[09:52] <dyrne> hossasaur: this applies to any network connection you make. that file changes whenever you establish a connection
[09:52] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, rtorrent?
[09:52] <unop> cheeseboy16,  gedit /etc/resolv.conf   and use the !pastebin to show me what you have there
[09:53] <Flamekebab> Right, HDA-Intel soundcard, the mic works fine under skype but when I try and record using audacity or anything else I get a harsh ringing hiss (and if I speak loudly, I can be heard over the hiss). Suggestions?
[09:53] <dyrne> hossasaur: yeah wpa is something ive never fooled with
[09:53] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: Then they both suck.  :P  I've used pretty much everything, and utorrent and rtorrent are the best IMNSHO
[09:53] <Mattias> either works :P
[09:53] <webby> I have problem with write permission on RAID1 /dev/md0...I mounted md0 in /mnt/RAID and assign 777 permission to folder /mnt and to folder /mnt/raid but I try to write in this folder by root user and all ok, I try by a normal user and I have 'permission denied'. So, I check permission in folder /mnt and /mnt/raid and I see permission 744!! I try to reassign but I can't change 744! WHY???
[09:53] <dyrne> hossasaur: its a pain to keep cracking
[09:53] <Quintin> Flamekebab: try a different mike perhaps
[09:53] <hossasaur> dyrne: the only reason i use wpa is because i live in a house with 12 guys, we always have visitors, i thought it'd be easy for everyone if we just had a simple wpa key
[09:53] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, what is UPNP? and why is it not important if an error message comes up?
[09:53] <hossasaur> dyrne: they'll all be bitches if i switch to something in hex
[09:54] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, utorrent and rtorrent are both linux?
[09:54] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: google.com
[09:54] <cheeseboy16> http://pastebin.ca/359431
[09:54] <IcemanV9> tabman: did u mount the root to see if grub file are intacted?
[09:54] <hossasaur> dyrne: and we're surrounded by neighbors who are ridiculous with bandwidth
[09:54] <headphase> Quintin: I have tried to get a wide screen resoultion through 915 resoution and installing the intel drivers, and even modifing the xorg
[09:54] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: utorrent is win32, but works fine with WINE.  rtorrent is linux, and there is an ubuntu .deb package available from repos
[09:54] <bigbang14> can any one help me with a usb-printer problem?
[09:54] <hossasaur> dyrne: i just installed ubuntu, so i'm not sure what to do
[09:54] <unop> dyrne,  /etc/resolv.conf can be made static by 1) getting resolvconf to create it the same way always 2) enabling a hook around the dhclient script 3) chmod a-w /etc/resolv.conf
[09:54] <Quintin> headphase: laptop or desktop?
[09:54] <Flamekebab> Quintin, it's there with any mic and even with NO mic
[09:54] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, i've been trying for about a weekto download a dvd from btjunkie.org and another one and i just can't get it done
[09:54] <headphase> Quintin: laptop
[09:55] <Quintin> Flamekebab: maybe adjust the settings in audacity and alsamixer.  have you tried using front port instead of rear, or vice versa?
[09:55] <headphase> Quintin: dell inspirion e1405
[09:55] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, i don't trust wine much but i will get on the case about rtorrent and see if it helps
[09:55] <subopt> Where can i find a listing of all the packages/versions in the various flavors of ubuntu?
[09:55] <Quintin> headphase: apt-get install 915resolution
[09:55] <unop> cheeseboy16,  why did you give me /etc/resolv.conf ?? :p
[09:55] <Quintin> subopt: man dpkg
[09:55] <unop> cheeseboy16,  /etc/fstab dude .. pay attention
[09:55] <cheeseboy16> (03:53:11 PM) unop: cheeseboy16,  gedit /etc/resolv.conf   and use the !pastebin to show me what you have there
[09:56] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: it's command line only, if that matters.
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, sudo apt-get install rtorrent
[09:56] <Flamekebab> Quintin, my lappy has only two sound ports, one for headphones, one for the mic
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, hell yea!
[09:56] <unop> cheeseboy16,  ohh, errm, I apologise, my bad :p
[09:56] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: .. ?
[09:56] <headphase> Quintin: I have tried that, shoul I try again?
[09:56] <Mattias> Quintin: im new with debian systems (old gentoo user) how do i add the repo for rtorrent? :P i love rtorrent and used to use it on gentoo ^_^
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, dude, what am i gonna do at the command line?!
[09:56] <cheeseboy16> sudo: /etc/fstab: command not found
[09:56] <subopt> Quintin: i'm looking for a web resource or listing, as i'm only considering migration to Ubuntu, but haven't installed it yet.
[09:56] <cmp1988> Anyone know where I can find a walkthrough to installing Compiz/Beryl?
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, that is shocking news
[09:56] <Mattias> cmp1988: i know for beryl :P
[09:56] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: Configure rtorrent to watch a folder, save your .torrent files in that folder, run rtorrent in a detached screen.
[09:56] <dyrne> unop: i dunno i just ended up making a sh script with $1 and $2 variables for device and essid and dhclient i dont really understand how that file is written
[09:57] <Quintin> cmp1988: ubuntuforums.org , look in the newbies section, it's a sticky post.

[09:57] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, beyond me
[09:57] <cmp1988> Thanks Quintin and Mattias

[09:58] <Quintin> webby: chmod -R 777 /mnt/raid ?
[09:58] <cheeseboy16> unop?
[09:58] <tabman> icemanv9: there is no grub directory inside /boot
[09:59] <unop> dyrne,  well, if it's a home computer, you can get away with making it read-only -- but the right way would be to implement hooks around the resolvconf/dhclient scripts .. i believe their manpages explain how
[09:59] <Vilhelms> Is it normal for running a game on a separate X display to decrease performance? I read that as a tip to increase performance but its doing the exact opposite.
[09:59] <unop> cheeseboy16,  address the person you are talking to in this channel, its busy and your posts can easily be overlooked/lost
[10:00] <unop> cheeseboy16,  gedit /etc/fstab

[10:02] <raw-bin> Greets. My edgy installation on my vaio seems to halt for a long time during bootup citing 'Configuring Network Interfaces'. I can't seem to find a solution. Any pointers ?
[10:02] <tabman> icemanv9: ?

