
[02:17] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[02:17] <rolfen> Tama00: worst case scenario you can use rstudio's hard disk recovery tools. they scan for ext3 but it's not free
[02:17] <dirtyhand> whats the command to say yes to all the y/n questions in terminal?
[02:18] <Peter__> sweet
[02:18] <cotyrother1> RGautier: i got yours
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: what does gparted say about the drive
[02:18] <RGautier> Im using GAIM for IRC  but I added you
[02:18] <RGautier> So I don't know why Im not getting yours
[02:18] <cotyrother1> RGautier: im using gaim also
[02:18] <RGautier> coty - IM me with MSN -<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:18] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, damni gotta install gparted.. but fdisk says theres now a new drive and its changed the size 103gig now vs 160 before
[02:18] <genesis> hola!!!
[02:18] <genesis> hola!!!
[02:19] <RGautier> or Yahoo - r_gautier
[02:19] <LinuxProbie> *pokes around* hallo?
[02:19] <unagi> whats the terminal command for rename
[02:19] <Phrozen_One_> dirtyhand, its  COMMAND < yes
[02:19] <dirtyhand> so rm -r folder name < yes
[02:19] <dirtyhand> ?
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: A new drive not just a smaller drive than you really have.. it all sounds BAD
[02:19] <cotyrother1> RGautier: your added
[02:19] <dsnyders> dissection, next time it happens, click on System->Administration->System Monitor, and see if you can determine if any process is hogging resources.  Other than that (and checking your swap) I don't know what to tell you.
[02:19] <SkippySkip1234> hello ubuntu world!  i cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit my xorg.conf file to work properly with my video card / widescreen monitor.  can someone with good knowledge of this start a private chat with me and hash this out?
[02:19] <unagi> whats the terminal command for rename
[02:19] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, yeah like it was sdb now its sde :|
[02:19] <rolfen> unagi: mv
[02:20] <unagi> mv is move is it not?>
[02:20] <madman91> unagi: same
[02:20] <madman91> unagi: mv is rename and move
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: Is this a dual boot system?
[02:20] <unagi> k
[02:20] <TehRealNexGen> SkippySkip1234: trying to sort out your resolution?
[02:20] <SkippySkip1234> yea
[02:20] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, yup
[02:20] <SkippySkip1234> i have a polaroid TV that is not well recongised
[02:20] <dissection> dsnyders: It says 33MB of 1.2GB is used in swap
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: two physical drives?
[02:21] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, yup i have 4 drives in total
[02:21] <unagi> whats the terminal command for ctrl + alt + backspace
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[02:21] <TehRealNexGen> SkippySkip1234: sudo gedit etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:21] <TehRealNexGen> i think
[02:21] <Phrozen_One_> unagi, killall gnome-panel?
[02:21] <unagi> gnome-panel and x server are the same thing?
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: Just for my own curiosity what size power supply are you running?
[02:22] <SkippySkip1234> thanks, but i know how to edit it, but i can't seem to insert the correct parameters
[02:22] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, 350watt i think..
[02:22] <SkippySkip1234> i have my monitor specs and what not, i just can't seem to get it working
[02:22] <unagi> does anyone know the command to restart x server?
[02:22] <astro76> unagi, ctrl+alt+backspace
[02:22] <unagi> not the keystroke
[02:22] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, actually its probably less than that
[02:22] <unagi> the terminal command
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: My first impression is that is not big enough to handle your system... let me find a link realy quick.
[02:23] <Tama00> ok:)
[02:23] <TehRealNexGen> SkippySkip1234: you looked at the monitor section? there's a list of resolutions, have you tried inserting your own?
[02:23] <kbrooks> unagi, /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:23] <dirtyhand> sigh comon how do I rm folder that has write-protected files without having to y every prompt?
[02:23] <kbrooks> unagi, and no,
[02:23] <kbrooks> er
[02:23] <unagi> no what
[02:23] <dsnyders> dissection, It sounds like a program is grabbing all the resources.  Unfortunately, this sort of problem is hard to diagnose.  You may try looking  through  the /var/log files to see if anything strikes you as odd.
[02:23] <SkippySkip1234> yes, i have been at this a while and nothing seems to work, very frustrating...