[10:03] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, hey, i opened a pm
[10:03] <Flamekebab> hmm
[10:03] <headphase> Quintin: It says Patch mode 58 to resolution 1280x800 complete
[10:03] <Flamekebab> audacity seems to be the problem to some extent
[10:03] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: you have to be registered and logged in to send PMs.
[10:03] <hjmills> raw-bin, its trying to bring up interfaces that are not plugged in - you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file as root
[10:03] <pablo2986> i have dependecy problems

[10:05] <Flamekebab> I think I have it
[10:05] <Quintin> steff: /etc/init.d/mysql stop

[10:05] <Flamekebab> not ALSA
[10:05] <hoagie> ok that didn't work
[10:06] <Flamekebab> if the OSS capture device is /dev/dsp, what's the ALSA one?
[10:06] <unop> cheeseboy16,  the problem you have right now is that you are trying to copy to /media/hda1 which is a ntfs/windows partition .. ubuntu out of the box does not provide NTFS-Write access
[10:06] <hoagie> does anyone a command that flushes the cache?
[10:06] <unop> cheeseboy16,  why dont you just copy the folder to your own desktop ????
[10:06] <esaym> Quintin: can you elaborate some more on that?
[10:06] <soundray> hoagie: sync
[10:06] <unop> hjmills,  gnome-control-center
[10:06] <Quintin> esaym: not really.  what part wasn't clear?
[10:06] <hoagie> simply sync?

[10:07] <unop> hjmills,  never heard of tab-complete at the terminal? :p
[10:07] <raw-bin> hjmills, the thing is that I do not know before hand which interface I will use. Why does ubuntu try to configure an interface that is not plugged in anyways ? Any idea ?
[10:07] <xNinja> 5.10 doesn`t have xwindow by default ??

[10:11] <hoagie> and one question how can i ping but be unable to load a web page
[10:11] <soundray> pablo2986: okay, do "sudo aptitude install vlc" again and answer the question with 'Y' instead of q
[10:12] <livingdaylight> can anyone read me?
[10:12] <vlt|home> mzanfardino: `sudo /etc(init.d apache start`
[10:12] <hoagie> this doesn't makes sense to me

[10:12] <sethk> hoagie, ports blocked?  web server not running on the machine you pinged?  lots of possibilities

[10:12] <pablo2986> /quit

[10:13] <hoagie> yeah but I cant load any webpage
[10:13] <Quintin> steff: 2nd time.  I said *run* the script, NOT OPEN it.

[10:13] <gizmo_the_great1> Hi. I have 4 additional 160Gb IDE drivers connected via a PIC IDE Adapter. I am thinking that I could use LVM to create a single volume of about 600Gb. Does this sound feasible, and recommended?
[10:13] <betatux> hoagie, maybe you're blocking websites ?
[10:13] <AlexC_> guys, is Ubuntuforums down?
[10:13] <hoagie> all of them?
[10:13] <esaym> Quintin: 128kb
[10:13] <koech> thx
[10:13] <Quintin> koech: This is really a dumb thing to do.  If you must, do sudo su > passwd to give root a password.
[10:13] <firecrotch> Is anyone else having problems getting updates from http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main ?
[10:13] <hoagie> I don't think so
[10:14] <steff> Quintin: i understand, but i think everytime i start ubuntu the sript starts und the server is running, but i want no autostart
[10:14] <sethk> hoagie, it's possible to block, say, port 80, which blocks all web sites
[10:14] <towsonu2003> AlexC_, seems so to me, yes
[10:14] <betatux> hoagie, do you run a firewall ?
[10:14] <koech> i want to edit the readonly Grub menu.lst
[10:14] <hoagie> no
[10:14] <AlexC_> towsonu2003: ok, thanks
[10:14] <koech> how can i make it?
[10:14] <hoagie> but I didn't block a port
[10:14] <Quintin> esaym: Ok.  it's not a disk image then.  Google for 'dos boot disk' and find an image.  I think bootdisk.com will give you something
[10:14] <firecrotch> AlexC_, looks like they're having problems with several servers
[10:14] <soundray> koech: 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[10:14] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, do you need the catenated space? lvm != raid
[10:14] <Mattias> gksudo
[10:14] <AlexC_> firecrotch: bugger, thats not good =( hope they get them fixed soon =)
[10:14] <betatux> hoagie, do you use a proxy to surf the net ?
[10:15] <sethk> hoagie, didn't say you did, just said such a thing is possible
[10:15] <firecrotch> I can't get updates from security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main
[10:15] <esaym> ok thank you
[10:15] <webby> Quintin: no, chmod -R not work. The folder /mnt/raid is ok with the permission 777 until when I mount /dev/md0 (md0 is created with MDADM)
[10:15] <hoagie> Simply I got a new dns address after an isp system upgrade and since then i can't connect ...
[10:15] <gizmo_the_great1> thingy: Sorry - I do not understand?
[10:15] <hoagie> no I don't use a proxy
[10:15] <AlexC_> firecrotch: I can here,
[10:15] <Quintin> webby: I heard you the first time.   See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[10:15] <sethk> hoagie, if you use the ip this way:   http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, it doesn't work?
[10:15] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, im just wondering why you want to use lvm and not software raid, thats all
[10:16] <hoagie> yes
[10:16] <firecrotch> AlexC_: seems to me as if they're being DoS attacked
[10:16] <gizmo_the_great1> thingy: oh right. I do not know really. Not sure which is best?
[10:16] <hoagie> em sorry no it doesn't work
[10:16] <AlexC_> firecrotch: I sure do hope not :P
[10:16] <sethk> hoagie, so it fails both by name and by number?
[10:16] <headphase> Quintin: I rebooted and I noticed that the resoultion changes twice, so somethin has to be overriding the resolution
[10:16] <betatux> hoagie, i'm pretty sure you're dns server is wrong or can't be reached
[10:16] <hoagie> I didn't try a number
[10:16] <fxr> if i install a load of packages to get a package to build from source, is it ok to remove the packages i installed these packages?
[10:16] <Vilhelms> I'm trying to run an 3d game in a separate X display so I can run it while I'm in Xgl but the performance is horrible if I do that, whether I'm running in Xgl or not. What could I be doing wrong? Here's a copy of the script I am executing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6137/plain/
[10:16] <firecrotch> Well, I'm connected now, just getting 601B/s though
[10:16] <sethk> hoagie, try by number.  that will establish whether the problem is dns, or something else
[10:17] <AlexC_> firecrotch: it's working again now
[10:17] <betatux> hoagie, you can test dns , open a terminal and try nslookup www.google.be
[10:17] <Quintin> hoagie: I told you to how to use a different DNS, didn't I?
[10:17] <hoagie> I think ubuntu kept the old dns and now tries to use the old one

[10:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opendns - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:17] <soundray> fxr: it's okay to remove the build-depends

[10:17] <hoagie> no
[10:17] <koech> thx, it works...
[10:17] <koech> bye
[10:17] <sethk> hoagie, see if it works by number, that's step 1.
[10:17] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, lvm's advantages are youve got a very flexible partioning and disk usage mechanism. software raid on the other hand, gives you the benefits and downfalls of whatever raid mechanism you choose to use

[10:17] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[10:17] <hoagie> ok I have to boot back to ubuntu now
[10:18] <fxr> aww right, great, thanks soundray , appreciated..
[10:18] <Quintin> steff: look in /etc/rc.d.*  Somewhere in there will be a script or link to start mysql server.  Delete it.  This will do what you want to do.
[10:18] <gizmo_the_great1> thingy: yes - the RAID options did concern me a bit. e. mirroring equalling 50% total capacity, striped less redundancy etc. I figured lvm, with it being built into the kernel, may be a more stabel solution
[10:19] <unop> steff,  Quintin - use update-rc.d to safely enable/disable services
[10:19] <Flamekebab> if the OSS capture device is /dev/dsp, what's the ALSA one?
[10:19] <sethk> gizmo_the_great1, actually, I would say that external RAID is more stable, in general.
[10:19] <sethk> gizmo_the_great1, although I haven't tried the specific thing you are using.
[10:19] <Vilhelms> I'm trying to run an 3d game in a separate X display so I can run it while I'm in Xgl but the performance is horrible if I do that, whether I'm running in Xgl or not. What could I be doing wrong? Here's a copy of the script I am executing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6137/plain/
[10:19] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, since youve got 6 disks, raid 5 is prob. a good thing for you since, the amount of disk space wasted reduces the more disks you have in the raid.
[10:19] <soundray> steff: (Quintin, unop) -- or better yet, install bum
[10:19] <soundray> !info bum | steff
[10:19] <ubotu> steff: bum: graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.7-1 (edgy), package size 80 kB, installed size 524 kB
[10:20] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: striped is *zero* redundancy.
[10:20] <unop> soundray,  errm no thanks :)
[10:20] <unop> he he
[10:20] <Quintin> It's only one server.  just deleting it is easiest.
[10:20] <soundray> unop: okay, you're special ;)
[10:20] <gizmo_the_great1> i have 4 disks - not 5.
[10:20] <vocis> XDMCP problem: my gentoo box can connect to ubuntu's gdm, and it sees the login window, but after logging in, it closes
[10:20] <unop> soundray,  it's not that, i just dont like the sound of that app
[10:20] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: indeed - this is what worries me. Very tricky to recover from data loss if a problem
[10:21] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, ack my mistake..i thought i read that you had 6 disks...
[10:21] <gizmo_the_great1> thingy: no worries :-)
[10:21] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: You mean impossible.
[10:21] <soundray> Vilhelms: interesting approach. What do you mean by "separate X display"?
[10:21] <brianski> is it just me or is security.ubuntu.com down?
[10:21] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: what is your goal with raid?
[10:21] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: well, no. Just very tricky :-)
[10:22] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: I want more space as a single volunme
[10:22] <thingy> brianski, it gets hammerred a lot...just keep retrying
[10:22] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: LVM would be better then.
[10:22] <dyrne> brianski: we banned you
[10:22] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: my single 160Gb disks, a couple are nearly full,
[10:22] <Flamekebab> if the OSS capture device is /dev/dsp, what's the ALSA one?
[10:22] <brianski> dyrne, huh?
[10:22] <Vilhelms> soundray, X :3 -ac &
[10:22] <soundray> brianski: several ubuntu sites aren't responding or are slow
[10:22] <vocis> can anyone help me please? :)
[10:22] <zgerrz> #winehq
[10:22] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: OK, thanks. Is there anything easier than the command line, or is that it?
[10:22] <Vilhelms> soundray, thats what i'm doing to start X on display 3, and then i tell it to run cedega on that display
[10:23] <brianski> thingy, "just keep retrying" sounds like the reason it gets hammered a lot :)
[10:23] <Vilhelms> soundray, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6137/plain/
[10:23] <vocis> I have an XDMCP problem: my gentoo box can connect to ubuntu's gdm, and it sees the login window, but after logging in, it closes
[10:23] <thingy> brianski, :-)
[10:23] <hoagie> ok the nslookup command worked i got a response
[10:23] <Nomikos> anyone else having trouble with apt-getting stuff from security.ubuntu.com ?
[10:23] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: for putting together LVM?  Maybe gparted can do it, I don't know.  I usually do it during an install and let the wizard handle it.
[10:23] <cb_> ya
[10:23] <quaal> does anyone have problems with banshee freezing ?
[10:23] <Quintin> Nomikos: I think a DDoS is going on atm
[10:23] <Nomikos> ouch
[10:23] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, the alternative cd installation(when choosing to install a command line system) has a partitioning section which makes setting up software raid/lvm very very easy
[10:24] <elias__> There is something very wrong here with my network. I'm downloading in 3000 b/s and Im getting connect (111 Connection refused) all the time
[10:24] <thingy> swap/cd installation/installation cd
[10:24] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: thingy: yeah, I know. But my system is well established now, so as far as I can tell I have to use 'lvm' which has a subset of commands
[10:24] <lun>  Re: Master Kernel Thread
[10:24] <lun> Hi all, I come here again with a question:
[10:24] <lun> What are the config options related to the graphic card compiling?
[10:24] <lun> Specifically for the nvidia driver what do we need?
[10:24] <lun> From what I got from the Gentoo wiki. the framebuffer part should be disabled, i.e.
[10:24] <lun> Device->Graphic support ->Support for frame buffer devices.
[10:24] <ompaul> !enter
[10:24] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:24] <lun> I disabled them all
[10:24] <lun> I just wonder if other options may involve with the nvidia driver module installed from their official release. Because I'm experiencing some strange problems. And this problem was not here before I compiled the kernel myself. It's in this post on nv forum
[10:24] <lun> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84962
[10:24] <soundray> Vilhelms: I suggest you try terminating the original X session to see if performance returns to normal on :3 after that