[02:24] <kbrooks> unagi, and no, gnome-panel and the X server is different
[02:24] <dissection> Can you resend that message? I cleared the window and missed it :S
[02:24] <unagi> ok i figured
[02:24] <unagi> ty
[02:24] <unagi> ok what do i save the text document as
[02:24] <dirtyhand> ls
[02:24] <dirtyhand> rm -r
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: See if you can get into this link   http://www.journeysystems.com/?powercalc
[02:24] <jkthecjer> sup everyone: if i type "make modules", how long should this crap take?
[02:24] <bruenig> 10-15 min
[02:24] <SkippySkip1234> im basically beyond what the docs can do, apparently i have one of those "odd" cases
[02:24] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, alright thanks:P
[02:24] <jkthecjer> alright cool
[02:25] <unagi> kbrooks what do i save the text file as or how do i execute it
[02:25] <rolfen> jkthecjer: pretty long depending on your PC
[02:25] <dissection> dsnyders: Could you resend that message? I missed it by clearing the window..  Why does no manufacturer bother to test their stuff in linux, I wonder?
[02:25] <dsnyders> dissection, It sounds like a program is grabbing all the resources.  Unfortunately, this sort of problem is hard to diagnose.  You may try looking  through  the /var/log files to see if anything strikes you as odd.
[02:25] <jkthecjer> rolfen: that makes me a sad panda
[02:25] <TehRealNexGen> then i dont know what to do next sorry
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: http://www.adecy.com/psu/  may work better
[02:25] <SkippySkip1234> ok thanks anyway
[02:26] <jkthecjer> rolfen: this may sound like a silly question, but is there a way to just rebuild one module?
[02:26] <Tama00> neat thanks Jack_Sparrow
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: Let me know if you are under or over..ok
[02:26] <weasel> moo
[02:26] <Tama00> ok
[02:26] <rolfen> jkthecjer: i am not sure
[02:26] <dissection> dsnyders: Are you sure? It says 33MB only is USED...
[02:27] <snowflake> Wow, I just changed the icons!  That's what everyone was telling me at first, but I didn't understand . . . thanks so much!
[02:27] <dsnyders> dissection, You're going to have to do it at the time you're having the problem.
[02:27] <dissection> dsnyders: I'm having the problem right now
[02:27] <SkippySkip1234> is there anyone i can send my monitor info and xorg.conf file to and have them send me back an edited file so my monitor works at the correct resolution?
[02:27] <unagi> can anyone tell me how to make a text file executable?
[02:28] <RGautier> SkippySkip - I found that if you monitor works now - you just need to add your resolution into the 4-bit, 8-bit, etc sections
[02:28] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, it recommends 220wat
[02:28] <RGautier> Then reboot
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> what cpu are you running
[02:28] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, wait no 500+
[02:28] <dsnyders> dissection, So, right now, you have no desktop icons, but you have a menu bar?
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: thats better
[02:28] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, 542 watt lol
[02:28] <Tama00> eeek
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: I see part of the problem
[02:29] <SkippySkip1234> RGautier:  I have tried for about 20  hours to get it to work and it is beyond me...
[02:29] <dissection> dsnyders: Yeah, thats right
[02:29] <RGautier> E.g. If it says "800x600" "640x480" - add  "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[02:29] <RGautier> Add it in each section
[02:29] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, why would it only cut out this one hard drive then?
[02:29] <RGautier> and reboot
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: You will tear up a system running it that short of power
[02:29] <SkippySkip1234> what about the refresh rates?
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: The one that was in use during a heavy demand on the cpu
[02:29] <SkippySkip1234> i feel like i ran into that problem more than once?
[02:29] <RGautier> Hrmmmm, mine is set to 0
[02:30] <unagi> can anyone tell me how to make a text file executable?
[02:30] <dsnyders> dissection, Hmm...  Do you have a desktop switcher tool running?
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: ONe had to start first..  they may be soft errors
[02:30] <rolfen> jkthecjer: it seems there is a way
[02:30] <rolfen> to build one module only
[02:30] <SkippySkip1234> 0? huh... would you be able to send me your xorg.conf file so I can compare?  i don't know if that's a security issue...