[10:24] <francois> hi, does anyone else have problems connecting to the edgy servers for updating ?
[10:25] <sasoyna> hi guys(i repropose my problem) i have a problem with ktts.In talker configuration "select voice" is gray. i can;t select a voice though ktts not work.:(. i have a kubuntu 6.06 distro. you can help me?
[10:25] <Vilhelms> soundray, hrm... i should try that
[10:25] <steff> okay thanks a lot :) - bum looks very good
[10:25] <Quintin> lun: Install the kernel-headers package for your kernel.
[10:25] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: well spotted. thanks :-)
[10:25] <soundray> steff: mine in particular

[10:25] <webby> Quintin: Sorry!
[10:25] <Flamekebab> Quintin, if the OSS capture device is /dev/dsp, what's the ALSA one?
[10:26] <lun> ompaul I get it , thanks
[10:26] <Quintin> Flamekebab: The same, I think.   Somebody told me to use the lookup command so I booted to ubuntu and tried it, it worked now what?
[10:27] <thingy> vocis, gnome or kde? re: the xdcp problem
[10:27] <vocis> thingy, gnome
[10:27] <francois> Quintin: I don't know if this is related to my not being able to update, or if anyone else has the same prob
[10:27] <soundray> hoagie: remind us what original problem you were going to solve

[10:28] <Quintin> hoagie: Have you still not tried what I told you?
[10:28] <thingy> vocis, any messages in .xsession-errors or /var/logs/X.* logs?
[10:29] <hoagie> What did you told me?
[10:29] <vocis> thingy, yes, and it confuses me whether the problem lies with the ubuntu server, or the gentoo client

[10:34] <jumburrito> i can't I don't know what the sound is I keep hearing it
[10:34] <jumburrito> it's like banana phone my god
[10:34] <linxeh> vlt: check the other replies I gave

[10:34] <LjL> !bot > st3    (st3, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:34] <jumburrito> someone has to make it stop

[10:34] <linxeh> Nomikos: likewise; shame I bought an unsupported professional soundcard
[10:34] <jumburrito> no
[10:34] <dimeotane> can I run gparted from the partition that my edgy system is running on? or do I need to boot the live CD... I need to get more space set up 30g is running out pretty quick..
[10:35] <st3> LjL, thank you
[10:35] <jumburrito> it's some really creepy system sound
[10:35] <dts> What's the simplest way to get a simple sendmail setup working, so that I can have my website use sendmail to send confirmation emails and such
 u need a live cd
[10:35] <AlexC_> jumburrito: oh ... cos that would have been so funny haha.
[10:35] <jumburrito> it happens every minute or so I guess
[10:35] <erUSUL> dimeotane: it is better to do it from livecd
[10:35] <jumburrito> I'd rather be hearing banana phone
[10:35] <jumburrito> atleast I'd know what it is
[10:35] <AlexC_> jumburrito: haha ... erm, I don't know what to suggest sorry
[10:35] <jumburrito> instead I get a sound like Windows XP when you connect a mouse
[10:36] <cheeseboy16> gaten, get cecedga
[10:36] <soundray> dimeotane: you can't manipulate mounted partitions in gparted. Boot from a live CD
[10:36] <AlexC_> jumburrito: like it's mounting a USB drive then dismounting then mountign again?
[10:36] <jumburrito> yes
[10:36] <jumburrito> imagine doing that every minute
[10:36] <dimeotane> ok thx again guys.. that's what I figured
[10:36] <linxeh> vlt: a scirpt, unless you ran it as root, shouldnt change the locale permanently. you cant change the locale an app is using if its already running afaik - you need to restart them, it might be you need to logout and in again too
[10:36] <dimeotane> but wasn't sure
[10:36] <AlexC_> jumburrito: do you have any USB drives or anything?
[10:36] <jumburrito> it sounds like someone is connecting and disconnecting something
[10:36] <jumburrito> no
[10:37] <gaten> cheeseboy16:  for oblivion? i just wanted to know if it was any more stable than the native windows version

[10:37] <dts> linxeh: and it'll "work out of the box" ?
[10:37] <AlexC_> jumburrito: Ok, in terminal type "mount"
[10:38] <jumburrito> okay
[10:38] <jumburrito> you think it's a drive mounting and unmounting?
[10:38] <vlt> linxeh: omg, KDE and all the other apps are running for 63 days now. What on earth could have changed LANG to "C" suddenly?
[10:38] <AlexC_> jumburrito: hold on ... Ubuntu shouldn't even be making a sound when things mount/unmount :P that can't be it
[10:38] <daniequy> hello. why Internet is faster in win than in ubuntu?
[10:39] <jumburrito> well I do have /proc/bus/usbfs mounted
[10:39] <AlexC_> jumburrito: yeah that's what I was thinking ... but it's playing a sound, which Ubuntu doesn't do by default
[10:39] <jumburrito> ?

[10:41] <dimeotane> I'm wanting to extend my 30g ext3 ubuntu partition... and I know I'm *supposed* to back up.. but how common is it that my system will totally get screwed up?  If there's a risk, I'm thinking maybe it's a better idea to make a second partition for storage instead of extending this one?  Any thoughts?