[02:30] <bruenig> unagi, chmod +x textfile
[02:30] <dissection> dsnyders: I don't think so.. What is that
[02:30] <unagi> ty
[02:31] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, i had 3 hard drives going then and i was using very small amounts of cpu cycles
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: I was not trying to pick apart your system but when I see that many drives I always ask that question
[02:31] <thermodynamics44> hey guys i don't know much about linux, but i have a question: Ubuntu is gentoo? if not, what's the diference?
[02:31] <Tama00> probably is a power supply issue lol..
[02:31] <rolfen> jkthecjer: if you type make help you'll see in "Other generic targets" : "dir/file.ko     - Build module including final link"
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: The damage could have been done earlier.. there is no way of knowing.  But we do know you dont have the juice for your hardware.
[02:32] <bruenig> thermodynamics44, gentoo is a source based distro and puts more emphasis on user input
[02:32] <darwin81> How can I update Ubuntu on a machine with no internet connection?
[02:32] <dsnyders> dissection, it's an application that displays a number of little windows on your taskbar/menu bar and lets you switch from one desktop to another.
[02:32] <bruenig> darwin81, you have to get a cd
[02:32] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, :(
[02:32] <dissection> dsnyders: No I'm not using anything like that
[02:32] <baltier> Jack_Sparrow: have you seen "Epic Movie"?
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> darwin81: if you have a machine that has been updated, copy the var/cache/apt/archive folder to a cd
[02:33] <dissection> dsnyders: I'm using AllTray to minimize my apps to tray, thats it
[02:33] <pi3> in what way is linspire "powered by ubuntu"?
[02:33] <bruenig> pi3, who says it is
[02:33] <Justi1> How can I check to see if my video card is using 3d drivers?
[02:33] <SkippySkip1234> RGautier, did you get my last message, you can say no, thats fine too
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: Sorry I dont have a better answer, but knowing that now may save you more trouble later
[02:33] <rolfen> jkthecjer: so you can locate your module source then type something like "make /path/to/module/module_name.ko" ... dunno how well it works.
[02:33] <pi3> bruenig: http://www.linspire.com/
[02:33] <RGautier> Skippy - didn't get message - repeat
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> baltier: No sorry...
[02:34] <SkippySkip1234> RGautier: would you be able to send me your xorg.conf file so I can compare?  i don't know if that's a security issue...
[02:34] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, im just checking the log message now could show something interesting
[02:34] <Justi1> How can I check to see if my video card is using 3d drivers?
[02:34] <bruenig> pi3, ubuntu base plus commercial closed stuff on top. bundle it together slap price tag on it and you have linspire
[02:34] <RGautier> Skippy - yes - I can cut/paste - IM me on Yahoo or ICQ or MSN?  (pick one)
[02:35] <dsnyders> dissection, I'm not familiar with alltray either.
[02:35] <bruenig> alltray is nice although buggy when used with wine apps
[02:35] <jkthecjer> roflen: thanks, but i think ill just let it finish, if the damn module still doesnt work (cypress_m8), ill try building it individually while tinkering with it
  i 'm trying to learn linux, do you think to start it's better Ubuntu? or better? Does: more emphasis on user input, means that i have to know programing ?
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: all you are likely to see are read errors
[02:35] <rolfen> jkthecjer: np
[02:35] <RGautier> Skippy - ? pick an IM service
[02:35] <pi3> bruenig: so it's like ubuntu but paying for the closed drivers.. etc
[02:35] <Justi1> How can I check to see if my video card is using 3d drivers?
[02:35] <RGautier> PMs on IRC dont seem to get to me
[02:36] <SkippySkip1234> oh ok
[02:36] <Russian> bye everyone thanks for help
[02:36] <SkippySkip1234> ummmm
[02:36] <dissection> dsnyders: I closed AllTray.. The problem's still there.. There were no problems till earlier today.
[02:36] <bruenig> thermodynamics44, no linux distribution requires you to know anything about programming. Gentoo is all about you making all the decisions and all the choices about your system. If you don't know what those decisions are or mean, you will be in the dark.
[02:36] <jkthecjer> thermodynamics44: you dont really NEED to know how to program to use linux, it helps for doing things more efficiently later on, but its definitely not required
[02:36] <SkippySkip1234> RGautier can i give you my email?