[10:43] <jumburrito> make sure the disk is functioning
[10:43] <elias__> it is
[10:43] <piroko> Does anyone know why updating ubuntu 6.10 gives connection refused errors while connecting to security.ubuntu.com on a fresh install?
[10:44] <AlexC_> piroko: Security servers are down
[10:44] <jumburrito> your OS is telling you it is in your bootup mount file and isn't working correctly i believe
[10:44] <erUSUL> piroko: problems in the server side?
[10:44] <piroko> Thank you very much
[10:44] <dimeotane> I have so many memories of making hours of work cause of my messing with a good system.. I'll never forget the time I had dos5 on my new laptop.. and my autoexec.bat got erased.. it took me days to get a new one set up
[10:44] <bwilson> How can I quickly move an app to a different workspace?  is there a keyboard shortcut?
 I have already Disabling IPv6.
[10:44] <AlexC_> bwilson: right click on it "Move to another workspace"
[10:45] <MrSiebel> Does anyone know how to use kdevelop?
[10:45] <bwilson> AlexC_  is that the fastest way?
[10:45] <AlexC_> bwilson: I'm not sure if there is a shortcut .... hum, I think there is but can't remember
[10:45] <vlt> linxeh: /etc/environment: LANG="de_DE.UTF-8", ~/.profile doesn't exist, ~/.bash_profile nearly only includes ~/.bashrc which hasn't been modified since dapper got stable ...
[10:45] <soundray> bwilson: you can setup a keyboard shortcut in Sys-Prefs-Keyboard Shortcuts
[10:45] <varkatope> !anynone
[10:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anynone - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:45] <varkatope> !anyone
[10:45] <ubotu> 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?
[10:45] <daniequy>  linxeh:  and it does not change anything
[10:45] <dimeotane> soundray: you mentioned there's a difference between extending and resizing partitions... I'm confused.. I didn't realize there's a difference... can you elaborate?
[10:46] <soundray> bwilson: under Window management
[10:46] <imsocute> hi
[10:46] <AlexC_> varkatope: do !anyone | username - then it sends the message to them, so they get it
[10:46] <jumburrito> I think he meant there is a difference between resizing a partition and making an "extended partition"
[10:46] <varkatope> AlexC_: ok
[10:46] <imsocute> im just new to ubuntu and im having problems updating beryl
[10:46] <Taime1> if i install the nvidia driver in commandline, then UNinstall it, does my xconf go back to normal, or do i have to configure it manually?
[10:46] <AlexC_> imsocute: ask away =)
[10:46] <dimeotane> jumburrito: ok makes sense
[10:47] <elias__> jumburrito, in /etc/fstab it say # /dev/sda5 UUID=24169060-b3a9-46be-b59a-f15a3fe3f154 none            swap    sw              0       0, something wrong there?
[10:47] <soundray> dimeotane: sorry, I misread your words. I was thinking about resizing, which was what you originally asked about, and "extending", by which I meant buying another hard disk and extending your storage space with it.
[10:47] <tonyyarusso> Taime1: You probably have to reconfigure it.
[10:47] <imsocute> it says dpkg interupted
[10:47] <Taime1> i can just store a copy right? then drag and drop with a live cd??
[10:47] <paniK> Hi. I wanna run kubuntu with vmWare in windows so that I can fully learn the OS before switching over. But I cant find any vmWare configurations files for kubuntu edgy? Plz help ;D
[10:47] <imsocute> i have to start it manually...um i don't know how to
[10:47] <jumburrito> elias_ I couldn't tell you, I don't know that much. I was just giving you my take on the error you were getting
[10:48] <atomiku> what can I use to get cool meters like disk/net usage? ive tried gdesklets but that sorta sucks
[10:48] <jumburrito> what kind of device are you trying to mount?
[10:48] <jumburrito> System Monitor
[10:48] <ompaul> paniK, so do gnewsense and then do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and work with it
[10:48] <AlexC_> imsocute: what is the full error you get?
[10:48] <elias__> I dont understand what you mean
[10:48] <imsocute> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[10:48] <soundray> paniK: if you can find one for ubuntu, that will probably work. If you can find one for debian, it should work, too.
[10:48] <imsocute> i tried to do it in the terminal
[10:48] <jumburrito> what are you trying to mount, elias?
[10:48] <dimeotane> soundray: you made a good point.. a user that doesn't back up... ever.. really has no insurance.. so they must not *need* it that much
[10:48] <paniK> ompaul how do I get gnewsense?
[10:49] <imsocute> it doesnt do anything
[10:49] <elias__> im trying to mount a ntfs harddisk
[10:49] <AlexC_> imsocute: ok, so in Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) type "sudo dpkg --configre -a" (no quotes)
[10:49] <tonyyarusso> Taime1: what?  Why does this involve a live cd?
[10:49] <dimeotane> I think, I shall start a backup now
[10:49] <ompaul> paniK,  by going to its website .org and downloading the CD
[10:49] <headphase> something is overrding my screen resolution
[10:49] <paniK> soundray: ok. Sounds good =) Figured an ubuntu would work. But cant get that one neither
[10:49] <jumburrito> i imagine you can't mount it because it is NTFS, it's do-able but I don't know how sorry
[10:49] <AlexC_> imsocute: it will ask you for you're password. So just type it in, it will not show you typing in the password though - but it is entering it
[10:50] <jumburrito> I only know how to do it the other way
[10:50] <Taime1> my question was, can i just copy my existing xconf, then use a live cd to drag and drop it if i screw it up?
[10:50] <Taime1> i think i did that once before
[10:50] <soundray> elias__: the diskmounter seemed to find an entry in /etc/fstab that it didn't want to override. Can you pastebin your /etc/fstab for us?
[10:50] <imsocute> it says: dpkg: unknown option --configre
[10:50] <elias__> soundray, sure
[10:50] <Music_Shuffle> !NTFS
[10:50] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[10:50] <soundray> imsocute: type more carefully ;)
[10:50] <paniK> ompaul: Yeah but the thing is that Ive only got 1 hdd. And I dont like 2 os sharing the same hdd... Bad stuff happened last time ;) So thats why I wanna run it thrue vmware until I feel I know everything I need 2 know
[10:50] <dimeotane> too many hours have gone into this lovely edgy setup on my new dell m1210... and I'd hate to see it all permenantly messed up....
[10:50] <babo> where is the touchpad sensitivity thing for gnome ?
[10:50] <AlexC_> imsocute: woops, sorry my mistake.   Just using cp would be simpler than a live cd.
[10:51] <AlexC_> soundray: nah! twas my fault, I said do --configre lol
[10:51] <jumburrito> dimeotane is there anything else important on the drive?
[10:51] <ompaul> paniK, so there ya go, choices and more of them