[02:36] <ScreaminIke> i know that my monitor can support 1280x1024, but when i try to make itdo that through x, it tells me that it's out of range, but then reports back that that IS the maximum range. it was working fine this morning. something got foobar'ed today when messing around with screensaver settings. help?
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Justi1: try running glxgears from terminal
[02:36] <RGautier> Maybe you can help me with that problem ;)
[02:36] <RGautier> Skippy - sure
[02:36] <dsnyders> dissection, I'm not sure what to suggest.  Did you have the problem before today, or was it twice today?
[02:37] <Tama00> Jack_Sparrow, i got a model number mismatch..
[02:37] <rolfen> Justil: may sound silly but you can try to run a 3d game...
[02:37] <dissection> dsnyders: This is the 2nd time today. No problems before this
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Justi1: That cant be good
[02:37] <bruenig> pi3, right, from the about page it is ubuntu, plus codecs, drivers, flash and java and kde
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Tama00: that cant be good
[02:37] <SkippySkip1234> haha sorry im more of an aim fan, i only irc for this forum.  my email is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:37] <RGautier> Skippy - email me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:37] <FuM-Lapto> Hello
[02:37] <Justi1> I can run 3d screensavers and games, but they (especially the screensavers) seem rather laggy and choppy
[02:37] <SkippySkip1234> i'll email you
[02:37] <havanger> hello everyone
[02:37] <dsnyders> dissection, have you made any changes to your machine lately?  New software installed, perhaps?
[02:38] <rolfen> Justil: do you have an Nvidia card?
[02:38] <dissection> Oh crap, dsnyders I cleared the window again and missed your message. Sorry I'm obsessed with /clear :(
[02:38] <Justi1> rolfen: ati mobility radeon x1400
[02:38] <dsnyders> dissection, how long before today was it running problem free?
[02:38] <dissection> dsnyders: About 4 hours
[02:39] <FuM-Laptop> I need a bit help with the installation of ubuntu cause it seems to not be responding to a partition i created for it.
[02:39] <RGautier> Sent you mine Skippy
[02:39] <havanger> who would like to hold my hand in helping my connect to my wireless network?
[02:39] <dsnyders> dissection, is this a fresh install?
[02:39] <FuM-Laptop> And I really want to dual boot windows and ubuntu.
[02:39] <bruenig> havanger, do iwconfig make sure a card shows up with stuff
[02:39] <havanger> k
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> FuM-Laptop: I prefer to leave unallocated space and let the installer partition it.. what error go you get
[02:40] <dissection> dsnyders: I installed it last week
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> FuM-Laptop: I dual boot as well
[02:40] <havanger> i have one on eth1
[02:40] <RGautier> Can anyone tell me why I don't get IRC PMs with GAIM?
[02:40] <bruenig> havanger, ok do sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[02:40] <FuM-Laptop> If I partition a space with the partitioner will it delete my old info on the hdd?
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> RGautier: is your nick registered
[02:40] <RGautier> yes
[02:40] <FuM-Laptop> Cause at this moment I really don't trust it
[02:40] <bruenig> havanger, should see access points
[02:40] <rolfen> Justil: I'm really not sure but I think you must install "linux-restricted-modules" to have the ATI driver... but as I said I'm really not sure
[02:40] <shiester_miester> FuM-Laptop, not if u do it maunally
[02:40] <dsnyders> dissection, So, you installed last week. and it was running problem free until today?
[02:40] <havanger> says: interface doesn't support scaning : no such device
[02:40] <FuM> May you run me through it manually? I don't want to mess up
[02:41] <bruenig> havanger, ask someone else then
[02:41] <rolfen> Justil: I wish someone would confirm that... what ver of ubuntu do you have btw?
[02:41] <dissection> dsnyders: Yes
[02:41] <havanger> bruenig: lol, ok
[02:41] <shiester_miester> FuM, ok.  first you go into the partitioner and select "manual"
[02:41] <cas3> hey, does anyones boot hang on configuring network?
[02:41] <cas3> for like a couple of minutes
[02:41] <FuM> Did, shiester_miester
[02:41] <dsnyders> dissection, did you install anything today or yesterday?
[02:41] <dissection> dsnyders: No, nothing at all
[02:41] <aaroncampbell> Is there a Java application that prints properly?  I have Zend Studio, and it doesn't print.  They blame my Java install, so I want to test it.  However, apparently Eclipse doesn't print.  Is there anything in the repos that could just be installed via adept that is Java and prints?