[10:52] <jumburrito> i would defrag the windows partition if you don't plan on overwriting it
[10:52] <Markatrop> Does anyone in here know how to use elilo and efibootmgr and wouldn't mind helping me out?
[10:52] <dimeotane> k
[10:52] <AlexC_> imsocute: you're welcome
[10:52] <dimeotane> oh yea.. defragging.. heh.. .that old windows issue
[10:52] <jumburrito> defrag it with a 3rd party utility several times before you mess with partition sizes and back everything up that is even remotely important
[10:52] <AlexC_> !anyone Markatrop
[10:52] <jumburrito> lol

[10:59] <hossasaur> i realize some of my problems aren't entirely related to ubuntu, but i thought i'd seek help here
[10:59] <lun> how to safely resize my ubuntu root partition?
[10:59] <soundray> atomiku: also, did you know that you can search the package database, either with "apt-cache search keyword" or via synaptic?
[10:59] <dimeotane> in case I totally mess my system with doing some partition resizing
[10:59] <hossasaur> initially, i partitioned my drive as 20gb for vista, 20gb ext3 for ubuntu, 40gb fat32 for media, 4gb for swap
[11:00] <AlexC_> hossasaur: unforntuantly our Physic users are on holiday and so we can't read you're mind to see what problems you are having. You'll have to type you're problem out so we can help you, untill our Physics get back :P
[11:00] <dimeotane> I think lun, you and I have similar questions... start with a backup for the safest method

[11:01] <dimeotane> I have 1g ram.. 2 g swap

[11:10] <thingy> joey221, try and be gentle with the computer...no sudden moves or loud noises.... its a timid operating system :-)
[11:10] <jumburrito> Does anyone on god's green earth know why Ubuntu would make sounds randomly? I can't stand it!
[11:10] <dimeotane> AlexC_: I chatted with 'instant' online assistance... hah that was funny.. the guy replied to my questions about getting a refund... like I was a total space cadet for asking *such* a rediculous question... he basically gave me the 1800 number for customer support in the end.
[11:10] <erUSUL> jumburrito: what type of sounds?
[11:10] <joey221> erUSUL: I'm trying to run this on a Via EPIA motherboard -- it's relatively new, as am I -- I'm just stuck here  :(
[11:10] <jumburrito> I have been staring at the system log hoping for some indication of what's happening when it makes the sound but I can't see anything
[11:10] <Pelo> pgi947, caplock maybe ?
[11:10] <jumburrito> Like the sound Windows XP makes when you plug in a USB device
[11:10] <jumburrito> or unplug it
[11:11] <jumburrito> it's two sounds, just like Windows XP
[11:11] <pgi947> nope i have tried just about everything so far, same error everytime
[11:11] <varkatope> joey221: what epia?

[11:26] <ompaul> !nickspam | vocis
[11:26] <ubotu> vocis: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages (see !Away for more details): use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently
[11:26] <joey221> thingy: i'll try that now
[11:27] <thingy> paul, his computer rebooted when unplugging the mouse hence the disconnects/reconnects and nick change