[02:41] <shiester_miester> FuM, do you have some free, unpartitioned space?
[02:42] <FuM> lots
[02:42] <FuM> 400
[02:42] <shiester_miester> FuM, mb or gb?  im guessing the latter
[02:42] <FuM> Ill give 150 to my ubuntu
[02:42] <FuM> GB
[02:42] <euclid_> hi guys
[02:42] <shiester_miester> you probably don't need that much :P
[02:42] <FuM> I know
[02:42] <shiester_miester> although it depends on what you want to do with it
[02:42] <FuM> =]
[02:42] <euclid_> Can someone help me with "fdisk" and resizing a partition?
[02:42] <godfather> hi im josh i need some help loading ubuntu
[02:42] <FuM> But I want my ubuntu for movies
[02:42] <FuM> and to use the beryl shit
[02:42] <shiester_miester> i just use my existing NTFS partitions to store data
[02:43] <rolfen> euclid_: why dont you use gparted? I dont know if you can resize in fdisk anyway
[02:43] <shiester_miester> FuM, lol beryl is a few mb, its tiny
[02:43] <FuM> I know
[02:43] <FuM> lol
[02:43] <dissection> dsnyders: Could it be a problem with GNOME?
[02:43] <Pelo> is there a restrction on putting symlinks in FAT32 partitions ?
[02:43] <FuM> But I want to run a movie on each side of the cube for the hell of it
[02:43] <retour> I have problems with my newly installed Video card with dual DVI ports and LCD panel over DVI port. It says not detected - if plugged over DVI + VGA adapter to VGA port of my LCD panle it works. Does it mean my DVI port is bad?
[02:43] <shiester_miester> FuM, what video card do you have?
[02:43] <FuM> Ok im at the menu shiester
[02:43] <rolfen> FuM: is that possible?
[02:43] <godfather> okay. when i load from the 6.10 and the new live cd, it loads n then says x server failed to start. how do i fix it
[02:43] <shiester_miester> rolfen, yes its definitely possible
[02:43] <euclid_> rolfen, my laptop has a hidden partition and I am trying to understand the values that "fdisk -l /dev/sda" prints so that I can save the partition and MBR. Can you help?
[02:43] <FuM> Nvidia, 7900gtx x2
[02:44] <FuM> 4 gigs ram
[02:44] <FuM> =]
[02:44] <shiester_miester> FuM, ok, you might have some problems with beryl / compiz, but i hope u dont
[02:44] <shiester_miester> the nvidia drivers can be quirky
[02:44] <torhu> how do I get ubuntu to use 800x600 for the startup screen?
[02:44] <Pelo> godfather,  what video card ?  nvidia or ati you will need to use the alternate install cd
[02:44] <shiester_miester> FuM, although i got mine working, at the cost of some alightly lower performance
[02:44] <Justi1> when I install a program (aka google earth), what is the difference between the install path and the binary path?
[02:44] <godfather> nvidia
[02:44] <Pelo> torhu,  remove the extra resolutions from /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:45] <dsnyders> dissection, I'm stumped.  I don't think it's a gnome problem. but I can't say that for sure.  You could try installing KDE and see if you have better luck.  However, check the log files especially dmesg and messages to see if there are any errors reported.
[02:45] <bruenig> Justi1, there is no such thing as an install path
[02:45] <FuM> Shiester, how do i partition it manualy? I'm on the screen
[02:45] <shiester_miester> FuM, oh well, anyway create a partition as big as u want, make sure its set to start at the beginning of the free space and give it a mount point of "/"
[02:45] <dissection> dsnyders: How do I check them?
[02:45] <rolfen> euclid_: i dont know... I'm trying to understand the output myself
[02:45] <Justi1> bruenig: that's what it says in the installer
[02:45] <FuM> How do i go by doing that?
[02:45] <shiester_miester> FuM, oh and i recommend you make it an ext3 partition
[02:45] <godfather> but will that same error occur when i boot after the install. i need to dual boot and im kind of nervous doing it thru text based installer
[02:45] <bruenig> Justi1, what does it say word for word
[02:45] <torhu> Pelo: uh, I just want to set the startup and shutdown resolution, won't xorg.conf affect the whole thing?