[11:36] <gordonjcp> thingy: isn't that what module-assistant is supposed to do though?
[11:37] <Rune_> hi. Does the ubuntu installer(s) try to load specific video drivers during setup?
[11:37] <headphase> hello again
[11:37] <gordonjcp> thingy: it's not a very custom kernel - it's essentially the plain 2.6.17 kernel with the system tick rate set to 1kHz
[11:37] <thingy> gordonjcp, ive not used it so i dont know..tell me...is it just the nvidia drivers you are concerened about? if so, then just use make-kpkg for building the custom kernel and use the latest nvidia.sh drivers to recreate the module each time you compule the kernel
[11:38] <elias_> Does anyone else get slow apt-get speed?
[11:38] <ompaul> Rune_, yes, whatever it detects that is closest/known to work and ... if not vesa
[11:38] <gordonjcp> thingy: tried that, the module gets clobbered at every reboot
[11:38] <headphase> something is overridng my resoultion
[11:38] <Rune_> ompaul; will it load nvidia drivers?
[11:38] <Absenth> Rune_: it will not load the closed binary drivers.
[11:38] <ompaul> Rune_, where nvidia = nv yes, but those blobs from the company no
[11:38] <Absenth> Rune_: not during the install.
[11:38] <headphase> I can't get my Intel drivers to load
[11:39] <hossasaur> ompaul: i just got all of those from the synaptics package manager
[11:39] <headphase> I've tried xorg and 915resolution
[11:39] <varkatope> !anyone | prodigel
[11:39] <ubotu> prodigel: 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?
[11:39] <Rune_> hmm...
[11:39] <thingy> gordonjcp, by what? umm what did you follow to create your custom kernel? when creating one, you have to pass a param which gives the kernel a customised version otherwise youll get problems having both ubuntus 2.6.x kernel and your 2.6.x kernel on the system
[11:40] <gordonjcp> thingy: yes, I did that
[11:40] <thingy> gordonjcp, ok priv msg me about what your setup is and what your trying to do
[11:40] <gordonjcp> thingy: I did this -> http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[11:40] <gordonjcp> possibly that howto is bogus, but it worked OK for me
[11:41] <Rune_> ompaul; has there been any problems that you heard of with the nv drivers? im getting the "screens found but none have a valid config" Xorg error
[11:41] <gordonjcp> right, give me 2 secs, need to switch back to text mode
[11:41] <tomp> soundray: i found ubuntu docs on how to mount the iso image and replace the current os . inside the iso img is a file   file:///media/ISO/doc/install/manual/en/ch04s04.hml,   you copy 2 vmlinuz and initrd, then fiddle grub's menu.lst and reboot. choose the fakey cd 'NewInstall' and it goes ( tomp crosses fingers )
[11:41] <gordonjcp> ah, that's better
[11:41] <ompaul> Rune_, what version
[11:41] <Rune_> distrio 6.10
[11:41] <Rune_> im downloading 6.06 just to try it
[11:42] <Rune_> what version of the nv drivers no idea.
[11:42] <ompaul> Rune_, 6.10 was what I was wondering about
[11:42] <Rune_> but im reading about "kernal attach problems" tho i think that's the 3pty nvidia drivers
[11:43] <elias_>  could anyone tell me their "average" downloadrate at apt-get upgrade ?
[11:43] <hossasaur> ompaul: it says 'could not mount, windows did not shut down properly, try to mount in windows'
[11:43] <Rune_> elias_; it's completely dependant on your connection and how close on the internet the sources you are using are to you
[11:44] <bobofett> Don't suppose anyone here plays Sauerbraten on 6.10 using an nVidia 5200?   hahaha pretty specific question...ha
[11:44] <ompaul> hossasaur, part of that message was the word "beta" so I wonder should you reboot and get it to scandisk itself or some such
[11:44] <Rune_> bobo; did you install ubuntu with no worries on that card?
[11:44] <bobofett> Well if anyone does does it ever freeze up on you during multiplayer?
[11:45] <Absenth> bobofett: I played World of Warcraft in OpenGL mode on a 6800gs on 6.10.  But to your specific question, no.
[11:45] <bobofett> yeah the card seem "fine"
[11:45] <Rune_> my 7800 "not fine"
[11:45] <bobofett> only getting a little over 200fps in glxgears
[11:45] <hossasaur> ompaul: i can't boot to the partition, it hangs when i try to boot
[11:45] <elias_> Rune_, I have a 3.5mbit connection and im downloading form the norway server, and im only downloading from 3000b/s to 20 kb/s
[11:45] <bobofett> but the game actually plays fine when it's going.
[11:45] <bobofett> no problems there.
[11:45] <Rune_> elias_; that sounds really crap :)
[11:46] <ompaul> hossasaur, did you try to mount and write proir to using fuse?
[11:46] <Absenth> bobofett: the nv driver really isn't 3d accellerated.
[11:46] <hossasaur> ompaul: yes
[11:46] <hossasaur> ompaul: i mounted using: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/windows -t ntfs -r -o uid=999,gid=999,umask=777
[11:46] <elias_> Rune_, indeed. I download other files in 600 kB/s so it have to be something with that apt
[11:46] <Rune_> elias_; from .au to us apt sources i have easily maxed out connections in the past
[11:46] <bobofett> just at random times it freezes during on-line play and I can't get out...I got to another console and kill sauerbraten and when I go back just a black screen I always have to Ctr-Atl-Bkspace it.
[11:46] <hak0> hi all
[11:46] <ompaul> hossasaur, then just try to rescue your data - if you tried to write to it without fuse you may have killed it
[11:46] <elias_> Rune_, so i should try switching server?
[11:46] <hak0> can anyone confirm me that xorg dev files to build X exist on the mirrors? i'm in Portugal and apt-buil doens find it on pt mirror, tnkx
[11:46] <Rune_> bobofett; checked Xorg log?
[11:47] <brosioz> hey
[11:47] <Rune_> elias_; maybe
[11:47] <hossasaur> ompaul: i didn't try to write to it yet, though i can currently view it
[11:47] <ompaul> hossasaur, and fuse is "beta"
[11:47] <brosioz> when will bw release Festy Fawn  ?
[11:47] <varkatope> brosioz: 19th
[11:47] <elias_> Rune_, roger
[11:47] <ompaul> hossasaur, grab your data if you can view it
[11:47] <Rune_> this is really going to suck but maybe i just have to remove my gfx card to get ubuntu going.
[11:47] <varkatope> brosioz: 19th april
[11:47] <brosioz> varkatope: 19th february ?
[11:47] <brosioz> dho
[11:47] <bobofett> Damn I preach log files all the time and I forgot myself!  thanks Rune...I"ll get back to you kid is waking up...thanks though.
[11:47] <linxeh> 19th of April?!?! Slackers!
[11:47] <linxeh> ;-)
[11:47] <brosioz> no impossible
[11:47] <Absenth> FOSS question here.  Is an application like MP32OGG required to pay the $.75 for the MP3 Codec?
[11:48] <Rune_> lol @ bobo
[11:48] <brosioz> they are aledry
[11:48] <brosioz> with the third
[11:48] <brosioz> rc
[11:48] <linxeh> brosioz: eh ?

[11:48] <ompaul> !enter brosioz
[11:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enter brosioz - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:48] <brosioz> varkatope: when will be released
[11:48] <Absenth> lisapc: yes, and no.

[11:49] <ompaul> hossasaur, if you can view it use nautilus - click on
[11:49] <Vilhelms> I am trying to run a 3d game on a separate X display so I can run it while I'm in Xgl mode, but the performance of it is horrible. I even tried it without Xgl and it still runs a lot slower if I run it in a different display instead of the main display. Is there another alternative, or a way to configure it so it doesn't decrease performance?