[02:45] <dsnyders> dissection, cd /var/log, then less messages
[02:45] <cas3> noone else has had that problem then?
[02:45] <Pelo> godfather,  you'll need to download and use the alternate install cd for your installstion,   it it text based,  it will install a vesa driver for the installtion then you can install the proper driver for the nvidia card
[02:45] <shiester_miester> FuM, right click the free space and click "create partition" i think, or maybe there's a button for it or something
[02:46] <galactus> join #ubuntu-forum-meeting-pt no freenode
[02:46] <FuM> Ya
[02:46] <Pelo> torhu,  sorry I guess I missunderstood what you wanted to do
[02:46] <godfather> i want to dual boot windows and linux
[02:46] <shiester_miester> FuM, yeah i think there is a button for it just under the partition area
[02:46] <FuM> New partition table
[02:46] <godfather> and install linux on a separate HD. will it let me do that?
[02:46] <FuM> IT says
[02:46] <Justi1> bruenig: it has two text boxes. One is labled "Install path:", the other is labeled "Binary path:"
[02:46] <shiester_miester> ok
[02:46] <dsnyders> diss, or System->Administration->System Log if you like things GUI
[02:46] <kbrooks_> hi.
[02:46] <euclid_> Can anyone help with putting Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop i386 on a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop computer that contains a custom MBR and hidden partition that I seek to record to DVD? THANK YOU. I very much want Ubuntu on my laptop.
[02:46] <Pelo> godfather,  you'll ber able to do that with the alternate install cd as well
[02:46] <godfather> k. thank you
[02:47] <dissection> dsnyders: I think those are errors written there but I don't know what they mean
[02:47] <shiester_miester> FuM, ok make sure the partition doesnt take up ALL of the free space, make it as big as u like but i wouldn't go too big :P
[02:47] <FuM> You have selected an entire device to partition. IF you proceed with creating a new partition table on the device, then all current partitions will be removed.
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> godfatherWhat error do you get trying to install ?
[02:47] <cas3> ok, thanks a lot
[02:47] <shiester_miester> FuM, err no, thats not what you want to do
[02:47] <kbrooks_> !anyone | euclid_
[02:47] <ubotu> euclid_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:47] <FuM> Thats what it says
[02:47] <bruenig> Justi1, that is confusing. There is such a thing as an install prefix, which you would want to set to /usr, generally you set an install prefix and the binary path is understood as /usr/bin. That is the only thing I could think of. that makes any sense. I would just put those in.
[02:47] <shiester_miester> FuM, is there another button that says "create partition in existing free space" or something?
[02:47] <FuM> Noope
[02:47] <euclid_> ubotu, I did ask my question
[02:48] <bruenig> !opsnack | euclid_
[02:48] <ubotu> euclid_: Chocolate!  And Peanuts!
[02:48] <shiester_miester> FuM, is there anything else on the device?
[02:48] <kbrooks_> euclid_, ubotu is a bot
[02:48] <dsnyders> euclid_, you're talking to a robot
[02:48] <bruenig> kbrooks, dsnyders killjoys
[02:48] <FuM> wait
[02:48] <Justi1> bruenig: I am really new to this; what is generally found in the /usr directory?
[02:48] <RGautier> euclid - your problem is going to be your 'custom MBR'
[02:48] <kbrooks_> euclid_, i instructed him to speak to you about a specific topic.
[02:48] <FuM> I got it working with my 50 gig partition that i made for it niw
[02:48] <kitche> euclid_: usually computers come with a program to burn the recovery stuff to a dvd or it's avaiable on the manufactures website
[02:48] <FuM> now*
[02:48] <dsnyders> bruenig, Sorry.  I didn't mean to spoil your fun
[02:48] <bruenig> Justi1, that is where all of the applications are installed
[02:48] <thermodynamics44> hahahahahaha
[02:49] <bruenig> Justi1, outside of real basic utilities which are installed in /
[02:49] <shiester_miester> FuM, do you mean that you already have a 50gb ext3 partition?