[11:49] <ompaul> hossasaur, sorry - places home folder and navigate to the partition
[11:49] <Absenth> lisapc: From what I've been reading,  The configuration of Grub for vista is different than for XP/2000 etc.  Be sure to research Vista & dual boot before starting anything.
[11:49] <brosioz> thx
[11:50] <vons> absenth: directory not found
[11:50] <lisapc> i got a new ntebook with Vista on C: and a free D: partition. Can I install xbuntunu on D: and create a dual boot menu?
[11:50] <Absenth> vons?
[11:51] <justin4thirty> Hello. Does anyone here have any idea why I would be getting a kernel panic worning from the Edgy live cd?
[11:51] <vons> absenth: you said, drop to the command line,  chmod +x vmware-install.pl and then ./vmware-install.pl  expect to have to add packages.
[11:51] <justin4thirty> well, more than a warning, I guess
[11:51] <hossasaur> ompaul: if i sudo cd /media/windows, it says cd unknown command
[11:51] <Muzik83> lisapc: yes that is entirely possible, why xubuntu though if the machine can run Vista?
[11:51] <justin4thirty> more like a complete crapping of its pants
[11:51] <hossasaur> ompaul: and nautilus wasn't able to view the folder before
[11:51] <brianski> hmm, i tried to remove a package with dpkg i shouldn't have. now when i do dpkg -l | grep $pkgname the first char is r, ie "ri  libc6 2.4-1ubuntu12.3 ..." - is there a way to clear whatever is marking that r there, so it says ii like other installed packages?
[11:51] <ompaul> hossasaur, is it mounted?
[11:51] <Muzik83> lisapc: and furthermore, your D: drive would disappear
[11:52] <Absenth> vons: ahh.  read the specific error messages in the install script,  They give you lots of clues as to what you need to do next.  VMWare on Ubuntu is not "easy"
[11:52] <hossasaur> ompaul: yes
[11:52] <Absenth> lisapc: you MIGHT find this useful....  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=213601
[11:53] <hossasaur> ompaul: i can only view the files in the terminal
[11:53] <Vilhelms> I am trying to run a 3d game on a separate X display so I can run it while I'm in Xgl mode, but the performance of it is horrible. I even tried it without Xgl and it still runs a lot slower if I run it in a different display instead of the main display. Is there another alternative, or a way to configure it so it doesn't decrease performance?
[11:54] <walla> could anyone tell me how i can change the icon for all my multimedia files?
[11:54] <brianski> usually i just dpkg --force-all -r $foo ; apt-get install $foo, but i don't want to do that with libc :)
[11:54] <ompaul> hossasaur, so then for example: mkdir foo; cd /lost/cause/partition; cp -R * path/to/foo/.
[11:54] <thingy> Vilhelms, nvidia or ati card?
[11:54] <Vilhelms> ati
[11:54] <j3g> i am trying to install ubuntu on a new HP server.. it has the NC373i network adapter, which doesn't seem to be detected by ubuntu... i have found drivers for suse and redhat enterprise on HPs page... is there a way to use those drivers on ubuntu?
[11:54] <PwcrLinux> HI there
[11:54] <Vilhelms> thingy, ati and i can only use xgl on my card from what i've been told
[11:55] <hossasaur> ompaul: thanks, i'm trying that
[11:55] <PwcrLinux> FF still spikes again.. I thought the kernel 9.. somewhere inside of my system files..
[11:55] <Vilhelms> thingy, My card is an ATI Xpress 200
[11:55] <thingy> Vilhelms, a moment...searching
[11:56] <Vilhelms> thingy, Alright
[11:56] <LMNT_OX> whats good all.....
[11:56] <quaal> does anyone have problems with banshee freezing up?
[11:56] <LMNT_OX> i've got several questions, whenever someone is available....
[11:57] <elias_> Rune_, its still random it seems, goes from 25kb to 3000 b/s :|
[11:57] <hossasaur> ompaul: that's actually working....real quick though, i have my large fat32 partition mounted as /media (which looking back on it, was probably a mistake).  i'm copying /media/windows to /media/windowsbackup
[11:57] <justin4thirty> So, I pop in the Edgy cd and it gives me a kernel panic message on boot up. Then, I install dapper, no problems, and upgrade to edgy. Kernel panic. Does anyone know why this is?
[11:57] <hossasaur> ompaul: is it storing to the ext3 partition or the fat32 partitoin?
[11:57] <PwcrLinux> I would think to dump breezy out hehe
[11:57] <ompaul> hossasaur, the contents of a partition do not care about where they live
[11:57] <stiz> where do you put a WPA key for wireless encryption? i have a fon hotspot router and it requires WPA
[11:58] <ompaul> hossasaur, the contents of a file may care where they are opened
[11:58] <Blais1> Hi Everyone
[11:58] <Blais1> I've a question about screen resolutions
[11:58] <Absenth> stiz: I know there is a package or two you have to add to give Ubuntu WPA support.  however I can't remember the name.
[11:58] <justin4thirty> Kernel panic? No one?
[11:58] <Absenth> stiz: I suspect someone here knows where you might find a how-to for WPA +ubuntu
[11:58] <Blais1> I have a widescreen monitor, how can I add teh correct resolution for it?
[11:59] <warewolf_> Hello, anyone know how to add my own tools to control-panel?
[11:59] <Absenth> Blais1: laptop or desktop?
[11:59] <Blais1> desktop Absenth
[11:59] <ompaul> !resolution > Blais1 (please read the message from the bot thanks)
[11:59] <Absenth> Blais1: most of the time that information is published on the MFG site.
[11:59] <hossasaur> ompaul: i'm copying my entire sda1 (~15gb) to either sda2 or sda4.  sda2 has ~11gb free space, sda2 has ~40gb free space
[11:59] <justin4thirty> I don't suppose the bot knows anything about kernel panics?
[11:59] <Absenth> Blais1: Most 17,19" 16:9 monitors are ~ 1280/800 or 1440/900 or so
[11:59] <slv> what's a kernel panic?
[12:00] <Joenin> you tell me
[12:00] <Blais1> thanks"
[12:00] <justin4thirty> Heh, pretty much what it sounds like, I guess. I'm not entirely sure.
[12:00] <thekidrio> the kernel gets afraid of ghosts
[12:00] <thekidrio> and it panics
[12:00] <PwcrLinux> kernel panic, likely system halted
[12:00] <hossasaur> ompaul: sda4 is mounted as /media, sda1 is mounted on /media/windows, i'm cping the files to /media/windowsbackup
[12:00] <justin4thirty> It results in linux not booting, though.
[12:00] <Muzik83> kernel panics are "bluescreens" of dealth
[12:00] <yipe> justin4thirty, have you been playing with grub.menu or installing other operating systems?
[12:00] <thekidrio> its not halted, its just not working how it should
[12:00] <Muzik83> only not so blue
[12:00] <thekidrio> its not a sane environ
[12:00] <ompaul> hossasaur, fine
[12:00] <justin4thirty> Nah, I get it from the live cd.
[12:00] <Absenth> kernel Panic is nearly the same as a BSOD
[12:00] <hossasaur> ompaul: sda2 is mounted as /
[12:00] <thekidrio> no way
[12:00] <PwcrLinux> WSOD?
[12:00] <justin4thirty> I can't even install grub to break it.
[12:00] <Absenth> what they said.
[12:00] <ompaul> hossasaur, but I would only be grabbing data
[12:00] <thekidrio> bsod != kernel panic
[12:00] <adaptr> Absenth: erm... not nearly
[12:00] <warewolf_> I meant control center in feisty
[12:00] <yipe> justin4thirty, time to burn a new CD :P
[12:00] <hossasaur> ompaul: i'm just backing up the partition in case something is wrong
[12:01] <thekidrio> you get useful info from a kernel panic
[12:01] <justin4thirty> But, here's the thing! I install Dapper and upgrade to edgy, and get the same kernel panic.
[12:01] <hossasaur> ompaul: i just want to know what partition it's being stored on right now
[12:01] <thekidrio> a core dump = a bsod
[12:01] <Absenth> adaptr: for a NON coder/hacker it's close enough.