[02:49] <FuM> " No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
[02:49] <mattycoze1> hay guys can someone take a look at this; something went wrong in sudo apt-get commandhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29428/
[02:49] <FuM> I made a 50 gig partition earlier
[02:49] <Justi1> bruenig: ok; what about the /opt folder? in a previous installation of earth, it installed to /opt/googleearth
[02:49] <FuM> But it wouldnt use it for some reason.
[02:49] <euclid_> kitche, the hidden partition program is needed to run the recovery CD's that would be made. That is why I'd rather make an exact byte-for-byte backup of the hidden partition and the MBR.
[02:49] <n1> whats the easiest way with iptables to forward port 5500 from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> regardless of which interfaces are involved? there's masquerading setup on the machine which connects to both subnets
[02:49] <shiester_miester> FuM, yeah you have to set "/" as the mount point
[02:50] <FuM> just "/"
[02:50] <kitche> euclid_: yes you have to get one of the programs that has it it does what you want
[02:50] <FuM> Or "/media/sd5"
[02:50] <kbrooks_> FuM, / == root
[02:50] <FuM> Perfect
[02:50] <havanger> can someone help me with unbunu to recognize my wireless card, please
[02:50] <bruenig> Justi1, /opt is good, I don't know how google installs stuff but /opt could make sense. I know azureus and firefox should generally be installed in /opt. Anything that is just extracted and run goes in /opt
[02:50] <YGingras> are backports dead?  Where can I find Emacs22 for Feisty?
[02:50] <kbrooks_> FuM, do you know what the /etc/fstab file is?
[02:50] <shiester_miester> FuM, yes, just "/".  it it's mounted as something else then i hope it doesn't have any data on it :/
[02:50] <RGautier> euclid - you could use dd and the raw devices
[02:50] <euclid_> kitche, Is it possible to use 'dd' for the exact copy and then burn that to a DVD using "cdrecorder" of the LiveCD?
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> euclid_: You can use the dd command to get the mbr and as much else as you need...  it is a powerful tool but anything that powerful can also be dangerous
[02:50] <FuM> How do i assign a swap space?
[02:50] <Bulli_> @FuM you want two videos on two sides of the cube? You can use two different players. Then you have two videos
[02:51] <younghacker> does anybody know how to turn a computer into an air conditioner
[02:51] <mattycoze1> hay guys can someone take a look at this; something went wrong in sudo apt-get commandhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29428/
[02:51] <younghacker> it's hot
[02:51] <shiester_miester> FuM, same way you created your other partition, but instead of selecting "ext3", select "swap"
[02:51] <kitche> euclid_: yes but why would you since you might mess up the hidden partition
[02:51] <osxdude|desktop> I'm using a different IRC client rather than xchat
[02:51] <FuM> How big should it be, Shiester_miester?
[02:51] <shiester_miester> FuM, and as a good rule of thumb, make the swap partition about 1.5x your ram
[02:51] <nano__> hello chat de ubuntu in spanish????
[02:51] <kbrooks_> shiester_miester, bad rule
[02:51] <Justi1> bruenig: how can I delete stuff from /opt? it gives me a privilege error when I try
[02:52] <kbrooks_> shiester_miester, what if he has 2 gb of ram? 4 gb?
[02:52] <shiester_miester> kbrooks_, thats what ive always heard :/ whats bad about it?
[02:52] <euclid_> Jack_Sparrow, I've been reading about "dd", MBR and partitions for 3 days now. I've backed up the MBR and the volume boot loaders for the two partitions. I don't know how to copy the partition to DVD using "dd" though since "dd" can not write to DVD apparently.
[02:52] <FuM> I got 400g to spare Kbrooks
[02:52] <bruenig> Justi1, sudo
[02:52] <kbrooks_> shiester_miester, 8 gb? 16 gb? :-)
[02:52] <shiester_miester> kbrooks_, 2*1.5 = 3
[02:52] <FuM> I dont mind using 10gigs
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> euclid_: yes, or you can compress it as well.. check out the dd command
[02:52] <nano__> algun servidor chat de ubuntu en espaol??
[02:52] <shiester_miester> FuM, you do NOT need that much swap space :P

[02:52] <ubotu> nano: please see above
[02:52] <FuM> So
[02:52] <astro76> Justi1, do you want to delete the google-earth folder in /opt ?
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> euclid_: Let me see if I can find my link for dd
